《New Age Of Summoners》 Chapter 1: AJAX

1 AJAX

Vr City, Zrochester Province. Vr city is one of the famous city under Draton kingdom as it earned a great revenue for the kingdom. And also Silver orphanage is the main reason for the kingdom to increase the good impression of the city because many famous people in the military came from this orphanage. In an open ground behind the Silver orphanage, a boy of 7-8 year old boy is dragging a 50 jin stone that is tied to his waist. His body waspletely covered in sweat, but still, gritting his teeth he continued. "Lately my Nightmares are getting worse, I think I should increase my training to lessen them", the boy muttered as he continued to drag the stone. His name is Ajax. Although he looked like 8 years old he is in fact only 6 years old due to daily training.He is training very hard daily from the age of 4 . From age 3 he is getting weird nightmares in his sleep daily which makes him sleep less. Due to insufficient sleep, he looked very weak with ck circles around his eyes. When he was 4 years old, an old man joined the orphanage to instruct the kids in their training. All called him elder boron. "Hey brat, if you want to sleep peacefully then train your body", elder boron said to Ajax on the same day he joined the orphanage as the instructor. Ajax was shocked because he didn''t said anything about his nightmares but somehow this old man knew. He asked many questions to that old man but he got no reply, so he also stopped asking questions. Although he didn''t believe the elder still he tried and the results were shocking. He truly slept peacefully on that day. From that day onwards he continued to train his body in the morning and sleep like a log in the night. "Hey brat, stop dreaming and focus on training", elder boron yelled at him. Ajax woke from his daze and started his training with concentration. Aside from him many other children are also training in the ground but not all of them are as focused as Ajax. Still some children are doing their best. Because if they can exert 1000 jin by the age of 15, they can be enlisted to military and have a proper standing and also they can improve their ranks by doing merits to the kingdom. So this only first step for them for their future. In this world, people can improve their body by training. They are called Cultivators. Orphanage conducted this daily training drill to increase more children to increase their body force to 1000 jin by the age of 15, so that they can be enlisted to military by the Kingdom. If more children are enlisted then more rewards are bestowed to the orphanage, so orphanage emphasized on training their children. "Damon, rx 5 minutes and start running around the ground" "Hector, focus more on the punch" "Jason, you are the eldest of all the children here but still you are lift same weight as your younger brothers. Increase the weights" Elder boron shouted continuously at the children as he instructed them. soon sun began to sink down as night came. "Ok then, we will stop here for today. Everyone shoulde here by 6.A.M tomorrow morning otherwise no breakfast and lunch for those whoeste", instructed elder boron loudly. " yes sir", shouted all the children as they breathed a sigh of relief. "Ajax, wait here, I need to talk to you about something" as all the children are returning to their rooms, elder boron told Ajax to stop. "ok elder", Ajax stopped and waited till all the children left the ground. Ajax respected elder boron a lot because that old man said many stories of legends and trained him with variety of exercises soley to him. It helped him to suppress the nightmares. He also wondered what would he say now??? Chapter 2: Shadow

2 Shadow

After all the children left the ground only Ajax and elder boron are standing on the open ground. "Ajax, do you have anything to say about nightmares to me? ", asked elder born slowly. " yes elder, I think my training should increase,tely the intensity of the nightmares are increasing", said Ajax hurriedly. "There is no need to increase your training.." "But my nightmares??", before elder finished his sentence Ajax interjected in panic. " No need to worry, I have a solution, that''s why I ask you to wait" said the elder "Really" Ajax asked quickly. " Yes,e to my room tomorrow morning by 5 A.M. I will take you to a ce", said the elder mysteriously. "Where", Ajax asked expectedly. "What''s the hurry, You will know tomorrow. So be ready and don''t bete", elder reminded him once again. " Ok then elder, I will return to my room now", by saying that he run off quickly in the direction of orphanage. Elder stood there watching the silhouette of Ajax and mumbled something. As soon as Ajax reached his room, he friends Damon and Hector who are waiting for him said "Ajaxe quickly, otherwise we will miss our dinner if we gote". Ajax also know that if you gote there will be no food for you that night, so he hurriedly washed his face and rushed to the dinning hall. Although the food given to them is not good it''s not bad either. It''s better than mostmon people that only eat brown bread and congee. But it is still not enough to make up for their training, so they did some misceneous works like cutting wood, selling animal skins they hunted, etc and earn some money for nutritious food. Also , all children who are above 15 years old should leave the orphanage regardless whether they enlisted to military or not. Most people settle asmoners in their life, some are enlisted to military. After eating their food, everyone went to their rooms. In silver orphanage one room is allocated to four members. In Ajax''s room, other three members are Damon, Hector and Jason. With Jason being eldest(nine years old) others are of same age as Ajax. All four members are very close and cared for one another. "Ajax, what that old monster said to you today after we left the ground", asked Jason Actually Jason has same body force as others so Elder boron regrly made Jason to work more exercise ( of course except Ajax) so he name the elder as old monster. Although he called him old monster he didn''t hate him because he know he will have to leave the orphanage earlier than others so elder boron is trying to increase his body force by making him do more exercises. "Nothing, he just wants me to do more exercise tomorrow", Ajax said nonchntly. " Ajax, do you know that you are a little monster", shouted all other roommates at once. They all know that Ajax''s nightmare situation since they are all roommates, and also know he has to do more exercise than others to suppress it but he still wants to do more training, they don''t know whether to cry orugh. "It''s making me sick just thinking about all your exercise routine, and you are still fine after all that exercises, ok then good night", Hector said wait a puking action and went to sleep. " Good night " said others also and went to sleep. "Good night" Ajax also went to sleep after saying that. In the middle of the night, Ajax made sounds in his sleep due to nightmares which make him wake up several times in his sleep. At some point of time one shadow came to his room silently moving on the floor and soon took the shape of silhouette and touched several points on his body. As soon as the shadow finished touching Ajax''s pained face returned to normal and slept peacefully. "It''s intensity increased sooner than expected, next n should be done quickly then", muttered the shadow and dissolved in the floor and soon disappeared Chapter 3: Meditation

3 Meditation

In the morning, Ajax went to elder boron''s room within the said time. Elder boron was also ready in his usual white robe. As soon as elder boron saw Ajax he said Ajax to follow him. Although elder boron is moving slowly Ajax was unable to catch the pace and started to jog behind him. Slowly that jog turned in to run after some time. They continued like that untill they reached the cursed wilderness. Cursed wilderness is a vast forest that inhibits various beasts that are very bloodthirsty. But elder boron is now taking Ajax in to this cursed wilderness. Although he looked worried Ajax still followed the elder without any questions because he know that he will not get reply anyway. "Brat, no be careful and follow me, otherwise you will lost in this wilderness", slow voice of elder is heard in Ajax''s ears. Shock could be seen on his face as he knew it is the voice transmission that only cultivators can achieve after reaching a certain level. "That means elder boron is a high level cultivator", Ajax muttered slowly as he followed elder boron. Ajax always have some doubts about this elder but didn''t ask him anything because he rarely answered his questions. As they travelled deeper he wondered why they didn''t encounter any beasts. Ajax thought it might be rted to this elder. Soon they reached a cave that is well hidden. As soon as Ajax and elder boron entered the cave, the door closed automatically. Ajax looked at elder in awe. How elder know there is a cave here and even if he knows why did he bring him here. Ajax has a lot of questions but kept quiet and followed elder boron. "Hah.... ", As soon as he saw how huge the space inside the cave Ajax open his mouth in awe. " ok ajax, now It''s time for you to learn about some things about cultivation", elder boron started slowly as he continued, "Do you know why 15 years old children are epted in to military if there body force is 1000 jin??? ". ".... " Ajax also always wondered about this but still he don''t know why, so he asked "why elder? ". " It''s because when your body exerts 1000 jin by the age of 15 your body is strong enough to learn spirit techniques "elder took a deep breath and continued, " If you don''t have sufficient body force you will die due to the impact caused by the spirit technique on your body." "Elder, what are spirit techniques? ", Ajax asked. "Spirit techniques are supernatural powers that can be cultivated by the cultivators. These spirit techniques can be various types like attack, defensive, support, auxiliary etc.,They are ssified into mortal, earth, heaven and celestial. Again these are sub ssified into low, mid and high. In the military, the draton kingdom allows everyone who passed the 1000 jin mark can be given 3 mortal type techniques,which are low, mid and high mortal spirit techniques".elder said slowly. "Is there really no other chance if we didn''t reach the 1000 jin mark", Ajax asked somewhat worriedly. Because he only has 200 jin body force now and he is the only one having highest body force among his peers. " Actually there is one", as though the elder was waiting for this moment he said quickly. "what is it elder", Ajax asked. "You don''t need to know now, you will know when the time is right" said elder seriously. "ok, then why did you brought me here", Ajax said dejectedly. " Is to help you cultivate ", Ajax eyes sparkled with excitement when he heard this. " Really ", Ajax asked " Enter the circle and sit in the center", said that elder. Now only did Ajax realised there is a circle with some unknown symbols. Once Ajax entered in to the circle and sat down he felt his surroundings started changing. "Close your eyes and feel the energy around you", as soon as he sat down he heard the elder Boron''s voice. He did as he was instructed. As he closed his eyes and tried to feel the energy around him, he felt something is forming in his body Chapter 4: Spirit Gathering Circle

4 Spirit Gathering Circle

Ajax felt that something is forming in his body but he is unable to tell what it is. So he continued to sense the energy around him. Ajax was totally immersed in sensing the energy around him. As he continued to sense the energy he felt like there are different types of energies around him but he is unable differentiate them. After 30 minutes Ajax felt the energy around him is starting to disappear, so he stop sensing it and opened his eyes only to see elder baron, who is smiling from ear to ear. "Elder, why are you so happy and also what is this circle that made me sense energies around me with ease", asked Ajax. " It''s called spirit gathering circle, and I am happy because I feel happy, hahahahaha", elder boron startedughing loudly. No one knows the reason why he isughing. "Also, don''t tell anyone about this cave and circle", now elder boron turned to his Usual serious tone. " ok, elder what does this spirit gathering circle does? ", Ajax asked. Although he experienced the feeling but he didn''t know correctly about it, so he asked elder about it. " This Spirit gathering circle helps to gather pure essence of nature from the items ced on the circle", elder exined while pointing his finger to the items ced on the outer circle, which are turned to dust now. "essence of nature???? ", Ajax didn''t understand what it is. seeing that elder boron exined, " essence of nature is the type of energy that is present in the nature. Although essence of nature is present in the nature due to certain factors it turned impure in this zrochester province, now with the help of this spirit gathering circle we can collect the purest form of essence of nature, but it will take very long to gathering much essence, so I used some natural treasures that contain high essence of nature in them". "But elder why are you using so many precious items on me", Ajax asked after some hesitation. " We arete for morning drill, move we should go quickly ", elder diverted the topic not wishing to answer his question. As always Ajax stopped questioning and followed elder boron. Soon they reached open ground behind the orphanage. Few minutes to 6 A. M,, Slowly all children gathered in the ground and continued their daily routine exercises. Regrly they have two session of training ie., one in the morning and one in the evening each sessionsts for 2 hours. In the mean time, they did some works in orphanage. "why I am not feeling any stress on my body", Ajax regrly typical exercises didn''t strain him, so he said to elder boron about this. "As expected of you", elder boron thought and said to Ajax "Try this posture and see". As Ajax tried the posture his body looked somewhat strained but that didn''t strained his as much as the strain his body feels daily. After some time he went to elder boron and asked him to give something more, but the reply he got is ''no''. So he continued with same posture. Soon the morning session came to an end. While all children looked exhausted Ajax lookedpletely rxed andter in the day he did more works to strain his body. After evening session he asked elder boron, "are we going to the cave tomorrow morning also". " No", elder replied stiffly. "why elder", again Ajax asked the elder because he liked the sensation he felt in the morning when he was in the spirit gathering circle. " Your body can''t handle the energy if you continue daily ", said the elder. " elder, I forget to ask you something this morning, that I feel different energies in the spirit gathering circle but can''t differentiate them", asked Ajax. "It''s for you to discover, so try to sense with more concentration next time", elder said tly to Ajax. " And when it is elder? " "After one month" After some questions and answers, Ajax returned to orphanage for his dinner. On that night, Ajax didn''t get any nightmares, "maybe it''s rted to spirit gathering circle" was Ajax''s thought. Finally after a very long time he slept peacefully. Chapter 5: After 4 Years

5 After 4 Years

In a cave, a 12-13 years old boy can be seen meditating inside a circle. His body is surrounded by small particles of different colours which are shinning like stars. asionally, a frown can be seen on his face. He is none other than Ajax who is currently 10 years old. Due to his daily training he looked like a 12 -13 years old boy. "As expected of ''their'' child, only ten years and he is very close to differentiate the energies around him", outside the circle a white robed old man silently thought to himself. From thest 4 years, elder boron increased his training by giving him additional 17 different postures. With the one he was given already, he now has 18 postures. In the starting he didn''t feel any strain but when they arebined it''s very effective on his body. The most important thing is his body force reached 800 jin mark which is very close to 1000 jin. Apart from postures, every month he wille to the cave to meditate inside the spirit gathering circle. "I think within 2-3 months, I can differentiate between these energies. Also elder boron said he will say something important to me when I differentiate these energies", Ajax thought himself when he sensed the energies around him started to disappear. As Ajax opened his eyes, they shined with brilliance. He stood up with a content smile on his face. "Don''t feelcent so soon, you have a long way to go in the future", Although elder boron is also more than satisfied with Ajax''s improvement but he was worried that Ajax might be arrogant, so he berated him. " Elder, I think I can soon differentiate between the energies ", hearing the berating elder, Ajax said slowly. " I know, let''s move back to orphanage ", elder boron said nodding his head. Soon they reached the ground behind the orphanage Ajax started his exercises with other children. During this 4 years not only Ajax but his friends did some serious exercises. Seeing their hardwork and thinking they also have some good martial talent he imparted some difficult postures. Due to this, all reached good body forces but not as high as Ajax. Jason with 700 jin only next to Ajax. Damon and Hector reached 615 jin and 630 jin respectively. Seeing these results all other children stared at them enviously. They know that elder boron instructed different exercises for different children. Those that worked diligently, elder boron will instruct more exercises but most childrenck that and they can''t ask elder to teach them directly. But some children tried to copy the postures of Ajax and his friends but they can''t bear it for 2 seconds and gasp in pain. From then no one tried these postures fearing cruel pain. Seeing this elder boron can only shake his head nit approving their behavior. "Hey Hector you may have high body force now but soon I will surpass you", Damon said seriously. " you, stop dreaming Damon. only in your dreams you can surpass me", Hector said jokingly as he continued, "my target is senior brother Jason, after that Ajax". " Hahahaha..... ", Damonughed loudly making Hector embarrassed. " Why are youughing ''demon'' ", Hector asked Damon. " Hey, who are you calling ''demon'', My name is Damon, and also it''s impossible to surpass Jason much less Ajax.", Damon shouted loudly. "Stop talking nonsense and do your exercises idiots", elder boron yelled at them. They stopped talking and concentrated on their exercises making Ajax and Jasonugh. In the night, as usual Ajax slept peacefully. Duringst 4 years he didn''t have any nightmares and he totally forgot about them. But he don''t know that he is enjoying the calm before the storm. Soon 3 months passed by In the cave, inside the spirit gathering circle Ajax mutterd, "Finally I was able to tell the differences between the energies and also my body feels full of energy". Chapter 6: Types of Essence of Nature

6 Types of Essence of Nature

In the cave, inside the spirit gathering circle Ajax muttered, "Finally I was able to tell the differences between the energies and also my body feels full of energy". Ajax stood up excitedly and came outside the spirit gathering circle. He looked around but could not find elder boron in the cave. Although he wanted to go outside and find elder boron but he didn''t dare to go out because elder boron warned him not to go outside alone. "I think it''s better to wait inside the cave than to go out, lest I be food for beasts",Ajax silently thought to himself. In the mean time he started to recall the insights gained inside the spirit gathering circle about elements of essence of nature. " It all began when I started to focus my consciousness on a single element. When I concentrated solely on the red coloured elements, it''s felt very warm. I think it may be rted to fire attribute",thinking upto here Ajax continued, "Simrly, when I focused on blue coloured elements, it felt refreshing and rejuvenating. May be it is considered water attribute. When he consciousness surrounded azure coloured elements he felts pleasant. Yellow coloured elements made him feel like he is bing sturdy. When Sensing green elements my body is full of Vitality. But I can''t say what attribute it is. I think I should ask elder boron when hees..". At some point of time amidst of sensing elements inside the spirit gathering circle, he wondered the elements around him must be rted to fire, water, wind andnd. But only recently he managed to feels the differences like warm, refresh, pleasant, sturdy and Vitality. Although he is unable to tell what attribute this vitality belongs to, he can deduce something about it but he wanted to confirm first whether it is right or wrong with elder boron. While he was recalling about different elements of essence of nature, he heard elder Boron''s voice. "Hey brat, did you finished your meditation??". His body froze suddenly,because he didn''t even know when elder boron entered the cave and stood behind him but soon he supressed the shock and answered elder boron, " Yes elder, also I managed to feel energies and now I can differentiate them. I think they are different attributes of essence of nature that you said about. Like fire,water,air andnd which are represented by red, blue, azure and yellow.But I don''t know whether I am right or wrong", Ajax said while remembering the feeling, he felt when he was meditating inside the spirit gathering circle. "What!! you sensed four types of energies inside the Spirit gathering circle? ", elder boron asked surprisedly. " No elder, I sensed all five elements that are present inside the spirit gathering circle", Ajax replied innocently. "whattttt!!!!!!", previous surprise turned into shock now. It''s not entirely wrong to be shocked because ording to him,In general one member can only sense one element, in some cases some geniuses can sense two elements. In very very rare cases that is, one in one million, can sense three or four elements. But now the boy infront of him can sense five elements. There is also another doubt inside his heart that he only used the treasures that contains these five elements and now he sensed all of them, what will happen if he use other elemental treasures? can he also sense them?? But soon he recovered from his shock when he heard Ajax''s voice, "yes elder I sensed all five elements but from thest element I felt Vitality but I didn''t know which attribute it belongs to? ". " It belongs to Life attribute which is very rare, not bad not bad", elder boron nodded his head with satisfaction. Ajax also felt something is formed inside his body but before he asked elder boron about it, "Ajax, since you can sense elements if essence of nature fully then it''s about time for you to learn about Summoning", elder Boron said slowly. Chapter 7: Summoner and Elemental spirits

7 ''Summoner'' and Elemental spirits

"Ajax, since you can sense elements if essence of nature fully then it''s about time for you to learn about Summoning", elder Boron said slowly. " Summoning? ", Ajax clearly confused when he said that word. " Yes", elder boron replied with a sigh by looking straight in to the eyes of Ajax, he continued "Summoning is an ancient art which help an individual to summon the spiritual beings called ''Elemental Spirits'' from the Spirit world and the individual who can summon these elemental spirits are called ''Summoners'' ". saying upto this elder boron stopped talking to allow Ajax to remember about what he said just now. " With the help of Summoning one can summon these so called elemental spirits but what are they? ", Ajax asked with his interest piqued. Ajax always has an interest in learning new, so when he heard about what elder boron said, his interest was piqued. Seeing curiosity on Ajax face, elder boron felt satisfied " As I said earlier Elemental spirits are the spiritual beings, that are born in the spirit world where a certain type of energy is concentrated for millions of years", taking a short break elder boron continued as, "When the summoner summons the elemental spirit from the spirit world to his or her world a deep bond that a master and servant pact is formed between the summoner and the elemental spirit. Once this bond is formed the summoned elemental spirit always follows the summoner as his or her servants. And one more thing for you to know is, if an elemental spirit dies a bacsh urs on the summoner''s spirit consciousness. However if the summoner dies then the elemental spirit also dies". After ingesting all the words said by the elder boron Ajax questioned him "Isn''t it disadvantageous for elemental spirit?". " Hahahah.. ", Elder boron chuckles lightly as he replied, " Although its disadvantageous for elemental spirits, the only way for them to get strong is to form a pact with the summoner, who in turn provides their pure essence of energy to the elemental spirits. This pure essence of energy helps the elemental spirits to improve their cultivation and bes strong. Now you say, isn''t it fair for elemental spirits to be stronger than to remain at the bottom of food chain". Nodding his head Ajax agreed with elder boron. "Then elder, how is it rted to me sensing the elements of essence of nature? Is it essential to sense the elements to summon??? And also how can one be a summoner? ", Ajax asked a bunch of questions to elder boron. '' Like father like son, both are fast learners and ask a lot of questions'', elder boron silently thought to himself in his mind as he answered " Hey brat, that''s what I am going to say next. Summoning requires a minimum age of 15.Next important factor is your Spirit consciousness. If you can store enough essence of nature in your spirit consciousness then you will have a dream specific to your element of essence of nature stored in spirit. If you can sessfully convince the elemental spirit and form a pact with it then you sessfully summon that elemental spirit ", elder boron exined about summoning patiently. "Elder, you said one can only summon the elemental spirit after Sessfully convincing the elemental spirit, but earlier you said elemental spirits only hope to be stronger through this. Then will they decline to form a pact?", Ajax found something wrong with the logic, so he asked elder boron about it. "Although they hope to be stronger but they only form a pact with the person whom they trust or who is formidable", elder replied calmly. " what will happen to the person who is unable to convince the spirit", Ajax asked the next question with out any dy. "Nothing, but his stored essence of energy in his spirit consciousness will be depleted. But it will take some time before he can have another dream, without elemental spirit there is nothing a summoner can do....", elder boron silently did some signs with his fingers, as he exined Ajax about his question. Soon a shadow came out of the elder Boron''s shadow and stood infront of Ajax. Chapter 8: Dark Elemental Spirit :-Cimmeris

8 Dark Elemental Spirit :-Cimmeris

"Nothing, but his stored essence of energy in his spirit consciousness will be depleted. But it will take some time before he can have another dream, without elemental spirit there is nothing a summoner can do....", elder boron silently did some signs with his fingers, as he exined Ajax about his question. Soon a shadow came out of the elder Boron''s shadow and stood infront of Ajax. Ajax was shocked to see the lean and long shadow that is standing infront of him. He also felt a strong pressure suffocating him that made him sweat a lot. He is not even able to move his own body in the pressure. "What is that shadow that is making me feel suffocated and freezing my body just with a look", Ajax thought he will lose his consciousness if it''s continued like this. " Cimmeris, stop fooling around and retract your ''Bloodlust'', otherwise he will pass out with the pressure", elder boron ordered the shadow being. "Heheehe...., I was just ying with him", that shadow being called cimmeris retracted his bloodlust. As soon as the bloodlust is retracted Ajax fell on to his back panting heavily. " What???, Your ying with me???, it''s like you are trying to kill me", Although Ajax want to shout at the shadow being but didn''t dare to do it. "Elder, what is that shadow being???",He just turning his head to face elder boron and asked. Although Ajax know what that is but he wanted to confirm it whether it is right or wrong. " It''s my contracted elemental spirit ", elder boron continued as he said with a proud look in his eyes, "It belongs to the rare dark attribute". " Now I will introduce you to my dark elemental spirit. His name is Cimmeris. Although it''s very yful in nature, It''s very powerful", elder boron introduced Cimmeris to Ajax. "Hello elder Cimmeris", Ajax didn''t take the previous incident to heart and greeted politely and then he asked elder boron," Elder, Will all the elemental spirits have a name??. " No need to call me Elder, just Cimmeris will do, yes, every elemental spirit have a name ",Instead of elder boron, his dark elemental spirit Cimmeris soon came infront of Ajax and said "Not bad, not bad, you clearly withstood my bloodlust for few seconds, it can be considered an achievement for you boy ". " Is it the feeling I felt is because of bloodlust?? phew... it''s very scary. By the way what is it elder? ", Ajax asked with a scared look on his face. " It''s one of the skills of Cimmeris ", elder replied calmly. " skills??, are there many skills for one elemental spirits? ", Ajax asked the question as usual. Seeing Cimmeris about to say something, elder boron red at it and said to Ajax " You don''t need to know about that now, You will know when it is time". Disappointment shed in his eyes when Ajax heard that but soon he heard elder boron say, "don''t act like that pitifully infront of me, I brought a small gift for your aplishments in sensing the elements of nature. Eat it quickly and don''t worry about training drill today,I already asked permission for you", as elder boron finished speaking he took out a fruit that looked like a peach from a small ck wooden box and gave it to Ajax. As soon as he caught the scent of the fruit he had an urge to eat it, but he suppressed his urge to eat and asked elder boron, "Elder,what is this fruit?? Its urging me to eat this". " Not need to suppress your urge. Eat it quickly,I will say what fruit it is after you eat", elder boron said in somewhat quick tone. Sensing the urgency from the tone Ajax didn''t ask anymore questions and started eating it. Ajax soon finished eating the fruit and sensed the energy that is formed in his body before, started moving. Chapter 9: Meridian cleansing frui

9 Meridian cleansing frui

Ajax soon finished eating the fruit. As soon as the fruit went in to his stomach he Sensed the energy that is formed in his body before, started moving. Ajax felt his Spirit consciousness is increasing slowly along with the life elemental essence of nature is continuously pouring in to it. He felt very energetic and full of vitality. His meridian bing boarder and sturdier. All the impurities present in his body are being forced out through the pores. This entire time he was totally immersed in meditation. He obeserved his spirit consciousness belongsrger andrger. After 1 hour "ackk!!", as soon as he came to his senses Ajax''s nose caught a pungent smell,and with a horrible face he said, " what is this horrible smell and why my body is covered with this thick ckyer". "Hey brat, Go and bath properly in the spring over there, untill don''te near to me", elder boron said pinching his nose with one hand while pointing at the spring with another hand. Ajax soon cleaned himself properly and when he came out of the spring he saw a new set of clothes ced at the edge of the spring. He know that this clothes are from elder boron. He quickly wore the clothes and rushed to elder boron for asking more questions. "That fruit you ate earlier is called meridian cleansing fruit, it''s a rare natural treasure I found beforeing to here today. Now with the help of this fruit your body is free of impurities ", before Ajax asked any questions elder boron exined after seeing Ajax running towards him. " then that ckyer that is formed in, my body is the impurities inside my meridian? ok, but elder my spirit consciousness became somewhatrger and Some life elemental essence of nature is stored in it, Is this also because of that fruit".Ajax asked another question. "Your spirit consciousness stored life elemental essence of nature???, its good ",Elder boron felt happy as he thought ''Although it''s rare to umte essence of nature from that meridian cleansing fruit but it''s not impossible. I think finally it''s time for me to leave this ce. '' " yes, now it''s time to leave. Remember not to tell anything about summoning to anyone it may loss your life, if it is heard by ''others''",elder boron said with a serious look. "By the way, I have an important work to do, so I will not apany you with your meditation, But I will give you some spirit stones of various elements.Be careful while I am gone, don''t let anyone see the spirit stones ", elder turned around after he giving him a small bag. Spirit stones are the stones that have highly concentrated essence of nature of specific element and are used for meditation. Ajax already learned about these spirit stones recently from elder boron, so he didn''t ask any questions. Ajax didn''t asked anything about the work also but he doubted it might take a long time before he sees elder boron again. Without knowing, Ajax''s eyes turned red because not only elder boron took care of him from past six years but also trained him. He is like a family to him. "Also you don''t need to train your body heavily for the next five years, just train normally. Untill you be summoner you need to only focus on meditation and try to obsorb all the spirit stones I gave to you earlier", elder Boron said when they are running towards the open ground. "ok elder, I remembered every thing you said and thank you for taking care of me, but why?? ", Ajax asked with crestfallen expression. " You will know when it''s time",elder boron replied. Chapter 10: Ancestor

10 Ancestor

After 4 years, Ajax is now 14 years old. He sat Cross legged in a cave which he built himself after elder boron left him. In his hand, he was holding a dim lighted red coloured spirit stone. He didn''t dare to go to the old cave fearing terrifying beasts So He built this new cave at the very edge of the cursed wilderness. Within few minutes, that spirit stone in his hands crumbled into dust. "Tsk, there goes thatst spirit stone", sighed Ajax as he stood up from the ground. During past four years, he is continuously meditated and practiced his 18 body postures given to him by the elder boron. But the result is also huge. First, his body force reached a terrifying 1570 jin. second, his spirit consciousness increased by a lot. Third and important thing is his spirit consciousness now holds fire, water,nd, air and life elements of essence of nature equally. " It''s been four years since elder boron left but still he didn''t return, I hope he is safe", thinking about elder boron made him worried. "Tomorrow is the day of recruitment for senior brother Jason, I think he will have no problem in passing the recruitment for military", Ajax thought to himself while closing the cave entrance with a rock. With the help of postures given to Jason, Damon and Hector they already cross the 1000 jin mark and reached 1370 jin, 1240 jin and 1280 jin respectively. Thinking of his friends and their actions and jokes, he felt happy and warm inside his heart. Soon he reached the orphanage. "Hey Ajax, you are bing more and more mysterious day by day??? ", asked Damon who is now taller than Ajax. " It''s nothing, just catching small animals. Here I also brought some for you", as he said he gave them a roasted chicken to everyone. He made them believe that because elder boron said no to divulge anything about meditation to others. "Senior brother Jason, why is your face glowing?? is it about tomorrow''s Event?? ", Seeing Jason''s excited face Ajax asked him. "My body force already reached 1370 jin, it''s not a difficult thing for me to pass the test and join the military tomorrow",Jason replied confidently. ... At another ce somewhere far from Vr city In a dark room, a gloomy old man who sat cross-lessed with his eyes closed opened his eyes suddenly and shouted "Finally I found him...! ". " Ancestor, what did you find? ", a middle aged man soon entered the dark room from the outside and asked with a respectful tone. " Thest remaining root of that family whom we destroyed 13 years ago", The old man called ancestor said with a chuckle which made the middle aged man shiver. "But ancestor you look don''t have much essence of nature inside you and your energy ispletely depleted", middle aged man said worriedly. " Although, I used my ancient divining technique, it''s worth it if we manage to get that item from thatst survivor", ancient said and continued, "Kill all the children from this city by tonight and bring that item from his body. Its best to use only our branch which is rtively close to that city.Finish cleanly and don''t let anyone live who sees you". " But killing all children we definitely arouse suspicions and if they managed to rte it to us we will be in deep trouble", exined middle aged man to the ancestor with the frown. "Currently we don''t know who the child is and Only after killing that child, that ''item'' materialize from his body. So just kill all the children and bring me that item. Then we will see who dares to find trouble with me", Said the ancestor in a cruel tone. Chapter 11: Massacre

11 Massacre

"Just kill all the children and bring me that item. Then we will see who dares to find trouble with me", Said the ancestor in a cruel tone. ... Unbeknownst of everything that is going to happen in the Vr city, Ajax and his friends went to sleep. In the middle of the night Ajax woke up suddenly because he had a bad premonition in his heart but he didn''t know what it is. So he came out to breath some fresh air. "who are they..? and their killing intent is very strong", as soon as he came outside he saw some silhouette running towards the orphanage with full of killing intent. He know there are not here for talk so he woke up his friends " Everyone wake up, danger, danger. ", shouted Ajax in his room. " what?? ", although all his roommates are in deep sleep they still woke up with the shout and asked at the same time. " There is no time to exin, quickly alert all", as soon as he finished speaking Ajax went to other rooms. Looking each other faces, Ajax''s friends also went to wake up all. " It''s same as the information we got, no powerful fighter resides here.. I think we canplete this mission sooner", one assassin said to other assassin. Although many great fighters emerged from this silver orphanage, it is only manages by one old man who looks the expenses of the orphanage, one middle aged man who instructs children in their exercises and some old men and women who do daily chores. So it is rtively easy to wipe out. Before they finished waking up all children, that running silhouettes entered the orphanage. "ah..!, how they know, we are attacking them", one masked assassin asked another. " who cares, they will die anyway", said another assassin who just cut the throat of the middle aged instructor. All children shocked, when they saw their instructor die and began to run in various direction. Ajax along with his friends also went in to the direction of cursed Wilderness. "What a pain..!, split andplete the mission quickly, and collect the item as soon as it materialized. Now go", the assassin in red who looked like a leader ordered his subordinates. " Yes sir", soon all assassins spread in various directions and started ughtering the children without any mercy. "Please don''t kill me", " I will do as you say ", "Have mercy", "why are you killing us", Sounds of begging can be heard from the area around the silver orphanage. Ajax and his friends felt angry, powerless and helpless. " why are they killing us??", shouted Hector angrily "Don''t know but our first priority now is to escape this and survive", said Ajax with a helpless expression on his face. " survive??, You have a great ambition there kid but you will die here", a deep voice came from behind. Ajax and his friends know that an assassin is caught of with them. "you guys escape, I will stall some time for you guys quick", Ajax said to his friends. " but... ", before they ask anything Ajax said with a determined look" Go, Survive and don''t make my life sacrifice in vain". Seeing the determination on his face, they know he will not listen to them, so they continued running deep into the cursed wilderness. "I am impressed ,kid, but sadly they will die without me killing them anyone in the ws of beast",assassin said to Ajax. " I know, but there is a small chance of living if they escape in to the cursed wilderness that staying here", saying this he stood in a fight stance. "well well well, now you wants to fight me??", assassin criticized Ajax fight stance. After saying he rushed towards Ajax to kill him in a single strike.But Ajax dodged the killing strike and stepped on the assassin and ran towards an abyss. Cursed Abyss has various names like , gulf, or chasm which has a bottomless or unfathomed depth. No one knows what is it like at the bottom of this cursed abyss and what monster resides there. But it is full of death energy, Whoever enters it will corroded with that energy. He went towards that abyss because he didn''t want to allow the assassin to follow his friends, so he took this direction. He just wanted to waste as much as time for this assassin, so his friends can escape. Assassin was angered when Ajax stepped on him earliee, so he followed Ajax with rage. Just when Ajax was about to reach the cursed abyss, He was sted away by the assassin''s kick. Chapter 12: King Stephen

12 King Stephen

Just when Ajax was about to reach the cursed abyss, He was sted away by the assassin''s kick. Although his body is strong but it isn''t strong enough to defend the kick of the assassin. But still Ajax stood up coughing blood. ''huh, I used all my strength in the kick earlier which is about 1600 jin but still he managed to stand up. Although my greatest strength is in techniques but still that kick is enough to kill him. what''s with him'', that assassin thought silently. With a smirk, Ajax asked, "why are you killing us". Seeing the smirk on his face the assassin felt irritated and came forward to kill Ajax. Ajax dodged his strike again and caught the assassin body and jumped in to the cursed abyss. " You little monster, what are you doing. Have you gone ma... d?, horror is clearly shown on his face when they were falling in to the cursed abyss. Soon the death energy present around them is premeated into their bodies and started corroding them. What puzzled ajax is, that his body is corroding slowly while the assassin''s body is already corroded except a small bag which is falling along with him. "Whatever, now I am going to die anyway but lest my friends may survive.", Ajax sighed as he was falling. Ajax knew he will fall to death from this height before corroding. Soon the corrosion increased as the pain which is less until now is also increased which made him unconscious. But when he was about to hit the ground a shining multi coloured cube came out of his body and covered his entire body which made his body float and ced on the ground slowly. ..... Next day In the Royal Pce of Draton Kingdom Zrochester provide is ruled by the draton family. The present king Stephen draton is 40 years old and well built.He has a golden coloured hair and majestic look.He sat on the throne in the Royal Pce. Beside him stood an old man whose face is full of wrinkles. Before them,mander Reid stood with a scroll in his hand. "Your majesty, the Vr city which is the home for many great fighters has be massacred yesterday night, Although some survived, they didn''t know who killed them, but the most important thing is No children above 12 years are survived", a middle aged Commander Reid whose face is covered in sweat reported thetest news to the King. "What???, who dared to do such a cruel thing in my kindgom?? ",King Stephen shouted at that middle aged man. " Your majesty, our intelligence department is making their full efforts but the mastermind behind the massacre was very careful and didn''t left any clues, so it''s very difficult to find them", middle aged man replied in a respectful tone. "Old minister, Who do you think will do this kind of terrible thing", King Stephen asked the old man whose face is full of wrinkles. " Your majesty, I think only people from that ce can do this kind of thing. Unless we find something that rtes them with this act, no one can do anything to them", the old man with wrinkles replied with some fear in his face. "So, we can''t do anything to them even if they killed an entire city?? ", with an angry expression in his face, King Stephen punched the air which forced themander Reid 3 steps back. with a sigh king Stephen calmed himself and orderedmander Reid, " if this is really done by them, we can''t do anything. Do what you need to do. Leave now". When he was leaving mander Reid saw king Stephen sigh continuously by himself. Chapter 13: System??

13 System??

At the bottom of the cursed abyss, After 10 or so hours, Ajax finally opened his eyes slowly. His body is so weak that he was unable to move. His entire body is covered in blood. Not only that but he felt a terrible pain when he tried moving his body. Not knowing what to do, Ajax remained motionless. "What a miracle, My body is still intact even after such a fall", Ajax sighed. ''Ding, due to host''s severe condition, initiating the trial in advance", Amidst his sighing, he heard a cold voice in his head. " Who?? ", Ajax checked his surroundings with his eyes but didn''t find anyone. ''Ding, checking host''s stats Name :- Ajax race :- human Body force :- 1600 jin Essence of nature :-1000 units Soon a holographic screen appeared infront of him disying his name, race, body force and essence of nature. Suppressing his shock, he wonder what 1000 units and focused on essence of nature section ''(fire-100, water- 100,air-100,nd-100, life-200, death-400)''. Soon essence of nature of various elements are shown separately on the holographic screen. Adding all of them is 1000 units. Ajax assumed units as some type of measure for essence of nature. "fire, water, air andnd are equal but why life and death energies are higher than others??", after thinking for few seconds he assumed may be meridian cleansing fruit which I ate four years ago was the reason for the increase in life energy but couldn''t find why the death energy is very high. ''Ding, due to high death energy in the host''s body, the trial is rted to that''. With that the scenery before him began to blur and changed in to a vast desert. ''Ding, healing all wounds on host''s body as per the trial rules'', he heard the cold voice in his head. "My wounds are recovering.... ", His wounds are recovering at an incredible speed. Within few seconds, he is fully healed and his body is full of energy. Only then, he caught the full of his surroundings around him. It''s a vast desert looked devoid of life and full of death energy which made his hair stand. But the strange thing is, that the death energy around him is not corroding his body anymore. Before he can understand what is happening around him fully, he heard the usual cold voice, ''Ding, Host must finish three tasks in 12 hours toplete the trial ,otherwise it is considered a failure'' ''Ding, failure results instant death, so pleaseplete the task within the specific time'', Ajax heard back to back sounds in his head. "You must be joking right now, what do you mean by instant death", Ajax asked in a silly tone. ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. '', Same previous holographic screen appeared infront of his but instead of stats now it disyed the tasks of the trial. "Where can I find so may spirit stone contains death energy" "Where are the Elemental spirits" "From whom should I save them" "Who is that undead elite soldier and how should I kill him" "Atleast give me some weapons" "You cold blooded system, say something", Ajax asked a bunch of random question but he didn''t heard the usual cold voice in his head. He named the voice in his head as the ''System''. So he shouted and called it as a cold blooded system. Ajax shouted crazily for some time then calmed himself. ''Now is not the time for shouting, I think, I should devise a n toplete the tasks otherwise I will die for sure'', with that he sat cross legged and began devising his n. At first Ajax thought this was all a dream but when he pinched himself he felt pain, so he assumed it is not a dream instead it''s reality. ''I think it''s easier to collect spirit stones but 100 is a difficult number, but whenpared to Task 2 and Task 3 , Task 1 is rtively easy'', after pondering for some time he headed in the direction in which he sensed the concentration of death energy is more. Chapter 14: Collecting Spirit stones

14 Collecting Spirit stones

''I think it''s easier to collect spirit stones but 100 is a difficult number, but whenpared to Task 2 and Task 3 , Task 1 is rtively easy'', after pondering for some time he headed in the direction in which he sensed the concentration of death energy is more. After travelling some distance, Ajax found a shining ck stone covered in the sand. Without a doubt, he knows that is the spirit stone containing death energy. "Finally, I found a spirit stone containing death energy", heaving a sigh he took that spirit stone from the ground and observed it. When he was observing the spirit stone in his hand, it disappeared. " What? ", Ajax puzzled as , "where did it go". ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (1/100) Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (0/3) Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (0/1) Remaining time :- 9 hours 52 minutes. Soon enough he saw the holographic screen with the tasks along with progress are shown on it. "Task 1 progress is showing as 1/100 that means, Cold blooded system collected from hand", Ajax thought to himself when he saw the progress under task 1. " As long as it is counted as progress it''s enough for me", With that said, he slightly changed his direction and continued travelling. Along the way he found one or two spirit stones containing death energy when he collected. Then he tried to check his progress ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (23/100) Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (0/3) Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (0/1) Remaining time :- 9 hours 32 minutes. As soon as he thought of his progress, the holographic screen showing his progress has appeared infront of his eyes. Soon he checked the progress under task 1 and the remaining time. "In just 20 minutes he collected 22 spirit stones containing death energy. That means within 2 hours I canplete task 1", Ajax face beamed with joy. " But what about task 2 and task 3....?? ", But when he thought about task 2 and task 3 he joy turned into worry. " Whatever I should try my best toplete the trial and leave from here", Soon, worry turned into determination and continued his collecting spirit stones task. "Here''s one spirit stone", " There goes another one ", " Covered in sand ", " Collect it hand", . .... .... ... ..... With a non-sense humming, he collected the spirit stones. But soon he discovered one problem. ''''Spirit stone are bing less and less in this way but the concentration of death energy is still more'''', Withinst 10 minutes he only found two spirit stones which made him puzzled. He wanted to see how many spirit stones, he collected So he said ''progress'' in his mind. Soon a holographic screen with tasks on it appeared infront of him. ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (47/100) Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (0/3) Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (0/1) Remaining time :- 8 hours 48 minutes. ''''Still i need 53 spirit stones more toplete task 1,but now I am finding less and less spirit stones. If it''s continued like this, it''s impossible for me toplete the trial", he felt like he will go crazy with this tasks. But still he continued travelling in the direction he felts more death energy. As he continued, after sometime, instead of spirit stones he found a cave which is gaurded by two Skeletons. Skeletons height is only 2 meters and they are equipped with an armour and a spear. Seeing those skeletons, a shiver ran down on his neck with fear. But suppressing the fear he began to think carefully. "If the cave is gaurded by those skeletons, then something valuable must be inside", Ajax thought this quickly. " But the problem is, are there any more of those skeletons inside the cave??, Ajax thought all possible options. After pondering for sometime,Finally Ajax made a decision. Chapter 15: Undead servan

15 Undead servan

'' I think, I should take a gamble, even if it doesn''t go well I will die anyway when the timer runs out'', ''From the way I look at them, they both seem kind of weak, I think I can take care of them easily but it''s better to be careful'', with these thoughts, he threw a normal stone towards the skeletons guarding the cave and hid behind a boulder. The Skeletons became alert. They looked at the stone and then each other faces. With a nod, one skeleton ran towards the direction from which the stone came. As soon as the skeleton which is only two meters in height came near the boulder, with full body force his fistnded on its neck portion where only one single bone is connecting it''s head with remaining body. It''s head rolled on the sand and soon the skeleton remains started disappearing leaving behind an armour, a spear and five spirit stones. ''Ding, Killed one undead servant Experience gained :- Zero Note:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial can''t give any experience. As usual a holographic screen appeared with some words. "So, this thing is called undead servant, then what level is that elite undead solider will be?? whatever I will know when I met one, right? ", Ajax gazed soonnded on the items left behind by the skeleton. " Although this spear looks ulgy, it''s better to have something to attack", Ajax took the spear into his hand and thrusted it. ''It''s not bad'', Ajax silently said to himself. The spear is only 1 meter, so he felt awkward to call it spear when it is in his hands. He left the Amour on the ground only because it didn''t fit him. But he took the spirit stone which contain death energy in them. As usual, they soon disappeared from his hand and the holographic screen showing his progress is appeared infront of his eyes. ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (52/100) Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (0/3) Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (0/1) Remaining time :- 8 hours 31 minutes. ''"More 48 to go", Ajax excited. Seeing that it''spanion still didn''t return, it is also went into the same direction the stone came from. But it always on it''s gaurd. Ajax tried to attack it the same way he did with the previous skeleton but who thought this new skeleton can dodged his fist. Soon the skeleton stood in the fight stance and looked at him. Without waiting for it''s attack Ajax rushed towards the skeleton with spear in his hand and his full body force. Skeleton stood at it''s ce steadily and thrusted it''s spear at Ajax. Seeing that Ajax stopped in his tracks and took two steps back. Then he threw the spear in his hands at the skeleton with his full force which knocked the skeleton down, before it can stood Ajax punched its skull until it''s broke. ''Ding, Killed one undead servant Experience gained :- Zero Note:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial can''t give any experience. soon he got the notification from the system. As usual the skeleton started disappearing leaving behind the same items the previous skeleton left. This time he only took spirit stones. But the good thing is, he got seven spirit stones Instead of five. Soon he took the spear he threw earlier and went towards the cave. ''Ho God in the heaven, please bless me good luck'', Ajax prayed in his heart and entered the cave. The cave entrance looked like a tunnel which is 100 meters long. He moved without many any noise. As soon as he reached the end of the tunnel, he was shocked. Chapter 16: Undead mage :-Sigmis

16 Undead mage :-Sigmis

As soon as he reached the end of the tunnel, he was shocked to see three elemental spirits which are imprisoned with some energy barrier. The three elemental spirits are in three different colours namely green,ck and red. The green coloured elemental spirit looked like an angel which has four slim wings of dripping light hang like a mantle around the angel. It''s slender body moves with a holy grace and is d in hanging, white cloth. It is holding a string of green coloured beads, overall it has an aura of magic and mystery around it. But the ck coloured elemental spirit is quite the opposite of green coloured elemental. It has two horns on it''s head with barely visible nose andrge mouth. It''s surrounded by an eerie and gloomy aura.Just by looking at it one can feel goosebumps. Finally, the red coloured elemental spirit looked like burly man surrounded with mes around it''s transparent body. With a crown on it''s head a sharp sword in his hands. Overall it has a majestic aura around it. But themon expression on the three elemental spirits is ''Worry''. Before them, a ck robed skeleton sat cross-legged and making some hand gestures. ''So, these are the elemental spirits I have to save. I think he is the elite undead solider but why he doesn''t have any gaurds around him to protect him when he is in meditation'', Ajax wondered why there is no one protecting him''. Ajax finally found the elemental spirits he had to save. Ajax silently sneaked behind the ck robed skeleton who is busy in making hand signs. But before he got near him his spear fell down on the ground making some noise. Ajax stopped for a second. Seeing that the ck Robed man didn''t noticed him, he slowly took the fallen spear into his hands and thrusted it with full force which only made a small dent in the ck robe but didn''t do any damage to the skeleton. Ajax was shocked when his sneak attack failed. But seeing the ck robed skeleton didn''t woke up from his meditation, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''what a strong robe'', saying this Ajax continued to thrust at the skeleton but didn''t managed tond a death blow. ''''Who dares to sneak attack me?'''', after some unknown time the ck robed skeleton woke up from his meditation and shouted with his eerie voice. Shocked, Ajax didn''t know want to do so he turned around to flee away from the cave. "After attacking me you want to escape, stop dreaming you pest", The same eerie voice sounded from behind. But without looking back he continued moving towards the tunnel. Before he can reach the tunnel, smoke arised from the ground and formed two skeletons. without stopping he threw his spear at one of the skeleton and punched other skeleton. Both the skeletons got destroyed but the spear he threw is broken and he the hand he just used to punch is also swollen. "They look stronger than the skeletons I killed outside previously", Ajax silently thought in his mind ''Ding, Killed two undead soldiers Experience gained :- Zero Note:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial will not give any experience. Seeing the holographic screen, Ajax understood that they are called undead soliders which are stronger than the undead servants he killed outside the cave. Within a few seconds the ck robed skeleton caught up to him and casted a fireball spell at him. Before Ajax tried to dodge the fireballing at him, the fireball sted him awayaway. Ajax slowly stood up gritting his teeth and red at the ck robed skeleton. "Whoa, a human brat you didn''t even entered the basic level 1 soldier realm withstood my fireball, You got an inhuman strength for your age boy", the ck robed skeleton said with a shocked expression on his face. ''what is he talking?? Soldier realm?? level 1??? what is it?? Although Ajax has a lot of questions he continued to re at the skeleton. "You can consider lucky to die in my, the great undead mage Sigmis hand brat. Now die", with that he condensed another fireball with which is more powerful that the earlier fireball infront of him. Chapter 17: Artifacts

17 Artifacts

But something unexpected happened before the ck robed skeleton can finish it''s ultimate fireball . A small dark red coloured fireball hit the skeleton exactly where Ajax previously made a dent on it''s back. With that ck robed skeleton was sted towards the Ajax with it''s face (AKA skull) buried in the ground. Before the ck robed skeleton can stand up, without wasting any time Ajaxnded a heavy punch with his other hand which is not swollen, in the dent which isrger than before. Small red coloured fireball which came from the red coloured elemental spirit did a lot of damage to the ck robed skeleton. Now, when Ajax used his heavy punch, then the skeleton''s bones are shattered. ''Ding, Killed one elite undead soldier (Mage) Experience gained :- Zero Note:- As per the trial rules, any monsters killed in the trial will not give any experience. ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (52/100) , iplete Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (0/3) , iplete Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (1/1) , Completed Remaining time :- 8 hours 01 minutes. When he saw the remaining time, ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Because hepleted the task 3 and canplete the task 2 soon. As for the task 1 he can search for the spirit stone containing death energy slowly. Soon the shattered elite undead soldier disappeared leaving behind some items. Instead of taking them, he went to where the three elemental spirits are imprisoned. Seeing Ajax walking towards them, the red coloured elemental spirit and others bowed and said "Thanks for saying us human". " No, no, no., you are the one who saved me with that small dark red fireball", Ajax knew if it isn''t for that small fireball, he would have died by now. So he said that modestly. "No human, you the reason for the energy barrier to weaken, so that I can send that small fireball at the skeleton", replied politely. " What??, but I didn''t do anything to that energy barrier", Ajax replied puzzled. "This energy barrier which imprisoned us is needed the stability, which is maintained by that ck robed skeleton hand gestures. But when you distracted him, the stability of this energy barrier is gone. Therefore you saved us by distracting him, For that we are very grateful to you, human", replied the female green coloured elemental spirit politely. "oh.", understanding that words from the green elemental spirit, Ajax nodded his head not knowing what to, then he asked, "But the energy barrier is still there imprisoning you???? should I do anything to remove it??, Ajax asked regarding the energy barrier. " You don''t need to do anything regarding the energy barrier, since the ck robed skeleton died, then this will disappear in a few minutes ", answered the ck coloured elemental being. " Ok then, I will rest here untill the energy barrier is disappeared", Saying that, he turned towards the items left behind by the ck robed skeleton. Because he didn''t get any notification saying him that hepleted the task 2, he have to wait untill the energy barrier disappeared and check his progress with task 2. All three elemental spirits just nodded their transparent heads in reply. Soon Ajax came to the items left behind by the ck robed skeleton. First he picked the ck robe from the ground. ''Ding, item name :- Sigmis ck robe grade :- Low level defensive artifact Damaged Rating :- useless Soon he got the information rting the ck robe on the holographic screen. "What???,system can help me in identifying the item also??? " "This ck robe is the artifaft that elder boron mentioned in his stories??", Ajax got shock after shock, " so that means artifacts are real and the stories are also real then. But it''s damaged making it''s rating useless". Ajax simply threw it aside since it''s useless to him anyways. Next he picked the ck coloured rhombus shaped pendant. As Usual the holographic screen appeared infront of him with the pendent''s information which made him shocked. Chapter 18: Completing the Trial

18 Completing the Trial

As Usual the holographic screen appeared infront of him with the pendent''s information which made him shocked. ''Ding, Item name :- Sigmis ck pendant Grade :- low grade artifact (Evolvable) Effect :- 20% increase in user''s defence Special Skill :- Summon of dead (level 2) rating :- Not bad Description :- It is the final product of sigmis, many years of hardwork and research. "Wow, This artifact helps in boosting my stats. But what is this skill???, Ajax wondered what is the use of this skill, so he concentrated on it for more information. To his surprise his really showed the information Special skill :- Summon of dead (level 2) Description :- Helps the user to summon 2 undead soldiers. (Upgradable). Number of Summons avable :- 2. "whoa, that skeletons I killed when I am running towards the exit are the summon of this pendant, it''s cool..! ", Ajax overjoyed with this pendant. Amidst his joy, the energy barrier imprisoning the elemental spirits disappeared and the three elemental spirits came towards him. ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (52/100) , iplete Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (3/3) ,plete Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (1/1) , Completed Remaining time :- 7 hours 57 minutes. As soon as they got released, a voice is heard from the small altar inside the cave, "Who dares toy hands on my servants and release my ves". That voice is slow but very powerful. Just by the voice anyone can guess that it''s a very powerful being. " Human, can you please form a contract with me",the red coloured elemental spirit bowed as he continued,"before that beinges here". seeing the red coloured elemental spirit, the remaining ck and green coloured elemental spirits soon followed the same and requested for the contract. "What?? ", Ajax shocked to see the elemental spirits bowing him to form the contract. " Please human, there is no time for us, will you ept us as your servants", Seeing the shocked Ajax they request again. "ok", seeing their pained expressions, he know something is not right, so he epted quickly. As soon as he said that, the three elemental spirits turned into red, green and ck colours respectively and entered his spirit consciousness. Before he check his spirit consciousness a portal appeared just before the altar. From the portal, an eerie figure fully covered in ck smoke slowly came out. ''I need to get out of here soon'', with that he turned around to the exit only to see that the exit is covered with ck smoke. "You can''t escape now, human brat", said that figure in the ck smoke ''Is it over for me??? '', with that thought, he lost all his hope to escape. But in his hopeless situation his eyesid on the small pile of spirit stones. Soon he ran towards them and began collecting them. "What will you do with them when your about to die??Hahahaha ", seeing that, Ajax is collecting the spirit stones, that figure in ck smoke made fun of him and startedughing. But what it doesn''t know is Ajax just nowpleted his task 1 with that pile of spirit stones. ''Ding, Collected 50 spirit stones ''Ding, Task 1:-Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. Progress (102/100) , iplete Task 2:-Save three elemental spirits. Progress (3/3) , iplete Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. Progress (1/1) , Completed Remaining time :- 7 hours 54 minutes. ''Ding, Congrattions for host topleting the given tasks before the time. Trialpletion rating :- S ''Ding, Reward is being calcted. Please wait for some time for it. ''Ding, transporting the host from the trial world to real world. Ajax got many notifications notifying him of thepletion of tasks and giving a rating for that trial and about rewand. But the final notification is the only thing which made him more happier than other notifications. Soon, Ajax started to disappear. "What??, How can he disappear like that? ? What king of magic trick is it??? ", the figure in ck smoke shocked to see that the disappearing Ajax waving at him with a smile on his face. Chapter 19: Rewards

Soon Ajax found himself back at the bottom of cursed abyss which is full of death energy. "Phew, that was the close one", When he was returned to the cursed wilderness in one piece, he heaved a sigh of relief. But to his surprise, this death energy is not corroding his body anymore. "May because I have death essence of energy in my spirit consciousness, this death energy is not harming me, instead, its helping my body to be strong and tough", Ajax guessed right. If he stays in this cursed abyss long enough his body can be stronger, albeit it will take many years for that. ''Ding, Congrattions to host forpleting the trial with in five hours. ''Ding, Changing the original ''S'' rating to ''SSS''. ''Ding, Host is being reward with highest possible rewards due to his ''SSS'' trial rating, please with a second. ''Ding, Main reward for the trial :- Making the temporary system permanent. Now, user can use various features of the system. So, please activate the system guide to know more. Soon, Ajax got the system notification in his head along with the holographic screen infront of him, notifying him about the increased rating in clearing the trial and the reward. "what???, now will the system permanently stay in my head??, although Ajax looked disappointed but he was happy with it. He was disappointed because he thought that he already have a system but now the notification said,it is now turned permanent. But the notifications didn''t stop, they flooded one after another continuously. ''Ding, Additional rewards for the tasks:- Task 1:- Collect 100 death energy spirit stones. pleted Reward:- Medium grade spirit jade. Task 2:- Save three elemental spirits. pleted Reward:- Egg of a high grade beast. Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier. pleted Reward:- Medium grade upgrade stone. Note:- All material rewards will be sent to the inventory. "Ajax only know that the egg of a high grade beast is very valuable but he didn''t know anything about ''Medium grade spirit jade'' and ''Medium grade upgrade stone''. Before checking the task rewards he wanted to get familiar with the system features. With that thought he said ''System guide'', in his mind silently. ''Ding, System guide is activated. All the information regarding the system is directly injected in the host''s mind. Just after Ajax heard this notification, he felt his mind is flooded with information and he is unable to breath with made him gasp for air. "Phew", Soon he was able to breath properly which made him relief. " ho, so the system has various features such as User interface, inventory, Exchange tform, Library etc .... ", soon realization appear on his face. "But only user interface and inventory are unlocked for me. As for other features they are still in gray colour with a locked symbol on them", Ajax know what these user interface and inventory does. " User interface feature helps to look at my stats, whereas inventory helps me store things in it", Soon he checked his user interface feature first. ''Ding, Name :- Ajax race :- human Body force :- 1600 jin(+320 jin) Essence of nature :-1000 units Body cultivation :- Not started yet Note:- Based on the body force of user, he has the strength of level 2 soldier. Spirit cultivation :- Not started yet Note:- Based on the essence of nature stored in user''s body, he has the strength of level 5 spirit soldier.

(Upgradable). Number of Summons avable :- 2. rating :- Not bad Description :- It is the final product of sigmis, many years of hardwork and research. The holograhic screen infront of him disyed all the details of him and the items. But he got puzzled about body cultivation and spirit cultivation. Even system didn''t say anything about them so he left that topic for future and changed to next feature as his said ''Inventory'', in his mind. Soon 25 equal squares in which some are filled with items and some are empty are appeared in the holograhic screen. Chapter 20: Upgrade

20 Upgrade

Inventory has total 25 squares of which only five are filled and remaining 20 are empty. In the first square, Ajax saw the familiar ck spirit stone icon with x2 on it. In the second square, he saw the pendant which he obtained from killed the ck robed skeleton in the cave. A Shining green coloured stone upied the 3 square, with a thought it came into his hand. Soon another holograhic screen above the previous one with the information exining about the stone appeared with a notification ''Ding'' sound. ''Ding, item name :- Medium grade spirit jade Usage :- Helps in increasing the spirit consciousness of user by 100 km in area. Used :- Through Meditation rating :- Good "What??", when he saw the usage for this medium grade spirit jade, Ajax''s lower jaw dropped with shock. " It''s a treasure for me", Ajax checked the information about it correctly and shouted. Because he knows that bigger the spirit consciousness is, longer the summoned elemental spirit can fight along side the summoner. Thus it is a treasured item for summoners. After feeling happy for sometime, he kept the spirit jade in the inventory and proceeded with next item which is the egg of a high grade spirit beasts. ''Ding, item name :- Egg of a high grade spirit beast description :- it is an egg of an unknown spirit beast found in the depths of the Cursed forest. rating :- disaster "Disaster??? ", Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the rating ''Disaster''. Because he knows what it means, where ever it goes it''s wrecks the havoc. " I think, it''s better to break this egg instead of hatching it", But he didn''t have the heart to break it. "I will try to control it and don''t make it kill unreasonably", thinking he can control it since it will be only a baby spirit beast after hatching. Although he still didn''t believe he can control it but with the help of this system he thought he can control it. After keeping the fist sized egg back in to the inventory, he gazed finallynded on thest upied square in the inventory which is a medium grade upgrade stone. ''Ding, item name :- Medium grade upgrade stone Usage :- it can be used to upgrade any low grade artifact to the medium grade artifact. special effect :- There is a 30 percent chance of obtaining a special effect while upgrading. rating :- Good Ajax stared at the holographic screen with out blinking his eyes. After a while "Looks likedy luck is smiling on me today", Ajax startedughing after he said it. " With this medium grade upgrade stone, I can upgrade the sigmis ck pendant from low grade to medium grade, I wonder what how much it''s stats will be increased", Ajax floated in his thought regarding the Sigmis ck pendent. That pendant already has 20 percent increase body defense and the ''summon of the dead'' skill, if he upgraded it to the medium grade artifact who knows what kind of changes it goes through. Without any dy Ajax took out the sigmis ck pendant from the inventory to upgrade it to medium grade. He holded the upgrade stone in one hand and the sigmis ck pendant in the other. But he didn''t know how to upgrade it. To his help, soon a notification came ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade the item sigmis ck pendant from low grade artifact to medium grade artifact??? "Yes, upgrade it", as he was waiting for this notification he epted it quickly. As soon as he epted the upgrade request, the upgrade stone and the ck pendant floated infront of him in the air. The upgrade stone melted in to liquid and covered the whole rhombus shaped ck pendant and made is somewhat bigger. After a few seconds, the upgrade ck pendant which is bigger than before fell in his hands and go a notification ''Ding, Sessfully Upgraded the low grade artifact to medium grade artifact . ''Ding, Upgrade stone''s Special effect is triggered Soon another notification came with the Infromation of the upgraded ck pendant. ''Ding, Item name :- Sigmis ck pendant Grade :- medium grade artifact (Evolvable) Effect :- xxxxxxxxx Special Skill :- xxxxxxxx rating :- xxxxxxxx Description :- xxxxxxxxxx (Author''s note:- Above ''xxxxxxxx'' means it will be revealed in the next chapter for some suspense for you guys) Chapter 21: Medium grade artifac

After using an upgrade stone , it became medium grade artifact. "Ha ha hahaa hahah", seeing the upgraded medium grade Sigmis ck pendant Ajaxughed continuously. " It''s normal effec increased from 20 percent to 40 percent, that a double increment in the effect", "Also the special effect which appeared after upgrading is a good one", " Not only the effects but also the skill within the pendant also incream from level 2 to level 5 directly. That''s total 3 levels increase", Ajax continuouslyughed with each effect increase in the ck pendant. ... In the far away ce from the cursed abyss, In a dark room, a gloomy old man who sat cross-lessed with his eyes closed opened his eyes eyes when someone entered his room. "How did it go??, Is that item found?? ", although the old man started slowly but at the end of his sentence he got agitated with his own question. " Ancestor, please calm down, that matter went as we nned but we didn''t found any item", said the middle aged man slowly. The old man is none other than ''The Ancestor'', who ordered the massacre in the vr city. "What???, you didn''t find the item there??? Ancestor shouted with an anger in his voice and a powerful aura emanated from his frail body. " Yes, ancestor., Maybe that item was not there", the middle aged man visibly suppressed by the aura released by his ancestor and his entire face was covered in sweat. "What??, are you doubting me?? My divination technique was never failed in my entire life however now you are saying that this technique is useless??" ,The ancestor''s rage increased continuously with every question. "No ancestor, this lowly one doesn''t dare to doubt you, please forgive this lowly one", Soon that middle aged man kneeled and begged for forgiveness. Seeing the kneeling middle aged man, the ancestor calmed down a little. " But there is one thing, that an silver grade assassin didn''t returned to the base after the mission. May be he took the item and escaped", soon the middle aged said this after seeing the ancestor calm down. "No, it''s impossible to betray us", said the ancestor slowly. " why?? "middle aged man asked puzzledly. " Do you why our recruitment ceremony is done only in our headquarters unlike other families and sects", asked the ancestor. "Because it will make them more easy to improve there cultivation after taking in the essence of nature from the idol which is situated in the head quarters", replied the middle aged man what he knows about the recruitment ceremony. " Correct, however what you people don''t know is, that makes the people who took the essence of nature from the idol, loyal to the my sect. That''s why, it''s impossible to betray us", The ancestor exined slowly however at the end of the sentence, he again turned angry thinking of the item. "... ", the middle aged man became speechless and a shivered with fear. ''Then I also became loyal to it because of that'', regret shed across his face. " you idiots", "Bunch of wastrel", " Fools", "Good for nothings", The ancestor continued shouting with rage. Finally coughed a mouthful of blood. " I wasted so many resources and the most important thing is I wasted more than half of the essence of nature", With a sigh, that old ancestor continued, "But i will not loose hope yet, Search the surrounding regions for any new 14-15 year old kids who appeared after our attack on the vr city, Moreover check their information regarding where they stayed previously", the ancestors soon collected himself and ordered the middle aged man who was kneeling infront of him this entire time. "Yes, ancestor", with that he quickly came out and released a huge sigh of relief. ..... Chapter 22: Weird Stone

22 Weird Stone

At the bottom of the Cursed abyss Ajax is oblivious about the entire thing that is happened in the dark room. Although he wanted to use the medium grade spirit jade to increase his spirit consciousness but refrained himself from doing it. Instead he thought, he can use it when he officially started his cultivation. ".guu guuuu", finally Ajax came out of his thoughts with hunger sounds of his stomach. It''s nearly one day for him without food, but he forget about it, with all things he went through during the day. "But the problem is, where should I find food in this damned cursed abyss", Ajax checked his surroundings only to see mist covering it. " I can''t go up by climbing this narrow mountain, so I can only find a way by moving horizontally", With that thought he moved towards one direction which least covered by mist. "This is.... ", he took only a few steps before he found a small ck bag. " Yes, this is the bag of that ck assassin who came after me", as soon as he that of that assassins, he eyes sh a cold glint. "If I ever found who did this, I will take the revenge even if it''s cost me my life", He clenched his teeth and swore. But when he think of his friends his coldness turned into worry. " I wonder how my friend are?? and how they are fairing in the cursed wilderness???", He said worriedly. Soon he took the bag into his hand and checked for the items in it. He found some meat jerky, clothes, an ordinary dagger and a weird fist sized stone with two cross silver daggers on it. Ding, item name :- Normal dagger rating :- worst as usual the system notification came with the dagger rating. But When he touched the weird fist sized stone, he didn''t got any notification. "I think this can be used to know who did the massacre", with that he stored that stone in to the inventory. He filled his stomach with the meat jerky. After eating, he suddenly thought of 3 elemental spirits he formed master-servant pact. Soon he checked his spirit consciousness. In his spirit consciousness he saw the three elemental spirits sleeping without a worry, so he didn''t feel like waking them up. He thought he can introduce himself after they wake up. Soon he moved in the direction which is least covered in mist. Due to the corroding death energy in the cursed abyss he found no spirit beasts on his way. asionally he took short breaks to eat the meat jerky and rest. While travelling, he carried the egg of the high grade spirit beast with him as he sensed that it is absorb the surrounding death energy in the cursed abyss. He travelled through the mist for three days before finding a mist free area which looked like a small forest. Soon he heard the sounds of people from far away, he kept the egg inside the inventory and became alert. Although the people who looked like hunters didn''t make much noise due to his senses being sharp, he heard them say, "boss, I found a youth who looked 15-17 years old to our South". " ok, don''t make him scare, I will handle it", said another voice. Soon hunters got a clear view of Ajax and Ajax also saw five hunters, Two middle aged man with strong figure and three of them look like 17-18 years old. "Boy, what is your name?? what are you doing here?? are you lost??", asked the strong middle aged man. " Yes, My name is Ajax", Ajax guessed this man as the boss of this small hunter team and continued, " also I don''t remember anything except for my name". "..... ", all the hunters are speechless at his words. They looked at each other and finally looked towards their boss. " Ok then,e with me for now and join my mercenary squad", the Boss said with a smile on his face. Ajax frowned at boss''s words. Although he want to find a ce to live, Ajax didn''t want to join some unknown mercenary squad because he don''t know what kind of peeple they are. Seeing the frown on Ajax''s face, the boss smilingly said, "I know what you are thinking,but Iam not forcing you to join the squad anyway. As soon as we enter the town you will know that we are not as bad as you think". The remaining hunters nodded their heads when they heard the boss''s words. Chapter 23: Hazegrove mercenary squad, Goldcrest town

23 Hazegrove mercenary squad, Goldcrest town

"I need some time to consider joining your squad", Ajax replied. " Ok, Until then if you like, you can temporarily stay with us ", Hunter''s boss also didn''t force him. After some thought, Ajax followed the hunters back to the town. "By the way, my name is Edmond Hazegrove, captain of the Hazegrove Mercenary squad which is formed recently, that''s why we arecking in numbers which is also why we are asking you to join us, if you don''t have anywhere to go", While walking Edmond introduced himself and continued introducing others, "the middle aged man and youth with long hair who are carrying with axes on their backs are Udo keenaxe and Jeff keenaxe. They are father and son. The remaining two are Paulin hawkpelt and Lewis graystream. They are sons of my old friends", Edmond finished the everyone''s introduction. "Hello,everyone", Ajax soon looked at them and remembered their names while greeting. Udo just nodded his head in response while others greeted politely. These three youths were puzzled and shocked at their captain''s invitation into the squad because it''s not easy for them to join even with their father''s rmendation. '' Maybe something in him piqued Boss''s interest'', they silently thought to themselves and greeted politely. Soon they reached the town, Goldcrest. "The town itself looks exciting. This town wasn''t built by ake by ident, as it has fertile soils, which is of great importance to the people of Goldcrest and it''s sess", as soon as they entered the town, paulin started describing about the town. "It has a blooming economy, which is mainly supported by smithing and hunting but it''s biggest strength is ''Mercenary guild", lewis exined about town''s economy but sensing the confused look on Ajax''s face he continued, " Mercenary guild is one of thergest organization in the Zrochester province which has many branches in many towns and cities.They provide living residences,missions and rewards for us mercenary squad. So many people are willing join the mercenary guild for its rewards", Lewis exined many things about mercenary guild. Ajax now understood how the mercenary guild works. It''s releases some missions,pleting them gives rewards and increase the squad ranking. "Hey, old Edmond, you are back early today", "Boss, are doing any mission today?? ", " Edmond, you have a new face in your squad, did you recruit him", When they were waking in the town, their squad was greeted with many passerbys. All passerbys had a respectful tone while greeting. Amidst their talking, they reached a White building. It has two floors and it is fully surrounded by a garden path with add beauty to the building. "This building is provided for our mercenary squad for Completing many missions without failing", Said the usual silent Udo keenaxe with a proud look in his eyes. " Ajax, take the first room on the first floor. Clean yourself and get some rest. When dinner is ready I will inform you", Edmond Hazegrove said to Ajax after they went into the building. "But boss.... ", but even before heplete the sentence he was cuts off by Edmond''s re. " You can go, Ajax ", Edmond said gently. After Ajax went in to the room, Lewis continued, " Boss, that room is off limits to everyone but why did you now allow him, who didn''t even join our squad??", Lewis asked Edmond puzzledly. "I will say", before Edmond can say anything, Udo spoke as he continued, " Because he looks somewhat identical to boss''s son who died before we established this squad". As soon as they heard of this, they didn''t ask anything,because they didn''t want to make Edmond sad. In the room "It''s feels refreshing to shower after so many day and a soft bed to sleep after spending many days in that damned cursed abyss",Ajax rxed on a soft bed as he thought to himself. " I wonder, how my friends are??? ", soon he felt worried thinking about his friends, Damon, Hector and Jason who escapes in to the cursed wilderness. " I hope they are safe", Ajaxforted himself and fell in to deep sleep. At night he was woken up by paulin and Lewis to eat dinner and talked something while eating. After eating, Ajax said to Edmond, "I will join your squad, sir". Chapter 24: Volcanis, Necros, Spirus

24 Volcanis, Necros, Spirus

"I will join your squad, sir". " oh", Edmond was shocked to hear that because he assumed it will take some time Ajax joins their squad. But to his surprise, in just half day he wanted to join their squad. Ajax also wanted to take some time before joining but when they were walking in the streets earlier, all the people greeted their squad politely which made him believe they are good to people so he made the decision to join their squad early. "Good, good, good", Edmond said ''good'' three times while nodding his head, " Tomorrow we will go to the mercenary guild together to register you as mercenary and other minor tasks, but before that I want to know, did you cultivated before?? ", at the end Edmond questioned Ajax. " No, only trained my body", Ajax only said about training but didn''t said anything about meditation. "ho, then I want to test you body force, follow me to the training room", After saying that he turned around and start moving. Soon they came to the training room. In the training room, Ajax saw various exercising equipments. Edmond took Ajax to a particr machine with a disy and a punching machine connected to it. "Hit it with all your force", said Edmond while pointing at the punching bag. Nodding his head, Ajax punched the bag, soon a number disyed on the screen. ''Ding, 1550 jin (Author''s note:- it''s from the machine not from system) His original body force is 1600 jin adding the 40 percent increase from the pendant make it''s 2240 jin which very high for any regr 15 year kid. So Ajax only used 70 percent of his total body force because he didn''t want to attract any unnecessary attention. "Good, since you have suffering body force I will give you a cultivation technique after finishing with your registration tomorrow. Now go back to you room and take rest", Edmond said after checking his body force. Anyone who has more than 1500 jin body force can cultivate techniques without may fear of straining their body, so Edmond said he will give a cultivation technique to Ajax. After entering his room, Ajax felt some movement in his spirit consciousness so he checked it. In his small spirit consciousness, three elemental spirits are finally awakened from their deep slumber. Soon he locked his door and summoned them out with a thought. Soon he saw the red, gree and ck coloured figures emerged from his spirit consciousness and stood before him. "I, Volcanis, the fire elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", "I, Spirus, the life elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", "I, Necros, the death elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", All the elemental spirits greeted him with a bow. Ajax felt awkward as it was first time for him. But soon heposed himself and said stand. He tried to check their information with system, so he got their information. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Volcanis Element :- Fire type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 2) Skill :- Fire st Skill description :- condenses a small fire ball sting the enemy away upon contact. Skill effect :- 50 percent chance to inflict burn effect to enemies. Rating :- Good Description :- Born in an extremely hot volcana. It will have a magestic aura which only have in one in a ten thousand elemental spirit. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Necro Element :- death type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 4) Skill :- Confuse ray Skill description :- Cast a ray of dark light which confuses the opponent.

Skill effect :- None Rating :- Good Description :- Born from the condensed life elemental essence of nature from the world tree. Soon he was shocked to see some amazing skills of the elemental spirits. "Fire st, confuse ray and absorb and drain, Good skills, but I can use them infront of others", Ajax thought to himself. Although he knows It''s not impossible to be a summoner but it''s pretty rare in this province due tock of essence of nature," but there can be more summoners in other provinces, untill then I will try to improve my strength along with the elemental spirit level". Ajax thought to himself. "why are the levels for this elemental spirits differ??? ", he thought " It''s because in master''s spirit consciousness there is more death energy and least fire energy so it helped me I achieve level 4 of elemental spirit soldier cultivation ",the death elemental spirit, Necros continued, " Please forgive us for absorbing the essence of nature without your permission ", with a bow all of them asked for forgiveness. " ok, then go back into my spirit consciousness and absorb the remaining energy also and increase your levels", although Ajax sensed that some essence of nature has been decreased but it''s very less and he didn''t have any use with it so he said to absorb the remaining respective elemental energy. "Thank you master", all the elemental spirit bowed to him and disappeared. After that Ajax went to sleep in his soft bed. Chapter 25: Mission board

25 Mission board

Next day Morning, Edmond and Ajax had some simple breakfast and went to the mercenary guild to register Ajax. "Woahh", seeing the mercenary guild building Ajax mouth wide opened. It is the most beautiful and biggest building, he had ever seen. It has more than 5 floors. " oh, captain Edmond, are you here for your mission submission??? ", asked the beautiful receptionist in herte twenties with a smile. Recently, Hazegrove mercenary squad took a mission, so she assumed that and asked Edmond about it. " Yes, but before that please help me register a new bronze grade mercenary for him", while point at Ajax, Edmond asked with a smile. "Sure, please fill this form first", taking a paper from the desk, she gave it to Ajax. Ajax quickly filled the form and returned it to that receptionist. " Since you have the rmendation of captain Edmond, you can directly obtain the bronze badge and no need to go through any further procedures. Please wait for some time, your badge will arrive quickly, untill then you can check the mission board", Said the beautiful receptionist with her usual smile and left with the form. Edmond also give her his spirit ring saying, "Please evaluate my missionpletion". " absolutely, sir Edmond ", taking the ring, she quickly left. In the meanwhile, they went to the mission board which is fully crowded. " Hey, isn''t it captain Edmond ", " Captain Edmond ising here to take a mission, everyone move aside", "captain Edmond do you remember me", ... ..... All mercenaries quickly gave a way for Edmond with their random shouting. "Bring 10 ck lotuses Reward :- 10,000 Spirit stones (any of Fire, water, air and earth spirit stones can be chosen by the mercenary) Danger rating:- A " Bring the mutated lightning serpent Reward :- 10,000 spirit stones ( If alive) 6,000 spirit stones ( if dead) Danger rating:- A "Need ws and teeth of high grade spirit beast heavenly crocodile Reward :- 20,000 life element Spirit stones Danger rating:- A There Ajax saw many missions with their danger rating below it. Soon he saw Edmond picked a mission from the mission board and left with Ajax to sit in the lobby. But Ajax saw the mission details clearly "Protect the Mason family''s caravan from Goldcrest to Coalfell Duration of the mission:- 10 days. Reward :- 10,000 Fire element spirit stones Danger rating :- B+ Ajax didn''t ask anything about the mission to Edmond and just looked around with curiousity. Soon the beautiful receptionist came towards them and gave Ajax a bronze colour badge which has a symbol of ''H'' on it. "This is the bronze badge for Hazegrove mercenary squad", Edmond exined about ''H'' to ajax. " Here, this is your reward for thepletion of the previous mission, sir Edmond", with smile she gave the same previous spirit ring to Edmond. Edmond just put it away without checking it and gave her the new mission paper he just took from the mission board. "Add it to the name of Hazegrove mercenary squad", Edmond said after giving it. " Yes sir", she took it and left again. After she left, Edmond and Ajax also returned to their living residence. ..... In the depths of the cursed wilderness "Are we finally going to die here??? ", said a youth with scratches all over his body. " No, we should try to escape from this beast, if we don''t Ajax''s sacrifice will be in vain", said another youth with bloody wound on his back. "But, this damned beast is ying with us for the past 1 hour", said the first youth. Besides them, there is one youth who is unconsciously lying on the ground. They are Ajax''s friends who ran in to the cursed wilderness to escape from the assassin. They survived in the cursed wilderness for five days based on their pure luck but now that luck is finally over as they became a ying toy for a beast. Soon, as though the beast lost its interest in toying with them, it jump at them in an attempt to kill them all at once. However, before it even reached them, a shadow came for the groud and made a blood hole in it, and Killed it. After killing the beast, it took the shape of a human silhouette and stared at them. Just looking at it made them shiver unconsciously. But soon they heard a familiar voice, "Hey brats, what are you doing here". Seeing the familiar figure in the far made them shocked but finally they heaved a sigh of relief. Chapter 26: Cultivation realms

26 Cultivation realms

Hazegrove mercenary squad building. In the building, all the Hazegrove mercenary squad member cheered as they got a new recruit in to their squad. "Hey brat, wee to the squad", Udo keenaxe said with a smile. " Little brother, wee to the squad", the remaining three youths shouted at Ajax. "I will be in your care then", said with a happy expression on his face. He is slowly getting over from his worry but didn''t forgot the swear he made ''I will kill the organization behind the massacre even at the cost of my life''. " Attention, all members hear clearly. Today I epted a B+ Danger rating mission which is to escort the mason family''s caravan from here to Coalfell. It takes 10 days including to return here", Seeing the Attentative look on everyone''s faces, Edmond nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, "Except Ajax, everyone leave and prepare yourselves. We are leaving tomorrow". " Ajax, you are not in this mission but I will give you another one, Take this ''Heaven and earth Elemental refining technique and practice ording to it and officially start your cultivation", Edmond said as he took out a scroll from his space ring and gave it to him. "But....? ", before Ajax say anything he pushed that scroll in to his hands and said, " If you can reach level 5 of the solider realm in the next days, I will take you toplete next mission, so focuspletely on cultivating this ''Heaven and earth elemental refining technique''". "Captain Edmond, can you exin me about cultivation and its realms? ", Ajax asked with curiosity. Although he trained and meditated daily, he didn''t know anything about this cultivation levels.So he asked Edmond about the cultivation " When one''s body force is above 1500 jin before the age of 15, they can practice techniques and be cultivator. There are two types of cultivation techniques, Main and sub. Main cultivation techniques help in absorbing the essence of nature whereas sub cultivation techniques can be you to attack, defend, support etc. The essence of nature is stored in their spirit consciousness, and only one type of element can be stored in it, which is suitable to them.This stored essence of nature helps the user to strengthen his body and improve his body force. This is called Body type cultivation system. As for the realms, Soldier, Elite soldier, Commander, elitemander, general, elite general and finally the king realm. With soldier as the basic realm and king as the top one and ever realm is sub divided in to level 1-10", Edmond said everything he knows about body cultivation system. Ajax tried to remember everything. "Also, there is an ancient cultivation system called summoning, however it''s pretty rare here in the Zrochester province", Edmond said slowly. " Is there no one in Zrochester province? ", asked Ajax. " There are, but you need to join any of the top organizations, if not you will be killed without knowing how", Edmond replied with a sigh. "Thanks captain, I will go start cultivating then", Ajax said turned hurriedly. " Take this spirit ring and check which element is mostpatible with you and try to observe that spirit stones. Also don''t forget to eat", seeing Ajax in a rush to cultivate, Edmond said quickly. "ok Captain", with that he ran off to his run. " This kid", Edmond shook his head and went to his room. In his room, Ajax quickly opened the scroll and soon he got the system notification ''Ding, Item name :- Heaven and earth elemental refining technique. Grade :- Heaven grade Use :- refines the essence of nature present between heaven and earth Description :- It''s a hazegrove family''s secret technique. rating :- Good "what???, it''s captain''s secret technique, but he gave me just like that, why?? ", Ajax wondered why. But soon he got another notifications ''Ding, Do you wish to cultivate it??? " Yes", Ajax said yes even without thinking. ''Ding, Cultivating heaven and earth elemental refining technique consumes 500 units of essence of nature, Do you wish to cultivate it??? "What??? It consumes essence of nature", Ajax was shocked. He decided to cultivate tomorrow after all members left for mission. " otherwise I can''t exin how I cultivated this quickly", with that he went to sleep in his soft bed. Chapter 27: Cultivation

27 Cultivation

In the next morning, all the Hazegrove mercenary squad members except Ajax were gone escorting the Mason family''s caravan. As soon they left the building, Ajax went to his room to start his cultivation. ''Ding, Cultivating heaven and earth elemental refining technique consumes 100 units of essence of nature, Do you wish to cultivate it??? "Yes, I will cultivate", Ajax said in his mind. '' Ding, 100 units of essence of nature is consumed Main cultivation technique is cultivated As soon he said ''yes'', some foreign information flooded into his mind as he sat cross legged and observed all the information. ''Ding, Name :- Ajax race :- human Body force :- 1600 jin(+640 jin) Essence of nature :- 520 units Main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 1) Body cultivation :- Soldier realm level 1 Note:- Based on the body force of user, he has the strength of level 7 soldier. Spirit cultivation :- Spirit soldier realm level 1 Note:- Based on the essence of nature that can be stored in user''s body, he has the strength of level 5 spirit soldier. Number of elemental spirits :- 3 Equipped items 1) Item name :- Sigmis ck pendant Grade :- medium grade artifact (Evolvable) Effect :- 40% increase in user''s defence Special effect :- 20 percent increase in attack power when fight enemies. Special skill :- Summon of dead (level 5) Description :- Helps the user to summon 5 undead soldiers. (Upgradable). Number of Summons avable :- 2/5. rating :-good Description :- It is the final product of sigmis, many years of hardwork and research, However it is upgraded to medium grade with the help of ugrade stone. Soon he check his stats in the user interface. Now it is showing his cultivation level ie., for body cultivation level, it''s level 1 soldier whereas for spirit cultivation, it''s level 1 spirit soldier. But what shocked him more is, his essence of nature is only 120 units. " If 100 units were consumed, it''s 620 units, then the remaining 380 units were, may be absorbed by the elemental spirits", Ajax felt regret because he didn''t know beforehand that the essence of nature can be used to strengthen the body and increase the body force, but there is no medicine for regret in this world. Leaving that matter, he focused on the Main cultivation technique. "Ding, Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 1) Need any 999 units of essence of nature to upgrade it to level 2 " What??, for level 2 it consumes 999 units for essence of nature Ajax didn''t have that much essence of nature anyway, so he didn''t waste much time on it. He next focused on his level ''Ding, need 100 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation. Do you want to level up?? "No", After some thought, he decided to reject it for now. After that, he tried absorbing the essence of nature using heaven and earth refining technique. Soon the various elements surrounding the Ajax rushed in to his spirit consciousness albeit the spoed is much less then when he absorbed from spirit stones. When he thought of spirit stones, he remembered the space ring given to him but Edmond and his eyes lit up with excitement. As soon his looked in to the space ring, he saw three types of spirit stones ced separately. " Fire, water and life element spirit stones,bined together, they can be over 100 easily", Ajax took out a fire spirit stone and absorbed using the cultivation technique, and soon immersed in cultivation. Within two to three hours hepletely absorbed the spirit stone and he opened his eyes. "Now, it''s much faster than absorbing the spirit stone without a cultivation technique", Ajax dilled with joy. " If level 1 is helping me this much faster, then if it''s bes level 2 or more, then How much faster it will be?? ", Ajax didn''t dare imagine it but it takes some time to upgrade it to level 2. He checked his essence of nature in his body with the help of system to know how much it is increased after absorbing a spirit stone. " Ding, Essence of nature :- 530 units. "What it increased by only 10 units??? If I want to upgrade the main cultivation technique to level 2 I should absorb nearly 50 spirit stones. Even if I absorb 10 spirit stones daily it will still take 5 days, it''s too long", Ajax sighed. If anyone heard what Ajax said just now, they will beat him to death because beginner cultivators can only store 500 units of essence of nature and it will take them many months to years, just to increase their cultivation technique to next level. Now he just want to increase the main cultivation technique to next level and then level up his body cultivation. Ajax didn''t want any time. He took another spirit stone and started cultivating. Chapter 28: Continuous Level up

28 Continuous Level up

After 5 days "phew, finallypleted absorbing 48 spirit stones which makes 1000 units when added to previous units, It''s time to upgrade the main cultivation technique to level 2", Ajax took a long sigh and said. He tried to absorb another spirit stone but he felt like his spirit consciousness will explode if he continued to absorb. During thest five days he continuously absorbed all the fire element spirit stones, except for leaving sometime for eating and cleaning though. He also ordered his contracted elemental spirits to not absorb any essence of nature in his spirit consciousness and promised to help them help up in the future. He also cleared his doubt of directly leveling up the elemental spirits is possible with system which is simr to his body cultivation but the units of essence of nature is different. "System, show me how much essence of nature us stored in my spirit consciousness", Ajax silently asked in his head. ''Ding, Essence of nature :- 1000 units " If I want to store more than 1000 units, I think I should use medium grade spirit jade but I will save it forter, I don''t have that many spirit stones anyway", Ajax thought that he don''t have use it, because his essence of nature will be consumed anyway while upgrading heaven and earth refining technique and with remaining 50 plus spirit stones, his spirit consciousness will not be full anyway. Soon Ajax viewed that main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth refining technique "Ding, Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 1) Need any 999 units of essence of nature to upgrade it to level 2 ''Ding, Do you want upgrade it to level 2?? " Yes", Ajax epted it. ''Ding, Consuming 999 units of essence of nature to upgrade main cultivation technique. ''Ding, Heaven and earth refining technique sessfully upgraded to level 2 Soon the notifications came saying that the cultivation technique is upgrade. Suppressing his joy, he took out a spirit stone and tested his cultivation speed with level 2 Heaven and earth refining technique. In just an hour, hepletely absorbed it. "Hahahha, my cultivation speed is now doubled", Ajax overjoyed with his speed. He wanted to check, whether there is level 3 for that cultivation technique. "Ding, Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 2) Need any 9999 units of essence of nature to upgrade it to level 3. ".... ", seeing the needed units of essence of nature, Ajax was speechless and didn''t even think about upgrading it any further now. " I will absorb all the remaining spirit stones and my old 2 spirit stones from the trial in the next 5 days and level up my body cultivation ", with that thought he soon resumed his cultivation. He continued his routine for another 5 days. On the 10th day from the squad members went on an escort mission. Ajax sat cross - legged with a spirit stone in his hands, which soon turned in dust and he opened his eyes. "Finally all spirit stones are finish, now it''s time to level up my body cultivation", Ajaxpleted some 60+ spirit stones in thest 5 days and filled his essence of nature in the spirit consciousness. " Essence of nature", Ajax just said a word and soon a holographic screen appeared infront of him ''Ding, Essence of nature :- 631 units Feeling satisfied he soon turned to body cultivation screen which appeared with a thought. ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-1) ''Ding, need 100 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation Do you want to level up?? "Yes", Ajax said without thinking. ''Ding, 100 units of essence of nature, consumed ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-2) need 200 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation. " Tsk, as expected, it doubled the requirement", but Ajax continued to level it up. ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-3) need 300 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation. Gritting his teeth, Ajax continued ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-4) need 400 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation. Seeing all his essence of nature is consumed leaving him with only 31 units, he bitterly shook his head. But with level 4 soldier realm cultivation, he felt, his body be much stronger and tougher than before. Soon, he heard some noise outside. "They have returned", Ajax was excited thinking that squad members have arrived. " Hey, Ajax you look much stronger than before ", When Edmond saw Ajax, he asked him. " Yes, I cultivated for the past 10 days continuously and reached level 4 of soldier realm. "Not bad, not bad", it''s not impossible to not reach level 4 with the aid of spirit stones, so he didn''t shocked. Next he asked " Which element spirit stones are morepatible with you?? ", " All three", Ajax''s reply shocked all the squad members. Chapter 29: First mission

29 First mission

" Which element spirit stones are morepatible with you?? ", " All three", Ajax''s reply shocked all the squad members. ording to them one person can only absorb one type of element which is morepatible with them. If anyone can absorb two types of elements, then they can be called as genius and when more than two elements arepatible then they are called ''Heaven''s son''. Now, one of that legendary ''Heaven''s son'' is standing infront of them. "What did you say??? Edmond asked again. "Captain Edmond, the three types of spirit stones you gave me are equallypatible as I didn''t find any difficulty in absorbing them", Ajax exin clearly this time. " Ajax, it''s better to not let anyone know about it, lest it brings harm to you, ok? ", Edmond said with a gentle expression. " Ok, I will be careful, Captain ", Ajax nodded his head in agreement. " Everyone, don''t talk about it anywhere", Edmond ordered everyone. Although he know about everyone, he reminded them anyway. " We will take two days of rest before taking another mission", Edmond said that and went to his room to rest. For the next two days everyone simply rxed and meditated. Ajax also tried meditating but It took him nearly 10 hours to gain 5 units of essence of nature, so he just practiced his body postures given to him by elder boron. Soon two days went in a sh. "Ajax, do you want toe to mercenary guild with me to pick our mission? ", " Yes", he has been waiting for this moment, so he soon agreed. At the Mercenary guild Edmond and Ajax stood before the mission board. Ajax saw no simr missions, he saw previously. "Collect a essence dew drop from the depths of cursed wilderness. Reward:- an egg of a six winged ck serpent which has a dragon blood in it. "Danger Rating :- S " Collect any spiritual fruit containing extreme cold Reward :- A heaven grade Saber, along with 10,000 spirit stones. Danger rating:- A+ " Help Draton kingdom, by clearing banditirs in the kingdom., Should submit head of that cleared banditir leader. Reward :- can enter the essence pool of the Royal Family and can cultivate for seven days. Danger Rating :- A+ Ajax saw various missions with various rewards which he didn''t know about, but Edmond only picked a ''B'' danger rating mission " Clear the Green furred wolves den Which is somewhere around Dusk town within 5 kilometers radius. Reward :- 5000 Life element spirit stones Note :- Additionally materials from the wolves can be kept for themselves. Rating :- B Soon, he gave the mission paper to the same beautiful receptionist to register it under his mercenary squad. Beautiful receptionist went away to register. Edmond said to Ajax while they are returning to their residence, "I picked this mission, keep you in mind. Although it only has a ''B'' danger rating, if you are careless you will die easily, did you Understand". " Yes, captain ", Ajax nodded his head seriously. " By the way, I forgot to ask did you finish all the spirit stones I gave you previously??? ", Edmond asked Ajax about spirit stones. " Yes", Ajax replied quickly. Shocked, but Edmond didn''t ask anything and gave him 100 fire element spirit stones. ''How did this kidpleted 100+ stones within 12 days'', Edmond silently thought to himself. "No, no., How can I take so many spirit stones without doing anything", Ajax kept saying no to Edmond. But Edmond forced the space ring in to Ajax''s hands. Finally Ajax took it with a bitter smile. ''I will sure to repay you, captain Edmond'', Ajax thought to himself. Soon everyone excited for their new mission. Next day they travelled to Dusk town which is 1 day journey from goldcrest. What was once a busy roadway that led to Dusk town was slowly turned into silent town as grass, flowers and small shrubs reimed what they can as fast as they can. The asional wolf howls can be heard from surroundings of the town. Doors were broken, rotten and in most cases barely a door at all.This was the work of wolves which attack the people even entering into their houses. Many walls and balconies had copsed. Without proper maintenance and cleaning it was easy for rot and water to do their damage. Many people already left the town, only old people who didn''t want to leave their birth ce stayed back. Seeing that,the Kingdom feared if it continued like this,this may happen to other towns, so they issued the mission to clear the wolvesir. "Udo, Lewis and Jeff, pitch the tent, as for others stay on gaurd", Edmond soon issued his orders and everyone assumed their roles as said. After pitching the tent " I will stay on gaurd for 3 hours, after that Udo and Jeff will stay on gaurd for 2 hours, Lewis and paulinst one hour for you", Edmond soon gave another set of instructions to everyone. But to their surprise no wolf attacked them. "Ajax and I will search for green furred wolves den in East and you 4 search in the north, if you find the den, don''t attack it, Send signal to us? ", Edmond soon divided them into 2 teams and went to east and North directions in the search of Wolf''s den. Chapter 30: First Kill

30 First Kill

Edmond and Ajax went to east, whereas others went North. Soon, Ajax and Edmond go themselves surrounded by many green furred wolves. "Tsk, This wolves are very cunning, they waited until we got separated and then started showing surrounding us", Edmond said with an irritated expression as he took out his sword from the space ring. Ajax also took out a sword which light in weight. Without wasting any time ,Edmond rushed like a cheetah swinging his sword at the wolves. "Woahh..", Ajax never saw anyone cutting a spirit beast like a tofu. Soon Edmond killed more than a dozen wolves without using any techniques. All wolves werepletely focused on Edmond, leaving Ajax alone. But he soon found a wolf, which looked weak whenpared to others. "I choose you",with that he hit the weak looking wolf with a rock. It enraged when someone threw a stone at it and jumped at Ajax. Ajax dodged it''s attack with a bend and punched in its abdomen which sted it more than 5 meters away with impact. it''spletely enraged and its eyes turned blood red, which gave a fright for Ajax. "It''s just a weak beast, it''s just a weak beast", Ajax repeat the sentence just to remind himself that it''s a weak wolf. Again it used the same attack but this time it''s quicker and Ajax didn''t have time to dodge. " I guess I will use my hands to catch it", Ajax also didn''t used hisplete strength earlier. Although He caught the beast it bit his shoulder. Gritting his teeth, he gave a lower abdominal kick at the same ce as previous punch, but with full force now, which made the wolf fly in the air for sometime and fell on the ground without moving. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a medium grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 10 units of essence of nature absorbed. As soon as the wolf fell on the ground, Ajax got a system notification. "ho, killing them gives me essence of nature??, it''s a good thing", Although Ajax shoulder hurt, he said with a happy face. " This is my first time fighting and killing a spirit beast, I felt like my blood is boiling when fighting it earlier ", Ajax liked the feeling of his blood boiling. He look at Edmond, who is still killing wolves easily with his sword, all the wolves just jumping at their deaths. Soon Ajax found another weak wolf and attracted it with the same technique of throwing a stone. He killed it soon using his total body force. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a medium grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 10 units of essence of nature absorbed. "If I can summon the elemental spirits and kill more wolves, I can absorb more essence of nature but it will surely shock Edmond, so he just rejected that thought. Ajax continued with his strategy and killed 10 more wolves gaining him 100 units of essence of nature. Ajax got tired with all the non stop killing, andpletely covered in wounds but when he looked at Edmond who is swinging his sword at wolves he noticed, "captain Edmond, is also somewhat tired, I think I should think of something soon ". With that, he looked around and found a huge boulder nearby. He took the huge boulder has a cover and summoned all three elemental spirits. All three spirits greeted him with a bow as usual. "Volcanis and Necros, As soon as I attract some wolves, kill them, as for you, spirus drain the wolves fighting them and heal me.got it", Ajax quickly ordered all three elemental spirits and threw two stones at the wolves. Soon two wolves turned their attention from. Edmond to Ajax and came near the boulder. As soon as they came behind the boulder, Spirus all used it''s skill, Absorb and drain on them, drain their life and healing Ajax. Wolves got frightened when their energy is escaping from their body and tried to escape but necros already used confuse ray on them when made them run towards Volcanis. After seeing Ajax healedpletely, Volcanis used his firest, instantly exploding them. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a medium grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 10 units of essence of nature absorbed. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a medium grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 10 units of essence of nature absorbed. Soon Ajax got the usual system notification. "phew ...", Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when all his wounds are healed. " By the way, how may times can you use yours skills??? ", Ajax asked thinking there will be a limit for skills. " at my cultivation level, I can use fire st 5 times a day", Volcanis said first. "Same" "Same" Next two elemental spirits also replied same. "I think, I should use this tactic to kill more wolves", thinking this, he turned his head to look at Edmond from behind the boulder. " What???, he killed all of them", Ajax shocked to see Edmond who is Visibly tired killed all the wolves. (Author''s note:- Experience is changed in to essence of nature. Killing beasts gives essence of nature instead of experience) . Chapter 31: Battle 2 in 1, long chapter

31 Battle 2 in 1, long chapter

"Hey Ajax, what''s with that face", seeing the shocked expression on Ajax''s Edmond felt good. " Nothing ", Ajax soon suppressed his shock and thought, ''What cultivation did he reach, he killed nearly 100 green furred wolves without using any techniques and also he is notpletely tired''. "Ajax, collect all the bodies of this wolves, they fetch us some good spirit stones", Edmond tossed a space ring at Ajax while sitting. But before Ajax can collect the bodies in to space ring, Edmond stood up and came before Ajax while looking at a certain distance. Soon, some silhouettes came from that distance. Arge green furred wolf, followed by 2 medium sized green furred wolves and more than dozen small sized green furred wolves followed behind them. "An early rank 5 spirit beast, two medium rank 4 spirit beasts and 12 rank peak rank 1 spirit beasts", Edmond was shocked to see this lineup and quickly said to Ajax, " Run as far as possible quickly ". With that he sted a fire signal in to the sky for others to know that they were in danger. " Do you think, you can live untill the reinforcementes here?" therge early rank 5 spirit beast mocked Edmond. "kill him", Seeing Ajax running away, it ordered rank 1 spirit beasts. Soon more than a dozen rank 1 spirit wolves rushed after Ajax. Seeing this Edmond worried and tried to stop them but even before he can move, two rank 4 spirit beasts blocked him " Please be safe, Ajax ", with a shout he turned around to face that two rank 4 spirit beasts. His body ispletely covered in fire, as he face is full of rage. With the body full of fire, he rushed at them. .... Ajax ran into the direction of dense trees. " I should find a safe hiding ce quickly", with that thought, he ran towards dense trees with a n in his head. As soon as he entered the area of dense trees, he activated the pendent''s skill:- ''Summon of the dead'' and summoned two undead solidiers and made them run into two different directions, whereas he climbed arge tree and hid himself in one of the branches. When wolves entered in to that area, they split and ran towards the direction in which two undead skeletons ran. Seeing this, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and summoned Deatk elemental spirit:- Necros and asked, "At once, How many beasts can you confuse with your skill". " Maximum four , but it will strain me. Instead I can easily confuse three wolves with ease and can control them for sometime", Necros answered respectfully. "Good then, confuse thest 3 wolves and make them attack the wolves infront of them", Ajax ordered Necros. Soon a ck ray of light entered the heads of wolves from Necros making them confuse, ie.,making the wolves running infront of them as Ajax. Wolves running in the front, didn''t even know what was happening before they died from the ws of their own brethren. Ajax soons ummoned the fire elemental spirit :- Volcanis and made him kill the confused wolves with his fire st. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed. ..''Ding, .... .... ... ... As soon as he killed them, he got 3 notifications from the system notifying about his kills. When his looked at the Dead bodies found the wolves, an idea struck his mind. He went to the bodies and activated summoned dead on them. Soon 3 undead wolves stood up from the dead bodies. "They look stronger than undead soldiers", Ajax thought when he saw the 3 undead wolves stood infront of him. " I will go look the other direction now", with that he ran towards other direction. The two elemental spirits and 3 undead wolves and 1 undead soldier followed closely behind him. By the time he went, the undead soldier already got destroyed into many pieces. "Attack", Ajax ordered his small army to attack the 7 wolves standing infront of him. Necros first used his skill to confuse them in attacking their own brethren, Volcanis used his fire st. Then undead wolves and soldier attacked the remaining survived wolves. Ajax also killed one green furred wolf. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed.. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed. ''Ding, Sessfully Killed a peak grade rank 1 Spirt beast, Green furred wolf 30 units of essence of nature absorbed.. .... .... ... Ajax soon got 7 systems notifications which increased his essence of nature by 210 units. "phew", Ajax released a rxed sigh when he killed all 7 wolves and checked his essence of nature. ''Ding, Essence of nature :- 441 units. " Finally, I can reach level 5 now", with that he used 400 units of essence of nature to reach level 5. ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-5) need 500 units of essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation. As soon as his level increased, he felts his muscles bulging a little. "But, still I am not a match for these peak rank 1 spirit beasts",Ajax muttered. Only with the help of his summons, he can kill peak rank 1spirit beast. So his determination increased even more after seeing how weak he was. "I will check how captain Edmond his fairing with their Alpha wolf", Ajax didn''t dare go near to them, only looking from afar. Edmond battled with rank 5 green furred wolf fiercely. His body entirely covered in several wounds but that wolf was even more injured. Besides them two rank 4 green furred wolves lied lifelessly on the ground. "Someone said something about killing me before arriving any reinforcements", Edmond mocked that wolf with a chuckle. " Human, please spare my life, I will be your ve and follow anything you say", the rank 5 wolf said in a pitiful voice. As soon as a spirit beast reaches rank 3 , they can learn how to speak. Having reached rank 5, it values it''s life more, so it begged the human before it. Edmond didn''t say anything and looked at the direction in which Ajax ran. As soon as his let down his gaurd, the rank 5 beast jumped at him only to get killed with Edmond''s sword. "I never believe a spirit beast which begs for survival", after killing it, Edmond ran towards the dense trees. But even before he reached their, he saw Ajax without any life threatening wounds. He was rxed to see Ajax unharmed. "Ajax, how did you escape from their pursuit? ", Edmond asked puzzledly. " I managed to hide climbing a tree and the wolves didn''t even see me and went into other direction ", Ajax said a story, he already prepared. " Ok", although Edmond doubted the story, but soon believed him because it''s impossible to kill even one peak rank 1 spirit beast, what''s more, there were a dozen wolves in his pursuit earlier. So he didn''t ask anymore about it. Soon remaining squad members also arrived and joined them. "Hey Edmond, you took all action leaving behind me", Udo keenaxe shouted at Edmond jokingly. " I was just Lucky, that''s all", Edmond saidughing as he continued ,"Everyone collect the bodies of all wolves, while I take a short break after that we will search for its den, which maybe nearby", Edmond said sat cross-legged to meditate. Soon, they collected all the bodies into thier space rings and waited for Edmond to recover. "We will continue our search, now", after recovering sometime, Edmond said to his squad members. Chapter 32: Ability tree

32 Ability tree

After searching for sometime, they finally found the green furred wolves den which is protected by one rank 4 wolves, more than two rank 3 wolves, more than 10 rank 2 wolves and dozens of rank 1 beasts. Edmond and Udo, who are strongest in the squad, started fighting rank 2, rank 3 and rank 4 beasts whereas Paulin and Lewis hunted rank 1 beasts. As for Ajax he attacked the many wounded beasts and killed them, earning him, many units of essence of nature which made him smile nonstop. Within two hours, theypletely killed all wolves and collected their bodies in space rings and entered the den. The den looked small from outside but once they entered inside, it''s very spacious. In the den, they saw many spirit stones, which, they thought, may be they were collected by the wolves from the killing the passing merchants. "This ''B'' danger rating mission is giving us more spirit stones than a regr ''A'' rating mission", Edmond said nodding his head in content. " hah, what is this?? ", among the spirit stones, Edmond found a weird stone tablet with mysterious markings on it. After sensing that there is no energying from it and he simply threw it aside and casted his gaze at the corner of the den. In the corner, he saw a small tree which is two meters height with three light red coloured fruits hanging on it. " oh, it''s an ability tree, but it''s a pity, it only has three fruits otherwise we would have exchanged it with others for something more valuable", Edmond sighed in pity. "Ability tree??ability fruit??What is it?? ", Ajax asked Lewis who is beside him. " Ability fruit is an invaluable treasure which helps Cultivators to awaken an ability in their body. The ability tree randomly bears 1-10 fruits every hundred years, as it only beared 3 fruits, captain Edmond shook his head in pity ", Lewis continued about ability fruit, " But it has only 10 percent chance to awaken an ability and only one fruit can be eaten per person in their whole life". "I think, it will take 2-3 days untill the fruit fully ripens, you three young ones can take one fruit each and eat it when they ripe", Edmond paused for a second and continued don''t keep your hopes high though, it very rare to awake an ability", Edmond said when he saw their sparkling eyes. " Yes, captain Edmond ", all three youths nodded their heads vigorously. " But Captain Edmond, don''t you need it?? ", Ajax asked after some hesitation. " You don''t need to worry, I have already consumed one when I was your age and my luck was pretty good,as I awakened an ability". " What?? ", Ajax got shocked when he heard Edmond''s words. " As expected of captain Edmond ", Lewis and Paulin, as usual praised their idol with awe. " What ability, captain Edmond ", Ajax asked captain Edmond after recovering from his shock. " It''s called firestorm. When I use my ability, my whole body will be covered in bright red fire and my body stats will be increased 3 times of my original stats for sometimes, but it costs me a lot of essence of nature", Edmond exined proudly about his ability. "wow, it''s very powerful", " it''s cool", "awesome", Lewis, paulin and Ajax interest increased even more now in this ability fruits. " What about you, sir Udo ", Ajax asked respectfully to the other middle aged man in the squad. " Not all of them are as lucky as that old Edmond, I didn''t it get a chance to eat an ability fruit", Udo keenaxe replied with a sigh. "Then, why don''t you try eating it now", Ajax asked slowly. " You, young fellows can have it, it will be wasted on me if I ate it now anyway" Udo said smilingly. "Udo, I think your luck is good, Just see there", Edmond shouted at Udo while separating the branches of the ability tree. When Udo saw the fruit which is hidden among the branches, he just smiled but not very excited. " Alright, Everyone just find some ce in the den and rx. We will wait here, untill the ability fruit fully ripens and then we shall return back", Without waiting for their response, Edmond found a clean ce and sat down. Chapter 33: Continuous awakening

33 Continuous awakening

For the next two days, everyone cultivated with their spirit stones. As for Ajax, he cultivated with a speed of 1 spirit stone per hour. He only stopped when his spirit consciousness was full. "Should I use the medium grade spirit jade now?", Ajax immediately rejected the idea to use spirit jade and simply waited for the ability fruits to ripen. Soon half a day passed. " They are ripe, the ability fruits are ripe", Lewis immediately shouted to notify others about the ability fruits. "Yes, they are indeed ripe", Edmond nodded his head confirming the ripening of fruits and continued, " Ajax will pick the fruit first, next lewis, third Jeff, fourth Paulin and Udo will eatst", Edmond ordered them to eat, one after other and not all at once. Because when many members eat ability fruits, it will disturb the surrounding essence of nature and the sess of awakening is reduced, so it''s better to try eating ability fruits one at a time. "ok", seeing no one objected to what captain Edmond said, Ajax went to pick, one bright red coloured fruit which looked juicy and delicious. As soon as he picked an ability fruit, he got the system notification in the air infront of him (i e., Holographic screen) . ''Ding, Item name :- Ability fruit Type :- Consumable Use :- 10 percent chance to awaken any random ability. Tip :- More units of essence of nature can be used when eating to increase the chance of sess and improve the ability rating. Condition :- only one fruit can be eaten per person. Rating :- Very good item Ajax already knew the use of the ability fruit but what he didn''t know was, about the tip. So he carefully read it and understood it. "So, I can increase the sess rate by using essence of nature", Ajax silently amazed in his head and continued thinking, " it''s also says that this ability fruit is a very good item, I think it''s the first item to get that rating by the system ". Soon, Ajax sat cross-legged and ate the fruitpletely within 3-4 bites, and closed his eyes. As he thought he got the notification ''Ding, Consumed an ability fruit ''Ding, Do you want to increase the chances of awakening an ability??? "Yes", He epted with a thought in his head. ''Ding, How many units do wish to use? " 999", Ajax has total 1000 units of essence of nature, so he wanted to use all his essence of nature to increase the chance of sess and the level of his awakened ability. ''Ding, Consumed 999 units of essence of nature, ''Ding, Increased the ability awakening to 100 percent. ''Ding, Increased the awakening ability to highest level. Soon, essence of nature surrounding Ajax increased to an astonishing level shocking all the squad members. "What a thick essence of nature", Edmond looked at Ajax in awe. " but, how is he doing that? ", Udo asked Edmond. " Don''t know, but don''t ask him. Everyone has their own secrets", Edmond replied to Udo and told not to ask Ajax anything about his secrets. "Ok, ok", Udo nodded his head bitterly. After a few moments, the essence of nature surrounding Ajax disappeared and Ajax open his eyes only to see the shocked expressions of Lewis and other young squad members. " Ajax, it''s sess, right? ", Edmond asked confidently. As he knew, when surrounding essence of nature is that rich, it''s impossible to fail the awakening. " Yes, it''s sess ", Ajax said with a being smile " What is that ability, exin it, Ajax? Lewis being enthusiastic asked him about his ability. Before Ajax said anything, Edmond said with a knock on his head, "Hey brat, go and eat first, then you can discuss all you want when will travel", " Ok, ok, I am going captain Edmond ", Lewis didn''t waste any time and went to pick the fruit. When he was about to eat, he heard Ajax''s voice, " after eating the fruit, use as much as, essence of nature in your spirit consciousness to surround you, it will increase the chances". Nodding his head, Lewis ate the fruit and surrounded himself with his own essence of nature. But the essence of nature is not as rich as Ajax. To everyone''s surprise, he actually awakened an ability, but before he could brag about it, he was knocked out by Edmond. Soon, others followed the same technique Ajax said and all awakened the abilities. "Ok, since everyone awakened their abilities, now it''s time to exin your abilities", Edmond interest piqued and he asked everyone to exin about their awakened ability. " Ajax, let''s start with you", Edmond said as he pointed his finger at Ajax. Chapter 34: Spatial blades

34 Spatial des

" Ajax, let''s start with you", Edmond said, as he pointed his finger at Ajax. Ajax slowly came forward and pointed his finger towards a cave wall. All the squad members curiously looked in that direction. There, they saw a spatial tear, from which many number of small fist sized sharp des made-up of air. The sharp des prated into the wall very deep without any hindrance making the onlookers astonished. "Ajax, you awakened a spatial rted ability?? ", Edmond asked knowingly. " Yes captain Edmond, it''s called spatial des", Ajax already knew about the ability from the system notification which came after he awakened the ability. "Not only you awakened a spatial rted ability but also a high level one. You are one heck of a lucky brat, do you know that? ", Udo keenaxe jokinglymented on his luck. " just lucky, just luck", Ajax kept saying that to everyone squad member and once again looked at his ability information when he went back to his position. ''Ding, Ability name :- Spatial des (level 1) Type :- Space Description :- Consuming essence of nature from user''s spirit consciousness, it opens a tear in the void to shoot small wind des at the Enemies. Tip :- Using more essence of nature increases the damage and pration power of the wind des. Rating :- very good Ajax continuously staring at the tip on the holographic screen. "Just now I only used 10 units of essence of nature which is enough to make a peak rank 1 spirit beast in to pieces. What happens when I use 1000 units??? ", Ajax silently thought this in his head and smiled continuously. Next Lewis came forward to show his ability with a proud look. Soon two dragon wings came out from his back tearing his shirt. " It''s my ability. This wings are not any Oridinary wings, they are called dragon wings. It not only helps me to fly but also increase my speed by 50 percent", Lewis moved quickly to show it''s effects and continued to brag about it. "It''s a very good ability, now stop and go back to your position", Edmond red at Lewis but inside, he was happy for him. Next Jeff keenaxe came forward. " aaaaaaaahh", with a long shout, his entire body is covered with ayer of rock as he spoke, "This ability is called Rock hardening, which increases my attack and defense by a factor of two but the disadvantage is, my speed will be halved". After cancelling his ability, Jeff went back to his position. Now, it''s paulin''s turn to low his ability. " My ability is same as Jeff, however the only difference is, when he used his ability, his body will be covered with rock, whereas mine will be covered with steel", with that his whole body is covered with steel. Edmond and Udo nodded their heads after listening to Paulin''s exnation of his ability. Finally, everyone looked at Udo keenaxe. "Hey brats, stop looking at me like that, I will also show my ability", when the young members of the squad looked at him like ''do it fast old man'' Udo red at them. " My ability is called ''Anticipate'', which helps me in understanding the next attacks of my opponent ", Udo keenaxe exined with a smile and continued, " But it consumption of essence of nature is very high, at present I can only use ''anticipate'' not more than five minutes ", he stoped with a sigh. " Stop with that look, Udo. It''s an easy thing for you to defeat your enemy within that five minutes ", Edmond said with a pat on Udo''s shoulder. Udo just sighed but didn''t said anything. " Now, since everything is over now, we should get going", Edmond said to his squad members as they finished their ability''s exination. "But before we go, let''s destroy that ability tree. Lest anyone knew that we plucked that fruits, it may bring harm to us. Ajax, go and destroy that ability tree, we will walk slowly, join us after you finish itpletely", Edmond stopped suddenly and said to Ajax to destroy the tree. Ajax knew why, because if someone knows there is an ability tree and someone took the fruits, anyone can rte it to them as they were the only team to take this mission, so it''s better to remove that tree. But as soon as he touched the tree, he got a series of system notifications ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, a new System feature is unlocked. ''Ding, .... Chapter 35: Mysterious spirit cultivation technique

35 Mysterious spirit cultivation technique

''Ding, Congrattions to the host, a new System feature is unlocked. ''Ding, New feature ''Inner world'' is unlocked. Ajax puzzled and looked at the new feature ''Inner world'', He got the more detailed information about it. ''Ding, Feature :- Inner world Type :- Space Uses :- 1) to store both living and non living things 2) to collect specific essence of nature from the inner world depending on the nts nted. 3) ....Locked 4) ....Locked Essence of nature :- zero units per day(Currently) Rating :- Useful. "What?? It''s has four uses in which two are locked and two are unlocked", Ajax thought as he looked at the uses and analyzed, " Not only can I store both living and non living things but it also gives me free essence of nature daily, it''s a very useful feature for me". As he looked at the uses of the feature , he wanted to transnt the ability tree into his inner world. Ajax wanted to nt the tree with some mud around it, so he looked around for something sharp to dig it out. Soon, his gaze fell on the stone tablet, which Edmond threw earlier when he sensed no energy fluctuations from it. Ajax went forward and picked it up, only to receive a series of system notifications infront of him. ''Ding, A mysterious spirit cultivation technique is found. ''Ding, 500 units of essence of nature is required to cultivate it. ''Ding, Do you want to cultivate it??? Ajax shocked to see all the notifications and wondered, "why is my luck so good today, that I awakened a spatial ability, unlocked a new system feature which is very useful to me now and finally, a mysterious spirit cultivation technique, which I needed more now to increase my spirit consciousness". Although, he has a spirit jade in his inventory, it''s only an one time upgrade. However, a spirit cultivation technique helps him increase his spirit consciousness, as he progressed in that technique. "Yes", without any dy, Ajax epted it since he has 990 units of essence of nature in his spirit consciousness anyway. '' Ding, 500 units of essence of nature is consumed. ''Ding, Mysterious spirit cultivation technique is cultivated. Ajax soon felt some foreign information flooded into his mind exining about the technique. Soon, Ajax checked about that technique for more information in the user interface. ''Ding, Mysterious Spirit cultivation technique level :- 1 (Need 1000 units to level 2) Grade :- Unknown Type :- Unknown Description :- an unknown spirit cultivation technique which increases the size of spirit consciousness by 1 unit every day. Rating :- Very good "What???, it increases my spirit consciousness size by 1 unit daily. It''s very good. What a lucky day I have today",Ajax smiled continuously from ear to ear. After that he turned his attention to the stone tablet in his hand which is devoid of previous mysterious signs on it. He didn''t think much about it and dug the small ability tree with enough mud covering it''s roots. With a thought, the tree in his hands disappeared. ''Ding, a small ability tree is nted in the ''Inner world''. Ajax looked at the feature information again to see how much essence of nature it gives him now. ''Ding, Feature :- Inner world Type :- Space Uses :- 1) to store both living and non living things 2) to collect specific essence of nature from the inner world depending on the nts nted. 3) ....Locked 4) ....Locked Essence of nature :- 20 units per day(Currently) Rating :- Useful. "Although, this 20 units are less, but ''mosquito meat is also meat''", Ajax is satisfied with free 20 units of essence of nature per day. " I think, from now on I should keep looking for nts and trees to nt them in my inner world and increase the essence of nature ", Ajax wanted to nt as many nts as he can, to increase the essence of nature he receive from the inner world feature. " It''s gettingte, I should join with others quickly ", with that he rushed to join his squad members. Soon, he rejoined with his mercenary squad. " Ajax, did you destroy itpletely? ", Edmond asked Ajax without turning his head. " Yes", Ajax confidently continued, "No one will ever find it again". " ok", Edmond didn''t ask any further questions. Ajax silently heaved a sigh of relief when Edmond didn''t ask him any more questions. Chapter 36: Essence gem

36 Essence gem

At the mercenary guild. "Hey sara, our squadpleted ''Then wolves den'' mission. Here is the proof", Udo keenaxe said to the beautiful receptionist at the guild, giving her many many space rings. " Sure, sir Udo ", the beautiful receptionist took the space rings from Udo politely, with a smile. Although he is not as famous as Edmonton, Udo keenaxe has a good name for himself in the Goldcrest town. After taking the space rings, sara left the counter at the reception and went in a particr room behind the counter. "We will rx in the lobby untill shees back", Edmond said to his squad members Sensing their tired look. They travelled one whole day from Dusk town to Goldcrest, so all the young members of his squad looked somewhat tired. All the squad members settled in the lobby to rx. Soon, sara came back with the same number of space rings she took from the Udo. "Sir Edmond and sir Udo, The dead body of the rank 5 green furred wolf is enough to prove that your squad has cleared the mission sessfully. Here is the reward 5000 life elemental spirit stones", she gave only one space ring first and continued politely, " Sirs, your luck is good and we found an essence gem in the body of rank 5 beast, do you wish to sell it to the guild?? ". " What???", Edmond and Udo totally forgot to check the bodies of the wolves when they found ability tree and now the guild knows it, they should sell it to them. Otherwise, they will be hunted by other organizations. "What is that??? ", Ajax asked Lewis in a low voice, who looked more knowledgeable than others. " It''s like a spirit Stone with has very pure essence of nature which is best for breaking through major realms in the cultivation. You can directly eat it without any side effects", he exined Ajax with a teacher look on his face "Yes sirs, we found an wind elemental essence gem. Do you wish to sell it to us?? ", she repeated the same question. " Yes", without any hesitation, they choose to sell it. Although it is a rare treasure, life is more valuable than it, so they bitterly smiled while selling it. "Also, do you want to sell other wolves dead bodies", she again asked them with a smile. " Yes", they just nodded their heads as there is no use for them with those bodies. Mercenary guild uses the body parts of the spirit beasts to make weapons and pills, so Edmond just exchanged them with spirit stones. "We already know, you will choose to sell them, so we already calcted all. Mission clear reward 5000 elemental spirit stones, essence gem of rank 5 beast 10,000 spirit stones plus the bodies of all the wolves gave 5000 spirit stones. Total 20000 spirit stones, in which 5000 are life elemental and the remaining 15000 spirit stones you can choose among fire, water, wind, earth and life elemental", sara exined the individual values of all and gave them an option to choose which type of elemental spirit stones they want, with a smile. "Give 10,000 fire and remaining 5000 life elemental spirit stones", All the values are within Edmond''s expectations, so he just asked fire and life elemental stones. " Ok, please wait 2 minutes while I will bring you reward ", Sara, with a smile went back into the same room behind the counter. Within two minutes, she came back and gave them 10,000 life elemental spirit stones and 10,000 fire elemental spirit stones. " Pleasure doing business with you, sirs", with a bow, Sara left them and went to the reception counter. After taking the reward from the Sara, Edmond and his squad left the mercenary guild building and walked towards their residence. While walking, "I thought, today was a lucky day but we missed a very useful treasure", Udo keenaxe sighed bitterly. " No need to say lucky or unlucky, it''s not a bad loot, we got from the mission though. From. the spirit stones we got from the cave, we got 30000 spirit stones. It''s enough for us to rx for sometime and enter a secluded cultivation ", Edmond tried to change the atmosphere around him with some words. " Yes, I need to learn more. about my ability I recently gained from the ability fruit and also you young people should also cultivate properly untill we take next mission, ok?? ", Udo nodded his head at Edmond and said to cultivate properly to the youths in their squad. Chapter 37: Splitting the Reward

37 Splitting the Reward

In the Hazegrove mercenary squad building. In the main hall, Edmond and other squad membersid downfortably on their chairs with a rxed expression on their faces. Suddenly, Edmond stood up and said in a slow but steady voice, "Now, it''s time to split up our reward". As soon as the heard the word ''Reward'', all the squad members stood up with an excited expression on their faces. " From this mission alone,we earned 30,000 spirit stones. As the captain I will be taking 10000 fire element spirit stones and Udo, the vice captain, who has an affinity with life element spirit stones, will be taking 8000 life element spirit stones", Edmond paused for second and continued, "Remaining 12000 spirit stones which are in the mix of Wind, earth, life, fire and water elements. So take not more than 3000 spirit stones of your specific element",Edmond gave a space ring to Udo and another one to Lewis. " What?? we are getting 3000 spirit stones each?? Hurray", "long live the captain", Except ajax, remaining three youths shouted with excitement. As for the reason, it''s simple. This is the first mission they did least work to get more spirit stones. Ajax is also as excited as them but in the different way from others. He was in a daze, thinking how many levels he can increase his cultivation, once he absorbed all the spirit stones. "Since, I am have an affinity with wind element, I will pick only wind element spirit stones. Even if they are less that 3000, I will only take them", Saying this, Lewis quickly separated the wind element spirit stones from the space ring. Soon, hepletely took all the wind element spirit stones which amounted to a total of 2600. After taking 2600 wind element spirit stones, he passed the space ring to Jeff and left to his room in a rush to cultivate. Seeing this, Udo shook is his and left to his room with a space ring which Edmond gave him just now. Edmond also didn''t say anything and just left to his room before saying, "I will cultivate half a month in Seclusion, don''t disturb me during this time". " Yes Captain Edmond ", Ajax and others replied Edmond respectfully. After Edmond left, Jeff also followed the Lewis principle and just took 2800 earth element spirit stones and passed the space ring to Ajax and left to his room. Ajax and Paulin also didn''t said anything as they already knew Jeff has a highpatibility with earth element. Ajax took the space ring from jeff said to Paulin, "senior Paulin, you go first". " Sure, but I have request Ajax", Paulin said after some hesitation. "Please say, senior Paulin", although Paulin don''t talk much but Ajax knew he was a very good person deep insideinside, so he asked what is that request. "From the look, water element spirit stones look more than 3000, I will take that extra water element spirit stones now, since I need to breakthrough themander realm, what will you say Ajax?? ", Paulin asked Ajax with an embarrassed look on his face. " It''s not a big problem, senior brother paulin ", Ajax continued with a smile, " That Lewis and Jeff only took 2600 and 2800 spirit stones respectively, so just take it ". " Thanks Ajax", paulin thanked Ajax repeatedly. Soon paulin separated the water element spirit stones from the space ring.He got a total of 3300 water element spirit stones. Paulin again thanked Ajax before he left to his room. Finally Ajax was the only one, who stood alone in the main Hall with a space ring in his hand. Soon he counted the spirit stones in the ring. "2400 life element spirit stones and 900 fire element spirit stones. Total 3300 spirit stones, with this, my strength will increase again", Ajax with a smile on his face thought in his head. Without wasting any time Ajax went to his room, to start absorbing the spirit stones. Before starting his cultivation, he want to check his information in the user interface ''Ding, Name :- Ajax race :- human Body force :- 1900 jin(+760 jin) Essence of nature :- 510 units Main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 2) Body cultivation :- Soldier realm level 4 Note:- Based on the body force of user, he has the strength of peak level 9 soldier. Spirit cultivation technique :- Mysterious spirit cultivation technique (level 2) Spirit cultivation :- Spirit soldier realm level 1 Note:- Based on the essence of nature that can be stored in user''s body, he has the strength of level 5 spirit soldier. Number of elemental spirits :- 3 Equipped items 1) Item name :- Sigmis ck pendant Grade :- medium grade artifact (Evolvable) Effect :- 40% increase in user''s defence Special effect :- 20 percent increase in attack power when fight enemies.

Number of Summons avable :- 5/5. rating :-good Description :- It is the final product of sigmis, many years of hardwork and research, However it is upgraded to medium grade with the help of ugrade stone. The holograhic screen infront of him disyed all the details of him and the items. "I think My essence of nature is increased by 20 due to inner world", Ajax nodded his head and sat cross legged to start cultivating with spirit stones. Chapter 38: Upgrading spirit consciousness

38 Upgrading spirit consciousness

''Shit, my spirit consciousness is full so soon'', Ajax cursed his spirit consciousness inwardly and opened his eyes, stopping his cultivation temporarily. It''s has been only two days since they spilt their reward. In these two days, Ajax cultivated with his Heaven and earth refining technique to absorb spirit stones non-stop. But his spirit consciousness has been filled in two days making him stop his cultivation. ''I should improve my capacity of spirit consciousness quickly'', With that thought in his mind, Ajax checked his spirit consciousness with in user interface. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 1001/1003 "What, how did this happen", Ajax shocked to see his spirit consciousness capacity increased by 3 units, However he soon remembered the reason. " It''s must be due to mysterious spirit cultivation technique ", Ajax soon checked it information ''Ding, Mysterious Spirit cultivation technique (Passive) level :- 1 (Need 1000 units to level 2) Grade :- Unknown Type :- Unknown Description :- an unknown spirit cultivation technique which increases the size of spirit consciousness by 1 unit every day. Rating :- Very good "Ho, I totally forget that it will increase my spirit consciousness capacity by 1 units daily. It''s been 3 days since I learned it, so 3 units are increased without me doing anything", Ajax was happy with that technique but he continued muttering himself, " But it''s still very slow, I think I should probably use the medium grade spirit jade and increase my capacity by 1000 units", with that thought he took out his spirit jade. ''Ding, item name :- Medium grade spirit jade Usage :- Helps in increasing the spirit consciousness of user by 100 km in area. (Author''s Note:- 100 km = 1000 units) Used :- Through Meditation rating :- Good. With a thought, a notification came ''Ding, Do you want to use Medium grade spirit jade to increase your spirit consciousness. "Yes", Ajax said without any dy. ''Ding, Host Consumed a Medium grade spirit jade. ''Ding, Host''s Spirit consciousness capacity is increased by 1000 units. ''Ding, Host''s spirit cultivation strength exceed the spirit soldier realm. ''Ding, Do you wish to enter elite spirit soldier realm directly or Do you wish to not consider these 1000 units as you spirit cultivation?? Ajax understood every notification butst one was some what confusing, so he asked system to exin clearly about it. ''Ding, The 1000 units spirit consciousness capacity increased by an auxiliary method. If host wants to remain in the soldier realm and wants to increase his spirit consciousness capacity by the cultivation techniques, he can reject the breath through to elite spirit soldier realm. ''Ding, Although, host will be having 2003 units of spirit consciousness capacity, the system will only consider 1003 units capacity. ''Ding, Host''s base spirit consciousness will be set as 1000 units and every 100 units will be considered as the next level of the main realm. ''Ding, Do you wish to enter elite spirit soldier realm directly or Do you wish to not consider these 1000 units as you spirit cultivation??. Finally understood something from the detailed exnation of the system. Now, his spirit consciousness capacity is 1003 units, when it reaches 1100 units, then his spirit cultivation will be Spirit soldier level 2 . But in actual, his spirit consciousness capacity can bepared with an elite spirit soldier. "No", Ajax denied the breakthrough to next realm because he wants to be more stronger than his peers in the same level. Although he has 1000 units of essence of nature, he didn''t upgrade any technique or his cultivation. He thought he will upgrade all things when his spirit consciousness will be full. Without wasting any time, Closing his eyes, Ajax went into his cultivation with a bunch of spirit stones in his hands. He continuously absorbed them rapidly an dafter finishing them another bunch of spirit stones appeared in his hands. Soon four days went in a sh. In these four days, he spirit consciousness which can now hold 2007 units is filled with 2005 units of essence of nature . Ajax excitedly opened his eyes and without thinking much he concentrated on his body cultivation level up. ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-4) need 400 units of essence of nature to reach level 5 body cultivation. "Upgrade to level 5", Ajax said controlling his excitement. ''Ding, Consumed 400 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-5) need 500 units of essence of nature to reach level 6 body cultivation. Soon, Ajax felt his body bing stronger and stronger slowly. "Upgrade again", Without wasting any time he said to upgrade his cultivation again to the system. ''Ding, Consumed 500 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-6) need 600 units of essence of nature to reach level 7 body cultivation. Instantly his essence of nature is reduced by 500 units. Although, he felt heartache when his essence of nature is reduced rapidly, he wanted to continue upgrading his cultivation. But before he even upgrade, he felt a sudden force which made him suppressed and made him unable to breathe. Chapter 39: Inheritance ground

39 Inheritance ground

But before he even upgrade his cultivation, he felt a sudden force which made him suppressed and made him unable to breathe. The force disappeared after a few seconds. Although it onlysted for a few seconds, Ajax waspletely drenched with sweat. "What was it? ", Ajax shuddered just thinking about the force which suppressed him. He came out of his room to check what was that force. As soon as he came out of his room, he met the Lewis, Paulin and Jeff who are also covered in sweat. " Hey Lewis, did you also experience the suppression by some kind of force", Ajax asked Lewis who was moving very fast. "Yes Ajax, that force came from the captain Edmond''s room. Come, we will check it together", Lewis only stopped for a moment and continue rushing towards Edmond''s room without waiting for Ajax''s reply. Ajax also didn''t said anything, just mingled with them and rush with them. " Hwahhahhhaha, Finally, after 3 years, I achieved a breakthrough to the elite general realm. Now, I finally have some hope", Soon Ajax heard Edmond''s voice which sounded with full of hatred at the end. "Hey old Edmond, do you want to scare the young ones to death or what??? ", Who knows when did Udo appeared behind them, but the voice woke up Edmond from his daze. " oh", only now did Edmond saw the Ajax and others through the broken door just outside his room. " Sorry young ones, just now I felt excited and forget to control my power"Seeing the sweat covered faces, Edmond felt embarrassed and apologized them with a bow without any hesitation. "No need for that captain", " See, we arepletely fine", "You don''t need to bow to us Captain Edmond", Seeing their Almighty Captain bowing, Ajax and others quickly said. '' Although Captain Edmond looked powerful and Almighty, deep inside he was a very kind-hearted man'', Ajax silent thought in his head about Edmond and was very grateful towards him. Seeing their actions, Edmond felt awkward. "If you small drama is over, I have two news, one good new and other is a bad news, Which one do you want to hear old Edmond", To remove the awkwardness infront of him, Udo started with a joke and end with a serious tone. Hearing the serious tone of Udo, Edmond said, "Start with the good news then, Udo". Nodding his head, Udo said in the same serious tone, " Just outside the goldcrest town, an entry to an inheritance ruin is discovered". Ajax quickly asked Lewis in a slow voice, "What is it?? ". Lewis wondered at Ajax''s ignorance ''How can he didn''t know anything? '', but exined silently, " Inheritance ruins is a treasurend where you can find various kinds of treasures and the main important thing is, if you pass the trial set by the master of that inheritance ruin, you can get his inheritance ". " oh, Then it''s very great ", Ajax said with an excitement. " Yes, it''s great but it''s also dangerous inside the ruins because you can lose your life, even without knowing how", Lewis replied in a serious voice. .. "Now a days, an entry to an inheritance ground (or ruins) is being discovered here and there. Is this the good news you wanted to say that badly", Edmond said mockingly to Udo. To his mocking, Udo just smiled and said, " Do you know whose inheritance ruin is this??? ", " Whose?? ", Edmond asked squinting his eyes. " It''s a summoner King''s inheritance ground", Udo slowly revealed it. "What??? ", Edmond was shocked and asked Udo "How can a summoner king''s inheritance ground appear here?? ". " Who knows, but the mercenary guild already dered it as a summoner king''s inheritance ground, "Udo just smiled as he said that. " Then, what is the bad news?? ", Edmond asked Udo with a worry on his face. " The bad news is only people below 18 years old can enter the inheritance ground", Udo said with a huge sigh. "What???Although every inheritance ground has a restriction, this summoner king''s inheritance ground''s restriction is a huge one", Edmond also sighed but looking at Ajax and others, he said, " Since we have four members in our squad who can enter the inheritance ground, it will not be a problem", Edmond consoled himself. Chapter 40: Level 7 Soldier

40 Level 7 Soldier

"Another important thing, that three sects and five main families along with Royal Family is also sending their elite young ones for the inheritance of the summoner king", When Edmond heard Udo''s words, his eyes shone fiercely to a brief moment before turning back to normal again. Edmond turned to Ajax and others and said, "Young ones, when you are inside the inheritance ground, don''t trust anyone. More importantly don''t trust those from the sects and main family", he paused for a second and continued, " Although they look righteous but don''t be fooled by their look, they are very cruel than you ever know". "Yes captain", Ajax and others seriously nodded their heads and took his words very seriously. Nodding his head, Edmond asked Udo, " Do you know when will the entrance for inheritance ground will be opened?? ". Udo Keenaxe is not only a vice-captain for Hazegrove mercenary squad, but also intelligence gatherer for the squad, so Edmond asked him about it. " ording to Mercenary guild, the entrance for the inheritance ground will be opened in approximately 15-20 days", Udo said it after thinking for a moment. "You heard it young ones, For the next 15 days, fully focus on your cultivation and try to improve as much as possible, do you understand? ", Edmond shouted loudly at Ajax and others. " Yes captain, we understood", When they heard the loud voice of Edmond, automatically they replied attentively. "Especially, you Ajax, if you don''t reach the peak soldier realm, I will not permit you to enter the inheritance ground", When his eyesnded on Ajax,Edmond said slowly. " Yes captain, I will cultivate properly for the next 15 days and reach peak of the soldier realm", Ajax still replied in the attention mode. "Ok then, go now and cultivate", Edmond motioned his hand to go back to their rooms to cultivate. Soon Ajax and others rushed to their rooms to cultivate. Seeing all the young ones left, Edmond asked Udo in a grudge filled voice , " Do you know, who are escorting the young elites of Assassin guild and Fire sword sect". Nodding his head, Udo replied, " For the assassin guild,A Dark gold grade assassin is escorting the bronze and silver grade young elite assassins", Udo paused for a second and looked at Edmond''s face, as he continued, "As for the Fire sword sect, they didn''t revealed any information about it and nobody knows, how many young elites areing and who is escorting them". As soon as he heard that the Fire sword sect didn''t revealed any information, Edmond''s hand turned in to fist and punched into the air. The force from the punch made Udo shocked because he didn''t except his best friend to be this powerful. Soon Edmond calmed himself and sat in the bed. Seeing Edmond calmed down, Udo advised Edmond, "Why not we ask Lewis and others to kill the young elites from that sect and family?? ". "It''s not right to involve them into my matter. Even if they agreed to kill the young elites, it''s impossible to kill them with the power they had", Edmond shook his head and sighed bitterly at his powerlessness. " Ok then, I will leave now, if you don''t have anything to ask? ", Seeing his best friend in this condition, Udo also felt sad and wanted to leave from there. " Ok, I also need to stabilize my cultivation anyway. By the way, thanks ", Edmond smiled lightly when he looked at Udo. Nodding his head, Udo left with a sigh. After Udo left, Edmond muttered, " I have to be powerful soon", with that, he also entered cultivation leaving his broken door as it is. Back in the Ajax''s room. "System, level up my body cultivation to level 7", Without wasting any time, Ajax thought in his head. Since he can''t upgrade his Main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth refining technique to level 3 anyway due to it''s huge requirement of essence of nature, he choose body cultivation to level up. ''Ding, Consumed 600 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-7) need 700 units of essence of nature to reach level 8 body cultivation. He felt his strength increasing as usual which is veryfortable but when he saw his essence of nature, his heart ached. Because, he only have 500+ units of essence of nature remaining in his spirit consciousness which is not enough to upgrade his level. So he simply took a pile of spirit stones and started cultivating. Chapter 41: Level 10 soldier

41 Level 10 soldier

Ajax sat cross-legged on his soft bed in his room with a pile of spirit stones in his hands. Small shining dots of more than one colour, entered into his body from time to time. One day after another, passed by. After Seven days, "offfooooo, finally filled by spirit consciousness", Ajax heaved a long sigh of relief as he opened his eyes. In thest seven days, he cultivated nearly 20 hours, only rest 4 hours. With his restless cultivation, his spirit consciousness ispletely filled with essence of nature. "System,Spirit consciousness information,please",He wanted to know exact number of units of essence of nature, so he requested the system. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 2009 units/2014 units " Wooahh, that mysterious spirit cultivation technique is very useful. Thanks to it, without any effort my spirit consciousness capacity is increasing", Ajax pleased with that mysterious technique. "System, Now let''s Upgrade my body cultivation", Ajax said in his head without wasting any time. ''Ding, Consumed 700 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-8) need 800 units of essence of nature to reach level 9 body cultivation. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 1309 units/2014 units After the upgrade notification another notification about remaining essence of nature, appeared infront of him ''Once again, upgrade my body cultivation'', Nodding his, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Ding, Consumed 800 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-9) need 900 units of essence of nature to reach level 10 body cultivation. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 509 units/2014 units "I think, I should go back to cultivation again to upgrade my cultivation", Ajax already knew, he can''t upgrade his cultivation that easily. Bitterly sighing, he went back to his cultivation. Soon another seven days passed by. Ajax followed the same 20 hours long cultivation sessions in thest seven days which helped him umte around 1500 units of essence of nature. "This feeling is so good", Ajax always liked the feeling of his spirit consciousness full. When it is filledpletely, he felt his body is full of energy. But the cruel thing is, he have to level up various things such as cultivation techniques, cultivation levels andst but not least leveling up the elemental spirits. ''Since I can''t use elemental spirits openly infront of others, it better to upgrade my cultivation level'', Ajax just thought about his cultivation levels. Ajax took a huge breath and released it, just to focus on the main thing now. "First, spirit consciousness", Soon a holographic notification came ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 2020 units/2021 units "System, upgrade to level 10 of soldier realm", Ajax said system to upgrade his level. ''Ding, Consumed 900 units of essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Soldier (level:-10) need 2000 units of essence of nature to breakthrough to elite soldier realm. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 1120 units/2021 units "What???", as soon as he saw the required units of essence of nature, Ajax got shocked. Although he thought, it will increase the required units to reach next realm, but he didn''t imagine that the requirement will be doubled. " I think, I should stop upgrading my level for now then", As it requirement is high, Ajax stopped upgrading his cultivation level. "System, My data ", Since he didn''t have time to cultivate now, he just want to see his data, whether he can upgrade anything with his remaining essence of nature.

'' Ding, 1000 units of essence of nature is consumed. ''Ding, Mysterious spirit cultivation technique is upgraded up to level 2. Soon, some mysterious foreign information rted to mysterious spirit cultivation technique entered into his mind. Along with the foreign information, a sharp pain on his mind came with it. The pain became fierce with the time. "Just bear with it. Your will is stronger than it",When Ajax about to lose his consciousness, he heard a deep voice in his mind. Soon Ajax gained focus and continued to bear with the pain. The pain because harder and harder for him to bear, just when he was about to lose his consciousness again, he heard the same deep voice, "You can do it, don''t lose you will". " Whhhhooo thhhhheee hhheeeck aaare youuuuuu, "Gritting his teeth, Ajax, who was about to lose his consciousness became alert with the deep voice. But he got no reply. After bearing it, who knows how many minutes, the pain became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared. As soon as the pain disappeared, Ajax gasped for breath. "What is that deep voice, I heard in my head, it''s definitely not system voice which is cold", Ajax thought about the deep voice. "Helloo", " Anyone in there", "Who are you", " What are you", After asking some random questions in his head, he stop asking more, since he is not getting any reply. "Whatever, since it helped me at the critical moment, it can be considered a good thing, I guess", with that thought, he stopped bothering himself with that deep voice and checked, the level 2 mysterious spirit cultivation technique. ''Ding, Mysterious Spirit cultivation technique level :- 2 (Need 10000 units to level 3) Grade :- Unknown Type :- Unknown Description :- an unknown spirit cultivation technique which increases the size of spirit consciousness by 10 unit every day.

" Although It''s good before, but now it''s better and it''s increases 10 units of spirit consciousness capacity daily without me doing anything ", Ajax was over the cloud nine but when he saw the requirement for level 3, all his happiness is disappeared in to thin air. " Let''s not bother about it now", Ajax consoled himself and checked his remaining essence of nature. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness :- 120 units/2021 units Shaking his head, he didn''t bother about it also, since he can cultivate it with time anyway. Taking a deep breath and releasing it, heid down on his softfortable bed. Before he can enjoy thefort, he heard knocking on his door. Although, he was irritated, he opened the door, only to see Udo with a smile on his face. "Ajax fresh up and meet with us in 5 minutes in the main hall", Seeing the tired look on Ajax''s face Udo said slowly and went downstairs. After 5 minutes Ajax soon met with other squad members in the main hall. As soon as he saw Ajax, Edmond nodded his head in satisfaction and started speaking. "We got an information rting to the inheritance ground",Edmond paused and looked at his squad members faces and said, " It can open any time after 3 hours from now, so be will be going now. Just pack everything including food for several weeks, Ok? ". " Yes captain ", Ajax and others already knew that the inheritance grounds will not be closed untill the inheritance is taken by someone. So they had to prepare some food incase of emergency. " Now go and prepare yourselves and join Me and Udo within 30 minutes at the town entrance" Edmond ordered seriously. Ajax and others, soon went to their rooms to pick weapons and spirit stones, then went out to buy some food and Joined Edmond and Udo. Soon, they walked towards the inheritance ground direction which is fully crowded with cultivators. "Hey, Isn''t he the great Edmond Hazegrove", As soon as they walked towards the inheritance ground, Ajax heard a mocking voice from certain direction. Chapter 43: Fire Sword Sec

43 Fire Sword Sec

"Hey, Isn''t he the great Edmond Hazegrove", As soon as they walked towards the inheritance ground, Ajax heard a mocking voice from certain direction. In that direction, a group of five stood thereughing. Five people consists, one bald middle aged man and four 17-18 years old young men. They all wore the same type of red bordered white coloured robes with a symbol on it. Although, the symbol is not big, it is clearly visible to Ajax. It looked like a sword covered in bright red mes. "Woah, I didn''t expected a weak bald elder to escort the fire sword sect disciples to the inheritance ground. I wonder, the fire sword sect iscking in power over the time", Edmond mocked the bald middle aged man in reply. When the surrounding people heard Edmond''s words, they surprise first but shook their heads at Edmond''s foolishness. " Hey Edmond, keep your dog mouth closed, otherwise, I will beat the shit out of you ",The bald middle aged man shout in agitation. " Let''s see, who will beat the shit out of whom? ", Edmond said with an intense killing intent towards that bald middle aged man. When he sensed the intense killing intent from Edmond, he unconsciously to shivered. ''When did he became this strong??, I should inform big brother about it, otherwise it will bring a trouble to the sect'', a thought aroused in his head. "Let''s not associate with these lowly men", without giving any reply to Edmond, he and his sect disciples turned and went towards their tent. The surrounding cultivators, all got shocked, when they saw, the second elder of the fire sword sect left without saying anything. "Who is that man", " He sure is gutsy", "I think, He humiliated the second elder of fire sword sect on purpose", " Me too", Some cultivators gossiped about Edmond while others gossiped like this, " How can that angry second elder of the fire sect didn''t say anything", "I think, what that Edmond guy said is true With time, they are losing power" " That old mighty fire sword said is not anymore", When he heard the gossips, the second elder of fire sword sect clenched his fist but didn''t said anything. Behind him, his sect disciples faces are also filled with anger as they entered the tent. "Junior martial uncle, how dare a nobody like him humiliate you and our fire sword sect", said anky youth with a fierce expression on his face. " Yes master, what senior martial brother is right. How dare he look down on you", said a bald youth with a round belly. "Yes master, we should take revenge on him, otherwise, remaining sects and main families criticize us", said the remaining two sect disciples in unison. " Stop young ones, I know how you feel, but calm down", The second elder of the fire sword sect shouted at them. "But... ", Without giving any chance to others to speak, the second elder continued, " Although, I, Oldins, may be weaker than him, but he can''t win a fight with me that easily", he paused for a second and continued looking at thenky boy, "Nedhor, Even if your master, My senior brother, Craandruin, won''t dare to kill him". " What??", Nedhor was shocked to hear that words "But why, Junior martial uncle??"he asked slowly. " When we return, you can ask yourself, as for now just concentrate on the Summoner King''s inheritance ground", shaking his head oldins replied calmly. "Now go and take some rest, the inheritance ground can be opened any time now", he urged them to take rest. As they left, oldins muttered with an evil grin, ''Edmond, you can never be as strong as first elder much less the sect leader''. Aftering out, Nedhor''s gaze fell on Ajax and other boys. " Since we can''t do anything to him, we can do whatever we want with them in the inheritance ground, right? ", Nedhor''s gaze is filled with killing intent but not as powerful as Edmond''s though. Seeing the ferocious grin on their senior martial brother''s face, the bald youth and other shivered but supported him with a ''yes''. Edmond and his squad members are chatting happily under a tree. Udo keenaxe however managed to sense the killing intent from the fire sword sect''s disciples and adviced Ajax and other, "Hey young ones, when you are inside, keep an eye on surroundings and always remain in group, Understand? ". " Yes vice captain, Udo ", all of them nodded their heads seriously. Seeing their actions, he simply Laughed and shook his head. Chapter 44: Princess Daphne

44 Princess Daphne

In front of the entrance to the Summoner king''s inheritance ground, many tents were pitched. Among many tents, one huge blue tent which looked majestic in appearance. In the blue tent, an old man wore a blue robe with a golden border, which made him look grandiose. Before him, a young girl of nearly 15-16 years, sat cross-legged and was in deep cultivation. "Princess Daphne is one in a million genius, who reached level 5 of elite soldier realm even before reaching 16 years", seeing the young girl in front of him, the old man in blue praised her with a pleased look on his face. "But, those damn main families pressuring his Majesty to marry her off into their families", He sighed softly and looked with pity at her. Soon, the young girl opened her eyes and looked at the old man in front of her. " Hello grandpa Lin, how long have you been waiting there? ", princess Daphne asked the old man with a tone full of respect and concern. " Not much, princess Daphne", Grandpa Lin smiled at her concern towards him. " Grandpa Lin, When will be that entrance to the inheritance ground is opened. We have been waiting here for hours", princess Daphne said with an irk. "Please be patient, princess. It will be opened soon. Also, the important thing is I will select 4 young people I trust to protect you in the inheritance ground, ok?", old man Lin said slowly. " No problem, grandpa Lin, but I have a doubt though? ", the young princess asked smilingly. " Ask away princess, I will answer it to my best", Grandpa Lin said seriously. "No need to be so serious, grandpa Lin", seeing that old man be serious, the young princess embarrassed and asked, " why are you selecting only 4 people, when we have so many". "Hahaha", when he heard the question old man Linughed suddenly but still exined, "It''s because, when more than five enter at the same time, they will be scattered in a random direction. So every family and sect will be entering with a squad of 5 members just like us". " oh", princess Daphne nodded her cute head in understanding. "But the important thing is don''t let anyone know that you are a ..... ", Before he can finish his word, someone entered the tent in a rush. " what is it?? ", grandpa Lin asked in irritation. " It''s the entrance, the entrance to the inheritance ground is opening", when the rushed youth saw the irritated look on the grandpa Lin''s face, he shivered in fear. " Ok, you can wait outside ", nodding his head, he turned his head towards princess Daphne and said, " Don''t let anyone know, including your security. Only use it in case of emergency, ok? ". " Understood grandpa Lin ", the princess said confidently. Soon, the duo came out of the tent. " Everyone form a line", grandpa Lin shouted. As soon as everyone in front of the tent heard his voice, they stood in a line. "You, you, you and you", old man Lin quickly selected four young men to be part of Princess Daphne''s team and casually group another 3 teams each consisting of 5 people. " Everyone, listen carefully, as soon as you enter the inheritance ground, your first job is to find princess Daphne and protect her, Understand? ", Grandpa Lin''s loud voice is heard by everyone from the Royal Family entourage. " Understood sir", all replied in unison. Princess Daphne and her team entered the inheritance ground first since she is from the Royal Family, no one said anything. After her team, the remaining teams from Royal Family also entered. As soon as, the Royal Family entered. "We from thebat king sect will get the inheritance of summoner king", a team of proud young men entered the inheritance ground after Royal Family confidently. " Thisbat king sect is bing more and more arrogant than fire sword sect ", muttered a gold robed assassin who escorted the young elites of assassin sect. " Just kill anyone whoes in your way, but don''t leave any witnesses, understand? ", the gold robed assassin said in a cold voice to the young elites beside him. " Yes sir", nodding their head, a group of assassins entered the inheritance ground. Finally, the fire sword sect who only has 4 young members entered the inheritance ground. Just before entering the portal, Nedhor looked coldly at Ajax and others. "Young ones, go now but remember what I said, always remain vignt", Udo said them to enter the inheritance ground after all the major sect entered. Nodding their heads Ajax and others moved in the direction of the entrance. "Who are these country bumpkins", a mocked voice came from behind, making Ajax and others frown and turned to look at the source of the voice. Chapter 45: Entering the inheritance ground

45 Entering the inheritance ground

"Who are these country bumpkins", a mocked voice came from behind, making Ajax and others frown and turned to look at the source of the voice. An arrogant young man with a huge hammer in his hand followed by other young men with a humble expression on their faces. " Hey bumpkins, make a way for this young master here", seeing Ajax and his friends, the arrogant young manmanded them as they were his servants. "Who is this, Silkpants? ", Lewis said in the same mocking tone. " What did you say??", hearing the word, silkpants, that arrogant young man''s face twisted in rage. "oh, he is not only a silkpants, but also a deaf man", Lewis didn''t stop there yet, he continued, " Sigh.., what a pity to be deaf at such a young age". Ajax and others were unable to hold theirughs andughed loudly. The arrogant young man became more and more angrier with Lewis words. "Young master, please control. Everyone is looking at us", said one of his follower. " Yes young master. If we kill them, that Edmond guy behind them, who even didn''t care about the fire sword sect will not let go our Hammergust family", said another follower, fearing their young master do something crazy. Nodding his head, the arrogant young masterughed arrogantly as he said, "But, how will he know, if I kill them in the inheritance ground" "Yes, Young master. We will kill them, if we find them in the inheritance ground", the followwr started their usual bootlicking. " Ken, let your spirit beast remember their smell. Once we enter, we must find them at any cost and kill them ", Young master ordered anky boy behind him. " Understood, young master ", thenky boy replied, some mutterings are also heard from his pocket. " Good, let''s enter now",without saying anything, the arrogant young master''s team of five entered the inheritance ground. Seeing the leaving group, Ajax and otherughed even loudly and entered behind them. Soon, teams of other main families like ''Foreglow Family'', ''Duathorn Family'', ''Covenheart Family'', ''Terratide Family'', each entered the inheritance ground with a team of 5 members silently. ... Zrochester province is ruled by Draton family which called Royal Family.Which is the strongest one in the whole Zrochester province. Next, three sects, ''Fire sword sect'', ''Assassin sect'' and ''Combat king sect'', are slightly less powerful than the Draton Royal family. The five main families are at the bottom of the power among them but they are more powerful than many other small families. As for the mercenary guild, it''s only a equivalent to the main families but the power behind them is more powerful than Draton family Royal family. So it enjoys respect from all sects and families. ..... As Ajax and other went into the entrance of inheritance ground, which looked like a portal, Ajax felt his surroundings revolving around him and within a few seconds, he and others teleported to an unfamiliar location which is full of trees and mountains. As soon as they teleported to the unfamiliar location, Except Ajax, whose has high spirit consciousness , others vomitted due to teleportation. "Wow, what a rich essence of nature! ", Ajax eximed loudly when he sensed the rich essence of nature in the air. When Lewis and others heard his words, they vomited once again. " Brother, atleast show some concern towards us", Lewis said with much difficulty as he continued, "Brother please stay guard while we stabilize our conditions, ok? ". paulin and Jeff also nodded their heads in agreement. " Ok, brothers. I will stand guard until you stabilize you conditions ", Ajax agreed instantly. With difficulty, Lewis and others walked towards a tree. " Brothers, is it that difficult to walk normally?? ", Ajax asked innocently. When they heard his words, they once again vomited. Without bothering with him, they sat under the tree and entered meditation to stabilize their conditions. As for Ajax, he remained vignt and observed his surroundings carefully, while enjoying the beauty of the location. There are many trees and small mountains around him. A tumult of noises, most belonged to foraging birds, added life to the surroundings, and overpowered the sound of the wind blowing gently through the area. Soon Lewis and others finished stabilizing their conditions. "Wow, what a rich essence of nature", Lewis eximed loudly just like Ajax who eximed in the beginning. " Who are you feeling ", Ajax asked everyone but fixed his stare at Lewis. " Thanks for guarding us Ajax ", Lewis thanked Ajax embarrassedly rubbing the back of his head. " Thanks Ajax ", Paulin and Jeff also thanked him. " No, no, no. I just stood for sometime and did nothing ", Ajax replied in modesty. " Ok then, since everybody is their top condition let''s search for treasures", Lewis, with his usual excited mode shouted loudly. Soon, they started moving towards the area with dense trees. Chapter 46: A Wisp of spirit consciousness

46 A Wisp of spirit consciousness

As they entered deeper into the forest, Ajax heard the sounds of various spirit beasts. After travelling for some time they finally found an altar which is only three meters in height and fully covered with bizarre patterns on it. "Let me inspect, what it is??", Lewis whispered to others and cautiously scanned the altar. " Be careful with it Lewis, We don''t have any inkling about it", Paulin warned Lewis. Nodding his head, Lewis sprinted to the altar and scrutinized it like an adept. "Stop behaving like a professional, Lewis", Jeff criticized Lewis at his acting. " Actually, I am a professional when ites to mysterious runes and markings, Jeff", Lewis proimed himself as professional and continued, "If you don''t believe me,e and see for yourselves". Ajax and Paulin giggled at Lewis words and moved towards him dragging Jeff along with them. On the altar, a small white gemstone is embedded on it. " What is it, Lewis???", Paulin raised a question about the white gemstone to Lewis. "ahem", Lewis cleared his throat and started his exnation about it, " I heard from my grandfather that, if a green coloured gemstone is embedded on an altar, then it will heal all your injuries when you touch it". "Then what about this white coloured gemstone??", Jeff urged Lewis to exin quickly, about it. " This..this.., I don''t know", Lewis mumbled embarrassed. "What happened to the professional in you then??", Jeff ridiculed Lewis reminding his earlier words. Lewis''s face turned even more red from embarrassment when he heard the ridicule. " Stop it, Jeff. Let''s identify what will happen if we touch it?", Paulin, as an eldest among the group, tried to pacify the situation between them and proposed to touch it. Before Paulin even moves his hand, Lewis touched the stone without saying anything and disappeared from everyone''s sight. "Where did he go??", Ajax stunned and asked others. " I don''t know either", Jeff shook his head. "I saw him touching this gemstone before disappearing. I think he was teleported to into the altar" Paulin said as he guessed theter part. "Then shall we also try it", Ajax suggested paulin and Jeff. " Let''s do it, brother Paulin", Jeff also agreed with Ajax, without any hesitation. "Let''s go then", Paulin finally said after thinking for a moment. Soon Paulin and others touched the white gemstone and disappeared into the thin air. ..... Inside the altar, The area looked like a big cave with many passages in it. It is very quiet and peaceful. Suddenly, a portal appeared in the quiet and peaceful cave. From the portal, a young men fell on to the ground with a ''thud'' sound. " ouch, I think I was a goner but where am I??", as he looked around, Lewis puzzled about the area he was in. As he was wondering, the same portal opened again above his head and this time, it released three young men on to the Lewis. "Bang...!", all three young men fell on Lewis, smashing him into the ground. " Where are we??, Ajay was the first one to ask as he surveyed his surroundings. "Maybe inside the altar, I guess", Paulin replied to ajax as he inspected his surroundings. " I think, it''s some kind of a trial", Jeff said when his gazended on the tunnels. "YOU CAN THINK ALL YOU WANT, AFTER GETTING OFF MY ASS", Lewis rough voice reverberated in the cave. " Oh...!", Now only ajax and others saw the Lewis, who was below them, bound to the ground. Soon they get off of him and assisted him to stand up. "Sorry Lewis, we didn''t saw you earlier", Paulin apologized Lewis. " No need for that brother Paulin, I am fine. They are just some scratches ", Seeing Paulin apologize to him, Lewis acted in modesty. " WELCOME YOUNG ONES", a monotonous voice came from one corner of the cave. "Who", Ajax and others instantly became alert and observed their surroundings. They saw a small white coloured light ball floating in the air from the corner of the cave in the direction of the sound. " Who are you??", Lewis asked when he saw the small white coloured light ball. "I am a wisp of spirit consciousness of the summoner king", the same monotonous voice came from it. " Ohh...!", "What?", Lewis and ajax got stunned to know that this small light ball is the legendary Summoner king''s spirit consciousness. " If you want my inheritance, then enter the tunnels individually and fight for it", the small light ball announced them to enter individually. "Can''t we enter together?", remembering the advice given by Udo and Edmond, Ajax inquired. " You can''t", after saying that, the small light ball faded away. "What should we do now, brother Paulin", Ajax consulted Paulin. " Since the legendary summoner king said himself that we can''t enter, then it''s better to enter separately", Paulin proposed after specting for a moment. "Ok then, I will enter this one", Jeff pointed towards a corner passage and entered. As soon as he entered the tunnel, it is sealed entirely and no one can even imagine there was a tunnel in that ce before. Chapter 47: Strength potion

47 Strength potion

Seeing the tunnel getpletely sealed, they understood, only I member can enter it before the tunnel gets closed. Soon, each one selected one tunnel and entered it. After entering the tunnel, Ajax walked for sometime before entering a huge spacious hall. ''Wee participant'', a familiar monotonous voice resounded in the hall drawing his attention. ''Kill five rank 1 beasts to enter the next level of phase 1 of the trial'' As soon as, the voice stopped, a portal opened and 5 spirit beasts simr to the Smander came out of it. They didn''t waste any time and rushed towards Ajax. "What the heck?at least give some time to prepare first", Ajax yelled in the direction of the monotonous sound, irritatedly. Although he was sounded irritated, he was more than ready in his fighting stance. " Since you are only rank 1 beasts, I will take you head on", Ajax mumbled confidently as he rushed towards them with full force. Seeing ajax dashing towards them, They ran, even more rapidly as they opened their mouths showing sharp teeth. When he was nearing them, Ajax bent down and gave a lower jab to the first smander, killing it instantly. ''Ding Killed a rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 10 units "What?", Ajax shocks to see the notification of his kill which is showing more units of the essence of nature is gained from the rank 1 spirit beasts that he killed in his first mission. But he didn''t have the time for it, as other four rank 1 beasts are growling at him. He darted towards another smander and smashed its skull with a punch and killed another one with a kick. ''Ding Killed a rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 100 units ''Ding Killed a rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 100 units Same system notifications saying 100 units of the essence of nature is gained appeared in front of him Shaking his head, his gaze fell on the remaining spirit beasts. Seeing three of their fellow beasts perished in a few seconds by a single attack each, they tried to run away as fear got into them. But there is no way out of the huge wall which is sealedpletely. Ajax didn''t run after them instead he slowly yed cat and mouse game with them, before killing them in a single attack. Although his cultivation level is only peak soldier realm, with the increment from the ''Sigmis ck pendant'', his strength is equivalent to that of the peak level 1 of the elite soldier realm. With that kind of strength, hepletely overwhelmed the rank 1 spirit beasts and killed them with ease. ''Ding Killed a rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 100 units ''Ding Killed a rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 100 units After killing them, he checked his spirit consciousness to see how many units he total has. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 620 units/2021units " System, why is the essence of nature I gained by killing rank 1 spirit beasts is more than outside the inheritance ground?", Ajax inquired the system about his doubt. ''Ding, The essence of nature is rich and abundant here and the Spirit beasts you killed, absorbed a lot of pure essence of nature. Whereas outside the inheritance ground, the essence of nature is less, thus the essence of nature you get killing the spirit beasts here is more than outside. "So, that''s why", Ajax understood it clearly now " It''s very convenient to increase the essence of nature here but I doubt that any more rank 1 spirit beasts wille in the next level", Ajax just shook his head in disappointment. ''Level 1 of Phase 1 ispleted, please collected your reward before going to level 2 of Phase 1'', the monotonous voice resounded as a door opened in the spacious hall. Just beside the recently opened door, a small ck box is ced on the ground. Ajax picked up the box and opened it. A small shining ss bottle filled with dark red liquid is ced in the box. "What is it?", Ajax doesn''t know what it is, So he touched the ss bottle to know about it through the system. ''Ding, Item name :- Strength potion Grade. :- Heaven Usage. :- By Drinking Effect. :- Increases physical strength by 3 times of original strength for 5 minutes. Side effects. :- None Rating. :- Very good " What?? it''s a strength potion but it has no side effects. How is it possible", Ajax didn''t dare believe what he is seeing on the holographic screen. ording to his knowledge, a strength potion can only increase 2 times the original strength with a reduced body stats for some time but the one in front of him increases the strength by 3 times with no side effects. "Good item", With that he stored it in inventory and swore to use it in an emergency only. " Now, to level 2", Happily, Ajax entered the recently opened room. Chapter 48: Level 2 of Phase 1

48 Level 2 of Phase 1

After Ajax entered the open door, it was sealedpletely like it never existed before. "Wee to level 2 of the phase 1 participant", the familiar monotonous voice of summoner King was resounding in the room, weing him. " Kill 10 rank 1 spirit beasts to enter next level", the voice assigned another task to reach the next level. As soon as the voice assigned the task, just like before a portal opened and the same smander spirit beasts came out of it. Although these Smanders looked the same as before, these are even more ferocious than before. "They look like peak rank 1 beasts", ajax thought to himself and surveyed his surroundings. But he didn''t find anything to his use and just concentrated on his fight. So he just activated his Sigmis pendent skill ''Summon of the dead'' and summoned 4 peak rank 1 undead wolves and 1 undead Spirit soldier to hold off some of the beasts. As soon as they were summoned, they darted towards the iing group of spirit beasts and started fighting. " I will save the elemental spirits for next levels", with that thought he used his ability ''Spatial des'' from behind, killing 2 spirit beasts. ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units Ajax didn''t examine the system notification and focused on another spirit beast. He used his summoned beasts to defend him while he used his ''Spatial des'' skill to ughter the spirit beasts into pieces. He constantly used 50 units of the essence of nature to mincemeat the spirit beasts. "50 units of the essence of nature are more than enough to kill these peak rank 1 spirit beasts and in return, I am getting more than two times of that amount", Ajax was over cloud nine when he thought of the easy essence of nature he was getting and released another spatial de at the Spirit beast that is near to him. ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units " Seven more to go", Ajax happily turned his head to look at the fight between the undead and spirit beasts. The undead wolves and skeleton are holding 7 spirit beasts hardly in control. Seeing these Ajax shook his head and released spatial des two more times killing two Smanders and got the system notifications. ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units Without checking the notifications, Ajax rushed forward to fight the spirit beasts without using ''Spatial des''. Although Ajax wanted to kill them quickly, he is not willing to waste the precious essence of nature, so he used his fists and legs to fight. Seeing Ajax rushing towards them, two of the spirit beasts turned their attention to him. With only 3 spirit beasts to fight, the undead wolves and skeleton got an upper hand. While Ajax repeatedly punched the two-spirit beasts, the undead wolves hunted the smanders in a group of 2 each, while the undead skeleton holding its own against a Smander. Soon the 4 undead wolves finished killing the two smanders and assisted the undead skeleton to kill another Smander. ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units .. ..... ..... ..... .... Ajax got many notifications in his head but didn''t check them out, as he was Punching thest smander. With a long shout, he punched the smander into the ground. "System, give me a summary of the battle", Ajax asked the system to give a summary. '' Ding, Host and his summoned undead creatures killed a total of 10 peak rank 1 rock Smanders. ''Ding, Consumed essence of nature:- 250 units. ''Ding, Gained essence of nature :- 1500 units. " Oh, it''s great I easily earned 1250 units of the essence of nature", Ajax cheerfully nodded his head when he saw the summary of the battle on the holographic screen. "Spirit Consciousness ", Ajax just thought about it in his head, ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 1870 units/ 2021 units " Just need some more units of the essence of nature to upgrade my realm to elite soldier", Ajax merrily thought about the next realm. "Participant sessfully killed all spirit beasts", the monotonous voice announced amidst his happiness. Soon a door to the next room is opened. " Please collect the reward before going to the next level", the same voice reminded him of the reward that is beside the open door. Chapter 49: Rank 2 Spirit beas

49 Rank 2 Spirit beas

" Please collect the reward before going to the next level", the same voice reminded him of the reward that is beside the open door. Ajax picked up the small box which is bigger than before and opened it. As soon as he opened the box, a light beam entered into his head directly. After the light beam entered into his head, he felt the same feeling when he learned the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique but the pain is very lesspared to that time. Soon some foreignnguage entered his head about a technique, his body moved ording to the information. In the starting, he moved slowly but as the time increased his speed also increased. "Woah", After running for a while, he halted and released an excited shout. ''Ding, Host learned a new movement technique. Check user interface for more information. "....???", Ajax didn''t understand what was going on and checked the user interface. ''Ding, Item name :- Cloud steps Grade :- low Heaven grade (upgradable) level. :- 1 Use :- Uses the essence of nature to increase the speed of the user. Description :- A movement technique that is developed by the Summoner king before he became powerful. rating :- Not bad " Oh, it''s developed by Summoner King? but why is this system showing it''s a rating ''Not bad''", Ajax puzzled about the rating given by the system. "Whatever, let''s enter the next level", Ajax didn''t bother about the system''s rating and moved towards the entrance of the next level. ..... In the cave where Ajax and his friends entered the trial tunnels, five young men stood in front of the trial tunnels and surveyed the tunnels. " Are you sure, they came here??", a young man with a huge hammer behind his back asked thenky young man behind him. "Yes, young master, they are definitely here. Their scent is all over this ce", thenky young man confidently said as he started again," Also, my ''mousy'' can''t miss lead us with its heaven-defying nose. " WELCOME YOUNG ONES", amidst their discussions, a monotonous voice came from one corner of the cave. "Who is it", Soon they became alerted " IF YOU WANT THE INHERITANCE OF THE SUMMONER KING, ENTER ANY OF THE PASSAGE INDIVIDUALLY", the monotonous voice which came from a small light ball faded away before they catch a glimpse of it. "I think, they entered into the tunnels young master", a young man from the behind spoke slowly. " Let''s split up and enter the tunnels, if you managed to find any of them, kill them. Do you understand??", the arrogant young man with the huge Hammer ordered his subordinates and entered one of the tunnels. Seeing their young master left, the remaining young men heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally, we are free from the tyrant", said thenky young man with a small white mouse in his hands. " Yes, What a relief", said another short young man. "But if we kill the one''s he is searching, he will reward us heavily", a young man with a small hammer on his back. " Ok, ok., let''s move quickly and try our luck with the inheritance", whispered thenky young man and instantly entered into a tunnel. Nodding their heads, others also entered separate tunnels. .... Back to phase 1 level 3 hall, As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the familiar monotonous voice, "Kill a low-level rank 2 spirit beast to enter the next level". Just like before, after the tone finished speaking, a portal appeared. From the portal, a ten peak rank 1 rock smanders appeared, confusing Ajax. But soon his confusion was cleared when he saw a rock smander which is bigger and more hideous than peak rank 1 rock smanders. " I think, it''s a low-level rank 2 rock smander", Ajax reckoned by seeing its appearance. Without wasting any time, he activated ''Summon of the dead'', instantly summoning his undead unit. To his surprise, the rank 2 rock smander didn''t assault him, just watched him. "I will kill these peak rank 1 rock smanders and collect the essence of nature to level up to elite soldier realm", Ajax spected to himself, seeing thezy rank 2 spirit beast. Soon he released his spatial des killing one rank 1 spirit beast whereas his undead unit killed one spirit beast. ''Ding, Consumed 50 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units Ajax didn''t have any mood for these notifications as he knows that he still didn''t have enough essence of nature to level up. But who knew that the rank 2 spirit beast will be angered just after killing 2 rank 1 beasts It rushed towards him with a roar. Before he can think of dodging it, it mmed him into a wall. Ajax slowly stood up and looked at the rank 2 rock smanders with hatred. Before he even stands steadily, the rank 2 smander rushed towards him. Chapter 50: System Emergency assistance

50 System Emergency assistance

With much difficulty, he released spatial des using 50 units of the essence of nature at its eyes and dodged the iing assault by an inch. The spatial des only made it close its eyes for a second, before rushing towards him again. "I will use 100 units then", with that thought, he expended 100 units of the essence of nature in releasing spatial des towards it. The 100 units of spatial des made some small cuts on it, which made it even angrier. " I think, I should use more units then", Ajax saw hope when some cuts appear on it and he tried to increase the amount of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host can''t expend more than 100 units when releasing spatial des due to Low cultivation. ''Ding, Please level up to the elite soldier realm to use more powerful spatial des. "What the...?", Ajax cursed the system when he saw the system notifications and dodged the attack of the iing beast. The rank 2 rock smander knocked itself to the wall behind him and shook its head. Amidst his cursing, he got more system notifications ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units Ajax felt his spirit consciousness is more than full and he felt like it will explode any time. Before he even knows what was happening to him, he got another batch of notifications. ''Ding, ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! The host''s spirit consciousness is full ''Ding, Activating, the system''s emergency assistance..... ''Ding, The system''s emergency assistance is activated Sessfully. ''Ding, Allocating the additional 249 units of the essence of nature to the elemental spirits. ''Ding, The host is safe now ''Ding, The spirit consciousness:- 2021units/2021 units Within a few seconds, he heard many system ding''s, which is made him impossible to understand but he browses them all once again hastily and understood. First, his undead wolves and skeleton sessfully killed four rank 1 rock smanders gaining him 600 units of the essence of nature. Second, his spirit consciousness became full with the 600 units of the essence of nature triggering a system emergency assistance, which allocated the additional units to his contracted elemental spirits. " Sigh....", Ajax heaved a long sigh of relief when he escaped the cmity of his spirit consciousness explosion. "Finally, I can level up to the elite soldier realm", without wasting time any time,? Seeing the ferocious spirit beast standing in front of him, he shouted at the system, " System upgrade me to the elite realm". ''Ding, The host didn''t meet all the requirements to breakthrough to the elite soldier realms. ''Ding, The host needs to have some more battle experience to level up to the elite soldier realm. "You f**king system, What are you saying at a time like this. Quickly upgrade my body cultivation to elite soldier realm without ying pranks with me", Ajax shouted at the system at the top of his lungs. The rank 2 spirit beast looked at him like ''What happened to him all of a sudden''. Soon Ajax got another four notifications of rock smanders being killed by his summoned undead unit. ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Killed a peak rank 1 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 150 units ''Ding, Distributing the additional 600 units of the essence of nature to the host''s three elemental spirits equally, After killing the rank 1 spirit beasts, the undead unit assembled before him. Seeing all its subordinates are killed, the rank 2 spirit beast enraged and the rock spikes on it becamerger andrger. ''Ding, The rock smander is using its innate ability, prepare to dodge it. " What, it''s using an innate ability", when he heard the system notification, he became anxious. Every spirit beast, when it reaches rank 2, it awakens an innate ability. This innate ability is the strongest ability for all rank 2 spirit beasts. Now, the spirit beast before him is using that strongest attack, so how can he not be anxious. As soon as the spirit beast before him used his innate ability ''rock storm'', the rocks from its back hovered in the air and came storming towards him. Although Ajax dodged some of the iing rocks, he can''t evade all of them. He was hit by one or two rocks regrly which left behind some bloody wounds on him. His undead summons was not as lucky as him though, they were killed instantly making Ajax sigh bitterly. After a few minutes, the rock storm was finally over. But Ajax was not in a good position and can barely stand, looking at the spirit beast in front of him angrily. Chapter 51: Level up, New System feature

51 Level up, New System feature

After using its innate ability the spirit beast visibly looked weak but still much stronger than Ajax though. Shaking its head, the rank 2 rock smander rushed towards Ajax with a roar, in an attempt to kill him in a single attack. "Come on then beast", Seeing the beast rushing towards him, Ajax, enduring his pain, also dashed towards it. The beast opened its massive mouth to swallow him in one piece when he came near to it. When it is about to swallow him, Ajax held the jaws of the beast with his body force for a few seconds before the beast shakes him off and throws him aside. "I think, I can kill this thing now", with a thought in his mind, Enduring his pain from the bloody wounds on his body, he rushed towards the beast. Seeing him rushing towards it, the rock smander opened its massive mouth again to gnaw him. " That''s it", seeing the beast opening its the huge mouth, Ajax held its mouth and released the Spatial des in its mouth in a close range using 100 units of the essence of nature and bounced back. The rock smander, which is weakened after using its innate ability is unable to withstand the close range spatial des. "Roar~", the rank 2 rock smander which is ferocious and hideous kept roaring and sumbed to death. ''Ding, Consumed 100 units of the essence of nature to release spatial des. ''Ding Killed a low-rank 2 rock smander The essence of nature gained:- 500 units " Huff", when he heard the system notification he heaved a sigh of relief and dropped down to the ground. "Congrattions to the host for aplishing the level 3 of phase 1", the monotonous voice resounded in the spacious hall. " Don''t forget to take your reward before heading to Phase 2", the voice reminded him of the reward. But he was not in the situation to inspect the reward as he didn''t even have any strength to move. ''Ding, The host satisfied the requirements for upgrading to the elite soldier realm. ''Ding, Do you want to level up to the elite soldier realm? "...", Ajax was speechless when he saw the notifications in front of him. Shaking his head, Ajax confirmed ''Yes''. ''Ding, Consumed 2000 units of the essence of nature ''Ding, Body cultivation :- Elite Soldier (level:-1) need 2200 units of the essence of nature break-through to the next level of the elite soldier realm. Soon, Ajax felt his body bing stronger and stronger. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness capacity is increased by 1000 units for reaching the elite soldier realm in body cultivation. ''Ding, With the Sudden increase in the Capacity of Spirit consciousness, host sessfully broke-through to elite spirit soldier level 1 ''Ding, New system feature ''Quest tab'' is unlocked ''Ding, Check the user interface for more details about the new feature. " What???", Ajax dumbstruck to see thetest notification about the increment of spirit consciousness capacity. "System, why is my spirit consciousness capacity increased by 1000 units?, also why, my spirit cultivation directly upgrades to elite soldier realm", Ajax inquired system about the increment. ''Ding, When a cultivator breath-through from soldier realm to the elite soldier realm, his spirit consciousness capacity will be increased by 1000 units automatically. ''Ding, For every 100 units increase in spirit consciousness, user levels up to one level, so 1000 units increment directly upgraded user spirit cultivation to the elite realm. Soon he understood the reason behind the increase in his spirit consciousness capacity and spirit cultivation upgrade. " I wonder, how much will it be increased in atter major break-through", Ajax anticipation aboutter realms intensified. But the system didn''t give any reply about his thoughts though. Finally, he studied his stats in the user interface to find out more about the new feature. ''Ding, Name :- Ajax race :- human Spirit consciousness :- 21 units/3021 units Main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 2) Body cultivation :- Elite Soldier realm level 1 Spirit cultivation technique :- Mysterious spirit cultivation technique (level 2) Spirit cultivation :- Elite Spirit soldier realm level 1 Movement technique :- Cloud steps (level 1) Number of elemental spirits :- 3 Equipped items 1) Item name :- Sigmis ck pendant Grade :- medium grade artifact (Evolvable) Effect :- 40% increase in user''s defence Special effect :- 20 percent increase in attack power when fight enemies.

Number of Summons avable :- 0/5. rating :-good Description :- It is the final product of sigmis, many years of hard work and research, However it is upgraded to medium grade with the help of upgrade stone. The unlocked system features :- User interface, inventory, inner world, quest tab. The holographic screen in front of him disyed all the details of him and the items. He noticed many changes in his stats. First, his body cultivation along with the spirit cultivation reached Elite soldier realm. Second, the movement technique, he recently, learned is appeared. Third, his undead summons is 0/5, which were died in the fight earlier. Finally, a new system feature at the bottom of his stats appears. He concentrated on the new system feature to know more details about it. ''Ding, Chapter 52: Bloodlust Spear

52 Bloodlust Spear

''Ding, Feature :- Quest tab Type :- Misceneous Uses :- Gives rewards forpleting the assigned missions. Current missions:- Not avable Description :- The quest tab gives the user some missions depending on the situation. Uponpletion of these missions, the user will be given rewards depending on thepletion rate, rating of the mission and other factors. Rating :- Helpful. "This looks just like a mission board at the mercenary guild, I wonder how good the rewards will be", Seeing the information of the ''quest tab'' in front of him, Ajax thought of the mission board at the guild and wondered about the rewards. " System, why there are no missions avable right now?", Ajax raised a question to the system ''Ding, The missions are randomly generated depending on the user''s situation, please check the description of the quest tab and don''t ask silly questions like these ever again. ".....", Ajax was speechless at the words of the system and shook his head. Soon, his gaze fell on the reward box which is much bigger than before reward boxes. "I should probably check the reward for this level 3", as he said that he stood up and moved towards it. When he broke-through to the elite soldier realm, his body waspletely healed without leaving behind any scratch on his body. Soon he went to the reward box and unlocked it. Inside the box,id a Blood-red Spear which is 3 meters long. " A spear??", As soon as he touched the blood-red spear, Ajax got the system notification about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Bloodlust spear Grade. :- Low-grade artifact (Upgradable) Skill. :- None Special effect:- A 5 per cent chance to inflict a 2-seconds stun when an enemy is hit by the spear. Description:- Originally a powerful weapon in the Summoner king''s weapon collection, with time it degraded from high-grade artifact to low-grade artifact. Rating. :- Not bad "Cool", Although it''s only a low-grade artifact, Ajax fell in love just with its glimmering appearance. " Let''s see, how it will be upgraded", Ajax concentrated on ''Upgradable'', which is in the grade section. ''Ding, The Bloodlust spear can only be upgraded using the blood of others. ''Ding, But before that, the host must synchronize the spear with his blood. "How do I do that", Ajax inquired system about synchronization. ''Ding, The host needs to seep a drop of blood on the spear and using his spirit consciousness to weaken its will and take control of it. " oh, that''s it??", nodding his head, Ajax lightly made a small cut on his finger and poured some blood on the tip of the bloodlust spear. As soon as the blood touched the tip of the spear, he shook with excitement and slowly absorbed it. When the spear is immersed in absorbing Ajax''s blood, his spirit consciousness which is more powerful than before, surrounded the spear. As if sensing something horrible, the spear stopped absorbing the blood. The spirit consciousness, which suppressed the bloodlust spear left behind a spirit mark on it easily and entered Ajax''s body. Only after sensing that then suppression is gone, the spear absorbed the blood rapidly. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, synchronization with the Bloodlust spear is done sessfully. ''Ding, Host can now store the Bloodlust spear in his spirit consciousness. "Come", With a simple thought in his mind, the spear hovered in the air and entered his spirit consciousness. " Although storing it, in my spirit consciousness is same as storing it in the inventory, it looks cool to control it with themand", Ajax felt cool whenmanding the weapon to move with just a sound. He checked his spirit consciousness to see the spear which quietly hovering in the middle, around it a red, green and ck coloured silhouette hovered. "I wonder, how they are doing", When he saw the silhouettes, he wondered about his contracted elemental spirits, who received an extra essence of nature from him by the system. " Come out", with a thought three silhouettes came out and bowed to him. "I, Volcanis, the fire elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", "I, Spirus, the life elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", "I, Necros, the death elemental spirit greets the Summoning master", Nodding his head, Ajax examined their levels ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Volcanis Element :- Fire type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 4) Skill :- Firest ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Necros Element :- death type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 5) Skill :- Confuse ray ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Spirus Element :- life type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 4) Skill :- Drain and absorb " Good, good, good", Ajax continuously said ''good'' three times when he looked at the levels of this elemental spirits. Volcanis, who is level 2 before, upgraded to level 4 directly now, whereas Spirus and Necros levelled up by one level each reaching level 4 and level 5 respectively. Nodding his head in content, he summoned them back into his spirit consciousness and looked towards the opened door to the next phase. "Now, let''s move to phase 2", Ajax shouted as he moved towards the opened door. Chapter 53: PHASE-2

53 PHASE-2

"Wee to Phase 2, Participant", a voice which sounded like a male voice, resounded in the roofless spacious hall, which is fully covered with white walls. Although the voice sounded like a male, still it sounded rtively monotonous. In the middle of the roofless spacious hall, a lengthy staircase which is leading to a floating ind, which is drifting among the clouds. " What the heck!", when he saw the stairs, Ajax frowned a little because there are many steps on the stairs. "Can I even reach that floating Ind?", Ajax muttered seeing the beautiful floating Ind. " Participant, when you reach the floating Ind, phase 2 will bepleted", The voice halted for a second before resuming, "The most important thing is when you are on the stairs, flying Spirit beasts may attack you. So pay attention to your surroundings". " What kind of trial is this, if you don''t want to give your inheritance to anyone then why did you create this inheritance ground for???", Ajax yelled at the voice but didn''t get any reply in response. "Sigh....., let''s just try it",? Taking a deep breath, he moved towards the white stairs which lead to the floating Ind. " Oh", as soon as he stepped on the first step of the stairs, he felt some light pressure on his body, which made him move slower. For Ajax, who made a breakthrough to the elite soldier realm now has the strengthparable to an ordinary level 8 elite soldier, this pressure is not enough to use his true strength to withstand. He casually walked along with the stairs until he reached the 99th step. But when he set his foot on the hundredth step, the pressure increased fivefold of the pressure on the 99th step, Which made him sweat and his knees bent a little. Now he used his elite soldier realm strength to withstand the pressure. As he heaved a sigh of relief, he heard a system notification in his head and looked at the holographic screen in front of him, which came along with the sound. ''Ding, Unusual energy which is surrounding the host, made the egg of the high-grade spirit beast react. ''Ding, The system suggests the host bring out the egg and let it absorb the unusual energy. The egg of the high-grade spirit beast, which he usually provides some essence of nature, is now reacting with some other energy which made him excited, so he took the egg out of the inventory. As soon as the egg appeared in his hands from the inventory, it crazily absorbed the unusual energying from the step. With the absorption of the unusual energy, the pressure on his body also decreased a lot. "You are doing a very useful thing even before you hatched, little fe. Come out soon, I will take good care of you", Ajax excitedly said, looking at the egg in his hands. As if it understood, the egg shook lightly and continued to absorb the energying from the steps. " Let''s move now", cing the egg in his robe, Ajax moved along with the stairs. He moved quickly without stopping anywhere until he reached the 249th step. He sensed the pressureing from the 250th step is huge, so he adjusts his body condition and slowly steps on the 250th step with all his strength. "I can move with this kind of pressure but if it''s increased again, I will have to rely on the unborn little fe", As he said that Ajax looked at the egg in his robe which is absorbing the unusual energy rapidly. " I think it will cost me a lot for its food when it''s hatched", Ajax jokingly said while looking at the egg. He soon resumed his journey but once again a hindrance came to him at around 310th step. This time it''s not the pressure from the step, instead, a group of Lightning Hawks are flying towards him slowly from a distance. Lightning Hawks are famous for two things, first one, it''s their beautiful white features and the second one is their speed. A low-level rank 2 lightning hawk can fly at the same speed as any other ordinary low-level rank 3 flying spirit beast. In that group, there are many rank 1 Hawks along with some rank 2 Hawks which are led by a rank 3 Lighting hawk towards him. "What should I do now??", Ajax instantly thought of an idea which made his eyes shine with some hope. "I think I should probably use this portion, otherwise it''s impossible to survive these Lighting hawks", Seeing the iing flock of Lightning birds, Ajax took out his strength portion to use in case of emergency. But even before the group of Lightning hawks came near to him, a system notification was heard in his head along with the holographic screen in front of him. ''Ding, A new mission is updated in the quest tab ''Ding, Please check the quest tab for more details. Chapter 54: First Mission

54 First Mission

Ajax shocked to see a new mission notification, without wasting any time he directly opened the quest tab and focused on the new mission. ''Ding, Mission:- Tame a Lightning Hawk Reward:- Depends on thepletion rate Duration:- three days Danger Rating:- ''C'' "You piece of sh*t", how can you deem it as an easy mission", Ajax cursed at quest tab when he saw that taming a Lightning hawk has an Easy danger rating. As he was cursing at the quest tab, the flock of lightning hawks neared him. The rank 3 Lightning hawk saw Ajax but didn''t bother with him. It looked at him as though he was an insect which doesn''t require it''s attention. Although he was angry, he knows he is not a match for the rank 3 Lightning hawk which made him helpless. Without even giving him a second look, the rank 3 Lightning hawk continued its flying leading other Lightning hawks. " Sigh...", Ajax heaved a sigh when he saw the Lightning hawks fly away. "I guess, my first mission is failure", Ajax bitterly shook his head looking at the mission on the holographic screen. "Whatever I will just ascend the stairs", after taking a small rest at the step, he started ascending again. Before he even climbs two steps, he saw a Lightning hawk, which is thoroughly covered in wounds, flying towards him from the same direction in which earlier Lightning hawks came. With much difficulty, it floated unstably. In a distance, it saw a step on the stair which it sensed a less pressureing from so it floated towards the step hoping to rest there. Soon it dropped on one corner of the stair with a ''thud'' sound. " What a heck!", Seeing the injured Lightning hawknded on the same step as he was in, Ajax got startled. "Maybe God is helping the poor me", Ajax thought now he had a chance to aplish his first mission from the quest tab and thanked God for helping him. With this notion, he moved towards it to inspect the wounds on it. As he was about to touch it Who would have guessed that injured Lighting hawk pecked his hand making a wound on him. " Ouch", Ajax cried in pain and stepped two steps back. "No wonder, even an injured rank 3 spirit beast can kill me with ease" Ajax looked at the injured Lightning hawk with fear. "But, I won''t give up on you", Ajax moved towards it again only to get another wound on his hand. " Calm down, calm down, I am here to help you, not to hurt you", Ajax knew it will understand him because a rank 3 spirit beast has a certain level of intelligence. But the Lightning hawk didn''t calm down, instead, it stood up and moved towards him to kill him. Ajax dodges the iing attack with ease as it was injured and summoned Necros and Spirus. "Necros try to confuse it", Ajax ordered Necros to use his skill ''Confuse ray'' at the injured Lightning hawk. " Although it is injured, it''s very hard to confuse it with my current level, master", Necros politely responded to Ajax. Before Ajax say anything, he continued, "but I will try to hold it back for a moment". " Just a few seconds will do", Ajax nodded his head in reply. Soon a ck-light entered into the injured lightning hawk from the Necros. After the ck-light entered into its body, the lightning hawk shook its head in confusion not understanding what happened to it. "Spirus, now heal it ", without wasting any time, Ajax ordered Spirus to use its skill. Soon Spirus went to the injured Lightning hawk and ced its hands on it and activated its skill. The hawk came out of its daze and looked at Spirus and then looked at the wound on its wing which is healing rapidly. It didn''t attack Spirus and looked at Ajax before for a moment before copsing on the step. Ajax heaved a sigh of relief seeing the copsing Lightning hawk and thought, " It didn''t attack Spirus now and looked at me. What is that ''look'' mean, is it a grateful one??", Ajax thought it looked at him with gratitude. "Master, with my current essence of nature, it''s impossible to heal itpletely", Spirus exined its difficulty to Ajax. " No problem, I can provide you with the required essence of nature", Ajax replied to Spirus and looked at his Spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 21 units/3021 units "I totally forget about it", Earlier he used 2000 units of the essence of nature to break through to the elite Soldier realm leaving him with only 21 units in his spirit consciousness. " I will cultivate here for some time then", Seeing more than 500 steps ahead of him, Ajax thought it''s better to have more essence of nature in his spirit consciousness in case of emergencies like this. With that, he summoned Volcanis and ordered to absorb the essence of nature around him along with others and he himself sat down to cultivate. Chapter 55: Elemental Spirit:-Vapora

55 Elemental Spirit:-Vapora

After half a dayter, Ajax finally opened his eyes after 12-hour peaceful cultivation along with Volcanis and Necros. As for Spirus, she was busy stopping the bleeding from wounds on the injured Lightning hawk which is still unconscious. "System, Spirit consciousness", without wasting any time, Ajaxmanded the system. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 456 units / 3031 units. Note:- 20 units of the essence of nature from the inner world are added to the spirit consciousness. "Oh, my spirit consciousness capacity has increased by 10 units. That''s great", Ajax excited when he saw the increment from the level 2 Mysterious spirit cultivation technique. "Now let''s see, how many units are required to upgrade her?", Ajax expectedly looked at the information of the Spirus. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name :- Spirus Element :- life type Cultivation :- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 4) Need 400 units of the essence of nature to reach level 5 of the Elemental spirit soldier realm. Skill :- Drain and absorb (Level 1) Need 1000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the skill to level 2. "Since I can''t upgrade her skill level anyway, let me upgrade her cultivation level", with that thought in his mind, he ordered the system, "Upgrade Spirus to level 5 then". The required essence of nature is within Ajax''s expected range, so he decided to upgrade the Spirus cultivation level to 5 which required 400 units of the essence of nature. Soon Spirus''s green body gleamed brightly for a few seconds and recovered back to normal. ''Ding, Consumed 400 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Life elemental spirit, Spirus reached level 5 of elemental spirit soldier sessfully. "Summoning master, although my skill level doesn''t increase, it became more powerful than before. Now I guarantee you that I can heal this injured Lightning hawk within one day", Spirus said with her elegant spirit body bowing to him. "Ok", but he thought he already wasted half a day here and can''t waste any more time now. "I can''t store any living beings in my spirit consciousness then how¡­.," While thinking, he suddenly thought about the use 1 of ''The inner world'' feature of the System. Use 1:- 1) to store both living and non-living things "Spirus, you can continue healing the hawk in the inner world", as soon as he ordered Spirus, with a thought, he sent her into his Inner world along with the injured Lightning hawk. "As for you two continue absorbing the essence of nature around you and follow me while you are at it", Ajax ordered his other two contracted elemental spirits after Spirus entered his spirit consciousness. "Yes, master", Volcanis and Necros both nodded their heads in unison. Ajax released them out because they can absorb the rich essence of nature in the surroundings. But what surprised him the most is, the unusual energy that is suppressing him didn''t show any effect on these elemental spirits. With an egg in his robe and two elemental spirits behind him, Ajax resumed his climbing. .... At another staircase to the floating ind, "Sister Vapora, since there is no pressure acting on you, you can absorb the rich essence of nature from the surroundings", a 15-16 year young girl said to a transparent blue colored figure beside her. The girl who looked very beautiful with a majestic looking blue robe on her is none other than Princess Daphne. The transparent figure beside her which is covered in a few robes is her contracted elemental spirit. she had iris-less blue eyes, and just looking at them makes one feel drowsy. A gentle smile can be seen on her transparent face. "Sure, master", the elemental spirit named Vapora said with a gentle smile on her face. "How many times I have to say not to call me like that", Princess Daphne said with an angry expression which made her even more beautiful and cute. "Sorry, sorry sister Daphne", Vapora quickly apologized. "That better, let''s move now", Princess Daphne resumed climbing the stairs. ...¡­ At another staircase, "I wonder how ajax and others are doing, I hope nothing bad happens to them", Paulin, the eldest among the young ones of the Hazegrove mercenary squad thought about his juniors while climbing the stairs. "In the previous level, my opponent is a low-level rank 3, if Ajax and others also encountered rank 3 beast, they will not make it out alive", Paulin sighed thinking about his previous trial in phase 1. If not for his Commander realm strength, he would have died there itself, so he continuously worried about his juniors. "I hope, the trial is based on the strength of the Participant, otherwise¡­.", shaking his head, he continued climbing. .... At the 499th step Ajax stopped there for a moment to stabilize his breathing. After stabilizing, he set foot on the 500th step a heavy pressure which made him kneel down on the step. The egg in his robe started absorbing the unusual energy at a rapid pace which made the pressure on his body be lesser and lesser. Ajax looked at the egg in his robe which is shaking and took it out to inspect it clearly. "Are youing out little one" Chapter 56: Destructive twilight Dragon

56 Destructive twilight Dragon

"Are youing out little one" Ajax excited to see the cracks appearing on the egg which meant the baby spirit beast ising out of the egg. As time went on the cracks on the egg became bigger and bigger. A small leg came out of the egg making a hole in it followed by the rest of its body. The baby spirit beast looked just like a small version of a dragon. It has small sapphire eyes with transparent winds and it''s only the size of an adult man fist. It looked its surroundings before looking at Ajax and moved toward him, stumbling. Seeing its stumbling, Ajax picked it up and observed it closely. ''Ding, Monster name:- Destructive twilight dragon. (Baby) (rank 1) Grade:- Legendary Type:- Darkness Skills:- Tough skin (passive skill) [Exnation:- Born with extremely hard skin which is impervious to heat, cold and other elements.] Innate skills:- Locked (it''s still a baby) Description:- A high-grade beast, where ever it goes, Destruction follows Rating:- Disaster "What??, this cute little thing is that dangerous", Ajax got shocked when he saw the Description about the dragonling. Suddenly, it bit his finger making him stunned. "Hey, what are you doing", he tried to shake it off but it didn''t open its mouth. ''Ding, The dragonling initiated the Spirit contract Would you ept the Spirit contract and allowed it to be your Spirit beast? A notification rung in his head. "Hey System, what the hell is this spirit contract??", Withstanding the pain, Ajax asked the system as he didn''t know about the Spirit contract. ''Ding, A spirit contract is a contract just like the one you made it with the elemental spirit, but here instead of the Elemental spirit, you are contracting with a Spirit beast. "ept the contract", understanding the meaning of the spirit contract, he epted it with hesitation. ''Ding, Congrattions host, to sessfully contracting a Legendary beast. Please take care of it carefully. "I will", Ajax smiled as he replied the system. The dragonling also opened its mouth releasing his finger and looked at him innocently. "Are you hungry, here take this", As he said, he threw a meat jerky that he prepared before entering the inheritance ground to it, but it just sniffed it and didn''t even bother looking at it again. "Huh, aren''t you being picky here", He stared at it and motioned is hand to eat the meat. In reply, it looked at its surroundings and its gaze fell on the eggshells from which it hatched. It soon ran stumbling towards the eggshells and chewed on them before swallowing them entirely. "What the heck!!", seeing it eating the eggshells he muttered, "is that even edible??" After finishing its eating, its size increased a little making him look at its level. ''Ding, Monster name:- Destructive twilight dragon. (Baby) (mid-level rank 1) ".Eating a few eggshells made its rank jump from low-level rank 1 to mid-level rank 1", Ajax got one shock after another. It looked at ajax before climbing a higher step and closed its eyes. "Is it cultivating with the unusual energying from the step?", as he thought he moved to the next step which has less pressure he felt on the 500th step. "I guess, this is probably done by the little one", thinking that he looked at it with awe. It soon opened its eyes and before looking at Ajax it proceeded to the next step. "Hahaha", With augh, he followed it. . . . At the 999th step A visibly tired-looking Ajax and a small dragon which has reached one-meter in height and a body full of small horns closed its eyes as some unusual energy entered into its body. "Is it going to break through to rank 2??", as Ajax followed it all the way from the 500th step to until now, on every step the baby dragon closed its eyes for some time and moved to next step removing a huge pressure on him. At around 650th step, it broke through tote rank, and at around 800th step, it reached peak rank 1, just an inch away to break through to rank 2. "It''s all thanks to you, little one, otherwise I would have suffered a lot", Ajax said to himself as he looked at it. Finally, it set its foot on the final step as it broke through to rank 2 immediately with the energying from the Last step. "Sigh...., it took me a whole day to reach this floating ind", Ajax heaved a huge sigh of relief when he stepped on thest step. "CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE PARTICIPANT TO COMPLETE PHASE 2 OF THE TRIAL SUCCESSFULLY, PLEASE COLLECT YOUR REWARD ", As soon as he set his foot on thest step he heard a loud voice informing about thepletion of Phase 2 of the trial. Chapter 57: Rewards

57 Rewards

"CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE PARTICIPANT TO COMPLETE PHASE 2 OF THE TRIAL SUCCESSFULLY, PLEASE COLLECT YOUR REWARD ", As soon as he set his foot on thest step he heard a loud voice informing about thepletion of Phase 2 of the trial. Out of nowhere, a big ck box suddenly appeared in front of the entrance door to the floating ind. But his focus was not on the box instead he is looking at the baby dragon which is squatting in front of him. He looked at the baby dragon which has recently broken through to rank 2. The baby dragon which is only 10 centimeters at the time of birth now reached a height of 1.5 meters. " It just transformed from cute to ferocious", Ajax thought with looking at it. Not only its height increased but also it additionally learned two new skills, one normal and other is an innate ability. ''Ding, Monster name:- Destructive twilight dragon. (Baby) (low-level rank 2) Grade:- Legendary Type:- Darkness Skills:- [1] Tough Skin (Passive skill) [Exnation:- Born with extremely hard skin which is impervious to heat, cold and other elements.] [2] Poison Breath (Active skill) [Exnation:- Using the essence of nature, it releases a poisonous gas through its mouth.

It is triggered only when the dragon is angry.] [Cooldown time:- 24 hours] Description:- A high-grade beast, where ever it goes, Destruction follows Rating:- Disaster "It has not been 24 hours since it was born, but it already reached rank 2" Ajax looked at it in awe and terror. "Whatever, since it is contracted with me now, I guess it can be controlled", Ajax muttered in his head as he looked at the ck box. "Let''s see the reward for climbing these arduous 1000 steps" with an expectant look, Ajax went towards the big ck box with the baby dragon behind him. As he opened the big ck box, he saw a shiny red-colored stone. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire essence gem (rank 3) Use:- Can be used to break through major realms [Note:- Can be used by the cultivators below Commander realm effectively] Description:- An essence gem formed in a rank 3 fire spirit beast. Rating:- Good When he touched the stone, Ajax got a system notification exining about it. "Oh, it''s a rare essence gem used for breakthroughs", Ajax already knows about essence gem and their uses, but he is unable to identify the essence gem at a look. "Since I can''t use you now anyway, you can take a rest in the inventory ", Ajax kept the essence gem in the inventory and looked at the big ck box and cursed it, "You look bigger but you gave me a small essence gem, waste box, waste box". As he was cursing it, he soon got a series of system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The first mission of the quest tab ispleted sessfully. ''Ding, The elemental spirit, Spirus sessfully tamed the Lightning hawk. ''Ding, Calcting rewards...¡­. ''Ding, Host sessfully tamed a Rank 3 Lightning hawk, directly increasing the rating to ''S'', grade. ''Ding, A low-grade primitive crystal is stored in the inventory. ''Ding, A low-grade elemental spirit crystal is stored in the inventory. "Huh, Primitive crystal??, elemental spirit crystal??", Ajax confused with the rewards as he didn''t know anything about them. It''s not Ajax''sck of knowledge, even if Edmond was in his ce, he would not know about them either. With a thought, a small stone with mysterious runes on it appeared in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Low-grade Primitive stone. Use:- To purify the bloodline of a spirit beast Description:- A mysterious stone that helps a spirit beast to purify its bloodline. Higher the bloodline, lower the chances to purify Rating:- Excellent Nodding his head, he took out another stone from the inventory and focused on it. ''Ding, Item name:- Low-grade elemental spirit stone Use:- To level up a level 1 elite Spirt soldier elemental spirit directly to the level 1mander elemental spirit. Description:- When an elemental spirit dies, it will be faded into the surroundings, leaving behind an elemental spirit stone. Rating:- good "It''s my luck, my luck,ohohoh ", Ajax shouted like crazy before calming himself. "I will use itter", Ajax thought as he said, "Now, let''s enter phase 3" With a thought, he recalled all his elemental spirit into his spirit consciousness and sent the baby dragon into the inner world where Spirus and the Lightning hawk are ying. Seeing the sudden entry of a baby dragon, the Lightning hawk became alerted but calmed down when Spirus patted it. The baby dragon didn''t bother itself with others and went towards the small ability tree and slept peacefully. Ajax shook his head when he saw the actions of the baby dragon and went to open the doors to phase 3. Chapter 58: Magnificent Fountain

58 Magnificent Fountain

As soon as he went inside the door, Ajax mesmerized by the beauty of the scenery inside. Actually it looked like an open space with colorful butterflies that are attracted to blooming flowers, Birds chirping on therge trees, and a magnificent fountain in the middle which continuously raising shining water. Ajax noticed some young men and young women around the fountain. He observed all the 15 or people and soon found a single familiar person standing alone at a corner with a worried expression on his face. "Senior brother paulin", Ajax shouted at the person and ran towards him. "Huh..", the person with a worried face is none other than Paulin, who is worrying about his juniors, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, a smile appeared on his face and waved at Ajax. "Senior brother Paulin, How are you?", Ajax already saw the worried expression on his face, so he asked about it indirectly without directly asking the reason for his worry. "I am fine. What about you, you look tired", Paulin replied and asked the same question to Ajax with a smile. "Yeah, I am terribly tired climbing those stairs", with a somewhat angry expression on his face he replied and after controlling his rage, he asked, "What about Lewis and Jeff?". As soon as he mentioned about lewis and Jeff, Paulin replied with a worried face, "I don''t know". Now Ajax understood the reason for Paulin''s worry andforted him, "I believe they are final, senior brother. No need to worry about it" Although he said that, he also worried about them but didn''t show it out. "Hey, brat, where is your whole team", Amidst their chatting, two young men with a small andrge hammer behind their backs came towards them and the one with a huge hammer behind his back questioned Ajax arrogantly. "I guess, they became food for the Spirit beasts in Phase 1, Young master, Hahahaahha ", the one with a small hammer said and startedughing loudly attracting the attention of others. "Where are your servants young master of the Hammergust family", Ajax countered with the same question seeing only two members in their group. "You..", as he was about to raise his hand to teach a lesson to Ajax, a loud siren rung for a few seconds gaining the attention of all people present in the area. "WELCOME TO THE FINAL PHASE OF THE TRIAL" a gruff voice sound weed all the people who were present in the area. "LET ME EXPLAIN ABOUT THE FINAL PHASE, LISTEN CAREFULLY" the gruff voice continued. "IT CONSISTS OF THREE TESTS FIRST TEST:- TALENT TEST, EVERY CULTIVATOR, BE IT A BODY CULTIVATOR OR SPIRIT CULTIVATOR, TALENT IS VERY IMPORTANT", pausing for a moment, the voice continued, "SECOND TEST:-FORTUNE TEST, LUCK PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN EVERY CULTIVATOR''S LIFE" the voice paused again to let the participants digest the information and continued again, "FINAL TEST:- YOU WILL KNOW WHEN ITS TIME", the voice didn''t reveal anything about thest test making the young ones impatient. But all they can do now is to wait and pass the two tests to know about the final test "NOW FOR THE FIRST TEST, COME ONE BY ONE AND PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE APTITUDE FOUNTAIN" "I guess me going there is not a problem for anyone, right?", Nedhor''s slow voice heard by everyone. Seeing the ''No objection'' on everyone''s face the Young chief of the Fire Sword Sect moved towards the fountain staring at Ajax calmly. Just by a gaze from the Nedhor, Ajax shuddered unconsciously. Soon Nedhor reached the magnificent fountain and ce his had on the corner of the fountain. As soon as he ced his hand on the fountain, the water level raised from two meters to ten meters, and the colour of the water changed from colourless to orange colour. "GOOD, A FIRE AFFINITY WITH A HIGH-LEVEL MORTAL GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST" The same gruff sound announced the results of his talent. "Hahahaha", Nedhorughed loudly without moving from the fountain. "NOW MOVE ASIDE", seeing him not moving the gruff voice resounded again making some fellow young menugh. With a look from him, all of them stoppedughing. Remembering the faces of those whoughed at him, he returned to his junior brother Vadel and said him to test his talent. Nodding his head, he soon touched the fountain, the water level raised to 5 meters, and the water is changed from colourless to orange. "NOT BAD, A FIRE AFFINITY WITH A MEDIUM-LEVEL MORTAL GRADE TALENT, PASS", the gruff voice announced the result and continued, "NEXT" Although his talent is not high, Vadel was pretty much satisfied with his talent and moved to his original position to wait for the next test. "Thanks for showing respect for the Combat king sect", Soon a young man moved towards the fountain along with a simr-looking young man as they thanking others without even asking. But no one said anything, because they are not a match for them. "Senior brother, look at their faces, they are scared just hearing our sect name, Hahahah", the young man walking behindughed as he said. "Yes, but wait for some time, both Assassin sect and fire sword sect will kneel in front of very soon " the senior brother replied with a smirk on his face. Chapter 59: Earth Grade Talen

59 Earth Grade Talen

"GOOD, AN EARTH AFFINITY WITH A HIGH-LEVEL MORTAL GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST" the gruff voice announced the results. "Senior brother congrats", the younger brother from thebat king sect congratted his senior brother. "It''s just a basic test, you can also do it better", the senior brother coolly said. Without dying anytime, the junior brother ced his hand on the fountain, which raised the water level to 12 meters, and the colorless water changed to dark brown. "EXCELLENT, AN EARTH AFFINITY WITH A LOW-LEVEL EARTH-GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST" the gruff voice announced the results. All the surrounding fellow young men shocked and envied the junior brother of thebat king sect. "Woah brother, see, didn''t I said you will do better", senior brother praised him. "Thanks for your confidence in me, senior brother", junior brother acted modestly in front of his senior brother. While talking they returned to their original ce to wait for the next test. "Brother, thesebat king sect disciples should be eliminated, otherwise they will be a threat for our Fire sword sect", Vadel whispered to Nedhor slowly. "We will see", Nedhor didn''t put them in his eyes, so he didn''t bother about it much. Soon Princess Daphne along with her only two bodyguards went to the fountain and ced her hand which raised the water level in the fountain to the 15 meters height "WONDERFUL, A WATER AFFINITY WITH A HIGH- LEVEL EARTH-GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST, NEXT" the gruff voice announced the results loudly than before. It raised anothermotion among the elite youngsters. "You can test your talent", with a smile, Princess Daphne ordered her bodyguards. "Yes, Princess", both of her bodyguards said in the unison. Their talent is barely enough to pass the test as they got only medium-grade talent. The royal family team left quickly after their result. Soon the young elites from the five main families along with their one brother or no one following them. Actually, all the young elites who participated in the inheritance ground didn''t make it to Phase 3 making their friends and brothers worrying. Only one young master was survived from every main family except Hammergust family whose servant survived and reached Phase 3. But what happened to all the other servants who entered with them is still unknown. The great three sects are also not an exception, the Fire sword sect, and Combat king sect now only have two members in each group. Assassin sect is even worst, even one member from their sect didn''t make it to the final Phase. As for the Hazegrove mercenary squad, only Ajax and Paulin reached the final Phase. Lewis and Jeff didn''t make it. When Ajax''s turn came, he internally asked the system about his talent. ''Ding, Here I guess, the summoner king is testing their aptitude, if it''s really aptitude, then you have got a High-level Heaven grade talent. With the system exnation, Ajax''s expression became worse and quickly asked the system, "Can you conceal my aptitude??". ''Ding, If the test is really about aptitude, then the host need not worry, I can conceal the host''s aptitude but if the test is not about it, I can''t help the host. After hearing the system''s reply in his head, Ajax calmed down a little and asked Paulin to go first to check his talent. "Ok, Ajax", Nodding his head, Paulin ced his hand on the fountain. Suddenly the two-meter water level raised to 15 meters and the colorless water changed to Dark blue. "WONDERFUL, A WATER AFFINITY WITH A HIGH- LEVEL EARTH-GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST, NEXT" the gruff voice announced the results with the same intensity as when it announced Princess Daphne''s results. "Congrats brother Paulin", Ajax was happy for Paulin and congratted him. "Thanks, Ajax", Paulin replied with a small smile. Next Ajax moved forward to ce his hand on the fountain but he got a system notification in his head. ''Ding, What level should I show your Aptitude "High-grade talent is fine", Ajax said after thinking for a moment. ''Ding, The host''s aptitude is now shown as High-grade mortal talent to others. With a confident look in his eyes, he ced his hand on the talent fountain. Without any surprise, the water level raised to ten meters, and the watercolor is still colorless. "GOOD, NO ELEMENT AFFINITY WITH A HIGH-GRADE TALENT, YOU PASSED THE TALENT TEST" the gruff voice announced the results. "What a loser, he has no affinity with any element" "Waste" "Loser" The surrounding people who are the young elites regarded Ajax as trash and spoke badly. "Don''t take their words to your Ajax", Paulin consoled Ajax because he thought it will make inner demons in his heart and affect his cultivation. "Who will take their words to heart anyway", Ajax jokingly said to Paulin. When they heard Ajax''s words, the surrounding people erupted but stopped when they sensed the strength of Paulin who has around the same strength as the young elites of the three great sects. After their test, they returned to a corner to rx. Chapter 60: Simple Luck Tes

60 Simple Luck Tes

Soon everyone tested their talents. Among the originally present 15 or so participants, only 12 participants passed whereas three young men got eliminated. As for the elimination, the three young men only got low grade or low-level mortal grade talent. As soon as they got their results as low grade, a portal opened behind them and sucked the three participants individually. "LOW-GRADE TALENT, TEST FAILED. SENDING THEM OUT OF THE INHERITANCE GROUND" the gruff voice announced loudly. When everyone saw how the three young men got eliminated, they felt relieved and stopped worrying about their friends and brothers who didn''t make it to the final phase. Because they thought, there is a small chance for them to return safely. But still some worried though. Among the 12 qualified participants, only two, Princess Daphne and Paulin have got the highest talent, i.e., High-level earth grade talent ording to the talent fountain, following them was abat king sect disciple with low-level earth grade talent. Most of them got a medium level mortal talents, whereas the arrogant young man from Hammergust got a high-level mortal talent. "NOW MOVING TO THE SECOND TEST" the gruff voice alerted the 12 participants sitting around the fountain. "THERE ARE 12 CHESTS ABOVE THE TALENT FOUNTAIN", as soon as the voice said that, 12 golden-colored chests appeared out of nowhere above the fountain. "EVERYONE WILL BE GIVEN ONE CHEST, IN WHICH VARIOUS TREASURES ARE PLACED BY ME, THE SUMMONER KING, BUT HALF OF THE GOLDEN CHESTS ARE EMPTY", the gruff voice paused for a second and continued, "IF YOU GET AN EMPTY CHEST YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE INHERITANCE GROUND, NOW DISPERSE". After the voice said ''DISPERSE'', all 12 golden chests are distributed to the 12 participants. Soon everyone started opening the golden chests. "Hurray, I got an ability fruit ", a young man cried with happiness. "Hahahah, I got Heaven grade medicinal pill", another young man shouted in joy. "Wait, isn''t is unfair", a cultivator from the main family shouted loudly, looking at the young men who got a treasure in their golden chests. As soon as he shouted a portal appeared behind his back and sucked him into it. After that portal, another five portals appeared sessfully sucking the five young men. "Ajax, what did you obtain", Seeing all the empty chests disappeared Paulin asked ajax with a smile. "A mysterious seed", Ajax replied, what he saw in the system holograph. ''Ding, Item name:- Mysterious Unknown seed Grade:- Unknown Uses:- Unknown Description:- A mysterious seed found by the summoner king in one of his adventures, but he was unable to figure it what it is. Rating:- Above good (I guess) "Huh, let''s ask Edmond after we return. Keep it safe until then", Looking at the dark purple colour seed, Paulin suggested Ajax to keep it safe for know. "Hm. What did you get senior brother Paulin", Ajax asked Paulin looking at the bracelet on Paulin''s hand. "I think, it''s a low-grade artifact which provides a certain amount of the essence of nature when I need", Paulinughed and continued, "I named it Essence provider bracelet". "Cool, brother Paulin, your luck is very good", Ajax half-jokingly envied Paulin. Among the 12 participants, only six remained in the trial area kicking the other six out of the inheritance ground. The six remaining participants are Princess Daphne from the royal family, Nadhor from the fire sword sect, Ajax, and Paulin from the Hazegrove mercenary squad, the junior brother from thebat king sect andst one is the arrogant young master from the Hammergust family. Among these six participants, Ajax and Nedhor are the only ones who have the least talent of only high-level mortal grade talent. Even the arrogant young master from the Hammergust family has a low-level earth grade talent, the same as the one from thebat king sect. Princess Daphne and Paulin have got the highest level talent among the final participants. "CONGRATULATIONS FOR MAKING INTO THE FINALS YOUNG ONES " a small white light ball materialized in front of them along with the gruff voice. "A SMALL ADVICE BEFORE STARTING THE FINAL TEST, IF ANYONE WANTS TO LEAVE THE INHERITANCE GROUND, YOU CAN LEAVE WITH SOME GIFTS FROM ME, BUT ONE WE START THE FINAL TEST, IT CAN COST YOU, YOUR LIFE", the fist-sized light ball advised slowly. All six participants showed no reaction and stayed motionless. "OK THEN, BUT DON''T REGRET YOUR DECISION AFTERWARDS", seeing nobody reacted the gruff voice continued, "THE FINAL TEST WILL HAVE ONLY ONE WINNER AND MY INHERITANCE WILL BLESSED TO THAT WINNER". All of them know that most of the inheritance grounds will bless inheritance to only one person, only in rare cases can it gives more than one, so they didn''t any shock or whatever. "THE FINAL TEST IS RELATED TO SUMMONING, SO BE CAREFUL AND DON''T MISS THIS CHANCE WHICH COMES VERY RARELY IN YOUR LIFES", the small white ball voice sounded all mysterious increasing the curiosity of the participants. Chapter 61: Elemental Spirit World

61 Elemental Spirit World

"THE FINAL TEST IS RELATED TO SUMMONING, SO BE CAREFUL AND DON''T MISS THIS CHANCE WHICH COMES VERY RARELY IN YOUR LIFES", the small white ball voice sounded all mysterious increasing the curiosity of the participants. "THIS TEST IS CALLED SUMMONER TEST", the gruff voice paused for a moment and continued, "IN THIS TEST YOU WILL BE SENT TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS OF THE ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WORLD". "What???", "How is this possible to send a human to the spirit world?", "Can we even survive there?" "Even if you go there, what should we aplish there?", All the participants asked in the direction of the fist-sized white ball. "HAHAHAHAHAHA", a loudugh came from the small white ball for a few seconds before continuing, "I AM USING A HIGH-LEVEL TELEPORTATION GATE AND YOU WILL BE HAVING MY PROTECTION FOR THREE HOURS, SO YOU HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION IAM ASSIGNING TO YOU WITHIN THESE THREE HOURS OTHERWISE, YOU WILL DIE". "What is the mission, summoner king?", Princess Daphne asked politely to exin to them more about the mission. "AREN''T YOU A UNIQUE ONE", the gruff voice sounded curious when he replied to Princess Daphne as he continued, "IN THE GIVEN THREE HOURS, EVERYONE MUST CONVINCE AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH YOU". "What happens if any participant is unable to get a contract with an elemental spirit in those three hours", Nedhor from the fire sword sect asked. "YOU WILL DIE, HAHAHAHA", the gruff voice from the small white ballughed loudly. When they heard the final words of the summoner king, every participant shuddered. Soon a veryrge portal opened beside the talent fountain. "EVERYONE ENTER THE PORTAL QUICKLY. FROM THE MOMENT YOU ENTER THE ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WORLD, DON''T WASTE ANY TIME. GOOD LUCK. HAHAHAHAHA", the small white ball faded away with a loudugh after finishing its words. Soon Nedhor, Princess Daphne, Luis Hammergust (arrogant young master from the Hammergust family), and Juan Marsh (junior disciple of Combat king sect), all rushed into the portal. "Ajax, Good luck", Paulin also rushed into the portal. "Good luck to you too, senior brother Paulin", Ajax also returned a ''Good luck'' and rushed behind him into the portal. "INTERESTING, INTERESTING. THERE ARE SOME INTERESTING YOUNG ONES IN THE GROUP, LET''S SEE," after everyone rushed into the portal, the summoner king''s gruff voice resounded in the area. ... In the Elemental Spirit world, "Wow, is this the elemental spirit world?" Ajax wondered when he observed his surroundings which is full of four essences of nature namely Fire, Water, Earth, and Life. "I think, If I can cultivate with my level 2 Heaven and Earth elemental refining technique in here, I canpletely fill my spirit consciousness within half a day", Ajax thought with shining eyes. "But, I only have three hours of time to contract an elemental spirit" Ajax sighed at hisck of time and wondered in which direction should he advance. "Summoning master, please let us out". "Huh" as he was wondering, he got a telepathic voice in his head from one of his contracted Elemental Spirit. Since they were his contracted elemental spirits, they canmunicate telepathically, so Ajax didn''t surprise to hear their voice in his head. Lest he already became used to hearing different voices in his head Soon he summoned all his elemental spirits. "How long has it been since I, Volcanis returned to the Elemental World," The fire elemental spirit said while experiencing the feeling of returning to its homeworld. Ajax stared at Volcanis for a moment and shook his head with a smile on his face. "Huh, sorry summoning master for spacing out earlier," Volcanis apologized. "No need to apologize for such a small thing," Ajax smiled and continued, "Spirus, why did you sent a telepathic message earlier". "Master, the essence of nature in the elemental spirit world is much richer than the master''s world, so if we stayed outside it will help us be powerful without even cultivating and we, the elemental spirits can help the master in contracting another elemental spirit within three hours", the life elemental spirit, Spirus exined slowly to Ajax. "Huh, sorry about that. I totally forget about you. You can stay outside and absorb the rich essence of nature around here", Although he is their master, he apologized to them. "No no no, master", All elemental spirits stopped him. After apologizing to them, he asked, "You said you can help me with the contract, is it possible?". "Of course, we can help you by convincing the elemental spirit", Volcanis replied for his question and continued, "But it is not possible for all elemental spirits to be convinced just by words". "It depends on the master''s strength and capability to convince other elemental spirits into contracting with you, Master", Nodding his head, Necros with hisrgemouth said after Volcanis. "Anyway, I will ask for you help if need until then you can focus on your cultivation", Understanding the meaning behind their word, Ajax said them to focus on their cultivation. "Whooo dhares toh Anter mi hom ", As he was talking to his elemental spirits, a childish voice came from the ground beneath them. Chapter 62: Elemental Spirit:- Slai

62 Elemental Spirit:- i

"Whooo dhares toh Anter mi hom ", As he was talking to his elemental spirits, a childish voice came from the ground beneath them. Even before Ajax and his elemental spirits can react, thend beneath them turned soft and started swallowing them. But Ajax, as an elite spirit soldier and an elite body realm soldier easily managed toe out of the small sand dune carrying the elemental spirits out along with him. "Master, I think we came across a recently born elemental spirit", Spirus jovially said to Ajax. "Then is it easy to contract with it?", Ajax asked puzzledly looking at Spirus. "It is very easy, as long as you trick it, it can easily sign a contract with you?", Volcanis also said happily. "Let''s get the contract done quickly", Ajax was over the moon as he said that. "Hoow can yoh eshcape pfrom mi cand dune", A small yellow-colored silhouette materialized from the sand dune. "Woah, it''s super cute and chubby", Looking at the yellow-colored silhouette Ajax thought in his head. "Hey, do you want to be powerful?" Ajax asked the yellow-colored elemental spirit in front of him. "Of course I want to be powerful", Without thinking even for a second, the small earth elemental spirit replied to Ajax''s question. "If you enter into the master-servant rtionship I can help you be more powerful than you imagine", Ajax slowly convinced the elemental spirit. Actually what he said about helping it bing powerful is not a lie. He will really help it be powerful if it can sessfully be his contracted elemental spirit. Although it looked small about only around 1 to 1.5 meters, it thought for a while scanning the elemental spirits behind the weird being in front of him. "These elemental spirits look stronger than me, I think he is saying the truth", as the small elemental spirit thinking to itself, the life elemental spirit used its soft voice to convince it, "Little brother, don''t hesitate, the summoning master is right and he will surely help be powerful like us" while pointing at Volcanis and Necros, Spirus acted as a big sister and treated the earth elemental spirit as a little brother. "Ok, I will ept the contract but you shouldn''t go back on your words," the small earth elemental spirit said seriously to Ajax, which made him thought, "Hooh, cute". Soon, Ajax ced his hand on the earth elemental spirit and a system notification came, ''Ding, Do you want to contract the Earth Elemental Spirit? "Yes", Ajax excitedly answered the system. ''Ding, Forming a Master-Servant contract with earth elemental spirit..... ''Ding, The Earth Elemental Spirit is not opposing the host''s will. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a Master- servant contract with an Earth Elemental Spirit. "Huh, is it that easy??", Ajax wondered is forming a contract is always this easy. When he was contracted to the elemental spirits earlier in the System test zone, he felt some pain in his head but due to the urgency at that time, he didn''t have any time toin about it, but now it was over within a few seconds making him puzzled. "Maybe because I am an elite spirit soldier, it didn''t hurt my head, and also my spirit consciousness is muchrger than before", Ajax thought to himself and looked at the information of the small Earth Elemental Spirit. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- it Element:- Earth-type Birth:- Born in a Sand dune which has rich earth essence of nature in it. Cultivation:- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 1) Need 100 units of the essence of nature to reach level 2 of the Elemental spirit soldier realm. Skill:- Sand Dunes (Level 1) Need 1000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the skill to level 2. Skill Exnation:- A 10-meter area on thend can be turned into Sand dunes which absorbs a multiple targets into it. Rating:- Good "It has some good skill", Ajax was in a good mood as he got the contracted elemental spirit without any effort but he puzzled about the level of the elemental spirit. "Why the elemental spirits always have level 1 spirit soldier strength only but not more than that?", Ajax wondered as "Since the elemental spirits always live in such an extremely rich environment why can''t they level up". "An elemental spirit can only absorb the essence of nature after contracting a summoner. Even they try to absorb before contracting, they will explode without even leaving an elemental stone", Necros, with hisrge mouth exined about the problems of the elemental spirits. Nodding his head, Ajax ordered, "Since wepleted the main task at hand, should we cultivate here?". "Yes", Everyone, including the newest member, nodded his head excitedly. After forming a contract, he understood many things which are he didn''t understand before. "Before that shall we give a small boost to the little it in his cultivation", Ajax wanted to level up his chubby elemental spirit first before cultivating Chapter 63: Elemental Spirit:- Limu

63 Elemental Spirit:- Limu

"Before that shall we give a small boost to the little it in his cultivation", Ajax wanted to level up his chubby elemental spirit first before cultivating Not understanding the meaning behind his words, the chubby elemental spirit looked at Ajax curiously, wondering what he gonna do. "System, Spirit Consciousness", ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 323 units/ 3041 units System note:- 20 units of the essence of nature are added from the inner world and the capacity of the spirit consciousness is increased by 10 with the help of the mysterious spirit cultivation technique. "Huh?" Ajax was shocked to see his essence of nature. Because, it''s been only a little over an hour since he came to this elemental spirit world and he already umted 200+ units of the essence of nature, without even using his main cultivation technique. "System, upgrade little it" ''Ding, Consumed 100 units of the essence of nature ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Soldier:- (level:-2) need 200 units of the essence of nature to reach level 3 "System, again", Without wasting any time, Ajax asked the system to upgrade again. ''Ding, Consumed 200 units of the essence of nature ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Soldier:- (level:-3) need 300 units of the essence of nature to reach level 4. Elemental spirit name:- it Element:- Earth-type Cultivation:- Elemental spirit soldier (Level 3) Need 300 units of the essence of nature to reach level 4 of the Elemental spirit soldier realm. Skill:- Sand Dunes (Level 1) Need 1000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the skill to level 2. Rating:- Good After two back to back level-ups it, who looked small earlier now increased in the height, reaching 2.5 meters. But what didn''t change is its chubby immature face. "Hahahaha, I became stronger with a casual wave from the master", the chubby elemental spiritughed loudly with a smug look on its immature face. The elemental spirit''s words also became clear when he leveled up to level 3. Actually, he wanted to use elemental spirit stone on it but it will be a waste to use it here since the earlier stages are very easy and with the help of the rich essence of nature in the elemental spirit world, it can level up easily here. So he refrained from using the stone. "Ok, now everyone cultivates here until our time is up" after he said that, Ajax casually sat and thought, "If spirit beasts can also have a chance to cultivate here, I would have been best but..sigh ". Earlier when he tried to summon the baby dragon and Lightning hawk, the system alerted him to not summon then as there is no protection for them from the summoner king to survive in the elemental spirit world. "Yes summoning master", All four elemental spirits bowed and left to cultivate in suitable locations. Volcanis chose a rich fire essence area and started his cultivation, Spirus chose an area withrge green trees which are filled with the life essence of nature. Whereas Necros went somewhat faraway for a location with death essence of nature. As for the chubby earth elemental spirit, it entered in the sand dune it created to cultivate. "System, notify me before the trial time is finished", Seeing his every contracted elemental spirit entered their natural locations to cultivate, he ordered the system and started his cultivation. Soon, everyone started their cultivation without wasting any time. ..... Somewhere in the elemental spirit world, A young girl in the majestic blue robe looked at the blue transparent being that just came out of the water. Behind the young girl, another blue transparent being is standing respectfully and watching the other blue transparent being. They are none other than Princess Daphne and her contracted elemental spirit. The blue transparent being that came out of the water has two shiny eyes monitoring its surroundings from the thin eye sockets. A t nose rests below, but it''s the shallow mouth below that takes all the attention. A shy smile reveals two small canines and a small tongue. Small round ears sit on each side of its small, pointy head and have two horns protruding from the sides. "Can you be my fellow-servant serving the master and we can be stronger together ", Vapora with its iris-less eyes asked seducingly with a small smile on its transparent face. "Yes, of course of course", the being that came from the water nodded its head at the Vapora with saliva dripping from its mouth. "Big sister Vapora do I have to form a contract with it?", Princess Daphne asked Vapora with a terrible expression on her face. "Yes, Sister Daphne, only then can we have a chance to get the inheritance", The elemental spirit convinced Princess Daphne to form a contract. "But, that thing is ugly", muttered Princess Daphne and without a choice, she formed a contract with that ugly blue elemental spirit. Because they already wasted more than an hour just to find an elemental spirit and if she rejected it, she may be unable to find other elemental spirits that are willing to form a contract with her, so she epted the contract. "Finally, I, Limu found a master and a beautiful elemental spirit as a fellow servant, Hahaha", afterpletion of the contract that blue elemental spiritughed loudly. Chapter 64: Elemental Spirit:- Glacious

64 Elemental Spirit:- cious

"Finally, I, Limu found a master and a beautiful elemental spirit as a fellow servant, Hahaha", afterpletion of the contract that blue elemental spiritughed loudly. "Sigh...", seeing the excitement of the elemental spirit Princess Daphne sighed. "Sister Daphne, since we havepleted the task given by the summoner king, why don''t we cultivate here", Vapora, the water elemental spirit suggested Princess Daphne. "Sure", Princess Daphne who is at level 6 of the elite soldier realm in body cultivation and level 1 of the elite spirit soldier realm epted Vapora''s suggestion quickly. Because she wanted to breakthrough to themander realm as soon as possible so that she can have something to back her when she wants to oppose her royal father. At least she thought so. "If I reachmander realm soon, then I can finally have a chance to enter that ce", She muttered to herself as he sat down to cultivate. At every major realm, the Spirit cultivator can contract an elemental spirit, so if she broke through to themander realm and contracted another elemental spirit, she thought she can have a chance to oppose her father by entering that ce. Soon she and her two water elemental spirits concentrated on cultivation. .... In a random location of the elemental spirit world, "Human kid, if you can defend my attack without your cultivation and managed to survive then I am willing to form a master-servant contract with you", a white and blue colored elemental spirit dered to Paulin loudly. "Sure", Paulin, with his carefree behaviour epted the request of the elemental spirit in front of him and examined it closely. The elemental spirit has two clear eyes with wide bent ears sat on each side of its long, thin head. Its average muscr body stands straight. Two broad arms rest at its sides, gentle hands with long fingers, each with broad nails. As soon as he epted the deal, the elemental spirit rushed towards him with a water de in its hand in order to cleave at him. Paulin stood where he was and didn''t move. He was looking straight into the eyes of the elemental spirit eyes calmly. The elemental spirit increased its speed even more and cleaved at him. But the sh didn''t harm him instead, it helped him refresh his mood. "How do you know that I didn''t intend to harm you", the elemental spirit asked Paulin wondering why the human in front of him didn''t dodge his attack. "Because of those clear eyes", Paulin started his exnation, "From those eyes, I know that you are not some insane elemental spirit who wants to kill wantonly, so I didn''t dodge your attack, lest you would have wounded me, even then I can form a contract with you". "You got some nice observation skills there, Human kid. I am very much willing to serve such a master with keen skills ", The elemental spirit bowed and said to Paulin respectfully. Although all elemental spirits want to be stronger they aren''t willing to ce their lives into the hands of others without any knowledge of what kind of man/woman their master is? In Ajax''s case, he saved three elemental spirits in the test zone from the undead lord, so they willingly asked Ajax to be his servants and the recent earth elemental spirit is immature as it was born very recently and tricked by him into a contract with him. But many elemental spirits will test their future masters before bing his/her servant. If they are not qualified then they will not ept the contract even at the cost of their lives. Soon, the water elemental spirit formed a master-servant contract and entered into Paulin''s spirit consciousness. As it entered into his spirit consciousness, the information about the spirit entered into his mind. "Come out cious", Paulin summoned out the water elemental spirit from his spirit consciousness. "I, cious, is waiting for summoning master''s order", the elemental spirit bowed a knight''s salute respectfully. "Since the essence of nature here is rich, let''s cultivate here until summoner king calls us", with that he started cultivating, whereas his contracted elemental spirit entered into the water to cultivate. Before cultivating, he didn''t stop worrying about his junior brother, Ajax though. ¡­. Soon, almost the three hours time given by the summoner king ispleted. ''Ding, Wake up host, there is only a couple of minutes left for the three-hour time. ''Ding, Soon, summon back all the host''s contracted elemental spirits back. The system notifications woke up Ajax from his cultivation with made him almost cursed at the system but since he was the one asked t remind it when the time was up, he slowly stood up. Without looking at the progress of any of his elemental spirits, he summoned them into his spirit consciousness. As soon as he summoned them back, a portal appeared in front of him. Without hesitating, he entered into the Portal quickly. Author''s note :- 1000 Power stones = 2 Extra chapters So don''t forget to vote guys Chapter 65: INHERITOR

65 INHERITOR

Ajax teleported to a cave, which is very that he can''t see anything. As he was wondering, what to do, a cave brightened with a small white light ball. With the brightness, he can see there are other participants and Paulin was also among them. Ajax waved at Paulin and tried to move but he was unable to move from his position as though he was restricted by some kind of force. Paulin also waved at him but he didn''t move because he already felt the restriction. "WELL DONE YOUNG ONES, YOU ALL DID VERY WELL" "I DIDN''T EXPECT ALL THE PARTICIPANTS CAN CONTRACT AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT" "BUT ONLY ONE PARTICIPANT CAN GET MY INHERITANCE" the summoner king''s gruff voice resounded in the cave with some halts in his sentences. "Sigh...", All the participants sighed at thest sentence. Although they know that only one can get the inheritance they nevertheless sighed. "BUT THE REMAINING PARTICIPANTS DON''T NEED TO WORRY, AS I PREPARED SOME AWESOME TREASURES FOR THEM", seeing their sighing, the gruff voice said again to cheer them up. "Yayyy", the participants cheered at the words from the light ball. Suddenly, the cave became dark. "What happened?" "Where did the summoner king go?" "Why can''t I still move?" All six participants shouted in panic. ''HEY BOY, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?'', a familiar gruff voice sounded din Ajax''s head. ''Ajax'', Although, he was stunned for a moment, he replied recovering himself from the shock. Ajax was very much habituated to the sudden voices in his head, so he was able to tell that this voice belongs to the summoner king. ''YOU HAVE SOME DEEP SECRETS WITHIN YOU. SINCE YOU''RE ABLE TO FORM A CONTRACT WITH AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT QUICKLY, YOU ARE THE ELIGIBLE CANDIDATE TO RECEIVE THE INHERITANCE'', the voice paused for a second and continued, ''BUT, IT SEEMS YOU ALREADY HAVE MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED INHERITANCE WITHIN YOU''. ''...'', Ajax was unable to say anything at the sudden words of the summoner king. ''IF I GIVE YOU MY INHERITANCE, IT WILL NOT HELP YOU ANYWAY, SO I WANT TO GIVE IT TO OTHER PARTICIPANT, WHAT DO YOU SAY?'', the voice asked Ajax slowly. ''This, this¡­., okay'', Ajax stammered at first but epted with a reluctance giving some face to the summoner king. ''OK, THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING BOY, BUT YOU DON''T NEED TO WORRY, AS I WILL GIVE THREE ADDITIONAL REWARDS TO MAKE UP FOR IT'', understanding the heart of a not even 15-year-old human boy, the summoner king said, he will reward him with three things. As soon as he heard about extra rewards, Ajax smiled from ear to ear. ''DID I TRICKED BY A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY'', the summoner king thought to himself and shook his head smiling. Soon the cave brightened again with the appearance of the small white light ball. "NOW THEN, I WILL ANNOUNCE MY INHERITOR. MY INHERITANCE WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE ONLY YOUNG LADY AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS" "CONGRATULATIONS YOUNG LADY FOR BECOMING MY SUCCESSOR, COME FORWARD TO RECEIVE THE INHERITANCE", the gruff voice from the small white light ball resounded in the cave. When the participants heard the result, except Ajax and Paulin, remaining participants'' eyes burned with jealousy and muttered something to themselves. As soon as Princess Daphne came forward the white light ball entered in her head. "CLOSE YOUR EYES AND CONCENTRATE", before the light ball entered into her head, these words are spoken by the summoner king towards Princess Daphne. "Okay", nodding her head, Princess Daphne closed her eyes and concentrated on the light ball that entered into her head. After a few minutes, the light ball came out of her head, whereas she still closed her eyes and focused on the newly gained knowledge. "NOW, FOR THE REMAINING PARTICIPANTS, I WILL GIVE YOU AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT STONE OF COMMANDER REALM ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WHICH HELPS YOUR CONTRACTED SPIRIT TO DIRECTLY REACH LEVEL 1 SPIRIT COMMANDER REALM FROM LEVEL 1 ELITE SPIRIT SOLDIER LEVEL 1" "ALONG WITH A LOW-LEVEL SPIRIT CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE", the summoner king was generous with his rewards making the other participants cheered. ''BOY, I WILL ADDITIONALLY HELP YOU REACH PEAK ELITE SOLDIER REALM IN BOTH BODY CULTIVATION AND SPIRIT CULTIVATION PLUS I WILL GIVE YOU A BLESSING'', the summoner king''s gruff voice sounded in Ajax''s head. ''Blessing?'', Ajax was over the cloud nine when he heard that the summoner king can help him level up but he wondered about the blessing. ''YES, MY BLESSING WILL HELP YOU WHEN YOU ENTER THE ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WORLD WHEN YOU REACH 15-YEARS OLD'', the gruff voice sounded somewhat impatient when it exined about blessing. "How can I enter, then", Ajax puzzled at the words of the summoner king and asked anxiously. "YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU DO, BUT I SUGGEST YOU DON''T USE THE ELEMENTAL STONE I AM GIVING YOU NOW, IT''S A SPECIAL ONE, SO USE IT ON YOUR OFFICIAL ELEMENTAL SPIRIT", the gruff voice suggested Ajax to not use the elemental stone now. "Wha...", Ajax''s wanted to ask more questions but he was interjected by the summoner king. Author''s note :- 1000 Power stones = 2 Extra chapters So don''t forget to vote guys Chapter 66: Return

66 Return

"EVERYONE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR COMMANDER REALM ELEMENTAL SPIRIT STONES", as the summoner king said that, 5 stones appeared in front of everyone making them excited. ''HEY BOY, I AM INJECTING A SMALL ORB FILLED WITH VERY RICH ESSENCE OF NATURE MIXED WITH MY POWER AND A MYSTERIOUS TECHNIQUE INTO YOUR BODY AND ALSO THE FINAL REWARD IS MY BLESSING IS ALREADY IMPLANTED ON YOU'', the summoner king''s gruff voice sounded in Ajax''s ears. As soon as he felt something enter into his body, a series of system notifications rung in his head. ''Ding, Summoner king blessed you with his protection, please check its uses in the user interface. ''Ding, Some mysterious energy orb is entering into the host''s body ''Ding, Do you want to use it? ''No'', he silently rejected it, since there are others here which will make him target if he suddenly leveled up to peak elite soldier realm. ''Respected summoner king, how can I use the blessing'', Ajax silently asked. ''It will be automatically used, so you don''t need to worry'', the gruff voice replied impatiently. "OK THEN, YOUNG ONES, MY PROJECTION''S TIME IS UP. I HOPE WE WILL MEET YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. NOW GO", as soon as he said go, a portal appeared below them and swallowed all the six participants. "WHICH SUMMONING MASTER''S INHERITANCE DID THAT KID GOT. HE CAN ALREADY CONTRACT AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT WITHOUT EVEN REACHING 15 YEARS AGE", the summoning king muttered after all the participants were swallowed into the portal. "I HOPE HE DOESN''T FALL BEFORE REACHING HIS FULL POTENTIAL¡­.sigh", he sighed. ...¡­ In front of the Inheritance ground entrance, Suddenly a portal appeared throwing six people out of it and disappeared without a trace. "Captain, look Ajax and brother Paulin came out", the always-excited Lewis shouted loudly in Edmond''s ear, pointing his finger in the direction of six people. "I know, I know. I am not blind", Edmond pped Lewis on his head as he replied. "Grand Elder Lin, Princess Daphne is returned safe and sound from the inheritance ground", a young man in the soldier attire informed Grandpa Lin at the return of their young princess. "Ok, alert everyone to get ready. I don''t want any ambushes to happen when we return to royal capital", Old man Lin ordered the young men. "Yes, Grand Elder Lin", the young men rushed back quickly to alert everyone. After ordering him, the old man Lin walked towards the entrance. The six young participants stood up from the ground and removed the dust on their clothes and walked towards their respective camps. "Brother Paulin and Ajax, how did it go?", Lewis asked them, as soon as they met with Edmond and others. "Although we didn''t get any inheritance, we got something invaluable from the inheritance ground", Paulin acted mysteriously and didn''t reveal the thing that quickly. In his heart, he was relieved to see both Lewis and Jeff are fine. "Brother Paulin, stop acting mysterious and say quickly", Lewis started pestering Paulin continuously. "Hey Lewis, stop bothering your senior brother", now Udo smacked Lewis. "Ok ok", as he said that, his gazended on Ajax. "Also, not him", Edmond came from behind and continued, "You guys may be tired, let''s go back to our residence and fresh up first, we will continue after that", Edmond soon left with his mercenary squad. No one remained there, as soon as their young elite member returned to their camp, they quickly left. ¡­.. As soon as they entered their residence, all went to fresh up and rx. ¡­. Next day morning, The Hazegrove mercenary squad members sat in the main hall. "Lewis and jeff, what happened to you both, why didn''t you make it to the final phase", Paulin asked both of them. "Those damned cursed step", Lewis cursed at the steps as he continued, "I was unable to cross after reaching 499th step, but I set my foot on that step mustering all the strength I had which sted me out of the inheritance ground via a portal", Lewis gritted his teeth and replied. "Same with me", Jeff Keenaxe replied shortly after that. "Now, it''s your turn to exin what is the mysterious thing you got in the inheritance ground", Lewis asked curiously. "I will not say", Lewis disappointed at Paulin''s words but the next sentence made his eyes shine, "But I can show you". As soon as Paulin finished his words, a white and blue colored transparent being appeared in front of everyone. "Everyone meet my contracted elemental spirit, cious. He is a dual elemental spirit", Paulin introduced his elemental spirit to everyone. Except for Ajax, everyone including Edmond and Udo was also shocked. "Paulin but you said, you didn''t get any inheritance yesterday, but", before Edmond can finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted, "The elemental spirits are not considered as an inheritance because the final six participants got a contracted elemental spirit each for themselves, including me" Chapter 67: Breaking the Energy Orb

67 Breaking the Energy Orb

"Paulin but you said, you didn''t get any inheritance yesterday, but", before Edmond can finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted, "The elemental spirits are not considered as an inheritance because the final six participants got a contracted elemental spirit each for themselves, including me". Onpleting his words, a chubby earth elemental spirit appeared in front of him. "This is my contracted elemental spirit, it. it, say hello to everyone", Ajax introduced it to everyone. "Hello everyone, nice to meet you", it politely greeted everyone. "Cool", Lewis and Jeff eximed in unison. "How can you contract an elemental spirit without natural awakening?", Edmond puzzled and asked Paulin and Ajax. "Actually, we entered the elemental spirit world and ¡­...", Paulin exined everything about entering the Spirit world and about the rewards and who the inheritance. "It''s a better thing that the inheritance was obtained by the royal family if it has been any of the sects or main family it leads to a bloody war" Edmond expressed his views about the inheritor. "Why it would lead to a bloody war if the inheritance is obtained by others?", Ajax asked wondering the reason behind it. "It''s about power, the royal family is monopolizing the Zrochester province and it has the power to handle the inheritance", Edmond paused for a second and continued, "If it is obtained by any other sect or family, the royal family would have erased that family, which will help the sects and main families, a reason to form an alliance and lead an all-out war with the royal family causing a great inconvenience to normal people and low-level cultivators ", Edmond finished exining about the power struggles between the sects, main families and the royal family with a sigh on his face. Except for Ajax, Paulin and others have some knowledge about the power struggles. Even then, all listened to Edmond carefully. "Ok then, everyone go back and utilize the rewards you got from the inheritance ground. I will assemble you when the next mission is ready", Edmond ordered everyone to go back to their rooms. Nodding their heads, everyone left for their rooms. ¡­. In Ajax''s room, As soon as he entered the room, he thought about his revenge. "There are many strong sects and families, I think one of them had a hand in the massacre or lest they would have some kind of information about assassination at the Silver Orphanage", Although he doesn''t know that whether he was true or not, he swore to himself that he will find out with the clue left behind by the assassin. "But, I am still very weak whenpared to them, I will try to quickly enhance my strength", with that he sat cross-legged and activated the small energy orb in his spirit consciousness. The energy orb is one of the rewards from the summoner king to Ajax in the exchange for the inheritance. ''Ding, Activating the energy orb in the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, It will be painful, so please bear with it otherwise the host may lose his life. "So be it, I am not afraid of pains", Ajax already know that with instant poweres unbearable pain. But he was willing to bear with the pain rather than remaining weak. Soon the small energy orb crushed and a wave of powerful essence of nature with some kind of mysterious power along with it flowed all over his body making his bones break and attach them together. When his bones broke he felt a sting of intolerable pain from his bones. He thanked the 18 mysterious body postures he practiced when he was small. Because these 18 mysterious body postures which were given to him by Elder Boron helped him stay focused even with unbearable pain. But the bone break and attach process repeated several times. With each time, the pain increased making him almost give up but he continued to bear with it. Amidst his painful process, system notification continuously rang in his head. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 2 elite soldier realm sessfully. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 3 elite soldier realm sessfully. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 4 elite soldier realm sessfully. . . . . ''Ding, The host leveled up to peak Level 10 elite soldier realm sessfully. The process stopped after ten times which made Ajax heave a long sigh of relief. But after that process, another process urred in his spirit consciousness. The essence of nature from the energy orb then rushed into his already full spirit consciousness and forcefully expanded it, which made him bite his tongue to not lose his focus. Same as before, the system notifications continuously rang in his head. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 2 elite spirt soldier realm sessfully. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 3 elite spirt soldier realm sessfully. ''Ding, The host leveled up to Level 4 elite spirit soldier realm sessfully. . . . . ''Ding, The host leveled up to peak Level 10 elite spirit soldier realm sessfully. After nearly 2 hours of the painful process, the pain subsided and Ajax fell on his bed and heaved a sigh of relief. Chapter 68: New Skills

68 New Skills

"I nearly lost myself there", Ajax sighed about him losing his focus when experiencing the pain from the process of increasing his spirit consciousness. "But I finally managed to endure it, thanks to the suffering from the 18 mysterious body posture, his body can endure more pain than others of the same age or above", he constantly praised the body postures but he was wondering why they are not recognized by the system. "Whatever, let''s check my newly upgraded stats", with that thought in his mind, hemanded the system to show his information from the interface. ''Ding, Name:- Ajax Age:- 14 year Cultivation techniques:- Heaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 2), Mysterious spirit cultivation technique (level 2), Cloud steps (level 1) Body cultivation:- Peak Elite soldier Spirit cultivation:- Peak Elite Spirt soldier Spirit consciousness:- 2800 units/ 4999 units Contracted Spirits:- Spirus, Volcanic, Necros, it Ability:- Spatial des "Woah, my spirit consciousness took another huge leap, hahaha", Ajaxughed when he saw his spirit consciousness. After that, he focused on his body cultivation ''Ding, Body cultivation:- Peak level 10 Elite soldier. Need 4999 units of the essence of nature to break through to themander realm. "As expected, each increment in the major realm needed more essence of nature", nodding his head, he checked his spirit cultivation. ''Ding, Body cultivation:- Peak level 10 Spirit Elite soldier. Need 5000 units of the Spirit consciousness capacity to break through to themander realm. ''Ding, There will be no increase in the spirit consciousness capacity until host breakthrough to the Commander realm in body cultivation. "What?, no increase in the spirit consciousness capacity until I reachmander realm", Ajax shocked to see thest system notification as it was not in his expectations. ''Ding, A new mission is avable in the Quest tab, please check it. Amidst his shock, he got a system notification. Soon he checked quest tab ''Ding, Complete any B danger rating mission from the Mercenary guild mission board. Rewards:- 1) Promoting, the user tomander realm in body cultivation directly. 2) A new system feature 3) ::::::::::::::::::::::( If thepletion rate is above ''A'', then an additional reward will be added to the list. Condition:- The host needs toplete the mission individually. Duration:- 30 days. "This mission looks cool, I can pick whatever mission in the ''B'' danger rating section and finish it up quickly and enter themander realm", Ajax nned his next events carefully. "Now, let''s check the elemental spirits level", soon he summoned his contracted elemental spirits to look at their levels. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Spirus Element:- life type Cultivation:- Elite Elemental Spirit soldier (Level 1) Need 2200 units of the essence of nature to reach level 2 of the Elite Elemental spirit soldier realm or can absorb the essence of nature from the spirit stones and from the surroundings, Skill:- 1) Drain and absorb (Level 2) 2) Bless (Level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Volcanis Element:- Fire type Cultivation:- Elite Elemental spirit soldier (Level 1) Skill:- 1) Firest (Level 2) 2) Fire asteroid (Level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Necros Element:- Death type Cultivation:- Elite Elemental spirit soldier (Level 1) Skill:- 1) Confuse ray (Level 2) 2) Undead Summoning (Level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- it Element:- Earth-type Cultivation:- Peak Elemental spirit soldier (Level 10) Skill:- 1) Sand dunes (Level 1) As soon as he saw the new cultivation levels and new techniques, Ajax was over cloud nine and smiled from ear to ear. "Except for Litte it, everyone broke through from soldier realm to elite soldier realm and gained an additional skill and also their previous skill level increased to level 2, saving me a 1000 units of the essence of nature for each skill ", Ajax seriously calcted the savings from the skills level up and scanned their skills. ''Ding, Bless:- When elemental spirit casts this skill (or spell), within a 100-meter range the allies get a continuous heal for five minutes. (Note:- It can''t revive the dead allies) Cooldown time:- 1 hour ''Ding, Fire Asteroids:- When activated this skill, a fire asteroid is summoned from the sky, doing the damage to enemies in a 10-meter radius in the direction in which the spirit points. Cooldown time:- 30 minutes ''Ding, Undead summoning:- Summons a creature from the undead world with the same strength of the elemental spirit. Cooldown time:- 30 minutes (after the death of the summon) "Cool", when he saw the description of the skills Ajax amazed a lot "These skills are only at the level one and they are already awesome but the cooldown time is high", Ajax muttered as checked the level 2 requirements which required 1000 units of the essence of nature each to upgrade. So he left it there. "Now, I have elemental spirit stones of a soldier realm and amander realm but the summoner king suggested me to not use them now, I wonder why?", Ajax thought back to the words of the summoner king in the inheritance ground and didn''t use the elemental stones for now. "Since I can''t use the elemental spirit stone now then I will use the Primitive stone" ****************** If you like the chapter, Vote and Gift me Thanks for reading Chapter 69: Elemental Spirit Commander

69 Elemental Spirit Commander

"Since I can''t use the elemental spirit stone now then I will use the Primitive stone", Ajax thought to himself and summoned the Destructive twilight dragon from the Inner world. As soon as it came out, the baby dragon came near to Ajax''s leg and rubbed affectionately. In return, Ajax lifted it up and patted its small head. "Let''s see, how useful the Primitive stone", as he said, he took out the stone from the inventory. ''Ding, Item name:- Low-grade Primitive stone. Use:- To purify the bloodline of a spirit beast "System use it one the baby dragon", hemanded the system to use it. ''Ding, The system suggests that the low-grade primitive stone is not effective on this spirit beast as it already has a high-level bloodline. ''Ding, Do you want to use it? "No", Ajax directly ejected it without any hesitation and summoned the rank 3 Lightning hawk. When it came out of the inner world, the Lightning hawk shuddered in the presence of the Twilight Dragon. Seeing that, Ajax sent the baby dragon back into the Inner World. After sending it back, Ajax looked at the information of the Lightning hawk which is grasping for breath. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Lightning Hawk Grade:- Low-level rank 3 Loyalty:- Friendly (barely hanging between Friendly and Neutral) Skills:- 1) Lightning speed:- Moves very fast (Innate ability) 2) Lighting Eagle w:- Its ws are shrouded with lightning essence of nature when attacking. (Active Skill) 3) Hawkeye:- When marked a target with this skill, the target will never escape from its sight (Active) Description:-Contains a small amount of lighting dragon blood in its body which helped it achieve rank 3 in a very short time. "It has some nice skill there and also has a small amount of lightning dragon blood in it, I think the primitive stone can improve it ", Ajax nodded his head at its skill and asked the system to use the primitive stone. The motionless primitive stone in his hand floated towards the Lightning hawk which swallowed the stone quickly. ''Ding, A low- grade Primitive stone is consumed by the Lightning hawk. ''Ding, Purifying and increasing the blood of the Lightning dragon in its body. Ajax carefully observed the changes that are urring to its body. Its feathers slowly turned into a pure snow white and its body size is growing continuously and it only stopped increasing when it reached 3 meters in height. ''Ding, Lightning hawk''s bloodline increased sessfully and have a 50% of lightning dragon bloodline in its body. ''Ding, Congrattions to host, the Lightning hawk reached mid-level rank 3. "Huh, it not only increased its bloodline but also achieved a breakthrough", Ajax soon checked if it got any new skills in its information and found one new skill. ''Ding, Thunderstorm:- The lightning hawk uses itsrge wings to create a storm and moves in that storm with lightning speed. As long as it stays in that storm, its invincible under rank 4 and can fight normal low-level rank 4 spirit beasts. "It''s an excellent skill to fight higher rank beasts", Ajax patted the Lightning dragon hawk. That''s right after evolving, its name changed from lightning hawk to lightning dragon hawk. He sent the hawk back into the inner world which kept some distance from the baby dragon. After that, he checked his inventory for any items that he missed. "Huh, an essence gem", He found a rank 3 essence gem in the inventory and didn''t use it because, the system already reminded him, he has to finish the mission to break through and other methods can''t help him to breakthrough. "Next, I have to take a trip to the mercenary guild to pick up a mission. But before that, I have to convince Captain Edmond", Ajax prepared to say about going on a mission individually. As soon as he came out of his room, he sensed powerful energy emitting from Paulin''s room which changed his direction from Edmond''s room to Paulin''s room. Before he can even reach his room, the powerful energy stop emitting. When he entered the Paulin''s room, Ajax saw an elemental spirit much powerful than his own elemental spirits. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- cious Element:- Water- Ice dual element type Cultivation:- Elemental spiritmander (Level 1) Skill:- 1) Water-Ice sword (Level 3):- A sword formed by water or ice as chosen by the elemental spirit. 2) Water-Ice shield (Level 2):- A shield formed by water or ice as chosen by the elemental spirit. 3) Cavalry (Level 1):- A rank 3 spirit horse is summoned and used as a mount in the battles and when the elemental spirit is mounted its strength is doubled. "What the heck!", Ajax shocked by seeing the skills of Paulin''s contracted elemental spirit. "Ajax, no need to get shocked over a small thing. I just used themander elemental spirit stone", Paulin thought, he was shocked to see themander realm elemental spirit but what he doesn''t know is that he was shocked because of the high-level skills of the elemental spirit. "Hmm", Ajax controlled his shock and got some understanding about the level of the skills. Chapter 70: Second Mission

70 Second Mission

"So with every major breakthrough, the skill level of the elemental spirit increases one level", Ajax thought to himself understanding the skill level pattern of the elemental spirits. "Ajax, at what level is your contracted elemental spirit now?", Paulin asked the Ajax who seemed to be thinking something. "Huh", Ajax woke up fro his thoughts and replied to Paulin, "It has reached peak spirit soldier, senior brother paulin". "No problem, once it reaches the elite spirit soldier realm, you can directly use themander elemental spirit stone and upgrade it tomander realm easily, then we can have boundless future in front of us", Paulin encouraged Ajax to cultivate his contracted spirit. "Yes, brother Paulin. If you don''t mind, I have something to talk to Captain Edmond", Ajax politely left from Paulin''s room. Soon, he reached Edmond''s room. "Come in", as he was about to knock his door, Edmond told him toe inside. "What is it, Ajax?", Edmond asked when Ajax entered his room. "Captain Edmond, I want toplete a mission individually", Ajax said after some hesitation. "Sure, what type of mission are you intending to finish?", as though he expected this, Edmond leisurely tasted his tea. "Any type of missions will do, but the danger rating should be ''B''", Ajax slowly replied. "Ptooey", Edmond spit his tea, when he heard Ajax''s reply. "What? You want to take a ''B'' danger rating mission and aplish it individually?", Edmond constantly stared at Ajax''s eyes for some time and finally allowed it, seeing the determination in his eyes. "Thank you, Captain Edmond", Ajax left Edmond''s room after saying ''Thank you''. "But be careful while you are on the mission", Edmond''s words resounded in Ajax''s ears. ¡­.. After Ajax left Edmond''s room, "Hey old Edmond, are you sure he can aplish the mission individually", Udo keenaxe came into his room and asked Edmond. "I don''t know how he reached peak elite soldier realm in a very short time, but he has his secrets which he doesn''t want others to know, so leave it", Edmond exined to Udo without stopping, "But the reason, why I allowed him to try a mission individually is the determinant look in his eyes". "Should I secret protect him", Udo asked half-jokingly. "No need. I think, he has some life-saving tricks under his sleeve, which gave him confidence to aplish a ''B'' danger rating mission", Edmond shook his head at Udo. .... At the mercenary guild, mission board Ajax has been looking at the mission board for some easy ''B'' danger rating mission. ''B'' danger rating missions " Task:- Kill a rank 4 Heaven poison snake king and collect its gall dder from the cursed abyss Reward:- 10,000 spirit stones, except for the gall dder, the remaining body is yours. Danger rating:- B "Task:- Collect the longevity fruit which is guarded by the rank 4 snow lion king in the cursed wilderness. Reward:- 10,000 spirit stones Danger rating:- B "Task:- Collect the restoration pearl from the depth of the Unresting abyss Reward:- 10,000 spirit stones Danger rating:- B Among all the ''B'' danger rating missions, these three looked somewhat easier whenpared to others. "I can rule out the Unresting abyss mission since I don''t have any water type skill at present", Ajax immediately ruled out the ocean type mission and pondered for some time and finally selected the cursed wilderness mission. "Since there is a saying, the snake king is heavily guarded at all times and the strength of the snake king alone is sufficient to kill me, so it''s better to take the cursed wilderness mission", Ajax ruled out the snake king mission also and took the single boss quest which is rank 4 snow lion king. He picked up the mission poster and handed it to the beautiful receptionist, Sarah. He used Edmond''s name to quickly handle all things regarding the mission and added this mission to the Hazegrove mercenary squad tab. Aftering out of the mercenary guild building, Ajax heaved a sigh and looked at the mission in the quest tab ''Ding, The mission is updated ''Ding, Collect the longevity fruit which is guarded by the rank 4 snow lion king in the cursed wilderness. Rewards:- 1) Promoting, the user tomander realm in body cultivation directly. 2) A new system feature 3) ::::::::::::::::::::::( If thepletion rate is above ''A'', then an additional reward will be added to the list. Condition:- The host needs toplete the mission individually. Duration:- 30 days. "Finally, it''s time go into the cursed wilderness", Ajax muttered and ran in the direction of the cursed wilderness. Cursed wilderness is arge forest that is ruled by many Spirit beast kings. It is divided into three sections namely outer, middle, and inner sections. The Spirit beast kings are the beings that are equivalent to the cultivators of the King realm. So they live in the inner section, whereas the spirit beasts from 5 to rank 6 stays in the middle section, whereas the spirit beasts of rank 1 to rank 4 stays in the outer region. Now, Ajax''s mission target is in the outer location of the cursed wilderness. Chapter 71: Single Horned Water Python

71 Single Horned Water Python

"Hehehehe, the target is out of the city", A masked figure said to another masked figure beside him with a smile. "Once, the target enters the cursed wilderness, we will take action. Until then keep an eye on him", the second masked figure replied. "Yes boss, once we will kill him and bring his head back to that young master, he will surely reward us heavily", with a cruel gin on his face, the first masked figure looked at the running Ajax with gleaming eyes. "Yes, but I still don''t understand why he is pissed by this fellow anyway? ", the boss puzzled at this easy mission. "Who cares, as long as we get rewarded by the sect and the young master it''s enough for our team", theckey convinced the boss. With that, they returned back regrouped with their teammates and nned their mission slowly. ¡­. After running out of the city, he ran into the direction of the cursed wilderness until he was out of sight from everyone and summoned his recently evolved Lightning Dragon Hawk. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Lightning Dragon Hawk Grade:- Mid-level rank 3 Loyalty:- Close friend Description:- As long as it''s loyalty remains in the closed friend section, it will never abandon the host even at the cost of its life, so please take care of it. "The loyalty is increased from a ''friend'' to ''close friend'', Hahaha ", Ajax smiled when he checked the loyalty of the summoned spirit beast. Because it is now his partner, a partner who will cover his back even in his death is impossible to get, so he felt happy and stroked its small featured head. "Since your feathers are snow white, I will call you Snow from now on. What do you say", Ajax named it as ''Snow'' which made the Hawk screeched happily in agreement. "Now, let''s go", with that he mounted on it and flown towards the cursed wilderness with lightning speed. "Woah", he eximed loudly, when he flew at very high speed. After ten minutes, "Where did he go, he was running in this direction earlier, didn''t he?", one of the many masked figures who was following Ajax, asked another masked figure. "No need to worry, he will enter the cursed wilderness anyway, we will wait for him there", seeing that they are unable to find Ajax in their surroundings, the boss ordered his team members to stop searching for Ajax and ran in the direction of the cursed wilderness with full speed. After six hours, Ajax finally entered the outer section of the cursed wilderness with the Hawk. "Thanks to you, I managed to save three-four hours of time for traveling", he patted the Lightning Dragon Hawk with a gentle smile. When Snow slowed its speed, Ajax''s hair still stood like spikes due to the very high speed of the Lightning Dagon Hawk. "Now, directly rush to the border of the middle section of the cursed wilderness", Ajax gave the order to the Hawk to directly rush to the border. Because the Snow lion King lives at the border between the outer section and the middle section ording to the details of the mission. Along the way, some spirit beasts hindered his way but just with the Lightning Eagle w from the ''Snow'' (Lightning Dragon Hawk), they were decimated into pieces. Some spirit beasts just shuddered in the presence of the rank 3 Snow. They smoothly reached the border without much difficulty and Ajax ordered Snow tond. At the border, there will be rank 4 spirit beasts, so he decided not to fly here because they will be easily spotted by the rank 4 spirit beasts. He summoned all his elemental spirits in case of any ambushes from the spirit beasts and at the same time to absorb the essence of nature from the surroundings. After two days, "Where is that damned Snow lion king and that longevity fruit tree", Ajax cursed at how big the cursed wilderness since he was unable to find tree nor that rank 4 spirit beast. As he was cursing the cursed wilderness, a snake-like spirit beast attacked Snow which is strongest among Ajax''s team. But that spirit beast greatly underestimated Snow, as it has a Lightning speed innate ability that helped Snow to easily dodge the iing attack. Seeing its attack was easily dodged by the Hawk, snake-like spirit beast directly turned its attack to the Ajax, who is very near to it. Ajax released his Spatial des with 500 units of the essence of nature while dodging the attack from it. But the spatial des only helped him to slow it down to dodge from its attack but the des didn''t even leave a scar or any mark on it making Ajax shock. Ajax used his system to get the details of the spirit beast. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Single horned water Python Grade:- Low-level rank 4 Description:- A spirit beast that is very cunning in nature and waiting for a chance to evolve into a single-horned water dragon. Skills:- XXXXX (The level difference is more than one, so skills are unable to reveal) "So, It''s a rank 4 spirit beast that''s why my spatial des didn''t leave any marks on it even with the 500 units of the essence of nature", Ajax''s previous puzzle has been solved as he checked its information. "If I can check it skills then I would have more chances of sess", Ajax thought about the level difference and continued thinking, "I think it attacked Snow because of the dragon bloodline in it", Ajax linked the chances the Python is waiting is none other than the blood flowing in the Snow. "Everyone attack together", Ajax ordered his team to attack the Single horned water Python with their skills. Ajax didn''t use his Spatial des since he already knows it has zero effect on it and ordered "Snow, don''t use Thunderstorm yet, wait until I say". Seeing everyone attacking it, the python simply dodged every attack but didn''t attack the elemental spirits though. In its eyes, only Snow is its opponent, others are only small insects. Chapter 72: Killing the rank 4 Water Python

72 Killing the rank 4 Water Python

Soon the water python lost its patience by the iing attacks of the elemental spirits and rushed towards the weak it who only has the strength of peak spirit soldier thinking it as easy prey. But just as it about to kill the earth elemental spirit, the Lightning dragon hawk used its second strongest attack, the lightning eagle w at the water python making a small scratch on the long body of water python. "Even that attack has only left a small scratch", Ajax shocked by the toughness of a rank 4 spirit beast and became fully alert. The water python''s small eyes turned murderous when it''s back was scratched by a mid-level rank 3 spirit beast and turned its full attention to the Snow and released water des from his mouth at the Snow. "Swoosh" Snow dodged the water des with its lightning speed but still, it got hit and its body was bleeding from the wounds. "Spirus use Bless", hemanded Spirus to use bless which will help the Lightning dragon hawk to recover from the wounds. "Only a normal attack from the rank 4 spirit beast caused that much damage to Snow, what will happen if it uses its innate attack", Ajax panicked and ordered Spirus to use its second skill ''Bless''. Bless is a very powerful healing skill which is useful when fighting as a group as it can heal all the allies for five minutes. Soon Snow''s all wounds recovered at a rapid pace shocking Water python and stared murderously at the Spirus, who closed her eyes to cast the Bless. As it was in shock, a fire asteroidnded on it making the earlier scratch on its back open up a little. and the area around that scratch is charred. Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered it to create a sand dune beneath the water python and he used the spatial des with 500 units of the essence of nature at the wound on its back. The water python wound is fully open and it looked visibly tired but suddenly something unexpected happened. It came from the sand dune without putting much effort and the wound on its back recovered quicker than Snow''s wounds and its strength is increasing rapidly which made Ajax worried. ''Ding, The single-horned water python is about to use its innate ability which is a strength-type. Its strength will be increased to mid-level rank 4 for a short time and its injuries will be healed. Please be careful host and kill it before it finishes the strength increment. "What, the water python is using its innate ability. Snow, use your thunderstorm now", Ajax didn''t want to give any time to increase its strength, so he ordered the Hawk to use it''s, strongest skill, Thunderstorm. He withheld this skill because it is very crucial to finish the enemy. If it fails to finish the enemy with this skill, then it''s game over for him in the hands of the enemy. The lightning hawk rushed towards the water python and used its lightning eagle w to clutch the water python and used its wings to create storms and dived into it. In the storm, many lightning shes and thunder rumbles appeared scaring the nearby spirit beasts. Ajax only saw the lightning shes and heard loud thunders in the storm and didn''t know what was happening in that thunderstorm. After exactly five minutes, two silhouettes fell down from the storm. One is the water python which is twitching on the ground and the other one is lightning dragon hawk which is unconscious. Ajax went over to Snow and after confirming that it is still alive, his breathing rxed. "Kill itpletely", Ajax ordered Volcanis and sat near the Lightning Dragon Hawk. "Spirus, use your skills on Snow and heal it", Spirus nodded its head and used its skill on the hawk healing it slowly. Ajax sent the hawk along with the spirus into the inner world to heal. ''Ding, Killed a low-level rank 4 beast Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host killed a spirit beast with two levels higher than his level. A random reward will be given encouraging the host to continue to kill higher-level spirit beasts. ''Ding, Amander elemental spirit stone is sent to the host''s inventory as the reward. Soon a series of system notifications came. "Killing a low-level rank 4 beast only gave 1000 units of the essence of nature, if not the additional reward it''s not worth to kill higher-level spirit beasts", Ajax felt, the essence of nature gained from killing the spirit beasts from the inheritance ground and here is like a mountain and a rock. "Anyway, I got amander elemental spirit stone. With this, I can upgrade Volcanis to Elemental spiritmander realm quickly", Ajax thought about upgrading Volcanis as soon as he got an extra elemental spirit stone. Actually, he thought about upgrading Volcanis sooner, when he got themander elemental spirit stone but he stopped himself from doing it, with the suggestion for the summoner king. "Volcanis,e here", Ajax called Volcanis and gave him themander elemental spirit stone to him making him excited. "System, do your thing", As soon as he said that system started upgrading Volcanis. The elemental spirit stone merged with Volcanis slowly. ''Ding, Themander elemental spirit stone has more than 80%patibility with Volcanis, there is a chance to an additional skill from the spirit stone. Ajax smiled when he saw the system notification. The energy from the stone slowly flowed all over the fire elemental spirit body increasing its levels one by one slowly. Volcanis body became bigger and sturdier with each level increment After nearly 30 minutes, With a ''bang'', Volcanis reached the elemental spiritmander realm and the energy stopped flowing. "Thanks for granting me a new life, summoning master", as soon as the processpleted Volcanis bowed to Ajax. "Huh?", Ajax didn''t understand why Volcanis is this much sincere all of a sudden. "Summoning master, when we, the elemental spirits reach themander realm, we can ....." Chapter 73: King of Fire

73 King of Fire

"Summoning master, when we, the elemental spirits reach themander realm, we can transform into normal human cultivators and can stay out of the master''s spirit consciousness forever", Necros exined with an envy look at Volcanis. Before the elemental spirit reaches the elemental spiritmander realm, the summoning master should continuously provide a certain amount of the essence of nature to them in order to survive in the human world. But once it reaches the spiritmander realm, they can transform into a human and can survive by themselves by absorbing the essence of nature from the surroundings but with a condition. The condition is to stay within a certain distance of the summoning master. Although they can transform into humans, any cultivator of the general realm or above can easily distinguish them. For example, Captain Edmond and Udo Keenaxe can easily differentiate the elemental spirits from humans. "Hmm", Ajax nodded his head and checked its information. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Volcanis Element:- Fire type Cultivation:- Elemental spiritmander (Level 1) Innate skill:- King of Fire (Passive Skill) Note:- Innate skill is obtained from the elemental spirit stone. Skill:- 1) Firest (Level 3) 2) Fire asteroid (Level 2) 3) Inferno (Level 1) "Huh?", Ajax shocked at the name of the Innate skill and quickly looked at the description of the skill. ''Ding, King of Fire:- A passive skill which increases all it attacks (basically fire type attacks) by 50 percent and it helps to create the elemental spirit''s own fire skills after practicing. "A wonderful innate skill and in that, it''s a passive skill", seeing the description of the skill Ajax was in awe. "Now, Inferno", soon system notification rang in his head. ''Ding, Inferno:- When activated, the elemental spirit''s body is shrouded with Purple mes and increasing its movement speed, attack speed, and fire damage for 10 minutes. It can be stacked with the King of fire. Cool Downtime:- 30 minutes "Good", seeing the inferno description, he nodded his head. "Volcanis, let me see your human form", Ajax asked the fire elemental spirit to show its human form after checking its skills. "Okay master", nodding his head, Volcanic transformed in a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a small mustache with an average build. And with a purple colored sword hanging on his back. "..", Ajax was speechless at the simple transformation which took only a few seconds. If he didn''t see the transformation, he was also unable to distinguish. After that, he came towards the dead water python. "Can I convert it into undead water python?",Ajax asked the system. He has been waiting for a dead body of a powerful spirit beast to turn into undead, so he asked the system if he can convert a rank 4 spirit beast to undead for the Sigmis pendant. ''Ding, Yes, but due to its body being damaged very badly it''s strength will be degraded to peak rank 3. ''Ding, An undead spirit beast is unable to use their innate skills, so please keep it in the mind, host. The system exined with a ding ding. "Okay then, convert it", Ajax ordered the system. Soon the badly mutted water python moved a little by little and the injuries on it recovered a little and entered into the Sigmis pendant. "Ok then, now let''s find a ce to rest and then look for the Snow lion king and the longevity fruit", Ajax team quickly moved to the outer section and found a ce to rest. "Master someone ising towards this direction", As he was about to cultivate, he heard the Volcanis or a middle-aged man now, who is on the lookout informed to Ajax. Ajax quickly summoned back it and Necros and climbed a nearby tall tree with Volcanis and watched the iing silhouettes without making any noise. "It''s been two days since we entered the cursed abyss, where the hell that kid disappeared to?, If I find him, I will kill him slowly and torture him to death", one masked figure said to another. "One thing for sure, he took that longevity fruit mission which means he should be around the border between the outer and middle section of the Cursed Wilderness", the second masked figure replied. "But why did he take the ''B'' danger rating mission with his shitty cultivation?", first masked figure puzzledly asked the second masked figure after hearing about the ''B'' rating mission. "Who cares about it anyway. As long as we take care of this business we can get two rewards for one mission", the second masked figureughed cunningly. "Two rewards?", the first masked figure didn''t understand. "It''s like this, the mission to kill him is posted from two different parties in the assassin mission board and the one in-charge is none other than my big brother who carefully managed to seize them and passed the mission to me" the second masked figure paused for a second and continued, "Once we submitted his head back to the young master who posted the mission, we will get one reward". "The mission is posted by a young master and who posted it the second time?", the first masked figure asked curiously. "I don''t know, but one thing is sure. Once we kill him, we don''t have to worry about cultivation resources for a while". Soon they passed by therge tree Ajax was hiding. "Are they looking for me?, They definitely want to kill me", Ajax eyes shed with murderous glint. "Let''s see who will kill who", Although Ajax knows that these two masked figures are havingmander realm cultivation if he tried to separate them, he thought he can kill them. Soon Ajax''s head thought of various ideas and finally got a better idea and followed them. "With my strength, I can handle a level 1mander realm body cultivator easily but since there are two targets I should kill one of them before they react", With that thought in his mind he ran after them along with Volcanis. Chapter 74: A clue about the Massacre

74 A clue about the Massacre

"Brother, I have a feeling that someone is watching us", the first masked figure said to the masked figure beside him, uneasily. "I too have that feeling for a while now", the second masked figure replied nodding his head in agreement. "Swoosh Swoosh", suddenly a small portal opened on the first masked figure head and released many wind des. Before he even reacted, the spatial des made many cuts on his body making him copse on the ground. Although many cuts have appeared, he is still breathing. "Who dares to y with us?", Seeing his breathing team member, the second figure shouted quickly. Albeit, he got a reply with a fire asteroid. Although he managed to dodge it, his team member was unlucky and burned to death under the fire asteroid. The dead masked figure didn''t ever imagine in his wildest dreams that he will die before he knew how he died and in whose hands did he die. "I don''t know who you are but assassin sect will definitely hunt you?", Seeing hismander realm teammate died within a few minutes, he knows already that the others are definitely not simple, so he used his sect name to intimate him hoping to let him off. ''Ding, Killed a level 3mander realm body cultivator Gained 300 units of the essence of nature. "Inheritance grounds is the best for getting the essence of nature, here it is not worth it to use spatial des", Ajax used the spatial des of 500 units but in return, he got only 300 units which made him praise the inheritance ground. "If you leave me alone and don''t harm me, I will guarantee that no harm wille to you nor your family", seeing that he didn''t get any reply from the other side, the remaining masked figure thought he got some hope, so he used the chance to negotiate with his opponent. "Huh, so now, I should not harm you and release you, right?", Ajaxmented in a mocked voice jeering at the assassin sect disciple. "That''s right if you release me I will not report anything that happened here to anyone", the masked figure got his lost confidence back into him and he thought, ''Once I regroup with my teammates, then I will not let you off, brat''. "Sure", Ajax acted as agreed but theter words shocked the masked figure, "Kill him Volcanis". "Wait, What are you doing", the disciple from the assassin sect panicked seeing the fireball in the hands of the middle-aged who is beside the young man. Without wasting any time Volcanis used his level 3 firest turning the masked figure into ashes leaving behind a space ring. ''Ding, Killed a level 3mander realm body cultivator Gained 300 units of the essence of nature. Ajax nodded his head, feeling satisfied at the essence of nature he gained from the second kill as he didn''t use his costly Spatial des skill. "Volcanis, collect the two space rings", Ajax ordered Volcanis to pick the space rings from the ashes. "Here, master", Volcanis collected the two space rings quickly and gave it to him. Ajax checked the two space rings which only have spirit stones and nothing valuable. But among the random things, Ajax found a familiar type of stone with two crossed silver daggers on it in each space ring. "This is¡­..", Ajax stammered when he saw the weird stone. He found the same stone from the assassin he killed in the Cursed abyss. "So, this assassin sect has their damned hands in the massacre", Calming in his anger, he said in a cruel tone. Although the assassin sect and the assassins who massacred in the Silver Orphanage that night have simr clothes they looked different somehow, so Ajax didn''t rte them to each other but who knows they are behind the massacre. "Good good, I will see how much longer can you live, Assassin sect", With a murderous look on his face Ajax. "And also someone is rewarding for my head, Who is that?", Ajax thought, he will interrogate more about their missions before eliminating them. Soon he found a suitable ce to rest. ¡­.. Somewhere in the outer section of the cursed wilderness, "Why is number 4 and number 5 are taking this much time to return?", asked a ck colored masked figure to a red-colored masked figure. "Don''t worry number 3, they like fooling around, they wille soon", another ck colored masked figure replied. "Even though they like to fool around most of the time, they don''t do it when they are on a mission", the red-colored masked figure who looked like a boss of the team replied. "Everyone stay alert, we will go search in their direction", The boss ordered his teammates and followed in Ajax''s direction with his teammates. After 10-15 minutes "Master, a group of four people ising this way", Ajax woke up suddenly with Volcanis alert and silently looked in the direction of the shadows. "Hehehe, I didn''t go looking for you but they came looking for me, that''s great that''s great", Ajax examined the group''s cultivation levels with system''s help. "One level 10, one level 6, one level 5 and one level 3mander realm body cultivators. Although this group is strong, I can handle it", Ajax muttered looking at the assassin sect''s disciples. "Necros, confuse the level 3mander and make him hurt his own foot", Ajax quickly summoned his death elemental spirit, Necros, and ordered it to use confuse ray. Although he can''t confuse him longer, a couple of seconds will be manageable by him to confuse the target. "Swish", a dark light entered into the level 3mander''s body making his foot twisted and fell down on the ground. "What happened number 3?", the boss of the team asked his fallen teammate. "Just a twist in the leg, its nothing serious. You look for the others I will follow you soon", the injured teammate said while limping to a nearby tree to sit. "Ok, number 1 stay here and protect him, number 2 you areing with me", the boss ordered and left with number 2. Chapter 75: Killing the assassin sects disciples

75 Killing the assassin sect''s disciples

"Something doesn''t feel right number 2", the boss of the team queried to the one beside him all of a sudden. "What doesn''t feel right, boss?", number 2 who is masked in ck asked his boss. "Like, we are being observed by someone but that feeling onlysted for a second. Maybe it is a spirit beast, I guess", the boss concluded it as some kind of spirit beast and searched for his teammates. The masked figure behind him didn''t say anything and continued following the boss. But what they didn''t know is that they were spied by Ajax from arge tree with a murderous glint in his eyes. "I will let you live for now", Ajax stopped gazing at the boss and focused on the rested teammates. ¡­. "Hey idiot, can''t you even run properly?", the masked figure who was called as number 1 leered at the injured number 3. "Stop calling me idiot, otherwise I don''t know want I will do to you", the injured number 3 snapped at number 1. *Steps* "Who''s there?", amidst their conversation, they heard the sounds of footsteps which alerted them and made them ask the question in unison with alertness. "My name is Ajax, nice to meet you", Ajax introduced himself politely looking at them like a beast eyeing on its prey. ''Number 1, he is the target'', number 3 silently whispered to number 1 when he looked at the Ajax who is staring at them like his prey. "I am also very happy that we finally met", without any hesitation, number 1 rushed forward with two daggers in each hand in an attempt to kill him in a single strike. Just as he thought he was killing his target, his legs were suddenly sucked into the sand for a moment making him lose his momentum and he jumped backward to escape from the sand dune. As he stopped to adjust his pace, suddenly a snake rushed towards him in a couple of seconds and prated his body like passing through the water, leaving a bloody hole in his abdomen. Number 1 was shocked to see this sudden turn of events and he didn''t even imagine in his wildest dreams that he will die just like that and fell down with a dubious face. Even on his dead face, there is still disbelief all over his face. Ajax prepared everything before he made his appearance before them. He ordered it to use Sand dunes to distract anyone that is going to attack him and the undead water python which he resurrected earlier to kill that rushed target without giving any chance for the enemy to retaliate. After collecting the space ring on the dead body, Ajax ordered Volcanis to burn the dead body to ashes. "I have some questions for you now, what will you say? Will, you answer or die for the assassin sect?", Ajax turned his attention to number 3 whose leg is twisted and sat on the ground with a terrified look on his face. "I will say, I will say. please don''t kill me", Although he has the low cultivation in the team, he was known for his intelligence and quick wits. So when he witnessed the power of Ajax, he knows there is no chance of escaping from Ajax, so he surrendered with any hesitation. Who wants to die young? No one. So, when it is a life or sect matter, he chose life and was ready to betray the assassin sect. "Do you know about the massacre that happened a few months back in the Vr city? and the Silver Orphanage in the city?", Ajax interrogated while observing his eyes. "No, I don''t know about it", pausing for a second, number 3 mumbled the words. "Volcanis", Ajax turned to Volcanis and thetter nodded his head. A small purple fireball formed in front of Volcanis, without hesitation, he threw it on number 3''s which burned his legpletely leaving him crippled. Soon another fireball appeared in front of Volcanis. "I know about it, I know. Stop it, I will tell", seeing the second fireball in the hands of Volcanis, the crippled number 3 cried. "Then, go ahead", Ajax motioned his hand for him to speak. "I don''t know much but it was posted on the mission board in our assassin sect to kill everyone from the Vr city", he breathed heavily as he continued, "As for why or who did it, I don''t know". "Huh?", Ajax pondered for a bit and questioned, "Then who knows about it". "Sect leader and the third Elder who manages the missions in the sect are the only ones to knows about more details", number 3 assured Ajax about it. "Another thing, who gave the mission for my head", Ajax asked calmly. "It''s Hammergust family''s young master, Luis Hammergust", he quickly revealed without wasting any time. ''Luis Hammergust, I will let you know the consequences of messing with me, Ajax'', Ajax silently thought to himself. "And?", Ajax calmly looked at the crippled number 3 in front of him. "...", number 3 didn''t understand and don''t know what to say. "Who is another one that wanted my head", seeing the look of confusion on his face, Ajax questioned in detail. "I really don''t know. I swear", number 3 begged when he saw the fireball became bigger and bigger. "How many disciples participated in that massacre?", Ajax changed the question. "200 bronze-level assassins, 50 silver-level assassins, and 1 gold-level assassin", fearing the fire-ball that is only a few feet distance, he revealed the details swiftly. "Ok then", as soon as he said that a small portal appeared before the injured number 3 and became a lump of minced meat from the iing wind des. Only after seeing the minced body, Ajax calmed down "Damn you, assassin sect" Ajax shouted angrily making the low-level spirit birds fly. "Two more targets to go", Ajax muttered and followed in the direction of the remaining teammates without checking the notifications that came from killing. Chapter 76: Jasmine

76 Jasmine

"Volcanis, you and undead water python take care of that level 10mander", Ajax ordered Volcanis to assist the undead water python that has the peak rank 3 strength. ''Whereas I will take care of that level 5mander with other elemental spirits'', He thought to himself. He can only ambush the powerful enemies with his spatial des and should take support from his contracted elemental spirits to fight. If Volcanis and undead water python was not present beside him, he would not be able to kill the previous targets easily, so he needed more strength to kill the target on his own. Snow, the Lightning dragon hawk was badly injured in the fight with the single-horned water python earlier, so he can''t rely on it for a while. Not until it is fully healed. Now every time he think about the assassin sect, he is remembering the massacre. With the massacre, he thought about his friends, who he doesn''t know whether they are alive or dead. Soon Ajax''s eyes turned murderous and only revenge is filled in his mind. "Calm down, calm down young fellow", an old familiar voice resounded in his head which helped him clear the murderous thoughts and calmed him down. "Isn''t this the voice I heard when upgrading the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique to level 2", Ajax thanked the voice for helping him calm down. "Who are you?", Ajax asked the voice in his head. "That''s not important now, I don''t want my sessor to follow the same path as I took. Calm your mind and think before you kill someone", the voice stopped for a moment and continued, "And not be a Killing machine without a brain who kills everyone in his path". "Huh?", Ajax stopped for a second and adjusted his thoughts and started thinking about the words of the old voice in his head. "Are they deserve to die?", Ajax contemted for a second and thought back to the massacre in the Silver Orphanage killing all the innocent children. And thinking about the masked figure''s words of killing him for some kind of rewards made him angry. "Of course, they deserved to die", Ajax finally came to the conclusion that if anyone wants his head they should be ready to lose theirs too. "Who goes there?", a cold voice was heard by him from a nearby tree. Ajax instantly looked in that direction. A middle-aged man who was covered in light injuries along with a 14-year old girl was resting under the tree. The middle-aged man''s body structure is normal and has a tired look on his face. As for the girl she has her face covered with dust which made him unable to see her face. Ajax just stood there without a word as he was not good at starting a conversation and don''t know what to say. "Hey kid, are you lost?", seeing the silent Ajax, the middle-aged man asked gently sensing there is no danger with the Ajax. "No Uncle, My name is Ajax, I am a mercenary and I am on a mission", Ajax replied politely. "And he is my guardian", seeing the Volcanis appear out of nowhere and stood in front of him, Ajax introduced him as his guardian. "No wonder with your strength, you can be a mercenary", the middle-aged uncle praised Ajax for his strength and continued, "My name is Ryan, and she is my niece Jasmine. You can call me Uncle just like her". Uncle Ryan, who is resting his back against a tree introduced his niece. Jasmine just showed a small smile at Ajax. Uncle Ryan knows that this man is only at themander realm but something about him seems odd, but he just shook his head thinking, Volcanis his hiding his real strength. "Sure Uncle Ryan. Can I ask you what are you doing here, like in Cursed wilderness", Ajax asked after talking with them for a while. "That''s...", Uncle Ryan hesitated. "We are searching for something" Seeing his uncle hesitation, Jasmine answered Ajax''s question to which Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ask further. "Ok then, Uncle Ryan. I will continue my mission. Bye", Ajax directly rushed deeper along with Volcanis, who is in a middle-aged man''s form. For the entire time, Volcanis just stood there without making any sound and followed quietly behind Ajax. "Uncle, why are you so polite to him", Jasmine asked Ryan, wondering why her uncle who didn''t even show respect to her father, acted politely to a stranger. "Although that middle-aged man''s cultivation realm, I sensed is only atmander realm level 1, he seems mysterious to me and even I, who is at level 8mander realm, is not having a 100 percent confidence to defeat that man without taking any damage", Uncle Ryan exined to his niece Jasmine. "Oh", If the Jasmine heard about it sometime back, she would have shocked but now, that she just nodded her head. "Anyway, we have to find that longevity fruit quickly, otherwise...", Before Uncle Ryan can finish it, Jasmine interrupted him, "Let''s not waste any more time uncle". ¡­ "So here you are", After one day of the search, Ajax found the longevity fruit tree instead of his prey that is assassin sect''s disciples. The longevity tree is guarded by a low-grade rank 5 Snow Lion King which is sleepingfortably near that tree. "If only the Snow was in her best condition, it would have been easier but now I need to confront it by myself and elemental spirits, and not to forget my new undead beast, Water python", Ajax thought in his my about the Lighting dragon hawk which is still unconscious. "I can do it", Ajax motivated himself and summoned all his elemental spirits and the indeed water python. "Volcanis, I will bait the snow lion king with undead water python to take it away from the longevity tree, then you will provoke it if it doesn''t pass arge distance, which is enough for me to stole the fruit", Ajax ordered Volcanis to provoke it to move far away from the tree. ********* Weekly Targets progress Power stones :-? 102/ 1500 Gifts :- 0/ 1000 coins Don''t miss the extra chapters Chapter 77: Healing

Ajax ordered Volcanis to provoke it to move far away from the tree so that he can steal the fruit quickly before it returns back. "Although, the water python''s strength is decreased its speed is the same as before when it has rank 4 strength, which will make the Snow Lion King difficult to catch it", Ajax continuously thought about his n. "As for everyone, act ording to the situation", he ordered his remaining elemental spirits who nodded their transparent heads in agreement. As the rank of the spirit beast increases, their intelligence also increases and also bes territorial. If any other spirit beast enters their territory without their invitation, that leads to a definite fight between them. Until one of them dies, they will not stop fighting. So when Snow Lion King, which is very proud among all the rank 4 spirit beasts, sees any trespassers in its territory it could not tolerate and quickly chased after the undead water python. The Snow Lion King left without a moment of hesitation, which made Ajax very happy and thoughtdy luck was smiling upon him. Seeing the chance, Ajax silently went to the tree and looked at the three longevity fruits which looked like green apples but bigger and shined with a green luster. Just as Ajax was about to pluck them out, a Snow Lion King, came from a nearby cave which has mid-grade rank 4 strength and looked at the Ajax with eyes full of murderous look and roared at him angrily. "What the fuck", Sensing the killing intent on him, Ajax turned and looked at the mid-grade rank 4 spirit beast and shuddered without making any sudden movements. "There is no news about another Snow lion King in the mission details", Ajax''s mind went nk, thinking about the details and cursed the information provided by the mercenary guild. "What do I do?, What do I do?", He stood there without moving, just looking at the Snow Lion King. The spirit beast also didn''t move, just stared at him murderously. "What are you doing in my territory? are you nning on stealing my fruits", a male rough voice was heard in his head. "Huh?", Although he was used to hearing voices in his head, Ajax was shocked to this rough voice in his head because the one that spoke just now is none other than the Snow Lion King that is staring at him murderously. In general, a spirit beast can learn human speech when it reaches rank 5 or general realm strength but the spirit beast before him is clearly shown as rank 4 in the system information but it can already speak fluently. "Those fruits are my child, so don''t you dare steal it", a small white-colored lion came from the cave and stood behind the Snow lion king when it finished the words. Although the Snow lion King hates most of the humans, it felt there is something more to this human kid that made it not to kill him. The energy that ising from Ajax made it not to harm him. "I don''t want to hurt a talented kid. So, you better leave now and don''t evere here", The Snow Lion King permitted to leave its territory without hurting him. "Thank you, Sir", Infront of the absolute strength, Ajax dejectedly walked away from the longevity fruit tree but he was also happy as he can escaped from the Snow Lion King without any injuries. Just as he took 2-3 steps, the baby white lion which is not even one meter in height copsed on to the ground. "Hey kid, immediately bring one of the longevity fruit from the tree and help my child feed it", The Snow Lion King loud rough voice heard in his head making him stop walking and looked at the entrance of the den. There, he saw the little white lion on the ground unconscious. Without wasting any time, Ajax plucked one longevity fruit from the tree. ''Ding, Item name:- low-grade Longevity fruit Use:- Helps to extend the life of the consumed being by one month Rating:- Useful Ajax just saw the use of the fruits while running towards the Snow lion King. Just as Ajax about to feed it, he got a system notification, ''Ding, The host can save the little white lion with the help of themander realm essence gem which is currently stored in the inventory. Ajax remembered the essence gem which he got from the inheritance ground and asked Snow lion King for its permission. "Sir lion king, I have a method to save your child. If you trust me I will save your child", Ajax asked with a loud voice and a confident look in his eyes. "What?", the Snow Lion King fell into the dilemma, and seeing the confident look on Ajax''s face, it nodded its head and warned him, "Ok, but if you fail, I am gonna tear you into pieces". "System, essence gem" Soon themander realm essence gem appeared in his hand from the inventory. ''Ding, Item name:- Essence gem mander realm) Use:- It helps in achieving major breakthroughs for humans and spirit beasts Rating:- Good "System, use it", He checked it once again before giving the order to the system. As soon as he said that the essence gem entered into the unconscious little white lion. The little white lion body glowed as soon as the gem entered into its body. The whole process took only a few seconds for Ajax to take out the essence gem and giving an order to the system to use it but the Snow lion King, waspletely shocked to see the rare essence gem and he used it without thinking anything. "I will remember this favor, kid, and return you when you need help", Seeing its child whose strength is reaching almost rank 3, the snow lion king said to Ajax. With a loud sound, the little baby lion reached rank 3.

Author''s Note:-?Snow Lion King:- Father Snow Lion Queen:-Mother ''Ding, The little white lion has reached rank 3 and its internal injuries are all healed. ''Ding, The System ced a spiritual imprint in the spiritual consciousness of the little white lion. ''Ding, The little white lion treats you just like its father because of your spiritual imprint in its spirit consciousness. "What the heck! Why did you do that?", Ajax panicked and cursed at the system because if it is known by the Snow Lion King that he ced a spiritual imprint in his child, then it will surely bring disaster to him. Spiritual imprint is a mark that is mostly used on the children by the high-level cultivators or Spirit beasts to know about the life and death of their children when they are not around or when their children enter some dangerousnds for breakthroughs. ''Ding, The Spiritual imprint is required to treat the little white lion''s internal injuries otherwise the system would be unable to heal itpletely. The system notification exined Ajax when he cursed at the system. The little white lion who now has the cultivation level ofmander realm is only one meter in height. It stood on its legs and staggeringly went towards Ajax and rubbed its head against his thighs affectionately before looking at his original father, the Snow Lion King. Seeing this, the Snow Lion King stared at Ajax squinting but didn''t say anything to Ajax as he was the one that healed his child. Soon the Snow Lion Queen that chased after the undead Water Python returned angrily as it was unable to catch an intruder that entered its territory. The returned Snow Lion Queen was shocked to see a human kid in front of the den and its child was affectionate with him. Without wasting any second longer, the female Snow Lion Queen came forward and shoved Ajax aside and stared at him murderously. "What are you doing", the Snow Lion King asked his partner for its rudeness to their child savior. "Roar~ roar~", Ajax only heard roars from the Snow Lion Queen that are directed towards Snow Lion King, which he didn''t understand anything. "I know you hate humans and how they injured you before, but not all humans are the same, just like all spirit beasts are not live to kill humans. But this kid here, he saved the life of our little one", The Snow Lion King roared at the Snow Lion Queen. "Even then, If you want to kill him, then go ahead I will not stop you", saying that, Snow Lion King sat down and intently looked at the Snow Lion Queen''s eyes which are moistened with tears. Ajax, who heard the Snow Lion King voice loud and clear shuddered at the words of it but when he looked at the Snow Lion Queen, whose eyes were filled with tears, he understood one thing. "No matter who you are, either a human or a spirit beast, Motherly love doesn''t change". "Roar~", Snow Lion Queen growled in a low voice as if it were asking something. "Yes, now our child doesn''t have to suffer anymore", Snow Lion King nodded its mane head lightly. As soon as it confirmed that its child is safe, it bowed to Ajax. "No no no", Ajax who was still fearing about the spiritual imprint, actively said. "Since my son is cured, I don''t have any use with the longevity fruit. If you want, you can take all the fruits", the Snow Lion King offered the longevity fruits to Ajax gratefully. "Thanks, senior Lion King", Ajax rejoiced. "Also, if you need anything in the future,e to me. As long as it is within my power I will help you with it", the Snow Lion King invited him to his den anytime. "Sure", Ajax hesitated for a moment and asked while patting the baby Snow Lion King, "May I know the reason for the internal injuries for the little white". "One year back, When the little one was still in her stomach, we were ambushed by some humans who are after our Snow Lion Emperor bloodline and she was hit by some weird skill", Snow Lion King stopped for a second and continued, "The energy from that affected my child making him sick from the moment he was born". "What happened to that humans?", Ajax wondered why the humans didn''t hunt them again because it is very easy for the cultivators from high sects to find them if they wanted to. "I killed all the humans", Snow Lion King said tly making Ajax shiver. "Even though my child was sick from birth, his body has the purest Snow Lion Emperor bloodline in him", Snow Lion King proudly raised its head which is fully covered in a snow-white mane. Ajax has small knowledge about bloodlines, and any bloodline that has emperor in its name is very powerful and rare. For example, now Snow, the Lightning Dragon Hawk has the Lightning Dragon Emperor. But it''s purity is only 50 percent whereas the little white has more than 50 percent purity of the Snow Lion Emperor. With this bloodline, it can easily fight peak rank 3 spirit beasts with its low-grade rank 3 strength. "Ok, senior I will move now", Ajax yed with the little white for some time then said his goodbye which made the little white''s eyes moistened. "Don''t cry little white, I wille again to see you", Ajax rubbed its little head andforted it. Soon he picked the remaining two longevity fruits from the tree and stored them in the system inventory along with the previously plucked fruits. Just as he was about to turn, he thought of storing the longevity tree in the inner world to get the free essence of nature. "Senior Lion King can I take this tree with me?", Although he was greedy, he didn''t forget to ask permission from the Snow Lion King. "Sure, but what will you do with it?", Snow Lion King asked puzzledly. "It''s a secret", Ajax grinned as he replied. ******** Weekly Targets progress Power stones :-? 313/ 1500 Gifts :- 80 / 1000 coins Don''t miss the extra chapters ******** Please! Say no to piracy!

''Ding, Do you want to store the longevity tree in the Inner Wolrd? "Of course, I want to store it, who doesn''t want to store it?", Ajax said smilingly as he confirmed storing the tree. ''Ding, The longevity tree is sessfully stored in the Inner World and connected to the Inner world. ''Ding, Inner World''s generated essence of nature is increased by 20 units, reaching a total fo 40 units per day. Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction. From the Ability tree which he stored earlier, he receives 20 units of the essence of nature, and now with the longevity tree, he will receive another 20 units which made his ie of the essence of nature to 40 units per day. Although it''s only increased by 20 units, he was very much happy with the free essence of nature which will automatically store itself into his spirit consciousness. "Ok, Senior Lion King, I wille again in the future if I need any help", Ajax bid his goodbyes to the three spirit beasts and finally moved towards the exit of the Cursed Wilderness. Before leaving, he didn''t forget to summon back all his elemental spirits and the undead water python into his inner world and the Sigmis pendent respectively. "Those two from the assassin sect who missed from my clutches must have a very good day", Ajax sighed at missing the opportunity to kill the remaining disciples of the assassin sect but didn''t bother about it much longer as he swore to take down the assassin sect in the future when he bes strong anyway. Although he wanted to kill them, he thought it will be a waste of time to look for them in this Cursed Wilderness and focused on submitting the mission at the mercenary guild and breaking through to themander realm quickly. But who would have thought, he will stumble upon them on his way out of the Cursed Wilderness? But they were not alone, the two assassin sect disciples are fighting a familiar person who he had met before finding the longevity tree. "Aren''t they Uncle Ryan and Jasmine", Ajax saw the assassin sect''s two disciples are fighting with Uncle Ryan. As for the jasmine, she was unconscious on the ground with some serious wounds and covered in the blood. Uncle Ryan''s situation was also not good either. "It looks like Uncle Ryan can''t hold on for much longer", Ajax evaluated the situation quickly and summoned his elemental spirits. "Spirus, after I distract everyone, go and check the condition on Jasmine without anyone seeing you", Ajax pointed at the unconscious Jasmine and ordered Spirus to heal her. "it, use your sand dunes continuously hindering assassin sect disciples movement", "Necros use your confuse ray on them, even if it''s only for a second, it''s enough", Ajax ordered it and Necros after that. "Volcanis, as for you cover me while I fight them", Volcanic nodded at hismand. Ajax wanted to test his battle prowess, so he just asked for some support from his elemental spirits and they will not be seen by others. "Uncle Ryan is really a good fighter holding one level 10mander and mid-levelmander with a level 8mander realm strength", Ajax praised as he ambushed the level 5mander. But the ambushed failed as that disciple dodged his deadly strike with ease. Ajax didn''t show any fear and continued piercing with his Bloodlust Spear from the inheritance ground. "Only a Peak Elite Soldier and you dare to ambush an assassin, heheheh", number 2ughed as he mocked Ajax as he evaded each of his pierce with ease. "Do you wonder, where your fellow teammates went?", Ajax smilingly asked as he didn''t stop piercing. "Huh?", For a second, the disciple didn''t dodge as his legs were stuck in the sand in a moment of his distraction. "Puchiii" The Bloodlust Spear pierced through his spirit consciousness and fell down on to the ground lifelessly. As soon as the body fell down a system notification chimed in his head. ''Ding, Killed a level-5mander realm cultivator, Gained 500 units of the essence of nature. "What?" Uncle Ryan already saw Ajax when he was fighting with the other disciple but didn''t imagine, he will kill that person very soon. "How?", The leader of the team was shocked to see his teammate being killed by a kid who was not even reached, themander realm. "Who are you? Why are you intervening in the affairs of the assassin sect?", He asked fumingly at Ajax. "Because I love assassin sect", without wasting any time, Ajax took out the Bloodlust Spear from the dead body which is devoid of any blood now and rushed towards the leader. After absorbing the blood from the dead body, the Bloodlust Spear shined with some light red luster. "If you are looking for death, then I will grant it to you", The team leader also rushed towards him. "Don''t forget about me", before the leader can move two steps, Uncle Ryan shed at him with his sword. The team leader stopped the attack from Uncle Ryan. At the same time, he saw two Ajaxs rushing towards him with the blood-red spear in their hands. Jumping back two steps, he freed from Uncle Ryan''s sword and focused on the Ajaxs that are rushing towards him. He waved his dagger at them when they were near to him but to his surprise, he didn''t cut through anything solid instead it was only air he shed. "Puchiii", A blood-red spear pierced through his abdomen and his body is quickly drained by the Bloodlust Spea without leaving behind a drop. The body became very thin just like a block of dried wood and lifelessly fell on to the ground. Uncle Ryan puzzled at why the assassin sect disciple waved at the thin air but remembered his niece was injured earlier and quickly came to check on her condition and forget about the small matter of that disciple shing at the thin air. ******* Weekly Targets progress Power stones :- 384/ 1500 Gifts :- 85/ 1000 coins Need extra chapters?

As for the Ajax, he checked thetest notification from the system ''Ding, Killed a level-10mander realm cultivator, Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. "It''s not a bad thing getting some essence of nature from killing these evil assassin sect''s disciples", Ajax didn''t felt anything when he killed the disciples from the assassin sect and thinking much, he felt satisfied. His also checked his spirit consciousness ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 4560 units / 4999 units He was very much satisfied with his stored essence of nature in his spirit consciousness that he got from the inner world, and mostly from killing the assassin sect disciples. Ajax turned his head and looked towards Uncle Ryan and, Jasmine whose wounds are almost healed by the Spirus but she is still unconscious. Ajax silently summoned back all his elemental spirits except Volcanis who is in the human form and Uncle Ryan doesn''t have reached the General realm, so he didn''t summoned back Volcanis. Moreover, Uncle Ryan had already seen Volcanis in his human form before. "Uncle Ryan, is she alright?", Ajax asked about Jasmine, walking towards them. Ajax already knows the answer to his question but nevertheless he asked about her. "Yes, she is just unconscious and will most probably wake up soon", Uncle Ryan politely replied to Ajax and smiled at him. Uncle Ryan felt that he owed Ajax for helping him earlier, otherwise, he would have surely died in the hands of those assassin sect disciples. "Uncle Ryan, why are you fighting them? Do you have any bad blood between you and them", Ajax pointed at the dried dead bodies and asked him. "This¡­.", Uncle Ryan hesitated for a moment. "It''s ok Uncle if you don''t want to say it, just pretend as I never asked", seeing the hesitation on Uncle Ryan''s face, Ajax shrugged his hands and also not interested to know about it either. "It''s nothing, Our family head was ambushed by those assassin sect scum and now he is in a critical condition", Uncle Ryan condemned assassin sect and continued saying, "When we ran into these scum they dishonored our family name and insulted our family head knowing that my cultivation is only in level 8mander realm, but when I mocked them in return, they couldn''t take it and attacked us without giving any chance to retaliate". "Uncle Ryan, are you by chance from the main family", Ajax inquired seeing the battle prowess of Uncle Ryan and changed his previous politeness and acted normally. "Yes. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ryan Covenhart", Uncle Ryan introduced himself proudly this time with his family name but didn''t expect the Ajax to not show any respect to his family which is one of the tyrants in the Zrochester province. "Hmm", Ajax nodded his head and his previous good impression on Uncle Ryan is lost when he heard their family name. All the sects, main families are known for bullying weaker families and rogue cultivators (Who don''t belong to any family or a sect). So, as soon as he learned that Uncle Ryan and Jasmine are from one of the main family, he just nodded his head without any expression on his face. Sensing Ajax''s sudden change of behavior Uncle Ryan could guess more or less about it but didn''t say anything. When a family that is in the upper echelon, can''t control their youngsters who will bully the lesser families and no name cultivators. It''s an unstoppable thing and the family head and elders will always close their eyes when ites to those kinds of things which made their youngsters be arrogant. "Have you finished your mission?", Uncle Ryan asked after a moment of silence. "Yes, and I am leaving from here to submit it quickly", Ajax turned to leave the ce without any proper goodbye. Seeing theck of respect from Ajax, Uncle Ryan felt embarrassed and became angry but seeing Volcanis who stood quietly with his hands behind his back, he controlled himself and politely asked Ajax, "Can you please act as an escort for us until we reach Mercenary guild". Ajax stopped for a moment and looked at the Uncle Ryan who his fully covered in many bloody wounds and Innocent Jasmine, who is still unconscious and asked, "How much are you gonna pay me for that?" "You", when he heard those words, Uncle Ryan froze and nearly fell down but still replied, "How about 5000 spirit stones?". Ajax just stood without saying anything. "10000 spirit stones", Uncle Ryan felt that this is his first-time seeing, a rogue cultivator extorted spirit stones from one of the main families. "Sure~", Ajax with a smile epted the deal. "Sigh", Uncle Ryan sighed at the crisis of his family and his bad luck. Although their family doesn''tck in spirit stones, that is not a small amount either. Before he felt the trouble is over, he was shocked by the next words of Ajax "I want the full payment in advance", With a smile, he irritated Uncle Ryan. Nodding his head, Uncle Ryan gave 10,000 spirit stones to Ajax from this space ring. "Before starting our journey back, I want to rest for some time", Uncle Ryan informed Ajax, to which Ajax nodded his head in reply. There was not bad blood between them, so he didn''t mind wasting some time for 10,000 spirit stones. After two hours, "Uncle Ryan", Jasmine woke up from suddenly and shouted. Uncle Ryan, who was meditating to heal his wounds, opened his eyes and rushed towards his niece. "How are you feeling, Jasmine", Uncle Ryan, asked with a voice full of concern. "A little bit dizzy but it''s ok", seeing the concerned look on her uncle''s face Jasmine replied with a smile. "Can you walk?", he asked her. "Yes", Jasmine replied. "Jasmine, thank brother Ajax for saving our lives", Uncle Ryan pointed at Ajax and exined everything. "Thanks, Brother Ajax", although, she didn''tpletely believe what her uncle said, she thanked him politely. "If you are rested enough, should we start our traveling", Ajax nodded at Jasmine and asked Uncle Ryan about moving from that ce. "Ok", Uncle Ryan recovered some of his strength and agreed with Ajax to move. Soon they started traveling towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. ******* Please! Say no to piracy!

After two days Ajax along with Uncle Ryan and Jasmine reached the Mercenary guild after traveling for two days with some breaks along the road. The Mercenary Guild was crowded by people as usual as it was famous for both cultivator and normal people. "Thank you, Ajax", Uncle Ryan thanked Ajax, even though he gave spirit stones for his escorting them, it was out of respect for saving them from the assassin sect disciples. "Hmm", Ajax simply nodded his head in reply. Uncle Ryan and Jasmine quickly went towards the front counter and talked with Sarah, the beautiful receptionist for some time. But soon his and Jasmine''s face filled with worry and sighed. Ajax didn''t say anything and just went to submit his mission item to Sarah. Everyone in this Dog eats dog world, have their own problems to worry about, so he didn''t bother too much about it. "Sister Sarah here is the longevity fruit and please quickly process my missionpletion and issued my reward quickly", Ajax politely requested Sarah with a bright smile and asked for the reward quickly as he was in a hurry. "Huh, Hazegrove mercenary squad members are bing more and more powerful", Sarah smiled beautifully as she praised Hazegrove squad members and carefully picked up the longevity fruits which is covered with a green luster. When she saw the longevity fruit, she thought that only younger members of the squad took the mission. Because it is very easy if Edmond and Udo join this mission. They canplete the mission effortlessly. Ajax smiled in reply without exining that he hadpleted the mission solo, without any help from lewis and others. Even if he said that she will not believe him anyway. Because who will believe a peak elite soldier can fight a rank 4 spirit beast and win. ''It is all thanks to my luck, I got the fruits without fighting. Even if I use the strength potion, it''s impossible to survive much less obtaining the fruits'', Ajax silently thought in his mind about how easy he got the fruits. "Finally, my family head has hope now", Uncle Ryan''s loud shout attracted the surrounding mercenaries and cultivators but he didn''t mind that. ''As long as the family head is well, who will dare to mock us'', Ryan Covenheart thought in his mind. "Jeez, Uncle Ryan please lower your voice, all are looking at us", Jasmine went over to Sarah and took the fruit from her hands gently. Sarah smilingly gave it to Jasmine without speaking anything. "Huh?", Ajax looked at the eyes of Jasmine which are glittered with tears. "Actually, this mission ismissioned by the Covenheart family", seeing the confusion in Ajax''s face, Sarah exined slowly. Ajax understood and didn''t say anything. Soon he took the reward from Sarah, a space ring, which contained 10,000 life elemental spirit stones. ''Ding, ''Ding, The system notifications continuously chimed in his head but he didn''t check it as he was surrounded by many people and if they saw him talking to air or spacing out he will think about him as a crackhead. He quietly took the reward and turned to leave as he was in a hurry to check the system notifications of thepletion of his mission. "When you are free, please visit us, The Covenheart family.?Ajax", Uncle Ryan invited Ajax to their house, when he is avable. "Sure~", Although, he didn''t have a good impression on the powerful families and sects, he got some good impression on both Uncle Ryan and Jasmine for their characters in his journey from the Cursed Wilderness to the Goldcrest town. So he epted the invitation. After leaving the Mercenary Guild, he rushed towards the Hazegrove squad building before summoning back Volcanis because, if Edmond saw him, he will recognize that Volcanis is an Elemental spirit instantly. He saw all young members of the squadzily resting and making fun of each other. "Hey Ajax, how can you leave me behind when you go on a mission", As soon as he saw the Ajax, Lewis yelled at Ajax. "Are you baby?", Jeff mocked Lewis at his question making othersugh at Lewis. As he was behaving like a baby, Jeff mocked him making Ajax and Paulinugh. "You are a baby, your whole family is babies", Lewis scoffed at Jeff. "What did you say?", an angry voice resounded in Lewis''s ears making his shudder. "Huh, I am praising Keenaxe family, Sir Udo", Lewis quickly made up an excuse and ran to his room. "Ajax, how did it go", Captain Edmond asked "Everything went good, Captain Edmond", Ajax attentively replied making Edmond smile. "Ok, then. Go and rest for now. You look tired", seeing the tired look on the Ajax''s face Edmond advised him to rest. "Ok Captain Edmond", Ajax bid goodbyes and went to his room. After entering his room, the first thing he did was shower. Several days of staying in the Cursed wilderness and killings made his body smell terribly. He came out of his to eat something good which is Edmond''s cooking. Edmond is the best cook Ajax has seen in his life until now. "Here you go", Edmond already made his (Ajax) best dish from the low-grade spirit beasts and ced on the table. "Thanks for the food, Captain Edmond", after eating the food, Ajax thanked Edmond and gave a longevity fruit to him. "Didn''t you submit it at the mercenary guild", Edmond asked without taking the fruit from Ajax''s hands. "I did and I have extra longevity fruits which may be helpful to you in the future. Consider this fruit as a gift from me Captain", Ajax exined that he has 2 extra fruit. "Ok, I will take it then", seeing the stare from the Ajax, Edmond was unable to reject the gift (Fruit) and took it. "You go sleep well, for now, I have something to talk with you. We discuss that tomorrow, Ok?", Edmond advised Ajax to sleep. Soon he came to his room, locked his door, and sat on thefortable bed, and checked the system notifications. ******* Please!

''Ding, Collect the longevity fruit which is guarded by the rank 4 snow lion king in the cursed wilderness is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for aplishing the mission, Following rewards are given for aplishing the mission. Rewards 1)?An Energy orb that helps the user to break through to themander realm is stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. Note:- System created the energy orb taking the energy orb from the Summoner King as a reference with the increased purity of the essence of nature with a smoothing effect which will lessen the pain to the host. 2) A new system feature is unlocked, please check it in the user interface and use the system guide to instantly know about it. 3) Calcting... ''Ding, Calcting positives of the aplished mission, 1) The host took less than a week to aplish the mission. Rating reached B+. 2) Collected more than required longevity fruits. Rating reached A. 3) Collected the longevity fruit tree. Rating reached A+. 4) Acquired the friendship of Snow Lion King and Snow Lion Queen. Rating reached S. ''Ding, A chance to awaken any of the three powerful bloodlines which are Draconic bloodline, Abyssal bloodline, and Verdant bloodline that are shown by the system with detailed exnation for the host to know. Note:- The host can choose one among the three bloodlines. "Huh?", Ajax bbergasted when he read all the system notifications about rewards and the rating increment from B+ to S grade rating. "Finally, I can break through tomander realm, Hahahaha", Ajax rejoiced at the first reward which is an energy orb that he was already familiar with which is silently floating in his spirit consciousness. Next, he directly checked his third reward which is rted to Bloodlines. ''Ding, Please select one of the following bloodlines to awaken:- Draconic Bloodline Description:- The power of dragons flows through you and manifests in a number of ways. When you activate this bloodline, the body of the user will be covered by the dragon scales and battle prowess will be increased by threefold. (Stackable) Side effect:- After deactivating the bloodline, the user will be in a weak condition and need at least 1-3 hours of rest depending on the usage of the bloodline Abyssal Bloodline Description:- A powerful summoning bloodline, which will increase the powers of all the beings (Elemental spirits and Spirit beasts) that are contracted with the user receive a boost in their fighting strength by a twofold. Side effect:-1) If the user is not focused when he used this bloodline, there is a chance of user turning insane and may die. 2) No increase in the user strength when this bloodline is activated. Verdant?Bloodline Description:- The power of living things infuses every aspect of your spirit consciousness, as you draw power from nature and its life energies flow through you. As long as the user has living beings around him, he will have an additional life. Side effect:-1)There will be no increment in the strength of the user. 2)Unable to activate, if the user is in the undead world or some lifeless worlds. "Huh?", Ajax fell into a dilemma when he saw the three powerful bloodlines on the holographic projection in front of him. All three bloodline has its advantages and disadvantages, so he carefully examined them again. "Verdant Bloodline is a good supporting type bloodline with an additional life but without proper strength, if I die once, then I will probably die again", He was quick to reject the Verdant Bloodline. Another reason he rejected it because he thought that if he ever goes to some lifeless ce like the one from the system trial where only undead beings live, isn''t it just a waste thing?. Next, he looked at the Abyssal bloodline. "Abyssal bloodline is the most suited one as I have a number of Elemental Spirits and two Spirit beasts at present but the side effect is very dangerous, so it''s better to select the Draconic Bloodline which will increase my strength by threefold", Ajax finally came to a conclusion and decided to select the Draconic Bloodline. "System, I choose Draconic Bloodline", Ajax ordered his system to awaken the Draconic Bloodline. "Do you wish to awaken now?", the system enquired Ajax about the awakening time. "Yes", Although he was tired, his excitement dominated his tiredness. ''Ding, The system suggests host to be in the perfect shape to awaken the bloodline, Please take a rest and try againter. "Then why the hell did you ask me as if I want to awaken the bloodline now", Ajax cursed at the system for ying with him. "Then use Energy orb, I want to breakthrough tomander realm quickly", He gave another order to the system to use the energy orb. ''Ding, The system suggests host to be in the perfect shape to use the energy orb, Please take a rest and try againter. The same reply came from the system making Ajax angry. Then I will check the new system feature that is rewarded to me first. "Hahahaha", Ajaxughed like an old viin in the movies as he checked the system features section in the user interface. But he only saw the old system features and a feature which is covered by some ck lines. He focused on the feature to know more about it. ''Ding, Please break through to themander realm before fully unlocking the new system feature. "What the heck! System are you ying with me?", Now, Ajax finally became angry at the system. Ding, The system only cares about the life the host and now the host is fully tired and the system suggests the host, take a rest and use the rewards. "Fine fine, I will rest now", Without having anything to do, Ajax finally slept in hisfortable bed waiting for the morning. ...¡­. "Edmond, are you really allowing Ajax and Paulin to go there?", In Edmond''s room, Udo asked Edmond puzzledly. "Yes", Edmond just said one word without beating around the bush. "But why?", Udo asked for the reason. ******* Weekly Targets progress Power stones :- 313/ 1500 Gifts :- 80/ 1000 coins Don''t miss the extra chapters ******** Please! Say no to piracy!

"But why?", Udo asked for the reason as he was unable read his friend''s mind. "Because I don''t want to waste their talent here", Edmond maintained his headstrong in his words. "Sigh", Udo just shook his head and left Edmond''s room. ''if they go there, they will be the target of everyone just like you back then, Edmond'', Udo just thought in his mind but didn''t say to Edmond. Udo knows that they will be wasting the talents of their young ones if they stopped them here, but at least they will be alive here. Edmond closed his eyes and entered into cultivation without wasting his time. Next day morning In Ajax''s room, he woke up very early with an energetic look and liveliness in his face. He was excited and punched into the air. "Come on, you cursed system" " I want to breakthrough tomander realm quickly" "Break the Energy orb" Ajax continuously talked in his mind with the system and scolded it. ''Ding, The host is in the perfect condition to breakthrough to themander realm. ''Ding, Breaking the energy orb. ''Ding, The system suggests the host, not to lose his focus while absorbing the energy from the Energy orb which may lead to the body of the host to explode with the energy from the energy orb. "Sure~", Ajax elongated the word as he agreed. He is not afraid of any pain after enduring the previous bone cracking pain from the Summoner King''s Energy orb, So he took it lightly. The stable Energy orb in his spirit consciousness which is floating suddenly sted off by a mysterious force from the system and the energy in it surged out like a flood covering all over the body reaching every corner. The force at which the energy gushed out made his bones break and that energy was absorbed by the broken bones and attached together once again. The newly formed bones were shined with a light golden luster and just by a look at it, one can say that these bones are not something amander realm cultivator can obtain. The entire process was not painless either. Only after enduring the bone-cracking pains, he obtained the fruits for his hard work. Ajax, with his heaven-defying concentration, and sheer will, he shouldered the bone-cracking pain better than before. It only took five minutes for the entire process but Ajax felt like it was a millennium. With a loud bang, he finally entered into themander realm and fell on to hisfortable bed, gasping for air. "Although the pain is unbearable, it is less than the pain I sustained when I absorbed the Energy orb from the Summoner King", Ajax thought back to the pain when he was broke through from level 1 Elite Soldier to level 10 Elite soldier and shivered. ''Ding, Congrattions host, for reaching the level 1mander realm in body cultivation. ''Ding, Congrattions host, for reaching the level 1mander realm in Spirit cultivation. But the Spirit cultivation is locked at the peak Elite Soldier realm as the host didn''t contract his first official Elemental Spirit yet. "Huh?", Unexpectedly his spirit cultivation is also broke through to the Commander realm with the response from his body cultivation. But he was shocked to see thest words from the system on the holographic screen in front of him. "Haven''t I already have four contracted elemental spirits?", Ajax wondered about the official spirit and unofficial spirit, which he heard earlier from the Summoner King in the inheritance ground. ''Ding, Elemental spirits can be official and unofficial. The way you contracted the present Elemental Spirits is called Unofficial contract and the elemental spirits are called unofficial spirits. ''Ding, The official contract is the one when you enter the Elemental Spirit World through your dream when you are 15 years old and made a contract with an Elemental Spirit. "Ok, can you exin more things about official Elemental Spirit", Ajax asked as he was always curious about Summoning. ''Ding, You will know when you reach 15 years old which is only a few weeks away. "Always, trying to act mysterious. Stupid system", Ajax scoffed at the system. "About the new system feature, show me what it is", although he was curious, he was patient enough to wait for a few weeks. ''Ding, An important system upgrade is avable as the host reached themander realm in his body cultivation. ''Ding, Leaving one unit of the essence of nature in the host''s Spirit Consciousness consuming all the 4500+ units of the essence of nature from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, During the upgrade, the host can''t any system features except the Inner world. ''Ding, Time toplete the Upgrade:- 2 days 23 hours 59 minutes "What the fuck, you damned system, who allowed you to upgrade with all my essence of nature", Ajax momentarily stunned and started cursing the system for its disobedience. Ajaxid on his bed after cursing the system for some time to rx. "Knock Knock" Ajax heard knocking sounds on his door. After opening the door, he saw Paulin who was smilingly said "Hello". "Hi, senior brother Paulin. Come inside", Ajax invited Paulin to his room. "No need Ajax. Captain Edmond asked me to for us to join him now. He said he has something important to discuss with us", rejecting the invitation politely, he exined the reason for his visit. "Sure, let''s go", Ajax agreed instantly as he didn''t have anything to anyway. "Brother Paulin, Do you know what Captain Edmond wants to discuss with us?", as they walked towards Edmond''s room, Ajax raised the question to Paulin. "I too don''t have a clue about it either, Ajax", Paulin replied shrugging his hands. Soon they reached Edmond''s room "Come inside", as they were about to knock on the door, they heard the voice of Edmond from inside the room. "Are you interested to go to the Royal Capital?", as soon as they entered, Edmond asked a question without wasting any time. ******* Please! Say no to piracy!

"Are you interested to go to the Royal Capital?", as soon as they entered, Edmond asked a question without wasting any time. "...", Ajax and Paulin both were bbergasted at the question as they didn''t know the reason behind the question, so they looked at each other and then at Edmond speechlessly. "Actually, a contest which will be held in the Royal Capital after three months?and you two got the invitations to attend it, so do you want to participate in the tournament?", Edmond asked once again with some exnation and focused on their facial expressions. "Yes, I want to go", Without anyte, Ajax was the first to reply to Edmond''s question with an excited look on his face. As Ajax wanted to know the exact reason behind the massacre in the Silver Orphanage, he has to confront the assassin sect in the future, sooner orter. So it will help him to know more about the sects and families that are resided in the Royal Capital and he can get a better understanding of the rtions between the families, sects and the Royal family. As for the Paulin, he hesitated. "Paulin, if you miss this chance, you will never get another one like this in your life again", Edmond convinced Paulin to agree, as he knows why Paulin hesitated to go to Royal Capital. "Ok Captain, I will listen to you", Paulin clenched his hand thinking about something. It is not a secret among the squad members, that Edmond was the one who convinced him to join the Hazegroove mercenary squad and helped him a lot since then, So Paulin agreed with him without any hesitation. "When you are in the Royal Capital, don''t do anything stupid, alright?", Edmond advised looking at Paulin, confusing Ajax. ording to Ajax, the Paulin he knew will never fight someone without a strong reason, so he wanted to ask about it but fearing it may hurt Paulin''s feelings he withheld his questions for Paulin and asked Edmond. "Captain Edmond, can you briefly exin about the contest?", Ajax asked more about the contest diverting the silent air among them. "Hahahaha", Edmondughed loudly at Ajax''s question and started exining, "The Contest name is Champions contest which is hosted by the Royal Family in coboration with the three sects and it''s a seven-day long contest which is an attraction to the Zrochester Province and the Draton Kingdom". "Young elites from all over the Zrochester province who are not more than 20 years and who received an invitation from the Royal family can join the contest", Edmond looked at the attentive Ajax and Paulin and continued, "The most important thing is the rewards, but I will keep you in suspense for now because even I don''t know about it. But it will the most valuable reward, one can ever get, at least that''s what it was mentioned in the invitation". "Although they reward top 10 contestants, the reward for the top 3 is best and whenpared with the remaining rewards, all other rewards will pale inparison", Edmond finished about the rewards that are mentioned in the invitation card. Ajax''s face fell when he heard the details of the rewards are unknown. "For the next months, you have to fully focus on your cultivation and battle prowess. Every now and then I and Udo will have small sparring sessions. Any doubts?", Edmond finished what he wanted to say and asked for their doubts. "I have one", Ajax raised his hand. "Go on", Edmond replied to him. "Why are we, I mean me and Paulin are the only ones here, where are others?", Ajax wondered about Lewis and Jeff. "Actually, we only got two invitations with your names on them", Edmond answered sighing. "Why, is it because of the inheritance ground?", Paulin sked with a guess. "Yes, you two are the only ones who are not having any family or sect to your name, but still you managed to reach final stage of the inheritance ground and sessfully contracted an elemental spirit as a result you were acknowledged by the Royal family as young talents", Edmonds exined everything that is on the invitation. "Ajax, when did you reach the Commander realm?", only now, did Edmond discerned the cultivation of Ajax and asked. "I had a fortuitous encounter whichl helped me to reach themander realm quickly", Ajax simply threw everything on to an imaginary fortuitous encounter that he created on the whim. "Although it''s good to break through quickly, it is still not a good thing to rush your cultivation without a proper foundation", Edmond advised Ajax toy a proper foundation for his cultivation. "Sure, Captain Edmond", Ajax simply agreed with Edmond. Actually there is no need for Ajax to wait for stabilizing his cultivation, as long as he had enough essence of nature, he can continuously breakthrough no matter how many levels he wants. "Albeit, I need some battle experience also", Ajax thoughts were like this in his mind but nevertheless he agreed with Edmond. But he doesn''t know something that will change in the future after the system upgrade which will make him that he was wrong. "Okay then, from now on you need to spar each other for one hour daily, adjust the timing of the spar however you want but I need you to spar daily", Edmond finished and sat down to cultivate. "Yes sir", Ajax and Paulin answered in unison and left the room together. They adjusted their timing of the spar fro 5 PM to 6 PM in the evening and bid goodbyes. "I have to wait for three days for the system upgrade and my bloodline and the new system feature. I think I will die with anxiety in these three days", Ajax muttered while walking towards his room. After entering his room, he started his exercises with the body postures from Elder Boron as they were very useful for his concentration and improved his endurance to the pains, he practiced these body postures instead of cultivating. ********** For more chaptersplete the targets Please!

After exhausting himself with the 18 body postures, he thought back to the mysterious seed he got from the crate in the final phase of the inheritance ground. "No wonder, Captain Edmond don''t know, when it was not even known by the Summoner King who reached the peak of the King realm", Ajax took out the mysterious seed and observed it carefully. Earlier when Edmond was exining about the Champion''s contest, Ajax asked him about this small mysterious seed that he found in the inheritance ground. Edmond examined it for a while however he didn''t manage to find which tree''s seed is it and shook his head giving back the seed to Ajax. "Whatever, let''s study it in the future", Ajax tried all kinds of experiments with the seed but still unable to grow the sapling much less a tree and finally threw it into the Inner World. All his elemental spirits are cultivating in the Inner world. Whereas his spirit beasts, Lightning Dragon Hawk is healing its wounds and it is now in a much better condition than before and Twilight Destructive Dragon is sleeping without a care in the world. He only has one unit of the essence of nature in his Spirit Consciousness, so he soon started his cultivation. In the evening, Paulin and Ajax came to an open ground behind the squad building to spar. "Ajax, shall we start now?", Paulin who has the cultivation of level 6mander realm asked Ajax. "Anytime", Ajax replied with a confident look. ''Swoosh swoosh'' Ajax started the first move with his Spatial des but with only 10 units of the essence of energy. "If you want to do some damage you need to more than that Ajax", within moments, Paulin''s entire body is covered with a steelyer that deflected the spatial des with ease. "I know that, brother paulin. That''s why I prepared this for you", Ajax who was 15 meters away from Paulin, reached him when Paulin was looking at the deflected spatial des. ''Kick'' Ajax kicked Paulin with only 80 percent of his strength. Although Paulin defended the kick with his arm, he staggered 5-6 meters back from the impact of the kick. "That''s powerful", Paulin got shocked by seeing the strength of Ajax who is only level 1mander but he didn''t let Ajax know of his shock and with excitement-filled face, he lunged towards Ajax without holding back and punched Ajax. Ajax dodged it with ease but an unexpected kick from Paulinnded on back. "What?", Ajax got shocked with Paulin''s speed but his body defended the kick as he has the defense increment from the Sigmis Pendent. Ajax''s blood boiled as he felt the impact of the kick and lunged forward without holding back his strength. They fought for nearly an hour with their full power without holding back anything. But as they fought, Paulin got shocked by the battle prowess of Ajax and his series of attacks made Paulin mostly defend himself and he did not get many chances to fight back. "Let''s stop here, for now, Ajax", Seeing the exhausted look on the Ajax, Paulin called off the day. Although he has the upper hand, he mostly defended himself from Ajax''s continuous attacks and called off the sparring when he thought that Ajax required some rest. "Hmm", Although he looked tired, he can fight with the same momentum he fought earlier, for another 10-15 minutes however he agreed with Paulin anyway. "Ajax, do you know that you are a monster?", Paulin criticized Ajax half-jokingly for his inhumane stamina and strength. "No, I am a normal human", Ajax said seriously which made Paulinugh at his serious expression. "No one believes you that if they saw you fight like this though", Paulin seriously said holding back hisugh. "Ok then, see you in tomorrow''s session, I mean spar, Hahaha", Paulinughingly said and separated after entering their residence. Soon they returned their room to fresh up. That night everyone had a hearty meal. Except for Lewis though. He found out about the Champion''s contest and knew about Ajax and Paulin. But that didn''t let him down instead it motivated him to work even harder and be more powerful than them. For the next three days, Ajax followed the same routine. He practiced 18 body postures for one hour, 1-2 hours for training with Paulin and others, and the remaining time, he used for cultivation to increase his essence of nature in the Spirit Consciousness. Lewis and Jeff have the same cultivation levels which are at the peak of the elite soldier realm. So they mostly spared themselves and, AJax and Paulin are a pair in the sparring .... In the assassin sect, Mission hall, "Where did this brats go off to, it''s nearly seven days they went for that the 2 rewards mission but still not returned, Hmph", An old man with a pale look and a small build asked the youth in front of him. "Third Elder, don''t worry.?They might be rxing a bit after that mission", The youth with red robe replied to the old man known as the third Elder. "Hmph, you are overly spoiling your brother, Caprice",Third Elder scoffed at the youth named Caprice. Caprice carr smiled sheepishly at the words of the third elder. "But I am sensing that there is something wrong this time", the third elder felt uneasy and he didn''t why. "Maybe it is because of the Fire Sword Sect", Caprice know about thebined strength of his brother''s team and didn''t worry much. "Maybe", the third elder agreed. After the return of the young elites from the inheritance ground, the Fire Sword Sect, and the Combat King Sect totally sealed off their sects which caused tension for the assassin sect which didn''t know the exact reason for the seal. .... Soon the time required for the system upgrade ispleted. Ajax sat in hisfortable bed and looked at the remaining time Three seconds, Two seconds, One second ''Ding, System Upgradeplete. ''Ding, Adjusting the various features, please wait. ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 86: System Upgraded and New System Feature

86 System Upgraded and New System Feature

''Ding, The System Upgradeplete. ''Ding, Adjusting the various system features and others ording to the host preference, please wait. ''Ding, All adjustments are done, Now the host can check the features ''Ding, New system feature is now avable, please check it out. As soon as the system upgradepleted, Ajax checked his details which he missed to check after breaking through to themander realm instead of the new system feature. ''Ding, Name:- Ajax Race:- Human Spirit consciousness:- 1000 units/?6000 units Body cultivation:- Level 1mander realm Spirit cultivation:- Level 1mander realm (locked) Cultivation techniques:- Heaven and Earth elemental refining technique, Mysterious spirit cultivation technique, Cloud steps movement technique. Contracted Elemental spirits Unofficial elemental spirits:- 4 Official elemental spirits:-?0 Spirit beasts Contracted spirit beasts:- 1 Non-contracted spirit beasts:- 1 Artifacts:- Bloodlust spear(low grade), Sigmis pendant (Mid grade). The system features:-?User interface, inventory, inner world, quest tab, and Lottery. The holographic screen in front of him looked way cooler than before the upgrade which is more colorful. Ajax already knows about his cultivation levels, so he directly looked at his contracted elemental spirits section which is now divided into official and unofficial spirits. Just like the elemental spirits, his spirit beasts section also divided into contracted and Non-contracted beasts with one in each section. There is no change in the artifacts section, so he directly examined his new system feature ''Lottery''. ''Ding, The system feature:- Lottery Number of attempts left:- 3 Description:- A system feature that totally depends on the luck to get a reward from the system randomly. The attempts c to roll the lottery are gained from some mission rewards or breakthrough and some other things which the host has to reveal on his own. Note:-Please don''t curse at the system if you get some worst reward. "What the new system is a lottery?", Ajax froze when he saw the new feature is totally in the hands of the system as he cursed the system many times recently and feared that the system will give him some worst rewards after seeing the system note. "Oh, Almighty System, don''t stoop too low with this mortal kid and y with my life", Ajax prayed the system hoping that it will not y with his rewards when he uses his attempts in the lottery. ''Ding, The system doesn''t have anything in its hands, the reward drawn is automatic and it is entirely based on the sheer luck. "Huh?", Ajax didn''t believe it entirely but proceeded to check more details of the new version of the system. ''Ding, The level up conditions from themander realm are changed but the host can level up his contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits which are belowmander realm can be leveled up with the essence of nature that is required for them to breakthrough. "What? Why did it change and how I am going to level up from now on?", Ajax was very quick to ask his worries. ''Ding, Commander realm is an important realm for both body cultivators and spirit cultivators, so it is required for the host to do some hard work in order to dominate the higher level cultivators with lesser cultivation. ''Ding, As for how to level up is by doing missions from the quest tab. ''Ding, For every ''A'' rating mission aplishment, the host can level up one minor realm, For ''A+'' rating, two levels increment, and If the host managed to aplish the mission with the ''S'' rating, then he can level up by 5 minor realms. Note:- Mission danger rating should be ''B'' or above. A lengthy exnation was shown in front of him on the holographic screen. ''Although it''s a little bit troublesome, it is not a bad thing to do a mission and aplishing it with a higher rating will reward me more levels'', Ajax thought about the new conditions which are exciting than before which required to just umte the essence of nature and breaking through. "Then, is it possible to get any additional rewards other than level-ups like some treasures?", Ajax suddenly thought of a question and asked the system about it. ''Ding, Yes, the level-ups is not included in the rewards of the missions shown in the quest tab. Every mission has its own rewards, so the host doesn''t need to bother about the rewards. Ajax rxed a little when he heard that there will be rewards just like before. And finally thought about the bloodlines. But before awakening the bloodline, he wanted to test his luck in the lottery. "System, use one attempt in the lottery", Ajax politely asked the system with an innocent voice rather than his usualmand. ''Ding, Do you want to use one attempt in the lottery, Please confirm once again? "Yes", Ajax thought that the upgraded system has added the confirmation before consuming anything, so he just asked ''Yes'' in a polite way. ''Ding, Consumed one attempt and the reward for the host is been drawing, Please wait a moment. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for drawing out a Basic Alchemy book. ''Ding, Do you want it? "What? An alchemy book?", Ajax was neither excited nor dejected. Alchemy is also a profession that is as old as summoning. Although in the course of the time, many top-grade alchemy techniques were lost, some of them were preserved and many techniques were created from the preserved alchemy techniques albeit, they are only degraded version. If anyone wants to reach the peak of the alchemy profession, they need to dedicate their whole life to it without wasting any time cultivating their martial techniques. Although they can create pills that can increase their cultivation levels, it is not useful in the long run. Ajax knew all these things about the Alchemy profession from the Elder Boron who used to say about the different professions in his free time. So Ajax was not very much interested in the Basic Alchemy book. Storing the book in his inventory, he used another attempt in the lottery. ''Ding, Consumed one attempt and the reward for the host is been drawing, Please wait a moment. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for drawing out... ************ Please! Say no to piracy!

87 Bloodline Awakening

''Ding, Consumed one attempt and the reward for the host is been drawing, Please wait a moment. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for drawing out Mid-level fire element spirit stone. "Finally, the system is showing its true colors", Ajax shook his head and sighed but didn''t curse at the system because he has another attempt to roll in the lottery. Usually the spirit stones, they were using until now are all low-level spirit stones. Ajax knew that one Mid-level spirit stone is equivalent to 1000 low-level spirit stones. Due to the less essence of nature in the Zrochester Province, mid-level spirit stones are rare to find, but they are not non-existent. "What if it is equivalent to 1000 low-level spirit stones, thest thing I want now is spirit stones", Ajax sighed at the system cruelty. From all the killings, the escort mission from Uncle Ryan, and the longevity fruit mission, Ajax now has more than 30,000 low-level spirit stones, so he sighed at the mid-level spirit stone that was drawn out of the lottery. "Ok system, please use myst attempt", steeling his heart, he finally used hisst chance to draw a reward. ''Ding, Consumed one chance and the reward for the host is been drawing, Please wait a moment. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for drawing out a Commander realm elemental spirit stone (Dark-type) "Hahahahaha, I know, the system will not fight with me for cursing", Ajax was happy andughed loudly as he finally got the satisfying reward. "Now, Necros will be amander realm elemental spirit", Ajax instantly thought when he saw the dark type after themander realm elemental spirit stone. Undead is the sub-type of the Dark category, so the only elemental spirit under him who can use this stone is Necros, the undead elemental spirit. But Ajax didn''t upgrade Necros immediately, if he upgraded Necros here, it will definitely raise amotion in the building which he doesn''t want, so he stored the elemental spirit stone in the inventory and focused on the bloodline. "System, am I in the perfect condition to awaken a bloodline", Ajax inquired the system as he doesn''t want to be a fool likest time. ''Ding, The host is in perfect condition and ready to awaken the bloodline. Please select the bloodline you want to awaken. "Awaken Draconic Bloodline", Ajax already thought about the bloodline he wants to awaken, so without any hesitation, he selected Draconic Bloodline. ''Ding, The host chose the?err ger er er An error urred in the selection of the bloodline, ''Ding, Awakening the Abyssal Bloodline, please withstand the pain from awakening the bloodline. "What?", Before Ajax can even know what is happening, he experienced extreme pain all over the body. His blood started to boil and became extremely hot. Thin wisps of smoke came out from his pores of the body. "Its hot, hot. My body is on fire", Ajax was unable to bear the scorching heat from his blood and screamed but controlled his voice to not let anyone hear him scream. After a few moments of experiencing scorching heat, his blood became much thicker than before. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for sessfully awakening the Abyssal bloodline. Only when the much-awaited notification rang in his head, he felt the scorching heat disappear from his newly thickened blood, and as a result, he rxed falling on hisfortable bed. "System, why dd you awaken the Abyssal Bloodline when I clearly selected the Draconic Bloodline or you are taking revenge for cursing you?", Ajax angrily asked the system for awakening the wrong bloodline and making his bear the scorching heat for the bloodline he doesn''t want. ''Ding, Sorry for the inconvenience caused to the host. There was a glitch in the system for a second there? ''Ding, When the host selected the bloodline, there was some error due to an upgrade in the system earlier. ''Ding, But the error is now solved, so the host need not worry about any glitches or errors in the future. Hearing the system words, Ajax puzzled and thought that the system did that change in the bloodline awakening for his earlier cursing. "So, can you change it back to Draconic Bloodline?", Ajax asked the system with a smug look on his face. ''Ding, It''s impossible to change a bloodline once a bloodline is awakened. "Hmm", Ajax already didn''t have much hope that the system can change the already awakened bloodline, so he just nodded his head in the response to the system''s answer. "Let me see my awakened bloodline now", Ajax ordered the system as his old self. ''Ding, Abyssal bloodline (level 1) Description:- A powerful summoning bloodline, which will increase the powers of all the beings (Elemental spirits and Spirit beasts) that are contracted with the user and receive a boost in their fighting strength by a twofold. Side effect:- If the user is not focused when he used this bloodline, there is a chance of user turning insane and may die Conditions to level up:- 1) 6000 units of the essence of nature. 2) Level 1 of the elitemander realm in any of the body cultivation or the spirit cultivation. 3) At least 3 contracted elemental spirits or spirit beasts.(official or unofficial) "I wonder leveling up the bloodline may decrease the side effects ", Ajax hoped that level 2 of the bloodline should remove that side effect when he saw the conditions to level up the bloodline to level 2. "Whatever, I should be careful when activating this Abyssal Bloodline, otherwise ..", Ajax didn''tplete the sentence as he knew what will happen if things went south. ''Ding, Some new missions are able in the quest tab, please check it. Amidst his thinking, he got the expected notification from the system about missions. It is expected because he has toplete the missions with a good rating to level up if there is no mission, then how he will level up in his condition. Soon, he opened the system quest tab to look at the avable missions. ''Ding, Mission 1:- ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 88: Learning Alchemy

88 Learning Alchemy

Soon, he opened the system quest tab to look at the avable missions. ''Ding, Mission 1 Refine a batch of any rank 1 alchemy pills. Reward A Fire control alchemy refinement technique (Basic). Time limit:- 7 days Danger rating:- ''C'' Mission 2 Upgrade an Elemental spirit to amander realm by any means possible. Reward A chance to draw a reward from the lottery. Time limit:- 3 days Danger rating:- No danger Mission 3 Sessfully contract an official Elemental spirit. Reward Depends on the type of Elemental spirit Time limit:- 3 weeks Danger rating:- ''A'' Ajax saw the three missions in the quest tab. One mission, which very easy and there is no danger in it. That is upgrading any Elemental spirit. "Since I already have an extramander realm elemental spirit stone, it''s not a problem for me to get a chance to draw a reward from the lottery.", Ajax simply shook his head the no danger rating mission, which is just giving a chance to draw a reward from the lottery. But, he decided to upgrade Necros in a deste ce to avoid themotion caused by the upgrade. So, he looked over another mission that has only ''C'', danger rating to it. "Tsk, the reward that mission is somewhat bad", Ajax didn''t like the rewards, nevertheless he didn''t give up the mission and decided to start learning it. "Although, it''s time taking to learn Alchemy, it''s better to learn how to make my own pills instead of buys them at a very high price", Ajax convinced himself to learn Alchemy. Another reason, he wanted to learn Alchemy is, in the future, the quest tab will likely to give more Alchemy missions with better rewards, so it''s better to learn in his leisure time. Finally, he looked at Mission 3, which has a danger rating of ''A'' and will help him break through to the next level if he aplishes it with a good rating. If he can achieve an ''S'' rating in that mission aplishment, he can have a multiple level-up. "It says I have to form a contract with an official Elemental spirit in three weeks around the time of my birthday", Ajax thought back to the words of the system about the official contract. "ording to the system, I will enter the Elemental Spirit world on my birthday, until then I willplete the easy missions then", Ajax pondered for some time and decided to finish the easy mission before bothering with the ''A'' danger rating mission. After settling everything, he decided to sleep as he was tired after awakening his bloodline decided to n the pill-making mission the next day after waking up from his sleep. He showered and wore the night robes before going to eat the ordered food from the outside with the rest of the Hazegroove squad members. Edmond raised his brows when he saw the?Ajax who seemed to change greatly front he time he returned from the inheritance ground. ''And he seemed to change a little bit from yesterday when I saw his battle with Paulin'', Edmond liked the change in the Ajax who is much livelier than before but he didn''t ask him anything about his fortuitous encounters in the solo mission he went earlier. Soon, all the squad members gathered and started eating, ying jokes on one another. Mostly on Lewis who acted Tsundere. After eating, everyone went into their own rooms to rest or cultivate as they want. Next day early morning, "Offfoooo", taking a deep breath, Ajax started nning about the Alchemy mission "Step 1:- Learn the basics of Alchemy. Step 2:- Procure the pill recipe of rank 1 pill. Step 3:- Gather materials required for making the pill. Step 4:- Practice until sessful." Ajax carefully nned all the steps for his mission of pill making. "First step 1, learning basics", He quickly took out the Basic Alchemy Book from the inventory ''Ding, Item name:- Basic Alchemy Book Description:- Contains detailed information on various rank 1 and rank 2 herbs along with how to identify them. Rating:- Excellent. "An Excellent rating item is it that good?", Ajax didn''t think much about the book yesterday when he received from the lottery but after seeing its rating, his anger towards the system decreased. ''Ding, Do you wish to learn the content on the Basic Alchemy Book? As he tried to open the book to see what its insides look like, he got a system notification happy him even happier. "Yes", Ajax nodded swiftly without wasting any time. ''Ding, To learn, the host needs to spend 1000 units of the essence of nature. Do you wish to proceed with the consumption fo the essence of nature? "Yes", Ajax already knows there is no free lunch in the world, so he agreed instantly as he already umted the essence of nature for the past three days from cultivating with the spirit stones. Also, he thought it''s better to learn instantly by using the essence of nature rather than trying to waste a lot of time by remembering all the herbs'' names and their images just by reading. Ajax felt a small sting of pain in his head as though some type of foreign information is entering into his head forcefully. Although it is painful, Ajax who even endured the bone-cracking pain form the energy orbs two times and the pain from the 18 mysterious body postures, felt nothing but just a sting which didn''t hurt him much. ''Ding, 1000 units of the essence of nature are consumed. ''Ding, The host has sessfully learned the content from the Basic Alchemy Book. ''Ding, Congrattions on bing an Alchemy apprentice. "Since step 1 ispleted smoothly, now for step 2 and step 3", Ajax proceeded to step 2 and step 3 which require him to procure a pill recipe and the required materials for that pill recipe. "It''s time to take a look at the market square of the mercenary guild", With that thought, he changed into a neat set of a blue robe with a white border on it. ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 89: Mercenary Guild Market Square

89 Mercenary Guild Market Square

"It''s time to take a look at the market square of the mercenary guild", With that thought, he changed into a neat set of a blue robe with a white border on it. When he was about to leave the building of the Hazegroove squad, he met Paulin, Lewis, and Jeff who were talking about something. "Hey guys, what are talking about so seriously in the morning without inviting me?", Ajax jokingly inquired about what they are talking about. "Hi, Ajax, we are just about to call you but you were already here saving some time for us", Lewis excitedly started speaking. "Looking for me? What for?", Ajax puzzled and asked Lewis and others. "We were nning to go to the market square for the monthly auction conducted solely by the Mercenary guild and coincidentally today is also the market day of the square which is why we were hoping to try our luck in today''s auction and wanted to ask you to join us", Paulin gave a smack on Lewis''s head and exined clearly about their ns for today. "Actually, I am also nning to go to the market square, so let''s all go together", AJax agreed instantly to their n as he was also looking for the materials and the pill recipe anyway. ''Ifdy luck smiles on me, I can collect one or two treasures from the auction'', Ajax knows that with the number of spirit stones in his space ring he can easily gather one or two treasures even after purchasing his ingredients and pill recipe. Soon they left the residence building and reached the Market square. The market square is a square meant for trading, in which a market is held. It is an important feature of many towns and cities around the world. A market square is an open area where market stalls are traditionally set out for trading,monly on one particr day of the week known as market day. The market square in the goldcrest town is established by the Mercenary guild to exchange the items between the fellow cultivators and it is strictly maintained by the guild. Anywhere in the world, as long as any valuable treasure is exchanged between the hands of the cultivators, the one who is in the possession of that valuable treasure will be the target for every cultivator. That''s themon rule of the market squares. But in this market square, no one will even think about harming others much less killing them just because of the Mercenary guild backing all the rogue cultivators that entered the market square. Furthermore, it is maintained by three peak elite general realm cultivators of the mercenary guild who will take turns to watch over the market square 24x7. "Huh? Why are the guards over there are collecting spirit stones from the cultivators", Ajax asked as he was never went to the market square before. "This is your first timeing here, right?", Lewis started bragging as he was the owner of the market square. Soon, among the many useless things Lewis spoke, Ajax found some useful things. Every cultivator has to pay an entry fee of 100 spirit stones but if one is a mercenary they are exempt from the entry fee and can directly enter the market square just by showing their mercenary badge. Ajax and others showed their Hazegroove squad mercenary badges which gave some respect from the guards stationed at the entrance and the surrounding cultivators. Hazegroove mercenary squad is the squad that rose to fame in a very short amount of time and the one who is responsible for the rise of the fame to it is Edmond Hazegroove, who appeared 3 years back and single-handedly lead his mercenary squad to one of the top squads. So everyone respected the Squad and its Captain. "Wow", After entering the market square, Ajax looked at the neatly arranged stalls and shops and eximed in awe. "Auction will not start until 30 minutes, so let''s stroll all the stalls and shops to try our luck with any of the items", Paulin suggested to everyone, to check all the shops in the market square. "Let''s go there then", Ajax pointed to the nearby Pill store as he required the ingredients for the rank 1 pill and its recipe. "Sure", Everyone agreed and went into the no-name pill store. The no-name pill store is managed by an old man with long carry bags under his eyes. "Hello, young ones, what do you want to purchase, Pills, medicinal ingredients, cauldrons everything, we have everything in our store", The old man with carry bags politely asked his customers. "Do you have any rank 1 pill recipes?", Ajax asked politely as a reply. "Yes, we have many rank 1 pill recipes, which one do you want?", The old man didn''t expect the young men before him, needed a rank one pill recipe but nevertheless he politely asked what type of the pill recipe, he needed. "Huh, any breakthrough pill recipes will do", Ajax just wanted to try his hand at alchemy, not to dedicate his entire life to it. So, he just asked the mostmon breakthrough pill recipes. "Sure, wait for a second", The old man searched him space ring for a second, before taking out one jade slip. "This is one of the mostmon rank 1 pill recipes and it is called level breaking pill", The old man introduced the pill recipe name and continued exining, "This is very easy to refine and it only required three ingredients". After exining the old man gave the jade slip to Ajax. "How much is it?", Ajax asked after checking its contents. "Hmm", After thinking for a moment, the old man replied, "1000 spirit stones". "Hey, old man, it''s a daylight robbery. You are asking 1000 spirit stones for a copied paper, we will give no more than 100 spirit coins", Lewis shouted loudly and ced 100 spirit stones on the counter. "Deal", the old man took the spirit stones on the counter without any hesitation and epted the deal. ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 90: Auction Plaza

90 Auction za

"That old bastard, I am going to kill him", Lewis angrily cursed the old man of the no-name pill store. Aftering out of the pill store, Paulin and others continuouslyughed at him for his stupid deal, so he got pissed every time he think about that old man. Ajax did not only bought the level breaking pill recipe but also 20 sets of the three ingredients for that pill and a low-level mortal grade cauldron which cost him a total of 1000 spirit stones. Ajax didn''t negotiate the prices for the materials as he thought it was a reasonable price but if negotiated it can be less than 1000 spirit stones. "Lewis, just leave it, you can''t murder that old man with your strength, even if you have the strength you can''t kill him as long as he is inside the market square", Jeff rubbed the salt to Lewis''s wound making him angrier but Lewis didn''t say anything in reply instead he thought ''I will beat the shit out of you tomorrow, Jeff''. When he thought about this, a cruel smile formed on his face unconsciously making Jeff shudder. Lewis and Jeff are the sparring partners and Lewis was the one to win always, so he swore to take the revenge in their tomorrow''s sparring session. "Ajax, are you nning to be an Alchemist?", Paulin asked amidst Lewis and Jeff''s words war. "I just want to give it a try but not seriouslymitted though", Ajax replied smilingly as he already knows what''s in Paulin''s mind. "Good to hear, if you are not talented enough in the Alchemy, then its a waste of time for even trying. Nevertheless, you can try it but if you are unable to progress in that, then you should stop that and focus on cultivating the martial way", Paulin said with concern. They strolled some other shops in the market square but didn''t find anything to their liking, so they finally proceeded to the auction za. An auction za is an open ce with a stage that is big enough for 20 men to standfortably on it. A fat middle-aged man with a thin mustache and a speaker in his hands started speaking. "Hello everyone, I am your favorite fatso is back with some exciting treasures to auction", the fat middle-aged man called himself with his code name and started exining the rules for the auction. "Rule number 1:-No one should use their family names to intimate others, if you do so, you will be permanently banned from entering the market square. Rule number 2:- If you don''t pay the money for your auction item, then you will get a permanent ban. Rule number 3:- Just enjoy the auction to your heart''s content". "We already know the details fatso, just start the auction already", "Just start the auction already" "Yes yes, just start the auction already" As soon as he finished exining rules, everyone around the za started shouting for the starting item. "Okay then, the first item of today''s auction is the egg of the General realm equivalent spirit beast which is rank 5, opening bid 5,000 spirit stones", fatso shouted loudly when he announced the opening bid. No one expected an egg of the rank 5 spirit beast is ced as the first item, shocking every. "6000 Spirt stones", one cultivator who is wearing the fire sword sect uniform raised the bid by 1000 spirit stones without any hesitation. Seeing the fire sword sect''s uniform, many cultivators didn''t even think ofpeting against a fire sword sect disciple. "6000 Spirt stones, going once" "6000 Spirt stones, going twice" "7000 Spirt stones", Just when he thought, he will be losing the money on his first item, a voice that is just like a melody from heaven was heard by the fatso making him thank the owner of the voice in his head. The voice belonged to a youngdy whose face is covered by a thin mask and she wore a blue dress with has a blue luster to it. Although her face is covered by a mask, she looked just like a goddess who descended from heaven. "7000 Spirt stones, going once" "7000 Spirt stones, going twice" "8000 Spirt stones", the disciple from the fire sword sect shouted loudly, anyone who looked at him can say, how angrier he was. "10000 spirit stones", without wasting any time, the masked youngdy makes a raise in the price by 2000 spirit stones. "10000 spirit stones, going once", "10000 spirit stones, going twice", "10000 spirit stones, going thrice", "The egg of the rank 5 spirit beast goes to the beautiful youngdy", fatso, with his thin mustache smilingly dered the egg to the youngdy. "Going to the next item, it is a ve from the barbarian race with a cultivation level of peak elitemander realm, the opening bid is just 1000 spirit stones", the fatso introduced a barbarian who stood with an expressionless face behind the fatso. The barbarian was four-meter height with a bulky frame body full of scars. Seeing the barbarian like that, Ajax felt sorry for him and wanted to release him from that cruel fate, so he decided to bid. "2000 spirit stones", Ajax raised the bid by 1000 spirit stones for which he received a disgusted look from the youngdy from before. "3000 spirt stones", the masked youngdy raised the bid another 1000 spirit stones. "5000 spirit stones", Ajax directly raised the bid by 2000 spirit stones which made his friends shocked. "Ajax, why are you raising the bid?", "It''s not worth it, Ajax". "We can get a high-level ve with that amount of spirit stones, it''s not worth it", His friends continuously said their concerns about the bid but Ajax didn''t give any reply to them instead smiled at them. "8000 Spirit stones", the masked youngdy directly raised the bid by another 3000 spirit stones shocking the surrounding cultivators and mercenaries. "Ajax, just leave it, don''t bid any longer", Paulin worriedly said to Ajax fearing he might raise the price again. ************ Please! Say no to piracy!

91 Freeing the Barbarian Hunter

"Ajax, just leave it, don''t bid any longer," Paulin worriedly said to Ajax, fearing that he might raise the price again. "8000 spirit stones, going once", "8000 spirit stones, going twice", "10000 spirit stones," Fatso, who is already very happy when he heard the previous bid, felt that he was now over cloud nine with 10000 spirit stones bid made by the Ajax. "Ajax, what are you doing?" Paulin shockingly asked Ajax. "Do you have that many spirit stones to waste on a barbarian ve who is not even general realm" Lewis yelled at Ajax, being very reckless in his bid. "Actually, I have some spirit stones to waste but I don''t think I am wasting the spirit stones, it is just that I want to free that barbarian ve from the very," Ajax with a bright look in his eyes replied making his friends shocked. Although he said those words lightly, the youngdy in the blue robe picked up some from words from Ajax''s conversation, and the disgust on her face towards him was reced by admiration. "10000 spirit stones, going once", "10000 spirit stones, going twice", "10000 spirit stones, final", "The Barbarian ve is sold now won by the young mercenary, All of you give him, a round of apuse to him," Fatso shouted non- stop when the big is gone for 10000 spirit stone and was filled with a marvelous excitement. Soon someone came to the Ajax and politely handed him the contract stone along with the Barbarian ve, who followed in the tow. After giving him the contract stone, the attendant of the auction za left after exining about the contract stone and its uses. A contract stone is a type of spatial stone, which binds the spirit consciousness of a living being or undead being in it. As long as one has the contract stone in his hand, he will be the sole controller of the life and death of the being bound to the contract stone. "How to release the ve mark from the contract stone," Ajax asked the knowledgeable Paulin. "Just destroying the contract stone will free the ve from the binding," Paulin exined and jokingly continued, "Don''t tell me you are going to break him free from the contract stone and¡­..". "Kacha," Before he even finished his sentence, Paulin heard the stone breaking sound and looked at the Ajax, dusting off his hands from the crushed stone''s dust particles. "What?, You really n on letting him go?" All his friends asked in unison with their jaws dropped. Earlier, when they heard Ajax''s words, they thought he just wanted to keep that barbarian ve away from the clutches of the douchebag young masters and disciples of the main families and the top sects, respectively. But who would have thought he would let the Barbarian ve off by crushing the contract stone. "Yes," Ajax replied to his friends smilingly and turned his head to the shocked Barbarian who looked at the Ajax with a puzzling eye. "You are now free to go anywhere you want to go," Ajax said the Barbarian to go anywhere he wanted. After saying his words, he turned his attention to the next item of the auction. "The next item is the rank 3 pills healing pills make by the Rank 5 alchemy master in his leisure time. The three are 12 pills in each bottle and we are auctioning off all three of them together", The Fatso was already very content with his today''s profit just from the two items and decided to finish the auction quickly, so he put the three bottle of rank three pills together and decided to auction them as one time. Ajax already has Spirus, who is better at healing whenpared to rank three pills, which didn''t attract his attention, so he didn''t bother to bid for them and turned to look back as he felt someone is watching him, He was shocked to see the Barbarian, whom he freed from the contract stone is still standing motionless behind him with a sincere expression on his face. "Didn''t I already said to leave?" Ajax puzzled at him for standing still even after freeing from the ve contract. "Because I don''t have anywhere to go, Master," the Barbarian replied in a respectful tone, which didn''t sound polite but crude. "If I am not watching his eyes, I would have thought, he is scolding me," Ajax thought to himself in his mind seeing his sincere looking eyes. "If you are interested then you can follow me," Ajax thought for a moment before deciding to let him follow him in the future. "Thanks, Master. This lowly one swears that I will definitely clear all your obstacles from now on, until my until breath," The Barbarian swore loudly, shocking the surrounding cultivators. But the most shocking ones are Paulin and others near him because they saw Ajax crushes the contract stone, and in return, he got a loyal follower who swore to clear all his obstacles. "There is a way like this to gain loyal followers?" "How can this be?" "Even with the help of the contract stone, the owner of that contract stone can''t get absolute loyalty but now crushing the contract stones gave him one," "Am I dreaming," Ajax''s friends shocked by the turn of events from the crushing of the contract stone to getting a loyal follower. ''Ding, A Barbarian hunter who lost his hope to live in this world wants to find a meaning to his life by protecting the man who showed it, the Kindness which is not shown for him by anyone from the time the Demon King''s servants annihte its tribe. ''Ding, Do you wish to give a meaning to his life by allowing him to protect you? Two system notifications suddenly rang in his head, making him puzzle but took his chance to read them without acting weirdly. "Yes," Ajax took some time to read the system messages clearly before epting it. ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 92: Keshe and the Blessed Penden

92 Keshe and the Blessed Penden

When he read about the brief information of the Barbarian, he felt pity for him. A life without meaning is the worst thing that can ever happen to someone. ''Ding, The host unlocked a new system feature. Please check it or use the system guide to know more about it. "What?" Ajax almost blurted out loud but managed to withhold his curiosity and tried to wait until he moves to a deste ce with no one around him. But the auction is not over yet, so he decided to wait until the auction was over. One item after another is continuously auctioned off, but none of the things piqued his interest as he was in a hurry but controlled his excitement. Soon, the auction came to an end with thest item, a low-grade primitive stone that the masked youngdy bought bypeting with the same fire sect disciple from earlier, making him aughing stock in front of everyone once again. The masked youngdy who looked in her early twenties paid a price of 20000 spirit stones for the low-grade primitive stone, which helps rank one to rank three spirit beasts to purify their bloodlines. After paying the price and taking her items, she came walking towards Ajax. "Hi young friend, what is your name?" the youngdy asked the question politely. When the older man behind her saw that, he was shocked because he had never witnessed that youngdy in front of him act politely in front of anyone, but now she is acting gently before amander realm kid. "Hello big sister, My name is Ajax and these are my friends from the mercenary squad. What is your name, big sister? "Ajax introduced himself and his friends to the youngdy smilingly and asked about her. "My name is Keshe, nice to meet you" The youngdy smiled beautifully, making Ajax blush. Keshe continued after introducing herself, "Whenever you enter the middle section of the Cursed Abyss, activated this pendent I will pick you up." Paulin and others didn''t hear thetter words after introducing herself, so only Ajax and the older man behind Keshe were the only ones who listened to the words. The older man received another shock when he heard the second set of words. The older man was not the only one to get shocked, Ajax also shocked and didn''t understand the meaning behind her words. But before he wanted to ask about it, Keshe and the older man behind her were disappeared without a trace. Instantly he checked his surroundings but didn''t manage to find them either. But in his hand, a dark green colored pendant has appeared, and he felt a cooling sensation from it. ''Ding, Item name:- Blessed Jade Pendant Use:-???Helps to keep the mind calm and rxed. Description:- An ordinary Jade pendant that received a blessing of the King rank Spirit beast (Rank 7), which wereter given by the Spirit beast King to its offsprings. "If it was blessed by a King rank Spirit beast then don''t say me, she is an offspring of the King spirit beast and also a high ranking one at that", Ajax was shocked by this revtion and petrified at the spot. It''smon knowledge for everyone, as many cultivators already know that when a spirit beast reaches rank 5, they can learn human speech. When it bes a rank 6, they can transform into the human form and roam among human societies without any fear. The transformed spirit beasts only fear the King realm human cultivators, and for below that, they won''t bother taking another nce at them. "If she can transform into a human being then that means, she is already a rank 6 spirit beast, but I wonder, what she is doing here?"Ajax concluded on her strength and wondered what she was doing here, in a low cultivator''s ce. That''s right, it was a low-level cultivator''s ce because those who were having the strength above the General realm won''t show any interest in the items, theypeted earlier, but she bided for two things and took them with her. Those who were having the strength of the general realm and above would attend an Auction, especially for them, which was held every year. High-level cultivators and low-level cultivators also participate in that yearly auction but only a few. After the auction ended, Ajax and others walked towards their residence building while discussing the items they won in the auction. Lewis won a mid-level mortal grade Sword for a very low price that is only 1000 spirit stones, as for a reason, no one liked that sword, which looked likepletely charred from some kind of fire. But it still looked good enough to be called mid-grade artifact, so no one among the squad criticized him for the bid. Paulin got a set of talismans which has a shield skill stored in them. It can defend the user from an Elite realmmander cultivator''s full strength. But it is one-time use only. So he can defend ten full-strength attacks from the elitemander realm cultivator. Jeff got a set of rank two strength-enhancing pills, which cost him around 2500 spirts stones. As they walked towards the residence building, Ajax excused himself from the gang and ran towards a nearby deste ce that he is familiar with, just outside the Goldcrest town. Behind him, his new follower, the Barbarian hunter, followed the tow. "What happened to him." "Why he is running like that." Lewis and Jeff asked at the same time two different questions. "He said he wanted to practice some new fighting techniques to fight against me for our ''Weekly spar'' after 3 days", Paulin exined what Ajax said to him when they were in the auction za to Lewis and Jeff. "What?" Lewis and Jeff shouted in unison. "We can''t stay behind, Jeff. From tomorrow onwards, we will also increase our training," Lewis said to Jeff. "Agreed," Jeff agreed without any hesitation. Lewis and Jeff, who usually make fun of each other, agreed on the same thing for the first time. Seeing that, Paulin shook his head, controlling hisughter. ************ Please! Say no to piracy!

93 New System Feature

In an open field outside the Goldcrest town, a young man around 17-18 years old rests under a huge tree. He wore a purple robe that was covered in sweat and gasped for air. He is none other than Ajax, who is not even 15 years old but looked like an 18-year-old boy due to his excessive training from childhood. As for a reason, he was covered in sweat and gasping for air is due to running with all his might in the middle of the day in a scorching heat from the Sun. "Ufff uff," Ajax stabilized his breathing within a few seconds and checked his system notifications, which came when he was in the auction za. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking a new system feature. He used the regr system guide, whiches whenever a new system feature is unlocked. It will help him in understanding that feature quickly. ''Ding, System feature:- Follower tab Current followers:- 1. Barbarian Hunter Darbaudr Gifts avable:- one Use:- Whenever the host manages to gain a follower, a random reward will be generated depending upon the strength, loyalty, and character of the gained follower. So, obtain the loyalty of a strong cultivator to earn a greater reward from the system feature. Description:- The host, who is an excellent Summoner, as well as a cultivator, needs his own followers to deal with some small matters and errands. Note:- From now on, missions rted to followers are also generated in the quest tab. Rating:- Do ck off, host. "What a wonderful feature I unlocked without having any idea. It''s awesome, gaining a follower along with a reward", Ajax smirked at the new system feature and continued thinking, "From now on, I need to keep an eye for some good cultivators." But Ajax cursed at the system when he saw the rating. Previously, the system''s rating was used to be good, excellent, or bad, but it didn''t directly scold him. However, now it was mocking him in the rating. ''Ding, It''s because the new system feature depends on the host, so it''s suggested that the host work hard to gain more followers. Next, he proceeded to check for some more notifications in the inbox. ''Ding, A random reward is generated in the follower tab by gaining the Barbarian hunter as your follower with absolute loyalty. ''Ding, Do you want to open it? "Hmm, so the one reward that is avable in the Gifts avable section in the follower tab is from the Barbarian," Ajax nodded his head in understanding, "so his name is Darbaudr." "Open it," Ajax decided to open the reward as he was curious about what type of gift will be avable from gaining followers. ''Ding, A chance to cultivate and explore in the Five elemental world for ten days. With the time eleration of 10:1 with the host''s present world. ''Ding, Do you want to explore the Five elemental world now? "Huh?" Ajax shocked but didn''t know what this five elemental world was and where it was located, so he decided to ask the system, "System, what is this Five elemental world." ''Ding, A Five elemental world is a world that is filled with five types of elements, and it has many spirit beasts and many other living beings that are adapted to the conditions there and started living and finally evolved into various intelligence beings. The most important thing is that the essence of nature there is 1000 times purer than here. Another important thing is, the time in that world runs ten times faster than here. ''Ding, Do you want to explore the Five elemental world now? "No," Ajax rejected it after some thought. Although he wanted to explore it very badly, he had a spar with Paulin in 3-4 hours, so he decided to explore itter. Even with the 10:1 time ratio, he needs at least 10 hours to explore and cultivate in this world. So he rejected it. "This is something new; I want more of this type of rewards" Ajax hoped for this type of reward in the future. "Next, Necrose out," Ajax summoned the undead elemental spirit out of the Inner World. "Greetings Summoning Master," as soon as he came out, Necros saluted with a bow respectfully. "Necros consume this stone," Ajax handed it the recently gainedmander realm elemental stone that came out of the lottery. "Kacha cacha," as soon as he sensed the stone''s dark elemental energy, Necros put the stone into hisrge mouth without wasting any time and started chewing on it, making chewing sounds. ''Ding, Your death typemander realm elemental spirit Necros consumed elemental stone. ''Ding, It is undergoing a mutation due to the slight difference in the elemental stone, which is a dark type. Necros''s transparent body became more real during its evolution from the elite realm to themander realm while making some painful noises from itsrgemouth. As time passed, the dark light from its body subsided, and with a ''bang,'' he fell on the ground gasping for air from its small nose. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for the sessful evolution of the unofficial contracted spirit ''Ding, Necros element type is changed from Undead type to Dark-type. "Huh?", when he saw Necros falling on to the ground, Ajax thought that the evolution is failed and started sighing. Still, amidst his sighing, he got the system notification, which said that the evolution is sessful. "Not only did it broke through from the elite soldier realm to themander realm but also changed its element type which will help it to learn more skills," Ajax smiled at its sessful evolution and the element change. "Necros, are you all right?" Ajax asked with concern when he saw the Necros who is stillid on the ground. "I am alright master, just feeling some dizzy due to the element change," Necros slowly stood up from the ground and continued speaking respectfully, "Now I can learn more varieties of skills form the dark type." The current Necros is very excited and informed his master that its future skills could be varied from undead type skills. Nodding his head with a smile, Ajax checked its changes with the help of the system. ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 94: Devour

94 Devour

In one of the Hammergust family courtyards, "What did you say? there is no news from the assassin sect and its disciples?" the young man with a light golden color robe shouted at the kneeling servant in front of him. "Young master, they are not giving any reply to the mission we ced on their mission tab," the kneeling servant whose face is entirely covered in sweat replied respectfully. "Do you have any idea, why they are not replying to us?" the young master asked after thinking about the situation. "Actually, there is a rumour recently which spread like a wildfire among the five main families and the three sects," the servant wiping his forehead answered. "Don''t stop in the middle, continue what you are saying," the young man angrily shouted at the kneeling servant make him sweat again all over his body. "The rumour is that some unknown cultivators wiped the entire team of disciples of the assassin sect, who were on our mission, but no one knows whether it is true or false," the servant exined quickly, seeing the angry young master. "Okay then, you can go now," The young master asked the kneeling servant to leave. The angry young master is none other than the previous arrogant Luis. Thetter entered the final phase in the inheritance ground and managed to gain an elemental spirit and a lower grade spirit cultivation technique from the summoner king. Before entering the inheritance ground, he had small grievances with the Ajax''s group, and they became more significant in the inheritance ground when the final phase about to begin. "I think, that brat Ajax and Paulin must have got the invitations too for the champions contest from the Royal family," Luis Hammergust clenched his fists. He swore, "If you really participate into champion''s contest then pray you God because if you were to fight me, I am gonna kill you there in front of everyone." The champion''s contest has only some rules and killing the opponent is not one of them, as long as one kills his opponent before he surrendered, no one will me the killer and even promote him to next round. So, he decided to kill Ajax and Paulin if they were to fight against him that contest, which was going to be held in three months. After saying that, he summoned his elemental spirit, which looked yellowish and had a crown on its transparent head. "How much time do you require to break through to the elite elemental spirit soldier," Luis asked calmly to the summoned elemental spirit. "No more than 2 days master", The transparent being with a crown replied politely. "That''s good, here take this middle- level earth elemental spirit stone and cultivate quickly. As long as you reach the elite realm, I will use themander realm elemental spirit stone on you", He casually tossed the middle-level spirit stone to it and allowed to cultivate beside him. ...¡­... Back at the open space outside of the Goldcrest town ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Necros Element:- Dark type Cultivation:- Elemental Spirit Commander (Level 1) Skill:- 1) Confuse ray (Level 3), Attack skill 2) Undead Summoning (Level 2), Attack skill 3) Devour (Level 1), Passive skill "Element type is changed to dark, already know." "No change in the skills level up pattern." "One additional skill, since it breakthrough tomander realm," Ajax checked all the information on the Necros after the breakthrough. So he quickly focused on thetest skill Devour. ''Ding, Devour (Level 1):- By consuming any beings, living or undead, as long as they have the essence of nature in them, the user (Elemental spirit) can improve its cultivation level. Note:- There is a 5 percent chance to awaken a particr skill of the consumed being. There is an additional 10 percent chance when consuming dark types of creatures. Level 2 requirement:- Consume 100 beings withmander realm strength. "It''s an awesome supporting type skill to have which will help it increase its cultivation and at the same time it can awaken the consumed beings skills," Ajax never thought that Necros would awaken this type of skill. "And the level 2 requirement is also not very hard, with my strength and other elemental spirits, we can take a whole of them at the same time", Ajax thought it would be a matter of time before the skill reaches level 2. "But the problem is where to find that many spirit beasts without alerting a higher rank spirit beast," Ajax shook his head at his greed bitterly. Whenever a group of rank three spirit beasts was killed, The spirit beast king will send some higher rank spirit beasts to eliminate the one who killed them, so Ajax shook his head. He can kill the assassin sect disciples, but he can''t do it openly. If anyone noticed him and the matter was delivered to the upper echelon of the assassin sect, his days will be over and will be direct the target of the assassin sect. So he decided to leave the matter of killing the assassin sect disciples for now and thought that in his leisure time, he would kill some rank three spirit beasts whilepleting some missions from the mercenary guild and umting the spirit stones to cultivate. "Actually, I need to cultivate to upgrade my cultivation techniques and the level of elemental spirits (untilmander realm), when others are cultivating in seclusion to gain insights and all to breakthrough," Ajaxpared his cultivation to others and felt satisfied with his advancement because he didn''t have any bottleneck for the next realm. Behind the Ajax, the Barbarian Hunter Darbaudr glued his eyes to the actions of the Ajax but didn''t say anything, and it didn''t appear much shocked either making Ajax puzzled. "Darbaudr, are you not shocked to see the elemental spirits?", Ajax inquired the barbarian about his calmness. "Because, from where Ie from, it is amon thing," Darbaudr respectfully exined, "Actually I am not from this province." "What? You are not from this province and the elemental spirits are not amon thing there? What ce is it?" Ajax shocked by the unexpected reply from the barbarian and asked a couple of questions in one go. "I am from the --------- ************ Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 95: Darbaudrs Pas

95 Darbaudr''s Pas

"I am from the Ylercester Province, where there are many summoners who have multiple elemental spirits," Darbaudr, the Barbarian hunter, revealed something about himself which shocked Ajax utterly. "What?" From Elder Boron, he learned there are other provinces other than Zrochester Province with the more concentrated essence of nature. But he never revealed the Provinces'' names, which is why Ajax doesn''t know about the names. But he knows one thing for sure. These provinces are separated by some barrier which helps protect the lower level provinces from the higher level province. So, when he heard that the Barbarian Darbaudr came from another province made him shock as it is impossible to travel between the province without sufficient strength. So far, he doesn''t know what level of strength is required to travel between the provinces. "Yes, I came from another province after killing the army of the Demon king servants who killed my entire tribe and when I faced one of the 12 apostles of the Demon king''s I am utterly lost" When he thought about that fight between him and the Apostle of the Demon King. He clenched his fist and continued, "Finally, when I thought I can die in his hands, instead of killing me, he sealed my spirit consciousness and forcefully transported me to this province with some kind of Mysterious technique." "As soon as I woke up, I am in this province with my spirit consciousness tied to that contract stone, after that what happened is you know already," the Barbarian hunter exined, slowly controlling his anger. Ajax stood there listening to all the information Darbaudr has said about his past. After finishing exining his past, Darbaudr sighed as he continued, "Finally I lost all hope of revenge against the Demon King, as I can''t even kill one of his apostles who is rankedst among all his 12 apostles". Seeing his sad expression, Ajax felt sorry for him and said, "Although I can''t promise to help you with your revenge, I can help you reach your previous cultivation." Ajax knows how it feels not to take revenge even though you know that enemy as his story is also simr, but he doesn''t know the real mastermind yet. "It is me who owes you, the master for freeing me with that contract stone for which I am willing to protect you for your kindness, Master," Darbaudr respectfully said to Ajax. "Also, please don''t call me master," Ajax requested Darbaudr not to call him a master in the future. "Then I will call Young master, what do you say, master?", Darbaudr asked with the same respect. "Whatever," Ajax shook his head and asked, "What is your previous cultivation strength?". "I was at the peak of the elite general realm and just a step away from the King realm, Young master," Darbaudr''s words shocked Ajax once again. "What? You were that strong?" Ajax asked with praise in his voice. "Yes," Darbaudr replied. "And you didn''t defeat the 12th ranked apostle, even with that strength", Ajax''s breathing became fast as he asked Darbaudr abut the strength of thApostlele. "He has the strength of the low-level King realm" Ajax stopped asking any further questions as he has a long way even to reach that kind of strength and didn''t want to frustrated at his low-level cultivation. Even with the system, it isplicated to reach the King realm quickly, so why bother about something that much time to achieve anyway was the only thought in his mind. "Okay then, we should go back," Ajax said to the Barbarian Darbaudr and slowly walked towards the Goldcrest town. ''Ding, Mission 2, Upgrading an elemental spirit ispleted sessfully. ''Ding, An attempt to roll in the lottery is rewarded. Please check the lottery system feature. ''Ding, A new mission is generated in the quest tab, and Please check it in the quest tab. A series of system notifications chimed in his head, which stopped him in his tracks. "Huh?" Ajax was forgotten about mission two, and when he saw the notification, he smiled andughed at himself for forgetting his reward. But he didn''t check it and decided to use the lottery feature after getting more attempts to roll. Instead, he opened the quest tab to check the new mission, which is generated recently. ''Ding, Mission name:- Help the follower. Description:- How can a master not help his follower who is faced with a problem. Release the five seals ced in your follower''s spirit consciousness, The Barbarian Hunter, Darbaudr, by one of the Demon King''s apostles. Reward:- For each seal removed, the host can get a reward depending on the situation. Time limit:- No time limit. Danger rating:- A+ "I just said that I will help him recover his strength tofort him, but you directly generated a mission for it separately" Ajax didn''t believe the system will generate this mission, which he already decided to do he didn''t bother about it much. "Since there is no time limit I can slowly unseal his seals," Ajax rxed when he saw there is no time limit for it. After that, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and summoned the previously evolved Necros. "Necros, now you have evolved tomander realm, you can transform into a human, right?", Ajax asked Necros wanting to look at the human transformation of the Necros. "Yes, Summoning Master," he transformed into a human form like Volcanis within a few seconds. His human form is quite the opposite of the Volcanis, who looked like a Knight without armor. But Necros looked like a ce young man around 20 years old, with some dark and death energy surrounding him and making him look like a demon cultivator. Demon cultivators are the cultivator who uses human lives for their rapid cultivation, and they don''t like to socialize with anyone and remains individually their entire life killing their fellow humans, eating their flesh and drinking human blood. So they are treated as the enemy of humankind. Fearing someone might assume Necros as a demonic cultivator, he quickly summoned back him and rushed towards the residence building with the Barbarian behind him. ************ Please!

At the open space behind Hazegroove mercenary squad building, Lewis and Jeff were having a sparring session, whereas Paulin practiced some new fighting techniques with a middle-aged man who is donned in the knight attire from top to bottom. "cious, now use your Water-ice sword ande at me with your full strength," Paulin shouted at the knight who is some distance away from him. cious is his contracted elemental spirit, who is a dual attributed. Water and ice. After reaching the Elemental spiritmander realm, cious has transformed into a middle-aged soldier. He has a sword in his hand, continuously changing from the Water to Ice de and Ice to Water de. When he heard the order from his summoning master, cious rushed towards him with his level 3 Water-ice sword skill. Paulin didn''t take that skill easily as he used his metal hardening skill and dodged. Even though he avoided it at perfect timing, albeit his hand got a small scratch from the attack. "Now, shield," After dodging it, hemanded cious to defend his attack with his level 2 Water-Ice shield. Without wasting any time, Paulin sprang towards him quickly with his sword technique. cious excellently defended Paulin''s sword technique, but due to the powerful impact, he was forced back a couple of feet. "cious, you have the perfect attack skill and defense skill. What youck now is strength but due to the less essence of energy here, it is impossible to advance your level that easily", Paulin sighed as he thought of a way to increase the strength of his contracted elemental spirit. Ajax entered the training ground slowly, and as soon as he saw the ciou in the human form, he got a system notification about it. "Hey senior brother Paulin, is that your Elementental spirit beast?", Ajax asked Paulin, although he knew the answer to that question already. "Yes," Paulin nodded his head in agreement as he saw Ajax slowly walking towards him. "It looks very strong" Ajax didn''t praise the cious for Paulin, but he wholeheartedly said it because he sensed its aura and felt like it will defeat Volcanis with ease if Volcanis doesn''t have the King of fire. ''Furthermore, it is a natural nemesis for Volcanis,'' Ajax thought that fire couldn''t win against Water and Ice that easily. "So, shall we start our sparring?" Paulin asked Ajax with full of fighting spirit in his eyes. "If you are going to use cious, then I will concede," Ajax jokingly said, making Paulinugh. Although he can fight Paulin''s contracted elemental spirit in a one on one fight, he can''t stand a chance against Paulin and his contracted elemental spirit at the same time. "Of course not, I am saving cius for our weekly fight," Paulin replied Ajax shaking his head. "Come on then, senior brother Paulin," Ajax jumped backward and motion Paulin to attack first. Paulin rushed with his full strength of level 6mander realm without any hesitation as he already knew Ajax could withstand his attacks or at least not die. Soon they exchanged attacks from the most basic attacks to the most potent offense in their arsenal. They fought for more than one hour before ending the match with Paulin as the winner. Soon all the young ones went back to their room to rest. With the permission of Captain Edmond, Ajax managed to get a separate room for his first follower, The Barbarian Hunter, Darbaudr. After going back to his room, Ajax showered and changed into his night attire. He slowly took out the items he bought from the no-name pill store one by one. First, he took out a cauldron, which is only 1 meter in height and half a meter opening mouth. Carefully, he ced a set of ingredients into the cauldron in front of him and used the knowledge from the basic Alchemy book. He separated fire elements from his essence of nature, which is mixed with all other elements and used that separated fire elements to heat the cauldron. After using some units of fire essence of nature to heat it, he slowly used his spirit consciousness to separate the medicinal essence from the three selected ingredients, namely Ruby grass, Lake moss, and the final and most important of the three ingredients, The elephant ry. The refining of the Ruby grass and Lake moss is quickly done, and the medicinal essence is separated without much effort. Still, when he tried to separate the medicinal essence from the Elephant ry, he used too much strength, making the elephant ry destroyed. But he didn''t feel disheartened with the help as it didn''t destroy the medicinal essence from the other twp herbs. Quickly, he took out another elephant ry, sessfully separated the medicinal essence from it, mixed it with the other two medicinal essences, and increased the number of fire units of the essence of nature to the cauldron. He used his spirit consciousness to sense inside the cauldron and observed the entire boiling process of the medicinal essences. The cauldron he is using now is a low-grade mortal level cauldron, and he linked his spirt consciousness to it, so he can observe the process inside the cauldron and can regte the heat supplied to it. "This looks easy," Ajax smiled at the smoothly going process and thought it is easy to be an alchemist with sufficient time. What he didn''t know is that for ordinary people, it will take nearly more than one month to learn the technique of separating the medicinal essences from the herbs. But with the help of the Basic alchemy book from the alchemy king, he gained from the lottery he managed to do within a few minutes. Finally, he concluded that this basic alchemy book was not an ordinary thing at all. It is not ordinary because the alchemy king who wrote this book dedicated his enter life to modify the refining techniques over and over again until they reached perfection. And with the help of the system, he learned some of the basic techniques he wrote in that basic alchemy book within seconds using the essence of nature. Ting, (Author Note:- This sound is from the cauldron which means the refining of the pill ispleted) As soon as he heard the cauldron sound, he expectantly opened the lid of the cauldron. ************ Please!

Ting, As soon as he heard the cauldron sound, he expectantly opened the lid of the cauldron. Just as he opened the lid, he was hit by a burnt smell suddenly and coughed as the ck gas enter his nostrils. "What?" Ajax was shocked, and his hopeful, smiling face turned ugly at the output of his refining. "Where can it go wrong. I followed the pill recipe and the basic refining techniques exactly as they were mentioned", Ajax dejectedly thought about his mistake in the process. ''Ding, The host has used more than required heat, which caused the pills to turn in to powder and resulted in the rise of the ck smoke. Just as he wondered about his failed refining, a system notification rang in his head, helping him understand the reason behind the failed refinery. Even though he learned all the basic refining techniques, there needs to be some practice to that learned technique to refine the pills sessfully. So Ajax consoled himself as he justcked some training in those basic refining techniques. "Hmm," Ajax quickly cleaned the cauldron and repeated the same process of separating the medicinal essences from the herbs for the second time. He sessfully separated the medicinal essences from the herbs and mixed them in the cauldron closing the mouth with the lid, and observed the mixing process carefully and supplied fewer heat elements than the previous time. Slowly he noticed the mixed medicinal essences started forming small round shapes, which made Ajax happy. Soon he heard the ''Ting'' sound from the cauldron, which means the pill formation ispleted. Excitedly he opened the lid to look inside only to see the 12 pills that turned back into medicinal essence. "Where did it went wrong this time?" Ajax frustrated as he failed for the second time also. ''Ding, The host used less than required heat, which caused the refined pills unable to remain in the solid form and turned back into the liquid state of the medicinal essence. Just like before, the system notification rang in his head, exining the reason behind the failed refining. "Let''s try one more time," Ajax repeated the same process. ''Ding, The host has used more than required heat, which caused the pills to turn in to powder and resulted in the rise of the ck smoke. "One more time," Ajax remained focus and continued the process for another time. ''Ding, The host used less than required heat, which caused the refined pills unable to remain in the solid form and turned back into the liquid state of the medicinal essence. ''Ting'' "It''s the seventh time I am opening the lid of the cauldron hoping for some refined pills," Ajax muttered as he took a deep breath before proceeding to open the lid. He repeated the process seven times, with each time getting a new revtion about the alchemy. "Hahahahhaha," Ajax continuouslyughed when he opened the lid of the cauldron. Inside the cauldron,id 18 pills, which are shining with the red luster. Slowly he took out the 18 pills from the cauldron and felt satisfied with them. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for refining the rank one pills ''Ding, Mission 1:- Refine the rank one pills arepleted. The reward is stored in the inventory, and please check it. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for sessfully embarking on the path of Alchemy ''Ding, New mission rted to Alchemy is generated in the quest tab please check it. Ajax was shocked to see the series of system notifications in his head, which caused him to feel dizzy with that many ''Ding'' sounds. Before checking them, he analyzed the quality of the rank one pills he refined. ''Ding, Item name:- Level breaking pills Grade:-?Mortal grade (Rank 1) Use:-??When consumed, it increases the essence of nature inside the spirit consciousness and helps the consumer breakthrough a minor realm in the Soldier realm. Restrictions:- Can only be used by humans and spirt beasts of below the elite soldier realm and rank two, respectively. Rating:-?Refined by a greenhorn who just started walking the path of Alchemy. "Huh? So these pills can be consumed by the spirit beasts also?", Ajax didn''t know about it as he didn''t saw anyone feed their spirit beasts these level breaking pills so far, which made him more excited as he owns two-spirit beasts in his arsenal. "But it''s a pity though, even if both my spirit beasts take these pills, it will not help them, as they were already crossed rank 2", Ajax sighed but didn''t lose hope as he can refine higher rank pills in the future which will help his spirit beasts. His Lightning Dragon Hawk, which he named Snow, was already on the verge of breaking through to thete rank three after the fierce fight with the Single Horned Water Python. As for his other spirit beast, the Twilight Destructive Dragon, which was hatched from the egg and reached the early rank two already in the inheritance ground. So Ajax wanted to find higher-level pill recipes in the future to help himself and his spirit beasts. With a thought, Ajax stored the 18 mortal grade rank one pills in the inventory. After storing the pills, he wanted to check the system notifications, which came earlier. Before he can check the notification, he fell unconscious on the floor beside thefortable bed. "This brat, want to be an Alchemist?", Captain Edmond, standing in front of the Ajax''s closed door, puzzled and shook his head. "He is already talented in a martial way, then why is he wasting his time on that crazy time-wasting profession," Edmond sighed lightly as he thought it''s a waste of time for Ajax to walk both Alchemy and Cultivation at the same time. When he smelled the burnt smell earlier, Captain Edmond hurriedly came in front of Ajax''s room but didn''t enter his room, fearing that he might distract him at an essential time of refining. But what he didn''t know was that Ajax sessfully refined rank one pills and slept like a log on the floor beside hisfortable bed. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

Next-day Morning, Ajax, who was sleeping on the floor, opened his eyes andzily stood up from the ground. "Why am I sleeping on the floor when I had a nicefortable bed beside me," Ajax rubbed his headzily and thought about what happened yesterday. "I stored my rank 1 pills in the inventory but after that everything is a blur" Ajax didn''t remember what happened to him after storing his pills in the inventory. ''Ding, The host lost consciousness bypletely depleting the essence of nature, after refining the rank one pills for seven times. A system notification rang in his head, which helped him understand what happened to himst night. "I only had a few units of the essence of nature, yesterday I am too focused on refining the pills and forget to check the spirit consciousness. What would have happened if I tried eighth time, refining the pills?", Ajax shuddered at the thought of consequences of insufficient essence of nature while refining the pills. "I need to keep a look at the essence of nature consumption when I refine the pills from the next time," Ajax added that note in his mind and went to clean himself. After cleaning himself, Ajax went downstairs to eat the ordered breakfast with other squad members. "Ajax, are you nning to be an Alchemist?" While eating his breakfast, Captain Edmond asked Ajax calmly without any expression on his face. "No, but I want to give it a try and refine some pills in my leisure time," as he said that, Ajax looked at Edmond. Ajax never saw that expressionless look on Captain Edmond''s face before and wondered what happened. As for a reason, he wanted to refine the pills and be an alchemist is for the future missions assigned by the system through the quest tab. Furthermore, he likes the feeling of refining the pills, and his mind felt refreshed after he woke up this morning, which he rted to alchemy. "If you are unable to refine the pills, it best you leave it early and focus on your cultivation and strength for the Champion''s contest," Edmond suggested Ajax. As he detected, the burnt pills smell more than a couple of timesst night, making him think that Ajax is not gifted with the Alchemy. In Edmond''s perspective, Ajax is more suited to the Martial way than the Alchemy path. And he thought it''s a waste of time for Ajax to refine pills which are not sessful. "Sure, Captain Edmond," Ajax replied politely, as he already knows what he is thinking. When he heard Edmond''s first question, Ajax thought that Captain Edmond has smelled his burnt pills yesterday and assumed that he was not gifted with Alchemy. So he just agreed with him without saying anything. After finishing his breakfast, Ajax returned to his room. Before leaving for his room, Ajax politely said to Edmond and Paulin, "I think I am on the verge of a breakthrough to level 2 of themander realm, so I want to enter seclusion to breakthrough and I will be unable to attend the sparring session". "Sure, I can spar with cious until you breakthrough to level 2 of themander realm", Paulin instantly agreed as it was a good thing for Ajax to a breakthrough which will increase his battle strength. Captain Edmond nodded his head in agreement. He felt happy as he thought that Ajax heeded his advice and stopped refining any burnt pills which will waste his time in vain. In the actual case, Ajax wanted to use his chance to enter the Five-elemental world to explore and cultivate for ten days in there and only 10 hours in here. Using this chance, he wanted to increase his and his team''s overall strength there. After returning to his room, Ajax locked his door and checked yesterday''s system notifications. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for refining the rank one pills ''Ding, Mission 1:- Refine the rank one pills arepleted. The reward is stored in the inventory, and please check it. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for sessfully embarking on the path of Alchemy. ''Ding, New mission rted to Alchemy is generated in the quest tab please check it. After seeing all the system notification, Ajax curiously opened the quest tab to check the newly generated Alchemy mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Alchemy maniac Description:- Refine any type of rank one pills 100 times sessfully. Mission progress:- 0/100 Danger rating:- No danger Reward:- A Mysterious reward box Time limit:- One month Penalty:- Sealing one major realm of the cultivation. "Hey system, are you trying to make me into an alchemist or what?", when he saw the description of the mission, Ajax freaked out. Refining a pill sessfully is not always possible in the Alchemy. If an alchemist has a 50 percent sess rate, he will be considered an elite in that particr rank, so when he saw that the required to refining a 100 times that is in only a month, he was utterly shocked. "And what''s with that penalty?", Ajax asked the system. ''Ding, If the host doesn''tplete the mission in the given time, the host''s cultivation is sealed by one major realm. For example, the host has the level 1mander realm''s cultivation level. If you fail to aplish this mission within the given one month''s time, the host''s cultivation is degraded by the system''s seal to level 1 of the Elite soldier realm. "What? Are you fucking kidding me?" Ajax cursed at the system to which the system didn''t give any reply as usual. After cursing the system for a while, they checked his inventory for the reward for aplishing the refining the rank one pills. ''Ding, A Basic Fire control alchemy refinement technique skill book ''Ding, Do you want to learn it? "For free?" Ajax asked the system, as he has no more than 50 units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, so he decided to ask the system first rather than bing a foolter. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

99 Basic Fire Control Refinement Technique

''Ding, It is free to learn. ''Ding, Do you want to learn it? "Of course I will learn it if that skill is free", Ajax nodded his head to learn the skill. ''Ding, Injecting the knowledge of the Basic Fire control alchemy refinement technique into the host''s mind. ''Ding, Please bear with the pain. As soon as he received the second system notification, he felt a sting of pain in his head. Still, that pain didn''t bother Ajax very much as he endured the pain much more potent than this before when he was breaking through the realm and levelling up the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique. The knowledge injecting process continued for more than five minutes before the pain subsided in his head. ''Ding, Basic Fire control alchemy refinement technique is learned. ''Ding, While using this technique, there is an increase in the sess of pill making by 50 percent. "Oh, this is a good sign for starting the Alchemy maniac mission", Ajax felt some hope again when he saw the use of the Basic Fire control alchemy refinement technique which will increase his pill refining sess rate by 50 percent. But before starting the mission, he wanted toplete the trip to the five elemental world and checked his spirit consciousness. Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 60 units/ 6000 units. "I need to umte more units of the essence of the nature to upgrade Spirus and it to Commander realm quickly", Ajax thought of his current problem which is insufficient essence of energy and the time it is taking to umte the essence of nature is tiring him out. So he wanted to use his reward from the follower tab now. Still, when he thought about the official contracted elemental spirits which he will get in the future, he assumed it would be a waste to use this excellent opportunity now. "I don''t how many elemental spirits I am going to have in the future, but the current me is still powerless before giants like the main families and sects, so let''s use this chance to improve my overall strength along with my spirit beasts and contracted elemental spirits", Ajax finally decided to go to the five elemental world. "System, can I bring Darbaudr to the five elemental world with me?", Ajax asked the system about Darbaudr. ''Ding, No, the host can''t bring other beings that are not contracted with him. "Then what about Snow?" Ajax raised another question to the system about his non-contracted spirit beast, The Lightning Dragon Hawk. ''Ding, If you wish to bring any beings with you to the five elemental world, then they must form a contract with you for you to bring them to the five elemental world. The system projected the reply in front of him. "Can''t I use the Inner world system feature to help them travel to that world?", Ajax puzzledly asked the system about the Inner world. ''Ding, Inner world system feature is still at a low level, and please upgrade it first by storing enough nts and increasing the essence of nature generated by it to store beings other than spirit beasts. "Hmm", nodding his head and decided to upgrade it whenever he got a chance, and he summoned the Snow. The current Lightning Dragon Hawk is in the perfect shape with pure white features and almost has the same height as him. As soon as the Hawk came out, it rubbed its head against Ajax affectionately. In return, Ajax caressed it''s white features smoothly. "Snow, do you want to form a contract with me?" Ajax asked the Snow, assuming it can understand the meaning of the contract. To his surprise, it nodded its head in agreement to form a contract with Ajax. Without wasting any time, Ajax''s spiritual sense entered into its spirit consciousness. Its spirit consciousness was entirely white and filled with lightning elements of the essence of nature, unlike the spirit consciousness of the Destructive Twilight Dragon, which is filled with dark elements. Slowly he ced a mark on its spirit consciousness which didn''t resist him andpleted the contracting process. ''Ding, The host sessfullypleted contracting the Lightning Dragon Hawk. ''Ding, The loyalty of the Lightning Dragon Hawk is increased from a close friend to rtive. "So, the contracting process helped me increase its loyalty", Ajax smilingly hugged it before sending it back into his spirit consciousness. Next, he summoned all his unofficial contracted elemental spirits and his first contracted spirit beasts, the Destructive Twilight Dragon from the Inner World. He said something about the five elemental worlds he knew from the system before sending them back into his spirit consciousness just like the Snow. After sending them into his spirit consciousness, he decided to check his items which are stored in the inventory. "System, show the items that are stored in the inventory leaving behind the clothes, and a weapon", Ajax ordered the system to show his items except for his weapon and clothes. He stored some extra clothes before he went on an individual mission earlier and the Bloodlust spear is also stored in the inventory as it will attract huge attention if he carries it around. ''Ding, Inventory Strength portion????x 1 Soldier Elemental spirit stone x 1 Commander Elemental spirit stone x 1 "Hm, strength portion can be used in case of encountering a high-level enemy. As for the elemental spirit stones, it is for my first official contract elemental spirit to directly breakthrough to the Elemental spiritmander realm", Ajax nned on how to use the items in the inventory carefully. When he learned about the official and unofficial contracted elemental spirits, Ajax understood one thing. That was, the meaning behind the words of the Summoner King, which was to save themander realm elemental stone for his official contracted elemental spirit and allow it to break through to themander realm as soon as he gets contracted. After checking all his thing, Ajax got finally ready to go to the elemental spirit world to explore and cultivate there. "System, I will use the chance now, to go to the Five Elemental World", Ajax ordered the system with an expectant look on his face. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 100: Five Elemental World

100 Five Elemental World

"System, I will use the chance now, to go to the Five Elemental World," Ajax ordered the system with an expectant look on his face. ''Ding, Opening a portal to the Five elemental world. ''Ding, The host will be teleporting to a random position in the five elemental world. ''Ding, The host needs to prepare for anything after teleporting to the Five elemental world, as there will be many ferocious spirit beasts lurking in the forests, and various unknown species are inhabited everywhere. As he was walking towards the portal, which is opened out of thin air, he heard the system caution messages and tried to stay alert even before entering the portal. The portal closed as soon as Ajax went into it without a trace. ...¡­.. "Huh? What''s with the sudden imbnce of the essence of nature?" Captain Edmond, who sat in his room, cultivating opened his eyes when he sensed the sudden change in the essence fo nature in his surrounding for a moment. But he didn''t sense anything after that one moment, so he thought it must be someone who achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation and didn''t bother much about it. Without wasting any time, he immediately immersed in his cultivation. ...¡­. In the Five Elemental World, In a dense forest that is covered withrge, durable, and tall trees for who knows how long, a portal appeared silently and from the entrance, a young man who looked 17-18 years old came out. As soon as Ajax came out of the portal, he felt somewhat dizzy before stabilizing himself. "Huh?" After stabilizing himself, he sensed the surrounding rich essence of nature and which is full of life elements. As he sensed the abundant life elemental essence of nature, he summoned Spirus first before summoning other elemental spirits and his spirit beasts. Among all the contracted elemental spirits, only Spirus enjoyed the feeling of her cultivation increasing slowly but much faster than when she cultivated in the Inner world. As for the other elemental spirits, they didn''t feel anything as they are not life elemental beings. "I think Spirus and me are the only ones who can increase cultivations by staying in this location", Suddenly Ajax thought of a problem of having different elemental spirits as everyone required a different type of the essence of nature to cultivate. Amidst his thinking about the current problem, an ck coloured silhouette sneaked at him from behind at lightning speed. But Volcanis with his fire sword shed at it burning it in the ashes. ''Ding, Killed a rank two pearl- eyed ck fox Ten units of the essence of nature are gained. Ajax looked behind him, only to see the ashes of the thing with tried to assassin him. "A Pearl- eyed ck fox? But I wonder what it looks like", Just as he wondered about how the spirit beast looks like, he saw a bunch of shadows rushing towards him. "Sorry, it''s a wrong wish, I don''t want to know how it looks like", At the sight of more than 500 or even 1000 of the ck shadows rushing at him and his team, Ajax''s face turned ugly. Even after seeing them, he and his team were more than ready to take the attacks of the iing ck shadows. He used his full power punches to smash the skulls of the Pearl-eyed ck foxes, that were rushing towards him. Only now, he got the clear view of the Pearl- eyed ck fox whose entire body is ink ck and only 1-1.5 meters in height and 1 meter in length. The most important thing is their eyes looked just like pearls making them look like a ghost. Volcanis used his fireball and fire asteroid skills on the Pearl eyed ck foxes who are attacking in a group to burn them all into ashes. Spirus used the absorb and drain on a group of individual ck foxes that are separated from the group. it used his only skill Sand dunes to suck a group of ck foxes for only some time as he didn''t have the strength of the elite spirit soldier yet and dyed then as much time as possible for others to Kill them. The ones who are most excited are the Necros and the Destructive Twilight Dragon. They loved to eat the dark elemental spirit beasts after killing them and absorbing all the dark elements from the dead spirit beasts and increased their own cultivation. Although Necros cultivation didn''t increase much due to his cultivation is higher than the rank two Pearl-eyed dark foxes, the dragon''s cultivation was growing at a visible rate. As they killed the ck foxes that areing towards him, he continuously got the system notifications in his head exining the amount of the essence of nature gained by killing them. ''Ding, Killed a rank two pearl- eyed ck fox Ten units of the essence of nature are gained. ''Ding, Killed a rank two pearl- eyed ck fox Ten units of the essence of nature are gained. .. .. .. .. .. ...¡­. "System, why the hell I am getting very low essence of nature from killing a rank two spirit beast which is in the rich essence of nature world?", Ajax got frustrated at the low units of the essence of nature; he is gaining from killing. Ajax took a short breather from the iing attacks and asked the system about the reason. Actually, he thought he could get more units as the spirit beasts are born and grown in this rich essence of nature, Five elemental world, but he only got ten units of the essence of nature for killing the rank two spirit beast. ''Ding, The Pearl-eyed ck foxes are only rank two spirit beasts which are not even half strong as the host, so due to the level of the host is being much higher than the enemy, the essence of nature gained is also low. The system reply made him understand now. Since it is easier to kill the rank two spirit beasts which are only half strong as him, therefore the number of units of the essence of nature he gained is also less. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check the quest tab for more details. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy!

101 Series ques

''Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check the quest tab for more details. Amidst his fighting, a new system notification came in his head regarding a new mission. Ajax used his costliest skill, the spatial des using 500 units of the essence of nature, killing nearly 100 ck foxes which gained him approximately 1000 units of the essence of nature. With all the killing from before, his almost empty spirit consciousness has filled by nearly 600- 800, So, he used this chance to kill the ck foxes with the spatial des using 500 units of the essence of nature to reduce the stress on his elemental spirits and spirit beasts. "Although I don''t want to use this Spatial des skill, to gain more essence of nature by using no-consumption skills to kill. Still, this is also not bad to kill the spirit beasts, which will save time for me", Ajax calcted and satisfied with the number of the essence of nature gained by using Spatial des. After he used the Spatial des to kill the ck foxes, it relieved the pressure on his team. Although, elemental spirits and Lightning Dragon Hawk also have their own strongest attacks, Ajax ordered them to use only necessary skills because, if they use the strongest attacks, they will be weakened after using it. As they don''t know how many spirit beasts they have to kill and how strong will they be as the time does on, so he decided to save their strongest attacks forst. Ajax quickly checked the new mission generated in the quest tab. ''Ding, Series quest:- ''Find the Mystery behind the appearance of the Dark elemental Pearl-eyed ck foxes in the life elemental environment. Quest 1) Kill all the rank two pearl-eyed ck foxes. Progress:- (200/ 1000) Rewards:- 1) A random dark elemental skill. 2) Unlocks the Quest 2 Danger rating:- B Description of the series quest:- Find out the reason behind the appearance of the ck foxes which are a dark element type in a life element type environment in a series of quests. Only bypleting the quest, one can unlock quest 2. Ajax doesn''t have any time to continuously stare in the thin air to look at the holographic screen in front of him. He only kept the progress in his mind, which was showed (200/1000). "So, there are 800 more rank two ck foxes to kill", Ajax looked around him which is entirely covered by the dead bodies of the foxes and also surrounded by the many ck foxes which are rushing towards him and his team. Ajax didn''t waste any time, directly using his Spatial des continuously taking out more than 50 ck foxes in an instant. The scattered ones are taken care of by the Snow and Dragon. Wave after wave of the iing spirit beasts was taken care of by Ajax and others. Soon they killed all the rank two pearl-eyed ck foxes. ''Ding, Quest 1 of the series quest ispleted. ''Ding, Quest 2 Kill all the rank three ghosted-eyed ck foxes. Progress:- 0/10 Rewards:- 1) Mid-grade primitive stone 2) Unlocks quest 3 "What the fu*k", Ajax unconsciously cursed at the system after seeing the next quest. Before he can vent his anger on cursing the system, a Pearl-eyed ck fox much bigger than the ones he killed before appeared. Soon after the first ck fox, a second, third keep on emerging from who knows where. Only after ten rank 3 ck foxes, whose eyes are transculent came, the emergence of the ck foxes did stop making Ajax rx. Although he saw 10 in the progress bar in the quest, he continued to stay alert for the emergence of another spirit beast. After making sure there are only ten rank three ghost-eyed ck foxes, Ajax released a sigh of relief and ordered his team of elemental spirits and the spirit beasts. "Necros, let me see what you summons full strength is?", Ajax ordered Necros to use the level 2 undead summoning. Necros''s level 2 undead summoning can summon two undead beings with the same strength as him, that is themander realm strength. "They can take care of two ck foxes, Undead Python can take care of one ck fox, Volcanic with his king of fire can deal with two rank three spirit beasts", Ajaxmanded everyone to attack one or two rank three ck foxes depending on their strength. As for Spirus, she is not a match for a rank three spirit beast, so she backed them with her healing skills. After assigning the tasks to the Elemental spirits, Ajax ordered Snow to fight two spirit beasts. Ajax knows that with its bloodline, it''s not an impossible task to kill two rank three spirit beasts, So he didn''t show any mercy to Snow when it came to fighting. As for him, he took care of the three spirit beasts. Soon everyone rushed to attack each other. Necros kept one eye on his undead summon, and the other one on the others fight. In between, he used his level 3 confuse ray to distract the ck foxes and help his teammates in defending the four on ten battle. Four from Ajax''s team fought the ten from the ck Foxes team. it, who is only at the peak of the elemental spirit soldier realm, used his sand dunes on the enemy spirit beasts to distract them only for a second. In that one second, the rank 3 ck fox gets killed by the opponent they are facing. ''Ding, Killed a rank three ghost- eyed ck fox 100 units of the essence of nature are gained Soon, Ajax got the first kill notification that came from the opponent in by the Volcanis. His opponent lost bnce for just second with the interference of a Level 1 Sand dune from the it, which caused its life. Soon two notifications came by the killing made by the Necros undead summons. Snow was also not slow either. It directly used her lightning w to tear one ck fox and took another one in the sky and yed with it for a while before dropping it to the ground. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

102 4 vs 10

Ajax, who was fighting the three rank 3 ck foxes just stalled for time as he was unable to defeat the three rank 3 ck foxes with his Level 1mander realm strength. Even though he was not that strong where he can kill the rank three spirit beast with his bare hands, it didn''t mean they entirely dominated him. Instead, it was he, who dominated them with his sudden Spatial des and the sharp Piercing attacks from the bloodlust spear. He continuously used his cloud steps movement technique for some sudden attacks amidst his fighting. Although the Spatial des didn''t kill them, it didn''t leave without giving them some bloody scars as he used 1000 units of the essence of nature while releasing Spatial des. Soon he got the back up from his elemental spirits and Snow, which made the battle one-sided and the fightpletely quickly after the backup. "Ummhuu", Ajax released a sigh of relief when the battle is over and looked a the corpses of the ghost-eyed ck foxes all around him. "Necros, devour them all without leaving behind a trace", Ajax ordered his Dark elemental spirit to use histest skill ''Devour''. Devour can absorb any type of corpse and convert the essence of nature in that corpse to dark elementals which are used to increase his own cultivation. But Dark-type corpses are very much useful as it didn''t require any conversion and can be directly absorbed by him. Since these ck-foxes are dark types and had a rank 3 strength which can help Necros greatly with his spirit cultivation and the ''Devour'' skill can be progressed somewhat towards level 2. Withholding the desire of consuming the corpses until now, Necros directly jumped at them and devoured slowly in front of the ring gaze of the Destructive Twilight Dragon. The dragon turned towards Ajax with an innocent and pity eyes, which made him feel sympathy and ordered Necros to leave two corpses for the twilight dragon. As soon as he ordered Necros, the dragon rushed towards a ck fox corpse and munched on it delightedly but watching it eat make Ajax puke. Whenpared to twilight Dragon, Necros''s eating is much simpler. He directly swallowed the corpse with his originalrgemouth which turned evenrger, enough to consume the body of the ck fox. ''Ding, Quest 2 of the Series quests ispleted. Reward (Mid-grade primitive stone) is stored in the inventory. ''Ding, The final quest of the series quests Find out the reason behind the appearance of the dark-elemental spirit beasts (Ghost-eyed ck foxes) in the life elemental environment. Reward:-?Mysterious?reward box Danger rating:- A "What? The danger rating is A??", Ajax shocked to see the danger rating of ''A'' because this was the first time he has got an ''A'' mission. Ajax managed to get out of the shock very quickly and waited for Necros and the twilight dragon to finish their delicious meal, at least for them. After finishing its meal, the twilight dragon fell on the ground with its eyes closed which made Ajax skip his heartbeat for a second. But upon checking on it, Ajax felt all his worry was in vain as he sensed that it was stabilizing the consumed Dark elementals from the corpses of ghost-eyed ck foxes by sleeping. "I think, it will break through to the mid-level rank 2 orte rank 3 afterpletely absorbing the essence of nature", Ajax hoped it would be stronger quickly so that he can have another trump card in his sleeve. "As for the mission, if Iplete it with a good rating, I can level up at least one level", He thought back to the level up conditions after the system upgraded. With a goodpletion rating, he can get an additional reward of breaking through the levels, so he became alert and checked his surroundings to find out the mystery behind the appearance of the ck foxes here. He saw a pitch-ck dark cloud in the distance, so he carefully walked towards it before summoning back the beings who have the cultivation level of less than the Commander realm. That left behind Volcanis, Necros, Lighting dragon hawk, andst but not least the Undead Water python who has the strength of Commander realm. Soon he came to the pitch-ck dark cloud. Below the dark cloud, a huge monster that looked like an Anteater whose corpse has been rotting for who knows how long. The corpse itself looks like a big castle which continuously releasing a foul smell. Closing his nose, he went nearer to the corpse unwillingly for the sake of the mission. Just when he was only 5-6 meters away from the corpse, suddenly something came out of the corpse abdomen scaring Ajax. The thing that came out of the corpse didn''t waste any time before rushing towards Ajax. Ajax was unable to see that thing clearly because it came very fast that Ajax only saw a ck sh. Ajax was unable to move the iing attack fo the ck silhouette as though he was frozen by something that didn''t allow him to move. Just as he felt that death was almost confirmed in the hands of the iing silhouette, a white shadow came in front of him like lightning to take the attack of the silhouette for Ajax. The white shadow is none other than his rank 3 spirit beast, Lightning Dragon Hawk, Snow who has the strength of the peak-level rank 3 with the Lightning Dragon bloodline and it will not lose out to any of the low-level rank 4 spirit beasts in speed. "sh~" The iing silhouette didn''t stop with rushing and attacked the Snow, which resulted in the injury for lightning dragon hawk. Blood gushed out from the injury on its wing. As soon as it finished the attack, the silhouette disappeared into thin and Ajax can also move freely. After he was freed, he ran towards the Snow, to check the wound on the wing. Seeing the wound on its wing, his heartache as Snow took that attack for him which resulted in the injury. Before he can think the thing that attacked him has disappeared, it came towards him with the same attack from the previously withdrawn position. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

103 Mutated Ghost-eyed ck Fox

Before he can think the thing that attacked him has disappeared, it came towards him with the same attack from the previously withdrawn position. Just like before, Ajax was unable to move, and he ordered the Undead Water Python to act as a shield along with the Necros'' summoned undead beings. From behind the Python and the undead summoned beings, he used the Spatial des with 2000 units of the essence of nature, which is the limit he can use as of level 1mander realm strength. ''Click click.'' ''Swoosh swoosh~'' The spatial des slowed down the speed of that ck silhouette a little when they hit it, and Undead water python rushed at it with the same speed as that of the ck silhouette. ''Bang'' Undead water python and the ck silhouette collided and undead water python was the one who got deflected by the impact of the ck silhouette. The ck silhouette speed also slowed down as it stopped moving and stared at Ajax and his team murderously. The ck silhouette has now appeared clearly to Ajax as it has the same features of the ck foxes he killed earlier but much smaller than rank 3 foxes and bigger than rank 2. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Mutated ghost eyed ck fox. Strength:-?Peak rank 3 Bloodline:-?Anteater Kinkajou Description:- A regr ghost eyed ck fox which consumed the meat and essence of the Anteater Kinkajou and became a mutated ck fox that has the strength of the low-level rank 4. After seeing the system notification, Ajax has a clear idea about it. "Not only this thing has Bloodline, but it also mutated by consuming the huge corpse which looked like a giant anteater and who knows where it came from", Ajax once again observed the corpse of the humongous spirit beast called Anteater Kinkajou. "Volcanis use inferno", "Necros while it is fighting with Volcanis, distract with your level 3 confuse ray", Ajax ordered Volcanis and Necros simultaneously to attack the mutated ck fox. Volcanis used his inferno skill which he got after breaking through to themander realm. As soon as he used inferno Skill, his entire body was covered by the purple mes, and his strength was increased with that. When he was in his inferno form, all his body stats like strength, movement speed, and the body defense will be increased. He rushed towards the mutated ck fox, like a fire asteroid. The mutated ck fox didn''t dare to fight head-on with Volcanis even though it has the strength of the peak rank 3 and kept dodging with its speed. From the back, Necros sent his undead summons to assist Volcanis in his fight against the ck fox and waited for a chance to use his Confuse ray along with Ajax who was also waiting for an opportunity to attack it with his Spatial des. Volcanic used fired asteroid at also rushed towards it, with his inferno skill. Although the nutated ck fox dodged the fire asteroid in time, it was hit by the Volcanis inferno body and sted off into a nearbyrge tree. But it stood up like nothing happened and eyed Volcanis thoughtfully. However, as it was staring at Volcanis, it was hit by Spatial des from Ajax, and a confuse ray from the Necros. As the mutated ck fox was looking at its surroundings confusingly, a fire asteroid hit it. Even from the spatial des and the fire asteroid, the mutated ck fox stood up with its bloody wounds and looked at Ajax and his team. Seeing that there is no chance to win against Ajax and his team, the mutated ck fox turned around to flee away. "Just let it go", If it wants to leave, Ajax has no way to stop it, so Ajax just allowed it to leave as he and his team were entirely exhausted with all the attacks they made in order to deal with it. Just as he was trying to sit to take a small rest, the mutated ck fox which escaped for a 100 meters away mysteriously came floating back to the corpse and fell down. The mutated ck fox was also confused as much as Ajax and checked its surroundings only to see Ajax and his team staring at it with an evil grin on their faces. "Volcanis, go finish it", Ajax ordered Volcanis, who was still in the inferno mode. The mutated ck fox is visibly very tired and cowered in front of the Volcanis, inferno form. When Volcanis used his inferno, his movement speed, attack speed, and defense will all increase for a time period of 10 minutes along with his passive skill ''King of fire''?which increases his fire attack by another 50 percent making him extremely strong. Volcanis slowly walked towards the cowering mutated ck fox, which made his entire team restless for some time. Although he didn''t have any strength to fight the volcanic, It had enough to escape. Without thinking about anything, it immediately turned back and escaped towards another direction from before hoping that it can survive. However, the same process repeated, just like before. As soon as it ran around 100 meters, it was mysteriously brought back by some magic force and dropped near the corpse. But the ck fox tried to escape again from another direction. Volcanis didn''t stop it from escaping the third time as Ajax asked to not interfere with the mutated ck fox''s escaping. Ajax ordered Volcanis like that, as he wanted to find out what is happening with the ck fox and what is that thing, bringing it back to the corpse every time as it tried to escape. After repeating the escaping process for some time, the mutated ck fox is dead tired and unable to move any more and waited for its death. ''Step step.'' Volcanis moved towards it slowly step by step. The mutated ck fox looked at Ajax as though it was begging him to not kill instead of looking at his killer. "Oh, this thing is an intelligent one for sure", Ajax thought in his mind and wondered, "Is it possible to form a contract with it?". ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

"Oh, this thing is an intelligent one for sure", Ajax thought in his mind and wondered, "Is it possible to form a contract with it?". "Volcanis, stop", Ajax thought for a while and stopped Volcanis from killing it. The mutated ck fox finally saw some hope when it saw Ajax ordering Volcanis to stop, and with its tired body, it staggeringly went towards Ajax in an attempt to impress him. "Do you want to form a contract with me?" He asked as he looked at the nutated ck fox that is staggeringly walked toward him. ''nod~'' As if it understood the meaning behind his words, the mutated ck fox nodded his fox head innocently. Ajax was not shocked since he knew, as the rank of the spirit beast increases their intelligence also increases with it. ''But one thing is sure. It is much more intelligent than average rank 3 spirit beasts'', He kept his thing in his mind and askeSystemem, "System, help me with the contract here". ''Ding, Since the host is in the weak state, thSystemem will help you with the contract for this one time. ''Ding, cing the host''s spirit mark on the spirit consciousness of the mutated ck fox. ''Ding, The contracting process is failed ''Ding, Analyzing the reason for the failure, please wait. ''Ding, The mutated ck fox is connected to the corpse of the Anteater Kinkajou. As long as the body of the Anteater Kinkajou is not destroyed, the mutated ck fox can''t be contracted. The system notifications came like a shock after shock to Ajax as this was his first contract failure and thanks to thSystemem, which found out the reason for failure, he understood some details. "So, it is because of this corpse the ck fox was unable to escape, I guess", Ajax rted the failure in its escape to th corpse, but he doesn''t know how the body, that is dead for who knows how long can control this spirit beast. "System, do have any suggestions to clear this huge corpse from here?", Ajax asked thSystemem in his head. ''Ding, There are three possible ways to clears this corpse ''Ding, One, to let your Destructive Twilight Dragon eat the carcass but it will take many weeks to consume entirely. ''Ding, Two, to let your dark elemental spirit to consume the corpse, but even so, it can be done in a few days. ''Ding, Store it in your Inner world, turning a small part of your consciousness into a dark elemental region which will be useful for dark type beings to increase their cultivation. ''Ding, What do you want to choose? "Third one will do", Ajax said after a moment of thinking. If he let Necros or Dragon consume the corpse of the Anteater Kinkajou, they can easily break through to the General realm at the very lest and peak general realm at the maximum. Still, it is a time-consuming process, and Ajax didn''t want to waste any time on it. Ajax also thought that he could store it in the inner world and let his dark elemental spirit and the spirit beasts to consume. Still, once he stored the corpse in the inner world, the body will be disintegrated instantly and be a dark elemental region. "At least that''s what system said", He directly didn''t select the third option before asking all the questions he had a system, and after only its exnation, he chose the third option. ''Ding, Please go near to the Anteater Kinkajou''s corpse Ajax followed the system instruction and went near to the body, which is in a dposition state with his nose closed. ''Ding, ce your hand on the Corpse. Cursing the System, he lightly ced his hand on the corpsed, which was instantly sucked into his inner world. ''Ding, Disintegrating the Anteater Kinkajou''s corpse in the inner world and converting a piece ofnd into the Dark elemental area. Time topletely dissolve the body into the inner world:- 11 hours 59 minutes. Soon a system notification came informing him about the time taken to integrate the corpse into the inner worldpletely. As soon as the corpse disappeared the huge pitch-ck cloud in the sky vanished without a trace, and it became a clear view for Ajax to saw the blue sky. "Until the corpse is fully disintegrated, there is no way, I can form a contract with you", Ajax exined to the mutated ck fox patting its head gently. The mutated ck fox also didn''t say anything and allowed him to pat its head which isfortable to it. "Why all the dark element ck foxes came here?" Ajax asked while he caressed its smooth back which has some wounds but not severe. "Is it because of the Anteater corpse?" he asked, what he thought the answer was. ''shook'' The mutated ck fox shook its head disagreeing with the Ajax. "Then what is it?" Ajax puzzled at its reply and asked another question. The ck fox lightly bit the hem of his robes and motioned its head to follow it before walking towards the ce where the Anteater Kinkajou''s corpse previouslyid on the ground. Curiously, Ajax followed it closely and went to the location. As they reached the ce, he saw that the mutated ck fox dug out a ck orb the size of a football from the ground. The ck fox brought the ck orb near to the Ajax''s foot. Ajax carefully bent and picked it up and examined it with thSystemem. ''Ding, A Dark elemental Spirit beast king''s Essence gem is found. Ajax got a notification in his head along with the holographic projection in front of him make him shocked. Because an Essence gem of amander realm is much harder to find, but now he found an Essence gem of a Spirit beast king. "I must be dreaming, and this is all not real", Ajax felt as he was in a dream and pinched himself only to scream in pain. "With this thing, my trip to this Five elemental world is very fruitful", Ajax excitedly hugged the mutated ck fox. While he was at it, he got a system notification, ''Ding, ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 105: Thunder pools water

Sessfully tamed a mutated ghost-eyed ck fox, rating increased to ''B+''. Retrieved a half-dposed Anteater Kinkajou''s corpse, rating increased to ''A.'' ''Ding, Overall mission aplishment rating, ''A.'' "Uffoo", Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the overall mission aplishment rating. "System, if it is ''A'', then where my additional reward", Ajax didn''t forget the new level-up conditions. For every ''A'' rating danger mission, if he aplished the task with a good rating, he can gain an additional reward from the system which is to level him up depending on the aplishment rating. Aplishment rating ''A'' will level him up by 1 level. Aplishment rating ''A+'' will level him up by 2 levels. Aplishment rating ''S'' will level him up by 5 levels. ''Ding, Since the hostpleted an ''A'' danger rating mission with an aplishment rating of ''A'', the host''s cultivation can be increased by one minor. ''Ding, Do you want to level up now? The much-awaited notification finally came making Ajax excited as this was the first time he was levelling up after the system upgraded. "Yes", without any hesitation, he epted the level up. As soon as he epted, he felt some force was entering into his body, making him rxed andfortable all over his body. ''Ding, Level up to the level 2mander realm is sessful. Ajax was bewildered seeing the simple notification from the system saying him hat the level isplete. He thought it would be a painful process to level up, but it finished before he can even prepare for the pain he thought woulde with the level -up. "Anyway, who doesn''t want painless level-ups?", Ajax simply felt happy for the first painless breakthrough or level-up. When he broke through the minor realms in the soldier realm, although he didn''t felt much pain, there was some pain at a particr time of breaking through the levels. But after that level-ups, he feltfortable all over the body. Whereas here, he only felt afortable feeling all over his body when breaking though the minor realm (levels) in themander realm without any pain. "System, Mysterious box", Ajax silently thought of the reward from the earlier mission which was stored in his inventory. Soon, a mysterious gift box of one cubic meter appeared in his hand. ''Ding, Do you want to open a mysterious gift box? "Yes", Ajax hoped that it contains something good as it is a reward for a series quest and it''s from an ''A'' danger rating mission. ''Ding, A mysterious gift box is opened. ''Ding, The host got a 1000 litres of water from the thunder pool. "Water?" Ajax never heard of the thunder pool and its water, so he focused one water icon in the inventory to check for its stats. ''Ding, Item name:- Water of the thunder pool. Quantity:- 1000 litres Properties:- The water has 1) Healing properties 2) Strengthening the body 3) Breakthrough for stagnated cultivation (Peak general realm or below only) Description:- An item from the Thunder realm, where the thunder essence of nature is vibrant and concentrated. Note:- The thunder pool''s water has many unknown properties, and please reveal them by yourself host. "Damn! This thing is from the thunder realm?" Ajax shocked because he knows some things about that thunder realm. ording to Elder Boron, the thunder realm is a paradise for those cultivators, who practice thunder arts, and spirit beasts with thunder attribute. But since immemorial no one found that ce and finally some cultivator concluded that the thunder realm is a myth and it''s not a real ce. However, Ajax got a thing from a forgotten realm from a mysterious gift box which made him think, that the system is not a thing of this world or maybe not of this universe. "System can I store it in the Inner world and turn it into cultivation ce for Snow to heal and cultivate?", He asked the system to turn a small piece ofnd as the thunder cultivation paradise. So that?Snow, the Lightning Dragon Hawk can heal its injuries and cultivate, in that paradise. ''Ding, The host can store it to turn in to thunder cultivation paradise, but there is a small chance of failure due to the low level of the Inner World. "How much chance of failure are we speaking here?" Ajax asked the system about the probability of failure. ''Ding, Thirty percent chance of failure. "Then it''s better to wait until the chance of failure is none", Ajax seriously decided not to waste the thunder pool''s water until he gets a 100 percent sess rate. He summoned the Snow and let it consume some thunder pool''s water to heal its injury from earlier. After that, he checked the remaining time for the corpse in the Inner World to dissolve and integrate with the Inner Worldpletely. ''Ding, Time topletely disintegrate the corpse into the inner world:- 10 hours 59 minutes. "I will cultivate here then until the integration of the corpse with the Inner World is done", Ajax found an abundant life elemental essence of nature location nearby and summoned Spirus to cultivate along with him. Since she was born from the life elemental essence of nature, the surround essence of nature was gathered around her which even help Ajax to cultivate faster to umte more essence of nature using his level 2 Heaven and earth elemental reffing technique. Before he started cultivating, he ordered Volcanis and undead Water python to guard them. As for the Necros and the destructive twilight dragon, they were busy absorbing the energy from the devoured rank 3 ck foxes from the earlier.

106 First elder

While Ajax was in the Five elemental world, the assassin sect''s mission hall was in a heated discussion about, a team of their disciples who went missing after taking a below-average danger rating mission. "What yo you think, third elder?", A ck-robed older man who was thin and pale asked the third elder of the assassin sect. "I don''t know, but there is a small chance that the Hammergust family from the five main families may be behind all of this as they are the ones who issued the mission", the third elder replied politely to the ck-robed old man. "Really?", the ck-robed old man asked, raising his brow. "Yes, First elder, recently all the five main families are having joint meetings and are discussing something serious. I think they are nning something behind our back", another old man who looked somewhat younger than the previous two, politely replied to the ck-robed old man addressing him as the first elder. "Yes, First elder, what the fourth elder said is correct as I also got some news that the five main families are trying something", the third elder quickly agreed with the fourth elder of the sect. "Hmm", the first elder didn''t say anything and thought about something as he gazed into the distance. "I think, there is going to be a battle between main families and sects, but I can''t predict when will it''s going to happen", after gazing into the distance for sometime, he continued saying, "However, one thing is for sure, it will happen around the same time of the champion''s contest". The first elder words shocked other elders. As they were still in the shocked state, the first elder coughed lightly making all others woke up the shock, and he continued, "I will discuss this with Grand Elder and Sect leader". The assassin sect''s power structure is very simple, just like many other sects or families. At the top of the power structure was the Sect Leader and below that was the Grand Elder. After Grand Elder,es the 12 Elders who manage different halls of the sects like a discipline hall, mission hall, and others. The most powerful of the 12 Elders was the First Elder, so everyone listens to him. "Okay then, everyone leaves now. Third elder, you stay behind", the first elder asked everyone to leave except for the third elder. Soon everyone left the mission hall leaving the fist elder and the third elder alone. "Third Elder, why are worrying about one team that gone missing very much?", after everyone left, the first elder asked the third elder slowly. "First Elder, if it is any other item I wouldn''t have bothered much about it, but the problem is my disciple Caprice", the Third elder heaved a long sigh as he continued, "His brother was in that team, and he really cares about the little brother of his and recently instead of preparing for the champion''s contest, he is wasting his time investigation about the missing team". "Oh, that Caprice Carr whom you fought with the second elder in the disciple selections, right?", the First elder asked remembering the selection event where two elders fought for a disciple. Finally, the third elder managed to tempt him intoing under his tutge angering Second Elder. "Yes, First elder", the third elder nodded his head in agreement. "He achieved a cultivation strength of peak elitemander realm at the age of just 21, and he is presently at the bottleneck to reach the General realm...Sigh", at the end of his sentence, the third elder sighed at his disciple but didn''t find any words to say. Because even if he were in his ce, he would have done the same anyway. "So, what do you want to suggest?", the first elder asked the third elder. "Instead of waiting for an attack on us, we will attack the Hammergust family?", the third elder said with a cruel expression on his face. "Sigh¡­..", the First elder sighed at the words of the Third elder and sighed before shaking his head. "I think, no one will support your idea as it was not worth for bing the enemy of all other main families because of one elite disciple when there is no evidence of any of the five families killing our Assassin sect''s disciples. Okay, I have to go now", the First elder rejected the idea right away before leaving the mission hall. ''Crack'' The Third elder clenched his fist in a rage when he saw the first elder was leaving. ...¡­. In the Five Elemental World, Ajax who sat under arge tree was entirely focused on umting the Life essence from the surroundings at a rapid pace. Ajax was not the only one who was absorbing the essence of nature rapidly. Besides him, the Life elemental spirit, Spirus absorbed the life essence of nature at an even faster than Ajax. It''s only two hours since they entered the cultivation. Still, Spirus already achieved a breakthrough to level 2 of the elite elemental spirit soldier and was reaching the peak of that secondary level. As for others, they are doing their respective roles like guarding the Ajax, healing their wounds, and absorbing the energies from the enemies they killed earlier. ...¡­. In an unknown region "Congrattion, senior brother", A young man who looked 15-16 years asked a young man who just woke up from his bed. The young man on the bed looked to be around 17-18 years old. "It''s all because of the guidance of the Elder Boron and his resources", the young man who just woke up politely said to the young man who congratted him earlier. Although he replied to the young man before him, his gaze was on the older man who stood behind that young man. "Yes, it''s all thanks to the Elder Boron. If he weren''t reduced us in the cursed abyss, we would have already died by now", the young nodded his head agreeing with the young man on the bed. "If only, he was with us now it would be worth celebrating but..", The young man on the bed suddenly started saying something, but he was interrupted by the young man before him, "No need to worry, Elder Boron, said that he would be fine". ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

"If only, he was with us now it would be worth celebrating but..", The young man on the bed suddenly started saying something, but he was interrupted by the young man before him, "No need to worry, Elder Boron, said that he will be fine". "Hm, Damon, where is Hector?", the young man asked standing from the bed. His eyes looked sharp, and his body excluded a life elemental essence of nature. "Hector became more stubborn when he saw youplete the awakening process sessfully and went to practice the techniques which Elder Boron gave us", Damon replied pointing his finger to the outside of the simple cottage. "Also Senior brother Jason, what is the elemental spirit you formed a contract with?", Damon asked the young man who just stood up from the bed. These young men are none other than Damon, Hector, and Jason who survived the massacre andter saved by the Elder Boron in the Cursed Abyss. After saving them, they exined everything to the Elder boron about what happened in the Silver Orphanage and how they escaped. At the end of their exnation, they cried a lot for Ajax who sacrificed himself for them to escape from the massacre. From beginning to the end, in his exnation, Elder Boron never showed any expression on his face. As though he didn''t care about Ajax or anyone from the Silver Orphanage. "Come on now, since Ajax saved you, when you meet him in the future, you will return him what you owe to him, Understood?", Elder Boron expressionlessly said to them before they were knocked down by him into unconsciousness. After they woke up, they were inside a small cottage with some projection talismans of Elder Boron. In the Projection talisman, a projection of Elder Boron help them understand various things, techniques, and also the most important thing, about Summoners and how to form a contract with elemental spirits and all other essential things. Everything was exined clearly in the talismans. And just today, Jason managed to form a contract with an elemental spirit in his dream as he reached 15 years before a few months. Just like Ajax, Jason and others looked more aged than their actual age because of the exercises and practices they did from an early age. "Hahaha", in response to Damon''s question, Jasonughed and said in a low voice, "Come on out Vividus". As soon as he said that, a green coloured orb came out from his spirit consciousness. Aftering out of his spirit consciousness, it took a humanoid shape and stood in front of him. "Vividus is at your service, Summoning master", the green elemental spirt which is transparent looked like a schr with a grimoire in his hand. "Woah, senior brother Jason, it looks like a mage, what are its Skills?", Damon excitedly asked Jason as this was his first time seeing an Elemental spirit. (Alright, it''s not the first time, its the second time, but he didn''t remember much of the events of what happened that day). "At present, it only has one skill, Impart", Jason exined slowly, "Impart can help me share the knowledge of what I experienced to others that includes my understanding of the cultivation and skills". "What? isn''t it a loss for you", Damon asked in hurriedly. "Not at all, it can be applicable vice-versa", Jason replied calmly understanding the thoughts in Damon''s head. "Means?" Damon didn''t understand and asked again Jason shook his head and helped him exin, "I can not only share my knowledge with others but can take their knowledge if others permit me". "No will give their knowledge to you, right?", Damon asked, thinking about it. "It''s like, suppose if one person cultivated for 10 years and if he shares that 10 years experience with me, then I will get 2 years of that experience. And, he can still have the 10 years experience with himself even after sharing with me",?Jason exined him with an example making Damon''s doubts clear. Sharing knowledge doesn''t reduce the experience of others; instead, it will help the person who shared the knowledge to understand even more after sharing. "Okay then, let meet Hector", Jason suggested going out to meet Hector. ...¡­. In the Five Elemental World, Ajax opened his eyes when he felt sudden fluctuations in his surroundings. After he opened his eyes, he felt there was nothing to worry, as the fluctuations areing from the breakthrough of Necros who recently changed to a dark elemental spirit. Since they were in a life elemental essence of nature, the two elements collided resulting in energy fluctuations. Necros who consumed many rank 2 pearl-eyed ck foxes and 8 rank 3 ghost-eyed ck foxes and absorbed all their dark elemental essence of nature using his level 1 Devour skill, he finally converted all that essence in his own. He achieved a breakthrough from level 1 Elemental spirit Commander to level 4 Elemental spiritmander directly, shocking Ajax greatly. With Necros''s breakthrough, Ajax''s expectations in the evolution of the Destructive twilight Dragon which consumed two rank 3 ghost-eyed ck foxes and many rank 2 pearl-eyed ck foxes. Since it is only a low-level rank 2 spirit beast, he expected it to break through to rank 3 spirit beast. Necros was not the only one who broke through, Spirus also broke through multiple levels from the past 6 hours and reached level 5 of the elite Elemental spirit soldier, and she was on the verge of breaking through to the level 6. Snow, the Lightning Dragon Hawk which consumed some thunder pool''s water waspletely healed, and it reached the peak of the mid-stage rank 3 and can break through to thete-stage of rank 3 anytime. The mutated ck fox also looked less tired, and all its injuries were healed. After looking at all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts, he felt satisfied. Among his elemental spirits, only it, the chubby earth elemental spirit has the low strength of the peak elemental spirit soldier realm, so he decided to elevate is strength before exploring the Five elemental world. "System, show the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness", Ajax asked the system in his mind. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 108: New Skill:- Earth Shield Chapter 108 New Skill:- Earth Shield "System, show the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness", Ajax asked the system in his mind. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 5300 units/ 6200 units of the essence of nature. (System Note:- The host can store only 6000 units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness until he forms an official contract with an elemental spirit) After breaking through to level 2 of the Commander realm, his Spirit consciousness capacity has been increased by 200 units. Still, there was a system note below the spirit consciousness exining him the extra 200 units capacity can only be used after he forms an official contract with an elemental spirit. Also, his spirit consciousness didn''t increase by the mysterious spirit cultivation technique as he was still not formed a contract with an official elemental spirit. Ajax didn''t bother about it much as he has confidence in himself that he can easily form a contract with an elemental spirit. "Anyway, my 15th birthday is only a few days away. But I wonder what type of location I will be sent to, in my dream", Ajax wondered about this matter quite often. As every single cultivator has a type of essence of nature they have an affinity, they will be sent to the habitat of that particr element, so that they can form a contract with that specific elemental spirit. So Ajax wondered what type of elemental location he will be sent to, in his dream when he was 15 years old, as he had an affinity with all the elements. "System, do you know which type of location I will be sent in my dream?", Ajax asked his almighty system, hoping to find an answer to his query. ''Ding, The host didn''t have ess to that kind of information yet. "What do you mean ''didn''t have ess'' ", he puzzled with another question from the system itself now. ''Ding, First, form a contract with an official spirit, then you will understand how the process of an official contract is done. Ajax nodded his head, leaving that matter and concentrated on the upgrading it to the elite Elemental spirit soldier. "System, how many units of the essence of nature is required to upgrade it to the level of elite elemental spirit soldier realm", Ajax inquired the system. ''Ding, 2000 units of the essence of nature are required. "Upgrade it then?", as soon as the system notification came, he ordered the system to upgrade it to the elite elemental spirit soldier. ''Ding, 2000 units of the essence of nature are consumed. ''Ding, it has reached Level 1 of the Elite Elemental Spirit soldier realm sessfully. Check his information in the user interface. Soon, Ajax checked the unofficial elemental spirits section under the user interface to check the new skill of the it. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- it Element:- Earth-type Cultivation:- Elite Elemental spirit soldier (Level 1) Need 2100 units of the essence of nature to reach level 2 of the Elemental spirit soldier realm. Skills:- 1) Sand Dunes (Level 2) Skill Exnation:- A 100 meters area on thend can be turned into Sand dunes which absorbs multiple targets into it. 2)Earth Shield (level 1) Skill Exnation:- A giant earth shield is formed after casting the skill. As long as the elemental spirit is connected to the Earth, the shield can''t be destroyed. (System note:- If the attacker has the strength higher than the elemental spirit by two major realms, then the shield can be damaged easily). Its fundamental skill, Sand dunes upgraded to level 2 automatically, and its range is increased from 10 meters to 100 meters. Ajax nodded his head as he knows how the Skill level up works and proceeded to look at the new level 1 skill. "A great defense skill, but it is still on the weaker side of all the elemental spirits I have now", Ajax still not satisfied with the strength of the it and upgraded it once again as he has the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. "System, upgrade it to level 2", He didn''t think twice about upgrading the it as he can''t summon all his elemental spirits in public. Also, he introduced it to everyone in his squad, so his only chance now is to improve the strength of the it as much as possible before the start of the champion''s contest. ''Ding, 2100 units of the essence of nature are consumed. ''Ding, it has reached Level 2 of the Elite Elemental Spirit soldier realm sessfully. After the two continuous upgrades, Ajax''s spirit consciousness instantly reduced from 5300 units to 1200 units of the essence of nature, making him smile bitterly. After everything is done, Ajax looked at the guarding Volcanis and the Undead Water Python and ordered everyone to follow him. "Let''s find a ce with 2 or more elemental essences of nature and cultivate for sometime before moving to the next elemental locations", Ajax slowly exined his n to his elemental spirits. For the past 6 hours, he waited for everyone to heal and stabilize their conditions, so that they can be in a better position to fight in case of any enemies they might encounter during their exploration. Except for the Destructive Twilight Dragon that was busy absorbing the energy from the consumed ck foxes, everyone was ready to go. So Ajax sent the Destructive Twilight Dragon into his inner world before he started exploring the five elemental world. Ajax looked at the essence gem he obtained from the ground below the corpse and checked it carefully. ''Ding, Item name:- Spirit Beast King''s Essence gem (Dark) Use:- An iplete set of inheritance of the Dark elemental spirit beast. Description:- can only be used by the contracted spirit beasts or the official elemental spirits that have the Dark element in them. (System note:- The other spirit beasts can also use it, but the chance of evolution is very less.) "What? Isn''t essence gems are used for breaking through, why is it now changed. Is it because of the King realm Spirit Beast?" Ajax shocked to see the usage of the essence gem of the Spirit beast king. "I think, I should wait until the Destructive twilight dragon wakes up from its slumber to use this essence gem", Ajax thought in his mind as he walked along the path. Since the dark elemental beings in his team are Necros and the twilight dragon, Necros was not suitable to use as he was not an official elemental spirit and the dragon was in its slumber absorbing the energy it consumed earlier. So he stored the Spirit beast king''s essence gem in the inventory and searched for a ce that was most beneficial for him to cultivate. ************ Chapter 109: Event:- Strongest Five

109 Event:- Strongest Five

After travelling for less than an hour, he finally found a ce with three elemental essences of nature, namely Fire, Life, and the Earth Elements, that are very rich in concentration. It''s like abination of three different areas that were separated by a barrier between them. But the barrier didn''t affect the movement of the spirit beasts or any other beings; instead, it only separated the essence of nature of different elements. By constantly pestering the system for the past one hour, he got some information from it, that exined the Five elemental world. Five elemental world, as its name suggests, is a world mainly formed by thebination of 5 elements, namely, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Life. That doesn''t mean, there are other elements of essences oof nature in the five elemental world, but in a lessposition whenpared to the other five elements. So when other than the main five elemental treasures appear, it will be the den of that type of elemental spirit beasts or other beings. Just like the Ghost-eyed mutated ck fox, found the essence gem of the Spirit beast king, which helped it be a mutated from a normal pearl-eyed ck fox and the leader of that small group of ck foxes. "Volcanis, Spirus, and it cultivate in your elemental regions" Without wasting any time he ordered Volcanis, Spirus, and it to cultivate in their respective elemental locations. Nodding their heads, Volcanis, and other two elemental spirits left to cultivate excitedly. After they left, he looked at the time required to dpose the massive corpse in the inner world. ''Ding, Need 3 hours and 35 minutes more to integrate the corpses into the inner worldpletely. "Snow, guard me along with the undead water python, while I cultivate for some time", Ajax ordered the Lightning Dragon Hawk to guard him. As Necros, he still has some remaining energy left from the corpse he devoured and continued his cultivation. Soon, he entered into deep cultivation absorbing the Life elemental essence of nature from the surroundings. ...¡­.. In the Hazefrove Mercenary Squad Building, "Old Edmond, today Mercenary Guild has released an announcement which may be a piece of good news for our squad''s young ones", Udo reported to Edmond about some announcement without any happiness in his face. The duty of Udo is mainly about collecting all the information from the leading organizations to small families, and it is to be reported to the Captain of the Squad. But he didn''t feel any happiness when he reported this good news which made Captain Edmond understand something. "What is it? Is it about Champion''s contest?" Edmond asked, guessing the news. "Yes, Today mercenary guild announced that it has 5 invitations to the Champion''s contest. So it is conducting an event called ''Strongest Five'' which mostly includes fighting one another, and the top five can get one invitation per each contestant," Udo Keenaxe paused for a moment before continuing, "The event will be held in one month from today", Udo exined about the event called ''Strongest Five'' slowly and finished with the time when that event will be held. "Don''t be sad, nothing will happen to Jeff. Let him fight to his heart''s content", Edmond politely consoled Udo. Edmond knows that Udo Keenaxe hates the royal family to the core as they destroyed his family as a sacrificial chess piece in their hands. Now Udo doesn''t want his son, who is the only family he has now, to go to the royal capital to participate in the Champion''s contest. But Udo knew he couldn''t stop his son to join in the ''Stongest Five'' and he has the confidence that his son will be definitely in the top 5. "No one will recognize your son as long as your son say his full name to others in the royal capital", Edmond paused for a moment before continuing, "I think, it''s finally time to exin your son about his family background". "Sigh...", Udo didn''t say anything and just looked at his son who was practicing with Lewis in the open space behind the building, through the window and sighed. "Ajax and Paulin can''t participate in the Mercenary guild contest as they already have the invitation sent by the royal family", After sighing, Udo said one of the conditions of the ''strongest five'' event. "No problem, we will send both of them one some missions after their weekly spar", Edmond already thought about the entire nning for their training before the start of the Champion''s contest. "Okay then, I will take my leave and cultivate", Udo turned to leave Edmond''s room to cultivate. "Don''t forget to think about what I said to you, ''A family''s child should know about his family, even if it is good or bad''", Edmond said to the leaving Udo. Edmond''s words made Udo stop for a second before leaving the room. Seeing this, Edmond shook his head and looked at the young men who were Practicing. ...¡­.. In the Five elemental world, The life elemental essence of nature is gushing into Ajax''s box at a visible speed. Somewhere away from the Ajax, a transparent red coloured being who was submerged in theva river shined brightly every now and then. At another location, a green transparent being, who looked like an angel sat under a huge tree was also experiencing the same process of shinning brightly every now and then but at a faster face than the red-coloured being. There was another being some distance away from the green-coloured being, which was submerged in the mud with his eyes closed and shined brightly almost at the same pace of the green-coloured being. They are Volcanis, Spirus, and it, who are cultivating in their respective elemental locations and the shining brightly means they are breaking through the minor realms in their particr major realm. Volcanis, who has the slowest levelling speed due to his high cultivation of the elemental spiritmander, Spirus and it are the ones with the fastest levelling speed due to their low cultivations of only the elite Elemental spirit soldier realm.

110 Spirit Beast King''s Spirit Consciousness

''Ding, The corpse of the Anteater Kinkajou has been wholly integrated into the inner world. ''Ding, A piece ofnd in the Inner world has turned in to a dark elemental cultivator''s paradise. With the system notification sounds in his head, Ajax woke up from his cultivation and checked his inner world. The inner world looked just like before, but a corner of the inner world is surrounded by an extremely rich dark element of the essence of nature, and it''s just like a paradise for the dark element beings. As he was checking the inner world, he got another system notification in his head. ''Ding, A new mission is generated, Please check the quest tab. He quickly checked the quest tab which was already filled with three missions, and now a new mission added to the list making it four tasks. He didn''t check the first three missions as he already knew about them and directly viewed the fourth mission, which is thetest mission he got. ''Ding, Mission 4:-Collect the nts Progress:- (0/10) Description:- The five elemental world is not only known for the vibrant essence of nature, but also its varieties of nts and herbs. Since you are here, in the five elemental world, why not collect some nts to your inner world. Danger rating:- B Reward:-?A rank 2 pill recipe along with three sets of ingredients. "Seriously, are you trying to push me into the path of alchemy?", Ajax joked with the system. Even if the system not issued this mission, he would have undoubtedly searched for some nts to store in his inner world to increase his free essence of nature. "A free rank 2 pill recipe, is not bad", He said to himself and continued, "Since the system is giving it, there must be something special to it, right?". He hoped that the rank 2 pill recipe should be something special and useful for him. After his future expectations, Ajax looked at his faraway elemental spirits. They were cultivating in the different locations, and Spirus was the only one that is near to him, so he checked on her cultivation to see how many levels, she has improved in the elite Elemental spirit soldier realm. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Spirus Element:- Life type Cultivation level:-?Level 8 elite elemental spirit soldier Skills:- Drain and absorb, Bless "Not bad, Not bad", Ajax nodded his head seeing the improvement in the cultivation of Spirus which increased from peak level 5 elite spirit soldier to level 8 elite spirit soldier in just 3-4 hours. Next, he checked Necros''s cultivation, which improved by only a tiny bit and reached the peak of the level 4 Elemental spiritmander. As volcanis and it are far away from him, he was unable to check their improvement in cultivation but didn''t bother to disturb them and allowed them to cultivate. As he stood up and stretched his body, his gaze fell on the ghost-eyed mutated ck fox. "Since the corpse ispletely integrated into the inner world, I think, I can form a contract with it, right?", Ajax mused himself. "Ghost,e here", He called the mutated ck fox with its new name ''Ghost''. Ajax started calling it Ghost because of its ghost-eyes which will make one scared if they saw it in the dark. Slowly he ced his hand on its ck head and entered into its spirit consciousness with his spirit sense. Spirit sense is a type of skill that allows one to sense their surroundings or other spirit consciousness; even their eyes closed. He got that skill when he broke through to the Commander realm in the Spirit cultivation. Still, due to him, not having any official contracted elemental spirit, he can only use it only in a very close range, or he should be in contact with others to enter his spirit consciousness into others spirit consciousness. When he contracted with the Snow, the lightning dragon hawk, he used the same method. After entering into its spirit consciousness, Ajax got shocked by the amount of the dark essence of nature in it. "With this much amount of spirit consciousness, it''s no wonder it continued to stand up no matter how hard we hit it earlier", Ajax thought back to the fight earlier in which the mutated fox stood up no matter how many times they knocked it. Just as he was thinking about the earlier fight, he felt like he was drowning in some kind of water which made him anxious. "What is happening? Why am I feeling drowned", he slowly felt dizzy and was about to lose his consciousness. "Wake up, Don''t lose confidence", a familiar voice heard in his head making him woke up from his dizziness. "You can do it, Ajax", he motivated himself after hearing the words of the old voice in his head. Without wasting any time, he found a ce in the mutated ck fox''s spirit consciousness and imnt his spirit mark and hastily escaped from the spirit consciousness. "Phew..", only after getting out of the mutated ck fox''s spirit consciousness, he felt relieved and rxed. "What''s that? It''s like there is another consciousness in there which tried to devour me", Ajax felt there is another being''s consciousness in the spirit consciousness of the mutated ck fox. After gasping for air for some time, he looked at the mutated ck fox which looked at him innocently with its puppy eyes. "System, do you know what is that I felt earlier?" Ajax asked the system because he thought the thing in its spirit consciousness tried to do more than devouring him. ''Ding, A Spirit beast king''s consciousness isying dormant in the spirit consciousness of the mutated ck fox when the host tried to form a contract with it, the spirit beast king''s consciousness woke up from its slumber and tried to make the host into its ve. "What? A spirit beast king''s spirit consciousness? Tried to make me into its ve?" Ajax shocked to hear something unexpected from the system which made him shuddered and his back drenched in a cold sweat. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy!

"What? A spirit beast king''s spirit consciousness? Tried to make me into its ve?" Ajax shocked to hear something unexpected from the System which made him shuddered. As he was shocked, the mutated ck fox on the ground made pained noises before falling unconsciously with a ''Thud''. "Ghost, what happened?" Ajax hurriedly squatted beside it worriedly. The unconscious ck fox''s breathing slowly became rough as though it was gasping for air and started twitching its entire body, making Ajax even more worried. "System, what happened to it? please help", Ajax quickly requested the System to do something about the twitching ck fox on the ground. ''Ding, It is due to the host waking up the dormant spirit beast king''s consciousness in the mutated ck fox''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The awakened Spirit beast king''s consciousness is trying to take over the body of the mutated ck fox. ''Ding, Now the ck fox is fighting with the spirit beast king''s consciousness for its own body. "What? It''s fighting for its own body? all because of me trying to form a contract with it" when he heard that the ck fox is fighting for its own body because of him, he med himself and asked the System about anything he can do for it to win the fight with the spirit beast king. ''Ding, Although the Spirit beast king is in a very weakened stated, he is much stronger than the current mutated ck fox. ''Ding, Use can help it by increasing its bloodline with the mid-grade Primitiv stone in your inventory. Ajax''s eyes lit up when he heard the System''s words. Without any hesitation, he quickly took out the mid-grade primitive stone he got from the previous mission and ordered the System, "System, use this mid-grade primitive stone and upgrade its bloodline, quickly". Actually, he saved the mid-grade primitive stone for the Destructive twilight dragon. Still, when he saw that the mutated ck fox is fighting the spirit beast king''s consciousness for its own body due to his mistake, he didn''t show any hesitation in using the primitive stone. Soon, the primitive stone in the hands of Ajax flew into the mutated ck fox''s mouth. Just after the stone entered into its body, the outer shape of the mutated ck fox glowed with a dark halo. Along with the dark halo, its body started growing slowly, and the painful noises made by it became even louder, making Ajax anxious. "System, what is happening to it? Didn''t you say that it will help Ghost to fight the spirit beast king''s consciousness?" Ajax implored the System. ''Ding, The host doesn''t need to feel anxious. No gain without pain ''Ding, It has to go through the pain to gain the strength Even though he heard the System''s words, he couldn''t help but worry about the safety of the ck fox. He sent his essence of nature after converting his universal essence of nature into the dark elemental essence of nature. As he continued to send the dark elemental essence of nature into it, the pained noises from it became less and less, making Ajax''s worried heart a little rxed. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast, the mutated Ghost-eyed ck fox''s bloodline purity increased and became a Great Anteater Kinkajou bloodline. ''Ding, The mutated ck fox sessfully advanced to rank 4 and evolved into a triple Ghost-eyed ck fox. ''Ding, The ck fox sessfully defeated the spirit beast king''s consciousness and stored it in its spirit consciousness, and the ck fox can fully use it for its future cultivation. ''Ding, The loyalty of the ck fox increased to close friend. After what it felt a millennium, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the continuous system notifications which chimed non-stop in his head. He slowly caressed the smooth ck fur of the ck fox which is still unconscious, but he knew that the ck fox is out of danger and sent it into the inner world''s new location, ''The Dark Paradise''. Ajax named the newly turned area in the inner world as ''The Dark Paradise'' and will allow let his dark spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to cultivate in it. "Finally, Ghost''s life is safe and it managed to turn the disaster into a blessing", Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after he sent the Ghost into the Inner World. He sat on the ground and looked at his information in the user interface. In the user interface, he found something that he didn''t know where it came from under section called ''Speciality'' and asked the System about it. ''Ding, When the host tried to form a contract with the mutated ck fox, the host''s spirit consciousness mutated a little and gained a speciality. ''Ding, Speciality:- Dark Elementalist (Passive) Use:- Increases the cultivation speed of the dark type beings by 50 percent when they were in the 10-meter radius around the host. Description:- From now on, when the host encounters any dark type beings (spirit beasts or elemental spirits), he will be shown less hatred and sometimes even attracted to the host. "What? I can get something like this just by sessfully escaping from the spirit beast king''s consciousness", Ajax baffled at the speciality called ''Dark Elementalist''. "But it is a good specialty though. Just makes my time easier when I will contract with the Dark-type beings in the future", Even though Ajax really doesn''t how he got the speciality and what it has to do with the Spirit beast king''s consciousness, he really liked it very much and felt useful in the future. "Huh?" Ajax''s gazended on the skills section, which made him puzzled. The reason was another thing that is unfamiliar to him in his skills section. ''Ding, Skills:- Spatial des, Spiritual sense, Absolute Darkness "Where did ite from?" Ajax thought for a while and checked the inbox of the System for any unread messages. Soon, in front of him, the unread messages disyed with a ''ding'' sound. ''Ding, ..?.. . . . . ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy!

''Ding, Mission 1 of the series questpleted. ''Ding, Reward:- A random dark type of skill is added to the host''s skill list. ''Ding, ''Absolute Darkness'', a dark type of skill is added. Please check the user interface for more information about the skill. "Ohh, I totally forgot about the reward of the mission 1 of the series quest as I was busy fighting the ck foxes continuously", Ajax quickly remembered from where he got the skill. As he was busy fighting the pearl-eyed ck foxes, ghost-eyed ck foxes then and finally the mutated ghost-eyed ck fox. So he totally forgot about the reward. He didn''t bother much about it since the reward is automatically credited into his skill list and just focused on the skill ''Absolute Darkness''. ''Ding, Skill:- Absolute Darkness Description:- The user can create a field of absolute imprable darkness thatpletely negates sight and may also dull or evenpletely negate the other senses of the opponents for some time depending on the strength of the opponent. (System note:- Effectiveness increases with the strength of the host) "The name ''Absolute Darkness'' really suits the skill''s description", Ajax really liked the new ability that looked very dominating. He looked around to see for any targets to test the effectiveness of the skill but didn''t manage to find any other spirit beasts except for Snow, who was sleeping on the ground peacefully. "Snow,e here", He called the lightning dragon hawk. It slowly woke up and started walking towards Ajax. ''Absolute Darkness'', Ajax slowly muttered in his mind as he set the Snow as his target to test the ''Absolute Darkness'' effectiveness. Poor Snow, which didn''t expect his master to cast a skill on it, closely watched him before stopping in front of him. Soon the lightning dragon hawk was masked by a dark matter which covered its entire body. Even Ajax was unable to see, what''s happening inside the ck sphere which covered the Hawk. But through his spirit contract with the Snow, he was able to feel how terrified the Hawk inside the Domain of Absolute darkness and quickly cancelled the skill on the Snow. As soon as he cancelled the skill, he was hit by the Lightning Dragon Hawk which rushed out of the slowly disappearing domain of the Absolute Darkness with lightning speed. Both Ajax and the Snow, (From now on I will use Snow instead of using Lightning Dragon Hawk every time) both fell on the ground. "Hey, Snow, why did you¡­", Seeing the trembling Snow in front of him, he didn''tplete his sentence and hugged gently "I am sorry Snow, I will not repeat this type of test to you or for any other friends from now on", Ajax tried tofort the Snow, caressing the smooth white features. Only afterforting for a while, did the trembling Snow calmed down and pecked Ajax for using it as his practice dummy. "Sorry, sorry. Stop pecking me", Ajax allowed it to peck him for it to calm its anger (which didn''t hurt Ajax though). "This skill is very powerful, even Snow, with peak mid-level rank 3 strength along with the Lightning dragon bloodline trembled in front of this Absolute Darkness", After their small y, Ajax thought to himself at the power of the ''Absolute Darkness''. After that, he gave some thunder pool''s water to Snow to appease its anger which was still somewhat angry with him. That made the angry Snow better and forgiven him for using the skill on it without permission. "Now, it''s time to explore the Five elemental world and collect some nts for the mission and for the Inner World", He soon moved onto his next n. "I think, it''s best for Volcanis, Spirus, and it to cultivate here", He didn''t want to bother his seriously cultivating contracted elemental spirits toe with him on the ''Collect the nts'' mission. And he checked his other teammates who were not cultivating like Necros, Undead Water Python and recently calmed down Snow. "Necros, guard Volcanis and others along with the undead water python in my absence, Okay?", Ajax ordered Necros to protect other elemental spirits before going on the ''collect the nts'' mission. "Don''t worry, summoning master. I will not disappoint you", Necros squatted down and respectfully said in a Knight''s salute. Nodding his head, Ajax took Snow with him on his nts collecting mission. Ajax has full confidence in Necros''s strength, who recently achieved the strength of the peak level 4 elemental spiritmander along with his two summoners who have the same power (only strength but no skills) as him. And, not to forget about the power of the Undead water python which has a peak rank 3 strength and a speed that isparable to many low-level rank 4 spirit beasts. "Come on Snow, we will start our nt search from that mountain", Ajax mounted on the Snow and pointed his finger towards a substantial green mountain in the distance indicating it to fly towards the mountain. Understanding the meaning of his words, Snow took flight into the air, and with its passive lightning speed skill, they flew in the direction of the mountain. Within only 20 minutes they reached the foot of the mountain, and Ajax asked it to stop there. "We will walk from here on, doesn''t want to miss any nt", Ajax patted the Snow as he exined it. From afar, the mountain looked small, but when he saw it from the foot, it was very huge than he thought and the mountain is not narrow instead it looked like a triangle that can be easily climbed by anyone. The entire mountain is covered by many nts and trees with all kinds of varieties like small, medium, and huge. But it not only covered by the trees but various spirit beasts which are making loud roars and other noises making Ajax think for a moment to enter the mountain or not? "For strength, I need to take risks. Otherwise, I always remain as a coward in my entire life", Ajax motivated himself to enter the forest. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

113 Octopus-like Spirit Beas

The forest on the colossal mountain was gigantic, thick, and flourishing with the life elemental essence of nature. The canopy was reigned by redwood, hawthorn, and walnut, their leaves, and branches allowed for just enough light to pass down for a motley of sprouts to sprout in the thickyer of leaves below. Swooping climbing nts clung to a couple of trees, and a medley of small nts which have some berries and blossoming flowers that added some bright touches to the otherwise colourless lower level. Ajax slowly walked onto the mountain that was covered by the forest which had enough light barely to see the path ahead. Some spirit beasts roars could be heard by him from afar, which made him stay even more cautious and alert. Soon, he found some small bushes that were only half a meter in height. It had narrow, pointed leaves, which were, usually forest green along with many tiny ck coloured berries. Without wasting any time, he went near to the bushes to examine them with the system ''Ding, nt (shrub) name:- Ind inkberry bush Use:- 1) Berries, can be eaten 2)?Its pointed leaves can be used in making pills Description:- These nts grow alone, but within a decent distance from each other, but it''s tricky to control and maintain their growth. Seeing the information from the system and picked some ck coloured berries to eat. "So sweet", Ajax ate some more berries with Snow, as the berries tasted very sweet than any other berries he tasted before. After eating his fill, Ajax nted the 12 bushes into the inner world and assumed hepleted the mission. ''Ding, Ind inkberry bushes are sessfully transnted into the inner world. ''Ding, 2 units of the essence of nature per day will be generated from the 12 inkberry bushes to the host''s spirit consciousness. "What only 2 units of the essence of nature for all the 12 bushes? Are you fu*king kidding me?" Ajax shouted at the system after seeing the generated essence of nature from the bushes. ''Ding, The ind inkberry bush is a very low-level type nt, so it only gives 1 unit for six bushes. Even though Ajax shouted at the system, it projected the reason on to the holographic screen. "Okay then, Where is my reward for the mission ''Collect the nts''?", Ajax asked the system after calming his agitation. ''Ding, Mission 4:-Collect the nts Progress:- (01/10) ''Ding, The host needs 9 more nts to finish the mission. "Okay", Ajax agreed with the system as he thought, "the danger rating for this mission was shown ''B'', and it will not be that simple, right?". Without wasting any time, he moved deeper into the forest to find some high-level nts to increase the generated essence of nature from the inner world. After one day, "It''s been one day since we entered the mountain and we only managed to find three nts which give almost no essence of nature. Sigh", Ajax sighed as he spoke to Snow which was hopping behind him with its two bird legs. After Ind inkberry, they found two more small nts which are Flobrover and Iovaho. Bothbined only gave him 1 unit of the essence of nature. With the help of the system, he managed to find that they could be used in Alchemy for making some pills but doesn''t know what type of pellets could be made from them. Nevertheless, he stored both of them in the inner world. Along the way, they met some rank 2 and even rank 3 spirit beasts which were taken care of by the Snow with its lightning speed and lightning w. "Snow there is a small nt on the top of the small mountain, let''s fly and collect it", as he was about to lose interest in the ''collect the nts'' mission, he found a small nt with arge fruit hanging on it, that really doesn''t match with the nt on a narrow path of the mountain which was nearly impossible to walk. The vast mountain had not only forests but also had many small mountains (Like up and down) on it. At present Ajax was at one of the smaller mountains where he found a small nt on the top of the mountain. Hearing the Ajax''s order, Snow took flight quickly after Ajax mounted on it, towards the small nt he pointed earlier. Just as they were about to reach the nt, the ground beneath them moved, and a huge octopus-like spirit beast came out of the earth and waved its tentacles at Snow like whips in order to kill the Snow. Snow, with its passive Lightning speed, easily dodged the iing tentacles and flew even higher ignoring the nt for a moment. "Snow, dodge again", the missed tentacles attacked again. "Snow, fly higher", Ajax ordered after dodging the tentacle for a second time. Just as they thought they were in a safe distance, the octopus-like spirit beast used another attack which was least expected by anyone. It shot at them with mud bullets like a fire cannon without giving them time to breathe. ''Pjack pjack'', even though they dodged most of the mud bullets, they were hit by one or two every now and then. "You", Ajax angered when his handsome face and the beautiful snow-white feathers of the Snow turned into light brown colour. "Take this", He used the spatial des of 2000 units of the essence of nature and attacked its mouth from where the mud bullets areing from. ''Tick tick tick'', the spatial des shed with the mouth and deflected without a small scratch on the area where he attacked. "Snow, let''s go away from here, we are not a match for it", Seeing that his most potent attack didn''t even manage to leave a scratch behind making him lose all his hope. Previously when he met the strongest spirit beasts, his spatial des (of less than 2000 units of the essence of nature) managed to cut or even leave behind some scratches on them. However, now, there was not even a scratch on it, making him hopeless, and he just wanted to leave from here when he had the chance. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

114 Mission Completed

Ajax does not want to fight a hopeless battle with a high-level spirit beast, so without any hesitation, he fled away from the location. "That thing looked like octopus must be a peak rank 4 spirit beast even stronger than the Snow Lion King", Ajax was unable to forget the attacking speed of the Spirt beast andpared with the Snow Lion King, he met in the Cursed Abyss. Due to the long-range from the spirit beast, he was unable to use the system to check its information, so he still didn''t know what that spirit beast''s name and what level of strength it had. But one thing was sure; it was much stronger than the Snow Lion King he met in the cursed abyss. After escaping from that spirit beast, he resumed his search for the nts to finish the mission soon and go back to his cultivation. The reason, Ajax was trying toplete this mission was that he hoped, he would get some ''A'' danger rating missions in the future if hepleted these kinds of small missions. "Once I get some ''A'' danger rating mission, I will be able to upgrade my strength easily along with that mission rewards", Ajax muttered as he slowly searched for the nts that can give him some essence of nature from the inner world. Low or High, doesn''t matter to him anymore, as long as he can get some free essence of nature, he will store the nts into his inner world. "Finally collected thest nt for the mission", due to his luck or whatever kind of reason, within thatst 12 hours he managed to find seven more nts which gave him 1 or 2 units of the essence of nature per nt from the inner world. Nevertheless, whenbined with the previous nts and his original 40 units, he was getting more than 50 units per day. The seventest nts he collected are namely, Barbed grass, Smelly bush, Cihorn, Diflover, etc. which mainly used in the process of making some pills. ''Ding, Mission 4:-Collect the nts, Completed. Progress:- (10/10) Completion rating:- ''B'' ''Ding, Reward:-?A rank 2 pill recipe along with three sets of ingredients stored in the host''s inventory. As soon as he stored thest nt in his inner world, he got the notification from the system informing about thepletion of the mission. Ajax did not care about thepletion rate as he will not get any additional rewards for this type of mission anyway even if hepletes this mission with apletion ration of ''S''. He quickly took out the rank 2 pill recipe from the inventory. Like Spirit beasts, Pills are also ssified into various ranks starting from rank 1,2,3,4¡­ But due to the insufficient essence of nature in the Zrochester Province which was monopolized by the Draton Kingdom, only a few cultivators can be the Alchemists, and most of them will be in the top three sects, five leading families and the Royal family (Draton family). Furthermore, due to the sameck of essence of nature, the herbs or nts of rank 5 or higher than rank 5 are scarce. If one appeared it would be most likely end up into the hands of the upper echelon of the province. So most of the alchemists are struck at peak rank 4 and waiting for rank 5 nts or herbs to break through to the rank 5 Alchemist level. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient essence gathering pill recipe Items required:- Longevity fruit, Barbed grass, Abyss cap, Serpent ambrosia. Process:- vlnsfn dnso dsni fjr effe dnd dnxc niwdo Special pill effect:- There is an 80 percent chance of gaining a one-month life span when the pill made by this process is consumed. (Due to longevity fruit) Description:- It is a long lost pill recipe, which helps in refining a rank 2 essence gathering pills that can increase the cultivation speed of the consumer by 3 times. And can be consumed by anyone who knows how to cultivate. "Only essence gathering pills? Wait, is it for real?" Seeing the name of the recipe, he thought this was some regr essence gathering pill that can be found in the market, but when he saw the description, he was bbergasted and rubbed his eyes before reading the description once again. The reason for his shock was that the essence gathering pills that are avable in the market can increase the cultivation speed by only 1.5 times, but this pill increases the cultivation speed by 3 times. "Only four items? In which I already have two items and need two more to start refining the pills", Seeing the items required, Ajax was somewhat happy as he already has the most difficult ones in his possession and the other two can be obtained easily ording to the knowledge, he received from the Basic Alchemy Book. "But what is thatnguage?", Ajax did not understand the process that is projected on to the holographic screen, causing his mind puzzle with the strange words. ''Ding, Do you want to learn the process of making the ancient essence gathering pill? "Yes, I want to learn", after seeing the description like that, who does not want to learn the process of making some great pills to increase their cultivation speed. Seeing thest system notification, Ajax did not worry about thenguage which he was unable to understand and agreed to the system in learning the process directly. As soon as he agreed, he felt some mysterious foreign information entering into his mind slowly. The process onlysted for 5-10 seconds before stopping. During the entire process, he did not felt any pain as he was already used to small pains, and it required more than that to cause him pain. "Huh? So, it is just looks like the process of how I refined level breaking pills", after assimting the new information, Ajax felt the entire process looked almost the same as the process of refining level breaking pills. Still, there was a small difference between them. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please! Say no to piracy! Original /book/16860537406663605 Chapter 115: Shixato Wilds

"For refining the level-breaking pills, the purity of the medicinal essences should be more than 50 percent and for the essence gathering pills, the level of purification of each individual ingredient should be more than 80 percent to sessfully refine the pills and if he managed to sessfully purify the ingredient to 100 percent, there is 100 percent chance of achieving the special pill effect", Ajax pondered about the differences between the two pill refining processes. "Since I havepleted all the missions I can possiblyplete now, It''s time to cultivate the essence of nature", Now, he can not cultivate to increase his strength but to umte the number of units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. "Snow, it is time to go back and join with the others to cultivate", Ajax mounted the Lightning dragon hawk and flew towards their previous location. "Snow, let''s stop here and clean ourselves", he motioned Snow to fly towards a small stream of water in the distance. After receiving the mud bullets from the octopus-like spirit beast, even though they didn''t injure much, they pretty much became muddy, and dust was all over their clothes. Even though the stream looked peaceful, they did not directly rush into the water; instead, they slowly examined their surroundings first, and only after confirming that there was no danger, they cleaned themselves. It was because of the earlier incident at the small mountain which looked quite peaceful, but the octopus-like spirit beast suddenly attacked them out of nowhere. So Ajax wanted to feel safer first than feeling sorryter. After cleaning himself, he changed into a new set of clothes that were prepared before he was entering into the five elemental world. Just as he was preparing to leave the area, he heard some noises from a distance and spotted two weird looking beings walking towards him. They looked like a humanoid bird type beings with two enormous wings and two small, wed legs, with arge, robust body. They have two eyes which sit concealed in their sockets and which made him think that they have impressive eyesight. Their thin, sharp beaks made these alien beings appear to be arrogant, so he does not want to be seen by them. But before he could hide from them, he was spotted by them. "Who are you?", the bird-like being on the left asked in a human speech making Ajax confuse as he assumed, they did not know the humannguage. However, to his surprise, they spoke very fluently as they asked him. ''Ding, Race:- Bird (Hawk) Strength:- Level 1 General realm Ajax silent checked their cultivations and found out the cultivations of the two Bird race men in front of him. "I am Ajax", Ajax introduced himself politely, seeing their strength. Instead of replying to him, they walked towards the Snow and bowed while praising, "Oh heavens, you finally blessed us, the Hawk n". Ajax was shocked to see the sudden turn of events in front of him. ''What is happening? Why are they bowing to Snow?'', Ajax silently thought to himself in his head before looking at the Snow, which looked just as confused as he was. "We are waiting for you for a few years now, childe Lightning Dragon Hawk", they politely stood up, and one of them spoke slowly with tears in his eyes. "Yes, Childe Lightning Dragon Hawk, not only us, but the entire Hawk n is waiting for you to appear", just like the previous one, the second bird man also spoke politely with tears in his eyes. "Excuse me, sirs. What are you saying?", seeing all their action, Ajax slowly intervened and asked them politely not wanting to anger the two general realm cultivators. Seeing Ajax, close with the Snow, they thought that he was someone important to the childe lightning dragon hawk and politely exined before looking nodding their heads at each other. "In the Five elemental world, there are many regions which are dominated by different races, and our bird race is dominating this region which is called Shixato Wilds. Moreover, the bird race has three types of tribes like the Lightning Hawk tribe, Fire Crow tribe, Ice Sparrow tribe. Every 10 years, the three tribes need to send the highest bloodline member from the tribe and let thempete for the resources and governance of the majority of the Shixato Wilds", the birdman stopped speaking and looked at the other birdman. "But ourst representative who has the high purity of the Lightning dragon hawk bloodline in him mysteriously died just after thest fight which was held 10 years back. And after that, from our Lightning tribe, no one managed to awaken that much high purified bloodline in them from our tribe causing all the tribe to feel anxious", The second birdman stopped after speaking until here. And it was continued by the first birdman who started exining first, "But there is a prophecy in one of our ancient grounds that there will be, always a high-level bloodline member will appear at thest moment of the 3-tribe fight to save the Hawk tribe from the other bird tribes". "Wait for a second, now you are saying that Snow is that member who will appear just before the fight?", Ajax felt it is too much of a coincidence. Because he was the one who got the reward to visit the Five elemental world form the system, which was also an unexpected reward form the system, all in all, he still felt it was unbelievable. "Yes, the childe Lightning dragon hawk is the one who will be representing the fight which is two days from now on, right? Great lightning dragon hawk", one of the birdman excitedly said. After he finished speaking, he looked at Snow for an answer, but Snow looked at Ajax as though it was asking ''what are you all discussing?''. "And how do you know that Snow has the highest level of the bloodline", Ajax asked puzzledly without bothering with the Snow. Since he was the one who used low-grade primitive stone to upgrade its bloodline, he knows it has the lightning dragon bloodline, but he puzzled at how these bird men knew about the bloodline in the Snow. ************ Support me at Patreon /vinayraj Please!

116 Dangerous Mission

Since he was the one who used low-grade primitive stone to upgrade its bloodline, he knows it has the lightning dragon bloodline, but he puzzled at how these bird men knew about the bloodline in the Snow. "There is a small concentration of Lightning Dragon bloodline in our bodies which made us walk here while sensing that bloodline", One of the birdmen exined seeing the doubt on Ajax''s face. "Whatever, but I want to make one thing clear, I don''t want Snow to take any unnecessary risk for others", although, Ajax was afraid of the two birdmen who possessed strength higher than him, he doesn''t want to put Snow in any danger. After he finished his words, Ajax stood in front of the Snow, not allowing their request. "What are you saying?", the birdman on the left frowned as he looked at the Ajax who stood in front of the Snow. "What I am saying is I will not allow Snow to participate in your tribe''s resource fight", Ajax stood on his words solidly without any fear in his eyes. "Who the hell, do you think you are to not allow our tribe''s hope to not participate in the resource fight?", both birdmen released their General realm strength and suppressed Ajax. The Pressure from the general realm is not Ajax can withstand, but even so, he tried to resist the pressure forcefully. However, his body soon started shaking with that much of the pressure. Seeing the shaking Ajax in front of it, Snow covered Ajax with its long wings to stop the pressure from the general realm birdmen. How can it stop the pressure for the general realm cultivator, when its strength is only at the peak mid-level rank 3. Soon, it was also unable to bear the pressure. Just, when it thought it would be unconscious, the pressure on it has vanished into thin air. "Why is our tribe''s Childe protecting him?" Both of them asked each other at the same time in unison. "I think, the human kid might have saved our tribe''s childe and became friends with him", this was the thought of one birdman, which was instantly agreed by the other birdman. "We should apologize for our earlier behaviour, otherwise, ''Childe'' may not participate in the contest and our tribe will be suppressed by the other two tribes for the next 10 years", They quickly apologized to Ajax and Snow for their rude behaviour. Ajax didn''t say anything, but he looked at them angrily, which made them even more worry. They worried because, if their tribe''s childe agrees with the human kid to not participate in the contest, then they will be the sinners of their tribe. "Please show some mercy and allow Childe light dragon hawk to participate in the contest", they quickly fell on their knees and apologized. Ajax''s anger calmed down a little, Seeing the kowtowing birdmen. Just when he was about to decline the participation of Snow in their so-called 3 tribe contest, he got a system notification. ''Ding, New mission generated, please check the quest tab for more details. ''Why is a mission generated now, don''t tell me this mission will be about Snow'', Ajax thought to himself in his mind. Because, whenever the system generated a new mission, it will be about something, that is rted to his current situation. Praying that it should not be rted to the 3 tribe mission in his heart, Ajax slowly opened the quest tab to check the new mission details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Help the Lightning dragon hawk tribe. Description 1):- Allow the host''s lightning dragon hawk to help the lightning dragon hawk tribe in getting the first position in the 3 tribe contest. 2):- The lightning dragon hawk tribe is in a desperate situation as this contest will decide their fates. Reward:- Upgrading the Inner world along with the chance of turning a piece ofnd into an elemental paradise. Note:- The host can choose any element he wants for Paradise. Danger rating:- A+ Mission failure:- Instant death of the host. "What the heck?" Ajax shouted when he saw the name of the mission but soon calmed down as he was seen as a maniac by the two birdmen. Soon, he turned his back to the birdmen and angrily cursed at the system, "I really don''t want to meddle with other people''s problem, you fu*king system". But when he read the two descriptions, he felt sad for the Hawk tribe as their lives are all depended on the contest. Furthermore, they have the same bloodline as the Lightning dragon hawk, which convinced him almost to ept the mission. "A+ danger rating", seeing the danger rating, Ajax quickly rejected the thought of epting the mission. But when he looked at the Mission failure, he again started cursing the system. "You cold-blooded system." "You have already decided for me to aplish the mission, isn''t that unfair?", Ajax got no reply from the system like always whenever he curses at it. "Sigh..., Okay Snow will participate in your so-called 3 tribe contest", Ajax agreed since there was no way for him to escape from the system''s punishment anyway. ''Although the rewards are great, the danger rating is so high that there is no way he can finish the mission that easily'', Ajax thought as hepared the rewards with the Danger rating. ''But to enjoy the rewards, I should be alive, right?'', AJax bitterly thought and sighed at the danger of the mission. ''Ding, The reward is in the risk, host. Please focus on the mission properly. A system notification came with a quote reminding the Ajax to focus on the mission. "Thank you, human." "Thank you, human", both the birdmen said one after another excitedly. "But there is one condition for my Snow to join your contest", seeing their excitement, Ajax slowly said to them. "As long as it is within our capability, we will do our best to satisfy any conditions", Both of them said in unison. "It is just a simple condition,....." Chapter 117: Three tribes

117 Three tribes

"It is just a simple condition, I want to know everything about the contest and also about the other two tribes", Ajax stressed the words ''want to know everything''. "Huh?", before looking at each other, they nodded their heads and said, "Of course we will give the detailed information about everything you want to know along the way to our tribe". Nodding his head, Ajax looked at the Snow and exined it about participating in the contest for the lightning dragon hawk tribe. Although it took some time to make it understand about ''Contest'' ''Tribes'', Snow nodded its head as though it was ready for anything. Soon, Ajax mounted Snow whereas the two birdmen flew with their long eagle wings. As one of the birdmen guided the way in the sky, the other one started his exnation with an introduction. "My name is Kraiww and he is my junior brother Krail" while pointing at the birdman who was in front of them, Kraiww introduced his brother Krail. Ajax nodded his head, remembering their weird names in his mind. "We are the descendants of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor, so we are called Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe or in short Hawk tribe. The other two tribes are the descendants of the Three-Legged Fire Sun Crow and Netherworld Ice Sparrow which are also called as Crow tribe and Sparrow tribe respectively", after introducing their names, Kraiww exined the three tribes origin. "Every ten years, we from the three tribes allow our tribe''s Childe topete with one another in a contest which we name it as Three tribe contest. The first ranked participant among them will get the 60 percent of the region in the Shixato Wilds, for their tribe to rule. The resources from that region solely belong to them for the next 10 years. Simrly, the second ranker among them can gain 30 percent area for their tribe, and thest tribe will get 10 percent region to live", Kraiww sighed lightly, when he exined about the rewards. "So, even if you don''t participate in the contest, you will get 10 percent of the Shixato Wilds to live, right? Then where is your problem?" Ajax raised his brow when he heard the reward ssification for the contest. In the mission description, he saw that the contest decides the fate of the Hawk tribe. But they are getting 10 percent of the Shixato Wilds which is enough for them to live peacefully, so he puzzled at the big words the system used in the mission description. "Actually, there are other rewards for first and second ces in the contest, they are the inheritances of our predecessors who reached the King realm", Kraiww paused for a moment before continuing, "There is only one ancient ground where all our bird race ancestors ced their inheritances and the first two among the three tribe''s childe can enter the ancient grounds and can receive a full inheritance for first ranker and a 50 percent inheritance for the second ranker. Once they get an inheritance, their strength will boost to the peak and slowly erase our tribe from the Shixato Wilds in the next 10 years", Kraiww said in a sad tone. "Then, how much of a chance is there for Snow to get a first or a second position?", Ajax now understood the meaning behind the mission description words and asked the probability of Snow getting the first or a second position. Looking at the Snow, Kraiww''s dejected expression became excited and said, "Although it has no chance on getting the first position, getting a second position is not a problem". Nodding his head at Kraiww, Ajax silently thought, "Then why is the mission has ''A+'' danger rating". When Kraiww exined it looked straightforward, but when he remembered the mission danger rating, he felt something amiss. "We don''t have any hope in defeating the Crow tribe''s childe as he has the strength of the level 1 elitemander realm strength, but defeating the Sparrow tribe''s childe is not a problem as it only has the strength of the peak rank 3 level and it is still unevolved just like our Childe", Kraiww exined in detail for the better understanding of the Ajax pointing at the Snow in the end. "I really want to ask you one thing, will there be any trouble for me or Snow?", Ajax asked Kraiw, but thinking he may not understand the exact meaning, he continued asking the same question, "Like, I am a human, and as for the Snow, it is a Spirit beast, so will there be any trouble?". "For Snow, there will be no problem as there are many lightning hawks in our tribe and furthermore, I and my brother are actually evolved from the Lightning dragon hawk after reaching the rank 5", Kraiww smilingly said to Ajax. "What?" Ajax was shocked by thetest revtion. "Yes, we evolved from the lighting dragon hawks but we only have 5 percent of the purity, whereas your Snow has more than 40 percent, which we regard it as a genius of one in a million", Looking at the Snow, Kraiww said to Ajax. Hearing the praise from Kraiww, Ajax lightly caressed the smooth feathers of the Snow. "As for you, We will discuss it with our tribe leader after we reach the Hawk tribe", hearing the Kraiww''s words, Ajax''s jaws dropped. "What do you mean by that?" Ajax asked with a serious expression. "Finally, we reached the tribe", ignoring Ajax''s words, Kraiww lightly eximed indicating Ajax that they finally reached the destination. Ajax looked at the mountain, which has only a few huge trees along with many lightning birds flying everywhere. Amidst the enormous trees, there are some houses made of unknown material, but they looked exquisite and made Ajax praise the one who made it. And he also found many birdman and birdwomen whose private parts were covered with some spirit beast skins. "Hey, look there is a human", "Wait, isn''t that elder Kraiw", "I heard that he went on a mission to find our Childe", "Look, the Lightning Hawk is not from here, right?" "It looks majestic, I think it is not Lightning Hawk, but Lightning Dragon Hawk which managed to awaken the pure bloodline", As they flew over the houses, many bird folks pointed their ws at him and talked about him and Snow. Chapter 118: Tribe leader Qwerek

118 Tribe leader Qwerek

"See there, that''s where our tribe leader lives. Once we meet him, he will rify your remaining doubts," Kraiww pointed at the top of the mountain where a house which was more significant than other homes. Not only size but it looked more grandiose than any other houses at the bottom. Just with a nce, anyone can say that the house belongs to someone who had great authority in the tribe. Within no time, theynded in the open area in front of the grandiose looking house. As though, he was expecting someone, a weak-looking older man came out of the house at the same time and looked at the Snow with tears in his eyes. Behind the older man, two enormous wings covered his entire body which made Ajax unable to see his body. "Judging from his looks he doesn''t look that powerful," Seeing the older man, Ajax thought to himself in his mind. Nevertheless, he used the system to check his cultivation level. ''Ding, Unable to check the strength of the cultivator with the host''s current strength. ''Ding, Please increase your strength to check the cultivation of the high-level cultivators. "What? This old man has the strength of that level?" Ajax was shocked at the system notifications which were unable to discern the cultivation level of the older man in front of him. Soon, he understood one thing: ''Don''t underestimate a weak-looking older man, you don''t know what he is capable of''. "I know, you feel that this is too much of a coincidence for your contracted spirit beast to be our tribe''s hope. But don''t worry, everything happens for a reason," Before anyone can say anything, the weak looking but the strong older man said to Ajax looking at the confusion in his eyes. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the old man in front of him with even more confusion. Ajax was confused at the older man who was strong, but he appeared to be weak. However, the older man misunderstood his confusion for another thing and said the earlier words to him. "Hello Elder, my name is Ajax", Ajax introduced himself politely to the old tribe leader. "Hi, Ajax, I am Qrewek, the tribe leader of the Lightning Hawk tribe," the old man also introduced himself with a smallugh on his old wrinkled face. "If you want to ask any questions, you can ask me, I will answer to the best of my knowledge," After introducing himself, seeing the hesitation on Ajax''s face, Qrewek asked Ajax to shoot his questions. Nodding his head, Ajax quickly asked his first question, "Elder Qrewek, how do you know that Snow was my contracted beast?". "Huh, so, its name is Snow. That suits it," Elder Qrewek praised its name before saying, "I sensed a spirit mark in its spirit consciousness and rted it to you and finally concluded it as your contracted spirit beast." Ajax didn''t show the shock he was feeling inside his heart. The reason for his shock was, it was impossible to sense other''s spirit consciousness without others'' permission much less detecting a spirit mark that was ced in the corner of the spirit consciousness. ''I think he long crossed the realm of Elite general and entered the King realm'', Ajax thought of only one possibility and became even more alert ncing at the smiling old man in front of him. "About the contest, will there be any problem for me at the contest?" Ajax asked his original question suppressing his shock. "Yes, Although the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe don''t bother with you, the three-legged Fire Crow sun tribe won''t even spare a thought to not kill you", Elder Qrewek slowly said, looking at Ajax''s face carefully. "Why would they do that?" Ajax thought this was not as simple as it seems and asked Elder Qrewek. "It traces back to the hundreds of years", Elder Qrewek cleared his throat before continuing, "Around a hundred years ago, some humans from an unknown world entered the Five elemental world and stumbled upon the region ruled by the Fire crow tribe. No one knows what happened between those otherworld humans and the Fire crow tribe members, but ever since then, they swore to kill every human they see, and in thesest hundred years, they killed many humans from the other world." "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows when he heard the history between the humans and the Fire crow and wondered what could have happened between them that led them to an all-out war between them. "You keep on saying ''otherworldly humans'', did that mean there are no humans in this Five elemental world?" Ajax raised a question about the Five elemental world. "That''s right, there are no humans in the Five elemental world, but asionally some General and the elite general cultivators will appear, but no one knows how they end up here," Elder Qrewek shook his head and stared at Ajax and asked, "How did you end up here?". "I, I cam¡­.", Ajax started stammering with his answer. "Tribe leader Qrewek, a lot of loud noises areing from the Ancient grounds. Moreover, the Fire crow tribe and the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe leaders along with their tribe members arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Grounds already", A hawk tribe birdman came flying from a distance and quickly said the important news interrupting Ajax. When someone interrupted him, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he really didn''t know what to exin to the Elder Qrewek''s question. Hearing the news from his tribe member, Elder Qrewek shocked and looked in the direction of the birdman who came from behind a mountain. "Is it time already?" Elder Qrewek muttered slowly before turning to Ajax and threw a small white feather at him. Ajax caught it when he heard the Elder Qrewek''s words, "It is our Ancestor, Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s features, it will help you in keeping your identity as a human and make others think that you are of a Light dragon hawk tribe." When he heard the words of the Elder Qrewek, his hands trembled. As for a reason, it was very simple. The small white feather belonged to the Legendary Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor. Chapter 119: Heaven grade Artifac

119 Heaven grade Artifac

The three tribes, Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe, Three-legged Fire Crow tribe and Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe were started by three legendary Emperors who evolved from ordinary spirit beasts. However, no one knows how strong they were and where they went. But in every generation, there will be one tribe member in each generation, who has the probability of bing the next Emperor. Only if they were alive, they could be one. Ajax, with the trembling hands, used the system to check the small white feather. ''Ding, Item name:- Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s feather. Artifact Grade:- Low-level Heaven Grade Passive Effects:- 1) Hides the original presence of the User and makes them look like an evolved lightning hawk tribe member by others. 2) It increases the original movement speed of the user by the factor of two. Artifact skill:- 1) Flight:- The user can fly with his increased movement speed for five minutes. Special Effect:- Can block the three full attacks of the King realm attacks. Number of blocks left:- 2/3 "What? This small feather is a Heaven grade artifact?" Ajax became speechless when he saw the system notification. With each line he read on the holographic screen, he became shocked and checked the information regarding the small feather once again. "Damn, the special effect is broken", Ajax excitedly thought in his mind, about the special effect of the artifact. It was way too powerful, as it can block the King realm cultivators full attacks three times, causing Ajax to be excited and happy. "But why is he giving me something so valuable?" with the white feather in trembling hands, Ajax thought but didn''t ask. ''There is no free lunch in this world. If anyone gives you something they expect something of simr value or more from you'', Ajax thought in silently and controlled his excitement. "You must be wondering, why I gave this to you, right?"Elder Qrewek did not miss the expression of the Ajax. "Yes, Elder Qrewek", Ajax nodded his head agreeing with the tribe leader. "ording to the records in our Hawk shrine, the one who wille with our pure-blooded tribe''s childe, should be given this feather", slowly, Elder Qrewek exined the reason behind his gift and continued, "Now, go and rest in my house. I will quickly go and check the Ancient grounds with other tribe leaders." Ajax nodded his head, sensing the urgency in Elder Qrewek''s voice. "Kraiww, look after Ajax until I return", Elder Qrewek ordered the older brother among the two birdmen whom Ajax followed here, to take care of him. "Yes, Chief", Kraiww replied, epting the mission dly. ording to him, looking after the Master of their pure-blooded tribe''s childe was an honour, so he was happy with the mission. After giving his order, Elder Qrewek flew away in the direction of the birdman who came earlier to ry the news in a lightning sh. Ajax did not even have a chance to see clearly the after images before the Elder Qrewek vanished from the sky. "He was fast", Ajax marvelled at the speed of the Elder Qrewek. "Sir Ajax, follow me. I will show you, your room", Kraiww motioned Ajax to follow him into the tribe leader''s house. Nodding his head, Ajax and Snow followed Kraiww and entered the house. As soon as he entered the house, he was shocked by the interior space of the house. The interior of the house looked much bigger than outside. "Huh?" Kraiww saw the shock on Ajax''s face when he turned back and exined, "The interior of the tribe leader''s house was inscribed with spatial arrays, so it looked much bigger than outside." Ajax nodded his head in understanding. He knows that there was one profession which is easier to learn whenpared to Alchemy. That is Arrays. Those who were mastered in the Arrays are called Array masters. "So, that means, Elder Qrewek is an array master", Ajax asked as he followed Kraiww. "Yes and not a low-level one but a rank 4 array master," Kraiww proudly said about it. Kraiww suddenly thought of something and said, "There is no one who has as much knowledge as him in the Five Elemental World and called as the most intelligent tribe leader." Soon they reached a room, and Kraiww said, "This your room, Sir Ajax. If you need anything, you can use the transmission talisman inside the room". "Sure," Ajax nodded his head and said, "actually, I have something I wanted to ask you". Ajax was somewhat embarrassed when he said that. "Sure, Sir Ajax. Go ahead and ask," Kraiww said in a whisper when he saw the embarrassed Ajax and misunderstood his embarrassment for something else. So, he asked in a whisper before looking left and right. "I need three ingredients which are Ruby grass, Lake moss, and the Elephant ry, Do you have it?", Ajax asked ring at Kraiww. "Oh? So, Sir Ajax wants some alchemy ingredients", Kraiw rubbed his head for misunderstanding Ajax. And continued, "Although we can notpare to the Fire crow tribe in terms of Alchemy, we have few rank 3 alchemists, so we manage a constant flow of alchemy ingredients for our Alchemists." After praising their tribe for some time, Kraiww came to the actual point and said, "I will go and check the inventory and send them to you". "By the way, how many sets do you want?", before leaving, Kraiww asked about the number of sets. "More than 200 sets will be okay", Ajax thought of a second and said. As he was required to refine at least 100 rank 1 pills forpleting the Mission Alchemy Maniac, and after calcting the fifty percent sess rate with the basic fire refining technique, he needed at least 200 sets to refine 100 times sessfully. "Okay, 200 sets", Kraiww turned around to leave, muttering the 200 sets. "How many?"But after taking two steps, he froze with the number of sets he muttered and asked Ajax again. "200 sects but if you have more, you can also send them to me", Ajax replied and thinking that Kraiww was worrying about the cost, he said, "I can pay for the ingredients with spirit stones". "No need, they are only low-level ingredients anyway," Kraiww just shook his head, denying the spirit stones and left. Chapter 120: Krico

120 Krico

"Tribe leader, the Hawk tribe leader, is here," a humanoid figure with the crow''s wings behind his back notified a ck-robed older man. Behind his back, two massive ck wings opened up, hearing the words for a second before closing. The opened wings looked majestic and intimidated the reporting crow-man. Only when the wings folded, did he heaved a sigh of relief and felt rxed. "Let''s go and meet up with him," the ck-robed older man who was called tribe leader ordered his tribesmen to follow him to meet the tribe leader of the Hawk tribe. Soon, they came out and saw the tribe leader of the Lightning Hawks talking with an olderdy in a light blue robe that has a ck coloured border and walked towards them. "Hello, Qrewek and Kira," the ck-robed older man greeted them when he reached them. He looked at them with a smile that looked cunning and hideous. Kira, the older woman who was speaking with Qrewek, was the tribe leader of the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe. "Hello, Krico," Although his greeting did not seem good, both Hawk tribe leader Qrewek and Sparrow tribe leader Kira returned the greetings uninterestedly. "Qrewek, I heard your tribecks the participant for the three-tribe contest this time. Was it true?" Krico didn''t mind their greetings and asked Qrewek with a worried look on his face. But Qrewek knows the exact meaning behind those words as though he was indicating to him that their Hawk tribe will be doomed after the contest. "Really, I didn''t know that, but our tribe''s childe was training every day with my guidance and improving his bloodline day by day," Hawk tribe leader, Qrewek appeared shocked and denied the Fire crow tribe leader''s words. Although it was a in lie, what he said has some truth to it. That the Lightning Dragon Hawk they have now was the one with the highest and purest bloodline, they ever had in thest 50 or 60 years. So Qrewek added that their participant was training with his guidance and improving the purity of Lightning dragon Hawk Emperor bloodline. Qrewek''s words made both Fire Crow and Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe leaders shocked and became serious. It was not an impossible thing to improve their bloodline; it was just very hard. However, it required the highest level of training, and hard work along with a vast amount of resources to improve the bloodline putty by a tiny bit. So, both the tribe leaders were shocked when they heard the Hawk tribe''s participant had improved his bloodline by training. "Anyway, it is only by a tiny bit though, how are your tribe''s participants doing?" Qrewekughed inside his heart when he saw their shocked expressions and asked about their tribe''s participants. "Our participant has only a mediocre level of the bloodline whenpared with the previous three-tribe contests," Sparrow tribe''s leader, Kira, said with a bitter sigh. She knows that whoever misses this year''s contests, they will lose a lot, and their tribe suffers terribly. And the most important thing was they would be forever thest in the three-tribe contests, and their tribe will not get any resources which will automatically lead to the destruction of her tribe. But she can not do anything now, as there was nothing in her hands that could improve the bloodline of her tribe''s participant. That did not mean she never tried improving the bloodline purity with training, but heaven yed a cruel game with her, and not even a tiny bit of bloodline was enhanced. "Our participant also has only a mediocre level of bloodline purity," the Fire crow tribe leader sighed as he shook his head. However, the other two tribe leaders never believed him as they already know that their participant this year has the highest level of bloodline purity from thest hundred years. ''This old fool is perfect in his acting as usual,'' Hawk''s tribe leader Qrewek and Netherworld Ice Sparrow''s tribe leader Kira thought in their minds at the same time. They already know the actual characters of everyone. Among the three tribe leaders, the Fire Crow tribe leader was the most cunning and cruel; the Lightning Hawk tribe leader was known for his intelligence, and the Ice sparrow tribe leader was the most mysterious. " I heard that there were noises from the Ancient grounds earlier? Is it time for the contest?" Qrewek asked after their small interactions about the participants. "Yes, when the sounds came, I was nearby, and I came here hurriedly. The sounds are the same sounds that indicate our three tribes to prepare for the contest," Fire crow tribe leader, Krico exined slowly, as he was the one who came here first when he heard the sounds. "We will start the contest in two days then, what do you say?", Kira suggested to the other two tribe leaders. "I have no problem with that," Krico was the first to agree to her suggestion. "Sure, I also have no problem," Qrewek also agreed to her suggestion, since his tribe found the participant anyway. "I have some work back at the tribe then, I will take my leave," Kira left directly after finishing her words. "What''s with her? Why is she in a hurry?" seeing the disappeared Kira with her long purple wings behind her, Krico asked Qrewek. "Who knows, she was always like that. Anyway, I will take my leave now," seeing that Kira left, Qrewek also said his words and left. "I know both of you are try something behind, but I will let you know soon that there will be only one tribe in the Shixato Wilds and that is Fire crow tribe, Hahhahaha," Krico said to himself and at the end of his words, he startedughing loudly. "I should think of a way to improve the bloodline of my tribe''s participant in this two days; otherwise, from the likes of the Fire crow, they will do something crazy in the contest," On his way back to the Hawk tribe, Qrewek racked his brains for a way to improve the bloodline of Snow who came to his tribe in the morning. "And, also, there was something off about that human?" Qrewek thought about Ajax and said these words. Chapter 121: New use of Thunder Pools Water

121 New use of Thunder Pool''s Water

"And, also there was something off about that human?" Qrewek thought about Ajax and said the words. But before he can reach the Hawk tribe, he was unable to find a way to improve the bloodline of Snow and simply shook his head and left the matter about winning the contest to the heavens. After entering his house, he wanted to say about the contest that was going to be held in two days. However, he saw the Kraiww going towards Ajax''s room, and he asked him to ry his words about the contest to Ajax before he went into his room. Kraiww nodded his head at his tribe leader and resumed walking towards Ajax''s room. ''Knock Knock'' In the room, Ajax heard the knocking sound and opened it. "Sir Ajax, the things you asked are in this space rings. I totally swept the entire inventory for these ingredients and managed to find 300 of each herb," Kraiww said with a tired expression. However, he was not tired at all, and he just indicated that he worked very hard. "Thanks for the hard word, Kraiww", Ajax politely thanked Kraiww for his hard work. Although Kraiww was one of the elders of the Hawk tribe and a general realm, Ajax called him by his name as per Kraiww''s request. "Ok Sir Ajax, I won''t bother you anymore", Kraiww turned to leave, but he suddenly stopped when remembered Qrewek''s words. "By the way Sir Ajax, tribe leader Qrewek said, the contest will be in two and asked you and Snow to take enough rest before the contest", He said what Elder Qrewek asked him to say, to Ajax before started moving. Ajax just nodded his head and closed the door. After closing the door, he checked the ingredients in the space ring, which are ced separately in it. "Now, it''s time to refine some rank one pills for the Alchemy Maniac mission", Ajax thought to in head, but when he saw the Snow which was sleepingfortably in a?nest-like bed beside him, he felt he should do something to increase its strength for the contest in the two days. After thinking for some time, he thought about two avable options up in his sleeve. One was to allow it to drink some thunder pool''s water and another one was using his lottery to draw some kind of item which will help Snow to increase its strength. He has won a reward of one free attempt to draw in the lottery, from Upgrading Necros to the Elemental Spirit Commander realm which he did not use and saved it to use when he has more free attempts to draw. Due to the situation, he finally decided to use his free attempt to draw for an item from the lottery. "Although the lottery is not as reliable as thunder pool''s water, which may give out any random item," Ajax thought for a while before using his avable attempt to use the lottery. "System, using my free attempt, please draw an item that is useful to the current situation", Ajax prayed the system as he asked it to use his avable free attempt to draw an item from the lottery. ''Ding, The item from the lottery feature will be drawn randomly, and no one knows what item will be drawn from it. ''Ding, Does the host still want to use the attempt to draw an item for the lottery? "Yes", Ajax dejectedly epted to use his avable attempt to draw the item, because he just wanted to give it a try. "I will use that free attempt in the future anyway, why don''t I give a try now", Ajax has this thought when he decided to use the avable free attempt. ''Ding, One attempt was consumed form the avable attempts. The number of attempts left:- None. ''Ding, Drawing a random item for the lottery feature, please wait. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for drawing an essence gem of a rank three spirit beast from the lottery. "Only a rank 3 spirit beast essence gem?" Ajax was dejected instantly when he saw the reward. Although the reward was not bad, there was no way that will help Snow to increase its strength nor the bloodline. "Sigh¡­.." Ajax sighed at the essence gem in his hand. "System can I crush the essence gem and mix it with the thunder pool''s water and then let Snow consume the mixture? Will there be any side effects or loss of energy in the essence gem?" Ajax suddenly thought of an idea of mixing the thunder pool''s water along with the crushed essence gem of the rank three spirit beast. ''Ding, The host does not need to crush the essence gem. Just put the essence gem in the thunder pool''s water and allow it to soak for a few moments. ''DIng, That will not waste any energy from the essence gem, as thunder pool''s water absorb the essence of nature form the essence gem and drinking that mixed water will have a better effect than crushing the stone. "Huh? So, you can answer sometimes," Ajax was happy as he helped him in knowing a new method to use the thunder pool''s water. He took out the thunder pool''s water from the inventory and poured it in a bowl that was in the room. After that, he ced the essence gem into that bowl. As soon as he ced the essence gem in the bowl, it turned in powder before dissolving entirely without a trace. It took only a few moments for sparking lights to appear in the thunder pool''s water, and he sensed a rich essence of energy from it. "Snow,e here", Ajax woke up Snow by lightly tapping its head. "Here, drink this", As it knows that Ajax will not harm it, he consumed the shining waterpletely before went back to its sleep. "I have a great expectation from you Snow," Ajax looked at the sleeping Snow in the nest-like bed beforeing back to his mission Alchemy maniac. Chapter 122: Continuous refining of rank 1 pills

122 Continuous refining of rank 1 pills

Ajax came to one corner of the room and carefully took out the three ingredients, namely Ruby grass, Lake moss, and the Elephant ry. These ingredients are fundamental ingredients and can be found anywhere much less in the Five elemental world, which was known for its rich essence of nature. That was the reason, Kraiww quickly found so many of them just by searching the Hawk tribe''s ingredients storage and easily given away without any hesitation. Soon, Ajax took ten of each ingredient and ced them in front of him separately in order. He quickly arranged the 10 sets of herbs and started his refining. For the refining this time he didn''t use the low-level mortal grade cauldron but a new technique he got from a system mission. That''s right; when using the Basic Fire Refining technique, there was no need for any cauldron. Ajax got puzzled when he read the description of the refining technique, like how can anyone refine pills without a cauldron. However, after the knowledge of the refining technique was injected into his mind by the system, he found some uniques theories in his head. ''Fire is not only an element but a weapon. Fire is not only a weapon but also a medium. Fire is not only a medium but a light in the darkness. Fire is not only light in the darkness but a mystery itself. Uncovering the mystery makes you unfold yourselves.'' These lines made him think a lot about the mystery of the fire. With the newly gained profound knowledge about the fire, Ajax thought that he could improve his sess rate from 50 percent to more than that. Ajax repeated the lines he got from the basic fire refining technique and created fire from his universal essence of nature in the shape of a cauldron which was not very stable. After some time, he was finally able to make the fire in the shape of the cauldron. He shifted the control of the fire cauldron to one hand and managed to free the other hand. He did not stop there, and slowly he managed to grab one set of ingredients with his free hand. Just as he was about to throw the ingredient into the fire cauldron, the stable fire became unstable, and the cauldron shape changed. As he shifted his attention to the unstable fire in one of his hand, the ingredients in his other hands were charred and destroyed thoroughly. "Shit," Ajax scolded himself before continuing again. This time he managed to stabilize the fire quicker than before and managed to free one hand. With a free hand, he managed to refine one set of ingredients by producing another fire from his universal essence of nature. As though he thought everything went smoothly, the refining of the Elephant ry failed, which made the stable fire in his other hand, unstable. "Damn it", Ajax shouted but didn''t lose his confidence and continued the process. Every time he refined a set of ingredient, he failed. Still, he managed to learn a discovery from his every failure in the refinement. Ting, "Please heavens, let this batch of pills be refined sessfully", when he heard the sound from the fire cauldron, he prayed heavens before opening the fire cauldron with a thought. "Hahahhaah" After refining for 11th time, he finally refined his first set of the ingredients making him heave a sigh of relief andughed for some time to express his happiness at the sessful refining. He took rest for a short while, before continuing his refining of the rank 1 level breaking pills. Although Level breaking pills were not that useful for Ajax, he can consume it to gain some essence of nature from each pill. That''s right; he can not only gain the essence of nature from killing others but also by consuming a specific type of pills that were focused on cultivation. When he started refining 12th time, he failed at the critical junction of the refinement, but that didn''t stop him from making another round of refining. To his surprise, he failed for the 13th time, making him somewhat sorrow. He took a short break to rx before starting the next round of refining. When he failed two times back to back, Ajax was downcasted when he refined for the 14th time. But soon, his dejected mood turned happy, when that refinement was sessful. With the same flow, he continued his refinement until his essence of nature waspletely exhausted. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness is below 50 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The system suggests the host to take some rest before starting his refinement. ''Ding, The host can consume the pills he refined to increase the number of units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Still, the host needs some rest before the next refinement of the pills. When he heard the continuous system notifications in his head, Ajax quickly checked his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 20 units/ 6200 units (200 units capacity is currently locked ) The host needs to contract his first official spirit to unlock the locked spirit consciousness capacity and to increase the passive increment from the spirit cultivation technique. Ajax was shocked when he saw his current units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness as he didn''t expect the refining of rank 1 pills was too consuming whenpared to the regr procedure of using a real cauldron to refine. But Ajax didn''t mind that consumption as he can increase his number of units of the essence of nature by consuming the level-breaking pills he refined. "System, how much time has passed since I started refining the pills?", Ajax was immersed in the refining of pills, which caused him to forget the flow of time. So, he asked the system about the time. ''Ding, The host refined for a total of eight hours, refining a total of 152 times. "What? I was?immersed in the refining for a total of eight hours?" Ajax didn''t believe that, because he didn''t felt like eight hours have passed. But, soon he became happy when he read thetter part of the system notification which said he refined for a total of 152 times. ''I wonder how many times I have sessfully refined?'' Ajax expectantly asked the system, "System, please separate the sessful refinements and failures from the total number of refinement of pills." Chapter 123: Raweth

123 Raweth

''I wonder how many times I have sessfully refined?'' Ajax expectantly asked the system, "System, please separate the sess and failures from the total number of refinement of pills." ''Ding, Total numbers of refinements:- 152 Sessful refinements:- 66 Failed refinements:- 86 "Woah, It is more than expected," Ajax was over the cloud nine when he looked at the detailed information of the refinements. "All the credit goes to the basic fire refinement technique. Without it, I wonder how many sessful refinements I would have made", Ajax thought to himself and praised the basic fire refining technique. "With only 50 percent sess rate, I can make this many sessful refinements then what will happen if it is increased to 70 or 80 or 100 percent", Ajax felt that he should upgrade the basic fire refining technique to see whether it''s sess rate can increase or not. "System, show me..." before he can even finish his sentence, he fell on to the ground and started snoring loudly. Since he was very tired after refining non-stop for a total of eight hours, he slept like a log. Along with the essence of nature, his whole body, along with his mind, waspletely tired and fell unconscious without him knowing. ...¡­ In one of the rooms of the tribe leader Qrewek''s house, "I know, this human is not an average human, Only with the level 2mander realm strength, he can refine the rank pills for almost eight hours without taking any break", Qrewek muttered, sitting in his room. With his spirit sense, he observed Ajax every now and then. Each time he observed Ajax, he was met with a shock. As a rank 3 Alchemist, he knows what it feels like to refine the pills continuously without any rest. But he saw Ajax didn''t even take a single break for eight hours and continuously refined the pills. "Although, there is nothing great in refining the rank 1 level breaking pills, refining for many hours without any proper rest is only possible for peak rank 3 alchemists or general realm cultivators", Qrewek evaluated Ajax as a genius born to be an Alchemist. "How much essence of nature did he store in his body for refining that long?" Qrewek stopped thinking about Ajax after receiving some continuous shocks from him. Just as he was about to withdraw his spirit sense from the Ajax''s room, he felt familiar energy in his room. "Huh, is he going to break through?" he immediately urged his spirit sense to observe in the direction of the familiar energy and saw Snow, who was giving the energy fluctuations from its body. Qrewek observed it for a while, before withdrawing his spirit sense back into his body. "Although, its bloodline may not be increased, its strength will definitely improve from mid-level rank 3 tote level rank 3, improving its winning chances in the contest." Qrewek nodded his head at the small improvement in the Snow''s strength. ... In a Volcanic area, "Raweth, make sure to increase your bloodline purity to at least 55 percent" A ck-robed older man looked at a figure in theva and said. The figure in theva looked like a young man who had crow wings behind his back. There were several scars on his body, indicating he fought many battles. Even counting one scar from a single fight, one could say that he fought more than 1000 battles. When he heard his tribe leader''s words, Raweth opened his eyes, which shone with a fire for a second. "At present, I have 53 percent of purified three-legged fire crow''s bloodline, but I will try to reach that 55 percent mark in the two-day, tribe leader. "Also, make sure to look after the other participants from the two tribes when you get the chance, do you understand?", The fire crow''s tribe leader Krico ordered Raweth with a sinister look on his face. "Yes tribe leader, I know what to do," Raweth understood the meaning behind Krico''s words, and he nodded his head before submerging into theva once again. .... Next day morning, In Ajax''s room, he woke by the pecks from the lightning dragon hawk. "Wait, Snow," Ajaxzily opened his eyes and asked Snow, "What happened to you, Snow?" Ajax was shocked to see some of the white-coloured feathers turned into light purple colour. Without wasting any time, Ajax used the system to check the information on the Snow. ''Ding, Spirit Beast:- Lightning Dragon Hawk Strength:- peak of the Late rank 3 Loyalty:-?Life and death Partners. Bloodline:- Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor (52 percent purified) Skills:- Lightning Speed (Innate ability), Lightning Eagle w, Hawkeye, Thunderstorm(Innate ability). "Hmm, it broke through to peak of thete rank 3 from the peak of the mid-level rank 3, not a surprise," Ajax carefully checked its information for the changes, and he managed to find some. "Loyalty is increased from the close friends to life and death partners which sounds cool and the final change has urred in its bloodline purity which increased from 50 percent to 52 percent" Ajax was happy when he saw the purity in the bloodline increase by 2 percent. "Now, I am sure that as long as I have this thunder pool''s water, I can increase it purity to 100 percent, Hahahahaha", Ajaxughed madly, as he muttered the words to himself. "Just increase the 2 percent of the bloodline purity made some its feather turn light purple, what will happen when its bloodline increased even more in the future?", Ajax thought about the future appearance of the Snow in purple feathers. "Still, I think this strength is not enough to win the three tribe contest," when he thought of the three tribe contest all his happiness vanished and worry shed on his face. After thinking for a moment, he took out the Spirit beast king essence gem he gained earlier under the huge anteater''s carcass. Initially, he didn''t want to use this because it is waste to use on a lightning spirit beast as it will have a significant effect on the dark type beasts like his Destructive Twilight Dragon. "But since this is an ''A+'' danger rating mission, I will go all out on upgrading the Snow," with that thought in his mind he took the Spirit beast king''s essence gem out of the inventory. ************ Chapter 124: Consuming the Level-Breaking Pills

124 Consuming the Level-Breaking Pills

"But since this is an ''A'' danger rating mission, I will go all out on upgrading the Snow," with that thought in his mind he took the Spirt beast king''s essence gem out of the inventory. As soon as he took out, he was hit by the abundant dark elemental essence of nature. ''Ding, The host is under the watchful eyes of the Hawk tribe''s leader Qrewek. ''Ding, The system suggests that the host keep the spirit beast king''s essence gem into the inventory as soon as possible. Hearing the sudden system notifications, Ajax quickly stored the essence gem in the inventory. "System, is that Elder Qrewek?", Ajax asked the system with a guess. ''Ding, Yes, but not only by him, but there are also many others from the Hawk tribe who kept their eyes on you. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard many others were watching him. Yesterday, he felt that there was someone who was watching him, so he kept his guard, but he did not expect, he was under the watchful eyes of many others. "Is there no way for me to use the spirit beast king''s essence gem?" Ajax asked the system with a sense of urgency in his voice. ''Ding, The host can not use the Spirit beast king''s essence gem on SNow, as it will be unable to withhold the energy from the essence gem, and it may result in its death. ''Ding, The host needs to wait until his contracted beast to be strong enough to withstand all the energy from the spirit beast king''s essence gem. "What? I can not use the essence gem?" Ajax already had a bad premonition about this, but he wanted to try. However, when he heard the ''it may result in its death,'' Ajax removed the thought of using the essence gem on any of his contracted spirit beasts. "Until they be strong I will not use it on any my spirit beasts," Ajax muttered and went to fresh up. After bathing and changing into clean clothes, he sat on the bed as he looked at the Snow, whose feathers (some) were turned into light purple, improving its beauty even more. "I think after you increase the purity of your bloodline in the future, the name ''Snow'' will not suit you I guess," Ajax jokingly said to Snow. ''Knock knock.'' Just as he was about to walk out to eat some breakfast, someone knocked on his door. "Our leader asked us to bring you and?the childe some breakfast, Sir Ajax," as soon as he opened the door, two birdmen who looked around 20 years old stood before his room, with some considerable amount of food for him and Snow. "Huh? Thanks," Ajax thanked them and asked them to say his greeting to their tribe leader Qrewek. "Elder Qrewek is keeping a keen eye on me, I guess," Ajax thought to himself. He thought so because just when he was ready, the food came to his doorstep as though he was keeping an eye on me. Soon he finished the food, which has the same taste like the one he ate back in the Goldcrest town. However, he was puzzled at Snow, who was eating the food enthusiastically, which he never saw before. "Maybe birds find the difference in the?taste," Ajax lightly shook his head and smiled at the gluttonous hawk. After finishing their eating, Ajax gave some more thunder pool''s water for Snow to drink. Next, he checked on his other contracted Spirit beasts who were still in slumber, absorbing the energy they got recently to improve their cultivation slowly. He didn''t bother them and allowed them to continue their cultivation slowly. "I wonder, how much my contracted elemental spirits are improved?" Ajax thought of his elemental spirits, which he left in a 3-elemental area (Consists the abundant amount of essence of nature of three types of elements). Although he can sense they are safe, he can not gauge their cultivation strength as they were very far away from him. "Even if they don''t improve much, it is enough for me as long as they are safe and sound," Ajax hoped they could cultivate safer. "Now, it''s time to start refining the level-breaking pills," AJax excited, but he checked his spirit consciousness before that. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 200 units/ 6200 unis (200 units capacity are locked) "It only increased by this much after one night," Ajax sighed at his essence of nature, which was increased only by a few units. He knows that around 50+ units of the essence of nature came from Inner worlds, and the remaining units came by absorbing the essence of nature form the surrounds unconsciously by his body. "I will try consuming the pills I refined," Ajax quickly took out a gourd from the inventory. He bought the gourd for the no-name pill store, and the ingredient sand the mortal grade cauldron to store the pills he refined. It is a low-level storage item for storing the pills, so Ajax bought it when he saw it without hesitation when the shop keeper rmended the thing. From the gourd, he took out a level breaking pill and tossed into his mouth. ''Ding, The host consumed a rank one level-breaking pill. ''Ding, 50 units of the essence of nature are gained. "Woah, this is easy, now I can have an unlimited amount of essence f nature in my spirit consciousness," When he heard the second system notification, Ajax was over the moon. 50 units of the essence of nature are more than enough for him for a single pill. "If I consume all the pills I have now, then my spirit consciousness will be filled within a few moments, right?" Ajax smilingly tossed another level-breaking pill into his mouth quickly. ''Ding, The host consumed a rank 1 level-breaking pill. ''Ding, 25 units of the essence of nature are gained. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see the sudden decrease in the number of units he gained from the second level-breaking pill. ************ Chapter 125: Eating pills like candies

125 Eating pills like candies

''Ding, 25 units of the essence of nature are gained. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see the sudden decrease in the number of units he gained from the second level-breaking pill. He didn''t expect the efficiency of the pill to be decreased by half. Although he knows that the efficiency of any pill will be decreased by consuming the pill over time, he did not expect the decrement this soon. "Sigh...whatever at least 25 units are good", sighing lightly, he took another pill form the gourd and swallowed it. ''Ding, 15 units of the essence of nature are gained. "There go another 10 units," Ajax did not bother with the decreased 10 units of the essence of nature. He directly took a bunch of pills from the gourd and tossed them into his mouth. ''Ding, 10 units of the essence of nature are gained. ''Ding, 8 units of the essence of nature are gained. ''Ding, 6 units of the essence of nature are gained. . . . . . ''Ding, 2 units of the essence of nature are gained. ''Ding, 2 units of the essence of nature are gained. As the number of pills he consumed increased, the pills'' efficiency also decreased finally settled at 2 units per pill. All his previous expectations were in vain when he saw the final number of units he gained for one pill. "Anyway, I have more than 700 pills which will give more than 1400 units of the essence of nature," Ajax consoled himself with the less number of units he was gaining and thought that these essences of nature would be enough for him tost for some rounds of refinement before he gets some more pills. After consuming all the pills in the gourd, he checked his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 3255 units/ 6200 unis (200 units capacity are locked). "Not bad, not bad. At least I got more than 3000 units of the essence of nature from the refined pills," Ajax felt somewhat better when he saw his spirit consciousness was filled by half. "If I managed to refine rank 2 or higher than that in the future, then I have nothing to worry about the essence of nature and easily upgrade my skills and other things," Ajax interest on the alchemy increased when he thought about the high ranked pills which can give him more essence of nature. Although he can buy the pills form some alchemy store, he can''t continuously buy and eat for the increment of the essence of nature. Mostly, the high ranked pills are hard to find and even if managed to find, they are very costly. So, he can''t buy the pills in the long run. "Still, the consumption of essence of nature to refine one batch of pills is somewhat high andparing it with the gained essence of nature form the refined pills is not very," He started thinking about the consumption of the refinement. "I need to refine rank 2 pills to get the more essence of nature", he thought of improving his Alchemist rank quickly. Even so, he has to finish the Alchemy maniac mission to get any further alchemy missions. He checked the mission progress, ''Ding, Mission name:- Alchemy maniac Description:- Refine any rank one pills 100 times sessfully. Mission progress:- 66/100 Danger rating:- No danger Reward:- A Mysterious reward box Time limit:- Within one month after this mission was generated. Penalty:- Sealing one major realm of the cultivation. "Uffffu¡­ Just 44 sessful attempts more toplete the mission," Ajax took a long breath before proceeding to his refining position form yesterday. He took out tens of sets of ingredients and ced them on the ground ording to his convenience. Soon, he immersed himself with the refining. ¡­.. In the main room of the Hawk tribe''s leader''s house, "This human kid is very diligent in the refining of the pills non-stop," Qwerek looked at the Ajax with his spirit sense and found out that he was back to refining. "If only we have some kids like that in our Hawk tribe, it would have long surpassed other tribes¡­.Sigh", at the end of his words, Qwerek sighed think about his tribe''s younger generation who always y flying in the sky. "Also, what did he gave to his contract beast, that managed to improve its bloodline purity" Elder Qwerek next looked at the sleeping Snow and thought about its increased bloodline purity. "Although it is only increased by a small margin, it will increase its chances in the three tribe contest," Qwerek contemted for a moment before deciding to ask Ajax about the improvement in the bloodline purity of his contracted spirit beast. ...¡­ ''Ding, The essence of nature in the host''s spirit consciousness is less than 50, ''Ding, The system suggests the hosts wait or cultivate until the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness can increase. Back in the Ajax''s room, he woke up the system notifications, which were reminding him of his low essence of nature. Without wasting any time, he swallowed the newly refined level-breaking pills which were stored in the gourd. ''Ding, 2 units of the essence of nature are gained. ''Ding, 2 units of the essence of nature are gained. . .. . .. .. Soon, he got some notifications about his gained essence of nature from consuming the level-breaking pills. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 3520 units/ 6200 unis (200 units capacity are locked). "Huh? The number of units of the essence of nature, I gained in this alchemy session is more than yesterday''s alchemy session of 8 hours", Ajaxpared the two alchemy sessions where he refined the rank1 pills. "System, please show today''s alchemy session''s records," he was excited to know how much he improved in refining the pills. Yesterday, he refined for a total of eight hours and managed to refine the pills for 152 times,bining both the sessful and failed attempts. In which he sessfully refine 66 times, resulting hm gain 792 rank 1 pills. (For one round of sessful refinement 12 pills will be refined) But now, he only managed to refine for 6 hours and consumed the refined pills and gained almost the same number of the essence of nature. So, he asked the system to show him the records of his refinements. ''Ding, ************ Chapter 126: An Additional Reward

126 An Additional Reward

''Ding, Total numbers of refinements:- 120 Sessful refinements:- 67 Failed refinements:- 53 "Hahahaha, my sessful refinements increased more than 50 percent", As soon as he read the system notification, Ajaxughed loudly at his improvement in refining the pills. ''Ding, The host refined the rank 1 pills more than 100 times sessfully. ''Ding, The mission:- ''Alchemy maniac'' ispleted. ''Ding, A Mysterious reward box is stored in the inventory. Please check it. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host forpleting the given mission in less than a week. An additional reward is given. ''Ding, Additional reward:- A title is added to the host''s user interface. Please check it. "Huh? An additional title?" Ajax happily opened his user interface to check what that title was and what will it do. ''Ding, Name:- Ajax Race:- Human Title:- Alchemy Maniac Bloodline:- Abyssal Bloodline "Here it is," Ajax saw a new section ''Title'' appear beneath the ''Race'' section. He concentrated on the title ''Alchemy Maniac'' ''Ding, Title:- Alchemy Maniac Description:- One who refines pills like a crazy person and doesn''t know when to stop. Uses:- 1) Increases the pills'' sess rate refined by 25 percent and limited to rank 1 pills. 2) Locked (Unlocks when the required condition satisfied) "Now, am I a lunatic who refines the pills?" Ajax thought about the two refining sessions and concluded, "I am bing one." Before the system generated the first alchemy mission, he was not very interested in refining the pills. Still, with the mission ''Alchemy Maniac,'' he finally turned into one by refining the rank 1 pills continuously. "The first use is good, that can help him refine more pills sessfully. Adding to 50 percent probability I have with the basic fire refining technique, now I have a 75 percent sess rate," he calcted the total sess rate for him to refine the pills and felt satisfied. "But, what is the second use that is locked," he just thought to himself ad didn''t bother with it as it was mentioned clearly beside the ''Locked,'' it has to meet some conditions before it unlocks. "Now, since the checking of the acquired reward details ispleted, it''s time to open the Mysterious reward box." Ajax felt that the mysterious reward box could give him some go item. Previously he acquired a chance to enter the five elemental world from the mysterious reward box, which caused him to increase his expectations even more. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. Just as he was about to take the mysterious reward box from the inventory, he got the system notification, informing him about the newly generated system mission. "As expected," Ajax was expecting a mission since he started to understand how the quest tab works. "As soon as Iplete a mission, it will generate a new mission with the increased difficulty," he sighed at the working and didn''t waste his time checking the new mission in the quest tab. ''Ding, Mission:- Elevate all your unofficial contracted elemental spirits to the Commander realm. Rewards:- A Special reward box Time limit:- one month Danger rating:- None Mission failure:- Sealing the host''s cultivation by one major realm. "What? A non- alchemy mission?" Ajax was first shocked as he thought he understood the quest tab, but with this, his previous understanding was all in vain. He thought so like that because he assumed he would get an alchemy mission as per his previous knowledge, but suddenly the quest tab changed its pattern. "But the mission seems possible as I have only Spirus and it remaining to break through to themander realm," he was happy to see an easy mission. It required all his Unofficial contracted elemental spirits to break through to themander realm. "A special reward box is something new I never got before, I wonder how good is it whenpared to the mysterious reward box," Ajax looked at the reward which was something he never saw before and wondered how good it would be. "One month, ok." "No danger, ok." "Mission failure is the same as the previous ''Alchemy mission'', which is to seal my cultivation," he checked all the mission details. He didn''t have any worry or tension for the new mission as he has full confidence in his elemental spirits. Volcanic and Necros were already in the Elemental spirit Commander realm. In contrast, Spirus and it are progressing very quickly in the area with the abundant essence of their respective elements'' nature. "Even if they were unable to break through tomander realm here, they will definitely break through to Elemental spiritmander in no time," Ajax muttered and before proceeding to open his Mysterious reward box. "System, open mysterious reward box," Ajax ordered the system to open the mysterious reward box with hopeful eyes. ''Ding, Mysterious reward box is opened. ''Ding, The host found a Commander realm elemental spirit stone, which only has 50 percent of the original energy. "What? A broken elemental spirit stone?" Ajax found it hard to believe and checked the system notifications once again to confirm what he saw. "It''s really an elemental spirit stone which has only 50 percent of energy," he quickly took the elemental spirit stone into his hands, which has only half the size of themander realm elemental spirit stone he previously had. "System, tell me one thing, did you consume the other half?" Ajax asked the system with a serious look on his face. ''Ding, A mysterious reward box is just like a lottery, which can sometimes give a very good item and an awful item. A system notification came into his mind exining about the mysterious reward box. "Then from the next time, directly reward me with an attempt in the lottery as a reward instead of giving out the mysterious reward boxes," He suggested the system to change the reward naming for future missions. ''Ding, There is a difference between the Lottery and the Mysterious reward box, which the host will be able to find by himself in the future. "Then what is this Special reward box." Ajax sighed at thetest system notification and asked a new question. ************ Chapter 127: Elders of the Hawk Tribe

127 Elders of the Hawk Tribe

"Then what is this Special reward box." Ajax sighed at thetest system notification and asked a new question. ''Ding, A special reward box, as its name suggests its a special one. ''Ding, In it, there are no low-level items, and all the avable items are outstanding and high-level ones. "Atleast, the special reward box is good," when he heard the special reward box''s exnation, he nodded his head in agreement, and his eagerness for the special reward box increased a lot. When someone knows there was a box, and you will get a good item from it when youplete a particr task, who doesn''t show some enthusiasm inpleting the job sooner. Like everyone, he wanted toplete the mission as soon as possible to see what type of high-level item was stored in the Special reward box. "Since I have nothing to the moment, should I visit the elemental spirits?" he thought about going to the location where his elemental spirits were cultivating. However, he soon rejected that idea as it will take at least one day to go to that location, and he can not return in time for the three tribe''s contest, which he does not want to miss. He thought that it would be better to stay here and cultivate since he can cultivate at the same speed everywhere in the Five elemental world. Soon, he sat on his bed and entered into deep cultivation to umte the essence of nature into his spirt consciousness. As he started cultivation with his main cultivation technique ''Heaven and Earth refining technique,'' the essence of nature form the surroundings entered into his body at a very speed. "What? How can the essence of nature is this abundant here whenpared with the previous location I cultivated," Ajax opened his eyes suddenly, the shock was apparent in his eyes and confusion was all over his face. When he cultivated outside the tribe leader''s house, his cultivation speed was not as quick as his current cultivation speed. "I think, the increase in the cultivation speed is due to the arrays ced in the house by the Elder Qwerek," he thought back to the words of the Kraiww when they were entering the house and remembered that the Hawk''s tribe leader was a rank 4 array master. Without wasting any time, he resumed back into his cultivation, closing his eyes. The earlier process of the essence of nature started entering into his body at a rapid pace. He waspletely immersed in his cultivation. Unbeknownst him, the time passed very quickly that the day of the three tribe contest came. ''Knock knock.'' Ajax, who was in deep cultivation in his room, opened his eyes when he heard the door''s knocking sounds. He slowly stood up from the bed and opened the door. "Sir Ajax, Good morning. Today is the day for the contest, quickly ready up and meet with us in 15 minutes outside the house," Kraiww, with a smile on his face, said to Ajax to met them in 15 minutes. Ajax was not used to the word ''Sir'' to his name yet and embarrassingly nodded his head before closing the door. "How speed, time passes when I cultivate," he was unable to keep track of the time when he was doing something with a full concentration. "Snow, Good morning," after closing the door, Ajax greeted Snow, whozily slept in its nest-like bed. "Instead of Snow, I should have kept your name as Sloth," he jokingly said to Snow before going to the bathroom to shower. After cleaning up himself, Ajax checked his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Spirt consciousness:- 6000 units/ 6200 units of the essence of nature Ajax nodded his head as he already felt the feeling. The essence of nature in his spirit consciousness was full, and he felt more energetic than ever. Soon, he took Snow with him to meet up with the others from the Hawk tribe in front o the tribe leader''s house. In front of the tribe leader''s house, he found some unfamiliar face along with Qwerek, Kraiww, and Krail. "Ajax, these five are the elders of the Hawk tribe. In which you already know Kraiww and Krail. As for the remaining ones Eica, Erek and Cretual," Qwerek introduced three elders of the Hawk tribe. Hawk tribe has five elders, who have the strength next to the tribe leader Qwerek and most of the tribe''s affairs were managed by them. Only when most essential discussions were made, the tribe leader joins them. Otherwise, it will be managed by the First elder Cretual. Ajax slowly observed them one by one. Like Kraiww and Krail, everyone hasrge hawk wings that were neatly folded behind their back. Cretual looked like the older one among the five elders of the tribe with a 2.5 meters height and was the tallest one in the Hawk tribe. Whereas Eica was the youngest with around 40 years but still looked beautiful and mature. Erek, Krail, and Kraiww almost had the same age around 50 years, with average builds. He silently used the system on them to find out their cultivation levels. ''Ding, Eica, the fifth elder of the Hawk tribe Peak level 10 elitemander realm ''Ding, Erek, the second elder of the Hawk tribe level 8 general realm ''Ding, Kraiww and Krail, the third and fourth elders of the Hawk tribe Level 1 general realm ''Ding, Cretual, the first elder of the Hawk tribe Peak level 10 General realm He was not surprised by the cultivation levels of these elders of the Hawk tribe. Instead, he was a bit disappointed by their levels. ''As the natives of the Five elemental world, a world which was full of abundant essence of naute=re, how can their cultivations be that low'' Ajax wondered about their cultivation levels. When hepared these elders, Captain Edmond was a genius who achieve the strength of the general realm in a world with less essence of nature and mostly relied on the spirit stones and other cultivation treasures. Even though he thought that he didn''tck respect for them, as he already knew that they are all evolved from the spirit beasts and cultivated very hard to reach their present levels. ************ Chapter 128: Ancient Grounds

128 Ancient Grounds

Many different races and spirit beasts inhabited the five elemental world except for the human race. As for why the human race was not inhibited in the five elemental world, no one knows. At the beginning of the five elemental world, it was onlyprised of the spirit beasts, but as time passed on, the spirit beasts in this world started to evolve into new races. From the unintelligent beings, they started to think and gradually gained intelligence and learned different professions like alchemy, arrays, etc. The Lightning dragon hawk tribe was an example of that evolution where they were evolved from an ordinary lightning hawk to lightning dragon hawk, eventually gained a humanoid form. Still, they were unable to break through to higher realms as there were not many spirit beasts that reached higher realms, and theter generationscked the teachings of the higher realms beings like the humans who have many high realm cultivators. Another problem is, they have to change their cultivation system from that of a spirit beast to the humanoid version and start cultivation from the start just like a human cultivation system from level 1 of the soldier realm. As for the reason why they will re-cultivate again was to get a stable foundation in their cultivation. Because of this re-cultivation, they were naturally more robust than the humans in the same cultivation realm. "Ajax, that is the ce where the three tribes contest takes ce," Kraiww pointed to an ancient ruin in the distance exining Ajax. Ajax nced at the ruins only to see the area looked, just like a graveyard of human society, but there was a small difference. Instead of burying the coffins into the ground, these bird folks left the coffins, which looked way bigger than the human coffins in the open field, puzzling Ajax. Even though he wanted to ask about it, Ajax suppressed his curiosity as he didn''t know more about these bird folk''s traditions. Although he was very far from the ancient ruins, he was able to see some part of the ruins, which has a weird aura surrounding it, but he knew it was not a death aura. All the trees in ruins were radiating with life, and the air there was fresh, but to his confusion, he was unable to see any spirit beasts inside the ruins except for therge coffins left in the open space. As he observed the Ancient ruins, two more groups of bird folk came to the same destination as them. Looking at the appearance and the spirit beasts behind them, Ajax quickly recognized as Fire crow tribe and Netherworld Ice Sparrow. When Ajax and others were on their way to Ancient grounds, he asked some questions to Kraiww and understood some things about the races in the five elemental world. Every tribe does not have only humanoid beings but also other spirit beasts of their tribe, which will turn into humanoid form one day in the future. Only when he heard that his worry towards Snow, which was only in a spirit beast form but had the highest bloodline level, decreased and was excited to see the contest. So when he saw the fire crows in one group and ice sparrows in another group, he quickly rted them to their tribes. Soon, all three groups form three different tribes gathered in front of the Ancient grounds''rge gate. ''What will happen next?'' Ajax curiously looked at the ancient-looking gate and wondered. Since Ajax was using the feather from the Lightning dragon hawk emperor, his human presence was masked by the lightning dragon hawk''s scent, making him look like a member of the Hawk tribe. Slowly, three tribe leaders from each group walked to the ancient-looking gate and muttered something while holding their hands. Although he was unable to hear their mutterings, he can see that they were all chanting the same thing at the exact time. Amidst their chanting, the ancient-looking gate slowly opened. "Come behind us and don''t look sideways after entering into the Anicent grounds," All three tribe leaders said to their tribe members to follow behind them with caution and entered into the ce called ''Ancient grounds.'' After they traveled for some time, they stopped at a huge ancient coffin with various symbols. Besides the various symbols, there were three slots on top of the ancient coffin. Slowly one by one, the three tribe leaders went to the coffin, and each tribe leader ced an orb into the slots of the coffin. After all the slots were filled, the top of the coffin was opened, and an older birdman who has broken wings with eyes that looked lifeless with tattered clothes on his old body, stood up from the coffin, making Ajax and the participants of the contest shocked. "Where are the participants?" the birdmen asked with an eerie smile on his face while looking at the three tribe leaders. "Come forward young ones," every tribe leader called their participant. The participants from the fire crow tribe and ice sparrow tribe quickly came forward. The participant from the fire tribe, Raweth, who looked like a young man, had enormous ck crow wings behind his back. There were some markings in red on his wings that indicated that the bloodline has more than 50 percent of the purity. From the Ice sparrow tribe, a white-colored sparrow with very faint ck lines on it. Everyone looked at the Ice sparrow and shook their head. "What a pity, Once the mighty Netherworld Ice sparrow tribe,, now degraded to such a state where they are sending an unevolved member to thethree trube contest," an elder from the fire crow mocked the ice sparrow tribe, acting sympathetic towards them Since it was not an evolved ice sparrow, it has a very few chances to win the contest. It is the three tribe contest rules to send their tribe member below the age of 20 years with the highest bloodline. So the ice sparrow tribe has no way other than sending the unevolved ice sparrow, as it was the only one who has the highest bloodline in their tribe under the age of 20. ************ Chapter 129: First round begins

129 First round begins

Next, everyone looked at the lightning hawk tribe to check their participant who didn''te forward along with other participants. In the hawk tribe group, they only saw six hawk tribe members and an unevolved lightning hawk. Aside from the five elders of the hawk, whom they already know, only two members, one evolved and another unevolved, can be the participants. Hawk tribe leader Qwerek looked at the Snow who didn''te forward when called and looked at Ajax as though he was asking him to send the Snow ahead. Ajax understood the meaning behind the Qwerek''s look and lightly pushed it and said it to go forward. All the onlookers from the other tribes were shocked at first next startedughing at Snow. "Look, not only ice sparrow tribe but the great lightning dragon hawk tribe is also degraded very much that they are also sending an unevolved member of their tribe," the same member from the Fire crow tribe, who mocked the ice sparrow tribe earlier, mocked the Hawk tribe. "Hey, Krail, did you see, the one who almost lost his life in the hands of an unevolved spirit beast is saying something about unevolved beasts," Kraiww mocked the one from the fire tribe who was disrespectful to their Hawk tribe. He said the most embarrassing moment of that fire crow tribe member to Krail, loudly. "Hahahaha," all the members except for the fire crow members who managed to hold theirughs,ughed loudly. "Kraiww, just you wait until the contest is over, I will finish all our old scores once and for all," triggered by the reverse mock, the elder from the fire crow tribe warned Kraiww in a serious tone. "Bring it on, I am waiting," Kraiww didn''t care about him after saying his words. "Let''s see, who wins, whether the fire crow?or a Lightning hawk," suddenly, the fire crow tribe leader Krico said, looking at Qwerek. Qwerek didn''t reply anything to Krico''s words. He just looked at the three participants who stood in a row side by side in front of the coffin. "Intresting, there is a fine participant this time" The silent older birdman in the coffin praised one of the participants, but no one knew who he praised. His words caused a shock in all the onlookers'' hearts because, for thest 30-40 years, the older birdman didn''t praise any of the participants. But now, one of the participants has caught the attention and praise from him, which made them excited, but at the same time, a hint of worry was also raised in their hearts. They worried because if the one caught the older man''s attention, his tribe would rise above others and rule them in the future. After praising them, he chanted something at a speed where the onlookers can not evenprehend his mouth''s movements. Soon an abnormal light came from the coffin where he stood and entered into the three participants before separating into three equal parts. "All the participants have enough bloodline purity to participate in the trial (three tribe contest)" after the abnormal light entered into their bodies, the older birdman nodded his head. Hearing this, all the tribe leaders heaved a sigh of relief. Sometimes, even though a participant had a high bloodline purity, they will be rejected and not allowed to participate in the trial. It has happened very recently to the fire crow tribe, who were directly ced in the third position, and the first and second ces were taken by the Lightning Hawk tribe and the Ice sparrow tribe making the fire tribe leader crazy for the past ten years. This time, he trained Raweth, the participant from the fire tribe, with his utmost attention and used all his and the tribe''s savings, which were very low due to their small ruling region in training Raweth. Due to this reason, the other two tribe leaders were very fearful of him, as he will take revenge on them for fire crow''s disqualification in thest three-tribe contest. "Now, we will start the trial" the older birdman waved his hand at the coffins in the distance, which were soon opened, and simr-looking older birdmen stood up from it. All the older birdmen were the same without any difference in their tattered clothes or the aged body. "Every participant should select one of them and fight them with all your strength," the older birdman in front of them ordered Snow and other participants. "Depending on the might you disyed you will get some points and the participant with the highest number of points can get a reward from yours truly," at the end of his sentence, the older birdman pointed to himself as he looked at the three participants with an eerie smile on his aged face. Without wasting any time, Raweth, from the fire crow tribe, rushed forward and selected the middle coffin and started his first round of the trial. Seeing this, Snow and the ice sparrow also joined the first round by selecting the older birdmen from the left and right coffins, respectively. Although Snow and the ice sparrow were unevolved, they know what they should do, as the respective tribe leaders exined them beforeing to the Ancient grounds. Among the three participants, Raweth directly used his powerful attacks without wasting any time. After he evolved from the fire crow, he re-cultivated for only six months before reaching the Elitemander realm strength, which was equivalent to his previous cultivation that was at rank 4 before evolving. It will take some time for the unevolved spirit beasts to gain their old strength. During that time, they were required to use many valuable cultivation resources. More cultivation resources an evolved being uses, the quicker they reach their old cultivation. Even if they don''t use any cultivation, they can regain their cultivation, as time passes, albeit it will take a long time. "Come on Snow, you can do it?" Ajax kept his eyes on Snow, who was about to fight the older birdmen from the left coffin. ************ Chapter 130: The Anger of the Fire Crow

130 ''The Anger of the Fire Crow''

"Come on Snow, you can do it?" Ajax kept his eyes on Snow, who was about to fight the older birdmen from the left coffin. Like Raweth, Snow didn''t start with its most vigorous attack or its basic attack but used Lightning w, a signature attack for the Lightning Hawk tribe continuously without giving any chance to the clone of the older birdman. Among the three participants, only Ice sparrow was having a tough time managing the older birdman''s clone. Although it was having a tough time, it was not showing any fear and continuously attacked. "I will be having the most points in this round," suddenly, Raweth used an even more powerful attack than before, which turned his humanoid body into a fire crow, which looked bigger than 30 meters with mes all over its body. "See, that is the power of the fire crow tribe member, Hahahhaha," the fire crow elder who was reversed mocked by the Kraiww earlier, pointed his finger at Raweth andughed loudly. Everyone did not reply to anything as they were all shocked at the fire tribe participant''s innate attack. "Hehehe," the fire crow tribe leaderughed with a pleased expression on his face. But the same can''t be said for other tribes though, as they were shocked to see a young man who was less than 20 years olds was managed to learn the three-legged fire crow''s mid-level innate ability. Innate abilities are ssified into low, mid, high, and Ultimate levels. With low-level innate ability was the easiest to awaken, and Ultimate was the hardest one to evolve. Most tribe members could only reach mid-level in their whole life; even that takes around 50 years to awaken that. However, Raweth, from the fire crow tribe, managed to awaken the mid-level innate ability of his tribe ''The Anger of a Fire Crow'' within 20 years. He could also awaken the high-level innate ability and has a small chance of awakening the Ultimate level of innate ability in his life. The Raweth, who was now in the form of an enormous crow, threw a fireball for his huge beak at the older birdman. Even though it was minimal at its beak, when it went to the older birdman, the fireball was way more significant than it looked when it was just formed, which made him unable to escape and was hit by the fireball before turning in to the ashes. "What the heck!" Ajax lightly eximed when he saw that colossal fireball turning the older birdman''s clones into ashes upon touching him. After transforming into the huge fire crow, the fight was finished with a single attack causing Ajax to broaden his horizons. Ajax thought that he could escape the fireball easily with his speed when the fireball was just formed. Still, he never imagined in his wildest dreams that the fireball could increase its size while travelling the distance between the huge fire crow and the older birdman. "I should be stronger," when he saw that a birdman (Raweth) who was only at an early elitemander realm could use an extremely strong attack, his motivation to be stronger increased even more. When Snow saw its fellow participant finished the battle in a single attack, the battle intent in its eyes rose and prepared to use it thunderstorm skill, but stopped when it remembered the Ajax''s words when they were at the Hawk tribe leader''s house. ''Don''t use ''Thunderstorm'' unless you were in a danger,'' these are the words said by the Ajax to it beforeing to the Ancient ground. It only used its low-level innate ability, ''The lightning speed'' and the ''lighting w'' in a perfectbination, which made it praised by others, only in low whispers but not let their praises hear by others. "The fighting style of this participant is unique and it looks like as it was born to fight and survived many cruel battles until now," the original older birdman from the first coffin praised the Snow once again after seeing its fighting styles and the coordination between its attacks which were in perfect synchronization. His praising words caused the onlookers to think that Snow was the one who caught his attention, and enviously looked at the Hawk tribe''s group. As for the Hawk tribe members, they were smiling continuously from ear to ear. "I wonder what it went through before meeting me" Ajax, who was in that group, thought back to the injured Snow, which he met on the Stairs in the inheritance ground with a body full of wounds. Thinking back to the time he met Snow and managed to gain its trust, whichter increased and form a contract with him, he smilingly shook his head. After using its attacks in coordination for a few times, the older birdman''s clone was destroyed. Only ice sparrow was still battling the clone, and seeing that it was unable to defeat the clone of the older birdman with its peakmander realm strength, it finally used its low-level innate ability ''Nether frost''. As soon as it used the Nether frost, the clone was covered in the Ice that was different from the regr ice with some ckish energy surrounding the ice. After theher ice covered the clone, the ice sparrow used its fastest speed and drilled from the block of ice using its sharp beak, breaking the ice statue into pieces. All the onlookers shook their heads when they saw that the ice sparrow finally defeated the clone with much difficulty. "Kira must be nning something," However, Qwerek, who was known for his intelligence, raised his brows when he saw the fight between the ice sparrow and the older birdman''s clone. He thought for a moment. However, he was unable to find out what she was nning. "Maybe I am overthinking," Qwerek shook his head and looked at the three participants standing in front of the first coffin and looking at the Older birdman as what will happen next. ************ Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 131: Conspiracy

131 Conspiracy

"Now, it''s time for the results of the first round, hehehehe" with his eerie smile, the older birdman standing in the coffin looked at the three participants and said, which gave them a scare. However, they managed to suppress the fear and stood in their position, motionless. "Although ice sparrow took a very long time to finish the battle, it finished the fight with a colourful look to the battlefield. Points awarded are 80/100." "Next, the one from the lightning hawk tribe. Although it used only a low-level that coordinate so well with its fighting style which made me quite satisfied with its performance, So I reward it with 96 points." "The young one from the fire crow tribe used his mid-level innate ability and finished the attack within a single attack, which made me unable to see his fighting system. Still, since he finished the attacked with his full might, I reward him 93 points for a total of 100 points for the first round," the older birdman exined quite a bit before announcing every participant''s results. All the fire tribe members'' faces turned ugly as they thought Raweth form their tribe would be the first since he used a single attack to kill his opponent. But who would dare to ask the older birdman to give them the first ce, even when their tribe leader was polluted bowing to that being. "Hurray," the lightning hawk tribe members shouted with happiness, but when their tribe leader red them, they closed their mouths and whispered among themselves happily. The Older birdman for the coffin shook his head, seeing the hawk tribe members'' excitement and didn''t pay them any heed, and looking at the participants in front of him, and he said, "The one from the lightning hawk tribee forward." Snow slowly came forward from the row of the participant and stopped just before the coffin. "Since, you are the winner of this round, as I said, I will give you a reward," the older birdman said to Snow before chanting something. After chanting, he opened his eyes, and out of thin air, he took out a tiny crystal which was only the size of a sand participle and threw it at the Snow. Before it could understand what was happening, the small crystal of the sand particle''s size entered into its sharp beak. ''Ding, Your contracted spirit beast, The Lightning Dragon Hawk, caught the Ancient birdman''s eye and was rewarded with a small particle of the crushed Essence gem of a King realm Spirit beast, The Lightning dragon. ''Ding, Do you wish to let it consume the particle or wait? "What? It is an essence gem of the King realm Spirt beast?" Ajax was shocked at the name of the small particle, which was rewarded by the older birdman. He was confused by the second system notification and asked the system, "Didn''t it consume the essence gem particle already?" ''Ding, As soon as the essence gem particle entered its body, the system stopped the consuming process. "Huh?" Ajax stopped asking the system any questions and looked at the older birdman gazing at the Snow, as though he found something and expecting something from the Snow. "This looks suspicious, that look does not seem good" finally, Ajax understood something. There was something off about the older birdman form the coffin, and from the beginning, he was looking at the participants as though he was expecting something from then. "There seems to be a lot more behind this so-called three tribe contest and the danger rating on the mission is very high, must be rted to that older birdman," Ajax thought back to the danger rating of the mission for this three tribe contest and concluded that the danger must be from this Older man instead of the fire crow tribe. ''Ding, Do you wish to let it consume the particle or wait? The system notification came once again, asking him to decide what he wants to select. "Wait," without any hesitation, he chose to wait, as he didn''t have a clear idea behind the gaze of that older birdman. When he thought about the contest, he got a new question in his head and started to analyze the mysterious disappearance of the previous participant of the hawk tribe. "Kraiww, what happened the previous participants of the other tribes?", Ajax slowly asked the Kraiww, who was standing behind him. "Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden, Sir Ajax?" Kraiww puzzled at Ajax''s question, which seemed toe out of nowhere. Still, he replied when he saw the seriousness on Ajax''s face, "After the previous trial ended, all participants received some rewards from the older birdman and their cultivation increased by a lot and almost reached the peak of the general realm within a single day." "Huh? But didn''t you say, that your participant has mysteriously died?" Ajax asked the question in a whisper which only Kraiww could hear. "Yes, they are also disappeared actually, butter concluded as dead by the tribe leaders." Kraiww''s words made him finally conclude that it has something to do with the older birdman. "Why did they conclude the disappeared participants as dead?" Ajax asked Kraiww. Kraiww just shook his head as he didn''t know why. Ajax also did not pester Kraiww with any new questions and watched the older birdman''s expression. The older birdman who watched the SNow with an excited expression became puzzled after some time, seeing that there was no reaction in the Snow. ''What happened, why is this hawk not showing any reaction to the same attributed essence gem,'' he puzzled and slowly took out another small crystal which was the same size as the previous one and made it enter the body of the Snow. ''Ding, Do you wish to let it consume the particle or wait? As soon as the essence gem particle entered into its body, Ajax got a system notification asking him about his decision just like before. ************ Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 132: Final Round

132 Final Round

"Wait," just like before, Ajax opted to wait. The older man was shocked at the no reaction from the Snow. ''What is happening with this hawk. Even a rank 5 beast will gain an increment in its strength as long as it consumed a single piece of the Spirit beast king''s essence gem. But why is this, spirt beast can''t even increase its strength even after consuming two particles of the essence gem.'' The older man muttered for a second and continued, "I will have it consume one more practice of the essence gem if it doesn''t get any increment, then this is the worst Spirit beast I have ever seen," the older birdman thought in his head. He repeated the same process for the second time. ''Ding, Do you wish to let it consume the particle or wait? "Wait," silently, Ajax said in his mind. ''My essence gem,'' Ajax also repeated the same thing which made the older birdman cry for his loss. A spirit beast king''s essence gem was not an easy thing to get, even for him. So when he saw there was not even a bit of reaction, the older birdman cried and cursed Snow inward. All onlookers were puzzled at the reward that entered into the Snow''s body, and there was no reaction n thetter''s body. "Now, let''s conclude the trial with apetition between the participants," the older birdman lost all his previous interest when he saw no reaction in his favorite participant when he used the spirit beast king''s essence gem. All the members once again puzzled at the words of the older birdman. Every time, there were used to be three rounds with a reward in each round. However, this time, they directly skipped the second round and directly entered the final round, making him puzzled as they didn''t t\\know the reason behind it. "I know why everyone wee looking at me like that, I actually gained a bit of understanding of each participant''s battle strength in the first round, so there is no need for me to analyze anymore. With the final round, I will decide the winner of the trail and impart the inheritance to the first winner of his particr tribe" Seeing the look on all the bird folk, the older birdman exined them. "What? The only first winner can get the inheritance?" All the members of the Fire crow tribe and the lightning hawk tribe cried slowly. As per the previous contests, the first and second positioned participants can get an inheritance of 100 percent and 50 percent of their particr tribe. Now, he changed it to the only first participant among the three could get the full inheritance of his particr tribe. However, no one questioned the older birdman as no one has guts to face an ancient monster like him. "Huh?" but Ajax understood something more from the words of the older birdman. "So, in the previous contest, he was testing the participants with the highest reaction with the Spirit beast king''s essence gem, but why is he doing that? " although he got some understanding he didn''t get the actual reason behind it yet. "Also, why is the tribe leader of Ice sparrow looking more coldly at the Snow than the fire crow tribe leader?" Ajax puzzled at the behavior of the Kire, the ice sparrow tribe leader. "All the participants, enter into this," the older birdman pointed to the portal, which appeared beside the coffin precisely at the same time as he said. All the participants looked at their tribe leaders except for Snow, who looked at Ajax. The two tribe leaders nodded their heads at their participants, allowing them to enter the portal. As for Ajax, he hesitated to allow Snow to enter the portal as the hawk tribe leader didn''t mention this part of the contest. But after thinking for a moment, he motioned his hand to enter. The older birdman noticed this small movement and looked at the Ajax, who was in a humanoid lightning hawk form (In the older birdman''s view). ''There is some kind of treasure on him that makes me unable to clearly inspect him,'' the older birdman thought to himself when he looked at Ajax. But the older birdman didn''t pay any heed to him for now, as the main event was about to start. So, he looked at the participants, who were slowly entering into the portal. After everyone entered the portal, the older birdman closed the entrance to the portal, and arge mirror appeared in the air. In the mirror, all the tribe members saw the three participants in a vastnd with only grass and no trees. "Now, survive for 10 hours in thatnd."The older birdman who stood in the coffin spoke at the tribe leaders, but the participants heard those words as they nodded their heads as soon as the older birdman finished his words. "The winner will be selected depending on the number of enemies a participant can kill, Now the final round begins," the older birdman concluded all his announcements and watched the final round. As soon as said that, the grassy ground below the participants'' legs vanished suddenly, and many vulture-like spirit beasts flew at them from a distance. Since there was nond, all the participants started flying in the air and started fighting the Vulture like spirit beasts. "Kraiww, what are those flying spirit beasts?" Ajax didn''t see them before in the Zrochester province, so he asked Kraiw about those vultures like flying spirit beasts. "They are called demonic winged Vultures, they have zero intelligence which made those beasts unevolved and remained as the spirit beasts forever but they are very cruel, so we started calling them the demonic winged vultures," Kraiww exined Ajax about the flying spirit beasts. Ajax nodded his head and watched the battle between the participants and the demonic winged vultures. Like before, Raweth didn''t use his ultimate skill from the beginning; instead, he used his ordinary skills and killed the Vultures. Snow and Ice sparrow also started killing the Vultures without wasting any time. ************ Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 133: Firmament Battlefield

133 Firmament Battlefield

In the open air,?a huge fireball hit a group of demonic winged vultures, which reduced them into ashes. After the explosion, a huge fire crow turned its attention to another bunch of demonic winged vultures without wasting any time to rest. At another side of the blue sky, a Lightning Dragon Hawk used it''s Lightning w while flying at an insane speed. Just with its speed alone, it managed to kill 2 to 3 demonic winged vultures with a light touch of its w and adding to the lightning imbued on the w, electrified the vultures and made them fall from the sky. A small distance away from the Lightning Dragon Hawk, an Ice sparrow which was somewhat slowpared to the Lightning Hawk''s speed, continuously froze its opponents in ice statues, making them fall from the sky in a ravine filled with death energy. Those three were none other than the participants form the three tribe contest. The huge fire crow was none other than Raweth from the fire crow tribe. Raweth transformed into a huge fire crow after fighting for more than 2 hours with his ordinary skills. However, he was not satisfied with his killing, when he saw others who were killing almost the same number of enemies just like him. Since he wanted to kill more demonic winged vultures, he didn''t bother to hold his strongest any longer and used his mid-level innate ability, called ''The Anger of the Fire crow,'' and turned into a colossal fire crow. Even a normal attack from it would kill a?minimum of 8-10 opponents and maintained with that flow. Although no one knew how much longer he could stay in that form, he still didn''t look tired. Whenpared to Raweth, Snow and the ice sparrow rxed and slowly took their time to kill. Although they were killing in a rxed manner, they killed 4-6 demonic winged vultures per each attack. Snow and ice sparrow mostly paralyzed their enemies and made them fall from the sky into a seeming ravine that they could not see how depth it was. Within a few minutes, they killed all the remaining vultures, which were rank 3 or below. Just when they were about to heave a sigh of relief, three demonic winged Vultures came out of nowhere and attacked them separately. ¡­.. Outside the portal, Ajax, observed the fight of the participants with others, in therge mirror hung in the air. When Snow killed its first enemy, he didn''t get any notifications from the system, which confused him. So, he asked the system as soon as he didn''t get the system notification, "System, why I am not getting any essence of nature from the Killing made by the System." ''Ding, Some barrier obstructs the essence of nature from the demonic winged vulture''s body, so the host was unable to get any essence from the killings made by your contracted spirit beast. Ajax shocked when he saw the system notification and started to worry about Snow. But to his surprise, the tribe leader of the Lightning Hawks said, "Don''t worry, when a participant was about to die, he or she will be transported out of the Firmament battlefield." Only when he heard this, he stopped worrying and watched the fight with interest. The reason he was worried was, many Demonic winged vultures were continuously swarming the three participants, and he thought they would be exhausted killing them. When they were exhausted, they will be killed by the swarming vultures. However, after hearing the words of Qwerek, Ajax watched the fight in the Firmament battlefield. The area where the participants were fighting was called the Firmament battlefield, which has no ground and only a ravine filled with the death energy. Anyone who falls into the ravine would have their body eroded by the death energy. Unless one has apatibility with the death or dark attribute, it was impossible to survive. After watching the fight for nearly two hours, he was shocked by the battle prowess of Snow. "How the hell did Snow improve that much?" Ajaxstly saw Snow fighting the rank 3 ghost-eyed ck foxes. However, when hepared the battle prowess now and then, he waspletely shocked. "Only, 2 percent increment in its bloodline purity improved its battle prowess by this much, what will happen, when the bloodline purity reaches the 100 percent?" Ajax was immersed in his thoughts about bloodline purity. "Whatever, let''s worry about that in the future," shaking his head, he continued watching therge mirror in the sky. As soon as he saw, he was shocked by the scene in the mirror. A rank 4 demonic winged vulture, which was slightly bigger and looked even more demonic than the rank 2 and rank 3 vulture, moved like lightning and tore theherworld ice sparrow into pieces. The ice sparrow, which was shredded into pieces, turned into small pecks of light and appeared in front of the older birdman who was still stood in his coffin. "What?" All the onlookers, including tribe leaders, were shocked at the speed of the demonic winged vulture, killing the ice sparrow. "It''s not a normal rank 4 demonic winged vulture, it''s a mutated one," seeing their reaction, the older birdman exined all the onlookers in his eerie voice. When everyone heard his words, they understood why the rank 4 demonic winged vulture has a speed of rank 5 spirit beast. "Isn''t that is difficult for the participants to kill that thing?" All the onlookers from the three tribes whispered among themselves, but no one dared to question the older birdman. The reason why all of them were shocked as this was the first time they saw this kind of difficulty in the final round. Although it has the rank 4 strength, the mutants were always the kings among the particr rank. "It''s impossible for even Raweth," the fire tribe leader, Krico muttered to himself, but he was not disappointed but ted at the appearance of the rank mutated demonic winged vulture. "With the strength of level 1 elitemander realm strength, Raweth has the highest probability of escaping the attacks of that spirit beast and even if doesn''t kill it, as long as he managed to dodge its attacks and stay in the Firmament battlefield, he will be ced in the first position and can get a full inheritance, hehehe" Krico,ughed in his heart. ************ Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 134: End of the Final round

134 End of the Final round

In the Firmament battlefield, After killing the ice sparrow, the mutated rank 4 demonic winged vulture, set its target on the Raweth, who was busy fighting a regr rank 4 demonic winged vulture. The vulture in front of the Raweth, who was currently in the form of a huge fire crow, was in a stalemate. But, when he saw that the mutated vulture wasing towards him, he slowed his attacks with the normal rank 4 vulture and made the iing vulture think he was on the losing side. The mutated rank 4 vulture, instantly lost its interest in Raweth and gazed at Snow, who has low cultivation strength but has the upper hand with its opponent piquing its interest. When Raweth saw that, heughed coldly and heaved a sigh of relief. "As long as I remain longer than others I can get the inheritance which will increase by cultivation," Raweth, in his huge fire crow form, thought in his head and defended the iing attacks from his opponent. "Damn it, why did it turn towards Snow all of a sudden," Ajax, who was observing the fight in the Firmament battlefield, cursed the mutated vulture as he didn''t notice the trick made by the Raweth. "It''s all because of Raweth, who made that mutated spirit beast think, he was weak and turned it''s attention to Snow," when he heard the low cursing of Ajax, Kraiww said with a bitter sigh. ''I think it''s better to lose then. Instead of winning and again increasing its interest in the eyes of that old birdman'', Ajax silently thought to himself. But all his expectations were turned upside down by Snow. As soon as the mutated rank 4 spirit beast came near it, Snow activated its ultimate skill, ''The thunderstorm.'' ''Why is it using that skill now?'' Ajax was shocked and, at the same time, helpless and unable to contact it due to a barrier that was obstructing the essence of nature from the dead spirit beasts and obstructing it mindmunication with the Snow. After one formed a contract with a spirit beast or an elemental spirit, they couldmunicate without being noticed by others. However, they should be within a specific radius of the master. As soon as Snow used the thunderstorm attack, it instantly sucked the normal rank 4 vulture and mutated rank 4 vulture into the huge tornado, which was filled with bolts of lightning and thunders. "What?" "An innate ability?" All the people from three tribes were shocked to see a member of the Lightning dragon hawk use an innate ability, which looked more powerful than the innate ability of the Raweth. Although they could not see what was happening inside the storm, seeing the shes of lightning and thunders in that storm, they thought, ''It''s a yground for the lightning dragon hawk.'' "Hahahahaha," the older birdman in the coffinughed loudly, causing all the onlookers to turn their faces to him. "It''s not a normal innate ability, it is a signature skill of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s," the older birdman paused for a second before continuing, "It''s a high-level innate ability with a potential to reach the next level." His words caused shock among the onlookers because every gaze at the Snow on therge mirror was moving in and out of the storm with envy and jealousy. The thunderstorm skill was a long lost innate ability, which did not even have any idea to the tribe leader Qwerek, so when he heard the older birdman''s words, his eyes shone brightly and thanked heavens for guiding this Lightning dragon Hawk to their tribe. As everyone was shocked, Ajax observed the number of injuries increased every time it came out of the storm, which caused his heartache with pain. Amidst everyone''s shocked gazes, the thunderstorm disappeared slowly, and the jet ck bloodpletely covered the two demonic winged vultures, which werepletely electrified and their bodies. As soon as the storm disappeared, both the vultures fell into the ravine filled with teh death energy. Whereas Snow, it was flying up and down, barely maintaining its flight. Raweth was shocked by the series of events that happened in the distance. He was awed by the Snow''s battle''s performance, which onlysted for a few minutes but left a deep impression on him. Seeing Snow, his battle spirit increased and quickly used his other skill, which he stored for finishing the trial. "Even if I have no chance of getting first ce in the contest, I have to show?my best attack to others," as soon as he said that his huge fire crow form started bing smaller until it reached a regr fire crow size that was around 2 meters in height. After his second transformation, it''s speed increased by a lot and killed the regr rank 4 demonic winged vulture in a few attacks, but each time it wed the vulture deeper and deeper at an amazing speed. Even though the speed was notparable to Snow, when it used thunderstorm, but it can reach almost the same speed as that of the mutated demonic vulture. "I would have fought with that mutated vulture, but I don''t know what skills it has in its arsenal" After finishing the killing strike, Raweth who was in the form of normal fire crow thought to himself and continued sighed, "I had the chance but due to ying safe, I failed." He wanted to win the first ce, but when he saw the mutated rank 4 demonic winged vulture and a hint of worry raised in his heart, he made him y safe and acted like a weakling in front of the mutated vulture which caused him to lose the first position. Not only Raweth but all the spirit beasts and evolved spirit beasts respect the strong and revere them. All the onlookers were shocked by thest move of the Raweth, but they were still in awe with the Lightning Dragon Hawk''s Thunderstorm. Among all the onlookers who watched the Firmament battlefield, the older birdman was the most shocked by the Snow''s Thunderstorm, whichpletely dominated the fight one side, and even the Raweth''stest movecks inparison. "Finally, I have a chance now, hehehehe," ************ Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 135: Inheritance Time

135 Inheritance Time

''Finally, I have a chance now, hehehehe'', the older birdman chuckled himself as he watched the Snow, which was barely maintaining its flying. ''What is he muttering?'' He kept on muttering some words in his mouth, which were noticed by tribe leader Qwerek. ''He is behaving just likest time but he was very excited than thest time,'' Qwerek noticed the older birdman behaving like this in the previous contest which caused some doubts in the Qwerek''s heart. ''Is the death of the previous contestants have anything to do with the Ancestor?'' This thought made him anxious with the mix of both worry and anger. Previous participants were mysteriously disappeared andter found dead by them in the various locations at different timings with their bodiespletely mutted. After examining the mutted corpses, they concluded separately, that they were killed by some rank 6 spirit beasts which wereter killed by them. Even though they avenged the dead, they still felt something amiss. While he was rting the deaths of the dead contestants, the fire crow tribe leader Krico, looked at the Snow with anger. ''Damn it, what did you do Raweth. How can this unevolved beast take your glory?'' Krico was very much angered at the attention Snow was getting. He was very confident in the abilities Raweth. ''He awakened two mid-level innate abilities and has the chance of the awakening a higher level innate ability in the future. If he gets the full inheritance of our three-legged fire crow, his cultivation would have rised above others easily. Damn it,'' His high hopes of Raweth getting the full inheritance were all gone and continued to thinking, ''I had to do something to this damn unevolved beast.'' ''How can this old bastard Qwerek managed to raise that Lightning Hawk,'' Ice sparrow tribe leader, Kira looked at the Qwerek with envy, but there was no ill intention in her gaze. And when she looked at the ice sparrow of her tribe, she was disappointed and shook her head before focusing on the huge mirror that hung in the sky. "Congrattion for the Hawk tribe leader for raising such fine talent," when everyone was in their thoughts, the older birdman congratted Qwerek for raising Snow. "It''s all a luck that I managed to raise her," Qwerek nonchntly said and continued thinking for a concrete clue that links between the dead contestants and the older birdman. Seeing the shamelessness of Qwerek, Ajax was at a loss. Ajax was the one, who used the primitive stone to awaken that high-level innate ability but that now all the credit was given to Qwerek who acted as if he was the one who raised it. But, Ajax didn''t care about those silly things and worried about what would happen next. "The trial is now finished, The Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe gets a full inheritance and fire crow tribe gets an iplete inheritance." "As for the regional distribution, just share it as usual among your three tribes," the older birdman announced the results, bringing the two participants back from the firmament battlefield with a swing of his hand. When the Lightning Hawk tribe members heard the announcement they were ted, as for the fire crow members except for their tribe leader, everyone was happy with the iplete inheritance. Netherworld ice sparrow tribe members were the only ones who were depressed and shook their heads while angrily looked at their participants. Seeing the angry looks of their tribe members, the unevolved ice sparrow looked sadly at her tribe leader who was also her half-master. Kira didn''t bother looking at her, which caused the unevolved ice sparrow even more depressed. Suddenly she felt lost and slowly left from the ancient ruins with sorrow. No one came forward to at least console her and stopped bothering with her and looked at the older birdman who was about to speak something. "The young one from the Fire crow,e forward to receive your reward," the older birdman looked at Raweth and asked him toe forward to receive his reward which was an iplete inheritance. "Close your eyes and if you feel any pain, then endure it," as soon as Raweth came forward, the older birdman said a few words before chanting something. Amidst his chanting, an orange coloured wisp came out of the coffin before entering into Raweth''s body. But to everyone''s surprise, they didn''t hear any pained noises from Raweth. "Now Lightning Dragon Hawk it''s your turn," after taking his iplete inheritance, Raweth returned to their tribe members who congratted him with an excited tone. The fire crow tribe leader just gave a small smile and looked at Snow who was about to receive the full inheritance from the older birdman. "Although I don''t know what is wrong with you earlier, I hope your strength increases after youpletely absorb the inheritance I am giving you now," the older birdman slowly said to Snow, before continuing, "I am giving you theplete inheritance of the Lighting Dragon Hawk Emperor who asked me to give it to the most suitable candidate from his tribe before he left this world." As he exined, a white and purple coloured energy orb came out of the coffin and entered into Snow''s body. Unlike Raweth, Snow, who was visibly tired fell unconscious shocking Ajax who ran tot eh unconscious Snow, without paying any attention to others. Only after seeing that, it was only unconscious and not in any harm, did he feel rxed and looked at the older birdman who was looking at him with a surprise. ''What is wrong with this participant and this evolved lightning hawk,'' as he was unable to gauge the exact strength of Ajax who was in the Lightning Hawk evolved form, he was surprised. "It''s just unconscious, you can take it back to your tribe and let it slowly absorb the inheritance," the older birdman said in an eerie voice which caused Ajax to get goosebumps just from hearing the words. "Thanks, Ancestor for the inheritance, we will take our leave now," Qwerek hurriedly came forward to cover Ajax from discovering that Ajax was a human and taking them, he left the ancient ruins with his tribe members.

136 Dangerous Mission 2

Simrly, all the other two tribes left the ancient ruins and went back to their respective tribes. As for the regional distribution, they left it for another day to discuss. "Finally, I can leave this damned prison, Hahahahaha," After everyone left the ancient ruins, the older birdmanughed loudly. "Just you wait, damn sons of bitches, once I leave this ce, I will take revenge for prisoning me here for thest 1000 years," the old wrinkled face turned cruel as he said those words of taking revenge. ... Qwerek and his tribe members were flying back to their tribe in an excited expression, exce[t for Qwerek and Ajax. The reason Qwerek was not excited as others were; he finally got a link that was connecting the mysterious deaths behind the three tribe contest''s participants. Just like thest time, their tribe''s participant fell unconscious after receiving the inheritance. When hepletely absorbed the inheritance, he became stronger and left out to venture in the wild only to be a mutted body. When he found a small piece of tattered cloth in the body of his tribe''s contestant, he didn''t remember where did he saw that cloth, until today when he saw the same kind of cloth on the body of the older birdman which took him some time to connect it back to the small piece of cloth he found back then. As for the reason why Ajax looked worried was that he got some system notifications as soon as they left the Ancient ruins. ''Ding, Mission name:- Help the Lightning dragon hawk tribe ispleted. Reward:- Upgrading the Inner world along with the chance of turning a piece ofnd into an elemental paradise. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade it? "Yes", when he saw the first notifications, he thought all his previous worry was in vain. Still, he heaved a sigh of relief as hepleted the dangerous mission. ''Ding, The host has to choose an element, to turn a piece ofnd in the Inner world into a Paradisend of that element. "Which element should I turn into?" Ajax thought seriously about the element. As he already had dark elemental paradise in the Inner World and he could use the thunderpool''s water to turn another piece ofnd in the future, he thought about the element he mostly wanted now. But before he could think of an element for his paradisend in the inner world, he got a system notification. ''Ding, A new mission has generated in the quest tab. Please check it. His initial happiness turned in to worry after seeing the new mission in the Quest tab. ''Ding, Mission name:- Escape from the Older Birdman Description:- 1) The older birdman from the ancient ruins had ced a temporary spiritual mark on the body of your contracted spirit beast, Snow. He has some ill-intentions towards Snow. You have to protect your contracted spirit beast by any means. 2) The present host is nowhere as strong as the older birdman. After three days, he wille looking for your contracted spirit beast. So, escape from him within three days. Main aim:- Survive the remaining time the host has left in this world. (In his ten days stay in the Five elemental world). Reward:- A new system feature. Danger rating:- A+ Mission failure:- Death in the hands of the older birdman. After reading the full description of the generated mission, Ajax worry increased manifolds than before. "Why is that old thing so obsessed with Snow? Is it because of the High-level innate ability?" Ajax racked his brains and was unable to find a solid reason, but he was sure about one thing, it was a severe problem for him and Snow. ''I have to keep calm and n the escape with a clear head,'' although, it was a serious problem, he has to think for a solution for it. So, he started his analysis. ''System, can I leave this world now?'' Ajax asked the system about his return. Although he could guess, the system would say no, he tried to ask it anyway. ''Ding, No, the host has to stay for four more days in this world. ''Ding, Also, a mission rted to this, five elemental world has been issued to the host. So, please survive four more days. ''I already know, you will say something like this,'' Ajax shook his head and calcted the remaining time for his escape. ''It is only sixth day since I entered the five elemental world and in need four more days I have to leave this ce (Shixtao Wilds) and should find a ce to stay for thatst one day before System can teleport me out of this ce'' Ajax thought slowly in his mind. After carefully thinking, he thought about escaping to another region but fearing the strong spirit beasts like the one he met before (Octopus-like spirit beast), he cancelled that idea and continued thinking about other options, he had. Amidst his thinking, they reached the tribe leader''s house. "Ajax, thanks to your Snow, we got the 60 percent area to rule," Kraiww thanked Ajax profusely. When he heard the words of the Kraiw, Ajax came out of his train of thoughts and nodded his head politely. "Thanks Ajax, you are the savior of the Light Hawk tribe," All the other tribe elders followed the Kraiww and thanked him sincerely. After thanking him, everyone left for their houses which were in the distance and looked more grandeur than the regr house and less majestic than the tribe leader''s house. "Ajax, take Snow into the room and rest," After everyone left, Qwerek also left to his room before leaving some words to Ajax. Ajax took Snow and entered into the room he was given earlier. "I should probably join with Volcanis and others before finding a safe ce to hide for thatst day, I hope I will seed in this mission," After closing the door, he thought about how he should escape from this ce and join his contracted elemental spirits before finding any hidden ce.

137 Level Up

"Before that, I should increase my cultivation strength," Ajax didn''t use the rewards from the ''A+'' Mission he just finished. He looked at the Snow, who was sleeping peacefully with wounds all over her body. "Sigh..," Seeing the wounds, Ajax''s heart ached and sighed. On their way back to the tribe from the ancient ruins, tribe leader Qwerek used a rank 4 healing pill. Even though it didn''t heal all its outer wounds, it stabilized it''s bleeding and restored the essence of nature in its spirit consciousness. "System, I will choose the elemental paradiseter, can you just upgrade the inner world?" he wanted to select the elemental paradise after seeing the progress of his contracted elemental spirits, so he asked the system to upgrade the inner world. ''Ding, The system feature ''Inner world'' is currently upgrading, the host will not be able to ess the inner world and need to wait until the upgrade is finished. Upgrading time remaining:- 3 Days "Three days? Sure", Ajax didn''t think three days of upgrading time was not too much as the inner world was already amazing, and after it upgrades how amazing it will be? Was the only thought in his mind. "Now, System, what is the clearance rating for the previous mission," Ajax excitedly asked the System about the previous mission which has a danger rating of ''A+''. ''Ding, The mission clearance rating is ''A.'' Ajax hoped that he would get more than one system notification, but he was shocked by the single system notification which just mentioned that his clearance rating was ''A''. "That''s it? No increment in the rating," His previous mission''s clearance rating was increased with each system notification until it reached A, but now the system gave him a single notification. "Still the ''A'' clearance rating is better than ''B'' right?" Ajax consoled himself and continued asking the system, "System increase my level now". ''Ding, The hostpleted the ''A+'' danger rating mission with a clearance rating of ''A'' and earned the chance to break through two minor realms. ''Ding, Increasing the host''s cultivation realm by two minor realms, please bear the pain during the process. "What? Two minor real..?" Before he can even finish his sentence, Ajax felt some foreign energy enter into his body. As soon as the mysterious energy entered into his body, he felt a little pain which increased steadily. He was already used to various pains, but after a few minutes, the pain reached a state where he crouched onto the ground holding his head. Just when he thought he would lose sanity and go insane with the horrible pain, the pain suddenly vanished into thin air. He rested in the same ce he crouched and breathed heavily for some air. "I didn''t expect the pain for double breakthrough will be this horrible," while resting on the ground, he muttered with his eyes closed. Although itsted for less than five minutes, he felt like many years were passed before the pain subsided. ''Ding, Body cultivation increased to level 3 of themander realm. ''Ding, Body cultivation increased to level 4 of themander realm. "Whew" hearing the two back to back system notifications, he felt good and forgot the pain from earlier. "Now is not the time to feel happy," Ajax soon turned serious and thought about the n to escape without alerting others from the Lightning Hawk tribe. "I think, I can only escape when tribe leader Qwerek is around here," He knew that he couldn''t escape from the spiritual sense of Qwerek and his first priority while escaping from the tribe was when Qwerek was not in the house. "I hope that he will leave the house soon," he hoped that the tribe leader Qwerek leaves the house soon so that he could escape from here. "System, can you notify me when Qwerek leaves the house?" Ajax didn''t have enough strength to extend his spirit (or spiritual) sense to more than 2 meters in radius around him. ''Ding, The system can''t do that, but I can notify the host when he doesn''t use his spiritual sense on you. "Hm," Ajax nodded his head and asked one more question, "System, is there any way to remove the spiritual imprint from Snow''s body". Ajax wanted to remove the spiritual imprint on Snow; the older birdman ced that in the Ancient ruins. ''Ding, The host needs to unlock a new system feature that has not met the proper requirements yet. "Damn," Ajax shook his head bitterly and went to cultivate to stabilize his newly upgraded cultivation. He slowly entered into the cultivation and meditated to relieve himself from the pressuring problems at hand and hoped to find some secure solutions for them. ''Ding, The tribe leader Qwerek''s spiritual sense is retracted back into him. Amidst his cultivation, Ajax got a system notification, which woke him up with an excited expression. "Finally, it''s time to escape from here," Ajax hurriedly stood up and retracted Snow into his spirit consciousness. As his inner world was currently in upgrading, he could not store Snow into the inner world. As for his already stored contracted spirit beasts, Destructive Twilight Dragon and the Ghost-eyed mutated ck Fox who was resting in the Dark elemental paradise were forcefully transported to his spirit consciousness. "Not bad, not bad," when he stored the Snow into his spirit consciousness, he checked the cultivation of already resting spirit beasts in his spirit consciousness. "Twilight sessfully broke through to the rank 3 whereas Ghost reached rank 4 from the peak rank 3, and their cultivations are increasing, I wonder what level they reach when they wake up," Ajax wanted the strongest spirit beast at his hand, so he was pleased with all his contracted spirit beasts which were improving at a rapid pace. Twilight was the name of the Destructive twilight dragon which he gave to the baby dragon which was not small anymore and grown quite a bit and has the size of a calf. As for the mutated ghost-eyed ck fox, he named it as Ghost, which was given after it''s ghost eyes. They were ced into the Dark elemental Paradise by Ajax to cultivate. After arranging all things, he quietly left his room and walked towards the exit of the house. Just as he was about to open his door to leave the house, Ajax felt someone standing behind him and stopped his actions to turn and see.

138 Leaving

Turning back, he saw tribe leader Qwerek who was smiling at him, which caused Ajax''s whole body shuddered. "Where are you going Ajax?" Qwerek asked Ajax, staring straight into his eyes. "I wanted to take a walk in the open Elder Qwerek," Ajax quickly controlled his fear and replied calmly. "Then is it ok if I join you?" the tribe leader asked Ajax with a small smile. "Huh? It''s just a casual walk, there is no need to apany me Elder Qwerek," Ajax replied after hesitating for a while. "Oh, if it is a casual walk, then I will apany you," Qwerek shamelessly said which made Ajax even more worried. Soon, they walked away from the tribe leader''s house. In the moonlight, a young man and an older man who looked very weak strolled until they reached a ce devoid of any houses. "Ajax, I know, you wanted to escape from here, right?", Looking at the full moon which hung in the dark sky, Qwerek asked Ajax in a low tone. Hearing Qwerek''s words made him shocked and became alert. Without wasting any time, he slowly took out the small feather of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor which could help him escape and at the same time, it could block Qwerek''s attack. "No need to take out that heaven grade artifact," even though he took that artifact slowly, his slow movement was noticed by Qwerek. "I know you have some doubts about that older birdman whom we called ancestor, but I also have my doubts which were cleared this morning at the ancient ruins," Qwerek slowly exined all the past events and his understanding of the older birdman to Ajax which made him realize about his present situation. "So, all the participants who participated in this year''s trial will die just like thest time," Ajax was shocked when he heard Qwerek''s words about the previous participants'' death. "But, why is he doing this? Isn''t he your ancestor?" Ajax raised some questions to Qwerek regarding the older birdman. "As for your second question, he was not our ancestor, he was a prisoner of our Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor, who forced him to guard us against the attacks of other races from other regions," Qwerek paused for a second before continuing, "as for your first question, even I was unable to find it." His words caused anothermotion in Ajax''s head. "I sensed he marked Snow with his spirit imprint and when Iter checked with other participants, they were simrly marked by his spirit mark and the cloth I found in the body of my tribe''s participant belongs to that older birdman," "so I am guessing he will do the same to this year''s participants also." Qwerek continued his exnation. "Elder, can''t you defeat that older birdman with thebined forces of other two tribe leaders?" Ajax asked him as he sensed that the three tribe leaders have a strength of almost King realm. "No, he is very strong. Even if we three used Heaven grade artifacts, we will not stand a chance against him," Qwerek sighed as he said these words. "Here, take these and use it to block the spirit mark of that older birdman, temporarily from him sensing the Snow," After sighing to himself, Qwerek gave Ajax some small discs which looked circr. "What are these?" Ajax asked as he never saw those things before. Although he can check with the system, he didn''t want to space out in the thin air, so he asked Qwerek about the items given by him. "They are called array discs, they can block the spirit mark of the older birdman when you ce Snow in the center of those array discs," Qwerek exined about their use and how to use those discs called array discs. "Huh?" Ajax nodded his head as he knew that Qwerek was a rank 4 array master. "Now, go away from here and use those array discs" Qwerek slowly said to Ajax to escape. "But, Elder Qwerek, will he note after you, if he finds that you allowed me to escape?" Ajax asked him without escaping. When he heard Qwerek''s words, Ajax''s heart filled with respect as he knew that the tribe leader was helping him because of Snow. Still, he was worried about the tribe leader and asked. "He can''t do anything to our three tribes due to a seal ced on him by our actual Ancestor," Qwerek slowly continued, "And the deaths of the participants must be rted to some loophole he created over the years when they entered the Firmament Battlefield." "Then I will take my leave Elder Qwerek," Saying that, he turned to leave, but Ajax suddenly remembered something and stopped. "Elder Qwerek, take this gift and use it for the tribe, also give some to Kraiww separately, for taking care of me in your house," Ajax took out ten litres of thunder pool''s water in a gourd and asked him to share with the tribe, especially with Kraiww as he was the one who took care of his needs. "Sure," Elder Qwerek thought Ajax was giving some memento and casually extended his hand to take the gourd from Ajax. As soon as he touched it, he froze for a moment before looking at Ajax with a shock andter that shock turned into excitement. "Ajax, what is this water? I sense an abundant thunder elemental essence of nature from it," Qwerek didn''t know what the water was for, but from the abundant thunder essence, he was sure of one thing. It was precious and not any precious, insanely precious. "It is the water from the Thunder realm and it is called Thunder pool''s water which contains the thunder essence," Ajax exined it slowly. "What? Is this water really from the thunder realm?" Qwerek eximed loudly with a mix of shock and excitement. "Yes Elder Qwerek," Ajax looked at the excited Qwerek and said, "For the maximum efficiency of this thunder pool''s water mix simr spirit beast essence gem in it before consuming. Now bye, Elder Qwerek," Ajax quickly darted towards the direction his spirit beasts were cultivating. ".." Qwerek wanted to stop Ajax, but he didn''t know what to say to him after stopping, so he shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "So, there is really a thunder realm". "With this, I can now have the chance to fight that old prisoner," he angrily said before returning to his house. Ajax continuously dashed to join his contracted elemental spirits who were cultivating in a three-elemental zone. In between, he used the flight ability of the Heaven grade''s artifact feather to fly with double speed for five minutes. "I hope Elder Qwerek achieves a strength to fight that older bastard form the ancient ruins." Ajax knew Qwerek was not selfish and cared about all the tribe members, so he didn''t worry, Qwerek would take all the water for himself. Even if he took, Ajax doesn''t care about it anymore. After running and flying for a whole night, he wanted to find a ce to rest for some time, before continuing his journey. Soon, he found a ce and ready to take rest. Suddenly, he found a familiar purple coloured bird fighting someone. When he moved forward, he saw clearly whom it was fighting. It was fighting her tribe members from the ice sparrow tribe. "What a piece of trash, you can''t even get a second position." "All our resources were poured into you just because you have a slightly higher bloodline in you." "If not for fire crow tribe participant directly ced in the third position in the previous contest, your mother would have also got the same position as you." "Like mother like daughter, both are a bunch of garbage." One after other evolved members from the ice sparrow tribe attacked the ice sparrow that participant in the three-tribe contest yesterday scolding it with their every attack. Seeing the pitiful sight of the poor ice sparrow, Ajax felt pity for it. Although his friends did not hurt him, he knew it was the worst thing to happen. "If it is trash, then what are you? Worse than trash," Ajax used his flight ability from the feather and flew in front of those evolved ice sparrow members. "A human?" The three evolved members from the ice sparrow tribe along with the unevolved ice sparrow behind him were shocked at the unexpected entry of a human. Ajax was not using the lightning dragon Hawk form, so they didn''t recognize him and puzzled at the appearance of a human. "A human with only level 4mander realm strength dares to say that to a level 10mander realm cultivator, Hahahaha," the one who acted as a leader mocked Ajaxparing the cultivation realms. "Hahahhaha," his twockeysughed loudly. These twockeys had the cultivation of level 8 of themander realm, which was higher than Ajax, so theyughed loudly while sneering at him. Although the ice sparrow has the strength of a high-level rank 3, it can not defeat an evolved ice sparrow which re-cultivated and reached level 10 of themander realm. Ajax already knew their strengths, and he was very confident in defeating all three of them even if they alle at him at once. When his cultivation was only level 1 of themander realm, he was able to fight with the peak mid-level spirit beasts and defeat them. Now, his cultivation strength reached level 4 of themander realm, and he had the confidence to beat level 10mander realm cultivator easily, and those twockeys were not a problem for him. "Let''s see", As soon as he said that he took out his bloodlust spear and thrust at the boss of the three evolved birdmen. The bloodlust spear which evolved from a low-level mortal to low-level earth grade artifact directly and turned, even more, bloodiest red after absorbing the blood of all the life it took from the assassin sect disciples to the recently killed ck foxes. But the sad thing was, no new skills came, which causing Ajax unhappy. Still, he was happy with the speed though. Its thrusting speed increased by a factor of two. ''Swish'' "What?" although the boss managed to dodge the piercing of the bloodlust spear, he was shocked at its speed. "An Earth grade artifact? It''s mine now," As he saw the bloodlust, his eyes were filled with greed. "If you want it, then take it," Ajax said to the boss with a hint of mock in his voice. The ice sparrow behind him looked at Ajax and didn''t understand why a human, who has no rtion with it, was saving it, and the ones with the rtionship were trying to kill it. While thinking about all the things that happened form yesterday, it suddenly lost its consciousness. Just when it was about to fall on the ground, Ajax caught it and slowly ced it on the ground. "If you leave now, I will not kill you," after cing the unconscious ice sparrow on to the ground, he turned to the three evolved ice sparrows and warned them. "We leave after kill you and that piece of shit," all three of them rushed at a time without wasting any time. As they were within a specific range, Ajax used his recently obtained skill, ''Absolute Darkness''. The rushing evolved members of the ice sparrow fell onto the ground clutching their heads and screamed in pain. "What''s happening with my eyes, I am unable to see." "Boss, help me. My eyes are not working." "Oh, great human we will leave, we will leave, please return us our sight", After screaming for some time, they pleaded Ajax to let them go. See them pleading pitifully; Ajax released the ''Absolute Darkness''. "Thanks human for your kindness, we will leave now," the boss of the evolve three thank him. Although they don''t know what magic, did he pulled, they shivered at the thought of those painful nightmares in the dark. ''Just you wait, once I found my big brother, I will return you everything you gave me with an extra'', even though, he pleaded, he thought of revenge as soon as Ajax cancelled the skill ''Absolute Darkness''. "Thank you, sir human, for showing pity on us," the other two members sincerely thanked him, unlike the boss. They were still in fear of that skill and didn''t even think of revenge. After saying their thanks, they turned to leave. ''Ding, Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 139: New Mission

139 New Mission

''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. A system notification chimed in his head as he checked the quest tab for the newly generated mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Kill the cunning birdman (Ice sparrow) Description:- Don''t leave a cunning fellow when they plead, who may cause some trouble in the future. The boss of the ice sparrow tribe''s small unit is nning something. Before he strikes you, you strike them down. Progress:- (0/1) Reward:- one free attempt in the lottery. Danger rating:- C "What?, this foolish birdman ns to kill me," Ajax shook his at the thinking of the boss of the Ice sparrow tribe''s small unit. "Swoosh swoosh." He casually released his spatial des at him with 2000 units of the essence of nature, who was still trembling from the after effect of the ''Absolute Darkness'' and was unable to dodge the iing des at him. The spatial des made holes in his body before disappearing. ''Thud'' The body of the boss fell onto the ground with a thud sound. ''Ding, The host killed a level 10mander realm cultivator. Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. Ajax didn''t bother with the notifications that came after he killed the boss. The other twockeys who were shaking with fear from the Absolute Darkness got even more scared and ran without looking back. He just shook his head at the escapingckeys and believed they would never cross paths with him ever again. ''Ding, Mission name:- Kill the cunning birdman (Ice sparrow) ispleted. Reward:- one free attempt in the lottery is added to it. He checked on the unconscious ice sparrow, which looked tired. He ced some healing pills into its mouth, which he got from the tribe leader Qwerek. After consuming the rank 4 healing pill, its wounds were stabilized and continued to rest on the ground. Ajax also looked for a ce before resting. In a sh, two hours were passed, and he woke up with a small movement in his spirit consciousness. With his eyes closed, he checked his spirit consciousness and was happy at the sight of Snow who woke up from its unconsciousness. Without any dy, he summoned Snow from his spirit consciousness. As soon as it came out, Ajax hugged it and felt happy that it finally woke up. Although worry lessened after he helped consumed it a rank 4 healing pills yesterday, still there was some worry in his heart which was finally at ease after looking at the recovered Snow. In return, Snow used its both wings to hug Ajax. ''Ding, There was mysterious energy in the host''s contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, Do you want the system to remove it from the original inheritance? "What? A mysterious energy in the inheritance?" Ajax got shocked and thought for a moment, ''I think the loophole that Elder Qwerek talked about is this mysterious energy.'' He remembered the words of the lightning hawk tribe leader about that older birdman couldn''t harm any of the tribe members, but he was able to kill the participants of these three tribes. "System, check the mysterious energy in the sleeping ice sparrow," to rify his thoughts, he asked the system to check the ice sparrow which was sleeping peacefully. ''Ding, A small portion of the same mysterious energy is present in the body of the ice sparrow. "That''s it" Ajax was excited and said to the system, "Remove that fu*king birdman''s mysterious energy from the bodies of Snow and the ice sparrow." He quickly ordered the system to remove that mysterious energy which he deemed as harmful from the bodies of Snow and the ice sparrow. ''Ding, Removing the mysterious dark energy from the bodies of the Lightning Dragon Hawk and the Netherworld Ice Sparrow. ''Ding, The system detected the mysterious energy could be used by the Dark elemental beings and also increase the Dark elemental essence of nature in the Dark elemental paradise. ''Ding, The Inner World is currently in the process of upgrading, suggesting the host to wait until it''s upgrade finishes before using it on the Dark elemental paradise to increase the concentration of the dark essence of nature. "Really?" Ajax was excited to hear that the dark elemental spirit beasts could use the mysterious energy. Moreover, he couldbine this energy with the dark elemental paradise to improve the concentration of the dark essence of nature. "I think it''s best to go for the second option, since it could be used by all the dark elemental creatures", Ajax without much thinking opted for the option ofbining it with the Dark elemental paradisend. Amidst his thoughts, the ice sparrow which was sleeping slowly stood up and looked at its surroundings and then looked at the Ajax who was in the embrace of the Snow. "..", it was confused at the appearance of the lightning dragon hawk. Furthermore, it didn''t understand why a lightning hawk tribe member would be close to a human. Even though it has so many doubts in his head, it shook its head and went towards them. When it was in front of Ajax, it bowed down as though it was thanking him for helping it earlier from the hands of its tribe members. ''Ding, A new mission generated in the quest tab. Please check for more details. "Don''t tell me, it generated a?taming mission," when a system notification came informing him about the new mission being generated, he guessed it, regarding the present situation. Every time he gets a new mission, it mostly depended on his current situation, so he assumed that the new mission must be rted to taming the ice sparrow. But when he saw that newly generated mission in the quest tab, he was shocked, as it doesn''t belong to taming the ice sparrow as he expected, it was a mission with a danger rating of ''A''. ''Ding, Mission name:-?Save the Ice sparrow. Description:- The older birdman kills the three participants from the three tribe contest for some unknown reason. So save the ice sparrow from him. Reward:-?A high-grade primitive stone Danger rating:- ''A.'' Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 140: Return to the three elemental zone

140 Return to the three elemental zone

Ajax was bbergasted at the mission details, which required him to save the ice sparrow from the older birdman whom he was escaping. "Let''s try this then," Ajax looked at it and asked, "Will you follow me?" As if not understanding what Ajax was asking, it looked at him intently for a moment before nodding its head. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t expect it would be this easy to tame a spirit beast ofte-stage rank 3. However, he was happy with the result and looked at its information with the system. ''Ding, Name:- Netherworld Ice Sparrow Attribute:- Ice/Dark dual type Cultivation:- Late-stage rank 3 Bloodline:- Ice sparrow emperor (40% purity) Skills:- 1) Nether w (Active):- when it is used, the ws of the sparrow are covered with dark elemental essence of nature. 2) Icy Feather shot (Active):- A powerful attack but consumes a lot of essence of nature from its spirit consciousness. (Note:- So, it didn''t use this skill in the contest) 3) Frost (Innate ability):- A low-level innate ability of the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe. Freezes the opponent for some time depending on the strength of the enemy. When he looked at the information in the holographic screen, he understood why it was easy to tame it. "I think the speciality Dark Elementalist was the reason for the Ice sparrow to agree in following me," He checked the speciality once again. ''Ding, Speciality:- Dark Elementalist (Passive) Use:- Increases the cultivation speed of the dark type beings by 50 percent when they were in the 10-meter radius around the host. Description:- From now on, when the host encounters any dark type beings (spirit beasts or elemental spirits), he will be shown less hatred and sometimes even attracted to the host. ''Ding, The host guessed right. ''Ding, Theherworld ice sparrow is a dual-type spirit beast, the host''s Dark Elementalist speciality attracted it. Ajax nodded his head and said to the system, "System retrieve the mysterious energy from their bodies, I will use it on the dark elemental paradise". ''Ding, Sessfully retrieved the mysterious energy from the bodies of ice sparrow and the lightning dragon hawk and stored in the system''s space. ''Ding, Once the inner worldpletes its upgrade, the system will automatically upgrade the dark elemental paradise. "Hmm, but system, since an ice sparrow is half a dark elemental spirit beast, why can''t it use the mysterious energy in its body to itself," Ajax asked a question which he got when he looked at the attributes of the ice sparrow. ''Ding, To use the mysterious energy is suicide. ''Ding, The energy needed to be converted to a milder form from its original harshest form. Ajax understood the meaning behind its words and didn''t ask any more questions. "Snow, are you ready to fly?" Soon, he turned to Snow and asked her while caressing her feathers. ''Nods'' Snow nodded her head excitedly. Which Hawk doesn''t like to fly in the sky? It didn''t get the title King of Skies. Ajax mounted on her and started his journey in the direction of his elemental spirits. Behind them, Netherworld''s ice sparrow followed them. Because of the ice sparrow, Snow lowered its speed. Along the way, Ajax talked with Snow and Ice sparrow which he didn''t know whether it understood him or not. With the help of the system, he was able to find that the inheritance orb, it obtained from the older birdman which waster refined by the system was still in its spirit consciousness. But, Snow had to absorb the inheritance orb without any disturbances, so he didn''t allow it to absorb that orb yet. They flew for a whole day before reaching their required destination, the three elemental zone. Three elemental zone was the name given by Ajax which has three elements that were separated by a mysterious barrier. The barrier only separated the essence of nature but not living beings. As soon as hended on the ground, Necros which was resting under a tree looked visibly bored as he didn''t have anything to do these days. His undead summons and undead water python were guarding each elemental spirit that was cultivation in their respective elemental areas. "Everyone, it''s time to wake up," without wasting any time, Ajax woke up everyone. Necros was the first to notice Ajax, so he rushed excitedly in front of Ajax and stood attentively. Other elemental spirits also woke up from their cultivation ces and came towards Ajax in a hurry. All the elemental spirits sensed the urgency in the voice of their master and rushed toward him. After all the elemental spirits assembled, Ajax observed them checked their cultivation levels carefully. "Spirus and it, not bad. Both of you reached the peak of the elite spirit soldier realm and only one step away from reaching the elemental spiritmander realm, that great," he was impressed by their cultivation speed and praised them. Next he checked Volcanis, Once his strongest elemental spirit but overtaken by Necros recently. "What? Reached level 8 of the Elemental spiritmander," Ajax was shocked at the increase in the strength of the fire elemental spirit which was once again his strongest elemental spirit even overtaking Necros who now has the cultivation of level 5 elementalmander spirit realm. Before he went on the mission to collect the nts, Necros had the cultivation level of peak level 4 spiritmander realm, without cultivating, he broke through to the level 5 spiritmander realm with the remaining energy from the corpses he consumed. "Now, we have to find a safe ce to hide," Ajax quickly exined his past events and theirtest problem. "Snow, you stay here with the Spirus, it and Ice sparrow, Volcanics and Necros, we will search for a cave or something to hide for one day from that older birdman," he quickly left with Volcanis and Necros to search for a ce to hide. He wanted Snow and Ice sparrow to remain at the same ce until the three days were over. When the older birdmanes looking for them, he would use the Array discs on the both Snow and Ice sparrow before transferring to the safe ce.

141 Hunt begins

Ajax and his two elemental spirits searched for a possible safe ce for almost a day before finalizing a well-hidden cave. It looked like a cultivation abode of some cultivator just needed a bit of cleaning, to remove the bones of the previous owner from the abode. "Volcanis, Necros what do you think of this ce?" Although he was more than satisfied with the abode, he asked about it to his elemental spirits opinion. "In my opinion, this is the best ce to hide, even, we didn''t find it easily, although it was right under our nose," Volcanic replied to Ajax respectfully. "Yes," Necros nodded his head, agreeing with the fire elemental spirit. In their almost one day search, they found many ces and selected one among those ces. Still, when they returned to inform others about their finalized ce, they stumbled upon a more hidden cave than their finalized one and automatically chose this one as their safe location. Furthermore, it was only a few hours distance from the three elemental zone. "Necros you stay here, Volcanis and I will go and return with others," Ajax ordered Necros to stay at the hidden cave. When he heard this, Necros face turned sad but didn''t retort against Ajax''s order. "Don''t be sad Necros, you can cultivate in the Dark elemental paradise in the inner world, once we go out of this five elemental world", Seeing the sad look on Necros face, Ajax consoled him with the Dark elemental paradise. As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, Necros''s sad face tuned radiant and smilingly went to sit in the cave. Seeing Necros behaving like a kid, Ajax shook his head and smilingly left the hidden cave to get others here. "I need to be quick, the three day time is about toplete," When he and Volcanis were getting others to their recently found cave, Ajax saw the remaining time. ''Ding, Remaining time for the mission to start:- 6 hours and 49 minutes. With that, he increased his speed and reached the three elemental zone. "Sparrow,e here," Ajax called the ice sparrow with her new name ''Sparrow''. She was the only spirit beast; he doesn''t have a contract, so he wanted to form a contract with her so that he could take her with him from this world when his ten-day time period waspleted. Beforeing to the Five elemental world, he was informed by the System that he needs to form a contract with the spirit beast which he wants to bring with him to another world. So, he wanted to form a contract with the ice sparrow now, and when his time period waspleted, he could directly escape from this damned older birdman. "Don''t resist, okay," Ajax said to her before cing his hands on her head and entered into her spirit consciousness which was half icy blue, and the other half was pitch ck. He didn''t linger in her spirit consciousness much longer and quickly left his spiritual imprint in her spiritual consciousness before retracting his spiritual sense. ''Ding, Sessfully formed a contract with the Netherworld ice sparrow. "Snow,e here and stand beside sparrow," Ajax didn''t pay any heed to the system notification before calling Snow. He carefully took out the array discs from his inventory. They were given to him by the Hawk tribe leader Qwerek to block the older birdman from sensing Snow. ''Ding, Item name:- rank 4 Array discs Description:- Created by the Hawk tribe leader Qwerek after he broke through to the rank 4 array master. Use:- Blocks the spiritual imprint ced on the body (no effect on the spiritual imprint in the spirit consciousness which is permanent) for some time depending on the marker''s strength. Ajax already knew this was only a temporary method and didn''t know how long it wouldst, but he wanted to give it a try. "It''s sufficient for both of you," Ajax checked everything before he could use the array discs when it was time. He waited for the remaining time before using the array discs. "Everyone rxes for 3 more hours before we start our move," Ajax checked the time once again with the system which showed him three more hours before the older birdman starts his hunt. Until then, he asked everyone to rest. "Is it possible for me to escape from him?" Ajax worried when he thought about his escape. He nned that when it was time, he would block the older birdman''s senses with the array discs before transporting them into the inner world, which was still in the upgrade. "But ording to the system, I can''t hide them in the inner world much longer only a few hours before the older birdman can sense them," Ajax''s previous n became a joke when the system poured cold water on it. "Whatever, I will try to survive as long as I can. There is still a chance to escape if I manage to survive a dozen hours," he thought that with this array discs and inner world, he could hold the older birdman for 10-12 hours but he still needed another dozen hours before the system could teleport him from this world to his world. Soon, he closed his eyes amidst his thoughts. ''Ding, The older birdman hunts start any moment from now on. ''Ding, Please be careful. After three or so hours, Ajax was woken up by the system notifications. Without wasting any time, he quickly took out the array discs and gave it Spirus, it, Volcanis each and he kept thest array disc for himself. "Everyone forms a square and channels your essence of nature into the array discs continuously. Until I say, no one should stop" "Snow, Sparrow enter into the square and walk-in synchronization with our movement and follow our pace, and don''te outside of the square until we reach our hidden cave." Ajax continuously urged everyone to do their roles. Volcanis, Spirus, it and Ajax stood at the four corners forming a square. In the Square, both birds, Lightning Dragon Hawk and Netherworld Ice Sparrow were following as Ajax, and his elemental spirits moved withouting out of the Square.

142 Searching

"More 21 hours to go," while moving, Ajax checked the time remaining for leaving the Five elemental world. For the past three hours, they were moving towards the hidden cave, hoping that the older birdman would not find them very soon. After moving for some more distance, they finally reached their destination and entered the hidden-cave. ''Ding, The inner world is upgraded sessfully. ''Ding, Upgrading the dark elemental paradise in the inner world with the mysterious energy. ''Ding, The host still has a chance to select an element for his new elemental paradise. Fire/water/wind/earth/Life, among the five elements, please choose one. After sitting in the cave for a moment, Ajax got a series of system notifications informing about thepletion of the inner world''s upgrade. "I will select the elementter," Ajax just closed the system notifications. He was tired from all the travelling he had done from the past three days. Nevertheless, he was happy with the inner world''s upgrade and waited for the time for the array disc to run out, so that he could transfer them into his newly upgraded inner world which he thought could block the older birdman from sensing Snow and Sparrow. ... In a random area of Shixato Wilds, An old birdman whose face was full of wrinkles looked at the chained Raweth and eerily smiled. "What are you doing? What the hell do you want with me?" The chained Raweth asked with hatred in his tone. "Because you are one of my keys, Hahaha," the older birdman loudlyughed and continued, "Now, let''s find my other keys". Raweth, who was on the ground with dark elemental chains binding him didn''t understand anything from the older birdman''s words. "Huh?" the older birdman looked visibly confused. "Why the spiritual mark I put on Ice sparrow and the lightning dragon hawk, disappeared at the same time," suddenly, he became alert as it never happened with the previous participants. As he said that he vanished from the ce he was standing along with the chained Raweth. .... ''Ding, The array discs effectiveness is about to expire. ''Ding, Now transfer the Ice Sparrow and Snow into the inner world. Without any dy, he recalled both the spirit beasts into his spirit consciousness. ''kacha'' As soon as he transferred them, the array disc in his hand was destroyed. Simrly, the array discs in the hands of his elemental spirits were also destroyed. "System, how many hours do you think it takes for the inner world to keep him away from us?" Ajax didn''t know how long but he knew it would block for some hours in the least. ''Ding, The system was unable to gauge the exact strength of the older birdman, so the system can''t tell the host an exact time. ''Ding, But the inner world can block him for around 5-10 hours. "Even if my luck is good and the inner world manages to block the older birdman for 10 hours, I still need 10 more hours to hide," Ajax sighed at his bad luck and thought he came to the five elemental world at the worst time. With one''s strength reaching a very high level, nothing could ever escape from his sight. And sensing his spirit mark was one of the most natural things for that high realm cultivator. ... At the three elemental zone, "This was the ce where both my ''keys'' disappeared," two hours after Ajax and his team left the zone, the older birdman appeared with the Raweth. "Weird, is someone ying with me?" he shook his head and continued, "There is no one in this Shixato wilds that dares to y with me." "Or those tribe leaders found about the loophole in the seal ced by the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor and managed to do something to block my spirit imprint." "No, these fools don''t have that much intelligence yet." "Then what is happening with my spirit imprint that I am unable to sense?" The older birdman continuously thought of all possible things, but he was unable to find an exact reason behind hisck of sensing his spirit imprint. "Huh?" Suddenly he looked at a particr tree. "A human scent?" he sensed a human scent at that tree where Ajax spent most of his time. "Don''t tell me a human is protecting them, even so, why will he do that?" he was not puzzled at the human''s appearance in the five elemental world but what intrigued him the most was why he would help those birds. "Since you dared toe in my way, I will show you what will happen to those thate in my way," the older birdman said with anger in his tone and used his full concentration to extend his spirit sense to all the areas surrounding the three elemental zone. Soon, he consciousness extended a radius of 10 km and checked. He didn''t miss any nook or corner in the surrounding 10 km and checked carefully for any sign of his keys (birds) and a human. Although he can check more than 10 km radius, he didn''t want to miss any small ce. So he checked carefully, even if it was time-consuming, he wanted to find them at any cost. After checking the radius of 10 km, he changed to another position and repeated the process of checking again and again. ... In the cave, although Ajax was sleeping, his heart was not at ease. With each passing minute, his worry increased. With that worry, soon more than 8 hours passed when he got a system notification. ''Ding, The Dark elemental Paradise in the inner world finished its upgrade. Please check the inner world system feature for the changes that urred to it. ''Ding, The inner world can''t block the senses of the older birdman any longer. ''Ding, He can find us anytime now. Please be careful. All of a sudden, Ajax stood up. He didn''t have time to bother with the inner world or dark elemental paradise for now as he was praying heavens to dy the older birdman from sensing them.

143 Mysterious Cave

At a random area in the?Shixato wilds, "I can sense my spiritual mark," the older birdman became excited all of a sudden. It''s been more than 6 hours, he began his search but was unable to find anything. Just when he was about to lose his hope in finding them, he sensed his lost spiritual mark on the ice sparrow and the lightning hawk, which made him excited. "Huh?" Although he was able to sense his spiritual imprints on their bodies, some kind of barrier was interfering with his connection with them. "Although, I can''t pinpoint their exact location due to the disturbances in the essence of nature, they are hiding in a cave which is causing that interference," the older birdman shook his head but didn''t lose hope. "There are only 5-6 caves that can interfere with my spiritual sense in this Shixato wilds," he thought in his mind and looked at the Raweth whom he was dragging with some dark elemental chains which were wrapped all over his body. "Just bear with it for a little longer, soon, you will feel no pain," the older birdman said with an eerieugh and started checking the caves that could interfere with his spiritual sense. .... "What should I do?" "What should I do?" Ajax walked to and fro for a way to escape from the older birdman and thought of all the possible trump cards he had. "I have the feather from the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor which can block two attack from the King realm cultivators" he only had one trump card with him, and even that could only block two attacks. "I think I should consume the strength potion and activate the flight ability from the?feather and escape from him," Ajax finally thought of this in case the older birdman managed to find him. What he could do in front of the great strength. Only one thing. That was to Escape. Strength potion increases his physical strength by the factor of three, and it will help him withstand the attacks from the older birdman at least 20-30% (ording to the system) ''Ding, The system sensed that this cave is not allowing the spiritual sense of the older birdman on the bodies of the two birds to the outside of the cave. "Excellent, thanks heaven for helping me," Ajax was overjoyed at thetest system notification and praised himself, "So it''s not a bad idea to hide in the cave." "By the way, what is the deal with this cave?" he asked the system about the cave that was helping him. ''Ding, The host required more strength to use the system''s advanced features to know more about them. "Whatever, it''s enough since it is helping me," he didn''t bother asking more questions when he saw that it required more strength to know about the mysteries behind the caves. After that, he rxed, and his worry lessened with this mysterious cave that was helping him from the older birdman. But, what he didn''t know was that the older birdman already guessed his location and began his search. "12 more hours to leave this hell," Ajax didn''t feel his initial excitement and just wanted to escape from this five elemental world. Seconds turned into minutes, Minutes into Hours. Hour after hour, soon 6 hours passed in a sh, but for Ajax, they were like years that never pass. Suddenly he heard soundsing from the cave entrance and became alert. He took out his strength portion and his important trump card Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s feather and warily looked at the iing silhouette. When he saw the silhouette, his worst fears became real, that the older birdman finally found him. Behind the older birdman, he saw Raweth who was imprisoned with the dark elemental chains. "What have I got here," As soon as the older birdman came inside the hidden cave, he said with a surprised look on his face. "An elemental spirit summoner, that''s a rare profession for even humans," he carefully looked at every elemental spirit and carefully observed Ajax. "There might be a high level human in the surroundings, I should be careful," when he saw the number of Elemental spirits and only one human, he acted with caution. ording to him, a summoner was a rare profession, and among them, having four elemental spirits was unique when he saw how young Ajax was. ''He must be from a top family but where is his guardian?'' He checked his surroundings. Only when he sensed there was no one, he directly checked Ajax''s spirit consciousness for the two birds. When he saw the birds were not in his consciousness, he thought, ''I can feel they are here, but why can''t I see them''. The reason he can''t seem them was, Snow and Ice sparrow were in the inner world and with the mysterious cave disturbing his spirit senses, he was not able to pinpoint their exact location. So, he asked Ajax in his eerie voice, "Hey kid, did you see two birds around here." "No," Ajax replied innocently. Why would he say ''I was the one who stored them in a separate space''. "Huh?" The older birdman nodded his head and turned around to leave. Once Ajax saw him leave the cave, he heaved a sigh of relief. Before he couldplete his sigh action, a mysterious ck energy came at him with very speed. Just as that mysterious energy was about to hit him, a Lightning shield formed in front of him and blocked it. "What the heck!" Ajax eximed at the mysterious ck energy that came from the exit of the cave. "Hahaha," soon he heard theughter of the older birdman and bitterly sighed. "Finally found you, so you are the one who is hiding my keys. I know something about you is wrong but I didn''t expect that fool hawk tribe leader gave you their heaven grade artifact," the older birdman came back with the chained Raweth who was flying like a balloon. Ajax looked at the feather in his hand that saved his life just now. ''Ding, Remaining blocks:- 1/3 "The number of attacks the feather can block has changed from 2/3?to 1/3?which means it can only block one more attack," Ajax was d it saved his life, but still he felt he was going to die in the hands of the older birdman.

144 Advice From The Old Voice

"So, brat, if you say where did you hide the lightning hawk and ice sparrow, I will give you a painless death," the older birdman asked Ajax calmly which puzzled Ajax. ''Ding, Although he can sense his sprint imprint on the bodies of the Snow and ice sparrow, he can''t pinpoint the exact location. With the sudden system notification, Ajax felt some hope in his survival for around six hours. Since he was unable to pinpoint them, he asked Ajax. "What do you say? Either you answer me or I will torture you slowly and forcefully get the answer from you," As Ajax had a lightning hawk tribe''s heaven grade treasure, he confirmed that Ajax was the one who hid them. So, he asked Ajax once again but released his aura this time. ''System, show me the exact time remaining for me to leave this world?'', Ajax slowly asked the system, suppressing the iing aura of the older birdman. ''Ding, 5 hours 42 minutes remaining. ''I have a chance now'' with that he devised a n in his mind. "If I say where I hid them, can you leave me alive?" Ajax asked the older birdman seriously. "No, you wasted too much of time and even fooled me earlier" he straight away rejected Ajax''s request. Because of Ajax, the older birdman wasted too much time and energy in just searching for them, so he was decidedly angrier towards him. If not for the exact location of the birds, he would have killed him already. "Then I am not saying where I hidden them," Ajax coldly replied to him which increased the anger of the older birdman towards Ajax. "Really?" the old birdman coldly smirked and chanted something. A dark light fire came from his body and entered into Ajax. "Let''s see how much longer can you hold the pain, Hahaha," heughed at Ajax and entered deep into the cave leaving Raweth with Ajax and his elemental spirits... Before entering more in-depth into the cave, he didn''t forget to seal the entrance of the mysterious cave. His elemental spirits were looking at Ajax guiltily as they were immobilised as soon as the older birdman entered the cave and not in a position to help their master. Even if they were not immobilised with the strength of the older birdman, they were not yet capable of injuring him, much less taking his life. ''If it''s just a pain, I can easily endure it,'' Ajax smirked and silently thought in his head. But before that older birdman could enter the depths of the cave, Ajax clutched his head and screamed in pain. "Although you may not be killed by my ghost fire, you will feel the piercing pain that you will wish you were better dead than experiencing that pain," Seeing this, the leaving older birdman coldlyughed and began his search for the birds which were in the cave but could not be seen by him. All his elemental spirits looked at their master and worried about him. In the inner world, Snow, which felt the disturbances in the Ajax reaction through the contract between them,municated with the Ajax, albeit Ajax didn''t understand any of its words. But he was able to understand its feeling with the help of the contract, and he knew it was worried about him. "It''s okay Snow, don''t worry, I will be okay," Ajax replied while gritting his teeth. With each passing second, the pain intensified, causing Ajax to groan in pain. At times, the pain increased suddenly, which made him shout. He continued to endure the pain he was feeling all over his body. Slowly, one hour had passed. Ajax managed to endure the bone-crushing pain for one hour and just when he thought he would fall unconscious, a familiar old voice came like an rm which woke him up. "You can endure this." "Slowly circte the mysterious spirit cultivation technique to suppress the ghost fire in your body," along with the motivation, the old voice even gave him the advice to circte the mysterious spirit cultivation that he obtained on his first mission. Later he cultivated the technique and even upgraded it to level 2. Biting his tongue, he slowly circted the level 2 mysterious cultivation technique. He circted the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness along the body with the movements he learned from that technique. Soon, hepleted one whole circle of cirction all over his body in a few minutes. Although the pain from the ghost fire that was burning his body didn''t decrease, it was not increased, which made Ajax circte once more. Still, with the gritted teeth, he managed toplete one more round. This time, the decreased a little which ade Ajax excited, and he continued to circte the mysterious spirit cultivation technique again and again. As he was concentrating on the cirction of the technique to reduce the pain, the older birdman searched the entire cave, which was much bigger than he thought and returned to the Ajax and his team. "Huh? Brat, you are much tougher than you look," the older birdman said with his usual eerie smile. Although he was surprised that Ajax still endured the pain, he didn''t care at all as Ajax was the summoner. "I think, as a summoner you were made to practice a lot of difficult exercises, right?" He concluded that Ajax has a very stronger body than his actual cultivation strength, and his endurance to pain was also high. "Now, do you want to reveal the location where you hid them," the older birdman asked with an eerie voice, but a spit from Ajax came as a reply. "You," he was very much angered and with a suppressed tone he continued, "I know you hid them in this cave and I can kill you now and search themter, so you better say before I torture to even more," although he was angered, he suppressed his anger and asked Ajax. "Really, go ahead and kill me. But I can say one thing for sure, if you kill me, you will never find them in your life," Ajax replied with a smirk on his face.

''From the look of his face, he doesn''t seem like bluffing,'' Ajax''s words made the older birdman think for a moment before he gazed at his elemental spirits. "Okay then, I will kill your elemental spirits first and then continue to torture you slowly until you beg of death with your own mouth," with that, the older birdman chanted something while forming some symbols with his hands. But before he couldplete his chanting, all the elemental spirits vanished into thin air which caused the older birdman to stop his chanting and to make hand signs. "Hahaha," the older birdmanughed loudly and continued saying, "So, you think I can''t do anything to your contracted elemental spirits if you retract them into your Spirit consciousness." After saying that, he resumed his chanting and started forming various hand symbols. "Now, I will let you see your elemental spirits die pitifully in your own spirit consciousness," the older birdman released a gaseous attack that entered Ajax''s spirit consciousness before returning into the birdman''s body. "What?" He was shocked that his attack failed and quickly used his spirit sense which was unstable due to the mysterious cave to check Ajax''s spirit consciousness. "Hey brat, where did you hide your elemental spirits?" When he checked Ajax''s spirit consciousness, he was unable to find any elemental spirits. "Wait, brat, how can you have elemental spirits of various elements?" The older birdman was shocked once again at the mysteriousness behind Ajax. He was shocked because a summoner can have only one type of elemental spirit of a particr element, in some cases double elements were possible, and in very rare cases, triple elemental summoners could be seen. But here, he saw a quadruple summoner of elements Fire, Earth, Life and Dark. "I am waiting to see, how you gonna kill my elemental spirits or did you change your mind?", Ajax spoke in a mocking tone. Ajax sent all his elemental spirits and his spirit beasts which were already in his spirit consciousness into his inner world when the older birdman was about to use some skill to kill his elemental spirits. Also, he found something from the conversation of an older birdman, that he would not kill him (Ajax) until he found Snow and ice sparrow. So, he took his chance and started ying with the older birdman. "Fine then human, I will let you live if you just hand those two birds to me," while saying this, he recalled the ghost fire from Ajax''s body which made Ajax rxed. Even though he normally talked with the older birdman, for the entire time, he endured the pain from the ghost fire. "Hmm," Ajax who was now free from the pain thought for a moment and before negotiating, "But you tortured me for this whole time, I needpensation for that." Ajax acted with a pained expression on his face. "You.." The older birdman suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want?" "Hmm," Ajax thought for a moment before asking, " I want all the inheritances you have." Seeing Ajax asking for the valuable things in his arsenal the older birdman coldly scoffed at him and agreed without giving much thought to it. ''Just you wait, once I get those bodies I will give a slow death with all the torturing techniques I know as apensation, hehehe,'' even though he agreed to Ajax''s request, he cunningly smiled inwards. "Since we came to a negotiation, give me those two birds now," the older birdman asked Ajax slowly after he agreed to Ajax''s terms. "I want them now," However Ajax didn''t move from his ce and asked the older birdman while stretching his hand. ''Damn brat'', Older birdman cursed Ajax in his heart, but he showed a smile on his aged face before saying, "At present I only have two inheritances on me. As for the remaining inheritances I can give you after our deal". Saying that, he took out two energy orbs of different colours, one was the size of a football while the other was only half of that size. Ajax took them into his hands and stored them in the system inventory. Seeing that, the older birdman raised his thin brows and puzzled internally, ''Where is he storing all the item and his elemental spirits''. Because he checked Ajax''s spirit consciousness that was way bigger than peakmander realm cultivators which were empty except for the essence of nature, he was unable to find anything. ''I will find all your secrets once I get my hands on those two unevolved birds,'' the older birdman was fully prepared torture Ajax and find out about his secrets. The more he looked at him, the more he wanted to find out the secrets behind him, but he was suppressing his urge. "Also, I need something to remove seals from someone''s spirit consciousness, do you have anything rted to that?" Ajax unexpectedly asked another thing which made the older birdman and furious. "Hey brat, don''t y with me, either give me those birds or die" the older birdman shouted at Ajax, but Ajax didn''t move as though he didn''t hear anything. Ajax asked that thing for the sake of removing the seals from his first follower ''Barbarian Darbaudr''. "Fine, I have a High-level Earth grade artifact called seal breaker, which can break seals from on the spirit consciousness, but it is limited to only to below general realm cultivators above that it will not have any effect," since he would take all the items back from Ajax, he gave his valuable artifact to Ajax without any hesitation. Ajax knew what that older birdman was nning in his cunning mind, but he had his ns and excitedly took thatpass-like device into his hands and slowly observed it before cing into his inventory. All Ajax was doing was wasting the remaining time for his teleportation. The more he wasted, the higher his chance of escaping. "Brat, now show me the exact location of the birds and don''t you dare y any tricks because you can''t escape from my energy barrier which can even stop you from teleporting out of my barrier." Seeing all Ajax''s deliberate actions, the older birdman was irritated and urged Ajax to show the exact location of the birds. When Ajax heard his words, he was shocked and nearly fell.

146 Escape n

''System, is he telling the truth?'' Ajax asked the system worriedly in his mind. If what that older birdman said was true, then there was really no way he could escape from his clutches. ''Ding, At present, the system has no chance to confirm the birdman''s words. But, what he said about the barrier was true. "What?" Ajax felt his soul escaping from his body when he saw the system notifications. ''Now, that''s the reaction I want brat. I want you to feel hopeless and plead me to kill you, hehe,'' seeing Ajax''s face full of hopelessness, the older birdman sneered andughed with his usual eeriness. ''Ding, But there is still a chance as long as the older birdman gets distracted for a second. ''System I know you will not leave me to death,'' seeing the sudden notification Ajax''s lost soul finally entered into his body and started nning on how to distract the birdman in front of him. "Why will I escape," Ajax confidently said to the older birdman before continuing, "Now follow me." Saying that he walked towards the entrance of the hidden-cave. ''Huh? Is he that confident in surviving?'' Seeing the confident look on the Ajax''s face, the older birdman felt something amiss. However, he shook his head, thinking that''s an impossible thing. "Can you unseal the exit now?" Ajax said to him while pointing at the cave entrance that was covered by some dark energy. ''Swoosh'' The older birdman lightly waved his hand, and the barrier covering the entrance disappeared into thin air. After the barrier covering the cave entrance was removed, Ajax and the older birdman took flight and flew in a particr direction. Raweth was dragged by the mysterious chain behind them, just like a kite by the older birdman. As for Ajax, he was using the flight ability from the low-level Heaven grade feather. "Hey, brat, where are you taking me? Don''t y with me and quickly take me to those birds," They flew for more three hours before the older birdman got irritated and urged Ajax. "Do you see the mountain there?" Even though the older birdman urged him, Ajax deliberately pointed his finger at a mountain in the distance and asked him. "Hmm," the older birdman looked at the mountain and nodded his head. "On that mountain, there will be a small nt with a huge fruit on one of its branches," Ajax paused for a moment and continued, "I hidden them right under that nt." Ajax said with a stern expression making that older birdman believe his words a little. "I can indeed see that nt you mentioned but why can''t I sense those birds there; instead I sense them from you," the older birdman raised his question which he had along the way. "It''s because I have hidden them with an artifact which is presently on me, so you can sense them from me," Ajax, who had already prepared an answer for this question, answered with confidence which made the older birdman finally believe his wordspletely. When the system notified him to distract the older birdman for a second, Ajax immediately thought of a ce where he was terrified to go. That was the mountain where he encountered an octopus-like spirit beast that was mostly around rank 6 or higher. He nned to waste time until his ten-day time limit was up. After the time-up, he would make the older birdman fight the octopus-like spirit beast. Even though he doesn''t know exactly how strong that spirit beast was, one thing was sure. The octopus-like spirit beast would at least distract the older birdman for a second, which he needed to escape from the five elemental world. "I hope the rest of the n goes as I nned. System, how much time is remaining for the ten-day period toplete?" Ajax asked the system. Until now, everything went ording to his n, and he hoped his remaining n goes as he nned and asked the system to show the remaining time to leave the five elemental world. ''Ding, Time left:- 15 minutes. Seeing that he needed only 15 minutes, Ajax''s expectations raised along with his hope. After checking the time, Ajax slowly flew towards the mountain, he just pointed. Ajax led the older birdman to the ce where the octopus-like spirit beast might live. Along the way, Ajax was at his high alert and clutched the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s feather. ''Something doesn''t feel right,'' along the way, the older birdman also raised his alertness to the peak. Even though he was a mighty cultivator once, after being imprisoned for 1000 years with a seal by the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor, his cultivation degraded, and his martial techniques became rusty. Moreover, some spirit beasts hid in some corners that probably were around the same strength as his present self. He didn''t want to die due to a moment of carelessness in the hand of some unevolved spirit beasts. ''Just you wait, brat, once this is all over, I will show you the true hell,'' Because of Ajax, he nearly wasted one day, which expended him more energy than he conserved for many years. The older birdman continued to suppress his urge to torture Ajax with each passing second. "Finally, we are here," Ajax said in a loud voice intentionally to alert the octopus-like spirit beast. As he expected, once hepleted his words, more than four octopus tentacles came from the ground, attacking them with a monstrous speed. "You damned brat," Even though the older birdman was on his high alert, he was hit by one of the octopus tentacles, which knocked him into a huge tree. Raweth, who was bound by the chains, was directly knocked into a vast boulder which was beside the nt with huge fruit. As for Ajax, he dodged two tentacles, but the third tentacle found its way to his neck and was about to strike him to death. However, when it was about to him, a shield formed around him, which quickly blocked the iing tentacle swing. ''Ding, All chances of blocking the attacks from a king realm cultivator or below arepleted. Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 147: Success

147 Sess

Ajax just shook his head at the system notification which said all three blocks from King realm cultivators attacks and below werepleted. However, he was d that he was alive. If not for thatst block from the feather, he would have died by now already. Even though the iing attack was blocked by the feather, he was knocked in the same direction of Raweth from the impact of that tentacle. Ajax slowly stood up from the ground to escape. From the system he knew that the energy barrier surrounding them became unstable, so he thought of escaping immediately. When the older birdman was knocked into the tree earlier, the energy barrier surrounding them became unstable, so he thought of escaping from the unstable energy barrier and as soon as his ten-day time was up, he could directly teleport back with the help of the system. ''Ding, A new mission is generated in the quest tab, please check it. Just as he was about to escape, he got a system notification, informing of a new mission. "Huh?" Although he didn''t want to check the mission, he still can''t suppress his urge and checked it. ''Ding, Bonus mission Mission name:- Save Raweth (Fire crow tribe childe) Description:- A dying genius, saving him will benefit the host in the future. Reward:- A special reward box Mission failure:- None (Host can skip this mission if he doesn''t want toplete it) "Huh?" Ajax stopped in his tracks and checked the mission once again. "A bonus mission? I can leave this mission if I want to? But the reward looks good," in front of the rewards Ajax finally epted the mission. When he was in Qwerek''s house, he asked the system about the special reward box which said that all the items in the Special reward box were only high-level ones. After epting the mission, he looked at the?Raweth, whose body was bleeding and seemed like he was on hisst breath. Ajax then looked at the battle in front of him between the older birdman and the octopus-like spirit beast which was in a stalemate. Without wasting any time, Ajax went to the unconscious Raweth. cing his hand on Raweth''s chest, he tried to enter his spirit consciousness to form a contract. Since Raweth evolved from a fire crow, Ajax thought he could form a contract just like how he formed with Snow and other spirit beasts. Ajax''s spirit sense easily entered into Raweth''s spirit consciousness which waspletely red and Ajax felt hot in the spirit consciousness. "Sorry, but I need that Special reward box" He found a ce in Raweth''s spirit consciousness and imnted his spirit imprint. ''Ding, The host sessfully formed a contract with an Evolved Fire crow. The reason Ajax formed a contract with it was to take it away from the Five elemental world and to save him from the older birdman. To be honest, Ajax didn''t care about Raweth''s life or death, he only cared about the Bonus mission with a special box reward. Who would care about a stranger''s life when his life was already on line. After sending Raweth into the inner world to heal his injuries by Spirus''s healing skill, he got a system notification. ''Ding, The ten day time is up. ''Ding, The host can now travel back to his world. ''Ding, Teleporting host in 10 seconds. The system will send all your elemental spirits and spirit beasts into the host''s spirit consciousness. Ajax already knew that he could only teleport the living beings in his spirit consciousness, so he was prepared to leave anytime. Just as he had less than 6 seconds, his eyesnded on the huge fruit on the small nt. Without any dy, he ran towards it with his full speed and plucked the whole nt from the ground. "System, store this nt in the inner world," he quickly said to the system. ''As soon as the nt vanished from his hand, a portal formed above his head which sucked him directly into it. "No, give me back my keys," When the older birdman saw that portal sucking Ajax into it, he cried loudly and immediately rushed towards the closing portal. However, before he could reach the closing portal, a huge tentacle caught him and mmed him against a huge boulder. "Damn you, unevolved thing, you sessfully angered me," As soon as he said that his wings opened all of a sudden. His wings grew bigger and bigger along with the energy in his body which he collected from years. A sharp de which was formed by dark energy appeared in his hand. The octopus-like spirit beast which didn''te out from the ground fully, waved its tentacles at the transformed older birdman. ''sh'' Just when the tentacles were about to hit him, he casually waved the dark energy sword in his hands and shed multiple times. With each casual strike, he cut off the tentacle which had hardened scales on them, like tofu. Only with a few shes, he managed to cut off all the tentacles causing the octopus-like spirit beast screamed in pain before retracting its half-cut tentacles into the ground and escaped. As it escaped, the older birdman returned back to his earlier form with a tired look on his face. Aside from tiredness, his face had hatred and anger towards the human brat who fooled him and sessfully escaped from his hands. "Because of you, I wasted my 100 years of painfully conserved energy. Don''t let me find you in the future otherwise, I will kill you including the ones around you," the older birdman shouted at the sky, venting his anger towards it. .... In the Lightning Hawk tribe, Qwerek''s house, "Hahaha," a weak looking old manughed loudly causing all the bird folks in the tribe to shock. "Is that our usually calm tribe leader Qwerek?" "Why was heughing like that?" "Is he possessed by some demonic cultivator?" The bird folks in the tribe whispered silently about their tribe leader Qwerek. "This water is really wonderful, let''s see who will suppress our Lightning Hawk tribe anymore Hahaha," he once again startedughing. "Damn you old prisoner, you dare to kill my grandson with your cheap tricks, I will kill you with my own hands. Just you wait and see," Qwerek dissolved an essence gem into the water which was sparkling in a small cup and drank it before he started his cultivation.

Ajax''s room, Heavengroove mercenary squad building, The empty room which looked very peaceful, a portal appeared suddenly in the middle of the room. From the portal, a young man came out. Rather than saying ''came out,'' the words ''threw out'' would more likely suit the situation. That''s correct. Ajax was thrown out by the suddenly appeared portal before it vanished from the room. "Ouch," Ajax, who was thrown out of the portal, stood up slowly with pains all over his body. "Finally, I am back," he cheered himself. He felt good to return to his peaceful room from all the things he went through in the Five elemental world. ''Ding, Mission name:- Escape from the Older Birdman ispleted. Reward:- A new system feature is unlocked. Clearance rating:- A+(The host showed his wits and sessfullypleted the mission.) Note:- An ''A+'' danger rating mission was cleared with an ''A+'' clearance rating. Therefore, the host has received a three minor level upgrade in his body cultivation. ''Ding, Mission name:- Save the Ice sparrow is sessfullypleted. Reward:- A high-grade primitive stone is stored in the host''s inventory. Danger rating:- ''A.'' Clearance rating:- ''A.'' Note:- An ''A'' danger rating mission was cleared with an ''A'' clearance rating. Therefore, the host has received a single minor level upgrade in his body cultivation. ''Ding, Bonus mission Mission name:- Save Raweth (Fire crow tribe childe) is sessfullypleted. Reward:- A special reward box is stored in the host''s inventory. As he was cheering for himself for his safe return, he got the continuous system notifications making him even more cheerful. ''growl'' But before he even checked his rewards, his stomach growled in hunger. As he didn''t eat for a few days, he was starving. "I should probably go and eat something," with that thought in his mind, he moved towards the door. As he was about to open the doorknob, he saw the robe on his hand which was covered in dust Soon, he examined his body, which was covered in mud and sweat. "I should bath first before going to eat," Ajax immediately went into the bathroom and showered. Immediately wearing some clean clothes, he rushed downstairs as he wanted to eat something. As soon as he went down, he saw all the squad members were having their dinner. "Hey Ajax, didn''t you say this morning, you were going to break through to level 2 of themander realm? Why did youe out within 12 hours," Lewis, asked Ajax when he saw Ajax hastilying downstairs. "Hm..," Ajax stopped for a moment before he replied, "I already broke through." After his reply, without wasting any time, he quickly sat in the chair to eat. As soon as he sat, he started eating hastily, just like a monster that didn''t eat for months. It was expected as Ajax didn''t eat for thest three days, and he went through many things these days. Another reason for his monstrous eating was he wanted to go back to his room to check the rewards he gained from the mission hepleted. "Huh? Ajax, you broke through 3 minor realms in less than 12 hours?" Edmond, who was eating at the other end of the dining table, observed Ajax and sensed the energying from him. "What?" "Multiple breakthroughs?" "Less than 12 hours." "Monster!" All other squad members on the dining table shouted when they heard Captain Edmond''s words. However, after the initial shouts, everyone looked at Lewis, who shouted, ''Monster!''. "I am just saying that he was a monster who broke through multiple minor realms, hehe. Not an actual monster." Lewis exined the meaning behind his words, which made Ajax choke. ''That''s right. Here it''s only 10 hours since I went to Five Element World,'' Ajax quickly remembered the time ratio between his world and five elemental world. For every one hour in this world was equivalent to a day in the Five Element Wolrd. Having stayed in the Five Elemental World, he forgot this something. "Yes, I broke through multiple realms due to residual energy from my previous fortuitous encounter," without wasting any time, he replied with a story. "Hmm," Edmond nodded his head, but Udo Keenaxe still looked unconvinced. "Ajax, don''t breakthrough hastily. Stabilize your foundations properly before you breakthrough another realm," Edmond advised Ajax who was eating non-stop "Okay, Captain Edmond, I will stabilize my cultivation," Ajax replied after eating hisst bite from the bowl and continued, "I will go and take some rest, everyone." After saying his words, he quickly rushed back to his room. "See and learn from him; he is younger than you but already surpassed you. You have to work hard," Edmond said to the remaining young members in a slow tone. "I don''t know about Jeff, but I will sure cultivate hard," saying that Lewis ran off to his word, making Edmond and othersugh. "I will cultivate even harder than him," Jeff also left soon after Lewis. "These kids.." Udo shook his head, seeing the childish behavior of Lewis and his son. "I will also go back to my room Captain Edmond," Paulin slowly stood up from his chair and walked towards his room. "Paulin, after your weekly spar with Ajax, you and Ajax should take some missions from the Mercenary guild andplete them," Edmond said to Paulin, who was leaving. Paulin stopped in his tracks and turned to Edmond. Seeing the seriousness in Edmond''s face, Paulin nodded his head, understanding the meaning behind his words. ording to Edmond, he and Ajax should upgrade their strength as much as possible so that they could develop their strength with these missions. Furthermore, ifdy luck smiles on them, they might have any fortuitous encounter which may upgrade their strength to one who the whole realm higher then who would be their opponent in the Champion''spetition. After nodding his head, Paulin left for his room. "How can Ajax''s cultivation speed be this fast? He only cultivated for a few weeks, and he already reached the Commander realm. Don''t you sense something is fishy here?" After everyone left the dining hall, Udo keenaxe asked Edmond with a serious face. "You mean, you are suspecting Ajax to be a Demonic cultivator?"

149 Opening Special reward box

"You mean, you are suspecting Ajax to be a Demonic cultivator?" "Yes, that is the only possible way for him to achieve the level 4mander realm," Udo keenaxe replied to Edmond with confidence. "Huh? Really?" Edmond looked at Udo before he continued speaking, "Did you forget someone who achieved cultivation of themander realm in just four days after he started his cultivation?" When he said those words, Edmond''s face looked sad. "How can his and Ajax''s case be the same? He was born with a cultivation body and a rare bloodline. Along with the cultivation resources he was provided with, his cultivation speed was very fast" Seeing the sad look on Edmond, Udo shook his head and exined. Udo and Edmond talked about someone for sometime before Edmond asked Udo to stop and he concluded, "Although I can sense dark energy in his body, there''s no demonic energy in him, so leave it. If he wants to share his secrets, let him say, if not, leave him alone. But one thing is sure, he is not a demonic cultivator," Edmond said with a serious tone, which made Udo shake his head. Udo knew Edmond very well, so he didn''t continue arguing with him anymore. However, Udo still looked not convinced with Edmond, who was always easy going on others. ¡­. In Ajax''s room, As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door quickly. "Before checking the rewards, I should probably check on that evolved fire crow," He looked into his spirit consciousness to check how Raweth was doing with his wounds. In his spirit consciousness, a humanoid silhouette with enormous red wings with ck markings was hovering in the mid-air while basking in the green essence of nature from the Spirus. Although Raweth was still unconscious, the wounds on his body were healed entirely, leaving behind some marks. Ajax nodded his head at the sight of unconscious Raweth before proceeding to check his other contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits. "Now, it''s time to check the rewards," he went to sit on his soft bed before asking the system to show him his rewards. ''Ding, Rewards from the missions the host hadpleted are shown below. ''Ding, Reward 1:- A new system feature is unlocked. ''Ding, Reward 2:- A high-grade primitive stone is stored in the host''s inventory. ''Ding, Reward 3:- A special reward box is stored in the host''s inventory. Ajax already knew the mission, which gave him these rewards, so he didn''t bother to check each mission. "High-grade primitive stone," primitive stone was nothing new to him, but a high-grade one was new, so he casually took it out from the inventory with a thought. ''Ding, Item name:- A high-grade primitive stone Use:- Increases bloodline purity. (Note:- Limited to spirit beasts only) Special effect:- A 50 percent chance to mutate. "A special effect? I think it''s because of the quality of the primitive stone, which is high," Ajax thought in his head and excited. A mid-grade primitive stone only has the effect of increasing bloodline purity, whereas this high-grade primitive stone has the chance to mutate the spirit beasts. Whenever a spirit beast mutates, then it has no opponent in the same realm, so when Ajax saw the 50 percent chance to mutate in the special effect, he was excited and wanted to try it on his twilight (Destructive twilight dragon). However, it was still in the slumber from consuming two peak rank 3 spirit beasts. But Ajax was sure it would wake very soon, as he sensed the dark elemental energy which it consumed was almost absorbed. "Special reward box," after storing the high-grade primitive stone, he took out the special reward box from the inventory. "ording to the system, all the items in the special rewards box are either high or useful, which I need most at present. Let''s see what is stored in this special box," Ajax was excited because he knew he would only get useful items from this box. ''Ding, Do you want to open the Special reward box? "Yes," Ajax replied as soon as he got the system notification. ''Ding, The host opened a Special reward box ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for getting a chance to visit the Five elemental world. (Can stay in the five elemental for ten days). "What the hell?" Seeing thetest system notification, Ajax''s eyes popped out of the sockets. "I am not going back to that ce," he dered earnestly to the system. Although he said that, he wanted to go there to cultivate because of the abundant essence of nature in that world, which was very useful to him and his elemental spirits and not to mention his spirit beasts whose strength was increased by two members. In this trip, he got not only some useful items but also two contracted spirit beasts with some high-level bloodlines, which just required some purity. As for increasing the purity of a bloodline, Ajax had no problem in it. He had toplete some missions, and he would have the chance to get some primitive stones. However, it would take some time as he doesn''t know when he could get a mission with primitive stones, and as for the mysterious reward box, he doesn''t have a hope on them. "I should not waste time," when he thought of the spirit beasts he got in the five elemental world, he suddenly thought something and summoned Snow. As soon as it came out, it hugged Ajax with its huge wings. "Snow, it''s all over, we are safe," seeing the worried Snow Ajax caressed its smooth feathers. "Snow, you should absorb the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s inheritance and be powerful, then even if the older birdmanes, we need not escape from him," Ajax slowly said while caressing the feature. ''Nods'' As if understanding with what Ajax said, she nodded her small head. "Absorb the inheritance quickly. After you absorb it, we will enter the cursed wilderness to look for my friends," Ajax slowly said to Snow to absorb the inheritance it gained from the older birdman in the ancient ruins.

150 Monster Peach

After Snow absorbed the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s inheritance, it''s strength would definitely increase by a lot. So Ajax wanted to search for his friends. Although he wasn''t sure how they were faring in the cursed Abyss, deep down, he felt that they were alive. "With Snow''s flying ability, the search will be easy," with that thought in his head, he sent Snow into the Inner World. As soon as he sent Snow into the world, Ajax thought about the thunder pool''s water. "Snow, wait for some time," he asked Snow to wait for a while and inquired the system, "System, since inner world upgraded, can I use the thunder pool''s water to construct a small pond in the inner world?" In the Five elemental world, when hepleted the ''A+'' danger rating mission, he got the reward of ''Inner World upgrade'' and a chance to select an Elemental paradise of his choice. However, he put that chance to select an element for the Elemental Paradise on hold, since he was unable to guess which one he would need most. Therefore he thought to wait until he awakened his first official elemental spirit. Previously, when he tried to create a small pond in the inner world, the system said he should first upgrade the inner world to create that. Since the inner world was upgraded now, he asked the system about creating a small pond with the thunder pool''s water. ''Ding, Yes, the inner world satisfied the required conditions for an additional elemental paradise. ''Ding, The host can use the thunder pool''s water to create the thunder elemental paradise in the inner world. "Excellent," Ajax was excited. "System, use the thunder pool''s water and create the thunder elemental paradise in the inner world." Without much dy, he ordered the system to start building the thunder elemental paradise. ''Ding, Construction of the small pool (thunder elemental paradise) has begun. ''Ding, Time left forpleting the pool:- 1 hour. "Snow, rest for one hour in the inner world, after the pool''s construction ispleted, go into the pool to absorb the inheritance," Ajax said to Snow to take some rest before it could start absorbing. Snow nodded it''s head and went to sleep in the corner of the inner world. As he looked at the sleeping Snow, his eyes unconsciously fell on a small nt with arge fruit hanging on one of its branches. "Isn''t that the nt I stored into the inner world at thest moment of escaping from the Five Elemental world," he quickly used the system to get the information on it. ''Ding, nt name:- Monster Peach Tree Description:- A tree that looks like a small nt but bears arge fruit. The tree can bear fruit every 100 years. ''Ding, Fifty units of the essence of nature per day are generated from this single nt. "What? This small tree gives that much essence of nature?" Ajax was shocked to see the amount of the essence of nature that was generated by the Monster peach tree. "It gives more than double the essence of nature whenpared to the Ability fruit tree and longevity tree" Ajax was delighted at the increased free essence of nature from the inner world. "If this tree generates that much essence of nature, then it''s fruit will be valuable, right?" he thought in his mind and checked the huge fruit hanging on one of its branches. ''Ding, Item name:- Monster Peach (unripe) Time Left to ripe:- 2 days Use:- Consuming it will allow a cultivator to break through a major realm, and when consumed by a spirit beast, it will allow the spirit beast to increase its rank by 1. Limited to:- Cultivators above the General realm or higher. (Note:-If the cultivation of the consumer is high then the effect will be less) "Woah, a whole major realm breakthrough? It''s great, but the limitation says that I can''t use it now," Ajax was excited at the use of the monster peach but disappointed at the limitation. The limitation was that only cultivators above the general realm could consume it, so Ajax sighed but didn''t bother about it as the fruit was still now ripe. After checking the fruit, he nced at the dark elemental paradise, which was empty, so he summoned his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts and quickly transferred them into the inner world. Necros and the mutated ghost eyed ck fox was the most excited as they looked at the dark elemental paradise. In contrast, the destructive twilight dragon was in the slumber, so Ajax made Necros and ghost to carry the twilight (Dragon) into the dark elemental paradise. "Now, let''s see what that new feature is ?" Ajax was excited just thinking about the new system feature. Every system feature had its own operation and helped him in one way or another. He unlocked his first system feature ''Inner word'' unknowingly, which helped him very much in the Five elemental world in hiding the Snow and Ice sparrow from the older birdman. Quest tab, which continuously generated some missions and issued rewards onpleting those missions. The luck dependent system feature ''Lottery'' did its part in helping him The most recent one was the Follower tab, which gives some free rewards whenever he manages to gain a follower. Higher the strength, character, and loyalty, then higher the reward. As such, his excitement for the new system feature increased a lot. ''Knock knock.'' Just when he was about to check it, he heard someone knocking at his door. Reluctantly, he went to open the door. "Young master, I heard you sessfully broke through multiple realms, so I came here to congratte you." In front of his room, his first follower, the Barbarian Hunter Darbaudr, congratted him with an honest face. But to Ajax, that honest face looked Cruel. If not for the following tab, he would have attacked him just by the expression on Darbaudr''s face. "Darbaudr, you came at the right time,e inside," Ajax suddenly that of an artifact he got from the older birdman while negotiating with him, and immediately called Darbaudr inside to use that artifact on him.

151 Breaking the seal

"Darbaudr, I will try to break your first seal now," Ajax said after they entered the room slowly. "Yes, young master," the Barbarian replied in respect, but just as he said those words, he shouted, "What?" "You heard it right. I said I would break your first seal on your spirit consciousness ced by some Demon Apostle or whatever he is called," Ajax replied nonchntly and took out the artifact he got from the older birdman. ''Ding, Item name:-?Seal breakerpass (Ownerless) Grade:- High-level Earth grade Uses:- 1) Can track anyone by the spirit imprint ced by the owner of this artifact on others. (Distance is directly proportional to the owner''s strength). 2) Can break any seal below the general realm strength using the essence of nature of the owner. (Note:- Single-use to break any seal will cost 5000 units of the essence of nature). Rating:- Good As soon as he took out thepass-like item from the inventory, the system notification chimed in his head. "Huh?" However, Ajax looked confused and asked the system, "System, why is it showing Ownerless?" ''Ding, The bond with its previous owner was severed when the host teleported from the Five elemental world, so now it''s ownerless. "Are you saying that I can form a new bond with it?" Ajax asked the system delightedly. A High-level Earth Grade artifact was not amon item that anyone could have, so he looked delighted. Furthermore, this artifact had two excellent uses. Although the first use was not so good for him now, he would find it useful when he reached high cultivation realms. And the other use was the one that he needed most now, which would help him break the first seal among the five seals ced on darbaudr''s spirit consciousness by the Demon Apostle. "But the required essence of nature is quite huge," However, when he looked at the second use description, he felt the cost of the essence of nature for a single use to break a seal was huge. Nevertheless, he would use it to break the seal. "System, should I just drop a blood drop on the artifact?" Ajax asked the system. He learned something about Artifacts and alchemy from Elder Boron. Once, Ajax heard from Elder Boron''s stories that a certain someone dropped blood on the high-level artifacts, and a link would be formed between them. ''Ding, Yes The system replied with a single ''Yes.'' Soon Ajax pricked his finger and dropped some blood on the artifact. ''Ding, The host formed a bond with the artifact sessfully. "That''s easy," Ajax mumbled when he saw the sess notification from the system. The Barbarian Hunter, Daubadr, looked at his young master and wondered, ''What happened to the young master? Why is he staring into the air andughing once in a while?'' "Daubadr, what are you thinking? Come here," Ajax called Daubadr, making the Barbariane out of his wandering thoughts. ''System, Spirit consciousness,'' Ajax silently thought in his mind. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 6000 units/6800 units Note:- The host can''t use the 800 units capacity of the spirit consciousness until he forms a contract with an official elemental spirit. ''Ding, Also, the Mysterious spirit consciousness''s capacity can''t be increased until the condition, as mentioned earlier, is met. "What? Why did my spirit consciousness capacity increase by that much?" After seeing the system notification, his first question was about the increment in the spirit consciousness capacity. His essence of nature was high because he cultivated and killed some spirit beast, which made him fill the spirit consciousness with 6000 units. ''Ding, When host breakthrough in his body cultivation, his spirit capacity increases depending on his body''s strength. ''Ding, For every level host breakthroughs in themander realm in body cultivation, his spirit consciousness capacity will be increased by the 200 units. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and proceeded with breaking the seal. He held the seal breakerpass in his hand and injected 5000 units of the essence of nature into the artifact. Although the process was slow, Ajax finished injecting the essence of nature in a few minutes. ''Ding, ce the seal breakingpass in the Barbarian hunter Darbaudr''s hand. Unexpectedly he got a system notification making him confused. However, he followed its words. As soon as he ced the seal breakerpass in Darbaudr''s hands, the stored essence of nature in it directly entered into his body along with some powerful energy that was rushing towards his spirit consciousness. "Darbaudr, bear with the pain," seeing the pained look on Darbaudr''s face, Ajax encouraged him to bear the pain. The essence of nature, mixed with the powerful energy, hit the seal that was at the entrance of his spirit consciousness. When the powerful energy collided with the barrier on the entrance of the spirit consciousness, Darbaudr howled in pain. "Darbaudr, you can do it," Ajax continuously encouraged him. Seeing the encouraging Ajax, Darbaudr gritted his teeth and stood up with all his might. The powerful energy and the essence of nature continuously mmed against the barrier (first seal). After ramming for some time, finally, the barrier was broken, and Darbaudr gasped for air as he fell on his back. ''Ding, Mission name:- Help the follower (1/5) The host sessfully broke the first seal on his follower''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, A mid-grade primitive stone is stored in the host''s inventory as the reward for breaking the first seal. ''Ding, Continue breaking more seals to get higher rewards. "A mid-grade primitive stone? Okay, not bad," as Ajax needed primitive stones for his spirit beasts, he was satisfied with the simple reward. "I think the rewards will increase as the seals level increases," Ajax motivation to remove the seals also increased with the rewards. Ajax nced at the Darbaudr, who was gasping for air while sitting on the floor. ''Ding, Since the first seal is removed from the Darbaudr, his cultivation is now increased to the level 5 general realm. Ajax was waiting for this system notification as he already knew that once he breaks the seal, his follower''s cultivation will be increased a little. ''Once I remove all the seals ced on his spirit consciousness, wouldn''t I have an almost King?realm cultivator as a follower?'' Ajax thought of his future with a peak King realm follower.

152 Elemental Paradise

However, he soon shook his head. As he knew that breaking the seals was not an easy matter, and it would take a long time for him. "Unless I got lucky, I can''t break the seals anywhere near the future," Ajax felt content for now as he had a general realm cultivator as a follower. "Darbaudr, go and take some rest. While you are at it, stabilize your regained cultivation," he said to the barbarian who was gasping for air, but on Darbaudr''s face, there was an excited look. "Sure, Young master," the barbarian nodded and stood up to leave the room. As soon as he opened the door, Ajax and Darbaudr saw Edmond, and the rest of the squad members wereing towards his room. "Ajax, what happened? We heard some painful noises. Did anyone try to assassinate you?" Edmond asked with concern. Lewis and others also looked at him and Darbaudr with worried faces. The assassination was not an umon thing in this Dog eat dog world. Whenever a genius appears, there would be countless families and sects trying to recruit that genius into their familiar or sects. If the recruitment fails, then they would go for an assassination. Since everyone from the Royal capital and top families knows that Ajax and Paulin were the geniuses who got invitations to the Champion''s contest, those main families and sects would go to any length to either recruit them or assassinate them. "No, it''s just that Darbaudr had a sudden breakthrough in his cultivation. During the process, he was unable to bear the pain. But it''s alright now since he sessfully broke through to the general realm," Ajax exined, slowly hiding the seals and everything rted to Darbaudr''s past. "It''s good," Edmond heaved a sigh as there was no assassination attempt and observed Darbaudr. ''Weird, why am I not able to sense his cultivation?'' Edmond silently thought in his head and wondered why he was unable to sense Darbaudr''s cultivation. Edmond was puzzled because, in general, he should have sensed the cultivation of a general realm cultivator. However, he was now unable to detect it. "What? he broke through to the general realm?" Lewis and Jeff shouted at Ajax in unison. As they were with Ajax when he bought Darbaudr from the auction za, they knew how much he invested and how he broke that contract stone. However, Ajax not only got a loyal follower but a general realm one at that. "Why is his luck always good?" Lewis and Jeff once again said in unison with an envy look on their faces. "Okay, stopining about luck and continue to work hard," Edmond smacked on Lewis''s head, whereas Udo hit Jeff''s head. "Congrattions, Darbaudr," Unlike them, Paulin congratted the barbarian politely. Darbaud replied politely; however, it sounded somewhat crude. Still, no one didn''t take it wrongly as they already knew that Barbarians had a harsh voice. "Good night, Ajax" Soon, everyone left Ajax and Darbaudr alone. "Thanks, young master for helping me break the seal," After everyone left, Darbaudr bowed to Ajax respectfully. "It''s nothing, just stabilize your cultivation for now," Ajax shook his head and left to his room. Just as he entered his room, he got a system notification. ''Ding, The construction of a mini thunder pool ispleted. ''Ding, Please check out more information from the inner world system feature. "Wonderful," Ajax was excited at the notification and quickly looked into the inner world. At one corner of the inner world, he saw a small circr pond with lightning arcs above the water''s surface. "Let''s check it," He focused on the small pond. Soon he got a system notification informing about the small pond. ''Ding, Item Name:- Mini thunder pool Elemental paradise:- Lightning and Thunder (Grade 1) Description:- A grade 1 elemental paradise that will help thunder and lightning elemental spirits and spirit beast in cultivating. Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of the same element spirit beasts and elemental spirits. 2) Increases the cultivation speed by twice 3) Continuous staying in the pool and drinking the mini thunder pool''s water can increase the bloodline and strength. Note:- The construction is based on the original structure of the Thunder pool. "Everything is good, but it''s only Grade 1? Does it mean I can increase the grade of the elemental paradise?" After reading everything, Ajax nodded his head, but the word Grade 1 in the elemental paradise section caused him a puzzle. So he quickly turned to look at the dark elemental paradise. ''Ding, Item Name:- Mini Dark Abyss Elemental paradise:- Dark and its sub-attributes (Grade 2) Description:- A grade 2 elemental paradise which will help Dark and its rted elemental spirits and spirit beast in cultivating. Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of the same elemental spirit beasts and elemental spirits. 2) Increases the cultivation speed by three times 3) Continuous staying in the mini dark abyss can increase the bloodline and strength of beings mentioned above. Note:- It is a mini version of the Dark Abyss in the Dark realm. "Huh? It''s grade 2?" Ajax confused at the grade difference between the two Elemental paradises in the Inner World. But he quickly found the reason for the higher grade in the Mini Dark Abyss. "I think it''s from the dark energy that the system collected from the bodies of Snow and Ice sparrow," Ajax understood how he should increase the elemental paradise''s grade. That dark energy was from the older birdman, which was injected by him for some unknown reasons. Later that energy was taken out from their bodies, and by themand of Ajax, the system used it to increase the mini dark abyss'' grades. "Snow, your cultivation pool ispleted, now all you have to do is absorb the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s inheritance and improve your cultivation as much as you can," Ajax quickly said to Snow, which was in the inner world through the contract. Snow nodded her head and rushed into the pool to start its cultivation. She felt utterly hopeless in the five elemental world and couldn''t do anything to help its master, which caused her to focus on her cultivation so that she could help her master in the future. With that thought, she closed her eyes and started absorbing the inheritance in her body while standing in the mini thunder pool.

153 New System Feature

After settling Snow and other beings that could be cultivated in the Elemental paradise he currently had, Ajax sat on his soft bed and opened the user interface to check the new system feature. ''Ding, The new system feature ''Battle Hall'' is unlocked. Use the System guide to know more about it. "It has some cool name," Ajax used the system guide thates whenever a new system feature is unlocked. As soon as he used it, the information rting to the Battle Hall came to his head. ''Ding, System feature:- Battle Tower (Level) Description:- A ce where the host can send his elemental spirits or spirit beasts and as well as himself to battle the monsters that are guarding a specific room. Whenever a monster guarding the room is defeated, there is a small chance to learn one of its skills. This Battle tower is mainly used for improving the battle experience of an individual. Rewards:- A special reward will be given to the host whenever a level of the tower is cleared by himself or his team. Note:- 1) Only an individual can participate at a time. 2) Once an individual who participated in clearing the Battle Tower dies, He/she will be teleported out of the Battle Tower. 3) Only one entry per month for an individual. "Woah! I didn''t see thising," Ajax didn''t expect the new system feature would be rted to improving his battle skills. He carefully read the lengthy description not to miss any important point. "Hmm," Ajax quickly understood the working of the ''battle tower'' system feature. He already knew about the ''Battle Tower.'' As it was a standard training artifact in every main family and the sect to increase their young elites battle techniques and battle experience. So, already pretty much rted this feature to it. However, whenpared to other Battle towers, his battle tower has two main advantages. The first advantage was, it had a small chance to impart a battle skill of the monster of a specific room after it was defeated. The second advantage was, For every level of the tower he cleared, he would be bestowed a reward by the system. Although the sects and the main families also give rewards for those whopleted a specific level, how could their rewards bepared with the Almighty system? "System, how many levels are there in total and the number of rooms per each level," Ajax asked as he didn''t know about his Battle Tower. ''Ding, In level 1, it has ten rooms. ''Ding, The host needs to improve his strength to know about the number of levels in the Battle Tower. "Oh Almighty system, can''t you just say it," he asked the system, but he got no reply from the system. Ajax shook his head and stopped pleading. ''I think this system has some motive behind his every action,'' Ajax thought as he pondered about all the system features he was gettingtely. For example, the follower tab was to increase his followers as though it was preparing me for something in the future. And Quest tab forced him to learn Alchemy. ''I wonder, how did I get this system?'' this question always lingered in his head. He asked system about its origins many times, but the reply he always got was, ''Ding, The host''s strength is still not sufficient. Please improve your strength to know about the system. So, after getting no useful information from the system, he stopped bothering about its origins. "Should I try the first room of the Battle Tower level?" but quickly, he changed his mind to take some rest before challenging the Battle Tower. As he was dead tired from the past few days (But in reality it''s only 10 hours) he wanted to sleep on hisfortable bed which he missed for a while. He went through a lot in the Five elemental world, which made him tired, and he just wanted to take a good rest for this night. "Instead, I can send one of the spirit beasts or elemental spirits" As he rested on the bed, he thought of an idea to send someone to test the waters in the Battle Tower. ''Who should I send,'' Ajax didn''t think much as he directly selected his present strongest elemental spirit ''Volcanis'' who had the cultivation strength of the level 8 Elemental spiritmander. "System, I want to use the new system feature ''Battle Tower,''" he asked the system after settling in hisfortable bed. ''Ding, Activating the Battle Tower ''Ding, Please select a participant. Two system notifications chimed in his head as the information appeared in front of his eyes on a holographic screen. "I select Volcanis," Ajax replied while stretching his body as though he was stopping his sleep. ''Ding, Fire elemental spirit Volcanis will be transported to the Level 1 of the Battle Tower. ''Ding, Host, do you want to watch the fight between your elemental spirit and the monster guarding the room in level 1 of the tower? "I can watch? Let me see it then," His previous tiredness was gone as he wanted to watch the battle before going to sleep. Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him. On the screen, Ajax looked at the Volcanis, who was opening a massive door that lookedrge and sturdy. Ajax already exined Volcanis about the battle tower. As he learned about the Battle Tower, Volcanis interest piqued as he thirsted for strength and wanted to improve his battle techniques and skills, so that he could help his master in the future. After what happened in the five elemental world, everyone, including both spirit beasts and elemental spirits thirst for strength, has improved. Especially Volcanis, who had a very proud bearing around him, wanted nothing but power and should not escape from an enemy with a tail between his legs. As soon as he opened the doors, Ajax was awed by the environment inside the room. The entire ground in the room was covered by mud with sharp spiky rocks pointed out from the mud. Amidst the muddy ground and spiky stones, a colossal monster looked like a boar with a long, blunt snout, small eyes, and two sharp tusks that were extremely ck. Its entire body was covered by a thick hide, which made it look like it was wearing some armor. Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 154: Terrifying Skill

154 Terrifying Skill

''Growl'' As soon as the Boar-monster saw the iing Volcanis, he stood up from the mud and rushed towards him with a loud growl. Volcanis stopped in his tracks and positioned himself on the mud to face it ahead. The reason he didn''t use his skills directly was he wanted to improve hisbat experience. Just when Boar-monster was about to m him with its two huge pointy tusks, Volcanis caught it. That didn''t stop the boar, though. It only slowed its iing speed. Even though Volcanis caught the tusks, he was continuously forced by the boar monster. As the ground was muddy, Volcanis didn''t find any support, so he was forced back slowly. "That boar is huge," Ajax, who was watching the fight on the holographic screen, eximed when he saw the huge boar of more than 2 meters in height. "System, can I see the information on the monster," Ajax asked as he wanted to know what that monster was called. ''Ding, Monster name:- Horned Nether Hog. Strength:- Low-grade Rank 4 Soon, he got a system notification about the name and strength of the monster. "So, it''s called Horned Nether Hog," Ajax remembered the name of the monster. "Maybe the skills of that hog are not disyed because I have to find them myself. If disyed, I will be alert, and the whole point of the Battle Tower concept will be lost," Ajax quickly concluded that the system didn''t give any information other than the name and strength of the monster. Soon, he focused on the battle on the holographic screen. With each passing second, Volcanis was continuously forced back and was about to be pressed into a wall. As soon as he touched the wall, Volcanis used his Inferno skill, which raised the mes on his body and increased his strength. He gathered all the firepower into his hand and burned the tusks of the Horned Nether Hog. Even though its tusks were burning, it was entirely focused on mming Volcanis in the wall. Seeing that hog was not stopping its attack, Volcanic used his second attack ''Fire asteroid.'' As it sensed some danger, the hog dodged sidewards missing the fire asteroid, whichnded on his earlier position. "You have some keen senses. Otherwise, you would have burned to death, Hahaha" Although Volcanis was not a match for it in body force, with his skills, he could easily kill the hog. The fire asteroid he used earlier had the chance to quickly burn it to death as it was boosted by the two of his other skills. One was the boost from his King of Fire, which was a passive skill, and the other was from Inferno, which boosted his overall attack power, movement speed, and defense power. After dodging the fire asteroid, the Hog knew it met a power challenger, so it directly went to its powerful attack, which was ''Call of the Brethren.'' ''Growls growls'' As soon as it used the skill, many Horned Nether Hogs came out of the mud, with each having a peak rank 3 strength. All hogs rushed towards Volcanis with their basic skill ''m.'' "What?" Volcanis, and Ajax, who watched the fight on the holographic screen, shouted at the same time. Before Volcanis could do anything, he was surrounded by the many Hogs. Although he killed the ones in the front rows, he was overpowered by the number of the hogs that were rushing towards him. After being surrounded by them, Volcanis died miserably and got teleported out of the room and appeared in front of Ajax. Ajax looked at the fire elemental spirit in front of him, who looked tired and said, "You did well. However, the monster unexpectedly used a powerful skill." "But, I should have..." Before Volcanins could evenplete his sentence. He was interrupted by the Ajax, "No need to worry, you will get another chance in the next month until then improve your strength and as for now take some rest." "Sure master," Volcanis nodded his head in agreement and entered into the inner world to practice his skills. ''There monster looked stronger than regr low-grade rank 4 spirit beast,'' Ajax pondered the strength of the monster and continued his thinking, "However, thatst skill is way too powerful." He was shocked at the ability to summon that many monsters with peak rank 3 strength. ''It summoned more than 100 monsters,'' Ajax was utterly in awe with that ability. Soon he shook his and went to sleep. Before sleeping, he didn''t forget to check on Raweth, who was still unconscious. ...¡­ At some unknown location, "Ancestor, we found a boy in the Goldcrest town, but we are not sure about him as the one form the silver orphanage though," A middle-aged man replied to a skeleton-looking old man who was covered in dark energy with his eyes closed. "Why?" the old man in a ck robe opened his eyes and replied. "Because he has the cultivation ofmander realm and I think the child from the Silver orphanage can''t be that powerful in a very short time, so I am thinking of calling off the bounty we ced on his head," the middle-aged man replied with a face full of respect and sweat-drenched back. "Hahaha," the skeleton-like old manughed loudly before continuing, "Once the item integrates with the boy, the power he obtains is unimaginable. He will continue to grow stronger and stronger." The middle-aged man was shocked by the old man''s words and thought, ''Is that item that powerful?'' "You fool, you don''t know it''s value yet. If you suspect him even a little, kill him before the item fully integrates with him." the ck-robed old man replied to the middle-aged man''s inner words. "I will do as you say, ancestor," His words caused a hint of panic in the middle-aged man and quickly stood up. "Remember one thing; this matter has to be dealt with absolute secrecy, if those damn organizations know about the item, they will go to an all-out war against us for hiding about the information of that item," before the middle-aged man even left the room, the old man who was called Ancestor, said in his eerie voice which caused another shock wave in the middle-aged man''s heart. "What? Just for hiding some information, they will go to an all-out war against us?" the middle-aged man abruptly stopped in his tracks and asked his Ancestor with a shock on his face.

155 Awakened Raweth

ording to the middle-aged man, the organisations which would not even bother about the appearance of High-level Heaven Grade artifacts, but now the item that was mentioned by the Ancestor would cause an all-out war. Just imagining it made the middle-aged man shudder. "What do you think of that item? Just find that I will exin about it in detail," the Ancestor closed his eyes entering back into his cultivation. The middle-aged man nodded his head as he left the room silently. ''I have to find that item,'' he continuously muttered in his head as he left the room. After he left, the Ancestor who closed his eyes earlier opened once again. Those eyes were filled with killing intent, but he closed once again while muttering something. .... Next day, "Ajax, are you in there?" A loud voice woke up Ajax from his peaceful sleep making him irritated. However, he opened the door as he already knew who was shouting at him in the very morning. "Lewis, why the hell you are shouting that loud in the morning," Ajax said to Lewis, who looked excited as usual. "I am here to deliver Captian Edmond''s words. If you don''t want to hear, then I will get going now," Lewis shook his head as he turned to leave. "Wait wait wait" Ajax quickly stopped the leaving Lewis and requested politely, "Oh Almighty Lewis, please say what Captian Edmond asked you to say." "Thay''s better," Lewis proudly turned back and motioned his hand while saying, "I will say the words but just stay some distance away from me." "He said that you should cultivate in your room until your weekly spar with senior brother Paulin starts," once he said that, Lewis ran off into his room without turning back. "You," Ajax attentively listened to his words, but when he heard Lewis''s words, he was bbergasted. He thought that it was something essential but little did he know that Lewis just fooled him once again to wake him early. This was not the first time for Ajax to be fooled by Lewis, so he shook his head and went back to his room. His earlier sleepiness disappeared into thin air after he entered the room. ''Should I improve my strength now? Or wait sometime before upgrading it?'' He thought of the energy orbs which he obtained from the system afterpleting the ''A'' and ''A+'' danger rating mission in the five elemental world. From the ''A+'' rating mission, he got an energy orb which could increase his cultivation level by three minor realms whereas the energy orb he got from the other mission could improve a single minor realm. Although he could increase his body cultivation by the four minor realms using these two orbs, he feared Edmond would think about him as a demonic cultivator. Earlier, he saw the coldness in Udo''s eyes when he looked at him, so he quickly rted that Udo already suspected him as a demonic cultivator. However, Edmond smiled as usual, and there was no change in his expression when he talked with him. ''Sigh...Increasing the cultivation was also not good these days,'' Ajax sighed as he said that. After pondering for a moment, he finally concluded that he would use that energy orbs when he was in danger until then he let him store in his spirit consciousness. "Hm... Snow also has some essence gem particles in her body right?" Suddenly he thought of the essence gem particles in the body of Snow which were given to her by the older birdman in the ancient ruins. However, seeing that Snow was immersed in absorbing the inheritance in the Mini thunder pool, he didn''t disturb it andid down on his bed. As heid on his bed, he felt a movement in his inner world. He checked into the inner world and saw that Raweth woke up from his unconscious state. He summoned him out of the inner world to introduce himself. As soon as he was summoned, Raweth looked at his surroundings in confusion as he didn''t know how he got here and bowed to Ajax immediately. He still remembered one thing, a human ced his hand on him and did something to him, which was why he could survive the crisis he was facing back in the five elemental world. So, when he looked at the same human who saved him back then, he bowed to him sincerely. "Hey, what are you doing?" Ajax quickly stopped Raweth from bowing. However, Raweth was dead set on showing his gratitude for saving him. "Where am I? Can you show me the direction to the Fire crow tribe?" As bowing, Raweth asked slowly, checking his surroundings. Hearing his words, Ajax was bbergasted and looked at him puzzledly before exining, "We are not in the Five elemental world." "What?" hearing Ajax''s words, Raweth was shocked and asked quickly, "Where are we then?" "We are in a Zrochester province of the Human world," Ajax revealed the province name slowly which caused panic in Raweth. "How to go back to my tribe? My little brother is waiting for me there. He is very sick, and I have to take care of him. Please can you send me back?" Raweth quickly asked Ajax to let him send back to the Five elemental to see his little brother. "Sorry, I can''t send you back at the moment, and even if we go back there, it will be a suicide for us," Ajax said with a bitter smile on his face. Although he had a chance to go back to the five elemental world, he could not go back there to die in the hands of the older birdman. "Please, my little brother has only a year or so to live, please do something. After my brother passes away, I will be a ve to you," Raweth kneeled and mmed his head onto the floor. Seeing the kneeling Raweth, Ajax felt something in his heart. He didn''t have any blood rtives, but he knew the feeling of losing someone close to you as he lost his brothers from the Silver orphanage, living with only a hope that they were alive. But in Raweth''s case, it''s a blood rtive, who would die soon but was unable to see him in hisst few days. ''What a pity,'' Ajax wanted to help him, but if he entered into the five elemental world, he would die. Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 156: New Mission

156 New Mission

As he was pondering about what to do, he got a system notification. ''Ding, A new mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check the quest tab. "As expected, the notification came sooner than expected," Ajax already had a feeling that he would get a system mission rting to Raweth''s little brother. ''Ding, Mission name:- Save Raweth''s brother. Description:- Raweth''s little brother has a unique health problem, which needs to be treated immediately. ording to this world''s time, he can only leave for not more than 16 days. Note:- As the host has low strength, the system will be giving an item for the mission. Reward:- A Mysterious reward box. Danger rating:- B Time limit:- 3 days Mission Failure:- Raweth''s death. Note:- 1) The host need not use his reward of the ten-day stay in the five elemental world. 2) The host can return to his original world whenever he wants. "What?" Ajax was shocked. He was not shocked by the mission rting to Raweth''s little brother, and he was shocked by the Danger rating as it had only a ''B'' rating and the mission failure was not aiming at him; instead, it was Raweth''s death that caused various doubts in him. ''I think, maybe it''s rted to the Notes below the Mission failure,'' Ajax silently thought in his head. "I will help you. Now get up," Before checking the item given by the system, he promised Raweth and asked him to stand up from the floor. ''Ding, Item name:- A level 3 Strength potion (Quest item) Description:- It helps the user or his elemental spirits to increase their strength by three major realms for 10 minutes. Limitation:- strength can''t be increased beyond peak elite general realm. Side effect:- The consumer will be in a weakened state for a month. "Woah! A three major realm increment in the state," Ajax excited seeing the item given by the system. "Although there is a side effect, it''s not a bad exchange for a three major realm increment in the strength," he was very much satisfied with the level 3 strength portion. ''I didn''t even use my level 1 strength portion, but now I got another one which is much better than it,'' he thought about the old strength portion in his inventory and shook his head at theparison. "We will go after some preparation, until then cultivate in my inner world," as he said, Ajax threw a small ball at Raweth. Although he didn''t understand Ajax''s exact words, Raweth caught the red and ck coloured energy ball which Ajax threw at him. As he observed the energy orb in his hand, Raweth was shocked and asked Ajax, "How did you get this?" "From that older birdman who was trying to kill you," Ajax replied and continued speaking, "You don''t need to worry about your little brother, I will help you save him but before that just absorb the remaining inheritance along with your earlier half inheritance and improve your strength." "Thanks, I will not forget your favour, sir," Raweth replied with a bow. Ajax nodded his head and quickly sent him into the inner world to cultivate. "What the hell just happened now? I summoned him out to introduce myself and exin about the contract, but the whole situation changed to what was not expected," Ajax shook his head and sighed bitterly. Raweth still doesn''t know that he had already formed a contract with Ajax and his life was already in Ajax''s hands. However Ajax was softened by the pleas of Raweth for his little brother and along with the system mission, he was eventually epted for Raweth''s request. He didn''t bother to exin to him about the contract. "Whatever, since I can return whenever I want, why not try another trip to the Five elemental world?" Ajax thought after pondering his present situation. Since he now had two powerful trump cards, he wanted to aplish the mission with the worst reward in his opinion. His first trump card was the quest item, level 3 strength potion, which could increase the strength of the consumer by three major realms. And another one, which was the most important one, that he could return whenever he wanted. "Should I go after my weekly spar with senior brother Paulin tomorrow or should I wait until I sessfully contract my first official elemental spirit which is in two days?" Ajax thought of his trip to the five elemental world and finally concluded to visit after his awakening. "Putting aside these things, how can I improve the cultivation of it and Spirus?" After deciding about the five elemental world trip, he nned about his elemental spirits cultivation. "I should try to improve the cultivation of it first. Otherwise, I can''t summon him in tomorrow''s fight," Ajax worried about summoning it tomorrow as he had the cultivation of the peak elite elemental spirit soldier and that might cause Paulin suspicious of him. Because if he used the elementalmander realm spirit stone, how could he still stay at the peak elite elemental spirit soldier realm? So Ajax could only summon it if he reached the Elemental spiritmander realm. Amidst his thoughts, Ajax suddenly remembered the partial elemental spiritmander stone he had in the inventory. Soon he summoned it and took out that partialmander spirit stone. "it, let''s try to improve your strength," Ajax don''t know how much could he increase it''s strength, but I might help me at least break through the barrier and let him enter the elemental spiritmander realm. The logic behind his theory was, an intact elementalmander spirit stone could help an Elemental spirit increase its strength from the level 1 elite spirit soldier to level 1 Elemental spiritmander. Since it was at the peak of the elite spiritmander, the broken elemental spirit stone should be enough for him to break through to the elementalmander realm. "Nods" As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, the little chubby it nodded his head vigorously. "System, use this broken elemental¡­," before he could finish his words, he suddenly got an idea which made him stop his words. "What, if I try that. I think it will increase his chances even more for the elevation of his strength," Ajax muttered as he thought about something.

157 Earth Clone

Ajax quickly took out some mini thunder pool''s water in a bowl. Without wasting any time, he kept the broken (Partial) elemental spirit stone in the bowl. Just like how the essence gem dissolved, the elemental spirit stone also dissolved within no time. The water in the bowl shined even brighter than before he dissolved the elemental stone. Seeing this, Ajax was delighted. "it, quickly drink this water, it will help you increase your strength and ¡­.," The chubby it didn''t even listen to Ajax''s words before taking the bowl into his hands and quickly drank without wasting a single drop. With his actions, Ajax simply smiled a little. After he finished drinking, he sat down on the floor and began absorbing the energy that was just entered into his body through the water. Slowly the energy surrounding him began rising, and with a ''pop'' sound, the barrier that was obstructing him from entering the elemental spiritmander realm broke with the powerful energy''s rush. "Sess," Ajax overjoyed with it''s breakthrough to the spiritmander realm. "It''s easier than I thought," Ajax didn''t imagine that the breakthrough would be that simple. Waves after waves of powerful energy emitted from the it as his cultivation increased rapidly. ".." Ajax was speechless with happiness and continued to observe the changes in the chubby it who became even chubbier. His light brown coloured body became dark brown looking just like a sandman with chubby cheeks. As the cultivation of it''s was increasing, he sensed some people outside his door. He already knows who they were and why they stood in front of his room. Ajax waited some time for the cultivation speed of it''s to slow down. it broke through one realm after another easily and sessfully reached level 3. When he broke through to level 3 of the elemental spiritmander realm, his cultivation speed became slow, but still, it''s increasing slowly. Finally, his increment stopped at peak level 3 of the spiritmander realm. However, it was still closing his eyes. He immediately checked it''s information through the system. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- it Element type:- Earth Cultivation:- Level 3 Elemental spiritmander Skills:- Sand Dunes (Level 3), Earth shield (Level 2), Earth clone (Level 1). As usual, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with it''s information. Ajax skipped everything as he knew everything except for the new skill ''Earth Clone''. He focused on the Skill, soon another system notification came. ''Ding, Skill Name:-?Earth Clone (Level 1) Description:- When this Skill is used, a clone which looks exactly like that of the user which has 80 percent of his original strength for 30 minutes. Cool down time:- One hour Conditions to reach level 2:- 1) Need 1000 units to the essence of nature. 2) Skill should be cast 100 times Ajax nodded his head which was not overly powerful nor weak. ''As for upgrading it, it will take time,'' Ajax didn''t have any thought of upgrading the Skill, so he left it for the future. Without disturbing it, Ajax slowly opened his door and came out of the room. "Ajax, did your contracted elemental spirit breakthrough to the Elemental Spirit Commander realm?" Paulin was the first one to ask Ajax about the earlier energy from his room. He recognized the energy which came out of Ajax''s room earlier as he felt simr energy when his elemental spirit broke through to Elemental spiritmander. So, he excitedly asked as he was the one to fight with Ajax tomorrow in their weekly fight. "Yes," Ajax replied smilingly. "Great, let''s go all out in tomorrow''s spar," Paulin was rarely this excited, which made Ajax puzzled at his odd behaviour. "Ajax, don''t lose tomorrow''s spar, I have a surprise for the winner," Edmond looked at Paulin before he said these words to Ajax. "I will win in tomorrow''s spar, Captain Edmond," Ajax''s motivation to fight increased after hearing Edmond''s words as he replied confidently. "Ajax let me see your elemental spirit," Lewis tried to enter into the room to see it but stopped by Edmond with his single hand. "Captian Edmond, let me go," Lewis cried as he shouted at Edmond. "You will see in tomorrow''s fight," Edmond chided Lewis and turned to Ajax and said, "I will watch your fight, don''t make me feel bored". Edmond already sensed that Ajax''s elemental spirit was stabilizing its cultivation, so he stopped Lewis from entering Ajax''s room. After saying his words, Edmond and his squad members left for their rooms. Ajax returned back to his room to rest. However, a sudden system notification came, which shocked him. ''Ding, Congrattions, your earth elemental spirit, it gained a single skill upgrade for using the elemental spiritmander stone that was mixed with the mini thunder pool''s water. ''Ding, With the Skill upgrade, any of his skills can be levelled up by a single level. "There is something like this?" Ajax was happy and immediately chose to level up it''s second skill ''Earth Shield''. The reason he chose this Skill was hecked a powerful defending skill at the moment. He had many spirit beasts and Elemental spirits to fight alongside him, but none of them had a good defending skill which could defend some powerful attack, so he didn''t think much over his skills. ''Ding, it''s second Skill ''Earth''s shield'' levelled up to Level 3. ''Ding, Skill name:- Earth''s shield (level 3) Description:- A?giant earth shield will be formed after casting this Skill. As long as the elemental spirit is connected to the ground, the shield can''t be destroyed for 30 minutes. There is a 50 percent chance to deflect the attacking from the opponent having one major realm higher than the elemental spirit. As for the same realm opponent, it''s a 100 percent chance to deflect. Cool down time:- one hour (System note:- If the attacker has the strength higher than the elemental spirit by two major realms, then the shield can be damaged easily) "Hahahaha," As soon as he read the skill description, Ajax startedughing like a maniac. ''With this skill, no one from the same realm can do a thing to me,'' Ajax thought amidst hisugh. After some time, it finally woke up from his cultivation with an excited look on his chubby face. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 158: Be

"Come on, it. Show me your human form," Seeing it waking up from his cultivation, Ajax asked him to transform into his human form. "Sure," Nodding his head, it closed his eyes and concentrated on his transformation. Within a few seconds, his transparent body turned real with a blinding light around his body. After the blinding light subsided, Ajax saw the final form of it. it looked like a ten years old boy with baby skin and chubby cheeks which made Ajax pinch them. "it, you are so cute," while pinching it''s cheeks, Ajax said to him with a smile on his face. "Ouch...It hurts," it quickly freed himself from Ajax''s hand and cried while holding his cheeks in his hands. Seeing the crying it, Ajax stopped his pinching and apologised to it. Only after apologising, it finally calmed down. "it, rest well. Tomorrow we have a battle which we should win, okay?" Ajax told it to rest while exining the details for tomorrow''s battle. "Okay," guarding his cheeks, it reverted to his spirit form and entered into the inner world. Seeing his action, Ajax lightly shook his head while holding back his urge to pinch his cheeks again. "I will cultivate to gather some essence of nature into my spirit consciousness until tomorrow then," As hepleted all things, for now, he wanted to cultivate to fill his spirit consciousness. Soon he entered into cultivation with spirit stones in his hand. After his cultivation reached Level 4 of themander realm, his cultivation speed at which his absorption of the essence of nature from the surroundings also increased by a huge margin. Along with the Heaven and earth elemental refining technique, the absorption speed became very fast. Without knowing, he spent a whole day in the cultivation, and he only woke up the next morning with a bright look in his eyes. "System, how many hours did I cultivate this time?", Ajax asked the system about the time. It was a usual thing for him to ask the system about his cultivation time. ''Ding, The host spent a whole 24 hours in seclusion this time. "What? I spent the whole day?" Ajax was shocked as this was his first time spending a full day in the cultivation (gaining the essence of nature). Previously his highest time for spending in cultivation without stopping in the middle was 12 hours, but now the duration directly became doubled. "It''s good," Ajax thought it was a good thing, because as the time for his cultivation increases, then that means his foundations were very stable. "I have to get ready soon and go to the ground for the weekly spar Senior brother Paulin," with that Ajax quickly entered his bathroom and freshened up quickly. ¡­. In the training ground behind the Hazegroove mercenary squad''s residence, Edmond and Udo were sitting under a tree as he looked at the Ajax and Paulin who were warming up his muscles before the fight. As for Lewis and Jeff, they sat under another tree with some snacks in their hands. "Jeff, let''s bet on who will win. What do you say?" Lewis asked as he ate some snacks. "If you don''t go back on your bet likest time, why not?" Jeff snorted at Lewis. "Sure, I bet my 1000 spirit stones on Paulin, is that okay with you?" Lewis cunningly looked at Jeff. "Hmm...what is the ratio then?" Jeff was no fool as he knew what Lewis was thinking, but he acted as he took the bait after pondering for some time. "Of course 1:1," Lewis righteously said with a serious look on his face. "Then keep your spirit stones with you then" Jeff scoffed at Lewis and turned his attention to the ground which looked peaceful at that moment. "What?" "1:2, if Ajax wins I will give double the amount you ced, what do you say?" Lewis hurriedly increased the ratio for Ajax as he had full confidence in Paulin. "I have 500 spirit stones at the moment if Ajax wins give me 2000 spirit stones otherwise no need for any bets," Jeff continued his act as he already knew what Lewis would do next. "Okay, for you I will painfully ept the ratio," Lewis looked sad, but inside he felt overjoyed at the free 500 spirit stones. "But, I want to keep our deposit in the hands of Captain Edmond; otherwise, you will go back on your bet just like thest time," Jeff slowly added a condition to their bet. Hearing Jeff''s suggestion, Lewis instantly agreed. He was sure he would get those spirit stones back anyway and ced his deposit of 2000 spirit stones along with Jeff''s 500 spirit stones in Captian Edmond''s hands and returned to their ce to watch the spar between Ajax and Paulin. ''Just wait for some time, Lewis, you will cry for your 2000 spirit stones,'' Simrly, Jeff smiled in his heart looking at Lewis who had a smile on his face from time to time. Seeing his son fool Lewis, Udo shook his head as he was the one who said that Ajax had a 70 percent chance to win the fight with Paulin, yesterday. "Looks like Lewis will be crying for sometime after this Spar," Whereas Edmond had a smile on his face as he watched Ajax and Paulin. Although he knew Paulin was not weaker, he felt Ajax had more hidden skills under his sleeve. Moreover, he thought that Ajax seems very different from the time they met in the edge of the cursed abyss to now, where his strength reached level 4 of themander realm. "Sigh¡­," so he remembered someone when he looked at Ajax and sighed. But soon his face was filled with hatred for a moment. "Udo, how''s our mission doing so far?" All of a sudden, Edmond asked Udo about some mission calming his hatred. "It''s going better than we expected and we need only four more months or so before itpletes," Udo answered in a whisper that only Edmond could hear. "Still four months? From the actions of sects and main families, we don''t have that much time. Speed up the process; we need toplete that mission before the Champion''s league starts. Do you understand?" Edmond was not satisfied with Udo''s reply and asked him to speed up the process. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 159: Weekly Spar 1

159 Weekly Spar 1

Although it sounded like an order, Udo knew that Edmond was worried some unforeseen events would disrupt his n, so Udo nodded his head as he wouldplete his mission as quickly as possible. "Ajax, are you ready?" Paulin asked Ajax after he finished his warm-up. "I am always ready, senior brother Paulin," Ajax replied with a confident look in his eyes as he stretched his body. "If you are ready, then why the hell are you waiting. Start the fight already," Udo''s loud voice was heard by Ajax and Paulin. "Let''s start then," as soon as he said that Paulin rushed at Ajax like a rank 3 spirit cheetah. Spirit cheetahs were a special type of spirit beasts which were called as Fastest beasts in their own realm, and no other spirit beasts could bepared with them. "Come on," Ajax entirely focused his eyes on the rushing Paulin whose speed was breakneck. "If this is your full speed, then I am disappointed," Even though Paulin''s speed was breakneck, Ajax was able to keep track of his opponents movements. "Swish" As he was keeping track of the Paulin''s movements, Paulin disappeared from his sight and appeared behind him and punched him. "" Ajax didn''t expect that Paulin''s speed would be increased by that much all of a sudden and was unable to dodge his punch. After receiving the punch form Paulin, he was sted 10-12 meters while rolling on the ground with the impact from the punch. "Are you satisfied now?" Paulin knew Ajax was safe when he saw Ajax stood up very quickly and was looking at him surprised. "Yes. Now I will show you my speed then," with that he used the same tactic of Paulin and rushed in a zig-zag manner with his Cloud steps which he got from the inheritance, and he rarely used it before. However, he was prepared beforehand for this weekly spar and upgraded his movement technique ''Cloud steps'' to level 2 using 1000 units of the essence of nature. Just like how Paulin used his speed, Ajax used his speed and appeared behind Paulin; However, when he was about tond his punch on Paulin, his hand was caught by someone who appeared out of nowhere. "What?" as he was solely focused on Paulin, he missed one main point that Paulin also had an Elemental spirit of spiritmander realm. As soon as he was caught, Ajax used his spatial des on the elemental spirit that grabbed his hand from behind. However, the elemental spirit dodged them by leaving his hand. "Ajax, my elemental spirit and I have trained together for many hours daily, and we are perfectly in synchronization with each other, and also he has a very keen battle sense, so be careful and don''t hide your strength," Paulin advised Ajax about him and his elemental spirit perfect coordination and asked Ajax to use his full strength. "Sure," as he said that he summoned it from his inner world. "We will win, Brother Ajax" As soon as it came, it shouted in his cute childish voice making Edmond and Udough. As for Lewis, he wasughing even louder, as he was now 200 percent sure that he was getting 500 free spirit stones. Jeff frowned when he saw the small chubby elemental spirit in front of Ajax which was shorter than Ajax''s height. "Ajax, you got some cute elemental spirit there," Paulin looked at it interestingly and said to Ajax. However, cious raised his transparent brows as he looked at it. He sensed that the little spirit in front of him had a strength higher than him. ''Master, there is something wrong with that little thing, be careful,'' Without wasting any time, cious transmitted his thoughts to Paulin making him alert. ''cious, use Ice sword,'' Paulin ordered cious to attack it who stood in front of Ajax. Hearing his mastermand, the sword in cious hand, turned from liquid (Water) to solid (Ice) state. Paulin knew that the Water element was weak against an Earth element, so he quickly changed his water sword to Ice sword. ''Sand dunes''. Seeing the iing cious, Ajax smirked as he ordered it to use sand dunes. With the sudden formation of a sand dune on his way, cious was unable to find momentum and his speed decreased a lot which in turn reduced his attacking skill''s might. Seeing that he was losing his momentum, he quickly jumped back to dodge. "Senior brother Paulin, although it has keen battle senses, before elemental advantage and a higher level of strength it was impossible to win," Ajax replied to Paulin. There was a term called ''an elemental advantage''. Fire always had an advantage over the wind but weak against Water. Simrly, Water had an advantage over Fire but weak against Earth. Likewise, every element had an advantage over another element and disadvantageous over another elemental. Their elements mostly decided the battles between the elemental spirits unless the elemental spirit with the disadvantage had more strength than the other elemental spirit with an elemental advantage; it''s impossible to win the battle. In this case, it had an elemental advantage over cious along with a higher strength of a minor cultivation level. If cious wants to win the battle against it, then it''s cultivation should be at a minimum of Level 5 of the Elemental spiritmander realm. "I know about this advantage and do you think I didn''t n against this when I already know that your elemental spirit was an earth type," Paulin smiled mysteriously as he closed his eyes and mumbled something before opening his eyes again. Although the information about the elemental spirits was rare, Paulin knew about it from the blessing of the Summoner King in the inheritance ground. Thetter bestowed the basic knowledge about summoning to all the participants of the final round. "Hmm," Ajax''s excitement rose when he heard Paulin''s words Ajax wanted to have some blood rushing fights, so he was excited to look at what Paulin had prepared for his elemental disadvantage. Under the tree, Edmond observed the fight between Paulin and Ajax, and he was impressed by both. But what shocked him, most was Ajax''s elemental spirit that had reached the peak level 3 of the elemental spiritmander realm. As he watched them fight for a while, they stopped and exchanged a few words after which he saw what Paulin was doing and shocked even more than before. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 160: Weekly Spar 2

160 Weekly Spar 2

"Don''t tell me he learned his family technique," Edmond shockingly asked Udo, who simrly opened his mouth in shock. "How did he manage to learn it? Didn''t his family techniques were all destroyed by them?" Edmond continued his questions, but Udo was unable to answer Edmond, as even he didn''t know that Paulin learned his family''s secret technique. ¡­.. As they were in shock, Paulin opened his eyes and touched cius lightly. With his touch, cius felt that the power within him was rising slowly and he quickly broke one minor realm after another until cious reached Level 7 of the Elementalmander realm. "Huh? A strength enhancement technique?" Ajax was somewhat shocked at the technique used by Paulin. Since it was an auxiliary cultivation technique which would help increase anyone''s cultivation technique. Paulin didn''t stop there; he lightly touched himself. Soon his cultivation level increased just like how ciouos strength increased. However, unlike cious, Paulin''s strength rose by only four minor realms and stopped at the peak of themander realm. "Woah, an excellent skill," Ajax marvelled at the auxiliary technique Paulin used. ''it, can you handle that elemental spirit?'' Ajaxmunicated through the contract. ''I can hold him. If he was careless I could even defeat him,'' it replied, seeing the blue and white elemental spirit in front of him. ''Good then, I will fight with Senior brother Paulin,'' Ajax and it chose their fighting partner and split to fight individually. Ajax used his level 2 cloud steps and took out a mortal grade artifact sword as he rushed towards Paulin. ''Swoosh'' He threw the sword at Paulin before he could reach him and quickly used his spatial des from behind me. ''Click'' ''Zeek Zeek" Seeing this Paulin used his ability steel hardening immediately, albeit, some spatial des prated the metal that was formed on his body while some des were deflected. "Ajax, you spatial des skill improved a lot than ourst spar," while saying those words, Paulin rushed toward Ajax with the sword thrown by Ajax earlier. "But, you also improved a lot than ourst spar," Ajax used another sword which looked exactly like the sword in Paulin''s hands. ''ng~.'' Paulin used the sword in his hands to defend the iing sh from Ajax. ''ng~.'' ''ng~.'' Paulin and Ajax continued ying with their swords which made ''ng~'' sounds continuously. ''Whoosh~.'' As Paulin continued to defend Ajax''s sword attacks, he suddenly disappeared from Ajax''s sight. ''ng~.'' "The same technique doesn''t always work, Senior brother Paulin," Ajax stopped Paulin''s iing sword attack from the behind with his sword. ''Smirk~.'' Paulin smirked at Ajax''s words and used another sword which appeared out of thin air. Ajax knew that he couldn''t defend the other sword, so he jumped back and used spatial des using 2000 units of the essence of nature that made the metalyer on Paulin''s body disappear. Seeing his ability of metal hardening was cancelled by Ajax''s spatial des, Paulin became serious as this was his first time that the metal hardening ability was cancelled by anyone other than him. ''His ability became this strong?'' Paulin thought to himself before focusing on the Ajax''s movement technique. ''His technique seems simple, but I can''t predict his movements at all,'' with each sword in his hand, Paulin rushed towards Ajax. ''ng~'' Just like before their swords shed and ended in the draw. As they were fighting, simrly, their Elemental spirit''s started fighting each other. ''Whoosh'' it first used an Earth clone, and a simr-looking it appeared from the ground. After that, the main it used Sand dunes making cious movements unstable. cious directly used Cavalry when he saw the Sand dunes on the ground. ''Neighs'' As soon as he used Cavalry, a transparent white and blue coloured horse appeared in front of ciouos and neighed. ''Gallops'' cious mounted the horse and rushed towards it and its clones while jumping Sand dunes and shed at it. Just when the Ice sword was about to sh it, a brown cloured shield appeared protecting it form the iing sh. ''Hehe'' it smiled slightly at the futile effort of cious shing at his level 3 Earth Shield. ''Slurp'' As he shed three times with his level 7 elemental spiritmander strength, ciouos''s summoned horse was suddenly sucked into the ground by the sand dune. Before cious could do anything, his horse already sunk into the Sand dune, causing him to cancel his ''Cavalry skill'' and jump from the horse to the Sand dune free area. After cancelling the skill, the half-sunken horse disappeared from the Sand dune. Just as ciousnded on the earth, he was punched by the it''s clone which had the same strength as that of it. I.e., peak level 3 elemental spiritmander realm. Although his keen battle senses already sensed that punch, he was unable to dodge as he justnded on the earth and sted away with that punch. With that single punch, cious was unable to stand as he cancelled the skill in the middle, it took a heavy toll on him which made him knocked downpletely ono the ground. "I lost." Seeing his contracted elemental spirit had lost the battle with the earth elemental spirit, Paulin gave up. Even though it was a tie between him and Ajax, with the support of earth elemental spirit Ajax would win the battle for sure, so he just admitted defeat. In actuality, cious had very high attacking power but that earth elemental spirit, which had a perfect defending skill that made it survive the ferocious attacks of the cious. Ajax epted the win for the battle as it was his contracted elemental spirit that made him win, so he thought it''s okay. However, he was not satisfied with his fighting style and wanted to cultivate some fighting techniques as he could not use Spatial des every time as it cost him so much essence of nature. ''p p'' Edmond stood up from the ground and came towards them while pping his hands. "Both of you battled well, but Ajax you stillck some fighting techniques," Edmond slowly exined Ajax''s drawbacks in his fight and helped him correct. "What you need now is some good fighting techniques. Don''t worry about them; I will help you get some fighting techniques," Edmond continued his advice to Ajax. Next, he looked at Paulin and said, "Paulin, I think we need to talk. Don''t you think so?" ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 161: Sword Inheritance

''Nods'' Paulin nodded his head, seeing the serious look on Edmond and Udo who stood behind Edmond. Ajax didn''t understand what they were talking as he looked at them confusedly. "Let''s go back to the residence and talk then," Edmond nodded his head and went towards their building along with Udo. Without saying anything, Ajax and Paulin followed them. ... In the distance, Lewis had a sad look on his face, whereas Jeff''s face was filled with smiles. "Jeff, you already know that Ajax will win, right?" Lewis asked while gritting his teeth. "If not, why would I ce a bet, fool," Jeff said with a smirk on his face, making Lewis even more sad and angry. "Who are you calling a fool," Lewis became angry not because he was called a fool but because he lost his valuable 2000 spirit stones. "Stop ying and join us," As they were about to fight, Udo''s loud voice made them stop their little fight. "We will settle this in our next spar," Lewis angrily left to join Edmond and others after finishing his words. Jeff shook his head and followed him. .... Soon they entered the main hall of the building, Along the way, everyone remained silent as they were wondering why the usually smiling Captain Edmon looked serious. But they didn''t dare to ask anything and remained calm. After entering into the main hall, Edmond turned back and said, "Lewis and Jeff, go back to your rooms to cultivate your strength and breakthrough to themander realm." Even though Edmond''s words were in a low pitch, all squad members heard his words. "Wh..," Before Lewis could ask his question; he was quickly pulled away by Jeff. Seeing both Jeff and Lewis leave the main hall, Udo cleared his throat before he continued saying, "Paulin, where did you learn that technique?" "Huh?" Paulin paused for a second and said, "It was taught by my grandfather when I was young, but recently I gained enlightenment in that technique and reached level 2 of my family technique". Paulin looked sad when he exined about the technique that his grandfather taught him. "So, that''s how it is. Good," Edmond praised Paulin at his dedication for that technique. Edmond knows that technique was not an easy one to cultivate and in that he was enlightened on his own, which showed how dedicated Paulin was for that technique. "Paulin, just improve that technique to level 3 before the champion''s contest, you will definitely end up in top 10," Edmond encouraged Paulin with that auxiliary technique he disyed in the spar earlier. "I will try my best, Captain Edmond," Paulin confidently replied to Edmond. "Okay, but be careful of using it before the champion''s contest, it will harm you, just like how it destroyed your family," Udo, who stood at the side, warned Paulin about the greedy nature of the human as they would do anything for the item they want. "I know, Elder Udo," Paulin politely replied to Udo. Ajax simply watched as they conversed with each other about some matters which he felt confused, but he was clear of one thing that Paulin also suffered the same tragedy as him or simr to that. So he didn''t ask fearing it might make Paulin sad. "Okay, since Ajax won in the spar, I will reward him with an item," Edmond changed the topic from Paulin''s technique to Ajax''s reward, which he promised to give to the winner of the spar. When he heard Edmond''s words, Ajax became excited and looked at him with expectant eyes. "Take this," Edmond took out something from his space ring that looked like a small sword. "What is this Captian Edmond," Ajax asked as he took that little sword which was only a few inches into his hands. "It''s a sword inheritance from a wandering sword cultivator. Do you wish to take this inheritance? Although it might look small, with that you can reach the level 5 swordsman." Edmond slowly exined seeing the curious Ajax. Hearing his words, Ajax shuddered and closely observed the little sword in his hand. ''This little thing is that powerful,'' Ajax thought as he examined the little sword. There were many professions in the world, and swordsman was one of them. A swordsman was the one who used a sword dao to increase his cultivation instead of following the general route of achieving strength by umting the essence of nature in their spirit consciousness. In their case, they increase their Sword Dao level by level by fighting with their sword alone, and with each level, they would reach one step closer to the one with the sword realm. Although it was not difficult to increase the sword dao in their body, it was not easier either. However, many cultivators were willing to learn an extra profession such as swordsman, spearman, saberman, to increase their battle prowess. Edmond already reached level 6 in the sword dao, and he has the battle prowess higher than his original cultivation. "Yes, I will take this," Ajax excitedly took it as hecked some battle techniques. "Remember, no need to rush when cultivating the techniques in that sword inheritance," Edmond warned Ajax about the sword inheritance. "I will remember, Captain Edmond," Ajax nodded his head and used the system to check the little sword in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Sword Inheritance (Part 1) Description:- A Sword Inheritance that was intentionally divided by a wandering Sword cultivator and ced them in different locations. Only when I sessfully inherit a part of the sword inheritance, can reveal the next part''s location. Inheritance Progress:- 0/5 sword dao level. ''What? It''s only a single part?'' Ajax was shocked to see some unexpected information on the holographic screen. But he didn''t show the shock on his face as he didn''t want to tell everyone that ''I have a system which can exin and give some good rewards'', so he kept quiet. "Okay then, leave now and take rest. However, after two days, you two have to go to the mercenary guild and take some missions," Edmond ordered them toplete some mission while forming a two men party. "We will do as you say, Captain Edmond," Paulin and Ajax both said at the same time. Both of them know that what Captain Edmond was making them do was for their own good, so they nodded their head in unison. After agreeing to Edmond''s words, Ajax and Paulin left to their rooms to rest as they were tired after their weekly spar. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 162: Accepting the Sword Inheritance

162 epting the Sword Inheritance

As Ajax and Paulin left the main hall, Edmond looked at Udo as he seriously said, "I think Hawkpelt family will rise as long as Paulin reaches level 5 of that Auxry skill, until then we should protect him." "Yes, once weplete our mission, you will dare to harm anyone under care?" Udo replied with an expectant look on his face. "If only, they were with me, I would have been the happiest person in this word," However, Edmond shook his head and sighed. Udo''s expectant look on his face dimmed when he looked at his friend, who used to be a very enthusiast and carefree youth back in their time. ''I hope this mission goes as nned. Otherwise, I don''t what will he do in his current rage,'' Udo prayed that all goes as nned. ¡­.. After entering into his room, Ajax sat on his bed and checked his contracted spirit beasts who were absorbing the inheritances of their ancestors. Snow, the Lightning Dragon Hawk was in the mini thunder pool as it continuously absorbed the inheritance orb in its body along with the sparks of lightning from the pool into its body. Ajax observed its spirit consciousness that was filled with shes of lightning and bolts of thunders. In the corner of its spirit consciousness, there were small three particles that looked like sand particles. Ajax already identified them as the small portions of a Spirit beast King''s essence gem which was given by the older birdman. But using the System, Ajax sealed that particles within Snow''s spirit consciousness. "I will use them slowly after itpleted its absorption with the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s inheritance," he thought as he recalled his spiritual sense from the spirit consciousness of Snow. After checking Sow, he focused on Raweth, the descendent of the three-legged fire crow. Although he didn''t have a suitable cultivation paradise, like Snow, he was very fast in absorbing his tribe''s emperor''s inheritance. Lastly, he checked in the Netherworld Ice Sparrow, who he named it ''Sparrow'' which was cultivating in the Grade 2:- Dark Elemental Paradise along with the inheritance from the Netherworld Ice Sparrow Empress which was given to it by Ajax. Ajax got one full inheritance and one-half inheritance from the older birdman aspensation for torturing him with the ghost fire. "Is it coincidence or he was carrying those inheritances on him for something," Ajax thought about it for a moment and concluded, "Whatever, I got the inheritances, only that matters, right?" As he was tired by the spar with Paulin, so he didn''t want to do anything, for now, so he bathed and slept on his soft bed only waking up in the night. "Still, one more day for the contract of my first official elemental spirit," Ajax was expectant towards his awakening as he would be 15 years old by tomorrow night, as ording to what he knew, the awakening should be tomorrow. However, he thought back to the mission generated by the System when he upgraded it when he reached themander realm. "System, show me the mission details, ''As he forgot about the mission details, he asked the System to show about the mission rted to his official contract. ''Ding, Mission 3:- Sessfully contract an official Elemental spirit. Reward:- Depends on the type of Elemental spirit Time limit:- 3 weeks (12 days remaining) Danger rating:- ''A.'' "Why is this mission''s danger rating very high?" Ajax was puzzled at the high danger rating mission, as what would be the dangers in the dream. However, he knew one thing for sure; the system appraisal of the mission was always right. "Although the actual danger in the mission might be less, it was always correct," Ajax concluded that he should be careful while he was in his dream. His thought process was like this because his first ''A'' danger rating mission in the Five elemental world waspleted quickly, just like some ''B'' danger rating mission. However, he wanted to be careful as there was nothing wrong with being extra cautious. After leaving that matter, he took out the small sword which was given to him by Captian Edmond. As the small sword appeared in his hand, he observed for some time and fiddled with it. Suddenly, the small sword shone with a bright light that blinded Ajax for a second. ''Ding, The small sword is willing to ept you as its master. ''Ding, Do you want to ept it andplete the inheritance? As the blinding light went off, Ajax got some sudden notifications from the System. "Why did it epted me as its master?" Ajax asked the System. Ajax didn''t understand why it was willing to ept his as its master, so he puzzledly asked the System. ''Ding, ording to the System, the small sword epted you as it''s master based on two things regarding the host. ''Ding, The first one is that the host has a high cultivation level and is only 15 years old. ''Ding, The second one is that the host has not cultivated in the Sword Dao, which will make the host could learn the inheritance in the shortest time possible than the one who already cultivated the sword dao. Ajax nodded his head as he already knew that in the whole Zrochester province, there might not be even one who would have his cultivation at the age of 15. As for the second one, he tired remember something about the Sword Dao that was exined by Elder Boron on their trips to the spirit gathering circle and the Silver orphanage. "ording to what Elder Boron said, there are many types of Sword Daos. Some focused on Speed type Sword Dao, while some cultivate Sharpest type and some other Sword Daos," after concentrating for a while he remembered some words from the Elder Boron. ''Ding, Do you want to ept it andplete the inheritance? Amidst his thoughts of Sword Dao, he once again got the system notification asking him about his eptance of the inheritance. "Hmm...ept it," after thinking a few seconds he epted as he wanted some weapon cultivation techniques anyway. ''Since the Sword inheritance is divided into three parts and stored in different locations, then this sword inheritance is not a simple thing, and it must be a strong swordsman''s inheritance,'' Ajax''s thoughts were like this when he epted the inheritance. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 163: Sword Technique

163 Sword Technique

''Whoosh~.'' As soon as he epted the system notification, the small sword in his hand shined even more brightly than before and floated into the air slowly before entering into his forehead directly. When the small sword rushed towards his forehead, Ajax tried to dodge it, but he was unable to escape from its speed and surrendered. To his surprise, when the small entered into his forehead, there was no pain that he imagined. Instead, he felt calm and rxed by the soothing aura, which was released by the small sword, which suddenly appeared in his spirit consciousness after it entered into his forehead. ''How did it appear in my spirit consciousness when it entered into my forehead,'' Ajax doesn''t know why, but his mind was calm even after what was supposed to be a shock for him. As the Spirit consciousness was in his chest area and that small sword entered into his forehead but somehow suddenly appeared in his spirit consciousness. However, due to the soothing aura released by the small sword, he didn''t feel any shock or anxiety. Soon, his mind was filled with some foreign information that came from who knows where. But he felt the foreign information was about a sword cultivation technique. Along with the information, some images were shed in his mind. In those images, a middle-aged man with a not more than a meter long sword in his hand. In each image, the middle-aged man had a different stance. Those images were shed very quickly, which made them look like a video. Ajax was focused on those images which were moving very fast and tried to remember every stance. There were 25 stances in those images, and he remembered all of them as they shed repeatedly. Soon, those images shing stopped after they were repeated for a total of five times each. "Although there is only one move in those 24 images, it looked long and detailed," Ajax opened his eyes after the images stopped shing in his head and marvelled at the sword move which looked simple but very powerful in the hands of that middle-aged man. ''Ding, Do you want to integrate that single sword move into the Sword technique? Amidst, his awe for the Sword move, Ajax got a system notification in his head about turning the single sword move into a sword technique. In general, a Sword technique had a set of moves,bining all the moves were considered a Sword technique. But, now the System said, it could convert a single sword move into a sword technique, making the logic behind the sword techniques and sword moves a confusion for Ajax. "Yes, convert it into a Sword technique." However, Ajax epted as he wanted to see how a single sword move could be converted into the Sword technique. ''Ding, Need 1000 units of the essence of nature for the conversion of the sword move into a sword technique. Do you want to proceed with the conversion? "Damn! I know the System won''t be that benevolent and freely convert the move into a technique," Still, Ajax unwillingly epted as he wanted a sword technique that was powerful and could sh through anything. In the images that were shed in his head, the middle-aged man shed through arge tree with ease. So he epted for the conversion with the System. ''Ding, Consumed 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The sword move that was disyed in the host''s head is sessfully converted into the Sword technique. ''Ding, Please name the Sword technique. "What? That''s very simple, and you took 1000 units of the essence of nature from my spirit consciousness. Curse you, System," Ajax was not convinced with the deal, which looked very simple. Ajax was actually saving the essence of nature to upgrade his Abyssal bloodline ability to level 2. His Abyssal bloodline had to meet three conditions to be upgraded to level 2. In which Ajax had already satisfied two of the conditions, which required him to have at least 3 contracted elemental spirit or spirit beasts, and he should have the cultivation of level of the elitemander realm. And the final condition was to have 6000 units of the essence of nature. Although he could have that 1000 units of the essence of nature could be umted easily in a day or two, but at least it was not a convincing deal for him. ''Since you consumed 1000 units of the essence of nature for the conversion, let me see how great is the sword technique you converted,'' Ajax muttered, not bothering to name the sword technique. ''If I am satisfied with the sword technique, I will give it a name,'' he thought as he expected, ''the single sword move was already very powerful, then it''s sword technique should be more powerful, right?'' Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Item name:- Unnamed sword technique. Grade:- High-level Heaven grade Description:- A simple sword move from one of the powerful wandering Swordsman, which was converted into a Sword technique. Technique Description:- A single sword move, itself a Sword technique, that increases the attacking power by 3 times when reached peak of the sword technique. Rating:- It''s worth the deal. "You!!" When he read the rating on the holographic screen, he was angry because the System intentionally gave that rating for him. Since he was crying for that 1000 units of the essence of nature, he thought System gave him that rating '' It''s worth the deal'' intentionally. "Since the attacking power of the sword techniques is three times higher than the sword move, then it''s okay then," However, Ajax mumbled slowly epting the conversion of 1000 units of the essence of nature for three times the attack power was good and he didn''t mull over about it with the System anymore. ''Ding, Please name the Sword technique. "Hmm," seeing the system notification, Ajax thought for a moment for a powerful name that suits the sword technique. "Mountain splitting." "Yes, system name it as Mountain Splitting Sword Technique," Ajax quickly thought of a name which he was satisfied and asked the System to add the name to the sword technique. ''Ding, The host selected ''Mountain Splitting Sword Technique'' as the new name for the sword technique. ''Ding, Mountain Splitting Sword Technique (Level 1) Need to use the sword technique perfectly, for a total of 100 times to reach Level 2. Current progress (0/100 times) ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 164: Practice

164 Practice

"Only 100 times?" Ajax was first shocked andter became excited. The reason for his excitement was the sword move in his head looked very simple to him and yet so powerful, so he thought he could easily use the sword technique 100 times and reach level 2 quickly. Without any dy, he quickly rushed towards the open ground behind the building and found an average-sized tree. "Let me try the sword technique of a single sword move," Ajax immediately took out a mortal grade sword that he obtained from one of the assassin sect''s disciples space rings. However, before he could use the sword technique, the small sword in his spirit consciousness came out on its own and sliced through the sword in his hand. "What?" Ajax wondered why the small sword suddenly came out and destroyed the mortal grade sword. To his surprise, after slicing the mortal grade sword, the small swordnded in his hands. "So, you want me to use you instead of that sword??? He asked, looking at the sword which looked like a small toy in his hands. "Siiing," For his question the small sword made a small noise as though, it was saying yes to him. "But, you are very short, I can''t even hold the hilt with my fingers," he was bbergasted at the small sword in his hands. As soon as he said those words, the small sword in his hands hovered in the air before bing a 70-80 cm long sword from a 1-inch sword. "...." Ajax looked at the sword in his hand speechlessly and continued saying, "So, you can change your sizing, cool." He praised the sword before he started to disy the images he saw in his mind earlier and shed his swords at a tree which was not veryrge nor very small. As he shed at it, he was only able to make a small on the tree. "Still 99 more to go," Ajax thought in his mind and was about to sh once again. ''Ding, The sword technique is only 50 percent perfection Please try again ''Ding, Current progress for level 2:- 0/100 As soon as he thought tha the only needed 99 more times, he got a system notification, which made him cry. "Sigh...only 50 percent perfect," Ajax knew hecked something in the sh earlier, but he thought, it would be counted as a use. However, the almighty System didn''t go easy on him and didn''t count that 50 percent as it wanted him to be 100 percent perfect in performing the sword technique. Ajax didn''t lose his confidence but again imagined the middle-aged man in his head that performed the sword move once again. "Hmm...so it has to be like this," as though he found something, Ajax excitedly used the sword and aimed at the average-sized tree with his minimum power. ''Chhuk~.'' The swords prated a few inches deep this time, but still, he felt hecked something. ''Ding, The sword technique is 75 percent perfection Please try again. Just like before, he got the same system notification, but this time, his perfection in the sword technique was more than 25 percent than before. Seeing the increment in perfection, Ajax was overjoyed and shed at the tree again, which gave him the same perception rate. However, he didn''t give up; instead he became excited as he sensed that the power in his sword technique had increased this time. "So, even without the increment in the perfection of the sword technique, there is still a chance to increase the might of the sword technique," At this revtion, he stopped for a moment after pondering he continued for who knows how long. ''Ding, The sword technique is 80 percent perfection Please try again. ''Ding, The sword technique is 85 percent perfection Please try again. .. .. .. .. .. .. With each sh, he managed to improve the perfection in his sword technique slowly. After continuing for some hours, Ajax finally felt tired and sat on the ground as he gasped for air. ''Ding, The sword technique is 95 percent perfection ''Ding, The sword technique with a 95 percent perfection is eptable and can be counted as one use. ''Ding, Current progress:- (1/100) ''Ding, Continue to work hard host. Seeing thest unexpected system notification, Ajax felt his previous tiredness fade away. "Phew, finally it progressed," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief seeing the current progress for reaching level 2 in the sword technique. He took some rest, before resuming the practicing the sword technique again. ''Shing'' ''Dring'' ''Bzzt'' He continued the same set of movements, like shing horizontally, bringing backing the sword and again shing. "What a powerful sword move!" In the distance, Edmond saw the Ajax who was practicing a sword move and praised it. However, Edmond still wondered how could anyone reach that fluent in the sword in a single day. "His actions are just like him. If only he was alive, both of them would have be good friends...Sigh," Edmond shook his head and went back to his cultivation before closing the window. He didn''t worry about any assassin''s attempt on Ajax as he already asked Udo to protect him from the shadows. With Udo''s protection, only an elite general could do some harm to him, so Edmond didn''t worry about Ajax much and started his cultivation. Just like that, he practiced the whole night in the moonlight shing his sword at trees. In between, he would take some small breaks before starting shing once again. Soon, morning came bringing the first strong rays of sunlight, the ones that bring true warmth. The birds were chirping and enjoying the cool breeze. "Uff umf," Ajax was dead tired as sweat rolling down his face. He felt pain all in his hands due to his shing action. That didn''t leave his body painless though. A small aching pain spread all over his body. ''Ding, The sword technique is 96 percent perfection. ''Ding, Current progress:- 99/100. ''Ding, Don''t give up now host. Strike while the iron is hot. Soon a series of system notifications came along with a chime in his head. "Come out of my head, I will strike you to death then," Ajax was already dead tired, but when he saw the system motivational notification, he scoffed at the System. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 165: Official contract 1

165 Official contract 1

Although he said that, he stood up from the ground with the sword in his aching hands. He closed his eyes and went through all the mistakes he had done from the past few hours and opened his eyes and shed at the tree at only his minimum strength. As he shed, a bright gleam appeared on the sword, and it went through the average-sized tree just like tofu with a clean cut. ''Thud'' The tree fell with a thud onto the ground. As soon as the tree fell, a series of system notifications rang in his head. ''Ding, The sword technique is 100 percent perfection, ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully reaching the minor perfection stage (or Level 2) in the Mountain splitting sword technique. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for sessfully stepping into the Sword Dao. "Phew" Ajax fell on the ground as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally, reached minor perfection stage in the sword technique," lying on the ground, Ajax muttered watching the clear morning sky. "Wait, I sessfully stepped into the sword dao?" Suddenly Ajax came to the sitting position from his sleeping position and read thest system notification once again. "It''s really said I started cultivation the sword dao," He excitedly opened his user interface to check out more details about the Sword dao. He saw a new section called Sword dao in it, which he focused on knowing more. ''Ding, Name:- Sword Dao (level 1) Type:- Fastest Description:- increase the attacking power when the host uses Swords by 20 percent. "Good. It''s only level 1 and increases the attacking power by 20 percent, it''s excellent," Ajax nodded his head. He already knew about the Fastest type, sword dao. It is the sword dao that mainly focuses on speed, so Ajax didn''t bother with it. With much difficulty, he slowly went to his room and copsed on hisfortable bed. ¡­.. "What the hell, he justprehended the fastest type sword dao in a single night''s practice," Udo was on arge tree watching Ajax for the whole night was shocked at the sight of Ajax cutting an average tree with just simple looking sword move. But what he doesn''t know was that Ajax used a sword technique that was converted by the system. Although the sword technique still looked like a single sword move, there were three movements in each time Ajax shed at the tree. One required a full focus and excellent sword skills, to know about them, so Udo was unable to differentiate between the sword move and sword technique. Even Ajax didn''t know that the sword technique, he was using had three moves in it, so there was nothing wrong with Udo''s inability to differentiate it. "How can a genius like him appear in this Zrocheter province?" Udo wondered about the background of Ajax as he was not only good at cultivating but also good inprehending the sword dao. Furthermore, he still didn''t forget that Ajax had an elemental affinity with three elements. "There is something wrong with him. Looks like I need to keep a close eye on him from now on," Udo felt something wrong with Ajax''s talents and wanted to find out more about him. While thinking that, he disappeared from his hiding position. .... Back in Ajax''s room, he slept like a log due to his tired body. Slowly seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours. Hour after hour passed by in a sh, like that more than a dozen hours passed. However, Ajax was still not awake as something was going on, in his head. He entered into a strange Dream which looked real but he knew that his body was still sleeping. In his dream, he was surrounded by a void as there was nothing around him which made him helpless. Furthermore, he was unable to feel any of his cultivation and looked like an average person who didn''t cultivate any techniques in his entire life. ''I think this is the process of entering the elemental spirit world through the Dream, that Elder Boron and the system mentioned,'' However, soon he rted that this might be associated with the process of an official contract with an elemental spirit. ''But, why my cultivation is gone?'' Ajax felt weird at the feeling of an average person who didn''t have any cultivation. Who would like their entire power to vanish all of a sudden? No one, right? Although it was temporary, he was unable to adjust to a non-cultivator''s form. ''What should I do?'' as he was wondering about what to do, the almighty system came to his rescue. ''Ding, The host is about to enter the elemental spirit world through his spirit consciousness; Please stay focused while entering into the spirit world. Otherwise, it may leave an impact on the host''s spirit consciousness. "Hmm," Ajax didn''t ask anything, as he already knew that system would definitely help him with the teleporting thing. Soon a portal formed in the void in front of him, without any hesitation, he hovered into the portal. The portal that appeared in front of him looked different from the portals he previously entered. The portals he previously entered were just like a door; however, the current portal which he entered now was like a tube. As soon as he entered the portal, he felt a sudden headache which made him clutch his head. Still, he didn''t lose his focus and continued hovering towards an exit in the portal. He managed to find one thing in his hovering towards the exit that once he loses his focus, he might miss the path to the exit and divert to the surrounding void. So, he bit his teeth to stay focus and moved towards the exit of the portal. After a few seconds of great focus and endurance, Ajax finally reached the exit and quickly jumped into the exit without any hesitation. As he jumped, he quickly found himself falling from a height. "What the¡­..," Before he could finish his words, a system notification came. ''Ding, The host has sessfully entered the Elemental spirit world through his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host will have to find an Elemental spirit within 12 hours. Otherwise, the host will receive a bacsh from the ''failed awakening''. "Okay okay, but first stop me from falling," Ajax didn''t focus on the iing system notifications. Instead, he asked the system to help him from falling. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 166: Official Contract 2

166 Official Contract 2

''Ding, The host need not worry about the falling Even though you were falling at high speed, nothing will happen to the host. ''Phew,'' once he saw the system notification, his anxious heart, calmed down a little. Soon, he felt his body''s falling speed slowed down, and just when he was about to hit the ground, he floated for a moment before stepping onto the ground. ''Ding, The host sessfully entered the Elemental spirit world. ''Ding, A random mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check the quest tab to know more. Ajax carefully observed his surroundings, but he was unable to rte this region to the previous region he visitedst time. The area around him looked like some dark elemental area. "My guess was right," Ajax eximed lightly. When he was in the five elemental world, he asked the system about the location where he would be sent to, in his dream. But the system didn''t reply to him correctly. When he saw that he was teleported to the dark elemental area, he thought his guess was right. However, he didn''t think much about it and checked the quest tab for his newly generated mission. In the quest tab, he already had a mission that was rted to the elemental spirit. That mission was, he had to sessfully form an official contract with an elemental spirit within a limited time. Above that mission, he saw a new mission. ''Ding, Form an official contract with more than one elemental spirit. Description:- A summoner can form an official contract for every two major realms until he reaches the Spirit King realm. Since the host, now has the cultivation of themander realm, the host can form two official contracts with the elemental spirits. Reward:- Based on the type of Elemental spirits, the host forms an official contract with. Danger rating:- C Mission failure:- Bacsh of the spirit consciousness. (During that condition, the host will be unable to cultivate) "Huh?" Ajax got a new revtion about the summoner with the quest tab''s mission. "So, for every two major realms, I can form an official contract with an elemental spirit," He got excited at the new thing he learned. "But, why are the rewards for both missions are dependent on the type of the elemental spirit that I form an official contract with?" Ajax wondered what that system was nning to do with him. "I guess, I will get a reward, to upgrade the strength of the elemental spirits," Ajax thought for a moment. "I will just figure it out when I get it, right?" he shook his head not bothering about the reward. "System, why is the danger rating for this mission so much lower than the earlier mission which required only one elemental spirit to form an official contract," after he stopped bothering about the rewards, he asked the system his doubt about the danger rating of the missions. The rewards could be managed as he knew the system would give him some rewards forpleting the mission. On the contrary, what confused him the most was the danger rating of the mission was way too low. It was only ''C'' which was way too much low whenpared to the same mission which was generated by the system earlier. So he asked the system about the danger rating difference between the two missions which were almost the same. ''Ding, The danger rating will be assigned based on the cultivation of the host along with the possible highest dangers in the mission. ''Ding, As for the difference in the danger rating, it was due to the sudden increase in the host''s strength, the danger rating of the second mission is very less. "So, you are saying that a mission got assigned by a specific danger rating, even the system can''t change the danger rating of that mission?" Ajax''s face had a small smile which was slowly increasing as he expectantly waited for the system reply. ''Ding, Affirmative. "Hahahaha," once he got the system reply, heughed loudly as there was no one around him, he increased the pitch even higher. The reason for his loudughs was, now he could get an almost free level up in his cultivation if he aplished the previously generated mission which had a danger rating of ''A'', but in actuality, it had less than ''C'' danger rating. ''Ding, However, the host has toplete the mission with at least an ''A'' clearance rating to a level up in his cultivation. Seeing the sudden system notification, Ajax raised his brows and stopped his loudughs. ''Did I celebrate too soon? Sigh,'' Ajax thought that system would do something to his rewards as the rewards were not mentioned yet. There was nothing wrong with his worry, though. As it was in the hands of the system to grant him the rewards, he thought he would not be given the exact reward that would be provided for an ''A'' danger rating mission. ''Ding, The system will not bear grudges with the host as he was the master, and I am only a servant. "What? You are a servant, and I am the master. But why do I get a feeling that was the reverse of what you just said," He shook his head and looked at his surroundings to find which way he should go to find an elemental spirit. His surroundings were entirely filled with dark and eerie energy with only minimal light. For others, it might be suicide to stay in here, but for Ajax, it was a Heaven as he could cultivate in every elemental region. However, he couldn''t cultivate as he didn''t have any time for that. Since he had to form an official contract with two elemental spirits, he had to find them quicker. "I think it''s better to go in this direction." Although there was only a small amount of light he could see some small caves in the distance he didn''t sense much dark energy in them and moved towards the other direction. He took that decision on a simple assumption, that since the dark energy in them was low, then there would not be any chance of finding an elemental spirit. Despite the fact that this world was called an Elemental spirit world, finding an Elemental spirit required luck and even more luck to be able to for an official contract. He moved towards the direction in which he sensed the dark elemental energy was rich and abundant. ******* 3000 power stones =3 chapters/ day Please go to to read thetest chapters for free Chapter 167: Official contract 3

167 Official contract 3

Ajax continued his search for an elemental spirit for nearly 3 hours. Albeit, he was unable to find any elemental spirits. "Huh?" Just as he wanted to take a small break in his search, he heard some noises from a nearby ravine. "What is that sound? It looks like someone is fighting," Ajax became excited at the sounds of the battle and slowly moved towards the direction in which he heard noises. ''ng~.'' ''Dring~.'' In the ravine, Ajax saw two dark elemental spirits fought against one another in a tough battle. Among the two elemental spirits, one spirit looked around 2 meters in height with a dark mist surrounding him. There were no weapons in his hands and using some weird hand symbols to fight. Whereas the other one looked more like a humanoid lion with a transparent body armour along with a transparent sword of less than 70 centimeters in his hand. He looked aggressive in his every attack making the other elemental spirit hopeless. When he thought that the humanoid Lion like the elemental spirit was going to win the battle against the dark mist surrounded elemental spirit, the lion-like elemental spirit suddenly fell on to the ground clutching his head. "Do you think you can win against me, Dabrus, just because you have the brute force," Dabrus, the tall elemental spirit''s previous hopelessness now turned into a mock, as he mocked the lion-like elemental spirit, who had his hands on his head. "Dabrus, what trick did you use on me?" the lion-like elemental spirit said while gritting its teeth. "Oh Nite, although we both have the same level of strength (Level 1 of spirit soldier), I have awakened an amazing skill unlike you who awakened amon strength type skill, Hehe," The elemental spirit named Dabrus walked toward the lion-like elemental spirit which he called as Nite. As he walked towards Nite, Dabrus''ugh became louder and louder. After he reached Nite, he tossed Nite''s sword aside, which wasnded beside Ajax. "Now, if you be my ve, I can let you live otherwise, you can die peacefully. What do you choose?" Dabrus asked while looking at the fallen elemental spirit whose name was Nite. However, Nite didn''t reply to anything. Instead, he looked at Dabrus angrily. Ajax knew some things about the Elemental spirit world which he gathered from Edmond and others. Although all the elemental spirits would have only one skill which was awakened just after their birth and only level 1 spirit soldier cultivation, they fight each other to improve their fighting techniques. Not only for improving the fighting techniques but also to gain a ve. That''s right; the winner could make the loser his ve and make that ve to battle other elemental spirits. "I know you are very proud but think about it clearly. Do you want to live or die?" Dabrus was not in any hurry. He took his time as he slowly asked Nite once again. "I will die happily instead of doing other elemental spirits bidding," Nite, the lion-like elemental spirit angrily said to Dabrus. "Sure, I will help you finish your wish then," As he spoke, Darbus raised his foot to crush Nite. However, before he could step on Nite, he sensed something behind him and dodged sideways. ''Whistle~.'' As soon as he moved sideways, the sword he previously threw shed though his previous location with a whistling sound. "A human?" Dabrus and Nite, both the elemental spirits were shocked at the sight of a human. Although it was not an impossible thing for humans to appear in the elemental spirit world, it was a rare thing to consider. "Interesting," Darbus looked at Ajax and found it was interesting. Nite looked at Ajax, but he looked visibly angry as he saw his precious sword was in the hands of a human. As soon as they awaken a skill, all the elemental spirits awaken their inherent knowledge about humans and the contract. "Human wanna form a contract with me?" Dabrus sensed that this was Ajax''s first time forming an official contract, so he wanted to form a contract with him and be powerful. Dabrus, just like any other elemental spirits, wanted to leave this rich elemental spirit world by forming a contract with humans. However, whenpared with the past, the humans that wereing to the elemental spirit world to form an official contract were bing rare, so Dabrus didn''t want to miss this chance of forming a contract and leave the elemental spirit world. "Sorry, but I have some issues with you, so I am not ready to form a contract with you yet," Ajax replied in a t tone. Despite the fact that he needed to form a contract with an elemental spirit, he doesn''t want some cunning elemental spirit as his first official spirit, so he tly rejected Dabrus'' request. Instead, he turned towards the elemental spirit that looked like a humanoid lion. "Do you want to form an official contract with me?" Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. The reason, he chose Nite over Dabrus to form his first official contract was because he liked the behaviour of Nite, who was proud even at hisst breath. However, Nite didn''t give any reply to him. Instead, he looked at Ajax for a moment, and he felt something in his heart was saying to follow him. "Okay, I will agree," After looking for some more time, Nite nodded his head as he felt calm and rxed when Ajax was near him. Nite also wanted to venture the outside world while improving his strength and battling some powerful foes in hand to handbat. "Wait," As soon as Nite agreed to Ajax''s request, he became anxious. Originally, he thought that Nite would not agree to Ajax''s request, and Ajax would definitelye to him to form an official contract with him. But, to his surprise, Nite easily agreed to Ajax''s request making him anxious. Dabrus wanted to form an official contract, and in that, he wanted to be the first spirit. The reason for him in bing the first official elemental spirit was, the summoners (who forms a contract with the elemental spirit) mostly concentrated on their first elemental spirit and improves its strength whenpared to other elemental spirits. "What do you want?" Ajax asked, turning his head to Dabrus. ******* Chapter 168: Elemental spirit:-Dabrus

168 Elemental spirit:-Dabrus

"Can you form a contract with me next?" when he saw Ajax''s face, he felt there was nothing he could do in changing Ajax''s mind. So he quickly changed his question from his initial question, which was to form an official contract with him first. ''Although you may be the first official spirt Nite, I will be powerful than you,'' Dabrus thought in his mind as he waited for them to finish the contract process. Ajax used the same method as before, cing a small imprint in the spirit consciousness of the elemental spirit, which helps the contracted elemental spirits to absorb the surrounding essence of nature and start their cultivation journey. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming his first official contract. ''Ding, A mission ispleted. Please check the remaining details in the quest tab. Ajax felt happy as hepleted the mission with ease. ''Ding, Since the host has formed an official contract with an elemental spirit, A skill rted to that elemental spirit will be awakened, once the host leaves the elemental world. "What?" Amidst his happiness, another system notification came. When he heard that, Ajax felt a pleasant surprise. When Elder boron exined about summoning, he asked him a lot of question, but he was replied by ''You will know when it''s time''. So, now when he saw that he would awaken a skill rted to the elemental spirit, he felt excited and wanted to leave this dream and awaken the skill first. However, he had to finish another contract before he could leave. But, he wanted to stay here if he had a chance, as it would be extremely benefiting for his elemental spirits to increase their cultivation levels. As soon as Ajax and the lion-like elemental spirit formed a contract, the surrounding dark elemental energy gushed into the elemental spirit''s body at a visible rate. He left the Nite, his first official elemental spirit to cultivate at the same ce beforeing to Dabrus, who looked at the cultivating Nite with jealousy. However, when he saw that Ajax wasing at him, he was excited as he was finally going to form a contract. "Before forming a contract I want to rify to you one thing," Ajax looked at the elemental spirit in front of him and continued seriously, "I don''t know what grievance you two has, but once you enter into the team, you have to work together, do you understand?" Dabrus know there would be something like this, as no one would want their contracted elemental spirits to fight each other, so he epted it without any hesitation. His aim to be stronger overridden his enmity with Nite. "What about you, Nite?" Ajax asked Nite about his opinion. Nite thought for a moment and agreed. Every elemental spirit wanted to leave this boring Elemental spirit world, so he didn''t want to take Dabrus'' chance of leaving the Elemental spirit world. Ajax nodded his head and quickly repeated the process of leaving his imprint on the spirit consciousness of Dabrus. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming his second official contract with an elemental spirit. ''Ding, A mission ispleted. Please check the remaining details in the quest tab. Ajax felt happy as hepleted another mission without much difficulty. ''Ding, Since the host has formed an official contract with an elemental spirit, A skill rted to that elemental spirit will be awakened, once the host leaves the elemental world. Just like before, he got another system notification, exining to him that he would awaken another skill rted to Dabrus after he went back to his world. ''So, for every official contract with the elemental spirit, I will get an additional skill. It awesome,'' Ajax now beginning to understand how powerful the summoning profession was. As hepleted his two contracts for soldier realm and themander realm, he got the missionpletion notification. But he didn''t bother about it, as he asked the system, "System, since Ipleted the official contract, I can leave from here right?" ''Ding, Yes The system replied with a yes. However, Ajax asked another question, "System, can I stay until Iplete my 12 hours?" ''Ding, The host can choose to stay in the elemental spirit world to cultivate or can find another elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract. "What? I can form a contract with other elemental spirits?" Ajax was shocked to know that. Because he thought when he entered the elemental spirit world through a dream, he couldn''t form an unofficial contract. However, to his surprise, the system said, he could form an unofficial contract or cultivate. ''Should I let them cultivate here or try to find some elemental spirits to form a contract?'' Ajax thought about the pros and cons of two options. He didn''t take much time to decide though. He decided to search for some elemental spirits. But before that, he wanted to check the information on both the elemental spirits, which he formed an official contract. He first checked the information on Dabrus, who was just beside him. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Dabrus. Element type:- Shadow (It''s a dark element''s sub-attribute) Cultivation:- Level 1 spirit soldier. Skills:- Damage exchange (Level 1) (active) Skill description:- An active type skill which helps the elemental spirit to exchange the damage it received to the opponent who attacked him with an increment in the exchanging damage by the factor of two. Elemental description:- An elemental spirit which falls under the magic category. Only uses brains and skills to defeat the enemy. "So, it was talking about the Damage exchange skill earlier. It has the right to be proud of awakening such a rare skill" Ajax nodded his head at Dabrus skill, as it could kill the enemy if the enemy damages Dabrus'' half health and when Dabrus uses the damage exchange skill, the enemy might die while Dabru would still standing. ''Although it looked strong, it had some weaknesses, such as if the enemy kills Dabrus in a single hit, there is no use with that skill anymore as Dabrus would be dead. ''And he had to continuously use those symbols with his hands to use that skill which is time-consuming,'' he thought, but he was satisfied as it was only his first skill. In the future, there would be more skills he could awaken. ******* Chapter 169: Elemental spirit:-Nite

169 Elemental spirit:-Nite

After checking the information on Dabrus, Ajax came near to the Nite, who was recovering from his earlier battle injuries to check the skills and other things about him. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Nite. Element type:- Dark/Beast dual attribute. Cultivation:- Level 1 spirit soldier. Skills:- Brute strength (Level 1) (active) Skill description:- An active type skill that helps the elemental spirit increase all his abilities by two times. Abilities include skills and battle prowess. Elemental spirit description:- A Dual Elemental spirit of Dark and Beast attributes. As soon as he checked the information on his first official contracted elemental spirit, the usual holographic screen appeared to inform him with a ''Ding'' sound in his head. However, he was shocked to see Nite''s element type. It was very rare for an elemental spirit to have two elements in them, not to mention the Beast type element, which was even more unique. ''Looks like my luck is increasing day by day,'' Ajax was happy, as it was generally known, the beast type elemental spirits were known for their extreme strength and aggressiveness. However, he was able to form an official contract with the aggressive elemental spirit very easily. ''It''s all thanks to my speciality ''Dark Elementalist,'' Hehe,'' He thought about his specialty and praised it. Back in the five elemental world, when the spirit beast king''s spirit consciousness tried to take over his body, his spirit consciousness mutated a little. However, he gained a specialty ''Dark Elementalist'' from it. This specialty helps him increase the cultivation speed of the Dark-type beings and lessen the hatred of those beings towards him. Although the process of forming a contract looked effortless, actually it was not. If any other cultivator were present here instead of Ajax, he wouldn''t have finished the process this quickly, and he had to go through some difficulty before convincing the elemental spirit to form a contract. ''Brute strength looks like amon beast type skill,'' when he saw the skills section, he thought it was an ordinary skill. However, when he read the skill description, he was shocked. ''Holysh*t,'' he was excited. The reason for his excitement was that it was not an ordinary skill, but a high level one. ''It will increase his battle prowess as well as his skills by two time his original power, it''s an excellent skill,'' Ajax thought. ''As long as Nite gets more skills, then the true power of the skill wille out, then he will be even stronger than Volcanis,'' He was hopeful of how strong Nite would be in the future. "Now, we will move to find some elemental spirits," However, Nite and Dabrus were downcasted as they heard his words. Initially, they were excited about the contract, so that they could cultivate some time in the elemental spirit with their new master, who had some magical ability to increase their cultivation by 50 percent. But, their master was eager to find more elemental spirits to form a contract (unofficial one). Nevertheless, they followed behind him with their downcasted faces. Ajax sensed something was wrong with them and quickly understood their worry. "You don''t have to worry about your cultivation. I have my ways to improve your cultivation in the shortest time possible, so just focus on finding an elemental spirit now," Ajax said with a small smile on his face with a confident look. "Yes, summoning master," hearing Ajax''s confident words, both the elemental spirits'' downcasted faces became lively and thanked Ajax respectfully at the same time. Ajax nodded his head and continued his search for the elemental spirits. After two hours, Ajax and his elemental spirits continued their search for the elemental spirits, but they could not find any. Then only, Ajax understood how lucky he was able to find two elemental spirits and form a contract with them. However, he didn''t lose any confidence and hope. Along the way, he checked the rewards for the two missions hepleted. ''Ding, Form an official contract with one elemental spirit ispleted Aplishment rating:- A. ''Ding, Reward:- A chance to level up any of Host''s official elemental spirits'' skills. Note:- The usual single minor realm breakthrough energy orb will be stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Mission:- Form an official contract with more than one elemental spirit ispleted. The host formed a contracted with a shadow type elemental spirit and a dark/beast type elemental spirit. ''Ding, Reward:- An Elemental spirit stone (Commander realm) will be sent to the host after he wakes up. "Okay, rewards are not bad," Ajax felt these rewards were not bad. He assumed he would get even lower-level rewards when the actual mission danger rating was decidedly less than the system assigned ''A'' danger rating. Ajax already had a two elemental spirit stone, which could level up a level 1 elemental spirit soldier to level 1 of the elemental spiritmander. Now, he got another elemental spirit stone of themander realm, so he felt pretty satisfied with the rewards. "Summoning Master, I think it better to take some rest before we continue our search," Dabrus suggested as he was still unable to stop his urge to cultivate. Seeing the anxious Dabrus, Ajax shook his and looked at Nite, who was also simr to Dabrus but didn''t voice his words. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at their behavior. However, he agreed to Dabrus''s suggestion. Ajax knew it was very difficult to stop their urge to cultivate when they could cultivate after waiting for many years. So, he felt sympathetic towards them and agreed. At the same time, he felt sympathetic towards all the elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world as they were born in an extremely rich essence of nature. However, they couldn''t cultivate until they were contracted to someone. He found a ce to sit and looked at the elemental spirits who were eager to cultivate. ''I will try to form a contract with as many elemental spirits I can,'' Seeing them, Ajax thought in his head as he continued thinking, ''Offical or unofficial, it doesn''t matter, just I want to free them from this rich looking elemental spirit world and let them roam other worlds along with me.'' ******* Chapter 170: Elemental spirit:- Prophis

170 Elemental spirit:- Prophis

After his journey to the five elemental world and having learned about the existences of Lightning Dragon Hawk emperor, three-legged fire crow and Netherworld Ice sparrow empress who transcended to the realm higher than King realm, and sealed the older birdman with ease, he felt that he should have that kind of power too. So from then on, he found another reason to be stronger. ''In this dog eat dog world, strength is the only thing that protects me,'' Ajax thought back to the massacre which happened in the Silver orphanage ad clutched his fists. ''If I had my present strength, I could have killed more than half of the assassins from that time...sigh'' Ajax sighed as he knows that he couldn''t travel back in time. ''However, the one thing I could do on behalf of all the other children who were killed in the SIlver orphanage was to take revenge,'' His eyes burned with revenge. But soon, he calmed down, as he also knows another thing that he was not strong enough to go against an entire assassin sect. While he was thinking about things like power and revenge, the two elemental spirits started their cultivation. Soon, many small ck particles entered into their transparent bodies with a rapid speed. It looked like how the sand absorbed a bottle of water that was poured into the desert. One particle after another continuously entered into their bodies. In just a few minutes, they broke through to level 2 of the elemental spirit soldier realm. After another set of minutes, they reached level 3. Just like that, time as continued to pass as they were breaking through levels with ease. "System, can I use the elemental spirit stones on them now?" When he saw how easily they were breaking through, Ajax asked the system about using the elemental spirit stones and increasing their levels not to waste the stones. ''Ding, When the host was in Spirit consciousness form, he couldn''t use inventory. So please wait until the host wakes up in the real world. "But, isn''t it a waste to not use Elemental spirit stones?" Ajax asked as the system. He thought that after he let his two official elemental spirits upgrade, their cultivation speed would be increased and could umte more essence of nature. But the system reply made him disappointed. ''Ding, Cultivation, Skills, and inventory will be blocked every time the host visits the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form. The system can''t help with it. "Okay then, I will use those elemental spirit stones on other elemental spirits then," Ajax shook his head and watched them. "Enough with the cultivation, now let''s begin the search," "Okay, summoning master," Although they were reluctant, they were pretty much satisfied for cultivating and reaching level 6 of the elemental spirit soldier in just an hour. They reached level 6 quicker because of Ajax''s specialty ''Dark Elementalist,'' which could increase the cultivation speed of the dark elemental beings by 50 percent. If not for that specialty, they would have reached level 4 of the elemental spirit soldier at maximum. Soon they resumed their journey for elemental spirits. But, the same thing happened just like before. They didn''t manage to find any elemental spirit along the way. "Damn this world, I am even crossing the dark elemental region but still unable to find any elemental spirits," Ajax cursed as he saw the border of the dark elemental region. "Summoning master, this dark elemental region is only one of the many other dark elemental regions, so it''s not a wonder, in not finding other elemental spirits," the silent Nite replied to Ajax, who was cursing the elemental spirit world. "So, how many elemental spirits reside in each region?" Ajax asked as he raised a brow when he heard Nite''s words. "In each region, not more than five elemental spirits, however, one can only find three or four elemental spirits as some elemental spirit chose to hibernate," Dabrus replied to Ajax''s question immediately. "Hibernate?" Ajax stopped for a moment before asking, "Is to pass their boring time?" "Yes, summoning master. In recent years the number of summoning masters visiting the elemental spirit world decreased, and many elemental spirit became hopeless before choosing to enter into a deep sleep to pass the time," Nite exined in detail. "So that is why Dabrus didn''t attack him even when I threw your sword at him," Ajax got a revtion. Before he formed a contract with Nite and Dabrus, Ajax threw a sword at Dabrus. However, instead of attacking him, Dabrus actively asked him to form a contract as he wanted to cultivate very badly. "Yes, summoning master. Due to this, many elemental spirits started ying this ve game," Dabrus, quickly exined his reason behind the fight with Nite and wanted to prove that he was not as cunning as Ajax thinks. Ajax nodded his head, seeing the pitiful looking Dabrus. "Wait a minute, so how do you know that all the other elemental spirits started this ''ve'' game?"?Ajax suddenly sensed something and asked Dabrus. When Ajax asked this, Dabrus face turned ugly as he remembered something he didn''t like, but still, he exined. "A few days back, I met a space elemental spirit who called himself Prophis, he challenged me to a fight which I agreed instantly. However, when I had a disadvantage in the fight, he said, ''The one who loses the fight will be the ve to the one who wins.''" Saying until there, Dabrus continued with an angry expression, "He even said, once I be his ve, he will take me with him and challenge other elemental spirits." "Huh? Space elemental spirit? That wanted to ve other elemental spirits. Interesting," Ajax mumbled to himself. However, when Dabrus heard these words, he fell on to the ground. "So, how did you manage to escape from him," Ajax asked Dabrus, as he was the who said earlier that the was in a disadvantage, so he wondered how he escaped. "Hehe, you already have an answer fro the Summoning Master," When he heard Ajax''s question, Dabrusughed cunningly that made the elemental spirit beside him shiver. ******* Chapter 171: Auxiliary elemental spirit region

171 Auxiliary elemental spirit region

"..." Ajax was speechless at Dabrus''s words. He already knows that Dabrus was an intelligent spirit he had ever seen. "Actually, I yed dumb with that spirit until myst breath and used my skill ''Damage exchange'' which caused him, almost his life. With that much damage, he ran away with tail between his legs," seeing the speechless Ajax, Dabrus proudly said about his battle with space elemental spirit. "No wonder, you have such thick skin," Nite, who was beside Dabrus, said with a mocking tone. Dabrus didn''t give any reply to Nite''s mock but looked at Ajax for apliment. "Let''s enter that region first," However, Ajax pointed at a region in the distance which looked like it didn''t belong to any type of element. "Summoning Master, are you sure, you want to form a contract form that region?" Dabrus and Nite asked at the same time. "Why? Is there any problem with that region?" Ajax asked them. Since he wouldn''t die here, he wanted to venture more, so he asked them what the problem was with that region. "Once we, I mean Elemental spirits of different elements, enter into that region, we will face a suppression by that region, and We will be helpless against those elemental spirits in that region," Dabrus worriedly looked at Ajax hoping he wouldn''t make him enter that region. "Is that region that dangerous? What is it called?" Ajax''s interest in that region increased. "It''s called Auxiry elemental region which contains some auxiliary elemental spirits that belong to space, time, blood, etc. with separate small regions in that single region," Dabrus became silent to Ajax''s question for a moment. Still, when he was about to exin, Nite exined slowly with excitement in his voice. He was excited because the suppress didn''t work against him as his beast type element alsoes under auxiliary elements. He felt that he would be the one to protect Ajax and Dabrus when they enter into that region. As soon as Nite finished his exnation, Ajax also became excited as he knew some things about auxiliary type elemental spirits. Forming a contract with an auxiliary elemental spirit was a scarce thing to do. ''If I can form a contract with any of the auxiliary elemental spirit, then I can have more chances in the future to go against the Assassin sect. Although a level 1 auxiliary elemental spirit couldn''t do anything against a sect, when it bes powerful, a single elite elemental spirit general elemental spirit could take a group of elite general realm body cultivators. So, if he could have one auxiliary elemental spirit at his arsenal, his chances would increase when he goes against the assassin sect. Although many elemental spirits were willing to form a contract with a summoning master, not all elemental spirits would ept a contract that easily. Because they were cing their lives in the hands of that summoning master, every elemental spirit has specific standards of the summoning master they choose. Only when they satisfy those conditions, they were willing to form a contract. However, in Ajax''s case, due to his specialty ''Dark Elementalist'', the contract with Dabrus and Nite was smooth. And among all the elemental spirits, auxiliary elemental spirits were the most difficult ones as they have fewer cultivation areas in the outside worlds to cultivate. So their progression in the outside of the Elemental spirit world would be prolonged and time taking process. For that reason, they set some variety of standards for their summoning master, and only when they were satisfied would they form a contract with him/her. "Let''s do this," Ajax finally decided to go into that auxiliary elemental region to try his luck. Nite became excited while Dabrus was shocked and worried. However, he couldn''t leave his summoning master on the very first day, so followed behind Ajax and NIte. ''Ding, The host has entered into an Auxiliary elemental region. ''Ding, Although the host can only receive a small bacsh if he was killed in his spirit consciousness form, his elemental spirits would die if the auxiliary elemental spirits killed them. ''Ding, Be careful. "What?" Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notifications in his head. "Can''t I store my elemental spirits in my spirit consciousness?" Although Ajax found it was ridiculous to ask that question, nevertheless, he asked. ''Ding, Please stop joking, host. Ajax shook his head at the mock in those words. "Dabrus, you wait here until we return," He turned and looked at Dabrus since he was the one having his strength suppressing by the auxiliary elemental region, he asked him to stay outside the region. Ajax knew Nite doesn''t have any suppression, so he wanted to bring him inside the auxiliary elemental region. "No, summoning master, even though I fear for my life, I am not a coward," Dabrus resolutely replied to Ajax, who nodded his head in approval. Although Dabrus had a fear of the suppression by the region, he didn''t want his summoning master to think of him as a coward. Without any dy, Ajax and his two contracted elemental spirits entered into the auxiliary elemental spirit region. ''Ding, A special quest is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. ''I am waiting for you, my dear quest tab,'' as soon as he heard the system notification, he quickly checked the quest tab for the newly generated mission. Ajax already guessed that system would definitely generate a mission when he decided to enter the auxiliary elemental region. So, he was not shocked by the sudden mission. ''Ding, Special mission:- Form a contract with any of the auxiliary elemental spirits. Description:- A real summoning master should have an ability to form a contract with any elemental spirit regardless of the elemental. Rewards:- 1) A level up for any type of grade 1 elemental paradise. 2)A Chance to draw a lottery that has a 60 percent chance to win a specialty. Note:- A special lottery in which it has ten slots with six specialties slots and four empty slots. "What?" ******* Chapter 172: Conditions

172 Conditions

"What?" Ajax was shocked by the special mission that had no danger rating and no mission failure. "However, the rewards sure looks juicy," His eyes were always on the rewards section. Since this mission had two rewards, among them, one depends on luck, while the other one was a guaranteed reward. "With the first rewards, I can increase any one of my elemental paradises to grade 2, Hahaha." However, at present, he had only one grade 1 elemental paradise in his inner world, there was another one that he still put on hold as he wanted to build an elemental paradise that he required most. He wanted to wait until his dream awakening waspleted to build an elemental paradise for his official elemental spirit. However, he got another two dark elemental spirits (Shadow element is a sub-attribute of dark). "Let''s finish this finish before thinking about those things," Ajax shook his head and entered into the auxiliary elemental spirit region. ''Ding, Suppression by the auxiliary elemental spirit region has been imposed on the host''s contracted elemental spirit, Dabrus. ''Ding, His strength is limited to level 1 of the elemental spirit soldier. As soon as he and his contracted elemental spirits entered into the auxiliary elemental spirit region, he got a series of system notifications. "Huh? The suppression is this strong?" when he heard Dabrus''s words, Ajax didn''t understand clearly but seeing the suppression that was imposed on Dabrus, which directly brought the level 6 elemental spirit soldier to the level 1 of the elemental spirit soldier, he understood Dabrus''s earlier worries. "Nite, stay alert," Ajax ordered Nite to stay alert as he was the only one who was strong enough to protect them. Nite nodded his head as he understood Ajax''s words and heightened his senses. Slowly, he moved forward towards a region that looked like a void with many small portals that were hovering in the air. "Looks like this is a space elemental region," seeing all the portals around him, Ajax immediately concluded this region as a space elemental region. Ajax stopped for a moment to sense a rich space elemental essence of nature''s exact location around him. Although all the surroundings around were filled with space elemental essence of nature, he was sensing for a rich source of that elemental essence of nature. "There," Soon, he found an area that he felt had the most space elemental essence of nature and pointed his finger towards it. Nite nodded his head and headed towards the area that Ajax pointed to check for an elemental spirit. The reason behind Ajax''s logic was, most of the elemental spirits like to stay at a position where the rich elemental essence of nature was present. So many of the elemental spirits choose to either hibernate or rest in a rich elemental essence. "Nite, be careful." Just when Nite reached the area pointed by Ajax, thend beneath Nite shook before a portal appeared, which tried to suck Nite into it. However, the beast/dart elemental spirit, whose senses were on high alert, easily dodged the portal, making Ajax heave a sigh. "Who dared to enter my territory?" A voice came out of a particr portal after Nite dodged his earlier attack. "Hahaha," In reply to that voice''s question, Ajaxughed. "Why are youughing?" Seeing a human wasughing at his question, the voice asked in with a fit of anger in its tone. "I amughing because I think it''s funny. I came here to form a contract with you and you don''t even dare to show yourself," Ajax provoked the space elemental spirit with his words. "Huh? So you want to form a contract with me. Okay then," space elemental spirit slowly came out of a portal and stood in front of Ajax with a proud look on its face. Ajax observed the elemental spirit that stood before him, which was less than two meters high with a in silver-colored mask covering its face. A sliver colored cloak was behind his light ck colored transparent body. "You..." As soon as he saw the space elemental spirit, Dabrus, who stood silently behind Ajax, shouted with a shock on his face. "Oh, my my, you are also with him," Seeing Dabrus, space elemental spirit replied Dabrus with a happy tone. "Dabrus, you two know already?" Ajax asked Dabrus with a puzzled face. Even Nite also looked at Dabrus for the reply to Ajax''s question. "Summoning master, he was the one, who wanted me to be his ve," Dabrus replied slowly. "So, he was the one who ran with a tail between his legs in a fight with you," Ajax words added salt to Space elemental spirit''s wounds. "Yes," Even though he feared space elemental spirit''s battle prowess, he had enough confidence in Ajax and Nite. So he said proudly making space elemental spirit cough blood. Before Dabrus met Ajax, he met the space elemental spirit who called himself Prophis. ording to Prophis'' suggestion, Dabrus fought a friendly spar with him. Amidst the fight, Prorphis announced that the loser should be a ve to the winner since Prophis was in a winning position. However, Dabrus used his wits and cleverly defeated Prohis, who managed to escape from him. That didn''t mean Dabrus had greater strength than Prophis, so Dabrus feared Prophis woulde back for an act of revenge. "I agree that I abandon the fight, but it was because of my moment of carelessness that lead to it," Space elemental spirit tried to defend himself, but Ajax didn''t listen to his words. "Fine, now let''s focus on our contract, okay?" seeing that no one had listened to him, he suppressed his urge to kill Dabrus and continued, "I have two conditions to form a contract with you," a voice came behind that silver-colored mask. "Huh? What is it?" Ajax asked slowly. His n to provoke the elemental spirit toe out of the portal worked, so he didn''t want to miss a chance to form a contract with space elemental spirit, so he asked slowly about the conditions. "The first condition is, you have to win a fight against my ve elemental spirit," that space elemental spirit waved his hand. Soon a portal appeared beside Prophis. ******* Chapter 173: Elemental spirit:- Bane

173 Elemental spirit:- Bane

From the portal beside Prophis, a figure that was covered in a transparent light purple colored robe came out. It looked a little shorter and thinner than Prophis. Ajax sensed a weird elemental essence of nature that he was never sensed before, from the elemental spirit causing him to raise his brows. "If you can defeat him, with your own wits and strength, I will say the second condition," Seeing the frown on Ajax''s face, Prohis nodded his head in satisfaction and announced loudly. Because the elemental spirit he made ve was a rare type of auxiliary elemental spirit that belonged to poison type, but much weaker than any of the auxiliary elemental spirit. Ajax only frowned a little before using the system to know more about the elemental spirit beside Prophis. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Bane Elemental type:- Poison (Auxiliary) Cultivation:- Level 1 Elemental spirit soldier Skills:- 1) Poison mist (Level 1) Skill description:- When the skill was used, a 10-meter radius around the elemental spirit bes a field of mist that was filled with toxins for 30 minutes, which could even affect the beings of one major realm higher than the elemental spirit. Cooldown:- One hour Elemental Spirit Description:- One of the weakest elemental spirits in auxiliary type elemental spirits. "Another auxiliary spirit?" Ajax was shocked. He was shocked due to the fact that an auxiliary elemental spirit became a servant to another auxiliary spirit. However, he understood that Space elemental spirit, Prophis must have used some space-rted ability against the poison type elemental spirit, Bane, to dodged its Poison mist. "Now fight," Prophis acted as a referee for the fight between Ajax and Bane. As soon as Prophis said that, Bane hovered into the air and his robe, which covered him opened, releasing a light green colored gas which enveloped a 10-meter radius around him. "Already using your skill," Ajax smirked as he looked at the hovering poison type elemental spirit. ''I will just stay away from him until the skill effect disappears,'' Ajax thought to himself. At present, he doesn''t have any cultivation or his spatial des ability. He thought he should waste some time until the poison mist disappeared, and then he could use Nite''s sword to fight that elemental spirit, which he assumed had a weaker battle prowess. "Ah, one thing I forget to mention, you should defeat it within 20 minutes," seeing the smirking Ajax; Prophis slowly added another condition to the fight, which made Ajax puke some blood. "What the heck!" Ajax looked at the Silver cloaked elemental spirit and cursed. "If you don''t like it then you are free to leave," Prophis replied with a smirk on his face. However, Ajax didn''t leave the fight because he wanted to form a contract with that space elemental spirit, which was one of the strongest elemental spirits in auxiliary type elemental spirits. ''How can I defeat it, when I can''t even go closer to it?'' But the problem now was how he should defeat the Poison elemental spirit, which was covered in poison mist. ''Hehe, you dare toe to my region and insult me. Now I will y with you for some time,'' the space elemental spirit, Prophisughed in his heart, looking at the hopeless Ajax. As he was one of the high-grade elemental spirits in terms of elemental type, Prophis wanted to teach them a small lesson for his earlier insult. While he was thinking about it, Ajax suddenly thought of an idea, but he was not entirely sure about it. ''Let''s try this and find out whether it works or not,'' Ajax thought as he went towards the Poison mist, but he didn''t enter into it. "Hey, do you want to leave this elemental spirit world?" he used the most critical weakness of the elemental spirit and asked Bane. However, to his surprise, he didn''t sense Bane''s fluctuations as though he doesn''t want to leave the elemental spirit world. ''Why is he so silent?'' Ajax depressed when he didn''t get any response from Bane. "Huh? Do you want to form a contract with him? Nice try but it will not work, Hahaha," When he saw what Ajax was trying to do, Prophis mocked him andughed at his futile effort. ''If he doesn''t want to form a contract with me then how did this space elemental spirit manage to make him a servant?'' Ajax started his thinking about what could make an elemental spirit to work for other elemental spirits? ''Nite, Dabrus, do you know what auxiliary elemental spirits wants other than leaving this elemental spirit world?'' as he was unable to find out the exact reason, Ajax asked his two contracted elemental spirits through their contract. ''Summoning Master, I don''t know about auxiliary elemental spirits much, but what I like the most is a mutation in my element type,'' Dabrus replied Ajax through the same contract. ''Yes, summoning master, other than leaving this elemental spirit world, I like having a mutation in me. But I don''t have any hope in having a mutation as the dual element was already a small type of mutation and to have a second mutation, it''s almost an impossible thing unless I encounter a great fortuitous treasure,'' Nite exined clearly while supporting Dabrus''s reply. ''Okay,'' Ajax nodded his head in understanding. Since they were conversing through the contract, Prophis was unable to hear their words. Every elemental spirit wants two things; one was to form a contract with a strong summoning master, and the other one was to a mutation in their element. After analyzing the situation, Ajax wanted to talk with that poison type elemental spirit once again. ''Fine then, but if you form a contract with me, I can help you mutate. What do you say?'' Ajax said confidently, looking in the eyes of Bane, which were sunken into its transparent face. Ajax was not just making up some nonsense. He indeed had a way to mutate an elemental spirit. Hearing Ajax''s words, Prophis, who was standing in front of a portal, nearly fell. ''What? This human has a way to mutate an elemental spirit¡­ Impossible,'' Prophis looked at Ajax with a face full of disbelief. ******* Chapter 174: Special Mission completed

174 Special Missionpleted

ording to him, it was impossible to do, as it required a very rich elemental area for a mutation to ur. "Human, don''t fool me. It''s an impossible thing to do, as there are only a few areas with poison elemental essence of nature in the outside world," Bane, who was silent for some time, shook his head. and replied Ajax coldly. "If you want an elemental area that was suitable for you, I have it," Ajax didn''t slow down with his words, as he replied confidently, making that poison elemental spirit falter for his words. "Hahaha, Human, what are you trying to do? It''s an impossible thing for you to have a Poisonous elemental region," seeing that his ve was poached away by a human''s words, Prophisughed loudly. Hearing Prophis words, Bane once again shook his head, as it was an impossible thing for a human to have it. It was a general fact that humans couldn''t withstand the most dangerous poisons, so they directly concluded it as an impossible thing. "Okay then, if you don''t believe me then I will leave," Ajax shook his head and turned to look at his two contracted elemental spirits and continued saying, "Let''s go." Ajax turned around and walked out of the space elemental region. Although he turned, he walked rather slowly, hoping that the poison elemental spirit reconsiders his offer. "Wait" As expected, the poison elemental spirit stopped Ajax. "What?" Ajax asked irritatedly, but he was only showing it out. However, inside his heart, he wasughing that his trick was working as he expected. "Can you swear on your summoning profession, that you will help me mutate after I form a contract with you?" Bane looked at Prophis before looking at Ajax and asked him to swear. Although the swearing doesn''t have any effect on summoning masters or any of their elemental spirits, they would not swear on it carelessly. Because for a summoning master, summoning was an honor that they would not take it lightly. "I swear that I will help the poison elemental spirit to mutate in the future," Ajax didn''t hesitate for a second before swearing loudly. In actuality, Ajax had a way to help elemental spirits to mutate. When Dabrus and Nite said about mutation, Ajax immediately thought of Elemental paradises in his Inner World. At present, he only had Lightning and Dark Elemental paradises in his inner world system feature. However, he had another chance to create any other elemental paradise that he didn''t use for creating a useful elemental paradise in the future. To his surprise, he finally found the chance to create an elemental paradise. Ajax was willing to swear on the summoning profession because elemental paradise had a certain chance of mutating any spirit beasts or elemental spirits that cultivate in it for a long time. "Wait, I can make you mutate even quicker than that human," Prophis, looking at the poison elemental spirit''s back, quickly said. However, his words didn''t stop Bane from leaving. Bane soon reached Ajax and stood before him and said, "I hope you keep your promise." "I will," Ajax replied and ced his hand on the chest of the poison elemental spirit. Within a few seconds, Ajax got some system notifications informing about the sess of forming a contract. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with an Auxiliary type elemental spirit. ''Ding, Special mission:- Form a contract with any of the auxiliary elemental spirits ispleted. Description:- A real summoning master should have an ability to form a contract with any elemental spirit regardless of the elemental. Rewards:- 1) A level up for any type of grade 1 elemental paradise. 2)A Chance to draw a lottery that has a 60 percent chance to win a specialty. ''Yes,'' Ajax shouted in his head when he saw the information on the holographic screen. ''With the first reward, I can directly upgrade the poisonous type elemental paradise to grade 2 which will increase Bane''s chances of mutation,'' he nned about how to mutate his first auxiliary elemental spirit. When he formed an unofficial contract with the poison-type elemental spirit, he sensed some of Bane''s memories. In those memories, he was always attacked by the other auxiliary spirits and was scolded continuously by them as he shouldn''t be called an auxiliary elemental spirit. Furthermore, they used to say that it was an insult to other auxiliary elemental spirits by calling the poison type elemental spirit as an auxiliary elemental spirit. From then on, Bane always wanted only one thing in his life. That he wanted to mutate his element and be powerful. And if there were any chance of him encountering them in the future, he would return them their beatings. Ajax understood why this poison elemental spirit wants to mutate first rather than leave this elemental spirit. Among all the auxiliary elemental spirits, only Prophis showed some care for him, so he was willing to be his ve. That space elemental spirit also promised him in his mutation. However, he didn''t have any hope in that space elemental spirit, so he didn''t hesitate to leave him. Prophis also knew the reason for his leaving, so he didn''t bother about him much as he only promised him to console him. "I, Bane, the poison type elemental spirit thank the summoning master for forming a contract with me," As soon as the contract was formed, Bane bowed in front of Ajax and introduced himself to his summoning master. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head at the bowing elemental spirit. "Is it considered as me defeating him?" After the little contracting ceremony waspleted, Ajax turned to look at the silver cloaked elemental spirit and asked. "Yes," Prophis replied, nodding his head. "Since I satisfied your first condition, what is your second condition," Ajax asked as he thought something was wrong as the space elemental spirit before him agreed without any hesitation. "Before I say my second condition, let me ask you something," Instead of announcing his second condition, Prophis said, he wanted to ask something. ''Here ites,'' Ajax thought in his head but said, "What do you want to ask?" ******* Chapter 175: New special mission

175 New special mission

Space elemental spirit hesitated for a second before asking, "Do you really have a way to mutate an elemental spirit?" "Yes, but it will take time though," Ajax was somewhat excited when he heard space elemental spirit''s words. He thought that he could form a contract with another auxiliary elemental spirit, so of course, he was excited. "Okay," Prophis nodded his head and said, "My second condition to form a contract with you is I want an official contract." "Huh?" Ajax didn''t expect that space elemental spirit''s second condition was to form an official contract. However, he needs to wait until he reached the general realm to form another official contract. So without any choice, Ajax replied, "Sorry, I can''t form an official contract with you at the moment." He sighed at missing an easy chance to form a contract with an auxiliary elemental spirit. "I am not willing to form an unofficial contract with you," space elemental spirit also shook his head. "Why do you need an official contract?" Ajax asked as he didn''t know the actual difference between the official and unofficial contracts yet. "You don''t know?" Prophis asked Ajax confusedly. The reason for his confusion was how anyone could be a summoning master without knowing the actual difference between an official and an unofficial contract. Bane, the poison elemental spirit, also puzzled at Ajax''s question. Even his own officially contracted elemental spirits were puzzled at their Summoning master, who doesn''t know the summoning''s fundamental question. "I really don''t," Ajax embarrassedly replied. As no one said anything about the official and unofficial contract differences, he didn''t know about it. "Sigh...I wonder how you became a summoning master" the space elemental spirit looked at Ajax and sighed as he exined, "An official elemental spirit can erase the spiritual imprint in his/her spirit consciousness by the summoning master whereas unofficial elemental spirits can''t." When he heard Prophis''s words, Ajax was shocked. "However, erasing the spiritual imprint on his/her spirit consciousness will take away all their cultivation along with imprint," Prophis continued his exnation seeing Ajax''s dumbfounded expression. "What? Official elemental spirits can erase the spiritual imprint ced by summoning masters?" Ajax was still in the shock with official and unofficial contract thing. However, he soon managed to recover from his shock. ''So, that''s why Dabrus and Nite actively formed an official contract with me,'' He found another reason for his easy contract process. "So where will those elemental spirits that erased the spiritual imprint would go?" Ajax asked Prophis. "So you are not willing to form an unofficial contract because of this," Ajax finally understood the real importance between the official and unofficial elemental spirits. Official elemental spirits could leave their summoning masters at the cost of their cultivation, whereas unofficial elemental spirits were bund to the summoning master until their death. "Yes, I only want to form an official contract," Prophis replied seriously about his choice. "Okay then, However, if I want to form a contract with you in the future, how can I find you?" Ajax said after thinking for a moment. How could he leave a space elemental spirit that was agreed to form a contract with him that easily? So he wanted to ask him if there was any way to find him when Ajax visits the elemental spirit when he reaches the general realm. When he reaches the general realm, he could form an official contract, so he asked with some hope. "Huh?" Prophis looked at Ajax''s face, which was filled with some hope but shook his head as he said, "There is no way. Let''s leave that to fate." Hearing his words, Ajax felt disappointed. Amidst his disappointment, a system notification came, which puzzled him. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check. Ajax quickly looked at the quest tab with some hope. He was expectant because the system would always help him at the most crucial point. ''Ding, Special mission:- Form a contract with an elemental spirit. Reward:- The system will help the host regarding the space elemental spirit. Time limit:-?30 minutes Danger rating:- none Description:- The host has only 30 minutes left to remain in the elemental spirit world, soplete the special mission as soon as possible. ''What? The system will help me regarding Prophis?'' Ajax''s earlier disappointment disappeared into thin air, and excitement filled in his face. ''But the problem is how to find an elemental spirit that is willing to form an unofficial contract with me in 30 minutes,'' However, he doesn''t have enough time to search for an elemental spirit. Even if he finds one, he had to convince that elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract with him. ''It''s impossible I think. This system is only showing me some hope before throwing me into the abyss of despair,'' Ajax shook his and checked his surroundings for something that could help him form a contract with an elemental spirit quickly. As he was checking on his surroundings, his eyesnded on the space elemental spirit, Prophis, standing in front of a 2-meter portal. ''Let''s see what skill it has,'' Ajax thought in his head as he prayed and check his information, "Please, it should have some kind of teleportation skill." ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Prophis Element type:- Space (Auxiliary type) Cultivation:- Level 1 elemental spirit soldier Skills:- 1) Teleport (Level 1) Skill description:- An ordinary space type skill that can create a portal to another ce that was already marked by the elemental spirit. Limitations:- Can teleport three times a day, and only three beings can travel through the portal. Remaining teleportations:- 2/3 times "Yes," Ajax excitedly shouted, making all the elemental spirits look at him with a puzzle. Seeing he was being looked like an idiot, Ajax calmed and looked at the space elemental spirit. "If you want to form an official contract with me, I have a way for that," Ajax slowly said to Prophis and continued speaking, "However, I need a small help first." "Sure, what is it?" Like any other elemental spirits, Prophis also wanted to leave this elemental spirit world. However, he only wanted to form an official contract, so when Ajax said, he had a way to form an official contract, Prophis asked what the help he needed was. ********* Chapter 176: Elemental spirit:- Cerauno

176 Elemental spirit:- Cerauno

"I want you to find an Elemental spirit and convince it to form an unofficial contract with me, and then I will say about how to form an official contract," Ajax asked politely. He didn''t want Prophis to think that he was using him to form a contract with an elemental spirit, so he acted politely. "Huh?" Hearing Ajax''s words, Prophis looked at him for a moment before nodding his head. "But if you go back on your words, I will let you know about my anger," Prophis looked at Ajax and warned him. After warning him, Prophis waved his hand. Soon a portal appeared in front of him. "Let''s go," Prophis turned to Ajax and said. "You three, stay here until wee back," Ajax said to his contracted elemental spirits before entering the portal with Prophis. ... Somewhere in the elemental spirit world, A ce that was rumbled continuously with thunders and shes of lightning. Suddenly a 2-meter portal appeared amidst those thunders and shes of lightning. From the portal, an elemental spirit that had a silver-colored cloak behind his back and the same colored mask on his face, which was expressionless. Behind that elemental spirit stood a young man with a ck hair and handsome face. "Huh? A thunder elemental region?" Ajax asked Prophis with a surprised look. "Yes, I ced a mark in this elemental region to teleport, because he was an acquaintance of me who always wanted to leave the elemental spirit world," Prophis said nonchntly. "Oh! An acquaintance?" Ajax was slowly beginning to understand that elemental sprits were also having some simrities like humans. "We meet once and battle with each other. And approved the strength of each other," saying that Prophis moved towards a cave surrounded by shes of lightning and bolts of thunder. "Cerauno,e out," Prophis shouted in the direction of the cave. After a few moments, an elemental spirit appeared in front of Prophis out of nowhere. ''What a speed!'' seeing the speed of the elemental spirit that appeared in front of Prophis, Ajax eximed silently. "Hey there, Prophis. Why did youe here? Do you need any help?" The lightning elemental spirit didn''t give any time for Prophis to speak and instead asked many questions. "Look, I brought a summoning master here," Pointing at Ajax, Prophis said to the lightning elemental spirit. "Huh? Why did you bring him here?" Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit, asked, raising a brow. He thought that if a summoning master came, Prophis would have long formed a contract with him. Why would he bring him here? "I brought him here so that you can form a contract with him and leave this elemental spirit world that you hate," Prophis said the reason he brought Ajax to this lightning elemental region. "Let me exin to you clearly. He can''t form an official contract now as he doesn''t have sufficient strength. Only an unofficial contract is avable, so I brought him here since you wanted to leave this elemental spirit world very badly," Prophis exined everything about Ajax. "Okay, I agree to from an unofficial contract with you on one condition," After hearing about everything that happened at the space elemental region and Ajax''s promise about mutation, Cerauno agreed with one condition. "What condition?" Ajax asked excitedly. Since he was going to form a contract with another auxiliary elemental spirit, he was excited and asked about the condition. That''s right; the Lightning elemental spirit also falls under auxiliary elemental spirits. The lightning elemental spirits were almost the same level as space elemental spirits but not equal. "I want to test your battle prowess," Cerauno said without thinking much. Even though he was okay with any contract, he wants to form that contract with a strong summoning master. So he wanted to test the battle prowess of the Ajax. Hearing this, Ajax didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry. "What? Already scared?" seeing his facial expressions, Cerauno mocked Ajax. "Don''t you know, I didn''t have a shed of cultivation in this spirit consciousness form," Ajax replied with a mock from his side as a courtesy. "I know that. I will not use my skill and only use my physical strength, and if you want, I can even give you a weapon," Cerauno nodded his head as he exined. "Okay," Ajax agreed. Although he didn''t know the exact physical strength of the lightning elemental spirit, he had some confidence that he could win the battle with a weapon. ''I hope I can use my recently learned sword technique here,'' Ajax thought and asked Cerauno, "I want a sword to fight." Before he entered this dream awakening, he managed to learn a sword technique and sessfullyprehended a level 1 fastest type sword dao. Even though his sword dao was only level 1, it could boost his attacking power by 20 percent, so he asked a sword to fight against the lightning elemental spirit. "A sword? Good," Cerauno nodded his head and formed a lightning bolt in his hand. After it formed, he casually mumbled something, and the lightning in his turned into a sword. The converted sword lookedpletely white except for its hilt, which had a hint of purple color. "Take it," Cerauno tossed the sword at Ajax asked him to take it. Ajax caught the hilt of the sword felt some light shocks from it. "You will feel some shocks, take a few moments to adjust to it," Cerauno exined Ajax about the shocks from the sword. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and tried to analyze the sword with the help of the system. ''Ding, Item name:- Basic Lightning Sword Description:- A sword made from a lightning bolt by the Lightning elemental spirit, Cerauno. Effects:- A small numbing sensation for a few moments to the one who holds it. ''Woah! So he can form weapons from the lightning bolts. How useful,'' Ajax praised Cerauno''s skill at making weapons. ''Is this his first skill?'' Ajax thought about the fundamental skills of the elemental spirits, which were awakened own their own and looked at Cerauno to find his information. ''Ding, ********* Chapter 177: Impress me

177 Impress me

''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Cerauno Element type:- Lightning (Auxiliary) Cultivation:- Level 1 Elemental spirit soldier. Skills:- 1) Weapon maker (Level 1) Skill Description:- Can make any weapon from the lighting essence from his body. Note:- Can make higher-level weapons after the skill levels up. Elemental spirit description:- An elemental spirit that was born in an extremely rich lightning essence that knows how to manipte lightning to its will. ''Weapon maker? What cool name for a skill,'' Ajax marveled at Cerauno''s skill name and its description. Ajax''s curiousness towards elemental spirits increased and wanted to find more elemental spirits to know their skills and, he also thought if he had a chance, he should form a contract with them. "Are you ready?" Cerauno asked Ajax after a few moments assuming that Ajax got used to the basic lightning sword. "Yes," When he heard Cerauno, Ajax came out of his thoughts and replied with a nod. ''Swoosh,'' As soon as Ajax replied, Cerauno vanished from his standing position and appeared in front of Ajax within seconds and kicked him. Ajax blocked Cerauno''s kick with his elbow, but he forgot he didn''t have his original cultivation, so he was sted away. Before Ajax could stand up,?the lightning elemental spirit rushed towards him in an attempt to give a lower kick. Ajax barely had any time to dodge the iing kick, so instead of trying t stand up, he held the lightning sword in his hand tightly as though he was preparing to receive the kick. In return, he would also deal with some severe damage with his recently learned sword technique. When the kick was about tond on him, Ajax shed the lightning sword in his hand with his fastest speed, aiming to cleave the leg of the lightning elemental spirit. However, what Ajax expected didn''t happen as the lightning elemental spirit stopped his kick and dodged his sword technique. "A fast type sword doa? Interesting," Cerauno shocked for a moment before he said ''interesting.'' "Huh?" Ajax looked at the lightning elemental spirit and was shocked. ''With a single look, he was able to say my sword dao type,'' Ajax thought in his head, still feeling shocked. "No need to feel shocked, Ajax," the space elemental spirit, Prophis, who stood in the distance, looked at Ajax''s shocked face and smiled. Simrly, a small smile was also shown on the Lightning elemental spirit''s face. "Huh?" Ajax looked at Prophis in confusion. ording to him, it was impossible for elemental spirits to know about these sword daos, which were discovered and cultivated by humans, so he found it hard not to feel shocked. "Am I wrong?" Instead of answering, Ajax replied with a question. "Yes, if you really think like that, let me show you my sword dao," As soon as he said that, he quickly made a new basic lightning sword form a bolt of lightning that was surrounding the cave, which he came out from earlier. The converted sword looked just like the one he made for Ajax. ''Siing.'' However, in his hand, the sword continuously made a small ''siing'' noise as though it was happy and looked like it had a life of its own. "What? How can he do something like that?" Ajax was shocked to see an elemental spirit to learn a level 2 sword dao. "Do you want to see the real fastest type sword dao?" Cerauno asked, but he didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply and swung the sword at lightning speed, which Ajax was barely able to see. Mostly, he only saw the after images of the lightning sword. "Since you also cultivate a sword dao, let me make this fight easier for you as a fellow sword cultivator," Cerauno acted as a magnanimous. Still, Ajax thought the exact reverse would happen after hearing Cerauno''s words. "If youprehend your sword dao to level 2 which is the same level as me, I will form the contract without any hesitation. What do you say?" Cerauno said with a small smile on his transparent face. "What?" Ajax and Prophis shouted out loud at the same time at Cerauno''s words. Both were shouted by the insane condition for forming a contract with Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit. "Why don''t you just say him to leave if you don''t want to form a contract with him," As Ajax was disappointed with the insane condition, Prophis, the space elemental spirit, came in front of Ajax and scolded Cerauno for being insane with his condition. It was called insane condition that it''s impossible to cultivate a sword dao to level 2 in a few months, or even years, much less Cerauno was asking Ajax to cultivate his fastest-type sword dao to level 2 in only a few hours. Prophis didn''t know how much time was left for Ajax to remain in the elemental spirit world but, in general, a summoning master who came to the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form couldn''t stay for more than six-eight hours depending on the spirit consciousness of his/her. So he scolded Cerauno for being unreasonable. "Okay okay. Calm down," seeing his acquaintance scolded him, Cerauno agreed to change his condition, "Since you are saying I am unreasonable, I will change my condition to a much simpler than before." Saying until there, he stooped for a second before looking at Ajax and said, "Impress me with your swordy." "..." Hearing his words, Ajax and Prophis became speechless but didn''t say anything, as it was not unreasonable condition considering the summoning master was a sword dao cultivator. So, Prophis moved away from Ajax and stood in the distance to watch how Ajax would do his swordy and impress Cerauno. "Uff," seeing that even Prophis left him, he breathed a long sigh before taking out the lighting sword. However, just as he was about to start, he stopped. Because he learned only one sword technique, which was not a technique, to begin with. So, Ajax thought that Cerauno would mock him if he disyed his only sword move as swordy. Although it was converted into a sword technique, Ajax still thought it was a sword move because it only had a single move. ********* Chapter 178: Sword Wave

178 Sword Wave

''Whatever, I only have that one technique to disy anyway. If he didn''t like it, then thest thing that will happen is not getting a contract with Cerauno,'' Ajax thought in his mind, as he finally decided to showcase his sword technique that was converted from a sword move. However, deep down in his heart, Ajax had a small hope that he could impress the lightning elemental spirit with his single sword technique. Taking a deep breath, Ajax closed his eyes and tried to remember the images that were shed in his head when he received the small sword''s inheritance. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, which shone with confidence. ''Is it me or my eyes ying with me?'' seeing the confident look in Ajax''s eyes, Cerauo and Prophis thought in their heads individually. ''Swoosh.'' Ajax shed the sword horizontally with all his power. As soon as he shed the lightning sword, it sliced through the air very smoothly and a small wave as emitted by the sh, which traveled 2-3 meters before disappearing. "What?" Cerauno and Prophis were shocked to see the small wave which traveled 2-3 meters. They were shocked because that sword move was very fluent and sliced through the air very smoothly, and most importantly, that sword move was able to create a sword wave which, only peak level 1 sword dao cultivator could do it. Even then, they could only release the sword wave up to less than 2 meters. However, Ajax was able to form a sword wave that could travel more than 2 meters with only a level 1 sword dao. So, they were shocked. Not only them, but even Ajax was also shocked by his own sword technique. Because he doesn''t know he would be able to create a sword wave. If he knows he would not have worried much about forming a contract with the lightning elemental spirit. It''s not Ajax''s fault for not knowing about sword wave, as he didn''t use his sword attack after he sessfully set foot into the sword dao. After he entered into the sword dao with the 100th perfect sh of his mountain splitting sword technique, he didn''t use it again as he was entered into the elemental spirit world in his sleep. So when he used the sword technique now with his full focus, he was able o create a sword wave, which made other elemental spirits shocked. "How is it? Are you impressed?" Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax turned to Cerauno and asked with a small smile. "Of course I am impressed but I am wondering how you were able to form a sword wave that could travel more than two meters with only Basic level 1 sword dao?" Cerauno walked towards Ajax, agreeing that he was impressed and asked a question. "Hehe," Ajax gave a smallugh as a reply to Cerauno. Seeing that Ajax was not saying anything about his secret, Cerauno also didn''t bother asking him. Instead, he bowed to Ajax and said, "I am willing to form a contract with you." Most of the elemental spirits won''t go against their words. When Ajaxpleted the task given by Cerauno, he was willing to form a contract with Ajax without any hesitation. ''Hurray!'' Ajax was over the moon when he saw the actions of Cerauno and went to him. "No need to bow," Ajax said to Cerauno with modest. He respected Cerauno for his strength, so he stooped him from bowing. Cerauno was not a normal elemental spirit. He was an auxiliary elemental spirit who cultivated Sword dao to level 2. With all these abilities, Ajax''s respect for him increased a lot. "So Cerauno, will that the elemental spirits can learn different Daos just like humans and other humanoid beings," he asked Cerauno about his earlier doubts. "Although it is rare for an elemental spirit to learn a specific sword dao, it''s not an impossible thing," Cerauno exined Ajax''s question and continued, "Some elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world enter into hibernation to pass their boring time in here, whereas some elemental spirits started practicing with weapons to ovee their boring time." "Eventually, among them, some elemental spirits managed to learn a weapon dao that they were focusing on," Cerauno stopped his exnation. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head in understanding. "And among them, Cerauno was one of a few elemental spirits who managed to learn a sword dao (Fast type)," Prophis came towards them and praised Cerauno with envy. "So, what type of weapon did you practice with? Prophis," Ajax asked the space elemental spirit, Prophis. "I practised with¡­," Before he could finish his words, Ajax got a system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The host only left 5 minutes more to leave the elemental spirit world. ''Ding, Complete the missions before that. Seeing the system notifications, Ajax became anxious and turned to Cerauno. "Cerauno, there is no time. Come, let''s form the contract quickly," Ajax babbled, urging Cerauno toe forward. Hearing Ajax''s anxious voice, Prophis stopped speaking and looked at his surroundings to know the reason for his anxiousness. But he didn''t find anyone. Cerauno came forward, stood in front of Ajax, and let him enter into his spirit consciousness to ce a spirit mark. ''Huh? It''s just like Snow''s spirit consciousness but its way peaceful than Snow''s which was fierce,'' After entering into Cerauno''s spirit consciousness, Ajax remembered Snow as they both belonged to lightning elemental. Still, their spirit consciousness looked way too different. One was peaceful, whereas another one was violet. Without wasting any time, Ajax ced a spiritual mark in the peaceful spirit consciousness beforeing out. As soon as he came out, the system notifications rang once again. ''Ding, Special mission:- Form a contract with an elemental spirit ispleted. Reward:- The system will help the host regarding the space elemental spirit. ''Ding, Do you want to use the reward now? "Yes," without any hesitation, Ajax chose to use the reward. ********* Chapter 179: Meeting in the assassin sec

179 Meeting in the assassin sec

As soon as he chose the reward, a small piece of his spirit consciousness came out of him and entered into the space elemental spirit. ''Ding, Connecting the host to the space elemental spirit ispleted. ''What? Did Prophis be my official contracted space elemental spirit?'' Ajax didn''t understand what had happened just now. ''Ding, No, he didn''t form a contract with you yet. ''Then?'' Ajax asked the system in his head. ''Ding, When the host enters the Elemental spirit world, he can sense the space elemental spirit''s location and space elemental spirit can also do the same. ''Ding, So, after the host achieves the general realm cultivation in his spirit cultivation and enters the elemental spirit world again, he could form an official contract with the space elemental spirit. ''So, you helped us to sense each other in the elemental spirit world,'' Although Ajax was disappointed with the reward, he felt it was okay. When the special mission was generated, and he saw the reward for it, he expected that system would help him with the contract. Still, it only made him in sensing the space elemental spirit, Prophis in the elemental spirit. ''I guess, I should be satisfied with this,'' Ajax consoled himself and turned to Prophis. "Prophis, are you feeling anything?" Ajax asked the space elemental spirit. "Huh?" Prophis didn''t understand what Ajax said. "I mean, are you able to sense me with your spirit consciousness," seeing that Prophis didn''t get what he meant, he said once again, but in detail. Prophis closed his eyes and tried to sense Ajax''s presence. "Huh?" Prophis opened his eyes abruptly and shockingly looked at Ajax. "How did you do it?" After suppressing his shock, Prophis asked him about his doubt. The energy form Ajax that entered into Prophis''s spirit consciousness was not visible to anyone except for Ajax. So, Prophis was shocked. "It will help us to meet in the future when Ie here again for my General realm official contract," Ajax didn''t exin his question. Instead, he said how it would be useful in the future? "Yes, I will wait until then," Prophis was finally excited. Despite the fact that it would take some months or even years, Prophis was willing to wait for that time to form an official contract. "Prophis, let''s go back. I don''t have much time left," Ajax urged him to take him back to his contracted elemental spirits. "Okay," Prophis nodded his head in understanding and waved his hand, opening a portal big enough for three people. The entire time, Cerauno didn''t talk anything as he didn''t understand the deal between them. Soon they returned to the space elemental region where Ajax left his elemental spirits. As soon as he came out of the portal, Ajax saw that three of his contracted elemental spirits were sitting and resting. Since they were not in a suitable region that was rted to their element, they couldn''t cultivate, so they just sat without doing anything. Seeing Ajax and other elemental spiritsing from the portal, the idle elemental spirit stood up. When he reached his contracted elemental spirits with Cerauno, Ajax got some system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The time to stay in the Elemental spirit world is over. ''Ding, Transporting the host''s spirit consciousness along with his contracted (Official and unofficial) elemental spirits into his body in 30 seconds. "Prophis, I will try toe back as soon as possible to form an official contract with you," Seeing the series of system notifications, Ajax said to Prophis, who was the only elemental spirit around him that didn''t form a contract with him. "I will wait," Prophis replied, nodding his head. Although he couldn''t see Prophis''s expression, Ajax guessed that he had a smile on his face when he said those words. "Bye," Ajax nodded his head and disappeared from the elemental spirit world. "Bye, Prophis" Cerauno also waved his hand at him before disappearing. Not only Cerauno, all other elemental spirits that were contracted disappeared into thin air. "I hope hees back soon," Prophis mumbled, seeing all the contracted elemental spirits that were disappeared in front of him. ¡­.. In the assassin sect, "Why do our sect elders conduct a meeting every day?" one assassin sect''s disciple asked another. "I don''t know much. But there is a rumour that Five main families were trying to overthrow one of the sects," the second disciple replied in a whisper. "Really?" the first disciple who asked the question, shouted when he heard those words. "Dummy, I said it''s a rumour," With a smack on first disciple''s head, the second disciple scolded him. ..... In the meeting hall of the assassin sect, "First elder, what is toady''s reason for the meeting," The second elder asked slowly, seeing the meeting hall was full of all the elders of the sect. From the past few days, there was daily, one meeting, which made all the elders irritated. Most of the past meetings were about the five main families, which they think, were nning to eliminate one of the sects and making other two sects as their subsidiary families. Subsidiary families were considered as a servant family that had to pay taxes and send their genius to the main families to be trained. The geniuses sent to the main families would be turned into the main family member of that family by marrying him/her into that family. By doing so, the sects would never have any chance to rise again. "In general, every main family had almost equal strength, but they were stillcking. However, if all the five main families formed into an alliance, they would have the strength to destroy all the three top sects. Still, the five main families, have a small doubt about their win, so they were waiting for an appropriate time to attack us," seeing the impatient looks on every sect elder, the first elder who had the highest cultivation shooks his head. Because even he had been feeling frustrated during these past few days. Nevertheless, he tried to calm all the elders by saying a few words about the strengths of five families and the top three sects. ********* Chapter 180: Two Missions

180 Two Missions

Hearing those words, all the elders nodded their heads. Although defeating the top sects might be morefortable for the main families if they were defending, however, when they were in the attacking, winning against them was almost impossible. Because every top sect was protected by a mid-level rank six array formation, which would defend all the attacks from a level 5 elite general realm cultivators and below. In all the Zrochester province, the elite general realm cultivators could be counted on two fingers. So, as long as they were defending, even the royal family, who had the highest power in the province, couldn''t go an all-out war with any of the top sects. Not only top sects, but main families also had a rank 6 array, albeit, it was only a low-level among the rank 6 arrays. "However, the reason we gathered here today has nothing to do with the five main families," The first elder said after the meeting hall was calmed down. "What?" "Huh?" Some elders shouted ''What?'' in shock, whereas others raised their brows with a ''Huh?'' "I reason we gathered here today is to announce a mission to all the sect elders," The first elder said without bothering the elders'' shocked reactions. "What??If it was a mission, then why don''t you ce it in the third elder''s hands," The second elder, who had almost the same strength as that of the first elder said with irritation on his face. In the assassin set, every elder manages a hall that had its own operations. For example, the first elder manages the discipline hall, which maintains order in the sect between the assassin sect''s disciples from killing each other. Whereas, the mission hall was operated by the third elder who assigns the danger rating and rewards for the iing missions. So, when the second elder heard that the meeting was about a mission, he said those words. "If it is a simple mission, I would have done that dly. However, it is not as simple as you think," the first elder said with a gentle smile on his face. Seeing the gentle smile, except for the second elder, all others have shivered. All the elders know that the first elder was not a person with a carefree attitude. He remembers even the slightest thing that irritates him and ys with those who caused those most insignificant things. Seeing the smile, the second didn''t speak and waited for the first elder''s remaining words. "The mission was from the headquarters," Looking at the silent meeting hall, the first elder nodded his head and slowly said. However, to the remaining elders, those words sounded like a rumble of thunder in their ears. Headquarters was a mysterious ce for them that could increase their cultivation speed and, at the same time, kill them if they went against the rules set by it without any hesitation. Since the mission was from the headquarters, the rewards would be even higher, so they were excited to know more about the mission. However, on the third elder''s face, a frown was formed hearing those words. ''Don''t tell me it was rted to the earlier missions,'' As the mission hall head, he did two secret missions from the headquarters in the past few months which were not even known by the first elder. Despite the fact he took two missions from the headquarters, he was unable toplete them, and the rewards he was promised were also not given. He thought this mission was given to all the elders since he was not reliable inpleting the mission. ''Sigh¡­ I should have gone toplete the first mission, then I would have be more powerful than the first elder,'' the third elder shook his head. A few months back, he got a secret mission from the headquarters that he had to find an item by killing all the children from the Vr city. Since there were not many high-level cultivators in that city, he didn''t take it seriously. Nevertheless, he sent his personal disciples who were extremely loyal to him for that mission. Even after killing all the children below the age of 14 in the city, they didn''t find any item that was said to be appeared after killing the child. After observing clearly, one of his personal disciples was disappeared without a trace. "Third elder, what are you thinking?" seeing him space out into thin air, the first elder asked him. "Nothing nothing," Stopping his train of thoughts about the past, the third elder shook his head as it was nothing. "We have two missions. Not one but two," The first elder started speaking, stressing out that there were two missions from the headquarters. All the elders were excited when they heard there were two missions. Any random mission from the headquarters would have a decent reward. So they were obviously excited about the missions. "There is a boy with that Edmond guy from the Hazegroove family, you know right?. We have to assassinate that boy without alerting that Edmond," the first elder opened a scroll from his space ring and read the details on it before exining it out. The second and third elders nodded their heads as though they remembered something from the past. As for the other elders, they thought for a moment and nodded their heads. "The mission has toplete before that kid reaches the royal capital for the champions contest," The first elder stroking his white beard announced the time limit for the first mission. "Isn''t there more than two months before the champions contest starts?" some of the elders discussed the time and calmed down as there was more than enough time toplete the mission. However, some of the elders thought about the reason behind killing that boy, which they were unable to find out. Unlike them, the third elder had some idea about the mission. ording to the second mission he got from the headquarters, a child had escaped from the massacre and survived. So, he had to kill that brat from the Hazegroove mercenary squad who appeared out of nowhere. In the mission, he got, it was said that there was a small chance that this Hazegroove squad brat was the child that escaped the massacre. ********* Chapter 181: Lucrative Rewards

181 Lucrative Rewards

However, the third elder didn''t believe it, though. Since the child escaped from the massacre was less than 15 years old. And the brat from the Hazegroove mercenary squad already reached the peak elite soldier realm by the time he got the mission. Nevertheless, the third elder didn''t care about that, since he was getting a reward for the mission, he sent his disciples to kill the boy named Ajax, who took a mission alone in the Cursed Abyss. On the contrary, things didn''t go as he expected. All his personal disciples went missing in the Cursed Abyss, leaving the mission iplete, and his target returned safely to the Goldcrest town. ''Sigh...Damn those five main families I am going to show you the real hell when you start that bloody revolution,'' The third elder thought in his mind as he assumed that the reason behind the missing of his personal disciple team was rted to five main families. More than his care for his disciples, his anger towards them was increased because it cost him his rewards from the headquarters. ''So, the headquarters thought I am no longer reliable..sigh,'' the third elder sighed. It was not his first time doing the Headquarters'' secret missions, so he knew how they would reward him if hepleted their mission. ''But now, I will actively take this mission into my hands and prove them I canplete their missions,'' After a few moments of sighing, his confidence boosted, thinking that, if hepletes any of the missions, he will get more secret missions from the headquarters. "As for the reward for this mission, it was a chance to enter into the Evil underworld spring to cultivate for a week," Even the first elder''s voice shook when he announced the reward for the mission. "What?" "A chance to cultivate in the Evil underworld spring?" "For a week?" All the elders were shocked at the reward for killing a recently enteredmander realm brat. Even the second elder who was rarely shown interested in anything was excited a little and nodded his head. Only the third elder shook his head silently as this was the least reward he got in his many secret missions. ''I don''t care about that spring anymore, as it won''t be any use to me anyway. However I shouldplete the mission to prove them my worth,'' he thought silently and wondered about the second mission. "Huh?" the first elder frowned a little seeing the scroll he was holding and continued saying, "There is a note under the mission if any cube forms after killing him, then the reward will be multiplied 3 times and will be given an outer elder position in the headquarters." "What the heck! Is it really real?" the seventh elder stood up and asked loudly, forgetting that he was asking that question to the first elder. "S..sorry first elder. I was excited earlier. Please forgive me for my impudence," Seeing that devil''s smile, the seventh elder shuddered before apologizing him with a bow. "Don''t need to be so formal, junior elder, we are all from the same sect, right? Even I was shocked by the reward," The first elder said, epting the apology. When the first elder confirmed the reward, all the elders'' eyes shone with greed and swore that they wouldplete the mission at any cost. Soon after that, the first elder burned the scroll and took out another scroll from his space ring and started reading it aloud. "Find a youth around 15 years old and has an elemental affinity with three or more than three elements and bring him to the headquarters," the first elder read at a normal pace; however, when he reached the end, his voice stopped in his throat. "What happened, first elder?" "Is there something wrong with the reward?" "I think it was an impossible mission with some terrible condition," All the elders asked, seeing the first elder stopped reading the mission details all of a sudden. "Huh? It''s nothing. I was shocked by this mission''s reward even more than earlier," he stabilized himself before announcing the reward for the second mission. "The reward for the mission is that the Headquarters will owe them a favor which they can ask anything. As long as it was reasonable, the headquarters will not reject it. And they will be given a chance to enter the treasure hall of the Headquarters and can pick any item from it," his voice became shakier as he read it. ".." All the elders became speechless with the back to back shocking rewards from the second mission. "Am I dreaming?" Some of the elders said as they pinched themselves to test. But the pain really brought them back and said that it was all true and they were not dreaming. Among all the elders, the first elder, along with the second and the third elder, were the first ones to calm down from the shocks. "Although the rewards seem lucrative, the mission was almost impossible toplete," the second elder shook his head at the impossible mission. Although it seemed simple, it was impossible to find a dual elemental affinity cultivator, much less three or more than three elemental affinity cultivators. Hearing the second elder''s words, all the elders stopped thinking about the rewards and started thinking about the mission. "Why is headquarters even issuing this mission?" "Are they making fools by giving us an impossible mission?" Some elders got angry and shouted to express their dissatisfaction at the headquarters. However, if anyone from the headquarters would have present here, no one would even make noise much less show their dissatisfaction towards the headquarters. "Stop it," the first elder just said a word which made the meeting hall silent once again. "Headquarters knows what they are doing. If you want the reward thenplete the mission. And one more thing both the missions were to bepleted secretly without alerting the other sects and most importantly the royal family," After finishing his words, the first elder burned the scroll in his hand. "Aside from that, there was a small warning from the sect leader that no one should kill any of the elder or disciples of our sect while you werepleting the missions," the first elder said slowly after burning the scroll in his hand. ********* Chapter 182: Monster peach ripens

182 Monster peach ripens

It was amon thing for humans to be greedy at the lucrative rewards. So they don''t think much for killing others to get those rewards. Hence, the sect master of the assassin sect predicted that there would be some internal war between the fellow elders for the headquarters'' rewards. So, he warned everyone not to fight internally. "Yes, first elder," All the elders nodded their heads in agreement. However, in their hearts, they thought differently. Seeing those two-faced elders, the second elder shook his head as he knew what they would do if anyonees in their way. "Okay then. The meeting is over," the first elder thundered and left the meeting Hall in a hurry. All the elders also left one by one. Each with their own ns in their hearts. ...¡­. Back in the Ajax''s room, Ajax opened his eyes unwillingly. Although he slept on his bed this whole time, his spirit consciousness was traveled to the elemental spirit world. Not only did he travel to the elemental spirit world, but he also formed an official contract with two elemental spirits and two unofficial contracts with two auxiliary elemental spirits. After forming all the contracts, Ajax felt mentally tired and wanted to sleep some more. However, he had to wake up and meet up with Edmond, who would assign a mission for him and Paulin from the mercenary guild''s mission board. Unwillingly, he woke up and freshened up quickly. "I think, I have sometime before Edmond can call me," Ajax sat on his bed and thought to check his rewards from the Elemental spirit worlds before Edmond could send Paulin or Lewis to inform him. However, just he was about to sort out his rewards; he got two system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The monster peach has ripened. ''Ding, Consume it within 24 hours. Otherwise, the peach will lose its effectiveness and be a normal peach. "What?" he was shocked by the sudden system notification. The monster peach was a fruit that had the ability to increase a?major realm for a cultivator and a rank for spirit beasts. But the condition was that the consumer should have the strength of a general realm or a rank 5 cultivation for a spirit beast. And the most important thing was that the fruit would have the effect for only 24 hours, which caused Ajax to be anxious as he didn''t have sufficient strength to use it on himself or couldn''t consume his spirit beasts as they don''t have rank 5 strength. ''Should I use it on Darbdaur?'' He thought of the Barbarian, who was the only have that have general realm cultivation in his team. However, he shook his head, rejecting the idea of using the monster peach on the Barbarian as it won''t have any effect on him because his cultivation was sealed. ''But the problem is how should I exin about its origin?'' he thought for some time beforeing up with an idea. ''Although it was ame idea, Captain Edmond won''t ask for my secrets anyway. So I think this would work,'' Ajax agreed to his own idea and became self-content. ''Now, let''s see the rewards from this trip,'' Ajax became excited when he thought of his gains in the elemental spirit world. "I will first construct a poison elemental paradise for Bane since I promised him to help in his mutation," without hesitation, he said, "System, construct a poison elemental paradise for me." He had a chance of constructing an elemental paradise of his own choice, so he ordered the system to construct an elemental poison paradise. ''Ding, Poison elemental paradise can''t be constructed as it belongs to an auxiliary type element. "What? Didn''t you say I can construct an elemental paradise of my own choice?" Ajax asked worriedly, along with a hint of anger in his voice. ''Ding, The host needs to arrange some special requirements to construct an auxiliary elemental paradise. "What special requirements? Also, why there were no such special requirements when I asked you to construct the lightning elemental paradise?" Ajax asked the system calmly, controlling his anger. He got used to the system''s random bullsh*t, so he was able to keep his anger in check. ''Ding, The host provided nearly 1000 liters for the construction of the mini thunder pool. "Huh?" Ajax nodded his head understanding what system meant and asked, "What should I do for you to construct a poison elemental paradise?" ''Ding, It''s very simple. The host needs to collect three types of poisons. ''Ding, Higher the collected poisons grade, then higher will be the elemental paradise grade. "Sure, I will find it soon," Ajax just wanted an elemental paradise first,ter he could upgrade it grade 2 elemental paradises with his another reward from a recent mission hepleted in the elemental spirit world. He thought, collecting three types of poisons was an easy thing, so he left that construction of the elemental paradise for the time being. Next, he summoned his elemental spirits, whom he recently contracted. As soon as he summoned four wisps of energy came out from his spirit consciousness and formed four elemental spirits in front of him. Nite, the dark/beast dual-type elemental spirit, Level 6 elemental spirit soldier. (official) Dabrus, the dark type elemental spirit, Level 6 elemental spirit soldier. (official) Bane, the poison type elemental spirit, Level 1 elemental spirit soldier. (unofficial) Cerauno, the lightning type elemental spirit, Level 1 elemental spirit soldier. (Unofficial) He was satisfied with the four elemental spirits with their skills and element types. "We pay our respects to the summoning master," As soon as they were summoned, all four elemental spirits greeted Ajax respectfully. Ajax nodded his head in reply. ''Let''s see how many elemental spirit stones I have in my inventory,'' Ajax forgets something important and checks his inventory to upgrade his elemental spirits with the elemental spirit stones. ''Ding, Elemental spirit stones Elite Soldier x 1 Commander realm x 2 "With these, I can directly upgrade any of level 1?elemental spirit soldier elemental spirit to level 1 of themander realm" As he thought, he looked at the four elemental spirits to pick one elemental spirit to level up. ********* Chapter 183: Settling the new elemental spirits

183 Settling the new elemental spirits

Ajax didn''t ponder much as he already had someone in his head to level up. "Bane,e here," he called the Poison elemental spirit toe near to him. With a wave, he took out two elemental spirit stones?(Elite soldier stone and Commander realm stones) and casually tossed those stones to the poison elemental spirit, Bane. That''s right. He picked the poison elemental spirit, Bane, to level up to themander realm. For this, he had two reasons. The first one was that it''s hard for the Poison elemental spirit to level up as there were very few Poison elemental essences of nature in the surroundings. Without sufficient essence of nature, an elemental spirit could not break through a single minor realm, much less a major breakthrough. The second reason was an auxiliary elemental spirit which had a major realm advantage while using its poisonous attack. (At present only one skill was awakened, but the Poison in that attack could kill a level 1 elite soldier realm cultivators). So, he chose Bane to level up to the elemental spiritmander to gain an advantage over the higher realm cultivators. "I am will send to my inner world, use those two stones to break through to the Elemental spiritmander realm," Ajax exined about a few details about the inner world as he tossed the elemental spirit stones to Bane. When they heard about the Inner world, they were astonished and at the same time, excited. "Yes, summoning master," However, Bane was not so excited about going into the inner world. ording to their summoning master''s words, the essence of nature was purer than the present world they were staying in. So he wanted to see how purer the Poison elemental essence of nature in the inner world. In the Zrochestor province, the essence of nature of basic elements was impure, much less his Poison elemental essence of nature. So it didn''t pique his interest, but what he was interested in the elemental spirit stones his hand. ''With these stones, I can easily reach themander realm. I think I didn''t form the unofficial contract in vain,'' Bane thought in his head, and his earlier small hope turned big with his summoning master. Ajax quickly sent Bane into the inner world and looked at his remaining elemental spirits. "You don''t need to feel sad, I have something for you," Ajax said, looking at their sad expressions. Ajax knew why they were sad, as he gave the direct upgrade chance to Bane, and left them alone. However, Ajax already thought about everything on how to upgrade everyone. "I have given him the upgrade stones to him because he didn''t have a suitable cultivation area at present," Ajax slowly said, looking at their expressions, which were changing slowly with his words. The sad expressions on the elemental spirits turned into a puzzle as they didn''t understand a thing about Elemental paradise. "I think, it''s better for you to feel the elemental paradise for yourselves. Then you will understand," Ajax didn''t bother wasting his time exining the greatness about the elemental paradise and directly waved his hand and transported them into his inner world. As soon as they entered the inner world, they looked at their surroundings. They saw three elemental spirits cultivating not far from their position. They were shocked to see that their summoning master already had elemental spirits. However, they didn''t think about it much as another thing attracted them. Nite and Dabrus were attracted to an area that was exuding a rich dark elemental essence of nature. In that, the majority of the area was already filled by spirit beasts and one dark elemental spirit. Without disturbing any dark elemental being, the newly contracted official elemental spirits entered the dark elemental paradise and started their cultivation, which they long waited for. Whereas Cerauno was attracted by a small pond that was filled with shes of lightning. In the center of the pond, a bird that looked like a Hawk was cultivating with partial immersion in that lightning-filled water. Seeing his new friends settled in a packed cultivation area, Cerauno felt much better at his new cultivation area, which was being used by only one spirit beast. Simr to Nite and Dabrus, he went into the mini lightning pond without disturbing Snow. ''What a pure essence of nature!'' This was the only thought in their minds when they started cultivating in the elemental paradises. ''Smirk'' Seeing the behaviors of his newly contracted elemental spirits, Ajax smirk andughed a little. His old elemental spirits saw the entry of new elemental spirits into the inner world, but they didn''t bother them. As they already knew that their summoning master would have more elemental spirits in the future. So they focused on cultivating and wanted to improve their cultivation as much as possible. But the sad thing was that the newly enter elemental spirits have suitable cultivation ground, whereas there was nothing for them. However, they were not demotivated, and their wish to increase their cultivation without using any elemental paradise had increased. ''I should try toplete more missions to get more elemental paradises for all types of elemental spirits so that they can progress their cultivation at the same pace,'' Ajax felt terrible for not creating an elemental paradise for his earlier elemental spirits. Although he had a chance to create one elemental paradise, he used that chance for creating the poison type elemental paradise. However, he had his reasons to do so. Among them, the most important one was it would be easier for his basic elemental type spirits (Fire, Water, Land, Air, and Life) to increase their cultivation in the inner world without using any type of?Elemental paradise. However, it was different for Bane, who was a poison type of elemental spirit. ''I will build more elemental paradises for them,'' Ajax swore in his heart to construct more elemental paradises in the inner world. After settling his newly contracted elemental spirits, Ajax looked at the new skills that he awakened by forming official contracts with Elemental spirits. ********* Chapter 184: Official Contracted Skills

"System, show my interface," Ajax asked the system to show his interface, which he had not seen for some time now. ''Ding, Name:- Ajax Race:-?Human Body Cultivation:- Level 4mander realm Spirit cultivation:-?Level 1 spiritmander realm (Unlocked) Specialty:- Dark Elementalist Title:- Alchemy maniac Skills:- Spatial des, Dark w, Shadow clone. Elemental spirits Official:- 2 Unofficial:- 6 Spirit beasts:- 5 Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax. "Hmm," Ajax nodded, seeing at his initial details as there was nothing new, he doesn''t know. "Huh?" the first change he noticed was his spirit cultivation, which was previously locked was now unlocked. Due to him not having any official contracts, his spirit cultivation was locked as soon as he was broken through to the spiritmander realm. Since he had formed an official contract with an elemental spirit, it was now unlocked. "Hahaha" Next, he found what he wanted to see in the skills section. In the skills section, there were two new skills that he thought were awakened by his official contract. "First, Dark w," he focused on the skill spirit merging. ''Ding, Skill name:- Dark w (Level 1) Skill description:- When the host uses this skill, his hand will be covered by the dark elemental energy and transform his hand into a demon w-like structure. This skill can be used to both attack and block enemy attacks. Upgrade:- Kill 100 dark elemental beings with the dark w to upgrade the skill to level 2. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brow when he looked at the information about his first skill and thought, ''It''s just an average skill.'' He thought that the skills, he gets from the official contract were some high-level ones, but he was disappointed with this dark w, he awakened from forming the contract with Nite. Although it was not mentioned in the information rting to the skill, he could guess it was rted to Nite as he had both dark and beast elements. ''Anyway, it better than not having any skill,'' soon, he consoled himself with the skill. During the weekly spar with Paulin, Ajax faced the problem of not having sufficient techniques or skills. So he thought that having some skills were better than not having any. Next, he focused on his second skill, which he thought the skill was from Dabrus as the skill had Shadow in its name. ''Ding, Skill name:- Shadow clone (level 1) Skill description:- When the host uses this skill, his Shadowes to life and fights along with him. Note:- The Shadow has only 50 percent of the host''s strength. "Hmm," Ajax looked at the skill and nodded as his initial expectations were decreased. When there were no expectations, even a low-level reward would make one satisfied. However, with huge expectationses a huge disappointment. He didn''t have any expectations for his second skill, so he was satisfied with the skill. ''But, the level-ups for these skills will take time,'' he looked at the Upgrade section and shook his head. As he was shaking his head, he suddenly thought of something and looked into his spirit consciousness. In the spirit consciousness, there were energy orbs, one big and two small. ''With the addition of another orb, now I have an instant five minor realms level-up boost, Haha,'' his earlier disappoint vanished thinking about the energy orbs. These energy orbs were non-other than the level-up boosts he would get forpleting the ''A'' or above danger rating missions with the clearance rating of at least ''A.'' He got one big energy orb that could increase a three minor realm and a small one that would increase a single minor realm from his trip to the five elemental world. In this trip to the Elemental spirit world, he got another small energy orb. Combining all the energy orbs, he could instantly level up to level 9mander realm from his level 4mander realm cultivation. However, he rejected using those energy orbs as Udo already suspects him as a demonic cultivator. If he used those energy orbs and leveled up to level 9mander realm, even Edmond would not stop Udo from harming him. ''Knock Knock,'' Just as he was in his thoughts, a knocking sound came waving him up from those thoughts. ''It must be Paulin,'' While thinking in his head, Ajax went to the door and opened it. "Ajax, are you ready?" As expected, the one who tapped his door was non-other than his senior brother Paulin. "Yes. I am all ready, senior brother Paulin," Ajax replied with a smile. "Good. Come we will go and meet Captain Edmond," Paulin replied the smile as usual. Soon, Ajax and Paulin went downstairs and then to their Captain''s room. The door to the Captain''s room was half-opened. "Captain Edmond, are you there?" Paulin asked, standing in front of Edmond''s room. Although the door was half-opened, they didn''t enter the room without asking first. "Come in," Edmond''s voice came from inside the room, saying them to enter the room. Only after Edmond told them to enter, they entered the room. "So, it''s finally time for you guys to do some missions and increase the ranking of our Hazegroove mercenary squad," Seeing them, Edmond said seriously without wasting any time. He continued, "Do you understand?" "Yes, Captain Edmond," Both Ajax and Paulin replied attentively in unison, which made Edmond smile in his heart. "Both of you shouldplete three ''B+'' danger rating missions from the mission board of the mercenary guild before the champion''s contest starts," Edmond said while looking seriously into their eyes. "We will try our best," Paulin said loudly as a reply to Edmond''s task. "What about you, Ajax," Edmond asked, looking at Ajax, who didn''t answer anything. "We willplete all the three missions before the champions contest," Ajax replied confidently. "Good," Seeing the confident look in their eyes, Edmond was satisfied. "However, one thing you shouldn''t forget. Be careful.?Don''t let a moment of carelessness cost your life," Edmond warned them one final time and stood up from his bed. "Now, you can go and pick a mission andplete it before taking some rest for your next mission. Repeat the process until youplete your three missions," Edmond said them to pick their mission from the mercenary guild. "Yes, Captain," Both of them replied before running out of Edmond''s room. ********* Chapter 185: Story

185 Story

Just as they exited Edmond''s room, Ajax stooped all of a sudden as he remembered something. "Senior Brother Paulin, I have something to say to Captain Edmond. I will meet you outside," Ajax said to Paulin, who was also stopped seeing Akax halt in his tracks. "Sure, I have to go to my room first anyway. See you outside," Paulin replied before moving upstairs. Without any dy, Ajax returned to Edmond''s room. "Huh? Ajax, what happened. Do you need something," seeing Ajax, who just left his room, returned in a hurry, Edmond questioned immediately. "Nothing Captain Edmond," Ajax stopped for a moment before taking a long breath he continued, "I have something I want to give you." "Huh?" Edmond was puzzled but became happy and asked in a curious voice, "What is it?" Edmond became excited not because he thought Ajax would give something valuable, but because he was receiving something from Ajax, in whom he saw his son. Which father wouldn''t be excited, receiving something from his son. "Here, I want to give this fruit to you," Ajax took out a huge fruit from his inner world but acted as he took it out from his space ring. "Huh? What is it, Ajax" Edmond took the huge fruit into his hand and observed it. "Th..this," As he observed it keenly, he was shocked by the huge fruit in his hand. "Ajax, where did you get this?" He was still unable to suppress his shock as he asked Ajax. "Huh? Captain Edmond, Do you know what this fruit is?" Ajax was shocked inwards but didn''t show it out and act as he didn''t have any knowledge about the fruit. "First, tell me where did you find it?" Edmond didn''t reply to Ajax''s question; instead, he asked about its whereabouts. "I found it in the cursed wilderness when I went on a mission earlier. During that time, I not only found the Longevity fruits but also this fruit which was very small and so I used a special technique to preserve the whole tree. Just today, it detached itself from the nt, which I assumed the fruit became ripe" Ajax looked at Edmond''s face and continued, "And I thought it to give you since I don''t whether it was useful?or not." Seeing the serious look on Edmond''s face, Ajax exined the story he prepared earlier slowly. "Really? Do you know a special technique to carry living nts on you?" Another shock raised in Edmond''s heart. The techniques that could allow one to carry living nts on them were scarce and valuable. So he was shocked by Ajax''s unique technique. "But, when we met, you said you didn''t remember anything?" A frown formed on Edmond''s face as he asked Ajax with a serious expression. "I don''t know, how but when I started cultivating, this special technique appeared in my head mysteriously," Ajax nned all the questions that Edmond would ask, so he answered them with shuttering. Although Ajax answered all the questions without any dy, Edmond was still not convinced. Nevertheless, he stopped asking any more questions causing Ajax''s anxious heart to calm down. "Captian Edmond, what is this fruit and what it is used for?" seeing the silent Edmond, Ajax asked some questions about the huge fruit. Despite the fact, he knew about the fruit name and its uses; he asked those questions to divert the topic from asking more questions about him. "Hmm," Edmond didn''t find strange that Ajax didn''t know about the fruit as it was a rare fruit that was only found in a few ces in the curse wilderness. If one didn''t have sufficient luck, it was almost impossible to find these types of fruits. "This huge fruit is called Monster peach, that is grown in only a few ces and almost impossible to find," Edmond exined his exnation about the fruit. "Also, you did a good thing by not consuming the fruit. Otherwise, you would have died. Listen carefully, in the future, if you find any more fruits, don''t consume it without knowing its use," Suddenly, Edmond warned Ajax about eating some fruits. "What? Eating this fruit would have cost me my life?" Ajax was utterly shocked by this new revtion. Even though the system said it could only be used by the general realm cultivators or above, he didn''t seriously think that this fruit could take his life, if h tried eating it. "Yes, the energy in this fruit was barely manageable by the level 1 general realm cultivator. If you consumed it, your body would have exploded like a spirit watermelon by the energy in the fruit," Edmond replied to Ajax''s shock. ''I will never try any funny with fruits,'' Ajax swore in his head and decided to follow the system words carefully. "As for the use, I think it will not be of any use for you anytime soon. But the fruit''s efficiency will start leaking, once the 24 hours arepleted," Edmond exined the use of the fruit which Ajax knows already. "Ajax, I need this fruit, if you agree, then I will take it with other treasures. What do you say?" Edmond asked with a face full of expectations. "No need for any treasures, Captain Edmond. I wanted to give this fruit to you anyway. If it is useful to you, then use it," Ajax immediately rejected any treasures as he owed Captian Edmond a great deal already. "How can I take this valuable item without giving anything," Edmond shook his head and asked Ajax. "I owe you too much already, Captian Edmond. So there is no need for any treasures," Ajax said with a smile and hurriedly ran away from his room. ''Kids nowadays are full of energy,'' Edmond shook his head at the running Ajax. While saying this, the corner of his eyes glistened a little. ''With this fruit in my hand, I can save much time in increasing my strength and the mission will hasten by a few weeks, Hahaha,'' As he muttered looking at the fruit in his hand, Edmond startedughing at the end of his muttering. "At that time, I will see whoes in my way," Edmond went back to his cultivation before eating the fruit in a few bites. ********* Chapter 186: Top 3 mercenary squads

186 Top 3 mercenary squads

After rushing out from Edmond''s room, Ajax directly went outside of their residence building to meet up with Paulin. ''Where is he?'' However, he didn''t find Paulin there, so he waited for some time, assuming that he was still in his room. As expected, after a few minutes of waiting, Ajax finally saw Paulin came out of their residence building hurriedly. "Sorry, Ajax, I had some things to pack for our mission," Paulin apologized Ajax for histe arrival. "No need for a sorry, senior brother Paulin. I just came here," Ajax replied with a smile. "Ajax, you don''t need to act politely," seeing Ajax behave politely and respectfully towards him, Paulin felt ufortable. Ajax respected Paulin a lot for his politeness and calmness. And he helps a lot to his junior brothers. Every time he talked with Paulin, Ajax would maintain a certain degree of respect in his voice. "Ok, senior brother Paulin," Ajaxughed loudly, agreeing with Paulin and moved towards the Mercenary guild. "By the way, did you prepare clothes and necessary things for our mission, Ajax," Along the way, Paulin asked Ajax about his things, seeing that Ajax didn''t prepare anything for the mission. "I always have some extra set of clothes in my space ring along with some dried rations to eat in the wilderness," Ajax replied as he was pointing to the space ring on his index finger. After his trip to the first mission in the cursed wilderness, Ajax felt the need for extra clothes. So, from then, he would store some extra set of clothes along with some food in his space ring. Soon, they reached the Mercenary guild building. "Brother Paulin, why is this ce fully packed with cultivators and mercenaries? Did wee to a market ce ?" When they reached the gate of the mercenary guild building, many people came in and out, which made Ajax think it was a marketce. Although there would always be a rush in front of the mercenary guild building every day, it wasrger than usual. Saying itrger was somewhat wrong, though. To be more urate, the crowd in front of the mercenary guild building was three times more than usual. "I think, maybe there is something going in the mercenary guild," Paulin replied and went towards the gate. Seeing the badges on their chests, all the surrounding people gave them a way to walk without making their entry difficult in the crowd. These badges were only given to the top mercenary squads with their squad logo on them. After entering the building, they went straight to the mission board to pick their first ''B+'' danger rating mission. However, before they reach the mission board, they saw some mercenaries with two different attires. "Hello, Sir Demon Killer" "Hello, Madam Blood Rose" While greeting them, Paulin was very respectful. "Hello, Sir Demon Killer and Madam Blood rose," Seeing Paulin greet them respectfully, Ajax also bowed a little and greeted. Although he didn''t know them, he heard their names somewhere. But he didn''t bother to know about their details, as he was busy with his thingstely. "Huh? Little Paulin?" Both the middle-aged man and the mid-aged woman turned and looked at Paulin and were surprised. "How are you, Little Paulin," Both of them asked at the same time with a smile on their faces. "I am good, How are you Sir and Maam?" Paulin asked them respectfully. "As you see, I am good and strong," The middle-aged man called ''The Demon Killer'' replied, showing his muscr biceps. "Stop calling me Madam, Little Paulin. Call me big sis like you did when you were little," The middle-ageddy called ''The Blood Rose'' looked hurt and scolded Paulin jokingly. Seeing her behave like this, Paulin was speechless. "So, he is the new recruit of your Hazegroove squad. Not bad, not bad," The Demon Killer looked at Ajax and nodded his head, approving his strength. "Thanks, Sir Demon killer " Ajax hurried thanked him for his praise. Although he didn''t know precisely who they were, judging from how they called Paulin and how Paulin showed respect towards them, Ajax acted politely. "I think, he doesn''t know us, right little brother?" seeing the look on Ajax''s face, The Blood Rose smiled coyly as she called him, a little brother. "His name is Ajax, Ajax they are..," "Let me introduce myself to the young fellow," Before Paulin could introduce them to Ajax, The Demon Killer interrupted him and continued saying, "My name is Henriet, I am the Captain of number one mercenary squad ''The Demon Killer'' and she is the captain of number two mercenary squad ''The Blood Rose'' squad. As for her real name, you better hear from her, otherwise, she will fight with me just for saying her name." ''So, they are the top two mercenary squads above Hazegroove squad,'' Ajax remembered about the squads. There are many mercenary squads in the guild, but only a few reached the top bypleting some of the top missions. And among the many squads, The Demon Killer, The Blood Rose, and The Hazegroove mercenary squads are the ones that reached Top 3. "Henriet, stop with your nonsense. My name is Rosa," Rosa red at Henriet before saying her name to Ajax. "Nice to meet you, Sir and Madam," Ajax bowed and replied. After bowing, Ajax looked the mercenaries behind the two top mercenary squads captains. There were six men and four women behind them. All of them had scars and cut on their bodies. By looking at them, he could say that they don''t belong to the normal mercenary category. "Big sister, why are there so many people here and most importantly what are you doing here?" Paulin asked after introductions with Ajax was over. "You don''t know?" Rosa, the titled Blood rose, looked at Paulin with confusion. "This Edmond is bing careless about his present and future, by still mulling over his past," Henriet, the titled Demon Killer, shook his head at Edmond''s carelessness. "All the mercenaries and rogue cultivators are rushing here because some bountiful missions are announced by the Mercenary guild," the female captain said slowly. "Bountiful missions?" Ajax and Paulin were shocked when they heard Rosa''s words. ********* Chapter 187: The Demon World

187 The Demon World

Both Ajax and Paulin were shocked due to the fact that their Captain didn''t mention about these missions. Bountiful missions were the missions with a high reward that have less danger rating. So no one would miss these missions. ''Why didn''t Captain Edmond say anything about these bountiful missions?'' Generally, all the mercenaries would rush for those missions, so they were puzzled at Edmond''s thinking. However, they know that Edmond already knew about these bountiful missions. ''I wonder, what Captain Edmond was thinking by sending all me and senior brother Paulin toplete the missions,'' Ajax thought in his mind but didn''t say it out loud. "Big sister, what are these bountiful missions about?" Paulin asked about the missions. "It''s rted to The Demon world" The blood rose, said with a serious look on her face. "The Demon world?" Ajax and Paulin shivered at her words. They know something about the Demon world, so hearing about it made them shiver unconsciously. The Demon World was one of The Human World''s most significant and worst enemy. The Demon World was ruled by the Demon King, who had 12 apostles. Those 12 apostles were the ones that carry attacks on other worlds regrly to hunt humans. Some people say that human bodies were the best delicacies for demons. While some other people say that human flesh was the most valuable treasure for them to break through their cultivations. So, the 12 demon king''s apostles carry attacks on the human world with their demon servants army. "Yes, there are suspected sightings of many demon servants in the cursed abyss and cursed wilderness," Henriet looked serious as he exined the missions, "Also, ording to the mercenary guild, there is a chance of a portal that connecting the demon world and the human world." "So, for every demon servant you kill, there will be some contribution points. The more you kill the more you earn and also the contribution points vary with the strength of the demon servants" After Henriet, Rosa said about the contribution points. "What? A portal connecting the demon world and the human world?" At first, they were shocked, but then again, they were excited as they could get some rewards for killing the demon servants. "But, how will the mercenary guild record our kills?" Ajax asked the question, as this was his first time participating in Bountiful missions. "By this," hearing the silly question, Henrietughed a little before pointing to his wrist. There was a ck coloured bracelet that had some unique runes that made it look beautiful on his wrist. Seeing how the top captains were behaving and exining things to him, Ajax''s respect towards them increased once again. In the beginning, he thought they would be arrogant and belittle them, but after seeing their casual behaviour, he felt all his initial thoughts were wrong. "You should go and collect your Bracelets and start the mission soon," the top mercenary squad captains and their teams left after talking for a few minutes. "Ajax, let''s go and finish our task," After they left, Paulin said to Ajax. "Our task? what about bountiful missions?" Ajax asked Paulin, wondering why his senior brother was not caring about the bountiful missions. "I know what you are thinking, greedy little brother," seeing the disappointing look on Ajax, Paulin replied with a light tap on Ajax''s head. "Ouch," Ajax cried with him when Paulin hit him. "We will take a ''B+'' danger rating mission from the cursed wilderness or cursed abyss. While we are at it, we willplete the bountiful missions, if possible," Paulin exined with a small smile on his face and turned towards the mission board and started walking. "Hurray," Ajax eximed with joy and rushed after Paulin to collect the mission board''s mission. Due to the bountiful missions, there were not mercenaries in front of the mission board. So, they were at ease in selecting a mission, and calmly looked at the huge board that was full of missions. Without wasting any time, they looked at the ''B+'' danger rating section for their mission. Mission 1):- Collect the egg of a peak rank 4 spirit cheetah. Reward:- A chance to enter the battle hall of the royal family along with 10000 spirit stones Danger rating:- B+ Mission2):- Need ten underworld death lotuses Reward:-?10000 Spirit stones Danger rating:- B+ . . . . Mission 10):- Enter the middle section of the cursed wilderness and find the secret behind the Never-returning cave. Reward:- 20000 Spirit stones Danger rating:- B+ (Not urate) "What do you think, should we pick, Ajax?" There was precisely 10 B+ danger rating mission on the mission board. After seeing all the missions, Paulin asked Ajax for his opinion. "Although I don''t know what to pick, I know which we shouldn''t pick," Instead of picking the mission, Ajax replied Paulin and said, "Thatst one, we shouldn''t pick it." "Huh?" Paulin looked at thest mission and nodded his head. Since the mission had a chance of having a higher danger rating, they better not risk it. As they don''t have sufficient strength toplete an ''A'' danger rating missions, he ultimately rejected the 10th mission. "Then, what about the first mission. It looks decent and we canplete with some effort," Paulin suggested taking the very first mission on the list. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the mission and nodded his head in agreement. Just as they took that mission, a system notification chimed in his head. ''Ding, A?new mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. "What the heck," Ajax, who was very interested in the system generated missions in the past; however, now he cursed at the mission generated by the system. The reason was, he could guess that what that mission would be. Most of the missions were rted to his present situations, so ording to the situation now, he felt some horrible premonition from the generated mission. "Please heavens. Let my assumptions be wrong," Ajax prayed as he opened the quest tab. ''Ding, ********* Chapter 188: New Mission

188 New Mission

''Ding, Mission:- Investigate the never-returning cave Description:- A cave, in the middle section of the cursed wilderness where only the cultivators below the general realm can enter. However, the enterer cultivators never return. Find out the mystery behind the Never-returning cave. Reward:-?A dual elemental paradise with two random elements that the host didn''t have in his the elemental paradises. Danger rating:- B+ Mission failure:- None "What?" What Ajax didn''t want to happen had happened, making him cry at the quest tab. "Only B+ danger rating," However, seeing the danger rating on the holographic screen, he felt some hope. ''Since it has only ''B+'' danger rating, I can probablyplete,'' Ajax''s earlier thoughts turned 180-degrees. The main reason he wanted toplete the mission was to get the reward. ''Dual Elemental Paradise, I want it,'' A dual elemental paradise was simr to a normal elemental paradise but had two elements: it could allow two types of elemental spirits or spirit beasts to cultivate in it. So, seeing the reward, he wanted to have it and solve the current problem of the Volcanis and other elemental spirits. "Senior brother Paulin, can we pick two missions at the same time?" Ajax asked Paulin, who took out the mission one beast skin from the mission board. "Why? Do you want to pick another one?" Paulin stopped and asked Ajax with a curious tone. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head in reply. "A squad can''t pick two mission at the same time," Paulin informed Ajax about the rule. As soon as he heard that Ajax became dejected. ''Should I convince Brother Paulin to change the mission?'' Although he was dejected, he didn''t n on leaving the 10th mission from the mission board. However, his disappointment turned into happiness when he heard Paulin''s next words. "Although a squad can''t pick more than one mission at a time, there is a special case of picking two missions for top 3 mercenary squads," Paulin exined the special case for top squads in the mercenary guild. "Really? That''s great," Ajax excitedly shouted. "Yes. Go and pick a pick. We will try toplete both the missions," Paulin nodded his head and asked Ajax to pick a mission of his choice. After saying that, Paulin went to register the mission, he picked. Without wasting any time, Ajax also picked the 10th mission, which was simrly written on the beast''s skin, and rushed after Paulin to register it under the Hazegroove Squad. "Hello," Seeing the iing Paulin and Ajax towards her, Sarah politely greeted. "Hello sis Sarah," Paulin and Ajax greeted back politely at the beautiful receptionist. "Not doing Bountiful missions?" seeing the beast skins in their hands, Sarah asked them. "Okay then, I will bring two bracelets for you," since she saw only the two of them, Sarah said she would bring only two data collector bracelets. "Thanks, sister Sarah. Also, help us register another mission under our Squad," he thanked Sarah and took the beast skin from Ajax''s hand and gave it Sarah without checking the mission details. "Huh?" Sarah was surprised for a moment and nodded her head before going into the room behind her to register the two missions under Hazegroove Squad. ''Senior Brother Paulin, why there is no crowd here, at the counter?'' Ajax raised doubt about the crowd. "Sarah will only register the mission of top 3 mercenary guilds. As for normal mercenaries, they have other receptionists," Paulin exined slowly. Soon, Sarah came back with two ck bracelets in her hand. "Here, it will collect all the data about your contribution," while giving those bracelets to them, she exined all the details about them. "Thanks, sister Sarah. We will be on our way," Ajax and Paulin thanked her before leaving from there. Sarah nodded her head with a small smile on her face in reply. .... "Our squad need amander realm cultivator." "I am an elite soldier realm rogue cultivator. Happy to join any squad". "Selling the high-grade healing pills cheaply." ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ When they came out of the mercenary guild building, Ajax and Paulin heard themotions of recruitments and other things for both ordinary cultivators and mercenaries. This was not an umon sight for them. Every time a bountiful mission was issued, everyone tries their best to benefit from them. They were either selling the pills or weapons. Although there was a lot of cheap stuff in those things, many were willing to buy them as they required quantity for all their team members. Without bothering with that cheap stuff, they walked out from there and moved towards the cursed wilderness. "By the way, which mission did you pick Ajax?" Paulin asked while they were moving towards the cursed wilderness. "Thatst one, Never-returning cave mission," Ajax exined with an embarrassed expression as he was the one who said not to pick that mission earlier, but he was the one who picked upter. "What? You mean the one you said not to pick?" Although Paulin was not shocked, he was surprised at Ajax''s choice. "Yes, senior brother," Ajax was embarrassed, even more, when he heard Paulin''s words. "Okay" Seeing Ajax''s red face, Paulin didn''t ask any more questions and continued walking towards their destination. Ajax felt rxed when he was not asked any more questions. .... "Hey Blood Rose, what do you think he is nning by sending two kids on a mission during this time?" In the distance, The Demon Killer asked the Rose, who was beside him with her Squad. "You mean Edmond? He way of thinking is always different. Who knows what he is up to now?" The Blood Rose shook her head in reply. "I think he is nning something against the Fire sword sect but I wonder, did he have the sufficient strength to go against the sect?" The Demon Killer paused for a second and asked Rosa, "Anyway, which region will your squad takes?" "Oh, all of sudden why are you behaving like a gentleman?" The captain of the Blood Rose squad scoffed at the Demon Killer. "I am always a gentleman," Henrieth proudly said, "I know. My Squad will take Cursed Wilderness," Rosa selected the cursed wilderness for her bountiful mission. "Then my squad will clear Cursed Abyss," Henrieth selected the remaining one. Chapter 189: Evil Skills

189 Evil Skills

While both the captains of the top 2 mercenary squads discussed the regions to clear, all the mercenaries from both the squads stood behind the captains and discussed their own things with one another. "Members of the Demon Killer squad, let''s move," Henriet led his squad members and went in the direction of the Cursed Abyss. Whereas the members from the Blood Rose squad went in the direction of Cursed Wilderness. ... "Senior Brother Paulin, you seem close to those captains," As they were moving towards the Cursed Wilderness, Ajax asked Paulin slowly. "Yes, I know them from when I was 5 or 6 years old," Paulin stopped for a moment and thought for a second before answering Ajax. "Oh," Ajax nodded his head. "Do you want to know about them? I mean how they got their titles?" Seeing the hesitating Ajax, Paulin asked with a little smile as usual. "Yes," Ajax wanted to know about them after seeing their modest behaviors even when they were standing in the top position. "Sir Henriet, got the title of ''The Demon Killer'' when he entered into the demon world through a portal that appeared a few years back," Paulin stopped for a few seconds as though he was trying to find some right words to describe Henriet, but he couldn''t find any. However, he continued, "When everyone thought that he had died, he surprisingly came back with heavy injuries with few demon servants heads that had the strength of the general realm." "What? He entered the demon world and even killed high-grade demon servants?" Ajax''s respect towards The Demon Killer, Henriet, increased by another fold. "After that event, he became from a rogue cultivator to a top mercenary and even formed a mercenary squad by his title which he eventually made into the number 1 squad in the whole Zrochester Province," Paulin exined how the title ''The Demon Killer'' and that squad formed with a respectful tone. "Before he became a top mercenary, Sir Henriet was a rogue cultivator?" Ajax was even more shocked by the newly revealed fact. "Yes, however, he was very close to Edmond. So that''s how I was close to them," Paulin stopped all of a sudden when he said those words. Seeing that his Senior brother became silent suddenly, Ajax looked at his surroundings but didn''t find anyone. "So, what about Madam Rosa," However, he noticed something in Paulin''s expression as though he didn''t want to say about his past. So, Ajax tried to divert the topic by asking about the Blood Rose. "Madam Blood rose was once a disciple of the Fire sword sect. However, no one knows the exact details why she left the sect and formed the ''Blood Rose'' mercenary squad no one knows," Paulin increased his speed after he answered what he knew about the Madam Blood Rose. Ajax found it more confusing and shocking at the backgrounds of the top 3 mercenary squads'' top captains. Also, what he found most confusing among them was there might be bad Blood between Captain Edmond and Fire sword sect, but here from the way, Rosa called Edmond like she was close with him. ''Looks like something much bigger than I thought had happened in the past,'' Ajax head spinning just thinking about it. So he stopped thinking and increased his speed to catch up with Paulin. After running for a few hours, they finally reached the outer section of the?Cursed Wilderness. ''Ajax, let''s take a small break before continuing our mission,'' Paulin found a tree and sat under it to take some rest. Likewise, Ajax also found a tree and sat. Although they could run for another few hours with their current strength, Paulin wanted to stay in their peak form when they entered the cursed wilderness. Furthermore, there were sightings of demon servants in the cursed wilderness and cursed abyss, so he wanted to be in his top form to face any unwanted sneak attacks. Ajax also knew about this, so he also took a small nap keeping an eye on his surroundings. ... After a few minutes, Rosa, along with her squad, consisting of 3 men and two women appeared at the exact location of Ajax and Paulin''s resting ce. Seeing the movement in their surroundings, Ajax and Paulin immediately woke and looked at the iing mercenaries. ''Big sister Rosa,'' Ajax greeted her respectfully even before Paulin. "Big sister," Paulin also followed suit and greeted her. "You young ones are faster and sensitivity towards your surroundings than I thought?" Rosa praised their speed and attention to their surroundings. "Do you want to join my squad temporarily to clear those Demon servants?" Rosa winking her eye invited them to join her squad temporarily. "Sur..," "We are good, Big sister. We wanted to experience some battles in the wild, so we can''t join your team," Before Ajax could say something, Paulin rejected her straight away without giving any face. However, there was a smile on his face when he rejected her, which made her surprised. "You have finally grown into a big man, Little brother Paulin," Rosa smiled at Paulin and looked at Ajax for a second and left with a smile on her face. "What happened, Senior brother Paulin?" After she left, Ajax shook his head and looked at his surroundings as he asked Paulin. "She has a special technique that she got from an inheritance ground which can hypnotize anyone if they are careless for a moment," Paulin exined about the weird state Ajax entered earlier. "So, I was hypnotized by her earlier?" Hearing this, his previous respect for her decreased a lot. In this world, there was a separate category for some skills that were called as Evil skills. Under these skills, there were many skills which were hated by Human and would not ept those who cultivated them into society. Unless you had sufficient strength, the humans who call themselves righteous would hunt you down. Hypnotizing skills were the top among those evil skills. So, when he heard that the Blood Rose hypnotized him, his face became cold. "I thought, she was a good one but..," ********* Chapter 190: Spirit Crane

190 Spirit Crane

"I thought, she was a good one but..," "Ajax, no need to be angry at her, it was her passive skill which will hypnotize anyone she talks to if they are careless for even one moment," Paulin sighed while saying about the hypnotizing skill. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t understand it entirely as he thought, ''How could there be a passive Hypnotizing skill.'' "I think I should say theplete story then," Paulin looked at Ajax''s confusion and exined, "She was forced to enter an evil cultivator''s inheritance ground and without knowing how she was granted a passive technique in that inheritance ground." When he heard Paulin''s words, Ajax''s cold expression softened as it was a cruel thing to force someone to enter an evil cultivator''s inheritance ground even after knowing it was an evil ground. In a regr inheritance ground, who test the participants with specific tests and after qualifying, the participants could take the inheritance or reject it. However, in an evil cultivator''s inheritance ground, the owner of that ground would make them go to specific tests, and the qualifying participants were forcedly given the inheritance. As for those who were failed in the tests, would never return from the inheritance ground. "Since she was forced by the fire sword sect, she unwilling survived all the tests in that evil inheritance ground and forcedly given a hypnotizing technique which automatically hypnotizes all the people who have low cultivation than her. However, if you stay focused, then you will not be affected by it," Paulin slowly exined all about her Blood rose. "So, the reason she left the fire sword sect was because of this, right?" Ajax asked Paulin as he was being told by Paulin earlier that no one knows the exact reason why she left the fire sword sect. "No, after that incident, she stayed in the sect for more than a year. However, one day she suddenly disappeared and appeared in the Goldcrest town and formed her own mercenary squad," Paulin said, looking into the direction Rosa went earlier with her squad. Ajax nodded his head and stopped thinking about those things. "Ajax, we will go for your mission first," After resting for some more time, Paulin stood up and suggested investigating the Never-returning cave located in the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness. "Sure," Ajax agreed without thinking much as he knew that it would be easier for them toplete the collecting egg mission when they were returning from the middle section of the cursed wilderness. As they entered the Cursed Wilderness, they heard the loud noises and roar of various spirit beasts. Nevertheless, since this was still the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness, they didn''t feel any fear and traveled deeper. As they were moved deeper and deeper, the noises of spirit beasts intensified. "Senior Brother, how about we tame a spirit bird for us to traveled faster?" Ajax suggested Paulin about taming a spirit bird as it was easier for them to fly across the sky and enter the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness sooner without wasting any time. "Sure," Looking at the bunch of Spirit cranes that had a strength of low-level rank 3 spirit beasts, Paulin agreed instantly as he knew how much time consuming for them to travel to the Goldcrest town and the Curse Wilderness. "Senior brother, how about we tame that spirit crane which had the highest strength among all the spirit cranes?" Ajax pointed at a spirit crane which stronger than other spirit cranes and asked Paulin. "Let''s tame it," As soon as he agreed, Paulin rushed towards the spirit cranes while summoning his elemental spirit, cious. ''Swoosh'' Seeing someone rushing towards them, all the spirit cranes hurriedly flew into the sky. However, before the strongest Spirit crane could reach the sky, Paulin''s elemental spirit used hismander realm skill ''Cavalry'' and caught that spirit crane mid-air. As for Paulin, he appeared behind the caught spirit crane and knocked it down with a simple punch. After it was knocked down, Paulin dusted his hands as a sign of victory. Without wasting any time, Paulin made his elemental spirit leave his grip from the unconscious spirit crane. Paulin ced his hand on the spirit crane and entered into its spirit consciousness to imprint his spirit. "It''s done, Ajax. Now we have a mount to fly in the sky," Soon, he removed his hand and looked at Paulin with a little smile and asked. Ajax was bbergasted at the sight of Paulin''s simple taming skill. ''He used only a few moments to catch it, knock it and tame it,'' Ajax thought and learned a new trick to tame spirit beasts in the future. However, he knew that the whole process was simple because of the weak fighting prowess of the spirit crane. In general, spirit cranes were the peaceful spirit beast that didn''t like fighting. Whenever a fight urs in their surroundings, the first thing they do was to fly away. If a spirit crane had rank 3 strength, that didn''t really mean it had the strength to fight against another rank 3 spirit beast or amander realm cultivator. In spirit cranes case, the rank 3 represents that he had the flying speed of a rank 3 spirit bird. That was the main reason why Paulin caught the spirit crane so easily. Furthermore, Paulin and that spirit crane had the same elemental affinity, so the spirit imprint was ced easily by him in its spirit consciousness. "Let''s wait for some time until our spirit crane wakes up," Paulin suggested Ajax wait for some time. Ajax nodded his head and sat under a tree. "Why don''t we catch another spirit crane for you?" seeing the sitting Ajax, Paulin said slowly. "No need senior brother, one is enough for both of us," Ajax straightaway rejected Paulin''s idea. He already had more than enough spirit beasts in his inner world. Almost all of them were flying type except the mutated triple-eyed ck Fox, so he rejected the idea of taming another flying type spirit beast at present. ********* Chapter 191: Shameless spirit crane

191 Shameless spirit crane

"One spirit crane is enough for both of us, anyway," Paulin nodded his head not forcing Ajax to tame a spirit crane. After a few minutes, the unconscious spirit crane woke up and checked its surroundings. Seeing the Paulin in the distance, the spirit crane moved towards him without any fear. "What a cute bird I tamed, Hahaha," Paulinughed while looking at the spirit crane that wasing towards him slowly. "Yeah," Ajax nodded his head but found something weird about the actions of the Spirit crane in front of him. In general, after a spirit beast was tamed, it would not be friendly very quickly with the one who tamed it. However, the spirit crane that Paulin tamed showed a friendly sign very quickly as it came hopped to them. So, he immediately checked the details about it. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Spirit Crane Strength:-?Mid-level Rank 3 Description:- A spirit bird that likes to fly freely and doesn''t want to be tamed by anyone. ''There doesn''t seem anything wrong with it,'' Ajax thought. Even after seeing the information, Ajax felt something was wrong. As Ajax was busy pondering about the behaviour of the spirit crane, it came near to Paulin slowly. "Hahaha," Paulin raised his hand to pet his newly tamed spirit crane. However, before he could even ce his hand to caress the spirit crane, it pecked Paulin with its sharp beak. Paulin, who was defenseless, was unable to dodge its beak. Even though he didn''t dodge, the spirit crane didn''t use much force in that peck. So, it only left a small cut on him. After its peck, the spirit crane sat beside him like a normal pet. "Senior brother Paulin, you got some crazy crane, Hahaha," Ajax was unable to stop hisugh when he saw how spirit crane showed an attitude but still sat beside Paulin. "..." Paulin became speechless at Ajax''s words and looked at the spirit crane that sat beside him like a loyal pet. It was not very hard to find why the spirit crane pecked him even after a spirit contract was formed. The fact was, the forceful contract made the spirit crane angry, and it just wanted to vent some of its anger on the one who made that forceful contract with it. He once again tried to touch it, but the spirit crane didn''t say anything and allowed him to caress its feathers. "See, it''s easy to handle," Paulin took out some water spirit stones and let it eat them. Seeing the water spirit stones, the spirit crane quickly swallowed in one gulp and looked at Paulin for more. One more use of spirit stones was, it could be used as food for spirit beasts. The type of food that could allow those spirit beasts to increase their strength upon consuming a specific number of spirit stones. So, when Paulin gave it a water spirit stone, then it put away its arrogant attitude and looked at Paulin with an innocent look. "Sure, but let us fly with you," taking out more spirit stones from his space ring, Paulin asked slowly. Although it was his tamed spirit beast, seeing its attitude, Paulin baited it with water spirit stones. The spirit crane stopped for a moment and looked at Ajax before nodding its head. "That''s good. Here, take these for now and I will give more afterward," Paulin only gave it two spirit stones and said he would give more after they reach their destination. It quickly gulped down the two spirit stones and unfolded itsrge wings, indicating them to sit behind it. Now, it''s Ajax''s turn to be speechless at the shamelessness of the spirit crane. Nevertheless, he walked towards the crane and sat on its back with Paulin. Immediately after they mounted on it, the spirit crane flew into the sky and travelled towards the middle section of the Curse Wilderness on Paulin''s order. ???¡­. As Ajax and Paulin were flying towards the middle section of the Curse Wilderness, there was amotion in various halls of the Assassin sect. In the Mission hall, "Third Elder, there is news about that boy that you asked us to look out for," a masked disciple said in a low voice while bowing respectfully. "Really?" the third elder, stood up from his seat and asked excitedly. "Yes Elder. ording to the information, the boy entered into the Cursed Wilderness along with another boy on a mission from the mercenary guild," the masked disciple exined in the same low voice. "Take 10 elitemander realm assassin along with you and finish that boy and bring his head," the third elder said after thinking for a moment. "Yes Elder," the masked realm disciple disappeared from the mission hall after replying. ''If not for that expected Demon world invasion, I would have gone myself to kill that brat,'' The third elder thought to himself after his personal disciple disappeared from the mission hall. Earlier, all the elders in the assassin sect got an emergency notice saying not to leave the assassin sect grounds due to the possible invasion of the Demon world. So, he was unable to leave the assassin sect at the moment. ''Still, it not a problem with my eldest personal disciple leading the mission. With his recently elevated general realm strength, he could easily finish the mission,'' Nevertheless, he was not worried that the mission would fail, as it was personally leading by his strongest and oldest personal disciple along with ten elitemander realm assassins. The third elder''s eyes shone with brilliance as he thought about this; If the mission was sessful, then he could get back his recognition back from the headquarters. So, he went to his seat and started his meditation. ¡­.. In the discipline hall, "Damn it, third elder. How dare to act as you don''t know anything about headquarters '' mission," The first elder angrily shouted, making his personal disciples shiver. ''I am always good with you and took care of you. Still, you didn''t tell me about the missions you were doing for the past few years,'' he became angrier with each passing second. In the assassin sect, the first elder thought that he was the leader of all the elders, but now, there was someone who he took care of, for the past few years that secretlypleted the missions from the headquarters. ********* Chapter 192: Never-returning cave

192 Never-returning cave

The first elder felt even angrier when he thought back to how he always took the side of the third elder and even opposed the second elder. However, recently he found out that the same third elder waspleting some missions from the headquarters and enjoying the rewards for himself without informing him. He felt jealousy, hatred, and all other negative emotions towards the third elder. "Master, there is something I wanted to inform," a disciple in the discipline hall uniform came forward and said with sweat behind his back. "What is it?" the first elder asked impatiently. "Just now, some of our patrolling disciples saw the third elder''s eldest personal disciple along with some strong mission hall disciples running out of the sect," the disciple said quickly fearing that his master would kill him if he wasted any time. "Huh? Looks like it about that mission," the first elder''s anger calmed down a little and asked, "Where is that boy I asked you to keep an eye." "One of our disciples who was following them sent the information that the boy entered the Cursed wilderness on a mission along with another member from the squad," The disciple informed quickly. ''What is that Edmond guy thinking, sending his squad''s young ones on a mission at a time like this?'' he thought to himself. Just like the Captains of the top mercenary squads, the first elder was also puzzled at Edmond''s way of doing things. ''Whatever, let me get this boy''s head first then I will show that bloody third elder what it means to hide important things from me,'' The first elder smiled cruelly as he looked at his disciples and ordered, "Kill that boy and bring me his head. If the disciples from the other hallses in your ways then clear them out without any hesitation." Although the missions that the third elder did in the past could be shared with the other elders from the assassin sect, however, he didn''t share any details and maintained secrecy as he wanted to get the full rewards for himself. Due to him, maintaining the secrecy of the missions, the headquarters gave him more missions to do. After hearing his orders, all the disciples who were in the hall disappeared. ... Not only in Mission and Discipline halls but all other halls had the same discussions and sent some of their strongest disciples to kill Ajax. ... Ajax and Paulin, who were flying towards the middle section of the Cured Wilderness, didn''t know that there was a hunt started for them by all the 12 halls of the assassin sect. "Senior brother look, is that the Never-returning cave that was mentioned in the mission?" After flying for more than 6 hours on the spirit crane, Ajax asked Paulin, pointing his finger towards and ancient-looking cave. However, with their current strengths, it was not a problem for them to take care of the spirit beasts from the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness. "Huh? Looks like it. ording to the location and the details mentioned in the mission matches with that cave surroundings exactly," Paulin looked at the surroundings of the ancient-looking cave and nodded his head. The area around the ancient-looking cave did not have a shed of grass growing in its surroundings. No spirit beasts or spirit birds were present, making it look like a deserted area. Whenever a mission was posted on the mission board of the mercenary guild, there would be all kinds of details to find the mission location. So with the details provided by the mercenary guild, they quickly rted the ancient-looking cave to the Never-returning cave. The Never-returning cave, as the name suggests, was a cave where people could enter but unable to return. However, the entered people were not dead as their life jades were still intact with their family members. To bring back their young ones, some of their family members with high cultivation tried to enter it, but they were unable to enter the cave as some powerful barrier blocked its entrance. That barrier only allowed the cultivators of the below general realm. So the powerful families used some of the elitemander realm cultivators to enter the cave to find out the mystery behind it. Despite their effort, they were unable to find any mystery behind the cave and even lost some of the elitemander realm cultivators. After multiple attempts, they were still unable to find out anything about the cave and named it as Never-returning cave. Eventually, as time passed, people forget the existence of this never-returning cave. At the same time, many people said that all the things about the never-returning cave were some baseless rumours. However, a mission that was rted to Never-returning cave had mysteriously appeared on the mission board of the mercenary guild. "Let''s find what is really inside this so-called Never-returning cave," Paulin looked at the ancient-looking cave and said. Ajax and Paulin also belonged to the second category of the people who didn''t believe the baseless rumours about the cave. There was a reason for it, though because their Squad Captain Edmond had sessfully returned from the never-returning cave which was only known to the Hazegroove squad members. In one of their mealtime conversations, Udo revealed the shocking secret of Edmond who returned alive from the Never-returning cave. However, when Ajax and others asked him to exin about the cave, Edmond stopped Udo from saying anything about it. "All, you have to know is that you are still not powerful enough to know," It was the reply from Edmond for them. At that time, Ajax had not even reached the elite soldier realm, so he didn''t show much interest. However, he had confidence in himself to aplish the mission now, since he had elemental spirits and some spirit beast in his arsenal. Even though he had confidence in himself in surviving in the Never-returning cave, he didn''t want to take some possible ''A'' danger rating mission which was mention in the mission''s beast skin. So he rejected it without thinking much. But when he saw the newly generated system mission and knew that the mission only had ''B+'' danger rating, he took it without hesitation. ********* Chapter 193: Weapon Markings

193 Weapon Markings

Since the system assigned the mission'' mystery behind the Never-returning cave'' as a ''B+'' danger rating mission, he wanted to aplish it. Not because of excitement or anything. Just for the reward which made Ajax wanted to aplish the mission. "Ajax, try to stay focus all the time when we enter the cave," Paulin warned Ajax as they entered the cave slowly. Ajax nodded his head in reply and maintained a certain degree of alertness. Soon, they entered the cave, which waspletely devoid of light andpletely silent. Just looking at it made them raise their guard against any unknown beings in the dark. ''Should I use the fire technique to create the fire?'' seeing the pitch-ck darkness, Ajax silently thought. "Ajax, just wait," Just as he was about to generate the fire from his essence of nature, he heard Paulin''s voice. Ajax didn''t know why Paulin said that, but he soon saw a shinning paper in Paulin''s hand which slowly hovered into the air. "A light talisman?" Ajax was surprised by the light talisman. "Yes, you know I am a talisman collector, right?" Paulinughed as he said. "Yes," Ajax replied with a small smile. All the squad members knew that Paulin would collect any type of talisman that he encounters. For example, when they went to the market square, Paulin bought a set of defence type talisman. So, Ajax was not shocked at the light talisman but little surprised as the light talisman was typically a rare one. With the light talisman, the surrounding darkness disappeared, making them feelfortable as they were able to see the interior of the cave. "Senior brother, what are those drawings?" Ajax pointed at the drawings on the cave. "Huh?" Paulin looked at the direction in which Ajax pointed his finger. On the cave''s walls, he saw some markings which were filled some profound knowledge in them. "These are drawn by weapons and I think they were called Weapon Markings," Paulin said while observing the weird drawings on the wall. ''Kekeke,'' All of a sudden, a ghostlyugh, which was low-pitched but easily heard by them in the silent cave. "Who''s there?" Paulin and Ajax immediately became alerted and stood with their backs touching each other while checking the entire cave with their eyes. ''No need to worry as it was a just a level 1 testing zone for the cultivator, keke,'' a humanoid figure emerged from a corner of the cave and slowly walked towards them. Although they were able to hear the voice clearly, they were not able to see the distant humanoid figure clearly until it came within the range of the light talisman. The humanoid figure waspletely formed by ck gas with no eyes. It only had a mouth. With which it continuously released a ghostlyugh. "Who are you?" "As long as youprehend any of the weapon markings on the wall, you can leave the cave, Keke," it stopped in a few steps away from them and said without answering their question. "First of all, say who are you? and what is this ce?" When he heard the words of the humanoid figure, Paulin paused for a moment and started thinking about something. However, Ajax, with his previously mustered courage, asked the being in front of him with a frown. ''I will answer, only if youprehend any one of those, keke,'' the figure said while pointing its finger at the drawings on the wall. "Ajax, let''s leave first," Surprisingly, Paulin said to Ajax all of a sudden, making him confused, but he didn''t ask anything and just followed Paulin towards the exit of the cave. ''You can''t leave unless youprehend it, keke,'' the humanoid figure didn''t stop Ajax and Paulin from leaving as heughed with its ghostlyugh. Just as they were about to leave the cave, a barrier stopped them from leaving the cave. "What?" Both Paulin and Ajax were shocked and turned to look at the humanoid figure. ''Now, you believe me right? Keke,'' The figure replied with theugh as usual. "Senior Brother, what''s wrong with you. Let''s justprehend those markings and learn more about the never-returning cave andplete the mission," Ajax suggested Paulin aboutprehending those markings and learn more about the Never-returning cave. ording to him, if hepletes the mission, he could learn more about the never-returning cave, which would help him, inpleting the system mission. Another reason, he wanted to try because he assumed Captain Edmond alsoprehended some markings, and because of it, he returned from the never-returning cave. However, why Edmond didn''t announce his achievement to the world was still a mystery for them. So he wanted to finishprehending a weapon marking and reveal all the mysteries about the never-returning cave. "Ajax, I think, there is something wrong with that being. It looks like a being from the demon. So it''s better to not listen to it," Paulin replied to Ajax''s question and looked at the humanoid figure with a cold expression on his face. ''Yes, I am from a demon but I can''t do anything as I don''t have a form or can''t use any of my techniques,'' the humanoid figure that was covered with ck smoke said and stopped for a moment before continuing, "However, one thing is sure, if you want to leave, thenprehend those markings; otherwise, you can apany me just like them." The humanoid figure pointed its blurry finger at some visible ces. Those ces were entirely covered with human skeletons. ''Senior Brother, let''s just do as it says,'' Ajax tried to convince Paulin who was headstrong on notpleting the task given by that blurry human figure. It''s not Paulin''s fault in not believing the blurry human figure''s words as he sensed that thing was from the demon world. In general, there was a saying in the human world that was ''Never believe a Demon even at the cost of your life.'' So, Paulin, who believed that demons were not to be trusted, didn''t want to follow the task given by it. "You want to make meprehend those markings? Sure. But, before that let me destroy you," All of a sudden, Paulin rushed at the humanoid figure with a sword in his hand and shed at the figure in front of him. Chapter 194: Transparent Sword

194 Transparent Sword

Seeing the rushing Paulin, the blurry human figure shook its head as though it was looking at an idiot. At the other end, Paulin sliced his sword through the body of the blurry human figure without any hesitation. However, the sword passed through the gaseous body of the blurry human figure as though there was nothing in front of him. ''You can''t do anything to me. Likewise, I can''t do anything to you. So you better startprehending the weapon markings; otherwise, you will end up like them, keke,'' the figure said the words and disappeared with his ghostlyugh. "What?" Both Paulin and Ajax was shocked by the words of the demon being that just disappeared before saying them toprehend the sword markings. They looked at each other faces first and nodded their heads before walking towards a wall. All the walls in the caves were drawn by some weapon markings, so they search for a suitable and easy toprehend marking to finish the task given by the demon in the form of a blurry human figure. They searched for some time before selecting a weapon marking separately, which they felt confident inprehending the marking quickly. Paulin selected a shallow marking which was barely visible because he thought that the marking must be easy toprehend as it was the smallest one among all the weapon markings. Whereas Ajax took a different approach in selecting a weapon marking. He selected a small but depth marking. Both of them sat and started observing and tried toprehend the mysteries behind the markings. Slowly, they were immersed inprehending the weapon markings. In the corner, the blurry figure observed them. ''Let''s see, will these kidsprehend or apany me for the rest of their lives, keke,'' the figure silently mumbled to itself seeing Ajax and Paulin who wereprehending the weapon markings. Seconds after seconds passed by, Soon seconds were turned into minutes. Minutes turned into an hour. However, there was no movement from either Ajax or Paulin. ¡­. As they wereprehended the weapon markings, in the outer section of the Curse Wilderness, some of the masked disciples were resting and talking about something. "Eldest senior brother, why is the first elder very serious about killing amander realm brat," a short masked figure asked another disciple who looked like a leader of their 10 unit team. "Yes Eldest senior brother, to kill amander realm brat, our master sent nine elitemander realm and a level 1 general realm cultivator. Is it necessary?" another disciple asked the same person that the first masked disciple asked the question to. However, to the previous two questions, the Eldest senior brother replied with an expressionless face before covering his face with the assassin sect mask. "Sure, Eldest senior brother," seeing the expressionless face, all the nine disciples suppressed their curiosity and nodded their heads. "Let''s go. ording to the information we got, that brat went towards the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness, so we have to find him before the members of other halls find him," the Eldest senior brother ordered the rest of the masked disciples. These masked disciples were the members of the discipline hall of the assassin sect who were on a search for Ajax on the order of the First Elder. In the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness, this was not the only group that was searching for Ajax. All the remaining eleven halls of the assassin sect started their search for Ajax on the order of their respective Hall Elder. ¡­.. Unbeknownst to this, Ajax was peacefullyprehending the dao behind the weapon marking that was on the cave''s wall. After a couple of hours, something happened, which made the blurry figure that was watching Ajax and Paulin from the one corner of the cave surprised. A transparent sword came out of the shallow weapon marking and hovered in front of Paulin for a moment before directly rushing into his chest. After it entered into him, a frown was formed on Paulin''s face as though he was feeling something inside him. ''Keke, interesting, interesting. One a couple of hours and he awakened the weapon stored inside the weapon marking. Much better than the one who returned alive from my abode a few years ago,'' the blurry human figureughed and said interesting a couple of times. Moreover, itpared Paulin with someone with the past. Inside Paulin''s consciousness, As soon as the transparent sword entered into his spirit consciousness, Paulin quickly checked his spirit consciousness only to see a transparent sword hovering in the air, opposite to his contracted elemental spirit. "Huh?" Paulin was confused about the sudden appearance of a sword in his spirit consciousness. However, he felt a small connection with the transparent sword as though it wasmunication with him. ''How did this sword entered into my spirit consciousness?'' ''Swoosh'' As he was thinking about the sword and the connection with it, the sword rushed towards him in an attempt to sh him. Paulin, who was in a spirit consciousness form, felt an ominous feeling seeing the iing sword. A spirit consciousness form was one in which anybody cultivator or spirit cultivator could observe his spirit consciousness. ''cious, Stop it,'' Before the sword could reach him, he ordered his elemental spirit cious to stop it. In a spirit consciousness form, the cultivator would be in his weakest form with no cultivation or any strength to protect himself. So he didn''t hesitate to order his elemental spirit to stop the sword that was rushing towards him. Hearing themand form his summoning master the Water/Ice dual elemental spirit moved fastly and tried to hold the hilt of the transparent sword. Although he caught to hilt of the sword, cious was still unable to stop it. He was being pulled along with the sword towards his summoning master. ''What the heck!'' Seeing the sword that was pulling his contracted elemental spirit along with it, Paulin was shocked. As it was interestingly watched Paulin who was facing the weapon that entered into his spirit consciousness, the figure observed another surprising thing happening from the weapon marking that Ajax was selected. "What?" Chapter 195: Heavens destroyer spear

195 Heaven''s destroyer spear

"What?" The blurry human figure was utterly shocked by the thing that materialized from the weapon marking that Ajax was selected. ''How did he evenprehend that thing? Its initial interest turned into shock and continued thinking, ''Although it was only the basic form of that weapon, still amander realm cultivator can''tprehend it.'' Its ghostlyugh was disappeared entirely, and his thinking was also in turmoil when he saw the shocking event of a long transparent spear materialized from the weapon making in front of Ajax. After the long spear was formed, it rushed into Ajax''s spirit consciousness without wasting any time. ''Aarrgh'' As soon as it entered into him, Ajax shouted in pain and rolled on the ground. Within a few seconds, the pain disappeared as Ajax opened his eyes and looked at Paulin. On Paulin''s face, he had a frown. Also, the blurry human figure was watching them from the corner of the cave. ''What''s happening to Senior brother Paulin?'' Ajax asked the blurry human figure which he was unable to see clearly due to the distance between them. ''Keke, Hey, boy. First, look after yourselves then worry about others,'' the blurry human figure replied with its usual ghostlyugh. When it saw Ajax open his eyes, he was surprised a little and returned to its usual self as it replied with its ''Keke''ugh. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t understand what that figure was talking but looked at Paulin whose frown was increasing with each passing second and worried. ''You will die if you don''t check your spirit consciousness, Keke,'' seeing Ajax, who was still alive the blurry human figure puzzled and said Ajax to check his spirit consciousness. Although he heard the figure''s word, Ajax didn''t pay any heed to it and still watched Paulin and wanted to help him. But the problem was he didn''t have a clue about what was happening with his senior brother Paulin. ''Should I just wake him up?'' Ajax quickly rejected his idea of waking Paulin up fearing it might harm his brother even more. ''He is fine, just focus on your spirit consciousness,'' the blurry human figure became angry that Ajax didn''t pay any attention to his earlier words and still worrying about Paulin. "Huh?" just as the blurry human figure finished his words, Ajax felt something move in his spirit consciousness, but he looked at the figure as though he was expecting something from him. ''Ok ok, I will swear that I will help your senior brother if you check your spirit consciousness,'' seeing the stubborn look on Ajax''s face, the blurry human figure finally swore to help Paulin. As soon as he heard those words, he quickly checked his spirit consciousness without wasting any time. After seeing the Ajax, who closed his eyes to check his spirit consciousness, the blurry human figure sighed in a very low voice. In his spirit consciousness, Ajax saw a long transparent spear that was hovering in the air. Not only he saw the long transparent spear but also his tiny sword which was almost invisible in front of the spear. ''Where did this thinge from?'' Just like Paulin, Ajax was also confused at the sudden appearance of a transparent spear which was two meters long. ''But it looks powerful and cool,'' he thought as he looked at the appearance of the spear. ''Tring tick'' As he was observing the long transparent spear, it started attacking his almost invisible sword. However, to his surprise, the little sword quickly defended the piercing attacks of the long spear. ''Ting'' ''Triing'' The long spear continued its piercing attacks whereas the little sword continued defending. Seeing the fight between the weapons, Ajax felt like he wasprehending something from their attacks. ''Since that figure swore to help Paulin, I will try toprehend something from their attacks,'' Although he didn''t believe the blurry human figure, he felt that there was no need for him to swore to Ajax to check his own spirit consciousness. Ajax felt like heprehended something from the weapon marking he chose earlier, but he still didn''t know what it was. However, one thing was for sure. The blurry figure was trying to help him inprehending the weapon marking. So he took his time to observe attacks of both weapons. Earlier, when he wasprehending the mysteries behind the weapon marking, he gained a basic understanding of the Piercing force. ''Concentrate the entire body force and transfer it to the tip of the weapon,'' was the basic understanding he gained from the weapon marking. Now when he looked at the long transparent spear''s piercing attacks, they increased his previously gainedprehension from the weapon marking. ''Huh?'' as theprehension of the spear dao in his head increased, he felt the mightiness of the spear and how better he could use his bloodlust spear even more. Along with the spear dao, which was slowly forming inside his head, the sword dao that was already reached level 1 also increased as he gained theprehension from the little sword''s defending attacks. Albeit, it was very slowpared to the spear dao. However, Ajax was not dejected at the slowprehension in his sword dao; instead, he felt happy as he was able toprehend the spear dao at a rapid pace. As time passed, the piercing attacks from the long spear increased and gained a small upper hand against the little sword. As the intensity of the piercing attacks increased theprehension, he gained in the spear dao also increased. ''I think, I should help the little sword; otherwise, it will be destroyed by the mighty transparent spear,'' Ajax could guess what would happen if his little sword was destroyed. ''It would definitelye for me after it destroys the little sword,'' So without hesitation, he used his essence of nature along with his level sword dao, he took called the little sword into his hands. Hearing the summon from Ajax, the little sword force a powerful sh and rush into Ajax''s hand. Along the way, the few inches sword turned into the size of a regr sword andnded in Ajax''s hands. ''If you want a fight, thene,'' Ajax looked at the long spear and motioned it to attack him. Chapter 196: Guild master and Rulf 1

In the Hazegroove Mercenary Squad''s residence building, "Hahaha,"?A loudugh could be heard from one of the rooms in the building. "Almost all the things were done toplete my mission. Let''s see who will stop me from tearing down the fire sword sect," A middle-aged man with a muscr build slowly came out of the room and said with excitement on his face. "Although the breakthrough to the Elite General Realm looked somewhat forced, It will be okay as long as I take some time to stabilize the newly gained strength," the middle-aged man thought about his breakthrough to the Elite General Realm. The middle-aged man was none other than Edmond Hazegroove who consumed the monster peach and broke through to the Elite General Realm. His breakthrough didn''t stop there but continued all the way to level 5 of the Elite General realm. ''But, I should find the right time to initiate the mission,'' he thought in his head about initiating some mission. "What happened Edmond? Why are youughing out loud at this time?" As Edmond was pondering about some mission, he heard Udo Keenaxe''s words which sounded a bit irritated. For the past few days, Udo was working on some mission that Edmond assigned to him, and hepleted today''s scheduled work ahead of time as he wanted to rest peacefully for one night. However, just as he was about to rest, he heard Edmond''s loudugh and came down to check on him. "Udo, you came at the right time," Edmond didn''t mind the words of Udo and continued, "Do you know what happened today?" Edmond didn''t say anything about the breakthrough or anything but asked Udo. "What would have happened today? Seeing thatugh of yours I could guess that you might breakthrough a minor realm or two," Udo replied jokingly looking at Edmond''s happy face. Udo''s irritation went away when he looked the happy face on his friend, which he didn''t see for a long time. So, he jokingly answered to Edmond''s question. "Yes, I broke through a major realm," Edmond said with a smile on his face. "Only a single major realm...What?" Udo stopped his sentence in the middle and shouted ''What'' at Edmond''s face. "Yes, I broke through to level 5 of the Elite General Realm," Edmond shared his happiness with his childhood friend. "Are you serious? How did you break through to the Elite General Realm so soon?" Udo asked with his jaw dropped. "Hahaha," Instead of replying answer to Udo''s question, Edmond replied with augh. It''s not like he didn''t want to tell Udo about Monster peach that Ajax gave him, but he felt that the suspiciousness about Ajax would increase in Udo''s heart. So he refrained from answering his questions. Edmond knew about Udo''s character. If he felt suspicious about someone, he would waste his time until the doubt in his heart goes away. "Ok then, we will proceed to the next step in the mission," Seeing that Edmond didn''t answer him, Udo didn''t ask him any questions; instead he asked about the mission. As soon as he heard about the mission, Edmond turned serious and shook his head. "It''s still not the right time for it," he said to Udo before returning to his room. "Ok," Udo replied and walked towards his room. ''Although he didn''t want to say about his breakthrough, I guess, it must be rted to Ajax, ''along the way, he thought. Like how Edmond knew about Udo''s character, simrly, Udo also knew about Edmond. So he was able to guess the reason behind why Edmond was not answering about his breakthrough. "But, why did he do to Edmond that he was able to break through to the Elite General realm within 12 hours," Despite the fact that he was able to guess the reason, he didn''t know how amander realm cultivator could increase the cultivation of a General realm cultivator. ''I should increase my focus on that kid,'' Udo shook his head and returned to his room to rest. .... In the Mercenary Guild''s Guild master room, All the walls of the room were painted entirely in red. Except for a sturdy chair and table set and other small things, the room had almost nothing. In the chair sat an old man who had an average build that didn''t suit his age. Before him, a middle-aged man stood respectfully. "Guildmaster, some kids from the Hazegroove squad picked up that never-returning cave mission," a middle-aged man notified to the man who sat in a chair. "Huh?" The old man in the chair who was called Guildmaster looked a little surprised and asked, "How many hours have passed since they took the mission?" "Around 12 hours." The middle-aged man felt something when looked at the surprised guild master but still answered respectfully. "Hm," the old man nodded his head. "But guild master, why did you ask me to watch that specific mission?" the middle-aged man asked with a question mark on his face. "Oh Rulf, Do you really want to know about it?" the old man asked the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged man called Rulf nodded his head. "Do you remember thest time someone took the same mission I kept on the mission board?" The guild master started his exnation with a question. "Yes, I remember. Because at the time, it was one of a few ''A'' danger rating mission which was least pick by any individual mercenary or mercenary squad," Rulf, answered as he remembered everything regarding the never-returning cave mission. After he nodded, he said, "Wasn''t that mission picked up by Edmond, who was now the captain of the top 3 mercenary squads." "Yes, Do you know how he got the strength that he has now?" the old man smiled as he looked at Rulf, who followed him from his childhood mysteriously. "Huh?" Rulf raised his brow and asked, "Don''t tell me, it had something to do with that cave?" "Hahaha, what do you think?" the old man still not answered his question as he continued his mysterious smile which gave Rulf a shock. "So, it was really the cave that gave him the strength," Rulf, who was following the guild master from his childhood understood him very much as he confirmed his guess seeing the smile on the guild master. Chapter 197: Guild Master and Rulf 2

197 Guild Master and Rulf 2

"Yes," Hearing Rulf''s confirmation, the guild master nodded his head in agreement. "But guild master, didn''t you say that Edmond didn''tplete the mission. Also, he returned to deregister the mission the next day," Rulf was confused and asked his doubts. "I only said, he didn''t submit that mission as aplished," the guild master said as he shook his head at Rulf who didn''t understand his exact words from back then. "Huh?" Rulf looked at the guild master for more exnation. "Hepleted the mystery behind the Never-returning cave, but he didn''t announce it the world as though something was obstructing him from saying about the never-returning cave," The old guild master paused for a second before continuing, "By his words from back then he never admitted that he finished the mission, but his actions said another story." "So, this is a good thing for all the humans, right?" Rulf was excited as the never-returning cave could increase the cultivation of an individual. When Edmond took the mission, he was only an Elitemander realm cultivator. Still, after a few months, his abilities drastically improved, which made him admired by most of the mercenaries. "Oh Rulf, you still didn''t understand it," the old guild master shook his head at the foolish follower. Rulf''s excitement disappeared at the guild master''s serious words. "After Edmond left the mercenary guild, I asked him about the never-returning cave to which he answered ''If you find a cultivator with my abilities, then you will know'', after that he didn''t answer any of my questions," The old man sighed as he exined the exact words from Edmond from the past. "How dare he, he didn''t say even to you who asked him personally?" Rulf became angry after hearing the exnation of the guild master. ording to him, his master was the greatest among all, so he was willingly following him from his childhood. By following the guild master, he became from a weak, powerless child to one of the top cultivators. So when he heard that Edmond didn''t exin the mystery behind the Never-returning cave, even when his master asked personally, he was enraged. "It''s not his fault. I didn''t saw any arrogance nor disrespect in him when he said those words, but some other reason made him unable to say the mystery behind the cave," "From then on, I tried to find a candidate with the same abilities of the Edmond before he took that Never-returning cave mission. However, it was impossible to find another one like Edmond who had the battle prowess higher than his peer with the same cultivation level," the guild master finally sighed. It was a known fact that only the cultivator below the general realm could enter the cave, so the guild master was unable to find a cultivator below the general realm who had the abilities of the old Edmond. "Stop that evil smile on your face, it doesn''t suit you," the guild master mocked Rulf about his evil smile which didn''t suit him at all with his innocent-looking face. "Alos, do you think, you can force him to reveal his secrets?" The guild master didn''t give any chance for Rulf before mocking once again. "Why can''t I make him reveal?" Rulf asked with confusion. ording to him, Edmond had a level 5 or 6 general realm strength where he had recently broken through to the elite general realm. So he was confident about making Edmond reveal the mystery behind the Never-returning cave. "Haha, you will be shocked if you knew his background, but you don''t go in his way," the guild masterughed as he shook his head. "Master, what is his backgr¡­," "Just leave that matter for now. Let''s discuss the ''Strongest Five'' event. How are the preparations going on?" Before Rulf could finish his words, the guild master stood up from his chair and interjected Rulf''s words but changing the subject to ''The strongest five'' event that was conducted by them. "Yes, guild master. I have arranged all the things for the event; However, due to the sudden sightings of the demon servants, I put the event on hold," Rulf didn''t ask about Edmond''s background and exined about the event''s preparation. "Good. Put the event in hold until we clear the appeared demon servants. Also, take some rest. You are looking way too tired," The guild master nodded his head and advised Rulf to take some rest. "Yes, Guildmaster," Rulf took his master''s advice and left the room slowly. Although Rulf called the old man as guild master most of the time, they were a master-follower pair. However, their bond was more than that. Originally, Rulf was an orphan who was always bullied by other children. One day, the guild master noticed him while passing through his vige and took pity on him. He gave him food and taught various cultivation and fighting techniques. Seeing the care of the guild master towards him, he saw his father in the guild master who was passed away when he was eight years old. So, he didn''t go against the guild master''s words until now. Whatever the guild master says, he would do it dly without any hesitation. ''What are you nning now Edmond, by sending two young ones int the never-returning cave?'' After Rulf left his room, the guild master silently thought in his head. ''Since you sent them into the cave, that shows you are confident in them. I will see what will they do after they return. Will they do the same thing as you did in the past?'' the guild master continued to think about the never-returning cave that he was obsessed with, for a few years now. Although he wasted so much time trying to solve the secret behind the never-returning cave, he thought it was worth the time for him. ...¡­.. Outside the Guildmaster''s room, ''I wonder what is the background of Edmond that made even the guild master to not to reveal?'' Rulf, who left the guild master''s room, pondered about the background of Edmond along the way to his room. ''Is it really powerful? The guild master has only a few opponents in the Zrochestor province. So, Edmond might be from one of those few opponents'' sects or families,'' he shook his head and left to the room. Those opponents were mostly the grand elders of the sects and people from the Royal family. So, Rulf immediately rted Edmond to those people and stopped thinking about Edmond since he couldn''t really make him reveal the secrets about the cave if he was rted to those people. Chapter 198: Spear Dao

198 Spear Dao

In Ajax''s spirit consciousness, ''If you want a fight, thene,'' Ajax looked at the long spear and motioned it to attack him. ''Whoosh'' When it saw his gesture, the long spear rotated for a moment and rushed towards him while spinning itself. As it spun very rapidly, some kind of force generated at the tip of the long spear that made Ajax grip his sword tightly. ''Come,'' he silently waited for the spear toe near him as though he was waiting for something. ''Swosh'' Ajax waited until the long spear came near him before dodging it with an inch and shed at the joint between the spearhead and the handle. ''Kacha'' Due to his attack in which he used his sword dao to increase his attack speed, the long transparent spear broke into two. "Sess," Ajax excitedly shouted when he saw his idea worked on dealing with the long spear. However, his excitement didn''tst long as he saw the two parts of the spear, which he just cut, started growing and formed into twoplete spears. Seeing the two spears, Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect the long spear to have the ability to multiply. As soon as the two long spears formed, Ajax became very serious as he knew he couldn''t take the long spear lightly anymore. ''Swoosh'' Ajax, who was pondering how to defeat that thing, suddenly saw a small light sparkle enter into his spirit consciousness form as he got a series of system notifications. ''Ding, A small speck of spear dao entered the host''s consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forprehending the spear dao. ''Ding, Please check the spear dao details in the user interface. "I really wanted something like this now, Hahaha" Ajaxughed when he saw the system notifications, and he desired to fight the spear increased. The reason for his desire to fight was very simple. He observed that the more he fight the spear, the moreprehension into the spear dao he gets. Without any dy in his time, he quickly checked his user interface. Soon a holographic screen appeared with all his data on it. He didn''t check all the data, but he focused on the Spear dao in the Weapons dao section. ''Ding, Weapon Dao:- Spear Dao (level 1) Type:-?Tornado Effect:- a 20 percent increase in piercing power with all spear type attacks. Description:- Whenever the host uses a spear, it will gain a tornado effect, and the piercing power of that spear will increase by 20 percent. "A tornado type? No wonder, it always spins while attacking," Ajax was not surprised in the type of spear dao he gained as the long transparent spear attacked him while spinning around itself. ''However, that 20 percent increase in the piercing was too powerful,'' ''Swoosh,'' As he was pondering about the effect of the spear dao he learned, the two long spears rushed at him with lightning speed. ''Aargh'' However, the sword in his hand automatically made him dodge the iing spear attacks. Nevertheless, he was unable to dodge one of the spearspletely. That spear pierced through his hand, making him cry in pain. "Damn you spears. I was just checking my new spear dao," Although Ajax said that, he knew he was careless for a moment in checking the spear dao. But, it was important for him to know what his spear dao could do. So he didn''t regret checking the information about the spear dao he gained. On the contrary, he was itching to try his new spear dao against the two long spears, which was once againing on their way to pierce him. ''Although I don''t have a spear to try my new spear dao, I can use the knowledge of it against the spears,'' Ajax thought in his head. The thing he wanted to do now was to use both weapons dao in two steps. In step one, he wanted to use the spear dao to predict the iing spears'' attacks, and in the second step, he would use his fastest-type sword dao to sh them. "If my n goes well, then I will gain both spear dao and sword dao," He assumed as he looked at the two iing spears. Soon, he concentrated on the spears and used the knowledge of spear do to predict their movement and readied himself with the sword using his sword dao. As though they sensed something, the long spears seemed excited as they increased their speed and shot towards him. Like before, he waited for them toe near him so that he could take advantage and destroy them. ''Triing'' ''Tiing'' However, the long spears'' speed was very fast that he was barely able to deflect them with his sword. ''If I have not learned the sword dao I would have long lost the single spear not to mention two spears with increased speed,'' Ajax was d that he learned the sword dao by practicing the entire night. What Ajax thought was absolutely right. If not for his sword dao, his spirit consciousness form was destroyed with just a single long spear with the normal speed. Although he could have used his elemental spirits to fight them, they were not in his spirit consciousness at the moment and were cultivating in the inner world. So he had only his little sword and his fast type sword dao to rely on. Moreover, he tried to transport his elemental spirits from the inner world, but he was unable to do that. ''I should not always rely on my elemental spirits. It''s just a long transparent spear, and I can fight this,'' Ajax motivated himself and closed his eyes for a moment. At the same time, the long spears prepared their next piercing attacks. They rushed towards him at the same speed as their earlier attacks while maintaining their spinning action. However, before they could reach Ajax, he opened his eyes, and with his full attack speed, he shed at them. A sword wave that looked much bigger and powerful than the sword wave he created to impress Cerauno in the elemental spirit world appeared when he shed now. Chapter 199: Understanding the Spear

199 Understanding the ''Spear''

''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' The sword wave easily cut through the two long spears, which were around 3 meters away from Ajax. As soon as the long spears were damaged, they turned into two small specks of light, each one from a long spear and entered into Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. ''Ding, The host gains a small amount ofprehension into the spear dao. ''Ding, The host gains a small amount ofprehension into the spear dao. Seeing the two system notifications, instead of feeling happy, he was dejected. His dejected expression was that he didn''t get a breakthrough in either of his weapons dao. ''No wonder, people say that cultivating a weapon dao to the peak is really time-consuming,'' However, when he thought about the people who were willing to dedicate years to just increase theirprehension by a little in the weapon dao, he felt better and content with the small increase in hisprehension. As he was checking his gains from round 2, just like before, the broken long spear four pieces turned in four long spears causing Ajax to feel both happy and anxious. He was happy as he could gain a smallprehension with each long spear he destroyed and felt anxious as he thought the limit of the long spear''s multiply ability when destroyed. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to ept his defeat without reaching his limits and quickly started to n his battle strategy on how to fight the four long spears. ''I should focus on destroying one of the spears at the same defend the other three,'' He concluded to focus on one spear before attacking other spears. With that thought in his mind, he stood on the fighting stance and focused on a single spear while maintaining an eye on the other three spears. The spears rushed at him with their usual movements to pierce his spirit consciousness form. Ajax already felt the pain of spear piercing though is hand, and he didn''t want to get pierced by the spear in his spirit consciousness form. Although he was used to enduring the pain, the pain he felt in his spiritual consciousness form was worst whenpared to all the pains he had gone through from his childhood. So, he wanted never to get pierced by them again when he concentrated on one spear and kept his other eye on the remaining three long spears. ''Swoosh'' All the four longs spears rushed at the Ajax, who stood with a resolved look on his face and waited for the right moment to attack. ''Tiinng'' ''Kacha'' Ajax used his fastest sword dao to deflected the three of the four iing spears and shed at thest spear he focused on and broke it into two pieces. ''Ding, The host gains a small amount ofprehension into the spear dao. However, he didn''t check it as he was focused on the two pieces of the long spear he just cut as he wanted to know whether it would generate into two long spears or not. "Uff," Ajax released a sigh when he saw the broken pieces were just hovering in the air without showing any movement making him relieved. ''20 percent attack speed is a good effect,'' Next, he praised the effect of the level 1 sword dao. He was able to deflect the three long spears due to his 20 percent attack speed from the level 1 sword dao. He didn''t spend his time on pondering and focused on the battle with the spears. ''Swoosh'' ''Trinng'' Although he could not destroy another long spear, he was able to deflect all the three spears with ease this time as hisprehension in both the weapons dao increased a little after he managed to cut a spear earlier. Also, since there was one less spear on the opposite side, his fighting became a little easierpared to the earlier round of four spears. ''My movements are bing smooth and my understanding in handling the sword is much better than before,'' As the fight with the three spears was not too easy nor too overpowered, Ajax felt excited and waited for the spears to attack him as he stood at the same ce in his fighting stance. He never moved from his ce as it would be moreplicated if he moved and surrounded by the three spears from all the directions. Ajax always maintained the three spears in one direction so he could easily concentrate and defend himself from their sneak attacks. Soon another round of rushing spears started, and Ajax waited for them toe near him before using his 20 percent attack speed and destroying one of them while deflecting the other two spears. ''Ding, As usual, he got the system notification but didn''t bother to look at it and enjoyed the feeling of gaining theprehension into the spear dao. Although itsted only for a moment, he enjoyed the feeling of it before looking at the two spears with greedy eyes. He turned into greedy as the two long spears could probably help him reach level 2 of the spear dao with two specks of light from them. ''Once I get to level 2 in the spear dao and use the Bloodlust spear to attack, who will stand a chance against me, Hehe,'' Ajax cunninglyughed, which didn''t suit him well. Instead of waiting for them to rush at him, he took the initiative to rush at them this time. Seeing the rushing Ajax, the two long spears increased their speed in spinning and rushed at him. ''Huh? So, you are also excited at me. Thene,'' Ajax sensed some kind of excitement for them as they rushed to him and smiled. He didn''t feel anxious anymore as his confidence increased with each spear he took down along with each small increment in his spear dao. The increment in the spear dao didn''t only increase the piercing power but also his understanding of the spears, so he was able to sense that the spears were clearly excited, when they saw him rushed towards them. Chapter 200: Blurry human figure helps

200 Blurry human figure helps

''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Ajax''s sword broke the two long spears with his 20 percent attacking speed from the level 1 sword dao. ''It was easier than I thought,'' Ajax mumbled after breaking thest two long spears. As he cut them, two small specks entered into him along with two system notifications. ''Ding, The host gains a small amount ofprehension into the spear dao. ''Ding, .. He didn''t check them properly and felt the ecstasy of theprehension. ''Still, it''s not enough to break through to level 2 in the spear dao.'' Amidst his ecstasy, he frowned a little and mumbled. He felt that he reached the peak of level 1, and some kind of barrier was obstructing him from breaking through to level 2 in the spear dao. ''Sigh¡­ it''s really very time-consuming to make a breakthrough in the weapon dao,'' Ajax sighed at the spear dao, but he knew it was already good that he made a lot of progress in the spear dao. As he was pondering, all the idle broken pieces of spear moved and attracted to each other. They soonbined into a single giant spear which looked even mightier than before, making him feel some ominous feeling in his heart. ''Now, I have to fight this thing?'' looking a the majestic long transparent spear, Ajax''s jaw dropped. Just looking at it made him fear then how could he fight it. It was not Ajax''s fault to fear as the spear exuded a might aura from it, which suppressed his sword. However, the good thing was the materialized giant spear didn''t attack him as soon as it was formed and waited for him to adjust to the suppression he was feeling from it. Seeing that it was attacking, Ajax took his time to close his eyes and stabilized the suppression he was feeling from it. Although it took only a few moments to stabilize the spear''s suppression, he felt like his spear dao received some kind of boost from it. However, he was still unable to break through to level 2 in the spear dao. ''I just need a little push for both of my weapons dao to reach level 2 in their respective dao,'' He thought as he looked at the mighty spear in front of him, which was waiting for him to get used to the aura it released. ¡­.. As Ajax fought Heaven''s destroyer spear in his spirit consciousness, the blurry human figure watched him with a puzzled look on its blurry face. ''What the heck! This kid is still alive even after he entered into his spear. Did he win against the spear? No, it''s impossible for him to tame that spear,'' the blurry figure continuously questioned and answered himself. Nevertheless, he was feeling shocked with each passing second when he looked at the Ajax, who was showing a frown from time to time. ''Aarrgh,'' The pained cry was from Paulin, who was fighting a sword in his spirit consciousness and was clearly at a disadvantage. ''I guess, I should help him...sigh,'' the figure sighed as it moved close to Paulin, who was making some pained noises. Although he doesn''t know what was happening in other spirit consciousness, the blurry figure could guess it was bad. However, that was not the reason he was helping Paulin. He was helping Paulin because he swore that he would help him to Ajax before Ajax went into his spirit consciousness form. Soon, he went near Paulin, ced his hand, and mumbled something that was impossible to hear. As he mumbled something, some of the ck mist that was surrounding him entered into Paulin''s spirit consciousness. After he did that, he went back to his original position in the corner of the cave. ''Sigh...For the first time in my entire life, I broke a rule that I set for myself,'' the blurry human figure paused for a moment and looked at Ajax and continued, "Maybe I was hoping something when I swore to help him, keke." At the end of his words, the blurry human figure revealed his usual ghostlyugh as he looked at Ajax. ... Inside Paulin''s spirit consciousness, ''Am I going to die?'' Paulin, who was in his spirit consciousness form, slowly looked at the Sword that wasing at him. His body was full of holes as though that sword was pierced through his spirit consciousness form many times, which made him shouted in pain. Beside him, his elemental spirit cious was in an even more terrible state with cuts all over its body and was unconscious. Even though it had the strength of the elemental spiritmander, he couldn''t utilize his entire strength in his summoning master''s spirit consciousness. So he could not fight the sword, which had a minimum of level 2 sword dao. If one''s spirit consciousness form were destroyed, it would not lead them to their death; instead, it would make them enter into aatose state. Unless they were treated with high-grade medicines, that cultivator couldn''t turn back into his normal state. Such a state was almost equal to death or even worse than death. So, Paulin thought that he was going to die from the attack of the sword. Just as the sword was about to sh his spirit consciousness form, Paulin suddenly felt some foreign energy enter into his and his elemental spirit body recovering all the wounds. The ck energy didn''t stop there but also restricted the movements of the iing sword. Seeing the mighty sword that yed him for a while, stop in mid-air suddenly, Paulin felt rxed and sighed. Without wasting any time, he quickly checked the wounds on his elemental spirit, which were recovering very fast, and then he checked the sword, which was still hovering in mid-air. He took the sword form cious and shed it at the mid-air hovering sword with all his might. To his surprise, he could not destroy it and felt it was impossible to destroy it. On the contrary, he felt something was budding in him, but he didn''t bother to check it as his first priority now was to destroy the sword before it could move again. Chapter 201: Paulins Sword Dao

201 Paulin''s Sword Dao

''Triing'' ''at'' Paulin swung his sword one sh after another continuously until he felt tired and stopped hitting it. With each sh, something was forming in him, and it continued until he stopped. ''Kacha'' As soon as he stopped his swinging, he froze for a moment as he felt his previously gainedprehension from the weapon marking increased all of a sudden, and with a ''Kacha'' sound, he sessfully entered the level 1 sword dao. ''Th..this is ..,'' Paulin was speechless as he unknowingly entered into sword dao. ''Hahaha,'' He startedughing all of a sudden and all his tiredness from the earlier swinging of his sword. ''Just hitting this sword made me enter the sword dao. What a miraculous thing it is!'' He was speechless for a second at how easily he gained the entry into the sword dao and praised the sword in mid-air. As he looked at the sword hovering in the air, his eyes shed with brilliance, took a cious sword, and started hitting it. Who doesn''t want a freeprehension into a particr weapon dao, when they could just get it by hitting that particr weapon. So he didn''t waste any time and started his swinging. However, after each swing, he would stop and sense, gainingprehension into his sword dao. Despite the fact that he was getting a freeprehension into the sword doa, he didn''t know who made it stop in mid-air. But he didn''t think about it and would not care about it either as he was looking at the juicy sword in front of him. He soon gained level 1 sword dao to strike the sword that was still idle. ''I think my attack power increased by a small amount,'' Although he could not precisely tell how much his attack power with the sword had increased, he felt the increase making him feel happy. Like Ajax''s sword dao, which was a fast type and would increase his attack power by 20 percent, Paulin gained theprehension into the power type sword dao, which would increase his attack power by 20 percent. Due to the increase in his attack power, he became excited, increased the number of attacks, and continuously shed it. After a few minutes of swinging and shing, small cracks appeared on the sword along with theprehension he was gaining with each strike was also increased. When he made his sword dao to the medium grade level 1, the sword suddenly dodged his attack and flew a small distance away from him. "What the heck!" Paulin was shocked at the sudden movement from the sword and became alert. Although he became alert, he didn''t have his earlier fear as he had two reasons for that. The first reason was that he gained aprehension into the sword dao, which even reached middle-grade level 1. And the second reason was that the sword was covered in cracks. He didn''t give it any time as he rushed after the sword that was just moved away from him and shed it. However, Paulin underestimated the cracked sword a little bit. The sword suddenly rushed at him with lightning speed. In return, Paulin used his sword to attack as his sword dao was about attack power, so he wanted to use it instead of defending himself. ''ack'' Both sides ended up in a stalemate as the transparent sword, and the sword in Paulin''s hand shed. Although they ended up in a stalemate, both parties didn''t back down; instead, they forced one another. ''Kacha cacha.'' They were at it for a few moments before sounds of breaking came from the transparent sword as the earlier cracks becamerger andrger. Seeing this, Paulin used even more strength to force the transparent sword back. ''Aaargh'' ''Kacha'' Paulin shouted as he increased his attack power to his peak form, which made the transparent sword break all of a sudden. "Ufff..." As soon as it was broken, Paulin heaved a long sigh and went to his elemental spirit, who was recovering his earlier wounds. ''Thud'' A small speck of light from the broken pieces of the sword entered into him, and his sword dao sessfully broke through to level 2 of the sword dao. ''Hahaha,'' Paulin was over the moon as he sensed the break-through in his sword dao. As he was feeling happy, the broken pieces were attracted together and formed back into the same transparent sword he fought earlier. "What the ¡­," before he could say anything, the transparent sword rushed towards him three times faster than before. He didn''t waste any time and shed his sword at it. However, to his surprise, the transparent sword entered into the sword he was using. As soon as it entered cious''s swords in Paulin''s hand, the sword started to shake, and it shined brightly, making his sight unclear. It only shined for a moment before the light covering it disappeared. Only then, Paulin was able to see the changes that were made to the sword in his hand. Previously the sword in his hand was a transparent one with a light blue background with a white line on it. However, now it had changed into a dark blue color without a hint of white color in it. Also, it exuded a powerful aura from it, which would make non-sword dao cultivators shiver. ''But this is not my sword,'' Paulin shook his head and thought, ''I can use it when required until then let cious use it.'' With that thought, he returned to his elemental spirit, which waspletely healed and looked at his sword in his summoning master''s hand. "What are you looking at? I will give it to you. Don''t worry," Paulin was speechless when he saw cious, who was staring at his sword in Paulin''s hand and replied. "No no master. I was practicing the sword from a few years in the elemental spirit world but I was unable to enter the sword dao. However, just looking at that sword, I feel, if I practice with that sword, I can learn a sword dao in a few days," cious hurriedly exined. "Huh? Elemental spirits can also learn weapons dao too," Paulin asked him in confusion. Chapter 202: Spear soul

202 Spear soul

"Yes, we elemental spirits...," cious exined about everything on how elemental spirits started learning weapons dao due to their boredom in the elemental spirit world. "Hmm," Paulin nodded his head after understanding about elemental spirits. "You can take your sword. I will only use it if I had to," Paulin casually said while handing the sword in his hand to cious. "Thanks, master," cious dly epted the sword. After giving the sword back to him, Paulin came out of his spirit consciousness and opened his eyes. The first thing he checked after opening his eyes was Ajax. Seeing the frown on his face, Paulin looked worried as he knows what was happening inside Ajax''s spirit consciousness. "Don''t worry he is fine. Just take some test," the blurry human figure advised Paulin to rest as he sessfullypleted his test. "Hmm," Paulin nodded and sat down to observe Ajax. Paulin''s earlier views on the blurry human figure were changed as he now knows that this never-returning cave was rted to some kind of trial or inheritance, and there was nothing demonic here. He didn''t casually change his views, though. He thought that if this cave were really demonic, then his squad captain Edmond would not have returned after entering into the cave. Seeing the silently sitting Paulin, the blurry figure remained calm and watched Ajax, who was having a frown from time to time. Inside Ajax''s spirit consciousness, ''I can win this,'' Ajax muttered as he rushed at the giant spear that was hovering in the air. He changed his attack strategy from waiting to rushing since there was only a single spear he doesn''t have to worry about any sneak attacks. He used his 20 percent attack speed to attack the giant spear, waiting for him toe near it. However, the giant transparent spear simply dodged his attack and started spinning around itself. As soon as it started spinning, Ajax felt a great force was building up in front of the tip of the spear. The building up force was more powerful than the forces the previous four spears had created, which made him increase his alertness. ''If you can survive this, you win; otherwise, you will die,'' as he increased his alertness, Ajax heard a voice in his head. ''Who?'' He knew that this voice doesn''t belong to the system nor the old voice, which he heard when he was in some kind of danger. It was somewhat different from those voices. Also, there was a hint of happiness in the voice he just heard. However, the voice didn''t give any reply; instead, the giant spear rushed towards him with the great force it created. ''Uff'' Ajax took a long breath and focused on the iing spear and readied himself with the sword in his hand. He waited for it toe near to him. ''ng'' Despite the fact that he used all his strength, hecked in theparison between him and the giant spear. The giant spear forced him back with its force and continued to drill his sword. As he was forced back by it, Ajax smiled a little and swung his sword again. A sword wave that was bigger than any of his earlier swords appeared and forced the spear back. ''I concede. You win,'' the previous voice rung his head once again, saying him that he won. But Ajax didn''t know how he won yet, so he looked at the spear assuming that voice belonged to the spear. After the voice dered that Ajax won, the mighty spear stopped its attacks and released a bright speck of light from it. Seeing that light, Ajax almost drooled as he knew that it was theprehension orb into the spear dao. The light orb entered into him just like a small speck of light, and Ajax didn''t stop its actions and allowed it to enter. ''Ding, Aprehension orb of spear dao entered the host''s spirit consciousness. As soon as it entered into him, he got the system notification informing about the bright light that entered into him. However, he didn''t bother with it as he was in ecstasy from theprehension he gained into the spear dao. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forprehending the level 2 spear dao. The feeling of ecstasysted longer than earlier small specks ofprehension. Before he couldpletely absorb the orb, another system notification rung in his head that informed him entering into the level 2 spear dao. Moreover, he didn''t open his eyes as theprehension he absorbed was not more than half of the totalprehension orb. While he was concentrating on theprehension orb, the giant spear returned to its normal size and circle around the meditating Ajax like some pet animal and waited for Ajax to open his eyes. The level 2 spear dao in Ajax progressed rapidly and reached the mid-grade within few minutes. As the level of theprehension increased, the speed of his spear dao progression decreased. After some time, the spear dao stabilized at the peak of mid-grade level 2 spear, and Ajax opened his eyes slowly with bright eyes. "Finally, level 2 spear dao is achieved. Haha," Ajax startedughing and looked at the spear that was circling around him. ''Huh? Why it is behaving like a pet?'' He was surprised at how the spear was behaving and became speechless. Seeing him open his eyes, the transparent spear entered into him before he could dodge it. The enter spears looked for something as it wandered in his spirit consciousness form. ''Ding, A spear soul entered into the host''s spirit consciousness form. ''Ding, Do you want to store it? "Huh? A spear soul?" Ajax was puzzled at the word. Although from the word he had understood something, he wanted to know more about it. Such that he silently thought in his head so that system could answer him. ''Ding, When any weapon reached the legendary grade, there was a chance for that weapon to form its own consciousness. ''Ding, After it formed its own consciousness, if the weapon were to be destroyed, then the soul of that particr weapon woulde out of its broken body. "What?" Ajax was shocked at the words of the system. Chapter 203: Choosing Rewards

203 Choosing Rewards

"So, you are saying that this spear had reached the legendary grade?" Ajax asked with a question mark on his face, which also had a hint of shock on it. Just like artifacts, the weapons were also categorized into five grades. They were mortal, earth, heaven, legendary and Mythical. With mortal grade being the least powerful and mythical level was the more powerful. In Zrochester province, the appearance of heaven grade weapons would make a surprise as it was a very rare thing, and if it were a legendary grade weapon, a war would happen. In the entire history of Zrochester province, only once a legendary weapon appeared, which caused a bloody war that cost many lives. So, when he suddenly heard that the spear which entered into him reached a minimum of legendary grade, he was shocked and asked once again to confirm. ''Ding, Yes, it reached a minimum legendary grade in its peak form. ''Ding, Do you want to store it? After the system confirmed the grade, it once again asked Ajax. "Store it," Ajax confirmed to store the spear soul. Although he was not sure about its particr use, he guessed that he could use it on the bloodlust spear. As soon as he confirmed it, the spear soul in his spirit consciousness form was captured by some mysterious force and disappeared all of a sudden. ''Ding, The spear soul was sessfully captured and stored in the inventory. ''I should go out and check the particr use of it quickly,'' He wanted to check the uses of that spear soul but could not use the inventory feature when he was in the spirit consciousness form, so he thought to quickly exit his spirit consciousness. ''I expected my sword dao would reach level 2 first but spear dao overtook it,'' When he exited his spirit consciousness, Ajax thought about his sword dao that had peaked in level 1 and shook his head. Nevertheless, he was happy with the level 2 spear dao. "Congrattions boy, you have sessfully passed the trial, Keke." As soon as he came out of his spirit consciousness, Ajax heard the blurry human figure''s voice with his ghostlyugh. He already concluded that the never-returning cave was some kind of trial or inheritance ground when he was in his spirit consciousness and gained the rewards every time he destroyed a spear. He didn''t bother with the blurry figure and looked at Paulin, who was looking at him with a worried expression. Seeing him wake up, Paulin''s worried expression immediately turned into a happy as he already knew that Ajax gained something simr to what he gained, "Congrattions, Ajax," So he was very happy for him and came towards him while congratting him. "Thank you and congrattions to you too, senior brother," Ajax thank and wished him the same. Seeing them, congratting each other and talking some non-sense like they were in some park, the blurry human figure scoffed at them and came towards them. "Enough of your little chit-chat," the blurry figure shouted loudly. However, they simply nced at him and continued their discussions about the experiences in their spirit consciousness. "So, you want no rewards forpleting the trial," Since they were ignoring him, he used the word ''rewards'' to get their attention. As soon as they heard that, both Ajax and Paulin quickly turned their heads towards him without wasting any time. "Keke," the blurry human figure''s ghostlyugh resounded in the cave. "Do you not want to know about this trial?" afterughing for a moment, the blurry figure asked him with a mysterious voice. "Didn''t you say that you will say about all the things after weprehend the weapon markings on the wall?" instead of answering him, Ajax replied with a question of his own. "I will start, Keke," the blurry human figure didn''t act mysterious anymore and continued, "before that, I will show you a list of rewards pick anyone from the list." After he finished his words, two scrolls came out from the ck smoke that was surrounding the blurry human and hovered in front of Ajax and Paulin. "What in the world am I seeing?" Both Ajax and Paulin were shocked to see the rewards that were listed on the scroll. They were shocked because there were many valuable items in the list that would raise turmoil if the word gets out about these rewards. There were many martial techniques, weapons, pills, arrays, and many more. And what was more shocking was that all the items in the scroll were Heaven grade. Seeing the list of items in the scroll, they felt they want all, but ording to the blurry human figure, they could take only one. So they suppressed their shock and carefully looked at the item they needed more for their current self. "I want this," Soon, Paulin pointed at one of the rewards in the scroll and asked the blurry human figure. "Huh? So you want to be a Summoner?" the blurry human figure didn''t feel shocked nor surprised as he knew that bing a summoner was a dream of many. "However, there was no 100 percent guarantee that you could awaken your first official elemental spirit, Do you still want it?" the blurry human figure asked as he looked at Paulin to confirmed his reward. The reward Paulin chose was ''A chance to be an official summoner.'' So the blurry human figure asked and exined about the reward clearly. "Yes," Still, Paulin didn''t hesitate and nodded his head as he confirmed his reward. He didn''t hesitate to choose the chance to be a summoner because he didn''t want to regret his life thinking about it ever again in his life. "Even if there is only a 1 percent chance I would have still chosen the same reward," Paulin said while smiling at the blurry figure. "Why all the humans were like this. The previous participant also has chosen the same reward. Hey, brat what reward do you want?" the blurry human figure nodded his head Paulin and looked at Ajax to ask for his reward. "The previous participant choose the same reward? What was the result then?" Both Ajax and Paulin hurriedly asked the blurry figure about the result of the previous participant and were excited to know that. Chapter 204: Worst reward

204 Worst reward

They guessed that the previous participant was their Captain Edmond, so they were excited to know about the result of the reward. "Huh?" the blurry human figure looked at them with a frown and asked, "Why do you show interest in another person''s reward?" "Because we think, he is our Captain, Hehe," Ajaxughed as he replied. "That Esmond or Edmond guy is your Captain?" He asked as he thought for a moment. "Yes, his name is Edmond, not Esmond," Paulin replied to correct his Captain''s name. "Actually, he was the first one to surprise me in this Zrochester province before you. Not only did heplete the trial but he also became a summoner at the age of around 40," The blurry human figure nodded his head as he revealed about the previous participant in the trial. "What? Captain Edmond was summoner?" Both Ajax and Paulin were thunderstruck by the words of the Blurry human figure. Although Ajax stayed with the Hazegroove mercenary squad for only a few weeks, he didn''t expect that Edmond was a summoner. Even the system didn''t say about it. So he was startled by the fact the Edmond was a summoner all along this time. Paulin was taken aback by those words even more than Ajax as he stayed with Edmond for a few years now, and he still didn''t know it. "No need to worry. Although he became a summoner, he shouldn''t say to anybody about it until a specific time. Even if he wanted to say, he can''t say it, Keke," the ck smoke figure slowly came out, revealing his face clearly. He looked in histe twenties with a handsome face, an average build that was covered by a ck robe. There was no difference between him and an average human except for two horns that looked majestic, which added a devilish look to his handsome face. "Why can''t he say?" Although they were surprised by the handsome face that was just revealed, Ajax asked about his doubt. "Before taking a reward from me, there was vow you have to take in order to not reveal about anything this cave," the man with the majestic horns paused for a second and asked, "I know you have a doubt about why this trial can''t be announced to the outside world right?" "Why," Both of them asked with a confused expression on their faces. In general, the one who creates the trial wants to know about their existence to the outside world. So that many participants coulde andplete it. However, theplete opposite was happening here. So they asked to know why it was like that. "This trial is only for fated ones," the handsome man''s reply made them speechless. For any trial ground or inheritance ground, it would take many years or many decades to get someone to enter if they were unknown to the outside world. However, in this trial ground, the participant should not reveal anything about the cave by swearing a vow. Nevertheless, they stopped asking him any questions. Soon, Ajax found a reward that he thought was useful for him. "I want this," he pointed at the reward and asked the handsome man. "Do you really want that? ording to me, it was the worst reward among all those that were present in the list. Also, it was impossible for them to survive in Zrochester province. Even if they did, you would not be able to enjoy the fruits of yourbour, keke," the handsome man exined many disadvantages of the reward that Ajax chose. "But still, I want them," Ajax was very stubborn in choosing the same reward even after he heard about it. "Ok, here take this," the handsome man shook his head as he waved his hand. A small bag and a gourd came out of the ck smoke andnded in Ajax''s hands. "The small bag contains the seeds of 100 types of High-level alchemy herbs whereas the gourd contains 10 drops of water from the spring of life,"?he exined after giving Ajax his rewards. From the many items in the list, Ajax chose the reward ''Seeds of various high-level alchemy herbs and water from the spring of life that can be used to grow the seeds''. As soon as he saw the reward, he chose this reward immediately. For the time being, he did notck anything. For weapons, he had Bloodlust spear and the small inheritance sword. Cultivation techniques, spirit cultivation techniques, and he recently gained a sword technique, So he chose that reward. With that seeds, he could create his own pills in the future. However, the most important reason he chose that reward was to nt them in his inner world and get free passive essence of nature from the inner world. As for the disadvantages that the handsome man said, that was not a problem for him as he could make them survive in his inner world, and no one would know where he was cultivating the high-level nts. Since no one knows where he was cultivating the herbs, how could anyone attack him? He felt satisfied with the reward because he could quickly be a high-level alchemist with all the high-level herbs, which were impossible to grow in the Zrochester Province since these nts need high purity of essence of nature. Ajax quickly stored the two items into his inventory. After settling Ajax''s rewards, the handsome man turned towards Paulin to grant him his selected reward. "You have to stay strong and should endure the pain when we start the forceful dream awakening. You know the process to contract the elemental spirit, right?" he advised Paulin to stay strong and asked a question at the end of the sentence. "Yes," Paulin nodded his head. "Good. You will enter the elemental spirit world in your spirit consciousness form, try to find an elemental spirit within 3 hours for you enter; otherwise, your spirit consciousness will receive a serious bacsh. Do you understand what I am saying?" the handsome man exined about the process called Forceful dream awakening and the time limit for him to form a contract with an elemental spirit. "Now, let''s start," he ced his hands on Paulin''s head, who sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Chapter 205: Zaglanath

205 Zanath

As the handsome man was making Paulin an official summoner, Ajax looked at them for a moment before sitting cross-legged and checked his recently achieved level 2 spear dao. ''Ding, Weapon Dao:- Spear Dao (level 2) Type:-?Tornado Effect:- 1) a 30 percent increase in piercing power with all spear type attacks. 2) A 10 percent chance to stun an enemy for 3 seconds when the host pierces with a spear. Description:- Whenever the host uses a spear, it will gain a tornado effect, and the piercing power of that spear will increase by 30 percent. "Huh? An additional effect?" Ajax expected the piercing power of spear attacks would be increased with its level, but he didn''t expect that it would also give him an additional effect. ''Although it''s only 10 percent chance to stun, it''s better than not having any effect,'' Ajax thought that the effect was not too powerful nor too weak. ''System, Spear soul,'' after checking his spear dao, he asked the system about Spear soul. Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Item name:- Spear soul (Heaven''s destroyer spear) Grade:- At least legendary Use:- It can bebined with any strong spear. Note: If the spear is not strong enough to withhold the spear soul''s power, the weak spear will be destroyed. Effects:- A spear body is required for the effects. Please find a suitable spear body for the spear soul. Description:- An old spear that was destroyed in a great battle between humans and demons. ''As expected of a great spear that was participated in the great battle between the humans and demons,'' Ajax was excited as he read all the details about the spear soul. Everyone in the Zrochester province knows about the great battle between humans and demons, which was ended up in a draw before it came to a halt all of a sudden. No one knows why the battle ended abruptly after fighting for a few months. Nevertheless, it caused great losses on both sides. So, when Ajax saw the description of the Spear soul, which was awed by its history. ''Even its name is so Powerful name,'' The name Heaven''s destroyer spear sounded very powerful. When he saw the spear soul''s use, he wanted tobine it with his bloodlust spear, but he refrained from doing it as he was in a mysterious cave that he didn''t know anything about it. ''Once I am out of this cave, my first thing will be tobine this spear soul with the bloodlust spear,'' Ajax quickly nned his actions after leaving the cave. He also wanted to use his inner world, but fearing that the handsome would notice something, he didn''t dare use any of the system features and simply started observing his spear dao. Soon, 3 hours went by, and both the handsome man and Paulin opened their eyes. When Paulin opened his eyes, he brightly smiled as he achieved what he meant to aplish in his life. However, theplete opposite expression was present in the handsome man''s face. "Phew, this forceful summoning is tiring me out," the handsome man shook his head and released a long sigh. No one said anything, as they could guess how exhaustive it was to make someone a summoner and forcefully at that. "Senior brother Paulin, congrattions," Ajax didn''t ask whether he was sessful or not as he knew that thing was definitely sessful. "Haha, thanks to the demon man, I was able to form my first official elemental spirit," Paulin replied to Ajax, giving the handsome man full credit. "Demon man, since our rewards were given can you exin to us about this cave?" Ajax asked, turning his face to the handsome man. "Hm," he nodded his head and started his exnation, "This is one of many fated trial grounds that, I, Zanath created to spread the lost inheritances of humans back to the fated humans." "Huh?" Ajax and Paulin looked at the Demon man and surprised for a moment before Ajax asked, "Why are you helping humans?" Ajax didn''t understand why a demon was helping humans instead of helping his own kin. So he asked quickly. "Keke," the handsome man revealed his ghostly smile before saying, "It''s because I am a half-human and half-demon. But I was grown in human society by my mother side who protected me until herst breath," the initial ghostlyugh vanished, and sadness appeared in his voice when he said about her mother. His eyes moistened a little, but he quickly controlled his emotions. "Before she died I made a promise that I will help humans and not turn to the demon side," The handsome said, suppressing his earlier emotions. Ajax and Paulin looked at the handsome man who called himself ''Zanath'' with awe. Even though Zanath said only a few words, they could understand what he went through in his childhood. It was not an easy thing for a demon to survive in the human world. They could also assume what his mother went through to raise him. ''It must be very hard for her, right?'' Ajax thought in his head when he thought about Zanath''s mother. In the history of the Zrochester Province, there were many cases where demons invade some of the least powerful towns and wreak havoc. Killing men from those towns and impregnating the women with their seed was happened various times. Whenever it happened, those women who were impregnated would die due to the insufficient energy in their bodies for the young ones in them to grow. While some women live. Among those whoe out of their womb, 99 percent would be killed with hatred, and the remaining one percent were like Zanath''s mother, who protected and made him into a real human. So, both Ajax and Paulin developed a lot of respect for that woman. "Yes, it''s very difficult for her," Zanath said with a sigh. Ajax was shocked at Zanath''s words because Zanath replied to what he thought in his head. "After giving birth to me, she started growing weaker day by day. After a few years, it reached the point where she can''t even walk on her own," Zanath sighed and remembered his hazy childhood memories, but he could still remember some of them very clearly. Chapter 206: Returning from the Never-returning cave

206 Returning from the Never-returning cave

There were times, I hated humans to my core that I wanted to kill all of them for giving my mother a tough time," Zanath said in a cruel tone which made both of them shiver. "However, my mother was too soft and did not want to see me be a true demon and made me swear not to kill a human unless it necessary," the Zanath stopped sying until there. Ajax and Paulin didn''t say anything and just continued hearing his story. However, they were puzzled at the human deaths that entered the cave previously. "I know, what you are thinking. Those humans who had no intention of helping humans and full of greed couldn''tprehend the weapon markings, so I can''t help them, keke" Zanath revealed a ghostlyugh which made them shudder. "Since youpleted the trial andprehended the respective weapon dao, you were qualified to visit my other trial grounds which were situated in the Ylercester Province," he continued exining more about his trial grounds. "Huh? More trial grounds?" They were excited to hear Zanath''s words. However, their excitement disappeared when they thought about the energy barrier that was restricting the two provinces. "Yes, but don''t need to look that sad, there will be a time for you to go to other provinces, keke," the handsome man replied with his ghostlyugh. "How?" Paulin asked as he wanted to travel to other provinces to adventure. Ajax also looked at the handsome man for the reply to know more about it. "It''s ¡­.." As he was about to exin, the expression on the handsome man became serious. "I need to close this trial ground, you shouldn''t reveal anything about this cave to anyone; If anyone knows about me or this trial ground, then you should forget about living" Zanath hurriedly suggested them not to reveal anything about the cave and started disappearing from the cave. Amidst his disappearing, two small light balls came out of him and entered into Ajax and Paulin''s spirit consciousness. "If you enter the Ylercester Province, then that thing in your spirit consciousness will guide you to other trial grounds to continues your other trials," Before he disappeared, Zanath exined with a small smile on his face. "What? Why he was in such a hurry?" Although they were puzzled at him, their focus was on the light that was in their spirit consciousness. They were unable to sense anything from it. Even the system in Ajax''s head was unable to say anything about it. So they shook their heads and left that matter. "I think we need a lot of time to go to other provinces, hehe," Paulinughed and said to Ajax. "Yes," Ajax also agreed as he had two most important things to do in Zrochester Provine. Firstly, he had to find his friends. As soon as Zanath disappeared from the cave, the cave shook for a while before the weapon markings on the cave walls were entirely gone along with the barrier that obstructed their exit earlier. "We should leave now," Paulin said as he walked towards the exit. Ajax followed him without any saying anything. "What''s happening here?" As soon as they came out of the cave, they were shocked by the scenery outside the cave. Previously the area around the cave was entirely devoid of any life. There was not even a de of grass that was growing until half a mile radius around the cave. However, now it waspletely covered by the grass which was growing at a visible speed. "I guess, it has something to do with the disappearance of the never-returning cave," Paulin said looking at the grass that was stopped growing when they reached 30 centimeters in height. "Looks like it," Ajax agreed as he also thought the same about the sudden growth of grass. ''Corr'' Amidst their shock, they heard a bird cry from afar, which was rapidly flying at them. The white bird with huge wings quicklynded before them and hugged Paulin. "Senior brother Paulin, you spirit crane misses you a lot, Hahaha," Ajaxughed at the scene of spirit crane hugging Paulin. It was none other than the spirit crane that Paulin tamed before going into the never-returning cave. When they entered the cave, he left it outside to fly until they return back freely. So when it sensed its master came out of the cave, it hurriedly came to wee him. "What do you know?" Paulin proudly said as he caressed the soft features of the spirit crane. However, the next actions of the spirit crane shocked Paulin. The spirit crane that hugged Paulin released him from its embrace and stretched its wing as though it was asking him something. As for what it was asking, Ajax, and Paulin, both of them know. "Come on senior brother, show it your love by giving it some water spirit stones," Ajaxughed loudly and looked at his surroundings as he sensed some danger from the surroundings. "Dman it, you are bing greedy. Do you know that?" Paulin scolded the spirit crane at its shamelessness. Although he said that he took out some water spirit stones and gave it to his tamed spirit crane. After that, he looked at Ajax, who had a grim expression on his face as he checked their surroundings. "What happened Ajax? Is there something wrong?" Paulin asked Ajax, and he also checked their surroundings. However, he didn''t find anything, so he looked at Ajax for the reply. "I felt like we were watched by someone. Maybe I was wrong," Ajax replied Paulin about his earlier feeling. The reason he assumed like that was even the system didn''t alert him about anything. So he didn''t pay any heed to it. Every time there was a danger, the system would alert him or even give a mission rted to it. Since there was nothing from the system, he cared less about it. "Maybe you felt that changes that were happening sound the cave," Paulin also nodded his head as he was also unable to sense anything, so he concluded it with the changes around the never-returning cave. ''Ding, Mission:- The mystery behind the Never-returning cave is sessfullypleted. Chapter 207: Eldest brother Braylon

207 Eldest brother Braylon

''Ding, Congrattions to the host, fire and water dual elemental paradise is rewarded. ''Ding, Do you wish to build the dual elemental paradise in the inner world? ''Yes,'' As though he was expecting for the system notification, Ajax epted without any dy. The reason he epted the never-returning cave mission in the first ce was for this reward. So, he excitedly replied to the system. ''Ding, Construction of the fire and water dual elemental paradise is started. Remaining time to build:- 71 hours 59 minutes Soon he got another system notification informing about the construction. "72 hours? Okay, not a problem," he nodded his head as he thought 72 hours would be finished in a sh. ''However, I don''t have any water elemental spirits to use this dual elemental paradise to its fullest, sigh,'' Next, he thought about the dual elemental of the elemental paradise that system gave him and sighed. "Ajax, why are you sighing?" Paulin asked Ajax when he saw Ajax sigh all of a sudden. "Huh? Nothing senior brother Paulin," Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax shook his head and replied. "Okay. Since wepleted the never-returning cave mission, should we go for our other mission?" Paulin nodded his head and asked about their next mission. "Sure senior brother. But what should we say about the Never-returning cave when we submit the mission?" Although they know about the never-returning cave, what should they say about it in the mercenary guild? "Haha, we will simply say we never entered the never returning cave and how wants that 20000 spirit stones when we already got tremendous rewards from the cave," Paulinughed at Ajax and said his n about the never-returning cave. From the never-returning cave, they each got a weapon soul along with level 2 weapon dao. Also, not to mention the separate rewards they got from the Zanath. When they got these many rewards, why would they announce it to the world that would only make them targeted by all the top organisations? Ajax also didn''t want to get into any trouble and pretty much satisfied with the rewards which he got from the system and nodded his head. "Come let''s go and search for the spirit cheetah''sir," Paulin said as he climbed the spirit crane which was busy gulping the spirit stones. However, it didn''t mind as Paulin already promised that he would give more spirit stones after they get down from it. Soon Ajax also mounted the spirit crane and started searching for a possible location of the spirit cheetah''s liar. They moved outwards from the middle section and travelled towards the outer section. In reality, the mission of collecting an egg was not hard. The reason it was being assigned a ''B'' danger rating was due to the fact that the spirit cheetahs live in groups with most of the spirit cheetahs having rank 4 strength. Nevertheless, Ajax and Paulin wanted to try andplete the mission. With blood rushing fights, one could break through their limits and achieve higher strength. "Look, isn''t that the target we are looking?" As they were moving towards the outer section of the cursed wilderness, a group of 10 masked men saw the flying a spirit crane with two people sitting on it back which was pointed by one of them. "Good job, Zak. Come let''s get the target and impress the first elder, Haha," the eldest disciples of the first elder motivated is fellow disciples. "Yes, Eldest brother." All the disciples of the discipline hall nodded their heads. Without wasting any more time, the group of assassins ran in the direction of Ajax and Paulin. These bunch of disciples were very frustrated at not finding Ajax as they were searching for more than 12 hours, and when they saw their target came to them, they were excited and followed it. .... Ajax doesn''t know that some of the assassin sect disciples were following them as he continued to chat with Paulin rxedly. They were discussing the rewards they had gained in the never-returning cave as they search for the spirit cheetah''sir. "Look, senior brother, there are two spirit cheetahs there," Amidst their chat and search, Ajax found two spirit cheetahs that were focusing on their prey. "Let''s wait and follow them to theirir," Paulin suggested and looked at the spirit cheetahs to observe their strength. Among the two spirit cheetahs, one had the strength of a peak rank 3 spirit beast whereas the other one had low-level rank 4 strength. However, what surprised them most was the spirit cheetahs were eyeing a peak mid-level rank 4 spirit beast that looked like a bear. "Why is a Golden bear king lurking in the outer section of the cursed wilderness?" Paulin was surprised at the huge bear the looked like a huge boulder. Generally, a golden bear king lives in the middle section of the cursed wilderness as they have the strength greater than their original rank from their bloodline and a sturdy body. So, Paulin was surprised to see it in the outer section of the cursed wilderness. "Maybe it was injured in a fight," Ajax concluded looking at a single bloody on its abdomen. "Yes, that might be the case. What do you think should we do Ajax?" Paulin asked Ajax with a smile on his face. "Huh?" Ajax was puzzled at Paulin but said, "Let''s help it." The reason he said those words were not from the sympathy for the Golder bear king nor any hate towards the spirit cheetahs. It was merely to tame a powerful spirit beast like Golder bear king who had a powerful bloodline in it. For every spirit beast that had a king in their name, they would possess some kind of bloodline in their body that gives them some additional skills or effects. So, Ajax said to help the Golden bear king to kept it as his tamed spirit beast. "Hahaha, I know, you would say that. Let test our new Weapon Daos on those spirit cheetahs," Paulinughed and prepared to help the Golden bear king. However, he was not that reckless to openly enter into a fight between spirit beasts. So, they waited in the distance for the fight to start before they could help the Golden bear king. "Eldest brother, they stopped moving and flying at the same distance for a while now. Looks like they were doing something," one of the masked disciples who was following Ajax''s team said to his eldest brother. "Oh, good work Zak. Your scouting skills are really helping more and more recently, Haha," the eldest brother praised Zak for his skills andughed. "Thank you Eldest brother for your praise," the masked disciple who was called as Zak smiled sheepishly and felt proud. "What should we do now, eldest brother Braylon," another disciple from the ten-member squad asked the eldest brother with his name as though they were close. "Let''s wait for some time Erick, and see what they are nning. Then we will start our attack," Braylon, the eldest among all the ten members said to the masked disciple named, Erick. Although Ajax and Paulin were keeping an eye on the spirit beasts in front of him,?what they didn''t know was someone was already keeping their eyes on them and were ready to take their life. Chapter 208: Upgrading Elemental Paradise

208 Upgrading Elemental Paradise

The Golden bear king was resting peacefully under a tree without any fear from the spirit beasts in the outer section. As though it had epted its fate that it would die soon. Slowly it was feeling its consciousness was fading with each passing second. The spirit cheetahs that were in waiting became excited at the weak spirit beast in front of them. In the spirit beasts world, when non-bloodline spirit beasts consume a spirit beast with bloodline in its body, there would be a chance of mutation or gaining a small amount of purified bloodline. So, the two spirit cheetahs were clearly excited. ''Roar roar.'' After waiting for a few moments, the two spirit cheetahs jumped at the golden bear king while roaring at it. Although it was the stupidest thing to do when they were getting a free spirit beast body with a bloodline, most spirit beasts don''t like to eat a spirit beast that was killed by others. Moreover, they wanted to kill that Golden bear king with their ws. Even though the Golden bear king was weakened a lot, it easily sensed the presence of two spirit cheetahs long ago. But it was not bothered by them as it doesn''t have any strength to move from its position. Seeing the spirit cheetahs that wereing to it, it waited for them toe near it and simply waved its huge bear paw. Among the two spirit cheetahs, one was unable to dodge the huge paw and knocked away a few meters. As for the other spirit cheetah, it sessfully dodged the paw and bit on its wound. ''ROARRR'' Feeling the pain from the bite, the golden bear king roared loudly that made the surrounding spirit beasts shiver. "Eldest brother, what is it? Just that roar alone is making me shiver" one of the masked disciples asked hearing the roar from afar. "Even I felt some fear hearing the roar of that spirit beasts. I think that spirit beast was on itsst leg. Shall we try to kill it?" the eldest brother, Braylon said in a cunning smile. "If the eldest brother is with us we can even take a rank 5 spirit beast. I think the roar we just head was from the Golden bear king," Zak with his top scouting skills about to find the spirit beast. "Really? Then we should not miss the chance to kill it," Erick, the second strongest in the team said excitedly and continued, "What is its strength." "We are very far from the golden bear king, so I am unable to say it''s exact strength. However, it has less than rank 5 strength, so we can overwhelm with numbers and take it down," Zak exined everything he saw to the rest of the team. "Okay then, let''s take it down after we kill our target," Braylon said after thinking for a moment. "Yes, let''s kill that Ajax brat and next focus on the Golden bear king," the rest of the squad agreed to Braylon''s suggestion. "Ajax, let''s do this," As soon as he said that Paulin rushed towards the fight between the spirit beasts while jumping from the spirit crane. However, Ajax didn''t move as he was thinking about the wound on the golden bear king and how to heal it. He couldn''t use his life elemental spirit ''Spirus'' openly in front of Paulin, and even if he did,?he had a feeling that Spirus'' healing skills would not be able to heal the golden bear king. ''System, can water from the spring of life save the life of living beings?'' Suddenly he thought about something and asked the System. ''Ding, Yes, But the System suggests the host not to use the spring of life directly. "Huh?" Ajax was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Why?" ''Ding, A single drop of water from the spring of life contains an enormous life elemental energy. If the host used it directly on anyone, they would explode from the life energy from the spring of life. "So, should I dilute it?" Ajax asked after knowing the shocking fact of the spring of life''s water. ''Ding, Use the ten drops of spiring of life to upgrade the mini lightning elemental paradise. The System sent another notification suggesting to improve the mini-lightning elemental paradise. "What are the benefits I get after I upgrade it with all the spring of life water?" Ajax asked as he didn''t want to waste his reward without knowing. ''Ding, The host doesn''t have the permissions to know the upgrade effects before knowing them. ''Ding, However, the host would definitely like the upgrade. "Okay then, but I don''t have time to wait for very long. Also, there are already Snow and Cerauno, who were cultivating in it. Doesn''t the upgrade affect them?" Ajax agreed after the System''s words on the holographic screen. But he said that he didn''t have any time as he thought it would take a long time for the up-gradation of the mini-lightning pool and also aked about the Snow and Cerauno. ''Ding, The upgrade doesn''t affect them. Instead, they will receive a boost in their cultivation speed with the upgrade. ''Ding, As soon as the host upgrades the lightning elemental paradise, he could use the water from it immediately. "Okay, do it," Ajax thought it was a good deal to improve the elemental paradise in return for the overpowered water of spring of life. ''Ding, Consuming the ten drops of spring of life''s water. ''Ding, Wait for a few seconds¡­.. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for upgrading the Mini-lightning pool. ''Ding, Please check the inner world for more details. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised and muttered, "Done already?" Even though the System said it would not take time, Ajax believed that it would take at least a few minutes. However, the upgrade waspleted in a few seconds. ''Let''s check the upgraded effects of the lightning elemental paradise,'' Ajax thought. Just as he was about to check it, a shadow came at him from the ground with two sharp daggers in his hands. Without wasting any time, he forced the spirit crane to dodge the iing attack and ordered it tond on the ground. So, the spirit cranended Ajax on the ground and escaped without looking back. "What the ..," Ajax was speechless at the spirit crane, but he didn''t pay any heed to it as many shadows wereing at him from various directions. Chapter 209: Erick

209 Erick

"Eldest brother Braylon, he is alone. Just let me finish this mission," the second strongest masked disciple from the ten-member unit asked Braylon. "Okay. But don''t y with him too long we have another mission to finish," Braylon nodded his head and agreed to Erick''s suggestion. "Thank you," Erick excitedly ran towards Ajax in an intent to slowly kill him unlike killing him in a single strike. Although Erick had the strength of the peak level 10 elitemander realm strength, he doesn''t want to kill anyone with a single sh; instead, he liked ying with his targets. So, Braylon already advised him not to y long and finish it soon. Nevertheless, Erick had some psychopathic mentality that ying with the weak targets until they beg him to kill them. ''They look like disciples from the assassin sect,'' Ajax eyes turned bloodshed just thinking about that name. ''I didn''t even settle my previous grudges with you but you are making me even angry with your assassinations,'' With each passing second, he was turning insane slowly. ''Calm down, think before you act. Don''t let your revenge control you. You control it,'' As he was bing bloodthirsty for revenge, a familiar voice sounded in his head, turning him into a sane person. ''Offffuu,'' Ajax finally calmed down after hearing the familiar old voice and thanked it, but as usual, there was no reply from it. As he turned back into a sane person, he observed that all the shadows stopped moving except for one shadow, who was still rushing towards him. ''Ding, Name:- Errick Strength:- Peak level 10 elitemander realm soldier. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see the strength of the iing assassin as he didn''t expect that the assassin sect would send someone this powerful to kill amander realm cultivator. He quickly became alert and turned around to escape without hesitation. He used his level 2 cloud steps and ran towards Paulin, who was fighting the spirit cheetahs. "What the heck?" Erick, who was rushing towards him was shocked that amander realm soldier''s speed was that fast. However, he was not dejected at the fleeing Ajax; instead; he became excited as he felt great inside him and increased his speed to follow Ajax. "Eldest brother, that boy starting running after seeing Erick. I think Erick wants to y this long. I suggest we go and kill that Golden bear king," Zak suggested Braylon tot kill the bear. "You want its bloodline to breakthrough to the general realm, right? Sure,"?Braylon nodded his head and continued, "However, I feel uncertain leaving a top mission in the hands of that Pyscho Erick." "You two keep an eye on the Erick and Ajax. Rest of you follow me," Braylon ordered two masked disciples as a back for Erick and left with the rest of the masked disciples. And the most powerful one among them, their leader, Braylon with the level 1 general realm strength. So, Braylon thought, one peak level 10 elitemander and two level 10 elitemanders were enough to deal a level 4mander realm kid. ''I should alert senior brother Paulin quickly,'' Ajax thought as he ran towards Paulin. Amidst his running, he slowly summoned his two strongest elemental spirits, who came out from the inner world in their human forms. Soon, a demonic young man and a middle-aged man appeared in the distance as per his orders and secretly followed Ajax. A demonic young man was the human form of Necros whereas the other one was Volcanis with a sword in his hand. After cultivating for the past few days in the level 2 elemental paradise Necros had multiple breakthroughs and reached the peak level 10 of the Elemental spiritmander realm. As for Volcanis, who didn''t have any cultivation paradise only broke through to level 8 of the elemental spiritmander. ''Not bad, not bad,'' Ajax nodded his head after checking their cultivation with a simple nce. ''However, it''s still difficult to defeat him,'' Ajax sighed as he continued muttering, ''Only if Darbaudres here on time, then I don''t have to worry about these bunch of assassins.'' The first thing he did after he started his running was to contact his first follower, the Barbarian hunter Darbaudr to his rescue. After he finished his official contract, his spirit cultivation was unlocked to elemental spiritmander and brought him an upgrade in some of his skills and a new skill that rted to spirit cultivation which he thought was not much use before, but now he knew the true value of that skill. The new skill was spirit contact. As long as he ced his spirit mark on anyone, he could contact them from any distance he wants. However, there was a condition that it couldn''t be used if he was trapped in some kind of barrier. ''But I think, he will take at least a few hours toe here. I should run towards the exit of the Cursed wilderness in order to minimize the distance between us,'' Ajax nned as he ran towards Paulin. "Senior brother Paulin, let''s run," Soon he reached Paulin and alerted him. Before Paulin could know what was happening, Ajax caught him and dragged Paulin along with him towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. Paulin was ready to fight the spirit cheetahs didn''t understand anything but started running with Ajax. "Ajax, what is happening?" as he ran, Paulin asked Ajax. "That damn assassin sect is trying to assassinate me once again," Ajax slowly said while signalling Volcanis and Necros to maintain some distance, so that Paulin could not see them. Although they were in human form, Ajax still wanted them to remain in the shadows. "Again?" Paulin raised his brows as he asked coldly. "Yes, senior brother, previously when I ...," Ajax started exining all the events that happened when he came out for his first solo mission except some things which he thought were not necessary. "Those damn sects," After hearing everything, Paulin felt his blood boiling with anger. All of a sudden, he stopped and turned around to face the iing assassin. "Senior brother Paulin,?what are you doing?" There was still some distance between them and the iing assassin, so Ajax stopped and asked Paulin anxiously. Chapter 210: Paulins true skill

210 Paulin''s true skill

"You run Ajax, I will cover for you," Even though his voice was cold, there was still a smile on Paulin''s face when he said those words to Ajax. Ajax felt something in his heart when he heard those words. ''Isn''t it the scenario where I acted like him for my friends and wanted to sacrifice my life,'' he felt warm in his heart thinking back to the same scene which happened a few months. ''However, here someone was willing to give up their life for me,'' Ajax stopped asking Paulin any questions and stood beside him as though he was ready to face the enemy. Ajax knew that Paulin would not back down now, so he wanted to help his senior brother that he met only a few months back and became more like a blood brother. ''If I used all my trumps cards, I can definitely defeat him alone,'' Previously Ajax didn''t bother to use his trumps cards because he knew that there were many shadows at that time. However, now he only sensed one masked disciple of the assassin sect. "Yor leave Ajax, I will kill him and meet up with you soon," When he saw that Ajax also stopped running and wanted to fight beside him, he smiled a little and said. "No, senior brother Paulin, you and I will take him out before we run once again. What do you say?" Ajax asked with a big smile on his face making Paulin also smile. "Sure, let''s kill this assassin sect b*stard," Paulin didn''t say Ajax to run any longer as he also knew what kind of person Ajax was and he would not kill him even if he said. "Hahaha, What happened? Why stopped all of a sudden?" Erickughed as he looked at Ajax and Paulin, who stood in a fighting stance. "Can''t you run some more?" Erick asked them before continuing, "No problem, I will finish you quickly and join my team, Hahaha." As soon as he finished his words, heughed loudly and rushed at them. "Ajax, summon your elemental spirit," Paulin said to Ajax before summoning his elemental spirit, cious. Ajax also summoned his earth elemental spirit, it who had recently broken through to the level 4 elemental spiritmander. As soon as the two elemental spirits appeared beside them, they used their defensive skills to block the iing assassin attack. it used level 3 Earth shield whereas cious used his level 2 Water/ice shield. When Erick saw the elemental spirits, he was a little surprised. ording to the information they got, he already knew that they had elemental spirits, but there was no information about the strength of Elemental spirits. So when he saw the elemental spiritmander level elemental spirits, he was surprised. "Defending my attack with the elemental spiritmander realm strength? Hahaha" Nevertheless, he was not worried about them as he rushed at them whileughing. ''Boom'' ''Thud'' ''What a powerful skill,'' Erick stood up from the ground and startedughing, looking at the level 3 Earth shield that sted him away. "Ajax, cover me," Paulin asked Ajax and made some mysterious signs with his fingers and touched Ajax and others before running towards Erick. As soon as Paulin touched him, Ajax felt a mysterious power was building inside him, and his strength increased one minor realm after another with insane speed. Not only his strength but it''s strength also increased at a visible speed. It only took a few seconds before his increment in the strength stopped along with it and others. Soon, he checked his strength which had stopped at the peak level 10mander realm along with it who also had the same cultivation level as him. As for Paulin and cious'' strengths, they were sessfully broken through to the elitemander realm. ''So, he went easy on me in the weekly spar,'' he was shocked at the trump card of Paulin which could boost not only his own strength but also others. When he saw the increments in Ajax and others, Erick felt fear in his heart. However, when the increment stopped so quickly, he felt relieved. "So, Hawkpelt family is still alive. Your head will give me another reward, Hahaha" Erick said withughter as he looked at Paulin. "For that, you should get out of here alive," Paulin took the sword from cious and rushed at Erick with his boosted elitemander realm strength. "You are overestimating yourself Hawkfelt boy," Erick became angry. The reason for his anger was until now there was not a single prey, he chose tried to attack him. However, now his prey not only stopped running but also attacking him. "sh" Paulin didn''t bother with his words and continued rushing at him and shed with the transparent sword in his hand. Erick casually stopped the iing sword with his dagger. "Crack" A crack appeared on the dagger before it shattered into pieces. "Huh?" the assassin quickly dodged?when he saw the sword shattered his daggers with ease and said, "A level 2 sword dao?" He quickly found how his sword could exhibit an abnormal strength and even broke his dagger. Only a weapon dao could destroy another weapon which had greater strength than itself. ''Interesting, very interesting,'' the previous anger tuned into excitement as he saw his prey was stronger than he thought. However, Paulin didn''t give any time and rushed at him with his sword shing. He acted this way because the boost could onlyst for some time, so he wanted to finish the fight quickly. Erick didn''t attack Paulin as he wanted to see the despair in his eyes before killing him. ''I will let you attack and feel the despair, hehe,'' Erickughed cunningly as his usual. Whenever he kills his prey or target, he would make them feel utter despair and then kill them. Now he wanted to use the same method despite his Eldest brother warning. ''Puchi,'' As he continued dodging one sword sh another, he was unable to dodge one attack which was pierced through his hand. ''Spins'' ''Aaargh'' Paulin spun the pierced sword, which made Erick feel even more pain that made him shout loudly. "You pest, I will kill you," Erick''s excitement again turned into anger as he took out a dagger from his space ring, which was giving a dazzling light. Chapter 211: Beast Transformation

211 Beast Transformation

"Hahaha" In return to Erick''s anger, Paulinughed loudly looking at the injured assassin. "Thanks Ajax for your help," Paulin turned to Ajax and thanked him. When Paulin and Erick were fighting, Ajax was not standing idle, but he was helping Paulin by ordering it to create sand dunes to distract Erick. After repeated sand dunes, Erick was finally distracted by a sand dune, and at that particr time, Paulin pierced his sword into Erick''s hand. "No problem," Ajax replied with a smile and looked at the angry Erick who took out a dazzling dagger. ''Ding, Item name:- Killer dagger Grade:-????Peak earth grade Soon, he got the system notification about the dagger in Erick''s hands. "Senior brother, be careful with that dagger," Ajax alert Paulin about the dagger. Paulin nodded his head and looked at Erick. "Now, die," Erick didn''t waste any time as he rushed at Paulin to kill. Now, he didn''t want to y with him anymore and wanted to finish him quickly. "Come," Paulin also didn''t back down as he rushed at him with the sword in his hands. Even though Paulin didn''t have full confidence in killing Erick, he felt he had a small chance of winning if he ys his cards right. So he didn''t back down. ''I should help him,'' Ajax felt uneasy when he saw Paulin rushing at Erick and thought about helping him. ''Necros, use your confuse ray when Erick attacks Paulin, do you understand?'' Ajax suddenly thought of an idea and ordered Necros. ''Yes, summoning master,'' Necros replied. ''Vocanis, be ready to help in anything uncertain happens,'' Next, he ordered Volcanis. Volcanic nodded his head in agreement. "Come on it," Ajax ordered it to follow him to attack Erick. As soon as he heard Ajax''s order, it used histest skill, Earth Clone, and rushed after Ajax. "Finally, it''s time to use the strength potion," Ajax took out the level 1 strength potion which he thought would be enough for facing Erick. ''Crack'' ''Gulp'' He quickly broke the top of the bottle and gulped the entire strength potion. As soon as the strength potion entered into him, he felt a burning sensation, and it spread all over his body, making him feel light and sharp pain which subsided after a few seconds. After the pain subsided, his strength started to rise once again. ''Kacha'' His strength increment to the general realm took a few seconds, and finally, he entered into the Elitemander realm. After that, his breakthroughs became easy and fast as he reached level 5 of the elitemander realm. "Huh? Good," Ajax was shocked at the increment and felt satisfied as he rushed at Erick. ''Puchi'' When Paulin shed his sword with level 2 sword dao, the sword cut his hand just like tofu. There was no resistance from Erick''s body when he cut through his hand. ''Aaargh'' Aftering out of his daze, Erick loudly shouted as he felt great pain when his hand was detached from his body. ¡­.. Some distance away from the fight, "Eldest brother, that Pysho started his usual painful screams once again," Zak said to the Eldest brother with a small smile on his face. "He is bing more and more savagetely," Braylon shook his head at his youngest brother. "Let him do his thing, we will do ours," Braylon said to other masked disciples after shaking his head. "Yes, Eldest brother, However, two spirit cheetahs are trying to hunt a golden bear king. It''s funny to watch, right?" one of the masked disciples said with a cunning smile. "You mean that dead spirit cheetahs?" Braylon pointed his fingers to the minced spirit cheetahs bodies beside the golden bear king and said. "What?" The masked disciple who was talking before got shocked by the scene he saw in front of him. The two spirit cheetahs that were very aggressive earlier were mmed to death by the golden bear king and became t. Whereas the golden bear king was resting on the ground with a weak look on its face. "Don''t underestimate a near-death spirit beast, Haha" the Eldest brother, Braylon advised his teammates. "Yes, Eldest brother," All of the masked disciples nodded their heads. "Now, let''s move and finish this golden bear king with our usual strategy," Braylon ordered as he moved towards the mid-level rank 4 spirit beast. Soon, all the masked disciples rushed behind Braylon. ¡­.. The two shadows that were following Erick reached the area where the fighting was going on between Erick and Paulin. "Is it necessary for us to go and save him. Let that b*stard die, then we will finish them," one of the masked disciples said to another one. "Let him suffer some time and use all his trump cards, then we will save him, hehe" theter masked disciple replied, seeing the injured Erick who was howling in pain. "Hahaha," The first masked discipleughed in reply. Although they were from the same hall and in the same team, there was always some friction among them. Erick was the one who had many arguments with his fellow teammates that made the other teammates take revenge on him someday. Finally, the day came where he was suffering, and they were enjoying it. Nevertheless, they didn''t want him to die as they were his back-up. If he were to die, then they would be punished by the sect. So they just wanted to let him suffer for some time. ¡­.. "Aaargh" "Damn you brats, I will... I will....," Erect became very angry that he was unable to continue his sentence. He suddenly stopped for a moment and calmed himself. After calming himself, he closed his eyes and muttered something. Soon his body started bing bigger, and hair started to grow all over his body. "What the hell!" Ajax stopped his rushing and shouted, looking at the human transforming into a beast. Paulin also jumped backwards increasing the distance between him and the Erick and observed the beast. A new hand came out of the previously missing hand, but the new hand matched the growing beast body. "Hahaha, now I will tear you into pieces before eating you," Erick''s body grew to 4 meters before stopping. Moreover, he said to Ajax and Paulin that he would tear them into pieces whileughing at them. Chapter 212: Hope

212 Hope

"What is that technique?" one of the two masked disciples asked the other one. "Don''t know. But it sure looks powerful," Theter one replied. After that, they didn''t talk anything and simply observed their vice-captain of the team. ¡­. As soon as he transformed into a 4-meter monster, Erick rushed at the Paulin and Ajax to tear them into pieces. Ajax and Paulin looked at each other first and nodded their heads and rushed towards the iing monster. Paulin saw Ajax drink some potion, and after that, his strength increased tremendously, so he quickly rted the potion to the strength potion. However, he was surprised to see the increment in Ajax''s strength. A normal strength potion would not increase the strength of the consumer by that many realms, only a high level one could increase that much strength. So, he was wondering from where did Ajax get that high-level strength potion. But, he didn''t think much about it as there was a much bigger problem right now. Behind paulin, his elemental spirit, cious also rushed just like it who was running behind Ajax to attack the monster. Ajax didn''t use his Abyssal bloodline as he wanted to see whether his present skills were sufficient to kill the beast transformed from the human. Moreover, he doesn''t want to use the bloodline for every simple fight as it may turn insane from overusing the Abyssal bloodline. Nevertheless, he wanted to use it only it was of utmost importance. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon they reached the beast and attacked it from either side. Ajax took the left side, whereas Paulin took the right side of the beast. ''nk'' Even though the beast was four meters in height, it''s speed was very fast as it was easily able to defend from Ajax and Paulin''s attack. "Its body is very tough," Paulin said seriously after dodging the beast''s hand. After attacking for some time, they finally saw a problem as they were unable to make any wounds on the beast. "Hahaha, After transforming into a beast, I may not be able to use any of my skills but my body bes more sturdy and tough. Normals weapon can''t do any damage to mu beast body," Erickughed as he waved his hands to attack Paulin and Ajax. "Really, let''s see," Ajax stopped for a moment before taking out his bloodlust spear from the inventory. "Huh??So, is the red spear a heaven grade weapon, Haha" Erick looked at Ajax in surprise for a moment, but after seeing the spear in his hand, he startedughing. "Huh?" Ajax was puzzled at the beast before looking at the red spear in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Bloodlust spear Grade:-????Low-level Heaven grade With the bloodlust spear in his hands, Ajax felt something he never felt before. ''It''s like the spear is the extension of my hand,'' Ajax like the feeling and rushed at the beast which was stillughing at him for taking out the bloodlust spear. When Erick, who was in the beast form saw that Ajax was running at him with the red spear, he had a mocking expression on his beast face as though he didn''t believe that the spear was powerful. Still, he didn''t take it lightly. He used his sturdy hand to catch Ajax, but he was unable to catch the Ajax who was using his level 2 cloud steps. Ajax dodged all the attacks of the beast and reached very close to it and pierced the beast in the chest with his bloodlust spear. He didn''t forget to use his level 2 spear dao that could increase his piercing power by 30 percent. As soon as the spear touched the chest of the beast, the spear started prating slowly into its chest. ''m'' ''Thud'' However, before it could go any deeper, the beast waved its hand and mmed Ajax into a tree. ''Cough cough.'' Ajax stood up form the ground and coughed a mouthful of blood. "Ajax, are you okay?" Paulin asked Ajax worriedly. Although he was surprised by every action of the Ajax, he got used to it by now and didn''t ask anything to Ajax. Nevertheless, he still cared for Ajax and asked about his health when he saw him coughing blood. "I am good. Senior brother, could you manage him for some time alone?" Ajax asked Paulin after wiping his blood from his chin. "Sure," After saying that Paulin turned toward Erick and started attacking him along with cious and it. "Necros, continue to help the senior brother Paulin from the shadows and Volcanis, ready to show yourself if he is any danger," Ajax ordered his elemental spirits who were hiding in the distance. "Yes, summoning master," they both replied to their spirit contract. ''System, use the level-up energy orbs,'' After giving all his orders, he asked the system to use the energy orbs to increase his cultivation. He didn''t want to waste any more time and wanted to increase his cultivation even more before using the Abyssal bloodline. Even though Abyssal bloodline could increase the levels of all the elemental spirits and spirit beasts, he was contracted with; he felt that they would be no use against that sturdy beast. So, he chose this route to increase his strength quickly. ''Ding, The host can''t use the energy orbs presently. "What? Why can''t I use it?" Ajax was shocked and hurriedly asked as he saw that Paulin was barely managing himself against the 4-meter beast. ''Ding, Since the host is under two boosts already, its impossible to use any energy orbs to increase his cultivation. "Damn it," Ajax cursed himself for overestimating himself and was losing hope. ''Master, I just entered into the cursed Abyss. Please hang in there. I will reach soon,'' Just as he was about to lose his hope, he heard his first follower''s voice and became excited. Along with the hope, he got another idea which made him even more excited. ''If this bloodlust spear was a little more powerful, along with my spear dao, I can easily kill that beast before my two strength boosts disappear,'' Ajax thought about the reason why his bloodlust spear was unable to pierce the body of the beast earlier. So he got an idea of increasing the grade of the spear so that he could kill the beast. Chapter 213: Using the Spear soul

213 Using the Spear soul

''System, spear soul,'' Ajax silently thought in his mind. ''Ding, Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him with a spear soul icon on it along with its details. Ajax''s hope began rising after seeing his information about the spear soul. ''System, use it andbine with the Bloodlust spear,'' After seeing for a moment, Ajax asked the system to use the spear soul. ''Ding, Combing the spear soul with the Bloodlust spear. ''Ding, The integration of the spear soul with the bloodlust spear will bepleted in a few seconds. Please wait. Ajax nodded his head and waited for a few seconds before he got another system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host. The process ofbining the spear soul and the bloodlust spear ispleted sessfully. ''Ding, Please check the details in the weapons section. Ajax quickly opened the user interface and focused on the weapons section to know more about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Heaven''s destroyer bloodlust spear. Grade:-????Mid-level heaven grade. Special skills:- 1) Heaven''s destroyer form:- When the spear is in this form, it''s grade will be increased to peak-level heaven grade. All the attacks will receive a 20 percent boost for 5 min, and host can control the movements of the spear with a thought in a limited distance. Cooldown time:- 1 hour 2) Bloodlust spear form:- No change in the grade. All the attacks in this form will be increased by 10 percent. Cooldown time:- None (At present) Note:- The percentage of attack power can be increased by absorbing the blood of high-level cultivators or beings. Description:- A powerful spear soulbined with the bloodlust spear that increased the overall abilities of the bloodlust spear. "What the ¡­," Ajax was bbergasted at the information of the upgraded bloodlust spear. However, he was very excited, looking at only two special skills he got from the upgrade. "So, all my spear attacks have a 10 percent increase all the time. Hahaha," Ajaxughed as he thought, "Whereas the heaven''s destroyer form could be used in case of emergencies?like this." ''Aarggh'' As he was thinking about his two special forms of the spear, he heard the painful voice Paulin and came out of his thoughts. He saw that the beast finally caught paulin after continuously dodging his attacks. As soon as he saw that, Ajax quickly drank some water from the upgraded lightning elemental paradise to recover his wounds. But he didn''t wait for the wounds topletely recover as he rushed at the beast with his newly upgraded bloodlust spear. ''Heaven''s destroyer form,'' ''I have to finish the fight quickly,'' With this thought in his mind, Ajax threw his spear using his level 2 spear dao at the 4-meter high beast. ''Swoosh'' When he saw the iing spear, Erick, who was in the beast form felt some kind of fear and hurriedly tried to dodge it. Previously when he was pierced by it, it went 2-3 inches into his chest. However, the spear that wasing towards him now lookedpletely different and looked even more powerful than before, which made him terrified. So without any hesitation, he released Paulin and tried to dodge the iing spear. ''Thud,'' The beast jumped aside and heaved a sigh of relief as he was not in that spears way. ''Hehe,'' When he saw how that beast dodged his Heaven''s destroyer spear, Ajaxughed cunningly and made a simple sign of turning with his hand. ''Turns'' ''Swoosh'' The shining white spear turned its direction, and with a ''Swoosh'' it pierced into him. "What? But how did th¡­," Before he could finish his words, Erick, with his huge beast body fell onto the ground. "Wow, it''s damn powerful," seeing the powerful Heaven''s destroyer form, Ajax was excited and felt proud as he finally won the fight. ''Ding, The host killed a peak elitemander realm cultivator with a highly purified bloodline. ''Ding, 2000 units of the essence of nature are gained and stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, A special item was extracted from the body of the beast that the host had just killed and stored in the inventory. Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with a series of system notifications, but he didn''t check them as he went towards Paulin was on the ground with many injuries on his body. "Senior brother Paulin, drink this," without wasting any time, he quicked took out some water from the upgraded thunder pool and poured into Paulin''s mouth and sprinkled some drops on his injuries. After doing that he waited for some time to let the effect from the water to take action. Within a few minutes, all the injuries on his body recovered with a visible speed. Soon, Paulin''s breathing became normal, and heart rate also turned normal. Only then, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. .... In the distance, the two masked disciples were shocked by the events that happened a few moments earlier. "Is it real or am I dreaming?" asked a masked disciple as he still kept his eyes on the dead body of the beast. "You are asking me. Whom should I ask?" theter masked disciple pinched himself to check whether it was real or a dream. "Ouch. Damn, it''s real," When he felt the pain from the pinch the masked disciple shouted and hit the disciple beside him. ''p'' "Ouch. Why did you hit me?" The one who received a p on the head retorted in pain. "Stopining. Let''s simply assassinate them, instead of directly killing them," the masked disciple said and nned an assassination instead of direct attack. Even though he had the cultivation of the level 10 elitemander realm, he didn''t want to be like his vice-captain who was more powerful than them. "But, that spear.." the other masked disciple pointed to the spear that was still in the dead body of their vice-captain and hesitated. "I think there is a limit to him being using that weapon. Let''s wait for sometime before killing them," the masked disciple that nned to assassinate Ajax and Paulin nodded his head and said his thoughts about the spear and observed the shining spear. Soon, that spear turned from shinning white to blood red. "Brother, I think, now is the time to assassinate them, Hehe." The masked disciple looked at the blood-red spear and said to his fellow teammate. Chapter 214: Sneak Attack

214 Sneak Attack

When the assassin sect disciples saw the blood-red spear, they didn''t felt any powerful presence which they felt form the shinning spear. So, they immediately took action to assassinate. ''Once I kill them, I will kill this junior brother of mine and take that heaven grade spear to myself, hehe,'' the one who nned the assassination became greedy and wanted to silence his brother from the same sect for a heaven grade weapon. .... As for Ajax, he was oblivious about the two assassins who wanted to assassinate him whereas Paulin was still unconscious. cious, the contracted elemental spirit was also injured severely, so it went into Paulin''s spirit consciousness when Ajax suggested it. Behind Ajax, it was looking at his surroundings for any sudden attacks from any spirit beasts. Soon, two silhouettes came from a distance and stood in front of Ajax. One silhouette was a middle-aged man, whereas another one belongs to a young man. "Sorry, summoning master," As soon as they came, they bowed and apologised to Ajax as they were powerless against a peak elitemander realm cultivator and not useful in the fight. "No, I was the one who ordered you not to show yourselves in front of others. Anyway, the enemy was too powerful, and we barely manage to survive this time." Ajax quickly ordered them to stand up as he shook his head. He already knew that his summoning spirits were not able to defeat Erick in a direct confrontation, so he ordered Necros to use hs confuse ray and Volcanis to use his boosting skills to save Paulin. When Paulin was caught by the beast earlier, Volcanis was ready toe out of the shadows, but Ajax stopped him as he already decided to use Heaven''s destroyer spear from against the beast, so Volcanis didn''te out earlier. "Keep guarding the surroundings," Ajax ordered them and sat beside Paulin. ''Swoosh'' ''Swipe'' ''Thud'' Just as he wanted to rx, a masked figure appeared behind Ajax and sliced at him. Before the masked figure could finish his attack, a figure came out of the ground and stopped the attack. However, the masked figure''s attack was very powerful that the figure from the ground was easily cut by him and fell to the ground before disappearing. ''What?'' The masked figure that attacked Ajax was shocked at the sudden appearance of an undead figure in front of his target. The masked figure was none other than the assassin sect disciple who came to assassinate Ajax on his brother''s n. The figure that came out of the ground was the summon of Necros, which had the same strength of him. I.e., Peak level 10mander realm. Since the masked disciple had the cultivation of level 10 elitemander realm, he was easily able to kill the undead summon, but still, the shock was apparent on his face. But the masked disciple''s quick assassination attempt was disrupted by Volcanis this time. Before the masked figure''s attack could reach Ajax, Volcanis used his powerful skill ''inferno'' boosted by his passive skill ''King of fire'' and directly mmed into the shadow. The masked disciple was mainly concentrated on Ajax, so he was unable to defend himself against Volcanis'' attack and was knocked back. ''Who is he? Even though his cultivation is only at themander realm, he was able to knock me back. If he had the strength of an elitemander realm, then I am definitely not a match for him,'' When he saw the Volcanis''s powerful attack, he felt fear and thought in his head. "You have some powerful reinforcements kid. But still, you should get at least get an elitemander realm cultivator to stop my attacks, Haha." The masked discipleughed loudly. Although Vocanis had a powerful battle prowess, he was still amander realm cultivators, so heughed looking at the Ajax. ording to him, Ajax had used all of his trump cards with the battle against Erick, so felt confident in killing him. ''Why the hell all the assassins sect disciples are idiots. Thinking they are all mighty and powerful,'' Ajax looked at the masked disciple and shook his head. He already saw the masked disciple''s sneak with his enhanced spirit sense, but he didn''t have time to dodge the attack, so he ordered Necros to use his summoned undead as the meat shield for him. "Okay, my dear assassin sect disciple, how many of you came this time?" Ajax just wanted to waste time until Darbaudres, so he was just talking some non-sense with the masked disciple. "Oh? This time?" The masked disciple confused at Ajax''s words. "Yes. Previously I killed a small squad of assassin''s sect who came for my head," Ajax was happy that he encountered a dumb disciple. "Really, but you will die for sure this time, Haha," After finishing his words, he looked at Ajax and felt something was wrong as he didn''t sense any fear from Ajax. ''Idiot, he is just wasting time to recover his strength. Quickly distract him and the others with him. I will assassinate the target,'' As he was feeling that, he heard his fellow teammate''s voice in his head. ''I will do it now,'' Without wasting any time, he rushed at Vonis who waspletely covered in mes. Beside Volcanis, Necros in his human form summoned his other undead creature to assist Volcanis. Also, the chubby it used its Earth shield to protect Ajax and Paulin and sent his earth clone to assist Volcanis. ''ng'' ''Swoosh'' ''Triing'' Soon the fight started between Ajax''s team and the masked assassin disciple. ''Necrose bring that Spear,'' As the fight was going on, Ajax ordered Necros to bring his upgraded spear from the body of the dead beast body. Because he saw that the spearpleted absorbing all the blood from Erick''s beast body. The reason he didn''t pick the spear earlier was to let the spear absorb the blood from the beast so that its strength could increase. Necros quickly did as he was ordered and brought the red spear and handed it to Ajax. The first thing he did was to check its effects. ''Ding, The effects of the bloodlust spear form increased from 10 percent to 12 percent. Chapter 215: Using the Bloodline for the first time

215 Using the Bloodline for the first time

''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised at the system notification. "2 percent increase in attacks with this form. It''s good," Ajax was satisfied with the improved bloodlust spear form''s attacks. Although the increment seemed very little, it was very high as the spear only absorbed the blood from a single cultivator. ''If it absorbed more, then it will be more powerful than heaven''s destroyer form, right?'' Ajax thought and wanted to kill more of these assassin sect b*stards. Next, he looked at the fight that was going on between his elemental spirits and the assassin sect''s disciple. ''If only my elemental spirits are little more powerful, then the fight would havepleted by now?'' Even though Volcanis was only at the Elemental spiritmander realm, with the help of Necors and it, he was able to manage against that disciple. If Ajax didn''t use his strength earlier, Ajax and Volcanis would have been able to injure the masked disciple or even kill him. However, his two boosts were disappeared, and he became a weak level 4mander realm cultivator. So he just sat in the earth shield ordering his elemental spirits. When he saw the slight disadvantage to his elemental spirits, Ajax sighed and suddenly thought of something. "System, activate Abyssal bloodline," He knew Darbaudr woulde soon, so he wanted to use to his another trump card to help his elemental spirits. ''Ding, The host is in a weakened state now. ''Ding, So, the Abyssal bloodline''s true power can not be utilized by the host, and the chances of the host turning insane will be increased. ''Ding, Do you want to use it? "Huh?" Ajax surprised for a moment and understood what the system meant. ''I should try it now or in the future anyway. Let''s see how powerful this weakened Abyssal bloodline," he took the risk and said, ''Yes'' in his mind. He wanted to use his Abyssal bloodline to give a boost to his elemental spirit until Darbaudres. ording to him, Darbaudr coulde anytime now; he wanted to go all out. ''Ding, The Abyssal bloodline is now activated. The host is requested to remain focus and should be ready to cancel the bloodline before could turn insane.'' When he saw the system notification, Ajax nodded his head and closing his eyes, and he remained focused. As soon as the Abyssal bloodline was activated, all the elemental spirits that were fighting received a boost in their battle prowess by a twofold. With the boost, Volcanis''s strength which was already on par with the level 1 elitemander realm increased to level 5 of the elite spiritmander realm. As their cultivation levels increased, the fighting became easy with the assassin sect''s disciple. ''What the heck! Was he from Hawkpelt family? But he didn''t touch them, right?'' When he saw the increment in the elemental spirits, the masked disciple was shocked at Ajax, who silently sat inside a transparent shield with his eyes closed. ''Brother help me. I may not win them?'' The masked disciple contacted with his teammate who nned the whole assassination n through spirit transmission. However, to his surprise, he didn''t get any reply from his teammate. ''I should escape,'' Since he didn''t get any reply, he knew that his teammate was already escaped and he wanted to do the same. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' But, just as he turned around to escape from the fight, Volcanis shed his fire sword at him. ''Shit'' Although he dodged the Volcanis'' sword sh, he was pierced by a blood-red spear that came from the shield which was not active at the moment. ''System, cancel the bloodline,'' As soon as he threw the blood spear, he cancelled the Abyssal bloodline as he felt that he would not be able to suppress the crazy thoughts in his head. That''s right, as soon as he activated the bloodline, some crazy thoughts were wanting him to destroy everything around him. The reason he threw the bloodlust spear was also due to those thoughts, but he managed to suppress those thoughts and divert the killing intent towards the assassin sect disciple. ''I felt happy when I threw my spear at him, but that''s not I really felt when I kill the other assassin sect''s disciples,'' Ajax thought that he was changed somehow when he activated the Abyssal bloodline. Every time he killed an assassin sect''s disciple, he thought of Silver orphanage''s children who were massacred cruelly. But earlier, he felt that he had to kill others for no reason. At the same time, there was a voice that was constantly telling him to kill all, which frightened him, so he quickly diverted all the killing intent that was generated in him towards the assassin sect''s disciple and cancelled the Abyssal bloodline. ''Ding, Abyssal bloodline is deactivated. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for resisting the killing intent generated in you and sessfully increased a certain percent of resistance against the level 1 Abyssal bloodline. ''Ding, Next time, when the host uses the Abyssal bloodline, there are very fewer chances of turning insane with the killing intent. "Excellent," Ajax was excited when he saw the system notifications that rung in his head after he deactivated the Abyssal bloodline. ''I think I should use the bloodline more often to increase my resist against it,'' Ajax thought in his head, and he was eager to use the Abyssal bloodline more often from now. After checking the system notifications, Ajax walked towards the assassin sect''s disciple, who was on hisst breath. "Huh? Just a simple throw with my spear and you were already dying? Do all the assassin sect''s disciples are like this?" The attack was a simple one, but after the spear was pierced into his body, it started absorbing all the blood from him, making him look like a withered tree. With each passing second, the disciple felt that his life was passing away slowly. Although Ajax knew the real reason why that disciple was dying, he wanted to criticize him. But he didn''t feet good making the criticism and quickly killed the assassin sect''s disciple to send to his afterlife. ''Ding, The host gains 2000 units of the essence of nature. As soon as he killed the assassin sect''s disciple, he got the usual after-kill notification informing about the essence of nature he gained. Chapter 216: Beast gods bloodline

216 Beast god''s bloodline

"Full already?" Ajax was surprised for a moment but remembered that he gained 2500 units of the essence of nature form killing Erick, so he nodded his head and moved back towards the unconscious Paulin. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness is nearly almost full. ''Ding, The host has met the required conditions to upgrade the Abyssal bloodline to level 2. Do you want to upgrade? "Huh?" Just as he sat beside Paulin, Ajax got the system notifications suggesting to upgrade the Abyssal bloodline to level 2 which made him a little surprised. ''Should I upgrade it or increase my resistance to the level 1 bloodline?'' he suddenly thought about the pros and cons in upgrading the Abyssal bloodline to level 2. In his mind, various thoughts continuously shed as he analysed about the level 2 bloodline and finally asked the system before deciding his conclusion. ''System, how much time will it take to upgrade the Abyssal bloodline?'' He wanted to know the time taken for the upgrade before choosing his option. Although he was in a dilemma about upgrading the bloodline, he was more inclined to not upgrading it. As for a reason, it was simple. He wanted to increase his resistance to 100 percent before upgrading it to level 2, so he could fearlessly use the Abyssal bloodline whenever he wanted. However, the problem was if some powerful energy came after him, his level 2 bloodline would be very helpful in fighting against him. ''Ding, The upgrade time depends on the host''s strength. ''Ding, Higher the host''s strength, lesser will be the time taken o upgrade. "Uffo, can you say the approximate time based on my present strength," Ajax requested the system with a sigh. Nevertheless, he was happy seeing the system''s words on the holographic screen. With time, his strength would be increased gradually, so he felt that it was good. ''Ding, At present, the host has to endure the pain from the upgrade for 30 minutes. "Ok then, I will upgrade after I increase my resistance to the Abyssal bloodline''s crazy thoughts," Ajax finally concluded that it''s best for to postpone the upgrade as it would help him two ways. With time, his strength would increase, thus decreasing the enduring pain time. Also, his resistance to the blood could be increased during this time. After concluding the matter, he ordered his elemental spirits to bring the space rings from the two dead bodies, whereas he checked his inventory. It was because he gained an additional reward for killing Erick''s beast transformation form. Previous, he didn''t have time to check, so he wanted to look at the item he gained. In one of the inventory''s square boxes, there was a blood drop icon. ''Ding, Item name:- Unpurified Beast god bloodline. Grade:-????Low-level Earth grade Use:- Consuming it will give a low purity Beast god bloodline. Description:- This drop of the bloodline could be obtained by killing the people who consumed it earlier. "What? A bloodline?" Ajax didn''t expect the blood drop belongs to a beast god. ''Although it is an unpurified bloodline, its effects are good,'' Ajax thought in his head. Even though he didn''t know the exact effects of the bloodline, but he saw how powerful Erick had be after activating the bloodline. If not for his Heaven''s destroyer spear form, his senior brother would have already lost his life in the hands of the beast. "System, can you should the effects of the low purity beat god bloodline?" Ajax asked as he thought the system would have already recorded the data from Erick''s body. ''Ding, Bloodline:- Beast god bloodline (Low purity) (Level 1) Effects:- 1) Transforms the cultivator into a huge beast. 2) Increases overall abilities by 2 times for some time, depending on the cultivator''s strength. "It''s almost simr to my Abyssal bloodline, but it only focuses the cultivator," Ajaxpared the beast god bloodline with his Abyssal bloodline. The main disadvantage for the beast god bloodline was its transformation as for the Abyssal bloodline it was turning insane. ''Should I use it?'' After pondering for some time, he thought about using it. Although it was unpurified for now, Ajax thought he could upgrade the bloodline with the helo of system, so the purification was never his problem. Without any dy, he took out the item from the inventory that waspletely crystallized with blood-red colour. Soon, he put that crystallized blood drop into his mouth, which melted immediately. As soon as it was melted, Ajax felt like his body on fire, and the energy from the crystallized blood travelled all over the body. In a few seconds, the energy covered travelling all over his body and then came back into his spirit consciousness. Aftering into the spirit consciousness, that energy''s violent nature became mild and attached itself to the boundaries of his spirit consciousness. Throughout the process, Ajax only felt his body waspletely on fire as though he thought it would explode soon. However, he gritted his teeth and endured the heat until it disappeared. As soon as the heat in his body was disappeared, he heaved a sigh of relief and checked his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a new bloodline. ''Ding, Check the bloodline sections to know more about the bloodline. Before he could even check his spirit consciousness, he got the system notifications informing about the newly gained bloodline. However, he observed his spirit consciousness that now had strong boundaries that were extremely thick than its previous boundaries which were very thin. "Good," he nodded his head at the powerful boundaries. ''With these powerful boundaries, my spirit consciousness will be quite resistant to demonic skills,'' Ajax thought back to the time where Rosa''s passive skill hypnotized him. When the demonic skill hypnotized him, his spirit consciousness would be shaky, and his essence of nature''s cirction in his body became turbulent that lead him to fell into the effects of that skill easily. So having stronger boundaries of the spirit consciousness would help his spirit consciousness stable and he could remain focused all the time. After checking his spirit consciousness, he opened his user interface to check the newly gained beast god''s bloodline. ''Ding, Chapter 217: Collecting the spoils

217 Collecting the spoils

''Ding, Bloodline:- Beast god (Level 1) (Purity 5%) ''Only 5 percent?'' Ajax just checked the level and purity of the bloodline as there were no new effects for the bloodline. However, what surprised him the most was the purity of the bloodline. It was only 5 percent, but it''s already increasing the abilities of the user by two times. ''What will happen if it reaches 100 percent purity?'' Ajax didn''t dare to imagine it as it would be too overpowered. ''I thought I am the only one having powerful secret trump cards, but I should not underestimate others,'' he thought and checked his surroundings which werepletely silent and waited for his follower toe to him. He didn''t have any fear of the high-level spirit beasts since they were in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness where most of the spirit beasts were low-level ones. ''Summoning master, here are the space rings,'' soon his elemental spirits brought him the space rings of the dead assassin sect''s disciples. Ajax took the rings from their hands and checked the insides of those rings. There was a rule that one could not simply use the space rings of others unless they were dead. Since the original owners of those rings were dead, Ajax didn''t have any problem in checking them. In Erick''s space ring, there were mountains of spirit beast''s carcasses that ranged from rank 3 to rank 4 spirit beasts. There was even?2 or 3 rank 5 spirit beasts dead bodies among the piles. ''Woah, this space ring has more space than any other space rings I have ever used,'' Ajax was surprised at how spacious Erick''s space ring was andpared it with all the space rings he had ever used. ''I will gift it to others,'' However, he shook his head. Ajax never cared about space rings much as he already had an inventory and the inner world. So, he decided to give it to others who need it most. ''Why did he have so many beast carcasses in his space ring? Do it have something to do with the beast god''s bloodline?'' Ajax pondered about the spirit beast''s dead bodies in Erick''s space ring and thought about the bloodline. ''Let''s see other items before testing those carcasses,'' Soon his gazended on a dagger which was peak earth grade and checked it''s attributes. When he saw the attributes of the dagger, he shook his head and focused on the next items. At one corner of the space ring, there was a massive pile of spirit stones which made Ajax once again surprised. ''Woah, this one is definitely a rich disciple,'' Looking at the pale body of Erick, Ajax scoffed. Other than those items, there were some other misceneous items in the ring that didn''t pique his interest. After thoroughly checking the space ring, he threw it into his inventory. ''What a poor guy,'' Ajax sighed at the assassin sect''s disciple that sneak on him after his battle with Erick. He sighed because there was not even a single spirit stone in it. To say more clearly, except for some clothes there was nothing in the space ring. "Oh shit, I totally forget about the Golden bear king," Ajax suddenly remembered about the whole reason, he and Paulin waited in the outer section. ''I think, it most probably died by now, sigh,'' Ajax sighed thinking that he missed a golden opportunity to tame the golden bear king. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check the quest tab for more information. Amidst his sighing, he got a system notification that made him excited as he quickly opened the quest tab to check for the mission details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Save the Golden Bear King Reward:- A lottery chance in the lottery tab. Danger rating:- B+ Description:- The golden bear king is surrounded by a group Assassin sect''s disciples. So saving it may give a chance for the host to tame it. "What? Is it still not dead? But surrounded by the assassin sect''s disciples?" Ajax became excited but suddenly thought of something. ''I saw many shadows earlier. Are they belong to the Assassin sect''s disciples?'' When an assassin sect disciple first attacked him, he saw 8-9 shadows among the trees. However, when he ran towards the exit of the Cursed Wilderness, he was followed by only a single shadow. So he thought the remaining disciples went after the Golden bear king. ''But judging from the strengths of those shadows, they had around the same cultivation of these two assassin sect''s disciples, Sigh'' Ajax sighed at the end of thinking. Only two assassin sect''s disciples made almost use all his trump cards if more than 5 or 6 assassin sect''s disciples would easily kill him, so his excitement from the mission disappeared immediately. ''If they are all from the same squad, then they would probablye for their missing teammates, so it''s best to leave from here right now,'' Ajax quickly stood up and looked at his elemental spirits Volcanis, Necros, and it. All of them looked tired after the fight and sat down to take some rest. "Thanks, you all did well today," Ajax praised them and summoned them back into his inner world since it had the more concentrated essence of naturepared to the outside world. After he summoned them back, his eyesnded on the upgraded mini-thunder pool. Back then, he didn''t have time to check as the assassin sect''s disciple attacked him, so he checked it for its upgrades. ''Ding, Item Name:- Mini thunder pool Elemental paradise:- Lightning and Thunder (Grade 2) Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of the all element spirit beasts and elemental spirits. 2) Increases the cultivation speed by thrice 3) Continuous staying in the pool and drinking the mini thunder pool''s water can increase the bloodline and strength. Special effect:-?The water in the mini-thunder pool helps the growth of nts and trees. "What? A special effect?" Ajax was over the moon when he saw the special effect that was the same as the water from the spring of life. ''A grade 2 Elemental paradise can increase the cultivation speed by three times,'' Ajax already knew the difference between grade 1 and grade 2, so he was not surprised by it. ''I should move now,'' After checking the upgraded Elemental paradise, Ajax stood up and walked towards the unconscious Paulin. However, just as he was about to pick Paulin, he felt energy fluctuations from his inner world. Chapter 218: Viper

218 Viper

''What is it now?'' Ajax stopped his actions and checked his inner world. As soon as his spirit consciousness entered into the inner world, he heard theughter of Bane who was emitting more powerful energypared to when he entered the inner world. "Come out, Bane," Ajax shook his head and summoned the poison elemental spirit that wasughing madly, out of the inner world. "Bane thanks the summoning master for giving me the quick strength," Just as he was summoned, without any dy, Bane bowed to Ajax and thanked him for giving the two elemental spirit stones which made him directly upgrade to the elemental spiritmander realm. A few seconds ago, he made a breakthrough to the Elemental spiritmander realm, so he was unable to control his happiness and madlyughed disturbing other elemental spirits and spirit beasts. Ajax was quick to react and summoned him out of the inner world. "Good. Since you broke through to the elemental spiritmander realm help me with something," Ajax nodded his head and asked the poison elemental spirit. "Just order me, summoning master, I will do whatever you ask me to do," Bane proudly raised his chest and replied to Ajax. "First transform into a human," Ajax slowly ordered Bane to transform. "Sure," within a few seconds, Bane''s transparent body transformed into a thin young man that wore a light green coloured robe. "Huh?" Ajax was shocked to see the transformed Bane as he was looked skinny that he may be blown away by the wind anytime. Bane looked at Ajax as though he was waiting for Ajax to order a mission for him. "Just follow me," Ajax shook his head and picked up the unconscious Paulin. Initially, he thought of making Bane carry Paulin, but after seeing the thin and pale Bane, Ajax shook his head, and he himself carried Paulin. ''Anyway, I can easily carry him,'' Ajax thought in his head as he started running towards the exit of the Curse Wilderness. "Huh?" Bane was puzzled at his summoning master but still, followed Ajax without asking anything. As they were running Ajax checked the skills of Bane with the help of the system. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Bane Element type:- Poison (Auxiliary) Cultivation:- Level 1 elemental spiritmander. Skills:- 1) Poison mist (Level 3) Skill description:- A 100-meter radius around the elemental spirit bes a field of mist that was filled with toxins for 30 minutes. Cooldown time:- 1 hour Note:- Nothing will happen to the host in the Poison mist. 2) Poison scythe (Level 2) Cooldown time:- 1 hour 3) Viper (Level 1) Skill Description:- An extremely poisonous snake will be summoned by the elemental spirit for 10 minutes that had the strength of the skill user. Cooldown time:- 30 minutes. ''He got some good skills. So there is nothing wrong with his madughter earlier,'' Ajax nodded his head at Bane''s skills that could be used for a sneak attack. ''As long as he uses his level 3 poison mist, even level 1 elitemander realm cultivators will be poisoned,'' Ajax felt he good that he managed to form a contract with an auxiliary elemental spirit. ''I need to break through to the general realm quickly to form a contract with that space elemental spirit,'' Ajax excited, thinking that his next official contract would be a top auxiliary elemental spirit. As Ajax and Bane were running towards the exit of the Cursed Wilderness, in the opposite direction to them, a masked figure was running hurriedly. ''I should quickly notify the eldest brother Braylon about that Hawkpelt boy who managed to increases the cultivation level of the middle-aged man by almost a major realm,'' As he ran, he muttered. He was none other than the two assassin sect''s disciples who followed Erick to help him in case of any unknown danger. However, not only Erick but also his junior brother died in the hands of Ajax. ording to him, Ajax belongs to the Hawkpelt family as he could boost the cultivation strengths of others. Soon he reached the ce his fellow teammates were about to fight the golden bear king. "Eldest brother, stop the attack, we need to catch that boy," Without any dy, the masked assassin sect''s disciples exined everything about the fight. He even revealed about spear that killed Erick''s beast body. "What?" "Vice-captain was killed?" "Erick was killed in his beast transformation?" All the teammates were shocked because Erick was their vice-captain and he was the second strongest of their team. So when they heard he was killed, all were utterly shocked. "Also, the most important thing was that Ajax belongs to Hawkpelt family and even achieved mastery in their family''s special technique," As they were in the shock, the disciple revealed everything he assumed about Ajax making their hearts stop for a moment. "What? He belongs to the Hawkpelt family?" Braylon shouted loudly at the disciple, who said the information. "Come, let''s go. We have to kill them today," Braylon quickly shouted at his teammates and ran towards the direction of the earlier fight. Whey they saw that their calm captain became mad after hearing about the Hawlpelt family, they didn''t ask anything and ran towards him. "What about that golden brother," Zak who was over the moon earlier got depressed and asked Braylon as he ran beside him. "We wille after to get that bear king. You don''t have to about it," Braylon replied coldly making Zak not to ask any further questions. "Brother, what happened to the other one with you?" As all the assassin sect''s disciples ran after Braylon and Zak, one of the disciples asked the disciple who came to inform them about Erick''s death. "That Ajax killed him," that disciple said as he sighed that he missed his junior brother. "What? Why did you tried to fight him when you know that he was able to kill Erick?" the disciple who asked the question was shocked and scolded him. "After killing Erick, Ajax looked so weak, and we thought we could take revenge for our vice-captain, but who knows that a middle-aged man came out of nowhere and ¡­.." He exined how his fellow teammate died in the hand of Ajax with a sad face. However, in his heart, he didn''t feel anything. Chapter 219: Darbaudr arrived

219 Darbaudr arrived

''Swoosh'' Ajax continued to run carrying Paulin, but he was suddenly stopped when he heard a movement in front of him. "Uff," When he saw who it was, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was none other than Darbaudr, the barbarian hunter, who came as quickly as possible after hearing his young master''s order. "Young master, are you all right?" The first thing he did after encountering Ajax was to check his health condition. "Yes, I am fine," Ajax finally felt fully rx that he doesn''t have to run from anyone any longer. "Sorry, Young master, I was unable toe on time to help," Darbaudr bowed and apologized to Ajax. "No, no, no. You came at the right time, hehe" Ajax cunninglyughed as he checked that the golden bear king resume mission in the quest tab was still there. "Huh?" Darbaudr was puzzled at the Ajax''s cunningugh as he didn''t understand what his young master was nning. "cious,e out," Ajax''s spirit sense entered into Paulin''s spirit consciousness and called cious out. Since Paulin was unconscious at the present moment such that his spirit consciousness was least guarded which made Ajax''s sprit sense to enter into his spirit consciousness easily. For that same reason, cious was able toe out of the spirit consciousness easily. "Drink this and carry Paulin back to the squad building," After cios came out, Ajax quickly handed it some water from the mini-thunder pool and asked him to carry Paulin. "T..this is ..," cious was shocked by the life and lightning energying from the water. Nevertheless, he quickly drank it to heal his injuries and carried Paulin. He immediately transformed into his human form, and without looking back, he ran towards the exit of the Cursed Wilderness. Ajax was not worried about cious being attacked by some spirit beasts along the way, as there was only less than halfway out of the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness. "Now, let''s take some revenge for present and past grievances, hehe," After sending cious and Paulin, Ajax turned towards Darbaudr and revealed a cruel smile. "..." Darbaudr was speechless for a moment before nodding his head. "Come on. We don''t have much time," He didn''t waste any second longer and immediately ran towards the Golden bear king''s direction with the Barbarian Hunter following behind him. ''Young master got another new elemental spirit?'' Darbaudr was surprised seeing Bane, who was running beside him. Even though Bane was in his human form, Darbaudr, with his general realm cultivation, could easily say that the thin young boy beside him was not a human; instead, he was an elemental spirit. He was not shocked at the addition of new elemental spirit to Ajax''s team as he already knew about the official and unofficial elemental spirits. Although the reward from the mission was not that great, he was aiming for more than that. He wanted a spirit beast that was already powerful to his team in case of emergencies. After running for a few minutes with their full speed, Ajax and his team met the assassin sect''s discipline hall''s remaining disciples. "Hahaha. Why is our targeting towards us?" One of the assassin sect''s disciples asked while heughed. "Maybe, he wanted to beg for mercy, Haha" another disciple replied with augh. Even though they knew that Ajax was able to kill their Vice-captain Erick, they didn''t fear as they now have more number of teammates. Moreover, they have their captain who recently broke through to the general realm on their side. Due to that reason, their morale was very high and mocked Ajax continuously. As for their Captain Braylon, he was looking at the Barbarian behind the Ajax. ording to the report he read about Ajax, Braylon knew that Ajax bought a Barbarian ve whose strength was at the peak Elitemander realm. But at the same time, he already knew that Ajax didn''t bring his barbarian ve along with him to the Cursed Wilderness. ''Then how did he appear here?'' Braylon pondered about it, but he didn''t find the answer for it. And the most important thing that troubled him was, he couldn''t sense the cultivation of the Barbarian. ''I have to be careful,'' Braylon silently thought and shouted loudly to his teammates, "Everyone, be careful." When his teammates heard their captain''s serious words, they all became alert and carefully observed Darbaudr. "Zak, choose two of our brothers and kill Ajax as soon as possible. As for others, we will take care of this Barbarian," Braylon quickly divided two teams consisting of 5 and 3 members. The three men unit should kill Ajax and join the five men unit who would be fighting the Barbarian. Even though Braylon was arrogant, he would never underestimate an opponent. That is the reason he was able to reach the position he was currently in. Since he was unable to sense the cultivation of the Barbarian, he treated his opponent cultivation as the level 1 general realm. "Darbaudr, leave that guy who was ordering other disciples. As for others, kill them," As Braylon was nning for the fight, Ajax ordered Darbaudr to finish them all except for Braylon whom he wanted to ask some questions. "Yes, Young master," Darbaurd replied before vanishing from his ce. After he disappeared from his initial position, he appeared behind an unguarded assassin sect''s disciple and caught his head before twisting that poor disciple''s neck. Darbaudr didn''t stop there, and before anyone could notice what was happening, he killed two more disciples with the same technique. "What?" The remaining five assassin sect''s disciples, including Braylon and Zak, were utterly petrified by the speediness of the Barbarian. Even though Darbaudr was only at level 5 general realm, he had the battle experience of the peak elite general realm cultivator. So, he easily killed the peak elitemander realm cultivators before anyone could react. ''He is definitely not a simple general realm cultivator. I was not capable of doing it even after consuming the strength portion. I need to escape,'' Braylon looked at the Barbarian whose face was covered entirely in the blood of his fellow teammates and thought in his head. As he was observing Darbaudr,?Darbaudr revealed a smile on his ugly face, which made him shiver as though he saw some monster that was thirsting for blood. Chapter 220: Killing the assassin sects disciples

220 Killing the assassin sect''s disciples

"Please. Let me live," "I swear, I will be your loyal dog," "Please, it''s all a misunderstanding," As Braylon was shitting himself seeing the blood-covered?Darbaudr''s face, his teammates were fell onto the ground and started begging for forgiveness. "It''s all because of him, and he forced us toe along with him after you," As he managed to suppress his fear, he saw someone point at him andined to Ajax. When he saw the one who said those words, he was unable to believe his own eyes and puked blood. "Zak, what the hell are you talking," Braylon coldly looked at Zak and asked. "Ajax, kill him first, I will exin all you want to know about assassin sect and also, I will be a loyal servant to you," Zak only zed at Braylon for a moment before begging Ajax. "Interesting," When he saw how shameless the assassin sect''s disciples could be when they face a crisis, Ajax found it very interesting and funny. Nevertheless, he didn''t pay any heed to Zak and ordered Darbaudr, "What are you waiting for? Quickly kill them." ''Crack'' ''Cluck'' ''Crump'' After hearing his young master''s voice, Darbaudr quickly finished the rest of the assassin sect''s disciples in only a few seconds. While Darbaudr killed them, all kinds of cracking noises were heard in the surrounding that could raise goosebumps to anyone. Even Ajax was unable to watch the killing as he felt nauseous seeing the bloody scene in front of him. Except for Braylon, all the assassin sect''s discipline hall''s number one team was entirely annihted by Darbaudr within a few seconds. As he watched the killings of his fellow teammates, except for fear, Braylon didn''t feel anything towards his teammates. ''I should inform master about Ajax being the Hawlkpelt family member,'' Even though he knew his chances of escaping from that Barbarian was almost impossible, he wanted to inform his master about that. However, when he saw that Darbaudr was not killing him, he thought that he finally had some chance of escaping. "So, do you have something to ask me?" After suppressing his fear, he looked at Ajax and asked. "Yes, and you are free to not answer me if you don''t want," Ajax didn''t force Braylon as he already knew where to getplete answers to his questions. Nevertheless, he just wanted to get a clear idea about the assassin sect''s way of working. If he could get it, then it would be easier for him to go against the assassin sect when he bes powerful. "I will answer anything as long as you let me live," Braylon maintained a seriousness as he negotiated with Ajax. "Hahaha," instead of replying to Braylon, he simplyughed making Brayon''s inner rage increase. However, he didn''t do anything as he knew he couldn''t win against Darbaudr. "Darbaudr, destroy his spirit consciousness," afterughing for a moment, Ajax looked at Darbaudr and said. "Wait wait wait; you can''t do that, please I will answer everything you want to know," When Braylon heard Ajax''s words, he became anxious and his hope in escaping hit rock bottom. All most all the cultivators regard their spirit consciousness as their second life. Once it was destroyed, then their years of painful cultivation would be wasted. And in the future, they would be unable to cultivate and live the life of an average human. However, he didn''t pay any attention to his pleas before breaking his spirit consciousness with a palm technique. ''Kachaa'' "NOOO," Braylon felt an immense pain when his spirit consciousness was destroyed by the Barbarian and howled loudly. Never in his wildest dream, Braylon thought that he, an uing sessor of the discipline hall, became an average person. ''My cultivation is gone. Gone forever,'' After his pain subsided, Braylon''s eyes looked lifeless, and he continuously muttered. ''Bane, handle him. Darbaudr, let''s go,'' Ajax quickly gave an order to Bane before leaving with Darbaudr. He was in a hurry to save the golden bear king, and there was a high chance that he could tame it. So, he handed Braylon to Bane. Whereas he and Darbaudr left to the golden bear king''s resting ce to try his luck. Soon, Ajax saw the golden bear king which was looking much weaker than before. He stopped a few meters away from the bear and slowly moved towards it. Behind him, Darbaudr was on his full alert was ready to kill the golden bear king if it made any unexpected moves. Although he could use his strength to tame to the golden bear king, Ajax rejected it immediately. As for a reason Ajax rejected it because he got a system notification while he was on his way to the golden bear king''s position. ''Ding, The Mission ''Save the golden bear king'' details are updated. ''Ding, If the host uses the forceful way to tame the Golden bear king, then the bear would lose its life resulting in the mission failure. After he learned about it, he asked Darbaudr to just keep an eye on it while he used his way of taming it. ''Please fuzzball, don''t try anything unexpected,'' Ajax kept on muttering about it. After he reached 3-4 meters near to it, Ajax took out the grade 2 mini-thunder pool''s water. As though it sensed something important, the golden bear king immediately stretched its head up and looked at Ajax. It would be better to say that it looked at the water gourd in Ajax''s hand. Even though it looked at ready to take that gourd from Ajax, it looked at Darbaudr, whose strength it was unable to gauge. So it didn''t take any action and looked at Ajax. "Do you want it?" Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as it didn''t attack him immediately and slowly asked. "..." However, there was no reply from the golden bear king. It merely watched at the water gourd in his hands. "I know you understand me. If you don''t want it, I will leave now," As he said that, Ajax turned around to leave. ''Roarrr,'' Just as he turned around to leave, Ajax heard a low growl from the golden bear king. ''It worked, hehe'' Ajax smiled inward and turned to the Golden bear king. ''Thud'' However, before he could discuss his terms with the golden bear king, he fell onto the ground with a ''thud''. "What?" Chapter 221: An Expected New Mission

221 An Expected New Mission

"What?" Ajax was shocked to see the golden bear king fell to the ground. Without wasting any time, he quickly went to it and poured the Elemental paradise''s water on his bloody wound. After that, he also poured some water into its mouth with the help of Darbaudr. Soon, it''s health started stabilizing as the wound on its body healed rapidly. "What is it?" after everything was done, Ajax saw something under the massive body of the golden bear king. "Huh? It looks like an egg, but it was stronger than stone," Ajax took out the egg-shaped stone under it. ''Ding, Item name:-?A golden bear''s egg. "It''s really an egg," Ajax eximed with a surprise and silent thought in his head, ''So the reason, it didn''t move from its position was to protect this egg.'' From the first time he saw the golden bear king to until now, the bear didn''t move from this position. ''Please live, please live,'' Ajax wanted it to live so that he could add it to his team. Moreover, he felt sympathetic when he saw how he cared for its unborn. ''Sigh, having protecting parent is such a blessing,'' Ajax sighed as he looked at the golden bear king and then looked at the egg in his hands. "Young master, there is nothing to worry, its wounds are healing at a rapid speed," When he saw Ajax''s sigh, Darbaudr, who was checking the golden bear king''s wounds exined. "Good, let''s go back and meet up with Bane," Ajax nodded his head and stored the stabilizing golden bear king into his inner world before turning back. "Yes, young master," Darbaudr replied as followed Ajax. Darbaud didn''t shock when he saw Ajax casually store the golden bear king as he knew that his young master had some kind of treasure that could help me store the living things. Soon, Ajax and Darbaudr returned to the ce where they killed the assassin sect''s disciples. Ajax was astounded at the scene of Bane, who was in his thin young man''s form yed with a transparent scythe. ''My cultivation is gone. Gone forever,'' As for Braylon, he stood at the same position from the before as he muttered the same thing he muttered when they left. "Bane, what are?you doing ying with that scythe?" Ajax asked as he raised his brows. Ajax knew that it was his second skill ''Poison scythe'', but he doesn''t know why he was carelessly ying with it, so he asked Bane about it. "Summoning master after you went, some rank 4 spirit beasts came to this area and wanted to take those corpses, So, Viper and I took care of them," Bane exined as he pointed at some spirit beast''s corpses in the distance. As he looked at those dead bodies, a small green snake came out of those bodies and coiled around Bane''s thin hand. "This is....," "That''s right," Bane proudly nodded his head. ''It''s no wonder, he became a servant to Prophis so easily,'' Ajax shook his head seeing the childish Bane. ''Why are rank 4 spirit beastsing to the outer section of the cursed wilderness,'' He didn''t bother with him much, but he suddenly thought of something. First, the golden bear king, and next, those three rank 4 spirit beasts that were killed by Bane, so Ajax thought there might be something going on in the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness. ''Ding, The mission ''Save the golden bear'' ispleted. ''Ding, The reward is given add to the host''s lottery tab. As he was pondering, Ajax got the system notifications informing about the missionpletion. When he saw those notifications, Ajax heaved a big sigh. Since the system deemed the mission aspleted, then he doesn''t need to worry about the golden bear king''s life. Soon, he opened his lottery tab, in that there were two avable lottery chances. ''Good,'' Ajax thought in his head. Ajax already had a lottery chance from one of his previous missions, so he was not surprised at it. ''Bane, did you collect the space rings?'' Ajax looked at Bane and asked. Before leaving for the golden bear king''s mission, he gave another task for Bane. That is to collect all the space rings from the assassin sect''s dead disciples. "Huh?" Bane looked at Ajax sheepishly before shaking his head, indicating that he didn''tplete the task. "Sigh¡­ Go now and collect all the space rings," Ajax sighed as he ordered him toplete the task now. As Bane was collecting the space rings, Ajax went towards three dead spirit beasts and looked at them carefully. "The silver raptor cat, the howling ash deer and the aquatic blight ape. These are all low-level rank 4 spirit beasts," Ajax was able to identify them clearly since they were the mostmonly seen spirit beasts in the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness. ''There should be something in the middle section that was making these spirit beastse to the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness,'' Ajax once again pondered about the middle section. ''Ding, A new system mission generated in the quest tab. Please check for more details. Ajax already guessed he would get a mission since he justpleted the mission. He also guessed about the contents of the mission. But, still, he opened the quest tab to check more information about it. ''Ding, Mission:-?Find out the reason behind the appearance of rank 4 spirit beasts in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness. Reward:- 3 random poisons that could be used for building the Poison elemental paradise. Danger rating:-?B "I know, hehe," Ajaxughed as he read about the mission. "The rewards seem good," just like always, he became greedy when he saw the rewards. At the moment, he needed some poisons to build a poison elemental paradise for Bane. Even though it was easy to find the poisons in the goldcrest town, he wanted the poisons from the system. ording to him, all the items the system rewards were good, so, he thought the three random poisons would also be great. The more poisonous the poisons were, the higher the effects of the poison elemental paradise that would be build from them. So, without any hesitation, he decided to finish the mission first before going back to the five elemental world to save Raweth''s brother. Chapter 222: Twilight Wakes up

222 Twilight Wakes up

Although he had more than a week''s time toplete the mission, Ajax decided to go early since this was rted to the life of someone. So, he didn''t want to bete andplete the mission ahead of time. He didn''t n to rush into the five elemental world directly, but he already nned about it. So he was confident with the mission. Soon, Bane finished collecting the space rings and handed it to Ajax. However, Ajax didn''t check them. Instead, he stored them in his inventory along with the dead spirit beasts. "Darbaudr, Bane, let''s go," Ajax called them. Just as they ran for a few minutes, Ajax felt the fluctuations from the inner world, which made him stop in his tracks. "What happened this time?" Ajax immediately checked his inner world. As soon as he checked that, Ajax became excited. Because his first contracted spirit beast finally woke up from its slumber after sleeping for a long time. In the dark elemental paradise, a huge purple coloured dragon with enormous wings and spiky horns on its head. ''What the ¡­,'' Ajax looked at the Destructive twilight dragon that upied half of the area in the dark elemental paradise, making other dark beings ufortable. Without wasting any time, he quickly summoned Twilight out of the Inner World. As soon as it came out, it caught Ajax''s clothes with its sharp teeth and shook him hard. "What are you doing?"?Ajax was unable to react to the Dragon''s love and became a sacrifice for it. After shaking Ajax for a few minutes, Twilight stopped ying with Ajax and flew into the air and circled around them. "Young master, are you alright?" Darbaudr asked Ajax with his crude voice. "Yes, I am good," Ajax rubbed his head and stood, but still he was not stable as felt his eyes were rotating. After adjusting to his condition, Ajax looked at Twilight that was freely flying in the air with its enormous wings. ''It sure looks happy,'' when he saw how happy Twilight was, he felt good. "Twilight,e down," After allowing it to fly for a few minutes, Ajax aksed it toe down. Soon, the Dragon came down andnded in front of Ajax and nudged at him. "Let me see your new skills, twilight," Ajax looked at it and excitedly said. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Destructive twilight dragon. Strength:- Mid-level rank 4. Passive skills:- Tough skin, Enhanced flight. Active skills:- Poison breath, Dragon tail. Innate skills:- Dragon''s rage (Activates when the Dragon is angry passively), Destructive overlord. Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax, making him surprised. "Twilight, you became strong," Ajax gently caressed its spiky head. After caressing it for a second, he focused on its newly gained skills. Destructive overlord:- A passive skill, whenever the Dragon destroys something, its strength increases along with the damage it had done for some time. ''Ding, Dragon tail:- Its tail bes stronger as long as the skill is activated. ''Ding, Dragon''s rage:- A passive skill, that is only activated when the Dragon was angry. When the skill is activated, the Dragon''s cultivation will be increased by a major realm. Side effects:- Needs at least one of rest in an extremely rich essence of nature to recover its strength. "Destructive overlord. I think, its new innate skill is truly powerful," Ajax only checked some new skills and its already awakened innate skill ''Dragon''s rage''. When he saw the description of the ''Destructive overlord'', he finally understood the true power of the destructive dragons. Destroying was easier than creation. "I think Twilight will be ying an important role in destroying the assassin sect?" Ajax thought as he looked for that day. Just imagine, whenever it destroys something, it bes stronger and If it continues the destruction, then who would be its match. A simple imagination made Ajax excited, and he also thought his dream of taking revenge was alsoing soon. ''Just you wait for me, assassin sect. I will make you regret what you did to the Silver Orphanage,'' Ajax face was filled with anger remembering the scenes of the killings from the orphanage. "I just need some more time," Ajax thought as he looked at Darabudr, Bane and Twilight. He thought that with his elemental spirits and spirit beast, he could overwhelm the assassin sect when he had sufficient strength. "Come, let''s move," He didn''t focus too much on other skills as he knew them already and ordered Darbaudr and Bane to mount the Dargon along with him. "But, young master. What should we do with him?" Darbaudr pointed at Braylon, who was still in a shock from losing his consciousness and asked. "Huh?" Ajax looked at Braylon and felt pity. However, he steeled his heart, remembering how cruel the assassin sect and its disciples were. Nevertheless, he felt that he was bing more and more heartless as he started the path of taking revenge. "Sigh¡­.Kill him darbaudr," After waiting for some time, he sighed and order Darbaudr to kill Braylon. "Young Master, you don''t have any question to ask him?" Darbaudr went towards Braylon. But before killing him, he asked Ajax to confirm his order. Ajax nodded his head and silently mounted the Dragon behind him, not watching the killing. ''Ding, Can the host give a chance to Braylon if he is truly changed? As soon as he mounted, Ajax got a notification from the system. "Darbaudr, stop," Before he could check the system notification, he stopped Darbaudr form killing him. Darbaudr stopped his actions and looked at Ajax with a puzzled expression on his face wondering why Ajax made him stop him all of a sudden. "System, what are you saying?" Ajax didn''t understand what it was implying to, so he asked for rity. ''Ding, Can the host give a chance to Braylon if he is truly changed? Instead of exining clearly, the system repeated the same notification. "..." Ajax became speechless at the system for a moment and read the notification once again before giving his answer. "Yes," Ajax replied to the system wondering what would system do to Braylon if he agreed. ''Ding, Braylon, who lost his cultivation, finally understood the pain of what it''s meant to lose something dear to someone. Now, he started regretting doing all the things he did in the past and wanted to repent. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking a new system feature. Chapter 223: Second Chance

223 Second Chance

"What?" Ajax was shocked at the new system notification informing him about a new system feature. ''Ding, There is nothing wrong with giving a chance for those who really regretted. ''Ding, Please check the new system feature. "Correct," Ajax agreed with the system and checked the user interface. ''Ding, System feature:- Second chance Avable uses:- 1 (A free use was given when the feature is unlocked). Description:- Everyone needs a second chance, but how to find out that they have really changed? Herees the ''Second chance'' feature to find about it.'' The system will give the person a suitable mission to repent for his actions. More info:- Host needs to use 5000 units of the essence of nature with the avable use to activate this feature. Rewards:- If the host were right in giving a chance to the enemy, he would be rewarded along with his 5000 units of the essence of nature; otherwise, another 5000 units will be deducted slowly over time. "Hmm," Ajax was bing more and more vary about the system. ''What it wants to make me? A Judgment hero?'' Ajax thought in his head and looked at Braylon. ''Why can''t anyone live without harming others?'' He had wondered about his questions since he started hearing the stories from Elder Boron. Nevertheless, he checked his spirit consciousness for the essence of nature. "Woah, system, use the ''Second chance,''" When he saw the 6000+ units of the essence of nature, he immediately gave ordered the system to initiate the second chance feature. ''Ding, Consuming 5000 units of the essence of nature along with the avable use. ''Ding, Please choose the target. Soon he got a series of notifications asking him to choose the target. "Braylon," Ajax pointed at Braylon and chose the target. ''Ding, Target selected. Braylon will now be under an illusion. If he really wants to change, he wille back; otherwise, he will die, and the host needs to pay an additional 5000 units of the essence of nature. As soon as he chose Braylon, the muttering Braylon nked out as started snoring. "That''s it? I don''t have to do anything?" Ajax asked the system, but he got no reply. Soon, he sent Braylon to his inner world to let himplete whatever the trial the system is putting him in the dreamy illusion. ''I wonder, will hee out? Or die in that illusion?'' He didn''t bother with Braylon any longer and went to sit on Twilight. Darbaudr and Bane followed Ajax to sit on the dragon back. Twilight didn''t mind Ajax mounting it, but when it saw Darbaudr and Bane, it loudly snorted as though it was expressing its dissatisfaction. Although the dragon allowed them to mount on it, it still looked dissatisfied towards Ajax. Soon, everyone mounted on it and sat on its broad back. After that, the dragon immediately took flight and rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "What the hell happened," As Ajax and his team flew towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness, in the discipline hall of the assassin sect''s, an angry voice came out. ''Kacha'' ''Paatt'' "How can this happened. Who dares to kill my disciples?" the first elder, who was the head of the discipline hall, angrily broke things in front of him. "How can the life and death jades of all my top 10 disciples be broken?" he looked at his hands. In his hands, there were many broken jades. These jades were called life and death jade that was used to know the life and death of a particr person. However, in his hands, more than half a dozen jades were broken, which meant his disciples were killed by someone or something. It was not an umon thing for sects to have this method. Almost all the top sects and organizations use this method on their genius disciples. ''I think, someone from other halls or the five main families must have had their hands in this incident,'' The first elder immediately concluded the mastermind behind the killing of his disciples. He knew that although all the halls were under the assassin sect, they won''t give a moment of thinking to kill the other hall disciples. "Moreover, I need to find the bodies of that Erick and Braylon immediately," The first elder suddenly became anxious and rushed out of his discipline hall to find the bodies of his top two disciples. As for what reason, he became anxious all of a sudden, no one knows. "Where are you rushing to in such a hurry, First elder?" Just as he came out of the hall, he heard a loud familiar voice from his left side. "Didn''t sect master ordered all of us to stay in the sect and fight against the possible demon invasion?" before he could check his left side, he heard another familiar voice from the right. "What are you doing here, Second elder," The first elder didn''t bother with the one from his right side. Instead, he looked at his left and coldly asked. "Hahaha, what am I doing? Of course, I am keeping an eye on all the troublesome elders who might leave the sect in these emergency crises," the secondlyughed loud as he said with a mocking voice. "Youuu," The first elder was raged with the second elder''s mocking but controlled his rage and immediately entered back into his hall. "Second Elder, the first elder looks very angry at you. Is it necessary to incite him?" After the first elder entered the hall, a middle-aged man came from the right side and asked the second elder politely. "It''s not enough. Just you watch, I will slowly torture him for what he did to me in the past, fourth elder" The second elder scoffed and left from the discipline hall''s entrance. "Sigh..." The fourth elder shook his head at the second elder. ... Inside the discipline hall, the first elder looked at the two bigger broken jade and clenched his hands. "If I don''t get their bodies, my years of hard work will be in vain," He thought for a moment and took out something from his space ring. "I think I need to use this thing," he sighed but determined to use the item he took out of the space ring. Chapter 224: Ajax wants to play

224 Ajax wants to y

The thing he took out of the space ring was a doll that looked just like him, but it was very small. After looking at it for a moment, he closed his eyes and injected his essence of nature into the doll. Within a few seconds, the small doll started growing in size and reached the same height as the first elder. "Bring me the bodies of my first two disciples," As soon as the doll became a regr cultivator with the general realm cultivation, the first elder ordered it. His clone nodded his head and rushed out of the discipline hall. ''He his using that doll technique. It seems like something terrible happened, Hahaha,'' when the second elder, who kept an eye on the discipline hall, saw a person who looked just like the first elder surprised for a moment andughed. He didn''t pay any heed to the clone and went back to his cultivation. Nevertheless, he was still keeping an eye on the first elder''s hall from his weapons hall. .... In the Hazegroove mercenary squad''s building, "What happened to Paulin?" When Udo saw cious, who was carrying the unconscious Paulin, he quickly asked cious. Udo, who always keeps an eye on his surroundings, immediately came out of his room when he sensed Paulin''s weak presence. Without waiting for a reply from cious, Udo checked the condition of the Paulin and heaved a sigh of relief. ''Master and Ajax, both are attacked by the assassin sect''s disciples,'' "What? Where is Ajax?" Before, cious could exin the whole story. Edmond, who came out of his room, was shocked to hear that his squad members were attacked by the assassin sect''s disciples and worriedly asked about Ajax. "Master and Ajax were able to kill the two disciples that followed them. After killing them, Ajax asked me to leave with Paulin," cious briefly exined the incidents in the Cursed Wilderness. "Udo, Let''s enter the Cursed Wilderness," Hearing about the assassinations attempts on Ajax, and Paulin made Edmond seeth with anger. "Sure," Udo nodded his head and went back to his room to make preparations to enter the Cursed Wilderness. "cious, take Paulin to his room and rest," Edmond said to cius before leaving to his room. cious, carried Paulin and left to Paulin''s room. After a few minutes, Edmond and Udo came out of their rooms simultaneously as they were already nned about it. "Are you going to meet the guild master?" Aftering out of their building, Udo asked Edmond. "No, let''s directly head to the Cursed Wilderness," Edmond took out a paper pigeon from his space ring and wrote something on it before it flew away. "Okay," When he saw the paper pigeon, Udo nodded his head and didn''t ask any more questions. "Edmond, are you starting the mission early?" While running, Udo asked Edmond seeing the determination on Edmond''s face. "No, this doesn''t have anything to do with the mission," Edmond shook his head. "By the way, I didn''t see that Barbarian from the morning, where do you think, he had gone to?" Udo slowly asked another question that was bugging him for a while. "Let''s clear the demon servants along the way if we find any. Don''t muddle your head with those things, Udo," Edmond made Udo stop his further questions with some simple words. From then, there was silence between them and only focused on running towards the Cursed Wilderness. .... Ajax didn''t know that Edmond and Udo were rushing towards the Cursed Abyss for him, but he flew towards the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness without care. "Young master, there are some masked disciples who look simr to the one I just killed," As he was flying with the twilight, he heard Darbaudr''s voice who sat behind him. He looked at the direction, Darbaudr was pointing at and revealed a grin. "Ho, it looks like there is another squad of the assassin sect. I wonder what they were searching for?" Ajax didn''t think they were looking for him as there were already ten powerful cultivators that were already sent after him which was already an overkill. So, he thought, why would they send more teams to kill amander realm cultivator. Nevertheless, he wanted to say hello to them. "Darbaudr, only act when I need help, alright?" As he ordered Darbaudr, he jumped from twilight''s back. "Yes, young master," even though he knew that Ajax could not hear him, Darbaudr still replied. ''Let''s test my skills,'' Ajax thought and ran towards the ten-member squad of the assassin''s sect. "Senior brother, look, our target is running towards us, Haha," one of the masked disciples loudlyughed, pointing his finger at Ajax. Although he was far away from them, Ajax still heard him clearly as the owner of that voice spoke loudly. "Finish him quickly, and we could go back to sect sooner," the one who was called Senior brother, didn''t even bother to look at Ajax and ordered his teammates. ording to him, it was unnecessary for sending their team to kill amander realm cultivator. So, he was pissed at his own master for this silly mission. Nevertheless, he couldn''t openly oppose his master, so he simply followed his master''s order. However, after searching for nearly a day, he lost interest in this mission as he and his teammates were unable to find a measlymander realm cultivator. Just when he was about to lose his control, he finally heard from his teammate that their target was finallying towards them on their own ord. "Yes, senior brother," the masked disciple beside him nodded his head and slowly walked forward. "System, show their strengths," Ajax didn''t stop running when he asked the system to show their cultivations. Soon, he got a piece of brief information on the cultivation of all the masked disciples. ''1 peak elitemander, 2 level 8 elitemanders, 5 level 5 elitemanders and 2 level 1 elitemander, not bad,'' Ajax didn''t fear at their strengths as Darbaudr already got his back. All he wanted to do now was to use all of his skills on these Assassin sect disciples. "I am enough for thismander realm brat," one of the level 1 elitemander realm masked disciple ran towards Ajax with his full speed. Chapter 225: Shadow clone

225 Shadow clone

''Swoosh'' Ajax took out his inheritance sword from the spirit consciousness and shed with the iing assassin sect''s disciple. "You have a nice sword, but it''s useless when you don''t have enough strength to disy its true power, Hahaha" Looking at the dazzling sword, the disciple was surprised and then mocked Ajax for his strength. "Really?" As the discipleughed while running, Ajax used his level 2 cloud steps and increased his speed, which was slightly faster than the level 1 elitemander realm cultivator. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Aarrgh'' When Ajax used his movement technique, Ajax disappeared from his sight for a moment and appeared in front of the masked disciple before shing him. Ajax didn''t want to kill the disciple in one sh, so he barely cut on his chest. ''Aarrgh, damn you brat,'' The disciple was angered when he saw that Ajax managed to cut him with ease. In return, the disciple didn''t waste any time using one of his powerful techniques in an attempt to kill him. "You are weak, I don''t want to y with you," Ajax shook his head and used his peak level 1 sword dao to cut him with his increased attack speedbined with the cloud steps. Initially, Ajax wanted to leave them after ying with them for a moment. However, to his surprise, their mission in this Cursed Wilderness was to kill him. So, he doesn''t want to show mercy to them and directly killed the first masked disciple form the squad. Also, there was one doubt that was always lingering in his head after he gave a second chance to Braylon, so he asked the system while they were flying towards the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness. "System, how can I know that a person truly wants to repent?" Ajax asked the system at that time. ''Ding, The host must feel nature more closely and observe the person; then there is a chance to know. ''Ding, However, it is a host''s problem to find out about it. If the host was right in giving a chance to an enemy that genuinely wants to repent, you could get a reward. ".." Ajax was speechless and simply focused on observing nature while flying on twilight until he was woken up by Darbaudr, who pointed at the assassin sect''s disciples. Coming back the present, Ajax didn''t feel that the disciple who he just killed would not change even if he were given a chance, so he simply killed him without wasting any time. ''Ding, The host has killed a level 1 elitemander realm cultivator. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Good, he gave more than I thought,'' Ajax nodded his head, looking at the dead body on the ground. He just used 5000 units on the second chance for Braylon, so he was excited to see those 1000 units of the essence of nature that came into his body. "What?" the other level 1 elitemander realm disciple was scared by Ajax''s simple sword sh. "Go in groups and kill him quickly," The squad''s captain didn''t even look at his dead teammate and ordered others to go and finish the job quickly. He just wanted then to finish the killing so that he could go back to the sect and cultivate in the seclusion to breakthrough to the general realm. Suppressing his fear, the level 1 elitemander realm disciple and other five-level 5 elitemander realm disciples attack Ajax. Among those six cultivators, he focused more on the least cultivation disciple as he wanted to practice his new skills slowly. Before they could reach him, he used his shadow clone skill, which he awakened from his second official spirit contract. As soon as he used that, his shadow on the ground became real and stood beside him. The only difference between them was one had a dark shade on his face making him look like a demonic cultivator. His shadow clone didn''t waste any time and directly jumped into the shadow of the dead disciple and came out within a few seconds. ''Ding, The host''s shadow clone has absorbed a shadow of a dead being that the host had killed. ''Ding, Need 99 more shadows to reach level 2 in the shadow clone skill. ''Swoosh,'' Ajax already knew that his shadow clone could absorb other shadows that he killed, so he was not surprised; instead, he rushed towards the iing masked disciples with his shadow clone beside him. "Absolute darkness," As soon as he reached near them, he used his ''absolute darkness'' and shed a level 5 elitemander to death and injuring the other two disciples of the same realm beside him. The shadow clone also didn''t ck as it killed the level 1 elitemander who was terrified from the absolute darkness skill that blinded him and gave him some horrifying nightmares. Taking advantage of that, the shadow clone was easily able to kill him. Within just a few seconds, among the six masked disciples, two were killed. As for the remaining four level 5 elitemander realm disciples, they were injured by Ajax. ''Aarrgh'' ''Aarrghh'' Even after those shes, they were still unable to move and clutched their heads in pain and howled. ''Ding, The host¡­. ''Ding, The host¡­ Just like always, he got two system notifications informing the gained essence of nature. However, Ajax didn''t bother to check as he felt that his absolute darkness had be stronger. ''I think, breaking through to the spirit cultivation was the reason for the increase,'' Ajax immediately rted it to his spirit cultivation that was unlocked after his trip to the elemental spirit world. ''I need to focus on my spirit cultivation, and it''s more useful than I think,'' he noted down this point in his mind and looked at the four masked disciples who were still howling in pain. "What did you do to my teammates," The captain of the squad finally took an interest in Ajax. Since Ajax was able to fight the cultivators of one major realm higher than him, the captain epted that Ajax as someone that was worthy of fighting him, the future head of the mission hall. Chapter 226: Limitation of Absolute darkness

226 Limitation of Absolute darkness

"Both of you go and kill him," Although he thought that Ajax was worthy of him to fight, he didn''t move as he wanted Ajax to defeat his other teammates. He wanted to see the true prowess of Ajax. However, he knew that it was impossible for Ajax to beat his two vice-captains who had the cultivation of level 8 elitemander realm. ''When those two fight as a team, Even I have to reveal all of my trump cards to defeat them,'' the captain of mission hall''s first squad shook his head at Ajax. The team''s vice-captain looked at each other and nodded their heads at their captain before walking towards Ajax. As Ajax was thinking about increasing his spirit cultivation, his shadow clone was busy absorbing the shadow of the two dead masked disciples. ''Aarrgh'' ''Aarrgh'' The four disciples were still holding their heads as they howled. ''Sigh, you can''t even care for your teammates,'' Ajax sighed at the two iing masked disciples and said. "As long as we take care of you, everything is ok," one of the two disciples said before he rushed with his other teammate at Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Along the way, a short sword appeared in each of their hands and waved at Ajax in a perfect synchronization between them. Ajax didn''t dare take them lightly as he knew they were level 8 elite realmmanders, so he used his maximum speed to dodge the attacks from them. However, even with his maximum speed, Ajax was barely able to dodge the attacks. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to use any of his trump cards yet. Although Ajax only had the cultivation of level 5mander realm, his strength was on par with many of level 1 elitemander realm cultivators. Along with the boost from the sigmi''s pendant and his natural inhumane strength, he easily fought with level 5 elite realmmanders. And, now with the level 8 elitemanders, he felt the blood rushing he wanted. After dodging the attack, Ajax didn''t give them any time to gang up on him with theirbined attacks, so he again used his ''absolute darkness.'' ''Shua'' As soon as he used that skill, darkness surrounded the two masked disciples that were attacking Ajax. However, it onlysted for a few seconds before returning to normal. "What? No effect?" Ajax waspletely speechless at his skill. Since level 5 elitemander realm cultivators were unable to escape his absolute darkness, he thought that the level 8 cultivators would at least have some effect on them. But, his assumptions were wrong as the two masked disciples werepletely fine. ''Looks like it can''t be used on them,'' Ajax didn''t disappoint much about his skill being failing on them; instead, he learned the limit of his absolute darkness and nodded his head. As soon as the spear appeared in Ajax''s hands, it exuded a majestic presence from it that overlooked all the beings around it. ''It''s a heaven grade weapon, but I can''t urately guess it''s minor realm though,'' the captain of the squad looked at the spear with his shining eyes. "Kill him and bring that spear to me. I will give the short swords you wanted from the master," He immediately ordered his vice-captains. When they heard those words, both the vice-captains became excited and rushed at Ajax. .... "Young master is very powerful. Even in the Ylercester province, only a few geniuses could bepared with him," Darbaudr, who was watching the fight from afar, praised Ajax for his battle prowess. ''I wonder, who trained him from his childhood,'' He silently thought in his head. Since it was impossible to get those battle prowess without proper training, he thought about Ajax''s background. ??Nevertheless, I can see a small hope in taking revenge for my tribe,'' Darbaudr''s eyes shined with a vengeance when he thought about this. ''When will summoning master make me evolve?'' As Darbaudr was having thoughts of revenge, Bane was thinking of his promised evolution. ''Gur gur'' As for Twilight, it was scoffing at the two beings on its back. ..... "Udo, see there," Edmond pointed at a beast body that was lying on the ground and asked Udo to check it. After travelling at their full speed for a few hours, Edmond and Udo were able to reach the first battle area that Ajax and the assassin sect''s disciples were fought. As soon as they reached there, Edmond saw a beast body that he was unable to recognize which spirit beast it was from a distance, so he asked Udo to check it. "He seems to be an assassin sect''s disciple that was killed by Ajax and Paulin," Udo was able to guess it with a nce as he saw some assassin sect''s clothing on it. "Weird, how can the assassin sect possess such a cultivation technique," Edmond looked at the body and seriously said. "Udo, let''s move towards the Cursed Wilderness," After observing for a second, he was unable to sense anything from it, so he decided to move deeper. "Edmond, I think its better to spilt up and look for him," Udo suggested Edmond as it was impossible to find Ajax in the vast Cursed Wilderness. "Okay," Edmond nodded his head in agreement and started their search by splitting into two. ...¡­.. Soon after they left, a silhouette simr to the first elder came to the exact same ce and directly went to Erick''s beast body. It was none other than the first elder''s clone that was sent to collect the dead bodies of his first two disciples. When it saw the beast''s body, there was a frown on its face. However, the frown was soon disappeared after a moment. It immediately stored the body into its space ring before looking at its surroundings as though it was looking for something. It continued it''s search for a while and extended its search radius with the time. But, he couldn''t find anything even after searching for some time. It closed its eyes and muttered something before leaving in the same direction it came from. Chapter 227: Blood absorb

227 Blood absorb

Somewhere in the Cursed Wilderness, ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Two masked disciples rushed towards Ajax at an incredible speed. Although Ajax was barely able to see them, he didn''t back down as the blood in him started rising. He held Heaven''s destroyer bloodlust spear in his hand tightly and focused on the iing silhouettes. ''ssshh'' ''ngg'' The short swords were thrown at him from a distance that Ajax casually deflected it back with his spear. ''Punch'' After he deflected it, the two masked disciples arrived in front of Ajax, punching him. Ajax was a little slow in dodging the punches from them, which forced him back continuously. ''Cough¡­.this is what I want,'' Ajax coughed a mouthful of blood as he said. He already expected that level 8 elitemander realm cultivators would be strong, but still, he never thought they would be this powerful. ''Swoosh'' Without any dy, he rushed at them with his spear activating his level 2 spear dao. "What the heck!" Both the masked disciples were shocked that their punches were unable to kill a level 5mander realm cultivator. However, they quickly suppressed their shock and rushed at Ajax. When he saw Ajax withstood the punches from his vice-captains, the team''s captain looked surprised but soon shook his head. As they were fighting, Ajax''s clone that had Ajax''s 50 percent strength took the inheritance sword from Ajax and started to kill the level 5 elitemander realm assassin sect''s disciples who were rolling with pain on the ground. It didn''t stop with killing but also absorb the shadows of all the dead disciples. ''Why are these assassin sect''s disciples don''t care about their own disciples?'' Ajax thought for a moment and shook his head and concentrated on the fight. He used the same trick the masked disciples previously used by throwing his spear at them. ''Swoosh'' The spear that was still in the bloodlust form pierced its way towards them while spinning itself, creating a great force at its tip. When they saw the iing spear, they felt an ominous feeling in their hearts and didn''t dare to go against it head-on; instead, they dodged it. ''Hmpf,'' After dodging the blood-red spear, both of them harrumphed at the spear that passed them. However, before they could turn their heads back to Ajax, one of the masked disciples was cleaved by his demon w. ''Demon w'' was the skill he got from his first official spirit contract. "Hmm," After piercing the masked disciple, Ajax jumped back and looked at his right hand that was covered entirely in ck with demon nails pointing out of his hand. ''I need to upgrade it to level 2,'' Ajax shook his head as the demon was not as powerful as he thought. Nevertheless, he felt that it was useful as the demon w could easily prate into the higher realm cultivator''s body. ''Swoosh'' The shadow clone that was busy absorbing the shadows suddenly left its work and entered into the body of the masked disciple from the area where he was wounded. "What did you do to me," Just as he was pondering about upgrading the demon w, Ajax heard the painful voice of the masked disciple who was wed by the demon w. ''Ding, The host''s clone learned a new special skill that was unique to it. ''Ding, Please check the stat''s page of the shadow clone. "What? Is it even possible?" Ajax was simrly shocked just like the masked disciples, but he quickly checked new skills his shadow clone learned. ''Ding, Being:- Shadow clone (Level 1) Skills:- Shadow absorb, Blood absorb Skill descriptions:- Can absorb the shadows and Blood from other beings to level up. Skills upgrade:- Absorbing 100 shadows for ''Shadow absorb'' and blood from 100 beings for Blood absorb. Level upgrade:- Both the skills are needed to be in level 2. "Woah! Cool," Ajax was unable to control the excitement as he loudly eximed. As Ajax was celebrating for his shadow clones new skills, the masked disciple into whom his shadow clone had entered became as thin as a stick. Afterpletely absorbing the blood from the body, the shadow clone came out of his body before heading towards the other dead bodies to feat on them. ''What is that thing,'' Only then the Captain of that unit looked at it and took it seriously. He thought that it was some type of cloning technique that was used to assist the cultivator, but now, he looked at it with greedy eyes. ''This kid has more tricks, I should get my hands on all of them, hehe,'' He looked at the shadow clone and then looked at Ajax. ''p'' ''p'' "Well, kid, Congrattions. You have sessfully piqued my interest," the captain of the squad pped as he slowly moved towards Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, Ajax moved towards his spear and picked it up before piercing the other shocked level 8 elitemander realm disciple with his 30 percent pration power from his spear dao. The disciple was still in the shock as he was unable to believe that his partner, who apanied him from his childhood, died just like that, in front of his eyes. However, before he could that of any revenge, Ajax killed him without hesitation as he sensed that they are not like Braylon. In Braylon, he felt there was some pure soul deep in him, but there was no one who brought it out, so he wanted to give him a chance. Unlike these disciples who were corrupted to the core. So, Ajax didn''t feel anything when he killed these disciples. "You dare to ignore me?" the captain felt his ego hurt when he saw that Ajax didn''t bother to look at him and kill his only remaining teammate. "..." Ajax was speechless at the captain because he thought that the captain might intercept his attack when he tried to kill the remaining disciple. ''However, he didn''t even try to stop me and was angry because I paid him no attention?'' Ajax found it very funny. "I am going to kill you," Seeing the smile on Ajax, the captain howled and rushed at him. "Really? I heard it many times before. But I am still here alive," Ajax smiled at the captain that was rushing at him. Chapter 228: Cortez

228 Cortez

''Young master, there is something wrong with that guy,'' Darbaudr, who was watching from a distance, warned Ajax through voice transmission as he sensed some powerful energy from the captain of the squad. ''Huh? Okay,'' Ajax also felt an ominous feeling as he looked at the captain that was rushing at him. ''System, use the energy orb,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and used an energy orb to breakthrough a minor realm. As soon as he said that a small energy orb in his body broke and the energy in it rushed out and covered every part of his body. ''Ding, The host sessfully broke through to the level 5mander realm in his body cultivation. As always, the system notification informed him about his breakthrough, which onlysted a couple of seconds. ''Kick'' ''Thud'' However, before he could adapt to his new strength, a kicknded on Ajax that sent him flying into arge. "Hehe, a breakthrough in the middle of a battle? Are you a fool or what?" the captain looked at Ajax andughed. It was amon sense that breaking through amidst battle was the worst thing for a low-level cultivator as they were not able to adapt to their new strength in a very short time. "Do you want to see the true breakthrough?" When he saw the mockingugh on the captain''s face, Ajax shook his head and said. ''System, use all the energy orbs now,'' Ajax finally decided to use all his energy orbs in order to show him the real breakthrough. ''Ding, There should not be more than five minor realms difference between the body cultivation and the spirit cultivation. ''Ding, Please upgrade the spirit cultivation first. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked at the sudden system notifications that informed him about the spirit cultivation. Nevertheless, he asked the system, ''upgrade my spirit cultivation by three levels and one level in body cultivation.'' As soon as he said that, the remaining two energy orbs in his body also broke, and the energy rushed into his body. The energy from therge energy orb rushed towards the spirit consciousness, and the energy from the small energy orb, which was less concentrated rushed towards his body parts. Ajax just felt pain from his spirit consciousness for a second before getting a system notification. ''Ding, The host''s Spirit cultivation reached level 4 of the spiritmander realm. ''Ding, The host''s body cultivation reached level 6 of themander realm. As soon as his cultivations in both body and spirit cultivations upgraded, Ajax felt great and powerful. ''Now, with my level 2 spear dao, I could easily go against a level 1 general realm,'' Ajax silently thought in his mind at the felt he could now crush Erick in his beast body easily. Moreover, he felt that Ajax didn''t breakthrough only two minor realms but something more than that. "Now use all your trump cards before you regret dying in my hands," Ajax seriously said with mocking in his words. "Whatever trick you are using, I think it will notst much longer, Hmpf," The captain harrumphed at Ajax before continuing, "Just know that you were killed in the hands of Cortez, the mission hall''s future leader." After announcing his name, he rushed at Ajax at a great speed. Along the way, he split into two shocking Ajax greatly. ''Looks like his had awakened some skill from the ability fruit,'' Ajax thought, looking at the two Cortez''s that were running at him. "So, are you shocked now?" Cortez arrived in front of Ajax, and without attacking, he simply talked as though they were some kind of friends. However, Ajax didn''t ck and attacked the Cortez in front of him. ''sh'' His spear easily pierced through Cortez, but nothing happened to him. Before Ajax could know what was happening, he felt someone was behind him, and without any hesitation, he shouted, "Absolute Darkness." After shouting, Ajax jumped forward and turned around only to see the real Cortez was standing there rubbing his eyes. "It''s some nice skill you got there? I wonder how you got this abnormal skill?" Cortez was only rubbed his eyes for a second before asking about his ''Absolute Darkness''. "Even, if I say, it''s impossible for you to learn," Ajax scoffed at Cortez. Still, he silently thought, ''What even though I upgraded three minor realms in Spirit cultivation and two minor realms in the body cultivation, my absolute darkness onlysted for a few seconds.'' ''Looks like I need to take Darbaudr''s help for this one,'' Ajax quickly thought and contacted Darbaudr, ''Be ready, I will use another trump card. If it fails,e to my rescue.'' ''Yes, young master,'' Darbaudr immediately replied. "Why can''t I learn?" Cortez said with a smile on his face and closed his eyes. Even though he closed his eyes, his lips were muttering something. Ajax didn''t want to waste any time before rushing towards him with his Bloodspear. ''Heaven''s destroyer form.'' As soon as Ajax said that, the blood-red spear in his hands changed it''s colour to shining white, and the power exuded by it also increased a lot. When Ajax was in an 8-10 meters distance away from Cortez, he threw his spear at him. Just when the spear was about to pierce him, Cortez opened his eyes and dodged the shinning spear. "Now it''s my turn," Cortez looked at Ajax and smilingly said. ''Absolute Darkness,'' Before Cortez could say the word, he saw Ajax made a turning action with his fingers. ''Phi'' ''arrgh'' ''Aarrgh'' The spear which Cortez was dodged earlier turned around and pierced him, whereas Ajax was covered in darkness as he clutched his head and howled in pain. ''What the heck,'' Cortez and Ajax, both were shocked at each other''s skills while howling in pain. Cortez was shocked at Ajax''s control over the shinning spear, whereas Ajax was utterly shocked by the fact that Cortez just used his skill ''Absolute Darkness.'' However, there was no time for both of them as they were fighting against the pain from theirst attacks. Ajax continued to fight with the nightmares from Coetez''s ''Absolute Darkness'' skill.'' ''Swoosh'' Darbaudr didn''t waste any time and jumped from the Dragon to rescue Ajax. Chapter 229: An official summoner?

229 An official summoner?

''No need toe, I am fine. I can do this,'' However, before Darbaudr could reach the fighting location, he heard Ajax''s voice. When he heard his young master''s voice, Darbaudr stopped in his tracks. ''Why are you doing this, young master,'' Darbaudr could not understand why Ajax was taking such a huge risk. ''Because I have much bigger fights in the future,'' Ajax replied with a gritted voice. Although he didn''t understand his big future fights, he followed his order and stopped rushing towards him. As was not the only having a hard time here, Cortez, who was pierced by the shining spear, immediately took out the spear from his body and treated his own wound with medicinal pills and other techniques. Since it was not in the bloodlust spear form, it could not absorb the blood from the enemy''s body. So, soon he was able to stabilize the wound. Even though he stabilized his wound, he didn''t look good, and his face was filled with weakness. "Damn you," Cortez looked at Ajax, who was making painful noises while holding his head and cursed. Ajax was unable to hear his cursing as his head was filled with some nightmares. However, those nightmares were not as horrible as his childhood nightmare, so he was able to keep a calm mind, even the present nightmares in his head. ''So, these are nightmares from the Absolute Darkness,'' Ajax finally woke up from the nightmares and nodded his head understanding why this skill looked very powerful from outside. ''If not for my resistance to the nightmares from childhood, I would have caught in those and be confused,'' Ajax for the first time in his life felt those childhood nightmares were pleasant. "What? You came out from the skill?" Cortez was shocked at Ajax foring out that skill he just copied and asked. "Why are you surprised at me, when I came out from my own skill which was very weak inparison to my skill," Ajax mocked Cortez as he looked at him. Although he mocked him, Ajax was also shocked at Cortez who managed to heal the wound from the heaven''s destroyer spear. ''Even though I could only use 50 percent of the power form the copied skill but that should have killed since my cultivation was hight, right?'' Cortez silently thought in his head and finally felt there was something abnormal with Ajax. "Come," As both were shocked each other''s capabilities, Ajax called his heaven''s destroyer spear, whichid on the ground beside Cortez. "You really got some good weapons and skills, kid." Despite his clearly visible weakness on his face, Cortez acted strong in front of Ajax. "I have more skills than you think, hehe" Ajax scoffed at him as the reply for his earlier words. ''Swoosh'' After saying that, Ajax once again threw the spear in his hands at Cortez. This time, Cortez didn''t even try to dodge the iing spear, which rotated around itself; instead, he waved his halberd when the spear was within his reach. ''ng'' However, what Cortez expected didn''t happen when he waved his halberd at the spear. When both the weapons have shed at each other, Cortez was forced back by the force that was generated by the shing. ''Cough'' It was not a simple force that backed Cortez, but it also made him cough blood. "What the heck! Even my heaven grade halberd can''t make that damn spear stop properly," Cortez was pissed at the spear and cursed it out loud. "Hahaha," Ajaxughed when he saw that his heaven''s destroyer spear could knock him back and even make him cough blood. "It''s finally time to show my final trump card which I don''t like to use in front of others. Since you are going to die today anyway, let me use it, Haha" Cortez suppressed his inner rage and calmly said to Ajax and even made augh that looked there was a hint of anger in it. "Okay, I will see," Ajax didn''t fear as he alerted Darbaudr toe to the rescue when he senses something wrong. After saying that he would show his trump card, Cortez closed his eyes and called, "Come on out, Inanis, Demis." As soon as he called those names, two small colored lights came out of his spirit consciousness and formed two transparent beings. "What?" When he saw the transparent beings, Ajax''s eyeballs nearly popped out of his sockets because what he saw in front of him was none other than the elemental spirits. "Isn''t it wonderful? The one with the halberd is my first contracted elemental spirit, Inanis, and the one without any weapon was called Demis. Both are of wind type elemental spirits," Cortez proudly introduced his contracted elemental spirits to Ajax. Ajax didn''t pay any heed to his words as he was utterly shocked as this was his first time meeting an official summoner. Although Paulin became an official summoner with the help of the Zanath, it was a kind of forced thing. However, now he met a real official summoner, who already had two official elemental spirits in his spirit consciousness. So he was shocked, and at the same time, he was excited to know that in the Zrochester Province, there were other official summoners like him. ''Sigh...But I have to kill him,'' He shook his head and sighed. Ajax wanted to be friends with other summoners and could research more about their elemental spirits together. However, he knew that there was no chance for him as the other side was very determined to kill him. "So, you are also a summoner," Ajax asked the question in a sighing expression. "Yes, I am a summoner. Unlike you, I am an official summoner who managed to form an official contract two times," Cortez scoffed at Ajax as though he was merely an ant. It was a known fact that Ajax formed an unofficial contract with an earth elemental spirit, so Cortez scoffed at him when Ajaxpared Cortez with himself. As Cortez was busy scoffing at Ajax, some system notifications chimed in Ajax''s head. ''Ding, A new mission has been generated in the quest tab. Please check the quest tab for more details. ''A new mission? At a time like this?'' Ajax was puzzled but quickly opened the quest tab to check the mission. ''Ding, Chapter 230: Kill Cortez

230 Kill Cortez

''Ding, Mission name:- Kill Cortez as soon as possible Reward:- System upgrade Additional requirement:- Without Darbaudr''s help, kill him. Danger rating:- B Description:- Cortez has some secret techniques, so kill him as soon as possible without the help of Darbaudr. Additional rewards:- Depends on the time that the host took to kill the target. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows in surprise as this was the first mission that was forcing him to kill someone quickly. ''But, without Darbaudr''s help...'' he thought for a moment and kept that those thoughts aside and focused on Cortez, who was visibly looking tired. "By the way, I am also an official summoner, so don''t give me that look," As he said that, Ajax summoned Volcanis and Necros. Since they were his strongest elemental spirits at the moment, Ajax summoned them. "What? How can you..." "Stop with all the talk and let''s focus on the fight as I have some mission toplete after this," Ajax didn''t waste any time and rushed at Cortez to kill him as soon as possible. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' "You are very interesting, Ajax. If not for this mission which came from my own master, I would have be brothers with you. But it''s toote... Sigh," Cortez sighed as waved his halberd to stop the spear piercing from Ajax. Cortez received another surprise from Ajax when he saw that he was a dual elemental summoner with fire and dark elements, so he sighed that he had to kill such a genius. "Now, let me show you the true power," As soon as he said that Cortez''s body received some kind of power-up from one of his elemental spirits that were carrying a huge halberd. "Die," Cortez didn''t waste any time and cleaved at Ajax with his huge halberd. Ajax used his spear to defend the iing attack, but he was unable topletely defend it the impact from it, which forced him a few meters back. ''Is it a halberd dao?'' Ajax was shocked at the abilities of Cortez, who was revealing one at a time. However, with each one of these abilities, Ajax''s mindset kept on changing. Initially, he thought he was special to possess a system which was giving some cool items, and also the cultivation became easy. But, he didn''t imagine that there were others with almost the same abilities as him without a system. ''I thought I am bing strong at an incredible speed but it''s not enough,'' Ajax gritted his teeth and decided to do more ''A'' danger rating missions and level up as soon as possible. "Stop gritting your teeth and show me your true strength," Cortez looked at Ajax, who was gritting his teeth and said with a smile on his face. As Ajax and Cortez were talking, their elemental spirits started fighting using their skills. Ajax''s elemental spirits didn''t waste any time in using their ultimate skills. Volcanis used inferno to raise his all abilities, and along with the passive skill ''King of Fire,'' he was easily taking care of his opponent. Necros used his summoning skill and summoned two undeadmanders who had the same cultivation as him. With the two summoned beings taking care of an elite spiritmander realm Elemental spirit, while Necros was supporting them with is confusion ray from time to time. Overall, Ajax''s elemental spirits were able to gain the upper hand against Cortez''s elemental spirits that were having the cultivation of the Elite Elemental spiritmander realm cultivations. "Although your dual elemental spirits look strong, too bad, they didn''t reach the elite spiritmander realm yet, so they would notst much longer against my elemental spirits," Cortez smilingly said when he looked at the elemental spirits that were fighting beside them. Cortez was once again surprised by the strength disyed by Volcanis and Necros. He was more surprised by Volcanis when he saw how powerful his attacks were against his first elemental spirit, Inanis. ''He is interesting, I should find out what skills he had under his sleeve and them kill him,'' Cortez thought in his mind and decided to force Ajax''s to use all his trump cards before killing him. ''I should kill him as soon as possible and get the rewards,'' As Cortez was thinking about extending the fight, Ajax was thinking the opposite to finish the mission quicker so that he could get some good rewards. ''Abyssal bloodline,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time in using his first bloodline. As soon as he used that, his elemental spirits'' strengths increased, and the fight with their opposite elemental spirits became very easy. "Oh, herees another skill, good good," Cortez didn''t worry that his elemental spirits would lose, so didn''t take that skill seriously. However, he felt that it was a skill that was tailor-made for a summoner. Since he was an official summoner with two official elemental spirits, he knew the value of boosting the strengths of his elemental spirits in a fight. ''Where did he came from? Actually, who is he really to have that many skills and talents?'' All of a sudden, Cortez fell into a dilemma about Ajax''s origins. Since it was almost impossible for anyone in the Zrochester province to have those kinds of talents, he felt something was wrong with Ajax''s origins. There was nothing wrong with Cortez''s thoughts about Ajax''s origins after seeing his skills and talents. With his own eyes, Cortez saw that Ajax had two types of weapons: dao, a spear, and a sword. With one at a level 2?and another one was about to break through to level 2. Also, a Nightmarish skill that could affect the cultivators with one major realm higher than Ajax''s strength and a boosting skill could increase the battle prowess of all the elemental spirits. With these many talents, he could directly enter into the royal family and be one of them. ''If he pleased the king, then he could directly be the next king of the Zrochester province,'' Cortez thoughts started to wander up to the royal pce. ''Nevertheless, let me drag this fight some more to find out more of his trump cards, hehe'' Cortez stopped worrying about Ajax''s origins and focused on dragging the fight to know more of Ajax''s skill and techniques. Chapter 231: Groom selection ceremony

231 Groom selection ceremony

A random cultivator couldn''t join the royal pce, and it was much even more impossible to please the King of Zrochester province. However, there was an announcement that was not known to the general public yet and only made known to the top three sects and five main families. The announcement was that after the Champion''s contest, a groom selection ceremony would be conducted by the royal pce for Princess Daphne. Also, there were many conditions to be chosen by the royal family, and Cortez didn''t fit the main condition of that ceremony. ''Damn, I am just 12 years older than the princess, so what. Didn''t the King himself married a 20 years younger bride than himself, so why did he limit that age t only 18 years?'' When Cortez thought about the announcement, he cursed the King and the royal pce. This led to the rise of jealousy when he looked at Ajax, who had almost all of his capabilities at a very young age. So, he wanted to torture Ajax to release his anger after knowing all his trump cards. ''Inanis, Demis, increase your power but just finish it too soon,'' Cortez cunningly smiled as he ordered his elemental spirits. After hearing their summoning master''s orders through a voice transmission, both the elemental spirits nodded their heads and started to take the fight with Volcanis and Necros seriously. Slowly the advantage for Ajax''s elemental spirits decreased, and the fight between them once again bnced and ended up in the stalemate. ''He is ying me and wanted to know more of my skills,'' When Ajax saw the fight between the Elemental spirits, he understood Cortez''s intentions. "So, you want to know my other skills?" Ajax asked as he stood up from the ground and continued, "Sure, but I fear you will die right after knowing it." "Really, then show me," Cortez suppressed his jealousy, hearing those words and asked with a smile. Actually, Ajax was not joking when he said those words about the trump card. His most crucial trump card was none other than Darbaudr. If he was here, the fight would notst more than a few seconds, but Ajax was trying to finish a mission, so he could not reveal that trump card yet. ''I will use him only if I don''t have any confidence to kill Cortez,'' Ajax thought as he decided to use Darbaudr in thest. ''Beast god bloodline, activate'' without any hesitation, Ajax used his recently gained bloodline. As soon as he activated the beast god''s bloodline, his body started to transform into a beast. Within a few seconds, his body reached a height of five meters and looked more ferocious than Erick''s transformation. "What? How do you possess Erick''s beast transformation?" Cortez asked with a shocked face and looked serious at the transformed Ajax. ''Roarr'' However, since all the spirit beasts in the middle section of the Cursed WIlderness were high-level ones, they only felt fear for a second and didn''t pay any attention to Ajax''s roar. ''Is he rted to Erick? or he killed Erick and took the bloodline from him?'' Cortez thought in his head. After pondering for a moment, he concluded theter one was true as Erick was his best friend, and they grew up together from childhood. As for his first thought, two members couldn''t possess the same beast body for a beast god''s bloodline. So he directly canceled it. "Did you kill Erick," Cortez''s usual calmness disappeared from his face and asked Ajax with a fit of anger. ''Roarr'' However, Ajax roared in reply and rushed at Cortez with his huge body to finish the mission as quickly as possible. Cortez also didn''t want to drag the fight as he lost interest in Ajax when he knew that Ajax killed his best friend. He rushed towards Ajax''s huge beast body with his giant halberd and aimed it at Ajax''s neck. It was not Cortez''s first time fighting the transformed beast. He used to have regr spars with Erick and knew about the transformed beast body''s weak points. ''Cleave'' ''Puchi'' ''What?'' Ajax was shocked that he missed catching Cortez and was allowed him tond a hit on him by the halberd in his hands. Ajax really underestimated Cortez''s speed. When they were about to attack each other, Cortez''s speed increased to the point he was unable to catch up with his eyes, which led him to receive a severe attack from the halberd. Blood started toe out of Ajax''s wound that was cleaved by the halberd on his neck area. Without wasting any time, Ajax took out the water from the mini-thunder pool and drank it. He also poured some water on his wound for quick healing. As soon as he poured the water on the wound, just like magic, the wound started to heal at an incredible speed. ''What is that? It has great healing properties?'' Cortez didn''t feel shocked anymore with Ajax''s secrets. When he saw the water that was healing Ajax''s wounds, Cortez stopped his attacks and observed the wound on Ajax and tried to find out what Ajax was using. However, he was unable to find out more about the water, giving rich lightning elemental energy. ''He onlycks cultivation. If he has that, then I would have died by now,'' Cortez felt fear when he thought about Ajax''s future strength, and his thoughts on killing him became even more. ording to Cortez, except for cultivation, Ajax had everything in his space ring. ''I think, even if he can call a general realm cultivator for his help from my back I would not be surprised,'' Cortez thought in his head. Just as he was thinking about this, Cortez''s ring glowed with a red light. "Okay, ying time is over. Time to kill you hase". After seeing the light, Cortez''s expression became serious, and hurriedly said to Ajax coldly. "Huh?" Ajax was shocked to see the seriousness on Cortez''s face all of a sudden. ''Even, when he knew that I killed Erick, he was not this serious but what happened to him all of sudden,'' Ajax thought and wondered what made Cortez kill him quickly. Chapter 232: Bloodline Managemen

232 Bloodline Managemen

Cortez was much faster than before as he rushed at Ajax with his halberd. ''Swoosh'' ''Cleave'' Before he could react, Ajax was cleaved by Cortez''s halberd. However, the attack this time was much powerful than thest time as Ajax was sted away by the attack and fell down. ''I guess, I have to take Darbaudr''s help and let go of the mission, Sigh'' Ajax sighed as he was ready to ready to order Darbaudr to take care of Cortez. Before he could give his order, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him stop. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for trying hard for a mission without taking Darbaudr''s help until now. ''Ding, Since the host has more than one bloodline and tried toplete a system''s testing mission, the host will be granted with a new feature. ''Ding, The new system feature, Bloodline management, is now avable to host. ''What? System, Did I ever say I love you? Let me say now, ''I love you, system,'''' Ajax was excited at the system''s sudden notifications. ''Cleave'' However, before he could check the new system feature, Ajax received another attack from Cortez. "Twilight and Banee now," Ajax loudly shouted with his beast voice calling Twilight, which was watching the fight from the distance while flying in the air. As soon as they received the order,?Twilight and Bane rushed towards him. Both of them were much powerful than their usual cultivations as they received a boost from the Abyssal bloodline. "What? More of your trumps cards?" Cortez shook his head and didn''t waste any time as he rushed at Ajax, whose body was entirely covered with blood. Ajax knew that except Darbaudr, he could use anyone that had a spirit contract with him. So, when he wanted some time to check his new system feature, he didn''t hesitate to call Twilight and Bane. However, before Cortez could reach Ajax, Twilight was already in front of Ajax, looking at Cortez with its bloody eyes that were filled with fury. Every time, Ajax was cleaved, Twilight was filled with fury and wanted to rush. If not for Ajax stopping it from rushing, it would have already entered the fight. When Ajax ordered it toe, it didn''t waste any time and used it''s enhanced flight, and along with the boost from the bloodline, it reached Ajax in a few seconds. Bane, on the other hand, also didn''t look good. Since his summoning master dies, he would die along with him. Also, his summoning master didn''tplete his promise yet, so he had also waited for Ajax''s order. "Huh? So you got another elemental spirit. It must be an unofficial one, right? You have some great luck finding the elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world," Cortez didn''t think much about Bane, but when he looked at the angry dragon, he felt some fear in his body. Twilight used his first innate skill Dragon''s fury directly increasing its strength, whereas Bane used his Poison scythe along with the assistance of his pet ''Viper''. Soon, he started fighting Twilight and Bane with his level 2 halberd dao. As they fought, Ajax quickly used more water to clean his wound and drank it for quick healing. After that, he opened the user interface and checked the new system feature. ''Ding, System feature:- Bloodline Management Description:- The host can nowbine the bloodlines of the same level together to get a new bloodline. Note:- If the synchronization between the two bloodlines is very less, then there are very high chances of failing in the fusion of bloodlines. The host should maintain at least 50 percent of synchronization between them for a higher sess rate. ''Good feature, but I wonder how powerful the fused bloodline will be???? Ajax nodded his head the new system feature that was unlocked for his determination to fight Cortez without taking Daarbaudr''s help. ''System, what is the synchronization between the two bloodlines I currently possess,'' Ajax asked the system. ''Ding, The host has two bloodlines, Abyssal bloodline (Level 1) and Beast god''s bloodline (Level 1). ''Ding, They have about 75 percent of synchronization. "75 percent?" Ajax was surprised by that huge percent, but after thinking about those two bloodlines, he was not surprised. ''System,bine the bloodlines,'' without any hesitation, Ajax decided tobine the bloodlines. Since it was challenging to defeat Cortez with individual bloodlines, he wanted tobine them and test the upgraded bloodline on Cortez. ''Ding, Do you want tobine the bloodline? ''Yes,'' Ajax replied to the system''s warning notice. As soon as he said that he got another system notification, ''Ding, Please select the primary bloodline and secondary bloodline. ''Huh? Is there a difference if I choose randomly?'' Ajax didn''t understand what the system was asking, so he inquired about it. ''Ding, In the bloodline fusing process, the primary bloodline affects the final bloodline the most. So higher the primary bloodline, then higher will be the final bloodline. "Hmm," Ajax understood something about primary and secondary bloodlines. "Then keep Abyssal bloodline as the primary bloodline whereas secondary one will be beast god''s bloodline" Ajax didn''t waste any time selecting the primary and secondary bloodlines. ording to him, Abyssal bloodline was the most useful one for him as he was having more elemental spirits and spirit beasts now and would be having even more in the future. ''Ding, The?primary bloodline:- Abyssal bloodline The secondary bloodline:- Beast god''s bloodline Synchronization:- 75 percent ''Ding, Combing the bloodlines has started, please wait for a few minutes. After selecting the primary and secondary bloodline, some multiple holographic screens appeared in front of him, gave a detailed summary, and asked him to wait for a few minutes. ''Even if the upgraded bloodline unable to stop him, then I will let Darbaudr take care of Cortez,'' Ajax thought whilebining the bloodlines. Amidst his thoughts, he looked at the fight between his elemental spirits and Twilight with Cortez and his elemental spirits. When Ajax looked at the battle prowess of Cortez, he was shocked as his strength reached the general realm, and Twilight was barely managing against him even with its dragon''s rage. Although Twilight''s dragon''s rage could increase its strength to mid-level rank 5, it was stillcking battle experience against Cortez, so it was unable to gain the upper hand in the fight. ''Ding, Chapter 233: Combined Bloodline

233 Combined Bloodline

As Ajax watched the fight between Cortez and his summons while healing his wounds, Ajax received a system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for the sessful fusion between the bloodlines, ''Ding, A new bloodline, Abyssal beast god''s bloodline, will rece the existing bloodlines. ''Ding, Check more about it in the user interface. "Woah," Ajax was excited to hear these round of system notifications and immediately checked the user interface. In the user interface, Ajax saw a new bloodline in the ce of his previous bloodlines. He focused on it to know more about his new bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Abyssal beast god''s bloodline (Level 1) Effects:- 1) It increases all the abilities of the elemental spirits and the host''s abilities by a factor of two. 2) It increases all the abilities of the contracted spirit beasts by a factor of three. 3) Repeated usage leads to the possible mutations to the spirit beasts. Limitations:- Need at least one day to once again use the bloodline after activating it. Side-effects: If used before 24 hours, there are higher chances of the host going insane. Description:- A fusion bloodline that was formed bybining an abyssal bloodline and the beast god''s bloodline. "Oh heavens, what''s with the effects," Ajax was continuously smiling from ear to ear when he saw the effects of the new bloodline. "Roarrr" As he was checking his new bloodline, he heard Twilight''s painful cry, which was fighting against Cortez. Ajax was shocked to see the Twilight, which was maintaining a stalemate with him earlier, was now at a full disadvantage and continuously received attacks from Cortez. Not only Twilight, but all his other elemental spirits were at a disadvantage against their opponents. ''Ding, The enemy has consumed a strength potion along with poison resisting pills. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits and spirit beast lost the boost from the abyssal bloodline. After seeing the system notifications, Ajax understood the reason why his summons was at a disadvantage all of a sudden. ''Abyssal beast god''s bloodline, activate,'' he didn''t waste any time activating his new bloodline. As soon as he activated it, all the elemental spirits that were being forced back stopped suddenly, and the energy in them started rising. Among all the elemental spirits that were present on the battlefield, Volcanis strength reached the same level as he had when he was boosted with the Abyssal bloodline and gained an advantage against Inanis. Necros''s summons also became powerful, and along with his assistance from the back, they were in afortable position in the fight with Demis. Although he was only having level 1 spiritmander cultivation, with his level 2 scythe dao, he was barely able to stop Cortez''s attacks before gravely wounded by Cortez. The reason for his disadvantage was Cortez swallowed some poison resistance pills when he saw Bane''s first attack without any hesitation, so Bane was unable to use his most important element in the fight. When Twilight saw that Bane saved its life and was gravely wounded for its attack, it felt rude to him earlier when he was mounting on it. ''You are the worst type of elemental spirit I hate among all the spirits. Although you are an auxiliary elemental spirit, even if your poison elemental spirits begged me to form a contract with them, I would not even take a nce at them. I wonder, how he formed a contract with you,'' Cortez mocked the gravely injured Bane as he rushed towards Bane in an attempt to kill him before taking care of Twilight. As he was running towards Bane, he sensed that Bane''s power is increasing even though he was gravely injured, so Cortez increased his speed even more and decided to kill him before he could get that iing energypletely. ''Swoosh'' ''Tudd'' Just when Cortez''s halberd attack was about tond on Bane, a silhouette that looked like a huge wine mmed into him and sted him into a nearby boulder, which was broken as soon as he was mmed into it. "What is that?" After a few seconds, from the pile of broken boulder pieces, Cortez stood up with wounds all over his body and looked at the thing that attacked him. ".." However, he was shocked when he saw the attacker and became speechless. "How is this possible? How many times will it increase its strength?" Cortez asked as he suppressed his shock. The reason behind his shock was that the attacker was none other than the dragon that he wounded severely earlier. However, it''s strength became more powerful than it was injured now, and just with its tail, Cortez had swung away into a boulder. As soon as it received the boost from the bloodline that could increase its abilities by the factor of three, it immediately used its dragon tail to st Cortez away and helped Bane. ''p p.'' "Well done, Twilight. This is how you should all be, helping each other," Ajax didn''t give any reply to Cortez; instead, he pped and praised the dragon and Bane for helping each other. ''Nods'' Twilight looked at Ajax and nodded its massive head at him. As for Bane, his face was unhappy, and he seemed like he was thinking about something and didn''t hear Ajax. ''Stop thinking about his words, Bane. Many people fear hearing your name and you are stronger than many other elemental spirits,'' Ajax knew what Bane was thinking, so he tried to console him. However, Ajax was never that good at consoling someone, so his constion didn''t work on Bane. Twilight, which was beside Ajax, looked at Bane and then Ajax. After looking at Ajax, it shook its head for who knows why and then it seriously gazed at Cortez, who was thinking about its sudden increase in the strength. ''Although all the elemental spirits strength was boosted to the same level as the previous time, this dragon''s strength increased more than that,'' Cortez looked back the dragon and thought. ''Damn it, it almost reached my strength and it will more time to kill it along with others and I don''t have that much time now,'' Cortez''s face became serious, and he seemed to be in some kind of rush. ''I think unless I use my final technique, it will be impossible to finish these pests and join others for the meeting,'' Cortez calmed down a little and looked at Ajax and his team with a cunning smile. Chapter 234: Enlightenmen

234 Enlightenmen

''But, I will be weak after that technique and can''t show my dominance in the meeting,'' Cortez continued thinking, ''It''s all because of this brat''s annoying techniques.'' When he looked at Ajax, his cunning smile became a cruel one and didn''t think much and decided to used his final technique to kill Ajax and his team quickly to join some kind of meeting. "Inanis and Demis,e and join me," As soon as he decided, he called his contracted elemental spirits and closed his eyes. When they heard their summoning master''s order, they abandoned their fight with Ajax''s elemental spirits and merged with Cortez''s body. Just as they entered his body, his cultivation officially broke through to the General realm, and it didn''t stop there ut continued to increase one minor real after another. Within only a few seconds, Cortez''s cultivation reached Level 3 in the general realm, and his battle prowess crossed more than that realm. "What in the holy heavens¡­," Ajax was shocked to see Cortez and his elemental spirits merged and became one entity with a higher cultivation realm and battle prowess. After the merging process waspleted, Cortez moved towards Ajax at a very high speed. ''He is using his wind elemental spirits to increase his speed,'' Ajax quickly found the reason behind his high speed, but he didn''t felt any fear since Twilight had the same battle prowess with the dragon''s fury along with the boost from his new bloodline. ''As long as I guide Twilight against him, then it will be an easy fight,'' Ajax thought as he jumped on to Twilight and looked at Bane, "Bane, look here. See how I defeat with poison." Even though they were in the middle of the fight, Ajax didn''t forget Bane''s depression over Cortez''s words, so he said some words to Bane before rushing towards Cortez with Twilight. Although it was not Bane''s first time hearing the words that Cortez said, those words made him depressed all of a sudden since it was his first time hearing those words from a human. However, with Ajax''s words, he felt a little better and looked at the Ajax with a happy expression. ''Cleave'' ''ng'' Cortez used a weird cleaving technique that was different from the previous time. However, it was blocked by Twilight''s wings that were covered by dragon scales. ''Twilight, m him with your another wing, now,'' As soon as the attack was blocked, Ajax didn''t waste any time and ordered the dragon to attack Cortez, who was shocked with the way that Twilight blocked his halberd cleave. ''m'' Twilight hit Cortez with another wing that made him mmed into the ground. ''Now, Dragon tail and finish it with Poison breath,'' Ajax jumped from Twilight''s back and walked towards Bane after he finished giving his orders to Twilight. ''Thud'' ''Swoosh'' haThe reason Ajax asked Twilight to finish the fight with a poison breath because he wanted to show Bane how powerful the poison element could be if used properly. As for the poison resistance pills that Cortez swallowed earlier, Ajax didn''t bother with them, since Twilight''s poison is a very high-level one, so he had confidence that Cortez would be poisoned for sure and die quick. "Did you see that, thest attack ''Poison breath''," Ajax pointed at Twilight that was releasing its ''poison breath'' attack onto Cortez''s body and said to Bane. Seeing the ''Poison breath'' attack, Bane was shocked at the dense poisonous air that was released from the dragon''s mouth. As he was observing the poison breath, a sh of light came from the sky and fell on him, and Bane''s body started shining as though he was having enlightenment from the heavens. When he saw this phenomenon, Ajax didn''t dare disturb Bane and allowed him to gain something from it. It was a rare chance for someone to get enlightened by the heavens, as it required luck and the proper understanding of something that they wanted to get enlightened with. So, Ajax didn''t disturb him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, your elemental spirit is gaining enlightenment into the way of poison. ''Way of poison? It looks like his poisons will be even more poisonous from now, I guess,'' When Ajax saw the system notification, the term ''Way of poison'' caught his attention, and he guessed about its use. Soon, the light from the sky disappeared, and Bane opened his eyes that shined brightly for a moment. "Bane, how is it?'' Ajax asked Bane about the enlightenment with a small smile on his face. "Thanks, summoning master, I understood now," Bane bowed and thanked Ajax as he understood more about poisons. "I was wrong this entire time and I belittled myself hearing the mocking of others from the time I was born," Bane said about his past experience of how he was bullied and mocked by other auxiliary elemental spirits and continued saying, "I don''t know when but I started hating my own element and wanted to mutate to another element." "After seeing the poison breath from Twilight, I understood how powerful and potent poison can be if used properly," When he said thest words, Bane was excited as though he learned the most important lesson in his life. "Good, that you finally understood. There are no useless elements in nature only the way we look at them made them stronger and weaker," Ajax nodded his head and exined his views on the elements in nature. Bane nodded his head in reply and agreed with Ajax. After giving his lecture about elements of nature, Ajax looked at Bane''s information to find the changes that urred in him after the enlightenment. Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him that was showing Bane''s information. He didn''t waste much time looking at the data he already knew; instead, he looked a new section ''Enlightened''. In that section, he found what he was searching for and concentrated on the term. ''Ding, Way of Poison:- Amon dao for poison type users, but they rarely gained it. Effects:- Even amon poison could be the most potent poison in the hands of the uses. "Excellent," Ajax was unable to hold the excitement and shouted out loud, but soon he suppressed it when he saw all the other elemental spirits were looking at him with confused faces. ''Rumble'' As he was busy suppressing his excitement, he heard a low rumbling sound from the ce when Cortez was crushed into the ground earlier. Soon, a figure that was entirely covered in the wounds stood up from the pile of rocks. ''What the hell! He is still alive after that many attacks from Twilight?'' Ajax was shocked to see the heavily injured Cortez stood up from the ground. Never in his dreams, Ajax thought that Cortez would still be alive after that many wounds and a very powerful poisonous attack. ''What should I do?'' After Twilight''s poison breath, Ajax deactivated his Abyssal beast god''s bloodline since he thought that was enough to kill Cortez, so he didn''t have any trumps cards now except for Darbaudr. ''Should I call him,'' Ajax thought in his head about calling Darbaudr, but he shook his head as he thought of something. Chapter 235: Escape talisman

235 Escape talisman

''He looks weak and his face seems like he was heavily affected by Twilight''s poison''s breath, I can still kill him on my own,'' When Ajax observed Cortez''s face, he thought he still had chances to kill Cortez, so he decided to see what Cortez does first before striking him down. "Good good good," Cortez said to Ajax in a weak voice that was barely audible. "You are the first person to reduce me to this pathetic state but don''t worry I will pay you back what you have done to me with an interest," Even with all the wounds and being poison, Cortez coldly smiled at Ajax and continued in his weak voice, "As for now, I am going." After he said those words, he took out a blue talisman from his space ring. When Ajax saw the blue talisman in Cortez''s hands, Ajax didn''t waste any time and rushed towards him in an attempt to stop him from activating that talisman. It was a talisman that Ajax was able to immediately recognize as he saw that talisman in the Auction za in the mercenary squad''s market square. However, it''s price was very high and also, Ajax did not have any interest in the item at that particr time as he was eagerly waiting to check his new feature. The talisman''s name was escape talisman that could teleport the activated person to a random ce in the radius of 10 kilometers range. So when he saw that Cortez was nning to escape, Ajax hurriedly rushed towards Cortez. However, before he could reach Cortez, the talisman was activated, and Cortez disappeared from his ce. "Damn it, Damn it," Ajax loudly cursed when he failed to catch Cortez, who was almost within his reach. "Now, he knows all about me and my elemental spirits. I should not have acted on my own and should have asked Darbaudr to take care of him," Ajax became angry at himself for feeling confident in himself. ''Sigh¡­ if he says about my abilities to the assassin sect, I wonder what would happend?'' He suppressed his anger and sighed. ''Whatever, in the worst case scenario, I will hide in the Cursed Wilderness and not be burden to Hazegroove mercenary squad members,'' Ajax thought about what to do in the worst-case scenario. Even though he knew that Edmond could help him, but if the assassin sect informs his abilities to other sects and main families, it will be more troublesome for Edmond and others. So he decided to hide in the Cursed Wilderness if assassin sect was really adamant about recruiting him into their sect. As Ajax was pondering about the future possibilities, somewhere around from that ce, a tattered clothed man who looked like he was in histe twenties with wounds all over his body, weakly walked towards a tree to rest. He was none other than Cortez, who escaped from Ajax by activating the escape talisman. ''Swoosh'' As he was cursing Ajax and walking towards the tree, he heard someone moving behind him. "Who?" he quickly became alert and turned around to look at the ce where the sound came from earlier. However, there was nothing in there, so he shook his head, thinking it must be some spirit beast and continued stumbling towards the tree. "Hello," Just as he was about to sit, Cortez heard someone was greeting him with a rough voice. When he heard the rough voice all of a sudden, he was scared witless and hurried looked at his surroundings. Still, he was unable to see anyone, and his fear increased even more. "Why are looking at your sides, when I am above you?" Instinctively, he looked above to only a hideous looking barbarian that was smiling at him. Seeing the smile on Darbaudr''s face, sweat rolled down from Cortez''s face. "Who are you?" Cortez suppressed his fear and asked the Barbarian who leisurely sat on the tree and looked down at him with a smile. "It''s not important now. However, I need to take you to meet some," After finishing his words, Darbaudr jumped from the tree and knocked Cortez down. Catching the unconscious Cortez, Darbaudr put him on his shoulder and rushed towards the direction he came from at an incredible speed. ...¡­ "Where is this Darbaudr went to? Not even replying to me?" Ajax looked at the area where Darbaudr was supposed to station, but even after calling him through his spirit imprint, Darbaudr didn''t reply to him, making him somewhat anxious. "Is he fighting someone? Or blocked by someone''s barrier?" Ajax continued to think about the possibilities of Darbaudr, not giving him a reply. He slowly walked towards the Twilight that was resting on the ground as he pondered. After Cortez escaped using the escape talisman, Ajax summoned back all his elemental spirits to rest in the inner world except for Twilight. He kept it outside to apany him for some time until Darbaudres back. "You fought great today, twilight," Ajax patted the huge dragon head thatid on the ground. ''Grr grr'' Twilight replied with its eyes closed, enjoying the patting from Ajax''s hand. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' "Who?" Ajax was about to sit beside Twilight when a burly silhouette came rushed towards him suddenly and threw a body in front of him. "Sorry young master, it took some time for me to find the ce where this one is teleported," the burly silhouette bowed in front of Ajax and replied to Ajax. "Uff...Don''te like that once again," Ajax said to Darbaudr while heaving a sigh of relief. When he saw Darbaudr''s face all of a sudden, Ajax was almost scared witless, so he said those words first without wasting any time. "Yes young master," Darbaudr nodded his head and sheepishlyughed, which seemed even more hideous on his face. "You caught Cortez?" Only now, he focused on the body that wasid on the ground and asked. "Yes young master," the barbarian answered. "Good," Ajax praised Darbaudr and took out some mini thunder pool''s water before sshing on Cortez. "Huh? Where am I?" Cortez slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Chapter 236: Cocoon

236 Cocoon

"What? How is this possible?" When he looked at the familiar face in front of him, Cortez was shocked and immediately stood up to escape. However, he forgot that his body was entirely covered in wounds and fell down on the ground as soon as he stood up. "Sigh¡­ why are you running?" Ajax sighed when he looked at Cortez''s attempt to escape. "How did Ie here? Wait, I remember now. Some barbarian knocked me out and I don''t know what happened to me afterwards," Cortez thought how he came here and remembered the Barbarian''s hideous face. "Why is he bowing to you? who are you really," When he looked at Barbarian who was bowing to Ajax. Cortez was shocked and asked Ajax. "Who am I? I am a simple mercenary," Ajax replied with a smile on his face. "Don''t joke with me. How can you have a general realm cultivator as your servant?" Cortez didn''t believe Ajax''s words and asked him coldly. Before taking the mission to kill Ajax, Cortez was given information about Ajax. In that data, Ajax only had an elitemander realm Barbarian as his servant, but the barbarian that was present here was having a cultivation of around level 5 of the general realm. So he thought this barbarian was another servant of Ajax. "Okay, I will say the truth now, I am from another province and my parents forced me to cultivate in this Zrochester province and ordered me to not return home until I became a king realm cultivator¡­.sigh," Ajax started some story and said to Cortez. "And, he was the servant that was sent to protect me in this province," Ajaxughed inside his heart when he said the story; however, he had a serious expression on his face that made Cortez almost believe him. ''Ding, Mission name:- Kill Cortez. Mission status:-?Failed. Reason:- Due to the intervention of Darbaudr. As he as ying with Cortez, Ajax received a system notification of his previous mission. "Sigh...it has some good rewards but now...," Ajax sighed, looking at the mission status and felt sad. ''Nevermind, I hope the system gives more mission with good rewards,'' He stopped feeling regret over the failed mission and looked at Cortez. "Please don''t kill me, I will follow you for the rest of my life and do what you say,"?Seeing the smile on Ajax''s face, Cortez felt goosebumps all over his body with the fear. "Really, Okay," Ajax nodded his head and turned to look at Twilight as though he was asking it what to do. In reply to Ajax, Twilight shook its head disapproving of Ajax''s decision. "Sorry Cortez, even my Twilight is not agreeing to my decision and wants to kill you. So at least try to be a good man in your next life," Ajax''s right hand turned into a demon w as it pierced through Cortez''s heart. Earlier, he joked with Ajax, that even if Ajax got a general realm cultivator as his assistance, he would not be surprised. However, he was not only surprised but also shocked when he saw the general realm Barbarian as Ajax''s servant. ''Ding, Killed a special peak elitemander realm cultivator The host gained 3000 units of the essence of nature. As soon as he killed Cortez with demon w, his shadow clone entered into the dead body and absorbed Cortez''s blood and shadow. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness ispleted, filled with the essence of nature. ''Ding, Choose a target to transfer the extra units of the essence of nature. "Huh? Full already? Transfer to Spirus," Ajax was surprised for a moment, and without any dy, he selected his life elemental spirit, Spirus, to transfer the essence of nature. Among his first batch of elemental spirits, Spirus was the only one who still remained below the elemental spiritmander realm, so he chose her without hesitation. Just as he chose her, she came out of his spirit consciousness with a green halo around her, and the essence of nature continuously transferred from him into her. The process took ce for a few moments before the green halo around her started bing brighter with each passing second. After another few seconds, Ajax was unable to see her due to the bright green light. ''Looks like 3000 units of the essence of nature is not enough for her to break through,'' Just when he thought that Spirus would break through to spiritmander realm, he felt the energy surrounding her started decreasing and hurriedly sent more essence of nature from his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Extra 1000 units are transferred. ''Ding, . . . ''Ding, Only 100 units are left in the host''s spirit consciousness. The transfer of the essence of nature from Ajax''s spirit consciousness to Spirus continued until only 100 units were left in Ajax''s spirit consciousness. Ajax didn''t hesitate to transfer all his essence of nature to Spirus as he wanted her to be strong as soon as possible so that she could heal his summons. After hearing that he only had 100 units of the essence of nature, Ajax stopped the transfer, not because he was afraid of emptying his spirit consciousness; instead, he felt it was enough for her to break through to the elemental spiritmander. Soon the green halo became a cocoon that covered Spiruspletely shocking Ajax. "What happened?" seeing the simple egg-shaped cocoon, Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect it. ''Ding, Due to the direct transfer of the host''s essence of nature, Spirus triggered a mutation. "What? A mutation?" Ajax was surprised to see the system notification in front of him. "What kind of mutation? Is it going to change its life element?" Ajax hurriedly asked the system as he wanted Spirus to have that life element. ''Ding, The host need not worry, you will know when shees out of the cocoon. "Okay," Ajax rubbed the back of his head and shook his head. He was excited and anxious at the same time when he heard the mutation, so he didn''t think clearly earlier. "System, do you know how much time will it take for Spirus toe out of the cocoon?" Ajax asked the system, but the system gave no reply to him. Seeing that system was not giving him any reply, he stopped bothering it and looked at the cocoon and moved towards it. Chapter 237: Darbaudrs elemental affinity

237 Darbaudr''s elemental affinity

After Ajax went near to it, he carefully observed the cocoon, which had small patches of green color on it. ''It looked beautiful,'' He only observed it without touching it for a moment before slowly caressed it. ''It smooth and soft,'' Ajax thought the cocoon must be hard from the looked, however to his surprise, it was quite the opposite. "Young master, although it looks soft, it could even defend attacks from an elitemander realm," When he saw how careful Ajax was touching the cocoon, the barbarian could not help but help it to Ajax. "Huh? Really?" Ajax was surprised and looked at Darbaudr and asked, "Is it that strong?" "Yes, young master, I once saw a simr thing that happened back in my home province but that elemental spirit was only at an elemental spirit soldier realm and it was able to withstand the attacks of amander realm cultivator," Darbaudr exined about what he saw in his province. "It''s a good thing then," When he heard that, Ajax was excited and curious for Sprius toe out of the cocoon to see her changes. "Even if it is that strong, let me store it in the inner world," Ajax didn''t want to take a chance, and he stored it quickly for the safe side. "By the way Darbaudr, how did you manage to find out the exact location of Cortez in the Cursed Wilderness," After storing the cocoon in his inner world, Ajax asked Darbaudr. Even though Darbaudr was strong, it was impossible to catch Cortez in a short time, so Ajax wanted to know what secret Darbaudr had that helped him catch Cortez. "It''s not a secret, young master. I have more affinity with space element than any other elements," Darbaudr slowly revealed his elemental affinity. "Wow, you are awesome Darbaudr," Ajax praised Darbaudr when he heard the barbarian had space elemental affinity. It was a rare thing to have space elemental affinity than possessing amon dual elemental affinity. Also, the most important thing was it was very hard to reach a higher realm cultivation state with space elemental affinity. ''He reached almost King realm with his space elemental affinity. I wonder how powerful he would be when he breakthroughs to the King realm,'' Ajax thought and became excited as he one act of kindness gave him a loyal follower. ''I think it is true that the heavens won''t abandon a good person like me. I should do more good deeds in the future, hahaha'' Ajax decided to do more good deeds from now on andughed in his heart. As he was praising himself, Darbaudr exined, "Since I have space elemental affinity, I am very sensitive to the spatial fluctuations and such that I was able to find him quickly." "Oh," Ajax nodded his head and thought, ''Maybe because of his space elemental affinity, he was able to travel between the provinces.'' ... Somewhere in the outer section of the Cursed wilderness, ''Swoosh'' A middle-aged man with an average build was running at an incredible speed and searched for something while he was at it. "Where are you Ajax?" As he was running, the middle-aged man continuously muttered the same sentence again and again. The middle-aged man was none other than Edmond, who was searching for Ajax. "Huh?" Edmond suddenly stopped when he saw some silhouettes that looked familiar. "Who are you?" As soon as Edmond stopped his running, a young man from the group of silhouettes aksed Edmond raising his weapon at Edmond. "Little six, lower your weapon. Otherwise, you will die for angering him by pointing your weapon at him," Before Edmond could say anything, a melodious voice came from behind the young man who questioned Edmond with his weapon. "Big sister Rosa," The young man lowered his weapon and turned to look at a woman in herte twenties who stopped him. That woman was non-other than Rosa, the captain of the number 2 mercenary squad, ''Blood rose.'' "Long time no see, Edmond," Rosa looked at Edmond and politely greeted him. "Yes, it''s been a long time," Edmond nodded his head and asked, "Did you see a young man around 16 years old in this outer section of the cursed wilderness?" "You mean Ajax?" Rosa asked with her melodious voice. "Yes. wait, how did you know I was looking for him? What did you do to him?" Edmond nodded his head unconsciously but suddenly became aggressive and asked her some questions with a serious voice. While he was asking those questions, the energy from his body unconsciously came out and suppressed everyone that present around him. "We don''t know, we just met him when we entered the Cursed Wilderness," Just when everyone thought they were going to die, their squad captain, who was barely able to manage the energy from Edmond, said while gritting her teeth. When he saw Rosa''s pitiful state, Edmond retracted his energy back into his body and nodded his head as though he believed her words. "But, how did you know I was searching for him?" Even though he believed her words, Edmond still asked her in a cold voice. "T..that is," Rosa didn''t answer Edmond directly; instead, she looked at her subordinates before saying, "I saw him in Ajax." As soon as she said those words, Edmond''s expression became somewhat soft. "So, everyone from your squad saw Ajax, right?" Edmond looked at the Blood rose squad members and asked her. "Yes, But what are you nning to do?" Rosa became anxious when she heard Edmond''s question, and hurriedly asked. "You don''t need to be anxious. I am no longer that angry Edmond you knew in the past," Edmond shook his head when he looked the anxiousness on Rosa''s face. "Phew, then?" Rosa''s heaved a sigh of relief at Edmond''s words and asked him. "I need a favor from your squad?" Edmond slowly asked Rosa. "Sure, as long as it is reasonable, I and my squad members will do it," Rosa replied Edmond without any hesitation. "Can you ask your squad members to split up and search for Ajax?" Edmond requested Rosa and looked at Rosa for her answer. Chapter 238: The Third Elder Sighs

238 The Third Elder Sighs

Since everyone from her squad had seen Ajax''s face, he requested Rosa to look after Ajax in the Cursed Wilderness, which would help him finding Ajax sooner. "Sure," Rosa didn''t think much before agreeing to his request without any hesitation. "You heard the request of the Hazegroove mercenary squad''s captain request, so you have to give your all," After she agreed, Rosa turned around and loudly said to her squad members. "Woah, its Captain Edmond," "He is requesting help from us," When they heard it was Hazegroove mercenary squad''s captain, who was requesting their help, everyone became excited and discussed some minor details before rushing in separate directions to search for Ajax. Although they were the squad members of the number 2 mercenary squad, they were excited because, if they help Edmond now, he would help them and their squad when needed. So they didn''t ask for any rewards and immediately started their search forming two small teams of three men and two women. Soon, everyone left, leaving Edmond and Rosa behind. "Sorry for my earlier rudeness," Edmond apologized for his earlier behaviour. "No need to apologize, I know why you became angry. I should have given my reply properly," Rosa shook her head and asked Edmond not to apologize. "Thanks for helping me, Rosa. Activate this talisman if you or your squad members find Ajax," Edmond thanked Rosa and gave her a talisman before sprinting in a specific direction. ''Please take care of yourself, Big brother,'' After Edmond left, Rosa silently muttered, seeing the running silhouette in the distance. At the same time, her eyes were moistened, and her face was filled with worry. After a few moments, she suppressed all her emotions and ran in another direction. ¡­.. "We have to find that Ajax before any of the other Hall disciples would find him," "Yes, and master also clearly gave orders to kill the other halls disciples, if theye in our way," "Nevertheless, we should hope that we don''t encounter other hall disciples," "But, senior brother, why everyone Hall leader was so adamant on killing this Ajax guy," "Yes, senior brother. Isn''t it enough to send some low-level teams to kill him, why bother sending the top teams of every hall," At another ce in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness, a group of masked disciples talked as they ran towards the middle section of the Wilderness. "It is a very important mission that must havee from some high-level cultivator or organization. But who cares about all that. We finish the mission and take the reward for our efforts," the masked disciple, who was leading the remaining masked disciples, replied them with a chuckle and continued to lead them. Except for weapons hall, the remaining halls sent their number 1 team to kill Ajax. Among those 11 teams, Ajax already took care of two teams, and the remaining nine teams were still searching for Ajax. Without knowing to Ajax, he became the most searched person in the Cursed Wilderness. As for him, he waszing, looking for any suspicious or mysterious things from the back of twilight. He was trying to find the reason for the appearance of the rank four spirit beasts in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness toplete his mission. Behind him, Darbaudr also looked for something that looked suspicious on the orders of Ajax. ''Also, where are the demon servants that were supposed to be in the Cursed Wilderness. I think that Mercenary squad received some wrong intel,'' Along the way, Ajax suddenly that of the demon servants and the bounty missions that the Mercenary squad issued. From the time he entered the Cursed Wilderness with Paulin to now, Ajax didn''t find a single demon servant and thought that information about Demon servants'' appearance was wrong. From time to time, he discussed something with Darbaudr and continued searching for the reason. "Young master, there..," "I saw, hehe," Before Darbaudr could finish his sentence, Ajax nodded his head with a chuckle. Instead of finding the reason for the appearance of the spirit beasts in the outer section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax saw a group of masked disciples and instantly recognized them as assassin sect''s disciples. "They must be looking for me, go and say hello in my name," Ajax didn''t want to waste any time with those assassin sect disciples and ordered Darbaudr to kill all of them. "Sure, young master," Darbaudr replied to Ajax before disappearing form twilight''s back. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''trring'' Ajax only saw some shes of Darbaudr when he moved at them and killed them. Within a few seconds, Darbaudr appeared behind Ajax and sat as though he did nothing. ''It''s good to have a high-level follower,'' Ajax thought in his head and continued his search. ..... In the assassin sect''s mission hall, "How can this happen? Just how?" the third elder, who was the mission hall leader,?loudly shouted as he looked at the broken jades in front of him. "What happened, master?" A young man around 18 years old, behind the third elder, worriedly asked when he saw his master shout loudly. "Someone killed your Eldest senior brother, Cortez, and his team," The third elder said with an angry face. "What?" the young man was shocked and asked, "Isn''t the eldest senior brother''s team was stronger than Braylon''s team?" Also, doesn''t he have escape talismans with him?" "I know that Caprice, not only those talismans, he also has many secrets that even I don''t know," The third elder''s face looked even more ugly thinking about his first and favourite disciple who had many talents. "Then who would kill him before he could activate his escape talismans," Caprice was not really close with Cortez, but he admired Cortez very much for his fighting style and techniques. However, when he heard that someone killed his idol, Caprice felt sad and thought about the killer''s strength to kill Cortez before he could activate the talisman. "Also, do you know Cortez had a technique to copy others skills, and he said he would give it to you after this mission," The third elder sighed when he said those words to Caprice carr. "What?" Chapter 239: Cortezs background

239 Cortez''s background

"What?" Caprice carr shouted when he heard his master''s words. Caprice felt shocked and hated Cortez''s killer to his very core. Cortez became famous for his secret technique, which he showed when he entered the sect. "Another thing, Cortez has rtions with the headquarters. Now my biggest fear is how should I inform them that he was killed by someone in the Cursed Wilderness," The third elder became even more aged when he thought about it. "He has rtions with the headquarters?" Caprice became shocked once again and came to a sudden realization, ''No wonder, no one tried to steal that technique from him.'' Cortez joined the assassin sects just like a normal cultivator, along with Erick. Both of them showed some powerful techniques and were easily recruited by the sect. However, Cortez''s coping technique piqued the interest of the upper echelon of the assassin sect. When they saw Cortez''s technique, they werepeted for one against another to take him under their wing. However, to their surprise, he chose the third elder as his master. Many other elders sent someone to kill Cortez, but all the members they sent were killed mysteriously, and afterward, they got a secret message from the headquarters to note in the way of Cortez ever again. From then onwards, no one dared to bother Cortez and started to please him with many gifts. "Caprice, you go and cultivate. I will do what it needs to be done," The third elder looked Caprice and ordered him to cultivate. Since he was participating in the Champion''s contest, the third elder wanted him to be as much powerful as possible. "But, master.." "No buts, just focus on your cultivation and Champion''s contest," Before Caprice could say anything, the third elder interjected him. "Ok master," without a choice, Caprice left the mission hall and went to his residence to cultivate. ''Was he killed in that meeting he regrly attends every month? Or was there a misunderstanding in exchanging their items in th meeting?'' After Caprice left the mission hall, the third elder''s thoughts shed at lightning speed and stopped at something called ''Meeting.'' After Cortez became his disciple, he came to know that Cortez was someone from the headquarters and didn''t force Cortez to reveal his secrets and gave full freedom to him and took care of him. Due to that, Cortez started sharing some things about him, and among them, ''Meeting'' was one of Cortez''s secrets. ''ording to him, the meeting was between some prodigies of the Zrochester province who meet regrly at a particr time to exchange their knowledge of items,'' The third elder tried to remember about the meeting that Cortez mentioned. ''Aaghhhh'' ''who dare to kill my disciples,'' just as he was pondering about a n, the third elder heard an angry yell that was familiar. Soon, he came out and looked in the medicinal hall''s direction and tried to find out what had happened. However, he didn''t hear any more sounds from the medicinal hall. So, he shook his head and returned into his mission hall. "Looks like someone killed the fifth elder''s disciples also," Along the way, he thought about the words he first heard from the medicinal hall. "I think, someone was targeting all the disciples of the assassin sect," The third elder''s face became serious when he thought of this possibility. Earlier, he managed to find out that someone in the Cursed Wildernesspletely annihted the first elder''s number 1 team. Next, his own disciples were killed, and now even the fifth elder''s disciples were killed. When he connected all the dots, he came to that possibility. "Who is behind all of this? Sects or the five main families? I should inform this to sect master quickly," The third elder hurriedly stood up and went towards the sect master''s residence. "Wait a second. Since all my disciples are inside the sect, I will let other halls receive some damage before informing the sect master, hehe" Before he could exit his mission hall''s exit, the third elder stopped all of a sudden and cunningly smiled and returned back to his room in the mission hall. After entering into his room, he kept his ears alert to catch some of the other hall leaders'' angry shouts to test his theory. He didn''t wait for much time before he heard the raged voice of the fourth elder. One after another, elders shouted at the loss of their disciples at regr intervals. Hearing them, the third elder forgot his own loss and startedughing. "Hehe, all the elders lost their main team, but why I didn''t hear the second elder''s voice?" After a few hours of hearing the angry shouts, the third elder counted all the elder''s voices he heard and thought about the second elder. ''This old second didn''t send his disciples out of the sect, I guess,'' The third elder concluded and shook his head. Among all the elders, he wanted to hear the second elder''s angry cry as he had some bad blood with him in the past. "Now, I will inform the sect master," With that thought, he walked towards the sect master''s residence. ..... "Dman that assassin sect, how may team did they sent to kill me? Also, all of them were very powerful," Ajax''s rage towards the assassin sect increased with each team he annihted on his way. "Nevertheless, I became very rich from all the space rings that Darbaudr collected after killing them," After killing a team, Darbaudr would collect all the space rings and hand it to Ajax. As for Ajax, he would leisurely check each space ring''s insides and transfer the valuables into his inventory or inner world. Among all the pile of space rings, he had collected, only Cortez and Erick was filled with various items that made Ajax excited. "It''s no wonder, robbing is the easiest way to bing rich," Ajax thought as he looked at the fight that waspleted just a few moments ago. After killing them, as usual, Darbaudr collected the space rings from the dead bodies and jumped onto Twilight''s back, handing the loot to Ajax. Chapter 240: Justice

240 Justice

"Please give me some rare items instead of spirit stones," Ajax prayed as he checked the space rings that were given to him by Darbaudr. "Waste" "Waste" . . . "Please, at least this final space ring should have some rare thing in it," all the space rings he checked only had spirit stones and other basic things. So, he prayed even more for thatst space ring in his hand. "Damn it, where is my luck?" Ajax cursed, looking at the sky when he saw that the final space ring had nothing in it. Even the spirit stones were not present in it. "Nevermind, I will once again look at the items I gained from Cortez," He stopped bothering about the empty space ring and took out Cortez''s space ring to console himself from depression. From the space ring, Ajax took out some papers with mysterious symbols on it. ''Ding, Item name:- Escape talisman (Quantity:-3) Description:- A talisman that can teleport the person who activated it to a random location within a radius of 10 km around him. As soon as he looked at it, the information about the papers appeared on the holographic screen. "Haha," Ajax was neither surprised nor shocked; he was only excited when he once again check the talisman. ''With these talismans, I can easily escape when facing a high realm cultivator,'' Ajax thought in his head and took out the next item. ''Ding, Item name:- Duplication (Cultivation technique) Grade:- Low-level heaven grade Description:- A technique, when learned, can help the user to copy the ability or skill of the opponent with a 50 percent power. "This is the technique that Cortez used to copy my ''Absolute Darkness.'' It is good, but it won''t be any help," Even though Ajax felt that technique was good; still, he thought it wouldn''t be effective against high realm cultivators. ''I can gift it others,'' Ajax decided to give this technique to others. "And herees the next item that piqued my interest the most," Ajax slowly took out a small red coloured stone that was nearly simr to a spirit stone. ''Ding, Item name:- A dimensional key Description:- A key that can be used to enter a dimensional crevice at a particr day from a particr ce. Mostly used to conduct secret transactions and meetings. Note:- Whenever the key holder is near the dimensional crevice, the key will shine brightly. When he saw that information on the dimensional key for the first time, he felt excited and started to hold it in his hand to find out the dimensional crevice. Since he was searching the Cursed Wilderness for a reason behind the rank 4 spirit beasts'' appearance, he wanted to test his luck in finding the dimension crevice to look at what it actually looks like. Dimensional crevices were small regions that appear between different worlds, and people from different worlds gather to exchange things with other people. Although it looked simple, sometime, they would be killed for even a slight misunderstanding. So, there was a popr saying in the stories that Ajax heard from Elder Boron. ''If you don''t have enough strength, then stay out of the dimensional crevice.'' Ajax remembered it very clearly as Elder Boron made him hear this line more than a dozen times. However, Ajax thought that he had enough strength now and wanted to enter the legendary dimension crevice. Just as he was pondering that, a series of system notifications rung in his head made him surprised. ''Ding, Braylon, who was given a second chance by the host, had sessfully cleared the system mission. ''Ding, Congrattion to the host for giving a second chance for an enemy who wanted to change truly. ''Ding, The host has gained three chances for using the second chance feature. ''Ding, The host has been refunded with 5000 units of the essence of nature and a special reward box for his right decision. "Wonderful," Ajax was surprised and carefully looked at every system notifications. ''A special reward and 5000 units of the essence of nature that I used for the second chance has been added back to my spirit consciousness'' Ajax was over the moon as he read those notifications. "Let''s check Braylon first before opening the special reward box," Ajax looed at the Braylon was checking his surroundings after he came out of who knows where. "System, does he have his past memories?" Ajax asked the system as he walked towards Braylon. ''Ding, Yes, he had all his past memories. However, his cultivation has been destroyed by Darbaudr earlier. So the system made another arrangement for him to cultivate. "That''s good. What is that arrangement," When Ajax saw those words, he nodded his head and asked about the arrangement. Ajax knew that Braylon''s spirit consciousness was destroyed and wondered about the arrangement the system had made to help Braylon cultivate once again. ''Ding, Every time he kills the wicked and evil beings, he gains a small amount of cultivation from the beings he killed. "What?" Ajax was shocked by the weird arrangement made by the system for Braylon. What kind of concept was it to gain the strength from killing evil beings? It was the thought in his head. "Thanks for giving me a second chance, master," Just as Ajax came close to Braylon, he bowed and thanked Ajax for giving him a second chance. When he heard Braylon calling him a master, Ajax was shocked and felt weird, but he suppressed his shock and acted normal. "No, no, no, you earned it," Ajax shocked his head and continued, "Since you became a new person, do you mind changing your name?" "I will leave this to master to decide," Braylon acted as though he doesn''t care about his name or his past anymore. "Since you will be killing the evil people from now on, I will call you Justice," Ajax thought for a moment before giving him a name. "Okay, master, I will be Justice form now on," Braylon, who became ''Justice'' after Ajax''s second chance, epted his new name. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a new follower. "Huh?" After naming Justice, Ajax got a system notification all of a sudden that gave him another surprise, and he became happy to see it. Chapter 241: New Specialty

241 New Specialty

"So, I got a new follower just like that?" Ajax was puzzled after his excitement. ''Ding, Justice felt that he was granted a new life to correct his past mistakes and be your follower. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and opened his user interface to check the follower tab. In the ''follower tab'' feature, besides Darbaudr, another name was present, and he focused on it. ''Ding, Follower name:- Justice Cultivation:- Level 1 soldier Description:- His cultivation will increase by eliminating evil. "Cool, Justice, you can take some rest for now," Ajax said to Justice, and he also returned to his ce to sit. After sitting, Ajax took out two transparent stones from the inventory and yed with them. The two stones are none other than Elemental spirit stones he got after killing Cortez. "These must be from his contracted elemental spirits," Ajax thought and finally knew what would happen to elemental spirits if their summoning master dies. "Young master, although they can help your elemental spirits, it is better to use the same type of elemental spirit to get more benefits," Seeing the elemental spirit stones Darbaudr exined to Ajax. Ajax nodded his head in agreement and resumed his search. Ajax already knew that using the elemental spirit stones on the same type of elemental spirit would benefit more, so he just nodded his head. In the past, all the elemental spirit stones, he got from the system were universal elemental spirit stones that could be used on any elemental spirit (Except for one that he used on Necros). So, he didn''t have any problems until now. However, now he had to wait until he contracted a wind elemental spirit. "Young master, order Twilight tond," As they searched from the sky, Darbaudr urged Ajax to order Twilight. Seeing that seriousness on Darbaudr''s face, Ajax immediately ordered Twilight tond without any dy. "What happened, Darbaudr," Afternding on the ground, Ajax asked Darbaudr before jumping down from Twilight''s back. "I saw a group of demon servants ahead of us," The Barbarian said with hatred on his face. "Demon servants?" Ajax''s face became serious and thought, ''I just casually thought about them earlier, and now they were on my way, isn''t it too much of a coincidence?'' "Young master, I saw only low-level ones in that group. So, let me go and finish them," Darbaudr requested Ajax. "Since there are no high-level ones, let me go with you," Ajax decided to go with Darbaudr. "As you order, young master," When he the seriousness on Ajax''s face, Darbaudr respectfully replied. "Twilight, take rest in the inner world. Also, don''t go into the dark elemental paradise for now," Ajax said to Twilight before sending it into the inner world. ''Roarr'' After he sent it into the inner world, he didn''t move immediately towards the demon servants; instead, he silently checked the dragon in the inner world, which slept in front of the dark elemental paradise. ''Even though it acts rebellious, it sure is obedient'' Ajax smiled at Twilight and decided to find a quick way to increase the dark elemental paradise''s size. "It looks like all the spirit beasts and elemental spirits will break through to higher realms sooner than I thought," Since he entered the inner world anyway, he checked on his other spirit beasts and elemental spirits and felt good as they were progressing at a rapid speed. ''Before confronting those Demon servants, I will use the ''specialty roulette'' to get a random specialty. It was a reward that he got from contracting an auxiliary elemental spirit in the elemental spirit world. Still, he didn'' use it as he went from one thing to another and was unable to spin the roulette. However, now he decided to use it. ''System, spin the roulette for the specialties,'' Ajax ordered the system to spin to the roulette. ''Ding, Spinning the specialty roulette, please wat. ''Ding, There is a 40 percent chance that the host may not get any specialty from the roulette, As soon as he ordered the system, a transparent roulette started spinning. The specialty roulette had ten portions, and among them, only six were filled as for the remaining four portions, they were empty. ''Should I pray for a specialty?'' Ajax thought, looking at the spinning roulette in front of him but quickly rejected that thought as his praying didn''t work earlier. Soon the roulette stopped spinning. ''Ding, Congrattions to host for gaining a new specialty ''Water Elementalist.'' ''Ding, All the water elemental beings will not actively attack the host and even treat the host with friendliness. "Hahaha," Ajaxughed out loud when he saw the pointer that stopped on the Water Elementalist on the roulette. ''It''s good I got what I needed,'' Ajax was satisfied with the specialty as he didn''t any water type elemental spirits with hi. He thought that with this specialty, he could easily convince the water elemental spirits to form a contract with him when he enter the elemental spirit world in the future. "Let''s go now," After feeling satisfied with the new specialty; Ajax went towards the demon servants with his two followers. When they heard his words, both the followers became excited. Darbaudr was excited as he had the blood feud with the demons, and as for Justice, he wanted to eliminate the demon servants who were a symbol for evil. Ajax and his followers didn''t rush to kill the demon servants; instead, they slowly observed the demon servants from the distance to know what they were doing. In the distance, 18-20 weird beings that had curved horns and with sharp teeth protruding out of their mouths. They were around 2-3 meters in height, and almost all of them had the cultivation of the Elitemander realm. ''Woah.. these demon servants were strong,'' Looking at them, Ajax didn''t felt any fear, but he was surprised to find that all the demon servants have high cultivations. "Young master, all the demon servants will have the cultivation of amander realm at the time of their birth," Darbaudr, who fought with demons in the past, exined Ajax. "Oh, then there is no surprise they have high cultivation," Ajax nodded his head and checked the surroundings to find any high-level demon servants. ''Swoosh'' As he was checking for high-level demons, a silhouette appeared behind him without any noise. Chapter 242: Killing the demon servants

242 Killing the demon servants

Ajax''s back drenched with cold sweat when he sensed that someone was behind him. However, seeing that Darbaudr didn''t alert him even when a silhouette appeared behind made Ajax rxed a little. "What are you doing here, kid, making all us worried for you," a cold voice was heard in his head through voice transmission. "Uncle Udo, why are you here?" Ajax was surprised and felt a little anxious when he heard Udo Keenaxe''s voice in his head and asked. "First answer my question, why didn''t you return to the residence with Paulin?" Udo asked why thinking in his head, ''This brat''s cultivation increased once again.'' When hest saw Ajax, his cultivation was at level 4 of themander realm, which already made him think that Ajax was some kind of demonic cultivator. However, only a couple of days had passed from then, and his cultivation increased once again increased by two levels, which made him almost confirm his suspicions about Ajax. Nevertheless, he didn''t act but looked at the group of demon servants in the distance along with Ajax while waiting for an answer to his question. "I wanted to finish that bounty missions that were issued by the mercenary squad," Ajax thought for a moment and slowly answered Udo shift his reason to stay back on the Bounty missions. "Huh?" Udo surprised for a moment and asked, "So, you wanted to kill those demon servants." "Yes," Ajax instantly replied while taking out the bracelet he got from the mercenary guild as a proof to convince Udo. When the bracelet in Ajax''s hand, Udo nodded his head and looked at Darbaudr and Justice. Among them, he only recognized Darbaudr and didn''t recognize Justice. Justice, formerly known as Braylon, always covered his face with a mask, and aside from certain people, no one knows how he looks. So, Udo was unable to recognize him. However, he didn''t care about him as he sensed not even a shed of cultivation in him. "How much longer should we wait here?" one of the demon servants angrily asked. As Ajax and Udo were slowly talked in a voice transmission, they heard the demon servants who were silent until now, started talking. Seeing that, they stopped their talk and focused on the demon servants. "Until our young masteres out of the dimension crevice, we have to guard him," another demon servant scoffed at the first demon servant who asked the question. "I wonder how long he will take this time? Last time he went into the dimension crevice he was gone for two days," Another one showed his dissatisfaction towards their young master. "Who knows. However, we have to guard here until hees out of the dimension crevice," The demon servant that answered earlier replied. "By the way, chief. When will the invasion of this region start?" "Our invasion was supposed to start as soon as our young masteres out of the dimensional crevice," The one who was answering all the questions replied as usual. "So, it''s true that the demons are invading this region," Udo, hearing their words, nodded his head and turned to Ajax and asked, "Do you think you can kill them?" "No," without any hesitation, Ajax said ''No'' to Udo. "However, with the help of Darbaudr, I can take care of them," Ajax said after looking at Darbaudr. "Come, assist me. After we kill them, I will send a signal to Edmond," As though he was disappointed with something, Udo shook his head and said to Ajax, "Yes, uncle Udo," Ajax epted Udo''s arrangement. "Let''s go, take care of level 1 elitemanders. As for the rest, I will take care of them," Udo said to Ajax before rushing towards the demon servants. ''Darbaudr, help Justice level up,'' Ajax silent orders Darbaudr to assist his new follower. Darbaudr nodded his head and selected a target before rushing towards him along with Justice. Udo appeared behind the one called as Chief and easily killed him before he slowly searched for something. As for the remaining demon servants, he casually killed while he was at it. Ajax also didn''t use his full power but acted as though he was using full power to kill a level elitemander demon servant after fighting with him for a few minutes. ''Is he really using his true strength?'' When Udo saw Ajax''s difficulty in killing a level 1 elite demonmander, he stopped his search for a moment before thinking about it. However, soon he thought that he was just wasting time and resumed his search for something. As for Darbaudr, he was entirely helping Justice kill the high-level demon servants to increase his cultivation level. ''Crack'' Justice utilized Darbaudr''s assistance to the peak and quickly killed a level 10 elite demonmander. As soon as he killed that demon servant, some energy came out of the dead demon servant and entered into Justice''s body. Ajax, who was observing Justice the entire to know more about his cultivation that would be increased by killing the evil on the earth, noticed the energy that entered into Justice''s body. Soon, the energy from Justice''s body started to rise as his cultivation began to increase at an incredible rate. Within seconds, Justice broke through a couple of minor realms, and the increase in his cultivation was still increasing but with some decreased speed. After a couple of minutes, Justice''s cultivation broke through to the elite soldier realm level, and only then his cultivation stopped increasing. ''So killing a level 10 elite demonmander only allowed him to reached level 1 of the elite soldier realm?'' Ajax was not happy with the cultivation improvement of Justice when he saw the amount of energy that Justice got from the demon servant. He was dissatisfied because he thought that Justice would at least enter themander realm after killing a level 10 elite demonmander. However, when he saw that Justice''s cultivation didn''t cross the level 1 elite soldier realm, he was disappointed with the system''s cultivation path that was arranged for Justice. ''Sigh...'' Ajax sighed and worriedly looked at Justice, who closed his eyes and enjoying the increment in his cultivation realms. Chapter 243: Interrogation

243 Interrogation

There was nothing wrong with Ajax''s dissatisfaction with the cultivation path of the Justice. Even though it looked morefortable in the earlier stages, it would be harder for him to reach the King realm in the future. So Ajax was not only dissatisfied but also worried about Justice''s future cultivation path. ''Let''s see what system nned for him in the future?'' At the same time, he thought that system would not be that careless, so he thought to check it in the future. Soon Udo and others killed all the demon servants, leaving one level 1 elite demonmander alive. "Ajax, be careful and ask what you wanted to know. I will be in this surrounding," Udo said to Ajax. When Udo was about to kill thest demon servant, Ajax requested him not to kill the demon servant and give him a reason that he wanted to ask something to that Demon servant. To his request, Udo raised his brows and looked at the Ajax, who kept a serious face and nodded his head as though he agreed to Ajax''s request. After handing thest surviving demon servant to Ajax, Udo took out some talisman and activated it. As soon as he did that, a re was rushed into the sky and shone for a couple of minutes before disappearing. Ajax was not surprised at the re as he knew that he signaled Edmond toe to this ce. Before starting his inquiry with the demon servant, Ajax looked at the Udo, who was searching for something, and at the same time, he kept an eye on him. Seeing that Ajax just shook his head and focused on the demon servant. "Do you know the reason behind the high-level spirit beasts'' appearance in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness?" Without wasting any time, Ajax started with his main question directly. "You human bastards think I will say it? In your dreams. Hehe," the demon servant chuckled as he scolded humans. "Really?" Ajax was not disappointed and continued asking him, "Do you think I have no other way to find out that information from you." While saying that Ajax smiled cruelly. "Pfft, Stop human. You are making meugh with the smile on your face," The demon servant loudlyughed when he saw Ajax''s cruel smile. ''Pfft,'' Even Udo, who was looking at Ajax from time to time, was unable to withholdugh when he saw the expression on Ajax''s face. "Fine," Ajax became somewhat embarrassed when he saw even Udo was looking at his cruel smile and silently thought, ''Absolute darkness.'' ''Aargh'' ''Please let me go. I will say, and I know about it more than anyone, aargh''. As soon as he thought about it, theughing demon servant fell onto the ground and cried in pain and begged Ajax. ''Cancel,'' Ajax silently canceled the skill and looked at the demon servant who was still howling in the pain. Ajax knew that the Demon servant was not harmed much since he only used the skill just for a couple of seconds. The demon servant immediately stood up with his hands on his head and looked at Ajax with a horrifying expression. ''What did he do to that demon servant?'' Udo just looked at another side for a second before looking back at Ajax, and he waspletely shocked by the scene in front of him. ''The demon lord ordered one of his apostles to invade this region. I think it''s better to say that the demon lord just ordered his apostle to destroy it rather than invading it,'' As he was thinking what Ajax had done to the demon servant, the demon servant started saying everything he knew about Ajax''s earlier question. "But what it has to do with the appearance of the spirit beasts in the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness?" Ajax didn''t understand the rtion between the demon invasion and the appearance of spirit beasts, so he asked. "It has something to do with our invasion. Before we started our invasion, we will lure the rank 4 spirit beasts out of the Cursed Wilderness to confuse the humans. I think all the surrounding viges and towns will be destroyed within a few hours," the demon servant who didn''t fear death earlier became docile like a dog and answered all the questions that Ajax asked. "What?" Udo stopped his search, and hastily walked towards the demon servant. "Yes, as soon as our young masteres out of the dimensional crevice the demon invasion will start," The demon servant exined to Udo about everything he knew about the demon invasion. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Find the reason behind the appearance of the spirit beasts,'' ''Ding, The reward is sent to the host''s inventory. ''Uff¡­ finally the mission ispleted,'' As soon as he heard the system notification, Ajax felt relieved and stopped his interrogation. ''Puchi,'' ''Thud,'' Just as he was feeling rxed, Ajax heard some sound that made alert, and he immediately turned to look at the demon servant and shocked. "How did he die?" Ajax looked at Udo and asked in confusion. "I think it was some kind of curse that will kill them when they reveal what they were not supposed to reveal," Udo looked at the dead demon servant and shook his head. "Anyway, we got the most important information from him before he was dead," Udo felt satisfied with the information he got and looked at his surroundings. "Yes, I think we should inform others about it," Ajax also feltcent with the information they got and said his opinion to Udo. "Yes, however, we need to wait for Edmond toe here before deciding that," Udo replied to Ajax and started his search. However, this time he increased his search range and didn''t bother to keep an eye on Ajax. "Sure," Ajax understood what Udo meant by his words, so he walked towards a boulder as he sensed something from it. ''Until Edmondes here, Let me find where this dimension crevice is situated,'' As soon as he went near to it, the Dimension key in his space ring came out and appeared in his hand. Chapter 244: Dimensional Crevice

244 Dimensional Crevice

''Where is the entrance?'' Ajax looked for the entrance of the dimensional crevice with the key in his hands. He searched for the entrance for some time, before the stone shaped dimensional key shone brightly. ''Finally found it,'' Seeing that brightly lit stone in his hand, Ajax felt excited, but before he knew what was happening, he disappeared from his ce, leaving Darabudr and Justice behind. "Young master," Darbaudr rushed towards the ce where Ajax disappeared and shook his head. ''Let''s hope he doesn''t encounter a high-level cultivator,'' saying that, he left with Justice and sat on a boulder and waited for Ajax to return safely from the dimensional crevice. Darbaudr knew that his young master entered into the dimension crevice, so he just hoped that his young master would return safely. Udo, who was still searching for something in the distance, didn''t pay attention to Ajax much, so he didn''t notice that Ajax was missing. After a few moments, a silhouette came running towards Udo from afar. "Udo, did you find him?" As soon as the silhouette reached Udo, it asked him hurriedly. "Yes," When he saw the worried Edmond, Udo nodded his head and answered him. "Where?" Edmond looked at the surroundings but didn''t find Ajax. "Damn you old Edmond, are you blind now? Can''t you see him there?" While saying that, Udo turned around to point his finger towards the boulder, but he didn''t find Ajax either. "Huh? Where did he go?" Udo was shocked to find that Ajax was not at the boulder. He only saw Darbaudr and Justice, who were talking casually. ''When did he became an elite soldier?'' And the most important thing that shocked him was Justice''s cultivation, which was only at level 1 soldier realm earlier. However, now it had increased to level 1 of the elite soldier realm. "Huh? Darbaudr is also here? Then there is nothing to worry," Once he saw that Darbaudr, Edmond calmed down and thought, ''Since he was with him, I have been worried in vain.'' "Hey, Darbaudr, where is Ajax?" As Udo was still in shock, Edmond walked towards Darbaudr and asked about Ajax. "Captain Edmond, he went into a dimensional crevice," Darbaudr answered Edmond''s question in a polite way. "What? He entered the Dimensional crevice?" Edmond and Udo shouted out loud at the same time. "Yes," The barbarian nodded his head. "Where did he get the key to that ce anyway?" Edmond suppressed his shock and asked Darbaudr. "I don''t know, captain," Although Darbaudr knew the answer to that question, he didn''t say anything as he knew that Ajax doesn''t want to know about his killings to anyone. "Okay then let''s wait here until hees out of the dimensional crevice," Edmond raised his brows at Darbaudr''s answer and nodded his head. "Edmond, I have an important matter to discuss with you," When he came out of all the shocks, Udo went to Edmond and clearly exined about all the information he got from the demon servant before he died. "So, did you find it?" After hearing Udo''s words about the Demon invasion, Edmond asked a question that puzzled Darbaudr. He expected Edmond would n something to defend the demon invasion or inform others about it, but he asked Udo about finding something. "No, I think it will be somewhere around here," Udo replied slowly. "Leave that thing to me, I will find it. You go and inform the guild master of the mercenary guild," Edmond nodded his head and asked Udo to go to the mercenary guild. "But.." "Don''t worry; you seemed to forget my strength now, hehe" Before Udo could say anything, Edmond interjected his words with a smile. "Okay," Udo looked at Darbaudr for a moment and left to the mercenary guild to inform the guild master about the demon invasion. After Udo left, Edmond stood up and started searching for something. Just like Udo, he increased his search range along with time. Darbaudr looked at Edmond, who was busy searching for something and shook his head. "Justice, keep an eye on the surroundings, and if you notice anything, alert me," Darbaurd said to Justice before closing his eyes to cultivate. Justice nodded his head in agreement. ¡­.. In the Dimensional Crevice, ''Swoosh'' ''Ouch'' Ajax fell on the ground from a portal. While eximing from the fell, Ajax looked at his surroundings. In front of him, a huge entrance with two guards guarding it. The guards'' bodies were entirely covered with full knight equipment. "Wee to the Cursed Dimensional crevice; Please pay 10000 spirit stones to enter inside this crevice''s ck market," when they saw Ajax on the ground, both the guards politely weed him. ''What? 10000 spirit stones?'' Ajax was shocked by the exorbitant price for just entering inside it. "Okay," However, those 10000 spirit stones were nothing to Ajax as he had more than half a million of them, which he got by killing the assassin sect''s disciples. So, he casually tossed them a space ring with 10000 spirit stones in it. "Please take this badge, and when you are inside, don''t create any trouble," As soon as they got the payment, the guards'' attitude towards Ajax turned 180 degrees and coldly said to Ajax. "Huh?" Ajax was bbergasted at their sudden change in attitude, but he didn''t pay attention to them and walked inside the dimensional crevice''s ck market. "Also, as long as you are inside the ck market, keep an eye on your surroundings. Later, don''te to us and cry that you lost things, Haha" Just as Ajax passed them and entered the entrance, one of the guards mocked Ajax andughed. ''Lowly watchdogs,'' Ajax muttered in a low voice that could be barely audible to the guards and quickly entered the ck market. "I heard something like Lovely dogs, where are the dogs?" After Ajax left, one of the guards asked the other one. "You fool. That brat said, ''Lowly watchdogs'' to us," The other watch guard angrily shouted. "What? He dared to call us dogs. I will go after him and kill him," The first guard became angry and tried to enter the ck market. "Damn foo. At least use that brain once in a while. Did you forget our rules? Wait until hees to us for his missing things, then we will show him what we are?" The second watch guard stopped the first guard and exined his n. "Hahaha" After hearing the n, both of them startedughing. . Chapter 245: Hollow Mask

245 Hollow Mask

After entering the ck market, Ajax carefully observed the surroundings. The area ahead of him was just like the mercenary guild''s market square with many stores, but the stores here looked more splendid than theter ones. ''Also, there are only a few people here, making it easier for me to look for the item,'' Ajaxpared the mercenary guild''s market square with the ck mark in the dimensional crevice. "Woah, there are some good items here," Ajax casually strolled the ck market and observed all the items. Although most of the items didn''t pique his interest, many of them would never be avable in the Zrochester province. Low-grade primitive stones, spirit beast eggs, talismans, and many more things were just ced openly. After checking almost all the stores in the ck market, he stopped in front of a store with a wide range of items. "Who do you want, young master," As Ajax was checking the store''s items, a young man came towards him and asked respectfully. Since most of the cultivators who could enter the ck market were from a wealthy background, all the store servants would act politely not to anger the customers. "Huh?" When he saw a young man who had the general realm''s cultivation acts as a store servant, Ajax was surprised. "I want all the primitive stones and high-level talismans in your store. Calcte the price and say to me," But he suppressed his surprise and asked the young man. "What? It will cost more than 100k spirit stones," The young man was unable to withhold the shock when he heard Ajax''s words and shouted out loud. "I will pay the price. Just get the items already," Ajax irritatedly said when he saw the shock in the young man''s face. ''Do I look like a peasant to you?'' Ajax scolded that young man in his heart. "Also, find a high-quality mask," As the young man took out the items and calcted the price, Ajax added another item to his list. "Sure," the young man was feeling happy with the earlier order Ajax had made, so he didn''t feel angry when he was disturbed in the middle of his calction. Soon, the young man came with a space ring and politely said, "Young master, there is one middle-grade primitive stone, ten low-grade middle stones, ten sets of Escape talismans, Prison talisman, invisible talisman and thousands of basic talismans and a High-level earth grade mask that can hide the cultivation level of the user." "Adding all the prices together, it costs 212k spirit stones," the young man said all the items and their prices very fastly that Ajax didn''t remember the individual costs. Nevertheless, he felt that the cost was justified since the items he just brought were rarely avable in the outside world, and here he bought them with the spirit stones which he looted from the assassin sect disciples. As for the young man in the store, he casually threw the space ring that Ajax gave into a locker before saying, "Since I helped you gain a profit of 100k from the earlier transaction andpleted the contract, I am leaving the store now." No one knows who he was talking to, but after saying those words, he left the store without even closing its doors. As soon as he left, the doors of the store closed automatically. ¡­.. ''Let me check the details about this mask,'' Aftering out of the store; Ajax found a secluded area to find out the details about the items he just bought. ''Ding, Item name:- Hollow mask Grade:- High-level Earth grade Use: It is used not only for covering the face, but it can also mask the user''s cultivation. Note:- General realm cultivators with keen eyes can be able to find the actual cultivation of the user. "It''s good," Ajax nodded his head at the mask and felt satisfied. The reason he bought a mask was to hide his information from the prying eyes of some cultivators who were following him for a while now. However, he chose to ignore them until he finished his shopping spree. After wearing the mask, Ajax didn''t check other items as he knew what they were used for and decided to shop in another store. Soon, he entered another store that looked more splendid than the earlier shop he bought the items. However, he felt something wrong as soon as he entered the store. "What do you want, young master?" As Ajax was looking around, an older man appeared out of nowhere and asked Ajax. ''No respect, the earlier store was good,'' Although the old man called him young master, there was not even a hint of respect in that voice that made Ajaxpare the present store with the earlier store. "I will check and inform you," Ajax also replied without any respect and started looking at the counter items. "Hmm," the old man nodded his head and disappeared again. Ajax didn''t pay any attention to the older man and casually looked at the items. ''Ding, Item name:- amon sea stone ''Ding, Item name:- amon weed ''Ding, Item name:- a broken talisman. "What the heck! There are not even basic good items," When Ajax saw the counter''s items, he unconsciously cursed the store. "What did you say?" as soon as he cursed the store, the previously disappeared old man appeared behind him like a ghost. "Nothing, nothing," Only then, he remembered that he was in the store that belonged to an elite general realm old man and hurriedly said. "If you want to buy those items, then buy. If not, they get the hell out of here," the old man said with a cold voice and even suffocated Ajax with his elite general realm aura. "Thanks, elder," Ajax hurriedly escaped from the store. ''Maybe that old man was trying to scam people with his fake items,'' Ajax thought in his head and moved to the next store. All the items in the store he just ran from had a different name from what he saw in the store, so he concluded that the older man was shady. ''Nevertheless, he is not that bad, though. If he wanted to kill me, I would have already died by now,'' Ajax stopped thinking about the old man''s shop and entered another store. Chapter 246: Levi

246 Levi

"Wee young cultivator, what do you want?" As soon as he entered the store, a middle-aged man stood up from his chair and asked Ajax politely. "Huh? Let me check the items first," Ajax replied and turned to look at the items. When he heard Ajax''s words, the middle-aged man raised his brows and went back to his seat. It was the first time someone that came to his shop was not respectful in replying to him. ''Maybe he doesn''t know about me,'' However, he thought that the kid didn''t know about him and shook his head. ''What? There are rank 5 herbs here?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment, but soon he shook head as he remembered where he was at the moment. Although there were only a few rank 5 herbs, Ajax was satisfied with them. ''Why these stores don''t have a name?'' As he saw the medicinal herbs that were stored in special containers, Ajax wondered about it. All the stores in the ck market don''t have any name, and he doesn''t know which stores sell what kind of items until he goes inside and check them separately. For example, he doesn''t know this store was a herbal store until he entered and checked the item. "I want this, this and that," Soon, Ajax pointed at some items and said he would buy them. "Are you sure?" The middle-aged man was shocked to see the items that Ajax was pointing and asked once again to confirm. The middle-aged was shocked due to the fact that all the items that Ajax pointed were very costly ones. "Yes, are they for sale or not?" Ajax was frustrated that no one was believing him that he had enough spirit stones to buy the items he needed. ''Am I looking that poor?'' Ajax thought in his head. "Sorry, young cultivator. They are for sale. Wait for a second; I will calcte the price," The middle-aged man hurried took out the items that Ajax pointed and started calcting. "Five rank 5 herbs, 20 rank 4 herbs, and 50 rank 3 herbs, total 520k spirit stones. Since the young cultivator is making a bulk transaction, then I will give a 20k discount and round the overall price to 500k spirit stones," The middle-aged man looked at Ajax and acted like a magnanimous person. "What? Why don''t you directly rob me?" when he heard the price of all the herbs, Ajax''s heart received a shocked and directly retorted. "What are you talking, young man. All the prices in my stores are fair. If you don''t buy them now, you can forget about leaving from here," the middle-aged man coldly said, revealing his true nature. "Let''s see, who will stop me?" Ajax didn''t show any fear towards the middle-aged man who had the cultivation of level 8 elitemander realm and turned around to leave the store. "Hehe, Brat, you really don''t know who you are messing with," the middle-aged man cunninglyughed and rushed towards Ajax to punch him. ''Aargh'' The middle-aged man''s punch was stopped mid-air as he fell down on the ground holding his head with his hands and crying in pain. ''Pfft, only a level 8 in the elitemander realm, and you are trying to attack me,'' Ajax withheld hisughter and left the store picking all the items he just ordered. "Huh?" As he was leaving the store, he took out one of the special containers to check a rank 5 herb. ''Ding, Herb name:-?Rock oregano Description:- An ordinary rank 1 oregano that looks like a rank 5 jade oregano when mixed with other herbs. Use:- It is used to make rank 1 pills. "What the hell," Ajax was shocked to see the herb''s information and quickly took other herbs to check their information. "All herbs are fucking face," Ajax''s face became ugly when he saw all the herbs that almost cost him 500k spirit stones were fake. "You are also a?scammer?" Ajax stopped exiting the store and returned back to the middle-aged man who was still crying in pain and kicked him. "You can keep this shit for yourself," By saying this, he threw all the herb containers towards him and left the store. "Damn you, brat; you dare to attack me. Just wait, I will beat the shit out of you," A few minutes after Ajax left the store, the middle-aged man stood up with an angry face and howled. ¡­. As for Ajax, he went one store after another. He only stayed in each store for a few moments before leaving the store with a dejected expression. ''What is wrong with these stores? All the items in every store I went to were fake,'' Ajax cursed all the stores. Except for the first store where he bought the authentic items, all the other stores only had fake items, so Ajax was dejected with the store and left without asking for their price. "Hello, brother," As he was cursing the stores, Ajax heard someone calling him from behind. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised to see a familiar person that was walking towards him. The person who called him brother was none other than the young man who worked in the first store, Ajax had entered. "Hello," Suppressing his surprise, Ajax also greeted that young man politely. "My name is Levi. What do I call you, brother?" The young man introduced himself and asked for Ajax''s name. "Hello senior brother Levi, My name is Ajax," Ajax didn''t feel embarrassed to call a store servant as his senior brother. ording to him, the store he worked for was the best store that sells authentic items in this ck market. Moreover, the young man had a level 1 general realm cultivation, so he thought its better to know someone in an unknown ce. "Since you called me senior brother, I will just call you by your name, Ajax. What do you say?" Levi smiled as he talked. "Ok, senior brother Levi," Ajax didn''t mind as Levi was older than him anyway. "Ajax, where did youe from?" Levi nodded his head and asked. "I am from Zrochester province, and what about you, senior brother," Ajax didn''t feel any malicious thoughts in Levi, so he was not hesitant in revealing his information. "Really, you are from Zrochester Province?" Levis was surprised to hear Ajax''s answer. ... Chapter 247: Real Black Marke

247 Real ck Marke

Levi was not only surprised, but the excitement was apparent on his face. "Huh? Why are so excited Senior brother? Don''t say me you are also from the Zrochester province," Ajax felt something was wrong with the senior brother he recently made. "No, I am from Ylercester province," Levi said after controlling his excitement and continued exining, "I was surprised because it was rare to see a youngmander realm cultivator form the Zrochester province and felt excited that I became brothers with a genius, Hahaha." It was a known fact that the purity of the essence of nature in the Zrochester province was very thin. So it was very hard to reach a higher realm at such a young age. "You are overpraising me too much, senior brother Levi. I am not even as strong as you," Ajax shook his head in modesty. "No need to look down on yourself. It''s just a matter of time before you be a general realm cultivator," Levi smacked Ajax''s head jokingly as he replied to Ajax. "Ok senior brother," Ajax stopped being modest and continued asking, "By the way, why all the stores are having fake items?" "Huh? You find out that sooner than I thought? Hehe," Leviughed when he heard Ajax''s words. "What?" Ajax didn''t understand what Levi said. "I mean this is not the real ck market," Levi slowly said to Ajax in a whisper. "Not a real ck market? Then where is the real one" Ajax was surprised when he heard Levi''s words and asked Levi about the real one. "Don''t you feel something wrong with paying high entry fees to buy the fake items?" Levi didn''t answer Ajax; instead, he asked a question in reply. "Yes, but I am satisfied with the items I bought in your store though, so I never really cared about the entry fee," Ajax nodded his head. For Ajax, the entry fee seemed not high, and with the items, he got from the first store made feelcent. "Ajax, are you a sect master''s son or the son-inw of the royal family?" Levi''s jaws dropped hearing Ajax''s attitude towards spirit stones and asked. "No, I am a mercenary, hehe" Ajax sheepishly smiled as he knew why Levi thought about his like that. "What? A mercenary in the Zrochester province is that rich to the point where he won''t care about 10000 spirit stones?" Levi wanted to find some rock and knock himself out. "Yes, beforeing to this dimensional crevice I encountered a small fortune, hehe" Ajax found that this new senior brother of his was very funny. "Okay, How many spirit stones, do you have now?" Levi looked at his surroundings before slowly asking Ajax. "Huh? Why senior brother?" Ajax raised his brows and asked. "Don''t get me wrong, I will take you to a good ce in the real ck market if you have more spirit stones," Levi assumed that Ajax was thinking wrong about him, so he exined clearly. "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go," Levi turned around and started walking towards a remote alley beside the first store Ajax had bought the items. Ajax followed Levi silently and entered the remote alley. Levi removed a brick and put a small stone inside it for a moment before storing it back into his space ring. As soon as he did, a portal opened in front of Levi. "Don''t remove your mask after we enter the real ck market," Before entering the portal, Levi warned Ajax not to reveal his identity in the real ck market. "Hmm" Ajax nodded his head and adjusted the mask on his face and entered the portal after Levi. Soon, Ajax and Levi were teleported to a ce that looked like amon market ce that was fully crowded with people. Rather than saying it people, it''s better to say crowded with all types of beings. Because, among the crowd, there are other races beings like Elves, Dwarves, Demons, etc. "How is this possible? Weren''t there wars between different races and how can they all be together?" Ajax asked Levi in a low voice when he saw the different races in the real ck market. "Yes, there is hatred between different races. However, once someone enters the real ck market, no one should fight unless they want to die, haha" Levi exined and brought Ajax to a huge tree that was situated at the end of the ck market. "Ajax, I am bringing you to a special ce but I advise you to remain silent the entire time we are inside that special ce. If you want any item, let me know. However, you should pay for it, since I am penniless now, hehe," Levi said all the things, and at the end of the sentence, heughed embarrassedly. Ajax only heard Levi''s words as his main focus was on the tree that was giving him a weird sensation. ''What is this tree?'' Ajax curiously went forwards to touch the tree. "Ajax, stop it," Just when he was about to touch the tree, Levi immediately stopped Ajax. "Huh? Why, senior brother?" Ajax puzzledly asked Levi. "The tree will suck all your essence of nature even if you just touch it once," Levi seriously said to him which made Ajax shiver and immediately backed off from the tree. "Now, hold my hand," Levi gave his hand to Ajax, and with the other hand he took out the same stone he took out earlier to enter the real ck market. ''So, dimension key has more uses than just entering the dimension crevice,'' Ajax was unable to see the dimensional key earlier clearly, so he thought the dimensional key had other uses. "Hehe" When Levi saw that Ajax was looking at the Dimensional key in his hands, Levi''s smiled and said, "I think you are wondering why my dimensional key is different from yours, right?" "Huh?" Ajax didn''t understand what Levi was asking as he puzzledly looked at the dimensional key in Levi''s hands. ''What is he saying. Are there different types of dimensional keys? But, the dimensional key looks just like the one in his hand,'' At the same time, many questions raised regarding the dimensional key. "So, what is it''s specialty?" Ajax asked Levi about the dimensional key as he wanted to know more about it. ... Chapter 248: Exchange starts

248 Exchange starts

"This dimensional Key can be used to enter most of the ces in the real ck market that normal dimensional key," Levi proudly continued his exnation, "For example, this tree has a separate dimension inside it that can be used for some specific reasons." As he exined, Levi touched the tree with the dimensional key. Just as the dimensional key that looked like a small stone touched the tree, it sucked Levis along with Ajax who held Levi''s hand into it. ¡­. In a ce that was only lit by the light of the candles, a group of 6 members sat on a round table. There were two empty chairs among them. Among the two chairs, one looked like a King''s chair, while the other one was like the rest of the chairs, it was simple. "Where is that Cortez?" a young man with spikey hair said with irritation on his face. "Maybe, he is noting here this time, let''s start the exchange already," Another young man that had a sharp face urged others to start something called ''Exchange''. "Hahaha," Just after the sharp-faced young man urged to start the exchange, a loud voice came from the darkness from a small distance away from their table. "Who dares to start the exchange without me?" a young man that looked 18 years old came out of the darkness and said with a mighty voice that made other fear. "Brother Levi, How can we start without you?" the sharp-face young man hurriedly stood up and tried to cover his earlier words. The one who came from the darkness was none other than Levi. "Hmm okay," Levi nodded his head. Behind him, Ajax also slowly came out of the darkness by clutching his head with his hands. "Levi, how can you bring an outsider into the ''Essence absorbing tree''? Just because you have higher cultivation doesn''t mean you can fo anything you want," the young man with the spikey hair roared angrily. "Who said he was an outsider," Levi coldly looked at the spikey young man and turned towards other members who were sitting on the normal chairs and said, "Meet my brother Ajax. Don''t try anything funny with him. If you do, you know about me, right?" Levi introduced Ajax as his brother to others, and at the same time, he indirectly threatened them. "Also, where is your friend Cortez? If he doesn''te in a few minutes, I will lock this space and not allow him for this time''s exchange," he looked at the spikey young man and seriously said. "..." The spikey young man didn''t say anything and went back to his seat. "Ajax, the beauties over there are Olivia and Ste," Levi introduced thedies in the group to Ajax first. "Hi," Ajax shyly greeted them. From his childhood, he rarely talked with girls. So, he became shy all of a sudden. "Hi, Ajax," Both of the girls greeted him back and chuckled lightly covering their mouths, seeing his shy face. "Hi everyone," Ajax greeted everyone. "Hello," Mason and Quin brothers replied to the greeting. "Hmph," As for the spikey young man called Barret, he harrumphed at Ajax. "Senior Brother Levi, what is the name of thest person that didn''te today?" Ajax already guessed who might thatst person would be. Nevertheless, he wanted to confirm it. "Huh? An arrogant person named Cortez. I hope he will die soon," when Levi said about Cortez, there was dissatisfaction and hatred on his face. ''So, he was the same Cortez I killed,'' Ajax confirmed his assumptions. When they were fighting, Ajax heard something like exchange and meeting from Cortez''s mouth. However, he didn''t pay any attention to it at that time. Now, when he heard the same name from Levi''s mouth and thinking back to the dimension key, he got from Cortez''s space ring, all his suspicions became true. ''Will they do anything to me if they knew I killed one of their members?'' Ajax thought in his head and became worried. He was worried that all the members who were present here had a cultivation of peak elitemander realm just like Cortez and he imagined that all of them more or less have the same battle prowess as Cortez. ''More importantly, Darbaudr is not here with me,'' His strongest trump card was not with him at the moment he decided to act as he knew nothing about Cortez. "Ajax,e and sit here," As Ajax was thinking about Cortez''s matter, he heard the loud shout of Levi, who was asking him to sit beside his King''s chair. Ajax didn''t reject as he knew that Cortez would note here anyway, so he slowly went and sat in the normal chair. "Since the time for exchange is already crossed, I am sealing the entrance to the Essence absorbing tree," After Ajax sat in the chair, Levi announced from his King''s chair. There was a pleased expression on his face when he announced that. "But Cortez.." "The exchange time is already crossed by more than an hour, Let hime next time," Before Barret could say anything, he was stopped by Levi. ''Next time? I am sure he will note forever, hehe'' Ajax coldlyughed in his heart. There was no regret or remorse in Ajax''s heart in killing Cortez, so heughed in his heart. ''At least, Senior brother is irritated with that Cortez. I guess I should tell him when this ''Exchange'' thing is over,'' Ajax thought and looked at the other members who were suddenly excited when they heard Levi''s words. "Now, Let''s start exchanging," Levi''s did something with his dimension key, and space around them shook once before stopping. Then Ajax heard Levi''s words to start the exchange. "Don''t worry, I just sealed the space around us," Seeing the confused expression on Ajax''s face, Levi exined to Ajax. "Hmm" Ajax nodded his head and looked at Mason. "As always, I will start first," Mason, with his sharp face, took out something from his space ring. "A Mid-level artifact upgrade stone, who wants this can give me an equivalent price and take it." Mason yed with the stone he took out from the space ring and asked for an equivalent price. ... Chapter 249: Comprehension Frui

249 Comprehension Frui

''What? He casually took out a mid-level artifact upgrade stones to exchange?'' Ajax felt shocked. Because it was rare for that kind of item to appear in the Zrochester province; so, seeing them start the exchange that item casually made him shocked. And the most important thing was that he was in dire need of that item to upgrade his Seal breakingpass. At present, the ''Seal breakingpass'' was at a High-level earth grade, so if he uses the mid-level artifact upgrade stone on it, it could be a heaven grade artifact. ''Once it reaches the heaven grade, I can break the second seal from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness,'' Ajax thought and became excited. "Mason, stop bragging with that stone," "Yes, if you want to brag then take out a high-level artifact upgrade stone for the exchange," All the members around the table mocked the sharp-faced young man. "Okay, okay. Just give me 50k low-level spirit stones or 50 mid-level spirit stones," Mason embarrassedly revealed the number of spirit stones to exchange that item. "Keep that stone for yourself and pray it daily," all the members started their mocking once again. ''What the hell is wrong with these people?'' When he saw the reactions of the members, Ajax felt like he was a poor toad that never came out of his small pond. ''I will take it,'' As all members were mocking Mason, Ajax slowly said. "Hahaha, Finally, someone with the true eyes caught the real value of upgrade stone," Mason startedughing along with the tears in his eyes. ''It''s truly a game yed by heavens. That upgrade stone is a treasure in my hands; However, it was not even worth looking, in the eyes of others,'' Ajaxughed and thought it was all Heaven''s y. "Mason, now say the actual price," Levi, who was not even paying any attention to that stone, asked all of a sudden which made Mason''sugh halt. "Since Ajax is a Brother''s brother, then he is also a brother to me," Now Mason smiled and said. However, the smile seemed a little forced. "So, I will give it for 30k spirit stones for you, What do you say Ajax," Mason didn''t dare to look at Levi and asked Ajax. "Sure," Ajax shook his head and exchanged the upgrade stone with 30k spirit stones. ''Did I get that upgrade stone just like that? Maybe I luck has returned to me,'' Ajax was unable to contain his excitement that he got the item without much effort and rted it to his luck. "Next, Quin brothers. Do you have any items?" Levi asked the twins to which they shook their heads, indicating they didn''t have anything to exchange. "Huh?" Ajax was confused at the twins. ''Since they came here to exchange, then why won''t they take out some items to exchange,'' this was the thought was continuously lingering in his head when he saw the twins shook their heads. "So, it''s like that," Ajax nodded his head in understanding the rule of the meeting. "What about you, beauties?" Levi''s didn''t bother asking Barret, who was near him; instead, he asked Olivia and Ste. "Yes," Olivia nodded her head. Olivia looked around 17 years old with a tanned face and long hair, whereas Ste had a round face with short hair. Both of them wore the same type of robes that made them look like they were from the same sect. After replying to Levi, Olivia took out fruit from a special jade box. "I think there is no need to exin about this fruit, right?" Olivia proudly said after taking out a small green fruit. "Comprehension fruit?" Levi nodded his head. "Correct, it''s aprehension fruit," Olivia yed with her long hair and continued saying, "I want a heaven grade weapon or heaven grade artifact in exchange." After saying its name, Olivia asked what she wanted in exchange for that item. As soon as he heard the name, Ajax focused his eyes on the fruit to know about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Comprehension fruit, Use:- When it is consumed, there is a 50 percent chance ofprehending a specific dao. Description:- A rare fruit that grows in the snowy mountains in the Ylercester province. Note:- One person can consume only one fruit. "I want it," As Ajax was still in shock from seeing the information of theprehension fruit in the holographic screen in front of him, he heard Mason''s voice. Ajax looked at Mason, who was excited about the fruit and didn''t try topete with him. ''Although it is good, it is not a good trade,'' Ajax thought that a heaven grade weapon or artifact was far more valuable than that fruit. "You did a good thing by notpeting for the item," Levi slowly said to Ajax and continued his exnation, "It''s not worth a heaven grade weapon or artifact for you. However, it''s value will be increased in Mason''s hand by at least 10 times." "How?" Ajax became curious about Levi''s words and asked him more about it. "Because he came from an alchemy family and there are rank 5 alchemy masters in his family that could turn theprehension fruit intoprehension pills thus increasing its value," Levi exined about Mason''s background. "Rank 5 alchemy masters, it cool," Ajax felt good to interact with people from high standard families, but at the same time, he also raised his guard. Since everyone here wore their face masks, he still felt foreign with everyone except for Levi, whom he already saw without a mask. Soon, Olivia exchanged theprehension fruit with Mason''s low-level heaven grade sword. "What about you, Ste?" After the exchange, everyone looked at Ste. "I didn''t bring anything today and just wanted to apany Sister Olivia," Ste said while shaking her head. "I can exchange another item," Mason, once again took out some book from his space ring and said he would exchange it. "What is it?" Ajax curiously asked, looking at the book in Mason''s hands. "The item I am going to exchange is a copy of my family''s alchemy knowledge on how to be a rank 4 alchemy master in the shortest time," Mason proudly started his bragging using his family name. "If you ask for a reasonable price, I don''t mind taking it," Barett looked at Mason and said seriously. Chapter 250: Bidding War

250 Bidding War

Everyone looked at Barret with a surprise and didn''t try topete with him. Almost all families and sects have their own techniques in various fields, so many cultivators don''t show any interest in other families'' techniques. However, when they saw Barret take an initiate for an item that was not that valuable, everyone was surprised for a moment. "Really? That book can help one be the rank 4 alchemy master," Ajax asked with doubt as he believed that there were no shortcuts in cultivation and alchemy except for system though. ''Hmph, a lowly peasant,'' Seeing the curious Ajax, Barret scoffed in a whisper. Barret was unable to calm his anger seeing Ajax''s curiosity every time they took out some items. Also, since he was sitting in his best friend''s chair made him increase his anger even more. However, he was unable to say anything to Ajax as Levi was backing him. "Huh?" Ajax felt mocking from Barret''s gaze, and his facial expression became serious. "Yes, it has all the techniques and knowledge of my family alchemy masters. So it''s an invaluable thing. However, we all know each for a while now, I will take this out for the exchange," Mason felt good to brag with his item as he exined more about the book in his hand. "Then, I want that item too," Ajax loudly said to Mason. Ajax didn''t want topete with Barret initially, but when he felt the mocking gaze on Barret''s face, he wanted to take that item. ''Since I need that item anyway, I will spend more on it'' Ajax became ready to spend more than Barret. "Okay then. As we have twopetitors for my item, whoever bids will have it," Mason became excited that his item had twopetitors and asked them to bid for themselves. "Don''tpare me with this lo¡­ one," When Barret heard Mason''s words, he immediately stood up and shouted. "Do you dare to finish the word you wanted to call him?" Levi''s exuded his aura and coldly asked. "Levi, don''t use your high cultivation to suppress me," Barret replied to Levi in a cold voice before turning to Mason and asked, "Name a price." "I already said, the one with the highest bid can take the book," Mason didn''t show any fear in front of Barret and cleared stated his condition. "I said I want the item," Barret asked once again. "Barret, don''t break the rules. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter here ever again," Levi took out his dimensional key while he was talking to Barret. "Hmph," When he saw what Levi was about to do, Barret immediately sat down in his chair and seriously looked at Ajax. "I will give 100k spirit stones for the book," Barret bid for Mason''s book with a smirk on his face. After saying that, Barret looked at Ajax to bid for the item. "Hahaha," when Levi heard those words, he could not withhold hisughter and looked at Barret with a funny expression. "Who are you teaching the rules? I was the one that created those rules, I know better than anyone," Levi scoffed at Barret, and inside his head, he thought, ''Ajax is richer than me in spirit stones, fool.'' "I bid 101k spirit stones," Ajax increased the bid without any hesitation. "110K spirit stones," Barret said with an angry expression. "Let''s make it 111k spirit stones, hehe" Ajax once again raised the bid by 1000 spirit stones that made Barret furious. ''Damn, I know what are you want to do, Now increase the bid for this one,'' Barret made a n and said, "I bid 200k spirit stones." "Holy God," Mason shouted out loud when he saw that Barret increased the price directly by a 90k spirit stones. ''I don''t know that a single copy of my family''s alchemy tips would be this valuable,'' Mason thought in his head and became proud of his family. ''Now increase the price, peasant,'' Barret was looking at Ajax with a smile on his face. "Ajax, just leave the bid. The original price of that book is already crossed by 10k spirit stones," As everyone was in their thoughts, Levi asked Ajax to stop bidding for the book. ''Damn Levi, why are you interfering in my ns,'' when Barret heard Levi''s advice to Ajax, Barret didn''t feel right. "201k spirit stones," Ajax smiled at Levi and then turned to Mason to bid. ''That''s the spirit, peasant,'' Barret became excited and said, "Let him take that item, I will not bid for it." "Okay," Mason nodded his head and said, "Okay, Ajax. You can take this book after paying me 201k spirit stones." Mason didn''t feel bad for Ajax, as he thought, ''since he was the one that decided to bid, then he must have that money on him.'' "If you don''t pay, You will be crippled, hehe," Barretughed after saying his words. "Who said I don''t have money?" Ajax scoffed at Barret and shook his head. "Brother Mason, check the spirit stones in it," While scoffing, he threw two space rings towards Mason, who caught them and quickly started counting the spirit stoned in the space rings. "Yes, they indeed have 201k spirit stones, Ajax here is your item," After saying that, Mason threw the alchemy tips book to Ajax. Ajax didn''t check the alchemy book and immediately stored in his inventory to use itter when he returned to his room. "Mason, do take sides with Levi, let me show those space rings," Barret was in a shock when he heard Mason''s words, and he was unable to believe that Ajax had 200k+ spirit stones in him. "Barret, I don''t have to take sides with anyone, the transaction amount was urate and If I allow you to check those space rings, it will be against my morals. So, you can fucking sit in your chair and don''t order around like you own this ce," Mason excluded his aura and coldly said to barret. Ajax was shocked to see this side of Mason because from the start, he thought Mason was an easygoing person. However, the most important thing was after that warning, what happened made Ajax even more shocked. ... Chapter 251: Three conditions

251 Three conditions

To his shock, Barret sat in his chair like a wife who was scolded by her husband. "Pfft" Ajax could not control hisugh when he saw the expression on Barret''s face. "Hahaha," Not only Ajax but the rest of the members alsoughed, making Barret even angrier. ''Just you wait, I will make you all pay for today''s insults,'' Barret silently thought in his head and swore in his heart. "Brother Levi, take out your items," Mason returned to his easygoing mood and asked Levi to brig out his items. "Sorry guys, I don''t have any items now¡­.Sigh," Levi''s happy mood suddenly turned sore and sighed. "What? Brother Levi, we mostlye for your items. How can you do this to us," Mason said with a pained expression. "Yes, brother. What happened to you this time?" the silent Quin brothers also asked with a worried expression. "There was a small incident beforeing here. So, there will be no items this time," Levi replied and didn''t give any chance to others and continued, "If no has anything to exchange, let''s conclude the exchange meeting." After saying this, he looked at everyone before looking at Ajax with a smile. ''Is that incident rted to why he was working in the store,'' Looking at the smile, Ajax understood one thing. Levi doesn''t want to speak about that incident and indirectly asked Ajax not to ask anything about it. "Since no one has anything to exchange now, let''s conclude this meeting. Also, does anyone wants their contracted elemental spirits to fight a friendly spar?" seeing that no one took out any items, Levi immediately concluded the exchanging session and started a new session that made Ajax a little surprise. ''So everyone here is a summoner,'' Ajax became excited and curiously waited for the elemental spirit battle. From the start, Ajax thought that they were all official summoners just like Cortez, so he was only surprised a little. "Yes, I will challenge Quin brothers," Mason replied to Levi and looked at the twins, "What do you say guys say?" "Sure, why can''t we have a free reward, Hehe" both of the twins looked at Mason andughed. "What about others?" Levis nodded his head at Mason and Qun brothers before looking at the girls and Barret to ask. "We are disappointed with you, brother Levi. We will only watch the battles for this time," Olivia and Ste shook their head. ''Senior brother''s items are that good?'' Although their faces were covered with masks, Ajax could guess that they were really sad, which made him look Levi in a different light. ording to him, these girls who didn''t even put a mid-level upgrade stone in their eyes were waiting for Levi''s items. So, Ajax could directly guess how valuable his things would be. He casually promised and looked at Barret. "Is your brother, a summoner?" Barret asked Levi and looked at Ajax. "He has nothing to do with the meeting, so leave him out," Levi raised his brows and looked at Barret as though he knew what Barret was thinking. "Why it has nothing to do with him? Didn''t he bid for the items?" Barret looked at Levi and said without any anger. ''Let''s see how you gonna save him this time. Although it''s only an elemental spirit battle, let me vent my anger on his elemental spirit,'' However, Barret was coldlyughing as he thought about this inside his heart. "You don''t need to exin rules to me. Also, even if he was a summoner, he can reject the battle," Levi shook his head at Barret''s ignorance. "I know he can reject me, but I doubt that he is not a crowd," Barret smirked, looking at Ajax. However, Ajax turned to Levi and asked, "Senior brother Levi, how can I join these exchange meetings regrly and be a member of this group??? "Oh, you want to join us regrly? Good," Levi nodded his head at Ajax''s words and continued, "As long as you meet three conditions, you can join our group." Ajax didn''t disturb him and focused on his words to know about the three conditions. "First, you should be a human," "Second, you need a rmendation from one of the members of this group." "And the most important one, you should be an official summoner with at least two elemental spirits," Levi slowly exined the conditions to biome a part of their group. "Since you are human and I will be rmending you to this group, you automatically met two conditions and as for thest condition is with you," Levi''s words made Ajax smile and felt good to have another senior brother. "I am an official summoner," Ajax nodded his head. "Good, I felt you are a summoner form the beginning," Levi smiled and asked, "Just summon your two elemental spirits for us to see and you can attend the meetings regrly." All members looked at Ajax with a smile except for Barret, though. He was waiting for Ajax to join their group and thinking a n to make his elemental spirits fight with his elemental spirits. "Hmm," Ajax agreed and summoned Volcanis and Necros, who were having high cultivations in his elemental spirit team. Soon, two silhouettes, one orange, and another ck came out of his spirit consciousness and stood before him. "Volcanis and Necros, meet senior brother Levi and others," Ajax introduced his elemental spirits to others. "Good, now take this dimensional key and you can enter this inner space of the essence absorbing tree at a specific time we decide and join the exchange meetings," Levi nodded his head and gave him a dimension key after seeing the two elemental spirits. "Thanks, senior brother Levi," Ajax took the dimensional key and thanked Levi. "By the way, don''t say about this?group to anyone and don''t bring anyone with you to this ce. Even if you wanted to bring, you can''t bring them anyway," Levis exined some more rules to Ajax. "Ok sure, Senior brother Levi," Ajax understood that the dimension key in Ajax''s inventory could only bring him into a dimensional crevice. Still, it won''t allow entering the essence absorbing tree. ''However, with this new dimension key, I can enter this pce, haha,'' Ajax felt good that he coulde to this ce regrly from now on. "Senior brother Levi, what is this group?" Chapter 252: Elemental Spirit Battle

252 Elemental Spirit Battle

Author''s note:- A small request for readers, please buy a single coin privilege and help Author will the event. ......... Although Ajax stayed in the group for a while now, he didn''t really know what it is and who is behind this. Until now, he only knew two things about the group. This group was to exchange things between the group members, and after that, there was another session called elemental spirit battle, which was to allow the elemental spirits of the group members to fight each other. So, he asked Levi to know more about it. "Before we start our elemental spirit battle session, anyone cares to exin about us to the new member of our group," Levi didn''t answer Aajx''s question about the group directly; instead, he turned towards the group members and asked them to exin. "Wee to the Exchange Group. It is as it name sound, where you can exchange the items you don''t need with either spirit stones or the item you need," Mason started exining about their little group. "There is another session other than item exchange. It is the elemental spirit battle, in which you can send your elemental spirits to battle the other group member elemental spirits," After Mason, one of Quin brothers exined about the second session of their group meeting. "However, before that, both the parties should agree on a prize between themselves to make the fight interesting and serious," another Quin brother added slowly. "As for the timings of the meeting, it will be at the same time every month," Olivia finished the exnation with the timings. "And whoever has the highest cultivation can be the leader of the group and look over others," Ste added the thing forgotten by the rest of the group members. "Oh, thanks to everyone, for exining to me," Ajax thanked them for their exnation. ''So, senior brother has the highest cultivation here,'' Ajax finally gained a basic understanding of the group. "Cough, since the introductions are over, let''s focus on the elemental spirit battle," Barret coughed a little to get all the group members attention. "Ajax, if you don''t want your elemental spirits to fight, then you can reject his challenge," Levi looked at Ajax''s elemental spirits and said to Ajax. Levi thought that Ajax elemental spirit would notst much time against Barret''s, so he hinted Ajax about a rule in the elemental spirit battle. Among all the members those present around Ajax, only Levi knew the actual cultivation of Ajax, and ording to his cultivation, his elemental spirits already have good cultivation. However, Levi knew that was not enough to go against Barret''s elemental spirits. "Yes, Hehe" When Levi heard Ajax''s words, heughed and agreed with Ajax. "Let me make the prizes for the winner in our battle clear first," Barret shook his head and continued, "If you win, I will give you a Dark elemental spiritmander stone and if you lose, you just have to kneel in front of me. What do you say, Ajax." After saying his words, Barret looked at Ajax for an answer. "Barret, you are out of your mind for waging that Elemental spirit stone, and don''t you feel any shame in asking him to kneel if he lost?" Before Ajax could give any reply, Levi shouted at Barret in anger. "Shameless as usual," All the members of the group scoffed at Barret''s shamelessness. Even though they don''t know Ajax''s real cultivation, they could see the cultivation of his elemental spirits, which were still in themander realm. They also knew that Barret''s elemental spirits have long broken through to the elitemander realm. "What is shamelessness here? I am the one who is taking losses here, while he had to simply kneel which will cost him nothing," Barret, which thick-skinned sharp face acted as aa righteous one. "Okay, I will ept your challenge, if you add another condition to my reward," Ajax didn''t bother with Barret''s shamelessness and said with a smile on his face. "Ajax, don''t fall into his trap," Levi immediately tried to stop. "Sure, what is it?" Barret was excited to hear Ajax''s words. Barret didn''t give Levi any time to continue his preaching to Ajax and immediately agreed to Ajax''s request. "Along with the elemental spirit stone, you need to kneel in front of me, what do you say?" Ajax said with a mock on his face. "Hahaha hahaha." All the membersughed at Ajax''s words as it was the first time that someone asked him to kneel. "You..," Barret infuriated with Ajax''s words, and the group membersugh, but he suppressed it. ''Since I am going to win the elemental spirit battle anyway, let him be happy for a moment,'' With this thought, he sessfully managed to suppress his anger. "Okay, I agree to your condition," Barret agreed to Ajax''s condition without any hesitation. "Ajax, are you sure, you want to let your elemental spirits fight his spirits?" Levi slowly asked with a worried face. "I can handle it," Ajax nodded his head and thought, ''Since it''s been more than 24 hours, I can use the bloodline once again without losing control.'' His Abyssal beast god''s bloodline had a cooldown time of 24 hours, and it''s been more than 24 hours since hest used it, so he felt confident in winning the fight. "Okay then. Let''s move to the battleground," Levi nodded his head and moved towards a corner where the candlelight was not reaching. The rest of the group members followed behind him, so Ajax also curiously followed to the battleground that Levi mentioned. After entering the darkness, Ajax felt that his body moved on its own towards a specific direction and soon reached a vast open area. "Mason and Quin brothers, let your elemental spirit battle first," Levi ordered them to fight first. "Mason, what do you want 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2," One of the quin brothers asked Mason about the battle type? "Two versus two," Mason proudly replied. "We will give you the seeds of rank 5 Jade oregano if you win," Quin brothers said their wage for the battle. "If I lose, I will give a 5 percent discount on all the rank 5 and below pills, What do you say?" Mason thought for a moment and announced his bet for the battle. "Okay, let''s start," As soon as the Quin brothers agreed, some silhouette came out of Mason and Quin brothers'' spirit consciousness. Chapter 253: Damage transfer

253 Damage transfer

A total of four silhouettes came out of the three members. Mason summoned two orange coloured elemental spirits whereas Quin''s brothers summoned two brown coloured elemental spirits. "Pyroc, Fernis, go and show them your firepower," Mason ordered his two fire elemental spirits. "Turve, Tera. Let them show your endurance," Quin brother ordered their earth elemental spirits and looked at the fight. "Woah," Among all the group members, Ajax was the only one who was excited the most as it was his first time seeing the battle between other official summoners. "So, Mason has fire elementals and Quin brothers have earth elemental spirits," Ajax nodded his head and looked at the battle to see what skills those elementals would use. Mason and Quin brothers didn''t bother to order their elemental spirits and allowed them to fight as they like. Mason''s fire elemental spirits started their first attack that surprised Ajax a lot. The fire elemental merged together and became one entity and rushed towards the earth elementals. ''Ding, Skill name:-?Merge (level 1) Description:- A rare skill that would be awakened by the summoner which merges the two elemental spirits into one entity increase the battle prowess by two times. Ajax tried to check the skill they used. To his surprise, he got a system notification that exined the skill. ''So, it is Mason''s awakened ability,'' Ajax nodded his head and continued to watch the fight. Before the merged fire elemental reached the earth elementals, the solid ground turned wet and became muddy that made thebined fire elemental lose momentum and fell. The earth elemental spirits didn''t give it any time and released a barrage of mud bullets at it. The fire elemental spirit in the mud didn''t take those mud bullets seriously and casually waved his hand. As he waved his hand many small fireballs appeared and devoured the mud bullets in mid-air. "Who do you think will win, little brother Ajax," As the elemental spirits were fighting, Olivia came to Ajax and slowly whispered in his ears. All of a sudden, Ajax turned red when he saw how close Olivia stood beside him. "I think Mason will win," Ajax said the answer without thinking much. Ajax concluded Mason as the winner from the moment he saw the elemental spirits. It was amon knowledge that fire had an elemental advantage over mud element, which was a sub-element of Earth. "Really? You think Mason will win?" Olivia shook her head and looked at the elemental spirits battle. "You are wrong Ajax. I think you are solely basing your answer depending on the elemental advantage but there are other factors that affect the fight, see you will know," Levi also shook his head and exined more about the elemental spirits. The fight continued for more than a few minutes beforeing to an end. "Wow," While watching the fight, Ajax was excited with each attack from either side of the elemental spirits, and till the end, he thought the fire elemental spirit would win, but to his surprise, the mud-elemental spirit countered with an unexpected attack that made his hair rise. ''Ding, Skill:- Damage transfer (level 3) Description:- A skill that will transfer all the damage taken by the elemental spirit to the attacker with an additional increment. ''Isn''t that the same skill that Dabrus'' first skill?'' Ajax was once again surprised by the skill that was projected on the holographic screen. ''So, that means Dabrus can also ovee the elemental advantage?'' Ajax felt that he had to summon Dabrus out of the inner world, once he bes strong enough. "Mason, don''t forget the 5 percent discount," Quin brothers smilingly mentioned their prizes before summoning back their elemental spirits. "Sure, here take this token. It will give you a 5 percent discount in all of my family''s shops but remember only pills below rank 5," Mason threw a token towards them with a happy face and summoned back his fire elemental spirits into his spirit consciousness. "Huh?" Seeing the smiling face on Mason, Ajax felt puzzled. ''Why is heughing like a fool even if he lost?'' Ajax actual inner thought was this about Mason. "It''s not a loss for him. In fact, he benefited from the battle," Levi smilingly exined to Ajax seeing the confusion on his face. "How?" Ajax wondered how it benefited him, so he immediately asked. "Every time his elemental spirit genuinely lost a battle its cultivation increases a little bit along with battle prowess and as for the 5 percent discount, it will increase the sales for his family," Levi exined and looked at Mason was walking towards them. "I need 2 or 3 battles to lose to for reaching the general realm, haha" Masonughed while he was walked towards them. "Since the first battle is over, shall we start our battle Ajax?" Barret who came from behind Ajax asked him with a cunning smile. "Barret, aren''t you very impatient today? Or you are that eager to kneel in front of Ajax?" Levi mocked Barret for being impatient. "Sure, How about we also do a two elemental spirits battle?" Ajax asked, agreeing with Barret. Barret wanted to scold Levi, but before he even say anything, he heard Ajax''s voice which made him stop his actions. "Sure, let''s do 2 vs 2 then," Barret was more than eager to kill Ajax''s elemental spirits, so he was even more excited that he could kill two elemental spirits. "Let me say the rules of the elemental spirit battle," Levi felt something was amiss when he saw Barret was more excited than usual, so he wanted clear the thing, "As long as the elemental spirits admit defeat, the match has to be stopped immediately and the winning side elemental spirits should stop attacking." "As we know that," Barret understood Levi''s intentions, so he replied irritatedly. "You also know the consequences of breaking that rule, right?" Levi smirked as he once asked Barret. "Yeah, I know and I don''t need you to make me remember that. Hehe," Barret replied with an irritated smile. "Ajax, as long as you feel anything wrong, don''t hesitate to give up," Levi warned Ajax not to be a fool while fighting. "Yes, senior brother Levi," Ajax nodded his head and summoned his elemental spirits onto the battlefield and looked at Barret. Chapter 254: Elemental spirit battle 2

254 Elemental spirit battle 2

''He sure wants to fight my elemental spirits with those? I think the statement ''Ignorance is a bliss'' is true,'' Barret felt that Ajax was truly a fool to agree to his request. ''Just for an elemental spirit stone, he wanted to try an impossible fight to win,'' Barret thought that Ajax was tempted by his elemental spirit stone and wanted to fight for it, so he looked down on Ajax even more. "Okay, Ajax. Since your elemental spirits are still in the elemental spiritmander realm, I will only use my two unofficial elemental spirits," Barret acted as a magnanimous person as he summoned two dark elemental spirits. Soon, two ck coloured elemental spirits came out of Barret''s spirit consciousness. "Meet Manes and Vilis, both are dark elemental spirits and they are my unofficial elemental spirits which are weaker than my official elemental spirits," Barret introduced his elemental spirits to Ajax and acted as a big brother. But inside he thought, ''Just you wait, I will kill those elemental spirits of yours and then watch you cry, hehe.'' "Ho, dark elemental spirits?" Ajax was surprised for a moment and observed them carefully. "Yes, since you are a dual elemental summoner, I want to see who you can deal with 4 minor realms higher than your elemental spirits," Barret looked at Volcanis and Necros and said to Ajax. All of the group members were not surprised at Ajax''s dual elemental spirits except for Levi, because the ce where they havee from, it was considered an average talent and nothing worth celebrating. Unless there was an auxiliary elemental spirit in one of them, no one would be surprised. The reason Levi was surprised at Ajax''s dual elemental spirits was that he knew the true origins of Ajax. It wasmon knowledge that it was very hard to be an official summoner in the Zrochester province and when he saw that Ajax was not only an official summoner, but he also had an affinity with two elements made him shocked. However, he didn''t show it on his face. He also believed that Ajax had what it takes to win the fight against Barret''s elemental spirits. So, he didn''t try to stop Ajax and was excited to see the battle between Ajax''s elemental spirits and Barret''s elemental spirits. Nevertheless, there was still worry in his heart that Barret might do something unexpected. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Manes Element:- Dark type Cultivation:- Level 7 elite spiritmander realm ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Vilis Element:- Dark type Cultivation:- Level 6 elite spiritmander realm "Good, I think I can win this easily," Ajax first checked the cultivations of the dark elemental spirits and nodded his head, and he became confident that he could win this battle. ''Volcanis, Necros, we have to win this fight no matter what, understand?'' Ajax ordered his elemental spirits through voice transmission. ''Yes, summoning master,'' Both of them nodded and looked at the dark elemental spirits that stood in front of them. "Manes, Vilis, don''t fight with all your strength," Barret loudly said to his elemental spirits; however through the voice transmission he said another, ''Kill them as soon as you can.'' "Sure, summoning master," Both Manes and Vilis nodded their heads with a cunning smile on their transparent faces. "Now, start the fight," Levi shouted loudly announcing the start of the battle. As soon as they heard Levi''s words, both the dark elemental spirits released a ck smoke from their body covering the sight of all the onlookers. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see the ck smoke that even blocked his spirit sense and along with the spiritmunication between him and his elemental spirits. ''He is trying to kill Ajax''s elemental spirits, I should ask Ajax to admit defeat,'' Levi knew everything about Barrets and Cortez''s true nature, so he quickly found out the inner thoughts of Barret with just the opening attack and immediately turned to Ajax said through the voice transmission, ''If you are unable to contact with your elemental spirits, it''s better to admit defeat.'' ''I will try and if I feel hopeless, then I will admit defeat,'' Ajax replied to Levi through the same voice transmission. Although he said that, he never nned to admit defeat before putting an actual fight. ''I think, he is nning to kill your elemental spirits, so better hurry up and admit defeat,'' Levi clearly saw through Ajax''s inner thoughts and warned him once again. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to hear and wondered, ''why is that Barret wants to kill my elemental spirits.'' Until now, Ajax thought that Barret only wanted him to kneel but never in his wildest dream, Ajax imagined that Barret actually wants to kill his elemental spirits. ''You want to kill my elemental spirits? Let''s see,'' Ajax eyes turned serious as he looked at the ck smoke on the battlefield. ''Abyssal beast god''s bloodline, activate,'' Ajax didn''t waste a second and activated his new bloodline after he found out that barret''s elemental spirits nned to kill his elemental spirits. As soon as he activated, he felt the energy in him started rising and that he tried to use his spirit sense once again to check on his elemental spirits. However, this time he was barely able to see his elemental sprits that were covered in injures and checking their surroundings for the next possible attack on them. Just as he checked on them, he noticed their strength was also rising slowly. Ajax didn''t even wait for them to receive the boost from the bloodline before ordering them, "Volcanis, don''t hesitate to use your full strength. Use inferno," The voice transmission through the spirit contract also returned back once he activated his bloodline, but it was not strong enough to sustain the transmission for long enough. As soon as he received Ajax''s orders, Volcanis orange bodypletely covered in orange mes. If one noticed clearly they could see a hint of purple me in that orange me. However, no one could even see the elemental spirits properly much less the small purple outline in those orange mes. After giving his orders, the spirit transmission was once again cut off making Ajax shock, but he was less worried that Volcanis strength had sessfully crossed the Level 2 general realm when hest saw Volcanis before the ck smoke once again blocked him. ''Do your best Volcanis,'' Ajax''s all hopes are only on Volcanis. ''I wonder why Necros didn''t even summon his undead soldiers and calmly sat on the ground. Previously, when he was barely able to sense the elemental spirit in the battlefield, he saw that Necros sat cross-legged on the ground without even summoning his undead soldiers and worried about him. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Tach'' Soon the onlookers were able to hear loud noises from the ck smoke, and that elemental spirits started fighting each other. ''You can do it, Volcanis,'' Ajax prayed for Volcanis as he was only one who knew what was truly happening inside the battlefield. ''Huh? I think I should do that,'' suddenly Ajax was struck with an idea at a crucial time. Chapter 255: Necros opens eyes

255 Necros opens eyes

Just when he prayed for Volcanis to win the battle, he suddenly got an idea. "System, transfer all the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness to Necros," Ajax immediately thought to transfer the essence of nature. After the system upgraded, it made a change that the host could not use the essence of nature to breakthrough to another realm directly for the beings above themander realm or elemental spiritmander. However, that doesn''t mean he could not use his essence of nature to transfer his summoned being to fill their spirit consciousness and forcefully breakthrough their cultivation. So, when he thought about Necros, peak elemental spiritmander realm cultivation, Ajax thought that using his 6000 units of the essence of nature, he could bring Necros'' cultivation to the elitemander realm. ''And, with the boost form my bloodline, he can easily manage them,'' Ajax thought as hoped it goes as he nned. ''Ding, Transferring 6000 units of the essence of nature to Necros. As soon as he said that, a system notification chimed in his head. He felt, the essence of nature in spirit consciousness bing lower and lower. It continued until he was left with only 200+ units in his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, Necros sessfully reached the elite elemental spiritmander realm. ''What? Why is it so fast?'' Ajax was surprised at how fast, his elemental spirit breakthrough to the next major realm. ''I think, due to that ck mist and Necros'' earlier weird behaviour might be the reason for his easy breakthrough,'' Ajax thought in his head, and he also wanted to check the new skill gained by Necros, but due that ck smoke hindering his sight, he was unable to check it. "Now, I can finally rx, Uff," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Levi, who was entirely focused on the battlefield as though he was trying to figure out what was happening in that ck smoke. At the same time, there was a worried look on his face which made Ajax shook his head. However, his heart was warmed. "Senior brother Levi, no need to worry. I got this under control," Ajax aksed Levi no to worry about the elemental spirit battle. Levi was worried that if the Ajax''s elemental spirits were killed in the battle, it would bacsh on Ajax''s cultivation. "Really?" Levi raised his brows and asked as he didn''t believe Ajax''s words. "Yes. Just wait for some time, you will know," Ajax said with a rxing smile which made Levi believe his words a little. ''Why the hell this elemental spirits still not killed them?'' As Ajax and Levi were talking, Barret raised his brows and thought. He felt that his elemental spirits were taking more time than he thought and became angry. ''Damn, fools, just kill them already,'' Through his voice transmission, he contacted his elemental spirits and ordered them. ''Summoning master, this fire elemental spirit''s fire attacks are way too powerful than our attacks. If we are not careful, we will be burned to death,'' Manes replied to Barret as soon as Barret ordered them to kill the two elemental spirits. ''What do you mean? You two are almost one major realm higher than that fire elemental spirit and you say, you can''t defeat him,'' Barret angrily discussed with his elemental spirits. ''Summoning master, th....,'' ''What about the other elemental spirit?'' Before his elemental spirit, Manes could say something, Barret interjected and asked about Necros. ''Huh? As soon as we released ourbined ck smoke, he immediately sat on the ground and started cultivating, Hehe'' Viliis, replied while attacking Volcanis. ''So, you both can''t even manage amon fire elemental spirit? And even dare to smile at the other elemental spirits. First, finish that cultivating elemental spirit andter kill the fire elemental spirit,'' Barret scolded both of his unofficial elemental spirits and ordered to kill Necros first and then Volcanis. ''Yes, summoning master,'' Manes replied before rushed towards the cross-legged Necros and left Volcanis to Vilis. "You have to go through me to kill him?" Volcanis roared and tried to rush towards Necros, to stop Manes from killing him. "You have to fight me, first," However, before Volcanis could even take a few steps, Vilis blocked Volcanis way and smiled at him. "Get out of my way," Volcanis said with a low voice, but there was something in that voice that made Vilis pause for a moment. ''Why can''t I move,'' as he was unable to move, a huge fire asteroid came from the sky andnded on him. After his fire asteroid skill, Volcanis didn''t even bother to nce at Vilis who was crushed to the ground by the fire asteroid and rushed towards Necros. "Stop right there," Volcanis used his fasted speed and ran after Manes. However, it was stillte for Volcanis to catch Mane before he reached Necros. When Manes was only a few meters away from Necros, his hand turned into a sharp knife and aimed it at Necros'' chest where the elemental spirit stone was situated. "No," Volcanis who was in the distance roared and stopped in his tracks as he knew he wouldn''t be able to stop him. "Hehe," Manes''s hand didn''t pierce Necros''s chest immediately; instead, he looked at the stopped Volcanis andughed as he slowly moved his knife hand towards Necros. Just when Manes hand about to reach touch Necros'' chest, Necros opened his eyes, and a ''Puchi'' sound came at the same time. "What?" Manes was shocked to see the there was a sword in his chest that was pierced by someone from behind. He wanted to check who sneak attacked him, but before he could turn, another sword was pierced through his chest. "Please take out those swords from my body," Manes felt a pain that could be described in words and begged them to remove the swords from his body. ''Puchi,'' Instead of removing the swords, another new sword was pierced into his body. This time he didn''t have any time to beg as he was dead when the third sword pierced him. Without knowing who killed him, Manes died just like that. "Thanks, Volcanis," After opening his eyes, Necros didn''t even nce at Manes but looked at Volcanis in the distance and waved his hand excitedly. ... Chapter 256: Necros calmness

256 Necros'' calmness

"Why are you thanking me when you are the one who killed him?" Volcanis felt envy that Necros was able to break through to the next major realm and asked him. "For giving me time to break thought to the elite elemental spiritmander realm," Necros smiled. Volcanis nodded his head and stared at the three undead summons that had the elitemander realm''s strength with awe. Each of the undead summons had a heavy sword in their hands that made them looked like knights. "You can summon three of them now?" Volcanis asked Necros after staring at them for a while. Previously, Necros was able to summon two undead beings, but now, that was increased to three, and also, these undead summons looked even more powerful and stronger than the earlier ones. "Yes, after my breakthrough, my ''Undead Summons'' skill level increased and I was able to summon three now," Necros nodded his head as he exined. ''I hope the summoning master builds one elemental paradise for me soon,'' Volcanis stopped feeling jealousy on Necros and hoped for Ajax to build one fire elemental paradise for him. "I WILL KILL YOU," As they talked, a burnt silhouette stood up from the ce where Volcanis''s fire asteroidnded and shouted at them loudly. "Huh? You didn''t die yet?" When Volcanis saw the burnt elemental spirit, he mocked him. Volcanis and Necros were not as afraid as they were in the starting. "YOUUU," Vilis angered at Volcanis'' mocking and looked into the distance where he saw his teammate wasid on the ground without breathing. "You killed him?" After seeing Manes'' dead body, he was paused for a second and asked Necros. "No, he was killed by myckeys, hehe," Necros cunninglyughed as he answered. "I will make you pay for what you did," Vilis immediately closed his eyes and muttered something. As he muttered for some time, Manes'' dead body, which wasid on the ground, started to hover towards Vilis slowly. "What is he doing," Volcanis didn''t feel good seeing Manes''s body floated towards Viles and asked Necros. Since Necros was also a dark elemental spirit, Volcanis assumed he might know something about it. "I don''t know what it is, but it is definitely not good for us," As soon as he replied to him, he looked at his three undead summons which were closest to the body and nodded his head. Immediately, the three undead summons rushed after the body to stop it from reaching Vilis. However, as though the body sensed the three undead summons after it, it increased its speed, and before they could reach half of the distance, Manes'' body entered into Vilis. "What the heck! Is it merging with the dead body?" Volcanis asked Necros. "Same as Devour, but at the same time not? I don''t understand," Volcanis felt his head was spinning with Necros'' words as he didn''t understand anything. "When I used my devour, it helps me increase my cultivation by a little permanently, however, this guy''s skill is temporarily increasing his cultivation to the peak of the elemental elite spiritmander realm," Necros clearly exined as he noticed the strength of Vilis increased to the peak of the elite spiritmander realm. "Huh?" Volcanis nodded his head and suddenly shouted, "How can you still say that calmly." Volcanis felt irritated at the calmness Necros was showing even with a powerful enemy in front of them. "There is nothing to worry, as long as he doesn''t have any more trump cards under his sleeves, we can still win this," Necros smiled as though he was lecturing a junior. "Hmpf," Volcanis felt irritated by Necros, who acted as a senior when he was way too younger than him and harrumphed. .... A few moments earlier, outside the battlefield, Although Ajax was unable to contact his elemental spirits, he was not worrying much as he had full confidence in his elemental spirits and not to forget the boost they were receiving from the Abyssal beast god''s bloodline. So, he was asking all the questions he wanted to know about the dimensional crevice and who formed this exchange group and how it really works. For all his questions about the exchange group, Levi simply replied, "You will know after you attend the meetings regrly for a period of time." After that reply, Ajax stopped asking about the group and focused his questions on the dimensional crevice. "Are there other dimension crevices?" "Yes, there are many dimensional crevices other than this one. Also, it was only a level dimensional crevice, so there are many others with higher levels," Levi revealed a piece of important information that Ajax didn''t know before. "Level 1?" Ajax looked at Levi with a shock on his face. "Yes, the higher the level of the dimensional crevice, the richer will the essence of nature and change is time speed. This level 1 dimension crevice has the same time ratio and the same essence of nature whenpared to the outside world," Levi exined slowly and looked at the battlefield, hoping that he could find something. However, his hope never became true when he looked at the battlefield. Not only did the ck smoke blocked their vision but also the noises from inside the battlefield. ''This world sure is interesting. I should explore more and get to know about all of them,'' Ajax thought and asked Levi, "Senior brother, there are many shops and some rules in the dimension crevice, I wonder who governs the dimensional crevices." Since there were rules in this dimensional crevice, he assumed that there would be simr rules in other dimension crevices. So, he wondered, who punishes, if anyone breaks the rule. "Huh?" Levi looked at Ajax and asked, "Isn''t this your first time to a dimensional crevice?" "Yes," Ajax replied, nodding his head. "And you already figured, it is ruled by someone. It took me 3-4 times entry into this dimensional crevice to notice that this crevice is governed by someone," Levi embarrassedly said about hisck of focus on his surroundings and continued, "Every dimensional crevice will be ruled by only a single person and he writes his own rules." "A single person? Who is he?" Ajax asked, looking at Levi. ... Chapter 257: Rules of a dimensional crevice

257 Rules of a dimensional crevice

"Actually, I don''t know too," Levi rubbed the back of his head as he replied to Ajax. "..." Ajax became speechless, and he doesn''t know what to ask anymore. "I only heard that he was an old man with an unknown cultivation, but no one truly saw him," Levi said about the dimensional crevice owner, from what he heard. "Then, how does he punish the rule breakers? And also, those who kept their stores in here," Ajax asked without thinking much. ording to Ajax, someone had to see the Dimensional crevice owner when there were many stores, and many beings thate and go to this dimensional crevice would break at least a single rule. "Do you know the punishment for breaking the rules of this Dimension crevice?" Levi became serious all of a sudden and asked Ajax. "No," Ajax shook his head when he saw the seriousness on Levi''s face. "It''s instant death. If you break any rule here then you don''t even know how you died," Levi seriously said as though he was warning Ajax to be careful in the future. "By the way senior brother, what are the rules for people like us," Ajax nodded his head after hearing Levi''s words and asked the actual rules of this dimensional crevice. Ajax only knew that there would be rules for a ce like this, and he also heard from the watch guards at the entrance that I should not cause any trouble. Other than this, he doesn''t any more rules, so he asked Levi about them. "..." Levis became speechless. "..." The other group members who were close to them also became speechless when they heard Akax''s word. "Where the hell did youe from and how did you enter into this ce," Levi looked at other group members and took Ajax into a distance and asked. "Actually, I find this dimensional key on the ground in the Cursed Wilderness," As he said that, Ajax slowly took out the dimensional key he found in Cortez''s space ring. "What? Where did you find that?" Even though Ajax already said the location, Levi asked once again to confirm and was shocked when Ajax replied to the same answer. "No wonder, you didn''t know any rules," Soon, Levi''s shock turned into joy as he slowly said to Ajax, and he continued saying, "We all got the dimensional keys from our families and they already exined the rules to follow in the dimensional crevice." "Hmm," Ajax felt happy that Levi didn''t ask any question about Cortez, and he even noticed that this senior brother of his was happy at the death of Cortez. "Keep you identiy secret and don''t reveal to anyone, even to those from our group. Except for Mason, even I don''t know about others. You understand what I mean, right?" Levi warned Ajax once again not to reveal his identity. "Because he had the strength to protect himself and a powerful family was backing him," Levi said the reason why Mason didn''t bother about hiding his identity. "Now,ing back to the rules, there are only two. They are, one, you are not allowed to fight inside the real ck market and the second one was to not to stole anything from the real ck market," Levi slowly exined about the two rules of the dimension crevice. "Thanks senior brother, I will remember that," Ajax thanked Levi for exining many new things that were foreign to him. "No need to thank me, we are brothers right?" Levi shooked his head and asked Ajax. "Yes," Ajax replied and returned to others. ''Cough'' As soon as they returned, they heard someone cough and looked at Barret, who coughed a mouthful of blood all of a sudden. "Huh?" All the members looked at Barret and were shocked. They were shocked because they could already guess the reason behind his sudden coughing of Blood. ''Is something happened to Barret''s elemental spirits?'' ''Ajax''s elemental spirits are that strong?'' These were the only thoughts in the mind of the onlooking group members when they saw Barret. ''How is this possible? How is this possible?'' Barret''s thoughts were in a mess when one of his spirit contracts vanished from his spirit consciousness, and he lost the connection with Manes and muttered the same sentence again and again. He was felt all this was a dream and wanted to wake up soon. ''I thought, I can win easily but.. but..,'' Barret was unable to suppress his sadness from the death of his elemental spirit. From the beginning, Beret thought that he could easily win against Ajax''s elemental spirits, but the reality hit him very hard that he was unable to calm his emotions. Soon, his sadness turned into rage as he contacted his other elemental spirit, Vilis. ''Vili, use that skill and consume Manes'' body and finish those two elemental spirits and consume them too. I want to see only you after the ck smoke disappears. Remember, only you,'' Barret ordered Vilis in a fit of rage and stressed the ''only you'' words. ''But summoning master, how can I consume him?'' Vilis asked with a shocked expression on his face. "Not buts, just consume him and killthem. I will give you a general realm elemental spirit stone," Barret enticed Vilis with a reward that no elemental spirit could resist in order to motivate him to kill Ajax''s elemental spirits as soon as possible. ''Yes, summoning master,'' Vilis previous hesitation was nowhere to be seen on his face, and it was entirely covered with excitement as he agreed with Barret. "Barret what happened?" Levi already knew what might have happened, but nevertheless, he asked him. "One of my elemental spirits was killed by his elemental spirits. But worry not I am okay," Barret wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied to Levi with a forced smile. "What?" Even though he knew something might have happened to his elemental spirits, but he didn''t think one of them would be killed. "What?" Like Levi, all the other group members were shocked and looked at Ajax differently. To their reactions, Ajax smiled in reply; however, he was shocked by Barret''s words inside his heart. .... Chapter 258: Giant Undead

258 Giant Undead

''This is not what I had expected,'' Ajax continuously thought in his head. Even though he had the confidence that he would win the elemental spirit battle, he never expected his elemental spirits to kill Barret''s elemental spirit. ''Barret''s elemental spirits are more cruel than I thought,'' Ajax now got some idea of how brutal the fight was inside the smoke covered battlefield. He thought like that because his elemental spirits would not kill other elemental spirits unless he orders to kill them. However, now they killed an elemental spirit without his order, so he imagined that Barret''s elemental spirits might have used some cheaper tricks to kill his elemental spirits. ''However, who has the skill to kill one of those dark elemental spirits in such a short time?'' Ajax wondered about who killed Barret''s elemental spirit. ''Unless Necros got some new powerful skill, it was impossible for him to kill a level 7 elite spiritmander,'' Ajax didn''t think that Necros could kill the opponent elemental spirit with his old skills, so he thought that Volcanis had more chances of killing the elemental spirit. Since he had multiple boosts along with his powerful fire attacks, Volcanis could easily kill an elemental spirit if it was distracted even for a second. ''It doesn''t matter who killed the elemental spirit, as long as my elemental spirits are having an upper hand then it''s alright,'' Ajax shook his head and looked at Barret, who was also looking at him with hatred in his eyes. ''Brat, you dared to kill my elemental spirit. Better hide properly after leaving this real ck market because I am going to hunt you down,'' As he looked at barret, he heard Barret''s hated filled voice in his head. ''Oh. Good luck then,'' Ajax turned his head after wishing him ''Good luck.'' As he heard Ajax''s words, Barret gritted his teeth and swore that he would kill Ajax at any cost. ... Inside the battlefield, "Damn you, lowly peasants, you made me consume my teammate," Vilis looked at Volcanis and Necros and continued saying, "However, because of you, I can get a general realm elemental spirit stone from my summoning master. So I will give a painless death." Vilis'' initial anger disappeared and was excited at the reward that Barret promised. "What a shameless spirit. Because of your actions of consuming a friend, all beings think that dark elemental spirits are cruel and don''t have any emotion," Necros looked at Vilis and shook his head. "What did you say? Shameless? It is the power that Dark elemental spirits awaken," Vilis didn''t get angry with Necros'' words instead praised their kind and continued, "My guess is that you still didn''t awaken the devour skill. So you don''t understand it, Hahaha." "Sure,?? Volcanis nodded his head and rushed towards Vilis. Along the way, the fire on his body increased in size, and the colour of the me also slightly turned to purple. ''Sigh...he will never change,'' Necros thought they would both attack the dark elemental spirit in front of them. However, Volcanis rushed towards Vilis without a proper attacking strategy making Necros sigh. "Combine," After sighing, Necros looked at his undead summons, who were waiting for his orders with heavy swords in their hands and ordered. As soon as he said that word, all the three undead summons raised their heavy swords into the air, muttered something iprehensible. Within a few seconds, the three heavy swords merged into one and became two timesrger than a single heavy sword. Not only the heavy swords that were merged together, but the three undead summons were also merged and became a giant undead knight. "Go," Necros was satisfied with his single giant undead summon that had the strength of three times of a normal undead summon and ordered it to attack the Vilis. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Every step that giant undead summon took made a ground-shaking sound-making Volcanis and Vilis stop their fight for a moment to look at the iing giant undead. "What the heck! Is it his new skill?" When he saw the dead undead summon, Volcanis quickly thought of Necros'' new skill and shouted out loud with the excitement. "So, you lean towards summoning category," Vilis only looked at the giant undead for a moment before looking at Necros and asked. Even in the same elemental type, the elemental spirits have different types of attacks that were ssified into some categories. Categories were ssified as attacking, defending, scouting, summoning, healing, and many more. Some times, elemental spirits can have multiple sets of skills that fall under two different categories. The elemental spirits that only have one category were called ''Exclusive spirits,'' and the multiple categories elemental spirits were called ''Diverse spirits.'' For example, Volcanis all skills are fully focused on attacking, so he was called an Exclusive spirit, Whereas Paulin''s unofficial elemental spirit, cious, who had three different types of skills that were focused on attacking, defending and summoning. So he belongs to ''Diverse spirits''. Even though there were ssified into various types, there was not much difference between Exclusive and Diverse spirits. They have their own pros and cons. So, when Vilis saw that Necros'' two skills were focused on summoning, he assumed he was an Exclusive elemental spirit of summoning category. "It doesn''t matter which category I belong to. What matters now is your death," Necros didn''t want to talk with Vilis much, so he casually said and turned around not to look towards him. ''Finish it, quick,'' However, he ordered his giant undead summon to kill Vilis quickly. As soon as he said that, the speed of the giant undead increased all of a sudden, and within a few seconds, it already reached Vilis. "What?" Vilis was shocked at the sudden increment in the giant undead''s speed. The undead summon didn''t waste any time and swung its heaving sword at Vilis, who was only half its height. "Boom" The heavy sword barely missed Vilis andnded on the ground with made a loud noise. ''What''s with its insane speed,'' Vilis, who just dodged the heavy sword, was shocked at the undead''s speed and thought in his head. "Boom" Before he couldnd on the ground, the heavy sword came at him once again that he was once again barely able to dodge it. ''I will take this chance and finsh him, Haha'' when he saw the giant undead''s heavy sword attacks, Volcanis thought in his head and waited for a chance to kill Vilis. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' The process of giant undead swinging its heavy sword and Vilis dodging continued for sometime before something unexpected happened to Vilis. ''Puchi,??? However, when he was concentrating on the giant undead who was swinging its giant sword at it, a fire sword pierced through Vilis body. "How is that possible?" When he turned back to look at the one who pierced him, Vilis was shocked to see the smiling face of Volcanis. "Now see my true fire power," as Volcanis said that Vilis body was burned by purple mes all of a sudden, and soon Vilis turned to ashes. "See, I can also kill him?" After killing him, Volcanis turned to Necros, who was watching the ashes on the ground and started to brag. "Volcanis, move away from there," However, Volcanis only heard Necros'' loud shout of warning. ... Chapter 259: Necros Meditates once again

259 Necros Meditates once again

Volcanis didn''t understand why Necros asked him to move away from his current position, but still, he followed his advice and tried to run away from that ce. Just as he took a few steps, Volcanic felt a huge force behind him that reached him within seconds and sted him off. ''Aaargh'' Volcanis shouted as he sted away and started rolling towards Necros. Necros immediately rushed towards the rolling Volcanis and sessfully stopped him. "Are you okay?" After stopping Volcanis, Necros heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Volcanis was not injured heavily. Nevertheless, he still asked Volcanis. "Not dead. Are you unhappy," Volcanis said in a low voice with a scoff. However, he felt warm inside that he got such a caring teammate. "Yeah, somewhat unhappy," Necros said with a nod agreeing to Volcanis'' word. "Damn you, Necros¡­. Aargh" Hearing Necros'' reply made Volcanis angry and made him shout, but before he couldplete his sentence, the pain from his injuries made him cry in pain. "You rest, I will take care of him," Necros shook his head at Volcanis and stood up to look at a silhouette in the ck smoke. "What? Is he still alive?" Volcanis thought that he killed Vilis with his firepower, which changed a little when he received the boost from the Abyssal beast god''s bloodline. However, when he heard Necros'' words, he forcefully tried to sit and watched at the spot where he killed Vilis earlier. Above that spot, Volcanis saw a ck silhouette that was integrated into the ck smoke. "Hahaha, you think you could kill me just like that?" Vilisughed as he mocked Volcanis and Necros. "Kill him," Necros didn''t waste any time he ordered his giant undead summon to kill it. ''Swoosh'' The giant undead swung its heavy sword at the silhouette in the ck smoke. However, the gigantic sword passed through the ck smoke as though there was nothing in it. "See that; you can''t kill me," After the giant sword passed through the ck smoke, Vilis'' silhouette once again appeared in the ck smoke and made fun of Necros. "I admit that you two are more powerful than any other elemental spirits I have even seen with the same cultivation as yours. However, you are going to die now, Hehe" Vilisughed eerily and continued, "But don''t worry, you will be part of me since I am going to consume you, Hahaha." As he said that, the ck smoke covering the entire battlefield came closed towards Necros and Volcanis. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, from the ck smoke, a silhouette appeared behind Necros and kicked him before disappearing in the ck smoke. ''Damn,'' Necros sessfully became angry when Vilis kicked him, but he was unable to catch him, and even his giant undead was failed to do anything. ''Swoosh'' ''Calm down, calm down,'' Necros tried to calm down and thought, I should kill this mouse that was ying with me before it disappears into its hole.'' Necros was fully irritated with Vilis that was ying with him andpared it with a mouse and tried to think of a n to kill him. "You can''t do anything to me as long as I have this ck smoke, haha," Vilis voice once again sounded from the ck smoke. ''If this continues, Volcanis and I would die for sure,'' Necros became worried when he looked at Volcanis, who was unable to breathe because of the ck smoke around them. ''Wait a second. How did I forget this,'' Suddenly Necros thought of something and immediately looked at his undead summon. ''Go and take rest,'' Necros smiled at his giant undead summon and ordered it to take rest. As soon as he said that the undead summon disappeared into thin air. After summoning it back, Necros looked at the silhouette in the ck smoke and smiled before sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. ''What is he nning to now? nning to breakthrough once again?'' Vilis thought in his head and immediately shook his head and continued thinking, "If he wants to defeat me, he needs to have at least level 5 of the elite spiritmander realm cultivation." At the beginning of their fight, he saw that Necros did the same thing and breakthrough to the level 1 of the elite spiritmander realm from peak level 10 spiritmander realm, so he thought Necros was trying to the same thing once again. However, Vilis didn''t think much about it as he had confidence that he would kill him before he could even breakthrough a single minor realm. Vilis didn''t give much time for Necroso toplete what he was nning to do, so he immediately rushed towards the meditating Necros in order to punch him to death. "You belong to a summoning category, and you made a huge mistake by summoning back that giant undead," While he moved in the ck smoke Vilis pointed Necros'' mistake. However, Necros didn''t bother with his words and remained focused on his meditation. ''Swoosh'' ''Punch'' Soon, Vilis appeared behind Necros and punched; however, Necros didn''t even move and showed no reaction to that punch. When he saw that his punch did not affect Necros, Vilis puzzled and once again punched him. Just like before there was no response from Necros. ''What kind of skill is this? Isn''t he a summoning category Exclusive spirit?'' Vilis wondered and soon shook his and looked at the Volcanis who was breathing heavily for fire essence of nature. Since the entire battlefield was covered by the ck smoke blocking the other elemental essences from the outside, Volcanis had difficulty in breathing from the beginning. However, he used the essence of nature from his spirit consciousness and fought the elemental spirits. Now, he was unable to do the same thing as his spirit consciousness was almost empty, and he was like on hisst leg. "I will see how long will you maintain that turtle skill of your, before that I will your friend, Hehe," Vilis said to Necros with an eerieugh before moved towards Volcanis slowly. While he was moving towards Volcanis, he stops for a while to look at Necros, hoping that he would open his eyes, but Necros remain unmoved from his meditation stance. "Someone said something about friendship awhile ago, I think we, the dark elemental spirits are all same, hehe" Vilis waved his hands and the ck smoke hovering above him started rushing towards Volcanis. Chapter 260: Farming the cultivation

260 Farming the cultivation

After waving his hand, Vilis once again looked at Necros; however, this time Necros opened his eyes, and a ck light came from Necros'' eyes and entered into Vilis eyes, making him blind. As soon as he lost his sight, Vilis immediately entered the ck smoke and shouted, "What did you do to me, why am I unable to see anything." "Hahaha," Necros didn''t reply to him; instead, heughed. "Even my spirit sense is not working," Vilis angry voice continuously resounded from the ck smoke and suppressing his anger he said, "I know this skill won''tst much longer, but what about your friend? He will die for sure, Haha." Vilis started hisugh once again. "Yes, that skill won''tst much longer. However, before you can regain your senseses back, you will be killed by me, Haha," Necros gave a reply that made Vilis anxious. However, he soon replied to Necros, " Really? Then kill me." As soon as he finished his words, Vilis body turned into smoke and integrated with ck smoke that was surrounding them. "No one can kill me in my smoke form, hahaha," After he integrated with the ck smoke, Vilis proudly announced that no one could kill him anymore and startedughing. ''I am waiting for this, hehe'' Necrose cunninglyughed inside his heart and opened his huge mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, all the ck smoke on the battlefield entered into his mouth. Within only a few moments, a small portion of ck smoke that was near to Volcanis entered into Necros''s huge month. After absorbing all the ck smoke around Volcanis, Necros closed his mouth and stopped absorbing the smoke and looked at Volcanis, whose breathing was stabilized a little. ''Huh?'' as he was checking on Volcanis, Necros noticed that the ck smoke he absorbed was converted into a rich dark elemental essence as soon as it entered into his body. ''It looks like a richer than the essence in the elemental paradise,'' Necros was shocked as he was surrounded by a rich essence of nature the entire time. Initially, he just wanted to use his ''confused ray'' which was now upgraded to ''Blind'' to make Vilis unable to see for a specific time and then use his undead summon to kill him. However, seeing that Volcanis was nearly on hisst leg, Necros absorbed the ck smoke around him to make his breath properly. To his surprise, he discovered a treasure trove in front of him. ''I think, it has something to do with Vilis smoke form,'' However, Necros quickly shook his head and thought that after Vilis integrated with the ck smoke, it might have got this attribute. ''Nevermind, I will absorb all of it,'' Even though his spirit consciousness waspletely filled after devouring a small portion of the ck smoke, Necros wanted to absorb more with his devour. Within a few seconds, his spirit consciousness became empty, increasing his cultivation by a small amount. ''This level 2 devour is insanely powerful,'' Necros praised his devour skill which was upgraded to level 2 after his breakthrough to the elite spiritmander realm. Without wasting any time, he immediately opened his mouth once again and sucked another portion of ck smoke filling his spirit consciousness, which waster consumed by devour skill to increase his cultivation. He repeated the process one more time, and as soon as he absorbed the essence of nature in the ck smoke for the third time, he broke through a minor realm and sessfully entered the level 2 of the elite spiritmander realm. ''Hehe, I should quickly consume as much ck smoke as possible before Vilis regains his senses,'' After his breakthrough to level 2, his desire to absorb the ck smoke increased and he nned to absorb as much as possible before the blinding effect on Vilis disappear. ''Swoosh'' Necros opened his mouth once again and repeated the process. As Necros was busy in sucking and converting the ck smoke into his cultivation, Vilis felt something was amiss, but he was unable to find out what it was. ''What can he possibly do at a time like this? Must be looking at his friend and trying to save him from my ck smoke,'' Soon his worry disappeared as he thought about Volcanis condition. Soon, a few minutes were passed by, and the ''Blind'' skill effect on Vilis disappeared, and he excited came out of his ck smoke, but he was so shocked to see the scene of Necros absorbing his valuable ck smoke as though it was a delicious dish. ''When did he reach level 3 of the elite spiritmander realm?'' When Vilis observed Necros'' cultivation, he felt another shock in his heart. "Huh? So you came out quicker than I thought," Necros looked at the bbergasted Vilis and said, "Blind." As soon as Vilis heard that, he didn''t hesitate to turn into his smoke form and integrated with the ck smoke. ''He is such a coward, just hearing the name of my skill, he ran like a dog with its tail between its legs,'' Necros was happy that Vilis was such a coward. Necros could only increase his cultivation of Vilis was inside the ck smoke, so he immediately started absorbing the ck smoke after Vilis integrate with the ck smoke. As for a reason, Vilis was very fearful of that skill was because he literally lost all his senses for some time and didn''t want to go through the same feeling of losing all the senses. However, he didn''t expect that he would be fooled by Necros and immediately came off the ck smoke canceling his smoke form. "What the heck! How can you increase your cultivation to level 4 in a couple of minutes?" Vilis was once again shocked by Necros'' cultivation which was increased by another minor realm. "Huh? It all your kindness, Haha," Necrosughed as he said those words. "Me?" Vilis was puzzled at Necros'' words and soon he found out the meaning behind Necros'' words and shouted, "Damn you, what have to done to my cultivation?" Because his earlier cultivation of level 10 elitemander realm was not level 8 and the ck smoke covering the battlefield also thinned by a lot. "How can you do all these things?" Vilis asked with a shock on his face. This was the first time, his opponent thinned out Vilis'' ck smoke and what was more important is that he absorbed even his own cultivation. "Look, the ck smoke is thinning out." As he was thinking that, the group members outside the battlefield was able to see some of the silhouettes of the elemental spirits. Everyone looked at the battlefield curiously and were shocked to see that only two elemental spirits were standing on the battlefield, and one elemental spirit was on the ground. ''I think I can''t win against this monster, I better admit defeat before he kills me,'' The way Vilis looked at Necros changedpletely, and he wanted nothing more than to admit defeat. Since the ck smoke also cleared now, if he admits defeat now, Necors can''t kill him anymore, so he looked at Barret before slowly raising his hand to admit defeat. Chapter 261: Kneel

261 Kneel

Outside the battlefield, "Hey Ajax, your elemental spirits seems a lot stronger than their cultivation," "Yes, Ajax, how do you train them?" All the group members except for Levi and Barret asked him about his elemental spirit. "They train very hard and improved their battle powers on their own," In return to Ajax, he smilingly replied. Although he thought that the system was one of the reasons for their battle prowess, he didn''t lie about their training. Especially, Volcanis, among all of his elemental spirits, he trained diligently every day and continuously improved his firepower to once again challenge the battle hall in a month. ''Also, adding the boost from my bloodline, it is not a wonder for them to have high battle prowess,'' Ajax thought as felt good in to have powerful elemental spirits. ''What? Why is he in such a pitiful state?'' As Ajax was feeling good, Barret felt like he lost his soul when he saw the weakened form of his elemental spirit. ''It''s all because of him?'' Soon, his eyesnded on Ajax who was smiling and talking with others and hatred filled within it. ''I will definitely kill you for sure,'' Barret swore in his heart and thought that he would kill him. At the same time on the battlefield, "I ad¡­," ''Puchi'' Just as he was about to admit defeat, three heavy swords pierced through his body from behind which didn''t even give time anytime for him to voice out his final words. ''Thud'' As soon as the three heavy swords were taken out of Vilis'' body, it fell onto the ground with a ''thud''. "Good timing," Necros looked at his three undead summons and praised them before walking towards Volcanis. However, just as he took a few steps, Vilis body slowly disintegrated into the ck smoke. ''Summoning master, please summon back Volcanis, he needs some rest and as for me, this ck smoke is very rich in the essence of nature, so I will absorb it,'' He stopped moving and contacted Ajax through the spirit contract. "Just do what you see fit," Ajax was shocked that Necros broke through multiple minor realms and simply ordered him to do what he wants to do. He also noticed that after Vilis body disintegrated into the ck smoke, he felt a rich dark elemental essence from it. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother about it much as he quickly summoned back Volcanis into his inner world and checked on his injuries. ''Uff¡­ it, use these healing pills, and take care of Volcanis until he wakes up,'' Only after knowing that Volcanis was alright, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and asked it to take care of Volcanis. "Sure, big brother," it nodded his head and epted without any hesitation. Volcanis taught it some fighting techniques, so it naturally wanted to take care of his unofficial master and didn''t show any hesitation. Necros, who was on the battlefield, was busy absorbing the ck smoke and used hs level 2 devour to increase his cultivation with a rxed expression on his face. "Barret, if you give the elemental spirit stone and kneel in front of Ajax, we can finish our exchange meeting for this time," Seeing that Ajax''s elemental spirits killed both Barret''s elemental spirits before they could admit defeat, Levi looked at Barret and asked. Since there was nothing against the rules, no one from the groupined and curiously looked at Barret to see what he would do now. "Hahaha, Good good," To everyone''s surprise, Barret startedughing like a maniac and said good two times before looking at Levi, "Very well yed Levi." After saying that he looked at everyone and finally stopped his gaze on Ajax, "Here is your reward," While saying that, Barret took out a ck crystal and threw at Ajax and turned around to leave. Ajax caught the ck crystal, and without checking it, he simply stored it in his inventory. He used the elemental spirit stones many times before, so he was able to recognize it with a nce. "Cough, I think, you forget another thing to do before leaving," Just as Barret took a few steps, Levi coughed a little and asked Barret. ''Damn you, Levi, I will get my revenge on you too,'' Barret stopped in his tracks and thought to take revenge on Levi before turning back at Ajax and said, "Do you dare to ask me to kneel in front of you?" While he was asking, he exuded his full pressure on Ajax. However, to his surprise, he saw there was no frown or anything that seem ufortable on Ajax''s face. "You have and already lost and still not want to keep your promise," Ajax mocked Barret by squinting his eye. "Youuu," Barret felt like killing Ajax right now instead of waiting for some other time. But, he couldn''t kill him here because of Levi and the rules of the ck market. "What you? Hurry up and kneel. I have urgent work to do," Although there was no important work for Ajax now, he acted impatiently and urged Barret to kneel. In the beginning, Ajax didn''t want Barret to kneel really, but when Barret said in the voice transmission that he would kill his elemental spirits first and him next, he swore to humiliate Barret even more. ''ording to his personality, he will try to kill me anyway, so why not let him kneel before hees after me for his revenge,'' Ajax already learned from Levi that Barret would not let go anyone that dares to fight him and win against him. "Barret, don''t forget rules," Levis scoffed at Barret and mentioned about rules. "Barret, finish that thing. We have other works to do," Mason also said to?Barret to finish his kneeling. "Fine," Barret finally gave in and came in front of Ajax. ''Thud'' Soon, he kneeled in front of Ajax said, "I am sorry," "Okay,"?Ajax nodded his head as he smiled. As soon as he heard Ajax''s reply, Barret stood up and immediately turned back to leave. ''Dman it Damn it. Not only I lost two elemental spirits and an elemental spirit stone but I kneeled in front of a lowly peasant who knows which hole he came from,'' Barret''s hate towards Ajax increased every time he remembered about his kneeling. However, he suppressed it and left from the tree''s inner space. "Ajax, Now let''s see the real ck market," After Barret left, Levi said to Ajax in a low voice. Chapter 264: Undead Fusion

264 Undead Fusion

"This skill is insane," Ajax was unable to control his excitement and checked it once again to see whether it was real, or he was imagining it. ''Ding, Skill name:- Undead Fusion, Skill description:-?A skill that canbine the summons form ''Undead summons'' skill into a single giant undead and the strength it possesses is equivalent to the number of summons that werebined. Additional effect:- After cancelling this skill, the elemental spirit will be immune to all the physical attacks for five minutes. "It''s really real," Ajax was finally shouted out loud but seeing that Levi was still stabilizing his cultivation, Ajax suppressed his excitement. "The skill is already way too over-powered and with this additional effect it became insanely powerful," Ajax slowly talked to himself. "Yes, summoning master," Necros, who heard Ajax''s muttering felt good when he heard Ajax praising his new skill. "So you already consumed the two elemental spirit stones from their bodies?" Ajax nodded his head and asked. "There was no elemental spirit stones in them. I think the two elemental spirits are integrated into the ck smoke along with Vilis, making the ck smoke a rich dark elemental paradise," Necros quickly said to Ajax about the elemental spirit stones and exined his theory about ck smoke. "Sigh..." Ajax thought that if he got those two elemental spirit stones, he could have increased the strengths of his two official elemental spirits. After the elemental spirit battle, Ajax thought of summoning them into the battlefield to absorb the ck smoke, but he didn''t want to reveal his trumps cards before everyone and suppressed his urge to summon Nite and Dabrus. "I should learn to be content with what I got," Ajax soon found he was bing more and more greedy recently. "Okay Necros, enter the inner world and take rest and most importantly don''t enter the dark elemental paradise," Ajax said to Necros to enter the inner world, and at the same time, he warned him not to enter the elemental paradise. The reason Ajax said not to enter the elemental paradise was since Necros'' cultivation was very high and if he cultivates in there, all the remaining beings would not get much of the essence of nature for cultivation. "Okay, summoning master" Necros nodded his head understood Ajax''s concern. After he summoned Necros back into his inner world, he checked on Volcanis whose injuries were almost healed with the high-grade healing pills he bought earlier. "Huff," Just as he was checking his elemental spirits and spirit beasts, he heard Levi''s voice and immediately returned his spirit consciousness out of the inner world. "Hey senior brother, did you finally stabilized your cultivation?" Ajax asked as he walked towards Levi. "It''s nothing," Ajax shook his head in modesty. "Since your elemental spiritpleted its meal let''s go and take a tour around the real ck market," Levi didn''t ask Ajax to stay in the dimensional crevice anymore and instead suggested to take a tour to the real ck market. "Sure, senior brother," Ajax agreed with Levi''s suggestion and became excited about the tour. Soon, they both came out of the ''essence absorbing tree'' and walked towards the ck market. "Senior brother, can I ask you something?" As they walked, Ajax asked Levi. "Sure," Levi liked Ajax''s personality more and more and treated him like his real blood brother. So he gave a green signal to Ajax for asking questions. "Why did you work in the store?" Ajax slowly asked after hearing Levi''s agreement. When he heard Ajax''s question, Levi stopped in his tracks for a moment and embarrassingly rubbed the back of his head and said, "Recently I am short on money and the items I brought from the home are already over." "What?" Ajax nearly fell down after hearing Levi''s words, but he understood Levi''s situation and asked, "So you are working in that store?" Since he was away from his family and didn''t have anyone to rely on, Ajax felt nothing wrong in working in the store. "No," However, Levi''s reply shocked him once again. "So, what are you doing there earlier?" Ajax didn''t understand why Levi acted as a servant in the store when he went earlier. "Because I broke an item in the store by ident and the owner made me work there until I make him some amount of profit," Levi''s exined the reason behind him acting as a store servant. "Hahaha," As soon as he heard, Ajax startedughing and said, That store owner might be a kind person to give you such a small punishment for breaking an item?" "Yeah, but he was such a money-grubber made lie all the prices of the items," Levi agreed with Ajax, but at the same time, he showed dissatisfaction at the store owner and said, "The items you bought were originally cost around 100k spirit stones but ording to his prices, I said 200k spirit stones and you didn''t negotiate with me." "What? I paid 200k for 100k worth items?" Ajax was shocked. Since it was Ajax''s first time seeing that many rare items that were not avable in the Zrochester province, he was unable to know the exact prices and casually paid the amount Levi said at the time. And he also had many spirit stones in his space rings, so he never cared about the price. "But, you unknowingly helped mee out of that store quickly," Levi embarrassedly smiled and apologized, "Sorry for making you pay more." "Since it helped senior brother then it''s totally worth it," Ajax smiled as he shook his head. "Thanks, Ajax," Levi thanked Ajax once again before walking towards the ck market. ???No problem," Ajax also excitedly followed Levi into the ck market. "Hello, young masters want to buy some spirit beast egg? It is easy to form a contract with them and they will help you fight enemies and apany you on your adventures," The first shop after they entered the ck market was the spirit beast egg shop. The shop servant actively came in front of Ajax and Levi and urged them to buy a spirit beast egg. "I already have a lot of spirit beasts, so I am not interested in these eggs," Ajax shook his head and rejected without much thinking as he doesn''t have any time for them. "But can you reject that after seeing my store''s special egg collection?" As soon as Ajax rejected the store''s servant words, he heard another voice from the spirit beast egg store. "What? A special egg collection?" Ajax looked at the short and fat man with a cunning businessman look on his face and asked surprisingly. "Yes, you can even touch them and pay after you take a liking to them," the short cunning businessman felt satisfied with Ajax''s surprise and even offered special benefits. "What do you think, senior brother?" Although Ajax felt quite an interest in the special egg collection, he asked Levi for his agreement. "Sure, since you are the buyer, you can do whatever want, hehe" Levi smiled as he said to Ajax. Ajax nodded his head and entered the store. As soon as he entered the store, Ajax was shocked by the scenery inside the store. Chapter 265: Ajaxs acting Skills

265 Ajax''s acting Skills

"Wow," Ajax was surprised as he looked at the spirit beast eggs that were ced separately in different ces which matched with the colour of the eggshells. For example, three was a red coloured egg that was ced in an environment that was surrounded by red mes. Simrly, each egg was ced in a suitable area for it. Ajax was shocked because he didn''t expect that inside of such small store there would be this many different environments for various eggs. "You can check them and if you like it, you can pay for that them. However, there is a rule from the dimension crevice owner that only one egg for one person," The short and fat businessman said informed Ajax and Levi about a rule. "Why is it?" Ajax didn''t understand the logic behind the rule. If more eggs were bought, then he would get more money, but limiting it to one egg per person would take a long time to sell all the spirit beast eggs. "All the eggs were given by him and I have to follow his requests. I don''t know more than that," The store owned said, shaking his head. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ask any question and started checking the eggs from the different environments. ''Ding, Item name:- Earth dragon egg ''Ding, Item name:- Fire dragon eggs ''Ding, Item name:-?Seven winged serpent egg . . . . "Woah," Ajax casually touched each egg, and the system informed him about their details, making him surprised. In general, it was rare to find a dragon egg, but here there are various types of dragon eggs and also some rare spirit beast eggs that were not able that easily. "Young master, each of the spirit beasts that hatches from these eggs have a chance to enter the King realm if they were taken care properly," The short store owner felt satisfied with the surprised look on Ajax''s face and exined about the spirit beast thates from each egg, assuming that Ajax doesn''t know. However, what he doesn''t know was Ajax knew everything about each egg from the system. "Which one do you like, young master," The store owner asked as he rubbed his hands in excitement. "What is the cost of each egg?" Ajax asked about the price without selecting a particr egg. "Every egg in this special collection costs around 1 million each," The store owner quoted the price which made Ajax''s hearte out of his mouth. "What? It''s too much for a spirit egg," Ajax immediately shouted out loud and retorted against the price quoted by the store owner. "I know the price is high but there is a future rank 7 spirit beast in that, so what do you think?" The store owner didn''t get angry at Ajax''s loud shout and even agreed with Ajax and exined the reason behind the high price. Even though the price was high, Ajax wanted to buy at least a spirit beast which was very hard to find in the outside world. So he kept on negotiating the price and finally managed to decrease it by 200k. "Can I exchange the spirit beast egg with an equivalent value of 800k?" However, the problem now was he didn''t have that many spirit stones, so he asked the store owner about exchanging an item in the ce of spirit stones. "Item exchange? Sure," The store owner raised this brows for a second before agreeing for the item exchange. "But, if only I take an interest in the item of yours, I will take it; otherwise, you should think of something else," As Ajax was feeling satisfied with the store owner, his next words caused Ajax to curse him under his breath. "Sure," Ajax nodded his head and thought for a moment before taking out a litre of mini thunder pool''s water in a gourd and gave it to the store owner and said, "Check this." "Huh?" seeing the gourd the store owner puzzled and thought, "Is it really worth 800k?" Nevertheless, he took the gourd and opened it to checked its insides. "Good," As soon as he checked the water inside it, he felt surprised and nodded his head. "So, is it worth a spirit beast egg?" Ajax asked him with an expectant look on its face. "No, it is good but it can''t cover the entire 800k spirit stones. If you can give another liter of this water, then I can give you a spirit beast egg of your choosing," the store owner shook his head and asked Ajax to give one more liter for the exchange of a spirit beast egg. "What? It''s not enough? But I don''t have much water with me and I already gave you everything I have on me," when he heard the store owner''s words, he was shocked andter acted as though he didn''t have that water. "Really? You don''t have.." "Yes," Before the store owner could say anything, Ajax interjected him and nodded his head. The reason he denied the fact that he had more of that water because he felt that the store owner was intentionally increasing the price for the spirit beast egg. Although, one could notpare a rare spirit beast egg with the thunder pool''s water which was also rare. Both have their own price, and the store owner was already satisfied with one liter of that in exchange for a spirit beast egg. However, he wanted to know whether Ajax had more water with him or not? ''Looks like he is saying the truth,'' the store owner thought to himself seeing the pitiful look on Ajax''s face. "Okay then, since you are my first customer, I will allow you to choose a spirit beast egg from my store''s special collection," The store owner allowed Ajax to pick one spirit beast egg and continued, "However, in the future, if you find more of this water, you have to exchange it with me." "Sure," Ajax was over the moon when he heard the store owner''s words and agreed without hesitation and soon started his selection of the spirit beast egg. ''He truly became skilled in acting,'' At the side, Levi was utterly speechless with the pitiful act of Ajax and shook his head. ''Which spirit beast egg should I pick?'' As for Ajax, he was pondering which spirit beast egg to pick, seeing the ten eggs in front of him. Chapter 272: Unexpected Enemy

272 Unexpected Enemy

"What? Did you found it already? Where is it?" Edmond became excited and asked Darbaudr hurriedly, making him think something was wrong with Edmond. "Huh?" Soon, Edmond found that he reacted a little too much and calmed himself. "Yes, It is at the boulder where I sat earlier," Darbaudr pointed his finger at Ajax and others and said to Edmond. "What? I already checked that ce but I didn''t sense anything there," Edmond looked at the small boulder behind Ajax and others before shaking his head at Darbaudr as though he was disagreeing with him. "The entrance to the demon world is not as simple as you thought. I was only able to recognize it because I was able to meditate there for some time and the most important thing is I can sense the spatial disturbances in the surroundings, so I was able to sense the entrance to the demon world too," Darbaudr exined his reason to Edmond. "So, you have an affinity to the space element. No wonder, you are stronger than your actual cultivation," Edmond nodded his head and walked towards Ajax and others with Darbaudr. In general, a cultivator with space elemental affinity was known to have higher battle prowess than their peers, so Edmond finally understood the reason why he felt Darbaudr was stronger than his actual cultivation. "Hey kids, have you introduced to one another?" As they reached Ajax and others, Edmond asked as he looked at the youngsters'' happy faces. "Yes, Captain," "Yes, godfather," Ajax and others nodded their heads and replied to Edmond. "Darbaud, where is it?" Edmond nodded his head at them before turning to Darbaudr and asked. "It''s under the Boulder," Darbuadr pointed at the bottom of the boulder and moved towards it in order to remove it. ''Swoosh,'' Just when he was about to move the boulder, a portal appeared beside the Boulder making Edmond and others surprised. "Wait, it is not the entrance to the demon world, it is something else," Seeing that Edmond was moving towards the recently opened portal, Darbaudr warned Edmond. "Huh? Then what is it?" Edmond stopped moving as soon as he heard Darbaudr''s words and asked him. "I don''t know what it is, but I think I saw it before," Darbaudr shook his head at the portal''s sudden appearance. "I think, it''s the entrance to the Dimensional crevice," Ajax slowly said, looking at the familiar portal. Since he recently travelled to the dimensional crevice, Ajax was quickly able to recognize it. At the same time, he felt a bad premonition in his heart when he looked at the portal. ''Why am I feeling like this,'' Ajax thought in his heart; however, within a few seconds, all his doubts were cleared when he saw the familiar personing out of the portal. "Ajax, do you know him?" Edmond asked Ajax as he sensed the Ajax was able to recognize the old man who came out of the dimensional portal. "He is the one that attacked me and senior brother Levi," Ajax hurriedly said to Edmond. The old man didn''t speak a single word after he came out of the portal. He just looked at Ajax coldly. If looks could kill, then Ajax would have died by now already. Just from the looks, everyone could understand that the old man was definitely up to no good. "Goliath, immediately bring everyone with you and escape from here," Edmond ordered his eldest godson to take away others form here. Edmond was unable to guess the old man''s strength urately, but he thought that the old man should be around level 7 or level 8 of the elite general realm, which he could manage, but the problem was he would be unable to protect the youngsters and fight the old man at the same time. So, he ordered to leave this ce immediately. "Yes, father," Goliath immediately replied before looking at Ajax and others as though he was saying ''you heard him, right?'' Goliath knew that they would be in Edmond''s way while fighting with the old man, so hurriedly wanted to move away with the others. ''p'' But before they could even start their escape, the old man pped his hands once before Ajax and others felt the space around him shaking before bing normal. "What is it?" "What''s just happened?" Everyone looked at their surroundings as they asked hurriedly, not knowing what that old man just did by pping his hand. "He just sealed at our surrounding and no one can move out of this region without his permission," Among all the people, Darbuadr and Edmond were the only ones that were calm as the barbarian exined what that old man did earlier. "Sealed the space?" All became shocked and looked at the old man seriously. "All those who are rted to that brat will be killed," The old man spoke for the first time aftering out of the portal. "Everyone, move aside and watch carefully," Edmond didn''t show any fear in front of the old man even the old man''s cultivation was stronger than him and asked the youngsters to move aside. All moved to a side, making space for Edmond and the old man to fight. "Darbaudr, do you want to fight?" Edmond asked Darbaudr with a smile as he knew that Darbuadr had his own trick under his sleeve. But before Darbaudr could answer, Edmond continued, "Just protect them, I will take care of him." "Sure," Darbaudr nodded his head and thought, ''If you can''t defeat him, then I have to ¡­.'' He didn''t continue his sentence looking at Edmond, who was getting ready to fight to the old man. "Don''t worry, I won''t kill them before you. Since you are the strongest one among them, I will kill you first and show them what true hopelessness is," The old man smiled and said to Edmond before looking at Ajax. "But, you have to kill me, before that," Edmond replied with a smile, which made the old man truly irritated. As Edmond and the old man were getting ready to fight, Ajax hurried thought of a n and immediately came out of the group and took out an upgrade stone from his inventory along with the ''Seal breakingpass''. ''I know Captain Edmond is strong but the old man must have lot of tricks under his sleeves, I should break another seal from the Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness,'' Ajax took out both the upgrade stone and the artifact with that thought in his head. ''System, use the mid-grade upgrade stone and upgrade the seal breakingpass,'' Ajax ordered the system in his head. ''Ding, Detected a mid-grade upgrade stone and an artifact in the host''s hands. ''Ding, Please confirm the upgrade of the seal breakingpass. Soon, two system notification rang in his head. ''Upgrade it,'' Ajax hurriedly said and waited for the upgrade. ''Ding, Upgrading the artifact; please wait. Although Ajax knew it would be upgraded in a few seconds, he was unable to wait as he had another important task after upgrading the seal breakingpass, which was to break the seal in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness. So, he felt the time was moving very slow. ''Ding, The upgrade failed, and the upgrade stone is destroyed. Chapter 274: Weird Creatures

274 Weird Creatures

As soon as he picked the two stones, Ajax checked the familiar stone first. ''Ding, Item name:- Mid-grade Upgrade stone Seeing it, Ajax nodded and looked at another stone in his other hand. ''Should I check it?'' Ajax fell in a dilemma whether to check the other stone or not. ''I have a feeling that this might have some use for me now,'' However, Ajax felt that he should check it as he thought it might be helpful and finally concluded to check it. ''Ding, Item name:- Mid-grade Sess stone Description:- When it is used with an upgrade stone, the sess rate of upgrading a particr artifact will increase. Note:- A mid-grade sess stone will give an 80-90 percent sess rate when used with a mid-grade upgrade stone. ''Woah, if I use this then I don''t have to fear about failing the up-gradation process,'' Ajax was excited to see the details of the stone in his hand. ''I will apologize andpensate to Senior brother after he wakes up. I hope he won''t be much angry with me,'' Ajax secretly thought as he decided to use both mid-grade stones for a higher sess rate in upgrading the seal breakerpass. With that thought, his consciousness came out of the space ring bringing two stones out. ''System, use both the stones to upgrade the seal breakingpass,'' Without any dy, Ajax quickly used the upgrade stone and the sess stone. ''Ding, The mid-grade Upgrade stone and the sess stone are detected. ''Ding, Now, the upgrading process has an 85 percent sess rate. ''Ding, Warning:- Do you want to upgrade the seal breakingpass? ''Yes,'' Ajax hurriedly replied and epted ''Yes''. ''Ding, Upgrading¡­.Please wait. ''Oh almighty system, please help me,'' As the system notification came, Ajax prayed the system in his heart for a sessful upgrade. While praying, he observed the two stones in his hand melting before entering into the seal breakingpass. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, the upgrade of the artifact is sessful. Soon, the system notification came making Ajax happy, and he immediately focused on the seal breakingpass in his hands. After the upgrade, the artifact didn''t change much, and it looked the same, just like before it was upgraded. ''Ding, Artifact name:- Seal breakingpass Grade:- Low-level heaven grade. Uses- 1) Can track anyone by the spirit imprint ced by the owner of this artifact on others. (Distance is directly proportional to the owner''s strength). 2) Can break any seal below the Elite general realm strength using the essence of nature of the owner. (Note:- Single-use to break any seal will cost 5000 units of the essence of nature). However, soon his expression changed when he saw at the end of the information. ''Damn it. I totally forgot about this,'' Ajax cursed as he looked at the 5000 units of the essence of nature that is required to use the artifact. ''Why is this happening to me? WHY'' Ajax was shouting himself and looked at his spirit consciousness that only had a little over 500 units. Earlier, he used all his essence of nature in his spirit consciousness to upgrade Necros'' cultivation in the elemental spirit battle, and now he was only left with more than 500 units. "Young master, what happened," seeing the worrying expression on Ajax''s face all of a sudden, Darbaudr hurriedly asked Ajax in concern. "Nothing," Ajax shook his head and looked at the windstorm in which Edmond was fighting with the old man. ''I hope Edmond uses his Elemental spirits. I wonder how powerful, his elemental spirits were,'' From Zanath, Ajax learned that Edmond was a summoner, so he hoped that Edmond should have powerful elemental spirits to fight against the old man. Just as he watched at the windstorm, it suddenly disappeared with Edmond and the old man standing at the ce where it was previously there. Both Edmond and the old man looked at each other for a second before the old man said, "What a surprise to find a man of your battle prowess in such a small province," The old man said as he looked at Edmond in a surprise. ''Why are the people around this brat so talented?'' the old man was puzzled. He looked at the nine cultivators who looked young but were having good cultivation, and the barbarian was giving an ominous feeling though something was sleeping inside him. ''I think I shouldplete this quickly before the news of meing here is known by others,'' The old man suddenly thought as he looked at the dimensional portal which was barely opened. "I suggest you go back to where you havee from. It won''t be that easy to defeat me," Edmond said with a smile. However, inside his heart, he thought, ''Damn it, he is more powerful than a regr level 8 elite general cultivator.'' "Really, let me see how you are going to save them and fight me at the same time, hehe" the old man cunningly smiled and muttered something. As soon as he said that, many weird creatures appeared out of nowhere. All creatures looked like a fusion of more than two spirit beasts and looked like chimeras except for the fact that all creatures looked different with different spirit beasts. "Huh?" Edmond and Darbaudr were shocked as they recognized the chimera-like creatures. Ajax and other young cultivators looked at Darbaudr for an exnation from him about the creatures. "There is a group among demonic cultivators that mainly focuses on fusing different species and making a whole new species with some demonic technique," Darbaudr stopped for a second before continuing, "The cruellest thing about the technique is it kills the intelligence of the new species and make them follow the orders of the cultivator that created them." "What?" "Is there such a thing," All the young ones, including Ajax, were shocked by hearing Darbaudr''s words. "Actually that branch of the demonic cultivators were extinct and I only know these from an external source. So it is also the first time for me to see them," Darbaudr slowly said and looked at the hundreds of chimera-like creatures that wereing towards them. Ajax also looked at the creatures that had no light in their eyes and walking towards them mindlessly. ''Poor spirit beasts,'' Ajax felt pity for the spirit beasts that were not having rest for their bodies even after they have died. As Ajax was feeling pity for the spirit beasts, Edmond looked at the old man and said, "So, you are one of those demonic cultivators. I wonder, who you managed to enter a dimensional crevice?" "Hahaha, so people still remembered us, Hahaha" The old man looked at Edmond and continued, "I was hiding it from more than 40 years and I paid a heavy price to enter the dimensional crevice by covering my identity." As he said that the old man cursed inside his heart, ''If not for the fact that I have to kill you all soon, I would have not used it.'' Since he belongs to a demonic cultivator group, they were naturally hated by the human race, and he had to pay a considerable price to enter the dimensional crevice, which was owned by a human to cover his own identity. "I will show you the true power my demonic scientist''s group," the old man loudlyughed as he waved his hand. Chapter 276: Ajax becomes fierce

276 Ajax bes fierce

''Ding, Mission name:- Kill as many creatures as possible. (Bonus mission) Reward:- Depending on the number of kills, a random reward will be given. Descriptions:- Although they look life-less, the fused spirit beasts want nothing more than a rest from the fused spirit beast body that was under the control of the demonic cultivator. Danger rating:- None. As soon as he read the description, Ajax was shocked and felt pity for the spirit beasts and started to take the mission seriously even though there was no danger rating for it. ''Necrose out,'' without any hesitation, Ajax summoned Necros who had the highest strength among all his elemental spirits. As for the reason he summoned Necros was he decided to reveal about Necros to Edmond and others. ''Since he has high cultivation, I will be summoning him a lot from now on,'' Ajax thought as ordered Necros, "Kill as many as possible and help Darbaudr," "Yes, summoning master," Necros nodded his head and summoned his three undead elitemanders. The three undead summons didn''t waste any time and went into three directions and started helping the young cultivators. All the nine cultivators were shocked at the sudden appearance of the undead and looked at Necros before looking at Ajax. ''Didn''t Godfather said he was an unofficial summoner?'' The short Dark me asked Kind mantis beside him. "Who knows just focus on the battle now," Kind mantis said to Dark me with a hit on his back. All the nine cultivators asked the same question, but no one had the answer, so they shook their heads before focusing on the battle. As long as they had more members, it is easier to kill the creatures that were swarming at them. No one from the group was idle as they were trying their best to kill to as many creatures as possible. However, they felt the more they kill, the more creatures wereing at them. On one side, Justice was having a tough side on managing a singlemander realm creature as he was only a level 1 elite soldier and even though he killed a creature earlier, his cultivation was not increased at all. As for the reason why he was not getting any increase in the cultivation, the only system knows. it, who was taking care of Levi, was also not idle. He sent his clone to fight the creatures with weak strength as he used the Earth shield to protect Levi and himself from the iing creatures. Amongst all the members, Darbaudr was the fiercest since he was only using his bare hands to fight the fusioned spirit beasts. He was casually killing the creatures with weak strength and maintaining a stalemate with high-level general realm creatures. ''Absolute Darkness'' ''Dark w.'' ''Shadow clone.'' Ajax was entirely focused on killing more creatures and get the required essence of nature to use his artifact, so he didn''t hesitate to use his powerful skills. First, he would rush into a group of creatures and use his domineering skill ''Absolute Darkness'' which would make them scream in pain from the nightmares. Next, he used his contracted skills, ''Dark w'' and ''Shadow clone'' in a perfectbination, and killed more than a dozen creatures in a couple of minutes. ''Ding, The host killed amander realm fusion spirit beast. Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, . . . . . . The system notification continuously chimed in his making him even more excited as he was getting the essence of nature from each kill and along with it, he was able to make good progress in the bonus mission. ''It seems, the more I use the spear dao, the more I am understanding about it,'' Ajax felt that every time he killed a creature with his level 2 spear dao, his understanding about spears increased. So amidst his contracted skills, he used the spear with his left hand. With a demon w in one hand and a majestic looking spear in the other hand, and with a blood-covered face, Ajax''s looked like a god of war for some, and for others, he was like a devil. However, Ajax didn''t care about others'' thoughts as he was fully concentrated on killing the creatures. Within a few minutes, Ajax finally got a notification, he was waiting for, ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness ispletely filled with the essence of nature. As soon as he heard the system notification, Ajax didn''t waste any time and contacted Necros. ''Necros,bine your summons,'' Ajax ordered Necros through the spirit contract. ''Yes, summoning master,'' Necros immediately stopped assisting the young cultivators and ordered his undead summons, ''Combine now.'' Hearing their master''s order, all three undead summons turned back and met at the center and raised their swords and muttered something. Soon, all the three undead summons merged into one giant undead and started its ughtering of the creatures. ..... ''Ajax finally reveals his secret, hehe'' Edmond, who was fighting the giant creature, nced at Necros and his skills before smiling and stopped worrying about the youngsters. ''Darbaudr and that elemental spirit can take care of those high-level creatures and others will fight themander and elitemander realm creatures,'' Edmond thought about Ajax and others as he blocked another attack of the giant chimera-like creature. But Edmond underestimated the power of thetest attack of the transformed old man before he was sted away into the distance. "Stop looking around and pay attention to the fight," The old man''s voice came out of the dragon''s head before continuing, "Do you know I was not using my full strength in the earlier attacks?" "Cough" Coughing a mouthful of blood, Edmond said, "I noticed something. It''s not you are willingly holding back your strength, but I think it is rted to something else." "Interesting," the old man looked at Edmond in surprise and asked, "What is it, then?" "The more you attack the opponent the stronger your attacks will be, is it right?" Edmond looked at the old man and said seriously. "That''s correct but now, you can''t do nothing even if you know, Hahaha" the giant creature rushed at Edmond while summoning a gust of wind and bringing it with him towards Edmond. ''I will see, how you are going to fight with me in this windstorm,''?the old man''s voice sounded excited as he said. As soon as he said that, the windstorm absorbed Edmond once again and the giant creature also jumped into it. The windstorm that absorbed Edmond this time looked way bigger than the windstorm that he survived earlier. And the most important this was the wind looked fierce and just looking at it could make the low-level cultivators piss in their pants. Inside the windstorm, "If you survive this windstorm, I will leave Ajax alone," The giant creature smiled with its dragon head as it was making a deal with Edmond. "I have seen more powerful windstorms than this, juste at him," Edmond swiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and scoffed at the giant creature before holding his sword tightly. "You sure have a death wish," The giant creature became irritated at Edmond''s scoff and rushed at?Edmond. "sh" Chapter 277: Geniuses

277 Geniuses

''sh'' Soon the fight between them started as Edmond used his level 3 sword dao and his past battle experience to block the attacks of the giant creature. When Edmond was fighting the giant creature, he was fully concentrated in the fight unlike before, where he was keeping an eye on Ajax and others. But after seeing Ajax''s elemental spirit and Darbaudr''s real strength, Edmond felt rxed and stopped worrying about them. ''My godsons and goddaughters can manage elite realmmander creatures, so I can now fully concentrate on the fight,'' Edmond knew the real strength of the nine cultivators whom he personally trained for a few years, so he felt that killing those creatures would help them in sharpening their skills. ''But the problem is this giant creature is bing more and more powerful with time, I have to kill it soon without using myst card,'' Edmond was still hesitating to use some trump card against the old man. As for what thatst trump card was and why he was hesitating to use it, no one knows except for himself. Nevertheless, he decided to use his other trump cards to finish the fight as soon as possible before the giant creature bes overly powerful. As soon as he thought of his other trump card, some bright red fires started to appear on his body andpletely covered his body in them. After his body was covered entirely in the fire, Edmond didn''t waste any time for the giant creature toe towards him; instead, he rushed towards it using his level 3 sword dao. ... Outside the windstorm, ''This windstorm looks really fierce, I should speed up my n,'' When he saw the mighty windstorm in which Edmond was fighting the giant creature, Ajax became anxious and thought to hurry up his n. ''Necros, ordered you giant undead to take Darbaudr''s pce and you continue to help others,'' Ajax immediately ordered Necros, and he didn''t even wait for Necros reply before looking at the barbarian who was fighting the peak general realm creatures. ''Darbaudr, retreat. Let''s break your second seal,'' Ajax slowly said to Darbaudr through voice transmission. Darbaudr was puzzled when he heard Ajax''s starting words; however, when he listened to thest words, he became excited, and he used his full power to kill a peak level general realm creature before rushing towards Ajax. Ajax and Darbaudr immediately came entered into it''s Earth Shield and began their seal breaking process. ''System, break the second seal in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness,'' Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Ding, Consuming 5000 units of the essence of nature from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Seal breakingpass is activated, ''Ding, Breaking the seal from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness; please wait. ''Everything is going smoothly, Captain Edmond please give me some more time,'' As the process was continuing, Ajax nced around the battlefield and nodded his head. In the battlefield, all the nine young cultivators were fighting seriously. Among all of them, Goliath looked like another barbarian who was using his bare hands to kill the elitemander realm creatures with only peakmander realm strength. After him, the beautiful Snowstorm looked like a warrior queen that used her spear to pierce the creatures and killed them without showing any tiredness; instead, she was excited more and more with her killings. Beside her, both twin, Moon Shadow, and Bright Shadow were not any less than her. The brother and sister duo were taking care of each other backs and continuously killed the creatures with their short swords. Both their short swords had the same designs on them, but their colours were different. The short sword in the sister''s hand was pure white where the sword in the brother''s hand, it was dark ck. After observing the brother and sister duo, Ajax nce the King killer, who still had an arrogant look on his face, fought the creatures with a massive sword. Looking at his fighting stance, Ajax thought it resembled Edmond''s fighting style and shook his head before looking at the Dark me. Although he looked like a Dwarf, his attacks were fierce as he was using some technique that covered his entire body with fire. ''Looks like everyone has battle prowess greater than their cultivation,'' Ajax thought as he looked a young cultivator, who was using rank 4 heavenly raven to kill the creatures. ''Huh? Isn''t that raven was small earlier? Howe it became that big all of a sudden,'' Ajax puzzled and looked at the young man who was showing some making various gestures with his hands, and with every different gesture, the heavenly raven was using a different attack. ''So, he took the heavenly raven as his name after his spirit beast,??? Ajax nodded his head. When it was small, Ajax didn''t recognize the crow on Heavenly raven; however, once he saw the true form of that crow, he understood the reason behind his name. ording to the legends he heard from Eder Boron, Ajax knew that an adult heavenly raven could rival a king realm cultivator, so when he looked at the heavenly raven, he felt excited to meet a baby heavenly raven. Next, he nced at a figure, that was moving very fastly amidst the horde of creatures, and killing them with his extremely fast attacks. ''Damn, this Kind Mantis''s speed is very fast,'' After killing a dozen creatures, the figure finally stopped moving for a few moments. Only then Ajax was able to recognize the young man as Kind Mantis. Even though he was shocked by the eight members, he was utterly shocked by the ninth member of the group, not because of his fierceness or killings but he was transformed into a huge beast just like Eric. But the beast body of this one looked like a Gori and an angry one at that. It literally crushed all the creatures in themander realm with ease. ''Looks like I can ask my doubts about the beast body to this Fearless Gori,'' Ajax thought and felt happy as he finally found a cultivator who could transform into a beast. After killing Eric and taking his space ring, Ajax found the dead bodies of many spirt beasts, and thought that it might have something to do in increasing the purity of the beast god''s bloodline. So, when he looked at the Fearless Gori, he thought of asking questions to him. ''Everyone has their own techniques and skills, looks like Captain Edmond trained them very well but how can he teach them this many techniques,'' Ajax finally saw the real geniuses for the first time and thought. However, what puzzled him the most was how Edmond could teach them different techniques to them. Since it was difficult for a single man to learn different skills and techniques, there was nothing wrong with Ajax feeling puzzled over that fact. ''However, why did Edmond hide them and trained them until now, and why did he suddenly bring them out?'' Ajax felt more and more confused, thinking about the nine cultivators'' sudden appearances and the reason why he hid them from everyone. ''Maybe, is it rted to the Fire Sword sect?'' Ajax suddenly thought of the Fire sword sect, with whom Edmond had a feud with. As he was thinking about it, Ajax suddenly received a system notification that made him excited. Chapter 281: Relaxing

281 Rxing

Soon, the creatures around Ajax and other young cultivators werepletely annihted by them. "Uff..finally managed to kill all of them," King killer said as he sat on the blood-covered ground while breathing a sigh of relief. "Yes, it was tiresome to kill that many creatures," Dark me sat beside King killer as he breathed a relief sigh along with him. All the young cultivators did the same thing as those two, copsing in the same position they were fighting earlier and rxed their tired body. Ajax also wanted to do the same but he didn''t copse in the same position but managed to move his tired body to the Earth shield before copsing on the ground. ''Ufff'' As soon as he copsed Ajax didn''t think about anything and rxed his mind from all the killing he did. Necros followed Ajax and copsed beside him imitating Ajax. Nevertheless, he was really tired a lot for the first time in his life as he used his skills continuously without any break. "Boom" Ajax only managed to rx for a few moments before he heard a booming sound from the distance which made him and others look at the sound. The sound came from the huge windstorm that was rotating at an incredible speed. However, after the sound, the huge windstorm started to disappear slowly and within a few seconds, itpletely disappeared revealing Edmond, Darbaudr, and the giant creature which was on the ground. "Huh? What happened to the Godfather?" One of Edmond''s godsons said with a shocked expression. Only when they heard him, all the remaining people noticed that Edmond was walking with the support of the Barbarian. They didn''t waste any time and rushed towards their godfather with concerned faces. Ajax also followed them without dy. Unlike other cultivators'' faces, Ajax''s face was filled with concern and guilty. He was guilty because the reason Edmond was in his current state was all because of him. "Godfather, are you alright?" "Please say something, Godfather," As soon as they reached him, all of his godsons and goddaughters asked worriedly and some of them even cried looking at Edmond''s body which was entirely covered in wounds. "What are you whining for? I am still alive," Edmond hit the back of King killer''s head and scolded all. Hearing his scolding, all of them immediately stopped crying and held back their emotions. "Father, why do you always hit me?" King killer with his arrogant face asked as though he wasining. "Because I like you among all the nine, satisfied?" Edmond winked his eye at others as he said to King killer. "See that, I am his favourite son," As soon as he heard that, King killer started bragging it to others. Edmond nodded his head looking at his godsons and goddaughters before his gaze finallynded on Ajax, whose face still had a concern and guilt. Seeing it, Edmond shook his head. "Ajax, no need to me yourself for this. I am alright, see," Edmond tried to stand on his own tofort Ajax but he was barely able to stand. When he saw that Ajax felt warm inside his heart and shook his head as he smiled. "Thanks, Captain Edmond," Ajax thanked him from the bottom of his heart. ''Darbaudr, what happened to the Captain,'' Edmond didn''t discuss the events that happened to them, so Ajax asked Darbaudr about them. ''By the time I was there, he was fully covered in injuries and I only helped him block one attack; however, he mysteriously stood up and killed the giant creature on his own. He is really powerful,'' Darbaudr silently replied to Ajax and praised Edmond for his battle prowess. ''Haha, I know,'' Ajax smiled as he nodded his head and asked, ''Did he summon any elemental spirit in the huge windstorm?'' "Huh?" Darbaudr appeared surprised for a second before shaking his head as though he was saying that he didn''t summon any elemental spirit. ''What? He managed to kill the old man without summoning any elemental spirits?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before feeling excited. He was excited that Captain Edmond was even more powerful than he thought. "Darbaudr, you were really fierce while killing those creatures," Edmond praised Darbaudr for his fierce killings but he didn''t ask him about his sudden increase in his cultivation. Although Edmond didn''t know how Darbaudr''s strength increased, he was sure about one thing though, that the reason behind his elevation was rted to Ajax and thought he would ask Ajax about it and when they were alone. And the most important thing he wanted to ask Ajax was about Necros. Edmond remembered all the things he wanted to ask Ajax and made a note in his mind. "Don''t say those things, Captain. Inside the windstorm, you didn''t even give me a chance to attack that giant creature," The barbarian bitterly smiled as he shook his head. Initially, Darbaudr wanted to test his returned strength on the giant creature; however, before he could even move his hand, the giant creature was killed by Edmond by some kind of artifact. So, he was disappointed but he was happy that the fight ended without any loss from their side. "Hahaha" Edmond embarrassedlyughed as he knew what that barbarian was talking about. ''Should we take some rest before we enter the demon world?'' As they were walking towards it''s Earth shield, Darbaudr asked Edmond through voice transmission. ''Huh?'' Edmond paused for a moment before nodding his head in Darbaudr''s agreement. Soon they entered the Earth shield to take rest as it was the only ce which was devoid of blood and carcasses of the fused spirit beasts. After entering the Earth shield, they helped Edmond sleep beside Levi and treated his wounds. After a few moments, everyone found a ce to sit and started rxing from their earlier battle. ''System, unmute the notifications now,'' Ajax also found a ce and unmuted the system notifications. As soon as he did, a flood of system notifications came to his mind and holographic screens started appearing one after another making him dizzy. ''Damn, how many notifications did I get actually?'' Ajax thought in his mind before clearing all the notifications that came from killing the creatures. Amidst his clearing the notifications, he got a new system notification with a red dot on it. Ajax felt curious and opened it to take a look at it which made him sigh. Chapter 282: Entering the Five Elemental World again

282 Entering the Five Elemental World again

''Ding, Mission alert, Mission name:- Save Raweth''s brother. ''Ding, Raweth''s brother''s health condition became severe, so the system suggests the hostplete the mission as soon as possible. ''Sigh...Can''t I take some rest beforepleting a mission,'' Ajax felt that from the moment he breakthroughed to the Commander realm, he was continuously on a mission hunt and felt tired. ''But I shouldn''t abandon his brother,'' At the same time, Ajax felt that he shouldplete the mission, not for the reward but to help Raweth. Although Ajax doesn''t have a real family, he didn''t want one of his contracted spirit beast''s blood brothers to die when he had the chance to help him. ''I think, upgraded mini thunder pool''s water will heal his brother,'' Ajax thought in his head. When the mission was first generated, Ajax didn''t have a clear solution to heal Raweth''s brother as he thought the grade 1 elemental paradise''s water won''t have much effect and wanted to find a solution for it before entering the five elemental world. However, to his luck, the mini thunder pool''s grade increased from grade 1 to grade 2 and the water became much more concentrated and the healing properties of it increased when he used the spring of life water to upgrade it. So, now he had the full hope of saving Raweth''s brother after entering the five elemental world. ''Darbuadr, I am going out for a while. Please take care of senior brother Levi and others,'' Ajax silently said to Darbaudr through the voice transmission. ''But, young master, it is dangerous in the middle section of the Cursed wilderness,'' The barbarian immediately mentioned about the ce they were presently at. ''No need to worry, if anything happens, I will call you through the spirit mark,'' Ajax said as he ran into the distance while summoning Necros and it back into his spirit consciousness. ''Stay safe, young master,'' Darbaudr knew that his young master had many secrets and he didn''t want anyone to know, so Darbaudr didn''t ask anything about it and nodded his head at Ajax''''s words. Others were dead tired, so they didn''t ask Ajax anything since they knew he had the strength to protect him and in the worst-case scenario, he could escape using his elemental spirit''s summons. So, they focused on rxing their bodies. As for Ajax, he just wanted to move away from them before anyone asked him more questions about where he was going in the middle of the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness. Ajax didn''t travel very far from their rxing spot and stopped running. ''System, open up the free trip to the five elemental world,'' He checked his surroundings which were devoid of any spirit beasts, so he immediately ordered the system. ''Crack'' As soon as he thought in his head, a portal opened appeared in front of him that looked like a crack in the space. Without any hesitation, Ajax rushed into the portal and soon the portal closed. .... In the Lightning Hawk tribe, Five elemental world, ''Hahahaha,'' an old birdman loudlyughed as he opened his eyes from his cultivation. "Oh Ajax, that water was wonderful. Not only it helped him break through to the next realm but it also helped me understand somethings that I never understood before consuming the water," the old birdman said as he remembered Ajax. The old birdman was none other than Elder Qwerek, who was tribe leader of the Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe. Whenever he came out of his cultivation, he would think about the young man that came to his tribe at the right time and helped them be the number one tribe among the three tribes. Along with that, he also helped Elder Qwerek by giving some thunder realm''s water which helped him break through his cultivation. As he was thinking about Ajax, he heard some noise outside his room, so he opened his door with a wave and asked, "What do you have to inform me?" When Elder Qwerek was in closed-door seclusion, no one dared to disturb him unless there was an important matter. So, most of the time, anyone wants to inform him, they would just roam in front of his room. When Elder Qwerek opens his eyes, he would sense the movements of the informer and invites him in to ask about the details. As soon as the door to his room was opened, a middle-aged birdman came into the room and bowed before informing, "The young man that brought the tribe''s childe previously came once again; however, there was no sign of our tribe''s childe. He said he wants to meet you," "What? Ajax came here?" Elder Qwerek was shocked and hurriedly stood up before asking the birdman excitedly. "Yes, Elder. But he didn''t bring our tribe''s childe with him, so I guess I will say that you are in the closed-door seclusion" the informing bird didn''t notice the excitement in Elder Qwerek''s face and said his thoughts about Ajax. "What did you say? He is the benefactor of the Lightning Hawk tribe, how dare you say that" Elder Qwerek lightly hit the birdman before leaving the room to meet Ajax. Although he hit lightly, the birdman felt huge pain on his back but it was nothing serious. ''He did help us by bringing our tribe''s childe here, but is there a reason to me to receive that attack and what''s more, that even Elder Qwerek also seemed excited to meet that Ajax,'' the birdman didn''t understand why their tribe leader was overly excited to meet Ajax but still he rubbed his back before rushing after Elder Qwerek. It was not the middle-aged bird man''s fault, Except for a few elders who received the thunder realm''s water from Elder Qwerek no one from the Hawk tribe knows about Ajax''s gift that was invaluable for the Hawk tribe. So, the middle-aged birdman thought Elder Qwerek was reacting a little too much hearing Ajax''s name. ¡­.. In the main hall of the tribe leader''s house. Ajax was sitting on a sofa and rested his head on it. His face was full of exhaustion and he seemed too tired as he waited for Elder Qwerek. After entering the five elemental world, Ajax teleported to a ce that was closest to the Lightning Hawk tribe. However, as soon as he teleported into the five elemental world, he met a group of wild spirit beasts which were having almost general realm strength. In the beginning, he was excited that while fighting those spirit beasts, his level 1 sword dao which was previously unable to break through to the level 2 sword dao against the fight with the creatures, was easily able to break through to level 2 sword dao within a few shes. So, he thought it was easy for him to increase his dao by fighting those high-level spirit beasts. But the reality hit him very hard that the same process of continuous killing was happening once again. He was able to kill a few along with his summons but he could not ovee his exhaustion. So, without any hesitation, he fled to the hawk tribe and came to the tribe leader''s house to rest. "Hello, Ajax," As soon as he heard that, Ajax stood up without wasting any time, and hurriedly asked, "I need room to rest." Chapter 283: Meeting in the Hawk tribe

283 Meeting in the Hawk tribe

Elder Qwerek was shocked to see the tired look on Ajax''s face and didn''t ask him anything before ordering someone to show a room for Ajax to rest. "Thank you, Elder Qwerek," Ajax thanked him before following a birdman to his resting room. ''He looks dead tired. I wonder what happened to him that made him that tired,'' Elder Qwerek thought in his head and looked at a servant before saying, "Summon all the Elders, say that I have something to discuss with them." "Yes, tribe leader," that servant birdman epted themand and left the house immediately. ''I wanted to ask him something but it looks like I need to wait until he wakes up,'' Elder Qwerek shook his head as he looked in the direction Ajax went earlier. ... In one of the rooms of the Hawk Tribe leader''s house, "Finally, I can sleep for now," As soon as he entered the room given to him, Ajax didn''t wait for anything before copsing on a soft bed. The reason Ajax didn''t rx in the human world was that the time flow in the five elemental world was fast whenpared to his world. So, he thought resting in the five elemental world was the right decision. As for the reason he didn''t rest outside the Hawk tribe was due to a number of the spirit beasts that were lurking around the tribe. So, he summoned Twilight from the inner world and rode it. However, he summoned it back before entering the tribe as he doesn''t want others to think, he came to attack the tribe. Although it was only a few days for him since he entered the five elemental worldst time, it was a few months for the tribe people. So he didn''t want to raise anymotion and dragged his tired body to the tribe leader''s house with much difficulty. Soon, Ajax went into his dreams and thought about all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts breaking through to the king realm and he dominated the entire human world. In that dream, all the high-level human cultivators kneeled in front of him. But, what he found weird about the dream was that he still had the same age whereas all his brothers and friends became middle-aged men and Captain Edmond became an old man. In the middle of his dreams, he startedughing sometimes and frowned at sometimes. Overall, he was enjoying his dreams of dominating the world. ..... After sometime In another room, "Did you notice that the number of spirit beasts surrounding our tribe has been increasingtely?" Elder Qwerek asked the five elders of the Hawk tribe. "Yes, leader. Not only their numbers but their strength also increased. The highest spirit beast that I saw had a cultivation of rank 6," The most senior and powerful among all five elders Cretual nodded his head in agreement with Qwerek''s words and continued, "I think, that fire crow tribe is behind all this." "Fire crow tribe doesn''t have that kind of strength," The remaining elders also agreed with Kraiww. "Maybe, you are right. I might be thinking too much about the fire crow tribe," Cretual, nodded his head and agreed with the rest of the Elders. Even though he was powerful, Cretual doesn''t have a hint of arrogance and as long as what other elders said had truth to it, he would agree to it without hesitation. "Don''t underestimate the fire crow tribe just because your cultivations increased after consuming the thunder realm''s water. Also, did you forget how fearful we were before the three tribe contest?" Qwerek shook his head in disappointment when he looked at the tribe''s Elders who became arrogant after their strengths increased a little with the help of the water that Ajax gifted to his tribe. All the five elders became silent when they heard the words of their tribe''s leader and thought back to the time when they were fearful of the fire crow tribe. Before the three tribe contest, the fire tribe was the strongest among all the tribes and they feared that the tribe would annihte the hawk tribe after the contest. However, with the sudden appearance of Ajax, it not only changed the fate of the tribe but it also increased the cultivation of many tribe members. "Sorry leader," All of them apologized to Qwerek as they understood their mistake. "You will never be arrogant if you remember your past, understand?" Qwerek nodded his head and asked. "Yes, leader. We understood," all the five elders nodded their heads and thought back to their previous cultivations before they even consumed the thunder realm''s water. With the help of the water, the first elder, Cretual had sessfully be an elite general realm cultivator and next to him, the second elder, Erek broke through two minor realms and entered the peak level 10 general realm from his level 8 general realm cultivation. As for the brother, Kraiww and Krail both broke through five minor realms and reached level 5 of the general realm and their motivation to increase their cultivation increased even more with it, making them cultivate even more time than their regr cultivation time. The only female among the elders, Eica gained a lot from the thunder realm''s water as he sessfully reached level 5 from the peak level 10 elitemander realm and reached the brothers'' cultivation. "But tribe leader, you didn''t say how you get the thunder realm''s water," Eica always wanted to know how Qwerek got the water as it was very helpful for her in breaking through minor realms. So, she asked him. "Haha," in response to her question, Qwerekughed and looked at other elders. Except for Kraiww''s face, all other elders'' faces were filled with curiosity as they looked at Qwerek as though they wanted to know about the source of the thunder realm''s water. "Kraiww, why don''t you say it. Since you seem close to him?" Qwerek looked at Kraiww and asked him to answer Eica''s question. "Me?" Kraiww was surprised and looked at Eica. Chapter 284: The older birdman wakes up

284 The older birdman wakes up

"The water is a gift from the youth that brought our tribe''s childe to our tribe for participating in the three tribes contest," Kraiww said to all the elders. "What?" "That brat give the thunder realm''s gift just like that?" "We already owed him a lot from the contest and with water¡­..sigh," All the elders were shocked and asked their tribe leader for confirmation. "Yes, he asked me to give the water to all the elders and other geniuses of the tribe," Qwerek nodded his head, rifying all their doubts. "That kid is good," Eica nodded her head and praised Ajax "Yeah, I think I should betroth my daughter to him," Cretual slowly said, shocking all those who were present at the meeting. "Are you serious?" Qwerek seriously asked Cretual, raising his brows. "No, I was just kidding, hehe" Cretual sheepishly smiled making all the shocked elders speechless. "We should thank him, the next time he visits our tribe," Erek calmly said with his serious face. Although he looked serious, everyone knows that he was the kindest one among all the elders, so they didn''t mind his serious look and nodded their heads. "And one more thing, you should thank Kraiww before thanking Ajax," Qwerek stood up from his chair and said with a small smile on his face. "Huh? Why?" All the elders were puzzled and wanted to know the reason to thank him. "While Ajax gave me the thunder realm''s water, he mentioned to give more than 50 percent of the water to Kraiww as he helped Ajax with some things while he was staying in our tribe; however, Kraiww decided to share the thunder realm''s water equally with the other elders," The hawk tribe leader smiled as he looked at Kraiww. Among the five hawk tribe elders, three elders were his half disciples, so he was proud of his disciple who thought about the tribe; instead of thinking for his own personal gains. "Oh, thanks Kraiww," "Thanks, senior brother," "Thanks, brother, but you hid this matter from your own brother, I am not talking to you," All of them thanked Kraiww as he was the main reason they were able to breakthrough in their cultivations. "Now,ing to the other matter, I summoned all of you here because our tribe''s benefactor is here and currently he was resting. I want all of us to thank him properly and if you have anything good, then give it to him," Qwerek requested all of the elders to thank Ajax properly with some valuable treasures they had to show their gratitude to him. "Sure leader, how can we not thank our benefactor properly when he had helped us this much," Kraiww was the first to agree with the tribe leader. "I agree," "Me too," All the elders were more than happy to give one of their treasures to Ajax for helping them with their cultivations and tribe. Since Ajax came back to his tribe once again, Qwerek wanted to show his and his tribe elder''s gratitude properly this time. "Okay then. I will inform you when he wakes up until then keep an eye on the surroundings of our tribe," Qwerek said his final words for the meeting before leaving back to his room. Simrly, all the elders nodded their heads and thought about what to give Ajax as they walked back to their own houses. "Brother, What should we give him?" Krail asked his brother while covering him with his wing. "Didn''t you say, you were not talking with me?" Kraiww withheld hisughter as he asked his little brother. "I was just kidding back then," Krail said with an embarrassed expression on his face. "Okay," Kraiww knew that his brother was a little sensitive, so he didn''t y with him and directly came to the point and said, "I already nned two gifts, so you don''t need to worry about the gift." "Really? You are great brother," When he heard Kraiww''s words, Krail immediately hugged Kraiww and excitedly shouted. "Stop, all are watching us. Don''t embarrass me and don''t embarrass yourself. We are elders of the tribe now," Kraiww immediately made Krail release the grip around him seeing the surrounding tribe members. Just like them, every other elder nned a gift for Ajax and at the same time hoped that Ajax had more thunder realm''s water with him. ...¡­. At the same time, somewhere in the Shixato wilds, "He is here, I can sense him. Finally, he is here, hehehe" an old voice came out of an ancient-looking coffin. Just after those words, the ancient-looking coffin opened and a thin old birdman came out of it with an excited expression on his old wrinkled face. He was none other than the older birdman who wanted to kill Ajax when Ajax came to the five elemental worldst time. However, Ajax managed to escape from him by fooling him with his tricks. "Damn you, Human brat. Because of you, my 1000 years of the n went into the drain," the previously excited expression on his face disappeared and was reced with a cruel expression. "This time, I am not going to make any mistakes and kill you as soon as I find you, hehe," his excited expression once again returned to his face as he flew into the sky in the search of Ajax. The older birdman only flew for a few minutes and with his strength, he reached the outskirts of the Hawk tribe and stopped. ''Huh? So, you are hiding here. Good, good,'' Once he found out that Ajax was inside the Hawk tribe, the older birdman''s mood became even more excited as he said ''Good'' twice in a row. ''What a wonderful opportunity to annihte the Lightning dragon hawk tribe and kill that human brat at the same time, hehe,'' The older birdman nodded his head and looked at the surrounding spirit beasts that were roaming aimlessly in the outskirts of the tribe. "Okay brat. Looks like you are lucky to live a few more hours. But don''t worry, you will die," The older birdman looked at the tribe leader''s house from a distance and disappeared as though he was nning something. Chapter 285: Time Boos

285 Time Boos

Twelve 12 hours, "Ummm," Ajax finally woke up from his long dream of dominating the world and released a long gasp. "After a good sleep, everything seems anew," Ajax''s body was filled with energy as he said that. Ajax felt really good after a long sleep that the previous weariness of his body was entirely gone and it was reced with energy. The first thing he did after waking up was, to take a long bath to remove the bloodstains and dirt on his body. Previously, when he slept he didn''t find his body smelly because of his tiredness; however, once his tiredness was gone he couldn''t bear the smell and immediately went to take a bath. Aftering out of the bath, he wore fresh clothes from his space ring and sat on the bed to look at the system notifications. ''System, show me recent notifications,'' Ajax silently asked the system about notifications. When he unmuted the system notifications, he was unable to see all the system notifications, so he asked the system to show them again, not to miss any important thing from them. Soon a flood of system notifications appeared in front of him. Ajax started seeing all the notifications one by one with patience. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the bonus mission. ''Ding, For killing more than 100 creatures, the host is rewarded with a special reward box. "Special reward box is good," Ajax nodded his head at the reward and continued to check more system notifications. Except for the mission aplishment, Ajax didn''t find any system notification worthy to check carefully, so he shook his head. ''I should go and have a talk with Elder Qwerek,'' After checking all the system notifications, Ajax stood up to go outside to have a little talk with the tribe leader of the Hawk tribe. "Before that, let me open up that special reward box," Ajax stopped as he took out a small gift box from his inventory. ording to the system, a special reward box would give an item that was most needed by the host, so Ajax had high expectations from it. ''System, open the special reward box,'' He asked the system to open it. ''Ding, A special reward box is opened. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully gaining a ''Time Boost'' ''Huh?'' Ajax was puzzled at the new item he gained from the special reward box and immediately checked it''s information. ''Ding, Item name:- Time Boost (Level 1) Time:- A Month Description:- A one-time use item that can be used to increase the time experienced by an individual in a fraction of seconds. "Is it for real?" Ajax rubbed his eyes and checked the item details once again. Ajax was marvelled at the usefulness of the special rewards box and swore to collect more of them. And, as for the reason he needed that time boost was to use on Raweth to wake him up from his inheritance absorbing cultivation. Ajax was hesitating to wake him up since it could be dangerous sometimes when waking someone up from that type of cultivation; however, now with time boost, he doesn''t need to hesitate any longer. ''System, use the time boost on Raweth,'' Ajax ordered the system as he peered into the inner world to absorb Raweth. ''I hope this one-month time boost is enough to wake him up from his inheritance absorbing cultivation,'' Ajax hoped that Raweth should wake after using this one-time use item on him. ording to Ajax''s estimate, one month was more than enough to wake Raweth up; however, there were various variables that might increase the time, so he hoped it would be sooner. If Raweth doesn''t wake up, it would take time for him to find his brother in the fire crow tribe, so, all his hopes were on the time boost in his hands. ''Ding, The Time boost disappears after this use, do you really want to use it? "Yes, go ahead," Ajax nodded his head and epted the system''s warning notification. ''Ding, Boosting the one month time on Raweth, please wait. ''Hmm,'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at Raweth to absorb the changes in him. As soon as he checked Raweth, he was shocked by the rich essence of nature that was entered into his body at an incredible speed. ''''What the heck! I think I should be careful when I use time boosts, otherwise, it might suck all the essence of nature in the inner world. With Raweth''s insane absorption of the essence of nature, except for the elemental paradises, the inner world looked like a dried tree without any essence of nature and thought in his head. The reason for worrying was not wrong since he only used a level 1 time boost now, what happens if he used level 2 or level 3 time boost. Just imagining it made him shake his head and swore to remember about the time boost in his head. Just as he was in his thoughts, Raweth woke up from his cultivation and there were some huge changes in his body that made Ajax''s interest in the evolved spirit beasts increase by another tier. Raweth''s previously huge wings disappeared and two ck wing tattoos appeared on his back and he looked just like a regr human except for his height which was nearly three meters. And the most important change in Raweth that made Ajax excited was that Raweth broke through to the General realm and even reached level 2 of that realm. "Haha, Raweth, you are the strongest spirit beast that I have contracted," Ajax didn''t summon Raweth out from the inner world; instead, he talked with him through the spirit contract. "Thanks, young master," Raweth felt indebted to Ajax from the moment he saved him from the older birdman and along with the inheritance which he got from Ajax, he couldn''t express his gratitude in words and swore to give his life for him after his brother passed away. "We came to the Five elemental world, so adapt to your newly achieved strength," Ajax informed him about the Five Elemental world making Raweth excited. ''Yes, I will do that,'' He politely nodded his head and followed Ajax''s suggestion. However, he stopped for a moment and asked Ajax, "Young master, is there a way to save my brother?" Even though he achieved such strength he still didn''t forget his brother who was sick for a long time and wanted to save him. However, he knew from his tribe leader that his brother would not be able to live more than 20 years, he wanted to find a cure for his brother. That was the sole motivation for him to endure the pains from the most difficult training given by his tribe''s leader. So, he wanted to ask Ajax who promised him to save his brother earlier. "I will try my best to save, so don''t worry," Ajax smiled as he promised Raweth once again. When he heard Ajax''s words, Raweth felt rxed as he felt that Ajax had many miraculous things, so he thought he might have also had a cure for his brother. Raweth stopped his train of thoughts and started focusing on stabilizing his cultivation. Just as he came out of the inner world, Ajax got a series of system notifications that made him excited ''Ding, Chapter 286: New Elemental Paradises

286 New Elemental Paradises

''Ding, The inner world is upgraded. Please check the details in the user interface. ''Ding, The construction of the fire and water elemental dual paradise ispleted. Please check. ''Ding, The construction of the poison elemental paradise ispleted. Please check. "What is it? A bonanza?" Ajax felt surprised with the back to back system notifications that were all good news for him. Without any dy, he opened the user interface to check the changes in the inner world. Ajax was disappointed at first when he saw the information on the inner world but he felt good when hepletely read the information on the holographic screen in front of him. Ajax only focused on two changes that were made in the inner world after it''s upgraded. ''Ding, The daily essence of nature given to the host by the inner world will be stopped from now onwards. ''Ding, Instead, the essence of nature is umted over time to increase the richness of the essence of nature in the inner world. Although he would not be getting any free essence of nature from now on, it was also a good thing to increase the purity of the essence of nature. ''Anyway, those 100 plus units of the essence of nature is not enough for me anyway,'' Ajax consoled himself before checking the other changes of the inner world by entering the inner world in his spirit consciousness form. As soon as he entered the inner world, the previously absorbed essence of nature by Raweth came back and the purity was more than when he entered the inner worldst time. ''It''s good. I wonder, what will happen if I nt those medicinal seeds I got from the never-returning cave,'' Ajax suddenly thought back to the reward he gained from Zanath. ''If all the medicinal seeds I sow in the inner world grow into nts, then how rich is the essence of nature in the inner world would be,'' Ajax thought as he quickly took out the medicinal seed from his inventory and stated nting then from a small distance from the min thunder realm''s pool. He understood one thing from thetest upgrade of the inner world. That was, all the inner world''s essence of nature that was generated by the nts in it were being used for increasing the purity of the essence of nature in it. So he thought about increasing the essence of nature generated by the nts to increase the richness of the essence of nature even more. Soon, he finished nting all the medicinal seeds and he also sowed the mysterious seed he got from the summoner king along with him. ''Please, show some reaction at least this time,'' Ajax begged it before pouring some thunder realm''s water to all the medicinal seeds. As soon as he poured it, all connected to the inner world to sense the fluctuations of the seeds. As soon as he connected to the inner world, he was able to feel all the things in the inner world as though it was his body. He observed all the spirit beasts and Elemental spirits and felt something different from the time where he used to check the inner world through his spirit consciousness. Soon he focused on the medicinal nts that he recently nted. To his surprise, all the medicinal seeds except for the mysterious seed showed a small growth which was impossible to know unless he connected his spirit consciousness to the inner world. ''I guess, this attempt also failed with this mysterious seed,'' Ajax shook his head looking at the ce he sowed the mysterious seed and didn''t pay any heed to it. After that, he disconnected with the inner world and went to a new elemental paradise which was almost at one end of the inner world. However, it didn''t take much time for him to go there and used the system to check its information. ''Ding, Elemental paradise:- Fire and Water Dual elemental (Grade 1) Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of the all element spirit beasts and elemental spirits that are rted to fire and water type. 2) Increases the cultivation speed of those beings by twice 3) Continuous staying in the elemental paradise can increase the bloodline and strength of those beings. "Hmm, nothing umon from the regr elemental paradise," Ajax felt a small disappointment with its information but overall he was satisfied that Raweth and Volcanis now had their own elemental paradise. Ajax soon looked at both of them to ask them to cultivate in the elemental paradise; however, Raweth was busy adapting to his new strength whereas Volcanis was still unconscious from the elemental spirit battle. ''Sigh...Necros, slowly bring Volcanis here,'' When he saw the unconscious Volcanis, Ajax sighed and asked Necros to bring him to the fire and water dual elemental paradise. "Yes summoning master," Necros carefully carried Volcanis and slowly ced him on the edge of the volcano. That''s right, the fire and water elemental paradise was like a small circr pool which was divided into two by an extremely thin barrier that was separating the volcano from the fire element side and water from the water element side. As soon as he was ced in the volcano, Volcanis'' body started absorbing the fire essence of nature from the volcano. Soon, Volcanic moved his eyelids but didn''t open them yet. However, from the expression on his transparent face, Ajax could guess he was veryfortable in the volcano and didn''t disturb him before moving to the next new elemental paradise. However, his jaws dropped when he saw a silhouette in the green mist of the poison elemental paradise. "Bane, you are very fast," Ajax bitterly smiled at his poison elemental spirit that entered the elemental paradise as soon as it was constructed. But he didn''t say anything, since he built it for him anyway. Unlike the dual elemental paradise, building this elemental paradise was a littleplicated. Actually, it was a reward forpleting a mission in the past; however, when he tried to build it, the system asked him to collect the three most potent poisons for the construction of a free poison elemental paradise. Finally, whenpleting another mission which was the reason behind the appearance of the spirit beasts in the outer section, he was awarded with three poisons from the system. Before he entered the dimension crevice, Ajax asked the system to build all the new elemental paradise, which were nowpleted. "Bane,e out, once," Ajax called Bane toe out. When he heard Ajax''smand, Bane unwillingly came out of the poison elemental paradise. "Why are you sad? I wanted to increase its grade. Okay then, you can go inside and cultivate," Ajax scoffed at bane before turning back to leave from the poison elemental paradise. "Summoning master, I was wrong. I was too excited to see this ce and didn''t want toe out. Please master, increase its level," when he heard Ajax''s word, Bane was surprised at first and started his pity act. "Stop, I will upgrade it," Ajax was just joking with him; however, Bane was anxious about Ajax''s not wanting to upgrade the poison elemental paradise. ''Roarr,'' Just as he was about to upgrade the poison elemental paradise, he heard a loud roar from the distance. Chapter 287: A Special Golden Bear King

287 A Special Golden Bear King

"Huh?" Ajax locked into one corner of the inner world and surprised for a bit; however, that surprise didn''tst long as it was reced by shock. "Why is Fuzzball behaving like that?" Ajax thought in his head while looking at the Golden bear king in the distance that was gone mad and immediately rushed towards it. Along the way, he tried to know what it was going through, with the spirit contract he formed with it earlier. "Sigh¡­.," After sensing its feelings and inner thoughts, Ajax could not help but sigh and stopped in his tracks. The reason why the Golden bear king had gone mad was that he was in a pain of losing his child that was just hatched out of the egg. ''System, is there a way to save his child?'' Ajax doesn''t have any medical skills, so he asked the system for a way out. ''Ding, Yes, there is a way. In fact, the baby golden bear didn''t die. It was in a state of shock. "State of shock?" Ajax was puzzled at the system and connected with the inner world to check the small golden bear. As soon as he did that, he sensed a small spirit consciousness that looked like a candle me that was about to disappear. ''Ding, The Golden bear king''s offspring received a spirit attack when it was in the egg. That is the reason, the child was not moving. The system exined Ajax when he sensed the small me in the baby golden bear. "So, what do I have to do to save it?" Ajax asked as he disconnected with the inner world ''Ding, Form a contract with it and share your energy orb with it. "Huh? Looks like I have to take permission from his father, but he sure doesn''t listen to me in his present state," Ajax looked at the angry Golden bear king which was continuously roaring and looking at his unconscious child. ''Let me talk to it,'' Although he formed a contract with it, the Golden bear king didn''t ept him as the master yet and what''s more, it was in an angry state, so Ajax thought it was difficult to talk with it. Nevertheless, he wanted to give it a try before trying any other forceful methods. "I can save your child," Ajax didn''t bber any nonsense and directly came to the point with the Golden bear king. As soon as he said those words, the roaring Golden bear king stopped its insane roaring and looked at Ajax with a suspicious eyes. ''Huh? This bear is really calmed down,'' To his surprise, the Golden bear king became silent just after hearing his words that made Ajax think it was not a normal Golden bear. In general, all the bear type spirit beasts have more rage and would attack anyone when they were in insane mode. There were even cases that they killed their own masters. Among all the bear type spirit beasts, the golden bear king was known for two things. And the second thing was, they were insanely angry most of the time. However, the Golden bear king became silent just with a few words that made Ajax think that this one was a special one among all the Golden bear kings. "Please save it," The Golden bear king suspiciously looked only for a second before bowing to Ajax as he begged. "I will try my best," Ajax nodded his head and walked towards the unconscious small bear and ced his finger on its small head. After cing his finger, he slowly entered into its spirit consciousness which was not even formedpletely and carefully ced his spirit mark on it before leaving the small spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The spirit contract is sessfullypleted. "Roar," the golden bear king that was observing Ajax''s action became somewhat impatient and angry as he formed a spirit contract with his child without asking him. However, it only roared in a low voice showing its dissatisfaction at Ajax''s actions. "Wait," Ajax shook his head at the Golden bear king''s low roar and asked him to wait. The reason he had to form a spirit contract with the baby golden bear was to share the system rewards with it; otherwise, he could not use them on others. After the system notification came, Ajax breathed a sigh of relief since it was going smoothly than he expected. Next, with the same process, he ced his finger on it before closing his eyes and broke the energy orb in his spirit consciousness forcefully. As soon as he broke the energy orb, the rich essence of nature rushed all over his body but he focused on the aggressive essence of nature and directed it towards his finger to transport it to the small golden bear. The rich essence of nature was slowly transported into the small golden bear''s spirit consciousness. With each passing second the vitality in the small golden bear''s body increased at an incredible speed and its spirit consciousness improper shape became proper and started increasing in size. ''Ding, The small golden bear can''t handle the essence of nature anymore, the system suggests the host to stop. As he slowly transported the essence of nature, he got the system notification, so he immediately stopped it and stood up from the ground. "Aarghh" As soon as he stood up, Ajax felt a sudden pain in his body from the remaining energy of the energy orb and immediately started focusing on that essence of nature to spread all over his body before sending some to his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for breaking through to the level 7 of themander realm. After enduring the pain and allowing his body to forcefully absorb the remaining essence of nature for a few minutes, he got the system notification that made all his pain go away. "Phew," he heaved a sigh of relief before looking at the golden bear king and said, "Don''t need to worry, he will wake up soon." When the Golden bear king heard those words, it immediately checked on the small golden bear, who now had more vitality than before and nodded his head as he believed Ajax''s words. ''Even though I said, it is a special one among the golden bears, some of its characteristics don''t change,'' Ajax shook his head at the proud Golden bear king who just nodded his head for saving his child. ''Anyway, I don''t like when anyone bows to me. It makes me feel that I am not their friend anymore,'' Although by forming a spirit contract with an elemental spirit or spirit beast, the one who ces the spirit mark in thetter''s spirit consciousness would be the master. However, Ajax never saw those elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts that he had formed a spirit contract with; instead, he considered them as hispanions and friends. So, he really doesn''t like when they bow to him. "By the way, who attacked you and the egg?" After pondering for a moment, Ajax asked the calmed Golden bear king. Although the reason behind the appearance of the spirit beasts in the outer section of the cursed wilderness was rted to the demon, he didn''t think the one that attacked the Golden bear king was them, so he asked about it. Chapter 288: A walk in the Inner World

288 A walk in the Inner World

"Huh?" The Golden bear king looked at him before saying, "It''s just a fight between spirit beasts for the territory." "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and turned back to go to the poison elemental paradise to upgrade. After the spirit beasts reached sufficient strength they would enter the middle section of the cursed wilderness and fight for territory. So Ajax was not surprised to hear about the territory battle and left the father and child pair. Soon, he came to the poison elemental paradise and said, ''System upgrade it to grade 2.'' Ajax didn''t have to do anything for upgrading since it was a reward from the system, which he didn''t use earlier and waited for a suitable elemental paradise to upgrade. As soon as he requested the system to upgrade the grade, the poison elemental paradise was covered in a dark green coloured gas which hindered Ajax''s sight from what was happening in the elemental paradise. It didn''t take much time for the dark green coloured gas to be light green and Ajax was able to see the insides of the poison elemental paradise through the light poison''s mist. The poison elemental paradise looked very different from the other elemental paradises. It waspletely filled with a green liquid from which bubbles were popping out. Just looking at it made Ajax vomit; however, he checked the information of the elemental paradise in front of him. ''Ding, Elemental paradise:- Poison elemental paradise (Grade 2) Effects:- 1) Increased healing for poison type beings. 2) Increases the cultivation speed of poison type beings by thrice 3) Continuous staying in the elemental paradise can increase the bloodline and strength of those beings. Special effect:- There is a certain chance of mutation if cultivated in the poison elemental paradise for a long time. "Its effects are the same as the grade 2 lightning elemental paradise," After seeing the information on the poison elemental paradise, hepared it with the other grade 2 paradise and nodded his head. Just like the lightning elemental paradise, this poison elemental paradise had an extra effect called Special effect, so he was pretty much satisfied with it and immediately turned back and walked away from the elemental paradise. "Three grade 2 elemental paradises, one grade 1 dual elemental paradise. Good, good," Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the different elemental paradises. ''Since I am here let''s check all the spirit beasts and elemental spirits,''?Next, Ajax wanted to check his team as he took a walk in the inner world observing one after another. He broke through the elemental spirit soldier realm within a few days and even managed to reach level 5 of the elite elemental spirit soldier. Next,?he gazed into the dark elemental paradise, there he observed the Netherworld Ice Sparrow, which was also absorbing the inheritance whereas his official contract skills, Nite and Dabrus were not wasting a single second and hurriedly cultivated. They were jealous about the unofficial elemental spirits and wanted to be stronger than them so that they could get more chances of fighting outside. Outside the Dark elemental paradise, Twilightzily slept without bothering about its strength or cultivation. Since its size was very huge, it was not permitted into the elemental paradise. So it was rxing in front of it. Ajax walked one trip covering all the spirit beasts and the elemental spirits beforeing out of the inner world. "Now, let''s go out," Ajax thought to himself beforeing out of the room. Just as he came out of the room, he saw a birdman that showed him the room yesterday as though he was waiting for Ajax toe out of the room. "Sir Ajax, tribe leader, asked you to meet him as soon as youe out of your room," the birdman bowed and respectfully said to Ajax. "Sure, show me the way," Ajax nodded his head and asked him to guide him to the tribe leader. "Yes sir," the birdman turned around and guided Ajax to the tribe leader Qwerek. "Hello Elder Qwerek, you look younger than thest time," Ajax didn''t observe Qwerek much when he came to his house yesterday; however, now he noticed that Qwerek had be much younger than thest time he saw the Elder. "Hi, Ajax. It''s all because of you, Ajax," Elder Qwerek smiled as he pointed his finger at Ajax. "Me?" Ajax didn''t understand and looked at Qwerek for more exnation. "Because of the thunder realm''s water, you gifted me previously, I was able to breakthrough in my cultivation and as a result, I am looking much younger than before," Qwerek exined about the greatness of the thunder realm''s water with an excited expression on his face. Previously, his face was full of wrinkles and his body looked very thin and weak; however, now his face wrinkles were all gone along with his weak body gaining a bit of muscle. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head but inside his heart, he was shocked at the fact that the thunder realm''s water he was using carelessly had such a strong effect of increasing the cultivation and immediately asked system, ''System, why is the thunder realm''s water doesn''t have much effect on me and Snow?'' ''Ding, The Lightning dragon hawk tribe''s people had a greater affinity with the thunder element than any regr thunder or lightning spirit beasts. ''Ding, As for the reason, Snow didn''t have as much effect as them because she is yet to be an evolved beast. ''So, as long as Snow evolves, she will also receive such a boost in her cultivation when using the thunder realm''s water?'' Ajax was excited but he sessfully suppressed and asked the system. ''Ding, Yes, but at the same time, No. ''What do you mean by that?'' Ajax was bbergasted at the system''s words and asked to give a correct answer. However, he didn''t get any response from the system, making him frustrated. ''I think, I will have to find some answers on my own¡­..,'' "Ajax, Ajax, are you listening?" As Ajax was thinking about the thunder realm''s water, he was woken up by Elder Qwerek''s shouts. Chapter 289: Gifts

289 Gifts

"Huh?" Ajax came out of his thoughts and looked at Elder Qwerek who was asking him something. "Did you encounter any spirit beasts whileing to our tribe yesterday?" Elder Qwerek asked him once more when he saw Ajax came out oh his thoughts. "Yes Elder Qwerek, there are a lot of high-level spirit beasts that are lurking in the surroundings of your tribe. What is happening, Elder?" Ajax nodded as exined about the spirit beasts that he encountered and battled along his way to the Hawk tribe. "I think, it has something to do with the older birdman from the ancient ruins. He wanted to destroy my Lightning Daragon hawk tribe by sending the spirit beasts by using some of his tricks," Elder Qwerek shook his head as he exined about everything he knew about their present situation. "So, he knows that you helped me in escaping and wanted to destroy the Lightning Hawk Tribe," Ajax understood everything and seriously thought of a n to help the tribe. Because he was the reason that the Hawk tribe was facing the spirit beast horde, Ajax wanted to help them. "Haha, But you don''t need to worry about us, we already made our ns and waiting for that older birdman to show up at the entrance of our tribe," Elder Qwerekughed at Ajax''s serious look on his face and said him not to worry about their tribe. "Huh?" Ajax was puzzled and said, "But your strength, is it enough to fight against the older birdman?" Although Ajax knew that Elder Qwerek had a breakthrough in his cultivation, he doubted that he had enough strength to go against the older birdman. "You seem to forget about something, he can''t kill any of the three tribe members because of the seal in his body which was ced by the ancestors of our three tribes and what''s more, he can''t even enter our tribe, Haha," Tribe leader Qwerek said with augh and made Ajax remember about the seal in the older birdman''s body. "So, you are confident to go against rank 6 spirit beasts?" Ajax nodded his head and asked another question. "What do you think? Hehe," Elder Qwerekughed as he turned around and without giving any chance for Ajax to reply, he continued saying, "By the way, I and my tribe elders wanted to thank you for your previous help to us and our tribe and decide to gift some gifts in return." Ajax smiled at the starting words of the tribe leader Qwerek and continued hearing his words which made his smile bitterly. ''I really don''t know that the thunder realm''s water is that useful to you people. I casually gave it to you because you gave some good artifact and arrays. And, as for helping the tribe in winning the three tribes contest is because of the system mission,'' Ajax thought the exact reason for helping them and he felt bad to ept their rewards when he was not whole-heartedly helped them. "No no no, Whatever reasons you had, we must show you our gratitude," Qwerek didn''t pay any heed to Ajax''s words and sped his walking towards the main hall. Ajax bitterly smiled as he hurriedly followed behind the tribe leader. As soon as they entered the main hall, Ajax saw a five familiar birdman, who were rxingfortably on the sofas. "Good morning, tribe leader," "Hello Ajax" "Hi Ajax, how are you?" However, they hurried stood up when they saw Qwerek and politely greeted him and Ajax. "Hello everyone. I am good, how are you all doing?" Ajax answered and greeted them back before sitting on a chair as everyone sat in their ces. "We are all good, thanks to your gift," All five elders smilingly replied at once making Ajax smile at them. Although they all have more than 40 years, right now they were behaving like a 6-year-old kid who got his favourite candy. "Now, let''s show our gratitude to our tribe''s benefactor," The tribe leader looked his elders and said them to start gifting Ajax. "Ajax, if you don''t mind, I want to ask you a question before gifting you. What do you say?" the youngest among all the five elders, Eica started speaking first, when Qwerek finished his words. "Sure," Ajax nodded his head and agreed. "Hmm, Good. Do you have any pool or something simr to that?" Eica asked Ajax with a mysterious smile on her face. "Yes, I have a small pool back at home," Ajax nodded his head and said that he had a pool at his home. Since he couldn''t say that I have a thunder realm''s water pool in me openly, he said those words. As no one knows when a man or birdman could turn greedy when they find a most useful thing that could help them cultivate at an incredible speed. So, Ajax wanted to safe now than sorryter. "Okay then. Here is my gift to show my sincere gratitude to you," Eica said while taking out a close fish bowl from her space ring before giving it to him. "Huh?" Ajax wanted to reject the gift but seeing the angry look on Eica''s face, he didn''t dare rejected the gift and epted it. As soon as he epted the closed fish bowl, he looked at the two ck and white fishes in the bowl. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Yin-Yang Fishes Type:- Auxiliary type Rank:- None Use:- yin-yang fishes are a special type of spirit beasts that helps in the purification of the essence of nature in their surroundings. Description:- A pair of fishes thates in white and ck colour. They should always be kept together, otherwise, they will die. Soon a system notification appeared in front of him exining the details about the fishes in the closed fish bowl. "I think, you already know about these fishes right? Or should I exin about them?" Eica saw the surprised expression on Ajax''s face and understood that Ajax knew about those fishes and asked with a smile on her face. "No need to exin. I know about them. Thanks for the gift," Ajax smiled and thanked for her gift which would be very useful for him. "No need to thank me. My gift is not worth mentioning in front of the help you did to us," Eica shook?her head and continued, "By the way, you can store the closed fish bowl in you space ring and it will not affect the life of the fishes in it." Eica finished her words with a tip for Ajax about the closed fish bowl. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and understood the use of the fish bowl. In general, people could not store living beings in a space ring. If you forcefully store them in the space ring, they would be dead bodies within few second after entering the space ring. Even though Ajax had no use of that tip, he nodded his head and stored the closed fish bowl in his inventory and thought he would throw the fishes in his thunder pool in the inner world. "Now, allow me to give a gift to our benefactor from me and my brother," After Eica''s gift, Kraiww took out two things from his spirit ring while he said those words. ******** Chapter 290: A Professional Appraiser

290 A Professional Appraiser

Kraiww took out two things as gifts for Ajax, which was from him and his brother, Krail. While taking out Kraiww was smiling from ear to ear and no one knows the exact reason for his smile except for his brother. "Ajax, this is a rank 5 pill recipe which I got from an ancient cave," Kraiww didn''t announce the pill recipe''s name but only mentioned its rank to increase Ajax''s curiosity. As soon as he took that pill recipe from Kraiww, the system did its work as he got the system notification. ''Ding, Pill recipe:- Shapeshifting pill (Rank 5) Description:- A pill that helps to change the consumer''s form to the pills main ingredient. ''Huh? System can you exin a bit more,'' Ajax didn''t understand the description and asked the system in his head. ''Ding, Shapeshifting pill''s main ingredient is the essence of different beings. So, depending on the main ingredient used in refining of the pill, the consumer can transform into the being that he took the essence from. ''Woah, it''s such a good recipe but the bad thing is I am only a rank 1 alchemist. I think I should focus on refining once I get back to the Hazegroove mercenary squad,'' Ajax quickly thought about increasing his alchemy rank to five. So that he could refine the pill which looked useful in emergencies. Ajax didn''t worry about not reaching the rank 5 in the Alchemy profession, since he already bought the alchemy book about all the experiences and tips from Mason in the Exchange meeting. The only thing he needed was that he should not get some random adventurous missions for some time so that he could increase his alchemy rank to as high as possible. ''But the ingredients to reach the rank 5 in the alchemy will cost more. What''s more, even if he could afford them, there won''t be so many high-level ingredients in the Zrochester province,'' Ajax suddenly thought about the problem of bing the rank 5 alchemy master. ''I guess, I have to rely on the dimensional crevice,'' Ajax decided to pay another visit to the dimensional crevice. "How is it Ajax? Did you like it?" Kraiww asked as he looked at Ajax. "Yes, it is indeed useful to me," Ajax smiled as he replied to Kraiww. "I know that you are still not satisfied with the gift. But don''t worry, I have another gift that canpensate for the cons of the previous gift," Kraiww could guess Ajax''s thoughts as it was not easy to be a rank 5 alchemy with limited resources, so he gave a space ring as his brother''s gift. "Huh?" When he heard Kraiww''s words, Ajax''s interest was piqued as he expectantly took the space ring from Kraiww''s hands and checked inside. Inside the space ring, the space was only the size of a small room but it waspletely filled by various ss containers that had medicinal ingredients in them. "Oh, thanks, Elder Kraiww and Elder Krail," Ajax was very much satisfied with both the rewards as theyplimented one another. "Sigh¡­ I don''t know you like alchemy products; otherwise, I would have gifted them," Elder Erek sighed as he took out 10000 colourful stones. As soon as Ajax saw them, his eyes lit up and without any hesitation, he took them and stored in his inventory. Those colourful stones were none other than the mid-grade spirit stones that contained 10 times more concentrated essence of nature in it. Initially, Ajax didn''t want those things as they were not useful for him to increase his cultivation; however, after seeing the prices in the dimensional crevice, he decided to collect as many spirit stones as possible. So, he took the spirit stones without any hesitation. After that, everyone looked at the first and the most senior among the elders to see what he would be giving to Ajax. "This is an artifact that I made myself. It took years for me to create this thing and I almost bankrupted in creating this. I hope you take good care of it from now on," The first elder Cretual said as he took out a neatly folded cloth to Ajax. "What?" "You are really giving your treasure item?" "When did you be a saint?" All the elders were shocked as they asked the first elder. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the cloth that was not at all impressive; however, the facial expressions of all the elders were filled with shock when the first elder took out this item. ''Maybe this is a good item. Let me check it with the system,'' Ajax thought in his head as he slowly touched the item. ''Ding, Artifact name:- Invisible cape Grade:- High-level earth grade Effect:- Hides the presence of the owner Skill:-?Pass through Description:- An artifact that was refined by Elder Cretual for many years with a lot of resources before he became a Heaven grade cksmith. "A high-level earth grade artifact?" Ajax was shocked as he shouted out loud. "Yes, that''s right. It is a high-level earth grade artifact. By the way Ajax, you got a pretty good eye for a treasure," the first elder Cretual looked at Ajax suspiciously as he said but soon shook his head. Although he knew that Ajax had many secrets on him since he was his benefactor, the first elder nor any other elder didn''t want to harm him. "I was able to identify the artifact because I observed many artifacts like this and I can even say its effect without using the artifact," Ajax cursed himself for shouting out loud and created a story that he was not only good at identifying the artifacts grade but also good at identifying the skills and effects of a particr artifact. "Huh? Really?" Not only Erek but the remaining elders were also surprised at Ajax''s confidence in identifying skills and effects of the artifact without using them. In general, it was impossible to know the effects and skills of an item without getting the eptance of that item or without using it; however, Ajax said it with such a confident tone that made them curious and looked forward to seeing how Ajax was going to exin it to them. Soon, Ajax took the invisible cape into his hands and observed it for a few minutes like a professional appraiser. An appraiser was a profession where they used their secret techniques to find information of all the items with the minor details on the surface of the item. After observing the cloth for a few minutes, Ajax kept the cloth on the table beside him and looked at all the elders and the tribe leader who were curiously looking at him. "This item has an effect and a skill. The effect is¡­..," Soon Ajax stated all the information he saw on the holographic screen to them in his own words making them awe at the talent of Ajax. But what they didn''t know was that Ajax was just faking as a professional appraiser. "Ajax, help me say about this item," Qwerek took out an item from his space ring as he asked Ajax for his help. ******** Chapter 291: Mythical grade artifac

291 Mythical grade artifac

"Huh?" Ajax was surprised to see that tribe leader Qwerek had taken out a small coin from his space ring and asked him to appraise it. "Ajax, can you help me and say about it. Even if you are unable to appraise it, it''s not a problem," Qwerek looked at Ajax as he asked once again. "Sure, I will give it a try," Ajax acted modestly as he took the small coin from Qwerek. Even before he could check it''s details, Ajax felt something from the coin but it onlysted for a second giving him quite a shock. "Elder Qwerek, is it rted to your tribe?" Ajax asked without even checking the coin as he wanted to know where Qwerek got this coin from. "Yes, it is in our tribe''s treasury for who knows how long; however, there is a note along with the coin in the box I found it," Elder Qwerek stopped for a moment and continued, "The note said, don''t lose it at any cost." Since it was in the treasure and a note from their ancestors, Qwerek stored it in his space ring to analyze its secrets but he was unable to find it. Even though there were more appraisers in other regions of the five elemental world, he doesn''t want others to know about something that was very important to the tribe. And, as for the reason he took it out now was he trusted Ajax who was young and strong with no arrogance. "Okay, I will start now," Ajax nodded his head and understood the importance of the coin in his hand and he also understood how much Elder Qwerek trusted him by taking out that coin. Everyone nodded their heads and expectantly looked at Ajax and?prayed that he should find something about the coin. Not only Qwerek, but all the Elders of the hawk tribe gave a try in analyzing the coin but they could not find anything. So, all Elders hoped to find something about their tribe''s treasure. ''Ding, Artifact name:- Void breaker coin Grade:- Mythical grade Artifact type:- Support type "Huh?" Ajax looked at the slowing forming words on the holographic screen in front of him and puzzled as he thought, ''Why is it taking so much type for the appearance of words.'' Just as he continued looking at the screen Ajax was shocked as he stood up immediately and closely observed the coin in his hand. The coin was in a circr shape with 1-2 inches of the radius. It was coated with some kind of purple colour material that made it look more and more mysterious with small symbols on it. ''What the hell! This coin is a mythical grade artifact?'' Ajax even doubted the system about its information of the purple coins in his hand. "What happened Ajax?" "Did you find anything about it?" "Please say it quickly Ajax," All the elders, even Qwerek, also stood up from their furniture as they hurriedly asked Ajax with many questions and urged him to say something about the coin. "Haha, I found its name and grade," Ajax said in a mysterious tone that made all the elders want to kill Ajax for making them even more anxious. "It''s called Void breaker," Ajax didn''t want to make them more anxious and slowly said its name and continued, "It''s a Mythical level artifact." "Only Mythical? Huh? What did you say? Don''t y with us, Ajax," Erek was the first one to give a response to Ajax''s words. "Yes, Ajax. How can this small coin be a Mythical grade artifact?" Kraiww along with his brother, Krail also agreed with Erek. When Ajax said that the small coin was a mythical grade artifact, none of the five elders believed his words and asked him to stop joking. It was not their fault to think like that since the highest grade of the artifact they saw in their lives was a peak level heaven grade artifact. So none of them was able to believe his words. "Stop it fools," Tribe leader Qwerek became angry at his five Elders who were not believing Ajax''s words and quickly scolded them before turning to Ajax and said, "Thanks Ajax, now we know the true value of the coin. But can you help us to know what are its effects or any skill it has?" As soon as they heard their tribe leader''s scolding, all five of them became quiet and sat down in their seats. Qwerek didn''t doubt Ajax''s words and thanked him for saying it''s true value and he also asked Ajax to help them know its effects and skills. "Sure, Elder Qwerek," Ajax nodded his head and looked at the words that were slowly appearing on the screen in front of him. He waited for a few minutes for the words to appear on the holographic screen until then he acted as a professional appraiser and looked at the small purple coin in his hands keenly. ''I hope he finds something out of it,'' Qwerek thought in his head and watched Ajax without closing his eyes even once. After a few minutes, the holographic screen in front of Ajax was half-filled with some effects. "What?" Ajax was unable to believe the words on the screen as the effect of the coin was too overpowered and shouted out loud once again. Although only one effect was mentioned and another one was taking time to appear on the screen, Ajax was thrilled at the first effect as he read it. "What is it, Ajax," "Did you find out the effects of the coin?" "Is there any skill?" "Ajax, say something", All the five elders repeated one question after another when they saw how shocked Ajax was and wanted to know what he had found out about the coin. "Everyone calm down. Let him take his time first and then he will exin," Even though Qwerek was also curious about what Ajax had found out about it, he suppressed his curiosity and asked others to do the same as he knew that an appraiser should not be disturbed while they were evaluating an item; otherwise, they would receive a bacsh which could harm their cultivation. "Ok, tribe leader," Every elder agreed to Qwerek as they suppressed their curiosity but still, they wanted Ajax to tell them about the effect or skill of the Mythical grade artifact. "Huh?" Ajax only came to his senses when Qwerek calmed down all the five elders and looked at the elders and chuckled. But before exining the effect to them, Ajax wanted to check it once again to confirm the first effect of the artifact. ''It''s good, now I can say to them without worry,'' after checking it once again, he said to himself. "Elder Qwerek and all the elders of the Hawk tribe, listen carefully to my words. Now, I am going to say about one of the effects of the Mythical grade artifact called ''Void Breaker''," Ajax slowly announced his words. "Ajax, can you stop making such lengthy speeches which are making this old man''s heart rate increase," Qwerek requested Ajax to say about the effect quickly in an indirect way. "Sure, the effect is¡­.," Before Ajax could finish his words, he fell down on his soft chair all of a sudden. ******** Chapter 292: Qwereks thoughts

292 Qwerek''s thoughts

"What the heck?" Erek shouted at the unconscious Ajax as he was unable to take the anxiety about the coin''s effect. "What happened to him all of a sudden?" Eica asked with a suspicious look on her face. "The suspense is killing me," Kraiww and Krail said the same words at the same time. "Is he ying games with this old birdman," The hawk tribe leader, Qwerek also joined with the five elders and doubted Ajax''s all of a sudden unconsciousness. All five elders and one tribe leader didn''t move towards Ajax; instead, they were thinking Ajax was ying a prank on them. The reason they thought like this was they checked Ajax''s heath which was stable and there was no issue with his body or his cultivation. However, Ajax didn''t move his body for a few minutes and even started snoring making them irritated. "Hey kid, don''t y with us. Wake up and say the effect of the coin already," Erek couldn''t bear the snoring and came forward to wake Ajax up. If there was another member instead of Ajax, they would have pped them to death; instead of waking them like Ajax. If not for Ajax being their tribe''s benefactor, they would have already given Ajax a 100 punches; however, they controlled their anger and tried to wake him up. Even after trying for a while, Ajax didn''t wake up which made them raise their brows and they immediately rushed towards him. Qwerek, the oldest among all the birdmen present there, checked Ajax''s health condition by cing his hand on Ajax''s head before closing his eyes. Soon, he opened his eyes and nodded his head as though he understood something. "What happened, tribe leader?" "Is he okay?" " Tribe leader, just say that he is acting and then watch how I wake him up," Erek said, quite the opposite of what other elders were saying. Four elders asked worriedly about Ajax''s health whereas Erek asked differently but his face was also filled with concern and worry. "There is nothing to worry about. It''s just that his spirit consciousness barely has any essence of nature left in it. All he needs now is some rest," Qwerek said about Ajax''s condition to everyone. "Good," All the elders heaved a sigh of relief and nodded their heads after hearing Qwerek''s words. "But, what happened to his essence of nature?" Kraiww asked as he didn''t understand why Ajax''s spirit consciousness became empty all of sudden. "I think I have an answer for it," Qwerek replied to Kriaww before looking at all the other elders and exined, "Like every profession, Appraisers also need to use their essence of nature when they use their techniques for evaluating the items." "So, before he canpletely appraise the Mythical grade coin his spirit consciousness is exhausted; however, he still knows the effect of the artifact, right?" Erek voiced out his thoughts and looked at Ajax in a different light. ording to him, as long as Ajax wakes up, they could know one effect of their tribe''s Mythical grade artifact which might be a help for their tribe to rise even higher to other regions in the five elemental world. "Yes, he just needs to wake up," All the other elders nodded their heads in agreement. "Okay elders, now go back to your abodes. I will order someone to carry Ajax to his room," Qwerek shook his at the words of his tribe''s elders and aborted the gifting ceremony. "Okay tribe leader, but don''t forget to call us as soon as he wakes up," All the elders more or less said the same thing before leaving the Main Hall of the tribe leader''s house. ''I wonder how much essence of nature does his spirit consciousness holds,'' After everyone left, Qwerek thought as he was puzzled at Ajaxa''s spirit consciousness. Previously Qwerek forgot that appraising an item consumes the essence of nature of the appraiser for using his techniques in evaluating the item, so he was shocked at Ajax''s sudden unconscious state. However, after thinking about it carefully, he was puzzled at Ajax, who was only at a level 7 of themander realm was not only capable of finding out the name of a Mythical grade artifact but he was also able to appraise one of its effects. In general, an appraiser of themander realm strength could only appraise Heaven grade artifacts or below and an appraiser of the general realm strength could appraise a Legend grade artifact. However, Ajax was able to appraise a Mythical grade artifact with onlymander realm strength making Qwerek shocked about his spirit consciousness size. "What is his background actually? Which higher world did hee from? And what he wants from the Five elemental world that made hime twice?" Qwerek''s head was filled with a lot of questions as he thought about Ajax''s background. "I guess, I have to ask my questions to youter," Qwerek shook his head and carried Ajax by himself instead of ordering someone else to carry him. Qwerek ced Ajax in Ajax''s room before leaving for his room. On the bed, Ajax started snoring once again after Qwerek left and slept like a log without any worries. ...¡­. In the fire crow tribe, Inside a house that looked more majestic than the remaining houses, an old birdman with huge ck wings behind his back was sitting crossed in the main hall of the room. He was none other than the fire crow tribe''s tribe leader, Krico. In front of him, six birdmen with a mix of both old and middle-aged birdmen with simr huge ck wings behind their backs. However, the wings of these six birdmen had less red markings on them whenpared with the tribe leader. These six middle-aged and old birdmen were the elders of the fire crow tribe. "Tribe leader, we have to do something about the spirit beasts that are lurking in the outskirts of our tribe," one of the middle-aged birdmen said to Krico in a respectful tone. "Yes tribe leader, the number of spirit beasts are increasing with each passing day," Another elder supported the previous elder''s words. "Tribe leader, talk something. You are like this from the moment the three tribes contest was over. Can you do your role as the tribe leader?" The elder this time was an old birdman that had only a few features on his huge ck wings. ''Huh?'' when they heard the oldest birdman''s words, all the remaining elders were shocked and looked at him. "Hahaha, no one dared to talk to me like this for years and you made me think of something with your words just now," The tribe leader, who had closed his eyes till now opened his eyes when he heard the oldest elder''s words andughed as he talked. "Isn''t my right as the grand elder to ask the current tribe leader to do his job," the old fire crow elder said with a smile on his wrinkled face. ******** Chapter 293: The Masked Birdman

293 The Masked Birdman

"Right, I will take care of the spirit beasts when they dared to enter our tribe and now you can all go back to your houses," Krico didn''t say anything to the old fire crow birdman and asked everyone to leave his room. "You..," the old fire crow birdman was angry at Krico''s carelessness for the tribe''s safety; however, he doesn''t have sufficient strength nor support to go against Krico. So, he left with other elders without saying a word. Among the five other elders, two elders showed dissatisfaction towards Krico''s words whereas the other three didn''t care about anything as they left Krico''s house. The reason for their dissatisfaction was that it''s been a few months but their tribe leader was not taking care of their tribe and continuously thinking about something all the time. Even if he did that at a normal time, they wouldn''t mind anything; however, recently many spirit beasts were showing up at the surroundings of their tribe making all the tribesmen anxious. "Damn you, Grand elder. You are bing more and more rebellious at me. Just wait for some time and look at how I take care of you," After everyone left, Krico loudly cursed the previous elder, who dared to talk to him without any respect. Soon, he suppressed his anger and looked at the second entrance of his house. From it, a masked figure that had the same ck wings of a fire crow tribe member. "What is it this time?" When he saw the masked birdman, Krico raised his brows as he asked him. "The condition of Raweth''s brother became even more critical. What should I do with him?" The masked figure bowed in front of Krico as he said those words politely. "Huh? Leave it and let him die," Krico barely nced at the masked figure before standing up from his seat. "But..." "Are you worrying about Raweth''s returning?" Before the masked birdman could say something, Krico interjected him and asked with a mock on his face. "Yes, master. If hees back and finds out that we let his brother die will make your years of ns spoil, right?" The masked birdman respectfully said to Krico. "What is there to spoil anything. ns? They are all gone when Raweth missed for more than 2 months without a trace," Krico became enraged at the end of his sentence that made the masked figure shiver. "So, why don''t we directly kill Raweth''s brother and put him out of his misery?" The masked birdman asked about directly killing Raweth''s brother. "Huh? Raweth spoiled all my ns and now you want his brother to die without pain? Haha. Just follow the orders, ve," Krico said with a loudugh as he wanted Raweth''s brother to suffer. Although he wasughing, his face was fully filled with hatred towards Raweth who spoiled his many years of nning just by disappearing without a trace. "But...but...isn''t that a bit too cru¡­," When he heard Krico''s words, the masked birdman looked very angry that he wanted to kill Krico right there; but, all his family members swore to follow the orders of the tribe leader. "Okay, master," So, he nodded his head and turned around to leave the tribe leader''s house but he was stopped by Kricos pping. "Huh?" He turned around only to see Krico taking out a small ss vial from his space ring which made the masked birdman''s raised his brows as he concentrated on the vial. "Is it...is it what I think it is?" After suppressing his shock, the masked birdman asked Krico as though he knew what was inside the small ss vial. "Correct, it is the item what you think it is," Krico smiled as he walked towards the masked birdman and said, "Do you know the reason for Raweth''s brother''s sickness?" "I know. It is a sickness that came from his mother," the masked man said as he thought about it. "Wait a second. How did his mother get that sickness? Don''t tell me you are the one that used that liquid in your hand?" But, all of a sudden, the masked figure thought about something and asked Krico with seriousness in his eyes. "Stop looking like that. I hate it when people from the ve families look like that," Krico irritatedly said to the masked figure before keeping a hand on his shoulder. "And, as for the answer to your question, yes, it is me who mixed this liquid with the food Raweth''s mother was taking, hehe" Krico smiled as he answered the masked birdman''s question. "You...why did you do that? Raweth is a son like you and he likes you very much and wants to be like you. Then why did you do that kind of horrible thing to his mother and his little brother," Masked birdman asked Krico while gritting his teeth. "ve, aren''t you a curious little piece of shit?" Krico smiled as he scoffed at the masked birdman whose eyes turned red when he talked earlier. "But no problem. I will say why I did that kind of thing to his mother and brother," Krico looked at the masked birdman as he continued, "Since, I want to share this truth with some I know and understand me well." "Yes, I know you very well. I didn''t see a person like you before in my life. If I get any chance in the future I will kill you by myself," The masked birdman''s previous respect disappeared into thin air and started saying some words with full seriousness in his face. "I already told you to watch your tone when you are talking to me," Krico wanted the masked birdman once more before saying, "I reason I didn''t kill you for your impudence towards me because of our childhood friendship; otherwise, you would have died just like your father without a body." "Who are you calling a friend? I don''t have a friend like you who wants to kill anyone thates in his way. Anyway, I want to know why you did that kind of horrible thing to them?" The masked birdman quickly rejected Krico''s words but from his words, anyone could guess how close they were in their childhood. Nevertheless, the masked birdman''s eyes were blood-red at the moment and waited for an answer from Krico. The masked birdman''s father was the switch to his anger, so when Krico mentioned his father, his previously suppressed anger red up and he was unable to control it. But, still, he could not harm Krico as he swore upon his family''s name to protect the tribe leader. "Oh, my dear old friend and at the same time, my present ve, you want an answer from your master? Sure," Krico showed a cunning smile on his face as he carefully observed the masked birdman''s expression while saying, "Because, Raweth is my son." ******** Chapter 294: 15 Crows

294 15 Crows

"What?" As soon as the masked birdman heard those words, he was utterly shocked and at the same time, he was confused as he didn''t understand why Krico wanted to do such a horrible thing to his own wife. But before that, he also thought, why did Krico never mention his wife to other tribe members and kept her identity secret from everyone. "You must be wondering about why I didn''t mention it, right?" Krico slowly turned back as he said, "Because I didn''t see her as my wife and doesn''t want others to know about her." "Why is it?" The masked birdman asked as he was thinking back to the time when his friend was good and always wanted something to do to the tribe. However, at some point of time, he changed. He preferred his strength over the tribe''s future. If he could get a great strength he would not hesitate to destroy the whole tribe. "Haha," instead of replying to his question, Kricoughed as he waved his hand sealing the surroundings of his house with some kind of barrier. ''Looks like this matter is very important to him. He even sealed the surroundings to prevent others from listening to his words,'' the masked birdman thought in his mind as he waited for Krico to say the truth. As expected, as soon as the surroundings were sealed, Krico cleared his throat as he said, "It''s our tribe''s old priest who died a few years ago." "What? Why did he do that kind of thing? He did a lot for our tribe," Masked birdman was shocked to hear a great person he idolized from his childhood. The fire crow tribe''s power structure was somewhat different from other tribe''s power structure. For example, the Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe''s power structure was very simple with a tribe leader, five main elders and twelve guardians who would protect the tribe from the enemies. Whereas, the Fire Crow tribe''s power structure was a littleplex with one tribe leader, one grand elder, one priest, five elders, seven outer elders and fifteen crows who would lurk in the dark to protect the tribe and gather the important mission. All the fifteen crows should cover their faces with masks and should follow the orders of the tribe leader at any cost from the moment they enter the fifteen crows unit. And the masked birdman who was having a lengthy conversation was the leader of the fifteen crows and a childhood friend of Krico. When they were young the masked birdman''s father was the leader of the fifteen crows and he asked his father and other rtives to help Krico be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe. However, once Krico became the tribe leader, he started showing his different side and slowly managed to bribe the elders. Those who agreed to follow his orders willingly, became more and more powerful whereas the others who opposed him died mysteriously. What was even more depressing for the masked birdman was that he thought that his father''s death had something to do with Krico but there was no clear proof and there was nothing he could do to Krico which may endanger the lives of his family and friends. From then he started rising in his power to find out the truth behind his father''s death and became the captain of the fifteen crows from a normal fifteen crows unit member. "Yes, he is good and even in his death he thought about the death but I had to kill him with my own hands..sigh," Krico sighed as he looked at his own hands. The masked birdman came out of his thoughts about the past and jolted when he heard Krico''s words. "Damn you Krico, I want to kill you," The masked birdman didn''t hesitate any longer when he heard the priest was killed by Krico and disappeared from his position and appeared behind Krico. When the masked birdman was younger, the priest taught him many things and took care of him like a grandson, so when he heard that the priest, who was like a grandfather to him, was killed by Krico, he didn''t hesitate to kill the tribe leader, Krico. "Haha, finally I saw my hot-blooded childhood friend," Just when the dagger in the masked birdman''s hand was about to pierce through Krico, the dagger was blocked by Krico''s huge ck wings. After saying those words he casually swept away the masked birdman with his huge wings. "Why? Just why are you doing all these things?" The masked bird asked Krico while gritting his teeth. "I am already exining you; but, you are the one who keeps distracting me," Krico looked at the masked birdman who was on the floor and continued, "Let me exin the whole story until then keep listening." Krico nced at him and nodded his head in satisfaction and started the story. "Just after I became the tribe leader with you and your father''s help, the old priest came to the tribe leader''s house to have a talk with me. While we were discussing the tribe''s future, I asked the old priest to predict my future with his divine skill, hehe" Krico stopped for a while andughed making the masked birdman shocked. He was shocked because it was very dangerous to use the divine skill and every priest could only activate that skill once every ten years and that was also only to check the tribe''s future; however, when he heard Krico''s words, he was unable to believe that the priest used his divine skill for checking Krico''s future. "Haha, don''t be shocked. The reason he agreed was also because of you and your father, so he believed that I am the chosen one to lead the Fire crow tribe towards glory and checked my future that is only rted to the tribe and I was shocked by what he after using his divine skill," Krico''s face became serious all of a sudden as he exined. The masked birdman didn''t disturb him and waited for Krico to continue his story. "He said that I have to marry a tribeswoman who was an orphan and has the highest purity of our ancestor, the three-legged fire crow''s bloodline in her body but the matter of that marriage should not be known to anyone and should be concealed from everyone no matter what happens," Krico said with the same seriousness on his face. "Huh?" the masked birdman was puzzled as he stood up from the ground and asked, "What it has anything to do with the tribe''s glory?" He didn''t understand how a tribe could be glorious by marrying a woman. So, he asked Krico while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "After hearing those words, I asked the same thing. To that, he replied, ''The actually chosen one was not you but your first son who was born from her body, haha''. Once I heard his words, I felt something in my heartbreak," Krico said to the masked birdman in a sad tone. "What?" the masked birdman asked with a shock on his face as he looked at Krico. ******** Chapter 295: Truth

295 Truth

"Yes, he said that my first son will be the chosen one of the tribe but I didn''t like that since I wanted to be the chosen one of the tribe from my childhood which you know already," Krico said as he clenched his fists tightly. "Why? Isn''t your son bing a chosen one is not good?" The masked birdman was disgusted with Krico when he heard his words. Initially, the masked birdman only had hatred towards Krico but now, after hearing his words, he felt disgusted with Krico and ashamed to think that Krico was his childhood friend. ording to him, when a father hates the talents or was jealous about his own son, then that birdman was the worst kind and should be killed without mercy. "How is it a good thing? I will remain as the chosen one''s father whereas my son will be the hero and the chosen one of the tribe," Krico angrily said as he punched a pir in the main hall which had copsed even before his punch couldnd on it. "If you hate him that much, then why did you allocate all the tribe resources to him and you personally took care of him all these years and it would have been a wise decision not to follow the old priest''s word, right?" The masked birdman asked with the same disrespectful tone. "Haha, herees the interesting part. While I was frustrated about it and decided not to follow the old priest''s words, then I found a secret technique that could transfer all the strength and talent of one person to another. Then I decided to follow the old priest''s words and transfer the strength and talent of my son into me. So, I nurtured him and poured all my resources into him, haha," Kricoughed as he exined about his reason to nurture Raweth. "Damn you Krico, you have be a monster. A TRUE MONSTER," the masked birdman cursed Krico but soon he calmed down as he wanted to know more about it. "But that damn son of mine, disappeared without a trace," Krico didn''t mind the masked birdman''s cursing as he was busy cursing his own son. "By the way, we are off track from the main topic. The reason I mixed the special green liquid in my wife''s food was because of that damn old priest said that my second son will be the reason I will die. So, I tried to kill my wife even before my second was born," Krico proudly said as he did something great which made the masked birdman feel even more disgusted and wanted him to leave from the main hall. "Stop right there. Don''t you want to know why I killed you a grandfather-like old priest?" Krico chuckled as he stopped the masked birdman. Hearing those words, the leaving masked birdman stopped and turned back to look at Krico with an angry face. "Because he found out about my ns and tried to spread it to others, so the poor old priest died just like that, in my hands, hehe" Krico eerily smiled as he showed the gripping action with his hands. Even though he was very angry that he wanted to make Krico into pieces, he knew that he was far weaker than Krico and the most important thing was he had a family and friends that he didn''t want to harm. So he suppressed his anger and asked Krico. When he saw the calm masked birdman, Krico was surprised and rubbed his chin as he thought, ''Damn, why is he still calm?'' In his view, the masked birdman was a hot-blooded one and would do most things without thinking but just like him, he also changed in his behaviour making Krico surprise. "I wanted to share all these things with at least one person, and I selected you as that person," Krico replied and all of a sudden he was jolted by something and looked into a distance before saying to the masked birdman, "You can leave now and I hope you will not divulge the information I shared with you." Krico hurriedly said to the masked birdman to leave. However, the masked birdman felt something fishy when he looked at Krico''s actions and asked, "What should I do to your second son." He just asked that question to buy some time to observe the actions of Krico, so that he could find out what was happening with him. "Just stop supplying the medicines to him and he will die sooner anyway. So let him die just like that. If Rawethes back in the future, I will say that he died because the poison spread all over his body. Since he has a lot of respect towards me, he will believe me and then I will continue my ns with him. I hope hees back," Krico initial speed in his exnation increased by a lot as he hurriedly said and waved the masked birdman to leave the main hall. Krico knew that Raweth was still alive as he had Raweth''s life stone with him, so he decided to take the action of cutting off the medicinal supply to Raweth''s brother. The reason he didn''t kill Raweth''s brother who escaped death bying out of his mother''s womb just when the poison was about to take effect, was for the sake of Raweth. Raweth''s sole motivation to cultivate and be powerful came from his unhealthy brother. He wanted to be powerful to find a cure for his brother but what he didn''t know was there was no cure for it. Krico used that point for his benefit and decided to encourage him that he would find a cure if he entered the general realm within 20 years. For years, he suppressed his rage towards Raweth''s little brother but at the same time he enjoyed the suffering that Raweth''s brother was going through. However, just when he thought, all things were going ording to his ns, Raweth disappeared withoout a trace making him restless. So, he no longer waited and directly stopped the medicine supply to him which would increase his suffering for a few days before he died. "I hope you won''t regret the decision you took today," the masked birdman just said his final words as he left the main hall of the tribe leader''s house. ''I have to do something and make him pray for what he did to my father and the old priest,'' After leaving the tribe leader''s house, the masked birdman clenched his fists and swore to take revenge for all the things Krico had done one day. ''Also, I hope Raweth finds the truth about his father and what kind of things he did,'' He thought to himself as he continued thinking, ''I will help your brother supply the medicines secretly without that damned Krico''s knowledge. So, you better hurry ande save your little brother,'' The masked birdman sighed as he thought about Raweth''s little brother. After sighing for a while, he disappeared into thin air before looking at the tribe leader''s house which was covered by another soundproof barrier making him shake his head. Chapter 296: The Older birdmans plan

296 The Older birdman''s n

The reason he cared about Raweth''s return was he doesn''t want to see his little brother''s suffering and amidst his suffering, he would asionally say, ''Brother, where are you?'' Whenever he heard that pained voice, the masked birdman was unable to control his emotions; however, there was no cure for the poison in his body. And he didn''t care about the soundproof barrier that covered Krico''s house as he could guess that Krico was once again starting his nning about something. ... Inside Krico''s house, ''Where are you Raweth? Pleasee back soon, I have some great ns for you,'' Krico still believed that Raweth woulde back to the tribe as he was the chosen one. And when hees back, he could use his technique to transfer Raweth''s talent, bloodline and cultivation into his own body. "By the way, why the hell he wants to talk to me at a time like this," All of a sudden, Krico became irritated as he looked into a specific direction and took out a round te from his space ring. ''Damn old ve, if I don''t get anything useful from you this time, I will not make any more deals with you,'' As he muttered, Krico lightly tapped the te in his hands. As soon as he did that, the entire tribe shook for a while before stopping, making all the tribesmen puzzled for a moment before going back to their work. "What was that?" "I think it''s the fourth or fifth time, in this month," "Whatever, as long as my house stays strong, I don''t mind it," "Same here. Now let''s go to our works," All the tribe members were very simple and talked as though they were used to those earthquakes which would only appear for a second before disappearing. "Hehe, you seem like you are in a bad mood, what happened?" After the earthquake, the older birdman from the ancient ruins appeared behind Krico as he asked with an eerieugh on his old wrinkled face. "What do you want this time?" Krico was not happy to see the older birdman but he still asked him. "I sensed Raweth, hehe" The older birdman smilingly said as he walked towards Krico with his hands behind his back. "Really? Where did you sense him?" Krico''s previous anger disappeared into thin air as he asked the older birdman with an excited tone. "Looks like you change your mood quite quickly than I thought, hehe," The older birdman said with his usual eerie smile. "Stop joking with me and say where do you sense him?" Krico became angry as he asked him once again. "He is in the Lightning Dargon Hawk''s tribe and I only sensed him for a moment before I lost him. If my guess is correct, then the Hawk tribe is doing something with Raweth, so if you want toplete your ns, you need to hurry up and save him," the older birdman urged Krico to save Raweth from the hawk tribe. ''Damn you Krico, can''t you just attack the hawk tribe?'' the older birdman became angry in his heart but he suppressed it as he calmly said, "Okay then, I am going now. If he dies all your ns to be your fire crow tribe''s chosen one will be lost." The older man didn''t bother to ask Krico to attack the Hawk tribe; instead, he mentioned Krico''s ns and acted as if he was leaving the tribe leader''s house. "Stop. What should I do now?" When he heard that his ns would be spoiled, Krico didn''t hesitate to ask for advice from the older birdman. ''Hehe, this is what I want, my foolish little crow,'' the older birdman thought inside his heart; however, he showed a small smile on his face as he said to Krico, "Attack the Hawk tribe and I will save your tribe from the spirit beasts which surrounded your fire chrome tribe." The older birdman revealed a cunning smile as he looked at the pondering Krico. "I don''t need you to save my tribe; however, promise me that you will help me secure Raweth from the Hawk tribe whereas I will distract the Hawk tribe''s leader, Qwerek," Krico thought for a moment and nned something and asked the older birdman to just help him save Raweth from the Hawk tribe. Krico knew that the older birdman could not harm or kill any of the three tribe members, so he just asked him the job of rescuing whereas he would do some action. "Okay, then what about your tribe?" The older birdman asked a question which he already knew the answer to. "Tribe? It will be protected by others. Even if I asked them toe with me, no one would leave the tribe. So, it''s better for me to go solo and challenge Qwerek for a one-on-one fight with him," Krico scoffed at his tribe''s elders and continued, "While I was at it, you do your job and rescue Raweth. I want him to be in perfect health. Do you understand?" Krico already decided to challenge Qwerek a long time ago =, so he immediately applied that chance for his own use. "By the way, why are you so eager to say about Raweth''s presence in the five elemental world," Krico puzzled at the older birdman''s eagerness and noticed something was wrong as he wanted to ask for some time to n the Raweth''s rescue operation. "I want a powerful tribe leader from one of the three tribes and among the three tribe leaders, you are the only one who has sufficient strength and wits. Once you be a powerful tribe leader, I have a request to ask from you. So, I hope you will help me at that time," The older birdman said with a sad tone as he ended his reason for his eagerness. As soon as Krico heard those words, he was over cloud nine and smiled inside his heart and felt proud of his strength as he nodded his head at the older birdman. However, inside his heart, Krico thought, ''Damn you old ve, once I have sufficient skill, I will make you my personal ve. Then I will see how you will manage to keep fires between tribes.'' Every tribe leader knows some cruel facts about the older birdman who managed to sessfully create frictions between the three tribes and made each tribe member kill another tribe member. So, he wanted to make the older birdman suffer in the future for his past deeds which made him lose some of his loyal followers. ''I know what you are thinking, little fire crow leader. But, you still don''t know about mepletely. Do you really think you are the powerful tribe leader? Even if you fight the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe''s tribe leader, you won''t win against her much less you wanted to fight the Lighting Dragon Hawk tribe''s tribe leader, Qwerek, hehe'' the older birdman who lived for many centuries knew the exact thoughts in Krico''s mind but he shook his head at Krico''s ignorance. ******** Chapter 297: Spirit beast horde

297 Spirit beast horde

"Let''s go now," The older birdman urged Krico to challenge Qwerek right away. "Why are you forcing me? Let me make my preparations first," Looking at the urging Older birdman, Krico angrily said before leaving for his room to make preparations for his challenge with Qwerek. ''Damn you, I will just watch how you will die in the hands of that little hawk tribe leader,'' Even though he was angry, the older birdman suppressed his anger and coldlyughed inside his heart thinking about the future of Krico. ...¡­ Inside Ajax''s room, ''Snore'' On afortable bed, Ajax was sleeping without a care in the world along with his loud snoring. ''Ding, Mission alert ''Ding, Mission alert . . . All of a sudden, the system gave continuous notifications about the Mission alert which made him wake up hurriedly as he looked at his surroundings. Only when he saw that he was in a room that was allocated to him by Qwerek, then he heaved a sigh of relief. "What a weird dream?" After rubbing his eyes, Ajax thought to himself about some dream. Soon, he calmed himself and tried to recall the dream which was weird and he could only remember the vague outline of it; however, he was unable to recall the dream. ''Nevermind, I should go to Fire crow''s tribe and save Raweth''s little brother, then I can leave from this alluring yet deadly five elemental world quickly,'' Ajax thought in his head and went to shower. From the moment he entered the five elemental world this time, he was having an ominous feeling that something was about to happen here soon. So, he wanted to leave this world as soon as possible. Soon, he came out of his shower and wearing a new set of clothes and sat on the bed. ''Why is my spirit consciousness became empty all of a sudden?'' After having a shower, Ajax felt refreshed and thought about the reason behind him falling unconscious. Thanks to Elder boron''s stories, Ajax knew that appraisers need to use their essence of nature to evaluate the items of unknown identity. So, he was not worried about exining why he fell unconscious when evaluating the small purple coin in front of them. However, Ajax knew that was not an actual reason his spirit consciousness became empty as he doesn''t need any essence of nature to evaluate the items since the system will take care of it. Nevertheless, he lost his essence of nature in his spirit consciousness that made him puzzled and began to think back to the feeling when he was holding the small coin in his hand. When he thought back to the feeling before he became unconscious and slowly remembered the entire events of what happened to him when he was evaluating the small coin and nodded his head. ''I guess, I should not randomly check the effects of high-level artifacts in the future,'' Ajax felt lucky as he was able to find out one of the drawbacks of evaluating the high-level artifacts. ''By the?way, why can I sense the small coin from here?'' Ajax felt weird as he thought about the small coin earlier, he was able to guess it''s rough location. "Whatever, as long as it doesn''t absorb more of my essence of nature it will be good," Ajax thought in his head as he walked out of his room to meet Qwerek?and say his thoughts about going to the fire crow tribe. Sensing the small coin''s presence, Ajax walked towards Qwerek who just came out of his room in a hurry. "What happened, Elder Qwerek?" Ajax asked when he saw the hurried Qwerek. "Huh?" Qwerek stopped and turned to look at Ajax and asked, "You wake up sooner than I thought. Come with me." Tribe leader Qwerek didn''t give Ajax any time as he hurriedly walked out of the house. Without talking, Ajax simply followed Qwerek out of the tribe leader''s house. ''Roar'' ''Hrrr'''' As soon as he came out, he saw many spirit beasts of different kinds attack the Hawk tribe as they roared. "What is happening? Where did this many spirit beastse from?" Ajax was shocked to see that many spirit beasts at one ce. There were thousands of spirit beasts that wereing from the distance which made him puzzle as to how could that many spirit beasts attack at one once. ''There must be someone that was controlling all these spirit beasts,'' Not only Ajax, anyone in that ce could say that someone was controlling since it was impossible for that many spirit beasts to attack a single tribe unanimously. "All women and childrene and hide in the tribe leader''s house. It will protect you," "All women and childrene and hide in the tribe leader''s house," Kraiww and Krail shouted as they rescued the children and women while asking them to go and hide in the tribe leader''s house. "All of you, go inside the house and hide. This tribe leader and elders will kill those spirit beasts," Qwerek also loudly shouted, waking up the dazed bird-women and children from their shocks and waving them to go inside his house. When they heard their tribe leader''s words, they immediately ran into the tribe leader''s house without any hesitation as they have more belief in Qwerek and any other elders. Ajax was not concentrating on the tribesmen or the spirit bears, he was looking at some powerful hawk tribe, old birdmen and middle-aged men that had the strength of general realm to the level 5 of the elite general realm. "Who are they? They looked very powerful," Ajax unconsciously spoke out as he looked at the fearless Hawk birdmen. "Huh?" Qwerek heard Ajax''s words and followed his gaze and looked at the powerful birdman that were fearlessly fighting the spirit beasts and smiled, "They are the 12 Hawk guardians of our tribe." "Hawk guardians? 12 of them?" Ajax found the title of those birdmen suited them very well as they were taking care of many spirit beasts on their own. "But, why didn''t theye out when we went to the ancient ruinsst time?" Ajax nodded at Qwerek''s words and asked his doubt. "Haha, they will not leave the tribe and show themselves at normal times and their only job is to protect the tribe from danger. They will die fighting for the tribe without any regrets," Qwerek rified Ajax''s doubt and observed the surrounding of the tribe for any rank 6 spirit beast. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head as he understood about the 12 hawk guardians and decided to help them. However, before he moved his foot, Ajax got a system notification. ''Ding, A new system notification is generated in the quest tab; please check it. ''Herees the tribe rescuing mission,'' Seeing the system notification in front of him, Ajax was able to guess the mission and immediately checked the quest tab. "What?" However, when he saw the mission he felt something was wrong with the system. ******** Chapter 298: An Unusual Mission

298 An Unusual Mission

Ajax thought that he guessed the newly generated mission correctly but when he saw the mission information in the quest tab, he pinched himself to know whether it was real or a dream. ''When did the system be this cruel?'' Ajax thought in his head about the system when he sensed the pain from his pinch and once again checked the mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Don''t get into unnecessary trouble Danger rating:- None Reward:-?an energy orb (that contains the energy to help the host to break through two minor realms). Description:- The hawk tribe already owes the host a great amount of favour, so there is no need to trouble yourself to help them anymore since they have their own strength and the system suggests the host concentrate on the main thing that the host hase to the five elemental world. Penalty for helping:- The host will lose two minor realms of cultivation from his strength. ''What the heck wrong with the system today?'' Ajax worried about the system that was behaving a little cruel today as he carefully read the information of the mission. In the past, whenever, Ajax decided to do something, the system used to generate a mission in his favour; however, this time the system asked me to do nothing and he would get a free reward. ''But...But I,'' "Ajax, you also go inside and take a rest. We will take care of these spirit beasts and talk." Before he couldplete his thinking, he heard Elder Qwerek''s voice that told him to go inside the tribe leader''s house. Although he knew that Ajax could help them with his averagemander realm strength in killing the spirit beasts, he didn''t want Ajax to help them. The reason for that was his tribe already owed a great favour and he didn''t want to ask Ajax to help him as he was embarrassed to ask another favour from Ajax. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at Qwerek''s voice and didn''t know what to say to him since he already knew what Elder Qwerek was feeling inside his heart. ''He must be thinking that they owed me too much already and decided not to ask any help from me,'' Ajax thought to himself, looking at the fighting that was going outside. From the fight up to now, the Hawk tribe was in the advantageous position but he knew it would notst much longer looking at the spirit beast horde from a distance. "I already rested enough, Elder Qwerek and I want to test my strength. So, I will fight no matter who you think," Ajax shook his head and tly rejected Qwerek''s idea. "But, we¡­." "I know what you think. But, let me clear you a thing first. This time I am only fighting for myself and it doesn''t have anything to do with the tribe," Ajax concluded his words in a face full of seriousness making Qwerek''s heart smile. "Sure," Although Ajax agreed to Qwerek''s words, he had ns for high-level spirit beasts. With his current strength, he could easily take care of the peak rank 4 spirit beasts and could evenpete against rank 5 spirit beasts. However, Qwerek didn''t know Ajax ns as he flew in a specific direction all of a sudden when he sensed something, leaving behind Ajax at the entrance of the tribe leader''s house. "Now, let me fill my essence of nature and improve my dao''s," Ajax muttered in a low voice as he focused on a group of low-level rank 4 spirit beasts as his appetizer. Previously, when he tried to appraise the mythical grade artifact, all his essence of nature was absorbed by that artifact making his spirit consciousness empty and now, he wanted to fill it once again. Along with it, he could use the rank 4 spirit beasts to improve his dao in a respective weapon. Among the current spirit beasts that were present in the tribe, the highest level of the spirit beast was only level 5 and even those spirit beasts could be counted on a single hand and they were fighting the Hawk guardians and the fight was still in the advantage for the Hawk tribe. So, Ajax decided to save his strength forter when the thousands of spirit beasts in the horde reaches the tribe. He took out the Bloodlust spear out of his spirit consciousness and without using the spear dao, he casually pierced the spear into the spirit beasts to gainprehension in his spear dao. Although his attacks were not fatal for the rank 4 spirit beasts without using the spear dao, it helped him to understand new things about the spear which made him ted. Time continued to pass as Ajax used his bloodlust spear to continuously kill the spirit beasts in a multiple strikes. At times, the five elders and 12 Hawk guardians also noticed Ajax''s cool fighting style which looked very simple to their eyes but they know that Ajax was trying to create a new spear move for his fighting style. "That brat is good," "If we have one brat like that in our tribe, we will sure prosper for generations," "Okay, stop praising him and continue the fight," All the Hawk guardians discussed Ajax''s rxed fighting with a couple of spirit beasts that have higher strength than his cultivation which made them praise him. However, they were scolded by the 12 Hawk guardians captain for their cking in the middle of the fight. After scolding them, he nced at Ajax for a moment before continuing his fight. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' ''Phi'' ''Ding, The host killed a rank 4 spirit beast The host gained 200 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, . .. ¡­ ¡­. With every strike, Ajax was making a hole in the spirit beast''s body and along with the strikes, he got his usual essence bonus from killing the spirit beasts. However, one thing, Ajax didn''t understand that the essence of nature he was getting from killing the rank 4 spirit beasts was way less than the spirit beasts he killed in his world. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''System, help me clear my doubt,'' Ajax didn''t stop his spear strikes even when he asked the system about an answer for his question. ''Ding, Since the host''s strength is equal to the opponent''s strength, the essence of nature gained from killing them would be less. So, if the host wants more essence of nature, please kill the enemies that have higher strength than the host. ''Huh? So, it''s like this. No problem,'' Nowadays, Ajax was not worrying about the essence of nature much as he had fewer uses of it; however, it motivated him to kill higher realm opponents. When he first started his cultivation journey, he had to use the essence of nature for every little thing like upgrading his cultivation, skills, techniques, elemental spirits etc. However, after breakthrough, he could not use that method to upgrade his cultivation and all his cultivation techniques required more essence of nature than his current spirit consciousness capacity. So, he didn''t bother with it much. ''What''s happening?'' As he was thinking about the essence of nature, he suddenly felt something in his spirit consciousness that made him shocked. ******** Chapter 299: Penalty

299 Penalty

''Aarrgh'' Before he could know what was happening inside his spirit consciousness, he fell onto the ground while screaming with a pained voice. "What happened to him?" one of five elders who was observing Ajax from time to time asked the Kriaww. "Was he attacked by the spirit beasts?" Before Kriaww could give any reply to that Elder, there was another question from Eica "No, looked there were no spirit beasts around him. He killed all of them," Shaking his head, he pointed his finger at Ajax''s surroundings, Kraiww said as he rushed and other elders rushed towards him. Before Ajax could fall onto the ground he killed all the spirit beasts around him, so all elders heaved a sigh. But still, they rushed towards their tribe''s benefactor. "I request that only one of the elders leave the fight," Before they could even travel a small distance towards Ajax, they were stopped by the captain of the Hawk guardians. When they heard the Captain of the Hawk guardians'' words, they realized that they were in the middle of a fight and stopped in their tracks all of a sudden. "Kraiww, go and check Ajax''s condition," Cretual agreed with the Captain''s words and asked Kraiww to check on Ajax as he was the closest one among all the five elders to Ajax. All the elders agreed with Cretual, the first elder''s words and nodded before returning?to their battle with the spirit beasts. "Okay, you just concentrate on the fight, I will take care of our benefactor," Kraiww nodded his head and rushed towards Ajax and checked that Ajax''s health doesn''t have any problem which made him heave a sigh of relief. He put a healing pill in Ajax''s mouth before carrying him towards the tribe leader''s house for giving him to the tribe''s physician. ''Aargh'' As Kraiww was carrying Ajax, he was still feeling the pain but it was much less than the pain that made him fall onto the ground earlier. ''What is happening to my spirit consciousness,'' Ajax kept on muttering as he checked his spirit consciousness. ''What the heck? Why did it decrease?'' Ajax was shocked to see that his spirit consciousness size was decreased by the small size. Although the decrease in size was small, it was still his spirit consciousness. So, Ajax felt shocked as it was impossible for a thing like this to happen. ''Is it because of the penalty from the new mission?'' Soon, Ajax was able to rte to the shrinking of his spirit consciousness with the newly generated system mission. Just as he rted it, he got a new system notification in his head. ''Ding, Correct, the host received a penalty for opposing the system mission. ''Ding, For now, the host''s cultivation is sealed by two minor realms and it can only be regained by using the energy orbs that were gained bypleting the system mission. ''Ding, The system suggests the host not to oppose the system''s future missions. ''Ding, Other penalties will be even more cruel. To Ajax''s reply, the system sent a couple of notifications advising Ajax not to do the same thing he did earlier. ''Whatever, I will do those missions if only I liked. Even if the mission difficulty is high, I don''t mind as long as I feel them right,'' Ajax shook his head, disagreeing with the system. Ajax felt that he needed to help the Hawk tribe members from the spirit beasts mad killing as he suffered the same thing back in the Silver Orphanage. ording to him, if some powerful cultivator helped him back then he would be with his friends and other countless children in the Silver Orphanage would have been alive. Although they might be suffering in their life after joining the military or bing normal people, they would have at least been alive instead of dying in the hands of the cruel assassins who didn''t bat an eye in killing the poor children. From then he decided that he would help whoever required his help, even if it was a small help he would dly do it without hesitation. And, from the beginning all the system missions hepleted were not against his principles, so he was happy toplete them and take rewards from the system. However, now the system suddenly gave a mission against his principles, so he felt he needed to rify a thing with the system. "Elder Kraiww, I am alright now. Can you please put me down?" Ajax felt weird when he opened his eyes and looked at Kraiww who was carrying him in his hand with a face full of worry. However, he felt warm that he was able to gain some real friends and family in the Five elemental world. "Huh?" Elder Kraiww stopped all of sudden and without putting Ajax down, he asked, "Ajax, are you alright?" "Yes yes, I ampletely fine. Can you please put me down," Ajax once again asked Elder Kraiww to put him down. "Oh. Okay okay," Kraiww saw the embarrassment on Ajax''s face and quickly put him down and asked, "What happened to you back there, Ajax." Kriaww was unable to find the reason behind Ajax''s painful noises, so he asked Ajax about his problem. "Huh?" Ajax found it hard to exin, so he simply said, "I was tired from yesterday''s appraisal." Ajax was lucky that he was able to dodge Kraiww''s question by mentioning about yesterday''s event which made Kraiww didn''t doubt his words. "Then take some rest, Ajax," Kraiww nodded his head and turned to go back to the fight. However, he suddenly stopped as though he remembered something and asked Ajax, "Ajax, if you don''t mind, can you please say the effect of the small coin you managed to find out yesterday." While asking about it, Kraiww''s face looked somewhat embarrassed and at the same time, it was filled with curiosity. It was not Kriaww''s fault because that small coin was their tribe''s mythical grade artifact and how he was not curious about its effect which might change the future of their tribe. Even the tribe leader, Qwerek was also barely able to withhold his curiosity towards the effect of the small coin. In fact, earlier Qwerek was about to ask Ajax regarding the small coin''s effect; however, just as Qwerek was about to ask him, he sensed something in the distance and hurriedly flew away even before asking about it. Back to the present, when Ajax heard Kraiww''s words and looked at his face, he was unable to without hisughter but still, he was barely able to withhold and didn''t waste any time as he decided to reveal the effect of the small coin to Elder Kraiww. "The effect of the small coin is¡­.. " "Old Qwerek, I challenge you to a duel now. If you are a real birdmane and face me now," Before he could finish his sentence, Ajax heard a loud voice resounded in the Hawk tribe making him stop his words. Chapter 300: Death duel

300 Death duel

As soon as the words resounded in the Hawk tribe, all the elders, hawk guardians,?Ajax and some strong hawk tribe members who were fighting the spirit beasts looked at the direction of the words. "Who is he, Elder Qwerek?" Ajax asked Kraiww as he pointed a familiar yet unable to remember silhouette in the distance. "Huh?" Elder Kraiww was shocked by the voice earlier and only came out of his shock with Ajax''s words and said, "He is the fire crow tribe''s leader Krico." "Oh," Ajax was shocked by the appearance of Krico as he waspletely changed from thest time he saw him in the ancient ruins. ''He changed a lot in his appearance,'' Ajax thought in his head and wondered, ''Should I summon Raweth out to meet his fire crow tribe''s leader?'' However, he soon shook his head and decided not to summon Raweth out. The reason for his hesitation was if the Fire crow tribe''s leader found out that I formed a contract with his genius tribe member, then he would not be happy. ''I guess, I need to use the invisible cloak to enter the fire crow tribe or should ask Raweth to find a way to enter into his tribe without others finding out about them,'' Ajax nned his entry into the fire crow tribe in his head as he looked at Krico. Krico, in his ck robe with a red border, was flying in the air and looking down at the Hawk tribe with an evil gaze making the low-level tribe members shiver at his gaze. "Old Krico, we will duel after I take care of these spirit beasts. Now get back to your tribe," As soon as Krico''s voice ended, Qwerek flew into the sky and stood face to face with Krico and domineeringly asked Krico to go back to his tribe. "Haha, you forget that I have the right to challenge you whenever I want. So, I want to challenge you right now," Initially, when he heard Qwerek''s domineering words, Krico felt something about Qwerek had changed from the time hest met Qwerek in the ancient ruins. However, when he remembered who was supporting him, Krico''s fear had disappeared as he continued acting arrogantly. Also, the meaning behind his words was that Qwerek allowed him to challenge whenever Krico wanted to battle him and Krico made Qwerek swear on his tribe and its ancestors in the past when Qwerek needed something from Krico. So, Krico said he had the right to challenge Qwerek at any time he wanted to battle. "You fool. I heard your tribe was also under the attack of the spirit beast horde. What are you doing at a time like this? Go back and protect your tribe," Qwerek was irritated at the foolish behaviour of Krico and felt something was wrong with Krico today. Even though they were enemies, Qwerek knew that Krico was not bold enough to challenge him for a duel without a reason and hurriedly used his wits to find out the reason behind Krico''s appearance at his tribe. "What tribe?" Krico scoffed at Qwerek when he mentioned the fire crow''s tribe and paused for a while as though he was waiting for something. At the same time, Ajax formted a brilliant n that allowed Raweth to hear his tribe leader''s words. Ajax''s n was very simple. ording to Krico''s words, Ajax was able to guess that he didn''t value his own tribe much. So he wanted Raweth to know the true face of his tribe''s leader. "If I defeat you, then it''s worth celebrating, so who cares about the tribe," Krico smirked as he said his priority to Qwerek. Krico wanted Qwerek to agree to the duel with him so that the older birdman would rescue Raweth from the Hawk tribe. For that reason, he said those words, so that Qwerek would agree to the duel with him. From the moment he learned that he was not a chosen one of the fire crow tribe, he stopped caring about the tribe and decided to focus solely on his strength. Although he no longer cared about the tribe, he didn''t want his tribe to be destroyed, so he wanted to quickly fight Qwerek for sometime before escaping from the Hawk tribe with Raweth. "Krico, you have gone mad. Do you understand what you are talking about?" Qwerek was enraged when he heard Krico''s words and was unable to control his anger as he shouted at Krico for his foolishness. "Qwerek, are you going back on your word now? If so, then just say it out loud," Krico smirked as he stressed his words on the promise. "Youuu," when he heard Krico''s words and along with his smirk, Qwerek was unable to control his anger any longer and said, "I ept the death duel. Only one of us should live." After saying that Qwerek didn''t waste any time as he rushed at Krico at his passive lightning speed and instantly appeared in front of Krico before using his Lightning punch. ''Punch'' As soon as the punchnded on Krico''s abdomen, he was sted into the earth and a huge mushroom smoke appeared at the ce where he was crushed into the ground. ''What the fuck! Elder Qwerek''s speed and power are stronger than I expected. Looks like Snow still has a long way to reach that speed,'' Ajax muttered to himself as he recalled Qwerek speed which even he was unable to see him until he appeared in front of Krico. Also, hepared the Elder Qwerek''s speed with Snow''s passive skill ''lightning speed'' and thought that Snow still had a lot to learn and improve her skills. ''I wonder, is he alive or dead?'' Ajax looked at the ground where Krico was mmed and thought. ''By the way, how Raweth is doing?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about Raweth and looked into the inner world. He didn''t look at anything and directly gazed at Raweth. Raweth''s whole body was ring up and becamepletely red as though there was no skin on his body. The wings tattoo on his back also materialized and their size was almost double than the previous time. ''What is happening?'' Ajax was puzzled at Raweth''s anger and walked towards him in his spirit consciousness form. Although Ajax knew the reason behind Raweth''s anger, he didn''t understand why he was that much angrier and decided to calm him. "Why are you behaving like this? Didn''t you say tribees first and everything next? Where is that passion towards the tribe?" When Ajax went near to him, Ajax heard many questions from Raweth which seemed to be asking Krico. Ajax stopped for a moment and shook his head before walking towards Raweth. When he was less than 2 meters from Raweth, Ajax felt a heatwave from Raweth that was very hot and Ajax stopped there itself as he didn''t want to risk burning in that mes. "Raweth, what is your little brother''s name?" Ajax loudly asked waking Raweth from his dazed thoughts. ******** Chapter 301: Fire Smoke

301 Fire Smoke

As soon as he heard Ajax''s question, Raweth who was very angry calmed down all of a sudden. Just remembering about his little brother made him clear his thoughts and what he wanted to do next. "His name is Rawin," Raweth smiled brightly when he said his little brother''s name. "Good name. Just remember that you have a little brother to save who was waiting for you," Ajax nodded his head and asked Raweth to remember his little brother whenever he was angry. "Okay young master," Raweth nodded his head and suppressed his anger towards the tribe and said to Ajax, "But, we have to save the tribe from the spirit beasts." Once he heard that his tribe was in danger, Raweth felt he had to do something to protect it. So, he requested Ajax to help his tribe. While requesting Ajax, Raweth asked with a respectful tone. He knew that Ajax was already helping him to save his little brother and thought asking another favour would be a little too much. Nevertheless, he requested Ajax to help his tribe without hesitation. "Don''t worry, I will try my best," Ajax replied to Raweth''s request before saying, ''However, if worstes to worst, we will save only your little brother and one more thing, you will follow my orders without hesitation when we are in your tribe.'' Ajax put some conditions on Raweth, which he agreed instantly. The first priority for him was to save his little brother and then tribe, so there was no hesitation and he was already Ajax''s contract spirit beast, then he had no qualms about following Ajax''s orders. "Good, I will summon you out when we leave the Hawk tribe," Ajax was satisfied with Raweth''s quick understanding of his words and left the inner world. "Ajax, you go inside the tribe leader''s house," As soon as his spirit consciousness came out of his inner world, he heard Kriaww''s worried words that made Ajax puzzle. He immediately looked at the area where Krico was smashed into the ground earlier and was shocked to see that Krico stood up from the ground as though nothing had happened to him. He also noticed that Krico was making some mysterious symbols with his hands and didn''t understand a thing. However, one thing was for sure that Krico was doing something. "But, why¡­." "We don''t have time for talking," Before Ajax could finish his words, Kraiww hurried and dragged Ajax into the tribe leader''s house. Ajax didn''t understand what made Kraiww that worried but still he followed without any hesitation and thought, ''Maybe because of Krico''s mysterious hand symbols.'' Ajax guessed that Kraiww''s worry had something to with Krico''s mysterious hand symbols. ''Uff'' Only when they entered the tribe leader''s house, Kriaww heaved a sigh of relief and looked outside through the window. Ajax also took a peek through the window. As soon as someone inhaled that gas, they fell to the ground within seconds making Ajax see the real power of the fire crow tribe''s leader. "What is that smoke which is making all those who inhaled unconscious," Ajax asked Kraiww since Kraiww already noticed the attack even before Krico released that smoke, Ajax thought that Kraiww must know about it. So, he asked to know about Krico''s smoke attack. "It is one of his special skills called Fire smoke," Kraiww worriedly looked at his brother and other tribe members as he continued, "Although it won''t harm them, it will make them unconscious for an entire day." "Huh? For the whole day?" Ajax felt that was a good skill to have from him; however, if that skill was with his opponent then it''s not good for him. "By the way, why is that smoke not entering the tribe leader''s house?" Ajax asked as he looked outside. Although, he thought that the skill was good when he saw that it doesn''t have any effect on the general and elite general realm cultivators he lost interest in that skill as he asked about the tribe leader''s house''s specialty. "It is covered by various arrays by the tribe leader which protects us from various types of attacks. So, that is the reason we asked everyone to hide in the tribe leader''s house," Kraiww exined about the tribe leader''s house and it''s specialty. "Also, don''t underestimate that ''Fire smoke'' skill. I will even put an elite general realm cultivator to sleep if they are not focused even for a second," Kraiww saw the look on Ajax''s face as he continued his exnation about ''Fire smoke'' "But, it is not affecting even elitemander realm cultivators," Ajax pointed at some elite birdmen that were fighting the spirit beasts earlier and asked. "Because they were protected by the Hawk guardians'' captain''s special skill cover. Not only them, but even the elders were also protected by him. Look there," While saying that, Kraiww pointed his finger at the oldest birdman who was wearing a white robe with a golden border. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the captain of the Hawk guardians and then carefully observed that a?barrier covered all the elders, hawk guardians and some of the elite birdmen with him as the radius. "Cool," Ajax was surprised to find a perfect counter skill for ''Fire smoke'' and eximed. "Now, you stay here, I will go and help them," Kraiww didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he took out an artifact that looked like a face mask and rushed towards his brother Krail and gave him a simr type of mask he was wearing. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at Kraiww''s actions but soon shook his head as he understood that he cared for his little brother, Krail just like Raweth cared for his little brother, Rawin. Just as he shook his head, Ajax noticed that the spirit beasts that fell down due to the fire smoke stood up and started their attack on the few remaining elite hawk tribesmen. "What the hell!" Ajax immediately looked at Krico, who was pointing at the unconscious spirit beasts. As soon as he pointed at a particr spirit beast, it would stand up and continue its previous onught. But that didn''t continue longer, as Qwerek once again appeared in front of Krico with his lightning speed and caught his finger. To Ajax''s surprise, the eerilyughing Krico showed a panic on his face when Qwereek caught his finger. Before he could retract his hand, Krico''s finger waspletely crushed by Qwerek''s simple clutching action. ''Aarghhh'' Krico screamed with a painful voice that made all the spirit beasts that were busy attacking the Hawk tribe houses and the few tribe members looked at Krico for a second before continuing their destruction. After crushing Krico''s finger, Qwerek didn''t bother about him as he rushed towards a spirit beast that was about to kill an unconscious tribe member. He immediately killed that spirit beast and picked up the unconscious tribe member and continued his action of saving all the other unconscious tribe members. ''Just a few more minutes, I can make my appearance in front of you dumb little birds, hehe,'' In a distance, the older birdman looked at the ongoing fight in the Hawk tribe andughed with his usual eerieugh. ******** Chapter 302: Three rank Chapter 6: spirit beasts

The older birdman looked happy while watching the fight between Krico and Qwerek and at the same time, he also enjoyed the spirit beasts destroying the Hawk tribe. ''Hehe, I wonder how he would feel when he knows that I destroyed his tribe,'' the older birdman continuously thought about the destruction of the Hawk tribe. The older birdman''s strength was sealed by the Lightning Dragon Hawk emperor along with the other two great birdmen from Fire crow and Netherworld ice sparrow tribe. So, the older birdman swore that he would destroy these three tribes at any cost; however, he could not directly attack any of the tribe members because of the sealing conditions that were ced by the three legends. So, he constantly tried to find the loopholes in the sealing conditions and finally found some of them. And, among them, only two looked feasible. However, one of them was destroyed by Ajax by taking away the three participants of the three tribes contest which cost the older birdman a lot. So, he carefully nned the second loophole of the sealing conditions this time and to his surprise, his old enemy, Ajax once again appeared in the five elemental world making him even more happy. ''I will see how you will teleport this time,'' The older birdman still remembered that Ajax could teleport, so that to seal the area when he encountered Ajax. ''After the Hawk tribe, the Fire crow tribe will soon fall without me doing anything. As for the Netherworld sparrow tribe, it is a piece of cake to destroy,'' The older birdman was feeling very excited as his 1000 years n was finally bing true very soon. ... As the older birdman was thinking about his future ns, Qwerek saved all the unconscious birdmen and carried them into the tribe leader''s house. "Ajax, are you alright?" After cing them down, Qwerek asked Ajax who was watching the fight between the elders and the spirit beasts. "I am good, Elder Qwerek,"?Ajax nodded his head with a smile. "Good. Stay here and don''te out," just like Kraiww, Qwerek also didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply and hurriedly rushed outside to kill as many spirit beasts as possible before going in front of Krico. Qwerek with his powerful skills, killed hundreds of spirit beasts within a few seconds to reduce the pressure on the five elders and the 12 Hawk guardians before resuming his fight with Krico. "Damn you old Qwerek, I am going to kill you now, aarrrggh" As soon as he saw Qwerek appear in front of him, Krico endured his pain from his crushed finger and loudly yelled at Qwerek. "Sure. You are the one that asked the duel. So let''s have the death duel," Qwerek nodded his head at Krico''''s angry words. "Huh?" When he heard Qwerek''s words, Krico raised his brows as he looked at Qwerek''s smiling face and felt something was wrong with him. Simrly, a small light dot entered Krico''s body from Qwerek''s body. Ajax, who was entirely focused on Qwerek, looked at the small light dot that entered each other''s body and soon a system notification came. ''Ding, A life and death contract is initiated between Qwerek and Krico. ''Ding, Only the winner of the duel will remain alive as for the loser, he will die. "What?" Although Ajax knew about the life and death duel, he didn''t know that before they start a death duel they have to sign a contract. "But, I see Elder Qwerek has a lot of confidence in winning against Krico," Ajax knew that Elder Qwerek was not a fool to initiate the death duel if he had no confidence. So, Ajax didn''t feel any worry that he would lose against Krico. ''Let them fight themselves, I will take care of these spirit beasts,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he rushed out of the tribe leader''s house. When Qwerek crushed Krico''s finger, the fire smoke disappeared into thin air, so Ajax rushed towards the new batch of spirit beasts that just entered the Hawk tribe without any hesitation. "Why is heing out again?" "Kraiww, didn''t you ask him to rest?" "I did, but still came out," Kraiww was speechless at Ajax''s actions and all the other elders scolded him, so he tried to defend himself. "Let me go and stop him," This time Erek wanted to force Ajax to stay inside the tribe leader''s house so that they could concentrate on their fight without any distractions. Since Ajax was their benefactor, no one wants him to be killed in their tribe while fighting for their tribe. So, Erek wanted to forcefully throw Ajax into the tribe leader''s house for his own safety. ''Roar'' However, just as he was about to rush towards Ajax, three rank 6 spirit beasts appeared at their entrance while roaring at them. "Let Ajax fight for himself and no need to worry about him. He can take care of himself," When they saw the three rank 6 spirit beasts, all the elders were alerted. Also, they were in a dilemma whether to go towards Ajax or take care of the spirit beasts. Then they heard their tribe leader''s voice and heaved a sigh of relief and focused on the fight. Soon, they stopped bothering about Ajax and started nning about their fight against the three rank 6 spirit beasts. "Everyone, listen to me, I will fight that center spirit beast, Twin tailed Lynx," "Kraiww and Krail, you two fight that ck yetis," "Erek and Eica, you two take care of that spirit infernal," the first elder, Cretual, divided the elders and allocated a spirit beast to each team and he himself allocated a spirit beast to fight alone. "Yes, first elder," All the remaining elders had no qualms in following Cretual orders as he was the most senior among them all. "By the way, cover each other''s back while fighting. These three are not normal spirit beasts. They are the kings of their kind, so keep an eye for their minions," Before everyone could start fighting the three spirit beasts, Cretual advised them a tip and left to fight the twin tilde lynx. Everyone kept that tip in their mind and rushed towards their respective spirit beasts to fight. Soon, four separate individual intense battles started in the hawk tribe. Three of them belong to the five elders of the hawk tribe and one battle was between Qwerek and Krico. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" ''Huh? Looks like this is going to take longer than I thought¡­.sigh,'' Ajax was in his massacre form as he killed all the spirit beasts that were rushing towards him with his spear and thought in his head when he saw the four intense battles in the distance as he sighed. ording to his initial nning, he thought he should quietly enter the fire crow tribe and save Raweth''s little brother before leaving the five elemental world. However, from the moment he entered the five elemental world, everything opposite to what he had nned was happening which made him sigh. ******** Chapter 303: Qwerek becomes serious

303 Qwerek bes serious

''Swoosh'' As he was sighing, he killed another spirit beast that rushed toward him which he managed to kill without much difficulty. ''I will improve my skills until the four battles are finished,'' Ajax shook his head and once again concentrated on improving his skills. ''If I feel tired then I will let my summons take care of these spirit beasts,'' Ajax didn''t want to use his elemental spirits or spirit beasts as the fight was still not very difficult for him. Also, most of the rank 5 and peak rank 4 spirit beasts were taken care of by the 12 Hawk guardians leaving only low-level rank 4 and below that for him. So, he took his time to kill the spirit beasts while improving his battle skills. So, he didn''t want to use all his trump cards in the beginning itself and saved them forter when he needed them. Soon, he continued his ughter and the system notifications kept on ringing in his head which he asked the system to mute it for some time. .... As Ajax started his ughter, the elders also started their fights with the rank 6 spirit beasts. Erek and Eica started fighting the spirit infernal which waspletely covered in orange mes. The spirit infernal''s attacks were mostly defended by Erek with his bulk body whereas Eica was attacking with her powerful attacks whenever she found a chance. The other team of the elders, Krail and Kraiww were in perfect synchronization in fighting the ck yetis which looked like an evolved spirit beast but in actuality, it still doesn''t have sufficient intelligence to think like a proper evolved spirit beast. However, it was able tomand its minions to attack them which made their powerful attacks stop in the middle. Instead of saying it wasmanding its minions to attack them, it''s better to say that the minions were willingly sacrificing for their king which made the brothers think that the ck yetis wasmanding them. "Big brother, this ck yetis is irritating me, let''s show it the true attacks of ours," Krail was irritated at the disturbance of minions and suggested his big brother Kraiww unleash their true attacks. "Sure, let''s finish this up and assist others," Kraiww also felt the same and without any dy, he agreed instantly and stopped attacking the ck yetis. As soon as Kraiww agreed to that, they both took out a sword from their space rings, but they didn''t attack the ck yetis instantly; instead, they shed at each other for 2-3 times as sparks of lightning generated from the collision of the swords entered into their body. Just as the sparks of lightning entered into their body, their bodies started shining like lightning and their speed increased by multiple times. "Brother, it''s been a while since we fought like this," Krail smilingly said to Kraiww as he rushed to attack ck yetis. Soon, the previously disadvantageous fight turned into a stalemate between the brothers and the ck yetis. Among all the three elder teams, the first elder solo team was managing better than the other two teams and the fight was better than a stalemate. Cretual used his powerful lightning skills to continuously stay in the upper hand in the fight with the twin-tailed lynx. As the elders were busy fighting rank 6 spirit beasts and 12 hawk guardians were busy fighting hundreds of rank 5 spirit beasts, the fight between the tribe leaders was still going on. "Krico, why don''t you care about your tribe and still behave like a fool even at a time like this," Qwerek''s both hands were covered by lightning and his long white hair was fluttering in the wind which made him look like a lighting god that descended from the immortal world. "Stop ying dumb with me. I know you are hiding my fire crow tribe''s genius in your Hawk tribe," Krico said while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking at both their appearance anyone could guess who was in the upper hand and who was in the losing end. Krico''s entire body was covered with many wounds and his original ck robes werepletely drenched in his own blood. "What are you talking about? I think I hit your head very hard earlier?" Qwerek didn''t understand what Krico was saying and thought that he was bbering some non-sense before his death. "I said don''t y dumb with me," Krico was angered as he took out a doll-like item from his space ring. As soon as it came out of the space ring it''s size increased from a few inches to 10 meters humanoid monster that had no face. "I now know that I was yed by that old ve toe here and challenge you, who is much stronger than you. But don''t worry, I will kill you even if I have to sacrifice myself," Krico thought back to the events that happened for the past few days and understood that he was fully yed by the older birdman. Even at his death door, Krico was unable to resolve his past grudges with Qwerek and decided to sacrifice himself and kill Qwerek with an artifact that the older birdman gave to him beforeing to the Hawk tribe. "Whatever, I thought you are my rival but you are just another loser that doesn''t ept reality and feel jealousy at other''s strength," Qwerek shook his head recalling the previous words of Krico who said that he didn''t care about the tribe. Before today, Qwerek knew that Krico was cunning and could do anything to gain power,?he never imagined that his priority for the power overshadowed his entire tribe when he was in the tribe leader''s position and felt that he was the worst kind of birdman he had ever seen. After saying these words to Krico, Qwerek pondered about Krico''sst words that said something about being yed by the old ve. ''Is he talking about the older birdman from the ancient ruins?'' Qwerek frowned when he rted Krico''s words with the older birdman. ''If he was really yed by that old ve, then his target must be my Hawk tribe and all the spirit beasts that were attacking us is also his n. Damn it, I have to activate the emergency signal as soon as possible,'' Qwerek felt that a disaster was upon his Hawk tribe and thought about activating some signal. "Hahaha, there is no one that could save you Hawk tribe now," As he was feeling anxious about the older birdman, Qwerek heard Krico''s words; however that was hisst words that he had spoken before being swallowed by the giant faceless doll. "What the heck! What is that thing?" Qwerek didn''t see that giant doll before and didn''t know what it could do. However, from the looks of it, Qwerek was able to say that it was not as simple as he thought. ''I need to quickly finish this giant doll and should activate the emergency signal,'' Qwerek''s face turned serious as he showed a resolute expression on his face. Chapter 304: Dangerous mission

304 Dangerous mission

"What the hell is that thing?" Ajax cleared the spirit beasts in his surroundings and looked at the giant doll that swallowed Krico just now and bbergasted at it. "What is that?" "It''s huge," "It''s giving me a bad premonition," "Everyone be careful and focus on your surroundings while fighting the spirit beasts," All the elders and the 12 hawk guardians paused for a moment and looked at the huge faceless doll that was more than 10 meters in height and asked various questions. However, no one knows what it was. So, they decided to leave it to their tribe leader and focused on the spirit beasts. ''I need a little more to break through to level 3 in the spear dao. I will continue killing a few more spirit beasts and I hope I break through to the level 3 in the spear dao,'' Ajax thought as he looked at the unending spirit beasts that wereing towards the?hawk tribe from a distance. Earlier he was able to kill hundreds of rank 4 spirit beasts and countless rank 3 spirit beasts; however, he still didn''t feel tired as he assumed that maybe his increment of the essence of nature in the spirit consciousness made him excited. Even though he muted the system notifications, after killing around 30 spirit beasts, he got a system notification saying that his spirit consciousness waspletely filled and the system asked him whether he wants to transfer the extra spirit consciousness to his elemental spirits. Without any hesitation, he epted it and at the same time, he suddenly thought of something.amidst his battle with the spirit beasts and decided to use his first skill, Spatial des. It was the very first skill he got by eating the ability fruit in the green wolves den on his first mission. Although the essence of nature consumed by it was very high, it could finish the job without much stress. However, he only decided to use it a few times and focus on his battle techniques or weapons dao. So, he followed the pattern of using his spear to kill a couple of spirit beasts and using the Spatial des once in a while to kill half a dozen of spirit beasts. ''From the previous fight, not only did I manage to break through to the peak level 2 in the spear dao but unexpectedly my spatial de also levelled up,'' Ajax was not surprised much by the break through in the spear dao but it could not be said to the ''Spatial des''. However, he didn''t have time to look at the details as another round of spirit beasts rushed at him. Just as he was about to rush at the spirit beasts, he was stopped by a system notification. He wondered why he got another system notification even if he muted system notifications and concluded that the system notification might be an important one and immediately checked it. ''Ding, "Huh?" Ajax was surprised that the frequency of the system missions was decreasing as he was getting more and more missions from the quest tab. Shaking his head, Ajax opened the quest tab to check the new mission hoping that it won''t be against his principles. ''Ding, Mission name:- Tame the 3 rank 6 spirit beasts. Description:- The older birdman used some kind of trick to send the peaceful spirit beasts towards the Hawk tribe. Killing the iing spirit beasts will not halt until someone tame the three rank 6 spirit beasts. Note:- Even though the rank 6 spirit beasts are unable to evolve into a humanoid form due to some restriction by the five elemental world, So, the system suggests the host tame it and stop the fight between the spirit beasts. Reward:- The system carefully guides the host in bing a rank 4 alchemy master. Additional rewards:- An elemental spirit lucky draw from the lottery tab. Danger rating:- A+ "What the heck! The rewards are somewhat way too enticing for me," Ajax eyes unconsciousnessly fell on the rewards section making him drool over the rewards of the mission. ''A+ Danger rating? Are you trying to kill me for my earlier opposition of your mission?'' However, when he saw the danger rating, his eyes nearly fell out of his sockets and asked the system. Previously, he did an action that the system didn''t want to do and he thought that was the reason the system generated such a high danger rating mission. ''Ding, The system already punished the host with a mission penalty since he did what the mission didn''t want the host to do. So, there is no need for the system to punish the host once again. Soon, the system replied to Ajax''s question making him ce his hand in the middle area between the chest and stomach. Ajax still remembered the pain when his cultivation was forcefully decreased by the system and gritted his teeth; however, he calmed down his anger and shook his head as he felt that there is no need to fight the system about this thing. "Huh?" After shaking his head, Ajax carefully read the description of the mission and was shocked by it. ''Damn old birdy I was waiting for you, so the things happening now are all because of you? Good,'' Soon, his shock was reced by the excitement as he thought about the older birdman. Previously, Ajax was barely able to escape from his hands and Ajax swore to take revenge for that. So, when he read the older birdman''s name in the description, Ajax was excited about it. Even though he was still not powerful enough to go against the older birdman, Ajax was confident that by using the strength potion that he got from the system as a quest item, he could kill the older birdman. ''However, before that, I have to have to find a way to tame these three rank 6 spirit beasts,'' Suppressing his excitement, Ajax looked at the three rank 6 spirit beasts that were fighting the five elders of the Hawk tribe and started his nning of taming them. But, before he could even think of something, he heard the roars of the spirit beasts from the distance which disturbed his thoughts. "I think I should summon someone one of my summons," Ajax revealed a smile as he finally decided to summon someone from the inner world. With that he one peeked inside his inner world and quickly checked all the elemental spirits. Among all the elemental spirits, only one elemental spirit waszing around since he was not allowed to enter into the elemental paradise. ''He looks really bored,'' Ajax smiled as he said, ''Come out Necros.'' As soon as he said that, Necros who had a dull expression on his face suddenly turned excited and immediately came out of the inner world. "Thank you, the great summoning master for calling me out," Necros didn''t leave the chance to praise Ajax as soon as he came out by bowing in front of Ajax. "Stop with the smooth talk and take care of them," Ajax ordered him and casually walked amidst the hundreds of spirit beast corpses as he thought about the n to tame the spirit beasts. Chapter 305: Summoners Group

305 Summoners'' Group

''How can I tame them,'' Ajax looked at the fight between the spirit beasts and the five Elders and thought. ''Forcefully taming them is impossible with my current cultivation,'' Ajax eliminated Paulin''s way of taming the spirit beasts and finally concluded to use his regr taming trick. ''I will do my regr thing,'' Without that he focused on one of the spirit beasts that were in a stalemate with Kraiww and Krail. His regr trick of taming was none other than healing the injured spirit beast and in return, the spirit beast would form a spirit contract with him. Until now he didn''t have any problem in forming a spirit contract since all the spirit beasts he tamed were injured and were in the weak state which made his spirit contract easy. However, the spirit beasts in front of them were on equal standards with the elders of the Hawk tribe. So, he felt it would be difficult this time. ''Elder Qwerek is also busy with the faceless giant doll and can''t help me in taming them. I guess I have to rely on the elders and form a contract with the spirit beasts,'' Ajax thought as he looked at the Elder Qwerek who was in an intense fight with the faceless giant doll and shook his head. ''Let''s start with this ck yetis or whatever it is called,'' Ajax knew the name of the spirit beast from the system. Ajax didn''t rush at the spirit beast though, since he knew that he would not stand a chance against the rank 6 spirit beast, so he carefully nned his path before rushing towards it. In his hands, the bloodlust spear shined with red luster as he used his level 2 cloud steps to sneak behind the ck yetis and used his peak level 2 spear dao to pierce its neck. When he was near to the ck yetis, it nced at him which made Ajax stop in his tracks. Since he wanted to sneak up on ck yetis?there was no uses one it saw him, so he stopped and became ready to dodge its attacks. However, to his surprise, it only nced at him for a moment before continuing its fight with Krail and Kraiww making Ajax speechless. "Am I a joke to you?" Ajax thought inside his head as he made a ''what is happening'' body gesture. ''I think, it''s for my own good,'' Instead of feeling anger, Ajax felt that it was a good thing as he could sneak up on the spirit beast and surprise it with what I could do to it for underestimating him. Ajax clearly saw the mocking look on the ck yetis'' face when it looked at him earlier, so Ajax decided to show it what he was made up of. ''Is he a summoner?'' Krail asked as he looked at Necros. ''It''s good then. We got another helping hand now in taking care of the spirit beasts,'' Kraiww was not surprised with Ajax being a summoner as he felt that Ajax was even more mysterious than a summoner. In the five elemental world, Summoner was not an unknown profession instead, it was a very popr one because every once in a while a group of summoners woulde to the five elemental world for some unknown reason. The most important reason they were popr in the five elemental words was that they were the kindest human ever that came to their world and even taught them some techniques and exchanged some good items with the races that were living in the five elemental world. Generally, when a human showed up in the five elemental world, they would be hunted by some tribes or some specific people. For example, Krico had some bad blood with humans and he would hunt them whenever he saw a human in the five elemental world; however, if a human was a summoner, then no one would try to harm him because it would make all the summoners to hate them and they would stoping to their world. So, when he learned that Ajax was a summoner, Kraiww was excited as he assumed that Ajax belongs to that group of summoners that visit the five elemental world. Not only Kraiww and Krail but all the other elders and the Hawk guardians were shocked at Ajax''s summoning. ''So, now I need not ask him any questions since he belongs to the summoners'' group,'' The tribe leader, Qwerek who was busy fighting the giant faceless doll also noticed Ajax''s actions and all his previous doubts about Ajax had disappeared and once again, he focused on the fight. ''Why are they looking at me like a precious duck thatys golden spirit eggs,'' Ajax felt weird when he saw all the looks from the elders and the Hawk guardians. ''Never mind, let me focus on the taming first,'' however, Ajax wanted to finish the mission as soon as possible, so that he could help others to ovee the current predicament and leave the Hawk tribe for his actual mission of saving Raweth''s little brother. Soon, everyone focused on their own battles after ncing at Ajax for a moment. Ajax only focused on the fight between ck yetis with Kraiww and Krail as his first target was the ck yetis. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Pakk patt'' Kraiww and Krail started attacking the back of the ck yetis head that made the rank 6 spirit beast mad with fury and became even more ferocious than before giving a hard time to both Krail and Kraiww. ''Damn it'' Krail was shocked that the ck yetis was hiding its original strength all along. ''Calm down Krail, just focus and we can deal with it just like old times,'' Kraiww slowly talked with Krail and calmed him with some simple words that made the Krail calm down instantly. ''Yes, like old times, we can deal with anything,'' Krail nodded his head and all of a sudden hyped up. Seeing him like that Kraiww also looked excited and rushed towards the ck yetis covering the spirit beast''s attacks for his little brother. ''They are a great team,'' Ajax who was observing them from a distance praised their team work and looked at the enraged ck yetis as he noticed something about it. ''Why is it enraged that much when they attacked its head?'' Ajax pondered about it. From the beginning, Krail and Kraiww attack that spirit beast with many attacks but it was not enraged; however, when they justnded one hit on the back of its head, it enraged to the point that someone stole something valuable from it. ''Maybe that''s it, it''s my chance,'' Ajax quickly thought about something and transmitted his voice to Kraiww, "Elder Kraiww, the ce where you attacked earlier was its weak spot." "What?" Chapter 306: Kraiwws Shock

306 Kraiww''s Shock

"What?" Kraiww was surprised for a moment and nodded his head at Ajax as he understood what he was trying to say. "Okay, Ajax," Kraiww replied to Ajax as he immediately ordered his little brother to attack the ce where he attacked earlier. Previously, Ajax just wanted them to attack at any ck behind its head as he nned something. However, to his surprise, he found its weak spot which made him solidify his earlier n even more. ''Now, I have high chances of sess of taming it,'' Ajax thought as he rubbed his head and looked Necros'' three undead summons that were fighting many rank 4 and rank 5 spirit beasts and even Necros also using his physical strength to take care of rank 4 spirit beasts. "Everything seems under control now," He also looked at others who were fighting and felt rxed before focusing on Krail and Kraiww''s fighting with the ck yetis. If anyone saw the fight from the sky it would notice, it was a total mess on the ground; however, everyone was doing their respective roles in fighting the spirit beasts. The tribe leader, Qwerek was busy fighting the giant faceless doll. The five elders fought the three rank 6 spirit beasts, The 12 Hawk guardians were fighting the thousands of spirit beasts that were below rank 6. Necros and some of the elite hawk tribesmen were taking care of the spirit beasts that were escaping from the 12 Hawk guardians. So, everyone was doing their role for the Hawk tribe. While many separate battles were taking ce in the hawk tribe, the older birdman was watching the fight with an excited expression until he saw Ajax summon the Necros. "What the heck, he belongs to the summoners'' group?" The older birdman was shocked by the new fact he learned about Ajax and all his thoughts were continuously messing up in his head. "Calm down, calm down," However, soon he calmed down as he thought, ''I will leave this world by the time the summoners find out about him, so there is no need to worry about it, Hehe.'' ''It''s no wonder, he got many tricks under his sleeve and escaped from mest time, '' Still, the older birdman felt uneasy when he looked at Ajax as he knew that Ajax had many tricks under his sleeve. Every summoner he met in his life was a powerful being that should not be underestimated even if they had low cultivation, so a small uneasy budded in his heart. ''Just a few more minutes, I can erase this entire Hawk tribe from the five elemental world,'' He started focusing more on Ajax to calm his uneasiness that was just budded a few moments back as he thought. ..... Back to the Kraiww and Krail''s fight with the spirit beast, ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Krail and Kraiw ran in the zig-zag making the ck yetis impossible to catch them with their passive lighting speed skills. The enraged ck yetis became even more angry and stopped its pointless attacks at them; instead, it raised its hand and?made a gesture of attack. As soon as it gestured, many ck yetis which were the mini version of that giant ck yetis came forward and attacked Kraiww and Krail which made them put a halt to their zig-zag movements. Even though they stopped in their tracks, they released two powerful lightning attacks at the ck yetis that made it copse on the ground. ''Krail, take care of these minions, I will take care of the big one,'' Kraiww didn''t wait for Krail''s reply as he rushed at the copsed ck yetis. Before he even reached it, the sword in Kraiww''s sword started sparkling with lightning which made it seem like a powerful attack. ''Is he going to kill it?'' When he saw the lightning sword in Kraiww''s hand, Ajax became anxious and tried to stop him; however, before he could transmit his voice, Kraiww''s lightning swordnded on the back of ck yetis'' head. ''No no no,'' Ajax repeated ''no'' continuously as he didn''t want the ck yetis to die. If it died, then the mission along with valuable rewards would be gone, so Ajax wanted it, not to die. ''Roarrrr'' As he was feeling that ck yetis would be dead by that lightning-filled sword, he heard a long enraged roar. Immediately Ajax looked at the ck yetis that didn''t have any scratch on the ce where Kraiww attacked and felt ted. ''Phew, it''s still alive,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the ck yetis was safe and even more lively than before. Although it looked weird that Ajax was ted at the failed attack, he was not wrong in feeling like that. ording to his n, he would tame one spirit beast and then attack the remaining spirit beasts with the help of the tamed spirit beasts. By doing so, it would release a great amount of pressure on their side. So, he felt ted at the alive ck yetis. ''But, even if Kraiww''s attack failed on that ck yetis then how can I tame it?'' However, his tion didn''t stay much longer as he found another problem. Since Kraiww''s powerful attack was not even able to make a scratch on its body, then how could he tame it. ''Maybe I am not thinking, right? There should be a way for me to finish this mission,'' Ajax started thinking and thought about using the strength potion which was the quest item but soon he shook his head. ''If I use it now when the old birdiees, I can forget about going back to the human world,'' Ajax had the reason for not using the strength potion. If possible he wanted to save the strength potion for the time when he destroys the assassin sect. ''What the heck!'' As Ajax was still in his thoughts, Kraiww, who believed that his attack would not fail, was unfortunately failed which made him shocked for a moment and he didn''t understand how this spirit beast could block his strongest attack with its bare skin. Nevertheless, he quickly suppressed his shock and retreated to his little brother. "Brother, what happened to your attack?" Krail, who was busy fighting the minions of the ck yetis, asked Kraiww about his previous attack. "Just see that big guy, who was standing and kicking alive before asking me about my attack?" Kraiww said to his brother while shaking his head. "Holy god! What am I seeing?" Krail was utterly speechless to see that his brother''s strongest attack didn''t even manage to make a scratch on the ck yetis. "Brother, are you alright?" Krail turned to his brother and asked him. He knew who his big brother must be feeling inside, so he tried tofort him with words. "I am fine," Hearing his little brother''s words, Kraiww smiled a little as he seriously looked at the ck yetis. "Elder Kraiww, can you distract it for a second?" Just as he was thinking about something, Kraiww heard Ajax''s voice and nodded his head in agreement. Chapter 307: Ajaxs knocks down the Black Yetis

307 Ajax''s knocks down the ck Yetis

''I can do it,'' Ajax''s face became resolute as he thought of another n which might work this time, so he asked Elder Kraiww to distract the ck yetis for some time. ''Although I am not 100 percent sure, I think I should at least try it,'' Ajax thought as he waited for Kraiww and Krail to distract the spirit beast. "Brother, you heard him. Let''s distract it," Kraiww said to Krail with a smile on his face as he rushed towards the ck yetis while killing its minions. Krail also nodded his head as he followed Kraiww to attack the ck yetis. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchhi'' Soon, Kraiww and Krail killed many minions of the ck yetis and started attacking it with their powerful attacks. ''Now,'' After a few rounds of attacks between them, the ck yetis was fully focused on Krail and Kraiww. As soon as its entire focus was on them, Ajax rushed towards it from the behind as he implemented his next step of the n. ''Necros, now use, Blind,'' Before he could reach the spirit beast, he ordered Necros to use the skill ''Blind'' on it. Without any dy, Necros followed Ajax''s order and used his mutated skill ''Blind'' on it. Although the skill might not be able to blind the senses of the spirit beast for much longer, it was enough for Ajax as long as the spirit beast''s senses were blinded even for a second. ''Roarrr'' ck Yetis loudly roared as it didn''t understand what was happening with it, as it was unable to sense or could see anything and behaved crazily as it destroyed the surroundings. ''Swoosh'' Ajax jumped onto it while dodging its mad hand wavings that destroyed the surroundings. ''Spatial des,'' As soon as he sat on its back Ajax focused on its weak spot and used his level 2 spatial des skill. ''Pak'' ''ng'' Continuous spatial des came out of a portal that attacked the weak spot of the ck yetis. However, none of the spatial des made much of a damage. In fact, there was not even a scratch on the ce where he released the continuous spatial des. ''Just like I thought,'' Ajax was not surprised at the deflecting spatial des; however he had a smile as said, ''Absolute Darkness''. As soon as he used the skill ''Absolute Darkness'' on the ck yetis, it fell onto the ground clutching its head with its hands. ''Thud'' ''Dang'' Just before that ck yetis fell to the ground, Ajax jumped from it andnded on the ground. ''As expected Blind with Absolute Darkness is a deadlybination to use on the higher realm opponents'' Ajax thought in his head as he looked at the giant spirit beast that was rolling on the ground as it roared with pain. Previously in the dimensional crevice, Ajax noticed that using Blind and Absolute darkness on a single target would be more powerful and effective. Finally, all the factors were against the ck yetis, so he finally fell on to the ground. "What the heck!" Kraiww eximed at the suddenly copsed spirit beast. "What did Ajax do to it?" Simrly, Krail was also shocked just like Kraiww and asked Kraiww about Akax''s attack that made the spirit beast copse without any resistance. "Who knows, but one thing was sure, he used a powerful spirit attack," Kraiww guessed Ajax''s attack as he said to Krail while looking at the spirit beast that was rolling on the ground. "Hmm, let''s kill it then," Krial didn''t think much as he knew that most of the summoners have two or more spirit rted attacks since they mainly focused on increasing their spirit consciousness. "Ajax said that he wanted to tame it, so let''s wait for some time in case the ck yetis suddenly attack Ajax," Kraiww exined everything about what Ajax said earlier to him through voice transmission to Krail and looked at the anxious Ajax who was rushing towards the copsed spirit beast. Not only Kraiww and Krail, but all the onlookers were shocked to see amander realm human brat to knock down rank 6 spirit beast that was three realms higher than his own cultivation strength. "Looks like our tribe can form a connection with the summoners'' group then we can roam all the five elemental world without any trouble," "Yes, yes" "Let''s see who will stop us then from leaving this Shixato wilds," All the remaining elders and elite tribesmen joyfully talked with one another amidst their battles. In the five elemental world, there were many regions and each region was ruled by a separate race. For example, Shixato wilds was the region that was specific for Bird races that were evolved from the normal bird-type spirit beasts. Simrly, other regions were upied by other races with their own set of rules. Unless some high realm cultivator invited you into their region, one should not enter the region. If they trespass into other regions without permission, they would be killed immediately. However, that was different for the people from the summoners'' group as they were actively invited into every tribe without hesitation. So, when the elite birdmen thought about Ajax, who belongs to the summoner'' group, they could also use Ajax''s name to enter other regions to explore more about the world without any fear of hunting them down. As for the 12 Hawk guardians, they nodded their heads at Ajax and soon resumed their fight. However, Elder Qwerek was unable to focus on Ajax''s fight earlier as he was fully busy with the giant faceless doll. ''Let''s try the final step of my n then,'' Ajax thought in his head and quickly went to the ck yetis to initiate his final step in taming the spirit beast. ''Hope this works. Please help me heavens,'' Ajax prayed the holy heavens to bless him with good luck. Ajax didn''t waste any time as he ced his hands on the spirit beasts head and tried tomunicate with it. ''I can help you reduce the pain from the nightmares you are seeing now,'' Ajax started his voice transmission with the ck yetis. ''Roarr'' However, the spirit beast roared and attacked him with its hands while its eyes were still closed. ''As expected, talking with the less intelligent spirit beasts is very hard,'' he thought while dodging its hands. When he started nning on how to tame the spirit beasts. Ajax''s first idea was to tame them with talking; but. When he clearly read the mission description, he understood that these three rank 6 spirit beasts were not having much intelligence which made a perfect army for the older birdman to destroy the Hawk tribe. So, he rejected the idea of talking with the spirit beasts before he injured them. To his surprise, the ck yetis was even more dumb than he thought as it didn''t understand the simple words which made Ajax shook his head in annoyance. "If talking has no use, then I can only use that," Ajax didn''t get dejected with his previous attempt as he came up with another idea. ******** Chapter 308: Black Yetis spirit consciousness

308 ck Yetis spirit consciousness

''Abyssal beast god bloodline activate,'' Without any hesitation, he activated his bloodline to increase his strength by a factor of three times. As soon as he activated his fusioned bloodline, the aura surrounding him changed and all the elders could sense bloodlust emitted from his body. ''Damn it, how can he have such bloodlust,'' one of the elite hawk tribesmen said when he sensed the intense bloodlust emitting from Ajax''s body ''Even though I killed many spirit beasts from birth, I was not even able to achieve half of it,'' another elite hawk tribesmanpared himself with Ajax. ''Please don''tpare yourself with a member of the summoners'' group,'' the previous elite tribesman immediately received the mock from all the surrounding tribesmen making him embarrassed and quickly escaped from there to kill the spirit beasts in the distance. "Brother, is it a Bloodline?" Krail raised his eyebrows and asked Kraiww while looking at Ajax. "It sure looks like it and did you notice one thing, it is making all the spirit beasts around him run away from him," Kriaww agreed with Krail and asked him to notice the spirit beasts around Ajax. "Huh?" Krail hurriedly looked at the ck yetis'' minions that were running away from Ajax and felt shocked as he asked Kraiww, " What is happening? Why are they running away?" "The low-level spirit beasts are running away because of his bloodline. I wonder what his bloodline that is making those low-level spirit beasts runs away" Kraiww''s impression on Ajax once again increased with a powerful bloodline and thought he was a genius that would be born once in a million years. The reason for his thinking was nothing wrong since Ajax was not only a summoner but he was also a bloodline awakener. And not a normal one but a powerful bloodline awakener. Only Kraiww and Krail observed Ajax''s bloodline as for the others they stopped looking when Ajax knocked down the rank 6 spirit beasts and focused on their fights. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t care about their recognition as he already knew that as long as hepleted his missions he could eventually reach King realm or beyond that. Until then, he had to reveal a few trump cards as possible, in case some powerful cultivators keep an eye on his trump cards. ''Anyway, the bloodline is not an umon thing in the Zrochester province and I think it''s even more umon in the five elemental world. So, there will be no problem in using the bloodline, right?'' Ajax thought like this before activating his bloodline. Without wasting any time, Ajax immediately jumped on the copsed ck yetis and tightly took hold of its head. After that, he closed his eyes and forcefully entered the spirit consciousness of the ck yetis. As soon as he entered its spirit consciousness in his spirit consciousness form, he was shocked by what he saw inside it. ''It''s my first time to see such an essence of nature,'' Ajax thought but immediately shook his head as he remembered why he entered the spirit consciousness of the ck yetis. ''I will mark my spirit here and form the spirit contract with it,'' Ajax, soon found a ce to imprint his spirit mark. However, just as he was able to ce the spirit mark, a small ck yetis that was formed by the essence of nature attacked him from behind. Ajax was entirely focusing on the spirit mark and he was ted at the fact that his task would be finished this easy, such that he was unable to dodge the transparent ck yetis. ''Oh, you look cute,'' Ajax turned back to look at his attacker; however, to his surprise he found that his attacker was a small cute ck yetis and could help but praise it for its cuteness. Although the ck yetis outside the spirit consciousness was not cute; in fact it was on an ugly side of the scale. But this ck yetis spirit consciousness form was rather cute which made him feel that taming the ck yetis was worth it. ''Just go aside and y, I will leave after cing my spirit mark in your spirit consciousness,'' While saying that he casually waved his hand and the small ck yetis flew away to one corner of its spirit consciousness. Even though the ck yetis outside the spirit consciousness had a rank 6 cultivation, it''s spirit consciousness was not even strong as a regr rank 4 spirit beasts. The reason for the difference was that ck yetis belongs to the body cultivating type spirit beast such that it entirely focused on improving the sturdiness of its body from its birth and its spirit consciousness slowly improved with his body cultivation''s additional effect. In most of the worlds, many cultivators choose any of the two cultivation systems, that are Body cultivation or spirit cultivation. Those who chose body cultivation would have strong bodies and weak spirit consciousness, which was increased by a small amount whenever they breakthrough a minor realm or major realm. As for the spirit cultivators, it''s the exact opposite body cultivators. They have weak bodies with high spirit consciousness. Without bothering about the small ck yetis, Ajax once again concentrated on cing the spirit mark. However, this time he was not disturbed by the small ck yetis; instead, it was the entire spirit consciousness that was shaking that made Ajax anxious and immediately looked at the small ck yetis. ''Ding, The spirit beast''s spirit consciousness was in an angry state. The system suggests the host leave its spirit consciousness before it self destructs its own spirit consciousness. "What the¡­.," Ajax was shocked to see the system notification that appeared between him and the angry ck yetis. ''Why is it trying to destroy its own spirit consciousness,'' Ajax didn''t understand as he thought inside his head hoping that system would help him out of this situation without leaving its spirit consciousness. However, the system didn''t give any reply as usual. ''I think, this taming mission has failed,'' Ajax felt dejected and as he was about to leave, but suddenly he got an idea and stopped leaving its spirit consciousness. Turning back to the angry ck yetis, Ajax smilingly took out a crude stone from his inventory and yed with it. As soon as the small ck yetis saw the stone in Ajax''s hand, it''s angry expression calmed down a bit. Simrly, the shaking spirit consciousness also returned to its normal state making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Phew¡­ what a relief,'' Ajax thought as he stopped ying with the stone and while caressing the stone in his hand, Ajax asked the small ck yetis, ''Do you want this?'' ''Huh? I once again forgot that it will not understand me,'' To his surprise, Ajax didn''t get any reply but he soon identified the problem and shook his head. "Sigh¡­.okay then. Take this," Ajax sighed as he threw the stone in his hand at the small ck yetis. ******** Chapter 309: Taming the Black Yetis

309 Taming the ck Yetis

''Swoosh'' The small ck yetis rushed towards the stone and caught it. ''Gulp'' ''Crrr'' Without wasting any time it swallowed the entire stone in one gulp and looked at Ajax and growled as though it was asking something from Ajax. "What? Do you want more? Sure," Ajax took out a simr stone from his inventory; however, the stone was much bigger than the previous one. Seeing the fist-sized stone the small ck yetis eyes shined as it jumped up down showing its excitement towards the stone. "If you want, thene and take it," Ajax gestured to the small ck yetis toe towards him. Ajax was sure that although it didn''t understand his words, it would definitely understand the basic gestures. So, he confidently gestured towards it with his hand. When it saw Ajax''s hand gesture, the small ck yetis stopped jumping up and down and puzzledly looked at Ajax bending its head sidewards. ''Comee,'' Ajax became speechless for a second and thought, ''How the heck did that old birdie manage to make them attack the Hawk tribe.'' ording to him, this was the dumbest spirit creature he had ever seen in his life as they could not even understand the basic body gestures. So, Ajax thought in his head about the older birdman who had sessfully managed to make these dumb spirit beasts attack the Hawk tribe. ''Sigh...'' Looking at the silent small ck yetis that was still standing at its ce withouting towards him, Ajax sighed. ''Don''t panic...Don''t panic,'' Losing his patience, Ajax tried moving slowly towards it while stretching his hand that had the fist-sized stone towards it. However, to his surprise the small ck yetis didn''t run away or attacked him; instead, it slowly walked towards him. ''Good boy,'' Ajax praised it as he finally reached it and slowly extended his hand towards his mouth. As soon as he did that, the small ck yetis didn''t waste a second before gulping down the fist-sized stone andzilyid on the ground. When he saw the small ck yetis on the ground, he carefully picked it from the transparent ground and lightly patted its head. ''What a good boy,'' Ajax smiled when he noticed how that small ck yetis enjoyed his pats and he praised it once again. While patting Ajax thought of an idea of cing the spirit mark on the spirit consciousness form itself. Just as he thought that the small ck yetis which was the spirit consciousness form of the original ck yetis, started growing in its size and reached the height of 1 meter from its original few centimeters height. Before it could reach one meter, the small ck yetis jumped off from Ajax''s hand. ''Roar,'' Afternding on the ground, it roared at Ajax making him feel anxious. The stones he used earlier were none other than the primitive stones he bought in the dimensional crevice. ording to his knowledge, most of the spirit beasts would die fighting with other spirit beasts for the primitive stones. Since the ck yetis was also a spirit beast and ording to its dumb nature, Ajax understood that it might not have any bloodline in it. So, he decided to try using primitive stones and then tame it. Generally speaking, the spirit beasts with the highest purity of bloodline in them would have high intelligence, so Ajax guessed the ck yetis might not even have a bloodline in it yet. First, he used a low-level primitive stone to test his theory andter used the mid-level primitive stone to sessfully bait it and tame it. ''Roar,'' As he was feeling sad, the ck yetis rushed at him at an incredible speed in an attempt to bite his spirit consciousness. Ajax didn''t even expect that the ck yetis would attack him and he was very close to it, so he was unable to evade the attack and decided to block it with his elbow. ''Puchi'' It bit his arm before he couldpletely cover his vitals of the spirit consciousness form. ''Ding, The ck yetis initiated a spirit contract with the host, please wait for a few moments. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked at first by looking at the sudden system notification in front of him but soon his face was filled with joy as he looked at the small ck yetis that was still biting his elbow. Although he felt a sting of pain from the bite, he didn''t make a sound as he was able to endure pains worse than that. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with the ck yetis. ''Ding, Since it is now the host''s contracted spirit beast, the host can easilymunicate with it. ''Ding, Mission progress: 1/3 Just two more to go. You can do it host. After waiting for a few moments, Ajax got a series of system notifications that gave one surprise after another. The first surprise was the spirit contract took very less time than he originally thought. Second, he was surprised that the system was encouraging him which made him feel that something was wrong with the system. The system never encouraged him amidst a mission, so he felt a bad premonition from this mission. Among all the three system notifications, the second notification made him happy as he doesn''t have to worry much in exining things to it. Although the mid-level primitive stone would help it be intelligent, it would take some time for it to absorb the energy from the stone. ''Hey little guy, stop biting now, the contract had formed?moments ago, now you can let go of my elbow,'' Ajax looked at the small ck yetis that was still biting his elbow, making him shake his head. Soon, it released his elbow and jumped into his embrace and rubbed its head at his chest. "Stop it, little guy, haha" Ajax smiled as he forcefully separated the ck yetis from his embrace. "I know what you want. You need more stones right?" Ajax asked as he looked into its eyes. ''Nods'' The small ck yetis nodded its head and though it understood what Ajax had asked it. Ajax didn''t feel surprised as he knew it was able to understand him through the spirit contract instead of his words. And?he found out that the ck yetis needed more to awaken its bloodline, so it tried to act cutely with Ajax to get more primitive stones from him. "Sure, I will give you as many as possible, help me in taming the other two rank 6 spirit beasts, okay?" Ajax didn''t give it primitive stones immediately as he asked it to help him. Although he could order it to directly follow his orders, he just wanted it to act on its willingness, so that it could show its true strength when fighting other spirit beasts. Also, he didn''t ask the ck yetis to convince the other two spirit beasts as he knew that those three were not on close terms. Soon, he came out of the ck yetis'' spirit consciousness and was shocked to see the scene outside. ******** Chapter 310: Next target:- Infernal Spiri

310 Next target:- Infernal Spiri

"What the he...woaaah" Ajax was not even able to finish his sentence before he was lifted up with a giant hand that had ck fur on it. "When did you be this big?" Ajax asked as he looked at the giant ck yetis that looked way bigger than he entered its spirit consciousness. The giant ck yetis ced Ajax on its shoulder and looked at the other two rank 6 spirit beasts. Before he came out of the ck yetis spirit consciousness, he cancelled his ''Absolute Darkness'' skill on the ck yetis. Since the skill was cancelled the ck yetis returned to its normal state and as its strength was higher than Ajax, the absolute darkness'' after-effect didn''t affect it much. However, what shocked Ajax was the size of the ck yetis that increased from 5 meters to 10 meters in height. ''Roarr'' ck yetis roared at him as though it was saying something to Ajax. ''Huh? So, because of the primitive stone, you ate previously, your body size increased this much?'' Even though it roared, Ajax was able to understand the meaning behind its roars through spirit contract. ''Anyway, you bing big is a good thing,'' Not only its size increased but it''s strength also increased from low-level rank 6 to mid-level rank 6 which made Ajax ted as he could now have a better chance at taming the other two rank 6 spirit beasts. After it roared at Ajax, the ck yetis once again started looking at the other two rank 6 spirit beasts as though they were the once that would give it the primitive stones from Ajax. "What am I seeing? Is it real?" Krail pinched himself as though he was unable to believe what was happening in front of him. "..." Kraiww also became speechless at Ajax, who tamed the rank 6 spirit beast within just a few moments. "From the looks of him, he does not seem to worked hard in taming it, I wonder what technique he used to tame it," Kraiww exined to his little brother. "Ouch ouch, it''s real, it''s really real," However, Krail came back to reality by his own pinch. "...." Kraiww looked at his little brother, who was still behaving like a little bird and shook his head and thought, ''I think Hawk tribe''s prophecy ising true.'' As he thought this, Kraiww eyes shined when he saw Ahax who was sitting on the ck yetis shoulder. "Woah...look, he tamed it," "What? He..he really tamed it," "Even a member with a low cultivation from the summoners'' group could tame a rank 6 spirit beasts without much stress," All the Hawk tribe elite birdmen started discussing about Ajax when they noticed that Ajax was easily able to tame a rank 6 ck yetis. "Hmm¡­ monkey, let''s go for this infernal spirit," As for the Ajax, who was sitting on the ck yetis'' shoulder looked at the other two rank 6 spirit beasts and selected infernal spirit as his next target. He called ck yetis with its new name, Monkey. Because, in its spirit consciousness form, it looked just like a monkey, so he didn''t think much before naming it Monkey. And the reason he selected the infernal spirit was it has the strength less than the other rank 6 spirit beast, the twin-tailed lynx and he also had more confidence in taming it whenpared to the other one which had lightning movement speed which was impossible for him to sneak up on it. "Elder Kriaww and Elder Krail, I will help the second and fifth elder, you two go and help the first elder in fighting the twin-tailed lynx," Before going towards the infernal spirit, Ajax suggested the brothers to help Cretual whereas he would help Erek and Eica. "Okay," the brothers nodded their heads as they knew that Ajax was stronger than they thought and most importantly, he now had the ck yetis to help him. So, they didn''t think much before rushing towards Cretual to help him. "Now, let''s go," Ajax ordered the ck yetis to move towards the inferenal spirit. After ordering it, Ajax looked at the infernal spirit, whose body was entirely covered with organge mes and under the mes, its body looked like it was made up of ck volcanic rock. Its height was only half the height of the ck yetis and it looked like a drawf in front of the ck yetis. However, in this world, size doesn''t matter and Ajax knew not to underestimate the opponents and overestimate himself from his past experiences. So he was careful and asked Monkey to stay alert at any unexpected attacks from the infernal spirit. The fight between the infernal spirit and the elders (Erek and Eica) looked like a stalemate but it was not. In actual, the infernal spirit was just toying with them to make them utterly hopless when they thought they were winning the fight with it. The reason for infernal actions of toying with them, came from its demonic nature. That''s right. The infernal spirit belongs to the Demon type along with Fire type. So, even though it doesn''t have much intelligence, it always toyed with its prey that gave it a demonic pleasure. "Roarrrr" When the infernal spirit saw that the ck yetis wasing towards it with an intention to attack it, it roared at the ck yetis and ignored the elders it was fighting and rushed towards him. Along the way, the mes on its body also increased which made Ajax raise his brows and thought, ''These mes look stonger than Volcanis'' me.'' When he saw the mes on the infernal spirit body, Ajax immediately thought about Volcanis'' mes which were the strongest me he had ever seen. Not even Raweth''s new mes he felt in the inner world earlier was not as strong as Volcanis. From this anyone could guess, how strong the mes on the infernal spirit body was. "Money can you withstand those mes?" Without any dy, Ajax asked the ck yetis about its strong body. "Nods" "Good, when ites near to us, catch it and don''t leave, no matter what. Did you understand?" Ajax immediately gave another order to it to which the ck yetis loudly roared as though it was saying ''Don''t underestimate my sturdy body''. "Okay okay, I know you have the strongest body," Ajax smiled as he settled on the ck yetis tightly. ''Swoosh'' As soon asthe ck yetis finished it''s roaring, the humanoid inferanl spirit jumped towards the balck yetis. However, it''s target was not the ck yeits; instead, it was Ajax, who sat on the ck yetis. ... "Why? Why is he alwaysing in my way?" The older birdman, who focused on Ajax the entire time from the outside of the Hawk tribe was shocked to see that one of the three rank 6 spirit beasts he sent to destroy the Hawk tribe was tamed by amander realm human brat. ******** Chapter 311: Blessing

311 Blessing

''Damn it, this human brat is alwaysing in my way. He didn''t know how much I wasted my energy in making them attack the Hawk tribe,'' The older birdman was bing impatient with each passing second as he looked at Ajax. ''Come on Qwerek, destroy that faceless doll soon,'' However, the older birdman calmed himself as he didn''t know what to do at this point of his n with Ajax''s interference and looked at Qwerek who was fighting the giant faceless doll. He just wanted Qwerek to destroy the giant faceless doll as soon as possible and for what reason he wanted Qwerek to destroy it? Only he knows. ''Just a few more minutes before that giant faceless doll got destroyed, hehe'' When he saw Qwerek''s fight with the doll, his eerie smile returned to his face and thought, ''I hope, this human brat doesn''t do much damage before my doll is destroyed.'' He was happy because tribe leader Qwerek was in the upper hand against the fight with the faceless giant doll and it would not take much time before the fight came to an end. ...¡­ ''Roarr'' The infernal spirit jumped at Ajax, who was on the ck yetis shoulder; however, it was caught by the ck yetis just when the infernal spirit''s mes reached Ajax. The ck yetis immediately hugged the infernal spirit to its sturdy body tightly that made the infernal spirit beast out of breath. Nevertheless, the infernal spirit was enraged with the intervention of the ck yetis and the intensity of the mes on its body increased. ''Money, hold it tightly, don''t leave it at any cost,'' Ajax slowly moved towards the infernal spirit from the ck yetis'' shoulder. ''The heat is damn powerful,'' the closer he moved towards the infernal spirit, the greater the heatwave he felt. ''I should think about another n to reach near it,'' Even though Ajax could move some more distance, he was sure that he would not be able to sustain the heat from the mes on the infernal spirit and stopped moving towards the trapped infernal spirit as he started thinking about how to reach near it. As Ajax was thinking of a n, Elder Erek and Elder Eica looked at each others'' faces and speechlessly stood on the ground watching the trapped infernal spirit in the ck yetis embrace. ''Is that same rank 6 infernal spirit we fought earlier?'' The fifth elder, Eica asked the second elder, Erek in a low voice. ''Haha...this brat is helping our tribe too much. Maybe the tribe''s prophecy is bing true,'' Just like Eica, Erek also said in a low voice while stroking his white beard. ''You will, he will lead us out of this world to other greater worlds?'' Eica was surprised by Erek''s words but she felt that it''s usible with Ajax''s current actions. ''Haha'' just thinking about this made both the elders smile and expectant for the bright future of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Tribe. ''We should be happy this soon. I will stay here and help Ajax in case if he needs me. You go and take care of the low-level spirit beasts,'' Erek shook his head and asked Eica to go and attack the other spirit beasts whereas he would help Ajax in case he required Erek. ''Hmm,'' Eica didn''t say anything as she knew what kind of situation they were in presently, so she rushed immediately to take care of some of the spirit beasts. He didn''t ask her to help the other elders with the rank 6 spirit beast as he knew that the three elders were in a better position and they would kill the spirit beast soon. ''Young master, I can help you with the mes from the infernal spirit?'' As Ajax was thinking, he heard Raweth''s voice in his head. ''What? You can help me?'' Ajax immediately looked into his inner world and asked Raweth about it. ''Yes, but I can only maintain my new skill for five minutes,'' Raweth briefly exined about his new skill that he awakened after absorbing his ancestor''s inheritance. ''But I can''t summon you out for the time being,'' Ajax''s previous joy was destroyed when he thought about this. Ajax doesn''t want Raweth toe out of the inner world for two reasons. One, he doesn''t know how the Lightning Hawk tribe members would react seeing a member of their enemy tribe. Two, he was guessing that the older birdman was observing the fights in the Hawk tribe, so he doesn''t want to reveal that Raweth fully observed the fire crow tribe ancestor''s inheritance as it might make the older birdman toe immediately after him which he doesn''t want. Because he wants to tame the three rank 6 spirit beasts first so that he could have a better standing against the older birdman. If he and Elder Qwerek joined hands to fight the older birdman, he doesn''t need to waste the strength potion and he could save it for the future. So, he didn''t want to summon Raweth out of his inner world this early. ''I don''t need toe out of the inner world for using this skill,'' ''Really? Then what are you waiting for?'' However, Raweth''s next words surprised Ajax as he immediately asked him to use his skill. ''Yes, young master,'' Seeing the anxiously Ajax, Raweth smiled as he was finally able to help his young master, who helped him so much. After replying to Ajax, he closed his eyes and small orange light came out of Raweth''s body and entered Ajax''s body. As soon as it entered into his body, an orange halo surrounded Ajax''s whole body. ''Ding, The host received the blessing of a Sun crow (juvenile). ''Ding, 50 percent resistance to all types of mes for five minutes. As soon as the halo that was only visible to him appeared around his body, Ajax received two system notifications that made him surprised. ''50% percent resistance to all mes? Juvenile sun crow?'' Ajax was surprised by the 50% resistance and confused by the juvenile sun crow. ''I will check itter,'' However, he was not in a position to ponder about those things now as he should tame the infernal spirit before he loses the blessing and the ck yetis'' body could not take the heat much longer. Aftering out of the inner world, he resumed his movement towards the infernal spirit slowly testing the blessing. ''Great,'' Ajax felt nothing when he moved towards the infernal spirit and just when he was 2-3 meters near the infernal spirit, the heat energy he felt was also increased drastically. ''I can do this, just a little more,'' Just when he was near 1 meter away from the infernal spirit, he felt that the mes were unbearable for him but he tried to move towards it. However, just as he tried to move towards it, he got a system notification that made him both surprised and happy. ''Ding, ******** Chapter 312: Body tempering

312 Body tempering

''Ding, Do you want the mes from the infernal spirit to temper your body? Yes/No This system notification made Ajax happy and without any hesitation, he said, ''Yes''. The reason for his happiness was that tempering the body with the mes was very helpful for body cultivators as their strong bodies be even more stronger after tempering with the mes. The most important reason for his joy was that it was very rare to find a suitable me to temper the bodies since all the mes don''t have that property to temper. So, he heard the system notification, there was no hesitation in his answer and immediately agreed to the tempering. When finding such mes, only body cultivators would be happy as they could only use that mes for tempering their bodies. Simrly, there were some mes that were suitable to temper the spirit consciousness which could only be used by the spirit cultivators. Since Ajax cultivates both body cultivation and spirit cultivation, he could use both body tempering mes and spirit tempering mes. Just, he needs to find those mes. Soon, the heat energy from the mes touched the surface of his skin and Ajax felt his skin was burning but in actuality, there was not even an inch of burnt skin on his body. ''Aarrgh'' He was feeling the pain that he never experienced before. Before, Ajax endured pain like bone-cracking many times but this was the first time he was experiencing the pain from burning. However, he only felt the sharp burning pain in the beginning but it became less after some time as though he was used to the me intensity and closed in on the infernal spirit. ''Aarghh'' Once again he felt the pain but this time the pain was much intense and stayed longer than the previous time. ''Just a little more,'' Ajax now started to fear the heat from mes of the infernal spirit. Every time he neared it, the pain from the heat increased along with the duration that made him shiver a little. Nevertheless, he took the final step and ced his hand on the infernal spirit''s head. ''Aaaarghhh'' As soon as he ced his hand on the infernal spirit''s head, he felt the heat that not only burnt his skin but his muscles and tendons which made him cry loudly. "What is he doing?" Erek, who was observing Ajax didn''t understand what Ajax was trying to do by cing his hand on the infernal spirit by risking his life. ''Aarrgh arragg'' With each passing second, the painful noises of Ajax decreased in volume as his body''s resistance towards the infernal spirit increased drastically which made his body even more sturdy and stronger. ''Now, Necros do it,'' Just like before, he ordered Necros to use his ''''Blind skill to seal the senses of the infernal spirit. Necros followed his order and immediately used it. ''Absolute darkness,'' whereas he used his ''Absolute darkness'' skill on it. As soon as he used it, the mes on the infernal spirit increased even more as though the nightmares it was experiencing from the absolute darkness were horrible and it unconsciously released even more me. Since Ajax still had his Abyssal beast god''s bloodline activated, the intensity of the Absolute darkness along with Blind skill from Necros increased by multiple times making the infernal spirit crazy. However, Ajax didn''t feel any pain from the increased mes but felt warm. ''Looks like I can''t use its mes anymore to temper my body,'' Ajax thought, shaking his head before entering its spirit consciousness. Once a cultivator uses a specific me to temper his body, then he or she could not use that me once again to temper their body. So,?even when the mes of the infernal spirit raised, Ajax didn''t feel anything and his body also didn''t temper with it. ''What is he doing?'' the only birdman in the Hawk tribe, who was doing nothing but watching Ajax''s actions was puzzled and thought why did he stop all of sudden after touching the infernal spirit. Whenever Ajax entered into spirit consciousness form, his original body would be motionless. So, when he saw that Ajax was motionless after touching the infernal spirit, he didn''t understand what he was doing. ''But, the mes from the infernal spirit also stopped and it also became motionless,'' Elder Erek observed carefully to find out what was happening with Ajax and the infernal spirit. ''Wait a second, since Ajax is a summoner and his spirit consciousness will be stronger than the regr cultivator. Yes, I got it now. He must be forcing the rank 6 spirit beast to enter into the spirit consciousness form and fighting it in its own spirit consciousness,'' Soon, Elder Erek was able to guess the reason behind both Ajax and the infernal spirir bing idle just after Ajax touched the infernal spirit. Ajax used the same tactic with the ck yetis which worked well for him, so he tried once again to force his way into the infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness. Just like Ajax, the infernal spirit also entered into its own spirit consciousness in the spirit consciousness form as it was unable to sense its surroundings. And the most important thing was its spirit consciousness was not in a perfect synchronization with the body due to ''Absolute darkness'' skill and even its spirit consciousness was in a weak state because of that skill. Nevertheless, since amander realm cultivator tried to enter its own spirit consciousness, the infernal spirit didn''t waste much time to go after Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. ''It''s more colourful than monkey''s spirit consciousness,'' Seeing the spirit consciousness around him, which waspletely filled with ck and red colours, Ajaxpared it with the ck yetis spirit consciousness. ''Bang'' As he was enjoying the colourful view, he was attacked by the mini version of the infernal spirit that looked just like a small elemental spirit. ''I think, its name came from this spirit consciousness form,'' Ajax was not angry he was attacked by the infernal spirit since he intruded into its spirit consciousness, it was by right it could attack him. He carefully looked at the one-meter cat-like elemental spirit in front of him that was entirely ck except for its abdomen which waspletely red making it look like a demonic cat. ''Why all these rank 6 spirit beasts'' spirit consciousness forms are in a cute look,'' Ajax thought about the previous ck yetis'' spirit consciousness form that looked like a cute monkey and now here it''s a cute kitten. ''Looks like I have to form the spirit contract with it before the effect of the ''Absolute darkness'' and ''Blind'' skills go off,'' Ajax decided to not waste any time with the cute kitten and quickly took out the low-level primitive stone from his inventory. When the cute kitten saw the primitive stone in Ajax''s hand, it looked at Ajax first before slowly walked towards him carefully. However, before Ajax could feel happy, he received a system notification that made his heart anxious. ''Ding, ******** Chapter 313: Kitty

313 Kitty

''Ding, The skill ''Absolute Darkness'' has lost its effect. ''Ding, The infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness will be returned to normal. "What the hell? How can Absolute Darkness lose its effectiveness when I used it with Necros'' blind skill,'''' Ajax became anxious as he felt that he would not be able to tame the infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness form if it returns to its original form. After seeing the two system notifications, Ajax got the answer to his previous question of why the spirit consciousness form of these rank 6 spirit beasts were cute. It was because of the Absolute Darkness skill that suppressed the spirit consciousness of these rank 6 spirit beasts with the nightmares and made them impossible to reveal their true strength. Since these spirit beasts were way more powerful than him, even when he used the ''Absolute darkness'', the spirit beasts were able to form the spirit consciousness forms. But, only miniature versions of their own bodies were able to form. ''If I used ''Absolute darkness'' on rank 4 spirit beasts, they would die on the spot just like the middle-aged man in the dimensional crevice; however, these spirit beasts were able to even break my skill. Damn it¡­ once again strength ys an important role, Ajax cursed at his own bad luck and tried to escape from the infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness. However, a strong hand caught him and made it impossible for him to escape. ''Hello brother, let''s talk,'' Ajax knew that the hand belongs to the infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness after reverting to its true form and turned to face it to talk with it. ''Roarrr'' As soon as he looked at the true spirit consciousness form, Ajax was met with a loud roar that made his spirit consciousness form shake a little. ''I need to think of a n to escape from it,'' Ajax started thinking about a n but before he even started thinking about it, he saw the huge tiger facee close to him. ''Sniff'' ''Sniff'' It sniffed Ajax''s face before turning its attention to the primitive stone in his hand and gulped the stone. After gulping the stone, it freed its grip around Ajax''s waist and ced him on the ground and it looked at him. ''Huh? You want more?'' Ajax was surprised that the humanoid tiger didn''t do anything to him. ''I think it wants more of these primitive stones,'' Ajax smiled when he thought about this and slowly took out the low-level spirit primitive stones from the inventory. ''Even though you didn''t reply to me, I know you need these stones,'' Ajax slowly called it with the low-level primitive stones in his hand. As expected, as soon as he called it, the 4-5 meters infernal spirit that looked like a humanoid tiger walked towards him. ''Good boy,e eat this and gain some intelligence so that you will not be the pawns of others,'' Ajax talked to the infernal spirit but he knew that it would not understand a thing about what he had just said. ''Gulp,'' the infernal spirit swallowed the second low-level primitive stone and looked at Ajax with pitiful eyes which didn''t match its current size. ''Okay okay, I will give,'' Ajax slowly fed one primitive stone after another and at the same time he used his other hand to pat its tiger head that was bigger than the football. ''Now is the time,'' Finally, after feeding it nearly 5 primitive stones, the infernal spirit''s spirit consciousness form started taking time to absorb the primitive stone it gulped. When he saw that, Ajax immediately took out the mid-level primitive stone and fed it without hesitation as he continued patting its head with his other hand. The infernal spirit became excited when it looked at the mid-level primitive stone, it didn''t eat; instead, it looked at Ajax and roared at him in a low voice. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked that it might have seen through his n; however, looking at his gentle look on its face, Ajax quickly rejected that thought and asked it. ''Roar'' ''roar'' It kept roaring at him as though it was trying to say something but it was no use as Ajax didn''t learn spirit beastnguage till not because he didn''t find a reason to learn it. ''Roarrrr'' When the infernal spirit saw that Ajax was not understanding a thing of what it said, it became angry and loudly roared at him before biting his hand. ''Hey! What are you doing? It''s not my fault that I am unable to understand you,'' Ajax became shocked at the sudden transformation of the infernal spirit and shouted at it. ''Ding, Infernal spirit has initiated the spirit contract with the host. Do yuo want to agree to form the contract with it? Only when he saw the system notification, Ajax understood what that infernal spirit was doing and became happy. ''Agree, I agree,'' Ajax immediately agreed, thinking that the infernal spirit might lose interest in forming the spirit contract with him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming the spirit contract with the infernal spirit. ''Ding, Mission progress:- 2/3 . Only one more to go host. ''Ding, Now, the host canmunicate with the infernal spirit through the spirit contract. Within a few seconds, he got the system notifications informing about the sess of the spirit contract and the mission progress. He didn''t bother paying any attention to the mission progress and looked at the infernal spirit that released his hand from its mouth and waited for it to tell him what it was trying to say to him earlier. ''Roarr roar'' The infernal spirit kept on roaring for more than a minute before stopping its roaring and looked at Ajax with an expectant face. "So, you want to give this primitive stone to your life partner," Ajax understood everything that infernal spirit was trying to tell him from the moment he showed it the mid-level primitive stone. From the spirit contract, Ajax was able to understand and asked it once again to confirm with the infernal spirit. ''Nods'' The infernal spirit nodded its head agreeing to Ajax''s words. "No problem, you consume it, I have another one with me. We will give it to your life partner," Ajax smiled at the infernal spirit and finally understood the reason it attacked the Hawk tribe. It was asked by the older birdman to attack the Hawk tribe in return, he would give a mid-level primitive stone, which could be used to heal the sickness of its life partner. "I will help your life partner, don''t worry," Ajax patted its tiger head as he said with a smile on his face. However, the infernal spirit didn''t consume the mid-level primitive stone immediately; instead, it looked at Ajax for a moment before gulping the stone. ''Now, let''s go to our final target, the twin-tailed lynx,'' Ajax said and came out of the infernal spirit consciousness. ''Monkey, leave the kitty. It''s one of us now,'' As soon as he came out, Ajax ordered the ck yetis to leave the infernal spirit that had just awakened, from its embrace. ''Boom'' just as he ordered the ck yetis, Ajax heard a low noise from the distance. ******** Chapter 314: Qwereks uneasiness

314 Qwerek''s uneasiness

"Woah," When he looked in the direction of the loud sting sound, he was ted and shouted with excitement. The reason for his excitement was that the battle between Qwerek and the giant faceless doll hade to an end with Qwerek ended up as a winner. ''Even though he won the battle, he looks tired,'' Ajax excitement decreased a little when he observed Qwerek''s face and thought in his head. "Hey Ajax, you managed to tame two rank 6 spirit beasts in such a short time. I don''t know which word I should use topare you with?" As he was in his thoughts, Ajax saw Qwereke flying towards him while asking him. Ajax also didn''t know what to reply, so he remained silent and looked at the fallen faceless giant doll on the ground. It was slowly bing liquid as it entered into the ground and disappeared which made Ajax raise his brows a little, but before he could ask about it, Qwerek suggested Ajax, "Since the twin-tailed Lynx was on itsst leg, let''s kill the remaining spirit beasts." After saying his words he immediately left the Hawk tribe andnded in the middle of the spirit beasts and started killing them. ''I hope Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor notices my emergency signal and helps us as soon as possible,'' While fighting the spirit beasts, Qwerek muttered with a worried expression. Even though he destroyed the giant faceless doll, he still felt something was amiss and wanted to clear as many spirit beasts as possible before his uneasiness bes true. So, he used his average skills, which were more than enough to kill the spirit beasts in his surroundings and save the powerful skills for that uneasiness in his heart. Although he tamed the two rank 6 spirit beasts, the low-level spirit still continued rushing towards the Hawk which made Ajax surprised as he didn''t understand what was driving them towards the Hawk tribe. Initially, he thought that all the low-level spirit beasts were led by the three rank 6 spirit beasts but that was not the case here. Except for the few minions of the same race, Money and Kitty could not control any other low-level spirit beasts. ''Wait a second. What did Elder Qwerek say before leaving the Hawk tribe,'' Ajax immediately recalled Qwerek''s words and?looked at the Twin Tailed Lynx. ''What the ¡­.,'' Ajax was unable to finish his words by looking at the fight between the elders and the twin-tailed lynx. The twin-tailed lynx looked just like the spirit cheetah he had previously seen in the cursed wilderness except that it was much bigger and looked even more ferocious than them. But it was now grievously injured and the first elder was about to use his signature skill to finish its life. "Elder Cretual," Ajax loudly shouted at Cretual, stopping the first elder from finishing his signature skill. "What is it, Ajax?" Cretual was surprised that Ajax managed to tame another rank 6 spirit beast and his respect for Ajax increased by another level and asked politely. The reason he behaved politely was not that he was able to tame the rank 6 spirit beasts; instead, he was a member of the powerful summoners'' group. However, Ajax didn''t know that he was being misunderstood by all the Hawk tribesmen for a summoners'' group member and thought that all the Hawk tribesmen were behaving way more respectfully than earlier when they looked at him. Not only the first elder but Kraiww and Krail also don''t at Ajax for the reason he stopped the first elder from finishing off the final rank 6 spirit beast. "Don''t tell me that you want to tame this final rank 6 spirit beast?" As the three elders were waiting for Ajax to give an answer, the cking Elder Erek walked towards Ajax as he asked him. "What?" "You want to tame another rank 6 spirit beast?" "Just how big is your spirit consciousness? Can you even supply the sufficient essence of nature for them with your present cultivation?" All three elders asked different questions to Ajax. For the questions, he replied them with a sheepish smile which in turn made the surrounding elders speechless. Although Ajax was able to form a contract with many spirit beasts and elemental spirits, it was an umon thing in general. Because every time a cultivator forms a contract with spirit beasts or elemental spirits, he had to supply a certain amount of essence of nature to them based on their strength and other parameters. So, when they saw that Ajax already had an elemental spirit which had a higher cultivation than him and two rank 6 spirit beasts which he had just tamed in front of their own eyes they asked Ajax about his spirit consciousness. Also, they could guess that Ajax might have other elemental spirits and spirit beasts in his spirit consciousness and wondered where he was getting that much essence of nature from. All their assumptions about Ajax were almost right but the number of spirit beasts and the elemental spirits he had in his inner world was an unimaginable guess for them. However, what they didn''t know about Ajax was that he didn''t need to use spirit consciousness to store the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits; instead, he had the system feature, an inner world in him that could store many beings in it. And the most important thing was the in that inner world, he had various elemental paradise that could provide him sufficient essence of nature to nurture them. "Whatever, just don''t go overboard while taming it. It might affect your future cultivation," The first elder, Cretual calmly suggested Ajax do what he thinks was right and also added to don''t exhaust himself in the process. "Thanks, elder," Ajax thanked the first elder, Cretual and jumped onto the ground from the ck yetis'' body. ''Stay here Kitty,'' Ajax patted the tiger head of the infernal spirit that waspletely covered in the orange mes; however, those mes didn''t do anything to his hand as his body was already tempered by them. ''Grrr'' The infernal spirit replied to him with a low growl. Ajax slowly walked towards the grievously injured twin-tailed lynx and thought, ''I think this mission is easier than I thought.'' When he looked at the injured Lynx, Ajax''s confidence in taming it boosted to the peak and increased his walking pace with a smiling expression on his face. "Ajax, just go and ce your hand on it, I will make it unable to move," Before he could reach the Lynx, the Lynx became angry and it became alert to kill him as soon as he got near to it. But, the first elder helped him by sealing the movements of the injured Lynx. "Thanks, Elder Cretual," Ajax looked at the first elder and thanked him before taking out the low-level primitive stone from his inventory. ''Roarr'' However, the injured lynx looked at Ajax and roared at him which seemed like a mocking. ******** Chapter 315: Twin-tailed Lynx

315 Twin-tailed Lynx

"Wait! Are you mocking me?" Ajax was shocked that he was mocked by the injured lynx. ording to hisst two experiences, the twin-tailed Lynx should be excited after seeing the primitive stone; however, here it was mocking him. "Ajax, so you used low-level primitive stones to tame the previous two rank 6 spirit beasts. But, you have to remember that all the spirit beasts are not the same," Kraiww looked at the stone in Ajax''s hand and asked while controlling hisughter from the spirit beast''s mocking towards Ajax. Not only Kraiww but other elders also did their best to control theirughter. For the evolved spirit beasts like Birdmen, the primitive stones don''t have much effect and only high-level primitive stones would help them in improving their bloodline purity. Simrly, some unevolved spirit beasts like Twin Tailed Lynx, they also don''t have much use of the low-level primitive stones or mid-level primitive stones due to their already highly purified bloodline. Ajax also knew this and quietly exchanged the low-level primitive stone with the mid-level primitive stone from the inventory and looked at the Lynx. ''Roar'' This time, the lynx didn''t mock Ajax and at the same time didn''t show any interest in the stone in his hands making Ajax feel something was wrong with the injured Lynx. ''If it doesn''t show interest in the mid-level primitive stone, then its bloodline must be at least 30 percent purified. But, why is this beast still not evolved or gained sufficient knowledge tomunicate with others?'' Ajax thought about the reasons behind the Lynx''s intelligence. If any spirit beasts had bloodline, they could understand the basic gestures and some words; however, here it was unable to understand his words even when its bloodline purity was high. ''System, do you know the reason?'' Ajax felt that all his previous knowledge about spirit beasts was wrong and wanted to know what he was missing about the spirit beasts bloodlines. ''Ding, Not all spirit beasts can evolve. They need fortuitous encounters to evolve. ''Ding, As for the spirit beast''s intelligence, it varies from one spirit beast to another. ''Ding, Also, due to theck of human presence and the evolved tribes didn''t want to tame other unevolved spirit beasts made them unable to even understand the basic gestures. Unexpectedly, the system gave the answers to his question making him surprised. Originally, he didn''t think the system would give him any reply; however, it not only gave him a reply but gave him three replies. ''Oh. So, it''s like this,'' After seeing the three system notifications on the holographic screen, Ajax understood something about the spirit beasts from the five elemental world. Whereas in the human world many cultivators regrly tamed the spirit beasts and eventually, the spirit beasts in the wild were able to learn human ways and were able to transform into humans after reaching the specific cultivation realm. So, the wild spirit beasts in the human world were way more intelligent than the wild spirit beasts in the non-human worlds. ''Sigh¡­ I should help them once I have sufficient strength,'' Ajax thought in his head as he looked at the injured lynx. The reason behind his thinking was if these spirit beasts were intelligent enough they could avoid the pointless battle between the spirit beasts and the Hawk with a simple talk. If the wild spirit beasts were intelligent enough they could have easily found out that they were being used by the older birdman and decidedly to help them after he had sufficient strength. ording to Ajax, in this word, almost all the things would be solved if you have sufficient strength. ''However, it was not mocking me, so I still got some chance to tame it,'' Ajax was not dejected and felt happy that he still had a chance and without hesitation, he took out a small cup of mini thunder pool''s water and sshed at it. As soon as the water fell on the injured body of the twin-tailed Lynx, all its wounds started recovering at a visible pace. ''Purr'' Lynx lightly purred as though it was enjoying the feeling of recovering at a fast pace. ''Do you want some more?'' Ajax took out another small cup of water from the inner world and asked while carefully observing it. Although what Ajax doing seemed suicide for many, in fact, it''s not. After thoroughly beaten up by the elders it had lost all the hope of surviving from the Hawk tribe. However, when someone was trying to help it with some miracle water that not only helped it heal its injuries but also started purifying its bloodline. What does that mean? It meant it was bing stronger with the help of that water. But, the ecstasy feeling onlysted for a few seconds before its healing speed decreased along with the purification of the bloodline. Just as it was feeling helpless, it once again saw the being in front of it took out the same water out of nowhere and asked something which it barely understood and immediately nodded its head. ''Good, you look more intelligent than Monkey and Kitty'' When Ajax saw that the injured Lynx nod its head towards his question, he felt it was more intelligent than the previous two rank 6 spirit beasts that he formed the spirit contract with and moved towards it without any hesitation. ''Please don''t make any abrupt actions,'' Ajax prayed in his heart while moving towards it. Ajax thought that if the lynx did something unexpected, he would use his absolute darkness and Necros, who also kept an eye on it, was ready to use Blind on it. At the present state of the twin-tailed Lynx, Ajax was 99 percent sure that, if he uses both ''Absolute Darkness'' and ''Blind'', it would definitely die after experiencing some horrible nightmares, so Ajax hoped it would not act unexpectedly and help him finish the ''A+'' danger rating mission. The twin-tailed Lynx also slowly moved towards him for the sake of the lightning pool''s water. When he saw the slow movement of the Lynx, Ajax felt happy and crushed the mid-level primitive stone into the small cup and mixed it with the water. As soon as the crushed powder dissolved into the water, it gave a tempting scent to the lynx which made it even more excited making it rush towards Ajax without any fear. ''Drink slowly,'' Ajax allowed it to drink the thunder pool''s water and used his other hand to ce it on its head and started his contracting process. The reason Ajax didn''t enter into its spirit consciousness was that he knew that the Lynx was in a very weak state and there was really no need for him to enter into its spirit consciousness for forming a spirit contract; instead, he could directly form a contract from the outside. ''Damn, he is using the thunder pool''s water asmon water,'' ''Please ask him to stop using the invaluable water like that?'' The elders, who were observing Ajax, felt that their hearts would explode if they continued watching Ajax''s actions. "Hahaha, finally I am here," As they were in their own thoughts, they heard a familiar eerie voice and hurriedly looked at the direction from which it came. ******** Chapter 316: The Older Birdman Moves

316 The Older Birdman Moves

As soon as they heard the familiar eerie voice, all the elders, 12 Hawk guardians and even Hawk tribe''s elite tribesmen became tense and anxious. It was because they know that the voice belongs to the acting ancestor of the three tribes in the Shixato wilds. Recently, the tribe leader and the five elders of the Hawk tribe revealed some of the terrifying facts about the acting ancestor from the ancient ruins. The facts were that the ancestor was actually a ve that was sealed by their Lightning Dragon Hawk emperor and he would help the three tribes from any outside danger; however, he had gone mad due to having sealed his power and wanted nothing but to destroy the three tribes. After knowing these facts they were even terrified to go out of their tribe even when they knew that the older birdman could not harm them directly. However, all of a sudden they heard his voice and unconsciously shivered. "How are you, my dead little Hawks," The older birdman appeared at the same ce where the giant faceless doll sank into the ground. ''Boom'' As soon as the old birdman spoke a loud sting sound could be heard by everyone and they looked at the sound and their shivering stopped by looking at the person that wasing from the smoke. He was none other than the Hawk tribe''s tribe leader Qwerek, who used his one of the powerful attacks to st thousands of spirit beasts that were surrounding him. And after using that attack, he immediately rushed towards the tribe and stood in front of the older birdman without any fear on his face. "Hehe¡­.You have be more powerful than that old lightning dragon hawk emperor when he was at your age. I wonder what miraculous encounter did you have in those barren Shixato wilds?" The older birdman started with his eerie smile and questioned Qwerek about the secret behind his strength. "Old ve, how did you enter into my Hawk tribe without my permission?" Instead of answering his question, Qwerek questioned in return while raising his brows. ''Where is the loophole in the hawk tribe''s barrier that he managed to gain entry without my permission,'' Although Qwerek looked fearless on the surface, his mind and heart were totally in a disarray about the appearance of the older birdman in his tribe. He doesn''t want to show the worry on his face because he knew that the moment he showed it, all the elders and others would lose hope and be utterly hopeless. At the same time, he continuously thought about the barrier that prevents the older birdman from entering the tribe. Not only Hawk tribe but the other two tribes also have a simr type of barrier that prevents the older birdman''s entry into the tribe unless the tribe leader deactivates the tribes, the older birdman could not enter the tribe. The older birdman wanted to know which item helped Qwerek to be powerful before leaving this world. So he once again asked the same question. "Haha¡­ I have my ways," Qwerek also replied in a simr way that made the older birdman enrage. "Ok, fine. The giant faceless doll you fought earlier absorbed the energy from the barrier core after it was destroyed by you. So indirectly you helped me. Now say what is that item?" the older wanted to know about the item and quickly finish what he had nned earlier. "Hahaha¡­ why should I say to you?" Qwerekughed as he mocked the older birdman; however, inside his heart, he cursed himself for not being careful after destroying the giant faceless doll. ''I need to waste as much time as possible before the lighting dragon hawk emperor does something for us to escape from the current predicament,'' Qwerek thought in his head and decided to waste time with the older birdman as he had less confidence in winning against his fight with the older birdman. "Because I will kill you and your tribe members in a way that could never imagine¡­.hehe," the older birdman was never worried about Qwerek and he exactly knows what his weaknesses and strengths were. "Huh? I think you are forgetting something here?" Qwerek puzzledly asked the older birdman pointing his finger at the older birdman''s abdomen. "Huh? Do you mean the seal ced by your real ancestor? Hehe," Looking at his own abdomen, the older birdman startedughing and stopped abruptly and replied, "I found the way to kill all of you with my own hands" As soon as he said those words, the older birdman disappeared from his original ce and appeared behind Qwerek flickered his finger on Qwerek''s back. ''Thud'' Just as the finger touched Qwerek, he lost his flight and crashed into the ground. ''tter'' Qwerek stood up from the ground by removing the rocks away from his body and looked at the older birdman who was still flying in the air and asked, "How are you still fine, even after attacking me, the hawk tribe''s leader." "Hehe...since you look like a little lost birdie, I will say it," the older birdman continued with his usual eerie smile and said, ''Because you killed the fire tribe''s tribe leader Krico, I now have the chance to kill everyone from your hawk tribe in the name of justice...hehe.'' "What?" "What?" When the elders and the tribe leader heard those words, they were shocked and looked at each others'' faces. "Yes, since you killed Krico, I have to avenge him by killing you. However, since all the elders wille in my way when I kill you, I will kill them too and the seal in my spirit consciousness will not do anything to me..hehe" the older birdman said his n of killing all the hawk tribe. "But..but why won''t that seal act on you?" Qwerek finally understood the older birdman''s ns and why he made Krico challenge him to a duel. However, he still didn''t understand why the seal wouldn''t do anything to him? "Because the seal was not ced by the lighting dragon emperor alone but the other two great ancestors of the tribe also helped him and added a condition to it...hehe," the older birdman stopped for a moment and continued, "They added ''avenge their tribe leader if he was killed by anyone even if he was the tribe leader of the Hawk tribe leader'' and that was also agreed by your own great ancestor. A great ancestor indeed¡­.hehe," When Qwerek heard those words, he was speechless and didn''t understand why his great ancestor agreed to that weird condition while sealing this old birdman. ..... A few moments ago, "What the hell! He came sooner than I expected," When all the elders were in despair, Ajax was the only one who was ted at the appearance of the older birdman in the Hawk tribe and eximed at his speed. "Come one on," Ajax looked at the twin-tailed lynx and waited for the system notification toe. He didn''t wait much time before a series of system notifications flooded in front of him. ''Ding, ******** Chapter 317: 1-5-12 sealing formation

317 1-5-12 sealing formation

''Ding, Congrattions to the host, the spirit contract with the twin-tailed Lynx is formed sessfully. ''Ding, Mission progress:- 3/3 Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a spirit contract with the three rank 6 spirit beasts andpleting the ''A+'' danger rating mission. ''Phew¡­ finally mission ispleted,'' After seeing the two system notification Ajax felt relieved and waited for more system notifications. ''Ding, Reward:- System guidance to reach rank 4 alchemy master is stored in the Host''s inventory. Please activate it when the host is in a deste ce. ''Ding, Additional reward:- An elemental spirit lucky draw is added to the lottery tab. ''Woah¡­,'' Ajax totally forgot what kind of situation he was presently in after seeing the two good rewards. The system notifications didn''t stop there but still continued. ''Ding, Aplishment Rating:- A+ Note:- Due to the host''s wits and taking sufficient risks, the original aplishment rating is increased from ''A'' to ''A+''. ''Ding, An energy orb that can help the host to break through five minor realms is stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. "Okay, finally my risks paid off but I have no time to use the rewards now," Ajax was over cloud nine when he saw thest system notifications but he knew that he could use them at his present situation and looked at the older birdman who was conversing with Qwerek about the seal. Just as he looked at the older birdman, Ajax noticed that the older birdman also looked at him at the exact same time that made his hair rise but he suppressed the sudden fear and revealed a smile at the older birdman. "You...you are a very good human brat that I have ever seen in my life," The older birdman revealed a smile through his gritted teeth. When he saw Ajax''s smile, the older birdman''s body unconsciously trembled with anger as Ajax was the main reason his one of the two feasible ns was destroyed causing him to waste so much of his energy. So, the older birdman wanted to kill Ajax with his own hands to cool his anger from the previous time. Last time, Ajax made the older birdman a fool and cost him so much energy in searching for him andter when he found out the location of Ajax, he fell into Ajax''s n as he had to use his precious energy to fight against the octopus-like spirit beast. Thinking about all the past events, the older birdman was unable to suppress his anger towards Ajax. "I know I am a genius among the humans, Haha," Ajax noticed the older birdman''s tremble with anger when he was speaking to him and wanted to irritate him even more. If he could not win against him, he could use the level 3 strength potion or let Necros consume it and he could definitely turn the tides of a fight. Also, Ajax remembered how he was tortured by the older birdman in the mysterious cave and wanted to return everything back to him. So, he wanted to irritate the older birdman as much as possible before killing. "Brat, you are really something. Not only did you try to spoil my ns for the second time but you even tried to irritate me...Hehe," The older birdman said with a smile on his old wrinkled face but there was suppressed anger in his tone as he continues, "Previously, I wanted to seal alive and find out more about you; however, I changed my mind now. I will kill you and slowly take my time to find your secrets from your dead body." As soon as he finished his words, the older birdman released a ck fire arrow towards Ajax. ''Huh?'' When he saw the ck fire arrow, Ajax unconsciously tried to dodge it; however, he was unable to move his body and was surprised a little. "You look surprised. It is not a normal arrow, it is my basic signature skill which restricts the target''s movements...hehe," seeing the surprised look on Ajax''s face, the older birdman exined about the ck fire arrow. "Hahaha...Since I can''t dodge it, I will defend it," Ajax didn''t even flinch at the ck fire arrow as he took out his inheritance sword out of the spirit consciousness and casually shed it with his level 2 sword dao. With the level 2 sword dao, his attack speed increased by 30 percent and the sword wave generated from the sword sh looked faster as it easily cut the ck me arrow into two. "Huh? A level 2 sword dao?" The older birdman was used to Ajax''s little tricks from thest time, so he was not surprised by Ajax''s level 2 sword dao. "Now, ying time is over, let me kill you directly with my own hands," the older birdman rushed towards Ajax in an attempt to kill him directly. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' However, the older birdman''s w attack was stopped by Qwerek in the nick of time. "Just wait for your turn, I will kill you all today," The older birdman was enraged and didn''t stop his w attack; instead, he changed the target and used on Qwerek, who easily blocked the attack with his huge wings. "Huh? You were this strong?" The older birdman didn''t expect Qwerek to have the strength of the level 10 elite general realm?which was almost the same strength as him. But because of living for many years, the older birdman had vast battle experience and various techniques so it was clearly visible to everyone that the older birdman was in the upper hand against Qwerek. "All the elite members of the Hawk tribe go inside the tribe leader''s house and as for the five elders and 12 Hawk guardians form the 1-5-12 sealing formation," Qwerek quickly ordered everyone from his tribe to hide in his house and ordered the elders and Hawk guardians to form some formation called 1-5-12 sealing formation. Earlier, when the older birdman released his aura all the iing spirit beasts were feared to enter the hawk tribe and returned back from where they hade from. So, Qwerek had nothing to worry about those spirit beasts and ordered all the younger generation to leave the battlefield. "Yes, tribe leader," As soon as they heard the orders of the tribe leader, everyone nodded their heads respectively and gathered behind Qwerek and started to form a circle around Qwerek. In the centre, Qwerek and the older birdman, who was surrounded by the five hawk elders and they were surrounded by 12 Hawk guardians. As soon as they formed two circles around them, they took out some formation tes from their space rings and started chanting something. Within a few seconds, a huge barrier formed around Qwerek and the older birdman. From the sky, it looked like some kind of powerful formation as it blocked the exit for the older birdman. "Now, you don''t have a way to escape from this formation and I am invincible in it," Qwerek looked at the older birdman and seriously said. "Hahaha," When he heard Qwerek''s words, the older birdmanughed, surprising everyone around him. ******** Chapter 318: Necros eerie smile

318 Necros'' eerie smile

"You little birds think that you can win against me just because of this little formation?" the older birdmanughed for a while before mocking all the hawk tribe members that surrounded him. ''I know that it is not strong enough to kill you, but all I want to waste as much time as possible for my ancestor to send some help,'' Qwerek was not dejected by the older birdman''s words as he knew that this sealing formation was only a temporary solution to stop the older birdman. ''Waoh it looks cool. If it kills or injures the older birdman, it will save me a strength potion; however, I think it''s not possible,'' Ajax thought the formation looked majestic but when he saw the aura around the older birdman, which was raising slowly, Ajax shook his head and took out the level strength potion and was about to give it to Necros who just made another minor breakthrough after consuming some many spirit beasts that he killed earlier and reached level 8 of the elitemander realm. ''With this level strength potion, Necros'' strength will reach the peak elite general realm and can fight the older birdman on an equal footing,'' Ajax thought as he finally gave the strength potion to Necros to drink. ''Necros, drink this and you will be strong enough to fight that old birdman,'' Ajax said to Necros. When he heard Ajax''s words, Necros'' eyes shone as he recalled the previous time''s helpless situation he had against the older birdman. Due to insufficient strength, he was unable to help Ajaxst time but now with the strength potion, he could vent out his previous anger and present anger towards the older birdman. ''Ajax, don''t use any items for now, when he breaks free from the sealing formation, you can use it and we need to waste as much time as possible before my great ancestor sends us help,'' Just when Necros was about to drink the strength potion, Ajax received a voice transmission from Qwerek that made him stop Necros from consuming the strength potion. Although Qwerek was unable to see what Ajax was trying to do, he was sure that Ajax would do something. So, he asked him to stop his trump cards for now and use it when the older birdman breaks the sealing formation open. ''Great ancestor?'' Ajax didn''t understand Qwerek wordspletely as he asked Qwerek in the same voice transmission. ''My tribe''s great ancestor, Lightning Dragon Hawk emperor, will do something to help us as I already sent him an emergency signal earlier,'' Qwerek exined about the emergency signal to Ajax. ''Okay,'' Ajax nodded his head and watched theughing older birdman in the barrier. "Haha...you think a little formation like this would seal me?" The older birdman''sugh became louder and louder as his aura also stopped increasing. Although Ajax doesn''t know exactly how much his strength had been raised, it looked that Qwerek''s sealing formation would notst much longer. With a loud explosion, the barrier that was blocking the older birdman from moving away exploded all of a sudden and all the elders and the Hawk guardians were sted away by the explosion. "See that...Just with my aura alone, I was able to break you 1-5-12 or whatever sealing formation," the older birdman said with a shrug and walked towards Qwerek as he continued saying, "Let me tell you another bad news in a good way. The emergency signal you sent earlier to your so-called great ancestor was blocked by me and got destroyed...Hehe. Even if you waste another 10 or 100 years, your great ancestor would not even know about what happened today." When Qwerek heard thest words of the older birdman, he felt all his hopes in saving the tribe were disappeared andpletely covered in despair as he didn''t know what to do now. "I know what you are thinking from the beginning by wasting my time and waiting for your great ancestor...Hehe. You are all just small birds in front of me trying to outsmart me. But bad luck, you need more wits to outsmart me like that human brat there," After saying that the older birdman rushed towards Ajax to kill him. ording to him, among all those who were present around him, only Ajax was a variable who was capable of doing something unexpected, so he wanted to clear this variable first before slowly taking out the rest of the Hawk tribe. However, before he could reach Ajax, he was once again stopped by someone. It was not Qwerek but Necros, who had an even more eerie smile than the older birdman as though he was waiting for this chance from some time. ''What?'' The older birdman didn''t expect Ajax''s elemental spirit that only had elitemander realm strength earlier; however, now had the peak elite general realm and only one step away from the Elemental Spirit King realm. Just a few moments back when Ajax heard the older birdman''s words, he didn''t waste any time and immediately ordered Necros to consume the level 3 strength potion which would increase the strength by three major realms but the only limitation was that the increment could not break past the King realm. And the reason, he chose Necros to consume the strength potion was among all his elemental spirits Necros was the strongest one and he had one over-powered skill that would help him fight against the older birdman with ease. When he heard Ajax''s order, Necros immediately drank the potion and blocked the older birdman''s attack without much difficulty and since he could resolve all his previous grudges with the older birdman, he eerilyughed. ''Necros, you only have 10 minutes, soplete this within the time,'' Ajax silently said about the time limit for the strength potion and order him toplete the fight in 10 minutes. Necros was not happy with the time limit as he liked his present feeling of ''I can do anything now''. However, he didn''t dare toin to Ajax as he knew how rare the item he just used now and thought to torture the older birdman as much as possible within 10 minutes. "You¡­.. HOW DARE YOU," the older birdman was enraged when his hand was caught by Necros and loudly shouted. "Hehe...hey old birdie, how do you want to die?" Necros noticed that the older birdman didn''t like his eerie smile, so he, on purpose, asked the question with his eerie smile. When he heard that, he got irritated and along with the eerie smile on Necros'' face the older birdman''s aura started rising to the peak elite general realm. But before he could reach peak elite general realm, he was mmed into the ground by Necros. Necros didn''t stop there and continued punching the older birdman in the ground without giving a chance for him to stand up from the ground. Ajax looked at the fight and felt satisfied with the Necros'' strength and rushed towards Qwerek to help him up. ''Don''t worry Elder Qwerek, I got it under control,'' ''Boom'' Just as he consoled Qwerek after helping him up from the ground, Ajax heard a loud boom from the ce where he just came and immediately looked towards it and was shocked by what he had seen. ******** Chapter 320: Killing the older birdman

320 Killing the older birdman

''Squish'' When Ajax went towards the hole to see the older birdman, the?strong muscr body transformed into an old weak body. "It looks even weaker than before, right?" Ajax asked Qwerek, who was beside him while watching the older birdman''s body in the ground. "Yes, what should we do to him, Ajax?" Although Qwerek wanted to kill the older birdman right away, he asked Ajax before acting. Since Ajax was the one who managed to save the Hawk tribe from the older birdman and even knocked him unconscious, he felt that only Ajax had the right to decide the fate of the older birdman. "Huh?" Ajax was not surprised at Qwerek''s question and looked at the body on the ground once again but with the focus this time. ''Ding, Strength:- Level 1 of General realm. ''Only level 1 of the general realm?'' Ajax was shocked at the system''s assigned strength of the body. He only asked about the strength of the older birdman''s body, so the system only disyed the present strength of the unconscious body in the hole. "Since he only had general realm strength, let''s wait until he wakes up before torturing," Ajax wants to torture the older birdman for a bit before killing him. Although Ajax doesn''t like to torture others, his feud with the older birdman was not a small thing. So, he decided to torture him a bit. Because of the older birdman, Ajax feared to enter the five elemental world that was very rich in five elements. If not for the level 3 strength potion, he would not have entered the five elemental world once again this soon; instead, he would have waited until he became strong enough beforeing back to kill the older birdman. "Maybe thatst skill''s after-effects are very bad that made him lose his cultivation; however, we have to be careful since we don''t know what trump cards he has under his sleeves," Qwerek nodded head and warned Ajax to be careful before he took all the elders and the hawk guardians towards his house. "Ajax,e back soon. I have something to talk with you," Before entering the huge entrance of the tribe leader''s house, Qwerek turned back and told Ajax. "Okay elder Qwerek," Ajax replied to Qwerek and looked at the body as he thought of how to torture him. ''Ding, The level 3 strength potion''s effect is losing on Necros. ''Ding, He will be in a weakened state for the following month. Amidst his thoughts, Ajax got two system notifications that notified him about the strength potion''s effect. "Thank you, Necros. You did well today. Go and rest in the dark elemental paradise for the next month," Ajax already knew the after-effects of the strength potion and thanked Necros for his hard work and ordered him to rest in the inner world. "Yes, summoning master," Necros said in a barely visible tone before entering the inner world. It''s just like Ajax thought, the older birdman was shocked by Necros'' temporary invincibility after cancelling the ''undead fusion'' skill. However, the older birdman didn''t know it was only temporary physical invincibility and didn''t want to take a risk and decided to escape. That was the biggest mistake he made in the fight that led him to his fall. ''Maybe my luck is good,'' Ajax continued thinking in his head as he sat on the ground as he observed the older birdman. ''Young master, can we please go to the fire crow tribe now. I don''t know how my brother is fairing with all the spirit beasts that are attacking the tribe now?'' As he thought about the ways to torture the older birdman, he heard Raweth''s voice in his head that made facepalm himself. ''How did I forget this?'' Ajax immediately stood up and jumped into the hole. "Dark w," ''Cleave'' He didn''t think much before he cleaved at the older birdman with his right hand that became like a demon hand that looked extremely powerful. "Huh?" However, to his surprise, the dark w didn''t do much damage to the older birdman''s body; instead, it only made a small cut. ''Looks like his body is still stronger than I thought,'' Ajax shook his head and continued his cleaving with the dark w ''Cleave'' ''Cleave'' ''cleave'' After cleaving around 10 times, Ajax finally stopped because he knew that the older birdman had died as he got the system notification. ''Ding, Killed a sealed demi king realm birdman. Gained 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Gained a Demi king realm essence gem. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a being that almost touched the King realm. ''Ding, Gained an additional reward:- special reward box. "What? These many rewards?" Ajax was excited as he briefly nced at the series of system notifications and shouted out loud. "I will check these after leaving the hawk tribe," Ajax immediately bent and picked the older birdman''s body before throwing him into the inner world and came out of the hole. ''Roar roar roar,'' As soon as he came out of the hole he heard the roars of this recently tamed rank 6 spirit beasts. "I didn''t forget you. Wait I will send you into my inner world," Ajax immediately sent them into the inner world and rushed towards the Qwerek''s house to say a few words to him before leaving for the fire crow tribe. As he was running towards the tribe leader''s house, he received a system notification which he didn''t pay any attention to as it was?not a system generation mission. "Elder Qwerek, I have a small work and I wille back as soon as possible," Ajax opened the huge door and hurriedly said before rushing out. He didn''t even wait for Qwerek''s reply as he was in a very hurry because if he wentte then it would cost the life of Raweth''s little and along with Raweth''s death. "Tribe leader, how can he leave like that. We didn''t even extend our thanks to him for helping our tribe," The second elder, Erek asked Qwerek looking at the hurried Ajax. "Let him go. He seems really serious about something. Since he said he wille back, then he wille back. Until then let''s recover our tribe," Qwerek shook his head and said to Erek that they didn''t have the right to stop Ajax. ''But, I hope hees soon,'' Qwerek wanted to discuss many things with Ajax but seeing him in a hurry, Qwerek didn''t stop as it was not good to make things difficult for their benefactor and decided to wait. ... As for Ajax, he quickly rushed out of the Hawk tribe and summoned Raweth out of the inner world. After summoning him, he wanted to summon Twilight but he was stopped by Raweth as he said, "I have another method to reach the fire crow tribe in the shortest time possible." "Huh?" When he heard this, Ajax was puzzled and looked at Raweth as he asked, "What is it?" ******** Chapter 321: Sealed Spirit Beasts

321 Sealed Spirit Beasts

''Haha'' Raweth revealed a light smile as he walked some distance away. "Huh?" Ajax looked at Raweth''s mysteriousugh and waited for what he was going to do now. ''Whuzz'' "What the ¡­.," As he was observing Raweth keenly, Ajax saw him be a giant fire crow and spread his wings which looked domineering. He was surprised at the huge wingspan that covered almost half a kilometer and Ajax looked just like a little bird in front of him. ''Young master,e and sit behind me. I will take you to the fire crow tribe within minutes,'' Ajax, who was still in a daze after looking at the giant bird form of Raweth, was woken up by Raweth''s voice. "Right," Ajax nodded his head and immediately jumped on the huge fire crow which was around 100 meters in height. ''Raweth, let''s go,'' Even after he sat, Ajax noticed that Raweth was not moving, so he asked Raweth to start flying. ''Just wait for a second young master, I am locating the exact location of the fire crow tribe,'' Raweth''s voice exined in Ajax''s head through the spirit contract. Ajax didn''t say anything and nodded his head while observing Raweth feathers, which werepletely red except for his tail feathers which were pitch ck. ''Young master, hold tight,'' Amidst his observations, he heard Raweht''s flight signal but before he could barely hold his position on Raweth''s back, he suddenly experienced air resistance that forced him backwards but he was quicked clutched Raweth''s feathers tightly. In the air, he was barely able to blink his eyes as the wind force was very high and he simply closed his eyes and felt the nature around him. But before he could feel anything, he was once again disturbed by Raweth''s voice, ''Young master, we are here.'' "What? We have already reached the fire crow tribe," Ajax was shocked by Raweth''s voice and immediately opened his eyes to look at the tribe that was almost simr to the Hawk tribe with some human-made houses and some big nests on the tall trees. Ajax knew that the distance between each tribe was almost some thousands of kilometers but Raweth was able to cover that distance in a few minutes. Just thinking Raweth''s flight speed made Ajax shudder as he was even faster than the Elder Qwerek. ''I think I should ask him about it another time,'' Ajax didn''t ask Raweth about it since the tribe in front of him was invaded by the spirit beast horde. Most of the houses in the tribe were destroyed and some of the fire crow tribesmen were fighting the spirit beasts and among them, no one looked strong. "Young master, I am going in to find my little brother. Can you help me defend my fire crow tribe from the spirit beasts?" Raweth also saw that there were only a couple of strong tribe members among those who were fighting fearlessly. "Okay, find him and inform me immediately, I will save him," Ajax nodded his head and allowed Raweth to leave. ''Now, let''s my new friends show their strength,'' After Raweth left, Ajax?looked at the barely defending fire crow tribesmen and summoned his newly contracted rank 6 spirit beasts. ''Whoosh'' ''Whoosh'' ''Whoosh'' Immediately after that three spirit beasts appeared in front of him. ''What? Why you three became small all of a sudden,'' However, Ajax was shocked by the appearance of the three rank 6 spirit beasts that appeared in front of him. Initially, they were tall and looked ferocious but now they became half of their original sizes and had the same height of Ajax which made him shocked. It was not just the size but the strength of the three rank 6 spirit beasts were decreased to the peak rank 4 that made Ajax worry even more and immediately checked the system notifications that came when he stored them in his inner world. ''Ding, Since the host has only amander realm, the newly contracted spirit beasts'' strengths are sealed by the system. ''Ding, The host can only break the system seals by making the spirit beasts evolve into humanoid forms or by increasing his own strength. Earlier, he was in a hurry, so he didn''t bother checking these system notifications; however, these are the worst system notifications he had ever seen. ''How many dreams and hope I had kept on these three rank 6 spirit beasts,'' Ajax sighed at his bad luck. When he tamed all the three rank 6 spirit beasts, he thought that his dreams of taking revenge on the assassin sect were almost within reach but the system poured cold water on them and woke him up from those dreams and made him face the cruel reality. ''Whatever. You guys, go and help those ...nevermind. Come back,'' Ajax thought of sending them to help the firie crow people but he quickly rejected that idea as he knew that the fire crow tribesmen could mistakenly kill these three sealed spirit beasts. If they had the same rank 6 strength, Ajax would not bother much about it, but now their strengths were only rank 4. So, he didn''t want them to be killed by the fire crow tribesmen while helping them. ''Who should I summon?'' Ajax looked into his inner world to choose one or two helpers to help the fire crow tribe and his eyesnded on the Volcanis who was cultivating in the fire and water dual elemental paradise. "Volcanis,e out," Ajax immediately summoned Vonis without hesitation as he was the second strongest elemental spirit in Ajax''s team and a suitable candidate with the highest attack power. ''Go and help the fire crow tribesmen,'' Ajax didn''t exin anything to Volcanis and just gave one order and Volcanis disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of an elite fire crow tribesmen and started attacking the spirit beasts. "Not bad, not bad. Just after entering the fire and water dual elemental paradise, his strength reached the elite elemental spiritmander realm and even level 3 at that," Ajax felt satisfied with Volcanis cultivation speed and observed the surroundings to check whether anyone needed any help. It didn''t take much time for him to find various ces that required help. ''Damn it, where are the fire crow tribe elders? Or they don''t have some squad or unit like 12 Hawk guardians?'' When he saw the many fire crow elite members were dying, Ajax thought andpared them with the Hawk tribe. Although all the 12 hawk guardians don''t have strength as high as the tribe leader or the first elder Cretual, they have the same strength as the second elder Erek and the captain head the around the same strength as the first elder that is level 2 of the elite general realm. When hepared the tribes, he felt fire crow tribe management was way worse than he thought. ''As expected of the great tribe leader Krico,'' Ajax mocked the dead tribe leader, Krico as he summoned his shadow clone and split into two directions to help the fire crow tribe members. ******** Chapter 322: Rawin

322 Rawin

''Whoosh'' ''sh'' "Where are my remaining team members," A masked fire crow?tribesman gritted his teeth while shing a spirit beast that came towards him. Behind him, his huge wings were carrying an unconscious young boy, who had a sickly face. "All the crows, assemble," ''sh'' ''sh'' "All the crows, assemble," The masked shouted into a talisman as he continued killing the iing spirit beasts. Although his face was covered by the mask, one could say just by a look that his attacks lost their shine and looked weak that he was not even able to kill a peak rank 5 spirit beast with his level 2 elite general realm. This masked birdman was the leader or captain of the fire crow tribe''s fifteen crows unit and the young man, who was protected in his huge wings was none other than Rawin, Raweth''s little brother. When the spirit beasts started attacking the fire crow tribe he was with Rawin and taking care of him. So, he was unable to leave Rawin alone in the house as he would die as soon as any spirit beast entered into the tribe. The masked birdman didn''t want that to happen and carried behind and shielded him with his huge wings and continued fighting the spirit beasts that were already entered into the fire tribe. The first thing he did aftering out of the house was to assemble his units by transmitting his orders through a voice transmission talisman. However, no one responded to him and still, he didn''t stop transmitting his voice while killing the spirit beasts. He continued the fight for almost 3-4 hours while protecting Rawin behind him and tired and barely able to attack. Amidst his killings, he noticed that there was no elder or tribe leader and only saw the elite tribesman whom he trained from their childhood. Even though their strength was weak they didn''t rhino much as they fought for the tribe which made the masked birdman happy that at least the new generation of the fire crow tribe was more loyal than the previous generation. ''Roar'' As he was thinking about all the things that had recently, he saw a peak rank 4 spirit beast that opened its mouth as though it wanted to eat him in one bite "Sigh...Where are you all," the masked birdman felt tired and didn''t have the strength to dodge the iing attack and gave up while sighing thinking about his family and friends. ''Let me rest now,'' He didn''t want to die yet but his mind kept on saying to sleep him. Finally, after continuous temptation from his mind, he gave in as his eyes started closing with tiredness. ''Hey, are you that tired. If so, give the person behind you and die,'' Just before he closed his eyespletely, he heard a loud young voice and abruptly opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene in front of him. The voice belonged to a young human that had a handsome face with pitch-ck hair and he was standing on the spirit beast that was trying to eat him alive just a few seconds back. Even though the masked birdman knew that the human in front of him was his saviour he maintained seriousness since he asked about Rawin. "I am just an orphan," AThe human looked at the masked birdman and nodded his head but no one knows why he was nodding his head. "Huh?" the masked birdman didn''t understand and asked, "I am asking, why are you interested in him?" The masked birdman didn''t care about the human much but what he cared about the reason behind him asking about Rawin. ording to the masked birdman, Rawin''s big brother was the hope of the fire crow tribe, so he must protect him at any cost. So, he looked at the human in front of him with a worried expression. "Haha¡­ I like your character and your loyalty to your tribe but¡­," the human stopped talking abruptly and knocked out the masked birdman with a simple attack before carrying towards a ce devoid of spirit beasts. The human was none other than Ajax who rushed towards helping the masked birdman after seeing him from the distance whereas his shadow clone rushed towards another direction to give a helping hand to others fire crow tribe members. To his surprise, Ajax saw a familiar face behind the masked birdman but it looked somewhat immature and sick. As soon as he saw the person who was being protected by the masked birdman''s huge wings, without a doubt Ajax was 100 percent sure that he was the little brother of Raweth that looked just like Raweth except this face had a sickly look on it. Also, while talking with the masked birdman, Ajax got a system alert that Rawin was in a critical situation and needed some healing, so he didn''t waste any time with the masked birdman and knocked him out before bringing him into a secluded ce. "it, Bane,e out," Without wasting a single second, Ajax summoned his earth and poison elemental spirits. ''Waiting for your orders, summoning master,'' As soon as he summoned them, two little kids around the 12-13 years old appeared in front of him and bowed to him. One little kid looked chubby and cute with pale brown colour skin and the other one looked thin and weak with azy look on his face. They were none other than it and Bane in their human forms respectively. "Bane, go and clear the spirit beasts around this area. it, use the earth shield guard me," Ajax didn''t wait for their reply after giving out his orders and before slowly taking Rawin out from the masked birdman''s huge wings. "Yes, summoning master," Both the elemental spirits replied to Ajax before following his orders. ''Whoosh'' The next second they replied, it used his skill and summoned a level 3 Earth shield that could protect them from the attacks of rank 5 or below spirit beasts. As for Bane, he summoned his viper and position scythe and started clearing the spirit beasts around the Earth shield. With the two elementalmander realm elemental spirit beasts taking care of the surrounding spirit beasts, Ajax was focusing on Rawin who was on hisst breath. ''I hope mini thunder pool''s water can help him heal from his sickness,'' Ajax thought as he looked at the new system notification in front of him. ''Ding, The host needs to hurry. The target can only hold on for another few moments. When he saw the notification, Ajax hurriedly took out water in a small cup and poured it into Rawin''s mouth. He didn''t stop there but sprinkled some water on his thin and pale body. ''Phew,'' After he used a couple of cups on Rawin and seeing that the sickly look on his face was vanishing slowly, Ajax heaved a sigh and sat on the ground and smiled. "What?" Just as he sat on the ground, the disappearing sickly look on Rawin''s face appeared once again, which gave Ajax quite a shock. ******** Chapter 325: Five Elemental poison

325 Five Elemental poison

ording to Ajax, ''Daughter of nature'' is a good skill but it was not useful for him at the moment. That skill would be useful when fighting as a group when the surroundings were filled with life elemental energy. Then she could continuously use her healing skills on the teammates providing them with endless heals. As for the other skill, ''Diagnosis eyes'' could be used at the moment but it won''t save Rawin since this skill could only identify the root of the illness. Nevertheless, Ajax wanted to use this skill first and know the root of the disease and next, he could use Spirus'' other healing skills which he thought would not have much effect on Rawin''s sickness. Soon, he summoned Spirus out of the inner world without hesitation. Since the time was ticking, Ajax wanted to use all his trump cards in saving Rawin. ''Swoosh'' After she came out of the inner world, Spirus immediately used her diagnosis eyes to find out what type of disease Rawin was suffering from. "Summoning master, it looks like some kind of poison is sucking his life energy from inside," It didn''t take much time for her to find out the source and she briefly exined about the poison in Rawin''s body. "Huh? Poison? Spirus, why are you looking exhausted all of sudden?" While exining it, Spirus looked tired and Ajax asked with a worried expression on his face. "When I used my diagnosis eyes to check the poison, it absorbed my life energy before I could even pull myself out of his body¡­.," Before she could exin what had happenedpletely, she lost consciousness and was about to fall onto the ground. However, Ajax caught her falling body in the nick of time and prevented her from falling onto the ground. When he caught her, his nose caught a nice fragrance from Spirus that made him lose focus for a second; however, he came back to his senses when he saw Spirus open her eyes all of a sudden. ''Thanks summoning master for preventing me from falling onto the ground,'' Spirus said in a low voice that was barely heard with a red face and hurriedly came out of Ajax''s embrace. ''Okay, take some rest,'' Spirus was not the only one with the red face, but Ajax''s face was even redder than Spirus and hurriedly sat down beside Rawin and continued the process of using the thunder pool''s water. ''What are you thinking, Ajax. You have a life to save first,'' Ajax''s heart was still beating very fast and he tried to calm himself down. "Raweth, you finally came back to the tribe," Just as he was calming himself, Ajax heard the unconscious masked birdman''s voice and immediately became alert; however after hearing his wordspletely, he put down his guard. "Uncle, thanks for protecting my little brother until now," Raweth cleared his tears from the eyes and thanked the masked birdman by calling him Uncle. "He is ¡­," "We don''t have much time," Before Raweth could say about Ajax, Ajax interjected as he saw that Rawin''s health was degenerating with each second. "Spirus do you know what type of poison is in his body?" Ajax quickly poured some water into Rawin''s mouth as he asked Spirus who was taking rest in a small distance. "Sorry summoning master, I don''t know what kind of poison it is since my new skill is still level 1," Spirus apologised Ajax as she was unable to identify the poison in Rawin''s body with her present skill level. "It''s¡­." "It''s five elemental poison," Just Ajax was about to say something he was intercepted by the masked birdman. "Five elemental poison?" Ajax felt that he heard this name before and after thinking for a moment, he remembered and asked, "You mean one of the top 10 poisons?" "Yes, it is one of the one poisons and It is only avable in this world," The masked birdman nodded his head and said to Ajax. In the beginning, he wanted to beat Ajax for knocking him down earlier; however, after seeing how Raweth was respectful towards Ajax, he removed that thought and exined about the five elemental poison. Although Ajax didn''t know much about the five elemental poison, he knew how powerful it was as he learned about its existence from Elder Boron. Soon, Ajax learned some more information about the five elemental position and got shocked. Because, the five elemental poison as its name suggests could absorb the five elements in the host body namely Fire, water, wind, earth and life elemental. ''So, when Spirus used her skill to check Rawin''s body, her life elemental essence of nature was absorbed by it,'' Ajax immediately found out the reason behind Spirus tiredness and looked at the masked birdman before asking, "How to save him then?" ''...'' When Raweth heard Ajax''s words, he felt something was wrong and looked at Ajax but didn''t ask anything and looked at the masked birdman. "I think it''s impossible now," The masked birdman sighed as he shook his head. "Fool, first say how to cure him. Whether it is possible or not I will take care of it," Ajax became angry all of a sudden when he looked at the sighing masked birdman. Until now, he was the one who didn''t have confidence in saving Rawin; however, just when he was getting some confidence back the masked birdman''s behaviour made him decrease that confidence, so Ajax was angry at him. "Youu.." Although the masked birdman was angry at Ajax for calling him a fool, he suppressed it as he knew that he was wrong by saying those words, so he calmed himself and said, " If old priest''s poison sucking wand is here, then it would have been easy for us to save him. Unfortunately, he was killed by that damned Krico for trying to save your little brother." "What?" Raweth seriously shouted at the masked birdman when he heard his words. "Yes, Raweth. Krico killed the old priest and stored that wand somewhere in the tribe," The masked birdman didn''t say much and only said about Krico killing the old priest because he saw Raweth''s eyes turned blood red just when he said that Krico stopped the old priest from saving Rawin. So, he didn''t want to talk about his past. "Calm down Krico, there is no use in getting angry on a dead person," Ajax patted Raweth''s shoulder and calmed him down since the most important matter now was to save his little brother. Raweth understood Ajax''s words and calmed down a little before looking at his little brother''s pale face. "Which element-type that elemental spirit belongs to?" Just as Ajax was thinking very hard to save Raweth''s little brother, he heard the masked birdman''s voice and turned to look in the direction he pointed. "Huh? He belongs to the poison type but he doesn''t have any skills to absorb the poison from others," Ajax looked at Bane, who was fighting the surrounding spirit beasts and shook his head. "No problem, I have a way to make him do that," The masked birdman immediately stood up with an excited face and looked at Ajax. Chapter 326: One shock after another

326 One shock after another

There were many poisons in various worlds from ancient times and among them some poisons were limited to specific worlds. In ancient times, one poison cultivator ventured into different worlds in the search of various poisons and to study them. Due to his very high cultivation, he was able to venture different worlds without much difficulty and along with his long life span, he was able to venture 100 worlds and collected the information about various poisons in those 100 worlds. With that data, he selected 10 poisons from all the poisons he collected and gave them a ranking from one to ten. In that rankings, the five elemental poison was able to get a rank 5. From that, one can understand how powerful that the five elemental poison was. So, Ajax didn''t understand how Raweth''s little brother was able to withstand that powerful poison and wondered who was that cruel to use it on Rawin who still looked innocent and hadn''t lost his childhood innocence. "What is that?" Keeping those wandering thoughts in his head to a side, he asked the masked birdman about the way to save Rawin. "When I was on a mission, I found an inheritance that was rted to a poison cultivator," The masked birdman hurriedly started his exnation as he continued, "Although I didn''t find any poison-rted skill, I found this." While talking about the inheritance, the masked birdman took out a light green coloured with hints of ck dots in it, from his space ring and threw it at Ajax. ''What?'' Ajax immediately recognized the crystal-like stone with a shocked expression on his face and at the same time, the system notification rang in his head. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental spirit stone Elemental type:- Poison Grade:- Elitemander realm. The reason for his shock was that the poison elemental spirits were very rare even in the Elemental spirit world and the masked birdman was able to find a poison elemental spirit stone in the five elemental world. "We can try it," Ajax nodded his head and immediately called Bane. Even though there was a small chance of Bane gaining a poison absorption skill, Ajax wanted to try it. "Summoning master," Within a few seconds, Bane appeared in front of Ajax and bowed. Generally, Bane had a carefree attitude but he could judge that the present situation was not good to be carefree and acted as a loyal elemental spirit. "Consume it and breakthrough to Elemental Elite Spirit Commander Realm," Ajax was satisfied with Bane''s attitude with the present situation and casually threw the elemental spirit stone at Ajax. "Thank you, summoning master," Bane was excited and immediately consumed without asking any questions. As soon as he consumed the elemental spirit stone, Ajax got an unexpected system notification making him worried. The host''s elemental spirit, Bane consumed an elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, Checking the requirements for breakthrough using Elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, Sufficient foundation in the elemental spiritmander realm Note:- Since he learned the way of poison, his cultivation foundation is stabilized. 5000 units of the essence of nature Note:- The host needs to pay the required essence of nature. ''Ding, Do you allow the elemental spirit to break through to the elite spiritmander realm? ''What the hell!'' Ajax was shocked by the system notifications but decided to check themter as Rawin doesn''t have much time. ''Yes'' Ajax epted the system notification and observed Bane. Just as he said ''Yes'', Ajax saw Bane''s transparent body shining brightly and along with the light, his body also growing very slowly. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host. His elemental spirit has levelled up to level 1 of the elemental spiritmander realm. After his breakthrough to the elemental elite spiritmander realm, Bane''s height increased by a few inches and his face had a cunning look on it now. ''It''s quicker than I thought,'' Ajax thought in his head before checking Bane''s new skills. Ajax didn''t know whether it was his luck or heavens helping him, but the upgrade of the elemental spirit was much quicker this time whenpared to the previous time. Soon another system notification came and the holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Skills:-?Poison mist (level 4), Poison scythe (level 3), Viper (Level 2), Poison domain (Level 1) Inherent skill:- Poison control. "Huh?" Ajax confidence increased when he saw the inherent skill ''Poison control''. So, he immediately checked the single inherent skill. ''Ding, Inherent skill:- Poison control (Level 1). Description:- The elemental spirit can now control various poison depending on his strength. ''Yes, this is what I wanted exactly,'' Ajax was excited and hurriedly ordered Bane while pointing his finger at the unconscious Rawin, ''Bane, remove the five elemental poison from his body.'' ''Yes, summoning master,'' Bane was also filled with excitement to test his new skills and without any dy, he bent down beside Rawin. Bane ced his two thin hands-on Rawin''s dantian and closed his eyes. Ajax and others didn''t dare to look inside Rawin''s body as the five elemental poison might absorb all their elemental essence. So they patiently waited for Bane to do his thing. Raweth sprinkled some thunder pool''s water once in a while as per Ajax''s order. "Damn Krico, because of you, the whole fire crow tribe is getting destroyed," The masked birdman looked at the destroyed buildings in the tribe and cursed Krico. "If I was stronger, I would have killed him by now. Unfortunately, he is still alive...sigh," He shook his head and sighed. While saying those words, the birdman''s mask waspletely covered by tears and became wet; still, he didn''t take off that mask from his face. "No need to worry, he already died in the lightning Hawk tribe," Ajax felt bad about his previous behaviour with the masked birdman and briefly exined about what happened in the lightning hawk tribe and the death of Krico. "What? He died?" The masked birdman looked at Ajax and asked him; however, before Ajax could confirm Krico''s death, the masked birdman continued, "He is not dead. He is alive and well." The masked birdman shook his head as he looked at the tribe leader''s house in the distance that was built on the top of the mountain and still standing majestically in front of the spirit beast horde. "What? He died in front of my own eyes," Ajax didn''t understand why the masked birdman was not believing his words about Krico''s death. "If he is really dead, then there would not be any barrier around the tribe leader''s house and it would have been destroyed by the spirit beasts a few hours ago," The masked birdman chuckled at Ajax as he pointed his finger at the majestic tribe leader''s house. "What?" "What?" As soon as the masked birdman finished those words, two ''What?'' came as a reply. One from Ajax and another one was from Raweth, who was sprinkling water on his little brother. "Evi..." "Summoning master, the poison is very strong and I am only able to control it for a few seconds before it bes violet," Before the masked birdman said something, he was interjected by Bane as he briefed him about his poison''s control to Ajax. "What? Why is this happening to me?" Ajax''s thoughts were shaken with Bane''s words and immediately clutched his head while saying, ''No, no, no.'' Chapter 329: Breaking the Barrier

329 Breaking the Barrier

''Thud'' With a loud sound, both Ajax and the masked birdman fell into a dark room. "Ouch," Ajax rubbed his head as he looked at his surroundings which had barely enough light to look a few meters around him. In front of him, the masked birdman also stood up and checked his surroundings with a me in his hands and immediately bowed before saying, "Grand Elder, what are you doing here?" Ajax looked in the masked birdman''s direction and noticed there were a group of old and middle-age birdmen sitting cross-legged. "Huh? What are you doing here, Captain of the 15 crows?" The old man at the front stood up from the ground as he replied to the masked birdman with a question. "I came to kill that damn tribe leader of ours," the masked birdman gritted his teeth as he said to the Grand Elder of the fire crow tribe. "Did hee back to the tribe?" a middle-aged birdman beside the Grand Elder, hurriedly asked with an anxious voice. "Yes, I think his body is destroyed in the fight with the Hawk tribe leader and but his spirit might be hiding in this house since the barrier around the tribe leader''s house is still intact," The masked birdman looked at the elder, who asked the question and briefly exined the events that had happened in the Hawk tribe. "Then we might have a chance to break this barrier that is blocking us from going out," the Grand Elder looked excited after hearing the masked birdman''s words and immediately took out a rhombus-shaped wooden token that had weird markings. After hearing the Grand Elder''s words, the masked birdman didn''t ask any questions as he was able to understand why all the elders and grand elders were struck here and looked at the wooden token in the Grand Elder''s hands. "Every one, take out your tokens," The Grand Elder closed his eyes before ordering the other tribe members around him. Soon, every elder and even the masked birdman took out a simr-looking token from his space ring. "Transfer all your energy into the token before transmitting that energy towards my wooden token, when I ask you. Do you understand?" The Grand Elder''s voice sounded very serious making all those present in the dark room shudder. "Yes, Grand Elder," Except for Ajax, everyone nodded their head and followed the Grand Elder''s words. ''Woah, looks like something is going to happen here,'' Ajax''s interest in their actions increased and expectantly looked at them. "Now, transfer that energy to me," The Grand Elder''s voice shook the silent dark room once again as the energy beams from all the wooden tokens shot towards the Grand Elder''s wooden token. "Boomm" As soon as all the energy entered into the Grand Elder''s wooden token, a much bigger than the previous small energy beams shot towards the barrier and made a hole in it. "Yay" Just as the barrier disappeared Ajax excitedly shouted; however, he soon remembered he was surrounded by a bunch of fire crow oldies and covered his mouth. "By the way, who is this human brat?" One of the elders curiously asked about Ajax. "He is the one who saved Raweth and brought him back to our tribe," The masked birdman didn''t inform about Ajax''s details much but introduced him in simple words. "Oh, good," When they heard the masked birdman''s words, all of them nodded their heads and felt grateful. Everyone in the fire crow tribe knows how important Raweth was for their tribe and when they heard that he was being on a mission for a few months, they were worried. Since Ajax saved their tribe''s hope, they felt grateful but they were in a hurry and were unable to thank him properly before rushing out of the room. ''Uff¡­,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and scolded himself for losing focus on his surroundings. The reason he excitedly shouted was that he finally saw the system notification he awaited and it appeared at the same time when the barrier was destroyed by the elders. After seeing that notification he was very excited that he could finally leave this five elemental world and go back to the captain Edmond and others. So, he unconsciously shouted out loud making other elders pay attention to him. As all the fire crow tribe members were moving towards the door, Ajax followed them while checking the previous system notification. ''Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the mission ''Save Raweth''s little brother''. So, the host can leave the five elemental world. ''Finally, I can leave the five elemental world, but Elder Qwerek said he wants to talk to me about something,'' Ajax thought back to the time when he left the Hawk tribe in a hurry and shook his head before asking the system, ''System, can I stay a little longer here?'' Even though he wanted to leave the five elemental world, somewhere inside his heart, he wanted to stay and let his elemental spirits and himself train in the five elemental world for a few more days. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Since the host went through great trouble for a ''B'' danger rating mission, the system can give three time periods to stay in the five elemental world. Please select one of them. A single day. Five days Ten days. ''Huh? Interesting...interesting,'' Ajax nodded his head for such a considerate system. After thinking for a moment he said, "System, I choose to stay 10 days here." The reason he chose that ten even though he wanted to return back to the human world was that he remembered the previous mission reward about bing a rank 4 alchemy master with the system help. So, he decided to stay in the five elemental world, since the alchemy ingredients in the five elemental world were easier to get than the human world. ''Ding, The host''s stay in the five elemental world has extended to 10 days. Note:- The host can not leave the five elemental world in these 10 days. ''Okay, I am only staying an extra 10 hours. So there is nothing to worry,'' Ajax thought and calcted that total time he was staying in the five elemental world with the human world. Even though it''s been two days in the five elemental world, only two hours have passed in the human world and even with the additional ten-day stay in the five elemental world, Ajax would be away from Captain Edmond for only 12 hours. So, Ajax was not worried and decided to stay in the five elemental world. ''I can leave the five elemental world with rank 4 alchemy master''s knowledge...Haha'' Just thinking about his alchemy master''s rank made Ajax satisfied and made himugh. He soon suppressed his happiness inside his heart and followed the elders towards the door. However, just before they opened the door, the door opened itself and a ck silhouette entered the room and said in a low ghost voice, "Hello, my dear elders. Where do you think you are going?" Chapter 330: Red Wooden Seal

330 Red Wooden Seal

"Krico, you already lost your body. So stop being an idiot and give the tribe leader seal to Raweth," The Grand Elder looked very calm but his voice was very serious. The ck shadow was none other than the fire crow tribe leader, Krico. All the elders were easily able to recognize him due to his voice. "Huh? So, you all knew about it," The ck shadow unconsciously looked at Ajax and said, "So, you are the one...hehe." Krico remembered Ajax from the Hawk tribe and eerilyughed while ncing at him. "So what? If I lose a body, I still have my spirit and I can make another body myself," Krico scoffed at the Grand Elder and others. "I know you found a demonic inheritance but I suggest you hand over the seal to Raweth, who has the highest level of purified bloodline," Grand Elder looked at the ck shadow and said with a rxed expression on his face. From the masked birdman, the Grand Elder got updated that there was nothing to worry about outside of the tribe leader''s house as there were only few spirit beasts and that was being taken care of by Raweth and other tribesmen. So, the Grand Elder was in a rxed mood and pressured Krico with his calmness. ''I think this old fool might have a way to deal with me,'' When he saw the calmness on the Grand Elder''s face, Krico felt uneasy. However, he said, "I finally understood your worry...Haha," the ck shadow startedughing and continued, "Since I can live forever with my demonic technique, you are fearing me and don''t want me as a tribe leader." Krico''s words made everyone in the dark room raise their brows as though they didn''t understand what he was saying. "Don''t act like you don''t know about it, Old Elder," The ck shadow became angry when it saw the expressions on all the elders. "I know that you can create a body after your original body is destroyed and also know that you can continuously repeat that process, but I never feared about that," the Grand Elder shook his words and while sighing he said, "I am more worried about your ambition for which you will even destroy your own tribe for it. So, I am asking you for a final time, hand over the seal and get out of the Fire Crow tribe." "Youu," When he heard those words, Krico became angry but suppressed it as he knew that he was presently in a very weak state and the Grand Elder could destroy his spirit if he was careless for even one second. ''What the hell!'' Ajax was shocked to hear those words and his understanding about life hadpletely changed. ording to his previous knowledge, one could escape from his body in the spirit consciousness form only after that cultivator reached King realm in either body cultivation or spirit cultivation. ''It is said that Krico found a demonic inheritance in one of his adventures and gained a secret technique that can allow him to escape his true body in his spirit consciousness form and it also allows him to continuously create a new body for his spirit to reside,'' Just as he was confused with Krico and Grand Elder''s conversation, Ajax heard the masked birdman''s voice in his head which exined about Krico''s secret technique. ''Woah, that''s a good technique to have,'' Ajax replied to the masked birdman in the same voice transmission method. ''You still don''t understand it properly. Let me exin it clearly, then say the same words you said to me just now,'' the masked birdman shook his head and looked at Ajax while continuing, ''Every time he creates a body, he has to sacrifice his tribe members. For the first time, he needs to sacrifice 1000 members, for the second time he needs 2000 and it continues to increase with each time he creates a new body for himself. Now say me, is it a good technique?'' After saying about the demonic skill in detail, Ajax understood the Grand Elder''s worry towards Krico and wanted him to leave the fire crow tribe. ''It''s really a demonic technique,'' Ajax shook his head and agreed with the masked birdman and looked at the ck shadow. "Hahaha...Leave? Why will I leave the tribe when I am the one, who is leading it?" Kricoughed as he replied to the Grand Elder in a mocking tone. "If you don''t leave, then please don''t mind that I will kill you," As Krico was one of his own tribe members, the Grand Elder didn''t want to kill Krico''s spirit consciousness form which barely had any strength. "Haha...Please, Grand Elder, don''t make meugh with your jokes. I know that I am weak and can''t fight against you but I still have the tribe leader seal and I am invincible in this house," Krico continued tough as he took out a red wooden seal that was much bigger than the Grand Elder''s wooden seal. "You still don''t understand how that wooden seal works, Kid," the Grand Elder looked at the ck shadow and shook his head. "What? Who are you calling a Kid...damn old bastard," Krico got angry when he heard the Grand Elder''s words and immediately pointed his red wooden seal at the Grand Elder and said, "Die, now." As soon as he said that, a beam of red light came out fo the red wooden seal and shot towards the Grand Elder. However, just before the beam of light touched Grand Elder, he vanished into thin air. "What?" Krico was shocked to see that his attack failed and what puzzled him the most was he still didn''t know the reason why the attack failed on the Grand Elder. "Let me clear your confusion," Grand Elder looked at the ck shadow and smilingly said, "The moment, your body was destroyed, the tribe leader''s seal in your hand lost half of its original power and with the power from other elder wooden seals and captain of the 15 crows'' wooden seal, my wooden seal became much more powerful and the current tribe leader seal. Unless it is passed onto a suitable candidate, it will destroy in a few days and along with it, our tribe bes a thing of the past." In the fire crow tribe, every tribe member in the upper echelon had a wooden seal with them that were passed from the ancient times and along with the time, they forgot the uses of the wooden seals except for a few. Nevertheless, all the upper echelon of the fire tribe was satisfied with their use but still, they never stopped researching about their own seals. The Grand Elder was the oldest one among the present upper echelon of the fire tribe and most knowledgable about those seals, so he was pretty much confident after he learned about Krico''s body. "What?" The ck shadow looked at the red wooden seal in its hand and threw it toward the Grand Elder and said, "I will leave the tribe then." ''Catches'' "Hehe," The Grand Elder cunninglyughed after catching the red-wooden seal which made Krico anxious. Chapter 331: Raweths decision

331 Raweth''s decision

Before throwing the red-wooden seal at the Grand Elder, Krico thought, ''Just wait, I wille back after I created a body, then I will kill you with my own hands.'' However, after seeing the Grand Elder''s cunningugh, Krico felt that there was something wrong with the Grand Elder and hurriedly tried to escape. But, who would have thought that his spirit consciousness form was unable to move even an inch as he was fixated to the ground. "Where are you going, Krico?" Grand Elder walked towards the immovable ck shadow as he said in a smooth voice that made Krico shiver. "What are you doing, Grand Elder. You said you will not do anything to me," The ck shadow said while gritting its teeth. "Yes, as I promised I will not do a thing to you. I am right, Kid?" The Grand Elder looked at the masked birdman and asked him. "Yes, Grand leader. You are right," The masked birdman walked towards Krico while taking a sharp dagger out of his space ring. "Brother, you can''t kill me. Did you forget the day we swore to the heavens about being brothers?" Krico''s spirit consciousness was shaking with masked birdman''s each step. "I remember that day and still feel shame on me for that swearing under the heavens," The masked birdman said with an ugly expression on his face as he continued, "But don''t worry, I will not kill you." ''Creak'' As soon as he said those words, two young men walked into the room that looked almost identical but their heights were different. One youth had a height of 2 meters and another one had more than one and a half meters. Another difference was there were medium-sized ck wings behind the smaller one and whereas the tall one had no wings; instead, he had two small wing tattoos behind him. "Raweth, help me. These elders are trying to rebel¡­..," As soon as he saw the two young men, the ck shadow was shocked to see the short young men but he suppressed the shock and looked at the tall young man and shouted at him. However, before he couldplete his sentence, he was interjected by Raweth, "Stop your acting. I was a fool to believe your every word from my childhood but finally, I got to know the real you in the Hawk tribe." "A tribe leader should care for his tribe at any cost but you left the tribe and went to challenge your rival," Raweth continued to point out his mistakes and made Krico feel shame. "Stop lecturing your own father, Raweth," Krico was unable to take Raweth''s lesson anymore as he angrily shouted at Raweth. "Huh?" Raweth and Rawin were shocked at Krico''s words and looked at the ck shadow. "That''s right, I am your blood father. So, please help me stop those Elders from killing me," The ck shadow begged Raweth as it controlled his anger. ''What is he talking about?'' How can he be my father?'' ''Then why did he leave Rawin in the tribe when it was attacked by the spirit beasts?'' In Raweth''s mind, various questions lingered as he thought back to past events and felt unbelievable at his words. "Raweth, didn''t I order all the tribe resources for you to cultivate and also, sent all the medicinal herbs and potions to your little brother to save him from the sickness," Krico noticed that Raweth stopped moving, so he started his final trump card. When he heard Krico''s final sentence, Raweth felt that it was cruel to kill the one who helped his little brother and decided to ask the Grand Elders and others to let him leave. "Since you helped me and my little from childhood¡­..," "Raweth, it is not him, who helped your little brother. It was our old priest, who ordered all the upper echelon. Speaking more frankly, it was him, who poisoned your mother and little brother," Before Raweth could finish his sentence, he was intercepted by the masked birdman and briefly said about Krico''s past events of poisoning Raweth''s mother and old priest''s prophecy. "What?" Raweth''s body emitted?dark red mes as soon as he heard the masked birdman''s words and looked at the ck shadow before asking, "Is it true?" ''No, no no...they are all trying to kill me. Raweth did you forget how much I helped you to be stronger,'' Krico became anxious when he sensed the dark red mes from Raweth and hurriedly mentioned some of their past events to calm Raweth. "So, you want power, right? Then take it," Raweth didn''t hear Krico''s words as he finally understood why his brother was barely left alive and walked towards the ck shadow that was fixated to the ground and said before pointing his hand at it. ''You want power from me, So take it,'' As soon as he said that, the fire entered into the ck shadow and the ck shadow started growing in size. "Yes, this is what I want¡­..hahaha," To everyone''s surprise, they heard Krico''s joyful voice. ''What is he doing?'' ''Why is he supplying his life force to him?'' ''It will be bad if he escapes from here today,'' All the elders looked at Raweth''s actions and puzzled as they didn''t understand why Raweth was transferring his life force to Krico and they wanted to stop him. ''Just watch. Don''t think about anything,'' However, they were stopped by the Grand Elder before they could even move. "Yes, Grand Elder," Even though they didn''t understand why the Grand Elder asked them to stop moving, they followed his orders and watched the scene in front of them. "Just a little more and I can escape from here...haha," Krico didn''t hide about his actions as he looked at the idle elders andughed. "Yes, another 3 seconds¡­.3...2...1," As soon as he said 1, Krico''s spirit consciousness form sted by the fire energy sent by Raweth and vanished into the thin air. From the moment, Raweth and his little brother entered the dark room, Ajax didn''t say or order him anything and left all the decisions to Raweth as he didn''t want to intervene in his matters. However, he felt sad after hearing about Krico''s actions towards Raweth''s mother from masked birdman''s words and wanted to kill him even if Raweth decided to let him live. However, after seeing Raweth''s way of killing, Ajax nodded his head and thought, ''you wanted to gain power through killing your own child and now you are killed by the same power you wanted so badly that you didn''t even care about your tribe.'' As soon as Krico died, Ajax got a system notification, ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast killed an evolved adult fire crow''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Gained one spirit point. ''Huh?'' Ajax was not surprised by the first system notification but the second one piqued his interest as he didn''t know what was a ''spirit point''. Chapter 332: Master?

332 Master?

''System, what is this spirit point?'' Ajax asked the system about the reward he gained from killing Krico''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host needs high cultivation to use it. "Huh? Okay. But at least say its use," Ajax nodded his head and asked the system about its use. However, there was no reply from the system making Ajax speechless. ''If you don''t want to say about its use, then why reward it to me,'' After saying that he didn''t bother with the system and looked at Raweth, who was crying while looking at a small pendant in his hands. As for what reason, he was crying no one knows. ''Sigh¡­,'' Ajax looked at him and walked towards him to console him. But, before he could take a couple of steps, he stopped as he looked at Rawin, who had the same type of pendant in his hands. "Brother, you didn''t do anything wrong and don''t feel guilty about killing him," His little brother Rawin patted his shoulder and continued, "The reason I asked you to kill him because I know about his true nature after you left the tribe for a couple of months." Earlier, Raweth was unable to kill Krico as he was the one who trained him from his young age and made him powerful. Just when his thoughts were contradicting one another, he heard his little brother''s voice in his head and said ''Brother, kill him''. As soon as he heard his little brother''s?immature voice that had a hint of hatred in it, he didn''t hesitate a second in killing Krico. Even though he killed Krico, Raweth felt sad since Krico was his idol. When he saw Raweth''s crying face, his brother Rawin said something while consoling him, "When you have disappeared for a few months, he came to see me regrly to curse me and what made me even more worried is he wanted to kill you and get your bloodline and talent. He thought I was unconscious and revealed all his ns in front of me," Rawin said with a sigh in his innocent voice. Although Rawin looked like a 15-year old youth, his real age was less than 10 years. Due to various medicinal herbs and some unknown factors, his bloodline purity had already crossed the 50 percent mark. If he was not poisoned, he would be the suitable candidate for the fire crow tribe''s childe. "So, all the words, the uncle said are true," Raweth shouted out loud and his previous sadness disappeared. Previously he didn''t believe the masked birdman''s wordspletely as his mind went crazy after learning some hidden things about his past and another thing was his mind told him to believe Krico as he used to follow Krico''s orders from his childhood. So, his mind unconsciously wanted to agree with Krico''s words but his little brother''s words ovepped those thoughts and killed Krico. "...." The masked birdman was speechless. "...." Grand Elder and other Elders were speechless. ''Whatever, all things went good,'' Ajax didn''t bother about those thoughts and said to Raweth, "Raweth, you stay here and take care of your tribe. I will go to the Hawk tribe" Since hepleted the mission, Ajax wanted to go back to the Hawk tribe and be the rank 4 alchemy master as soon as possible. After that, he could venture the five elemental world a little more before leaving for the human world. "Young master, if you need me for anything, please order me through the spirit contract," Raweth kneeled on the single knee and bowed in front of Ajax. He was extremely grateful to Ajax and understood the meaning behind his words. Since the fire crow tribe was already destroyed by more than 50 percent, Ajax wanted Raweth to settle the things in the fire crow tribe. "Sure, I am going now," Ajax nodded his head and walked out of the dark room. "Raweth, why are you kneeling in front of a human?" "We know, he saved you but you need not bow to him as you are the tribe leader now," "It is degrading our fire crows pride," After Ajax left the dark room, except for the Grand Elder and the masked birdman everyone shouted at Raweth for kneeling on one knee in front of Ajax. "I forgot to mention, he is my master with whom I made a spirit contract," Raweth didn''t feel angry towards the Elders as it wasmon teaching of every fire crow child to not to bow in front of others. However, ording to Raweth, Ajax helped him a lot so that he could not repay him even if he died protecting him. From saving his life from the hands of the older birdman to saving his little brother''s life from the five elemental poison and not to mention the fifty percent inheritance he received from him, he felt it was a small thing to bow in front of his master. "What?" "You formed a contract with a human?" "Damn, did you forget how cunning humans are?" All the five elders anxiously shouted at Raweth when they heard his words about spirit contract. "Did he force you to form a spirit contract with him. If so, then I have a way to break the spirit contract," Unlike other elders, the Grand Elder didn''t be anxious; instead he calmly asked Raweth. "Huh?" When they heard the Grand Elders'' words, all the Elders became shocked as it was the first time they heard that a spirit contract could be broken. Generally, it was impossible to break a spirit contract between a spirit beast and other beings. So they were shocked to hear Grand Elder''s words and expectantly looked at Raweth. "No, no...Grand Elder, I willingly became his contracted spirit beast," Raweth shook his head as he rejected the Grand Elder''s offer to break the spirit contract. Hearing his reply, not only elders but Grand Elder also looked disappointed in Raweth but he maintained his smile and said, "Raweth, take Rawin and test in one of the tribe leader''s rooms." "Yes, Elder," Raweth, also wanted to talk with his little brother alone for some time as it had been more than a couple of months since hest talked with his brother. After that paying his respects to all the elders, he turned around to leave the dark room. However, just when he was about to leave the room, the Grand Elder said, "Since you don''t want to break the contract with that human, I and other elders don''t allow you to be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe." "In the past, I wanted to be powerful only to save my little brother. Now, he is all cured and well. So, I don''t want any power," Raweth nonchntly replied while closing the door of the dark room. What he said was really true. From a young age, he followed Krico''s orders to be powerful, so that he could save his little brother. Now, he doesn''t want any power or anything. "Huh..One more thing, if the tribe needs any help, I will never hesitate to help it," Raweth came back and said before leaving the dark room for real this time. Chapter 333: Demi King Realm Essence Gem

333 Demi King Realm Essence Gem

"This kid¡­..sigh," Grand Elder shook his head at Raweth''s words and looked at the other elders before saying, "Don''t try your tricks on him and let him stay as he wishes." "Yes, Grand Elder," All the Elders nodded their heads in reply. The reason the Grand Elder ordered them was that he knew how these elders were and what they would do for the sake of the tribe. So, he asked them to not try anything. Next, he looked at the masked birdman and asked, "Do you know about that human kid?" "I just met him a few minutes ago beforeing here," The masked birdman shook his head and continued, "But, he is a summoner and at the same time he doesn''t belong to the summoners'' group." "Huh? A summoner?" Grand Elder surprised for a moment and nodded his head, he continued, "Maybe it''s a good thing for Raweth to venture to other worlds." "Okay, you heard him. He is not a regr human, so don''t do anything funny lest you get exiled by the tribe," After saying that he looked at the five elders and chuckled. "Yes, Grand Elder," This time, all the elders seriously replied to him. Previously, they wanted to do something to Ajax for making his tribe''s childe a contracted spirit beast. However, after learning that he might have a great background they didn''t want to do anything funny and heaved a sigh of relief. "All the elders, we have a lot of work to do now. Let''s go," After seeing their expressions the Grand Elder stored the tribe leader seal along with his seal into his space ring and slowly said before rushing out. The meaning behind a lot of work means, they have to restructure the fire crow tribe once again andpensate the warriors you had fallen fighting the spirit beasts. So he didn''t waste any time and rushed out. The rest of the elders also followed him with sad faces thinking how many tribesmen had lost their lives in this spirit beast horde. ''This idiot Krico was never interested in the tribe rted things which made us escape from him,'' While they were walking out of the tribe leader''s house, the Grand Elder thought and shook his head. Actually what the Grand Elder said to Krico about the red wooden seal was not entirely true. Due to the power from all the elders'' seals, he was barely about to escape the red wooden seal''s attack and with his quick wits, he was able to trick him. If he even thought about attacking once again, all the elders would have lost their lives in the hands of Krico. Most importantly the reason for Krico''s confidence ining in his spirit consciousness form was also because of that red wooden seal. So, when he heard the Grand Elder''s words and along with his calmness, he wanted to trade his life for the red wooden seal. However, that cost him his life. If he knew that he was tricked by the Grand Elder, he would definitely cry in his afterlife. "Ok, go ahead." The Grand Elder nodded his head at him before looking at the elders and said, "All the elders, split and gather all the fire crow tribesmen here." "Yes, Grand Elder," All the elders and the masked birdman disappeared from their ces leaving him alone. ..... At the entrance of the fire crow tribe, "Do you want to stay outside or inside the inner world?" Ajax looked at his three-four elemental spirits and asked for their opinion. "I want to stay out," All four elemental spirits, Volcanis, Spirus, it and Bane wanted to stay out as they wanted to rx while observing the five elemental world. "Sure," Ajax doesn''t have a problem with them since everyone could transform into human forms. "Twilight,e out," Ajax just wanted to fly to the Hawk tribe directly; instead of travelling on the ground. As soon as said that a huge purple coloured dragon appeared out of nowhere andnded in front of Ajax and his elemental spirits. ''Roar,'' Without wasting any time, the dragon caught Ajax with its ws and threw him into the air. "Waaaah" Ajax was unable to react in time and shouted while spinning in the air. ''Catch me...someone catch me,'' Ajax wanted to say this but he was unable to say due to his spinning. However, he was not much time in the air and fell towards the ground with incredible speed. Just before he hit the ground, he was caught by Twilight. "Twilight...please don''t do it like this next time...okay?" Ajax said in a weak voice before he was once again thrown into the air. But this time, hended on twilight''s back, so he didn''t say anything and rested on its back. The rest of the elemental spirits looked at each other before mounting Twilight. ''Twilight, go to this ce,'' After everyone mounted, Ajax transmitted an image of the location to it through the spirit contract. ''Roar,'' Twilight roared as though it understood and flew into the air. The image he shared with the dragon was the location of the infernal spirit''s home which was shared to him through the same method. The reason he shared it was because he promised the infernal spirit to save its life partner by improving its bloodline purity using the mid-grade primitive stone. So, before going to the Hawk tribe, he wanted to fulfil his promise and save it. "By?the way, I have a lot of new rewards and things to check. Since I don''t have anything to do now, I will check them," After sharing the location with the dragon, Ajax wanted to check the things he recently gained from the system forpleting the missions and other things. ''Let''s start with the older birdman''s killing rewards,'' The first thing he chose to check were the items he gained from killing the older birdman. "System, show me the details of the items I gained from killing the older birdman," He asked the system while looking at the blue sky. As for his elemental spirits, they were also enjoying the surrounding sceneries from Twilight''s back. ''Ding, Item name:- Demi King realm essence gem. Use:- When consumed it can help break through the major cultivation realms (Minor realms also). Note:- 1) Can only be used by spirit beasts of the fire element. 2) Strength needed to be peak rank 5 Description:- The essence gem of the being that almost touched the King realm but due to the five elemental word''s restrictions, he could not enter the King realm; however, his strength is much greater than any peak level 10 elite general cultivators. "It''s a good item but the restrictions are great," Although the essence of the demi King realm spirit beast (Evolved) looked great, it needed time for him to use it on one of his spirit beasts. ''Ding, Do you want to open a special reward box? Soon another reward for killing the older birdman appeared in front him. Chapter 334: Lava Stone

334 Lava Stone

When he killed the older birdman, he got three rewards. The first reward was 10000 units of the essence of nature which he transferred to the inner world to increase its richness in the essence of nature. The second reward was the demi king realm essence gem, which he just checked. The final reward was an additional reward for killing a Demi King realm cultivator and it was a special reward box. ''Should I open it or store it for an emergency case?'' When he saw the system notification, Ajaxa''s first thought was whether to open it or not? Since it was known that a special reward box would give a required item that would help him for his present situation. So, after thinking for a moment, he decided to not use it. ''Instead, I will open the two mysterious reward boxes from the missions,'' He quickly shifted the boxes from special to mysterious rewards box which would give a random item. At present, he had two mysterious reward boxes in his inventory, which he gained frompleting the two missions, ''Save Rawin'' and ''Upgrade first four elemental spirits''. ''Ding, Do you want to open the mysterious reward box? Yes/No "Yes," Ajax nodded his head and soon the transparent gift box in front of him opened and a small pill came out of it. On the pill, there was a demon face that looked just like Zanath''s face. ''Ding, The host received a Demon transformation pill that allows the host to transform into a demon for an hour and even Demon kings will find it hard to recognize your true form. "Huh? It is good but I don''t have a way to enter the demon world. I think this pill also goes into inventory for future use," Ajax was neither happy nor sad at the Demon transformation pill as he already had no expectations from the mysterious rewards box. "Open another one," Throwing the demon transformation pill into the inventory, he opened another mysterious reward box. ''Ding, The host received a 10 million low-level spirit stones "What?" Ajax, who was resting on his back, stood up immediately and rubbed his eyes to check the words on the holographic screen in front of him. "It''s real...real," Ajax was excited as his face was filled with smiles. One would be most excited when they least expect something. So, Ajax, who was least expectant of the mysterious reward box was excited to see the ten million spirit stones. "With these, I can go to the dimension crevice and buy primitive stones and other things," Ajax talked to himself while all the elemental spirit watched him curiously. Although Ajax got many things from the system, they were all random and he didn''t want to depend on the system too much when he faced a desperate situation. So, with this many spirit stones, he could buy some high-level items that could help in that difficult crisis. All the elemental spirits, except for it resumed their previous work after Ajax''s order. "Big brother, why are you so excited?" it asked him with a cute smile on his face. "Nothing, Big brother just struck a lottery," Ajax briefly said before resting. "Ok, at least, this mysterious reward box gave some good reward," Ajax muttered as he looked at the other things he gained recently. ''I can use the alchemy guide by the system after reaching the hawk tribe. So, I can use the lottery tab now,'' He finally came to the lottery tab. In the lottery tab, he had some chances to spin the roulette and he didn''t even recognize where he got that many. ''Does it matter? As long as I get some good items, it''s enough,'' Ajax didn''t bother about where he got the lottery chances. There were three normal chances and one special one which he got from the recent mission. ''I will use the special one then,'' Ajax thought in his mind and he was about to ask the system about it. However, Twilightnded on the ground abruptly which made his ns halt for a moment. ''Oh..we are here?'' Ajax didn''t need to ask why itnded on the ground as they reached the location Ajax wanted to reach. "Kitty,e out" Without any dy, he summoned the infernal spirit. "Roar" As soon as it came out, the infernal spirit roared at Ajax before rushing towards a nearby cave. ''Huh? Wait, Kitty,'' Ajax also rushed behind it. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The elemental spirits, without any choice also, followed Ajax into the cave. Soon, they entered the cave. "It''s hot all of a sudden," Ajax felt the change in the temperature all of sudden and noticed ava pool in the middle of the cave. "An elemental paradise?" Ajax was shocked by theva pool in front of him as it was his first time seeing the elemental paradise in the real world. All the elemental paradises he had on him were rewarded to him by the system, so his interest was piqued by the fire elemental paradise in front of him and moved towards it. As he reached closer to it, he felt the increment in heat and his body waspletely covered in the sweat within a few seconds after entering the cave. Nevertheless, he didn''t feel ufortable with the heat as his body was already tempered by the infernal spirit''s mes. Behind his, only one elemental spirit, Volcanic followed him since he was fire elemental spirit, so he felt ecstasy with each step he took towards the elemental paradise. As for the other elemental spirits they stopped at the entrance of the cave with the destructive dragon as they felt ufortable with the heat in the cave. "Hey, Kitty," Soon, Ajax saw the infernal spirit jump into theva pool and shouted at it. ''Roar'' However, it didn''t listen to him and swam across theva pool and suddenly stopped swimming and roared at him beforepletely immersed into theva pool. "Volcanis, follow it," Even though his body was tempered with the infernal spirit''s mes, he didn''t want to jump into theva pool as it would incinerate before he could temper his body with it and asked Volcanis to follow the infernal spirit. "Yes, summoning master," Volcanic nodded his head and ran towards theva pool and jumped into it. After sending Volcanis, Ajax carefully observed the cave and the area around theva pool. Theva pool was surrounded by ck stones that looked stronger than normal rock. ''Let''s see,'' with just a nce, Ajax was able to tell there was something special about the stones and picked a ck stone. ''Ding, Item name:- Lava stone. Type:- Consumable Use:-?Increases the fire attack power of the weapon. Description:- A stone used while creating weapons to add special effects or property of the weapon. "Huh? A stone used in weapon-making?" Ajax was excited as he looked at the stone in his hand. ''I think, I can exchange this stone in the dimensional crevice for other items,'' Ajax thought in his head while he started picking the ck stones slowly. Chapter 335: Fire Elemental Paradise

335 Fire Elemental Paradise

A weaponsmith was the person who creates various weapons with different materials. In the human world, weaponsmith was one of the rarest and respected professions. It required great patience just like alchemy and need to practice various smithing techniques to be able to create a weapon sessfully. A weaponsmith needs many smithy items to increase their rank by a single rank as it was impossible to create high-level weapons in a single attempt. In the whole Zrochester province, there were only low-level weaponsmiths. From this, anyone could understand how rare the smithy items were. Even though Ajax was not a weaponsmith, he could exchange the smithy items with others. ''I am rich now...Haha,'' He was excited and picked the ckva stones without rest. ''Ding, If the host removes any moreva stones, then the fire elemental paradise will be imbnced. Just as he picked the 10th stone, he got a system notification that made him stop picking the stones and thought, ''I picked only ten stones and the elemental paradise will be imbnced if I pick another one?'' Ajax looked at the numerous ck stones around theva pool and felt it sad. However, he also felt that it was quite a foolish thing to destroy a fire elemental paradise for ck stones and he didn''t pick the stones; instead, he moved to a corner of the cave and sat down while waiting for Volcanis and infernal spirit toe out of theva pool. He didn''t wait for much time before he noticed waves in theva pool and stood up. ''Gurgle'' What he saw next was a huge spirit beast that looked like an infernal spirit with the tiger''s body that was surrounded by ckish-red mes all over its body. ''roar'' It came out of theva pool slowly and looked at Ajax before roaring at him. "You might be kitty''s life partner, nice to meet you," Looking at the ferocious rank 6 spirit beast, Ajax tried to maintain a calm look and introduced himself to it. No matter how much Ajax tried to look calm, he was unable to suppress his fear as the infernal spirit in front of him was much more ferocious looking than Kitty''s appearance before its strength was sealed by the system. ''Roar'' To Ajax''s words, it replied with a roar which he didn''t understand as usual and looked at theva as though he was waiting for his Kitty toe out quickly before the ferocious-looking infernal spirit does something to him. ''Roar'' Soon, ripples appeared on theva pool''s surface, before his kitty and Volcanis came out towards him hurriedly. "Kitty, tell your life partner toy down," Ajax ordered Kitty as soon as he saw it. ''Nods'' It nodded his tiger head and looked at the bigger version of itself and roared. "So, you are the senior," Ajax was shocked by the kitty''s dominance over the ferocious-looking infernal spirit. ''Purr'' When it heard his words, the 1-meter infernal spirit proudly raised its head and looked towards its left making an arrogant look. "Haha¡­.Now, let''s increase its bloodline purity," Ajax went towards the huge infernal spirit which looked like it didn''t have any sickness. ''What problem does it have?'' Even when he went near it, he was unable to believe the infernal spirit had some sickness. It''s not Ajax''s fault to think like that. Since it was very active and more ferocious than his little kitty, it made him confused. ''Spirus, can you use your diagnostic eyes on it?'' Ajax looked at Spirus, who was ying with Twilight before asking her to use her new skill. ording to Kitty, he needs to improve the purity of its bloodline to cure its sickness but he doesn''t know about the illness of the ferocious-looking spirit beast. "Sure master," Spirus didn''t enter into the cave; instead, she stood at the entrance and used her diagnostic eyes on the infernal spirit. Since the infernal spirit was not much distance away from the cave entrance, she was able to use her skill. "Master, it''s body is linked with the fire elemental paradise which is not letting it out of the cave. I also see various thin threads around its body which are connected to theva pool," Spirus said to Ajax while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead. ''Huh?'' When he heard Spirus'' words, he immediately thought of his spirit beast, Ghost. Just like the ferocious-looking infernal spirit, the three-eyed ghost fox was also linked to the corpse of a huge monster, which restricted its movements for only a few meters of radius around it. "Sigh...although the elemental paradises in the real world can boost the cultivation of the spirits beasts, they are bound to it," Ajax''s understanding about the elemental paradises in the real world had improved a little. He also understood the reason the spirit beasts were bound to that specific paradise was due to theirck of intelligence. If they have sufficient intelligence, they could ovee the desire of the elemental paradise like infernal spirit which had a basic intelligence due to its awakened bloodline. ''However, from the looks of this huge inferno spirit, I think it hasn''t awakened its bloodline yet,'' Ajax thought as he looked at the cruel look on its face. ''Let''s finish this and go back to the Hawk tribe to be a rank 4 alchemy master,'' He didn''t think much about the spirit beast in front of him any further and wanted toplete his promise as soon as possible before rushing to the Hawk tribe. ''Here, eat this,'' Just when he was about 2 meters away from its huge tiger head, he took out a mid-grade primitive stone and casually threw at it. ''Roar,'' When it saw the primitive stone in the air, it immediately opened its mouth after roaring at him and swallowed it. ''Roar'' After swallowing the stone, it once again looked at Ajax and continued roaring. "Huh? Do you want more?" Ajax was shocked to see the no change in the ferocious-looking infernal spirit and its roaring at him which made him assume that it was asking for more. Kitty looked at his life partner with a sad expression before looking at Ajax. ''Sigh¡­ I will give one more,'' Ajax felt sad looking at the pitiful spirit beasts and nodded his head before taking out another mid-grade primitive stone. However, this time he didn''t give it directly; instead he took out a bowl of thunder pool''s water before crushing the stone into it and walked towards the infernal spirit. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' Seeing the small bowl in Ajax''s hands, the spirit beast became excited and wanted two drink it immediately; however, it was stopped by a re from the Kitty and suppressed its excitement and waited for Ajax''s toe near it. "Drink," Ajax carefully poured the water that was emitting rich energy into therge spirit beast''s mouth and waited for the changes to appear in its body. ''Please..let it awaken its bloodline,'' Ajax prayed as he looked at the huge spirit beast''s body. Chapter 336: Black Kitty

336 ck Kitty

He didn''t wait for much time before he noticed the slowly changing infernal spirit''s body. ''Finally, it''s changing..Haha,'' Ajax was happy as he doesn''t want to waste any more mid-grade primitive stones on this spirit beast. ''Purrr'' Another soul was happier and excited in Ajax. It was none other than the little kitty. It only had one friend in its entire life before it meets Ajax and it was unable to leave the cave which made it depressed and due to his small intelligence, it was unable to find a proper solution until an old birdman came to their cave and said that with the help of a mid-grade primitive stone, they both could venture the outside world together. So, it agreed to his exchange with that stone for attacking the Hawk tribe. However, after seeing that Ajax had more than enough primitive stones, it decided to form a contract with Ajax and asked for a mid-grade primitive stone for its life partner. ''What the he..,'' Soon, the changes in the ferocious-looking infernal spirit stopped and Ajax was shocked by the changes in it even though he watched the entire process. Previously, it was around 5-6 meters with ckish-red mes all over its body. However, after its transformation, he was around 4 meters tall and the previous ferocious look on its ming head was reced with an intelligent look. The most important change was that the ckish-red mes were turnedpletely ck which were different from Kitty''s mes that werepletely red. ''Purr,'' As he was checking the changes on its body, the infernal spirit rushed towards him and made him fall to the ground. ''What are you doing? Get off of me,'' Ajax knew it was not trying to harm him, so he didn''t attack it; instead, he asked the infernal spirit to get off. However, it didn''t move away from him and started licking its face. "Hey, are you burning me to death," Although the mes from its body were not harming him, Ajax acted as though they were burning his face. When the infernal spirit heard those words, it immediately moved away from him and worriedly looked at him. ''Finally, moved away...huh?'' Ajax stood up from the ground and looked at its face which was filled with worry and shook his head. "I am going now," He didn''t want to waste any more time here and wanted to go back to the hawk tribe. So, he immediately turned around to walk away from theva pool. ''Purr'' ''purr'' Just as he was about to reach the cave entrance, he saw the two infernal spirit beasts behind him and stopped. "Kitty, you can stay here and live with your life partner," Ajax said after thinking for a moment as he doesn''t want to separate those two friends. He jokingly added, "I wille once in a while to see you. So you don''t dare to forget me." ''Roar'' ''Roar'' Both the spirit beasts roared at the same time with serious looks on their faces. "What? You want toe with me?" Ajax didn''t understand the meaning behind the infernal spirit with ck mes but he understood the meaning behind the other infernal spirit as it was his contracted spirit beast. "Nods" Both the spirit beasts nodded their heads with an exciting look making Ajax happy. ''Since you two are willing to follow me, then there is no problem with me,'' Ajax doesn''t have a problem with the two spirit beasts as he had sufficient ce for them to stay in his inner world. ''Anyway, I don''t need to supply my essence of nature to any of my spirit beasts since they get that from the inner world itself,'' Ajax thought as he looked at the ck Kitty and said, ''If you want we can form a contract.'' That''s right he started calling it as a ck kitty and his first infernal spirit as red kitty ording to their mes. It would be an easy thing to enter the inner world if he formed a spirit contract with the infernal spirit. So he asked it. Even though he asked the ck kitty, he looked at the red kitty to do a trantion for him. ''Roar'' ''roar'' ck kitty understood his words through the contract and roared at the ck kitty. ''Should I change their names to ck tiger and red tiger?'' While the red kitty was trying its best to exin his words to the ck kitty, Ajax thought as he looked at the two infernal spirits. Judging from the appearances, they looked like tigers and far from kittens. So he thought of changing their names but he quickly rejected after remembering the spirit consciousness form of the infernal spirit and nodded his head. ''Roar'' Soon, he heard the roar of the ck kitty and was satisfied with it as he understood the meaning behind the roar. Without wasting any time, he immediately tried to form a spirit contract with it and got the system notification making him raise the brows. ''Ding, The ck infernal spirit''s life and death are bounded by the fire elemental paradise. So, a spirit contract doesn''t work on the spirit beast. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows and looked at the holographic screen before staring at the fire elemental paradise and thought, ''Why is it still bound to the elemental paradise?'' ording to the?red infernal spirit, just awakening the bloodline would sever the link between the spirit beast and the elemental paradise. However, the system said the link is still there making him?puzzled. "Spirus, check it," Immediately he asked Spirus to check the ck infernal spirit to see what''s wrong with it. "Master, the threads that are linked to the ck kitty are doubled and the previous thin threads have be much stronger and thicker," Spirus said with a worried face. "What?" Ajax was shocked to hear her words as he didn''t expect that older birdman fooled red kitty. ''Calm down. There is no use crying over a dead birdman. Since I was able to form a spirit contract with Ghost, then I can form a spirit contract with this ck kitty also,'' Ajax didn''t feel shocked for more time and immediately tried to find a solution to form a spirit contract with it. ''Last time, it destroyed the giant corpse and formed the spirit contract with Ghost. Since the ck kitty was bound to the fire elemental paradise, I will destroy it,'' Looking at theva pool in front of him, Ajax smiled with a cunning smile and walked towards it. ''System, can I store it? Or does it have use for my dual elemental paradise?'' Ajax already knew the way to destroy; however, he wanted to confirm a thing with the system before destroying it. ''Ding, The host can''t store the naturally formed elemental paradise in the inner world. ''Ding, However, the host can transfer theva from the grade 1 elemental paradise to the fire-water dual elemental paradise. "Okay then, transfer it," Ajax nodded his head and ordered the system to transfer thew. However, the system replied with a notification that made his jaws drop. Chapter 337: Fire Orb

337 Fire Orb

''Ding, The host to remove the fire orb of the fire elemental paradise from the depth of theva pool. Only then, the host can transfer theva into the dual elemental paradise. "Fire orb?" Ajax didn''t understand but he could guess that it must be the core of the elemental paradise. But what made him puzzle was the elemental paradise in his inner world doesn''t have any orb or whatsoever. ''Ding, All the elemental paradises are connected to the host''s inner world which acts as their core. "Oh" Ajax nodded his head and looked at theva pool where bubbles were popping out. ''System, are you sure nothing will happen to me? Why don''t I send Volcanis or red kitty to pick it,'' Ajax was hesitating to jump into theva pool and asked the system. ''Ding, Only by transferring the fire orb into the inner world, the host can transfer the rich fire elementalva into the dual elemental paradise. ''Ding, As soon as the fire orb is removed from its ce, it has to be ced into the inner world; otherwise, it will dissipate. When he saw the first notification, Ajax wanted to ask something but it was cleared by the second notification and understood the reason behind why he should be the one to pick it. If Ajax removes the fire orb he could store it into the inner world, so he could not allow Volcanis or others to pick it. "Okay," Ajax nodded his head and slowly dipped his finger in theva pool to check the heat. To his surprise, he didn''t feel the heat; instead, he felt warm. ''Huh? Why is it only warm?'' Ajax didn''t understand but when he looked at the red kitty, he remembered something. ''Ding, Due to the host''s body being tempered by the same kind of me, he won''t feel the heat from theva. Just as he remembered the body tempering, he got a system notification exining the reason along with a red energyyer that surrounded him out of nowhere. ''Maybe it''s rted to the body tempering from the red kitty''s mes,'' Thinking that he slowly entered into theva pool. He thought that the red energyyer was protection for him which he had obtained from the body tempering after entering theva pool. Behind him, Volcanis and the two infernal spirits also followed him, just as he entered theva pool. ''Wow,'' Inside theva pool, Ajax saw a beautiful scenery that made him marvel at it and thought, "Does every elemental paradise'' inside looks like this?." Although from the surface, theva pool looked small it was way bigger than he imagined and decided to check his own elemental paradiseter. Everywhere he went theva was making a way for him which he rted to the red energyyer around him. Soon, he reached the bottom of theva pool. "Is that the fire orb? But it looked like a pill," Ajax was once again shocked by the size as he thought it was very smaller than he expected. Without any hesitation, he moved towards it to pick it. As he moved towards it, he sensed the boulders around the small fire pellet shining with a red glow and along with it the initial warm feeling just into hot. ''Huh? So you are its protectors?'' Ajax smirked at the boulders that were trying to stop him from taking the fire orb. Although his body was feeling the heat from them, it was still less than the heat he felt from the red kitty''s mes. However, he didn''t want to waste time with this boulder and looked at Volcanis, who was just behind him. ''Volcanis, why don''t you try your new skill,'' Ajaxmunicated with Volcanis through the spirit contract. Recently, Volcanis had a breakthrough into the elite spiritmander realm and awakened a new skill, which Ajax wanted to check its power. ''Sure, summoning master,'' Volcanis also excited to show his new skill to Ajax and walked towards the boulders. Seeing the fire elemental spirits towards them, the boulders started shining even more and Ajax felt the increased heat is almost the same as the heat he felt from body tempering. Without any hesitation, he took a few steps back and waited for Volcanis to show his new skill. Even after the increment in the heat, Volcanis continued to walk towards the boulder making them shine even more which in return increased the heat they released even more. "Ok.. you guys are good," Within a few second, Volcanis reached them and ced his hands on them and rubbing them, he smilingly continued, "But, the y is over." ''Explode! As soon as he said that, the boulders that were shining brightly exploded into tiny pieces making Ajax surprised and made him check the skill with the system. ''Ding, Skill name:- Energy umte(level 1). Description:- An active skill, when used by the elemental spirit absorbs the energy from the opponents'' attacks and stacked inside his body and when the elemental spirit touches the opponent, the stored energy inside his body will be transferred into the opponent''s body with double power. The most important thing is that transferred energy acts as a bomb. Note:- At level 1 only fire energy can be umted. "Good skill, but the only disadvantage is it can be effective on only fire elemental attacks," Ajax was satisfied with the skill. Since Volcanis already had high attack power, he had no problem with one attack that could only be used on fire attacks. ''But, if the level increased, he might have umted other energies,'' Ajax eagerness for Volcanis new skill increased and slowly walked towards the destroyed boulders. ''Now, it''s easy to transfer theva,'' Ajax smilingly picked the small fire orb that had an inch radius. As soon as he picked it up, he got the system notification informing about its details. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire orb (grade 1) Use:- An orb that is formed after years of umtion of the fire energy source and after it formed, the fire energy source is turned into a fire elemental paradise. "Huh? So, it is a normalva pool which has transformed into a fire elemental paradise," Ajax looked at the small fire pellet in his hands and then looked at theva pool and praised it before saying, "But, sorry I have to destroy you." Ajax shook his head and immediately threw the fire orb into the fire and water dual elemental paradise. As soon as he stored the fire orb, the crushed boulder pieces near his feet shook before a transparent red figure that looked more like a ghost than an elemental spirit appeared in front of him. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t feel afraid as he didn''t sense any ill-intentions from the ghostly figure and asked, "Who are you?" "I am the soul birthed by the boulder after years of guarding the fire orb," the ghostly figure sadly said to Ajax about it and continued, "I request this great one to return the fire orb back to me?" "Huh?" Ajax looked at it and said calmly, "I will not return." After saying those words, he immediately turned back to leave theva pool. Chapter 338: New System Feature

338 New System Feature

Just as he took two steps, the ghostly figure rushed towards him and begged, "Please great one, if you don''t return the fire orb, my soul will disperse into nature." When he heard its words, Ajax stopped and turned back to look at it and asked, "Why should I give it to you?" Even though he felt sad about the ghostly figure, he didn''t want to return the fire orb. If he did, then the ck kitty would be linked to the fire elemental paradise which he doesn''t want to see. He had to destroy this fire elemental paradise to free the ck kitty from the threads that were connected to its body. Even if he returned the fire orb to the ghostly figure and destroyed the fire elemental paradise by removing theva stones around it, it would not help in freeing the ck kitty. So, he shook his head at the ghostly figure without any expression in his face. "Why? Please show some pity on this poor soul that was born just 100 years ago," The ghostly figure continued to pester Ajax with words as it doesn''t have sufficient strength to fight against Ajax. When he heard its words Ajax didn''t know whether to cry orugh. And said, "You already lived for 100 years, so now can peacefully die," Ajax started moving once again. "Oh great one, I am only 100 years and how can I die at such a young age," the ghostly figure continued to follow Ajax while saying in a sad tone. Volcanis and the two infernal spirits looked at their conversation curiously. Since Ajax didn''t order them to do anything and the ghostly figure was not trying to fight with Ajax they only looked as they moved out of theva pool. "If you pester me like this I will kill you before you can even disperse due to theck of fire orb," Ajax was finally irritated by the pestering of the ghostly figure and warned it. "Then kill me. It''s better to die instead of slowly dispersing into nature," The ghostly figure came in front of Ajax and looked at them seriously. "What?" Ajax was shocked at its words and didn''t imagine it to say those words. "Okay fine. Other than that fire orb, is there any way to save you?" Ajax shook his head and asked it. Even though he didn''t know it. If he had a way to save it, he wanted to try it; however, he decided to not give the fire orb back to it and asked about other ways to save it. "Hmm," when it heard Ajax''s words, the red-coloured ghostly figure began to think. As it was thinking, Ajax noticed that its body started to disappear slowly like it was dispersing into theva. "System, do you have a way to say?" Ajax shook his head at the thinking boulder soul and asked the system. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking a new feature. ''Ding, Please check the user interface to know more about it. "What the heck!" At the bottom of the user interface page, there was a new feature in the ''system features'' section. Without dying a second, he focused on the new feature, ''Ding, System feature:- ''Pay to know'' Description:- The host needs to pay a specific amount of the essence of nature or any item to know about a specific information. The higher the value of the information, the higher the host needs to pay the system. Reason for the feature:- The system is fed up with the host''s continuous questions. So from now on, pay and learn the information. ''Oh, so I just need to pay. Ok then I will pay,'' thest thing he worried about now was the essence of nature, so he felt nothing and nodded his head at the system. The reason he didn''t care much about the essence of nature was because of his level 2 heaven and earth refining technique. With it, he was able to fill his spirit consciousness in just a single day if the essence of nature was pure enough just as pure as the essence of nature in the five elemental world. "What? You are irritated by me? Damn you, system," Ajax shouted when he saw thest line on the holographic screen. Previously, he only saw up to the description, so he didn''t care much about it. But, when he noticed the reason for the feature, he was angered by the system. ''Ding, Host, ce your hand on your and say that you never irritated me with your silly questions even when you know the answer to that question ''Okay fine¡­ I agree,'' Ajax embarrassed a little before nodding his head as though he agreed with the system. There were times, where he casually asked some questions to the system which he already knew the answers to. But just to confirm his answers, he asked the system. Looking at the still thinking red-coloured ghostly figure, Ajax shook his head and immediately opened the ''Pay to Know'' system feature. As soon as he opened it, the usual holographic screen appeared in front of him; however, it only had two boxes on it. In one box, there was a word ''QUESTION'' and in another box ''ANSWER''. Between the two boxes, there was a small gap that was separating them. Since he wanted to know how to save the ghostly figure in front of him, he immediately asked the question. ''How to save this soul?'' He asked while looking at the holographic screen. As soon as he asked that, the same words appeared in the ''QUESTION'' box After the question appeared in the top box, a system notification appeared at the empty space between the boxes informing about the price for the answer. ''What? Why don''t directly take all the essence of nature from my spirit consciousness?'' Ajax was shocked at the price and yelled at the system inside his heart. But the system didn''t reply and he suppressed his anger and looked at the system notification which appeared at the space between the boxes once again. ''Ding, Pay 3000 units of the essence of nature to know how to save the boulder soul without returning the fire orb. "Okay, take it," Ajax looked at the notification and painfully paid the 50 percent of his essence of nature from the spirit consciousness. Even though he didn''t care much about his essence of nature, he felt sad to give the 50 percent of his essence of nature for a simple question. ''No problem, I can get it back with one round of meditation,'' Ajax consoled himself and looked at the bottom box to find the costly answer. ''Ding, Form a contract with the boulder''s soul and make it a guardian of the inner world. ''What? A contract? A guardian?'' Ajax felt shocked at the system notification that appeared in the answer box. ''I can form a contract with it?'' Ajax thought to himself as he didn''t want to ask the system about it. ''Don''t resist,'' He simply ced his hand on the boulder''s soul and tried to form a contract with it. Chapter 339: First guardian

339 First guardian

It didn''t take much time for him to ce his spirit mark on the boulder soul. The process was simr to the spirit mark he ced on his spirit beasts and the elemental spirits but the only difference was he ced the spirit mark on the ghostly figure''s body (soul) unlike cing it in the spirit consciousness of the spirit beasts or elemental spirits. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully contracting a soul without a body. ''Ding, Do you want to make it as the inner world guardian? Yes / No ''Guardian?'' Even though he saw this word just a moment ago, he didn''t know what was the use of having a guardian for the inner world. After thinking for a moment, he assumed, "Maybe, he will take care of the herbs I nted in the inner world." Due to the system''s new feature, he started to think about various possibilities without depending on the system and epted it. ''Yes, make it into a guardian,'' Ajax nodded his head looking at the red-coloured ghostly figure in front of him. As soon as he agreed, the ghostly figure disappeared from his sightpletely and hurriedly looked into the inner world. Inside his inner world, the red-coloured boulder''s soul was in the mid-air as though it was bing one with the inner world. Looking at the scene in front of him, Ajax didn''t disturb it and came out of the inner world to finish the things in the cave. ''Since there is no fire orb, can you transfer it into the fire-water dual elemental paradise?'' Ajax doesn''t want to waste time by manually taking the rich fire essence filledva from theva pool into the inner world, so he asked the system to do it for him. ''Ding, The system requests the host topletely immerse into theva pool to transfer theva. ''Okay,'' Since the system was helping him, he followed it''s requested and immersed himself into theva pool. As soon as he was immersed into theva pool, the surroundingva level started to decrease at a crazy level and within a few seconds, theva pool became an empty pool. Afterpletely transferring theva, he slowly came out of the?empty pool and he looked at the stones around the pool. ''Since there is no fire elemental paradise now, what will you do here alone. I will take you with me,'' Saying this, he continued to pick the stones and also ordered his other elemental spirits to do the same. As soon as theva was transferred into the inner world, Ajax''s other elemental spirits came into the cave. So, he asked them to pick all theva stores that could be used to exchange in the human world or dimensional crevice for other items. After collecting all the stones he stored them in the inventory and it showed an exact 100 number. The infernal spirit with the ck mes was able toe out of the cave without any resistance making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Now, let''s form a contract them," Since he needed to form a spirit contract to let the spirit beasts into the inner world, he looked at the ck kitty and said. Ajax became a master in forming a spirit contract after forming many contracts with the elemental spirits?and the spirit beasts. So, it didn''t take much time for him before he got the system notification. ''Ding, The spirit contract with the ck med infernal spirit has formed sessfully. After that system notification, he didn''t bother to check its skills or stored it in the inner and allowed it to stay outside. ''Red kitty, ck kitty, you two can roam the Shixato wilds and meet me at the Lightning Hawk tribe within 10 days,'' Ajax looked at both the infernal spirits and smilingly told them to venture the five elemental world for 10 days. He could assume how the ck infernal spirit must have felt about being restricted to a small cave and thought it must see the five elemental world a little bit before he took them away to the human world. ''Roar roar,'' As soon as they heard his words, they excitedly roared at him and before jumping onto it and affectionately licked his face. "Okay okay...now go and venture to the Shixao wilds," Ajax was unable to bear the love of the two infernal spirits at the same time and asked them to go. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After showing their affection towards him, the two infernal spirits left to venture the Shixato wilds. ''The first thing I need to do after going to the Lightning Hawk tribe is to take a bath,'' Ajax sighed as he looked at the saliva on his body. "Everyone, let''s go," Ajax stood up from the ground and ordered everyone to mount Twilight. ''Roar,'' Twilight roared after everyone climbed onto its back and flew into the sky before rushing towards the Hawk tribe. ''Damn it, the smell is unbearable,'' While flying the smell on his body that had a hint of foul scent gushed into his nose and made him unbearable. ''I should make them stay away from me,'' Ajax swore not to let the infernal spirits lick him ever again. As he was swearing, he got the system notifications which made his depressed mood to elevate. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully recruiting the first guardian of the inner world. ''Ding, From now on the guardian will look after the nts, elemental paradise, spirit beasts and everything in the inner world and help the host in maintaining the inner world in top shape. ''Ding, The daily generated essence of nature is increased to 1000 units, which will be used for maintaining the inner world (nts and others). "Holy heck, a single guardian increased that much of the essence of nature? I should find more guardians from my inner world," Ajax was excited and looked at the red-coloured ghost in the inner world that was floating freely as though it was checking everything. As he watched it, the ghostly figure stopped at the fire and water dual elemental paradise and looked at it for a moment before jumping into theva portion of the elemental paradise. ''What is it doing? Is it searching for the fire orb?'' Ajax thought and entered into the inner world in his spirit consciousness form and connected with the inner world to check what it was doing. ''Is this really my elemental paradise?'' Ajax was shocked to see the depth of the fire-water elemental paradise. Previously, when he connected with the inner world, he didn''t observe the depths of the elemental paradises such as thunder pool and fire-water pool. The space inside that paradise was much bigger than the fire elemental paradise he entered in the cave a few moments ago and felt excited. He suppressed his excitement and focused on the newly appointed guardian spirit which had a small fire orb in its hands. ''Huh? What is it trying to do?'' Ajax was still unable to find the motive of the guardian and waited for its next actions. Chapter 340: Red

340 Red

''Gulp'' As he was watching the guardian, Ajax was shocked by the sudden action of the guardian spirit. ''It swallowed the fire orb just like that?'' Even though he was shocked, he didn''t alert it and continued to watch its actions. Since he doesn''t have much use with the fire orb, Ajax didn''t bother himself at the guardian spirit''s actions. ording to the system, A guardian spirit''s job was to maintain the inner world along with improving it. So, he wanted to find out how its actions would help the inner world. Ajax was at one corner of the inner world and hid his aurapletely, so the guardian spirit still didn''t know it was being watched by its master. After eating the fire orb, the guardian spirit walked to the centre of the elemental paradise and closed its eyes before waves of heat energy were released from its body. ''It is up to something,'' Ajax wondered by the guardian spirit''s actions once again. The heat waves from the guardian spirit made theva from one side of the elemental paradise fluctuate with intensity; however, the water from the other side was unable to get the energy of the same kind and cooled the heat energy. ''Aargh'' The guardian spirit painfully yelled and he was forced to theva sidepletely by the water. ''Ding, The guardian spirit consumed the fire orb and tried to increase the grade of the fire-water dual elemental paradise. ''Ding, The guardian spirit''s attempt failed and in the process it injured itself. Soon, he got a couple of system notifications that made him understand every action of the guardian spirit. "Oh...trying to upgrade the elemental paradise grade with a grade 1 fire orb?" Ajax shook at the foolishness of the guardian spirit. Ajax felt that it was foolish to try upgrading a grade 1 elemental paradise with a grade 1 fire orb and the most important thing was it was trying to upgrade a dual elemental paradise. "But, still it tried its best," Even though the upgrade failed, he felt that he just needed to train it properly before asking it to take care of the inner world. ''It''s already 100 years old and still had the intelligence of only a 5-year kid,'' Ajax thought in his head and made his presence known to the injured guardian spirit. As soon as it sensed Ajax''s aura, with much difficulty, it came out of the elemental paradise and slowly floated towards Ajax. "Sorry master, I destroyed the fire orb," It immediately bowed to him and said about the destruction of the fire orb. "Just heal your injuries for now and don''t try to upgrade anything without my permission¡­.," Ajax continued to say a set of things for the guardian spirit to follow and concluded with, "The main thing you need to do is to take care of those small buds over there." They were the buds of the seeds which he got from the never-returning cave. He nted them a couple of days back but they were already starting growing at an incredible speed. "Okay, master. Next time I will ask for your permission," the guardian spirit respectfully replied. "Good...Do you have a name?" Ajax didn''t know what its name was, so he asked it. "I am only 100 years, so I don''t have a name yet," the guardian replied while looking at Ajax. "100 years only? I am only 15 years old," Ajax looked at it weirdly. Ajax felt that there must be something wrong with this boulder soul to keep on saying its age with an ''only'' word. "Master, from your words I can understand that you don''t know about my souls that are born from a specific thing. Let me exin it," the boulder soul looked at Ajax and shook its head before continuing, "If a particr thing is exposed to a rich essence of nature for a long period of time, then that thing will get sentience and it can give birth to a soul just like me. I was born in the boulder due to exposure of rich fire elemental essence of nature for nearly 1000 years or more," "ording to the inherent memory I gained after reaching 100 years, I am still a baby in front of the souls that are 10000 or 100000 years" The boulder soul finished exining about the souls from what it had awakened its inherent memory. "You are indeed a childpared to them," Ajax thought about its words and nodded his head in agreement. Even though he felt some surprise, he didn''t feel weird since they were the souls, they could live forever until that item was destroyed or its essence of nature disappeared. ''No wonder, it keeps on saying ''I am only 100 years'','' Ajax felt funny thinking back it''s pestering in the cave. "Okay, also take care of this egg and the fishes. They will help in improving the purity of the essence of nature in the inner world," Ajax carefully gave it a small egg and the closed fishbowl. The small egg belongs to the spirit turtle that he bought in the ck market and the fishes in the closed fishbowl were gifts from Eica. "Yes, master. I will take care of them," The guardian spirit was excited hearing Ajax''s words because the more pure the essence of nature it stays in, the more inherent memories it would awaken with time. So, it was apparently exciting for it to take the egg and the fishbowl from Ajax. "By the way, I will call you Red. Guardian spirit -Red. Looks good," Ajax named it as Red. Since it waspletely in red colour, he casually named it before leaving the inner world. ''I should improve thisnd as soon as possible,'' After Ajax left the inner world, Red swore in its heart before breaking the closed fish bowl and throwing the yin-yang fishes into the mini-thunder pool. Next, it took the spirit turtle egg to the dual elemental paradise and settled it in the bottom of the waterside. As soon as it was settled, the egg started absorbing the water elemental essence of nature crazily. Red looked at it for some time before going towards the buds and watered them with the mini-thunder pool''s water. Ajax left the inner world and kept an eye on his new guardian spirit for a moment and felt satisfied with its actions and stopped keeping an eye on it. With the speed of twilight, Ajax and other elemental spirits reached the Hawk tribe in the next few minutes making Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Twilight, you cannd on the ground now,'' Ajax ordered Twilight to stop before they could reach the tribe entrance in order to not raise anymotion. ''Roar'' With a low roar, the dragonnded on the ground and Ajax didn''t give it any time before summoning it back into the inner world along with the other elemental spirits. The reason for his sudden actions was that he doesn''t want twilight to show its sad look when he summons it back. ''Phew...finally reached the hawk tribe,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief looking at the broken down entrance and slowly walked towards the tribe leader''s house. Chapter 341: Ajaxs irritation

341 Ajax''s irritation

"Everyone, work fast," A middle-aged hawk birdman ordered other tribe members in constructing the houses. "Yes, sir," The group of tribesmen replied as they started working with determination. Simr groups were doing the same work all over the hawk tribe constructing the broken-down houses and helped each other as they followed the orders of a supervisor. "They look excited," Ajax was shocked at the sight of the excited hawk tribesmen who were constructing the houses and slowly muttered. However, he didn''t bother with them as he continued to walk towards the tribe leader''s house. Ajax knew no one from the tribe, so he didn''t talk with them and slowly walked while observing their skills in building the houses. "Huh? Isn''t he our tribe''s saviour?" As Ajax was walking past a?group of hawk tribesmen, someone noticed Ajax and shouted with an even more excited tone giving Ajax a sudden shock. "What?" "Thanks for helping our tribe, saviour," Before Ajax even realize what was happening, all the working tribesmen bowed in front of him while thanking him for saving them a couple of time. "Huh? It''s nothing," It was Ajax''s first time seeing that many unfamiliar people bowing in front of him and hurriedly asked them to stand up. "How can it be nothing? The tribe leader and other elders said everything about how much you have helped our tribe. What we are doing right now is not even 1 percent enough for what you did to the tribe," One of the middle-aged birdmen came forward and said with deep respect in his tone. ''Huh? All the elders and tribe leader are elevating him,'' Ajax shook his head thinking about the upper echelon of the hawk tribe. However, he smiled in front of the tribesmen and said, "I ept your sincere thanks. All of you need to build those houses soon, right?" He didn''t reject their thanks and slowly diverted their attention to the half-constructed houses. "Yes, sorry saviour. The whole tribe will celebrate a feast after we construct all the houses," the middle-aged birdman that looked like a leader of the group nodded his head at Ajax before going back to his work with his fellow tribesmen. ''Sigh'' Ajax heaved a sigh and continued his walk; however just like before another group of tribesmen bowed to him. After 30 minutes, ''Damn it! Where did this many hawk tribesmene from?'' Ajax thought back to how many birdmen he met on his way towards the tribe leader''s house and cursed. Within thest 30 minutes, he met more than 15 groups of tribesmen that consisted of at least 15-20 birdmen in each group. Just from the construction units, he met nearly 225- 300 birdmen and wondered about still, how many birdmen were there in the Hawk tribe. Apart from the construction unit, there were security units, who mainly patrol the hawk tribe. Other than these two units, there were normal evolved people and their children who were by birth evolved just like Raweth and Rawin. Although it was not an umon thing, at the same time it was notmon for the child to be born in a humanoid figure. "Whatever, finally, I crossed them. Before any other tribesmen bow to me, I should enter my room," Ajax talked to himself as he looked at the majestic house in front of him and opened the huge door. As soon as he opened the door, in themon hall of the tribe leader''s house, Ajax saw it waspletely filled with the Hawk tribe members. ''Oh shit,'' The first thought that came to his mind was to escape from there. "Hey Ajax,e inside. We are just talking about you," As he was trying to escape from the entrance, Elder Kriaww and Erek asked him to enter themon hall. Without much choice, he entered themon hall with a wary expression on his face while thinking, ''How did I end up like this.'' He could guess what would happen next and he doesn''t like people to bow in front of him again and again. Ajax, who was already annoyed by the continuous bows from the tribesmen outside, felt irritated. Nevertheless, he didn''t show it on his face as he knew it was not their fault to express their gratitude but the timing was not right. What he wanted right now was a shower to clean off the foul smell that was emitting from his body; however, it was continuously dyed by the tribesmen. "Everyone, let''s show our gratitude to the saviour," Kriaww, the third elder shouted out loud looking at Ajax, who was slowly walking towards him. As soon as the tribesmen in themon hall heard his words, they kneeled on the ground at the same time before saying, "Oh great saviour. We, the tribesmen of the Lightning Hawk tribe, want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts." With their words, themon hall shook for a moment before calming down. "What are you doing Elder Kraiww?" Ajax asked while sighing to himself. "It''s just our tribe members wanted to thank you...Haha," Elder Kriaww and Elder Erek said at the same time as though they were programmed to say the same thing. "Please ask them to stand up, Elders," Ajax bitterly said to the Elders while looking at the kneeled hawk tribe members. "You heard him," Kraiww said to them in a loud voice before looking at a door that was opened all of a sudden. Hearing Kriaww''s words, the kneeled tribe members stood up and looked at Ajax with reverence in their eyes. "Ajax, tribe leader Qwerek is waiting for you in the meeting hall," After they stood up, Kriaww pointed at the opened door and asked Ajax to go in. Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed into the meeting room. In his view, it was better to enter the meeting hall as soon as possible. So, he didn''t think much about it. The reason he wanted to leave was that all the tribe members looked at him with deep reverence making him ufortable since it was his first time to be respected by 100s of people. ''I think, I should make this ufortable thing into afortable thing,'' Ajax mocked himself when he walked towards the meeting hall. When one experiences reverence from a group of unfamiliar people and when it was at the peak level for the first time, no one could enjoy it just like Ajax. Coupled with the fact that Ajax was already irritated before entering themon hall. Also, he could not openly scold them when they were trying to sincerely thank him. So, the best thing he could do in a situation like this was a ''nod'' and ''Leave''. "Okay, everyone. Now go back to your assigned tasks andpleted them as soon as possible," Just as he was about to enter the meeting hall, Ajax heard Kriaww''s loud words to the tribe members. He didn''t think much about them and?entered the meeting hall. Chapter 342: Insights book 342 Insight''s book "You came at the right time, Ajax?" As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Qwerek smilingly said to Ajax. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t understand what exactly that meant; however, he still moved towards the tribe leader. Beside Qwerek there were two other familiar faces. One was the first elder, Cretual whereas another one belongs to the captain of the 12 Hawk guardians. "Hello elders," Ajax suppressed his earlier annoyance and politely greeted all the three birdmen. "Come and si..," "You go and fresh up. We will talkter," As though the captain of the 12 Hawk guardians saw through his annoyance, he interrupted the tribe leader and asked Ajax to fresh up. "Okay, elders. I wille soon," Ajax looked at Qwerek, who nodded his head in agreement before leaving the meeting hall. ''Huh?'' When he came out, he saw there was no one except for the two elders who were discussing something. Ajax said a few simple words to them and immediately left to his room to freshen up. The first thing he did after entering his room was to directly enter the bathroom to shower. In the next few minutes, hepleted this bath and wore a neat set of clothes and came out of his room. ''Nothing beats the rxation thates after a good bath,'' He thought as he returned to the meeting hall. After exchanging a few polite greetings, he sat alongside the three elder members of the Hawk tribe. "Ajax, thanks for saving my tribe once again," All the three elders thanked Ajax before they resumed their meeting. "I just helped a little, so there is no need to thank me," Ajax replied with a smile as he shook his head. "Please take this gift from us as a token," Qwerek ced a box on the table and asked Ajax to take it. The two other elders also said the same thing, asking Ajax to take the gift. Ajax knew that it was not a good idea to reject the gift when he looked at the seriousness in their eyes. ''Let me see what it is?'' Ajax picked the small box from the table and opened it. enter into the King realm," The captain said to Ajax with aplicated expression on his face. 22:47 Inside the box, a small but thick book was neatly ced with a couple of white feathers. "This is..," "Although we said it was a gift to you but it was for our tribe''s childe. I hope she will like this item," Before Ajax could ask them about the book, Qwerek interjected his words and looked at the captain of the 12 Hawk guardians. "This book contains the insights of our ancestors and it will help your lightning hawk about how to enter into the King realm," The captain said to Ajax with aplicated expression on his face. "Huh? Is it that hard to enter the King realm for the birdmen?" Ajax felt something was wrong and asked as he looked at the small and thick book in his hands. "I aming to that point. Yes, it''s very hard to reach that realm whenpared to humans. If you open the book, all the insights will disappear into the air. So, only open it in front of your lightning hawk," The first elder, Cretual exined about the book after the captain of the guardians. "It must be one of your tribe''s treasures, right?" Ajax felt he was taking away the future path of the lightning hawk tribe when he asked the question. "In our hawk tribe there is no one who is suitable to use it yet; however, I have the confidence that your Snow will definitely reach the king realm with the help of this book without much difficulty," Qwerek sighed as he exined about his tribe''sck of geniuses. "But..but.." "Please take it. If your Snow bes the king realm and enters the greater worlds, then we can proudly say that another member of our tribe entered the greater worlds," Cretual said with a proud expression on his face as though he was already imagining Snow bing the King realm and entering the greater worlds. "Okay then. I will ept it and I will help your tribe in the future if I am in this world," Ajax smilingly said and carefully stored the box in his inventory as he thought, ''After Snow wakes up I will let it absorb the insights of the lightning hawk tribe''s ancestors.'' From the seriousness on their faces and words, Ajax was able to guess the item in his hands was a real treasure and carefully stored. "Ajax, do you mind if we answer a few questions to you," After seeing that Ajax stored the box, everyone nodded their heads and Qwerek slowly asked him. "Huh? Questions? Sure. I will answer to the best of my knowledge," Ajax didn''t mind about answering some question. But that doesn''t include any questions rted to the system though, so he nodded his head and agreed. "Good," Qwerek nodded his head and continued, "Do you belong to the summoners'' group?" At Qwerek''s question, both of the elders beside him looked at Ajax with a serious face as though they were unable to wait until Ajax''s answer. "Summoners'' group? Haha...No, I am not," Ajaxughed as he shook his head making the three elder bridmen in the meeting room dejected. "Sigh...we all thought you were from that group and wanted to ask for help. But, looks like we kept her hope high," The captain of the guardians sighed as he exined the reason for their disappointment. "If you want something, ask me. If I can do anything to help you, I will help you," Ajax slowly said looking at their disappointed looks. When Ajax was in trouble, Qwerek helped him with an array and before that, he also gave a tribe''s treasure which helped him escape from the five elemental worldst time. So, Ajax wanted to help them if he had the ability to do it. "Do you know about the summoners'' group?" Qwerek asked Ajax about the group. "Yes, they are the group of ¡­..," Ajax briefly said about that group from what the masked birdman had said to him. "Correct. So, if we want to travel out of this Shixato wilds we need their help. Since you are a summoner, we thought you are from that group and you will help us venture to the other regions," Cretual embarrassedly smiled as he exined to Ajax. "Oh, sorry then. I can''t help you since I don''t have any connection with them," Ajax shook his head. He even himself doesn''t have the sufficient strength to cross the Shixato wilds, so Ajax immediately rejected the thought about helping them. "We have a hope that you could join the summoners'' group in the future," Their previous disappeared as Qwerek confidently said to him. "But, how can I meet them?" Ajax was also excited to join them but he didn''t know where they were and how to join them. "No need to worry, if they are in the five elemental world they wille for you," Qwerek said in a mysterious tone making Ajax shiver. "Why will theye for me?" Ajax asked as he looked at the three birdmen in front of him. Extra chapter for 2k power stones. continue voting to get more chapters. vinayraj Chapter 343: Demi-King realm

343 Demi-King realm

"Because you are a summoner and you already summoned your elemental spirits," Qwerek said to Ajax while giving him a smile. "Huh?" Ajax was confused at the tribe leader''s words. "We don''t know much about their methods, but there is a saying that, they can sense a fellow summoner if he or she summons their elemental spirits," The captain of the 12 Hawk guardians replied to Ajax when he saw the confusion on his face. "Really? Are they that powerful?" Although he assumed that they were strong from the masked birdman''s words, he didn''t expect them to be that strong. The older birdman he killed earlier was already in the Demi king realm and he was not even able to find Ajax in the Shixato wilds without wasting much time. So, when he heard that the summoners'' group could find him even when they were in some other region. That made him want to join them even more. ''Looks like I can learn a lot from them,'' Ajax thought in his head as he was making ns to join their group. The most important reason he wanted to join them was that he wanted to know more about the elemental spirits. "But the chance of them finding you is very less as they have not visited the five elemental worlds for a few years now," Qwerek said with a sigh. "Why? Is there any reason for that?" Ajax became curious and asked the elders. "We don''t know exactly but we heard some unbelievable rumours about them," Qwerek looked at the two other elders beside him and continued, "It was said that they killed someone from the greater world and eventually hunted by the faction behind him." "Huh? But you said they were good people and powerful?" Ajax thought back to the information he had on them and asked Qwerek. "Sigh...they are good and it was their weakness," Qwerek sighed as he started exining something new about the summoners'' group, "They are powerful and always helped the weak to get justice." "ording to me, the rumours I heard about them might be true. Since they help everyone, it was not an impossible thing to get into trouble," Qwerek stopped as he said his views about the rumours. "Even though they are strong here, that doesn''t mean they are powerful everywhere," Qwerek didn''t give any time for Ajax to ask any questions as he continued. Ajax nodded his head as he understood the meaning behind his words. The greater worlds as the name suggest they were greater andrger than the regr worlds. The five elemental world belongs to the regr world category. As for the greater world category, there were Demon worlds and many others that were not known to the general beings. Ajax didn''t know about these worlds in the beginning but when he received the blessing of the Summoner King in his first inheritance ground, he got to know about them. ''I think, the system will not give any missions rting to the greater world anytime soon,'' Ajax thought that the system still needed more time to give missions of that level. ording to his understanding of the system, he thought he would not get any missions rting to the greater world. At most he would get the mission rting to his revenge. "Do you still believe they are alive?" Ajax asked after thinking for a moment. "Although they might not be as powerful as the powerhouses from the greater worlds, they have many trump cards to escape. So, I still strongly believe that they are alive somewhere, " Qwerek said with confidence. When they heard his words, the two elders beside him also nodded their heads. Ajax doesn''t know how much that so-called summoners'' group helped the inhabitants of the five elemental world. But he could guess one thing for sure, they did help the residents of the five elemental world a lot. "Let''s stop about them and ask him about another important matter," Qwerek immediately changed the topic about the summoners'' group and asked Ajax, "Ajax, do you still have the thunder realm water?" While he asked about the thunder realm''s water, Qwerek observed the facial expressions of Ajax. ''What should I say? Since there was no loss in giving them some water, will they change their attitudes and force me to bring out more water?'' Ajax was thinking about what to do. Since an invaluable treasure could change the personality of a being entirely and Ajax doesn''t want that to happen and pondered about the possibilities. "We don''t need much. Just a liter of the thunder realm''s water is enough for me to break through to the Demi-King realm" Qwerek hurriedly exined about the quantity of the water he needed to break through to the Demi-King realm when he saw the serious expression on Ajax''s face. He was old enough to know what Ajax was thinking and hurriedly exined. "What? Breakthrough to the Demi-King realm?" Ajax looked at Qwerek and immediately asked, "After the elite general realm is the King realm, right? What is this Demi-King realm?" This doubt was there in his mind for some time so he asked about it immediately. When he killed the older birdman, the system said he was a Demi-King realm expert that surpassed the elite general realm but didn''t reach the King realm. However, due to him being in a hurry, he didn''t bother about it much. Since the topic came out once again, Ajax wanted to have rity about it. "In a regr world, once can''t reach the King realm due to the suppression by the regr world; however, there is an intermediary realm that is more powerful than the Elite general realm but less powerful than the King realm which was eptable by the five elemental world," Qwerek exined about the suppression of the five elemental world making Ajax understand a little more about the five elemental world. "Okay Elder Qwerek. Thanks for exining. Here is the one liter of the thunder realm''s water," Ajax smilingly took out the water and gave it to Qwerek. Qwerek was shocked to see that Ajax took out the water without making them beg for it which made his impression on him increase even more. "Thank you Ajax, thank you very much," Qwerek was excited and tried to take the water from Ajax''s hands. However, before Qwerek could take, Ajax pulled back his hand and said, "But I need one thing in return." "What is it? I can give you anything as long as I have it," Qwerek smiling replied and continued, "Even if I don''t have it on me, I will use the tribe''s help to find what you will ask in exchange for the item." Qwerek knew how important that water was to him and he didn''t want to leave this opportunity and even said that he would use the help of the tribe for his request. "Really? then it''s good," Ajax nodded his head and was satisfied with Qwerek''s determination. Chapter 344: Regions of Five Elemental World

344 Regions of Five Elemental World

Ajax was satisfied with his words and continued, "I want herbs ranging from Rank 1 to Rank 4. As for the quantity, ''the more the better''." "Herbs?" All the three elders were shocked for a moment and heaved a sigh of relief with Ajax''s request. Although Qwerek said that he could do his best for Ajax''s request, his heart was beating very fast thinking about what Ajax would request; however hearing Ajax''s words, his heartbeat became normal. "Rank 1 to Rank 3 herbs are not a problem. I can even arrange them right now. However, there are only a few types of Rank 4 herbs on me and in the tribe," Qwerek replied to Ajax''s request and continued, "If you don''t mind I can arrange the rank 4 herbs in two days. What do you say?" Qwerek looked at Ajax after finishing his words and waiting for his reply. ''Since I need 2-3 days to be rank 3 alchemy master anyway, I can wait for the rank 4 herbs,'' Ajax felt it was not a problem and nodded his head. "Okay," Ajax agreed as he extended his hand towards Qwerek. "Thanks Ajax. I will send all the rank 1 to rank 3 herbs to your room right now," Qwerek took the water gourd from Ajax''s hand and stored it in his space ring while thanking him. The two other elders looked at Qwerek and shook their heads and thought, ''You are a tribe leader for god sake. Can''t you maintain proper demeanour?'' At that moment, Qwerek acted like a small child that just got his favourite candy and totally forgot that he was the tribe leader of the Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe. It''s not entirely Qwerek''s fault though. It was because that the thunder realm''s water could make him one of the peak existences of the Five elemental world. With that power, he could venture outside the Shixato Wilds without worry and even take some of the young elite with him to broaden their horizons. Overall it would help the Lightning Dragon Hawk tribe towards the path of glory in the entire Five elemental world. So he behaved like an excited child when he took the water gourd from Ajax''s hand. ''It seems like this water is really helpful for the Hawk tribe members,'' Ajax also thought just like the two other elders looking at the excited Qwerek. After giving the water to Qwerek, Ajax and others continued to talk about some more things about other regions in the Five elemental world. Although Ajax didn''t understand many things he was able to get a glimpse of the other regions in the five elemental world. Shixato wilds was one of the regions that was neither very powerful nor very weak. It had an adequate amount of resources that could help the three bird tribes and other spirit beasts to reach high-level cultivation with time. There were regions like Western foxnds, Mountain lion woods, Ancient locust woods and many more. Western foxnds was the region that shared the same boundary with the Shixato wilds and it was ruled by the different fox tribes and Mountain lion woods was ruled by the various lion tribes. As for the Ancient evergreen woods, unlike the other regions which were ruled by the evolved spirit beasts (Humanoid spirit beasts), they were ruled by elves. Also, it was the most powerful region among all the regions in the five elemental world. When he learned about these regions, Ajax''s adventure heart wanted him to venture those regions but ording to Qwerek and other elders'' words, he understood it''s difficult to venture freely in those regions. "Elder Qwerek, why is it difficult to venture in other regions?" Ajax asked them as he wanted to try venturing those regions in the future. "The other regions are not like Shixato wilds. They will not allow the beings from other race or region into their territory," Qwerek paused for a second before continuing, "Unless you have their permission to enter their region, they will hunt you down." "Oh," Ajax nodded his head and understood that these evolved spirit beasts were still maintaining their bestial nature even after they evolved. In general, every spirit beast had a territorial feeling, so they wouldn''t like others to enter their territory without their permission. "So, the Shixato wilds also have the same rule, right?" Ajax looked at Qwerek and asked while thinking back to his first time in the five elemental world. Due to his contracted spirit beast, Snow, he was on good terms with the Lightning Hawk tribe and with their help he masked his presence and met the other bird tribes in the Ancient ruins. So, he was unable to sense the true territorial feeling of these Shixato wilds residents. "Yes, if not for you bringing our tribe''s childe we would have attacked you first without much thinking," The first elder, Cretual said without thinking much agreed that they would have attacked Ajax. ''I guess I am lucky to have Snow with me then,'' Ajax bitterly smiled as he heard Cretual''s words and thought in his head. "But, if we have sufficient strength then we can travel to other regions without much hassle," Qwerek said after Cretualpleted his words and continued, "So, when I be a demi-king realm cultivator, I can take some of the young tribesmen with me which will help broaden their horizons." When he said those words, Qwerek was smiling continuously from ear to ear. "I hope you can sessfully reach that realm and venture to other regions," Ajax was also happy to see Elder Qwerek be powerful and then he could take his help in venturing to other regions. ''However, I need to eliminate the assassin sect before that,'' Ajax didn''t forget his true purpose to be powerful and thought in his heart. "Okay then, we shall conclude our meeting here," Qwerek stood up and decided to conclude the meeting as it''s been more than few hours they were gathered here and he looked at Ajax and said, "Ajax, you can go to your room and I will ask someone to deliver the alchemy ingredients from rank 1 to rank 3 to your room." "Okay Elder Qwerek. I will go to my room now," Ajax also wanted to start his refining of the pills to increase his alchemy master rank as soon as possible. So, he stood up and walked towards the door of the meeting hall. "I will start my secluded cultivation from tonight. First elder, you will take the role of acting-tribe leader and can only disturb me if there is only a major problem. As for you Hawk captain, order your team to refine some artifacts for our elite tribe members. Do you understand?" As Ajax was walking toward the exit, he heard Qwerek''s words and abruptly stopped walking as he turned around and walked towards them. **** Target Chapter 345: Void breakers first effec

"Do you need something, Ajax?" Qwerek asked as he looked at the returning Ajax. "Yes...I totally forget about an important thing," Ajax facepalmed as he looked at the three elders. "Huh? What is it?" Seeing his facepalming, they all asked the elders at the same time with an interest. Since Ajax said it was an important thing, they became curious. "It''s about the first effect of the small purple coin you asked me to appraise earlier," Ajax removed his palm from his face as he said. "Yes, even I forgot about it...Hahaha," Qwerekughed remembering about the effect of the mythical grade coin. "Me too...Haha," the first elder, Cretual, alsoughed along with Qwerek. "What effect?" The captain of the 12 hawk guardians was the only one who didn''t understand what Ajax was saying and why the tribe leader and the first elder became excited all of a sudden. "Captain Hawk, it''s about this coin. This is a mythical¡­Qwerek took out the small purple coin from his space ring and exined its history and Ajax''s appraisal about it. "What? This is our tribe''s mythical level artifact? Why can''t I sense anything from it?" The Hawk Captain became shocked and took the small coin into his hand and observed it very carefully. "Impossible... there is not even single rune or symbol I could recognize and can''t even rte it to the standard artifact symbols," He became more and more shocked checking the coin and said about his views on it. "I know you are quasi-rank 5 Artificer, but this coin is way above that standard," Qwerek consoled the Hawk Captian while patting his shoulder. Just like Qwerek, who was adept in arrays, the Hawk captain was adept in artifact making and even reached the quasi-rank 5. A rank that was almost reaching the rank 5 artificer. Even he was unable to believe that the coin was an artifact and what was even more shocking was that it was a mythical grade artifact. ''Looks like he is not a regr human like tribe leader said,'' The Hawk Captain nodded his head and agreed and looked at Ajax in a new light. "By the way, why did you not give me this coin earlier, I would have studied more about it in myb," The Hawk captain looked at the elders and asked angrily. He was angry because they didn''t ask him, a quasi-rank 5 artificer to research it from all these years. "Huh? We didn''t know it was an artifact until Ajax appraised it. Also, don''t you dare say that we didn''t ask you to study the coin? At the time, you said that you were creating some artifact or whatever and asked us to not disturb you for a few years," Qwerek scoffed at the Hawk captain. "..." The Hawk Captain became speechless and rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "You continue Ajax," After exining about the small coin to the Hawk captain, Elder Qwerek asked Ajax to continue. "What?" Qwerek and two other elders stood up as soon as they heard Ajax''s words and asked him. "It''s true. The coin''s first effect was to help us to travel to other worlds," Ajax smilingly nodded his head. "Ajax, don''t joke with us," Qwerek said to Ajax with an unbelievable expression on his face. "Yes, please don''t joke with us," Simrly, the other two elders nodded their heads in agreement with Qwerek. "I am not joking. If you want to believe then believe if you don''t want to, then don''t," Ajax shrugged his hands and turned back to leave the meeting hall. "Ajax, wait. Sorry for our earlier responses," Qwerek stopped Ajax and apologized along with the two elders. "Ok, no problem," Ajax shook his head and epted their apology as he had also not believed when he first saw those words; however these words came from the system itself. So he didn''t have any doubt in the system''s appraisal. Soon, the previous unbelievable expressions on their faces had turned into excited expressions. "Do you know how to use it?" The Hawk captain looked even more excited than Qwerek and Cretual as he asked Ajax a question. "I don''t know but I can only find it out after my cultivation has increased," Ajax shook his head but he made it clear that he could find its way of operation after he became powerful. Ajax doesn''t want to waste any more time with the mythical grade coin as it would suck all his essence of nature from his spirit consciousness and make him sleep for another half a day. "Thanks, Ajax, we will wait for you to be powerful," Even though they wanted to know its method of using it, they didn''t force Ajax as they knew it was very hard for amander realm cultivator to even appraise a mythical grade artifact; however, Ajax managed to appraise one of the effects of the coin. So, they thought with time, they could use that mythical grade artifact and decided to wait for Ajax to be powerful. "Okay then. I will help you when the timees," Ajax nodded his head and left the meeting hall. The reason Ajax decided to help them was that he could also use that artifact to travel between worlds. ''When that timees, I can also venture other worlds with my friends, both new and old,'' Ajax thought as he slowly moved towards his room. Even though he didn''t know how his old friends were, he only thought positively about them and didn''t dare to imagine they were alive. ... "This Ajax kid seems to have a moreplicated background than we thought," Qwerek felt happy that his tribe was lucky to meet such a person that saved them a couple of times and would continue to help them in the future. "Do you think he is the one that was mentioned in the prophecy that brings our tribe to the glory?" The Hawk Captain asked while thinking about something. "No," The tribe leader, Qwerek and the first elder, Cretual both said at the same time making the Hawk captain surprisedly look at them. "You are just a maniac that dedicated your life to the artifacts and never bothered about the tribe''s internal matters, so you don''t know," Cretual also looked at the Hawk captain and chided him. "Did you even remember the tribe''s teachings or have you already forgotten them?" Qwerek also shook his head at the Hawk captain. "Please, don''t say like that uncle. I know that I dedicated my life to the artifact but did I ever hide or note to protect the tribe when it was in danger?" The Hawk captain looked at Qwerek and seriously said. "I know but have you ever tried to check the tribe''s history or prophecies other than that artifact rted stuff? Also, don''t call me uncle. Have you forgotten who are you now?" Qwerek mercilessly scolded the Hawk captain with his words. Chapter 346: Prophecy

346 Prophecy

"Sorry, tribe leader I forgot," The Hawk Captain sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "Sigh...you are not that young man and you have the duty to protect the tribe," Qwerek shook his head looking at the Hawk. "I know that tribe leader but I still don''t understand why I should not call you uncle now?" This doubt had been in his heart for a while and he decided to ask now since there was no one other than the first elder, Cretual, who was also his elder cousin by blood. "Hear carefully and don''t forget this ever again in your life. Once a hawk tribesman enters the 12 guardian Hawk, they should cut off their blood rtions and treat the whole tribe as an equal. Even after this many days, you still don''t understand this basic rule...sigh," Qwerek ended his answer with a sigh. Hisst sentence was barely audible to others as he doesn''t want the Hawk Captain to hear those words. Simrly, the 15 crows unit from the Fire crow tribe and 10 true sparrows unit from the ice sparrow n also cut off their rtions with their families and they would start treating all the tribe members equally. Even though they were cutting off their blood rtions, it was a great honour to enter that specific unit for every tribe member and their family members also support them wholeheartedly. This doesn''t mean anyone could enter these units. Each individual was required to have sufficient strength and skills to join. One can imagine only 10, 12 and 15 tribesmen from the entire tribe were chosen by the tribe leader and elders of the tribe of Ice sparrow, Lightning Hawk and Fire crow tribes respectively. This was one of the ancient rules that were set by the ancestors of their tribes. As for why the Hawk captain does not know about the rule and still became the Captain of the 12 Hawk guardians was because he was extremely talented in cultivation and artifact making. Also, he could make wise decisions in tough situations and could lead the other guardians without much difficulty. "Ok, I understood now. Then what about the prophecy?" After getting his lesson from Qwerek, he asked about the prophecy. In his view, it''s better to learn how to makeplicated artifacts than learning the history of the tribe. So, he was not attentive when he was taught about the prophecies and other past events of the tribe. "ording to the prophecy, our tribe will be led to glory by one of our own. So, it is definitely not by a human," Qwerek exined as he looked at the attentive Hawk Captain and thought, ''If he was this careful when I taught him in his young age, he would be the one to lead this tribe to the glory.'' Even though the Hawk captain was talented in cultivation but he doesn''t have any other goals other than increasing his knowledge in the artifact making. He didn''t want to force anyone to lead the tribe towards glory. ording to him, it had toe from the bottom of the heart. Only then that person won''t stop when they were hindered by some obstacle while leading the tribe to glory. "Oh..then it must be his contracted spirit beast that has high purity of bloodline and along with the 100 percent inheritance of our ancestor, she can lead us to the glory," The Hawk Captain knows about Snow as he observed it when Ajax came to the Hawk tribe for the first time and he could still remember Snow clearly as she had the highest purity of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''s bloodline. "Maybe or maybe not. We can''t be sure about this thing. Let''s wait and see," Qwerek didn''t want to keep his hopes high and didn''t want to feel heavy disappointment. "Okay, tribe leader," the Hawk captain nodded his head. "Hmm," Qwerek smiled at him and said, "Continue to make more artifacts for the younger generation." The Hawk captain had another job other than protecting the Hawk tribe when needed. That was he had to make artifacts for the tribe. So, Qwerek once again ordered him to make artifacts for the young elites in the tribe. "Yes, tribe leader," The Hawk captain nodded his head and left the meeting hall along with the first elder, Cretual. ''I hope what he said about Ajax''s contract spirit beast leading us to glory wille true,'' After both the elders left the meeting hall, Qwerek thought in his head. No matter how much he wanted to not keep any expectations, he could not help but think about it and finally hoped it to be true. .... Somewhere in the five elemental world, "Master I sense the scent of a few new elemental spirits," An elemental spirit said to a middle-aged man who was in meditation. The elemental spirit looked like two half elemental spirits attached together. One side of the elemental spirit was in brown colour whereas the other side had azure colour. "Huh? In this five elemental spirit?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and asked his elemental spirit. The middle-aged man''s face looked handsome with a light ck beard and his body was tightly wrapped by ck clothing. "Yes, master," the elemental spirit nodded its head. "Sigh...we can''t test him and recruit him into our group now," The middle-aged man shook his head before closing his eyes and said to his elemental spirit, "Try to find out what is the element type of the elemental spirits." "Yes master," The brown and azure coloured elemental spirit?looked into the distance and nodded its head. After giving his orders, the middle-aged man didn''t say anything and continued to cultivate and the elemental spirit in front of him released something into thend beneath him and closed his eyes. ..... Inside a room in the tribe leader''s house, "Phew¡­.finally, I am free," After entering his room, the first thing he did was rx on his bed and heaved a sigh of relief. "The rank 1 to rank 3 herbs mighte anytime now until then let me read Mason''s family alchemy techniques book," As he waited for the ingredients that were promised to him by Qwerek, Ajax wanted to look at the alchemy tips and techniques book from Mason''s family. After saying that, Ajax took out a medium-sized book and nced at the cover. In the dimensional crevice, Ajaxpeted with Barret and bought this book with a high price. From the book cover, Ajax was able to guess that this book must cost a lot just for making it. Because the book cover was made up of a rank 5 spirit beast''s hide. So, Ajax''s expectations were raised to its peak. ''I hope this book is worth the price I paid,'' With a thought like this, he slowly opened the book; ''Knock'' ''Knock'' However, before he could check its contents, he heard a knock on the door. Chapter 347: Halo

347 Halo

''Huh? Alchemy ingredients came quicker than I thought,'' Ajax became excited and immediately rushed to open the door. "Hello, sir Ajax. Our tribe leader asked us to give you these ingredients," Outside his room, two hawk tribesmen politely bowed to him before one of them took out three space rings and gave it to Ajax. "Huh? Three?" Ajax was surprised and took the three space rings and checked the space inside the three space rings. "Each space ispletely filled with ingredients of different ranks," the tribesmen briefly exined to Ajax looking at the surprise on Ajax''s face. "Hmm," Ajax nodded his head and kept the space rings away before saying, "You can leave now." "If you need anything just tap on his talisman and I will be at your service, Sir Ajax," the tribesman said before giving a colourless talisman. "Okay," Ajax took the talisman and closed the door before returning to his bed. As for the tribesmen, both of them left only after closing the door. After sitting on his bed, Ajax took out a space ring that contained only rank 1 herbs and wore on one of his fingers. "Before checking the book, I will use the system guidance to reach Rank 4 alchemy master. I wonder how it will work. Also, I should use another reward for the same mission," Ajax thought about his rewards from the taming mission. From the taming mission, he got additional rewards to spin the roulette for an elemental spirit. So, he decided to use it before focusing on refining the pills. ''System, open the lottery tab and use the special spin for the elemental spirit,'' he ordered the system without any dy. ''Ding, Do you want to spin the special chance in the lottery tab? Yes / No Soon, a holographic screen appeared asking for his confirmation. "Yes, Please use it," Ajax nodded his head and said ''Yes''. As soon as he agreed, a roulette appeared in front of him with 10 sections with different colours on it. He thought that each colour represented a specific element of the elemental spirit. ''But, why are these two sections empty? Does this mean if I get them, I will not get an elemental spirit?'' Ajax was able to recognize also the colours on the roulette but two sections were empty making him feel anxious. Within a few seconds, the roulette started to spin slowly and eventually spun fastly before bing slow. ''Please, no empty spot. No empty spot,'' Ajax continuously prayed not to get an empty spot on the roulette. ''Damn it...there are 8 other sections why did you stop on this empty section,'' Soon, the roulette stopped on a section that Ajax prayed not to stop and made him cry. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for getting an elemental spirit. Please check more information about it in the user interface. "What?" He didn''t expect that he would get an elemental spirit for a colourless section on the roulette and soon felt happy. Without wasting any time, he quickly opened his user interface and checked the elemental spirits section. In that, he found a new name and immediately focused on it. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Halo Element type:- None Cultivation:- Unavable Skills:- Unavable Description:- An elemental spirit that was born without any element. Without time and avability of the elements that were within its reach, the elemental spirit gradually adapted to that type of elemental spirit. Until then its skills and cultivation will be unavable. Note:- The host can choose the element for the elemental spirit from Fire, Water, Wind and Land and it can change into that element immediately. If the host wants auxiliary elements then it has to meet special conditions. "Hahaha," As soon as he read theplete data on the holographic screen he became excited andughed out loud and thought, ''This one is cooler than other random elemental spirits. Now, I can choose the element I want for this Halo guy.'' He was excited because he could now make this elemental spirit into an auxiliary elemental spirit that would be always stronger than a regr elemental spirit. As he was checking the information on the new elemental spirit that he gained from the special lottery, he felt something in his spirit consciousness move. ''So, you are here,'' Ajax checked his spirit consciousness and found that the new elemental spirit was in the centre of his spirit consciousness. It was devoid of any colour and its shape was also irregr as though it was waiting for something. The most important thing was that a smallyer of energy barrier was surrounding its body that was stopping the elemental spirit to absorb the essence of nature from his spirit consciousness. ''Just wait for some time, Halo. I will give you a good element so that you will be stronger than other elemental spirits,'' Ajax doesn''t know whether it could understand his words or not. Nevertheless, he transmitted his thoughts to it. ''Hmm'' However, to his surprise, he got a reply in a very low voice that he wouldn''t have noticed if he was not paying attention to it. ''Good boy,'' Ajax praised it beforeing out of his spirit consciousness and asked the system, ''System, what are the special conditions for Halo to gain an auxiliary element.'' Since the system said that it needed to meet special conditions, he asked about them. ''Ding, Please use the ''Pay to Know'' tab to know any information. "Okay okay, use it," Ajax knew it was his own fault for making system introduce this new feature that was sucking his essence of nature for every information/ However, he wanted to know about it. So, he didn''t hesitate or waste any time as he asked the system to use the new feature. Soon, the regr process of the ''Pay to Know'' continued and after the question formed it asked for the price to pay. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 1000 units of the essence of nature to know about the special conditions. "Consume it," Ajax felt it was a reasonable price and asked the system to consume the essence of nature. ''Ding, The special conditions differ for each element. However, the host needs to find a source of rich essence of nature of that element and allow the element less elemental spirit to cultivate in it. ''Ding, The rest depends on the elemental spirit. Thanks for using the?''Pay to Know'' tab. "That''s it? You literally said nothing about the special conditions," Ajax read the two system notifications and still waited for more notifications toe. As he waited for a few seconds, the system ended its exnation about the special conditions with thanks. ''This is not a reasonable price. From now on, I will use this tab only if I needed something very important,'' Ajax felt that the system scammed him once again and decided to not use this scamming system feature unless he needed it urgently or for only important things. "The only auxiliary elemental paradises I have in the inner world are poison and lightning. But I don''t want to make this one into either of those elements. I guess I should wait for some time," Ajax shook his head and decided to wait until he found a good element source. Chapter 348: Series missions

348 Series missions

The actual reason Ajax wanted to wait for some time for giving the element-less elemental spirit a good element instead of choosing poison and thunder element was because it was only elemental spirit he had the choice to give an element. So, he wanted to give it an element that was as rarest and powerful as possible. After keeping his thoughts aside, he looked at the book beside him and came back to his alchemy master ns. ''System, activate the system guide on reaching the rank 4 alchemy master,'' Ajax asked the system about his reward as he took the book beside him into his hands. ''Ding, Activating the system guide for helping the host to reach the rank 4 alchemy master in the shortest time possible. ''Ding, Current rank:- Rank 1 alchemy master. As soon as he activated the system guide, the system gave a brief exnation about the guide and his current rank. After disying that, floods of new information entered into his head about alchemy and herbs. ''Aargh'' Along with the foreign information, a sharp sting of pain started in his head that made him cry in pain. Although it was not as painful as the pains that he had endured in the past, it came all of sudden and he also did not expect the pain. So, he cried at the beginning but eventually, he felt used to that sharp pain. ''Phew.finally its over,'' The floods of information stopped in a few minutes making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Ding, The information regarding the alchemy until rank 4 has been sent into the host''s mind. Note:- Learning alchemy is a never-ending process. So, the host still needs to learn more about it. ''Ding, A series of missions are generated in the quest tab with the ordance of the system guide to make the host encourage to reach the rank 4 alchemy master as soon as possible. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the system notifications carefully and thought in his head. ''Looks like I guessed right. This system will make me refine pills,'' Ajax already knew that the system would try to make him refine various pills, so that''s the reason why he asked Qwerek about various ingredients while exchanging the thunder pool''s water. But what he didn''t expect was that it would encourage him with the Quest tab. When one gets free rewards for the work he wanted to do, he would do it even more interestedly. So he was excited to see what the missions generated in the quest tab were. ''Also, that note in the notifications seems to be telling me to read more about the alchemy. I guess, I still have some need for this book,'' Ajax looked at the book in his hand and felt good. After the system flooded his mind with the alchemy knowledge, he thought he wasted his spirit stones while bidding for this book. After thinking that, he opened the quest tab to check the new missions. ''Ding, Series mission 1/3 Mission name:- Starting the true journey of alchemy. Target:- Complete 100 rank 1 pill refinements within a day. Progress:- 0/ 100 Reward:- Unseal the knowledge of the rank 2 alchemy master. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised by the reward and immediately checked the new information in his mind; however, he was able to gain ess to only rank 1 alchemy whereas other knowledge was blocking him from checking the data regarding rank 2 or higher. "100 refinements in 1 day? Okay, it''s doable," Ajax didn''t worry about the 100 refinements as he had the confidence inpleting the mission without much trouble. As for his confidence, it was because he had a basic fire refinement technique that helps him to refine the pills with any distraction. ''What''s more, I have the title ''Alchemy maniac'' that can increase the sess rate by 25 percent...Haha,'' Ajax didn''t forget the effect of his title andughed which really made him look like a maniac. The title was a reward he got frompleting his first alchemy mission and he knew how tired he was when hepleted that mission. However, it rewarded him with an additional reward that made his hard work paid off. ''I canplete the mission within 6 hours,'' Ajax thought in his head and asked the system, ''Any rank 1 pills will be counted for this mission, right?'' ''Ding, Yes. As long as the refined pill is a rank 1, it counts. ''Ding, Series mission 1/3?is updated. The host needs to refine five different types of rank 1 pills with each type being 20 sessful refinements. "What the hell! The system, this is cheating," Ajax cursed when he saw the change in the system mission. Ajax felt that his previous boasting made the system offended and it increased the difficulty of the mission. However, the system doesn''t give any reply to his cursing as it doesn''t want to bother with him at all. ''Sigh¡­ I can''t even boast myself to encourage myself,'' Ajax sighed as he thought and without any other way, he looked at the pill recipes in his arsenal. However, the problem was he only had one rank 1 pill recipe on him. ''Where do I get other pill recipes? Looks like I should ask Qwerek or other elders,'' Ajax thought to ask the Hawk tribe but didn''t want to ask the system for its help. Just as he was thinking about a way to get pill recipes, his eyesnded on the opened book in his hand and his eyes sparkled all of a sudden. Because it was the contents page of that book and in the top lines there were two words with bold words ''Pill recipes''. He immediately opened that section of the book and got shocked by what he had seen. There were around 10-12 pill recipes in the rank 1 pill recipes sections that made him excited. What''s more exciting was that there were other higher rank pill recipes but the number of pill recipes decreased with the increase in their ranks. However, Ajax finally felt that the price he paid for the book was already bnced with these many pill recipes. Although all of the recipes in that book were the mostmon ones even in the Zrocheseter province, there were 1 or 2 pill recipes in each rank that was notmon in Zrochester province. "Let''s select the five easiest pill recipes and refine it," Ajax first searched the rank 1 ingredients he had in his space ring and then looked at the rank 1 pill recipes that required the least number of ingredients and cross-checked whether he had those ingredients or not with him. In the past, he gained knowledge about most of the ingredients below rank 5 with the help of the Alchemy king''s handbook. So, he didn''t have any problem while identifying the ingredients. After thoroughly checking all the pill recipes for nearly half an hour, he finally found 4 easiest pill recipes and 1 avg pill recipe that required more ingredients. ''First, I willplete refining these 4 pill recipes andter bother about the pill recipe with more ingredients,'' Ajax thought as he selected one pill recipe. Chapter 349: Blood Cleansing Pill

349 Blood Cleansing Pill

''Blood cleansing pill, you are the one,'' Ajax selected the easiest pill recipe that was very easy to refine in the rank 1 and started reading the refining process. The Blood cleansing pill required only three ingredients. They were blood cleansing flowers, blood cumin and fluxweed. Among the three ingredients, the main ingredient, blood cleaning flowers was the rarest but it''s not difficult to find in the five elemental world. After taking out 30 sets of ingredients from the space ring, Ajax stood up from his bed and sat on the floor as it wasfortable for him to refine the pills there. He ced all the 30 sets of ingredients around him and closed his eyes as he concentrated on the recently gained knowledge about the rank 1 alchemy. ''So, what I received from the system this time was how to refine the various ingredients,'' within a few minutes, he glimpsed through the knowledge about the refinement of these three ingredients. Previously, he got to know about the information about the herbs and how to identify them from the alchemy kings. Now, the system guide gave him the information about the refinement of each herb which gave him even more confidence and started refining the ingredients. That''s right, the refinement of each ingredient was different and it''s done differently. So with this knowledge, he gained most of the knowledge he needed about rank 1 alchemists. What he needed now the most was practice and that''s what the system was trying with the help of the missions. As for the book he bought from Mason, it could be used to learn the tips and techniques about refinement. ''I will study those after Iplete this mission,'' Ajax muttered as he looked at the book on the bed and resumed his refining. As soon as he started refining the herbs, an orange coloured me came out of his hand and covered the Blood cumin and the fluxweed. The control of the me was very fluent as though it was an extension of his hand as it slowly swallowed the ingredients. However, they were not burned; instead, a shining liquid came out of them before the ingredients turned to dust. ''Phew..nextes the most difficult part,'' Ajax released a breath before taking the red colour flower that had only 3 petals. As he stabilized the essence of the first two ingredients with the me refining technique, his other hand started refining the blood cleansing flower. The reason he refined blood cumin and fluxweed at the same time was that they need the same temperature for refinement whereas the blood cleaning flower needs a temperature less than them and have to be a little careful when refining it. Nevertheless, he was able to remove the essence of the blood cleansing flower that waspletely red. The three essences in his handsbined without any problem and turned into a single blood-red essence. Without wasting any time, he skillfully controlled the fire into a cauldron and threw thebined essence into it before closing with a lid that was made up of fire. As soon as he closed the cauldron, the intensity of the mes increased. From the ingredient refinement to the increment in the intensity of the mes, Ajax remained focused at each step and skillfully managed the fire that came with the basic fire refinement control technique. ''Ting'' After a few minutes, Ajax heard a sound that made him excited but he suppressed that excitement and didn''t open the lid to the fire cauldron; instead, he decreased the intensity of the mes slowly. Only after the intensity of the mes was at its minutes, Ajax slowly retracted the mes into his body. What left after retracting the mes were 10 shining blood-red coloured pills. ''Ding, Pill refinement is sessful. 10 high-level blood cleansing pills are sessfully refined. "Phew...Good," When he got the system notification he felt good however when he saw the high-level blood cleansing pills on the holographic screen he was excited. Generally, the refined pills were ssified into three levels. Low, Medium and High. The main difference between the three levels of pills was the level of impurities. Low-level pills have more than 70 percent impurities in it, medium-level pills have more than 50 perent impurities and as for the high-level pills, they have less than 20 percent impurities. So, when he saw that, Ajax was excited and felt proud of his refinement and continued to repeat the same process once again. However, he was not as lucky as the first time and failed when he was refining the blood cleansing flower. Even then, he was not disappointed as he understood it wasmon to fail sometimes and he knew he was still learning. With the same initial confidence he once again tried and this time he had sessfully refined another batch of pills which were all high-level ones. ...¡­ In the main room of the tribe leader''s house, As Ajax was refining one batch of pills after another, Qwerek took out the water gourd from his space ring and excitedly looked at it. ''Cretual, will take care of the tribe and Hawk captain will protect the tribe along with his unit. Now, I can peacefully cultivate without any worry and breakthrough to the Demi-King realm,'' Qwerek thought in his head looking at the gourd in his hand. This was his own room that was installed with many arrays and an ideal ce to cultivate as the essence of nature here was richer than outside and no noise could be heard from outside. Beforeing to his room, he settled all the things about the tribe and ordered everyone about their own roles during his secluded cultivation. The only thing he had to do now was to consume the thunder realm''s water and break through the Demi-king realm as soon as possible so that he could venture into the regions outside the Shixato wilds. Without wasting any time, he quickly opened the gourd and drank all the water before closing his eyes and started using his cultivation technique to refine the energy from the thunder realm''s water. As soon as he started cultivating, his body was surrounded by lightning sparks and with each passing second that lightning around him increased. At the same time, his aura started increasing. However, it was stopped all of a sudden at a particr time as though something was obstructing him from entering the demi-king realm. Nevertheless,?he continued to force his way towards that barrier that was making him impossible to enter that realm. ''Krack'' After forcing for around 30 minutes, finally, a crisp sound came from his body that made his previous tired expression into a smiling one and he continued to deliver the energy he got from the thunder realm''s water towards the cracked barrier. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' As Qwerek was trying to force his way into the demi-king''s realm with the help of the water, heavy clouds started to form above his house and rumbled making all the working Hawk tribesmen look at the sky. Chapter 350: Lightning Tribulation

350 Lightning Tribtion

"Look, the clouds above the tribe leader''s house," One of the tribesmen pointed at the looming clouds. "They don''t seem like normal clouds," another tribesman raised his brows for a moment and continued, "I remember now, they are tribtion clouds." "Tribtion clouds? What are they, head?" Many of the tribesmen looked at him and asked their head of the unit. "I once read in the history books of our tribe that when anyone reaches the top realm in the five elemental world, they have to cross the lightning sent by those clouds. Those clouds are called lightning clouds where the process is called ''Tribtion''," The head of the small construction unit exined about tribtion to his squad. The lightning tribtions were different in every world and the power from the lightning differs with each person. The more powerful the individual was, then the stronger the tribtion would be. "So, someone in our tribe is breaking through to the top realm?" One of the members of that unit excitedly asked his head while looking at the ck clouds in the sky. "Yes," the head nodded his head and looked at the tribe leader''s house and continued, "Some time ago, I heard that our tribe leader went into seclusion and since he was the only one closer to reach top realm, then the tribtion might be for him." While saying that, all the time there were two kinds of expressions on his face. One was a happy expression because it was a good thing for the tribe and the other one was a worried expression because if the tribtion failed then their tribe leader would die without a doubt. ''Tribe leader is always careful, so he must have a n to block or evade this tribtion,'' However, he hoped for the best in his mind. Simrly, every other construction unit was discussing about the tribtion clouds and learned from their unit heads. .... In Ajax''s room, "Phew¡­..Still, five more refinements to go," Ajax took a long breath and continued to refine the next batch of pills. From thest 30 or so minutes, Ajax refined around 20 refinements. In which, 15 refinements were sessful and only 5 refinements were failed. The 5 failed refinements were failed at the start and with each sessful refinement, he was able to refine the blood cleansing pills without much worry. And, for thest 5 sessful refinements, he didn''t fail even once making him excited and wanted to refine more pills. Also, the most important thing was all the pills from his sessful refinements were high-level ones except for a very few pills that were medium level. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' Just as he was about to remove the essence from the blood cumin and fluxweed, he was disturbed by loud rumbling sounds which made him stop the refinements. He didn''t dare to continue refining the pills as he knew it was impossible to refine them with such a disturbance. As soon as he came out of his room, he saw the four elders and joined them. "Hey Ajax," Krico and others looked at Ajax and greeted him before looking back at the tribtion clouds. "Hello Elders," Ajax greeted them back and observed the clouds above the tribe leader''s house. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to know what was happening. He didn''t even need to ask anyone about it because he knew about the tribtions. In Elder Boron''s stories, many of the top-level cultivators always went through these tribtions to reach an even higher power. So, without a doubt, he rted these clouds to the lightning clouds that were rumbling with thunders and surrounded by the shes of the lightning. ''But, still, Elder Boron never exined about the cultivation realms while telling those stories,'' Ajax shook his head at Elder Boron''s secrecy about that information and thought, "I wonder where he is and did he knew about the incident at the Silver Orphanage." Except for his friends from the Silver Orphanage, Elder Boron was the only member, he thought, as his family member who taught him various things. So, he regrly thought about Elder Boron. ''Looks like, Elder Qwerek already started his secluded cultivation. But still, isn''t it just too early for the tribtion?'' Ajax concluded that Qwerek had started his seclusion; however, what puzzled him the more was it had been just a little more than 30 minutes before he left the meeting hall and ording to him, the tribtion clouds appeared very soon. Generally, tribtion clouds appear only when the cultivator almost enters into the top realm and thinking back to the time taken by the Elder Qwerek, Ajax felt puzzled but he assumed that Qwerek cultivation must be one step into the Demi-King realm. "Where is the first elder, Cretual?" Ajax asked after looking at his surroundings as Cretual was not present with the other elders. "Huh?" Eica, who was watching the tribtion anxiously as she worried about the tribe leader, looked at Ajax and said, "He has some things to do, so he is not with us." After giving her reply, she once again resumed her anxiousness. ''Now, he is an acting tribe leader, right? I forgot,'' Ajax suddenly remembered Elder Qwerek''s words to the first elder and the Hawk captain while leaving the meeting hall and nodded his head. He also joined the other Elders and continued to watch the tribtions which might strike its lighting bolts any time now. "Just a little, just a little bit more," As they were waiting, inside the tribe leader''s house Qwerek gritted his teeth and continued to ram the barrier that was blocking him from entering the Demi-King realm. However, he didn''t struggle for long before that small crack becamerger andrger with the continuous ramming. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Within a few seconds, the barrier finally broke and the pure lightning elemental essence rushed into the next realm and with that he had officially be the Demi-King realm expert. ''Hahaha'' Qwerek startedughing when he reached the Demi-King realm but suppressed his excitement as he now had a true obstacle and he had to cross it and only then he could enjoy the fruits of his strength. ''Let theme now,'' Even then he had a small smile on his face as though he had enough confidence in crossing that hurdle and took out a few array tes. Among them, he took out one that was much bigger than other tes and lightly tapped it. As soon as he tapped it, a huge barrier covered the entire Lightning Hawk Dragon tribe. The barrier was majestic as it was constantly moving like waves and filled with a few lightning sparks. As soon as the barrier was activated another barrier formed underneath it that looked exactly the same as the first barrier. "Woah" All the onlooking tribesmen were mesmerized by the barrier''s beauty and the lightning sparks it was emitting. Since they had the affinity with the lightning elements, they were truly attracted by the barrier''s beauty. "They activated the barrier. Looks like it was about to start," Erek clenched his hands as he looked at the double barriers and thought about something in his head. Chapter 351: True use of Barriers

351 True use of Barriers

"I hope this goes as nned," Erek looked at the barriers and then the tribtion clouds above the barriers as he thought in his head. "Don''t worry," Kraiww and others also thought the same but they confidently said to the second elder. "Yes and if everything goes well, our tribe''s overall strength might rise greatly," Erek smiled at the other elders who were younger than him trying to give confidence to him. "That''s for sure," All the three elders nodded their heads and expectantly looked at the lightning clouds. ''Will that really help the whole tribe raise their strengths?'' Ajax thought in his head as he didn''t know about this type of information regarding the tribtion clouds. ''Buzz'' ''Boom'' As he was thinking about this, a blue coloured lightning bolt suddenly came from the tribtion clouds andnded on the topyer of the barrier and a loud explosion resounded all over the Hawk tribe. "This is more powerful than I thought," Ajax looked at the first lightning bolt that disappeared as soon as itnded on the barrier and felt shocked. Although he knew about these tribtions and he felt that he greatly underestimated the lightning tribtions. Since he never saw them with his true eyes and only heard from Elder Boron''s stories, he felt excited and shocked to see a real one now. ''The first lightning strike is already this powerful, I wonder how powerful the next lightning strikes will be?'' Ajax muttered as he was eager to see how powerful the strikes could be and at the same time, he prayed for Qwerek to sessfully cross this tribtion. "Huh?" As Ajax was eagerly waiting for the next lightning strike he sensed the lightning essence of nature around him bing richer and purer than before leaving him in a surprise. ''Th..this..essence purity is almost as rich and pure as the grade 1 elemental paradise''s essence of nature,'' Ajax was very sensitive towards the essence of nature from a young age and he was able topare the purity of the essence of nature in his surroundings. "What is happening?" "The lightning essence of nature is richer than before," "Yeah. I am about to break through tomander realm," "Me too. I am stuck in themander realm for who knows how many years and finally I am about to enter the elitemander realm," .. ¡­ All the hawk tribesmen that were watching the lightning tribtion felt that the essence of nature around them became pure and along with it, they sensed that their stagnant cultivation also started rising. With that, they started shouting excitedly and sat on the ground to cultivate with a serious expression on their faces. However, the problem was if it was observed by one person directly, he would die before he could use that much lightning essence for his cultivation. So, Ajax was easily thought that the barrier must be the one that was helping in increasing the purity of the essence in the Hawk tribe. "That''s right. The two barriers can store the energy from lightning strikes and evenly disperse that energy in the area covered by the barrier," Erek helped Ajax understand the purpose of the barriers. Ajax nodded his head in understanding as he already guessed it. "However there is another use from these barriers, it will help tribe leader Qwerek preserve his strength and at the same time, he can stabilize his cultivation with the enhanced essence of nature from the barrier," Kraiww exined the true purpose of the barriers they were currently using. "It''s awesome," Ajax was truly surprised now as he hadn''t thought about this possibility. The lightning tribtion increases the power of the lightning strikes with each round so that the cultivator that was going through the tribtions must be in his peak condition to be able to block them. Since a recently broke though cultivator would be in an unstabilized condition it was very dangerous for him to face the lightning tribtions; however, if he wants the strength then he must cross those tribtions. Now, with the help of the barriers, not only all the Hawk tribesmen''s cultivation increased but at the same time, there was enough time for Qwerek to stabilize his cultivation of the Demi-King realm. "Before the tribe leader went into seclusion, he gave control over the bottomyer of the barrier whereas the topyer was activated by the tribe leader himself," Kraiww briefly said about Qwerek''s nning about his breakthrough. "So, Elder Qwerek nned it all along," Ajax was awed by Qwerek''s foresight about his tribe and his cultivation. "Hahaha...he is known for his intelligence in all the three tribes for nothing. When ites to the tribe he thinks a lot and only if he had enough confidence he would not try it," Erek said as he looked at Ajax''s awed expression. ''Then why were you worried earlier,'' Ajax''s awed expression reced by a little mocked expression as he muttered under his breath. "Next time, think in your mind," Erek raised his brows and continued, " There are some cases, tribe leaders failed and this is the first time that one of us is going through a lightning tribtion. So, of course, we are worried." "Oh. Sorry elder," Ajax looked at the seriousness in Erek''s face and immediately apologized. However, in his mind, he thought, ''Did I really mutter that loud?'' "Hahaha" All the three elders looked at Ajax and Erek as they startedughing which lessened their worry. It''s exactly as Elder Erek said, there was no guarantee when ites to ying with the lightning tribtion. So, there was a tiny bit of worry in them whether their n would be sessful or not. ''If the lightning essence of nature bes richer and purer than the grade 2 elemental paradise then I will summon my auxiliary thunder elemental spirit,'' Ajax thought in his mind and looked at the second lightning strike that came out of the tribtion clouds. ''Boomm'' Just like the first lightning strike, the second lighting strike was also blocked by the top barrier and dispersed the energy from it into the barrier making the essence of nature in the Hawk tribe to a grade 1 elemental paradise level. It was more powerful than the first lightning strike but still, it was blocked by the barrier without a problem. "Woah," Ajax felt that his spirit consciousness was filling faster and excited. It was like getting benefitted for doing nothing. Not only him but the elders beside him also looked surprised and sat on the ground and started cultivating. Among all the onlookers, the one who was most excited was none other than the Hawk tribesman as they felt their stagnated cultivations breakthrough and it was not stopped there but continued to increase, one minor realm after another. Looking at them, Ajax also sat on the ground but he didn''t start cultivating; instead, he waited for the third lightning strike which would be even more powerful than the second strike. ''Here ites,'' Ajax muttered as he looked at the third lighting strike. Chapter 352: Snow Wakes Up

352 Snow Wakes Up

''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' The lightning bolt that came out from the tribtion cloud was muchrger than the earlier strikes. ''I think, the barrier can''t stop this one,'' Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart as soon as he saw how big that strike was. "Boomm" Within seconds, the lightning strike touched the top barrier; however, unlike previous lightning strikes, it did not disappear after touching the top barrier. Instead, it prated into the top barrier and destroyed the barrier before touching the bottom barrier. As soon as it touched the bottom barrier, it shook for a while before the lightning strike disappeared. ''Uff¡­.that was a close one,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as the bottomyer was able to block the lightning strike. ''I think, it''s impossible to block the next one,'' Ajax thought about the next lightning strike that was being prepared by the tribtion cloud. "Everyone, use this essence of nature to break through as soon as possible that barrier might notst that next strike," As Ajax was thinking about the fourth lighting strike, he heard Erek''s loud words to the Hawk tribe members. All the elders had already noticed what had happened with the top barrier and urged others to breakthrough as much as possible. After the third lightning strike, the lightning essence of nature in the Hawk tribe had be even richer than a grade 2 elemental paradise. So, Erek urged them to cultivate before the bottomyer was destroyed. ''This essence is richer than grade 2 elemental paradise. I shouldn''t waste this essence,'' With that thought in his mind, he quickly summoned Cerauno from his inner world. "Woah¡­ he has an auxiliary elemental spirit?" Eica eximed as she looked at the thunder elemental spirit in front of Ajax. "He has two rare elemental affinities. Truly a genius," Other elders were also surprised as they looked at Cerauno. But they didn''t bother about those things as they were used to Ajax''s surprises. ''Utilize as much as the essence of nature you can. Do you understand?'' Ajax didn''t wait for his reply or didn''t bother with the elders'' words and sat on the ground and started cultivating. Cerauno, after staying in the mini-thunder pool for a while he had sessfully reached level 8 in the elite spirit soldier realm. There were no changes to his transparent form and he still looked the same. Cerauno also didn''t give any reply to Ajax as he was excited to see such rich lighting essence of nature and immediately sat beside Ajax?and started cultivating. Simrly, the elders also returned back to their cultivation as the rich essence of nature around them could help them break through one or two minor realms. As everyone was busy in cultivation, Elder Qwerek in his room watched the broken array te in his hand and shook his head. However, there was no worry in his face as he felt that he could still sessfully cross the lightning tribtion. Because, from the time he activated the top barrier, he focused on stabilizing his cultivation and he stabilized over 50 percent of it before the barrier was destroyed which made him stop his cultivation. ''I hope he will stay strong,'' After saying this, he once again closed his eyes and resumed his stabilizing process. It was already great that he had stabilized more than 50 percent of his newly gained strength but he wanted to have 100 percent, so that he didn''t need to worry about the tribtion. ¡­. In one of the rooms of the tribe leader''s house, "Damn, that their lightning strike just touched the barrier and I already felt shaken from it," The birdman who looked around 40 years of age gritted his teeth as he muttered. In his hands, there was a simr-looking array te that was just destroyed in the Qwerek''s hands. The birdman was none other than first elder Cretual, who was appointed as an acting tribe leader until Qwerek came out of his seclusion. When the tribtion started, the entire tribe was covered by two barriers. While one of the barriers was operated by Qwerek, the other one was operated by Cretual on the orders of Qwerek. Since he was not as proficient as Qwerek in arrays and array tes, he felt his inners were shaken when the third lightning strike had touched the bottom barrier. Nevertheless, that didn''t stop him from not leaving the array te in his hand as he focused even more after that third lightning strike and waited for the fourth lightning strike. ''I can do this. I just need to block this from reaching Qwerek and thest tribtion will be taken care of by Qwerek himself,'' He thought as he injected more essence of nature into the array te. ¡­.. Outside the tribe leader''s house, All the Hawk tribesmen and Ajax along with elemental spirit absorbed the rich lightning elemental essence of nature without wasting any time. Ajax was just filling his spirit consciousness which was expended when he refined the pills earlier. Among all members who were outside the tribe leader''s house, Cerauno was the one with highest cultivation speed as he crazily absorbed the essence of nature and broke through a couple of minor realms already and reached the peak of the elite spirit soldier realm. As for the elders, since their cultivations were already very high to begin with, so their cultivation speed was almost negligible Rest of the tribe members were also breaking through at their own pace. Among the tribe members, the young elite ones were having an easy time breaking through as their talent was good enough and along with the rich essence of nature. The slowest ones were the ones that had average to no talent in cultivation but still, they were able to make good progress. As everyone was busy with their cultivation, there was something happening in Ajax''s inner world which made him stop rotating his level 2 heaven and earth refining technique and look into the inner world. "What?" When he looked into the inner world, Ajax was shocked and soon it was reced by a happy expression. It was because of Snow, the lightning dragon hawk finally woke up from its slumber after absorbing the inheritance of the lightning dragon hawk emperor. The first thing it did after awakening from its slumber was tomunicate with Ajax. "Master, I sense a pure lightning elemental essence of nature. Can you let me out," a little girl''s soft voice was heard in his head that shocked him. ''Snow, you can speak now?'' Ajax asked with a happy expression on his face and carefully observed the changes in her. The current Snow''s height had be much smaller than before as it now only had the height of only 1 meter. However, its beak and talons had be sharper and they were shining. "Okaye on out," Ajax didn''t think much before summoning Snow and allowed it to absorb the rich essence of nature around them. "It only reached the strength of peak rank 4 stage?" Ajax puzzled at the strength of the Lightning Hawk after absorbing the inheritance. However, before he could think any further, he got a system notification that made him raise his brows. Chapter 353: Re-Cultivation

353 Re-Cultivation

''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast is trying to break through to the rank 5 which is not possible due to the host''s low strength. ''What?'' Ajax didn''t understand what the system was saying as he pondered about the meaning behind those words. ''From the words, I can understand that because of my low cultivation, Snow is unable to break through to the rank 5; however, Raweth sessfully breakthrough to the general realm and even reached level 2 in that,'' Ajax thought back to Raweth how he had no problem in reaching the general realm that had a simr strength as that of rank 5. So, he was unable to understand the logic behind the system''s words. ''Ding, Only one of the host''s spirit beasts can have a 2 major realm difference and all the other spirit beasts are limited to one major realm difference. "Huh? So, it''s like this," All his doubts were rified after looking at thetest system notification. Earlier when he formed a contract with the ck kitty, its rank 6 cultivation was also limited to peak rank 4 which he thought that the system sealed it just like the other three rank 6 spirit beasts and he did;t think much about it as he was already very annoyed with the smell. "Snow, don''t force yourself," Ajax bitterly smiled as he stopped Snow to forcefully break into the rank 5. Snow looked at him and didn''t understand why her master was stopping him from breaking through into rank 5. ''You can''t break through to the rank 5 unless I reach level 1 of the elitemander realm,'' Ajaxmunicated with her. ''Nods'' She nodded her head as though she understood something and once again closed her eyes before starting her cultivation once again. ''Huh? What is she doing?'' Ajax didn''t understand what Snow was doing and wanted to ask her. Just when he was about to ask her, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that surprised him. ''Ding, The host''s spirit beast initiated the re-cultivation process. ''Ding, Do you agree? Yes / No "Re-cultivation?" Ajax was surprised and happily agreed to the process. As soon as he agreed to the process, the rich lightning essence of nature surrounding them was sucked into Snow''s body and formed a thinyer. It didn''t stop with a singleyer but the process was repeated asyer afteryer stacked on the firstyer and finally formed into an egg shape thatpletely covered Snow. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see the egg in front of him; however, that shock didn''tst for much longer as he remembered about the re-cultivation process. Re-cultivation was the process in which a spirit beasts starts cultivating once again from the beginning. However, the second time they follow the major cultivation realms instead of ranks. So, Ajax was excited to see the humanoid form of Snow. It didn''t take much time for the egg to break before Ajax saw a little girl of around 10 years age covered in white feather clothing with two tiny wings behind her. As soon as the little girl came out she immediately closed her eyes and started observing the rich lighting essence from the surroundings. ''Woah, she is cute,'' Ajax looked at her and thought in his?mind. She had small white hair with light blue eyes and fair skin. Just looking at her one could get a little sister vibe from her. When she came out of the egg, her previous cultivation was entirely gone and she now had the strength of level 1 of the soldier realm. However, within just a few seconds she had a breakthrough and reached level 2 and then level 3 and that flow continued. ''Woah, the speed is much quicker than me,'' While observing her cultivation speed, Ajax thought back to his initial cultivation level-ups where he levelled up using the system. It was much faster than using the system to break through which made him excited. ''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' "Boomm" ''Kacha kachaa'' As he was feeling excited with the process of re-cultivation of Snow, the fourth lightning strike buzzed and came out of the tribtion cloud as itnded on the bottom barrier. The bottom barrier blocked the lightning strike for a few seconds before small cracks started forming on it and it exploded all of a sudden. However, the good thing was the pure energy from the fourth lightning strike was sessfully dispersed into the Hawk tribe which increased the cultivation speed of all the cultivators. Except for the elders, all the Hawk tribe members opened their eyes to look at their surroundings before resuming their cultivation. As for Ajax, he didn''t cultivate as his spirit consciousness was filling on its own and he knew it would be filled in a few minutes without him cultivating. ''Come on Snow, you can reach your cultivation back,'' Ajax encouraged the 10-year-old little girl and wanted her to reach the elitemander realm which was equal to the rank 4 strength. When the essence of nature from the fourth lightning strike filled the hawk tribe, Snow directly broke through to the elite soldier realm and the speed at which she was breaking through also increased, making Ajax happy and hoped to see how far she could go with this essence of nature. ''Huh?'' As soon as he breakthrough to the elite soldier realm, her looks and height also changed from 10 years to 12 years which made him Ajax wonder, ''Will she be more aged after every breakthrough?'' This doubt didn''tst much longer as Snow already reached the peak of the elite soldier realm and was about to enter themander realm and eagerly observed any changes in her. ''Swoosh'' In the next moment, Snow sessfully entered the level 1 of themander realm and her appearance changed into a 15-year-old young girl. Her small white hair had grown long and her face became more beautiful. The most important thing was the dress. It was a pure white feather gown that fitted to her body as though it was made for her. "What? An artifact?" As Ajax was focusing on her dress he got a system notification that made him shocked and he didn''t expect that gown was an artifact. ''Ding, Artifact name:- Feather Gown Grade:- Heaven grade Effect:- 1) Blocks 50 percent of the lightning attacks. 2) Absorbs the energy from the lightning attacks to heal the owner of the gown. Description:- A Gown that was birthed by the feathers of the Lightning Dragon Hawk with a unique technique during the re-cultivation process. "Is it just for Snow or all the other lightning hawks had that ability?" Ajax blurted out loud after reading the effects and description of the Feather Gown. He was shocked by what kind of concept this was. If every spirit beasts use the re-cultivation process, they would truly dominate the other worlds. Once imagine, if every unevolved spirit beast from the three tribes evolved into their humanoid forms and received an artifact, then they were truly scary. "I will say," As he was wondering, Ajax heard a voice and turned towards the direction of the voice and was surprised. Chapter 354: A Special One

354 A Special One

The owner of the voice was none other than the first elder, Cretual who was supposed to control the bottom barrier. Since the bottom barrier was destroyed, he became free and came out of the tribe leader''s house. The reason Ajax was surprised because the first elder''s face lookedpletely tired and there were bloodstains on his robes. "What happened to you, Elder Cretual?" Ajax asked him keeping his earlier question aside. "Huh? Nothing. It''s just that I am not as talented as tribe leader Qwerek when ites to arrays," Cretual shook his head with a small smile on his face. "First elder, what are the chances of?our tribe leader crossing the tribtions?" Kriaww and other elders asked Cretual. Since he was the most knowledgeable person next to the tribe leader Qwerek, all the elders asked him about Qwerek''s chances with the tribtions. "We have sessfully blocked four lightning strikes and just need one more. I think the tribe leader had sessfully stabilized more than 60 percent of his cultivation," Cretual smiled at all the elders who were worried about Qwerek and continued, "ording to me he has more than 80 percent chances." "80 percent?" All the elders were puzzled and soon their faces were filled with worried expressions. The reason was they thought the tribe leader would have 95 percent but all of a sudden it was decreased to 80 percent made them worried. "..." When he saw the expressions on all the elder''s faces, the first elder became speechless and pped Kriaww and Krail who were standing nearer to him. "You really didn''t understand anything about lightning tribtions?" Cretual shook his head and continued, "It is already considered good. So, don''t worry and have some faith in our tribe leader." "Oh," All the elders nodded their heads and resumed their cultivation as they finally felt their confidencee back when they heard Cretual''s words. After his exnation, Cretual looked at Snow, who was immersed in her cultivation and answered Ajax''s earlier question. "Generally, when a spirit beast initiates the re-cultivation process to evolve into a humanoid form, there is a certain of obtained an artifact from that was made up of their own spirit beast body," Cretual answered as he pointed at a ring on his finger. "This ring is the one that I had got after evolving from the spirit beast form. I don''t even remember how many years have passed since then," Cretual had a smile on his face as he thought about his past. "Oh," Ajax nodded his head as he understood the meaning behind his words. Only a few spirit beasts could obtain an artifact when they evolve and most of them would evolve without one. So, Ajax was excited as his Snow was one of those who had obtained an artifact. Even though Ajax didn''t want to ask this question, he felt that his Snow should be the most special one since she had the highest purity of bloodlinebined with the absorbed inheritance of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor. With these two things, she should have formed a Legendary grade artifact but she had formed a low-level heaven grade one which was even lowpared to Cretual. He was not saying that Cretual doesn''t have the highest purity of bloodline but Snow had the inheritance along with the bloodline. So, he thought his luck must have been bad. "Hahaha...I already guessed you will ask this question," Cretualughed and replied to Ajax with a question, "Do you know what my artifact grade was when I obtained it?" "What?" Ajax was shocked to hear that question and something suddenly a thought came to his head and continued, "Are you saying that your artifact evolved from a low grade one?" "That''s right. When I obtained it was at low-level earth grade and along with my cultivation, it''s grade also increased" Cretaul nodded his head and smilingly exined while looking at the tribtion cloud which was preparing its final lightning strike. "Really? I know it my Snow is really a special one," Ajax was excited as the thought in his head was matched with Cretual''s words and looked at the young beautiful girl in a white gown that looked like an angel with wings. "Of course she is a special one. Do you know that artifact on her had the potential to reach mythical grade? So better take care of her and help her reach higher realms," When he looked at Snow, he automatically wanted to worship her due to her high bloodline purity. So, he asked Ajax to help her in reaching higher realms. Not only the first elders, all the other elders and tribe members were suppressed by her bloodline purity. "Mythical grade? Even if she doesn''t have an artifact, I would help her," Ajax just wanted his Snow to be a special one from the other lightning hawks. In reality, he would help all his spirit beasts to be as strong as possible. "It''s good to hear," The first elder was satisfied with Ajax''s character and sat on the ground to heal his internal injuries. "By the way, I forgot to ask. Did she absorb theplete inheritance of the lightning dragon hawk emperor?" Just before he was closing his eyes, the first elder remembered something and immediately opened his eyes and curiously asked Ajax. "Yes, just a few moments earlier she has woken up from her slumber after absorbing the inheritance," Ajax smilingly nodded his head as he exined about Snow. "SO, that was the reason for her to obtain a simr artifact as Lighting Dragon Hawk Emperor," Cretual nodded his head while he talked to himself making Ajax confused. "Huh? What does that mean, first elder?" Ajax asked curiously as he wanted to know more about their ancestor. "I think the reason she was able to obtain a white feather gown must be rted to the inheritance. Because our ancestor had a white feather shirt as his artifact. So, there must be some information about how to form the artifact in that inheritance," Cretual said his assumption to Ajax before closing his eyes as though he wanted to heal his wounds first before exining any of Ajax''s questions. "Excellent," Ajax''s excitement had no boundaries at all after hearing Cretual''s words. It was not an easy thing to reach the realm that the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor had reached and he still didn''t even know what realm that emperor had ascended to. However, it was not a realm that everyone could reach. So, when he thought that Snow had that chance, his excitement had no limits at all. "This re-cultivation process seems to be a good thing. I should try to make all the spirit beasts in my arsenal to go through this process if they like," Ajax thought about extending this re-cultivation process to his other spirit beasts. Re-cultivation helps the spirit beasts be more powerful than the cultivators in the same realm. So, he wanted to make all his spirit beasts into evolved ones. ''However, I don''t know how to make them go through this process,'' Ajax thought about the problem with the re-cultivation process but he soon shook his head as he left that matter to the future. Chapter 355: Legendary grade artifac

355 Legendary grade artifac

''I still didn''t check her new skills or bloodline purity,'' Ajax thought in his head as he looked at Snow and tried to know the information of her skills. ''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' The fifth lightning that was almost as thick as a meter wide buzzed towards the tribe leader''s house with an incredible speed which made Ajax turn his focus towards it. Except for Cretual, all the other elders had opened their eyes as they were unable to cultivate peacefully while their tribe leader was going through the lightning tribtions. As for Cretual, he was entirely focused on healing his internal injuries from the fourth lightning strike. It looked like he was not worried about Qwerek and remained motionless as he greedily absorbed all the rich lightning essence of nature surround him. Whereas the tribe members were entirely focused on their cultivations. It was not because they never cared about their tribe leader but it was the opposite. They had enough confidence in him that he could sessfully cross the lightning tribtion, so they were not worried about him and focused on improving their strengths. ''You can do it Uncle Qwerek. I have faith in you,'' From the distance, the Hawk captain looked at Qwerek and confidently looked in the direction of the tribe leader''s house. Although he acted carefree in front of the tribe leader, in actuality, he cared about the tribe more than anybody and that was the reason he started studying about artifacts. ording to him,?if there was a suitable artifact, then he could bring the tribe to glory. However, he didn''t cultivate less and allocated the equal timings to both his cultivation and artifact making. ''Boomm'' Soon, the fifth lightning strikended on the tribe leader''s house and the house was sted into pieces but this the lightning strike didn''t stop as it rushed towards the meditating Qwerek as though it doesn''t want Qwerek to live anymore. After the tribe leader''s house was destroyed, Ajax and other elders were able to see Qwerek who looked much younger than before and almost looked like a middle-aged birdman. However, no one bothered about his appearance as there was more important matter than it. Just when the lightning strike was about tond on Qwerek, he took out an umbre that had a mixed colour of blue with White and smiled as though he was having the confidence in blocking this attack. "It''s tribe leader''s artifact from evolving into his humanoid form," Eica eximed at the sight of the umbre. "I heard that it had almost reached the legendary grade. Is it real, brother?" Krail asked his brother. "I think only the first elder knows about it but he is still healing. So let''s wait and see," Kraiww concluded their conversation and expectantly looked at the artifact in Qwerek''s hand. ''Huh?'' Ajax''s curious nature came out when he heard their conversations and tried to appraise the artifact with the system. ''Ding, The host needs to be in contact with the artifact to know its information. "So, I need to be in contact with it," Ajax nodded his head as he understood. Since he was the master of the Snow, he was able to know the details of Snow''s white gown withouting into contact with it. Whereas for the artifacts of others, he needs to touch it to know about it. ''Buzz'' ''Shussh'' The lightning strikended on the umbre and the umbre was barely able to block the attack but still, the lightning strike didn''t disappear; instead, it continued to force its way into the umbre. "What the heck," Ajax was shocked and excited at the same time at the umbre in Qwerek''s hands which was maintaining its stand against the powerful lightning strike. ''I think it must have already reached the legendary grade just like elders had discussed,'' Ajax thought in his head as he confirmed the grade of the artifact. When the system said to touch the artifact to know about the artifact details, he assumed that the artifact had reached the legendary grade as he knew he could appraise most of the artifacts in the Heaven grade and coupled with his standing against the lightning strike, Ajax concluded it as a legendary grade artifact. ''Boomm'' As Ajax and elders were busy watching the fighting between the lightning strike and the umbre, they heard a loud noise and looked at Snow, whose strength had already reached the peak level 10 of the elitemander realm in a few minutes causing a shock to all the onlookers. "What am I seeing?" "Is it for real?" "When I re-cultivated, it took me 10 days to reach my past cultivation. What is happening here?" "Where should I cry when I took 30 days to go back to my peak cultivation after re-cultivating," All the elders were utterly shocked at Snow''s monstrously cultivation speed and recalled their own cultivation speed when they re-cultivated. At that time, they already thought that they were the geniuses with highest cultivation speed in their tribe; however, they soon shook their heads as they thought they could not even hold a candle in front of Snow''s cultivation speed. ''Ding, Suppressing the host''s evolved spirit beast to the peak rank 4 stage due to his current low cultivation. Ajax''s mind was still in disarray when he got a system notification that made him bitterly shake his head. ''I shouldplete more ''A'' danger rating missions,'' He felt guilty that he was the one limiting Snow''s potential and swore that he should increase his cultivation as soon as possible to not limit any of his spirit beasts strength for much longer. ''However, the problem is that I only have one ''A'' danger rating mission and it will surely take more time. I hope the system gives some reasonable ''A'' danger rating mission soon,'' He thought about his problem and that was theck of ''A'' danger rating system missions and hoped to get more missions to increase his strength. Although Ajax now had 5 minor realm boost from the energy orb that was stored in his spirit consciousness, it was not enough to reach the next major realm. So, he waited for one more energy orb before using all them in one go and reaching the elitemander realm. As he was wandering in his thoughts, Snow gracefully walked towards him and stood beside him without taking anything and observed the fifth lightning strike that was pressing Qwerek''s umbre towards the ground. Ajax also didn''t ask her about anything and also not checked her new skills for the time being and waited for the lightning tribtions to be over soon. Then he could take his own time in checking her skills. From time to time, Snow looked at the Elders who were looking at her and politely smiled. When they saw that, all the Elders felt happy for some unknown reason and watched tribe leader Qwerek along with Ajax and Snow. As time passed, the attack power of the lightning strike also started to dissipate and started bing weaker. ''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' Unexpectedly, at the same time, another lighting strike came out of the tribtion clouds making all who were observing Qwereek shocked. Chapter 356: Attacking the lightning strike

356 Attacking the lightning strike

The reason for their shock was they didn''t expect that another lightning strike woulde out of the tribtion cloud. ording to their knowledge from the tribe''s records, when one of the Hawk tribe members crosses the lightning tribtions, only five lightning strikes would be used to test that cultivator. So, when they saw the unexpected lightning strike all the onlookers became shocked and started worrying. Qwerek, who was using all his strength in blocking the fifth lightning strike was entirely focusing on it and didn''t notice it until the sixth lightning strikended on his umbre. As soon as the sixth lightning strike hadnded on the umbre, Qwerek''s already tired face became even more tired and pale. However, the good thing was the umbre was still intact even after two lightning strikes hadnded on it making all the onlookers marvelled at the umbre. ''Kacha'' Just as everyone?was thinking that the umbre was very strong, unexpectedly a small crack formed on it and along with it, the umbre started shaking as though he would be destroyed anytime now. Qwerek gritted his teeth and muttered something and as soon as he did that the umbre which was shaking earlier had be stiff and even forced back the two lightning strikes. "Hurray...the tribe leader still has his tricks," "Yes yes. He always has a backup n for emergencies," "Do you forget, how tribe leader managed to kill 10000 spirit beasts without even taking a step out of his house," "How can I forget his magnificent nning," All the worried Hawk tribe members once again became excited when Qwerek used some trick to enhance his artifact''s strength and made it equally strong with the two lightning strikes and thought about Qwerek''s past achievements that he had won just by using his intelligence. "What a strong artifact!" Ajax''s interest in those artifacts that would be obtained from evolving was increased to another level and eximed while looking at the umbre in Qwerek''s hands. ''I should definitely find a way to make my spirit beasts re-cultivate into humanoid forms and it is better than the temporary human transformation that was obtained after reaching a certain realm,'' Ajax thought about the benefits of the re-cultivation process once again. Normally, all the spirit beasts could transform into human forms after reaching a certain realm but it was only temporary and it wouldn''tst more than a few days. Compared to that transformation, Ajax preferred the humanoid form which would not only increase the battle prowess for that spirit beast but there was also a chance that they would also obtain an artifact. However, the stable umbre in Qwerek''s hand started shaking once again and his face also became more and more pale. As soon as the tribe leader Qwerek finished his words, the first elder Cretual opened his eyes immediately and took out five small array tes and threw them at the five elders. "Now, everyone, move to your ces and activate the formation," Cretual didn''t wait for their reply and moved a little bit closer towards the tribe leader''s house and sat on the ground before injecting his essence of nature into it. The rest of the elders also didn''t dare to dy any longer. As soon as they caught the array tes they dispersed into different directions and surrounded the tribe leader''s house. After surrounding, just like the first elder, they sat on the ground and started injecting their essence of nature into the array tes. "Everyone, now activate the formation," The first elder shouted as though he already knew that all the elders were in their positions. ''Woah. Looks like this is not their first time using this type of formations,'' Ajax remembered the 1-5-12 formation from the earlier and their exact coordination with each other, Ajax excitedly looked at the new formation. As soon as the first elder finished his words, five beams of light came out from the five array tes that were surrounding the tribe leader''s house and attacked the sixth lightning strike. "So, they are trying to attack the lightning strike. But it will make the tribtion clouds even angrier, right?" Ajax muttered as he observed their process of fighting the lightning strikes. ording to him, whenever anyone tries to help a cultivator in crossing the tribtion, the tribtion cloud would make things difficult for that cultivator. So, no one was willing to take such a risk in asking help from others while going through the lightning tribtions. However, what Ajax found weird was that tribe leader Qwerek was taking help from the beginning of his lightning tribtion. As a result, the tribtion cloud sent a sixth lightning strike at him. "Then, why is he taking even more help from the elders?" Ajax continued to mutter himself and felt something was amiss. "Oh...our tribe''s child had finally evolved. This is great..this is great," As he was talking to himself, he heard a familiar voice from a distance and turned to look at the owner of the voice. "Huh? Why are you so excited, Hawk captain," Ajax asked with a frown on his face. He felt that this Hawk captain was excited a little bit more than elders that made Ajax raise his brows. "Oh..no no, don''t take me in the wrong way. I am just excited to see a high bloodline purity fellow tribe member. I hope it will help our tribe in one way or another...Haha," The Hawk captain noticed Ajax''s frown and exined the reason for his excitement. "One way or another way? Please be more specific," Ajax stood in front of Snow and looked at the Hawk captain and asked him to be more specific. "Because she has the possibility of reaching the same realm as that of the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor. So before she leaves to the greater worlds, she can leave behind some type of inheritance for the younger generations in order to motivate them in cultivating," The Hawk captain shook his head at Ajax''s over-protectiveness towards Snow. "Oh...Ok," Ajax nodded his head after understanding the Hawk captain''s words; however, he still kept his guard towards the Hawk captain. "Snow, Say hello to grandpa Hawk captain," Ajax smiled inside his heart as he asked Snow to greet the Hawk Captain. "Hello grandpa Hawk captain," Snow smiled beautifully while greeting him. "Who are you calling Grandpa. Do I look that old to you?" The Hawk captain shouted at Ajax before looking at Snow and asked her in a gentle tone, "Just call me Uncle but don''t call me that in front of other elders or tribe leader, ok?" Even though the Hawk captain said in a gentle tone, Snow looked at Ajax as though it was asking him what she should call him. "..." The Hawk captain became speechless and looked at Ajax with a pitiful face making Ajaxugh and nodded at Snow. "Hello Uncle," Snow greeted him just like before but this time she used Uncle while greeting him. "Hmm," He nodded his head at Snow and looked at Ajax before asking, "Do you want to know why they are attacking the tribtion lightning?" Chapter 357: Unexpected events

357 Unexpected events

"Yes. Did they forget that attacking the lightning strikes and even taking the help of others will make the tribtion clouds angry?" Ajax asked the Hawk captain as he looked at the stalemate between the lightning strikes and Elders. "ording to tribe leader Qwerek''s calctions, there is a loophole in the lightning tribtions of five elemental world," The Hawk captain sat on the ground and watched all the elders using array tes to fight the lightning strike. "What? A loophole?" Ajax was shocked to find a loophole in the tribtions and curiously asked him. "The loophole is as long as you don''t attack the regr lightning strikes from the tribtion cloud. There will be no lightning strikes from it," The Hawk captain exined as he looked at the surrounding Hawk tribe members who were still immersed in their cultivation. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows hearing his words before asking, "So, you are saying as long as the elders attack the sixth lightning strike, then there will be no more additional strikes?" "Yes," The Hawk captain simply nodded his head at Ajax''s words. "Also, the reason he made use of that initial two barriers was for the sake of the Hawk tribe?" Ajax finally started to understand how far the tribe leader had thought before breaking through into the demi-king realm. Just from the rich lightning essence of nature from the four lightning strikes, more than half of the tribe members had reached themander realm and some even reached the elitemander realm. This must be what it was called ''Turning a disaster into a blessing''. Originally, all cultivators have some fear towards the lightning tribtions which make some of them even drop the idea of breaking through to the Demi-king realm. However, Tribe leader Qwerek had sessfully managed to make the most profitable deal from the lightning tribtion. This might seem too easy for him but the result of harnessing the lightning essence of nature gave them a little more trouble which they had already nned. If any of the elders or Qwerek were careless for even a single moment, then it would have resulted in Qwerek''s death. But still, the fruits of theirbour were yet to be enjoyed, so none of the Hawk tribe members was unable to enjoy their increment in the cultivation since their tribe leader still didn''t cross the lightning tribtions. ''This is riskier than I thought,'' Ajax thought in his head as he continued watching the tribtion. The reason he felt it was a risky move was that if by any chance Qwerek dies in the process of crossing lightning tribtions, then the other tribes would try to invade the Hawk tribe. "Yes, but at the same, it is to give time for the tribe leader to stabilize his cultivation," The Hawk captain added another reason for the use of the barriers. "Okay," ''A tribe needs a good tribe leader,'' Ajax suddenly thought about Krico and the fire crow tribe. ording to Ajax, Krico was not even suited for the tribe leader position for his ego. So, he thought that a tribe needs a good tribe leader for at least the tribe to remain alive. ''Aargh'' As he was thinking about tribe leaders, Ajax heard a painful voice and immediately looked into that direction only to see the first elder cough a mouthful of blood. ''His earlier injuries must have been acting up again,'' Since Elder Cretual was closer to them, Ajax and the Hawk Captain were the first to notice and all other elders were busy with the lightning strike. "Ajax, can you rece him?" Before Ajax could think anything, the Hawk captain forced him to rece Elder Cretaul and gave him the array te. Ajax didn''t waste any time before injecting his essence of nature into the array te; however, to his shock, the array te didn''t absorb it making him quite puzzled. "Captain, but I don''t know what to do?" Ajax asked the Hawk captain immediately when he sensed that his essence of nature was not absorbed by the array te. "Elder Cretual has already readied everything with the formation. you just need to inject some essence of nature into it and it will stabilize the formation," The Hawk captain hurriedly said to Ajax while putting a healing pill into his mouth. When Elder Cretual had coughed a mouthful of blood, the formation didn''t disappear; instead, it became shaky. So, Hawk captain didn''t waste any time to force Ajax into the first elder''s ce to make the formation stable. Due to that shakiness, the pressure on tribe leader Qwerek and other elders increased and made it difficult for them to hold on much longer and at any moment the lightning strike might hit Qwerek and turned him into ashes. "Captain, but this array te is not taking my essence of nature," Ajax hurriedly informed about his problem with the array te to the Hawk captain. "What?" The Hawk captain was shocked and immediately checked the array te. "No, no no...why is this happening?" The Hawk captain became anxious as he looked at the blood on the array te. "What happened Captain," Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart as he looked at the Hawk captain''s anxiousness. "This array te''s can be used by anyone other than the first elder...sigh," The Hawk captain sighed as he bitterly shook his head while happening to Ajax. Since the array te had absorbed the first elder''s blood, it could not be used by any other person, so now they had no chance to stabilize the formation. "What?" Ajax felt bad as he looked at Qwerek and other elders as he knew they wouldn''tst much longer. ''I need to do something to help them otherwise, it will be a problem for me in venturing to other regions of the five elemental world,'' Ajax''s mind started thinking about a n to help Qwerek with the lightning strikes. Ajax knew that if the formation was not stabilized in the next minute, the tribe leader would die without a doubt whereas every elder would receive heavy to moderate injuries for sure. So, he started thinking to not spoil his ventures. ''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' As he was thinking of a n, Cerauno, who was absorbing the essence of nature, woke up from his meditation and walked towards Ajax before standing in front of him. A few seconds after Cerauno stood in front of Ajax, a lightning attack came from the sixth lightning strike towards Ajax and struck Cerauno. "What the hell!" Ajax shivered when he saw the attack from the sixth lightning strike. As soon as the lightning attacknded on Cerauno, a hole formed in his transparent body but it soon healed within a few seconds. "Cerauno, thank you," Even though Ajax was shocked he recovered from it quickly and thanked Cerauno for taking that attack for him. At the same time, the four energy beams from the four elders that were still attacking the sixth lightning strike without any stability unexpectedlynded on the fifth lightning strike. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' As soon as one of the energy beams touched the fifth lightning strike, rumbling sounds came from the tribtion clouds making everyone even more worried. Chapter 358: Ceraunos New Skill

358 Cerauno''s New Skill

"Buzz" "Buzz" Soon, five more lightning strikes released from the tribtion cloud. These five lightning strikes looked much weaker than the first lightning strike but they were enough to kill the elders with its power if they were not careful even for a second. ''What in the world is happening here?'' The Hawk captain anxiously took out a few pills from his space ring and threw it towards the four Elders and at the same time, a heavy shield appeared out of nowhere as it covered Ajax and the Hawk captain. At the same time, he also threw a pill into his mouth. The four elders who already noticed the lightning strikes that wereing towards them immediately caught a red pill that came towards them and swallowed it without hesitation. As soon as they swallowed all of their cultivation breakthroughs to level 5 of the elite general realm and their previous tired expression turned into an excited one. ''What are those pills that made them that powerful within a second,''Ajax thought in his head for a second before a lightning strike came towards his direction from the tribtion cloud. However, before it could reach them, the lightning strike hit that heavy shield that was controlled by the Hawk captain. Simrly, the four elders also summoned their respective weapons to block the lightning strikes that came towards him. ''Aargh'' Since their focus was diverted towards the new lightning strikes, the pressure pressing down on Qwerek had increased that made him cry painfully. "Ajax, do you have any way to help the tribe leader?" The Hawk captain, who was blocking the lightning strike asked Ajax thinking that he might have a few tricks under his sleeves. "What should I do?" Ajax didn''t know what he should do in a situation like this, so he hurriedly asked back to the Hawk Captain. "Although I am not sure, Snow might be able to save them if she attracts the lightning strike towards her for a couple of seconds," The Hawk captain looked at Snow and exined the idea in his mind. "No way, I will allow Snow to risk her life," When he heard the Hawk captain''s words, Ajax became serious all of sudden and rejected his idea without a second of hesitation. How could he put Snow in a dangerous situation when he was already used his ''Absolute darkness'' skill on her and make her scared for nothing. At that time, Ajax had promised her that he would never put her in danger if it''s possible for him. So, he rejected in a t tone before thinking about something else. ''Ding, A new notification from the ''pay to know'' tab. ''Ding, There is a way for the host to save them. Do you want to know, How? As he was thinking, a couple of system notifications came to his head which made him see a small hope. ''Yes, I agree. Be quick,'' ''Ding, ording to the system, the cost of the information is 5000 essence of nature. ''Ding, Do you want to pay for it? Yes / No ''Yes,'' Ajax agreed as his spirit consciousness waspletely by the essence of nature from the earlier rich lightning essence. So, he decided to pay for the information that could possibly save the tribe leader and other elders. Although he was shocked by the price of the information, he thought 5000 units of the essence of nature was nothing if he saved Qwerek and others. ''Anyway, this essence of nature came because of Elder Qwerek. So nothing wrong in using this for them,'' Ajax felt nothing while spending that much to know about the information and eagerly waited for the next system notification. ''Ding, Consumed 5000 units of the essence of nature from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host can temper his body from the lightning strikes and absorb the energy from them. Then that particr lightning strike will be dissipated. ''System, you must be kidding, right?'' Ajax''s eyes popped out of his sockets when he saw the information on saving the elders and Qwerek. ''Ding, There are only two ways to make lightning strikes disappear. The host needs to absorb the lightning essence into his body while tempering his body with it. Let Elders allow the lightning strikes tond on them. Note:- Although Elders might not die by that, they will suffer some serious injuries. "Is there no other chance to help them?" Ajax felt that tempering was not a good option as the lightning strikes that were blocked by the Heavy shield terrified him with its appearance alone and the system was suggesting him to temper his body with it. ''Ding, There is another way? ''What is it,'' Ajax excitedly asked while looking at the holographic screen in front of him. ''Ding, The host needs to have at least a peak elite general realm strength. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at the system notification and immediately stopped asking it any more questions. From thest system notification, he was able to guess that the system would not say any more ways to help them and thought about the first solution that system had suggested. ''Although the first solution seemed good, it was not safe,'' Ajax looked at the ferocious lightning strikes and felt a bad premonition. It was a general fact that if a lightning strikends on you and if you are not strong enough then you would die for sure. So, Ajax was thinking about that idea of tempering his body with each single lightning strike. "Summoning master, I think, my new skill will be able to help you," Cerauno, who was in front of Ajax turned back and said to Ajax about some new skill. "Really?" Ajax was both surprised and excited at the same time and immediately checked Cerauno''s skill that was supposed to help him. ''Ding, Skill Description:- Special Merge Effects:- 1) 75 percent lightning resistance 2) One major realm increment in the summoner''s strength. Cooldown:- 1 hour Description:-A special merge that can allow the elemental spirit to merge with the summoner and thebined power will be exactly one major realm higher than the summoner''s current strength. "It will do," Ajax didn''t dy any longer as he knew that Qwerek and other might notst more than a few minutes with thier present conditions and asked Cerauno, "Activate the skill." "Activate Abyssal Beast god bloodline," However, before Cerauno could activate his skill, Ajax activated his bloodline to increase the powers of Cerauna, Snow by two and three times respectively. It was nearly 24 hours since he had activated the bloodline, so he used it once again as he would not face any serious effects from it. As soon as he used his bloodline, along with his own strength, his spirit beast Snow and his elemental spirit Cerauno''s cultivation had increased along with his confidence. Cerauno didn''t waste any time as he activated his new skill. ''Whoosh'' Just as he activated the skill, he turned into a lightning spark and entered into Ajax before both of them became one. As soon as theybined, Ajax''s height increased a little along with his facial appearance changed a little and slowly walked towards the lightning strike. Chapter 359: Lightning tempering

359 Lightning tempering

Ajax, who was now merged with Cerauno, looked even more handsome and on his face, there was a devilish smile that made him look as though he was about to do something evil. ''Summoning master, how is it?'' As Ajax walked towards the heavy shield, he heard Cerauno''s voice and replied, "It freaking good." Ajax never felt this strong before as his current strength in this form had reached level 5 of the elitemander realm but in actual, he could easily kill the peak elitemander realm cultivators. So, he was excited and decided to temper his body with the lightning strike that was blocked by the heavy shield summoned by the Hawk captain. "Let''s do it," Ajax muttered as he rushed toward the lightning strike. "Ajax, what are you doing? It''s dangerous," The Hawk captain waste to stop Ajax from rushing towards the lightning strike. As soon as Ajax crossed the heavy shield, the lightning strike changed its direction and buzzed towards Ajax. ''Patt'' ''Aargh'' The lightning strikended on Ajax. Due to the sudden strike, he felt a sharp pain along with a slight burning sensation all over his body. ''Nooo,'' The Hawk Captain, who saw the scene of the lightning strike hitting Ajax shouted as he rushed towards Ajax to save him. Nheless, he stopped halfway as he was shocked to see that the lightning strike didn''t turn him into ashes instead it was surrounding Ajax''s body with lightning speed. ''What kind of trick is he using?'' After stopping, the Hawk captain thought in his head and observed Ajax for a while before rushing towards Eica. The reason he rushed towards her was that she was nearer to him and the weakest among all the elders. ''Damn it. This pain is just¡­.,'' As for Ajax, he was still in the pain with the lightning strike that entered into his body. He was unable to even describe the pain as his mind was in a totally disarray. When the lightning strike entered his body the tissues, tendons were burnt. Except for bones, all of his body parts were giving him acute pain. ''I can do it,'' Ajax gritted his teeth and rotated his level 2 main cultivation, Heaven and Earth refining technique. As for what reason he circted that technique was to absorb the rich lightning essence of nature that came from the lightning strike. Although the lightning strike gave him unbearable pain, due to his years of enduring various pains, he got ustomed to them. Nevertheless, he still felt the pain was bing more and more painful with each passing second. So, he decided to use his main cultivation to absorb the essence of nature and at the same time, he wanted to decrease that rich lightning essence of nature in his body. ''I good thing is the pain is not as sharp as it was in the beginning,'' While absorbing the essence of nature from his body into his spirit consciousness, Ajax thought about the pain from the lightning strike. At the same time, his body was continuously tempered by the powerful lightning essence from the strike. The wounded tissues and body organs were constantly healed by the life essence of nature that was specific to his own body. Generally, if one had an elemental affinity with a life element, then they could heal their own body depending upon the purity of the essence of nature. Unless they learn the separate healing skills or abilities they couldn''t heal other people. Since Ajax''s universal essence could be converted into any essence of nature, he used the life-elemental essence of nature to heal his injured tissues and tendons. Every time, they were injured and healed they would be strong by a little and the process was repeated continuously for a few minutes before Ajax was finally able to rx a little with the lightning essence of nature in his body. However, that doesn''t mean he hadpletely absorbed the essence in his body. He just absorbed some energy into his spirit consciousness and he barely stabilized the energy in his body. ''Phew¡­.I finally stabilized it. But I can''t move before absorbing some more energy into my spirit consciousness,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that the lightning essence of nature in his body was stabilized and it was not harming his tissues or tendons. Nheless, it was not enough for him to save others. ''Ding, The system detected the rich stabilised lightning essence of nature in the host''s body. ''Ding, Do you want to transfer it to the lightning elemental paradise? Yes / No? ''Is this a system gift?'' Seeing the two system notifications, Ajax felt they were like a gift to him from the system and without any hesitation, he epted. ''Ding, Please bear with the pain. ''What? Bear the pai..'' ''Aaargh'' Before Ajax could even know what was happening, he felt a feeling of someone sucking in all his energy from his body. ''Damn it damn it,'' Enduring the pain, Ajax could not help but curse the system for not informing about the pain before he epted the transfer of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Transfer started. Please bear the pain for another minute. As he was cursing the system, as though he was consoling Ajax, the system sent another notification which made Ajax calm down a little. The reason for him cursing the system was because he was not prepared mentally and the?sudden pain made his mind go nk before he recovered from the state of shock. Soon, a minute passed by and the lightning sparks that were surrounding his body also disappeared without a trace. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, the lightning resistance for the special merge has been increased a single percent. "Only a single percent?" Ajax was neither happy nor sad with the increment with that system notification. ording to him, it was not worth celebrating for a single percent increment in the lightning resistance neither it was not a bad thing for that increment as he didn''t expect that. Overall, he was happy that he was finally able to utilize a single lightning strike to temper his body. That''s not all he got. He also increased the purity of the lightning elemental essence in the mini-thunder pool by a little which left him satisfied. Even though it was not upgraded to grade 3, its purity was increased and reached mid-grade 2 elemental paradise. ''Uff'' Ajax stood up from the ground and he observed his own body and felt that he became stronger and sturdier than earlier. ''So, that''s why the ancient cultivators use the lightning tribtion to temper their bodies,'' Ajax, who now felt that he could kill a rank 4 spirit beast with a single punch though about cultivators from the past. In the past, all the body cultivators used their own lightning tribtions to temper their body that made them even stronger and their bodies were able to withstand any types of attacks after continuous tempering from the lightning strikes. ''Aargh'' Just as he thought about the ancient cultivator, he heard the painful cry from a distance. Chapter 360: Krails Dreams

360 Krail''s Dreams

''Isn''t that Elder Krail?'' Ajax stopped his thoughts about Ancient cultivators and looked at the direction the pained noise came from. He saw Krail on the ground and in front of him, there was a sword that had lightning sparks around it blocking the simr type of lightning strike that Ajax had that absorbed into his body. The sword in front of Krail was barely blocking the lightning strike and with just a simple nce Ajax was able to say that the swords won''t be able to block the lightning strike much longer. ''Three more minutes before ''Special merge'' skill cancels out,'' Ajax didn''t dare to waste any more time before rushing towards Krail. From the moment he hadbined with Cerauno, Ajax was keeping track of his time because the skill ''Special merge'' would onlyst for five minutes. So, Ajax''s n was to absorb as many lightning strikes as possible before the skill came to cooldown. If the skilles to the cooldown, then he had to wait for an hour before he could use it once again. ''My evolved weapon won''tst much longer against this lightning strike,'' Krail looked at his shaking sword in front of him and sighed in his head and continued thinking, ''If the lighting strikends on me, I will be seriously injured in the best case and in the worst-case scenario I will die.'' Just thinking about death made his heartache and looked at his brother''s direction who was also barely able to manage the lightning strike with his own evolved weapon. However, he was in a much better situationpared to Krail. "I hope at least you will seed our dreams, big brother Kraiww," Krail lightly muttered as he looked at his brother. After evolving from a normal lightning hawk, Kraiww and Krail learned about greater worlds from the tribe leader Qwerek and swore that they should travel to one of the greater worlds and start a new lightning dragon hawk tribe in there and raise to the top level of that greater and they also had many dreams about it. However, now he was unable to apany his big brother in their dreams as he would be seriously injured by the lightning strike or even die. "Why don''t you two brothers seed in your dreams together," While he was thinking about their dreams, Krail was interrupted by Ajax from his thoughts. "Ajax, say sorry to my brother for me," Krail didn''t hear Ajax''s words clearly as his mind was still in a daze as his dreams were about to shatter in the next moments and asked Ajax to apologise in his ce to his big brother. "Instead of that, you two should achieve your dreams together," Ajax confidently smiled before taking the hovering sword that was blocking the lightning strike and allowed the attacking lightning strike to bended on him. "Ajax, what are you doing? Stop it. You don''t have to risk your life for me," In his view, Ajax had already done more than enough for his tribe and doesn''t want his tribe''s saviour to be dead in his ce. However, before he could stop Ajax, he saw the lighting strike enter into his body like a normal energy. After entering into his body, Ajax''s body waspletely surrounded by lightning sparks. ''Woah'' From a look, Krail was able to say that Ajax waspletely fine other than making a few pained noises. "Sigh...this human kid has some many unbelievable tricks," Krail muttered as he saw Ajax gritted his teeth for exactly a minute before he saw him heave a sigh of relief. "Over? Just like that?" Krail was shocked at the magic trick that Ajax had done in front of him. It was not more than a minute that the lightning strike had entered into his body before it disappearedpletely from his body. ''But where did that much energy go all of a sudden?'' After the?lightning strike had entered into Ajax''s body, Krail was able to feel the rich lightning essence of nature in his body but just after 1 minute, the rich essence of nature had disappeared without any trace making Krail puzzled. "Phew¡­.Finally, it''s done," After absorbing the second lightning strike, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the confused Krail. "Elder Krail, don''t think much about it. Go and help your brother. You two can block that lightning strike easily, right?" Ajax stretched his body and asked Krail. "Yes, I will do it now," Krail had a lot of questions in his mind but his brother''s life was more important than any other thing at the moment. "Thanks, Ajax," After thanking Ajax, he rushed towards his brother to help them. "Still 90 seconds to go," Ajax looked at the system timer, he had set and looked at the elders, who needed his help. At the moment, Eica and the Hawk captain were easily blocking the lightning strike and absorbing its energy slowly. At the other than, Krail joined Kraiww and they would soon gain advantage over the lightning strike that Kraiww was blocking. Elder Erek''s condition was better than Kraiww but after Krail joined Kraiww, Kraiww''s fighting against the lightning strike had eased up. Tribe leader, who was strongest amongst all the elders, was still looking good even after managing the fight and sixth lightning strike whenpared to other elders. So, after observing everyone, Ajax finally decided to help Erek, as he was the only one who was having trouble in blocking the lightning strike amongst all the elders. ''80 seconds,'' Ajax thought about the remaining time and rushed towards Elder Erek. In front of Erek there was a shining mirror that was blocking the lightning strike. The mirror was skillfully controlled by Erek that helped him to barely gain an upper hand against it. However, just from the looks, anyone could guess that controlling the mirror in front of him was very consuming for him and with each passing second, Elder Erek''s face turned pale. "Sigh...just why is this happening," From his face, sweat beads started to roll down as he thought about the current situation. ording to the tribe leader''s n, everything should havee to an end by now. However, due to some unexpected issues, the whole n had been messed up. ''Is he Ajax? But his appearance seemed to change a lot?'' With his tired eyes, Erek looked at the familiar yet distinct face from a distance that was rushing towards him and thought in his head. Due to Ajax''s merging with the Cerauno, there were changes to his features that made it hard to recognize him with Erek tired eyes. "Hello Elder Erek, can you please recall your evolved artifact?" As soon as he came in front of Elder Erek, he asked him to summon back his mirror that was blocking the lightning strike. "Ajax, it''s dangerous. Don''t try anything funny," Even though Elder Erek was tired, he could still think clearly about it and asked Ajax to not to try anything funny. "Hehe" Ajax gave a smile towards Erek before touching the mirror. Chapter 361: Ereks shock

361 Erek''s shock

"What are you doing, Ajax. Stop it," Seeing that Ajax was trying to remove his evolved artifact that was blocking the lightning strike, Elder Erek anxiously asked Ajax to stop ying with his artifact. As for Ajax, he didn''t bother to pay any attention to Elder Erek and threw the mirror artifact at Elder Erek. As soon as the mirror artifact was removed, the lightning strike changed its direction and rushed at Ajax to turn him into ashes. Just like earlier, the lightning strike entered into his body and at the exact time, he looked at the system notifications to check for the remaining time for his skill ''Special merge''. ''Ding, Time left:- 69 seconds Only after seeing that, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief; however, in the next second the familiar pain urred in his body. The same process of destruction and healing was done quickly and he stabilized the energy in a few seconds before he got the system notification. ''Ding, Please bear the pain for 30 seconds. The transfer of the stabilized essence of nature will bepleted. "What? only 30 seconds?" Ajax was shocked but his face was excited with the new system notification. ''Is it because I absorbed the previous two lightning strikes that the time was reduced to half?'' Ajax was still able to think calmly with the sharp pain all over his body. Since the time was reduced by half, Ajax rted it to the only possibility and felt excited. ''The pain is reduced by a lot. Looks like I should temper my body more,'' Not only?the time but the pain that was caused due to the lightning essence on his body also reduced making him think that he should continue to temper his body with the other lightning strikes. Due to his previous two times absorbing the powerful lightning essence from the lightning strike, his body was able to absorb the lightning essence and heal the injured tissues and other inner parts of his body automatically without him doing nothing. With this, he was able to think about many without bothering to heal the injured parts. ''This ''Special merge'' skill is definitely very useful when I fight against the lightning tribtions,'' Ajax still had a few seconds remaining in transferring the lightning essence of nature to the inner world. So he thought about the usefulness of the ''Special merge'' skill and nned something for his future lightning tribtions. It would have an impossible thing to absorb if not for the skill. The reason he was able to absorb and transfer the lightning essence of nature into his body and the inner world was because of the first effect of the skill which is a 75 percent of lightning resistance. Without that effect. Ajax knew that he would not have any chance if he did what he did with the merge. Even the elders with high cultivation were unable to absorb the essence of nature directly and could only absorb slowly while blocking it with their evolved artifacts. So, without a doubt, Ajax would have reduced to ashes if he tried directly. ''Ding, The transfer of the lightning essence of nature haspleted. ''Ding, Lightning resistance from the special merge has been increased by 1 percent. "Phew...As expected," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and thought that his assumptions were right when he saw the system notification about the increment in the lightning resistance. The first thing he did after taking a breath was to look at the remaining time for the ''Special merge'' ''Ding, Remaining time:- 28 seconds. ''Cloud steps'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax didn''t want to waste any time as he rushed towards the nearby Krail and Kraiww. To save time, he even used his level 2 cloud steps that made him reach them in only 5-6 seconds. Although they were in an advantageous position, Ajax rushed towards them instead of rushing towards Eica and the Hawk captain and the reason was they were closer to him and the distant team. ''What am I seeing? Is it all real? Amander realm human kid absorbed the lightning strike in not more than a minute. To be exact it only took him around 30 seconds,'' Elder Erek''s thoughts were in a mess when he saw Ajax''s actions. From his point of view, Ajax came like a wind, removed the mirror, absorbed the lighting strike and left him. Amongst all the tricks he had seen from Ajax, it would be one of the tricks that made him feel shocked. In general, for the lightning strike Ajax had absorbed earlier, one needs to have at least elite general realm cultivation to absorb it without any problem. Even then it was a risk and had to absorb slowly; otherwise, it might burn the internal body parts. So, Elder Erek was unable toe out of the shock that easily. "Elder Erek, go and help tribe leader Qwerek," Before rushing towards the brother, he left a few words to Elder Erek that made hime out of his shock. As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, he immediately rushed towards Qwerek to help him. Even though tribe leader Qwerek had lost the support of elders in blocking the fifth and sixth lightning strikes, he was able to maintain his ground against them. As for the reason he was still fine even after that much pressure was due to the pills that the Hawk captain had thrown towards him earlier. ''Elder Kraiww and Elder Krail, help Elder Eica,'' As soon as he reached the brothers, he hurriedly asked them to leave the lightning strike to him and asked to help thest team. "Ajax, we are fine. You need to take rest," Elder Kraiww replied to Ajax and asked him to rest. Kraiww noticed that Ajax was tired from continuously absorbing the lightning strikes and adding to his running from here and there, he asked him to rest. He also had another thought in his mind that if Ajax absorbed anymore lightning strikes, he would explode with the powerful lightning essence of nature from the lightning strikes. Simr to his brother Krail, he doesn''t want Ajax to risk his life for their tribe as he had already done more than enough and they could not even repay him for his kind deeds. There was nothing wrong in Kraiww''s thinking as it was impossible to store that essence of nature from the lightning strikes and what''s more, Ajax had already absorbed three lightning strikes. Since they were in an advantageous position, he didn''t want Ajax to risk his life for their tribe. "Elder Kraiww, there is no need to worry about me. I can block it easily," Ajax didn''t pay any heed to Elder Kraiww''s words as he knew the time was ticking and he wanted to finish absorbing another lightning strike after this. After saying his words, he didn''t wait for Kraiww''s reply and caught the two evolved swords that were blocking the lightning strike and threw them at Kraiww and Krail respectively. Chapter 362: Time managemen

362 Time managemen

As soon as he took out the swords, the lightning strike rushed towards him just like the previous lightning strikes. However, before the lightning strike could hit him, he said to Kraiww and Krail, "Go and help Elder Qwerek." Just as hepleted his words, the lightning strike rushed into his body and his body was surrounded by many small lightning sparks. "But...but," "Brother don''t need to worry about him. Since he had already said he will be ok, then he will be ok. Now let''s help the tribe leader," Krail convinced his brother to move towards the tribe leader saying that Ajax would be fine. Until now, Kraiww didn''t observe Ajax''s method of absorbing the lightning essence as he was busy dealing with his own lightning strike. However, Krail absorbed the entire process when Ajax saved him from the lightning strike. So he was very confident in Ajax and followed his words to help Qwerek. ording to him, the lightning essence of nature from Ajax disappeared after a specific time and where that lightning essence had gone, no one knew and Krail didn''t bother to ask about it either. Kraiww''s worry was right but what he didn''t know was that from each lightning strike Ajax had only absorbed a tiny bit of essence of nature and a 90 percent of the essence of nature was transferred to the mini-thunder pool in his inner world after he stabilized it. So, even after absorbing the three lightning strikes into his body, Ajax spirit consciousness was still not full and it needed a few more units to be full. ''Ding, A weak lightning strike has entered into the host''s body. As soon as the lightning strike had entered into his body, a system notification came to his mind but since Ajax was focusing on stabilizing the lightning energy in his body, he wasn''t bothered with the notification. ''Huh?'' However, to his surprise, he was able to stabilize the lightning energy in only a couple of seconds before he got another system notification which he noticed as hepleted stabilizing the energy in his body. ''Ding, Please bear the pain for 10 seconds before the lightning essence of nature is transferred into the elemental paradise. "Huh? Only 10 seconds?" Ajax was once again surprised when he saw the reduced time on the system notification. ''Why is it only 10 seconds?'' Ajax thought while the transferring process was going on and it didn''t take much time before his eyes fell on the earlier system notification and understood the reason behind the reduced time. ''So the reason is that the lightning essence of nature was absorbed by Elder Kraiww and Elder Krail,'' In the system notification, it was said that ''A weak lighting strike''. So Ajax was able to rte it to decrease in the essence of nature in the lighting strike. Soon, 10 seconds werepleted and he got the system notifications but he was disappointed when he saw them. Because this time he didn''t get any increment in the lightning resistance making him sad but he was already satisfied that his elemental paradise had reached the peak level in grade 2. ''The effectiveness of these lightning strikes has been decreasing each time,'' Ajax noticed a small problem with the lightning strikes. It was like if Ajax absorbed 1 percent of the first lightning strike and converted it into 500 units of the essence of nature and for the same 1 percent of the second lightning strike he had absorbed gave him only 300 units of the essence of nature and the third one gave him 250 units. Compared to all the four lightning strikes he had absorbed, thest one only gave him 50 units of every one percent he had absorbed. ''No worries, as long as my mini- thunder pool reaches grade 3, it''s enough,'' Ajax shook his head and thought of the positive side of the absorption. After absorbing the third lightning strike, the grade of the mini-thunder pool didn''t increase by much and it only reached the peak mid-level of the grade 2 and it just needed another little push to enter into the peak level of the grade 2. ''System, remaining time,'' Ajax thought in his head as he rushed towards Eica and the Hawk captain. ''Ding, Remaining time:- 16 seconds, ''It''s enough to absorb thest additional lightning strike,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief looking at the time and continued thinking, ''With the addition of other elders in blocking the fifth and sixth lightning strikes, Elder Qwerek can think of something else to escape the situation.'' Ajax knew he would be unable to help after the ''Special merge'' skill came to an end as he would be in a weakened state for 5-10 minutes and concluded that Qwerek would find a way with the elders assisting him. Previously, due to the pressure, Qwerek was unable to think of any ns to escape from the current predicament; however, it would change with other elders helping him and sharing some pressure with him. Also, Ajax would have already rushed towards Qwerek after absorbing his first lightning strike but he thought about helping those who need more and now the skill ''Special merge'' wasing to an end and he couldn''t help him and left it to Qwerek. ''Whoosh,'' With the help of the level 2 cloud steps, he was able to reach Eica and the Hawk captain in another 5 seconds leaving him 11 seconds before the skill deactivates. "Captain Hawk, go and help Elder Qwerek. I will take care of this," Ajax didn''t exin anything extra before asking both the elders to?summon back their evolved artifacts. "Ajax, it''s dang¡­," "Eica, let''s go. Tribe leader needs our help," The Hawk captain interrupted Eica frompleting her sentence and dragged her along with him to help their tribe leader. Since the Hawk captain already saw what Ajax was capable of, he didn''t ask Ajax any questions and left the lightning strike to Ajax. "Senior, isn''t dangerous for him to continuously absorb that many lightning strikes without any rest?" While rushing towards Qwerek, Eica asked the Hawk captain about Ajax. Among the upper echelon of the Hawk tribe, Eica was the youngest. So, she called the Hawk captain as senior and when they were in the presence of the first elder or the tribe leader, she would call him as Hawk captain. "He is full of mystery. Just thinking about his tricks are making me dizzy," The Hawk captain forced a smile and shook his head. Eica also didn''t ask him any more questions and followed behind him. After they left him, Ajax expressionlessly walked towards the lightning strike and allowed him to enter his body. ''Aarghh'' However, this lightning strike gave him a sharp pain which he didn''t expect. Itsted for a couple of seconds before he stabilized it and thought about the sudden pain. ''Ding, The lightning essence of nature in the host''s body is stabilized. ''Ding, Please bear for 8 seconds and the transfer of the essence of nature into the elemental paradise will bepleted. Amidst his thinking, he got the usual system notifications but he didn''t check them. However, another system notification came right after them that made him anxious. ''Ding, Chapter 363: Lightning copy

363 Lightning copy

''Ding, The skill ''Special Merge'' will be deactivated in 6 seconds. Prepare to bear the pain of the lightning essence of nature in your body for 2 seconds. ''What?'' Ajax became really anxious with the new system notification as he didn''t know it was difficult for him to endure that pain. Moreover, the pain was not his worry, but without 76 percent lightning resistance, it was impossible for him to heal his internal injuries before his organs were burned. ''Let''s try it. Anyway, I don''t have a chance now,'' Since he already absorbed the lightning strike, he didn''t have any chance and decided to face it; instead of fearing it. ''I just need to endure the pain for two seconds, 8...7...6..'' Ajax started counting the time and mentally prepared for the pair and at the same time fully concentrated on healing his injuries quickly. ''Come on, circte quickly,'' While he counted he forced his main cultivation to its maximum and tried to absorb as much lightning essence of nature as possible within the six seconds. ''5...4..3..'' Ajax continued his counting once again as he circted his cultivation technique. However, he was unable to count after 3 as he fell to the ground while clutching his head in his hands. ''Ding, ''Special Merge'' is deactivated and the host''s elemental spirit needs an hour rest before he is summoned once again. Ajax doesn''t have the luxury to check the system notification as he was feeling that his whole body was burning. As soon as the skill deactivated, Ajax and Cerauno were separated. Ajax was still on the ground whereas Cerauno was disappeared into Ajax''s inner world. After being separated, Ajax''s cultivation returned to the level 5 of themander realm and other than the 2x boost in his strength from the bloodline he now had nothing. ''Why the hell is this 2 seconds so long?'' Ajax felt that these two seconds were forever. Just as he was about to faint due to the burning of his internal organspletely, a white silhouette appeared behind Ajax and entered into his body. ''Phew¡­.'' As soon as the white silhouette entered into his body, Ajax felt all the burning sensation disappear without any trace and heaved a sigh of relief. ''Ding, The transfer of energy to the mini-thunder pool is sessful. Just as he was breathing, the pleasant system notification came making my heartbeat calm down. "What did just enter into me?" After checking the notification, Ajax stood up from the ground and felt even more powerful than when he was merged with the Cerauno and asked himself. ''Master, it''s me. Snow,'' As Ajax was pondering about a reason for his sudden rise in the strength, he heard a familiar voice in his head. ''Here with you, Master,'' Snow''s voice once again rang in his head. ''Where are you, Snow?'' Ajax asked as he was feeling something was amiss. ''I used one of my new skills and merged with you, '' Snow exined in a detailed manner and made Ajax understand what had really happened. That''s right. The white silhouette that entered into Ajax''s body was none other than Snow. From the beginning, she didn''t follow Ajax in absorbing the lightning strikes; instead, he flew into the air with her angelic wings and started checking her new skills that she had awakened after absorbing the Lightning dragon Hawk Emperor''s inheritance. Just as he finished checking all her new skills, with the help of the spirit contract, she noticed that Ajax was in some kind of trouble and used her new skill ''Lightning step'' and appeared behind Ajax. Seeing that Ajax was in so much pain, she then used her another new skill ''Lightning copy'' to copy Cerauno''s ''Special merge'' which she had observed when Ajax merged with Ceranuo andbined with Ajax. ''Thank you, Snow,'' Ajax thanked her when she briefly exined about her new skill. After thanking her, Ajax didn''t ask her anything and directly checked her information. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Lightning Dragon Hawk (Evolved being) Cultivation:- Peak rank 4 Skills:- Lightning Copy, Lightning step, Lightning w, Thunderstorm, Lightning speed (Passive), Steel wing. Special skill:-?Dominate. Bloodline purity:- 100 percent. Bloodline effect:- Increased cultivation speed by three times (Passive). "Huh? The bloodline purity is reached to the fullest as expected," Ajax didn''t feel any shock as it was in his expectations that the bloodline purity would be reached 100 percent. What shocked him the most was the special skill ''Dominate''. He had the idea about all the skills but the skill ''Dominate'' made him feel that it was something special and without wasting any time, he checked it. ''Ding, Special skill:- Dominate Effect:- When the skill is used, all the bird-type spirit beasts will be shuddered in the presence of this Lightning dragon hawk. Note:- There is a 50 percent chance that the dominated spirit beasts will ept the owner of the skill as their master and stay loyal to the evolved spirit beast forever. Skill Description:- A very rare skill that was awakened when a spirit beast was evolved into a humanoid form by using the recultivation process. The higher the cultivation of the user, the higher the chance of taming the spirit beast with just a simple move. "This is truly powerful," Ajax felt that it would be one of the top-level skills he had seen and decided to use it when it was necessary. ''Let''s see other skills but before that, I should help Elder Qwerek and others,'' Ajax looked at the group of elders helping tribe leader blocking the lightning strikes and decided to help them first before checking other skills and rushed towards them using his movement technique. ''I think, it''s better to check about this lightning copy skill,'' While rushing, Ajax slowed down his speed a little and thought in his head. ''Ding, Skill name:- Lightning Copy Effects:- Can copy any lightning/ thunder elemental skills. Cooldown:- One hour Skill Description:- When any lightning elemental skills are used in the surroundings of the user, he/she could copy the skill without much difficulty. "This skill also has a one hour cool down. I think I should betterplete my part here soon," Even when he checked the system notification, Ajax didn''t stop running and thought that his merging with Snow wouldst for only 5 minutes. Hence, he decided to finish his role in helping the elders. "Everyone, don''t you dare touch the fifth lightning strike and only attack the sixth one. I will take care of the fifth lightning strike," As soon as he reached the group of elders, Ajax heard Qwerek''s angry shout and made him look at them with more carefulness. He noticed that all the four elders and the Hawk captain attacked the sixth lightning strike and didn''t even dare to touch the fight one as they already faced the consequences of what would happen if they touched it. So, this time they were very careful and handled the sixth lightning strike and reduced its pressure from the tribe leader Qwerek. "Elders, I am here," Ajax looked at all the elders and announced his own entry. Chapter 364: Large Energy Orb

364 Large Energy Orb

As they heard Ajax''s voice, all the elders unconsciously felt some relief in their hearts. ording to them, as long as Ajax was there, any obstacle was nothing and automatically their bodies rxed after noticing Ajax. "Everyone, don''t rx yet. All of you, work together and absorb the sixth lightning strike," Just as the Elder was about to rx, they heard Qwerek''s scolding voice and their body returned to full focus. "The sixth lightning strike is different from the other lighting strike. It has a much more purified essence of naturepared to the elemental paradise in the greater worlds. So don''t waste a single bit of it," Qwerek finished hisst words and became serious before resuming his fight with the fifth lightning strike. ''Huh?'' Ajax also felt something different when he sensed the sixth lighting strike from a close distance. Unlike the previous five lightning strikes, Ajax noticed a few purple colour lines in the white lightning strikes which made him think that it was really helpful for others to increase their cultivation at a rapid speed. ''Cerauno can''t be summoned for an hour...sigh. I guess, only Snow and I can have this delicious meal,'' Ajax sighed thinking about his lightning elemental spirit who would be missing a great opportunity in increasing his strength. ''Snow, what do you think about it?'' Even though he got a rough idea about the sixth lightning strike, Ajax asked Snow''s opinion as he knew that Snow''s understanding of lightning would be greater than him because of the inheritance. ''Master, I think, it''s better to coordinate with other elders and weaken it a little then we can absorb it without any worry,'' Snow exined her idea regarding the sixth lightning strike. ''My thoughts are exactly the same,'' Ajax nodded his head and decided to safely try his chance against the light purple coloured lightning strike. Previously, he was in a hurry to absorb all the five lightning strikes that attacked the elders, so he rushed at every lightning strike without thinking much. Moreover, those five lightning strikes he had absorbed were much weaker than the first lightning strike of the lightning tribtion. However, the sixth lightning strike looked as powerful as the fifth lightning strike. So, Ajax made his mind work fastly than his body. "All the Elders, let''s use all our evolved artifacts or weapons to block the attack and then absorb the lightning essence of nature from it slowly," The second elder, Erek, who was not leading the group of elders suggested as he summoned a white mirror from his spirit consciousness. "Yes, second elder," All the remaining elders and the Hawk captain nodded their heads agreeing to Erek''s suggestion and summoned their own evolved artifacts. Almost all people would gain an artifact or weapon but only a few people like Snow or Cretual would get some high-ranking artifacts or weapons. Those artifacts and weapons would be upgraded with the cultivation of the evolved spirit beast. As soon as they agreed, all the elders summoned their own evolved artifacts and weapons from their spirit consciousness. Krail and Kraiww had summoned two swords as their evolved weapons that looked exactly the same. Eica threw a white feather at the sixth lightning strike. Although it was only a few centimetres when it was summoned, it had increased to a few meters in size by the time it reached the sixth lightning strike. As for the Hawk captain, he summoned his heavy shield and moved it towards the lightning strike. They were very careful while attacking the sixth lightning strike. They didn''t ask any help from Ajax as they had sufficient confidence in winning against the lightning strike and if by any chance something goes wrong, they thought Ajax would take care of it. So, they rested Ajax while attacking the sixth lightning strike. Ajax slowly walked towards the sixth lightning strike in an attempt to absorb the free rich lightning essence from the lightning strike; however, he suddenly thought of something and halted all of a sudden before moving some distance away from the elders. ''System, use all the energy orbs in my body,'' After maintaining some distance from the group of elders, Ajax asked the system to break the two energy orbs in his body. At present, he had two energy orbs in his spirit consciousness. Among them, one energy orb could help him break through a single minor realm whereas the other one would help him break through a freaking five minor realms. So, in total, with the help of these two energy orbs, he could finally enter the elitemander realm without much difficulty. As for the reason why he decided to break the energy orbs were to help Snow''s cultivation reach the rank 5 stage. Due to him being amander realm cultivator, his contracted beast could not have the cultivation of more than two major realms. Since there was so much rich and pure lightning essence of nature around him, Ajax felt that he should utilize as much as possible to improve his spirit beast strength. ''Ding, Do you want to break a small energy orb? Yes / No As soon as he ordered the system, he got the notification asking for him. ''Yes break it,'' Just as he said that the small energy orb in his spirit consciousness broke and the energy in it rushed towards all his body parts. Unlike previous times, this time Ajax didn''t feel a thing in his body as his cultivation was raised by a single minor realm within a few seconds. ''Looks like fire tempering and lightning tempering helped me a lot,'' Ajax thought as a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Beforeing to the five elemental world, his body strength was only able to injure a level 1 of the elitemander realm cultivator but now he could easily kill a level 5 of the elitemander realm cultivator with just his brute strength. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for reaching level 6 of themander realm. As soon as the energy from the energy orb was dissipated, Ajax got a system notification informing him about his breakthrough. ''Break another energy orb,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he knew that each second he wasted here, he would be missing a great amount of the rich lightning essence of nature. ''Ding, Do you want to break arge energy orb? Yes / No "Yes," For the usual system notification, Ajax gave his usual answer. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' As soon as he epted, therge energy orb in his spirit consciousness cracked and slowly released the rich and powerful energy was released out of it towards all the body parts. The energy reached every corner of his body before making him cry in pain. ''Aarrgh'' Ajax tried to suppress his painful noises as much as possible in order not to disturb other elders. However, he was unable topletely suppress the pain as this energy was stronger than the energy he had absorbed from the lightning strike earlier. ''Damn it...this is more painful than I thought,'' Ajax gritted his teeth as he thought in his head. As he was gritting his teeth and barrel able to maintain his consciousness, a system notification came to his mind making him puzzled. ''Ding, Chapter 365: Elite Commander realm

365 Elite Commander realm

''Ding, The host had reached the peakmander realm. Checking the requirements for the major break through. "What? Requirements," Ajax muttered to himself as he gritted his teeth while looking at thetest system notifications. ''Ding, The host''s body has met that requirement to break through into the elitemander realm. "What?" Ajax still didn''t understand what was happening and what were those requirements his body had met; but before he could think about it, the sharp pain in his body had increased to another level. ''Bear with it. It will be over soon,'' Ajax talked to himself in a low voice as he endured the pain. This level of pain could be considered as his first time in his life. He endured various types of pain like burning, bone-breaking, sting pain in his head. But this pain could be said to be a mix of all the pain he had previously endured. Nevertheless, he bit his tongue and maintained consciousness. However, he was unable to bear with the pain before his eyelids started closing on their own. ''Master, it''s over. Just a few more seconds,'' Just when he was about to feel asleep, Snow''s voice resounded in his head which made Ajax wake up instantly. ''Tttt'' As soon as he woke the pain increased all of sudden making him grit his teeth even more. ''Thud,'' ''Phew¡­.finally, it''s over,'' The increased pain onlysted for a couple of seconds before all the pain disappeared from his body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for breaking through into level 1 of the elitemander realm. "After such a painful situation, this sound is so pleasant to my ears," After going through the cruel pain, the system notification seemed like a good sound for Ajax''s ears. ''I don''t have much time. I should go and absorb as much as the rich lightning essence of nature,'' Even though he was exhausted after going through all the pain while using therge energy orb, he decided to move towards the group of elders who were fighting the lightning strike. The reason he used therge energy orb and going through all that pain was for letting Snow break through into the General realm. So, if he decided to take a break now, there was no use in enduring all the previous pain. Also, he doesn''t have much time before Snow and he separates. If that happens, their individual absorption speed would be lesspared to the absorption speed when they were merged. As for why the absorption speed was high, it was because of the lightning resistance. So, he didn''t waste any time before turning towards the Elders. Just as he turned towards the Elder, he got another system notification that made him stop. ''Ding, A new system mission has been generated in the quest tab. Please check it for more details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Conquer Shixato wilds Reward:- A special rewards box Danger rating:- A Time limit:- None Note:- Conquering Shixato wilds is not limited to just the three tribes but also to the many spirit beasts that were not willing to evolve into a humanoid form and hidden in the various corners of the Shixato wilds. "What is this system trying to do? Does it want me to conquer the five elemental world after conquesting the Shixato wilds?" Seeing the mission details, Ajax felt there was something that system was preparing for him on his back that made him worry. ''Also, the system reward is not that good,'' Ajax thought that the reward should be something that was shown and not want to be a variable one. Although the special reward box was good, Ajax still preferred a reward that was known to him beforehand. So that he could try his best inpleting the mission. ''I guess, I should be ready for any danger from now on,'' Ajax swore in his heart about staying alert all the time. From the moment he got the system, Ajax always wondered about the origins of the system and with time he noticed that the system was preparing him for something. So, he decided to be safe by staying alert rather than feel sorryter. ''Since there is no time limit, I will take it slow. Anyway, I think I canplete this mission,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and followed his earlier n. The reason he felt confident in conquering Shixato wilds was because of Raweth and Snow. With the help of Raweth and Snow, it would not take much time in conquering the two tribes, namely Fire crow tribe and Lightning dragon hawk tribe respectively. As long as he managed to convince the upper echelon of both tribes, he could slowly conquer the rest of the Shixato wilds without much difficulty. With those thoughts in his mind, he rushed towards the blocked sixth lightning strike and started absorbing the rich lightning essence of nature. Ajax didn''t do anything in blocking the lightning strike as it was perfectly blocked by thebined efforts of all the elders and he didn''t want to try anything funny that might make the lightning strike unstable and cause them any damage. ''Woah...the essence of nature is much richer than the lightning strike that I had absorbed earlier,'' While absorbing the lightning essence Ajax feltfort all over his body. Not only him, but all the other elders were also doing the same before he even started absorbing the lightning essence of nature. All the elders'' bodies were surrounded by some lightning sparks that made them look like lightning elemental spirits and the rich lightning essence was rushing into their bodies at a lightning speed. Even at the speed, they didn''t make a single breakthrough in their cultivation due to therein enhanced cultivation. That''s right. All the elders except the first elder had consumed some pills when their nning went south. With the pills, all the elders'' cultivation had reached level 5 of the elite general realm. Due to this, their incremental strength was not visible to other people and could only be known by themselves. ''I wonder, how much Snow''s strength will reach after absorbing this bout of lightning essence of nature,'' Since they were in copied ''Special Merge'' skill, Ajax was unable to sense the exact increment in Snow''s cultivation and wondered about it. ''However, one thing was for sure. Snow has reached the general realm just a few seconds ago. Nothing less excepted from the 100 percent purified bloodline,'' Ajax confidently smiled as he praised Snow for her pure bloodline. The bloodline gave her a special effect that she could cultivate three times faster than her original cultivation speed. Soon, Ajax focused back onto absorbing the lightning essence of nature as he wanted topletely fill his spirit consciousness first. Nevertheless, it didn''t take much time for Ajax to fill his spirit consciousness when he suddenly received some series of system notifications that made him confused. ''What''s with these system notifications?'' Ajax thought in his mind after seeing all the notifications in front of him. ''Ding, Chapter 366: Changes in Spirit consciousness

366 Changes in Spirit consciousness

''Ding, The essence of nature in the host''s spirit consciousness is full. ''Ding, Do you want to remove the emergency system assistance? ''Why is it asking to remove the emergency system assistance all of a sudden?'' Ajax looked at the holographic screen in front of him and pondered before slowing down his cirction speed. Emergency system assistance was something like a mini-system feature that could help Ajax in transferring the essence of nature from his spirit consciousness to his elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts only when the spirit consciousness was full. In the past, Ajax had his spirit consciousness be full many times and except for the first time where the system exined about it to Ajax, it never gave notification of Emergency system assistance. Every time, his spirit consciousness was filled, the additional essence of nature was sent to his elemental spirits or spirit beasts that he had chosen to transfer. So, when the system suggested removing this emergency system assistance feature, Ajax felt puzzled. Even though he was puzzled, Ajax didn''te to a decision and started thinking about why this notification. ''Why the system is giving me that option all of a sudden. I mean why now? Why not earlier?'' he felt that there must be some reason behind the system''s choice for him. ''Ding, Do you want to remove the emergency system assistance? As he was thinking, the system notification came once again asking about his choice. ''System, what will happen if I remove the emergency system feature?'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax only thought that the reason must be because of his breakthrough which he felt was wrong and decided to ask the system. ''Ding, Sorry, the system can''t help the host. The Host has to make a choice and try to figure it out on his own. ''Huh? Are you crazy or what? If something went wrong, my spirit consciousness will explode,'' Ajax felt that this system was really crazy and came back to his thinking. Although he doesn''t know the benefits of removing the emergency system assistance, he knew about the bacsh of removing it if something went wrong and that his spirit consciousness would explode and he would die without any doubt. So, Ajax wanted to think for sometime before choosing his option. ''Ding, The time''s up. Removing the emergency system assistant feature as the host failed to choose his option. "What the¡­," Ajax blurted out loud when he saw the system notification as he was still thinking about what he should do with the emergency system assistance. "What happened Ajax?" "Are you alright?" "Is your body unable to withstand the continuous lightning strikes?" In their view, Ajax was continuously absorbing one lightning strike after another, so they thought it might be affecting him now. "Huh? It''s nothing," Ajax tried to divert the topic from his earlier blurting and closed his eyes before resuming his meditation. ''Sigh...this kid is trying to act strong,'' This was the only thought in their heads before they also started absorbing the rich lightning essence. Even though they shifted attention for a moment, their evolved weapons and artifacts were still blocking the sixth lightning strike. The evolved artifacts and weapons were special because they have a tiny bit of consciousness at the time of re-cultivation but with time, that tiny bit of consciousness would increase bit by bit and could turn into a soul. Still, it was not easy for any of them to achieve that feat as there was not even a single artifact or weapon in the Hawk tribe that gained a soul. From this, anyone could understand how difficult it is to gain a soul for an artifact or a weapon. ''What is it? Why is the earlier pain once againing back?'' After closing his eyes, Ajax felt the same pain when he had used therge energy orb and checked inside his spirit consciousness. As soon as he entered his spirit consciousness, he felt that it was not his spirit consciousness but a grade one universal elemental paradise. Inside his spirit consciousness, it waspletely filled with the universal essence of nature that was as pure as the one in the grade 1 elemental paradise which made him shocked. Thest time he checked it, the purity was less than that but now it reached the grade 1 level. ''Maybe it''s rted to the lightning tempering and the rich essence of nature I absorbed from it,'' The only thing that could have affected his essence of nature''s purity was the tribtion lightning. So, he directly gave the credit to the lightning strikes he had absorbed. Not only the purity of the essence of nature in the spirit consciousness but the spirit consciousness itself hadpletely changed. It was much bigger than thest time he checked his spirit consciousness and thought about it in his head. Soon a small system notification appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 7999 units/ 8000 units ''The capacity of the spirit consciousness is increased by nearly 1500 units. It..it is too much,'' He was overwhelmed by the huge increment in the spirit consciousness capacity and shuttered a little as he thought about it. When he was in level 5 of themander realm, his spirit consciousness capacity was around 6500 units; however, now it had now reached a terrifying 8000 units that made him feel excited. ''Aargh'' As he was feeling excited with his spirit consciousness capacity, the previous small pain had intensified all of sudden making him release a low noise. ''I should first do my original work,'' Only then he had remembered why he hade into his spirit consciousness and focused on his work. Even though the pain had intensified, it still didn''t reach the level where he would be unconscious. So he started checking his spirit consciousness. As for the reason why he wanted to check his spirit consciousness instead of his body because he feared the pain from the spirit consciousness more than the pain from his body. From his childhood to until now, his body was subjected to various pains but he suffered only a few times when ites to his spirit consciousness. So, he wanted to be careful when ites to the pain from the spirit consciousness. ''So this is the reason why I am feeling pain,'' It didn''t take much time for him before he was able to find out the reason. The rich essence of nature in his spirit consciousness was hitting the walls of the spirit consciousness that resulted in him feeling the pain. ''It will not take much time before my spirit consciousness sts with this much essence of nature. This system is ying with me again..'' Ajax cursed the system as he felt that he was being yed by it. However, he quickly shook his head as he knew that it was of no use and quickly thought about some n to spend his essence of nature. ''Let''s see where I can use this additional essence of nature,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and immediately transported to his inner world. Chapter 367: Cunning System

367 Cunning System

As soon as he was transported into the inner world, he started checking all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts. ''I can''t use on them either,'' After observing all the beings in the inner world, he shook his head as he could not use the essence of nature on them to increase their strength. As for why he could not use them for level increment was because all the beings in the inner world had already crossed or reached themander realm or rank 3 strength. When the system was upgraded, it changed the breakthrough conditions formander realm and above realms and limited the breakthrough only through the energy orbs that was given frompleting the higher danger rating system missions. Histest contracted elemental spirits also had reached the elemental spiritmander realm and excitedly looked at Ajax as though they wanted him to summon them out of the inner world for a while. ''Sorry guys, this is not the right time,'' Ajax smilingly shook his head. ''Ok summoning master,'' Both Nite and Dabrus looked dejected and they didn''t dare to ask him once again. ''Don''t worry I will summon you soon. We have a mission toplete, so just wait,'' When he saw the dejected look on his official contracted elemental spirits, he promised them to summon very soon. Next, he surveyed the remaining ces in the inner world and his eyesnded on a small bear cub that was ying with Red. ''This little fellow''s cultivation is really terrifying,'' Ajax eyes widened when he observed the little bear cub''s strength. The little bear cub was none other than the child of the furball, the golden bear king that Ajax had saved in the cursed wilderness. Even the small golden bear king cub also reached the rank 3 strength despite being born only a few days ago which gave Ajax quite a shock at the cultivation speed. ''Sigh...then I can use the essence of nature on only that one,'' Afterpleting his observation of the inner world, Ajax sighed as he went for his next n to spend some essence of nature from his spirit consciousness. Although he could not use the essence of nature to increase his summons'' strength, he could give them until their spirit consciousness was filled; however, Ajax didn''t want to use the extra essence of nature for that use as he already had a better choice than that. ''I can use it on the ''pay to know'' tab and empty my essence of nature,'' Ajax cunninglyughed as he finally decided to use the essence of nature on the ''pay to know'' and know some information from the system regarding its details or its motive for all the mission it was giving him from the beginning of its activation. ''System, I want to use the pay to know feature, open the tab for me,'' Ajax felt that pain was intensifying and decided not to waste any more time and ordered the system. ''Ding, "What? You didn''t mention anything about it when I checked the information on the ''Pay to Know'' tab. Why are you saying it''s on the cooldown?" When he checked the details of the feature when it was unlocked for the first time, he didn''t notice any cooldown or whatever the system was saying now and felt that all his ns were once again destroyed by the system. ''Ding, Please check the information about the ''Pay to Know'' system feature more clearly. To his surprise, the system replied for his cursing and immediately opened his interface and checked about the feature. ''There was nothing new in here and I already read everything about it,'' However, when he checked on the holographic screen, he didn''t find anything about the cooldown and all the information was just the same as he read before. ''System¡­.,'' ''Huh?'' As he was about to ask the system about it, at the bottom of the holographic screen he found a small line that was barely visible. After concentrating on those small lines, Ajax finally saw what was written on it. Note:- The host can only spend 5000 units of the essence of nature for every 12 hours. ''What the heck! This line is barely visible and now my n has failed just because of this small line,'' Ajax felt that this note thing was added by the system when he thought of asking the system about the origins of the system and cursed it. ''It''s definitely has something to do with those questions,'' Ajax was unable to believe that he missed those small words when he checked about the ''Pay to Know'' feature for the first time. Even though those words were very small, he should not have failed to notice it as he was not in a hurry at that time. ''Whatever, I already know that you are like this...hehe,'' A cunning smile appeared on his face and all of a sudden the aura around Ajax changed as he turned into a different person. After the change in his aura, he teleported back to his spirit consciousness and looked at the young girl that was cultivating in one corner of his spirit consciousness. The young girl was none other than Snow who had evolved into a humanoid form and even reached the peak elitemander realm. It was her spirit consciousness form that looked almost simr to her real body, unlike Ajax''s spirit consciousness that was only 70-80 percent simr to his real body. On her white jade-like face, there was a painful expression that made her white skin turn red; however, along with that painful expression, there was a resolute expression as though she didn''t want to give up on something. ''Although I can simply move away from the sixth lightning strike and stop absorbing the lightning essence of nature, it will ruin my other n. I will just be cruel to myself,'' Looking at the distant Snow, Ajax thought in his head as he became even more resolute after seeing the resolute expression on her face. His other n was to let Snow reach the general realm and if possible he wanted it to reach the peak general realm from absorbing the rich lightning essence of nature form the sixth lightning strike that was very beneficial for cultivation. So, Ajax didn''t want to move away from the lightning strike and instead wanted to move closer to it so that she could absorb more essence of nature for her breakthrough into the general realm. ''Looks like mypletely filled spirit consciousness is also affecting her,'' He guessed that the reason for her painful expression on her face must be due to his spirit consciousness. One might not understand how it was rted to his spirit consciousness but Ajax knew it since Snow was not only contracted to him but he evenbined with her, so he was able to guess and moved towards the center of his spirit consciousness. ''Just bear the pain for a little while longer, Snow. We can do it,'' While moving towards the center, Ajax gently transmitted his voice to Snow before closing his eyes. Chapter 368: Breaking the limits

368 Breaking the limits

In actuality, when Ajax''s body absorbed the essence of nature from the sixth lightning strike, the essence of nature was split into two portions. In those two, one portion of the essence of nature was entered into Ajax''s spirit consciousness whereas another portion of the essence of nature was entered into Snow''s spirit consciousness. So, when Snow absorbed the essence of nature from Ajax''s spirit consciousness to relieve some of his pain, she was barely able to manage the two portions of nature in Ajax''s body and felt pained. Even though she was converting the essence of nature into her cultivation with her bloodline purity effect i.e., 3 times the original cultivation speed, she was still unable to convert all the iing essence of nature making Ajax go with his final n. As soon as he closed his eyes and concentrated, the rich essence of nature that was surrounding him stopped moving all of sudden. ''Oooo'' After stopping all the moving essence of nature, Ajax took a huge breath and shouted, ''Go'' When he said ''go'' his face looked tired and more than that it was covered with pain; however, he gritted his teeth and focused on all the essence of nature that was surrounding him. Just after he said go, all the stopped essence of nature moved like a tsunami and hit the borders of his spirit consciousness. ''Aarghh'' When the essence of nature hit the walls of the spirit consciousness, the pain Ajax was feeling intensified to a level where he felt his mental ability to think was shaken and he felt dizzy all of a sudden. However, he continuously muttered about his n in his mind as he didn''t want to forget it due to the intense pain and once again controlled all the essence of nature towards the walls of the spirit consciousness. ''Aarghh'' Just like the first time, he felt the simr type of pain but it was more intensified whenpared to the first time he hit the walls of the spirit consciousness. ''I think, it''s working,'' Ajax thought as he felt that his n was working when he saw the slight increase in the spirit''s consciousness capacity. That''s right. That was Ajax''s n. When the essence of nature continuously enters into his spirit consciousness and if it waspletely filled with that essence of nature, those essences of nature would randomly hit the walls of the spirit consciousness that could result in the explosion of the spirit consciousness. From his childhood, the one thing he was very good at doing was controlling the essences of nature. So, he was perfectly confident in maintaining the uniformity while hitting the walls of the spirit consciousness. ''Thanks to the previous painful breakthroughs, I managed to learn this thing about forcefully increasing the spirit consciousness capacity,'' Ajax thought in his head and looked at the momentarily stopped all the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. The reason he felt that his n was working was that he noticed a very small increment in his spirit consciousness. Although that increment was not even 1 unit of capacity, Ajax felt hope and also heaved a sigh of relief that he would be killing two birds with a single stone. By two birds he means, not only his spirit consciousness would be increased but Snow''s cultivation speed would also increase because then she would absorb more essence of nature from the lightning strike by halting her absorption from Ajax''s spirit consciousness. When Snow focuses on converting the essence of nature in her spirit consciousness, her speed would be high whenpared to converting the essence of nature from Ajax''s spirit consciousness which would, in turn, reveal her true cultivation speed. ''I can do it¡­.Just one more time and it will increase,'' ording to his calctions if hit once again, the spirit consciousness should be increased by a certain amount that would make him satisfied or at least help hime out of his current predicament. Just like before, he closed his eyes and the momentarily stopped essence of nature was rushed towards the walls of the spirit consciousness at an incredible speedpared to before. ''Boom,'' ''Aaargh'' As soon as all the essence of nature hit the walls of the spirit consciousness uniformly, a sted sound had reverberated in his spirit consciousness. At the same time, Ajax felt a pain that he had never felt before in his life. ''Aarghh...arghh'' Ajax was continuously shouted in pain as he was unable to bear it and slowly started to be unconscious. ''Master, everything is alright. Just open your eyes and see,'' As he was howling in pain and was about to fall into a sleep, a white silhouette appeared in front of him and made him be conscious again. ''Huh? Who''s voice is this? Snow?'' Ajax opened his eyelid with much difficulty and saw the worried face of Snow, who stood in front of him and shook him into consciousness. ''Yes master, See everything is fine now,'' When Snow saw that her master had opened his eyes, she became excited and asked Ajax to look at his surroundings while saying everything was fine. ''Are you fine now?'' Ajax didn''t look at his surroundings as he was not feeling any pain and thought that his n must have worked out. So, he asked about Snow with a concerned look on her face. ''I am good, master. I even achieved a breakthrough into the general realm...hehe'' Snow beautifully smiled while informing Ajax about her breakthrough. ''Woah! It''s good. Now all you have to do is to absorb the lightning essence of nature from the sixth lightning strike and break through the minor realms and reach as high as possible.'' Ajax became excited and forgot all his previous pain just with some simple words from Snow. ''Okay, master. I will do and resume my cultivation,'' Snow finally felt good when she saw Ajax was excited and became his normal self. So, she decided to use the remaining time to break through as many minor realms as possible. ''By the way, don''t force yourself too much,'' Before Snow could move a few meters away, Ajax advised her to don''t pressure herself in the process of breakthroughs. ''Sure, master,'' Snow maintained her beautiful smile and replied. Earlier, there was no such beautiful smile on her face as she was worried about Ajax so much that even she started crying; however, when Ajax opened his eyes, she managed to recover from her worry and hid her tears. ''Silly Snow,'' Ajax felt warm inside his heart when he saw Snow''s action and shook his head with happiness. ''Now, let''s check the spirit consciousness,'' Ajax thought in his head and looked at his surroundings and his jaws dropped. Chapter 369: Success

369 Sess

Looking at his surroundings, Ajax eximed and felt it was unreal. Without wasting any time, he rubbed his eyes and once again looked at his spirit consciousness and muttered, ''It''s real. IT''S REAL.'' Initially, he muttered slowly but the second he was unable to control his excitement and shouted out loud. The reason he was excited was that his spirit consciousness capacity had increased more than he thought and the increment was also not a small number. So, he was naturally excited when he saw that his spirit consciousness became much bigger than before. ''And the purity of the essence of nature is also greater than a normal grade 1 elemental paradise'' essence of nature,'' Ajax felt his sore spirit consciousness was healing automatically with the rich essence of nature. Although the essence of nature''s purity had still not reached the level of the grade 2 elemental paradise'' essence, it was still enough for him to heal his spirit consciousness on its own. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for forcefully reaching the level 6 spiritmander realm. ''Ding, As a result, the host''s spirit consciousness'' capacity has increased by 500 units. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for achieving a breakthrough on his own. A special reward box is sent to the host''s inventory. ''Ding, The essence of nature in the host''s spirit consciousness had sessfully attained the level of grade 1 elemental paradise. As Ajax was checking the purity of the essence of nature, his head was filled with the system''s notifications. ''Hahaha,'' After checking all the system notifications, Ajax was unable to stopughing as he didn''t expect to get such benefits. Every time, he got those system notifications, he felt irritated; however, now he felt quite opposite to it and fully content with those rewards. In actuality, Ajax didn''t think he would get that many rewards for his forcefully breaking the spirit consciousness'' wall. ording to his ns, he thought he would utmost get an increment of 10 -12 units of the essence of nature worth of capacity and not a single more extra reward. Some might think that what those 10-12 units of extra spirit consciousness'' capacity would do in front of such a massive amount of pure iing essence of nature. If they think like this, then they were wrong. Although it seemed only a tiny bit of increment in the capacity, that was not the main thing in Ajax forcing his essence of nature to hit the walls of his spirit consciousness. ''These new walls look way more stronger than thest consolidation,'' Ajax thought in his head and thought back to his past. In the past, his spirit consciousness''s walls were once consolidated and when hepared it to this time''s consolidation, Ajax felt the walls of his spirit consciousness be even more thick and sturdier. ''Phew...finally, the spirit consciousness is free with the essence of nature and barely left any essence of nature,'' For the first time in his life, Ajax felt relieved to have less essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. ''Sigh...Looks like more essence of nature is required to solidify these walls,'' even though 90 percent of his spirit consciousness had be empty, his spirit consciousness looked like a glutton and absorbing the 10 percent remaining essence of nature making Ajax sigh. ''Now, my problem is reversed,'' Ajax bitterly smiled at his current situation. Previously, he was required to spend the essence of nature to stop his spirit consciousness explosion; however, now he had to absorb more essence of nature from the lightning strike in order to supply it to the walls of the spirit consciousness. If the spirit consciousness bes empty then the borders of the spirit consciousness would be unstable. Even though that would not harm Ajax at the moment, it would make him unable to resist any type of spirit attacks in the future. Just a simple spirit attack would make his spirit consciousness explode. So, Ajax decided to supply as much as the essence of nature to the walls to consolidate. Without wasting any time, he moved a little bit closer towards the sixth lightning strike and increased his absorption to his peak. As soon as he did that the essence of nature that was slowly entering into his body increased its pace and rushed into him like a ck hole. Due to that, the essence of nature around his surroundings became unstable that made all the other elders and the hawk captain pause their absorption of the lightning essence and made them look at Ajax with an awed expression on their faces. "What happened to him all of sudden?" Krail looked at Ajax as he asked others beside him who were equally surprised as him. "Who knows? Nevertheless, it will help us in destroying this lightning strike soon," Erek shook his head and closed his eyes. Simrly, all the elders also nodded their head before resuming their heads. Even though they closed their eyes and absorbed the lightning essence, it was not their full cultivation speed and as for why they were not using their full cultivation speed was because they were not in a position to use it. Because they split their spirit consciousness into two. One of the spirit consciousness was focused on absorbing the lightning essence of nature from the lightning strike whereas the other part of the spirit consciousness was focusing on controlling the evolved artifacts and the weapons to block the sixth lightning strike. ''I wonder, how much my cultivation was improved since I started absorbing the lightning essence of nature,'' Except for Ajax, in the minds of everyone, who were absorbing the lightning essence from the lightning strike had the same thought as though they were unable to detect their own cultivation. Although their cultivation speed was half of their original cultivation speed, it was enough to break through some minor realms after absorbing for a certain time; however, they were not even a single minor realm breakthrough was not seen in their cultivation. But that didn''t mean they didn''t make a breakthrough in their cultivations. All the elders swallowed a pill that made their cultivation realms temporarily increase and made them reach level 5 of the elite general realm. So, due to that reason, even though they absorbed so much lightning essence, it was not reflected in their cultivation. This was already known to them, so they thought about their breakthroughs expectantly. All the breakthroughs would be automatically visible after the effects of the pills disappeared. So, they focused on their absorption of lightning essence of nature and at the same time blocking the lightning strike with their evolved items. As Elders were busy with two things, Ajax was also busy with only one thing and that was to absorb the essence of nature to make his spirit consciousness walls as strong as possible that would endure any type of spirit attack in the future. Just as Ajax felt that all things were in control, a new system notification rang in his head. Chapter 370: Bonus Mission

370 Bonus Mission

A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. ''Sigh...Can''t you see I am busy now,'' When he saw the system notification, Ajax expressionlessly said to the system. From the past few hours, Ajax was literally tired both mentally and physically. Before the lightning tribtion had started, he was already working very hard on his pill refining and without any rest, he came out and helped the elders in absorbing the lightning strikes one after another. He didn''t stop there and made a breakthrough to the elitemander realm and the most important thing that made him tired was his forceful breakthrough in his spirit consciousness. Amidst these events, the system had already issued a mission to conquer the Shixato wilds. After going through all these things, Ajax felt that it was unnecessary for another new mission for him. ''Let''s see. If it''s hard, I will leave it and even if the system gives me a penalty, I will ept it,'' From the moment he had received his first penalty from the system, Ajax''s fear towards the system penalties decreased and made his stance to do only required and important missions for him. Another reason, he wanted to see the newly generated mission as he was in need of some danger rating missions to gain some energy orbs to breakthrough his cultivations. That doesn''t mean he wouldplete any mission that the system gives to him without thinking. He would do those missions he felt were right and reward him appropriately for the risk. ''Ding, Bonus Mission:-?Help Tribe leader Qwerek in blocking the main lightning strike. Reward:-?A new guardian for the inner world. Danger rating:- A Hint:- The host is clear and don''t need one Description:- Since it''s a bonus mission, the system increased the danger rating by a single level. But this mission is notplicated to the Host, who ns a lot...Hehe ''Huh?'' When he read theplete information about the bonus mission on the holographic screen, Ajax who was in his spirit consciousness form felt fluctuation in his face regarding the description of the mission. ''What are you saying?'' Ajax felt that the system was bing more and more cunning with each passing day. ording to him, in this mission some really important information was missing that would help him clear the mission; however, the system was hiding that information and indicated that the host was clever which meant that he had to find that information on his own orplete the mission forcefully. ''Whatever, I will try toplete the mission on my own,'' Ajax didn''t feel dejected; instead, he felt motivated toplete the mission. ''However, the problem is the mission is still dangerous,'' He continued to absorb the essence of nature to solidify his spirit consciousness walls while thinking about the problem of the mission. It was not a good idea for him to intervene in the lightning tribtions of others that would not only make things difficult for the tribe leader Qwerek, but the tribtion clouds would send even more powerful lightning strikes than the one he had absorbed earlier. ording to the information he had known from various sources until now, Ajax understood the working lightning clouds. The reason that sixth or light-purple coloured lightning was released by the tribtion clouds was due to the tribe leader and other elders of the hawk tribe trying to utilize the rich lightning essence of nature for their tribe members. That sixth lightning strike was already within the expectations of Qwerek and other elders but they were not 100 percent sure. Nevertheless, they were prepared for it. However, what they were not expected was the additional five lightning strikes that were sent by the tribtion clouds were only a small warning to those who were interrupting the tribtion process. If by any chance, Ajax or other elders interfere with the main or fifth lighting strike, the lightning strike that would be sent by the tribtion clouds would be much more terrifying than those earlier strikes that might kill a cultivator below level 10 of the elite general realm. Nheless, Ajax felt that there might be a way to aplish this mission. So, he started thinking about all his trump cards while continuing his absorption of the essence of nature. ''First of all, I should find a way to destroy these lightning strikes in a single attack,'' But before that Ajax started to think about how to destroy the lightning strikes in a single attack. Until now, he only yed with small lightning strikes and that too with much difficulty. So, to destroy the main lightning strike, Ajax wanted a sure shot destructive skill against the main lightning strike. If he destroyed the main lightning strike in a single attack, then the tribtion cloud would do nothing and simply leave. This was amon fact that was known to many; however, the problem was no one can destroy the main lightning strike in a single strike. The cultivator, who was crossing the lightning tribtion could only stop it with his own trick and slowly absorb the essence of nature from that lightning strike before using his strongest attack to destroy it. ''If I can''t destroy it in a single attack, then why don''t I use that same tactic I used earlier with the small lightning strikes,'' After thinking for a while, Ajax finally felt that he got what the hint in that mission was and continued to thinking about its pros and cons. Since he can''t stop absorbing the lightning essence of nature from the lightning strike, he could only solidify his n without any loopholes to it. ''However, I can''t use my body to absorb the main lightning strike,'' Even though he wanted to use the same tactic, without any hesitation, he immediately rejected the idea of absorbing the lightning strike into his body. There were two reasons as for why he directly rejected it without thinking much. First, he doesn''t have much confidence in surviving after absorbing the main lightning strike. Second, even if he had confidence, the time for his cloned ''Special merge'' had alreadye to an end and they might be separated at any moment. ''But I still have a few more trump cards at hand,'' Ajax n was to absorb the main lightning strike but that doesn''t mean he had to use his body for that; instead, he could use the heaven grade weapon, Heaven''s destroyer. Since he was in his own spirit consciousness, he saw two weapons that were floating in the mid-air. As soon as his gazended on them, he thought about using Heaven''s destroyer spear against the main lightning spear. ''Just some that name, I think it will be useful against it but still, I can''t rely on itpletely,'' Ajax felt that the heaven''s destroyer was powerful and could be used against the lightning strike but he felt he needed to have a backup n and got an idea without thinking much. Chapter 371: Way of Lightning

371 Way of Lightning

Also, it had gained one important effect afterbining with the bloodlust spear. It had the greatest prating power. Combined with his level 2 spear dao, Ajax thought that he could use it against the main lightning strike but still, he felt that he needed something more to back up its attack power. So, Ajax decided to use the special reward box that he had gained after forcefully breaking through in his cultivation. It was a reward which he had got unintentionally but now he had many hopes on this box. ''System, open the special reward box now,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and decided to open the special reward box. Since a special reward box would give an item that was most useful for him depending on the situation, Ajax wanted to use it to solve his current predicament. To make sure that he would get an item that was helpful to solve the bonus mission, Ajax prayed andpletely thought about the time. ''Ding, Do you want to open a special reward box? As soon as he ordered the system, it sent a confirmation notification as usual. ''Yes,'' Ajax nodded his head while epting the system notification. ''Please, please I want a high-level upgrade stone or something that can allow the heaven''s destroyer to enter into the legendary grade,'' After epting, Ajax resumed his prayer and continuously asked after an upgrade stone to improve the grade of his spear. Since, all the heaven grade evolved artifacts and weapons that looked much weaker than his heaven destroyer spear, Ajax felt that if his spear entered the legendary grade from the Heaven grade then he could easily destroy the main lightning strike. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for getting a random skill crystal. ''Ding, The random skill crystal had been stored in the host''s inventory. ''Huh?'' When he saw the two system notifications Ajax looked somewhat disappointed but he didn''t cry over the fact that he didn''t get the upgrade stone; instead, he quickly checked his inventory and found a crystal inside one of the inventory boxes. ''It looks like it will give a skill. Let''s see what it''s actual use is,'' From the name alone, Ajax could guess the use of the skill crystal but recently he learned a new lesson that while checking something, observe carefully for even minor information. So, he wanted to take it out from the inventory and check itsplete information. However, just when he was about to take it out, he felt the fluctuations in his spirit consciousness and at the same time, the distant Snow''s spirit consciousness form, who was absorbing the lightning essence of nature to improve her own cultivation also experienced the same fluctuations. In the same manner, Snow also disappeared from his spirit consciousness and appeared beside Ajax''s real body. ''Ding, The ''Cloned special merge'' has reached its time limit. ''Ding, Snow is in her weakened state now. Do you want to send her into the inner world to heal? ''What? Why are you asking? Can''t you send her directly like thest time you sent Cerauno into the inner world?'' Ajax didn''t understand the difference in the system''s attitude for Snow and Cerauno. Previously, when the original ''Special merge'' came to a cooldown, Cerauno was immediately sent into the inner world without asking him; however, now the system was asking about it which made Ajax''s interest reach to the peak and asked the system. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast is resisting to go inside the inner world. What do you choose? Soon, a system notification came to his head that made Ajax''s brows raise a little and looked at Snow, who was leaning on to his shoulder with a tired look on her face. ''What happened Snow? Why don''t you go inside the inner world and take some rest?'' Ajax was surprised at Snow''s unwillingness to go inside the inner world and asked her. Although the system could forcefully send Snow into the inner world, since Snow was unwilling to go inside the inner world, it asked Ajax before forcefully sending her into the inner world. ''I want to stay outside and observe these lightning strikes. I think I will gain someprehension into the way of lightning if I observe these two lightning strikes for some more time,'' Snow replied to Ajax through the spirit contract in a weak voice. ''But..but you are...,'' ''No need to worry about me master, I can endure it,'' Before Ajax could say anything, Snow interrupted him and said with a weak smile on her face. Hearing her weak voice and looking at the tired expression on her face, Ajax felt his heartache but he didn''t force her to enter the inner world as he knew she had made up her mind to stay outside. ''I hope she enters into the ''Way of the lightning'' as soon as possible,'' Ajax just hoped that she would reach lightning dao as soon as possible. Way of Lightning or Lightning dao was one of the many daos in the world that helps the one who had learned those daos to have better control over the respective element. The other most important use of these daos was to have more attack power while using simr elemental type attacks. For example, if Snow had gained entry into the ''Way of Lightning'' then all her lightning attacks'' attacking power would be increased drastically. Ajax didn''t move from his ce as to not disturb Snow in herprehension of the ''Way of lightning'' and slowly absorbed the lighting essence of nature from the sixth lightning strike. ''Hmm...I think Elder Qwerek can hold for another few minutes, it should be enough for Snow toprehend ''Way of Lightning'','' While absorbing the lightning essence of nature, Ajax nced at the Hawk tribe leader, who was mysteriously standing still as he blocked the main lightning strike with his umbre and thought in his head. Ajax thought that he had enough time until Snow gainedprehension into the ''Way of lightning'' then he could focus on the mission. He had full confidence in Snow that she would definitely gainprehension into the way of lightning and what''s more it felt that it would not take much time for her. After evolving into the humanoid form, not only her cultivation speed but even herprehension speed had increased greatly that made Ajax confident in her. ''I should give that insight''s book which I gained from Elder Qwerek to Snow that might help her reach King realm in the least time possible,'' Ajax suddenly thought of the insight''s book and excited for Snow''s future. ording to Qwerek, in that book, there were some secrets regarding how to enter the King''s realm cultivation. So, Ajax was excited to see how much time it would take Snow to reach that realm with the help of the insight''s book. Chapter 372: Random Elemental Skill Crystal

372 Random Elemental Skill Crystal

To which, Qwerekughed and replied to him like, ''Only a purest bloodline Hawk tribe member can open the book. If others tried to open it their spirit consciousness would be burned by the secret technique ced by one of ourst ancestors.'' After hearing that Ajax didn''t try to open it and safely stored it in his inventory. ''Since only Snow can use it, I will keep it safe for her,'' it was the thought in Ajax''s head when he took the book from Qwerek. ''Until sheprehends the ''Way of Lightning'' I will check that new item I gained from the special reward box and n how to destroy the lightning strike,'' Ajax thought as he opened his inventory and focused on the crystal in one of the inventory boxes. ''Ding, Item name:- Random Elemental Skill Crystal Elemental type:- Universal Use:- Helps an elemental spirit to awaken a random elemental skill of that respective element. Description:- A normal crystal in the elemental world, that absorbed countless elemental spirit stones and finally became a Random Elemental Skill Crystal. ''Huh? A normal crystal that absorbed elemental spirit stones?'' Ajax was shocked to see the description of the Skill crystal. The basic thing he knew about the elemental spirit stones was that they contained a rich essence of nature that was stored by the previous owner of the elemental spirit. However, the description of the skill crystal said that it had absorbed countless elemental spirit stones and turned into an item that could give the skills to the elemental spirits which made Ajax quite unbelievable. ''How high is the probability of my elemental spirit getting a skill that could be used for this current predicament,'' Although the?item looked good, Ajax didn''t have high hopes on it in helping him against the main lightning strike. Nevertheless, he wanted to try it on one of the elemental spirits that might help him in this current situation. ''I think, I have to rely on Cerauno once again,'' Ajax''s thought that only Cerauno might awaken a skill that could help in this situation. Thinking like this, he didn''t hesitate much longer before choosing the Skill Crystal to use on Cerauno. Even though he knew that Cerauno was still healing, he felt that awakening a new skill might not affect him. So, he chose him and looked into the inner world to check on him. ''Huh? His healing speed is much faster than I thought,'' Before the skill crystal was even used on the lightning elemental spirit, Ajax was surprised to see that Cerauno''s healing speed was very fastpared to the average elemental spirits of the same cultivation realm. Not only that, even Spirus was using her healing skills on him which made all his previous heavy injuries turned to light injuries. With this, Ajax''s confidence in using the Skill crystal increased as his elemental spirit was almost healed. ''System, use the Skill Crystal on Cerauno,'' Ajax gave the order to the system and waited for a miracle to happen. ''Ding, Do you want to use the Skill crystal on the lightning elemental spirit? Note:- Host can use it on his official elemental spirits. So think carefully before using it. As soon as he ordered the system to use the Skill crystal, Ajax received the usual confirmation notification; however, there was a note that made him pause for a second. ''Why is the system giving me such a note at this time? Is it trying to say that there might be some wonderful effect while using it on the official elemental spirits?'' When he saw the note in the system notification, that gave rise to many questions in his mind that made him hesitate. ''Calm down and think'' ''Calm down and think,'' Ajax repeated the same sentence again and again to calm himself. Because those questions that were raised in his mind made him anxious and felt that he might get a new skill for himself if he used it on his official elemental spirits. ''Wait a second. When did I be partial among my elemental spirits?'' After calming himself down, Ajax found it was funny as for what reason he was bing anxious. ording to him, all the elemental spirits, official or unofficial?were the same in his eyes and all these elemental spirits were equal to his contracted spirit beasts. ''Since the situation demands, I will use the Skill Crystal on Cerauno,'' Ajax smiled a little as he finally confirmed the system notification for using the Skill Crystal on Cerauno. It might give more benefits to him if Ajax used that Skill crystal on his official elemental spirits but he felt that using that skill crystal on Cerauno would be the wisest decision. If he became partial and favoured the official elemental spirits over unofficial elemental spirits, it might make the unofficial elemental spirits lose loyalty towards him. Even though they could not do anything to Ajax, they might not fight as seriously as they were doing now. ''Since I got one Skill crystal now, then I might get more in the future. Then I will use them on the official elemental spirits,'' Ajax didn''t worry much about the Skill crystals as he had enough confidence that in the future those items would bemon for him. He was confident because at the beginning of his cultivation journey, he only had a few spirit stones which were given to me by Captain Edmond; however, now he was having more than 10 million spirit stones in his inventory. Simrly, he now had many low-grade primitive stones which was once a very very rare item for him. By applying the same logic Ajax was confident that even if the Skill crystals were very rare for him now, they might be not that rare anymore. ''Ding, A random Skill crystal is used on the lighting elemental spirit. ''Ding, The elemental spirit will now go into a seclusive meditation before awakening a skill rted to the lightning element. Note:- The meditation might take a few minutes or a few hours depending on many factors of the elemental spirit. As Ajax was thinking about Skills crystals and other items, the system notifications rang in his head along with the words on the holographic screen appearing one after another. ''Oh please...please awaken something rted to lightning absorption skill,'' Ajax prayed in his head and looked at the peacefully meditating Cerauno. ''System, inform me when he wakes up,'' Ajax ordered the system beforeing out of his inner world. Although he wanted to see how the process of awakening a new skill in his elemental spirit, he had other things to do, so he came out of his inner world. However, before cancelling his spirit consciousness form, he took a look at his spirit consciousness'' walls that werepletely consolidated and doesn''t require any more essence of nature. ''Phew...now it''s time to take care of the sixth lightning strike,'' As soon as he checked his spirit consciousness, he cancelled his spirit consciousness form and thought in his head. Chapter 373: Becoming the observer

373 Bing the observer

Just with a nce, Ajax was able to identify that the lightning strike had weakened greatly. ''Before attacking the main lightning strike, I should test my theory on this lightning strike,'' Ajax smiled as he slowly took out his Heaven''s destroyer spear from his spirit consciousness and decided to test the might of Heaven''s destroyer spear. With a thought, a blood-red coloured long spear appeared in his hand and exuded a heavy iron stench from it. For a little warm-up, he slightly thrust the spear that exuded even more iron smell that made all the others open their eyes once again. "A high-level heaven grade spear?" Eica was the first one to be shocked when she saw the blood-red spear in Ajax''s hand. "The aura it exudes is much more powerful than a regr high-level heaven grade spear," Kraiww squinted his eyes and said about his opinion about the spear. "You are all wrong," When he heard his fellow elders gauge the grade of the spear in Ajax''s hands, he shook his head and said that they were all wrong. "What? Is it a legendary grade weapon?" "Although it looked strong, it is notpared to a legendary grade weapon, right?" Kraiww and Eica asked Elder Erek about their doubts. ''Sigh...sometimes I wonder how you two became the elders of our Hawk tribe,'' Elder Erek shook his head as he sighed and continued, "It''s only a mid-level heaven grade weapon." "What?" "But the aura and blood stench it exuded earlier is very powerful," Kriaww was shocked at Erek''s words and asked about it. "I don''t know why it''s aura is powerful but one thing was sure that aura is not a fake one and it was capable of killing a general realm cultivator without any difficulty," Erek exined to his fellow elders. Among all the elders of the Hawk tribe, other than first elder Cretual, Erek was the most senior and knowledgable person, so his words carry more?power and all believed him. "What''s more, if he Ajax learned the spear dao, then it might be able to kill even an elite general realm cultivator if that the cultivator is careless for even a second," Erek''s words continued to shock the other elders who were listening to him. "Let''s stop discussing about him. It will only shock us to death," Erek also had an unbelievable expression on his face. So he wanted to stop thinking about Ajax''s trump cards and continued saying to his fellow elders, "The lightning strike is weakened greatly. Let''s use all our strongest attacks and pass this predicament." The first thing Erek wanted to do now was to destroy the sixth lightning strike and rest for a breath. "Let''s do it," "Yeah. If we attack the lightning strike at the same tie, it will be destroyed without a doubt," All the elders also noticed the weakened lightning strike in front of them but they waited for Erek''s order before attacking it. So, when they heard Erek''s words they were naturally excited and motivated to destroy the lightning strikes so that they could take some rest. Although they could absorb the lightning essence of nature from the sixth lightning strike they could not continue that for much time since their spirit consciousness hadpletely filled even after they were converting that essence into their cultivation strength. They could not keep up the conversion speed with the rate the lightning essence of nature was entering into their body. So, they heaved a sigh of relief while showing excitement in destroying the lightning strike. "Everyone,bine your split spirit consciousness forms and fully utilize the power of your evolved artifacts and weapons," Elder Erek didn''t waste any time and quickly ordered the others. Hearing the order, all the elders nodded their heads andbined their two spirit consciousness into one and fully focused on controlling their evolved item while stopping the absorption of the lightning essence of nature. As soon as they concentrated on their own evolved item, all the weapons and artifacts that were blocking the lightning strike became much bigger than the regr form and looked much more powerful than before. ''Woah! This looks like some powerful shit. I wonder whether Snow''s feather gown would also be that powerful,'' As all the elders were increasing the essence of nature they were sending to their evolved items, Ajax looked at the growing evolved items and felt that it was powerful and thought in his head. Although he said that, he had more than enough confidence that it would be more powerful than those evolved items. "Huh?" All of sudden he remembered something and became anxious while muttering in a low voice, "Thye are destroying my lightning strike." As soon as noticed that, he immediately looked at the spear in his hand and Snow, who was still leaning on his other shoulder decided to wait for Snow toprehend the ''Way of Lightning''. If he moves even a little, Snow might fall onto the ground. So, he didn''t move even a little worrying that he might disturb her inprehending the ''Way of lighting''. There was also another reason he didn''t want to move from his ce and continued to support her was because the reason she was in her current condition was all because of him. So, he wanted to support her until he enters into the inner world on her own. ''Ok, elders of the Hawk tribe enjoy the benefits of destroying the lightning strike,'' Ajax felt it was a pity that he was not getting any benefits from destroying the lightning strike. That''s right. When a cultivator destroys a lighting strike, there would be a burst of pure lightning essence of nature that had a smoothening effect that would not harm a cultivatorpared to the previous lighting essence of nature they were absorbing forcefully. Not only it had a smoothening effect but it would also help in increasing the spirit consciousness capacity. Seeing that he would be missing some good rewards, Ajax sighed but he felt he was doing the right thing in standing beside Snow. However, he continued to observe the evolved items attacking the sixth lightning strike from all directions. Their attacking strategy was very simple and if Ajax was to give hisment on their attacks, he would say they were blunt. To say it even more simply, the lightning strike was solely blocked by Captain Hawk''s heavy shield and Erek''s mirror artifact. Where all the other evolved items of the elders attacked from all sides. The most damage was done to the lightning strike by the Kraiww and Kraill brothers'' heavy swords which attacked the lightning strikes continuously with some fearsome sword attacks ''One more attack and it will definitely be destroyed,'' Erek''s loudly shouted with a gritted teeth making all the other elders hurry up their attacks. Chapter 374: Ajaxs future plans

374 Ajax''s future ns

All the elders gritted their teeth but still, they didn''t stop their attacks and continued to control their aggressive evolved items against the sixth lightning strike. Hearing Elder Erek''s earlier order, all the elders nodded their head before transferring even more essence of nature to their evolved items and used their strongest attack. Soon, Captain Hawk''s heavy shield contorted a little before Elder Erek''s mirror artifact turned into water and covered the entire surface of the heavy shield that was blocking the lightning strike. After covering the entire surface, the water turned into solid and became a thin sheet that was attached to the same side of the heavy shield that was blocking the lightning strike. ''Huh? Abination of two evolved artifacts?'' Ajax who was absorbing the entire process became shocked and looked at thebined artifact that looked like a heavy mirror. Not only those two artifacts changed, but the other artifacts also had some changes in them. Just like how the two evolved artifacts, Heavy Shield and Mirror, had merged to be a heavy mirror, the two heavy swords of Kraiww and Krail also merged into a single sword. However, the changes were quite the opposite of what Ajax had imagined. The two heavy swords merging together should at least have the same size of a single heavy sword but the size of thebined sword was less and with a look, Ajax was able to tell that it was very light. As for thest elder, Eica''s evolved artifact was a white hawk feather that was releasing a few white rays onto twobined artifacts as though it was maintaining some stability in thebination of the two artifacts. ''All these artifacts are so good. I should try my best in finding a method to re-cultivation for others also,'' Looking at the strange abilities of the evolved artifacts and weapons Ajax felt excited and swore to himself that he had to find the re-cultivation technique for all his other contracted spirit beasts. It was very difficult to forge a high-grade artifact like heaven-grade or above grades. What''s more, the evolved artifacts were different as they could grow powerful alongside its owner. Although artifacts or weapons like that could also be forged the cost of the materials required to make such an artifact or weapon would be huge. Even then, if someone forks out all of his treasures and other valuables, then there was another factor called the sess rate of the forging. Even a rank 5 artificer or rank cksmith who had the ability to forge a legendary grade artifact only had a little more than 50 percent chance in forging a high-level heaven grade item. After thinking about all these factors, Ajax felt that finding a re-cultivation method for his contracted spirit beasts would be much more helpful. Some might think that finding the re-cultivation technique for different spirit beasts was equally or more harder than making a high-level artifact or weapon. However, they should not forget the other benefits of the re-cultivation. Justparing the artifacts that were gained from the re-cultivation was already good enough for Ajax to search for them. As for the reason, there might be a chance that some of his contracted spirit beasts might gain an evolved artifact or evolved weapon that could reach legendary grade or even mythical grade. ''Snow''s feather gown can easily reach the legendary grade and even has the chance of reaching the mythical grade,'' Whenever Ajax looked at Snow''s feather gown artifact, his interest to search for a re-cultivation technique for all his contracted spirit beasts had increased to another level. ''But finding that re-cultivation technique for all the spirit beasts is not that easy,'' However, Ajax knew the difficulties of finding the re-cultivation technique for his other spirit beasts. The re-cultivation process was different for different spirit beasts and required different techniques. In Snow''s case, she had got the re-cultivation technique from the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor''splete inheritance. So, Ajax didn''t need to ask for that cultivation from Elder Qwerek or other elders. As for Raweth''s case, he was already born in the humanoid form who doesn''t need any technique. ''I think Sparrow will also get a re-cultivation technique from the inheritance. If not, I can directly wage a war against the Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe and force them to give him that re-cultivation technique,'' When he thought about Ice Sparrow tribe he didn''t feel any sympathy towards them for forcing their own tribe''s childe out of the tribe for not winning the three-tribe contest. What''s more, some of them even tried to kill her for her bloodline purity. The re-cultivation technique for?each tribe would be ced in the hands of the tribe leader, so if Sparrow didn''t have any humanoid form, Ajax thought of visiting the ice sparrow tribe. ''Also, Elder Qwerek said that there is a region called Western Fox Lands connected to the Shixato wilds. I think Ghost must havee from that region. Since it has the strength simr to this Shixato wilds, I can venture it in the near future,'' Ajax smiled at his own thoughts thinking that he had many ns for the future already and he started wondering which one he shouldplete first. Ghost was none other than the three eyes ghost ck fox that Ajax had tamed when he came to the five elemental world for the first time. After taming it, Ghost had spent most of its time cultivating his strength. Whenever Ajax entered into the inner world, he could see that Ghost was always cultivating without even wasting a second as though it wanted to do something in the future. ''Please don''t say that it has the same problem as Sparrow,'' Ajax doesn''t want another sad story from his contracted spirit beasts. After bing familiar with the five elemental world, Ajax now felt that Ghost''s story must be something simr to Sparrow. He also guessed that Ghost must havee from the Western foxnds which were mainly ruled by fox tribes. ''If he is really from the western foxnds, then I can pay a visit to its tribe after clearing all my important matters and of course, I will only go after I be powerful,'' At the moment, Ajax had listed this task at the bottom of his to-do list and came out of his thoughts and looked at the fighting that was going in front of him. "All of you, are you ready?" Erek once more shouted at his fellow tribe members when he saw all of their evolved items were ced ording to their n. "Yes, second Elder," The remaining three elders and the Hawk captain replied with the same loud voice. "Now¡­.ATTACK," As soon as Elder Erek shouted ''attack'', the fusioned sword, shed the lightning strike into two and it didn''t stop with a single sh but continued to cut the lightning strikes into many pieces. As soon as the swordpletely shed the lightning strike into pieces, Ajax received a system notification that made him ted. ''Ding, Chapter 375: Full Lightning Recovery

375 Full Lightning Recovery

Congrattions to the host''s evolved spirit beast for gaining entry into the ''Way of Lightning'' ''Ding, To know more, check the information on your contracted spirit beast. When he saw the system notifications, Ajax was ted and didn''t waste any time in checking about the ''Way of Lightning'' Anyone in his position would be ted just like the way Ajax did since he already knew how powerful these elemental daos. This was not his first time with these kinds of daos. Previously Bane was enlightened in the ''Way of Poison'' and which helped his attacks be more powerful than before he was enlightened. Unlikest time, this time the lightning dao was learned by the spirit beast. So Ajax was excited to see the effects of the ''Way of Lightning'''' So, Ajax didn''t want to waste any time and opened the information on Snow before focusing on the ''Way of Lightning'' term on the holographic screen. ''Ding, Type of Dao:- Way of Lightning (Level 1) Effect:- 1) The attacking power of lightning attacks used by the spirit beast is increased by 15 percent. Note:- More effects will be unlocked when the level of the dao is increased. Addition skill:- Full lightning recovery Skill description:- A lightning recovery skill that can be used by the spirit beast when it is surrounded by the rich lightning essence of nature topletely heal itself. Higher the purity of the lightning essence of nature, quicker the healing is done. Note:- The skill can be used only one per month. "Huh? 15% increment in lightning attacks is not bad," Ajax slowly looked at the information regarding the ''Way of Lightning'' and felt that it was neither too bad nor too good. ''An additional skill?'' However, there was a surprised look on his face when he saw the additional skill. Generally, it was not possible to get an additional skill with an elemental dao. Since Snow had got one additional skill, Ajax felt that Snow was really very special in his spirit beast. Ajax didn''t conclude Snow was a special one based on this one but previously when he had used the primitive stone on Snow for the first time, it had gained and additional skill ''Thunderstorm'' which had helped him a lot in his journey until now. Just based on these two events of getting additional skills made Snow, a special type of spirit beast. ''I think, she might be my lucky charm,'' While thinking about the past events, Ajax felt that Snow was the lucky charm that would help him a lot in his future adventures. Because of Snow, he was not regarded as an enemy of the Lightning Hawk tribe; instead, he was invited into the tribe and they even gave him a temporary heaven grade artifact which helped him escape from the older birdman. Since all the spirit beasts had been contracted to him, they were all equal in his eyes. However, earlier he said that Snow being the lucky charm was what he felt and that didn''t mean he had to favoritize her over other spirit beasts. ''Despite being it will be used only once per a month, this skill is damn good and perfectly useful for a situation like this,'' After checking the skill description, Ajax felt this was a good skill for his current situation. Since the lightning essence of nature is very rich after the elders of the Hawk tribe had destroyed the essence of nature, Ajax felt that he did the right thing by keeping Snow outside. As Ajax was checking the information of the skill, the lightning essence of nature was already rushing into Snow which made Ajax think that Snow had already used the new skill ''Full lightning recovery''. ''With this pure lightning essence of nature, it will be recovered in only a few minutes,'' Ajax saw the speed at which the lightning essence of nature was rushing into her body and guessed the approximate time for its healing. ''I think, I should let Cerauno absorb some of this rich and smooth essence of nature that would help him increase his cultivation level,'' Ajax immediately thought about his lightning elemental spirit; however, Cerauno was still in his deep meditation and Ajax didn''t want to disturb him in his skill-awakening process and sat down to absorb the rich essence of nature. When the lightning strike was destroyed, the rich lightning essence of nature was limited to a specific region and since Snow was able toprehend the ''Way of Lightning'' in time, Ajax moved closer to the rich essence of nature filled area along with Snow.'' As soon as they were within the range, Snow used her new skill ''Full Lightning Recovery'' and stopped taking Ajax''s support to stand. ''Phew...I thought I would not be able to absorb such a rich lightning essence of nature,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he started absorbing the lightning essence of nature. He also thought, all his previous worries were for nothing as he was getting the free lightning essence of nature. ''Ding, The system sensed the mild and rich lightning essence of nature in his surroundings. ''Ding, Do you want to absorb it into the mini-thunder pool? As Ajax was feelingfortable with all over his body with the mild essence of nature that wasing from the destroyed lightning strike, he suddenly received two system notifications which made him wake up from his meditation. ''Huh? Sure. Do it,'' Ajax paused only for a second before epting the system''s request. Ajax didn''t feel bad for taking the mild essence of nature into his inner world because he knew that even if all the tribe members absorbed the lightning essence of nature that came from the destroyed lightning strike, it would not affect a tiny bit. Because the mild lightning essence of nature would disappear within a few minutes and even if all the Hawk tribe members cultivated in this area, they would not be able topletely absorb the lightning essence of nature. So, by absorbing the essence of nature into the inner world to upgrade the lightning elemental paradise, Ajax felt nothing wrong since the essence of nature would disappear within a few minutes. Not only Ajax, but all the elders who had fought until they were tired also started absorbing the lightning essence of nature like they had never had something like that in their lives. ording to them, each second they waste without cultivating in such a rich and mild lightning essence of nature was akin to wasting a few months of cultivation. Everyone was busy with their own cultivation and no one observed Ajax''s or Snow''s cultivation speed. If they did, then they would stop cultivating and instead do any other things like rearing small spirit beasts for the living. Because the speed was that monstrous that would make others stop cultivating. In the cultivation world, a mild essence of nature was very rare and most useful in cultivation because it would have any side-effects or other things and instead helps the cultivators to improve their cultivating talent. So, on one wanted to miss that mild essence of nature. As Ajax was concentrating on absorbing the pure essence of nature, he got an expected system notification. Ding, Chapter 376: Grade 3 Elemental Paradise

376 Grade 3 Elemental Paradise

Congrattions to the host, the mini-thunder pool has reached the grade 3 elemental paradise. Check the inner world to know more about the elemental paradise. Seeing the expected system notification, Ajax just smiled because he already knew that his lightning elemental paradise was on the verge of reaching grade 3. So, when the system absorbed the mild essence of nature into the inner world and added it to the lightning paradise, it had automatically reached the grade 3 elemental paradise. Without wasting any time, he quickly opened his user interface and clicked on the inner world feature. ''Ding, System feature:- Inner world Guardian:- Red Elemental paradises:- Lightning paradise, Fire and Water dual elemental paradise, Dark elemental paradise and Poison paradise. .. .. Many other data which Ajax had already known was disyed on the holographic screen. However, Ajax didn''t bother about other things and only concentrated on the Lightning Elemental paradise. ''Ding, Item Name:- Mini thunder pool Elemental paradise:- Lightning and Thunder (Grade 3) Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of the all element spirit beasts and elemental spirits. 2) Increases the cultivation speed by thrice and a 1 percent chance to awaken a lightning elemental skill for those who cultivated in the pool for longer times. 3) Continuous staying in the pool and drinking the mini thunder pool''s water can increase the bloodline and strength. Special effect:- 1) The water in the mini-thunder pool helps the growth of nts and trees. 2) 10 percent chance in the mutation of lightning elemental spirit beasts and elemental spirits. Note:- Limited to the beings less thanmander realm or rank 3 strength. "Huh?" Ajax briefly nced at the holographic screen and quickly found out the changes that had urred to the grade 2 lightning elemental paradise after reaching grade 3. There were not many changes in the grade 3 elemental paradise whenpared to the grade 2 elemental paradise. To be exact only 2 changes but that were not much useful. Nevertheless, if his luck was good then they were his biggest resources. Those 2 changes were a one percent chance in awakening the lightning elemental skills and another one was a 10 percent chance in the mutation of the lightning elemental beings. Although the second change might look good it came with a note which stated that only elemental spirits below spiritmander realm or spirit beasts below rank 3 could have any chance in the mutation. So overall Ajax felt that his high expectations of the grade 3 elemental paradise were given him quite a huge disappointment. ''With this Cerauno can catch up to other elemental spirits,'' He felt better after thinking about this. At the moment, he had two contracted auxiliary elemental spirits in his inner world. They were Poison elemental spirit, Bane and Lightning elemental spirit, Cerauno. Bane had already reached the elemental elite spiritmander realm and whereas Cerauno had only reached themander realm recently. So, with this grade 3 lightning elemental paradise, Cerauno would catch up to Bane in no time. As Ajax was multitasking, the mild lightning essence of nature disappeared within a few minutes making him and other elders wake up from their cultivation. ''Just some more essence of nature and my spirit consciousness would have already filled,'' While opening his eyes, Ajax muttered as he looked at the other elders of the Hawk tribe who were heaving sighs of relief. Also, everyone''s faces were filled with a satisfied expression like they had achieved something great. Looking at them, Ajax thought, ''For a tribe or an organisation, the upper echelon should be like this,?then that tribe or organisation would definitely prosper for centuries.'' After thinking for a moment, he stood up from his ce and walked towards the elder whose cultivation levels returned to normal; however, their cultivation levels were still greater than their previous original cultivation. That''s right. The effects of the pills they had consumed disappeared as soon as they destroyed the lightning strike. With that, they were weakened to a great extent. But, since the destroyed lightning strike had released a pure and mild lightning essence of nature, all the side effects of the pill had beenpensated and made them normal. After absorbing the pure lightning essence, all their cultivations which were previously overshadowed by the pill''s boosted cultivation were once again visible to all. While he was walking, Ajax started observing the cultivation realms with the help of the system. The first elder, Cretaul, who was injured earlier also recovered with the help of the mild lightning essence of nature and increased his cultivation from level 1 elite general realm to level 3 of that same major realm. The second elder, Erek who was closest to the lightning strike benefited a lotpared to other elders and reached level 2 of the elite general realm from the peak level 10 of the general realm. Although it looked only an increment of two minor realms, he crossed the major realm border in them. So it could be considered a great benefit for him. As for the remaining three elders, Kraiww, Krail and Eica whose cultivation strength before the lightning tribtion had started were level 5 of the generalmander realm and now it had finally reached peak level 10 of the general realm. And not to forget the Hawk captain, whose initial strength was around at the same level of the second elder had finally crossed his bottleneck and reached level 1 of the elite general realm. ''Huh? I think, my thunder pool''s water improved their cultivation by a huge margin whenpared to the mild lightning essence of nature,'' After observing the individual cultivations of each and every elder, Ajax felt that his thunder pool''s water had a huge effect on the Hawk tribe members. There was nothing wrong in Ajax''s thoughts, as the cultivations of all the elders didn''t increase much ording to Ajax''s previous assumptions. ording to their previous assumptions after absorbing the lightning essence of nature from the moment the lightning tribtion had started, it should have been increased by at least oneplete major realm. However, that didn''t happen; instead the maximum they had only five minor realms which were equivalent to half a major realm. ''Ding, As the system said earlier, the thunder pool''s water has a strong connection with the thunder pool''s water. ''Ding, Also, it was the first time that Hawk tribe members had used the thunder pool''s water, so the effects of it are very great. With time, the effects of the thunder pool''s water will be decreased. "Huh? What might that rtion be?" Ajax was surprised that his cunning system sent a notification about the reason and thought about the rtion between the Lightning Hawk tribe and the thunder pool''s water. Nevertheless, he stopped thinking about it and decided to ask Elder Qwerek after this lightning tribtion was over. Thinking about asking Elder Qwerek, he turned his head to look at Qwerek, who was still in the stalemate with the main lightning strike. Chapter 377: Enhancemen

377 Enhancemen

On his face, there was a serious expression that made Ajax worry because he felt that Qwerek might not win in the fight against the lightning time. ''Cerauno, please wake up quickly,'' Ajax hoped that Cerauno would wake up soon with a new skill so that he could begin his n. From the moment the system had released the mission to help Qwerek, Ajax felt that he needed to help him; otherwise, he might not win against it. He tried to talk to the other elder just a while ago when he walked towards them. However, he only received the same response from everyone. "Tribe leader has the strict orders that no one to interfere with him while he fights against the fifth lightning strike and even if we tried to help him it would only makeplicated for him," Ajax didn''t try to persuade them any further as what they said had logic to it and he even doesn''t have a foolproof n to help Qwerek. So he waited for Cerauno to awaken a good skill that could be of some use in this situation. ''Ding, Congrattions to the Host. His elemental spirit has awakened a new skill after absorbing the random skill crystal. ''What? Isn''t this too fast?'' Ajax was surprised and thought it was sooner than what he had expected. Even though he reached the elders no one was free to talk with each other as they were busy consolidating their cultivations. So he also acted as he was consolidating his recently gained cultivation and entered into his inner world in his spirit consciousness form to check the new skill of Cerauno. As soon as he entered into the inner world, Cerauno came out of the mini-thunder pool with an exciting look as though he was very eager to show off his new skill in front of his summoning master. ''Thank you for giving such a valuable item, summoning master,'' When Cerauno saw Ajax in the inner world, he immediately rushed towards Ajax and bowed while thanking him for the Random skill crystal. Cerauno also knew that he was not the strongest elemental spirit in Ajax''s contracted elemental spirits and he was also not an official elemental spirit. So when Ajax gave him the Skill crystal, he felt that his summoning master was not a partial one that separates the official elemental spirits from unofficial elemental spirits. In the elemental spirit world, there were some elemental spirits that broke their spirit contract with their summoning masters and returned to the elemental spirits. The spirit contract could only be broken by official elemental spirits with some kind of bacsh. Due to this, most of the elemental spirits know about most of the things about human worlds and human nature. ording to those talks, Cerauno learned that a summoner would favour his official elemental spirits over unofficial elemental spirits; however, after seeing that Ajax even gave him a valuable skill crystal, he felt that all the summoners were not like what he had heard. Even if he was not given that skill crystal to him, Cerauno would not feel anything as he was already content with his life. In his view, instead of staying in the elemental spirit world and waiting for a summoner to form an official spirit contract, it was better to venture to the outside world. Not all elemental spirits were like that. Let''s take Prophis for an example. He was the space elemental spirit that decided to wait for Ajax until he visits the elemental spirit world when he breakthroughs to the general realm just for an official contract. His reason for wanting an official contract with Ajax was to break the spirit contract if he was ever dissatisfied with Ajax in the future. ording to him, taking a bacsh would be a good thing; instead of serving wastrel summoner. "No need. I gave you the skill crystal because the situation demands it," Ajax stopped Cerauno from bowing and said his words and continued, "Let me check your new skill." "Sure, summoning master," Cerauno knew that his summoning master could check the skill of his elemental spirit without them saying anything about their skills. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Cerauno Element type:- Lightning Cultivation:- Level 4 elemental spiritmander realm Skills:- Weapon-making (level 3), Advanced Enchantment(Level 2), Special merge (Level 1) Special skill:- Enhancement Note:- Skill crystal can only be used once before any elemental spirit reaches the Elemental Spirit King realm. "Huh?" Ajax didn''t get an idea from the names of new skills and without wasting any time he focused on the special skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Enhancement Skill description:- Amon skill of many elemental spirits that could increase all the levels of their own skill by one for five minutes. Cooldown:- 30 minutes "This skill is good," Ajax was not very much satisfied with that skill but it was very useful for Cerauno in the long run. However, this had no use for his current situation. Nevertheless, Ajax nodded his head while saying it was a good skill in order to not hurt Cerauno''s excitement. "Summoning master, I know what you are thinking. But let me say something about thismon type ''Enhancement'' skill,''" All of a sudden, Cerauno''s words surprised Ajax. Although Ajax had a smile on his face, Cerauno could guess that he was not satisfied because the reason he used the Skill crystal on him was for him to awaken a good skill that might be useful in this present situation. However, what he had awakened now was the mostmon skill that almost every elemental spirit would get that skill in theter realms. So, he could say that Ajax was dejected with the new skill. "Oh...sorry, Cerauno. I didn''t expect you to awaken the mostmon skill. What is it that do you want to say? '''' Ajax apologized and asked about what he wanted to say about that skill. "Although it was amon type of skill, it is an umon skill for auxiliary elemental spirits," Cerauno shook his head and continued saying with a smile on his face, "It was very rare for an auxiliary elemental spirit to awaken this skill." "What?" Ajax felt shocked and his interest piqued in this subject and waited for Cerauno toplete his exnation about it. "Since auxiliary elemental spirits are said to be stronger than regr elemental spirits, the enhancement skill is not awakened in them. So, this skill is a very good skill that I can have. That''s the reason I was excited," Cerauno looked at Ajax afterpleting his exnation. "Oh? Really? Then it''s a good thing that skill crystal is put to good use...Haha," After hearing that, Ajax''s previous dejection went away and a real smile covered his face. ''Also, with the help of this skill, my second skill is very helpful in this situation,'' Cerauno slowly said to Ajax about his second skill. Chapter 378: Advanced Enchantmen

378 Advanced Enchantmen

Previously he was in a hurry to absorb the lightning strikes and only checked Cerauno''sst skill ''Special Merge''. "Yes summoning master, didn''t you check it already?" This time Cerauno was the one to be puzzled with Ajax. Until now, Cerauno thought Ajax must have already known about his second skill; however, from the looks of Ajax, he understood that his master didn''t check it. Thinking about it, Ajax immediately focused on Cerauno''s second skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Advanced Enchantment (Level 2) Effects:- Increases the power of weapons or artifacts by a certain percent for 10 minutes. Note:- Weapons produced by the elemental spirit''s first skill can be enchanted by 70 percent whereas other weapons can be enchanted by 50 percent of their original power. Cooldown:- 30 minutes. Skill Description:- A rare skill that will be awakened by only a very few elemental spirits. "Why am I wasting time when I have such a skill that is useful for my current situation?" Ajax facepalmed himself when he saw the information on Cerauno''s ''Advance Enchantment'' skill. ''With this, I can increase the power of Heaven''s destroyer by 50 percent. Although I don''t know how effective it will be, I hope it will be of some use to Elder Qwerek,'' Ajax thought that with this skill he chances of helping Elder Qwerek had improved by a lot. "Hahaha...Cerauno, the skill you awakened using a random skill crystal is finally useful for the current predicament," Ajaxughed loudly as he nodded his head. Even though the Enhancement skill was only amon skill, it could increase the ''Advanced Enchantment'' skill''s level from level 2 to level 3 and which would increase the percent in enchanting the weapons or artifacts. Ajax already knew how good Cerauno''s weapon-making skill was, so with this advance enchantment coupled with Enhancement skills, Ajax finally felt his confidence in attacking the main lightning strike. "Come out, Cerauno," Since he had enough confidence, Ajax didn''t hesitate any longer and summoned Cerauno out of his inner world whileing out of his spirit consciousness form. As Ajax wasing out of his inner world along with Cerauno, all the elders consolidated their newly gained cultivation realms and started talking to each other. "Tribe leader will destroy this main lightning strike, right?" Eica, who was youngest among all the elders worriedly asked other elders while looking at Qwerek who was in a stalemate with the lightning strike. "Did you forget, tribe leader Qwerek still didn''t use his one of the most powerful skills?" Kraiww looked at Qwerek first and then looked at Eica before calming her while mentioning some powerful skill. "He is waiting for a perfect time to destroy it and when he did that, you will surely be surprised...Haha," Elder Cretaul,ughed lightly as he stood up from the ground. "Huh?" Seeing hisugh, except for the Hawk captain, all the others who were in that area raised their brows and looked at the first elder, who was acting mysteriously. "Its tribe leader''s order not to divulge any information until he finished destroying the lightning strike," when he saw the expressions on his fellow elders'' faces, the First elder shook his head and said he couldn''t say anything about it. All the elders dejected hearing those words and expectantly looked at their tribe leader and waited for what would happen next. "By the way, did anyone notice that Ajax''s cultivation level reached the level 1 of the elitemander realm?" As though she suddenly remembered something, Eica pointed at Ajax, who was cultivating (in their view) and asked Kraiww, who was beside her. "Yes, his cultivation is now level 1 of the elitemander realm," Kraiww looked at Ajax and nodded his head agreeing to her. "Don''t you find something weird?" Eica red at Kraiww and continued to ask other elders beside her. "There is nothing wrong in his elevation as he absorbed the rich lightning essence of nature and not to forget he even absorbed the five lightning strikes that are released by the?lightning tribtion clouds," Kraiww didn''t mind her re as he considered her as his little sister and it wasmon between them. "My idiotic brother, before he could absorb the mild essence of nature, he had already reached the level 1 of the elitemander realm and he even absorbed the mild lightning essence of nature but still didn''t make any breakthrough in his cultivation. So, what do you think?" Eica lightly hit Kraiww''s head and exined a lengthy exnation about Ajax''s cultivation breakthroughs. "Really?" Kraiww and Krail shouted at the same time as though they were shocked. That''s right! They were shocked by Eica''s exnation. Since it was an impossible thing not to make a breakthrough after absorbing the mild lightning essence of nature from the destroyed lightning strike. Earlier they were not focusing on Ajax or on his cultivation as they were already in a troubled situation. So they were shocked with Ajax not making a breakthrough even after absorbing the mild essence of nature. ''Aarghh'' As they were discussing Ajax''s cultivation level, they heard Qwerek''s painful cry and immediately shifted their heads to their tribe leader. "Tribe leader, are you alright?" "Please, use that powerful skill already. We don''t want any surprises at your sacrifice," "Stop waiting, tribe leader. Our tribe already received a huge boost in every tribe member''s cultivation. So, no need to waste time any longer," Except for the first elder Cretual, all the other elders asked Qwerek to use his skill and stop wasting any time. Earlier, when they heard Creutal''s words, they already guessed, Qwerek must have some kind of n to benefit the tribe; however, with each passing second of time, they felt that the burden on Qwerek was increasing. If it was continued and his n didn''t work or if something unexpected had happened then they would have to say goodbyes to him forever. So, they directly said that there was no need to take a risk and also mentioned that the Hawk tribe now had sufficient strength whenpared to other two tribes in the Shixto wilds. "Tribe leader, how confident are you in making our n work?" As all the elders were stopping Qwerek, the first elder Cretual was asked something very different that made other elders angry. How could they not be angry with Cretual''s words? Indirectly, he was asking Qwerek to continue with the n. However, they didn''t say anything and waited for Qwerek''s answer. "50 percent...I need a little help to make our n work," Qwerek, who was at a stalemate previously, had now in a disadvantageous position with the main lightning strike said while gritting his teeth. "What help? I can help," All the elders asked Qwerek, for what they needed to do in order to reach a 100 percent sess rate. "Sigh..." To their reply, Elder Qwerek shook his head as though it would not work out. Chapter 379: Red-coloured paper crane

379 Red-coloured paper crane

An old man and a man in histe twenties rushed towards in a specific direction. In front of them, there was a paper crane that was leading them to a specific direction. The paper crane looked simr to the one that Captain Edmond had released when he came out of his residence. However, there was a small difference between the two paper cranes. The one that Captain Edmond released was in pure white colour. As for the crane, they were following now was in a red-coloured. "Guild master, why are we following this paper crane?" As the two people were running, the man in thete-twenties asked with a serious expression on his face. "Just stop asking me these questions and follow me. If you don''t want, then you can return back to the mercenary guild andplete other things," The old man scolded the man in histe-twenties which made that middle-aged man seal his mouth all a sudden. These two were none other than the Guild master of the Mercenary guild and his follower Rulf. When they were in the middle of some meeting, suddenly a paper crane had appeared from the window of the Guild master room making the Guild master stand up from his chair in a tense expression. The red-coloured paper crane only stopped for a second in front of the Guild master before starting flying away. As soon as it started flying away, the old guild master didn''t even wear his usual armour before rushing after it. Seeing that his master was running after the red-coloured paper crane, Rulf didn''t have any chance as he started following his master. Along the way, he had asked some many questions and continued to repeat those questions which irritated the old guild master and finally scolded him. ''I have never seen the guild master this tense before. What does that red-coloured paper crane mean?'' After sealing his mouth, Rulf started asking questions in his own mind while trying to find answers for them. However, he didn''t find any suitable answers even after thinking for a while and stopped hurting his mind with all the thinking and continued to follow his master. ''Whose red-crane is this? What kind of trouble did theynd this time,'' As Rulf stopped thinking, the old guild master started thinking about the owner of the red-coloured paper crane. ..... In the border of the middle section of the Cursed wilderness, "Where are we?" Captain Edmond woke up from his sleep all of sudden and immediately looked at his surroundings. ''Phew...another dream,'' He shook his head as he remembered everything happened before he slept with his injuries. Since he was injured very baldly, Captain Edmond fell into nearly 3-4 hours sleep and still felt sleepy as his injuries were still not healedpletely. Even though they were in the middle section of the Cursed Wilderness, all of them were sleeping peacefully and even Captain Edmond also wanted to do the same. As for the reason it was because they were guarded by the Barbarian hunter Darbaudr. All of them were very confident in his strength and even Captain Edmond thought that he could not win against him without using all his trump cards or without harming himself. So, he decided to take some rest. ''Another bad dream?'' As he was about to sleep to heal his injuries, Captain Edmond heard a familiar voice from the distance. Turning his head, what he saw was none other than his friend''s face. "You old Udo, stop sneaking on me. I was scared shitless just now," Captain Edmond red at Udo and replied to him. Although the voice was familiar, Captain Edmond didn''t expect Udo to appear behind him all of sudden. Also, he had already sent Udo on a small task of informing about spirit beast horde and demon siege on the Zrochester province. So, Captain Edmond, least expected Udo to surprise him. "Hehe" To Edmond''s words, Udo embarrassedlyughed while stroking his small white beard. "What happened to the task I assigned to you? Did youplete it?" Edmond shook his head and asked about the mission details. "Guild master was not in the mercenary guild. So, I was not able to inform him about the demon''s siege or spirit beast horde," Udo shook his head but still, he continued, "However, I informed to Sarah about it and asked her to ry that information to the Guild master as soon as he returns back to the mercenary guild." "What? He is not in the guild? There is no way he would have other things other thanzing in this room thinking about some past events," Edmond was shocked to hear that the guild master was not present in the mercenary guild. ording to his understanding of the guild master, Edmond knew that this guild master doesn''t like to leave his room unless it was very important. ''What that important thing might be?'' Immediately, Edmond''s previous sleepiness vanished into thin air thinking about the reason why the Guild master had left the mercenary guild at a time like this. "ording to Sarah, both the guild master and his follower are seen following a paper crane and rushed towards the Cursed wilderness. So, whileing back I took the same entrance they took to enter the Cursed Wilderness but I didn''t encounter them," While Edmond was thinking about the reason, Udo exined something more he got to know from the beautiful assistant from the mercenary guild. "What? A paper crane? Which colour is it?" As soon as he heard Udo''s words,?Edmond immediately stood up and weakly staggered towards Udo and asked with a serious expression on his face. "Huh? Wait wait wait," Seeing the weakly walking Edmond, Udo came forward to support him and said, "I think, it''s pink or red. Sarah was also not clear about the colour of the paper crane" "What? A red-coloured paper crane?" Edmond''s already pale face became even more pale when he heard Udo''s words. "She was not that clear about the colour. She only mentioned that it might be a pink or red coloured paper crane," When he saw the pale expression on Edmond''s face grew, he once again tried to exin about that colour. "There are no pink paper cranes, only red paper cranes," Edmond shook his head and looked at all the peacefully sleeping Godsons and Goddaughters. ''I think, Guild master and his follower will help a member who has used that red-coloured paper crane in right...sigh,'' Captain Edmond sighed while looking at the distant Barbarian who was guarding them and sighed. He knew that he was in no condition to help the one who used that red-coloured crane and he didn''t even know who was the one using it and where he was at the moment. Thinking all about it, Edmond felt helpless and hoped that the guild master would help them at the right time. "Edmond, what does that red-coloured paper crane actually mean?" Udo asked after Edmond while moving him back to his resting ce. Chapter 380: Types of paper cranes

380 Types of paper cranes

So, he asked hoping that Edmond would not skip his question and answer him directly. "You have seen me using white-coloured paper cranes, right?" Edmond looked at Udo for a second and started talking about the paper cranes. Even though he tone seemed to be like asking, he didn''t wait for Udo''s reply and continued, " Those white coloured paper cranes are given to me by the mercenary guild''s guild master." Saying until here, Edmond ced his hand on the left elbow which was previously injured in the fight with the huge chimera-like monster. "Looks like the wounds are acting up. You better sleep now and take some rest. You can exin about itter," When Udo saw the pained expression on Edmond''s faces, he shook his head and decided to stop bothering Edmond with his questions. While saying that he slowly supported Edmond in a resting position before moving away from Edmond. "You rest here, I will go and talk with Ajax for a while," After that, Udo lightly said to Edmond from the distance. Last time, when Udo met Ajax in this ce, he wanted to ask many questions but he was not able to ask them as they were demon servants and next Ajax entered into the Dimensional crevice. So, he never got a chance to ask his doubt about Ajax''s survival in the cursed wilderness even when Paulin was injured to an extent where he barely had any life left in him. "Wait...let me talk about it," Just as Udo decided to look for Ajax, he heard Edmond''s voice who told him he would exin about red-coloured paper cranes. ''You never changed old friend,'' When he heard Edmond''s words, Udo shook his head and returned back to Edmond and sat beside him to hear about the Red-coloured paper crane. From the time he got to know about Edmond, Udo knew that when Edmond decides to do something, he would not listen to anybody. So, without any retaliation, Udo sat beside him to listen about Red-coloured paper cranes. "There are three types of paper cranes that are given to the top three mercenary squad''s captains namely White, Blue and Red coloured paper cranes," Edmond thought back to the time, he stood equally with the other two squad captains and received ranking badges and other rewards from the guild master and continued exining about everything that had happened on that day. On that day, Edmond and the other two top captains received three types of coloured paper cranes in a box. That box consisted, 5 sets of white coloured paper cranes, 3 types of blue ones and only a single red-coloured paper crane. After hearing about the usage of paper cranes, all the captains had nodded their head and silently kept the boxes in their space ring. "This is what had happened on that day...sigh," Edmond heaved a sigh after exining about what the guild master had said on the day where mercenary squads were ranked. "Then that means someone from the other two top captains had already informed him about the demons'' attacks on Zrochester province to him,'''' Udo didn''t feel any surprise as he had already guessed that the usage of the red-coloured crane must be very important. The reason the guild master had only given those red coloured paper cranes to the top three captains were that they were the only mercenaries who were capable of venturing deeper into the Cursed wilderness or Cursed Abyss. As for the other low-level mercenary squad captains, only white and blue coloured paper cranes were given. Although these paper cranes were made up of some kind weird paper it was actually quite durable and there were some runes on those paper cranes that would allow them to pass any barriers. Some might think what was the actual difference between the white and blue and red coloured paper cranes since they all looked the same. In fact, there was one difference between them and that was speed. Among all the three types of paper cranes, white coloured one was the slowest one and the red coloured one was the fastest one whereas the blue coloured one was neither too fast like the red-coloured paper crane nor too slow like the white coloured paper crane. "I think, it''s most likely that one of those two captains are in danger and must be fighting for their life," To Udo''s words, Edmond said something different that made Udo confuse but he didn''t ask Edmond about it and waited for Edmond to continue his next words. "The two captains will never use the red-coloured paper crane for the sake of humankind as it was very valuable to use. So, I am guessing that they might be in a life and death situation right now," Captain Edmond scoffed at the two captains but there was no hate or anger in his words. ording to him, the red-coloured paper crane could save their life once from any danger with the help of the guild master, so they were not that kind-hearted to waste such a treasure on just informing about human kind''s danger. There was also another reason, Captain Edmond strongly believed that since the two captains were thrown out or willingly came out of their family by cutting their ties with them, they never cared about the human race. All they cared about was gaining strength and surviving in this dog-eat-dog world. "Okay, you need to rest a bit, I will guard with Darbaudr," Udo stood up and allowed Edmond to rest for a bit before he started searching for Ajax. ''Huh? Where is he?'' Udo raised his brows when he saw that he didn''t find Ajax among the ones that were sleeping peacefully. ''I think, I need to ask him,'' Even after searching for Ajax for some time, Udo didn''t find him and decided to ask the distant barbarian who was standing guard. "Hello...Darbaudr, where is your master?" Even though he didn''t have much impression on Barbarians, Udo showed respect towards Darbaudr for two reasons. One, since Ajax was his master, then he could be considered to be a member of their mercenary squad. Second, thest time he had seen Darbaudr, his cultivation was less than his own; however, now his strength was equal to his friend Edmond. "My master went for a little walk just a few minutes ago and he wille back in an hour or so," Even though Ajax was gone for more than 3 hours already, the Barbarian said that Ajax left the group just now making Udo raise his brow once again. Just like Udo, Darbaudr also didn''t have a good impression on Udo as he was always observing his master secretly which he didn''t like but Ajax ordered him not to fight with Udo. So he controlled his dissatisfaction. "Really?" Udo smiled while he asked Darbaudr with raised brows. Chapter 381: Princess Daphnes second awakening

381 Princess Daphne''s second awakening

Nevertheless, he answered to the Barbarian, "Just I want to ask a few questions to him." "I know what you wanted to ask my master about. But let me tell you he is not what you think. His cultivation has nothing to do with demonic techniques," Darbaudr didn''t wait for Udo''s reply and continued, "By the way, since you are here, help me guard for a while." After finishing his words, the Barbarian immediately found a small ce to take a small nap. Although he was not tired. He wanted Udo to guard them for always suspecting his master as a demonic cultivator. ''What the heck?'' Udo cursed inside his heart looking at Darbaudr''s attitude but he controlled as he really needed someone like him now on the team, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and kept an eye on his surroundings. His main duty was to stop any spirit beasts that came towards him and kill the high-level spirit beasts that attack them. ''Master, where are you now?'' As he rested, Darbaudr tried to contact Ajax through the secret technique; however, there was no response from the other end making the Barabrain worried. Still, he had the confidence that Ajax had enough capabilities and trump cards to escape any dangerous situations. .... In one of the rooms of the royal pce, "Hahaha...finally I was able to form a contract with my second official Elemental spirit," A beautiful young girl around 16 years old eximed loudly making those who were anxiously waiting for her also excited. The beautiful young girl with the majestic blue robe that was covering her entire body was none other than the sole princess of the Draton Kingdom, Princess Daphne. She was the one who gained the inheritance from the Summoner King''s inheritance ground. After gaining that inheritance ground her cultivation improved drastically and within a short time, she managed to break through to the spiritmander realm. That''s not all. When she made a breakthrough to the spiritmander realm her cultivation received another boost and her cultivation reached level 5 of the spiritmander realm in only a few days. When the people around her noticed that cultivation speed everyone was excited and her father Stephen Draton was the only one who became anxious. Just a few days earlier before princess Daphne even made a breakthrough to the Spiritmander realm, he announced that he would marry her off to the winner of the ''Champions contest''. After seeing her cultivation speed, Stephen felt that he was wasting her talent by marrying her off to one of the cultivators of the Zrochester province which he felt was not a good idea. As he was thinking about cancelling the marriage proposal thing, Princess Daphne''s cultivation speed was decreased at level 5 of the spirit cultivation and didn''t receive any improvement even after using many treasures making all those who were excited be disappointed in her. In the end, other than old Lin and two other guards that were taking care of princess Daphne from her childhood, the only ones cared about her and prayed for her to get her cultivation speed back. Yesterday night, before she was going to sleep, Princess Daphne had said to Old Lin and two other bodyguards that she might enter the elemental spirit world in her sleep that night and asked them to guard her room properly. Even though she only said to guard for the two guards, old Lin also guarded along with them to stop any unexpected things from happening. "Looks like everything went well...Phew" the old Lin was the first one to heave a sigh of relief hearing her voice. "Princess Daphne, can wee inside?" They had been waiting for her to wake up for a few hours now and when he heard the loud exmation from inside, they looked at each other''s faces and asked for princess Daphne''s permission to enter the room. "Yes, Grandpa Lin," When she heard her grandpa''s voice from outside, she calmed herself and asked them toe inside. "How are you feeling, Princess Daphne?" As soon as they entered her room, all the three members asked her excitedly. "Everything went well and I formed a contract with my second official elemental," Thinking back to her experience in the elemental spirit world this time, she smiled from ear to ear. And before they could ask any more questions, she continued, "Not only that but I have also formed contracts with two unofficial elemental spirits." As she said, she looked at old Lin''s face as though she was waiting for a shocked expression to emerge on it soon. As expected. Within a few seconds after she said about two unofficial elemental spirits, not only Old Lin''s face but the other two royal guards'' faces werepletely covered by the shocked expressions. All the two royal guards don''t know much about those official and unofficial elemental spirits, they only know that the more elemental spirits one had, the more powerful they would be. On the other hand, Old Lin was shocked because he knew how difficult it was to find an elemental spirit in the elemental spirit world. However, Princess Daphne not only found three elemental spirits but she also convinced them to forming a contract with her which was the very hardest thing to do. "Your luck is very good, Princess Daphne," While the two royal guards were still unable to find words, Old Lin slowly said her luck was good. "Yes, but there is also another thing that you people don''t know about," Princess Daphne acted mysteriously while looking at the Old Lin. "You brat. Stop ying with this old heart and quickly say what is it that helped you to form the contract with three elemental spirits in only a few hours," Grandpa Lin''s face became serious as he lightly hit Princess Daphne''s head. "Ouch...grandpa Lin, didn''t you promise me that you won''t hit me after my 15th birthday?" cing her hand on her head she pitifully questioned the Old Lin. "Did I? My memory is getting worse day by day," Old Lin stroked his long white beard as he replied to Princess Daphne with a question mark on his face. "Stop acting with that look. I have been seeing that look on your face from my childhood...Hmph," Princess Daphne red at him and turned her face in another direction. "Okay...if you don''t want to say it, then fine. I am leaving now," When he saw she act like that, Old Lin immediately used his deadly weapon against her and acted as though walking out of her room. ''Huh? Is he really going without asking the reason?'' Princess Daphne slowly looked at the leaving Old Lin with the corner of her eyes and became anxious. "Okay stop. I will say," She waited until Old Lin reached her room''s door before stopping him and said she would say the reason behind her multiple contracts in the shortest time. ''Hehe'' Old Linughed cunningly before recing that smile with an amicable one and turned towards Princess Daphne. Chapter 382: Grandpa Lin

382 Grandpa Lin

So, he was very confident that she would definitely stop him from leaving the room. "Say then," After turning his head towards Prince Daphne, Old Lin asked her with a small smile on his face. "It is because of the inheritance I have received from the Summoner King''s inheritance ground," Princess Daphne proudly said as though she had achieved something in her life. There was nothing wrong with her excitement or pride because it was a very rare thing to achieve what she had done in her second awakening. "Good. I didn''t think that the inheritance would help you this much," Old Lin''s face was filled with a satisfied expression when he heard Princess Daphne''s words. Previously, he thought that the Summoner king''s inheritance helped Princess Daphne in increasing her cultivation speed for a set of time; however, he never felt that the actual use of the inheritance was to find the elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world and to form a contract with the elemental spirits. ''If she forms a contract with many elemental spirits whenever she visits the elemental spirit world then she can be more powerful than an average summoner,'' Just thinking about this made the Old Lin excited about her future and looked to the skies and said in his heart, ''Daughter, your daughter will not be like you and can live the life as she likes.'' When he thought about her daughter, the Old Lin sighed but thinking about the bright future of his granddaughter, he felt uncontrobly happy. Mother of Princess Daphne was not the blood daughter of the Old Lin. She was adopted by him despite having her real parents. However, Princess Daphne''s mother didn''t like her real parents who were selfish to their core and never asked for her opinion in any of her matters and directly ordered. On the other hand, Old Lin looked after like a real daughter and swore to the heavens and formed a father-daughter bound under heavens. This matter was not known to anyone except for Stephen Draton, whoter gave some valuables to her real parents and managed to marry her. As for the reason why Stephen did what he did was that he knew that Old Lin was a powerful cultivator, who was only staying in the royal pce temporarily. Since Old Lin had no rtives, he decided to stay in the royal pce to look after her until he felt she was safe from the monsters of the Royal family. It was toote for him to realise that it was n of the royal family monsters for him to stay in the royal pce and protect the pce from any unknown attacks. As soon as she heard her mother''s name, Princess Daphne felt a pain in her heart that made her cry automatically. "Don''t cry kid. She will be watching over you from the heavens," Old Lin suddenly realised that he took out the painful topic for Princess Daphne and tried to console him. "Hmm" It took a while for Princess Daphne to control her emotions and calm down. "Since you have such a good trump to find the elemental spirits, you can finally go to the other province. But be careful not to say the effects of the inheritance to anyone," When he saw Princess Daphne had finally calmed down, Old Lin slowly said about her entry to another province and at the same time he warned her not to say anything about the inheritance. "I know grandpa Lin," Princess Daphne nodded her head with a beautiful smile which reminded Old Lin about her Goddaughter. "Also, I need to thank someone first before leaving for the other province," Princess Daphne said in a low voice that made Old Lin raise his brows. "Who? And why do you need to thank him?" Without wasting any time he asked Princess Daphne about that someone. Old Lin knew that she didn''t have a single friend and rarely talked with anyone. So, he was interested to know about that someone and why she wants to thank him or her. "I think his name is Ajax, who entered into the summoner king''s inheritance ground with me," Princess Daphne''s face got a little bit red when she said about Ajax. "Huh? You mean the kid that came out with you from the inheritance ground," Old Lin didn''t take much time to remember Ajax and asked her. "Yes. Do you know about him, Grandpa Lin?" Princess Daphne asked Old Lin excitedly when she heard his words. "Of course I know him. He is the talk of the town along with some other guy called Paulin," Old Lin felt something was weird with his granddaughter as he never saw her be that excited for someone. "What happened to you? Did you choose your own life partner? Haha," Old Lin was unable to control hisughter when he said these words to her andughed. As soon as she heard Old Lin''s words, Princess Daphne''s face became tomato red but she suppressed her embarrassment and scolded her grandpa, "Grandpa Lin, there is nothing like that. I didn''t even know about him. How can you say something like that to your 15-year-old granddaughter?" "What 15 year? In our time, marriages used to be done when the couple was around 14 years," Old Lin replied to princess Daphne without any dy. In this world, due to the cultivation and the essence of nature strengthening their bodies from the time they were born, they matured around 12-13 years and people used to marry around 15 years of age. So, Old Lin pointed out this topic to base his words. "Stop it. Now times are changed. Even if they are not changed, I am not interested in marriage anytime soon," Princess Daphne took a deep breath and continued, "Also, the reason I want to thank him for his help in the inheritance ground. Nothing more, nothing less." "Ok ok ok. Now say, how did he help you?" Seeing that Princess Daphne was bing serious, Old Lin stopped his teasing and asked about Ajax''s help. Old Lin knew when to stop and decided to stop because if she became hurt with his words and stop talking with him, he would be the one to suffer more than her. There was a reason for that. In the whole royal ce, Princess Daphne was the only person he felt closest to his heart and openly spoke with her. As for others, he would not even bother to talk and only do his own work. Even with King Stephen Draton, he only gives his replies with his head and doesn''t bother to open his mouth. "Because he was the reason I got the inheritance in the inheritance ground," Princess Daphne, satisfied with the Old Lin''s behaviour and opened her mouth. "Really?" Not only Old Lin, but even the two royal guards were also shocked when they heard Princess Daphne''s words. Chapter 383: Princess Daphnes feelings

383 Princess Daphne''s feelings

He said that ording to the rules of the inheritance ground, Ajax should be the one to go get the inheritance; however, the summoner king felt that Ajax won''t be having much use with the inheritance and as for why he felt that way, she didn''t understand it and summoner king also didn''t exin. But one thing was sure, that Ajax rejected the inheritance and he didn''t even ask the?summoner king to give it to Paulin, who was closer to Ajax. Although she didn''t want to think much about Ajax, she could not help but always thought about him and why he agreed to pass the inheritance to her. When they came out of the inheritance ground, she wanted to thank him; however, she didn''t know how to approach him as she didn''t have much experience in talking with strangers. However, after seeing the benefits like a temporary boost in cultivation speed and the helping in finding the elemental spirits and forming a contract with them, she felt that she would at least say thanks to him before leaving the Zrochester province to change her fate. "Huh? Why did he reject such a beautiful inheritance? He is such a fool," Although he scolded Ajax, he felt happy that he rejected it such that her granddaughter was able to get such a good inheritance. "Please don''t call him that grandpa. Because of that, I got this inheritance and also, he must have a good reason to reject it that even summoner king said that he felt Ajax has no use for his inheritance," Princess Daphne retorted to Old Lin''s words and exined what the Summoner King had said to her while imparting her his inheritance. "Now I think about it, there is something weird about it. No wonder, he became popr in a short time aftering out of the inheritance ground," Old Lin nodded his head when he heard Princess Daphne''s words and thought back to the time when the royal pce had sent invitations to participants of the Champions'' contest. "Looks like he wille here in a few weeks to participate in the Champions contest. Then you can say your thanking and even gift some valuable things to him," Even though Ajax might be a popr genius cultivator to the outside world, from the perspective of Old Lin and the royal pce, he was just another poor mercenary, who risks his life for some cultivation resources. So, he suggested Princess Daphne give him some cultivation resources or artifacts to Ajax when hees to the royal pce. "Hmm...is it fine to give him these cultivation resources in return for what he gave me?" Princess Daphne didn''t feel good to give the cultivation resources which were not even 1 percent from what the inheritance had provided her. "But but..," "Fine fine, I have this mid-level heaven grade sword, give it to him when you meet along with some cultivation resources," Before Princess Daphne could finish her sentence, Old Lin interrupted her and took out a majestic golden coloured sword and passed it to her. "But this is your favourite sword. I can''t take it, Grandpa Lin," Princess Daphne shook her head and didn''t ept the golden sword. "Sigh..take it kid and give it to him," Old Lin didn''t give her any time to reject the sword this time and immediately left the room after cing the golden sword in her hands. ''That kid is lucky. With this sword, he can fight the cultivators with 2 or 3 more minor realms higher than him...hehe,'' After leaving the Princess Daphne''s chamber, Old Lin thought in his head and smiled as though he was helping Ajax greatly. But what he didn''t know about Ajax was that Ajax could already fight the normal cultivators of one major realm higher than him with his raw cultivation strength and with his bloodline and other trump cards, he could fight even higher realm cultivators. If this matter was known to Old Lin, he would definitely go back and take his golden sword and ask Princess Daphne to don''t thank him with simple cultivation resources which would surely embarrass her. Along with Old Lin, the two royal guards also left the chamber leaving Princess Daphne alone in her room. "Why am I unable to stop thinking about him?" After everyone left her chamber, Princess Daphne muttered with a blushed face. From her childhood, other than Grandpa Lin, no one cared for her or gifted her something. Although Ajax rejected the inheritance of the Summoner King, because of him, she got the inheritance. So, whenever she remembered about Ajax, she felt something in her heart but since she was new to this feeling she didn''t understand what was going on in her heart. "I need to break through to the elitemander realm before the contest starts and should show everyone what I am capable of," All of sudden, she woke up from her thoughts and focused on her cultivation. ...¡­. In the five elemental world, ''Huh? Elder Qwerek is not confident in dealing with the main lightning strike?'' Ajax who woke up long ago from his meditation and heard the conversation between Elders and Qwerek as he thought in his head before opening his eyes. As soon as he came out of his inner world, he didn''t open his eyes, instead, he watched their conversions. When he first heard the conversation between the five hawk tribe elders, he was anxious as he didn''t have a reason to exin to them about his stagnant cultivation even after absorbing the mild essence of nature from the destroyed sixth lightning strike. So, he didn''t dare to open his eyes and continued to listen to their conversations. Also, he immediately stopped summoning Cerauno out of his inner world because if he summoned him, they would know that he had awakened from the meditation. As he continued to listen, he finally got a rough idea that tribe leader Qwerek needed small support and his n would work and if not it would fail. "Is there really no way we could help you, tribe leader Qwerek?" "Tribe leader, what are you nning to do?" "Tribe leader, just say what we need to do and we will help you," All the elders, except for the first elder, begged Qwerek to stop what he was doing and asked him to exin his n so that they could help him. "Stop annoying me. Ok, I will say now. Destroy this lightning strike a little bit to decrease its power. Can you do it?" Elder Qwerek was annoyed by their words and shouted at them while gritting his teeth. "I think I can help with that small help. What do I need to do Elder Qwerek?" As everyone was in a confusion, Ajax stood up from the ground and walked towards the Elders and confidently asked them. Chapter 384: Careful Planning

384 Careful nning

When they saw Ajax moving towards them with a confident expression on his face, all the elders felt hope; however, the first elder shook his head at Ajax. Among all the elders, the first elder knew better than anyone about Qwerek''s n and how difficult it was to achieve. So, he woke up all the elders from their dreams. "Sigh..." When they heard the first elder''s words, all the elders sighed since what the first elder had said was right. It was impossible to destroy a part of the lightning strike before the tribtion clouds could notice it. If the tribtion clouds notice that someone was hindering with the main lightning strike, it would send even more lightning strikes. "I know it''s hard, but I have the confidence to damage the top 20% of the lightning strike in one attack," Ajax looked at the first elder and expressed his views on the lightning strike and continued, "I hope that is enough for tribe leader Qwerek to finish his n." From the beginning to the end, Ajax''s face was filled with confident expression making others believe in him. When he saw the confident look on Ajax''s face and heard his words, the first elder didn''t say anything this time and looked at Qwerek for a confirmation. Qwerek also believed Ajax''s words and nodded his head. Since his n was very beneficial to the future of the Hawk tribe, Qwerek was also willing to take a risk. "Ok Ajax, but you know how risky it is to meddle with other cultivators'' main lightning strike, right?" The first elder warned Ajax once again and nodded his head. "I will definitelyplete the mission," Ajax nodded his head as though he was replying that he knew how risky it was and confidently said to all the elders that he wouldplete the mission. Ajax was very confident in his mission of destroying the main lightning strike by 20 percent because he had already paid some essence of nature to know about the weakness of the main lightning strike. Previously the ''Pay to Know'' feature was temporarily locked as he already used the 5000 units the essence of nature on it; however, after he entered the forcefully made a breakthrough in his spirit cultivation, the limit to speed on the ''Pay to Know'' feature was increased from 5000 units to 8000 units of the essence of nature. Before walking towards the elders, Ajax used 3000 units of the essence of nature in the ''Pay to Know'' feature and learned about the weakness of the main lightning strike. Before attacking the main lightning strike Ajax once again checked the information he gained from the ''Pay to know'' feature. ''Ding, ''Attack top, attack top,'' Ajax muttered as he looked at the main lightning strike in front of him which looked like a ferocious beast that was pouncing onto the umbre in Qwerek''s hands. "Cerauno,e out," As he looked at the main lightning strike, he summoned his lightning elemental spirit from his inner world. ''Cerauno, take this and use your Enhancement and advanced enchantment skills,'' As soon as the lightning elemental spirit came out, Ajax didn''t waste any time in giving his orders to him along with the Heaven destroyer spear in his head. The Heaven destroyer spear was still in the?bloodlust form and Ajax only wanted to activate the heaven destroyer spear form after all his preparations were done. So that he could utilize the heaven destroyer spear to his best since it could only stay in that form for 5 minutes. After that, it will return to its bloodlust form. Cerauno nodded his head and used his both skills which Ajax had mentioned as fast as he could and looked at the main lightning strike. "Cerauno, how confident are you in destroying the top 20 percent of the lightning strike," Ajax asked to get a confirmation from him. As soon as he used both the skills, the power exuded by the bloodlust form had greatly increased and saying that, the hope in the elder''s eyes increased. The aura it emitted had crossed the Heaven grade and it just needed a little more before it could exude the aura of the legendary grade weapon. "Summoning master, that...that is¡­.I don''t know," Cerauno rubbed the back of his head and embarrassedly replied to Ajax. "Huh? Ok" Ajax was puzzled at first that Cerauno was unable to find out about his odds against the main lightning strike but thinking that Cerauno only had the strength of themander realm he nodded his head. "Master, he only has a 40 percent chance after the bloodlust spear turned into Heaven''s destroyer form" Just as he nodded his head at Cerauno, he heard Snow voice through the spirit contract. "What? Only 40 percent?" Ajax was shocked to hear that and looked at Snow who was behind him. Although he was shocked, he didn''t doubt Snow''s judgement in the percentage of Cerauno''s odds against the main lightning strike. Since she was now a general realm cultivator with the ''Way of Lightning'' dao, Ajax was not surprised she could urately judge the odds of Cerauno against the main lightning strike. "So, I am still short on some power," Ajax muttered as he looked at the main lightning strike before looking at Cerauno. ''That''s right! I still have that attack,'' Ajax suddenly thought of something when he looked at his lightning elemental spirit. "Cerauno, can you use your ''Special merge''?" Ajax asked Cerauno through the spirit contract. ording to him, since Cerauno waspletely healed, he felt that ''Special Merge'' skill''s cooldown must be reset and thought if he could use that skill he felt that his odds against the lightning strike would be doubled. ''Huh? Yes, I think I can use that skill,'' Cerauno nodded his head as he replied to Ajax. "Great," Ajax was relieved when he heard those words. He also had a backup n if Cerauno''s ''Special merge'' was still on cooldown. That was to merge with Snow whose skill was already reset and he could use it anytime he wants. However, he felt that Cerauno''s ''Special Merge'' was powerful since the skill was enhanced by the new skill ''Enhancement''. There was also another reason, Ajax didn''t want to merge with Snow. The bacsh of merging with Snow was higher whenpared to merging with Cerauno. Since Cerauno''s skill was original and Snow''s skill was a copy, the bacsh received by Snow and Ajax was more which he had already felt earlier and did not want to use that once again unless he doesn''t have any other chance. "Cerauno, special merge," After thinking about his n, he ordered Cerauno to merge with him. Soon, the lightning elemental spirit entered Ajax and changes started to appear in his appearance that made him look like a ''Son of lightning''. Chapter 385: Fully charged Heavens destroyer spear

385 Fully charged Heaven''s destroyer spear

He looked like he had just descended from the thunder realm that made all the surrounding elders and other tribe members marvelled at his presence. "Will all the summoners be this powerful after merging with their elemental spirits?" Eica had a look of excitement while she muttered those words unconsciously. "Although every summoner can get some merging skill with their elemental spirits, I don''t think everyone would be this powerful," Kraiww also had an excited expression on his face as he said what he had known on Summoners. The five elemental world was not like Zrochester province, where many people don''t know about summoning, summoners and elemental spirits. The Summoners'' group were frequent visitors of the five elemental world and the residents of the five elemental world had gained quite a good knowledge about Summoning and elemental spirits. So, Kraiww was able topare Ajax''s merging with the knowledge he had in his head and felt the knowledge in his head was not entirely right. Their reason they were shocked by Ajax''s boost in his cultivation realms were way higher than normal standards. General a Summoner when he was merged with his elemental spirits, they could touch the boundary of one major realm boost in their cultivation; however, Ajax''s cultivation crossed the one major realm and even crossed a couple of minor realms in that major realm making all marvel at his merging process. "Everyone, be ready with your evolved weapons and artifacts. If something unexpected happens, be ready to protect yourselves first," As all the elders were thinking something in their heads, the first elder gave his orders in a serious tone waking everyone from their dreams. All the elders didn''t give a reply to the first elder''s words; however, everyone took out their evolved artifacts from their spirit consciousness and poured their essence of nature into them and readied themself for any unexpected events. "Now, it''s time to turn you into Heaven''s destroyer form," As all the elders were alert with their own evolved artifacts, Ajax looked at the blood-red spear in his hands and muttered. After the Special merge, Ajax''s original cultivation which was at the level 1 of the elitemander realm had boosted to level 5 of the general realm. The boost this time was even more than thest time he was merged with Cerauno. Because the ''Special merge'' this time was increased by a level from Cerauno''s new Skill Enhancement. The Enhancement skill could only increase the levels of all the skills by a single level for five minutes which has the same cooldown as of the ''Special Merge''. ''This mission, I canplete,'' Ajax didn''t waste much time and clutched the blood-red spear in his hand and thought in his mind, ''Heaven''s destroyer form'' As soon as he activated Heaven''s destroyer form, the blood-red spear in his hand had turned into a white shining spear that made everyone''s eyes blind. "What is that spear?" "All of sudden, it changed its colour from blood-red to shining white," "Also, its power has increased and exuded the aura of a legendary grade weapon," "I wonder where he got such a powerful weapon?" All the elders were already shocked at the aura exuded by the blood-red spear and now the aura exuded by the white shining spear had reached the legendary realm and just feeling its aura made them shiver. "Although the aura it exudes looks like a legendary grade weapon, it''s actually still in the Heaven grade. From the looks of it, I think it was another type of boost from Ajax for his weapons," Elder Qwerek''s lost hope had returned when he saw the Ajax new strength and the power exuded by his spear and said to others who were bbergasted at the Ajax''s new form. ''Ding, .????Detecting the power level of the host crossed the general realm and Heaven''s destroyer spear''s consciousness has awakened a little (Spear soul). ''Ding, A new effect is unlocked by the awakened spear soul. ''Ding, Check the effect in the information of the spear. ''Huh? What is happening?'' Within a few seconds after activating Heaven''s destroyer form, Ajax''s head was continuously filled with some system notifications. Along with that, his body felt a little bit stronger and the spear in his hands started shining even more. Without any hesitation, he immediately opened the information on Heaven''s destroyer form to check the new effect. ''Ding, Additional effect:-?5 percent increase in the original body strength. "Huh? Only 5 percent?" Ajax felt it was small but when he felt the new power pouring into him, he felt that it was great. "Ufff" Ajax took a long breath before looking at the main lightning strike that made the Elder Qwerek almost kneel to the ground and didn''t waste any time before rushing at the main lightning strike. ''I can do this...I can do this,'' Ajax muttered while running towards the lightning strike and activated his level 2 spear dao which gave another boost of 30 percent in pration. ''Gasps'' When the elders looked at the fully charged Heaven''s destroyer spear in Ajax''s hand, they gasped and felt that it would definitely destroy the main lightning strike. After running closer to the main lightning strike, Ajax threw Heaven''s destroyer spear in his hand with full momentum. As soon as the spear left Ajax''s hands, it rushed towards the main lightning strike like a snake that was going to swallow the moon. At the same time, the spear started spinning itself that generated a powerful force at the tip of the spear. "If the spear touches the main lightning strike, the lightning strike would be destroyed, right?" Eica asked Erek looking at the shining spear in the mid-air that was rushing towards the main lightning strike. "Yes, the legendary grade spear will definitely destroy it," Erek and other elders nodded their heads while answering her question. Although they know that the spear was still in Heaven-grade, they said it was a legendary grade weapon because of the power it gained with Ajax''s spear dao. ''I hope that it prates through the midsection of the lightning strike and then it would be easy for tribe leader Qwerek to finish his n,'' The first elder thought in his head looking at the shining spear that was just released by Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, to everyone''s surprise, the spear didn''t go straight to the middle section of the main lightning strike; instead, it slightly changed its direction and rushed to the top portion of the lightning strike. ''I don''t want anything unexpected to happen at this moment, so it''s best to attack the top portion of the main lightning strike,'' While running Ajax thought to attack the middle section of the lightning strike because he thought with the addition of his spear dao, he could definitely destroy it. However, he felt that he still didn''t know much about the lightning strikes and changed the spear''s direction to the top portion of the lightning strike. Chapter 386: Is it over?

386 Is it over?

As soon as the spear touched the top portion of the main lightning strike, huge booming sounds were heard by all the onlookers that made their ears shattered. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' Even though everyone closed their ears, they still heard the reverberating sound of the collision in their ears. "These sounds, they are making me go crazy," "It''s no wonder that the main lightning strike is powerful," All the elders along with the remaining hawk tribe members in the distance clutched their ears as they tried to resist the huge sounds. The impact of the huge sounds was not much on General realm cultivators as they could resist it. But the condition of the low-level cultivators was worse and they barely remained conscious. However, the sounds didn''tst much longer; otherwise, they would have be deaf. As soon as the sounds calmed down, everyone focused on the main lightning strike and were shocked by what they saw. The main lightning strike was cut off by at least 20 percent of its top portion and the reason they were shocked was that the top 20 percent of the lightning strike was greedily sucked by the spear making their jaws drop. ''This is it, now I can use it,'' As everyone was shocked by the abnormal skill of Heaven''s destroyer spear to absorb the top portion of the lightning strike, Elder Qwerek felt it was the right time for him to use his powerful skill andplete the final step of all his nning. Qwerek was nning something for his tribe even before he attracted the lightning tribtion clouds. From the moment the tribtion clouds released the lightning strikes towards him, everything was in his n and even though many unexpected things had happened to his n, it finally reached the conclusion he wanted to happen, so the tribe leader Qwerek was excited and used his final step of the n. Without wasting any second, he immediately pushed the umbre in his hand towards the main lightning strike with his full force. After forcing the umbre towards it, with his full force he punched the ground below him. Due to his forceful punch, the ground cracked a little in an unusual way. The cracks on the ground looked like they were carefully designed and ced there. As soon as the crack appeared, Qwerek pped his hands with full force for a single time. In the next second the main lightning strike entered into those cracks as though something was attracting it into the ground. Within a few seconds, the main lightning strike had entered into the ground and as soon as it entered, the cracked ground closed before bing the normal ground without a single crack left on the ground. ''Phew...'' In the sky, the tribtion clouds were clearing as though Qwerek had sessfully passed the lightning tribtion. "Is it over? That''s it?" Ajax controlled the heaven''s destroyer spear and made it return to him while looking at the moving away tribtion clouds and muttered. While muttering that he felt a small disappointment as he thought that he would gain something from destroying the 20 percent of the top portion of the lightning strike but he didn''t gain anything. Even though Heaven''s destroyer spear had absorbed that 20 percent of the lightning strike, it didn''t gain any new effect or anything. ''Anyway, let''s be content with thepleted mission rewards,'' In the end, Ajax consoled himself with the mission that he had justpleted. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the bonus mission:- Help Elder Qwerek. ''Ding, Aplishment rating:- A+, an energy orb that can increase the cultivation realms by 3 minor realms has been sent to the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, A new special guardian is rewarded and directly sent to the host''s inner world within a few hours. "Huh? Hahaha," Just as he was consoling himself about the bonus mission, the system sent the notifications about thatpletion of the bonus mission and its rewards. Seeing the series of system modifications, Ajax carefully read them and startedughing. ording to him, a guardian was a good reward since it could look after his inner world. Even though he already had a guardian he was unable to manage everything on his own. What''s more, he was still very small ording to the age-cycle of the souls. So, Ajax felt that having a couple of guardians was a good thing in managing his inner world and with the rate he was improving it''s only a matter of time before he needed even more guardians to manage his inner world. ''And the system, I think it''s changed,'' Ajax was shocked for a second when he saw the second system notification that said that the aplishment rating given by the system was ''A+''and felt that the system had changed and became magnanimous while rating it. Earlier he thought that if the system gave him an ''A'', he would be more than happy; however, the system gave him an even higher rating which he least expected. ''Thinking back to it, the effort I put into solving the mission should be given A+ aplishment rating,'' Ajax shamelessly thought in his head and he even knew how he was able toplete the mission. ''Let''s check the information after going back to the room,'' Since the guardian was not given to him yet, he decided to check about him after going to his room and looked at the elders in front of him. All the elders heaved a sigh of relief and looked at their tribe leader and the first elder to see what they were nning from the beginning. However, to their surprise, there was nothing that was benefiting their tribe which made them puzzled. "First elder, what did the tribe leader Qwerek had just done?" Ajax walked towards the first elder and curiously asked about their n. Since they went to arge extent for some simple lightning tribtions that Elder Qwerek could easily cross, so he was curious about the rewards for their hard work. Previously, the lightning essence of nature from the four lightning strikes helped the tribe members and Ajax''s so much, so that Ajax felt that the final and main lightning strike might help their tribe even more. So, he moved towards the first elder who was not tired as much as the tribe leader Qwerek to know about their n. Simrly, all the elders also looked at the first elders and waited for the first elder''s answer. "Hehe," However, the first elder didn''t answer him directly and looked at the elders who were curiously looking at him andughed eerily that made all the elders frown a bit. ''I think, this first elder is intentionally making them wait...sigh,'' Ajax sighed looking at the actions of the first elder and continued thinking, ''And he will not say about their n to me now.'' ''You don''t need to worry. I will let them hang in suspense for a few more hours, but let me exin the tribe leader''s n to you now,'' Just as he thought he needed to wait some more time to know about the n, Ajax heard the first elder''s voice in his head. Chapter 387: Result of the plan

387 Result of the n

However, when he saw the disappointed look on Ajax''s face, he decided to reveal about the n since Ajax helped their tribe in many cases and he didn''t want Ajax to wait for much time. ''Huh? Really? Say it,'' When he heard the first elder''s voice in his head, he was excited and his previous dejected expression was reced with an excited one which made all the onlooking elders raise their brow and thought there was something amiss. ''Do you need to show your excited expression to others? Quickly change it,'' The first elders didn''t exin the n to Ajax as he had expected; instead, he berated Ajax for bing excited all of a sudden. ''Huh'' Soon Ajax suppressed his excitement and moved away from the first elder but he didn''t move too much distance and stayed within a specific distance to the first elder so that the voice transmission would not have any problem. Although, all the elders felt something was wrong but they didn''t ask Ajax as he was already moved away from them. ''At the beginning of the lightning tribtion, the two barriers that converted the lightning energy into the lightning essence of nature is just a sample,'' The first elder''s words had contained certain mysterious tone to them as he continued, "Tribe leader Qwerek has already known that we would not be able to convert the main lightning strike to the essence of nature but there is a great thing we could do with it." The first elder took a deep breath and looked at the ground near the Elder Qwerek and said to Ajax, ''You asked for the reward for our hard work, right?'' ''Yes,'' Ajax also looked at the recently closed cracked ground and nodded his head. ''It is the grade 1 lightning elemental paradise,'' The first elder slowly said to Ajax. Even though the words were slow, Ajax noticed that the first elder was also quite about the grade 1 elemental paradise. "What?" Ajax shouted out loud all of a sudden when he heard the first elder''s words making all the elders focus their attention on him. ''Youuu,'' the first elder didn''t know what to say to Ajax when he shouted out loud with a surprised expression. "What are you saying Cerauno, you are about to breakthrough?" Ajax immediately came out of his surprise and tried to cover his sudden surprised ''What?'' expression with another thing. Since Ajax was still in thebined form with Cerauno, none of the elders found it was weird with Ajax''s shock when Cerauno was making a breakthrough as he was the lightning elemental spirit and from the beginning the lightning essence of nature so pure. ''Phew...I think, they believed me,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he transmitted his voice to the first elder. ''First elder, will this area really be turned into a grade 1 lightning elemental paradise?'' Ajax asked the first elder for confirmation. ''Yes, but it will take at least one day for that to happen,'' the First elder nodded his head and looked at Qwerek, who wasughing like a small child. "Ajax, find a ce and rest for a while, I will order the tribe members to begin constructing the houses," Until now they talked in voice transmission but now, the first elder casually said to Ajax to take rest somewhere. Since Ajax had done the most in this lightning tribtion, the first elder wanted Ajax to take rest for some time. "Sure elder," Ajax nodded his head at the first elder and thought, ''I can''t refine pills in the open anyway, I will take some rest until they construct the tribe leader''s house. In the lightning tribtions, not only the tribe leader''s house but all the houses in 500 meters radius around it were also destroyed. So, without a choice, he waved his hands at the elders that were rxing on the ground and left from that ce. He had another reason to leave that ce, that was because he got red kitty''s voice transmission through the spirit contract. Although he was unable to understand red kitty''s words, he was able to tell that it was important. So, he immediately left the Hawk tribe area. "Hmm¡­.you. Yes, you. Come here and start repairing the tribe leader''s house," As soon as Ajax left that area, the first elder surveyed the distant Hawk tribe members and found one head hawk tribe member of the constructing unit and ordered him to start working. "Yes, first elder. I willplete the work as soon as possible," the head tribe member of the constructing unit was excited that the first elder still remembered him and gave his word toplete the work as soon as possible. After saying his words, he immediately went back to the crowd and picked some strong Hawk tribe members and moved towards the tribe leaders'' house to start the repairing. "Did you notice, the first elder and Ajax talked through the voice transmission for a while," Erek, who was only second to the first elder, Cretual muttered in a low voice that only his fellow elders could hear. "Yes, I too noticed it but you know I can''t talk back to the first elder," Eica, the smallest among the Hawk tribe elders nodded her head and sighed. "Let''s leave it. No one has the courage to force the first elder to say about the n," Kraiww shook his head and asked others to stop thinking about the result of Qwerek''s n. "That is also true," Erek agreed with Kraiww. Even though he was the second elder, he was not as strong as the first elder or not even had the courage to retort him. "But, Captain Hawk, here might know about the n since he was with the first elder and the tribe leader before the lightning tribtion starts," Erek squinted at Captain Hawk which made the remaining elders also look at the Captain which made him frown. "Sorry, I don''t know anything about the n or whatever. They kicked me out after telling me half the n and what I have to do. That''s it. Nothing more or nothing less," However, the Hawk Captain replied to them with an expressionless face that made others stop asking about the n. As for the first elder, he was moving towards the tribe leader Qwerek with a smiling face and he also heard what the Hawk Captain had said and his smile on his face had increased even more. "Sigh...first elder, stop making them anxious and let them know the good news," Seeing the smiling expression on Cretaul''s face, the tribe leader sighed at the first elder. Qwerek only wanted to hide the n until it became sessful/ Since the n was sessful now, there was nothing to hide and wanted to know about their hard work to other elders. However, the first elder''s yful nature came out and made all the other elders anxious. "Hehe," In reply to Qwerek''s words, the first elder just replied with a smile before sitting beside Qwerek. Chapter 388: Red Kitty? He?

388 Red Kitty? He?

"Huh?" Qwerek raised his brows and looked at the first elder for a second before asking him, "What are you asking exactly." Although the question looked simple, Qwerek felt that the first elder was behaving weirdly today. "Yoy heard right. Our Hawk tribe needs the elders who can think better and do the necessary things for the tribe in case of any serious situations simr to the one we just went through," The First elder shook his head in disappointment while looking at the carefree elders who were excited and eager for the result of the n. "Huh? So, you are talking about the earlier thing," As soon as the tribe leader Qwerek heard those words, he understood what the first elder actually meant with his earlier question. Earlier, when they were in the critical situation, except for the first elder all the other elders behaved like an emotional hot-headed tribe member. ording to the Hawk tribe principles, this kind of behaviour should not be in any of the Hawk elders. So, when Qwerek and Cretual remembered their unstable behaviour, they could not help but sigh. "Tribe leader, don''t get me wrong here. I only want our tribe elders to know what to do in the critical situations instead of worrying," Thinking that Qwerek might get a wrong idea of his earlier words, the first elder tried to exin clearly. "I know¡­.Sigh," Qwerek agreed with the first elder and sighed as he knew he was the reason why they were like this. When they were selected as elders for the tribe, Qwerek closed one of his eyes and made them into the elders as they were in need of elders at the time. That doesn''t mean he allowed everyone to be an elder, he selected the ones with strongest battle prowess and with high cultivation. But the selected candidates were not given proper training after being selected and theyck some things likeplicated decision making and some other things. Since the tribe was in need for some elders, Qwerek closed his eyes and directly made them into elders. Also, he gave the elder position to the ones whom he trusted the most and had a good character and the most important thing was they don''t hesitate to die for their tribe. So, the first elder wanted their tribe elders to control their anxiousness and eagerness and decided to not divulge the result of the n to them yet. "For the next few days, I order you to make them learn those things. The Hawk tribe is developing and we need our elders to make their own wise decisions," After thinking for some time, Qwerek ordered the first elder to teach their tribe''s Elder qualities. "Previously, because of that fire crow tribe, we didn''t manage to teach them anything but it''s no problem. Teach them the way you were taught...Hehe," At the end of his sentence, Qwerek cunninglyughed. "Sure. It''s my honour," The first elder nodded his head and agreed after seeing the cunningugh on his tribe leader''s face. ''Poor fellows...I wonder how they will curse me when I start the training?'' Cretual looked at the distant elders who were continuously discussing something and shook his head. However, there was an excitement in his eyes that made him eager for the start of his training. ... Outside of the Hawk tribe, "Huh? What happened to you, red kitty?" Just as Ajax exited the Hawk tribe, he saw a red silhouette from the distance and with a nce he noticed it was the infernal spirit with red mes. It only took a few seconds to reach him. However, the red kitty in front of him was muchrger and powerful than before he asked it to travel the Shixato wilds. "Right! I forget, now I can have rank 5 contracted spirit beasts," Even before the red kitty could answer, Ajax remembered the reason and rted to him being elevated to the elitemander realm. "What happened? Where is ck kitty?" After knowing the reason for the change in the red kitty''s appearance he asked about the ck kitty. He felt that there was something urgent from the anxiousness he felt from the spirit contract with the red kitty; however, there was nothing wrong with the ck kitty as he sensed it was still alive and well. So, he was unable to find out the reason for its excitement and anxiousness. ''Roar roar,'' The red kitty roared at Ajax as though it was telling him something. "This spirit contract thing is also not helping inmunicating with it," Earlier the system said that with help of the spirit contract, he could understand its words. However, he was still not able to understand its words making him doubt the system''s judgement for the first time. Until now, although he might have cursed the system, he didn''t doubt the system''s judgement. However, for the first time, he felt there might be something wrong in the system''s notification. "Master, he is saying that he found some treasure," As Ajax was still finding it difficult to understand the red kitty''s words, from the side Snow slowly said to Ajax. "Huh? He?" Ajax was surprised to know that the red kitty was a ''He''. "Yes, Red kitty is the male and the ck kitty is a female," Snow said with a small smile on her face. "Oh" Ajax opened his mouth a little to say something but closed immediately as he didn''t know what to say. "Let''s go, master, looks like it was really a good treasure," When she saw the Ajax became silent, Snow shook her head and urged Ajax to follow the red kitty. "Okay. Let''s go," Ajax first looked at Snow and then looked at the red kitty which was jumping with excitement. Hearing Ajax''s words, the red kitty stopped jumping and rushed in the same direction from which he hade. Without wasting any time, Ajax also followed behind the red kitty along with Snow and Cerauno. He didn''t send Cerauno and Snow into his inner world as he wanted them to roam the five elemental world along with him and at the same time, it would help them adapt to their newly gained strength. ''I wonder, what did they find in this Shixato wilds that made the red kitty that excited,'' While following the red kitty, Ajax thought about what kind of treasure did his two infernal spirits had found. It didn''t take Ajax much time to reach the ce that red kitty and ck kitty had found some treasure. However, Ajax felt it was one of the most difficult paths he had taken as the ce that the red kitty had taken him was well hidden and it was not easy to find for any normal cultivators. ''Th..this is..," Ajax was shocked to see the scenery in front of him which made him unable toplete his sentence. Chapter 389: Extraction

389 Extraction

Seeing that many stones, Ajax was bbergasted and felt overwhelmed as he felt that he was in a dream. "Th...this is a spirit stone mine," It took Ajax a few seconds to recover from his surprise and carefully looked at the red stones in front of him. That''s right! The ce in front of Ajax was a spirit stone mine. To be exact it was a fire elemental spirit stone mine. A spirit stone mine was a ce where spirit stones were extracted and it would take years or decades or even centuries for a single spirit stone mine to form. This spirit stone mines would be formed when the essence of nature of any element was gathered or concentrated in a specific ce for a specific time. ''This looks like a low-level spirit stone mine that means it must have been formed in thest few years,'' Ajax picked one of the fire spirit stones and checked the purity of it before concluding that the mine was only formed a few years ago. The more years a spirit stone mine takes to form, then the spirit stone''s quality produced by that mine would also be increased along with it. If it takes decades to form a spirit stone mine then all the spirit stones in it would be medium-level spirit stones. Simrly, if it takes centuries, then there would be high-level spirit stones. ''With these many spirit stones, I can buy many things in the dimensional crevice,'' Ajax was excited as he started checking the size of the spirit stone mine. Even though he didn''t check the size of the spirit stone mine yet, he was able to guess, the mine should contain at least 10 million spirit stones, so he started thinking about ways to spend it. ''Adding this 10 million spirit stones to the previous 10 million spirit stones that the system has rewarded, I don''t need to worry about spirit stones for some time,'' Even though he had 20 million spirit stones, he felt it would onlyst him for only some time as he knew the prices of the items in the dimensional crevice was very high and since he decided to spend in the dimensional crevice, he thought it would onlyst him for some time. Nevertheless, he was not worried much about it as he knew how to earn the spirit stones bypleting the missions from the Mercenary guild or by selling his refined pills. "Why am I even thinking about it now? Let''s dig all the fire spirit stones, first," Ajax shook his head and summoned it, Bane, Nite, Dabrus and Volcanisfrom the inner world to extract the spirit stones from the spirit stone mine. Even though he could ask Raweth or Elder Qwerek to help him in extracting these spirit stones for him with their tribe members, he didn''t want others to know about it since one could not gauge a fellow cultivator''s greed. Nevertheless, he already had enough team to extract these spirit stones for him. Except for Necros, he decided to summon all the elemental spirits. "Greeting, summoning master," Soon, various types of elemental spirits appeared in front of Ajax and bowed to him. "Hello everyone, help me extract all the spirit stones from this spirit stone mine," Ajax didn''t even check their cultivations and ordered them to help him. Ajax wanted to go back to the Hawk tribe and before the tribe leader''s house was finishedpletely, so that he could go back to his refining pills mission. ''I need to finish refining the four other rank 1 pills by tomorrow; otherwise, it will be the mission failure,'' Ajax thought back to the series mission and wanted to quickly finish this extraction. Since he wanted to leave this spirit mine as soon as possible he didn''t waste any time. "Yes, summoning master. We willplete the extraction as soon as possible," When he heard Ajax''s serious words, all the elemental spirits knew their summoning master wanted them to finish the work quickly. So, they replied to Ajax and directly started extracting the spirit stones. Soon, every elemental spirit started using their skills that could be used for extracting the spirit stones from the mine. Volcanis used his basic fireball skill to clear the rock beside the spirit stones and casually picked the spirits. Although it seemed slow, in actuality he was very fast with his hands as though he was born to be a spirit stone extractor. His hands were very skilful and the way he used the fireball was also very good making Ajax think, ''I think, he can be a good mine worker.'' Nevertheless, he only thought about it jokingly and he doesn''t want one of his strongest elemental spirits to be mine worker. Next to him, Nite used his first skill ''Brute Strength'' which multiplies his strength by a factor of two. With that strength, he used his beast-like hand to extract the spirit stones from the walls of the spirit stone mine. As for Bane, the poison elemental spirit, he used his ''Poison Scythe'' along with the Scythe dao and carefully shed the rocks of the spirit stone mine and collected a bunch of spirit stones in a single attack and he continued to repeat the process. Among all the elemental spirits, the mining efficiency of Dabrus, the shadow elemental spirit was very less whenpared to others as he doesn''t have a suitable skill to extract more spirit stones in a single attack. Nevertheless, he tried his best to extract something as per Ajax''s order. If Dabrus was the least efficient among all the elemental spirits, it was the most efficient one as he was able to extract four times more than Volcanis and Bane. it directly used his skill ''Earth Clone'' and continuously created ''Sand Dunes'' and extracted thousands of spirit stones in a few minutes making Ajax bbergasted. ''If I have another 1 or 2 earth elemental spirits, this extraction process will bepleted in a few hours. Now I need at least 10 hours or even more,'' Ajax thought having earth time elemental spirits was best when extracting something and in the end, he sighed as he had to wait for 10 or more hours topletely extract this spirit stone mine. Nevertheless, he also started extracting the spirit stones, since one more additional hand would decrease the time taken toplete the process of extraction. Beside him, Snow also used her lightning attacks to help Ajax. Even though he said that there was no need for Sow to take this troublesome work, she was adamant on helping him. As for why Ajax had asked her to not work was not because she was a beautiful girl or whatever, he just wanted Cerauno and Snow to take some rest as they went through some serious events just a while ago. Simrly, Cerauno also started helping in the extraction. As every elemental spirit was busy with the extraction, Ajax slowly nced at the strengths of all his elemental spirits while extracting the spirit stones. Chapter 390: Insane rage

390 Insane rage

Nevertheless, they had reached the peak level 10 elite spirit soldier realm and just a single step away from entering the elemental spiritmander. From the time they had been contracted, Ajax made them cultivate in the mini dark abyss, which was the dark elemental paradise. With its help, both of his official elemental spirits had reached almost the elemental spiritmander in a very short time. As for his other elemental spirits like Volcanis and Bane, both of them had reached the elite spiritmander realm with the help of their own elemental paradises. "Looks like I should focus on it," Among his elemental spirits, it and Spirus were the oldest ones and less powerful than others who had joined himter than them. He didn''t worry about Spirus since he had awakened ''Daughter of the nature'', as long as she was in the nature, her cultivation would be progressed even when she doesn''t cultivate. So, all his worries were on it, his chubby elemental spirit which had not progressed as much as the other elemental spirits due tock of earth elemental resources or elemental paradise. In the end, Ajax had decided to focus on it''s cultivation in the future. ''Let''s check the new skills for my official elemental spirit,'' Soon, he looked back at his official elemental spirits, Nite and Dabrus and thought in his head. As soon as he thought, the information regarding his elemental spirits had appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Elemental spirit Name:- Nite Skills:- Brute strength (Level 2), Insane rage (level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Dabrus Skills:- Damage exchange (Level 2), Morale (level 1) He didn''t bother to check other information about his official elemental spirits because he already had a clear idea about them and only checked the skills. There was no surprise in the skills levels as they levelled up with each minor realm the elemental spirit achieve. After seeing that two system notification, he first focused on ''Insane rage'' ''Ding, Skill name:- Insane rage Skill description:- When this skill is activated, the elemental spirit doesn''t feel any pain and the more injured the elemental spirit was the higher its strength will be boosted until it loses consciousness. Note:- The amount of time depends on the elemental spirit''s concentration and willpower. "Huh? Good skill," Ajax felt it was a good skill as it was only Nite''s second skill and eagerly waited for Nite''s next breakthrough. After checking that skill, he checked Dabrus'' new skill which seemed interesting. ''Ding, Skill name:- Morale (Rare-type) Skill Description:- When this skill is activated by the elemental spirit, all the elemental spirits in the same team as him will receive a 20 percent increment in their fighting spirit. ''Huh? This skill looks weird,'' The first thing Ajax felt when he saw the ''Morale'' skill''s description, he felt it was a weird skill. But the Rare-type tag in the skill name made him think about the skill. "An increment in the fighting spirit of the elemental spirits? Let''s see how much it can help me," Ajax still didn''t get the exact estimate of the effects of the skill and decided to wait for an actual fight to see how much it would help him and his other elemental spirits. ''Ding, Only a few hours left to finish the first mission from the series missions. ''Ding, If the first mission is failed then the rewards will be cancelled. Just as Ajax finished checking the skills of his official elemental spirits, he received two system notifications with an alert symbol making Ajax pause his extraction. "What the heck! Isn''t it more than 12 hours left for the mission''s deadline?" Ajax calmed himself and asked the system for an exnation. ''Ding, The host has finished refining the first pill in a short time so that the system has decided to shorten the deadline and increase the rewards to motivate the host. "Huh? Increment in the rewards?" When he heard the system''s exnation, Ajax felt it was not a bad idea to shorten the deadline for the increment in the reward and thought for a moment before nodding it. Even though he knew he could not change the system''s decision, he was pretty much satisfied with the system''s offer and observed his surroundings. ''I just need a peaceful ce to refine the pills,'' He searched for a peaceful ce but he there was no such ce in the spirit stone mine and with the sounds from the extraction, it would not be helpful for Ajax in refining the pills. "Looks like I need to find a ce outside this spirit mine," Ajax didn''t think much beforeing to this conclusion. "Everyone, I need to refine some pills very urgently, so I am leaving for now," After making his decision, he briefly informed about his mission of refining pills before leaving with Dabrus and Snow. Since he would be refining the pills in some kind of open ce, he wanted someone to guard him whilepleting his mission and the best one was the Snow and Dabrus. Snow was one of his most powerful spirit beasts now and Dabrus was not much efficient in extracting the spirit stones, so he decided to bring him along with them. "Yes, summoning master," all the remaining elemental spirits replied to Ajax and resumed their mining of the low-level spirit stones. Although he could summon Twilight to guard him, it would attract the surrounding beings towards it due to itsrge size. So, the best thing was to let Dabrus and Snow guard him while he was refining the pills. Soon, he came out of the spirit stone mine that was simr to a hidden cave and observed the surroundings for a quiet ce to refine. After searching for a couple of minutes, Ajax and others were able to find a quiet ce near to the spirit stone mine which Ajax was satisfied with. The ce was small but it was peaceful and surrounded by trees and other small bushes. Ajax cleaned the ce a little before settling in the small open ce. As soon as he settled down, he didn''t waste any time before taking out the required ingredients for the next rank 1 pill recipe. However, he didn''t start refining immediately; instead, he took a deep breath and entered into meditation to adjust his thoughts. As Ajax was meditating, Snow and Dabrus looked at their summoning master for a second before taking two positions that were left and right to Ajax and stood with an alert expression on his face. Even though Dabrus was not as strong as Snow, he had his own method to fight other higher realm cultivators or spirit beasts. ''Phew...Now, let''s start the refining,'' Ajax released air and motivated himself with the refining. At the same time, his eyes were filled with excitement towards the second pill recipe. Chapter 391: Bone Restructuring Pills

391 Bone Restructuring Pills

Otherwise, he had to waste more time. That''s the reason he wanted to find a peaceful ce so that he could have the highest sess rate and finish the mission as soon as possible. ''Since blood cleansing pill recipe is over, next it will do this,'' Ajax opened Mason''s family alchemy book that contained many pill recipes and selected another easy pill recipe called Bone restructuring pill. When he started the mission, Ajax had already selected the five easy pill recipes and cross-checked for the ingredients that were given to him by the tribe leader Qwerek. So it didn''t take much time to take out the required ingredients from the space ring that contained the ingredients for refining rank 1 pills. Bone restructuring pills, as the name suggests, helps the consumer to restructure his bones and make them strong and powerful. However, it could only be consumed by the people below themander realm. In fact, most of the rank 1 pills were effective to the people below themander realm. Just like how blood cleansing pills help the beginner cultivators, these bone restructuring pills also help them to increase their chances of breaking their cultivation cap. Here, cultivation cap means, it''s a limit for a cultivator in his cultivation realm and when he reached that stage, he would not level up no matter how many resources or pills he used. Unless he gains a fortuitous encounter, he would not pass that stage. So, all the main families and sects would use these beginner-level pills that would have so much for the beginner cultivators or children. Although these two types of pills were very cheap in Mason''s province, they were very rare in the Zrochester province and what''s more, they were highly cost. So, when Ajax said he had his way of earning spirit stones, it was to sell his refined pills in the Zrochester province. ''Bone grass, Fire grass, Netherworld root,'' Just like the blood cleansing pill, the bone restructuring recipe also needed only three ingredients which were not very rare and they could be easily found in the Shixato wilds. While muttering the names of the ingredients, he spread all the ingredients in front of him in batches. ''Unlike the blood cleansing pill ingredients, these three ingredients needed three separated temperatures,'' Before starting his refining he was recalling all the knowledge he had gained from the system and the alchemy king''s handbook carefully. He doesn''t want to fail his refining by a single silly mistake, so he was being careful while refining this bone restructuring pill. ''All things are done. Now I will start the refining,'' Within no time, he stabilized the fire cauldron and took the ingredients for the bone restructuring pill,?one by one and carefully refined them as he separated the essences from them at different temperatures. "Phew...essence separation is done sessfully," After separating the three essences from the bone grass, fire grass and theher world root, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Next, he took a deep breath and carefully threw the three ingredients essences into the fire cauldron that was eagerly hovering in the mid-air in front of Ajax. ''Close'' As soon as the three ingredients essences were thrown, Ajax slowly muttered and the fire cauldron was closed by a lid. With this, 60 percent of the refining had been done but the next 40 percent of the refining was veryplicated whenpared to the initial 60 percent of the refining. Although theplications for the lower rank pills were less, they would increase as the rank of the pill refined increases. Because it requires one to be fully concentrated and needs to supply the required heat only. Even if it''s a little bit more or less than the required heat, then the refining would fail without a doubt. What''s more, Ajax wanted to finish the first mission from the series missions as soon as possible, so that he could observe the spirit stone mine with ease. That''s right. Even though it was only a low-level spirit stone mine, he wanted to check it and analyse its source of the fire elemental essence of nature. If he could find the source then he could use it to increase the strength of his fire elemental spirit and fire elemental spirit beasts. With that thought in his mind, he was fully focused on the fire cauldron in front of him and supplied the required heat to it. At times, he would increase the fire and some other times, he would decrease it. ''Ting'' The process continued for a few minutes before a ''Ting'' done came from the fire cauldron. However, Ajax didn''t show any expression on his face and slowly decreased the heat supply to the cauldron. ''Please...please...please,'' Before opening the lid to the fire cauldron, Ajax continuously muttered and hoped his refinement would seed. ''Th...this is ¡­,'' Ajax became surprised, speechless and many other expressions were going through his face as he could not believe in what he had just seen inside the fire cauldron. Inside the fire cauldron, there were 18 shining grey coloured pills that indicated they were all high-grade bone restructuring pills. Seeing the 18 bone restructuring pills in the fire cauldron, Ajax doesn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry. Generally, while refining, 12 pills weremon to be seen in the cauldron from a single sessful refinement and 15 pills could be said to a rare thing and there was also a myth that in the ancient age, many alchemists used to refine 18 pills in a single sessful refinement. So, this was a good thing; however, he had to refine another sessful pill refinement just for 2 pills. Since he had to refine a minimum of 20 pills per each pill recipe, now he had to wait for another sessful refinement for those 2 pills which made Ajax bitterly smile. Nevertheless, he was not worried much as this was still an easy pill recipe to refine whenpared to other pill recipes. ''I will take rest for a few minutes and stabilize my condition,'' After the first sessful pill refinement, he didn''t let his excitement and overconfidence consume him; instead, he waited for a few minutes to stabilize that sessful pill refinement thoughts and rxed before starting the next batch of pills refinement. Soon, he started his second pill refinement. Just like before, he was able to refine the three ingredients without much difficulty. "Boom" "What?" Before he could throw them into the fire cauldron, a small explosion urred as the fire cauldron exploded with a loud sound making the two guards, Snow and Dabrus hurriedly rush towards Ajax. Chapter 392: Golem Race

392 Golem Race

"Fine. I am fine," Ajax bitterly smiled as he replied Snow and slowly stood up from the ground. Hearing his words, Snow and Dabrus felt relief but still, they looked at their master with concern. "I am really fine. Go back to your ces and guard me. I will meditate for a second," After checking that there were no injuries to his spirit consciousness or other internal parts, Ajax asked Snow and Dabrus to go back to their ces. Since their master was adamant, without retorting they left to their ces to guard. However, once in a while they both checked on Ajax, who was now sitting in a meditative posture with his eyes closed. ''Why did the refinement fail?'' Ajax''s mind was still hazy from the previous pill refinement explosion and thought back to that time for a reason for his failure. ''That''s right. I felt heavy fluctuations from my inner world that made me lose my focus for a bit,'' Soon, he was able to find out the reason for his failure and rted it to the fluctuations he had sensed when he was throwing the essences of the three ingredients into the fire cauldron. Since the fluctuations came out all of a sudden that made his focus shift for a bit and the result was terrible. ''It''s good that there was no harm to my body from the earlier explosion; otherwise, I don''t know what would have happened to me,'' Ajax felt that he was lucky to escape the pill explosion with only a few simple scratches and bruises. Pill explosion was amon thing for an alchemist. In his life, he would and he should get past these pill explosions in his life to be a great alchemist. However, not all the alchemists were lucky to survive these pill explosions. Many got crippled and there were some people who had even lost their lives. Among all the other professions like cksmith, artificer, appraiser, array masters and many more, alchemy was one of the most dangerous professions that could cost thier lives. Moreover, it wasplicated and one needed heavy knowledge on every herbs, pill recipes etc. Nevertheless, it had its own benefits. If any average-level alchemist were to appear in the Zrochester province, he would be given the treatment of a sect elder and all the top powerful families and other sects would try to curry favour from them. It''s just like ''With great effort,es great reward''. ''What''s happening in the inner world?'' After calming him down from the pill explosion, he entered into his inner world in his spirit consciousness form. ''What is this thing?'' As soon as he entered the inner world, he saw a weird rock that waspletely brown in colour which made him frown his brows. ''Let me check it with the system,'' Since he was unable to find the clues of the rock in front of him, Ajax decided to use the system to know the details of the rock. ''Greetings Master,'' Just as he was about to use the system, the rock which stayed still until now had suddenly moved and taken a humanoid form as it greeted Ajax. "Huh? Master? Don''t tell me you are the new guardian?" Ajax was shocked by the rock man''s greeting. Nevertheless, he was able to find out who the rock man in front of him was. He was shocked that he didn''t expect that the new guardian he would be getting from the system forpleting the bonus mission was a rock man. Although he didn''t know the true use of the rock man in front of him, he felt disappointed for some unknown reason. "Yes master, I am the new guardian," the rock man that turned from a boulder bowed to Ajax as he answered Ajax''s question. "Ok," Ajax nodded his head and looked at the information of the rock man. ''Ding, Guardian Name:- Nameless Race:- Golem Works:- 1) He can make thend fertile with the essence of nature that was avable in the inner world. 2) He can also seal the fluctuations of the inner world from disturbing the host. Description:- A member of the golem race that has no attack power but has a great defence. "Golem race?" Ajax felt that where did the system get this ancient golem race member from. Golem race was a race that was entirely made up of rock or stone and their favourite hobby was to remain in specifd and make it fertile. However, ording to the knowledge Ajax had got from Elder boron, the Golem race became extinct around the same time as that of the great war between humans and demons took ce. Golem race people were used to be seen everywhere there wasnd and since they were peace-loving creatures, no one had any problem with them; instead, they were asked to settle in the areas of the top families to turn theirnds into fertile. However, no one knows the exact reason why they became extinct all of a sudden. The topic of their extinction was dominated by the great war between the humans and the demons. So, no one bothered about these peace-loving creatures. Although Ajax knew about the golem race, he had never seen them even in the scrolls. So he was not able to guess the identity of the rock man when he had first seen him. Nevertheless, Ajax''s previous disappointment had turned into happiness. As for his happiness was, among all the races he knew he loved Elves and Golems as they usually love peace and don''t participate in any kind of wars unless it was extremely necessary. ''Huh? He can stop the fluctuations from the inner world?'' Ajax already knew the first work of a golem race member but the second one was something new which he didn''t know. "If I had him a few minutes earlier, I would not have failed the pill refinement and the explosion would have never urred...sigh," After reading the second work of his new guardian, Ajax sighed as he bitterly smiled at his luck. ''Since it is over, then I should stop pondering over about it,'' Ajax tried not to think about the pill explosion as he didn''t suffer any major injuries and escaped with only light injuries and looked at the rock man before saying, "From now on I will call you, Gol." "Thank you, master, for naming me," the rock man was over the moon when he heard his new name from his master. ''Huh? Why is he that happy for just a simple name?'' Ajax frowned a bit when he saw the excited rock man in front of him but shook his head as he thought, "Let him be happy." Ajax was also happy with a golem being his inner world''s guardian. "By the way, where did those fluctuationse from?" After naming him, Ajax thought about the reason he had entered into the inner world and looked at his surroundings. Chapter 393: Improving the land

393 Improving thend

In the distance, he saw a purple feathered bird came out of the mini-dark abyss and stretched its wings that made Ajax''s already happy face be even more happy. The purple feathered bird was none other than the Netherworld Ice sparrow that had two elements in it, Ice and Dark elements. The Netherworld Ice Sparrow, just like other two birds, consumed the inheritance orb from Ajax and entered into seclusive cultivation. Just when he was about to throw the separated essences of the three ingredients, Sparrow woke up from her seclusive cultivation which nearly made him injured severely. The pill explosion caused by the refining rank 1 and rank 2 pills were not that dangerous to take one''s life; however, it could not be said the same for the refining of the high-level pills which contained more powerful energy in them that could make the refiner die. ''Since I got Gol now to stop the fluctuations from the inner world, I can refine the pills without any disturbance from the inner world,'' Ajax thought that it was a good reward now. Because in the future, he would be refining high-level pills and if by any chance something that happened earlier happens once again, then he could say his goodbye to this world. ''Screech'' Just like how Ajax saw the Ice Sparrow, the Ice Sparrow also saw him and screeched with excitement before flying towards him. ''Hahaha'' Seeing the excited Ice Sparrow, Ajax heartilygged and looked at the rock man who had calmed down a little in his excitement. "You go and increase the fertility over there," After that, Ajax pointed his finger at the ce where he had nted many high-level ingredients and asked Gol to make thatnd fertile. Ajax decided to use Gol to his best, so he ordered him to make thend where he had sown the seeds that he got from the never-returning cave. "Yes master, I will make thisnd as rich and as fertile as possible," Since making thend fertile was the favourite work of the golem race members, Gol was excited and thanked Ajax before rushing to the area that Ajax had pointed to. "You need to take good care of my herb garden while you are making thatnd fertile. Did you understand?" Ajax was also excited seeing the excitedly rushing rock man and gave him a few more instructions to him. Although Gol looked like he was rushing; in fact he was very slow. Golem race membersck the movement speed and even when they rush, they would only have a normal walking speed. It took a couple of minutes for Gol to enter into the herb garden which was named by Ajax just a few minutes back and settled in the middle of the garden before turning back into the stone. "Huh?" ''Ding, The host need not worry, the area surrounding the golem will automatically be fertile with time. ''Okay'' To Ajax''s surprise, the system gave him an answer without him asking it. ''I want to see how he does thend fertile,'' Nevertheless, Ajax was curious and wanted to find the process of turningnd into a rich fertilend. So, he connected with his inner world to get every microscopic view in the inner world. As soon as he became one with the inner world, he felt like a God observing his world. Next, he shifted all his focus to the Golem. Around the brown rock golem, the essence of nature in the air was slowly being absorbed by him. Although the speed it was absorbing was very less, it was absorbed by his whole body, unlike any other beings that could only absorb the essence of nature by their spirit consciousness whichpensated theck of absorption speed of the golem and matched him with an average cultivator. ''What a cool technique,'' Even though Ajax knew about this beforehand, he felt it was good when he looked at it with his eyes. He nodded his head at that technique and continued looking at the process of makingnd fertile. After absorbing the essence of nature, some specks of small stones fell from his body. ''These are filled with the rich essence of nature,'' Before one of the small stones that were barely visible to him even when he had connected with the inner world, Ajax had observed it and felt a rich essence of nature from each of those specks of small stones. When he felt that, he was shocked by the amount of rich essence of nature by a small dust particle that was barely visible to the normal eye. ''If the size of the speck of dust is somewhat big, then it could be sold for at least for a million spirit stones,'' Ajax estimated the price of that dust particle released by his new guardian and felt very happy. His observation didn''t end there but he continued to observe the fallen dust particles on the ground that were sunk deeper into the ground. ''So, by making thend fertile means adding some rich soil into the ground, that''s it?'' Ajax felt that process was very easy; however, he knew that not everyone could do what the golem race people could do. There was not only the rich essence of nature but some other energy that helps the nts to grow faster which was still a secret for all people about the secret technique of the golem race. Nheless, Ajax didn''t care about the technique as he now had the golem race member under him. After observing the entire process, Ajax separated his spirit consciousness with the inner world and opened his eyes. ''Thud'' As soon as he opened his eyes, a purple silhouette mmed into him and made him fall onto the ground. The purple featured bird didn''t give Ajax any time to dodge and started poking him with its sharp beak. "Stop it, Sparrow," Ajax knew that it was his contracted spirit beast, the Netherworld Ice Sparrow. So, he asked her to stop nudging him with its sharp beak. ''Screech'' Hearing Ajax''s words, the Ice Sparrow screeched before flying away from Ajax and started hovering about his head in circles as though it was expressing that it was very happy. "These spirit beasts are really wild in expressing their joy," Ajax knew he could not stop his contacted spirit beast from feeling joy and if he does that he would hate himself for doing that. However, the problem was while they expressed their joy, they would not suppress their newly achieved strength and hit him with full force. Ajax stood up from the ground and looked at the Ice sparrow above his head and shook it. ''Let''s see, what has she learned with the inheritance orb?'' He focused his eyes on the Ice sparrow in the air and soon the system notification appeared in front of him. Chapter 394: Netherworlds Queen

394 Netherworld''s Queen

To him, all the elemental spirits and the spirit beasts were like a family to him, so he was never truly angry with any of his elemental spirits or spirit beasts. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Netherworld Ice Sparrow Element:- Ice/Dark Cultivation:- mid-level rank 4 Bloodline:- Ice sparrow empress (100% purity) Skills:- Nether w, Icy feather shot, Frost, Nightmare Special skill:- Netherworld''s Queen. Soon, the system notification appeared in front of Ajax with all the details of the Ice sparrow on it. ''Cultivation is not bad,'' Ajax slowly checked the details on the holographic screen. The reason he said that was because, among the three members who had received the inheritance orbs from him, Sparrow was the one with the lowest cultivation. Raweth had already reached the general realm which was equivalent to the rank 5 strength for the spirit beasts. Simrly, Snow had recently reached the same general realm leaving the ice sparrow behind them in terms of their strength. "Don''t worry, I will make you catch up to them in the least possible time," when he said about the cultivation, the flying sparrownded in front of him and acted pitifully making Ajax shook his head and he consoled her and at the same time promised her to make his powerful. As soon as it heard Ajax''s words, the Ice sparrow once again mmed into his embrace but with much less force now making Ajax heave sigh of relief. ''Okay okay. Calm down. Let me check your other skills,'' Ajax rubbed the purple coloured feathers which were a lot denser than the previous time he had seen her. After absorbing the inheritance orb, the size of the ice sparrow had decreased a little and presently she was less than Ajax''s height. However, the purple colour on her feathers was much denser with ck colour on the tail feathers and on her small head which made it give an eerie look. ''100 percent purity in the bloodline, good,'' It was not a surprise for him as he already knew that afterpletely absorbing the inheritance orb, all his spirit beasts had gained 100 percent purity in their respective bloodlines. "New skills. Yes, this is what I am waiting for," The reason Ajax checked the Ice Sparrow''s information was to check the new skills. So, when he saw the new skills?he was excited and focused his eyes on those skills. As soon as he focused, the skill name and its description appeared in front of Ajax. ''Ding, Skill name:- Nightmare (active) "Huh? it''s a weird skill," Ajax felt this skill was weird and cruel for the Ice Sparrow as it looked like a demonic skill. ''Since she is using her own blood then it''s not demonic, right?''?Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the skill and shifted his attention to the next section that was ''Special skill''. He didn''t bother to check the information on other skills as he already had the rough idea about every other skill as they were old skills anyway. ''Ding, Special skill:- Netherworld''s queen (active) Skill description:- When this special skill is activated, the beings from theherworld and the beings that haveherworld''s original bloodlines will cower in front of her for a time period of 30 minutes. Note:- In other words. She will be the queen of allherworld people until the skill wears off. Cooldown:- 24 hours. "So, all the three spirit beasts have got something that can dominate other beings," Ajax was very happy to see another skill that could dominate other beings just like Snow and Raweth. Snow had the skill that could suppress all the spirit birds and there was a chance that it could tame them. Simrly, Raweth could suppress many of the fire elemental beings and make them work for him. ''My army will be more and more if my contracted spirit beasts continue to awaken these types of skills,'' Ajax felt confused as to why he was getting all these types of skills. ''What are Heavens up to?'' He knew that the awakening of these skills had nothing to do with the system. So, he shifted the reason to the Heavens. Nevertheless, he looked for the time when he could summon all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts without any worry. "Huh? Yes, I totally forgot about this thing," While thinking about his future, Ajax suddenly remembered something and looked at the Ice Sparrow, who is still his embrace and asked her, "Sparrow did you get any re-cultivation technique to transform into humanoid form?" This was one of the most curious questions in his mind and quickly asked about the re-cultivation technique. When the Ice Sparrow heard Ajax''s words, she once again became sad as though she didn''t get the technique from the inheritance orb. Not all inheritance orbs were like the Lightning dragon hawk emperor''s inheritance orb which contained his own re-cultivation technique in it which helped Snow in gaining a simr type of evolved artifact. ''There might be another thing in the inheritance orb absorbed by Sparrow,'' However, Ajax guessed that if the inheritance orb absorbed by the Ice Sparrow didn''t have a re-cultivation technique, then it would have another thing that was simrly valuable in that. ''Don''t worry. I will help you get that re-cultivation technique from your tribe,'' Ajax tried to console her but who knows she would be even sadder when Ajax mentioned her tribe. The Ice Sparrow didn''t have much ties with the Netherworld''s Ice sparrow tribe after what had happened to her when she was not able to win in the three tribes contest. Every tribe member scolded her for not winning the contest and what''s more, they even insulted her dead parents who were just normal unevolved Ice sparrows. Although she was used to their scolding, she was unable to endure when they started insulting her parents. So, she went to look for the tribe leader and other elders for a constion. However, she didn''t expect that they would also do the same thing and insult her parents and scolded her which made herst bit of rtion to the tribe were cut off. After that, she didn''t even go back to her resident and directly moved out of the tribe and attacked by her fellow tribe members who wereter killed by Ajax. That was the greatest incident that had ever happened to the Ice sparrow because she had met someone who didn''t care about whether she was powerful or weaker; instead, he even said he would help her be powerful. As expected, a few days after she formed a spirit contract with him, she was offered a Netherworld Ice sparrow empress inheritance orb that made her strength increase from thete rank 3 to mid-level rank 4 along with her bloodline purity increased to 100 percent. "Don''t be sad. I will help punish all the Ice sparrow members once I be strong," Ajax felt bad thinking back to her past and consoled her. Chapter 395: Beauty Pills

395 Beauty Pills

''You tried your best in the three-tribe contest. Don''t let their words break you down,'' Ajax caressed the purple feathers and continued to console her. What Ajax said was true as he watched Sparrow''s fight in the three tribes contest, in which she had tried her best; however, the other two participants were a little more powerful than her that made her lose the contest. It took Ajax a while to finally make Sparrow normal and return her to the mini-dark abyss to cultivate. Since he had to refine the pills now he didn''t summon her out; otherwise, he would have let her fly outside. After sending her into the elemental paradise, he checked his other spirit beasts, elemental paradises and other things in the inner world. However, he didn''t waste much time with it and after going through a quick survey around his inner world, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. When he was in the Silver Orphanage, he had never expected that he would have these many friends and resources and felt that he had to take good care of everyone. ''Still, three batches left. I hope my next refining will be sessful,'' Soon, he came out of his inner world and looked at the three batches of Bone restructuring pill ingredients in front of him while muttering to himself. Initially, he took out five batches of ingredients in which one was sessful whereas another one was a failure that resulted in the pill explosion due to the fluctuations from the inner world. So, there were still three batches of ingredients for the bone restructuring pills. Without wasting any time, he repeated the process of separating the essences from the ingredients at different temperatures and threw them into the cauldron that was made up of fire. Without any surprise, the pill refinement this time was a sess and just like before he got another 18 high-grade pills from the refinement making him excited. ''Finally, 2 pill recipes down,'' He heaved a sigh of relief and kept the remaining two batches of ingredients into his space ring. "For my third pill recipe, I will refine the beauty pills" Ajax took a deep breath and selected the next rank 1 pill recipe and took out five batches of ingredients from the space rings and ced them in front of him. Beauty pills were themon type of pill even in the Zorchester province as it was quite famous for its cheap rate and became popr in a very short time. They were used by both males and females. Nheless, these pills were mostly used by non-cultivators. As for cultivators, only low-level ones who don''t have any hope in reaching the higher realms would use these pills to maintain their beauty. The ingredients were Ice rue, small love oregano, Eklo leaf. "Let''s start now," By now Ajax had got a grip on the rank 1 pills and it didn''t take much time for him toplete the two sessful refinements back to back without any trouble. However, the pills he had got from the two refinements were only 15 pills per each batch. Nevertheless, Ajax was satisfied with his 100 percent sessful refinements for this pill. Like always, he stored the refined pills into small ss bottles that were given to him by the Elder Qwerek along with the ingredients. Along with that, he also stored the remaining batches of ingredients into the space ring. "I should take some rest before refining another pill refinement," Even with his previous two sessful refinements, Ajax still remained cool-headed and decided to take some rest for a few minutes. Since the two pill refinements were sessful back to back that doesn''t mean he could refine the pills continuously. If he wants to refine the same pills, then it was not a problem; however, he was refining a new pill. So, he decided to let his mind calm down a little and let him revise what he had learned from the previous refinements. Snow and Dabrus continued to stand guard and didn''t allow any other spirit beasts to disturb Ajax while he was refining and meditating. "To more pill recipes to go," After a few minutes, he opened his eyes that gave off a bright light as though he had been enlightened with something. ''Ding, Only 30 minutes are left of the deadline of the mission 1 of the series mission. Please be quick. Just as he was about to look for his next recipe to refine, he got the system notification that made him puzzled but he was not worried much about the time. Beforeing to this ce, the system, had said he had only a few hours left for thepletion of this mission; however, it''s been around one or so hour since then and now the system was saying that only 30 minutes were left for thepletion of the mission. Even though he was not worried, he was irritated by the system''s continuous reduction in the deadline which made him think that the system was eager for him toplete the mission as soon as possible. "Whatever, as long as the reward is good and the mission seems possible, I don''t mind," Ajax casually shrugged his shoulders. ''Ding, The system thanks the host for his understanding. ''Ding, Increasing the quality of all the rewards from the future mission by a level. "Huh? System, are you ok? What happened to you?" Ajax thought there was something wrong with the system today as the system was never that generous in increasing the quality of the rewards and asked the system. ''Ding, If the host doesn''t want the increment in the quality of the rewards, then the system will dly cancel it. ''Ding, Do you want it or not? In reply to his questions, the system sent two system notifications that made Ajax jaws drop and startedughing. "I know, nothing will happen to you. You are always the same, old, cold system," Whileughing, Ajax said to the system and eventually agreed to the increment in the quality of the rewards from the future missions. ''Who doesn''t want some extra rewards for the same work he will do?'' Ajax thought in his head and stoppedughing before bing serious. It''s like how Ajax thought. Since he wouldplete the missions issued by the system, he doesn''t mind getting extra rewards or higher quality items as the reward. So, he agreed without much hesitation. ''If the mission is impossible and I don''t have sufficient confidence, then I will simply ignore the mission,'' Ajax muttered to himself and looked at thest two pill recipes in Mason''s family alchemy handbook. "Since the time is less, I will simply refine the level break pellets as my fourth rank 1 pill recipe," Thest two pill recipes needed four and five ingredients respectively, so he felt that it''s better to refine the level breaking pellets. Chapter 396: Last rank 1 pill recipe

396 Last rank 1 pill recipe

It only required three types of ingredients and it was easy for Ajax as he had continuously refined those level-breaking pills for more than 200 times back then. Since the time was less now, he decided to use this rank 1 pills to fill one spot in the five rank 1 pills for the sake ofpleting the mission quickly. Soon, he took out the two batches of three ingredients from the space ring. From this, one could understand how confident he was in refining the level breaking pills. The three ingredients were Lake moss, Ruby grass and Elephant ry. "I can do it," Before starting the refinement he motivated himself and took a deep breath and started refining the first batch of pills. ''Ting'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax toplete the refinement and slowly opened the lid of the fire cauldron. "Woah" He waspletely shocked by what he had seen inside the fire cauldron and felt it was unbelievable. The reason he felt like that was because what he had seen inside the cauldron was 21 perfectly small shining pearl-like pills. ording to Ajax, in the historical records that he had learned from the Elder Boron, there was no one who had refined 21 pills in a single sessful refinement. So, he still felt it was not real and slowly controlled the fire to make the fire cauldron disappear leaving behind the 21 pills. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for refining the highest number of pills refined in a single batch and the title ''Alchemy Maniac'' has unlocked another effect. ''Ding, To know what the effect is,plete the mission 1 of the series mission first. ''Ding, But don''t think there are not others who have refined 21 pills in a single batch in history. As he was still feeling it was a dream, he had received some system notifications that congratted, rewarded and warned him. "Huh? A new effect for my alchemy maniac title?" Ajax''s motivation toplete the mission 1 of the series mission received another boost when he saw the system notification. Alchemy maniac was the title awarded to him by the system when he hadpleted the 100 sessful refinements of the level-breaking pills. Because of that little, his sess rate in refining had been increased and he was now eager to find out the new effect of that title which will be only unlocked after hepletes this mission. This thought made him increase his interest in the field of alchemy and decided to focus more on Alchemy along with the other missions which would give energy orbs for levelling up his cultivation. "Phew, it was a good thing I was able to refine 21 pills. If it was 18 pills I have to waste another 5 minutes to refine another batch for that 2 pills," Ajax felt happy and immediately stored the pills and extra batch of ingredients before taking out the final rank 1 pill recipe. ''With this, I can finallyplete my mission 1,'' He carefully studied the pill recipe and techniques for it. For the mission 1 of the series missions, he had to refine 5 types of rank 1 pills and he had nowpleted the 4 types of rank 1 pills and left with the final pill. So, he was excited but he suppressed his excitement and carefully took out the required ingredients for his final rank 1 pill recipe. ''Low-level healing pill recipe,'' He looked at the recipe that needed four ingredients and quickly searched his space ring for them. Low-level healing pills were the basic healing pills that could be used to heal light injuries or could also be used as first-aid pills that could stop intense bleeding. But it could not heal the injuriespletely. After searching for a minute, he carefully took out four batches of ingredients assuming that he would at least have a 50 percent sess rate. Even though he had effects from the title and the fire technique, sometimes the pills could not be formed. So, he took out two more additional batches and ced them in front of him. ''Rx,''?Ajax muttered that word and took a deep breath before releasing it. Next, he adjusted his condition and slowly started using the basic alchemy fire technique. As soon as he used that, fire came out from both of his hands and slowly formed a fire cauldron which shook a little before bing a real cauldron that looked sturdy. ''Mage leaves, Pearl celery, Water rosemary and the main ingredient low-level life grass,'' He muttered each ingredient and separated the essence from them at different temperatures. After refining the rank 1 pills for hundreds of times, the separation of the essences from the rank 1 ingredients had be an easy thing for him and even if he was careless for a second, the separation of the essences from the rank 1 ingredients would not go wrong. Nheless, he was not a fool to be careless while refining and cause a pill explosion which might harm his life. ''First mix the essence of the water rosemary and pearl celery then add the essence of?Mage leaves and finally close the lid of the fire cauldron after adding the essence of the main ingredient,'' Ajax muttered the process and technique he had gained from all the sources and followed it and closed the lid of the fire cauldron. After closing the fire cauldron, as usual, he supplied the required heat to the hovering fire cauldron. ''Looks like everything is going smooth,'' Ajax felt this pill refinement was almost sessful. ''Boom'' Just as he thought about his pill refinement, the fire cauldron in the mid-air sted all of a sudden. However, Ajax was very careful this time and covered his entire body with the essence of the nature shield that protected him from the pill explosion. Although he barely covered himself with the protectiveyer, he was still fine as the pill explosion of a rank 1 pill was that serious. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to take a risk with the pill explosions and tried to shield himself with the essence of nature. ''Cough cough'' There was not even a scratch on his but the smoke from the pill explosion made him cough a little. "Master," "Summoning master," "I am fine. Don''t worry. Just continue to guard," Snow and Dabrus were ready to rush towards him to help; however, he stopped them and asked them not to worry about him. Hearing his orders, both of them looked at each other and stopped moving and continued to guard their ces. ''Where did I go wrong this time?'' Ajax was satisfied with his subordinates and began to think about the reason for his failure. Chapter 397: Mission 1 completed

397 Mission 1pleted

''Since I mix the essence of the ingredients at the wrong time?'' This was the only ce where Ajax thought he would go wrong and starting analyzing the properties of those herbs. ''That''s right! How can I forget about this thing,'' After pondering for a few minutes he had finally found the reason where the pill refinement had gone. ''The Mage leaves contain the essence of nature that was almost simr to a rank 2 ingredient, so that control that I have to use only half the separated essence of the ingredient,'' Ajax smiled a little as he felt that learning alchemy is more and more interesting. With each failure, he was learning something new that made him feel good. Since Ajax was thirsty for the knowledge from his childhood, alchemy was a tailor-made profession for him that requires learning continuously even in the most basic things. ''Let''s do it right this time,'' Ajax was not injured even a bit from the earlier pill explosion due to his carefulness. So, he was ready for the next pill refinement. ''Maybe I am bing more and more like an alchemy maniac, haha,'' Ajaxughed a little as he started separating the essences from the ingredients. He hands controlled the fire skillfully as he was used to separating the essences from the ingredients and mix the essences at an appropriate time before closing the lid of the fire cauldron. ''Ting'' Soon, he got the sound from the fire cauldron which indicated that the pill refinement waspleted. ''Remain calm, the fire cauldron is not going anywhere,'' Ajax calmed himself and slowly dispersed the cauldron that was formed from the fire. Soon the fire cauldron disappeared leaving behind the 18 green coloured shining pills in his hands. ''Phew...finally it''s a sessful one. Even though there are only 18 pills, it''s a good thing to refine 18 pills,'' he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the 18 green-coloured pills in his hands. Although the refinement this time didn''t give him 21 pills, he was satisfied with the 18 pills, since it was also a rare thing to refine 18 pills in a single refinement. If any alchemist hears Ajax''s words, then they would kill him even at the cost of their lives. Because even in the other provinces, it was a rare thing for an alchemist to refine 15 pills in a single refinement and not to mention he was able to refine 18 pills per a single refinement recently. After keeping the 18 low-level healing pills into a small ss bottle, the first thing Ajax did was to check the time. ''Ding, Remaining time:- 11 minutes So, without wasting time, he adjusted his spirit consciousness which still contained more than half of the essence of nature in it. Soon, he started refining the next refinement just like the previous one and he was focusing more whenpared to the previous time as he was in a lot of stress. He had to remain focused because if he failed the pill refinement this time, he would definitely fail the mission and his reward to be the rank 4 alchemy master would be dyed. One second after another, time passed on and soon 5 minutes were passed in a blink of an eye and Ajax hadpleted separating the essence from the ingredients and thrown them into the fire cauldron at an appropriate time and maintained the continuous heat supply. At one time, he would increase the heat supply and at another time he would decrease the heat flow. All this process was done with his eyes closed and he was using his senses to manage the heat supply. ''Ting'' After another 3 minutes, he finally heard the sound from the fire cauldron which made him open his eyes and heave a sigh of relief. From the energy fluctuations from the fire cauldron, he was confident that the pill refinement was a sess but he didn''t let his heartbeat raise and suppressed all the emotions and slowly made the fire disperse. Soon the fire turned into the essence of nature and returned into Ajax''s body leaving behind 18 green-coloured pills in his hands. "Yes," As soon as he saw the pills he immediately stood up from the ground and shouted at the sky expressing all his pent up emotions which he had suppressed all this while. "Yes, I did it. I did it," He didn''t stop there but continued to shout at the sky making Snow and Dabrus worried. ''What happened to the master? Why is he behaving like a maniac all of a sudden?'' Snow asked Dabrus in the voice transmission while looking at Ajax with a concerned look. ''I don''t know,'' Dabrus, who was also observing Ajax from a while, shook his head and replied to Snow in the same voice transmission. "Master, what happened to you? Are you okay?" Snow slowly walked towards Ajax and asked him. "Huh?" Only now did Ajax realise that he was behaving like a maniac in front of his subordinates and stopped shouting. "No, nothing happened. I was just excited with the sessful pill refinement," Ajax exined to Snow with an embarrassed look on his face. "Oh, it''s good then. I was worried that you were possessed by some kind of old demon," Snow covered her mouth as she smiled making Ajax even more embarrassed. "Okay okay," Ajax hurriedly sat in the meditative posture to escape this embarrassing situation and observed Snow with his left eyes slowly. ''Phew¡­ she left,'' he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw she had moved away to guard to her original ce. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission 1 of the series mission. ''Ding, Unsealed the knowledge of the rank 2 alchemy master in the host''s mind. ''Ding, Additional reward:- A monster peach?is sent to the host''s inventory (Losses its effect in 10 days). "What? The additional reward is a monster peach?" Ajax was excited with the additional reward from mission 1 of the series mission. Monster peach was a fruit that could be consumed by the general realm or higher realm cultivators to make a breakthrough from a single minor realm to a single major realm depending on the constitution and the strength of the consumer. This was not the first time he got the monster peach, so Ajax didn''t bother to check its information. Last time, he got the monster peach he decided to give it to Captain Edmond since the peach would lose its effectiveness in one day. However, now the system said that the effect of the monster peach would be lost in 10 days which gave Ajax enough time to decide what he had to do with it. Chapter 398: New effec

398 New effec

Ajax thought in his head for a moment but decided to think about itter. Since Ajax was still an elitemander realm cultivator, he could not use the monster peach yet. So, it would be given to either Snow or Raweth. ''I think, its best to wait until the 10th day, and decide whom should I give it to,'' However, Ajax suppressed his urge to use it on Snow for now and decided to wait for thest day before giving it to the suitable subordinate. "Finally, the mission 1 of the three series mission ispleted," After checking the rewards, Ajax stood up from the ground and stretched his body before heaving a sigh of relief. ''Aarghh'' Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, Ajax suddenly felt that his mind was filled with some foreign information that was flooding continuously which made him cry in pain. "Master, are you okay?" This time, Snow and Dabrus immediately rushed to Ajax when they saw their master clutching his head and groaned. ''Huh? Is it over?'' However, Ajax was not in the mood to stop them or reply to them as he felt that pain disappear all of a sudden. The pain onlysted for a few seconds before it disappeared into thin air along with the flooding information into his head that stopped all of a sudden. "I am fine. Let''s go and meet up with others. I think the extraction of the spirit stones must have beenpleted by a quarter percent," After standing up from the ground, he replied to his subordinates in a cool tone making their worry disappear and asked them to move back to their newly found spirit stone mine. With the time he had left from the spirit stone mine, Ajax roughly estimated that at least 25 percent of the spirit stones must have been extracted by his elemental spirits. Just thinking about it made him smile uncontrobly. "Yes, master," Since their master was still fine and replied in such a cool tone, Snow and Dabrus nodded their heads and followed Ajax back to the spirit stone mine. ''Ding, All the newly entered data about rank 2 alchemy master has been now stabilized. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a rank 2 alchemy master. As Ajax and his two subordinates were walking towards the spirit stone mine, Ajax had got two system notifications that made him stop for a second. ''So, it''s just like I thought, it is the rank 2 alchemy master knowledge that is unsealed and entered into my mind,'' After stopping, Ajax nodded his head and checked the knowledge about the rank 2 alchemy master, which was just unsealed a little back. Ajax already knew that the foreign knowledge that made him cry in pain was none other than the reward from the mission 1 of the series missions. ''As expected, this is the knowledge about the rank 2 alchemy master,'' Ajax nodded his head as cross-checked the knowledge he had just gained with the alchemy king''s basic alchemy book. ''Although I have ess to many techniques and knowledge to various herbs, that doesn''t make me a full-fledged rank 2 alchemy master,'' After crossing the knowledge, he shook his head while smilingly thought in his head. That''s right. Even though he had the knowledge of a rank 2 alchemy master now that doesn''t mean he can refine the pills straightway. What he had to do now was to practice some rank 2 pill recipes and refine some rank 2 pills and put the knowledge in his mind to some use, then he could be considered as a full-fledged rank 2 alchemy master which was already known by Ajax. After checking those notifications, Ajax and his subordinates started moving once again. However, before they could even take a few steps, Ajax once again received a system notification. ''Ding, A new mission in the series missions has been generated. Please check the Quest tab for more details. This time, he didn''t stop and continued moving in the direction of the spirit stone mine and at the same time, he opened the quest tab to check the second mission from the series missions. ''Ding, Series mission 2/3 Mission name:- Taking the next step in the true journey of alchemy. Target:- Sessfully refine rank 2 pills three times without failing Progress:- 0/3 Reward:- Unseal the knowledge of the rank 3 alchemy master. Time limit:- 2 days Note:- The time limit might be reduced by the host''s pill refinements "Just as I expected," When he saw the second mission in the quest tab, Ajax smiled a little as he thought he was getting better in understanding the system more. Since I have to refine only a single type of pills, I think, I canplete this mission in two days,'' Unlike the previous mission, which required him to refine five types of rank 1 pills, Ajax felt that this mission was better than that. ording to Ajax, refining a single type of pill continuously could increase the sess rate and the three sessful pill refinements were way better than refining five types of rank 1 pills. ''I will start this mission after I go back to the hawk tribe,'' Although it was peaceful here, Ajax doesn''t want to refine in the wild unless it was very urgent. So he decided to go to the Hawk tribe before starting the second mission from the series mission. He thought that the reconstruction of the tribe leader''s house would beplete in the next few hours, so as soon as he finished his extraction of the spirit stones, he would go straight to the hawk tribe andplete his series mission and be the rank 4 alchemy master. As for any other matter, that could wait until he bes rank 4 alchemy master. "By the way, I still need to check the new effect from my title ''Alchemy Maniac''," After closing the quest tab, he thought about the earlier system notification that mentioned ''Alchemy maniac'' getting a new effect. So he thought of checking that new effect. ''Ding, Title:- Alchemy Maniac Description:- One who refines pills like a crazy person and doesn''t know when to stop. Uses:- 1) Increases the pills sess rate refined by 50 percent and is limited to rank 1 pills. 2) Increases the pills sess rate refined by 25 percent and is limited to rank 2 pills. "This effects¡­," Ajax becamepletely speechless when he saw the new effect and the change in the first effect of his alchemy maniac title. The first effect was changed from the 25 pill refinement sess rate to 50 percent. And if it were to be added by the effect of the basic alchemy fire technique, then his sess rate in refining the rank 1 pills would be 100 percent. ''So, now I can refine the rank 1 pills without any fail?'' Ajax was still unable to believe whether what he thought was real or not. To his surprise, the system sent a system notification to rify his doubt which made him believe it was real. Chapter 399: Fastening the extraction

399 Fastening the extraction

Even though the host has reached 100 percent sess rate in refining the rank 1 pills, he needs to focus while refining; otherwise, the pill refinement of rank 1 pills still fails. ''Yeah. I will remain focused when refining. So, don''t worry system,'' Ajax replied to the system and nodded his head in understanding what the system had said. ''The new effect is just like the old first effect. With 50 percent from the basic alchemy refining technique and 25 percent from this, it has reached the 75 percent which is pretty good,'' After checking the first effect, he slowly nced at the second effect and became very excited. Since he had to refine three rank 2 pill refinements back to back without fail, he needed his sess rate in refining the rank 2 pills should be as high as possible. ''Let''s see how this 75 percent sess rate will help in the second mission of the series mission,'' Ajax stopped thinking much and decided to find out about it when he started refining. ''Clink'' ''ck'' Soon, they reached the spirit stone mine and heard the sounds of mininging from it. He quickly entered the spirit stone mine only to see arge pile of spirit stones in the middle of the cave. After everyone extracted the spirit stones, they would ce them in the middle and they made it into arge pill after a few hours. "No need to greet me. Continue the extraction," Although he seemed cruel in making all his elemental spirits work, he wanted toplete the extraction of the spirit stones as soon as possible and leave to the Hawk tribe. Just as they were about to stop and greet their master, all the elemental spirits heard their master''s words and continued to mine the spirit stones. While his elemental spirits were working as miners, he went to therge pile of red spirit stones and ced his hands on them. ''Go to inventory,'' As soon as he ced his hands and muttered, therge pile of spirit stones started disappearing one by one at an incredible speed and within a few minutes the mountain of spirit stones had disappeared. ''Phew¡­,'' Even Ajax felt tired while absorbing all the spirit stones into his inventory. Just after thest one of the spirit stones was absorbed into his inventory, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''I think, this mountain must have contained at least 2.5 million spirit stones,'' Ajax was very eager to know how many spirit stones he had absorbed just now and immediately opened his inventory to check the number of the spirit stones. ''Ding, Low-level spirit stones X 3 million ''Woah! This is more than I expected,'' Ajax was surprised by the number of spirit stones in his inventory and felt eager to extract more spirit stones thinking that there must be more than 10 million spirit stones in the spirit stone mine. Previously, he only summoned his elemental spirits to extract the spirit stones because humanoid beings were the best when ites to extracting the spirit stones; however, now he wanted to wrap this extraction thing as soon as possible and didn''t want to dy it any longer. As soon as he summoned the contracted spirit beasts from the inner world, ck kitty and Red kitty who was ying outside the spirit stone mine came into the cave and stood in front of Ajax along with the other spirit beasts. At present, in front of Ajax, there were more than half a dozen spirit beasts standing there and waiting for Ajax''s orders. They were four rank 5 spirit beasts, ck yetis, ck and Red med infernal spirits and twin-tailed lynx. These were thetest spirit beasts he had formed a contract with aftering to the five elemental world. "Huh? All of them reached rank 5?" Earlier, when he saw the red kitty outside of the Hawk tribe, he noticed that his strength had reached rank 5 and when he reached the spirit stone mine and saw the ck kitty, she also reached rank 5. Ajax rted their breakthrough to the spirit stone mine and didn''t bother much about it. However, now all the spirit beasts he had tamed in the five elemental world had reached the rank 5 made him a little surprised. Nheless, he was able to rte their elevation to the rank 5 was because of him reaching the elitemander cultivator. ''This means, it''s only a matter of time before they return to their final cultivations,'' Just thinking about it made him excited and he wanted to break through to the general realm as soon as possible. Along with them, the peak rank 4 Golden bear king with his child rank 3 Golden bear. Next to the father and child duo, stood the rank 4 Netherworld ice sparrow and peak rank 4 three-eyed ck ghost fox. "Why didn''t Ghost has not reached the rank 5 yet?" Ghost, the three-eyed ck ghost fox was cultivated in the mini-dark abyss for most of the time. So, Ajax felt something was wrong with this contracted spirit beast. Moreover, the fox had absorbed the spirit consciousness of a king realm spirit beast. So, without a doubt, it should have reached at least the general realm. ''I will see what''s wrong with you after we finish the extraction process,'' He thought inside his head and looked at all the spirit beasts before saying, "Everyone, do your best and extract as many spirit stones as possible." As soon as he ordered, all the spirit beasts nodded their head as though they understood what Ajax had just said. That''s right! After the contract with the spirit beasts he had tamed in the five elemental world, they gained enough intelligence to understand human speech; however, they still could not speak even though they reached the rank 5 like the spirit beasts in the Cursed Wilderness. ''Thank god, twilight is asleep; otherwise, I don''t what I had to do to pacify it,'' After all the contracted spirit beasts, left to help others or mine the spirit stones on their own, Ajax thought while looking into his inner world. In the inner world, the Destructive twilight dragon was sleeping in front of the mini- dark abyss without a care in the world. Ajax didn''t want to summon twilight out of the inner world now because the spirit stone mine would not be able to hold it as it''s size was humungous. When Ajax saw that the dragon was asleep he was able to rx as he knew it would make trouble if it knows that except for it, all the other spirit beasts were summoned out of the inner world. All the rank 5 spirit beasts used their powerful skills to break the walls of the spirit stone mine and the elemental spirits started picking up the spirit stones carefully. However, it remained single and continued to extract the spirit stones at his monstrous speed. ''With this kind of speed, the extraction will bepleted much faster,'' Ajax thought in his head when he saw the work of his sub-ordinates and moved deeper into the spirit stone mine to find whether there were any valuables other than spirit stones. Chapter 400: Property

400 Property

He slowly walked deeper into the spirit stone mine and eventually reached the dead-end within a few minutes as the spirit stone mine was not veryrge. ''Huh? Why am I not sensing the source?'' When he reached the dead end, Ajax thought in his head as he looked at his surroundings carefully. From his childhood, the only thing Ajax was proud of was about his sensing of the elements in the air and even Elder Boron used to praise him for that talent; however, now he was unable to sense the source from this spirit stone mine was born. ''Looks like the sourcepletely disappeared after this spirit stone mine was formed,'' Since he was unable to sense the source, he thought it might have disappeared after supplying the essence to the spirit stone mine. Shaking his head, he thought of returning back to his subordinates to help them in extracting the spirit stones. Just as he turned his head, he suddenly sensed a weak fluctuation from the ground below him. "Huh? This might be the source" Ajax bent down and observed the ground closely and felt that this must be the source where the spirit stone mine was formed. "But it is very weak and I am barely able to sense the energy," Even when he observed very closely, he was not sensing the strong fluctuations and the energy from the source was very weak. ''Ding, The host found the source of the low-level spirit stone mine. ''Ding, Do you want to take control over it? "What the heck?" Just as he stood straight after observing the ground, he received the system notifications that made him speechless and thought that system was joking with him. ''Or maybe not,'' Ajax immediately rejected the idea and looked at the holographic n front of him and said, "Yes" ording to Ajax, only a fool would reject the control over a spirit stone mine. ''Even though it''s only a low-level one, if he supplies some high source of energy, it might produce some medium level or high-level spirit stones in the future. Nevertheless, it would continue to produce low-level spirit stones with the surrounding essence of nature,'' Ajax''s thoughts about the control over spirit stone mine calcted everything and he nned what to do with it in the future. ''Ding, Please transfer 5000 units of the essence of nature and finish taking control over the spirit stone mine. As Ajax was expecting that system would directly bind the spirit stone mine to him, he got the system notification asking him to pay 5000 units of the essence of nature. ''System, you are bing more like a thug day by day,'' Ajax muttered as he agreed to the system''s notification. ''Don''t need to feel much. It''s worth it, Ajax,'' With less than 500 units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, he felt weak all over his body and waited for the confirmation message from the system. ''Ding, 5000 units of the essence of nature have sessfully transferred to the spirit stone mine. As he was feeling a little weak, he received the system notification informing about the transfer and the weak fluctuations from before had now be strong. Moreover, he also felt closer to the spirit stone mine. It didn''t take much time for him to get another system notification which made him excited. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully taking over the control of the spirit stone mine. Please check the under the properties list in the user interface. Although he didn''t understand much about what it said, he opened the user interface and found the properties section. Currently, under that section only one name was present and Ajax focused on it. ''Ding, Property:- Low-level spirit stone mine (Fire) Input:- Surrounding essence of nature in the five elemental world. Output:- 10000 spirit stones per year Upgrade requirements:- Need a very rich fire elemental essence of nature to level up to the medium level spirit stone mine. Guardian:- None Note:- The host can''t transfer it to his inner world. "What? Not transferable?" Even though the note was at the end of the holographic screen, Ajax''s eyes firstnded on it and became shocked. Until now, he thought he could transfer the spirit stone mine into his inner world and he could take the spirit stones out of the mine whenever he required them. However, now the system gave him a note that it was not transferable making him quite shocked. ''Sigh...I should have asked the system before I took control over it,'' Ajax sighed but he was not worried much about the 5000 units of the essence of nature he had just spent. ''Let me check the other information about this spirit stone,'' Next, he looked at the holographic screen for more information. "Good good good," He nodded his head as he said ''Good'' three times. Because there was no need for him to send any essence of nature to this spirit stone mine in the future and he would still receive 10000 spirit stones per year. ''Moreover, I?just need to find some rich fire essence of nature and upgrade it then I can get medium level spirit stones,'' Thinking about medium grade spirit stones, Ajax was excited and looked at thest row. ''Guardian?'' There was no need for him to ask the system about it as he knew about what it meant and in fact, he was thinking about whom should he appoint as a guardian. Since the guardian would be separated with him for almost all the time, he had to be careful in selecting the guardian. ''I think, I should appoint red as the guardian since he was also rted to the fire element,'' After thinking for a few seconds, he thought of the boulder soul whom he had made into his inner world''s guardian and summoned him. ''System, I want to appoint Red as the guardian of the spirit stone mine. Is it possible?'' Ajax felt that there might be a problem as Red was already the inner world''s guardian. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Are you sure, you want to make red as the spirit mine guardian? Soon, the system replied with a notification that asked him to confirm onest time. "Yes," Since the system didn''t say it was impossible, he agreed without any hesitation. ''Ding, A guardian is now appointed to the spirit stone mine. ''Ding, The guardian has a 100 percent affinity with the spirit stone mine. New effects are added as a result. "Woah! I knew it. Appointing Red as the guardian was a good thing," Seeing the new system notifications, Ajax was excited and he confidently muttered to himself. ''Let''s see the added effects of the spirit stone mine,'' Ajax thought in his head and once again checked the information on the spirit stone mine. ''Ding, Chapter 401: million spirit stones

401 20 million spirit stones

Property:- Low-level spirit stone mine (Fire) Effect:-?20 percent chance of mining a medium level spirit stone and 1 percent chance of mining a high-level spirit stone. Note:- Effect was added only because of the Guardian named Red. "Huh? Good effect," Ajax was surprised and excited by the new effect of the spirit stone mine. Since red was a soul of the fire boulder in the fire elemental paradise, Ajax felt that keeping him as a guardian would give some results, so he was excited for being able to guess correctly. Even in the Zrochester province, there were only a few spirit stone mines due to the less purity of the essence of nature in the atmosphere. They were also in the control of the Royal family, and the three sects. Even the five main families don''t have a single spirit stone mine under their name. From this, one could expect how rare it was to own a spirit stone mine. What''s more, all the spirit stone mines in the Zrochester province were only low-level ones, So when Ajax saw the effect of getting the medium level and high-level spirit stones, he was excited beyond his limits. ''Whoosh'' As soon as he appointed Red as the new guardian of the spirit stone mine, the boulder soul appeared in front of him from the inner world and bowed to Ajax before saying, "Master, do you want to extract the 7520000 spirit stones?" "Huh?" Ajax looked at the guardian in front of him with a surprised look and he didn''t understand what he was saying and asked him, "Didn''t I already started mining the spirit stones?" "Yes, you did master. However, it can extract all the spirit stones in a second and send it to your inner world or your space ring," After bing the guardian of the spirit stone mine and him having the 100 percent affinity with it, he gained some knowledge about the working of the spirit stone mine. "Really? Then it''s a great thing. Extract all the spirit stones and send it to me," Ajax was excited and hurriedly asked Red to do his work. What Ajax''s elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts were doing for the past few hours? Wasn''t he ordering them to do this extraction? Even when they worked so hard for the past few hours, they had only managed to mine a 30 percent of the total spirit stones from the spirit stone mine. And now, Red was saying that he could extract all the spirit stones in the spirit stone mine and directly transfer them to his space ring or the inner world. So, of course, he was excited and hurried Red to do his job. "Yes master," Red nodded his head and disappeared for a second before appearing in front of Ajax once again. "What happened to you, red? Why do you look fat all of a sudden?" ''Ding, The host''s property guardian wants to transfer spirit stones to you. Do you ept? Instead of any reply from Red, Ajax got a system notification informing about the transfer. "Yes," Ajax guessed that all the spirit stones were inside Red and because of that he was looking like about to burst out his transparent soul body. So, without wasting any time, he epted to receive the transfer of the spirit stones. ''Ding, Transferring 7520000 spirit stones into the host''s inventory. Soon, the swollen body of Red became normal and Ajax opened his inventory to check the total spirit stones. ''Ding, Fire spirit stones X 10520000 "I am damn rich. Hahaha," Looking at the huge number, Ajax was unable to control hisugh andughed loudly. "With this 10 million and the previous 10 million spirit stones, I can buy whatever I want in the dimensional crevice," Ajax muttered lowly to himself and looked at the guardian before saying, "Take care of this spirit stone mine from now on." Since he was unable to take this spirit stone mine with him, he asked Red to take care of it. ''Anyway, I have a mission to take over this Shixato wilds, so it''s better to have some properties like this to maintain arge group of subordinates,'' Ajax remembered the mission issued by the system when he was in the Hawk tribe and thought in his head. ording to his assumptions, he could make the fire crow tribe and lightning hawk tribe listen to his orders with little to no effort and the Netherworld ice sparrow was not a problem if he had the support of the two tribes. ''The only problem with the mission is to clear this Shixato wilds from the unevolved spirit beasts that reside in various corners in the Shixato wilds,'' Ajax thought back to the time when even the older birdman was unable to win against the octopus-like spirit beast and clearly thought that these unevolved spirit beasts were a serious problem for thepletion of his mission. ''Since there is no time limit for the conquering mission, I will think about that after I reach the general realm or elite general realm,'' Ajax stopped thinking about those things and returned back to his elemental spirits and the spirit beasts which were looking at him with puzzled looks. "No need to worry, red helped me to extract all the spirit stones from the spirit stone mine, Haha," It didn''t take much time for Ajax to understand what was happening with these elemental spirits and spirit beasts and he briefly exined about red bing the guardian and helped him in extracting the spirit stones. All the elemental spirits nodded their head when they heard Ajax''s words whereas the spirit beasts looked at the elemental spirits and followed their actions. ''Okay, everyone. We will stay in the five elemental world for 7-8 more days. So, if anyone wants to venture the Shixato wilds can go now and when it''s time I will call for you,'' Since the extraction of the spirit stones waspleted, Ajax offered all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts to venture the Shixato wilds. Ajax knew no one likes to be inside the inner world even if it had many elemental paradises, so he gave them a chance to roam the Shixato wilds. ''Roar'' ''roar'' ''roar'' All the spirit beasts were excited to hear Ajax''s words and let out the loud roars. "Thanks, master, we will do as you say," Just like the spirit beasts, the elemental spirits were excited but they didn''t shout like the spirit beasts; instead, they bowed in front of Ajax and thanked him. "Juste back when I call and also, there are powerful spirit beasts, so don''t go and anger them," Ajax nodded his head and warned them to be careful they were alone in the Shixato wilds. Seeing that the elemental spirits were acting cooler, the spirit beasts stopped roaring and bowed in front of Ajax while letting out small roars as though they were thanking him. "Hahaha," Ajaxughed when he saw their actions. "Huh?" However, hisugh suddenly came to a halt when he saw the three-eyed ghost fox which was not excited at all. Chapter 402: Ghosts Origins

402 Ghost''s Origins

Nevertheless, Ajax wanted them to experience some fights on their own. However, the three-eyed ck ghost fox was clearly not excited with Ajax''s words and didn''t show any interest in venturing the Shixato wilds. "Okay everyone, go now ande back when I call you," Ajax didn''t ask anything to the three-eyed ghost fox for now and asked all the elemental spirits and spirit beasts to start their venturing the Shixato wilds. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' ''Whoosh'' All the elemental spirits and spirit beasts except for the three-eyed ghost fox and Snow had left the spirit stone mine. "Huh? Snow, don''t you want to leave for a while and venture outside?" Ajax didn''t ask the three-eyed ghost fox because he could guess that reason behind it. So, he asked Snow for her reason. "If everyone left, who will protect you, Master?" Snow said with a small smile on her face making Ajax unconsciously smile at her reason. "Do as you seem fit," Ajax didn''t force and leave it up to her to decide what she wants to do. After saying that he looked at Ghost, which walked towards him slowly. "What happened, Ghost?" Ajax picked it up from the ground and asked while caressing its smooth and ck fur. After absorbing the spirit consciousness of the King realm spirit beast, the size of the three-eyed ghost fox was shrunk and looked like a normal small ck fox; however, there was an additional eye on its forehead that made it look different from ck fox. ''Purr pur'' Enjoying the caressing from Ajax''s head the little ck fox purred in a low voice as though it was exining something. "Snow?" Since he didn''t learn the beastnguage yet, Ajax looked at Snow and asked her to trante the ck fox''s purring to him. "He is saying that he wants to go back to his home and meet his parents," Snow said to Ajax in a sad tone making Ajax also sad. "Ghost can you say more about your home and where is it?" Ajax slowly asked the ghost fox about his origins. Even though Ajax guessed his origins, they were still assumptions. So, he wanted to get a clear idea of its origins. ''Pur pur'' Soon, the ck fox started his purring and exined about his origins. As usual, Snow started tranting Ghost''s purring to Ajax. It took Ajax a couple of minutes to know the origins of the three-eyed ghost fox and it was somewhat simr to what he had assumed but there was one thing that surprised him and made himugh loudly. However, Ghost was annoyed by the vigorous training by his father, who was a humanoid ck fox. So, one day, he escaped the tribe and was surrounded by some masked humanoid beings and was knocked out by them. The next thing he remembered was opening his eyes in the Shixato wilds and eventually found a beast king''s corpse. After cultivating in that for a few years, he learned a skill to summon the ck foxes from its blood for every single month and eventually made an army to protect its new shelter. However, the army was killed by Ajax andter it formed a contract with Ajax. "What? Your parents are humanoid beings?" This was the first thing that made himpletely shocked in the story that Snow had tranted. ording to his knowledge, the spirit beasts that re-cultivated into humanoid forms would give birth to humanoid children but from the story, Ajax found out that the parents of Ghost were re-cultivated but still gave birth to an unevolved spirit beast which made Ajax puzzle and felt that he still have more to learn about this re-cultivation thing. "So, you escaped from the tribe, got kidnapped and appeared in the Shixato wilds. So, why didn''t you try to go back to your home?" Even though he wanted to know about the people that kidnapped Ghost, from the words of Ghost, he could understand he doesn''t know a thing about them. So, he asked another question. ''Pur purr'' "He wanted to go many times, but the problem is he didn''t know the way to his home and something inside him made him cultivate the spirit beast king corpse," Snow tranted the purring once again. "Looks like there is more to Ghost''s background," After hearing all about the three-eyed ghost fox''s origins, Ajax concluded with this thought and looked at the small ck fox in his embrace, he said, "Don''t worry. I will take you to your home and see your parents." When the ck fox heard Ajax''s words, he clutched Ajax''s hands even more tightly as though he was excited by Ajax''s words. "Since everything here is settled now, let''s go back to the hawk tribe," After promising that he would take the ck fox to his home, Ajax said to Snow and silently left the spirit stone mine. ''I will take good care of this spirit stone mine, Master,'' After Ajax left the spirit stone mine, Red, the new guardian of the spirit stone mine, swore silently looking at the disappearing silhouette of his master. ... In a dark cave, Somewhere in the five elemental world. ''Swoosh'' A two-coloured elemental spirit slowly moved towards the middle-aged man. "What happened? Did you find out about the boy you mentioned earlier?" When the elemental spirit was within 2 meters, the middle-aged man, who waspletely covered in ck robes opened his eyes and asked it. "I am unable to find it," The elemental spirit that looked like thebination of the two different elemental spirits shook its transparent head and said to its summoning master. "Huh?" When he heard his elemental spirit''s words, the middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at the elemental spirit with a frown on his face. "Sorry summoning master, I am bing useless more and more recently," Before the middle-aged man could say anything, the elemental spirit apologised to him and med itself. "Don''t me yourself. It''s just that your power is weakened so much after ourst battle," the summoner shook his head and consoled his weakened elemental spirit and continued saying," Tell me more about it. Even if you are injured, that doesn''t hinder you from finding that boy, who was capable of summoning the various element-types of elemental spirits." "When my energy reached that boy, I was deflected by some kind of powerful force, which I have never seen before in my life or in any of our adventures," the elemental spirit nodded its head and briefly exined about what it had faced when it was trying to find about Ajax. "What?" As soon as he heard his elemental spirits words, he stood up and asked with a shocked expression on his face. Chapter 403: Venturing starts

403 Venturing starts

"Yes master, before I could enter his mind to find out the information about him, some kind of source threw me out of the boy," The elemental spirit exined the experience that urred to it when it tried to find the origins of Ajax. "Unless, if he came from one of the greater worlds, it is impossible for this to happen. Keep an eye on him from the distance and evaluate his character," The middle-aged man nodded his head while calming himself and asked his dual elemental spirit to continue observing Ajax. "So, the master wants to recruit him?" The elemental spirit inquired its summoning master. "If he satisfies all the conditions, there is nothing wrong with recruiting him. Also, the most important thing to do now is to heal my injuries and find others," The middle-aged man said with an expressionless face before going back to his meditation. The dual elemental spirit didn''t say anything and slowly disappeared from its position. ...¡­ As for the Ajax, he doesn''t know there was someone, who wants to recruit him into some kind of organisation or group. At present, he was slowly walking towards the Hawk tribe with Snow and Ghost apanying him. While travelling, Ajax gets to know more about Ghost and its home. "The reconstruction of the tribe leader''s house must have been finished by now," Ajax guessed about the tribe leader''s house and along the way, he also thought about his future actions after going back to the tribe. ... While Ajax was moving towards the Hawk tribe, his elemental spirits and spirit beasts formed into separate teams of 2 or 3 members and started exploring Shixato wilds. One of the teams that consisted of the father-child Golden bears'' duo along with the earth elemental spirit it. "Furball, I am sensing some earth elemental fruit that could be useful to little furball," Surprisingly, it was on the Golden bear king''s back and excitedly said to him. That''s right, it was not amon scene for the golden bear kings to allow others to sit on their backs; however, the Golden bear king allowed it to sit on his back and he was not even angry. ''Roar'' Instead, he became excited when he heard the words of it about some earth elemental treasure and roared. "I know you wanted to pick that treasure and give it to you son. But there is a spirit beast guarding it," Even though it doesn''t know the beastnguage, he was able to guess what the golden bear king''s earlier roar meant and warned him. However, the golden bear kind didn''t think for a second before rushing towards the direction in which it had pointed. ''Roarrr'' Just as the golden bear king was about to enter into the swamp, it heard a loud roar of a spirit beast from the swamp making the Golden bear king halt. ''Pheww...at least it knows when to stop'' it heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the golden bear king''s actions. "Since we don''t the strength of the spirit beast in the swamp, let''s make a n and kill it before taking that earth elemental essence filled fruit," Since the golden bear king finally stopped, it said his thought about how to take the fruit, whose name he didn''t know. Although he didn''t know the name, he could sense that it was a perfect snack for the little fuzzball. His care for little fuzzball began when he was in the inner world. Among all the elemental spirits he and Spirus were the only ones that didn''t have an elemental paradise. So, most of the time, it used to y with little fuzzball and became close to the father-child duo. Since both the spirit beasts were earth-elemental type, he suggested that he had a method to find earth elemental treasures and formed a team with them. "Roar" As it said his n, the golden bear king looked at his son, who was beside him and roared. Hearing his father''s roar, the little golden bear moved backwards and distanced himself from the swamp and then looked at it. "Huh? What is happening? Hey wait," Before it could understand the golden bear king jumped into the Swamp and half of the mud inside the swamp was sshed outside which decreased the level of mud. ''Roarr'' As soon as the swamp became half-emptied, a 2-meter lizard-like creature rushed towards the golden bear king. "A peak rank 4 swamp lizard?" it was worried all of sudden when he saw the spirit beast inside the swamp. Even though the golden bear king has the same strength, since they were in the swamp it was a disadvantage for the golden bear king. "Earth shield" Without hesitation, it used his skill to defend the iing attack from the spirit beast. However, before the earth shield could formpletely, the swamp lizard was already in front of the golden bear king which made it anxious. ''Paat'' Just as he was anxious, he saw the golden bear king below him, waved hisrge paw at the swamp lizard and it was thrown away from the swamp. After being thrown away from the swamp, the swamp lizard didn''t dare to rush at the golden bear king; instead, it ran away in fear. "Cool" it became speechless at the swamp lizard and marvelled the strength of the golden bear king. "Let me pick that fruit," Without wasting any time, it rushed towards the corner of the swamp and picked the brown coloured fruit and came out of the swamp along with the golden bear king. "Little fuzzball,e here," it called the little golden bear king and fed the fruit to him. ''Gulp'' The fruit was gulped in a single bite. "Let''s go and search for more treasures," After seeing the strength of the golden bear king, it''s excitement in searching for the treasures had been increased. ''Roar'' ''roar'' Both the golden bears roared in excitement and continued their journey. Just like it''s team, there were other teams that were searching for treasures and some spirit beasts to fight. Not all the elemental spirits and spirits were into the treasures. Some wanted to test their strength and stretch their muscles whereas others were simply looking at sceneries of the Shixato wilds. For example, Volcanis, who didn''t form a team with anyone was looking for an opponent of equivalent strength or a little more than his strength to fight whereas the two infernal spirits, ck med and Red med were simply roaming the various ces in the Shixato wilds. Netherworld Ice sparrow and Spirus formed a team and flew in the skies happily without a care in the world. They were not bothered about treasures or fights, they just wanted to peacefully fly in the skies until their master called them back. Simrly, every spirit beast and elemental spirit have their own ns in this free time. Chapter 404: Qwereks excitemen

404 Qwerek''s excitemen

Volcanis, the fire elemental spirit always wanted to increase his battle prowess, it was still a child and cared a lot about little fuzzball, so he would definitely try to help the little and special golden bear king to improve his strength. Spirus, Sparrow wanted to live peacefully. The couple, Red kitty and ck kitty were just enjoying their time together in viewing the different locations in the Shixato wilds. Like this, every single spirit beast and Elemental spirit had their own things to do in this free time that Ajax had given them. Ajax wanted those that wanted to fight to experience some battle experience without him or other groups of elemental spirits and spirit beasts. ''Nite, let''s find some dark elemental spirit beasts to fight. What do you say?'' Dabrus asked Nite in a friendly manner. "Sure," Simrly, Nite replied to Dabrus in the same tone. Among all the teams of Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits, Ajax''s least expected team would be this one, in which Nite and Dabrus were the members. Because before Ajax formed the official contract with them, they were about to kill one another and Ajax had expected that it would take time for them to get along; however, they were already behaving like long lost friends within a short time. ... "Finally, I am here," As all the elemental spirits and spirit beasts were on their ventures, Ajax had finally reached the Lightning Hawk tribe. "Huh? It''s sooner than I expected," As Ajax entered the hawk tribe, he was shocked by the renovated tribe which waspletely filled with new houses. It had been less than 10 hours from the time he had left the Hawk tribe; however, the tribe waspletely renovated and there were no traces of any damage left behind from the lightning tribtions making Ajax shocked. He didn''t waste much time outside the tribe and immediately rushed into the tribe leader''s house fearing that he might be surrounded by the Hawk tribe members. "Hello there, Ajax," As soon as he entered the tribe leader''s house, Qwerek politely greeted him. "Hi, Elder Qwerek," Ajax also replied in a polite way. "I need to apologize for something, Ajax," All of a sudden, Qwerek apologised to Ajax and continued, "Because of this lightning tribtion and the repairing works, no tribe member had left the tribe, so I need one more day to deliver your promised rank 3 ingredients." Since Ajax still needed 1-2 days to be the full-fledged rank 2 alchemy master, he said he was not in a hurry. "Thanks for understanding, Ajax. Still, I will try to deliver the rank 3 herbs as soon as possible," Tribe leader, Qwerek thanked Ajax and promised to deliver the herbs as soon as possible. "Elder Qwerek, I have something to ask. Can we go to some other ce?" Ajax shook his head when Qwerek thanked him; however, all of a sudden he thought of something and asked Qwerek to go somewhere alone. Because the main hall was filled with Elders and some high-level members of the Hawk tribe. If he asked about it in front of everyone, he might be the enemy of the Hawk tribe. So, he doesn''t want to take a chance. "Sure. Let''s go to the meeting room," Qwerek looked at the seriousness in Ajax''s eyes and turned around before moving into the meeting room. ''Snow, let''s go,'' From the beginning, Snow and Ghost were beside him because he didn''t send them into the inner world as he wanted them to be outside. Soon, Ajax and his team followed Elder Qwerek and entered the meeting room. "What do you want to ask, Ajax?" After everyone entered the meeting room, Qwerek sealed the entire meeting room and asked Ajax about what he wanted to ask. "Th...that¡­," Ajax was unable to ask what he wanted to ask as it might anger Elder Qwerek also. So, he hesitated a little, before mustering his courage he asked, "Elder Qwerek, what would you say if I ask that I wanted to unify the Shixato wilds?" "Huh?" When he heard Ajax''s words, Elder Qwerek raised his brows and looked at Ajax with a serious face making Ajax terrified. Thest thing he wanted now was to anger Elder Qwerek as he was the most powerful one in the three tribes of the Shixato wilds and he also needed his help to travel to other regions in the Shixato wilds. So, he doesn''t want to anger him. "You can. But the other two tribes are not that easy to deal with," Elder Qwerek lessened the seriousness in his face making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Okay. There is another thing I wanted to ask," Ajax didn''t wait for Qwerek''s reply and continued, "Will your Hawk tribe follow my orders?" After saying this, Ajax looked at Qwerek''s face for his reaction; however to his surprise, Qwerek was not angered even a bit. Instead, he looked at Ajax for a while before saying, "Sorry Ajax, it''s not possible. Even though you saved our tribe many times and we owed you too much, asking us to follow your orders will not be epted by many members of the tribe." ''As expected of one of the ancient tribes,'' Ajax thought in his head when he heard Qwerek''s calm reply. It''s not like the hawk tribe turned their back against their benefactor but most of the ancient tribes don''t ept the master from other tribes or other races. So, Qwerek stated the fact. "Then, if I let Snow be your tribe''s hope? Or something like that?" Ajax came here fully nned, so he used his other card which might possibly be epted by Qwerek and other elders of the Hawk tribe. "Really? You will leave behind Snow here and allow her to be our tribe leader?" Qwerek became excited all of a sudden because if Ajax did what he just asked, then the prophecy might be true and they could go back to their homeworld. "Hmm...let''s say, I did that, isn''t that the same thing as following my orders?" Ajax slowly asked Qwerek about his doubt. "It doesn''t matter. As long as Snow bes our tribe leader, she can do anything she wants to do with the tribe," Qwerek shook his head and replied to Ajax. "Aren''t you really the future of your tribe in the hands of others now?" Ajax felt that there was something wrong with the tribe leader Qwerek today. Usually, Qwerek would stay calm and cool; however, now he was behaving like an excited kid that just got a candy. "That''s right. I am leaving the future of the hawk tribe in the hands of Snow," Qwerek nodded his head with a smiling face as he looked at Ajax and Snow. Chapter 405: Ajaxs future plans

405 Ajax''s future ns

So, he didn''t hesitate in saying his earlier words. ''But Master, I don''t want to leave your side'' Hearing Ajax and Qwerek''s conversation, Snow hurriedly transmitted her voice to Ajax. "...." After hearing Snow''s words, Ajax didn''t know what to say and looked at Snow with a bitter smile. "Snow, it is only a temporary separation. Until then you and Raweth work together and defeat as many unevolved spirits as possible. Also,....," After waiting for a minute, Ajax tried to console her and said various things like conquering Shixato wilds and travelling to other regions. ''Fine, I will stay here,'' It took a while for Ajax to convince Snow and after convincing her, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Ajax''s n in his conquering mission was to let his two contracted spirit beasts be the tribe leaders of the two tribes namely Fire crow tribe and Lightning Hawk tribe. With the help of these two tribes, he would threaten theherworld ice sparrow tribe and then make his Sparrow their tribe leader. After that, thest step of the ns was to clear the unevolved spirit beasts in the Shixato wilds andplete the mission before leaving to the other regions in the five elemental world. ''As the first step of the n he wanted to make Snow as the tribe leader of the lightning tribe today and settle Raweth as the tribe leader of the fire crew tribe before his 10 day time is up,'' Ajax carefully thought of every step for this conquering mission whileing to the Hawk tribe earlier. Moreover, he had ample time for the preparation in conquering the Shixato wilds. So, he nned to take it slow. "Okay, Elder. So, if Snow bes the next tribe leader of the Hawk tribe, there will be no problems, right?" Ajax, for thest time, asked Qwerek seriously. "Her bloodline has reached 100 percent purity which is already making me bow to her. So, what do you think about other tribe members?" Instead of answering directly to Ajax''s question, Qwerek replied with a question of his own. Generally, the tribe members with the highest purified bloodline were allowed to participate in a contest to be the tribe leader. Qwerek only had a 70 percent purified bloodline and along with his intelligence, he won the contest and sessfully became the tribe leader of the Lightning Hawk Tribe. Since Snow already had the 100 percent purified bloodline, without a doubt, she could directly be the tribe leader. "Okay then. Before I leave the five elemental world, we will announce it to the entire tribe. What do you say, Elder Qwerek?" Ajax felt there would be no problems in Snow bing the tribe leader of the Hawk tribe. "Anytime you say is fine for me," Tribe leader Qwerek was so excited and didn''t mind about the time and looked at Snow before saying, "Until she is confident enough I will guide her." "Sure," Ajax nodded his head and agreed to Qwerek''s idea. Since Snow had no experience in leading a tribe, it was better to take the guidance of Qwerek. "Since the matter is over, I will go back to my room and start refining my pills," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after he put out his thoughts of conquering the Shixato wilds and decided to go back to his room and start his refining. "Okay. As for the rank 3 ingredients, I will send them soon," Qwerek just wanted to shout loudly thinking back to the conversation with Ajax; however, he suppressed his excitement and waited for Ajax to leave the meeting room and mentioned about rank 3 ingredients. Ajax simply nodded his head in reply and silently left the meeting room. ''Hahahahaha'' As soon as Ajax left the meeting room, Qwerek stopped suppressing his excitement and startedughing without a care in the world. As the meeting room was fully equipped with various arrays that could prevent the sound from inside the meeting room to go outside and vice versa. So, Qwerek didn''t care about anything and startedughing. "Finally, the prophecy is bing true and we can finally leave his world and go back to our original world," Qwerek said to himself amidst his loudugh. Their prophecy about going back to their original world from where their first ancestor, the Lightning Dragon Hawk Emperor hade from with the help of a true childe woulde true. Just thinking about it made him excited. ¡­.. As for Ajax, after leaving the meeting room, he exchanged some greetings with the elders of the hawk tribe who were sharing their experiences from the recent incident. He didn''t talk much with them. Just after said some ''Hi'' ''Hello''s he left to his room. However, this time, all the elders'' eyes were focused on Snow and the bloodline inside her was making them want to bow to her. Nevertheless, they controlled that feeling and didn''t even stop Ajax when he was leaving to his room. Only after Ajax and his team left to their room, all the elders heaved a sigh of relief. "Why do I want to bow to her?" Krail said with an embarrassed expression on her face. "Huh? Do you feel that way too? I barely suppressed that feeling. Thank god, they left sooner; otherwise, I would have bowed to her even if they had stayed a few more seconds," When he heard his little brother''s words, Kriaww exined his own experience when Ajax and Snow were in front of them. "It''s because of the bloodline in her body that is making us bow to her," the first elder slowly exined to them the reason for their feeling. "If only she bes our next tribe leader, I don''t mind bowing to her even though she is much younger than me," the second elder, Erek muttered and said his thoughts. "What bowing, I will not think for a second before kneeling in front of her if she bes our tribe leader," Kraill hurriedly said about himself. Simrly, all the elders said that as long as she bes the tribe leader, they would bow to her and follow her orders without hesitation. After entering his room which was the same room he was allocated previously. So Ajax was able to find his room on his own. "Snow, you can rest in the bed with Ghost. I will take a shower ande," As Ajax didn''t take a shower for a whole day and refined pills, helped with the lightning tribtions. So, after this many incidents, he wanted to have a nice hot bath to rx for a bit. So, he asked Snow to take rest along with the small three-eyed ck fox. "Okay master," Snow followed Ajax''s orders and rxed on the bed. Soon, Ajax took his shower and changed his clothes beforeing out of the bathroom. "Hot baths after a tiring day is such a bliss," Ajax said to himself before going to the second bed to take a short nap. Chapter 406: Poison resistant pills

406 Poison resistant pills

The six hours arepleted. The host needs to wake up now. "Ahh" Unknowingly, Ajax had slept for more than 6 hours before waking up all of a sudden by a system notification. ''What? Six hours are already over? Didn''t I sleep just now?'' Before going to sleep Ajax had set an rm for himself to wake up after six hours; however, due to him being very tired he had a nice sleep and felt that it was very short. Nevertheless, he didn''t sleep as he had more important work to do now. "Let''s start the rank 2 pills refining," After waking up, he opened Mason''s family alchemy handbook to look for some rank 2 pill recipes. Unlike many rank 1 pills recipes there were only 5 pills recipes and they were verymon that even Ajax saw those types of pills being sold in the Zrochester province. "I should check for the avability of the herbs now for these recipes," Since there were five recipes, Ajax wanted to see whether he had suitable ingredients with him to refine them. "What? Looks like ingredients for thesemon pill recipes are rare to five elemental world," It took a while for Ajax to check the ingredients for all the pills recipes. After checking each and every ingredient, he noticed that some of the herbs were not avable in the space ring in which rank 2 ingredients were stored. "Still, it''s okay. There areplete ingredients for two pills recipes," Even though he doesn''t have all the ingredients to refine the three pills recipes, he was satisfied with the other two pill recipes which had aplete set of ingredients to refine. "Underwater breathing pill or Poison resistant pill. Which one should I refine," Among the five pill recipes, these two were the only ones that haveplete ingredients. So, he thought for a second and muttered, "Poison resistant pill seems more useful than Underwater breathing pill.??? Since he had to refine only one rank 2 pill recipe, there was no need for him to worry about two pill recipes and finally selected a Poison resistant pill recipe. After selecting the pill recipe, he studied it carefully and remembered all the techniques while refining them. Soon, Ajax stood up from his bed before keeping the handbook aside and came to one corner of the room in order to not disturb Snow and Ghost who were resting on the other bed. "Thunder grass-root, spark seed, pearl cress and the main ingredient poisonous snake''s gall," After sitting on the floor, Ajax repeated the names of the ingredients and took out around a dozen sets of them before cing them in an orderly manner. In alchemy, all ingredients were not nt-based, there were many animal-based ingredients like snake''s gall, various spirit beast''s hair, horns, teeth etc. Refining the rank 2 pills was almost simr to refining the rank 1 pills but there was a slight difference. ''The difference is, the rank 2 alchemy master has to refine two ingredients at a single time and separate the essence from them simultaneously,'' Ajax clearly remembered the most important thing for the rank 2 alchemy master from the basic alchemy book of the alchemy king. That means he had to separate the essence from the main ingredient and any one of the auxiliary ingredients from the pill recipe. As for the remaining ingredients, he could either refine individually or in a batch of two. ''The onlyplexity in refining the rank 2 pills is that I have to divide my focus to two separate things,'' Ajax muttered about the problem but still, he had to do it since he was serious on bing a high-level alchemy master. "Before starting this second mission in the series mission, I will try to refine some rank 1 pills as a practice," Without wasting any time, he took out one batch of every rank 1 pill recipe he had refined earlier and started refining them. First, Level breaking pellet refinement is sessful. Refined 18 high-level pills. Second, Blood cleansing pills refinement is sessful. Refined 15 high-level pills. Third, Bone restructuring pills refinement is sessful. Refined 21 high-level pills. Next, Beauty pills refinement is sessful. Refined 15 high-level pills. Finally, Low-level healing pills refinement is sessful. Refined 18 high-level pills. Without any surprise, he was able to refine all the rank 1 pills in a single attempt and what''s more every time he refined a batch, there would be a minimum of 15 high-level pills making Ajax feel satisfied with his refining skills. ''The effect from the title- Alchemy maniac is very useful,'' Even though he was satisfied, he knew the true reason why his pills refinements never failed even when he refined back to back and each time he refined a different pill. "Phew...now it''s time to refine the poison resistant pills," Filled with confidence from the previous sessful pill refinements, Ajax looked at the dozen batches of ingredients which were ced in front of him in an orderly manner. Slowly, he took the poisonous snake''s gall and thunder grass-root in each of his hands and closed his eyes. ''Fire,e out'' After closing his eyes, he called out the fire from the basic alchemy fire refining technique. Within seconds after he summoned the fire, a bright red me came out from both of his hands and started refining both the ingredients in his hands at the same time and in a skilful manner. Soon, Ajax refined half of the essence from both the ingredients which made Ajax excited as it was his first time refining two ingredients at two different temperatures and it was going great. ''It''s easier than I thought. Just a little more and I can rx,'' Just as Ajax thought it was going well, the thunder grass-root suddenly became ck and turned into ash. ''What?'' When he saw that, Ajax''s focus became unstable and the main ingredient in his other hand also turned ck before bing ash. ''Sigh...I let my emotions take control of me,'' Ajax doesn''t need to ask the system to know his mistake as he already knew where he went wrong. "I can do it. I can do it," Ajax became resolute and motivated himself before picking up the same ingredients from another batch and started refining them. Just likest time, the separation of the essence from the ingredient went well until half. When it reached there, Ajax fully focused on the two mes and maintained the stable heat. This time, the refinement of the ingredients was sessfullypleted and in his hands, two small essence orbs were left behind after he retracted the mes back into his body. ''Fire Cauldron'' Without wasting any time, Ajax proceeded to the next step and made a cauldron from his mes which hovered in front of him. He threw the two essences into the fire cauldron and closed the lid and started supplying heat to it. ''Phew....finally half of the refining is done,'' Heaving a sigh of relief he looked at the other two ingredients in front of him and muttered to himself. Chapter 407: A small change in the recipe

407 A small change in the recipe

After that, the remaining ingredients were refined and the essences from them should be refined in a specific time in order not to fail the pill refinement. ''For Poison resistant pills, I have to mix the essences of the other two ingredients in 2 minutes,'' Ajax took the other two ingredients for the poison resistant pills and started refining them one after another as he thought back to what he had learned in Mason''s family alchemy handbook. That''s right. For every rank 2 pills, there would be a different time to mix the essence of the remaining ingredients to form the pills. As for the poison resistant pills, it was two minutes. Ajax didn''t have any problem in refining the other two ingredients within two minutes and threw them into the fire cauldron before increasing the heat supply to the cauldron. ''Maintain the heat supply constant,'' Ajax muttered as he fully focused on maintaining the stable heat supply to the cauldron. ''Ting'' It only took less than five minutes for him to receive the cauldron signal indicating that the pill refinement waspleted; however, whether the pill refinement was sessful or failure was yet to be determined by him manually. ''Please be sessful,'' Ajax followed every step he had learned in alchemy while refining this rank 2 poison resistant pills and just needed some luck to get some good pills. So, he prayed as he slowly opened the lid to the fire cauldron. "Phew...Finally its a sess," Inside the fire cauldron, there were nine pills that barely looked like pills. Moreover, they were also not crystalline like the other pills he had refined until now but looked like some small balls made up of ck soil. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for refining the rank 2 poison resistant pills. ''Ding, Series mission (2/3) Progress:- 1/3 While Ajax was feeling rxed after his first sessful rank 2 pill refinement, he received the system notifications and showed him the progress of his second mission in the series mission. Ajax didn''t bother with the system notifications and slowly retracted the bright red me into his body while the nine pills were left in his hands. ''These pills barely look like pills,'' Ajax took one of the nine pills into his hands and closely observed it and thought of himself. ''Ding, Item name:- Poison resistant pills (Low-level) Rank:-2 Description:- Barely called as pills. Without him asking for the details of the pills, the system sent a notification that made his jaws drop. ''Even the quality is low-level, it''s not a problem since it is still my first pill refinement. What matters now is the pill refinement was sessful and the mission is progressed,'' Ajax didn''t feel bad and took a deep breath before starting the next pill refinement. However, for the next refinement, Ajax was not as lucky as the first pill refinement and failed even before he could mix the essence of thest two ingredients into the fire cauldron. ''Keep calm and continue the refinement,'' Ajax knew that he was already very lucky at his first sessful pill refinement and wanted to continue his next refinements. Based on the result of his first sessful pill refinement, it could be considered as the lowest sessful pill refinement. So, Ajax was neither shocked nor surprised at the failure of his second pill refinement. Simrly, he failed the third and fourth pill refinement making Ajax frustrated and made him stand up from the floor to take a small break in his refining. He went to his bed and rxed on it before recalling his earlier pill refinements which failed and pondered about where he went wrong in them. In his second pill refinement, he didn''t maintain the stable heat supply while mixing the essences of thest two ingredients. In the third one, he was too eager and opened the lid as soon as he heard the ''Ting'' sound and for the final pill refinement, it was his luck that failed him even when he had followed every single step that was recorded in the pill recipe. ''Looks like the statement ''The path of alchemy needs luck'' is not wrong. Even when I followed everything that is recorded in Mason''s family alchemy book, the pill refinement still failed,'' Ajax''s thoughts drifted from one thing to another as he nearly pondered for a half an hour. After thinking about his mistakes for a while, he felt that he could make some changes from the knowledge he had gained from the alchemy king''s basic handbook. ''Anyway, now I can separate the essences from the two ingredients at the same time without any difficulty,'' The thing that made Ajax satisfied was that he had finally be adept in refining the two ingredients at the same time. ''Now, let''s start the refining,'' With the new excitement, he stood up from his bed and went to his corner before starting his refinement. Soon, he took the Poisonous snake gall and pearl cress and started separating the essences from them in a very skilful manner as though he had many years of experience in it. That''s right, he used the Pearl cress instead of the thunder grass root. Both the ingredients had the same level of importance, so Ajax wanted to try the pearl cress instead of the other one. The reason he did that was not on some blind thought but he had a pretty good reason to do that. Pearl cress had a good affinity with the main ingredient which he knew from the alchemy king''s handbook. It took only a couple of minutes before he refined them and threw the essences into the fire cauldron. Also, he took the other two ingredients and refined them for their essences at the same time since he had sufficient confidence in doing so. "Control the emotions and remain calm all the time," Ajax followed the remaining steps just like before while muttering some chant to calm himself with his eyes closed. ''Ting'' Soon, he got the notification from the fire cauldron and opened his eyes before slowly retracting the fire into his body. This time he was pretty confident that the pill refinement was sessful, so he didn''t even bother to check the pills by opening the lid of the fire cauldron. After retracting the fire, 12 pills that looked like small pearls appeared in his hands; however, the pills were not as shining as the rank 1 pills he had refined earlier. Nevertheless, Ajax was satisfied with the quality and quantity of the pills and heaved a sigh of relief. ''Just changing the lightning grass root with the pearl cress did a miracle. Great,'' Ajax felt good that the knowledge he learned from the alchemy king''s book was used appropriately. Next, his eyesnded on another batch of ingredients. Chapter 408: Madam Kiira

408 Madam Kiira

Congrattions to the host for refining rank 2 poison resistant pills (Medium-level) Mission progress:- 1/3 Just as he was about to think of the next pill refinement, as usual, he got the system notification informing about his refinement. ''So, the pills still didn''t reach the high-level. But the quality has improved from my first sessful refinement, so it''s fine,'' Ajax was not bothered much about the quality of the pills as he knew he was still learning. So, he picked the next batch of ingredients and started refining. "Another sess," It didn''t take much time as he soon finished his back to back the second refinement which was sessful. ''Should I continue or take some rest?'' Ajax felt that he was rushing up the things a bit and asked himself of his next action. Both options had their own pros and cons and Ajax finally chose to continue because he was in a full form and his state of mind was at its peak. So, he wanted to refine his next pill refinement now and he was confident that the refinement would be sessful. With that thought in his mind, he started another round of pill refinement. ¡­.. In the fire crow tribe, "Raweth, think about it. Don''t give me your answer now. Take some time and think it over before giving your answer," In a medium-sized room, the Grand Elder of the fire crow tribe asked Raweth. After saying his words, the grand elder didn''t wait a single second before leaving Raweth''s room which only had a single bed and a couple of other furniture. ''Sigh'' When he heard the grand elder''s words, Raweth shook his head and sighed before looking at his little brother who was sleeping on the bed. The answer that the grand elder wanted from Raweth was whether he would be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe or not. From childhood, Raweth always wanted to be the tribe leader but now even though he had the chance he could not be the tribe leader. So, Raweth couldn''t help but sigh. ''Sorry, grand elder. I promised my master that I would be his ve if he saved Rawin,'' Raweth didn''t even have a shed of worry on his face; instead, he was happy that his little brother was finally cured and became a normal birdman. ''Nevertheless, my little brother would be the tribe leader with his pure bloodline. So I am very happy for him,'' In the whole fire crow tribe, after Raweth, Rawin was the one with the highest bloodline purity. So, he felt happy that even though he could not be the tribe leader, his little brother would be one. But Raweth still didn''t know that Ajax was nning to make him the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe. If Ajax were to hear Raweth''s inner thoughts he would bitterly smile. .... In the Netherworld Ice sparrow tribe, In a luxurious room, an old sparrow tribe member politely informed the tribe leader, Kiira. "Huh?" Kiira raised her sharp eyebrows and thought for a second before nodding her head indicating the old birdman to send them inside. Kiira was thedy tribe leader of the Netherworld Ice sparrow tribe and she was as old as Qwerek. However, whenpared her appearance with the present Qwerek, she would look like his aunt with a face full of wrinkles andpletely white hair. "Yes, Madam," With a bow, he left the tribe leader''s room. "Greetings, Madam Kiira," Soon after he left the room, a group of young humanoid sparrow men came inside the tribe leader''s room and bowed in front of their tribe leader. Although she was the tribe leader, all the young elites of her tribe would call her as ''Madam'' or ''Madam Kiira''. "What is that you want to say to me at this hour," Kiira nodded her head and asked the group of young elites with an irritated expression on her face. "Someone from our tribe saw that deserter from our tribe," The young elite that looked like the leader of the group kneeled on a single leg and seriously said. "You mean that nameless and unevolved tribe''s childe?" Kiira became even more irritated as soon as the young elite mentioned Ajax''s Sparrow. Among the three tribe leaders, Kiira always looked irritated. Irritated at the fact that she was the weakest among all three tribe leaders and what''s more their tribe''s childe had lost in the recent three tribes contest making her hate Ajax''s sparrow. "Didn''t I order you all to forget about her and she doesn''t have any rtion with our tribe," Kiira exuded her elite general realm strength and pressured all the young elites for irritating her by mentioning Ajax''s sparrow. "W...wait Madam Kiira, it''s just that we have another important information to say to you," The leader of the young elites endured the pressure from Kiira and hurriedly said. "Say it," Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Kiira retracted her aura and ordered him to say what he needs to say to her. "One of my squad members noticed an elemental spirit on the back of that deserter who left our tribe," The leader of the young elites clenched his teeth as he informed about Ajax''s sparrow. "Huh? An elemental spirit?" Kiira stood up immediately and moved towards the leader of the young elites and hurriedly asked, "Where did you see her? We need to find her immediately." When they had noticed her anxiousness, no one from the young elites was surprised or shocked because they knew why she was acting like that. It was all because of the summoner''s group. Since an elemental spirit was riding their tribe''s ex-childe, it was a good thing for their tribe. If their tribe managed to form some rtion with the summoner''s group they could be the sole leader of the Shixato wilds. So, their tribe leader was very anxious to find the ex-childe. "Don''t worry Madam Kiira. I know how important this matter is to our tribe, so I asked some of my team members to follow them secretly," The leader of the young elite was proud of his own actions and looked at Kiira for some kind of reward. "Excellent. You did a good job of informing me about this matter as soon as you can. But you don''t need to worry about your reward. I promise to reward to heavily after we find her," How could Kiira doesn''t know what the leader of the young elites wants by informing her about this matter? It was of course for some kind of reward. So, she casually promised him to give some rewards after they found Ajax''s sparrow. "Thank you, Madam Kiira. Thank you very much," The leader of the young elites was over the moon with her words and hurriedly thanked her. "Now guide the way to their location and let''s find her," Kiira was anxious, so she hurried him to guide her the way to Ajax''s sparrow. "Yes, Madam Kiira," All the young elites moved out of the room and behind them, Kiira followed slowly. ''Hehe, soon my Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe will rule the Shixato wilds,'' While following them, she thought in her mind as she smiled. Chapter 409: Final mission of the series missions

409 Final mission of the series missions

So she thought to use the emotions to her advantage and form some rtion with the Summoner''s group. "By the way, did your teammate see any changes in her? Like appearance or bloodline," In only a few seconds the group of people left the Ice sparrow tribe then Kiira asked about Sparrow''s appearance and bloodline all of a sudden. Since Sparrow was with the summoners'' group she expected that they would try to increase her bloodline. So, she wanted to confirm whether there were any changes in Sparrow. "Huh? Yes, although my subordinate didn''t manage to find the bloodline purity in her due to the long-distance, there are some apparent changes in her physical form," The leader of the young elites briefly exined about Sparrow''s appearance. "What? Really, turned into a bright purple colour and became smaller than thest time we saw her?" After hearing the appearance of Sparrow, she was so shocked that thest bit of doubt in her mind about the summoners'' group vanished and she firmly believed that what she had heard about the summoners'' group being destroyed were all rumours. Only Summoners'' group were capable of increasing the purity of the bloodline in such a short time with their weird techniques and methods. With that, she wanted to meet them as soon as possible. With the leader of the young elites guiding the way with some kind of talisman, she continued following with excitement. "Yes. Sess. It''s a sess," While Madam Kiira and her tribe''s young elites were rushing towards his Sparrow, Ajax was excited at hisst sessful pill refinement. In his hands, there were 15 ck shining pills and looking at them, Ajax smiled from ear to ear. "These pills look like high-level ones and the quantity also increased," Ajax felt satisfied with this pill refinement. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the high-level poison resistant pills. ''Ding, Series missions (2/3) arepleted. ''Ding, The knowledge for the rank 3 alchemy is now unlocked. ''Ding, The host has now be a rank 3 alchemy master. As he was feeling satisfied with the quality and quantity, Ajax received a series of notifications and just as he heard the third system notification, Ajax felt the sudden pain in his head. ''Aargh'' With the pain came a new flood of foreign information. Just like when the knowledge for that rank 2 alchemy was unlocked, the pain onlysted for a few seconds before vanishing. ''Phew...'' Even though Ajax was prepared for the pain this time, the pain made him sweat all over his body and nearly made him berserk. ''I wonder how painful it will be when Iplete the final series mission and unlock the lock for the rank 4 alchemy,'' Just thinking about it made Ajax shiver. Nevertheless, the benefits after that pain would be worth it. So Ajax didn''t want to stop it here. ''Ding, The final series mission has been updated in the quest tab. Please check it for more details. Soon, the expected system notification appeared in front of Ajax. ''Finally, it''s here,'' Remaining in his sleeping position, Ajax opened the quest tab to check the third and final mission in the series mission. ''Ding, Series mission (3/3) Mission name:- Medium-grade Alchemy master Description:- Refine any rank 3 pills in which the sessful refinement should have a minimum of 18 high-level quality pills. Rewards:- Knowledge to the rank 4 alchemy will be unsealed. Time limit:- Before the host''s stay in the five elemental world is over. Note:- Seven days left until the host stays in the five elemental world. "Oh" After seeing the details about thest mission of the series missions, Ajax raised his brows and continued, "So, this time, it''s about quality and quantity. Good." From the first mission of the series missions, the system assigned the missions on a particr thing. Like, for the first mission, it was refining the wide range of pill recipes in the shortest time and for the second mission, it was about maintaining a sess rate in refining the pills. As for this final mission, it was on both quantity and quality. So, Ajax felt that it was a good thing that missions given by the system were focused on a particr thing which was helping him to be proficient in the profession. ''Also, the second mission took way less time than I expected and in fact, it is the easiest mission in all the alchemy missions I had received from the system,'' Ajax was still unable to believe that he was able to refine three sessful back to back rank 2 pill refinements in only a couple of hours. That''s right. It only took him less than two hours inpleting the mission; however, since the mission was given to him 8 hours before he even started refining, the mission was said to bepleted in around 10 hours or so. ''By the way, where are the rewards?'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered that the system still didn''t give him the additional rewards for the second mission in the series mission. The main rewards for the mission were the rank 3 alchemy knowledge but the additional reward was promised by the system to give Ajax for his understanding of the system. ''Ding, The system is calcting the reward for the mission. The host needs to be patient as the system is not running away anywhere. "Good. As long as you remember, that''s fine," Just thinking about the additional rewards, the system sent him a notification making him happy. "Since I was able toplete the mission in 10 hours, I?should get good rewards, right?" Ajax was expecting a good reward as he was able toplete the mission in less than one-fourth of the time provided by the system. So, there was nothing wrong in him thinking about some good rewards. Even though he was excited, he suppressed that and waited for the system to give his promised rewards. ''I don''t have any ingredients for starting thest mission. So I have nothing to do now. I guess I should study the various techniques from Mason''s family handbook,'' Ajax didn''t want to waste the time and wanted to learn more about refining and all the techniques he could learn and finally create his own pill recipes. With that thought in his mind, Ajax immersed himself in the study about alchemy and rted the knowledge he had gained from the system and the alchemy king''s handbook. In between, he got many ideas to rece the various ingredients from the ones that were mentioned in the pill recipes; however, he didn''t try them yet as he wanted to try those various possibilities in his future refinements. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission in less than one-fourth of the given time. After an hour or so, he finally got the system notification about his rewards and excitedly watched for the next system notification. Chapter 410: A Map

410 A Map

Map of an ownerless dimensional crevice in the Zrochester province has been sent to the host''s inventory. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to get the system notification he wanted. "What? A map of an ownerless dimensional crevice?" Ajax was shocked by the reward issued by the system. Even though it was just a map and not the ownership of the dimensional crevice, it was very good and rare. So, Ajax was shocked at first andter he was excited and eager to get out of the five elemental world to go and im the dimensional crevice as his own. Having a dimensional crevice gives many benefits for a cultivator. It could be his safe house where no one could harm him and make his own trading market and enjoy the tax from them. Overall, it was a huge benefit for Ajax. ''However, I can''t leave the five elemental world for another seven days and have some important things to deal with,'' Ajax knew what was important right now and calmed himself down before thinking, "anyway, the dimensional crevice isn''t going anywhere." With that thought, he took out the map from his inventory to know exactly where this Dimensional crevice was. The map was made up of some tough spirit beast skin and very thick. On it there were some drawings and below them were the names of the ces rted to the drawing. "Huh? In the Cursed Abyss?" Ajax didn''t take much time in observing the map as he was easily able to find where the dimensional crevice was situated. ''But the Cursed Abyss is so big. Where should I find it?'' Although he knew the name of the ce the problem was it was very big and he needed some more hints in finding the Dimensional crevice. ''Looks like, I need to search a lot...Sigh,'' Ajax sighed as he touched the spot on the map where the Dimensional crevice was marked. ''Whoosh'' As soon as he touched it, some light from the map had entered into his head with incredible speed. "What was that?" Ajax was confused at the light that entered into his mind and looked into his spirit consciousness; however, he didn''t find anything making him shake his head and looked back at the map in his hands. ''T...this is¡­.,'' When he saw the map now, he was able to see the erged version of it. Instead of saying the erged version, it was better to say that he could feel the ce where the Dimensional crevice was and got shocked that he was not even able toplete his sentence. ''Ding, The map is not linked to the host and he could observe the exact locations of the Zrochester province with some limitations. Please check the details of the map. As Ajax was still unable to believe what he was feeling right now, he got a system notification that made him wake up from the feeling and his surroundings became normal. When he read the system notification, Ajax felt that the map itself was a good treasure and hurriedly focused on the map in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Zrochester province map Effect:- Can sense a particr ce in the map for every three days using 1000 units of the essence of nature. Note:- The host can only sense the ces that were recorded in the map and it has nothing to do with the reality. "It''s good to sense the ces," Ajax nodded his head after seeing the information on the map and how to use it. Ajax was not bothered about the 1000 units of essence of nature when he thought of the dimensional crevice he would be getting soon. After ying with the map for some more time, he stored it in his inventory before resuming his study on the alchemy. ''Knock'' ''Knock'' As he was studying about alchemy, someone knocked on his door. ''It must be my rank 3 ingredients,'' He guessed that Qwerek must have sent someone to give him his ingredients and immediately went to open the door. "Hello, Sir Ajax," As expected, one of the hawk tribe members stood in front of his room and bowed to him as soon as he opened the door. "Hello," Ajax also replied the greeting and waited for that hawk tribe member to give him a space ring. "Tribe leader has ordered me to give this space ring to you," Without saying anything he took the space ring and checked the insides of the space ring before looking at the tribe member in front of him. "Thank you," Ajax thanked him before going back into his room without any dy. ''What? Sir Ajax has thanked me?'' the tribe member was shocked when he heard, Ajax thanked him. Literally, there was no need for Ajax to thank him as he was merely following the orders and what''s more, Ajax was the great benefactor to their tribe. So, his respect for Ajax had increased by another level as he left from there with an excited expression to brag about it to his friends and family. "Now, I can try refining the final mission andplete it sooner to get some good rewards," With the rewards from the second mission of the series mission, he was excited about his final mission. He stretched his body a little before going back to his refining corner. "Finally, I can try refining those pills," After sitting in his ce, Ajaxughed as he slowly took out some spirit beast parchment. For the rank 3 pill, he didn''t check Mason''s family alchemy handbook as he had already nned what to refine. ''It took me quite some time to finally use it,'' Ajax took out the parchment and muttered the pill recipe name, "Low-level Essence pills." That''s right. It was none other than the pill recipe he had gained previously from one of his missions and he didn''t get any chance or skill to refine them until now. At that time, the system had given him three sets of ingredients for refining the low-level essence pills but since he had no confidence to refine the essence pills in only three attempts, he waited for Qwerek to send the other rank 3 ingredients. "It is a good thing that I mentioned to him to not miss the ingredients of this recipe," Ajax felt good for his nning and took out the ingredients from the space ring. When he met Qwerek earlier, he specially mentioned the names of the ingredients required for refining the essence pills. So, the first thing he did after receiving the space ring was to check for those ingredients and hurriedly thanked the servant. ...¡­.. "How much longer?" Kirra was annoyed at the leader of the young elites and asked him. It''s been more than an hour and still, they were unable to find Sparrow, so Kirra was irritated. "Madam Kiira, they are continuously flying from here and there, so it will take us some more time to find them," He hurriedly exined his problem for not finding Ajax''s sparrow and Spirus. While saying that he showed her the talisman in his hand. Seeing the talisman in his hand, Kiira finally calmed down and said, "Okay okay. Let''s find her quickly." Chapter 411: Confrontation

411 Confrontation

As its name sounds, ites in a pair and the main use of these talismans was to sense each other. From the pair, one talisman was in his hands whereas the other one was with his cultivation partner, who was secretly following Sparrow and Spirus. So, when she saw the talisman in his hands, Kiira controlled her anger and?nodded her head. Soon, the group followed in a particr direction that the talisman was pointing at. ... "Sparrow, looks like we are being followed by someone," Spirus, who was on Sparrow''s back and flying in the sky informed Sparrow with a serious expression on her face. In response to Spirus'' words, Sparrow nodded her head indicating that she had long sensed that. Since Sparrow was more powerful than Spirus, it was an easy thing for Sparrow to notice that. "They all have around the same cultivation and I don''t know how many of them are there in the group. So, it''s better to join others," As she was unable to sense how many members were there in the group, Spirus wanted to meet up with others and fight them together. Since Spiruses under nonbatant elemental spirit, she does not have much battle prowess and she was best only when ites to healing. "Huh?" As Spirus was thinking of a n to fight those who were following them, Sparrow changed the direction and turned towards the group who were following them. "Sparrow, what are you doing? We still don''t know what kind of intentions they have for us. Stop it," Spirus became anxious and hurriedly took out a talisman from who knows where and ripped it without any hesitation. Spirus knew something was wrong with Sparrow as she had not seen her that angry before and along the way, she flew in the direction Sprius asked to fly. So, when she noticed that Sparrow was not responding to her and flying to their possible enemy, Spirus used the talisman given to them by their master before they left him. It was a talisman that was connected with many other talismans. If any of the talismans were meant to be destroyed, then all the other talisman holders would know that someone was in danger and all the talismans would guide them to the destroyed talisman. ''I hope those who were following us don''t have any ill-intentions towards us,'' Spirus sighed as she increased her alertness. As soon as Spirus destroyed the connecting talismans, in the various ces of the Shixato wilds it raised a smallmotion in Ajax''s summons. "Looks like Big sister Sprius in Danger," it had a simr talisman in his hands that was glowing with the green light. Seeing the green light from the talisman, it was able to figure out it was Spirus, who was in danger and became worried. "It''s close to me. I hope nothing happens to her," At another ce, Volcanis looked at the Spirit beast thatid lifelessly on the ground before looking at the talisman that appeared in front of him while radiating green light and muttered before disappearing from his ce. Simrly, the talismans in everyone''s hands also glowed with a green light and rushed towards the direction that the glow of the talisman became brighter. The green-light that was emitted from the talisman was the life elemental essence of nature belonging to Spirus. So, all the talismans in the various elemental spirits and spirit beasts were glowing with a green light. It was only a few seconds since Spirus had crushed the talisman and Ajax''s all other elemental spirits and spirit beasts were alerted and rushed towards her and Sparrow. "They areing towards us. What should we do now?" As Sparrow was flying towards the group that was following them, the group became anxious. It was not because they could not win against Sparrow and Spirus, but their leader ordered them only to follow secretly and not to alert them until he met them. However, now their tribe''s deserter were rushing towards them with full speed making them anxious. "Why are you worrying sister, she can''t win against all of us," In the group there were 4 ice sparrow tribe members with 2 peak elitemander realm cultivators, one level 8 and thest one was level 5 elitemander realm cultivator. So, the one with the lowest level of cultivation spoke arrogantly and hepared their group''s strength and Spirus''s team strength. "Idiot. You don''t know anything. It''s not these two we are fearing but the Summoner group behind them we are fearing," The only female cultivator in the four-member squad hit him on his head and scolded him for hisck of knowledge. "What? Summoners'' group?" That cultivator was shocked as he didn''t expect the two being in front of them to have rtion to the summoners'' group and gasped at his teammates. "Focus closely on the one that was mounted on our tribe''s ex-childe," The female cultivator said in an annoyed tone. The other two team members were also annoyed at him. "S.sh..she is an elemental spirit? But she was almost simr like a normal human," After observing closely for a few seconds, he was able to find out that she was an elemental spirit. It was not entirely his fault for not mistaken Spirus for a human. Since Spirus after her breakthrough to the elemental spiritmander looked simr to a human being even in her spirit form. ''Screech'' Soon, Sparrow reached them and stopped in front of them and screeched at the four ice sparrow tribe members. "Hello, little sister. How are you?" Hering the angry screech, all four tribe members looked at Sparrow and greeted her like a family. "What do you want? And why are you following us?" When she heard their words, Spirus increased her guard even more and asked them with a serious face. "Hello. We just want to have a small talk with our tribe''s childe. No need to worry, we don''t have any ill-intentions towards you," The female humanoid ice sparrow looked at Spirus and respectively answered Spirus'' question. Although Spirus was not sure about her words, she was sure about one thing that Sparrow knows about them and that''s the reason she was rushed towards them. ''However, why was she angry at them?'' thinking about it made Spirus alert and just wanted to waste some time before anyone of their teammatees here. ''We just need to stall for some time until tribe leader Kirraes here,'' Simrly, the female cultivator also thought to stall for time by talking. Just like that both of them started conversing until they were disturbed by a screech. "Screech" Sparrow screeched at the four members as though she was asking what they wanted from her. "Please don''t be angry little sister, aren''t we from the same tribe and the same blood runs through our veins. Just remember, how we used to y when we were young," The female cultivator said in a sad tone that made Sparrow''s anger calm down a little. Chapter 412: Refining essence pills

412 Refining essence pills

Everything changed after her death and as for the reason, Sparrow still doesn''t know as she was always suppressed and bullied by everyone from the tribe. When she thought she was alone in the big ice sparrow tribe, Madam Kiira, the tribe leader of the Ice sparrow tribe appeared in front of her and took her as her personal disciple. She was very happy and trained all the techniques and underwent various hardships. All the other tribe members also stopped bullying and started talking with her. Just when she thought her life was going good then came the three tribes contests and made everyone from her tribe reveal their true reasons for stopping their bullying. ''So what, I don''t care about these tribe members anyway. As long as Madam Kiira understands me, it''s fine for me,'' this was the only thought in her mind after she lost the three-tribe contest. However, Madam Kiira was very different that day and even insulted her mother which made Sparrow see her true form of Madam Kiira and finally with great heartache, she decided to leave the tribe. "Little sister, when we are little, haven''t I taken to various good ces?" When the female cultivator saw the anger in Sparrow''s eyes decrease a little, she continued to hit the iron while it was still hot. ''Screech'' After hearing the female cultivator''s words, Sparrow thought back to the time when she was little and screeched as though she was agreeing with the female cultivator''s words. ''Good. The bait is working,'' seeing it, the female cultivator cunningly smiled inside her heart. ''Screech'' As she wasughing inside her heart, she heard Sparrow screech and became anxious all of a sudden. Because Sparrow said in her earlier screech that she doesn''t hate anyone from the ice sparrow tribe and she was not rted to that tribe. "What? Don''t leave. Let''s meet Madam Kiira. She is truly pitiful and constantly thinking about you from the time you left the tribe," The female cultivator named, Innah hurriedly used her final trump card. Without any surprise, Sparrow, which was about to fly away stopped in the air and looked at Innah, who looked like a 20-year-old human girl with two huge purple wings behind her. "Just wait a few minutes and talk with Madam Kiira for a few minutes and then leave," Seeing that Sparrow was not going anywhere, Innah said her final words to Sparrow before finding arge tree and rxed with herckey birdmen. "Sparrow, if you want to talk, then there is no harm in waiting a few minutes," Although she didn''t understand much, Spirus was sure about one thing. It was the one named Madam Kiira was an important person to Sparrow...at least in the past. .... ''Ting'' ???Failed for the fight time?" After hearing the cauldron''s notification sound, he slowly opened the lid of the fire cauldron and saw the pill paste instead of pills and sighed. It was not his first or second unsessful pill refinement but his fifth time refining the essence pills and without much surprise, he failed. "Looks like I need to study a bit more about refining rank 3 pills," Ajax stopped refining after his five unsessful refinements and stood up from the floor beforeing to his bed and opened Mason family''s handbook to see whether he could find any tips or techniques while refining the rank 3 pills. It took him 10 minutes for each refinement and after five refinements, it was 50 minutes and adding to the time he took small breaks amidst his refinements, it was more than one hour. So, Ajax decided to take some rest and looked for some alchemy techniques to improve his sess rate in refining the rank 3 pills. "Huh? I think I can use this tip,?? It took him a few minutes to find a small tip but he still continued to look for more tips. ''I wonder, how my spirit beasts and elemental spirits are doing?'' While checking for some tips, he suddenly felt some ominous premonition in his heart and thought about his summons. "They can help each other out after the items I have given them before they left me," Ajax thought back to the items he had given them, he felt that they could escape from everything in the Shixato wilds. ''I willplete this mission and also join them in venturing the Shixato wilds,'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt excited and stood up from the bed. "Master, you looked excited today. Anything good?" Just as he was about to go to his corner to refine the pills, he heard Snow''s voice and turned towards her before saying, "Nothing. You can go back to your cultivation." Actually, there was no particr reason for his excitement, so he said nothing to Snow and asked her to go back to her cultivation. "Hmph. Ok," Snow angrily replied to Ajax before going back to her meditation and started cultivating. Beside her, the three-eyes ck ghost fox was sleeping without a care in the world. Seeing Ghost, Ajax shook his head but didn''t wake him up from his sleep as he knew that something was stopping him from breaking through to rank 5. So, he stopped bothering about cultivating and sleeping peacefully. Soon Ajax sat in his refining ce and took out the herb from the space ring and carefully ced them in front of him. ''Step 1, refine the main ingredient with two other important ingredients at the same time and separate the essences from the three ingredients,'' After five unsessful pill refinements, Ajax''s refining of the rank 3 pill became fluent and his hands operated the bright red-coloured me skillfully and easily separated the essences from the three ingredients namely, Brown bay leaf, Emerald moss and the main ingredient for the low-level essence pills core of the 1000-year-old emerald tree core. "Step 2, use the life elemental essence of nature andbine the three essences of the ingredients into one single essence," Ajax muttered step 2 as he followed the action for that step. "Step 3, Throw the singlebined essence into the fire cauldron and supply the constant heat," "Step 4, refine the remaining ingredients and separate their essences before adding them one by one with the same heat supply," In this step, he refined the remaining three ingredients, namely Snowy cassia, Ice shiso and Koqia stalk, one after another instead of refining them at the same time, he took it slow and added their essences with a minute gap between them. "Step 5, I will change it...Hehe," Until the four steps, he had followed as it was mentioned in the recipe; however, for the step five, he wanted to try something different and he had some confidence that it might work. With that thought in his mind, he took out a mid-level spirit stone from his space ring which was a reward from the system and lightly smiled as he said, ''It should work. '' Chapter 413: Quasi- rank 4 pills

413 Quasi- rank 4 pills

One High-level spirit stone was equivalent to 1000 medium-level spirit stones and simr one medium-level spirit stone was equivalent to 1000 low-level spirit stones. Although there were only 1000 spirit stones different between each category, the essence of nature contained in High-level spirit stone was much greater than 1000 medium-level spirit stone. So, if a High-level spirit stone auctioned in the outside world, everyone would fight with each other and bid without limit. Because a High-level spirit stone helps with the bottlenecks in the general realm and elite general realm. Although Ajax still didn''t get his hands on the high-level spirit stone, he got a medium-level spirit stone from the system and he didn''t use it until now. ''With this spirit stone, this refining attempt might be sessful,'' From all the knowledge he had gained about alchemy, Ajax was sure that the pill-refining would be sessful if he added some pure essence of nature into the fire cauldron. ''Kacha'' He extended his hand and ced it directly about the fire cauldron before crushing the medium-level spirit stone into the crushed. As soon as he crushed it, rich essence of nature rushed into the fire cauldron. ''Now,'' Just as the essence of nature from the spirit stone entered into the fire cauldron, Ajax closed the lid and increased the heat supply by a little. ''The heat helps the essence of nature from the spirit stone to mix well with the essence of the ingredients and the quality of the essence pills would be increased,'' Ajax suppressed the excitement inside his heart and continued to supply the stable heat. ''Ting'' After a few minutes, the final judgement notification came from the cauldron which made Ajax smile. ''Pheww¡­,'' This time Ajax was not in a hurry as he was able to feel the rich essence from the fire cauldron and heaved a sigh of relief. ''Retract'' With a thought, the fire in front of Ajax was slowly retracted into his body leaving behind 21 white shining pearl-like pills that have a white lustre on them. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the rank 3 pills andpleting the final mission of the series missions. ''Ding, Reward:- Knowledge to the rank 4 alchemy has been unsealed. Additional reward:- Stabilizing crystal has been stored in the inventory. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing a rank 4 alchemy master. Note:- The host still has a long way to go, so don''t be arrogant and continue refining more pills. After briefly ncing at the system notifications and remembered to check them outter before checking the pills in his hands. "Hahaha," Seeing the 21 pear-like pills in his hands, Ajax was unable to control hisughter and startedughing loudly that made Snow, who was cultivating and Ghost, who was sleeping woke up and confusedly looked at their master. "What happened to the Master? Is he finally possessed by some old demon?" Snow thought back to the time where Ajax behaved like this and muttered in a low voice. As for Ghost, he disappeared from the bed and appeared in front of Ajax and started staring at the pills in Ajax''s hand while drooling. "What? You want these pills?" When he saw the actions of the three-eyes ck ghost fox, Ajax asked the fox before taking out a pill and threw it at Ghost. Since there were 21 pills, Ajax thought there was no harm in giving one to Ghost. So he didn''t think much before giving him one essence pill to Ghost. "Master, I want one pill too," To his surprise, Snow also came to him and slowly asked for essence pills. "Here," Ajax didn''t think for a second before giving it to Snow as he knew that Snow would only ask for something that was extremely useful for her. "Thanks, master, hehe," Snow took the pills and smilingly thanked Ajax before going back to her bed and started cultivating. ''Huh? Are these pills that good for cultivation?'' ording to Ajax, the benefit of consuming these pills was to increase the essence of nature in one''s spirit consciousness; however, from the looks of its Ajax felt there must be some other uses about the pills that he had refined. ''Ding, Item name:- Advanced essence pills Quality:- High-level Rank:- Rank 3 (Quasi-rank 4) Effect:- Increases the essence of nature by 1000 units within 5 minutes. Additional effect:- 10 percent chance for the spirit beasts in awakening their ancestral memories. Description:- A beginner alchemy masterbined the knowledge of Alchemy from various sources and sessfully refined these pills. "Th..this is truly unbelievable," When he saw the information regarding the advanced essence pills, Ajax was shocked and thought he was seeing things and once again checked the information in front of him. "This is real," After confirming it was real, he was excited and once again startedughing. This time Snow and Ghost didn''t bother about Ajax as they were immersed in absorbing the pill effects. The reason Ajax was shocked was because of the additional effect. Ancestral memories were very useful for the spirit beasts as they would help them be powerful and also help them increase their intelligence. Within those memoriesid many secrets rted to past events, their signature skills etc. So, if a spirit beast awakens the ancestral memories, it was no longer considered as an unevolved spirit beast even if they were still in the spirit beast form. ''Q..Quasi rank 4 pills?'' Earlier, he was more focused on the effects of the pill and didn''t observe the rank; however, now he checked it and was shocked to see the Quasi-rank 4. Quasi-rank 4 meant it was just an inch away from reaching the rank 4, so Ajax was shocked that the first rank 3 pills he had refined would reach Quasi-rank 4 making him very excited. ''Ding, Since the host had reached the rank 4 alchemy master and entered into the mid-level alchemy stage, the effects of the title ''Alchemy Maniac'' has been changed. Please check it. "Huh?" When a system notification came all of a sudden, Ajax was surprised and after reading it, he hurriedly opened the user interface and checked the changes in the Alchemy Maniac. ''Ding, Title:- Alchemy maniac Effects:- 1) All the pills refined by the host have a 50 percent sess rate. (Non-stackable) 2) All the sessful pill refinements have an additional pill effect depending on the quality and quantity of the pills refined. "Good good good," With the new changes that were made in the Alchemy Maniac, Ajax was very satisfied. He didn''t know what to say with the two effects which were too good. From the two effects, Ajax was more excited about the second effect which would give an additional effect on the quality and quantity of the pills he refined. Just imagining about his future pill refinements that would gain an additional effect every time he refined pills, made him content with his previous five pill failures. Chapter 414: Stabilizing crystal

414 Stabilizing crystal

"Also, the basic alchemy fire technique can''t increase the sess rate for the rank 4 or above pill refinements, so it''s better to have 50 percent sess rate for rank 4 pill refinements from the title alone," Ajax thought about his fire technique which was useless for mid-level alchemists as it was unable to increase any sess rate to the rank 4 pills. Soon, Ajax stretched his body and looked at his two spirit beasts, who were cultivating peacefully and waited for them to awaken. ''Since the effects of the advanced pills willst for five minutes, I will just wait before going out,'' Ajax thought and rx on his bed while observing his two spirit beasts. Even after watching for almost 2 minutes, he didn''t find any changes from his spirit beasts, so he lost his interest and closed his eyes. "I forgot to check the additional rewards from the final mission," As soon as he closed his eyes, Ajax remembered about the additional reward and opened his eyes all of a sudden. ''What is it called? Stabilizing crystal?'' Just as he thought about the stabilizing crystal, a star shaped crystal appeared in his hands which was quite heavy. If not for Ajax''s inhuman strength, he would be barely able to lift that star shaped crystal. ''Check,'' Without any hesitation, he focused on the crystal and its information had appeared in front of him on a holographic screen. ''Ding, Item name:- Stabilizing crystal Effect:- Bnces the mutiple cultivations. Description:- A crystal that can be used by the cultivators, who cultivate multiple cultivations like body cultivation, Spirit cultivation etc, at the same time, to bnce those cultivations and synchronize the two cultivations to the same level. Rating:- Very rare "Huh? Synchronizes the two cultivations?" Ajax raised his brows as he read the information about the stabilizing crystal. Cultivations could be many types like Body cultivation, Spirit cultivation, Devil cultivation etc. It was already very rare to see cultivators like Ajax who had two cultivations namely Body cultivation and Spirit cultivation and it was almost impossible to find a cultivator with the three cutivations. "Does this mean my spirit cultivation will also reach the same level as that of my body cultivation?" Ajax muttered as he closely observed the crystal in his hand and became excited. Even though he doesn''t know what would happen if he used the stabilizing crystal, one thing was for sure, it would be very useful if what he understood from the information on the holographic screen. ''Ding, Pat 1000 units of the essence of nature to know theplete information on the stabilizing crystal. "Sure," Without any hesitation, he used 1000 units of the essence of nature. If what he understood about the stabilizing crystal was true then it was worth it. So, he wanted to give it a try and know about its working. ''Ding, A stabilizing crystal is formed from the blood of a mythical level creature that helps the cultivators of multiple cultivations to synchronize at each other and make them at the same cultivation realm. .... ¡­.. ¡­. A very long list of information appeared on the holographic screen which Ajax didn''t expect the information to be that long. ''Give me an example for my case. If I use it, will my spirit cultivation also reach the elitemander realm?'' Ajax asked the system about his confusion. Although he knew it was more likely that his spirit cultivation would not reach the elitemander realm, if not then what level is the synchronization for his both the cultivations. Since he paid 1000 units of the essence of nature, the system should give an example for him. So, he asked for an example. ''Ding, If the host uses the stabilizing crystal, both his cultivation would be synchronized at level 10mander realm. "What? It''s good" Ajax was surprised at the synchronization level and felt it was good because his spirit cultivation was only at the midmander range and his body cultivation was at level 1 of the elitemander realm. So, if both the cultivations reach level 10 of themander realm, then he would be making great progress in his spirit cultivation. ''But I will not use it now. I will only use when both of my cultivations reach level 1 or more in the elitemander realm,'' Even though it looked good, Ajax restrained himself from using it and thought when to use the stabilizing crystal. Thinking that he stored it in his inventory before turning his head to look at his spirit beasts. ''Looks like Snowpletely absorbed the energy from the essence pill...Sigh,'' It was around five minutes from the moment Snow and Ghost had swallowed the pills, but there was no energy radiating from Snow. So Ajax sighed as he knew that Snow failed to awaken her ancestral memories. ''Huh? Why am I sighing? I am already very lucky that Ghost seems to be awakening some of his ancestral memories. With that 10 percent chance, I am already lucky to see Ghost''s awakening,'' Ajax felt that he was bing greedy more and more and became embarrassed at his own thinking and tried to feel content with Ghost''s awakening of the ancestral memories. "No need to worry, Snow. I still have 19 pills, but let''s not use them now since it won''t be useful even if you consume them now," When he saw that Snow was feeling downcast, he consoled her and said that in the future, he would continue to give more advanced essence pills. Although it was not easy to refine the same advanced essence pills once again, he could refine them after some practice. However, the only thing that hecked right now in refining the advanced essence pills was mid-level spirit stones. He had already used the only one mid-level spirit stone in his inventory just a while ago and he had to find another one before he could refine another batch of advanced essence pills. ''I should keep an eye for mid-level spirit stones from now on,'' Ajax thought in his head and continued thinking, ''I wonder, does this lightning hawk tribe have any mid-level spirit stone.'' Since the five elemental world was richer than Zrochester province, Ajax believed that the hawk tribe must have some mid-level spirit stones with them. ''I can exchange some advanced essence pills with them if they can provide some mid-level spirit stones,'' Ajax doesn''t want to take advantage of the hawk tribe once again and decided to trade for a mid-level spirit stone. "Okay master," Snow was only disappointed for a second before replying to Ajax with her usual bright smile. "Let''s wait for Ghost toplete his awakening of the ancestral memories then we will go out and meet Raweth," Seeing that Snow had returned to her usual self, Ajax smilingly said to Snow and looked at Ghost to finish his awakening. Chapter 415: Collecting mid-level spirit stones

415 Collecting mid-level spirit stones

Although Ajax wanted to take it slow, it wanted to take the chance when he had it. Just like how Qwerek agreed in Snow bing their tribe leader and following her orders without hesitation made him fasten his ns. ording to his n, the next step would be to make Raweth the leader of the fire crow tribe. Since he hadpleted the series missions and sessfully became a rank 4 alchemy master, Ajax wanted to start the conquering mission. ''Before I leave this Five elemental world, I have to conquer the three tribes and let my three contracted spirit beasts to conquer the Shixato wilds,'' Ajax thought in his head and at the same time, the three-eyed ghost fox which had been meditating for a while had suddenly opened his eyes. "Master," As Ajax stood up to check the changes in the three-eyes ghost fox, he heard an immature voice of a young boy and surprisedly looked at Ghost. Because he could say that the voice belongs to Ghost. "Not only speech but a secret technique...Hehe," Ghostughed in his immature voice and disappeared from his ce and appeared on Ajax''s head which gave quite a shock to him. "Don''t need to be shocked, Master. In the future, if I awakened some more memories, there will be more?powerful skills than this ''Teleport''," When the three-eyed ck ghost fox had seen the shocked expression on Ajax''s face, he felt proud and said about his future skill with an exaggeration. "Haha" Ajax soon recovered from his shock andughed at the exaggeration of Ghost and shook his head. "It''s good that you awakened speech and teleported on your first time consuming the advanced essence pills. As for your future awakening''s, let''s wait and see," Ajax was already satisfied that Ghost had awakened a rare type of skill on his first attempt and doesn''t have much hope that he would awaken any more ancestral memories. "Now, let''s go to the fire crow tribe and meet Raweth," As all his matters at the Hawk tribe were almostpleted except for announcing Snow as their tribe leader, which he felt that he could do when he left the five elemental world. Snow and Ghost had said nothing and followed Ajax while nodding their heads. ''Ding, Skill name:- Teleport (Active) Effect:- the spirit beast can travel to anywhere within a 10-meter radius around it. Note:-?Skill can be used multiple times; however, with each repeated use the essence of nature consumption is increased. The usage count to reset everyday. ''But the only downside is repeated use of this skill is over-consuming,'' Ajax felt it was the only disadvantage of skill and overall it was overpowered. ''If it is a fight like a spirit beast horde or something simr to that, I can support him with my essence of nature which I can gain from killing the spirit beas or demons from the horde,'' Ajax instantly thought about where to use the skill effectively and slowly went to the tribe leader Qwerek''s room with his spirit beasts. "Hey Ajax, do you need something?" As soon as Ajax entered Qwerek''s room, Qwerek asked with a smile on his face. "Do yoU have any mid-level spirit stones? If you have it I want to trade it with something of simr value," Ajax didn''t want to waste any time, so without any hesitation, he directly asked about mid-level spirit stone. Moreover, Ajax knew that Qwerek won''t misunderstand him as he clearly understood what kind of person Qwerek was. "Huh? Mid-level spirit stones?" Qwerek stroked his white beard and thought for a while and replied to Ajax, "At the moment I have one mid-level spirit stone and I think, Cretual and Erek, both elders must have one mid-level spirit stone each on them." Since Ajax was a great benefactor for the tribe and only with Ajax''s help he was able to enter demi-king''s realm while turning the Hawk tribend into a rank 1 elemental paradise. So, he didn''t hesitate or expect anything from Ajax before giving the information on Mid-level spirit stone to Ajax. ''Three mid-level spirit stones? Good,'' Ajax was excited as he thought that even if he could get at least a single mid-level spirit stone from the Hawk tribe, he would be satisfied. He didn''t expect there would be three mid-level spirit stones in the Hawk tribe. So, he was excited and thought of the methods to gain those spirit stones from them. "I can give you my mid-level spirit stone and I don''t need anything in return," As Ajax was still thinking about how to get those mid-level spirit stones, Qwerek smilingly said as he took out a shining crystal from his space ring. "Th...this is..," Ajax shuttered a little before adjusting his voice and said, "I can give something simr value, Elder Qwerek." "Haha," To Ajax''s words, Qwerekughed as he continued, "After everything you have done to me and my Hawk tribe, I will be ashamed to take something in return for this mid-level spirit stone. So, please don''t give anything to me. You can use it to trade with others." After saying his words, Qwerek forced Ajax to take the mid-level spirit stone and quickly made Ajax leave his room as he didn''t want to take anything from Ajax. ''If only all people were like this, this five elemental world would be united and would have already be one of the greater worlds...Sigh,'' After Ajax left his room, Qwerek sighed as he thought about the power struggles of the five elemental world. "Now, let''s find the first elder and second elder," Ajax shook his head at how easily he got one mid-level spirit stone and continued moving towards Cretual and Erek to try to his luck. "Huh? First elder, Second elder, here you are," To his surprise, Ajax saw the two elders, whom he was searching for. They were talking about some tribe matters and Ajax greeted them. "Yes, Ajax. Come sit," Both of them invited Ajax to sit with them. "Thanks, elders. I have something to do, so I wille straight to the point. I heard you two have mid-level spirit stones. I have some use with them, so can you please trade with me?" Ajax wanted to meet Raweth soon and started conquering the fire crown tribe and Netherworld ice sparrow tribe, so he directly asked about his reason for looking for them. "You can have my mid-level spirit stone," As soon as Ajax finished his words, the first elder, Cretual, took out his spirit stone and threw it at Ajax as though he was not interested in the stone. Ajax caught that mid-level stone and looked at the second elder, who had some hesitation on his face. Chapter 416: A call for help

416 A call for help

"Huh?" Ajax didn''t understand why the second elder was behaving like this but he was sure about one thing that was Erek had some use with the mid-level spirit stone, so he continued, "If you have some important use, then just forget I even asked," Ajax replied to the hesitating second elder with a smile on his face. Since Ajax had got two mid-level spirit stones, he was already satisfied and asked Erek to use that mid-level spirit stone. "Oh, right! I forgot," Just as Ajax said his words, the first elder suddenly spoke making Ajax look towards him. "Huh? What did you forget, Elder Cretual?" Ajax curiously asked him. "The second elder can''t give his mid-level spirit stone as he had an important use with it. So hope you understand," Seeing the hesitation of the second elder, the first elder rified the problem of the second elder. "Oh, okay elder," After looking at the second elder for a second, Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ask for the mid-level spirit stone from the second elder. "Actually, this spirit stone is not mine. I made a bet with the third elder, Kraiww and lost in that bet. So, I have to give this to him," Mustering all his courage, the second elder finally said the truth about the true reason why he could not give the mid-level spirit stone to him. "Oh, What kind of bet?" After hearing the second elder''s words, Ajax became interested in their bet. ''Since the bet is huge, then the task must be very big,'' After asking them about the bet, Ajax thought in his mind and wondered what kind of thing they bet on. "Hahaha" When the first elder heard Ajax''s question, he was unable to control hisughter andughed out loud. ''Huh? Did I just joke? Why isughing that much?'' Ajax puzzled and looked at the second elder, who waspletely opposite to the first elder who wasughing out loud. The second elder was bitterly smiling as he stood up and slowly walked out from themon hall. "What happened to the second elder?" Ajax puzzled at the second elder, who escaped slowly as though no one was in themon hall. "It''s because of the bet, he is embarrassed," The first elder stopped hisughter and started talking about the bet. "The is about ¡­..," "First elder, what are you saying? Did you forget the promise you made?" Before the first elder could say anything he was he interrupted by the second elder. "Nothing" The first elder remembered the promise and bitterly smiled before apologizing Ajax, "Sorry, Ajax." "No problem," Ajax smiled at the first elder and looked at the second before saying, "Didn''t you leave themon hall, second elder?" The second elder became speechless at Ajax''s words and before Ajax could ask any more questions, he dragged the first elder with him. "By the way, I gave the mid-level spirit stone to Kriaww just now," Just when they were at the door, Erek turned around and said to Ajax. "Thanks, second elder," Ajax nodded his head and moved in the direction that Erek had gone earlier to search for Kraiww. ''Why this second elder became that embarrassed about the bet?'' Along the way, Ajax had thought about the bet between Erek and Kraiww but he could not guess about it. So, he didn''t bother much time about it. Soon, Ajax found Kraiww and asked his mid-level spirit stone, which was tly rejected by Kraiww. "Sorry Ajax, I need this mid-level spirit stone to break through to the elite general realm. I hope you understand," Kraiww apologized to Ajax as he said the reason behind not giving the mid-level spirit stone. "Oh...okay. No problem," Ajax nodded his head and directly left the tribe leader''s house. Ajax already knew one of the effet of the mid-level spirit stone was to help the cultivator to break through the major realm. Since Kraiww was at the peak level 10 general realm, Ajax guessed that he wanted to use that mid-level spirit stone to break through to the elite general realm. ''The first elder also behaved like Qwerek and didn''t ept anything from me,'' Ajax shook his head remembering that first elder also didn''t ept anything and generously gave him the mid-level spirit stone. "Anyway, the Hawk tribe will be one of ours soon," Ajax expectations for the future increased as he summoned twilight, who was sleeping in the inner world.. ''Roarr'' As soon as it came out, the dragon roared at Ajax as though it was asking why did he take that long to summon it out of the inner world. "Twilight, take this," Ajax knew that twilight would be angry when it was summoned out of the inner world, so he was already prepared for the situation and threw the advanced essence pills towards twilight''s mouth. As expected Twilight''s anger dissipated as soon as its eyesnded on the advanced essence pill and immediately caught it with its mouth and swallowed the pill before slumping down to the ground. ''Pheww...I managed to control it''s anger,'' When he saw twilight''s previous red eyes returned to their usual golden colour, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he knew that twilight won''t kill him, it would toss him into the air and y with him until his anger calms down. So, Ajax used the advanced essence pills and calmed down its anger. Soon, five minutes passed by and the effect of the advanced essence pill was also stopped by twilight and still didn''t open its eyes. ''Looks like Twilight has awakened some ancestral memories'' Since the destructive dragon still didn''t open its eyes even after the five minutes, Ajax''s was almost sure that Twilight had awakened something from its ancestral memories. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, his twilight destructive dragon has awakened the re-cultivation technique specific to the destructive dragons from his ancestral memories. ''Ding, Since the dragon has peak rank 4 strength, the host can initiate the re-cultivation process or let the dragon initiate on his own. As Ajax was excitedly looking at the twilight, he received some system notifications in his head that made him smile from ear to ear. "So, recultivation-technique can also be awakened from the ancestral memories. It''s great then," Ajax felt wonderful and thought, ''I think, I should refine more of these advanced essence pills and give them to my spirit beasts.'' When he thought like this, his motivation to refine the advance essence pills had increased. "What do you think, Snow? Should I initiate the re-cultivation process or leave it twilight?" Ajax looked at his spirit beast and asked about initiating the re-cultivation process. "Master, it''s best to leave it to twilight to initiate the re-cultivation," Before Snow could say something, the three-eyed ghost fox replied to Ajax''s question. Hearing Ghost''s answer, Snow remained silent and didn''t answer Ajax. "Good. I was also thinking the same," Ajax nodded his head as he wanted his spirit beasts to initiate the re-cultivation on their own. ''Summoning master, we need your help,'' Just as he was waiting for Twilight to wake up, Ajax received a voice transmission from Spirus asking for help. Chapter 417: Perfect humanoid form

417 Perfect humanoid form

"Child, sorry for my earlier behaviour," Sparrow and Spirus didn''t wait for much longer before the tribe leader of the ice sparrow tribe along with the young elites from the tribe had appeared in front of them. As soon as Madam Kiira saw Sparrow and Spirus, her eyes shined brilliantly but she suppressed her excitement and reced the excitement with a sad expression before apologizing Sparrow. Even though she wanted to talk with Spirus, she just looked at her and talked with Sparrow with a sad tone. "Squawk" When Sparrow heard those words, she became emotional and tears rolled down from her eyes and replied with a squawk. "How are you, child. I have been searching for you for the past few months," Seeing that her trick was working, Kiira felt happy inside her heart; however, she continued to maintain the facade on her face that made her look as though she was suffering. ''Squawk,'' Sparrow cleaned her eyes with her feathers and squawked once again. "Good. If you are well, then this old heart can ease now," Kiira didn''t waste any time and repeatedly used one after another emotional word to make Sparrow forget about her harsh behaviour. "Here, as an apology, I will give you this special inheritance orb," Saying that, she took out a purple coloured round orb that emitted a chilly aura from it. "But, Madam Kiira, you have promised to give it to first elder''s grandson," When the leader of the young elite, Griyeth, saw the orb in Madam Kiira''s hands, he was shocked and immediately reminded her about some promise. "I will give something else or I will apologise to him. No one is more important than my child," Madam Kiira had a light smile on her face as she looked at Sparrow and replied to Griyeth. ''Squawk squawk'' Hearing those words, Sparrow''s previous anger towards Madam Kiira and her tribe hadpletely vanished and she squawked at Kiira as though she was saying that there was no need for any inheritance orb. "If you don''t take this, I will be sad. So please don''t reject it," Madam Kirra already expected this from Sparrow, so she immediately used her emotional words and forced the inheritance orb into Sparrow''s feathers. Without a choice, Sparrow took the inheritance orb in her features and wanted to give it to Spirus to hold onto it for a while; however, before she could give it to her, the inheritance orb in her hand had dissolved into her feathers. ''Screech'' As soon as the purple orb dissolved into her feathers, Sparrow painfully screeched and fell to the ground. ''What is happening? What did they do to her?'' Spirus became anxious and immediately used her Diagnosis eyes to check on Sparrow. "What have you done to her?" Although she knew she was very weakpared to the other side, that doesn''t mean she would be silent even at the cost of her fellow teammate''s lives. "No need to worry Madam elemental spirit. She is going through the process of re-cultivation. You know that right?" ording to Kiira, the summoners'' group were very knowledgeable, so she didn''t exin about re-cultivation. However, what she doesn''t know was Spirus didn''t have a single clue about re-cultivation. Since the other party was very respectable and didn''t show any hostility, she didn''t say anything and looked at Sparrow. ''You are acting very high and mighty in front of him with your only spiritmander realm cultivation. Since you are from the summoner''s group I will endure this for now but I will remember this forever,'' Kiira was angered when Spirus didn''t give any reply to her even when she used the word ''Madam'' while addressing Spirus. Nevertheless, she controlled her anger and looked at Sparrow with a worried face just like Spirus. Not only her, but the rest of the ice tribe members were also having the same worried faces while looking at Sparrow. ''Why are these tribe members more worried? Something is not right here,'' Once in a while, she cast her gaze at the ice sparrow tribe members who had worried expressions that didn''t exactly match their face and felt there was something amiss. Sparrow''s screeches continued for a few minutes before a purple light shone from her body blinding everyone''s sight. The purple light emitted from sparrow''s bodysted for a while before it vanished and everyone''s sight returned. "What?" "She evolved," "It only took her a few minutes to transform into a humanoid form," "That''s right! I took three days to evolve and still my form isckingpared to her," Every young elite from the ice sparrow tribe was shocked at the evolved form of Sparrow and felt that Madam Kiira should not have given the inheritance orb to her. However, they were in no position to stop Madam Kiira as she was the tribe leader and the most powerful member in the tribe. ''This...this..how can she evolve into a perfect humanoid that looked exactly like our Netherworld Ice empress?'' Kiira was unable to believe what she was seeing in front of her and she was annoyed that she had evolved into a perfect humanoid. ''If I had known this, I would not have given her the inheritance orb,'' Kiira thought as she gritted her teeth; however, she controlled her irritation and annoyance and smiled at Sparrow, who now looked like a young human girl of around 18-years old. Behind her, tworge ckish-purple coloured wings and a single long gown that covered her exquisite body. Her face looked innocent and tears continued to roll down from her purple-coloured eyes that cover her fair skin. And the most important thing was there was a white crystal crown on her head which made all the sparrow tribe members shiver at the coldness emitted from it. In the crown, there was a purple coloured bead that emittedher energy from it. Overall, she looked like a queen that had just descended from theher world. "Madam Kiira, thanks for your valuable gift. All my previous anger towards the tribe has disappeared," After transforming into the humanoid form, Sparrow thanked Madam Kiira in her crisp voice that made Kiira, who had a hoarse voice feel jealous. "No need to thank me. It was the tribe''s fault for bully you excessively," However, she suppressed her jealousy and smilingly said to Sparrow. "Since your anger towards the tribe has disappeared, let''s go back to our tribe once and let''s eat your favouriteherworld berries," Kiira could not wait any longer and asked Sparrow to return to the ice sparrow tribe one to eat her favourite food. "Huh? This is¡­.," Sparrow became hesitate when she heard Madam Kiira''s words and looked at Spirus as though she was asking Spirus whether they go to the tribe or not. Chapter 418: Kiiras true colours

418 Kiira''s true colours

Even though she was now stronger than her previous self, she feared her fellow tribe members who had bullied her from her childhood and with knowing her, whenever she thought about her tribe, she felt some unknown fear that was deeply etched into her mind. It was like trauma to her; however, Sparrow suppressed that feeling and nodded at Madam Kiira and others. "Let''s go then," Madam Kiira was satisfied with Sparrow and looked at Spirus before flying in the direction of their tribe. Sparrow held Spirus''s hand and started following Madam Kiira and young elites. "Madam elemental spirit, where is your summoning master?" Kiira slowed down her flying speed and maintained the same speed of Sparrow. Then she slowly asked Spirus about her Summoning master. She didn''t dare to ask about the summoners'' group; however, she slowly started her n about forming a rtionship with the summoners'' group. "Huh?" Spirus raised her brows in response to Kiira''s question. "Our master is busy with some other things," However, Sparrow replied immediately about Ajax being busy on something. ''So, Sparrow became the contracted spirit beast under a summoner from the summoners'' group,'' Kiira felt both happy and irritated at the same time. Happy because there were more chances for her tribe to have some good rtions with the summoner''s group whereas the irritation was because Sparrow was able to form the contract with a summoner from the summoners'' group. From the beginning, Kiira hated Sparrow for having a high-level of bloodline despite being born to an unevolved ice sparrow. Due to that bloodline, the status of Sparrow''s mother, who was an unevolved being was directly promoted to an elder position by the upper echelon of the ice sparrow tribe. At that time, Kiira was also a recently promoted elder; however, all the tribe members and other elders were respectful to Sparrow''s mother who was not as powerful as Kiira. From then, the jealousy and hatred in Kiira''s heart increased and then her cruel path to the tribe leader had started. That same jealousy and hatred were spread to Sparrow but she suppressed it until the three-tribe contest was over and once Sparrow lost the contest, she showed her true colours. Now again, when she knew that Sparrow formed some kind of rtionship with the Summoners'' group, she once again put on her fake facade and started acting. "Oh. Summoner''s group members are always busy with something...Haha," While saying that, Kiiraughed, making Sparrow and Spirus confused. When Kiira saw their expressions she felt that she said something wrong and hurriedly tried to cover it. Albeit, it made Spirus''s and Sparrow''s confusion even more. "What happened to you, Madam elemental spirit?" Kiira felt something was amiss and politely asked Spirus. "What?is a summoners'' group?" To Kiira''s question, both Spirus and Sparrow asked with a puzzled expression on their faces. "What?" Kiira felt her ears were hearing some kind of joke. After making sure what she heard was right and she stopped all of a sudden in the mid-air. Along with her the rest of the ice sparrow tribe members also stopped and looked at Spirus and Sparrow with different expressions which made both of them feel something bad was about to happen. "You don''t know about Summoners'' group," Kiira was always good at suppressing her expression and capable of acting in any kind of situation. So, he wanted to make sure that these two didn''t have any rtion to the summoners'' group before she showed her true colours. "We don''t know what you are talking about," Spirus immediately checked for their surroundings looking for some of their allies toe to their rescue. ''Even if theye, I think, we should not stand a chance against her,'' Spirus was unable to find out the true cultivation of Kiira; however, since she was the tribe leader of the ice sparrow tribe, she felt that he must be at level 10 of the elite general realm. So, she felt there was no chance for them to escape unless their master was here. Although Ajax''s cultivation was less, he had many tricks under his sleeve and basically a god to his elemental spirits and spirit beasts, who had a solution for every critical situation. ''Master, we need your help,'' Without any hesitation, Spirus had asked for Ajax''s help. Before all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts started venturing, Ajax ordered them that ''unless you find the situation was very hard and it was impossible for you to escape, don''t hesitate to call me for help and try to stay alive until I arrive.'' After asking for help from Ajax, Spirus looked at Kiira and waited for a reply for her earlier words from Kiira. "Madam Kiira, what is Summoners'' group?" Even Sparrow became worried and asked Kiira about the summoners'' group. "Hahaha," Kiira startedughing like a maniac with her hoarse voice making Sparrow almost cry because what she never wanted to happen was happening again. Along with theugh, they heard, "So, you don''t belong to the summoners'' group. Good good good," Kiira was unable to control her anger and said ''good'' three times and looked at Spirus and Sparrow. "Since you both are going to die then there is no need for you to know about them," Kiira, who acted politely until now suddenly became ferocious and looked at both Spirus and Sparrow. ''Thud'' As soon as she said that, her strong aura came out of her body and suppressed Sparrow and Spirus, making them immobile and fall to the ground. "Everyone listen carefully. I don''t want them to die quickly but they should beg me to kill them immediately," Kiira already hated Sparrow and Spirus didn''t reply to her when she politely asked Spirus about something which made her embarrassed in front of tribe members. So, the moment she found out that they don''t have any rtion with the summoner group, she decided to kill them. But before that, she wanted to torture them before killing them. So, she ordered all her subordinates to torture them. "By the way, Madam Kiira, What about their summoning master? If he has any other powerful elemental spirits, then our tribe would be in trouble," The leader of the young elites, Griyeth slowly asked Kiira after mustering all his courage. "How can a summoning master of an elemental spiritmander realm would be that powerful. Moreover, he didn''t even send anyone to protect them. From this, I could guess that he would be utmost a general realm cultivator. So there is nothing to worry," Kiira, for the first time, was not irritated by her tribe member for giving his opinion; instead, she exined as though she had already nned everything. "Okay then Madam Kiira, you watch while we torture them to death," Griyeth kept his worried aside and rushed towards Spirus and Sparrow with his team members to start the torture. Chapter 419: Truly devasted Sparrow

419 Truly devasted Sparrow

"Spirus, what happened? Where are you?" Ajax became worried when he heard Sprius'' call of help and immediately asked through the voice transmission. However, no reply came from the other side which made Ajax even more worried. "Master, thank you," As he was worried about Spirus and Sparrow, he heard a voice of a less than 10-year-old small boy making hime out of his worried thoughts and looked at Twilight, who had awakened afterpletely absorbing the advanced essence pills. "No need to thank me. It is all because of your aptitude and talent. Let''s go, we have to save Spirus and Sparrow," Ajax didn''t waste any time and hurriedly asked Twilight to move towards the direction where Spirus and Sparrow were. Although Ajax didn''t know the exact location of them, he knew the ce where the talisman was destroyed and asked Twilight to move there. "Yes master," Twilight replied with his immature voice as he flew with Ajax and others. After consuming the advance essence pills, Twilight had awakened speech just like the three-eyed ghost fox. However, Ghost had awakened teleport whereas Twilight had awakened re-cultivation technique from his ancestral memories. "Twilight, use your full speed," Ajax was not in a mood to think about Twilight''s awakening as he was more worried about Spirus and Sparrow. .... "This is the ce. But where are they?" As Ajax was rushing towards the ce where Spirus had destroyed the talisman, there was already someone who was at that ce and looked at his surroundings. He was none other than Volcanis who was closer to Spirus when she destroyed the talisman, so he was able to reach there quickly. However, there was no one at that ce that made Volcanis raise his brows. ''There are no signs of fighting here, so they must be taken to some other ce,'' After looking at his surroundings, Volcanis came to a conclusion and ran in a specific direction in which he assumed Spirus and Sparrow were taken to. Simrly, the rest of Ajax''s spirit beasts and elemental spirits were also rushing to the ce which Volcanis had just left. Since they were very far, they were still taking the time to reach it. ... As Ajax and his team were rushing to help Spirus and Sparrow; however, both of them were surrounded by the group of young elites from the Ice Sparrow tribe. "Sister Innah, why are you doing this? What happened to Madam Kiira and the rest of the tribe members?" Sparrow''s heart broke once again by her tribe as tears continuously rolled down from her eyes while she asked Innah. When she was talking about elemental spirit, Innah looked at Spirus and mocked them. "Madam Kiira, so everything you said earlier was just an act," Sparrow tried to control her tears but she was unable to stop her tears and asked Madam Kiira who was hovering in the mid-air. "Yes, it is an act. So what? Because of you, I lost a good inheritance orb," Kiira looked at Sparrow with an icy expression. Earlier she thought that giving her an inheritance orb would solidify her rtionship with the summoners'' group; however, who would have thought that she didn''t have any rtion with the summoners'' group wasting her precious inheritance orb. ''Because of that, I have topensate for the first elder with something else. Damn it, I will kill you,'' Kiira''s anger increased every time she thought about the inheritance orb. "But..but¡­," Sparrow was devastated when she heard Kiira''s words and before shuttered in her words. ''sh'' ''Aargh'' Amidst her shuttering, a whip hadnded on her, which made her cry in pain. However, the pain she was feeling from her heartbreak was even more than the whip. ''Just you wait..unitl my masteres, he will kill all of you,'' Simrly, someone was whipping Spirus; however, Spirus controlled the pain and coldly said while gritting her teeth. When the young elites heard those words, they stopped for a while before looking at Madam Kiira for her orders. "My young elites, her summoning master will utmost be a general realm cultivator, so there is no need to worry. Since she looks like a tough nut to crack, increase the torture level before?killing her." Kiira mocked Spirus and ordered Griyeth and others to torture her. "Stop it," Sparrow was unable to watch the fierce shes form whips and shouted loudly to stop torturing Spirus. As soon as she finished her words, she looked at Kiira and said, "Madam Kiira, if you want to kill me then kill me but can you please let her go,?? Sparrow asked with her innocent face which was entirely covered with tears. "Huh? Why would I let her go? How dare she didn''t reply to me earlier when I was talking to her very politely?" Madam Kiira remembered about her previous conversation with Spirus and said with an angry face. "Did I ask you to stop? Why did you stop all of a sudden," However, Madam Kiira was shocked to see that the ice sparrow tribe members had stopped hitting Spirus which made her frown. "Huh? Why did we stop?" Griyeth became puzzled all of a sudden and looked at his teammates who were also in a frozen state before bing normal. "That''s right! There is something in her words that made our bodies freeze for a minute," Another elite pointed at Sparrow and muttered to others. "It''s because of bloodline, I guess," Griyeth nodded his head and looked at Sparrow and pondered about something. As for what he was thinking in his head, no one knows. "Griyeth, kill that elemental spirit and take her elemental spirit stone," Madam Kiira became impatient and ordered him all of sudden. "Yes, Madam Kiira," Griyeth stopped his thinking and looked at Spirus before taking out a purple coloured dagger from his space ring. ''Finally, she ordered me to take the elemental spirit stone, hehe'' Until now, Griyeth was feared that where she would take that invaluable elemental spirit stone, so he did not use much strength while hitting Spirus. He even allowed Spirus to heal with her healing skills and ordered all of his team members to follow his actions and covered Madam Kiira''s sight and wasted time for her final words. As soon as he heard that he could take the elemental spirit stone, he became excited and without hesitation took out a low-heaven grade dagger and moved towards Spirus to kill her. ''I am the one who made us fall into the current predicament. I should have just left and flown away; instead of rushing toward this fellow tribesmen,'' Sparrow became shocked when she looked at Griyeth''s intention to kill Spirus and started ming herself. ''No, I have to do something, I have to do something,'' Sparrow looked at the Griyeth who was only a few meters away from Spirus and became anxious. Chapter 420: Netherworlds Queen descends

420 Netherworld''s Queen descends

The powerful suppression from Madam Kiira disappeared without a trace and Sparrow slowly hovered into the air. With each passing second, the purple aura emitting from her increased. From tiny wisps, it became a dense smoke that surrounded the young elites from the ice sparrow tribe and made them freeze in their ces. "What''s happening? I can''t move," "I am also unable to move," "This purple smoke, it''s entering into me," ''Aargghh'' ''Aarghh'''' All the young elites became fearful and when the purple smoke entered into their bodies, they started crying in pain. "Huh? This smoke...no it''s not smoke. This is theherworld''s essence of nature but how...why....?" Madam Kiira''s mind was filled with many questions but before she could think clearly, she felt some suppression from the smoke that covered her. Theherworld''s essence was the purest essence of nature that was only avable in the deepest parts of theherworld. So, Kiira didn''t understand where that pure essence of nature came from. Moreover, she felt some deep fear towards the Sparrow when she looked at her current form. Unlike other pure essences which would benefit cultivators when absorbed, theherworld''s purest essence of nature could only be absorbed by the people with the purest bloodlines of theherworld. So, when the smoke entered into the bodies of the young elites from the Ice tribe, they were unable to use it for their cultivation and felt unbearable pain. "It''s suppressing my strength. No, I have to quickly kill her," Kiira felt her strength was decreasing with each second and immediately wanted to kill Sparrow so that the smoke would be decreased. The reason she felt her power decreased was because of the bloodline suppression from Sparrow. "Drain," Seeing the frozen ice tribe members, Spirus started using her only attack skill, ''Absorb and drain'' and started absorbing all the life from their body while recovering her body from the previous injuries. ''Damn it. If that elemental spirit kills them and joins hands with her, then I have to escape. No, I don''t want that,'' Kiira became anxious as she noticed what Spirus was doing and immediately thought of a n. ''That''s right! I just have to take her away and the smoke will stop reaching them,'' Kiira immediately forced Sparrow to move away from the young elites. When Sparrow and Kiira were nearly 1 killometer away from the group, the smoke surrounding the young elites disappeared and they started moving once again. Moreover, the bloodline suppression on them disappeared and their previous cultivation returned to them. Just when the dagger was about to touch Spirus'' neck, a huge fire asteroidnded on the ce where Griyeth was standing. Seeing the danger from the sky, Griyeth stopped his attack and dodged the asteroid and looked at an iing red elemental spirit. "Looks like I came at the right time," The elemental spirit was none other than Volcanis, who was anxiously rushed here to save Spirus and Sparrow. Even though he was worried, he didn''t show that on his face; instead, he put a smile on his face and said with a cool expression. "Huh?" All the young elites looked at Volcanis and frowned. "You are only in the elite spiritmander realm and dare to fight with us. What a joke. Innah, take two members and kill him," Griyeth frowned only for a while before mocking Volcanis and next order his partner to kill Volcanis. "Sure," Innah didn''t hesitate even for a second before picking two members and walking towards Vonis. There were a total of seven young elites from the ice sparrow tribe including Griyeth and Innah. So, after Innah picked two members, there were still four members left, who surrounded Sprius and watched Innah walk towards Volcanis. "Yeah, I am only an elite spiritmander, but your cultivations are also same," Volcanis shook his head at the foolishness of these people and mocked back. As soon as he finished his words, he used his fire asteroid skill. Unlikest time, this time nearly 10 fire asteroids came from the sky andnded on the group of young elites. "Watch out," Grieyth, who was the peak elitemander realm cultivator and the most powerful one in the young elites, was the first to react and warned his fellow teammates before dodging the fire asteroids. "Aargh" "Aargh" Although all became alert as soon as they heard Griyeth''s warning, a couple of young elites were unable to dodge in time and they were heavily injured making the other elites speechless. Along with the speechlessness, a small fear formed in their hearts when they looked at Volcanis, who was smiling at them without moving from his ce. "What? How are you this powerful?" They didn''t expect that the fire elemental spirit in front of them would use a powerful skill within a few seconds. It was like an instant release for them. "Your reflexes are fast! I thought only a couple of you would be able to dodge that. Looks like I need to use my strongest attack to finish all of you...sigh," Even though, Volcanis sighed, the expression on his face was apletely opposite one. It was covered with excitement. Because what he was searching for a while now had appeared in front of him and now he could fight to his heart''s content. He summoned his sword which waspletely surrounded by his bright red mes and without any hesitation, he used his powerful skill ''Inferno'' which would boost his overall battle capabilities and rushed towards the young elites. "No need to fear that fire elemental spirit. He is alone and we are seven members. So, it''s an easy win for us. Now attack," Griyeth, as a team leader, motivated his team with his words and rushed towards the iing Volcanis. "Hehe...Alone?" When he heard Grieyth''s words, Volcanis felt funny and smiled at them before starting his massacre. ''Huh?'' Griyeth frowned and immediately checked his surroundings. Except for Madam Kiira and Sparrow in the distance, he was unable to see anyone and heaved a sigh of relief. "No need to be fooled by his words. He is alone," After checking his surroundings, he resumed his rush towards Volcanis while encouraging his teammates. Soon, a fierce fight had been started between Volcanis and the seven young elites from the ice sparrow tribe. As for Spirus, she looked at Volcanis first and then looked into a specific direction and smiled before looking at Sparrow who was fighting as an equal with the tribe leader of the Ice sparrow tribe. ''Master, help Sparrow. She might not long much longer,'' Spirus looked at the direction from where Volcanis hade from and silently transmitted her voice to her master. ''Haha...Thank god, we came at the right moment. Within a minute, I would be in front of you,'' Soon, a voice rang in her head making her smile beautifully. Chapter 421: Summoning a demon king

421 Summoning a demon king

However, she was worried about Sparrow who was using some mysterious technique to increase her strength to the peak general realm and at the same time suppressed the strength of the Kiira to the level 1 of the elite general realm and was fighting as an equal. She felt that the boost and suppression might notst long. So, she asked her master to help Sparrow. "Huh? Another elemental spirit? Great," As Spirus was worrying about Sparrow, Madam Kiira looked at the single fire elemental spirit fighting her young elites and thought he would lose and resumed her fight with Sparrow. "Hehe...my master is here," On Sparrow''s expressionless face, a beautiful smile appeared and at the same time, her aura started rising as though she was hiding her strength from earlier. "What? Your strength is increasing¡­.no, it''s my strength that is decreasing," Kiira felt her strength was decreasing once again and now her strength became the peak of the level 10 general realm which was now simr to Sparrow. "This is my strongest skill but the problem is I original strength will be decreased by a single minor realm to one major realm. Also, I will be in a weakened state for a while. Since my master ising here, I can go all out and kill you," Sparrow said with a smile making Kiira anxious. After Sparrow re-cultivated into the humanoid form, her skill Netherworld''s Qween had changed a little and became too overpowered; however, the side effects were also huge. If she was lucky, she would just lose a single minor realm in her cultivation. If not, then she would lose a single major realm permanently. The reason she didn''t use it until now was she was waiting for Ajax toe and look after her after she used her overpowered skill. So, she used her skill and maintained a stalemate with Kiira. "Child, I will let them go. You can go wherever you want, I won''t disturb you," Madam Kiira felt that unless she used her powerful skills, she would not win against Sparrow. So, she decided to let them go. "Huh?" When she heard Kiira''s words, Sparrow paused for a second and looked at Kiira, who looked very pitiful now making Sparrow hesitate. Sparrow valued rtions very much, so when she saw Kiira''s pitiful act, she didn''t know what to do since she was the one who had trained her from her childhood. "I will decide what to do after knowing an answer to my question" Suppressing her emotions, Sparrow maintained a cold look on her face as she said to Kiira. "Sure," Madam Kiira could use her powerful skills to kill Sparrow and others but the problem was once she used those skills, she would be powerless for a while and it might threaten her tribe leader position. "Did you kill my mother?" Sparrow''s aura became even more intense as it made Madam Kiira sweat. "I don''t know. One day, she mysteriously died as for the reasons, it was not found till date?" Madam Kiira became anxious as she answered Sparrow''s question. "Sigh...You really don''t want to answer my question. Looks like I have to use my skill and learn the truth from you," Sparrow sighed as she made some mysterious signs with her hands and the purple smoke became even more coloured as it entered into Kiira''s head. "Now say," Sparrow disappeared from her ce and appeared in front of Kiira and coldly asked. "I killed her," When the smoke entered into her, Madam Kiira''s eyes became lifeless as he slowly answered Sparrow''s question. "Why?" Sparrow''s heart became cold when she heard Madam Kiira''s words and asked the reason for killing her mother, who was very kind with all the tribe members and she didn''t even be arrogant even after she got an elder position. Even though she wanted to kill Kiira right at that moment, she wanted to know the truth before killing her. "I really don''t know who killed her. Just because I agreed to let you go, that doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want to me," Kiira''s lifeless eyes, became normal again and retorted that she doesn''t know who killed her before warning her. "Now, I don''t want to know any more reasons. I just want to kill you," Sparrow''s innocent face became cold and aloof as though thest thread to her ice sparrow tribe was severed right at this moment and didn''t even hesitate to kill Madam Kiira. "Hehe...Kill me...you. What a joke! Let me show you my true power," Kiira finally stopped caring about her tribe leader position and decided to kill her using her powerful skills. As soon as she said those words, she cut her wrist as light-purple coloured blood rushed out. "I summon theherworld demon king by sacrificing some of my blood which contains theherworld Ice sparrow empress bloodline," The blood didn''t fall to the ground; instead, it disappeared in the mid-air and surprisingly a purple-coloured being with two long horns with skeletal armour and a bone sword in his hands. "Finally, someone summoned me...Hahaha," The being slowly walked through the portal and soon everyone was able to see the original size of the purple-coloured being which gave shivers to the young elites and even Volcanis felt some deep fear from that being. He was 10 meters tall with a very strong body and had a very ugly face. Just looking at it would make others unable to sleep at night. "Demon, Kill her and then you can consume her pure bloodline" Kiira also had some fear towards this summoned being of hers and carefully said her every word. ''Hehe...Sure,'' The purple-coloured being looked at Sparrow and became excited as though he sensed some tasty meal. ''If I absorb her bloodline I can have a breakthrough in my bloodline,'' The purple-coloured being didn''t waste any time and rushed towards Sparrow as he wanted to swallow her in a single bite. "Huh? A demon summoning?" Sparrow became alert when she saw the hideous demon-like being that was rushing towards her, and immediately disappeared from her ce and appeared behind Kiira. "Even though you have been a tribe leader for long, your intelligence is still not enough," Sparrow extended her hand at an incredible speed and clutched Kiira''s neck and mocked her. "Haha...What do you think, you are doing now?" Kiira, for the first time, was very calm when she heard Sparrow''s words and replied toSparrow with a smile on her face. "What will I do? Of course, I will kill you and the summoned being will return back to his world," Although Sparrow was just re-cultivated a few minutes back, she managed to awaken some ancestral memories and understood how this summoning would work. As long as she kills Kiira, the summoned being would disappear. So, she immediately rushed to kill Kiira. "Haha...You are still a child," To Sparrow''s surprise, Kiiraughed calmly which made Sparrow increase her alertness. Chapter 422: Not a summoning?

422 Not a summoning?

Sparrow felt a bad premonition in her heart with Kiira''s words; however, she suppressed it and coldly replied, "I will kill you and see what will happen." After saying those words, Sparrow increased the force in her grip around Kiira''s neck. As she summoned the demon king, she originally suppressed power was still decreased and overall her power was almost equal to Sparrow. So, Sparrow was easily able to handle Kiira with a single hand. "You can''t kill me...If you kill me, the summoned demon king will go berserk and kill you for sure," Even at that moment, Kiira didn''t feel any fear towards death as she said that if she died then Sparrow and herpanions would die for sure. "I don''t believe you," Sparrow didn''t believe her words as she thought that Kiira was just dying time and directly crushed Kiira''s windpipe. ''Kacha'' ''Thud'' Cracking sounds were heard by all the onlookers and after that, they saw Madam Kiira''s body fall to the ground with a ''thud'' sound. Looking closely one could observe, in the lifeless eyes of Kiira there was still disbelief and not even in her wildest dreams she didn''t expect that she would die in the hands of someone whom she hated to her core. If she had known she would die today, she would not evene out of her seclusive cultivation; however, there was no medicine for regret for her as she had already died in the hands of her ex-disciple. "What?" "How can she kill her Madam Kiira?" "Is she that powerful?" "But Madam Kiira was a peak elite general realm cultivator," Shock, Disbelief, confused filled in everyone''s faces as they muttered while looking at the dead body of their tribe leader. "You don''t need to worry. You will all meet her soon," As they were muttering, a loud voice woke them up from their mixed thoughts only to see a few huge fire asteroids were just a few meters away from them. "Dodge, everyone," Although Griyeth reacted soon and alerted others, no one was able to dodge as there was not enough time for them to escape the iing fire asteroids. ''Aarghh'' ''Arghh'' ''Arghh'' Soon, the ce around Spirus and Volcanis was filled with painful cries and every single one''s bodies were caught on fire. Except for Griyeth and Innah, who were the strongest among all the young elites of the ice sparrow tribe, all were dead as they were turned into ashes. Even though they were alive, Griyeth and Innah were severely injured and would notst for more than a few breaths. "Aren''t you ashamed to attack us while we were distracted by her tribe leader''s death?" Innah looked at Volcanis and asked him with a resentful tone. "I thought Elemental spirits are noble and will fight in a fair manner. Looks like they are all rumours, hehe," What cultivator fears a lot? Of course, they are inner demons that were developed in their heart. Inner demons hinder the cultivator from being able to break through their realms and they would remain at the same cultivation for years. So, they fear these inner demons. Inner demons might be formed by some of the things that cultivators feel ashamed of or their inner guilt about something they did in the past. "Hahaha," Hearing the words from Griyeth and Innah, Volcanis unable to control hisughter and startedughing out loud making both of the ice sparrow tribe members confused. Amidst their confusion, Volcanis continued, "Stop your bullshit. Earlier when you were torturing Sprius and was about to kill her by surrounding. What was that? An equal fight. Her cultivation was even less than anyone of your teammates." Although their words would have worked on someone like Sparrow or Spirus they used them on Volcanis, who had a steady foundation on his cultivation and had a much clear idea on his future [ath. So, those words don''t work on him. At the end of the sentence, Volcanis snapped his fingers and two small purple -coloured fireballs appeared. "I will not make your tribe leader and others wait for you any longer. Have a good journey," The two small fireballsnded on both of them and within no time they turned into ashes. ''Spirus, did you heal your injuries?'' After killing them, Volcanis walked towards Spirus and helped her to stand up and inquired about her injuries. "I am fine...but...look there," Spirus nodded her head and pointed her finger at the purple-coloured demon king with a worried face. Only a few breaths passed from the time, Madam Kiira was killed and there was not a single sign of that purple-coloured demon king''s disappearance. When Kiira was killed, just like Sparrow, Volcanis and Spirus thought that the purple-coloured demon king would be returned to its world. However, to their surprise, the 10-meter demon king was still at his ce with an excited expression on his face. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' The huge demon king rushed towards the dead body of Madam Kiira and started devouring it at an incredible pace. "What is he doing?" Soon, Volcanis and Spirus joined with Sparrow before Spirus asked Volcanis with a puking expression on her face. "Since the summoner is dead, then the summoned demon king should return to his own world, right?" Before Volcanis could say something, Sprius suppressed her expression and asked the most important question. Among all the elemental spirits in Ajax''s arsenal, Volcanis and Cerauno were considered most knowledgable when ites to summoning, so Spirus asked Volcanis and waited for his answer. "Yes...when a summoner dies, there are only two things that might happen. Once they would die along with the summoner," Volcanis looked at the purple-coloured demon king who had justpleted devouring Madam Kiira''s corpse and stood at his position without moving as though he was waiting for something. "What is the second oue?" Spirus hurriedly asked as she wanted to know what was happening in front of her. "The second oue is, if the summoner injects all his essence of nature and break the contract at thest second of his death, then that particr elemental spirit will be returned to the elemental world or its own world," Volcanis didn''t make Spirus and Sparrow wait for much longer before he said about the second oue. "That''s I know already. But what''s happening here ispletely out of my knowledge," Spirus nodded her head as she agreed with Volcanis and asked about the present scenario. Sparrow didn''t talk as she was carefully listening to their words to know more about summoning. "As for the present case, we have mistaken the act of that tribe leader summoning the demon king as summoning; however, it is not summoning," Volcanis observed the purple-coloured demon king who almost looked like a high-level elemental spirit. Only when he had observed him from a close distance, he was able to say that he was not an elemental spirit and what Kiira had done earlier was not summoning. "Then, what is it?" Spirus and Sparrow anxiously asked at the same time. Chapter 423: Demon ritual

423 Demon ritual

"It is called Demonic ritual and what we are seeing now was not an actual being but it was just an avatar of a powerful being from another world," After saying that, the mes on Volcanis body became intense as he used his skill ''Inferno'' which would increase his battle prowess by a factor of two. "Just wait here. We have to kill it before that thing can absorb all the energy from the corpse it has just devoured," With that, he disappeared from his position and appeared in front of the 10-meter demon king and shed his fire sword at it. ''Clink'' However, the sword didn''t even make a scratch on the body of the purple-coloured being which made Volcanis move away from it immediately without any hesitation. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After maintaining some safe distance from the purple-coloured being, Volcanis used two skills ''Fireball'' and ''Fire asteroids'' at the demon king. "Boom" Volcanis was very careful while using both skills and targeted at a single spot to deal some heavy damage to it. As expected, attacking at the same spot made arge wound to the purple-coloured being''s body. "Who dared to attack me while I was cultivating?" That purple-coloured being became angry and immediately opened his eyes and red at Volcanis and waved his hand at him. As soon as he waved his hand, the wound on his body healed immediately and it appeared as though there was no injury prior to this. "Instant healing?" Volcanis was shocked to see that injury on the demon king body disappear right in front of his eyes. What''s more, the healing waspleted in a couple of seconds making Volcanis and others anxious. "You pests wants to kill me. What a joke!" The purple-coloured being moved from his ce and walked towards Volcanis and others and called them as pests. "Listen carefully, you are going to die in the hands of the great demon king, Arkonnan from the Netherworld. You can die proudly since you are dying in my hands. It could be considered as an achievemetn for you," The purple-coloured being walked slowly due to his huge size and announced his name. "Now go die," When he was still 100 meters away from Volcanis and others, the demon king named Arkonnan summoned a huge demonic sword out of nowhere and shed at them. "Spirus, Sparrow, be careful," Volcanis tried to push them aside; however, he was unable to move from his position as though something was making him unable to move. "Volcanise, we are unable to move," Just like Volcanis, Sparrow and Spirus were unable to move from their ces as though they were rooted to the ground. "Master, where are you," ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''Boom'' Just when the sword was about tond on them, a light-brown coloured shield appeared out of nowhere and blocked the huge demonic sword. However, it only blocked the huge demonic sword for a couple of seconds before a huge st appeared that made the light-brown coloured shield disappear. "Huh? More pests?" The purple-coloured being was not shocked by the appearance of the neers but what surprised him was that an elemental spirit with only a spiritmander realm cultivation managed to block his huge demonic sword. The neers were none other than two golden bear kings and the earth elemental spirit, it. He used his level 3 skill ''Earth shield'' and was barely able to block the huge demonic sword. "Hello guys," Even though it didn''t have any strength or confidence in winning against the purple-coloured being used, strength was presently unknown, he still maintained his usual smile on his chubby face and greeted everyone. "Huh? Who is this?" it looked at Sparrow and asked Spirus about her. "Don''t you recognize me, little brother?" Before Spirus could reply, Sparrow replied to it in a sad tone. "Hmm...you must be Sister Sparrow. So, you finally evolved," it immediately answered, taking the hints from Volcanis from behind. "Good. Let''s talk after we escape from this situation," Sparrow smiled and looked at the purple-coloured being who looked like he was thinking about something and said to Volcanis, "Didn''t master give escape talismans? Let''s use them." "We can''t use them as the space around us waspletely sealed," Volcanis shook his head and looked at the direction from when he had arrived and continued saying, "Moreover, we are still unable to move." "Then what should we do?" Spirus asked as she felt she was unable to help her teammates in any situation until now. "We hope our summoning masteres here quickly and do something," Volcanis said his inner thoughts. Everyone agreed with his words and looked at the purple-coloured being who still stood motionless. ''Sigh...this avatar doesn''t even have 10 percent of my strength. Even an elemental spirit with low cultivation was able to block my demonic sword,'' Arkonnan sighed as he thought back to his original strength and his present strength. ''Once I kill that humanoid and absorb all of her bloodline I can increase my strength to 12-15 percent easily and then start my conquering of this five elemental word...Hahaha,'' Arkonnan, the great demon king from theherworld started his n and came out of his thoughts. Coming out of his thoughts, he looked at Sparrow, who was his precious meal that could increase his power to at least 12 percent and at most 15 percent. ording to his calctions, 20 percent of his original strength was enough to conquer the whole five elemental world. ''Before that, I have to kill these pests and enjoy my meal to my heart''s contestter,'' He looked at Volcanis and others and without wasting any time he decreased his size to three meters. "What? He is shrinking," Everyone became anxious when they looked at the purple-coloured being that became a regr demon size. ''Die'' As soon as his size decreased to three meters, he didn''t waste much time, before disappearing from his position and appeared in front of bid Golden bear king and punched him. The punch was not very powerful but the golden bear king was directly flying away 10-15 meters before bing unconscious. ''Roar'' The small golden bear roared at the purple-coloured being before rushing towards his father. "Huh? You are a very courageous little one," the demon king looked at the small bear and shook his head before rushing at it to kill it. "No one had ever dared to talk back to me and you dared to roared at him," As he was rushing at it, he loudly said as the demonic sword in his hand shed at the small golden bear. "Little fuzzball," Except for it no one was able to move from his ce as he tried to save the little golden bear; however, he was unable to catch up the purple-coloured being''s speed. Before it could even reach half of the distance he purple-coloured being had already reached little fuzzball and waved his demonic sword at little fuzzball. Chapter 424: Master comes to the rescue

424 Masteres to the rescue

''Puchk'' ''Aarghh'' Just when the demonic sword was about tond on the small Golden bear king, a shining white spear came from the distance and pierced into the purple-coloured being at an incredible speed. The spear prated through the purple-coloured being making a small hole in him that made him cry painfully. "What is this?" The demon king stopped his attack and immediately ced his hands on the hole in the center of his chest and looked at the white spear that was hovering in front of him. "Th..this is¡­," The demon king looked at it for a few seconds and felt that he had seen it somewhere before and became shocked after he guessed where he had seen it; however before he could finish his sentence the while spear once again rushed into the purple colour being and made another hole. "Aarghh," The spear didn''t stop its piercing with two holes but still continued making dozens of holes into the purple-coloured demon king without giving him any chance to use his skills. ''Thud'' It only stopped when the demon king fell down with lifeless eyes. On his hideous face, there was an indescribable expression as though he was still unable to ept that this avatar which had only entered the five elemental world a few minutes earlier was dead without a chance to know who his enemy was. "Finally, I can move...Hahaha," "Yes, I can also move too," "He is dead just like that?" "We are finally safe," "Isn''t that master''s spear?" "Yes, then he must be somewhere near to us," When Volnis and others saw a familiar spear kill the purple-coloured demon king without much difficulty, they felt ease and their bodies which were previously fixed to the ground were now able to move again. "Hello everyone, how are you?" As they spoke to each other and said their thoughts about the spear, they heard a familiar voice from a distance. "Master, thanks for saving us," Volcanis immediately kneeled on a single leg and thanked Ajax at the same time, Volcanic thought that he was still weak and couldn''t even save himself. ''I should train even harder. Probably it''s time I should train in the battle tower,'' Volcanis swore that he should enter the Battle tower and challenge various monsters to increase his strength. It was none other than Ajax who came at the right moments and without any hesitation, he used his Heavens destroyer spear form and along with his level 2 spear dao he killed the demon king without giving any chance for him to escape or use any of his skills. "No need to thank me. It''s my duty to save my elemental spirits and spirit beasts," Ajax jumped from Twilight and moved forward to help Volcanis to stand up and smilingly said to him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing the avatar of the demon king, Arkonnan. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing an avatar of the ascended being. Gained 1 spirit point. ''Ding, A demonic avatar doll is sent to the host''s inventory as a reward. ''Ding, The host''s evolved sparrow can use the body of the avatar to make it as her summon. ''Ding, No essence of nature was found in the dead body. So, the host can''t gain any essence of nature. "Huh?" Just as he stopped all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts from bowing in front of him, Ajax''s head was filled with system notifications from his previous kill. ''Avatar of the demon king? Ascended being?'' Ajax had many questions in his head with all the new system notifications and just thinking about them his breathing became heavy. Avatar was simr to the clone of a particr cultivator; however, there was one major difference between an avatar and a clone. For a clone, a cultivator needs to give an order and the clone would follow that order without any thinking whereas an avatar had a partial consciousness of the cultivator that had the capacity to think on its own but it could never be more powerful than that cultivator and have to listen to everymand of the cultivator. This was one of the many basic knowledge he had gained from Elder Boron and Ajax still remembered the major difference between them as he was asked by Elder Boron about it many times. "Everyone, let''s go back to the ce where Spirus had crushed the talisman. The rest of the team mighte there," Ajax suppressed his excitement to look at the rewards he haad gained from killing the purple-coloured being and order his teammates to return back to the ce where Spirus tore the talisman. "Yes, master," All of them nodded their heads as they had understood that their venturing had officiallye to an end. "By the way, it you don''t need to worry about Big Fuzzball he is still alive but unconscious. Give this pill to him and he will wake up soon," Ajax noticed that it was looking at the unconscious golden bear king with a worried look on his face. So, he gave an advanced essence pill and ordered it to give it to the golden bear king. "Yes, big brother Ajax," it became excited when he heard Ajax''s words and immediately rushed towards the Golden bear kings and forcefully threw the pill into the big golden bear king and patiently waited for him to wake up. "it, join with us after he wakes up," Ajax ordered it and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar being in his team. "Sparrow?" Ajax was not 100 percent sure, but he asked anyway with an excited look on his face. "Yes, master. This is me," Sparrow came forward and replied to Ajax with a small smile on her innocent face. That''s right. After killing Madam Kiira, her anger, frustration and all other negative emotions had disappeared into thin air and her previous innocent face had returned. "Good. Finally, I canplete the initial step of my mission without much difficulty," Ajax didn''t ask how she had gained the re-cultivation technique and praised her before thinking about his n to conquer the three tribes. Since Sparrow was now evolved with 100 percent purified bloodline, Ajax felt that it won''t be that hard for Sparrow to be a tribe leader of the Ice sparrow tribe. "Sparrow, see whether you have some use with that dead thing over there," Soon Ajax remembered thest notification from the earlier series of notifications and asked Sparrow while pointing his finger at the demon king''s avatar. "I feel that I can use it but I am not sure. Let me go near to it and see, master," Sparrow nodded her head and moved towards the corpse of the demon king''s avatar. ''Thud'' As soon as Sparrow went near to the corpse, she fell to the ground. "Huh? What happened to her?" Ajax and his summons rushed towards Sparrow who became unconscious all of a sudden with a face full of worry. Chapter 425: Mad Rush

425 Mad Rush

''Swoosh'' Spirus nodded her head and closed her eyes before using her skill as a ray of green light entered into Sparrow''s body. As for the rest of Ajax''s summons, they looked at the process with worried expressions. ''Phew...'' It didn''t take much time for Spirus to open her eyes and released a mouthful of air as though she was tired after using her skill. "Anything serious?" Ajax was almost sure that Sparrow was unconscious because of overusing her skills in the earlier battle; still, he wanted to confirm with Sprius because he felt something was amiss in Sparrow''s condition. "Sparrow became unconscious because her spirit consciousness became empty," Spirus started her exnation and continued, "However, there is something I had noticed in her spirit consciousness." "Huh? What is it?" Ajax raised his brows and asked about it. "Her spirit consciousness is decreasing slowly," Spirus said with a concerned look on her face. "What? Spirit consciousness is decreasing?" Ajax became shocked and immediately used the system''s feature ''Pay to know'' to know what''s happening with Sparrow. ''Ding, Sparrow is now receiving the bacsh of her Skill ''Netherworld''s Queen'' which she used to the full extent. ''Ding, Her cultivation will be decreased by something between a single minor realm to a single major realm. "Huh? So, it''s like this," Ajax finally understood and bitterly shook his head and used an advanced essence pill which could increase the essence of nature in her spirit consciousness in the shortest time possible. After a few breaths of time, Sparrow finally opened her eyes and her spirit consciousness waspletely filled with the essence of nature. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Sparrow (Netherworld Ice sparrow) Cultivation:-?Level 5 elitemander realm. "What? Decrease of five minor realms?" Ajax felt it was a huge bacsh but thinking that there was an even bigger bacsh like a decrease of the single major realm, he felt it was okay. After she evolved into a humanoid form, Sparrow re-cultivated from the beginning once again and reached the peak elitemander realm and only one step away from reaching the general realm. However, now it had be level 5 of the elitemander realm. "No need to worry master, it was all worth it. I was able to take revenge for my mother. That''s enough for me," Seeing the bitter look on Ajax''s face, Sparrow slowly said about her revenge and how she was feeling free from everything now. "Yes, master," Sparrow nodded her head and made some mysterious symbols with her hands and the corpse in front of her started moving and slowly stood up making Ajax and others alert. "Greetings, My queen," However, to their surprise, the purple-coloured being bowed to Sparrow and greeted as his Queen. "Oh" Ajax and others were surprised at the scene in front of him and looked at Sparrow as though they were asking what was happening. "Hehe" Seeing the surprised looks on Ajax and others, Sparrow smiled beautifully and exined, "I sent some of my spirit consciousness into his body and now, he will follow my every order." "Haha...Wonderful," Ajaxughed out loud and praised Sparrow for her skill. "Roar," Just as Ajax praised Sparrow, all of them heard a loud roar that was filled with anger. "Thud thud thud" Everyone looked in the direction of the roar and saw a huge Gold and brown coloured bear rushed towards them at an incredible speed. "Fuzzball, stop," it immediately thought the reason why the Golden bear king was behaving like this and tried to stop him but it''s words were unable to stop him. "Twilight, stop him," The golden bear king in front of him was way bigger than the golden bear king he had seen earlier. So, without any hesitation, Ajax ordered Twilight to stop the golden bear king. ''Roar'' Twilight roared and rushed towards the iing golden bear king and collided with it in order to stop it. "Boom" As soon as both the huge spirit beasts collided a huge sound resounded in the surrounding and a huge force generated from the collision which made all the nearby particles to fly away. "Fuzzball, stop. The purple-coloured being is on our side now," it immediately jumped from a sand dune to the back of the golden bear king and tried to stop him with his words. "Roar" "Fuzzball, the one who knocked you out earlier is killed by me and Sparrow made him into a servant," Ajax understood that the golden bear king was very angry at the purple-coloured being for making him unconscious earlier and tried to make him understand his words. "Oh. Sorry master, I was very angry and didn''t notice you," The golden bear king looked at his surroundings and apologised to Ajax for being behaving like a savage. "I can understand. Looks like you have awakened a new skill from my advanced essence pill," Ajax nodded his head and observed the golden bear king. "Yes, master. I have awakened speech and a new kill," Golden bear king returned back to his original proud behaviour and proudly said to Ajax. ''Ding, Skill name:- Mad rush. Description:- When used, all the battle prowess along with the size of the user bes double. "Good," ording to Ajax, any skill that could increase the battle prowess of the cultivator or spirit beast or elemental spirit without any side-effects, then they were good skills. "Okay. Since everything here is finished, let''s go and meet up with others," Ajax looked at his surroundings and ordered everyone to move. With that, he jumped onto twilight along with those who were not capable of flight also mounted twilight whereas Spirus, Sparrow, Snow flew on their own. "It looks like Sparrow can store the purple-coloured being in her spirit consciousness," Ajax was not much surprised by Sparrow''s mysterious techniques and skills because she belonged to theherworld. Netherworld signifies a mysteriousness among all the other greater worlds and all the beings in theherworld had their own set of mysterious skills. ...¡­. Some unknown ce in the Netherworld. "Huh? Someone killed my avatar. Who is that?" In an area that waspletely filled with purple-coloured smoke that was even thicker than the smoke summoned by Sparrow earlier. Amidst the smoke sat a figure that was unable to be seen by anyone clearly because of the thick purple-coloured smoke. As Ajax and his team were moving towards a meeting point with the rest of his summons, in theherworld, a figure opened his eyes and looked into the distance. "What''s more theypletely severed my connection with the avatar which is almost impossible to any of the residents of the five elemental world," the figure raged at the actions of his avatar''s killer and stood up from his position. Chapter 426: Avatar doll

426 Avatar doll

"Who is that powerful to kill my avatar without me noticing them?" The figure muttered as he thought back to thest images that his avatar had seen before his death. "Even though I don''t know who killed my avatar, the weapon is very familiar to me. It looks like the legendary grade Heaven''s destroyer spear that killed many of my kin in the great war of the humans and demons." The figure talked to himself in an angry tone. "Looks like I can only take revenge when the barriers to the five elemental world are lifted," The figure felt helpless as he knew that he won''t be able to kill the killer, who had used the legendary grade spear to kill his avatar. "But I will not forget this incident until I kill you," The figure suppressed his rage and went back to his meditation. And What methods he would use to find Ajax in the five elemental world, no one knows. ...¡­.. As the original demon king Arkannon swore to kill Ajax in the future, Ajax was rxing on the back of Twilight and opened the inbox to read all the previous notifications he had got from the system. "I got a spirit point for killing an ascended being''s avatar. Is he from the greater world? Also, what are these spirit points used for?" Ajax started thinking about Ascended beings and rted them to the greater worlds. And another thing that was bugging him was these spirit points that he still doesn''t know where to use them. ''Ding, The host is still not powerful enough to know about them. So, focus on improving your cultivation. ''What? Don''t give me that same answer every time,'' Ajax was frustrated at the system''s reply and he took a deep breath and asked the system, ''At least give me some hint about it.'' To Ajax''s words, there was no reply from the system making Ajax shook his head and stopped bothering the system. ''Ding, Spirit points can be used as a currency in a special system feature that will be unlocked only if the host was powerful enough. As Ajax thought there won''t be any reply from the system, to his surprise, the system had given some hint that matched his earlier assumption and he felt excited about the special system feature. Ajax already assumed that these spirit points would be used to exchange some valuable items from the system and his eagerness to be strong had received another boost. ''So, I need to umte as many spirit points as needed before that new special feature unlocks,'' Ajax muttered silently in his head before looking at the other system notification. ''Ding, Item name:- Avatar doll. Owner:- Ajax Characteristics:- Demon Current strength:- Level 1 of the Elitemander realm Description:- Possess all the skills that the demon king Arkannon has in his arsenal but much weak version. Note:- With the host''s strength the doll''s strength also increases. ''Huh? I am the owner? When did I be that?'' Ajax was puzzled at the information he had read about the avatar doll and thought in his head, ''Maybe it is a non-transferable item.'' "Anyway, it will be useful for me," Ajax concluded that the doll could be useful for him; however, he knew that he could not use it in the open as it might make him look like a demonic cultivator. Unless he didn''t have any chance or he became a powerful individual, he could not use it openly. ''Ding, Do you want to refine the avatar doll? Just as he was about to store it in his inventory, he got a system notification informing him about refining the doll. ''Yes'' Without any hesitation, Ajax agreed to it and within a few seconds, he imedplete ownership of the doll with a single drop of his blood. As soon as his blood touched the avatar doll, the purple-coloured avatar doll that looked like a demon turned into a human that looked almost simr to Ajax but the hair of that doll still remained purple, unlike Ajax''s hair which was pitch ck in colour. "Huh? It transferred into a human," Ajax was surprised at first and next he was excited as he could use this doll in the open without fear of others thinking him as a demonic cultivator. "Let''s look at how it looks," With a thought from Ajax, the avatar doll in his hand started increasing and soon became like a normal human that looked exactly like Ajax. "Huh? Master, is he your brother," Snow and others looked at the Ajax with ck hair and asked with puzzled expressions on their face. Until now, they didn''t bother with Ajax as they knew that their master had a habit of talking to himself after every single battle of theirs. Sometimes, he would shout angrily and at other times, he would be excited and smile from ear to ear without any restrain. However, they suddenly noticed a human that looked almost simr to their master and felt it was their master''s brother. "No, he is my avatar...Hehe," Ajax replied with a smile and looked at the new avatar that looked exactly like him. With a handsome face, average body and with more than 1.5 meters of height. ''Wait a second. I can use him to finish my conquering mission of the Shixato wilds, right?'' Out of nowhere, Ajax suddenly thought of a n to how to use this new avatar of his. Unlike dolls, Avatars could think and they could make decisions on their own that would benefit the owner of the avatar. So, Ajax doesn''t need to worry about his avatar making any mistakes. ''All he has to do is apany my three contracted spirit beasts and transfer the data to him about the progress of his mission,'' Ajax thought as he recalled the information he had gained from the earlier refinement of the avatar doll. It was not as simple as Ajax thought when ites to using an avatar. When Ajax leaves his contracted spirit beasts in the five elemental world, he wouldpletely lose contact with them and he would have toe back to the five elemental world or wait for the system notification that would only notify him when the mission waspleted. However, with the help of his new avatar, he could know the progress of the mission with the help of the bond he had shared with his avatar. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he could give orders or anything to his avatar or his spirit beasts or his elemental spirits. Simply, it could be considered as a one-waymunication where his avatar could send him the progress of the mission once in a while. "Master, we are here," As Ajax was thinking about his conquering mission, he heard twilight''s voice. Chapter 427: Challenging the battle tower once again

427 Challenging the battle tower once again

"Looks like everyone has worked hard and achieved some increment in your strengths in a very short time," Looking at the cultivations of every spirit beasts and elemental spirit, Ajax satisfyingly nodded his head. That''s right! Even though Ajax asked all of them to go and rx for some time, except for a few everyone had worked hard and raised their cultivations a little bit. His elemental spirits, Nite, Dabrus had sessfully entered into the spiritmander realm. Bane and Cerauno''s strength had increased by a single minor realm each. When it came to spirit beasts, his new spirit beasts didn''t have any increment in their ranks but just with a look, Ajax could say they had be powerful. Golden bear king and his child had the greatest increment in their strength as the little golden bear consumed various earth-elemental treasure and the father golden bear king had consumed the advanced essence pill. Simrly, everyone had some increment in their strength. "Okay guys, do you want to venture more or do you want to take rest?" Ajax looked at a group of elemental spirits and spirit beasts and asked them about what they want to do next. Since Ajax didn''t have any important work with them at the moment, he asked them to choose for themselves. "We want to rest, for now, master" Everyone looked at each other for a moment, they said in unison that they want to take rest in the inner world. ''Huh? Looks like everyone had gained from that little bit of strength in their short venture,'' Ajax was surprised to see that all of them would choose one option and said, "Okay. Cultivate well in the inner world." One by one, Ajax had sent everyone into the inner world. Leaving behind, Volcanis, Snow, Twilight with him as they wanted to do something. Snow wanted to apany him, so he let her stay. Next, Ajax looked Volcanis and asked him, "Say now, what do you want to ask?" "Summoning master, I want to enter the batter tower to train in it," Volcanic bowed as he requested Ajax about the battle tower. "Huh? Do you want to challenge the battle tower? Sure," Ajax nodded his head and he wasn''t surprised a bit with Volcanis'' words. Immediately Ajax thought to send Volcanis into the battle tower. ''Ding, Volcanic has already challenged the battle tower and needs to wait for a month for his next challenge. However, what Ajax had received was a notification from the system that rejected his request of sending Volcanis into the battle tower. When Volcanis heard Ajax''s words he was disappointed. Not at Ajax but disappointed at his fate that didn''t allow him to be stronger quickly. ''Ding, However, the host can use 2000 units of the essence of nature to send the challenger for the second time in the same month. Note:- With each time, the amount of essence of nature needed to pay will be increased by 2 times. Just when Ajax was feeling sorry for Volcanis, the system sent another notification that made Ajax excited and immediately said to Volcanis, "Haha...your luck was good, Volcanic. You can enter the battle tower now." Without waiting for Volcanis'' reply, Ajax immediately used his 2000 units of the essence of nature to send Volcanis into the battle tower. Soon, Volcanis, who was still in a confusion, disappeared from his ce and entered the battle tower. Just like before, Volcanis once again appeared in front of the same huge door he hadste. ''I am stronger than thest time I came here. I should clear this hall this time,'' Looking at the familiar huge door, Volcanic muttered to himself and moved towards the huge door. Ajax only observer Volcanis until he enters the battle hall before stop paying attention to his fight and looked at twilight. "Roar...I won''t go into the inner world. I am bored in there," To Ajax''s look, twilight roared and immediately said his decision before flying into the air and started flying in circles about Ajax''s head. "Okay okay," Ajax smiled at Twilight''s words and looked at his avatar, who stood beside him and observed his surroundings. "Twilight,e down. Let''s go to the fire crow tribe and meet up with Raweth," Ajax didn''t say anything to his avatar and ordered Twilight toe down from the sky. Without any dy, Twilightnded in front of Ajax and allowed him and others to mount on his back before flying in the direction of the fire crow''s tribe. "By the way, when are you nning to re-cultivate?" As they were flying towards the fire crow tribe, Ajax asked Twilight about his re-cultivation. Since Twilight had sessfully awakened a re-cultivation technique from his ancestral memories, Ajax was eager to know how twilight would look after his re-cultivation. "Huh? I am good with my current form. I will probably never use that technique in my life," Twilight transmitted his voice to Ajax and said he was not interested in getting a humanoid form. "Oh," Ajax was not surprised at twilight''s words because not all the spirit beasts want to transform into a humanoid form and want to stay in their original forms. That was the reason why there were still many unevolved spirit beasts in the Shixato wilds. "Okay, I will not force you to re-cultivate into a humanoid form," Ajax shook his head as he felt it was a great loss if twilight didn''t use the re-cultivation technique. Because if twilight re-cultivates, his battle prowess would be increased by a huge margin and what''s more he would gain an artifact or a weapon that would be powerful along with him. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t like to force his spirit beasts because he felt they should have some freedom in choosing their cultivation path. If he forces them and they were unable to adapt to their new cultivation, then it would be a disaster which Ajax didn''t want to happen. "Anyway, Sparrow''s evolved weapon is soo cool and powerful," Thinking about the evolved artifacts and weapons, Ajax remembered Sparrow''s evolved weapon and praised it. Sparrow''s evolved weapon was Purple-colored smoke that could weaken the opponents and suppress all theherworld''s bloodlines. "There is even a small chance of making the opponents dizzy when they inhale more smoke," Ajax thought about the effects and looked forward to its future development. "Let''s keep these thoughts aside and focus on conquering the Shixato wilds," Ajax looked at his surroundings and started nning about various possibilities of his conquering mission. Soon, they arrived at the fire crow tribe, which was almost recovered from the previous spirit beast horde and all the houses were fully reconstructed. If not for Ajax being here earlier, he would not have known that the fire crow tribe was attacked by the spirit beast horde. "Looks like the fire crow''s upper echelon was not that bad," With that thought in his mind, Ajax moved towards the entrance of the fire crow tribe. Chapter 428: Raweths house

428 Raweth''s house

"Who are they?" "They areing this way," When the tribe members of the fire crow tribe looked at Ajax and his team, they became alert as they muttered to each other. "Wait, I recognize him. He is the one that helped us when our tribe is facing the spirit beast horde," Suddenly, one of the fire tribe members was able to recognize Ajax and informed others. "Oh, is he that summoner, you have mentioned to us," another fire crow tribe member asked the first person who had recognised Ajax. "Yes," After nodding his head, that fire crow tribe member ran towards Ajax and bowed in front of him before saying, "Thank you, great sir, for helping us when we are in trouble." Simrly, the rest of the fire crow tribe members also followed him and thanked just like him. "Huh?" Ajax was not at all surprised by the behaviour of the fire crow tribe members as many of them had seen him helping them. "Master, you are here. Come inside," Just as Ajax was about to ask the tribe members to stand up, he heard a familiar voice from the crowd and soon saw it was none other than Raweth. Ajax didn''t inform about his arrival to Raweth. Still, Raweth was able to wee him because he had sensed Ajax''s presence nearby and hurired over to wee him. "Sure. Let''s go," Ajax nodded his head at the fire crow tribe members and left with Raweth. Behind Ajax, Snow and his avatar closely followed while looking at their surroundings. That''s right, he only brought Snow and his avatar along with him and left twilight at the entrance of the fire crow tribe because twilight''s size was way bigger and he could move in the fire crow tribe. "Huh? Where are we going Raweth?" Ajax was puzzled when he noticed that they were moving away from the tribe leader''s house and asked Raweth about it. "We are going to my house, Master," Raweth politely said with a smile on his face. After hearing that Ajax didn''t ask any more questions as he understood something. ''It is likely their mother''s house,'' Ajax guessed that the house they were going towards was their mother''s. Soon they reached the house which was not very big or nor very small. It looked average without any majestic look that the tribe leader and other elders have to their houses. "Thank you, Sir Ajax, for saving me and my brother," Just as they entered the house, Raweth''s little brother, Rawin thanked Ajax for helping him and his brother. Aftering to this house, Raweth shared about everything that had happened to his little brother and also said that Ajax was his master. "Huh? No need to call me Sir Ajax. Since you are Raweth''s little brother, just call me brother," Ajax replied to Rawin and nodded his head. "Ok, Brother Ajax," Rawin felt that all humans were not as bad as he heard. Ajax nodded his head and looked at Raweth before saying, "Raweth, do you have any chance to be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe?" Ajax felt the hostility towards him from the elders when Raweth announced he was Ajax''s contracted spirit beast. So, Ajax asked about his chances. "I have a 100 percent chance in bing the tribe leader," To Ajax''s surprise, Raweth replied with no expression on his face. "Huh? You don''t have any interest in bing the tribe leader for your fire crow tribe?" Ajax felt something was amiss with Raweth''s expression and asked him. "I am still interested in bing a tribe leader but the grand elder wants me to break the contract with you before bing the tribe leader," Raweth continued to maintain the same expressionless face as he replied. "Then, let me talk with your grand elder and make you the tribe leader without breaking our spirit contract," Ajax calmly replied to Raweth, which made him feel excited as Raweth knew that Ajax would always do what he says. The reason why Ajax doesn''t want to break the spirit contract with Raweth was that his conquering of Shixato wilds had to be done either by him or his contracted spirit beasts or elemental spirits. So, once Raweth breaks the contract and even helps him in finishing the conquering the Shixato wilds, it won''t be much help to him. In fact, it would decrease the aplishment rating, if he took the help of any outsiders. This might raise another doubt that taking the help of the whole tribe looks simr to that; however, it was not. Once Raweth, Snow and Sparrow be the tribe leaders of their respective tribes, the three tribes be a subordinate tribe under Ajax. "Okay master," Raweth became excited hearing Ajax''s words and continued saying, "Master, you can rest for a day or two here. Unfortunately, the grand elder went into seclusion and can''te out until tomorrow night." "Okay, I have time to waste, anyway," Ajax didn''t bother to wait as he still had a few more days left to stay in the five elemental world. After talking for more than one hours, Raweth guided Ajax to a bedroom for him to rest. "Once your grand elderes out of his seclusion, inform me. Until then don''t disturb me," Before closing his door, Ajax ordered Raweth and also said to take care of Twilight, who was still outside of the fire crow tribe. "Yes, master," Raweth nodded his head and left from Ajax''s new room. ''Sparrow still needs some rest. I think I have to wait until she recoverspletely and then go to the Netherworld''s ice sparrow tribe,'' Ajax nned that after making Raweth the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe, his next destination would be Ice sparrow tribe. ???Since I have nothing to do now, I will Volcanis battle in the battle tower," Ajax thought in his head and he positioned himself on the bed in afortable ce before watching the battle through the holographic screen. ... "Summoning master, summoning master, wake up," As Ajax was watching Volcanis battle, in an unknown ce in the five elemental world, an elemental spirit shouted at the masked man, who was cultivating peacefully. "Didn''t I say not to shout at me like that when I was cultivating?" The masked man woke up from his cultivation and scolded his elemental spirit. ''...'' With the scolding, the elemental spirit became sad and didn''t talk to the masked man. "Okay okay. I know that you have something very important to say, that is the reason you shouted like that. I am sorry," The masked man knew that his elemental spirit was sad and consoled him. "Yes, it is a very important matter," The previously sad elemental spirit became excited all of a sudden and continued, "The human, whom I am keeping an eye on, was not a normal summoner." ''Gasp'' The masked man gasped at his elemental spirits and waited for him to continue his information. Chapter 429: Universal summoner

429 Universal summoner

"What? Are you serious?" the masked man came closed to the elemental spirit and asked with a full seriousness on his face. "Yes, summoning master. He has various contracted elemental spirits under him. Like fire, life, dark, lightning and earth. From this, I can conclude that he is a universal summoner." The elemental spirit knew the seriousness of her information and carefully said everything he saw by following Ajax. Universal summoner, a very rare case in the summoning profession. It was very rare that only one summoner was known to be the universal summoners from ancient times. He was so powerful that even the most powerful cultivators from the greater worlds feared them and didn''t dare to mess with them. ''Universal summoner...universal summoner,??? the masked man became excited with the confirmation from his elemental spirit and muttered that name as he recalled thest universal summoner. ''Even though thest universal summoner was very strong he had disappeared after unifying all the smaller worlds. I wonder, is he still alive or dead,'' the masked man shook his head and stopped thinking about the past and thought, "As long as he joins the summoners'' group, this group will once again gain its previous glory." Thinking about how his summoners'' group used to live in the past and how it was scattered and living in fear from the people of the greater worlds now, he sighed. ''At any cost, I should make him join my summoners'' group,'' The masked man swore in his heart and looked at his elemental spirit as though he was asking for more information about what his elemental spirit had seen. Slowly, the elemental spirit said about the demon ritual and purple-coloured demon king''s avatar to the masked man which gave another shock to him. "How can someone have ess to do a demonic ritual in the five elemental world," the masked didn''t understand how Kiira was able to summon a demon king''s avatar. He didn''t think much as he knew that he would not get any answers just by thinking about it. ''What I have to do is to?keep an eye on him and recruit him in the group,'' the masked man thought in his head and looked at the elemental spirit in front of him and said, "Continue to keep an eye on him and if he is a good person, we will recruit him at any cost otherwise, we should kill him at any cost." The masked man suppressed his excitement and ordered his elemental spirit to keep an eye on Ajax before going back to his meditation. "Huh? Did he talk about conquering with others?" The masked man raised his brows before asking. "No, it is just my intuition which has never been wrong," The elemental spirit confidently said about his intuition. "If he is good and conquering the regions means, it''s a good thing. Just observe him and don''t reveal your presence to him," The masked man gave his final order before closing his eyes to recuperate his internal injuries. "Even demi-kings will have a hard time finding my presence...hehe," the elemental spirit muttered to himself before disappearing from the cave. ...¡­ ''ng'' ''nk'' ''Pak'' ''Swoosh'' "Go to hell," Inside a huge room that was filled with mud, a red-elemental spirit with a sword in his hand was fighting a Boar-like spirit beast. They were none other than Volcanis and one of the hall guardians of the battle tower, Hornedher hog. They fought for more than two hours. Eventually, Volcanis won the battle against the hornedher hog by a slight margin and killed it with his level 2 attack type sword dao. That''s right! Volcanis trained very hard in the inner world and eventually learned a level 1 attack type sword dao. For the past two hours, Volcanic killed more than 100 level 3 and level 4 hogs summoned by the Hornedher hog and while he was at it, he improved his sword dao from level 1 to level 2. Only because of the breakthrough he had in his sword dao, Volcanis was able to kill the hornedher hog. "Pheww...finally Volcanis had won the first room in the first level of the battle tower," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Volcanis prate his fire sword into the body of the hornedher hog. ''Looks like the guardian''s strength increased with the strength of the challenger,'' Even though Ajax was happy that Volcanis had finally won, he observed something about the hornedher hog. Previously, its strength was at low-level rank 4 but now it had increased to peak rank 4 made him think of that possibility. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit, Volcanis for killing theher horned hog. ''Ding, No special ability is gained from theher horned hog. ''Ding, Special reward:- 1 percent increase in the battle prowess of the elemental spirit. ''Ding, Theher horned hog will appear after 24 hours until then, the room will be closed. "Huh? No special ability?" Ajax was disappointed at the series of system notifications in his head and bitterly shook his head. Ajax thought that, with Volcanis'' amazing battle with the hornedher hog, he would gain some ability from the guardian. So, he was disappointed when he saw that notification. ''And what''s more, Volcanic only got one percent increase in his battle prowess,'' Ajax felt clearing a room in the first level of the battle tower was not as beneficial as he thought. ''Ding, Volcanic had picked a longhorn of the hornedher hog. Do you want to store it? Just as he was pondering where to send his other teammates into the battle tower, Ajax received another system notification that made him focus onto the holographic screen. In the holographic screen, Volcanic had picked a longhorn that was covered by mud. "Take it," As soon as Ajax said that the longhorn in Volcanis had disappeared and appeared in Ajax''s hand. "This is¡­," Ajax''s voice became dry when he saw the longhorn in his hands. When he looked at it from the holographic screen it waspletely covered by mud which hid its appearance; however, now in Ajax''s hands, it waspletely free of mud and shining with a purple light. ''That surface is so smooth and the design is very good,'' Ajax was mesmerized by the beauty of the horn in his hand which had a single loop. The open end of the horn was in a star shape. "Let''s see, what this time is actually," Ajax was able to say that the item was not amon item and used the system to know every detail of it. ''Ding, im the ownership of the longhorn to see its information. Chapter 430: Cerberus

430 Cerberus

''Huh? A new rule?'' Ajax felt that this was the first time the system had said something like this. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother much about it as this longhorn belongs to him anyway. ''I think dripping a drop of blood will work, right?'' Ajax thought in his head and was about to prick his finger. ''Ding, Do you want Volcanis to challenge another room on the first floor? "Yes," Ajax immediately nodded his head without asking Volcanis as he knew that Volcanis would rather challenge another hall than to rest in the inner world. Only a defeat would make him rest for a while. So, Ajax didn''t waste any time and proceeded for Volcanis next challenge. "You don''t have any problem with it, right?" Ajax jokingly asked Volcanis through the voice transmission. "No problem," Volcanic said with a steady voice before summoning back his fire sword into his body. ''Ding, Sending Volcanis to a random room on the first floor of the battle tower. Soon, Volcanic disappeared from the muddy room and teleported to the entrance of another room. The door in front of Volcanis looked almost the same in size and design but the colour was different. Previously it was a light brown in colour with ck marking on the door; however, now it was red coloured with ck markings. ''Huh? Looks like there will be a fire-type guardian in the room,'' Ajax was not in a hurry to im ownership of the longhorn in his hands as he wanted to see whom Volcanis would be challenging next. Just with the colour on the door, Ajax confirmed that the guardian would be a fire-type spirit beast or monster. ''Volcanis, if the guardian in that room is fire-type, then grasp some good skills from it. I hope you understand what I am saying,'' Ajax advised Volcanis just before he moved forward to open the huge doors. ''I understand master,'' Volcanis stopped for a moment and nodded his head at Ajax''s advice. Here, Ajax''s underlying meaning was simple. He was saying that use the battle tower to its full extent. Actually, the reason why themon Battle tower exists was that it was to increase the battle prowess of the challenger. However, what Ajax had in his possession was not amon battle tower. It was a special battle tower that could help the challenger to gain the skills or techniques of the guardians. ''Although it is rare to gain a skill or technique from the guardian, it was not impossible. Moreover, the system had already said that the battle tower has a 5 percent chance of that to happen,'' Ajax had confidence that Volcanis could grasp any skill that was rted to fire as he had awakened a skill called ''King of fire''. ''Creak'' Inside the room, it waspletely filled withva that was releasing ck smoke whenever a stone from the ceiling of the room had fallen into it. There was a single narrow path that divided theva into two parts. At either ends of the room there was somece that was like a t surface made up of ck volcanic rock. ''Woof'' As Volcanis was observing the room, a dog sound came from the other end of the room. Volcanis was only able to see a huge ck silhouette due to the ck smoke that blocked his vision. ''What is that? It sounded like a dog,'' Ajax was eager to take a look at the guardian of this fire type challenge and continued watching the holographic screen and thought in his head. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to see the appearance of the guardian of the room. It was a huge ck dog. However, instead of having a single head, the dog in front of Volcanis had three heads. The three pairs of eyes were looking at Volcanis angrily and were ready to attack Volcanis and waited for Volcanis to make a move first. ''Ding, Guardian name:- Cerberus. Element type:- Fire/Demon Skills:- The guardian didn''t disy any skill yet. Ajax immediately focused on the three-headed dog and found out its name. ''Isn''t it a demon world''s beast? How did it get into the battle tower?'' Once he saw the information about the three-headed dog, some new questions arose in Ajax''s head. Ajax could still remember that Cerberus was a beast that would only live in the demon world and if it travels to other worlds, it won''t live much longer if it doesn''t find a suitable environment in the new world. So, seeing a demon world''s spirit beast which was also called a Demonic beast in the battle tower made him think about the system''s origins. However, he didn''t ask the system as he knew the system would never answer questions about its origins. "Until now, the system had never made me do any evil thing or something to me. I guess I should not worry much about it," Ajax got doubts about the system''s origins many times but eventually removed those doubts and believed that the system was good. It could be said that he had considered the system as his friend with whom he could talk and fight. Since the system was always with him, he considered it as his friend who helps him very much. "Okay, Volcanis. Since it only has the cultivation of the peak rank 4, you can handle it, right?" Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax asked Volcanis and waited for him to give a reply. "Don''t worry master, I can handle this three-headed dog," Volcanis nodded his head before rushed towards the three-headed ck dog. Ajax didn''t watch the battle and believed that Volcanis could do his best in battling with it and he focused his concentration on the longhorn in his hands. Without any dy, he pricked his finger and allowed drop blood to fall on the purple-coloured horn. As soon as the blood drop touched the horn, a resplendent purple-light radiated from the longhorn that blind Ajax''s sight. The resplendent light onlysted for a few seconds before disappearing. Ajax slowly opened his eyes and was shocked by the surroundings around him. ''Where is this ce? How did I get here?'' The ce around Ajax looked like an empty purple coloured space. Ajax was floating in the mid-air and anxiously looked around himself only to see there ws no one around him. ''Hello¡­.anyone here?'' Ajax tried to calm himself and shouted. However, there was no reply. ''System, are you there?'' Immediately, he triedmunicating with the system; however, there was no reply that made Ajax even more anxious. Since the system apanied him everywhere he went, he became anxious and clutched his head as his head was in aplete mess. ''Thud'' As Ajax was anxious, a huge hornedher hog rushed towards him from a distance and stopped exactly in front of him before looking at him without any intention to attack. "If you want me to acknowledge you as my master, you have to pass my test," The hornedher hog spoke in a human tone while looking at Ajax. Chapter 431: Tes

431 Tes

Ajax, who was anxiously clutching his head, stood up immediately and looked at the huge hornedher hog in front of him. "Test?" Soon, he felt it was something rted to the long horn in his head and calmed himself before asking the huge hog in front of him. "Yes, as long as you pass the test, I will dly ept you as my master," With the same ancient voice, theher hog replied to Ajax. ''I think, I am inside the long horn now,'' Ajax finally understood that he was in longhorn and felt relief as it was only a test to im the ownership on the longhorn and asked theher hog, "Okay, What is the test?" From the moment the system had entered into his head, Ajax was used to many things, so he adjusted to the new environment in no time and waited for his answer. "Simple, you need to blow this horn for 5 minutes without a stop," The hog calmly replied in his ancient tone and soon after he finished his words, a familiar long horn appeared in front of him. ''This looks exactly like the one in my hands earlier, but I can say, they were not the same,'' Ajax didn''t take much time and confirmed that it was a different one from the longhorn he was trying to im ownership. "Just five minutes, I can do it," Ajax felt that the test was very easy and confident that he could finish it in time. Without any dy, he took the long horn into his hands and blew it. No sound came from the horn but still, Ajax continued to blow as the test only required him to blow for five minutes. ''Why am I feeling tired? Wait, my essence of nature...it is¡­,'' Before Ajax couldpletely think what was happening to him, he lost consciousness. ''Huh? Not bad for an elitemander realm cultivator to blow the horn for two minutes for his first time...Haha,'' the huge hog looked at the unconscious Ajax, who was hovering in the mid-air andughed with a satisfied smile. That''s right! It''s been only a couple of minutes since Ajax had started blowing the horn; however, his essence of nature in the spirit consciousness waspletely depleted. ''I will wait until he wakes up on his own,'' The huge hog released a purple coloured essence towards Ajax and waited for Ajax to wake up. Soon, the purple coloured essence entered into Ajax''s body at an incredible speed. ''Huh? What happened?'' Within a couple of hours, Ajax opened his eyes and checked his surroundings and confused before looking at the huge hog, which was looking at him and a longhorn hovering in front of him. Only after a few breaths of time, Ajax remembered that he was still inside the long horn and a test to finish. "By the way, what will happen to me if I fail this test?" Ajax felt that the test was quite challenging. So, he wanted to know what would happen if he failed it. "No, fail? Then what is the purpose of the test?" Ajax asked as he felt there was no reason for him to blow the longhorn for five minutes. "Haha...but there is something I forgot to mention," The huge hog absorbed the purple essence that he released previously into his body before continuing, "If you are unable to blow the horn, then you can forever apany me here." ''So, this is the condition. Then I have to finish this test as soon as possible,'' Even though Ajax adjusted to the new environment, he doesn''t want to stay inside a longhorn, so he immediately decided to finish the test. ''Pheww'' Ajax continued to blow the horn; however, just like before, he fell unconscious when he barely blew the horn for more than 2 minutes making the huge nod his head. ''Not bad, not bad...already increased a couple of secondspared to hisst time,'' Saying that, the huge hog released the purple essence once again which waster absorbed by the Ajax''s unconscious body. Just like before, he woke up after two hours and tried to blow the longhorn once again before bing unconscious. The same process repeated for who knows how many times and every time Ajax woke up, his determination to increase the time he blew the longhorn increased which left the huge hog praising Ajax for his focus and endurance. "Why am I unable to blow this thing for five minutes? I have already reached 4 minutes 59 seconds. Why can''t I increase that final second?" Finally, Ajax''s frustration dominated his determination and made him nearly give up the test. Although it seemed simple, in actuality it is not as it looks. Moreover, from thest 2-3 times, he was unable to increase that final second to aplish the test. So, he became frustrated. ''Whatever, I have to reach that final second and quickly leave out of this ce,'' Even then, Ajax didn''t give up on the test as he knew that he doesn''t have any other option to get out of his space. Moreover, he hadpletely lost track of the time but he could say that more than a day had passed since he had entered into this dimensional space inside the longhorn. "You are doing good. But, what you arecking to finish this test is the true essence of this test. Once you understand that, you can blew the longhorn for more than five minutes," Just when Ajax was about to blow the longhorn, the huge hog, which was silent until now suddenly opened his mouth before saying some words that made Ajax stop his repeated process. "True essence of the test?" Ajax raised his brow and immediately thought of something and sat in a meditative pose in the mid-air and started pondering everything he had learned from all his previous attempts to finish the test. ''There is nothing that can help me from it,'' Soon, Ajax confirmed that the true essence of the test had nothing to do with his previous attempts. ''Wait a second. That''s right, why my spirit consciousness ispletely filled with purple-coloured essence,'' As Ajax was checking everything to know about the essence of the test, he noticed the purple essence in his spirit consciousness. ''This looks likeher essence. Is it from horn or huge hog?'' Ajax pondered for a second before thinking, ''Why do I need to blow this horn?'' Finally, Ajax thought about the use of the longhorn and an idea came to his mind. ''If I pass the test, the huge hog will consider me as its master. Is this thing used to summon it out? Also, this purple essence must be from it. I got it now,'' Soon, Ajax formed his n and looked at the huge hog before giving it a smile, he carefully took the horn into his hands. "I will make you ept me as you master, this time," Ajax said with a confident voice. Chapter 432: Nether hogs longhorn

432 Nether hog''s longhorn

Ajax clutched the longhorn tightly with his hands and within no time, his hands released mes. However, these mes were not in red or orange; instead, they were in a purple colour. ''I just need to enhance the horn with theher mes and it will, in turn, decrease my depletion of the essence of nature from the spirit consciousness,'' Here, Ajax used the purple-coloured essence which was also called aher essence and createdher mes just like how he created red mes to refine the pills. ''It''s working, working...haha,'' As expected, when he used theher mes, the rate at which the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness depleted was very less. So, Ajax was excited as he thought in his head. ''What? Looks like he is using another method to increase the time...Haha. Good,'' the hugeher hog was surprised at Ajax''s method of using theher essence of nature to createher mes. ''I wonder, how did he get that method to createher mes from the essence of nature,'' the hugeher thought for a second and didn''t bother about it anymore as Ajax had sessfully crossed the five-minute mark and still didn''t show any signs of stopping. "You can stop now...you have passed the test. You can go out," As soon as Ajax blew the longhorn for five minutes, the hugeher hog loudly announced the result and said Ajax could now leave this dimensional space. "Wait wait wait, I need to¡­.," When Ajax heard the hugeher hog''s words, he stopped blowing the longhorn and tried to talk with the huge hog; however, before he could finish his words he lost consciousness and woke in his room. "Huh? I am back already?" Ajax looked at the familiar room and heaved a sigh of relief. However, he still felt that he was unable to ask his questions about the longhorn and the appearance of various guardians in the battle tower. ''Looks like I need to ask him after summoning him,'' Ajax shook his head and decided to ask theher hog about its origins; however, he didn''t dare to summon the hugeher hog here as he knew space won''t be sufficient. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully iming the ownership of the longhorn. Check its information for more details. While Ajax was in his thoughts, a congrattory system notification came to his head. ''Let''s see the details about this longhorn,'' He looked at the purple-coloured longhorn in his hands and focused on it. ''Ding, Artifact name:- Nether hog''s longhorn (special-type) Owner:- Ajax Grade:- Legendary Effects:- 1) When the owner blows the horn for a minute, 5 rank 4her hogs will be summoned 3) Locked (Needs host to reach higher realm) Description:- A King-realm hornedher hog is heavily injured by someone and some high-level artificer took pity on the dying hog and stored its soul in its own longhorn with the permission from the dyingher hog. "What am I seeing? A legendary grade artifact? When did they be thatmon?" Ajax felt it was quite unbelievable as many questions raised in his head. "It has three effects and I can only use a single effect for now. Nevertheless, I am more than satisfied with the first effect itself," Ajax felt it was a pity that two effects were locked but he was content with the first effect where he could summon 5 rank 4her hogs. "Moreover, the description is more than enough to know its origins," Ajax read all the information about the Nether hog''s longhorn once again. ''Knock Knock'' Just as hepleted his reading for the second time, he heard the knocking sounds from the door. "Master, are you awake?" After the knock, Raweth''s voice came from the other side of the door. "Wait a second. I aming," Ajax stood up from the bed and opened the door to see Raweth along with his little brother Rawin stood in front of the room. "Good morning, Master" "Good morning, Brother Ajax" Raweth and Rawin greeted him in unison which made Ajax puzzle. "What? Morning?" Ajax asked in confusion because when he entered the room, it was afternoon. "Yes, master. It''s morning now. Also, the grand elder came out of his seclusive cultivation," Raweth quickly informed Ajax about the reason for his visit. "Okay, I wille in a few minutes," Ajax suppressed his confusion before entering into his room before closing the door. "Okay, master. I will wait outside," Raweth nodded his head and left with his little brother. "What is happening? How many days did I spend in that dimensional space?" He quickly used the system to know the time spent in the dimensional space. However, there was no reply from the system. So he changed the question and asked the system, "System, still how many days left for me to stay in the five elemental world?" ''Ding, The host can stay 2 more days in the five elemental world. "Phew...still two more days are there. I can manage all things in these 2 days," Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as felt it was good to have two more days. If he wasted another day inside the longhorn, he would not be able to arrange all things for his conquering mission. Immediately he went to fresh up and came out to meet up with Raweth and Rawin before moving towards the tribe leader''s house. "Master, do you want me to be the tribe leader?" While they were going towards the tribe leader''s house, Raweth slowly asked Ajax. "Yes," Ajax replied with a single word and continued saying, "I want to conquer this Shixato wilds, So, if you be the tribe leader of this fire crow tribe will save me time and the tribe members can also gain various rewards from time to time." Ajax added rewards because it was true. Once the fire crow tribe was under Raweth''s control. It was indirectly under his control. So, to increase the loyalty of the fire crow tribe towards Raweth, Ajax didn''t mind using some rewards to the tribe members with most contributions from time to time. "Don''t worry, master, I will be the tribe leader and help you conquer the Shixato wilds," Raweth knew what kind of person Ajax was and he also knew that his fire crow tribe would definitely prosper with Ajax''s help. So, he confidently said to Ajax that he could be a tribe leader. Soon they met the grand elder in the tribe leader''s room who was now a temporary tribe leader until a new tribe leader was selected by the upper echelon of the tribe. "Grand elder, I want to talk something with you, personally," After greeting each other, Raweth stepped forwards and said to the grand elder. Grand Elder nodded his head and went into the side room beforeing out of the room in a few minutes. "I have no problem with Raweth bing the tribe leader. But there is one problem," The grand elder looked at Ajax and calmly said. Chapter 433: Convincing the elders

433 Convincing the elders

Since the grand elder trusted Raweth more than anyone from the tribe, so he had no problem in entrusting the fire crow tribe to him as he could lead it towards glory. However, ording to the grand elder''s words, there was still some problem that was obstructing Raweth from bing the tribe leader. "What is that problem?" Ajax felt relieved when he heard the grand elder''s starting words but he raised his brows at thest words and asked the grand elder about it. If the Grand elder doesn''t have any problem, then Ajax was puzzled at what kind of problem it was. "The problem lies in you. Since Raweth is your contracted spirit beast and it is known by all the upper echelon of the fire crow tribe and they will definitely oppose Raweth in bing the tribe leader," The grand elder looked at Ajax before sitting on a chair beside the tribe leader''s majestic chair. "Oh, is there no other way to convince them without forcefully breaking the spirit contract?" Ajax already felt this would be the problem and he also thought of a solution for this problem; however, he wanted to know an even better solution for it without putting more effort. "The upper echelon consists of one grand elder, five elders, the leader of the 15 crows," The grand elder didn''t answer Ajax''s question; instead he started exining about the upper echelon of the fire crow. Ajax didn''t interrupt the grand elder and listened carefully. "Among these seven, four members need to be in Raweth''s favour. So that he could be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe," The grand elder gave a hint to Ajax and Raweth about how Raweth could be the tribe leader. "We only have you at the moment. So, we still need three more people on our side," Ajax felt it was not as easy as he thought. ''Should I have to force them to submit to me using the hawk tribe?'' Ajax immediately thought of his solution to the problem; however, he quickly suppressed this thought as it had many disadvantages for him. He wanted all the fire crow tribe members to follow Raweth loyally on their own without any force. Only then, the tribe could prosper. "It should be two. You forgot about me, Ajax," All of a sudden a ck-cloaked masked figure appeared in front of Ajax from out of nowhere. He was none other than the leader of the 15 crows and he was in charge of Rawin for many years. "Uncle," Raweth and Rawin were excited at the sudden appearance of the cloaked man and hurriedly shouted. "I have confidence in Raweth that he will lead the fire crow tribe towards glory," Before Ajax could ask for the reason why he wanted to support Raweth, the masked man said in a serious tone. ''Looks like this masked man is not bad,'' Ajax''s impression on the masked man increased by another level. "So, we now need only two elders on our side," Ajax muttered but it was still heard by others. "I think, it''s better to directly ask all the five elders about their thoughts, then we can see what we have to do," The grand elder thought it was not a big problem anymore with the addition of the masked man. So, he directly wanted to finalize this matter and called all the five elders with an emergency talisman. Ajax also felt it was better to decide it sooner so that he could n the remaining events of conquering the Shixato wilds after he left the five elemental world. Within no time, all the five elders entered into the tribe leader''s room and greeted the grand elder and others. Even though they don''t like humans, they felt indebted to Ajax, so they were polite to him. "Grand elder, what is the reason for this emergency meeting?" The first elder, whose power was just behind the grand elder asked about the grand elder''s emergency summoning. "I hereby propose Raweth as the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe. Those who are in the favour of this proposal raise your hand and as for others, you can speak out your views on this proposal," The grand elder didn''t waste any time before raising his hand directly proposed his deal. All the elders were not at all surprised at the grand elder''s proposal as they had already expected this. "Grand elder, what about the spirit contract he has with the human?" One of the elders stood up and asked about the spirit contract. All the remaining elders have the same doubt. So, they looked at the grand elder for his reply before giving their decisions. "The spirit contract will not be removed," The grand elder expressionlessly replied to the elders. "What?" All the elders were surprised by the grand elder''s reply and looked at him as though they were asking why? "I support the grand elder," As all the elders were expecting an answer from the grand elder, they heard the leader of the crows and shocked by his words. "Why? Are you two gone mad or what?" The first elder was unable to suppress his shock and shouted out loud. "That''s right, grand elder. How can we allow Raweth to be the tribe leader of the fire crow tribe with that spirit contract?" All the elders backed the first elder as they stood up from their seats. ''...'' Since their words were true, the grand elder and the masked man were unable to say anything and remained silent for a while. All of a sudden the tribe leader''s room had be silent before it was broken by Ajax. "All of you are correct. You are very correct," Ajax didn''t be anxious or worried about the five elders; instead, he even agreed with them. "By the way, I forgot to say one thing. My another one of the contracted spirit beasts has be the tribe leader of the Lighting hawk tribe," Ajax didn''t give any time for others to speak and immediately summoned Snow for others to see her. "Master," As soon as she was summoned out of the inner world, she greeted Ajax with a smile before putting a cold smile on her face while looking at others. "What?" Including the grand elder, all the others in the room were shocked by Ajax''s words and even more shocked to see Snow. With a nce, anyone could say that Snow had a very pure bloodline in her body and didn''t even doubt Ajax''s words by the appearance of Snow. "Haha...I know you are not a regr human," the grand elder and the masked manughed at the same time and looked at the five elders, who were now raising their hands without any fear. "However, we have one condition to support Raweth in bing the tribe leader," Just when Ajax thought he had finally seeded in convincing the elders, they raised one condition. Chapter 434: Announcemen

434 Announcemen

Since he could convince Qwerek and helped Snow be the tribe leader, they didn''t hesitate any longer as they knew how intelligent Qwerek was. Nevertheless, they want to keep a condition to support Raweth wholeheartedly. "What is it?" Ajax calmly asked as he looked at the five elders. "We know that you are a summoner. So, if you swear on your summoning heart that you will not force us to do something that we don''t want to do," The first elder keenly looked at Ajax''s face before saying his condition. "I swear on my summoning heart that I will never force someone to do against their own will," Without any dy, Ajax swore, making all the elders smile and even the grand elder also felt content with Ajax''s oath. However, what they didn''t know was that Ajax never believed in those oaths which were only some simple words. Nevertheless, he would never make those under him do something they don''t want to do. So, he never bothered about it and confidently swore on his summoner heart. "Great. Now we support Raweth in bing the tribe leader," All the elders said in unison. ''Looks like these elders are very loyal to the tribe,'' Ajax slightly smiled when he looked at the elders and thought inside his mind. "Why don''t we announce this now. I have something urgent to do and also I have to leave in two days," Ajax urged all the tribe members in the room to announce it to the rest of the tribe and make it official. "Sure. Just wait an hour here," the grand elder nodded his head and called a tribe member from outside the room and asked him to gather all the tribe members within an hour in front of the tribe leader''s house. "Yes, tribe leader," the guard bowed to all the members in the room before hurriedly rushed out of the room. "Until the tribe members gather, I will exin my future ns for the fire crow tribe and what you have to do," After the guard left, Ajax looked at the grand elder and other before sitting on a normal chair and motioned Raweth to sit in the tribe leader''s chair. "Huh?" Everyone in the room was shocked at Ajax''s words as they didn''t expect Ajax to say the future ns for the fire crow tribe. Even Raweth was shocked as he didn''t expect his master to be in that much of a hurry. Nevertheless, all of them sat on their respective chairs and Raweth sat on the tribe leader''s chair. "I want to unify the Shixato wilds....," Ajax started his exnation from conquering the Shixato wilds and how he was nning to make his other contracted spirit beast the tribe leader of theherworld ice sparrow tribe. Hearing Ajax''s ns, all the members except Raweth and Snow were shocked. "Simple, expand the conquering to the other regions," Even though the system didn''t say anything about conquering other regions or didn''t issue any missions as of now, Ajax was able to guess that it would be bound to happen sooner orter. "You have got some great ns, young man. Let''s see after we conquer the Shixato wilds," The grand elder nodded his head at Ajax''s n and felt that, ''If only the younger generation of my fire crow tribe had the same thinking like this one, it would be great...Sigh.'' In the end, he sighed and looked at others to see their expressions. All of them have an exciting expression because if the conquering of other regions be sessful, then the fire crow would be a ruler of one of the regions since they were the ones who joined Ajax early in his conquest to conquer the five elemental world. ''I think if he was able to conquer the whole five elemental world, then there is a great chance of this world bing a greater world,'' The grand elder''s thoughts were different from the thought of the elders as he could look at the bigger picture that could benefit that whole five elemental world. Next, they continued to talk about some minor details regarding how Ajax was nning to conquer the Shixato wilds and some other talks. "Grand elder, everyone is gathered in front of the tribe leader''s house," Soon, the guard that left earlier came back and informed them about the gathering. "Okay then. Let''s move out and announce our decision," The grand elder nodded his head and headed out with the rest of the members. Ajax also followed them out of the room and when he came out of the tribe leader''s house, Ajax was shocked to see the huge crowd that was more than he epted. ''It''s the total poption of the fire crow tribe. So, there is no need to be shocked with the strength as our tribe has more poption than the other two tribes,'' the masked birdman observed Ajax''s shocked expression and exined about it with a small smile on his face. From the crowd, Ajax was not even able to gauge the poption of the tribe as they werepletely packed and asked the masked man, "How much is your tribe''s poption?" "It was only a little more than 100k. If not for the constant killings from other tribes and the deaths from the unevolved spirit beasts, it would have been more than that," The masked birdman sighed while exining about the death rate of their tribe. "So, what about the other tribes?" Ajax became curious about the poption of the other tribes and asked him. "I don''t know the exact poption but they should be less than us. The least popted tribe will be theherworld ice sparrow tribes as they are very fewer people awakening their bloodline and bing evolved," the masked birdman slowly exined along the way and suddenly added, "By the way, I am only saying about the evolved tribe members and as for the unevolved tribe members there are many and we don''t keep a count on them." "What?" Ajax received another surprise hearing his words and calmed down before looking at the grand elder who was ready to announce the news. "Hello, my dear tribe members. The reason I asked everyone to gather here was that I have good news to share with you. At the same time, if anyone has any problem with the thing I am about to say now, you can boldly raise your hands without any fear," the grand elder looked at the crowd and spoke using his fire essence of nature to increase the volume of his speech. As soon as they heard the grand elder''s words, all the tribe members started murmuring among themselves and looked very excited. So, they didn''t whisper for much longer before attentively looking at the grand elders to hear the good news. "The upper echelon of the fire crow tribe had decided to make Raweth as the new tribe leader," The grand elder quickly finished his sentence and looked at the crowd for their reactions. Chapter 435: To the Sparrow tribe

435 To the Sparrow tribe

ording to him, since the upper echelon had already supported Raweth, 90 percent of the tribe members don''t have any issue with Raweth bing that tribe leader. However, there were always some people who didn''t like the upper echelon and always wanted to find something wrong in decisions made by the upper echelon. So, now the grand elder wanted to keep an eye for tribe members like that. "Sorry elder, I don''t want to keep my life in the hands of a puppet controlled by a human," "Yes, grand elder, I too don''t want to keep my life in his hands," "Although I respected Raweth from his childhood for his bloodline, he is not worthy to be our tribe leader," As expected, some of the tribe members from the crowd showed their dissatisfaction with the announcement. "Okay. I can understand your feelings; however, I believe that Raweth is the only best candidate to be the tribe leader and as for the spirit contract, Ajax had already sworn on his summoning heart that he will only help our tribe and will never make us do something that we don''t want to do," The grand elder spoke in a convincing tone that even Ajax felt that he would be convinced if he was the one in the ce of who were opposing with the decision of the upper echelon. "Really?" "Swore on summoning heart?" "Then it''s good," Just after they listened to the grand elder''s words, they were shocked and immediately agreed to the grand elder''s proposal. ''What in the world is happening here?'' Ajax''s jaws were dropped when he saw how easily the grand elder convinced the opposing members of the fire crow tribe and thought that, ''This summoning heart...is it really that powerful?'' Ajax never bothered about the summoning heart before; however, now seeing all those expressions, Ajax felt that it must be real and powerful. ''I wonder what will happen if I go back on my words after swearing on my summoning heart?'' Ajax imagined various punishments for breaking the oath after swearing on the summoning heart and even at the light punishment, he was shuddered before deciding to never go back on his words. Soon, no one from the crowd showed any opposition for Raweth''s tribe leader position and Raweth had sessfully be the tribe leader of the fire crown tribe. "With how pure Raweth''s bloodline, our tribe will walk towards the path of glory," "Yes, we just need some time and no one can stop our tribe''s development," After that, everyone one went back to their works; however, while they were leaving they discussed the bright future of their tribe under the leadership of Raweth and along with the support of a summoner. "Grand Elder, do you know the way to the ice sparrow tribe?" Just as everyone was dispersing, Ajax moved towards the grand elder and asked indirectly toe with him to the ice sparrow tribe. "..." The grand elder thought for a moment before nodding his head understanding Ajax''s words'' underlying meaning and agreed with Ajax. "I will also join you guys, it ''s been a long time since I travelled to the ice sparrow tribe," the masked birdman joined them without any invitation. Soon, Ajax and his contracted spirit beast, Raweth and Snow along with the grand leader and the leader of the 15 crows travelled towards the ice sparrow tribe. There was a reason why Ajax wanted the grand elder to apany them towards the ice sparrow tribe. It was because they just wanted to show his true power behind him and at the same time, he wanted them to know that the two tribes were already under his control. Moreover, he wanted to finish this ice sparrow tribe''s matter by the end of this day. So that he could give his instructions on thest day of his stay in the five elemental world. ''Because of Snow and Raweth being close with the hawk tribe and fire crow tribe, it was easy to make them the tribe leaders; however, sparrow''s case was totally different from them,'' Ajax thought about Sparrow''s loneliness in the huge tribe and felt sorry for her. So, he didn''t want to show any mercy to those who oppose Sparrow in bing the tribe leader. After 3-4 hours of flight, Ajax and others had reached the Ice sparrow tribe. "Graroth, why are you here? Are you nning to attack our tribe just like always?" Just as they were about to enter into the premises of the sparrow tribe, an old man with a purple robe and two long but weak-looking wings behind his back appeared out of nowhere and stopped Ajax and others. "Zeke, my old friend. Long time no see. How are you?" the grand elder slowly moved towards the old man that looked just as old as the grand elder. "Old friend? What a joke! Who will be your friend?" The grand elder of the ice sparrow tribe, who was called Zeke, mocked the grand elder. "Let''s not talk about the past. I am here with this young human to talk something with you," Graroth, the grand elder, bitterly shook his head and pointed at Ajax and stated the reason for his visit. "Huh? The tribe leader is not here. So, I can''t wee anyone until shees back," Zeke looked at Ajax and his two pure-blooded contracted spirit beasts and was surprised for a moment before shaking his head. "You.." the grand elder became angry at Zeke''s words. ''Sparrow,e out,'' However, before he could do anything, Ajax silently called out Sparrow out of his inner world. ''Screech'' As soon as she came out of the inner world, a screech came out from the tribe leader''s house. "What? How is this possible?" When the grand elder of the sparrow tribe heard the screech he was shocked to the core and immediately looked at the new sparrow in front of him. Just from the appearance, Zeke''s body automatically bowed; however, he soon suppressed it and remained stiff. "Who are you?" After suppressing the bloodline suppression from Sparrow, Zeke became cautious and slowly asked. "Grandpa, it''s me," Sparrow, looked at Zeke for a moment and slowly said a few words. "You are...you are the daughter of Alin?" Although Sparrow said only a few words and literally there was no hint or anything about her identity but still, Zeke was able to guess the identity of Sparrow. "Yes," Hearing that, Sparrow became emotional but she didn''t show it on her face and coldly looked at the grand elder of the sparrow tribe. Ajax and others were simply watching their conversation which they didn''t understand. However, Ajax guessed that Alin was Sparrow''s mother. "Girl, why are you here again? Quickly run away from here before anyone sees you," To everyone''s surprise, Zeke hurriedly asked Sparrow to go away from the sparrow tribe. Chapter 436: Truth

436 Truth

"Hurry up. That devil coulde here at any moment," Zeke continued to say those words to Sparrow making Ajax raise his brows. From Ajax''s perspective, there was no one that was close to a sparrow in the ice sparrow tribe but after seeing the concerned and anxious look on Zeke''s face, Ajax felt it was not true. ''The devil he was referring to, must be the tribe leader of the ice sparrow tribe,'' Of course, he could guess from Zeke''s words that the devil was none other than Madam Kiira, who was not alive now. "You mean your tribe leader Kiira?" Before Ajax could ask, Sparrow spoke with the grand elder from the sparrow tribe. "Yes. If she sees you here and with your new appearance she will go to any extent to kill you. First, let''s get down from here," Zeke immediately asked everyone to get down to the ground before anyone could see them. Since they were near to the sparrow tribe, Zeke feared that if someone noticed him conversing with fire crow tribe people then it would be unnecessary trouble. ''Swoosh'' ''Whoosh'' Soon, all of themnded on the ground and everyone looked at Zeke because they didn''t understand what he was trying to do. Nevertheless, they know one thing that he was not trying to harm them. At least not harming Sparrow. "If you are fearing Madam Kiira, then there is no need to fear her anymore," Sparrow looked at her grandpa who was very good to hear from her childhood but stopped talking to her after she lost in the three-tribe contest. Just thinking about this made her attitude back to cold again making Zeke sigh. However, he was not concerned about it and asked, "Why? If she sees you¡­.." "She is dead and I forced her to kill herself," Before he could say his sentence, Sparrow interrupted him and slowly said to him with a cold look on her face. "What?" Zeke was shocked at her words. What''s more, thest words made him almost copse onto the ground. Not only him but others like Graroth, the masked birdman were also shocked by the words of Sparrow. Because the strength between Kiira and Sparrow was very huge, so they took some time to believe her words. If not for Ajax, they would have taken even more time to believe her words. "What are you saying? Is it real?" Zeke had an excited expression on his face and asked her once again to confirm the death of his tribe leader. "What she is saying is real," Ajax came forward to confirm Sparrow''s words but Zeke only looked at Ajax for a moment before starting saying, "I am free now...I am free now." "Huh? Is he crazy or what?" "Grandpa, what happened to you?" "Sparrow,e back. He seems he has gone mad," "No no no...I am not crazy. I am just excited about finally bing free...Haha," Zeke became embarrassed with his sudden shouts in front of everyone and immediately tried to rify the reason for his excitement. "Before I say the reason for my excitement. Let me apologize to you, Little one," Zeke moved towards Sparrow and bowed to her before saying, "Please forgive me and other elders of the tribe leader for their behaviour towards you." "Huh?" Sparrow and Ajax raised their brows when they looked at Zeke''s behaviour. "I know what we did is very cruel to you but we didn''t do that intentionally, it is forced by Kiira," Zeke''s didn''t stand straight; instead he was still in the bowing position as he said with a sigh. "What? Can''t you retort against her?" Ajax found it funny to believe and mocked Zeke and the rest of the elders of the sparrow tribe. "We can. But unless we decide to die, we can retort against her," He shook his head and remained in the same position and continued, "Because she used some kind of weird technique to control us. Even if we dare to go against her words, they will kill us without much difficulty." He continued to exin what Kiira had done to the upper echelon of the sparrow tribe and how she controlled them. "Oh...so that''s what happened to your tribe. No wonder, your tribe became the weakest as soon as she became the tribe leader," the grand elder, Graroth understood the reason behind the downfall of the ice sparrow tribe. "So, she is behind all of this...grandpa please stop bowing," After hearing Zeke''s words, Sparrow''s attachment with her tribe once again came back and hurriedly moved forward and stopped Zeke from bowing to her any longer. "..." Seeing Sparrowing forwards to help him, Zeke felt his heartache even more and swore, "From today onwards, if anyone wants to bully you, they have to go through me." Ajax shook his head as he could understand how Zeke must be feeling right now. "By the way, when did you kill her, child?" Zeke took everyone into the sparrow tribe and along the way, he asked Sparrow about Kiira''s death. "A couple of days ago," Sparrow didn''t say anything about the demon king''s avatar and simply said the time when Kiira sacrificed herself to the demon king''s avatar. "No wonder, I feel my heart at ease from the past few days" Zeke expressed his happiness and took them into the sparrow tribe. "Hey look, The grand elder is weing people from the other tribes," "I wonder what he is doing by inviting them into our tribe?" "Did he forget how we are enemies with the fire crow tribe and lightning hawk tribe?" As Ajax and others were moving towards the tribe leader''s house, the tribe members of the ice sparrow tribe were whispering in each other''s ears. "Stop listening to their conversations. It''s all because of Kiira''s arrogance we became enemies with the other tribes," Zeke exined the reason why they had be enemies with other tribes. There were only small misunderstandings among the three tribes but due to Kiira''s annoyance with every single thing and Krico''s arrogance caused those misunderstandings into wars between these three tribes. Although the tribe members of these three tribes didn''t know about this; however as the grand elders of the tribe and only next to tribe leader, Zeke and Graroth knew about this things and that''s the reason they hated the tribe leaders of their tribe to the core for not caring about the lives of the tribe members. Soon, everyone reached the tribe leader''s house. "Okay everyone, we will just wait for some time until all the elders and the leader of the true sparrows joins us and we will talk about the matter you want to talk about," the Grand Elder asked everyone to sit and he sat in one of the chairs along with them. Everyone looked at each others'' faces before looking at Zeke and sat in their chairs. Chapter 437: Meeting in Sparrow tribe

437 Meeting in Sparrow tribe

So, after Ajax and others had sat in their chairs, all the upper echelon of the ice sparrow tribe had gathered in the meeting room. "Hello, grand elder," As soon as the five elders and the leader of the 10 true sparrows entered into the meeting hall, they looked at Ajax and others with frowned expressions before greeting their grand elder and sat calmly in their respective chairs. Although they were calm on the surfaces, all of them were on full alert and were ready to attack if something went wrong. "Hello everyone. Don''t worry, they are here to talk about something so you can rx," How can Zeke don''t know what his tribe''s elders were like, their tribe was already very weak and if they were careless even for a bit, it would make their tribe be even weaker So, Zeke asked their elders to rx. "Okay, grand elder," All the elders nodded their heads at Zeke''s words; however, they didn''t dare to let down their guards in front of Graroth. Also, when their eyesnded on Sparrow, who was sitting behind Ajax, there was some unknown fear in their hearts but at the same time, she remembered the statue of their tribe''s first empress who was almost simr. They looked at Sparrow only for a second before averting their gazes from her because they thought looking at her for a longer time would make them worship her. From a look, all the six members of the ice sparrow tribe looked almost with the same appearance ofrge purple wings except for height, weight and some other minor facial features. All of them have worn light purple-coloured robes with white borders except for the leader of the 10 true sparrows unit, who had worn a dark purple-coloured robe with a white border. "Grand elder, is this meeting rted to the screech of our guardian?" the leader of the 10 sparrows, Qeya looked at Zeke and asked about the screech which was heard earlier. "Guardian of the ice sparrow tribe?" Graroth had raised his brows when he heard Qeya''s words. Earlier, he had clearly heard the screech but he felt no intimidation or no power fluctuations from it. So, he and others thought that screech must have belonged to someone who had just achieved a breakthrough or evolved into a humanoid form. However, now with Qeya''s words, he understood that the screech must have belonged to the guardian of the ice sparrow tribe. ''Looks like, the ice sparrow tribe has hidden this matter. Thank god, we didn''t agree to Krico''s idea of attacking the ice sparrow tribe; otherwise, we would have suffered greatly,'' Graoroth heaved a sigh of relief with his opposition to Krico''s idea and became serious all of a sudden. "I have two things to announce in this emergency meeting," Zeke talked as he moved away from his seat while looking at the faces of his tribe''s elders, who had wrinkles all over their faces but their eyes were filled with intelligence. Although there were very few awakening in the younger generations, that doesn''t mean the ice sparrow''s totally powerless. All the power for the ice sparrow tribe hade from the older generation and their secret trump card, their tribe''s guardian. Hearing Zeke''s words, all the elders of the ice sparrow''s paid full attention to him as they knew their grand elder wouldn''t summon them for an emergency meeting just for somemon issues. "Before saying the first reason, answer me," the grand elder, Zeke looked at his tribe''s elder and asked, "From the past few days, how are you feeling?" "Huh? How do you know that grand elder?" Instead of answering his question, the first elder who had the most wrinkles on his face among all the elders asked with a surprised expression on his face. Simrly, the rest of the elders also looked at each other understanding that they were not the only one who was feeling relief for the past few days but all the elders were having the same feeling. "It is because there is no Kiira anymore and she is killed by none other than her," While exining the reason for their relieved feeling, Zeke pointed at Sparrow, who was sitting behind Ajax. "What?" "Really?" "That''s great," "Finally, that arrogant b*tch has died," Qeya and the rest of the elders were excited when they heard as they finally understood the reason for their relieving feeling as the seal that was controlling them disappeared after Kiira''s death. "She is¡­," After letting out their excited shouts, the elders calmed themselves down and asked their grand elder while pointing at Sparrow. Before they could finish their sentence, their grand elder interrupted them and said, "She is one of our own and born in our tribe." "Huh?" Hearing those words, all the elders raised their brows. Although they knew she was also aherworld Ice sparrow, they didn''t think she was from their tribe as they had never seen nor heard anyone that had very pure bloodline in their tribe. "Cough cough" the grand elder lightly coughed and gained the attention of all the elders back to him before continuing, "She is Alin''s daughter." When he said that, the grand elder said with a sighing face and bitterly shook his head. "Really?" "She is little Alin''s daughter?" "She is already grown that much?" All the elders were shocked once again at the grand elder''s words and hurriedly looked at Sparrow. When they looked at her, there were mixed expressions on their faces like concern, affection, embarrassment and other expressions. All of those expressions were due to their behaviour with Sparrow when she lost the three tribe contest which was indirectly forced by their arrogant tribe leader. Although Kiira made them behave coldly with Sparrow, that doesn''t mean they were not wrong. For a child who was having a happy life until then and suddenly everything changed would make that child crazy. So, they were even embarrassed to ask Sparrow to forgive them. "I know why everyone behaved like that and I forgive you all," Sparrow already guessed their inner feelings and forgiven them. "Thank you, child," "Thanks for forgiving us," All the elders thanked her for her big heart as tears of joy came out of their eyes. All of a sudden, the meeting hall became silent. "Okay okay. Since she has forgiven you all, let me say my second reason for this emergency meeting," Zeke broke that silence and looked at their elders whose eyes still had traces of tears and bitterly shook inside his heart. All the elders nodded their heads and waited for Zeke to continue his speech. "Since there''s no tribe leader for us, I want to announce Sparrow to be our new tribe leader," Zeke slowlypleted his words and waited for his elders'' response. Chapter 438: Speeding up the events

438 Speeding up the events

So, when he said those words, he said slowly but every single word of his was filled with the seriousness that made all the other elders know that the grand elder was very serious about this matter. Once again the meeting hall becamepletely silent. Shocked and surprised expressions were filled in the faces of all the upper echelon of the ice sparrow tribe as they didn''t expect this. "Since she killed Kiira she has the right to be tribe leader and?not to forget her high bloodline and appearance," Nevertheless, almost all of them quickly suppressed their expression and nodded their heads as they have no problem with that. Since Sparrow had 100 percent pure bloodline and the simr appearance of their first ancestor, then no one had any problem except for one thing. The one and only thing that made them stop giving full support to Sparrow were she had be a contracted spirit beast to a human. ''Sigh...should I swear on my summoning heart once again?'' Ajax sighed as he prepared to swear an oath; however, before he could say anything, The grand elder released his cultivation strength. "Don''t you know the character of our little child here?" "Did you forget how her mother lost her life while trying to protect us?" "What''s more she has more purified bloodline and almost looks like our ancestor," After intimidating all his tribe elders, Zeke continuously said once sentence after another that made all the elders embarrassed. What the grand elder had said was absolutely true. In the hearts of all the elders'' hearts, they knew that Spaorrw would never harm anyone from their tribe. Even when she was bullied by the entire tribe, she never cursed at anyone or hated the ice sparrow tribe; instead, she left the tribe after the level of bullying crossed the limits. "Sorry grand elder for hesitating for giving her honest opinions," all the elders stood up from their seats and bowed to Snow and the grand elder before saying in unison, "Ipletely support Sparrow to be the tribe leader of the ice sparrow tribe and we willpletely help her manage the tribe until she bes clear with all the duties of the tribe leader." The meeting hall was resounded by their words. Looking at the scene in front of her Sparrow was unable to control her tears of joys and cried. Ajax didn''t say anything in reply; instead, he patted her head and looked at the upper echelon of?the ice sparrow tribe and said, "From now on, the three tribes in the Shixato wilds will not have any issues with each other and they have to work together to eliminate all the powerful unevolved spirit beasts." Since all epted Sparrow as their new tribe leader, Ajax didn''t waste any time before saying some of his future ns. Just like the fire crow tribe''s upper echelon, the ice sparrow tribe''s upper echelon also surprised at first but eventually believed that this human was not a normal one. "So, I will announce this to the tribe," After discussing his ns, the grand elder, Zeke, said looking at Sparrow. The rest of the elders nodded their heads and agreed to the grand elder. Soon, they gathered all the evolved tribe members of the Ice sparrow tribe and announced about their new tribe leader. They didn''t say that Sparrow was their old tribe member who was bullied by them and forced to leave the tribe. ''Because of her bloodline and appearance there is no opposition to Sparrow,'' Ajax felt better when everything was going ording to his n. ''Now only one thing is left that is to go back to the Hawk tribe and make Qwerek announce about Snow bing their tribe leader,'' Ajax didn''t stay much time in the ice sparrow tribe as he only had one more day to stay in the five elemental world. So he wanted to finish his minor world before that. "Sparrow, stay here and with the help of the grand elder and other elders rule this ice sparrow tribe well. Also, don''t forget helping Raweth and Snow in helping with the conquering," Before he left the ice sparrow tribe, Ajax said with a smile on his face. In reply, Sparrow nodded her head while crying. Since she was parting ways with Ajax, she felt bad; however, she knew that Ajax had to leave the five elemental world soon. "Don''t cry, Sparrow. I wille here often to see you. So, cultivate and be powerful," Ajax took some time to convince her before leaving the ice sparrow tribe. "Grand Elder Graroth, thanks foring here. You can go back to the fire tribe," Since the reason he hade to the ice sparrow tribe had sessfullypleted in a peaceful way, Ajax smilingly said to the Grand elder. He didn''t wait for Grand elder''s reply before looking at Raweth and said, "Did you remember all things I said?" "Yes master, cultivate, be powerful and at the same time conquer the Shixato wilds before you visit the five elemental world," Raweth politely replied to Ajax. "Good," He was satisfied with Raweth''s attitude and looked at everyone and parted ways with them. ''Twilight,e out,'' After parting ways, Ajax didn''t waste any time before summoning the twilight destructive dragon and along with Snow, they flew away towards the Hawk tribe. ''I never expected that Sparrow''s tribe leader position was that easy whenpared to my other two contracted spirit beasts,'' While flying towards the hawk tribe, Ajax chuckled remembering the events in the ice sparrow tribe which happened very quickly. Within no time, Ajax and others reached the Hawk tribe. After talking with Elder Qwerek, they quickly gathered the crowd in front of the tribe leader''s house. "Hello, my dear tribe members, I am hereby announcing Snow as our tribe leader. Until she bes proficient in handling her tribe leader duties, I will help her," Unlike the other two tribes, the Hawk tribe had directly announced Snow as the tribe leader; instead of asking for their opinions. "Huh?" Ajax was confused at Qwerek''s way of announcing the tribe leader directly without taking the opinions of the majority of the tribe members and felt that it would cause trouble. However, to his surprise, all the tribe members had excited expressions on their faces that made Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Our tribe members don''t have worries when ites to Snow and moreover, they believe how much they believe in our tribe leader" Looking at Ajax''s confused looks, Kraiww exined with a smile on his face. Chapter 439: Completing all the preparations

439 Completing all the preparations

Moreover, Ajax and Snow had saved their tribe multiple times which added another level of belief that Snow would bring them and their tribe towards glory. So, even when they knew that Snow was a contracted spirit beast for a human; they didn''t oppose her because they have faith in Ajax and Snow. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully getting a foothold in the five elemental world. ''Ding, Completely conquer the Shixato wilds and there will be a special reward for the host. "Huh?" All of a sudden, Ajax received two notifications from the system that made him surprised; however, his focus was on the second notification which said that he would gain a special reward forpleting the conquering mission. ''Ding, All three tribes had added to the properties section and all the tribe members of the three tribes would give the same level of respect as their tribe leader. While he was excited about the special reward, Ajax had received another system notification that made him look at the Properties section in the user interface. ''Ding, Properties Low-level Fire spirit stone mine x 1 Tribes x 3 There was not much information about the tribes in that section and Ajax was toozy to check as he already knew everything about the three tribes. "Everyone, tonight there will be a feast regarding our new tribe leader. So, everyonee and enjoy to your heart''s content," After sessfully making Snow as the new tribe leader of the Hawk tribe, the old tribe leader, Qwerek finished the gathering with his final words. Hearing those words, all the tribe members of the Hawk tribe were excited and could not wait for the feast. Soon, all the tribe members of the Hawk tribe had left and gone back to their houses and works. Simrly, the upper echelon of the hawk tribe also returned back to the tribe leader''s house. "Ajax, Snow, let''s go to the tribe leader''s room," Just when Ajax was about to return to his room along with Snow, Qwerek asked them to follow him into the tribe leader''s room. "Sure, elder Qwerek," Ajax also wanted to say something about the other two tribes. So, he nodded his head and slowly followed Qwerek. "Elder Qwerek, all things went as I nned. All three tribes are under the control of my three contract spirit beasts," Ajax didn''t wait for Qwerek and immediately said the events that happened in the past few days. "Good. If we are united then there will be more chances of standing on an equal footing with other powerful regions," Qwerek didn''t feel shocked or surprised as he had confidence in Ajax that he could finish that task easily. So, when a whole region united then it would be having almost the same power or even more than the single tribe from other greater regions. Nevertheless, Ajax and Qwerek were not nning to enter other powerful regions yet. "Snow,e here and take this," After that, Qwerek asked SNow toe forward to take a shining feather that was only the size of a palm. Snow looked at Ajax at first and took the feather after receiving Ajax''s confirmation. "This is the insignia of our lightning hawk tribe. With the help of this you can visit every ce in the whole hawk tribe and also ancient grounds where the three-tribes contest was held," After she took the feather, Qwerek started exining about the uses of the feather. "Ajax, I also have something to give you," Saying that, Qwerek took out the small purple-coloured coin from his space ring and threw it at Ajax. "Find all the effects of this coin and let''s go to the greater worlds once you decipher all the effects," Qwerek looked at the coin in Ajax''s hands and asked him to find out about the other effects of the void breaker. "Huh? Really?" Ajax was shocked to see the mythical grade artifact in his hands as he never thought Qwerek would just give it to him. "Yes. Since you are indirectly the leader of this tribe, I believe you will take care of us," Even if Snow was the tribe leader, at the end of the day, Ajax was the original leader of the three tribes. So, Qwerek decided to go all out andpletely believe Ajax so that he could favour their tribe more than the other two tribes. "Thanks, I will soon find out about all the effects of this coin," Ajax thanked Qwerek and thought for a moment before summoning his avatar from his spirit consciousness. "Elder Qwerek, he is my avatar. So, after I leave the five elemental world, if you have any important news to inform me, say it to him and I will know about it," Ajax briefly said about his avatar. The first thing Qwerek did after looking at the simr being in front of Ajax except for the purple-coloured haired was to rub his eyes and only after confirming that it was real, he looked at Ajax with a surprised face. Many people only know about dolls that were used to clone themselves but only a few knew about avatars as it was impossible to find in normal worlds as they were only avable in greater worlds. Even in the greeted worlds, it was very rare to find them. So, Qwerek who knew about avatars was shocked and didn''t know what to say and remained silent. ''I think, it''s my hawk tribe''s fortuitous encounter to meet someone like Ajax. I hope he will be powerful and lead my tribe and five elemental world towards glory,'' Qwerek silently thought in his head and hoped Ajax to be powerful and not to die prematurely. What was the biggest disadvantage of a genius? It was that they needed time to be powerful and fully use talent. Without time, even a god-level genius would be an ant in the eyes of powerful cultivators. So, Qwerek sincerely hoped Ajax would be powerful without dying prematurely. "Elder Qwerek, these are my ns...," Soon Ajax and Qwerek discussed conquering the Shixato wilds in a detailed way for more than an hour. In their discussions, Ajax mentioned many times that all three tribes have to work together. Only then, they would be sessful. "Okay, Ajax. I will do as you say," Qwerek felt that Ajax had almost no errors and nodded his head; however, all of sudden, he thought about something and asked, "When are you leaving the five elemental world." Although Qwerek doesn''t know how Ajax would leave the five elemental world, he never thought to ask about it and only asked when he was leaving. "Tomorrow," Ajax replied in a single word and Qwerek nodded his head to his reply. ''Ding, The Void breaker is reacting to Snow¡­ Move closer to Snow. All of a sudden, a system notification came to Ajax''s mind that made him shocked. Chapter 440: Changes to the five elemental world

440 Changes to the five elemental world

"What is happening?" Although Ajax had some idea because of the system idea, he muttered along with Qwerek, who was even more shocked than Ajax. Because that coin was with him for more than 50 years and it never gave any response even when Qwerek experimented with many methods he knows. "Wait for a second, Elder Qwerek," Ajax asked Qwerek to wait before he moved towards Snow with the shining coin in his hands. Each step he took towards Snow, the coin shined even more brightly that made Ajax''s heart excited for some unknown reason. ''Ding, A mythical grade artifact wants to ept Snow as its master. Do you give permission for Snow to ept it as her master? When he was only one step away from Snow, the coin shined even more brightly that made him and Qwerek unable to see anything. However, amidst that bright light, a system notification came to his mind that made his heart almost explode with excitement. Since a weapon or artifact that reached the legendary grade, they would form their own consciousness along with their own soul. However, when the same weapon or artifact reaches a mythical grade, no one knows what would happen as they were no records of about mythical grade weapons or artifacts. ''Although there are no records about mythical grade artifacts or weapons, it is possible that there were many of them in the past before the great war between humans and demons,'' Ajax thought in his head and wanted to know what were the benefits of a mythical grade artifactpared to a legendary artifact. ''I approve,'' Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions and hurriedly replied to the system. ''Ding, Forming a bond between the void breaker and Snow. Please wait. As soon as he approved, another system notification came to his head that asked him to wait. Along with that notification, some lightning sparks came out of the coin and entered into Snow. Small sparks of lightning were continuously entered into Snow''s body one by one. It didn''t take much time before that process came to an end. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s spirit beast for sessfully forming a bond with a mythical level artifact. "Is it over?" All of a sudden the bright light that''s blinding their sight vanished into thin air making Ajax and Qwerek rub their eyes to see properly. After rubbing their eyes, they curiously looked at the coin. However, just as their eyesnded on it, the coin which was hovering in the mid-air in front of Snow shined brightly once again making them blind for a moment. ''Ding, A small link has formed between the five elemental world and the human world and many other smaller worlds. Due to some mysterious power from the void breaker, all the smaller worlds that are connected with the five elemental world by a weak link, now have thee time speed. ''Ding, Most of the smaller worlds have the same time speed of 1 hour in those worlds is equal to a day in the five elemental world. So, the time speed of the five elemental world will be simr to the other smaller worlds. ''What did this coin do? Why? Why did it change the time period?" Ajax became anxious at first and then bitterly shook his head as he still didn''t understand why the time speed in the five elemental world had changed all of sudden. However, he was sure about one thing. The coin in front of snow had something to do with the time change. ''How can this artifact have the power to change the entire time speed of the five elemental world?'' Ajax''s head was filled with many questions as he still felt there was something more to the coin. "What happened, Ajax?" Qwerek only lost sight for a while because of the bright light from the void breaker. So, when his sight came back, he saw Ajax had an anxious expression on his face and asked him. "Nothing. It..it''s just..." ''Ding, Due to the sudden change in time speed in the five elemental world, the host has almost reached the end of his stay. Please be prepared that the host will be transferred back to the human world in 5 minutes. Just as Ajax was finding it difficult to exin a reason for his anxiousness, the system had given him another shock. Nevertheless, he suppressed his shock and continued, "It''s just that I have to leave this five elemental world in a few minutes." Ajax stopped for a second and said, "So, elder Qwerek, please help Snow and others and if there is anything important please say it to my avatar." Ajax hurriedly gave his final instructions to Qwerek before leaving the tribe leader''s room with Snow. "What is happening?" "Huh? Looks like the artifact has been activated," "Why am I feeling there is a slight change in the time," At the same moment, in various ces of the five elemental world, all the powerful figures who were in the seclusive cultivations woke up from their slumbers at the same time as Ajax got the system notifications. Although many were still in the dark, some of the old monsters were able to guess it right before closing the eyes and returned back to their cultivation. There were some powerful monsters that even noticed the change in the time speed which was almost impossible for a resident of the five elemental world to know about the time speed; however, those old monsters were very sensitive towards nature and immediately noticed it. They only opened their eyes for a few breaths and stopped bothering about it and return back to their cultivations. ... "Snow, I don''t have much time left here in the five elemental world," Aftering out of the tribe leader''s room, Ajax and Snow went to his room before Ajax talked with Snow. "Don''t be sad. I wille again soon. Don''t follow my n and there is no hurry inpleting the conquering mission. So, don''t take any unnecessary risks....," Ajax continuously gave her a set of instructions in an emotional tone. Even though Snow wanted to not cry in front of Ajax, she was unable to hold back her tears and started crying. "It''s only a temporary separation. I wille back again in a month or so. Also, take care of that coin. After Ie back I will find out more about it. Moreover, since you are its master, you can also try to find out its effects," Ajax looked at the coin in Snow''s hands; however, he didn''t dare to appraise the effects of the void breaker. Soon, the five minutes given by the system waspleted and a portal appeared in front of Ajax. The other side of the portal waspletely filled with many trees and small bushes. "Okay, Snow. See you soon," Ajax was also said to leave three of his contracted spirit beasts in the five elemental world but he had to do it to be powerful and then he could finish his revenge on the assassin sect. Even though his heart was aching seeing Snow with a crying face, he suppressed his emotion and entered into the portal. Chapter 441: Return

441 Return

After he left, the room was in aplete silence. ''Whizz'' Amidst that silence, the Void breaker in Snow''s hand started vibrating in a low frequency as it made a small noise which was barely audible. Snow, who was still looking at the ce where the portal was closed and disappeared. So, she didn''t feel the vibrations in her hand. The coin only vibrated for a few seconds before stopping which made it impossible for Snow to notice it. ''I need to be powerful and conquer this Shixato wilds as soon as possible,'' After staring at the empty space for a while, Snow muttered and swore to before powerful while looking at Ajax''s avatar who was sitting on a bed. Even though Ajax had told her to take it slow in conquering the Shixato wilds, Snow decided to finish that as soon as possible. So, she immediately went to her new room (Which was the tribe leader''s room) and seriously started cultivating. As for Ajax''s avatar, he took Ajax''s room and thought about his master''s orders. Before Ajax entered the portal, he gave some orders to his avatar. So, he pondered them once again. ''One, I need to report all the information to the master once in a week and if it urgent I can inform directly,'' ''Two, I need to regrly visit three tribes and keep an eye on the behaviours of the tribe members and elders of each tribe,'' ''Three, Visit the spirit stone mine once in a while and talk with the guardian there,'' These were the three main orders Ajax had given to his avatar. ...¡­.. "Phew...finally back," Ajax finally heaved a sigh of relief when he returned back to the human world. He didn''t have any idea about the coin that vibrated when he left the five elemental world. ''Remember my orders,'' The first thing he did after returning back was to try tomunicate with his avatar. Even though he was sure that his avatar would follow his orders, he wanted to test themunication between the two worlds. ''Yes master,'' Only when he got the reply Ajax was relieved and looked at his spirit consciousness. ''Damn, just for those three words, my essence of nature is reduced by 10 percent,'' After checking it, Ajax was shocked to find the consumption and thought, ''I need to use this only when I have any instructions to them.'' Although he knew that the consumption to send his words to his avatar was huge, he didn''t expect it to be that huge. As for receiving the information from the avatar only cost him a few units of essence of?nature. "I need to quickly meet up with the Captai Edmond and others," Looking at the pitch ck darkness around him, he silently muttered while running in the direction of Edmond and others with the help of Darbaudr''s presence. ..... ''Phew...master is finally back,'' All of a sudden, Darbaudr, who was resting peacefully opened his eyes.and heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed Ajax was nearby. "Darbaudr, it''s been a while, where did your master really go?" Udo, who was keeping an eye on Darbaudr, asked him immediately when he saw that Barbarian opened his eyes. "Sigh...why are you very interested in my master?" Instead of answering, Darbaudr stood up and asked Udo a question. "I just¡­.," "Anyway, he will be here any moment now," Before Udo could answer, Darbaudr interrupted him and said while walking towards the huge boulder. "Huh?" Hearing Darbaudr''s words, Udo raised his brows and didn''t ask him before went back to his position and sat down. It was a little more than 10 hours since Ajax had left this group and went into five elemental world. So, except for Levi, the rest of the group had awakened from their sleep and was waiting for Edmond to heal his injuries. Levi still had some injuries from the fight in the dimensional crevice, so he was still weak and unable to keep up with others. As for Edmond, he asked everyone to wait for some time as he said that he had something to say after he healed his injuries which were almost healed after consuming many types of healing pills. ''Where did Ajax go? It''s been more than 10 hours already,'' Edmond searched for Ajax in the group'' however, he didn''t find him. So, he thought in his head. Udo only knew that Ajax had left the group for 3 hours but Edmond knew that Ajax was away from the moment he went into sleep. So, he was worried about Ajax. "Where is Ajax? Did you see him?" "Huh? He was here only when I went to sleep," "Same, I saw him before I went to sleep," The Godsons and goddaughters of Edmond looked for Ajax to ask something but they were unable to find him. "Look, there he is," Amidst their discussions, Snow storm pointed her finger in a certain direction. "Huh? Did he make a breakthrough in his cultivation?" "I think, he did," "Looks like he will soon cross our cultivations" Everyone looked in the direction and saw Ajax, who was looking more powerful than before they hadst seen and were surprised while they started discussing about Ajax. ''He became powerful again. What is it that makes him breakthrough just like that?'' As the nine sons and daughter of Edmond were discussing about Ajax''s strength, Udo also looked at Ajax and thought in his head. Soon, Ajax reached the group and mingled into the group to avoid Udo''s questioning. ''Pheww...Thank god, Darbaudr already informed me about Udo. Otherwise, he would have asked me various questions,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after joining into the discussions of the nine young cultivators. Before he even reached the group, Darbaudr had already informed him about Udo and asked him to be prepared to escape his questions. So, Ajax only greeted him before mingling with the young cultivators. ''Sigh...Senior brother Levi is still not awakened,'' Ajax sighed looking at the distant Levi, who looked better than when Ajax had left to the five elemental world. "Everyone,e here. I have something to discuss," When Edmond saw Ajax, he asked everyone to gather around him. All the young cultivators nodded their heads and gathered around Edmond. "Udo and Darbaudr, you too join us," Seeing that Udo and Darbaudr were still away from him, Edmond asked both of them to join. Soon, the whole group gathered around Edmond and sat down to listen to what Edmon wanted to say to them. "So, everyone recovered their strengths?" Edmond started with a question to which all of them nodded their heads. "Good, So how many of you want to train somewhere that is very dangerous," Edmond looked at each and every young cultivator''s face before continuing, "Even a moment of carelessness in that ce would cost you your life." When he said hister sentence, Edmond said with a serious face that made all the young cultivators shiver while looking at everyone''s faces carefully. ***** Try reading my new book :- My Cultivation System Chapter 442: Demon Killer

442 Demon Killer

All of Edmond''s godsons and goddaughters only shivered a little but that fear was suppressed by the fire inisde them that wanted them to be powerful. So, without any hesitation, they all agreed in unison. "I have no problem with training anywhere, Captain Edmond," Ajax also nodded his head and agreed. There was not a single reason for him to not to go to a ce where it could help him be powerful. If he became powerful, then the revenge he wanted to seek would be finished sooner. However, before that he needs to find his friends. For that also, he needs power. Even though the possibility of them alive was less, he wanted to believe that they were still alive. Overall, bing powerful would only help him in many ways, so he would never give up any chance to be powerful. After Ajax agreed, Edmond looked at Udo for a second and lightly smiled. Finally, he looked at Darbaudr, who in return slightly nodded his head in agreement. ...¡­.. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' As Edmond was discussing something with his group, somewhere in the cursed abyss, huge sting sounds could be heard to some kilometers. That ce waspletely covered with fire and smoke. Amidst them, two figures could be seen fighting with each other with full intensity. One figure was a middle-aged human, who was fully equipped with an armour suit from top to bottom and with a heavy sword in his hand. The de of that sword was as thick as the middle-aged man himself. Another figure was a demon that had two huge horns with a hideous face. In his hand, there were many small ck balls. "Didn''t you say that you will fight face to face without those cheap tricks?" The human distanced himself from the demon and asked him with a cold expression on his face. "Hehe...why are you behaving like a little kid. When do we, demons, follow our words," The demon looked at the human and mocked him before continuing saying, "I heard many great things about you, the great Demon Killer. But looks like those are only rumours." The middle-aged man was none other than Demon killer, the captain of the number one mercenary squad. However, he was nowpletely covered in injuries and he was barely standing on the ground with the help of his heavy sword. "You must be wondering why I am mocking you even though I used these little creations of mine, right?" The demon whose cultivation was around the low-level of the elite general realm asked the Demon Killer. "Don''t worry, I will give an answer to you for that before killing you...Hehe," Wordly suppression was the suppression given by a certain world on the residents of the other worlds, whoe to that world. The suppression of different otherworldly beings was different. But mostly the suppression was on the cultivations only. "Haha...you bastards...I will kill everyst one of them," All of a sudden the demon killer startedughing while looking in a specific direction as though he saw someone wasing to his rescue. "Huh?" the demon general turned towards that direction and looked to see who gave the injured human in front of him that much confidence. "I said I will kill you myself then why are you looking somewhere else?" As soon as the demon general turned his back at the Demon killer, he appeared behind the demon while shing the huge sword horizontally. The demon general didn''t even have time to react towards the sh then how could he even dodge it. ''sh'' The heavy sword passed through the demon general waist and his upper body was separated from the lower body. ''Phew...this demon was easily tricked...I should not have used that red paper crane,'' Even the demon killer heaved a sigh of relief, his heart ached when he thought about using the red-coloured paper crane. The red-coloured paper crane was very important for him, so when he used it for nothing, the demon killer''s heartfelt painful. ''I hope my squad is still alive,'' the next thing he thought about his squad members before the side effects of hisst attack kicked in and made him weak all of a sudden before copsing onto the ground. Thest time he saw his squad members were a few hours ago when they were surrounded by a group of demon generals. Each of his squad members took one demon general to fight head-on whereas the demon killer took the leader of the demon group and separated from the group while fighting with him. As soon as a demon broke into the general realm, they were called Demon generals and even elite generals in the demons were called as demon generals; however, all those who have the general realm cultivation would follow the orders of the elite general demon without any hesitation. "Well well well, I didn''t expect you to still have a trick under your sleeve. No wonder, you are called Demon killer for nothing," Just when he thought that the battle with the demon general was over, the demon killer saw the two parts of the demon general he had just killed attached together and became just like before and started speaking with a hideous grin on his face. ''What the hell? I need to do something?'' The demon killer was totally shocked at the scene in front of him as he had never seen it before. However, he was unable to stand and had no way to escape from the demon general now. So his brain started thinking about a n to escape from the demon general in front of him who was slowly walking towards him. "ording to the information I got, you killed more than 100 low-level demon generals and more than 10 mid-level demon generals and 1 high-level demon general," While moving towards the demon killer, the demon general praised him for his previous records. To his words, the demon killer didn''t say anything as his brain was busy thinking for a n to escape. Although it was not his first time for him to face situations like this, this could be considered the worst among all the situations he had faced before. Still, he didn''t give up his hopes in escaping. ''If ites to worst, then I will simplymit suicide,'' This was the backup n, his mind thought of the things became impossible for him to escape. Demon Killer hated the demons to his core as for the reason no one knows. Some say his parents were killed by demons while some say his wife and child were killed by them. There were even some people that said, he was doing all this because he was a righteous man and something along those lines. "Thinking ofmitting suicide?" When the demon general came near to the demon killer, he chuckled looking at the demon killer. **** Try reading my new book :- My Cultivation System Chapter 443: Mercenary king

''Why can''t I move? Is this one of his tricks?'' Demon killer for the first time after many years became anxious when he sensed that he was unable to move. "Huh? Are you anxious now? Good," the demon general looked at the Demon killer who was immobilized on the ground and satisfyingly nodded his head before continuing, "I know people like you hate to die in the hands of my kind. So, I will kill you with my own hands and see the despair in your eyes." ''Damn it. I can''t even control my essence of nature...Am I really going to die in the hands of this demon scumbag,'' Demon Killer never feared about his death but what he feared the most was dying in the hands of demons whom he hated to his core. "Don''t worry. I will let you watch how your life goes away from you slowly and painfully," The demon general took out a small ck needle from his left hand and pierced it into the shoulder of the demon killer. ''Aargh'' As soon as the demonic needle pierced into his shoulder, the demon killer felt an unbearable pain from it and shouted out loud. However, he only shouted for a few minutes before he felt his left shoulder be numb. "Damn you demon," Demon killer cursed the demon with a hateful expression on his face. "You must be wondering why you only felt pain for a few minutes. Don''t worry. The more I pierce you the needle, the longer the pain will stay...Hehe," The demon general cunningly smiled as he exined the process and pierced the same needle into his other shoulder. ''Aarghh,'' Demon killer shouted even more loudly than before and the pain in his right shoulder alsosted more than thest time before his right shoulder also became numb. "Not bad, you are still awake and looking in a good condition. I think I should try multiple needles," the demon general was impressed by the demon killer''s endurance and took out many needles from his left hand which apparently came from inside his body. The process continued for some time as the demon general continued to pierce the needle into various parts of the demon killer''s body. In return, the demon killer continuously groaned in pain with the needle piercings. ''I think, I can''t endure another one,'' He gritted his teeth and looked into the sky before saying, ''I aming to you without fulfilling my oath. I hope you both will not be angry with me.'' While saying that, the demon killer closed his eyes and epted his fate to die in the hands of a demon. Nevertheless, the only thing that made him happy was that he would be finally joining his family. "Now, I will let you show the true pain," As he said that he grabbed the bunch of needles in each hand before trying to pierce them into the demon killer''s chest. ''Whoosh,'' ''Pchuk'' Just when the needles were about to touch the demon killer''s body, a small green leaf came from a specific direction and pierced through the demon general''s body. "Who?" The demon general didn''t bother the ck blood that was rushing out from the wound and looked at the direction from which that small lead hade and became alerted. "How dare a lowly demon try to kill one of my captains," From that direction, an old but loud voice resounded to his ears. "Another human? Why don''t youe forward and fight like a brave man?" An unknown enemy was the most dangerous enemy, one could ever have. So, the demon general stopped paying attention to the demon killer and shouted in that direction. "Haha¡­," What came in return to his question was a loudugh that almost made his ears bleed and the fear inside him intensified even more. "Even your demon king would not dare to say that to me, the mercenary king, toe forward and fight with him. Whereas you a lowly demon want to fight with me," the old voice continued to make the demon general shiver with each of his words, "Also, do you know the strength of a mercenary king?" "You are very lucky human; however, your death will be in my hands," After hearing the old voice from a distance, the demon general didn''t hesitate a second before looking at the demon killer and warned him before crushing a small ball in his hands. As soon as he crushed it,?the area surrounding him waspletely filled with ck smoke and made others not to see what was happening inside that smoke. That ck smoke didn''tst for much longer before disappearing. After the ck smoke disappeared, there was only a demon killer, who was barely consciously lying on the ground. As for the demon general, he disappeared without a trace. "Phew...Rulf, go and check on the demon killer and use all the high-grade medicines you have in your space ring," The old voice muttered slowly. After those words, two people came out from that direction. One was an old man and the other was a middle-aged man. They were none other than the mercenary guild master and his sub-ordinate Rulf. "Okay, guild master," Rulf looked at the old man beside him with many questions in his head but he suppressed his curiosity and immediately rushed towards the demon killer and made him swallow various high-grade healing pills. "Also, give him the green lotus''s seeds to consume. They will help him in healing sooner," The guild master ordered Rulf to give some more medicines. Without any hesitation, Rulf took out some seeds that were glowing with green lustre and threw them into the demon killer''s mouth. Soon, the injuries on the demon killer''s body healed at a rapid pace that would make average cultivators shocked. ''Guild master, all his injuries are stabilized and it will take some time for him to wake; however, he still needs a few days to achieve his peak strength,'' After a few minutes, Rulf checked the demon killer''s condition and reported it to the guild master before standing up and walked towards the guild master. "Good," the guild master nodded his head and looked into the distance before bing serious all of a sudden and said to Rulf, "Take care of him, I wille in a few minutes." As soon as he said that, the old man disappeared from his position without waiting for Rulf''s reply. Rulf looked at the direction that the guild master had left and shook his head before walking back to the demon killer. "You came at the right moment. Thanks for your healing treasures," By the time, Rulf returned back to the demon killer, he had opened his eyes and thanked Rulf. "What the..." Rulf became shocked while looking at the demon killer as though he was looking at a monster. **** Try reading my new book :- My Cultivation System Chapter 444: Legendary guild master

444 Legendary guild master

''No wonder, all the mercenaries called him a monster. With this kind of healing speed, he can basically survive from any situation unless he is killed in one shot,'' Rulf suppressed his shock and sat near the demon killer and asked him about the earlier events. "Rulf, where is the guild master?" However, instead of saying about it, the demon killer asked about the Guild master with an anxious face. "Don''t worry, he went to save your squad members. He wille here in a few minutes," Rulf knew that the demon killer was worried about his squad members, so he answered his question and tried to calm the demon killer. "Phew" Hearing Rulf''s words, the demon killer heaved a sigh of relief and started exining how he had ended up in a situation like this. "We came here by following the trials of the demons after taking up the mission in the mercenary guild...¡­," He said about everything like being surrounded by the demon generals and separating from the group and finally tortured by the demon general before he was saved by the Guild master. "Damn these demons. Recently there are more and moreing into our world," Rulf clenched his fist while he said those words and continued to discuss more with the demon killer. ...¡­.. As the demon killer and Rulf were discussing in the cursed abyss, the guild master already reached the other squad members of the Demon killer mercenary squad who were fighting with the demon generals. Instead of saying fighting, it was better to say that they were barely about to stop the attacks from the demons. "Why did they force these squad members into the cursed wilderness? What are they nning actually?" The guild master looked at the 5 squad members who were totally covered in injuries from top to bottom and thought inside his head when he saw where they were all fighting. He was thought like that because the fight was going on in the cursed wilderness and not in the cursed abyss. Originally, the top two mercenary squads ''Demon Killer'' and ''Blood Rose'' separated and entered Cursed abyss and cursed wilderness respectively to search for demons. However, now these demon generals separated the captain from the rest of the squad and forced the remaining members into the cursed wilderness which made the guild master puzzle at the actions of the demons. ''First, I will kill these low-level demon generals and think about all these questions after that,'' He shook his head and disappeared from his ce before appearing behind each demon general and killed him with a simple punch. "Everyone, go to you Captain and take rest," When they heard the words from an old man, except for one squad member, all of them looked at each other as though they were unable to recognize who this old man was. "Yes sir, thanks for saving us" As the four squad members were still in shock from how easily the old man in front of them had killed all the five demon generals in a few strikes, one of the five men bowed and respectively replied to him. "Let''s go," He knew that his squad members still didn''t recognize the guild master, so he hurriedly took them away with him. "Brother, do you know him?" "Vice-captain, He is more powerful than our captain, right?" Along the way, the four squad members continuously asked different questions to the one who had replied earlier to the old man. "He is none other than our mercenary guild''s guild master," the vice captain''s reply made them halt in their tracks for a second before looking back at the old man who had a serious expression on his face and continued to run behind their vice-captain. "Stop looking at him and run properly," The four squad members looked back once in a while with excited looks on their faces. So, the vice-captain scolded them to run properly. Even though their bodies werepletely covered in injuries, they forgot the pain from those injuries when they learned that they had met the legendary guild master. The guild master of the mercenary guild was a legendary being for all the mercenaries. He could be considered as a role model because there were many stories of his adventures that no one in the Zrochester province would dare to do. So, they looked back at him again and again. ''Being a vice-captain of a top mercenary squad really helps to see the legendary person,'' This was the only thought in all the heads of the squad members and envied their vice-captain. ... "So, you are ready to train in that ce even at the cost of your life?" In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Edmond looked at the group of young cultivators in front of him and asked one final time. "Yes" Ajax and other young cultivators nodded their heads with faces full of seriousness. "Good," Edmond nodded his head and slowly stood up from his ce before looking at Darbaudr and asked, "Can you open the portal now?" When they heard his words, the rest of the group looked at Darbaudr with puzzled expressions on their faces. Even Udo was looking at Darbaudr with a surprised look. He didn''t know that Edmond was relying on Darbaudr to open that portal. He only thought that Edmond found a way to open it. "Are you sure? You still looked tired?" Darbaudr didn''t answer Edmond; instead, he looked at Edmond''s face who still looked tired and asked about his condition. "I am good. There is no need to worry about me," Edmond shook his head with a small smile on his face and said he was fine. "Okay then. I will try to open it," Since Edmond was sure about his head, Darbaudr moved away from the group and sat crossed legged in front of the huge boulder. "Captain Edmond, what is that ce?" Ajax asked Edmond as Darbaudr was busy with something. "Yes Godfather, where is that ce. Is it that dangerous?" Just after Ajax asked his question, the rest of godsons and goddaughters asked about the ce where they were going to train. As for Udo, he didn''t ask anything, as he already knew about the ce but he didn''t answer them instead waited for Edmond to say about that ce on his own. "The ce where we are going to train is none other than ''Demon world'', Haha," Edmond said with a loudugh at the end of his sentence and looked at the expressions on each young cultivator''s faces. "What?" All of the young cultivators, including Ajax, were shocked by the words of?Edmond and shouted out loud. ******** Note:- The cursed abyss and the cursed wilderness are connected side by side. Chapter 445: Demon physique pills

Even if they could enter, it was impossible to survive in that world as it was not at all suitable for other beings to sustain therge amounts of demonic essence of nature in it. Moreover, they didn''t expect that they were going to train in the demon world. So, they were shocked at Edmond''s answer. "Godfather, how are we going to enter the demon world?" the captain of the Edmond''s adopted children asked with a serious face. "It''s thanks to Darbaudr, we are going to enter and how we are entering into the demon world, don''t ask me. You will know soon enough," Edmond pointed at Darbaudr, who was meditating in front of the huge boulder and asked them to not to ask about their method of entering the demon world. Everyone nodded their heads and looked at the?Barbarian with excited expressions on their faces. Even though they were scared about the Demon World, the fire in their hearts to be a powerful cultivator made them excited about their training and looked forward to it. "Captain Edmond, isn''t it impossible to survive in the demon world for us?" Ajax knew something about the demon world too, so he asked the other question that was in the minds of the young cultivators. "Haha...you are more knowledgeable than I initially meet you, Ajax," Edmondughed at Ajax as he joked with him before continued saying, "I know that and I have a solution for that too...hehe." Edmond smiled mysteriously as he took out small porcin bottles from his space rings before giving them to each of the young cultivators. Ajax carefully took the small porcin bottle into his hand and looked into it. Inside the porcin bottle, there were 10 ck coloured pills that gave a horrible smell from them. ''Ding, Item name:- Demon physique pills Grade:- High grade (Rank 3). Description:- A pill that could temporarily transform the inner physique of any being into a demon and help them survive in the demon world. Time limit:- 1 pill effect canst for an hour. The first thing, Ajax did after taking the bottle was to find the information about the pills with the help of the system. As soon as he did that, a holographic screen appeared in front of him that gave theplete details of the ck coloured pill. ''Good...but the smell is making me think, is it even consumable?'' Ajax felt that the demon was a perfect one for them, who were going into the demon world; however, the smell from the pill made him doubt it. Nevertheless, since the system had already said that it was not harmful, he could consume it without any fear. ''Since I can use the system to find out about it instantly, then why to bother using the long method,'' this was the thought inside his head when he used the system to find out about the ck pill. "This pill is called a Demon physique pill and it helps you survive in the demon world. Also, consume them with one-hour intervals," As Ajax had already found out about the ck pill, Edmond slowly exined about the effects to the young cultivators. "Captain Edmond, bad news," Just as Edmond was finished exining about the pill effects, Darbaudr opened his eyes and said with a worried look on his face. "Huh? What happened?" Edmond became anxious all of a sudden and hurriedly walked towards Darbaudr and asked him about the bad news. "The portal to the demon world is moved away from here," Darbaudr''s words made Edmond''s anxiousness increase to another level. "Is there no other way?" Edmond hurriedly asked as he checked his surroundings to think about something. ''I should not lose this opportunity like this...I am very close topleting my n and this¡­.,'' Just as they Edmond was thinking about his n that he nned for years and thought it would be dyed by this portal and sighed; however, his thoughts were interrupted by Darbaudr, "There is a way but it will take some time and energy for me to find that ce where this demon world''s portal os moved to." "What? Do it..do it. As long as you help me find and open the demon world''s portal I owe you big time," Edmond anxiously said to Darbaudr and asked him to open the portal at any cost and even said that he would return the favour in the future. "I will try my best but It will take time," Darbaudr nodded his head and closed his eyes. The reason he was trying to find the portal to the demon world was not only because of Edmond but it was for his sake. He wanted to take revenge on the demons for killing his tribe and sealing his cultivation. So, that hatred made him use his full focus in searching for the portal. ''So, they are trying to find the portal,'' Ajax understood the situation and thought in his head. While Darbaudr was trying his best to find the portal to the demon world, everyone silently looked at him and hoped that he could find it soon. "Pheww...finally found the rough location of where the portal might be," After more than 30 minutes, Darbaudr opened his eyes and informed Edmond with a relieved expression on his face. "That''s fast. Where is it?" Edmond was excited that Darbaudr found the location within 30 minutes and he also heaved a sigh of relief before asking the location. "Don''t be happy that soon. I found 8 locations that the portal to the demon world can be shifted from here," Darbaudr poured cold water on Edmond''s happiness. "No problem, it''s good," Hearing that, Edmond became worried but still, he thought it was better than nothing. "But the good thing is all the 8 locations are within the five kilometers radius from this point," Darbaudr said some good thing that made Edmond finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Let''s search one by one then," Edmond knew only Darbaudr could sense the fluctuations from the portal, so he had no choice but search them one by one. Darbaudr nodded his head and looked at Ajax. ''I need to go to that ce in the map and im the dimensional crevice,'' As for Ajax, he was busy thinking about the ownerless dimensional crevice that was situated in the cursed abyss. ''Also, it''s been a few days since Volcanis entered the second room and there is still no notification from the system about the battle, let''s see,'' After thinking about the ownerless dimensional crevice for a while, he remembers about Volcanis who entered the second room to fight with Cerberus. As he didn''t get any system notification regarding his battle, he wanted to check on him. However, before he could check on Volcanis, he was interrupted by Darbaudr''s voice transmission and looked at him. Chapter 446: Udos thoughts

446 Udo''s thoughts

Darbaudr''s voice resounded in Ajax''s head as he asked him to help them in searching the eight possible locations that the demon world''s portal might have shifted to. Darbaudr knew that Ajax could sense various elements, so he assumed that he could also sense the space elements in the surroundings. However, he didn''t dare to openly ask for Ajax''s help fearing that his young master doesn''t want others to know about that. ''No problem,'' Ajax slightly smiled as he nodded his head in reply to Darbaudr''s request. Ajax noticed the anxiousness on Edmond''s face and he could say how important it was to find the demon world''s portal for Edmond and decided to help Darabudr in reducing the time taken to find out the portal''s exact location. ''Thanks, master, you take the four locations on the left-hand side and I will take the right side ones,'' Darbaudr hurriedly thanked Ajax and divided the eight locations before sharing four locations with Ajax. "Captain Edmond, apany Ajax in searching the 4 possible locations of the portal," After receiving Ajax''s permission, Darbaudr asked Edmond to apany Ajax when he searches for the demon world''s portal. "Huh?" Edmond raised his brows but soon his expression became normal before nodding his head and asked, "Does Ajax know where those four locations are?" Edmond didn''t think much about Ajax''s affinity towards space elemental in nature. For his, as long as they found the portal to the demon world, he was satisfied with it. "Yes, I already shared those four locations with the young master through the spirit link. As long as he reaches the location, he will know about those four locations," Darbaudr exined there was no need to worry as he already gave the rough idea on those locations to Ajax. "Good. Let''s hurry up," Edmond nodded his head and was impressed by Darbaudr''s nning. Although it was not a very great n, Edmond was impressed as it was known that barbarians were known to be less gifted in brains and more gifted in brawns. "Then, let''s meet after finding the exact location of the portal before informing each other," After that, Darbaudr disappeared from his ce saying that he would inform them if he found the portal and asked them to do the same. Ajax and Edmond nodded their heads and before looking at others who were silently listening to their conversation. "Everyone, stay here until we find the portal for the demon world," Edmond ordered all the young cultivators to stay where they were and looked at Udo before saying, "Take care of them." "Good. Let''s go Ajax," Soon, Edmond and Ajax had run in the left side from their location in the search of the four locations within the five kilometer radius. "What a surprise that Ajax could not only sense normal elements but he can also sense the auxiliary element like Space," "No wonder, he is very strong even with his low cultivation realm," "If by chance he forms a contract with a space elemental spirit, then he will be one of the top cultivators in the Zrochester province," After Ajax and Edmond left from the huge boulder location, the young cultivators once again started their gossip about Ajax. Forming a contract with any of the auxiliary elemental spirits would make others fear the summoner because they were normally stronger than any regr cultivator and other normal elemental spirits. What''s more, if Ajax could form a contract with a space elemental spirit which belongs to the top category among the auxiliary elemental spirits. So, they felt that Ajax had a chance to be the top cultivator in the Zrochester province and he could start his own family or sect with his power. "To happen that, he needs to be alive until he bes powerful," All their gossips came to an end with the interruption of Udo and looked at Udo with puzzled looks on their faces. Seeing their puzzled looks, Udo shook his head before exining, "Do you know how much time Ajax has taken to reach his present cultivation? Only a couple of months and if anyone knows about his cultivation speed, there many will be many top cultivation sects and families that will hunt him down at any cost for his secrets." Udo didn''t give any chance for the young cultivators to talk as he continued, "Moreover, even I doubt that he is using some unconventional methods to increase his cultivation. So, be careful with him as we still don''t know about himpletely." Udo didn''t bother about the young cultivators thinking about him being against Ajax as he stated his thoughts in a straightforward manner. When the young cultivators had heard those words all of them had fallen into a dilemma and started thinking more about Udo''s words. ''Even I, the cultivation genius of my family took more than a couple of years to reach elitemander. This looks like there is something really odd about Ajax''s way of cultivation,'' This was themon thought in all the minds of the young cultivators. There was nothing wrong in their thoughts as they were the cultivation geniuses of their families before they were destroyed. So, they thought about Ajax''s cultivation for sometime beforeing to a conclusion. ''Since godfather believes him, there is nothing to suspect in Ajax,'' Soon, they didn''t think much about Ajax as they haveplete faith in Edmond whereas Edmond hadplete faith in Ajax. "Anyway, these are all my thoughts and I am not forcing anyone to believe me or question Ajax for his secrets. It''s better to be careful than to regretter," Udo knew what these 9 cultivators were thinking and said those words before going near to Levi and sat beside him. To Udo''s words, all the young cultivators nodded their heads before sitting near to Udo and started meditating. After thinking about Ajax''s cultivation speed they didn''t dare to waste any time sitting idle and started cultivating to increase their strengths. .... As Ajax and Darbaudr were busy with finding the location to the demon world, the guild master of the mercenary guild looked at his surroundings and started searching for something. However, he was unable to find anything from the bodies of the demon generals. ''Let me try this,'' Since he was unable to find anything from their bodies, he proceeded to the next level and started searching inside the heads of the demon generals. ''Damn these demon generals, they are very low level even in the ranks of the demons,'' After searching four demon general''s heads, he found out nothing from them as they turned out to belong to lower ranks and didn''t have much ess to the information. ''I hope at least he has some information inside his head since he is looking more powerful than them,'' Soon the guild master''s eyesnded on the final demon general and thought inside his head. Chapter 447: Demon worlds portal

447 Demon world''s portal

''But why did they try to separate the demon killer mercenary squad? Also, what are they doing here?'' He was not surprised by the demon''s n to attack the mercenary guild; however, what made him puzzled was the actions of the demons. "There is nothing in the cursed Abyss except for the death energy which is not that useful for the demons whenpared to the demon essence of nature in the demon world. So, why?" After thinking about the reason behind the demon''s actions he was still unable to find their motive and shook his head. "Anyway, I should go back and alert all the mercenaries about this attack on the mercenary guild," Since he was unable to find their motive, the guild master finally decided to return back to the demon killer''s location and then go back to the mercenary guild to alert others. He was not a normal mercenary thatcked experience. He was called the king of mercenaries for a reason. He was known for his adaptability to any kind of situation and he could clearly analyse any situations and n ording to it. So, he didn''t waste time on something that he was unable to find and decided to return back to the guild before facing the demon head-on. ... As the guild master was returning to the demon killer''s location, Ajax stood in front of a swamp with his eyes closed and tried to sense the space elements to find the portal to the demon world. Behind him, there was a huge swamp crocodile thatid lifelessly on the ground. Upon its body, Edmond sat and looked at Ajax while hoping that he would find the demon world''s portal in a short time. "Sigh..." Soon, Ajax opened his eyes and sighed before looking at Edmond and shook his head. "No need to sigh, Ajax. There are only 2 more locations we need to check," Even though Edmond also sighed in his heart, he consoled himself that we would find the portal very soon. "Yes," Ajax nodded his head and immediately rushed towards another location which was a huge tree that was more than 1000 meters height and 10 meters thick. As soon as they reached the third location, Ajax and Edmond found a demon that wore an armour that gave a terrifying aura. ''A demon?'' Edmond and Ajax stopped in their tracks and thought in their heads before looking at each others'' faces. "Don''t kill me. Don''t kill me" However, to their surprise, the demon kneeled on the ground and started begging them to not to kill him. "Huh?" Ajax and Edmond carefully looked at the demon in front of him and raised their brows. "Ajax, be careful. He is from the royal family of the demon world," Edmond''s words made Ajax serious all of sudden because he could understand what Edmond''s words actually mean. Every demon that was from the royal family would be born with an inherent skill that was very powerful. So, Edmond asked Ajax to be careful. "What should we do with him, Captain Edmond?" Ajax looked at the demon in front of him and asked Edmond. "What do you think?" As soon as he said those words, Edmond disappeared from his position and appeared in front of the demon from the royal family and shed his sword through the body of the demon. ''sh'' ''Hehe'' However, the demon didn''t try to dodge the sh and insteadughed with a cunning expression before he fell lifelessly to the ground. "Huh? Why did heugh like that?" Edmond and Ajax became confused at the behaviour of the demon and immediately moved away from the dead body of the fallen demon. As soon as they moved away from the body, all the ck blood from the body came together and formed a round orb before suddenly bing a portal. "What is happening? Why does it suddenly be a portal?" Ajax raised his guard and looked at the pitch-ck portal and asked Edmond, who was also having a simr serious expression on his face. "This is the portal we are searching for. Call Darbaudr and ask him to bring others while he is only his way," Soon the serious expression on his face became an excited one and immediately asked Ajax to call Darbaudr and others. "Yes, I will do it," Ajax also became excited and immediately tried to contact Darbaudr through the spirit link, ''Darbaudr,e to the third location, we found the portal and also bring others when youe here.'' "Ajax, dodge," Just as he ended the voice transmission with the Darbaudr, Ajax was alerted by Edmond and without any hesitation jumped to the left side and barely dodged a ck energy beam that came from the ck portal. "Ajax, are you okay?" Edmond immediately rushed towards Ajax and checked on him and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ajax was fine and then looked through the portal. The inside of the portal looked pitch ck and they were unable to see clearly what was exactly that attacked them. "Wait a second. This is...this is the n of the demons from the beginning. They are nning to invade our province from here," Edmond immediately thought about something and became shocked. "That demon already knew that we will kill them and it must be his skill to open the portal to arger extent so that the huge army of the demon world can enter into the human world," Edmond''s thoughts ran at a lightning speed as he deduced everything from the happening in front of him. "But why did they wait for us to kill them?" Although Ajax almost agreed to Edmond thoughts, he felt there was something amiss that why would a demon wait for them to kill him to summon the demon army from the demon world. "I think, the skill can only be activated if he is killed by a human as they were trying to enter the human world and the small portal that can be used to transport only a few demons can now transport a huge demon army," Edmond exined to Ajax about what he had thought about Ajax''s question. "Get ready. We have to run away from here and regroup with others," Edmond didn''t hesitate to suggest Ajax escape from here because the enemy this time was not a single entity or a group of demons; instead, it was a huge demon army who didn''t know about exhaustion or anything. They would fight till they were dead like maniacs. So, Edmond''s first thought was to escape from there and regroup with others. "Yes captain," Ajax didn''t dare to be a hero and together with Edmond he rushed towards Darbaudr and others. Chapter 448: Demon invasion

448 Demon invasion

However, those portals could only allow no more than a dozen beings to pass through them to the other worlds. So, the demons used one of the royal demons who possessed a skill that could enhance the portal to therger version that could transport a huge demon army to a special world when he was killed by the being from that particr world. ''Kill humans...Invade the human world,'' ''Kill humans...Invade the human world,'' ..... ..... .... Just as Ajax and Edmond left from there, many demon servants starteding out from the pitch-ck portal while muttering their slogan. They moved in a particr order and they all looked in a particr synchronization. All of the demon servants had minimum cultivation ofmander realm. They were all donned in a full demonic armour set from top to bottom with a height of around 2 meters and with hideous faces. Moreover, not to forget the two long horns on their heads. "I need to use this," Even though Edmond and Ajax were long gone and was unable to see the huge demon army, Edmond could gauge the present situation and immediately took out a red-coloured paper crane from his space ring and muttered a few words before allowing it to fly away from him. "I hope hees on time," After saying that he took out another paper crane from his space ring. This time, it was blue colour now and muttered almost the same words as earlier before it flew away. Soon Edmond and Ajax had joined others and exined the situation about the ck portal and demon army. "What? A demon army?" "Shouldn''t we inform others about it?" All the young cultivators were shocked to hear about the demon invasion and shouted out their inner thoughts. "I am not going anywhere, I will stay here and stall them for some time. You go and alert the other sects and families," As for Darbaudr, when he heard about the huge demon army, instead of worrying he became excited and asked others to leave the cursed wilderness whereas he would stall time for them. "No, we are not leaving you behind. If we leave, you wille with us," Ajax knew the reason for Darbaudr''s excitement and he also knew that if Darbaudr were to fight the huge demon army alone, he would die with exhaustion. "But Young master, I ¡­.," "There are no buts. And it is not my request, it is an order," Ajax for the first time ordered Darbaudr with a serious face. "Yes, young master. I will do as you say," Darbaudr knew that Ajax was only serious because of his reckless words earlier and nodded his head while apologizing him. "What do you think, we should do, Captain Edmond?" Ajax looked at Edmond and asked what to do. "Let''s fight until we get reinforcements," Edmond thought for a moment and finally decided to fight. "But the demon army is huge. How can we fight them?" Snow storm, thedy boss of Edmond''s adopted children asked Edmond with a worried expression on her face. "Haha," Seeing her worried look on her cute face, Edmond''s seriousness on his face lessened andughed before saying, "No need to worry, ording to the previous demon invasions, I can say that the demon''s thate in the first batch will be only demon servants who had the cultivations less than the general realm." Edmond''s words caused all the young cultivators along with Ajax to rx a little. "Moreover, the training I said to you earlier is also simr to this. Since you agreed to train in the demon world, you should fight this demon army without any fear," Edmond didn''t give any chance for them to give a reply before continuing, "Anyone, who wants to not take any risk, can leave from here and inform others about the demon army." Finally, after finishing his words, he looked at all the young cultivators who didn''t have any expressions like worry or anxiousness; instead, it was filled with seriousness. It was a matter of seriousness to fight the demon army to increase their strength. ''If it is as Captain Edmond said, then I farm for the essence of nature and increase my weapon daos,'' Among all the members present there, Ajax was the one who was excited most as he had many benefits in killing other beings like demons. ''By the way, why didn''t the system issue a mission regarding the demon army?'' Ajax was puzzled at the system''s method of thinking; however, he didn''t think much about it as looked at Darbaudr and Justice. ''I think, it''s finally Justice time to shine,'' After killing the demon servants before he went to the five elemental world, Justice had sessfully entered themander realm. His cultivation depended on killing the beings that had done most cruel or bad things to others. So, killing the demons was perfect farming for Justice. "Okay, everyone. Support each other''s backs and not get yourself surrounded by the demons. Let''s go now," Edmond gave some final set of instructions to them before ordering them to move. "Yes," Everyone, including Udo also became excited for the fight with the demon army and nodded their head before rushing towards the ck portal. ''Since there will be low-level demons in the first batch, I can handle until both of them arrive as our reinforcements,'' Edmond thought while he was moving towards the demon army along with his group. ...¡­.. A few minutes before the ck portal had opened, "Rulf, how is he?" The guild master had returned to the cursed abyss and asked Rulf about Demon killer, who was now sleeping like a log. "Guild master, you are back," Rulf stood up from his ce and came near to the guild master and exined about the Demon killer''s monstrous healing rate. "We talked until now and he slept just a few moments ago," Rulf with a chuckle said to the Guild master as he could not control hisughter seeing the Demon killer who was sleeping like a log without any care in the world. "I know about his monstrous healing speed," the Guild master nodded his head and looked at the five squad members of the demon killer mercenary squad before saying, "Take you to captain back to your squad building and at the same time rest properly." "Yes, guild master" The vice-captain of the demon killer mercenary squad bowed to the guild master. "Thanks for saving us, guild master," As for the other four squad members they thanked the guild master for saving them earlier. The guild master nodded his head and warned, "Also, be careful on your way back. There is a possible demon invasion." When they heard the words, they were not surprised as they already guessed about it after fighting with the demon generals. ''Whoosh'' Just after his words, a red coloured paper crane fell into his hands from the sky. "Edmond?" Chapter 449: Demon apostle with short horns

449 Demon apostle with short horns

Looking at the red-coloured paper crane in his hands, the guild master''s expression became serious and he muttered the name. He paused for a few moments as he tried to think what kind of danger Edmond was in. ''I think, it is about the demon invasion,'' It didn''t take much time for him to guess the danger as he thought about it inside his head. "Guild master, is it from Edmond?" Rulf already knew about red-coloured paper cranes and since the guild master had muttered Edmond''s name, he guessed that the paper was from Edmond which made the guild mastere out of his thoughts. "Yes. Are they all left?" Nodding his head, the guild master asked Rulf about the demon killer''s squad members. "Yes sir. They have left," Rulf hurriedly answered before asking, "Aren''t we going to help Edmond now?" Rulf knew how much his guild master valued Edmond. Among the three top mercenary squads Captains, Edmond could be considered as the most favourite to the guild master. So, he asked the guild master about his next actions. "Of course, we have to save. Since he had used the red-coloured paper crane, it is mostly rted to human''s safety," the Guild master''s reply didn''t give any surprise to Rulf as he nodded his head before rushing with the guild master behind the red-coloured paper crane. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Both of them, with their full speed, rushed towards Edmond''s location which he stored into the red-coloured paper crane. "By the way, guild master, why didn''t you attack the demon general, who fought with the demon killer earlier and let him escape," As they were running, Rulf asked the guild master about a question that was constantly lingering in his head. "Did you forget my fight with the demon king from a decade ago?" The Guild master asked Rulf with an irritated expression. "Yes, I remember it and after that, you went into the seclusion to recuperate your injuries from the fight and only came out of that seclusion a month ago," Rulf replied as he agreed with the guild master''s question. "I still can''t use my full strength yet. If I use it, all my previous injuries with be even more severe. I need a few more months or a couple of years to recover back to my full strength," the old guild master said with a heavy expression on his face. "..." When Rulf heard those words, he didn''t know what to say and thought back to the time how mighty and powerful his master was 10 years ago. ''Sigh...I hope nothing happens until he recovers his full strength,'' Rulf sighed and hoped that nothing severe should happen before he reached his peak strength. "Don''t think much about those things. Stay alert, there might be some powerful demon generals lurking here and there," Thr guild master shook his head and asked Rulf to keep an eye on the surroundings. Somewhere in the cursed wilderness, "Everyone let''s go," Ady in her early 30s ordered some people who had various scars and marks from their old injuries. "To where Captain?" As soon as they heard the words of thatdy, three women and two men hurriedly gathered around her and respectfully asked. "To help someone. Now let''s move," After saying those words, thedy rushed towards a specific direction. In front of her, there was a blue coloured paper crane that was flying at an average speed. Thedy was none other than the captain of the Blood rose mercenary squad''s captain ''Blood rose''. As for the others, they were her squad members. Along the way, they didn''t even ask a single question to her and followed her with a serious expression on their faces. They had never seen her captain this serious before. So, they assumed that the person, whom she wanted to help must be very close to her. ..... Inside the demon world, "This time we are sending 10000 demon servants along with 10 royal demon generals through the portal. So, we need to at least destroy the mercenary guild and other towns and cities around it" A pitch-ck coloured demon with two very small horns on his head and with 2.5 meters height ordered a demon beside him who looked very old. "Don''t worry, Demon apostle, we are very sure that the legendary mercenary king is still not healed from the battle with our seventh demon king. So we have a 90 percent chance in destroying the mercenary guild,'' the older demon said in a very respectful tone which also contained some fear in it. The reason for that was the demon in front of him was none other than one of the demon apostles under the leader of the Demon Kings. There were a total of seven demon kings in the demon world who governed the seven different regions in the demon world. Among them, there was one demon king who was most powerful and ruled thergest region in the demon world. He battled with the six other demon kings and made himself their leader and all of them would listen to his orders without any hesitation. "Good. I won''t enter the human world as there would not be any strongest cultivator in the mercenary guild as the guild master is old and injured, you can take care of him by yourself, right?" The demon apostle with small horns that were giving a dense demonic aura from them said to the old demon general beside him. "You can rest in my castle, 12th demon apostle. As for the mercenary guild I can take care of it myself," the old demon promised the demon apostle and asked him to rest. There were 12 demon apostles under the leader of the demon kings (or first demon king). All of them were nearly as powerful as the other demon kings. So, the old demon general feared him because even if he did a slight mistake and angered the demon apostle, no one could save him. "If you can''t aplish the mission, then you know what will happen, right?" The demon apostle nodded his head and moved towards a huge castle in a distance; however, after taking a few steps, he turned back and warned the old demon general to not to fail the mission. "Yes, sir," Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the demon general hurriedly replied with an attentive look on his face. Soon the demon apostle disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of a huge castle which was a few kilometers away from the huge demon army. "General, are there any changes in the n? Or we are proceeding to send the demon servant in batches?" As soon as the demon apostle went into the castle, a demon with a full muscr body came near the old demon general and asked about the n. "Hehe...Let''s not follow the regr pattern this time. Let''s surprise the human with 2 demon generals in the first batch along with 2000 demon servants," the old demon general didn''t want to take any chance and fail this mission, so he decided to send the double army in the first batch that was going out of the portal. Chapter 450: Training amidst fighting

450 Training amidst fighting

"But, General (1) if we send the double army in a single batch then we could only send less than 1000 demon servants in the next batches and there is even a risk of the portal being closed," the demon with the muscr body hurriedly said the disadvantages of the old general''s n. "Haha...do you think I don''t know that? Use this crystal and send another 1000 demon servants along with an elite demon general," the old demon generalughed as he took out a ck crystal from his space ring and threw it at the demon in front of him. "Space stabilization crystal?" The muscr demon was surprised to see the ck crystal in his hand and unconsciously shouted the name of that crystal. "Yes. This is the first time a demon apostle hase to watch over our invasion and I?don''t want to fail this mission at any cost," The old demon general''s face became serious and there were a lot of expectations for him from this mission as it would be able to give him some good rewards from the demon king himself. "But, using a space stabilizing crystal for this invasion is ¡­.," "No buts, just use it. I already thought about it. Just do as I say," the old demon general interrupted the muscr demon and said with an irritated expression on his face. "Yes, general," the muscr demon didn''t dare to oppose the old demon general anymore and hurried left to send another 1000 demon servants and an elite demon general in the first batch. ''What does he know about getting into the good side of a demon apostle. Once I get a couple of demon apostles at my back I can be a demon king with a high ranking among the six demon kings...Hehe,'' after the muscr demon left from there, the old demon generalughed inside his heart thinking about his future. Demon apostles could never be demon kings in their life as they were just ves of the leader of the demon kings and their lives would be lost even if that demon king just suspected them to have the thoughts of bing the demon kings. So, if he gets the back up of demon apostles and once he breaks through to the king realm and be the demon king, he would have a much higher standing than the other demon kings. ..... Outside the demon world''s portal, Middle-section of the cursed wilderness, The demon servants were continuouslying one after another. With long ck spears in their hands, the demon army moved towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "I know, you have some basic understanding of the demon''s power levels but let me say it once again," Ajax and others stopped and focused on Edmond''s words to know more about Demons. "Demons are more powerful than humans. As soon as they were born, they have the same strength as that ofmander realm and even if they don''t cultivate in their entire life, they will reach the general realm," Edmond said the basic things about demons before continuing, "The demons are ssified into demon servants, demon general and demon kings. Demon servants consist ofmanders and elitemanders whereas demon generals contain general and elite general strength. And finally, the rulers of the demon world''s are demon kings." Edmonpared the demon power structure with the human power structure and helped the young cultivators understand the demons so that they would be careful when fighting the demon army. Edmond doesn''t want them to blindly fight the demon army without proper understanding about demons. So, he exined that and added, "Also, there are royal demons with an inherent skill, so you have to be even more be careful when you see a royal demon." "Yes, sir," Nodding their heads, Ajax and others rushed towards the huge demon army by taking out their respective weapons. Edmond, Udo and Darbaudr didn''t move as they were waiting for some powerful demon general and keeping an eye on the young cultivators. Basically, they want Ajax and others to train with the demon army and they would give a hand when they werepletely surrounded by the demons. Only then the true potential in the young cultivators woulde out. "Darbaudr, you keep an eye on Ajax and only help him when the situation ispletely nk for him. Udo, you keep an eye on Snowstorm, the twins and King killer. As for the other five young ones, I will protect them," Edmond asked Udo and Darbaudr to keep an eye on some young ones while Ajax and others had already started fighting. He didn''t ask Darbaudr to protect his adopted children as he thought it would not be good to keep asking help from the barbarian for everything. "One more thing, keep an eye on the demon general. There will be only one in the first batch. So, as soon as you spotted, we three could work together and kill him in the least possible time," Edmond gave his final words before focusing on the fight of the young cultivators with the demon army. At the same time, Edmond and others kept an eye on the elite demon general from the ck portal. "Whoosh" "ng" "Boom" "ng" All kinds of sounds came from the fight as all young cultivators were very serious and didn''t hold back their strengths except for Ajax who was focusing on his sword dao and slowly killed the demon servants whose cultivations were ranging frommander realm to peak elitemander realm. Although his cultivation was only at the level 1 of the elitemander realm, from the boost of the Sigmis pendant along with his level 3 fastest type sword dao, he could kill even peak elitemander level demon servants. "Just a little bit and I can finally enter the mid-level of the level 3 swords dao then I will change too spear dao...hehe," Ajax smiled as he thought it was perfect time for him to increase the dao level of his weapons. As for his summons, he didn''t summon them as he wanted him and others to feel some pressure so that they could make breakthroughs in their cultivations. ''Anyway, I need to summon them soon as we can''t handle the demon army with our numbers,'' Ajax thought that he would summon them once all the young cultivators exhaust a little bit. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check. "Now?" Just as he was thinking and fighting, a system notification came to his head that made hime out of his thoughts. Note:- (1) The term is to indicate the position of a demon in the army and the actual cultivation of the demon. Chapter 451: Bonus Mission

451 Bonus Mission

Ajax pierced his sword into a demon servant at lightning speed. The sword in his hand pierced through the heavy armour as though it was tofu. ''Finally, the much-awaited system mission has generated. I hope it will be some good mission that can give good rewards,'' Ajax took out the sword from the body of the demon servant slowly as he excitedly thought in his head. Without any dy, he opened the quest tab and checked the newly generated system mission. ''Ding, A bonus mission is avable. Do you want to ept it? "Huh? What is this?" As soon as he opened it, he was surprised by the system notification which he didn''t expect to appear in front of him. The thing was the system never asked for his permission for any mission. So, he felt a little surprised to see that notification. ''Puchii'' "Since this is a bonus mission there will be no penalty. I can ept it without any worry,??? Ajax shed at another demon servant without much difficulty while thinking about the bonus mission. Ajax already had a basic understanding of the system that there would be no penalty for a bonus mission. So, without any hesitation, he epted the bonus mission before another system notification appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Bonus mission:- Kill the invaders (Upgradable mission). Target 1:- Kill 100 demon servants. Reward:- An instant minor realm level up in spirit cultivation. Description:- A mission that will be upgraded every time the host finishes the target given in the bonus mission. Condition:- 1) The demon servants that were killed by the host are only counted into the mission''s target. 2)?Until the bonus mission ispleted, you will not get any essence of nature for killing the demon servants. So, try to kill the demon servant with the least essence of nature. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows when he saw the length of the information in front of him and slowly read everything on the holographic screen in front of him. "Upgradable mission? I think I will reaching the target will clear everything for me," Although he got a rough understanding of the mission from the Description, he still had some doubts about it. Nevertheless, he wanted toplete the first target before thinking about it. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''Puchi'' Even when he was reading about the mission details he kept an eye on his surroundings and parried the spear of a demon servant and used his shadow w to kill that demon servant. ''Ding, Progress:- (1/100) As soon as he killed that demon servant; instead of getting a system notification about the gained essence of nature, a progress bar appeared in front of him regarding the target. It was just like what he had said. If he got the essence of nature from killing the demon servants thenpleting this mission was not a big issue for him. So, he felt his blood boiling just thinking about the intense battle he was going to have with the demon army. ''I willplete the first target and get the reward first before seeing what will be the system''s second target is,'' Ajax didn''t want to waste any time and wanted to im the rewards for the first target as soon as possible. Ajax felt that the reward was very good, so he wanted to test whether he would get simr rewards from theter targets. So, he took out his spear which was in the bloodlust spear form from his spirit consciousness. ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchhi'' In his right hand there was the inheritance sword and in his left hand the bloodlust spear. He shed the sword to kill the demon servants that were near to him and used the spear to kill those who were away from him. ''No essence of nature'' ''No help of summons'' Ajax continuously muttered these two sentences in his head and fought with the demon servants like a ''God of war''. Although his use of both the weapons was not that proficient. It helped him to kill the demon servants at a faster rate. ''ng'' ''ng'' ''Huh? This one looks like a peak elitemander level demon,'' For the first time, since he started the mission, his attack was blocked by a demon servant that made Ajax observe that demon servant carefully. Until now, he had killed the demon servants that were less than elitemander realm, so he was able to kill them in a single sh with his sword and with a single pierce from his spear. ''Kill humans...kill humans'' ''Kill humans...kill humans'' ¡­ ¡­ As soon as his sword and spear were blocked by the peak elitemander level demon servant, the other demon servants surrounded Ajax with their slogan. ''Damn it, I entered too deep,'' Ajax felt pressured all of a sudden when he was surrounded by more than 10 demon servants that were much more powerful than the ones he had killed earlier. Including Ajax, there were 10 young cultivators and aside from them, there was justice too in the group that was fighting the first batch of the demon invasion. All of them followed Edmond''s instructions very clearly and only attacked the demon servants from the side edges and they didn''t bother to fight the demon army from the front as it was impossible for them to stop that army from the front. However, Ajax was too excited with the progression of the bonus mission and entered very deep into the demon army. "Huh? Darbaudr, where is Ajax?" Udo was not only killing eyes on the cultivators, he was asked to, but he was also looking at Ajax once in a while; however, he was suddenly unable to see Ajax and immediately asked Darbaudr. Edmond also looked at the ce where Ajax started killing the demon servants and then looked at Darbaudr for an answer. "Young master was surrounded by the demon servants," Darbaudr replied to them with a small smile on his face that made both Edmond and Udo puzzled as they didn''t understand why Darbaudr was not moving to help Ajax. "What? He got surrounded by the demon servants. Didn''t I ask you to keep an eye on him and help him when he was surrounded by the demon servants?" Edmond became anxious and hurriedly asked Darabudr. "Calm down, Captain. My young master needed some exciting battles to bring out his full potential," Darbaudr knew what Edmond was thinking and asked him to calm down while exining about the reason he was not helping even when Ajax waspletely surrounded by the demon servants. Edmond and Udo looked at each other and nodded their heads as they agreed with Darbaudr''s words. "Captain, I spotted the big fish," As they went back to their ces to look after their respective young cultivators, they heard Darbaudr''s words and immediately looked into the direction where Darbaudr had spotted. The big fish that Darbaudr meant was none other than the demon general who just came out of the ck portal. "Huh? Where has he disappeared to?" Chapter 452: Demon general spotted

452 Demon general spotted

The demon army didn''t bother about fighting with Ajax and others as their main objective was to destroy the mercenary guild and only then they could fully focus on killing the humans. That doesn''t mean they werepletely ignoring them. The demon servants that were close to Ajax and others were continuously fought with them while moving forward. From the beginning, the huge demon army never stopped moving forwards. It had already travelled more than 10 minutes since the ck portal had opened. "Search quickly. We need to finish it as soon as possible," Edmond asked others to find the demon general while he was also searching for him. "I found him. Follow me," Darbaudr didn''t take much time to find the demon general that he had spotted earlier and immediately rushed towards him along with Edmond and Udo. "Darbaudr be careful, he is at level 5 of the elite general realm," Edmond noticed the killing intent in Darbaudr''s face and hurriedly warned as he could guess that Darbaudr hated demons to the core. However, Darbaudr didn''t give any reply as he still rushed towards the demon general who was trying to sneak attack Snow storm. ''Sigh,'' Without a choice, Edmond and Udo followed him to give him some assistance. While Darbaudr and two others were rushing towards the demon general, all the adopted children of Edmond looked a little bit tired as they were fighting with the demon servants with their full strength for a while now. ''Pierce'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Snow storm used her spear to pierce the demon servants while the twins, moon shadow and bright shadow both of them were inplete synchronization and killed the demon servants with their short swords. ''Die?? ''sh'' King killer, as usual with his arrogant expression on his face along with Edmond''s fighting style used his huge sword to sh at the demons. In each sh he was able to kill more than one demon servant; however, sometimes, he was taking some time while killing a single demon servant. "Burn to ashes, you demons," Among all the nine young cultivators, the dwarf looking dark me was killing the demons in the fiercest way as he was burning them to death with his mysterious fire technique. ''Kaww'' With the help of his spirit beast, the heavenly crow skillfully took a couple of demon servants into the air and used his spirit beast controlling techniques to fight the demon servants in the mid-air. ''Roar'' And thest one among the nine cultivators, the fearless gori. He turned into a huge beast and killed like a maniac while roaring. Everyone was using their full strength against the demon army, still, they were not able to stop the demon army from moving forwards. Until now they had only killled less than 100 demon servants and more than half of their essence of nature waspleted and what''s more, they were nearing to reach their limits. "Everyone, be alert all the demon servants now has a minimum of elitemander realm," Although the demon general was about to attack Snow storm, Edmond was sure that Darbaudr would be able to stop that attack. So, he warned all the young cultivators about the demon servant''s strength. There were only 100 demon servants that had the cultivations simr to themander realm and they were all killed by Ajax and others. Now, every demon servant had an at least cultivation of the elitemander realm. "Yes, godfather," Except for Ajax, who waspletely surrounded by the demon servants, all the other cultivators replied to Edmond and continued to fight the demon servants. ''Huh? Thinking of stopping me? In your dreams,'' the demon general mocked Darbaudr and others and suddenly disappeared from his ce and appeared just behind Snow storm. "Nooo," When he saw that Edmond suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly that made all the young cultivators look towards Edmond. Even Snow storm also looked back, only to see a demon general, who had a cunning smile on his face as he raised his hand in a w shape to attack Snow storm. Snow storm was in a shock when she saw a different demon behind her and didn''t know what to do and stood there motionless. ''Am I going to die now? I still didn''t take revenge on them. I can''t die now,'' Snow storm''s mind started running various thoughts at lightning speed; however, her body was still not moving because of her shock. "Swoosh" ''Kachaa'' Just when the demon general w was about to touch Snow storm, some wind des appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the hand. ''Aargh'' The demon general''s hand waspletely filled with bloodied holes and shouted with a pained expression on his face. "What?" "Who did that?" "Where did those wind des appear?" "I saw theme from a small portal," All the young cultivators noticed the scene; however, they didn''t understand where those wind des came from or who used it. ''Kachaa'' ''Puchii'' ''sh'' ''ng'' ''Puchi'' ''Boom'' Just as they were thinking about the wind des, all the young cultivators noticed some loud sounds and looked in the direction. As soon as they saw in the direction of the sound, a group of bloodied demon servants were thrown into the air. "Ajax?" All of them were surprised to see that Ajax had just thrown a dozen demon servants into the air like they were some toys. "Hahaha...that is my young master for you," Darbaurd''s previous serious expression had turned into a burst ofughter as he proudly said to Edmond and Udo. "Ajax''s spatial des became very powerful now. He could do damage even to a level 5 elite general realm cultivator," Edmond and Udo were shocked to see the full power of Ajax''s spatial des. "What? The wind des are Ajax''s ability?" "What a cool ability!" "Why didn''t I have that kind of ability?" All the young cultivators envied Ajax for his spatial des skill. He was only envied at his luck fro getting that skill. Nevertheless, they were happy that Ajax had that kind of skill. However, what they didn''t know about that spatial skill was, Ajax used more than 6000 units of the essence of nature while using that skill. Since he had upgraded it to level 2 in the five elemental world, with the 6000 units of the essence of nature as input, it was able to cut the hand of the demon general. "Huh? Using that 6000 units of the essence of nature in the spatial des didn''t even cut his hand. Looks like demons really have strong bodies," Ajax bitterly shook his head before looking at others who were looking at him as though he was a monster. Chapter 453: Another Elite Demon general

453 Another Elite Demon general

''Anyway, I should not forget that the demon general is an elite general cultivator,'' Ajax consoled himself with the cultivation difference between him and the demon general. "Darabudr, you take care of him, I will train with these demon servants," Ajax didn''t waste any time as he knew what kind of situation they were in. Even a moment of carelessness would cost them their life. So, he ordered Darbaudr to fight the demon servant while he would focus onpleting the target in the bonus mission. "Yes, young master," the barbarian nodded his head at Ajax before looking at the demon general, who was painfully shrieking while holding onto his hands. "Shall we start our fight?" Looking at the demon general, Darbaudr slowly moved towards him with a cruel expression on his barbarian face. "All of you, why didn''t you stop fighting. Continue to fight until you are exhaustedpletely," Edmond didn''t interrupt Darabudr as he knew that Darbaudr was enough to finish the injured demon general and ordered his adopted children to fight the demon army. When they heard his words, all of their previous expressions like envy towards Ajax had changed into a serious one and started using their full strength to fight against the demon army. "Die," Darbaudr didn''t waste any time talking to the demon general in front of him and directly rushed towards him to finish him off. He was not using any weapons and within a few seconds, the barbarian had appeared behind the demon general before clutching the back of his neck in one hand while using his other hand to seal the space around the demon general that made him immobile. ''Ughh...'' The demon general waspletely helpless with Darbaudr''s attack and thought he would die. "A barbarian? Interesting," Just when Darbaurdr about to increase the force to crush the next of the demon general, some voice was heard by Darbaudr from his back. The voice was very close like there was no gap between them at all that made Darbaudr release the demon general''s neck in his hand and distanced himself from behind the demon general. "Huh? Who is there?" Darbaudr immediately looked in the direction from where he heard the words; however, he didn''t see anyone and asked while carefully looking at the demon army. "What happened Darbaudr?" Edmond raised his brows and asked Darbaudr with confusion on his face. Udo also looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Huh? Didn''t you see someone behind my back earlier?" Darbaudr''s face became even more serious as he understood something and asked Edmond and Udo. ''Looks like there is an even more powerful demon general among the demon army,'' Darabaudr confirmed this and hurriedly informed both Edmond and Udo about his thoughts. ''What? It''s impossible for two demon generals to appear in the first batch,'' " Also, there is no one behind you earlier. You must be tired and imagined that," Edmond and Udo said their thoughts on Darabudr''s words and clearly didn''t believe him as it was clearly impossible for two demon generals to appear in the beginning as it would make the portal unstable. "Do whatever you want. But remain fully focused and I don''t want anyone to be killed by the other demon general," Darbaudr didn''t bother to exin another line and instead wanted them to be extra careful while he looked at the demon general in front of him, who was smiling at him. "Huh?" Edmond suddenly thought of something and muttered, ''What if they use some type of treasure to stabilize the portal? Damn it. Why didn''t I think of this earlier?'' Edmond cursed himself for being careless and thinking that everything was going ording to his n. ''Udo, keep an eye on the other demon general. Since we are unable to sense him, he must be stronger than us or must be using some kind of treasure to hide his presence. Nevertheless, we have to be careful,'' After thinking about the demons using something to stabilize the portal, Edmond hurriedly asked Udo to believe Darbaudr''s words to keep an eye on the other demon general. ''Sure,'' This time Udo believed that there was another demon general along with the injured demon general in front of him. Since Udo still had some suspicions on Ajax and Darbaudr''s origins, he didn''t believe Darabudr because everything that the barbarian had said seemed like a lie to him. However, that was not a case if Edmond says that as he hadplete faith in Edmond. To be more urate, he feels like he owes his life to Edmond, if not for him, he would not be alive right now. ''Darbaudr, we believe you. There must be another demon general in the first batch of the demon army. I have a n to find him,'' Edmond talked to Darbaudr through the voice transmission and said that he had a n. ''Let me hear it,'' Darbaudr nned something just now; however, since Edmond had a n to find the other demon general, he didn''t rush and waited for Edmond to say his n. ''It''s simple. Since you heard his voice when you tried to kill the injured demon general, let''s try it once more. When he shows himself, I and Udo will attack him,'' Edmond kept an eye on his adopted children and exined his n to Darbaudr and Udo at the same time. Udo was also keeping an eye on the young cultivators as there was another demon general in the demon army, he didn''t want them to attack the young cultivators like before. ''Let''s do this,'' Darbaudr and Udo replied through the same voice transmission as they nodded their heads. After saying that, Darbaudr didn''t hesitate and immediately moved towards the demon general who had just heaved a sigh of relief as he was saved by his friend from the clutches of the barbarian. "What? Save me," While heaving a sigh of relief, he noticed the barbarian once again rushed at him with the same cruel expression like the previous time and shouted out loud for the help from his friend. "He can''t save you this time," Darbaudr cunningly smiled as he instantly appeared in front of the demon general. ''Punch'' The demon generalpletely didn''t rely on his friend and used his uninjured hand to punch the iing barbarian at his full power. ''Swoosh'' However, his punchnded on an afterimage of the barbarian and his neck was once again clutched by the barbarian. e out and save me, idiot,'' "How is it? Feeling good?" Darbaudr slowly increased the force in his hand and made the demon general cry in pain. The demon general cursed his friend toe out and save him from the barbarian''s hands when he felt his neck was almost crushed by him. "Hehe...leave him," Just when Darbaudr was about to crush the neck of the demon generalpletely, he heard the same voice from before near his ears. Chapter 454: Darbaudrs Skill

454 Darbaudr''s Skill

A crisp breaking sound resounded just after the elite demon general finished his words. "You..." Darbaudr hated the demons to his core, so why would he listen to them when he was at an advantage. So, without any hesitation, he broke the neck of the first elite demon general and turned his head back to see the angry look on the demon general''s face. Unlike the first elite demon general, this demon general was very thin and had legs that resembled a horse. "And why would I listen to you?" Darbaudr mocked the demon general which made him even angrier. "I will kill you all. First I will kill those young cultivators and then kill you. I will let you know what despair means and....," ''Puchii'' ''Puchil'' Just as he was shouting angrily, two heavy swords came out from his chest that interrupted his angry shouts. "To do that, you should be alive, right?" Edmond asked from behind that elite demon general while taking out his heavy sword from that demon general''s back along with Udo. "What?" The elite demon general was shocked as he didn''t sense anyone behind his back until he was pierced by the two heavy swords. "Haha...if you wanted to kill us, you should have done it already. With your speed if you have gone to kill these young cultivators we would be unable to save them; however, you are very foolish and started cursing," Darbaudr shook his head at the foolishness of the demon general. ''Thud'' The elite demon general fell on to his knees, while clutching onto the two wounds in his head and looked at Edmond and others. "Good job, Captain. You two can be good assassins...haha," Darbaudr didn''t bother about the elite demon general and walked towards Edmond and Udo before praising their silent movements. "Haha...you must be kidding. If it is not for you sealing the space around that demon general that made him reduce his senses, we would not be able to sneak up to him," Edmond shook his head and was shocked with Darbaudr''s weird skills. That''s right! It was Darbaudr''s skill that helped them to sneak attack the demon general without him noticing. "By the way, what is that skill called?" Before they even execute their n, Darbuadr promises that he would seal the spirit sense of the other demon general as soon he appears in front of them. Then asked Edmond and Udo to sneak up on him and kill him. However, they didn''t know its name as Darbaudr didn''t say he would use the skill to block the spirit sense of the demon general. "Perception block," Darbaudr looked at the young cultivators who were almost reaching their limit and said without any expression on his face. "What? A high-level skill?" Edmond and Udo opened their mouths and bbergasted when they heard the skill name. Even the demon general, whose entire body was covered with his own ck-blood was shocked to hear the skill name. There was nothing wrong in them feeling shocked when they heard the skill name as it belonged to a set of very rare and high-level skills. "It is a skill I awakened after consuming a high-grade ability fruit," Darbaudr slowly said about how he had got that skill. "A high-grade ability fruit?" Edmond and Udo clutched their hearts with Darbaudr''s continuous words that made them shock one after another. The ability fruit that Ajax and others had consumed was only low-grade ability fruits and from their one could mostly awaken low-level or mid-level skills. Even Ajax had only awakened a mid-level skill from the ability fruit using nearly 1000 units of the essence of nature which was theplete essence of his spirit consciousness at that time. ''Looks like Darabaudr is not from this province. He must be from another province,'' Edmond and Udo immediately thought the same thing about Darbaudr. Since it was impossible for a high-grade ability fruit in Zrochester province with how impure their province''s essence of nature. Moreover, all the fighting techniques that Darbaudr had used from the past few fights, they could conclude that he was from another province. ''How can a high-grade ability fruit be avable in this province? Who is he actually and where did hee from? I need to kill him at any cost and devour him. I think I should hurry up the process,'' The demon general was also equally shocked by Darbaudr''s words as he muttered before drawing something on the ground with his ck blood. Demons be powerful by consuming powerful cultivators or beings that have a high bloodline. So, when he heard that Darbaudr had consumed a high-grade ability fruit and also, there was a small chance that he must be from another province which was rich in the essence of nature. The rich essence of nature province means than the essence of nature in those provinces would have a high quality of essence of nature in their spirit consciousness and thus having higher battle prowess than the people from the lower province. So, by consuming him, his strength would also increase drastically. ''These idiots are still thinking that they took me down but what they don''t know is I made them kill me...hehe'' while drawing something on the ground, the elite demon general cunninglyughed as he slowly covered his drawings from the sight of Edmond and others. As the elite demon general was busy on his n, Edmond and Udo suppressed the shocks they had received from Darabaudr. ''As long as he is loyal to Ajax, it''s good. If not I will kill him,'' Edmond thought in his head whereas Udo thought, ''Instead of keeping an eye on Ajax, I need to keep my full focus on him now.'' Ajax was not powerful yet and he won''t be able to mess Edmond''s ns with his cultivation; however, Darabudr could mess up their n and at the same time, if he is on their side, it would be good to their mission. So, he didn''t act rash and only thought of keeping an eye on Darbaudr. "I think they are reaching their limit. But the good thing is they were about to kill 200 demon servants and could take another 100 demon servants before they arepletely exhausted," Edmond stopped thinking about Darbaudr and focused on the fight that was going on in front of him. "Yes, only if they reach the limit, they can awaken their full power inside them. Let''s wait who will awaken first...Haha," Udoughingly said while ncing at Ajax and others. Darbaudr also nodded his head as he knew what Edmond and Udo were trying to achieve by pressuring the young cultivators. ''So, they are trying to break the limits of the humans to have a smooth cultivation without any bottlenecks in the future,'' Darbaudr thought inside his head before looking at the elite demon general whoid on the ground lifelessly. Darbaudr sensed no energy fluctuations from the elite demon general and considered he was dead and focused on Ajax and few other young cultivators to help when required. ''Hehe'' However, he failed to notice the eerie smile on the elite demon general''s face. Chapter 455: Mystery behind the bloodline

455 Mystery behind the bloodline

''Kachaa'' ''Puchii'' The fight between the young cultivators and the demon servants continued intensely. After using his very costly spatial des to save Snow Storm from the demon general, Ajax didn''t even dare to use his essence of nature to attack the demon servants. Even if he wanted to use the essence of nature to use his other skills, that would notst even for a couple of attacks as he had already used 6000 units for the spatial des earlier. ''The more I kill, the more powerful the next demon servant will be,'' Ajax''s initial one-shot kill was not even possible with thestest demon servants. He had to fight for a while before killing one demon servant. What''s more, his essence of nature was very low now and with each injury, he received from the demon servants, his essence of nature was used to stop the bleeding from them. ''Should I use the bloodline now?'' With the amount of essence of nature that was left in his spirit consciousness, Ajax had no problem in using the bloodline; however, he knew that there would be even more demon servants that would being from the portal. ''That''s right! How can I forget the reward for reaching the target one from the bonus mission?'' Ajax suddenly remembered about the bonus mission and the reward for reaching the target. So, without any hesitation, he decided to use his full strength because he would reach level 6 of themander realm in the spirit cultivation as soon as he finished the first target in the bonus mission. ''Progress'' Before activating his bloodline, he wanted to check on how many demon servants he had to kill toplete his first target. ''Ding, Progress:- (51/100) "Huh? Still need 49 more demon servants...sigh," Ajax sighed at the required demon servants to kill to finish the target and get the reward. The thing that made him sigh was that his spirit consciously was almost empty and at the same time he was not in his best shape as he had been fighting for a while now and looked a little bit tired. ''Come on...you can do it Ajax,'' Nevertheless, he tried to motivate himself and with a resolute look on his face thought in his head, ''Activate the abyssal beast god bloodline.'' As soon as he activated his bloodline, all of a sudden his muscles started bulging and looked more like a muscr man. Not only that, his face started looking like an evil person. ''Control...control,'' However, before his face could turnpletely evil, a familiar and deep old voice came from the depths of his mind and made him turn back to normal. ''Huh? Did I just lose control and was about to turn crazy?'' Aftering back to his senses, Ajax looked at the surrounding demon servants that distanced themselves from him and thought to himself. ''Thanks, old man,'' Although he didn''t get any reply in return, Ajax still thanked the old voice who had saved him multiple times from the beginning and continued thinking, ''From now on I need to be careful; otherwise, I will turn crazy before even taking my revenge on the assassin sect.'' "Huh? Why are the demon servants distancing themselves from Ajax?" Edmond and Udo, who were observing the fight, noticed the area around Ajax and asked each other at the same time with confused looks on their faces. As for Darbaudr, he knew about Ajax''s bloodline but still remained as though he had never seen it andpletely ignored them. "Don''t you believe him from the bottom of your heart? What is this?" Udo thought that he had got some chance and tried to say that Ajax had something to do with demonic cultivations. ???Huh? You still didn''t forget that thought and say that Ajax is a demonic cultivator?" Edmond bitterly shook his head at Udo''s stubbornness. ''....'' In reply to Edmond''s question, Udo didn''t say and intently stared at Edmond as though he was indirectly saying that he was still stubborn. "Fine...after we finish this battle and return to our residence we will ask about it. Are you satisfied now?" Edmond was also curious about Ajax''s secrets; however, he was seeing his son in Ajax and didn''t want to ask about Ajax''s secrets. However, if it was something rted to demonic cultivation, Edmond would even interrogate his son as it would only cost his son''s life at the end of his cultivation journey. Edmond wanted Ajax to never suffer due to the demon cultivation technique, which would increase the initial cultivation level easily; however, it would cost their own life and the lives of the people around him. "I will be satisfied if Ajax says the reason behind the scene we had just seen earlier," Udo was not happy nor sad with Edmond''s words and replied with an expressionless face. Edmond didn''t say anything in reply to Udo''s words and simply looked at Ajax who was looking muscr all of a sudden and the aura that was emitting from him looked more powerful than an average level 1 elitemander realm cultivator. ''There is something wrong with his bloodline. Is it the reason why all the demon servants are avoiding him?'' Edmond already knew about Ajax''s bloodline; however, he felt that there was something more to it and guessed that was the reason all the demon servants were avoiding Ajax as soon as he activated the bloodline. ''Looks like my young master''s secrets about his bloodline being merged with another bloodline will be soon known by them. His thinking is very good,'' As for Darbaudr, he was praising Edmond for his keen observations inside his heart; however, on the surface, he had a nonchnt expression on his face. ''Kachaa'' ''Puchiii'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' While Edmond and Udo were having ns about knowing Ajax''s secrets, he was busy fighting the demon servants. After the activation of his Abyssal beast god bloodline, Ajax''s original body cultivation had nearly reached the level 1 of the general realm and with the many trump cards, he could even fight with level 2 and level 3 general realm cultivators. ''I feel like a god now,'' Now, Ajax was able to kill the demon servants with his bare hands and he didn''t even bother to use the inheritance sword or the bloodlust spear. He was able to kill every demon servant in a single punch or by simply snapping their necks. ''Ding, The host killed a demon servant (Elitemander realm) No essence of nature is gained ''Ding, The host killed a demon servant (Elitemander realm) No essence of nature is gained, ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ .. The system continuously sent the notification informing about his killings; however, he didn''t even gain a single unit of the essence of nature as the requirement of the system. ''Ajax, behind you,'' As Ajax was busy dealing with the demon servants in front of him, he focused less on his rear end. Edmond who was watching from afar shouted as he knew that Ajax would definitely injure very seriously if he didn''t escape that attack in time. Chapter 456: Breakthrough

456 Breakthrough

To Edmond''s surprise, Ajax didn''t even bother to dodge the sneak attack from his back and replied to Edmond with a cool expression on his face that made Edmond surprise. ''ng'' Before the spear from behind could touch Ajax, he disappeared from his ce and appeared behind the demon servant that sealed upon him and snapped his neck with a simple hand crush. ''This is interesting. I like the feeling of killing the demon servants in a single attack,'' Ajax''s blood started boiling with excitement as he killed the demon servant. ''Progress,'' he didn''t bother to suppress his excitement and silently thought in his head. ''Ding, Progress:- (86/100) Every once in awhile, Ajax checked the progress bar to have a clear idea of how many he had left to kill. ''Only 14 more to go,'' With the help of his bloodline, killing the demon servants became an easy thing for Ajax and within a few minutes, he had already killed more than 30 demon servants. ''I need to hurry up andplete the target before the bloodline is stopped,'' He knew that he was having an easy time only with the help of his bloodline; however, once the bloodline falls under cooldown, he would be even more exhausted as an after effect of the bloodline. ''Shadow clone,'' Without any hesitation, he used one of his skills that could be used with the least amount of the essence of nature. Soon, his shadow started moving from the ground and formed into a being that looked just like Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' Ajax''s shadow clone didn''t wait for his orders as it knew what to do in a situation like this and started killing the demon servants. ''Ding, The host killed a demon servant (Elitemander realm) No essence of nature is gained ''Ding, Progress:- (87/100) ''Phew...so this counts into the target,'' Only when he saw the progress bar after his shadow clone killed one demo servant, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief. ''Now, let''s reach 100,'' Ajax didn''t waste any more time and directly rushed into the demon army that was continuously moving towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. That''s right! The demon army never stopped moving even when Ajax and others were attacking them. Their first preference was to destroy the mercenary guild and then they should start killing the humans. "Another skill...Ajax''s is bing more and more mysterious," Edmond and Udo looked at each other before bitterly shaking their head at Ajax''s mysteriousness. ''88'' ''89'' .. . . ''99'' Ajax counted the number as he killed the demon servants along with his shadow clone. ''Puchi'' "HUNDRED" While using that skill, he shouted out loud and with great excitement took out his hand from the body of the dead demon servant. ''Ding, The host killed a demon servant (Elitemander realm) No essence of nature is gained ''Ding, First target:- (100/100),pleted; ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the first target. Please wait for the reward. As soon as he took out his hand from the demon servant the system sent a series of notifications that were congratting him. ''Huh? Isn''t the reward to be given instantly?'' When he saw that system asked him to wait, he was puzzled and looked at his surroundings. In the bonus mission description, it was clearly mentioned that the rewards were given instantly; however, now the system was asking him to wait. ''Aarghh'' Just as he was thinking about that, he suddenly felt a sharp paining from the spirit consciousness that made him cry in pain. Seeing that, all the demon servants surrounded him hoping to kill the human in front of them before he could kill more members of their kind. "Huh? What is happening to him?" Edmond looked worried and tried to rush towards Ajax to bring him out of the demon army. "No need to rush, Captain," However, Edmond was stopped by Darbaudr with a slight smile on his face. "Huh? Why? Darbaudr, he seems in a lot of pain," From the shout earlier, everyone could guess that Ajax was going through a lot of pain. So, Edmond didn''t worry about training for Ajax anymore and decided to help him. "Young master is fine. He asked me not to worry about him," To Edmond''s words, Darabudr said to him while looking in Ajax''s direction. "What? But¡­," "He said that he is about to breakthrough in his spirit cultivation," Before Edmond could finish his words, he was interrupted by the barbarian and briefly exined about Ajax''s present condition. That''s right! As Ajax was still puzzling about the reward, the system had already given him that reward without any prior notice and forcefully increased his spirit consciousness. As the pain came out suddenly he shouted out aloud but the pain was not even half bad as he had endured. Although the elevation to the level 6 of themander realm in spirit cultivation had still not been done, he contacted Darbaudr through the voice transmission and hurriedly said that he was okay and asked them not to worry about him. "What? He is breaking through amidst the demon army? Is he crazy or what?" Edmond became serious and anxious after hearing Darbaudr''s words. It was very dangerous to a breakthrough in chaotic situations like fights or something. Even the body cultivators don''t dare to do that as it would make their foundations unstable if they were careless for even one moment. Moreover, what Ajax was doing now was the same thing but it was even more dangerous as it was rted to spirit cultivation. Even if he was careless for a single moment, he would be crazy and mindless. "Don''t worry, Captain. He will not be crazy, he is not like others, he is different," Darbaudr calmed down Edmond while briefly saying about Ajax. Darabaudr knew that his young master didn''t need to worry about unstable foundations as he had noticed that whenever Ajax broke through a realm, his foundations were at a perfect stage that made him not worry about Ajax. What Darbaudr said was right. When cultivators required focus to stabilize their foundation while breaking through their cultivations, Ajax only needed that focus to endure the pain and he needed not to worry about the foundations as the system ould take care of it. "Okay," Edmond also knew that Ajax was different from others but still there was some worry that it might cause his foundations unstable; however, looking at the calm expression on Darbaudr''s face, Edmond calmed down and nodded his head while carefully observing Ajax. ''Pheww...finally the pain is gone,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when the pain from his breakthrough had disappeared and looked at the surrounding demon servants and said, "Huh? Your fear is gone already?" Previously they were even feared to go near to him; however, now, they dared to surround him in order to kill him even when his bloodline was still on. Chapter 457: Second Targe

457 Second Targe

Seeing that the demon servant surrounded him without any fear, Ajax wanted to bring back that fear as he liked the feeling of demons fearing him. ''Where is the notification,'' Ajax didn''t act and let the demon servantse near to him as he thought inside his head about some notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for reaching level 6 of the spiritmander. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness is increased by a small capacity along with the essence of nature. Just as he thought about that, a couple of system notifications appeared in front of him that made him smirk. ''Hehe...herees the free essence of nature,'' When he saw the system notifications, Ajax smiled in his head. Every time, he makes a breakthrough in his cultivation, his spirit consciousness capacity would be increased depending on the level of his cultivation and type of cultivation. The most important thing was this increased spirit consciousness woulde along with the essence of nature. For example, if his spirit consciousness was increased by 100 units, then he would gain 100 units of the essence of nature into his spirit consciousness. ''Now, I will show you what the true fear is,'' Once, he noticed that the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness increased by a small amount, Ajax stood up from the ground and carefully looked at the dozen or so demon servants that had the cultivation strength of around mid to peak level of elitemander realm. ''Swoosh'' Ajax didn''t waste any more time and rushed towards the demon servants with an excited expression on his face. ''Ding, A new target is generated in the bonus mission. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' .. .. .. ''Ding, The host killed a demon servant (Elitemander realm) No essence of nature is gained .. .. .. .. .. Ajax didn''t bother to check the new target as he already guessed that the target would not be any less than the previous target. So, he wanted to kill as many demon servants as possible before his bloodline''s effect disappears. Every time he killed a demon servant with his bare hands by snapping the necks of the demon servants, he would get a system notification. ''This system notifications are making me even more excited. I will not mute the system notifications for now,'' Whenever he received such system notifications, Ajax would be irritated; however, now he felt his blood was rising even more that''s making him kill even more. So, he thought of not muting the system notifications in battle like this as he wanted that feeling of blood rising. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' ''Ding, The host is about to hit the critical state. Do you want to stop using the bloodline? ''Huh?'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax paused his fight for a second and thought ''System, what is it? A warning?'' ''Ding, Yes, if the host deactivates the bloodline now, he could still fight without any side effects from the bloodline; otherwise, he will receive some serious side effects when the bloodline is deactivated on its own. Ajax clearly didn''t expect to receive a reply from the system when he thought about it. However, when he saw the holographic screen in front of him that exined the reason for the system warning, Ajax didn''t even think for a second anymore before saying, ''Yes.'' ''Ding, Deactivating the bloodline¡­ After his confirmation, the system deactivated the bloodline that made his previous god-like feeling disappear. Along with the disappearance of the bloodline, the fear on the faces of the demon servants also slowly started to disappear. ''Che'' Seeing that, Ajax felt annoyed as he wanted them to fear him. ''Whatever, I still have the energy to fight on...I will try toplete the second target from the bonus mission,'' Ajax quickly recovered from his annoyed mood and opened the quest tab to check the bonus mission. ''Ding, Bonus mission Target (2):- (16/100) Reward:- Instant increment in two minor realms in the spirit cultivation. ''Haha...this is the great mission, I have ever received from the system,'' The first thing that made Ajax happy after seeing the bonus mission details was the new target and praised the system. Every time he received the upgrading mission, the target would be increased; however, the target was the same as that of the first target. As for the other thing was the reward. In this mission, the reward was doubled with the same target that made him Ajax. However, that happiness didn''tst for much longer as he received a system notification. ''Ding, The demon servants the host will be facing will be much stronger than before...so be careful. Just with this single notification, Ajax felt that he praised the system for nothing. ''I know the system will not be that magnanimous,'' Ajax scoffed at the system and looked at his shadow clone which was killing the demon servants with much difficulty. ''Even though it''s killing is not very efficient, it is not only killing the demon servants slowly but it is also bing powerful while absorbing the blood and demonic essence from the killed demon servant''s bodies,'' Ajax muttered slowly as he was satisfied with his shadow clone. His shadow clone had two skills which were almost simr. They were shadow absorb and blood absorb. Every time it absorbs the shadow and blood of the dead body, it''s strength would be increased by a little bit. ''I should try toplete this second target soon without the help of my summons,'' Ajax didn''t want to use his summons yet as he would not get any essence nor their killing count would not be counted into the target; however, he could use them to take some rest when he could no longer fight. After that rest, he could once again resume his fighting with the demon servants andplete as many targets in the bonus mission as possible and gain as many rewards as he could get. With that thought in his mind, he forced himself to fight the demon servants before he was exhaustedpletely. ??¡­. ''Die'' ''Go to hell'' ''Just be my training dummy'' As Ajax was focusing onpleting the targets in the bonus mission, the nine young cultivators killed the demon servants with some shouts. Unlike Ajax, these nine cultivators were different. Ajax never worried about his breakthroughs in his cultivations or any foundations of that cultivation. He only worried about the system missions and their aplishment rating. As long as hepleted some high danger rating system mission with a high aplishment rating, he could progress in his cultivation. However, these nine cultivators have to focus on their foundations and need to be careful of sudden breakthroughs. ''Shuhh'' When the nine cultivators were fighting with the demon servants, suddenly their bodies started to glow with bright colours. "What? Is it happening already?" Edmond and Udo, who were keeping an eye on the nine young cultivators, excitedly shouted like a child who got his favourite candy. Chapter 458: Nine-men awakening

458 Nine-men awakening

"Is it that awakening?" Darabudr also looked at the nine young cultivators, who were covered with lights of different bright colours and asked Edmond. "Yes, it is the nine-men awakening," From the earlier exchange of words with Darbaudr, Edmond knew that Darabudr was more knowledgable than him and nodded his head. "Huh?" Darabaudr looked at each and every one of the young cultivators before asking Edmond, "So, are they also from the hidden families of the Zrochester province?" When Edmond fought with the huge chimera-like creature in the windstorm, Darabudr heard some of their conversations and rted Edmond to the hidden family; However, he never expected the nine adopted children of Edmond were also from the hidden families. "..." Edmond didn''t expect to hear that question from Darbaudr and became speechless as he had never said anything about him to Ajax, not the barbarian. "How do you..." Nevertheless, he tried to control his shock and he was about to ask him how does he know about him belonging to a hidden family; however before he couldplete his sentence, he was interrupted by Darbaudr. "I heard your conversation in the windstorm," Darbaudr didn''t want Edmond to think that he was spying on him. As he wanted to be clear with Edmond, the barbarian said the truth. "Huh" Edmond nodded his head and finally understood how Darbaudr knew about him and looked at him for a second before saying, "Yes, they all belong to the different hidden families, which were destroyed a few years ago. They are the few survivors who managed to escape that catastrophe." "As long as they grow powerful, the hidden families of the Zrochester province will prosper once again," Darbaudr felt their story and his story were almost simr and motivated Edmond about the prosperity of the hidden families which would be brought back by the young cultivators. "I truly hope so," Although Edmond was pretty much sure about bringing back the past glory for their hidden families and at the same time taking revenge on those who had destroyed their families, he mostly replied to Darbaudr. As they briefly conversed with each other, at the same time, they were looking at the nine young cultivators. "Should we help them in killing the demon servants?" Although Darbaudr was able to notice the awakening, he didn''t know the detailed process of that awakening as it was a rare awakening process even in his province and asked Edmond about it. "Yes," ''sh'' Edmond nodded his head and disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of one of his adopted children and cleared a group of demon servants with a single sh of his heavy sword. "You clear the demon servant around those three cultivators and I will take care of these three," Darbaudr didn''t think much before deciding to help these young cultivators who were just like him. Lost their families and were training very hard to take revenge for their families. However, before he could move to help the young cultivators, he divided the young cultivators and shared the equal number of cultivators with Udo. "Sure, but don''t let any harme to those young ones, understood?" Udo, as usual, said in his cold tone to Darbaudr before agreeing to his n. ''Swoosh'' Darabudr didn''t give any reply to Udo, before rushing towards the demon servants that were surrounding a young cultivator and helping him clear the group of demon servants with his bare hands before proceeding to another one. As for Udo, he shook his head before following the same actions of Edmond and Darabudr. Clear the demon servants from one cultivator before proceeding to another and then to the final one. After that replete the same process once again. .... ''Damn it! When did this Zrochester province be this powerful? Now, the general realm and elite general cultivation realms are that easy to achieve here?'' As everyone was busy with fighting demon servants and awakening something called ''Nine-men awakening'', the elite demon general that was drawing something on the ground with his blood finally finished his drawings and he was shocked to see the battle prowess of Edmond and two other cultivators and thought inside his head. ''One level 5 elite general, one level 1 elite general and a peak level 10 general realm expert. Something is wrong with this Zrochester province,'' The elite demon general was still unable to believe what he was seeing in front of him. ording to the information he had got from his superiors, the elite demon general knew that there were only a few elite general realm cultivators in the Zorchestor province. However, he was shocked to see two elite general realm cultivators as soon as their portal was connected to the human world. ''Anyway, if I can kill these general realm cultivators along with the 11 genius young cultivators, I can get some good rewards'' the elite demon general soon suppressed his shock and cunningly smiled before thinking, ''Moreover, I can have more chances of bing a demon king if I consume all of them.'' The demon army worked just like mercenaries. The more powerful the humans they killed, the higher the rewards they would get from the respective demon kings. Another way to get more rewards was to kill the young geniuses of the human world. So, humans could never get powerful in the future. ''It''s time,'' After thinking about his future ns for a while, he immediately took out a small ck orb and crushed it in the center of the drawing he had drawn with his ck blood until now. ''Shush'' However, there was not much sound nor not much changes happened to the elite demon general except for a pitch-ck smoke that slowly entered into the body of the demon. ''Only a few more minutes and then I will take care of you, my future,'' The elite demon general was fully rxed on the ground and enjoying the slow power boost he was receiving from the ck smoke while thinking already thinking about how he would be a demon king in the future after killing and consuming Edmond and others. .... In the demon world, While Edmond and others were busy fighting the demon servants and the elite demon general was busy getting his powerup, the other side of the portal was in a turmoil. "Old General, the two elite demon generals we had sent in the first batch has been killed just after they went through the portal," the muscr demon general looked at the old demon general, who was leading the demon invasion and exined the information he had got from the other side of the portal. "Huh?" The old general only raised his brows before looking at the portal which was at some distance from him and replied to the muscr demon general, "No need to worry, everything is going ording to the n." "What?" The muscr demon servant was shocked to see how calm their General was even after hearing his word and blurted out loud. Chapter 459: Old demon generals plan

459 Old demon general''s n

''Everything is ording to the n? What n?'' His mind continuously thought about the words of the old general and wondered what was that n. Putting these thoughts aside, what made him anxious was that the two elite demon general they had sent to the human world was killed within a few moments after they just passed through the portal. "What do you know about nning, fool? Let me ask you a couple of questions before I say about my n," The Old General looked at the muscr demon general with a scoff and started asking some questions. The muscr demon nodded his head as he knew that he was not very good at thinking and that''s why he took the position of the attacking and left the nning to the old demon general. "Do you know why we send only demon servants ofmander realm and elitemander realm in the first and second batches respectively?" The old demon general started asking his questions. "It is because we can''t send our high-level troops before the portal ispletely stabilized," The muscr demon general replied with a proud expression on his face thinking that his level of thinking was not that bad. ''Pa'' "Don''t give me that smug look, fool. Although what you said is correct, there is another important thing behind that reason," The old demon general smacked the head of the muscr demon before saying, "It is to tire our enemies. They will be exhausted before our main troops enter the portal. Then we can easily kill those tired humans without much difficulty." "Excellent idea," The muscr demon praised the ideas of his demons which wereing from the ancient times. "The second question, do you know why all of the demon servants are wearing the same type of armour despite there are many types of armours in our armoury?" Without any dy, the old general asked another question. "..." To which the muscr demon general scratched the back of his head as though he was indirectly saying that he does not know about it. "I know that you don''t know about it. That''s why I have?''General'' position in the army whereas you only have a ''Commander'' position," the old demon general shook his head and differentiated himself from the muscr demon general and continued, "One a demon servant, who is wearing that ck armour dies, the ck blood in that demon servant will be absorbed by the armour and then the armour is disintegrated before releasing a pure demonic essence that could give our army the continuous supply of the essence of nature." "What?" The muscr demon was shocked to hear the detailed reason of why they only use the ck armour which was not as much sturdier as the other armours in the armoury. "So, from now on at least try to observe your surroundings before you fight. It is not like our previous invasions," the old general warned the muscr demon not to be reckless in this invasion. "Okay, general," The muscr demon general nodded his head before asking, "Can you say about the n now?" Although the muscr demon general looked calm on the surface, he was still anxious about the death of two elite demon generals, who died within a few minutes after entering the human world. For demons, the death of their sub-ordinates didn''t bother much because they know that the elite demon generals that were leading the demon army of the first two batches would die sooner orter; however, they died just after they left the portal which made the muscr demon genera think that there must be some powerful human cultivator just outside the portal. "Do you know that one of the two elite demon generals we sent is a mutant demon general?" The old man chuckled as he slowly started exining, "I assume, you know that but what you don''t know is that he has mastered a technique that whenever he is injured critically, his strength increases by many folds." "Moreover, once he enters into that state, he has to be killed only by separating his head from his body. Even that has to be done without him knowing who the attacker is. Now say, is it possible to kill him that soon?" The old demon general mysteriously smiled as he looked at the shocked expression on the muscr demon general''s face. "When did he join my unit without me noticing him," Suppressing his shock, the muscr demon general asked with a serious expression on his face. "I recruited him from one of the unknown regions in the demon world. Now, just wait until he kills the humans that are obstructing our demon army to be killed by him...hehe," the old demon general eerily smiled that made the muscr demon shiver. Although the muscr demon was called as general by most of his sub-ordinates, he still wasn''t promoted to the ''General'' position in the army. So, whenpared to the old demon general, this muscr demon still couldn''t stand a chance against the old demon general. "By the way, when can I use the space stabilizing crystal?" He didn''t bother to think much about the old demon general''s ns and asked about the space stabilizing crystal. "Since we have sent double the army before the portal was stabilized, the portal will start shaking when we send the next batch of our demon army. Then, at that exact moment, use it. Remember, I don''t want any mishaps to happen with this invasion," The old demon briefly exined when to use the space stabilizing crystal to the muscr demon before going back to his meditation. The muscr demon nodded his head before leaving from there. ''Just you wait, old monster, I will show you what I can do to you with my little brain,'' After leaving the old demon general''s ce, the muscr demon irritatedly cursed him inside his heart and thought to take revenge as soon as possible. Although he didn''t say anything in front of that old demon general, the muscr demon hated him to the core and he was just waiting for a chance to take revenge for mocking him and calling fool. ...¡­ In the cursed wilderness, An elite demon general rxed while resting his back against arge tree with his eyes closed. "Damn it. Why did that legendary mercenary king appear just when I was about to kill that Demon killer," That elite demon general cursed as his thoughts went back to what happened earlier. The elite demon general was none other than the demon, who had escaped from the guild master and missed the golden chance to kill the demon killer. ''Whatever, I will find that demon killer and kill him with my own hands,'' Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and swore to kill the demon killer one day. ''Swoosh'' ''Huh?'' Chapter 460: Captain Killer

460 Captain Killer

''Huh?'' Just as the elite demon general thought to kill the demon killer in the future, he heard some noises from some distance and immediately hidden and slowly looked in the direction of those noises. Although he had the strength of an elite general realm, he valued his life more than anything. So, he was very careful even when he was rxing. In that direction, he saw six silhouettes running towards the exit direction of the cursed wilderness. "Huh? She looks familiar," In the front most, the demon saw a familiar-looking humandy and immediately his eyes lit up. ''So what if you have saved the demon killer, Mercenary king. I will go for another one of your top captains...hehe,'' Looking at the middle-aged human woman and five other humans, the demon cunningly smiled as he followed them secretly without rming the group of humans. That group of humans were none other than ''Blood Rose'' mercenary squad members and the familiar looking middle-aged woman that the demon saw was the captain of the Blood rose mercenary squad, Madam Blood rose. ''I think, I better follow them and know why they are in such a hurry,'' the elite demon not only valued his life but he was also a very curious one. So, even when he could sneak up on the ''Blood Rose'' mercenary squad members, he quietly followed them. "Captain, can I ask you something? Answer me only if you arefortable with it," The squad members didn''t know that one of the elite demon generals was following them secretly and fully focused on running behind their captain. Among the five squad members, one woman, who was just behind the blood rose, slowly asked her captain. "Hmm" Blood rose quietly nodded her head and gave a green signal to her squad member to ask a question. After she left the fire sword sect, she formed the ''Blood Rose'' mercenary squad as her home and considered all the squad members were her family members. So, she gave permission to the woman, who was just behind her. "Are we going to help Captain Edmond, now?" She slowly asked her captain after hesitating for a moment. "I thought it will be some other question." She bitterly shook her head and thought that she would ask something different before nodding her head and said, "Yes." Blood rose simply gave a single word answer that made all other squad members puzzle a little. ording to their knowledge, Captain Edmond was never close with any of the other top mercenary squad captains. Whenever they met, they would have some normal conversation; however, seeing the present worried look on their captain''s face, they knew there was something more between their captain and captain Edmond. "Actually, that is not my real question," The woman who asked the previous question embarrassed a little before asking, "What is the rtionship between you and Captain Edmond?" ''Huh?'' As soon as she heard her squad member''s question, the blood rose slowed her speed a little as she raised her brows and thought, ''Finally, someone asked...sigh'' Inside her heart, she sighed as people would notice something was between them if they were close. That''s the reason, she avoided him and always took the missions that were very far from here. "I will say after we help him," She didn''t remain silent nor exin their rtionship to her squad members but asked them to wait as she knew that she needed to exin about some of her past events to her squad members, who never asked her about anything and loyally followed her for more than three years. "Okay, Captain," Even if their captain doesn''t want to say some of her past events, they would never force her as they already knew how difficult her past was and how cruel her family was to her forcing her to enter an evil inheritancend despite knowing the risks involved in it. Moreover, she was the one who helped them to increase their cultivations within a short time period and if not for her, they would still be in elitemander realm or early general realm cultivators without any fraction to rely on. To say it correctly, they would have remained as rogue cultivators in their life forever. "Now, let''s move quickly," Blood rose carefully recruited her squad members and knew about theirplete behaviour. So, she knew how they were feeling inside their hearts and asked them to move quickly. All of them werepletely focused on rushing towards the coordinates that Edmond had sent to the blood rose through the blue paper crane and didn''t notice that there was an elite demon general that was silently following them. ''Interesting...interesting,'' The elite demon general used some mysterious technique to hear the conversation between the Blood rose mercenary squad members and silently thought, ''You people, just extended your lives with that conversation...hehe.'' The elite demon general cunninglyughed as he continued to follow them and thought, ''Once you people find another mercenary squad captain, I will kill you together...Haha.'' Just thinking about killing another captain made the demon excited. He was excited for a reason. Simr to the captain of the demon killer mercenary squad, this elite demon general had a grudge against the captains of the mercenary captains. From the time he broke through to the general realm and until now, he killed more than 100 mercenary captains and gained a title among the mercenaries. It was Captain Killer. No one in the mercenaries knows his exact appearance as there was no one that remained alive after seeing him. ''With these two captains, I can finally reach 150...Haha,'' The elite demon general, who was also known as captain killer, excitedly thought about the number of mercenary captains he had killed so far. As for how he had killed that title was, after killing every captain, he would leave a small bomb that would release a specific number when someone touches it before sting. Thest time, a mercenary group found a dead body of a mercenary captain, the small bomb released 148 before sting away. Just like that, the blood rose mercenary squad members and behind them, the captain killer rushed towards Edmond and others. .... In another part of the cursed wilderness. "Guild master, I sense something is wrong by thinking about all the events that are happening recently," Rulf said to the guild master with a serious expression on his face. "Something wrong like what? About demons?" The Guild master never belittled Rulf''s intuition as he knew how correct Rulf''s intuition was in the past and how much it helped him. So, he asked Rulf to give something more specific, then they could be careful with that. "It''s like, the demon''s invasion this time is very different from the past," Rulf narrowed it down and exined more about the demon invasion. "So, you are saying that they have other ns other than invading us?" the old guild master suddenly thought about something and halted in his footsteps all of sudden and asked Rulf. Chapter 461: Revelation

461 Revtion

Now, when he was warned by Rulf''s intuition, he suppressed his anxiousness and started thinking about the past events that were rted to demons. "I felt the same when I rescued the demon killer mercenary squad members," the old guild master finally started talking after thinking for a moment before saying, "One, why did the demons try to move the demon killer mercenary squad members away from the cursed abyss?" "Two, why did they start the invasion from the middle section of the cursed wilderness?" "More importantly, why are the demons so careless this time and revealed their presence to some mercenaries in the cursed wilderness which made us issue bonus missions?" "Andst one, why did they want all of our top mercenary captains away from the guild and wanted them to enter the cursed wilderness but not cursed abyss?" Finally, after saying all the questions in his mind to Rulf, the old guild master took a deep breath and looked into Rulf''s eyes before asking him, "Can you think of why they did any of the questions I asked?" "That''s right! I have the same questions in my mind but can''t think of any particr reason for their actions," Rulf had already thought about those questions that the old guild master had asked; however, he shook his head as though he didn''t know the exact reason for their action. Every time, the demon started the invasion from any one of the human towns and didn''t waste much time before moving to the other towns and cities. However, now they had chosen the middle-section of the cursed wilderness as their starting point and before that, they even revealed their existence which alerted the mercenary guild. That, in turn, made many mercenary squads enter the cursed wilderness and even the two top captains, Demon Killer and Blood Rose were sent to clear the demon in the cursed wilderness and cursed abyss. "That''s right! Now that I think about it, they wanted to destroy my mercenary guild," All of a sudden, the guild master thought about some reason and became angry while releasing the powerful aura from his body that even made Rulf shiver for a second before getting used to it. "Guild master, calm down...calm down. It is not good for your health to be angry," Rulf hurriedly tried to calm the old guild master while withstanding the huge pressure from the guild master''s body. The old guild master was only angry for a moment but all the trees around them were destroyed and not even a de of grass was not seen within a 100 meters of radius around them. "Phew¡­," Rulf only scolded the old man because he was worried about him as he knew that the old man in front of him was known for great anger. What''s more, his wounds were still not healed from the fight, he had with the sixth demon king. "Hey, brat. Who are you calling an old man?" The guild master smacked the back of Rulf''s head before saying, "As for my anger, how can I stay calm when those lowly demons were trying to destroy my guild." The mercenary guild was the blood and sweat of the old guild master, who worked very hard for many years and finally got permission from the king of the Zrochester province to build a guild in Goldcrest town. So, when he thought about the possibility of the demon trying to destroy his mercenary guild, he was unable to control his anger. "I know that you care about it but there is nothing valuable in the guild building and we can always construct another one if it is destroyed by them," Rulf said in a serious tone and this was his first time speaking like that to the guild master which made the old man''s face became serious that made Rulf shudder. When he saw the serious look on the guild master''s face and thought back to the punishments he had received from his childhood and said with a fakeugh, "What I mean to say is, there is no need to open up your injuries that are almost healed because of that." "Hmm" After hearing Rulf''s words, the old guild master thought for a moment and nodded his head as he believed what Rulf said had some truth to it. ''Phew...finally his face became normal. Otherwise, he would have sealed my cultivation and thrown me into his battle tower,'' When Rulf noticed that the old guild master''s face became normal, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Nevertheless, I will not let them destroy my mercenary guild that easily," The old guild master didn''t show any anger on his face and said that he would try his best in stopping the demon invasion. "Yes, sir. I will not even hesitate to die for the mercenary guild," Although Rulf looked like he never cared about the mercenary guild, it was his home where he had grown for many years. All the words he had previously said were for the sake of the old guild master since he was more important to him than a building he had grown. "Looks like Edmond and his squad has already started fighting the demon army. Let''s go and help them," The old guild master finally concluded that the demons were after his guild building and since Edmond had already informed him about the demon army, he wanted to go and start killing them before the true demon experts came out of the portal. Rulf didn''t say anything and only nodded his head and started rushing towards Edmond''s direction. "By the way, Guild master, why do they want to destroy the guild building? And there is nothing those demons will gain from destroying it, right?" While they were running, Rulf thought of something and asked without slowing down his speed. Although the guild build was valuable to the old guild master and Rulf, there was nothing valuable in it and those demons would get nothing but just some bricks. So, he asked the guild master to know what was the actual reason behind it. "They are testing," The old man scoffed at the demons'' n of destroying the mercenary guild and replied to Rulf. "Testing? Testing what?" Rulf, as usual, didn''t understand the old guild master''s words and asked what they were testing. "I think the sixth demon king wants to know whether I am healed or not from ourst battle," The old guild master tightly clutched his hands into fists and exined about what he had thought behind the actions of the demons. "What?" Rulf became shocked as he had never imagined this possibility. Chapter 462: Least powerful province

462 Least powerful province

''Is it fear? Or is it hatred?'' Rulf seriously thought about it while continuously running behind the guild master. "Haha...what do you think," To Rulf''s surprise, the old guild master smilingly replied to the questions he had thought in his mind. "Don''t look surprised. I haven''t used any technique to know your inner thoughts. I just guessed it based on your character. That''s it," Looking at the confused expression on Rulf''s face, the old guild master rified his confusion with a slight smile on his face. "Hmm," Rulf bitterly shook his head in reply to the guild master''s words as he knew that he could not hide anything from this old man. Nevertheless, he replied to the old guild master''s earlier question, "I think it''s both. They not only hate you to death but they are also fearing you." "Don''t think all the demon kings are fearing me. Due to some differences in their thoughts, they always do their invasions separately. If two or three demon kingse at me at the same time, I can''t stand a chance against them," The old guild master shook his head while exining that the fear was in them only when they acted alone. What would happen if multiple demon kings attack him at once? Just thinking about these made Rulf worried about the demon invasions. "Luckily those demon kings don''t co-operate with one another," However, Rulf''s worry didn''tst for much longer as he recalled the old guild master''s words. That''s right! Every demon king hated each other and continuously tried to assassinate one another to devour their demonic essence that could increase their strength to some extent. "That''s lucky. But that luck doesn''t stand much longer as I retrieve some data from an elite demon general in thest invasion that was a decade ago," The old guild master poured cold water on Rulf''s thoughts about luck and continued, "ording to it, one of the six demon kings became powerful all of a sudden for some unknown reason and became the leader of the other five demon king." "What? All the demon kings are now under the control of another demon king?" Rulf didn''t expect something like that to happen and hurriedly asked, "Then, it will be a problem to us, right?" When all the demon kings were not under someone, all of them thought they were superior to one another and that was also a reason for continuous fights amongst themselves; however, now they were all under a single demon king, they should put aways their grudges and work together to invade the other worlds. So, Rulf thought that this demon invasion was already under the coboration of multiple demon kings. Multiple demon kings means multiple demon armies. "No need to worry about that. ording to my thinking and the different types of information that I have retrieved from various demon generals, it is not possible for all the demon king to invade together," the old guild master smiled and calmed down Rulf before continuing, "Even the demon king that rules them doesn''t dare to force them to work together." "Really? Then we can be safe for a few more decades," Rulf heaved a sigh of relief as there won''t be any huge invasion from the demons'' side for another couple of decades or so. While heaving the sigh of relief, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "So, you are saying that after few years or decades, all the demon kings will co-operate with one another in their invasions?" So what if they were safe for a few more years. In the end, the demon kings co-operate together and would be very powerful that no even the Royal family of the Zrochester province would not save the Zrochester province. "Yes and before that our province needed a King realm expert to oppose the demon world''s invasion at that time," the old guild master seriously replied to Rulf and continued, "Anyway, let''s just focus on the present demon invasion and we will bother about that powerful demon army in the future." The old guild master didn''t want to think much about the future as they were already under a demon army''s invasion. So, he asked Rulf to focus on the current situation. "Oaky, guild master," Rulf also knew that thinking about the future when they were already facing some predicament was not good and nodded his head before following the old guild master without talking. However, Rulf always had a problem of thinking about every single thing that was happening around him. So, it didn''t take him much time before he once again thought about something and he felt it was very important to inform the old guild master. ??Should I inform the guild master about it? But, I am not 100 percent sure about it and I might be not correct with my thinking,'' However, seeing the angry expression on the guild master''s face, Rulf fell into a dilemma as he still didn''t know whether what he had thought was right or wrong. If it was wrong, the old guild master would definitely punish him. ''No, if it is?right, then the demons would be even more powerful and the destruction of the Zrochester province wille sooner than we thought,'' Finally, Rulf steeled his heart and decided to inform him about something he had thought just now. Among the three known provinces, Zrochester province, Ylercester province and Xacaster province; the Zrochester province had the least purity of the essence of nature in the naturepared to Ylercester province and Xacaster province had the very rich and pure essence of naturepared to the other two provinces. Due to the purity of the essence of nature in the surroundings, the Zrochester province was the least powerful province whereas Xacaster province was known to be very powerful. Since the Zrochester province was the least powerful and it was separated from the other two provinces, it was constantly invaded by demons and other powerful races from other worlds as it was very easy for them to invade the Zrochster province. Even the bloodthirsty demons attacked this least powerful Zrochester province more than 10 times in thest 10 years. Every time the demons attacked them, there would be huge losses of the Zrochester province. Many deaths of innocent residents along with the powerful experts, who tried to save them from the clutches of the demon army. ''Sigh...I should not let the demons be even more powerful than their present strength. Even if there is only one percent chance of my assumption to be right, then I will try my best to stop them,'' Rulf swore that he would not let anything happen to the innocent residents of the Zrochester province. "Guild master, I have thought of a possibility to one of your previous questions," Rulf tried to slow down the speed of the guild master and he had sessfully made him slow down. "Huh?" The old guild master looked at Rulf while raising his brows and waited for him to continue. Chapter 463: Reasons for demons attack

463 Reasons for demons'' attack

"Guild master, what do you say, if I said that the demons were looking for something in the cursed abyss?" Rulf finally mustered his courage and said his thoughts about the actions of the demons. "There is a chance for them to do that. But what is that valuable for them to send an entire army?" The old guild master agreed with him but he asked another question from that possibility. ording to the guild master, who had adventured most of the dangerous ces in the cursed wilderness and cursed abyss to finish some high danger rating missions knew that there were not many valuable things for demons to send a demon army. So, he still wasn''t able to believe Rulf''s wordspletely. Nevertheless, he didn''t directly strike off the possibility and waited for Rulf to exin why he had thought like that. "At the moment I don''t know but I can state two reasons for this possibility," Rulf shook his head at the guild master question; however, he replied with a serious look on his face that he could back his possibility with two reasons. "Go on," The guild master motioned Rulf to continue speaking with his hand without stopping his run. Rulf saw that the old guild master didn''t believe himpletely but still gave him some chance from his previous assumptions that helped them very much. So, he thought that he should not make the old guild master not believe him in the future. "First, the demon generals were trying to force the ''Demon Killer'' mercenary squad members out of the cursed abyss," Rulf said with a full confident look on his face and continued saying another fact, "And the demons opened that portal in the middle section of the cursed wilderness, which is quite a long distance even for us to travel and they were trying to bring all the human experts towards the cursed wilderness." Rulf didn''t waste any time andpleted speaking in one breath and waited for the old guild master toment on his thoughts. "Huh? Good...your thinking is always the best," the old guild master stopped all of sudden and looked at Rulf before praising his thinking ability. ''Phew'' Seeing that, Rulf also stopped running and heaved a sigh of relief that the guild master''s response was good. "And why do you think, they want to gather in the cursed wilderness when they could use a few high-level demon experts to enter the human world and silently take away what they want from the cursed abyss," Rulf never took the old guild master''s remarks in a negative way; instead, he always thought about what made the old guild master say what he had said. "Nevermind, this time the demons have various reasons for their attack. First, they want to test me. Second, they want something from the cursed abyss and third, there must be another reason for why they want every human expert to gather in the cursed wilderness," The old guild master concluded this matter into three reasons that the demons want to achieve from this demon invasion. "So, what should we do now, guild master?" Rulf, as always sought the old guild master advice as he experienced how the guild master was known to make careful decisions. "We can only do one thing now," The old guild master looked into the direction they had juste from and continued saying, "Let''s separate here. I will go back to the cursed abyss and you go to the co-ordinates sent by Edmond and aid him in stopping the demon army." "But, guild master," "There are no buts. This is not a request, it is an order. So, be careful and try to stop the demon army," the old guild master interrupted Rulf and ordered in a serious tone. "Yes, sir," Rulf didn''t dare to say anything and nodded his head. "By the way, if it is necessary, you can use your full power without any hesitation and kill the demons," The old guild master paused for a second before saying, "I am leaving the protection of my mercenary guild in your hands. So, don''t let me down." After saying his words, the old guild master disappeared from his ce without a trace. "Did he just say to use my full power?" Rulf knew that the old guild master wouldn''t listen to anyone and would do what he wanted to do; however, what shocked him was his words. ''He always said not to use it in front of anyone and why is he giving permission to use it?'' Rulf silently thought in his head before concluding, "Whatever, since the old man has given permission to use it, I will enjoy it for a while then." All of a sudden, Rulf became excited as he looked towards the direction that the old guild master had left before running towards Edmond''s direction. ''I should protect the mercenary guild building at any cost. It is the only ce that can make his old guild master rx peacefully,'' As he was running, Rulf thought about it and swore to protect the building at any cost. ''I hope he can truly control the power inside him this time without my presence,'' the old guild master, who was running in the opposite direction from that of Rulf has thought in his head with a serious expression on his face. ...¡­.. "Udo, just a few more minutes, then the awakening will be finished," In the outer section of the cursed wilderness, Edmond shouted at Udo and asked him to protect the young cultivators from the demon servants while they were awakening something. Edmond did not know that the guild master was noting towards him and only Rulf wasing to aid him. He was killing the demon servants that wereing towards the three young cultivators, King killer, Kind mantis and Silver goliath. Whereas Udo cleared the demon servants around Snow storm, Moon shadow and Bright shadow. As for the Barbarian, Darbaudr protected the Heaven raven, Dark me and Fearless gori. They were continuously killing the demon servants around these nine young cultivators for a while now and Edmond warned Udo and the Darbaudr to just continue their actions for some more time. ''Nods'' Udo and Darbaudr nodded their heads in agreement with Edmond''s words and paid full attention to their surroundings. "Ajax, are you alright? Do you need any help?" After getting the acknowledgement from Udo and the barbarian, Edmond looked at Ajax and asked him. "I am fine, Captain Edmond. I have justice and my shadow clone," Ajax pointed at the two figures in front of him and gave a slight smile to Edmond. Edmond nodded his head. "No," Just when he was about to clear the demon servants once again, a demon servant sneaked upon King killer that made Edmond anxious. Chapter 464: Rage potion

464 Rage potion

However, when he was clearing the demon servants around silver goliath, a demon servant managed to sneak upon King killer and Edmond waspletely surrounded by the demon servants and he could not reach him in time. So, he became anxious. Nevertheless, he calmed himself as he knew bing anxious wouldn''t help them much and swung the heavy sword in his head with full force which killed more than 5 demon servants. ''I need to be quicker, if I waste any more time, I can''t reach in time to save him,'' Seeing the demon servant was about to reach the King killer, Edmond''s heavy sword became even faster and hacked the demon servants. The demon servant slowly walked towards the King killer, who remained motionless with his eyes closed. King killer waspletely oblivious to his surroundings as he needed to fully focus on his awakening for it to be sessful. ''sh'' ''Puchhi'' Edmond shed the heavy sword in his hands like a mad man and within a few moments, he cleared the demon servants that were surrounding him and rushed towards the King killer to save him. Although Edmond was using his full speed he was unable to reach in time and the demon servant caught up to the king killer and kept a small dagger around the neck of the King killer. "Wait" Edmond realized that he won''t be able to save King killer with his speed anymore and all of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks before shouting at the Demon servant to stop. "Hehe" To his surprise, the demon servant revealed a cunningugh as he looked at Edmond but still he didn''t sh the dagger on the King killer''s neck. ''Huh? Is he a mutated demon servant? No wonder he was able to suppress the side effects of the rage potion,'' Looking at the cunningugh on the demon servant''s face, Edmond silently thought that this demon servant was not a normal one and must be a mutated one. The reason for his thinking was that the demon servants that were sent to invade other worlds were to be consumed a rage potion. As the name suggests, a rage potion was a one-time consumable item that could increase the strength of those who consumed it for a day. However, that strengthes at the cost of a few side-effects. One, for a whole day, they lose rational thinking and only follow what they were ordered to do before they consumed the rage potion. Another one was they needplete rest for 15-30 days depending on the body structure of the consumer. Therefore, when he saw a demon servant that was behaving with intelligence, Edmond thought that it must be a mutated one just like the elite demon general they had just killed a few minutes earlier. ''Huh?'' Edmond raised his brows when he heard those words and became alert as he knew that ''One should not believe the demon in any case, at any cost''. However, the life of King killer was in the hands of the demon servant. So, he didn''t want to risk it and nodded his head as though he agreed to the deal with the demon servant. Edmond treated every one among the nine young cultivators equally. But, still, he had high hopes for the King killer as he had personally trained his own fighting techniques and to his surprise, the King killer had secretly learned his fighting style. Nevertheless, even if there was anyone other than King killer, Edmond would have done the same as he always thought that everyone was his children. "What do you want?" Edmond asked the demon servant with a voice that even made the demon servant shiver. There was a reason for why he used the serious voice as it would make the demon servant think that he was not thinking much about King killer. If an enemy knows that a certain someone would do anything for the sake of a hostage, then they would ask for more. So, Edmond maintained a nonchnt expression on his face. Darbaudr and Udo cleared the demon servants around the other nine young cultivators and looked at the King killer, who was taken as a hostage by a mutated demon servant. ''Is there anything you can do with your spatial affinity skills?'' Udo asked Darbadur through the voice transmission about his spatial skills. Since Darabudr had a great affinity with the space elements of the essence of nature, Udo asked him whether he could transport himself behind the demon servant and save the King killer. ''The demon servant is very close to the king killer and what''s more, the dagger is almost cutting the King killer''s neck. So, it will be impossible for me to try my spatial skills to save him,'' However, Darbaudr shook his head and said he could not do anything since the demon servant was very close to the King killer. ''Sigh...then we have to give him what he wants and at the same time, we need to be careful in taking back the King killer from him,'' Udo sighed as alerted Darbaudr, putting aside his doubts about him. ''Yes,'' Darabdur also didn''t bother with Udo''s past behaviour and remained focused. ''Huh? Are these nine brothers and sisters trying to awaken something or what?'' Ajax only focused on killing demon servants until now and didn''t look at the nine young cultivators. So, when he looked at King killer remained motionless even with a dagger ced on his neck by the demon servant made him rte it to some awakening. Even when he was taken as a hostage by the demon servant, the king killer, who always had an arrogant look on his face maintained that look and didn''t bother with the demon servant behind him and continued to remain his eyes closed. ''Only if Necros is here, I would have saved him without much difficulty,'' Ajax thought about Necros, who was still under the side effects of using the strength potion. With Necros'' blind skill,?Ajax thought that he could have saved the King killer without much difficulty. ''Looks like King killer might have some n, I will wait for sometime before using the ''Absolute darkness,'''' When he saw the usual arrogant look on King killer''s face, Ajax stopped worrying about him and resumed his killing as he knew that he didn''t have anything that could save the King killer without harming him from the demon servant and decided to leave it to Edmond and others who have very fast reflexes. Since King killer and Edmond were having some kind of n, he didn''t want to interrupt it as it might cause the current predicament to be even moreplex. "Hehe¡­.I only have a simple request," the demon servant looked at Edmond and continued, "I only need a drop of blood essence from you three cultivators." Chapter 465: Blood Essence

465 Blood Essence

Edmond was shocked to hear the demon servant''s request in order to release the King killer. He was not the only one to be shocked, Udo and Darbaudr were also shocked to hear that. There was nothing wrong in Edmond and others to be shocked by the demon servant''s insane request. A cultivator, whether he belongs to the human race or any other races, when he enters the general realm cultivation realm or any corresponding general realms of other cultivation methods like spirit cultivation, Devil cultivation etc., he could convert his blood into blood essence that could be used in case of emergency situations or some near-death situations. The blood essence of a cultivator helps him to heal rapidly depending upon the concentration of the blood essence. However, it could not be used by any other cultivators other than the owner of the blood essence. In fact, it could be considered as a suicide to use another cultivator''s blood essence. So, when they heard the insane request of the demon servant, Edmond and others were shocked. ''Why is he requesting my blood essence? Don''t tell me he is using it to increase his strength,'' Edmond suppressed his shock and thought in his head while seriously looking at the demon servant. Even though it was suicide to absorb another cultivator''s blood essence, the demons were always a varying race that could do those suicide attempts and sessfully convert them to their own use which made Edmond hesitate to give his blood essence. "Why do you want our blood essence? What will you do with it?" Edmond didn''t agree to the demon servant''s request instantly as he doesn''t want to give their blood essence without knowing what that demon servant would do with the blood essence. "Huh? Why do you care? Also, I am not requesting you. Goddammit, I am ordering you," The demon servant raised his brows on his hideous face and scoffed at Edmond. Amidst his sentence, the demon servant''s eyes turned red for a second that made him curse before he became normal. ''Damn it, I am unable to suppress the side effects of the rage potion for much longer. I need to hurry up,'' The demon servant hurriedly wanted to go from this ce after getting what he wanted from Edmond and others. When his eyes shed a red-light, the dagger that was ced on the King killer''s neck shook a little and cut into the skin of the King killer''s neck and a small bloodline appeared. So, the demon servant feared that he would be a mindless puppet for the higher demons once the rage potion effect kicks into him. "Hurry up, otherwise, I will kill him," The demon servant used that small cut on the King killer''s neck to his advantage and tried to hurry Edmondto give his and others'' blood essence to him. Although it looked simple to convert one''s blood into the blood essence, it was very hard and a very tiring process. To refine their blood essence they need to refine their blood for months before they could even form one drop of blood essence. The process doesn''t stop after forming that one drop of blood essence. That drop of blood essence would only have less than 10 percent of purity in it. So, the general realm cultivators have to refine that drop of blood for a few weeks or even months. For some people, it would take years for that drop of blood essence to reach 100 percent purity. ''After refining for many years I only managed to refine three drops of essence of nature and I already used two of them. Now, I only have one drop of 100 percent purified blood essence. If I give it to him, then I will not have any instant healing during the mission,'' Edmond worried that his n, which he was nning for years now, would be spoiled if he didn''t have that drop of blood essence. Moreover, he needs a year with his present elite general realm cultivation to refine another drop of purified blood essence. ''Sigh...if he doesn''t agree to another request, I will just give away that drop and postpone my n for another year or two,'' Finally, after much thinking, Edmond concluded to give up his blood essence to the demon servant and exchange it with the King killer. "Huh? You want me to change my request?" Once again the demon servant''s face became very angry for a moment before turning to normal and continued, "Sure." To Edmond''s surprise, the demon servant agreed to Edmond''s request to change his demand to release the King killer. "In that case, I want your dead body," While Edmond was feeling relieved, the demon servant tossed a bomb on Edmond''s relief and made his face angry. "What the¡­. You want my dead body? Go f*ck yourself. I don''t care whether you leave him or not," Edmond turned his back to the demon servant and asked him to do what he wanted to do to the King killer. As soon as he turned his back to the demon servant, Edmond''s eyes were filled with tears as he thought that this was the only way for him to save King killer. ''Sigh'' Udo sighed as he knew that Edmond was only trying to act nonchntly with the King killer life as it would make the demon servant think that he didn''t care much about King killer''s life. "Haha¡­.You don''t need to act with your nonchnt expression. I know you care about him, So, simply give me one drop of blood essence from you three people," The demon servant loudlyughed and shook his head before pointing his finger at Udo and Darbaudr, he asked to give their drops of blood essence quickly along with Edmond''s blood essence. "Sigh" Edmond cleared his eyes and turned to face the demon servant and sighed as he knew that his actions won''t be of any help to him. "Darbaudr, will you give a drop of blood essence to save my adopted son," Edmond looked at the Barbarian and asked him whether he was willing to give his blood essence or not. Edmond didn''t ask Udo as he knew that he would not hesitate to give one drop of blood essence Because when they were in a critical situation, Edmond used his own drop of blood essence to save Udo and at that time, Udo promised that ''If therees a time for my blood essence to use for you, I won''t hesitate for a second before using?it.'' So, Edmond didn''t ask Udo and only asked the Barbarian for his willingness. ''What do you say, Young master?'' However, Darbaudr didn''t reply to Edmond and looked at Ajax for his permission. Edmond also noticed it and heaved a sigh of relief as he knew that Ajax would order the barbarian to give the blood essence. Chapter 466: Misunderstanding?

466 Misunderstanding?

However, to Edmond''s surprise, he saw Ajax shook his head in response to Darbaudr''s look. ''What? Is he asking not to give blood essence to me,'' All of a sudden, Edmond felt disappointed with Ajax and thought that he still didn''t understand Ajaxpletely. ''Sigh...why should he order his sub-ordinate to give the blood essence of saving a person who he had recently met,'' Soon, Ajax felt that it was not Ajax''s fault to deny his permission for the barbarian to give his blood essence. As he knew that, after taking out the concentrated blood essence from the body of the cultivator, that cultivator would be in a weakened state for a certain time. Unless it was meant to be used for himself, the cultivator would never take it out of his body which could heal any severe injuries on his body. ''Sorry Captain Edmond, I ...,'' ''No need to apologize, Ajax. I know you have something important to do with Darbaudr''s strength and taking out the blood essence from his body would only make him weaken. I would do the same if I was in your ce,'' Before Ajax could say anything through the voice transmission, he was interrupted by Edmond. He even used his own reference to make Ajax not guilty for not giving the blood essence as he knew that Ajax was about to something important and that needs the strength of someone like Darbaudr. ''Huh? What is he saying? What did I do?'' Ajax was puzzled at why Edmond was saying all those things and confusedly looked at Edmond, who was not looking at Ajax anymore, and turned to the demon servant before he started talking. "I can only give two drops of blood essence and as for thatst one, he has no rtion with him and he doesn''t even bother about him. So, just take two drops of blood essence and leave him," Edmond said to the demon servant with a real nonchnt expression on his face and said that he could only give two drops of blood essence. "Huh?" The mutated demon servant looked at the barbarian for a moment before nodding his head as he understood that Darbaudr wasn''t bothered even a little for the life of the hostage in his hand. ''I will just take those two drops of blood essence and kill this young cultivator before escaping from here,'' the demon servant cunninglyughed inside his heart at his inner thoughts. "By the way, you must be thinking that you can escape withoutpleting our deal. I already sealed our surroundings and you can''t escape unless I unseal it," Edmond replied with the same nonchnt expression on his face that made the mutated demon servant''s inner thoughtse to an end. ''Damn it...how did he know? Right! It must be because of my race,'' The demon servant shook his head because his race was famous for notpleting the deals made with others. The demon servants that were attacking the remaining eight young cultivators were already cleared by Edmond and others earlier and the demon army no longer bothered about them and continued to march towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. Except for Ajax and Justice, no one was fighting the demon servants. After the continuous killing of many demon servants, Justice had multiple breakthroughs and reached level 8 of themander realm. As for how the system converted his killing into cultivations, Ajax had no idea. For him as long as Justice''s cultivation increased it was a good thing for him. So, he didn''t bother the system about Justice''s cultivation method. "An outsider is an outsider as we can''t rely on him when we needed some help from them," Udo nodded his head at Edmond and mocked Ajax indirectly in front of the barbarian. The outsider that Udo mentioned was none other than Ajax, who didn''t even think much before directly telling his sub-ordinate not to give his blood essence. "Huh?" When he heard that, Darbaudr raised his brows at Udo''s words; however, he didn''t say anything and kept an eye on the demon servants from the demon army that might attack the remaining eight young cultivators. ''Che'' Udo scoffed at Darbaudr before sitting cross-legged to retrieve his blood essence from his body. The storage ce for the blood essence was different for different people. For most cultivators, it was stored above the area where their spirit consciousness lies (That is above their dantian). However, some people could store them in other parts of their bodies. Like in their head or some other ces. ''Huh? Did Edmond misunderstood me just now,'' Finally, Ajax managed to find out the change in Captain Edmond''s behaviour and shook his head. ''I thought they had some kind of n to save King killer. Looks like they don''t have one,'' Ajax also noticed another thing when he saw both Edmond and Udo sat on the ground to take out their blood essence from their bodies to give it to the demon servants and thought inside his mind. ''I need to stop them; otherwise, if they take their blood essence out of their body, it will be impossible for us to fight against the demon army,'' Ajax hurriedmunicated with Edmond and Udo at the same time saying, ''Captain Edmond, you misunderstood me earlier. The reason, he said Darbaudr not to give his blood essence because I have a n to save the King killer.'' ''What?'' Both Edmond and Udo were shocked to hear Ajax''s words because even themselves were unable to save the King killer and how a level 1 elitemander realm cultivator could help them. Nevertheless, they believed Ajax''s words as they knew Ajax was not an average cultivator and had some mysterious skills and techniques in his arsenal. ''What is the n and what we need to do?'' Edmond didn''t waste any time and asked Ajax about his n. He didn''t even waste time to talk about their earlier misunderstanding. From this, one could understand how anxious he was to save the King killer. ''You just need to distract the demon servant for a moment when I am within 100 meters away from him and the rest of it, I will take care,'' Ajax didn''t exin about his npletely and stopped his voice transmission with Edmond and Udo. ''It will take a few moments for Captain Edmond to open his eyes so that the demon servant would not doubt anything. I will use that time to move closer to him,'' Ajax looked at Edmond and Udo, who were acting as though they were retrieving the blood essence from their bodies. So, Ajax used this time to move closer to the demon servant without raising any suspicions. ''Captain Edmond, start disturbing him,'' After moving a sufficient distance to the demon servant, Ajax asked Edmond to do this thing. Edmond made some mysterious hand symbols and made the demon servant assume that the blood essence from Edmond''s fist. Simrly, Udo also followed Edmond''s actions and closed his fist as though the blood essence of in his hand. "Aragh" Before Edmond and Udo could even open their eyes, the demon servant fell to the ground and cried in pain. Chapter 467: Using Absolute darkness

467 Using ''Absolute darkness''

Both Edmond and Udo were shocked to see the demon servant cry in pain while rolling on the ground, clutching onto his head with both of his hands. While thinking that, they looked at Ajax as he was the one who mentioned that he had a n to save the King killer. ''Haha...'' When they looked at him, Ajax smiled at them with a slight smile on his face and moved towards the mutated demon servant. "Ajax, how did you do it?" Edmond hurriedly moved towards the King killer, who was still in the middle of his awakening just like the other eight remaining young cultivators. Only after he checked that the King killer was fine, Edmond asked Ajax on how he did that. ... A few moments before Edmond and Udo open their eyes, ''Now, I am within the range,'' Ajax roughly gauged the distance between him and the mutated demon servant who was holding the King killer as a hostage and that this was enough distance to use his skill. After reaching the range, he looked at Edmond and Udo, who started their acting by doing some mysterious symbols with their hands. Next, he looked at the demon servant, who raised his brows looking at the actions of Edmond and Udo. When he was looking at them, he unconsciously loosened the grip on the King killer which made Ajax''s eyes shine with bright light. ''This is it,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time when he saw the dagger in the demon servant''s hands was moved a little distance away from the King killer''s neck and silently shouted in his head, ''Absolute darkness.'' As soon as he thought that, the small ck light beam entered into the demon servant''s head within a few seconds. Without the knowledge of the ck light beam that entered into his body, the demon servant looked at his surroundings for a second before the dagger in his hands fell down to the ground and next, he fell down along with it and started rolling on the ground while clutching his head and howled in pain. Edmond and Udo immediately stopped their acting and opened their eyes when they heard the painful shouts and were puzzled. ..... "So, this is what happened earlier, Captain Edmond," Ajax exined to both Edmond and Udo about what he had done without hiding anything. He even said about his skill ''Absolute darkness''. "What?" Edmond and Udo were shocked at Ajax''s other mysterious skill; however, the shock was dominated by their anger towards Ajax. "You should have used that skill already...Sigh. Then we would have not gone through all of this," Nevertheless, Edmond suppressed his anger and sighed at Ajax''ste use of that mysterious skill. ''...'' Both Edmond and Udo were speechless before they startedughing at Ajax''s words. "Actually, it is my n to maintain the nonchnt expression on my face, so that the demon servant will not dare to ask for some high-level things from us; however, it is a failure," Edmond embarrassedly exined his n which ended up as a failure before he could take it to the next level. ''Aargh'' ''Anyone help me'' After that, everyone gathered around the demon servant that was howling in pain. "What do you want to do with him, Ajax," Edmond asked Ajax, seeing at the demon servant that made him anxious until earlier. "I just want him to suffer a little more and then I will kill him," Ajax replied without any mercy in his words. ording to him, this mutated demon was very cunning and almost made everyone worried for a while. So, he wanted him to suffer from some nightmares before killing him. In general, the mutated demon servant would have easily escaped from the skill ''Absolute darkness'' with his cultivation level which was a peak elitemander realm and only one step away from reaching the general realm. Moreover, he was a mutated one that had more resistance than many othermon demon servants. However, he was already affected by the side-effects of the rage potion which made him fully vulnerable to the effects of the skill ''Absolute darkness''. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' The mutated demon servant shouted for a while before his eyes lost all the life from them and the resounding painful noises were finally calmed down. ''Ding, The host killed a mutated peak elitemander realm demon servant. Gained 0 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Since the demon servant that the host killed is a mutated one, the target is increased by a count of 5 demon servants. As soon as the mutated demon servant died, as usual, Ajax got a couple of system notifications. Although the first system notification was amon one, the second notification made him raise his brows. However, Ajax didn''t bother to check it as he knew Edmond and others were looking at him. So, he randomly talked about something. Nevertheless, without much information from the system, Ajax assumed that this mutated demon servant that he killed just now was equal to five normal demon servants ording to the system. "So, what shall we do now?" After talking for a few minutes, Ajax asked Edmond about their next n while looking at his surroundings. Around him, all the nine young cultivators remained in a motionless position as they were awakening something. The demon servant was still rolling on the ground with painful cries while the demon army almost crossed them when they were making a deal with the mutated demon servant. So, Ajax asked whether they should stop the demon army from exiting the cursed wilderness or wait until the nine young cultivators wake up from their awakening. ''Hmm,'' Edmond thought for a moment before looking at the mutated demon servant and the demon army that was at a distance from them, then said, ''Let''s wait until they finish their awakening process.'' Although stopping the demon army was important; what''s more important for Edmond was to protect his adopted children from the next batch of the demons which mighte in any moment now. So, he stopped everyone from moving away from their position and asked all of them to protect the nine young cultivators. "Okay," Ajax and Udo nodded their heads in agreement with Edmond''s words before Ajax walked towards the three cultivators that were selected by the Barbarian earlier. Everyone one moved back to their positions and rxed as there was no sign of any demonic army from the portal. ''System, show the progress for the second target of the bonus mission,'' Ajax sat near to the Dark me along with Justice before asking the system to show his progress on the bonus mission. When he killed the mutated demon servant, he got a notification saying that his target count had been increased by 5. So, he wanted to check how many demon servants he had to kill beforepleting the target. ''Ding, Chapter 468: Second batch of the demon army

468 Second batch of the demon army

The second target of the bonus mission:- 31/100. Soon, the system sent the progress bar for the second target of the bonus mission. ''Good,'' Seeing the number of demon servants he had killed in the second target, Ajax was satisfied and nodded his head. ''Is it all this peaceful?'' Only now did Ajax notice the silence in his surroundings and asked himself while observing the calm cursed wilderness environment. Until now, the surroundings were noisy with the sounds from the battle with the demon servants; however, now there were no demon servants near them as they were already heading towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. Time continued to pass and after less than 30 minutes, the nine young cultivators slowly started opening their eyes one by one. ''They look a little different from before,'' Ajax noticed a brilliant light in their eyes for a second before it disappeared and at the same time, he also noticed some changes in their movements. As they were walking towards Edmond and others, they were in perfect synchronization as all nine young cultivators were the same. ''System, do you know what they awakened just now?'' Ajax was curious and asked the system to know about it. ''Ding, Pay 2000 units of the essence of nature to know about it. ''So, you are back to the business. I thought you changed,'' Ajax bitterly shook his head and didn''t bother to use the essence of nature to know about the awakening of the nine young cultivators. The essence of nature in his spirit consciousness was very less and he needed them for emergency purposes. So, he doesn''t want to waste the essence of nature. Fearless gori, Dark me and Heavenly raven walked towards Ajax as he was closest to them. "Hey Ajax, thanks for protecting us while we are awakening," The three young cultivators thanked Ajax and Darbaudr for protecting them. "No problem. Let''s go and meet up with others," Ajax stood up from the ground and shook his head before suggesting to move towards others. No one had a problem with it as they started moving towards Edmond and others. "By the way, Brother Gori, what did you guys awaken until now?" Since the system was asking for the essence of nature for that information, he tried asking about it to the awakener. "Huh? It is called nine-men awakening," The Fearless gori looked at Ajax for a moment and continued exining, "To awaken it, we nine people needed to cultivate a secret technique and along with it, we needed to train until everyone of us is exhausted." Fearless gori stopped and looked at the Dwarf like Dark me. After Fearless gori, Dark me continued and exined about the nine men awakening to the best of his knowledge. "Oh," Ajax nodded his head and asked another thing, "So, what are the uses of this nine-men awakening? It must be very great, right?" Since the nine-men awakening needed nine people to cultivate a secret technique and needed various other critical conditions to be fulfilled. So, Ajax expected the effects of this nine-men awakening must be good. By the time Ajax asked his question, they had joined Edmond and others. "Huh? You want to know the effects of the nine-men awakening?" Edmond raised his brows before chucking to himself and said, "Just wait a little longer and you will see what it can do." Dark me, who was about to say the uses of the nine-men awakening stopped his exnation when he received a re from Captain Edmond. ''Sigh'' Ajax secretly sighed as he knew Edmond was doing this on purpose for him to continue to hang in curiosity. ''I think, I need to wait for a while before I know the true power of the nine-men awakening,'' Ajax didn''t ask about its use when he saw everyone was ignoring him as though they were afraid to answer his question. "Okay, everyone, what do you want to do now? Shall we take some rest or head straight to the battle?" Edmond was satisfied with his adopted children and asked about their choice. The reason Edmond wanted them to enter the demon world was for the sake of this nine-men awakening. Since the awakening was sessfully finished even before they entered the demon world, Edmond didn''t bother with the demon world. So, he casually asked everyone about what would be their choice. "I want to fight," "I want to fight." . . . All the nine young cultivators were excited to test the power of their awakening. So, without any hesitation, they choose to fight the demon army. "I am always ready to fight," Even though he had less than 20 percent of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, he wanted to fight because he had a target to finish in the bonus andpleting that target would increase his spirit cultivation by another two minor realms. So, how could he think about resting when there were free cultivation energy orbs in front of him. "Okay then, let''s go and start killing the demons that dared to invade our human world," Edmond, with a shout motivated all the others around him and moved towards the exit of the cursed wilderness to catch up to the demon army. Behind him, the rest of the group also followed Edmond. ''Thud thud thud'' ''Thud thud thud'' "Kill Kill Kill" However, just as they took a couple of steps, the ck portal to the demon world in the distance was erged its size by two times. From it, another batch of demon servants with the same set of armour and spear walked out of it while shouting the word ''Kill''. Moreover, the demon army in this batch had almost the same size of the first batch; however, the lowest cultivation strength of the demon servant in this batch was level 1 of the elitemander realm. Just like the previous batch of the demon army, this batch also did not bother much with the presence of Edmond and others and moved to the exit of the cursed wilderness. ''Damn it. Why did the portal''s size increase that big,'' When the size of the portal to the demon world, Edmond felt some bad premonition in his heart and continued thinking, ''Looks like some high-level demon generals will being out now.'' After thinking of this possibility, Edmond didn''t waste any time before ordering the rest of the group, "Everyone, this batch is more powerful than the earlier one. There might be many mutated demon servants along with more elite demon generals. So, be careful while fighting." "Yes, Captain," Except for Udo and Darabudr, the rest of the group seriously nodded their heads in response to Edmond''s words. "Hahaha...we have met once again, Edmond or should I call you Captain Edmond?" Just as the young cultivators nodded their heads, an eerie voice came from the demon army which made Edmond''s face be serious all of sudden. Chapter 469: Mocking the demon general

469 Mocking the demon general

Only when the ck silhouette stopped moving, Ajax and others were able to see the true appearance of that ck silhouette. The demon in front of them had an above-average build and with only one horn on his left forehead. As for the other horn, it was half the size of the left horn. "Long time no see, Captain Edmond. I am continuously hearing your name even in the demon world. No one wonder, you have be very powerfulpared to thest time we have met," the elite demon general nced at Ajax and others before focusing on Edmond and started praising him. "You have also be powerful. Just like me, you have also broken through to the elite general realm,"?Edmond''s serious expression returned to normal and with a slight smile on his face, he replied to the elite demon general with a single horn. "Shall we resume our fighting from the past?" the elite demon general took out his huge ck sword and stood in a fighting stance while challenging Edmond. "Why not? I have already given you a great memory for your entire life when we foughtst time," Edmond mocked the elite demon general while taking out his heavy sword. "You go and test your skills on the demon army," Before he could start his fighting, Edmond looked at the young cultivators and ordered them to try their new awakening and other skills. After that, he looked at Udo and Darabudr before saying, "Please be careful and try to protect the young ones and try to eliminate as many demon servants as possible." Everyone nodded their heads at Edmond''s words before moving away from Edmond and rushed towards the second batch of the demon army. As for the first batch of the demon army, no one bothered about it. "Edmond, because of you, I am unable to talk to my friends and even demon servants started mocking me behind my back," The elite demon general looked at Edmond with hatred and continued, "From that moment, I have decided that I will kill you with my own hands and devour you before assimting your cultivation as my own.'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' After saying his words, the elite demon general rushed at Edmond and shed his sword at him. "Hehe" However, in reply to the elite demon general''s words, Edmond simply smiled and casually blocked the huge ck sword with his own sword. "Who do you think you are? Do you still think I am the past Edmond, who is still in the general realm?" Edmond didn''t attack the elite demon general and lightly pushed him back with his sword. The elite demon general was pushed back by more than 10 meters with Edmond''s light push. "Huh? When did you enter the level 5 of the elite general realm?" The elite demon general was shocked by Edmond''s light push and asked Edmond about his cultivation. "Huh? A monster peach? Where did you get it?" The elite demon general once again rushed towards Edmond with his huge sword and asked about the monster peach. ''sh'' ''Block'' "It''s none of your business," This time, Edmond blocked the huge ck sword with his right hand and gave a powerful punch with his left hand into the chest of the elite demon general. "How is it? Powerful?" Edmond mocked the elite demon general as he had bad blood with this demon. A few years ago, when Edmond was on a solo mission to rescue a small town from the demon invasion, he had met this demon general. At that time, both Edmond and that elite demon general were only in the general realm. However, Edmond was unable to save the small town from the small demon unit that was led by this elite demon general. In a fit of rage, Edmond killed all the demon servants in the small demon units before started fighting with the demon general. After some intense fighting, Edmond managed to cut the right horn of the demon general. As soon as the demon horn was cut off by Edmond, the demon general escaped back to the demon world without any hesitation. ''Poor residents of that small town who were mercilessly killed by your unit. If I was able to reach there in time I would have saved them easily,'' This was the thought that lingered in Edmond''s head from time to time. So, he swore to kill this demon general when they met again in the future. To his surprise, the time for his revenge for the resident of the small town hade earlier than he thought and wanted to torture him before killing him. "It''s powerful," the elite demon general ced his hand on his chest and replied with a slight smile on his face, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something, just like you I have encountered my own fortuitous events...hehe." The elite demon general stood up from the ground and looking at Edmond he split some ck blood from his mouth onto the ground. ''Huh?'' Hearing his words, Edmond raised his brows as he suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart and was careful all of sudden. "My servants,e here and merge with me," The elite demon general performed some mysterious symbols with his hands and shouted at the demon army. As soon as he did that, a dozen demon servants came out of the huge demon army and stood around the elite demon general before turning into a ck gas and entered into his body. With each passing second, the elite demon general''s cultivation started increasing. From level 2 of the elite general realm to level 3, level 4 and finally the increment in his cultivation was stopped at level 5 of the elite general realm. "Holy heck. What a cool technique, who have got. Looks like I need to use a little more than my 50 percent of my strength," Even after seeing the increment in the cultivation of the elite demon general, Edmond mocked him as he wanted to torment the elite demon general even more. "Youu..." The elite demon general was sessfully triggered by Edmond''s words and without any dy, he rushed towards Edmond with his huge ck sword. ''Looks Like I need to use my full strength to block this attack,'' Edmond looked at the iing demon''s attack and thought in his head. Although he mocked the elite demon general, Edmond was only trying to irritate him. In actual fact, he was very serious about the elite demon general with a boosted cultivation. ..... "Captain Edmond is truly very powerful," Ajax looked at Edmond''s punch and felt goosebumps and thought, ''I did a good thing by giving the monster peach to him.'' "Ajax, behind you," As he was thinking, the beautiful Snow storm anxiously warned Ajax to look behind him. However, Ajax was in his deep thoughts and didn''t hear her warning. Chapter 470: Killed in three moves

470 Killed in three moves

Even when Snow storm warned Ajax to check his back, he was still wondering about his other monster peach. ording to the system, only a general realm cultivator could consume the monster peach. So, he rejected the idea of consuming it for now. ''But the fruit''s effects will be lost in another 9 days and 12 hours. So, I can only give or sell it to others,'' System informed him that the fruit''s effects would onlyst for 10 days and it''s been nearly 12 hours since he received the monster peach. "When you are in the middle of a fight,?? you should not space out. If you do,? then you will die even before you know,?" All of a sudden,? Ajax heard a rough voice from behind; However,? Ajax didn''t even bother about it and smirked as he looked at Snow storm before saying, "Thanks for the warning," ''Oh'' When she saw a smirk on Ajax''s face, Snow storm surprised before continuing her fight. ''Swoosh'' "Die" Behind him,? a mutated demon servant thrust his spear at Ajax with a loud shout; however, before the spear could even reach Ajax, it was stopped by Justice. "What?" The mutated demon servant was shocked to reach a level 8mander realm cultivator was able to block his attack without any difficulty. "Don''t be surprised. Look behind you," Justice revealed a small smile and asked the demon servant to turn around. ''Huh?'' The mutated demon servant didn''t turn back and seriously looked at Justice. "Sigh...then goodbye," Justice shook his head as he sighed and waved his hand at the mutated demon general. "Don''t fool¡­..," ''Puchii'' ''Surp'' Before the mutated demon servant could finish his sentence, arge hole appeared in his chest and a ck shadow came out of it after absorbing all the ck blood from the dead body. The heavy build of the mutated demon servant became very thin and even then, there was a shocked expression on his hideous pale face. ''Ding, The host''s shadow clone killed a mutated demon servant. No essence of nature gained. ''Ding, The second target in the bonus mission''s progress is increased by a count of five. "Good job, Justice," Ajax praised Justice, whose cultivation increased a little from before and made Ajax think, ''Since I am not getting the essence of nature, then why was he able to get increment in his cultivation.'' Justice''s method of cultivation was always a mystery to Ajax and shook his head before stopped thinking about it. ''If a mutated demon servant gives me a five times count then I wonder, how many times will my progress be increased if I kill a demon general?'' Ajax''s expections continued to increase as his eyesnded on a demon general that was lurking in the demon army. ''So, it will be you,'' Ajax selected his next target and moved towards the demon general in the demon army. Soon, Justice and his shadow clone disappeared into the demon army and started killing the demon servants while supporting each other. "Everyone, let''s kill this demon general," All of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his tracks as heard the loud voice of Silver Goliath, who ordered the remaining eight young cultivators to kill a demon general whose strength was around level 1 of the general realm. ''I will see how powerful that nine-men awakening will be,'' Ajax stopped his ns as he wanted to witness the power of their awakening. As soon as the Silver Goliath finished his words, everyone surrounded that demon general and looked at each others'' faces for a moment and then focused on the demon general. "Haha...you think I am easy to kill since my cultivation is only level 1 of the general realm? If so, you are wrong," The demon general didn''t show any fear andughed at the young cultivators who surrounded him. He didn''t stop there, he continued speaking, "Even peak level demon generals fear me." Without wasting any time, the demon general rushed towards Silver Goliath as he was the leader of the group, the demon general wanted to kill him first before killing the remaining eight young cultivators. ''Swoosh'' ''Kick'' However, before the demon general could even take a few steps, a blurred silhouette appeared in front of him and kicked him into the air. ''Who?'' The demon general was shocked at the sudden appearance of a young cultivator in front of him and unable to dodge his kick. "I will kil¡­.," While he was in the mid-air, the demon general looked at the Kind mantis, who was known for his speed, and cursed him. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Pak'' ''Pak'' Nevertheless, before he could even finish his cursing, the twins, Moon shadow and Bright shadow appeared above him and kicked him down to the ground. Next, Fearless gori, who was in his beast form jumped onto the demon general and started punching him. "Fearless, stop jumping. He is dead already," Dark me shook his head and asked the Fearless gori to stop jumping as the demon general was already dead. ''What? The demon general is dead within three moves?'' Ajax, who was carefully observing the fight between the demon general and the nine young cultivators was shocked as he didn''t think that the demon general would be dead in only three moves. ''Is this the power of the nine-men awakening? But only four people attacked the enemy and even those four members only used verymon attacks and nothing special. Looks like I need to ask them to understand it,'' Ajax was unable to exactly find out what that nine-men awakening was doing; but one thing he knew for sure was that what he had seen just now was not its full power. ''Let me ask them,'' With that thought in his mind he moved towards Silver Goliath, the leader of the nine-men squad. ..... ''Damn, how is he very powerful?'' The elite demon general, who was still pretending to be dead and at the same time boosting his cultivation was shocked by Edmond''s earlier punch and thought in his head. ''Nevermind, I will wait until this Edmond guy is injured by this idiot and then I will sneak up to that idiot and kill both of them...Hehe, '' the elite demon general cunninglyughed and looked at the young cultivators. ''What the heck! They killed?the level 1 demon general in three moves?'' Once again he received a shock from the young cultivators as he saw that they killed a demon general within three moves. ''Looks like I am surrounded by so many geniuses. Once I consume all of them, then without a doubt, I can be the demon king within the shortest time possible,'' the elite demon general stopped paying attention to others and closed his eyes to speed up his boosting process. Chapter 471: Three effects

471 Three effects

Even Ajax, with his simple gaze, noticed more than 6 demon generals and more than a dozen demon servants. However, no one wasing out of the demon army and waited for a chance to sneak upon them. Moreover, they didn''t stress themselves like when they fought with the first batch of the demon army. ''Since they are hiding in the demon army, let them hide,'' Ajax and the other young cultivators didn''t bother with the hiding demon generals and mutated demon servants as they knew it was dangerous for them to enter the demon army recklessly. They only fought with the ones that dared toe out of the demon army or selected some corner of the demon army to kill the demon servants. "Brother Killer, Captain Edmond is busy fighting. Can you please say the effects of the Nine-men awakening?" Ajax asked the vice-leader of the young cultivators about Nine-men awakening. There was a reason why he asked King Killer as Ajax thought that he would definitely get an answer from him. When King Killer was taken hostage by a mutated demon servant, Ajax saved him by using Absolute darkness; Even though he was closing his eyes at that time, he heard the conversation between Edmond and Ajax after he killed that mutated demon servant. So, he knew Ajax had saved him and ording to his nature, he would not like to owe anyone other than Captain Edmond. "There are three effects from this nine-men awakening," The king killer didn''t think much before saying about it. "First,? We nine members are linked with each other through our spirit consciousness," Ajax didn''t interrupt him and waited for him to continue his exnation. "Second,? Incremental damage. With each move from one of us on an opponent, the damage will be increased with the next move," The King Killer looked at Ajax''s confused expression on his face and shook his head before giving an example, "For example,? let''s take our earlier fight. First,? Kind mantis kicked the demon general with his original strength,? next the twin''s attack will be 50 percent more than their original attack and when we are at our third move, the demon general died. However, if he was alive we would have used our nine-menbo to kill him," King Killer, who was not good at exining, tried his best to exin Ajax about the second effect of the nine-men awakening. ''Oh'' Ajax, now truly feared the nine-men awakening after knowing the second effect. "So, the final attack in the nine-men awakening''s second effect will have the strength that is nine times the original strength of the attacker?" Ajax asked the King killer while simplifying his exnation. ''Pfft...Hahaha'' While they were conversing, the remaining young cultivators looked at King killer and tried to withhold theirughing; however, they were unable to hold it for much longer and startedughing. "Hmph" When he saw that, the King Killer harrumphed and arrogantly looked at Ajax. "Then, what about the third effect?" Ajax didn''t mind the arrogant look on the King Killer''s face as he knew that it was hismon trait to maintain that arrogant look all the time. "The third effect is the most powerful one among all the three because it will bring all our cultivation levels to the one who has the highest cultivation permanently. And whenever anyone breakthroughs in their cultivation, the rest of us will also make a breakthrough to the same level of that member," The King Killer looked at the shocked expression on Ajax''s face and felt satisfied. However, the shocked expression on Ajax''s face turned into a puzzled expression. ??Huh? What happened? Did you not understand anything in this?" The King killer asked Ajax when he looked at the confused expression on Ajax''s face. "Yes, I have a doubt. If what you said is true then¡­," "Your doubt must be why we still have different cultivations and not the same level of cultivation as me, right?," Before Ajax could ask his doubt, the Silver Goliath came forward and interrupted him and said with augh. "Yes," Ajax nodded his head while rubbing the back of his head. "Actually, we are yet to achieve the third effect of the nine-awakening," the Silver Goliath rified Ajax''s doubt while briefly exining, "To achieve it, we need to train using the first two effects of the nine-awakening. So, it will take time before we can enjoy the third effect." Although it seemed that Silver Goliath, who had the highest cultivation among the nine young cultivators was not benefiting much with the third effect, it was wrong. After everyone''s cultivation boosted to his cultivation, he could easily increase his cultivation from their breakthroughs. The reason Silver Goliath was having high-cultivation was because of his age. Among all the nine young cultivators, he was the oldest one and whenpared to others he was not a genius when ites to breakthroughs. "Oh, it is very nice then. Let''s train with this demon army and be stronger," Ajax felt that he still had a lot to learn in this world after knowing about the three effects of the Nine-men awakening; Nevertheless, he wanted these young cultivators to achieve that final effect as soon as possible. So, he suggested training with the demon army as it was the best training spot for them as it required not only brute strength but they also needed to keep an eye on their surroundings from the lurking demon generals and mutated demon servants. Overall, this demon army would help both their body cultivation and adaptability to any kind of situation. ???Let''s go," The nine young cultivators selected a small portion of the demon army for their training whereas Ajax, his shadow clone, and justice formed a team and moved towards the demon general he had selected and baited himself for that demon general. ''Until hees out of the demon army, I will pretend to be exhausted while barely killing the demon servants,'' Ajax briefly exined his n about bringing that demon general out of the demon army to Justice and ordered his shadow clone to cover for him in times of need. ''Let''s see, how many targets will be increased in the bonus mission when I kill you,'' Ajax revealed a cunning smile on his face for only a second before recing it with an exhausted look. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''Puchii'' Ajax and his small team started their n and started killing the demon servants that only attacked them if they were in their way. Even after killing more than 10 demon servants with their tired faces, the demon general still didn''te out of the demon army which made Ajax confused. Nevertheless, he continued to kill the demon servants with the same tired faces. If anyone saw them now, they would definitely think that they would die within a few moments with exhaustion. That''s how great their acting was. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Ajax saw a silhouette running towards him with full force that made him smile and think, ''Finally, you areing out.'' Chapter 472: Hidden weapons specialis

472 Hidden weapons specialis

After finishing his words, he didn''t say another word before he threw many hidden needles at Ajax. ''Argh'' Ajax didn''t expect that the demon general was a hidden weapons specialist and hurriedly dodged sideways; however, some of the hidden needles pierced into his right hand making him gasp in pain... ''What is happening to my right hand?'' As soon as the pain from his right hand subsided, he was unable to feel his right hand. "Haha...don''t worry. I just sealed your main vitals that help in the functioning of your right hand," The demon generalughed and replied the serious matter in a cool manner making Ajax frown. "Do you think I am like them?" The demon general pointed his finger at the demon servants that were blindly marching towards the exit of the cursed wilderness and continued, "I know you are faking your exhaustion from the beginning and I waited until you are really exhausted...Hehe." The demon general eerily smiled as he continued, ''If I wanted to kill you, I could have killed you long back; however, I like torturing the young human genius. So, shall we start the torturing session?'' ''Haha...So what, if?I am truly exhausted?'' Seeing the demon general, who was slowly walking towards him, Ajax muttered in a voice that was barely audible to the demon general. ''Huh?'' When he heard Ajax''s words, the demon general stopped in his tracks and raised his brows before looking at Ajax, who was supporting his right hand with his left hand. "Stop faking it. You can''t use your w type skill with your right time any time soon," the demon general shook his head and continued walking towards Ajax. Ajax used his demon w skill with his right hand from time to time while killing the demon servants and it was very effective in killing them. So, the first thing that the demon general did after showing himself was to seal his right and slowly thought of torturing him. Edmond, Udo, and Darbaudr were busy fighting with the three elite demon generals and the nine young cultivators were surrounded by many mutated demon servants and demon generals making it impossible to leave their nine-men formation. "All your friends and guardians are fully upied and can''te to save you. So, you better prepare yourself for my torture...Hehe," The demon general liked topletely destroy all the hope in his opponent and wanted to mentally breakdown him. He takes pleasure from it. Although it never failed in his entire life, Ajax was not a normal 15-year-old young man as he had many trumps cards in his sleeves that could save him. ''Dream on¡­Haha,'' Ajax startedughing all of a sudden. ''Swoosh'' Amidst hisughing Ajax disappeared from his ce and using his level 2 cloud steps, he moved very fast that the demon general barely reacted to his sudden movements. ''Huh?'' The demon general hurriedly turned back as he sensed Ajax was behind him. ''Bloodlust spear turned into Heaven''s destroyer,'' With the help of the cloud steps, he continuously changed his position making it impossible for the demon general to pinpoint his exact location. Amidst his zig-zag movement, he summoned his bloodlust spear, and without wasting any time, he turned it into heaven''s destroyer. "Found you," Initially, the demon general let down his guard as he thought Ajax didn''t have any strength left to move. So, he was unable to find the exact location of Ajax; however, after observing his surroundings he finally found Ajax with a long shining spear in his hand. "Thinking of killing me using a high-level heaven grade weapon? Haha," The demon generalughed on the surface but secretly became anxious inside his heart as he felt a bad premonition from that white shining spear in Ajax''s hands. ''Swoosh'' Ajax finally stopped when the demon general found his location and threw the heaven''s destroyer spear at him. "Huh? Why did he throw it from that fat?" When the demon general saw Ajax throw the spear from a long distance, the anxiousness in his heart disappeared without a trace and casually moved sideways and dodged the spear. "What a waste of such a high-level heaven grade weapon in the hands of a human," the demon general shook his head and continued, " But don''t worry after killing you, I will take good care of your spear...Haha¡­.." ''Puchhi..'' Amidst his loudughing, something pierced from his back and came out of his chest. "Maybe in your next life...Haha," Ajax smiled at the spear that waspletely covered in ck blood that floated towards him. ''How?'' This was the final word that the demon general muttered before the life in his eyes faded away. ''Ding, Sessfully killed a level 1 demon general No essence of nature is gained. ''Ding, The second target''s progress is increased by a count of 5 demon servants. As usual two system notifications appeared in front of him informing him about the kill and progress for the second target in the bonus mission. "What? Only progressed by 5 demon servants?" Ajax felt disappointed as he had expected that the demon general would give him at least 10 count in the progress for the second target. ''I wasted some units of the essence of nature in using the cloud steps...sigh,'' Another reason for his disappointment was that he had spent some essence of nature. ''I will stop using the essence of nature until Iplete the second target,'' He finally decided to not use any essence of nature and wanted to keep the remaining few units of the essence of nature for emergency purposes. Ding, The system found a book about hidden weapons on the demon general. Do you want to pick it? All of a sudden, the system sent another notification that made Ajax''s previous disappointment decrease a little bit. "Huh? A book about hidden weapons. Sounds cool," Ajax nodded his head and excitedly went towards the dead body of the demon general. Ajax didn''t mind the ck blood and pungent smelling from the demon general''s dead body and searched for that book. There was no space ring on the demon general''s fingers, so Ajax had to search for that book inside the demon general''s clothes. ''Huh? A space ring? Why did he hide it inside his clothes?'' After searching for a while, Ajax found a pitch-ck coloured space ring inside the demon general''s clothes that made him surprised as he wondered why would anyone store a space ring inside his clothes? ''Unless there is something important inside the space ring,'' Ajax didn''t think much beforeing to this conclusion and excitedly moved away from the dead body and checked inside the space ring. Since the owner of the space ring had died, the seal on it would disappear automatically. So, Ajax hurriedly checked the things inside the space ring. "What the heck!" After seeing the insides of the space ring, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen inside it. Chapter 473: Angry Darbaudr

473 Angry Darbaudr

However, inside of this 100 cubic meters space, there were two boxes. One was small and another one was big. So, when Ajax saw only two boxes inside the space ring, all his previous excitement had gone into vain, and casually took the small box out of the space ring. ''This looks nothing special from the appearance and I think, I know what will be inside it,'' The small box in Ajax''s hands looked very simple and he already guessed what would be inside this box. ''Ding, Found a book about theplete knowledge of hidden weapons. Do you want to learn it? As soon as he touched the book, he got a notification from the system that made him nod his head and agreed, ''Yes.'' ''Ding, The host needs to pay 10000 units of the essence of nature to instantly gain theplete knowledge that is stored inside this book. Do you want to learn it? Just like always, the system gave him a twist by asking him to pay an insane amount of essence of nature. ''Sigh..you must be joking with me, right? Where can I get that much essence of nature when my spirit consciousness could hold no more than 8500 units of the essence of nature,'' Ajax sighed and asked the system to give him an exnation. ''Ding, The host can learn the knowledge about hidden weapons from the book and can reduce the cost required to learn theplete knowledge about the hidden weapons. "Now, it is good. Can I also reduce the cost required to upgrade my main cultivation technique and mysterious spirit cultivation technique?" When he saw the new notification sent by the system, he felt it was a good thing and asked the system about his other techniques that required the same amount of essence of nature to upgrade them to the next level. His main cultivation technique ''Heaven and Earth elemental refining technique'' and ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' required 10000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade it to level 3. ''Ding, It is possible but the host needs to gainprehension of them to reduce the cost required to upgrade them. Note:- Depending on the amount ofprehension, the cost of the essence of nature is reduced. ''Huh? I need aprehension of them. That''s difficult but still, it is better than nothing. From now on, I need to search forprehension fruits and pills,'' Ajax nodded his head and was satisfied with the system''s reply and thought about searching for the fruits and pills that could help him increase hisprehension speed. ''I will try learning it manually then,'' Ajax closed, tossed the book into his ring, and threw the box aside before taking out the big box from the space ring. Observing his surroundings, Ajax opened the box. ''Haha¡­'' From small hidden needles to hidden bombs, everything was orderly ced inside the box. ''With these hidden weapons I have another trump card in my hands; however, only after knowing the techniques of how to use these hidden weapons can I rely on them,'' Ajax''s decided to learn the knowledge about hidden weapons from the book and reduce the cost requirement before upgrading it with the essence of nature. Finally, he felt satisfied with the essence of nature he used in killing the demon general. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check in the quest tab. Just as he felt content with the gains he got from killing the demon general, he received a system notification about a new mission. ''What mission did I get this time?'' As he waspletely surrounded by many things, he was unable to guess the mission and hurriedly opened his quest tab to check the mission. In the quest tab, there were many missions that were already in progression like conquering the Shixatao wilds, Unseal the Barbarian''s spirit consciousness, and bonus mission. Aside from that, there was a new mission below the bonus mission and Ajax focused on it. ''Ding, Mission:- Dy the demon army. Danger rating:- A Rewards:- Special reward box Description:- Dy the first batch of demon army from going out of the cursed wilderness for a time period of 15 minutes without the help of your followers; however, the host can use his summons. Note:- The rewards will be increased for dying for more than 15 minutes. With every additional five minutes, the rewards will be increased. Warning:- Although the demon servants only attack when you are on their way, stopping an entire demon army will possibly bring ire from all the demon servants and the demon army''s first target will be changed to you. Soon the mission details appeared in front of his and he casually went through all the information on the holographic screen. ''Nice rewardes with a high danger rating,'' Ajax smiled as he knew that for greater rewards he had toplete some hard tasks. ''Dying for 15 minutes looks easy but it is definitely not an easy thing to do. However, I will try my best inpleting it,'' Ajax wanted to move towards the first batch of the demon army, which had long left them from the beginning; however, he was stopped by Edmond, and then the second batch of the demon army came and he forgot about that. Now, once again he remembered about the first batch of the demon army and decided to move towards them. ''I should stop them from exiting the cursed wilderness,'' Ajax checked his surroundings where everyone was busy with their own fighting. ''Darbaudr, I am going out for a bit, say something when Captain Edmond and others ask about me,'' Ajax informed Darbaudr through the voice transmission before rushing towards in the direction of the first batch of the demon army. ''Wait, young master¡­...'' ''Swoosh'' ''Dang'' Before Darbaudr could say anything, his opponent, a level 4 elite demon general attacked him and made it impossible for him to contact his young master. ''Damn you, can''t you just let me talk with my young master,'' Darbaudr immediately became angry for interrupting him when he was trying to ask where his young master was actually going. When Darbaudr became angry his light brown coloured body turned into a red colour and a heavy pressure emitted from his body made the demon servants who were in a distance copse onto their knees. ''What is that power?'' ''How did he be that powerful all of a sudden?'' Edmond and Udo also felt a huge wave of energy hit them; however, they were powerful enough to withstand that pressure and paused their battles for a second before looking at the angry barbarian. ''Udo, stop fighting with your questions with him; I don''t want any mishaps in my n. Do you understand?'' Edmond knew about the war of words between Udo and Darbaudr, so he seriously warned Udo through the voice transmission after seeing the angry form of the barbarian. Udo nodded his head with a slight dissatisfaction on his face. ''Good,'' Soon, both Edmond and Udo resumed their battles with the respective demon generals. Chapter 474: Ajaxs army

474 Ajax''s army

Ajax rushed towards the first batch of the demon army at his fastest speed without using the level 2 cloud steps. Since using the cloud steps burn his essence of nature, he could only run without it. ''Once I reach there, I have to kill the remaining demon servants toplete the target and gain two more minor realms in the spirit cultivation,'' Even though he knew that travelling there would waste some of his time, he thought it was worth it as he couldplete two missions at one shot. Also, he left his shadow clone behind as it could kill some demon servants in the second batch of the demon army and by the time he reached the first batch, the second target would progress by more than 10 counts. All of a sudden, Ajax halted in his tracks before looking at his surroundings and calmly said, "You cane out now." Ajax talked into a distance where there was no one. "Hahaha¡­.not bad, brat," Seemingly out of nowhere, a level 5 demon general appeared in that direction and praised Ajax with a loudugh. Just like any other demon general, he was nothing different except for the horns on his head were a little shorter than most of the generals Ajax had seen till now. "I don''t have time to waste here. If you want to fight, thene at me with all your might," Ajax didn''t have any fear when he looked at the demon general in front of him as he still had Heaven''s destroyer spear in his hand. "No no no...I am not here to fight you," the demon general shook his head and with an amiable expression on his face, he continued, "You have something I want. As long as you give it to me, I will not bother you anymore." Hearing the demon general''s words, Ajax raised his brows and with a confused expression on his face he asked the demon general, "And what that might be?" "It is the space ring you have taken from the demon general who was killed just a while ago. It has something I need for a long time," the demon general maintained the calm smile on his face as he spoke with Ajax. "Sorry, I can''t give it to you. I have urgent work to do now. So, see youter," With that, Ajax turned around to run towards the first batch of the demon army. As he was running out of time, he didn''t want to waste any time with the demon general. "Sigh...I think I don''t have any other chance now," The demon general sighed when he heard Ajax''s reply before saying, "Kill him." As soon as he said that, Ajax waspletely surrounded by 10 mutant demon servants and 30 demon servants who appeared from all the directions. These 30 demon servants looked different than the demon servants in the demon army as though they had rational thinking. "Looks like you havee here with full preparation...Haha," "Of course, I have seen many humans who only give me something I want in a hard way rather than an easy way," The demon general was impressed by Ajax''s fearlessness even when he was surrounded by a group of demons and still had guts to talk with him. "You are not the only one who has a n and sub-ordinates," Ajax''s smirked as he continued, "Come out everyone." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said that, various lights came out of Ajax and formed into elemental spirits and spirit beasts that surrounded the demons which surrounded him. Except for Necros, who was still healing his old wounds, every elemental spirit was summoned along with all the contracted spirit beasts in his inner world. Each and every one of Ajax''s elemental spirit and spirit beasts had gained some kind of enlightenment in the five elemental world and after entering into the inner world, they converted that into their cultivation and increased their strengths. Volcanis and Bane improved a lot and only an inch away from reaching the Elemental spirit general realm. Spirus, it, Nite and Dabrus progressed a lot and reached the peak, elemental spiritmander, as their cultivation was the lowest. His second auxiliary elemental spirit Cerauno could be considered as the biggest winner in his cultivation progress from the trip to the five elemental world as he had reached the level 8 in the elite elemental spiritmander realm after absorbing the lightning from the tribtions. As for the spirit beasts, he had four rank 5 spirit beasts that he captured in the five elemental world and after he broke through to the elitemander realm, their cultivation had increased to rank 5. The other spirit beasts, except for the small golden bear king, all were in rank 4. "What? You are a summoner? But how can you summon different types of elemental spirits?" The demon general was shocked to see the summons that surrounded his minions and muttered some questions to himself. "Red kitty, ck kitty, Lynx and Monkey, go and show your strength to that demon general and as for others, take care of the demon servants" Ajax calmly ordered all the rank 5 spirit beasts to attack the demon general and ordered his other summons to take care of the demon servants. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' All the rank 5 spirit beasts rushed towards the demon general and started ying with him. ''As for me, I willplete my second target of the bonus mission, Haha'' Ajax smiled as he eyes the 10 mutated demon servants. Each mutated demon servant would give him 5 count progress in the mission. So, from 10 mutated demon servants, he could get 50 count progress and he could almostplete the mission with one or two demon servants missing. ''I will kill some demon servants along with the mutated ones and I can easilyplete the second target,'' With that thought, he threw his heaven''s destroyer spear at a mutated demon servant and it pierced through him and killed the two other demon servants behind him giving a total 7 count increment in the target. ''Ding, Killed a mutated demon servant ''Ding, Killed a normal demon servant . . He didn''t waste any time before taking out his inheritance sword and shed it at another mutated demon servant. He recalled his spear and along with the inheritance sword, he killed the demon servants and mutated demon servants around him while using his weapon daos. No one in Ajax''s team took the fight seriously as they knew it would be an over-kill to use their full strengths and casually yed with the demon servants. Twilight casually used his dragon w and yed with a couple of normal demon servants, Ghost, with his fast movements, jumped from one demon servant to another as Ajax ordered them not to kill many demon servants as he needed them to increase the count for the target. ''I can finish this target in a few moments...Haha,'' Ajax checked the progress bar for his second target and smiled. Chapter 475: Level 8 spirit commander

475 Level 8 spiritmander

''Nevertheless, I need to stop the first batch of the demon army,'' Ajax never forgot about the other mission he had received from the system. Within no time, all the mutated demon servants and normal demon servants around Ajax werepletely killed by him and his summons. ''I think, I didn''t have any use to summon everyone,'' Ajax looked at the elemental spirits that were silently watching the fight. Earlier, when he was giving orders to his summons, he asked his elemental spirit not to attack anyone and keep an eye on him for any surprised sneak attacks. But from beginning to end, there was not even one chance for them to shine and bitterly looked at Ajax. "Stop looking like that. This time, there are only 40 demon servants but don''t worry, there is a huge army waiting for us," Ajax consoled them by informing them about the first batch of the demon army. When they heard that, Volcanis and other elemental spirits bitter expressions changed into a happy one and they were eagerly waiting to rush there immediately. ''Puchii'' Nodding his head, Ajax pierced his spear, which turned back to blood-red colour into a mutated demon servant andpletely cleared the demon servants around him. ''Ding, Killed a mutated demon servant. No essence of nature gained. The second target is progressed by a count of 5. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the second target of the bonus mission. ''Ding, Increasing the host''s spirit cultivation by 2 minor realms. As soon as he took out his bloodlust spear from the body of the mutated demon servant, he received a series of system notifications. ''Aarghh'' However, before he could feel happy about thepletion of the second target and the rewards he gained from it, a sudden pain which was familiar, came from his spirit consciousness. Ajax just touched the area below his chest and endured the pain from the forcefully increasing his spirit consciousness and waited until the pain subsided. However, the painsted for much longer than he had expected becausepared tost time, he was breaking through two minor realms in his spirit cultivation. Nevertheless, he endured it for a few more minutes. "Noo..." As Ajax was busy enduring the pain he was getting from levelling up in his spirit cultivation, he heard the demon general''s final shout before he dropped dead without much suspense. ''Ding, Killed a demon general. No essence of nature gained. Along with that system notification, the pain from the spirit consciousness came to an end and heid on the ground while breathing heavily. Congrattions to the host for reaching level 8 of the spiritmander realm. ''What a relief!'' After suffering great pain and increasing the cultivation, there was a feeling for Ajax and he liked that feeling which he could not describe in words. While he was enjoying the feeling after the breakthrough all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts surrounded him and looked at him in confusion. Because they didn''t understand why their master copsed onto the ground all of a sudden and why he was happy in another second. "Huh?" Ajax looked at their confusion and shook his head. "Everyone let''s go and stop the demon army from leaving the cursed wilderness," Even though he liked the feeling after the breakthrough, he knew he didn''t have much time to waste and had to dy the demon army. "Yayy" "Roarr" All elemental spirits and spirit beasts were excited and shouted out loud. ''Return,'' Before they couldplete their excited shouts, Ajax simply summoned them back into his inner world leaving the only Twilight behind. "Twilight, let''s go," Ajax quickly mounted it before pointing his finger in the direction of the demon army. ''Roar'' Twilight gave a ferocious roar and excitedly flew towards that direction. ''Everyone calm down. Once we reach the demon army, I will summon you again,'' While twilight was speedily flying, Ajax checked into his inner world and calmed them. When they heard his words, they calmed down and waited for Ajax to summon them. Every summons under Ajax''s control loves fighting except for Spirus. So, when they stayed in the inner world for a longer time, they got bored with increasing their strength which they never used outside the inner world. So, they were really excited and waited for the fight with the demon army. "I should do this often and let my summons run wild. It feels so good," Ajax thought back to the expression on the demon general''s face when he had summoned his summons and felt good. He wanted to do that quite often from now on. ''But, I am still not strong enough to protect myself from those sects and families,'' However, he quickly rejected his thought. Even though he had quite an army but they were not powerful enough to go against any of the top sects or families. And if he summons his army, he had to kill his opponent at any cost because if he escapes and spread information about him being able to summon different elemental spirits then he would be the target for everyone for his secrets. ''So, you continue to enjoy that feeling, I have to be strong as soon as possible,'' Ajax clenched his hands into a fist and looked forward to his future missions. ...¡­.. As Ajax was flying on Twilight towards the demon army, back at the ce where the portal was connected to the demon world, Edmond and others were intensely fighting with the demons. "Okay then, you have improved a lot but your bad luck I improved more than you," Edmond looked at the elite demon general with a single horn and stored his huge sword back into his space ring. They have been fighting with each other for a while now and Edmond already got bored with the fight. So, he thought of a n to finish the fight as soon as possible. "Huh? Just stop bluffing, we both have simr strength," the elite demon general angrily looked at Edmond and shouted as he rushed towards him. ''Now is the right time to finish him off,'' While rushing he thought in his head as he saw there was no sword in Edmond''s hands. "I already wasted enough time talking with you. Now I will kill you," Edmond calmly looked at the iing elite demon general and muttered in a low voice before taking out his family''s treasured sword and rushed at him. ''What?'' The elite demon general didn''t expect Edmond to take out another sword, which gave a bad premonition in his head and wanted to stop. ''Puchii'' ''Aargh'' However, before he could stop, the crystal sword already prated into his chest. "This is for the innocent residents of that small town, you have killed," Edmond whispered into the demon general''s ears before slowly taking the sword out of his body. As soon as he took out the sword from his body, the demon general''s body turned into ashes and faded into the air. ''Phew...finally I was able to take one revenge and still one more to go,'' Edmond heaved a sigh of relief and thought in his head. Chapter 476: Demon Chief

476 Demon Chief

''I need just a little more time and I can finallyplete it too,'' Edmond silently thought in his head before looking at Udo and Darbaudr. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' At the same time, both Udo and Darbaudr finished their opponents after an intense fight before walking towards Edmond. "Should we clear some more elite demon generals?" Darbaudr was excited after killing an elite demon general as he had bad blood with the demon race. The more elite demon generals he kills, the more satisfaction he gets and when he kills the twelfth demon king''s apostle, who killed his entire tribe and forcefully sent him to this Zrochester province by sealing his strength he would bepletely satisfied. Also killing demon servants didn''t satisfy him at all as they were just cannon fodder and it won''t affect the demon world by killing them. So, he was excited to kill as many elite demon generals as possible. "Haha¡­," Just after Darbaudr asked Edmond, an eerieugh came from the ck portal and by the time they knew what was happening, a group of elite demon generals came out of the portal and surrounded Edmond, Udo and Darbaudr. "Everyone, these three must be the reason why our demon generals and elite demon generals from the previous two batches are getting killed as soon as theye out of the portal. Let''s kill them and destroy the mercenary guild," A level 8 elite demon general looked at the three and ordered the 12 elite demon generals who had the strength levels from level 1 to level 6. "Yes, Chief," All the 12 elite demon generals nodded their head and eyed Edmond and others with a hateful gaze. Humans and Demons were enemies by nature and hated one another to the core. "By the chief, what about those kids," Among the 12 demon generals group, one of them looked at the young cultivators, who were busy fighting with the mutated demon servants and normal demon servants. "Let them y for a while, I have another thing to do before that," The Demon chief looked at the elite demon general, who was ying dead and chuckled. "Oh" All the elite demon generals followed his gaze and mysteriously smiled before rushing towards Edmond and others. ''Damn it, why did this many elite demon generals arrive all of sudden,'' Edmond became anxious when he looked at the dozen elite demon generals that were rushing towards them. ''Also, where are the guild master and little sister? Why haven''t they arrived yet?'' At the same time, he thought about the paper cranes he had sent earlier. His thoughts were running at a lightning speed and finally concluded, ''If worstes to worst, I will have to use that move.'' Behind him, Udo and Darbaudr also didn''t show any fear on their faces and rushed at the demons. While they were fighting, the chief of the elite demon generals walked towards the mutant elite demon general. ''Did he noticed my n,'' ''Why is he smiling while looking at me,'' ''I need to get out of here,'' The elite demon general who boosted his strength, had many thoughts in his mind when he saw the Demon chief. ''I can''t win against him,'' he continued to think in his mind before finally standing up from the ground and warily looked at the demon chief. "What? He is alive until now?" Udo gasped when he saw the previously killed elite demon general standing up with almost no injuries on his body. "Not only that, his strength seemed to have increased more than us," Darbaudr checked his strength which had almost reached the level 7 of the elite general realm. ''Puchii'' "Damn it. How can I be this careless," Edmond killed a level 1 elite demon general and cursed himself for being careless. "Haha...is not your fault though. It is his method that is very powerful and he can increase his strength from his death. Every time you kill him, he will be powerful," the demon chiefughed at Edmond and calmly exined the mysterious technique of the elite demon general. ''How can these demons are gaining more and more powerful techniques? If this is continued, then the human race will bepletely invaded by them,'' Edmond''s heart started worrying about the future of the human race. Even though he had some bad blood between some of the humans, that didn''t mean he wanted the entire human race to be invaded by the demons. ''I shouldplete my revenge and start preparations for the war with the demons,'' Edmond thought in his head and continued fighting the elite demon generals. "You did your job just as you are instructed. Now it''s time for us to make use of it," Demon chief smiled at the elite demon general before extending his hand. "Wait. So, you are from the organisation. Thank god, I got scared a little when you wereing towards me earlier," The elite demon general heaved a sigh of relief before extending his hand for a handshake. "Yes, we are from the same organization; however, you are a servants'' section in that organization whereas I belong to the leaders'' section of that organization," As their hands met, Demon chief''s calm smile turned into an evil one that made the elite demon general didn''t understand what was happening before his body started burning with a ck me. "Hey, what are you doing? Didn''t I follow what you asked me to do?" The elite demon general anxiously asked while trying to take back his hand; however, no matter how hard he tried, he could not take back his hand. Finally, after struggling for some time, he managed to pull back his hand but as soon as he freed his hand from the demon chief''s hands, the intensity of the ck fire on his body increased all of a sudden. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' His painful shouts resounded in the surroundings that made all of those who were instantly fighting stopped for a moment to look in his direction. Even when his body waspletely burned by the ck fire, he still didn''t understand the exact reason for his death. However, after his body waspletely burnt by the ck fire, it slowly came out of the ashes and hovered in front of the demon chief. ''By the order of the burning me, split into 100 parts and entered into 100 mutated demon servants,'' The demon chief did some mysterious sign with his hands before lightly touching the ck fire in front of him. As soon as he did that, the ck fire which was hovering in front of him shook a little before it separated into 100 small parts and entered into many mutated demon servants in the demon army. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, around 100 mutated demon servants jumped out of the demon army and angrily looked at young cultivators who were fighting at the other end of the demon army. Chapter 477: Rulf comes to the rescue

477 Rulfes to the rescue

''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, those 100 mutated demon servants started shouting in pain. At the same time, their strength started to increase from the peak elitemander realm and entered the level 1 general realm. However, it didn''t stop there and continued to increase one level after another and finally stopped at level 5 of the demon general realm. ''Hahah¡­.'' As soon as the increase in their strengths stopped, all of them startedughing with their rough voice and looking at the young cultivators in front of them, they licked their lips as though they were looking at some fine delicacies. "What? How did they be that powerful all of a sudden?" When he looked at the 100 mutated demon servants turn into the level 5 demon generals, he was shocked and let his guard down. ''Puchii'' ''Aargh'' As soon as he let his guard down, a spear pierced into his left shoulder that made him shout in pain. "Damn you, you have sessfully made me angry," ''Kacha'' Edmond''s face became red with the anger and with his crystal sword, he broke the spear that pierced into his left shoulder. ''Punch'' ''Kacha'' After breaking the spear, he punched the elite demon general on his chest and broke his ck armour. ''Puchii'' However, he still could not kill that elite demon general in a single punch, so he used his crystal sword to sh at him and sessfully killed him. "Huh? Not bad, not bad. You have some great battle prowess," the demon chief was surprised by Edmond''s strength and nodded his head before continuing, "But the bad thing is you will die today." "Finish all the humans here and move towards the mercenary guild," The demon chief moved towards Edmond before ordering all the elite demon generals and 100 mutated demon servants, who received a boost in their strengths. ''Damn it, finally, he is going to make a move,'' When he looked at the demon chief moving towards him, Edmond looked anxious as he knew he was an opponent that he could not defeat that easily. ''Time to finally use him...Hehe,'' However, all of a sudden his anxiousness turned into excitement as this would be his first time using his secret trump card. "You seem very happy. Looks like you have be crazy after thinking about your death in my hands," the demon chief was very confident in killing Edmond, so he mocked Edmond forughing at a time like this. "Let''s see who is crazy," Edmond''s smile grew, even more, when the demon chief came closer to him. "Looks like I came at the right time...Haha," The neer was a middle-aged man in his early thirties with a long sword behind him. Looking at the sudden appearance of a human, the demon chief halted in his tracks and he secretly gauged his strength. "Huh? Rulf?" He was none other than Rulf, the follower of the guild master. "Huh? You look disappointed with my arrival?" Rulf became dissatisfied with the look on Edmond''s face and said, "Since you are disappointed, I will leave from here then." Rulf smiled after finishing his sentence and hoped that Edmond would beg him to stay back and help him. "Who asked for your help, anyway. If you want to go back, then no will stop you. I only want the guild master''s help," However, Edmond didn''t beg Rulf as he expected; instead, he was simply asked to leave from here. ''Damn you, Edmond. Why do you always maintain that arrogant look as though you are more powerful than me,'' Rulf cursed Edmond for a while before saying, "The guild master asked me to help you. Since you are not a match of this demon, I will take care of him. You go and help those young cultivators." Nevertheless, he decided to help Edmond as it was the guild master''s order and in his whole life, he never once disobeyed the old man. "Hehe...I know you can''t abandon your duties," Edmond cunningly smiled before rushing towards the 100 mutated demon servants who surrounded his nine adopted children and Justice. However, before he could reach them, he was stopped by the earlier elite demon generals. "Udo, Darbaudr, let''s kill them as soon as possible," Edmond knew that he could help his children without killing these elite demon generals, so he asked Udo and Darbaudr to kill them as soon as possible. Soon, Edmond and others started fighting the elite demon generals. "You are only at level 7 of the elite general realm, you don''t stand a chance against me. So, why do you bother about others when you''re not a match for me?" The demon chief only worried for a moment with the sudden appearance of Rulf; however, when he saw his cultivation was only at level 7 of the elite demon general realm, he stopped worried and asked Rulf about it. "Who said I am not a match for you?" Rulf shook his head as he said that and all of a sudden he disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of the demon chief. ''sh'' Without wasting any time, he shed his thin long sword at the demon chief. ''Huh? He is very fast,'' the demon chief was a little slow in dodging the sh and it made a small cut on his face. "Damn you sneak human, I will kill you for injuring my face," the demon chief became angry all of a sudden and immediately took out a short sword from his waist and shed back at Rulf. "You are too slow, Demon," Rulf smiled when he saw the demon chief''s attack and disappeared from the front and appeared behind him before shing on his back. ''Aargh'' ''You sneak pest, just see how I will kill you,'' Demon chief sessfully became angry after getting shed by Rulf a couple of times and he distanced himself from Rulf before closing his eyes and muttered something in a low voice. "I will not give a chance for you to be powerful," Rulf was careful and hurriedly moved towards the demon chief and shed his long sword at him. "Finally, I caught you," Just when Rulf''s long sword was about to touch him, a tree root came out of the ground and binded Rulf''s movements and made him immobile. "Who said I needed time to boost my strength? I am already more powerful than you. It''s just that you have more speed than me and I needed to use this trick to catch you," The demon chiefughed and caught Rulf''s neck. "Anyst thing, do you want to say before you die?" The demon chief didn''t exert force and asked for hisst words. "Yes, I have something to say," Rulf looked calm even in a situation like that and nodded his head while looking at the demon chief. Chapter 478: Reinforcements

478 Reinforcements

"Always watch your back while you are in a fight," Rulf smirked at the demon chief; however, he didn''t even move his finger. "What?" The demon chief became surprised at his words and looked behind him only to see no one. ''Puchhi'' Just when he turned back to check what was behind him, a long sword pierced through the demon chief''s chest ''Aarghh'' The demon chief howled in pain and hurriedly jumped backwards to remove the long sword from his chest. Before the demon chief pulled back the long and thin sword from his chest, it came out of his body on its own and cut the roots that binded Rulf. "The thing I wanted to say is when the enemy is in your hands, don''t speak non-sense with him¡­..," After freeing himself from the root bindings, Rulf mocked the demon chief before he disappeared from his ce and appeared behind him. ''Pierce'' ''sh'' ''Thud'' "and kill him immediately like this," Hepleted his previous mocked after he pierced his sword into the demon chief''s body before shing the demon chief''s body into two parts. The demon chief didn''t even have the time to howl in pain as his body was cut into the two parts by the Rulf. Even after he died, his face still had a raged expression on his face because he was killed by a human, who had less strength than him. What''s more, he was fooled by that human before he was killed and he still regretted not killing him when had the chance. However, there was no medicine for regret and in the end, he had lost his life. ''Phew...this one is a tough one and my essence of nature is emptied with that one move,'' After killing the demon chief, Rulf copsed onto the ground and heaved a sigh of relief when he gambled his life for using one of his secret techniques. "Edmond, you can hold onto for a while, right? I don''t have any essence of nature in my spirit consciousness. I want to recover it," Rulf looked at Edmond and asked him to try his best. "Idiot, your essence of nature emptied after using one a couple of moves? What a waste!" Edmond shook his head and continued, "We can manage these elite demon generals for a while; however, the young ones are in danger," Edmond replied to Rulf while fighting with two elite demon generals at once. "I need at least five minutes to recover; otherwise, even if I went into the fight now, I will die for nothing," Rulf bitterly shook his head and said it was impossible for him to fight now. "Sigh...okay then. Go towards that elemental spirit and recover your strength for only five minutes before joining the fight," Edmond sighed and finally gave in and asked him to enter the Earth shield created by it. After the death of their chief, the morale of the elite demon generals lowered and their battles prowess were lowered which put Edmond and others in an advantageous position. As for Rulf, he followed Edmond''s earlier finger direction and saw an earth elemental spirit and an unconscious man beside the elemental spirit. Without wasting any time, he entered the earth shield and sat beside it before entering into deep mediation. Before they even start fighting with the second batch of the demon army, Ajax summoned it to protect his senior brother Levi with his earth shield which could withstand even an all-out attack from a general realm cultivator. Although he knew it was not much of a help against the elite demon general realms cultivators, he didn''t want to leave his senior brother without any care. So, he summoned it to take care of him. ''Just wait for five minutes,'' The fight on Edmond''s side had be somewhat easier but that doesn''t mean he could leave his position and help the young cultivators and on the other side, the young cultivators were having a hard time and were barely manage to defend themselves from the attacks of the 100 mutated demon servants with level 5 demon general cultivation. "Shall we y for some more time or end it already?" "Since the chief had already died and there is no one left to control us, so of course we can y as much as we want with them," If they want, those mutated demon servants could kill the nine young cultivators and justice; however, they finally gained freedom with the death of the demon chief and they want to enjoy torturing these young cultivators even more. "So, what are we waiting for, let''s enjoy to our heart''s content," soon those mutated demon generals came to a conclusion and started torturing the young cultivators, who looked very exhausted from continuously fighting the demons for a while now. ''Damn it, this is all because of carelessness,'' Edmond nced at those young cultivators and looking at them made his heartache and thought, ''I should stop holding back. Come o¡­.,'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Just as he was about to use his final trump card to save his adopted children, Edmond saw a group of familiar silhouettes appear in front of those mutated demon servants and killed a dozen of them in a fraction of seconds. ''Thud thud'' The heads of those mutated demon servants rolled in the air and their bodies fell to the ground with a ''thud'' sound. "Big brother, focus on your fight. I will take care of these mutated demon servants," Ady in her early thirties looked at Edmond and gave him an assurance that she would protect his adopted children. "Thanks, Blood rose," Edmond nodded his head before continuing his fight with the elite demon generals. The neers were none other than Blood rose and her mercenary squad members. The moment she received the blue-coloured paper crane, Blood rose was very anxious and rushed towards this direction at her fastest speed. ''Sigh...why don''t you call me a little sister like you used to call in the past before that event,'' When she heard Edmond''s way of addressing her, she felt a little sad; however, she shook her head and continued killing the mutated demon servants with her long whip. ''Whip'' ''Aargh'' Every time, she whipped, more than a couple of demon servants were killed and along with her squad, she continued a massacre on the 100 mutated demon servants. ...¡­ "Finally, I can see the first batch of the demon army," While everyone was fighting the second batch of the demon army, Ajax had finally caught up with the first batch of the demon army. "What the heck!" At the same?time, Ajax had noticed another problem and contacted the system, "System, how long it will take for the demon army to exit the cursed wilderness." Since he was on Twilight''s back, he could see the exit of the cursed wilderness. So, he immediately asked the system to calcte the time for the demon army to exit the cursed wilderness. Chapter 479: Third targe

479 Third targe

ording to the speed of the demon army, they can exit the cursed wilderness in five minutes. Without any dy, the system sent a notification informing him about a rough time. "What? Only five minutes," Ajax became anxious when he saw the time on the holographic screen and immediately shouted, "Twilight, fly faster, we don''t have much time left." He ordered the dragon to fly at its fastest speed and at the same time Ajax cursed, ''Damn it I can''t even use my Abyssal beast king''s bloodline with the little essence of nature in my spirit consciousness.'' Ajax was fighting without a gap and his essence of nature in his spirit consciousness was long emptied; however, afterpletion of the bonus mission, his spirit cultivation would be increased and he would gain some essence of nature with each breakthrough. He was using that little essence of nature for emergency purposes and only relied on his weapons and its daos to fight the demons. ''I just need a little help and I can not only stop the demon army but I will also kill the entire first batch of the demon army,'' Ajax muttered to himself while thinking about some help. However, except for his summons, he could not even take the help of his subordinates in stopping the first batch of the demon army. ''Ding, The bonus mission is updated. Please check. Just as he was thinking about how to stop the demon army with his low essence of nature, Ajax suddenly received a system notification that made his eyes lit up. The reason Ajax was still able to fight the demons was because of this bonus mission. Afterpletion of every target, his spirit cultivation increases; however, after thepletion of his second target, the system didn''t release another target which made him think that the bonus mission waspleted. After seeing the earlier system notification, Ajax could not help but be excited. ???Finally, the bonus mission is updated," Ajax hurriedly opened the quest tab to check what was the new target in the bonus mission. ''Ding, Bonus mission Third target:- Kill 10 demon generals and 100 demon servants. Note:- From now on every demon the host kills, it will be counted as only one. Reward:- Two minor realms increment in the host''s spirit cultivation. Soon the holographic screen appeared with the updated bonus mission details. ''Oh¡­ the third is good but the system must have sensed that I ampleting the targets very easily. So, it added the note,'' Ajax founded it funny and bitterly shook his head. It means from now on, any demons like demon servants or mutated demon servants, he killed the third target progress bar would only be increased by one. "At that time, I can finally use the stabilizing crystal to breakthrough into the elitemander realm and maintain the same cultivation in both the spirit and body cultivation...Haha," Although his thought a little too much about his future; however, these were not impossible things for him to aplish. In the five elemental world, he got a stabilising crystal which could bnce his both cultivations and maintain the same cultivation realms for both of them. Soon, Twilight crossed the demon army andnded in front of the demon army in order to stop them from exiting the cursed wilderness; however, all the demon servants didn''t even bother with the huge dragon in their way and marched towards it without any fear. ''That rage potion is greatly used by the demons and they didn''t even nce at the huge dragon in front of them,'' Ajax shook his head and thought about the rage potion that was consumed by the demon servants. "Everyone,e out and let them witness your true strength," Ajax didn''t waste time talking to a bunch of raged demon servants as he knew it would not work and directly summoned all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. "Roar," All the contract spirit beasts were greatly excited when they saw a group of enemies in front of them that their master wanted them to kill. So, they didn''t waste any time and rushed towards them and started killing them. ''I will let them taste my fires,'' Volcanis, who always loved fighting was also excited and with a snap of his fingers, a ck coloured me appeared at the end of his fingertips. ''Huh? Looks like he learned something from the second room in the battle tower,'' When Ajax saw the ck me in Volcanis hands, he was surprised and immediately thought about his fight in the battle tower. Although Volcanis had lost the fight with the hell Cerberus, he was very much satisfied with his fight against it and what''s more, he learned something from it and wanted to test it on the demon army. Bane, Nite and other elemental spirits also tried their best in fighting the demon servants. "Good," Looking at the massacre in front of him, Ajax was pretty much satisfied but only one thing bothered him. ''Only if I get the essence of nature from these kills, I would have fought without a stop,'' Ajax sighed at this as he could not get any essence of nature because of the bonus mission. "Anyway, I have to kill the demons and finish the third target as soon as possible and level up. Maybe, then I can use my bloodline andpletely kill the first batch of the demon army," Nheless, he took out his bloodlust spear and using the level 2 spear dao, he threw it as a group of the demon servants and killed more than 5 demon servants at once. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchii'' ''Ding, Killed 5 demon servants. No essence of nature is gained. ''Ding, Third target Demon servants:- 5/100 Demon generals:- 0/10 As usual two system notifications appeared informing about the kills and the progress for the third target. ''Killing 100 demon servants is not a problem for me; however, the problem is killing the demon generals, who were hiding in the demon army,'' While killing the demon servants, he thought about the sneaky demon generals, who were hiding in the demon army and always kept an alert look on his face. ''I need to finish this mission as soon as possible. So that I can have the strength to stop the demon army for more time than the required time that was mentioned in the mission,'' There were around 700-800 demons remaining in this first batch of the demon army from the initial more than 1000 demons and before he killed that many demons, he would bepletely exhausted. So, the best way to deal with them was toplete the third target and level up in his spirit cultivation. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' The fight between the demon army and Ajax''s army continued with great intensity that made not only his summons excited but Ajax was also excited. "If I kill you, the way for the demon army will be cleared," All of a sudden, Ajax heard an eerie voice behind him that made his hair raised all of a sudden. Chapter 480: Change of plans

480 Change of ns

''Damn these lowly demon servants, they can''t even withstand the side effects of the rage potion and blindly move towards the target and they don''t even stop to kill the humans that were killing them,'' A demon general with a huge scar on his face looked at the massacre done by Ajax and his summons and cursed the demon servants. ''And these other demon generals can''t even cooperate with me to kill the summoner kid,'' He also cursed his fellow demon generals who were too arrogant to cooperate with others that made himpletely furious. Even though that demon general was at level 6, he didn''t haveplete confidence in him to kill Ajax. ''My senses are saying that I can''t win against him if I fight face to face with him,'' He continued to think of a n to kill Ajax and waited for a chance to sneak up on him to kill in one hit. ''Now,'' Finally, after observing Ajax for some time, he found a chance to sneak up on him. "If I kill you, the way for the demon army will be cleared," Without wasting any time, he used his short sword and shed at Ajax. ''Shit, where did hee from. I don''t have time to dodge his attack,'' Even though Ajax was very careful he didn''t notice the enemy until he spoke. ''Damn it, am I going to die here without a chance toplete my revenge on the assassin sect and I still didn''t find where my friends are,'' He was in a very difficult position and didn''t have time to dodge. So, he could not help but mutter about his revenge and his friends. ''Swoosh'' However, just when the short sword was about to cut Ajax''s body into two, a small ck silhouette appeared in the space between Ajax and the demon general. Before the demon general could see what had appeared in front him, a ck coloured energy beam appeared from the silhouette''s mouth that decimated the entire demon general''s body into nothing. ''Ding, Killed a demon general No essence of nature gained. Ajax, who had his face looking in a straight direction was surprised to hear that notification and hurried turned back to see a small ck coloured fox. That''s right! It was none other than the three-eyed ghost fox. He used his recently awakened skill to teleport himself between Ajax and the demon general before using a dark beam at him. "Ghost?" Ajax was shocked to see the ghost fox as he didn''t expect he was saved by him. ''Swoosh'' ''No'' Before he could say anything, the ghost fox, which was in the mid-air, looked tired and starting to fall down. However, Ajax caught him and immediately checked his vitals. ''Phew'' Only after sensing that the ghost fox was just tired after using two powerful skills, he was able to heave a sigh of relief. "Now, you have sessfully angered me," Ajax looked was already pissed that a demon general sneaked upon him and he was about to be killed and when he saw that the demon army was still forcing their way towards the exit of the cursed wilderness, as though he and his summons were not even there. ''System, how much essence ofo nature is left in my spirit consciousness,'' He asked the system before throwing his spear at the demon servants and killing them. ''Ding, Around 2000 units of the essence of nature have left in the host''s spirit consciousness. The system instantly replied as it knew Ajax was nning something. ''Damn it. It is still not enough to use theher hog''s longhorn,'' Ajax cursed at his own luck as those 2000 units of the essence of nature were not of any use for it to use his trump cards. "I think I should use the stabilizing crystal even before Iplete the target. But that will decrease my body cultivation to the level 10 of the elitemander realm and the reward for the third target will be wasted," Before he couldplete his thought of using the stabilizing crystal to increase his spirit cultivation, he quickly rejected it without a moment of hesitation. All of sudden, when he looked at Cerauno, Ajax thought of something. ''System, if I merge with Cerauno and kill the demons, will it be counted into my third target?'' Ajax asked the system about his idea while continuously killing the demon servants all around him. ''Ding, No, it will not be counted into the target; however, it could help youplete your other mission. The system reply made Ajax fall into thinking and all of sudden, he thought about something again. ''That''s right! Why am I just wasting time on my bonus mission, as long as I dy them for 15 minutes I couldplete the main mission and I will get rewards from them and then I can slowlyplete the mission,'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt excited and looked at the exit of the cursed wilderness. The distance to the exit was gradually decreasing. So, Ajax didn''t waste any time before looking at the lighting elemental spirit, Cerauno. Since dying the demon army was an ''A'' danger rating mission, he would get far greater rewards than the little bonus mission. "Cerauno, merge," As soon as he said that, the lightning elemental spirit rushed towards him and entered into Ajax''s body. Along with that, Ajax''s body changed a little and he waspletely surrounded by lightning arcs that made him look like a lightning warrior. ''Let''s kill this bastard, Cerauno,'' ''Spears'' Ajax thought to himself before jumping into the middle of the demon army and made countless lighting spears using Cerauno weapon-making skill. ''Advanced Enchantment'' After forming the countless spears around him, Ajax increased the power of the spears he had just created with Ceruano''s level 2 Advanced enchantment. With that skill, the attack power of those lightning spears was increased by 70 percent. Ajax just wanted to make sure to kill the demon servant with a single strike. ''Go'' ''Swoosh'' ''swoosh'' With a thought, countless lightning spears pierced into the surrounding demon servants and mutated demon servants that were hiding in the demon army. ''Ding, Killed a demon general No essence of nature gained. ''Ding, Killed a demon general No essence of nature gained. .. .. .. ... The system notifications continuously rang in his head informing about his kills. Although he could mute those notifications, he was quite excited with those system notifications that he got after every kill which made his blood rise and thirst for more killing. "Volcanis, Bane, kill the demon servants in the front whereas I will cover the middle area with the same move I used earlier," After looking at the damage done by the long lightning spears, Ajax immediately order two of his strongest elemental spirits to kill the demon servants in the front row. ''We can do this,'' Ajax finally got full confidence inpleting the mission and thought in his head with a focused look on his face. Chapter 481: A Summoners Migh

481 A Summoner''s Migh

''Roar'' All of the spirit beasts that were fighting at various regions and stopped fighting and immediately rushed towards the front. ording to Ajax as long as they kill the first row of the demon servants continuously, they could dy the demon army for more than 15 minutes easily. ''Spears'' ''Advanced enchantment'' ''Go'' Ajax repeated the same move to kill another dozen of the demon servants. While his summons was attacking the front, he was clearing the middle section as he wanted to use his lightning spears at their fullest. Since it was an area of effect skill, he wanted to kill the demons all around him with them. That''s why he took the middle section of the demon army. As Ajax was continuously using the lightning spears to kill, all his elemental spirits and spirit beasts were using their powerful skills in attacking the demon servants. Twilight using its dragon''s rage, poison breath,?dragon w and some other powerful skill it had. ck yetis or monkey was using his brute strength to tear the demon servants into pieces. ck kitty and Red kitty used their high fire type skills to burn the demons to ashes and lynx used its lighting powers. Golden bear king along with his son was killing the demon servants as though they were a bunch of ants. Not only spirit beasts, but the elemental spirits were also fighting at their full strength. Volcanis hadpletely turned into mes from using his skill ''Inferno''; however, there was a small change in his mes. Instead of orange or red coloured mes, he was surrounded by pitch-ck mes. Amidst his attacks, a group of fire asteroids fall on the demon servants every once in a while. As for Bane, he had a calm expression on his face and in front of him, there was a five-coloured pearl. ''Spread'' As soon as Bane said that a green coloured gas was released from the five-coloured pearl and entered into the demon servants. It didn''t take much longer before they fell to the ground without any pained noise or anything. Seeing that, Bane smiled a little as though he was satisfied with the power of the five elemental poison orb in front of him. "Die, you sick bastard," As Bane was feeling satisfied with his killings, a group of mutated demon servants surrounded him and rushed at him in order to kill him before he could use that poison gas. ''Hehe'' However, Bane didn''t have any fear on his face; instead, he smirked and scoffed at those mutated demon servants that were rushing towards him. ''Viper'' ''Swoosh'' ''Poison scythe'' ''Puchhi'' ''Puchi'' ''Thud'' ''thud'' Bane summoned his poison snake and poison scythe. As soon as Viper summoned it bit a couple of mutated demon servants and injected its poison into them before returning back to Bane. At the same time, Bane casually swung his poison scythe using his level 3 scythe dao and?''way of poison'' and cut made simple cuts on the demon servants'' bodies. Although the cuts were not severe, the poison killed every one of them before falling to the ground. ''I haven''t used my poison breath for a long time. I wonder how strong it has be,'' Bane thought about his first skill and moved away from all of his teammates before using it. Since his poison breath skill was an area of effect skill and doesn''t differentiate a friend from foe, he moved away from Volcanis and others. ''Swoosh'' ''Thudd'' As soon as he used his skill, all of a sudden more than 20 demon servants from the 5th row of the demon army copsed after inhaling his poison breath. With the fall of those demon servants, the demon army''s marching was disturbed. ''As expected of an auxiliary elemental spirit,'' How could Ajax not notice the damage Bane had done to the demon army with his powerful skills. Not only Bane, but others were also killing the demon servants at their full power. After seeing them, Ajax''s motivation to summon his elemental spirit and spirit beasts to summon more often as it would help his summons to test their powers. ''At this rate, I can not onlyplete the man mission but I can evenpletely eradicate the demon army,'' With the help of his powerful summons, Ajax felt it was very easy to kill the 800 demons in the demon army. Oh right...it was only 600 now. Within ten minutes, Ajax and his summons killed more than 200 demon servants and they were still not that exhausted and could continued for another ten minutes. "Everyone, five more minutes to go. As long as we stop the demon army for another 5 min, theter fight will be very easy," Ajax motivated his summons to kill more demon servants even more fiercely while he was also doing the same. ''Are there no demon generals remaining in this army?'' Ajax continued to kill the demon servants and thought about the lurking demon generals. ''Anyway, as long as they don''te out for another five minutes, everything will be fine,'' Ajax didn''t bother about the demon generals that feared him and his summons and just waited for him and his summons to exhaust their essence of nature. ''Puchii'' ''Roar'' ''Kacha'' Without any unexpected events, another five minutes were passed with their continuous killing. In the five minutes, they killed more than 150 demons from the demon army and once again reduced the size of the demon army. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for dying the demon army for 15 minutes. Do you want to end the mission now? Or do you want to continue to dy the demon army to get extra rewards? Finally, Ajax got a system notification exining him about thepletion of the mission and asked him for his choice. "Finally, I made it...Haha," When Ajax saw the much-awaited system notification, he could not help but loudlyugh while looking at the holographic screen in front of him. ... At the ck portal in the middle section of the cursed wilderness, ''Phew..'' "Finally killed everyst one of those evolved 100 mutant demon servants," One of the blood rose''s squad members fell to the ground and heaving a sigh of relief, excitedly shouted at the sky. "Captain, Can we take a small break before continuing to fight that demon army," another one of her squad members asked for her permission. "Go on and take rest. You must be tired after running all the way here and fighting continuously for nearly half an hour. So you need some rest," Blood rose gave permission for her squad members to take rest before moving towards Edmond, Rulf and others. "You took more than 5 minutes to recover, Rulf," Edmond mocked Rulf afterpletely killing the elite demon general from the earlier. "Idiot...do you know how much essence of nature I had spent toe here?" Rulf scolded back Edmond and continued, "Anyway, I came here before the first army could even go away from here." "Huh?" Edmond and others looked at Rulf while raising their brows. Chapter 482: Red-eyed ba

482 Red-eyed ba

"Do you know how much essence of nature I had to spend in order toe here as fast as I could? Nearly 70 percent of my spirit consciousness ispleted and the remaining 30 percent is utilized in the fight against the demon chief. And why do you think I did all of this? Toe here to stop that demon army. Rulf exined why he hade with his full speed while spending some huge amount of essence of nature. "So, you came to stop the demon army?" Edmond asked while rubbing his chin. "Yes," Rulf nodded his head and continued, "Now, we have to stop this demon army before the demon army moves far away." Looking at the demon army which was not very far from them, Rulf asked others to start fighting to stop the demon army. "Hahaha...you are really an idiot, Rulf," Edmond was unable to control hisugh and jokingly scolded Rulf before saying, "Do you still think this is the first batch of the demon army even after seeing their numbers?" Pointing his fingers at the demon army, Edmond asked Rulf with a serious face all of a sudden. "It is not the first batch of the demon army? So, where is it?" After looking at the more than 1500 demons in the demon army, Rulf became anxious and asked Edmond. "If my guess is right, that demon army must have already crossed the cursed wilderness," Edmond said with a nonchnt expression on his face as though he never cared about the demon army exiting the cursed wilderness. "Why? Why did you not stop them?" Rulf became serious and angrily asked Edmond about it. "Why should I? Am I some kind of guardian or a protector," Edmond didn''t get angry and replied with the same nonchnt expression on his face, "Also, aren''t there some mighty sects and great families to protect the human world? How can a lowly mercenary save the human world." Although Edmond tried his best to kill as many demons as possible, he didn''t act as though he never cared about humans. Also, what he just said now were his true inner feelings, he had always thought in his head and finally, he got a chance to voice them out. So, he said without any break in his words. "The Guild master always said, you are a great warrior for bing strong even after what has happened to you and your family. Sigh..but looks like you still can''te out of that thing," Rulf sighed with a disappointed face and continued, "Anyway, I don''t have time to waste by talking to a cold person." After finishing his words, Rulf followed the direction of the second batch of the demon army to catch up to the first batch of the demon army to stop them. "Anyway, I have to reach before they enter the human towns that are near to the cursed wilderness," Thinking about the nearby towns and cities outside the cursed wilder, the anxiousness in Rulf''s heart increased even more. However, he didn''t use much essence of nature in running as it would make himpletely drained by the time he reached them and he could not fight the demon army. ..... "Udo, shall we continue to fight this demon army or go after the first batch of the demon army?" Edmond looked at Udo and asked with a small smile on his face. "Whatever you say, let''s do it. Even if I choose something, you will follow your choice anyway. So, why bother asking me," Udo jokingly scoffed at Edmond and shook his head. "Looking at Rulf, I can say he will die even before killing half of the demon army from the first batch. If he dies, the guild master will be sad. So, let''s attack the first batch of the demon army," Edmondughed before exining the reason for choosing the first batch of the demon army. "Blood rose, can you ask your squad members to take these young cultivators back to the mercenary guild and inform all the other mercenaries to assemble them at the entrance of the cursed wilderness to fight the demon army?" After that, he looked at the Blood rose and asked for her help. "Father, we won''t leave you. We will fight the demon army alongside you," When they heard Edmond''s words, all the young cultivators became anxious and hurriedly pleaded with their godfather. "Children, you did your best in fighting against the demon army and I am proud of you; however, you need rest now. You are in no position to fight them. So, please go back to our squad residence and take some rest," Edmond replied to his godsons and goddaughters with a small smile on his face that made no one to retort back at him. "So, what do you say, Blood rose?" After calming his children, Edmond asked the Blood rose once again. "Everyone, you are also tired and didn''t sleep for a few days. So, go back and take some rest," Blood rose ordered her squad members to leave. Even if Edmond had not asked her, she would have done that same because all of her squad members'' faces were pale and looked extremely tired. "Yes, captain," No one retorted her orders and nodded their heads. "Red-eyed bat,e out," After seeing that her squad members agreed to her order, she summoned a huge bat that had a red coloured eye. Just looking at its eyes could make one hypnotized. Except for its eyes, all the skin on its body was in a pitch-ck colour. "Take them to the mercenary guild ande back," Blood rose ordered her summoner beast to carry the young cultivators and her squad members to the guild. "Screech" The red-eyed bat released an echo as though it understood what to do and waited for the young cultivators and the blood rose mercenary squad members to climb on to it. ''Swesh'' As soon as everyone climbed onto it, it pped its huge wings and flew away towards the exit of the cursed wilderness from another direction that was different from the direction the second batch of the demon army took. "Huh? Where did you get that rank 4 red-eyed bat?" Edmond was surprised at the Blood rose''s summoned beast. ording to him, the Blood rose feared the bat type spirit beasts and over time, she started hating them because of that fear; however, now he was surprised to find a red-eyed bat as her contract spirit beast. ''It is from the evil inheritance ground I was forced to enter after the death of my sister. It saved my life in the inheritance ground and it wanted to leave from there. So, I formed a contract with it and brought it back with me,'' Blood roses said in a small smile on her face that made Edmond''s heartache. Chapter 483: Demon King Garreth

483 Demon King Garreth

Edmond and Udo already knew how she was forced into an Evil inheritance ground. So, they didn''t know what to talk about next and looked at each others'' faces. "Now, let''s go and clear the first batch of the demon army," Edmond tried to change the topic and shifted it to the first batch of the demon army. "Yes, let''s go," Udo also nodded his head understanding what Edmond was trying to do. Now, there were only four people in front of the portal. They were Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr and Blood rose. Levi and it also went along with other young cultivators. So, that only left with four people remaining. ...¡­. In the cursed abyss, "Haha...guild master, you didn''t fall for the trap and came here," An eerie voice that could be heard by the old guild master from behind him. "Huh? An elite demon general?" The guild master became alert all of a sudden when he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar demon in front of him. "Did we meet before?" Nevertheless, the guild master maintained his calm and asked while looking at the demon in front of him. "Guild master, you still didn''t recognize me? Sigh...so that means you still haven''t recovered from my punches...Hahaha," The elite demon general sighed andughed at the same time making the guild master frown his eyebrows. "Demon King Garreth?" all of a sudden, the guild master noticed why he felt familiar with the elite demon general in front of him. "Took you long enough to notice me," the elite demon general shook his head before saying, "Shall we continue our battle from the decade ago?" The elite demon general walked towards the guild master while stretching his body. "Why not? You also didn''t recover your body yet and are using some other demon''s body to move around...Haha," the guild master mocked the elite demon general before taking out a talisman from his space ring. "Sigh...you sare still as prepared as always, guild master. I am not in a mood to fight now. Let''s continue some other time," Unexpectedly, the Demon king Garreth stopped in tracks and carefully looked at the talisman in the guild master''s hands and shook his head as though he was not interested in a fight any more. "As you wish...demon king Garreth," The guild master chuckled at the elite demon general in front of him and continued, "But before you leave, why don''t you say your n ofing to the cursed abyss and sending the demon army to attack the mercenary guild." "Huh? Why should I tell you about our n?" The demon king Garreth seriously looked at the guild master and asked with a mock on his face. "However, if you use that talisman, you will die along with me. So, do you still want to use it?" Instead of exining his n, the elite demon general said with a serious expression on his face. "You know me better than anyone else and what do you think about your own question?" The guild master sent a small amount of his essence of nature into the talisman and questioned back the elite demon general. "Okay...stop. Stop injecting your essence of nature into it. I will exin the n," Finally, the demon king Garreth gave into the guild master''s question and agreed to say about their n. "We got an information that there is an ownerless dimensional crevice in the cursed abyss," he slowly started saying about the n and continued, "At the same time, I wanted to test whether your injuries are healed or not with a small portion of my demon army." "What? An ownerless dimensional crevice? Where?" The old guild master became shocked all of a sudden and immediately asked the elite demon general. The old guild master knew how useful a dimensional crevice to him. Not only him, but for the entire human race, it was very useful. So, he wanted to know where it was located. "However, I and my other servants searched this whole ce for a while and concluded that the information we got is a wrong one," the elite demon general shook his head before turning around to leave from that ce. "Wait, are you saying the truth?" When he heard the elite demon general''s words he frowned and hurriedly asked him. "It''s up to you whether to believe it or not," after saying that, the elite demon general turned into a ck gas and disappeared. "Shall I try my luck?" The old guild master thought for a moment before rejecting that thought as it was impossible for a cultivator to find the entrance to an ownerless dimension crevice unless they know the exact coordinates to enter it. So, he shook his head before thinking, "Did I juste here for nothing?" He thought he could find something here; however, he just wasted his trip here. "Anyway, I should return back and help Rulf in fighting the demon army," the guild master thought and hurriedly ran towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. ''These sects and great families act high and mighty but they didn''t send their elite forces to help protect the human race from the other world,'' while running, the old guild master cursed the top three sects and five great families, who never sent their forces to help them. ''Moreover, they destroyed all the nine hidden families that used to protect the Zrochester province,'' Thinking about the mindless actions of the sect and great families, he could not help but wanted to curse them even more. ...¡­ "Only a few more kilometers to the exit of the cursed wilderness, I hope the demon army doesn''t reach the nearby towns yet," a middle-aged man in his early thirties rushed towards the exit of the cursed wilderness at an incredible speed while thinking something in his mind. He was none other than Rulf, who ran at an incredible speed for the past 20 minutes and almost reached the exit of the cursed wilderness. ''Huh?'' However, he sudden;y came to a halt when he noticed the dead bodies of the demon servants along his way. ''Who killed them? Did any other mercenary squad is nearby or what?'' While thinking that, he slowly moved forward. As he moved forwards, the dead bodies of the demon servants increased more and more that made him shocked as he still didn''t know who had that much battle prowess to kill these many demons. "Haha....finally I havepleted the mission," All of a sudden, he heard a voice from the distance and saw a 15-17 year old young man piercing his long spear into the body of a demon general and killed him in a single strike. ''Who is he? Did he kill all the demon servants?'' Rulf looked at the young man and with a face full of alertness, he walked slowly towards him. Chapter 484: Instant breakthrough

484 Instant breakthrough

"Phew...finally my main mission ispleted," Looking at the system notifications in front of him, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "I want to end the mission," Ajax didn''t waste any time and replied to the system''s question. He wanted toplete his bonus mission with the help of the rewards he got from the main mission. Moreover, he also knew that the bonus mission''s rewards were far greater than the additional rewards he got from the main mission. So, there was no hesitation in his words as he chose to end the main mission. ''Ding, The main mission:-Dy the demon army is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, A special reward box is sent to the host''s inventory. ''Ding, Aplishment rating of the ''A'' danger rating mission is ''A+'' An energy orb that can increase the host''s cultivation by 2 minor realms is stored in his spirit consciousness. Soon a series of system notifications appeared in front of him that only made him excited. ''Excellent,'' Ajax was very happy with the rewards and he didn''t waste any time and directly said, ''System, increase my body cultivation by two minor realms.'' ''Ding, Are you sure you want to upgrade your body cultivation? "Yes," Ajax instantly replied to the system notification and waited for the pain that was about toe whenever an energy orb was used. ''Ding, Please bear with the pain while the up-gradation process is done. Ajax was already ready for that pain, so he didn''t bother with the system notification and continued to wait for the breakthrough pain. After a few momentster, ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing the level 2 elitemander ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for bing the level 3 elitemander "Huh?" The pain he was expected toe didn''te and instead of that what came was a couple of system notifications that informed about his breakthrough. Seeing that Ajax became puzzled as he didn''t understand why the pain that was supposede had never came. ''Ding, After the fire and lightning tempering on the host''s body, the host''s body endurance has increased to an incredible level. "Huh? So, that is the reason," Ajax finally understood the reason behind it and nodded his head. ''Anyway, I wonder how much of my essence of nature increased after the breakthrough,'' Looking at the battle between his summons and the demon army, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Ding, With the two minor realm breakthroughs, the host''s spirit consciousness has received 2000 units of the essence of nature along with the small increase in his spirit consciousness'' capacity. The first thing he thought after gaining the essence of nature from his breakthroughs was to use its Abyssal beast god bloodline. Because, his bloodline has the effect of increasing his strength and his elemental spirits strength by two times whereas, for the contacted spirit beasts, they would receive the strength boost by a factor of three. ''Since my strength will be double with the activation of the bloodline, killing a demon general is not an easy thing,'' Ajax smiled as he thought about his power after using the bloodline. At present, Ajax could easily kill a normal peak elitemander and with the boost he received from the bloodline, he had absolute confidence that he could even kill a level 5 general realm cultivator or demon. ''Activate ???Abyssal beast god bloodline'','' Without wasting any time, he activated his bloodline without even bothering to open the special reward box that could give an item useful for his situation. ''Sheesh'' As soon as he activated his bloodline, his aura changed along with his previous tired look on his face. Not only him, but all the elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts emitted light from their body that onlysted for a few seconds before disappearing. With the disappearance of the light, the auras radiated by them also changed. "What''s happening?" "How can all of them increase their strength in a few seconds?" "Looks like, we have to escape before he kills us all," "I thought, these demon servants will tire out the human cultivators and then we can easily kill them; however, these mindless creatures are such a pain in the a*s," "Everyone, let''s escape in various directions," "I agree with him," ??Me too," While Ajax and his summons were getting boosts from the Abyssal beast god bloodline, all the demon generals in the 500 or so demon army, were shocked by Ajax''s another secret skill that could increase the battle prowess of his teammates and discussed through the voice transmission for a while before concluding to escape from the demon army. They were already very much scared about Ajax''s army and they lost their morale when Ajax and his summons were killing the demon servants without any difficulty. So, the scared demon generals looked at each other''s faces before jumping out of the demon army and started rushing in different directions. ''Looks like there are no elite demon generals in the first batch of the demon army except for a dozen or so cowardly demon generals,'' Ajax felt his blood rising after using his bloodline and calmly observed the rushing demon generals without moving from his position. In the first batch of the demon army, only two elite demon generals came out of the portal. Moreover, they were killed by Edmond and others. As for the remaining demon generals, they waited for the human experts to tire themselves out with the cannon fooder in front of them before they gave the final blow and thought to consume them. Nevertheless, they didn''t expect to meet someone like Ajax, who had an army at his back and many skills that could do some great damage to them. So, after seeing the battle prowess of Ajax and his summons, they escaped without any hesitation. "Summoning master, they are escaping, let me catch them for you to kill," Volcanis, who was close to Ajax hurriedly asked for his permission to go after them. "Why? They are still within the range, right?" Ajax mysteriously smiled while looking at Volcanis and then at the running demon generals. "I already have a n for them. So, don''t worry and kill the demon armypletely," He didn''t wait for Volcanis'' reply before picking up the bloodlust spear from the ground. "Volcanis, watch this," Ajax, with a small smile on his face, threw that bloodlust spear with his full force at one of the demon generals that was very far whenpared to other demon generals. ''Swoosh'' The bloodlust spear spun around itself and rushed at an incredible speed that even Volcanis and others only saw a long red-coloured silhouette in the air. The spear had the extra strength from his bloodline and along with the level 2 spear dao, it looked impossible to stop even by the low-level elite general realm cultivators. ''What is that thing?'' that demon general turned back his head to see a red-coloured silhouette before it pierced into his back and nailed him to the ground. ''Phi'' Except for the spear piercing sound, even his painful shout didn''te out of his mouth before he died without knowing what killed him. Chapter 485: End of the first batch of the demon army

485 End of the first batch of the demon army

''Ding, A level 5 demon general is killed. No essence of nature is gained. ''Ding, Killed Demon generals:- 1/10 As soon as the demon general died, two system notifications came to his head that made Ajax brightly smile. "Volcanis, how''s it?" Ajax asked Volcanis, who killed a group of demon servants with his fire asteroids skill while looking at Ajax. "It''s an excellent throw, Summoning master. But there are still 12 more demon generals in different directions," Volcanis truly marvelled Ajax''s spear throw that was very urate and asked about what he would do to the other running demon generals. "Kill the demon servants from the army and watch me in between at how I will deal with them," Ajax gave a mysterious smile to Volcanis and silently thought, ''Cloud steps'' As soon as he used the level 2 cloud steps, he disappeared from his ce and appeared in between three demon generals in a few seconds. "Hehe...since you came to destroy human race why are you so eager to run away?" With a mocking smile on his face, Ajax loudly said, "Absolute darkness" ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' As soon as Ajax used his ''Absolute darkness'' the three demon generals within his 100 meters radius fell to the ground while clutching their heads and cried in pain. Although that skill was powerful, it was not enough to affect them; however, with the boost from his bloodline, the ''Absolute darkness'' had be more powerful and made the demon general fall to the ground. "You can enjoy the nightmares until you die," Ajax didn''t do anything to them as he already knew that if he didn''t stop his skill, they would die after experiencing some nightmares. So, he didn''t have any worry and rushed towards another 2-3 demon generals group and followed the same n. After four trips of moving in different directions and using his skill ''Absolute darkness'' to give some deadly nightmares to those demon generals, Ajax stopped running anymore. ''Ding, 8 level 5 demon generals are killed. No essence of nature is gained. ''Ding, Killed Demon generals:- 9/10 As soon as he stopped moving, he received the usual system notifications in his head informing that 8 demon generals were killed and the remaining ones were still crying in pain. Ajax didn''t think much because he used his skill with some time gap between them. So, he thought because of that they were still alive. ''Cool,'' After that, Ajax looked in the direction of the demon army and was surprised to find that there were only a little more than 300 demon servants left and continued thinking, ''Looks like the effect of the bloodline is more than I thought.'' "Anyway, I have to reach 100 kills for the demon servants, so its better to kill them before the bloodline''s effect is lost," With that thought in his mind, he immediately rushed towards the demon servants and started killing. ''Puchi'' ''ng'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchii'' Ajax continuously killed them as the system notifications rang in his ear making him even more excited. Also, he didn''t use his skills like ''cloud steps'' and ''Absolute darkness'' as they cost him the essence of nature and he had previously used them in attacking the demon generals. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness has almost emptied. Warning to deactivate the Abyssal beast god bloodline. As he was on a full form in killing the demon servants, Ajax received a system notification with a red alert on the holographic screen. ''Deactivate the bloodline,'' After seeing the notification, Ajax didn''t hesitate for a second before deactivating his bloodline. As soon as he deactivated his bloodline, Ajax''s face looked pale and exhaustion was apparently evident on his face. ''No, I can''t rest yet. I still have a mission toplete,'' Ajax clenched his fists and pped himself to be serious and looked at the less than 100 mindless demon servants in front of him. ''Third target'' Ajax silently muttered in his head before a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Third target, Killed Demon generals:- (9/10) Killed Demon servants:- (92/100) ''Phew I can do it,'' After seeing that he only needed 8 more demon servants, Ajax once again started killing the demon servants. However, this time even a level 6 or 7 demon servant took him more than a couple of moves to kill. ''By the way, why those 4 demon generals still didn''t die?'' Ajax didn''t wonder why the demon generals target still didn''t finish and looked in their direction. They were still crying in pain while clutching their heads, making Ajax think, "So, they are still enduring the pain from the nightmare. Carry on then. I will not disturb you." Even though they were still crying in pain, Ajax was not in a hurry to kill them because he already knew that they would die soon from the nightmares. So, he focused onpleting his other target of killing the demon servants. After the deactivation of the bloodline, not only him but all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts also became a little tired and their battle prowess was greatly weakened. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to kill the remaining 8 demon servants and his summons cleared the entire demon army in the next five minutes. Except for the four demon generals, who were still crying in pain, theplete first batch of the demon army was cleared by Ajax and his summons. "Everyone, you did an excellent job and looking at your faces, I can say that you need some rest. So, go back into the inner world and take some rest," Ajax ordered them with his tired face before sending them into the inner world. "Yes, summoning master," "Roar," Elemental spirits replied with a few words whereas the spirit beast roared at him as though they were saying ''We need some rest now'' ''Although they look tired, there is a satisfied look on their faces as though they had enjoyed a great fight after a very long time,'' Ajax muttered inside his head before moving towards the demon generals. Even though they fought in some small fights, this was the greatest battle they had ever fought after forming a contract with Ajax. So, after that great fight, they wanted to take some rest. ''Aargh'' The four demon generals were still shouting and enduring the nightmares of the ''Absolute Darkness''. ''Looks like these demon generals must have great resistance to skills that affect the mind,'' Ajax muttered while observing them closing. There were no major differences among all the demon generals he killed so far except for some scars. ''Anyway, you must be suffering a lot. Let me put an end to your suffering,'' Ajax acted as a benevolent soul and took out his bloodlust spear before piercing it into the chest of a demon general. ''Puchi'' As soon as he pierced the spear, all the painful cries from the other demon generals disappeared which made Ajax puzzled. Chapter 486: Rulf meets Ajax

486 Rulf meets Ajax

''Ding, 4 level 5 demon generals are killed. No essence of nature is gained. ''Ding, Killed Demon generals:- 13/10 As he was thinking about the sudden death of the demon generals, he got the regr system notification informing about his kills and the target progress. ''Whatever, since I got the kill notification from the system, then they are dead and my mission ispleted,'' Ajax didn''t waste his time thinking about the death of the demon generals and moved away from the dead bodies of the demon generals. ''Ding, The third target of the bonus mission is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, Increasing the host''s cultivation by 2 minor realms in the spirit cultivation. Before he knew what was happening, he felt the familiar pain of forcefully increasing his spirit consciousness. ''Aargh'' Ajax thought he would not have any pain in the increment of his spirit cultivation; however, he waspletely wrong in assuming like that. When increasing his body cultivation, he didn''t feel any pain because of his body tempering with fire and lightning whereas the spirit cultivation was different. It didn''t have anything to do with the body as it mainly focuses on the spirit consciousness. ''Aargh'' Ajax continued to shout in pain for a few minutes before stopping his painful shouts. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for reaching level 10 in spirit cultivation. ''Phew...finally the increment in spirit cultivation is over and now I can use the stabilizing crystal'' Only when he got the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and turned his head to the side. "Huh?" From a distance to his left, he noticed a middle-aged man in his early thirties and was shocked before bing alert all of a sudden. The middle-aged man also became alerted and carefully observed Ajax. In his head, that man was thinking, ''When did humans have such a talented young man? Why did he cry in pain after killing the demon generals? Also, he is not wearing any sect uniform and¡­..wait a second.'' All of a sudden, he put a break for his thoughts and looked at the badge on Ajax''s chest and became shocked. He was none other than Rulf who rushed from the second batch of the demon army in order to stop the first batch of the demon army. However, he waspletely shocked by the dead bodies of around 800-1000 demons in front of him. "Who are you?" Ajax and Rulf both asked the same question at the same time. "Rulf" "Ajax" They looked at each other for a second before saying their names at the same time. Although he didn''t see Ajax in person, he knew a lot about Ajax. He also knew Ajax was a summoner; however, he didn''t see any elemental spirits beside Ajax that made him even more shocked. ''So, he killed these many demons on his own? No, he must have summoned his elemental spirits and must have summoned them back before I came here,'' It didn''t take much time for Rulf to strike off his own thoughts and concluded hister part. Also, with the help of a badge on Ajax''s chest, he concluded that Ajax was not lying about his name. "Yes, I am from that mercenary squad," Ajax nodded his head before asking, "So, you are?" While many thoughts were running in Rulf''s head, Ajax asked a question to Rulf and waited for his reply. "Haha¡­ I am the one who manages the mercenary guild," Rulfughed when he heard Ajax''s question and replied with a proud expression on his face. "Huh? What an imposter?" Ajax muttered in a low voice; however, that was clearly heard by Rulf. ording to what he heard from Edmond and others, the mercenary guild is managed by an old man. So, when he saw Rulf, who was in his early thirties, Ajax directly concluded him as an imposter. "What? I am saying the truth," Rulf became angry all of a sudden that a 15-year-old kid called him an imposter that hit his sore spot. "Whatever, I need some rest. If you help me guard me for a while I will give you 1000 low-level spirit stones," From the system, Ajax already knew the cultivation of the middle-aged man in front of him; however, he was not fearful of him because he could sense that the man in front of him would not harm him. "1000 spirit stones?" Rulf became even more angry when he heard Ajax''s words. "Since your cultivation level is in the elite general realm and I am very magnanimous by nature, I will give you 2000 sprit stones and guard me for 5 minutes, I need to heal my injuries," Ajax doubled the offer of the spirit stones with a kind look on his face. "I don''t want your spirit stones or anything. Just sit down and take rest. I will watch out for you," Rulf replied to Ajax while shaking his head. Even though he was angry with Ajax''s words, he asked Ajax to take rest as hepletely destroyed the first batch of the demon army on his own. So, Rulf didn''t scold him; instead asked him to rest. "Oh thanks, Uncle Rulf," Ajax hurriedly thanked Ajax and sat on the ground to meditate. "You really don''t want my spirit stones?" Before he closed his eyes, Ajax asked Rulf with a doubtful look. "Start healing your wounds, idiot," Rulf scolded him and looked at his surroundings before settling in some distance away from Ajax. ''Did he go away?'' Ajax slowly opened one of his eyes and observed Rulf, who was some distance away from him and thought, ''I think I can you that stabilizing crystal now.'' Although it was somewhat risky to use in front of Rulf, Ajax wanted to use it as soon as possible before Edmond and others noticed that his strength had increased once again by two realms. However, if he used the stabilizing crystal, his body cultivation would be decreased and it might return to level 1 of the elitemander realm. So, he took the risk of using it now. ''This man must have not noticed my body cultivation clearly. Even if he notices, I know what to say...Haha,'' Ajax smiled inside his heart. ''System, use the stabilizing crystal to synchronize my two cultivations (Body cultivation and spirit cultivation)'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he ordered his system. ''Ding, Do you want to use the stabilizing crystal? ''Yes'' Ajax slowly replied to the system and waited for it to start its process. ''Ding, Initiating the synchronization between body cultivation and spirit cultivation. Please bear the pain thates from the synchronization. Before the system started its process, it warned Ajax and asked him to endure the pain. ''Huh? What is he doing?'' From a distance, Rulf felt some energy fluctuations from Ajax that made him raise his brows. Chapter 487: Synchronising the cultivations

487 Synchronising the cultivations

''Should I go near to him and observe?'' Rulf thought about it for a second before shaking his head and didn''t go near to him. Since Ajax had basically saved him some trouble of killing all the demons in the first batch, he gave some privacy for Ajax to do his own thing. ''Phew...he is not bothering about me anymore,'' Ajax, who was carefully watching Rulf heaved a sigh of relief before ordering his system, ''System, continue the process.'' Ajax just wanted to confirm that Rulf would not observe him more keenly and once he was sure, he started his n of using the ''Stabilizing crystal''. As soon as he ordered the system, the bone-wrecking pain appeared all over his body; however, the pain was within his endurance. So, he was able to endure it without making any noise. ''Looks like the fire tempering and lightning tempering is more useful than I thought,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief thinking back to the temperings his body had gone through. Because of that, his body waspletely immune to most of the pains. ''Aargh'' Just as he was heaving a sigh of relief, a sudden pain appeared in his spirit consciousness. It was so sudden that Ajax was unable to endure it and let out a pained shout from his mouth. ''Huh?'' Although Ajax quickly closed his mouth to stop the pained shouts out of his, Rulf still listened to them and raised his brows. ''What happened to him again?'' Earlier, after killing the demon general, he saw Ajax painfully shout. So, he wondered what''s happening to him. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, he hurriedly rushed towards Ajax to check whether he was alright or not. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully enduring the pain and synchronised both the cultivation. ''Ding, Whenever host achieves a breakthrough in one cultivation, his other cultivation also progresses and bes equal to it. Before Rulf could reach Ajax, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him heaved a sigh of relief. "Ajax, are you okay?" Rulf hurriedly asked and checked on Ajax. "Yeah I am fine," Ajax revealed a light smile in response. "Huh?" However, Rulf''s focus was entirely on Ajax''s body as he found something unusual. "What happened, Uncle Rulf?" Ajax nervously asked Rulf while calling him with his name. "If you don''t mind me asking, isn''t your cultivation was at level 3 elitemander realm?" Rulf didn''t want to pry into Ajax''s secret as he knew everyone had their own; however, he could not help but ask about the decrease in his cultivation. ''That is¡­.'' ''Ding, Before Ajax could say something, he was interrupted by the system notification. ''What? Only at level 1 elitemander? Damn that stabilizing crystal,'' Ajax stopped his exnation and silently cursed the stabilizing crystal. Before using the stabilizing crystal, his spirit cultivation was at level 10 of themander realm and his body cultivation was at level 3 of the elitemander realm. So, he thought he would be a level 2 elitemander realm cultivator. ''Nevermind, since I can increase both the cultivations at the same time, it is a good deal,'' In the end, Ajax calmed down and consoled himself with the advantages brought by the stabilizing crystal. "Ajax, what is that?" All of a sudden, Ajax came out of his thoughts by Rulf''s voice. "That is not my actual cultivation, it is a small boost from one of the techniques," Ajax calmly said to Rulf which made him believe without any doubts. "If you recover your essence of nature soon, let''s go and kill the second batch of the demon army," Soon, Rulf wasn''t able to remain calm anymore as he knew that a huge army wasing towards them and if they were unable to stop them, then the human race would suffer some great losses. So, he asked Ajax to hurry up and recover his essence of nature. "I am good but I want some time to recover some more essence of nature," With the breakthrough in spirit cultivation, not only his spirit consciousness capacity had directly increased 9000 units but his essence of nature in it also increased by 2000 units. Nevertheless, this time, when he fights against the second batch of the demon army, he wants to fight them with his full spirit consciousness. "Sure, I already asked someone to inform all the mercenaries to gather at the exit of the cursed wilderness. Until theye, we can fill our spirit consciousness," Rulf understood what Ajax''s intentions were and when he thought from Ajax''s perspective, he wanted topletely fill his spirit consciousness. With that thought in his mind, Rulf went back to his ce and took out a mid-grade spirit stone and started recovering his essence of nature. ''Damn it. How can he casually use a mid-grade spirit stone to fill his spirit consciousness?'' When Ajax saw a mid-grade spirit stone, he cursed Rulf. Because he knew how valuable it was and how had very good use of it. With the help of a mid-grade spirit stone, he could refine advanced essence pills that could not only be helpful in getting 1000 units of the essence of nature but there was a chance of spirit beasts awakening their ancestral memories. Even though he still had around 18 pills in his inventory, he didn''t dare to use them because it would be too much of a waste to use it on himself. ''I should ask whether he has any more mid-grade spirit stones on him,'' Ajax controlled his emotions and took out a bunch of low-grade spirit stones from his inventory and started absorbing at an incredible speed. ...¡­ While Ajax and Rulf were increasing their essence of nature in their spirit consciousness, the mercenary guild was busy with the mercenaries from all over the Zrochester province. "All mercenaries are requested to go to the exit of the Cursed Wilderness. A demon army is now on their way to attack us. So, go and kill as many demons as possible to protect our loved ones," Sarah used some kind of talisman that enhanced her voice and informed all the mercenaries in front of her about the demon army. "What? A demon army?" "Is it true?" "What are we waiting for? Let''s go and kill those bastards," "They killed my entire family. I need to avenge them by killing as many demons as possible," After hearing Sarah''s words, each and every mercenary clenched their hands and swore to kill as many demons as possible. "Although you have your own reasons to kill those demon servants, our mercenary guild will be rewarding you for your contribution in this fight against the demons," Sarah, the beautiful receptionist continued to shout without any break, "Everyone wear these bracelets that will keep the count of your kills against this fight." Saying that Sarah threw hundreds of bracelets at them and each one of them caught one bracelet and hurriedly ran towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. Chapter 488: Next target:- Second batch of the demon army

488 Next target:- Second batch of the demon army

The more demons a mercenary kills, the more and better rewards that mercenary would get. ''I hope the fight will end up in the favour of humans,'' After every mercenary left from the mercenary guild, Sarah silently thought in her head. ..... In the cursed wilderness, An old man, who was in his simple robes rushed towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "Edmond? Blood rose?" As he was running, he noticed a group of people in front of him and he instantly recognized them. The old man was none other than the guild master of the mercenary guild. After the demon king Garreth left, he searched for the dimensional crevice for a while and didn''t find the entrance. So, he didn''t waste any more time and hurriedly rushed towards the demon army. However, he met Edmond and others. "Guild master?" Edmond and his group also stopped running when they saw the old man and except for Darbaudr everyone instantly became excited. In that group, there were only four members. They were Edmond, Udo, Blood rose and Darbaudr. "Why are you leaving the demon army and rushing towards the exit of the cursed wilderness?" That old man raised his brows as he asked them. The reason he asked them was that behind then there was a huge demon army but they were running away from that army which made the guild master displeased. Nevertheless, he didn''te to a conclusion and asked them. "There is a first batch of the demon army that must have already reached the exit of the cursed wilderness," Edmond embarrassedly exined everything from beginning to end. "Hmm" The guild master nodded his head before saying, "Since Rulf and Ajax are already fighting the first batch of the demon army, let them fight. We will stop the second batch of the demon." "But guild master, they need¡­..," "Let the first batch go to them. Anyway, other mercenaries will help them if they dragged the fight for enough time," Before Edmond could say anything, he was interrupted by the guild master. After hearing that Edmond didn''t say anything and nodded his head in agreement with his words. "Let''s kill these bastards," The old guild master let out a chuckle and said with an excited voice. "Yes, guild master," Edmond, Udo and Blood rose shouted and went into the fight with the demons. Finally, the guild master and Darbaudr were the only ones that were left behind, before the old man asked, "Are you part of Edmond''s mission?" "Huh?" Hearing the old man''s words, Darbaudr didn''t understand anything. "If my young master asks me to do it, I will help him; otherwise, forget it," Darbaudr maintained some respect in his voice as he sensed some great power within the old man in front of him. ''His peak level strength must be higher than my peak strength. Does that mean, he is a king realm cultivator?'' Darbaudr''s thoughts wandered about the old man''s strength. Darbaudr''s peak strength was peak elite general realm and only an inch away from king realm. So, he thought that the guild master was a king realm cultivator. "..." The guild master became silent before nodding his head. "By the way, why are you not attacking?" Darbaudr asked the guild masters because he was the one who ordered them to attack the demons but he was not attacking. "I can only fight for a few minutes with my full power. So, I am saving my strength for the powerful elite demon generals that you can''t beat," The old man said with a bitter look on his face. "Then I will start fighting," Darbaudr nodded his head and rushed to start his killings. ''I hope that no elite demon generals that can''t be defeated by Edmond and others should never appear,'' After Darbaudr entered the fight, the guild master sighed as he carefully observed the demon army for any powerful ones. ...¡­. At the exit of the cursed wilderness, "Ajax, are you ready? My spirit consciousness ispletely full," As Edmond and others were fighting the second batch of the demon army, Rulf opened his eyes and looking at Ajax, he asked about his spirit consciousness. "My spirit consciousness is 60 percent full. Can we wait until the other mercenariese here?" Ajax was still not ready as he wanted his spirit consciousness to bepletely full. So, Ajax asked Rulf to wait for some more time. They meditated for around one hour and Rulf was able topletely fill his spirit consciousness; however, Ajax''s spirit consciousness was only filled by 60 percent. The reason was the spirit stone. Rulf used a middle-grade spirit stone. So, he was able to recover his essence of nature within one hour whereas Ajax used only a low-grade spirit stone. "The reason I asked you is that the other mercenaries are already here," Rulf shook his head as he pointed his finger at the surroundings. In the distance, there were nearly 100 silhouettes that were moving in their direction with full battle equipment. "Okay then. Let''s go and fight the second batch of the demon army," Ajax didn''t want to waste everyone''s time because of his essence of nature. So, he directly stood up from the ground and asked Rulf to move. "Good," Rulf nodded his head at Ajax''s words and liked his behaviour before turning to the mercenaries that wereing from a distance and shouted, "Everyone, follow me." "Yes sir," All of the mercenaries replied with a respectful tone before following Rulf towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Simrly, Ajax also followed behind Rulf and at the same time he thought, ''Is he really the one who manages the mercenary guild?'' Seeing how respectful every mercenary was, towards Rulf made Ajax think about it. ''Anyway, let''s think about it after this battle,'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about it and thought about his spirit consciousness. ''60 percent of the essence of nature is not enough to use all my attacks,'' While he was thinking about the essence of nature, Ajax thought about something all of a sudden. ''System, is the bonus mission over? Or are there any more targets in it? Although the bonus mission was good to increase his cultivation, he was not getting any essence of nature from the demons he killed. So, he wanted to get a clear idea about that before entering the fight. ''Ding, Bonus missions are given randomly. So, the system doesn''t have an urate answer to it. ''What?''?Ajax was shocked by the system reply and cursed it inside his heart before thinking, ''I should kill a demon servant and then I will know whether I get the essence of nature or not.'' ''Ding, A new main mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. As he thought about an idea, Ajax got a new quest notification and raised his brows before checking it. Chapter 489: Meeting guild master

489 Meeting guild master

Nevertheless, Ajax opened the quest tab while continuing his running along with Rulf and other mercenaries who hade to kill the demons. ''Ding, Mission name:- im the reward. Description:- The host knows the location of a dimensional crevice through a reward; however, now that dimensional crevice was about to be taken over by some other people. So, im the dimensional crevice before it was taken over by others. Time limit:- 12 hours Reward:- Nothing Danger rating:- A ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows when he read about the mission details and became anxious. Because he knew how valuable a dimensional crevice was and what''s more it was originally a reward for him; however, now it was going to be taken over by some other people ''No, I need toplete this mission,'' How could he let that happen? He immediately thought about a n toplete the mission and sessfully im the ownership over the dimensional crevice. Although there were no rewards for such a high danger rating mission, Ajax didn''tin much about it as the dimensional crevice itself was a big reward for him. ''Also, if I canplete the mission with a high aplishment rating, then I can get some free energy orbs along with the dimensional crevice,'' Ajax became excited and his mind was fully filled with the thoughts of what his next steps would be. ''I have a 12 hours time limit. So, I will try to fill my essence of nature in the spirit consciousness before I go to the cursed abyss,'' Ajax already had the exact coordinates of the location of the dimensional crevice''s entrance; however to im ownership on a dimensional crevice, he had to qualify the test and trials of the dimensional crevice and if he failed the tests and trials, then in the worst case he would die and in the best case he would be alive with some small injuries. So, that''s the reason he wanted topletely fill his spirit consciousness before challenging the dimensional crevice. ''I can use the mid-grade spirit stone to fill my essence of nature within a short time; however it will be a waste to use a mid-grade spirit stone when I have another way to gain the essence of nature,'' Ajax had a quick way to gain the essence of nature but he rejected that thought because he wanted to test out his another method before using a mid-grade spirit stone. While Ajax was busy with his thoughts, Rulf and other mercenaries were seriously running towards the second batch of the demon army. Their thoughts were very simple. ''Kill as many demons as possible,'' ''avenge the dead ones,'' ''Protect the loved ones'' Everyone had their own thoughts simr to those and followed behind Rulf and Ajax without a word. "Where are the spirits beasts disappeared to?" To test his another method, he needs to kill some spirit beast and if he gets the essence of nature from killing them, he could enter into the fight with the demon army and fill his spirit consciousness and then he could go towards the cursed abyss. However, to his bad luck, he was unable to find a single spirit beast along the way that made Ajax frustrated. Generally, he could get the essence of nature by killing the other beings; however, because of the bonus mission, he was unable to get any essence by killing others. But now there was no active bonus mission and he wanted to check whether he could get the essence of nature or not. ''If I don''t get I need to say use mid-grade or low-grade spirit stones to fill my spirit consciousness,'' Ajax kept a backup n to fill his spirit consciousness. In front of the ownership of a dimensional crevice, a mid-grade spirit stone was nothing. So, he decided to use it if killing others doesn''t work. ''Damn these demons, that must have scared all the spirit beasts away from this route,'' He cursed the demons because they were the reason for the disappearance of the spirit beasts along their current route. Ajax''s bad luck continued to follow him till they reached the second batch of the demon army. ''So what, if I can''t find a spirit beast to test whether I can get the essence of nature by killing them. You are there for me, right?'' Ajax looked at the demon army in front of him and became excited. In front of him, Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr and Blood rose were fighting the demon servants and with every single move of theirs, they were able to kill nearly a dozen demon servants. From a distance, an old man in casual attire was watching the fight between the demons and Edmond''s group. "Huh? Guild master has returned already from the cursed abyss?" Rulf also noticied the guild master and became excited. As for the reason why he was excited because the problem in the cursed abyss must have been already solved. "Everyone, start attacking and kill as many demons as possible," Nevertheless, he ordered all the mercenaries behind him to start attacking the demons. ''Ugh'' "Let''s kill those demon bast*rds," "Let''s go" As soon as they heard Rulf''s words, all the mercenaries rushed towards the demon army with their weapons at an incredible speed. "Ajax, let me introduce you to the guild master of the mercenary guild," While all the mercenaries were fighting the demon army, Rulf dragged Ajax towards the old man. ''Guild master? He is the legendary guild master?'' When Ajax heard Rulf''s words, he became shocked because the guild master of the mercenary guild was very famous because of his name, the legendary mercenary. Of course, Ajax also knew about him and became quite excited to meet him. Soon, Rulf and Ajax reached the guild master and Ajax was about to introduce himself; however, before he could speak, the guild master''s voice could be clearly heard by him. "Hi Ajax, how are you?" The guild master spoke with a light smile on his face. "Huh?" Ajax was confused as to how the famous guild master knew about him. "Who doesn''t know a summoner in the Zrochester province. As long as you be a summoner, whether it is a low-level one or a high-level, that doesn''t matter. You will be famous just like that," Looking at the confused face on Ajax''s face, the guild master smilingly exined about how he knew about Ajax and didn''t wait for Ajax to say something and continued, ''Also, Edmond brat has mentioned about you a couple of times.'' "What? Captain Edmond mentioned me? For what?" Ajax was getting one shock after another and asked the guild master. "He said, you are the lucky charm for him and his mercenary squad," The guild master mysteriously smiled at Ajax that not only puzzled Ajax but even Rulf was puzzled because he didn''t know a single thing about it and asked the old man, "How did his end up as his lucky charm." Chapter 490: Immersed in killing

490 Immersed in killing

"Haha¡­," Instead of exining, the guild master startedughing making Rulf and Ajax''s faces be serious. "Okay okay...I will say," Saying their serious faces, the guild master finally gave in and continued, "Youngsters nowadays seriouslyck manners towards the older man." "Anyway, let me exin why he said that. After Ajax entered the Hazegroove mercenary squad, Edmond continuously broke through in his cultivation, Udo also broke through a couple of minor realms, Paulin became a summoner, Lewis and Jeff also worked hard and increased their cultivations. Overall, the strength of the Hazegroove mercenary squad has increased very much," From beginning to end, the guild master didn''t even breathe and exined what Edmond had said to him about Ajax being their lucky charm. "Haha" As soon as he heard that, Ajax was unable to control hisughter and startedughing before saying, "Guild master, it has nothing to do with me. They worked hard and their cultivation increased. That''s all." "Whatever, I just said what Edmond has said to me," the guild master shook his head and replied back to Ajax. "Guild master, what happened in the cursed abyss?" After their introductions, Rulf asked about his doubts about the guild master. "What you have guessed it right, Rulf. The demons were searching for something in the cursed abyss," The guild master briefly exined about his encounter with the demon king Gareth. "What? Even a demon king hase for that item? What is it, guild master?" Rulf was shocked when he heard that a demon king personally came to search for something in the cursed abscess. ''Are they talking about the dimensional crevice?'' Ajax also became incredibly shocked and became anxious; however, he waited for the guild master to finish his story. So, he could get a rough approximation about the situation in the guild master. "He was searching for a dimensional crevice," the guild master slowly said what the demons were searching in the cursed abyss. "What? A dimensional crevice?" Rulf got stunned by the guild master''s words and hurriedly asked, "Did they im ownership of that dimensional crevice?" "Although they know that there is an ownerless dimensional crevice in the cursed abyss, they don''t know the exact location and judging by the size of the cursed abyss, it is impossible to find the exact location to the entrance of the dimensional crevice," The old guild master smiled while he exined it. "Then it''s a good thing," Rulf heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the demon army before saying, "I will join the fight and kill some demons as a warm forter fight." Amongst the three, thatst batch of the demon army only have around 100 or 200 but all of them would have the peak general realm strength and what''s more they even know the formation skills. With those formation skills, they could even kill a level 5 elite general realm cultivation without much difficulty. "Save your strength for the third batch," The guild master nodded his head and warned him not to overexert his strength. "I know. What about you, Ajax? Are youing?" Before rushing towards the demon army, Rulf nced at Ajax and asked him. ''Although the guild master returned back from the cursed abyss, ording to the system, someone is going to im that ownerless dimensional crevice within 12 hours,'' While Rulf was asking him a question, Ajax was in deep thoughts about the dimensional crevice and didn''t hear Rulf''s words. "Ajax, are you even listening to my words?" Rulf lightly pped Ajax''s head and made hime out of his deep thoughts. "I am listening," Ajax immediately replied and looked at his surroundings as though he was shocked by something. "So, join me. Let''s kill as many demons as possible before the third batch of the demon armyes out of the demon portal," Rulf looked at the exciting fights between all the mercenaries and the demons and excitedly asked Ajax to join the fight along with him. "Sure," Ajax didn''t have any problem with joining the fight as he wanted to test a method anyway. "Okay, guild master, see youter," Rulf and Ajax rushed into the demon army. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' Rulf, with his incredible speed, shed his long and thin sword at a group of demon servants and killed them in a single sh. He didn''t nce at the demon servant he had shed once and proceeded to the other group of demon servants. ''Please heavens, let me gain the essence of nature from killing,'' While Rulf had already killed more than 20 demon servants in less than a minute, Ajax prayed heavens and shed his inheritance sword at a couple of demon servants. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Thud'' Both the demon servants'' heads were separated from their remaining body from Ajax''s sword sh. ''Ding, Killed a level 8 demon servant, Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, ¡­. Two same system notifications appeared in front of Ajax that made him excited and he soon startedughing like a maniac. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''Ding, Killed¡­.. ''Ding, Killed... He continued to swing his sword at the demon servants and continued to kill the demon servants. With each system notification, his blood started rising that made him swing his sword even more. ''Even though I am getting only 100 units for even when I kill a peak level demon servant, it is not a problem. As long as I get the essence of nature from killing the demon servants, I canpletely fill my spirit consciousness within less than 10 minutes,'' Ajax noticed that he was getting very fewer units of the essence of nature from the kills now whenpared to his earlier kills; However, Ajax was already satisfied he was getting the essence of nature from killing the demon servants. He continued to massacre the demon servants in front of him and totally forget about his surroundings. He waspletely immersed in killing the demon servants as though it was the most favourite thing in this world for him. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness is filled by 99 percent. Suggesting the host to stop storing the essence of nature more than his spirit consciousness can hold. Only when he heard the system notification, did Ajaxe out of his immersion of killing the demon servants. ''My spirit consciousness is already filled?'' Ajax was surprised as he felt the time had passed very quickly. He looked at his surroundings and noticed all the mercenaries and others were still fighting the demon servant without any rest. ''Sigh...if only I can summon my spirit beasts and elemental spirits to fight the demon army, it will be even more exciting for me,'' Ajax remembered his feeling of summoning all his summons in clearing the first batch of the demon army and sighed. ''I will fight for some more time and find an excuse to leave the battle,'' Ajax thought when he noticed that he only entered the battle for less than 10 minutes. So, he decided to fight using his rarely used skills. Chapter 491: Becoming famous

491 Bing famous

After he decided to use his rarely used skills, he chose the spatial des as his first skill. As soon as he thought about it in his head, a portal that was 1 meter long was opened in front of him and hundreds of wind des came out of it and pierced through the demon servants bodies. ''Ding, Killed a level 8 demon servant, Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed a level 10 demon servant, Gained 500 units of the essence of nature. . . . . ''Ding, Killed a level 3 demon general, Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. More than 30 system notifications came to his mind. Not only normal demon servants but mutant demon servants and even demon generals that were lurking in the demon army as they were waiting for a chance to kill Ajax, were instantly killed by a storm of spatial des. They didn''t even know how they died because the spatial des were very fast and they didn''t expect Ajax to use a long-range skill all of a sudden. ''Haha...not bad not bad,'' Seeing at the destruction caused by the spatial des, Ajax was unable to control hisughter. ''Although I didn''t get theplete 8000 units of the essence of nature I used in the spatial des, it is worth it just for the feeling alone,'' Afterughing for a moment, he enjoyed the feeling of killing more than 30 demons included mutated demon servants and demon generals in a single attack. That''s right! In the earlier attack he used the 8000 units of the essence of nature, which around 90 percent of his total essence of nature that his spirit consciousness could hold, to cast his spatial des and in return, he got around 7000 units of the essence of nature. However, he didn''t feel anything over a loss of 1000 units as he knew he could get that much of the essence of nature in less than a minute. What he wanted now was to waste some time in the demon army and enjoy the feeling of killing the demon servants with minimum effort. ''I can use the Abyssal beast god bloodline yet and even if I can use it, I need to save it for the trial in the dimensional crevice,'' Ajax rejected the thought of using his bloodline without any hesitation. ''Cloud steps,'' ''Absolute darkness'' He now used a movement technique along with skill and made all the demon servants see nightmares. ''Aargh aargh'' However, they were not as strong as the demon generals and they instantly died without any resistance. ''Ding, Killed a level 5 demon servant, Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. . . . . ¡­.. Soon, he got another series of system notifications that informed about his killings. As soon as he said that his shadow came out of the ground and started killing the demon servants around. ''How nice it would be if I can summon all my elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts,'' Ajax continued to miss that feeling but he knew he could not do anything at his current strength. ''Should I use demon w too?'' Until now, he only used the skills that Edmond and others already know about; however, he felt hesitant to use all his skills because he didn''t want to reveal all his minor trump cards to others yet. He continued to use the expensive skills and technique to empty his spirit consciousness by half before taking out his inheritance sword to fill it again. ''Mountain splitting sh'' With his inheritance sword, he used the single move sword technique along with his level 2 sword technique. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Argh'' Ajax, once again immersed into his killing as he killed demons that came in front of him and filled his spirit consciousness with the essence of nature. ¡­. ''I already thought I am overestimating him but it looks like my overestimation is still an underestimation,'' The old guild master, who was observing Ajax from the start of his fighting silently thought in his head. Previously, he thought about Ajax that since he was a summoner, he could be among the top 20 of the young geniuses in the Zrochester province and he felt it was already an overestimation. However, after seeing the skills like ''Spatial des'' ''Shadow clone'' and ''Absolute darkness'', he felt hepletely underestimated Ajax. ''What''s more, he even mastered level 2 in the sword dao. It seems like an attack type one which is increasing his attacking power even more,'' ''Looks like he will be far stronger than Edmond when his cultivation realm increases,'' The old guild master''s expectations on Ajax had increased after seeing all his skills and techniques andpared him with Edmond. The guild master always thought about the human race. So, if Ajax''s cultivation is increased then he would be one of the human experts to save the human race from the invasions of other races. "Who is that kid?" "How can he instantly kill that many demons" "Those skills...they look like high-level ones," Not only the old guild master but all the other mercenaries were shocked by the battle prowess, skills and techniques of Ajax. "Haha...Ajax is getting famous once again," Edmond also observed Ajax from time to time and when he saw how Ajax became the talk of all the mercenaries, heughed out loudly. The first between the humans and the demons continued for an hour before Ajax got that system notification. ''Ding, Stop storing the essence of nature in the spirit consciousness anymore. ''Finally filled the spirit consciousness for the third time,'' It took nearly one hour for Ajax to empty his spirit consciousness and fill it three times. "Damn it. How many demons are there in this second batch of the demon army? The more we kill, the more seemed toe," After one hour of fighting, the Ajax, Rulf and mercenaries killed more than 1000 demons, but he still saw more than 1500 demons in the demon army. By now, almost all the mercenaries were exhausted. However, Ajax didn''t have any worry that the demons would cross the cursed wilderness because behind their backs, the legendary mercenary was watching them. Moreover, by now, the matter of demons invading the Zrochester province must have reached the top three sects and the five great families. So, they could be here anytime now. "Anyway, I have toplete the mission now," Ajax looked at his surroundings for a moment and got an idea to get away from him. ''Since almost everyone seemed exhausted for one hour of fighting with the demons, I can say that I am exhausted and go away from here...haha,'' Ajax smiled as he thought about the n and moved away from the demon army. He didn''t waste any time and informed Edmond as he was the Captain of their mercenary squad. "Ok...move away to a safe distance and take rest," Edmond agreed with Ajax and asked him to take rest; however at the same time, he said something about Ajax with a serious look on his face, "By the way, the way you are fighting haspletely changed and now there is an excited look on your face when you kill the demons." Chapter 492: Top sects true colours

492 Top sect''s true colours

Ajax looked at Edmond and became confused. "Although I am notpletely sure, I feel that you seemed to like the feeling of killing the demon," Edmond exined after seeing the confused look on Ajax''s face. "Yes, I am enjoying it. Whenever I start killing them, I want to kill them more," Ajax now understood what Edmond meant by his earlier words and nodded his head in agreement. "It is good as long as you keep that feeling when you kill the demons and not be addicted to the killing. It is not a good thing for you topletely immerse in the killing. It might cause inner demons in the future," Edmond seriously warned Ajax while pausing his battle with the demons. "Sure, Captain Edmond," Ajax understood what Edmond was saying and nodded his head while agreeing to Edmond''s words. When one waspletely immersed in the killing, they would be unable to stop that thing as it would be a habit. When they don''t find any enemies to kill, they could even kill their own families or those who were close to them. So, Ajax didn''t find anything wrong in Captain Edmond''s warning. "Good," Captain Edmond was satisfied with Ajax''s manners and went back to fight the demons once again. At the same time, he conserved his energy for the third batch of the demon army. Not only Edmond but all Udo, Darbaudr, Blood rose and Rulf did the same thing because that was the true battle for them and if they annihte the third batch as soon as possible, they could go and rest while leaving the second batch to others to fight. "Finally, I can leave now without getting any bad remarks," Ajax muttered in a low voice before slowly moving away from the fight between the demon army and the humans. When a human cultivator or mercenary disappeared from a fight or war, they would be ridiculed as a coward and Ajax wouldn''t want to be branded as a coward when he was going away on a mission. So, Ajax proved himself for an hour and showed his battle prowess while killing as many demons as possible. Now, even if don''t show for the remaining of the battle no one would dare to ridicule him as a coward. He didn''t immediately run away from that ce; instead, he slowly walked for a while and when he was enough distance away from the fight, he summoned Twilight. ''Twilight, don''t roar,'' As soon as he summoned the destructive dragon, he ordered him not to roar as it would give away his location to others. ''Now, go,'' Ajax gave all hismands to Twilight through the voice transmissions and pointed his finger in the direction of the cursed abyss. ''Swoosh'' Twilight silently flew in the direction that Ajax pointed. ¡­.. The way Ajax had fought with the demons earlier seemed to be a very consuming one that made the old guild master wonder how huge his spirit consciousness was. However, when he saw the Ajax had finally left the fighting area, he felt that Ajax only had a little more spirit consciousness capacity whenpared to others. So, the guild master finally heaved a sigh of relief and continued to watch over the battle of Edmond and others with the demon army. ''Why are they taking so long?'' asionally, he nced at the pitch-ck portal and silently thought in his head and wondered about the third batch. .... As Ajax was flying towards the cursed abyss and Edmond and other mercenaries were busy fighting the demon army, something simr to the meeting was going on in three top sects and five great families. Inside the inner grounds of the assassin sect, "So, no one is supposed to go out of the sect, until I order you to move," An old man in a ck robe ordered the kneeling disciples and the bowing elders of the assassin sect in front of him. "Yes, sect leader," All the disciples and elders replied in a unanimous tone making the old man in ck robes nod his head with a satisfied smile on his face. "Good. Now everyone, go back to your works and forget what is going on in the outside of the sect," After saying that the old man, who was called as the sect leader disappeared into thin air. At the Fire sword sect, "Everyone, since I am the temporary sect leader, I have the qualifications to order you, right?" A middle-aged man in histe thirties looked at the group of elders and disciples in front of him and asked with a small smile on his face. "Yes, First elder," Everyone nodded their heads and agreed to the middle-aged man''s words. The middle-aged man was none other than the first elder of the fire sword sect and because the sect leader was inside his cultivation chamber, the first elder became the temporary sect master and had the qualifications to give orders in the fire sword sect. "Good. So, I am ordering everyone not to help the mercenaries against the demon army. Do you understand?" At the end of his sentence, the first elder''s face was very serious that no disciple dared to look straight into his eyes and looked down before nodding their heads. "Now, go back to your works," After looking at the feared looks on their faces, the first elder became satisfied with himself and asked them to disperse. "Brother, are you doing this because of Edmond?" After everyone dispersed, the second elder asked the first elder in a low voice. "Haha...he is just a coward, who is still living because of his son''sst wish and Why do I care about that Coward," Although the first elder said that; however, his face said something different. "I understand, brother," The second elder, Oldins, who came along with the fire sword disciples to the Summoner king''s inheritance ground nodded his head as though he understood it. "Okay fine...Yes, I want him to die in the hands of those demons," The first elder finally gave his true answer when he saw the look on the second elder''s face. "And do you think he will die against a small scale demon invasion?" The second elder shook his head at the thinking of the first elder. "Absolutely not. How can he die against a small scale demon invasion? You must be dreaming. I want him to injure himself against the demons and with that, his progression in the cultivation will be dyed," the first elder revealed a smile as he continued, "I got informed that no other sects were sending the reinforcements to assist those lowly mercenaries." After the second elder returned from the summoner king''s inheritance ground, he informed everything that happened to the first elder which made the first elder very angry. "He is getting more and more powerful and what''s more we can kill him because of that damn sect leader of ours," the first elder became angry as he clenched his fists. Chapter 493: Royal Family

493 Royal Family

"Sigh...I wish I could say it to you; however, I can''t because that damn sect leader made me swear on my spirit consciousness by some mysterious method. If I say it, my spirit consciousness will be immediately shattered," The first elder of the fire sword sect, Kieran bitterly shook his head as he exined the reason why he was unable to say that truth. "Looks like it is moreplex than I thought," Oldins nodded his head and continued, "Okay then, don''t say it, brother." "By the way, how are our disciples'' training going on? Are they ready for the Champions contest?" Soon after that, Kieran asked about their disciples. "Yes, they are training very hard with all the resources of the fire sword sect and moreover, they even started challenging the second level of our battle tower," When exining about their disciples, Nedhor and Vadel, the second elder became excited and he continued exining, "If my guess is right, they might break through into the general realm by the time the champion''s contest is started." "Good," The first elder nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. "Thanks, brother Oldins. You take care of Nedhor as your own disciple. So, I never worried about his cultivation progress when you are looking after them," The first elder thanked the second brother by calling brother. Both of them were blood brothers and they always wanted to take control of the fire sword sect; however, they could not defeat the current set leader as he was way more powerful than they were. So, they never messed with the sect leader. However, recently for the past few years, their sect leader mostly secluded himself in his cultivation chamber and never came out except for some important matters. "No need to thank me, brother," the second elder shook his head before saying in a low voice, "Brother, do you still think we have a chance in talking over this fire sword sect?" "If not for Edmond, we would have already gainedplete control over the fire sword sect," Thinking about the past, the first elder''s face hadpletely filled with hatred towards Edmond. "However, we still have a chance but I am just waiting for a moment. When ites, we will?sit on the sect leader''s seat and order the fire sword sect as our own," Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions and with a hideous smile on his face, the first elder replied to his brother. "I have confidence in you brother. If you have anything you want me to do, please don''t hesitate," The second elder encouraged his brother and showed that he would always help him. "Yes, first elder or should I call you future sect leader?" The second elderughed before taking his leave. "I hope everything goes as we nned, brother," After that, the first elder also returned to his cultivation chamber. Just like what had happened in the fire sword sect and the assassin sect, a simr meeting had urred in thebat king sect and other five great families. However, something different was discussed in the meeting that was held in the Royal family. "Your majesty, ording to the information we got, the top three sects and the five great families decided not to send their reinforcements to aid the mercenaries to fight against the demon army," The trustedmander of the Draton kingdom''s army informed about the information he got to the King while kneeling on a single leg. "What? Are you sure about the information?" The King of the Zrochester province, Stephen king stood up from his throne with a shocked expression on his face and hurriedly asked about the surety of the information. "Yes, your majesty. The information is 100 percent true. What''s more, they even openly dared tomunicate about their actions with one another," Commander Reid nodded his head and exined that all sects were doing this on a purpose. "Damn these sects and families. They are definitely doing this on purpose. Once we lost the trust of the mercenary guild, then we have to do many things for ourselves," Stephen Draton''s face became angry after hearing the words of hismander. ''I should not have closed my eyes when they acted against the hidden families. I think the hidden families are far better than these so-called fame-seeking sects and great families,'' Stephen king looked as though he was regretting some of his past actions and bitterly shook his head. "What happened your majesty. Are you regretting now about the incident that happened a few years ago?" Beside King Stephen, there was an old man with a long beard and golden robe. He chuckled when he saw the regret on the King''s face and asked him. "Old man, I am already very angry. Don''t make me even more than angry," Looking at the mocking expression on the old man''s face, Stephen Draton warned the old man. "I already asked your majesty to do something when the top sects and the great families did their dirty deeds against the hidden families. But, what did you do? Just watched and let the ten hidden families that would not hesitate to give their life for the sake of the human race, to die," However, the old man didn''t have a shred of fear when he saw the King and recalled the past events. "Old man, that''s enough. You can go back to your cultivation chamber and rest now," Stephen king ordered the old man to leave him and go back to his cultivation chamber. "I know that facts will always be salty; However, only when you ept them, you can be sessful. Otherwise, you will be remembered as another foolish king in history," After saying his words the old man left the room and went back to his cultivation chamber. "Your majesty?" Commander Reid became shocked after hearing the words of the old man, who was known as the cleverest person in the entire kingdom. "Don''t take that old man''s words seriously. Lately he has gone insane and talking some non-sense," Except for the old man and few other royal family''s old cultivators, no one knows about what the royal family had done to the hidden families. So, King Stephen said that the old man was just talking some non-sense. "Yes, your majesty. I understood," Commander Ried nodded his head as though he understood something that he had never imagined about the royal family. However, he knew what the royal family was capable of and to what extent they would go to protect their secrets. So, he acted nonchntly. However, inside his heart, all the loyalty he had towards the royal family waspletely shattered. "Yes, you better understand it; otherwise, you know what will happen, right?" Stephen Draton''s voice became serious all of a sudden that made the Commander Reid shiver. ****** Chapter 494: Royal family Shadows

494 Royal family Shadows

From his childhood, he looked up to the royal family and how it governs the Zrochester province and takes care of its subject. Because of that single reason he had joined the military and with his merits in the military, he quickly grew in ranks and finally gained the Commander that only takes orders from the King himself. However, after listening to the old man''s words, Commander Reid felt scorn towards the royal family. ''Sigh...but I can''t do anything against the royal family because of my family,'' If he didn''t have a family, Commander Reid would not be still kneeling in front of the King; instead, he would have left from the royal pce once and would have thought about something to take the royal family down. "By the way, Commander Reid, did you send reinforcements for assisting the mercenaries against the demon army?" Stephen Draton was satisfied withmander Reid''s words and asked him about the reinforcements. "I already sent them before I came here, your majesty," While answering to the King, the earlier respect in his voice was no longer present inmander Reid''s words. "Good. You can go back and continue to monitor the actions of the top three sects and the five great families," Stephen Draton waved his hand at Commander Reid to leave. "Yes, your majesty," Commander Reid nodded his head and left from the chamber. Two years ago, Commander Reid''s duty had been changed from the attacking division to the secret division and he was in charge of keeping an eye on the three top sects and the five great families. ''I always that they are the only treacherous ones; however, I didn''t expect I am working for an even more treacherous one,'' While leaving the chamber, Commander Reid bitterly shook his head. Soon, he left the chamber and now, there was only King Stephen Draton was left in the meeting chamber. ''p p'' As soon as themander Reid left the meeting chambers, King Stephen Draton pped his hands two times and a masked man, who waspletely in ck attire appeared out of nowhere. "Your majesty. What should I do now?" As soon as he appeared, he kneeled on a single leg and asked the King with a respectful tone. "Keep an eye on him and ask your subordinates to keep an eye on his family. As long as you feel that he is revealing anything that he heard here today, then you know what to do, right?" Stephen Draton calmly ordered the masked man. "You can rx now, your majesty. I will take care of him," The masked man gave his word and disappeared into the shadows. "With the Royal family shadows keeping an eye on you, let''s see what you can do now...Haha," Stephen Dratonughed and stood up from his throne and walked into the distance. Because only Commander Reid had ess to the secret spies in the various sects and families and if he killed him, the royal family could not get any information about those sects and families. ''However, from now on, he knows that I will keep an eye on his and his family members'' actions. So, he will not dare to do anything funny,'' King Stephen lightly chuckled as he went to his cultivation chambers. ...¡­. Outside the royal pce, ''He will definitely not kill me nor harm my family members for now as it will do the royal family more harm than me spreading what I have heard earlier; however, it won''t help me in the long run. I need to find something before the royal family feels I am no longer useful to them.'' After leaving the royal meeting chambers, Commander Reid silently thought in his head before looking back at the royal pce with a hint of disgust on his face. "Commander Reid, what happened?" Asmander Reid was busy in his thoughts about his future ns, he heard a group of military men wereing towards him. "Hello, youngmen. How are you all," Looking at the young men in front of him, Commander Reid''s previous disgust hadpletely disappeared and was reced with a smile. Because the young men in front of him were none other than his half-students, whom he had taught about fighting techniques and military tactics. All the young men were donned in the same military attire that made them look like they were from the same squad in the army. "We are fine, Commander Reid. But you looked somewhat differentpared to the time when you taught us...Haha," A young man in military attire jokingly replied to themander Reid. "It''s because I became old and I can''t even make you young men fear me like old days," Commander Reid said with the same smile on his face. "Nomander Reid. We still fear you," another young man with the same military attire replied to Commander Reid in a polite smile. "Haha...you must be joking. Even though you are saying that you still dare to joke with this old man," Commander Reid replied to the young men and all of a sudden, he turned back as he felt someone was observing him. However, he didn''t see anyone in that direction and raised his brows. "Commander Reid, what happened?" "Is something wrong?" "Although we are notparable to your level, we can still try to help you," Looking at the expression on the face of Commander Reid, all the military youngmen hurriedly asked him. "No, nothing. It''s just that I am bing old...Haha," Although Commander Reid had an idea about what was happening, he didn''t say anything to the military youngmen as he didn''t want these young men to implicate in his issues. "Are you sure,mander Reid?" the leader of the military youngmen asked Reid as he felt there was definitely something going on with his teacher. "It''s nothing. Anyway, I have an important matter to attend to. Okay youngmen, carry on with your work," Soon, Commander Reid bid his goodbyes and left from that ce. "Brother, don''t you think he is lying?" One of the young men had asked the leader of the group. "Of course, he is lying. When we have seen him behave like that? There definitely something wrong with Commander Reid," The leader of the group replied tas he looked in the direction, themander Reid had seen earlier. "So, shouldn''t we help him? You know, how much he has helped us back then, right?" "If not for him, we wouldn''t?be here and joined the military," "Yes, brother. We have to do something to help me," One after another the four young men asked the leader of the group because he was the strongest and intelligent one among all the five members. "Let''s help but first, we have to find out what is the problem?" The leader of the group also knew that they owedmander Reid big time and decided to help themander Reid from the problem, which they still have to find. ****** Chapter 495: The choosen one

495 The choosen one

Commander Reid Knew about Naethan and what he would do; however, he hoped that he would not do something reckless in an attempt to help him. ''Damn this...somebody''s watching me from the shadows. Only one power can do that. I need to hurry up,'' Commander Reid didn''t want to alert the person that was watching him. So, he casually went to do his routine work in order not to raise any suspicions; however, in his mind, various thoughts and ns were continuously made to save his and his family members'' lives before the royal family made their move. .... The Guild Master, Rulf and other mercenaries, who were expecting a back up from the top three sects and the five great families didn''t know that they were not getting any reinforcements from them except for a loyal team under Commander Reid. "My essence of nature ispletely used up. I need a small break," "I can still hold onto another 10 more minutes until then you can recover," "I have around 30 percent of the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness. So, those who want to take rest can take it now," All the mercenaries killed the demons with their fellow squad members. So, they have better coordination with one another. Moreover, they backed up each other''s backs and allowed their weakened squad member to take some rest to recover their essence of nature. Simr things happened in each and every squad in which their strongest squad members helped their weakest squad members. "Why are they taking so long?" The old guild master, who was looking at the battle between mercenaries and the demons felt something was not right when they still didn''t get the reinforcements from the other powers of the Zrochester province. "Guild master, if this goes on, my spirit consciousness will bepletely depleted by the time the third batch of the demon army arrives," Rulf came out of the demon army and said to the guild master while grasping for some air. "I know. Just save at least 40 percent of your essence of nature; otherwise, I need to enter the fight. And you want what will happen if I enter the fight, right?" The guild master looked at nearly 1000 demons in the demon army as he asked Rulf. "Yes, Guild master. I know," All of a sudden, Rulf became serious and nodded his head as he knew the consequences of the guild master entering the fight. ''Although, we might win this small scare demon invasion; however, the guild master needs even more time to heal his injuries and that would make the mercenary guild invulnerable,'' Rulf silently thought about the consequences in his head. "I will do as you say, guild master," Rulf nodded his head before asking, "Why are the reinforcements taking too much time?" It had been hours since Edmond had sent the information to the Guild master and who in turn sent it to the mercenary guild building to inform all the top sects, great families and royal families. So, just like the guild master, Rulf also sensed something was wrong with reinforcements, which were supposed to join them already. "Haha...what happened to you, guild master? You are still waiting for the reinforcements?" Before the guild master could give a reply to Rulf, Edmond came out of the demon army to take a short break from the killing while asking the guild master about the reinforcement with a loudugh. "Edmond, stop it. Do you think it is funny? Do you know, if we don''t stop the final demon batch, they will kill not only us but all the humans, who were living near the cursed wilderness," Rulf became angry at Edmond as he shouted at him. "And do you think I am joking with you?" Edmond stoppedughing and became serious all of a sudden and said, "This should be the result of cing your trust in those so-called sects and great families, who want nothing but power to rule the entire Zrochester province." ''...'' The old guild master was unable to retort his words because he knew what he was saying were the facts. "You" Rulf, for the first time in his life, saw the guild master stay silent when someone was arguing with him and clenched his fist. "Rulf, what he said are the facts that I can''t retort. But I still believed them because they have the power to change the fate of the Zrocehster province," The guild master patted the shoulder of Rulf and agreed to Edmond''s words and said his reason for believing those top powers of the Zrocherster province. "If only there was a high-level human cultivator that truly cared for humanity and merged all those powers into one, then that would have helped us in bing as strong as the Ylercester province," The guild master shook his head while saying that. "Bring them together? They are evil to the core and it is impossible for them to unite and be a single power," Edmond shook his head and disagreed with the guild master. "You think you know many things but you still don''t understand all of them, Edmond," The guild master looked at Edmond before saying, "What if a king level cultivator emerges and forces all the top powers into one? There is still a possibility of that happening and don''t forget it has happened in the past and it will happen once again." "Whatever. As long as everything goes as I expected, then I don''t have anything to worry about," Edmond left after saying those words and started attacking the demon army. "Guild master, this Edmond is bing more and more brazen," Rulf looked at Edmond''s attitude andined to the guild master. "Let him be. Edmond is one of those who have the power to change the fate of the Zrochester province. So, there is nothing wrong in him behaving like this," The old guild masterughed as he exined, "Don''t forget the role of a chosen one from the hidden families. The more he denies in helping the Zrochester province, that much higher his help will be to our Zrochester province." "He better helps the Zorchester province; otherwise, I will show him what I can do," Rulf scoffed while looking at Edmond, who was killing the demon servants and demon generals with a simple sh from his sword. "Haha...don''t make meugh, Rulf," The guild master could not help butugh when he heard Rulf''s words. "What happened now?" Rulf became irritated and asked with an annoyed look on his face. "As I said earlier, you can''t do anything to him. Even though he looks less powerful than you, he can kill you without any difficulty." "Huh?" Rulf raised his brows as he looked at the guild master for an exnation. ****** Chapter 496: Guild masters assumption

496 Guild master''s assumption

Moreover, earlier when the demon chief was about to kill Edmond, he was the one who saved Edmond and killed the demon chief. So, when he heard the old guild master''s words, Rulf felt it was not true. "Okay then, let me exin," The guild masterpletely knew about Rulf and if he doesn''t rify now, it would be an inner demon for him. So, he chose to exin to him about Edmond''s secret trump cards. "First, he has his family''s heirloom, the crystal sword, which can increase its grades along with its owner," "Second, he has 10 different secret techniques from all the 10 hidden families. Although he can only use 2-3 techniques before his essence of nature runs out, he can seriously injure you before that," "What?" Rulf became shocked with the two reasons that the old guild master had given. ''Even though that crystal sword is not powerful enough to kill me now; however, in the future, when its level increases to mythical grade then I will not have a chance against him. Moreover, if he uses the two or three secret techniques in synchronization, then I will be seriously injured,'' Rulf silentlypared the two reasons that the old guild master had said about Edmond. ''I guess, I found a nice rival in my cultivation journey,'' Nevertheless, Rulf was excited because now he found a rival for him to fight with. ''p'' "It''s not over yet," The old guild master pped Rulf on the back of his head and brought him back to reality. ''Ahem'' The guild master cleared his voice before saying, "It is only my assumption that there is a high chance of Edmond being a summoner." He said those words in a very low-voice making Rulf puzzled. "Why? Do you have any reason for that assumption?" Rulf didn''tugh when he heard those words as he saw the serious look on the guild master''s face and he could guess that the guild master was not messing with his thoughts. "It is my gut feeling that Edmond has one or two powerful elemental spirits but he refuses to summon them in front of anyone as though he is nning something big in the near future," The old guild master didn''t stop there but continued, "And since we already knew that he was the chosen one of the hidden families, I think the fate of the Zrochester province is going to change when he acts." "Guild master, don''t forget that they are your assumptions," Rulf shook his head as he thought the guild master had some reason for stating that Edmond was a summoner; however, when he heard his words, Rulf didn''t take his words seriously. "Whatever, all I am saying is that don''t unnecessarily fight with him and injure yourself," The old guild master didn''t bother to convince Rulf as he was only giving him a piece of advice. ''I forgot to say, you are also one of the persons, I believe that can change the fate of the Zrochester province,'' After Rulf left, the guild master silently thought in his head with a light smile on his face. ''Stephen Draton, at least send your army to assist us; otherwise, I will try my best in taking down you and your royal family at any cost,'' Soon, his thoughts came back to the reinforcements and silently swore in his heart. Since he had already lost hope in the top three sects and five great families, he at least wanted the royal family to send their army because if the mercenaries failed in defending the demon army, then there would be casualties in the towns and viges that were near to the cursed wilderness. A king should protect hisnd and his subjects. So, the guild master hoped that at least the royal family would not disappoint him. ''Time is running out and the mercenaries could not hold much longer,'' Looking at the mercenaries, who were almost exhausted, the guild master shook his head. Due to the exhaustion of the mercenaries, they were unable to defend the attacks from the demons and even got injured before they were rescued by the other mercenaries. In between, the guild master also helped some of the mercenaries that were about to be killed by the demons. ''If this continues, all the mercenaries will have to give up before the third batch of the demon armyes,'' the Guild master started to feel anxious looking at the one-sided fight with the demon army. Edmond, Rulf, Blood rose, Udo and Darbaudr were not having any problem as they were using only skills and techniques that consumed less essence of nature. But still, they could notpletely kill all the demons in the demon army as this army was more powerful and the first batch of the demon army that Ajax had destroyed with the help of his summons. ... While Edmond and others were fighting the demons army in the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax was flying towards the cursed abyss with Twilight. ''Map'' Ajax silently thought in his head and soon a map appeared in front of him. Along with that, aplete mini-version of the cursed abyss appeared in it and he quickly checked the location of the dimensional crevice. ''Here it is. Twilight, this side¡­.now fly towards your left with your full speed'' As soon as found it, he guided the destructive dragon towards those coordinates at his fastest speed. It didn''t take much time for the dragon to reach the exact coordinates of the dimensional crevice. ''Twilightnd here,'' Ajax asked the dragon tond some distance away from the entrance of the dimensional crevice because he saw someone there. On the ground, There were 10 demon generals, who looked as though they were searching for something in that area. "Why is the demon king, making us search for the entrance of a dimension crevice in this vast cursed abyss?" A peak level 9 demon general asked another demon general with the peak level 10 demon general realm strength, who was beside him. "Idiot, just do what you are supposed to do," The peak general realm demon scolded the demon general, who talked first. "But, isn''t finding an entrance to the dimensional crevice is the most difficult thing to do in the cursed abyss. Moreover, we still didn''t know whether the dimensional crevice had an owner or not" Another level 10 demon general supported the demon general, who started asking the questions, first. "If you want to die, then stop your search back and report it to the demon king," the leader of the demon group shook his head and didn''t bother about his subordinates; however, he continued to search for the entrance of the dimensional crevice. "Sigh...you know we can''t do that," The rest of the demon generals shook their heads as they also continued to search for the entrance. ****** Chapter 497: Poison domain

497 Poison domain

"It''s a dragon. Everyone, move away from here," "Everyone, disperse," "Idiot, what are you still staring at? Do you want to die that badly?" As soon as everyone watched the iing dragon, they immediately moved away from their ce; however, the demon general, who pointed at the sky was still looking at the dragon and didn''t try to move away from them. ''Swoosh'' "Got you," ''Boom'' Just as the dragon was about to crash into that demon general, the leader of the group used his fastest movement technique and saved the demon general, who froze to the ground for some unknown reason. As soon as the dragon crashed into the ground, a huge booming sound came and that ce was entirely covered with the dust from the crash. "Volcanis, Bane, you two, take care of them," The demon generals were still in a state of shock and were unable to react in time when they saw two elemental spiritse out of the dust-filled area and started attacking them. ''ng'' ''sh'' Even though they were unable to react, all the demon generals have the cultivation of above level 6. Moreover, the two elemental spirits were yet to reach the general realm. So, they were able to stop the iing attacks from the two elemental spirits without much difficulty. "Volcanis, Bane, looks like you''re still unable to take on the high-level demon generals," A young man in a purple robe jumped from the back of the dragon and while calmly walking towards the leader of this demon generals'' group, he said to the fire elemental spirit. The young man was none other than Ajax, who ordered the destructive twilight dragon tond on the group of demon generals. "Although I can''t do anything to a group of demon generals, I can still kill a single high-level demon general, Summoning master," The fire elemental spirit was none other than Volcanis, who was at the peak elite spiritmander realm replied to Ajax in a deep voice. As soon as he finished his words, Volcanic'' body waspletely engulfed in the bright red-mes and along with the sword in his hands. ''ng'' ''Die'' All of a sudden, Volcanis started to fight with one of the demon generals with his full power. ''Looks like his inferno skill is bing powerful with each use or it has something to do with his challenge in the second room of the battle tower. Anyway, as long as his battle prowess increases that is good for me,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he stopped some distance away from the leader of the demon generals'' group. "Bane, I want to see how your poison domain works on these demon generals," Next, he looked at Bane, who was using his poison scythe to fight a demon general and asked him to use histest skill, poison domain. "Hehe...yes summoning master," Bane revealed an eerie smile as he nodded his head. ''Poison Domain, activate'' Bane dodged an attack from the demon general and immediately activated his ''Poison domain'' ''Shh'' As soon as he activated, a thin barrier covered all the demon generals along with Ajax and Volcanis in it. With Bane as the centre, the barrier covered an entire area of the 10-meter radius. ''Huh?'' Except for the two demon generals that were fighting Volcanis and Bane, all the remaining demon generals frowned when the poison domain covered them. "Everyone, consume the poison resistant pills," the leader of the demon generals hurriedly ordered his subordinates to consume the poison resistant pills. After hearing their leader''s words, they immediately took out the poison resistant pills from their space rings and consumed them. However, the two demon generals were unlucky as they didn''t have the time to consume poison resistant pills because they were fighting with Volcanis and Bane. Although it didn''t harm those two demon generals much, the poison domain decreased the battle prowess that made them powerless against the powerful attacks of the two elemental spirits. ''Phi'' ''Kacha'' Volcanis used his fire sword to cleave at one of the two poisoned demon generals whereas Bane used his poison scythe along with the level 2 scythe dao to kill the other demon general. Although both the elemental spirit, Vocanis and Bane were not in the elemental spirit general realms, with their passive skills like ''King of fire'' ''Way of poison'', their skills'' attack power was increased to another level that could do damage to the general realm cultivators. Moreover, those two demon generals were affected by the poison domain and their speed and battle prowess were reduced. ''Ding, Two demon generals are killed by the host''s elemental spirits. Gained 1000 (x 2) units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness ispletely full. Please be careful when you kill the enemies from now on. As soon as both of his elemental spirits killed the two demon generals, he got two system notifications in which one of them was notified about his kills and gained the essence of nature while the other one was a warning about his spirit consciousness being full. ''Sigh...when there is a need, I don''t have any essence of nature; however, now, it is filling up without much difficulty,'' Ajax sighed as he looked at the two dead demon generals. "What are you looking at? Don''t you want to avenge your fallen teammates?" After sighing for a moment at his spirit consciousness, he looked at the other demon generals and scoffed at them. ''Don''t attack. Although he only have a level 1 elitemander realm strength, I feel a bad premonition regarding him,'' In response to Ajax''s words, the leader of the group hurriedlymunicated with his subordinates through voice transmission and ordered them not to attack Ajax yet. ''But, why?'' One of the demon generals asked the main demon general. It was not only his question but all the other demon generals question. So, they all looked at their leader for an answer. ''Just think. Why will a human with only level 1 elitemander realm strengthe here and confront us? With his strength he can''t kill any one of us; however, he summoned two elemental spirits, whose strength is lower than us and still killed two of us,'' the main demon general slowly exined about his assumptions and continued, ''In short, he might have other powerful elemental spirits or he might be hiding his own strength by some kind of cultivation technique. So, don''t be reckless and attack him like fools which might get you killed before you even know what is happening.'' Saying until here, the main demon general looked at Ajax with a serious expression. ****** Chapter 498: Instakill

498 Instakill

''Also, how can he train his two elemental spirits to have such a terrifying attacking power?'' All the high-level demon generals valued their life very much. Even if there was a small probability of them dying in a fight against someone, they would directly escape. Just like how Edmond was unable to kill an elite demon general in the past but kill him in the fight a few hours ago. He killed that elite demon general before he could even think about his defeat. So, Edmond was able to kill him. Here, the main demon general still thinks that, if he wants to escape, that human could not stop him. That''s why he was still waiting for a chance to kill him and waited for that human to show his other trump cards. "Huh? Still noting? Looks like, what I heard about demons is true. They don''t have any emotions even towards their friends and family," Ajax mocked all the demon generals in a single line before continuing, "Fine then, if you don''t make a move, I will initiate that move." After saying that, with a smirk on his face, Ajax looked at each and every demon generals before loudly saying, "Monkey, Red kitty, ck kitty and Lynx,e out and stretch your muscles a bit." ''What? He still has four more elemental spirits?'' The main demon general was shocked by Ajax''s words and without any hesitation, he thought of escaping from here. Not only him, but all the remaining demon generals also felt the same and thought of escaping. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' Soon the four rank 5 spirit beast appeared in front of him and roared at the demon generals, who were thinking of escaping. ''Huh? Only a low and medium-level rank 5 spirit beast? Phew...it seems, I felt anxiousness over nothing,'' However, as soon as he saw the four spirit beasts in front of him, his thoughts about escaping vanished into thin air as he heaved a sigh of relief. Just like him, all the other demon generals also heaved a sigh of relief as they have enough confidence in killing the summoner spirit beasts. "Do you have any more elemental spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to summon?" The main demon generalughed at Ajax before being acting mysterious from his arrival. "Actually, I have three powerful contracted spirit beasts and an elemental spirit; however, those three spirit beasts are on a mission whereas the elemental spirit is injured and still resting," Ajax didn''t feel angry at all when the demon general mocked him because he had enough confidence in defeating all the demon general and that''s the reason why he decided to confront the demon generals. "You" All the demon generals were unable to control their anger anymore and rushed towards Ajax. How could a high-level demon general endure a mocking from a level 1 elitemander realm human? So, before their leader could give his order, they already rushed at Ajax. ''Let''s see how you will survive now...Haha'' Once the main demon general knew that Ajax was no longer a threat, he didn''t bother to stop his subordinates anymore and let them kill Ajax. "Since I am in a hurry to go away from this ce, I will not y with you guys for much longer. All of you, select one demon general and try to kill them in a short time possible," Looking at the seven iing demon generals, Ajax said in a serious tone and immediately ordered his summons to attack the iing demon generals. As for the main demon general, he didn''t move from his ce as he felt it would be an overkill if he also attacked Ajax. ''Yes, summoning master,'' ''Roar roar'' When they heard Ajax''s orders, all the summoned creatures replied to him in their ownnguage before selecting a demon general and starting their fight with them. Volcanis picked the strongest one from the iing demon generals with peak level 9 general realm strength and Bane picked a level 7 demon general. As for the four rank 5 spirit beasts they picked the remaining level 6 demon generals. "Since your leader wants to watch the fight, then let me entertain him by fighting you," Ajax picked thest iing level 8 demon general. "You will not have that much time to fight me because I will kill you in a single strike," that demon general took out his huge sword and cleaved at Ajax while scoffing at him. "Haha...good joke," When he heard the demon general''s words, Ajax could not help butugh and nodded his head while praising the demon general for his joke. Ajax didn''t even move from his ce and allowed the demon general to cleave at him. ''Spatial des'' However, just when the huge sword was about tond on him, Ajax casually took two steps towards the demon general and used his ''Spatial des'' skill by cing his hands on the chest of the demon general. Since the demon general was already in motion, he was unable to stop his attack and at the same time could not stop Ajax from cing his hands on him. ''Boom'' A huge explosion urred as the demon general''s body was sted into pieces and the ck blood from the demon general''s body sttered everyone. That demon general didn''t have any time to cry in pain before he was sted by Ajax''s spatial des ''Ding, 5000 units of the essence of nature are consumed in using the spatial des. ''Ding, Killed a demon general Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. As usual, the system sent the battle report for him to check; however, he didn''t bother to check them as he already knew about them. ''Spatial des of 5000 units of the essence of nature are truly great. I wonder how powerful it will be if I use 10000 units of the essence of nature,'' Ajax didn''t feel any pity towards the demon general and marvelled at the power of his spatial des with a huge amount of essence of nature. "How is it possible?" All the demon generals paused their battle and were shocked by the death of their teammate in a single attack. "Everyone, be careful. He is hiding his true strength. Kill his summons as soon as possible and we kill him bybining our forces and consume him," The main demon general immediately ordered his subordinates to finish Ajax''s summons as soon as possible and then they joined together to kill him. "Good luck then. I won''t move from here and wait for you to kill my summons," Ajax looked at the main demon general and challenged him before sitting on the ground. Chapter 499: Demon smash

499 Demon smash

The main demon general raised his brows and looked at Ajax''s confidence levels and then looked at his own teammates. "You heard him. Don''t embarrass me and kill those summons of his and afterwards let''s kill him," The main demon general only had a bad premonition when he looked at Ajax and as for his summons, the main demon general didn''t feel anything. So, he asked his teammates to kill them soon. "Yes, Captain," All the demon generals clenched their fists before looking at the spirit beasts and elemental spirit in front of them and replied to the main demon general in unison. "By the way, I give you permission to use your high-level heaven grade weapons. So, don''t hold back," Before they started fighting, the main demon general said something that made the other demon generals excited and at the same time, Ajax raised his brows. Other than the leader of the demon kings, all the other demon kings have main teams just like the one in front of Ajax now. These teams were led by a leader and depending on the strength of that leader, he could recruit his nine sub-ordinates. The strength of these leaders range from the peak general realm to the peak elite general realm and they have toplete the missions given by their demon king. Their main duty was simr to the duties of the apostles under the leader of the demon kings; however,?they were much weaker than them. Even the weakest demon apostle could kill the strongest leader under the other demon kings. The teams led by the leaders under the normal demon kings had a set of rules and regtions that they were not supposed to use their weapons whenever they wanted. They should only use the weapon given to them when the team leader ordered them to use it. "It''s been such a long time, I used my demon axe. Finally, now I got the chance to use it again," "Yes, my sword is also thirsty for some blood," "Your weapon is only thirsty but my weapon wants to eat them alive" As soon as the demon generals heard the order of their captain, they became shocked at first and then became excited. Without any dy in time, they took out the weapons that were stored in their space rings and excitedly spoke with one another. Soon, Ajax saw some powerful looking weapons in the hands of the six demon generals'' hands. ''Huh? These weapons look evil and dangerous,'' Ajax could only use the word ''Evil'' to describe those weapons because just seeing them made him feel like he had to be careful with them. ''Two short swords, one battle axe, three heavy swords,'' Ajax slowly looked at the weapons in their hands andmunicated with his summons through the voice transmission, ''Everone, be careful and use your full power to take them down.'' However, Ajax continued to mock them as he wanted to increase their unknown fear towards him even more. That''s right! He was using that tactic from the beginning. Because of that, not only the demon generals but the main demon general was also having some unknown fear towards him. Moreover, with the instakill from the earlier incident, that fear towards him increased even more. That''s the reason why they were still not attacking him and aiming for his summons. "Damn you brat. Just wait a couple of minutes and we will kill you," "Don''t worry, after killing your summons, we will send you to them," "For a human of your age, you speak a lot, kid," When they heard Ajax''s mocking words, the three demon generals with the heavy swords rushed at their respective targets and started attacking them. "As I said earlier, try your best," Ajax revealed a small smile on his face and inside his heart he thought, ''Do you think, only you have trump cards...Haha.'' After those three demon generals, the remaining three demon generals also rushed towards their chosen targets with their high-level heaven grade weapons. Soon, the fight between the demon generals and Ajax''s summons had begun whereas Ajax and the main demon general were looking at the fight and in between, they nced at each other as though they were keeping an eye on each other. ''Swoosh'' Volcanis, in his inferno form, defended the attacks from the demon general, who had a heavy sword, with his own fire sword. In between, he also cast the fire asteroids and the fireball skills to distract the demon general; however, that demon general didn''t even bother to dodge the fireball and fire asteroids that were falling from the sky. Instead, he casually used his heavy sword to block them and continued to attack Volcanis. In overall, Volcanis barely able to maintain a stalemate with that demon general using his other skills. ''Viper, go'' At the other side, Bane looked at the demon general with a short sword and summoned his rank 4 spirit beast, Viper. Although Viper is only a rank 4 spirit beast, it''s poison and speed wasparable to the rank 5 or general realm cultivators. It rushed at the demon general at an incredible speed and yed with the demon general; however, the demon general didn''t bother with the small snake and attacked Bane. With the Poison domain and the poison mist covering the demon general, Bane was in a slightly better positionpared to Volcanis; however, he was still barely able to defend the attacks of the demon general. "Roar," Aside from the two elementals, the four rank 5 spirit beasts fought with the demon generals just like how beasts fight. It was a very dirty fight that Ajax barely understood what was happening. All he could say that his spirit beasts were in a disadvantage position against the demon generals with the heaven grade weapons. ''ck yetis, use your innate skill ''Demon smash'','' Ajax immediately asked the ck yetis to use his innate skill which was a bane against the demons. In the five elemental worlds, Ajax checked the skills of all his newly contracted spirit beasts and he remembered only a few of them. ''Demon smash'' was one among them which was very powerful against the demons. Ajax didn''t know which attribute this newly contracted spirit beast belongs to; however, after checking the ck yetis status page, he could guess that he was the natural predator of the demons as most of its skills were powerful against the demons. ''That''s the reason why it is still able to fight against a level 6 demon general with its low-level rank 6 strength,'' Ajax silent thought and he had many expectations towards that innate skill of the ck yetis. ''Roar'' As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, the ck yetis roared at the sky and like an angry king kong, it rushed towards the demon general with the heavy sword. ''Die you lowly beast,'' The demon general also rushed towards the ck yetis with his weapon while cursing it. ''You can do it, Monkey,'' Ajax clenched his first as he silently muttered to himself while looking at the ck yetis. Chapter 500: Great Demon Fiend

500 Great Demon Fiend

A huge booming sound came when both of them collided with their powerful attacks. Along with the huge sound, both of them were flung away by the impact of the collision. ''What a powerful collision,'' Ajax was shocked by the impact after the collision which made all the other demon generals and Ajax''s summons to stop their fighting. ''Cough cough'' Soon, the demon general took the support of his heavy sword to stand up from the ground while coughing the ck blood from his mouth. "Haha...a mindless beast wants to fight with me with crude strength. What a joke!" After standing up from the ground he casually nced at the ck yetis, which was on the ground without moving and startedughing. ''Monkey, wake up,'' Ajax became anxious when he saw the ck yetis was unconscious and hurriedly tried to wake it up. "What''s the matter? You look worried now," the demon general looked at Ajax''s worried face and mocked him, "Oh right! It sure looks like it''s dead." While saying that, the demon general moved towards the unconscious ck yetis. ''Cough cough'' Just as the demon general took two steps forwards, the unconscious ck yetis started coughing and opened his eyes. "Huh? You are still alive? No problem, I will kill you now...Haha," the demon general was surprised for a moment before starting hisughs one again. ''That''s it, Monkey. You did great. Now, you can go back to the inner world and take the rest,'' Ajax hurriedly tried to summon its back into his inner world. When he heard the demon general''s words, Ajax''s first thought was to send the ck yetis back into the inner world; however, who would have thought that the ck yetis shook its head as though he doesn''t want to go back into the inner world yet. ''Huh? These eyes...'' Before Ajax couldplete his words, he saw the ck yetis'' eyes turn into the pitch ck and he was surprised. "Master, let meplete my innate skill ''Demon smash''," Along with that, Ajax was shocked by the fluent human speech from the ck yetis'' mouth. "What? Didn''t you use that skill already?" Ajax suppressed his shocks and asked the ck yetis. "No...Hehe," An eerie smile appeared on the ck yetis'' face and looked at the demon general after replying to Ajax. "Huh?" When the demon general saw the look on the ck yetis'' face, he halted in his steps and unconsciously took a couple of steps back as though he had seen something terrible. "Where are you going? Let me send you to hell first," Looking at the anxious demon general, the ck yetis'' eerie smile became even broader on his face and he causally snapped his fingers. ''Boom'' As soon as the ck yetis snapped his fingers, the anxious demon general''s entire body was sted and the ck blood was sttered everywhere. "What? How can he do that?" "What is that skill" "He casually snapped and sted one of ours just like that," All the demon generals, who were watching the fight between the ck yetis and the demon general with the short sword from the time they heard the huge explosion didn''t expect that their teammate would die just like that. ''He...he is a Demon Fiend?'' Unlike the demon generals, the main demon general noticed something and immediately raised his brows. ''Should I escape from here? If he fully awakened his bloodline, then there is no way, I can kill it,'' The main demon general would not be able to forget this day because he had witnessed something that was a bane to their race and the only thought in his head was to escape from here because he felt he could not defeat the ck yetis. ''Thud'' Just before he could conclude his thoughts and was about to escape, the main demon general noticed that the ck yetis had fallen onto the ground with a ''thud''. ''Is this my lucky day or what? Phew¡­,'' The main demon general once again cancelled his escape ns. He felt it was a blessing in disguise and continued thinking, ''If I could consume its body, then I will definitely have a chance of bing a demon apostle.'' For some reason, the main demon general looked at the copsed ck yetis'' body on the ground and his eyes shone with greed. "Huh? What is happening?" Ajax, who didn''t know the ns of the main demon general, hurriedly rushed towards the unconscious ck yetis with a worried expression. ''Ding, A demon general is killed by the host''s contracted spirit beast. Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast has awakened the ''Great demon fiend'' bloodline and it is currently assimting the newly awakened bloodline into its own. So, the host need not worry and summon it back into the inner world. As Ajax was trying to wake the ck yetis from its sleep, he received a sudden system notification that made him relieved. ''Take rest and get familiar with your new bloodline,'' Compared to the newly awakened bloodline by the ck yetis, Ajax was happier when he thought that the ck yetis was fine and it was not in any kind of danger. Soon, Ajax summoned the ck yetis back into the inner world and slowly stood up and angrily looked at the main demon general and all the other demon generals who were fighting his other summons. "Okay then, Now I don''t want to waste any more time," Ajax slowly walked towards the main demon general who had the strength around level 10 general realm. "Yes. I am also in a hurry. So, let''s fight along with them," When he saw that Ajax summoned back the ck yetis back into his spirit consciousness (ording to the main demon general) the main demon general was even more eager now. ''I have to get that body and consume it at any cost,'' the main demon general silently muttered in his head and looked at his sub-ordinates before saying, "What are you doing without killing them. Do it and assist me sooner. Until then I will try to kill human brat." Even though Ajax''s cultivation was way lower than his own cultivation, the main demon general doesn''t want to take any kind of risk even after seeing one of his sub-ordinates were sted by Ajax. So, he ordered his sub-ordinates to quickly finish off Ajax''s summons and wanted them to assist him in killing Ajax. "Yes, captain," The sudden death of two of their fellow teammates made the rest of the demon generals very serious and they didn''t want to take Ajax and his summons lightly anymore and took out the rage potion from their space rings and consumed them without any hesitation. "Aarrgh" As soon as they consumed the rage potion, they let out some ferocious shouts before rushing at their specific targets. ''Boosting your strength with the rage potions? Fine then, I will use my rage potion to increase the strength of my summons,'' Ajax scoffed at the main demon general and silently said, ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' ****** Chapter 501: Powerful Skills

501 Powerful Skills

Without wasting any more time, Ajax used his bloodline with a smirk on his face. As soon as he activated it, the aura around him changed and it increased his strength by the factor of two. "Now, let''s see what you lowly demons can do," Ajax continued to mock them as his smile on his face increased. Not only his strength, the elemental spirits and the spirit beasts'' strength also increased. Vonis and Bane didn''t waste any more time as they knew that the boost they received was only for a limited time and they knew very clearly that they have to finish their target before the boost goes off. ''Fire asteroids'' ''Boom boom'' Volcanis used his fire asteroid which was much more powerfulpared to before and the number of asteroids was also doubled with the boost from the Abyssal beast god bloodline. Before the demon general could react, the fire asteroids crashed onto him and sted him off. "I will finish you with my first skill," Even though he was sted by the fire asteroids, Volcanis could sense that the demon general still didn''t die. So, with a thought, he summoned a fireball with his first skill before saying to the severely injured demon general. The fireball in front of Volcanis waspletely different from what it used to be. When Ajax formed the contract with Volcanis, his fireball was orange colour; however, after increasing his strength and break through to themander realm, that fireball changed into light-purple colour. Now, after the fight with the hell cerberus, the fireball turned into a pitch ck. ''Swoosh'' After saying his words to the demon general, the pitch-ck coloured fireballnded on the demon general and turned him into ashes. ''Five elemental poison'' ''Swoosh'' As for Bane, he kept away his poison scythe and took out his new weapon the ''Five elemental poison'' and casually threw at the iing demon general. ''Way of the poison, do your thing now,'' Bane used his hands and made some symbols with his fingers and the orb of the five elemental poison, which was in the mid-air started shining brightly and touched the iing demon general before it disappeared into thin air. "Huh?" The demon general was scared when he was unable to dodge the iing orb; however, when he saw the orb did nothing before disappearing, he startedughing. "So, this is your powerful move? Hahaha....I though..." ''Shh'' Nevertheless, before he could finish his sentence, the demon generalpletely turned into green colour before his body disintegrated into nothing. "Yeah. This is my powerful move," Bane nodded his head and extended his hands. ''Swoosh'' Compared to the elemental spirits, the contracted spirit beasts were in an even more advantageous position. Because, unlike the elemental spirits, they received the increment in their battle prowess by a factor of three. ''ZZZ'' Among the three spirit beasts, the twin-tailed lynx was the most fierce one since it belonged to the lightning element. ''Swoosh'' It moved at a lightning speed with a body full of lightning sparks that killed its selected demon general within a couple of moves. ''Roar'' As for the two fire inferno spirit beasts, they don''t have the speed of the lynx; however, they have the same attack powerpared to it. After getting the three-time boost in their fighting prowess, they immediately used some skill that made the ck and red mes on their bodies intensified to a great extent. Except for the change in colour of mes in both the inferno spirit beasts, their attacking style and the way they killed their respective demon generals were also the same. All these events happened as soon Ajax activated his bloodline and at the same time. "What the hell happened here?" The main demon general didn''t even have the faintest idea of what had happened just now. Because it happened only in a fraction of seconds and he could even see properly how his sub-ordinates were dead. ''Is it over, already?'' Not only the main demon general, but even Ajax also could not believe that his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts were this powerful and felt proud of his summons. ''Ding, Killed a demon general by the host''s summon Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed a demon general by the host''s summon Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. .. .. At the same time, the four system notifications continued to ring in his head which was lightly taken by Ajax. ''Ding, The host''s spirit beast, the twin-tailed lynx, used Lightning assault to kill its target. ''Ding, The host''s spirit beasts, ck and Red inferno spirits used me frenzy to kill their targets. However, soon two more system notifications came to his head which was carefully looked at by Ajax and nodded his head. Because he knew these were one of the power skills of this spirit beasts and he silently thought about those skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Lightning assault Skill description:- The spirit beast will be surrounded by the lightning sparks and its attack power and speed is doubled for 5 minutes. ''Ding, Skill name:- me Frenzy Skill description:- When used by a spirit beast, the body of the spirit beast will bepletely covered by their natural mes and their battle prowess will be increased by a factor of 2 for 5 minutes. ''These two skills look exactly simr except for their elements,'' Ajax smiled as he remembered these two skills in his head and slowly walked towards the main demon general. "So, this is the power of your team. Not as powerful as I thought," Ajax mocked the main demon general as stopped walking and looked at the piles of ashes of the demon generals killed by his summons. Among the piles of the ashes, the heaven grade demonic weapons of the respective demon generals were lying on the ground. "W..who are you?" All of a sudden, his previous greed towards the ck yetis body had disappeared as he felt that Ajax was not an enemy he could kill with his strength. He looked at his surroundings and asked Ajax while stammering in his words. "Who am I? The one who is gonna kill you," Ajax scoffed at the main demon general andughed. ???His summons are already very strong and I wonder how strong he is,'' The main demon general looked at the Ajax and continued thinking, ''So, this is why I feel a bad premonition in my heart when I looked at him.'' He finally understood the reason for his bad premonition which was in his heart from the beginning. ''I need to escape from here at any cost and inform the demon king about the ''Great demon fiend in this young man''s possession,'' With each step that Ajax took towards him, the main demon general felt his heart was going toe out. Moreover, he also thought about informing about ck yetis to his demon king after escaping from here. ''Swoosh'' After waiting for a moment, the main demon general rushed towards a specific direction in which he was confident in escaping from here. Chapter 502: Secret technique stone

502 Secret technique stone

Ajax was already guessing this kind of move from the main demon general and he was ready for it and scoffed at him. ''Cloud steps'' ''Absolute darkness'' Without any dy, Ajax used his perfectly synchronized skill and appeared in front of the main demon general, who had only taken a couple of steps. As soon as he used the nightmarish skill on the main demon general, he felt all dizzy and fell to his knees. Even though he was at the peak general realm, the main demon general could not escape from the ''Absolute darkness'' which was also boosted by Ajax''s bloodline. "You must be dreaming when you thought you could escape from here...Haha" Ajax looked at the demon general, who was clutching his head; however, no painful noises came from his mouth as though it was not affecting him much. ''Looks like he is much stronger than I thought,'' Ajax already knew that the strongest demon generals would not die instantly with his ''Absolute darkness'' skill. ''Anyway, he can''t fight back in his current situation,'' Ajax casually looked at his right hand before looking at the main demon general, who looked at Ajax with a pitiful expression. Although the demon general didn''t make painful noises, he was under a lot of pain and barely able to control it and looked at Ajax as though he was begging for his life. As soon as he looked at his right hands, it turned into the pitch ck and looked something like a demon''s hand. "Huh? So, you want to live?" Ajax revealed a small smile on his face and slowly extended his right hand towards the main demon general and continued, "I can help you in removing the pain you are enduring if you give me something valuable. Since I am a good guy, I am making this deal. So, don''t let this chance go away." Ajax ced his demonic w on the main demon general''s face and slowly made a small cut while offering a deal to the main demon general. "Yes...yes...I will give information that helps you to get a legendary grade weapon," As soon as the main demon general heard Ajax''s words, his eyes lit up and immediately replied while enduring the pain from the Absolute darkness. After repeated use of the absolute darkness, Ajax had almost reached a mastery level in it and now he could even control what his opponent had to suffer. For example, in this present case, Ajax allowed the main demon general to listen to his offer; otherwise, there was no way the main demon general could hear Ajax''s words. "Huh? A legendary grade weapon?" Ajax raised his brows as he didn''t expect that the demon general in front of him was such a coward and he was straightaway giving the information about a legendary grade weapon. In fact, Ajax didn''t expect the main demon general to give him something as he just wanted to toy with him for a while before killing him. ''This demon general is such a coward. I think all the demon generals are like this...Haha,'' Ajax silently mocked all the demon generals in his heart and revealed a small smile on his face. The main demon general was the one, who cared so much about his life. So, if there was a chance for him to get back his life, he would even betray the demon race. "Yes..yes...Please cancel your skill first. I will tell everything in detail," Seeing that Ajax became interested in his deal, the main demon general saw there was hope for his life and asked Ajax to cancel his skill. "Huh? I will release that skill only if I find the information. If you don''t want to give the information, then it''s fine," Ajax shook his head as rejected his request to release the skill. Even though he was interested in the weapon, he didn''t show it on his face anymore. Seeing that look on Ajax''s face, the main demon general became anxious all of a sudden and immediately said, "Okay...okay...I hope you will keep your promise." The main demon general knew that the information was the only thing that could keep him alive. So, he finally not requested Ajax not to cancel his skill anymore. "Good. Now continue," Ajax nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face before looking at his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. ''I need to finish this soon and enter the dimension crevice to im it,'' They were all looking in a powerful state with the bloodline''s boost and their own skill boosts. However, Ajax knew it would notst much longer and wanted to finish this thing as soon as possible. "I have a secret technique for a weapon to be the legendary grade," The main demon general took a long breath and started exining about how to get a legendary grade weapon. "What? A secret technique for a weapon?" Ajax was shocked as he never heard of something like that before. "Yes. When a weapon reached Heaven grade, they could feel their surroundings," The main demon general endured the pain from the ''Absolute darkness'' and slowly exined. "Oh," Ajax nodded his head and asked the demon general, "Then, how are you going to teach it that cultivation technique?" Ajax already knew about the information of the weapons like when a weapon reach the heaven grade they could feel their surrounding and when they reached the legendary grade, then they could form their own weapon soul. Moreover, the most important and powerful thing was when that weapon reached the mythical realm, they could materialize into a particr humanoid form, which could talk just like humans and other humanoid beings. But what Ajax didn''t understand was how could he make the weapon cultivate that secret technique. "Although it is called a technique, it is more like an upgrade stone. When we use it on any of the demonic weapons, they have the power to consume other demonic weapons and increase their own grade," The main demon general''s face was entirely covered in sweat along with the ck blood that wasing from the cut made by Ajax earlier. "So, now you are saying that you have that so-called secret technique stone?" Ajax finally understood everything and asked the main demon general about it. Just like how an upgrade stone could increase the grade of a weapon directly (Although it can fail sometimes), the secret technique that the main demon general was talking about could unleash the barrier between the heaven grade and the legend grade and by consuming the other demonic weapons, it could increase it''s level to the legendary grade. "Yes. In the entire demon world, there are no more than five of these secret technique stones. So, I hope you can release me from this skill of yours,'' The main demon general revealed a pained smile on his face as he requested Ajax. "Sure. As I promised, I will release you from this skill and now where is the stone?" Unlike the main demon general, Ajax revealed a happy smile on his face and asked about the stone. Chapter 503: Demonic weapon enchance crystal

503 Demonic weapon enchance crystal

He didn''t give it to Ajax immediately; instead, he hesitated for a while as he still had some doubts about Ajax. ''What if he doesn''t keep his promise?'' This was the only thought in his main demon general''s head. "Are you giving it out or Should I kill you and take it?" Looking at the hesitating demon general, Ajax asked with an annoyed expression on his face. If Ajax wants to take that stone, he could definitely take it from his hands after killing him; However, Ajax still had some use with the main demon general. That''s right. Ajax wanted to know about the reason why the demon army was attacking the Zrochester province all of a sudden and he also wanted to ask what their group of ten members were doing in the cursed abyss. ''Let me finish with this secret technique stone and afterwards, I will interrogate him,'' Ajax silently thought in his head and waited for the main demon general to give him the ck coloured stone. "Here" He didn''t hesitate for much longer before he extended his hand in order to give it to Ajax. Because the main demon general knew that if he didn''t give the stone, the human in front of him could kill him and take it without much difficulty. "Good," Ajax nodded his head as he took the pitch ck-coloured stone into his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Demonic weapon enhance crystal Use:- It can be only one single demonic weapon and that weapon gains that ability to absorb other demonic weapons to increase its grade. Note:- It can be used only on the demonic weapons. As soon as he carefully observed it, theplete information about that pitch ck-coloured stone appeared in front of him. ''So, this is called Demonic weapon enhance crystal,'' Ajax slowly looked at the use and the note on the holographic screen and nodded his head. "Since I have given you the stone, can you let me go now?" Looking at the satisfied smile on Ajax, the main demon general slowly asked Ajax. "What''s the hurry? Let me test this stone. Who knows whether it is an original or a?defective stone," Ajax shook his head and replied to the main demon general. Although Ajax knew that the stone in his hands was an original one. He didn''t want the main demon general to go away from here. So, he dragged the time as he looked at the surroundings. ''Damn it. I think he will let me go away. I should have just died and didn''t give information about the stone. Then he would have no way to open my space ring,'' Finally, regret shed on his face as he concluded that Ajax was not going to keep his promise; however, he didn''t dare to retort directly to Ajax and waited for Ajax to experiment with the stone in his hands. After looking at his surroundings for a while, his eyesnded on a battle-axe among the piles of ashes of the demon general. ''Considering that I have an inheritance sword and a heaven grade spear, this battle axe will be the right choice to use the weapon enhance crystal,'' Ajax silently thought about which type of weapon he needed to use and moved towards the battle axe. Among all the demonic weapons, he didn''t even think about the short swords and among the rest of the weapons, the battle-axe was the only weapon that he didn''t have. Soon, he picked the battle axe from the ground. ''Ding, Item name:- Demonic battle axe Grade:- High-level heaven grade As soon as he picked it up, the system sent the notification informing about the demonic weapon. ''System, use the ''Demonic weapon enhance crystal'' on this demonic battle axe,'' However, Ajax didn''t bother about it as looked at the ck-coloured stone in his hands and silently thought in his head. ''Ding, Are you sure in using the Demonic weapon enhance crystal? Once the crystal is used, it will be consumed. ''I know, I know,'' Ajax nodded his head and gave his confirmation to the system. ''Ding, Initiating the use of the ''Demonic weapon enhance crystal'' on the demonic battle axe. Please wait a few moments. Soon, another system notification came and asked Ajax to wait for a while. ''I am finally getting my first legendary grade weapon,'' While the enhancing process was going on, Ajax was in his own thoughts and at the same time, he kept an eye on the main demon general. The main demon general had a pained expression on his face as he was slowly losing hope in escaping from Ajax; however, he still endured the pain from the absolute darkness and waited for Ajax to keep up his promise. ''Huh? Did he use the secret technique stone just like that? How is it possible?'' When he saw how the Demonic weapon enhance crystal integrate with the demonic battle axe, the main demon general looked shocked and finally felt that Ajax was even more powerful and he thought. ''Just, who is he? And why does he have so many mysterious tricks and skills?'' The main demon general continued to think in his head as he felt even more anxious when he saw the Ajax now. At this moment, he finally felt there was nothing he could to escape from Ajax. ..... While Ajax was busy enhancing the battle-axe, somewhere in the cursed abyss. ''Where are you? Where are you?'' A ferocious demon was searching for something in the cursed abyss as he continued to mutter with an annoyed expression on his face. He looked extremely ferocious and on his face, there was an arrogant expression and no one knows whether it was an inborn arrogant expression or gradually formed one. He had a long spear in his hands as he continued his search. ''I need to find the entrance of the dimensional crevice before that guild master kills the third batch of my demon army,'' The demon muttered in a low voice and continued, ''Alos, I?have invested a little too much and if I can''t im the dimensional crevice then I will remain...no I will be the weakest demon king in the history.'' That''s right! He was one of the demon kings and previously he was the one who met the guild master and exchanged words with him before parting ways with him. In the demon world, the demon kings'' power was measured with two things. One was their own strength and the other thing was the strength of their demon army. If the demon army''s strength was less than he won''t have a say in any of the important meetings that were held regrly. For the dimensional crevice, the sixth demon king sent 20 percent of his demon army and he knew that it would be destroyed; however, if he got a dimensional crevice, then it was worth it. "Huh?" All of a sudden, the demon king raised his brows as he sensed something about one of his elite teams. ****** Chapter 504: Internal strike

504 Internal strike

"Who dares to interrupt with my ns? Is that you, guild master? No, I can''t sense him. It definitely not him," After closing his eyes for a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Ajax and the main demon general and muttered with an angry expression. "Except for the elite team leader, his entire team is annihted," All the demon kings ced their spirit marks on their elite teams to find their locations and give the emergency missions to those teams that were closest to them. Beforeing out of the demon world, the closest elite team under him was the team which was annihted by Ajax. Their task was to help him find the entrance of the dimension crevice. "Whoever you are, I?am going to kill you for the killing of my elite teams and interrupting me in finding the entrance to the dimensional crevice," The demon king muttered for something before he disappeared from that ce. Along with his disappearance, there was a marking on thend that was moving towards the direction in which Ajax was enhancing the demonic battle-axe. The elite team that the demon king had given the task of the mission to find the entrance of the dimensional crevice was one of the least powerful elite teams under him. There was a particr reason he didn''t use the powerful elite team under him because it would definitely alert the other demon kings and if they knew about the dimensional crevice they would do anything in order to im the ownership of it. So, he only chose one of the weakest elite teams and that was closer to him. However, that doesn''t mean they were notpletely helpless even against the elite general realm cultivators; however, now except for the leader of that elite team, everyone in the team died. ''Just hold on for a minute, I will avenge your teammates and I will save you,'' The demon king, who was rushing at his fastest speed silently thought in his head. His speed was so fast and it made the ground under his feet leave behind a mark. ... In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, "All mercenaries, fall back. No need to fight the demons until your death," When he saw the fight between the mercenaries and the demons was in a disadvantageous position, the old guild master didn''t waste any time and immediately ordered all the mercenaries to fall back. "Damn it. Where are the royal family''s reinforcements? Does this means, even they also want my mercenary guild along with all the mercenaries to died while defending the Zrochester province?" The guild master clenched his hands when he thought about the Royal family. In front of him, there were more than 100 mercenaries, who looked dead tired and wanted nothing more than to rest for a bit. So, the guild master didn''t hesitate to order them to fall back. "We, mercenaries are not the soldiers of this Zrochester province. So, don''t try to risk your life for the royal family. Just take some rest and we will once again attack; however, I don''t want a single death of my mercenaries. Do you understand?" The guild master shook his head from the thoughts of the royal family and looked at the mercenaries before giving a speech to all the mercenaries. "Yes, guild master. We understood" "We understood" All the mercenaries nodded their heads and immediately moved away from the path of the demon army and allowed them to slowly move towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "Edmond, Rulf and others, you also take rest. Compared to the second batch of the demon army, the third batch of the demon army is more powerful," After giving his instructions to the mercenaries, the old guild master looked at Edmond and others asked them to take rest along with the mercenaries. "But, if the third batch of the demon army arrives and joined the second batch of the?demon army, it will be life and death matter for all of us, guild master," Edmond replied to the guild master about his thoughts on the third batch of the demon army. He knew that the guild master had an internal injury and he could not use his full powers. So, he said that their death would be imminent without a doubt. ''Only if he didn''t have the internal injury and I can''t use my final trump card here,'' Edmond silently thought in his head as he clenched his hands. "You have a point there, Edmond," The old guild master perfectly understood what Edmond was saying and asked, "What do you think we should do then." The guild master knows that Edmond and Udo were the perfect nners, There was not a single failed mission if they both devise a n. So, he asked Edmond and Udo about their ns. "Guild master..." "Stop interrupting, Rulf. You know how much sess rate their nning and how they never failed any mission so far," Before Rulf could finish hisint, the old guild master asked him to stop bothering Edmond. Because he knew that there were some small issues between Edmond and Rulf, he was fast with his words. "Yes, guild master," Rulf could only swallow his dissatisfaction towards Edmond and stood behind the old guild master. "Hmm" Edmond thought for a moment and looked at Udo. In response to his looks, Udo nodded his head as he revealed a smile at Edmond. "Okay then," Edmond nodded his head at the guild master''s request and continued to say about his thoughts, "ording to me there are two best options we can do against the demon army." Edmond took a deep breath and looked at the old guild master and Rulf. "What are they, Edmond," "Scoff" While the guild master was excited and asked him about those two options, Rulf scoffed at Edmond''s words. ''p'' "Rulf, Stop behaving like a little kid and pay attention to his words," The guild master pped the back of Rulf''s head and asked him to pay attention to Edmond''s words. "What is there to pay attention, guild master," Rulf didn''t feel bad because of the p by the guild master; instead he smirked at Edmond and continued, "I can say one of his two best options without even thinking much." "Huh?" The guild master raised his brows and looked at Rulf who was standing behind him and had a smirk on his face. "Do you want me to say it?"Rulf looked at Edmond and asked with a mocking expression on his face. "Don''t y jokes, Rulf. Do you even know what kind of situation we are in? So, you better stop interrupting Edmond and listen to him," The guild master became angry when he listened to Rulf''s retorting words. He didn''t know what''s gotten into him but Rulf never behaved like this before. "His one of the best options must be to just escape from here and let the second batch of the demon army go out of the cursed wilderness, right?" Rulf hurriedly said his words and moved away from the group. Chapter 505: Devil frui

505 Devil frui

"That''s right. It is one of my two best options," Edmond didn''t feel bad to ept Rulf''s words because it was really one of the two best options he had thought of. "What?" The old guild master raised his brows and surprisingly looked at Edmond because he had never expected Edmond to have these kinds of options. "What can you expect from a man who only cares about themselves?" Rulf mocked Edmond after Edmond''s agreement with his words. "Rulf, if you don''t stop speaking then I will give you your favourite punishment," The old guild master could not take Rulf''s words anymore and asked him to stop speaking anymore. "Edmond, what is the other best option you have," After giving the warning to Rulf, the old guild master looked at Edmond and asked him about the other option. "Since we can''t take on the second and third batch of the demon army, why don''t we divert the demon army in another direction?" Edmond revealed a small smile on his face as he said about his second-best option. "Huh? Can you exin a bit more clearly?" The guild master didn''t understand about Edmond''s second optionpletely. So, he asked him to exin it. "If you don''t mind, I will exin," Behind Edmond, Udo revealed a small smile and came forward to volunteer himself for the exnation. "Sure. As long as it is exined in a clear manner, then I don''t mind who is exining...Haha," Thee guild master finallyughed after feeling frustrated for a while on the Royal family and the other powerful organisations. However, seeing that both Edmond and Udo were going to devise a n for them to face the demon army, the old guild master was finally able to feel relieved a little. As usual, Rulf scoffed but he still listened to Udo''s exnation. Not only the guild master and Rulf but Darbaudr and the blood rose also started paying attention to Udo''s words. "What Edmond is saying is that before the third batch of the demon armyes here, why don''t we divert the direction of the second batch of the demon army?" Udo looked at the guild master''s face as he exined about Edmond''s second-best option. .... While Udo was exining about the second-best option, all the mercenaries were already moved away from the second batch of the demon army and let them move towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "Captain, are we really going to let them go away just like that?" "Brother, don''t forget that we still have our families residing in the towns that are near to the cursed wilderness," "Leader, as long as I?recover my spirit consciousness by half, I will go and try my best to stop the demon army," "Everyone,e down. As long as we recover our strength we will go back into the fight with demon army," "The guild master''s intention is?not to abandon the Zrochester province; however, he doesn''t want any of us to die here," "Once this is all over, we need to show what an angry mercenary can do powerful organisations," To their squad members, the captains of the different squad replied in a loud voice which made all the mercenaries feel excited and started recovering their lost essence of nature. Soon all the mercenaries followed their captain''s idea and silently absorbed the essence of nature into their spirit consciousness. ..... Back to the guild master''s group, "And what good will it do?" While the old guild master was contemting about Udo''s words, Rulf stood up from the ground and walked towards the group and scoffed. "It¡­." "Udo, you stop. I will exin this kid to understand in a much better way," Before Udo could say something, Edmond stopped Udo from exining Rulf. "Hmm" Udo nodded his head and stopped speaking and waited for Edmond to speak. "Diverting the second batch of the demon army to any direction will not do anything good; however, if we divert them into one particr direction, it will not only give us time but we will get help from those so-called powerful sects and great families. What''s more, even the royal family will help us...Haha," After finishing his exnation, Edmond startedughing loudly. "So, you are saying to divert them towards that direction...Haha," the guild master''s eyes lit up when Edmond finished his exnation and praised Edmond, "As expected of you, Edmond. You never disappoint me." The guild master startedughing for a while'' however, suddenly, he thought of another problem. "So, how are you going to divert those mindless demons?" The guild master pointed his finger at the second batch of the demon army and asked Edmond. "Haha....guild master, you have really be old," Edmond jokingly said to the guild master before shaking his head as he was disappointed with him. "Don''t you dare to call me old again. You are old, you are family¡­.," The guild master immediately stopped when he mentioned Edmond''s family for some reason and sighed. Edmond and Udo also became silent for a moment before Edmond spoke, "Guild master, do you forgot about the devil grass?" When he said that Edmond revealed a cunning smile and continued to look at the guild master. "Of course I didn''t forget. How can I forget it," the guild master''s voice became serious as he looked at the 10 des of ck coloured grass and continued, "It''s not going to work, Edmond. A devil grass alone can''t attract the entire demon army." After saying that the guild master shook his head. "Haha...I know," Edmond loudlyughed and continued, "A devil grass can''t attract the entire demon army; however, what if I also have a devil fruit. What do you think will happen if Ibine these two things." Edmond revealed a cunning look as he looked at Rulf and the guild master before saying, "Also, I don''t want any entire army to follow. As long as we can divert the first few rows of the demon servants, the rest of the demon army follows them like a bunch of sheep." "What? A devil fruit? Where did you get that?" Rulf became shocked when he saw the ck coloured fruit in Edmond''s hands and asked him. "Haha..." Edmond didn''t give an answer; instead, heughed and crushed the devil fruit along with the des of the devil grass "Rulf, you should never ask a fellow mercenary about the origin of the items," the old guild master stopped Rulf from asking any more questions. "Yes, guild master," Rulf nodded his head and became calm. ''If my guess is right, he must have got it from that devil octopus mission,'' the old guild master silently guessed the origins of the devil fruit and continued thinking, ''However, I didn''t expect it is guarding a devil fruit tree in the depths of the cursed abyss.'' Chapter 506: Diverting the demon army

506 Diverting the demon army

When a demon senses the fragrance of the devil fruit, they would unconsciously set the devil fruit as their top priority target and would do any means to get it. "Since, we can''t use the devil fruits for ourselves then why don''t we use it for diverting the demon?" Edmond threw the devil fruit towards Rulf before continuing, "Since you are very eager to save the normal residents, then hold that fruit and rush towards the direction of the so-called Great families." The devil fruit could not be used by beings like demons or other devil or demonic element beings. If it was used by a human, then without a doubt the person would be a mindless creature that would only destroy anything that lies in his way. So, Edmond didn''t have much attachment to the devil fruit. Also, the reason he gave the demon diverting mission to Rulf was not because of their internal fight. It was because, among all the people present around him, Rulf was the only one after the guild master, who had the fastest speed. "Huh?" Rulf looked at the small ck coloured fruit in his hands and understood what Edmond wanted him to do. "So, now you are agreeing that I am faster than you, right?" Rulf smiled as he asked Edmond with a small smile on his face. "Of course, you are faster. That''s how you survived till now," Edmond instantly replied to Rulf''s previous question without wasting any time. "..." Rulf was speechless as he didn''t know what to say now. Because what Edmond said had some truth to it. Just like other mercenaries, the old guild master used to give some special missions to Rulf and most of them were almost impossible toplete. So, Rulf always uses his speed to escape when he senses that he would not be able toplete the mission. "You two are not small kids to fight always. Just cooperate with each other for a while until it''s all over," The old guild master stopped them from fighting and continued, "Rulf, smear the devil grass along with the small piece of the devil fruit onto your body and rush towards the royal capital. I will see why the royal family will not send their army to kill them." The reason the royal family didn''t bother about the demon army much was that the towns between the cursed wilderness and the mercenary guild were not wealthy and most of them consisted of normal people who didn''t have any hope in bing cultivators in their life. So, the old guild master felt confident that the royal family would definitely send their army to kill the demon army. "I will try my best inpleting this mission, guild master," Rulf bowed his head at the old guild master and looked at Edmond and others before smearing the devil grass onto his body. As soon as he smeared the devil grass onto his body, the second batch of the demon army halted all of a sudden. However, the demon army didn''t move in his direction as though they were waiting for something. As for Rulf, he finished smearing the devil grass onto his body before cutting a small piece of devil fruit and just like before, he smeared it onto his body. However, unlike before, the immobile demon army became crazy when they sensed the fragrance of the devil body mixed with the devil grass'' fragrance. Along with that, the demon army changed the direction as though something was calling them from Rulf''s direction. "What? This fragrance...it is definitely a devil fruit," "No doubt about it. It''s definitely a devil fruit," "It''s there. I see the devil fruit in his hands," "I have to get that fruits before others get their hands on it," While the demon army slowly changed the directions towards the old guild master and others, the mutated demon servants and the other demon generals that could still think even after consuming the rage portion were tempted by the fragrance of the devil fruit. There was only one thought in their hands that was to get their hands on the devil fruits and consume it. Still, they didn''te out of the demon army and continued to lurk in it because they knew that if Edmond and others were to see them, they would die even before they could do something. So, they continued to follow the demon army, which was moving towards the old guild master and others. "Rulf, it is working. Now, just take care of the demon army. Don''t run very fast and maintain an average speed. We will cover you if any of the demon generals or elite demon generals that mighte out if they see you," the old guild master asked Rulf to be careful while running with the devil fruit in his hands. "Yes, guild master," Rulf nodded his head and rushed in the direction of the Royal capital. "Oh. So, he is running away from him," "Good. As long as that old man and others are not there, I can sneak up on him," "As long as I wait for some time, I can get my hands on the devil fruit...Hehe," All the elite demon generals, generals and the mutated demon general became excited when they saw that Rulf was separating from the other humans and continued to follow him with the demon army. "Okay then. Since Rulf is taking care of the second batch of the demon army, we will stay here and take care of the third batch," After Rulf left from there, the old guild master looked at Edmond and others before saying, "Udo, if you don''t mind, take a couple of mercenary squads which had a captain of around level 2 or 3 elite general realm and back up Rulf in case those lurking demon generals in the demon army try to do something funny." "Yes, guild master," Udo nodded his head and understood the old guild master''s intentions. Without wasting any time, Udo went to the resting mercenaries and casually looked at all the mercenary squads and picked 3 teams which he was somewhat familiar with and had confidence that they would be helpful in his mission. Since Udo was the intelligence of the Hazegroove mercenary squad, he always keeps tabs on the other mercenary squads. So, he was able to easily pick the mercenary squad and returned back the old guild master. "Just like always, you picked the mercenary squads with just a nce. Now go and keep some distance away from the demon army and follow them," the old guild master smiled as he looked at Udo and ordered him to go behind the demon army. Chapter 507: Interrogation

507 Interrogation

Each mercenary squad had 6 mercenaries including the captain of the squad. So, there were total mercenaries that were following Udo to help him in his mission. "As for us, we will wait for the third batch of the demon army along with the other mercenaries," The old guild master looked at Edmond and others and said about their next n. "So, until then, we will recover our essence of nature and get back to our peak condition," Edmond nodded his head as he replied to the old guild master before looking for a ce for him to rx and recover his strength. Darbaudr and Blood rose nodded their hands as they followed Edmond''s action and settled in somece and started meditating. All the mercenaries were also rxing and recovering their spirit consciousness. As for the old guild master, he was intently looking at the ck portal and waited for the third batch of the demon army toe out. ...¡­. While the old guild master and others were patiently waiting for the final batch of the demon army, Rulf was moving in the direction he was supposed to go at an average pace. So that the demon army doesn''t miss out the fragrance of the devil fruit. "Everything is going as nned," Rulf muttered as he maintained the same pace and looked behind him. Behind him, the second batch of the demon army was following him like an excited dog that was about to find its meal. And behind the demon army, Udo and the three mercenary squads were silently following. ..... ''Ding, The Demonic weapon enhance crystal is sessfully integrated into the demon battle axe. ''Ding, Need 100 demonic weapons of the same grade to reach the legendary grade. Progress:- 0/100 Demonic weapons consumed. "What? 100 demonic weapons are needed to upgrade it to the legendary grade?" While Edmond and others were waiting for the third batch of the demon army, Ajax was busy upgrading the demonic battle-axe in his hands. However, what surprised him the most was he needed exactly 100 demonic weapons of heaven grade to increase its level. Just looking at the number made him bitterly shake his head. ''If I needed normal demonic weapons to increase its grade, it is easy; however, using the Heaven grade demonic weapon¡­'' Ajax didn''t know what to do with the battle-axe in his hands anymore. Because it was almost impossible to find 100 heaven grade demonic weapons in the human world. Also, even the normal elite demon generals don''t have the heaven grade weapons in most of the cases, unless they swore their life to their demon king. So, Ajax finally felt he had wasted time on the demonic weapon. Since the battle-axe in his hands had the possibility of bing the legendary grade or even the mythical grade, he didn''t want to leave it. "Since I said the valuable information and even given the stone, now it''s your turn to keep your promise," After seeing that the Demonic weapon enhance crystal is sessfully integrated into the demon battle axe, the main demon general said to Ajax to leave him now. "Sure," Ajax nodded his head and moved towards the main demon general with the battle-axe in his hands and continued, "But, before that, I have a couple of questions I need to ask you." After saying that Ajax revealed a cunning smile, which made the main demon general think that Ajax was not going to keep his earlier promise. "What? You are not going to release me now?" Nevertheless, the main demon general showed an angry look on his face when he heard Ajax''s words. Since he was going to die anyway, then why bother about begging for his life. So, he raised his voice against Ajax. "Cool...cool," Ajax didn''t look surprised as though he had already expected the main demon general to be serious with his words and continued, "As long as you answer my two questions, I will keep up my promise. So, don''t worry and answer my questions." "And how do I know you will not add any more requests after answering your questions," The main demon general scoffed at Ajax with the same angry look on his face. ''Increase'' Ajax didn''t reply to the main demon general immediately; instead, he increased the ''Absolute darkness'' skill and sealed all his senses for a moment. ''Aargh'' As soon as Ajax did that, the main demon general, who was barely able to endure the pain from the nightmares, cried in pain all of a sudden. ''S..t..o..p..it,'' With the pain, the main demon general''s previous angry look disappeared from his face and a pathetic look reced it as he begged Ajax to stop increasing the pain. ''Snap'' Ajax revealed a smile as he snapped his fingers and the additional pain that the main demon general was experiencing had disappeared and he was only left with the normal pain that he was barely able to endure it. "Now, do you understand, who is in control?"?Ajax scoffed at the main demon general as he asked him. "Y..yes..yes," The main demon general didn''t dare to waste a single second and immediately answered Ajax. "Good. Anyway, back to business," Ajax nodded his head with a content look on his face and continued, "So, your first question. What are you searching in the cursed abyss?" Even though Ajax could guess what they were searching for; he still wanted to get urate information from him. "My elite team is searching for an entrance to the ownerless dimensional crevice under the orders of my demon king," The main demon general knew that he would only suffer the pain if he decided to not answer his questions. So, without any dy, he answered the first question. ''As expected. Thank god, the system generated this mission; otherwise, my dimensional crevice will be gone into the hands of the demons,'' Ajax silently thanked the system and muttered about the dimensional crevice. "Now, your second question," After thinking for a moment, Ajax continued, "What is the true purpose of the invasion of the demon army?" Ajax wanted to know the true purpose of the demon army''s invasion because he could guess that the invasion this time was somewhat different from what he had known from Edmond and others. So, he wanted to know about it. "Oh. About that, I think the third and final batch of the demon army is about to enter the human world in a few moments," Instead of answering Ajax''s question, the main demon general said something different that made Ajax raise his brows. "I am not asking you about it," Ajax once again asked the demon general about the true purpose of the demon invasion this time. "There are multiple purposes of that small scale demon invasion. From where should I start?" The main demon general looked at Ajax as asked him where to begin. Chapter 508: Celes and Oris

508 Celes and Oris

''Kick'' ''Block'' ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' There were two young men, who were having a friendly spar with each other. "Damon, is that all you got? If so, then you need to work hard to catch up to me and big brother Jason," The young man who finished the spar with a kick, jokingly said to the young man who was on the ground. "Stop being proud Hector, you know I don''t have as much attack power as you," The young man on the ground looked at the other young man and scoffed at him as he stated the fact about their strengths. That''s right! The two young men were none other than Damon and Hector, who were Ajax''s friends. They were saved by the Elder Boron in the cursed wilderness and were moved to a simple wooden house in the depths of the cursed wilderness, which was protected by some kind of barrier. Not only that, but they were also given many cultivation techniques and cultivation resources by the Elder Boron. After going through the hellish training from the Elder Boron, they had turned from immature brats to fine young men and there was a look in their eyes as they were not normal cultivators. "I know...Haha," Hectorughed as he nodded his head and continued, "Until big brother, Jasones back, shall we have a go with our elemental spirits?" When he said thetter part of his sentence, he revealed an excited look on his face. Not only they started cultivating, with the help of the Elder Boron, but they also were able to enter the elemental spirit world through their dreams and sessfully contracted an elemental spirit and became the summoners. "Sure, my Oris is eagerly waiting for a fight with your Celes," Just like Hector, Damon also had an excited look on his face when he replied to Hector. "Come out, Celes," "Oris, time to fight," Both Hector and Damon summoned their elemental spirits out of their spirit consciousness. As soon as they called, a brown coloured and light azure coloured elemental spirit came out of their body and stood in front of them. "Oris, meet Hector and his wind elemental spirit," Damon introduced Hector and his elemental spirit to his own elemental spirit, Oris with a smile on his face. "Hello," Oris greeted both Hector and Celes before waiting for his summoning master''s orders. "Nice to meet you, Oris," Both Hector and Celes greeted back. "Come on. Let''s fight before senior brother Jasones back with the Elder Boron," Hector hurriedly said to Damon to start their spar. "Yes. Otherwise, they will scold us for summoning our elemental spirits," Damon nodded his head and continued, "Since you are the attacker, I will let you go first." As for the reason why they should not do so was never answered back by the Elder Boron. Both of them have formed their contracts with the elemental spirits for a while now and what''s more, they have even reached the elemental spiritmander realm. However, they were never summoned from their spirit consciousness because of Elder Boron. "Sure, I will use the first move then," Hector nodded his head and looked at his wind-elemental spirit, Celes and ordered, "Celes, use ''Arcane air bomb'' on Oris." As soon as Hector ordered his elemental spirit, a football-size colourless orb from the wind essence of nature appeared in front of Celes. ''Compress'' As soon as Celes said that the football-size colourless orb started bing smaller and stopped shrinking after it had reached the size of a fist. ''Go,'' Celes lightly pushed the colourless orb towards Oris with his fingers. "Oris, you know what to do, right?" Damon didn''t order his earth elemental spirit lke Hector; instead, he asked his elemental spirit about what it should do. "Yes, summoning master. I know what to do," Oris nodded his head at Damon and hurried said, ''Body Harden'' As soon as he said that, his brown coloured transparent body became crystalline like a diamond. After that, he didn''t even bother to dodge the iing colourless orb. "Boom" Just as the colourless orb touched Oris, it exploded and the surrounding area around Oris also turned into gravel. "Let''s see, your elemental spirit is still alright or not?" Hector smilingly said to Damon and looked into the dust-filled area. "Haha...what do you think, Hector?" Damon was still calm and confident as he asked Hector with a loudugh on his face. "Huh?" The smile on Hector''s face disappeared when he heard Damon''s words and hurriedly ordered his elemental spirit, "Celes, be careful." ''Kacha kacha'' However, it waste for Celes to be careful as Oris had already used his another skill cracked the ground andrger rocks came out of the ground that made Celes impossible to escape. "That''s the way, Oris. A fine way to use gravel around you," Damon praised his elemental spirit for using another skill ''Rock eruption''. Rock eruption, as the name sounds the elemental spirit could summon the rocks from the earth; however, the rocks could only be formed by the gravel on the ground. So, he could not help but praise his elemental spirit for using the gravel from the previous explosion for his use. "Now, your elemental spirit ispletely stuck in my rocks. So, what is your next step?" Damon looked at Hector as he asked him about his next step. Although they called it a spar, it was in fact a show of their skills and they just want to get familiar with each other. So, in the future, they could rely on one other. ''p p'' "Good one, Damon," Hector pped as he praised Damon and his elemental spirit before continuing, "However, you are not the only one with powerful skills. Let me show my elemental spirit''s powerful skill." After saying that, he ordered his elemental spirit Celes, "Celes, time to show one of your powerful skills. Use Hurricane surge." As soon as Hector ordered his elemental spirit, the wind essence of nature came out of his body and soon a colourless hurricane appeared in front of Celes which destroyed all therge rocks that were blocking his movements. It didn''t stop there but still continued to move towards Oris at its full speed. "Who said you will not have any powerful skills. I know every elemental spirit have their own set of powerful skills. So, let me show another skill of my elemental," Damon was least bothered by the iing hurricane and casually nodded his head at his elemental spirit, Oris. "Come on out, my Golems," After receiving the confirmation from Damon, Oris used his second skill, ''Golem summoning''(Rock eruption is itsmander level skill). As soon as he called out, the stones from the earlierrge rocks came together and formed into tworge rock golems and stood in front of the earth elemental spirit, Oris. "Huh? Rock Golems? Let''s see, whether they sustain my hurricane or not?" Hector became excited as he looked at the Hurricane that was about to crash into the two rock golems. Chapter 509: Draw

509 Draw

The hurricane crashed into the two rock golems in front of Oris and the result was a huge explosion that made the entire area covered by dust. Soon, the dust cleared and the two rock golems stood just like statues in front of Oris as though nothing had happened. "You need something more powerful to break by elemental spirit''s rock golems, Hector," Damon revealed a smile as he said to Hector and then looked at the wind elemental spirit Celes. "Also, your elemental spirit looks a little tired after that Hurricane surge skill," There was a light fatigued look on Celes'' transparent face which didn''t escape Damon''s eyes, so he asked Hector whether they should stop or continue. ''Huh? Looks like the hurricane''s power is decreased after it sted therge rock,'' Hector didn''t reply to Damon; instead, he thought in his head and contacted his elemental spirit through the voice transmission, ''Celes, can you still use yourst skill???? ''Yes, summoning master. Although I look tired, I can easily use mymander level skill two times without a problem,'' Celes immediately replied to Hector in a confident voice. ''Good,'' Hector nodded his head before looking at Damon and said, "Don''t worry, Damon. He still has a lot of stamina left." After that, he ordered his elemental spirit, Celes, "Now, use the back to back ''Wind bursts''. One of the rock golems and the other for the earth elemental spirit, Oris." As soon as he ordered his elemental spirit to use ''Wind burst'', Hector felt really confident that the skill would take down those rock golems and the earth elemental spirit. Soon, some kind of invisible force started gathering around Celes that made Damon take that attack very seriously and silentlymunicated with his elemental spirit. The force around the wind elemental spirit, Celes started growing and reached a high level and he released it towards the rock golems and after that, he followed the same process to create another wind burst before releasing it towards Oris. Just when Hector was thinking that everything was going as he expected, something unexpected happened before the wind burst from the wind elemental spirit could reach the rock golems, the ground beneath him started shaking and the direction of those two wind bursts changed towards a wooden house in the distance. "What''s happening?" Hector was shocked for a moment before he knew what was happening. Soon, he saw therger rocks once againe out of the ground and imprisoned his elemental spirit. "How is it, Hector. This is the full power of the ''Rock eruption''. What you have seen earlier is just an attack to test you and your elemental spirit...Haha," Damon looked at the shocked face of Hector and startedughing at him. "Haha...it is not over it," As soon as the wind elemental spirit had received the order from his summoning master, he closed his eyes and muttered something before one of the wind bursts changed its direction from the wooden house to the earth elemental spirit, Oris. "Oh no," Damon became anxious when he saw the iing wind burst towards his elemental spirit and immediately ordered, "Oris, finish him off." Just like how fast Hector elemental spirit reacted to his orders, Oris also followed his summoning master''s orders and immediately touched the ground and made the imprisoned Celes suffocate amidst therge rocks. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' All of a sudden two exploding sounds could be heard by Damon and Hector. One explosion was because of the wind burst which crashed into Oris whereas the other explosion was because of the other wind burst which exploded the wooden house. Along with the explosion, therge rock also disappeared because Oris became unconscious and due to suffocation from therge rocks for some time, Celes also became unconscious. "Hector, is this a draw?" Damon looked at the two elemental spirits and bitterly shook his head. "Yeah. Let''s consider this as a draw," Hector also shook his head. Soon, both of them summoned back their elemental spirits back into their spirit consciousness. "By the way, Damon, when do you think you will form a contract with your second official elemental spirit?" Hector walked towards Damon and asked him about his second official contract. Unlike Ajax; Hector, Damon and Jason, they didn''t have any unofficial elemental spirits. They directly formed a contract with their elemental spirits through their dreams. Since they had already be themander realm cultivators, they could not form their second official contract with an elemental spirit of their respective element. "I think it is very close like in a couple of days," Damon excitedly replied to Hector and continued to say, "Moreover, we need to catch up to big brother Jason as soon as possible." "Recently, by a chance, I heard the conversation between Elder Boron and big brother Jason that, this big brother of us has sessfully formed a contract with another life elemental spirit," Hector also had the same dream of catching up to the big brother Jason and exined about what he had heard from the conversation between Elder and their big brother. "What? Why didn''t big brother Jason say anything about this?" Damon looked confused as he asked Hector about it. "Who knows," Hector made a gesture like ''I don''t know'' and continued, "Moreover, I think he also formed a contract with a couple of unofficial life elemental spirits." "That''s great. I hope there is a good reason for hiding all of this information from us," Damon thought that the Elder Boron and Big brother Jason must have some good reason for putting many conditions on them and not saying everything about Jason''s elemental spirits. "I hope so too," Hector nodded his head and continued, "Anyway, we need to catch up to big brother Jason soon." "Yes. Bg brother is only one step away from entering the elitemander realm. I wonder why Elder Boro only trains him and leaves us to guard the wooden house?" Damon is puzzled at the fact that Elder Boron always trains Jason and leaves them in the wooden house. With tht question in his mind, he looked into the distance to take a look at the wooden house; however, there was no wooden house there; instead, they were all broken timber wood on the ground. ''Where is the wooden house?'' Damon became anxious and slowly remembered the events that happened a few moments ago and became even more anxious. "Hey Hector, I think, we messed up this time," With the same anxious look on his face, he turned to Hector and said. "Huh? What happened Damon? Why are you sweating a lot?" Hector looked at the anxiousness on Damon''s face and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Don''t worry, Damon, Elder Boron and Big brother Jason will never know that we summoned our elemental spirits to have a friendly spar." Hector patted Damon''s shoulder and asked him not to worry. "Do you really think they will not know about it?" Damon pointed his finger in the destroyed wooden house and said to Hector. Chapter 510: Arrival of the demon king

510 Arrival of the demon king

Ajax interrogated the main demon general for a while now and finally got known answers to some of his questions. "So, you have three main purposes in invading the Zrochester province with your small scale demon army?" Ajax asked as he looked at the main demon general, who was barely able to endure the ''Absolute Darkness'' effects after finishing his interrogation. "Yes, now...now please le..t me..go," the main demon general didn''t have any more energy in his body as he stammered in his speech. After interrogating the main demon general for some time, Ajax found out three main purposes for their invasion of the Zrochester province. One, they wanted to test whether the guild master healed his old injuries from an old fight with their demon king. Two, it was to kill the top three mercenary squad captains and kill as many as mercenaries possible. And the final one was to find the entrance of an ownerless dimensional crevice for their demon king and help him im the dimensional crevice. Not only this information but Ajax also got the basic power structure of the demon world like the demon world was ruled by one of the six demon kings and he also orders the other demon kings as his servants. Moreover, this invasion process was initiated by the sixth demon king after getting permission of the leader of the demon king. "Release," After getting theplete information of the sixth demon king''s ns, Ajax cancelled the ''Absolute darkness'' skill and made the main demon general free from the hellish nightmares. ''Phew...'' The main demon fell to the ground as he heaved a sigh of relief and without wasting any time, he took out some pills from his space ring and consumed them. "So, you are free now," Ajax revealed a slight smile as he turned back and moved towards the entrance of the dimensional crevice. ''Huh? Is he going just like that?'' The main demon general felt something was not right when he saw that Ajax was letting him leave alone. ''That''s right! Why is he not taking his summons along with him? Is he nning to kill me with his summons?'' Finally, the main demon general understood something as he thought in his head. After killing the other demon generals, Ajax didn''t summon them back into his spirit consciousness and let them stay out. Since Ajax promised he would not kill him but what about his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. "What are you waiting for? Come on let''s go," All of a sudden, Ajax stopped walking and turned towards his summons and ordered them to follow him. ''Roar'' "Yes, summoning master," Hearing Ajax''s orders, the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts replied to him before following him. ''What? Is he really letting me go?'' The demon general really felt something was not right and after pondering for a moment, he thought, ''Maybe humans really cared about promises.'' When he thought about theter part of this sentence, the main demon general felt it was funny and felt, ''As long as humans like you exist, demons like me continued to exist. Also, don''t let me see you in the future, I will definitely kill you the next time I see you.'' Even though he valued his life more than anything else, the main demon general was one of those demons that would take revenge for even a tiny bit of humiliation. While he was thinking something, Ajax once again stopped walking and turned back towards the main demon general. "By the way, I have onest question to ask you," Ajax started moving towards the main demon general and said something that made the main demon general raise his brows. ''Since you are keeping your promise I can answer one more question to you,'' the main demon general silently thought in his head. There was also a reason why he thought like that because after enduring the pain from the ''Absolute Darkness'' skill for some time, he feltpletely tired and he didn''t even have the strength to escape from here. So, he didn''t want to do anything funny when he was almost sure that he could get away from here with his life. "What is it?" He didn''t waste any time because he felt that the sooner he answered Ajax''s question, the quicker he would go away from here. So, he asked about the question. "Good. I think it is not a mistake to let you live," Ajax revealed a small smile on his face and he continued with his question, "So, from your three purposes, do you have any idea about the how many of them are fulfiled?" After knowing about the purposes of the demon army''s invasion, he wanted to know how the progress on each of the purposes. He was sure about thest one, that was the entrance to the ownerless dimensional crevice was still not found and he wanted to know about the other two purposes. ''I didn''t expect that the old guild master fought with the sixth demon king and ended up in a draw with some internal injuries. Now, I am also curious about his injuries,'' Even Ajax wanted to know about the old guild master''s injuries. "Huh? Only one of them ispleted and that was the old guild master''s injuries didn''t heal and he still needs a couple of years topletely heal his injuries and reach his peak form," The main demon general answered without thinking much as he felt there was nothing wrong in giving that data as it was not a confidential data. ''Oh,'' Ajax felt disappointed to hear that but still, he could not do much as he nodded his head at the main demon general. ''Master, look out,'' "Boom" As he was hearing to the main demon general''s words, Ajax heard Volcanis voice and sensed the danger. So, he caught the main demon general and jumped away from the position. ''Demon king'' The main demon general became excited when he saw the iing demon as he silently muttered in his head. ...¡­. "What happened to the house?" Just like Damon, Hector also shocked and soon remembered the reason for the destruction of the wooden house and started sweating a lot. "What do you think will happen to us if Elder Boron sees this?" Damon moved towards the destroyed wooden house as he asked Hector about it. "I guess, we will know what he will do to us in a few moments," Hector looked into the distance and saw two familiar figuresing towards him and Damon. The two familiar silhouettes belong to an old man and a young man. They were none other than Elder Boron and Jason. Elder Boron signalled Jason to stop moving forward and he continued moving towards Hector and Damon alone. Looking at Elder Boron, Damon became silent as he didn''t know what to say because they were the ones who destroyed the wooden house. "Looks like you two are ready for the punishment...Haha," When Elder Boron saw the silent Hector and Damon, heughingly said to them. Jason, who was some distance away from the Elder Boron and the other two revealed a cunning smile when he heard Elder Boron''s words. .... Chapter 511: Elder Borons hellish training

511 Elder Boron''s hellish training

A few minutes before Damon and Hector destroyed the wooden house, Elder boron and Jason were watching their friendly match from a distance. "Elder Boron, I think they are ready for the training I have been receiving from you," Jason said with a cunning smile on his face. "You sure look happy, Jason...Haha," Elder Boron continued to watch the fight between Hector and Damon whileughing said to Jason. "Of course, I am happy. These two fellows think that I am special since you are training me without your hellish training regiment; however, soon they will know what kind of special training they will receive, then I will ask them how does it feel...Haha," Jason was excited when he saw the friendly spar between Damon and Hector. The reason he was excited was that the Elder Boron had told him that when both Damon and Hector summon their elemental spirits to have a friendly fight and if he liked their fight, then he would train them along with him. The training was very hard and sometimes Jason thought that he would have better died in the hands of the high-level spirit beast; instead of protected by the Elder Boron and went through the hellish training. ''After you go through Elder Boron''s training, then say how do you feel,'' Jason silently muttered to himself because every time he returned from his hellish training in the depths of the cursed wilderness, he was pestered by Damon and Hector. They would say that Jason was lucky and after Ajax, Jason was the special student of the Elder Boron. So, he thought they would know who he felt when they said something like that. ''I hope you both endure his training, Damon and Hector,'' Jason had nothing against them. He just wanted them to experience what he had experienced for the past few weeks. "Don''t worry I will make sure to train them well," Both of them continued to converse with each other while watching the fight between Damon and Hector. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' All of a sudden, they heard two explosions, in which one of them made Jason shocked and soon he felt funny and could not help butugh. "I think, I will make sure to train them more than you," Elder Boron said in a serious tone that made Jason shiver. ''Looks like you are not going to escape the training no matter what you do friends,'' Jason prayed for his friends. Soon, Elder Boron stood up from his ce and started moving towards the destroyed wooden house. Behind him, Jason also quietly followed behind him without making any noise. ¡­.. "Looks like you two are ready for the punishment...Haha," Elder Boron forcefullyughed while looking at the anxious faces of both Hector and Damon. "Punishment?" Hector and Damon said the same word in unison as they became even more anxious. Elder Boron calmly exined to them. "Really?" Both of them were excited when they heard Elder Boron''s words and felt there was something wrong. "Yes, and why would I lie to you?" Elder Boron acted as though there was nothing wrong and pointed at Jason and said, "If you doubt, ask your big brother Jason." "No no no...Elder Boron. Why will we doubt you? There is no need to ask big brother Jason about it," Damon shook his head as he rejected Elder Boron''s suggestion of asking Jason. "Yes, Elder Boron. We believe you," Hector supported Damon and nodded his head in agreement. "Even so, let me tell you something. From now on, you are going to experience how I lived for the past few weeks...oh sorry, I think you are going to experience even more than me. Isn''t that right, Elder Boron?" Nevertheless, Jason came forward and briefly said how their lives are going to be from tomorrow. "Yes," Elder Boron nodded his head as he looked at the destroyed wooden house. "But Elder Boron, what about this wooden house?" Both Hector and Damon asked the same question at the same time when they saw that Elder Boron was looking at the destroyed Wooden house. "Don''t worry. Although it will take some time to reconstruct the wooden house for us, I will take care of it," Elder Boron knew that he could not actively me the two young men. So, he didn''t say anything to them. ''Cimmeris,e out,'' After saying his words to them, Elder Boron summoned his Elemental spirit out of his spirit consciousness. As soon as he summoned out a ck transparent being came out of Elder Boron that looked just like a shadow that came out of the ground. "It''s been a long time, you summoned me, master," Cimmeris turned back and looked at Elder Boron before saying to him. That''s right! He was the first elemental spirit Ajax had ever seen in his life. He was the Elder Boron''s dark elemental spirit and had a very yful nature. "Construct the wooden house once again before the sun sets," Elder Born didn''t bother to answer Cimmeris'' question; instead he ordered him to construct the wooden house. "What? What happened to my wooden house?" When he heard Elder Boron''s words, Cimieris became worried and when he saw the destroyed wooden house he became agitated and hurriedly asked about the reason for his destruction. That reason he became agitated for the destruction of the wooden house was that he constructed it in the first ce. "Who did this, Master?" Despite his eerie look, Cimmeris cares so much about the things he built. So, he asked Elder Boron once again. "It is done by a high-level spirit beast; however, it is long gone before wee here. So, don''t waste any time and construct it before the sunset," Elder Boron didn''t say about the actual reason because he knew that Cimmeris would take revenge (Not killing them) on Hector and Damon. So, he didn''t let him know about it. "Yes master," Cimmeris nodded his head and started his work before muttering, ''If you encounter me in the future I will definitely kill you.'' If Damon and Hector were to know about his thoughts, they would definitely not leave Elder Boron''s side. Because Elder boron was the only one who could save them from Cimmeris. "Be careful in the future and don''t let him know about the truth; otherwise, he will toy with you for the rest of your life," Elder Boron warned them about Cimmeris before taking out a bed from his space ring and started resting on it. "..." When they heard Elder Boron''s words, both Damon and Hector became speechless. "Don''t think much and take rest for now," Jason came forward and patted their shoulders before asking them to rest. "Yes, big brother, Jason," "Thanks, big brother, Jason," Damon and Hector thanked Jason before moving towards a tree to take rest. ''You only have a single day to rest, afterwards, you will not find it anymore,'' Jason silently thought in his head before finding a ce to absorb the essence of nature.'' Chapter 512: Escape plan

512 Escape n

Ajax looked at the newly arrived elite demon general and raised his brows. "So, do you want to know the progress of my missions?" The newly arrived elite demon general was none other than the sixth demon king himself. However, Ajax doesn''t know that because all the demon kings have the cultivation of the King realm. ''...'' Ajax didn''t reply to the demon king, who was using one of his servants'' bodies toe to the human world. Instead, he silently thought, ''Since the system was unable to evaluate his strength, then he is definitely an elite demon general. I need to be careful and escape from here.'' The system could not evaluate the cultivation of high-level beings. So, by default Ajax considered the newly arrived demon as an elite demon general. With all of his trump cards, he could take care of a level 10 demon general; however, there was nothing he could do against the elite general realm cultivators. So, the first thing he thought was to escape from there. "Don''t be shy," When he got no reply from Ajax, the demon king chuckled at him as he continued, "Since you are able to dodge my earlier attack, I will say that information you want to know." The demon king looked at Ajax''s summons while saying that. ''Looks like I am going to kill a human genius who is a dual summoner. Not bad, not bad. It''s worth the trip,'' The demon king silently thought in his head and looked at Ajja before continuing, "Since you already know about the first and third purpose of my demon invasion. Let me tell you about the progress of the second one." The demon king took a small pause while looking at the main demon general and said, "I sent the famous Captain killer and his friend to kill the top three captains. In which, the demon killer is badly injured by the Captain Killer''s friend?before he is saved by the guild master and the Captain killer himself is keeping an eye on the other two top captains." "Huh? Who are you? Why are you saying this to me?" Ajax really didn''t understand what the newly arrived demon general was saying and why he was saying that. So, he asked him while thinking of a n to escape from that ce. "Oh...my bad. I forgot to introduce myself," The demon king smiled and continued, "I am the one that nned this invasion for those three purposes you already know. My name is Garreth and I am one of the demon kings of the demon world." He replied in a calm tone as the demon king introduced himself. "What? A demon king?" Ajax was shocked for a second as he could not believe his words; however, that shock didn''tst for much longer as he replied to the demon in front of him, "You are saying that a demon king and you came to watch over your servants? Haha¡­what a joke!" Ajax startedughing after finishing his words which made the demon king angry. "You" The demon king was very angry with Ajax''s mocking; however for some reason, he didn''t attack Ajax yet. ''Do you still have the stone with you?'' Instead of attacking Ajax, the demon king silently asked the main demon general about some stone through the voice transmission. While talking with the demon in front of him, Ajax ced his hand around the main demon general in order to protect him from the one who is iming himself a demon king. When he heard the low voice in his head, the main demon general became silent for a second before saying, ''Yes, Demon king. I have it. Please save me.'' The main demon general knew what would happen to him if he said that the stone was already used by Ajax on a demonic battle-axe. So, he lied without any hesitation. "Human brat, if you hand him over to me, I will let you and your summons go away without killing. So, leave him," After hearing that the stone was still with the main demon general, the Demon king heaved a sigh of relief and calmly gave Ajax a choice to choose. "Really?" Ajax acted as though he was really excited but he knew that never to believe a demon much less a demon king. "Yes, I will let you go as long as you leave him alone," the demon king replied with a small smile on his crude face. ''Once you leave him from your grasps, I will let you know the consequences of mocking me earlier...Hehe,'' Although he said that on the outside, inside his heart, he thought something else. "Okay," Ajax knew that he could not do anything against the demon in front of him as he was sure that the demon was an elite demon general and even if he used all his trumps cards, he could never win against him. "Good" The demon king was satisfied with Ajax''s foolishness and thought, ''Yes, just release him and go away from him.'' "Volcanis, Bane and others...thanks for your help. Now, go back and take a rest," Instead of releasing the main demon general, Ajax looked at his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and summoned them back into his inner world. ''Even if you sent them back into your spirit consciousness, as long as I kill you, they will all die long with you...Hehe,'' The demon king had a great amount of patience. So, he was never in a hurry and waited for Ajax to summon back his summons and silentlyughed in his head. ''What should I do now?'' After hearing the demon king''s offer earlier, Ajax was nning to dy as much time as possible. So, that he could escape from the demon king because he knew that demons never keep their promises. Moreover, he also knew that the demon king would definitely kill him as soon as he released the main demon general in his hands. After summoning back his summons, he looked at his surroundings for finding an escape route from the demon king. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to find an escape route. It was not only an escape route but it was also the reason why he hade to the cursed abyss. ''System, there should be the entrance of the ownerless dimensional crevice, right?'' Ajax silently asked the system in his head when he saw the same huge boulder he had seen in the map. ''Ding, Yes. The system gave a reply to his question and confirmed the location of the ownerless dimensional crevice. "What are you waiting for? Just leave him and go away from here," The demon king finally felt something was not right and hurried Ajax to leave the main demon general. "Nothing, I am thinking in which direction I should escape from and I found it," Ajax was not in a hurry because he knew that as long as the main demon general was in his hands, nothing would happen to him. With that thought in his mind, he slowly moved towards the entrance of the dimensional crevice with the main demon general in his hands. Chapter 513: Commiting Suicide?

513 Commiting Suicide?

''Huh? How long does he n to go along with him?'' Seeing Ajax''s actions of holding his hand around the main demon general, the demon king felt funny as he silently thought in his head. ''Let''s see,'' The demon king interestingly watched Ajax and slowly followed him. ''By the way, when you said something about the stone to that demon, are you talking about the stone I just used on the demonic battle-axe?'' As for Ajax, he slowlymunicated with the main demon general through the voice transmission while moving towards the dimensional crevice. When he heard those words, the main demon general became shocked and he became anxious. Because, if the demon king knew that the stone was not in his possession, he would definitely die in the hands of the demon king even if Ajax released him. ''I guessed it right,'' Just like the main demon general, Ajax also became anxious because if the demon king found out about the battle-axe in his possession. He would definitely kill him even with the main demon general in his hands. ''I need to hurry up,'' This was the only thought in Ajax''s mind. He knew that even the normal attack from that demon would severely injure him. ''What happens to you if he finds out that you gave me that stone to me?'' ''I will help you out if you silently co-operate with me,'' ''Otherwise, the one who dies first will be you,'' Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and hurriedly dragged the main demon general towards the dimensional crevice while continuously threatening the main demon general. With Ajax''s continuous warnings, the main general was unable to think anything properly as he was very anxious. ''Just a few more meters and I can escape from here,'' At the same time, Ajax kept his eyes on the demon king, the main demon general and the entrance of the ownerless dimensional crevice and it was only less than 20 meters away from him. ''This human is using me to escape from here. I can''t let that happen. If he escapes from here I will be the one to die in the hands of the demon king; however, if I inform that the stone is used on the demonic battle axe, which is now in Ajax''s hands, he will at most punishes me and not kill me,'' Finally, when Ajax was less than 10 metres away from the dimensional crevice, what he didn''t want to happen had happened in the head of the main demon general. That was he had finally been able to think clearly about the current situation he was in and decided to inform the demon king about the stone. ording to the demon king as long as he wants to kill Ajax, he could do it within a couple of the seconds. So, they both were not in a hurry. ''Demon king, the?stone is¡­..'' Soon, the main demon general briefly exined about all the events that had happened before the demon king had arrived here. ''What? He used the stone on a demonic battle-axe?'' The demon king became agitated when he learned the truth about the stone. "Hey, brat! Stop moving. Just give me the battle-axe that you have upgraded and I will let you live otherwise, I will simpy kill you and take it away from your space ring," Finally, the demon king no longer underestimated Ajax and directly asked him to give the battle-axe. "Haha...what do you think?" Ajax was only a few meters away from the entrance which he thought was the boulder itself and loudlyughed as he slowly moved a meter towards it. "I said stop moving," When he saw the mockingugh on Ajax''s face, the demon king no longer wanted to talk with him and said, "You want to do this in a hard way? Fine then." After saying that, he no longer cared for the main demon general and directly threw a dark fireball at Ajax and the main demon general. The ck fireball was giving an eerie feeling just from a look and Ajax also no longer bothered with the main demon general and jumped into the boulder before pushing the main demon general towards the ck fireball. ''Huh? Is he trying to hit his head or what?'' When the demon king saw Ajax jumped with his head towards therger boulder, he felt Ajax wasmitting a suicide. ''However, before youmit suicide my dark me will take your life...Haha,'' the demon king snapped his fingers and the ck coloured fireball''s speed increased all of a sudden. ''Cloud steps'' Ajax was careful and immediately used the level 2 cloud steps to escape from the ck fireball. ''Swosh'' Just when the ck fireball was about to touch Ajax, his speed increased as he entered into the huge boulder as though he had dived into the water. ''Boom'' The ck fireballnded on the huge fireball and instead of entering into it, the fireball exploded and destroyed the huge boulder. "What happened? How did he enter into a boulder? Unless there is the entrance to the ownerless dimensional crevice," The demon king muttered with a shocked expression on his face and hurriedly rushed towards the pieces of the destroyed boulder. ''Th..these are spatial waves,'' When he closely observed the area where the huge boulder was previously lying, the demon king sensed the spatial wave all over the ce. ''Damn it damn it,'' All of a sudden the demon king became angry and unconsciously he released his aura that made the main demon general groan in pain. ''Aarg'' ''Demon king¡­help me. Please,'' When the ck fireballnded on the huge boulder, the main demon was very close to it and he had suffered greatly from the explosion. He was already very weak and along with the explosion, he barely had any energy left in him. So, he begged the demon king to help him. "Yes...I totally forgot you," When he heard the main demon general''s begging, the demon king revealed a cruel smile on his face and slowly walked towards him. ''Huh?'' The main demon general felt something was definitely not right when he saw the look on the demon king''s face; however, he was in no position to escape from there. "Not only did you not find the entrance of the dimensional crevice but you also gave him the Demonic weapon enhance crystal," The demon king said to the main demon general in a serious tone while summoning around 10 ck-coloured fireballs in front of them. All of those fireballs were hovering in the air and waited for the order from the demon king. "Now, it''s time for your punishment," The demon king sat in a distance from the main demon general and continued, "For every mistake, you have done, you will receive one fireball. If you survive all the fireballs, I will help you," Demon revealed a cruel smile while looking at the main demon general. Chapter 514: Demonic Scroll

514 Demonic Scroll

''I hope I will survive this and take my revenge on that human brat,'' The main demon general silently steeled his heart and was ready to endure the suffering from the ck fireballs. "Now, let''s started with your mistakes," Finally, the demon king started his punishment for the main demon general, "Giving information about it is your first mistake," ''Snap'' ''Boom'' "Let him use it, is another mistake," ''Snap'' ''Boom'' "Bing a hostage to a human brat who had the cultivation of around level 1 elitemander realm," ''Snap'' ''Boom "And another mistake is keeping the entrance of the dimensional crevice under your nose and you still didn''t find it," ''Snap'' ''Boom'' Every time the demon king pointed out a mistake, he would snap his fingers and a ck fireball wouldnd on the main demon general. However, what was the most noticeable thing was, even when the ck fireball hadnded in him, the main demon general didn''t make any noise as though he was dead. "Huh? Using a secret technique to reduce your pain? Not bad, not bad," For some reason, the demon king praised the main demon general before saying, "However, let''s see how you are going to survive the remaining six ck fireballs at once." ''Snap'' All of a sudden, the six ck fireballs, which were hovering in the air rushed towards the main demon general when the demon king snapped his fingers. ''BOOM'' Unlike before, the explosion this time was very big and the sound came from it also resounded to a great distance. "Haha" Soon after the dust from the explosion was cleared and the demon king saw the main demon general''s body which was still intact even after the 10 dark fireballsnding on it. ??Now let me see whether you are still alive or not?" The demon king slowly came forwards and ced his hands on the main demon general''s head for a moment. "You are one hell of a demon," After finding out that the main demon general is still alive, the demon king became surprised as even elite demon generals never survived that many of his ck fireballs. "Since you helped me vent my anger, let me give you an opportunity," Although the demon king was still angry from Ajax''s escape, it was not much whenpared before he used his ck fireballs on the main demon general. So, he wanted to give an opportunity to the main demon general. While saying that, the demon king took out a scroll that gave an ominous feeling from his space ring. "Go" He threw the demonic scroll at the main demon general which entered into his body without any difficulty. ''Shh shh'' All the injuries on his body healed and at the same time, the main demon general''s body also started growing and became even more monstrous. It didn''t take much time before the transformation of the main demon general came to an end. "Thanks for the demon king for giving me such a great opportunity," Without any dy in time, the transformed demon general stood up from the ground and bowed in front of the demon king as he thanked him. "Hm" The demon king nodded his head and carefully observed the changes in the main demon general''s body before saying, "Not bad, not bad. You have reached level 2 of the elite general realm just after the demonic scroll entered into your body and it will continue to increase as long as you slowly absorb the remaining demonic energy from the demonic scroll." The demon king slowly gave some tips to the transformed demon general. "I will follow those instructions, demon king," After transformation, the main demon general became even more respectful towards the demon king and hurriedly replied to him. "Good," The demon king nodded his head at the demon general''s attitude towards him and continued, "From now on your name will be Delgoth. Remember." "Thank you, demon king, for my new life. Do you have anything I need to do now?" After thanking the demon king for his new name, the main demon general, who was now known as ''Delgoth'' asked the demon king. "That''s right! I have a task for you. Since you are much stronger than before,?I hope you can sessfully capture the human brat the moment hees out of the dimensional crevice," The demon king knows that Ajax had to go through the trial to im the ownerless dimensional crevice. So, he asked Delgoth to wait for Ajax. "Yes, Demon king.?I will definitely catch that brat and torture him for what he did to me and my team," When he heard about Ajax, Delgoth became even angrier than the demon king himself because Ajax was the first person in his life to put him in so much pain and he felt humiliated. So, he wanted to take revenge on Ajax for what he did. "Good. Since the brat is already entered the dimensional crevice now, no one will enter it until he finishes the trial. So, I am taking my leave now," The demon king gave his final set of instructions to Delgoth and walked away from there. ''Also, I can''t stay much longer in the human world because of my strength and this body would notst for much longer,'' Since the demon king was not in his true body, he could not stay much longer in the human world. "Just you wait, brat, before youe out of the dimensional crevice, I will absorb as much as demonic essence from the demonic scroll and then show you what the true pain is," After the demon king left that ce, the newly transformed main demon general said cross-legged on the same ce he stood until now and silently swore to himself about taking revenge on the Ajax. As for the demon king, he moved away from that ce and thought, ''What a waste to send my 20 percent of the demon army and can only aplish one thing among the three.'' He was frustrated as he felt that the number of resources he had spent on his missions was not worth it. Losing the 20 percent of the demon army under him was a huge blow to the sixth demon king, Garreth. ''No, I can''t return without aplishing another mission of mine,'' All of a sudden, the demon king thought of something and immediately took a paper talisman out of thin air and poured some demonic essence of nature into it. "Are you still there?" The demon king slowly spoke into the talisman and waited for the response from the talisman. "Yes, the demon king. I am still here, watching my targets and waiting for an opportunity to take them out," The demon king Garreth didn''t wait for much longer before the talisman in his hands lit up and soon, a voice could be heard from the talisman. Chapter 515: Captain Killers father

515 Captain Killer''s father

When the demon king Garreth heard the words from the talisman, he nodded his head. "I need you to kill at least two captains before you return back to the demon world. Do you understand?" Nevertheless, the demon king once again gave his order to kill the captains of the top 3 mercenary squads. The talisman in his hands was called a transmitting talisman that could be used tomunicate with each other in a specific distance depending on the quality of the talisman. The one in the hands of the demon king was a top-grade talisman. So, he was able tomunicate with an elite demon general titled ''Captain killer''. Since the demon king had invested 20 percent of his demon army to invade the Zrochester province, he wanted to take as many human lives as possible. However, killing high-level humans would be his priority. ''As long as he kills a top mercenary captain, all my losses will bepensated and if he kills two top captains, then I will be gaining a lot from the first demon king,'' Just like how humans would be rewarded by the mercenary guild or the royal family for killing the demons, the demon would also be rewarded by the leader of the demon kings also known as the first demon king. Although he didn''t like the first demon king, the sixth demon king, Garreth, was always envious about the resources in the first demon king''s possession. So, he was just trying to cover up his losses in this invasion after showing how much damage he had dealt with the human world. "I think, it''s a bitplicated here, demon king," However, what the demon king had expected didn''te out of the talisman; instead, a low unconfident voice came from it. "Huh? Why is itplicated?" Garreth raised his brows and asked the ''Captain killer'' about the reason for theplication. "Because the old guild master is keeping an eye on the surroundings of the two captains and I can barely able to watch them," Captain killer didn''t waste a single moment and exined about the guild master. ''Again? Damn it...why are you making things difficult for me?'' The demon king cursed the old guild master for always making things difficult for him. "Demon king, are you there? What should I do now?" While the demon king was cursing in his mind, he forgot to reply to the elite demon general on the other end of the talisman. So, he took a chance and asked for the instructions from the demon king. "For now, observe them. If you get a chance, kill them; however, don''t do something reckless. I need you alive as I have some other ns for you," The demon king came out of his thoughts and slowly gave his instructions to the ''Captain killer''. "Yes, demon king. I will keep that in mind," Captain killer nodded his head and calmly replied. The current form of the demon king was nor his true form. So, he could not stay much longer in the human world. So, he ended hismunication with the Captain killer after finishing his words. "I will try my best, Demon king or should I say father?" Even though he knew that themunication had ended, he said those words with a slight smile on his face. ''Since you care about me so much. Why don''t you reveal it to others?'' The demon who was called as the Captain killer continued to think in his head for the reason that the sixth demon king hid the fact that he was his own father. ''If not for the bloodline I have awakened recently, I would have no way of knowing the truth,'' he continued, ''Since you don''t want to let others know about it, then why do you care so much about me and secretly protect until I reach general realm?'' There were many questions in the head of the Captain killer about the sixth demon king. However, Captain killer didn''t have the tiniest bit of anger towards his father because he secretly protected him and continued to give resources that helped him reach the peak of the elite general realm in the least possible time. ''I hope you will announce it to the entire demon world that I am your son one day,'' He thought that the sixth demon king had his own reasons to hide the truth about their rtionship. So, he just hoped that the demon king would announce it to the entire demon world. Soon, the captain killer came out of his thoughts and looked at Edmond and the Blood rose. Along with them, there was the old guild master and Darbaudr. So, he didn''t want to risk it and continued to wait. ''I will observe for some more time and then return to the demon world,'' The captain killer had his own ns and things to do. So, he didn''t want to waste any more of his time on the mission which was impossible for him toplete. ... "When do you think the third batch of the demon army arrives?" The blood rose asked Edmond, who was beside her about the third batch of the demon army. Because it was more than an hour since they were silently increasing their essence of nature into their spirit consciousness. She became slightly impatient and asked Edmond about it. "ording to their previous invasions, the third batch of the demon army should have already been here. I wonder why they are taking so long this time," Edmond shook his head as he also didn''t about it. "Sigh" The blood rose sighed after hearing Edmond''s words and looked at the old guild master. "My thoughts are also the exact same as Edmond," the old guild master revealed a small helpless smile and continued, "By the way, Edmond, did you sense something?" All of a sudden, the old guild master asked Edmond with his brows raised. "Like someone is keeping an eye on us?" Edmond didn''t wait for the old guild master??s reply as he continued, "I had that feeling from the time the blood rose has met up with me; however, I was unable to sense a particr location as it is continuously changing every now and then." While saying that, Edmond pointed in a particr direction. "Now I sense from there," He pointed at the exact location of the captain killer which made the elite demon general be anxious all of a sudden. ''Shit...they found me. I need to escape from here,'' Until now, the captain killer had thought he was not spotted by any of the mercenaries; however, when he saw Edmond was pointing his finger in his direction, the demon didn''t want to take any risk and disappeared from the spot into the thin air. "Now it''s disappeared again," Edmond shook his head as he was not able to sense anything now. "Don''t worry, he is gone," The old guild master smiled as he replied to Edmond before continuing, "We will wait for another hour and leave from here." Chapter 516: Patience

516 Patience

Nevertheless, he still didn''t want to take a risk and decided to wait for another hour before leaving from there. "If the third batch of the demon army doesn''te what are our next ns? Shall we go and take care of the second batch of the demon army?" The blood rose looked at the guild master and asked their next n. She thought that since there were fewer chances for the third batch of the demon army toe there, then why not go and help Rulf with the second batch of the demon army. "No, he will take care of the second batch of the demon army," Edmond didn''t think much before rejecting her suggestion before quietly looking at the guild master. "Haha...yes he will take care of it," To the blood rose'' surprise, the guild master didn''t get angry; instead, heughed and agreed with Edmond before saying, "Moreover, the Royal family will send their reinforcements to aid Rulf and others." Since the demon army was moving towards the most important towns and cities of the Royal army, then the old guild master and Edmond didn''t have a tiny bit of worry as they knew that the royal family would definitely protect them. "Hm" The blood rose nodded her head after understanding their intentions. Soon everyone became silent and patiently waited for the third batch of the demon army which they were almost certain that would note. ...¡­.. Inside a pitch-ck space, "What is happening? Why am I feeling dizzy?" Ajax was hovering in seemingly endless space and his head was in a dizzy as he could not understand what was happening to him. ''That''s right. I jumped into the entrance of the dimensional crevice and lost consciousness for a while and now I feel dizzy,'' Soon, Ajax remembered everything and observed his surroundings. He was searching for something that could help me initiate the trial for the dimensional crevice. However, there was nothing but an endless space which made him raise his brows. ''System, are you there?'' The first thing that Ajax could rely on was none other than the system in his head and immediately contacted it. ''Ding, Yes. I am here, host. ''Phew'' Only when he heard the system''s reply, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief and asked the system, ''System, how to initiate the trial?'' Since Ajax was sure that he was inside the dimensional crevice, he asked the system about initiating the trial. ''Ding, Since this is a mission given by the system, the host needs toplete it on his own. Soon a system notification came to his head that made Ajax bitterly shook his head. ''You have a point there, system,'' Nevertheless, Ajax could understand the reason for not giving any hints about the trial because it was his mission toplete. "Hello, anyone here?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax started shouting. Although it seemed useless, Ajax knew that he was being watched by the spirit of the dimensional crevice. "I am ready for your trial," Even though he didn''t get any reply from the spirit of the dimensional crevice, Ajax continued to shout at it. "I know you are listening. If you don''t want to test me, then send me out and wait for another challenger that mighte who knows when," Since the dimensional crevice was not cooperative with him, he acted as though he had no interest in iming the dimensional crevice anymore. No matter how loud he shouted, the spirit of the dimensional crevice didn''t give any reply to him which made Ajax raise his brows. ''Why is it still not responding to my shouts?'' When he didn''t get any reply to his shouts, Ajax felt something was wrong. ''Am I already under some kind of trial?'' After pondering for a while, Ajax suddenly thought about this possibility and revealed a smile. ''Maybe, it is a trial of patience,'' Ajax suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about the trial and thought, ''Since you want to test my patience, I will let you know how patient I am.'' While thinking that, Ajax revealed a smile and closed his eyes before entering into his inner world in the spirit consciousness form. The benefit of the spirit consciousness form was to observe his spirit consciousness while the body would be immobile. Most of the cultivators never bother to stay in their spirit consciousness form because they would be bored to death as there was no use in staying longer in that form for them. However, in the case of Ajax, he not only had a spirit consciousness but he also had an inner world full of elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. ''You can test how many days you want to. Until then I will go and waste time with my elemental spirit and spirit beasts,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time before entering the inner world in his spirit consciousness form. ''Hello everyone,'' As soon as he entered the inner world, he greeted everyone before he started checking on the cultivation resources in the inner world. ''Good. Everything is in its best condition,'' He checked the elemental paradises, which were the most valuable things in his inner world and except for the fire and water elemental paradise, the rest of the elemental paradise had reached grade 2. ''Grade 3 thunder elemental paradise is benefiting those yin-yang fishes and the fishes increasing the concentration of the essence of nature in the inner world...Good,'' Ajax looked at the pair of ck and white fishes in the thunder pool and nodded his head in satisfaction. He totally stopped bothering about the trial and his body continued to hover in the endless space. "Next, let''s see how Necros is doing," Soon, Ajax walked into the dark elemental paradise and saw the ck coloured elemental spirit, which was sleeping peacefully. The reason for Necros'' deep sleep was because of the side effects of consuming the strength potion in the five elemental world to fight the older birdman. Because of that, Ajax was able to stay alive. ''Necros, wake up soon. You are missing all the fun by sleeping,'' From the system, Ajax knew that Necros was not in any danger; however, he needed some time to wake. So, Ajax silently muttered by cing his hands on Necros'' head. After Volcanis, Necros was the one elemental spirit that wants to fight. Necros was not in a position to fight the demon army and Ajax was absolutely sure that Necros would love killing them and consuming them. So, he said that Necros was missing all the fun. "I will enjoy the inner world''s environment for a while before deciding my next actions," Ajax didn''t bother his elemental spirits and spirit beasts as he took a walk in the inner world. Chapter 517: Friendly sword duel

517 Friendly sword duel

After a couple of weeks, with the help of the water from the thunder pool, the nts had grown quite well. All of the nts were high-level ones that were very rare in the Zorchester province. So, he was very happy with their growth. ''In a month or so, I can finally harvest most of the medicinal herbs from my mini medicinal garden,'' Looking at the one-meter nts in front of him, Ajax revealed a smile and looked at the empty spot amidst the medicinal herb garden. However, when he saw the empty spot in the herb garden, the happy smile on his face turned into a bitter look. ''I don''t what to do with it,'' Ajax already knew why there was an empty spot amidst all the medicinal herbs. It was the ce where he nted the mysterious seed he had got in the summoner king''s inheritance ground. ''I will let it stay in the ground for now until I find some information on it,'' Ajax already tried all the possible methods at hands and still didn''t find anything about the mysterious seed. So, he didn''t bother taking it out of the ground again. After checking on his mini medicinal herb garden, Ajax moved towards Volcanis as he had something to ask him. "Volcanis," Ajax called the fire elemental spirit through the contract and within a few seconds, Volcanis appeared in front of him. "Summoning master," Volcanis politely bowed to Ajax and waited for his orders. "How did your fight with the Hell Cerberus in the battle tower go?" Ajax slowly walked towards the fire and water elemental paradise and asked Volcanis about his fight. "It is really good and I am eager for another round after some training," Volcanis was excited when he heard Ajax''s question and hurriedly exined about it. "Good. Care to tell me what you got from the fight? I can sense there is something different about your me attacks," All of a sudden, Ajax sat some distance away from the elemental paradise and asked Volcanis about his insights in the fight. "I am d you asked, Master," Even if Ajax didn''t ask about it, Volcanis was already prepared to say about it. So, Volcanis started exining, "Amidst the fight with the Hell Cerberus, I had an enlightenment about the Hellfire and my orange coloured mes had now turned into ckish mes." Ajax didn''t say anything and continued to listen to Volcanis'' exnation about his mes. "Not only that, all my first attack now have an additional 50 percent of damage," Volcanis finished talking and sat beside Ajax under the orders of Ajax. Since Ajax had nothing to do now, he decided to work on his sword skills and if possible, he wanted to increase it to level 3 just like his spear dao. "I am already ready for a fight, summoning master," Volcanis never says no for a duel. So, he agreed to Ajax''s friendly sword duel. Soon, Volcanis and Ajax stood up from the ground. "By the way, I forgot to ask what is the level of your sword dao?" While taking out his inheritance sword from his spirit consciousness, Ajax asked Volcanis, who had already taken out his fire sword. "It is level 2 sword dao, master," Volcanis replied to Ajax and continued, "It is a unique type sword dao called Fire sword type." For every weapon, there were different types of daos like attacking type, fastest type and etc. Just like that Fire sword type dao was a unique sword dao that uses the fire as a sword. ''Fire sword type?'' Ajax raised his brows as he didn''t know about this type of sword and asked the system about it. ''Ding, A type of sword dao that uses the cultivator''s own fire to make a sword which is very sharp, does more damage. Note: It is more like an attacking type sword dao; however, this one has the burning effect or sometimes even burns the enemy into ashes. "I never thought there was such a type of sword dao. It is more powerful than my attacking type sword dao. So, let''s see," Ajax was excited to test his sword skills along with Volcanis sword dao and stood in the sword stance. The distance between Ajax and Volcanis was nearly 10 meters and both were ready to fight each other at any moment. "Master and Volcanis are fighting. Anyone wants to watch,e here quickly," As Ajax and Volcanis were ready to fight at any moment, Bane, in his usual excited form gathered all the elemental spirits and contracted spirits to watch the fight. ''Master is having a friendly spar?'' Spirus and the rest of the elemental spirits hurriedly responded to Bane''s loud shouts and immediately rushed towards them. ''Roar'' Just like the elemental spirits, the spirit beasts were also excited and hurriedly rushed to watch the fight. Soon, Ajax and Volcanis werepletely surrounded by the elemental spirit and the contracted spirit beasts. "Attack" Ajax didn''t mind his elemental spirits and spirit beasts and shouted while shing his sword at Volcanis. As soon as he shed his inheritance sword, a sword wave which was around 2 meters long came out of the sword and rushed towards Volcanis. ''Block'' The sword wave travelled with the same power for the ten meters which was eventually blocked by Volcanis with his fire sword. ''It''s powerful,'' Even though Volcanis was able to block the sword wave, he was still pushed back a couple of steps which made Volcanisment on the sword wave. "Now, it''s your turn," Ajax nodded his head at Volcanisment and asked him to do that same. ''sh'' Volcanis followed Ajax''s order and with full force, he released a sword wave from his fire sword. Unlike Ajax''s sword wave which was colourless, this sword wave had a little red-colour in it. ''Although the sword wave is not as big as mine, it looks more powerful than my sword wave,'' Ajax didn''t take the iing one-meter sword wave lightly and with his full power, he blocked the sword wave. "It is more powerful than I anticipated," Ajax was pushed back 5 steps even when he blocked the sword wave. "Now, let''s start the actual fight," Ajax was excited with the attacking power of Volcanis'' sword dao, which was more powerful than his attacking type sword dao. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''ng'' Soon the actual fight between Ajax and Volcans had started; however, they didn''t use any deadly sword attacks and used only normal attacks along with their sword daos. ''Master is clearly at a disadvantage against Volcanis; however, he is still keeping a good fight with him,'' While the fight was going on, Cerauno, who was also a sword user, slowly muttered to himself when he saw the fight. ''There is no chance, the master is going to win without using any trump card,'' Cerauno shook his head and waited for the fight to end. Chapter 518: Haunting phoenix coil

''Moreover, Volcanic'' cultivation is greater than Ajax and along with his passive skill ''King of fire'', Volcanis has more advantage in the fight against Ajax,'' Cerauno was not a normal elemental spirit as he had collected a profound knowledge in the elemental spirit world. So, he knew how to evaluate a fight. Nevertheless, Carauno continued to watch the fight hoping that Ajax would do some miracle and win against Volcanis in a sword fight. ''That''s right! I totally forgot about it,'' All of a sudden, Cerauno remembered something as his eyes lit up and waited for Ajax to win the fight. The sword fight between Ajax and his elemental spirit continued as the time passed on. ..... In the endless space, where Ajax''s body was hovering in the mid-air, While Ajax still had his eyes closed, in a small distance away from him, a small white light orb appeared out of nowhere. ''Swoosh'' Soon, that light orb transformed into an old human who wore white robes with thick blue borders on it. ''He is calm and patient,'' Looking at Ajax, the old man silently thought in his mind. ''But that''s still not enough for me to acknowledge you as my master,'' The old man revealed a cunning look on his face before saying, ''Let''s see what he will do if I increase the flow of time here into 10 times?'' With that thought in his mind, the old man silently muttered something for a moment and eagerly looked at Ajax. ''Huh?'' Soon, the old man raised his brows as he felt something was not right. ''How is that possible? How can he be patient for one year in the same spot?'' Although only a few minutes had passed by in the actual world, Ajax''s body had experienced a time period of one year in those few minutes. So, the old man was shocked to see that Ajax still didn''t open his eyes. ''Let me increase the flow of time onest time,'' He suppressed his shock and once again increased the time flow that was experienced by Ajax''s body. While an old man was ying with his body in the endless space, Ajax didn''t notice any changes in the inner world and continued to fight Volcanis. Soon, an hour passed by in the inner world since both of them had started the friendly sword duel. "Volcanis, don''t hold back any of your strength while attacking with your sword," Ajax looked at Volcanis, who was just pushed back by Ajax and told him to use his full power. "Since this is the sword duel, I will not use any of my other skills just like you, master," Volcanis heavily breathed as he replied to Ajax. "I know but I am saying that don''t hold back your firepower in your sword dao," Ajax smiled as he exined what he meant earlier. That was the reason why was able to maintain a stalemate with Volcanis. So, Ajax asked Volcsnis to don''t hold back his fire energy in his sword attacks. "But that is very dangerous, master" Volcanis shook his head as he knew that a moment of careless in doing that would severely injure Ajax. "No, my body is already tempered by the mes of the rank 6 inferno spirit''s mes. So, even if I failed to block or dodge your sword attacks, my body can endure them," Ajax shook his head and disagreed with Voais while exining about his me tempering in the five elemental world. "Hm," Volcanis thought for a moment before nodding his head and said, "So, be ready, master. Herees my ultimate sword attack." All of a sudden, Volcanis became excited as the mes on his fire sword intensified and increased in volume. "Haunting phoenix coil" Volcanis loudly shouted his strongest sword technique and shed at Ajax from the distance. ''Screech'' As soon as he did that, a fire phoenix came out of his sword and rushed towards Ajax with its huge wings. ''Here ites, Ajax,'' Ajax was also excited to see the powerful sword attacks from his elemental spirit and tightly held his inheritance sword. ''Mountian splitting sh'' With the same excitement on his face, Ajax waved his sword at the iing huge phoenix. ''Boom'' ''Swoosh'' The phoenix coiled the sword wave came from Ajax''s sword technique and sted it before rushing towards Ajax once again. ''Shit'' ''Mountian splitting sh'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and once again used his strongest sword technique at the iing phoenix before dodging from its path and waved his sword at Volcanis and sent a normal sword wave at him. ''Boom'' Just like before the phoenix once again coiled around the iing sword wave; however, this time, it was also destroyed in the st. ''Boom'' However, Volcanis was not as lucky as he was unable to block the normal sword wave, which Ajax sent by changing his position and he was sted away. ''Looks like the "Haunting phoenix coil" took a heavy toll on his body. That must be the reason for his less reaction speed,'' Ajax moved towards Volcanis and helped him stand up from the ground and said, "You need topletely perfect that sword technique." Although the sword technique looked powerful, Ajax knew that its power could be increased even more and he also knew that Volcanis need to take care of his inability to move from his ce after using that technique. "Yes, master. This is the technique I recently gained in the battle tower. So, I still need to practice more on this," Volcanis knew that he was still far from perfecting that sword technique. So, he nodded his head and agreed with Ajax. "Good. You didn''t even practice it and you are already able to use that sword technique. That''s wonderful," Ajax praised Volcanis as he knew that there was no time for Volcanis to practice that sword technique until now. "Cerauno, what are your thoughts about Volcanis sword technique," Ajax asked Cerauno, who was frowning about something. "It is a good sword technique...I think it is an excellent sword technique,"The frown on Cerauno''s face disappeared and reced with an excited expression as he praised Volcanis'' new sword technique. Is there something you want to tell me, Ceruano?" From the lightning elemental spirit''s behaviour, Ajax was able to sense there was something different about Cerauno. So, he directly asked him about it. "Yes, master. But I will say about it after some time or in a couple of days," Cerauno replied to Ajax with an apologetic expression on his face. "Sure," Ajax didn''t like to force any of his elemental spirits. So, he nodded his head. ..... In the endless space, ''Is he a human or what? How can he have that much patience,'' Finally, the old man looked at Ajax as though he was some kind of monster and moved towards him before lightly touching Ajax''s head. Chapter 519: First trial-completed

519 First trialpleted

''Sigh...why does he have only cultivation of the elitemander realm? What should I do now? Continue the trials or send him out?'' As soon as the light entered Ajax''s body, the old man was able to gauge Ajax''s strength and fell into a dilemma. ''Only a king realm cultivator can use the full power of my dimensional crevice. With his strength, it will only be used as a storage ce,'' The old man was still unable toe to a decision and continued to think about it. ''However, judging by his age, it is good cultivation in this lowly province. I guess I should proceed with the other trials,'' Finally, the old man decided to continue the other trials because Ajax was able to patiently wait for 100 years. (It is only an experience and Ajax didn''t age at all). ''Is he asleep or dead?'' Seeing that Ajax was still not opening his eyes even when he touched Ajax''s head, the old man felt that Ajax was dead. "You finally came out?" Just as the old man thought in his head, Ajax opened his eyes and asked the old man with a smile on his face. "For a moment, I thought you are dead...Haha," The old man jokingly replied to Ajax as he continued, "Congrattions for passing my first test." ''Just as I thought, he is testing my patience in this endless space,'' Ajax''s body was still hovering in the mid-air as he thought in his head. "Thank you, old man. What is your name?" Ajax thanked the old man and asked for his name. "I am just a spirit that is formed in the dimensional crevice and I have no name," The old man calmly replied to Ajax. "Oh. I know you are a spirit of the dimensional crevice; however, I thought you have a name," Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, "After I im the ownership of this dimensional crevice, I will give you a name. What do you say?" "Sure. I will be waiting then," The old man didn''t have any expression and on his face as he nonchntly replied to Ajax. Ajax had already known that every dimensional crevice had a spirit that guards the dimensional crevice and it could look anywhere in the dimensional crevice without even taking a single step. As long as you gain the trust of that spirit and manage to acknowledge you as its master, then you could be the owner of that dimensional crevice. ''Young men are always ambitious...good,'' Although the old man didn''t show any expression on his face, he praised Ajax for being ambitious. ording to the old man, every cultivator should be ambitious. Only then, they could aplish something in their life. While thinking about that, the old man waved his hands. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the seemingly endless space around them had disappeared and been reced by some kind of forest. Ajax was marvelled at the change of his surroundings and loudly eximed as he asked the old man about the ce. "This is the location of another one of your trials for iming the ownership of the dimensional crevice," The old man calmly answered Ajax''s question with the same nonchnt expression on his face. Ajax excitedly nodded his head after hearing the old man''s words and asked, "What is the trial?" Looking at the forest, Ajax was able to guess what kind of trial it was going to be; however, he asked the old man for full details. "Before I exin about your second trial. I have a question to ask you," The old man didn''t answer Ajax''s question; instead, he said he wanted to ask a question. "Sure, old man. Shoot your question," Ajax didn''t think much before nodding his head. "About your first trial, how are you able to patiently wait for 110 years?" The old man was still unable to figure out how Ajax managed to wait for that long. He asked this question because Ajax was not the first person to attempt in iming the ownership of the dimensional crevice. There were a couple of people in thatst 10-20 years who entered to gain the ownership of the dimensional crevice. Even though they had the cultivation of the elite general realm, they were unable to pass the first trial and they were forcefully sent out of the dimensional crevice. So, the old man felt it was quite a shocking feat by a young man with low cultivation and what''s more, he was from a lowly province. "110 years?" Ajax looked surprised when he heard the old man''s word and looked at the old man with his brows raised. "Yes. I made your mind and body experience 110 years. I want to know how you did it?" The old man''s voice had a small bit of curiosity in it while asking Ajax about his secret. "Because I isted my mind and whatever happens to my body or my surroundings, I will feel nothing," Ajax directly lied to the old man with a small smile on his face. "Oh," The old man finally understood Ajax''s little trick and nodded his head. ''Whatever, as long as he passes all the trials with whatever means he has, I don''t care,'' The old man didn''t have any issues with Ajax using his methods to finish his trials. So, he didn''t ask Ajax any more questions. "So, can you exin about the second trial?" Soon, Ajax asked the old man about the second trial after their small talk about Ajax''s secret. "Sure," The old man came out of his thoughts and snapped his fingers 3 times. ''Snap'' ''Roar'' After snapping his fingers for the first time, more than 100 rank 2 spirit beasts appeared somewhere far from them. ''Snap'' ''Roar'' For his second time snapping his fingers, 10 rank 3 spirit beasts appeared behind that previously appeared 100 rank 2 spirit beasts. ''Snap'' ''Roar'' When he snapped his fingers for thest time, only a single rank 4 spirit beast appeared behind all the previously summoned spirit beasts. As soon as the 111 spirit beasts of rank 2, rank 3 and rank 4 were summoned they started roaring. "I think I know what is the second trial now," Looking at the 111 spirit beasts in the distance, Ajax said to the old man. "And, what do you think it is?" The old man calmly asked Ajax about what he was thinking about the second trial. "Huh?" Ajax felt something when he heard the old man''s words. He felt like the old man was mocking him. However, he still continued to say what he had thought about the second trial. "I think the second trial is about killing all those spirit beasts in a specific time, right?" Ajax asked the old man with a confident look. ''Haha...'' When he heard Ajax''s words, the old man startedughing loudly before saying, "If that''s what you think about the second trial, then you are wrong.??? "Huh? Then what is it?" Ajax raised his brows as he asked the old man about the trial. Chapter 520: Additional rules

520 Additional rules

So, he asked the man about it. "The trial is very simple. You should not injure a single spirit beast and survive for only 5 minutes," The old man revealed a cunningly smile as he exined about the second trial. "Huh? Survival without injuring the spirit beasts? Got it," Ajax nodded his head and silently thought, ''The surviving for five minutes is not a problem; however, without injuring the spirit beast is a little troublesome.'' Soon, Ajax started thinking of a solution for that problem while observing all the spirit beasts in the distance. "Are you ready?" The old man asked Ajax before extending his hand at the spirit beasts. "Always," Ajax replied with a single word and at the same time he thought in his head, ''Cloud steps'' Since he should not injure them, there was only one thing he could do now and it was to run without getting caught to those ferocious spirit beasts. "By the way, I forgot to mention another important rule for this second trial," Just as Ajax activated his ''Cloud steps'', the smile on the old man''s face grew evenrger. "What is it?" Ajax raised his brows and felt a bad premonition in his heart as he asked about the rule. "You should not use your cultivation; however, in the worst-case situations, humans tend to unconsciously use their cultivation. So, to make sure you don''t use your cultivation, I am going to temporarily seal your cultivation," The old man extended his other hand and ced it on Ajax''s chest before muttering something. As soon as the old man stopped muttering, Ajax felt something in him was sealed and all of a sudden, he felt weak. "Now, all the rules are exined. Do you still want some time to adjust to your weakened body or do you want me to start the trial?" The old man asked Ajax with the same cunning smile on his face. ''How the hell am I going to finish this trial if my cultivation is sealed,'' Ajax cursed the old man in his heart; however, he didn''t show it on his face and replied, "I need a couple of minutes to adjust to my body." ''There should be some kind of way to pass this trial, I should immediately find it,'' While adjusting to his body, he also started thinking in his head about an easy way to finish this trial. ''I think, he added the additional rules after he saw me activating the cloud steps,'' Soon, Ajax realized something when he saw a cunning smile on the old man. "Although you only have cultivation of a level 1 elitemander real, you have no problem in killing all those spirit beasts. So, I modified the trial with some additional rules to keep the trial interesting," "But why?" Ajax calmly asked the old man the reason for which he had added the additional rules. "Because I like to keep things interesting...Haha," The old man smiled while replying to Ajax''s question. That''s right! The old man evaluated that Ajax had the battle prowess higher than his cultivation realm. So, he wanted to make things difficult for Ajax. ''That is the reason why I have kept trials, right?'' the old man supported himself with that thought because the one whopletes all his trial would be his master and he would be cing the future of the dimensional crevice in that person''s hands. So, the old man didn''t want to take any chances. The more powerful, patience, potential and intelligent the challenge had in him, the future of the dimensional crevice would be that great. ''There is no doubt, he has great potential, huge patience and is powerful among his peers; however, the most important thing in surviving a cultivation world will be intelligence. Now I want to test his intelligence,'' The old man had some set of qualities that his master should possess. So, the trials he was making Ajax go through would reveal all those qualities. Although Ajax had finished only one official trial, the old man was able to gauge many of the required qualities to be his master. ''As long as you sessfully finish this trial, I will acknowledge you as my master,'' The old man was excited to see the second trial because, if Ajax bes sessful, then the old man would get a master. "Time is up. I am starting the trial," Soon, the couple of minutes that Ajax had requested were passed by and the old man notified Ajax that he was going to start the trial. "I am ready," Although Ajax said he was ready; however, he still didn''t figure out a way to finish the trial. ''I still have my elemental spirits and spirit beasts? Since I can??t kill the spirit beasts, my elemental spirits and contracted spirit?beasts can kill them, right?'' Ajax thought in his head as though he was asking a question to the old man. That''s right! The old man was able to hear all his thoughts from the beginning. So, Ajax just thought about it as he was sure that the old man could hear his thoughts. "Along with your cultivation, I also sealed your spirit consciousness. So, you can''t summon them. If by chance you summoned them, I will deem it as you failed the trial," The old man''s words gave Ajax quite a shock that made Ajax feel hisst bit of hope also disappear. ''There is a way to finish this trial. You just have to think. THINK,'' As usual, whenever he loses all the hope, the old voice in his head appears to motivate him and it did the same thing now. ''Who are you doing this? You are that powerful?'' Along with the old voice, Ajax''s thoughts in his head moved at an incredible spread and felt a tiny bit of hope in finishing the second trial and immediately asked some questions. "Yes, I am omnipotent in this dimensional crevice. If I want to kill you, I can do it just by snapping my fingers," The old man proudly revealed about his powers. "So, are they all real spirit beasts or just projections," Ajax slowly asked about his actual question and carefully looked at the old man''s expressions. "You will find out when the spirit beasts eat your body...Haha," The old man understood Ajax''s intentions and replied with a mocking expression on his face. "Now, the trial begins," After giving an answer to Ajax''s earlier question, the old man didn''t give any time for Ajax to continue asking the questions and waved his hand at the spirit beasts, which were stationed at a distance from them. "All the best, challenger. I sincerely hope you will finish this trial," the old man disappeared from his ce leaving Ajax behind. ''Here, theye...Haha,'' Ajax revealed a small smile when he looked at the iing spirit beasts towards him. ******** Join my discord server for the web novel coins giveaway https://discord.gg/bCcF9pKRng Chapter 521: Sea tauren

''Although I am not sure, whether it works or not, I can only try it out to find it,'' Ajax muttered while looking at the iing spirit beasts. With his cultivation sealed and without the help of his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, there was no way, he could outrun the spirit beasts that were running towards him. So, he didn''t bother to run and looked at something around him. He waspletely surrounded byrge trees and as far as his eyes could see there were many trees across the horizon. ''If I climb the trees, I can escape of many spirit beasts; however, I will have no way to escape from the spirit beasts that could climb the trees,'' In Ajax''s mind, many thoughts were processed at lightning speed and soon he decided, ''In the end, I have to climb the trees for my idea to work.'' The idea which he got earlier, needed him to climb the trees and without wasting any more time, he climbed arge tree and carefully observed the iing spirit beasts. ''Looks like this is?my lucky day,'' After observing the iing spirit beasts, Ajax muttered in a low voice with a confident smile on his face. ''Huh? What is he nning to do?'' When he saw the confident smile on Ajax''s face, the old man raised his brows and thought in his head. ''Looks like I am not wrong in increasing the rules for this trial,'' Soon, the old man revealed a happy smile as though he was eager for Ajax toplete the trial. Every dimensional spirit needed a good master, who was powerful, patient and intelligent. So, if Ajax sessfullypletes the second trial, he would possess all the qualities that the current dimensional spirit, who was in the form of an old man, was looking for. So, of course, he was both excited and happy while looking at the confident smile on Ajax''s face. ..... ''15 dark element spirit beasts and 25 water element spirit beasts. If it is not a lucky day, then what is it?'' Ajax''s confidence continued to increase with each passing second as he counted the water-type and Dark-type spirit beasts from the iing spirit beast horde. ''What''s more, the rank 4 spirit beast is a water type beast which I am currentlycking in my army,'' Looking at the rank 4 spirit beast which was in a humanoid form, Ajax revealed a slight smile before using the system to get the information about it. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Sea tauren (Water-type) Cultivation:- Rank 4 Description:- A type of spirit beast that can go through the re-cultivation process and gain a humanoid form as long as they reach rank 4. "Huh? This is the first time I am seeing or hearing about this type of spirit beast. I can definitely say that this spirit beast is not from the Zrochester province," ''As long as I tame it, it doesn''t matter from where this water type spirit beast hase from, right?'' Ajax revealed a smile on his face. That''s right! From the beginning, his n was to tame two types of spirit beasts. They were water-type and Dark-type. That reason for selecting these two types of spirit beasts was very simple. Because he had the two titles that he had gained from the system. They were Dark-Elementalist and Water Elementalist. ''Along with a little effort and passive help from these two titles, I can tame the rank 4 spirit beast and since it is a humanoid being, I can tempt it with some cultivation resources,'' Ajax thought that taming a humanoid spirit beast was the easiest thing whenpared to the?non-human spirit beast. ''However, the problem is I need to reach the rank 4 Sea tauren without getting killed by the other spirit beasts,'' Ajax now started to think on how to reach the rank 4 spirit beast. ''To have a talk with the rank 4 spirit beast without any disturbance, I need to tame 15 dark-type spirit beasts and 25 water-type spirit beast'' It didn''t take much time before he thought of something and stopped bothering about the rank 4 spirit beast and concentrated on two types of the rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax took out hundreds of spirit stones of every element he had in his system inventory and threw them at the iing spirit beasts with his full force. ''Damn it...with my cultivation sealed, I can''t throw them very far,'' Ajax cursed a little and soon he thought, ''Even so, this distance will do.'' All the spirit stones were lying on the ground and when the spirit beasts saw those spirit?stones, all of a sudden they stopped in their tracks. ''That''s it. Go and eat them,'' Seeing them stop, Ajax became excited and at the same time, he was ready for the next step of his n. However, for the next step of his n, he needed all the spirit beasts to shift their focus from him to the spirit beast. ''Crunch'' ''Gulp'' All the spirit beasts were excited to see the spirit stones on the ground and excitedly munched on them. ''Now is the time,'' Soon, Ajax checked the location of most of the dark and water type spirit beasts and rushed towards them. ''Although I can waste dy the rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts with the spirit stones for a while, I can''t dy for 5 minutes,'' While moving Ajax continued to think about his next steps of the n. ''Moreover, the rank 4 spirit beast will not be that easy to distract with a low-level spirit stone,'' Ajax knew that a low-level spirit stone was not attractive to a rank 4 spirit beast and wanted to hurry up his n. ''Huh? Low-level spirit stone?'' Just like Ajax expected the rank 4 sea tauren, looked at the spirit beasts in front of him, which were munching on the low-level spirit stones and raised his thick brows. "Fools...stop eating and attack the challenger. As long as we kill him, we will get more rewards from the spirit of his dimensional crevice," The humanoid sea tauren spoke in a human speech and ordered the rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts in front of him to attack Ajax. ''Roar'' ''Roar'' As soon as all the?spirit beasts heard the sea tauren word''s they roared and started looking for Ajax. ''Roar'' However, to their surprise, they were not able to find him and looked at the sea tauren and roared as though they were asking him about Ajax. "Huh? Where is he?" Even the rank 4 spirit beast was unable to find Ajax for a moment and looked at the specific tree in the distance and revealed a smile, "So, you are hiding here." "Everyone, attack," Pointing his finger towards that specific tree, the rank 4 Sea Tauren ordered the rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts to attack. Chapter 522: Negotiating

522 Negotiating

Ajax, who was hiding behind the tree pointed by the rank 4 sea tauren, cursed it before escaping from there. ''Looks like, I need to change my ns now,'' With the current situation, Ajax felt that his previous ns would not work anymore and thought to change his ns. Because to tame the rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts, Ajax needed at least a minute; however, the rank 4 spirit beast was very careful and didn''t give Ajax any time to waste. ''System, how many minutes have passed from the moment the trial is started?'' While escaping, Ajax asked the system about the time. ''Ding, Remaining time for the trial:- 4 minutes Soon, the system sent the notification which had the remaining time for the trial. ''What? Only one minute has passed?'' Ajax was shocked to see that only minutes had passed because he felt at least three minutes had passed. ''Looks like the old man is nning dirty once again,'' It didn''t take much time to figure out that the old man was tampering with the trial time; however, he could not say anything to him because Ajax was unable to find the old man. ''Searching for me? Sorry, but you have to finish the trial, first,'' The old man, who was observing Ajax from the sky, silently muttered in his head as he smiled. For some reason, the old man continued to smile about something even when Ajax was at a disadvantage. Earlier, he was excited because he thought Ajax could finish the trial; however, now, Ajax was running away from the spirit beasts. As for why he was still excited about Ajax, no one knows. ''This running will not help me finish the trial,'' Ajax silently thought as he already knew he could not outrun those spirit beasts and continued thinking, "I will directly make a deal with that rank 4 spirit beast." Soon, instead of running away from the spirit beasts, Ajax decided to face them. ''Halt'' With that thought in his mind, all of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his tracks and faced towards the iing spirit beasts. "Hey, Sea tauren. I want to make a deal which is better than the deal you have made with the spirit of this dimensional crevice," With a loud voice, Ajax shouted at the iing spirit beasts. However, the rank 4 spirit beast didn''t give any reply nor any response to Ajax and the spirit beasts didn''t stop rushing towards him. At the same time the sea tauren revealed a mocking smile on his face and looked down on again while muttering, ''A human from a lowly province wants to make a deal with me? What a joke.'' However, Ajax was very far from the sea tauren and could not see the expression on his face. "Looks like I need to take out the item I want to trade with him," Ajax muttered to himself and hurriedly took out a green-coloured pill from his inventory. The moment he saw the pill in Ajax''s hands, the sea tauren was unable to speak normally and stuttered in his words. That pill was none other than Advance essence pills that he had created in the five elemental world. ording to his observations, An intelligent spirit beast would never resist the temptation of it. ''Why the heck are these spirit beasts still rushing toward me?'' Ajax, who was unaware of the rank 4 spirit beast''s condition after seeing the pill in his hands, became anxious because the spirit beasts were still rushing at me and they were less than 100 meters away from him. ''Damn it...what should I do now?'' The advanced essence pill was that item he wanted to trade with the rank 4 spirit beasts because even Snow, who was in the general realm now, could not resist its temptation. However, looking at the still rushing spirit beasts, Ajax became anxious and fell into a dilemma as he didn''t know what to do now. ''Looks like I am going to fail the trial,'' Soon, he became muddle-headed and lost hope in finishing the trial. ''Huh? What is that pill?'' The old man, who was observing Ajax from above, focused on the green-coloured pill in Ajax''s hand and thought to himself. Even though he had a vast knowledge about many things, alchemy was not one of them. So, he was unable to recognize the pill; however, he had a feeling that it was an interesting pill. "Anyway, I guess I became excited for nothing," Soon, he shook his head when he felt that Ajax had no way ofpleting the trial. Soon, the spirit beast horde had reached Ajax and they didn''t stop in their tracks as they wanted nothing but to kill Ajax. ''Stop'' Just when the spirit beasts were about to attack Ajax, a loud voice resounded in the surroundings that made all the spirit beasts stop in their tracks and hurriedly turned back to look at the source of that voice. "Just wait a minute, let''s see what is the deal of this human," The speaker was none other than the rank 4 spirit beast, the sea tauren. ''Roar'' All the spirit beasts roared in reply as techy cleared a way for him. ''Phew...I thought this is the end of me. Looks like the advanced essence pill is much valuable than I thought,'' Finally, when he heard the voice of the rank 4 seal tauren, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the sea tauren. The sea tauren walked towards Ajax inrge steps and only in a couple of steps he had reached Ajax and stood in front of him. ''Huh,'' Only now, Ajax was able to clearly see the rank 4 sea tauren and was shocked by his appearance, The sea tauren in front of him had a height of 2 meters with a cow face and in the ce of ears, he had two small gills. When he saw the sea tauren''s appear in a close distance, Ajax felt, ''This sea tauren looks even more dangerous than a demon general.'' "So, human. What kind of deal do you want to make with me?" While Ajax was in his thoughts, the sea tauren spoke in his crude voice and asked about Ajax''s deal. "I will give you this pill if you don''t bother me for another ten minutes," Soon, Ajax replied as he yed with a pill in his hands. "Sorry, I can''t do that," The sea tauren didn''t think much before rejecting Ajax''s deal. "Huh? Why?" Ajax didn''t understand why the sea tauren was rejecting his deal for a moment; however, he understood something. ''Looks like the spirit of this dimensional crevice has promised some good rewards them,'' Ajax silently thought in his head before taking out another advanced essence pill. ''An...another one?'' When he saw the other advanced essence pill in Ajax''s hands, the rank 4 sea tauren became shocked and his heart started beating furiously. ''What are those pills that can stop this arrogant sea tauren from attacking this challenger?'' The spirit of the dimensional crevice became surprised for a moment when he saw the expressions on the sea tauren''s face. Chapter 523: Demon worlds portal closed

523 Demon world''s portal closed

''Usually, he acts very arrogantly even though I am the one who gave him the shelter; however, now he didn''t have that look on his face,'' The old man was literally surprised by the sea tauren''s odd behaviour after seeing the green-coloured pill in Ajax''s hand. ''Interesting. Looks like there is still some chance for this human toplete the trial,'' The old man revealed a small smile on his face and carefully listened to their conversation. ..... In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, While Ajax was making a deal with the rank 4 sea tauren that looked like a humanoid cow, in the ownerless dimensional crevice, the old guild master and others were patiently waiting for the third batch of the demon army. "Okay then," All of a sudden, the old guild master stood up from the ground while continuing, "Looks like the demon army has stopped their invasion. Although we don''t know the reason for stopping their invasion all of a sudden, we still need to be careful in the next few days." While saying that, there was a serious expression on the old guild master''s face. "We understood, guild master and we will be careful," Blood rose and Edmond both nodded their heads and replied in unison after hearing the old guild master''s words. "Good," The guild master nodded his head and looked into the direction in which Rulf and the other two mercenary squads had gone with him. "Is there any news from Rulf," Although Edmond always liked to fight with Rulf. He didn''t want something to happen to Rulf as he knew Rulf was a very good cultivator. ''He is very good that one day that goodness will cost him his life,'' Edmond shook his head as he thought about Rulf''s personality. Rulf was an orphan, who had suffered many difficult things in the cruel cultivation world; however, everything had changed after he had met the guild master, who took great care of him along with teaching him about various things. However, Edmond knew that Rulf''s biggest weakness was Humanity. ''He only thinks of protecting the humans from other races; however, he still didn''t understand the cunningness of the Royal family and other top powers in the Zrochester province. I hope after today''s incident he will understand about them,'' Edmond knew almost everything about Rulf and always tried to change him. That was also the reason, they became rivals and could not stand the sight of one another. "As I expected. The royal family doesn''t want anything to happen to the people that have high value for them," After hearing the old guild master''s words, Edmond smiled as he looked at the guild master. "I will not forget today''s incident and will definitely pay back to the royal family," The old guild clenched his fists as he knew what would have happened if the third batch of the demon army came right after their spirit consciousness became empty. "Although I am not as experienced as you, guild master. I already knew about the intentions of the top powers. They want nothing but power and don''t want a new power to rise in the Zrochester province," After thinking for a moment, Edmond shared some of his beliefs and understanding of the top powers in the Zrochester province. Among all the top powers like Royal family, three top sects and five great families and the mercenary guild, the mercenary guild was the new power that started rising in the Zrochester province in thest two decades. All the old top powers thought that the mercenary guild was rising in power very fast, they wanted to stop it. So, they didn''t send reinforcements as they wanted more damage to happen to the mercenary guild and its mercenaries. "Anyway, back to the top," Soon, the old guild master stopped thinking about the top powers for now and continued, "Rulf said he has something to say and wanted all of you toe to the mercenary guild. What do you say?" The old guild master looked quite serious as he asked Edmond, Blood rose and Darbaudr. "I am always ready," "Me too" Both Edmond and Blood rose nodded their heads at the old guild master before looking at the Barbarian beside them. "I will go with you," Darbaudr agreed with the old guild master and decided to go to the mercenary guild to attend the meeting. "Huh? Where is Ajax?" When the old guild master looked at Darbaudr, he suddenly thought about Ajax and checked his surroundings to find him. "That''s right! I haven''t seen him for a couple of hours now," Soo, Edmond also started checking his surroundings as he became anxious. "No need to be worried. Master said that he was going to the mercenary residence building to take some rest," Looking at their worried faces, Darbaudr shook his head and lied to them about Ajax. Because Ajax wanted Darabudr to cover for him. So, he just followed his orders. "No wonder, I can''t sense Ajax within 10 kilometers around me," The old guild master revealed a smile and replied to Darbaudr. Soon, Edmond and Blood rose also stopped worrying about Ajax as they knew that Ajax now had the capabilities to venture the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. ''I guess, Ajax disappeared from here because he has some other things to do. I wonder how much his strength will increase after his return,'' Although Edmond didn''t know what exactly Ajax was doing to improve his cultivation in the shortest time possible, he didn''t doubt Ajax for being a demonic cultivator. So, he was looking forward to Ajax''s return. "Everyone, I am d all the mercenaries of my mercenary guild didn''t die. As for your hard work, I will increase your rewards for killing the demons by 100 percent. You can go and collect it from Sarah," After that, the old guild master turned towards the mercenaries who healed most of their wounds and said in a loud voice for every single mercenary to hear. "Excellent," "As expected of the guild master. Magnanimous as always" "Unlike the other top powers, the mercenary guild is the only top power that gives regr benefits to their members," When the mercenaries heard the old guild master''s words, they became excited and shouted out loud while muttering the good things about the mercenary guild. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, all the mercenaries didn''t waste any time and rushed towards the mercenary guild to exchange their kills for rewards from the mercenary guild. "Now, it is also time for us to go back to the mercenary guild and have a small meeting with Rulf and others," The old guild master looked at Edmond and others and revealed a smile that made Edmond think that the guild master was nning something. Chapter 524: Scheduled meeting

524 Scheduled meeting

"Guild master, what are you nning to do? Taking revenge on the top powers for letting down the mercenary guild?" Edmond asked with a smile as he knew about the guild master''s nature. He would not let those people go when they messed with him. "Haha...you will know in the meeting, Boy," The old guild masterughingly replied to Edmond as he called him a ''Boy''. When he heard the old guild?master''s words, he shook his head and said, "Shall we go now?" "Sure" The old guild master nodded his head as he looked at the Blood rose and said, "Summon your red-eyed bat. We will go flying as I have something to do on the way." After the blood rose'' red-eyed bat safely transported Edmond''s godsons and goddaughters to their squad building, it had returned back to the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Moreover, the reason why the old guild master asked the blood rose to summon the red-eyed bat as he had some work to do. "Sure guild master. My spirit beast will be happy to give you a ride," The blood rose didn''t mind at all; in fact, she felt that her red-eyed bat would be happy. While saying that she summoned her contracted spirit beast. "And if you don''t mind what is that work?" As usual, Edmond asked about the work that the old guild master wanted to do. "I have decided to call your seniors for the meeting we are about to have in the mercenary guild," The guild master replied with a serious face before mounting on the red-eyed bat. ''Huh? Looks like the guild master is very angry about the betrayal of the top powers,'' When he heard the old guild master''s words, Edmond didn''t ask any more questions and didn''t disturb the old guild master as he silently thought in his head. Soon, Edmond and others climbed the red-eyed bat and sat some distance away from the old guild master as they knew he had already surrounded himself with many mysterious items. "Go," After everyone settled on the back of the red-eyed bat, the blood rose gave her orders to it and soon flew towards the mercenary guild. Along the way, the old guild master started creating the red-coloured paper cranes. ''These paper cranes¡­..,'' When Edmond and the blood rose saw those paper cranes they remembered the paper cranes that were given to them by the old guild master. However, unlike their paper-cranes, these looked thicker and filled with arge amount of essence of nature. From a look, they could say that these paper cranes were designed to travelrge distances with greater speeds. With that thought in his mind, Edmond closed his eyes and tried to take a small nap. ''I wonder, to whom he is sending those letters?'' As for whom the guild masters were sending the paper cranes were known to only Edmond and the blood rose didn''t have much interaction with the old guild master. ''Young master, please be safe,'' And Darbaudr didn''t bother or cared about the old guild master and hoped that his master would be safe. ...¡­. "So, what will you say, if there are two of these pills?" Inside the dimensional crevice, Ajax yed with the two green-coloured pills in his hands and asked the sea tauren in front of him. "Although I deal is pretty good and it is equal to this dimensional crevice spirit''s promised reward for killing you, I still go for the old man''s deal," However, the sea tauren suppressed all his emotions as he shook his head as though he was still not interested in Ajax''s deal. "And why is it?" Ajax still didn''t understand why the sea tauren was not agreeing to his deal. "Because if I sessfully make you fail, I will get a water elemental paradise. So, now you say, what should I do?" Sea tauren calmly said as he looked at the sky. ''...'' Ajax became speechless after hearing the sea tauren''s words because if he was in his position, he would have also selected the water elemental paradise. ''Right! That''s it. This trial is never about surviving the trial because the five minutes that the old man said will never finish until I am killed by this sea tauren,'' Finally, Ajax got a revtion and his idea of dying for five minutes would be never sessful and he also understood what he had to do in order to sessfullyplete this trial. Because he felt that the time is running very slow in this dimensional crevice and even when he had a feeling that an hour had passed, the timer on the system is still showing three minutes. "This is simple. I have a way for you to get both the rewards. Now, do you want to make a deal?" Ajax revealed a small smile and asked the sea tauren as he had a feeling that the dimensional crevice was already in his hands. "Huh? Really? If it is true, I will help you with anything you want," When the sea tauren heard Ajax''s words, he became excited and hurriedly asked Ajax about it. "Yes. Do you know why the old man asked you to kill me?" Ajax nodded his head and asked something that made the sea tauren raise his brows. "Yes, it is about some trial," Nevertheless, the sea tauren answered Ajax''s question. "Looks like he has finally found out the true purpose of the trial," At the same time, the old man in the sky, who was carefully observing the conversation between Ajax and the sea tauren revealed a bright smile on his face. "Finally, I got a master with all the qualities I am looking for," The old man could not control his excitement as he had finally found a master with all the qualities he was looking for and stopped observing them any more before disappearing from the sky. As for where he went, no one knows. "You really don''t know about what the trial is for and blindly followed the old man''s orders?" Ajax really wondered, how could the sea tauren blindly follow the old man''s orders without asking about it. ''Looks like he is not as intelligent as I thought,'' Earlier, Ajax thought that the sea tauren was very intelligent; however, now, he understood he was not as clever as he had thought. "I am not supposed to ask those questions when the reward is very valuable. Moreover, the task for that reward is very simple," The sear tauren calmly replied to Ajax as he still didn''t understand what Ajax was trying to do. Chapter 525: Trial completed

525 Trialpleted

Finally, Ajax understood the reason for the ignorance of the sea tauren about the trial because he was getting a very valuable reward with almost no work. In that case, why would he bother to ask the old man about the details of the trial? If the old man was irritated with his questions, he would not have any chance to get the water elemental paradise. "Nevermind then. Let me give brief information on the trial," Without wasting any time, Ajax started exining the sea tauren about the trial. "The trial is to determine whether I have all the qualities to be the master of this dimensional. If I pass this trial, I will be the master of this ownerless dimensional crevice," While exining about the trial, Ajax had a bright smile on his face. "Ownerless dimensional crevice?" When the sea tauren heard Ajax''s words, he raised his brows and confusedly looked at Ajax as he felt something was wrong. ??Yes," Simrly, Ajax also felt something was not right; however, he nodded his head. "This dimensional crevice¡­." ''Don''t say anything about the dimensional crevice. It is not the time,'' Before the sea tauren couldplete his sentence he was stopped by a voice in his head which asked him not to say anything rting to the dimensional crevice to Ajax. ''Okay. But what happened to your master, old man?'' The sea tauren followed the suggestion of the voice in his head and asked a question to the voice. ''...'' However, there was no reply to his question as though the voice had disappeared without a trace. ''I know you are there, the spirit of the dimensional crevice. Give a reply to me, first. Are his injuries worsened?'' Nevertheless, the sea tauren didn''t give up on his question as he asked another question to the spirit of the dimensional crevice. That''s right! The voice in his head belongs to none other than the old man, who was the spirit of the dimensional crevice. ''His injuries worsened long back and he could not make it alive. That is the reason I have searching for a new master; otherwise, all the old aster has done so far wille to an end,'' After a moment of hesitation, the old man replied to the sea tauren which made him shake his head. "What happened? Why are you shaking your head? Are you not believing my words?" When Ajax saw the sea tauren was shaking his head, he felt that the sea tauren was not believing his words. So, he asked him about it. "No. I believe you and now, Ipletely understand what your deal is and I agree to it. Two of those green coloured pills along with the water elemental paradise in the dimensional crevice," Soon, the sea tauren replied to Ajax which ade Ajax excited and nodded his head as though he agreed to the deal. So, the sea tauren decided to let Ajax win the second trial. "It''s a deal then," Ajax extended his hand and shook hands with the sea tauren. ''Snap'' After that, the sea tauren snapped his fingers while looking at the surrounding spirit beasts. As soon as he snapped his fingers, all the surrounding rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts disappeared without a trace. ''Cool'' Ajax marvelled at the attitude of the sea tauren and thought, ''I wonder, from which province or realm did hee from?'' Ajax was 100 percent sure that the sea tauren definitely belongs to the high-level beings and the cultivation it had now was just a cover-up. "Hey, old man. Do you have any ns ofing out and announce the result?" As soon as he came to an agreement with the sea tauren, Ajax shouted and called the old man. ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax called the old man, he appeared in front of Ajax and bowed down in front of him and said, "I hereby acknowledge you as my master and follow all your orders without any hesitation." "Huh? So, all the trials arepleted? Good," Ajax didn''t expect there would be only two trials for iming the ownership of the dimensional crevice and excitedly asked the old man. "Master, although I used only two trials, you have all the qualities to im my dimensional crevice. So, I ended the trials with only two," Under Ajax''s orders the old man stopped bowing to Ajax and respectfully exined Ajax about the trials. "What is your name? You have one, right?" Ajax nodded his head as he asked the old man. "My name is Inys, Master," The spirit of the dimensional crevice answered Ajax''s question with the same respectful attitude. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head and controlled his excitement as he waited for the system notification which was supposed to inform him about thepletion of the mission. He didn''t think, the mission to im the ownership of the dimensional crevice would be this easier. He basically didn''t use any of his cultivation in the second trial and used the inner world in the first trial and became the master of the dimensional crevice. ''Anyway, let''splete the deal with the sea tauren,'' He felt that the system would send the notifications about his mission aplishment soon. So, before that, he wanted to fulfil his promised deal with the sea tauren. "Here, the promised two advance essence pills that can awaken the ancestral memories of a spirit beast and as for the water elemental paradise¡­.," He stopped his sentence halfway and looked at the old man. "Master, I forgot to say something," All of a sudden, there was a worried look on the old man''s face as he looked at the sea tauren and Ajax with an apologetic look on his face. ''Huh?'' Ajax and the sea tauren raised their brows as they looked at the old man named Inys and Ajax asked him, "What is it, Inys?" Aja felt something was definitely not right after seeing the apologetic look on Inys'' face. "Master, all the resources in the dimensional crevice are locked with a special mechanism which require the?master to possess a specific cultivation to gain ess to it," The old man briefly exined about something that made Ajax puzzled. "Huh? All the resources are locked?" Ajax became anxious as he asked the old man about it once again. "Yes, master. Only when the master reaches the King realm, he can have the ess to theplete dimensional crevice," The old man respectfully exined and said the cultivation realm that Ajax had to reach to gainplete ess to the dimensional crevice. "King realm? What are you saying? Stop joking around," Ajax could not believe his words as he asked the old man to stop joking around. However, the old man replied to Ajax''s question with a bitter sigh that made Ajax understand that what the old man had said until now was true. "So, can you tell me what I can ess with my current cultivation?" Chapter 526: Inys and Damilus

526 Inys and Damilus

So, he calmly asked Inys about it. "With the master''s current cultivation level, he only has the ess to enter the level 1 of the area which can be used to open shops and other business-rted stuff; however, the master still doesn''t have the permission to allow the outsiders into the dimensional crevice at the moment," The old man answered Ajax''s question in a single breath. "What the¡­! So, what can I do with the dimensional crevice? Just roam the ce?" Ajax didn''t expect this to happen because he thought that once he became the master of the dimensional crevice, he could open portals to other realms and open shops to be rich. Moreover, when he heard that he could not bring outsiders yet, he felt it was just another piece of emptynd. ''Sigh...from the next time, I should not keep great expectations,'' Ajax sighed as he mentally noted down to not have any high hopes on anything. "Master, don''t be sad. Once you be a king-realm cultivator and unlock all the special resources of the dimensional crevice, you will be marvelled for sure," The old man Inys tried to console Ajax as he briefed about the future prospects of the dimensional crevice. "Yeah. I keep hearing that from someone for a while now," Ajax shook his head and continued, "Nevermind, I will take it slow." The ''someone'' that Ajax mentioned was none other than the system. The system had many features that were currently locked and all he needed to do was be stronger and they would unlock on their own. So, Ajax decided to take it slow and wait until his cultivation had increased. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the ''im the reward'' mission. ''Ding, Aplishment rating:- Between A and A+ ''Ding, Energy orb that can increase two minor realms is stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. Note:- From now on, whenever the host uses the energy orb, the increment will be in both body cultivation and the spirit cultivation. For example, if the host uses thetest energy orb, the host''s both cultivation will be increased by a single minor realm. Just as he was about to ask for the name of the sea tauren, his head was flooded with the system notifications that informed about thepletion of the mission. Moreover, it also exined about usage of the energy orb for his integrated cultivations. He didn''t use the energy orb now, because he was not in a hurry to use it and looked at the sear tauren before asking, "What is your name?" "My name is Damilus. So, I am not getting my water elemental paradise now, am I right?" The sea tauren gave his name and asked about his water elemental paradise. "I am sorry, Damilus. You heard him, right? I don''t have ess to the water elemental paradise yet; however, as soon as I?have the ess, I will inform you and allow to cultivate in it," Ajax replied with?an apologetic tone because he had promised to give him that and Ajax don''t like to owe to someone. However, he promised that he would give it in the future. "Sigh" When Damilus, the sea tauren heard Ajax''s words, he sighed and looked at the old man Inys before saying, "So, if I killed him in the trial; how are you going topensate me, then?" There was a small doubt in Damilus'' head. It was that the old man promised to give him that water elemental paradise; however, now he was saying essing and other stuff. "I would have said the same thing as what the master has just said now...Hehe," After giving his answer to the sea tauren, the old man embarrassinglyughed. ''If not for your old master, I would have already left this half-destroyed dimensional crevice,'' Damilusmunicated with the old man through the voice transmission and scoffed at him before turning his head to Ajax and said, "Okay. But I want the water elemental paradise as soon as possible. So, I want you to increase your strength in the least possible time. Do you understand?" While saying that, the sea tauren had a very serious expression on his face which made Ajax understand that this sea tauren was just like him. That means the one who was seeking revenge for something. "I will try my best in increasing my cultivation level," Ajax replied to the sea tauren and turned his face to the old man Inys before asking him, " What level of cultivation realm I?need to achieve to gain the ess to the water elemental paradise?" Since he would be in sea tauren''s debt until he allowed him to cultivate in the water elemental paradise, Ajax wanted to get a rough idea of the ess to the water elemental paradise. "Actually, it depends on the amount of essence," The old man slowly started exining about the unlocking process of the resources of the dimensional crevice. "Master needs to pour his own essence of nature into the core of the dimensional crevice and when the essence of nature reached a specific target, the resources will be unlocked for the?usage of the master," The old man looked at Ajax''s doubts about the resources of the dimensional crevice. "What? I didn''t know a dimensional crevice would work like this or is it different?" ording to the knowledge of Ajax, a dimensional crevice was a ce inside the spatial cracks that connects with other provinces and it was mostly used for opening shops where the specific customers from all the provinces in the human world woulde to shop in there. ''Also, why the hell are there beings like the sear tauren and other spirit beasts in an ownerless dimensional crevice?'' Ajax continued to think about some of the odd things about his new dimensional crevice as he waited for the old man to give an answer for his earlier question. "It is a mutated dimensional crevice, Master. So there are some additional benefits for this one whenpared to other dimensional crevices," The old man didn''t think much before giving a reply to Ajax''s question. ''A mutated dimensional crevice? Still, it is impossible to have that many resources for a new dimensional crevice,'' Ajax knew it was impossible for an ownerless dimensional crevice to have many resources even if it was mutated; however, he didn''t ask any more questions as he felt that the old man was hiding something from him. ''Sorry master. But it is still not time for you to know all things when you are still in the elitemander realm,'' The old man apologized to Ajax in his head as he looked at Ajax who was in his own thoughts. Chapter 527: Truth

527 Truth

After thinking for a while, Ajax had finallye to a decision. Since the old man seemed to hide something from him about the dimensional crevice, Ajax decided to use the system. ''However, for that, I need to go to the core of the dimensional crevice,'' Ajax silently thought about it in head and at the same time, he looked at the old man in front of him. "Okay. Fine," Ajax started his own act as he nodded his head at the spirit of the dimensional crevice as though he was believing his words that this dimensional crevice was a mutated one. "Thank you for understanding, master," Finally, the old man Inys heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Ajax''s words. "No need to say that; however, I think, I am yet to see the core of the dimensional crevice. Do you mind taking me to that ce?" Soon, Ajax relieved his true intentions as he asked about the location of the core of the dimensional crevice. Even though the old man Inys epted him as his master, there were still some things he needed to do to officially be the master of the dimensional crevice. For that, Ajax needed to inject his true essence into the core of the dimensional crevice and along with his spirit imprint. "Master, I will take you to the location of the core of the dimensional crevice; however can you say what you are nning to do with it? The spirit of the dimensional crevice looked at Ajax with an anxious expression on his face as he continued to ask, "you want to put your spirit imprint on the core of the dimensional crevice, right?" It didn''t take much time or thinking for the old man Inys to know about Ajax true intentions and hurriedly asked about it. "Yes. Since you already said I am the master of the dimensional crevice, don''t I have the?right to put my spirit imprint and pour my essence of nature into the core of the dimensional crevice" Unlike the old man Inys, who was anxious, Ajax was calm and asked with a small smile on his face. ''...'' The old man Inys didn''t know what to say or how to exin Ajax about some things which he was not supposed to divulge until Ajax was strong enough; however, Ajax was making things difficult for him. "Sigh...I will take you to the core of the dimensional crevice; however, the master should not try to put your spirit imprint on the core yet," The old man Inys sighed as he finally agreed to Ajax''s request on one condition. "Why? Is there any problem?" Ajax could understand that the old man was only hiding something and he didn''t have any intentions to harm him. So, Ajax asked with a confused face as he was still not understanding what''s wrong with his new dimensional crevice. However, there were more restrictions on this new dimensional crevice whenpared to the resources in it. "At master''s current cultivation realm, if master tries to put your sprint imprint on the core of the dimensional crevice, it will not only absorb your essence of nature in your spirit consciousness; but, it will also absorb your bloodline and make you?dried wood," Soon, the old man gave the reason for his opposition of Ajax putting the spirit imprint on the core of the dimensional crevice. "What? How is it possible? Now, it''s enough. You better say all the details about this dimensional crevice," Ajax became shocked with the old man''s words and hurriedly asked him topletely say about this dimensional crevice. After finishing his words, Ajax seriously looked at the old man and waited for his answer. Ajax was finally fed up with the old man hiding the information of the dimensional crevice and continuously stared at the old man. However, the old man Inys didn''t give any reply and he looked like he was thinking about something. "Hey old man, just say it. He has already be your master. Sooner orter, he will find it anyway. So, why not just say it already?" Damilus, the sea tauren, who was standing beside Ajax from the beginning looked at the old man and tried to convince him to say the truth about it. ''...'' The old man stayed silent for a few more moments before finally opened his mouth and said, "Actually, this is not a newly formed dimensional crevice and I have a?master already, who died a few years back and from then, I started searching for a new master," the spirit of the dimensional spirits exined Ajax about the dimensional crevice and he continued, "Before his death, he sealed away all the resources of the dimensional crevice and wanted the new master of the dimensional crevice to unseal those resources on his own." After giving a lengthy exnation about the dimensional crevice and the reason for sealing the resources in it, the old man Inys heaved a sigh of relief as though he felt the weights on his heart were finally removed. "..." Looking at the old man, who was heaving a sigh of relief, Ajax became speechless and he felt it was quite unbelievable for him. "So, by pouring my essence of nature into the core of the dimensional crevice, I can unseal the resources of the dimensional crevice, right?" Ajax finally understood why this dimensional crevice had many resources whenpared to the other-dimensional crevices. Once a dimensional crevice falls under someone''s control, the first thing they would do was to build resources like elemental paradise or nting medicinal herbs. ''Looks like the previous master of this dimensional crevice must have a high cultivation realm,'' Since the previous master was able to procure and build many cultivation resources in the dimensional crevice, Ajax could guess that his cultivation must be quite high. ''That''s right! Inys said that only when I have the king realm cultivation, I will gain theplete ess of this dimensional crevice. So, that means, the previous master of the dimensional crevice must be at King realm,'' After a little thinking, Ajax concluded the cultivation of the previous master. "By the way, how did your previous master die?" Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts and asked the old man about the death of his previous master. "He died because his life span came to an end," The old man immediately answered Ajax''s question without wasting any time. Huh? Something seems fishy here,'' Once again Ajax felt that the old man was lying about the death of the old man; however, after seeing the sorrow look on the old man''s face, he didn''t continue to ask about it and changed the topic. "So, shall we go to the location of the core of the dimensional crevice?" Ajax asked the old man to take him to the core of the dimensional crevice as he wanted to see how it looks like. Chapter 528: Forming a spirit contrac

528 Forming a spirit contrac

The system had no way to assess the dimensional crevice without the core. So, he stopped asking the questions; instead, he ordered the old man to take him to the core of the dimensional crevice. "Sure," The old man Inys nodded his head and decided to take Ajax to the core because he felt he had already given enough information and why should not Ajax''s put his spirit imprint on the core. ''Finally, it is his decision to make,'' With that thought in his mind, the old man Inys looked at Damilus and said, "You can return back to your home now, Damilus." "I am in a mood to see the core of the dimensional crevice. So, why not take me there?" However, Damilus revealed a small smile as he requested the old man Inys to take him to the core. "Sorry, but I can''t let you see it," the old man didn??t think much before rejecting the sea tauren''s request. The reason the old man Inys rejected his request was that the core of the dimensional crevice was very sensitive and if Damilus had a change of mind or became greedy then it would lead to the destruction of the dimensional crevice. "Damn you old man. Why do you always treat me like a stranger?" Damilus cursed the old man for rejecting his visit to see the core of the dimensional crevice. ''Why? Is there any problem with him visiting the location of the core?'' Ajax became confused and asked the old man through voice transmission. ''Yes, master. Actually, this sea tauren is known for his greediness and that is the reason I used him for the second trial in order to let you tempt him with something,'' the old man revealed a smile as he replied to the Ajax and continued, ''So, after seeing the core of the dimensional crevice, he might covet it. So, it''s better to keep a distance from him.'' After hearing the old man''s voice transmission in his head, Ajax had gained a brief understanding of the sea tauren and thought, ''So, I need to be careful with him.'' In the cultivation world, greediness was the most dangerous aspectpared to many other evil aspects. So, Ajax thought to be careful with the sea tauren. ''No wonder, he stopped all the spirit beasts when I proposed a deal with him earlier,'' Finally, Ajax understood the reason for using the sea tauren for the trial. "Hmm...but you still owe me something, right?" Since the old man Inys had rejected his request, the sea tauren turned his face towards Ajax and revealed a cunning smile that made Ajax raise his brows. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the sea tauren for a moment before saying, "As I said earlier, the water elemental paradise will take some time. Until then, I ask you to patiently wait. Nevertheless, the sea tauren continued with his talk. Ajax knew what the sea tauren was saying. It means, since they owe him a reward, he was asking them to let him show the core of the dimensional crevice and he would wait as long as Ajax wanted. "..." "..." Both Ajax and the old man Inys have be speechless as they didn''t know what to do with the sea tauren for a moment. "Fine. I will take you to the location of the core of the dimensional crevice; however, I have a condition before taking you to that ce," After thinking for a moment, the old man Inys finally agreed to the sea tauren''s request on one condition. "Excellent. And what is that condition?" the sea tauren became satisfied with the old man''s words and asked about the condition. "The condition is, you have to be the master''s contracted spirit beast. If you say no, I will simply put you back into your favourite ce," This time, it was the old man''s turn to reveal a cunning smile and at the same time, he silentlymunicated with Ajax through voice transmission, ''Master, I got this under control. You just need to form a contract with him and it will over soon'' While saying that the old man was very confident that the sea tauren would definitely ept his deal. "What is this all about it?" Ajax didn''t understand what was happening around him anymore. Because he thought that the old man and the sea tauren were on close terms; however, from the looks of it, there was something more to it. ''Also, why does he want me to have a contract with the sea tauren?'' Ajax had nothing to do and patiently waited and at the same time tried to analyse the situation around him. "I can form a contract with your new master; however, I need something more other than taking a look at the?core of the dimensional crevice," As Ajax was in his own thoughts, the sea tauren agreed to the old man Inys'' deal as expected by the old man. ''Also, you keep your mouth shut for a while until I make a deal with my soon-to-be master. If you talk non-sense, I will simply reject your deal,'' After openly agreeing to the old man''s deal, the sea tauren silently warned the old man not to disturb him and Ajax for a while. ''Sure'' the old man nodded his head and silently thought in his head, ''Everything is going as nned. I hope my new master will not fall into his trap.'' The old man knew the importance of the sea tauren forming a contract with Ajax and revealed a smile because he thought everything was going as he nned. However, what his ns were and what motive he had behind his ns, no one knows. After for Ajax and the sea tauren, they both didn''t know that they were being yed by the old man Inys from the beginning. "What do you want then?" Even though Ajax still had his doubts about the dimensional crevice, he didn''t think it was harming him because the system had already said that he hadpleted the mission and as long as he takes a look at the core of the dimensional crevice he would know all details about what the old man was trying to do. So, he yed along with the old man''s act and asked the sea tauren what he wanted from him in order to form a contract with him. "As long as it is as valuable as the water elemental paradise, I have no problem with forming a contract with you," Damilus, the sea tauren calmly looked at Ajax as he gave some information about what he wanted. "Haha...You want a very valuable item to form a contract; however, did you think, what would happen after you formed a contract with me?" Finally, it was Ajax''s turn to reveal a cunning smile on his face. Chapter 529: Damilus joined Ajaxs army

529 Damilus joined Ajax''s army

So, even though Ajax gave something valuable to the sea tauren first and after forming a contract with him, he could easily get back that valuable item from a contracted spirit beast. "I have a feeling that you are not that cruel to take back an item from your contracted spirit beast and do you know what? They are rarely wrong," Unexpected to Ajax''s thoughts, Damilus, the sea tauren smiled a little as he continued, "So, I will take my chances." Even though Damilus said that in front of Ajax; inside his heart, he thought, ''I am already fed up with being confined in this broken down dimensional crevice. At least, after forming a contract with this human, I can go out of this dimensional crevice and wander the outside world for a while. The main reason, the sea tauren agreed to form a contract with the human was to go out of the dimensional crevice. Nevertheless, he didn''t show any of those thoughts on his face as he continued to bargain with Ajax to give a valuable item to him before forming a contract. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows and soon he shook his head because what the sea tauren said about him was true. Ajax didn''t have a habit of going back on his word or taking the items he gifted to someone. What''s more, he would never covet an item from his own elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. "Okay then. I promise that I will surely give something valuable to you after the spirit contract is done. What do you say?" Finally, Ajax promised to give something; however, he said he would give something who knows what, only after forming the spirit contract. ''...'' Damilus became speechless at Ajax and looked at Ajax as though he was thinking something. ''Interesting,'' By the side, the old man didn''t interfere with their conversation and continued to listen to them. At the same time, he felt the conversation between Ajax and the sea tauren was interesting. So, with a smile on his face, he continued to watch from the sidelines. "What? You don''t believe me? What happened to that feeling of yours now?" When he saw that the sea tauren was not giving any reply he asked a couple of questions with a scoff on his face. "Haha....you got me there. Let''s go with your deal then," All of a sudden, the sea tauren startedughing as he nodded his head and agreed to Ajax''s condition. "Good," Ajax revealed a smile and moved forward to ce his hand on the sea tauren'' head and slowly entered into his spirit consciousness. ''It''s serene and calm'' As soon as Ajax''s spirit consciousness form entered the spirit consciousness of the sea tauren, Ajax felt calm and rx with the environment inside the spirit consciousness. Without any surprises, Ajax already knew that it was the effect of the water-type spirit consciousness. That''s right! Every element-type spirit consciousness had its own effect. Although it had only a little effect, it was still there and only cultivators with keen sensing skills could notice the difference between various types of spirit consciousness. ''No wonder, Elder Born made me sense the various elements for four years which helped me to have the acute sense when ites to the elements,'' While floating in the sea tauren''s spirit consciousness, Ajax thought back to the time, when he had spent 4 years of meditation to gain a high sensitivity to the elements in nature. ''However, I still don''t know what it''s used for other than differentiating the elements,'' Soon, Ajax shook his head and stopped his thoughts about his past. ''This ce is good for my spirit imprint,'' After floating in the sea tauren''s spirit consciousness for a while, Ajax decided to ce his spirit imprint on a specific ce which he thought was the best. ''Phew...I am bing good at cing imprints,'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to ce a spirit imprint on his chosen ce in the sea tauren''s spirit consciousness. He heaved a sigh of relief as he muttered it. After cing spirit imprints on many spirit beasts, Ajax''s expertise in cing the spirit imprint on the spirit beasts'' spirit consciousness became an easy task for him. "The sprint imprint is sessfully ced," Thereafter, he came out of the spirit consciousness and stretched his body as though he had worked very hard. "Huh? Is it over already? You are fast," The old man Inys and the sea tauren Damilus became shocked with Ajax''s speed in cing the space imprint in his spirit consciousness. Because, to finish cing the spirit imprint on a spirit beast''s spirit consciousness would take much longer even for the high-level cultivators; however, their master had finished it in a couple of minutes which made them shocked for a moment and soon it turned into an exciting expression. "Yup. Do you want me to test it out," Ajax nodded his head and asked about testing it out. "No no no. I believe you," Damilus hurriedly stopped Ajax from testing it out and replied that he was believing his words. ''Ding, Congrattions to the master for sessfully forming a contract with a Sea tauren king. Please check the information on him in the contract spirit beasts'' section. While he was ying with the sea tauren, Ajax got the system notification he was waiting for and after taking a careful look at it he became surprised. ''A Sea tauren king? Good good good,'' Ajax''s mood became great with that system notification as he said the word?''Good'' three times. Because he already knew how powerful a king type spirit beasts. For an instance, take the golden bear king as an example. Even when he had only a mid-level rank 4 strength, he was in a stalemate with a low-level rank 5 spirit beast and if it was enraged it could kill that spirit beast with ease. So, Ajax was, of course, excited to gain another king-type spirit beast which was very unexpected for him. ''No wonders, the summoners have a total advantage when ites to taming the spirit beasts,'' The old man Inys became very excited that his master was a summoner. The old man already knew that Ajax was a summoner. So, he rted Ajax''s fast spirit imprint in the sea tauren with the summoning. ''As long as I wait until he reaches the king realm, then I have the high chances of going back to that ce,'' The old man Inys silently thought in his head as he respectfully looked at Ajax. As for what ce the old man was talking about was no one knows. "Master, it is time for you to keep your promise," As soon as the sea tauren believed that the spirit contract was sessfullypleted, he asked Ajax about his promise. "Of course I remember it," Ajax revealed a small smile on his face as he continued, "I am 100 percent sure that you are going to like this." Chapter 530: Disappointed Ancestor

530 Disappointed Ancestor

Hearing Ajax''s words, Damilus didn''t say anything and waited patiently to see what Ajax was trying to do. ''Hm'' The old man Inys also calmly observed them ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, the sea tauren disappeared from the old man''s sight; however, he knew that the sea tauren was summoned into Ajax''s spirit consciousness. Inside the inner world, Out of nowhere, Damilus who had disappeared from the dimensional crevice earlier appeared beside a small round pool. ''T..this ce...'' However, Damilus'' focus was not on the small pool and carefully observed his surroundings as he anxiously wondered where he was and what was this ce. ''That''s right! Master ced his hand and sent to e this ce,'' After thinking for a moment, Damilus recalled Ajax''s hand on his head and calmed down a bit. ''Hello there, Damilus,'' Just as he was wondering about his current location, he heard a familiar voice and hisst bit of worry also disappeared as he turned towards that voice and said, "Master, what is this ce?" The voice belongs to none other than Ajax and he appeared in his spirit consciousness form. "This is called inner world....," Soon, Ajax gave brief information about the inner world and this time he was not worried that the sea tauren would turn against him due to his greedy nature because he controlled the life and death of him. "Woah...this is as valuable as a high-level dimensional crevice," After learning about the inner world, Damilus was surprised and carefully looked at his surroundings. There were some elemental spirits and spirit beasts which werezing around or cultivating. He also noticed the medicinal herb garden and the rock golem which was situated in the middle. ''There are elemental paradises here? Woah,'' Among all the things in the inner world, the elemental paradises gave him quite a shock. "And there is one for you here," While Damilus was observing his surroundings and marvelling from time to time, Ajax pointed at the small pond beside them. ''Th...this is water elemental paradise,'' When he looked at the pond beside him, Damilus waspletely shocked because he didn''t notice it till now as his focus was on the things that were away from him. The pond beside him has two colours namely red and blue. Half of it was red and the other half was blue. "No, it''s not water elemental paradise. To be exact, it is fire and water dual elemental paradise," Ajax corrected the sea Damilus and informed about the elemental paradise. "Yes, I know master, but it unconsciously came out of the mouth," Damilus embarrassingly rubbed the back of his head while replying to Ajax. After finishing his words, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form disappeared from the inner world. While Ajax was inside the inner world, the old man Inys was in his own thoughts. ''Didn''t the master say he will give something to Damilus? Is he going back on his word?'' Still, he didn''t understand Ajax''s earlier words and his present actions while looking at Ajax with a confused face. "Don''t think I went back on my words and broke my promise," As soon as he came out of the inner world, Ajax shook his head as he could guess what the old man was thinking when he saw the expression on Inys'' face. "Then?" After thinking for a moment, the old man asked Ajax about his actions. "I kept my word and give him something valuable," Ajax replied to the old man before asking, "Now shall we go to the location of the core of the dimensional crevice?" Since he had settled the small issues with the sea tauren, Ajax urged the old man to take to the core of the dimensional crevice. "Yes, masters," As soon as he heard Ajax''s urging words, the old man Inys nodded his head and snapped his fingers which made both of them disappear from their current position. ... Some unknown location, ''Come in,'' In a dark room, an old man in ck robes opened his eyes all of a sudden when he sensed someone was standing outside his room. His face was entirely filled with wrinkles and had a pale face which made him look like he would not live much longer. "Ancestor, sorry for disturbing you from your meditation," As soon as the old man finished his words, a middle-aged man in the same type of ck robes entered the darkroom with a small light orb hovering in front of him and he apologized to the old man for his intrusion. They were none other than the group that killed the innocent children from the Silver Orphanage and tried to hunt down Ajax using the assassin sect. "No problem. How is the mission going? Did you find that boy?" However, the old man was not angry for awakening him from his meditation and asked about the mission. "I am here for the same reason Ancestor," the middle-aged man replied to the Ancestor in a shaky voice. As though he was afraid of something. "Then what are you waiting for? Just say it already," The old man named Ancestor raised his brows as he asked the middle-aged man in a serious tone. "Ancestor, the assassin sect is still asking for more time and said that they were having their own problems in the Zrochester province," The middle-aged man hurriedly finished his words in a single breath and silently observed the ancestor''s facial expressions. ''...'' The ancestor became silent for a moment and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him as though he was waiting for the middle-aged man to say something more. "Ancestor, one more important thing," All of a sudden, the middle-aged man remembered something and hurriedly said, "ording to our intel, the other organisations are keeping a keen eye on us. I think the news about the boy will be known to them. What should I do now, Ancestor." After finishing his words, the middle-aged man became even more anxious because he almost forgot to say something important to the ancestor. So, he prayed that the ancestor would not punish him. Actually, the reason he forgot was that he had waited for an entire day in front of the ancestor''s room and various thoughts rotated in his mind and he forgot about it. "This is your first andst time. Don''t repeat it; otherwise, you know what will happen, right?" The old man stroked his white beard as he wanted the middle-aged man. "Yes, ancestor," The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief as he hurriedly nodded his head. "This assassin sect is bing weak with the time. It is not even able to find a single person even when it is standing at the top in the Zrochester province. It is such a disappointment," Soon, the Ancestor shook his head while saying about the assassin sect. "Shall I give an order for its destruction, Ancestor?" the middle-aged man asked the old man with a serious expression on his face. ******** Join my discord server for the web novel coins giveaway https://discord.gg/bCcF9pKRng Chapter 531: Ancestors plans

531 Ancestor''s ns

"It''s just a little sect. Why bother destroying it when every single move of ours was watched by the other organisations?" The old man named Ancestor shook his head and stopped the middle-aged man from destroying it with a calm expression on his old wrinkled face. "But, they dared to fail their missions back to back and if it is known by other sects or organisations under us, they will start failing their missions too," However, the middle-aged man continued to persuade the old man with his words. "Haha....who said it will be not destroyed but just not by our hands," All of a sudden, the old man startedughing as he replied to the middle-aged man who was persuading him in destroying the assassin sect. The mighty assassin sect in the Zrochester province was seen as a little ant in the eyes of the middle-aged man and the ancestor. If the people of the Zrochester province were to hear their words they would definitely think that they were just some cultivators. Nevertheless, what they didn''t know was these people were not only capable of destroying the assassin sect but they could also destroy the royal family of the Zrochester province without much difficulty. "Huh?" When he heard his ancestor''s words, the middle-aged man raised his brows as he didn''t understand the meaning behind the words of the old man and asked, "Then, who is going to destroy the assassin sect?" "Who else? The person we are searching for from the beginning we do it for us," Ancestor revealed a cunning smile as he said who was going to destroy the assassin sect. "What? Is he that powerful already?" The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the ancestor''s words. Because how could a young man of around 15 years old, destroy the assassin sect that was guarded by many elite general realm cultivators? Even with the help of the ''item'' he had in his possession, it was impossible for that young man to be that powerful already. So, the middle-aged man felt it very hard to believe the ancestor''s words. "What? You are doubting my words now?" When he saw the expression on the middle-aged man''s face, the old man scoffed at him. "No no no, ancestor. It''s just I can''t believe that the young man had be that powerful already," Soon, the middle-aged man tried to cover his previous shocked expression while agreeing with the old man. "Sigh" The old man shook his head as he sighed while looking at the middle-aged man and said, "You still have no idea of that treasure in the young man''s possession." "Although he is still not that powerful enough to go head to head with the assassin sect,?he will reach there soon," After he finished his words, the old man looked at the middle-aged man and waited for an answer to his question. "How can I forget his parents. Within a short time period after their appearance, they turned all the organisations upside down," The middle-aged man answered with a terror in his eyes. "Since he is their son and along with their treasure, it is only a matter of time before hees here. Before that, he would definitely take revenge on the assassin sect because of their failed attempts on killing him," The old man slowly exined his assumptions about Ajax. "Ancestor, so let''s eliminate him before he bes even more powerful," The middle-aged man felt that it was better to kill the genius before he could be powerful. "Sigh...the chance to kill him has already passed and all we can do is to wait for him toe to us and as soon as he steps foot on ournd, let''s kill him," the ancestor sighed as to reject the middle-aged man''s idea about killing Ajax. "But, why ancestor? We can still..." All of a sudden, the middle-aged man thought about something and stopped his words abruptly. "Now you got it, right? With the other organisations keeping an eye on us, it is not good to move against that young man; however, even with the help of the treasure in his possession, it is will take more than a decade to catch up to me," the ancestor revealed a smile as he had already thought about many possibilities of how to kill Ajax. "I understood what your ns are, ancestor," Soon, the middle-aged man revealed a cunning smile on his face. "Good," the ancestor nodded his head and continued, "So, don''t disturb him until he bes powerful enough toe here." After finishing his words, the old man silently thought in his head, ''The more powerful he bes the more value he will have.'' After discussing about Ajax for a while, they started discussing the organisations that were keeping their eyes on them and some other matters. "Yes, ancestor. I will take my leave now," They talked for an hour before the middle-aged man stood up and left the room along with the small light orb in front of him. Once he left the room, the room turned pitch ck and the old man closed his eyes and started his mediation. ''Once I absorb his blood essence and take that item from him, then I will see who dares to stand in my way...hehe,'' Before he started his meditation, the old man revealed an eerie smile on his face and silently thought in his head. The old man knew that Ajax must have already integrated with the treasure. Moreover, he also became powerful enough to protect himself in the Zrochester province. So, he changed his strategy. Instead of letting others kill Ajax, he wanted to kill him with his own hands and wanted to use Ajax''s blood essence for his own use along with the system. That was the reason he wanted Ajax to be more powerful ande to us. So, he could kill him and enjoy his blood essence. ''No matter how powerful, you be in the Zrochester province, you will not reach my level that soon,'' The ancestor continued to think in his head and finally entered into his deep meditation. ...¡­ Inside the dimensional crevice, Ajax didn''t know that there was someone waiting for him to be powerful and he waspletely oblivious to the ancestor and the middle-aged man''s ns. At the moment, he was walking in a tunnel-like structure along with the old man Inys. "Huh?" Ajax carefully observed the patterns on the walls of the tunnel and raised his brows, before silently thinking in his head, ''There are definitely not some normal drawings.'' For some reason he felt they had a deep meaning; however, he was unable to find that meaning and continued to follow the old man Inys. "Is this the core of the dimensional crevice?" After walking for a few minutes, both Ajax and the?old man Inys reached a cave-like structure and Ajax saw something in the cave as he asked in a surprised tone Chapter 532: Core of the dimensional crevice

532 Core of the dimensional crevice

It was hovering in the mid-air and when he saw the sphere, Ajax was marvelled at the sight of the sphere. Although it was small, it was very beautiful with a mixture of blue and brown lights on it. "Master, this is my core," While Ajax was marvelling at the sight of the beautiful sphere in the mid-air, the old man Inys pointed at the sphere and said to Ajax. "It''s beautiful," Ajax praised the core of the dimension crevice and continued, "However there are many cracks on it that are obstructing its beauty." That''s right! Although it was very beautiful, the cracks on it decreased its beauty. "Master,..." The old man hesitated to say something for a moment but he remained silent and let Ajax observe the core of the dimensional crevice. ''It''s time to check the core of the dimensional crevice,'' He was waiting for this moment for a while now and soon he looked at the sphere with cracks on it before thinking in his head. ''Ding, Item name:- Core of the dimensional crevice (Broken) (Ownerless) Functions:-?Only the master of the dimensional crevice can see them. Description:- A high-level dimensional crevice that was half destroyed by someone unknown entities and forced it to escape to the Zorchester province. Note:- Although the spirit of the dimensional crevice noticed you as his master, the host still needed to inject 10000 units of the essence of nature in a single count to be the official owner of the dimensional crevice. Soon, the information on the dimensional crevice appeared in front of Ajax. ''Hm'' After seeing the information on the holographic screen in front of him, Ajax nodded his head as he understood something. From the cracks on the core of the dimensional crevice, it was very easy to notice that it was broken and what piqued his interest was the description. ''How powerful those people are, that they can easily destroy a high-level dimensional crevice and force it to escape,'' Ajax muttered as he felt that there were more powerful cultivators that even top powers of the Zrochester province would not dare to go against them. ''No wonder, the old man Inys warned me not to inject my essence of nature into the core; otherwise, it will definitely absorb everyst bit of my blood due to the insufficient essence of nature,'' After thinking about the powerful enemies that nearly destroyed the dimensional crevice for a moment, he thought back to the warning that the old man gave to Ajax beforeing to this ce. ''...'' The spirit of the dimensional crevice looked at Ajax without saying anything. "Now, do you mind telling about the enemies that nearly destroyed you?" After analyzing every detail about the dimensional crevice, Ajax asked the old man Inys, who stood behind him. "Huh?" When he heard Ajax''s words, the old anime raised his brows and became silent. "From the appearance of the dimensional crevice, it is very clear that something attacked it to its current stage and you are trying to find a new master to avenge you and your previous master, am I right?" Ajax scoffed at the old man for trying to use him for taking revenge on his enemies. "No no no, master," All of a sudden, the old man became anxious as he hurriedly shook his head and disagreed with Ajax''s assumptions. "So, what is it? From the beginning, you are keeping in the dark and hiding something. From this, I can conclude that you just want someone to take revenge for your previous master," Ajax didn''t believe the old man Inys because of the old man Inys'' past actions from the moment hepleted the second trial. "Although it is true that I was attacked by some powerful cultivators and in the process, my previous master used all his strength to shift this dimensional crevice to this lower province, he never said to take revenge on his behalf," the old man revealed a sorrow look on his face as he continued, "Even if I wanted to take the revenge on them, they are way out of our league. So, I never thought about revenge, master." While saying that, the old man''s voice was filled with sorrow and grief that made Ajax shake his head. "So, why are you hiding about the half-destroyed core of the dimensional crevice and other things like about your previous master," Even though he had sympathized with the spirit of the dimensional crevice, he still asked about the things that the old man was hiding from. ''It is not that I wanted to hide them from you. Even I don''t remember much after my core is destroyed by 80 percent,'' The old man Inys controlled his emotions from the loss of his previous master and slowly exined the reason for him hiding certain things. "What? Are you saying the truth?" Ajax became shocked and asked the old man whether he was saying that truth or not. "Ye..." "No need. I can feel that you are saying the truth," Before the old man could say something, Ajax interrupted the old man and believed his words for some reason. "So, what should we do now?" Ajax felt quit conflicted to im the ownership of this ownerless dimensional crevice because along with the dimensional crevice, he was quite certain that he had to face those powerful cultivators in the future. ''Is it really worth it to have a feud with the powerful cultivators for a dimensional crevice,'' Ajax silently pondered about the advantages and disadvantages of the iming the ownership of this dimensional crevice. ''Ding, The system believes that it is really worth it. As for what the host wants to do, the system will not interrupt his decision. As he was thinking about the ownership of the dimensional crevice, the system sent a notification which made Ajax surprised. ''This is the first time, the system gave a reply on its own,'' Ajax was really surprised when he saw the sudden system notification in front of him because the system never answers him on its own and what''s more, it would even ask for some units of the essence of nature for its answer. So, Ajax took this notification very seriously as he believed that the system''s words were rarely incorrect. "Since you think it''s worth, then I will try my best to be the official master of this dimensional crevice," Without any hesitation, Ajax decided to im the ownership of the dimensional crevice despite the fact that he had to face the powerful enemies because of it. ''Also, there is another reason for my decision to im the?ownership of this dimensional crevice,'' At the same time, Ajax silently thought in his head as he looked at the half-destroyed sphere. Chapter 533: Projection Talisman

533 Projection Talisman

''Since even the powerful cultivators wanted to destroy it, then there must be some reason for their actions. Either it has something valuable inside it or they must have feared the previous master from growing powerful,'' Ajax silently muttered in his head about the dimensional crevice. In general, a very powerful cultivator didn''t bother to kill someone with low cultivation with no apparent reason. In their eyes, others were just some ants trying their best to survive. So, Ajax thought that since some powerful cultivators tried to destroy the dimensional crevice and killed its previous master. Ajax felt that there was something that attracted the attention of those powerful cultivators. "Master, before my previous master died, he ordered me to give this to the next master of the dimensional crevice," As Ajax was in his thoughts about the secrets of the dimensional crevice, the old man Inys took out a silver-coloured talisman out of nowhere and gave it to Ajax by saying that it was from his previous master. "Huh?" Ajax became curious when he saw the shining talisman in the old man''s hands and took it. "Inject your essence of nature into it and activate it, master," While Ajax was observing the markings on the silver-coloured talisman, the old man slowly asked Ajax to activate. ''System, give the information on it'' However, Ajax didn''t blindly follow the old man''s words as he activated the system''s pay to know function because he still has some doubts about the old man. After the ''Pay to know'' feature had unlocked in the system features, the system stopped showing information on many things and only revealed the data on the most important things like the core of the dimensional crevice. However, for a talisman, it actively didn''t show the information about it. So, he activated the ''Pay to know'' system feature to know about the talisman in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Projection talisman Grade:-?Heaven grade Note:- It is already used and it contains some information in it. Soon, the system notification appeared in front of him revealing the name of the talisman. "A projection talisman of heaven grade?" When he saw the grade of the talisman, he was surprised because the highest grade of projection talisman in the Zrochester province was only an earth grade. What''s more, even those earth grade talisman were limited and whenever a talisman appeared in the market, it was quickly bought by the top powers of the Zrocester province. So, all top sects and families collect them and store the mostplicated cultivation lessons in it in order not to miss any details. "Yes, master. You must already know about it, right?" Since Ajax was able to recognise the talisman, the old man didn''t give any information about the talisman assuming that Ajax knew about it already. "Yes, I know about it," Ajax nodded his head and injected his essence of nature into it. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated the projection talisman, a projection appeared in front of him. The projected person looked like he was in histe twenties with white robes and white long hair. "Hello, sessor," As Ajax observed the projection of the person in front of him, that person greeted him. "Sessor? Since I am the new owner, he can say like that," Since Ajax inherited the dimensional crevice which already had a master but died, he was considered as a sessor to that man. "I can''t answer any new questions other than the ones I have already stored in it. So, feel free to ask any of your questions after I exin certain things to you first," the white-haired man revealed a small smile on his face and continued to speak without waiting for Ajax. ''Woah. It can answer my questions. As expected of a heaven grade project talisman,'' When he heard the white-haired man''s words, Ajax was amazed at the uses of a heaven grade projection talisman. Generally, an earth grade project talisman could only store the basic information and when someone wanted to hear it, they could only see and listen in the order. However, a projection in the heaven grade projection talisman could answer the questions that were stored in the talisman in any order. "My name is Tannas Valen and I am a half-elf and half-human," The man in the projection started introducing himself before saying, "I am the first owner of this dimensional crevice and I worked very hard to level it up from level 1 to level 3 which is called a high-level dimensional crevice. So, I?hope you will take care of it." Tannas Valen''s projection stopped for a moment as though he was reminiscing about something, a smile on his face grewrger. When Ajax heard Valen''s words, his eyes unconsciously shifted to that man''s ears which were pointy as he heard from the Elder Boron''s tales. "..." Ajax didn''t say anything and patiently waited for the half-elf to finish his exnation before he could ask some questions because he knew that even if he asked any questions, he would not answer him until he finished his speech. "I was around your age when I stumbled upon this dimensional crevice and collected various resources and developed it for the around 100 years," After a small pause Tannas once again continued speaking, "It...," There was nothing that was useful for Ajax from Valen''s words as he was just saying his bond with the dimensional crevice which made Ajax bored. ''Even though I was killed by some of my enemies for the treasures integrated with the dimensional crevice, my sessor need not take revenge for me; instead, I want you to continue developing my dimensional crevice. Just when I was about to die, I used myst bit of energy to move the dimensional crevice to this lowly province. It will seal all the treasures and you need to inject your essence of nature into the core to seal those treasure,'' After enduring for a while, Ajax''s interest was piqued by Tannas''s words and he nodded his head. "Moreover, when you unseal some of the treasures in the dimensional crevice, you need to be careful with their usage as it will bring destruction to you and the dimensional crevice," The projection slowed down its speed and finished speaking with the final line, "Now, you can ask what you want to know. If the answer to your question is stored in the talisman, then I will answer it; otherwise, I will remain silent." "Finally, it''s over. Now, it''s time to ask some questions," When he heard thest line of the half-elf in the projection, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and became excited. "Where are you from? I mean, which province you are from?" Ajax had long decided to ask this question. So, he started with this question. Chapter 534: Become stronger?

534 Be stronger?

So, he wanted to know the name of that higher province. "Haha...the moment I shifted this dimensional crevice to a lowly province, I know my sessor will definitely ask this question; however, the answer to your question will only be known to you once you be stronger," Tanna Valen''s projectionughed when he heard Ajax''s question and replied to him saying that he was not strong enough to know about it. ''Damn it...why would they all say the same thing?'' Ajax cursed inside his heart because it was not the first time he was hearing those words. When he had asked the system about its origins, it also said the same thing and asked him to be stronger. "Let''s do one thing. Answer all the questions that are stored in the talisman," Nevertheless, he controlled his anger and simply asked him to answer all the questions in the projection talisman. "Since you have no more questions, I will disappear then," Unexpectedly, the projection of the half-elf slowly started disappearing. "What? You haven''t answered any of my questions," Ajax became speechless for a moment and hurriedly asked the projection of the half-elf. "By the way, when you use some of the unsealed resources in the dimensional crevice in the future, be careful. There is a much bigger world outside of this lowly province," After finishing his words the half-elf disappeared and the projection talisman, which was hovering in the air turned into ashes. "What the..." Ajax didn''t understand what was happening and before he could understand what was happening the projection talisman turned into ashes. "Master, it is pre-recorded. So, when you didn''t ask any questions, the projection talisman thought there were no more questions and abruptly ended." Seeing that Ajax was a little bit angry, the old man Inys tried to exin the reason for the sudden ending of the record projection in the talisman. "Whatever, I will find the answers on my own," Ajax stopped bothering about his unsolved questions because he was confident that he would uncover them on his own; however, it would take some time. "By the way, I have a question for you," Since he could not ask questions to the previous master, he decided to ask the old man Inys. "Yes, master. As long as I know about it, I will definitely answer it to the best of knowledge," The old man Inys didn''t remember much because of the fight with some powerful cultivators; however, he wanted to help his new master in finding answers to his questions. Ajax had some knowledge about the dimensional crevices. A high-level dimensional crevice could follow its master wherever he goes. Even though he didn''t have high hopes on it, he asked the old man Inys. "If my core has not been damaged, I could have followed you, Master; however, now I can''t follow," the old man Inys shook his head. "No problem. I will try my best to help you in recovering your core," Ajax didn''t have high hopes, so it didn''t bother him much and he gave his word to the spirit of the dimensional crevice. "Since I am still not an official master of this dimensional crevice, I wille back when my spirit consciousness'' capacity reaches the 10000 units," After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave the dimensional crevice because the current dimensional crevice was not much use to him. Before he could be its official master, he decided to leave the dimensional crevice. "Sure, master," the old man Inys knew that his new master was still weak and could not even supply the essence of nature to his core yet. So, he nodded his head while understanding Ajax''s current situation. "By the way, how can I enter the dimensional crevice when Ie back here? Same way as I just did? Haha," Ajax half-jokingly asked the old man Inys with a small smile on his face. "No need to worry about jumping into a boulder master. Even if you did, you can''t enter the same way you came in because as soon as I recognised you as my master, all the entrances of the dimensional crevice will be closed," the old man Inys replied to Ajax with a serious expression on his face. "Huh?" When he heard those words, Ajax became a little confused and asked, "Then how can I enter the?dimensional crevice?" The smile on Ajax''s face froze as he asked the old man Inys about it. "You no need to worry master. As long as you are within a 1 kilometre radius, I can sense it and I will take you in the dimensional crevice," The spirit of the dimensional crevice smiled as he answered to Ajax to question. "Good," Ajax nodded his head and understood the process. ''It is only until I be the official master of the dimensional crevice. After that I cane and go as I want,'' Ajax silently thought in his head before saying something to the old man Inys. "By the way, the second trial is a bit cruel. Is it your master''s idea or your idea?" All of a sudden, Ajax remembered something about the second trial and asked the old man Inys. Ajax didn''t like trials that would cost the life of the participants. If the participants really didn''t mind their life and death in the trial, it was a different thing; however, when the trial didn''t give a chance to leave the trial was considered demonic to him. "It is my idea. My previous master left the chance of picking the new master to myself; however, there is not a single bit of danger in the second trial," Unexpectedly, the spirit of the dimensional crevice revealed a smile as he said that there was no danger in the second trial. "Then?" Ajax clearly saw the killing intentions in the eyes of the sea tauren and other spirit beasts. So, he was not convinced by the old man''s answer and asked him to clearly exin about it. "Although it seemed dangerous, there is no danger in the second trial because as long as any of the spirit beasts touches the participant, they will be transported to the outside of the dimensional crevice," The old man clearly exined about the second trial. "Woah" Ajax was really surprised when he heard those words and felt better that the spirit of the dimensional crevice was not interested in taking the lives of the cultivator for no reason. "Compared to the second trial, the first trial is very hard and the previous two participants could not evenst for a few minutes before they were thrown out of?the dimensional crevice with their memories wiped," However, theter words of the old man Inys shocked Ajax. Chapter 535: Converting contribution points

535 Converting contribution points

However, when he heard the old man Inys'' words he was shocked that the first trial was the most difficult one whenpared to the second trial. "Don''t feel too surprised, master," The old man Inys felt something was not right and asked, "By the way, how did you patiently wait for the 111 years in the endless space, master." In fact, it was the old man Inys, who was surprised the most because it was not amon thing to wait patiently in the endless space without doing anything. "What? 111 years?" Ajax was shocked when he heard the old man''s words as he still didn''t know that his body had experienced 111 years by some mysterious technique from the old man. "Yes, master. Inside the dimensional crevice, I can control the time felt by others. Even though less than an hour has passed in the first trial, your mind and body experienced around 111 years which made me surprised," The spirit of the dimensional crevice slowly exined the logic behind the first trial. ''I guess, I did a good job by entering the inner world; otherwise, I would have definitely failed the trial,'' Ajax silently thought in his head thinking back to the first trial. However, what he didn''t know was the old man had increased the time experienced by Ajax''s body by 100 years because he didn''t even show a tiny bit of irritation that made the old man curious to test Ajax''s limit. To the old man''s surprise, Ajax managed to remain in the endless space without any expression on his face which made the old man let Ajax pass the trial. "Master, you still didn''t say how you managed to wait patiently in the endless space," While Ajax was in his thoughts about the first trial, the spirit of the dimensional crevice woke him up from his thoughts. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows and continued to think, ''Should I say I cheated the first trial?'' He hesitated for a moment before deciding to say about his cheating. "If you don''t want to say, then forget I even asked it, master," Seeing that Ajax remained silent, the old man Inys thought that Ajax didn''t want to share his secret. So, he respectfully said Ajax not to share it he doesn''t like to share. "I cheated in the first trial; however, I can''t say how I cheated you yet," Ajax looked at the old man Inys and said that he had cheated in the trial. "Actually, there are no rules in the first trial. As long as you remain patient before I touch you, you are qualified for the second trial," The old man revealed a smile as he said ording to him, there was no cheating in the first trial. "Good hear that...haha," Ajaxughed when he heard the old man''s exnation as he shook his head. Since the old man Inys could take care of everything in the dimensional crevice, Ajax decided to go back to the squad building. ''Once I go back, I will take some good rest,'' This was the only thought in his mind as he was running here and there for the past few days. Since he came to the Cursed wilderness along with his senior brother Paulin, he had experienced many events like undergoing a trial in the Never returning cave, visiting the ck market and fighting the old man in the dimensional crevice, fighting the chimera-like creatures, entering the five-elemental world, fighting the demon army, killing an elite squad under the demon king Garreth and finally undergoing the trials in the ownerless dimensional crevice. After going through this many events, what he wanted was a good rest and he decided to take that rest and stop bothering about the missions for a couple of days. "Sure, master. But I hope youe back soon with the 10000 units of spirit consciousness capacity," The old man nodded his head and suggested Ajax toe back to the dimensional crevice as soon as possible. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head and waited for the old man to send him out of the dimensional crevice. "Swoosh" Soon the old man Inys waved his hands and Ajax started disappearing from the dimensional crevice and appeared at the ce where he entered the dimensional crevice. "Looks like my guess is right and the demon king has already left to the demon world," Ajax noticed that the demon king''s face was pale and assumed that he could not stay much longer in the human world. So, he didn''t ask the old man Inys to check for the demon king. "Time to meet up with others," Soon, he checked his surroundings and muttered to him in a low voice. "Twilight,e out and fly towards the exit of the cursed wilderness," He summoned the destructive dragon from his inner world and mounted on it before giving him the order to fly towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. ''Roar'' Hearing his master''s orders, the dragon roared and started flying towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. ..... At the mercenary guild building, The mercenary guild was bustling with hundreds of mercenaries who participated in the fight against the demon army. They were all here to collect their rewards from the mercenary guild. "Only the captains of each mercenary squad are allowed to form the line to get the rewards for himself and his squad members, Do you understand?" Sarah, the beautiful receptionist of the mercenary guild used some kind of artifact to increase the pitch of her voice and gave instructions to the mercenary squad captains. "Also, all the mercenary squad?captains are requested to collect the data collecting bracelets from your squad members before joining the line," After giving all the instructions to the captains of the mercenary squads, Sarah went back to the counter and sat in her seat. "Good," After arranging all the things around her, she looked at the long line in front of her counter and satisfyingly nodded her head before asking them toe for the evaluation of their points in the bracelets and rewards. "11000 points," "6657 points" "4762 points" "1200 points" "1199 points" Soon, she collected the five data collecting bracelets from a captain of the mercenary squad and counted the contribution points in each bracelet. "Do you want 50000 spirit stones or a low-level heaven grade weapon?" After calcting the contribution points, Sarah asked that captain for his choice in selecting the rewards for the contribution points. "Of course I will pick a low-level heaven grade weapon," Without any hesitation, that captain picked the heaven grade weapon because it was very difficult to buy even with the spirit stones. "Follow him and pick a weapon of your choice," Sarah nodded her head and asked the captain to follow an old man who appeared out of nowhere. However, no one was shocked or surprised as though they were used to it. Soon, the process repeated as the captains exchanged their contribution points for either spirit stones or some other items. Chapter 536: Five powerful old cultivators

536 Five powerful old cultivators

"What is that?" One of the mercenaries pointed his finger at the powerful aura and asked his squad members. "Someone ising in this direction and he is very powerful," Soon the captain of that mercenary squad squinted his eyes and carefully observed in that direction. He saw an old man was flying in their direction while releasing his powerful aura to his surroundings. "Is he our guild master?" Except for the captains, no one could clearly see who wasing towards them. Since he wasing from the direction of the cursed wilderness, they thought he was their guild master. Because only the guild master was the powerful person that dared toe to the mercenary guild while releasing their aura making all the low-level mercenaries think it was the guild master. "No, he is not our guild master. He is someone else," However, all the captains slowly exined to their squad members. "What?" "Does he have a death wish or what?" "If the guild master finds out about his rudeness, then our guild master will definitely punish him," As soon as they heard their respective captain''s words, all the mercenaries were shocked at first andter they felt pity at the man that was flying in their direction. It was strictly forbidden to fly around the mercenary guild and what''s more the old man flying towards them even emitting his powerful aura. "Hey look, there is another idiot flying in this direction while emitting his powerful aura," "There is another one," "I see someone in that direction too," "Oh my god. There is another one," Soon, the mercenaries felt four more powerful auras simr to the first one they saw from various directions and asked one another. ''Huh? Why are theying, now?'' Unlike the mercenaries, Sarah, who was at the counter silently thought in her head when she saw the figures flying from different directions. ''Did the guild master call them? But he has still not returned from the Cursed wilderness?'' She continued to think in her head about the reason for the appearance of those five figures. All the five figures that were flying towards the mercenary guild were old and only one of them was female while the rest of them were male. ''Anyway, the guild master ordered me that whenever I see them I should not bother them or speak them unless they speak to me first,'' With that thought in her mind, she focused on her job and converting the contribution points as though she didn''t see anyone flying towards the mercenary guild. "Give you bracelets," ''Looks like there is no need to worry about them,'' Soon, this was the only thought in all the mercenaries'' heads because Sarah was still calm and they felt there was no troubleing from the five figuresing at them. When they saw a single figure, they thought he was courting death by simply flying towards the mercenary guild; however, when they saw the four more powerful auras they felt a little bit worried because they didn''t know what their motive was in flying towards the mercenary guild. However, their worry disappeared after seeing the calmness on Sarah''s face and continued with their own works. ''Swoosh'' As for the five flying figures in the sky, they abruptly stopped above the mercenary guild building and looked at each other before looking in the direction of the cursed wilderness and disappeared without a trace. "What? Where did they go?" "Are my eyes ying tricks on me?" "I am also feeling the same thing. But I am sure that I saw them stopping above the mercenary guild building for a moment before they disappeared into thin air," Even though they wanted to stop paying attention to the powerful figures in the air they could not help but take a look from time to time. So, when they noticed that the five powerful figures had disappeared, they hurriedly checked their surroundings fearing that they had descended among them. "Everyone, calm down. If anyone makes any noise, I will revoke their identity as the mercenary and then you will not get rewards for your contribution points," Sarah became anxious when she heard their conversations fearing that the five powerful figures might be angry at their conversations and asked them to stay silent with a serious voice. "..." Until now, they had never seen Sarah be serious and she always used to have a smile on her face. However, when they saw the serious face of Sarah, all the mercenaries became silent and they felt something was not right. Nevertheless, they all be silent not because Sarah warned that she would revoke their identity but they understood it was better for them to remain silent for a while. ..... Inside the guild master''s room in the mercenary guild, "She is not bad. She was able to make others silent with only simple words," One of the old men who disappeared from before said to the other four powerful cultivators, who sat in front of him. That''s right! The five powerful figures, who disappeared from the top of the mercenary building mysteriously appeared in the guild master''s room and adjusted themselves in that room. Among the five powerful figures, one man praised Sarah in controlling the mercenaries with only a few simple words. "Not bad? I will say, she is good," However, the only female among the five powerful cultivators, scoffed at that old man as though she felt it that Sarah was better than that. "Haha...I agree with Sandra on this one," "Me too" "Sorry Esmund, I agree with the rest of others," As soon as the olddy scoffed at the first old man, the rest of the old men agreed with her words. "Huh? Wait for a second," When he listened to others, he felt something was different with Sarah and immediately observed her once again before raising his brows. "No wonder, you said those words. My bad, I am always a bad judge in evaluating people," the first old man nodded his head and changed his news on Sarah and agreed with the rest of the old cultivators. "Among all of us, Rae is good at evaluating people that is the reason he was managing the mercenary guild," To his words, the olddy named Sandra replied with a bitter look on her face. All of them nodded their heads because what she said was true. "Speaking of Rae, where is he? He called us for an emergency meeting and still didn''te here," Esmund, the first old man, who failed to evaluate Sarah on his first nce, asked others about Rae with an irritated tone. "Esmund, I still wonder, how did you survive till now with the anxiousness of yours," One of the old men asked with a puzzled expression on his face while looking at Esmund. ******* ''Hunter_parish'' thanks for gifting a sword. Chapter 537: Delgoth

537 Delgoth

Ajax was on the back of arge purple coloured dragon as he just entered the middle section of the cursed wilderness from the cursed abyss. From the location of the dimensional crevice in the cursed abyss, the shortest distance was to fly over the middle section of the cursed abyss. So, Ajax ordered the destructive twilight dragon to fly over it. ''Twilight, I think we got somepany,'' For some reason, Ajax felt that he was being followed by someone; however, when he turned back to look, that feeling vanished into thin air. Nevertheless, he was pretty much sure that someone was following him and slowly transmitted his voice to the dragon. ''Roar'' When he heard Ajax''s words, the dragon roared in response as though it had also sensed someone behind them. ''Swoosh'' "Twilight, fly downwards," All of a sudden, Ajax felt something wasing at him and hurriedly ordered the dragon to fly downwards because if he continued to fly in the sky, then he was an open target for someone who was following him for a while now. Even though his dragon was fast, he was unable to dodge something that was thrown at them. ''Boom'' Only when it came near, Ajax was able to see what it was; however, it was veryte to escape as an explosion happened when that thing touched the left wind of the dragon. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' With the st, the dragon lost its bnce and fastly descended towards the ground and with a loud ''Thud'' sound it fell onto the ground. ''Damn it,'' Soon, Ajax stood up from the ground and looked at the injured dragon beside him and cursed the one that sneaked on them. ''Thank god, you are not injured seriously,'' The first thing he did was to check on the dragon and only after that, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Go back into the inner world for now and heal your injuries. I will take revenge on your behalf," Ajax patted the huge head of the dragon and sent it into the inner world. ''Spirus, heal Twilight''s injuries,'' ''Volcanis, Bane and Cerauno,e out now,'' After sending twilight back into the inner world, he didn''t waste any time before giving orders to his elemental spirits. First, he ordered Spirus to heal the twilight''s injuries because she was capable of healing them. Next, he summoned three of his elemental spirits because they were the most powerful elemental spirits in his arsenal. "Greetings, summoning master," As soon as they were summoned out of the inner world, all three elemental spirits greeted Ajax. "Be ready. We are under attack," Ajax nodded his head at their greetings and asked them to be on their guard. "Yes, summoning master," When he saw their actions, Ajax bitterly shook his head and at the same time, he felt warm inside his heart. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt that his surroundings became silent and there was no noise of any kind of spirit beasts making Ajax raise his brows. ''p p'' Soon, Ajax and his elemental spirits heard pping soundsing from the direction a small bomb was thrown at them. That''s right! The thing that touched the left wind of Twilight and made them fall to the ground was none other than the small ck-coloured orb and Ajax figured it out as some kind of bomb. "Whoever you are,e out and show yourself," Ajax looked in the direction of the pping sounds and seriously shouted. "Don''t be angry, human. I am very much eager to show you my new form," In the direction, a demon slowly walked towards him with a small smile on his ferocious face while saying that to Ajax. The demon had a muscr build with 2 meters height. Two of his horns were pointing downwards. What was more striking out in him was the patches of ck colour on his body. "Huh? Do I know you?" After observing the demon for a moment, Ajax asked the demon because the demon''s earlier words indicated that they had met before. Moreover, Ajax also felt he had met him somewhere; however, he could not remember where he had seen him. So, he simply asked the demon. ''He is strong. Stronger than the main demon general I had fought before entering the dimensional crevice,'' At the same time, he was on his guard because he felt some bad premonition inside his heart as hepared the demon in front of him with the main demon general he had fought earlier. "You forgot me already?" The demon in front of him stopped in his tracks as scoffed at Ajax before saying, "Even if you forgot me, I can''t forget you after torturing me with those nightmares." "You..you are the main demon general from the earlier?" All of a sudden, Ajax remembered where he had heard that voice and became shocked because he thought he was already dead. Among all the demon generals he had killed only the main demon general suffered the most pain from the ''Absolute darkness'' skill. So, he was able to quickly catch onto his identity because of his hatred in the demon general''s voice. ''That''s right! I didn''t get any system notification informing me that I killed the main demon general,'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax realized that he didn''t receive any notification. The reason he forgot about was that he was in a hurry to escape from the demon king Garreth. "That''s right! I am him; however, at the same time, I am not him," The demon in front of Ajax nodded his head as he replied with aplicated sentence. "I think, I tortured you very badly that you have gone mad," Ajax mocked the demon in front of him without any fear. Ajax felt that since he had already won the fight with the main demon general earlier, he thought he could win once again. "You can think, whatever you want to...Haha," To Ajax''s surprise, the transformed main demon general startedughing like a maniac and continued, "The previous me is dead and this is my new life that is granted by my master, the demon king Garreth." After using the scroll from the demon king Gareth, the main demon general became even more loyal than before and in his eyes, the demon king Garreth was the only one worthy enough to get his services. "What a pity, I should have killed you without torturing much earlier; however, don''t worry, I will kill you now and relieve you from the pain," Ajax continued to mock the demon general. "Stop mocking me, human," All of a sudden, the demon in front of Ajax became angry for keep on bringing the torture subject over and over again and shouted at Ajax to stop mocking him. "I, Delgoth, the name bestowed upon by the demon king Garreth swears on the demon god that I will kill this human brat at any cost," the demon swore while looking at Ajax before rushing towards him. Chapter 538: Burning the soul

538 Burning the soul

"Take care of him and don''t hesitate to go all out," Ajax was confident in his three elemental spirits in killing a level 10 demon general with theirbined efforts. So, he casually ordered them to go all out against the rushing demon general. Even though the three elemental spirits still haven''t reached the elemental spirit general realm, Ajax was sure that if his three elemental spirits acted as a team, they could kill him. ''Swosh'' As for the iing demon general, he was only concentrated on Ajax and didn''t even bother with the elemental spirits. ''Huh? Why does he seem like he is possessed by something?'' Since he was confident in his elemental spirits, Ajax didn''t bother to dodge the iing demon general and silently thought in his head while observing the demon general. The rushing demon general''s eyes were pitch ck and it seemed like he could only see Ajax in his line of sight. So, Ajax thought he was possessed. ''Volcanis, use inferno along with the fire asteroids,'' ''Cerauno, Create as many weapons as possible and enchant them,'' ''Bane, you y with your five elemental poison pearl; however, be careful, it can''t recognise friend or foe,'' Nevertheless, Ajax ordered his elemental spirits to finish the iing demon general as soon as possible as he felt a bad premonition on his heart for a while now. As soon as Ajax gave his orders, Bane was the first one to throw his five elemental poison pearl at the demon general, which entered into his body within a few moments and slowed his speed. Volcanis used his inferno skill to increase his battle prowess by a factor of 2 times before using the fire asteroids because then the power of the fire asteroid would be doubled and adding to one level up for all his skills by his ''King of fire'', the asteroids became even more powerful. Cerauno, the weapon specialist created hundreds of weapons from his lightning essence of nature and enchanted them before releasing them at the slowed-down demon general. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Thud'' Soon, the slowed-down demon general received many fire asteroids from the sky and many enchanted weapons from Cerauno that sted off the demon general into a huge tree. "Since I failed to kill youst time, I will make sure to kill this time," Ajax slowly walked towards Delgoth as he talked to the demon general. "Huh?" Unexpectedly the demon general revealed a confused look on his face and hurriedly checked his surroundings before seeing Ajax. "I am going to kill you now," As soon as he looked at Ajax, his eyes turned back into pitch ck that immediately stood up from the ground and rushed to kill Ajax with his long hands. All his elemental spirits were some distance away from Ajax and the demon general and unable to stop the demon general before he closed in the distance between him and Ajax. ''Who will save you, now?'' When the demon general was only a couple of meters away from Ajax, he revealed a cruel look on his ferocious face as he muttered in a voice that was barely audible to Ajax. "If you think, I need my elemental spirits to protect me from you, then you''re wrong. I am just tired of fighting for the past couple of days. Nevermind, I will kill you on my own," Ajax scoffed at the demon general''s words before revealing a small smile on his face and muttered, "Abysall beast god bloodline, activate." ''Bloodlust speare out,'' ''Heaven destroyer form activate,'' Within less than a second, Ajax activated his bloodline before summoning the bloodlust spear from his spirit consciousness. Moreover, he didn''t want to waste any time in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. So, he activated the Heaven destroyer form of the bloodlust spear. ''Level 2 spear dao,'' ''Kacha'' Before the demon general could react to Ajax''s fast usage of all his tricks, the heaven destroyer spear pierced into the chest of the demon general. ''Aargh'' The demon general groaned in pain and forcefully separated himself from the spear and jumped backwards. "Huh? What is happening to me? Why am I injured?" Once again the demon general''s eyes turned back to light red colour (Which is the standard colour of his eyes) and looked at his surroundings. ''Aargh'' He clutched the hole in his chest and continued groaning in pain. "Huh? Is he gone mad from my earlier torture by using ''Absolute darkness'' on him?" Looking at the demon general''s actions and listening to his words, Ajax thought something was not right and carefully observed him. ''What the ...'' While he was observing the injured demon general in front of him, Ajax noticed that the hole in the demon general''s chest was healing at an incredible speed which made Ajax raise his brows. "That''s right! It must be the scroll from the demon king. It is controlling me and making me kill this human brat at any cost," Finally, the demon general realized that he had been used by his demon king Garreth and he came to that realization veryte. Slowly, his eyes once again started turning back into pitch-ck colour as he consciousness started disappearing as he was taken over by the will of the demon king Garreth. Without him realizing, the demon general named Delgoth''s spirit had died inside his body. ''Kill kill kill'' Soon, his eyespletely turned pitch ck as his eyesnded on Ajax and there was only a single word that was continuously repeated in his head. "Oh no. This is bad," Not only the hole in the demon general''s chest was healing but his aura also started increasing. ''So, this is the bad premonition my heart keep on feeling from the beginning,'' Ajax finally understood the reason for his bad premonition and hurried distanced himself from the demon general. ''Ding, The demon general in front of the host is burning his soul and blood essence by some mysterious technique to increase his cultivation. The system suggests the host be extremely careful with him. All of a sudden, Ajax received a system notification that made him understand theplete situation of what was happening in front of him. Until now, he thought that the main demon general had gone mad because of his extreme torture by the ''Absolute darkness'' skill; however, after seeing the system notification and along with the previous words of the main demon general, he understood he didn''t go mad. But, he was manipted by the demon king he had escaped in the dimensional crevice earlier. "I have already tortured you enough. So, I will try my best to stop your body and let it rest," Even though he knew that the demon general could not hear him, he said to the demon general in front of him. ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, the demon general broke through the general realm and entered the elite general realm; however, the increase in the cultivation didn''t stop and continued to increase. "Now, this is very bad," All of a sudden, Ajax had second thoughts about his situation and muttered to himself. Chapter 539: Demon king?

539 Demon king?

As Ajax was in a tough situation with the demon general in the middle-section of the cursed wilderness, the five powerful old cultivators were sitting in the guild master''s room and waiting for the guild master to arrive. "Esmund, I still wonder, how did you survive till now with the anxiousness of yours," Amidst their discussions, one of the old men asked the first old man with a puzzled expression on his face. The rest of the powerful cultivators nodded their heads as though they were also wondering how the first old man had survived with such an anxiousness. "That''s a secret and I don''t want to share it," Unexpected to their thoughts, Esmund revealed a small smile on his face as he replied to others. After hearing that, they didn''t ask any more questions because they knew that despite the fact that the old man was smiling, he was actually very serious. All of a sudden, the guild master''s room became silent. "Huh? Why are you so silent even after meeting each other for a few years now," Amidst their silence, the door to the guild master''s room was opened and a familiar voice could be heard by them. "Finally, you came now, Rae. If you didn''t show in a few minutes, I would?have just left from here," The only olddy in the room stood up and scolded the owner of the voice. "You have bezy and camete for the meeting conducting by you," Esmund, the anxious one among all the powerful cultivators, joined the olddy and scolded the one named Rae. "How can the mercenary guild master be not punctual?" "Where is that guild master, who said he will always be punctual?" Soon, the rest of the old men followed Esmund and the olddy as they scoffed at the owner of the voice. That''s right! The owner of the voice was none other than the famous guild master of the mercenary guild and these powerful old cultivators of around the same age as the guild master called him by the name ''Rae''. "Sorry, fellow cultivators. I had to wait for Rulf and others along the way. So, I camete," The legendary mercenary king apologized to them foringte to the meeting because he was the one that called them toe as soon as possible. So, he apologized to them without any hesitation. While flying on the back of the red-eyed bat, the guild master sent papers to these five powerful old cultivar friends of his and asked them to meet him in the mercenary guild as soon as possible. However, since he wanted Rulf to join the meeting with his old friends, he waited at the exit of the cursed wilderness which made himete to his own meeting. "Woah. Our little Rae''s way of calling us has changed. Fellow cultivators? Haha," Esmundughed at the guild master''s words without any restraint. "Haha" ''Pfft'' When Edmond and others heard their words, they tried their best to control theirughter. "Stop it, idiots. We are not young anymore and can''t you act ording to your age in front of them," Rae, the guild master pointed at Edmond and others and scolded the five old cultivators who wereughing at him. "Also, I wanted to discuss something important with you. That is the?reason I called you toe here as soon as possible," Without giving them any chance to reply, the guild master continued talking with a very serious expression on his face. "Okay okay" When they saw a serious expression on the guild master''s face, they stopped joking with him and sat in their seats while waiting for the old guild master and others to join them. "Everyone, don''t be too polite and sitfortably," After the guild master sat in his chair, he noticed that except for Darbaudr, Edmond and others were still standing and hesitated to sit. Because, except for the guild master, they were not familiar with anyone. Moreover, they didn''t know how they would react if they sat one like they were equals. So, the old guild master asked them to sit before saying, "They will not be angry and of course don''t think you are rude for sitting along with them." Only after hearing those words from the guild master, Edmond and others sat on the empty chairs and looked at Darbaudr with a strange look on their faces. It was said that the more powerful a cultivator was, the more arrogant he would be and they would also be angry even for small things. So, Edmond and others waited for the guild master''s permission before sitting on the chairs. ''What? Why are you looking at me with a strange face?'' When he saw those looks on Edmond and other''s faces, he immediately asked him through voice transmission. ''Nothing'' Edmond shook his head as though there was nothing; however, Darbaudr could guess that it must be regarding his earlier action of directly sitting without asking for permission. ''At my peak condition, I am more powerful than them. So, of course, I didn''t ask them for permission,'' Darbaudr silently thought in his head as he looked at the guild master and waited for him to start the meeting. There was nothing wrong in Darbaudr'' thinking; however, it was wrong for Edmond and others as it might bring ire from these old powerful cultivators. ...¡­. In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, "Now, this is very bad," When he saw the rate at which the injury on the demon general''s chest was healing along with his cultivation being breaking thought to the elite general realm, made Ajax serious. ''Damn it. I am nowhere near to the dimensional crevice; otherwise, I would have simply jumped into the dimensional crevice and waited for this demon general to die from burning his soul.'' Ajax''s previous confidence disappeared when he had seen the scene in front of him and thought of escaping. If he was nearer to the dimensional crevice, he could have easily escaped; however, it was impossible to escape now because the demon in front of him had broken through to the elite demon general realm. "Human brat, do you think, you can live after messing around with my ns?" All of a sudden, the elite demon general''s rapid increase in his cultivation had stopped and at the same time, he talked with Ajax. "Huh?" When he heard those words, he raised his brows as he was sure that was not the main demon general; instead, he thought he was the demon king Gsrreth himself. "The reason why I have waited until youe to the middle-section of the cursed wilderness is not to let you back into the dimensional crevice once again," The elite demon general slowly walked towards Ajax while saying why he had waited until now and casually waved his hand at Ajax''s three elemental spirits. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he waved his hands, three small ck orbs were thrown at them. ''Before I kill you, I will kill your elemental spirits...Haha,'' the elite demon generalughed with an evil expression on his face. Chapter 540: Summons vs Demons

540 Summons vs Demons

Ajax was already familiar with the three small ck orbs and knew how powerful they were. Previously when he was flying on Twilight''s back, that same ck orb touched the left-wing of the dragon and sted. ''Even though the injury is only on the left-wing, Twilight seemed to be affected by something that made it unconscious. So, I don''t want to take any risk,'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax immediately summoned his three elemental spirits back into the inner world. "Volcanis, Bane and Cerauno,e back," Just when the small ck coloured orbs were about tond on the three elemental spirits, they turned into red, grey and white colours and entered into Ajax with an incredible speed. ''Boom boom boom'' The ce where the three elemental spirits were previously standing was entirely covered with ck smoke with the explosions from three small ck orbs. ''Phew'' When he saw that the three small ck orbs were more powerful than the one thatnded on Twilight, he heaved a sigh of relief for summoning back his elemental spirits into his inner world. "Haha," All of a sudden, the level 3 elite demon general startedughing when he saw Ajax heave a sigh of relief after summoning back his elemental spirits. "You might be able to summon them back into your spirit consciousness; however, don''t forget you are still here, in front of me and you have no way to escape," Afterughing for a moment, the elite demon general named Delgoth smirked while looking at the anxiousness in Ajax''s face. ''That''s right! I can feel some kind of barrier is covering the surroundings. I have nowhere to escape now,'' Ajax looked at the thin barrier in the distance and silently thought in his head. The elite demon general''s body which was hosting the demon king''s consciousness was very careful and he didn''t want Ajax to escape once again. So, he locked down the surroundings to prevent Ajax from escaping. ''The only thing I can do right now is to fight to the death,'' There was nothing much to think for him as he already knew what awaits him and instead of dying without a fight, he wanted to use his full power to resist and bring him down along with him. Even if he killed the elite demon general in front of him, the demon king would not entirely die; however, if his consciousness which was inside the elite demon general''s body in front of him was damaged, then the demon king would need several years to recover that small consciousness. So, Ajax decided to damage the demon king''s consciousness as much as possible. "Since I will die anyway, I will go all out with you," Any being, when they decide to go to the extreme means to bring someone down, they don''t think much and use all possible avable ways at their hands to seed their goal. He was like a cornered beast that would resist its utmost against his enemy. One could never know what a beast or human that was cornered would do; however, one thing was sure that it was certainly not a good thing for their enemy. "Everyone,e out," With that thought in his mind, he summoned all the avable elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts from his inner world. Soon, Ajax waspleted surrounded by his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. At the moment, Ajax didn''t like to hide his summons inside the inner world because if he dies then all of his summons would die along with Snow, Raweth and Sparrow in the five elemental world. Instead of dying without fighting and staying inside the inner world, he wanted his summons to try to fight for their life. Even if they died in the process they would be at least satisfied with a feeling that they tried something. "Are you ready for a life and death fight?" As soon as he summoned his summons from the inner world, he asked them in a loud voice. "Yes, summoning master," All the summoned elemental spirits replied to Ajax in a serious tone. ''Roar'' Simrly, all the spirit beasts also replied with their roars as though they were excited about the fight. All of his summons could understand the seriousness of their current situation and were very alert because if they didn''t kill the elite demon general in front of him, then he would kill them. When he saw how his summons were ready for their battle he felt bad of them because the chances of getting out alive from here were very slim. "What the¡­! What are you? How can you summon various types of elemental spirits?" While Ajax was preparing to go all out against the elite demon general, who was controlled by the demon king''s consciousness, he was shocked by Ajax''s elemental spirits. It wasmon sense that those who could summon two types of elemental spirits were considered rare in the Zrochester province and what''s more even in the high-level province, it was very rare to find a summoner with three different elemental spirits. So, when the consciousness inside the elite demon general saw various elemental spirits in front of Ajax, his heart anxiously started beating. "What am I? I am the one that is going to destroy your consciousness inside this elite demon general," "Everyone, go all out and kill him," Ajax already knew that the demon king would be shocked by his summons and ordered his summons to attack the elite demon general. As soon as they received Ajax''s orders, all elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts rushed at the elite demon general. Since he had already activated his ''Absyall beast god bloodline'' a few moments ago, he wanted to utilize it, before the bloodline is deactivated. ''With 3X and 2X battle prowess increase from the ''Abyssal beast god''s bloodline'', I hope my chances of surviving increases,'' Looking at his summons, Ajax wanted nothing more than to survive his current situation along with his summons. From the bloodline, the elemental spirits received a two times boost whereas contracted spirit beasts would receive a three times boost in their battle prowess. Among his summons, two elemental spirits, Necros and it along with one contracted spirit beast was missed because Necros and Twilight were injured whereas it was taking care of Levi, back at the Hazegroove mercenary squad building. "Haha...you are not the only one to have an army, I too have prepared some for cases like these," Soon, the elite demon general calmed down his shock and startedughing before muttering something inaudible to Ajax. Before Ajax''s summons could reach the elite demon general, thirty peak demon generals had appeared in front of him and blocked the attacks of Ajax''s elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. "What the hell!" When Ajax saw the 30 peak level demon generals appear out of nowhere, he cursed his luck and ordered his summons, "Kill them all. We can get through our current situation if we don''t lose hope," Ajax tried his best to encourage his summons as he looked at the elite demon general. Chapter 541: Introductions

541 Introductions

"Rulf, you remember them, right?" The guild master looked at Rulf as he asked him whether he remembered the old cultivators or not? "Of course, I remember them. How can I forget them?" Rulf became a little bit nervous when he replied to the guild master. As for the reason why he was nervous, except for the guild master and the powerful cultivators, Edmond and others don''t know as they watched Rulf with a funny expression on their faces. Because it was their first time seeing Rulf be nervous in front of them. "Okay then," the guild master nodded his head and with a small smile on his face, he continued, "Before we start the meeting, Rulf will introduce the fellow cultivators of mine to you. Can you do it, Rulf?" After finishing his words, the guild master looked at Rulf and waited for a reply from him. ''What?'' However, Rulf was shocked when he heard those words and became silent for a moment before nodding his head, ''I am not a low-level cultivator anymore.I can do this.'' He motivated himself before standing up from his chair and looked at the five old cultivators. ''Haha'' When they saw Rulf''s actions, all the five cultivators startedughing to themselves; however, it was easily noticed by Edmond and others without much difficulty. "Ahem.." Rulf cleared his throat and started introducing the old cultivators one by one. He started with the anxious old man who looked very anxious as though he had some important thing to do soon. "He is Master Esmund, the famous cksmith a couple of decades ago. He is very famous in the field of cksmithy that people used to call him Forger of metals," Rulf looked at Edmond and others after giving a brief introduction about the anxious old man. ''Gasps'' When they heard Rulf''s words, Edmond and others gasped their breaths. Who doesn''t know about the ''Forger of metals''? Everyone in the Zrocehster province knew about him because there was a rumour that this master cksmith had forged a legendary grade weapon with the resources that were avable in this low-level Zorchestor province. "Next, Madam Sandra," Looking at the only olddy among the five old cultivators, Rulf continued, "She is the head of an Ancient hidden family that disappeared from the Zrochester province a little more than 20 years and as for their current location, only Madam Sandra, also known as the Veiled Matriarch." The olddy was wearing a white coloured thin veil that gave others a mysterious vibe much suited to her title. ''Veiled Matriarch?'' Edmond and others once again became shocked as they knew who powerful that ancient hidden family was. "I think, there is no need to exin about the ''Soul handler'' Elek, ''The Eternal Nurturer'' Ramon andst but not least ''The Revered Protector'' Seward," Soon, Rulf pointed at each old cultivator and said their titles along with their names in a single breath. Elek, ''The Soul Handler, who had many soul type skills and techniques that were impossible to learn formon cultivators and that required some special body constitution to learn many of those skills and techniques. Ramon, also known as ''The Eternal Nurturer''. He could nurture any type of nt and spirit beast and he was capable of removing the restrictions on those nts and spirit beasts which would help those nts and spirit beasts to reach higher cultivation ranks. And thest old man had the title ''The Revered Protector''. Even though he had the name ''Seward'', many people only use his title. As long as he promises someone that he protects something, he would protect it at any cost. He was a little bit more famous than the rest of the other old cultivators as he helped many people from the top powers of the Zrochester province which made him a respected figure in the Zrochestor province. ''Phew...finally, I did it,'' As soon as he finished introducing the old cultivators to Edmond and others, he heaved a sigh of relief before sitting in his chair. "You did good, Rulf," The guild master nodded his head at Rulf before looking at his fellow old cultivators. "Not bad kiddo, you have finally gained the courage to speak in front of us," "Yeah. I still remember how you used to run away from us whenever we meet," "Soon break through the elite general realm border and enter the demi-king realm and join us," After the guild master finished his words, the five old cultivators praised, joked and encouraged Rulf to cultivate harder. "What happened to you, guys?" All of a sudden, the guild master noticed that Edmond, Udo and Blood rose had be silent and shock was apparent on their faces. "Nothing, guild master. It is just that we were shocked to meet these legendary cultivators from the past and don''t know what to say," Edmond didn''t expect that the five famous cultivators of the past were the friends of the old guild master and at the same time, he thought that the meeting was not a normal one. So, he soon suppressed his shock and looked at the guild master. Not only Edmond but Udo and the blood rose all followed suit and suppressed their shock and paid attention to the guild master. "Hm," The guild master nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face and looking at his old friends, he asked, "What do you think of them?" Of course, he was asking about Edmond, Udo and the blood rose. "Good...to be honest, they are very good," "They were stronger than us when we were their age," "Right! I still remember you are only at level 1 elite general realm when you?were their age," Soon, they started praising Edmond and others because they were more powerful than their past versions. "Thanks for the praise but we still have much to learn about cultivating," Edmond tried to be honest with them because they were not some random mercenary or a cultivator, they were equals with the guild master. So, the praisesing from them made Edmond and others confident in their cultivation journey; however, they didn''t be proud or arrogant and tried to remain modest. "They are Edmond, Udo and blood rose. They are the top mercenaries of our mercenary guild," After Edmond and others know about the old cultivators, the guild master introduced Edmond and others to the old cultivators. "Good" The five powerful old cultivators nodded their heads at Edmond and others with a small smile on their faces, which made Edmond and others think that these powerful figures were very polite. "Now, since the introductions are over. Let''s start our meeting and for what reason why I have summoned everyone here," The guild master officially started the meeting with a suddenly serious expression on his face. Chapter 542: Nothing?

542 Nothing?

"Recently we had a small demon invasion which started from the middle section of the cursed wilderness," Soon, the guild master started with the demon which made the five old cultivators raise their brows; however, they didn''te to any conclusion before the guild master finished his words and continued to listen to his words. "Even though we managed to resolve that crisis, someone wanted our mercenary guild to be destroyed along with our mercenaries. So, the reason I immediately summoned here because of that," The Guild master maintained a serious expression on his face throughout his exnation. "What?" "Who is that? Royal family?" "What did they do?" "I think those so-called powerful sects, right?" Soon the five powerful cultivators became enraged when they heard the guild master''s words and asked their questions. "Calm down a little. It is not a direct confrontation but the top powers of this Zorchester province didn''t send the reinforcements to fight the demons in the cursed wilderness even when I requested them and if the demon army sent thatst batch of the demon army, we don''t how many of us could have made it out alive from there," The guild master asked the five old cultivators to calm down before briefly exining about their situation in the cursed wilderness. "The royal family is always the shameless onepared to the other sects and the five great families," Esmund mocked the royal family for their shamelessness. "Of course, they are shameless. That is the reason, they are able to sessfully rule the Zrochester province," Elek supported Edmund''s words and mocked the royal family along with him. "Okay. Stop mocking the royal family," The Veiled matriarch, Sandra, stopped Esmund and Elek and looked at the guild master before saying, "So, what are you suggesting? Fight a war against the royal family?" After finishing her words, she looked at the guild master and waited for his answer. "Cool. Finally, Rae wants to start a war against the royal," "I didn''t expect this from you Rae; however, I like that idea and I am in for it," Before the guild master could give a reply to the olddy Sandra, Ramon and Seward spoke their thoughts about the idea of going against the royal family. Among all the five old cultivators, Seward and Ramon had a great feud with the royal family because they didn''t like the actions of the royal family and continuously opposed them which resulted in many small fights. Later, these small fights turned into arge fight when the royal family ced a bounty on their heads. However, the guild master shook his head as he disagreed with going against the royal and before anyone could interrupt him, he continued, "Moreover, you know me too well, right? Am I the person who prefers to fight a war when there is a much simpler way to resolve this situation?" When he said theter words, his serious expression had turned into a smile. "Then I became excited about nothing, I guess," "Me too," Hearing the guild master''s words and thinking about his personality, Seward and Ramon''s faces became bitter as they shook their heads. "Then why did you summon us if you don''t want to fight a war against the royal family? And what do you want us to do?" The olddy Sandra shook her head at their bitter faces and turned her head to the guild master before asking him. "Nothing," All of a sudden, the guild master revealed a mysterious smile and replied to the olddy sand in a single word. "Nothing?" Everyone in the room, including Edmond and others were confused with the old guild master''s words as they didn''t understand the actual meaning behind his answer. "Before that let me ask you one thing," When he saw the confused faces of everyone in his room, the guild master became satisfied as he continued, "Did youe here by the way I mention on the paper crane, right?" This question was directed at the five old cultivators. "Yes, just like you mentioned which is against our own mercenary guild''s rules set by us," The olddy Sandra nodded her head as she replied to the guild master. "I always wanted to do that. Since you said we can break the rules this time, I eagerly flew here without wasting any time," Simrly, Esmund also gave a reply to the guild master''s question and he said he was very excited to break the rules of the mercenary guild. Actually, the establishment of the mercenary guild was thebined effort of the guild master along with these five old and powerful cultivators; however, since the guild master had the good skills in managing a mercenary guild, he became the guild master. However, no one in the Zrochester province knows that they were still alive after their sudden disappearance twenty years ago. "Then there is nothing we have to do now," After hearing their answers to his question, the guild master stood up from his chair and walked to the window before looking through it. "All we have to do now is to wait for the next move of the top powers," Looking at the mercenaries outside, the guild master slowly said to others. "Oh. So you want to let the top powers know that we are still alive and supporting the mercenary guild...good move," Soon enough, the olddy Sandra understood the guild master Rae''s n and nodded her head in agreement. "My guess is they wille here by tomorrow. So, let''s wait and see," The guild master nodded his head and returned back to his seat. Edmond and others were just like sheep that were attentively listening to their words and after all the new information they learned today, their respect towards the guild master increased to another level and they could guess what the guild master was nning; however, they didn''t speak out loud. Among all the people in the guild masters room, Darbaudr was the only one that was bored to death as he didn''t have any interest in their issues. "There is also another thing I?wanted to ask you," After discussing some more things, the guild master slowly brought another topic. "Huh? What is it?" The five powerful cultivators asked the guild master as they knew that the guild master wouldn''t summon for a single issue and even if he said there were another couple of reasons for summoning them, they would not be surprised much. "There are some young cultivators under Edmond, I want you to conduct your own tests and pick some of them as your students to train them to pass your inheritance before leaving this Zorchester province after a few years," The guild master looked at them and requested his friends to train some of the young cultivators under Edmond. Chapter 543: Damilus regre

543 Damilus'' regre

Ajax carefully observed the elite demon general that was controlled by the demon king as though he was waiting for him to attack first. "Your summons are good and if you are given some time, then you will be the human world''s biggest asset and the demon world''s biggest threat. So, I found another reason to kill you," However, the elite demon general didn''t move from his ce and looked at Ajax before saying those words. While saying that, he was watching his small demon army fight Ajax''s summons. "Since you don''t want to attack first. I will start attacking first," Ajax didn''t let the elite demon general''s words to his words because the high-level demons have some mysterious techniques that could hypnotize others. ''Huh? He is careful,'' When he saw Ajax didn''t listen to his words and rushed at him with a white spear in his hands, the elite demon general''s eyes shed with a dark light in them. Since Ajax had many mysterious techniques and could summon various elemental spirits along with many spirit beasts, the elite demon general thought to hypnotize him and wanted to recruit him. However, it failed even before he could start the process, so he shook his head and waited for Ajax toe near to him. "Heaven''s destroyer spear," The bloodlust spear was still in heaven''s destroyer spear form. So, after gaining some momentum with his running, he threw the spear at the elite demon general. "Swoosh" The elite demon general didn''t even bother to dodge the iing spear and just when it was about to touch him, a small hole appeared in his abdomen through which the heaven destroyer spear went through. For the entire time, the elite demon general was very calm and didn''t take Ajax seriously at all. ''Let''s y for some time. I want to know more of your tricks,'' The demon king''s consciousness wanted to find out more about Ajax''s secret techniques and tricks. So, he didn''t use his full strength; instead maintained a strength that was little more than Ajax''s strength. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, he rushed towards Ajax and within a second, he appeared in front of Ajax and lightly punched Ajax. ''Aargh'' ''Thud'' Even though the punch looked slow and not powerful, it was quite opposite. It was very fast that Ajax didn''t even have time to dodge the punch and as for its power, it sted Ajax into a nearby tree which made him groan in pain. "Stand up. I will only use one hand. So, if you can kill me, then kill me; otherwise, I will kill you," The elite demon general wanted Ajax to have some hope. Only when had hope, he would do his best in fighting against him which would, in turn, reveal all of his secret tricks and techniques. Despite knowing the fact that the elite demon general was intentionally giving him some hope, Ajax wanted to use it for his own convenience and took out hs inheritance sword from his spirit consciousness. ''Huh? A sword?'' The elite demon general revealed a smile as he said, "Okay then. I will also use my sword with my left hand which is not proficient in swords." After finishing his words, the elite demon general took out a ck coloured sword from his space ring. ''ng'' ''k'' Soon, the elite demon general and Ajax started fighting with the swords. It was not very fast nor it was very slow. While Ajax was having a sword fight with the elite demon general, his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts fought the demon generals summoned by the demon king''s consciousness. ''Am I destined to die here?'' Among all his summons, there was one spirit beast that was regretting the decision of forming a contract with Ajax. It was none other than Ajax''s most recent spirit beast the sea tauren. ''I only wanted to freely roam the world after forming the contract and not to fight again,'' The only reason he formed a spirit contract with Ajax was to venture the world rather than sitting in the dimensional crevice; however, before he could even roam a few ces, he was summoned from the inner world to fight a fight that was impossible to win. "ng" Just as he was regretting his decision of forming a contract with Ajax, one of the demon generals attacked him which made the sea tauren angry. "I am already angry about this fight and you dare to sneak attack me," Even the attack from the demon general didn''t do any damage to the sea tauren, he was sessfully angry. "Since you want a fight, I will give you one," As soon as he became angry he looked at the anxious demon general and said in a serious tone that made him shiver. Moreover, the sea tauren''s body started growing a few centimeters and his cultivation started rising. Within a few second, the sea tauren sessfully broke through into the rank 5 and rushed at the demon general that sneaked upon him. As for the other spirit beasts, they fought just like how a wild beast would fight and it was very clumsy. Volcanis, in his inferno mode, was fighting a peak level demon kind and he was in an advantageous position. If he could drag on a little longer, he would easily win the fight against the demon general. Simrly, Bane and Cerauno were also fighting the peak level demon generals and they were in a little bit of advantageous position; however, it was only a small and which might change any moment. As for the others, they fought the demon general in whom they were confident enough to win. Overall, Ajax''s summons were winning the fight against the demon generals which made Ajax, who was observing his summons from time to time, increase his hope. "Now, shall we increase the difficulty a little more," All of a sudden, the elite demon general distanced himself and revealed a cunning smile on his face before snapping his fingers. ''Snap'' As soon as he snapped, all the demon generals who were in a disadvantageous position against Ajax''s summons started radiating a ck light from their body. ''Huh? What is happening?'' Ajax was totally confused and before he could understand what was happening around him, the ck light emitted by the demon general became very bright. "Everyone, move away from those demon generals now," After thinking for a moment, Ajax finally understood something and immediately ordered his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to move away from the demon general. "Before you give suggestions to your summons, you have to take care of yourself," The elite demon general didn''t give any time and he appeared in front of Ajax all of sudden before saying, "ytime is over now. Time to kill you and your elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts." After finishing his words, he shed his ck sword at Ajax in order to kill him in a single strike. ******** Gifters:- Caleb_Bradley_1564 thanks for gifting a sword.

544 Past acquaintance

****** There was a sudden change in the elite demon general''s behaviour as though there was something urgent he needed to do. So, he wanted to kill Ajax as soon as possible. ''Damn it, I don''t have time to dodge it,'' Ajax was in a position that he didn''t have enough time to dodge it. ''Swoosh'' Just when he thought he was going to die by the ck sword, Ajax saw a green coloured arrowing from the distance and touched the ck sword at an incredible speed. ''Kacha'' Just as the green coloured arrow touched it, the ck sword stopped in the mid-air and what came after that was the crack. Within a few seconds, the ck swordpletely disintegrated into powder which made the demon king''s consciousness inside the elite demon general feel a bad premonition. "Who are you? Why are you meddling in my matters?" The elite demon general threw Ajax aside and looked in the direction in which the green-coloured arrow hade from and asked. ''Huh? Who is that?'' Ajax rubbed the back of his head as he also looked in the direction from which the earlier arrow hade and silently thought in his head. However, Ajax saw no one in that direction that made him raise his brows. ''Swoosh'' "How are you, little brother?" Just as he was wondering who saved him from the earlier attack, Ajax heard a familiar yet unrecognizable voice from behind him which gave him goosebumps. Suppressing his shock, he hurriedly turned back to see a youngdy in her twenties, who was covering her face with a veil. Even though her face was covered by a veil, it was unable to hide her beauty. "You are¡­," Ajax felt that he had seen her somewhere but he was unable to remember where he had seen her. "Little brother, you have forgotten me already? It was only around a month or so and you can''t remember me?" When she saw the confused look on Ajax''s face, she became sad as he mentioned when they had met. "Month ago?" Ajax tried to remember it; however, he had gone through many things in thest months and ventured the five elemental world two times and many more. So, he was unable to remember her. "Huh?" All of a sudden, the youngdy was surprised when she saw a green coloured pendant which was hanging around Ajax''s neck. "Since you are wearing the pendant I gave you, I will not be angry with you anymore," While saying that she revealed a smile which waspletely covered by the veil. "Huh?" All of a sudden, Ajax remembered the youngdy in front of him and revealed a smile before saying, "Thanks for saving me, big sister." The youngdy was none other than Keshe, whom Ajax had met in the auction za of the mercenary guild''s market square. However, Ajax was fully busy and didn''t have time to visit her. Moreover, he had thanked her for saving him from the elite demon general because he knew that she was very powerful. ''Since she?is the?daughter of a rank 7 spirit beast king, she must be very powerful, right?'' This was the only thought in his head because when he checked the information on the pendant given by her, it said that it was enchanted by the rank 7 spirit beast king andter given to his offspring. Moreover, since she was able to transform into a human while staying in the Zrochester province, he knew that she was very powerful. ''System, show her cultivation strength,'' As Ajax was curious about Keshe''s strength, he asked the system to give the information on Keshe. ''Ding, Spirit beast Name:- Keshe (Transformed) Spirit beast form name:- Forest fairy Cultivation:- Peak rank 5 (Peak level 10 general realm) As soon as he asked the system about Keshe, it sent brief information on her which made Ajax shocked. ''Forest fairy?'' ording to what Ajax had known, forest fairies were extinct after being continuously hunted by humans andter captured by them. A forest fairy was a type of spirit beast that was born from butterfly-type spirit beasts. Although the chances of hatching a forest fairy were less, it was not impossible. For every hundred eggs, there would be one forest fairy that would be hatched because they were enchanted by the forest they were hatched. That was the reason they were called forest fairies. ''Her cultivation is only peak rank 5 which is less than the elite demon general. This is bad,'' When Ajax was focused on the cultivation of the forest fairy, he was shocked because she was clearly much weaker than the elite demon general. "Big sister, did you bring the old man with you?" Since there was no way he and Kesha could escape from the elite demon general, he asked about an old man who followed her when they met in the auction za. "Haha...little brother. You are worried about me?" When she saw the concerned look on Ajax''s face, Keshe revealed a small smile before saying, "Don''t worry, I can kill him in less than 5 moves." She confidently replied to Ajax as she took out a huge green coloured bow which had golden markings on it. "p p" "Are you talking about me?" While they were talking about the elite demon general, he heard the elite demon general p his hands and asked them while pointing his thumb finger towards him. Even though his ck sword turned into dust by Keshe''s attack, the elite demon general didn''t show any fear when he saw her cultivation level. Moreover, the consciousness of the demon king inside the elite demon general thought that he couldpletely burn the soul and blood essence of the main demon general to increase his strength for some more time. "Of course, I am talking about you," Keshe moved from Ajax''s back and stood in front of him before nodding her head in reply to the elite demon general''s question. As for Ajax, he was still in shock with the green-coloured bow in Keshe''s hand. "What a joke. Little girl, you need to wake from your dreams before you even attack me...Hehe," the demon king''s consciousness mocked Keshe and asked her to stop dreaming. "Ajax, move to aside. I think I am wrong about killing him in 5 moves," All of a sudden, Keshe became serious and asked Ajax to move aside. "Big sister, don''t force yourself to kill him in less number of moves. As long as you injure him even a little, I will take of him," While saying that Ajax looked at his summons who were in a disadvantageous position and said to Keshe, "I will go and help my summons." After finishing his words, Ajax stretched his body before he could help his summons. "Who said I need to force myself to kill this demon general. I can kill him in a single move without any difficulty," Keshe calmly replied to Ajax. "What?" Ajax was shocked by her words and seriously looked at her. Chapter 545: Demonic Lion King

545 Demonic Lion King

Moreover, he was surprised at the confidence in her words and looked at his summons. ''If she kills the elite demon general in a single move, then his army will also die along with him, right?'' Since the power that the demon generals his summons were fighting were increased with the help of some mysterious technique by the elite demon general, he thought that killing the elite demon general would kill his demon army too. ''Even if they are not killed, they will be weakened greatly without the boost from the elite demon general. I hope she kills him in a single move,'' Ajax didn''t move from his ce to help his summons and looked at Keshe while hoping that she would seed in killing the elite demon general. Even though his summons were at a disadvantageous position with the demon general, Ajax had confidence that they could stall some more time without any problem. "Hahaha" When the elite demon general heard Keshe''s words, he uncontroblyughed while saying, "This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life." Although the elite demon general had his guard up against Keshe, he still thought that it was impossible for her to kill him. What''s more, she said she would kill him in a single move. So, he didn''t take her seriously and uncontroblyughed. However, Keshe didn''t even bother to give a reply to the elite demon general before closing her eyes for a moment and started muttering some words in a very low voice. "By the way, this will be thest for you," She didn''t take much time before opening her eyes and replied to the elite demon general. At the same time, a green-coloured arrow appeared in her hands which looked even bigger than the earlier arrow that turned the ck sword into dust. Without wasting any time, she ced the arrow on the green-coloured bow in her other hand before lightly pulling the string of the bow. ''Swoosh'' The green-coloured arrow radiated a green-coloured light as it rushed at the elite demon general with an incredible speed. ''This arrow again,'' The elite demon general felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the iing green-coloured arrow at him and hurriedly took out a huge demonic shield from his space ring and ced it in front of him. The demonic shield looked majestic and it was very thick. Just from a look, anyone could say that it was impossible to prate through it. ''Even though the demonic sword has turned into dust, this demonic shield has a higher grade than the sword. Moreover, it has defensive properties. So, it will easily block the arrow,'' "Hehe¡­ he wanted to block my arrow with sheer power," When Keshe saw the actions of the elite demon general, sheughed while shaking her head at his confidence. "Huh?" Ajax was once again shocked by her words and curiously looked at the arrow. Even before the green-coloured arrow touched the huge demonic shield, a small hole appeared in it and the arrow rushed into the hole. ''What is happening? How is...'' ''Puchi'' Even before the elite demon generalpleted his sentence, the arrow came out of the huge demonic shield and prated into his chest. "Cough cough" ''What kind of magic is that?'' The elite demon general looked at the arrow in his chest and before looking at Keshe, he asked about how she was able to make a hole in the huge demonic shield even when the arrow didn''t touch it. "Sorry, you have to die without knowing how I did it," ''Snap'' ''Boom'' Keshe revealed a smile on her face before snapping her fingers. As soon as she snapped her fingers, the green-coloured arrow in the elite demon general''s chest sted. Before the elite demon general''s body was sted by the green-coloured arrow, a wisp of ck coloured smoke came out of his body and tried to escape. "Big sister, look. What is it?" As Ajax was observing the elite demon general from the beginning he was able to notice a wisp of ck-coloured smoke escaping from his body and immediately informed Keshe. "Brave, take care of it," Keshe didn''t even move from her ce and calmly ordered someone to take care of the wisp of ck smoke. ''Huh? Who is she ordering?'' Ajax hurriedly checked his surroundings and soon enough he saw a pitch-ck coloured lion appeared in the distance. Within a few seconds, that lion reached the wisp of the ck smoke and jumped at it while opening its mouth. ''Gulp'' ''Thud'' The ck coloured lion swallowed the smoke in a single gulp beforending onto the ground. "Little brother, this is my friend, Brave. He is a Demonic Lion king," Keshe walked towards the ck coloured lion which was 2 meters in height and 2 meters in length. From time to time, the lion released a wave of ck smoke out of its mane that made the lion even more sinister. "Roar" The Demonic lion roared at Ajax as though he was greeting him. "Hello," Ajax returned the greeting and all of a sudden, he remembered something and immediately turned his head to look at his summons. ''Phew...as expected, these demon generals are not just shells and without the elite demon general, they will disappear,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that all the demon generals that were fighting his summons earlier had turned into dust. "Everyone, you did great," Ajax praised all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts before asking, "If you want, go and take rest in my spirit consciousness." "Yes, summoning master. We want to take some rest inside your spirit consciousness," All of his elemental spirits replied to Ajax with exhausted looks on their faces. Even though Ajax and the elemental spirits used the word ''Spirit consciousness'', in fact, they were referring to the inner world. Because it was a rule that they should never use the world''s inner world in front of others. "Roar" Simrly, all the contract spirit beasts roared at Ajax as though they were ready to go inside the inner world. "Okay" After hearing their replies, Ajax summoned them back into his inner world as he knew they werepletely exhausted with the earlier fight. "You take good care of your elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, little brother," When she saw how Ajaxmunicated with his summons and didn''t directly order them to go inside his spirit consciousness, Keshe praised him for taking good care of his summons while caressing the ck mane of the demonic lion king. "Big sister, I have something I need to ask you," Ajax hesitated for a moment before mustering his courage to ask something to the youngdy. "What is it, little brother?" Keshe became curious and hurried him to say what he wanted to say. Chapter 546: Help

546 Help

Even though his chances of surviving in the Zrochester province had increased, he could still die at the hands of the top powers of the Zrocehster province or any other powerful spirit beasts behind Keshe. So, he requested her not to divulge information on him to others. ''Since the demon king''s consciousness has been consumed by the demonic lion king, the demon king has no way of knowing what happened here except for a fact that his elite demon general clone got killed by me,'' After asking her that, Ajax silently thought about the demon king''s consciousness, which was consumed by the ck lion. So, he wasn''t worried that the real demon king would know about his trump cards. "Sure," Keshe didn''t think much before nodding her head and agreed to keep his elemental spirits as a secret. ''Phew...finally a rel...'' "But I have one condition," However, just as Ajax was about to heave a sigh of relief, he was interrupted by Keshe words which made him raise his brows. "What is it, big sister?" Nevertheless, he asked her about the condition as he didn''t have another choice other than epting it. "I promise that I will not say anything about your elemental spirits or contract spirit beasts to any other soul as long as you help me with something," The Keshe stopped smiling and seriously replied to Ajax. "Huh? You are already more powerful than me. How can I help you, Big sister? " Ajax didn''t understand what Keshe needed help with and asked about her. "It has something to do with your Barbarian servant. I know he is from Ylercester province¡­." Keshe slowly started exining about the help she needed which made Ajax confused; however, before she couldpletely exin it, Ajax interrupted by his confused look along with a shocked face, "What?" "Little brother, don''t think much. Actually, it is very simple," Keshe patted Ajax''s head before continuing, "I know that he is from Ylercester province and his spirit consciousness is sealed. When his spirit consciousness ispletely unsealed, then I want him to use his powers to open a portal to his province." After finishing her words, she looked at Ajax for an answer from him. ''Even if you don''t want to help me, I will not say anything about your elemental spirits to others,'' At the same time, she silently thought inside her head. "Sure. I have no problem with it; however, how do you think, his spirit consciousness will bepletely unsealed?" Ajax felt rxed as the help she needed was an easy thing for him. Nevertheless, he asked her about how to unseal Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness. ''Sigh...this is the downside of others knowing all my trump cards,'' However, Ajax sighed when he heard her words because he knew why she was very confident in him even before she knew that two of the Darbaudr''s seals were unsealed. One, he had various element type elemental spirits, Two, mysterious techniques and weapons like Abyssal beast god bloodline and Heaven''s destroyer spear. Since she was a spirit beast, Ajax could guess that she had already noticed his bloodline which was rted to beasts. So, he didn''t bother to ask further more questions. ''Maybe, she wants to go to Ylercester province as the essence of nature is much richer than her,'' He didn''t ask her questions but silently thought about the reason for her to open the portal to the Ylercester province and concluded with the essence of nature of that province. All of a sudden, the entire ce had be silent as they didn''t know what to say. "Roar" Amidst the silence, the ck lion king beside Keshe roared at Ajax in a low-pitch as though it was asking something. "Huh?" Ajax was unable to understand what it was saying and looked at Keshe to trante it''s words. "He is asking you to visit his den," Keshe was surprised when she heard the low roar from her friend ''Demon lion king'' because it was its first time inviting a human to his den. General, the ck lion didn''t even bother to talk to a human; however, he was not inviting Ajax which made Keshe surprised. "Thank you, Brave. Maybe next time. I have to go back to my mercenary squad residence as I have something to do," Ajax thanked the lion but he rejected his invitation and said he would visit when he came to the cursed wilderness next time. ''Roar roar'' The demonic lion looked sad as he replied in the same low roar while nodding his head. "Haha...this is the first time I have seen Brave be like this," All of a sudden, Keshe startedughing while exining the reason for herugh. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows and thought, ''Maybe this is the effect of the title ''Dark Elementalist.'' It was very simple to guess because the Demonic Lion King is a dark-type and demonic type spirit beast. So, it was very friendly with Ajax with his passive title. "Brave said he can understand and asked you toe for sure the next time you visit the cursed wilderness," Soon, Keshe tranted the demonic lion''s roar into words for Ajax. "Sure. I will take my leave then," Ajax nodded his head and said that he would leave. "Okay. When you want to talk to us, you can simplye to the middle section of the?cursed wilderness and me or Brave wille and pick you up," ''Roar'' Keshe and the demonic lion king nodded their heads. After saying their goodbyes, Ajax turned and moved towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "Big sister, if you don''t mind, can you help me something too?" Ajax only took a couple of steps before turning back towards Keshe and asked for help from her. "Sure, little brother. As long as it is in my hands, I will do it," Keshe considered Ajax as her little brother from the first time they met. So, she nodded her head and agreed to help him. "You have sufficient power in venturing the middle-section and inner section of the Cursed wilderness?" Ajax slowly returned back to Keshe and the Demonic Lion King and slowly asked her. He didn''t say what he needed from her; instead, he asked her a question that made Keshe frown as she didn''t understand why he was asking such a question. "I can solve any kind of problem in the middle-section; however, the inner section is veryplicated and there are many unknown spirit beast kingsying dormant," Nevertheless, she answered his question and said that the inner section of the cursed wilderness was veryplicated. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head before saying with a serious expression on his face, "I want some help in finding my friends who escaped into the Cursed wilderness a couple of months ago." "What?" ******** B3kk3n thanks for gifting a sword Chapter 547: Fairys treasured mirror

547 Fairy''s treasured mirror

Keshe was shocked to hear Ajax''s words and felt somewhat unbelievable and asked him, "Can you exin what exactly happened?" She wanted to know what happened to Ajax and his friends that made his friends run into the cursed wilderness. ''...'' Ajax hesitated for a moment and thought whether he should exin to her or not? "If you don''t want to exin, then don''t force yourself," Seeing the hesitant look on Ajax''s face she assumed that Ajax didn''t want to say about his past. So, she asked him not to say if he didn''t want to say. "No no no. It''s not like that," Ajax shook his head and continued to exin about his past, "I used to live in an orphanage and...." Ajaxpletely said about his past while hiding some information about the system and its trial and he ended with, "I want to find my friends. Will you help me?" "I still don''t understand why someone wanted to kill the poor children. Compared to you humans, we, spirit beasts are much better than you," Afterpletely listening to Ajax''s story, Keshe felt pity towards the children in the Silver Orphanage and disgust towards the mastermind of the massacre and she felt that spirit beasts were much better than humans. Ajax didn''t say anything and waited for her to answer his question "So, you want me to help you in finding your friends?" Keshe slowly digested theplete information of Ajax''s past and asked him while thinking something in her head, ''How can they be still alive in the cursed wilderness. They are not even cultivators...sigh'' She sighed when she thought about the facts regarding Ajax''s friends. "Yes, big sister. As long as you help me with this, I will definitely help you in the future," Ajax nodded his head while promising that he would help her in the future. "I have no problem in helping you in searching for your friends; however, do you still believe they are alive even after these many days?" Keshe asked with a worried look on her face because she knew the pain of losing friends. That''s right!?ording to her, Ajax''s friends might have been dead; however, she could not say it directly to Ajax''s face and indirectly asked him. "Yes. It is my gut feeling that they are still alive," Ajax clenched his fists as he replied to her with a confident look on his face. When she saw the confident look on his face, for some reason, she even changed her thoughts and started believing his words. "Okay then. I will try my best in finding them," Keshe nodded her head and agreed to help him before saying, "I can send my spirit beast friends to search for your friends." "Thank you, big sister. Thank you very much," Ajax became emotional all of a sudden and controlled his tears as he thought in his head, ''Finally, I aming for you, friends.'' Ajax wiped his tears from his face and all of a sudden he thought of something and hurriedly asked Keshe, "However, do you know if the humans you found are my friends or not, Big sister?" This was a doubt Ajax had when he thought back to Keshe''s words of sending her friends to search the various parts of the cursed wilderness. However, he shook his head as he remembered that it was easy to identify them because there would be very few humans in the middle-section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness; what''s more, all three of his friends were less than 18 years old and it was very easy to find them. So, he stopped worrying about it and asked Keshe, "Shall we start searching for my friends, Big sister?" Since he was in the middle section of the cursed wilderness, he wanted to find his friends as soon as possible and with the help of Keshe and her spirit beast friends, their search would be easy. "Oh little brother, I need some time to assemble all my friends. So, why don''t you go and take some rest ande back after a week or so? By that time, I will find your friends. What do you say?" However, Keshe asked Ajax to wait for some time because she needed to ask her friends to help her in searching for Ajax''s friends. Considering the size of the cursed wilderness, if they search on their own, it would take months for them to search most of the parts in the cursed wilderness. Moreover, she noticed that Ajax was tired after the battle with the elite demon general and asked him to go back to his mercenary squad building to take some rest and asked him toe back after a week or so. "T..this¡­," Ajax kept his hopes high in finding his friends; however, when he heard Keshe''s words, he started stammering his words. "Don''t say anything now. From your pale face, I can easily say that you need some rest," Keshe stopped him from saying anything and she assured him, "Since I have nothing to do anyway, finding your friends is my first priority now. So, I want you to take a break." "Thanks, big sister," Ajax once again thanked her before saying, "I wille back in a week. I hope I have some good news by then." After saying that, Ajax turned and moved towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. "Little brother, wait for a second," Before Ajax could move away, Keshe stopped him and walked towards him before taking a mirror out of thin air. "Touch this mirror and think of your friend one by one," Without exining anything, Keshe just asked him to touch the mirror before thinking about his friends'' faces. "Okay" Ajax nodded his head and did as she asked. ''Ding, Item name:- Fairy''s treasured mirror. Artifact type:- Defensive/ supportive Grade:- Heaven type Uses:- 1) Blocks one full-power attack from the elite general realm per day 2) Block and reflect all attacks below the elite general realm indefinitely. 3) Can show the thinking of a person when he/she touches it. Special effect:- 1) Impale:- When the owner uses any attack, nothing can obstruct her attack. Note:- Artifact is bound to Keshe, the forest fairy. As soon as he touched the green-coloured mirror, the system sent the information about it which made Ajax surprised. ''It is a rare defensive and supportive type artifact,'' Ajax silently thought in his head and slowly read the uses of the artifact while thinking about his friends'' faces in his mind. ''It has some good uses,'' Ajax nodded his head when he saw uses of the fairy''s treasured mirror; however, when he saw the special effect, he was truly shocked. ''Is this the one that helped Keshe''s arrow travel through the huge demonic shield without any obstruction?'' Ajax remembered how the elite demon general had died and rted it to this special effect. "Huh?" Keshe noticed the shocked expression on Ajax''s face and raised her brows. Chapter 548: Re-cultivated Keshe

548 Re-cultivated Keshe

Keshe asked Ajax in a curious tone when she saw how shocked Ajax was. ''...'' Ajax became speechless when he heard Keshe''s question and hurriedly tried to think of something before saying, "This mirror is a heaven grade artifact, right?" "Yes, it is a high-level heaven grade artifact," Keshe nodded her head and looked at Ajax for a moment before asking, "So, you are an appraiser? Good," Since Ajax had some mysterious techniques and different types of elemental spirit, she stopped surprised at Ajax. Even if Ajax said he had a dimensional crevice, she would believe it without any surprise because Ajax was very mysterious to her. "Yes," Ajax hurriedly nodded his head without any hesitation. "So, you must have seen his uses and that must be the reason for your shock," Soon, Keshe understood the reason behind the shocked expression on Ajax''s face. Even though a heaven grade artifact was rare in the Zrochester province, she knew that it would not be enough to shock Ajax unless he appraised the effects and uses of her ''Fairy''s treasure mirror''. "Yes, Big sister. However, why is it bound to you?" Ajax nodded his head and asked a small doubt in his head because a weapon or artifact would not be bound to someone without a particr reason. So, he asked her about it out of curiosity. For example, his two weapons, Bloodlust spear and Inheritance were bound to him and one other than Ajax could use those weapons. And for the reason they were bound to him was because he upgraded the bloodlust spear and as for the inheritance, he gained the recognition of that sword by learning the sword technique. So, they were bound to him. "Haha," Kesheughed when she heard Ajax''s question and said, "Do you want to know? There is a whole new concept that is rted to the spirit beasts." When she said that, Keshe acted like there was a great mystery behind her artifact. "Huh?" Ajax was confused at Keshe''s sudden change in behaviour; however, he still nodded his head as he wanted to know what was the mystery. "Let me see your friends before I exin it to you," Keshe nodded to her and said that she would reveal the mystery after her mirror shows his friends'' faces. Soon three faces appeared on the mirror that made Ajax emotional as he didn''t see them for months now. "It''s over now. I will show them to my friends and ask them whether they have seen them anywhere and it will be helpful to recognize your friends anyway," Keshe slowly said to Ajax before keeping the mirror into her spirit consciousness. "We spirit beasts undergo a process called ''Recultivation''. For that we need specific¡­.," "Wait a second. So, you are acting mysterious about this ''Recultivation process'' for the spirit beast?" Before Keshe couldplete her exnation, Ajax interrupted her in the middle as he lost all his previous interest in her previous mysterious act and asked her to stop exining it. "What? Why are you asking me to stop it? Don''t say me you know about it already," Keshe became puzzled as she asked him the reason and when thought about a possibility, she became shocked. The possibility of Ajax already knowing about the ''Recultviation process'' made herpletely shocked. "Yes, I know. I learned it from an inheritance ground but it said the spirit beast required a specific cultivation technique to transform into a humanoid being. So, I didn''t bother about it" Keshe already knew so much about it and he didn''t want to say that he already had three contracted spirits which used the re-cultivation technique to transform into humanoid beings. So, he said that he learned about it from some inheritance grounds. "Okay," Keshe didn''t know what to say anymore as Ajax already knew about the re-cultivation process and thinking back to her earlier actions, she became embarrassed. "See you after a week?then," With giving any chance for Ajax''s reply, she mounted on the demonic lion king and disappeared into the distance as though something had happened. "See you then," Ajax shook his head as he waved his hand at the distant silhouette of Keshe and the demonic lion king. "Anyway, since she promised to help me, I can not rx a bit," Nevertheless, Ajax was excited thinking about his friends and rushed towards the exit of the cursed wilderness. Ajax was using his full speed to rush towards the exit of the cursed wilderness; however, just as he crossed the boundary that was connecting the middle-section and the outer section, he felt a familiar sensation in his spirit consciousness that made him halt for a moment. ''Roar'' As soon as he stopped and checked his surroundings, he heard a roar from the distance and hurriedly raised his guard up. After continuous fighting and killing many spirit beasts, Ajax could guess that the roar belongs to a spirit beast of at least rank 5. Since all his skills and techniques were on cooldown, he knew it was not an easy thing to kill a rank 5 spirit beast. So, he raised his guard up. ''Roar'' ''Growl'' Along with that roar, Ajax heard two more sounds which he guessed belongs to the rank 4 spirit beasts. Soon, he saw three spirit beasts in the distance. Their sizes ranged from small, medium andrge. "Phew" When he saw those three spirit beasts, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and felt happy to see them. ...¡­. In the guild master''s room, The guild master, five powerful cultivators, Edmond and others all continued to talk about some things regarding the top powers of the Zrochester province. "So, even after seeing the attrocities of those top powers, you still don''t want to retaliate against them?" Ramon, the eternal nurturer slowly asked the guild master. "As I said earlier, I don''t want unnecessary deaths that would be caused by our retaliation. Moreover, it is impossible for us to overthrow the current royal family because of the powers backing the royal family," the Guild master shook his head and continued, "Let''s talk about this after we have 100 percent confidence in overthrowing the royal family in a single sweep. Let''s talk about your disciples-taking ceremony." "Okay," Ramon nodded his head as he had known the guild master for a long time and stopped bothering him with the same question. "Ask all the young cultivators whom you think have good talent and after our regr tests and depending on their affinity with us, we will select them; however, don''t say we didn''t give face when we don''t like the young cultivator''s talent which you think is high," Sandra, the veiled matriarch said the conditions in epting the disciples. ''I hope all my godsons and goddaughters will be epted by these powerful cultivators,'' Edmond silently hoped in his heart after listening to Sandra''s words. Chapter 549: Secret realms

549 Secret realms

What''s more, no harm woulde to them by the top powers of the Zrcoeshter province. So, he sincerely hoped his children would be their disciples. "I know. If they are not selected by you, theyck the required qualifications," the guild master nodded his head as he agreed to her words. It doesn''t mean if someone called a certain someone as a talented cultivator then that certain someone was actually a talented cultivator. Moreover, along with the talent, the powerful cultivators check for other parameters when taking in a personal disciple. "So, Edmond, it''s time to bring your children out from the shadows," After that, the guild master looked at Edmond and said with a smiling expression. "I will do as you say, guild master," How could Edmond not follow the guild master''s words when he was offering a bright future for his adopted children. ''Looks like I need to change my ns about my mission. I can''t waste their talent for that mission,'' At the same time as he nodded his head, Edmond silent thought in his head about changing ns about some mission. ''I think, its best like this,'' Udo looked at Edmond and silently thought in his head as he silently agreed to Edmond''s decision of bringing his adopted children from the shadows. That''s right! Except for the guild master and Udo, no one in the Zrochester province knows about Edmond''s nine adopted children because they have the threat from the top sects of the Zrochester province. So, Edmond hid them until now and secretly trained them. ''Since the guild master wants to make the disciple epting ceremony public, I don''t have to worry about my children''s safety as no one will dare to make trouble with the five old cultivator''s disciples,'' Edmond felt that this was one of the good things that happened to him for a few years now and carefully nned about his and their future. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, Edmond frowned a little as he thought about something. "You don''t need to worry, Edmond. First, we will secretly conduct the tests for your adopted children and then conduct the ceremony to publicly announce it. So, those who are not selected can remain hidden as you wanted," The guild master seemed like what made Edmond frown and eased his worry with the brief exnation. "Thank you, guild master," Edmond heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words and thanked the guild master. "Okay then. Let''s conduct the tests in any one of your secret realms. What do you say?" The guild master nodded his head and looking at the five old cultivators he asked them about the location for conducting tests for selecting the disciples. These five old cultivators don''t live in the Zrochester province or in the human world; instead, they live in some secret realms that were connected to every world. "We choose his secret realm," As soon as the guild master finished his sentence, all four powerful cultivators pointed their fingers at the one called the eternal nurturer, Ramon. "Why do you always want toe to my secret realm?" Ramon scoffed at the other four old cultivators that selected his secret realm as the venue for conducting the test for selecting their disciples. "Okay then, We will go to Ramon''s secret realm in a week. Until then take some rest and Edmond, you need to heal all the injuries of your children from earlier battle and bring them to their top?shape," Without wasting any time, the guild master finalized Ramon''s secret realm and asked everyone to take some rest as they just had a tiresome battle with the demon army. The guild master, especially, asked Edmond to take care of his children as he knew that they had participated in the battle and were greatly exhausted. So, he gave them a week to rest. "Thank you, guild master," Edmond and others had various questions in their mind regarding the secret realm; however, they knew it was not the time to ask for, and he simply thanked the guild master before leaving the room along with Udo, Blood rose and Darbaudr. "Rulf, you too go and take a rest," The guild master indirectly asked Rulf to go out ofo the room which Rulf followed without saying a word as he knew these powerful cultivators have something important to discuss. "Why did you finalize my secret realm before I even ept it," Ramon patiently waited until Rulf, Edmond and others left the room and as soon as they closed the door after leaving the room, he angrily shouted at the guild master. "Okay. Now ept it," The guild master calmly replied to Ramon and asked him to confirm his secret realm as the location of conducting the tests. ''Well done, Rae'' All the other four powerful cultivators gave their thumbs up at the Guild master''s words. "Sigh... you all wanted to take the treasures from my secret realm. I know " Ramon didn''t argue much because he didn''t like to argue much with others. So, he shook his head as though giving confirmation in his own way. "I know, Ramon is the most magnanimous among all of us," The guild master smilingly replied to Ramon and all others supported him. ''Hehe...you think you can get my things that easily. Once youe to?my secret realm, I will cover all the loses,'' However, unexpected to their expectations, Ramon cunningly smiled to himself and he finally decided to cover all the losses from his friends. "If my guess is correct, the royal family and other top powers must have already got the news of your appearance, I wonder what is their next move," After that, the guild master changed the topic and guessed. "Although the royal family doesn''t fear us much, that couldn''t be said to other powers. Let''s see what they will do," "Anyway, since our Rae doesn''t want to fight them, let theme here and apologize to us and I have a good deal for them. All I hope is that theye here," Soon, everyone started discussing what the top powers of the Zrochester province would do next. "Okay then. Let''s just wait and see for the reply from them. You must be tired of travelling all the way from your secret realms to here. So, go and take some rest," After discussing for a while, the guild master asked them to take rest as they travelled a very long distance toe here. "Don''t think, we have be powerful with our age. We are more powerful than you now, remember?" When Esmund heard, the guild master''s words he retorted. "Okay okay. You can discuss all you want. I will leave this room as my old bones are tired after running here and there...Haha," The guild masterughingly said and stood up from his chair to leave the room. He knew that Esmund was always like that. So, he didn''t bother much about it. ''...'' Esmund became speechless when he saw that and hurriedly said, "Fine, we will leave now." "Haha" When they saw the actions of Esmund, all the other cultivatorsughed before leaving the room with him. As for the guild master, he closed the door and went to sleep on his bed. Chapter 550: Meeting Snow Lions once again

550 Meeting Snow Lions once again

"Hel..." ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Before he could greet the three familiar spirit beasts, the small spirit beast among the three rushed towards him and jumped onto him. Even though the spirit beast was smallpared to the other two, it was still around one and a half meter in height and length. So, when it jumped onto him, he was unable to bnce the sudden force and fell to the ground. ''Slurp'' The spirit beast didn''t give any time before it started licking Ajax''s face. "Stop it, baby snow lion," Ajax asked the white lion on him to stop licking his face. That''s right! The three familiar spirit beasts were none other than the Snow Lion King, Snow Lion Queen and baby Snow Lion king that contained the Snow Lion Emperor. After Ajax asked the baby snow lion to get off him, it stopped licking his face and went back to its parents. "Hello" After that, Ajax stood up from the ground and politely greeted them. "Hello, Human," The snow lions also politely greeted back because Ajax was the one that saved their child. So, they were still grateful to them. "He already reached rank 4. Looks like the bloodline is greatly helping him," After greeting, Ajax looked at the baby snow lion and said to them. "Yes, the Snow Lion Emperor bloodline is greatly helping him. Moreover, it will help even more?in the future," The Snow Lion King walked slowly towards Ajax while nodding his head agreeing with Ajax''s words. Behind him, the other two snow lions also walked towards Ajax. "So, you found me because of the spirit imprint I ced in his spirit consciousness right?" Ajax didn''t know what to say to the snow lion family and he asked a question to which he already had an answer. When saving the baby snow lion, he ced his spirit imprint in his spirit consciousness and officially made it his contracted spirit breasts; however, he didn''t want to separate it from its parents. So, he didn''t even try to take the baby snow lion along with him. "Yes, human," The Snow Lion Queen, which was a rank 4 spirit beasts nodded her head and continued saying, "We didn''t like it in the beginning; however, since you saved my child''s life, we didn''t mind it." The first reaction to the Snow Lion Queen''s words was a surprise. Because thest time he met them, she was not capable of speech and within a couple of months, she learned the human speech which gave him a surprise. As for her words, he couldpletely understand her feelings because who would let others take their child to be their contracted spirit beast? "Moreover, because of that spirit imprint, we are able to locate you now a while ago; however, because of the demon army, we have to hide and we are unable toe out," Because for what reason they have to find him? This was the doubt in his head and waited for the Snow Lion King to continue. "We want help from you, Human," Noticing the frown on Ajax''s face, the Snow Lion King hesitated for a moment before asking for help. "Please continue," Ajax didn''t give his word before knowing what kind of help they want from him and asked the Snow Lion King to continue. "I wille straight to the point," The Snow Lion King stopped hesitating and continued saying to Ajax, "A few days ago, my snow awakened one of the Snow Lion Emperor''s ancestral memories. In that memory, he got lucky and found something called ''Re-cultivation'' technique. At first, we thought nothing about it; however, after our child exined the secrets behind the spirit beasts evolution towards the humanoid form we were shocked." "A recultivation technique? He is very lucky," Ajax knew how hard it was to get the recultivation and was surprised at the baby Snow Lion''s luck. "So, what do you want me for?" After that, Ajax asked the Snow lion king about what their family wanted with him. "ording to our child, while transforming from a spirit beast into a humanoid, he needed to be in an absolutely peaceful ce for at least three days and without our strength, we can not dominate other spirit beasts froming to our ce. So¡­," "So, you want me to send our child into my spirit consciousness and let him transform into a humanoid, right?" Before the Snow lion king could even finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted and finished his lines. After hearing the starting words of the Snow Lion King, Ajax understood the reason what they wanted from him. It was a protection and a calm ce for their child until it uses the recently gained recultivation technique to transform into a humanoid being. ??Yes," Both the father and mother Snow Lions replied at the same time making Ajax reveal a smile as he felt envious at the baby Snow Lion to have such loving parents. "Sure. Since he already has my spirit imprint in his spirit consciousness, I can simply summon into my spirit consciousness," Ajax agreed to the Snow Lion''s request because there was no harm in helping it. "Thanks, human," Snow lion king and queen hurriedly thanked Ajax for epting their request without asking anything in return and they felt greatly moved by Ajax''s magnanimous heart to help their son. "After the transformation, I will bring him back. Also, you don''t have to worry. I will take good care of him," Ajax took a liking to the baby Snow Lion and promised it''s parents about taking good care. "We believe you, human. That is the reason we wanted to find you," The Snow Lion King replied to Ajax''s promise before saying, "We will leave now. Child, be good and take your time in transforming into a humanoid being. You don''t need to be hasty in order to return to us." As soon as he finished his words, the Snow Lion King looked at the Snow Lion Queen, who was looking at her son with tears in her eyes. ''Growl'' With a growl from the Snow Lion King, the Snow Lion Queen stopped crying and soon after that, both of them left from that ce at their fastest speed because if they stayed for another moment, they may not leave that ce. ''Roar'' Seeing the silhouettes of his parents, the baby snow lion roared in their directions as though he was assuring his parents that he would try his best. "After you transform into a humanoid being, then you can go back to your parents. Until then you are stuck with me," Ajax patted the head of the baby snow lion as he half-jokingly said to him. "Roar" The baby Snow Lion was a rank 4 spirit beast and he was just an inch away from learning human speech. So, he could understand what Ajax was saying and he immediately nodded his head as though he was agreeing to Ajax''s word. "Let''s go," Chapter 551: Return

551 Return

Soon, Ajax rushed towards the exit of the cursed wilderness along with the bay snow lion. He didn''t store it in his spirit consciousness because after leaving the Cursed Wilderness, he would store it anyway. So, he let the baby snow lion stay outside for a little longer. ''Roar'' The baby snow lion is not much weaker as he was a low-level rank 4 spirit beast and he was able to keep up with Ajax''s speed. Because Ajax didn''t run at his full speed, it took them nearly 6 hours to exit the Cursed Wilderness. ''Phew'' As soon as he was out of the Cursed Wilderness, for some reason he heaved a sigh of relief and stretched his body before he looked at the panting baby snow lion. "Not bad, not bad," Ajax nodded his head at the Snow lion''s stamina and said, "Now, you can go and rest in my spirit consciousness." As soon as he finished his words, he summoned it back into his spirit consciousness because he didn''t want others to know that he had a spirit beast with him that had the emperor level bloodline. That''s right! A high-level cultivator could deduce the bloodline of a spirit beast with a nce which Ajax didn''t want as he already had a te full of things and at the same time, he didn''t want any additional troubles when he could simply avoid it by storing the baby snow lion in his spirit consciousness. "Time to go back to the squad residence and see how senior brother Paulin and Levi are doing. I hope both of them recovered from their injuries and awaken from their unconscious state," He thought about his two senior brothers Paulin and Levi while running in the direction of the Hazegroove mercenary squad building. ''Honk'' ''Rattle'' Just as he ran less than a kilometre, he saw two spirit beasts which were fighting each other for a blue-coloured shining stone. Ajax didn''t have any intention to interfere in their battle; however, he didn''t run towards his squad building; instead, he watched them from a distance with a funny expression on his face. ''The shameless crane has zero chances of winning against water rattled snake,'' The shameless crane he mentioned was a contracted spirit beast of his senior brother Paulin and from a look, Ajax could guess that it was the same spirit crane he helped his senior brother to tame; however,ter they separated because of the never-returning cave. He didn''t do anything and just watched him fight between a spirit crane and a water rattled snake. ''Life seems tough for the low-level spirit beasts. They have to fight with other spirit beasts even for a single water element spirit stone,'''' Ajax shook his head at the reason why those two spirit beasts were fighting one another. "Shameless crane, let the water snake take the spirit stone, I will give you another one," ''Honk'' As soon as the spirit crane saw Ajax, it didn''t bother with the water snake and rushed into Ajax''s embrace because it knew that Ajax had lots of water elemental spirit stones on him and started its acting to get those spirit stones. ''Rattle'' The water rattlesnake didn''t stay for another second and escaped into the cursed wilderness before picking up the water elemental spirit stone. "You started your shameless acting already?" Ajax jokingly said to the spirit crane before forcefully separating it from his embrace. ''Honk'' The spirit crane looked at him as though it had finally met its life saviour and tried to hug Ajax; however, Ajax was much stronger than the spirit crane and it couldn''t get hold of Ajax. "Here take this and let''s go meet your master," Ajax wanted to bring it to Paulin because this spirit crane was his contracted spirit beast. With that thought in his mind, he took out a dozen water element spirit stones from his inventory and gave them to the Spirit crane. ''Honk'' After seeing the dozen water element spirit stones, the spirit crane didn''t bother with Ajax anymore and concentrated on swallowing those water element spirit stones. ''Gulp'' Soon, the spirit crane swallowed the dozen water element spirit stones, it looked at Ajax as though it wanted more which made Ajax speechless. "You are bing from and more shameless," Ajax scoffed at the spirit crane before saying, "If you take me to my mercenary squad residence building in an hour, I will give you another dozen water element spirit beasts." Even though Ajax didn''t know whether itpletely understood his words, he believed that the spirit crane would have got the inner meaning because Ajax knew that without it, the spirit crane would not have be such a shameless crane. ''Honk'' The spirit crane nodded its head as though it understood Ajax''s words and signalled Ajax with its wing for Ajax to mount. "Good," Soo, Ajax mounted the spirit crane and it started flying at an incredible speed that made Ajax surprised. ''Huh? Why is this rank 3 spirit beast has a speed that of a rank 4 spirit bird?'' Ajax silently thought in his head about the speed of the water crane. However, he didn''t think much about it as he knew where its speed wasing from. ''It must be by the deadline I set,'' When he thought about that possibility, Ajax felt if this spirit crane was carefully trained then it would be a fine tamed spirit beast for his senior brother Paulin. After 55 minutes, The spirit crane flew at an incredible speed that it reached the Hazegroove mercenary squad building within one hour. "Excellent," Ajax caressed the spirit crane, which almost looked like it was going to die any time now. While praising it, he took out twenty water element spirit stones from his system inventory before giving it to the crane. He gave the spirit crane more than he promised because it brought him here faster; otherwise if he had to run all the way from the exit of the cursed wilderness to the squad building which would have definitely taken a couple of hours. "You deserve these water element spirit stones. Come with me and meet your master. Only after meeting your master, you can use the water element spirit stones," Soon, he went into the building along with the spirit crane. ''I will check on senior brother Paulin first,'' He straightaway went to Paulin''s room and opened the door and saw the dual attributed elemental spirit taking care of Paulin, who was still asleep. "cious, how is he?" He went into the room along with the spirit crane before asking the elemental spirit about Paulin. "Captain Edmond said he will wake up in a day or two. So, nothing serious," icious respectfully replied to Ajax because cious knew that Ajax was the one that saved his master. "Good. Let me know when he wakes up," With that Ajax turned to leave and paused for a moment, "By the way, this is your master''s contracted spirit beast. Let it stay here." After saying that, Ajax left the room leaving behind the spirit crane. Chapter 552: Black Mis

552 ck Mis

As for the reason how he knew about it was because of his earth elemental spirit, it. From the beginning, Ajax gave only one task for it. That was to take care of his senior brother Levi. ''Creak'' He slowly opened the door and saw two beds. One was upied by his Senior brother Levi whereas the other was used by it. "Big brother, Ajax," As soon as he saw Ajax, it, who was resting on the bed, woke up before greeting Ajax. "You seem tired. Do you want to switch ces with someone else?" From a look, Ajax could say that it was very tired. So, he asked him while moving towards him. "No, big brother," However, it rejected Ajax''s offer and continued, "Until brother Levi wakes up I will take care of him." "Do as you wish," When he saw the confident look on it''s chubby face, Ajax didn''t force him before moving towards Levi, who was still unconscious on the bed. "ording to vice-captain Udo, brother Levi''s injuries are even more worsened after bringing him," it slowly moved towards Ajax and said in a worried tone which made Ajax frown. "Didn''t his injuries are stabilized when we are in the Cursed wilderness? How can they worsened even more after bringing him here?" Ajax asked the chubby elemental spirit with a confused look on his face. That''s right! After Levi was injured, all his wounds were stabilised with the help of high-level healing pills. So, when he heard it''s words, he looked at it with a confused expression. "I don''t know about it, Brother Ajax. You need to ask Vice-captain Udo to know more about Brother Levi''s health condition," it said as though he didn''t know anything about Levi''s condition. "Okay" Ajax nodded his head and decided to ask Udo about Levi''s condition. ''I think, Spirus can help me find what is wrong with the senior brother Levi,'' However, Ajax suddenly thought about Spirus'' skill ''Diagnosis eyes'' which could see through the illness in someone''s body. So, he decided to summon his Life-elemental spirit. ''Spirus, check the illness of brother Levi,'' As soon as he summoned Spirus, he asked her to check the illness that was making his senior brother Levi unable to wake up from his slumber. "Yes, summoning master," Spirus nodded her head and ced her hands on Levi''s chest before using her ''Diagnosis eyes'' skill. As soon as she used the skill, her eyes shone with a green light. She only observed him for less than a minute before cancelling her skill. "How is it, Spirus? Did you find the reason for his unconsciousness?" Seeing that Spirus removed her hands from Levi, Ajax asked Spirus about Levi''s condition. "What? A ck mist? Is that some kind of demonic energy used by the old man?" Ajax remembered that the old man that injured Levi was a demonic cultivator. So, he thought that must be the reason for the appearance of a ck mist in Levi''s spirit consciousness. "I don''t know the reason; however, it is making impossible for his fire elemental essence of nature to heal his injuries from inside," Spirus shook her saying that she didn''t know the reason but she said what it was doing. "So, you are saying that Senior brother''s injuries are healed only on the surface but they are still not healed in the inside?" Ajax asked Spirus about it and as he finally understood the reason why Levi was still not waking up even after all his injuries were healed. With the help of high-level healing pills, the injuries on Levi''s body were half-healed and he was out of imminent danger; however, to heal his injuriespletely, he needed his own essence of nature. However, due to the ck mist in his spirit consciousness, Levi''s injuries were unable to healpletely. "Do you have any suggestions that might help senior brother Levi''s injuries topletely heal?" Since Spirus knew so much about healing, he asked her suggestion. As soon as he asked that Spirus fell silent with her eyes closed as though she was thinking of ways to save Levi. ''If she doesn''t have anything, then I will have to rely on the system''s feature ''Pay to Know'','' Ajax silently thought about a backup n in his head while waiting for Spirus''s answer. "I know how to destroy that ck mist in his spirit consciousness and once we do that, his own fire elemental essence of nature will take care of his injuries," After thinking for a moment, Spirus opened her eyes and replied to Ajax. "Excellent. What is it?" As soon as he heard her words, Ajax became excited and hurriedly asked Spirus about it. "Since the ck mist is dominating the fire elemental essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, all we have to do is to forcefully send some rich essence of nature into his spirit consciousness," With a confident expression on her face, Spirus gave her suggestions in waking up Levi. "However, the difficult part of this idea is how to send the rich essence of nature into his spirit consciousness?" While Ajax was feeling excited because of finding a way to wake up his senior brother Levi, he heard Spirus speak the difficult part which made him frown. ''That''s right! I have to find a way to inject the rich essence of nature. If he was in that dimensional crevice or in his own province, he would have already suppressed the?ck mist in his spirit consciousness,'' Ajax knew that Levi was from Ylercester province which had a much better essence of nature and thought it would have helped his senior brother to heal his injuries. So, he wanted to find a way to inject the essence of nature as soon as possible; otherwise, he knew Levi would not live with his half-healed injuries for much longer. ''I can''t directly send my universal essence of nature into his body as he is not my contracted spirit beast. With him being unconscious, I can''t do anything,'' With Ajax''s current thoughts, he was unable to find a proper way to inject the rich essence of nature into Levi''s body. ''Calm down. Don''t rush, Ajax. Think carefully, there must be some way to inject the essence of nature,'' All of a sudden, Ajax calmed himself down and fully concentrated on all the avable options in front of him. Spirus and it didn''t try to say anything and silently watched their summoning master lost in his thoughts. "Why am I only focusing on the essence of nature? Why can''t I use another energy to suppress the ck mist?" Finally, Ajax became excited as he found an alternate way to suppress the ck mist in Levi''s spirit consciousness when he changed the perspective of his thinking. Chapter 553: Helping Levi

553 Helping Levi

Ajax looked at the two confused elemental spirits and smilingly said to them. "Summoning master, what kind of drink are you talking about?" Soon, Spirus suppressed confusion on her face before asking Ajax about the drink. "Haha...Actually, it is not a drink; instead, it is a fruit," Ajaxughed as he briefly rified about his idea; however, he still didn''t exin thempletely. Nevertheless, Spirus and it didn''t ask any more questions and waited for Ajax to do his job. ''System, monster peach is ready, right?'' He silently asked the system about the monster peach. That''s right! This time, he wanted to give the monster peach to his senior brother Levi because the reason he was in his current state was because of Ajax. If Ajax didn''t beat the middle-aged man in the fake store in the dimensional crevice, the middle-aged man''s father would not have blocked Ajax and there would be no fight in which Senior brother Levi had injured. ''The reason he is in his current state is all because of me. So, I have to try my best in helping him back and waking him up from his slumber,'' While waiting for the system''s reply Ajax thought about the reason for Levi''s current condition and decided to go all out in helping Levi. ''Ding, Yes. It might have lost its effect in a day or two. Amidst his thoughts, the system informed about the monster peach and Ajax didn''t waste any time before retrieving it from his inventory. "it, help my open senior brother''s mouth," After taking out the monster peach from the inventory, Ajax asked it to help him open Levi''s mouth. Ajax''s n was to crush the monster peach and pour the juice into Levi''s mouth. "Yes, summoning master," it nodded his head and followed Ajax''s orders. ''Ding, Host, are you sure in using the monster peach on someone who you met very recently? Just when Ajax was about to crush the monster peach, the system sent a system notification which made Ajax raise his brows; however, Ajax didn''t give any reply to the system as he continued his work. ''Phew...finally, wepleted the main task and all we need to do now is wait,'' Soon, Ajax and it made Levi drink the juices from the monster peach and heaved a sigh of relief. Just after they pour the juices into Levi''s mouths, Levi''s body started emitting a stronger vitality than before they feed the juices. "With this, not only his wounds but his cultivation will also reach the level 2 elite general realm. If it goes without any mishap, then Senior brother is the?youngest cultivator in the elite general realm that I have ever met," ''Here, ites,'' Even though Ajax could not see Levi''s spirit consciousness, from the vitality and moreover the slow increase in Levi''s cultivation, he could guess that the ck mist in Levi''s spirit consciousness might be suppressed by now. Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry and patiently waited for the energy from the monster peach to be absorbed by Levi''s body by default. ''If senior brother is not unconscious, then this process would have easilypleted by now,'' Even though he wanted to have some good sleep in hisfortable bed, he wanted to see whether his idea would work or not. At a very slow, Ajax sensed that Levi''s cultivation was rising from level 2 general realm to level 3 general realm and that rising continued at the same speed. "Everyone,e to the main hall," As Ajax was waiting for the process in Levi''s body toplete, he heard Udo''s loud voice reverberate inside the entire mercenary squad building. "Huh?" From the voice, Ajax could sense it was urgent; however, he didn''t understand what was urgent. ''Didn''t we already fought with a demon army? Can''t you take a break for a couple of days?'' Ajax shook his head as he thought various questions in his head. ''Anyway, I think this process will take longer than I imagined. I will go and meet others and see what uncle Udo wants to discuss now,'' With that thought in his mind, he took onest look at his senior brother Levi before ordering his element spirits, "Spirus, go back into the inner world and take some rest. As for you, you continued to watch senior brother Levi." Since no one in the mercenary squad knows about Spirus, Ajax didn''t want others to raise any unnecessary questions now. So, he simply summoned back Spirus and ordered it to take care of Levi. "Yes, big brother Ajax," it nodded his head as he sat on his bed and continued to observe Levi, whose body was undergoing some changes with each passing minute. Ajax was satisfied with it''s actions and nodded his head before leaving the room to meet Udo and others. Soon, he went downstairs where the main hall was situated. ''Looks like except for senior brother Paulin, all people came to to the main hall,'' Ajax was shocked to see the fully packed main hall and silently thought in his head. Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr, Edmond''s nine adopted children, Lewis, and Jeff. These were the people that were present in the main hall at the moment. As for the blood rose, she went to her mercenary squad building to check up on her squad members. "Hello, everyone," As soon as he entered the main hall, he greeted everyone with a single greeting. "Ajax, where did you run off to in the middle of the cursed wilderness? If Darbaudr didn''t say that you already left the cursed wilderness, we would have worried to death. Also, we know the middle-section of the cursed wilderness is not a safe ce for you to roam alone," Just as he spotted Ajax, Udo scolded Ajax for leaving without saying anything to them. "I am sorry for worrying you by leaving without saying anything. I will not repeat this again," Ajax knew that if he answered something that would lead to another question and from there another question. It would never end with Udo''s character. So, Ajax simply apologized to Edmond and others. Without any surprise, the little Ajax used worked which made Udo stop from asking any more questions. "Okay. I hope you don''t go back on your words," Udo stopped bothering about Ajax and went to the centre of the main hall and stood on a small table. "I have an important thing to announce to the younger generation cultivators in the room," Udo slowly started exining which made all the young cultivators like Ajax and others excited at his word. However, no one shouted or said anything and waited for Udo to announce the important thing he mentioned. ''Uncle Udo looks serious. I wonder what this announcement is about,'' Many of the young cultivators including Ajax thought the same thing in their minds while waiting for Udo''s announcement. Chapter 554: Udos cunningness

554 Udo''s cunningness

"What?" "Six Vagrant cultivators?" "Of course, we do," As soon as Udo finished asking his question, except for Ajax, everyone in the room was shocked and many of them nodded their heads as though they knew about them. ''Six Vagrant cultivators? Who are they?'' As for Ajax, he didn''t have the slightest idea about who they were and what they did to be known by others. Elder Boron had told him various stories; however, there was nothing about Six vagrant cultivators in them. So, he didn''t know about them. ''Six vagrant cultivators are the six individual cultivators that shook the entire Zrochester province with their powers and even the top powers didn''t want to fight them unnecessarily because they knew that even if they win against them, they will lose many on their side,'' Looking at Ajax''s ''I don''t know'' back, Lewis, Ajax''s guide from the beginning, exined about the six vagrant cultivators through the voice transmission. ''Huh? So they are that powerful,'' Ajax understood why all the young cultivators in the main hall nodded their heads with excited faces. ''Yes. Everyone, including Captain Edmond and vice-captain Udo respected those six vagrant cultivators and hoped to be as strong as them,'' Lewis pointed at Edmond and Udo before saying his words. Ajax''s sight followed Lewis'' finger and saw the respected tone when they asked the question about six vagrant cultivators. ''Hm'' Ajax nodded his head as he understood how much those six vagrant cultivators were respected by the cultivators in the main hall. "Good," Udo nodded his head in satisfaction before saying, "Captain Edmond managed to gain a favour of one of the six vagrant cultivators and he was given a chance to send all the talented young cultivators under him to participate in a test conducted by those six vagrant cultivators." Udo took a small breath before looking at Edmond as though he was hinting him toplete his speech. "What?" "Aren''t they already dead?" "Godfather also said they are all dead twenty years ago," Before Edmond could say anything, the main hall was filled with puzzled faces because ording to the residents of the Zrochester province, those six vagrant cultivators were disappeared twenty years ago and as the time passed all assumed they were dead. So, when they heard Udo''s words, they were shocked and at the same time, they asked many questions to both Edmond and Udo. ''Greetings, young master,'' While the main hall filled with many questions, Darbaudr silently walked towards Ajax and greeted him. "Hello, Darbaudr," "Everyone, calm down," All of a sudden, Edmond shouted at the young cultivators that were continuously asking questions. ''...'' As soon as they heard Edmond''s loud yell, everyone in the main hall suppressed their curiosity about the six vagrant cultivators and became silent. "I know what you are thinking. Until a couple of hours, I felt the same thing; however, we are wrong and the six vagrant cultivators are very much alive," Once the main hall became silent, Edmond started rifying the doubts in the young cultivator''s minds. Even though everyone had many questions after Edmond''s words, no one dared to make any noise in the main hall because they knew that if they made any noise, they would be kicked out of the main hall. So, they continued to suppress their curiosity and waited for Edmond topletely finish his announcement. "More importantly, you met one of the six vagrant cultivators many times," Edmond revealed a small smile as he waited for the young cultivators toe to reality. ''What? We met a vagrant cultivator?'' ''How is that possible?'' ''Father said, I?met him multiple times. I wonder who he is?'' Even though they didn''t dare to ask questions to Edmond, that doesn''t mean they could not use voice transmission to discuss with others. Edmond and Udo know that they were discussing through voice transmission and allowed them to do that as they wanted to feel what they felt when they knew the truth about the Vagrant cultivators. "He is none other than our ''Legeneray Mercenary'' and the owner of the mercenary guild, the guild master," After waiting for a moment, Edmond slowly revealed the identity of one of the vagrant cultivators. "What?" "No wonder, he is the vagrant cultivator," "Wait a second. The guild master established the mercenary guild only after the disappearance of the six vagrant cultivators. So, he must be one of them," As soon as they heard Edmond''s words, they were shocked for a moment, then in the next moment, they were convinced when they connected the dots of disappearance of the six vagrant cultivators and appearance of the guild master. "So,ing to the point, in a week, all of you are going through some trials and those who qualify those trials, they will be selected as their personal disciples," Edmond was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that his adopted children and others were only shocked for a moment before nodding their heads as though they knew about the guild master all along. So, he directly came to the point and revealed the reason why they had called all of them to the main hall. ''...'' After hearing Edmond''s words, there was no response from the young cultivators which made Edmond and Udo frown because this was not what they expected. "Do you understand what I just said?" Edmond thought something was wrong with all the young cultivators and shouted at them. ''Yells?? ''Shouts'' As though they became mad, all the young cultivators except for Ajax shouted and yelled at their loudest. "Phew.." Edmond heaved a sigh of relief when he saw those actions and revealed a smile on his face. "They must have been shocked when they heard your words. So they are not able to shout at first," Udo gave a reason for the silence of the young cultivators when they heard they were participating in the trials of the six vagrant cultivators to be their disciple. "However, there is one odd one, who is not excited even a tiny bit as others," Pointing at Ajax, Udo said to Edmond while shaking his head. "We already knew how capable and talented he is. So, there is no wonder he didn''t feel as excited as others. No to mention the many secrets he carries with him," Edmond continued, "You can stop worrying about Ajax. He is definitely not a demonic cultivator and with the monster peach he had to given to me, he actually helped me close a year or two inpleting my mission." After observing Ajax for many days, Edmond more or less knew about Ajax''s character. So, he asked Udo to stop worrying about Ajax. "That can''t do," Udo shook his head before asking, "You wanted to ask Ajax some questions when we are in the cursed wilderness and even he agreed to answer your questions. So, ask about his secret behind multiple breakthroughs." Udo revealed a cunning smile on his face when he said those words to Edmond. Chapter 555: Golden Coloured Mis

555 Golden Coloured Mis

Edmond became speechless when he heard Udo''s words and became silent for a moment. "It doesn''t matter now. We have many things to do now and not to forget we have to change the ns because of the tests from the six vagrant cultivators," Nevertheless. He shook his head and tried to convince Udo to stop worrying about Ajax. ''Sigh'' Udo looked at Edmond for a moment before nodding his head with a sigh. "Good" Edmond took a deep breath and started saying, "Everyone, for the next 7 days, take as much rest as possible and try to maintain your top condition. Now, disperse." As soon as he gave his orders, Edmond left the main hall along with Udo. ''Yes, we need to be in our top condition. Let''s meet in a week,'' ''Okay, everyone. I will also go back to my room'' Soon, everyone bid their goodbyes and left to their rooms to take a rest. Since the nine cultivators fought against the demon army, they were still tired and with the earlier announcement, they decided to take full rest for the next 7 days to reach their top conditions. "Lewis, Jeff, I will go and take some rest," Ajax also bid goodbyes to Lewis and Jeff before going back to the room in which senior brother Levi was resting. ''Creak'' ''Woah. Th..this is,'' He opened the door to that room and he was shocked by what he had seen in there. ..... In the royal hall, "Your majesty, the intelligence group sent some important news that will shock the entire Zrochester province," Commander Reid kneeled on one knee and reported to Stephen Draton with a scroll in his shaking hands. In front of him, the king of the Zrochester province, who was sitting on his throne chairs with a frown on his face. "What is it?" He was already annoyed with theck of respect onmander Reid''s face and adding with some important news, it made him irritated as he knew it was definitely not good news. That''s right! After Commander Reid was threatened by the kind, he didn''t show any respect he had shown prior to his threatening. As for the intelligence group, it was a small unit that gathers the information across the Zrochester province and if there were any threats to the kingdom, it would be sent to the king. As for other information, it would be sent to other groups under the royal family which would take care of those things. "At the mercenary guild, many cultivators saw the 5 powerful old cultivators flying towards the guild and when they reached the guild building, they disappeared into thin air," Commander Reid continued to read the information on the scroll in his hands, "ording to those cultivators, their cultivation is definitely greater than normal peak elite general realm cultivators." "What? Five powerful old cultivators?" As soon as he heard themander Reid''s words, King Stephen Draton immediately stood up from his throne chair and asked Reid for confirmation. "Yes, your majesty," Commander Reid nodded his head and in the depths of his heart, he felt happy when he saw the anxious look on King Stephen Draton''s face. ''That''s definitely them. I knew it. They can''t die that easily. Are they back for revenge?'' King Stephen Draton suppressed his anxiousness and silently thought in his head. "I think, they are the six vagrant cultivators, your majesty; however, in the report, there are only the sightings of five cultivators," Commander Reid was in the royal army for more than 2 decades and knew who could make the powerful royal family worry just by their names. So, Commander Reid intentionally brought the topic of the ''Six vagrant cultivators''. "Haha...So, what if it?is six vagrant cultivators?" Soon, King Stephen stopped feeling anxious when he remembered something and continued, "Their leader is already powerless. So, even if theye back to take revenge, they will die even before they could cause any damage to us." "Huh?" Commander Reid didn''t understand what his King was speaking and confusedly looked at the King. "Don''t look confused, Reid. Do you know the leader of the six vagrant cultivators is none other than the guild master of the mercenary guild," Looking at the confused look on themander Reid''s face, King Stephen walked towards him and revealed something that made Commander Reid shocked. However, it onlysted for a few seconds before nodding his head. ''No wonder, the royal family always avoided the mercenary guild and secretly did everything it could to destroy the mercenary guild,'' From the start,mander Reid was skeptical of the actions of the royal family; however, after knowing the truth, he secretlyughed inside his heart. "I know you must be feeling happy at the appearance of the six vagrant cultivators; however, let me remember you something, the guild master is severely injured in the fight against the demon king a decade ago. So, there is no way, they can''t win against us," King Stephen guessed thatmander Reid would be feeling happy with the appearance of the six vagrant cultivators because he knew they always opposed the royal family and the royal family was unable to do anything to them. So, he wanted to crush that inner happiness in Commander Reid by remembering him about the injuries of the guild master. "Your majesty, I know they can''t win against the royal family even if the guild master was injured. But, you still have some unknown fear towards them that made you and the royal ministers behind you worried about them," However,mander Reid replied to King Stephen with an expressionless face before ending his reply with, "The worry is real that made you avoid the mercenary guild and that is the reason, who always instigated the top three sects towards them instead of attacking for yourself." "Enough. Go out," When he heard themander Reid''s word, King Stephen became angry and shouted at him to go out of the royal hall. "Yes, your majesty. If you need anything just send a message to me," Commander Reid maintained the same expressionless face and left the royal hall. However, just when he turned back to leave the royal hall, a bright smile appeared on his face. Today was the happiest day for themander Reid as he was able to sessfully irritate King Stephen in a polite way. ''Thismander Reid is bing more and more brazen with his words now a day assuming that I will not kill him anytime soon; however, when Ipletely use, I will torture you and your entire family,'' After themander Reid left the royal family, King Stephen clenched his hands and thought in his head. That''s right! The royal family still needed themander Reid and that was the reason why King Stephen didn''t say anything to themander Reid even when he knew thatmander?Reid was intentionally annoying him. "Come here," Just as he was in his thoughts, King Stephen heard a deep voice from an opened door to his left. "Huh? Master?" Stephen became serious when he saw the door to his left was opened and he heard his master''s voice. Without wasting any time, he immediately entered the room and closed the door. "I heard someone mention ''Six vagrant cultivators''. Are they back?" The room was entirely filled with some golden coloured mist and as soon as he entered the room, King Stephen once again heard the familiar voice and became excited. "Master, where are you? I am unable to see," However, he was able to see his master whom he assumed dead until now. "I am here. This golden colour mist is me and I don''t have much time before I once again enter into slumber," The deep voice once again resounded in the room through the golden coloured mist. "What? You are the golden mist?" King Stephen became shocked when he heard those words and hurriedly stopped walking in the golden coloured mist fearing that his master would disappear if he entered into it. "Haha...no need to worry about it," the voiceughed at the actions of King Stephen before saying, "Let me warn you. Don''t fight the six vagrants yet. I need some more time to be resurrected. Until then, even if you have to apologize to them, you have to do it. Do you understand?" In the end, the voice slowly became weak as though the owner of the voice seemed to not have any energy to speak much longer. "What? You are resurrecting? Great. Even if I have to kneel, I will do it for you master," King Stephen became excited when he heard those words because his master meant everything to him. So, he didn''t hesitate to apologize to the guild master for not sending reinforcements. "Good. I know about you, my dear disciple. Until then please take care. Now go," As soon as the deep voice finished its words, the door to the room opened. "Yes, master. I hope you will be resurrected soon," Without wasting any time, King Stephen left the room and closed it. ''I thought I was never going to see my master ever again. But my master ising back to life. If I didn''t sense the familiar feeling inside the room, even if the voice belongs to my aster, I would have not believed it,'' Aftering out of the room, he felt excited and all his previous irritation was gone. Chapter 556: Levi Wakes Up

556 Levi Wakes Up

In the Hazegroove mercenary squad building, ''Woah'' As soon as he opened the door to the room that his senior brother Levi was taking rest, Ajax was surprised for a moment before it was reced by excitement. In the room, a young man was sitting on the bed and his body was radiating with full of vitality. Beside the young man, a transparent brown colour elemental spirit sat and they were talking about something. "Senior brother Levi," With the excited face, Ajax walked towards the young man and called his name. That''s right! The young man was none other than the senior brother Levi who was unconscious until a few moments back. "Thank you, Ajax for taking care of me until now," When he heard Ajax''s voice, Levi stood up from the bed and thanked Ajax. "It is me who should be thanking you, Senior brother, Levi. If not for you, I would have died back in the dimensional crevice," Ajax shook his head while thanking Levi. That''s right! Back in the dimensional crevice, Levi was the one that saved Ajax and because of Ajax, he was injured. So, Ajax felt he should thank Levi and not the other way around. "Okay okay," Seeing the stubborn look on Ajax''s face, Levi shook his head while revealing a small smile on his face. "Let''s stop thanking each other, first and talk about what happened after I lost consciousness," After revealing a smile, Levi asked Ajax about the things that?happened after he became unconscious. Ajax nodded his head and while sensing the vitality from Levi''s body, he silently thought in his mind, ''Looks like the monster peach took care of everything.'' "But before that, what is your cultivation, senior brother Levi," Nevertheless, he asked something that made Levi confused; however, itsted only a second before turning into a shock. "H...how i..is this?po..ssible?" Levi was shocked a little too much when he checked his cultivation and started stammering in his words. "It is because of the monster peach that brother Ajax has given to you while you are unconsciousness," The earth elemental spirit at the side replied to Levi''s question with a smile on his face. "What? A monster peach? Why did you give me that kind of valuable fruit, Ajax," Levi''s shock increased, even more, when he heard it''s reply and asked Ajax with a puzzled face. Because he didn''t understand why Ajax would give such a valuable fruit to him whom he had barely known for a couple of days. "It is because of your help in the dimensional crevice and saving my life from the hands of the chimera old man," Ajax revealed a smile as he exined the reason for giving the monster peach to Levi. "Still, you should not have given me that fruit and kept it for yourself," "I can''t use it now with my cultivation, Senior brother. Anyway, the monster peach is already consumed by you and it helped you in healing your injuries. That is all matters to me now," Ajax walked towards the bed and sat on it before saying, "However, I am curious about your cultivation, Senior brother Levi." Ajax wanted to know how much Levi''s cultivation had increased with the help of the monster peach because he was unable to see through his cultivation. "I have sessfully broken though the elite general realm and what''s more I have reached level 2 in that realm," Suppressing his shock, Levi slowly replied to Ajax in a calm tone. Even though he looked calm, his heart was beating very fast with excitement as he thought about something in his head, ''I am very close to my goal now. Once I reach it I can go back to my family and then I will see who dares to stop me.'' ''Looks like senior thinking about going back to his family after entering the demi-king realm,; There was a resolute expression on Levi''s face and Ajax could guess what Levi was thinking in his mind. "Great," Nevertheless, he was excited at the increased cultivation of Levi and praised him. "It is all thanks to you, Ajax. I don''t know what can I do for you; however, if you need any help in the future, all you need to just ask and I will try my best in helping you," Even though Levi became an elite general realm cultivator, he knew that without Ajax''s help he would have not reached his current cultivation realm. So, he once again thanked Ajax for his help. "Don''t mention it, senior brother. Why don''t you take some rest and stabilize your new cultivation realm," Ajax asked Levi to stabilise his cultivation before he looking at it, he said, "Why don''t you apany Senior brother Levi." "Yes, big brother Ajax," it nodded his head in understanding. "Don''t worry about me, Ajax. My cultivation is already stabilized and I am sick of lying on the bed for another moment," Levi said with a tired expression on his face as though he was tired of lying on the bed. "Okay. If you want, you can go out and train with Lewis and Jeff. As for why they are training very hard, you need to ask them," Ajax could understand how Levi must be feeling and pointing at Lewis and Jeff, who were fighting on the open ground behind the squad building and asked Levi to meet them. "Sure; however, why are you acting so mysterious all of a sudden?" Levi nodded his head and asked Ajax a question about his sudden change in expressions. "They will exin and I hope you make the right decision. Anyway, I will go back to my room and take some rest," After finishing his words, without waiting for Levi''s reply, he rushed to his room leaving his senior brother Levi and it in confusion. ********** Weekly goal:- Chapter 557: Baby Snow Lion initiates the re-cultivation process

557 Baby Snow Lion initiates the re-cultivation process

This was the only thought in his mind that made him think a lot. ''So, the cultivation increased by consuming the monster peach doesn''t require the cultivator to stabilize his foundation,'' He thought back to the time when Edmond consumed the monster peach. He also didn''t stabilize his increased cultivation and proceeded to do his other works. ''I hope, I will get another monster peach by the time I reach the general realm. Then I don''t have to wait much longer to attack the assassin sect,'' Ajax silently hoped before looking into his spirit consciousness. In his spirit consciousness, two weapons, the bloodlust spear and the inheritance sword were hovering in the mid-air and in the centre of his spirit consciousness, there was a small energy orb which was hovering along with both the weapons. "Should I use this now?" Ajax only thought for a second before deciding to use it as he wanted to level up before the selections of the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' started. With that thought, he immediately took it out of his spirit consciousness before crushing it with his hand. ''Whoosh'' As soon as he crushed it, the rich energy from the energy orb burst out and directly entered into his body. ''Argh'' .What follows next was amon thing. That was Ajax''s pained groans. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully reaching level 2 in both cultivations As usual, he endured the pain and sessfully broke through to level 2 of the elitemander realm in both Spirit and Body cultivation. "Phew...this time the pain is very high. I think it might be because of increasing my both cultivations at the same time," As soon as he got the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief while thinking about the pain which was more than usual. So, he rted it to increasing both cultivations at the same time. "Anyway, what matters now is my cultivation which has sessfully increased," Ajax muttered in a low voice to himself and once again looked into his spirit consciousness. In one corner of his spirit consciousness, the baby snow lion is resting with its eyes closed. "Since I will take rest for the next week, I will let the baby snow lion undergo the re-cultivation process in my spirit consciousness" Next, Ajax decided to allow the baby snow lion to undergo the re-cultivation process because he would be staying in his room for the next 7 days. So, he thought it would be the best time for the baby snow lion. ''Little one, wake up,'' Using his essence of nature in the spirit consciousness, Ajax lightly hit the baby snow lion to wake it up from its slumber. ''Growl'' ''Calm done, little one. I woke you up from your sleep to undergo your re-cultivation process,'' Ajax''s spirit consciousness form appeared in his spirit consciousness as he slowly said to the baby white lion. ''Roar'' When it heard Ajax''s words, the baby snow lion let out a low roar before excitedly nodding its head. It became excited not because of the re-cultivation process; instead, the baby snow lion was excited because it could go back to its parents much quickly if it became sessful in the re-cultivation process. From birth, the baby snow lion never left its parents and it was very much eager to go back to its parents. "Good. As soon as I leave here, I will not move from my ce and give you an absolutely peaceful ce. So, you have to sessfully re-cultivate and turn into a humanoid being. Do you understand?" At the end of his sentence, he became very serious as he asked the little snow lion. "Roar" It roared as though it was replying to Ajax that it understood the seriousness of the matter. "As long as you know the seriousness of the re-cultivation, it''s good," Transforming from the spirit beast to a humanoid being was not a simple task. Even if the spirit beast got the specific re-cultivation technique to transform into a humanoid being, it had to endure so much pain and moreover, amidst that pain, they had to remain focused until they transform into a humanoid being. By any chance, if they lost focus in the middle of transforming; they would die and in the worst case, they might transform into a hideous monster with no rationality. ''I hope you don''t fail in the re-cultivation process; otherwise, I don''t know what to say to your parents,'' Ajax silently thought in his head beforeing out of his spirit consciousness. Soon, the baby snow lion in his spirit consciousness initiated the re-cultivation process. Just after the baby snow lion closed its eyes, the white coloured essence of nature came out its body and surrounded the little snow lion before forming a sphere around it. Once the sphere was formed, the lion''s body started glowing with white light which made it impossible for Ajax to see. ''If I can control time, I would have fast-forwarded the next seven days and directly went to the cursed wilderness to meet big sister Keshe,'' Since he was unable to see the re-cultivation process of the snow lion, Ajax stopped paying attention to it and thought about meeting Keshe to know about the whereabouts of his friends. However, he felt that the time was moving very slow. So, he felt like fast-forwarding the time for the next 7 days because that was the day they agreed to meet. ''Ding, The host''s demonic avatar from the five elemental world requesting to say something to the host. Just as he was calming himself and trying to wait for the next seven days, the system sent a notification that made Ajax raise his brows. ********** Weekly goal:- Chapter 558: Ambushed

558 Ambushed

One, it was to report the progress of the mission he gave his three contracted humanoid beasts. And the other one was to contact him in making important decisions or in case of emergency. ''Since it''s been only a day since I left the five elemental world, I think something must have happened there,'' Ajax directly linked it to the second case and his facial expression became serious and silently ordered the system, ''System, connect me with him.'' He was not familiar with how tomunicate with his demonic avatar from the other world. So, he took the system to help tomunicate with the demonic avatar. ''Ding, Initiating themunication with the host''s demonic avatar. ''Ding, With the host''s current strength, the host can onlymunicate with his demonic avatar for only 2 minutes. So, be quick. As soon as he asked the system to connect with the demonic avatar, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that made Ajax shake his head. ''Only two minutes? I need to be quick,'' Even though he knew the two minutes was very less, he was not disappointed too much because 2 minutes was better than nothing. ''Buzz'' Soon, the demonic avatar''s projection appeared in front of Ajax with a countdown of 120 seconds beside it. ''You have got only 1 minute to finish what you want to say,'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly urged his demonic avatar and waited for it to speak. "Master, when we are on the spirit beasts clearing mission, three peak rank 6 spirit beasts ambushed us," Since it was Ajax''s demonic avatar, it could sense there was not much time for them tomunicate with each other and directly came to the point. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard his demonic avatar''s words and silently hoped, ''I hope there are fewer casualties. He knew that his three spirit beasts in the five elemental world didn''t die because if they do, then he would get the system notification; however, that doesn''t mean they were not severely injured or crippled. Moreover, his contracted spirit beasts were not alone in hunting down the unevolved spirit beasts in the Shixato wilds as they have their own army and he hoped there should not be huge losses. "Even though with the help of Elder Qwerek and other elders of the other two tribes, we killed those three spirit beasts that ambushed us, still Raweth and the other two contract spirit beasts are severely injured and it will take at least a month for their recovery. So, I came to report that the mission will take longer than expected." Ajax didn''t disturb his demonic avatar and waited until he finished speaking. Even though his tone was calm, he was feeling terrible inside his heart as he thought, ''I should have been there with them.'' Nevertheless, he knew it was not the time for that and continued speaking to his demonic avatar, "Is that all?" Ajax noticed that there are still 30 seconds left in their two-minutemunication, he asked his demonic avatar. "There are many things but as you know we don''t have time for it, master." Demonic avatar bitterly shook his head before saying, "Let me say the information we gathered about the unevolved spirit beasts in the Shixato wilds." Ajax didn''t say anything and continued to listen to the demonic avatar''s words as there was not much time left for it to disappear. "All the unevolved spir..it be..asts a..re¡­.," Before the demonic avatar could finish his sentence, the projection in front of Ajax flickered for a moment before disappearing into thin air. "All the unevolved spirit beasts are? Damn...I should have stopped him from saying this when there are only less than 20 seconds for theirmunication," Those words left him in suspense that made Ajax facepalm himself as he regretted allowing the demonic avatar to speak when the main thing that the demonic avatar hade to report was over. ''Sigh...once I meet Keshe and attend the selection tests for bing a disciple of the ''Six Vagrant Cultivator'' was over, I need to enter the five elemental world once again,'' Ajax sighed as he decided to enter the five elemental world once again after the two important things he had in a week from now. He still had one entry to the five elemental world left and he could stay there for 10 days; however, since the speed of time was the same for both the human world and the five elemental world, he didn''t wish to go now as it would raise suspicions in Edmond and others. "But ambush by the three peak rank 6 spirit beasts is very suspicious. Are the unevolved spirit beasts controlled by someone?" Thinking back to his demonic avatar''s words, Ajax felt something was off about the ambush on his contracted spirit beasts. ''System, when can Imunicate with my demonic avatar once again?'' Soo, Ajax asked the system about his nextmunication with his demonic avatar. ''Ding, At least one week or more. Note:- The more frequently youmunicate with your demonic avatar over long distances, the duration of themunication along with the intervals between eachmunication will be increased and decreased respectively. The system sent a notification that made Ajax''s jaws drop because he didn''t expect to wait a week for his nextmunication with the demonic avatar. ''But this note is hopeful,'' Looking at the note on the holographic screen, Ajax felt hopeful because in the future he couldmunicate for more time with less cooldown between twomunications. Chapter 559: Three Headed Poison Hydra

559 Three Headed Poison Hydra

Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about it and went to his bed before freely falling onto his soft bed. ''It''s been how many days since Ist slept in this bed?'' With all the things happening and adding up to the different time speed in the five elemental world, Ajax totally lost track of time as he reminisced about thest time he slept on his soft bed. ''As soon as the baby snow lion finishes its re-cultivation process and evolves into a humanoid being, then I will try the battle tower myself. But, before that,?I should send someone into it?'' While rxing on his soft bed, he thought of using the battle towers he had never used it before; however, he decided to send someone else before that because he didn''t want to disturb the baby snow lion with its re-cultivation process. When he fights someone, he needs to use the essence of nature from the spirit consciousness which would definitely cause fluctuations in it. So, he decided to wait a couple of days and rx. "Whom should I send into the battle tower?" Since the battle tower was very useful in developing the cultivation technique and increasing the battle prowess through fighting in the tower, Ajax didn''t want to waste it and wanted to use it at its fullest. However, the problem was he fell into a dilemma on selecting the participating as there were many summons under him. ''Ding, The host activated the battle tower. Please select a participant to send into the tower to challenge one of the hall guardians. When he was just thinking of using the battle tower, the system had already summoned a small tower-like structure which waspletely covered in golden lustre, in front of him. ''So, this is a battle tower,'' Although Ajax was shocked by the sudden appearance of a small tower-like structure in front of him, he was able to guess it was the battle tower and became a little excited to see it. Until now, he didn''t have how the battle tower looks except for the fact it was a tower-like structure; however, now he knew it was coated with a golden lustre which was very beautiful. "I will go with Bane this time," After thinking for a moment, he selected the poison elemental spirit because it was the strongest elemental spirit after Volcanis. Soon, he summoned Bane out of his inner world. "Bane, go and y to your heart''s content and you can use the full powers of your weapon ''Five elemental poison orb'' to its fullest without any fear," With a slight smile on his face, he ordered the poison elemental spirit before sending him into the battle-tower which was hovering in the mid-air. However, now Ajax gave the order to y with his poison to the fullest which made Bane very excited and looked forward to fighting in the battle tower. "Let''s see who is his opponent?" With a curious look on his face, Ajax summoned a holographic screen that could show the fight between Bane and one of the guardians of the battle tower. ''Th..that is¡­Snake?'' Ajax watched Bane open a huge grey coloured door and entered into one of the halls. The entire hall was billed with a light green-coloured mist which made It impossible to see beyond a certain distance. However, Ajax saw a light-green coloured snake which was blended into the light-green coloured mist in the hall. ''But it is too big to a normal snake,'' Ajax was just shocked and thought that the snake was not a normal guardian. Except for the silhouette of the guardian, Ajax was able to see that snake-like being in the mist. "Huh? The mist is clearing," While Ajax was curious about the guardian, he noticed that the mist between Bane and the guardian was moving away and he was able to see exactly what the guardian looked like. ''Ding, Guardian beast:- Three-headed poison hydra At the same time, he received the system notification that made him shocked because there was three only one head to the guardian he was seeing on the holographic screen. However, in the system notification, it was clearly saying that it was a three-headed hydra. "Is there another guardian in that hall?" Ajax was sure that the thing he was seeing was not a hydra. So, he looked at the surroundings of the hall and noticed a slight movement in one corner of the hall; however, because of the mist, he was unable to see what was hiding there. ''Bane, looks like there is another¡­.'' ''Bane, watch out,'' Just as he was about to warn Bane about the other guardian beast hiding in the mist, he saw the exact same type of guardian beast he saw in front of Banee out of the corner he was keeping an eye on it and hurriedly warned Bane about it. "ying games with me in the poison mist. You still need much more than that to sneak up on me," However, just when the snake-like guardian beast was about to swallow Bane, he disappeared and appeared in front of the other snake-like guardian beast which was standing in front of him and within a fraction of seconds, he summoned his poison scythe before cleaving at it. That''s right! The light-green coloured mist was the poison mist and that was the reason why Bane didn''t have much fear about the ambush as he got enlightened in the ''Way of poison''. ''Swoosh'' Bane thought that the beast in front of him had nowhere to escape and used his full force to leave it. Chapter 560: Using the battle tower to its fulles

560 Using the battle tower to its fulles

''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' However, before Bane''s poison?scythe could pierce the Snake-like creature, a third creature came out of the poison mist and with its tail, it hit Bane with full force. Bane didn''t expect that there was another guardian in the poison mist and he was unable to dodge the sudden attack and crashed into the wall. ''Cough'' "Well yed," Bane stood up from the ground with some difficulty as he slightly coughed before praising the three snake-like creatures that were in front of him. ''Why didn''t he dodge even after I warned him?'' As for Ajax, who was rxingly watching what was happening in the battle tower, he raised his brows as he didn''t understand why his poison elemental spirit didn''t dodge thestest iing attack when he clearly warned about the attack. ''Ding, When someone is challenging one of the halls in the battle tower, all themunications with the outside of the battle tower will be blocked. Just as he was thinking about Bane''sck of response to his warning, the system sent a notification to Ajax which exined the reason for his question. "No wonder, he didn''t even answer me when I asked him about hisck of response," Soon, Ajax understood the reason as he nodded his head. He was not feeling bad with that condition; instead, he was happy about it and he also knew why there was such a condition. ''Since the battle tower is used to increase the strength of an individual, there should not receive any outside help. Moreover, there is no actual death in the battle tower. So, there is nothing to worry even if my summon is dead inside the battle tower,'' Looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Ajax revealed a small smile on his face. ''If I watch this, I will only feel anxious about bane. I better close this holographic screen and rx for a day as I nned earlier,'' With that thought in his mind, he closed the holographic screen before closing his eyes to rest. ''Since I want to use the battle tower to its fullest, then why don''t directly set the next participants in the timer. So, I can rest without bothering about the Battle tower,'' However, just as he closed his eyes, he had a thought in his head. ''System, can you automatically send the next participant after Bane''s challenge ispleted?'' For his earlier thought to work, he needed the system''s help. So, he asked the system whether it could do it or not? ''Ding, As long as you select the next participants, it is possible. ''Phew'' With the system''s reply, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief before nodding his head. Soon, Ajax gave the names of the next participants to the system. ''Ding, The participants'' order for the battle tower is set as 1) Cerauno 2) Twilight 3) Ghost. As soon as he gave the names, the system recorded them and sent a system notification to confirm. ''As for Nite, Dabrus and others, I will send them in the future after they be a little more powerful,'' At the moment, he only preferred to send his powerful summons into the battle tower as they have the high chance of defeating the guardians in the battle tower. The minimum cultivation level of a guardian in the battle tower was rank 4. Moreover, with their title as a guardian of the battle tower, they have their own powerful skills that could even defeat a rank 5 spirit beasts. Therefore, his summons who were yet to reach the general realm or rank 5, he didn''t send them because it would only waste their chance and have to wait for a month to challenge again. ''I don''t want to spend another 5000 units essence of nature for a rechallenge of his summoned beast. Moreover, with the system''s mentality, it will definitely increase it to 10000 units of the essence of nature,'' After hosting the system in his head for a couple of months, Ajax knew that the system was an essence of nature grubber. So, only if he had no choice, he didn''t prefer a re-challenge within a month. ''I wonder what type of hall guardians will Spirus meet in the battle tower?'' In the end, he thought of Spirus. Because she was a healer in his summons, he felt that it was a difficult thing for Spirus to defeat any of the guardians he had known so far. Be it Hornedher hog or Hell Cerberus or thetest one the Three-headed poison hydra. Spirus don''t stand a single chance against these three hall guardians. ''To know that, I need to wait until she bes powerful enough to kill the rank 4 spirit beasts with ease.'' ''Since Bane didn''te out till now, then he must be having a great fight. I will let him enjoy it. Now, it''s time to finally sleep,'' Just like Volcanis, Bane loves to fight powerful enemies. So, Ajax didn''t bother about Bane, who was in the battle tower and went back to his sleep without a worry in the world. ... In the Fire sword sect, "First Elder, what should we do now?" The second elder of the fire sword sect asked the first elder, who was currently the acting sect leader of the fire sword sect with an anxious expression on his face. "What do we do? Just follow the actions of the royal family. What they will do, we will follow them," Kieran, the first elder, was not worried even a tiny bit as he replied to the second elder, Oldins in a calm tone. "But, if the ''Six vagrant cultivators'' wants to go against any one of the sects, then we will be their number one target," Even with the assurance from his brother Kieran, Oldins was unable to stay calm and hurriedly said his inner thoughts. ****** Please read my other book. Chapter 561: Assassin sects problems

561 Assassin sect''s problems

Among the top three sects of the Zrochester province, the Fire Sword sect was the most powerful one with great fame whenpared to the other two sects. At the same time, it had many things to lose if the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' which made the second elder of the fire sword sect worried because he was the one maintaining various things that gave resources to the sect. "I know what you are worried about, Oldins. If they attack any of the spirit stone veins or our shops, then you will lose many resources that are going into your pocket, right?" Kieran jokingly replied to the second elder; however, both of them know what he said was true. Oldins became embarrassed but said nothing as he waited for his big brother to continue speaking. "Don''t worry. I will not reveal it to anyone in the sect. But don''t worry, if we follow the royal family''s actions for not sending the reinforcement when the guild master has requested. Nothing will happen. Also, by any chance they do what you expect them to do, we can always have the royal family to back us up, Keiran smiled as he finished his exnation. As the saying goes ''blood is much thicker than water'', Kieran didn''t even bother to inform the sect about secretly pocketing the sect''s resources because he was his blood brother. "Anyway, we are not alone in this, remember? Just go and do what is necessary," The first elder was very confident that there was no danger for them. So, he asked the second elder to go away. "I don''t think so, big brother," However, the second elder didn''t move from his ce and with the same worried face, he shook his head. "..." Kieran didn''t say anything and looked at Oldins with a confused expression on his face. "Did you forget about Edmond? He is close to the guild master of the mercenary guild and what''s more, the guild master is the leader of the ''Six vagrant cultivators''," Looking at the confused look on Kieran''s face, Oldins rified about the most important thing he was worried about. "Haha..." All of a sudden, the first elder startedughing which made Oldins a little irritated; however, he didn''t have the courage to shout at his big brother, who always lovingly looked at him. "You still don''t know much about Edmond. If he wanted to take revenge on us for what our fire sword sect has done to him, then he would not ask help from the guild master. What''s more, he might even ask the guild master to not attack us," The first elder slowly said about Edmond''s personality which made the second elder ease a little. After finishing his words, the second elder directly left from there leaving behind the first elder alone in the room. ''No wonder, even the sect leader didn''t go against the mercenary guild openly,'' After Oldins left his building, the first elder silently thought in his head while touching the pendent across his neck, he swore, ''I will kill Edmond with my own hands and avenge your death.'' ..... In the assassin sect, "First, there is news that the royal family decided to apologize to the guild master in front of the whole world. What do you think we should do about it?" One of the nine elders of the assassin sect asked the first elder about the same thing that the fire sect elders had just discussed. However, instead of only two elders, here all nine elders of the assassin sect were present. "We can simply follow the royal family," The first elder didn??t think much before giving his reply and continued, "However, that is not the big issue here." For some reason, the first elder didn''t look good as though he was not resting enough and his face pale with messy hair. Just from a single look, anyone could say that there was something wrong with the first elder. "Yes, there is a much bigger issue than the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators''," However, the first elder was not the only one. Even the second elder looked just like the first elder. "Huh? What is it?" "By the way, what happened to you both?" "Much bigger issue than the ''six vagrant cultivators''? What is that?" When they heard both the first and second elders'' words, all the remaining elders were confused and asked about the issue and at the same time, they also asked about their appearance. For these elders, ''Six vagrant cultivators''ing out of their caves was already a big issue and they were not able to believe their words. "Don''t worry about our appearances. All of us need to worry about the issue that the second elder is going to say now," The first elder looked at the second elder after finishing his words and waited for him to continue. "A couple of days back, ourmunication with the headquarters was cut off and we were still unable to contact them in any other way. Do you know what it means?" The second elder ced his hand on his head as though he was having a headache regarding this issuance which was much bigger than the ''Six Vagrant cultivators''. "How is this possible?" All the elders in the meeting room were shocked and hurriedly stood with faces full of anxiety. "Moreover, the sect leader is still in his seclusion. So, we need to do something; otherwise, I don''t know what he will do to us," When everyone stood up, the first elder sat in his chair with a dejected face. "Why?" ***** Please read my other book. Chapter 562: Combat King Sects Goal

562 Combat King Sect''s Goal

******** "Why" After hearing the first elder'' words, all the remaining elders in the meeting room asked the same question at the same time as though they didn''t understand why their sect leader would punish them for losing contact with their sect. "It is only our assumption but we believe it is the only reason for the sudden cutoff of ourmunication with the headquarters," the first elder took a deep breath as he continued, "We failed the two missions that the headquarters has given to us. So, it is the only reason I and the second elder can think of losingmunication with the headquarters." "..." As soon as they heard those words, they became speechless and didn''t say anything as it was a possible reason judging by the headquarters strict actions. "So, when the sect leader finds out about it, he will show his rage on us for being incapable ofpleting those two missions," The first leader''sst words made all the elders worried because that would definitely happen when the sect leaderes out of his seclusion. "So, what should we do, first elder?" Due to the fear of their sect leader''s punishment, all the elders looked at the first elder and asked him. ''Finally...'' As soon as he heard those words, the first elder looked at the second elder and secretly revealed a cunning smile before turning his face towards the other elders. ''I have an idea,'' However, the cunning smile disappeared when he faced the other elders and it was reced with a gentle smile as he replied to the other elders. ..... Not only fire sword sect and the assassin sect, but all the great families were also having their own meetings in their meeting halls and all of them were decided to follow the royal family footsteps to apologize the guild master. ...¡­ In the meeting hall of the Combat King sect, Unlike these top powers, the Combat king sect waspletely different. "Looks like something interesting is going on with the top powers and the mercenary guild...Hehe," In the meeting hall, there were five old men that looked almost identical with slight facial differences. And among the five, one of them slowly started talking whileughing. "Yeah. Too bad that even royal family is fearing the mercenary guild after the return of the ''Six vagrant cultivators''," Another old man mocked the royal family for their foolish decisions. "All the sect leaders family heads and the King knew that the guild master is the leader of the ''Six Vagrant cultivators'' and that''s the reason why we also didn''t go bothering it despite the fact we didn''t like the mercenary guild in our Zrochester province," "Haha...when I think about that announcement, I?could not help but feel happy," "Haha" All the five old men speak one after another whileughing at the announcement they had made a few years back. That''s right! A few years back, for some reason, thebat king sect released an announcement to the entire Zrochester province that they won''t bother with the province''s matters and don''t want to fight with other sects unless they were provoked. With that, they have closed their sects door and the entire sect entered into seclusion. "Moreover, our disciple only need one or two months to reach the general realm. I hope he breakthroughs to the general realm and forms a contract with another elemental spirit before the ''Champion''s contest'' starts," Amidst their discussions, one of the old men spoke about a disciple which made all the other old men unconsciously smile. "We did a great thing by sending the disciples to the summoner king''s inheritance despite the fact when we are still under closed doors," "Yes. Also, with the help of the guidance from us five old men, he will definitely reach the kind realm and will be the sole ruler of this Zrochester province," .. .. . Just like that, they once again start discussing about a disciple who managed to form a contract with an elemental spirit in the inheritance ground. Thebat king sect always remained low-key and aimed for something big which was to be the sole ruler of the Zrochester province. "I bet this issue with the guild master of the mercenary guild will not be over this soon and I bet my 2 spirit stone veins," Once again they came back to their old topic and one of the old men ced a bet. "All of us think the same. So, no one will ce a bet against you when we already know we will lose that," One of the old men replied with a scoff before saying, "Okay then. Let''s go back and gain someprehension of our elements." After that old man spoke, everyone dispersed to their own houses without a word as though he was the leader of the group. .... Outside the Hazegroove mercenary squad building, "Edmond, what are you nning now? With this disciples selection, there should be some changes, right?" Udo looked at Edmond as he asked about the mission they were nning for more than a year now. "Without then, I need topletely change the n," Edmond stretched his body while looking at Lewis, Jeff, Levi and it were discussing something and replied to Udo. "So, why don''t you ask the guild master to extend this selection or stop your adopted children from taking it. I know they didn''t like your decision about removing them from your mission," Udo shook his head as he gave some suggestions to his friend. "Of course I know it. But, what will happen even if we sessfully finish the mission despite our low chances of aplishing it? They will be stuck in this province if they don''t be powerful," Edmond nodded his head and gave his own reasons to Udo before saying, "Anyway, let''s stop thinking about the mission for a few days until this selection thing is over." After finishing his words, he went into the building leaving behind Udo, who made a body action, "Your wish". Chapter 563: Poison recover

563 Poison recover

******** Soon three days passed by in a sh. Inside Ajax''s room, ''It''s been a while I sleep like this,'' Ajax woke up from his sleep and with a smile on his face, he thought in his mind while going for a bath. For thest three days, Ajax did nothing but eat and sleep. Moreover, no one disturbed him because all the young cultivators in the Hazegroove mercenary squad building were busy with their own preparations for the disciple selection by the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators''. "After three days ofplete rest, I feel awesome," Soon, he came out of the bathroom and wore a new set of clothes before sitting on his bed. From the moment, he started cultivating, he didn''t take many breaks and finally, after taking three days of rest, he was refreshed. "Time to challenge the battle tower," Since he was in a great mood today, he decided to challenge the battle tower, which he had postponed till now and asked the system, ''How did the battle tower challenges go with my summons?'' ''Buzz'' As soon as he asked the system about it, a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''What the...?'' Ajax was shocked by what he had seen on the holographic screen. The reason was simple. It was because Bane was still fighting in the battle tower and the guardian was a different one. ''What is happening? How is he still fighting even after three days?'' Ajax waspletely shocked with Babe''s stamina to fight the three-headed poison hydra for three days. Moreover, he was still keeping up with the guardian. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit had learned a new skill while you are still sleeping. While he was watching Bane fighting the three snake-like creatures, the system replied to Ajax exining the reason behind Bane''s stamina to fight for three days. "Excellent. What is the skill?" Ajax was excited when he saw the system notification and hurriedly asked about the new skill because any skill that could help someone to continuously fight for three days was not a normal skill. So, he was eager to know about it. ''Poison recover'' However, before the system could reply to his question, Bane, who was inside the battle tower and fighting the three snake-like creatures, shouted all of a sudden making Ajax focus on the battle. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Bane shouted ''Poison recover'' all the poison mist around him was sucked into his body and all the injuries on Bane''s body started recovering at an incredible speed. ''Holy sh*t'' Ajax was shocked at Bane''s recovering speed which could be seen at a visible rate and at the same time, the tired look on Bane''s face also disappeared and was reced by a lively look. ''Swoosh'' ''Hehe'' However, Bane revealed a cunning smile on his face and didn''t move from his ce. ''Whoosh'' Just when the three snake-like creatures were about to hit Bane, with a ''Whoosh'' he jumped into the air. ''Ding'' ''sh'' At the same time, he jumped into the air, Ajax received a ''Ding'' and before he could see what it was, he noticed on the holographic screen that Bane lightly shed his poison scythe in a circr motion while he was still in the air. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host. His poison elemental spirit, Bane has sessfully broken through to the General realm. Only after Bane shed the heads of the three snake-like creatures, Ajax saw the system notification which made his earlier surprise of Bane cutting off the three heads of the snake-like creature disappeared. ''No wonder, he was able to easily cut off the heads of those things,'' Ajax smiled while looking at Bane, who was stretching his body after a three-day fight in the battle tower. ''Boom'' All of a sudden, there was an explosion in front of Bane and the three dead bodies of the snake-like creatures started moving towards one another and soon they merged into a single entity beforeing back to life. ''Ding, The true form of the three-headed poison hydra is activated and the true challenge starts now. As soon as the three snake-like creatures merged into a single entity, Ajax got a system notification and then he understood something. ''So, this is the actual three-headed poison hydra,'' With that thought in his mind, he looked at the guardian of the hall. It had three heads attached to a single body which looked like a dragon''s body with spikes over his body. ''Let''s see how strong it is,'' Ajax looked at the three-headed poison hydra and curiously waited for the fight. ''Swoosh'' One of the heads rushed at Bane and surprisingly the head stretched longer than it looked. ''I didn''t expect this,'' Bane quietly dodged the attack as he thought in his mind. "Rumble" ''Kacha'' However, just as he was observing the Hydra, the ground below him rumbled and a dragon tail came out of it and wrapped Bane in the tail. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he got caught, one of the heads released fire through its mouth and burning Bane to death. ''Aarg'' Among all elemental spirits that died in the battle, Bane''s death was the most painful one. Because fire had a greater advantage over poison and what''s more he was not in a position to escape. Soon, Bane''s body started disappearing from the battle tower and he directly entered into the inner world. ''Damn it. Just you wait, snake, I will take revenge next month,'' As soon as he entered into the inner world, he directly went to his poison elemental paradise and started cultivating while thinking of revenge towards the three-headed poison hydra. "It is really fast after transforming into its true form," As for Ajax, he waspletely surprised with the agility of the Hydra before thinking, "I will give it a try now." Chapter 564: Monsterous brown lizard

564 Monsterous brown lizard

******** ''System, I want to enter the battle tower,'' As he already decided to go into the battle tower, Ajax asked the system to send him into it. ''Ding, The list of participants is already set in motion. The host needs to wait until he gets his turn. However, the system didn''t send him into the battle tower and said that there were participants in the line. ''...'' Seeing that system notification, Ajax became speechless as he facepalmed himself. ''If I have known that Bane can fight that three-headed poison Hydra, then I would have not ordered the system to automatically send my summons into the battle tower,'' Ajax bitterly shook his head and thought in his head. ''Ding, Do you want to watch Cerauno''s fight in the battle tower? Yes / No Just as his great mood from the earlier was gone, Ajax received a system notification that made him nod his head and he chose ''Yes'' ''Buzz'' Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax in which he saw Cerauno entering into a huge hall. ''Since I am tired of resting anyway, I will watch the fights to entertain myself,'' Soon, Ajax rested his back on the bed and continued watching the holographic screen. Inside the battle tower, ''Let''s see what kind of guardian is guarding this hall?'' Cerauno entered into a hall and looked at his surroundings. This hall waspletely filled with water with few t stones here and there that could be used to stand. ''Looks like this is my lucky day,'' Since Lightning element had an advantage against the water element, Ceraun thought it was his lucky day and patiently waited for the guardian to appear. ''Ssh'' A few stones fell into the water and Cerauno looked at the ceiling of the hall. To his surprise, the guardian was not in the water; instead, it was crawling on the ceiling of the hall. "This is not a water-element spirit beast, it is an earth element spirit beast," What surprised him the most was the guardian of the hall because it was an earth element spirit beast. "Looks like it''s not," Soon, he changed his earlier words and became serious despite the fact he was at a total disadvantage ording to the element-type. The spirit beast on the ceiling of the hall looked like a lizard which was brown coloured with the size around 3 meters in length. To its sides, the spirit beast had gills with long tongue and saliva dripping from its mouth. ''Anyway, I need to try my best and defeat it,'' Even if there was an element-disadvantage, it alles down to power. With absolute power, there was no need for an element advantage. ''Enhancement,'' ''Weapons, appear'' ''Advanced enchantment'' He didn''t want to lose without putting up a fight. So, he didn''t bother to hide his skills and used all them (except for the ''Merge'') in a single go. Within a few seconds, hundreds of weapons that were made up of lightning and consisted of swords, spears, halberds and many more weapons. Also, with the ''advanced enchantment'', all those weapons looked even more powerful and shone with bright light. "Roar" Looking at all the powerful lighting weapons in front of Cerauno, the lizard-like creature roared at him before jumping at him while opening its mouth wide open. "What an opening I got. Excellent," For some reason, Cerauno didn''t feel much that he was at a disadvantage when he saw that the lizard-like creature was jumping at him and with a loud voice, he shouted, "Attack" As soon as he shouted, all the lightning weapons in front of him rushed at the lizard-like creature at an incredible speed and entered into its mouth. ''Kacha'' ''ng'' ''Boom'' All the lightning weapons rushed into the lizard-like creature''s mouth and cut its tongue before ending with a huge st. ''Ssh'' The lizard-like creature fell into the water and all of a sudden the entire hall became silent. "Is it over already?" Ajax, who was watching the fight on his holographic screen, was surprised by Cerauno''sbined skills and looked at the ce where the guardian had fallen into the water. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit forpleting its first hall in the level 1 of the battle tower. ''Ding, It defeated the hall guardian,?Monstrous brown lizard in a single attack and gained a special reward which is specific to it. ''Ding, Do you want it to continue to the next hall? Or do you want to terminate it? As Ajax was still in the confusion whether Cerauno killed the hall guardian or not, he got a series of system notifications that made him shocked and excited at the same time. "He really killed the hall guardian in a single attack," Although Ajax knew that Cerauno used three of his skills to kill the hall guardian, it was only a one move which was only stacked by the other two skills to increase the powers of his first skill. So, the system and Ajax considered it as a single attack. "Moreover, he got a special reward, I wonder what it was," Ajax was once again back to his great mood with Ceraunopletion of a hall. ''Ding, Do you want it to continue to the next hall? Or do you want to terminate it? Just as he was feeling great for his elemental spirit''s achievement, he once again received the same system notification asking about his permission. "Let him continue all he wants to take a break," Even though he wanted to give a try in the battle tower, Ajax didn''t want to stop Cerauno because he knew that it was not a wise decision to do and allowed Cerauno to continue fighting the next hall of the battle tower. "System, what did Cerauno received as his reward," Like all humans, Ajax was also curious about the reward and asked the system about it. Chapter 565: Fire Trolls

565 Fire Trolls

******** In the earlier notification, the system only said that he had received a special reward that was specific only to him; however, it didn''t give any information on the reward. ''Ding, Cerauno gained a lightningprehension orb. The system sent the notification to Ajax''s head and revealed Cerauno''s special reward. "Cool" When he saw that, Ajax thought it was cool. Although theprehension in a special element might not be helpful very much other than increasing that specific lightning attacks in the lower cultivation realms, it was very useful in the higher realm. Without theprehension in their respective element, then it was almost impossible for a cultivator or spirit beast to break through to the king realm and they would be stuck at the demi-king realm. ''Although I don''t know what level ofprehension is required to break through to the King realm, it is still useful for Cerauno as he will be one step aheadpared to other elemental spirits,'' When he listened to Elder Boron'' lessons, Ajax didn''t understand them quite well at that time; however, all of those lessons were making sense for him now as he slowly used those lessons for him and his summons'' progress in their cultivation. Nevertheless, he was not sure about what level ofprehension was needed to reach the King realm. "Let''s see, how is his next hall guardian," Soon, he focused on his holographic screen and watched Cerauno. Ajax wanted to know how many halls were present in the firstyer or level 1 of the battle tower and who were their guardians. So, he was excited to see the next hall guardian. ''Creak'' Soon, Cerauno opened the huge door. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' As soon as he entered the hall, many sharp needles pierced in Cerauno''s entire body and before he could see the hall guardian, he fell to the ground with a ''Thud''. ''Woah. What is it?'' For some reason, Cerauno appeared in front of Ajax and both of them repeated the same line. They didn''t see who the hall guardian was; however, they were sure about one thing. It was powerful. Very powerful. "Cerauno, you did well in your first hall even when you are having an element-disadvantage with the monstrous brown lizard," Nevertheless, Ajax suppressed his shock from thest hall guardian''s attack and tried to encourage Cerauno because it was his duty to console and encourage this summons when they were down. "Thanks, master. I gained a lightningprehension orb and when I go into the battle tower next time, I will definitely kill that hall guardian," Cerauno was a little bit annoyed at being defeated in an unknown opponent''s hands and swore to kill the hall guardian the next time he entered the battle tower. While saying that, Ajax sent Cerauno into the mini thunder pool in the inner world. Compared to Cerauno, Bano was a little better because he didn''t feel dejected when he lost; instead, he directly went to his poison elemental paradise to cultivate. "Now, it''s Twilight''s turn," Ajax was really looking forward to Twilight''s fight in the battle tower. ''Twilight, I hope, you will win at least one hall guardian in the battle tower,'' Since he couldn''tmunicate with his summons once they entered the battle tower, Ajax directly said to the destructive dragon when it was still in his inner world. ''Roar'' Twilight, in reply, roared back at Ajax''s spirit consciousness form in the inner world as though it was angry that he didn''t have confidence in it. "I know you are powerful but you still need to be careful; otherwise, you will not get any rewards. Do you understand? REWARDS," Among all his summons, the twilight destructive dragon was greedy because dragons, by nature, were greedy. So, Ajax emphasized on the word ''Rewards'' in order to get its attention. ''ROAR'' As soon as it heard Ajax''s words, the dragon roared in a loud voice that made the entire inner world shake and all the summons in the inner world were annoyed at the roar because it was quite disturbing for them. Nevertheless, they didn''t say anything as they were already got ustomed to its roars every now and then. "Good. That''s the spirit. Now go and show your full power to me," Just from the roar alone, Ajax got goosebumps and he knew how excited the destructive dragon was. So, he sent it into the battle tower before his spirit consciousness form disappeared from the inner world. "My expectations are destroyed by some powerful hall guardian earlier. I hope nothing like that happens ever again; otherwise, I might die out of curiosity," Ajax jokingly muttered to himself as he watched the holographic screen. Inside the battle tower, ''Roar'' With a roar, Twilight opened the huge doors of the hall before entering the hall. The hall''s interior looked just like a hall that was guarded by the Hell Cerberus, which waspletely filled withva and ck rocks. Unlike other halls, this hall didn''t have a single guardian but multiple guardians. That''s right! There were many simr-looking beings inside this fire-type hall. ''Huh? A fire troll?'' Without the help of the system, Ajax was able to recognize the simr-looking beings in the hall. They were called Fire trolls. They were one of the humanoid races that like to live in ces with high temperatures. With mes on their hands, legs and hair, long nose, sharp nails. However, their height is only 1.5 meters and in front of Twilight, they looked very small. ''Dragon w'' While Ajax was observing the fire trolls, Twilight didn''t waste any time before using its dragon w to wipe hundreds of fire trolls in a single attack. ''Huh? What is that?'' As soon as the Twilight destructive dragon started attacking the fire trolls, Ajax noticed something on the wall opposite to the huge door from which Twilight had entered and raised his brows. Chapter 566: Dark Energy Bus

566 Dark Energy Bus

******** "Clear (24/10000)" "Is that some kind of target to clear this hall?" Looking at the numbers on the wall, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' While Ajax focused on the numbers on the wall, the dragon was on a killing spree and continued to kill the fire trolls. ''Looks like it is the target to clear this hall,'' Everytime, the dragon killed a fire troll, the starting number on the wall increased, making Ajax confirm his earlier guess. ''Dragon rage'' Twilight used Dragon rage to increase its speed and power to kill the fire troll. In a single move, the dragon killed more than a dozen or sometimes a couple of dozens. ''Roar'' Even though the dragon was fighting and killing many fire trolls, that doesn''t mean the fire trolls were not attacking the dragon. Since they were small, they were able to dodge its attacks and jumped onto the back of the dragon. ''ng'' ''Kacha'' With their sharp nails, the fire trolls wed into the dragon''s back. Many of them were not able to prate into its back; however, after their continuous attempt, the fire trolls were sessfully dug into its body. ''Roar'' Twilight roared in pain when the fire from the fire trolls touched the injured areas on its back. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Just a moment of carelessness and hundreds of fire trolls jumped onto its back and continued to dig with their sharp nails and burned those areas. ''Roar'' Finally, the twilight destructive dragoon could not take the pain anymore and sessfully angered to the point where it flew into the air and hit its back to the ceiling with full power. "Clear (1234/10000)" "These small minions are very powerful despite the fact they were looking very small and powerless," When he first saw the fire trolls in the battle tower, Ajax didn''t think much about them because they looked weak; however, his opinion on them changed when he saw how much trouble they were giving to Twilight. ''Never underestimate weak-looking creatures when you are in front of a colony'' This was the only thought in his head when he saw the battle on his holographic screen. ''Twilight only cleared 12 percent of the total target and it had already injured by them,'' Looking at the dragon on the holographic screen, Ajax revealed a smile as he knew that the twilight destructive dragon was about to go crazy and beat the shit out of those fire trolls. ''Roar'' As Ajax expected, after clearing the fire trolls from its back by mming itself to the ceiling of the hall, dark energy released from its body. ''Ding, At the same time, Ajax received a system notification informing him about Twilight''s passive skill. "This is what I am waiting for," It was not a new skill and it''s been a while since the dragon awakened that skill; however, it didn''t use it until now. So, Ajax was excited at what the twilight destructive dragon could do now by triggering its passive skill. ''Roar'' ''Rumble'' ''Boom'' However, unexpected to Ajax''s thoughts the dragon roared out loud and started destroying the walls of the hall to increase his battle prowess. The more it destroys the stronger it would be and the dark energy emitted by the dragon also continued to grow. Soon, except for the dark silhouette, Ajax was unable to clearly see the dragon anymore. "Boom" Just as he was wondering what the dragon was about to do, he saw a wave of ck miste like a flood and killed all the fire trolls surrounding it. "Clear (5000/ 10000)" "Holy shit. There were not even 2000 fire trolls on the surface; however, it nearly killed 4000 fire trolls in a single attack," All of a sudden, the progress that was disyed on the wall increased at an incredible speed that made Ajax shocked as he shouted while watching the battle and the progress bar at the same time. "Maybe the other fire trolls are hidden in theva," On the surface there were only around 1000 fire trolls whenever some of them died then the new fire trolls would rece them and at each second the total number of fire trolls were constantly maintained around 1000. After all the fire trolls on the surface along with some of the fire trolls hidden in theva, the new batch of fire trolls appeared out of theva. ''Come on, Twilight. You can easily do it,'' Even though he knew that the dragon could not listen to him, he still encouraged it through the spirit contract. After seeing the earlier attack that looked like ''Dark energy bust'', Ajax''s expectations of the Twilight went to another level. ''With just an early rank 5 cultivation, it killed 4000 of rank 4 fire trolls. So, what will happen if it reaches rank 6?'' Just thinking about it made his heart flutter because to take his revenge against the assassin sect, he had to take care of many elitemander realm and general realm cultivators before challenging the top echelon of the assassin sect. So, with Twilight alone, he could take care of those elitemander realm and general realm cultivators. "I just need to reach the elite general realm and then I will see who would dare to stop me and my summons," With each additional boost in his skills or in his summons''s skills, his confidence in taking revenge against the assassin sect and finding out the truth about the massacre was increased day by day. "Roar" ''Boom'' ''Boom'' As Ajax was in his thoughts about revenge against the assassin sect, the dragon continued to release the same attack which Ajax named it as ''Dark energy bust''. Within just another two of those attacks, the number on the wall hit "1000". "Cleared (10000/10000)" ''Rumble'' As soon as the target was cleared, the whole hall started crumbling. Chapter 567: Armoured Titan

567 Armoured Titan

******** ''Rumble'' ''Ssh'' All walls that were already destroyed by Twilight started crumbling and fell into theva. "What is happening??Is there a real guardian hidden in this hall?" Lately, he had been received more shocked from the battle tower and since he didn''t get any system notification informing the clearance of the hall, Ajax assumed that there might be a real hall guardian hidden inside the hall. ''Wait a second. Are those walls that thick?'' All of sudden, Ajax noticed that the walls were continuously crumbling without stopping which made Ajax wonder about them. "Roar" Since all the walls were falling, Twilight tried to fly in the air; however, after reaching a certain height, it was obstructed by something and could not fly past that region. "Now, I understood what it is," With that incident, Ajax understood what was happening and thought in his head, ''The hall itself is the guardian and it is burying Twilight alive.'' That''s right! Twilight had nowhere to escape from the hall and continued to use the ''Dark energy bust'' to stop the rocks that were falling on it. ''Twilight. Endure it,'' Looking at the holographic screen, Ajax felt his heartache and worriedly thought in his heart. The only way to get out of the battle tower was to either have the participant have to be killed or they must have cleared a hall toe out of the battle tower. Moreover, Ajax had no way of contacting it and sighed while praying that his dragon would endure the pain. ''Rumble'' Just as the dragon continuously sent the flying rocks away from it, the rate at which the hall copsed was increased. ''Thud'' However, the dragon could not keep up with the rate at which the hall was copsing and directly fell to the ground. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' As soon as it fell to the ground, Twilight used its two wings to cover its head and used, ''Scale hardening'' while enduring the pain that came from the falling rock. ''Silence'' After a few minutes, the rumbling stopped and the dragon''s entire body was covered by many rocks. The entire hall fell into a silence. ''Please be okay, Twilight,'' Ajax, who was watching the silent hall on his holographic screen prayed for his dragon to be okay because it had endured so much pain and used all its power in the process. So, if it was still alive, it would be worth it. ''Rumble'' Soon, there was a slight rumbling sound in the silent hall as the rocks on the dragon''s body started moving. ''Ding, ''Phew...it''s alive,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he was excited because he got the system notification. Soon, he opened the inbox to see the system notification. ''Ding, ''Ding, The participant has received a special reward. ''Ding, Do you want it to proceed to the next hall? Or summon it back? There were three new system notifications which surprised Ajax. ''As expected. Clearing this hall will definitely give the reward'' When he saw the reward system notification, Ajax was not surprised much because he already expected if his dragon cleared this hall, it would definitely get a reward. ''It is not a regr hall that anyone can win,'' Because Ajax guessed that this hall which was named as ''Magical Hall'' was definitely the most difficult hall (leaving the one that Cerauno instantly got killed). ''It is already tiring for it. Let it rest,'' Looking at Twilight''s state, Ajax knew it could not battle anymore. So, he summoned it back into the inner world. ''It is really magical that the participant who was severely injured in the battle toweres back without a scratch on their bodies,'' Ajax always felt that the entire battle tower was very magical because there were no injuries on Twilight after it returned back to the inner world or even the one that died in the battle tower could be very much alive. "Phew... anyway, I wonder what it had received by clearing the ''Magical Hall''," Taking a deep breath, he looked at the holographic screen while thinking about the special reward that his dragon had received from clearing the hall. However, soon his attention was distracted by the Three-eyed ghost fox in the battle tower. ''Cool'' Unlike other spirit beasts or elemental spirits, Ghost used some kind of technique to open the huge doors without touching them. ''Tap'' ''Tap'' After that, he lightly hopped into the hall as though he was going for a pic. ''Is he really that confident in clearing the hall? Or is he just taking the hall very lightly?'' Ajax didn''t know what Ghost must be thinking but he felt funny by its actions and continued to watch it. "Haha...a small fox? I can kill it with my finger," Soon, a loud voice resounded in the hall that made Ajax raise his brows. ''A talking guardian?'' This was the first time Ajax heard the hall guardian talk with the participant. So, he carefully looked at the source of the voice. ''An armoured Titan?'' Ajax was shocked to see the hall guardian, who was shining in golden armour with around 10 meters tall. Titans were one of the most powerful races that were said to be ruling the greater worlds. So, Ajax was shocked to see there was even an armoured titan''s protection stored in the battle tower for his training. ''System, who are you really? Where do youe from?'' Even though he knew that the system would ask him to wait until he became powerful, he once again asked about its origins when he saw another powerful race being in the battle tower. ''...'' As he expected there was no reply from the system and he didn''t bother about its origins because he knew, he had to be powerful to get the answers from the system. Chapter 568 - Phantom Slash

Chapter 568 - Phantom sh

Inside the battle tower, ''Growl'' When the ghost fox heard the words of the hall guardian, he growled at the armoured titan., "Huh? So you belong to the angry type that only bark but don''t bite...Haha," The armoured titan which was 10 meters looked at the ghost fox which looked very small and mocked it before it startedughing. ''Snore'' However, to the armoured titan''s surprise, the ghost fox didn''t attack him; instead, it rxed on the ground and started sleeping while letting out the snoring sounds. ''Huh?'' Looking at the small fox, which was not even bothering with him, the armoured titan frowned and within no time, it was sessfully angered. "DIEEE" In general, An armoured titan was one of the higher races and they were respected by everyone; however, when he saw that a small fox, which came to challenge him was not even bothering with him. So, he took out a golden colour sword that matched his golden body armour and shed it at the little fox. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Just when the golden sword was about tond on him, the ghost fox disappeared from its position and appeared on the head of the armoured titan. ''Teleport?'' The armoured titan immediately checked his surroundings to find where that small fox had teleported to; however, he was unable to find it. ''sh'' Before the titan could even find the ghost fox, which was on his own head, the fox released a huge ck cloured transparent de on the armoured titan''s head before jumping in the air. ''Boom'' ''Kacha'' ''Thud'' As soon as the huge transparent de touched the armoured titan''s head, a loud explosion happened and the crown on it broke into pieces along with the titan himself falling to the ground. ''How did this happen?'' The armoured titan that fell to the ground looked at the small ghost fox in front of the face and asked himself in his head. The small ck fox was very small whenpared to the huge armoured titan. Adding to the fact that stealth was the specialty of the ghost fox, the armoured titan failed to locate it even though the fox was standing on his head. "What the hell?" Ajax, who was watching the fight with his full attention because of the armoured titan, was shocked to see that his ghost fox used only two attacks and the armoured titan fell to the ground. ''Looks like I am dreaming,'' ''Aargh'' With that thought in his mind, he pinched himself and started shouting in pain. ''Damn...it is really real,'' Rubbing the area where he pitched himself, he looked at the holographic screen in front of him and focused on the armoured titan. ''Ding, Hall Guardian:- Armoured titan Strength:- Elite titanmander Soon, the strength of the armoured titan appeared in front of Ajax which made him raise his brows. ''Even though the titan is only an elitemander, it should be stronger than other races, right?'' Like human cultivators, the cultivation realms of the titans were also ssified into the same realm; however, they use the word titan to differentiate their cultivation realms from others. Moreover, an elite titanmander was always more powerful than an elite humanmander or a rank 4 spirit beast like the ghost fox. So, Ajax felt there was something wrong with the battle and looked for something that might give him a clue about what had happened in the hall. ''There is nothing much to observe as the ghost only used two attacks from the beginning to the end,'' However, Ajax was unable to find any clue about what happened in the battle tower. Although he believes that the ghost fox was strong, it was not to the point that it could knock down an armoured titan with a single attack. So, he felt a little sceptical about it. ''System, what move Ghost has used earlier to knock down the armoured titan?'' Since he was unable to find anything wrong with the battle, he asked the system to show about the attack that the ghost fox had used earlier. ''Ding, 1000 units of the essence of nature to know about it. However, the system started showing its true nature to extort more essence of nature from Ajax. "Until now I thought something had happened to you for not asking me any units of the essence of nature. Finally, I can rx now," Ajax jokingly replied to the system when he saw the system notification which was asking him to pay 1000 units of the essence of nature. As usual, the system didn''t give any reply to him which made Ajax shook his head before saying, ''Why don''t give me what happened to the armoured titan in the battle tower, I will give you additional 1000 units of the essence of nature.'' Since he was going to pay for knowing the skill of his own spirit beasts, he added another information to the trade with an extra 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, 3000 units of the essence of nature and you can have both the information. Soon, the system gave the reply which made Ajax nodded his head in agreement with the deal and said, ''Sure'' ''Ding, 3000 units of the essence of nature are deducted from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host''s ghost fox used a skill called ''Phantom sh''. ''Ding, Skill name:- Phantom sh Effect:- A very sharp sh that can prate anything of the same cultivation of the user. Description:- When used a transparent ck-coloured de is released from the body of the ghost fox. A skill-specific to ghost-type races. Just as he agreed to the system'' deal, he received a series of system notifications which informed him from the deduction of his essence of nature to the information of the skill used by the ghost fox to knock down the Armoured Titan. ''Good. What about another thing in our deal?'' Ajax curiously looked into the thin air and waited for the next system notification. Chapter 569 - New Revelation on the Battle Tower

Chapter 569 - New Revtion on the Battle Tower

Since he had given 3000 units of the essence of nature to the system to know about two things, he waited for the system to send the notification. ''Ding, Armoured Titans'' weakness lies on the centre of their heads which is guarded by their crown; however, the host''s ghost fox attacked the centre of the head in close proximity with a strong skill that can ignore all the defences from the crown. ''Ding, So, the armoured titan fell to the ground. He didn''t wait for much time before a couple of system notifications appeared in front of him. "Their weakness is the centre of their heads?" Ajax was shocked with the new information he got about the armoured titan and wondered, ''How did Ghost know about its weakness?'' Since the ghost fox was calm from the beginning to end, Ajax assumed that the ghost fox knew about the weakness and that was the reason for its calmness in the battle tower. "Let''s see," Nevertheless, he stopped thinking about it and focused on the holographic screen in front of him as he watched what was going on in the battle tower. "Damn you, cunning fox. I?will take care of you once youe to the second level of the battle tower," The Armoured titan that was knocked down onto the ground didn''t die instantly as he gave some serious warning to the ghost fox in front of his face. ''Snore'' However, the ghost fox once again fell asleep and intentionally snored as though it was listening to some non-sense. "Youu" The Armoured titan''s anger increased to a high-level; however, he was not in a position to attack the ghost fox which was mocking him with its action, because his body had started disappearing. "I will remember you, the first hall you will challenge in the secondyer of the battle tower will be my own hall," There were thest words of the armoured titan before disappearing from the hall. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast for sessfully clearing the ''Armoured Titan''s Hall'' in a single attack. ''Ding, Gained a special reward that is specific to the ghost fox. Soon, a couple of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax as he revealed a small smile. There was no surprise or shock when he saw the second system notification because he was ustomed to those types of notifications. ''So, clearing the halls in a single attack will give a special reward for everyone,'' After receiving three special rewards back to back from the battle tower, Ajax got another revtion about the battle tower., "Also, what do hisst words mean?" "Is he saying that his true body is in the secondyer of the battle tower?" "Does that mean other hall guardians must also have their own halls in the secondyer of the?battle tower, right?" Thinking back to thest words of the Armoured titan gave Ajax a ton of questions about the battle tower. ''Ding, Host, with time, you will learn everything about the system and the battle tower. So, please focus on the present and increase your strength as much as possible. Amidst his ton of questions, Ajax received a system notification, which said its usual words of increasing the strength first. ''Although I hate it when the system keeps me in dark regarding these things, what it said has some truth to it,'' Ajax silently thought in his head before looking at the battle tower''s projection in front of him. ''Ding, Do you want your contracted spirit beast to challenge another hall? As usual, the system asked him whether to continue or terminate the next challenge of his ghost fox. "Go ahead and let it challenge as many halls as possible," Since he had greatly underestimated the power of his ghost fox, Ajax wanted to see its true power as gave permission to challenge other halls. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he allowed the ghost fox to challenge the other halls, the small ghost fox disappeared from its ce and appeared in front of a medium-size hall door. ''Creak'' ''Tap'' ''Tap'' Just like earlier, the ghost fox opened the hall door without touching the door and hopped into the hall. ''Should I be happy about its calmness or sad for its overconfidence?'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he felt that his ghost fox was acting over-confident. ''Let his taste a defeat. I hope it will take the battle tower with some seriousness,'' Even though the battle tower was just to practice and improve their battle strength, Ajax wanted his summons to fight with some seriousness; otherwise, there was no point in fighting in the battle tower. So, he thought it''s better for the ghost fox to taste the defeat. Inside the battle tower, ''Hehe'' As soon as the ghost fox entered the new hall, he heard an eerie smile which made him stop in his tracks for a moment before continuing to hop once again. ''Whoosh'' ''sh'' All of a sudden, a ck shadow appeared in front of the ghost fox and waved a long scythe at it. ''Swosh'' Just like before, the ghost fox used to teleport to disappear from his ce and appeared a couple of steps back. ''Hehe...not bad not bad,'' ''Swoosh'' When the silhouette saw that the ghost fox dodge its scythe with ease, it spoke in an eerie voice; however, as soon as he finished his words, he disappeared from his ces and appeared behind the ghost fox just like how the ghost fox teleported earlier. ''sh'' ''Disappear'' Once again the same set of attacks repeated and the ghost dodged the iing sh and appeared in the air and elegantly stood on the scythe with a pose. ''You...are interesting,'' Looking at the ghost fox''s elegant pose on its scythe, the shadow figure replied to the ghost fox. ''But...you can win against me by continuously dodging my attacks,'' ''Swosh'' Before he could finish his words, another scythe appeared out of thin air and shed at the ghost fox. Chapter 570 - Masked Reaper

Chapter 570 - Masked Reaper

Outside the battle tower, "What is that?" Ajax was watching the battle in the battle tower on his holographic screen and when he looked at the silhouette that the ghost fox was fighting, he raised his brows as he didn''t recognize which race the hall guardian belonged to. The hall guardian waspletely surrounded by a cloud of ck smoke and with a long scythe in his hands. ''System, who is that hall guardian?'' Ajax knew that for this information, the system would not ask him to pay his essence of nature. So, he confidently asked the system while watching the fight. ''Ding, Hall guardian:- Masked Reaper Strength:- Elitemander realm Information:- A masked reaper is one of the powerful races; however, there are only a few masked reapers as their reproduction is very weak. ''Huh? Never heard of this race,'' Looking at the information of the holographic screen, Ajax nodded his head. Even though Elder Boron had told many stories, there was nothing about Masked reaper. So, this was Ajax''s first time hearing or seeing a masked reaper. ''So, they are on equals with the armoured titans?'' There was a pleasant surprise in his eyes because his ghost fox had challenged only 2 halls and both of the hall guardians belonged to the powerful races. ''Is there some pattern why allocating the hall guardians to the participants? Anyway, let''s see whether Ghost can win against another high-level race being,'' Ajax excitedly looked at the battle in the battle tower. Inside the battle tower, Despite beingpletely dominated by the masked reaper, the ghost fox still had a calm look on its face as it continued to dodge the long scythe. "You are better than I expected. But let''s see whether you can survive the next attack," With each passing second, an additional long scythe appeared out of nowhere and attacked the ghost fox; however, it was able to dodge each and every long scythe without much difficulty. So, the masked reaper praised the ghost fox before stopping in his tracks all of a sudden. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the ck smoke that was surrounding him started disappearing and his true form appeared to the ghost fox and Ajax, who was watching from his room. ''p p'' With a hideous mask and covered in ck robes with a height tht was over 1.5 meters, the masked reaper started pping a dozen times. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' With each p, a long scythe appeared in front of him. Adding to the earlier long scythes, there were a total of 30 long scythes which were aimed at the ghost fox and they were ready to hack the ghost fox into many pieces. ''If you survive this attack, I will ept my defeat,'' As soon as he finished his words, all the 30 long scythes rushed at the ghost fox. ''sh'' ''sh'' After hearing the masked reaper''s words, the ghost fox became serious and didn''t even bother to dodge the 30 iing long scythes and released more than 5 ck transparent des from its body. ''ng'' ''nk'', ''Kacha'' All the long scythes that were around its body were blocked by its five ''Phantom sh''. Moreover, the phantom shes were so powerful that they even broke more than half of the iing long scythes. ''Teleport'' ''w'' However, the ghost fox didn''t stop there and without wasting any time, it used its ''Teleport'' to disappear from its ce and appeared in front of the masked reaper before using its another skill ''Shadow w'' at him. ''ng'' "Hehe¡­very good," However, the masked reaper stopped the huge shadow w with ease as he continued to praise the ghost fox for its speedy and powerful attacks. "Since I gave you my word, I will ept my defeat," the masked reaper sent the ghost fox into the air before continuing, "I will be waiting for you in the secondyer. I hope you won''t disappoint me when we fight in the future." As soon as he finished his words, the masked reaper disappeared from the hall. ''Thud'' ''Growl'' The ghost fox which was thrown away by the masked reaper earlier had fallen to the ground; however, it immediately stood up and growled at the ce where the masked reaper had disappeared. ..... ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast for sessfully defeating the hall guardian. Outside the battle tower, Ajax got the system notification in his head. "What? Something like this also happens in the battle tower?" Ajax, who watched the entire fight and was shocked to see that the ghost fox won the fight without defeating the hall guardian. ''Ding, As long as the hall guardian admits the defeat, the challenger gets the clearance for that specific hall. "Oh," Ajax nodded his head after seeing the system notification and at the same time, he thought in his head, ''Maybe, this masked reaper wanted the ghost fox to challenge him once again in the secondyer. So, he gave it an easy win. So, that ghost fox can reach the nextyer in a short time.'' Ajax rubbed his chin as he got another doubt when his earlier thought and asked the system, "System, when will a participant ascend to the next level?" Since both the armoured titan and the masked reaper said something about the secondyer of the battle tower, Ajax wanted to know when a participant could ascend to the next level. ''Ding, Only when any one of the challengers sessfully defeated the five hall guardians, then the answer to your question will be given. "Five? Come on Ghost, you can do it," Since the ghost fox had alreadypleted two challenges and still looked as energetic as when he sent to the battle tower, he hoped that it wouldplete the remaining three halls. ''Ding, Do you want to ¡­.. "Yes, I ept to send it to the next challenge," Before the system could finish its notification, Ajax replied to the system and rxingly looked at the holographic screen. Chapter 571 - Ghost Trap

Chapter 571 - Ghost Trap

''This battle tower is more powerful than I thought,'' While looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Ajax was excited inside his heart thinking about how powerful his summons would be in the future. ''I should use it more and more from now on,'' When the Battle tower was unlocked by the system, he didn''t think much; however, after sending his summons into the battle tower, he understood it was very powerful and wanted to use it to its fullest. ''If Ghost win three more times, I think it will be ascended to the secondyer of the battle tower,'' He was very much looking forward to the next three wins of the ghost fox as he was very confident that the ghost fox would be ascended to the secondyer of the battle tower. Inside the battle tower, As usual, after Ajax agreed to the next challenge, it was teleported to a door which was familiar to Ajax. ''Creak'' Simr to the other halls, the ghost fox entered the hall in a rxing manner. Inside the hall, it waspletely filled with water and there were some t stones floating on the water. ''Monstrous brown lizard'' As soon as he saw the inside environment of the hall, Ajax recognized it because this hall was already challenged by Cerauno and won by him in a single attack. ''Let''s see in how many attacks will Ghost defeat it,'' Ajax wanted topare who was the strongest one between Cerauno and the ghost fox and curiously watched the fight. ''Roar'' Just likest time, the monstrous brown lizard was crawling on the ceiling and looked at the ghost fox with saliva dripping from its mouth. ''Swosh'' All of a sudden, the crawling brown lizard on the ceiling of the hall stopped in its tracks. ''Ssh'' After two minutes, the brown lizard fell into the water with a ssh. ''Rumble'' As soon as the brown lizard fell into the water, the hall becamepletely silent. Outside the battle tower, ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast for sessfully defeating the ''Monstrous Brwon Lizard''. ''Ding, Since the spirit beast already received a special reward in its first challenge, there will be no additional rewards for it. ''Ding, Do you want your contracted spirit beast to proceed to another hall? As Ajax was still watching the holographic screen, he received a series of system notifications which made me surprised. ''Is it over already?'' Earlier, Cerauno waited till the brown lizard jumped at him; however, the ghost fox didn''t even move from its position and even the brown lizard also didn''t move for a while before falling into the water. To put it in more simple words, Ajax didn''t even know what had happened in the hall but from the system notifications in his head, he was clear that the ghost fox hadpleted this hall. ''System, before that, what just happened in the battle tower?'' He wanted to know what kind of skill that his ghost fox had used against the monstrous brown lizard. ''Ding, Pay 1000¡­. ''Just say it already and take the required essence of nature,'' At this moment, he was not worried about the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness and all he wanted to know was what was the skill that his ghost fox had used to kill the brown lizard in a single invisible attack. That''s right! The attack waspletely invisible to Ajax. So, that was the reason he didn''t bother with the system''s extortion. ''Ding, 1000 units of the essence of nature were deducted from the host''s spirit consciousness., ''Ding, The ghost fox has used a special skill ''Ghost trap'' ''Ding, Skill name:- Ghost trap Effects:- The opponents with the weak spirit or less spirit consciousness capacity will be fallen into a hallucination and the moment they die in their hallucination, they will die for real. Skill description:- The skill is very specific to the ghost type beings and this is the basic skill which has various evolution routes. As soon as he gave permission to the system to take his essence of nature, he received another series of system notifications and what piqued his interest was, of course, thest system notification. ''Ghost trap? And this skill even evolves?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised with the third system notification as he read the effects of the ''Ghost trap'' a couple of times. ''As long as the ghost fox''s spirit consciousness is strong, then no one will be its match,'' Soon, Ajax got an idea to focus on the ghost fox''s spirit consciousness and increase it to as high as possible. "Anyway, it''s time for another hall," Ajax gave permission to the system to teleport the ghost fox to another hall which was also a familiar one for Ajax. ''Magical hall?'' From the look of the hall door, Ajax could say it was the magical hall which was guarded by the 10000 fire trolls and when the participant kills all the 10000 fire trolls, the hall''s wall would copse for around 5 minutes. ''Only if the participant can still surviving after the wall copse, it is considered as a win for the participant,'' Ajax recalled about the magical hall which was sessfullypleted by the destructive twilight dragon. ''It is a little difficult for Ghost; however, since he still has a calm look on his face, I hope he will sessfully clear this hall and reach one step closer to the ascend to the secondyer,'' For some reason, the ghost fox''s behaviour had changed aftering back from the five elemental world and it always maintained the calm look on his face. ''Swoosh'' As soon as a new challenger entered into their hall, all the fire trolls that were lurking on the surface became serious and surrounded the ghost fox. Within no time, the ghost fox was surrounded by around 1000 fire trolls; however, they didn''t attack the ghost fox and carefully observed it. ''Wow-wow-wow'' Chapter 572 - Ghosts fifth challenge

Chapter 572 - Ghost''s fifth challenge

Looking at the fire trolls that surrounded the ghost fox, Ajax didn''te to any conclusion as he waited for the ghost fox to pull something out of the critical predicament it was in. ''However, using teleport in this hall is not a good thing. Let''s see what new skill it will use now,'' Unlike other halls in the battle tower, this hall is fully packed with the fire trolls. So, no matter where the ghost fox was teleported to, it would definitely take a hit from the fire trolls. So, Ajax thought it was not a suitable skill to use in this hall. Inside the battle tower, ''Wow-wow-wow'' The ghost fox continued to shout without bothering about the fire troll. ''Kill'' ''Kill'' ''Kill'' When they heard the fox''s shouts, all the fire trolls roared at the ghost fox with the word ''Kill'' before rushing towards it. ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' However, before the fire trolls even reached the ghost fox, it stopped making noises and sat on the ground without any fear. As soon as it sat, five huge ck coloured foxes appeared out of thin air and started killing the fire trolls. ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Each huge fox summoned by the ghost fox had a strength of rank 4 and was easily able to kill the rank 4 fire trolls who had good attacking power but less defensive power. Since they have weak defence the huge ck foxes kill those fire trolls on a single hit. ''Clear 1000/10000'' The numbers on the wall opposite to the entrance started increasing at a rapid pace; however, whenpared to the dragon''s killing pace, it was still slow. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh. ''Snore'' For the entire time, the ghost fox waszy and didn''t even bother to fight the fire trolls. What''s more, it let out snoring sounds as though it was sleeping in the mostfortable ce. ''Clear 9000/10000'' The number on the wall reached 9000 and still 1000 more to kill before the walls started copsing in the hall. ''Growl'' All of a sudden, the ghost fox woke up from its sleep and let out a growl before releasing a series of phantom shes to its surroundings. ''Rumble'' After thest phantom sh disappeared in the hall, the number on the wall reached 10000 and as soon as the target reached, the walls started copsing at an incredible speed. ''Teleport'' ''Phantom sh'' ''Teleport'' ''Shadow w'' . . . . ¡­ The ghost fox dodged the copsing walls in an elegant manner while using its skills as fluently as possible. Within no time, the rumbling walls stopped copsing and the hall became silent all of a sudden. ... Outside the battle tower, ''Ding, The host''s spirit beast¡­.. ''Ding, No special reward¡­.. ''Ding, Do you give permission¡­. As usual, a series of system notifications came to Ajax''s head. "Those summoned ck foxes are very powerful," Looking at the ck foxes which were disappearing one by one, Ajax muttered to himself in a low voice. He already knew about the ghost fox''s summoning skill. So, he didn''t bother to spend 1000 units of the essence of nature to know about it. ''Next'' Moreover, he didn''t bother to waste any more time with the fifth challenge of the battle tower for the ghost fox and sent the ghost fox for its next challenge. "Huh? Another familiar hall?" As soon as he gave permission for the next challenge, the three-eyed ghost fox was teleported to the next hall door, which Ajax recognized with a nce. "Horned Nether Hog" That''s right! Looking at the huge brown coloured door, Ajax muttered to himself and at the same time, he felt, ''This should be easy for Ghost, right?'' Theher hog only had one powerful skill which could summon tens of thousands of the rank 3 and rank 4her hogs; however, after seeing the previous four battles of his ghost fox, Ajax was pretty much confident with the win. The thing he was curious about the battle was in how many moves his ghost fox would win against the hornedher hog. ''Creak'' The ghost fox hopped into the hall with its light steps. ''Growl'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' As soon as the ghost fox entered into the hall, the hugeher hog growled a little before rushing at the ghost fox at an incredible speed. ''Hehe...your brute strength can''t win against my Ghost''s escapable skills,'' Looking at the holographic screen, Ajax shook his head at the rushing hornedher hog. ''Phantom sh'' ''Shadow w'' Unexpected to Ajax''s thought, the ghost fox used the phantom sh and slowed down the iingher hog before using shadow w on it. ''Kacha'' ''Roar'' ''roar'' One of the longhorns of the hornedher hog was cut by the shadow w which made the hog so angry that it became mad and started roaring. ''Silence'' All of a sudden, the entire hall became silent. ''Huh? Looks like Ghost is using its ''Ghost trap'','' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to figure out the reason for the sudden silence in the hall as he recalled how the monstrous brown lizard died with that skill., The only thing that could stop the huge hornedher hog to stop roaring was the ''Ghost trap''. So, he connected it to the Ghost trap and carefully observed the holographic screen. ''Roar'' However, after a minute or so, the hornedher hog started roaring once again and focused its gaze on the ghost fox. ''Kaah'' At the same time, the ghost fox coughed a mouthful of blood onto the ground and visibly looked weaker all of a sudden. ''Roar'' Theher hog didn''t waste any time to use its powerful skill to summon its minions with a roar. As soon as it finished its roar, thousands of smallher hogs appeared in the hall which waspletely covered in mud. ''Roar'' Just as it finished its summoning of its minions, the hornedher hog loudly roared as though it was giving amand to kill the weakened ghost fox. Chapter 573 - Complicated battle tower

Chapter 573 - Complicated battle tower

After his ''Ghost trap'' skill failed, the ghost fox became visibly weak. So, the hornedher hog wanted to kill him before the ghost fox could recover his strength. ''Teleport'' ''Wow-wow-wow-wow'' Just when the ghost fox was crushed under the hooves of theher hog, he teleported himself into the air and while he was in the mid-air, he started shouting simr to the way, he shouted in the earlier hall. ¡­.. Outside the battle tower, ''What? His skill failed?'' ''So, there will be a bacsh if the skill is failed,'' Ajax was shocked to see that the ''Ghost trap'' skill failed on the hornedher hog and learned that if the skill failed then the ghost fox would receive a bacsh. ''Maybe, thisher''s hog has high spirit consciousness. As expected of a summoner,'' Soon, he learned the reason for the failed attack on theher hog because every being that was capable of summoning creatures or beasts, they would have high spirit consciousness which was amonly known fact. ''Will he defeat theher hog? If he fails now, I need to wait for a month of its challenge or need to give the system at least 10000 units of the essence of nature. No, he will defeat it,'' After seeing the weak look on the ghost fox''s face, Ajax no longer had his initial confidence on the ghost fox; however, he still stuck to his hope. Moreover, it waspletely surrounded by thousands of the hornedher hogs of rank 3 and rank 4 strengths. ''Phantom sh consumes more essence of nature. So, it is difficult to kill all of them with that attack which leaves him to the only skill that can help him is summoning the huge ck foxes,'' Just as he thought that the ghost fox would use the summoning skill, the ghost fox started its summoning call for the ck foxes. ''That''s it. You can do it,'' Since all five summoned ck foxes had the same strength of the ghost fox, Ajax believed it would give the ghost fox sometime to recover its essence of nature. ''Huh? Why are the ck foxes so small?'' However, he noticed that the summoned ck foxes were not as huge as the ones that the ghost fox had summoned earlier and raised his brows. ''Oh...Haha'' Nevertheless, all his worries disappeared as soon as he saw what was happening around the ghost fox and startedughing. ''No wondered, the ck foxes are so smallpared to the earlier ones as it summoned around 1000 ck foxes with strengths varying from peak level rank 3 to low-level rank 4,'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt relieved as he rxed on his back against the bed and continued to watch the battle through the holographic screen. Inside the battle tower, ''Wow-wow-wow-wow'' The ghost fox continued to call his summons and with each passing second a new ck fox was popping up on the ground. ''Thud'', ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Soon, the thousand ck foxes started fighting the thousandher hogs. As for the ghost fox and the hornedher hogs, both of them looked at each other but didn''t fight as though they wanted to prove something to each other. The fight between the minions from both sides continued for some time before a couple of ck foxes remained among the thousand ck foxes with serious injuries on them. On the other side, all the hornedher hogs were killed. ''Roar'' The main hornedher hog roared at the ghost fox as though it was saying something before disappearing from the hall. ''Thud'' As soon as theher hog disappeared from the hall, the ghost fox fell to the ground and all the minions in the hall also disappeared. ... Outside the battle tower, ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s spirit beast¡­.. ''Ding, The ghost fox cleared the hall by the acknowledgement of the hall guardian, Hornedher hog. ''Ding, The ghost fox gained a special item left by the hornedher hog (Can only be used by the ghost fox) ''Ding, Do you want to give permission for the next hall challenge? As soon as the ghost fox in the battle tower fell down onto the ground, Ajax got a series of system notifications to his head; however, he didn''t check them because he was still in a daze for what had happened in the hall. ''This battle tower is so difficult to understand,'' This was the thought in his mind about the battle towers because he was still unable to understand about the clearance of the halls. ''Volcanis killed the huge hornedher hog with his powerful attacks but didn''t get any reward; however, the ghost fox''s minions killed theher hog''s minions and got a special reward. Maybe I should think carefully while clearing the halls to get special rewards'' Ajax decided to think carefully when he cleared the halls in the battle tower. ''No need. He is already tired. Send him back to the inner world,'' Since the target, he wanted for the ghost fox toplete had sessfullypleted. Moreover, the ghost fox was in no position to continue fighting. So, he decided to send him to the inner world to take some rest before he sent him into the battle tower after the ghost fox recovered from its injuries. If a challenger willinglyes out of the battle tower after sessfully clearing a hall, they could enter it whenever they want. So, Ajax didn''t waste any time to send it back into the inner world. ''He sessfully cleared the five halls in the battle tower. So, why is the system asking me permission for the next hall? Shouldn''t it ask me the permission for the secondyer of the battle tower?'' After sending the ghost fox to his inner world, he once again checked the series of system notifications and he got a doubt regarding the secondyer of the battle tower. ''System, now it''s time for you to answer my earlier question,'' Chapter 574 - Dragon Blessing

Chapter 574 - Dragon Blessing

Nevertheless, he suppressed his doubts for a while before asking the system about his earlier question. When he asked the system about how many halls a challenger needed to finish in order to ascend to the secondyer of the battle tower, the system replied to ask him the same question after any one of the challengers cleared the five halls. Since the ghost fox cleared the five halls of the battle tower, Ajax didn''t waste any time in asking the question. ''Ding, One of the challengers cleared the five halls. ''Ding, A challenger needs to finish a minimum of 10 halls to clear before they will be teleported to the secondyer of the battle tower. As soon as he asked the system, the system checked for confirmation before giving him a very simple answer. "Huh? So, it is 10," Ajax was not surprised much because when the system asked the permission for the ghost fox''s next hall challenge, he assumed that a challenger needs to clear 10?halls in the firstyer of the battle tower. "By the way, how manyyers are there in the battle tower and how many halls are in eachyer?" Since the system answered one question, Ajax decided to try his luck; however, he didn''t expect any reply from the system. ''Ding, At the moment, there are 15 halls in the firstyer of the battle tower and more halls will be increased by unlocking moreyers of the battle tower. ''Ding, As for how manyyers are there in the battle tower, it should be left for the host to find out. To his surprise, the system answered one of his questions and he didn''t even bother with the second system notification because he was happy with one answer from the system. "Haha...System, did I ever say ''I like you'' to you?" Ajax jokingly asked the system with a smallugh. ''Ding, I remember the host saying ''I hate you'' many times. In the system notification, Ajax could sense a mock and shook his head. ''Since all the participants in the queuepleted their challenges, I can go enter the battle tower now, right?'', Ajax was excited to enter the battle tower for the first time. ''Ding, Yes, The system replied with a ''Yes''; however, Ajax had something on his mind. ''Before I enter the battle tower, let me check all?the rewards my summons gained in the battle tower,'' With that thought in his mind, he closed his eyes and entered his inner world in the spirit consciousness form. ''Let''s start with Bane,'' Although Bane didn''t receive any rewards from the battle tower, he awakened in a new skill in the poison type hall. So, he decided to check that skill. Soon, he moved towards the poison elemental paradise in which Bane was in deep seclusion. ''Looks like he is very serious about the re-match with the three-headed poison hydra,'' Looking at the seriously cultivating poison elemental spirit, Ajax thought in his head before asking the system, ''Show about his new skill.'' He didn''t want to disturb Bane from his serious cultivation. So, from a certain distance, he asked the system about Bane''s new skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Poison recovery Effect:- As long as a poison elemental spirit stays in the poison element environment, it can recover its lost essence of nature. Note:- If it is killed in a single attack, then there is no use of this skill. Soon, the system sent the notification regarding the skill which made Ajax nod his head. ''With a variety of elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, I can dominate any type of battle against any time of spirit beast,'' The reason he was very careful about every single summons'' skill was because he wanted topletely understand his summons so that in the future, he could win the fights with ease if he used the elemental advantage and skills. "As long as there is a poison elemental environment, Bane will take care of any number of opponents and any type of spirit beast," After muttering to himself, he moved away from the poison elemental paradise and walked towards the dark-elemental paradise. ''Uzz zz'' In front of the dark elemental paradise, a huge dragon was sleeping while letting out loud breaths from time to time. ''Sigh...why is it sozy?'' Ajax shook its head and silently asked the system, ''System, what is its reward from the battle tower?'' After the destructive dragon cleared the magical hall, it received a special reward from the battle tower. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Skill name:- Dragon Blessing (Level 1) Effects:- Can bless someone whose attack power will be permanently increased by 1 percent. Description:- Amon type of skill for high-level dragons. Note:- Can be used only once in a year. "Huh? Increases the attack power? Permanently?" Ajax was shocked by the word ''Permanently'' as he rubbed his eyes to check whether he was seeing it right or wrong. ''It''s good...very good,'' Ajax startedughing once he confirmed it was real and thought in his head, ''Even though it is only a single percent increase, it is permanent. So, it is very good.'' Ajax didn''t bother about the 1 percent in the system notification because he was thinking something beyond. ''1 percent increase of a king realm cultivator''s attack power is enough to make the assassin sect fear,'' This was his thought and he decided to use that blessing once he became powerful. ''There is still time for me to be a general realm cultivator much less a king realm cultivator. So, unless I didn''t have any chance, I will make Twilight use that skill on me,'' Since he was not in an urgent need of power, he decided to wait until he went against the assassin sect before using the ''Dragon blessing'' skill on him. ''However, I think, it will not take very long for me to reach the elite general realm, then I will see who will save that assassin sect from me,'' Ajax revealed a cruel smile on his face as he thought about his revenge. Chapter 575 - Exclusive Skip

Chapter 575 - Exclusive Skip

ording to his calctions, once he reaches the level 1 of the elite general realm, his elemental spirits would reach peak level elite general realm whereas most of his contracted spirit beasts would also reach peak rank 6. ''I know it is not enough to go against the assassin sect face to face; however, that doesn''t mean I can not take a few trips to toy with them,'' Whenever he was free, he would think of how to take down the assassin sect. So, by now, he had thought of many methods; however, he was just waiting for his cultivation to reach the elite general realm. However, he still didn''t know that the massacre started in the Silver Orphanage was for him. As for how he would react after finding out the truth about the matters only time would reveal.?, ''Once I reach the elite general realm, I have many ways to slowly destroy the assassin sect,'' Ajax silently thought in his head before looking at Cerauno, who was immersed in the lighting pool as he cultivator. ''So, that is the lightningprehension orb he received from the battle tower,'' Above Cerauno''s head, there was a shining white coloured orb hovering. From time to time, a bolt of lightning entered his head. So, when he saw that, Ajax directly assumed it was the lightning orb. ''Next is our ''star of the day'', the three-eyed ghost fox,'' He didn''t disturb Cerauno before moving into the dark elemental paradise in order to check the rewards of the ghost fox from the battle tower. Since the twilight destructive dragon''s body is very huge, it had to sleep outside the dark elemental paradise. So, to see the ghost fox, Ajax had to enter the dark elemental paradise. Inside the dark-elemental paradise, Ajax saw many of his dark element summons which were seriously cultivating. So, without disturbing them, he went to the ghost fox, which was peacefully sleeping after five sessful challenges in the battle tower. ''System, what did my Ghost receive in the battle tower?'' To check either the skill or the rewards received by his summons, Ajax should have his specific summon in his sight. So, that''s the reason, he was taking all the trouble of checking the skills and other rewards received by his summons by personally going to each one of them. ''Ding, The ghost fox received two rewards from the battle towers. One is a special item left behind by the hornedher hog and the other one is one of the special benefits of the battle tower. ''Huh?'' Looking at the system notification in front of him, Ajax raised his brows and at the same time, he felt both excited and curious about the two rewards. However, he waited for the system to send some more system notifications regarding those two rewards. ''Ding, The reward for clearing the first hall in a single attack is ''Exclusive skip''. ''Ding, Tower reward:- Exclusive skip (Level 1). Effect:- After using it, the hall clearance in the firstyer of the battle tower will be increased by 1. Description:- As long as the challenger wants to skip a hall in the firstyer, it will be aplished with this Exclusive skip. Note:- Specific to the challenge who received it from the battle tower. As Ajax expected, a series of system notifications came to his head exining about the first battle tower reward of the ghost fox. ''So, does that mean, ghost fox only needs another 4 halls to clear, right?'' Ajax was excited after he carefully read about the effect of the ''Exclusive skip'' on the holographic screen and muttered to himself. ''Ding, Yes. It is non-transferable and can''t be used in otheryers of the battle tower. So, better use it in the firstyer. "You are very generous, system," Ajax actually didn''t ask the system about that; however, the system gave a reply which made Ajax think that the system was a little generous today. "Anyway, show the other reward," Ajax didn''t ponder about it much before asking about the second rewards of the ghost fox. ''Ding, Item name:- Hornedher hog''s blood essence. Effect:- 5 percent increase in battle prowess of all the summons. Description:- A concentrated blood essence of a rank 4 hornedher hog. When consumed it will increase the battle prowess of the beings summoned by the consumer. ''Blood essence? 5 percent increase in battle prowess of the summons?'' Ajax was shocked to see such a reward which was left behind by the hornedher hog. Just like the ''Dragon Blessing'' skill, the increment in the battle prowess with this item was less; however, Ajax was satisfied because even a single percent of increment in the battle prowess was crucial to him. "Looks like only summoners can get that item if sufficient conditions are met," Ajax started thinking about the hall which was guarded by the hornedher hog before hoping, ''I hope, I can get this item too from the battle tower. Then it will have a huge improvement in my strength.'' Since the item was a great treasure to a summoner, Ajax''s desire over it was not umon because, with the five percent increment in the battle prowess of his summons, his goal of taking revenge on the assassin sect would be one step closer. "The rewards from the firstyers of the battle tower is already this good, I wonder, the rewards from the secondyer will be even better," Soon, Ajax became excited about the secondyer of the battle tower. ''Moreover, it will be very interesting with the powerful hall guardians who might have a minimum of rank 5 or general realm cultivation,'' Not only rewards, but he was also excited for the powerful guardians who were from powerful races. "Anyway, it''s time for me to challenge the battle tower. I hope I can get as many rewards as possible and my target is at least 6 halls," Ajax muttered to himself in a low voice beforeing out of his spirit consciousness form and entered the battle tower for the first time. Chapter 576 - True Monstruous Brown Lizard

Chapter 576 - True Monstruous Brown Lizard

Since one of his summons had cleared five halls in the firstyer of the battle tower, Ajax set clearing 6 halls as his target before looking at the moon through his room''s window. ''It''s already became dark,'' From the morning, he waspletely focused on the battles in the battle tower. So, he could not keep track of time. Nevertheless, he was not hungry or didn''t have other ns except for entering the battle tower. ''System, I want to enter the battle tower,'' Soon, Ajax rxed in hisfortable bed before asking the system to send him into the battle tower. ''Ding, Sending the host''s spirit consciousness form into the battle tower. Within no time, Ajax''s consciousness blurred as he felt his eyes be heavy and slowly fell asleep. ***** Inside the battle tower, ''Swoosh'' In front of a familiar door, Ajax appeared in his spirit consciousness form. ''Huh? I feel like this is my true body,'' As soon as he entered the battle tower, his first thought was about his body. He felt it was his original body and not a spirit consciousness form. However, he knew that it was not his true body because his true body was still outside the battle tower and it was protected by the battle tower''s special protection. "So, my first challenge is ''Monstrous brown lizard''. Excellent," Ajax nodded his head as he walked towards the door and opened it. ''I should watch my step,'' After entering the hall, Ajax jokingly said while jumping from one floating t stone to another. ''I know you will be up there crawling, but I have something else to find about this hall,'' Ajax didn''t even bother to nce at the ceiling even when he knew that the hall guardian would be above his head. It was because he wanted to find the true meaning of every hall in the battle tower and clear then ording to that meaning. ''There has to be something in the water,'' Although he was notpletely sure about his thought, at least he wanted to give it a try before killing the monstrous brown lizard. ''Roar'' While he was in his thoughts, the brown lizard jumped at him. ''Why are you so eager to die? But I will not kill you yet,'' Among all the hall guardians he had seen so far, this monstrous brown lizard was the weakest one which died in a single attack by Cerauno and the ghost fox. Moreover, he thought that the brown lizard was just so eager to die for a reason. So, he decided not to kill it. ''Ssh'' As soon as he decided not to kill it, he jumped into the water in the next second. ''Thud'' ''Roar'' However, the brown lizardnded on the t stone that Ajax was standing a second ago and started roaring at the water. Huh? Why is it not jumping into the water?'' Looking at the gills on both sides of the brown lizard''s body, Ajax wondered why it was not jumping into the water. ''Anyway, let me search what is inside the water,'' Soon, Ajax started searching about something underwater hoping to find something worthwhile. ''The water is very clean and everything is very clear here,'' Ajax felt something was wrong with the peaceful environment in the water. ''Looks like I wasted an hour for nothing. Anyway, I will go up and kill that lizard to clear this weak hall,'' Even after searching for an hour, Ajax didn''t find anything which made him give up and he decided to clear the hall. Note:- Don''t forget he has the title ''Water Elementalist'' which helped him to breath freely in the water., ''Swoosh'' Just as he was dejectedly swimming to the surface, something caught his eyes. ''What is it?'' All of a sudden, he stopped swimming and carefully looking in the direction where he saw a silhouette. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was carefully observing for a silhouette in the water, he saw a small fish swimming at him at an extreme speed. ''Huh? What is it?'' It waspletely in brown colour and only when it was close to him he clearly saw its appearance. Although he didn''t know what it was, he was sure that it was no fish. ''Is it the true brown monstrous lizard?'' All of a sudden, he was shocked at his thought and immediately became alert. ''Absolute darkness'' He didn''t waste any time because he felt a bad premonition from that small creature. So, he used one of his powerful skills to kill it. ''Ding, Congrattions on killing the true monstrous brown lizard. ''Ding, A special reward will be given for killing it as soon as the host left the battle tower. ''Ding, Kill the other monstrous brown lizard to clear the hall. ''What the hell! Did it die in a single attack? Moreover, I got a special reward,'' Hearing the series of system notifications in his head, Ajax was bbergasted and he still could not believe he got a special reward from the hall. ''Haha'' Soon, he startedughing at his luck and moved towards the dead body of the creature, he just killed. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could reach there, the dead body of that creature started disappearing into tiny dots. "Whatever, I alreadypleted my mission in this hall," He didn''t bother about it much before swimming to the surface to clear the hall. ''Ssh'' However, before he could reach to the surface, the brown lizard jumped into the water with its mouth wide open. ''Oh no, shit,'' Ajax was in a very difficult position to dodge the attack because he didn''t expect the brown lizard to jump into the water. However that''s not the most important thing, it caught his right hand in its mouth and at the same time, it injected something into his hand that made him unable to use any of his skills. ''Aargh'' ''Damn it, it''s so painful,'' He felt a great deal of pain that made his groan in pain. Chapter 577 - Sacrificing right hand

Chapter 577 - Sacrificing right hand

''I should have guessed its reason for not jumping into the water already,'' All of a sudden, Ajax understood why it didn''t jump into the water earlier but jumped now. ''I should not give up yet,'' Even though he knew he would not really die if he got killed in the battle tower, he didn''t want to get killed in his first hall. ''Hmm...this might work but I have to endure the?pain,'' After a couple of seconds, he got an idea which he thought would help him escape from the teeth of the monstrous brown lizard. ''Aargh'' ''Kacha'' ''Aarghh'' With a loud shout, he pulled himself back which made his right hand separate from his body; however, after that, he had to endure a great deal of pain which made shouted in pain even more. ''Hh..hu..hu'' As soon as he separated from his hand, Ajax quickly swam towards a t floating stone and jumped onto it. ''Phew...finally, I can use my essence of nature and there is no strain in my body movements,'' After standing on the t floating stone, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he could finally use his essence of nature and at the same time, his body movements became free once again. ''Roar'' ''Crunch'' ''Gulp'' As for the monstrous brown lizard, he enjoyed eating Ajax''s right hand making him angry. ''Damn you Lizard,'' With the munching scene in front of him, Ajax cursed the brown lizard and at the same time, his body released a terrifying aura. "I wanted to kill you in a single attack, but I have changed my mind," Ajax looked at the lizard in the water as he silently thought in his head ''Absolute darkness'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, a ck wave came out of his body and entered into the brown lizard''s body at an incredible speed which was impossible for it to dodge. ''Roar'' ''Roarr'' Soon, pained roars resounded in the hall that could make anyone shiver and terrify them. ''Even though it will not kill you anytime soon, it will make you wish for it,'' Ajax only used half of the true power for his skill ''Absolute darkness'' because he didn''t want to kill it in a single attack. ''Ding, You are just wasting your time and making your next challenge in the secondyer of the battle tower even more difficult with your actions. ''What?'' All of a sudden, a system notification appeared in front of him that made him anxious all of a sudden. ''That''s right! How could I forget that?'' ording to the Armoured titan''s words with the ghost fox, Ajax assumed that the same hall guardians would be guarding their respective halls in the secondyer of the battle tower with more much higher cultivation than in the halls of the firstyer. So, he felt like he overdid what he had done in this hall. ''Whatever, the stronger the hall guardian is, the more benefits I get. Isn''t that the actual reason foring into the battle tower?'' However, he soon stopped worrying about the grudges of the brown lizard. ''Looks like you have suffered enough for eating my right hand. Now, die,'' Nevertheless, for some reason, he killed it soon after that. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing the ''Monstrous Brown lizard'' and clearing the first hall. ''Huh?'' Even though he got the system notification informing about clearing the hall, Ajax raised his brows. ''Where is my one-shot kill rewards?'' From what he had learned from his summons'' battle in the battle tower, if a participant kills the hall guardian in a single attack, they would get a special reward. ''Sigh¡­ maybe for losing my right hand in the battle removed the reward,'' Soon, he realized the reason for not getting the special reward as he looked at his missing right hand. ''Ding, Host, do you want to go to the next hall? ''Yes'' Ajax had already decided to continue challenging one hall after another till he dropped dead in the battle tower. So, as soon as he saw the system notification, without any hesitation, he chose ''Yes''. ''Ding, Teleporting the host to the next hall to challenge'' As soon as he chose ''Yes'', his body started disappearing from the current hall to challenge another hall. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he appeared in front of a huge door. ''Huh?'' To his surprise, he was once again familiar with the hall in front of him. ''Magical hall'' He didn''t waste any time before opening the huge red-coloured doors and entering into the magical hall which was guarded by 10000 fire trolls. ''Jaxad ad addf wd'' ''Aew dff fvdd fef'' .. .. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard many whispers which he didn''t hear when his other summons challenged this hall. ''Is that theirnguage?'' Ajax carefully looked at the fire trolls in front of him which were also watching him with the same curiousness. ''I have to find the true way to clear?this hall to get the special reward; however, it looks impossible with 10000 fire trolls guarding me,'' In the earlier, since there was only one hall guardian which was hesitant to enter the water, he was able to find the true hall guardian after searching for an hour; however, this time he felt it was difficult for him to search for with 10000 enemies in front of him. ''Moreover, I became a handicap now,'' Looking at his missing right hand, Ajax bitterly shook his head. ''Tap'' ''Tap'', ''Acve drr dg sd'' ''Sd gfs wrf weu'' While he was in his thoughts, the fire trolls carefully walked towards him while maintaining the whispers which made Ajax go mad. ''Wait'' All of a sudden, Ajax noticed something as he recalled the two challenges of his summons. ''So, these whispers are the reason behind their actions,'' Ajax nodded his head as he continued thinking, ''Anyway, I will try a new trick to clear this magical hall.'' Chapter 578 - Using the legendary item

Chapter 578 - Using the legendary item

Since he wanted to get an extra reward for clearing the halls just like how he did in the earlier hall, he wanted to use something that might help him. ''Nether hog longhorn, let me see what you are capable of,'' ''Ooo'' As soon as he thought of the legendary item he got from the battle tower When volcanis killed the hornedher hog, it appeared in Ajax''s hand and without wasting any time, he started blowing it with all his might. ''Whoosh'' ''Whoosh'' He blew that legendary longhorn for a minute and as soon as he finished that five huge hornedher hogs appeared in front of him. ''Haha...rank 4her hogs. Good,'' This was the first time he was using this legendary item and looking at the powerful-lookingher hogs, Ajax satisfyingly nodded his head as he wanted to see their battle prowess. ''Roar'' ''Thud'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' As soon as they were summoned they didn''t even wait for Ajax''s orders as they hurriedly rushed towards the fire trolls and started killing them. ''What the...'' ''They are much stronger than?expected,'' Ajax didn''t mind their hurried actions; instead, he was surprised by their fast movements despite the face they were very huge. ''Clear 100/ 10000'' In a few seconds, the five hugeher hogs killed 100 fire trolls making Ajax very much satisfied with their battle prowess. ''So what if I can''t summon my elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts? I have another trump card in my sleeve that canpensate for my summons,'' In his spirit consciousness form, he could not summon his elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts which he learned as soon as he entered this magical hall. So, he decided to use theher hog''s longhorn, which was considered as an item and it didn''t have any restrictions just like his inheritance sword and bloodl.u.s.t spear. ''However, it is a weird restriction for a summoner not use his summons to clear the halls,'' Ajax felt it was not fair because, for a summoner, all his strength lies in his summons. So, he shook his head at the rules of the battle tower. ''Hm...the whispers started to tone down and I can feel focused again,'' Soon, he noticed that the whispers from the fire trolls started disappearing and at the same time, he felt he could concentrate a little better now. ''No wonder, Twilight received some much damage from these fire trolls,'', He thought back to the time when Twilight was clearing this magical hall and understood that these whispers made it lose focus and the fire trolls heavily injured the dragon. ''However, Ghost is very clever and directly slept in order not to lose focus by this whispers,'' Unlike the dragon, the ghost fox was very clever and left all the killing to his summons while he slept to escape from the whispers. ''It''s time to search the magical hall,'' With that thought in his mind, he started observing the magical hall from his ce while he was protected by his five ranks 4 hornedher hogs. ''Hm..'' With his ears closed by his hands, he continued to his search for who knows how long when he finally found something. ''It''s is very small and it ispletely overshadowed by the countdown,'' Looking at the progress bar on the wall, Ajax revealed a slight smile before focusing on the progress bar. ''Clear 5456/10000,'' "Huh? Not bad, you cleared half of the fire trolls in this hall," Ajax was pleasantly surprised by the killing efficiency of theher hogs and nodded his head. ''Let me see whether I found the right thing or it''s just a decorative item?'' Even though he felt it was the thing he was searching in this hall, he was notpletely sure. So, he wanted to see what it was actually. With that thought in his mind, he summoned his bloodl.u.s.t spear and rushed forward leaving behind his protective circle. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' Every time, he struck with his spear, a minimum of three fire trolls will be killed and soon he reached the wall on which progress for clearing this magical hall was shown. ''It'' looks like a small flower. I hope it is the thing I am searching for,'' Only after reaching the wall, he could see the small flower growing out of the wall right above his head. ''If not for my keen senses, it is impossible to find it,'' From the distance, he only saw a little portion of the flower which was glistened with bright red-colour. ''Let me pick it and I will know whether it is the thing I am searching for in this hall or not,'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' As soon as that thought came to his mind, Ajax swung his spear behind him and cleared all the fire trolls. ''Swoosh'' ''Finally got it'' Soon, he jumped into the air and picked the small red-coloured flower. ''What the hell! Where did it go?'' However, after he picked the small flower from the wall, it disappeared which made Ajax anxious. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for finding the special item. ''Ding, It will be sent to your inventory and as soon as you go out of the battle tower, you can check it. ''Ding, Only if you clear this hall, the host will get that item. As he was wondering about the small flower, he got a series of system notifications that made him understand something. ''So, this was the item I was searching for...Haha,'' Once he got confirmation from the system, Ajax startedughing as he felt a great relief in his heart. ''But I wonder, what that small flower is? There is no information about it in the alchemy knowledge I gained so far,'' Earlier, before he could check the information of the small flower, it disappeared making him impossible to know about it. "Whatever, let''s finish these annoying whispering fire trolls and move to the next hall," With the bloodl.u.s.t spear in his left hands, he revealed a cruel smile on his face. Chapter 579 - A new hall

Chapter 579 - A new hall

''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' ''Aargh'', Ajax waspletely covered into the hot blood of the fire trolls as he killed one after another fire troll without any rest. ''Just a thousand more fire trolls and I willplete this hall by more than 50 percent,'' From time to time, he would notice the progress on the wall which gave him the motivation to kill more fire trolls with an increased speed. As for why he said clearing this ''Magical hall'' would bepleted by more than 50 percent but not 100 percent. Because he had to survive the crumbling of the walls of the ''Magical hall'' after killing the 10000 fire trolls. ''With my level 3 spear dao, these fire trolls are not a match for me; however, without?using my other skills or trumps cards, it will be not an easy thing to clear this hall,'' Except for the legendary item ''Theher hog longhorn'' and his bloodl.u.s.t spear, he didn''t use any other skills or trump cards because he wanted to stretch his muscles for other halls. ''Anyway, I can''t use my other sword along with the spear as I now only have a single hand,'' The pain from his right hand had long gone; however, his right hand was still missing which made him use only one weapon at a time. ''Clear 10000/10000'' Nevertheless, he was excited to finish the remaining 1000 fire trolls along with the 5 rank 4 huge hornedher hogs. ''Ding, Host, you cleared half of the ''Magical Hall''. For the next half, please survive the next five minutes. As soon as he and the five rank 4her hogspleted the target, Ajax got the system notification informing him about the second half of the ''Magical hall''. ''I already know about that system. You don''t need to worry about that,'' With a smile on his face, Ajax replied to the system before summoning back theher hogs into the longhorn. ''Rumble'' ''Thud'' Just as he put the longhorn back into his inventory, he looked at the copsing walls and revealed a slight smile on his face. ''Cloud steps'' Ajax had already noticed the speed of the copsing walls two times. So, he was confident in dodging those crumbled walls with his level 2 ''Cloud steps''. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' As expected, he didn''t have any difficulty in dodging those crumbled walls. ''Oh no,'' However, it didn''tst much longer before he waspletely surrounded by the falling stones and he didn''t have any other way to escape. ''Nevermind, it''s time to use my other skills,'' He stopped worrying and silently thought in his head, ''Bloodl.u.s.t spear, go.'' Without any hesitation, he used the level 3 spear dao as he threw the bloodl.u.s.t spear at the falling rocks. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' ''Boom'' After throwing the spear, he remained into the same ce as it was the safest ce in the entire hall for a few moments. ''Spatial des, only consume 1000 units,'' Using the 1000 units of the essence of nature, he released the spatial des to his surroundings while securing another minute for him to think of his next action. ''Inheritance sword,'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, he summoned his inheritance sword and started waving it upwards in order to destroy the falling rocks. Every time, he waved his inheritance sword, a 2-meter long sword wave was released from the swing as it destroyed the rocks and stones falling onto him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for clearing the magical hall. The item picked by the host will be sent to the host''s inventory as soon as he left the battle tower. ''Phew...finally, it''s over,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he felt his body waspletely tired after using many skills and attacks. "I got the extra reward but still I didn''t get the single hit kill- reward," Ajax thought about it for a while and finally, he revealed a smile, ''Anyway, they will give the single hit kill-reward for the only time. So, I still have a chance to get that reward.'' ''Ding, Do you want to continue challenging other halls of the battle tower? ''Yes'' As usual, he replied ''Yes'' to the system notification. ''But with my single hand, I need to rely more on my skills rather than weapons. Maybe I should go out after clearing the hall to check the rewards ande back to the battle tower to challenge,'' Since he got two special rewards for clearing the two halls, he wanted to check them and at the same time, going out of the battle tower anding back would give him his right hand. So, he thought of going out after clearing the next hall. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he teleported to the next hall, which was unfamiliar to him. "Finally, a new hall which means a new guardian. Excellent," Ajax was always curious about the new halls. So, when he saw a new hall door in front of him, he was excited and moved towards the huge green coloured door to open it. ''Creak'' ''Maybe this hall is guarded by a life elemental being,'' While entering the hall, Ajax thought in his head because he saw the hall waspletely filled with many trees and small bushes making it look like a small forest. ''Monster peach?'' As soon as he entered the hall, what caught his eyes was none other than a huge green coloured fruit which Ajax was very much familiar with. That''s right! It was a monster peach that could increase the cultivation of a cultivator from level 1 general realm to the level 1 elite general realm. ''So, this is the special item of this hall,'' Just like how he found a small nameless flower in the previous hall, Ajax assumed it was the special item for this hall. ''However, why is it very open and even before I enter the hall, it is clearly visible to me,'' All of a sudden, Ajax stopped walking forward, as he felt a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly jumped backwards. Chapter 580 - Elegant Walker

Chapter 580 - Elegant Walker

''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Zap'' As soon as he jumped backwards a couple of arrows pierced at his earlier position which made him unconsciously sweat. ''Who?'' Without any dy, he looked in the direction from which the arrows came from. "Huh? No one?" However, there was no one in that direction except for a few small nts as though the arrows appeared out of thin air. "Come out," He took out his bloodl.u.s.t spear from his inventory as he walked forward with a serious look on his face. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' Just like earlier, a couple of arrows came from another direction; however, this time, Ajax was careful and was easily able to block them with his bloodl.u.s.t spear. ''Nice reflexes for an elitemander realm cultivator,'' All of a sudden, he heard a melodious voice in the direction from which the arrows came from. ''Huh?'' Ajax saw a beautiful woman donned in a warrior attire with a longbow in her hands and quiver full of arrows on her back. However, on her beautiful face, she had an additional pair of eyes which made Ajax think, ''She is not a human race.'' ''System, what is she?'' He didn''t know which race she belonged to. So, he asked the system about her., ''Ding, Hall guardian''s race:- Elegant walker Strength:- Peak elite Elegantmander realm. "So, you are one of the Elegant walkers who excelled in the proficiency of arrows," As soon as he saw the information about the hall guardian, Ajax revealed a slight smile and at the same time, he raised his guard up. ording to Elder Boron, they were on par with Elves when ites to archery. Moreover, they were not as kind as Elves which made them enemies of other races. "Haha...So, humans still didn''t forget about us," The beautiful women started walking towards Ajax whileughing out loud. "..." Ajax didn''t reply as he tightly held his bloodl.u.s.t spear and waited for the beautiful women toe near him. Because Ajax only heard about them a couple of times from Elder Boron and the fact why he still remembered about them was his secret technique to remember all the knowledge and the other one was Elder Boronpared this Elegant walker with Elves which made an evesting memory in Ajax''s head. "Do you want to know more about our race?" Once the beautiful woman reached Ajax, she asked him a question with contempt on her face. ''Huh? Why can''t I move?'' As soon as the beautiful woman was within his spear''s range, Ajax wanted to kill her; however, he noticed that his body was unable to move from his ce which made him anxious. "Don''t worry. This hall is different from other halls. Since that thing chose you as its master, I want to see what you are capable of," With a mocking tone, the beautiful woman of the Elegant walker race replied to him when she saw the anxious look on Ajax''s face. ''Huh? Does she know about the system?'' His anxiousness turned into a shock when he heard her words and hurriedly asked the system in his head. However, there was no reply from the system as usual which made him shake his head. "Of course," Nevertheless, suppressing all his emotions, he nodded his head at the beautiful woman''s question. "Humans are always curious about other races. So that they can take control over other races," Whenever she used the term ''Human'' there was a disgusted expression on her face. ''Looks like she hates the human race to her very core,'' However, Ajax was not flinched away by her disgust because most of the races hated the human race for their intelligence and simrly the human race also hated other races that were more powerful than them. "Anyway, let''se to the trials of this hall," ''Snap'' The beautiful woman snapped her finger and a wooden bow along with a quiver full of arrows appeared in front of her as she continued speaking, "To clear this hall, you need to finish three trials." "Three trials?" Ajax raised his brows while looking at the bow and quiver which appeared out of thin air as he muttered in a low voice. "Other than giving you a clearance for this hall, I will answer three of your questions regarding my race," The Elegant Walker woman revealed a cunning smile as she continued, "The three trials will be very simple. One, make this simple bow ept you as its master, Two,prehend the dao of archery, Three, Shoot the monster peach, How is it? Simple, right?" The beautiful woman exined the three trials one by one. ''The trials looked simple, but¡­,'' Even though he felt the trials seemed not very hard, Ajax felt something was off about them when he noticed the cunning smile on the hall guardian''s face. "Okay, I will try," Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t worry much about it before nodding his head to ept the trials. "By the way, I forget one thing. You have toplete the trial in three hours," As soon as he nodded his head, the beautiful woman revealed a condition about the three trials. ''Here ites,'' Ajax felt a little better after hearing the time limit because it was not as bad as he thought. "As expected of the cruel Elegant walker," Ajax revealed a mocking smile as he replied to the beautiful women before looking at the bow and quiver and carefully observed them. "You call us, Cruel? You need to grow up, little boy. Among all the races I know, the human race is the cruellest one. Do you even know they were once a great race; however, their greediness made them what they are today...Haha," For some reason, the beautiful woman triggered Ajax''s words as she mocked with augh. "Huh? What did they do? How are we today?" Ajax stopped paying attention to the bow and quiver as he raised his brows and asked her a couple of questions from her earlier words. Chapter 581 - Nameless Walkers bow

Chapter 581 - Nameless Walker''s bow

Even though he knew the human races did a lot of things in the past; however, Elder Boron never exined those events in detail and left them for him to discover on his own. So, he asked her as he always wanted to know about the events of the past. "Firstplete the three trials and you can ask me any three questions," ''Swoosh'' As soon as she finished her words, she disappeared from her ce. ''There must be other reasons for why she hates the human race,'' Evidently, it was very clear for Ajax to guess with the disgusted look on her face. So, he thought there might be something more to her story. ''Anyway, I can ask her as long as I finished these trials,'' Soon, he focused on the longbow and quiver full of arrows toplete the three trials of the hall. ''Ding, Item name:-?Nameless walker''s bow Grade:- Heaven Description:- Made by the sweat and blood of the Elegant Walker''s race weaponsmith. Note:- It contains a very weak soul that hates humans to its core. As he focused on the bow, he got the system notification which informed about the bow that made Ajax bitterly shook his head. ''Even a weapon made by them hates human to its core,'' Ajax didn''t know whether he should cry orugh after checking the information on the bow and he didn''t even bother to check information on the Quiver anymore. "I know you hate humans, but..I..I¡­," Ajax didn''t even know what he had to say for the bow to ept him as its master as he started stammering in his words. ''What a fool! I still don''t understand why it chose him as his master. If he can''t even manage to tame a weak weapon soul in the bow, then how will heplete those things,'' The beautiful woman, who was observing Ajax while sitting on a tree in the distance, shook her head as though she was dissatisfied with something. ''As long as he doesn''t impress me, I will notplete my halls in this battle tower,'' Soon, she swore to herself in making things difficult for Ajax. ... "Ufff" As for Ajax, he stopped stammering and took a deep breath before calming himself down. "I don''t know the reason why you hate humans and I don''t say whether they are right or wrong. And the most important is I will not say I am kind or other bullshit. My aim is to be powerful. Very powerful enough to save me and my family and friends from those who wanted to harm us," After taking a deep breath, Ajax spoke in a single breath that made both the weak weapon soul and the beautiful hall guardian flinch a little before returning to normal. "So, if you join me, we will be stronger together. Moreover, I will help you heal your injuries," While saying that, Ajax extended his hands to hold the longbow. From the system''s information regarding the longbow, Ajax could guess, it was a very powerful weapon that was damaged in some fight. So, he had confidence in improving its grade. So, he promised to help it be powerful. ''Now, please don''t resist my spirit imprint,'' So far, everything went as he expected and only one thing was left and that was to ce his spirit imprint on the weapon soul. ''Huh?'' However, for some reason, the weapon soul was rejecting his spirit imprint which made him frown. ''Wait a second! System, are you showing everything about this nameless walker''s bow?'' All of a sudden, he asked the system as he felt something was wrong with it. ''Ding, Yes. Only after it epts you as its master, theplete information will be shown to you. Soon, the system replied with an affirmative answer to Ajax. ''That''s it. Then I have a way to convince it,'' Soon, Ajax became excited as though he was fully confident in finishing the first trial. ...¡­. At the mercenary guild, While Ajax was clearing one hall after another in the battle tower, the surroundings of the mercenary guild were always bustling with many mercenaries and the normal cultivators that woulde to ce some missions for the mercenaries; however, at the moment there was not even a single person. Inside the mercenary guild, "The royal family and other top powers of the Zrochester province will be arriving today. So, the royal family passed a decree to the entire province that except for the top powers and a few allowed mercenaries, no one should visit the guild today," The guild master sipped his tea while saying about the reason behind the silence around the mercenary guild to the five old cultivators. "I don''t like what they did," "I agree with you, Seward," As soon as they heard the old guild master''s words both Seward and Ramon revealed their displeasure with the royal family''s actions. "No one here likes the actions of the royal family; however, let''s see what they are going to do by giving a decree to not enter the premises of the mercenary guild for an entire day,", However, the veiled matriarch, Sandra calmed them down with her words. "If they don''t apologize andpensate our mercenary guild and the mercenaries in it, I will show them how much I have improved my battle prowess," Ramon and Esmund smiled while saying almost simr words. "So, all the top powers areing here?" The most anxious one among the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' Elex, the soul handler asked the guild master. "Except for thebat king sect, which stopped interfering in the province''s affairs, every other top power informed me about their arrival to the mercenary guild," The guild master calmly exined about Elek''s question before looking at Rulf and ordered, "Take care of all the arrangements and I don''t want anything to go wrong today. Do you understand?" "Understood, guild master," Rulf revealed a cunning smile on his face before leaving all the six powerful cultivators alone in the mall hall of the mercenary guild. Chapter 582 - Spark of Crushing

Chapter 582 - Spark of Crushing

Yesterday, the royal family and other top powers of the Zrochester province decided toe to the mercenary guild regarding the event of the demon invasion. They didn''t announce the reason for their arrival but one thing was sure, they were very serious and the punishment for appearing around the mercenary guild was instant death. So, no cultivator or mercenary didn''t want to take any risk and decided to stay out of the trouble. Back in the mercenary guild, all of a sudden, everyone in the hall looked at Rulf for a moment before revealing smiles on their faces. "So, you want to activate the ''Spark of Crushing'' if things went south? I hope the royal family will not make any foolish decisions today;?otherwise...Hehe," From the conversation between the guild master and Rulf, the veiled matriarch, Sandra knew what the guild master was nning and startedughing. "I thought you will still y by the rules to those bastards from the top powers. Looks like you changed for good this time," The rest of the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' jokingly said to the guild master, who always avoided conflicts with the top powers. The five old cultivators among the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' always wanted to overthrow the current royal family and destroy the other powerful sects and great families. So, they were excited when they thought about using the ''Spark of Crushing'' formation against them. "Don''t get your hope high very soon. I will not use that formation unless they make something funny," However, all their hopes were turned down by the old guild master''ster words which made them shake their head. "You really think too much; however, I think, I will not get a chance to use that formation today...Haha," The guild master startedughing when he saw how depressed his fellow cultivators were. ... Inside the battle tower, When he saw the system notification in front of him, Ajax suddenly thought about an idea to tame the ''Nameless walker''s bow''. ''Since you have a soul which is injured in some battle, I know what you fear,'' Ajax silently thought in his head and immediately said in a loud voice, "Bloodl.u.s.t spear,e out. I have some use with you." ''Swoosh'' Soon a red-coloured long spear appeared in front of him. "Huh? Is he an idiot or what? Is he thinking about using force to form a contract with it?" The beautiful hall guardian felt funny at Ajax''s actions and shook his head. ''Looks like he thinks, the longbow is only heaven grade but he doesn''t know it was once a legendary grade weapon,'' With a scoff, the beautiful woman silently scoffed at Ajax as she continued to watch his actions. "Huh? You think that''s it? It''s not over yet. That realm thing wille out now," Looking at the longbow which didn''t even flinch at the bloodl.u.s.t spear, Ajax revealed a slight smile before saying, "Heaven''s destroyer spear, activate." ''Zap'', As soon as he finished his words, the bright white light emitted from the red-coloured spear as it slowly turned into a pure white coloured shining spear. ''Shake'' The longbow started shivering after seeing the white coloured spear in Ajax''s hand. "Now, what do you say?" While saying that, Ajax once again tried to ce his spirit imprint on the weapon soul. ''Phew.. sessfully ce the spirit imprint and got another powerful weapon to my arsenal,'' This time, the weapon soul didn''t resist his spirit imprint and epted it. "What? He already got a legendary grade weapon on him?" The beautiful women nearly fell from the tree when she saw Ajax turning a heaven grade spear into a legendary grade spear. ''Looks like he is luckier than I thought to possess a legendary grade weapon on him,'' Soon, she recovered her shock and her opinion on Ajax had changed a little and continued watching Ajax before thinking, ''So what? He still has two trials left.'' She was fully confident that Ajax would fail the second trial which was the most difficult one among the three trials of this hall. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining another legendary grade weapon (Broken). ''Ding, One of the three trials ispleted. Please continue toplete all the three trials to clear the hall. As for Ajax, he got a couple of system notifications that made him smile a little. ''Before I try other trials, System, why don''t you show itsplete details,'' Any cultivator would be curious to know the effects and history of a legendary grade weapon and Ajax was no different; instead, he was even more curious than other cultivators. So, he decided to check its information. ''Ding, Item name:-?Nameless walker''s bow (Broken) Grade:- Heaven?(Used to be Legendary grade) Effects:- 1) uracy:- An arrow fired from this longbow will never miss the target. 2) Multiple arrows:- A fire multiple arrows with multiple targets. Note:- For this, the uracy is not 100 percent. Description:- 1) Made by the sweat and blood of the Elegant Walker''s race weaponsmith. 2) A weapon that is used in the great human-demon battle and destroyed by the Heaven destroyer spear''s might. Soon, a huge holographic screen appeared in front of him giving theplete information regarding the longbow. "So, you two know each other already," The first thing that caught his eyes was the description because Ajax was more interested in the description for this longbow rather than the skills. However, after seeing the second description, Ajax was surprised and asked the two weapons in front of him. ''buzz'' Both the weapons shook a little as though they were agreeing to Ajax''s words. ''Looks like the longbow soul is still having a great amount of fear towards the heaven destroyer spear. So, that might be the reason for getting the approval to ce thee spirit imprint on it,'' Since Ajax had ced the sprint imprint on it, he could now sense the lingering fear inside the weapon soul of the longbow and silently thought in his head. Chapter 583 - Magical Quiver

Chapter 583 - Magical Quiver

Before he could ce his spirit imprint on the weak soul of the longbow, he just wanted to show it that he could take care of a weapon and at the same time, he could help it restore its strength., However, he didn''t expect that the heaven destroyer spear wouldpletely dominate the soul of the ''Nameless walker''s longbow''. "You don''t need to fear it anymore and moreover, I will help you restore your grade and strength," Ajax lightly caressed the longbow as he gave some words to help it fight its fear against the heaven destroyer spear. ''Buzz'' The longbow lightly shook after hearing Ajax''s words. ''However, I still don''t understand why would an Elegant walker''s longbow participate in the great human and demon war?'' After helping the longbow with its fear, Ajax thought in his mind. In that great war, the heaven destroyer spear was a human cultivator''s weapon and it fought against the demons which meant the longbow participated in the war and fought against the humans because it was destroyed by the spear. So, Ajax felt there was much to learn about the great war than what was said to the human cultivators. ''Since the Elegant walker''s race hates humans so much. So, it''s no wonder they took the side of the demons to fight against the humans,'' Soon, he concluded the matter with the Elegant walker''s hate towards the human. "Even though it only has two skills at the moment, they are very good," Next, Ajax shifted his attention to the two skills. "With uracy, I will never miss the target and with the multiple targets, I can use it on the group battles. Moreover, once I restore it''s strength back to the legendary realm, it will gain even more skills," Ajax felt that the longbow was what he needed now as he always wanted a long-range weapon. ''As for the information regarding the Elegant walkers and the great war between the humans and the demons, I will ask about it after Ipletely clear this hall,'' Nevertheless, he felt that thinking about these matters would only cause him a headache. So, he decided to stop thinking about it and shifted his focus towards the trials because he could get answers for three of his questions if he sessfullypleted the three trials. ''Heaven''s destroyer, you can go back now,'' Since there was no need to fight anyone, Ajax sent the shining white spear back into his inventory and clutched the longbow. ''Let''s see how is my aim,'' Ajax knew it was impossible toprehend the Dao of archery just by taming a powerful bow weapon and ording to him, the dao would only be increased by the continuous training. So, he decided to test a theory of releasing arrows using the longbow. "So, will you listen to my words or should I use force on you?" After getting that thought in his head, he looked at the quiver full of arrows and asked it with a slight smile on his face. Just like the longbow, the quiver is also a heaven grade item which has awakened its consciousness. So, he asked it even though he already knew the answer to his question. "Good," Seeing that the quiver was not showing any retort, Ajax nodded his head and focused on it. ''Ding, Item name:- Magical Quiver. Grade:- Heaven. Effects:- 1) It continues to replenish its arrows as soon as an arrow is taken out of it. 2) Produces a single powerful arrow once in a month that has the power of the quasi-legendary grade weapon. Description:- It is created using the wood from the '' Magical Evesting Tree'' that can continue to grow even after it was cut off. "Huh? Such a nice item. This hall is the richest hall in the entire firstyer of the battle tower so far," Seeing the generous items in front of him, Ajax excitedly muttered to himself. Not only did he get a legendary grade longbow, but he also got a heaven grade quiver that could produce the arrows infinitely and a special arrow of the quasi-legendary arrow once a month. Moreover, there was another item waiting for him. It was none other than monster peach. Overall, he felt this was one of the richest halls in the firstyer of the battle tower. ''Swoosh'' Controlling his excitement, he took out one of the normal-looking arrows from the magical quiver and searched for a target. "Found it," He didn''t search for much time before he found a suitable target for his bow practice. "This little prick is selecting me as his target. How audacious," When the beautiful woman saw that Ajax was using her as a target for his bow practice, she became angry and released an arrow at Ajax without any hesitation. ''Swoosh'' Seeing that an arrow wasing at him with an incredible speed, Ajax tried to dodge it; however, the arrow changed its direction and moved towards him at the same pace. ''Looks like I am about to fail this hall,'' Ajax knew he was not strong enough to deflect the arrow because he could sense that this arrow waspletely different from the earlier arrows he had deflected with his spear. ''Anyway, I will take care of this hall after taking some rest,'' Soon, he didn''t bother to move from his ce and at the same time, he waspletely tired. So, he decided to return after taking a little rest. ''Even if I have to spend 10000 units of the essence of nature, I wille back soon to get my revenge,'' Ajax didn''t expect that the events would turn out like this for selecting the hall guardian as his target; however, he clenched his hands and swore to take care of this hall. "Do you think I will endure your audacious actions in my hall? Just die for now ande backter for revenge. Then things will be interesting...Haha," Looking at the helpless look on Ajax''s face, the beautiful womanughed with a scoff. Chapter 584 - A deal with the hall guardian

Chapter 584 - A deal with the hall guardian

''Damn you'' Looking at the haughtyugh on the beautiful woman''s expression, Ajax cursed her as he thought, ''I will definitely clear the hall as long as I get the chance.'' With that thought in his mind, he looked at the iing arrow with a serious expression and clenched his fists. "Looks like I can only wait for a while before entering the battle tower the second time and ¡­..," ''Dang'' Before he could finish his words, Ajax noticed that the iing powerful arrow was blocked by some kind of barrier. "Huh?" Both the beautiful woman and Ajax were shocked by the sudden appearance of a barrier that help Ajax block the arrow. ''What just happened? How did he block the arrow?'' The beautiful woman jumped from the tree and walked towards Ajax and at the same time, she released another arrow. ''Swoosh'' ''Dang'' Just like earlier, the arrow was blocked by some barrier making her even angrier. "Let''s see how long can you do that," She already hates the human race to the core and with Ajax selecting her as a target triggered her. However, after Ajax blocked her arrow twice in a row, she waspletely pissed off and decided to go all out. "Take this," As soon as she said that she released multiple arrows at Ajax. ''What is happening? I didn''t do anything,'' As for Ajax, he was more than surprised than the beautiful woman as he knew he did nothing in blocking the arrows. ''Swoosh swoosh'' ''Dang dang'' The same thing repeated even with the multiple arrows as they were sessfully blocked by some unknown warrior. ''However, I do like the expression on her face...Haha,'' Even though Ajax didn''t know what was happening and where that barrier hade from, he started to enjoy it when he saw the look on the beautiful woman''s face. "Damn you little prick. I will see how you are going to block my ''Thousand serpent arrows''," Compared to her arrows being blocked, the elegant walker anger raised to another level with Ajax''sugh and used one of her powerful skills ''Ding, There is no need for the host to worry regarding the hall guardian of this hall because this hall is not designed for battles. ''Ding, No matter what the hall guardian does, the host will not be injured by her. Just as he was waiting for the hall guardian''s powerful attack, the system sent a couple of system notifications that made him smile with any worries. ''So, this is your doing? Great,'' Finally, Ajax understood that he was being protected by the system and he also learned the reason for his protection. So, he felt confident and at the same time, he thought of an idea that could help him finish the trial in the shortest time. "Wait for a second," As soon as he thought of an idea, he didn''t waste any time and asked the beautiful woman to stop using her powerful attack. "What? You are not confident anymore in your turtle shell?" The Elegant walker just paused for a moment and continued to chant some spells for her powerful attack. "I am very much confident in my barrier; however, I wonder are you confident in your so-called powerful attack?" From the beginning, Ajax understood that the beautiful woman in front of him was very arrogant and hated the human race. So, he wanted to use that arrogance to clear the hall. So, he carefully used his words to make her fall into a dilemma. "Haha...stop with your bullshit. Whether I am confident in my attack or not will be known soon enough," The hall guardian didn''t think much as she asked Ajax to stop his bullshit and soon she finished her chanting and aimed at Ajax. "If your attack is sessful, I will agree that your elegant walker race is greater than my human race and at the same time, I will voluntarily give up clearing this hall this time. What do you say?" Ajax was just trying his best to convince the elegant walker women to ept some deal with him. ''Please ept it...please ask what I want in return if I win,'' After finishing his words, Ajax started muttering to himself as he expectantly looked at the beautiful woman. ''Even though chances of him clearing this hall within 3 hours are less; however, It is not impossible. So, it''s better if I make him clueless about the difficulties of the other two trials in this hall and waste his chance this time to know them,'' The hall guardian thought to herself before nodding her head as she continued, "So, what do you want if you win?" "I have something in mind. But for now, I will not say," Ajax revealed a slight smile as he continued, "So, you are not 100 percent sure in your powerful attack." Ajax''s words hit her sore spot which made her seeth in anger. "Haha...you have sessfully pissed me off, little prick. I agree to your deal," Sheughed with anger and she didn''t waste any more time before releasing a single arrow from her longbow. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the arrow left the longbow, it started to multiply at an incredible speed while still maintaining their path towards Ajax. "This attack looks good. If I have the skill like this while fighting the demon army, I would have killed the entire first batch of demon army in a single attack," Looking at the iing 1000 arrows, Ajax felt it was a skill that was tailormade for him to use and wondered if he had that skill, he would not worry about his essence of nature consumption or tiredness from fighting armies. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Dang'' ''Dang'' "How is that possible? Even though my strength is restricted to the elitemander walker realm, not even an elite general realm cultivator cane out of this attack without severe injuries," The beautiful woman lost all the confidence in her as she looked at Ajax with her eyes wide open. "Now, let''s talk about business. Shall we?" Chapter 585 - Top powers gathering in mercenary guild (1)

Chapter 585 - Top powers gathering in mercenary guild (1)

Inside the mercenary guild, All the main hall of the mercenary guild waspletely filled with the leaders of the top powers of the Zrochester province. From the royal family, the King Stephen Draton along withmander Reid and his old minister sat opposite the guild master. As for the side, it was filled with the guild master''s old friend towards his end and at the king''s end, the chairs on the long table were upied by the sect leaders of the fire sword sect and the assassin sect along with the family heads of the five great families. And the remaining chairs were filled with the two or three elders from each of the top powers of the Zrochester province. "Guild master, how have you been?" Even though the hall waspletely filled, it waspletely silent and no one even dared to whisper with one other. The silence was broken by the King as he asked the guild master. "Just healing my mercenary guild from the betrayals of the top powers," There was no expression on his face as the guild master replied to King Stephen. "..." Including the King, the rest of the people in the hall were speechless by the words whereas the guild master''s friends were withholding theirughter. "I will not waste any more time as I have enough things to worry about," The sect leader of the Assassin sect, Gerg said in a hurried tone. He was very thin with wrinkles all over his face and he looked just like a skeleton. Moreover, his wrinkled face was pale as though he was worried about something. "What happened to you Sect leader Gerg? You look like you are horrified by something," Looking at Gerg''s face, the guild master asked him regarding his health condition. "Nothing. I am very sorry for not sending the reinforcement when you need them. As apensation, I will give you a rank 5 medicinal herb ''Fatigue bay leaf''," He shook his head as he apologized to the guild master as he took out a jade box and opened it. "Fatigue bay leaf?" "Looks like the assassin sect really wants this thing to be over soon," "Maybe, they really have other problems at hand. I wonder what troubled them, the great top sect of the Zrochester province," When they saw the item inside the jade box, everyone was shocked and started muttering to one another regarding the assassin sect. "Sect leader Gerg, are you really sure you want to gift the ingredient for the bravery of the mercenary guild?" The guild master didn''t take the jade bok from Gerg''s hands, instead, he changed the earlier words of the assassin sect leader and asked him. "Yes. Your mercenary guild and its mercenaries deserve much more than this rank 5 medical ingredients. Moreover, I will give 10 drops of the dark magical essence from my sect''s headquarters," The sect leader Gerg acted very generous with hispensation and asked the guild master, "So, can I take my leave now?" As soon as he finished his words, the sect leader Gerg stood up. "Thanks, sect leader Gerg for your valuable gifts. You can go and take care of your troubles," The guild master didn''t stop Gerg as he kept both the jade box and the small bottle with ck liquid into his space ring. ''Shameless. All the mercenaries are shameless,'' This was the only thought in Gerg''s head as he and the other members of the assassin sect left the mercenary guild. ''I have to do something with themunication with the headquarters; otherwise, once the other sects and the royal families know about that, my sect will face many difficulties,'' A few days ago, the sect leader Gerg came out of his seclusion and found out that themunication between the headquarters and his sect had been cut-off which was troubling him. So, he wanted to go back to the sect as soon as possible and do something to get back the support of the headquarters. That was the reason why he didn''t hesitate to give a rank 5 alchemy ingredient and 10 drops of dark magical essence. ¡­.. ''Even though I don''t have any use with the rank 5 alchemy ingredient. It will be a great use when I find a rank 5 alchemist,'' The guild master silently thought in his head as he continued, ''As for the dark magical essence, it will be very useful for?Ramon and others who had dark elemental beasts.'' The guild master preferred peace over war. So, he wanted the other top powers not to use his principles for their use. That was why he summoned his old friends to indirectly tell them he was angry with them. "What does Gerg think of himself? Does he think we don''t have any thing to do?" "Yes, let''s finish this thing and we also leave from here," As soon as the assassin sect left the mercenary guild, except for the royal family, all other top powers showed their dissatisfaction. "Let me tell you one thing," When he saw the dissatisfaction looks on everyone, the guild master continued in a low but serious tone, "No one invited you here and you are the ones that willingly came here. So, just say the reason for your visit and get lost from here." There was no fear on the guild master''s face when he said those words and at the end, he looked at Stephen before saying, "Isn''t that right, your majesty?" ''Holy heck...the guild master is damn cool to say those words to the top powers of this province,'' Rulf, Edmond and Udo felt like the hairs on their hands as he curiously looked at the King and other''s faces wondering what they were going to reply to those words. ''Damn it...how dare a mercenary to say that to my sect leader?'' ''No one has disrespected my family head...so far. I will kill him as soon as my family head orders me,'' All the cultivators that came with their sect and families angrily looked at the guild master and waited for their leaders to give them a signal.

Chapter 586 - Top powers gathering in mercenary guild (2)

"So, you think the royal family is the only one with nothing to do?" Unexpected to everyone'' expectations, the King looked at the other powers and asked them with a scoffed expression on his face. "No no no, your majesty. It''s just....," "Stop your bullshit and let''s finish the matter why we came here, shall we?" Before anyone of the leaders of the top powers could give a reply, the King interrupted as he asked them once again. "Yes, your majesty," All of them became silent and looked at the guild master with angry looks on their faces. ''Haha,'' As for the guild master and his five old friends, they revealed small smiles on their faces. ''If not for my orders from the Ylercester province to stay out of trouble with the mercenary guild, I would have cooked up some n to take out this mercenary guild,'' ''I wonder why the higher-ups from the other province don''t want us to go against the mercenary guild?'' ''Does they also have a backer in Ylercester province?'' All the leaders of the top powers suppressed their anger towards the guild master and decided to follow the actions of the royal family which was suggested by their higher ups. Some might wonder who were the higher-ups of the top powers of the Zrochester province as they were already the top of their province. That''s right! Except for the royal family and mercenary guild, all the other top powers have their own backers in the Ylercester province. Even though they onlymunicate with these so-called top powers in the Zrochester province once in a while, they always give their warnings and missions. ording to their backers, they should not mess with the mercenary guild if they don''t gauge the exact strength of the mercenary guild. It was also their suggestion to follow the royal family topensate the mercenary guild for not sending reinforcements. So, no matter how arrogant they were in the past, they still suppressed their anger towards the guild master. "I know you are all busy. So, let''s finish this soon," The guild master''s starting words were filled with mockery as he looked at each and every one of the leaders of the top powers. "Let''s start from the five great families," Even though he was the king of the province, most of the leaders didn''t have much fear towards him. With less fear, respect towards him was also very less. Nevertheless, the King still tried to act dominant in front of everyone. So, he ordered the five great families to start. "Yes, your majesty," All of the five family heads nodded their heads before taking out some items from their space rings. "My Hammergust family apologizes for the mercenary guild for not sending the reinforcements in time and at the same time for the bravery of the mercenary guild and its mercenaries, I will give this," The Hammergust family head, Holor, took out a small building toy from his space ring as he moved it towards the guild master. Just like every other family head, he was old but he looked physically strong. "Huh? What is this, Familly head Holor?" Guild carefully observed the toy building in his hands and asked Holor about it. "It is the low-level heaven grade battle tower that was specially made by me and other top artificers of my Hammergust family," Holor paused for a moment before saying, "As long as you drop a single drop of your bloodline, you will know how it works." After finishing his words, Holor closed his eyes and stopped bothering with others because it was very difficult for him to part with that battle tower; however, it was the decision of their backer. "Nice item," The guild master didn''t expect the Hammergust family to be this generous and he was very much satisfied with the item before keeping it away and silently thought in his head, ''It is a good item for Rulf as it can be used to increase the strength of the low-level mercenaries with this battle tower.'' Except for the mercenary guild, all the other powers have their own battle towers. So, with the item in his hands, the guild master thought of cing it in his mercenary guild to increase the battle prowess of low-level mercenaries. As for why he said only low-level mercenaries because he knew that no one would give a high-level battle tower to another power. "Next?" After keeping away the item, the guild master asked the emperor for his taxes from the kings who were ruling some kingdoms in his empire. "TT" Hearing that, the King gritted his teeth because he didn''t like some low-life mercenary act like a royal in front him. ''Your majesty. Control your anger. Did you forget your master''s orders?'' Just when the king was about to snap out in anger, his old minister hurriedly calmed Stephen using his master''s name. ''Sigh'' Hearing those words, the king sighed and suppressed his anger and looked at the next family head. "Foreglow family head, Aebnir sincerely apologizes with a monster peach to the mercenary guild," Unlike the Hammergust family head, this foreglow family head was much calmer and cool-headed as he took out a jade box in which a huge green coloured fruit was neatly ced. As for why he was calm because the monster peach was an item that was sent by his backer from the Ylercester province. ''Monster peach?'' ''With this, the mercenary guild will have another elite general realm cultivator,'' ''Why are they giving all the resources to the mercenary guild and making it even more?powerful?'' Many of the onlookers were shocked at first and shook their heads at the end because they thought what their family heads doing right now was the foolish thing to them. However, they didn''t have the courage to express their thoughts out in the open as only death awaits them if they do that. "Hehe" The guild master and the other five old cultivators heartilyughed while receiving the fruit. ''m'' "I had enough," All of a sudden, the king mmed the long dining table as he angrily looked at the guild master and his friends. Chapter 587 - Dao enlightenment

Chapter 587 - Dao enlightenment

Inside the battle tower, "Now, let''s talk about business. Shall we?" Ajax looked at the beautiful hall guardian, who was utterly shocked by the barrier protecting Ajax as he asked her with a slight smile on her face. "How is this possible? M...my at..ttack, it''s never failed," The Elegant walker woman stammered in her words as she muttered and looked at Ajax in a different light and at the same time, she controlled her emotions and asked him, "How did you do that?" "Haha...that was not our deal," The current Ajax showed a winner''s expression as he continued, "Since I blocked your so-called powerful attack, give me a clearance to this hall." Even though the barrier was not his skill and used the system to cheat the hall guardian, Ajax didn''t feel anything wrong with his action as he was doing what he needed to do. "Sigh...I can''t give you a straight away clearance to this hall. The only way to clear this hall is toplete the trials," Compared to before, the beautiful woman''s arrogance was very less as she replied to Ajax with a sigh. "What?" When he heard those words, Ajax was shocked and felt all his previous acting was nothing. "Haha...even though there is the deal, I can''t give you something which I don''t have control over it," It didn''t take much time for the beautiful women''s arrogant behaviour toe back and she mockingly replied to him. "Really? So, you can give something which you have control and power...Good good," Seeing the arrogant look on the hall guardian''s face, Ajax calmed down his emotions and looked at the beautiful woman as though he was thinking something vulgar in his mind. "Youu...what are you thinking?" Finally, the beautiful woman flinched at Ajax''s gaze towards her body and unconsciously moved back a couple of steps. "What am I thinking? Of course, I am thinking of a way to clear this hall...hehe," Ajax moved towards with the same look on his face that made the beautiful woman fearful. "Wait... wait...wait," Just when Ajax was only a couple of steps away from her, the beautiful woman asked him to wait. Even though she was more powerful than Ajax, she could not do anything if Ajax really asked for her body ording to their previous deal. So, she thought of a n to change Ajax''s thoughts towards her. "What is it? Do you know a way to clear this hall or ¡­," "Yes...yes. I have a way for you to clear this hall," Before Ajax could finish his sentence, the beautiful woman interrupted him. "Nice...nice. Say it," Ajax knew that this hall could not be cleared in a normal way because it was impossible to gain the bow dao in just three hours. So, he just acted as though he was after her body and it worked. ''They are all the same,'' However, the beautiful woman cursed all the men inside her heart before taking out a small longbow that was identical to the one that Ajax had just ced his spirit imprint on. "Swallow it and you can directly enter into an enlightenment state and as for whether you canprehend the longbow dao or not is up to you," After finishing her words, she threw the 5 centimeters longbow at Ajax before disappearing from her ce. ''Huh? What is this?'' Ajax was not worried about the beautiful woman as he knew she would continue watching him from the distance and focused on the small longbow in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Dao enlightenment (Consumable) Weapon type:- Longbow. Effects:-?Helps the consumer in gaining theprehension in the specific weapon dao. Description:- It is not always guaranteed to help the consumer reach the level 1 weapon dao. Sometimes, they might not even reach level 1. So, it always depends on consumerprehension capacity. As he focused on it, the information regarding the small longbow appeared in front him making him excited. ''I knew that there will be another way to clear this hall,'' Ajax revealed a big smile on his face as he swallowed the longbow without wasting any time and there was no hesitation on his face when he did that. ''Ding, Consumed a Dao enlightenment. ''Ding, The host will enter an enlightened state for the next one hour. As for how much heprehends, it will be dependent on him. As soon as he consumed it, a couple of system notifications appeared in front of him before his consciousness became nk as he stood in his position like a statue. "Hm...not bad not bad. He entered into the enlightened state in a couple of seconds...not bad," As Ajax expected, the beautiful woman was watching him from the distance as she nodded her head when she saw the Ajax entered stood still in only a couple of seconds. ''Maybe he is truly capable of something. That''s why it picked him as his master,'' Soon, the beautiful woman rested her back against a tree branch as he continued to watch Ajax. Seconds turned into minutes and soon one hour passed by in a sh. "Huh? Why are there no fluctuationsing from him even after the time ispleted? Did he fail to gain the longbow dao?" The beautiful woman hurriedly jumped from the tree as she walked towards Ajax while thinking many questions in her head. ''If he failed, then it is a waste of the Dao enlightenment?'' The beautiful woman shook her head as he reached Ajax before calling him, "Hey little prick, wake up. You have sessfully wasted a heaven grade item." The only thing she was getting whenever she saw Ajax was anger and irritation with his each and every action. "Is it over already?" Ajax was woken up by the beautiful woman''s shout and slowly opened his eyes. "Swoosh" The moment he opened his eyes a bright light escaped his eyes. "That is¡­," The beautiful woman was shocked by what she had just seen in Ajax''s eyes. ***** Please read my other book ''My cultivation system''. Chapter 588 - Longbow Dao

Chapter 588 - Longbow Dao

The light escaped Ajax''s eyes and was very bright that blinded the beautiful woman for a moment before she shockingly looked at Ajax. "What happened to you? Are you mesmerized by my handsomeness?" Ajax jokingly said the beautiful woman with a slight smile on his face. "Shameless," After hearing Ajax''s words, the beautiful woman replied with a scoff as she continued, "You have only 10 minutes left for thepletion of your three hours trial time." As soon as she finished her words, she left from there and didn''t bother with him anymore. ''Damn it! Why is he so lucky?'' While returning back to her tree, she cursed Ajax''s good luck. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forprehending the Longbow Dao. ''Ding, Congrattions on sessfully reaching the level 2 Longbow Dao. ''Ding, Congrattions on sessfullypleting the second trial. ''Ding, Pleaseplete the remaining trial within the next 10 minutes; otherwise, the host will lose all the rewards he got in this hall. Just as the beautiful woman left in front of Ajax, his head was filled with a series of system notifications that made him excited and at the same time, he became anxious as he had to finish thest time within 10 minutes. "Calm down. You can do it, Ajax," Ajax calmed himself down as he looked at the distant monster peach as he readied himself. Even though the trial looked very simple to him, Ajax felt there was something wrong with the trial because thest two trials were also difficult. ''I hope, there will be not much difficulty in this trial,'' Soon, he aimed at the monster peach using the arrow from the magical quiver with the help of the longbow. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any more time, he released the arrow at the monster peach; however, just when the arrow was within a few meters, it was deflected by something invisible to his eyes making him anxious. ''Herees the difficulty of the trial,'' Ajax was not surprised much by the sudden deflection of the arrow as he had already expected this kind of thing to happen. ''Hmm..how to hit the monster peach with the arrow?'' Ajax was trying to find a way toplete this trial and started thinking of various possibilities for the deflection of the arrow. ''Ding, Less than five minutes to go. As he was in his thoughts, the system sent a warning notification to remind him of the time. ''Argh'' With the system notification, Ajax became even more anxious as he finally came to a conclusion. ..... Inside the mercenary guild, While Ajax was busy clearing the halls in the battle tower, inside the main hall of the mercenary guild, there was a tension environment. "Guild master, I have had enough of your actions. Today, if I don''t erase your mercenary guild, I will change my name," Looking at the guild master, five old cultivators, Edmond and others'' happy expressions on their faces, Stephen Daraton could not endure them for much longer before he snapped at them with a face full of rage. ''Herees the interesting part,'' ''Let''s see what the guild master will do?'' ''I?hope both side fight and injure themselves then I can have my chance to rule the Zrochester province,'' Sensing the powerful energy fluctuations from Stephen Draton''s body, everyone started whispering to each other or muttered to themself. As for the leaders of the top powers, they were thinking of recing the royal family, if the mercenary guild injures the royal family. Even a cat would fight back if it is cornered and injure the attacker before dying. Just like that, all the heads of the top powers hoped the mercenary guild to injure the royal family as much as possible and it would make the royal family reveal all its trump cards. "Your majesty, this is not the royal hall or the royal city. It is my mercenary guild and I willugh however I want. If you don''t like it then you can leave it," Even then, the guild master showed no fear at all as he spoke in a calm tone that made all the leaders of the top powers excited. ''Holy heck,'' ''Even though the king is not very powerful, those old monsters sleeping in the royal tombs can''t be taken lightly. ''Excellent guild master. Make the king even more angry,'' Hearing the words of the old guild master, everyone sitting in the main hall started their whispering once again. "Really? Then I will erase this mercenary guild," As soon as he finished his words, the king rushed at the guild master in an attempt to take his life in a single attack. ''Your majesty, don''t do it,'' However, before the king could even take a couple of steps towards the guild master, he was stopped by the old royal minister. ''Hey old man.?Leave me; otherwise, I will make you beg me for your death,'' The old royal minister''s cultivations were a little higher than the king. So, he was able to stop the king without much difficulty. That was the reason why the king didn''t force himself towards the guild master; instead, he asked the old minister to remove his hand from his shoulder. ''Let me say something first; after that what you want to do I will leave it to you,'' However, the old minister didn''t take his hand off the king. "Say it," Stephen angrily replied to the old minister. He was very angry that his minister had ced his hands on his shoulder in front of everyone. ''Stephen, if you mess things up, I will leave the royal pce and then you will be on your own,'' All of a sudden, a familiar voice resounded in Stephen''s head that made him shuttered as he immediately suppressed his anger and calmly returned back to his seat. ''...'' Seeing the king''s actions, everyone became bbergasted as they didn''t understand what happened to the king all of a sudden that made him calmed down. Chapter 589 - High-grade spirit stone

Chapter 589 - High-grade spirit stone

''Damn it...I wasted my one year of life span just to act as a transmitter between these master and disciple duo,'' After the entire main hall became silent after whispering for a moment, the old minister silently thought in his head regarding the earlier words in the king''s head. That''s right! The words spoken in the king''s head earlier belonged to the king''s master, who was in the form of golden mist. After hearing those words, the king didn''t waste a single minute before suppressing his anger and sitting back in his seat without any hesitation. ''Maybe we went too far with our behaviour just now. I think. It''s enough,'' Even though the guild master didn''t fear the king, the battle would definitely cause huge losses on either side. So, he decided to stop his earlier arrogant behaviour and didn''t anger the king anymore. Moreover, he asked others to remain calm and don''tugh for some time. "Okay then. I will let you off on my minister''s words," He looked at the guild master while saying that and next he looked at the great families and said, "Quickly finish your item-giving." However, none of the family heads didn''t give any reply to him, making him curse the family heads in his heart. "Dustthorn family gives three spirit essence gems of the rank 6 spirit beast kings," Nevertheless, after the king finished his words, an old man with average build stood up from his seat while taking out three colourful gems from his space ring and passed them towards the guild master. "Not bad, not bad. Spirit essence gems of fire, water and wind. Not bad," The guild master took them into his hands and carefully observed them before continuing, "However, these three essence gems belong to themon element types. So, if you want to show your sincerity, it''s not enough, Family head Gebar." With almost no expression on his face, the guild master replied to the old man with an average build. ''What?'' Hearing the guild master''s words, Gebar became shocked as he shook his head before taking out two more colourful gems and passed them to the guild master. "Now, it is good with the addition of the life and dark element essence gems," Taking another two colourful gems into his hands, the guild master revealed a satisfied smile on his face. ''How did he be satisfied with the exact number of spirit beast king''s essence gems that the headquarters said? Something is definitely not right here,'' Gebar was shocked because his backer said to give five essence gems; however, he wanted to keep two rare essence gems for himself but the guild master indirectly asked for the two essence gems he had kept for himself. ''With these five essence gems, my ''Spark of crushing'' will be even more powerful andst for even longer,'' As for the guild master, he was silently thought to himself. "Five spirit beast kings essence gems. Your Dustthorn family has truly hidden your richness," "Looks like you are being taken care by them so well," .. .. .. .. All the family heads looked at Gebar and started saying different things to him. "So, why don''t you join us then. I will put a good word about you to my backer...Haha," Gebar directly asked the other family heads to join their back to enjoy just like them because he knew no one would join their family backer. If they do that, they could not live to enjoy their benefits at the backer of the Dustthron family. "..." After his counter, no one replied anything before an old man with a thick moustache stood up and threw a shining crystal at the guild master. "My Covenheart family is giving you a High-grade spirit stone aspensation. I hope this removes the bad blood between us," After finishing his words, he sat down with no expression on his face as though that High-grade spirit stone was nothing for him. ''What the hell!'' ''He didn''t even bat an eye while throwing a High-grade spirit stone at the guild master,'' Once again, the crowd started whispering at the nonchnt attitude of the Covenheart family''s head. ''Damn it. Even I didn''t use a high-grade spirit stone in my entire life. Now I have to give it to a mercenary aspensation with my own hands,'' However, what they didn''t know was that the family head Wenog''s heart was aching when he threw the high-grade spirit stone. He was literally cursing the seven generations of the guild master for that; however, he didn''t show it on his face. Compared to the five spirit beast king''s essence gems, the high-grade spirit stone was not as valuable as those five essence gems; however, it''s value increased with the rarity. Because, in Zrochester province, a medium grade spirit stone was formed very rarely with the purity of the essence of nature and it was impossible for a high-grade spirit stone to form in the Zrochester province. "Good," The guild master was satisfied with the high-grade spirit stone. ''Although it was not my first time having a high-grade spirit stone, it is very good for my cultivation as I can heal my injuries a little sooner than I expected,'' The guild master hurriedly kept the stone in his space ring before looking at thest great family head with some great expectations. ''I hope, he will not disappoint me,'' While thinking in his head, the guild master looked at the Terratide family head. "My Terratide family specializes in taming the earth-type spirit beasts. So, I hope a pair of grey behemoth''s eggs will satisfy you," While saying that, Jekaros, the family head of the Terratide took out two grey coloured eggs from the thin air and gave it to the guild master. ''Huh? They look nothing special from their appearance'' The guild master raised his brows as he looked at the eggs which were grey and nothing special, before looking at Ramon and asked, "What do you say?" Chapter 590 - Eternal Nurturer

Chapter 590 - Eternal Nurturer

Everyone in the main hall followed the guild master''s gaze and looked at Ramon, who was famously known as Eternal Nurturer. As for why the guild master asked Ramon regarding two grey-coloured was because as the title suggests, Ramon was good at nurturing nts and spirit beasts. Moreover, he had vast knowledge regarding them. So, there was no hesitation on the guild master''s face when he was asking for Ramon''s help despite being the leader of the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators''. "Let me feel them," Ramon asked the guild master to give him the eggs. So that he could sense them whether they were worth it or just some useless eggs. A normal rank 6 spirit beast egg was valuable in the market; however, the guild master didn''t care much about them. If the eggs belonged to rank 6 spirit beast kings with special bloodlines then they would be worth nurturing. ''He is insulting me by not believing me,'' Jekaros, the Terratide family head, was dissatisfied with the guild master''s actions because he was already bleeding out by giving those eggs to the mercenary guild and now they doubt him. ''No need to feel down, Nephew. After what we and other great families did, we can''t expect everyone to believe us,'' Behind Jekaros, there was an old man as old as the old minister behind the king. He sensed Jekaros'' emotion and calmed him down via voice transmission. Jekaros looked back at his uncle and nodded his head. "Not bad, you can take them, Rae," Ramon caressed the two grey coloured eggs for a moment before revealing a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head at the guild master and replied to him. "Good then. I will ept these eggs from your Terratide family head," After the confirmation from his old friend, the guild master replied to Jakaros as he gave those eggs to Rulf for safekeeping them. ''Not bad my ass. Do you know, as long as you supply them the required cultivation resources, they will reach the peak rank 6 without any trouble,'' When he heard Ramon''s evaluation of those two eggs and the guild master''s smile, Jakaros cursed inside his heart. "Now, Fire sword sect and the Royal family are the only ones left," The guild master knew what Jakaros was thinking in his mind; however, he didn''t mind him as he looked at the fire sword sect leader and Stephen and said in a slow voice. "Our fire sword sect will be opening our sect''s holy grounds in a month. I will give three spots for your mercenary guild; however, you know the rules for entering my holy grounds, right?" Unlike the five great families'' heads, the fire sword sect leader, Ketrok, didn''t stand up and calmly said to the guild master with no expression on his face. "What? Fire sword sect giving entries to their holy grounds just like that?" "This is the first time, they are giving it to outsiders, I think," "But, look at the sect leader''s face, there is no expression on his face. Looks like he is not worried about three mercenaries entering their holy grounds," "Among all the top powers, the fire sword sect is cruel and cunning. So, I think there is more to their gift to the mercenary guild," The fire sword sect''s words became a heated discussion among the onlookers as they muttered in a low voice. "Are you really giving three spots?" Even the leaders of the top powers sitting around the long table were shocked by Ketrok''s words. So, the guild master asked while raising his brows. "Why will I lie in front of these many people?" With a scoff, Ketrok replied to the guild master and seriously looked at the on-lookers who were talking bad things about him and his sect. As soon as he looked at them, the entire main hall fell silent and only after that, he looked at the guild master. "Okay then. Give me the entry tokens," Finally, the guild master nodded his head as he asked for the enter tokens in the fire sword sect''s holy grounds. ''Swoosh'' Ketrok threw three simr-looking red-coloured tokens at the guild master which were caught by him. On the three tokens, there was a symbol of a huge sword that was surrounded by fire. "I will be waiting for your three participants at the entrance of my holy grounds," Ketrok revealed arge smile on his face as he silently thought in his head, ''There is only death awaiting them inside my sect''s holy grounds.'' Fire sword sect''s holy grounds were opened once in every five years and 50 talented fire sword sect''s students would be sent into it because there were many treasures, alchemy ingredients, weapons, artifacts and many more things were hidden in it along with various dangers. There was not much information on it and no one knows where it came from; however, for some reason, the fire sword sect knows the exacts details of that holy grounds and they managed to open an entrance to it and became the sole owner of it in the Zrochester province. "Since the fire sword sect and all the great families are very generous with their gifts to the mercenary guild, the royal family has to give even more valuable thing to show them what is the true richness is," Soon, the king started speaking which grabbed the attention of all those present in the main hall as he continued, "I will give you this thing aspensation." While saying that,?he took out a golden coloured huge shield from his space ring and kept it on the long table. "..." Everyone, including the guild master, became speechless at the King''s words and carefully looked at Stephen wondering what was special with the huge shield in front of them. ''Why did he take that item out? His master ordered him to give something else, right?'' The old minister behind Stephen was shocked by the King''s actions and anxiously thought in his head. Chapter 591 - Shield of Knight

Chapter 591 - Shield of Knight

The old minister was shocked because this was not the item that the king was supposed to give to the guild master. Moreover, this huge golden-coloured shield was much more valuable than the item they were supposed to give. So, he could not help but feel shocked and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to his king. ''Your majesty, this¡­.,'' ''You keep quiet, old man. I know what I am doing and my master will agree to my words,'' Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the king, making him shake his head. ''Whatever,'' Seeing the seriousness in the King''s words, the old minister didn''t bother to argue anymore and silently stood in his ce. ''Once my master knows about my actions, I wonder how he will feel,'' As for the King, he was in his own thoughts regarding his current action because there was a strong reason for giving the huge golden shield to the guild master. "What is this shield, your majesty?" The guild master asked as he didn''t know what was special with the huge shield. So, he asked about it. "I will only say one thing. It is a low-level legendary grade weapon; however, you have to find its effects on your own," The king replied with a slight smile on his face before standing up from his seat and looking at everyone''s faces as he asked the guild master, "You satisfied with this legendary grade weapon, right?" Stephen was very confident that the guild master would definitely be satisfied with a legendary grade weapon. So, he decided to leave the main hall. "Esmund?" Just like Ramon, who was specialized in living beings, Esmund was proficient in forging and weapons. So, the guild master looked at him for an evaluation. "With a title ''Forger of essences'', he will surely know whether it was a legendary weapon or not," When the guild master looked at Esmund, the king''s smile grew even more as he replied. "Yes, it is a legendary grade shield," Even though he was not an appraiser, Esmund had good knowledge in evaluating the weapons'' grade. So, he nodded his head and confirmed the grade of the huge golden shield. "What? A legendary grade weapon?" "Damn it, I only saw a high-level heaven grade weapon once in my entire life but now I have seen legendary grade weapon...Haha," "Me too," All the onlookers were shocked after hearing Esmund''s words. Earlier they were having some doubts regarding the shield''s grade; however, everything was changed now after listening to Esmund''s words. "Only if I can have that weapon, I don''t have to live in fear from other families," However, the eyes of the family heads of the great families were filled with greed as they looked at the huge golden shield. Moreover, all of them had the same single thought in their heads. That was to take the legendary grade weapon for themselves. "If anyone is having second thoughts regarding this shield, they need to be prepared to face the wrath of the royal family," From the looks on the family heads of the five great families, Stephen could say what they were thinking but if they went after that weapon, it would fail his ns. So, he warned them. "Yes, your majesty," Even though they didn''t have much fear towards the king, the royal family was not something their families could go against. So, they nodded their heads; however, they have their own ns in their head. ''You dogs, don''t know what you are greedy for, it will only make things worse for you,'' Nevertheless, the king didn''t bother to warn them anymore and he looked at the guild master before saying, "Okay then. I will take my leave." For some reason, the King didn''t want to stay in the mercenary guild anymore and directly said his ''Goodbyes'' before leaving the mercenary guild. "Huh? What''s with him? Why is he leaving like that?" Everyone became puzzled with the King''s actions as they muttered in low voices. "Okay then. We also take our leave," Soon, the five great families and fire sword sect also started leaving the mercenary guild one by one along with their bunch of followers. Within no time, the main hall in the mercenary guild was left with the ''Six vagrant cultivators'', Edmond, Rulf, Udo and some other high-level mercenaries. "Guild master, we got many good things from them," As soon as everyone left the main hall, Rulf looked at the guild master and said with arge smile on his face. "Yes, but I am feeling a little trouble regarding this huge shield," Pointing at the huge golden coloured shield, the guild master replied to Rulf and others while raising his brows. "Huh?" Edmond and others looked at the huge golden coloured shield; however, they didn''t find anything wrong with it. "There is definitely something wrong with it; otherwise, why will he leave behind such a good thing," As for the vagrant cultivators, they also agreed with the guild master because they know about the royal family a little too well. So, they were unable to remain calm at heart with the huge golden-coloured shield in front of them. "Yes," Edmond and others understood the underlying meaning behind their words and nodded their heads agreeing with the six vagrant cultivators. "Okay then. After our disciple selection event, let''s join and study it together" What do you say?" Finally, the guild master came to a decision and sealed the huge shield in a separated space ring and asked his five old friends. "Sure," As soon as they heard those words, everyone nodded their heads. "Now, it''s time for me to gift you some things," Since the mercenary guild was able to get these many items only because of his old friends, the guild master decided to give some things to them. "No need. Although those things are good, they are not any use for us old cultivators. Give them to the people behind you," Pointing at Edmond and others, Sandra replied to the guild master with a nonchnt expression on her face. Chapter 592 - Another hall cleared

Chapter 592 - Another hall cleared

Inside the?battle tower, There were only less than 5 minutes for Ajax toplete thest trial of the hall; however, for some reason, every time he released an arrow at the monster peach fruit, the arrow was slightly deflected than its original path making him anxious. "Damn it, more than a dozen arrows and every one of them was deflected from their original path," With each passing second, Ajax felt more anxious that made him unable to think properly. "Hey, Nameless, what is the use of having uracy skills if you can''t even hit a stationary object," The Nameless Walker''s Longbow had two skills and one of them was ''uracy''; however, he could not even hit a fruit that was not moving from its ce. So, when the arrows kept on missing the target, Ajax angrily looked at the longbow in hands as he cursed at it. ''Ding, The Nameless walker''s longbow''s skills can only be used outside this hall. Just as he was cursing the longbow in his hands, the system sent a system notification rifying his doubt. ''Calm down, Ajax. It''s just a little trial and even if you fail, you have another chance. So, think properly with a calm mind,'' Since his anxiousness only made things difficult for him, he decided to calm down because there was no way he could finish the task with his anxiousness in his heart. "Wait a second. That''s right!" All of a sudden, Ajax got an idea the moment he calmed himself down. "How did I miss such a simple thing? Might be because of my anxiousness," Ajax bitterly shook his head for a moment before looking at the monster peach fruit in the distance. "Let''s try this," ording to the system countdown, there was around 2 minutes left for the given three-hour time period for the trial. So, taking a deep breath for a moment, he aimed at the monster peach and released an arrow. ''Swoosh'' Just like earlier, the arrow was deflected from his original path but the arrow was a little closer to the monster peach this time making Ajax joyful. ''Yes, it''s working,'' Ajax took another arrow from the magical quiver and repeated the same thing. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' With each attempt, the arrow''s uracy to the target was bing closer which increased his confidence. ''Ding, 10 seconds remaining. Amidst his continuous releasing of arrows, the system sent a notification to inform Ajax about the time. ''I have got this,'' However, there was no worry on his face as he was very confident in his next arrow. ''Now, go,'' ''Swoosh'' Just as the system notification disappeared, Ajax released the arrow and as he expected the arrow was deflected; however, this time, the arrow deviated path was the same as the monster peach''s direction. That''s right! After calming down his mind, Ajax found out that the arrow deviated exactly the same. So, he started changing his target away from the monster peach and the deviated path started bing closer to the monster peach and finally, just when the time was about to over, the arrow hit the monster peach. ''Puchi'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully hitting the monster peach. ''Ding, A monster peach will be sent to the host''s inventory as soon as he leaves the battle tower. ''Ding, Congrattions to the hot for sessfully clearing the hall. Do you want to continue challenging the next hall? ''Ding, An additional reward for clearing this hall in a single attempt will be sent to the host after leaving the battle tower. Just as his arrow hit the monster peach, his head was filled with system notification that made him both heave a sigh of relief and excited with the rewards from the battle tower. "Clearing the hall in a single attempt gives a reward? No wonder, the beautifuldy wanted me to leave this hall in the middle and even fell for my n," Ajax looked at each and every single system notification as he thought in his head. The reason, the beautiful hall guardian made a deal with Ajax in order to force quit him from her hall on his own; however, she still didn''t know that Ajax had cheated her; otherwise, who knows what she would have done. "Since I got some nice rewards from the three halls I have challenged so far, it is a good time to check what are those rewards," Ajax had cleared three halls so far and each one gave him some special reward; however, the problem was he had to leave the battle tower to get them. ''Anyway, it''s time to recover my hand,'' Looking at his right hand, which was missing, Ajax silently thought in his head. He had lost his right hand while fighting the monstrous brown lizard; however, to get it back, he could guess that he needed to go out of the battle tower. So, there was an additional reason for him in thinking ofing out of the battle tower. ''System, take me out of the battle tower,'' Soon, he asked the system to take him out of the battle while thinking about the rewards. ''A small flower from the magical hall, a special reward from the monstrous brown lizard''s hall and adding to the special reward of this hall along with the monster peach, legendary grade bow, heaven grade quiver and level 2 longbow dao,'' He recalled what he had gained from his trip to the battle tower and unconsciously started smiling from ear to ear. "Hehe," ''Swoosh'' Soon, his body started disappearing from the battle tower and he re-appeared in his room. However, before his bodypletely disappeared from the battle tower, Ajax noticed a cunning smile on the beautiful hall guardian who was sitting on the branch of the tree. ''There is something wrong with her smile,'' Ajax felt a bad premonition in his head when he recalled the cunning smile. ''Huh? Where is my hand?'' Looking at the empty space at his right hand, Ajax shouted out loud in a panic. Chapter 593 - Region re-allocation tournament

Chapter 593 - Region re-allocation tournament

Ajax thought that his right hand woulde back as soon as he left the battle tower; however, when he saw that his right hand was still missing, he became anxious and didn''t understand anything. ''Wait wait wait. Maybe it will take some time toe back,'' Even though Ajax thought like that, he felt that his right hand was noting back. ''Only my spirit consciousness form entered the battle tower, right? Then why is my hand noting back,'' If any participant dies in the battle tower, they would be just tired of something and as soon as their spirit consciousness was filled with the essence of nature, their tiredness would disappear. However, in Ajax''s case, it was not working and his right hand was still missing in the real world which made him unable to remain calm. ''That''s right! That Elegant walkerdy must have done something to me that made the injuries in the battle tower transfer to my body,'' Thinking back to the cunning smile on the hall guardian''s face, Ajax quickly rted his present condition to the Elegant walker from hisst cleared hall. As for why he thought of the injuries transferred from his spirit consciousness form to the real body because he felt just like how he felt in the battle tower. The same amount of tiredness, same injures. ''This is not my spirit consciousness form for sure,'' There was not even a small doubt that his current body was in the spirit consciousness form because he could tell the difference between his real body and the spirit consciousness form. "Am I going to live with a single hand for my entire life?" Soon, Ajax started worrying about his right hand and became demotivated as though he had lost all hope in his life along with the right hand. "Rewards? Are they even more valuable than my right hand?" Ajax''s previous excitement regarding the rewards was nowhere to be seen and he didn''t even bother to check the rewards he gained from the battle tower. Soon, some kind of ck smoke came out of nowhere and it started covering the depressed Ajax and within no time, he waspletely covered by the ck smoke. ''Why I became greedy in the battle tower and sacrificed my right hand to the monstrous brown lizard?'' ''With a single hand, how can I take revenge for the massacre in the Silver Orphanage?'' ''There must be some kind of pill or medicine that can generate my right hand. I should start looking for it,'' ''Even if there is some kind of medicine, it will be not an easy thing to get with my single hand,'' For some reason, Ajax started growing more and more depressed with each passing second and he was almost reaching the point where he lost all hope in his life. ''What is the use of living if I am crippled?'' ''Maybe, I should kill myself instead of dying in hands of others,'' Soon, he took out his inheritance sword from the inventory and decided to kill himself. ...¡­ In the demon world, "So, we failed once again in invading the human world?" A muscr demon with short horns asked an old demon without much expression on his face. "Yes, it''s an utter defeat and I still don''t understand why our demon lord suddenly stopped the war and didn''t send thest batch of our demon warriors. They would have surely taken almost all of the mercenaries from the mercenary guild," The old demon with long horns clenched his fist as he replied to the muscr demon. "No need to worry too much old general, we will wage once again after forming some strong demon warriors," Even though it was an utter defeat for the sixth demon king and he lost 20 percent of his demon army in the earlier invasion, the muscr demon said that they could always take revenge against the humans. "Damn it. Stupid fool. We have much bigger problems at hand and you only think about revenge?" However, the old demon called as general became very angry at the muscr demon''s words and stood up from his seat before hitting the muscr demon. ''Old general, what did I do for you to be this angry?'' The muscr demon didn''t understand why the old general suddenly became angry. Nevertheless, he took the attack from the old demon and asked him with an anxious tone. "Let me say what we need to worry about now." The old demon suppressed his anger when he saw how anxious the muscr demon had be and continued saying, "The demon apostle left from our castle without saying a thing. Do you know what that means? He is very dissatisfied with our invasion." "So?" The muscr demon didn''t understand what the old demon was saying and asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Stupid fool. Brainless idiot. Why didn''t you grow something in your head instead of growing muscles?" When he heard the muscr demon''s question, the old demon''s suppressed anger unconsciously came out. "It means that the first demon king will not support us when we fight for the region re-allocation tournament which will be held in a couple of years," Nevertheless, the old demon exined regarding the consequences of their failed invasion. "Huh? So, you are worried about the region re-allocation tournament. There is no need to worry about anything. I have already prepared some finest warriors for that tournament," The muscr demon slowly said to the old demon, who raised his brows when he heard those words. "Sigh...even with the finest warriors from you, the old demon kings will definitely not y nice and for that, we need the support of the first demon king," the old demon shook his head for a moment before continuing, "Anyway, my biggest worry is from the other demons kings, who might wage a war against us at any time." After finishing his words, the old demon looked into the distance and remained silent making the muscr demon''s fists clench in anger. Chapter 594 - Dream Hall

Chapter 594 - Dream Hall

During the recent invasion by the sixth demon king on the Zrochester province, they have lost around 20 percent of their demon army. Adding to the fact, that the sixth demon king was already weakest among all the demon kings in the demon world, the old demon feared that the other demon kings would wage war against them. "Didn''t the first demon king already give his orders not to wage wars against one another?" However, the muscr demon was puzzled as he asked the old demon. "Yes, he gave the orders but we just failed in our invasion and even if the first demon king remains his eyes closed when the other demon king''s wage wars against us, we can''t do nothing," The old demon was very loyal to the sixth demon king. So, he was very worried regarding this issue. ''...'' The muscr demon didn''t say anything and remained silent because he didn''t know what to say now as what the old demon had said was the truth. "Anyway, I hope the other demon kings don''t attack us and give our demon king some time to breakthrough in his cultivation," Soon, the old demon bitterly smiled as he hoped the other demon kings would not attack them sooner. "Now, go back and trained the demon soldiers under you," The old demon looked at the muscr demon and ordered him before he closed his eyes and started cultivating. ..... Inside Ajax''s room, "Huh?" Just when the inheritance sword was about to pierce his abdomen, Ajax paused for a moment and raised his brows. "What happened to me? Why am I trying to kill myself?" The previous ck energy that was surrounding Ajax dispersed for a moment before once again surrounded him. "Yes, I lost my right hand and I should kill myself," As soon as the ck energy engulfed him, Ajax once again went into the depressed state and moved his inheritance sword to kill himself. ''Puchi'' The inheritance sword entered into his abdomen; however, before it entered too deep into his body, Ajax came out of his depressed state. ''Shit. What is happening? Why am I trying to kill myself?'' With pain from his wound in the abdomen, Ajax didn''t enter into the depressed state anymore as he carefully thought about what was happening to him. "Maybe, I am still in the battle tower and this is one of the halls in the firstyer," Thinking back to the smile on the Elegant Walker woman''s face, Ajax thought of the possibility of still in the battle tower. "That''s is the only possible reason for the injuries I am currently having now," Soon, that possibility became a conclusion for Ajax. Since he was still missing his right hand and having the injuries from thest hall of the battle tower, Ajax concluded that he was still in the battle tower. "However, why am I unable to differentiate between my original body and the spirit consciousness form?" However, there was still a small doubt in his mind regarding his body because he felt his current body was his original body and not a spirit consciousness form. ''Calm down,'' Nevertheless, Ajax calmed himself down as he did nothing for the next few minutes and rxed his mind and started thinking about his experience after entering here. "Maybe this hall is rted to some dream or hallucination," After thinking for some time, he came to a conclusion as he didn''t do anything and simply sat on this bed. "Haha" Within no time, Ajax heard a loudugh that made him open his eyes and looked in the direction of thatugh. At the top corner of his room, there was a ck silhouette with two white eyes that were staring at Ajax like a prey. "Are you the guardian of this hall?" Ajax didn''t feel anything when he looked at the ck silhouette as he calmly asked the figure. "Not bad, not bad," However, the ck silhouette didn''t answer Ajax''s question; instead, he praised Ajax as it continued, "You came out of my ''Dream trap'' skill without much harm." "..." Ajax was speechless at the words of the ck silhouette as he stood up from his bed and walked towards the ck silhouette. "Yes, I am the guardian of this hall," Looking at Ajax, who was walking towards him, the ck silhouette answered Ajax''s first question. "Good," As soon as he heard those words, Ajax stopped in his tracks as he revealed a small smile on his face. "As long as you clear¡­." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Before the ck silhouette could finish its words, Ajax released the spatial des at the ck silhouette that made the ck silhouette disperses into various directions. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully clearing the Special hall:- Dream Hall. ''Ding, An additional reward will be sent to the host as soon as he leaves the battle towers. ''Ding, Do you want to exit the battle tower? As soon as he killed the ck silhouette, Ajax''s surroundings started changing and turned into a in hall with nothing in it. Along with that, he also got a series of system notifications that made him shake his head. "System, why did you cheat me? Didn''t I ask you to send me out of the battle tower?" Since the only one on whom he could go all out in scolding, he started cursing the system for ying with him. ''Ding, Every hall guardian has the ability to force the battle tower''s challenger to the next hall. So, be careful when you make the hall guardian''s angry. Ajax already expected that the system would definitely give reply to his questions; however, after seeing that system notification, Ajax bitterly shook his head. "Whatever, I havepleted this hall. System, send me out of the battle tower this time," Ajax hurriedly asked the system to send him out of the battle tower. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he asked the system, his body turned into small specks of light and dispersed into various directions. Chapter 595 - Special spirit beast food

Chapter 595 - Special spirit beast food

Inside Ajax''s room, "Finally, back to my room," Ajax''s body which was sleeping on the bed so far opened his eyes and muttered to himself as he immediately looked at his right hand. ''Phew...finally it''s back and there are no more injuries on my body,'' Seeing that there was no missing right hand, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he started observing his body for its previous injuries; however, except for the strain on his spirit consciousness, his body had no injuries at all. ''Last time, I almost had a heart attack when I saw the missing right hand in the dream hall,'' He recalled the experience of not having his right hand back aftering back to his room in the dream and his heart still beats at an incredible speed. Even without the guardian''s skill from the dream hall, he would have lost his cool if his right hand didn''te back when he came out of the battle tower; however, he would not have taken his own life for the sake of his right hand. ''In this cultivation world, as long as I have enough power, I can find for treasures that can regenerate back a right hand,'' That''s right! As long as he had enough cultivation, he could venture deep into the Cursed Wilderness or go out of this Zrochester province. So, finally, everythinges down to power and strength. Ajax felt a little funny when he thought back to the time where he tried killing himself for the missing right hand. ''Anyway, I am back in one piece. I wonder, what is the reward for clearing the special-Dream hall? It should be greater than the rewards from the other halls, right?'' Soon, his focus fell onto the rewards from the ''Dream Hall''. ''Good rewards should be opened in thest,'' Even though he was very curious regarding the rewards from the ''Dream Hall'', he decided to check them out in the end because if he already opened the good rewards at the start then he would not be satisfied with any of the rewards after that. ''System show me the rewards I gained from the battle tower in an orderly manner of how I got them,'' He decided to check them in the order of how he cleared the halls. So, he asked the system to show them one by one in the same order. ''Ding, The reward for killing the true monstrous brown lizard is ''Special spirit beast food'' x 1. ''Huh? Special spirit beast food?'' As he ordered, the system revealed his first special reward from the battle tower that made him raise his brows. ''I already have lots of food for my spirit beasts and moreover, the spirit beast food is considered as a special reward,'' Ajax felt a little down because he didn''t expect he would get some spirit beast food in one of his special rewards. Spirit beast food was the verymon even in the?Zrochester province and sold in almost every shop making it very cheap. So, even though there was special in front of the spirit beast food, Ajax didn''t think much about it before asking the system, "System, show me the next reward." After asking that he rxed on his bed and waited for the system to show the next reward. ''Ding, Host, don''t you want to check ''Special spirit beast food?'' However, the system didn''t show another reward; instead, it asked him a question that made him a little curious regarding the special spirit beast food. ''Since the system shows such a special interest in this reward, let me see what is there in it,'' Ajax nodded his head as he focused on the ''Special spirit beast food''. ''Ding, Item name:- Special spirit beast food. Effects:- 1) 20 percent chance to increase the cultivation by an entire realm. 2) 10 percent chance to increase to awaken the same element type skills of that spirit beast. 3) 1 percent chance to awaken the domain. Limitations:- 1) Work better on the infant spirit beast. 2) Works only on the spirit beasts of rank 4 or lower than that. 3) Effects work for the first three consumptions for a specific spirit beast. Description:- A system''s special recipe after a detailed analysis of various spirit beasts to increase their battle powers and strength. Soon, rows of data appeared in front of him on a holographic screen that made him stop his breathing for a second because he didn''t expect that the spirit beast food that was avable everywhere in the Zrochester province could be improved to this level by the system. "This food has three effects that could make a normal spirit beast into a King realm spirit beast with just some luck," Ajax slowly read one effect after another one and digested the information he learned about the special spirit beast food. With each effect, Ajax felt that it was a custom made spirit beast food for his spirit beasts of which almost all of them were rank 4. ''But it has other limitation other than the rank of a spirit beast,'' Ajax shook his head; however, he was already satisfied with the effects of the special spirit beast food. ''As soon as a spirit beast consumes the spirit beast for the three times, it is almost guaranteed to increase its strength by one whole rank. And, there was some hope for the awakening of the special skills,'' Ajax thought silently a little deeper about the special spirit beast food and continued his thinking, ''Moreover, there is a small chance of awakening a domain. A True domain. So, it is not a bad reward.'' When he thought a little deeper, Ajax didn''t feel that the limitations were not that big whenpared to the benefits he was getting from the special spirit beast food. Moreover, Ajax felt that 1 percent of chance in awakening the domain was already a rare chance of his spirit beasts. So, he once again read the entire holographic screen once more to see whether he was missing something. Chapter 596 - Little Volcanic Pills

Chapter 596 - Little Volcanic Pills

Some might be wondering why Ajax was excited when there was only a 20, 10 and 1 percent chance of increasing the cultivation, awakening a special skill or a domain respectively after consuming the special spirit beast food, there was one limitation that made Ajax excited. ''Since a spirit beast can consume it for three times, then the chances will be tripled and reach 60, 30 and 3 percent respectively,'' When he thought a little deeper, this was what Ajax had found which made him happy. As for the domain, it was some kind of ability that only King realm cultivators would have and Ajax had only heard legends about these so-called domains. ''Just imagining a rank 4 or less than rank 4 spirit beasts having a domain that only king realm beings will have, is making my hair raise,'' Ajax still felt it was impossible for that to happen; however, with the system''s wonderful items, he felt it would be possible. ''Even though there is only 3 percent chance, if I try it, it''s possible a rank 4 spirit beast to possess a domain of its own,'' Ajax revealed a bright smile on his face after going through the prank made by the Elegant walker''s beautifuldy, who forcefully sent him to a special hall that looked almost real. "System, you are showing only one bag in the inventory. How many portions does it have?" ording to the normal spirit beast food, which was packed in some wild jute bags that could satisfy an average rank 4 spirit beast for a month. However, Ajax was almost confident that the special spirit beast food would not be that much as he knew about the system too well. ''Judging by the system''s past rewards, I can say it might have 3 portions or even less than that,'' Before the system could give a reply, Ajax controlled all his emotions and tried not to keep too many hopes on huge portions. ''Ding, The host currently has 9 portions of special spirit beast food. Soon, the system gave a reply that made Ajax very happy as he didn''t expect the system to be too generous this time. ''With these nine portions of the special spirit beast food, three of my spirit beasts can be benefited and in the future, I will get even more special spirit beast food,'' Ajax was pretty much satisfied with his first rewards from the battle tower as he kept inside the special spirit beast food back into his inventory. ''So, System, you can prepare your own recipes?'' It took a few moments for him to be normal from the happiness that came from the earlier reward and then he asked the system regarding what he had seen in the description of the ''Special spirit beast food''. ''Ding, The system can prepare its own recipes from the avable data in the world; however, the system will not give its recipes to anyone including the host. The system answered his question which made him didn''t understand whether he should cry orugh. ''who is asking for your recipes?'' Ajax scoffed at the system for its answer to his earlier question as he shook his head. "Anyway, show me my other rewards," After shaking his head for a while, Ajax asked the system to show the rewards from the other halls. ''Ding, From the magical hall, the host retrieved a ''Little volcano flower''. "So, it is the ''Little volcano flower''. Good, good," Ajax nodded his head at the system notification because he knew what this little volcano flower was and what it could do. Earlier, when he retrieved it from the ''Magical hall'', it disappeared as soon as he took the little flower into his hands. So, he was unable to figure out what the little flower he retrieved. ''Little volcano flower. It is used in the preparation of little volcanic pills that improves the body''s defensive power depending on the user''s body,'' Ajax recalled about the little volcanic pills that he learned from the alchemy knowledge that the system had sent to his head. ''However, my body is already tempered with fire and lightning elements. So, this little volcanic pills can''t help me anymore,'' Ajax sighed as he continued, "Moreover, these pills can only be used by humans." ''Anyway, I can refine for Senior brother Paulin and others to help them improve their bodies,'' There were no little volcanic pills in the Zrochester province. So, Ajax thought to use the little flower in his hand to refine pills for his friends and senior brother. ''But the thing is I need to find another main ingredient I hope I can find it in the market square,'' Ajax decided to take a trip to the mercenary guild''s market square as he wanted to find an ingredient for the refinement of the little volcanic pills. ''System, show me the next reward. Moreover, I have to enter the battle tower once again after checking my rewards,'' He didn''t waste any time as he asked the system to continue to show his rewards from the battle tower. The reason Ajax came out of the battle tower was to check his rewards from the battle tower to know whether the rewards he gained from the battle tower were worth it or not. Generally, for clearing the hall, a challenger would not get a reward except for the one-hit kill. Even that was also given for only one time. So, Ajax decided to get an idea about how valuable the rewards from the battle tower were and left the battle tower. At the same time, he thought it would regenerate his right hand. So, killing two birds in one shot. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the question tab. Please check. However, the system didn''t show the next reward; instead, it sent a notification that made Ajax surprised. ''It''s been a while since I got a new system mission. I wonder what it is,'' Ajax curiously opened the quest tab to see the newly generated system mission only to raise his brows. Chapter 597 - Summoning Scroll

Chapter 597 - Summoning Scroll

Ajax carefully studied the halographic screen in front of him about his new mission and it didn''t take much time to understand the system''s motive behind the newly generated system. ''So, it wants me to increase the strength of my allies like Edmond, Udo, Lewis, and others,'' Ajax felt funny regarding the new mission in which the reward section was empty. ''Ding, Mission name:- Build the strengths of the allies. Mission details:- Help the trusted allies in increasing their strength. Requirements:- 1) For the younger generation, it should be at least the General realm. 2) For Edmond''s generation, it should be at least the Elite general realm. Rewards:- ¡­. System Note:- There is definitely a reward for this mission. Ajax once again looked at the mission details; however, there was no clear idea regarding the missions; however, one thing was sure, all he had to do was increase the strength of people around him. ''But...'' Even though he didn''t mind increasing their strengths; however, he didn''t want others to be involved in his revenge. From this mission, Ajax could clearly see that the system was trying to involve Edmond and others in his revenge. So, he felt a little hesitant regarding this mission. ''If something happens to them, I can''t forgive myself,'' Ajax didn''t want someone to lose their life for his sake and if Edmond and others got involved in the fight against the assassin sect, then his chances of winning against the assassin sect would definitely increase to 100 percent; however, the losses would also increase along with it. ''I think it''s better to act alone as I will be morefortable when I act alone with my summons,'' Ajax already had a rough n on how to take down the assassin sect and it would only work if he acted alone. As for now, he decided to increase their strength but he didn''t have any ns of taking Edmond and others'' help to fight against the assassin sect. ''As for the rewards, they are the bonus,'' Ajax didn''t think much about the rewards for this mission as he didn''t even think much about the mission itself because he had already thought about using his alchemy skills to increase their strengths. "Anyway, I will have to wait until the recruitment-test from the ''Six Vagrant cultivators''," Ajax stopped thinking about the mission and the rted things as he once again started checking his rewards from the battle tower. ''There will be still two more rewards,'' In the battle tower, Ajax had cleared a total of four halls including the special dream hall which was not within Ajax''s expectations; nevertheless, he got a reward in that hall too. From each hall, he got a special reward excluding the Elegant walker''s hall. Where he got more than 2 special additional rewards, which he had an idea of those rewards except for one reward which he got from clearing the hall in the first attempt. Since he had already seen two rewards, it leaves 2 more special rewards, he had yet to check. So, he asked the system to show the remaining two special rewards without wasting any more time. ''Ding, A one-time summoning scroll from the Elegant walker''s hall. ''Ding, A Special ''Dream-resistant pill'' from the ''Special Dream Hall''. As soon as he said that, the system immediately revealed the two special rewards from the two halls. "Good," Ajax nodded his head because this time the system revealed the two items at once making him see what the rewards from the battle tower were. Soon, he focused on the item names and more information on them started appearing in front of him on the holographic screen. ''Ding, Item name:- A summoning scroll (One-time use) Effect:- When used, it can summon an Elegant walker that signed on that scroll with peak elite walker general realm strength and follows the user''s orders for five minutes before disappearing. ''Ding, Item name:- Dream-resistant pill (rank 4) Effects:- 1) The spirit consciousness is increased by 1000 units of the spirit consciousness capacity. 2) Can increase the resistance against any dream and spirit-type attacks and any of those types of attacks below the general realm will not have any effect on the consumer. "Holy heavens! Thest items are wonderful," Ajax didn''t have words to express how he was currently feeling after seeing the detailed information about thest two items and only said one word after taking some time. ''Maybe, the beautifuldy wille when I use the summoning scroll but I can''t use it to take revenge on her because if I used this summoning scroll correctly, then it will change the tides of a fight,'' After reading the effect of the summoning scroll, Ajax could guess who woulde out of the summoning scroll. It was the beautifuldy from the hall who hated Ajax to her core. At the same time, Ajax also had some anger on her; but he knew when to use the summoning scroll. So, he controlled his anger. ''Peak elite walker general realm is equivalent to the peak elite general realm which is considered as the powerhouse of the Zorchester province. So, I can start my n now,'' Ajax felt excited and he wanted to start his n of taking down the assassin sect as soon as possible because now he had a very valuable trump card that could save his life if anything goes wrong with his n. ''Sigh'' All of a sudden, he sighed to himself as he remembered something as he continued, "There are few things I need to do in a couple of days. I can start it after those things arepleted." In three more days, he had to attend the disciple-selection ceremony conducted by the ''Six Vagrant Cultivators'' and even more important thing that he had to meet Keshe in the middle section of the Cursed wilderness. So, he decided to start his n of taking down the assassin sect afterpleting these two events. Chapter 598 - Neil

Chapter 598 - Neil

"I hope, I hear some good news from big sister Keshe," Ajax really hoped to get some news about his friends from Keshe and he was eager for the remaining 3 days to be over soon. ''Anyway, since Ipleted checking the rewards, I should go back to the battle tower and clear the remaining 6 halls,'' As he had nothing to do outside, he decided to go back into the battle tower. Actually, he had some minor works such as going to the mercenary guild market square to buy some ingredients and help his allies in increasing their strength. However, he had postponed all those works to theter date after the disciple-selection ceremony was over. ''System, send me in¡­.,'' ''Knock Knock'' "Master," Just as he was about to order the system to send him into the battle tower, someone tapped on his door and called him. "Justice?" Ajax easily recognized the owner of the voice and he was surprised before opening the door. It''s been three days since he hadst seen him in his room aftering back from the cursed wilderness. Moreover, he had given Justice some missions before he entered the battle tower. So, he was surprised to see him in front of his room. "What happened Justice?" On Justice''s face, there was a worried look. So, Ajax asked Justice regarding what he was worried about. "Neil,e here and greet my master," However, Justice looked at his right-hand side and called for someone. ''Huh?'' Ajax looked in the direction and saw a young man that looked almost simr to Neil walking towards them and said, "Th..this is your brother?" "Yes, master. Neil is my little brother," Justice nodded his head as he informed Ajax about the young man who was walking towards them. "But what happened to his face? There are many bruises on it," However, there was something that made Ajax raise his brows because Justice''s brother was entirely covered with bruises and even his walking was a little forced. "It is disciples from the assassin sect," Justice clenched his fists as he replied to Ajax. "Huh? Isn''t your brother also an assassin sect disciple?" Ajax didn''t understand why Justice''s brother would be attacked by the assassin sect disciples since he was also a disciple of the assassin sect. "It is because of me, master. Since I didn''t return to the assassin sect, all the elders and disciples must have assumed I was dead. And my enemies started troubling my brother," Justice said with a sad look on his face thinking how much his little brother had suffered while he was gone away. "What about Elders and others. Don''t they care about their own disciple and allow the other disciples to bully a single disciple?" Ajax tossed a rank 4 healing pill at the young named Neil as he asked Justice regarding the working of the assassin sect. "Actually, in every top sect, the bullying of other disciples ismon; however, in the assassin sect it is at the peak as the sect doesn''t really care even if one of their students dies," Justice slowly replied about the assassin sect and thinking back to how he lived in the assassin sect, he felt embarrassed for a moment before thinking in his mind, ''I never bullied anyone with low cultivation.'' Thest sentence was for his pride because it was the truth as he neverid a hand on weaker cultivators. ''Looks like I have to change some ns regarding the assassin sect because that sect is even worse than I thought,'' Until now, Ajax had thought that he could kill some disciples of the assassin sect who hadmitted most bad things; however, now he finally found out the assassin sect never cared about their disciples much. "Anyway, take him to your room and make him rest. We will talkter," Suppressing all his thoughts, Ajax asked Justice to take him to his room to rest while he went back to his own room and closed the door. ''Yes, master,'' Justice nodded his head at the closed door and slowly took his brother to his room. "Brother Braylon, why are you calling him ''master''?" "Brother Braylon, why is your cultivation decreased?" "Did something happen to you?" "Or did he seal your cultivation and me you as his ve?" "Stopughing?and say something to me, brother," While Justice was taking his brother to his room, his little brother, Neil continued to ask many questions; however, for every question he asked his big brother, Neil got only a smile as a reply making him annoyed and irritated. As for why he called Justice as Braylon because it was his birth name which was changed by Ajax aftering out the trial conducted by the system by one of its features called ''Second chance'' "Just know that from now on my name is Justice and I havepletely changed just like how you wanted to see me," All of a sudden, Justice stopped in his tracks as he turned his head back to see his little brother Neil and replied with a small smile on his face. "Huh?" Neil raised his eyebrows as he didn''t believe his big brother hadpletely changed and turned into a good person because he said those words to him many times such that he lost hope from his big brother. ''However, he never scolded or hit me in all these years. As long as I am with my big brother, I don''t care whether he changed or not anymore,'' Without protection from his brother in the sect, he knew how cruel that world could be. Even those that praised him in the past would note forward to help him when someone bullies him. Even the elders and my own teacher felt I am a burden and said some harsh words while taking the cultivation resources that his brother had left for him. ''Anyway, my big brother is back and just like I believed he didn''t die in the cursed wilderness,'' Many thoughts moved in Neil''s head as he followed behind his big brother. Chapter 599 - Sect leader Gerg

Chapter 599 - Sect leader Gerg

When Justice previously known as Braylon didn''t return from the cursed wilderness and the sprint imprint on his spirit consciousness had disappeared, the entire assassin sect thought he was dead. Except for his little brother, Neil, who believed that Justice was still alive and he woulde back to him. When he was bullied by some of his fellow disciples, his brother came like a hero and protected him before taking Neil back with him. "Brother, your new name is cool," Neil came out of his thoughts and tried to talk something with his brother. "Haha..." Justice knew his little brother too well. So, when he heard those words from his little brother, Justice could not help butugh because his little brother just wanted to talk something with him. "So, you want to hear my story of how I ended up here?" Afterughing for a moment, Justice asked his little brother while still continuing their walk towards his room. "Yes, yes, yes. I want to hear it," Neil was very much curious regarding what happened to his brother. So, he excitedly nodded his head. "When I was away on a mission...," Soon, Justice started his story with his little brother Neil, who was carefully listening to it as though it was a lecture from a King realm cultivator. ...¡­. Inside Ajax''s room, While Justice and his little brother were walking towards their room, Ajax sat on his soft andfortable bed as he silently asked the system inside his head, ''System, what do you think about Justice''s little brother?'' Since he was an assassin sect disciple and he didn''t have full trust in any outsiders. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Currently, he didn''t have any ulterior motives towards the host. So, the host can be rxed. ''Good,'' Ajax nodded his head after seeing the system notification and stopped bothering about Neil any longer. ''His cultivation is already atmander realm and if I give him the system resources, then he will be the next senior brother Levi,'' The one thing he noticed about the consumable items given by the system, they work like magic on young cultivators whenpared to the middle-aged and older people. So, Ajax felt that if he could trust Neil, he could help him increase his cultivation. For example, he gave the monster peach to both Edmond and Levi; however,pared to Edmond, Levi had greatly benefitted from the effects of the monster peach. ''Anyway, let''s see what kind of person he is,'' Since Justice was his brother, Ajax had many ways of knowing what kind of person Neil was and he could simply ask some questions to know his personality. "It''s time to enter the battle tower. System, send me into the battle tower," Soon, he once again shifted his focus onto the battle tower and asked the system to send him into the battle tower. ''Thud'' Soon, his body fell onto the bed with his eyes closed. .... In the assassin sect main hall, "First elder, second elder, you two are very good," The main hall was filled with the nine hall elders along with the sect leader of the assassin sect Gerg. He looked at the first and second elders and scoffed at them for their actions during the past few months. "Sect leader, it''s not our fault but the headquarters is giving us silly missions which are almost impossible to aplish," The first elder didn''t fear the sect leader Gerg because he had already devised a n to overthrow the current sect leader and rece him as a new sect leader. So, he directly med the headquarters regarding the missions issued by them. "What? Do you want our assassin sect to be destroyed? Fool. If the word regarding our connection with the headquarters was gone to be known publicly, then other powers will not hesitate to destroy us and take all our resources," The reason for the top powers not to attack other powers was because of their secret support from their backer; however, once a top power loses that backer, then it was a piece of fat meat hanging in the open for other top powers. So, when he heard the first elder''s words, the sect leader Gerg stood up from his seat and angrily shouted at him. "Don''t shout at me," The first elder expressionlessly replied at the sect leader before moving back a couple of steps. There was no respect in the first elder''s words or in his bodynguage making the sect leader Gerg raise his brows. "Yes, sect leader. It was not our fault. So, please don''t get angry on the first elder or anyone here," One of the elders replied with minimum respect on his face as he bravely talked to the sect leader Gerg. "Haha" Hearing those words, the sect leader Gerg looked at that elder and then slowly looked at each and every face of the elders sitting in front of him before startingughing with a loud voice. "So, you all want to stick together and revolt against me? Good good good," The sect leader Gerb stoppedughing and while speaking everyone could notice how angry he was; however, no one feared because the first elder had said a n that would overthrow the sect leader Gerg. "So, the first elder wants to be the sect leader of the Assassin sect," It didn''t take much time for Gerg to guess what was behind the behaviour change in the elders because, among all the elders, only the first elder was capable of making others revolt against him with his words. "Sect leader Gerg, you have be old and you are unable to make suitable decisions to develop our sect. So, I think, it''s time for you to step down from your seat," There was a victory smile on the first elder''s face as he looked at the sect leader Gerb and replied to him. "It''s not that easy for you¡­." "How about now?" Before the sect leader Gerg could finish his words, the first elder took out something that made the sect leader Gerb raise his brows. Chapter 600 - Sect leader challenge token

Chapter 600 - Sect leader challenge token

The first elder took something that looked like a ck coloured wooden token with assassin sect symbol on it which was two cross daggers. ''Finally, the first elder is bringing his n into the action,'' ''Once he bes the sect leader, he said he will make our sries double along with a peak level artifact or weapon to each one of us,'' ''Even though he promised those things, I only support him because he is the most cunning one in the entire Zrocehster province. So, it''s better to support him; instead of standing against him.'' ''Let''s see what Sect leader Gerg will do,'' As soon as they saw the ck coloured wooden token in the first elder''s hands, all the elders started muttering with each other. Some of them supported the first elder whole-heartedly, some supported because of the rewards while others supported him because of fear. "Sect leader challenge token" As for the sect leader Gerg, he shook his head as he muttered the name of the token before continuing, "So, you want to challenge me? With your strength? Haha." After shaking his head at the first elder for a moment, the sect leader Gerg startedughing uncontrobly making the first elder and others frown. ''Huh? Why is heughing? Did he think I didn''t have sufficient trump cards to defeat him in the duel?'' The first elder felt something was wrong with the sect leader Gerg''sugh. Although it was a fact that the first elder was weaker than the sect leader Gerg, the first elder had fully prepared for this day. So, he was confident in defeating the sect leader Gerg and bing the new sect leader of the Assassin sect. "You canugh all you want, sect leader Gerg. Once the duel starts you will see what will happen to you," the first elder scoffed at the sect leader Gerg as he dropped a single drop of his blood onto the ck coloured wooden token in his hands. "I, the first elder of the assassin sect wants to challenge the current sect leader Gerg as I find he was ipetent in managing the sect. I summon all the guardians of the sect here to overseer the duel between us," As soon as he dropped his blood onto the wooden token, the first elder started shouting in a loud voice calling some guardians. "Not bad, not bad" Hearing the first elder''s words, the sect leader Gerg nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "Once the duel starts, you will know how good I am," The first elder replied with a scoff on his face and waited for the so-called guardians toe. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" They didn''t wait much time before a five silhouettes came from the outside andnded on the long table in the center of the main hall. "Five Guardians" As soon as they saw who those five silhouettes belonged to, everyone in the main hall bowed and greeted the five masked old men in ck robes. "We don''t have much time. Start the duel now," All the five old men nodded their heads at the people in the main hall before looking at the first elder and the sect leader Gerg and asked them to start the duel. "Yes, guardians," the first elder nodded his head and looked at the sect leader Gerg because asking, "Are you ready, sect leader Gerg?" Actually, it was a tradition in the assassin sect that if the first elder, the second powerful person after the sect leader, was dissatisfied with the sect leader, then he could challenge that sect leader to a duel. In the duel, if he wins then the first elder would be the sect leader whereas the previous sect leader would join the guardians and he would not be involved in the sect''s internal matters anymore. All he had to do was secluded himself in a cave and whenever the sect was in danger, he had to protect it along with the other guardians. "Haha...I give up," However, unexpected to everyone''s expectations, the sect leader Gerg raised his hands and gave up. "What are you doing, Sect leader Gerg?" All the five guardians asked him at the same time as though they were machines. "Since our first elders want to manage the sect, then so be it. Anyway, the assassin sect will notst for much longer without the support of the headquarters," The sect leader Gerg pulled back his chair andzily sat in it while looking at the five old men on the table. "What?" "The headquarters stoppedmunicating with us?" "This is bad." "And you, the first elder, want to have an internal conflict at a time like this? Shame on you," At first, they were shocked to learn the fact that the assassin sect had lost contact with the headquarter and when they looked at the first elder, they were disgusted at him. Because, just like the sect leader Gerg said, it was a tough time for them to survive without the support of the headquarters and the first elder was trying to rebel when the current sect leader had many tensions regarding the sect. "The duel will not be valid any longer," Soon, the five guardians knew that the sect leader Gerg was the only one who could manage the sect well at times like these and the new sect leader like the first elder would be a bad choice. So, they didn''t hesitate to cancel the duel. "What? How can you do this? I have the sect leader challenge token with me," The first elder became anxious and angry at the same time and hurriedly took out the ck-coloured wooden token. ''Snap'' "We are yet to finish talking. Stay silent," One of the old men snapped his fingers and the first elder became silent and another old man started speaking, "As for the first elder, he will be sentenced to the ''Exiled cave'' under our assassin sect." While the old man was talking, the entire hall was very silent which made the old man''s words resounded in the main hall. Chapter 601 - Invalid Duel

Chapter 601 - Invalid Duel

''Thud'' As soon as he heard those words, the first elder fell onto his chairs with lifeless eyes. He lost all the hope toplete his dreams of bing the sect leader of the Assassin sect. ''No, it''s all his fault,'' ''He knew that the guardians will support him, that''s why intentionally brought the headquarters topic,'' ''As long as I kill him, I will their only choice for bing the sect leader,'' When a cultivator was at the most hopeless situation, their mind tends to turn crazy and soon, the first elder started losing his sanity as he eyed the sect leader Gerg as his prey. ''I didn''t expect the same thing that brought me here today was the reason for my dreams to be spoiled,'' The first elder clenched his fists as he silently thought to himself. A few days back, he used the suddenmunication cut-off with the headquarters to gain the support of the elders and now, for the same reason, his duel was cancelled even without a single thought by the guardians of the sect. With each thought, the first elder was turning crazily and finally decided to kill the sect leader Gerg. ''Die'' As soon as he got that thought, he immediately took a ck dagger out of thin air and moved at the sect leader Gerg with an incredible speed. "What a fool," However, the sect leader Gerg did nothing and allowed the first elder to attack him. ''Die'' Just when the dagger was about to prate into the sect leader Gerg''s abdomen, the first elder automatically fell to the ground. That''s it. That was the final fall of the first elder where he was killed by his own sect''s guardian. ''What? The first elder died just like that?'' ''What is the use of having such a great n when things didn''t go as they nned?'' ''I hope, the sect leader Gerg will not make things difficult for me,'' As soon as the first elder died, the remaining elders muttered to themselves in a low voice. Among all the elders, the second elder was very anxious because he was very close to the first elder. So, he just hoped that the sect leader Gerg would not make things difficult for him in the sect. "Sect leader Gerg, you have to try your best and make us powerful. As for themunication with the headquarters, let''s forget it for now." "Yes, it''s impossible to talk to them when they already stoppedmunicating with us," "We have trust in you, sect leader Gerg. Just do your best and if any other sects attacks us, the first sect will definitely be destroyed along with us," After killing the first elder, the old men started speaking one after another at a very fast face; however, the sect leader Gerg was able to listen carefully to each and every word. "Thanks for having trust in me, guardians," the sect leader Gerg stood up from his chair and revealed a smile while giving them a bow. "Everyone, follow the instructions of the sect leader Gerg and if any of you try to do something funny, that day will be yourst day. Do you understand?" The old men nodded their heads at the sect leader Gerg and then looked at the remaining elders before giving warning to them. All the guardians were once a sect leader of the assassins sect. So, they knew how many troubles a sect leader would face and those below him who always eye the sect leader chair and do anything in their power to get it. So, they gave all the elders a warning because it was not the time for having some internal conflicts. "We will never disobey the orders of the sect leader Gerg," As soon as they heard the warning from one of the guardians, all the elders hurriedly bowed to the guardians and replied with a tone full of respect. "Good" All the five masked old men nodded their heads as though they were satisfied with the change in their attitude. Some might think they were overthrown by the first elder of their time; however, it was sect time in the entire assassin sect''s history and even the first time when the first elder challenged the sect leader of that time, he was utterly defeated and was thrown into the exiled cave under the assassin sect. "Okay then. We will take our leave now," Since they hadpleted their work, they decided to leave the main hall. ''Sect leader Gerg'' ''Sect leader Gerg'' Just as the five masked old men were about to leave the main hall, a middle-aged man rushed into the main hall with excitement all over his face. "What happened? If it is not an important thing, then I will kill you," The sect leader Gerg frowned because of the sudden entry of a servant into the main hall when the five guardians were still in the room. So, he warned the servant if the news was not an important one, he would kill him. The five old men also waited for the servant to ry the so-called important news and patiently looked at him. "Yes, sect leader Gerg. It is rted to the headquarters," There was not even a slight fear on the servant''s face as he excitedly replied to the sect leader and others. "What is it? Say it already," "Yes. Don''t keep us in suspense and say it already," The sect leader Gerg and the old men''s interest piqued when they heard it was rted to the headquarters. As for the servant that came with the excitement all over his face, he looked at the five old men, who were standing on the long table and silently thought, ''Who are these people. They even stood up on the table in front of the sect leader Gerg.'' He was unable to recognize the five old men because they were wearing masks; however, he knew that they were from the assassin sects judging by their robes and said, "Themunication with the headquarters is back." Chapter 602 - Special Effect

Chapter 602 - Special Effect

Inside the battle tower, In the Horned Nether hog''s hall, ''Another familiar hall...Nice,'' After entering the battle tower for the second, Ajax entered a familiar hall in which he was confident in the clearing. ''Moreover, I know how to get an additional reward from this hall,'' Ajax was excited regarding this hall because he had already figured a way to get additional rewards from this hall. ''Wait a second. Why am I feeling my right hand empty,'' Ajax hurriedly looked at his right hand; however, it was still missing. "Why? Why didn''t it grow back?" Ajax felt a little anxious because he thought that he would be in his top condition when he returned back to the battle tower. ''Ding, The host didn''t die in the battle tower yet. Only when he dies, the next time he enters the battle tower then he will regain his right hand. Soon, the system came to his rescue in clearing his doubts about why hs right hand was still missing. "So, until then, I have to clear the halls with my single hand?" Ajax bitterlyughed as he asked the system regarding his situation. ''Ding, Yes, host. If you don''t like being a single-handed person in the battle tower. Just kill yourself and wait for one month to re-enter the battle tower. Once again the system sent a notification that was asking Ajax to kill himself. "If I can re-enter the battle tower with 5000-10000 units of the essence of nature, then I would have killed myself; however, the system will make things difficult for me to enter the battle tower," Last time, when he re-sent Volcanis into the battle tower, he had to pay 5000 units of the essence of nature; however, at the same time, the system warned that the next time he uses the re-entry option, he would have to pay more than that. So, he didn''t bother to kill himself and looked at the huge hornedher hog which was staring at him with red-eyes. ''Roar'' As for the Hornedher hog, it roared at Ajax, who had just entered its hall and without wasting any time, it used its powerful skill. ''Swoosh'' ''swoosh'' As soon as it used its powerful skills, many smallher hogs appeared in the hall. "So, you want to finish it in a quick manner...Good," Ajax also didn''t want to waste any time as he took out a Nether hog''s longhorn and started blowing into it. ''Coo'' A sound from the longhorn made the smallher hogs rush towards Ajax at an incredible speed making him anxious. ''What the hell! Where are myher hogs?'' Looking at the many rushingher hogs, Ajax anxiously cursed hisher hogs which were yet to appear in front of him. Initially, he thought that he would summon hisher hogs to fight the summons of the hornedher hog. By doing so, he could get an additional reward if he cleared the hall just like how the three-eyed ghost fox got an extra reward that was rted to summoning. So, Ajax wanted to try the same method; however, even after he blew the longhorn, his 5 rank 4her hogs didn''t appear in front of him. Moreover, the enemy summons were angered by the sound from the longhorn and rushed at him making him anxious. ''So what if I don''t get an additional reward? My aim is to enter the secondyer,'' Soon, Ajax shook his head as he summoned a spear and held it in his single hand. "I will kill you with brute force," Ajax didn''t move from his ce as he was morefortable in attacking from a stable position and waited for the rushing smallher hogs toe near to him. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' . . However, before they could even reach him, Ajax''s summonedher hogs from the longhorn appeared in between him and many smallher hogs. "Finally, you came. Good," Looking at the five huge rank 4her horned in front of him, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, The Hornedher hog''s longhorn''s special effect is triggered, ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed one enemy rank 4her hog. ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed 10 enemy rank 3her hogs. ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed 100 enemy rank 2her hogs Just when he thought that the rushing smallher hogs jumped to their death in the ws of hisher hogs, they halted in their step all of a sudden and turned their face towards the hall guardian as though it was their energy. At first, Ajax didn''t understand what was happening; however, with the system notifications, he was able to understand and had gained a clear understanding of what had happened. "So, is thisher hog stays permanent with me or just one time?" Ajax asked the system with some anticipation in his voice. ''Ding, They stay with the host until the longhorn is destroyed. Just like the 5 rank 4her hogs, they enter the longhorn when the host doesn''t have any need with them. "Excellent. With theseher hogs, my army increased even more," Ajaxughed as he looked at the hugeher hog which was angrily looking at him with its red-eyes. "Why are you angry? I only took 111 of your summons. It''s not even 10 percent of your entire army," Ajax jokingly said to the hall guardian as he looked at other summons of the hall guardian. That''s right! Even though Ajax was unknowingly able to tame some of the enemyher hogs, there were still many hogs on the opposite side. ''Roar'' When the huge long hornedher hog saw that a participant was able to tame some of its summons, it became even angrier and roared at Ajax and its summons and at the same time ordered its summons to kill everyone standing opposite to them. e. Let''s see whose summons are stronger," Ajax also ordered his summons to start fighting at their full strength. Chapter 603 - Increasing the army

Chapter 603 - Increasing the army

''Roar'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' The fight between Ajax''s summons and the hornedher hog''s summons was started and both sides started killing each other. As for the summoners, both of them just looked at each other and from time to time, they would look at their summons. ''Should I use the longhorn once again?'' Looking at how few his summons were in front of the hornedher hog''s summons, Ajax was tempted to blow the longhorn once again. Even though Ajax''s summons were around 10 percent of the entire hornedher hog''s army, with the help of Ajax''s ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' his summons were able to fight them and maintained a steady ground for themselves. ''Let''s try it. There is nothing harm in trying it once again,'' Finally, Ajax decided to try it as there were no side effects in blowing the longhorn anyway. Moreover, if he could get a few moreher hogs, then the fight would be over within no time. That''s right! Ajax wants to take some more enemyher hogs into his army. ''Cooo'' Without wasting any time, Ajax blew the longhorn to check whether he could convert a few moreher hogs into his army. ''Huh? No effect?'' However, there was no response from the energyher hogs which made Ajax shook his head and thought to himself, ''Maybe I will only work for the first time. But, still, let''s see.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t keep the longhorn inside his inventory; instead, he continued to blow it at the top of his lungs. ''Cooo'' ''Cooo'' The sound from the longhorn continued to resound in the hall; however, there was no reaction from any of the enemy''sher hogs. ''Uff...uff...uff'' Even Ajax was out of breath with the continuous blowing of the longhorn. ''Looks like it will not work,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he saw there was no reaction from theher hogs and he decided to give up. ''Huh?'' Just when he was about to give up, he noticed someher hogs stopped fighting his ownher hogs and started attacking the enemyher hogs. ''Ding, The Hornedher hog''s longhorn''s special effect is triggered, ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed one enemy rank 4her hog. ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed 5 enemy rank 3her hogs. ''Ding, The host sessfully tamed 50 enemy rank 2her hogs Along with the scene in front of him, Ajax also got the system notifications to make him smile. ''Ding, The host used 90 percent of the essence of nature from his spirit consciousness. Please use the remaining one with care. Along with previous system notification, Ajax got another system notification that made him clutch his heart. "So this is the cost of continuously blowing the longhorn," Ajax nearly fell to the ground when he read the system notification and asked the system, "Why do you always like to give shocks, my dear system." Actually, he didn''t expect that the longhorn would suck all his essence of nature from his spirit consciousness. If he had known it, he would not have used the longhorn. "Now, I don''t have a right hand, only 10 percent of the essence of nature and mental tiredness. With these three disadvantages, I wonder how many halls I can clear," With theck of essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, there was an additional disadvantage for him in the battle tower. So, he didn''t keep many hopes of clearing more than a single hall in the battle tower. "Anyway, at least I have to clear this hall; otherwise, it is a loss for me," Ajax clenched his fists as he looked at the battle between theher hogs. ''w'' ''Roar'' ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' The fight was intense between theher hogs and the summoners from both sides motivated and encouraged their summoners. ''Roar'' The hornedher hog roared as a support for its summons whereas Ajax closed his eyes and circted his main cultivation technique ''The Heaven and Earth refining technique'' to increase his essence of nature and from time to time, he shouted, "You can do it." Actually, more than his words, his bloodline was working on theseher hogs like magic and the five rank 4her hogs almost reached the peak rank 4 in strength that was around the same as the hornedher hog. Most of the enemy''sher hogs were taken care of by these 5 rank 4her hogs. "Roar" Soon, the hornedher hog''s summons were all killed by Ajax''s summons and the mainher hog roared at Ajax as though it was saying something to him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully clearing the hall. ''Ding, The hornedher hog left behind something for the host. Please pick it. ''Ding, Do you want to move to the next hall? As soon as he opened his eyes, Ajax received their system notification and the huge hall guardian started disappearing from the hall. ''Please please please,'' Ajax didn''t bother about the disappearing hornedher hog and hurriedly rushed towards it and started searching for something. ''Shine'' ''Here, it is,'' Soon, he found something shining in the mud and hurriedly picked it up. ''Ding, Found a single drop of hornedher hog''s blood essence. As soon as he picked it up, the system informed him about the item he picked up. "Even if you didn''t inform me, I already know about it," Ajax already knew about it item because he was waiting for the item to be dropped so that he could increase the battle prowess of his summons. ''Let''s see, how much percent it will be increased,'' Soon, Ajax focused on the small shining crystal in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Hornedher hog''s blood essence. (Consumable) Effect:- Increases the battle prowess of all the summons by 2 percent. Note:-Not transferable to others. "What? Only 2 percent? System, you are cheating again," Aja was shocked when he saw the effect of the blood essence and hurriedly asked the system about it. Chapter 604 - Azure Wind Dragon

Chapter 604 - Azure Wind Dragon

Previously, when his three-eyed ghost had cleared this hall with the help of his summons, he had got the same item as the reward. However, unlike his reward, the ghost fox''s reward could increase the battle powers of his summons by 5 percent. So, Ajax felt it was cheating. ''Ding, The rewards from clearing the hall are always not the same. ''Sigh'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax shook his head as he thought, ''Maybe clearing the halls will have a higher chance of getting good rewards.'' The reason he thought like that was that he already knew the difficulties of the hall which decreased his reward. "Anyway, let it be," Ajax nodded his head as he looked at his new army of theher hogs and said to the system, "System, send me to the next hall.'' He knew he could not argue with the system with the lower percent of the increase in the battle prowess of his summons. So, he decided to go to the next hall. ''Swoosh'' Soon, his body started disappearing along with hisher hogs army. ''Ding, The host''sher hogs are going back into the longhorn. They need at least 24 hours before they could be summoned out of it. Just before hepletely disappeared from hornedher hog''s hall, Ajax received a system notification informing him about his newly formedher hog army. "Th...this is¡­," In the next second, Ajax appeared in front of a familiar door. Looking at the azure colour door in front of him, Ajax started stammering and could not even finish his sentence. ''Maybe, it''s time for me to be kicked out of the battle tower,'' At the same time, Ajax lost all his hopes in clearing the hall in front of him and fell into a dilemma whether he should give it a try or just leave from there on his own ord. Because the hall in front of him was where his lightning elemental spirit, Cerauno was killed even before he entered the hall. ''If I left on my own ord, then I can attempt to clear this hall once I recover¡­.wait a second,'' Just as he was to decide to leave the battle tower, Ajax sudden;y remembered something and looked at his right hand. "The guardian in this hall is very powerful. I can''t kill him without my right hand. Moreover, I can''t even summon my own summons except for theher hogs which are currently resting," Ajax started to think about his current situation and finally decided to die in the battle tower. "Since I am dying anyway, at least I should try to see who is the guardian in this hall," Ajax clenched his left hand as he pushed the huge door in front of him. ''Zap'' ''Puchi Puchi'' As soon as he opened the door, a heavy gust of wind came from inside the hall and shed his body into pieces. ''Ding, The host got killed in the battle tower. ''Ding, The host can''t enter the battle tower for another month. As he conscious was dispersing out of the battle tower, Ajax heard a couple of system notifications but he didn''t bother with them as he remained silent as he was pondering about something. "Is it a dragon? The door of the hall is azure colour and it was killed by the gusts of the winds," That''s right! Ajax was pondering about what he had seen in the hall just before he was killed by the gusts of wind. The inside of the hall was filled with azure smoke and in that smoke, Ajax noticed a silhouette that almost resembles a dragon; however, he was not sure it was a dragon. Nevertheless, with his deductions, Ajax guessed that the guardian of the hall was legendary guardian dragon Azure wind dragon. Azure wind dragon was considered one of the ancient dragons that guarded the Zrochester province in the past; however,ter it was rumoured that it was killed by someone that came from who knows where. It was said that with the death of the azure wind dragon, the attacks from the demon world increased in the Zrochester province. "I should definitely clear the hall at any cost," Thinking that a legendary spirit beast was in the firstyer of his battle tower, Ajax was excited and eager to enter the battle tower once again. ''Aargh'' Within no time, Ajax''s real body opened his eyes and at the same time, he felt pain all over his body as though someone was hitting his body with some kind of hammer. ''No wonder, every one of my summons that died in the battle tower, didn''t wake up as soon as they came out of the battle tower,'' Enduring the pain, Ajax silently thought in his head about his summons. "System, how much do I need to pay in order to enter the battle tower now?" Since he was eager to try the battle tower, he wanted to know the price for the re-entry into the battle tower within a month. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 15000 units of the essence of nature to re-enter the battle tower. Soon, the system answered his question as though it was very much eager to collect that 15000 units of the essence of nature. "It''s a daylight robbery, system. It was only 5000 units of the essence of naturest time," Ajax angrily shouted at the system notification; however, soon he shook his head as he knew that the system would not give a reply. "I don''t even have 10000 units of capacity in my spirit consciousness. How can I pay 15000 units?" Ajax calmed down a little as he logically spoke with the system. ''Ding, The host can pay in three instalments of 5000 units each. When the host finishes the third instalment, then the cool down time for the host in the battle tower will be removed. "Good...good...good," Ajax said ''Good'' three times before rxing on the bed as he stopped thinking about the battle tower. Chapter 605 - Green Shelled Spirit Turtle Chapter 605 - Green Shelled Spirit Turtle Ajax was neither angry nor happy with the system''s reply because paying in three instalments was affordable for him. Once he entered the cursed wilderness and killed some spirit beasts, he could fill his spirit consciousness; however, Ajax didn''t like unnecessary killings. ''Unless someone tries to kill me or if they are doing bad things, I can kill them without any mercy; however¡­.sigh,'' Ajax could not even finish his thinking as he sighed. "I will simply use my Heaven and Earth refining technique to increase my essence of nature," Currently, he didn''t have much use for the essence of nature because he could increase his cultivation realm bypleting the missions. So, Ajax decided not to kill the spirit beasts unnecessarily. There was another reason he was not in a hurry to enter the battle tower. He didn''t have high confidence in clearing the hall with his current strength. So, he decided to wait till his strength increased and then re-enter the battle tower. "System, send my summons one after another," Ajax gave an order to the system to take care of the battle tower. Since he wanted to maximize the use of the system, he gave full control over the battle tower to the system. ''Ding, ess to the battle tower is transferred to the system. With the confirmation from the system, Ajax nodded his head and thought, "It''s time to consume the rewards." Since he had nothing to do for the next three days, Ajax decided to consume the consumable rewards he gained from the battle tower. "First, I will consume the hornedher hog''s blood essence and after that dream resistant pills," With a n in his head, he silently asked the system, "System, give me the blood essence." Just as he asked the system, Ajax felt some unfamiliar fluctuations from the inner world that made him frown. "Is someone entering the inner world?" Ajax thought someone was trying to enter his inner world; however, he rejected that idea because it was impossible for someone to enter his inner world unless they had Ajax''s spirit imprint. ''Let''s see,'' Without wasting any time, Ajax entered his inner world in his spirit consciousness form. ''Aargh'' He forgot about the pain he was experiencing for a moment; however when he entered the inner world in his spirit consciousness form, the pain was greater than earlier. ''Damn it. From now on, I should not die in the battle tower. It is more painful than I thought,'' Ajax swore not to die in the battle tower anymore and while enduring the pain, he moved towards where he felt the unfamiliar fluctuations. "Huh? They areing from the mini thunder pool," He was surprised at the location where the fluctuations wereing from and suddenly remembered something. "That''s right! The fluctuations must be from the egg I kept in the mini thunder pool," Recalling the egg he stored in the pool, Ajax was excited and increased his speed towards the pool. "The spirit turtle ising out," he carefully looked at the egg at the bottom of the thunder pool, which had cracks all over it. The water in the mini-thunder pool was very clear. So, Ajax was able to see the eggs without any problems. ''Are those yin yang fishes trying to increase the purity of the essence of nature around the egg?'' Moreover, he also saw the yin-yang fishes keep on circling around that egg and purified the essence of nature in that area. He bought the spirit turtle egg in the dimensional crevice in exchange for the mini-thunder pools water. After buying it, he simply kept it in the mini-thunder pool and allowed it to hatch on its own. ''Kacha'' Even though the egg was in the water, Ajax was able to hear the hatching of the egg as he was connected to the inner world which heightened his senses. Soon, a small green-shelled tortoise came out of the egg and swam towards Ajax and within no time, it came out of the mini thunder pool. "Oh. It''s fast," Ajax was shocked by the swimming speed of the small green turtle and moved toward it before picking it into his hands. ''Show me theplete information regarding this turtle,'' Havingplete knowledge of his summons was his habit. As he already had a contract with the spirit turtle even before it hatched, Ajax decided to check about it. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Green Shelled Spirit Turtle Cultivation:- No cultivation (Just born) Skills:- None Bloodline none:- None Description:- As long as it is well fed and taken care of from its enemies, it will definitely reach the King realm or rank 7 without any additional resources; however, it will be very slow and might take centuries. Soon, a long halographic screen appeared in front of him and almost everything was nk. However, he was shocked when he read the description of the turtle. "Holy heavens. It will reach the king realm without any resources. But it will take really very long," Ajax continued to think as he finally came to a conclusion, "So what? As long as I give it the resources, it''s cultivation will be fastened." With that thought in his mind, he lightly tapped the shell of the turtle. "So, do you want to eat something?" Recently he got a special spirit beast food. So, he asked the turtle whether it wanted to eat something. "Right! You are less than an hour old. So, you can''t even speak," With a light chuckle, Ajax summoned the special spirit beast food from his inventory. "System, give me exactly one portion of the food," Since he only had 9 portions of the spirit beast food in total, he asked the system to give only one portion. "Swoosh" As soon as he asked the system, a green-coloured pill appeared in his hand making Ajax raise his brows. "Huh? What is this? Is this one portion?" Ajax was confused as he asked the system about the pill in his hand. Chapter 606 - Necros Side Effect Is Gone? Chapter 606 - Necros'' Side Effect Is Gone? Ajax never imagined even in his dreams that the special spirit beast food would be a pill. So, he asked the system for confirmation. ''Ding, Yes. The system only gave a single word reply which made Ajax shake his head and made him think, ''Whatever, as long as the spirit turtle gets the benefits of the special spirit beast food.'' Ajax didn''t mind the quantity of the special spirit beast food and ced the small pill in front of the small spirit turtle on his hand. ''I hope it awakens any one of the three effects after eating the special spirit beast food,'' ording to the system, if a spirit beast awakens the effect on its first time eating the special spirit beast food then the remaining two portions would not have any effect on that specific spirit beast. That''s the reason why he hoped the spirit turtle would awaken any effects on its first portion of the special spirit beast food. Moreover, Ajax had another reason for allowing the newly born spirit turtle to eat the special spirit beast food when he had other spirit beasts. It was the lower the spirit beast''s cultivation the chances of getting benefited from the special spirit beast food was higher. ''Nom nom'' Soon, the small spirit turtle started eating the pill in front of it without wasting any time. "Huh? It fell asleep?" After eating the small pill in front of it, the spirit turtle entered into its shell as though it was sleeping. ''Ding, The green shelled spirit turtle is entering into a deep sleep and it requires a minimum of five days before it sessfully absorbs the whole energy from the special spirit beast food. "What? So, now I need to wait for at least 5 days?" To his question, the system gave a reply that made Ajax disappointed. Ajax wanted to see the results of the special spirit beast food; however, now he had to wait for a few days to know the result. "Okay, little one. You sleep here," Since he could not forcefully speed up the time, he decided to go out of the inner world and do his own work. So, he ced the small spirit turtle at the edge of the mini-thunder pool. ''Everyone is working very hard to increase their strengths. I should do the same,'' After cing the spirit turtle on the ground, Ajax nced his surroundings and observed all his summons were working very hard to increase their strength. So, his motivation received a boost looking at his summons. Golem was fertilizing his medicinal field beside him, the father golden bear king helping the baby golden bear king on how to attack the enemies. The snow lion was still sleeping and the energy fluctuations around its body were increasing with each passing second. "Maybe, it will finish the re-cultivation in a day or so," Ajax felt happy for the snow lion family because the re-cultivating process was a life-changing event for a spirit beast. Since he was connected to the inner world, he didn''t miss a single thing that was happening in the inner world. "Maybe not all of them are hard-working," However, soon his gaze fell on theziest spirit beast under him and shook his head. It was none other than the Twilight destructive dragon which waszily rolling on the ground. However, he didn''t disturb it and allowed it to bezy as it just came out of the battle tower a couple of hours ago. "System, how much time is left for Necro to wake up from his sleep?" Next, he thought of Necros, who was still asleep and asked the system about his health condition. In the battle tower, Necros used the strength potion to temporarily increase his strength and as a side-effect, he had to rest for one month; however, with the help of the mini-dark abyss, the side-effect time for Necros was supposed to decrease a little. ''Ding, Necros already recovered from the side-effect a couple of days ago. Currently, he was trying to break through to the elemental spirit general realm. Note:- It''s better not to disturb Necros from his seclusive cultivation. "What? Excellent," Finally, Ajax heard some good news from the system and he became excited as Necros was his strongest elemental spirit before he consumed the strength potion. Moreover, Necros had some cool skills. So, he hoped that Necros would break through to the elemental spirit general realm and awaken another cool skill. "Volcanis, Cerauno, Bane and Necros. All these elemental spirits are just an inch away from reaching the elemental spirit general realm. As long as they get a little support they can easily break through," He looked at the four elemental spirits which were seriously cultivating in different directions and thought in his head. ''Anyway, I will wait for theing events to be over then decide what to do with these elemental spirits,'' As the owner of those elemental spirits, he had to continuously provide resources and help them in their cultivation. So, he thought to do something for them after the disciple-selection ceremony by the six vagrant cultivators. ''Swoosh'' He didn''t disturb any of his summons and silently left from the inner world. ''Back to eating,'' Before entering the inner world, he was supposed to consume theher hog''s blood essence to increase the battle powers of his summons by 2 percent. So, as soon as he returned back to his room from the inner world, he decided to eat it. ''I hope, it is tasty,'' ''Plop'' Closing his eyes, he tossed the small red-coloured bead into his mouth hoping that it was tasty. Even if it was not tasty, he would have consumed it because he was not too picky when ites to increasing his or his summons'' strength. ''Huh? It''s sweet,'' Maybe heaven took pity on him or something like that, the small red-coloured bead turned out to be sweet, making him close his eyes and enjoy the sweetness from it. ''Aargh'' Chapter 607 - Paulins new elemental spirits

Chapter 607 - Paulin''s new elemental spirits

''Aargh'' Just when he thought everything was going well, a sudden sharp pain came from the spirit consciousness that made him groan in pain. He was already having a hammer-hitting pain all over his body and along with the sharp pain in his spirit consciousness, Ajax''s face waspletely covered in sweat and his breathing became heavy. ''I can do it,'' Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth as he continued to endure the pain while thinking of the benefits he would get after his body absorbs the energy of the hornedher hog''s blood essence. ''Phew...finally the pain in the spirit consciousness disappeared along with the hammer-hitting pain from my body,'' The painsted for only a couple of minutes but for Ajax, it felt like hours as his face waspletely covered in sweat. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, from now on all his summons will receive a 2 percent increase in their battle prowess whenever they fight. Soon, the system notification which Ajax was waiting for had appeared in front of him. "Even mosquito meat is a meat," Looking at the 2 percent increase on the halographic screen, Ajax consoled himself. "I have been staying in my room for thest three days. I think it''s better to take a walk around the squad building and see what others are up to. Aftering back, I still have the dream resistant pill to consume," Ajax wanted to breathe some fresh air before consuming the dream resistant pill because his body had endured so much pain already and consuming the dream resistant pill would definitely make him endure even more pain because it would increase 1000 units of the spirit consciousness'' capacity. So, he put that on hold for now before standing up from his soft bed and stretched his body a little and came out for a little walk. "Huh? Senior brother Paulin?" As soon as he came out of his room, he was surprised to see Paulin, who also just came out of his room. Last time Ajax saw Paulin, he was injured and was in aa; however, now Paulin looked all energetic and his eyes were bright. "Hello, Ajax. How are you?" Paulin also noticed Ajax and greeted him with a smile on his face. "I am good. Did your injuries heal already?" Ajax asked while carefully observing Paulin. However, there was not even a scratch on Paulin making him happy. "Yes, Ajax. All my injuries are healed. Thanks for helping me out in the cursed wilderness," When they were in the Cursed wilderness, Ajax was the one who saved him. So, Paulin was very grateful to him. "No need to say thanks, Senior brother Paulin. As long as you are fine, it''s good," Ajax was happy because Paulin finally recovered from his injuries because he got those injuries while trying to protect him. "By the way, senior brother Paulin, you look very happy today. Is there some reason?" Ajax asked the reason for Paulin''s happiness as he was curious about it. "Haha" In reply to Ajax''s question, Paulin startedughing as he continued, "I am happy because I broke through to the General realm." Paulin was unable to control his happiness because he never expected he would reach the general realm before 20 years. So, of course, he would be happy with his cultivation. "Woah. Congrattions to you, senior brother Paulin," Ajax hurriedly congratted Paulin when he heard Paulin''s words before asking, "How did it happen?" As always, Ajax was curious about the sudden increase in Paulin''s cultivation and he asked about it, ''I know I hide my secrets from others but I could not control asking about the secrets of others,'' It wasmon human nature for someone to know about others'' secret of sudden rising to fame. Ajax was no different than others regarding this matter. "It''s all thanks to the reward from the never-returning cave. After I formed an official contract with 2 elemental spirits, I automatically broke into the general realm," Even Paulin didn''t have a clear idea of how he reached the general realm; however, he rted it to him bing an official summoner with the help of the Zanath from the never-returning cave. "What? You already formed a contract with two more elemental spirits? Holy heavens," Ajax never expected that Paulin would form an official contract with two elemental spirits within such a short time; moreover, since he had reached the general realm, he could once again enter the elemental spirit world to contract another elemental spirit. "Yes and soon, I will form an official contract with another elemental spirit. If luck is good, I might form a couple of unofficial contracts too," While saying that Paulin was greatly excited and happiness was written all over his face. Forming unofficial contracts with elemental spirits could be considered lucky because it was very hard to find the elemental spirits in the huge elemental spirit world. Before he could find an elemental spirit afterpleting his official contract, the time for his stay in the elemental spirit world would be finished. So, it was lucky to find more elemental spirits and it''s even more difficult for enticing the elemental spirits into forming contracts with him. "Good for you, senior brother," Ajax showed an envied look on his face; however, he was not envious of his senior brother Paulin because he already had more than enough elemental spirits in his arsenal. "Do you want to see my new elemental spirits?" Paulin also noticed the envious look on Ajax''s face but he didn''t mind that because there was nothing wrong in envious about an official summoner. "Of course, I will see," Ajax nodded his head to see Pauline two new elemental spirits. "Come out," With a smile on his face, Paulin called for his new elemental spirits., ''Swoosh'' As soon as Paulin called out, two elemental spirits appeared in front of him. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised to see the two blue coloured elemental spirits which were curiously looking at him. Chapter 608 - Essence Storage Chapter 608 - Essence Storage The two blue coloured elemental spirits looked like twins; however, there was a single change. They were of a different gender. Both of those elemental spirits were having a trident in their hands and done in golden coloured armour with thin crowns on their heads. "Ajax, meet the male elemental spirit, Azurius and the female one is Aqualis," Looking at the surprised look on Ajax''s face, Paulin was satisfied as he introduced his elemental spirits to Ajax. "Cool" Ajax recovered from his shock and nodded his head. At the same time, he used the system to know theplete details of both the elemental spirits. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Azurius (Male) Cultivation:- Level 1 of the elemental spirit general realm Skills:- Essence storage, Twin-connection, Merge, Water wave summoning, Water clone. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Aqualis (Female) Cultivation:- Level 1 of the elemental spirit general realm Skills:- Essence storage, Water whip, Twin-connection, Aqua healing, Hypnotize. Soon, two halographic screens appeared in front of him which shocked him a little bit. Because he didn''t expect that these two newly contracted elemental spirits of Paulin already reached the elemental spirit general realm. ''My official elemental spirit still stuck in the elemental elite spirit general realm even after I provide them the special elemental paradises,'' Seeing their cultivations of the elemental spirits in front of him, Ajax bitterly shook his head; however, he knew that his elemental spirits were already having a good cultivation realm. ''They have some cool skills. Let''s see about them in a little more detail,'' Next, his gaze shifted to the skill of those elemental spirits and he thought they were some cool skill in his head as he focused on the skills sections of both the holographic screens in front of him. "Ajax, I have to go now. Earlier, Captain Edmond had called me. So, I will see youter," As Ajax was busy checking the skills of the Paulin''s new elemental spirits, Paulin said to Ajax before rushing into the distance while summoning back his elemental spirits. "Okay," Ajax didn''t stop Paulin because his system had already recorded all the skills. So, he could slowly check themter. ''System, you can show me now,'' After Paulin left, Ajax slowly walked out of the squad building while checking the skills one after another. ''Ding, Skill name:- Essence storage. Effect:- stores all the essence of nature around the elemental spirit into a special orb that was embedded in its crown. Description:- This skill is awakened at the time of its birth. The elemental spirit can use the stored essence of nature for himself/herself or share it with their summoner. ''Holy heavens. This might be the reason for the sudden increase in senior brother Paulin''s cultivation,'' After seeing the description of the ''Essence storage'' skill, Ajax understood the reason behind Paulin''s sudden increase in his cultivation. Moreover, the two elemental spirits also reached such a high level of cultivation in the shortest possible time. ''How long did they store the essence of nature from the elemental spirit world that could help three beings reach the general realm?'' Ajax was getting goosebumps just by that thought. For an elemental spirit, they could not cultivate until they formed a contract with someone. So, till they formed contract with Paulin, they stored the essence of nature in their crown. ''So, those stones in the crown are not just for show but they are very valuable,'' he recalled the small blue-coloured stones in their crowns which were very small but after reading the skill description, Ajax knew they were very valuable. "Anyway, next skill," Ajax didn''t bother with that skill which was very beneficial in the early stages and moved to the next skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Twin-connection (Passive) Effects:- 1) With this skill, their attacks are always in synchronization without evenmunicating with one another. 2) When an attack from both the elemental spiritsnds on a single target, the overall damage will be doubled. Description:- Only twin elemental spirits can awaken such skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Water whip Effect:- A whip formed from the water that has normal damage. Description:- A verymon type of skill for a water elemental spirit. ''Ding, Skill name:- Merge Effects:- 1) Can merge with the other twin elemental spirit which increases the battle prowess by three times. 2) Can merge with the summoner to increase the battle prowess by four times. 3) Can merge with both the summoner and the other twin elemental spirit to increase the battle prowess by five times. Note:- For the third effect, two of the three beings that were merging needs to have the merge skill. In a single gap, Ajax read the information on the three skills of which two skills weremon for both the elemental spirits; moreover, those two skills were cooler than he thought. ''Although Water whip is a verymon skill, the other two skills are very good and senior brother Paulin doesn''t need to worry about the enemies much stronger than him anymore,'' Ajax felt happy for Paulin with all these new skills. Even before he became an official summoner, Paulin''s secret technique of increasing the power levels of other beings was very good and now he could even fight and win against a peak level general realm cultivator. ''I wonder what type of skills, Senior brother Paulin has awakened after forming the official contract with these two elemental spirits,'' Paulin''s elemental spirits'' skills were already good which made Ajjax think of the skills of an official summoner. ''I am sure they are very good judging from the happy look on the senior brother''s face,'' Ajaxughed to himself and soon continued to check the remaining skills of those two elemental spirits. Soon, without his knowledge, he had already reached the open ground behind the squad building in which Levi, Lewis, Jeff and it were practising their attacks on one another. ''Target in sight'' However, in the distance, a ck silhouette''s eyes shone when it saw Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Soon, he silhouette disappeared from its position and appeared behind Ajax and shed a dark de at him. Chapter 609 - Undead Assassins

Chapter 609 - Undead Assassins

A couple of hours ago, In the assassin sect''s meeting hall, "Sect leader Gerg, themunication with the headquarters is back again," the servant who had entered the meeting hall, hurriedly informed the sect leader and others in the meeting hall. "What?" Along with the sect leader, the rest of the elders were shocked and at the same time pleasantly surprised at such great news. "Yes, sect leader Gerg," When everyone in the meeting hall was excited, they unconsciously released some of their cultivation aura that suppressed the servant who only had themander realm cultivation, hard to breathe which made him almost die due to suffocation. ''Ahem. Everyone calm down.'' One of the five old men standing on the long table noticed that the servant was unable to bear the pressure. So, he ordered everyone in a low yet powerful voice. Hearing that, everyone calmed down and retracted their cultivation pressure back into their bodies. "Phew..." Finally, the servant heaved a sigh of relief while gasping for air. Everyone waited for that servant to be normal and once he was able to breathe normally again, the sect leader Gerg asked, "Now tell me everything rted to themunication with the headquarters." "The headquarters sent an urgent mission for our sect toplete. As long as weplete this mission, themunication with the headquarters will be permanent," the servant excitedly answered the sect leader Gerg because it was great news for their sect. "Good...good...good. Heavens didn''t abandon our assassin sect," The sect leader Gerg and the five old men were excited and waited for the servant to finish his words. "As for the mission, it is to kill someone from our province," The servant didn''t waste any more time and was directly informed about the mission. "What? We just have to kill someone?" "Who is he? Is he someone from the royal family or any of the top powers of Zrochester province?" "Even if he belongs to the royal family, we have to finish the mission from the headquarters," .. .. .. Soon, the five old men started expressing their views on the headquarters'' new mission. "His name is Ajax, 15 years old and a member of the Hazegroove mercenary squad. These are the only details they have sent to us, sect leader Gerg," While saying that, the servant took out a beast parchment and gave it to the sect leader Gerg. "Who is he?" The sect leader and the five old men raised their brows because they didn''t have a single clue about Ajax because they only came out of their seclusion a couple of days ago. "Why does the headquarters wants to kill a 15-year-old kid?" Moreover, with Ajax''s age, what he had done that made him the target of the headquarters. "I know about him," While the sect leader Gerg and the five old men were thinking about the reason behind the mission, the second elder spoke in a low voice. "Huh? What do you know about him, second elder?" The sect leader Gerg raised his brows as he asked the second elder. The second elder looked at the cold corpse of the first elder on the floor and exined, "Previously, the headquarters had given us two missions with good rewards. In one of the missions, we have to kill this Ajax because the headquarters thinks he was the child that escaped the massacre from the Silver Orphanage." "Huh? What happened? Why did they send the same mission once again? Did you not finish the missionst time?" Soon, the sect leader asked many questions in reply to the second elder''s words. "Every elder has sent their top batch of the disciples except for the third elder; however, not a single one of them had returned and all their spirit jades in the sect got destroyed," The second elder looked at the third elder as he replied to the sect leader''s questions with a sad look on his face. "Huh? While I was in seclusion, many things had happened that put our sect in the current predicament," The sect leader looked at the third elder before looking at the rest of the elders with a disappointed look on his face and he continued, "Then, why didn''t you inform me about it?" "We wanted to inform you but with the demon''s invasion, you ordered us to remain in the sect andter the first elder nned to overthrow you from the sect leader seat," the second elder replied with an embarrassed look on his face. "Sigh...maybe, the headquarters is giving us a chance to prove ourselves. So, let''s finish the mission at any cost," Hearing all the exnations from the second elder, the sect leader Gerg sighed as he seriously said to everyone present in the meeting hall. "Yes, sect leader Gerg. Let''s prove ourselves to the headquarters," All the elders except for the second and third elder shouted out loud in unison. As for why both the second elder and third elder didn''t shout along with the other elders because they thought the reason for the mission was something else. ''Maybe, is it because of Cortez?'' The second elder silently thought in his head; however, he didn''t say it out loud even though he was almost sure about it. ''Headquarters is not the type to give second chances to others,'' As for the third elder, he studied the headquarters for many years now and he was absolutely sure that there was some other reason for this mission. "Okay then. Guardian, I want to wake up the undead assassins with your help toplete this mission. What do you say?" Soon, the sect leader Gerg told the five old men about his n. "You want to silently finish this mission without alerting the mercenary guild? Fine. You have our full support," The old men threw five ck colour tokens at the sect leader Gerg before saying, "Be careful when you summon them andplete the mission at any cost," As soon as they finished their words, the five old men disappeared from the long table. Chapter 610 - Ancestors plans

Chapter 610 - Ancestor''s ns

The five old men didn''t bother with anything as they left the meeting hall leaving everything to the sect leader. ''I willplete this mission and let the headquarters know our value,'' After hearing the five old men''s words, the sect leader Gerg silently swore to himself. "Third elder,e with me. Let''s awaken the 12 undead assassins for this mission. Before anyone noticed what we did, that young man should die," The sect leader Gerg looked at each and everyone for a moment before asking the third elder to follow him. ''Yes, sect leader Gerg,'' The third elder nodded his head and silently followed behind the sect leader Gerg. ''Damn it. The sect leader Gerg is doing this on purpose,'' Looking at the sect leader Gerg and the third elder, who were leaving the meeting hall, the second elder clenched his fists; however, he knew that he could not do anything when it came to the sect leader Gerg. As for the third elder, he could kill him if he used all his trump cards; however, there was no benefit in doing so except for losing his trump cards. ..... In an unknown location, In a dark room, "Why the hell did you contact the assassin sect once again? Didn''t I say sever all ties to that sect?" A very weak looking old man in ck robes angrily shouted at a middle-aged same who wore the simr looking ck robes., "Ancestor, let me exin you that reason for once again activating themunication with the assassin sect," The middle-aged man was entirely covered in sweat as he stammeringly replied to the angry old man. The old man was none other than the Ancestor who ordered the massacre on the Silver Orphanage. A few days back, he ordered the middle-aged man to sever all ties with the assassin sect. So, when he sensed that their organisation was stillmunicating with the assassin sect, he became angry and shouted at the middle-aged man. "Say it. If I don''t find the reason is sufficient, then you will bear the consequences of not following my orders," The old man scoffed at the middle-aged man. "Yes yes," the middle-aged man hurriedly nodded his head as he continued, "Do you remember the guest elder that I invited him just after you entered the seclusion?" The middle-aged man asked a question and patiently waited for the reply from the weak looking old man. "Yes. Isn''t he the one that helped us destroy a couple of lesser organisations without a single casualty?" The old man nodded his head as he recalled the help of the guest elder of their organisation. "Yes, he greatly helped our organisation and moreover, we still have use of him. So, the thing is he sent his son to the Zrochester province for training in the assassin sect; however, he was killed by someone named Ajax," The middle-aged man took a short breath as he continued, "So, in order to satisfy that guest elder, I have to once again open ourmunication system for the assassin sect." After finishing a lengthy reply, the middle-aged man looked at the old man and waited for him to decide whether what he had done was right or wrong. "Okay then. Let them finish the mission andter stopmunicating with them," Finally, after hearing the reason for the remunication with the assassin sect, the weak looking old man nodded his head and at the end of his words, he revealed a cruel smile which made the middle-aged man shiver. "Yes, yes. I will do as you say, Ancestor. I will take my leave now," As soon as he finished his words, he hurriedly left the darkroom. ''Such a bunch of weaklings. They can''t even bear injured cultivation. If those old monsters sleeping in the other organisations know that I was injured, then they will definitely join together to destroy my organisation,'' Looking at the leaving middle-aged man, the old man shook his head because he felt that his current organisation is too weakpared to the past. "Anyway, before that young man enters this province, I have to recover my strength; otherwise,?even if I could get that item after killing the young man, I can''t use it 100 percent," With that thought in his mind, the old man took out hundreds of ck coloured spirit stones and ced all of them around him. ''With this many high-level spirit stones, I can recover 70 percent of my strength,'' Soon, he closed his eyes as he rapidly absorbed the rich essence of nature from the high-level spirit stones. If someone from the Zrochester province sees the actions of the old man, then you would be very angry because the old man casually threw 100s of high-level spirit stones as though they were some normal rocks. ...¡­. Back in the assassin sect''s secret chambers. The sect leader and the third elder entered a dark room which waspletely covered with dust and cobwebs. In front of them, there were 12 ck coloured coffins with some mysterious runes on them, lying on the ground. "Sect leader Gerg, I have a doubt regarding these undead assassins for a long time. Can you clear it?" Looking at the 12 coffins, the third elder mustered his courage and asked the sect leader Gerg to clear his doubts. "Ask it," The sect leader was not in a hurry to wake up those undead assassins from the coffins as he replied to the third elder. "What are these undead assassins? Where did we get them from?" The third elder took a deep breath as he asked the sect leader Gerg regarding the undead assassins. "Haha¡­.you want to know about these undead assassins?" The sect leader looked at the third elder for a moment before startedughing as he asked him. "Yes, sect leader. I know it is a top-secret matter. But if you don''t mind, can you talk about these undead assassins?" The third elder nodded his head without any hesitation and waited for the sect leader to give a reply to him. Chapter 611: Third Elders worries

Chapter 611: Third Elder''s worries

The mystery behind the undead assassin and those coffins was only known by the sect leaders of the Assassin sect. That''s the reason even the third elder didn''t know about it. So, he asked the sect leader Gerg to talk about it. "The greatest assassins of our assassin sect, when they reach the end of their life, they choose to contribute to the sect even after their death. So, with some secret technique, just before their death they chose to turn into an undead to help the sect in the time of need," The sect elder had some good impression on the third elder and that''s why he took the third elder along with him and chose to exin about the undead assassin. "..." After learning the truth, the third elder became speechless and carefully looked at the coffins as he felt a light shiver run down in his spine. ''So, they are basically forced to turn into the undead?'' The third elder knew that no one really cares about the sect. So, when he heard the sect leader Gerg''s word, the third elder thought theplete opposite of what the sect leader had said. Basically, no one in the entire sect turns into an undead for the sake of sect. So, the third elder looked at the sect leader Gerg with a horror look on his face. ''Maybe, they will turn me into an undead assassin too,'' Soon, the fear inside the third elder started growing just from thinking that he would turn into an undead assassin. "Okay then. Let''s open," Soon the sect leader Gerg chanted something in a low voice before asking the third elder to open the coffins. ''What should I do? If the sect leader uses his techniques on me, I don''t stand a chance to escape,'' However, the third elder was in his own thoughts as he was thinking of a way to escape from the clutches of the sect leader Gerg and the five old men. "What are you thinking? Come and help me open this coffins," Seeing that the third elder was spacing out into the thin air, the sect leader Gerg shouted at him once again in a low yet powerful voice which made hime out of his thoughts. "Huh? Yes...set leader Gerg," The third elder hurriedly rushed forward to open the coffins while clearing the sweat on his forehead. ''Stand'' Once they opened all the coffin doors, the sect leader Gerg said a single word and all the sleeping ck-robed corpses stood up from. All those 12 undead assassins were covered in the ck robes from top to bottom. Not even an inch of skin could not be seen by the third elder or the sect leader Gerg. "Third Elder, give me that scroll," As soon as they stood up, the sect leader Gerg asked a scroll from the third elder. "Here," The third elder was still unable to calm down thinking about his future fate; however, he was paying more attention to the sect leader Gerg. So, as soon as the sect leader Gerg asked for the scroll, he hurriedly gave it to him without wasting a single second., "Silently kill him. The sect''s fate lies with him," The sect leader Gerg didn''t speak much to those 12 undead assassins as he opened the scroll. Inside the scroll, there was an image of Ajax that was hand-drawn. The sect leader Gerg showed Ajax''s image to each and every one of the 12 undead assassins. "Complete the mission and you can rest for another decade without any disturbance," After showing the image to the 12 undead assassins, the sect leader Gerg closed and ordered them to finish the mission as soon as possible. ''Nods'' All the 12 undead assassins nodded their heads before disappearing into the thin air right in front of the eyes of the sect leader Gerg and the third elder. "Third Elder, in how many hours, do you think, they will finish the mission?" After the undead assassin disappeared from the dark room, the sect leader and the third elder walked out of the room while the sect leader Gerg asked the third elder. "I think in one hour," The third elder didn''t answer withplete honesty because he had never seen the power of an undead assassin; however, from the stories he heard they were very powerful. So, he gave a rough approximation of thepletion time in killing Ajax. "You think they are invincible? Haha," Hearing the third elder''s words, the sect leader Gergughed out loud as he continued, "When they were alive their cultivation was around level 5 to level 8 of the elite general realm." The sect leader Gerg paused for a moment and noticed something in the third elder''s eyes which made him raise his brows. "Then isn''t it overkill by sending the 12 undead assassins to kill an elitemander realm cultivator?" The third elder''s heart nearly came out of his mouth when he saw the frown on the sect leader Gerg''s face. So, he tried to divert the sect leader''s attention from him to the undead assassins. "However, after turning into undead they gained to leave forever at a cost of reducing their cultivation to level 1 of the elite general realm. Moreover, by sleeping in the coffins for many years, their battle prowess must have be rusty," ; The third elder sessfully diverted the sect leader Gerg as he started saying all the disadvantages of the undead assassins. "Then why did you send them, sect leader Gerg?" the third elder asked with a frown because he didn''t see any use sending a level rusty undead assassins to a ce where a level 5 elite general lives. "But I can say one thing for sure. When ites to stealth and speed, not even Edmond or Udo could beat them," All of a sudden, the sect leader Gerg''s expression became happy by just thinking about the speed of the undead assassins. Chapter 612: Dangerous situation

Chapter 612: Dangerous situation

In the open ground behind the mercenary squad building, Ajax was busy checking the skills of Paulin''s new elemental spirits'' skill as he walked towards Levi and others. In the distance, Levi, Lewis, Jeff were attacking the it, who was using his ''Earth Shield'' to block their attacks. Even though Levi''s cultivation had reached level 2 of the elite general realm, he promised that he would only use the strength of the level 2 general realm because it''s cultivation was still in the mid level elitemander stage. However, what he didn''t know was no one under level 1 of the elite general realm could not break it''s earth shield. As for Lewis and Jeff, they were still in the level 9 of themander realm which won''t even put a scratch on the ''Earth Shield''. All of a sudden, a few ck silhouettes appeared around Ajax with small ck-coloured daggers in their hands and aimed at Ajax''s vitals in order to kill him. ''Huh?'' ''Spatial des'' Just when the 12 ck coloured daggers were about to pierce through Ajax''s vitals, he released the spatial des in all directions with full power. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' However, all his spatial des were passed right through their body as though they were not real. Nevertheless, at the same time, all the twelve ck silhouettes moved a couple of steps back. "Who are you?" ''Abyssal beast god bloodline activate'' Ajax didn''t waste any time before activating his ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' and asked the twelve silhouettes. Looking at the twelve ck silhouettes around him, Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart because, in the earlier attack, he didn''t sense them until the system warned him just when the ck coloured dagger was a couple of meters away from him. That''s right! For the first time, the system warned him about the enemy; moreover, Ajax felt that even the system was unable to sense these ck-robed men. So, his worries increased even more. So, he hurriedly ordered Darbaudr toe towards him. ''Also, my spatial des didn''t have any effect on them. Are they even human?'' Ajax was unable to say from their appearance because they were entirely covered in ck clothing. ''We are your death,'' Among one of the 12 ck-robed men, spoke in a rough voice and rushed towards Ajax at a lighting speed. ''What should I do? I need to stall for some time until someonees to my rescue,'' When he saw that his spatial des did nothing on those 12 ck-robed men, Ajax felt it was impossible to kill him. Moreover, with their speed, he could not outrun them. So, he decided to stall time till Darbaudres to his rescue. ''Heaven''s destroyer,'' Since he wanted to stall time, he had to use some powerful techniques. So, even though he didn''t want to summon Heaven''s destroyer, he summoned it in front of Levi and others. ''it, bring everyone together and ready to cast your ''Earth Shield'' skill as soon as I am within your skill''s range, do you understand?'' Along with heaven''s destroyer spear, Ajax silently sent a voice transmission. ''Yes, big brother,'' it nodded his head and hurriedly rushed towards others who were still in shock after seeing the 12 ck robe silhouettes. "No, I will help Ajax. With my strength, I can take care of a couple of them," When he heard it''s words, Levi came out of his shock and wanted to help Ajax. "No, big brother Ajax told me to gather everyone in a single ce," it stopped Levi as he exined Ajax''s n. ''Sigh...ok,'' Finally, after much begging from it, Levi agreed to it and stayed at his position. "Heaven''s destroyer, show your mightiness," Ajax threw the spear at the iing ck-robed man. ''Swoosh'' However, the ck-robed man dodged the spear and continued to rush towards Ajax. ''Hehe...turn,'' ''Puchi'' Ajax rotated his fingers and the spear which flew past the ck-robed man turned directions and pierced into his back. However, this time, the spear pierced into the ck-robed man and ck blood could be seen on the tip of the spear. "One down," Soon, the ck-robed man fell to the ground with a ''Thud'' as Ajax counted it as one kill. ''Hehe'' However, the ck-robed man mysteriously stood up on the ground and eerilyughed. ''What the hell!'' Ajax was shocked to see the scene in front of him. ''This is bad...I need to run,'' ''Cloud steps'' Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he turned around and ran towards it and others. There was not even a single bit of hesitation as he directly used his level 2 cloud steps which greatly increased his speed. ''You will die today,'' All the ck-robed men muttered the same line as they disappeared from their ces and instantly appeared a couple of meters away from Ajax. ''How are they doing it? Do they know teleportation?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw those 12 ck-robed men instantly covered a 100 meters in a second. ''Just a little...just a little,'' Currently, it''s ''Earth Shield'' could cover a 100 meters radius around him. So, it was only around 10 more meters. So, he muttered the same line as he didn''t stop running. "You can reach them," Just when Ajax was only a couple of meters away from the 100 meters radius from it, a ck-robed man appeared right in front of him with his ck coloured dagger shing right into his neck. ''Oh no. I can''t control my speed,'' With the level 2 cloud steps, his speed was greatly increased and all of sudden he could not stop and there was no way he could dodge the iing ck-coloured dagger. "Is that it? Am I going to die today?" All of a sudden, Ajax felt hopeless but he didn''t want to give up yet. So, he took out his inheritance sword and used his level 3 sword dao on it before trying to stop the ck dagger. Chapter 613: Necros Awakens

Chapter 613: Necros Awakens

"It will not help you," The ck-robed man said in an eerie voice as he allowed Ajax''s inheritance sword to pierce through him, while he continued to sh his ck dagger at him. ''Holy heavens'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt the time around him slow down as he felt like his death was approaching. ''Swoosh'' ''Devour'' Just when he was about to be shed by the ck dagger,?Ajax saw a cloud of ck smokeing out of his own body and at the same time, he heard a familiar voice. ''Zap'' Before the ck smoke in front of him could bepletely materialized, Ajax noticed the ck-robed man that was about to kill him also turned into ck smoke before mixed into the ck smoke that came out of Ajax''s body. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ck smoke materialized into a familiar ck-robed elemental spirit that made Ajax both surprised and excited. ''Necros,'' As soon as he saw the materialized form in front of him, Ajax called out the name of the elemental spirit in front of him. That''s right! The elemental spirit that appeared out of nowhere was none other than Necros, who was supposed to be still cultivating in order to break through to the general realm. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit killed an elite general realm undead assassin. Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. Just as he called his elemental spirit, the system also sent the system notification which made him understand what these ck-robed men were. Moreover, at the same time, Ajax was surprised to see the 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Hello, master,'' While he was still in shock after seeing the system''s generosity with the essence of nature, Ajax was awakened by Necro''s greeting. "What is that?" "Ajax has another elemental spirit?" "I was already surprised very much with the previous shining white spear and I didn''t expect Ajax to have another elemental spirit," Both Lewis and Jeff continued to mutter with shocked faces when they saw the sudden appearance of the ck elemental spirit that killed one of the ck robe men with a single word. "Oh...so, he finally recovered from the side effects of the strength potion," However, that could not be said to Levi because he had already seen the battle prowess of Necros. So he was not shocked much and surprised only a little bit. As for it, an excited smile appeared on his face on his previously worried face. ''Huh? What is that? How can he absorb one of us into him?'' This was the only thought in the minds of the ck-robed men as they were shocked to see what happened to one of their kind. ''Maybe, that elemental spirit was capable of devouring the death energy that is keeping us alive,'' The leader of the undead assassins transmitted his voice to the rest of his team which made all of them intently stare at the ck elemental spirit in front of Ajax. Moreover, it also made them wary about it which made them stop in their tracks and they were waiting for an opening to finish their target. ''As long as we didn''t kill our target, we can''t go back to the sect. If we can''t go back to the sect within the next 6 hours we will die. So, everyone, use as much energy as possible and don''t hold back your power. As long as weplete the mission, we can get back all our used up energy from the sect leader.'' Looking at Ajax, the leader of the undead assassins evaluated their situation because currently, they didn''t have their initial confidence. That''s right! Withoutpleting their mission, they could not enter the assassin sect, without the help of the assassin sect''s mysterious energy from the death god''s statue, they would disappear. So, the leader of the undead assassins ordered his squad members to finish the mission at any cost. ''Yes,'' All the remaining 10 undead assassins nodded their heads in understanding. "Did youplete your break through?" Since there was no system notification regarding Necros'' breakthrough, Ajax asked the elemental spirit itself. Earlier, when he was in the inner world, the system said that Necros was in the critical stage of a breakthrough. So, he asked, wondering what happened to his cultivation. "Hehe" When he heard Ajax''s words, Necros revealed his usual eerie smile and said only a single word, ''Break'' ''Zap'' As soon as he said that, a huge amount of energy waves burst out of his body. Along with the huge waves of energy waves, the ck robe on Necros turned into purple and with each passing second the colour of that robe turned brighter and brighter as for the other changes, Ajax was unable to see with the huge energy waves that were blocking his sight. ''Now it''s done,'' The energy emitted from Necros didn''tst for much time before they disappeared into thin air and at the same time, Ajax heard Necros'' eerie voice. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit for breaking through into the general realm. ''Ding, A new skill ''Soul Grimoire'' is awakened. Just as Necros finished talking, Ajax received two system notifications regarding Necros'' cultivation and moreover, he also awakened a new skill because of the breakthrough to the next realm. "Necros, can you take care of them?" Even though Ajax was excited with the new skill and he wanted to check it, he knew he didn''t have time for that. So, he asked Necros to take care of those undead assassins. "It''s been a while since Ist fought someone. I hope they are good; otherwise, I will be bored to go back into the inner world once again without a good fight," Necros nodded his head at Ajax before ncing at the 11 undead assassins in the distance as he loudly spoke. So that they could listen to him. As for Ajax, he casually walked towards it and others while keeping an eye on Necros and the other undead assassins. Chapter 614: Soul Grimoire

Chapter 614: Soul Grimoire

After seeing how Necros killed one of the undead assassins even before he could break through to the Elemental spirit general realm, Ajax''s previous helplessness had disappeared and he became excited while walking towards it and others. Because, with the recent breakthrough, Ajax had nothing to worry about. At the same time, he looked focused on Necros'' new skill which he awakened after the breakthrough into the spirit general realm. ''System, give the details on his new skill,'' Ajax was still a couple of meters away from it and others. So, he asked the system to show the information on the skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Soul Grimoire (Level 1) Use:- With this skill, the user can collect the souls of the dead beings in a Grimoire and order them around as he likes. Number of souls:-?0/10 Note:- 1) The user can only collect the souls from the dead beings of exactly one major realm higher than himself. 2) Souls can only have 50 percent of their battle prowess from when they are alive. Description:- An ancient book that holds the souls of the dead. Soon a huge holographic screen appeared in front of him with theplete details of the skill that made Ajax stop in his tracks. ''Another nice skill,'' Ajax unconsciously smiled from ear to ear as he read the entire information a couple of times. From the beginning, all the skills that Necros had were very good and suitable to him. Not only that, all of them were very powerful. ''It''s time to collect the souls for his soul grimoire,'' Soon, Ajax resumed his walk towards it as he turned back to see Necros and the 11 undead assassins who were still not attacking as though they were waiting for something. ''Looks like Necros will have his own army in the future,'' Ajax nced at the undead assassins as he silently thought to himself as he finally reached others. Because Ajax thought that Necors would add those undead assassins into his Soul Grimoire. ''If it was not possible or he didn''t want to take them into the soul grimoire, it is his choice,'' Ajax didn''t bother much about it as he knew Necro was wise enough to make his own decisions. "Ajax, when did you get that elemental spirit?" "It''s is cool and powerful" "Are you hiding some more elemental spirits?" As soon as he reached them, Lewis and Jeff started their non-stop questions and rumbling about Necros. ''Haha'' However, Ajax didn''t answer a single question as he replied to them with a smile as he sat down with a rxed expression on his face. ''...'' Seeing that they didn''t get an answer to any of their questions, they became speechless and wanted to force him to answer their questions. ''Boom'' However, just when they wanted to pester Ajax for answers, they heard a loud booming sound which diverted their attention from Ajax to Necros. In the distance, all the 11 undead assassins rushed at Necros from all the sides and threw some small ck bombs at him which sted the entire area that Necros was standing. "What happened?" "The firepower of those explosives are very high," "Is he fine?" Except for Ajax, everyone watching the scene in front of them were anxiously waiting for the ck smoke from the explosion to disappear. So that they could see whether Necros was fine or injured. As for Ajax, he revealed a smile as he got a reply from Necros just before after the explosion and it was ''Master, within one minute, this will be over.'' At first, Ajax thought he was over exaggerating because Ajax thought it was impossible for Necros to kill all 11 undead assassins in a minute. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything as he just watched the true fight that was about to begin. ''Huh?'' "Where is that ck elemental spirit?" "Has he dodged the attack or died in that attack into nothingness," When the ck smoke was cleared, there was no one inside it which made Lewis and others anxious and they hurriedly turned their heads towards Ajax who was leisurely watching the leader of the undead assassins. "Ajax, what happened?" "Is your elemental spirit alright?" Lewis and Jeff asked Ajax because they know that a summoner would know the well being of his elemental spirit. However, they felt it was just a waste of time after they asked the questions because with the content smile on Ajax''s face they knew the ck elemental spirit was alright. "Just watch. Don''t miss it," Ajax simply revealed a smile as he replied to them before putting his focus on the leader of the undead assassins. "Damn it...Even with my high cultivation, I am still sitting away from the battle. I guess I am useless no matter how high my cultivation is," Levi was somewhat different from the rest of the others because his cultivation had reached level 2 of the elite general realm and even then he felt useless because he was unable to help Ajax earlier. The current strength he was having because of Ajax. So, when Ajax was in danger earlier, he didn''t have enough confidence to save Ajax from the ck-robed men making him guilty even after Ajax was not in danger anymore. "Senior brother Levi, you don''t need to worry about it. I was the one that asked it to stop you from rushing towards me," Seeing the sad expression on his face, Ajax tried his best to convince Levi before having a guilty conscience was not good for his cultivation. "Moreover, you only broke through recently and you are yet to learn how to use that strength. Even if you have rushed towards me earlier, it would not have helped any of us. So, don''t think much about it," After finishing his words, Ajax didn''t try to convince Levi anymore because there was nothing he could do when someone mes themselves as they have to stop ming themselves on their own. Chapter 615: Necros army

Chapter 615: Necros'' army

"Still¡­" Even after hearing Ajax''s words, Levi was not entirely convinced but he felt a little better than before with Ajax''s words. ''...'' Ajax became speechless at Levi''s single word as he shook his head before saying, "If you still feel bad about noting to my rescue earlier, then you can protect me the next time I am in danger. Okay?" Ajax noticed that Levi''s facial expression had finally turned back to normal and moreover, there was a slight smile on Levi''s face. "Sure. I wille to save you even if I don''t have much hope ining out alive from that situation and will not stop in my tracks just like how I did today," Levi clenched his fists as he nodded his head while maintaining a slight smile. ''Phew...finally, I did it,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at the 11 undead assassins. ''Leader, where is that elemental spirit?'' ''Didn''t we throw the explosives right at him? How did he disappear?'' ''Leader, I think, he had already dead,'' ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ... All the undead assassins looked at their leader as they gave their opinions and asked questions about Necros. ''Maybe, he escap¡­.aarghhh'' "I am right here," Before one of the undead assassins could express his thoughts to his leader, the ck smoke materialized into Necros and as soon as he materialized, he ced his hand on that undead assassin. With the light touch from Necros, the undead assassin''s body started to turn into ck smoke before it was absorbed into Necros'' body. "Everyone, escape," When the leader of the undead assassin saw that another one of his squad members got absorbed by the ck elemental spirit, he didn''t hesitate to give an ''escape order'' to everyone. After giving that order, he also didn''t wait in the open ground anymore and turned around to escape. "You think you can escape after trying to kill my master? In your dreams...hehe," In the entire open ground, Necros'' eerie voice resounded making the hair on Ajax''s hand raise. For some reason, Ajax felt proud and warmth at Necros'' words before those words meant everything to him. "Necros. Don''t let them escape," Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions as he shouted at Necros in a loud voice. "It is already taken care of...hehe," Unexpected to Ajax and other''s expectations, Necros calmly walked towards them as though he had already killed them. ''Necros, you didn''t kill them yet,'' Ajax was confused and silently transmitted his voice to Necros. ''Still, 20 seconds left for one minute to bepleted, master,'' Necros replied to Ajax as he stood in front of Ajax. ''This elemental spirit is ugly and hideous from the loser look,'' ''Right! Only it''s robe is cool. Look at that tongue,'' Lewis and Jeff were shaking while looking at Necros from such a short distance as they silently voice transmitted to each other. ''Rumble'' All of a sudden, the ground below them started shaking making everyone take a couple of steps back; however, Necros was standing with even moving a little from his position. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' Within the next few seconds, the rumbling sound increased a lot; however, the earth below them was not shaking as much as it did earlier except for a few ces which were some distance away from them. ''Rumble'' Just as Ajax and others were wondering what was happening under the ground, exactly ten undead warriors who were donned in ck armour along with a huge sword hanging at their waist appeared from the ground. Along with their appearance, the rumbling sound also decreased. "There are¡­.," Ajax was shocked to see the 10 undead warriors in front of him who looked more powerful and stronger when Necros was still in the elitemander realm. That''s right! They were none other than undead summons of Necros. Currently, with their strength, they were called Undead generals because Necros'' strength was elemental spirit general realm. So, his summons also had the strength of the general realm. Moreover, in their hands, they were an undead assassin who was helplessly looking at Ajax and Necros because they knew that their fate was already decided. At the same time, they also knew that it was a waste of time to beg them. ''Looks like he already has an army of his own,'' Looking at the stronger undead warriors that came out of the ground, Ajax silently thought in his head. "Finish them all," After a small nod from Ajax, Necros ordered all his undead warriors to kill the undead assassins in their hands. ''Finally, we can peacefully go to rest now,'' This was the final thought in the head of the undead assassin''s leader. ''Kacha'' ''Nom nom'' As soon as they received the order from their master, they directly tossed the undead assassins into their mouth and munched on them. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit killed an elite general realm undead assassin, Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit killed an elite general realm undead assassin, Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. .. .. .. .. .. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit killed a level 2 elite general realm undead assassin, Gained 1200 units of the essence of nature. With the death of the undead assassins, Ajax''s head was filled with the system notifications regarding the kills and the amount of the essence of nature gained. ''System, take 9000 units of the essence of nature for re-entry into the battle tower,'' Amidst those system notifications, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly ordered the system to take 9000 units of the essence of nature. From the 10 undead assassins, Ajax got 10200 units of the essence of nature and adding to the earlier two undead assassins it was totalled to 12200 units of the essence of nature. However, he only had the spirit consciousness capacity of 9000+ units of the essence of nature. So, he didn''t think much before directly spending on the battle tower. At the same time, Ajax raised his brows as he looked at Necros and his summons. Chapter 616: New Mission

Chapter 616: New Mission

The reason he raised his brows while looking at Necros and his summons was he felt that Necros'' summons were even more powerful than he thought. ''How can a level 1 undead general kill a level 1 undead elite general assassin,'' Ajax continued to stare at Necros and his summons. ''Ding, Deducting 9000 units of the essence of nature and filling it for the re-entry into the battle tower. ''Ding, Progress:- 9000/15000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 5000 units/ 9200 units While he was staring at Necros, he received the expected system notifications informing about the deduction of the essence of nature and the amount of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. ''5000 units of the essence of nature are still left in my spirit consciousness...not bad, not bad,'' Ajax nodded his head at thest system notification. ''Snap'' ''Return'' After killing and absorbing all the undead assassins, Necros snapped his thin fingers and ordered his summons. As soon as he ordered them, all the 10 undead general realm warriors disappeared into thin air. ''Do you want to ask me something?'' After summoning back his summons, Necros asked Ajax while walking towards him. From Ajax''s earlier stare, Necros guessed that Ajax had something in his mind regarding him and his summons. So, he asked with a slight smile on his long mouthed face. ''Yes. How can your summons be very powerful to kill an elite general undead assassin?'' Ajax looked at Lewis and others who were still in shock after seeing the prowess of Necros'' summons and transmitted his voice to Necros'' head. ''Hehe'' In return to Ajax''s question, Necros'' revealed an eerie smile as he continued, ''It was only a temporary boost for them as I gave my power to them which increased their battle prowess for some time.'' ''Oh. So, that''s why you looked very weak when you ordered them to devour the undead assassins. No wonder, your summons are powerful,'' Ajax understood how Necros'' summons were that strong with only level 1 undead general warrior cultivation. ''Moreover, these undead assassin''s are not as strong as amon elite general and their skills are not powerful enough to escape from here. Overall, they are not true undead assassins...maybe some forcefully created them,'' While Ajax nodded his head, Necors revealed some more facts about the undead assassins that made Ajax raise his brows. ''Forcefully created?'' Ajax closed his eyes for a moment and guessed the origins of these undead assassins and who had the motive to kill him. ''In the Zrochester province, I only have a feud with two powers. One of them is the ''Assassin sect'' and the other is ''Hammergust''?family. There is no way ''Hammergust family'' is strong enough to have these undead assassins and even if they have those undead assassins they would have not sent them to kill me for mocking their young masters. So, it is assassin sect that wants me dead,'' Ajax opened his eyes as he concluded the mastermind of this event. ''But, why do they want to kill me all of a sudden?'' It''s been a while since he killed the twelve groups of disciples from the assassin sect. So, Ajax wondered what made them attack him in such an open ce where everyone could see. ''Whatever¡­ From now on I need to be careful even in open ces too,'' Ajax silently thought to himself and at the same time he clenched his fists while thinking, ''Damn you assassin sect, I thought to give you some time to enjoy yourselves but you want to kill me. Well then, I am sessfully triggered. I aming to you.'' While he was in the room, he thought to wait until the disciple selection event by the six vagrant cultivators; however, after today''s incident, he didn''t want to waste any more time and wanted to take some revenge against them. ''Ding, Host, a new series mission is generated in the Quest tab. Please check it. Just as he thought to start taking revenge on the assassin sect, Ajax got a system notification regarding a new mission. ''I think it is about my revenge,'' Ajax guessed that the new mission would be regarding the revenge he w just thought about it. ''Let''s see wha¡­.,'' "Ajax, what happened here?" Just when Ajax thought to check the new series mission, he heard Edmond''s anxious voice. Earlier, Edmond, Udo and Darbaudr went to the mercenary guild when the guild master called them for something. After taking some items from the guild master and leaving the mercenary guild, Darbaudr informed them that Ajax was in some kind of trouble and they hurriedly rushed here only to see a ck-robed elemental spirit and perfectly alright Ajax. "Some undead assassins tried to sneak attack me," Ajax paused his intention to check the new mission and turned towards Edmond and answered in a bitter smile on his face. "Huh? Undead assassins?" Edmond and Udo frowned when they heard Ajax''s answer and nced at Necros. "Only the top three sects and the royal family can make the undead assassins and other undead beings. So, one of the top powers wants you dead," Udo slowly said as he continued to stare at Necros because he had many questions regarding that elemental spirit. "Maybe news about you being reaching the elitemander realm in such a short time might have reached to them and since you are with me, they wanted to kill you," Edmond exactly didn''t know who wanted to kill Ajax; however, he guessed the motive behind the assassination attempt. Edmond thought to himself that he was the reason for that assassination attempt as he had a feud with the top sects. "Don''t worry Captain Edmond. As long as an elite general realm cultivator doesn''te to kill me, I can be safe with my dark elemental spirit, Necros," Ajax could see the worry on Edmond''s face and asked him not to worry. Moreover, he also introduced Necros to him. Chapter 617: Udos Frustration

Chapter 617: Udo''s Frustration

Ajax felt that it was good to introduce Necros to Edmond and Udo before they could ask him about Necros. After finishing his words, Ajax looked at Edmond to guess what he must be thinking in his head and as for Udo, he didn''t bother looking at him because he already knew what he was thinking in his head. "So, this is your trump card for surviving in the Cursed wilderness? Not bad," Even though Udo didn''t like Ajax much when ites to expressing his inner thoughts he would not bother hiding them. "Yes, vice-captain Udo," Ajax simply nodded his head. "You hid it pretty well, Ajax," Just after Ajax replied to Udo, Edmond praised Ajax and continued saying to Ajax and others, "In this world, the more trump cards you hide from others, the greater heights you will reach in the future. So, never reveal them unless it was life and death matter. Do you understand?" Edmond shared some of his life''s experiences with Ajax and others. "Yes, captain," All of the youngsters present in the open ground replied to Edmond with a face full of seriousness because just a moment ago they understood how important it was to hide their trump card. ''If the enemy knows Ajax''s dark elemental spirit, then he would have sent even more powerful enemies or used some other tactics to kill him,'' ''I should do the same,'' Lewis and Jeff silently thought in their heads and their motivation to increase their cultivation and secret techniques had increased. ''Sigh...if I was like Ajax, I would have never fallen into the trap of the royal family and even my own friends. Except for Ajax, I will not share the details of my trump cards to anyone. I will even hide my cultivation,'' As for Levi, he sighed because he trusted his friends too much and revealed every trump card to them. So, he swore that he would not reveal any of his trump cards to anyone other than Ajax. That''s right! Beforeing out of his room, Levi had used some technique to hide his cultivation. ''At the moment, even if Captain Edmond could only see my cultivation level as level 2 general realm,'' Levi was very confident regarding his secret technique to mask his cultivation as he silently stood behind Ajax. It was also the reason why Edmond and Udo were not able to find anything wrong with Levi''s cultivation. "Okay now. Send it back into your spirit consciousness. It''s not good for your trump card to be known to the?outside world," Soon, Edmond asked Ajax to send Necros back and at the same time, he looked at Lewis and others before saying, "You will forget everything that you saw here. Do you understand?" Regarding a trump card like Necros, who could fight the cultivators below elite general realm, Edmond didn''t want others to know about it. So, he ordered others to keep quiet about it. Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter which made them nod their head. ''Necros,e back,'' ''Swoosh'' After hearing Edmond''s words, Ajax summoned back Necros into his inner world without wasting any time. "Okay then. Everyone go back to your rooms and increase your cultivation. For the next three days, no need to practice your cultivation techniques," Edmond knew about everyone except for Levi; however, he didn''t worry much about Levi revealing Ajax''s secret to others because Ajax knew about Levi. ''Moreover, there must be more trump cards like this under his sleeve,'' Thinking about how good Ajax was hiding at his trump cards, Edmond unconsciously revealed a smile on his face. "By the way, Ajax, wait here for a while. I have something to talk with you," Soon, everyone started walking into the residence building; however, Ajax was stopped by Edmond. ''Huh?'' Ajax halted in his tracks and nodded his head before walking towards Edmond and others. ''I also have something to ask him,'' At the same time, Ajax silently thought in his head before standing in front of Darabaudr and started talking something with him. ''You are thinking, he is good at hiding his trump cards, right?'' When Ajax and Darbaudr were having some conversation, Udo silently transmitted his voice into Edmond''s head. ''...'' However, Edmond didn''t give any reply to Udo and remained silent. ''You are very good at hiding your trump cards more than him. Even with our 25 years of friendship, I still don''t know what your elemental spirits look like and what is their current cultivation realm,'' Nevertheless, Udo continued to transmit his voice to Edmond which made Edmondugh. "Haha¡­.you will know when it is time," Edmond didn''t bother to reply through voice transmission as he directly replied while maintaining the smile on his face. "Anyway, where is he? Is someone kidnapped him or what?" Udo felt frustrated at Edmond''s words as he bitterly shook his head and asked about something else. "He only recently broke through to the general realm and still needs to adjust to it. So, just wait for some time, he wille," Edmond replied as he moved towards a tree and sat under its shade. ''Anyway, I have nothing to do today,'' Udo shrugged his hands as he also sat under a tree. ''They must be talking about senior brother Paulin,'' Ajax guessed whom they were waiting for and along with Darbaudr, he also moved towards the tree. Before he came to the open ground behind the building, Paulin was in a hurry to go meet Edmond and Ajax guessed that Paulin must have rushed towards the mercenary guild. ''Maybe, he didn''t reach mercenary guild before Edmond and others rushed back to the residence,'' With how much less time had passed, Ajax felt it was impossible to reach the mercenary guild. So, he assumed Paulin must have met Edmond and others in the half-way before he was ordered back to the squad building. ''Let hime. Until then, I will see what is the newly generated mission,'' Ajax didn''t bother much about the arrival of Paulin and thought to check the new mission. Chapter 618: Destroy the enemy

Chapter 618: Destroy the enemy

''System, show me the new mission,'' With a rxed expression on his face, Ajax silently asked the system. Beside him, Darbaudr also sat and kept an alert look on his face. ''How can I let this happen? If not for Necros'' sudden appearance, then I would have lost the meaning to my life,'' Darbaudr scolded himself because he swore to protect his master who gave him some meaning for him to live. However, when his master was in danger, he was always away from him. ''From now on, I will not leave his side,'' So, he decided to stay alert and close to his master no matter what. Staying with Edmond and Udo, Darbaudr learned many things regarding the top powers of the Zrochester province and concluded that it was just like his own province. Cruel. Ajax shook his head when he saw how alert Darbaudr was; however, he didn''t say anything and allowed him to do what he liked. Nevertheless, his focus was now on the holographic screen in front of him, ''Ding, Mission name:- Destroy the enemy. Mission type:- Series Description:- The assassin sect keeps on sending their forces to kill the host. So, he must have to show what he is made up of and destroy the entire sect from the face of the Zrochester province. Mission one:- Destroy 5-10 percent of the assassin sect''s assets. Description:- Assassin sect has many resources like low-level spirit stone caves, alchemy stores, assassination circle, restaurants and other shops. As long as the host destroys 5 to 10 percent of the assassin sect''s assets, the next mission in this series mission will be unlocked. Reward:- A single minor realm breakthrough. Additional rewards:- Depending on the percent of the destruction, additional rewards will be awarded. ''Just like I expected,'' Ajax was not surprised by much with the system because he already guessed it was rted to the assassin sect. ''Even though the reward is only a single minor realm, I willplete it,'' Since Ajax already wanted to start his destruction n as soon as possible, he didn''t even bother topletely read the mission description as he decided toplete the mission. ''I will start with the assassination circle as it is just 100 kilometres away from here,'' Although there were some of the shops rted to the assassin sect in the Goldcrest town, they were not worth much; however, assassination circle was an important asset to the assassin sect. Assassination circle is the ce simr to the mercenary guild; however, they will only ept the assassination missions. Except for the main members of the top powers, they will assassinate anyone in the Zrocheester province as long as they pay sufficient spirit stones and it generates a great amount of ie for the assassin sect. So, Ajax chose it as his first target as it was worth something to the assassin sect. ''Once the meeting with Captain Edmond is over, I can excuse myself to go out,'' Ajax started nning on what reason he should use to go out. ''Uff..uff,'' While Ajax was seriously nning for his first mission in the series mission, Paulin rushed towards them while heavily breathing. "Finally, I am here, Captain Edmond...uff...uff," As soon as he rushed near to them, Paulin looked at Edmond and replied with the same heavy breathing. "Come here and take rest," Edmond smiled a little before asking him to sit under the shade of the tree as he continued, "Now, listen carefully." All of a sudden, Captain Edmond became serious as he continued, "You two are the official summoners. The first and most important thing is that you have to hide it from everyone including me. Your every elemental spirit is a trump card for you." "Even though one can only form one official contract with an elemental spirit, you can form many unofficial contracts with the elemental spirit. So, I have one tip for you to get more unofficial elemental spirits," Edmond stopped and checked Paulin''s and Ajax''s faces to see whether they were attentive or not. However, after seeing their faces, he nodded his head and at the same time, a small smile reced his serious expression. Previously, Edmond had some doubt that Ajax was an official summoner; however, after seeing Necros, Edmond concluded that Ajax was an official summoner. So, he wanted to give some tips to both the young men in his mercenary squad. As for why he concluded like that was, an official elemental spirit''s cultivation was much fasterpared to an unofficial elemental spirit. So, after seeing Necros, whose cultivation had already reached the elemental general realm, he concluded Ajax as an official summoner. "Captian Edmond, what is that tip?" "Don''t kill us with this suspense," Edmond stopped right when the topic was getting interesting, which made both Ajax and Paulin curious and asked him to quickly say about that tip. "Although it iste to advise that tip. You still have one more chance. So, it will help you somewhat," Edmond felt it waste because both of them must have already formed an official contract with two elemental spirits. Nevertheless, he said that the tip would be useful for them. "Seal" After finishing his words, Edmond looked at Udo and soon after Udo used some technique to seal their surroundings. "Hear carefully, when you enter the elemental spirit world for your third elemental spirit, don''t form an official contract with the elemental spirit; instead convince the elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract," Edmond nodded his head at Udo before revealing the tip he learned from his own experience. "Huh? Why is that, Captain Edmond?" Hearing Edmond''s words, Ajax immediately asked him because he could not think how it was going to benefit him. Paulin also looked at Edmond and waited for an answer from him. ''Huh?'' Seeing the puzzled looks on Ajax and Paulin''s faces, a puzzled look appeared on Edmond''s face as he asked, "You didn''t form an unofficial contract with any elemental spirit? No, you already formed back when you entered the ''Summoner king''s inheritance ground''." Edmond didn''t understand why the young men in front of him were unable to find any difference between official contract and unofficial contract with an elemental spirit. Even though Ajax had many unofficial elemental spirits under him, Ajax didn''t find how it would benefit him in forming an unofficial contractpared to an official contract with an elemental spirit. Nevertheless, he remained silent and waited for Edmond to exin the reason behind his tip in forming unofficial contracts over the official contracts with the elemental spirits. ''Moreover, ording to me, forming an official contract with an elemental spirit is much easierpared to the unofficial contract with an elemental spirit,'' While waiting for the exnation from Edmond, Ajax silently thought in his head because most of the elemental spirits prefer to form an official contact. Officially contracted elemental spirits could terminate their official contract with the summoner if they didn''t like the attitude of the summoner in the future with only a little bacsh which could be recovered over time; however, unofficially contracted elemental spirits could only regret their bad selection of their master as only death could free their contract. "Fine. Before I exined the reason behind my tip. I have a question for you both," Edmond didn''t exin the reason; instead, he looked at their puzzled faces and decided to ask them a question. "Sure. Ask it, captain Edmond," Paulin and Ajax nodded their heads because they already knew that Captain Edmond would not exin to them the reason behind the tip unless they answered his question. So, they hurriedly nodded their heads. "How much time did you take to form an unofficial contract with your elemental spirits when you entered the elemental spirit world using the power of the summoner king," Edmond took a deep breath and asked them. ''Huh?'' When he heard that question, Ajax felt something was not right and waited for Paulin to answer Edmond''s question first. "It took me one hour to form an unofficial contract with icious," As for Paulin, he thought a little before answering Edmond''s question within no time. "What? One hour?" ''What? One hour?'' Both Edmond and Ajax were shocked to hear Paulin''s answer and turned their heads to see Paulin''s face. ***** Sorry for the irregr updates. I hope you understand it was not my intention not to release daily. Thanks for reading. Chapter 619: Spirit consciousness capacity

Chapter 619: Spirit consciousness'' capacity

''Wake me up when you go back to the residence,'' While Ajax and Edmond were shocked at Paulin''s answer, Udo felt bored with their conversation and rested his back on the ground. Udo was not a summoner much less an official one. So, he felt their talk was useless to him and rxed without paying any attention to them. As for Darbaurdr, he heard their words; however, his focus was mainly on their surroundings. "Yes...it took me one hour to form an unofficial contract with cious," Seeing their shocked looks, Paulin once again gave his answer. With Paulin''s words, both Edmond and Ajax came out of their shock and Edmond immediately turned his head towards Ajax and asked, "Why are you shocked? Did you take more time or less time?" That''s right! Even though both Ajax and Edmond were shocked by Paulin''s words. Their reasons for being shocked were different. Ajax was shocked because when he formed a contract with an elemental spirit whether it was an official one or an unofficial one, it took only a couple of minutes. As for Edmond, ording to what he knew regarding the contract time for an unofficial elemental spirit was minimum of two hours and maximum of three hours. Nevertheless, Edmond was curious about Ajax''s contract time. So, he asked for the unofficial contract time when he formed a contract with it. "It was 30 minutes, I guess," Ajax didn''t want to give a heart attack to Edmond and Paulin. So, he said 30 minutes. "Oh" Edmond revealed a smile when he heard Ajax''s answer. Paulin looked at Ajax with a surprised look on his face. "Captain Edmond. Now it is your turn to exin the tip you gave," Ajax just wanted to divert their attention from his contract time to something else. So, he asked Edmond to exin the tip. "Right. Generally, when you form a contract with an elemental spirit, it''s better to form an unofficial contract with the elemental spirits until a summon reach the elite general realm becausepared to the official spirits, the unofficial elemental spirits will take less time," Edmond stopped his exnation as he waited for some question from the other end. "Now that I think of it, when I form an official contract with Azurius and Aqualis, it took me more than 5 hours; however, since I formed a contract with them at the same time, I didn''t think much about it," Paulin nodded his head as he thought back to the time taken for forming an official contract with histest elemental spirits. "I was about to talk regarding that," Edmond looked at Ajax, who didn''t have any question to ask him before saying, "Since both of them are twins and share a spirit connection with one another, it took almost the same time as that of a regr official contract." "Let me give you even more detail regarding that," Edmond looked at Paulin''s face which still looked a little puzzled and continued, "For an official contract with an elemental spirit, it will take 5-6 hours whereas, for an unofficial contract, it will only take 2-3 hours. Since you will be having only 10 hours of time whenever you enter the elemental spirit world, it''s best to form more unofficial contracts with the elemental spirit. In that way, you will have more elemental spirits under you with various skills." "So, once we reach the elite general realm, we just have to form two official contracts with the two elemental spirits," Ajax nodded his head as he understood what Edmond was trying to say. Since they were still weaker, Captain Edmond suggests that having more elemental spirits would help a summoner in many situations. "I might enter the elemental spirit world in the next couple of days. I will definitely follow your advice, Captain Edmond," Paulin had already reached the general realm with the help of his elemental spirits. So, he could enter the elemental spirit within a couple of days. "However, let me tell you some of the disadvantages of my earlier advice," Just like every action, following his tip had its own disadvantages which Edmond wanted to exin to them before Paulin could enter the elemental spirit world. "What are they, Captain Edmond," Ajax became a little more excitedpared to Paulin because he was always curious about the elemental spirits and elemental spirit world. As for Paulin, he waited for Edmond''s exnation because Ajax had already said what he wanted to ask. "If you can''t fill all the official contracts with respect to your cultivation when you enter the elemental spirit world after reaching the elite general realm, it will be very difficult to enter the king realm. So, you better think about whether you can take that risk or not," Edmond warned both the young men in front of them. "However, if you are sessful, you will have 3 times of the elemental spirits along with all the official elemental spirits," Edmond ended his words with the advantages of his advice. "But if we fail to form the official contract when we reach the elite general realm, then we will be the weakest summoners in history. Moreover, no matter how many unofficial elemental spirits we have, in the long future, the official elemental spirits will be powerful," Paulin felt a little wary after he heard Edmond''s advantages and disadvantages of his advice. In that, the disadvantages clearly outweigh the advantages and felt he needed to think a little more about Edmond''s advice. ''I don''t have anything to worry about it. For me, both official and unofficial elemental spirits are the same and it will take the same time for both of them. Moreover, I have already pre-contracted with a space elemental spirit and with his help, I can find more elemental spirits easily to form unofficial contracts with them,'' In the case of Ajax, his thinking waspletely different from Paulin as Ajax didn''t have to worry about the contract time. So, he maintained a rxed look on his face. Moreover, the elemental spirits that were powerful in Ajax''s inner world were all unofficial elemental spirits only. So, Ajax didn''t bother much about it. "Actually, the disadvantage is not much," Soon, Edmond changed his own words making Paulin confused; however, Paulin didn''t say anything as he listened to Edmond''s words, "When you reach the elite general realm, the contract time will be lessened by 40-50 percent depending on the capacity of the spirit consciousness. So, try to increase your spirit consciousness''s capacity and follow my advice." "So, it depends on my spirit consciousness'' capacity. Right now, I just crossed 10000 units of the essence of nature in spirit consciousness'' capacity. So, what is the minimum spirit consciousness capacity?" Paulin nodded his head as he said his current spirit consciousness and asked for the required spirit consciousness. "By the time, you reach the elite general realm, try to maintain at least 25000 units for not having any problems," Edmond didn''t think much before answering Pauli''s question because it was not a tough question at all. "Oh. So, that must be the reason for my abnormal strength and easy contracts with elemental spirits." Ajax felt that must be the case for why his contract was smooth with the elemental spirits. After hearing the conversation between Paulin and Captain Edmond, Ajax got a rough approximation about the spirit consciousness'' capacity with the cultivation realms. "..." As for Paulin he was speechless with Edmond''s words because getting to the 10000 units of spirit consciousness capacity was already a wonder for him and now he wants him to have 25000 units of spirit consciousness''s capacity. Paulin knows that a cultivator who had a solid foundation would get 1000 units of spirit consciousness''s capacity with each minor realm breakthrough in their cultivation after reaching general realm adding with the increment thats with the spirit cultivation technique. So, reaching 25000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity was a very difficult thing for them. "I know what you are thinking, Paulin. You used almost all the items that could increase the spirit consciousness'' capacity; however, if you get selected by my vagrant cultivators, then you don''t have to worry. Now, the decision is yours," Edmond gave some assurance to Paulin in increasing the spirit consciousness'' capacity before looking at Ajax. "As for you, I think, you don''t have any more doubts," Edmond looked at Ajax as he asked him. Chapter 620: Black robed old man

Chapter 620: ck robed old man

In the depths of the cursed wilderness, ''I didn''t think father will easily agree to me to go into the depth of the cursed wilderness that easily,'' A beautiful woman donned in light green coloured dress muttered in a barely audible voice while searching for something. ''It is because you allowed your marriage decision to him. After you said that, he was over the moon and nodded his head without thinking much,'' Beside her, there was a ck coloured lion around the same height as the beautiful woman. ''Tap'' "Brave, why are you remembering the thing I hate the most. I don''t want to marry anyone anytime soon," As soon as she heard the words of the ck lion, the beautiful woman stopped in her tracks and lightly tapped the head of the ck lion beside her. That''s right! The beautiful woman was none other than Keshe and the ck lion beside her was the Demonic lion king which was named Brave. After promising Ajax about searching for his friends in the cursed wilderness, she started searching the entire middle section of the cursed wilderness; however, she could not find a clue about Ajax''s friends. So, she decided to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness with her father''s permission in a condition that she had to marry someone. To which, Keshe nodded her head and easily got the permission and a ring from her father. "With this ring, no powerful spirit beast kings will bother us and we can venture the depths of the cursed wilderness without any problem," Keshe lightly touched the green coloured ring on her finger and said to the demonic lion king. "So, why are you doing this for him? Do you like him or more than that? My dear master," The demonic lion king asked Keshe while letting out some growls as though he was teasing her. Despite the Demonic lion king being a servant of Keshe, she never looked at him like a servant and treated him like a friend. "Punch" This time, Keshe didn''t tap the demonic lion king''s head; instead, she punched him before saying, "It''s not like what you think. I treat him like my little brother because he was different from all the humans and I felt some kind of closeness towards him just like my big brother." After finishing her words, Keshe became a little sad as she recalled about her big brother. "Your brother is the reason for the rise of spirit beasts'' knowledge and he said he wille back when he has some time. So, don''t worry," The demonic lion king tried to console her while lightly patting her head with its huge lion paw. "Huh?" All of a sudden, the sad expression on her face changed and was reced with an angry one as she shouted at the demonic lion king, "How many times do I have to tell you. Don''t keep your dirty paw in my head." "Haha...just like always, I forgot that," The demonic lion kingughed as he removed his paw from her head. "Also, I have another reason toe into the depths of the cursed wilderness other than searching for Ajax''s friends," With the same angry look on her face, Keshe mysteriously replied to the demonic lion king. "I know it already...Haha," The demonic lion king was staying with Keshe since he was a cub. So, he knew many things about Keshe. And he replied that he also knew her other reason to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness. "..." Keshe wanted to keep the demonic lion king in the suspense; however, he made her speechless with his words. "From your childhood, you said you wanted to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness and you just found the exact time to ask your father to allow you," The demonic lion king replied while moving forward. "That''s right! However, I still didn''t understand why my father allowed me to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness all of a sudden," Keshe still had many doubts regarding her father''s permission to enter the depths of the cursed wilderness because he didn''t allow her from her childhood saying that she should not enter the depths of the cursed wilderness. Nevertheless, she didn''t ask because she worried her father might change his mind and stop her from entering the depths of the cursed wilderness. "Keshe¡­.someone ising," ''Swoosh'' While they were having some conversation, the demonic lion king sensed some energy fluctuations; however, before he could finish his sentence,?someone stood in front of them. ''Everything will be fine. I have the ring from the father,'' Keshe unconsciously touched the ring on her finger and calmed down and looked at the sudden appearance of an old man in front of them. The old man stared at them whereas they didn''t dare to match the eye contact with them because they were unable to sense the cultivation of the old man in front of him. "Swoosh" Just as Keshe and the demonic lion king were wondering what to do now, another old man in green robes appeared and stood in front of them while facing the old man from earlier. "Uncle" "Master" Keshe and the demonic lion king became happy when they saw the second old man and greeted him. The old man nodded his head at them before looking at the old man in ck robes and asked, "Respected master, we didn''t know it was your territory. Sorry for disturbing you. Can you please let us off?" "Ths is not my territory and you can go; however, I am using this ce for some more days. Spread the word to other spirit beasts not to enter this region," The old man in ck robes looked at the old man in green robes along with Keshe and the demonic lion king behind him for a moment before replied to the old man. "Yes, respected master," Keshe''s uncle nodded his head with a tone full of respect. ''What the hell? Why is my uncle so respectful to him?'' ''I have never seen my master respect someone other than Keshe''s father,'' Both Keshe and the demonic lion king looked at the old man in ck robes with fearful faces. ording to them, Keshe''s uncle was already powerful and only weaker than her father; however, seeing that he was so polite to them, their minds were in a frenzy. "Let''s go" After hearing the ck-robed old man''s words, Keshe''s uncle hurriedly said to Keshe and the demonic lion king. Without speaking a single word, both of them turned back and started following the green-robed old man. "Uncle, is the old man more powerful than you?" After moving some distance away, Keshe asked the green-robed old man. "Yes. He is much stronger than your father and anyone I have met in my life," The green-robed old man wiped the sweat from his forehead as he continued, "Moreover, the pressure I felt earlier was making my heart unsettled even now." "What?" Both Keshe and the demonic lion king were shocked by the green-robed old man''s words and unconsciously shouted out loud. At the same time, they noticed that the green-robed man''s whole body was still having a slight shiver and felt his words were real. "Don''t shout. We still don''t know who he is and what he is doing here. He might change his mind and kill us all here," The green-robed old man hurriedly asked them to calm down. Without wasting a second, Keshe closed her mouth and turned back her head to nce at the old man in the ck robes. "I think he is not from our province. I need to inform your father about this old man. So, we need to get out of here as soon as possible," Even though the green-robed old man said those words, he didn''t run; instead, he slowly walked and made others walk just like him fearing that the ck-robed old man mighte after them. "If he is stronger than my father, then his cultivation must be¡­..," "Wait for a second, youngdy," Before Keshe could finish her sentence, she heard a low but powerful voice from behind her which made everyone halt in their steps. "What is it, respected master," As soon as he heard those words, Keshe''s uncle hurriedly moved and stood in front of Keshe and asked the ck-robed man. "How do you know, Ajax?" Chapter 621: Going on a mission

Chapter 621: Going on a mission

In the open ground behind the Hazegroove squad building, Edmond finished exining and answering all the questions that Paulin and Ajax asked. Compared to Paulin, Ajax asked very few questions which made Edmond ask him whether he still had any more questions to ask. "Actually, I have one," Unexpected to Edmond''s expectations, Ajax replied to him as he continued, "Actually, it''s a personal question." "Personal questions can wait. If you have any questions regarding the elemental spirits, you can ask them first," Edmond knew what Ajax wanted to ask. So, he stopped him from asking for it for a while. "I don''t have any," Ajax shook his head as he now had some rity about the contract time and to ask more questions, he had to experience something new about the elemental spirits and the elemental spirit world. "What about you, Paulin?" Edmond looked at Paulin and asked whether he had any more doubts regarding the summoning and the elemental spirits. "Currently, I don''t have any. I will ask you when I have any more doubts, Captain Edmond," Paulin shook his head as he replied to Edmond. "Okay," Edmond nodded his head before looking at Ajax and continued, "I know what you want to ask and the answer is ''Yes''." ''Oh'' Ajax opened his mouth to ask something; however, he didn''t ask for some reason. "As for more details, even Udo doesn''t know about it. So, you won''t get any more answers about it," Edmond revealed a slight smile as he didn''t wait for Ajax to say something before continuing, "As I said earlier, keep your trumps cards to yourselves and only reveal them only when you need them." "I understood, Captain Edmond," Both Paulin and Ajax nodded their heads at the same time understanding Edmond''s words and didn''t bother him by asking about his elemental spirits and other things rted to it. Among the youngsters in the Hazegrove mercenary squad, only Ajax and Paulin were able to find out that their Captain was an official summoner and after hearing the advice about the contract, they also concluded that their captain must have many elemental spirits. However, all these were their assumptions and decided to wait until Edmond openly shows his elemental spirits. "Good. Now, leave to your rooms and increase your cultivation as much as possible for the disciple selection," Edmond asked them to leave to their rooms and pped Udo, making him wake up from his sleep. "Let''s go and check the items from the guild master," Edmond said to Udo and Darbaudr before walking behind the young men. "Captain Edmond, I want to go out as I need some materials from the market square," All of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his tracks and turned back to Edmond and informed him. Since he had to travel at least 300 km to and fro,?it was impossible for him to hide from Edmond and others. So, he decided to lie by saying that he would go to the mercenary guild''s market square to buy some items. Moreover, he couldn''t say to Captain Edmond and others that he would be going to destroy the assassination circle of the assassin sect. "Huh?" Edmond raised his brows when he heard that and asked Ajax, "Is it very important to go out at a time like this?" Just an hour ago, there was an assassination attempt on Ajax. So, Edmond felt it was too risky to go out now. So, he asked Ajax regarding it. "It is important. I just learned a new recipe that could help my elemental spirits to increase their cultivation. So¡­.," "Okay then. Take Darbaudr along with you. Even if something happens, he will save you," Before Ajax could finish his words, Edmond interrupted him as he suggested Ajax to take Darbaudr along with him. "Sure, Captain Edmond," Ajax nodded his head. In the mission, there was no restriction of using Darbaudr. So, Ajax instantly agreed to it. "Darbaudr, we will look after your items until youe back," Edmond looked at Darbaudr and said to him about some items before leaving to his room along with Udo and Paulin. "Let''s go, Darbaudr," Since he had many things to do now, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he ordered the barbarian to follow him. Soon, Ajax and Darbaudr rushed out of the squad residence building. ''Huh?'' However, after rushing some distance, Darbaudr raised his brows because they were moving in the path that would lead them out of the Goldcrest town. Nevertheless, he didn''t ask Ajax anything as his only duty was to protect Ajax. "We are going to take the revenge for the earlier incident," How could the change in barbarian''s expression was not noticed by Ajax? Moreover, he knew about Darbaudr very well. So, he slowly informed him about his next actions. "Oh. Just say the name of the energy, master. I will try my best to test down the enemy," Darbaudr said in a low yet powerful voice as he was still angry about the earlier assassination attempt. "We are not that powerful yet to fight a head to head war with them. We are just going to destroy one of their main sources of ie," Ajax revealed a small smile as he shook his head before replying to Darbaurdr. "Sigh" Hearing those words, Darbaudr felt helpless as he clenched his fists while controlling his anger. Before he was thrown into the Zrochester province, Darabaudr was just one step away from reaching the King realm; however, with the seals in his spirit consciousness, he was not able to use his full strength much less having hopes of reaching the King realm within a short time. ''I still have three more seals blocking me from using my full strength,'' Darbardr clenched his fists and sighed. With Ajax''s help, two of the five seals have been unsealed and his cultivation had reached the level 1 of the elite general realm; however, with his many years of experience and unique skills rted to space and other techniques, he was able to kill level 5 elite general realm cultivators. But if they were attacked by peak elite general realm cultivators, even Darbaudr didn''t have confidence in defeating them. So, all he could do when they meet some peak elite general realm cultivators were to escape using his space-rted skills. "Darbaudr, I totally forget about the seals in your spirit consciousness. I will soon find a way to break another one of your seals," When he saw Darbaudr''s helplessness, Ajax consoled him by saying that he would help him with the seals. Until now, Ajax was very busy with one thing after another and with that, he forgot about the seals in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness. Nevertheless, he needed Darbaudr''s help if he decided to go against a top power like the assassin sect. So, he felt he needed to find a way to unseal his spirit consciousness. ''By the way, Captain Edmond was saying something regarding the items. What are they?'' Ajax felt a little curious as he asked the barbarian about what Edmond was talking about before they left the open ground. ''Oh. It was nothing. The guild master used the ''six vagrant cultivators'' title, to get some items from the top powers for not sending the reinforcements in a timely manner. In which, the guild master decided to give some items to us which might help us to reach peak elite general realm in the shortest time possible,'' Darbaudr didn''t hide anything from Ajax as he exined everything that happened in the past few days which made Ajax excited. However, Darbaudr didn''t not any interest in the items that were avable in the Zrochester province. Moreover, his young master had items which were more valuable than some of the items in his own province. So, he didn''t even bother to check the items given by the guild master and decided to leave it to Captain Edmond. "You are such a fool," Ajax scolded Darbaudr for being careless regarding the items because no one knows what valuable items that the guild master had given them. "Sorry master. I will be careful from now on," Taking the scolding from Ajax, Darbaudr nodded his head and felt that his young master didn''t like to throw away an item even if it was less valuable. "We don''t know what item we will need in the future. So, you have to be careful," Ajax shook his head as continued to exin, "Let''s take our case as an example." Soon, Ajax started an example and Darbaudr started listening to it while silently following behind Ajax. "If we have a middle-grade upgrade stone and a sess stone, we could upgrade the ''Seal breakingpass''. With that we can release another seal from your spirit consciousness," Ajax stopped running and turned back to look at Darabudr before finishing his words. "Sorry master. I used to aloof to these items from the past. So, I didn''t think much about it," Darbaudr finally understood what Ajax was trying to say and apologized to Ajax. "There is no need to apologize to me," Ajax shook his head as he continued, "To break the seals from your spirit consciousness, you also need to be focused with the items around you; otherwise it will take a long time if?I am the only one search for items like that." Ajax just wanted Darbaudr to be conscious about the items around him. "..." Darbaudr nodded his head but didn''t say anything. "Let''s fly from here," All of a sudden, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he called out, "Twilight, it''s time to destroy." Chapter 622: Gifts

Chapter 622: Gifts

While talking with one another, Ajax and Darbaudr came out of the Goldcrest town and as soon as they came out, Ajax looked at his surroundings before summoning the destructive twilight dragon. Just like what Captain Edmond had said earlier, he wished to hide all his trump cards to give his enemies a surprise. ''Roar'' As soon as the destructive dragon was summoned out of the inner world, he roared at the sky as usual. ''Idiot. Stop roaring; otherwise, everyone wille here,'' Ajax hurriedly ordered the dragon to stop roaring and looked at the barbarian before saying, "Darbaudr, let''s go." ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax pointed in the direction of the assassination circle and the dragon flew in that direction at an incredible speed. ...¡­. In the depths of the cursed wilderness, While Ajax was starting his revenge on the assassin sect, the atmosphere of a specific region in the depths of the cursed wilderness was very silent. "How do you know, Ajax?" Just when Keshe and others were leaving the area where they met a ck-robed man, the ck-robed old man himself asked while looking at Keshe. "Huh? We don''t know anyone by that name, respected master," Keshe''s uncle hurriedly came forward and stood in front of Keshe as he replied to the ck-robed old man. "Am I talking to you?" The ck-robed man slightly waved his hand and Keshe''s uncle fell to the ground. ''Aargh'' Moreover, from the looks of it, Keshe''s uncle was under so much pain that he started groaning. "I know... I know him," Keshe hurriedly replied to the ck-robed old man with a face full of worry and started exining how she met Ajax and how Ajax requested her to search for his friends. "Haha...Good," As soon as Keshe started exining, the ck-robed old man retracted his cultivation pressure from the green-robed old man and once she finished exining he nodded his head whileughing out. "Senior¡­," "The so-called friends of his are with me and I am taking care of their training," Before Keshe could ask a question in her mind, the ck-robed old man replied with a slight smile on his face. That''s right! The ck-robed old man was none other than Elder Boron, who was training Damon and others in the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. "What?" Keshe was shocked and for some reason, she felt a little happy before saying, "Senior, Ajax was worried about his friends. Can I inform Ajax about his friends being here? So that he coulde and visit them?" "No, you can''t say that," Elder Boron shook his head rejecting Keshe''s words. ''Why?'' Keshe didn''t dare to ask out loud but she silently thought in her head and at the same time she continued thinking, ''So, he is the Elder Boron that Ajax muttered thest time he is with me.'' When they meet in the middle section of the cursed wilderness a couple of days, Ajax mutters Elder Boron''s name a couple of times. At that time, she thought that Elder Boron was Ajax''s teacher and didn''t think much about it. However, that same Elder Boron was stronger than her father. Just thinking about it made her wonder about Ajax''s origins. "However, you can say that his friends are with Elder Boron and also, you say that you found this letter in a wooden house in the depths of the cursed wilderness," Elder Boron took a scroll out of nowhere and tossed it at Keshe before saying,?"Don''t try to read it. Other than Ajax, no one could open it." "Okay senior," Keshe nodded her head and her ns of venturing the depths of the cursed wilderness disappeared. Currently, she only wants to go back to her father and inform about this ck-robed old man. "Wait a second. Why are you in such a hurry?" However, before he could even take a step, Elder Boron stopped her and asked them why they were in such a hurry?. ''What is it, senior? I promise you that today''s events will not be known to others,'' Keshe felt that Elder Boron must have read her thoughts. So, she hurriedly promised not to reveal a single thing about what happened here. "Haha...I hope you do that'' however, I stopped you for something else," Looking at the fearful expression on Keshe''s face, Elder Boron felt a little funny andughed as he continued, "Since you saved Ajax, he is a small thing for you and the little lion." While saying that, Elder Boron tossed two shining items at her before disappearing from his ce. One item was a crystal which was shining with ck light and the other one was a shining small shield. "Huh?" Keshe caught them as looked at the two items in her hands with a curious look on her face; however, she was unable to find out what they were. At the same time, she didn''t dare to ask about them because items from an expert who was stronger than his father would be very valuable. ''Th..these are¡­,'' However, Keshe''s uncle was shocked when he saw the items in Keshe''s hands and stammered for a while before hurriedly said to Keshe, "Keshe and Brave, thank the respected master for his gifts." How could he not notice the items with his level of experience? So, he asked them to bow to Elder Boron. "However, Elder Born is gone," Keshe shook her head. Nevertheless, she and the demonic lion king bowed at the ce where Elder Boron was standing earlier. "Now, uncle. Can you tell us what these items are?" After bowing, Keshe asked her uncle because of his earlier expression. "Let''s go from here, first. I will exin everything along the way," With that, he took Keshe and the demonic lion king hurriedly rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "That ck crystal is for Brave," After travelling some distance, Keshe''s uncle started exining about one of the items in Keshe''s hand. "In that crystal, a cultivation technique, specific for Demonic lions, is stored. With that help, he could re-cultivate just like your brother," The green-robed old man didn''t exin everything at once and allowed Keshe and the demonic lion king to get his words. "What? A re-cultvation technique?" Keshe and the demonic lion king were shocked at first andter it turned into a pleasant surprise. "Haha...Brave, finally we can both re-cultivate," After surprising her emotions, Keshe patted the demonic lion king''s ck coloured mane and said with augh. For each spirit beast, to re-cultivate into humanoid forms, there would be different cultivation techniques. Somewhile ago, Keshe''s mysterious big brother had sent a re-cultivation technique for her and because of Ajax, she postponed her re-cultivation process for a week. However, now her best friend also got a re-cultivation technique specific for himself. So, she was very happy because now they could both re-cultivate at the same time. Currently, Keshe and her uncle were in a transformed form and it was not a permanent one. Once she re-cultivated, then she wouldn''t be in purely human form;?instead, she would be in a humanoid form of a forest fairy. "Keshe, Brave, you two the first spirit beasts to re-cultivate in the entire Zrochester province. So, be careful as we yet to find out the difficulties of the process," Keshe''s uncle warned her about the entire re-cultivation process. "Big brother has already re-cultivated. So, there is no need to worry about it, right?" Keshe asked with a question mark on her face. "Your brother didn''t re-cultivate in this world; moreover, his cultivation was very high when he re-cultivated. So, just be careful," Keshe''s uncle warned them. "Sure, uncle," Keshe nodded her head before asking, "I am still unable to believe that we got a re-cultivation technique that easily." For her, in the entire Zrochester province, it was impossible to find it because she saw how many resources her father had used to search for a re-cultivation; however, he still didn''t find a single thing clue about it. ''He didn''t even hesitate while tossing these items,'' Keshe''s questions about this so-called Elder Boron and Ajax increased very much. "He is so powerful. I doubt that he is already a king-realm cultivator," Keshe''s uncle started expressing his views and continued, "Just don''t think much andplete his orders of giving the scroll to Ajax. After that start your re-cultivation process." ording to Keshe''s uncle, it was not a good thing to dig deeper into the actions and mysteries behind some powerful experts because they would not know what they would discover and when they find something that the powerful expert was trying to hide, then what would happen to them. "By the way, when are you going to meet that young man?" After finishing his words, the green-robed old man didn''t give any time for Keshe as he asked her. "After two days, at the intersection of the middle-section and outer section of the cursed wilderness," Keshe said the time and ce of their meeting with Ajax to her uncle. "Good. Please don''t say more than what the expert had said. Otherwise, it will be the end of your father''s?rule in the middle section of the cursed wilderness," The green-robed old man was still in fear about what Keshe would say to the young man. So, he warned her. "I know, uncle," Keshe nodded her head and asked, "Since you exined about the ck crystal then what this small shield is useful for?" Soon, Keshe asked about the other item she had received from the ck-robed old man. Chapter 623: Mindless Beggar?

Chapter 623: Mindless Beggar?

Keshe''s uncle looked at the small shining shield in Keshe''s hands and shook his head before saying, "With my level of proficiency in the appraisal profession, I am unable to tell what that item is used for; however, your father will definitely know about it." Keshe was shocked at her uncle''s words because her uncle was a level 4 appraiser and he could clearly appraise any item before legendary grade items. So, she thought, ''Don''t tell me that Elder Boron tossed a legendary item at me without thinking twice.'' ''Who is Ajax and what is his rtionship with this Elder that he casually gifted a legend grade item for just saving him,'' Soon, Keshe''s doubts started rising in her head; however, all she could now was suppress them. ''Let''s hurry up,'' Keshe''s uncle just wanted to inform everything that happened to Keshe''s father, the ruler of the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' All three of them were rank 6 spirit beasts. So, they were able to move at an incredible speed. ...¡­ While Keshe and others were rushing to meet their father, Ajax and Darbaudr were flying on the back of the purple-coloured dragon towards the assassination circle. ''Swoosh'' ''Twilight, let''snd there,'' Ajax looked at the distant ck coloured tower-shaped building and asked the destructive twilight dragon tond onto the ground. Since flying on a dragon was very high-profile, Ajax wanted it tond even before they reach the assassination circle. ''Roar'' With a roar, the dragonnded on the ground. ''Sigh...how many times should I warn you about not roaring out loud,'' Ajax sighed at the actions of the destructive dragon; however, except for sighing, he didn''t do anything. Next, he looked at the sharp dagger-like building top that was pointing at the sky. The building was the none other than the assassination circle''s operation center. In that building, all types of assassination missions would be ced with a specific reward. To put it in simple words, the assassination circle was simr to the mercenary guild; however, the assassination circle only epts the assassination missions with some special rules. ''Hmm...how should I destroy it?'' From the moment, they left the Goldcrest town, Ajax was thinking of a n on how to destroy this main asset of the assassination sect. ''Darbaudr, catch one assassin who will be entering that building,'' After thinking for a moment, he finally one n and ordered the barbarian to bring one assassin that was working in the assassination circle. ''Yes, young master,'' As soon as he received Ajax''s mission, he disappeared from his ce toplete the mission. Ajax knew that Darbaudr would not have any problem with kidnapping one of the assassins without anyone noticing. So, he gave him that mission. ''Once I get some information about the assassination circle''s power structure, I will know what should I change with my n to destroy it,'' Before going to war, it was best to know as much information as possible about your enemy; otherwise, no matter how powerful you were, you would definitely receive some damage from the war. That''s what Elder Boron had taught him and what Ajax was doing as the first step of his n. "Twilight, why don''t you back into the inner world and rest for some time, I will call you when it is time and then show others what you are made up of," Ajax didn''t wait for the reply from the dragon as he directly sent it back into the inner world because for his n, that dragon needs to be inside the inner world. ''Tap'' ''Tap'' Ajax didn''t know what to do as he walked from here and there while waiting for Darbaudr to bring an assassin. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' ''Ouch'' ''Young master, here is an assassin, who imed that he?knew everything about the assassination circle,'' Ajax didn''t wait for much longer before Darbaurdr rushed from the direction of the assassination circle''s main building along with an assassin. ''Are you sure he is an assassin? To me, he looks more like a beggar,'' Ajax carefully looked at the person brought by Darbaudr and asked him while squinting. The person brought by Darbaudr was wearing the uniform of the assassination circle which was a ck coloured robe with red coloured dagger symbol on the chest of the robe. However, his robe was tattered at multiple ces and his hair was messy. There was a pungent smelling from that person and Ajax guessed that he didn''t take a bath for weeks or maybe months. Moreover, the most important thing was, there was not a single ounce of cultivation and upon closer observation, Ajax found out that his spirit consciousness was broken. So, Ajax shook his head and looked at the barbarian as he asked whether he was an assassin or a beggar. "Young master, he is definitely an outcast of the assassination circle and moreover, he was shouting very openly in front of the building and except for ring at him, the assassins, inside the building, were doing nothing. I thought he might know something," Darbaudr replied to Ajax with a bow. "That might be the case; however, it seems that he has some problems with his head," Ajax nodded his head at Darbaudr''s exnation; however, he was still not convinced at Darbaudr''s action of bringing an insane person. "Haha...that''s where you are wrong, young master. Wait for a second," Unexpected to Ajax''s expectations, Darbaudrughed for a second as he turned his head at the person, who was staring into a thin air like a mindless person and shouted, ''If you don''t stop acting now, I am going to kill you now.'' As soon as he finished his words, Daraudr summoned a sword from his space ring as he ced it at the mindless person''s next and revealed an evil grin. "Wait wait wait...don''t kill me. Don''t kill me. I can''t die yet. I have to witness the destruction of the Assassin sect. Please don''t kill me," All of a sudden, the mindless beggar started begging Darbaudr in order not to kill him. ''What the...'' Ajax was shocked to see the sudden change in the behaviour of the mindless beggar. "Now, my young master has some questions for you. Answer them, first. Depending on your information, I will think about your life and death," Darbaudr said in a low yet powerful voice that made the so-called mindless beggar shiver and he hurriedly nodded his head. "Wait," Before the mindless beggar coulde near to him, Ajax asked him to stop and turned his head towards Darbaudr before saying, "Before that, throw him into that water pond and ask him to clean himself." "Yes, young master," Darbaudr nodded his head and with one hand, he picked the mindless beggar whereas his other hand was on his nose. The stenching from the mindless beggar was unbearable and moreover, since Darbaudr and Ajax were the cultivators, their senses were very sharp which made it even more unbearable for them. That was the reason why Ajax wanted him to have a shower before he could interrogate him. "You heard my young master. Go and clean yourself," Darbaudr threw him into the water pond and kept a new set of clean clothes at the edge of the water pond. ''I wonder what happened to him that made him act as a mindless beggar,'' Ajax patiently waited for Darbaudr and the mindless beggar toe back. While waiting, he unconsciously thought about the mindless beggar. ''Moreover, he said that he wanted to live to see the destruction of the assassin sect with his eyes,'' Ajax recalled the words of the beggar when the barbarian was trying to kill him which made him feel that the beggar would help him in destroying the assassination circle. ''Young master,'' While Ajax was in his thoughts, Darabudr along with a middle-aged man with an average look came towards him. "Yes," Ajax woke up from his thoughts and looked at the middle-aged man who waspletely different from earlier. No one would believe that he was the mindless beggar. That was apletely different appearancepared to before. "Young master, what do you want to know about the assassination circle? I can answer anything you want to know to the best of my knowledge," Just like the barbarian, the middle-aged man also called Ajax, as teh young master and asked what Ajax wanted to know about the assassination circle. At the same time, he promised that he would answer to the best of his knowledge. "Before you answer my questions regarding the assassination circle, I want to know about you. Who are you? What happened to you? To put it simply, I want to know your entire story," Ajax nodded his head at the middle-aged man''s words; however, Ajax asked him to tell them about his story and why he ended up acting as a mindless beggar in front of the assassination circle. ''...'' The middle-aged man remained silent for a few moments after hearing Ajax''s questions as he hesitated about something. "My young master is not asking, he is ordering you to tell your story. You better don''t waste our time. If you don''t want to answer, we can find another one from the assassination circle," When he saw that the middle-aged man remained silent, Darbaudr used his cultivation pressure on him as he said to him. "I will tell...I will tell," the middle-aged man could feel that the bar barbarian was not lying when he saw he would kill him. So, he nodded his head and started talking about his story. Chapter 624: Lechners past

Chapter 624: Lechner''s past

Ajax carefully started listening to the story of the mindless beggar because he felt there might be something useful for him from his story that could help him. "My name is Lechner. I was an orphan and had to work very hard to enter the assassination circle. When ites to killing, I would have not cared about anything. With my sessful assassinations along with the rewards and money, I used every bit of time for my cultivation to increase it as high as possible. Finally, after years of hard work, I am finally able to be a gold-ranked assassin," Saying till here, the middle-aged man named Lechner paused for a bit before continuing, "When I was on an assassination mission, I was set up by a higher-up of the assassination circle for retorting his words. Nevertheless, I was able to sessfully escape from the trap set by them; however,ter I found out that thee trap was not set up by the higher up of the assassination circle; instead, it was a direct order from the assassination sect." All of a sudden, the middle-aged man clenched his fists as his eyes turned red and started crying for some reason. "Calm down calm down," Ajax felt that the middle-aged man was truly crying and asked him to calm down before saying, "If you don''t want to say about your past, it''s fine. Just inform me about the power structure of the assassination circle." "No. Let me share it with someone. The pain is killing me," The middle-aged man shook his head as he replied to Ajax while wiping the tears off of his eyes. Ajax nodded his head and allowed him to say. "That damned assassination sect used my wife and my 2-year old son to bring me out of hiding. Even though I surrendered to them, they killed my family in front of my own eyes. Later, they broke my dantian and said, ''This is what happens when you don''t follow the rules of the assassination sect''," The middle-aged man''s knees fell to the ground as he mmed the ground with all his force. "This is my retribution for killing all those people throughout the years. It cost me the lives of my family. I don''t have the power to take revenge on the assassin sect," Finally, the middle-aged man med himself for the death of his wife and son. "Sigh" Ajax and Darbaudr both sighed at the middle-aged man. Ajax didn''t feel pity or anger regarding the past of the middle-aged man. He simply sighed as he asked, "What did you do that the assassin sect punished you to this extent." No matter who evil the assassin sect was, it would not simply kill someone for no reason. Even the massacre in the Silver Orphanage by the assassin sect must have some reason and Ajax was on a mission to find out the reason and at the same time to take revenge on them. So, he asked the reason for the actions of the assassin sect. "Sigh...I epted a mission but I didn''t feel right toplete the mission. So, I dropped from the mission in the middle. Later, I found out that the mission was not sessful and they med me," The middle-aged man sighed as he exined the reason for the cruel actions of the assassin sect. "Huh? What is the mission? Why didn''t you feel good about it?" Ajax raised his brows when he heard the middle-aged man''s words because ording to the middle-aged man''s self-evaluation, he didn''t feel anything when killing someone. So many questions raised in Ajax''s heart. They were ''What?was the mission'' ''Why did he feel it was not right'' ¡­ ¡­ Many questions that made Ajax wanted to know more about the mission. "The mission was to kill every single child below 15 years old in a particr city. I don''t kill children and at the same time, I will not encourage those kinds of missions in the assassination circle. That made the upper echelon of the assassin sect quite angry,'' Lechner answered Ajax''s question without thinking much. The reason, he was so cooperative and answered everything about his past because, the middle-aged man felt that Ajax had some kind of grudge with the assassin sect and with the barbarian''s strength, it might be possible for them to destroy the assassination circle with his help. Lechner knew how valuable the assassination circle was to the assassin sect. So, he was very co-operative with them. Moreover, he even had a n on how to destroy the assassination circle. He was just waiting to know what Ajax and Darbaudr were nning to do to the assassination circle. "Huh?" As soon as he heard the middle-aged man''s words, Ajax raised his brows as he slowly asked Lechner, "What is the city name?" Ajax felt like he already knew the name of the city name; however, he wanted to get confirmation of it. "Hmm...I think it is called Valor or Vr city," The middle-aged man thought for a moment before saying that name of the city; however, he didn''t know the exact name. "So, the assassin sect used the assassination circle for the massacre," Ajax clenched his fists as he nodded his head. "No, the assassin sect ordered me to lead the mission with the assassin sect disciples for their practice; however, I didn''t like it and tried to spread about the event. But my luck was very bad and before I could even spread about the incident, the assassin sect acted first," Lechner shook his head. "Damn pigs. Did they use the lives of the children for a practice? How cruel. This kind of sect should be destroyed," Ajax clenched his fists as he felt frustrated. "They wanted a gold-ranked assassin to overlook andplete the mission; however, since I don''t kill children, I dropped in the middle without prior notice to the sect," The middle-aged man felt that the young man in front of him was acting weird all of a sudden; however, he said that reason they wanted him to overlook the mission. ''If he really came to the Vr city that night, I think, I and my friends would have not escaped,'' Ajax felt the middle-aged man''s principle of not killing children had saved him and his friends on that particr night. Even though Lechner was a cold-blooded assassin that didn''t feel anything when killing others, he stayed true to his principle which made Ajax nod at the middle-aged man. The reason he became an assassin was that he was good at that and since he was an orphan with no one to take care of him, he believed the killing was the only thing that could provide him food and money. However, his perspective changed after he married a woman he loved and with the arrival of a third member into his family, he lost interest in killing. From that moment, killing others didn''t interest him and only killed those who truly deserved to die and as for others, he kept on rejecting the missions. Until he fell into the eyes of the assassin sect and with his actions of dropping the mission from the assassin sect itself, it sessfully brought the catastrophe to him and his family. "The reason we brought you here because I need some information regarding the assassination circle. So that I can destroy it. Moreover, in the future, I am going to destroy the assassin sect," Ajax felt like giving some information about what he was going to the middle-aged man which might help them get even more information from him. "What? You are going to destroy the assassin sect?" Lechner didn''t believe his words and said, "With your strength, it is impossible to destroy the assassin sect." "I know; however, I am not going to destroy it now. For now, let''s destroy the assassination circle," Ajax revealed a small smile as he replied to Lechner. "Okay" Lechner nodded his head as he didn''t take Ajax''s words on destroying the assassin sect seriously because the assassin sect is a behemoth that could not be destroyed by anyone. "You will for yourself," Ajax didn''t bother to exin as he asked, "Now, say the power structure of the assassination circle." Finally, Ajax came to the most important thing about his visit. "The power structure of the assassination circle is very simple. One level 5 elite general, five level 1 elite generals. So, in total 6 gold-ranked assassins. Along with 100 general realm assassins also known as lite gold-ranked assassins, thousands of silver ranked assassins and countless bronze ranked assassins," Lechner nodded his head at Ajax before saying about theplete power structure of the assassination circle. "Holy heavens," Ajax was shocked when he heard the number of assassins that were working in the assassination circle as he didn''t expect these many numbers. "I know the numbers are very high but the revenue generated from this assassination circle ispared to the remaining assets of the assassin sect," Lechner exined the reason for the high number of the assassins in the assassination circle as he continued, "However, you don''t need to worry about it because there is good news for you that might help you destroy the assassination circle." All of a sudden, the middle-aged man revealed a slight smile after he finished his words. "What is it?" Ajax asked with a curious gaze because currently, he felt it was impossible to destroy the assassination circle without taking some damage for himself. So, he asked the middle-aged man about it. Chapter 625: Forest Fairy King

Chapter 625: Forest Fairy King

If there was some good news for him, of course, Ajax wanted to know about it. So, he asked the middle-aged man regarding it. "Just before he picked me up, I saw an elder of the assassin sect, who seemed like he was in some kind of hurry, visit the assassination circle. He left within a few minutes after entering the building," Lechner paused for a second before continuing, "However, I noticed 4 out of the five lite gold assassins and a 10 peak silver ranked assassins along with him." "Huh? So, you are saying that there is only a dark gold-ranked assassin along with one lite gold-ranked assassins in the building? Good.... good" Ajax nodded his head as he understood the good news. "Yes...from the looks of it, the assassin sect must be summoning them for some important mission. I think it''s better to hurry up before theye back. Once all the five lite gold-ranked assassins are together, even the dark gold-ranked assassin has to be careful when fighting against them," Lechner suggested Ajax and Darbaudr start their nning as soon as possible. Darbaudr looked at Ajax as he was the man in charge and he would do whatever he decided to do. "Hmm" Ajax nodded his head as silently thought about his n, "Looks like I don''t need to make any changes to my n." He felt happy that his n was perfectly alright for destroying the assassination circle. "Everything is alright. Before, we go there, wear this mask, Darbaudr," After re-checking his n, Ajax nodded his head as he threw a mask at the barbarian while saying everything was alright. ''Huh? This is a¡­.A heaven grade item,'' Darbaudr and Lechner were shocked at the mask in the barbarian''s hands. "Yes. Wear this and you will look like a normal human in the eyes of other cultivators," Ajax exined the use of the mask which would hide his presence. Actually, it was given to Ajax by Levi in the dimensional crevice. However, when he had given it to Ajax, it was only a high-level earth grade and it didn''t have the ability to change the presence of one race cultivator into another race. With the help of a mid-level upgrade stone, he levelled it up to the Heaven grade and gained an additional ability. "Young master, it is better for you to hide your presence," Darbaudr didn''t wear it immediately as he suggested Ajax wearing it for himself. "No. Except for my name no one has ever seen me. As for you, you are the only barbarian with elite general realm cultivation in the entire Zrochester province whose name has reached every top power. So, it''s better no one knows about you and as for me, a normal mask is fine," While exining the reason, Ajax took out a normal looking mask and wore it. Ajax didn''t want to know that he had destroyed the assassination circle. Not yet. So, he wanted to keep his identity a secret. "Yes, young master," Darbaudr understood what Ajax was trying to say and nodded his head before wearing the ''Hollow mask'' without asking any more questions. "Now, what about you?" After both of them wore the masks, Ajax looked at Lechner and asked about him. "If you don''t mind, I will tag along with you. I hope you will allow me," The middle-aged man bowed as he replied to Ajax. The only reason Lechner was living was he wanted to see the destruction of the assassination circle and assassin sect. So, of course, he would not miss the chance of tagging along with them. Even if they kill him for his brazen questions, Lechner wanted to ask them abouting with them. "Okay then. Tag along," Ajax already had a n for Lechner as he wanted to use his name to destroy the assassination circle. Then, no one could rte the ''about to happen'' incident to him. ''Thank you, young master. Thank you,'' Lechner was excited as he hurriedly thanked Ajax. Ajax shook his head at the excited Lechner; however, he didn''t say anything allowed him to be excited. "Darbaudr, I have been waiting for this moment for months for destroying the assets of the assassination sect. Finally, it''s time," Ajax looked at the top of the assassination circle building from his ce and revealed a cruel smile as he started moving towards it along with a barbarian and an ex-assassin, whose dantian was destroyed. ...¡­ In the depths of the middle section of the cursed wilderness, "Father" "Your majesty," Keshe and her uncle hurriedly rushed to a huge tree and shouted as loud as possible. Beside them, the demonic lion king didn''t say anything as he feared Keshe''s father a lot. So, he didn''t dare to call him and silently waited. "Swoosh" As soon as they called, a huge hole appeared at the bottom of the huge tree trunk and a heavily built human walked out of it. He wore a majestic green coloured robe with a golden crown on top of his head. Moreover, there was a normal wooden stick in his hand which didn''t match his personality at all. As for his face, it was very handsome with green coloured hair. Before him, two huge butterfly wings that were pointing upwards. As soon as he came out of the tree trunk, the hole disappeared and the tree trunk reverted back to its original shape. "What happened, my dear daughter?" He was none other than Keshe''s father and the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Seeing that, his daughter and his close friend, whom he had sent to protect his daughter from the shadows, in such an anxious state, he asked with a frown on his face. "Father, the thing is we meet an old man...," Soon, Keshe said everything that had happened from beginning to end and she also said everything about how she met Ajax. Almost everything. ''Phew...this is what happened in the depths of the cursed wilderness,'' Only after she exined everything, Keshe felt relieved as she heaved a sigh of relief. "What?" "Stronger than your uncle?" "Threw a re-cultivation for Brave without any hesitation?" "Staying in the depths of the cursed wilderness for training some children?" Keshe''s father, the great forest fairy king, who was just an inch away from reaching the king realm, was shocked as he recalled each and everything that his daughter had said to him about the ck-robed old man. ''If he is able to pressure Keshe''s uncle without moving from his ce, then he is definitely a king realm cultivator or even higher than that,'' Nevertheless, Geron, the forest fairy king suppressed his shock as he silently evaluated the ck-robed old man. "You said, he gave you some mission, right? Justplete it. It''s a good thing for us to meet him. If my guess is right, he will definitely owe us if youplete his mission," Next, he looked at his daughter and revealed a smile. For some reason, he was very proud of his daughter. "Huh? It is only a simple mission, father. He will not owe us anything. Moreover, he had already given us two valuable things," Keshe shook her head as she disagreed with her father. "My silly daughter, you don''t know anything. For a high-level cultivator like that ck-robed old man, even if you help him in small things, they will repay you for it. As for the items he had already given to you, didn''t you say they were the gifts for saving that young man?" The forest fairy king walked forward as he lightly tapped her head while exining to her. "Oh" Keshe nodded her head with an ''I don''t care'' look on her face because she was not expecting anything from the ck-robed old man. Moreover, she was going to meet Ajax in a couple of days anyway. So, she felt it was not a problem for her to send some message from Elder Boron to Ajax. "Sigh" Looking at the expression on his daughter''s face, the forest fairy king sighed as he shook his face. "By the way, didn''t you say you have received two items from the ck-robed old man? What is the other one?" All of a sudden, Geron remembered the other item given by the Elder Boron and asked his daughter about it. "Oh right. Here it is," When she heard her father''s words, she took out the small shining shield from her storage ring and said, "I asked uncle about it. Even he was unable to appraise it." "Huh? He was unable to appraise it? Interesting...interesting," Geron nodded his head as he felt interested in the small shining shield in Keshe''s hands and asked her to give it to him. Nodding her head, she gave that small shield to her father and waited for him to appraise the item. "What a fine design. It has veryplicated runes and symbols. I have never seen them in my entire life," Geron started describing the symbols and the runes on the small shield. Time continued to tick as Geron carefully observed the runes on it as he pondered their usage. Soon, one hour passed by and Geron didn''t have a clue that an hour had passed as he was mesmerized with the item in his hands. "Father, it''s been an hour? If you don''t know about it just say it," Keshe felt annoyed at her father as she asked him. "Huh?" Geron finally came out of his thoughts about the item as he startedughing all of a sudden, "Finally, I found its usage." Chapter 626: Summoners shield, Ajax begins the massacre

Chapter 626: Summoner''s shield, Ajax begins the massacre

When he was younger, the forest fairy king was very curious about weapons and artifacts. He always studies records stored by their ancestors regarding how to identify the effects of the artifacts and weapons. Finally, that curiosity along with his hard work that led him to be a good appraiser. "Finally, I found out something about this shield," After observing the small shining shield in his hands, the forest fairy kind replied to his daughter. "What did you find, father?" Keshe curiously asked her father. Behind her, Keshe''s uncle and the demonic lion king were also excitedly waiting to know about it. Who doesn''t want to know about an item whose grade was higher than Heaven grade? "It is a quasi-legendary grade," The forest fairy king said with a face full of smiles. Quasi legendary grade is a realm higher than heaven grade and lower than a legendary grade. In the Zrochester province, having high-level heaven grade artifact or weapon is already a good thing. So, with a quasi-legendary grade item in his hands, of course, the forest fairy king would be happy. "What is it called? And what is it used for?" Keshe was curious about the name and its effects/ So that she could use it when she needed it. "With the symbols and runes on it, it is named as a ''Summoner''s shield'' by the creator of this shield," Geron slowly started exining about the shield''s effects, "As for the effect, this small shield can block three attacks from any cultivator below king realm and convert the energy from those attacks into the pure essence of nature for the user to use." ''...'' ''...'' After the forest fairy king finished his words, the surroundings werepletely silent. Keshe and others stared at the small shining shield in Geron''s hands with a shock. They were shocked because they didn''t expect that such a small shining shield would have such an effect. "Currently, it is ownerless. Just drop blood on it and it will recognize you as its owner," The forest fairy king knew they werepletely shocked by the effect of the small shining shield; however, he continued to speak to his daughter which woke her up from her shock. "No father. You should take and fight for the treasures with those spirit beasts from the inner section of the cursed wilderness," Coming out of her shock, Keshe shook her head as she didn''t agree with his father. ording to her, the shield could help them change their lives. So, he asked her father to use it for himself. Generally, in the cursed wilderness, as long any spirit beast had sufficient power, they could go and challenge one of the rulers of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. If they win, they would get the territory of that ruler and if he lost, then he would be a meal for that ruler. "Let''s not talk about it now. Your brother said that there are some miraculous pills in that world. Once he gets his hands on them, we will be the sole rulers of the cursed wilderness," Nevertheless, the forest fairy kind shook his head as he recalled the words of his son. "But they were lessening our share of valuable items and using them for themselves," Keshe still didn''t look convinced with her father''s words. As we know already, the cursed wilderness is divided into three sections: inner, middle and outer. There is no ruler for the inner section. Middle-section is ruled by the forest fairy king, Geron. As for the inner section, which is the biggest andprised 70 percent of the cursed wilderness, it was ruled by who knows how many spirit beast kings. However, there is one single spirit beast king that every other spirit beast kings feared and listened to. So, the thing is, as the rulers of the cursed wilderness, everyone gets some portion of resources that were avable in the cursed wilderness from time to time depending on the strength of the ruler. Here, What Keshe was trying to say was the other rulers were enjoying 50 percent of their share because her father was the weakest one among all the rulers in the entire cursed wilderness. "How many times did I tell you not to think about these matters. I just want you to diligently cultivate and enter that world which your brother went to. As for all other things, just forget about them" The forest fairy king became a little agitated with Keshe''s words; however, after finishing his words, he just sighed as he threw the small shining shield at his daughter. "Ceru, send her back to her cultivation chambers," Without giving any time for his daughter, Geron asked Keshe''s uncle to send her back. Keshe''s uncle was the most trusted aide and a childhood friend of the forest fairy king. So, he understood that Geron wanted to be alone. So, he looked at Keshe and said, "Keshe, let''s go." Keshe looked at her uncle for a moment and next she looked at her father before walking towards him, "Even if the shield is with me, I will never use it for myself." After finishing her words, Keshe turned and left along with her uncle and the demonic lion king. ''Sigh...whether I should feel happy that she cares about me or I should feel sad about her stubbornness?'' Looking at the departing silhouette, the forest fairy king sighed as he shook his head. ''She is just like her mother,'' However, in the end, a slight smile appeared on his handsome face before he returned to his cultivation chambers inside the huge tree. ..... "Uncle Ceru, can you please convince my father to take this shining shield?" While returning to her cultivation chamber, Keshe asked her uncle with a worried look. "You already know about your father," Keshe''s uncle shook his head as he continued, "Once he said something, he will never change his words." "Sigh" Hearing that Keshe sighed as went into a huge tree which was not as huge as the one that her father had entered. Simrly, the demonic lion king also entered into another tree to take some rest. As for Ceru, many thoughts were flowing at an incredible speed; however, in the end, he just sighed and left from there. ...¡­ In front of the assassination circle, "Darbaudr, this assassination circle''s main building looks even more beautiful from here," Ajax, who covered his face with a normal asked said to the barbarian beside him. Generally, many cultivators andmon peoplee and go to the assassination circle. So, the sudden appearance of the two cultivators and onemon human didn''t raise much attention from the other assassins, cultivators andmon man. ''But the sad thing is, it will be destroyed in some time. What a pity,'' The barbarian, who was currently disguised as a human replied to Ajax through the voice transmission. "Haha¡­.let''s go inside and see how it is from inside," Ajaxughed out loud without any fear because Darbaudr cultivation which is level 1 of the elite general realm made others wary about them. So, on one had a problem with Ajax beingughing out loud. Soon, Ajax, Darabaudr and the middle-aged man named Lechner entered the main building of the assassination circle. Currently, Lechner was also wearing a mask. Moreover, his spirit consciousness was destroyed making him look like amon man guiding some cultivators into the assassination circle. "Hello, the respected customer. What type of assassination mission you want to ce?" Just as they entered the main building, a young woman asked them with a tone full of respect. That''s right! As long as the cultivator had enough money, they could kill anymore except for the people from the top powers. At least that''s what they say in the open. However, if the price was right enough, they would kill even a member of the top power. For that, they need a very huge amount. "I want to kill some people," Ajax nodded his head and carefully observed the young woman in front of him. ''Young master, He is an old cultivator using some disguise as a young woman,'' While Ajax was observing the young woman in front of him, Lechner hurriedly sent a voice transmission thinking about something. Ajax turned his head and nodded his head at the ex-assassin while cursing in his mind, ''Damn you. I am not thinking of something else.'' "Young master, can you say what are the cultivation realms of the targets?" When the young woman heard Ajax''s words, she was excited because more targets mean more money. More money means the moremission the disguised old man would get. So, she excitedly asked and the level of respect towards Ajax also increased. "Most of them have general realm cultivation and very few of them have elite general cultivations; however, the highest cultivation didn''t exceed level 5 of the elite general realm. Isn''t that right?" Ajax turned his face towards Lechner and asked him. "Sure sure" All of a sudden, the disguised old cultivator was excited because killing an elite general realm costs very much; however, the young master in front of him wants to kill multiple of them. Moreover, he also wants to kill many general realm cultivators. So, all he could smell was a lot of spirit stones or treasures. "Young Master, you know the prices, right?" However, his instinct said that there was something wrong. So, he asked whether Ajax knew prices or not. "Who cares about prices when I was the one killing all those bitches," ''sh'' After finishing his words, Ajax used his demon hand and shed the young woman''s throat while revealing a cruel smile on his face. Chapter 627: Assassin gods statue

Chapter 627: Assassin god''s statue

''Aargh'' The young woman shouted in pain; however, the cut on her neck was very deep that she fell down on the floor with lifeless eyes. Even if the cut was not too deep, she would be dead sooner orter with the poison effect from the demon''s hand. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the young woman''s body fell to the ground, her appearance started to change as and soon it transformed into a skinny old man with a disgusting face that made Ajax almost puke. "Really? Although I thought his original appearance was not good, I didn''t expect it to be this disgusting," Ajax squinted his eyes as he said to Lechner. "Young master, be careful," However, Lechner was anxious because currently they were surrounded by hundreds of assassins. The thing is he wanted to be alive until he saw the destruction of the assassination circle with his own eyes. So, at the moment, he felt he would die because as an ex-assassin, he knew how dirty these assassins would y. In many cases, an assassin would kill the weak prey first andter entirely focus on the strong prey. With that assumption in his mind, Lechner knew he would be killed first. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Just as he expected, a couple of assassins appeared behind him and took him hostage. "Who are you, people? Why did you kill one of us?" An elite general realm assassin came forward and asked Ajax and Darbaudr with an angry tone. However, Ajax didn''t answer and at the same time, he didn''t order Darbaudr, he just counted the assassins that surrounded them. Currently, there was one level 1 elite general realm assassin who just asked their motives for killing an assassin, 60 or so general realm assassins whose cultivations were ranging from level 1 to level 10. And the huge hall was entirely filled with themander and elitemander realm assassins. When the elite general realm assassin didn''t get any reply from Ajax, he became angry and looked at the elitemander realm assassin who was holding Lechner and said, "Kill him." ''Even if I die first, I hope today is the day that the assassination circle will also fall along with me,'' Lechner didn''t care about his life anymore as he felt that Ajax and Darbaudr could destroy the assassination circle. For some reason, he believed that they were capable of destroying it because how could someone enter the lion''s den without having confidence in killing the lion? ''I hope I will repay you in my next life,'' Lechner silently said to himself as he waited for the dagger to slice his throat with his eyes closed. ''Huh?'' However, he waited for some time but he was still alive and the dagger didn''t slice his throat. ''Thud'' Just as he opened his eyes to see what was happening, the assassin cing his hands around his next released him and fell to the ground without making any painful sounds. ''What?'' Not only Lecher, but every assassin in the huge hall was also shocked by the scene in front of them as they didn''t have a single clue what happened to their fallen assassin. "What did you do to him?" All of a sudden, the level 1 elite general realm assassin looked at Ajax and Darbaudr, who was mysteriously covering their faces with masks and at the same time, he unconsciously took a couple of steps. ''Number 99, go and informed the chief as soon as possible,'' Nevertheless, he hurriedly transmitted his voice to one of the assassins in the hall and asked him to go and inform the leader of the assassination circle, who had the cultivation of the level 5 elite general realm. ''Yes, vice-chief,'' Soon, he got a reply from one of the assassins. That''s right! He was the vice-chief of the assassination circle, the one who manages everything in the assassination circle. As for the chief, he would only go for the assassination missions that have something to do with the top powers. Most of the time, the chief of the assassination circle stays in an underground spirit stone mine which consists of only dark element spirit stones. ''Damn it. The second brother and others went to the assassination circle, I have to inform them even if I use that thing. We still didn''t know how powerful these two individuals are and what their motives are,'' After secretly sending an assassin out of the huge hall, the vice chief clenched his fists and took a green jade out of thin air and destroyed it. Just a moment ago, the assassin sect sent an elder and summoned all the powerful assassins except for the chief and vice-chief for some mission. So, the vice chief wanted to let them know that the assassination circle was in trouble. Moreover, along with his four brothers, experts from the assassin sect would also join them because the assassination circle was an important asset to them. So, of course, they would help them. As for Ajax, he was silent for the entire time and allowed the vice-chief to do whatever he wanted to do. "I heard that assassination circle is good at killing people. I just wanted to see how good they are whenpared to me," After staying silent for some time, Ajax finally started talking in a condensed voice so that no one would even think that he was a young man of only 15 years old. "What?" The Vice chief became angry at Ajax as he knew that Ajax was indirectly saying that he wanted to kill them all. "Idiots. Bunch of fools," Soon, he scolded his assassins as he shouted at them, "What are you waiting for? Just go and kill him." "Yes, vice-chief," Receiving the scoldings from their vice-chief, all the assassins became agitated and red at Ajax and the other two before jumping onto them. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" "Die," "You dare to challenge our assassination circle," "What a fool''s dream?" "Did you even know how many assassins we have here?" While jumping at them, all the assassins expressed their inner thoughts about Ajax and others. "So what? You may be in hundreds or even thousands. But you will all die today," Ajax didn''t even move from his ce as he ordered Darbaudr, "Finish them all." "By the way, take this sword. I want to see your sword attacks," Just as Darbaudr was about to move, Ajax threw his inheritance sword at the barbarian and asked him to use it. "Haha...finally, it''s time to disy my sword skills," All of a sudden, Darbaudr startedughing with an excited look on his face. When he was forcefully thrown into the Zrochester province, everything including his weapons and storage ring was taken away by the twelfth demon apostle. So, when he finally got a good sword, Darbaudr was of course very excited to disy his sword skills. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''sh'' As soon as he received the sword, Darbaudr didn''t even move from his position as he waved the inheritance sword in his hands at the assassins that were rushing at them. Just within a few seconds, Darbaudr released hundreds of sword waves. ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''Aargh'' In the next few seconds, the entire hall was filled with shing sounds and painful groans from the assassins. "Holy heavens" Ajax was shocked at the disy of Darbaudr''s sword skills because he never expected that the barbarian was this good at swords. Generally, barbarians use brute strength to kill his enemies; however, one time in his journey together with tDarbaudr, Ajax noticed that hemented at not having a good sword. So, he wanted to see how good he would be. Only with that intention, he had given his inheritance sword to Drabaudr; however, after seeing how Darabaudr released hundreds of shes within a few seconds, he felt he was nowhere near him in sword dao. As for the kills, within a few seconds, hundreds of assassins were killed. Most of them were below the general realm and as for the general realm assassins, they were injured from severely to moderate. "Level 3 sword dao?" The vice chief was easily able to dodge all the shes released by Darbaudr and looked at Darabudr with a shocked expression on his face. In the entire Zrochester province, only leaders and some other cultivators from the top powers were able to reach level 3 in weapons dao. So, when he saw the sword dao from Darbaudr,?the vice-chief was shocked as he felt a bad premonition from the sword welder. ''Damn it,'' Looking at the dead bodies of his assassins, the vice chief clenched his fists and cursed Darbaudr as he silently thought, ''Sorry, guys.'' As soon as he thought about something, the vice chief took out a small statue of some demon from his storage ring and ced it on the ground. The statue was pitch in pitch ck colour with a long tongue out of its mouth. A small dagger in its hands. The movement the vice chief took out of the statue, the entire hall was covered with dark energy. Moreover, the environment in the huge hall looked eerie and demonic. "All of you, rise" In the next second, the vice-chief muttered a single sentence before hurriedly moving away from the ck statue. "Oh no. He is using the demonic assassin''s god''s statue. Be careful, young master, it will make all the assassins powerful. Very powerful," Looking at the vice chief''s actions, Lechner hurriedly warned Ajax about the statue ced on the ground with an anxious look on his face. ''Damn it...how could I forget about this,'' At the same time, he cursed himself for forgetting about the statue. Chapter 628: 12 magical statues

Chapter 628: 12 magical statues

Assassin god''s statue, as its name suggests, it''s an assassin''s statue, who ascended to a greater world and while leaving, he created some small statues for his descendants and stored some kind of magical power. As for the magical power, it varies from statue to statue. "So, how many of these statues are created and what kind of magical power is stored in this statue?" After learning about the statues, Ajax asked with a frown on his face. He didn''t expect something like that in front of them which could not only increase the power of the normal assassins and injured assassins, it also awakened the dead assassins. So, of course, Ajax had to be careful regarding that thing and wanted to know more about it. "I am not sure about how many were created. But, it was said that there were a total of 12 and each with its own magical power," Lechner thought back to the discussions from when he was still an assassin and replied to Ajax about it. "Twelve statues?" Ajax felt it was not a good thing to have that many magical statues with the assassins. "As for the magical power, except for the owner of the statue, no one knows. Moreover, this is my first time seeing one of the magical statues," Lechner shook his head as he didn''t even know the magical power of the statue in front of them. "Yo...you. How do you know about it?" The vice-chief who was listening to their conversation was shocked at how informative the perpetrators were and asked him with a shocked face. From the moment the vice-chief took out the assassin god''s statue, Lecher didn''t speak in voice transmission as he was too shocked to do that. Moreover, Ajax also spoke out loud without any fear because he wanted Lechner to speak. So that everything would go ording to his n. Without any problem, the vice chief was able to hear them loud and clear. "Wait?a second...this voice" However, before Ajax or Lechner could reply to the vice chief, he felt the voice was a little familiar to him. Lechner was a dark gold-ranked assassin and of course, he was famous as there were only 7 dark gold-ranked assassins in the entire assassination circle. So, of course, the vice-chief was able to recognize Lechner just with the voice alone and adding to the fact that Lechner was so knowledgeable about their assassin god''s statues, it didn''t take much time for him to find out. ''Oh no'' Lechner shook his head as he looked at Ajax for a moment before taking out his mask, "Since you already recognized me, I think I don''t have any use with this mask." Finally, Lechner understood that Ajax using him and acting like Ajax was taking revenge for him. ''So what, as long as this assassination circle gets destroyed, I don''t mind him killing me,'' Lechner didn''t feel anything as he looked at the vice chief and said, "Nice to meet you, Vice chief." Lechner totally forgot about the statue and simply waved at the vice chief with a smile on his face. "Damn you, Lechner. Aren''t you dead already?"The vice chief was shocked to find Lechner still alive. ording to his chief, Lechner went against the orders of the assassin sect''s mission which led it to a failure. So, he was handed over to the assassin sect. Later, the assassin sect informed the assassination circle, he was punished ording to the mistakes he had made and after that, no one knows what happened to him. "Haha...are you surprised to see me here?" Lechner started the sentence with augh; however, thatugh disappeared at the end as his eyes became bloodshot with anger. "We thought you were dead as we knew who the assassin sect deals with those who fail the missions," There was no emotion in the vice chief''s eyes as he calmly replied to Lechner. "I know but you know that I will not ept missions that include killing children?" Lecher shouted at the vice chief as he vented his anger in that shout. "If you came to destroy that assassination circle then why are spouting non-sense? Come and destroy...Haha," "All of you, go and kill," Soon, the vice chief startedughing as he ordered every assassin in the huge hall to kill Lechner and his two associates. While they were having the conversation, all the assassins except for the vice chief turned into ck coloured beings. Currently, they look like shadows. All the shadows look exactly the same appearance and no one was able to find any differences between them. ''I hope this can stop them until the Chiefes here,'' After giving his order, the vice chief silently thought in his head and rushed towards Ajax in order to kill him. The main thing about the Vice chief was that as long as he felt a bad premonition in his heart, he would go all out and would not give any chance for his enemies to react. So, along with the shadow-like beings, he also rushed towards them as he didn''t want to underestimate them. "Haha...let''s find more about these magical statues after we destroy this assassination circle," Ajax only frowned for a moment when he saw the appearance of the shadows; however, he was not worried much about them and said to Darabaudr. "Sure" Darbaudr nodded his head as he shed his sword at the iing shadow beings. "I will take care of these shadow beings. You go and take care of that vice chief," Ajax looked at shadow beings who were easily killed by Darabudr and asked him to leave them to him. Because he couldn''t fight the vice chief without using all his trump cards. So, he asked the barbarian to take care of it. "Yes, young master," Darbaudr nodded his head as he moved towards the vice-chief, who was about to kill Lechner. "Die, you damned traitor," The vice chief''s first target was Lechner because he was the weakest one and he had sessfully increased the vice chief''s anger. "Your opponent is me. Not him," Before he could sh Lechner, the vice chief was stopped by Darbaudr. At the other end, Ajax looked at the swarming shadows around him, Ajax revealed a smile as?he called, "Twilight, it''s time for you to y." .... A few moments before Ajax killed the old man disguised as a young woman, In the assassin sect, In the main hall, the sect leader and all the elders of the assassin sect gathered for another meeting. Moreover, along with them, there were 14 more assassins, with slightly different uniformspared to the assassin sect. "Sect leader Gerg, what mission do you have for us?" One of those 14 assassins looked at the sect leader Gerg before asking the sect leader of the assassin sect for summoning them. "My assassin sect needs the help of the assassination circle in killing someone and no one should know that the mission came from the sect," The sect leader Gerg looked at each and every one of his sect''s elders before replying to one of the 14 masked assassins. Compared to the sect leader Gerg and elders, all those 14 assassins were covering their faces with ck masks. They were none other than the assassins of the assassination circle. 4 dark gold-ranked assassins along with 10 peak lite gold-ranked assassins were summoned to the assassin sect by the sect leader Gerg. Just a little while ago, the sect leader Gerg got to know that the undead assassins failed in killing Ajax and from his experience he could conclude that Edmond would surely doubt them because currently, only the assassin sect hold the technique to create the undead assassins. So, he wanted to take help of the assassination circle. ''With the assassination circle''s chief, he could easily kill Ajax before Edmond could even release that Ajax was killed,'' The sect leader didn''t want to owe a favour to the assassination circle''s chief. So, he waited until now because he didn''t have another choice in this case. Some might wonder that when the assassination circle was the servant organization to the assassin sect, then why would the sect leader Gerg owe a favour forpleting a mission from the sect. As for the reason, once an assassin bes a chief, they would be free from the seal ced in their spirit consciousness and had the same status as that of the first elder of the assassin sect. If someone wants to request him toplete a mission, even if he was the sect leader of the Assassin sect, they need to pay the thing he requests them. So, the sect leader Gerg was hesitant till now; however, it disappeared the moment, Edmond killed the undead assassins. That''s right! The sect leader Gerg thinks that Edmond was the one who helped Ajax. So, he was using thest to second method in killing Ajax. As for thest one, except for him, no one knows. "Huh? You could have directly sent the details of the mission to the circle, sect leader Gerg," One of the four dark gold-ranked assassins replied to the sect leader. "It is not a small mission. It requires that your chief to act himself to kill the person," The sect leader Gerg replied as he threw a scroll at him and said, "The details of the target are in there." "What?" All the 14 assassins were shocked to hear those words. ''Kacha'' Just when they were about to ask for more details, a crisp sound came from all the pendants worn by the four dark gold-ranked assassins. ''Danger'' Chapter 629: True power of the statue

Chapter 629: True power of the statue

There were simr-looking green coloured jake pendants around the necks of the four dark gold-ranked assassins. And all of them broke at the same time making them anxious because it meant only one thing. It was the assassination circle that was in danger. "Sect leader Gerg, can we talk about this mission some other time?" "Yes, sect leader Gerg, we have to go now," "The assassination circle is under attack," "We need to hurry up" Soon, the four gold-ranked assassins hurriedly replied to the sect leader Gerg and didn''t wait for permission from the sect leader Gerg as they turned back to leave the assassin sect. "Wait. Before you go, give these two things to your chief. One is the mission details and the other one is the reward for the mission. Your chief will definitely ept the mission," The sect leader Gerg stopped them and threw two items at them. "Thank you, sect leader," All the 14 assassins thanked the sect leader Gerg before leaving the assassin sect. "Second brother, why didn''t the sect leader Gerg offer his help to us when he heard the assassination circle is in danger?" After they left the assassin sect, one of the assassins asked the current leader of the group. Because the assassination circle belongs to the assassin sect. So, the assassin sect should help them; however, when the sect leader Gerg didn''t say anything about helping them, the 10 lite gold-ranked assassins were angry. "Who said he didn''t offer us help?" However, the dark gold-ranked assassin revealed a small smile as he continued, "Just wait and see, you will know." Seeing how confident he was, the rest of the assassins didn''t ask him any more questions and hurriedly followed behind him. ..... "Twilight, it''s time for you to y," In the main hall of the assassination circle, Ajax didn''t even bother to kill the iing shadow-like beings and summoned the twilight destructive dragon to take care of the shadow beings. ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' ''Rumble'' Out of thin, the huge dragon bigger than the main hall of the assassination circle appeared in the main huge with a roar and in the next second, the main building of the assassination circle started rumbling. Ajax hurriedly jumped onto the dragon to escape the rumbling while the shadow-like beings were struck under the crumbling walls. ''Twilight, Dragon breath'' Ajax jumping onto the back of the dragon, Ajax non-chntly ordered the dragon to use the dragon breath. ''Szzzz'' As soon as he heard Ajax''s order, Twilight released a purple colour smoke from its mouth and all the shadow-like beings disintegrated into nothing. ''Looks like that magical statue is nothing great,'' All of a sudden, Ajax lost all his interest in the assassin god''s statue in front of him. ''Also, the assassination circle is much weaker than I thought,'' At the same time, Ajax felt he had great overestimated the assassination circle. Because he didn''t even use any of his trump cards and all the assassins turned into nothing and the vice-chief of the assassination circle was having a very hard time while fighting with Darbaudr. Even though the vice chief of the assassination circle and the barbarian in disguise were having the same cultivation realm of level 1 of the elite general realm, Darbaudr was much stronger because he was not a regr cultivator. Adding to the fact that he was proficient in spatial technique, with an inheritance sword in his hand, even a normal level 5 elite general realm cultivator would be having a very difficult time against him. ''Darbaudr, finish him,'' Ajax didn''t want to drag the fight any longer because he had already seen that the vice chief had destroyed some kind of jade and he still didn''t know why he did that. So, Ajax wanted to kill everyone present in the assassination circle and leave as soon as possible. "Aargh..." "Damn you¡­.you destroy the main building of our assassination circle," Just as Ajax ordered the barbarian to kill the vice-chief, an angry voice came from the rumble and soon an old man who was entirely covered in dust came out of the stones on the ground. "Chief" As soon as he heard the angry voice, the vice-chief became excited as he addressed the old man as chief. "What are doing when a bunch of fool destroying our assassination circle?" The Chief rebuked the vice chief. "They are very strong, chief," the vice chief jumped back and hurriedly moved towards the chief. If he didn''t move, then Darbaudr would have killed him with a sh. "I can sense it. They are stronger but still, they didn''t have the power to fight against me," The chief looked at Darbaudr and the dragon for a moment and revealed a slight smile as he continued, "A dragon in the Zorchestor province? Looks like I finally found all the ingredients for my five minor realms break though...Haha." As for Ajax and Lechner, they were totally forgotten because they were useless to the chief. It''s been many years since a dragon appeared in the Zrochester province and moreover, the chief was searching for a dragon for his own purposes. So, when he saw a dragon, all his previous anger disappeared and was reced withughter. "Roar" Twilight didn''t like the look on the chief''s face because it looked like he was the most delicious thing in the world. So, he roared at the Chief. "You look so lively. Wait a second. After I kill these ants, I will y with you," After saying that to the dragon, the chief turned his head towards the vice chief who was hiding behind him and scolded, "You are embarrassing the assassination circle. As a chief, you have to be brave, idiot." "Chief, th...that th..they a..are¡­.," "Shut up. Since you bring out the assassin god''s statue and sacrificed our entire assassins, use its power and kill that beat and that traitor. I will y with him for a while," The chief ordered the vice-chief to use the power of the assassin god''s statue to kill Ajax and Lechner as for the chief he decided to kill Darbaudr on his own. ''Roar'' When the dragon heard his words, he roared at him because, in his words, he was totally ignored as though it was not a threat to them. "Haha...don''t worry. I will y with you soon," the chiefughed as he replied to the angry dragon and he rushed towards Darbaudr. "Twilight, calm down. Go and destroy some more buildings outside ande," Ajax hurriedly calmed down the dragon because the more the dragon destroys the stronger it biomes. So, Ajax ordered the dragon to destroy the buildings surrounded the assassination circle''s main building. ''Roar'' Twilight understood the underlying meaning behind Ajax''s words. So, it roared at the chief before flying out to destroy more buildings. The assassination circle had many buildings for the assassins to reside in and for many other activities. Soon, the dragon started destroying the buildings and whenever it saw any assassins, it would kill without letting them escape. After sending the dragon out, Ajax carefully observed the vice-chief''s actions. Currently, the vice chief was holding the assassin god''s statue and muttering in a barely audible voice, "Oh assassin god''s statue, I have sacrificed all my subordinates to you. Now give me the power to kill my enemies." As soon as he finished his words, some ck energy came out of the assassin god''s statue and entered into the body of the vice-chief. ''Aargh'' Within the next second, he started groaning in pain. ''Level 2 elite general'' ''Level 3 elite general'' . . ''Peak level 5 elite general'' Soon, the vice-chief''s cultivation rose from the level 1 elite general to the peak level 5 elite general which was stronger than the chief of the assassination circle''s chief. "Looks like increasing strength alsoes with pain," Ajax joked to himself as looked at the vice chief, who was groaning in pain; however, it was worth it because now he had the strength of a level 5 elite general realm. "Now, you have nowhere to escape, little brat," Soon, the vice chief''s pain from the sudden boost in the strength disappeared and he scoffed at Ajax and rushed at him with lightning speed. "Haha...who wants to escape? We will leave only after killing you," Ajax didn''t have the slightest fear that he would be killed here because he had a n B if things went south. ''Darbaudr, looks like we have to use n B. Be ready for my signal, understand?'' Ajax silently transmitted his voice to the barbarian to be ready for n B. ''Die, brat,'' Just as he finished the voice transmission, the vice-chief had already appeared in front of Ajax and shed the dagger at him. ''Hehe...Necros,'' Ajax didn''t move from his position and revealed a slight smile on his face as he called his strongest elemental spirit. ''Swoosh'' ''Undead warriors,e out ''Be one'' ''Thud'' Just when the dagger was able to sh through Ajax''s neck, a huge undead warriornded on the vice chief and crushed him to the ground. That''s right! As soon as Necros appeared, he used two of his skills. First, he used undead summoning and summoned five undead warriors and while they were still in the air, he used the next skill ''Combine'' to merge into one huge undead warrior. ''What?'' The chief of the assassination circle, who was fighting Darbaudr was shocked to the core as he didn''t except the traitor got the help of a summoner to take revenge on his behalf. Chapter 630: Greatest achievement in life?

Chapter 630: Greatest achievement in life?

Summoning, it was a profession that had almost lost its true power in the Zroceshter province. Even though there were a few summoners in the province, they didn''t know many things about the summoners and they were trying their best to bring out the true summoner potential from them. However, they didn''t have the summoning techniques and what they were currently using now was just some crude techniques to increase their spirit consciousness capacity. Nevertheless, it was very hard to find an elemental spirit that was still alive to reach the general realm. So, the chief of the assassination circle was shocked to see an elemental spirit that could summon a huge undead warrior. "Aargh" "Get off of me," The vice-chief who was crushed under by the merged undead warrior shouted as he threw the huge undead warrior from him. There was no surprise when a peak level 5 elite general cultivator could throw an elemental spirit summon of level 1 general realm cultivation. "Finish them and take out the elemental spirit core from its body. It could fetch us a high price," Seeing that the Vice-chief was still able to maintain his ground against the summoner, he ordered to kill the elemental spirit and take out the spirit core from its body. "Yes, chief," The vice-chief nodded his head. Currently, the vice-chief''s appearance is totally different from the beginning. His eyes were pitch ck as though he was controlled by some dark force. His body was much stronger than before. "Disperse" While they were having a little conversation, Necros dispersed the huge undead warrior into five undead warriors. As soon as he did that, mysterious energy came from the five undead warriors and entered Necro''s body. "Necros, I want him dead," Ajax pointed his finger at the vice-chief and ordered with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, master," Just like how the vice-chief nodded his head at his chief, Necros nodded his head at Ajax. ''System, set a timer of 10 minutes,'' In the very next second, Ajax asked the system to set a timer of 10 minutes. "Haha¡­." "Haha..." Both Chief and Vice chief startedughing at Ajax and Necros'' conversation because it felt very funny for them. Because Necros have the cultivation of level 1 general realm whereas the vice-chief''s cultivation was boosted by the assassin god''s statue to the peak level 5 elite general realm. So, of course, it was funny for them because it was impossible for Necros to kill the Vice chief. ''Swoosh'' "Puchi" "Why are youughing at them when I am here?" While the Chief of the assassination circle wasughing at Necros and Ajax, a heavy sword pierced through his chest and Darbaudr''s words resounded in the copsed huge hall. "What?" There was a shocked expression on the face of Chief as he never expected that he would be sneak attacked by someone. ''Puchi'' Nevertheless, he hurriedly jumped back as he forcefully separated himself from the inheritance sword. ''Damn it. I have let down my guard and I am severely injured,'' After jumping back, the chief hurriedly pressed onto his wound to stop the bleeding and at the same time tossed a handful of healing pills. "Chief" When the vice-chief saw that his Chief was sneak attacked by the other cultivator, he tried to rush in that direction to help him. "Hehe...I am your opponent," However, before he could even take a couple of steps, Necros appeared in front of him and stopped him from going any further. "Damn you..." The vice chief became angry and threw a punch at Necros. "Punch" ''Hehe...is that all you got?'' Necros didn''t try to dodge the punch as he allowed it to hit him; however, even when the punchnded on him nothing happened which shocked the Vice-chief. "I am fine...you take care of that elemental spirit and others. I will take care of this fool," When the Vice-chief was in shock, the chief ordered him to focus on Ajax and others whereas he would take care of Darbaudr. "Phew" Hearing his chief''s words, the vice chief heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Necros before saying, "Not bad, not bad." "You have got some good skills; however, don''t be happy so soon. In the earlier punch, I didn''t even use 10 percent of my power," His earlier shock disappeared as he covered that everything was in his control. "Go ahead and use your full power then. I am tired of assassins who act so high and mighty but they are nothing but a bunch of weaklings," Necros intentionally provoked the vice chief and said many more things that sessfully angered the vice chief to the point where he could not think about anything else other than killing Necros. ''Necros is always Necros. He will not change no matter how powerful he became Ajax, who was observing Necors and the vice chief shook his head. Necros could provoke anyone without much effect. Just like now, he didn''t even take a minute topletely provoke the vice chief. "Necros, you have only 9 minutes left," Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything about it as he reminded Necors about the time and continued to watch the fight in front of him. "I will kill you," The vice chief didn''t even hear Ajax''s words because of his anger and rushed at Necros and used his full power to throw punches and kicks at him; however, no matter what the vice chief had done, it was useless on Necros. "Haha...why don''t you try your ck dagger," After using his full brute strength on Necros for some time, the vice chief was exhausted and when he heard Necros'' idea, he stopped for a second and said, "Why should I listen to you? I am stronger than you and I can kill you without any weapon." When a person waspletely filled with rage, no matter how intelligent or careful a person was, he would definitely take the suggestion of his enemy as it would make them feel that their enemy was giving a free hand to them. As for Necros, it was exactly what he wanted from the vice-chief. ''As long as he doesn''t use any weapons or spirit attacks, I can kill him without any problem,'' Necros silently thought in his head and he was very calm because everything was going as he nned. That''s right! Even if a peak elite general realm cultivatores here and uses his full power to punch Necros, nothing will happen to him. It is an additional effect of one of his skills "Undead fusion". It has two effects and they are 1) Can merge all the five undead warriors summoned from the ''Undead summoning'' 2) Whenever the undead warriors are dispersed, the summoner will get physical immunity for the next 10 minutes. Note:- Effect 2 will not affect the king realm cultivators. When Ajax first saw the effect back in the dimensional crevice, he decided to make good use of it and finally, he used it now. Moreover, it was going as he nned. ''If it was not upgraded, I would not be this reckless,'' Ajax silently smiled as he thought in his head. When Necros first awakened this skill, his physical immunity was only 5 minutes; however, after he broke through to the general realm, it was doubled, making him very happy. ''Uff...uff...uff'' After continuously punching the elemental spirit in front of him, the vice chief was dead tired and started breathing heavily. "Okay...time to end this now," Necros knew he should not waste any more time and took a heavy sword from one of his undead warriors and tried to pierce through him. ''Cling'' ''Kacha'' However, the heavy sword broke into two that made Necros shake his head. ''As I expected, a level 5 elite general''s body could not be pierced by normal weapons. I need to look for a strong weapon for myself,'' Necrosmented as he still didn''t have a weapon to use for himself and looked at Ajax and signalled something to him. ''Haha...'' Looking at how Necros was in such a helpless situation, the vice chief startedughing very loud. "So what now? Even if I just sit here, you can''t scratch on me...Haha," the vice-chief continued tough at Necros and mocked him. "Yeah...yeah. You are so strong that I can''t even make a scratch on you," Necors didn''t take his words seriously as he nodded his head in agreement with the vice chief''s words. "Dying in my hands is your life''s greatest achievement. So, be good and let me kill you," the vice chief''s anger exploded all of a sudden when he heard Necros'' calm words; however, he suppressed it and scoffed at him. "Actually, I am thinking of giving you the greatest achievement in your life for you. What do you say?" Necros'' slowly walked towards the vice-chief as he replied back to his words. "My life''s greatest achievement?" the vice-chief looked at Necros, who wasing at him and thought in his head. His anger decreased a little and he was able to think normally and allowed Necros toe near him because he was confident that Necros couldn''t kill him. ''He can''t kill me, then what is he going to give me?'' At the same time, he silently thought in his head about Necros'' words; however, he was not able to find anything about it. "Are you ready?" After reaching the vice-chief, Necros asked him and in reply, the vice-chief nodded his head as he wanted to see what Necros was going to do. ''Gulp'' In a single gulp, Necros swallowed the vice chief and closed his eyes. Chapter 631: Come on out, Summons

Chapter 631: Come on out, Summons

''...'' The Chief and Darbaudr stopped fighting and speechlessly looked at Necros. ''...'' Lechner became speechless as his facial expression changed to that of a person who was about to vomit. ''...'' Even Ajax was also speechless, as he didn''t expect that Necro would swallow a person in whole. Moreover, the person was not a normal one, but a cultivator of the peak level 5 elite general realm. "What the hell? Is that an elemental spirit or a ravenous demon?" Soon, the chief of the assassination circle came out of shock as he loudly muttered looking at Necros who sat on the ground with his eyes closed. "To know that answer, you have to defeat me," ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Just as the chief was expressing his shock, he was attacked by Darbaudr with the inheritance sword. "Damn it," The chief cursed as he once again started his fight with Darbaudr. ''Since, the assassin god''s statue released the death energy which is absorbed from the bodies of all the assassins. So, he must have used ''Devour'' to take care of that vice chief,'' Devour was one of?Necros'' skills that allowed him to consume anything that was rted to death and dark type of energy. So, seeing that Necros swallowed the vice chief in one piece, he directly assumed that he must be using that skill. ''ording to my n, it should use the ''Heaven''s destroyer''. Looks like I will use it another time,'' Heaven''s destroyer has a legendary spear soul inside it. Moreover, it has very high destructive power that could ignore any type of defence. ording to his n, after the vice-chief got tired by Necros'' 10 minutes immunity, he would use the ''Heaven''s destroyer'' to kill him. However, Necros modified a little which was also a good move. ''It will definitely increase his cultivation,'' The main effect of the devouring was to increase the cultivation of the user. So, eating a peak level 5 elite general realm cultivator would definitely help the elemental spirit a lot. ''Master, I need a little help here,'' Just when Ajax was thinking everything was in control, he heard Necros'' voice which sounded like he was in a great amount of pain. ''What?'' ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate,'' Ajax knew what was happening inside Necros'' stomach. So, he hurriedly used his bloodline to help Necros as his bloodline could increase the battle prowess of his summons by the factor of 2. For a level 1general realm elemental spirit, it was very hard to devour a peak level 5 elite general realm cultivator without any retortion from him. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax activated his bloodline, Necros rate of devouring the vice chief increased very much. ''Aargh'' ''Aarghh'' Soon, the painful shouts of the vice chief could be heard; however, no one could see him as he was inside Necros'' stomach. ''Phew...finally it is in control,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief because the things that were happening right now were out of his expectations and if Necros fails in killing the vice chief he would be in big trouble. ording to his knowledge, only one level 5 elite general realm assassin would be in the assassination; however, using the assassin god''s statue, the vice chief boosted his cultivation and he had to opt to n B. ''I hope nothing unexpected happens again,'' Ajax hoped everything would go ording to his n and continuously focused on Necros. Even though Necros said he was in control, he wanted to make sure nothing unexpected happened. ''Roar'' Outside the copsed main building, the destructive twilight dragon received a sudden boost in its strength from Ajax''s bloodline which was three times its original strength. Moreover, with the destruction, he had done to the other building of the assassination circle, he received another huge boost in strength. ''Roar'' ''Looks like, he is happy to destroy more...Haha,'' Hearing the roars of his dragon, Ajax silentlyughed as he allowed it to destroy as much as it wanted. The entire radius of 5 kilometers around the main building of the assassination circle was its area where all of its assassins live. From time to time, it also killed many assassins who were living in those buildings. It felt nothing except for pure joy and something in its head was saying that it had to destroy more and more. .... ''Damn it...they are seriously more powerful and mysterious than I thought,'' While Ajax was focusing on Necros, the battle between the chief of the assassination circle and Darbaudr reached another height and the chief became much more serious. ''If I was not injured, I would have easily killed these pests; however, I don''t have any other choice than using it,'' The chief was barely able to manage his stance against Darbaurdr because of his injury in the chest. No matter how many healing pills he swallowed the bleeding won''t stop making his battle prowess drastically decrease. So, he thought to use something which he didn''t want to use until now. However, he was still hesitant to use it. ''Aarghhh'' ''Aarghh'' ''Aarg'' While he still hesitating to use his final trump card, he heard the painful groans of the vice chief which were decreasing and soon the entire ce fell silent. "Damn your pest. You have sessfully angered me. Now face the consequences," As soon as he assumed that the vice chief was dead, the chief finally lost his cool and shouted at Ajax and others before finally took out a simr-looking assassin god''s statue from out of thin air. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' He ced it on the ground and chanted something inaudible before looking at the elemental spirit which was still absorbing the energy from his dead vice chief. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the physical body of the chief started changing and turned into an ugly looking monster. His body was bing thin and his leg was even thinner. Overall, his current body was very good for running. ''As I expected, there is another assassin god''s statue,'' Ajax became alert when he saw the changes in the chief''s body and warned Necros and Darabaudr to be careful. "First, I will kill you," As soon as his body was transformed, the chief looked at Darbaudr, who sneaked up on him earlier and sessfully angered the chief. So, he took Darbaudr as his first target. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, he rushed towards Darabudr to kill him. ''Die,'' ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' However, what the chief didn''t know was Darbaurdr was good at calcting his opponent''s movements and adding with his space elements, he was sessfully dodging his attacks. ''Young master. Looks like we need to go for n C,'' While dodging the attacks from the chief, the barbarian hurriedly suggested going for n C. n C was the final n for them to escape from the assassination circle if the thing went south. So, when he saw how fast and powerful the chief had be after using the assassin god''s statue, the barbarian didn''t want to take risk of his young master''s death. ''No. Not yet,'' Ajax shook his head because he still didn''t get the mission aplishment notification from the system. So, he could not leave. If he were to escape now, he had to find other small shops that belong to the assassin sect and moreover, it would be a very high profile as the shops of other powers would also reside there. ''It''s very risky to destroy those shops without proper nning,'' Ajax shook his head as he held the escape talisman in his hand to use it as soon as he lost all his hope. ''When I feel like escaping, I will just summon bak my summons and escape from here. As for Darbaudr, he had his own escape talismans,'' That''s right! Ajax had many escape talismans in his inventory which he bought from the dimensional crevice. An escape talisman could teleport the user to somewhere around 5 kilometers radius of his current position. So, he was very confident wasing here to destroy the assassination circle. ''What should I do? What should I do?'' Ajax continued to rack his brain for an idea to kill the chief of the assassination circle. ''Phew...calm down. Getting worried is not helpful in any way,'' Soon, he calmed himself down as he finally decided to do one thing. ''I will go all out and kill this chief,'' Ajax always wanted to go all out in killing a strong opponent. So, after calming his mind, he decided to use all his trump cards in killing the chief of the assassination circle. Moreover, there was no one around him and Ajax was confident in killing the chief if he went all out. "Darbaudr, how about you join with others to kill him?" Ajax looked at Darbaudr and revealed a slight smile. "Of course, I am happy to do that," Darabaudr never liked escaping from a fight because it was in his blood that a barbarian should fight to death no matter what. However, he didn''t want Ajax to die here. So, earlier he suggested going for n C. But now, his young master himself said to fight to the death, So, of course, he was happy to do that. "Everyone, it''s time to y," Without wasting any more time, Ajax directly summoned all his summons from the inner world. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the entire ce was filled with elemental spirits of various colours along with many spirit beasts of varying sizes. ''Roar'' As soon as they were summoned, all the spirit beasts angrily roared at the chief and waited for Ajax to give his order to them. So that they could finish him off. "What?" Chapter 632: Plan C

Chapter 632: n C

"What?" The chief, who was in the transformed state, was shocked to the core when he saw various elemental spirits belonging to fire, life, poison etc. Among the elemental spirits, he didn''t summon it because he didn''t bring him from the mercenary squad residence as he was sure that he would not use it in any case. Along with the elemental spirits, there were spirit beasts of various sizes with different elements. Compared to the elemental spirits, there were more spirit beasts in that ce. Not only in numbers but in terms of power, the spirit beasts were mocking more powerful because of the three times boost from the ''Abyssal beast god bloodline''. "What are you waiting for? Just finish him. All dark type beings except for Necros can eat him to increase their strength," Looking at the elemental spirits and spirit beasts who were looking at him for his order to kill him, Ajax shouted as loud as possible because he was too excited and it was the first time he was using all his summons in the open. As for why he didn''t want Necros to eat him because it would make other Dark-type beings disappointed in him. ''Anyway, Necros already ate the vice-chief in whole. It will take some time for him to digest all the energy from that body,'' Ajax didn''t ponder much about it as he looked at Necros, who was still sitting with his eyes closed. ''Yes, master'' All the elemental spirits rushed at the chief after nodding their heads at Ajax. ''Roar'' As for the spirit beasts, they didn''t bother to reply to Ajax as they directly rushed at their single target. Soon, a fight between an army versus a transformed assassin started. Just as Ajax turned his head off from the direction of Necros, he got a system notification that gave him quite a shock. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit, Necros for sessfully breaking through 4 minor realms in the general realm. ''Holy heavens,'' Ajax unconsciously muttered in his mind as he looked at motionless Necros as though he was still absorbing the energy from the vice-chief''s body. ''Thinking about it, it should be not shocking to get an increment of four minor realms after absorbing an elite general realm,'' However, his shock didn''tst long as shook his head and looked at the fight. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' ''sh'' He witnessed a total messy fight when all his elemental spirits and spirit beast surrounded the chief and didn''t give him any chance to escape. Moreover, all types of skills like long, medium and short-range attacks. Darbaudr, Ghost, ck Yetis, Infernal spirit, Volcanis were in the close-range battle and from time to time, Volcanis and Infernal spirit would use some long-range attacks from the close range to give a surprise for the chief. As for the middle-range, it was taken control by Bane, Golden bears, Lynx and Nite. Golden bears and Lynx continuously move from short-range to mid-range depending on the situation. Coming to the long-range, it mustpulsorily have a healer and therees the life elemental spirit, Spirus. Along with her, Cerauno, Dabrus. Overall, Ajax''s summons were ying one-sided match with the chief. ''Ghost is fully controlling the fight,'' After observing for a few moments, Ajax could easily guess that the reason the fight was one-sided was because of the three-eyed ghost fox. ''No wonder, he could survive in the wilderness of the Shixato region,'' Ajax felt lucky that he was able to form a contract with this three-eyed ghost fox. Compared to other elemental spirits and spirit beasts, the three-eyed ghost fox was not using a single attack move; instead, it was using its teleport to mess with the chief. No matter how much he tried, the chief was unable to hit the fox that greatly annoyed him. While he was trying to catch the ghost fox, the other summons were using their strongest attacks to finish him. ''Sigh...looks like I need to train them,'' Looking at the messy fight between his summons and the chief of the assassination circle, Ajax sighed because even though he had numbers, they were not coordinating well with one another which was reducing the total battle power of his summons. ''Ding, A new mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check. ''Is it regarding the coordination training of my summons? Anyway, let''s see whether I am right or wrong,'' Ajax revealed a smile as he guessed the new mission without checking and thought to check the new mission. ''Ding, Emergency alert. ''Ding, Emergency alert. . . ''Ding, The system detected a strong opponenting this way. ''Ding, The system suggests the host leave as soon as possible. Before he could check the details of the new mission, his sight waspletely filled with danger signs and the system urged him to leave from the location as soon as possible. "System, how much time..." ''Ding, 30 seconds till the opponent reaches here. Before he could finish his sentence, the system hurriedly replied to him. "Everyone, kill him within 10 seconds," Ajax shouted at his summons to finish the fight within 10 seconds. "Necros, we need to leave. Help them," Next, he looked at Necors, who was still sitting cross-legged to absorb the energy and asked him to help the other summons. ''Are you sure, master?'' Necros didn''t open his eyes as he looked at Ajax through the voice transmission. "Yes, finish him," Ajax didn''t have another choice. So, he asked Necros to do something. The thing is, even though his summons overpowered the chief, they were still unable to kill him because a natural elite general realm cultivator''s body is much stronger and it could endure much damage. In simpler words, it was very hard for level 1 general realm (Rank 5 for spirit beast) or lower cultivators to kill a level 5 elite general realm within a short time. So, he asked the help of his dark elemental spirit, Necors who could devour anything that was rted to dark energy. "Someone, hold him for a second," Necros finally opened his eyes as he said to the other summons. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said that, 5 huge ghost foxes along with five undead warriors came forward as the cannon fodder to stop the chief for a while. The chief was already tired and his body was entirely covered with injuries. Even then he continued to fight the ghost foxes and undead warriors. ''Swoosh'' ''Gulp'' Amidst the fight, Necros appeared behind the Chief and swallowed him in a single gulp just like how he did with the vice chief. ''Phew...everyonee back,'' Seeing that Necros was able to swallow the chief without any problem, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly summoned back all the summons including the dragon which was some distance away from them. ''Darbaudr, it''s time for n C,'' Ajax looked at Darbaudr and said to him before he rushed towards Lechner. ''Swoosh'' Simrly, Darbaudr also rushed towards Lechner; however, along with the way, he picked up two assassination statues along with him. "Hold my hands," As soon as he reached them, Darbaudr asked them to hold his hands before muttering something inside his head. ''Swoosh'' Soon, three green coloured talismans appeared in front of him and floated while emitting a green coloured light that increased and surrounded them. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' At the exact moment, two things happened that made two ''Swoosh'' sounds. One ''Swoosh'' belonged to the disappearance of Ajax and others whereas the other ''Swoosh'' belonged to formless energy that was able to take a look at Ajax and others just before they were disappeared. The formless energy started transforming into a human which looked exactly the same as the leader of the assassin sect, Gerg. ''What did the assassination circle did to him that he wants to destroy it?? And how did he get into touch with such powerful beings?'' The sect leader Gerg was shocked when he saw Lechner with two other masked men. As for how he knew Lechner because it was the sect leader Gerg himself who gave the dark golden badge to Lechner when he was elevated to the dark gold assassin. "Looks like the first and second elder messed up something again when I was in my seclusion," The sect leader Gerg clenched his fist as he was angered to the point where he wanted to kill the second elder himself; however, his sect needed him. When he gave the badge to Lechner, he looked very sincere in his profession and even if the assassination circle wants him to give him life for a mission, he would have given it; however, now the one who wanted to give his life to an organization wanted to destroy it. ''No matter who they did to you Lechner, I am going to kill you and those who helped you,'' Nevertheless, the sect leader Gerg was very angry because the main source of ie for his assassin sect was now destroyed. So, he had to kill them at any cost to vent his anger. He continued to wait at the destroyed main building of the assassination circle and after some time a few silhouettes came from the distance. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Theynded in front of the sect leader Gerg and looked at the rumble all around them. If their faces were not covered by masks, one could see a mixture of anger and hate on their faces. "I was unable to reach in time to stop them...sigh," While they were looking at the rumble, the sect leader Gerg shook his head as he sighed. Chapter 633: Second Chance for Lechner

Chapter 633: Second Chance for Lechner

Even though he was very angry at Lechner and his helpers, the sect leader Gerg was not a reckless person to immediately go after them. Moreover, he wanted to know more about why Lechner destroyed the assassination circle. "Sect leader Gerg, did you see the one who did this?" When the 4 assassin brothers heard the sect leader Gerg''s words, they hurriedly asked him about the perpetrators. "Yes. It was none other than Lechner. He found some strong helpers to do that," the sect leader Gerg replied to the 4 remaining assassins from the assassination circle. "What? Lechner?" "How is that possible?" "How can he be still alive?" "Why would someone help a crippled person?" Various questions came out of the four assassins that were aimed at one another and at the sect leader Gerg. "Huh?" Hearing those questions, the sect leader Gerg raised his brows as he felt something was wrong and asked them, "What happened to him?" After hearing the questions that came out of the four assassins in shock, the sect leader Gerg''s curiosity increased a lot and asked them about what happened to Lechner. "Huh?" All of a sudden, all the four assassins looked at the sect leader Gerg with confused looks on their faces. "What happened to you? Didn''t you say it is impossible for Lechner to be alive?" the sect leader Gerg asked them again regarding his earlier question. When the sect leader Gerg saw Lechner, it was only for one split second and he was unable to notice his spirit consciousness as he also wanted to check the other two people along with him. "Sect leader Gerg, isn''t Lechner taken by the assassin sect''s elder for failing a mission?" One of the four assassins asked the sect leader Gerg with puzzled looks as he continued saying, "Later, we were informed by the second elder that his spirit consciousness was destroyed and killed by the sect." "What? Damn this second elder," The sect leader Gerg was shocked by those words and his rage towards the second elder increased to the peak. If the second elder was here right now, the sect leader Gerg would have killed him at this instant without thinking for a second. Since the second elder was not here, the sect leader Gerg cursed him in his heart and asked the assassins, "Tell me the whole story." Soon the assassins told everything they knew about what happened to Lechnerand his family and the reason behind those punishments. "Sigh..." Hearing the entire story, the sect leader Gerg could not help but sigh as he thought, ''I think, Lechner might have displeased the second elder.'' The sect leader Gerg could guess the reason for sending Lechner to a mission that he would not be willing to andter he was punished for ignoring the direct orders of the assassin sect. "I promise you that I will help you take revenge against those who destroyed the assassination circle. Until then, you cane and stay in the assassin sect," the sect leader Gerg said to stay them in the assassin sect as he continued, "You will be given the guest elder role until the assassination circle is reconstructed." How could the assassin sect leave behind a major asset like an assassination circle just like that? The sect leader thought to construct all the buildings once again and recruit and train more assassins for the assassination circle. "Thanks, sect leader Gerg," All the four assassins bowed to the sect leader before leaving to the assassin sect along with the sect leader Gerg. "Once we return to the sect, I will order all the disciples to spread the posters of Lechner and his two helpers all over the Zrocehster province with a high reward for anyone who could inform about their whereabouts," While they were rushing back to the assassin sect, the sect leader Gerg said to all the flour assassins. As long as the reward was high, many cultivators would be willing to hunt for their whereabouts and it was impossible for Lechner to hide. However, it was a little difficult to find the other members because they were wearing masks. Nevertheless, the sect leader Gerg decided to put a bounty ording to what he remembered about the other two cultivators. As for the assassins, they didn''t reply to him and silently followed behind the sect leader Gerg. ''Damn it...I wanted to take the help of the assassination circle''s chief but he was killed by someone else,'' Soon, the sect leader Gerg started to think about the original problem which was to kill Ajax. Initially, he wanted to take the chief''s help to kill Ajax; however, he was killed by someone and now he had another problem which was to kill the perpetrators of the assassination circle. However, if he knew that the assassination circle''s chief was killed by Ajax and his summons, then he would be shocked to death. "It is all because of the second elder. Once I kill him, everything will be nice and peaceful," At this point in time, killing the second elder was the only solution for the sect leader Gerg''s frustration to disappear. ''Wait a second. Why should I kill him? Why not I use him for the experimentation of the chief,'' All of a sudden, he got an exciting n that would surely help him in the ''Killing Ajax'' mission. ''Moreover, I got the chief''s four guinea pigs with me. As long as I follow his recipe, I might create something with the second the elder,'' When he thought about his idea, the sect leader Gerg revealed a cruel smile on his face; however, he was careful from being noticed by others. The sect leader Gerg had his own reasons for inviting the four assassins to stay in the assassin sect. Without talking, they continued to rush towards the assassin sect. ..... Five kilometers away from the main building of the assassination circle, Ajax and the other two with him were transported to exactly five kilometers in the direction of the mercenary guild away from the main building of the assassination circle. ording to the system exnation about the escape talisman, it would teleport people in random directions; however, with the help of the barbarian, who had the affinity with the space type element, they managed to teleport to an exact ce and in the direction they wanted. ''Damn it...damn it'' After they were teleported, Ajax started cursing in his heart. "What happened, young master?" Even though Ajax didn''t curse out loud, the barbarian was able to tell that his young master was frustrated for some reason. "Nothing," However, Ajax just shook his head as he calmed himself down. ''Looks like I need to go and destroy a couple more shops to get the mission aplished,'' The reason he was frustrated was that he still didn''t get the system notification informing him about thepletion of the mission. So, after calming himself down, Ajax thought to destroy a few more shops owned by the assassin sect. At the same in the destruction site of the assassination, a small brick in the huge wall was crushed and all of a sudden, the huge wall copsed onto the ground. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission of ''Counterattack the enemy'' ''Ding, Destroyed 10 percent of the assassin sect''s assets. ''Ding, A trip to the five elemental world is rewarded along with a 2 minor realm advancement energy orb, which was stored in the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Continue to finish more missions to get rewarded by the system. Just as he was thinking about how to destroy more shops to finish the mission, he got a series of missions that gave a pleasant surprise to him. ''Oh. The rewards are greater than I thought,'' Ajax was very much satisfied with the rewards because even with any one of the rewards, he would be satisfied as he basically did nothing in the mission. Moreover, this mission was very exciting for him because he used all his summons to kill the chief of the assassination circle. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness ispletely filled and the system detected the iing essence of nature. Hurry up and deplete some of the essence of nature as soon as possible. When he was amidst the excitement from the mission aplishment, he got another system notification that made him anxious. ''I will do that,'' Without thinking much, Ajax turned his face towards Lechner and asked, "Do you want your spirit consciousness to heal? Also, do you want to be a part of my team in destroying the assassin sect?" His words were very fast; however, Lechner clearly understood them and without any hesitation, he nodded his head to Ajax''s words. If it was before they destroyed the assassination circle, Lechern would have not epted without any hesitation; however, things were different now. "Good. There will be a trial specially designed for you. As long as youplete it, you will be reborn into apletely new person with your memories intact. So, try your best inpleting it," Ajax gave him a few advice before silently ordering the system in his head, ''System, I want to use the ''Second chance'' feature for him.'' The second chance was a system feature that could help people like Lechner, who used to be bad in the past; however, changed into a good person which cost him the lives of his family and his cultivation. He used it on Braylon, who is currently known as Justice and this is Ajax''s second time using the ''second chance'' feature. Chapter 634: Eagle Brothers

Chapter 634: Eagle Brothers

As soon as Lechner agreed to his second chance, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he silently ordered the system, ''System, consume 5000 units of the essence of nature and start the second chance process.'' To use the second chance process, Ajax needed to invest 5000 units of the essence of nature in the person he selected. As long as the selected personpletes the trial, not only the person''s spirit consciousness would be healed but Ajax would get a refund of his essence of nature also. ''Ding, Selected target ''Lechner'' within the range. ''Ding, Consumed 5000 units of the essence of nature and starting the ''Second chance''. As soon as he gave permission to the system, it started the process. ''Swoosh'' Along with the appearance of the system notifications, Lechner disappeared. As for where he went even Ajax didn''t have a clue about it. ''Ding, Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature for killing the chief of the assassination circle. Soon, Ajax understood the reason why the system had sent the emergency alert to empty his essence of nature and nodded his head. "Darbaudr, you picked the assassin god''s statues, right? Give them to me," After settling the issues with his spirit consciousness and Lechner, Ajax thought of the assassin god''s statues which were picked by Darbaudr and asked him. While Ajax was busy with the second chance feature of the system, Darbaudr remained silent and didn''t bother to ask Ajax because he used to see his young master space out into thin air for minutes. Aftering out of the daze, something unusual would happen. Nevertheless, as long as his young master didn''t want to say it, he would never bother about it. "Yes, young master," The barbarian long removed the ''Halo mask'' and reverted back to his original form. As soon as Ajax asked him about the statues, he tried to take them out of his storage ring. "Wait. After going back to the residence building, I will check. Until then keep them with you," Ajax stopped him from taking them out as he was still felt that he was in a region closer to the assassination circle and the expert who appeared just before they disappear mighte towards them. So, Ajax decided to leave from here first andter, he could check them as long as he wanted. "Shall we run? Or fly, young master?" Darabaudr asked as he was not sure what his young master wanted? "Let''s not do both," Unexpected to the barbarian''s expectations, Ajax revealed a smile as he shook his head before saying, ''Let''s catch a spirit beast for us to give a ride.'' The thing is, they can not use the dragon to fly back to the mercenary squad residence because if someone noticed them and their location would be revealed. Moreover, they were tired and they could not run 150 kilometers. So, Ajax suggested they catch a spirit beast. Depending on the spirit beast, they would either ride or fly it. "You can wait here, young master. I will catch a regr spirit beast ande as soon as possible,'' Darbaudr didn''t ask for the reasons as he immediately rushed to search for a suitable spirit beast for them to fly back home. ''Wai...'' Before Ajax could give a reply, the barbarian had long gone which made Ajax shake his head. ''He is too fast to listen to me,'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as he shook his head. Even though Ajax couldmunicate with him from a long distance, he didn''t bother to call him back as he thought, ''Since he already went, let himplete the task.'' After the barbarian left, he stretched his muscles a bit and continued to wait for the barbarian toe back. ''Huh?'' While he was waiting, Ajax felt some fluctuations from his inner world that made him look into it. "Necros,e out," It was rted to Necros. So, he asked him toe out of the inner world and carefully observed him. "What happened to you?" Ajax noticed some difort fluctuations from Necros. So, he asked him regarding that. "Beh" Just after Ajax asked him, Necros coughed out something from his mouth. ''Haha. So, this is causing you difort,'' Finally, Ajax understood what made Necros so diforted because he was unable to devour the storage ring which belonged to the space element. "Phew" "Finally they came out," Seeing the two storage rings on the ground, Necros heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Ajax before asking, "Master, I still need to properly absorb the energy I gained from the chief and vice-chiefs of the assassination circle. So, I will go back and cultivate." "Sure thing. Go and increase your cultivation as soon as possible. You will get more delicious things in the future," Ajax nodded his head at Necros and enticed him to cultivate as much as possible. Soon, he sent Necros back into the inner world. ¡­.. Somewhere in a destend which was covered by huge trees, ''Brother, it is another peaceful day,'' A brown coloured eagle said to another brown coloured eagle in a human speech. ''Yes, brother. It is such a quiet ce and that''s why I don''t bother to leave this ce and enter the cursed wilderness,'' The second eagle replied back to the forest eagle. Both the eagles were small looking with the size of not too big or too small. There were various regions where spirit beasts lived other than cursed wilderness; however, once they reached specific strength all the spirit beast leaves to the cursed wilderness in the pursuit of gaining more strength. However, they would die because of the cruelty in the cursed wilderness. Some beasts like these two brown coloured spirit eagles knew they could not reach any higher because they didn''t have any bloodline or talent. So, they became the sole rulers of the small deste forest enjoying one day after another. "These two looks fine for the ride," However, what they didn''t know was their future was about to change as someone eyes them just a few seconds back. "You two little birdies,e here," Soon, Darbaudr called them from the ground. "Huh? Who dared to call us little birdies?" Once they heard the barbarian''s words, both the brown coloured eagles became angry and flew out of their nests. "Of course it''s me," The barbarian slowly released his cultivation aura that shook both the eagles. "Oh respected master, please spare the lives of these two little birdies," There was aplete change in their attitudes and they hurriedly flew down from the huge trees and bowed in front of Darbaudr. "I have some work for you two," the barbarian only said a single line before directly sitting on one of the brown coloured eagles before saying, "Let''s go. My young master is waiting for a while now." Soon, both the eagles flew into the sky and followed the barbarian''s direction. ''Why?'' Both the eagles have only one thought in their mind and that was why their luck was so bad. The reason why they didn''t go to the cursed wilderness was that they wanted to be free because they would only live for a couple more years before their lifespan ends. They already wasted their entire life in cultivating. So, at the end of their life, they wanted to rx and enjoy the days. However, now they became the flying mounts for some high-level cultivators. ... While Darbaudr was bringing their flying mounts towards Ajax, he was looking at the holographic screen in front of him. ''Ding, Mission name:- Training the summons. Details:- As a summoner, he needs to give proper training to his summons. Even with the low strength, a group of two or three of your summons should kill a cultivator with one major realm. More details:- Make the summons into proper groups and train them to face any type of opponent in the future. Rewards:- For every one proper team of summons, a spin in the lottery. "Oh. Nice mission," Ajax nodded his head at the halographic screen as he felt it was a good mission for him to train his summons. "Flutter" Soon, Ajax heard the wings fluttering sound and looked at the sky to see two brown coloured eagles along with Darbaudr. "You can quicker than I thought," Ajax smilingly said to the barbarian and gave some space for the eagles tond. "Young master, our ride is ready," Darbaudr jumped down from the eagle as he said to Ajax. "Okay. Let''s go," Ajax didn''t talk much before mounting one of the eagles and asked them to fly. However, they didn''t fly and looked at Darbaudr for hismand. "Haha" Ajaxughed out loud as he sent some of his universal essence of nature into the eagle he sat. ''Screech'' As soon as the eagle received the essence of nature from Ajax, something inside it broke and soon it broke through to the rank 5 spirit beast realm. ''What?'' The other brown coloured spirit eagle was surprised by the sudden breakthrough of his brother and hurriedly congratted him, ''Congrattions, brother. You finally broke through the barrier that was obstructing us from reaching the rank 5.'' At the same time, the eagle was a little emotional; however, it controlled as it didn''t want to be embarrassed in front of a high-level cultivator. ''Thank you, young master, for giving me your blessings,'' However, the rank 5 spirit eagle ignored his rank 4 brother and thanked Ajax. "What?" As for the other spirit eagle, it was shocked by the words of his brother and looked at Ajax with respect. Chapter 635: Rank 5 Eagles request

Chapter 635: Rank 5 Eagle''s request

The rank 4 eagle thought his brother broke through to rank 5 on his own; however, after seeing him taking the human on his back, he understood that the young man had something to do with it. "It''s nothing. I just gave a little push and you broke through on your own," Ajax shook his head and asked it to fly now. Ajax revealed a slight as he shook his head and asked the rank 5 eagle to fly into the sky. ''Yes, young master,'' This time, the eagle didn''t waste any time and excitedly soared into the air. "What are you waiting for? Follow them," The barbarian tapped the rank 4 eagle below him and asked it to fly along with the rank 5 eagle. "Yes...yes" Coming out of his thoughts, the rank 4 eagle hurriedly soared into the air and followed behind his brother. ''Why am I not that lucky?'' The rank 4 eagle became a little bit sad at his luck; however, when he thought it was his brother who was the lucky one, that little bit of sadness disappeared. ''What is there to be sad about? If he was in my position, he would be excited about my breakthrough,'' While following his brother, the rank 4 eagle thought in his mind and increased the speed to catch up to his brother. ''Not bad, not bad,'' As for Ajax, he was enjoying the medium-paced flight as the rank 5 eagle flew as high as possible and felt something different when hepared his current ride with the dragon. ''System, show me theplete details of these birds,'' Ajax looked at themon looking rank 4 and rank 5 brown-coloured eagles and thought to check their information to help them raise their bloodline or strength. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Brown feathered eagle. Strength:- Rank 5 Element:- None Skills:- Sharpened sight, enhanced flight, Feather strike, Piercing ws, Wingdes. Special skills:- Fearless Eagle (Gained after reaching rank 5) Bloodline:- None Description:- A mostmon type of spirit beasts with basic talent in cultivation. It needs fortuitous events to reach a higher rank. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Brown feathered eagle. Strength:- Rank 4 Element:- None Skills:- Sharpened sight, enhanced flight, Feather strike. Bloodline:- None Description:- A mostmon type of spirit beasts with basic talent in cultivation. It needs fortuitous events to reach a higher rank. Soon, two halographic screens appeared in front of him with theplete details of the brown eagles. ''Nothing special,'' Ajax shook his head with the mostmon skills and moreover, there was not a single trace of any bloodline in them. ''If I give them advanced essence pills, it might help them awaken their bloodline and they can continue their cultivation journey; however, those pills were valuable to my summons and there are only a few of them,'' Ajax shook his head that he was unwilling to give the advanced essence pills to the brown coloured eagles. ''However, I can give them low-level and mid-level primitive stones and after that, to what extent they will grow is depends on their luck and hard work,'' Soon, Ajax came to the conclusion that he would give them some of the primitive stones after they reached the mercenary squad residence. Primitive stones could help a spirit beast awaken a bloodline or if the blood was already awakened, then it would help the spirit beast to increase the purity of the bloodline. Since both the eagles were helping him with the ride, he decided to give them something in return. Moreover, in his inventory, there were tons of primitive stones which he brought from his first-dimensional crevice. ''If only these stones worked on my contracted spirit beasts, then it would have been better for me,'' He was very generous in even giving out the mid-level primitive stones for just a simple ride because the low and mid-level primitive stones have no effects on his spirit beasts. ''Swoosh'' Two eagles continued to fly towards the Hazegroove mercenary squad building at a medium pace and Ajax was enjoying the scenery along the way. Soon, they reached the squad building and the two eaglesnded in the open space behind the building where he was attacked earlier in the morning. "Thanks for the ride," After getting down from the eagles, Ajax thanked them with a smile and took out a bunch of primitive stones from his inventory before extending his hands at them. "Take this primitive stones as a payment for your service," In his hands, there were both low-level and middle-level primitive stones as he asked them to take the stones. ''What? Is he giving that many primitive stones to us?'' This was the only thought in the heads of the two eagles. It was almost impossible to find even a single primitive stone in the Zrochester province. So, seeing the handful of the primitive stones in front of them, they were shocked. ''Let''s take them, brother. What are we waiting for?'' The rank 4 eagle silently transmitted his voice to his brother and was about to take the stones from his hands. ''Idiot'' ''Fool'' ''You still didn''t understand what the young monster in front of us is trying to do?'' However, the rank 5 eagle started scolding the rank 4 eagle and asked a question. ''Huh?'' Taking the scoldings from his brother, who didn''t scold him till now, the rank 4 eagle was shocked and hurriedly stopped in his tracks. ''Brother, you know about me, right? Please help me understand what you understood,'' The rank 4 eagle requested his brother to help him understand. ''Wait for a second,'' The rank 5 eagle asked his brother to wait before looking at Ajax and said, "Young master, it was already a great blessing for us to encounter you. So, we will not take these primitive stones." ''What? Brother, are you crazy? Why are you denying such a nice reward,'' ''With this, we might awaken some good bloodline and our chances of reaching the rank 6 or even rank 7 is possible,'' When the rank 4 eagle heard his brother''s words, tears starteding out of his eyes because it was the fortuitous event they were waiting for. ''Idiot. Stop behaving like an idiot. With just a tiny bit of essence of nature, I broke through to rank 5. So, you want to take some primitive stones? The young monster is just testing us. If we take the primitive stones, he would be disappointed in us. So, just keep quiet for a while,'' The rank 5 eagle scolded his younger brother and exined in a more detailed way. After hearing those words, the rank 4 eagle didn''t utter another word. As long as they use all the primitive stones in Ajax''s hands, their future would be bright. "Are you sure? If my mood changes, you will not get a single primitive stone from me," Ajax raised his brows and asked onest time. "Yes, master. We don''t want any reward for the ride," the rank 5 eagle nodded its bird head and said, "However, we want to be your mounts, young master. Please don''t say no to it." Finally, the rank 5 eagle''s request made Ajax stun for a second and he startedughing as he carefully looked at both the eagles. Chapter 636: Daniel

Chapter 636: Daniel

"Sure sure" Ajaxughed for a moment before nodding his head and agreed to the rank 5 eagle''s request. "Thank you, young master. Thank you," Both the eagles hurriedly bowed to Ajax and thanked him. ''I still feel, we should have taken those primitive stones from him,'' The rank 4 eagle still thought taking the primitive stones were the action; however, since his big brother wants to be a mount, then he also nodded his head along with him. "However, I can''t form a spirit contract with you unless you be stronger. Do you understand?" Ajax said in a calm tone as he revealed the important thing to the eagles. That''s right! Ajax was not nning to form a contract with the eagles because he still didn''t know how many spirit beasts he could form a contract with. Unless he knew for sure that he could unlimitedly form a contract with the spirit beasts, he could form a contract with themon spirit beasts. Generally, a cultivator could only form a contract with three spirit beasts per a major realm; however, his cultivation was a little different from others and he was able to form a contract with beasts without a limit. Nevertheless, he thought it would reach the limit one day. So, he had to be careful in selecting the spirit beasts. ''Anyway, I am not saying that I will not take care of them. It''s just that they could not enter my inner world,'' While waiting for their reply, Ajax silently thought in his head. "It is not at all a problem for us, young master. As long as we could follow you, it''s enough for us," the rank 5 eagle hurriedly replied to Ajax. "Good then." Ajax was satisfied by the intelligence and attitude of the rank 5 eagle from the moment he helped him reach rank 5. So, earlier, he tried to give some primitive stones to them. "About your residence¡­," Ajax felt a little troubled at where the eagles would live because the eagles could not fit into the building. "You don''t have to worry, young master. We have a way," The rank 5 eagle could understand what Ajax was saying and looked at his brother for a second before replied to Ajax. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, both the eagles transformed into middle-aged men. The two middle-aged men were almost simr except for their heights and they were also wearing the same brown-coloured robes. The rank 5 eagle was a little bit bigger than the rank 4 eagle in the human transformation. "Even though weck the talent in cultivation, we are good at learning things," The middle-aged man (Rank 4) proudly said to Ajax; however, in the next second, he was pped by his brother who asked him to shut up his mouth. "Haha" Looking at them, Ajaxughed before saying, "You can go with Darbaudr and he will show a room for you. Stay in it and properly cultivate." While saying that, Ajax tossed a bunch of primitive stones at them. "Darbaudr, before giving them a room, it''s better to ask for Captain Edmond''s permission," Next, he ordered Darbaudr before starting moving towards the building. "Yes, young master," Darbaudr and the two other middle-aged men nodded their heads. The two middle-aged men were excited when they saw the primitive stones; however, this time they didn''t reject them. "Huh? Wait for a second," Just as Ajax took a couple of steps, he stopped in his tracks and turned towards the two middle-aged men. "By the way, I still didn''t know your names," Ajax asked for their names. Since they were very good at transforming into humans, Ajax guessed that they must have visited human viges and towns before. So, he thought, they would have human names for sure. "My name is Lucas and his name Nis," The taller middle-aged man replied to Ajax with a small smile on his face. "Okay then. Let me help your brother Nis and push him to the rank 5 too," Since there was no loss for him in helping the rank 4 eagle reach rank 5, he went forward and transferred a few units of his universal essence of nature. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, the middle-aged man''s body glowed a little before his height increased to that of his big brother. "Finally, after many years of staying in the rank 4, I broke through to the rank 5" The middle-aged man looked at the sky and excitedly shouted as he could not control his excitement. "Nis, hurry up and thank the young master," Looking at his younger brother, who was excitedly shouting at the sky, Lucas pped him on his head and asked him to thank Ajax. "Thanks, young master," Nis understood his fault and hurriedly thanked Ajax. "No need to thank me again and again. Just go and cultivate properly," Soon, Ajax and others entered the residence building. After entering the building they were separated and Ajax went into his room whereas Darbaudr took the two middle-aged men to captain Edmond''s room to get a room for them. "Finally, I can rest for a couple of days and then go meet Keshe before going to the disciple selection ceremony," Once Ajax returned to his room, he decided to take full rest for the next two days without bothering about anything. Moreover, he also nned what to do after two days. ... After? a few minutes, In one of the rooms of the squad residence, "Brother Lucas, we need to properly cultivate and should not waste time like before," With the help of Darbaudr, both the eagle brothers got to the room within a few moments and as soon as they entered the room, Nis said to Lucas. "Idiot. We didn''t waste time. We are enjoying the remaining few years of our life as there was no hope for us," Lucas pped Nis as he continued, "However, things are different now as we are in contact with a cultivator who can help us reach higher realms." "Brother, please stop hitting me. I am not a kid anymore," Nics rubbed the back of his head as heined. "Then stop behaving like a stupid and let''s cultivate," Lucas didn''t bother with his brother anymore before moving to his bed and took out a low-level primitive stone. "I am going to use primitive stones to awaken a bloodline. As for what you want to do, your wish?" Lucas finished his words and closed his eyes before using the primitive stone to awaken a bloodline. "I will also not waste any more time," Soon, Nis also followed the footsteps of his brother and took out a primitive stone to awaken a bloodline. .... Inside a secret chamber of the fire sword sect, "Daniel, do you have any doubts regarding the cultivation?" An old man in the fire sword sect robes asked a young man, whose face was covered with a mask. "I don''t have any doubts regarding the cultivation. However, I have doubts regarding other issues rted to my father," The young man removed the mask from his face and asked with a serious look on his face. The face was half burnt and the other half looked somewhat simr to Ajax. ''What?'' Chapter 637: No rules

Chapter 637: No rules

"What?" The old man in the fire sword sect''s robes raised his brows as his facial expression became serious when he heard the words of the young man with half burned face. "You heard me, right, grandpa," There was no change in the young man''s expression as he asked the old man. "That...he is..," "Why do you want to know about your father? Didn''t I already say he is an insane person who killed your mother and at the same time he tried to kill you; however, I saved you from him," Before the old man could finish his words, a middle-aged man appeared in the secret chamber and scoffed at them. "Sect leader Ketrok," "Ketrok" Daniel and the old man greeted the middle-aged man because he was none other than the sect leader of the fire sword sect, Ketrok. "Now say, what is bothering you?" The sect leader Ketrok nodded his head and asked the young man about his doubts. "You are all saying that my father killed my mother but can you tell me why he did that? Moreover, how can someone kill the person he loved and decided to even leave his own family for her sake?" The young man didn''t show any fear while asking the questions as he continued to ask, "If you don''t want to answer me, I will go and ask him these questions for myself." ''...'' The old man, who was the grandfather of Daniel was speechless at the young man''s word as he looked at the sect leader Ketrok fearing that he might kill Daniel. "Haha" All of a sudden, the sect leader Ketrok startedughing at Daniel''s words before saying, "So, you figured it out?" Soon, his expression changed into anger as he shouted at the young man. "So, it was you that killed my mother," The young man showed no expression on his face as he nodded his head. Daniel, the young man woke up in the secret chamber three years ago with his memoriespletely lost. However, he was exined something about his past by his self-proimed grandfather whether he was his true grandfather or not, he still didn''t know. ording to his grandfather, his own father killed his mother andter tried to kill him; however, he was saved by the sect leader of the fire sword sect and he owes his life to the sect leader. He was under continuous stress to cultivate by others and he didn''t have any time to think much; however, as days passed, he started thinking about the story that the old man had said to him and found many things missing. So, finally, after the break through to the general realm, he asked the old man. Surprisingly, the sect leader Ketrok hade the moment he asked those questions to the old man. So, Daniel directly asked the sect leader. "Yes, I killed her. What are you going to do about it?" The sect leader Ketrok no longer bothered to hide that fact as he revealed a cruel smile on his face. "What can I do? I will do nothing; however, my father will not? You yourself said that my father is an insane person. Since you killed his wife; I wonder what he is going to do to you and your fire sword sect?" Finally, Daniel revealed a smile as he scoffed at the sect leader Ketrok. "Do you think I will not kill you for the words you just uttered?" The sect leader Ketrok summoned a longsword and pointing at Daniel''s neck, he asked him. "You will not kill me. If you wanted to kill me, you have long killed me. There must be a reason why you kept me here. My guess is you want to use me when my father wages war on your sect. Am I right?" Daniel continued to smile as he pushed away the longsword which was pointing at his neck. ''Damn it. Like father, like son. They both anger me to death with their intelligence,'' When he heard Daniel''s words, the sect leader Ketrok cursed both Daniel and his father in his head. That''s right! There is a reason why he is not killing Daniel despite the fact he was annoyed by him. ''Damn that old sect leader. He made me swore to the heavens that I will not kill his father. With the nature of his father, he would surely increase his strength ande for revenge. At that time, if he was too powerful, he thought to use this kid to kill that bastard,'' The sect leader Ketrok added another person to his cursing list and it was the old sect leader of the fire sword sect and the real grandfather of Daniel. ''Even though that old bastard is dead. I can''t go and kill him unless hees to wage war against the sect,'' The previous sect leader gave the position of the sect leader to Ketrok on one condition that he would not harm Daniel''s father in any way unless he wages a war against the sect. In this cultivation world, anything can happen at any time and adding to the fact that to take revenge on some powerful sect, one person could go to any lengths. So, the sect leader Ketrov kept Daniel in the secret chamber as his emergency n since no one knows Daniel''s existence except for him and his old servant. "From now on, there is no need to give him any cultivation resources except for some low-quality food. Since he had already reached the general realm, he will not die that easily," After giving his orders to the old man, the sect leader Ketrok nced at the young man before leaving from the secret chamber. ''I hope you wille soon and take me away from here, father,'' As for Daniel, he was muttering to himself while imagining the father whose face he still didn''t remember. ...¡­. In the royal chambers, "Reid,e here," King Stephen Draton called his chiefmander with a loud shout. "Yes, your majesty. What are your orders," The middle-aged man hurriedly came walking into the royal chambers and kneeled on a single leg while asking for his orders. There was no respect in his words or bow despite him bowing and using the words ''Your majesty''. "Announce to the entire province that the ''Champion''s contest'' will be held exactly in 15 days. So, those who are at the corners of the Zrochester province could n their journey a little bit early," King Stephen didn''t mind theck of respect frommander Reid as he told him to announce the news to the entire province. "Yes, your majesty. Anything more?" Commander Reid nodded his head as he asked if there was anything he needed to do. "Say that, the rewards will be much greater this time and there will be no rules for the contest," While saying that, King Stephen revealed a cruel smile. "Okay, your majesty," Commander Reid didn''t feel shocked or surprised with the king''s words anymore as he had already seen how cruel he could be. So, after taking the orders, he went out of the royal chamber to announce the news to the entire province. Chapter 638: Masked Draugr

Chapter 638: Masked Draugr

After the incident of destroying the assassination circle, two days passed by in a jiffy. The incident spread to all the corners of the Zrochester province and it became a hot topic for the cultivators all over the province. "Who do you think destroyed the assassination circle?" A group of cultivators in a tavern were also discussing the incident as one of the cultivators asked others about the perpetrator. ''p'' "Are you an idiot or what? Didn''t you see the bounty ced on each and every corner of this town? Why are you asking such a silly question," However, the first reply he got was a p on the back of his head and only then a cultivator answered him. As soon as the sect leader Gerg returned to the assassin sect, as he promised to the four assassins, he announced a bounty for any information on the three people in the posters. "Bastard...why are you hitting me? Do you think three people could destroy the assassination circle? Who are you kidding?" The cultivator who was pped became angry as retorted back at the cultivator that hit him earlier as he whispered, ''I think, one of the sects or even the royal family must be the true mastermind behind the destruction of the assassination circle.'' ''Thinking about it, the other powers didn''t like that thing from the start. Maybe it is possible,'' ''Right right,'' Soon everyone agreed to his words in whispers. The other powers in the Zrochester province didn''t like that kind of organisation despite the fact the assassin sect said that it would not ept any assassin missions rted to the top powers. How could they trust the assassin sect on their word? As long as they provide enough money they could kill one of their own. In the end, the rumour of all the top powers (excluding the assassin sect) destroyed the assassination circle circted from one ce to another and spread all over the province. ''I think he started a little early. He is still too weak to travel to that ce,'' At one corner of that tavern, a masked old man in ck robes muttered to himself in a low voice before leaving that ce. ... In Ajax''s room, ''Uaau'' Ajax woke up from his sleep with an excited look on his face because there were two important events today. One, he had to go and meet with Keshe to ask her whether she found anything about the whereabouts of his friends or not. Two, the disciple-selection ceremony by the six vagrant cultivators. ''I should go and meet up with big sister Keshe as I still didn''t know how long the selection of? the vagrant cultivators will take,'' Ajax silently thought to meet Keshe first and came out of his bed to fresh up. ''Tap tap'' Just as he took two steps, someone tapped on his door. "Darbaudr,e in," He knew who it was and asked him toe in because he was the one who called him earlier toe to his room. "Give them to me," As soon as the barbarian came into the room, Ajax asked him to give something. "Here they are, young master," Darbaudr knew what he was talking about and took out two ck-coloured statues from his storage ring. They were none other than the assassin god''s statues which were picked up by the barbarian from the assassination circle. ''Let''s learn more about them,'' Taking the one-meter ck coloured statues into his hands, Ajax excited thought in his head as he used the system to know about them. ''Ding, Item name:- Assassin god''s statue (12th one) Type:-? Enchanted item. Owner:- None Effects:- As long as any dark elemental beings are sacrificed to it, it would give a temporary boost to the owner. Note:- 1) More powerful the beings are, the more boost the owner would get. 2) More the number of beings, the more boost the owner would get. More information:- In ancient time, a legendary assassin created 12 statues of himself and bestowed them different powers before leaving them to the other assassins of the Zrochester province. After that, he disappeared and no one knows where he went. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him disying theplete information about one of the statues. "Oh. So, this belonged to vice-chief," Thinking back to the time, when the vice-chief sacrificed all the assassins in the assassination circle to increase his cultivation from level 1 to level 5 elite general, Ajax shook his head before storing that statue into his inventory. Ajax didn''t have a tiny bit of interest in the items that require sacrifice to gain a temporary boost. So, he didn''t bother to im ownership of it. ''Next, you,'' After storing the first statue, he focused on the statue that belonged to the chief of the assassination circle. ''Ding, Item name:- Assassin god''s statue (11th one) Type:-? Enchanted item. Owner:- None Effect:- The owner has to store his essence of nature inside the statue and when he activates the statue''s power, the owner will transform into a ''Masked Draugr'' which excels in speed. Note:- 1) The more essence of nature stored inside the statue gives more speed to the owner. ''Huh? Masked Draugr?'' Looking at the holographic screen, Ajax raised his brows and tried to remember the creatures called Masked Draugr. ''That''s right! They are the undead creatures but from when did they excel in speed?'' Ajax heard about the ''Masked Draugr'' from the stories of Elder Boron; however, what he remembered was that these creatures were not very fast. ''Ding, The host is wrong about the ''Masked Draugr''s''. Common Draugr''s don''t have much speed; however the ''Masked Draugr''s'' are the mutated Draugrs that excel in speed. The system exined to him the difference between themon Draugrs and the Masked Draugrs. "Okay okay," Ajax nodded his head as he threw the second assassin statute into the inventory. As for bing the owner of the statue, it never crossed his mind. "Young master, Captain Edmond said that we have to leave tonight to the mercenary guild for the disciple selection ceremony," Just as he stored the second assassin god''s statue, the barbarian informed Ajax. "Oh. Nice nice," Ajax nodded his head as he felt it was the perfect timing for him and said ''Nice'' two times in a row. "If you want toe to the cursed wilderness with me, then stay here; otherwise, you can go back to your room and cultivate," Ajax said to Darbaudr who was standing still without saying anything. "It is very risky for you to go alone, young master. I will apany you," After the assassin attempt on Ajax two days ago, the barbarian didn''t want to take any risk by leaving Ajax''s side. So, he said with a serious look on his face. "Haha...okay then. I will go and fresh up," Soon, Ajax went to fresh up. "Lucas and Nis, we are going out," While Ajax was gone to freshen up, the barbarian walked towards the eagle brothers'' room and called them before informing them about the journey. "We are always ready to go out with the young master," Both the eagles were excited and readily agreed to a trip to the cursed wilderness, Chapter 639: Scroll from Elder Boron

Chapter 639: Scroll from Elder Boron

"Lucas, let''s go," Sitting on the brown eagle, Ajax ordered it to fly towards the cursed wilderness.. Along with them, Darbaudr was sitting on the back of Nis and followed behind Ajax while keeping an eye on his surroundings. Beforeing out of the residence building, Ajax informed Captain Edmond about his trip to the cursed wilderness. Of course, hiding the fact that he was going to the daughter of a spirit beast king. Since Darbaudr was going along with him, Edmond only said one thing and it was toe back before the sunset. ''Swoosh'' The two eagles continued to soar in the sky as they flew towards the cursed wilderness. ''Roar'' ''Screech'' Once they entered the cursed wilderness, they started to hear all kinds of spirit beast noises; however, they didn''t bother with them as they directly rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Ajax, here," Soon, he heard Keshe''s voice and asked the eagles tond on the ground. "Hello, Big sister Keshe," Ajax greeted her with a smile on his face. "You don''t believe what I find," She had an excited look on her face as he took out a scroll from her storage ring and gave it to him before saying, "In the depths of the cursed wilderness, there was a small house made up of wood. Inside I found this scroll." Keshepletely changed the facts and made Ajax believe what she said was the truth. "Huh? What this scroll has to do with my friends," Ajax looked at the golden scroll in his hands and asked Keshe with a puzzled look on his face. "Sigh" Hearing Ajax''s words, Keshe revealed a disappointed look as she exined, "Use your spirit sense to check out the scroll." She didn''t bother to exin much except for a single line and waited for Ajax to do what she had just said. ''Okay'' Ajax nodded his head and used his spirit sense to look at the scroll. ''What?'' He was shocked by what he saw on top of the scroll and in the next second, his shocked expression was reced with an exciting look. Because on the scroll, there was his name in bold letters. "Do you think it is from my friends?" The scroll was still closed. So, Ajax asked for a confirmation from Keshe before reading it. ''I don''t know. But my guess is, you might find out about your friends from the scroll. So, open it and read,'' Keshe shook her head and asked him to read it himself because she was unable to open it much less read it. Ajax nodded his head and opened the scroll like any other normal scroll and started reading it. ''What the hell? Is it that simple to open it?'' After receiving the scroll from Elder Boron, Keshe didn''t even try to open it fearing that there might be some secret trap or a curse ced on it. However, just when he was about to give it to Ajax, she tried to open it with her full strength but she was unable to open it. So, when she saw that Ajax opened it without using any techniques, she was shocked. As for Ajax, he didn''t notice the shock on Keshe''s face as he seriously said the scroll. ''Ajax, your friends are perfectly fine and I am taking care of them. So, you don''t need to worry about them. Just focus on what you are doing. We will meet you when the timees. Until then, increase your strength as much as possible - from Elder Boron.'' There were only a few lines on the scroll; however, it was enough for him to heave a sigh of relief. ''At least I can not be worried about my friends anymore. Since they are with Elder Boron, he will take care of them,'' Ajax silently thought in his head and looked at Keshe before saying, "Thank you big sister Keshe for your help." It was really a ''great help'' from Ajax''s point of view and hurriedly thanked her. "No no no," Keshe hurriedly said no with both her hands because she was benefited from helping Ajax. So, she felt there was no need for thanks from Ajax. "No. I have to give something in return," However, how could Ajax just take help from others and not repay them? He searched his inventory and found an item that was useful to Keshe and other spirit beasts around her. "I will no¡­," "These are called ''Advance essence pills'' that help the spirit beasts topletely heal when injured and at the same time it will also help the consumer in awakening their ancestral memories" Just when Keshe was about to reject Ajax''s gift, she felt an urge to consume the pill taken out by Ajax and immediately stopped her words and intently listened to Ajax''s words. ''Growl'' The dark lion king beside her also became agitated with the smell of the pill and growled in a low voice. "Here. These pills are very useful to you," Ajax knew how crazy the spirit beasts could be when it came to the ''Advanced essence pills''. So, he didn''t mind the actions of the dark lion king and gave the pills to Keshe. ''Brother Lucas, those pills are even better than the primitive stones?'' ''I know,'' ''Shall we ask for a pill too from the young master?'' ''Idiot, stop being greedy. As long as we work for him, he will not abandon us,'' ''But...'' ''Idiot. First,pletely use all the primitive stones andter other about other things,'' While Ajax was giving ''Advanced essence pills'' to Keshe, the eagle brothers were having a conversation where the little brother was convinced by his brother not to ask for those pills. "Are you sure you want to give me three of these pills?" Giving a single ''Advanced Essence pill'' was already a very good gift for her; however, when she saw Ajax was giving three of them, she asked him for confirmation. "Of course, I am sure. You don''t know how relieved I am now after learning about my friends," Ajax nodded his head as he exined how relieved he was now. Even though he strongly believed their friends were fine, there was always some doubt that they might have been killed by the spirit beasts in the cursed wilderness as they didn''t have any cultivation. However, he didn''t want to believe those doubts. Nevertheless, it continued to make him anxious but now he would not have any problems like that and entirely he could focus on taking revenge on the assassin sect. "Thanks for your valuable gift, Ajax. They will help us a lot," Keshe thanked Ajax because the pills were not somemon pills that could be avable everywhere. It was her first time seeing those pills. From this, one could understand how rare they were. "By the way, my father invited you to our home. Do you want toe?" After thanking him, Keshe recalled something and asked him. "Sorry, big sister Keshe. I am something important tonight and have to go back before sunset," Ajax shook his head as he apologized to Keshe that he was busy; however, he didn''t say anything about the disciple-selection ceremony to Keshe as it was supposed to be secret. Chapter 640: Forest Drake

Chapter 640: Forest Drake

"No problem. You cane where you are free," Keshe didn''t feel much about it and asked him toe when he was free. "Sure. I will take my leave now," Ajax nodded his head and decided to leave because he had another thing he had to do in the cursed wilderness. So, they didn''t talk much before parting ways. "Keshe, give me one pill...give me one pill," As soon as Ajax left the ce, the dark lion king which was suppressing its urge regarding the pill asked Keshe with an excited tone. "Wait for a second," However, Keshe didn''t give him the pills; instead, she kept them in a jade box before storing the box in her space ring. "What?" The dark lion king was shocked when he saw Keshe keeping all the pills in her storage ring. "Let me exin to you something," Soon, Keshe started exining the dark lion king, "We both already have the re-cultivation techniques. So, we should give those pills to others and if we are lucky, we will have more re-cultivated spirit beasts in our territory. Then even those spirit beasts also need toe to us begging for those re-cultivation techniques." Although Keshe didn''t know much about the ''Advance essence pills'', after Ajax''s exnation about the effects of the pills, she understood something. Since the consumer could awaken their ancestral memories then there were high chances that the spirit beasts could awaken the re-cultivation techniques from those ancestral memories. So, she decided to give it to others that were loyal to her father; instead of using those pills for themselves. "Now say, do you still want a pill? If you want, I can give it to you," After she finished her exnation, she asked him whether he still wanted the pill or not. "Growl" With a growl, the dark lion king shook his head and said, "I don''t want it. As long as we re-cultivate into a human form and cultivate back to our original cultivations, then we could go to that ce to find pills like these there." "Haha...that''s right! So, before that, we hope, any one of the three spirit beasts awakens a re-cultivation technique with the help of these pills. So, they can alsoe with us to that ce," Keshe patted the dark lion king''s head as sheughingly agreed to him. Soon, both of them went back to their home to inform their father about the pills. ... Somewhere in the middle section of the cursed wilderness, "Little white, do you sense your parents?" Two eagles were flying at a slow pace and behind one of the eagles, there was a barbarian whereas, on the other eagle, there was a young man and a little boy of around 10 years. The young man asked the little boy who was tightly holding him. "No, master," The little boy named white shook his head with a worried look on his face. They were none other than Ajax, Darbaudr and the two eagle brothers. As for the little boy behind Ajax, he was the re-cultivated baby snow lion. After recultivating into a human form, the baby snow lion took the form of a little boy that looked cute with white hair. Coupled with the white clothes that Ajax gave him, he was named White and Ajax called him ''Little white'' "Don''t worry. Nothing will happen to your parents. We are going to find them," Seeing the worried look on his face, Ajax consoled him as they continued their search for his parents, the snow lions. This was the other work he nned when he wasing to the cursed wilderness. Even though the baby snow lion was contracted to him, he still didn''t wish to separate him from his parents as he knew the pain of not having parents. So, he decided to find them. ''I don''t know who my parents are. So, I don''t feel much pain as I had some, good friends, to apany me all day in the past; however, you have parents who care for you,'' Ajax silently muttered in his head as he continued to search the entire middle section of the cursed wilderness. "I found them" All of a sudden, the little boy said as he pointed his finger to his right and said, "Although it is still vague, I can say that they are definitely in that direction." "Lucas, let''s go," As soon as he heard little white''s words, Ajax asked Lucas to go in that direction. ''sh'' ''Roar'' "Stop fighting and just give the location of your son. I will let your bodies intact after killing you," One the ground, a group of dragon-like spirit beasts surrounded the two snow lions and the leader of the group, who looked much stronger and bigger than the rest of the group said in a cruel tone. "You can kill us but you are not going to find my son ever again. He is in a safe ce where you can''t travel," The snow lion king roared at the leader of the spirit beasts as he fiercely replied. "Haha...don''t think I will kill you that soon," The leader pointed at the pile of his dead subordinates and said, "You both killed more than a dozen slender wyverns and you think I will just kill you?" "I swore to the heavens that if I, Dak, the forest drake not torture until you beg me to kill you, I will change my name," The leader of the group was a forest drake and he swore to change his name if he failed in his actions. "Darbaudr, take care of the so-called, Dak," As soon as Dak finished swearing to the heavens, a loud voice resounded from the above and hurriedly looked up. "You no need to change your name, my dear Dak as you will be eternally resting here," ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Within a few moments, Dak, the forest drake along with his slender wyverns, were massacred by Darbaudr. ''What?'' ''Why did they kill me?'' ''Who are they?'' ''I was going to be one of the kings in the inner circle of the cursed wilderness after finding that baby snow lion with the ''Snow Lion Emperor bloodline'','' Various thoughts continuously shed in the head of the forest drake as he had a confused look on his dragon-like face. He was still unable to believe that he was killed just like that. "Your speed is much faster than before, Darbaudr," Soon, Ajax and little whitended on the ground while Ajax praised the barbarian for his speed. "Not at all, young master. It is because of the inheritance sword you gave me," Darbaudr shook his head as he looked at the inheritance sword in his hand and replied to Ajax. "Still, your skill with the sword is much greater than many top sword cultivators in this province," Ajax said to Darbaudr before looking at the injured snow lions in the distance, "Here is your son. As I promised I am returning him to you." "Mother, father," As soon as hended on the ground, the little boy was a little shaky because of flying till now and the moment Ajax finished his words, he became normal and rushed towards his parents. Chapter 641: Become a King

Chapter 641: Be a King

"Son?" Both the snow lion king and snow lion queen were surprised to see their son in the human form and hurriedly came forward. Even though they mentally prepared to see their son in the human form, they were still surprised to see him. "I recultivate in the human form and now I can easily reach the rank 7," Little White rushed towards them and hugged his parents and excitedly said to them. "Haha...I know, my son is bound to reach rank 7 from the beginning," the father snow lion proudly said. "I don''t care how high his cultivation could reach. All I want to know is whether he is alright or feeling any difort with his current form?" However, the mother snow lion asked his son whether he was feeling ufortable with his human form. "No mother. I ampletely alright. Also, I want to be as strong as possible only then I could protect you from the other bad spirit beasts," Little white showed his fist and said it in a rather funny way. "Right! Why did youe here? Go away from here," "Yes. Go away," "Young master Ajax, please take our son with you and leave this ce," All of a sudden, both the snow lions became anxious as they urged Ajax to go away from here along with her son. "Why? Is there any danger? Please exin it," How could Ajax leave without knowing what was happening here? So, he asked them to exin it. "There is not much time. They mighte here at any moment," The father snow lion was anxious as he looked towards the direction of the inner section of the cursed wilderness and replied to Ajax. "Who wille?" Ajax also looked in the direction; however, he didn''t find anything or anyoneing from there. "Even if you want to leave, you can''t leave now," ''sh'' ''ng'' ''Boom'' All of a sudden, a silhouette rushed towards them and shed a long sword at Darbaudr. However, Darbaudr was very sensitive to his surroundings and he was able to block the sh with the inheritance sword in his hand. "Haha...not bad...not bad. You are too good with the sword unlike a regr Barbarian," The silhouette stopped at one ce before startedughing and praised Darbaudr for his block with the sword. Only after he stopped moving from one ce to another, Ajax and others were able to see who was the neer. It looked like a dragon-man; however, when Ajax carefully looked at him, he found out he was not a dragon-man; instead, he was a Wyvern man. Wyvern man is the variant among the wyverns, who will be born once in ten thousand years andpared to the normal wyverns, they were three times stronger. Moreover, as long as they consume pure dragon blood, they would eventually turn into a dragon-man along with his battle powers, skills andprehension. "So, it''s just a wyvern man?" Ajax noticed that Darbaudr looked calm even with the wyvern man. So, Ajax was not anxious and nodded his head at the wyvern man. "I am not a wyvern man. I am ''Golden wyvern king'' and my name is Gaimont," The wyvern man became angry when he heard Ajax''s words and introduced himself to them. "Oh. My name is Ajax and nice to meet you. So, what do you want?" Ajax introduced himself as he asked him what he wanted. "Good. As long as you move aside and keep quiet, I will below a wyvern skill and will make you my territory''s general," Gaimont felt that Ajax was not a normal human being. Moreover, he could say that the Darbaudr and the two regr eagles were the followers of him. So, he directly gave a general position in his territory. "Territory? Where is it? Normal territories will not interest me much," Ajax revealed a surprised look on his face as he asked Gaimont. ''Ding, A new mission has been generated in the quest tab. Please check it. Just as he asked the ''Golden wyvern king'', Ajax received a system notification in his head which gave him another surprise. "From the border between the middle section and the inner-section of the cursed wilderness, the next 100 kilometers radius is ruled by me. So, you are interested now, right?" Gaimont was very confident in his offer as he revealed a slight smile on his long wyvern face. ''Ding, Mission name:- Be a King. Details:- Use any possible method to conquer the territory of the ''Golden wyvern king''. More information:- The Golden wyvern king is the weakest king among the 12 spirit beast kings with only 100 kilometer radius territory. Tip:- The ''Golden wyvern king'' left a clone with 40 percent of his strength in his territory for guarding. So, his strength is only 60 percent. Reward:-?A special gift box and a two-minor realm energy orb. However, Ajax''s focus was on a halographic screen as he didn''t pay much attention to Gaimont. ''So, there are territories in the inner section of the cursed wilderness,'' Ajax was not surprised as he knew that spirit beasts like to create territories of their own; however, what surprised him was the 12 spirit beast king. ''''So, the inner-section of the cursed wilderness is ruled by these 12 spirit beasts kings and even humans are not willing to enter the inner section,'' Ajax continued to think in his head without paying any attention to the Wyvern king. ''But big sister Keshe said that Elder Boron''s scroll was inside the depths of the cursed wilderness. I wonder, how strong Elder Boron is,'' Ajax thought about Elder Boron, who was able to build a house to stay in the inner section of the cursed wilderness and unconsciously smiled. "Are you listening to me or not?" Gaimot sessfully became angry and shouted at Ajax which brought him back from spacing out into the thin air. "Yes..yes," Ajax nodded his head and said, "As long as you be my contracted spirit beast, I will spare you wyvern life." Ajax didn''t bother to waste time with words and directly came to the point. ''Brother, did you see how brave our young master is?'' ''Yes...yes. He even said he wanted to form a contract with one of the spirit beast kings from the inner section of the cursed wilderness,'' ''Now, what do you say? Following the young master is a good choice, right?'' After hearing Ajax''s words, the eagle brothers whispered to each other. The eagle "Hahaha" "What a big joke" "I haven''t heard a joke like this in ages," "Brat, I changed my mind. I will kill you and others before consuming that little boy''s blood and I will be a dragon man," ''Swoosh'' Gaimont startedughing when he heard Ajax''s words and continued to say one sentence after another before rushing towards him in an attempt to kill him. ''ng'' However, just when the longsword was about to touch Ajax, Darbaudr appeared in front of Ajax and stopped the attack with ease. "Haha" This time, it was Ajax who startedughing as he said, "Until now, many said that they wanted to kill me; however, all of them are resting for eternity." Although Ajax said in a low voice, that reverberated like thunder in the ears of others, Chapter 642: Golden Wyvern King agreed to form a contract?

Chapter 642: ''Golden Wyvern King'' agreed to form a contract?

"Maybe until now, you didn''t find a real opponent. Don''t worry, dying in my hands is also considered a great thing for you," Gaimont shook his head as he once again rushed forward; however, this time his target was Darbaudr. "Take this," Gaimont summoned another long sword simr to the one that was already in his hands and shed it at Darabudr. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, many sword waves of around three meters in length flew towards Darbaudr. "Don''t make meugh with this kind of moves," Darbaudr didn''t move from his ce as he created exactly the same number of swords waves and sent them towards the iing sword waves. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Whenever the sword waves collide with each other, a small explosion would be created making the surrounding spirit beasts to run away from that ce. "You are not bad...but it is not enough for you to win over me," After finishing his words, the Golden Wyvern king brought his two long swords closer and merged them before revealing a cruel smile on his face. "Now, let''s see whether you can stop the sword wave created from my ''Merged sword''," As soon as he finished his words, Gaimont released a huge sword wave of around 10 meters long at Ajax and others. ''Young master, I need some help,'' Darbaudr hurriedly positioned himself in front of Ajax and asked him to help him a little. While asking for help from Ajax, Darbaudr released hundreds of sword waves at the iing huge sword wave. ''Sure'' Ajax also didn''t take the huge sword wave lightly as he hurriedly summoned the ''Heaven''s destroyer and threw it at the huge sword wave using his level 2 spear dao. ''Huh? A legend grade weapon?'' ''No, it''s still in the heaven grade; however, it''s power matches to that of a low-level legend grade weapon,'' Seeing the ''Heaven''s destroyer'', Gaimont was shocked for a moment before bing excited and thinking. ''As long as I kill him, the spear will be mine. Moreover, I can wage war against other territories.'' All of a sudden, Gaimont felt that he was being helped by the heavens. He was not only getting the bloodline of a ''Snow Lion Emperor'' but he was also getting a weapon that was on par with a legend grade weapon. ''BOOM'' The heaven''s destroyer along with the hundred of sword waves from Darbaudr easily destroyed the huge sword wave. "You gave me a nice surprise, brat," Gaimont didn''t feel anything even when his huge sword wave was destroyed as heughed at Ajax. "I will give you more surprises if you be my contracted spirit beast. I can make you the king of entire cursed wilderness if you follow me on your own; however, you will lose all the benefits if I forcefully make you my contract spirit beast," Ajax was really surprised by the power of the Golden Wyvern King because he felt Darbaudr could take care of him as his current battle powers were only 60 percent. However, after seeing the simple sword wave from him, Ajax felt he had to be careful with the spirit beast and offered him as he didn''t want to use his trump cards. "Haha...brat, Didn''t I already told you to stop joking in front of me," Hearing Ajax''s words, Gaimontughed for a moment before saying to Ajax with a serious look on his face. "..." However, Ajax didn''t give any reply and looked at Gaimont with a calm expression on his face. "Fine then" All of a sudden, the spirit beast nodded his head and replied to Ajax for his earlier words, "As long as you say all the benefits you will give me along with the proof. I don''t mind bing a friend to you; however, you are obsessed with me bing your contracted spirit beast, then I will kill you." After carefully thinking Ajax''s words, Gainmont started his conditions. He didn''t mind bing friends with a young man who had the powerful bodyguard and a weapon as powerful as a low-level legend grade weapon if sufficient benefits were given to him. As for bing a contracted spirit beast, Gaimont directly said not to waste their time in convincing him. There was another reason why he didn''t want to fight them as he had to use all his trump cards and he would temporarily be weaker which was not a good thing. "Sigh" Hearing Gaimont''s words, Ajax heaved a huge sigh as he continued, "I will make you ''Golden Dragon King'' within a year as long as you be my contract spirit beast." Ajax didn''t want to waste time as he directly offered the greatest thing that any wyvern would yearn for. ''What?'' The Golden Wyvern King was shocked by Ajax''s words; however, he didn''t believe him and replied to Ajax, "Brat, don''t just speak nonsense." "If you don''t want to believe it, then don''t believe it. You are missing the biggest chance in your life. Just imagine, how your subordinates will see you when you be a true dragon?" Ajax started adding words that made Gaimont''s willpower weaken with each sentence that Ajax had said. "Fine, I will agree to be your contracted spirit beast. But¡­.," "Within exactly a year, I will make you a pure dragon and I am swearing on the heavens. If I fail to make you a pure dragon, I will break the contract on my own and receive theplete bacsh on my own, Before Gaimont could finish his sentence, Ajax swore to the heaven and the sky above them rumbled with his swear that made Gaimont believe his words. Moreover, Ajax added that he would take theplete bacsh thates after breaking a spirit contract to make it look more impactful. "Can you let them go now?" Ajax pointed at the snow lions and asked Gaimont. "Since you already swore to the heavens in making me a pure dragon, why do I want him? Even if I consume his entire blood, there is only a 10 percent chance of bing a pure dragon," All of a sudden, the ''Golden Wyvern King'' acted like he didn''t care about the snow lions and walked towards them with a nonchnt expression on his face. ''Darbaudr, be careful,'' Ajax didn''t ce his spirit imprint in the spirit consciousness of the Golden wyvern king. So, he asked the barbarian to be careful as he still didn''t know whether he could trust Gaimont''s words or not. "What are you waiting for? ce your spirit imprint and help me be a pure dragon. I want to see how you will do that," Aftering near Ajax, Gaimont asked him to ce his spirit imprint. "Okay" Ajax nodded his head and looked at the barbarian for a second before cing his hand on the Golden Wyvern King''s chest and entered into his spirit consciousness. ''Huh? Is this his spirit consciousness?'' Ajax was shocked to see such a huge spirit consciousness in his life and searched for a spot to ce his spirit imprint. ''Here'' Soon, he flew to a spot to ce his spirit imprint. ''Aargh'' Just when he was about to ce a spirit imprint, he felt a piercing pain in his head as Ajax''s real fell to the ground while revealing a groan. Chapter 643: Gaimonts past

Chapter 643: Gaimont''s past

"What did you do to him?" The moment he saw that Ajax was in pain, the barbarian immediately put the inheritance sword in his hand across Gaimont''s neck and asked in a serious tone. "I am just checking whether he is worthy enough to form a contract with him. If you kill him, he will die along with me. So, you can remove your sword from my neck," There was not even a shred of fear on Gaimont''s face even when Darbaudr ced his sword across his neck as he simply asked him to lower his weapon. "No, only when my young master opens his eyes, I will lower my weapon," Darbaudr slightly pressed the sword as it slowly cut the small scales on the neck of Gaimont and held the sword in that ce and he was ready to cut the head if something went wrong. "As you wish," Gaimont didn''t bother with Darbaudr''s actions as he closed his eyes and entered his spirit consciousness. The moment he entered his spirit consciousness, Gaimont saw that Ajax already ced his spirit imprint on the wall of the spirit consciousness. However, currently, Ajax was holding his head as he floated in Gaimont''s spirit consciousness. ''Search'' Gaimont didn''t waste any time as he flew towards Ajax''s spirit consciousness form and ced his hand on his head. ''Aargh'' This time, it was Gaimont''s real body that groaned in pain that made Darbaudr and others surprised. Time flew by and soon, an hour passed by, Inside Gaimont''s spirit consciousness, ''Huh? How can this be? Why didn''t I get hisplete memories,'' Gaimont, in his spirit consciousness form, opened his eyes and revealed a shocked look on his face when he looked at Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. "What happened? Why do you look so shocked," By now, Ajax also opened his eyes and he didn''t feel any pain. After opening his eyes, he asked the shocked Gaimont. "Even though I used a technique to see each others'' memories, I am still unable to remember yourplete memories. As though something stopped me from learning more about you," Now, Gaimont was officially Ajax''s contracted spirit beast. So, he maintained a respectful tone while he asked Ajax''s question. "Haha...but Ipletely learned about you," Ajaxughed as he said to Gainmont before saying, "Shall we go out? Others might be worrying about us." Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly how much time had passed by, he knew one thing for sure and it was that it''s been more than usual time for forming a contract with a beast. Moreover, after seeing the memories of Gaimont, Ajax felt that everyone had their own reasons and situations to be what they were. That''s right! Both Ajax and Gaimont exchanged their memories with the help of Gaimont''s secret technique; however, the system was much more powerful than any secret technique and it easily stopped Gaimont from seeing Ajax''splete memories. ''Despite the continuous mocking for being a wyvern from the other beasts, he has sessfully cultivated to a high realm and gained a territory with his sheer hard work,'' Ajax was impressed by Gaimont''s endurance towards the insult from the other spirit beasts. Generally, a wyvern was seen as nothing more than an evolved snake. Despite the fact, he became powerful, he was always ridiculed behind his back that continuously annoyed him. So, that''s why he wanted to try every method possible to be a pure dragon. "Master, are you alright?" As soon as they came out of the spirit consciousness, Darbaudr asked Ajax whether he was alright or not. "I am fine. Completely fine," Ajax nodded his head and said to Darbaudr with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission ''Be the King''. ''Ding, A special reward box has been sent to the host''s inventory. Please check. ''Ding, A two-minor realm energy orb is sent to the host''s spirit consciousness. Soon, the much-awaited system notification rang in his head that made him heave a sigh of relief. "Since the conflict, it is peacefully resolved. Everyone can go back to your works," Ajax was not in a hurry to check the special gift box in front of everyone as he asked the Snow lions to go back to their home. "Young master, our home¡­.it is destroyed by his subordinates," Snow Lion King hesitated for a moment and pointing his paw at Gaimont, he replied to Ajax. ''...'' Gaimont had ck lines on his wyvern face as he looked at the Snow lion king. "It''s all in the past. If you don''t mind, you can live in his territory aspensation of what he did to you. He will take care of you," Ajax thought for a moment before saying to the snow lions and looked at Gaimont, "Isn''t that right, Gaimont?" "Sure" Gaimont had no problem with that as his territory had fewer spirit beasts anyway. "Young master..." Both the big snow lions were a little hesitant to stay in Gaimont''s territory as they looked at Ajax and indirectly said they could not. "Don''t worry. He will not harm you in any way. Moreover, you can''t find a new peaceful ce in a short time. So, just stay in his territory and re-cultivate into humans using your son''s re-cultivation technique," Ajax''s words convince them to nod their heads. As long as they were of the same species, the spirit beasts could use the same re-cultivation technique and be a re-cultivated spirit beast. Since the baby snow lion king had sessfully re-cultivated, he could share the cultivation technique with his parents. "Good" Ajax nodded his head at the snow lions and then looked at Gaimont before saying, "Go back to your territory, I wille to your territory after a couple of days." Currently, he didn''t have the time to check Gaimont''s territory as he needed to go back to the squad building. So, he asked Gaimont to go back. "Okay," Gaimont nodded his head and along with the snow lions, he went back to his territory without saying more than a single word. He didn''t ask Ajax when he would help him be a pure dragon or anything. ''Did I just form a contract with one of 12 spirit beast kings that rule the inner section of the cursed wilderness?'' Seeing the silhouette of Gaimont, Ajax was still unable to believe whether it was real or not as he muttered to himself. He already felt that by having Darbaudr at his side, he could feel from any unexpected assassinations; however, now his head was a contracted spirit beast that was more powerful than him. ''Looks like, my chances of destroying the assassin sect has just increased by a huge margin,'' Ajax felt excited and he thought, ''I think, I don''t even need a year to destroy it.'' He felt that as long as he nurtured the spirit beasts in Gaimont''s territory, he could easily win against the assassin sect. ''Moreover, if other powers try to help the assassin sect, I will destroy them along with it,'' Ajax was excited for the time to pass because he wanted to destroy the assassin sect as soon as possible. ''Let''s go'' Soon, he mounted the brown eagle and started flying back to the squad building. Chapter 644: Battle Beasts

Chapter 644: Battle Beasts

''System, open the special gift box from the earlier mission,'' While they were flying in the air, Ajax silently asked the system in his mind. ''Ding, A special gift box is opened. ''Ding, A special cultivation technique:- ''Battle beasts formation'' is found in the special gift box. Soon, the system opened the special gift box and informed the item in the box. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows as he silently muttered the cultivation technique name and a red-coloured crystal appeared in his hands. Without wasting any time, Ajax checked its full details. ''Ding, Item name:- Cultivation technique crystal (Battle beasts formation) Usage:- Please a crystal in a specific ce and the beast cultivated in it will turn into battle beasts. Note:- 1) Any spirit beast with a bloodline will not be able to cultivate it. Description:- A valuable item that can increase the battle prowess of the spirit beasts without bloodline and will make them on par with the spirit breasts with the bloodline. "Holy heavens," After reading theplete information of the crystal in his hands, Ajax felt it was a great item. ''With this, I can have an army of the battle beasts...Haha,'' Ajax startedughing as he muttered to himself and looked forward to an army of the beast formation. Finding a spirit beast with a bloodline is very difficult; however, to find a spirit beast without a bloodline is very easy. Without any search, Ajax already had two spirit beasts without any bloodline and they were the eagle brothers. However, he didn''t have any thoughts of making them battle beasts as they still have the chance of awakening a bloodline. ''I will try using this after this disciple-selection thing is over,'' He didn''t want to be hasty in these kinds of things as he wanted to thoroughly think about selecting some spirit beasts to use. Currently, he doesn''t have any time. So, he didn''t waste his time searching for other spirit beasts before keeping the crystal back into his inventory. ''Young master, while I was with Captain Edmond and Udo, they talked about some things in voice transmission. I?think you should know about it. As it might be useful to you,'' While they were flying back to the squad building, Darbaudr silently transmitted his voice to Ajax. ''Huh? If it is useful, say it,'' Ajax raised his brows as he asked him to say it. As Darbaudr had a very high affinity with space element, he could hear the voice transmission if he was close to the persons who were using the voice transmission. Ajax already know it; however, he didn''t ask him to spy on Captain Edmond or anyone else. But, since it might be useful to him, Ajax didn''t mind learning it. ''Captain Edmond and Udo were nning to destroy two of the three sects. I highly think they were fire sword sect and assassin set,'' Soon, the barbarian revealed what he learned from their voice transmission. ''What? They are nning to destroy two powerful sects?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard Darbaudr'' words and hurriedly asked, ''why do they want to do it?'' There must be a reason for everything. So, he asked whether the barbarian knows about it or not. "I think it is rted to his family or something like that. I am not sure," Darbaudr was unable to understand theirplete sentence as it was not a direct talk between Edmond and Udo. So, there were still many missing sentences that made him unable to know the exact reason for their motive. ''Okay, leave it. When are they going to attack the sects? If they help me with the assassin sect, I can help them with fire sword sect,'' Ajax finally decided to join them as they were going to destroy the fire sword sect anyway. ording to Ajax, Captain Edmond was much more powerful than he looks. The most important thing is he is a summoner with an unknown number of elements, no one knows how strong they were. So, if Edmond and Ajax were to attack the assassin sect, no one could stop them. ''They didn''t have any time as they have some more things to take care of like Udo is still in the general realm and the nine adopted children of Edmond are yet to break through to the general realm,'' Darbaudr shook his head as he gave a couple of reasons why Captain Edmond still didn''t start their n. ''It''s just a small thing,'' After hearing his words, Ajax revealed a small smile on his face as?he continued to silently transmit his voice to the barbarian, ''So, how about I fasten the things for their n.'' Ajax decided to help them speed up their n. So, that he could also join them in destroying the assassin sect. Even though he could wait for a couple of years and be stronger before taking revenge on the assassin sect on his own, he didn''t want to do that. All he wanted was to destroy the assassin sect as soon as possible. So, all the burden in his heart would go away along with the sect. ''As you wish, young master,'' Darbaudr knew his young master had many mysterious items in his possession and ording to him, Ajax could do the impossible possible. ''Hehe...'' Ajax revealed a smile as he thought, ''Finally, I can start focusing on the mission.'' ..... In the Hazegroove squad building, "Is everyone ready?" Edmond''s voice resounded in the entire building that made all the young men living in the building immediately rush out of their rooms. "Yes, Captain Edmond. We are ready," As soon as they came out of their room, they replied with serious looks on their faces. "Good. Let''s go now," Edmond nodded his head as he headed out of the building along with Udo without turning back his head. Behind him, all the young men hurriedly followed them. It was a huge event for them to participate in the ''disciple selection ceremony'' conducted by the ''Six vagrant cultivators''. So, of course, they were serious about it and didn''t bother Edmond and Udo with many questions as they silently followed behind them. ''Where is Ajax?'' ''Is he still sleeping?'' ''Someone inform Captain Edmond that he is not here,'' ''Why don''t you say it?'' Aftering out of the building, they noticed that Ajax was not in the group and whispered to themselves. ''Stop worrying about my young master. He will meet us at the mercenary guild,'' While all the young men were whispering to one another, Justice, the ex-assassin sect disciple replied to them in a low tone that made them stop whispering with each other. "Everyone, where are we going?" Just when they were about to cross the gate, Edmond stopped and turned back before asking the young men behind him. "We are going to take some missions from the mercenary guild," All the young men, including Levi, Justice and his brother said at the same time with faces full of seriousness. "Good" After hearing that, Edmond revealed a smile and started walking towards the mercenary guild. Behind him, all the young men were also resumed their walking as they were praying heavens that everything would go well for them and get selected as the disciples under ''Six vagrant cultivators . Chapter 645: Magical Essence Absorbing Tree

Chapter 645: Magical Essence Absorbing Tree

Edmond wanted to create an impression that he and all the young men behind him were going to the mercenary guild to pick some missions to train these young men. The Guild Master had already said that only after the disciples were selected, they would be announced to the entire province until then it had to remain silent. ''Udo, did you ask them toe without making much attention, right?'' While they were moving Edmond asked Udo about someone. ''Yeah. All nine of your children will join us at the mercenary guild and at the same time I ask them toe in groups of two or three,'' Udo nodded his head and replied to Edmond. For some reason, Edmond didn''t want others to know about his adopted children yet. So, he made theme like normal mercenariesing for some missions from the mercenary guild. Soon, they reached the mercenary guild which was almost empty as many of the mercenaries were still recovering from their injuries they got in the battle with the demon army. "Hello, Captain Edmond, you arete," Just as they entered, Captain Edmond and others heard a familiar voice from inside the mercenary guild. "Ajax, you are already here. Good. Let''s go and meet the guild master," Edmond didn''t waste time by talking about other things as he directly moved to meet the guild master. He was none other than Ajax, who came just a few moments earlier than Edmond and others. Behind him, the barbarian stood like a statue without any expression on his face. As for the two eagle brothers, they didn''t turn into human form as they were resting on a huge tree in front of the mercenary guild. "Hello, guild master," The moment they met the guild master, everyone greeted him with a polite expression on their faces. "You brought everyone?" The guild master was missing some of the faces amongst the young men. So, he asked Edmond about it. "No everyone but my adopted children wille here at any moment," Edmond exined that he didn''t want others to know about their existence yet. "Okay. Let''s wait here. The other five vagrant cultivators will being here soon," The guild master asked them to wait in the hall as it was the only hall that was big enough for all the people. "Yes, guild master," Everyone sat in the chairs and started talking about something to pass their boredom. "Father," Soon, Edmond''s adopted children starteding one by one from the outside and joined them. "Looks like everyone is eager for the disciple selection ceremony...Good," "Shall we go?" Soon, the other five vagrant cultivators came to the meeting room and asked them. "Yes, sir," Everyone nodded their heads with excited looks on their faces. "The test begins now" All of a sudden, the environment turned serious as ''The Eternal Nurturer'', Ramon said in a low but strong voice. While saying that, he threw a bunch of papers at the young men and young women. "There is one unique region in the maps I just tossed at you. As long you reach the position within ten hours, you will be qualified for the next round," After tossing the maps, Ramon said their task for the first round. "And the time starts now," Just as he finished his words, an illusionary sand watch appeared beside Ramon which he turned upside down. ''What?'' ''Round 1 has already started?'' ''Damn it...why are there no signs of other ces?'' ''How can we find it without proper signs?'' ''Is this even called a map? There is just a single red dot in it,'' When they heard Ramon''s words, they hurriedly picked up the maps to see where they should reach in one hour; however, except for one red dot on the so-called map, there were no drawings or signs on it making all the youngsters confused. ''Ding, Item name:- Magic map Information:- Stores the location of a particr ce in it; however, it will not be seen to the normal eye. One needs to transfer the essence of nature into the map to make the drawings and signs to appear on it. More information:- It is made up of the bark of a magical essence absorbing tree. ''It''s just like I guessed,'' Ajax was not surprised by the system notification as he had already guessed how to see the drawings and signs; however, something else surprised him. ''Does, Elder Ramon have a magical essence absorbing tree or what?'' Generally, the magical essence absorbing tree was not very valuable; however, it was very rare to be found. So, when he saw that Ramon threw a bunch of papers made from the bark of the magical essence absorbing tree, he was shocked a little. ''Nevertheless, I willplete this round. Captain Edmond said these old dudes are very rich. I will see how rich are they,'' Ajax wanted to be the disciple of these vagrant cultivators only to see how rich were they and if they have any middle-grade upgrade stone or sess stones with them, then he could upgrade the ''Seal breakingpass'' and then release one of thest two seals in Darbaudr'' spirit consciousness. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he started transferring his universal essence of nature into the map. ''Huh? So, it is like that,'' Everyone noticed Ajax''s way of finding the drawings on the map and everyone started doing the same. ''Good,'' Except for the guild master, the other five vagrant cultivators were surprised by Ajax''s quickness and nodded their heads at him and at the same time remembered his face. "I am going now. See ya," Ajax was very fast in transmitting the essence of nature and moreover, his essence of nature was much purer than others. So, the drawings appeared very soon and he rushed out of the mercenary guild. ''Damn it...I poured more than 50 percent of my essence of nature and the map only revealed a little more than 50 percent. At this rate, my spirit consciousness?will be empty,'' ''Me too. After filling the map with my essence of nature, I will be having less than 10 percent in my spirit consciousness,'' ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ All the youngsters except for Levi, Justice every oneined about their essence of nature. Levi was not from this province. So, of course, he would have much pure essence of nature in his spirit consciousnesspared with the young men and young women from the Zrochester province. As for justice, his cultivation waspletely different from the regr cultivators and he had to kill bad people to increase his cultivation. So, both of them were able to finish much sooner than others. ''I am also going'' Soon, Levi and Justice also ran away as their map hadplete drawings now. However, before leaving the mercenary guild, Justice looked at his brother, who didn''t even have 30 percent of his map filled, he sighed and advised him, ''It is okay, little brother. Just don''t give up and do like you always do to finish the task till the end.'' He just encouraged his brother as he knew how stubborn his little brother was when it came to some things. Soon, he followed behind Levi till some distance, then he separated as the red dot in the map was at another ce. Chapter 646: Barrier before destination

Chapter 646: Barrier before destination

''Who is he?'' ''He is much faster than I think,'' ''His essence of nature must be pure; however, how is it possible?'' ''Maybe, I need to take him as my disciple to pass by legacy to him,'' ''Also, the two young men after that forest young men also good,'' The five vagrant cultivators looked at Ajax and almost decided to take him as their disciples just based on his essence of nature and kept an eye on Justice and Levi. ''Not bad...you have an eye for talent, Edmond,'' As for the guild master, he praised Edmond because ording to him, all the young men were found by him. So, of course, all the credit goes to him. ''...'' However, Edmond was speechless at the guild master''s words as he only found Ajax and as for Justice and Levi, it was Ajax who found them. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything as he looked at his adopted children and others. ''Finally, my map ispleted,'' ''I can go now,'' ''I will reach my destination faster than you,'' After some time, Paulin was able to finish his map and following him, Edmond''s nine adopted children were able to finish their own maps before rushing out of the mercenary guild. ''Huh? Why didn''t Ajax use his mounts?'' When Paulin was outside the mercenary guild, he noticed the two eagles which Ajax had recently tamed and thought in his head. ''Because using mounts is against the rules in this round,'' He heard Ramon''s voice beside his ears and hurriedly turned to see him; however, there was no one beside him that gave him quite a shock. ''I need to be their disciple at any cost. Only then I could help Captain Edmond and take revenge against those that harmed my family,'' After seeing how powerful the six vagrant cultivators, his desire to be their disciple had intensified and increased his speed to reach the destination. Inside the main hall of the?mercenary guild, ''Not bad, all the young men and young women left till now are on par with the?elite disciples of the sects,'' ''Looks like we already got most of the disciples selected; however, we need to use more tests to know whether these disciples are good not,'' Finally, in the main hall, Lewis, Jeff and Neil were the only ones that were left behind. However, the six vagrant cultivators didn''t leave those three as they wanted to conduct more tests separately for their sake. ''Let''s see where they could enter that ce or not first,'' However, the guild master replied to them as though he asked them to wait until they finished the round. In the cursed wilderness, "Here is the location," Ajax was able to find the location very easily as he came to the cursed wilderness many times and along with the dimensional map that could project the entire Zorchester province on it. "But there is some barrier that is stopped me from entering it," Ajax touched the invisible barrier and muttered to himself. ''Demon hand'' Without wasting any time, he used the demon hand to destroy the barrier. ''Boom'' However, the moment his hand touched the barrier, he was sted away a couple of meters that gave him quite a shock. "Huh? You are that strong? Let me show another attack," ''Wait a second. They must be watching. Sigh...I can''t use Heaven''s destroyer spear to destroy it,'' Ajax thought to use the bloodlust spear and activate Heaven''s destroyer spear to destroy the barrier. However, he instantly rejected that idea as he thought that the six vagrant cultivators must be watching all the disciples. ''Hmm¡­.what should I do now?'' Soon, Ajax fell into his thoughts as he started thinking about how to destroy the break and reach his destination. He didn''t need to try using all his skills as he knew that the barrier would just reverse that attack on him and only cultivators above peak general realm could destroy it with their special skills or techniques. ''Wait a second. Why am I thinking of destroying it with brute force? Among all those who are participating in the selection today, I will be the third strongest one. So, if I can''t break it with the brute force, then no one will be able to destroy it,'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of a simple logic that made him think of other ways of destroying the barrier without using brute strength. Among all those who were participating in the event, Ajax was third in terms of pure strength. Levi takes the first ce whereas the second ce goes to Paulin as their cultivation was level 2 elite general realm and level 1 general realm respectively. ''Moreover, after using all the essence of nature in their spirit consciousness, it is almost impossible to use any techniques and all of them will be tired after crazily running towards their destinations. No one was able to think clearly with their tired bodies. So, as long as I think carefully, I can find it,'' Ajax felt he was getting closer to finding a way to enter his destination and became excited as he thought of a possibility. ''Think clearly and observe properly,'' Ajax muttered those words as he started observing the barrier for something unusual; however, he was unable to find anything. ''If there is?nothing on the barrier then it must be closer to the barrier,'' Soon, he started walking backwards as he was trying to find something that might be useful for him to destroy the barrier. ..... While Ajax was trying to find a way to cross the barrier, Lewis and Jeff were also finishedpleting their maps and looked at the magical sand watch hovering beside Ramon. ''There is still around 8 more hours to finish the task,'' They heaved a sigh of relief as they looked at Neil, who was still trying toplete the map and left the ce. ''The only one left,'' All the six vagrant cultivators, Edmond and Udo looked at the single young man who was still unable to finish off his map. ''At this rate, he is not going toplete the first round,'' They discussed it with one another as he decided to do something. "Young man, you are disqualified. You can go home or rest aside," The guild master walked towards him and asked him to stop transferring the essence of nature into the map. "Huh? Why? What happened, guild master?" Neil hurriedly asked the guild master about what he did wrong that he got disqualified. "There is nothing wrong you did; however, you are not going to finish this round and you can''t evenpete for the other round which will be even more difficult for you," The guild master shook his head as he replied the reason for asking him to sit aside. ''Phew'' Hearing that Neil heaved a sigh of relief before saying, "No problem, guild master. I will try my best as I still have 8 more hours to finish the round." "It''s just a waste of time. Moreover, your spirit consciousness is already empty. Did you check it?" The guild master raised his brows as he asked the young men wondering why he was being adamant aboutpleting the task even though he was very clear that he would fail. Chapter 647: Neils stubborness

Chapter 647: Neil''s stubborness

"There are still eight more hours. So, I might as well try it," Neil''s words were simple as he stopped transferring the essence of nature into the map and sat crossed-legged before absorbing the essence of nature into his spirit consciousness. ''Interesting'' Not only the guild master, but everyone nodded their heads at Neil and allowed him to do what he wanted to do. ''As long as he fills the map, I might make an exception and pass him to round 2,'' Ramon silently said to the other vagrant cultivators about Neil. ''We are going to conduct the trials in your ce. So, we will let you do as you wish,'' No one said ''no'' to Ramon and agreed to let him do what he wanted to do. ...¡­ In the outer section of the cursed wilderness, "Found it," Finally, after searching for some time, Ajax found something unusual somewhere near the barrier. ''It seems like a rune,'' Ajax carefully observed it as he thought in his head. The rune on the ground had a circle in the centre with various arrows pointing at it and there were some other symbols surrounding the circle. Overall, Ajax could say that someone must have drawn it recently and he concluded that it was one of the vagrant cultivators. ''Should I just pour my essence of nature into it to open the barrier?'' Ajax felt that ''round 1'' would not be that hard and it would be simple; however, if they could not think properly, they would fail for something easy. Moreover, thinking about the process of getting drawings on the map, Ajax felt he should try it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he ced his hand on the circle of the rune drawing on the ground and sent the essence of nature into it. ''I hope, I am right,'' Ajax looked at the barrier while he transferred the essence of nature into the rune; however, there was no change in the barrier. ''Am I wrong?'' Ajax felt what he was doing was not the correct method to open the barrier. ''Kacha'' Just when he was about to stop pouring the essence of nature into the rune, he heard a crisp sound and at the same time cracks started appearing on it. ''Phew...I was not wrong,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he saw the barrier was getting cracks all over it. ''Shatter'' All of a sudden, it shattered and Ajax stopped pouring his essence of nature into the rune and walked to the position which was marked as ''X'' on the ground. It was the location that was marked as a red dot on his map. ''Finally, I reached my destination. How should I tell him that I havepleted round 1?'' Ajax thought inside his head as he looked at his surroundings. ''Swoosh'' While he was thinking in his head, he suddenly disappeared from the position. Along with him, the ''X'' symbol on the ground also disappeared and if someone sees that ce, they would not find anything there. ..... While Ajax disappeared after reaching the destination, the other participants in the event reached their own destinations in various parts of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Finally, I just need to pour the essence of nature into the rune and I think, the barrier will disappear,'' Levi and Paulin were able to find out the condition after whatever Ajax had tried and finally came to a conclusion to try the idea of pouring the essence of nature. As for others, they just reached the destinations that were blocked by the barrier and started to try their own methods to find a way to the destination. .... Inside the mercenary guild, ''Finally, one fellow,'' The moment, Ajax disappeared from his ce after reaching the destination, Ramon informed others about it. ''Nice,'' Everyone including Edmond and Udo nodded their heads after hearing his words. ''Looks like another two might enter soon and as for the others it is impossible to enter,'' Ramon continued to give him the details of round 1 regarding the progress of the participants to the others beside him. ''Aren''t we nning to take everyone to your secret realm? What is the need of this round anyway?'' The veiled matriarch, Sandra still didn''t understand the point of this ''round 1'' because it was not in their n till this morning and all of a sudden, Ramon suggested it and others nodded their heads fearing that he would ept to conduct their trials in his secret realm. So, when she heard Ramon''s words, she shook her head and asked him about it. ''Haha'' Hearing her words, Ramonughed a little as he said, ''I just wanted to get a rough idea of the capacity of their spirit consciousness and quality of their essence of nature.'' ''Moreover, the barrier will be automatically opened just before five minutes of the 10 hours time which was given toplete round 1. ''Sigh'' Hearing that, Sandra sighed and looked at Neil before saying to Ramon, ''So, who is he going toe here? Are we going to bring him with us?'' Since they already nned to bring all the young men and women that Edmond brought with him, they could not just leave Neil behind. Moreover, everyone left to the destination and since the barrier would be opened at the end of the trial time, then everyone could enter; however, Neil has yet to finish his map. Neil was just a cultivator in the earlymander realm. So, of course, his spirit consciousness''s capacity would be less. Moreover, he was not as talented as any of the nine adopted children of Edmond much less to Ajax. ''Haha...leave him to me. I like his stubbornness. Maybe I will take him as my disciple as long as hepletes any one or two trials in my secret realm,'' Ramon revealed augh as he replied to Sandra and others. ''I know why you want to take him as your disciple,'' The Soul handler, Elek, scoffed at Ramon as he continued, ''because he was just like you and even more foolish and stubborn than you.'' ''Damn you...do you want to start a fight with me?'' Ramon became angry as he asked Elek in the voice transmission. No matter how much he was angered, Ramon used only voice transmission tomunicate with others as he didn''t want to show his temper in front of his possible future disciple. ''Sure...do you want to have a go with me. I am always ready,'' Elek replied with a slight smile on his face as he replied to him. ''You two stop fighting. You are not kids anymore and have the grandchildren of his age already,'' Sandra stopped them while pointing at Neil, she said they have grandchildren of his age. ''Huh? Where is he?'' All of a sudden, they were unable to find Niel in the main hall and hurriedly closed their eyes and found him. ''He is still trying toplete the trial,'' ''It will take more than 2 hours for him to reach the cursed wilderness with his speed. So, why he bothering to try it anyway,'' All the vagrant cultivators were puzzled and annoyed by Neil''s foolishness except for Ramon, who was revealing a smile at their thoughts. Chapter 648: Secret Realm

Chapter 648: Secret Realm

Everyone shook their heads at Neil''s stubbornness; however, they weren''t bothered by it. "Shall we start moving?" One of the vagrant cultivators asked Ramon. "Sure. Let''s go," Ramon nodded his head and soon everyone present in the main hall started moving towards the cursed wilderness. ¡­.. For a normal level 1mander realm cultivator it takes more than 2 hours to reach the cursed wilderness from the mercenary guild. So, all of them felt Neil was wasting his time. Moreover, his spirit consciousness was almost empty and he could not use any movement cultivation technique to reach there in time. ''I have to give my best,'' There was a reason why he was stubborn and it was because of his brother. When they were young, someone picked a fight with him and his brother came to his rescue despite the fact that his big brother was much weaker than the opposite party, he didn''t give up and killed him. After that event, his brother was selected by an elder as his disciple and they started staying in the assassin sect. ''My brother won the fight because he gave his best in the fight. So, I will do that same,'' It created a great impact on him and from that day onwards he was stubborn when ites to challenges or tasks. .... Somewhere in an endless space, ''Where am I?'' Both Levi and Paulin appeared into an endless space at the same time and after looking at their surroundings they muttered to themself. Along with them, there was another person who didn''t talk anything and walked in a specific direction. ''Oh, Brother Levi,'' ''Brother Paulin'' The next second, they were surprised to see each other and immediately called out their names. "Brother Levi, Brother Paulin," Before they could speak another sentence, they heard a familiar voice from a distance. "Ajax?" The voice belonged to none other than Ajax who came way earlier than them into this endless space. "Yes, it''s me." Ajax smilingly replied to them as he came near to them. Behind him, Justice was standing like an obedient follower without taking anything. He was the third person that came along with Levi and Paulin; however, he sensed Ajax and moved towards him before informing him about Levi and Paulin. "What is this ce?" Since Ajax came before them, they thought Ajax must know something about it. So, they asked him about it. "I don''t know," However, Ajax shook his head as he was also clueless about this location. "But, ording to the note there, we are supposed to wait here for the six vagrant cultivators toe," Ajax pointed his finger at a small board in the distance and said to them. "Oh. So, let''s wait then," Levi nodded his head as he was excited to see what these ''Six vagrant cultivators'' were capable of doing. ording to what he learned, the Zrochester province was just a lowly province, where people could not break through to the king realm. So, he was curious about these powerful old men. As for Paulin and Ajax, they were also excited about the next rounds. Soon thest hours in round 1 had passed and at the same time, the sun also started rising. ''I can see the cursed wilderness,'' Neil was still unable to enter the cursed wilderness; however, the moment he saw the cursed wilderness, he was excited and unconscious, his speed increased. ''My destination is very close to the entrance of the cursed wilderness. I think I have a few more minutes, I can do it,'' Clenching his fists, he continued to run towards his destination. ''Finally, I can see my destination,'' After entering the cursed wilderness, he soon found his destination marked on the map. However, just when he was only a few meters away from his destination, he could see that the?''X'' mark on the ground disappeared. ''Aargh'' When he saw that, Neil shouted to the sky at the top of his lungs for a few moments and became silent after that. There was no sad or depressed look on his face as he remained calm and looked at his surroundings for a moment, before going out of the cursed wilderness. "Where are you going? Don''t you want to try other rounds?" Just as he exited the cursed wilderness, he heard Ramon''s voice from the above. ''H..he i..is f...flying,'' Neil was shocked to see Ramon flying in the sky without any help. "I asked you something," Ramon increased his tone as he said to Neil. "Yes, sir. I want to give it a try," After hearing Ramon''s condensed voice, he hurriedly suppressed his shock and with a nod, he gave a reply to Ramon. "Good. Come with me," After saying that, Ramon started flying toward the earlier location where Neil wasing from. Even though Ramon said that he basically didn''t bother to look back at Neil because Neil was also flying along with him. ''I am flying...I am flying,'' Neil was excited as he enjoyed the feeling of flying without a flying mount. ...¡­. Inside the endless space, ''Swoosh'' While Ajax, Levi and Paulin were waiting for the six vagrant cultivators, they saw many familiar young cultivators start to appear in the endless space. "Looks like all areing here," Ajax and others were excited and hurriedly went to meet them. Within no time, the endless space was filled with many young cultivators. ''Swoosh'' While the young cultivators were excitedly discussing the next rounds, another batch of silhouettes appeared in the endless space. This time, it was the six vagrant cultivators, Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr, Rulf and Neil. ''Brother,'' The moment they appeared, Neil looked for his brother and hurriedly rushed towards him. ''Neil. You must have impressed one of the six vagrant cultivators. That''s why they brought you here personally,'' Justice praised his brother as he knew how persistent and stubborn his brother could be. So, he assumed he must have impressed someone from the six vagrant cultivators. ''No, brother. Sir Ramon said that the so-called round 1 is just for timepass and it has nothing to do with the original disciple selection ceremony,'' Neil shook his head as he exined what he knew about the event. ''Oh'' After hearing his little brother''s words, Justice didn''t say anything and nodded his head. "Everyone, this so-called round 1 is just a simple round to see how serious are you about the event," Soon, Ramon became the spokesperson as he was the host of the event and he continued, "The real trials will begin after we reach somewhere else and it is none other than my secret realm." While saying that, he pointed both his thumbs to his back and all of a sudden, a portal opened that made all the young cultivators excited. ''Is that an entrance to the secret realm?'' ''I heard something about it from my grandfather when I was still a kid; however, I can''t remember anything,'' ''Keep quiet and let''s go and see,'' Some young cultivators heard abouts ''Secret realms''; however, they didn''t have a clear idea about them. Nevertheless, all the young cultivators knew one thing for sure and it was this was the fortuitous event that could change their lives. Chapter 649: The Eternal Garden, Purple-Eyed Moon Rabbit

Chapter 649: The Eternal Garden, Purple-Eyed Moon Rabbit

Secret realms are the ces that are situated in endless space. They are just like separate worlds; however, much smallerpared to the real worlds. And each and every one of the six vagrant cultivators had their own secret realm which they used for many purposes. ''Swoosh'' After finishing his words, Ramon entered the portal along with the other old man and a middle-aged man. "Let''s go," Someone from the younger generation shouted and all the young cultivators rushed into the portal. Ajax was also one of them; however, he was not in a hurry as he slowly walked into the portal. ''Swoosh'' After entering into the portal, Ajax and the other young cultivators were teleported to a green forest filled with many trees of all sizes. "Everone, wee to my secret realm, The Eternal Garden," After everyone was transported into the secret realm, Ramon turned towards the young cultivators and weed them to his home. ''Woah'' ''The essence of nature is pure in this secret realm,'' ''I wonder, will I get a sect realm too when I became as strong as the six vagrant cultivator,'' All the young cultivators were mesmerized by the essence of nature which was purer than the essence of nature from the Zrochester province. ''I wonder, who manages the guild master''s secret realm,'' While all the young cultivators were focusing on the secret realm they were currently in; however, Ajax was thinking about the guild master''s secret realm. The guild master is the leader among the six vagrant cultivators. So, he will be having a secret realm of his own; however, what puzzled Ajax was who manages that secret realm because the guild master would be mostly in the mercenary guild. "Are you all ready for the trials?" Soon, the guild master came forwards and asked the young cultivators. "Yes, guild master," Everyone nodded their heads with excited looks on their faces. "Sandra, you start the first trial," The guild master nodded his head at the young cultivators before looking at the old woman and asked her to start the first trail. "Okay," The old woman agreed to the guild master''s words beforeing forward and looked at the young cultivators for a moment. "My trial is the most simple one among all the trials you will be facing in the next rounds because the requirements to be my disciple are very low," The veiled matriarch, Sandra revealed a slight smile. ''It''s definitely not going to be an easy trial,'' ''Did you see that smile? There is definitely something is wrong with it,'' ''When someone says that the trial is the easiest one, then it would be the hardest one,'' All the young cultivators were anxious at the slight smile revealed by Sandra. Despite the fact that Sandra''s face was covered by a veil, it was so thin that everyone could notice the smile on her face. As for Ajax and a few others, they remained silent and waited for the veiled matriarch to exin about the trial. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, a small white rabbit appeared in front of Sandra. The rabbit was around the same size as a football. The most noticeable thing in the rabbit was its eyes which were in a purple colour. "Meet my cute spirit beast, purple-eyed moon rabbit," Soon, Sandra introduced her spirit beast to the young cultivators and continued saying, "Everyone, as long as you catch my cute rabbit, then you will get one point; however, there is a time limit of exactly one hour. So, you need to hurry up." "Madam, but there is only one purple-eyed rabbit. So, only of us can get the point?" Lewis asked Sandra with some hesitation in his voice. "Only one?" Sandra looked at the moon rabbit in front of her and the moment her eyesnded on the moon rabbit, 15 more moon rabbits that looked exactly simr to the first one appeared in front of her. "Are you okay now?" Sandra looked at Lewis and asked him with a little smile on her face. "Yes, yes," Lewis hurriedly nodded his head and silently slipped into the group to hide from her. ''Holy heavens, all the sixteen moon rabbits look exactly the same,'' ''Are they all originals or just some clones?'' ''We will know once we catch a moon rabbit,'' ''Since it is madam Sandra''s pet, it must not be a normal spirit beast, right?'' ''Of course, it would be an extraordinary beast; otherwise, why would she use it in a trial to test these many cultivators?'' All the young cultivators were shocked by the multiple moon rabbits that looked exactly the same and at the same time, they became excited. ''System, show information about it,'' As for Ajax, he silently ordered the system to show the information on the moon rabbit. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Purple-eyed moon rabbit. Strength:- Can''t be seen Skills:-? Can''t be seen Description:- A spirit beast that was rumoured to be born from the condensed energy from the purple moon. More information:- Can''t be seen. Soon, a halographic screen appeared in front of him which was almost iplete that made Ajax bitterly shake his head. ''Looks like my strength is too low to know about the moon rabbit,'' Ajax knew what ''Can''t be seen'' means on the halographic screen. So, he didn''t bother to ask the system. ''Nevertheless, I learned an important thing that the rabbit is much stronger than Darbaudr,'' Ajax''s respect towards the six vagrant cultivators increased to another level after seeing how powerful the moon rabbit was. "And the trial begins now," Soon, the veiled matriarch announced the start of the trial. The moment, she finished her words, all the 16 moon rabbits ran into various directions at an incredible speed. "That one is mine," "Don''t you dare set your eyes on my rabbit," Everyone chooses a moon rabbit to catch; however, they were unable to catch them as it was very fast. ''Cloud steps'' Ajax didn''t hesitate to use his level 2 cloud steps and ran after a moon rabbit. ''Got you,'' Ajax almost got the moon rabbit into his hands. However, he didn''t get the moon rabbit as it easily jumped out of his hands. ''Damn it,'' Ajax cursed as he ran after it once again. ''These trees and bushes are making the trial even more difficult,'' Ajax soon noticed the difficulty not only lies in the speed of the purple-eyed moon rabbits but the surroundings were also in the favour of the moon rabbit that made all the young cultivators even more difficult to catch. ''Justice, why don''t we form a team and catch the moon rabbits?'' After running for the moon rabbit for a while, Ajax felt that it was impossible to catch the moon rabbit on his own. So, he suggested forming a team with Justice. "Yes, young master. Also, if you don''t mind, can we add my brother to the team?" Justice also felt the same and nodded his head. Moreover, he also requested Ajax about taking his brother into the team. "Sure. Let''s make a n then," Soon, Ajax, Justice and his brother Neil came together and started nning on how to catch the moon rabbits. ''Interesting Sandra revealed a slight smile on her face when she looked at Ajax and his team. Chapter 650: Impossible Trial

Chapter 650: Impossible Trial

''Justice, let''s focus on one moon rabbit,'' Ajax, Justice and Neil formed a circle and started nning and in the first step, they selected a moon rabbit. ''Neil, you will chase it towards that two trees, where I will hide and try my best to catch it and if in case, I missed it, then your brother will catch it,'' Soon, Ajax devised a n with Neil, who starts it by chasing and as for Ajax and Justice, they went to stand in their position behind the two trees. ''Swoosh'' Neil went to the moon rabbit they selected and started chasing it. ''Justice, be ready. I am feeling that it will definitely use some technique to escape from my hands and you need to catch it,'' A spirit beast pet of one of the six vagrant cultivators would have many trump cards under its sleeves. So, Ajax kept Justice as his back-up n. ''They are thinking your little moon is a small spirit beast that could be captured by normal means...Haha'' ''They still didn''t understand that this is sure to be a failure trial for them,'' ''Even I need to be careful to capture it. A moment of carelessness and it will disappear from my sight'' The five vagrant cultivators except for Sandraughed as they recalled how hard they tried to capture that moon rabbit in the past. However, Sandra revealed a slight smile on her face but she didn''t say anything because what they said was absolutely true. ''It''s just a trial which these young cultivators couldn''tplete. So, what are you trying to find out from this trial?'' Afterughing for a while, the guild master asked the veiled matriarch what she was testing among the young cultivators through this trial. ''That kid already started what I am testing...Haha,'' Sandra revealed a slight smile at the guild master and looked at Ajax as she was waiting for something. ''Oh'' The guild master understood something and didn''t ask her anything more before looking at Ajax who was hiding behind a tree. As for Edmond and others, they were not allowed to hear the conversations between the six vagrant cultivators. So, they didn''t have a single clue about what they were talking about as they were anxiously watching the young cultivators. To be some specific, Edmond and Udo were watching the nine young cultivators who were individually chasing after the moon rabbits. Darbaudr was watching Ajax, Justice and Neil. As for Rulf, he was thinking hard about the meaning behind the trial which the guild master asked him to do. ''As long as I find the meaning behind the trial, I will get a nice reward from the guild master,'' No matter whether it was low-level cultivators or high-level cultivators, young or old, when there was a reward for some work, of course, they would do it. Moreover, it was a reward from the guild master. So, of course, Rulf was excited about the reward and trying his hardest to find out the meaning behind the trial. ''Justice, it is near,'' As for Ajax, he didn''t bother with other things as his eyes were entirely focused on the moon rabbit that wasing towards the trees and asked Justice to be careful. ''Swoosh'' The moment the selected moon rabbit came between the trees, Ajax used his level 2 cloud steps to rush towards the moon rabbit to catch it. ''Now, I got you,'' This time, he really caught the moon rabbit; however, it looked at him for a second before disappearing from his hands. "What the hell?" Ajax was shocked by the moon rabbit''s sudden disappearance from his hands as he cursed out loud. It appeared in front of Justice; however, he was long rxed when he saw Ajax had caught it. So, the moon rabbit walked right in front of his nose. ''Young master, I think it is impossible to catch it,'' Justice hurriedly ran towards Ajax and supported him to stand up as he said to him. ''Sigh'' Hearing that Ajax sighed as he nodded his head before saying, ''I think, Madam Sandra is testing us for something else.'' Finally, Ajax understood that the trial was really not about catching the moon rabbit and started thinking about it. ''Haha...I guess, he finally understood that he can''t catch it,'' ''Maybe he is trying to find what Sandra was trying to evaluate from this trial,'' ''Yeah...I wonder whether he will find it or not,'' Soon, other than Sandra, the rest of the vagrant cultivators startedmenting about Ajax''s failed n. ''Maybe he will find out,'' However, Sandra replied to the other vagrant cultivators and stopped looking at Ajax and started looking at others'' performance. ''Everyone, stop chasing the moon rabbits ande here,'' The leader of the nine young cultivators, the Silver Goliath transmitted his voice to his eight brothers and sisters. ''Huh?'' All the eight young men who were chasing after the moon rabbits stopped running after it and looked at his big brother with puzzled expressions on their faces. ''It''s time to use our ''Nine-men awakening'' to catch the moon rabbits,'' After seeing Ajax''s n, the leader of the nine young cultivators thought it was better to use theirbined skill to catch it. So, he asked everyone to gather around. Even though Ajax failed, they felt they could do it because they have more coordination and moreover, they were also more in numbers. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the nine young cultivators formed a circle and activated their nine-men awakening with the good effects. Among those three effects, one of the effects makes them think like one and their coordination with one another will be 100 percent. ''Oh...Nine-men awakening?'' ''No wonder, our old man Rae thinks very highly of them,'' ''So, they are all from the hidden families. No wonder, I felt a little familiar with them,'' When the old men saw the nine young cultivators who activated the ''Nine-men awakening'', they were a little shocked. "Edmond was the one who trained them from their childhood. So, all the credits go to him," the guild master already knows about the ''Nine-men awakening'' and he also knows who was the reason behind it. So, he told his friends about Edmond. "You did a good job. They will be the future pirs of the Zrochester province," The revered protector, Seward praised Edmond for his work. "It''s nothing, Elder Seward. All the young ones were able to endure the pain and worked every hard to awaken that," Edmond maintained a respectful tone as he continued, "Elder Seward, but I don''t want them to be the future pirs of Zrochester province. If they be that, just like how the hidden families were massacred, they will be killed." Even though Edmond knew that Elder Seward likes to protect the Zrochester province, he felt he needed to say his words. "Sigh" Hearing his words, all the vagrant cultivators shook their heads because they didn''t have an answer to give a reply to him. "Justice, I got an idea," All of a sudden, Ajax, who looked a little disappointed with the impossible trial revealed an excited look on his face as he said to Justice. Chapter 651: Catching the moon rabbit

Chapter 651: Catching the moon rabbit

''What is it, young master?'' Justice became a little curious as he asked Ajax about his idea. ''You will know in a short while,'' Ajax revealed a mysterious smile as he continued saying, ''We are going to use the same n. Back to our position.'' Soon, Ajax asked Justice and his brother Neil to go back to their positions. ¡­.. "Lewis, Paulin and Jeff, let''s form a team and try catching the moon rabbits," While Ajax was once again trying the same n with little modification to it, Levi asked the remaining individuals about forming a team. After his stay in the mercenary squad building, Levi became close to Lewis and Jeff as he spent most of his time with them. So, he casually asked them about forming a team to catch the moon rabbits. "Yes, brother Levi," Lewis and Jeff were the first to nod their heads and as for Paulin, he looked at Ajax''s team and Goliath''s team before nodding his head. ''Let''s do this,'' Soon, they thought of a n to catch the moon rabbit just like the other two teams. ¡­. Ajax didn''t go to hide behind the trees; instead, he walked towards the six vagrant cultivators and with a respectful tone, he asked, "Madam Sandra, how long the moon rabbit should be in my hands toplete the trial?" He just wanted one clear answer and depending on that he could execute his modified n. ''Huh?'' The veiled matriarch raised her brows as she was a little confused with his question. ording to her, the trial was impossible toplete and moreover, she was expecting them toplete the trial anyway. So, when Ajax asked her a question about the trial, Sandra really didn''t have an answer for it. "Earlier, you are able to catch the moon rabbit for a single second and as long as you can hold it for 2 seconds in your hands, you will be considered as passing the trial," Nevertheless, the old woman thought for a moment and gave Henrick a clear holding time of the moon rabbit in his hands. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked by her reply because earlier he would have justpleted the trial if he were to hold the moon rabbit in his hands for another second. "Are you sure, it is only two seconds?" Ajax was still unable to believe his words. So, he asked her once more to get the confirmation. "Of course it is for 2 seconds. Go andplete the trial, you only have less than 20 minutes toplete the trial," Sandra urged Ajax to go back andplete the trial as she was curious about what Ajax was nning to do next. As for why she said only two seconds because she was very confident in her spirit beast pet. The total time for this trial was exactly one hour; however, except for Ajax, no one was close to catching it. "Thanks, Madam Sandra," Ajax thanked her before going back to execute his n. ''Looks like I need to y a little smart here,'' While going back to justice, Ajax thought in his head. After hearing her words, Ajax got to the conclusion that the trial was impossible for them toplete because she was very confident that even if all the sixteen young cultivators were to form a team to catch the moon rabbit, it was impossible to catch it. Moreover, with Levi''s level 2 elite general realm cultivation, he had more advantage than any other young cultivator in the trial; however, whenever he tried to catch a moon rabbit, the mon rabbit would escape from his hands just like how it was escaping from everyone. ''I think the moon rabbit''s speed increases depending on the cultivation of the cultivator. Now, it makes sense that I was able to catch it because of my unusual speed for a level 2 elitemander,'' Finally, Ajax understood why he was able to catch the moon rabbit for a second and thought that his modified n would definitely work. ''I will y dirty to catch it...Hehe,'' So, Ajax thought to use something else to catch the little moon rabbit with an eerie smile which didn''t suit him much. ''Swoosh'' After both Ajax and Justice hid behind the same trees, Neil started chasing after a moon rabbit and forced it to go towards the direction in which Ajax and Justice were hiding. ''This time, let''s see how you will escape,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he waited for the moon rabbit toe near him. Unlike before, he didn''t ask Justice to be careful as though he was confident in catching the moon rabbit on his own. ''Swoosh'' Just like before, the moment the moon rabbit came near him, Ajax used his level 2 cloud steps to catch the moon rabbit; however, unlike before there was something in his hand this time. But his luck was very bad that the moon rabbit changed direction in mid-air and Ajax was unable to touch it. ''Thud'' ''Damn it'' Ajax fell to the ground and the moon rabbit stopped in its way and turned back at Ajax before startingughing. ¡­.. ''What happened to him? Didn''t we just praise him that he was so clever?'' ''Maybe something happened to his head when he fell earlier,'' ''I thought he figured it would be impossible to catch the moon rabbit, then why is he using the same failed method to catch it?'' Except for Sandra, all the vagrant cultivatorsmunicated in the voice transmission and as for Sandra, she just continued to watch Ajax and his team. ''The main motive behind this trial is to have full coordination between one another among all the teammates in a team. Even when the task is impossible, they should never me other teammates and should give their all toplete the trial,'' Sandra nced at the other two teams where they started ming one another for sometime beforeing to an understanding and became fully coordinated with one another to catch the moon rabbit. So, ording to her, the trial was a sess but she was still puzzled at Ajax''s actions and at the same time, she was curious about what Ajax was trying to do. Just when every vagrant cultivators were in their own discussions, the moon rabbit which wasughing while looking at Ajax stoppedughing all of a sudden. It looked at Ajax''s hands and rushed towards him before standing still in front of him as though it was waiting for Ajax to catch it. ''Haha...you are an intelligent one,'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and slowly stood up from the ground; however, he was not in a hurry to catch it as he stretched his body a little before picking up the little moon rabbit from the ground. After picking it up, he showed it towards Edmond and others that made everyone shocked while their jaws dropped. ''Holy heavens, Ajax did it,'' ''He finally caught the moon rabbit'' ''Let''s not waste any more time and catch the moon rabbit,'' Seeing the moon rabbit in Ajax''s hands, the other two teams were shocked for a moment before focusing on catching their own moon rabbit. Chapter 652: Ajaxs cunningness

Chapter 652: Ajax''s cunningness

''Wait...am I seeing things?'' ''Did the moon rabbit willingly surrender to him?'' ''What did he do?'' ''I think, he tempted it with something,'' ''Yes. The moon rabbit is a glutton. It ate all the valuables in my secret realmst time he came here,'' The five vagrant cultivators except for Sandra were shocked by the sudden turn of events in front of them. Because theypletely knew about the moon rabbit and how cunning the rabbit was. So, when they saw a moon rabbit willingly allowed Ajax to pick it up from the ground which made their jaws drop. However, in the end, they guessed that Ajax baited using some delicious food and that was the only logical reason. ''It is not an easy thing to tempt my little moon with any normal food. It has to be very high-level and at the same time, it has to be delicious. Only then it will eat that food item,'' Sandra knew the full well about her contracted spirit beasts. So, she replied with a scoff. ''Wait a second. Let me ask my little moon about it,'' Soon, she closed her eyes and contacted the little moon to ask for the reason. ''Huh?'' After learning the truth from the moon rabbit, Sandra raised her brows for a moment before revealing a smile on her veiled face. ''What happened?'' ''Did you find out what he gave it? The vagrant cultivators curiously asked her about what Ajax tempted the moon rabbit with. ''Little moon said that it didn''t know what the item was and he still didn''t give it. So, there is?no way he could tell us about the item,'' Sandra revealed a bitter smile as replied to the vagrant cultivators. ''Then how did he tempted it?'' Elek asked her while looking at the moon rabbit which was changing hands from Ajax to Justice and then Neil. Since every participant needs to hold the moon rabbit in their hands for two seconds, Ajax made sure his teammates also passed the trial along with him by letting them hold the moon rabbit for a few seconds. ''Little moon said that when Ajax tried to catch it earlier, he held that item in his hands and allowed it to breathe a delicious fragrance that made the little moon surrender to him. So that he would give that thing to it,'' Sandra exined what she learned from the moon rabbit as she continued, ''Looks like he is more cunning than my little moon. If he gave that thing to the little moon earlier, he would have wasted it for nothing. Now, he still has that item in his possession and at the same time he along with his teammate passed the trial.'' ''Haha...I decided to take him as my disciple. So, no one shouldpete with me,'' One of the vagrants said to the other vagrant cultivators. ''You? With your teaching techniques, he would be an idiot. Let me take him as my disciple,''. Another vagrant cultivator replied to the first vagrant cultivator. Except for the guild master and Sanda, the remaining four vagrant cultivators started a war of words. Soon, there was an internal fight among the four vagrant cultivators for the sake of Ajax. "Do you want to eat it?" As for Ajax, who was the reason for an internal fight among the four vagrant cultivators, he looked at the little moon in his hands and asked it. ''Nods'' The little moon cutely nodded its head and silently thought, ''Once this human gives me that thing, I will beat the shit out of him for making me wait this long.'' Originally, the purple-eyed moon rabbit was a very cunning spirit beast and even for its slightest dissatisfaction, it would take revenge on others. So, as soon as it gets the delicious item from Ajax, the moon rabbit decided to take revenge on him. "Sorry" However, Ajax had no intention of giving it what it wanted as he continued to say, "I will only get the delicious items for my contracted spirit beasts or my mounts. So, you can''t get the item from him." Ajax revealed a cruel smile as he replied to the cute little rabbit. The thing that Ajax used to bait the moon rabbit was none other than the ''Advanced essence pill''. It was known as the best pill for the spirit beasts to awaken their ancestral memories. So, any spirit beast below the king realm would be tempted to eat it. However, Ajax was very careful that he didn''t even show the pill to the moon rabbit because he didn''t have any intention of giving that pill to it. Moreover, he felt it was not a good thing to openly give a pill that could change the fate of a spirit beast to it as it would definitely make him fall in danger. ''At least I gain some trust regarding these vagrant cultivators, I better not use any of the good things in my arsenal,'' Ajax was simply following Edmond''s advice to hide the trump cards in your sleeve as long as possible. ''Growl'' When it heard Ajax''s words, the moon rabbit in his hands froze for a couple of seconds before revealing a low growl. ''Human, if you are not going to give that item, I am will kill you,'' While maintaining the growl, the moon rabbit spoke in a young woman''s voice which sounded very angry. "What will you do?" Ajax was not surprised much with the sudden young woman''s voice in his head as he was already ustomed to it. Also, since the moon rabbit was the contracted spirit beast of one of the six vagrant cultivators, he was not at all surprised at its human speech as he replied to the moon rabbit. "I will kill you," The moon rabbit could no longer control its anger and this was its first time being deceived by someone. Usually, it deceives everyone with its looks. So, it became very angry and jumped at him with its sharp nails. However, Ajax didn''t move an inch from his ce and stood there without any fear on his face. "Little moon, stop it," Just when the moon rabbit was about to scratch Ajax''s face, the veiled woman appeared behind the moon rabbit and caught it with her hand. "Young man, you need to be careful with your attitude," After calming down her little moon, Sandra looked at Ajax and said to him while releasing a strong pressure at him. ''Shrug'' Ajax replied to her with a shrug while barely enduring the pressure released from her. In the past, he endured many greater pressures from Elder Boron without any cultivation. Currently, he had good cultivation and unusual strength. So, it was not a problem for him to endure. "Not bad" Sandra retracted her cultivation pressure and nodded her head at him before saying, "You three passed the trial; however, don''t get happy too early. There still five more trials for you to finish." After she finished her words at Ajax and the other two, she turned her head towards the other two teams and said in a low yet strong voice, "Time is up and all of you failed the trial; however, no need to worry. There are still five more?trials to prove yourself." Chapter 653: Soul related trial

Chapter 653: Soul rted trial

''Huh?'' Hearing Sandra''s words, Ajax felt a little funny; however, he didn''t dare tough out loud. Sandra said the same words to his team and the other two teams with just some different words; however, her attitude waspletely different. When she said to Ajax, it seemed like she was giving a warning whereas when she said to the other two teams it was more like a constion. However, that didn''t bother Ajax much as he was just attending the selection to see how rich the vagrant cultivators were. ''If they use force to see what I tempted the moon rabbit, then they are no different from the top powers of the Zrochester province,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he walked towards Darbaudr. Although it was a test for the young cultivators to be the disciples of the six vagrant cultivators, in Ajax''s view, he was testing them. In his test, if these so-called six vagrant cultivators were good people, he could help them with the good items from the system in return he would take the nice items from them like mutual sharing among them. ''They can check my space rings and spirit consciousness; however, they can''t even guess that I was carrying a small world inside me much less they could search it,'' A powerful cultivator could see through a low-level cultivators'' spirit consciousness without much difficulty; however, Ajax didn''t worry much about the six vagrant cultivators finding out as he was very confident in the system. ''ording to it, even the general realm is still very weak so what will be the strongest realm? King realm? Or are there any other realms above it?'' Ajax muttered to himself as he walked towards Darabaudr. ''Wait a second. I am such a fool,'' All of a sudden, he scolded himself in his head as he continued to think, ''Why am I waiting for the system to answer my questions? I can always ask about cultivation realms after king realm to Darbaudr or Senior brother Levi.'' Since Darbaudr was from Ylercester province, which had a much purer essence of nature. So, naturally, they could reach the King realm unlike the cultivators in the Zroceshter province. So, he decided to ask Darbaudr or Levi about it once the disciple selection was over. "Ajax, you did great," Edmond praised Ajax as he was very supportive of him because he looked just like his son. Udo, as usual, didn''t say anything except for looking at Ajax as though he was a demon. "Everyone did well; however, you don''t need to worry as there are more trials. So, you can still prove yourselves," Edmond said simr words as that of Sandra; however, all the young cultivators felt a little bit more motivated than before. "Let''s not waste any more time and enter the second trial," Soon, the host of ''The Eternal Garden'' shouted out loud that all the young cultivators and the old generation looked towards him. ''Elek, you give them your trial,'' After everyone looked at him, Ramon transmitted his voice to the Soul handler, Elek. Actually, the disciple selection by these six vagrant cultivators was very simple. All the six vagrant cultivators would give their own trial to the young cultivators and after all the six trials werepleted, the overall performance of a young cultivator would be checked. Depending on that and some other factors, they decided to select a disciple to pass on to their legacy. ''Sure,'' Elek nodded his head at Ramon before turning towards the young cultivators and introduced, "Hello everyone, my name is Elek also known as the soul handler." "Hello, Elder Elek," All the young cultivators greeted back with a respectful tone. "My trial is very simple as it required you to do nothing except for standing still for some time," Elek partially exined about the trial which didn''t have a head or tail to it. ''Looks like every six of them will say the same line ''My trial is very simple,'' As for Ajax, he felt a little funny when he heard those words; however, he paid his full attention to hear about the trial. "In my trial, your soul will be put under a lot of pressure and those whost longer under those pressures, they will be given a lot of preference over others when I take the disciples. So, all the best and I hope, everyone will perform well in my trial," Soon, the soul handler exined his trial that made almost all young cultivators shiver. Because all the matters regarding the soul were veryplicated. Even if there was a single mistake, then their soul would be damaged or in the worst case, it might even dissipate. "You are free to drop out of my trial," Elek could see the hesitation in the faces of 90 percent of the young cultivators as he knew about his trial. However, there was still no reply from the young cultivators that made Elek shook his head before saying, "One more thing, even if you drop out of my trial it will not affect your next trials. So, you don''t need to fear dropping out of my trial." "I will drop from this trial, Elder Elek," As soon as he finished his words, Lewis and Jeff raised their hands as they replied to Elek. "Okay...you can go aside and rest until the next trial starts," Elek nodded his head and asked them to move aside before he looked at the remaining young cultivators and asked, "You all are ready for the trial?" "Yes, Elder," Ajax, Levi, Paulin, Justice and Neil immediately replied without any hesitation on their face; however, Edmond'' adopted children were still in hesitation and took some more time before nodding their heads and decided to ept the trial. "Good" Elek nodded his head as he asked them, "Everyone,e one by one and stand in front of him." No one moved from Edmond''s nine children as they looked at Levi, whose cultivation was high. So, they were indirectly telling him to go first. There was nothing wrong with being careful. Even Ajax didn''t move because he feared that he might overdo the trial because his spirit consciousness was huge along with his endurance. So, he would definitelyst much longer than others. "I will go then," Levi revealed a bitter smile on his face as he started walking towards Elek. "Don''te. I am going to select the youngsters on my own," Before Leivi could take a couple of steps, Elek asked Levi to stoping as he nced at Edmond''s adopted children and called out, "You short one,e here." He pointed his finger at the shortest member among those nine cultivators and asked him toe. "Me?" Dark me was shocked that he was the first to undergo the soul trial and his heart rate increased a lot; however, he ced his hand on his chest as he tried to calm down and started moving towards him. "It''s an honour for Dark me to be chosen first for your trial, Elder Elek," After going closer to Elder Elek, Dark me politely replied that he was honoured to be selected even though he felt something else in his heart. Chapter 654: Reason behind the excited smiles

Chapter 654: Reason behind the excited smiles

Who will not have fear when ites to their soul. So, of course, Dark me cursed at his bad luck. "Ready?" Elder Elek nodded his head as he asked the short Dark me whether he was ready or not. ''Stay still'' Before Dark me could even reply to him, he ced his hand on Dark me''s head. All the young cultivators were looking at Dark me to notice any changes in him. ''Aargh'' However, it didn''t take much longer for Dark me to groan in pain. ''5 seconds, next'' Elder Elek stopped the moment Dark me groaned in pain and announced the result of the trial before asking for the next participant. ''Ah..ah'' Dark me waspletely covered in sweat; however, he was still able to walk back to his ce while gasping for air. There was something that puzzled all the young cultivators when they looked at Dark me and that was an exciting smile was stered on Dark me''s face. Next, King killer, with his usual arrogant look hurriedly moved forward to be the next participant because Elder Elek didn''t bother to pick anymore. So, after seeing the excited smile on Dark me''s face, he guessed that there were some benefits to endure the pressure on his soul. "I am ready, Elder Elek," King killer revealed a smile as his arrogant look hadpletely disappeared by the time he reached Elder Elek. "Good" Elder Elek nodded his head as he repeated the process ofo cing his hand on the participant''s head. ''Aargh'' Just like Dark me, King killer also groaned in pain before revealing an excited smile on his face that made all the young cultivators puzzle and their fear towards the trial hadpletely vanished. Soon, one after another young cultivators went to Elder Elek and returned with an excited smile on their faces. ... As Elder Elek was conducting his trial, the three vagrant cultivators, Ramon, Esmund and Seward were having a serious discussion among themselves. ''Are we not going to bother about what that brat had baited the moon rabbit with?'' Ramon looked at Ajax and said to the other two vagrant cultivators. In this discussion, only three of them were participating as for the guild master and Sandra, they didn''t bother about it. ''I think, Sandra knows about it; however, she is not telling us,'' ''Maybe, she is nning to take Ajax as her disciple,'' ''That must be right; otherwise, how can she be this calm even after her contracted spirit beast was deceived by a young brat?'' ''So, what are you nning?'' They discussed what Ajax used to bait the moon rabbit and in the end, they came to the conclusion that Sandra was going to take Ajax as her disciple. So, Esmund and Seward asked Ramon regarding what he was nning. ''I am thinking of epting Ajax as my disciple at any cost to find out about it. Moreover, he is good enough to be my disciple,'' Ramon looked at Ajax before replying to the other two vagrant cultivators. ''...'' Esmund and Seward were speechless at Ramon''s words as they shook their head at Ramon''s shamelessness. ''You are indirectly asking us to support you, right?'' Seward asked Ramon with a scoff. ''Yes...as long as he bes my disciple, you can pick any one item from my eternal garden,'' Ramon revealed a slight smile on his face as he gave a good offer to the two other vagrant cultivators that was impossible to resist. ''Are you for real?'' ''Just for a disciple, you are going to give two items?'' Esmund and Seward were shocked by Ramon''s words as they asked him. ''Sure. As long as I know what that brat used to bait the moon rabbit, it is all worth it. If I can get my hands on it, I can tame that thing which sleeping for many years now,'' Ramon looked at the distant mountain as he replied to the two other cultivators. ''Okay then. We will fully support you,'' ''That''s right! Since you are very good at bribing, we will definitely support you,'' Esmund and Seward nodded their heads before focusing on the trial. To be more urate, they focused on Ajax to see who much longer he would endure Elek''s pressure. ¡­. ''Those three must be nning something behind your back,'' Just as Ramon, Esmund and Seward finished their discussion and came to one conclusion, the leader of the six vagrant cultivators, the guild master Rae silently transmitted his voice to Sandra which contained a hint of a smile. ''Those three idiots will never change...just let them do whatever they want to do,'' Sandra shook her head as she replied to the guild master. ''I am hoping that this is going to be funny...haha,'' The guild master also nodded his head as he startedughing in his heart thinking about what the future would bring. ¡­... At the other side, the Elder Elek was cing his hands on the young cultivators with a nonchnt expression. ''6 seconds'' ''4 seconds'' ''8 seconds,'' . . . ¡­. The trial continued without any disturbance and finally, it was Ajax''s turn as he was thest one remaining in the trial. ''Should I groan in pain after 5 seconds?'' From the beginning, Ajax observed each and everyone''s performance. In that, almost everyone''s time limit was around 5. So, he thought about whether he should give up after 5 seconds or not. Among all the young cultivators, Levi''s record was 10 seconds which was the highest followed by Paulin and the remaining spots were taken by Justice, Silver Goliath, Fearless Gori and others. However, no one was depressed after the trial as though they received some kind of benefit afterpleting their turn in the trial. ''I hope it should be something great, right? Even Senior brother Levi also seems to be happy,'' With a head full of thoughts, he finally reached Elder Elek and said, "I am ready, Elder Elek." Elder Elek didn''t say anything as he ced his hand on Ajax''s head. All of a sudden, Ajax felt like his spirit consciousness was increasing along with slight pain in his head. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness capacity +50 ''Ding, Spirit consciousness capacity +40 ''Ding, Spirit consciousness capacity +30 . . . ''Ding, Spirit consciousness capacity +10 ''Ding, Spirit consciousness capacity +1 At the same time, the system notifications continuously rang in his head that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''What the...'' Ajax was shocked by the increment of his spirit consciousness and shocked to the core. ''Wait a second...damn it...five seconds must be over,'' All of a sudden. Ajax recalled something and intentionally groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. ''8 seconds, Good,'' Elder Elek nonchntly announced the result before going back to the other vagrant cultivators and discussed something. As for Ajax, he waspletely covered in sweat just like other young cultivators; however, it was not because of the pressure on his spirit consciousness; instead, it was because he feared that he created a record higher than senior brother Levi. Nevertheless, he was supported by other young cultivators to stand up from the ground. "Everyone,e here and stand in a row," Soon, Elder Ramon came forward as he asked every young cultivator to properly stand in front of him. Chapter 655: 10000 units

Chapter 655: 10000 units

Ajax and other young cultivators including Lews and Jeff stood in front of Elder Eamon and waited for him to start the next trial. "Before we start the next trial, all of you need to inform us about how much your spirit consciousness capacity increased in the second trial," However, Elder Ramon didn''t start the next trial as he asked the young cultivators about the benefit from the second trial. Every vagrant cultivator already knew about Elek''s trial and what kind of benefits it would bring to the young cultivators. Moreover, with the help of that increment in the spirit consciousness capacity, the could get to know more about these young cultivators. "Yes, Elder Ramon," Everyone nodded their heads and agreed to say their recent increment in the spirit consciousness. "Start from here," Elder Ramon pointed at Ajax and asked him to start first. ''What the heck,'' Ajax was still in a daze as there were continuous system notifications ringing in his head that gave him one shock after another. ''Ding, The spirit consciousness capacity of the host reached a value of 10000. ''Ding, The spirit consciousness capacity will not be increased till the host breaks through into the general realm. ''Ding, No passive increase in the spirit consciousness capacity from the ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' ''Ding, However, the host can use other methods to increase his spirit consciousness'' capacity. ''Should I?be happy that I reach 10000 units capacity of the spirit consciousness or should I be sad that I will no longer get the passive increase from the mysterious spirit cultivation technique?'' After seeing all the system notifications, Ajax didn''t know whether he should be happy or sad. ''Wait a second. If my spirit consciousness'' capacity is locked at 10000 units until I reach the breakthrough then there is no difference between me and senior brother Paulin, right?'' Ajax remembered the spirit consciousness capacity of Paulin which was capped at 10000 units and thought in his head. Actually, Ajax thought that he would be in having more spirit consciousness capacity whenpared to others because he used some items that increased his spirit consciousness capacity. So, it was normal for Ajax to think like that. ''Maybe when I breakthrough in the minor realms, I might receive some increment,'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax thought in his head. Since he would be not getting any passive increment in his spirit consciousness capacity, he thought levelling up in his cultivation would work. ''Ding, Except for the increments from the items which increase the spirit consciousness capacity, no other thing will work until the host breaks through to the general realm. ''Sigh'' Seeing thetest system notification, Ajax sighed as he shook his head. ''Ajax, Elder Ramon is asking you to say the recent increment in the spirit consciousness'' capacity,'' While Ajax was looking into the thin air and sighing, he came to reality with the voice transmission of Levi. ''Huh?'' Ajax hurriedly came out and looked at Elder Ramon with a puzzled expression on his face. "I asked you how much your spirit consciousness is increased," Looking at Ajax''s puzzled face, Elder Ramon once again asked him the same question. ''I got more than 700 units increment in my spirit consciousness. What about everyone? How many did they get?'' Ajax became a little anxious with Elder Ramon''s question because if his increment is too high then everyone''s focus would be on him. ''Sigh...whatever, I am already in their eyes. One more thing and it doesn''t make much difference,'' Since there was no way for him to escape from their eyes he decided to say less than half of what he got from the trial. "I got 300 units of increment from Elder Elek," Ajax finally said the answer and looked at Elder Ramon as he was waiting to see his expression. ''Huh? Three hundred?'' Elder Ramon along with the other old men was shocked to hear that. "You really got 300 units of increment?" Everyone asked the same question at once that made Ajax''s feare true. "Yes" Ajax nodded his head with an excited look on his face; however, inside his heart, he thought, ''Damn it...I only said 300 units. Please look at me like that.'' "Good" Soon, everyone including Edmond and Udo also felt happy for Ajax before nodding their heads. Elek had already said some rough approximation of how much their spirit consciousness would be increased after the trial. So, when it waspletely out of range from what Elder Elek had said, everyone was first shocked; however, in the end, they were satisfied with Ajax''s result. ''What? He got 300 units of increment?'' ''Sigh...why am I not as lucky as him?'' ''I only got 100 units of increment and here?was over the moon with my measly increment,'' Not only the old generation cultivators, but even the young cultivators were also shocked when they heard Ajax''s answer. "Next," Soon, Elder Ramon called the next young cultivator and it was Levi. "300 units of increment," Levi tried to answer as calmly as possible; however, he was unable to control his excitement. "What?" "Another 300 units of increment for another young cultivator?" "Looks like I will take him as my disciple," All the vagrant cultivators were once again shocked by the result and their eyes fell on Levi to take him as their disciple. "Damn it...I thought Ajax was the only exception. Looks I am there is another one," "I was just convincing myself that only Ajax will have the high increment and the rest of the young cultivators will have around the same increment in their spirit consciousness," "I need to try my best and prove myself in the next trials," As for the young cultivators who had just recovered from Ajax''s earlier words, Levi''s words gave them another shock. "Good," Elder Ramon looked at Paulin and asked him next. "200 units of increment, Elder Elek," Paulin didn''t have any jealousy over Ajax''s and Levi''s huge increment in their spirit consciousness''s capacity as he already knew they were not regr cultivators. "Good...good. This batch has some good young cultivators," Elder Ramon revealed a satisfied smile as he nodded his head. Paulin''s answer only gave them a small surprise because after receiving two back to back shocks, the third one would not have much impact on them. "Next," "110 units" "120 units" . . . . "90 units" "100 units" After the first three, all other young cultivators received around the same level of increment in their spirit consciousness of 100 units. As for Lewis and Jeff, they looked at other young cultivators with bitter smiles on their faces. ''Lewis, didi we make a mistake?'' Jeff looked at his father Udo, whose face was full of disappointment towards him and asked Lewis, who was beside him. ''We already took a decision and there is no use regretting it. So, don''t think much,'' Lewis shook his head as he suggested Jeff not to bother about the trial anymore. ''But still...if we had a little more courage¡­.,'' "Stop it," Before Jeff could finish his sentence, Lewis asked him to shut his mouth. "Now, it''s time to announce the winners of this trial," All of a sudden, Elder Ramon said in a loud voice; however, that didn''t bring him much attention from young cultivators. Chapter 656: Luckier than Ajax

Chapter 656: Luckier than Ajax

There was a reason why it didn''t bring any attention from the young cultivators because they were already aware of the winners from the second trial and they were none other than Ajax, Levi and Paulin. So, they didn''t bother much about the results. Soon, Elder Ramon looked at Elder Elek to announce the results of his trial. "They are Lewis and Jeff," Pointing his fingers at Lewis and Jeff, Elder Elek announced in a low but powerful voice that made all the young cultivators nearly fall to the ground. ''What?'' ''Am I hearing things or did Elder Elek have announced the two participants who left the trial in the middle?'' ''Maybe the earlier pressure on my head must have something that made my ears hear that,'' Even Ajax, Levi and Paulin felt the same; however, they were happy for Lewis and Jeff. Compared to Edmond''s adopted children, Ajax and Paulin had a good rtionship with them. Also, Levi had be close with them as they exined many things and had trained with him for a week. "..." Lewis and Jeff were speechless and looked at each other before startingughing, "Haha." "Come here. I have a special reward for you," While theyughed with excited expressions on their faces, Elder Elek called them to give their special reward. "Yes, Elder Elek," Without any hesitation, they rushed towards Elder Elek to receive their reward. ''Did you see that, Father,'' While going towards Elder Elek, Jeff looked at Udo as he transmitted his voice. ''...'' Udo was greatly overwhelmed with happiness when he heard Elder Elek''s announcement as he was unable to speak out anything and stood there without saying anything. Soon, Elder Elke ced his hands on the hands of Lewis and Jeff before muttering something to himself. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' Within no time, both Lewis and Jeff started screaming in pain; however, unlike before, Elder Elek didn''t take his hands off from them. ''Aargh'' With each passing second, their groaning sounds increased, which made all of the young cultivators'' shiver and heaved a sigh of relief that they were not the winners of the trial. ''Son,'' Udo could not before his son''s painful screams and decided to stop Elder Elek from stopping what he was doing. ''Stay'' Just as he took a step, Udo was stopped by the guild master with a serious face as he asked, "Do you know what your son is going through now? Just wait and see. After Elek removes his hands, your son''s talent will bepletely changed." "So, do you want that to stop? Then go ahead," The guild master no longer tried to stop Udo after exining what he had to exin. ''What?'' Clenching his fists, Udo backed away as he muttered in his heart, ''Please be okay, son.'' He knew that the process that his son was undergoing now would be beneficial for him; however, he was unable to see or hear his son''s painful scream. ''Udo, you need to control your anxiety. Because of your overprotectiveness, he fears everything,'' While Udo was still hesitating, Edmond''s words hit him very hard that he thought carefully about his son''s future. ''I hope, everything goes without any mishap,'' Finally, after hearing Edmond''s words, Udo decided to stay back as he knew that the six vagrant cultivators would never harm a young cultivator. ''Aargh'' Lewis and Jeff continued to scream in pain while everyone from the older generation watched at them seriously. As for the young cultivators, they didn''t look at them and some of them even closed their ears. Soon, the painful screams came to an end, as Jeff and Lewis both fell to the ground. "Son" As soon as Elder Elek stopped the process, Edmond and Udo rushed towards them. Udo checked on Jeff whereas Edmond checked on Lewis and when they saw that both of them were breathing, they heaved a sigh of relief. "You don''t need to worry. Both of them are doing much greater than I thought," Elder Elek revealed a slight smile as he exined to them. "Elder Elek, I have a small doubt. Can I ask it?" Edmond and Udo were finally able to be fully relieved after hearing Elder Elek''s words and Udo asked Elder Elek that he had some doubt. "You can ask," Almost all the vagrant cultivators had a good impression on Edmond and Udo after hearing everything about them from their leader, the guild master. So, he allowed Udo to ask his doubt. "Elder Elek, don''t think I am undermining your decision but can I want to know how my son and Lewis became the winners of the trial?" Udo looked at Edmond for a second before asking Elder Elek about it. It was the question that was in the minds of everyone present in the secret realm except for the six vagrant cultivators. ''Haha'' Hearing Udo''s words, along with Elder Elek all the other vagrant cultivators startedughing before Elder Elek started exining, "The trial was not about whosts long with my pressure or how much spirit consciousness they gained. It was about whether they know when to give up and when to not give up." After hearing Elder Elek''s words, everyone got the revtion about the trial that made him shake their heads. "And these two young cultivators didn''t hesitate to back down at unnecessary trouble. ording to me, the cultivators who know when to back down will definitely reach the greater heights," Elder Elek finally finished his exnation with a slight smile on his face. "Thank you, very much Elder Elek," Udo and Edmond hurriedly thanked Elder Elek for exining and giving such a good opportunity for Lewis and Jeff. "Elder Elek, looks like they are in a deep sleep. What about the remaining trials?" Soon, Edmond and Udo picked the unconscious young men from the ground and tried to take them to some resting'' however, just as they took a couple of steps, Edmond halted in his tracks and turned back to ask a question. "Haha...you don''t need to worry about them anymore. Both of them have a good affinity with my soul cultivation technique. So, I will be taking them as my personal disciples," After finishing his words, Elder Elek went back to join the other vagrant cultivators. ''What?'' ''Looks like they were luckier than Ajax,'' Edmond, Udo and the rest of the young cultivators were shocked by Elder Elek''s words as they looked at the unconscious Lewis and Jeff with faces full of envy. But the envy was nothing serious as they knew that they were going to be the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators anyway. ''Should I wait some more time before falling to the ground? Or did I fall to the ground at the right time?'' As for Ajax, he was happy for Lewis and Jeff; however, his thoughts were on something else. Currently, he was thinking about the time where he intentionally copsed to the ground with Elder Elek''s pressure on his soul and spirit consciousness. ''Uff¡­.nevermind. In the end, all the system notifications informed me that I was getting only 1 unit of increment anyway. Moreover, I think, it would have not crossed 10000 units capacity of my spirit consciousness,'' Ajax stopped bothering about it as he waited for the next trial to start. Chapter 657: Forest Fairy Kings Plans

Chapter 657: Forest Fairy King''s ns

Finally, among the 16? participants, 2 were selected and the remaining 14 were waiting for the remaining four trials hoping that they would be selected next. "Since two trials arepleted, you can take rest for a few minutes before we start the next trial," However, Elder Ramon didn''t start the trial; instead, he asked them to take a rest. "Yes, Elder Ramon," Everyone nodded their heads as they still didn''t understand why there was a break now because they werepletely fine. While thinking about it, all the young cultivators formed groups and sat down at various ces. ...¡­. In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, While Ajax was busy with the trials in the secret realm, Keshe went to her father with three advanced essence pills in her hands. "Father, I meet Ajax and gave him the scroll," Keshe informed her father about it. "Good. Now, you can use the re-cultivation technique to cultivate the humanoid form," Geron, the forest fairy king said to his daughter with a slight smile on his face. "Father, Ajax gave me some pills," Keshe knew what her father was thinking but the reason she came to meet him was different and while taking out the pills, she informed his father about them. "Huh?" The forest fairy king raised his brows as he didn''t understand what kind of pills a 15-year young man would give to her daughter that made her happy? From the time, Keshe came to meet her father, her face always had a smile. So, Geron became a little curious as he waited for his daughter to show him those pills. "Here, I don''t know what these pills are but he called them ''Advance Essence Pills''," Soon, Keshe gave all three pills to her father and she intentionally didn''t say the effect of these pills to her father. "Th...these pills are making me drool. Did he say what these are used for?" Even though something in his mind was saying him to swallow those pills, Geron controlled his urge because it was a gift given to her daughter and moreover, his intuition said to him that these pills were very beneficial to the spirit beasts. "Aren''t you a great appraiser in the entire Zrochester province? Even the royal family''s old cultivatorse to you to appraise the items," Keshe covered her mouth as she giggled and didn''t give an answer to her father''s question. ''...'' Geron was speechless at her daughter''s words as he shook his head and used his appraising techniques to find out more about the pills in his hands. "What" It took him a few moments to appraise the pills; however, he was shocked when he got to know the true value of the pills. ''Hehe'' Keshe continued to giggle when she noticed her father''s expressions. "Keshe, these pills are more valuable than I thought," Geron suppressed his shock as he put on a king''s air around him as he replied to her daughter''s giggle. "I know. So, you can choose two spirit beasts with good talent and give these to them as for thest pill, you can consume it for yourself and if you are lucky, you can awaken a powerful skill, father," Keshe stoppedughing and said her thoughts to Geron which made him frown. "You need to have one pill, Keshe. These pills can do wonders. I know what you are thinking but still, you need to consume it," Geron sighed at her daughter''s thinking as he replied to her. Keshe''s n was to have more re-cultivated spirit beasts in their kingdom which would make their kingdom powerful. Since her father was the strongest one in the kingdom, even if he awakened any normal skill, it might be very helpful to their kingdom. So, he asked him to consume one pill while giving the other two to some other spirit beasts. "Okay, father. I am going to start my re-cultivation process. So, don''t disturb me for the next couple of days," Keshe didn''t wait for her father to give his reply before rushing back to her cultivation spot. "Brave, let''s start the re-cultivation process," After reaching the cultivation spot, Keshe said to the dark lion king who was waiting for her until now. "Okay," Brave nodded his head as walked into the circle along with her. "Uncle Ceru, activate the barrier," Since the re-cultivation process was a very sensitive thing, it should not be disturbed by anyone. So, she asked her uncle to activate a barrier that would block even the smallest sound from outside the circle. "Get ready," Her uncle was waiting for her words and as soon as he heard them, Ceru activated the barrier before standing guard for Keshe and the dark lion king. Inside the barrier, Keshe turned into her spirit beast form which was not much different from her human form. In her current form, she had two huge green coloured butterfly wings which slowly wrapped her into a cocoon. As for the Dark lion king, ck coloured energy came out of his body which made its mane open like an umbre before increasing the umbre shaped mane around its neck Within a few moments, the entire body of the dark lion king was wrapped by its ck coloured mane. ''I hope, everything goes well and they be as strong as her brother,'' Keshe''s uncle Ceru, who was outside the barrier muttered to himself as he looked at them. ¡­. ''She cares about my territory so much that she even gives all the good items give got for others...sigh,'' After Keshe rushed away from him, the forest fairy king sighed at the unconditional love for his kingdom. ''It is good but one should know that using the cultivation resources for himself too; otherwise, to whom who are giving resources will overthrow you from your territory,'' Geron lived for thousands of years and experienced so much in his life. From a normal fairy without any bloodline or cultivation talent, he endured many sufferings and from time to time fortuitous events, he was able to reach his current position. So, he knew the value of each and every cultivation resource. So, when he saw how his daughter was very careless about the cultivation resources that could bring bloodbath, he could not help but sigh. ''I should find a strong husband for her. So, that even with her carelessness, someone will protect her,'' Finally, after thinking for a while, Geron came to a conclusion; however, he soon rejected that thought as he remembered something. ''I think, I should better let her brother find a good husband for her from that ce. That ce will have more strong cultivators,'' Thinking about his son, Geron unconsciously smiled from ear to ear because his son made him very proud and even the king of spirit beasts from the inner section of the cursed wilderness praised his son for his achievement at such a young age. ''Coming to these three pills, I and Ceru will consume each one and as for thest time, I can use it to bargain something from the king of the spirit beasts,'' The forest fairy king thought about it very carefully and finally came to a decision of exchanging thest pill with the king of the entire cursed wilderness. Chapter 658: Sewards trial

Chapter 658: Seward''s trial

Unlike Keshe, the forest fairy king knew how to bring out the best use of these pills. Currently, in his territory, only he and his brother Ceru were the strongest ones and below him, there were four fairy guardians and 10 fairy generals who had their own army of around 1000 normal fairies. Over, it was a decent force to have. However, his force was nowhere near to the top sects of the Zrochester province much less that of the royal family. But the thing was even the royal family feared to wage war against them because Geron had the backing of the king of the spirit beasts. ''The king of the spirit beasts already had a good impression on me and my son. With the help of this pill, not only I can get a good cultivation resource in return but I could be a little closer to him,'' ''As soon as Keshe re-cultivates, I and Ceru can swallow this pill and then give it the king of the spirit beasts,'' With that thought in his mind, Geron smiled as he stored the three pills inside his storage ring. Even though no human force didn''t dare to attack them that didn''t mean one of the spirit beasts under the king of the spirit beasts might attack his territory. So, he didn''t dare to consume the pill yet and waited for Keshe to finish her re-cultivation process. .... In the secret realm named Eternal Garden, All the young cultivators were taking rest and waited for Elder Ramon to announce the start of the next trial. As for the vagrant cultivators, they were discussing something with serious faces; however, from time to time they revealed smiling faces. "Everyone, let''s start the next trial," Soon, Elder Ramon came towards the younger generation and announced the next trial. "The next trail will be conducted by our ''The Revered Protector, Elder Seward. So, I will be taking rest," After finishing his words, Elder Ramond waved his hands at the young cultivators before going back to the other vagrant cultivators. At the same time, Elder Seward walked towards Ajax and others with a slight smile on his face. "Let''s not waste any more time and directly start the trial," Elder Seward didn''t waste any time as he directly started exining the trial to Ajax and others, "Do you see the bridge over there?" While asking that, he pointed his finger to the distant sky. "Yes, Elder Seward," Ajax and others saw there was a bridge that waspletely made up of green vines connecting a huge tree to the peak of a mountain. After seeing that, all of them nodded their heads. "Good" Elder Sewards nodded his head as he continued, "You just have to climb that huge tree and cross the bridge to reach the peak of the mountain. Moreover, there is a good reward waiting for the peak of the?mountain." In the beginning, they felt the trial uninteresting; however, when they heard the words ''Good reward'', their eyes sparkled and all of a sudden they started nning their trial on how to reach the peak of the mountain first. "However, there is one more important thing," Elder Seward took some wooden statues out of thin air and tossed them at the young cultivators and continued, "You need to hold this wooden statue in your hand throughout the trial." "What?" Ajax and others became a little puzzled but didn''t say anything as they nodded their heads. Since it was a trial, they needed to follow all the rules in that trial. So, withoutining, all the young cultivators agreed to it. "Okay then. Let''s start the trial," Elder Seward didn''t bother about the young cultivators as he returned to the other vagrant cultivators. ''Let''s go,'' ''I wonder what that good reward is,'' ''I am getting that reward for sure,'' Even though their cultivation was lesspared to Levi and Paulin, most of the young cultivators didn''t lose hope after seeing what happened in the earlier trial. Without evening trying, Lewis and Jeff won the trial and directly became the personal disciples of Elder Elek. ''I wonder what is the actual purpose of this trial,'' Ajax looked at the wooden statue in his hands and then looked at the huge tree and the mountain which were connected by the bridge of green vines. After the two trials, Ajax understood that in every trial the vagrant cultivators were testing them in one particr aspect. So, he wondered about that aspect of this trial. With that thought in his mind, he casually walked towards the huge tree while carefully observing the wooden statue in his left hand. ''The design is exquisite and looks like some worked very hard to make it,'' The wooden statue looked like a knight donned in full body armour and with a huge sword in his hands. Looking at it, Ajax was impressed by its design. ''Ding, The host has entered a forbidden region with a forbidden item. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness along with all his skills and battle prowess will be sealed. "What?" Seeing the system notifications, Ajax was shocked as he looked at the huge tree in front of him and then looked at the six vagrant cultivators, who were smiling from ear to ear. ''What happened?'' ''Why am I feeling weak all of a sudden?'' ''Is this some kind of trick, huh?'' ''Please tell me, it is only temporary,'' It was not only Ajax, all the young cultivators felt their spirit consciousness being sealed; however, unlike Ajax, they didn''t have a system to inform them about the reason behind the sealing of the spirit consciousness. "Everyone, don''t worry. It is only a temporary seal and it is to make all the young cultivators equal in their cultivation," Just like Ajax, all the young cultivators looked at the vagrant cultivators. So, Elder Seward replied to them to ease their feeling regarding the seal in their spirit consciousness. "Phew" Hearing those words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief as they started focusing on the trial. "Let''s see," Ajax also started the trial by climbing the tree. ''Huh? Why is this trial making me feel uneasy?'' After climbing half of the huge tree, Ajax felt something was not right and looked at other participants who were also climbing just like him. Unlike him, they looked half-tried. So, Ajax slowed down his speed and waited for others to go first. Not because he was feared of the difficulties of the trial, he just didn''t want to be the highlight of the young cultivators. ''Uff..uff'' Soon, Ajax started acting like the other young cultivators who were gasping for air as they tried to climb the huge tree with much difficulty and stopped at the middle of the huge tree. ''Just a little,'' ''Nooo'' Just when they were about to reach the top of the huge tree, Snowstorm from Edmond''s nine adopted children slipped her hand and started falling down. ''Aargh'' While she was still in the mid-air, she started screaming because without her cultivation she could not save herself from the fall of this height. ''Am I going to die this early?'' ''I didn''t even take revenge on them for killing my family?'' Various thoughts shed through her mind as she lost all hope. Chapter 659: Love Interest?

Chapter 659: Love Interest?

Snow storm had some important things she had to do in her life that made her feel even sadder. For some reason, she even forgot that she might be saved by the vagrant cultivators. ''Got you,'' However, while she was in the mid-air, someone caught her hand. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, all the lost hope had returned to her as she hurriedly opened her eyes to see ''the prince charming'' that saved her. ''A...Ajax,'' It was Ajax who caught her by her waist that made Snow storm unconsciously blush as she muttered Ajax''s name. Currently, she was seeing Ajax in a totally different lightpared to before and she continued to stare at his handsome face. "Just a moment...let''s get down," After catching her, Ajax slowly started climbing down. ''Ding, The host cultivation is unsealed along with his spirit consciousness. Now, you can use all your skills and techniques. Just as he climbed down a couple of meters, he received the system notification that made him a little puzzled; however, currently, he was not thinking about anything and directly jumped from the huge tree. ''Thud'' Since his cultivation was returned, he didn''t feel anything even when he jumped from a height of 50 meters. ''You can get down now,'' Ajax looked at Snow storm who was staring at him with a blushed face and kept her on the ground before removing his hand from around her waist. "Thank you, Ajax," After calming herself down, Snow storm wholeheartedly thanked Ajax. ''Oh no,'' All of a sudden, her eyesnded on the wooden statue in her hands and she was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why did you save Ajax by tossing away your wooden statue? If you didn''t save me, Elder Seward would have saved me...sigh." She was anxious because the reason for Ajax''s failure in this trial would be her. The thing is when he caught her, he tossed away the wooden statue in his hands which made him officially out of the trial. Also, it was the reason his spirit consciousness had unsealed which was just noticed by Ajax. ''I don''t know why but I could not help but save you,'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as he replied to her question before shaking his head. ''...'' These words made her blush even more as she didn''t know what to speak anymore as he just stood there silently. "Since you have still has the statue in your hands, why don''t you try the trial once again," After staying silent for a moment, Ajax looked at the wooden statue and asked her to re-try the trial. Ajax was sure that Snow storm was still in the trial because her cultivation was still sealed. So, he asked her to continue the trial. ''Huh?'' Her head was filled with the thoughts of Ajax. So, she was unable to think about other things. However, when he saw Ajax''s words, he looked at the wooden statue in her hands and then looked at the top of the huge tree. "Sigh¡­I don''t think I can do it," Snow storm shook her head and before Ajax could say anything she threw the wooden statue in her hand which made her spirit consciousness unsealed. "I can''t say anything to change your mind," Ajax wanted to motivate her in re-trying the trial once again; however, now she was officially out of the trial. Snow storm didn''t say anything as she knew even if she tried she would definitely fall from the huge tree once again. "Even if I try, I can''tplete the trial. So, I tossed the wooden statue," She tried to exin herself thinking that she might have created a bad impression on herself. "It''s alright! But, when you give your best, you never know what will happen. So, from the next time, do your best," Ajax revealed a slight smile as asked her to give her best when doing things in the future. "Sure...sure" Snow storm revealed a beautiful smile as she nodded her head. When he saw the beautiful smile on her face, Ajax just started for a moment before hurriedly turning his head to the other side. "Ajax, Snow,e here," Amidst the silence between Ajax and Snow storm, Edmond''s voice called them towards him. ''Yes, Captain,'' ''Yes, Father,'' Ajax and Snow storm hurriedly rushed towards Edmond and Udo, who was sitting under a huge tree along with the unconscious Lewis and Jeff. ''Sorry, father. I failed the trail,'' As soon as they went near Edmond and Udo, Snow storm hurriedly apologized to him regarding the trial. "Silly girl, why are apologizing to me? It''s alright," Edmond patted Snow storm as he said it''s alright. "Actually, I am proud of you, little girl," After patting her, Edmond revealed a proud look on his face that made both Snow storm and Ajax raised their brows. "Haha...why are you looking at me? I am not talking about your blushes from earlier," Edmond startedughing as he continued, "I am talking about your fear of heights." ''Nods'' After hearing his words, Ajax and Snow storm''s expressions became normal. Earlier when they were talking, both Ajax and Snow storm blushed while talking with each other. So, when they heard Edmond''s words and rted to his facial expressions, they thought he was talking about them; however, when Edmond exined it to them, they nodded their heads for a moment before bing embarrassed with his starting words. "Huh? Fear of heights?" However, after some time, Ajax asked about it as he looked at Snow storm. "That''s right. She has the fear of heights and whenever she is at a certain height, she can''t think properly and I think it must have happened when she was nearing the top of the huge tree," Edmond exined as he looked at his adopted daughter feeling proud that she tried her best despite the fact she had the fear of heights. ''Oh'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt embarrassed recalling his earlier advice to her. "Snow, just forget my earlier advice," Nevertheless, he quickly recovered from that embarrassment and asked her to forget it. ''Hehe'' When she heard Ajax''s words, Snow storm could not help but giggle. Once again, Ajax''s mind nked at her smile as he hurriedly turned his head fearing that someone might notice him staring at her. As he didn''t have much contact with the girls from his childhood, he didn''t know how to maintain his calm in front of a beautiful girl like Snow storm. ''If you two havepleted your talk, let''s watch the trial, shall we?'' All of a sudden, Edmond asked them to sit down to watch the trial. ''Yes'' Ajax hurriedly nodded his head and sat beside Edmond as soon as possible. ''Calm down...Ajax. Calm down,'' However, after he sat down, Snow storm also sat down beside Ajax making him flustered. Until now, there was some distance between them; however, she was so close to him that made his heartbeat anxiously. Just like Ajax, Snow storm was flustering from time to time. ''This is the first time, Snow storm acting this way,'' Edmond looked at Snow silently thought in his head with a slight smile on his face. Chapter 660: Illusion Inducing Green Snakes

Chapter 660: Illusion Inducing Green Snakes

As for the trial, the remaining twelve participants were trying their best to get that good reward that Elder Seward had mentioned. Currently, almost all the participants had reached the top of the huge tree and stood on a t branch. The end of the branch was connected to the peak of a mountain with green vines like a bridge. ''Can that vine carry me?'' ''I think, even a small mistake will cost our life,'' ''I think, the six vagrant cultivators will save us but we can never be sure,'' Even though they could see the vines, all the participants were hesitating to use them to reach the bridge. When they saw those vines before climbing the huge tree, they thought they were strong enough to carry them; however, now, they were feeling they would not withstand their weight. ''I will try it,'' Soon, Moon shadow came forward to use the vine to reach the mountain that made all other male cultivators awkward. Because they felt a female is trying without any fear and they were still hesitating whether to cross or not. ''I will do it,'' ''Yes,'' ''Vagrant cultivators will not let us die as simple as that, right?'' After seeing Moon shadow''s courage, all the other participants decided to continue the trial. ''Huh?'' This vine is stronger than I thought, Once they held the vine, they were shocked at the vine''s stiffness and soon, they felt excited and started increasing the speed. With a wooden statue in their hands, they continued to move forward. ''I need to get the reward,'' ''I am ahead of others. So, I will be definitely getting that reward,'' All the young cultivators thought the same that they were ahead of others. "Huh? Why are they just hanging on the vine instead of moving forward?" However, from Ajax''s perspective, all the young cultivators were just at the starting of the vine without moving forward which made him ask Edmond. ''Yes, why are they not moving?'' Even Edmond also frowned at the actions of the young cultivators as he carefully observed what was happening to them. "Illusion inducing green snakes" All of a sudden, Edmond muttered with a shocked expression. ''Huh?'' Ajax focused and searched for the snake on them and soon he found small green coloured snakes on the wooden statues which were slithering at the participants. "Huh? Where are they?" However, Snow storm was unable to see the snakes as her senses were not powerful enough to see such a small snake from such a distance. "You need at least a general realm cultivator''s senses to that snake," Edmond replied to her as he continued to exin, "It is a rare species that had gone extinct in the Zrochester province in thest 100 years. I didn''t expect Elder Ramon had them in his secret realm." Illusion inducing snakes as the name suggests they release some poison that makes others fall into a deep illusion. ''System, show me the full information on this illusion inducing snake,'' While Edmond was saying something to Snow storm, Ajax tried to know more about those snakes with that intention, he asked the system to help him. ''Ding, Need to pay 1000 units of the essence of energy to know about it. Do you want to know about it? "Yes" Ajax was not surprised that the system asked for his essence of energy because he was very far away from the system to know more about it. So, he had to use the ''Pay to Know'' system feature. And 1000 units of the essence of nature was not much for him these days. So, he nodded his head to know about the snake. ''Ding, 1000 units of the essence of nature are deducted. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Illusion inducing snake Strength:- Rank 4 Speciality:-?can induce an illusion to anyone when they are not focused on it. Depending on the strength of the cultivators, they will stay in those illusions. "So, what will happen to them? Will the vagrant cultivators continue to watch them be crazy?" While Ajax was using the system to know more about it, Snow storm slowly asked Edmond. "Actually,pared to strength, as long as their will is strong enough, they coulde out of the illusion soon," Edmond was not worried much as he knew some information about those snakes which he said to his adopted daughter. "Oh" Snow storm nodded her head and continued to observe them and from time to time she nced at Ajax. ''Ramon, your illusion inducing snakes are very nice. Why don''t you give me one or two? I will take good care of it,'' ''Yes, Ramon. Even though it doesn''t have much battle prowess, once it reached the rank 6 realm, it could even induce illusion to a peak elite general realm cultivator,'' Except for the guild master and Sandra, the remaining vagrant cultivators asked Ramon to gift them an illusion inducing snake. ''In your dreams? I have to use half of my resources for their growth and ording to me only one of them will reach rank 6 and I don''t know which one from all the 100 snakes I currently have in my secret realm,'' After hearing their words, Elder Ramon revealed a bitter look on his face as he replied to them. Ramon is titled with the Eternal Nurturer for a reason. He had various techniques to nurture any nt or spirit beasts. In his secret realm, he had a variety of nts, trees, herbs and spirit beasts. Moreover, back in the days, in the entire Zrochester province, Ramon was known as the most knowledgable person about nts and spirit beasts. So, among all the six vagrant cultivator''s secret realms, Ramon''s secret realm, the Eternal garden was the most valuable one. ''Fine; however after you get one rank 6 illusion inducing snake, give each of us a snake. Don''t worry, in return, we will give you something,'' Seward, Elek and Esmund, all know about Ramon''s way of thinking. So, they decided to give something in return for the snake and even that only after one of the snakes reached rank 6. ''Of course,'' Ramon nodded his head with a hearty smile on his face and looked at the participants. ''Look, some came out of the illusion,'' All of a sudden, Ramon looked at the participant that came out of the illusion and asked others to see it. "What is this short cultivator''s name?" Except for Ajax, Levi, Paulin, Lewis and Jeff, they didn''t know the names of other cultivators. So, Elder Seward asked about his name. "His name is Dark me," Edmond replied to Elder Seward with a smile on his face. "Not bad, not bad," Elder Seward nodded his head and didn''t say anything more while continuing to watch the participants. Soon, one cultivator after another came out of the illusion which made Elder Seward and others shocked as they didn''t expect these young cultivators to have such strong will power. ''Looks like we will going to take all of?them as our disciples,'' Nevertheless, Elder Seward and others soon recovered from their shock and Elder Seward jokingly said that his inner thoughts about the young cultivators to the other vagrant cultivators. Chapter 661: Forger of Essences, Esmund

Chapter 661: Forger of Essences, Esmund

When the other vagrant cultivators heard about Edmond and the young cultivators with him, they didn''t think much and decided to conduct some trials to take the disciples who had an affinity with their cultivation techniques, ideals and other things. Actually, for the disciple selection ceremony, Edmond''s nine adopted children along with Ajax, Lewis, Paulin and Jeff were the participants that the guild master was chosen; however,ter, Justice, Levi and Neil were also given a chance to participate in the trials. After seeing that there were 16 participants in total, the vagrant cultivators thought only half of them would be chosen by them. But after evaluating till now, they felt everyone would be selected. ''Looks like it,'' Elder Ramon nodded his head as he agreed to what Elder Seward had said. ''Let''s pick the disciples after thepletion of all trials,'' Elder Elek said to the other vagrant cultivators who were also in agreement with his words. ''Until then, I have an interesting thing to pass the time. Do you want to hear it?'' Soon afterpleting that discussion, Elder Ramon asked Sandra and other vagrant cultivators including the guild master. ''You want us to bet us on who willplete the trial first, right?'' Before Elder Ramon could say what that interesting thing was, Elder Sandra, scoffed at him as she stopped bothering about him before looking back at the trial. ''Let''s leave her. She is always like that. What about you?'' Elder Ramon was neither surprised nor shocked at Elder Sandra''s attitude as he got used to it and asked others. "I ce my bet on Dark me," Elder Esmund said after ncing at the young cultivators. "Hmm...my choice will be Levi," Elder Sewards gave his option. Elder Elek and the guild master shook their heads and stopped bothering with them before moving some distance away from them. "Good...I will be cing my bet on Kind mantis," Elder Ramon unconsciously revealed a smile and said an unexpected name that made both Elder Esmund and Elder Seward raise their brows. However, they didn''t say anything and continued to watch the trial. At the other end, Ajax and others were also watching with an interesting look on their faces. "I got the reward," It didn''t take much time before one of the young cultivators reached the peak of the mountain and found a small box. As soon as he found the box, he started shouting with great excitement that made the other young cultivators disappoint. Nevertheless, after thinking that he was one of them, that didn''t bother them as they felt happy for him. "Since I won the bet, you two owe me one now," At the same time, Elder Ramon was very happy as he said to the two vagrant cultivators who ced their bets earlier. ''What? He is the King mantis?'' ''How do you know his name?'' ''You are absolutely cheating,'' ''That''s right! This is your secret realm and of course even if you cheated we could not notice it,'' Elder Seward and Elder Esmund retorted back at Elder Ramon''s words before going away from Elder Ramon. ''If you didn''t want to keep your word, then just don''t give me anything but don''t you dare nder me,'' Elder Ramon scoffed at the two elders and didn''t bother to argue with them as he knew how to get back the things they owe him. ... "Everyone did their best and I was impressed by your will power; however, one of you can have the reward. So, better luck next time," Soon, Elder Seward moved towards the young cultivators and with a wave of his hands, he brought all of them from the mountain peak to the normal ground where every vagrant cultivators were standing. At the same time, he motivated the young cultivators with his words. "Elder Seward...there is nothing inside the box," While Elder Seward was motivating the young cultivators, Kind mantis silently opened the small box; however, there was nothing inside it that made him ask the Elder Seward. ''What?'' All the remaining participants were shocked by Kind mantis'' word and looked at the opened box in his hands. "Haha...no need to worry," Elder Sewardughed a little before saying, "Actually, I didn''t put any reward in the small box because I didn''t know who will win in my trial." "Then the great reward¡­.," "I am guessing that you have talent in short des. So, I will give you a pair of short swords," Before King mantis could finish his words, Elder Seward took out a pair of green coloured short swords and tossed them at Kind mantis. ''Heaven grade weapons?'' Ajax who was watching from the sideline muttered in a low voice when he looked at the two short swords. "Heaven grade?" Kind mantis was shocked to the core as he felt the power of the swords in his hands and unconsciously muttered. ''What?'' Except for Ajax and Levi, everyone felt they missed a great reward and they were excitedly waiting for the next trial to start. So that they could win in that trial and get a good reward. "Everyone, no need to show the shocked looks on your faces. As long as you give your best, even if you don''t win in the trial, you might be the disciple of a vagrant cultivator," Elder Ramon slowly walked towards the young cultivators as he said to them before looking back at Elder Esmund and continued saying, "Now, the next trial will be hosted by Elder Esmund." After finishing his words, Elder Ramon along with Elder Seward left the young cultivators to Elder Esmund. "Until now, I am satisfied with all of your performances. I hope you give your best in my trial too," Elder Esmund started his talking as he continued, "As my name suggests, I? am very proficient in forging materials. So, the trial will be rted to it." ''Sigh...I am not interested in it from the beginning and didn''t learn much about it,'' ''Looks like I might be not giving my best in this trial,'' ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Almost all the young cultivators were depressed the moment they heard Elder Esmund''s words and felt this trial was not meant for them. In the Zrochester province, professions like Alchemy and Forging were considered as good professions and at the same time, they were very rare. In this province, one could learn these professions by only three things. One, they have to be lucky and be a disciple of a master who had some significant rank like rank 3 or rank 4 and where rank 4 was the highest level any cultivator could reach in the Zrochester province. Two, to give as many spirit stones to a rank 2 alchemist or rank 2 forging master to learn their crude techniques. Three, which was almost impossible and only happened a couple of times in the Zrochester province. It was to get enlightened by the heavens into these professions. So, many of the young cultivators didn''t focus on these professions as it required time and resources and even then there was no guarantee that they could learn these professions. ''Finally, it''s my time to prove myself,'' While all the cultivators looked depressed, one of them looked excited as he waited for Elder Esmund to finish his words. Chapter 662: Common Hammer?

Chapter 662: Common Hammer?

The young man was none other than one of Edmond''s adopted children, Dark me. Compared to other young cultivators, Dark me had a very high affinity with the fire element which made him learn some good fire techniques which help him in forging or alchemy. To him, alchemy was a mystery. Also, he had a huge impact on forging after seeing someone forge a weapon in front of his eyes. However, he didn''t use the first two things to learn the forging; instead, whenever he got time, he would just perform the set of movements that the forging master did from his childhood and wanted to get enlightened. Later with the help of Edmond, he studied some books rting to that and had gained some knowledge but he was still not close to bing a rank 1 forging master. ''As long as I prove my interest in the profession, I might get the chance of bing Elder Esmund''s disciple,'' Looking at Elder Esmund, who was the Zrochester province''s number one forging master and thought in his head. ''Before the six vagrant cultivators disappeared, Elder Esmund was at peak rank 4 forging master. I wonder whether he had a breakthrough and reached rank 5 or not?'' Moreover, he started guessing Elder Esmund''s rank in forging materials. "So, let''s not waste any more time with the talking and start the trial," Soon, Elder Esmund took out 14 simr looking hammers along with ck metal blocks from his storage ring. "In this trial, there are not many rules and regtions. All you have to do is to hit the metal block as many times as possible," After tossing the hammers and metal blocks in front of the young cultivators, Elder Esmund continued, "The one who hits the more number of hits on the metal block will be getting a good reward." After finishing his words, Elder Esmund didn''t stay there any longer as he returned to the other vagrant cultivators to discuss about the young cultivators. ''Looks like I can try my best in this trial,'' ''I thought, he would ask us to create some weapon or artifact. Since it is just hitting the metal, I can try it out,'' ''I think, if we win in this trial, the Elder Esmund might even take us as his personal disciple and teach us all his forging techniques,'' ''Right! Just like how Elder Elek took Lewis and Jeff,'' After getting the information about the trial, the earlier depressed looks on the young cultivators'' faces turned into exciting looks. Earlier, they felt the trial would be difficult; however, with Elder Esmund''s clear exnation regarding the trial, they felt they could try their best. ''Since the one who hits the metal block more number of times is going to win, then isn''t the cultivator with high cultivation going to have an advantage over us?'' ''Sigh...I hope Elder Esmund must have taken this into consideration while giving us this trial,'' However, some young cultivators looked at Levi and Paulin who had the cultivations of the elite general realm and general realm respectively and whispered to one another. Everyone including the vagrant cultivators, Edmond, Udo and all the young cultivators knew the cultivation of Levi and Paulin. So, they felt the trial might be advantageous to them because this trial is rted to strength. Nevertheless, they didn''t bother much about it as they felt that the vagrant cultivators knew what they were doing. Soon, the young cultivators started their trial by picking a ck hammer. However, there was one young cultivator, whose facial expression changed from excited to shocked. ''Sigh...I have to forget about everything and try my best,'' Dark me shook his head as he started the trial without wasting any time. "Nice hammer," As for Ajax, he casually picked the ck hammer in front of him and carefully observed it. ''Ding, Item name:- Common forging hammer. Grade:- Mortal Description:- A rank 1 hammer that is used for the forging process. ''Huh?'' However, after seeing that information about the hammer through the system, Ajax felt how such a nice hammer is only amon forging hammer. Actually, when Ajax picked up the ck hammer, Ajax felt like he was holding a living thing. So, when he saw there were no effects of the hammer, he felt something was not right and checked the halographic screen once again. ''Ding, Grade:- Mortal (Sealed) ''As I expected, there is something wrong with the hammer,'' After checking the halographic screen once again, he noticed ''Sealed'' beside the word ''Mortal'' in very small words making it impossible to see if he was not careful. ''I wonder, what it''s true grade is,'' Ajax started wondering in his mind about the original grade of the ck hammer. Weapons or artifacts are ssified into Mortal, Earth, Heaven, legendary grades. Currently, the ck hammer was at its lowest grade. ''Ding, Do you want to unseal it? While Ajax was thinking about it in his mind, he received a system notification that made him pause his actions of hitting the metal block. ''Huh? How can I unseal it?'' Aja didn''t agree to the system because he didn''t have any ns to unseal it because it would create too much attention from the vagrant cultivators. So, instead of directly unsealing it, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The weak will of the ck hammer show its interest in the host. So, with just a thought from the host will unseal the seal ced on it. ''What?'' With the system''s reply, Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect it and looked at the ck hammer in his hands and thought, ''So, you are a low-level heaven grade weapon.'' With even unsealing the seal from the ck hammer, Ajax was able to tell the grade of the ck hammer. When ites to weapons, they have their own will when they were in heaven grade, a soul will be formed when they reached legend grade. So, Ajax was able to say that it was a low-level heaven grade weapon after seeing the words of ''low will''. After learning how to unseal the seal from the ck hammer, Ajax started thinking of what he should do. ''I guess, I will wait for? sometime before unsealing it,'' After much thinking, he decided to unseal it as he wanted to see how powerful this ck hammer could be. ''Wait a second,'' All of a sudden, a thought shed in his mind as he froze in his actions. ''So, all these 14 ck hammers are low-level heaven grade weapons?'' Soon, he turned his head to see the ck hammers in the hands of the other participants, who were using them asmon ck hammers. ''If top sects and families knew that they were using heaven grade hammer like amon hammer, they would be crazy,'' Ajax muttered in his mind as he turned to look at the vagrant cultivators and thought, ''He even changed the name of the hammer to ''Common hammer''. Looks like they live up to their name.'' Ajax''s interest in them increased and at the same time, he thought he would find the materials he needed from them. ''As long as I find a mid-level upgrade stone along with sess stone, I can upgrade the ''Seal breakingpass,'' With that thought in his mind, he continued hitting the metal block with the hammer.'' Chapter 663: Becoming the target

Chapter 663: Bing the target

Since Elder Esmund had taken out 14 low-level heaven grade hammers, Ajax felt that he must have middle-level upgrade stones and sess stones. So, he was excited as he saw some hope in upgrading the ''Seal breakingpass'' within less time. ''ng'' ''nk'' Soon, along with other young cultivators, Ajax started hitting the metal block with the sealed hammer. ''I will wait for sometime before unsealing it,'' Ajax felt that unsealing the hammer after someone did that or at the end of the trial before giving up the trial. So, he thought to wait for some time as he continued the hitting process. ''Swoosh'' Just a few moments after starting the trial, the ck hammer in Dark me''s hands started glowing and all of a sudden the previousmon-looking ck hammer turned into an exquisite hammer. ''Huh?'' Dark me felt the hammer in his hands be lighter and at the same time, his speed at which he was hitting the metal increased by many times making all the other participants stop what they were doing. ''I feel like I can hit this metal block forever,'' Dark me didn''t stop hitting the metal block; instead, he increased his speed and continued to hit the metal block. ''Hey, what is happening to Dark me''s hammer?'' ''It looks great,'' ''Is there something we have to do in order to make our ck hammers turn into an exquisite one?'' All the young cultivators looked at the hammers in their hands and then looked at the exquisite hammer in Dark me''s hands and muttered to themselves. They felt there was something that they needed to do to make themon looking hammer into an exquisite hammer; however, they were unable to find what it was. ''Maybe, I should just hit the metal block and it will automatically be an exquisite hammer after some time,'' Everyone thought the same thing in their minds before continuing their hammering. ''Esmund looks like you already found a personal disciple,'' ''If you want, you can directly take him as your disciple,'' Just like young cultivators, the vagrant cultivators were also surprised that one of the participants would unseal the hammer just after a few moments and they directly asked Elder Esmund to pick Dark me as his personal disciple. ''Sure,'' ording to their original n, they had to wait until all the trials werepleted; however, when there was a participant, you showed excellent performance in any trial. And at the same time, if they have a good affinity with one of the six vagrant cultivator''s professions or techniques, then they could just take them as a personal disciple just like how Elder Elek took Lewis and Jeff as his personal disciples. So, after hearing that the other vagrant cultivators had no objections, Elder Esmund nodded his head. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Just as he nodded his head, the hammers in the hands of both Silver Goliath and Fearless Gori started glowing just like how the hammer in Dark me''s hands glowed. Simr to Dark me, both of them continued to hit the metal block because they felt more powerful and wanted to test their limits. ''ng'' ''nk'' ''What? Another two?'' While they continued to hit the metal block with full power, the six vagrant cultivators, who were already shocked by one hammer unsealing, received another shock. Because it was not even 15 minutes after the first unsealing and another two participants unsealed the hammer and used its full power to hit the metal. ''Excellent,'' Unlike other vagrant cultivators, Elder Esmund''s shock had turned into excitement as he watched two burly participants. ''Should I take those two as my disciples too?'' Soon, Elder Esmund suppressed his excitement and asked the other vagrant cultivators about it. ''Sigh¡­looks like it is your lucky day, Esmund,'' ''You can take them too; however, don''t forget to make them a great forging master just like you,'' ''Yes...and as long as we provide materials, they should be able to forge a peak level heaven grade items just like you,'' All the other vagrant cultivators sighed as they shook their heads and agreed to Elder Esmund''s words. Actually, there was a reason why the other vagrant cultivators didn''t bother fighting over them with Elder Esmund. Because they have to wait months or sometimes even years to get a weapon or artifact to be forged by Elder Esmund as there would be a queue. Even though he only forges weapons for the six vagrant cultivators, he would take months or years to forge the request ced by the other vagrant cultivators. Moreover, he also needs to cultivate. So, naturally, it would take time. And now, after seeing that there were three cultivators who had talent in forging appeared in front of them. So, of course, they would give those young cultivators to Elder Esmund. ''Looks like I can unseal it now,'' Ajax looked at the other participants for a while before finally deciding to unseal the hammer in his hands. Since there were already three participants who unsealed the hammers within a short time after the trial had started, Ajax felt there was nothing to worry about in unsealing the hammer. ''Unseal'' ''Swoosh'' With a thought, the hammer in his hands started glowing brightly which gave another surprise to everyone around him; however, after three shocks, they no longer felt much shock or surprise. After taking a look at the participant, the young cultivators went back to hitting the metal block hoping their chance woulde soon. However, the more they hit, the more tired they were and finally after a few moments, one by one started copsing onto the ground. ''Th...this is so good,'' As for Ajax, he didn''t have time to look at his surroundings; instead, he was focused on hitting the metal block with an excited look on his face just like Dark me and others. Just as he expected, the feeling after unsealing the hammer made him greatly excited. ''So, how about¡­.,'' ''We will not agree,'' ''We already gave you three personal disciples. So, it''s best to leave him forst,'' ''Yes, let''s leave that choice to the kid,'' Before Elder Esmund could say anything, all the other vagrant cultivators interrupted him as they disagreed with what he was about to say. Elder Esmund wanted to ask that he wanted to take Ajax as his personal disciples along with others who showed talent in forging; however, how could other vagrant cultivators agree to his request. For them, Ajax had a pure essence of nature along with more spirit consciousness capacitypared to others with the same cultivation realm.? So, of course, all the vagrant cultivators wouldpete for him. ''...'' Hearing their words, Elder Esmund became speechless as he shook his head and didn''t bother to ask them anymore. When multiple vagrant cultivators want the same participant as their personal disciple, then they have to entice the participant and make him willingly be their personal disciple. ''Let''s see,'' At the same time, all the vagrant cultivators got to know that Ajax had already be a target in the eyes of other vagrant cultivators, they looked at each other and nodded their heads with apetitive look on their face. Chapter 664: Black Osymx

Chapter 664: ck Osymx

Within no time, except for the four participants namely, Ajax, Dark me, Silver goliath and Fearless gori, were tired after continuously hitting the metal block with the sealed hammer. ''ng'' ''nk'' ''Ugh'' ''nk'' ''ng'' After 10 minutes, both Silver goliath and Fearless gori stopped hitting the metal block as they fell to the ground and started gasping for breath. ''Look like, I need to stop here,'' From time to time, Ajax kept his eyes on the other three participants and the moment they fell down, Ajax stopped hitting the metal block before gasping for breath. ''I like the feeling of using my full strength with the hammer,'' Ajax looked at Dark me and thought about his earlier feeling where he released his full power. ''I wonder, what material is that metal block is made up of with,'' Recalling his full power, Ajax wondered about the metal block on which there were only a couple of dents even after thousands of hits. ''Ding, Item name:- ck osymx Grade:- Mid-Heaven Use:- It is used in the forging of heavy shields and secret lockers. Description:- One of the strongest metal that could endure the full-powered punch from the elite general realm cultivator. Ajax was impressed by the description of the metal and silently stored the name of that metal in his mind. ''I wonder, where did he find that metal?'' Ajax was almost sure that these metal chunks were not from the Zrochester province because there were not enough pure essence of nature in the province that was needed for the formation of these types of metals. ''Looks like I need to ask him. But I don''t know how he will react,'' Ajax suppressed his curiosity for now and waited for the right time to ask his question. ''10000'' While Ajax was in his thoughts he heard a loud shout from the distance and hurriedly looked in that direction. There, Dark me waspletely covered in sweat as he shouted at the heavens before falling unconscious. ''What? He hit the ck osymx with the unsealed hammer 10000 times?'' Ajax and other young cultivators were shocked at the unconscious Dark me as they hurriedly came forward to check on it. "Don''t go near him. He is being enlightened by the heavens," Just as all the young cultivators took a couple of steps, they were stopped by some invisible force and in the next second, they heard Elder Esmund''s word. ''Wow...he is being enlightened,'' ''I wish I was that lucky too,'' ''You can always dream on but you will not...Haha,'' Edmond''s adopted children were very happy for Dark me and after a while, they started joking about their fellow brothers and sisters. "Ajax, are you okay?" However, Snow storm came towards Ajax and asked him whether he was okay or not. Ajax intentionally maintained a very tired look on his face which made Snow storm a little worried. "I...I am okay," Looking at the worried look on her face, Ajax stuttered a little as he replied to her. "Phew" Snow Storm heaved a sigh of relief and unconsciously looked at her father, who was also looking at her. ''Okay. I need to go now,'' With an embarrassed look on her face, she hurriedly moved away from there and mingled with her brothers. ''Huh? What happened to her?'' Ajax looked at her with a puzzled look on his face before shaking his head. "Everyone, let him leave there ande here," Elder Esmund walked away from Dark me before asking all the participants toe along with him. "Don''t be sad," Elder Esmund noticed the sad looks on the young cultivators who were unable to remove the seal from the hammer and asked them not to be sad. "Everyone has talent in different professions. So, you just have to find what is the right profession for you," "Coming to the trial, four participants have an affinity with forging; however, at the moment, I can only pick three of them as my personal disciples," Elder Esmund was not very excited when he said those words because he had to leave Ajax and had to pick the other three participants. ''Why am I feeling sad? I got a person disciple who was being enlightened with forging,'' However, looking at Dark me, Elder Esmund became excited as he continued, "The first three participants who removed the seal from the ck hammers will directly be my personal disciples." "If you two agree to be my personal disciples, then you can''t participate in further trials," Elder Esmund didn''t raise much suspicion when he intentionally left behind Ajax and asked Silver goliath and Fearless gori whether they would be his personal disciples or not. "I agree," Both Silver Goliath and Fearless Gori replied to Elder Esmund at the same time without any hesitation. "Good, you can go to your father and watch the remaining trials," Elder Esmund asked them to take a rest and all of a sudden he remembered, "By the way, don''t think I didn''t keep my promise about the reward forpleting the trial." ''Huh?'' Silver goliath and Fearless gori were totally forgotten about the reward from the trial because they thought Dark me would get the reward and moreover, bing the personal disciple of the greatest forging master, the forger of essences, Esmund was the biggest reward in their life. "All four participants can keep the ck hammers in your hands for yourself. It is your reward for unsealing it," Elder Esmund revealed a generous look on his face before looking at Elder Ramon and said, "You can start the next trial." After finishing his words, Elder Esmund left without bothering the young cultivators anymore. However, his earlier words about the rewards to the winners of the trial made all the young cultivators surprised. ''What? He just gifted them heaven grade weapons?'' ''As expected of the vagrant cultivators, they are very rich,'' ''Another three be the personal disciples, let''s give our best in thest two trials,'' Since there were 6 vagrant cultivators, they were expecting six trials. So far, they havepleted 4 trials and if they wanted to prove something, they only have two more trials. Those two trials would be conducted by Elder Ramon and the guild master. So, they were looking for them. "Everyone, it''s finally my turn to conduct a trial," Elder Ramon came flying towards them and revealed an excited look on his face. "Unlike other vagrant cultivators'' trials, my trial is more like a bonus trial for you to get as many cultivation resources as possible. So, listen carefully and don''t regret that you missed something with the trial," Elder Ramon didn''t give them any time as he continued, "I will throw you, 11 participants, into a herb garden and how many herbs you can pick from the herb garden is on your capability." ''What?'' ''The trial is in Elder Ramon''s herb garden?'' ''We can pick as many herbs as possible?'' When the young cultivators heard Elder Ramon''s words, they were both shocked and excited and looked for the trial. ''Huh? Looks like the trial is not as easy as he said,'' However, Ajax, Levi and a few other cultivators felt a bad premonition in their hearts; however, they felt it''s going to be a good trial. Chapter 665: Green Sprites

Chapter 665: Green Sprites

Ramon, the eternal nurturer, had many good things in his secret realm and from the perspective of the young cultivators, they could imagine many good herbs in his herb garden. ''As long as I get even one rank 4 herb, I can sell it for many spirit stones,'' This was themon thought in almost all the young cultivators. Unlike Ajax, they were the poor cultivators that rely mostly on Edmond for their cultivation resources. So, they thought to make some spirit stones and at the time, the more herbs they collected from the garden, the higher their chance would be for them to be the personal disciple of Elder Ramon. Then they don''t need to sell the herbs for spirit stones; instead, they could ask Elder Ramon to refine some pills for them. "One more important thing, the trial onlysts for three hours. So, be quick," While the young cultivators were in their own thoughts, Elder Ramon finished saying everything he wanted to say about the trial and after that, he simply waved his hands. ''Huh? What is happening?'' ''Why am I floating all of a sudden?'' ''But it feels good,'' All of a sudden, the 11 participants in the trial floated in the air which made them shocked, surprised and all other emotions appeared at the same time. However, they like that feeling. "Swoosh" ''Aargh'' ''What happened?'' ''Where are we going?'' As they were enjoying the feeling of floating in the mid-air, they started flying somewhere at an incredible speed that made him anxious as they looked at vagrant cultivators for help. However, all of them had smiles on their faces that made all the young cultivators shook their heads. This included Ajax too. Even though he flew even faster than this on the back of his contracted spirit beasts, this one made him a little anxious because they were flying through huge trees and even a small mistake by the vagrant cultivators would lead them to serious injuries. ''Thud'' Soon, they fell into a ce that was filled with various medicinal herbs with a thud sound. ''T..this ce...'' All the young cultivators including Levi and Ajax were shocked to see such a huge herb garden. The ce was very vast and it waspletely covered with medicinal nts of various grades starting from rank 2. ''Who calls this one as a herb garden? It is clearly a herb forest,'' ''Let''s not waste any time and collect some high ranking herbs,'' They were shocked at how big the herb garden was; however, they didn''t bother wasting time with the talk and soon started their collecting herbs missions. ''Looks like the collection here isparable to the top families from my province,'' Even Levi was shocked at the various types of nts in the herb garden before joining the other young cultivators. ''I need to pick as many herbs as possible,'' As for Ajax, he was very excited as he was in need of some herbs to prepare some pills. Seeing how big the herb garden was, Ajax was sure that he would find almost all the herbs he needed from here. ''I will go all out in this trial,'' Unlike the previous trials, Ajax decided to go on a collecting spree because he didn''t want to miss this chance of filling his inner world with various medicinal herbs. He didn''t want to sell them because he already had millions of spirit stones in his inventory and he just wanted to increase his sess rate while refining them with pills of all grades. ''I wonder what is Elder Ramon''s alchemist rank,'' Since he could nurture many herbs and nts, it was not a big deal to figure out that Elder Ramon was an alchemist; however, he didn''t what rank he was. Elder Ramon had never shown his alchemy skills in front of others except for his close friends and family. So, there was no news about his alchemy rank in the Zrochester province. ''Anyway, let''s pick the herbs,'' Ajax pushed all his thoughts aside and went to pick a herb that was near to him. ''Swoosh'' ''Stop it'' However, just when he was about to pick the herb, a small green coloured orb appeared in front of his hand. ''Huh? A green sprite?'' Ajax retracted his hand as he muttered the name of the green colour orb. He knows about the green sprites that were born from some rare nts that protect the nts from other beings. If they were helpless against the beings that wanted to forcefully take the nts, then they would destroy the nts themselves which in turn kills them too. So, Ajax hurriedly retracted his hands fearing that the green sprite might kill the herb behind it. ''Yes. I am one of the green sprites guarding this herb garden,'' A female voice came out of that orb and introduced itself to Ajax. "So, what should I do to get the herb?" Since he already knew about the green sprites, he tried negotiating with the green sprite in front of him. Earlier, he didn''t know that there would be green sprites guarding the medicinal herbs in the herb garden. So, he directly attempted to pick them but he didn''t take any risk now. ... Almost simr things were happening to other participants. They also know about the green sprite of the nts. So, with shocked faces, they asked the same thing Ajax asked the green sprite in front of him. "One more thing. If you destroy the three rank 2 herbs or two rank 3 herbs or a single rank 4 herb, you will be directly thrown out of the herb garden," After seeing the shocked looks on the young cultivators by the appearance of the green sprites from the nts, Elder Ramon exined thest and final rule of his trial. ''As we expected the trial is not easy,'' Soon, the young cultivators recovered from their shock and focused on negotiating with the green sprites. ¡­. ''What are you going to do with the nt?'' To Ajax''s question, the green sprite replied to him with a question. ''I want to refine some pills with it,'' Ajax was honest and replied to the green sprite without thinking much. ''Huh? So you are an alchemy master?'' The green sprite replied as though it was somewhat satisfied with the person who wanted to pick it up from the herb garden. "Yes," Ajax looked at the vagrant cultivators, who were very far away from the herb garden and nodded his head. "Okay then," The green sprite floated back to the nts andnded on a leaf before asking Ajax, "As long as you can see the 10 uses of this nt, I will allow you to pick it up." The green sprite was just a guardian materialized by the will power of the nts. They were formed due to various reasons and the main reason was because of the rich essence of nature in the herb garden. As for its condition to pick the herb from the herb garden was because it wanted to know whether Ajax was telling the truth or not as green sprites didn''t have the power to know whether a person was an alchemy master or not. Chapter 666: Rank 2 herb:- Knum

Chapter 666: Rank 2 herb:- Knum

To put it in simpler words, it was a test for Ajax whether he was an alchemy master or not. As long as he was even a rank 1 alchemy master, he could tell the uses of a rank 2 herbs. "Sure," When ites to the information of pants below rank, Ajax could say them as long as he knew the nt''s name. So, he looked at the rank 2 nt behind the green sprite. "nt name, Knum. Rank 2 medicinal herb," With a nce, Ajax was able to tell the nt name and closed his eyes to search for the uses of that particr nt. Ajax''s alchemy knowledge came from three things. First one, he assimted the alchemy king''s basic handbook which contained all the data of nts and herbs of rank 4 and below. The second one, he also used Mason''s family pill book which contained all the techniques and other nt-rted stuff in it. Lastly, the system sent the knowledge of all the nts of rank 4 and below into his head. So, as long as he calms his mind and searches through his memories, he could say almost anything about any nt. "One, it can be used in the mind-calming pills," "Favourite food of rank 3 spirit beast, Tiger devils, which help them control their insanity to some extent," .. .. .. .. "Last and the most important use of this rank 2 Knum, is the direct consumption which will clear all the thoughts and at the same time help the cultivators to focus on one single thing," Soon, Ajax opened his eyes and in a single breath, he gave said all 10 uses of the nt. "Correct...in fact, even I only know half of them" The green sprite replied with a surprised tone in its voice before saying, "You can take the nt." After finishing its words, the green sprite disappeared into thin air. ''Phew...it is easier than I thought,'' Seeing that, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he picked the nt from the ground and stored it in a special box to prevent the nt from dying. Ajax had many of those special boxes in which the lightning hawk tribe had delivered him the various nts. As long as the pants were stored in those boxes, they would be alive for a month. Currently, Ajax wanted to store nts in them and afterpletion of trial, he could transfer the collected nts into his inner world. ''Getting a rank 2 nt is easy. I will look for a rank 3 and rank 4 nts,'' With each increment in the grade of the nts, the value of the nts also increased by a huge margin. So, Ajax decided to go for rank 3 and rank 4. "Looks like he has a great talent in alchemy. I will take him as my personal disciple and make him a rank 5 alchemy master within 10 years," Even though Ajax thought the vagrant cultivators were unable to hear him from such arger distance, he was wrong. They were able to hear his words very clearly. So, after hearing his words and seeing his actions, Elder Ramon was excited as he hurriedly said to other vagrant cultivators. "Haha...stop joking Ramon. Earlier, he clearly showed the talent in forging. So, why didn''t you agree to me back then?" Elder Esmund was the first one to retort back to Elder Ramon as he brought the earlier words of Elder Ramon. "He also has an affinity with my soul rted techniques. So, how about I take him as my personal disciple?" Soon, Elder Elek joined the words war among the vagrant cultivators. "..." Elder Sandra looked at them wanting to say something; however, she shook her head and looked at the guild master, the leader of the vagrant cultivators. "Can you guys stop this child''s fight for a while and be serious?" The guild master was already feeling quite a headache because of their constant whispers and murmuring. After seeing that Elder Sandra was also supportive of him, he shouted at them and asked them to stop fighting. Hearing the guild master''s words, all of them became silent and looked at the guild master with embarrassed looks on their faces. "As we discussed earlier, Ajax will be given a chance to choose any one of us as his master. So, please wait until then or just pick other participants as your person disciples," After they became silent, the guild master reminded them about their earlier discussion before looking back at the distant herb garden. As for the other vagrant cultivators, they did the same thing and Elder Eagor didn''t bother about Ajax anymore as he searched for other participants to take them as his personal disciples. ''Sigh'' However, his luck was very bad that he was unable to find anyone that had talent in nt knowledge which made him sigh. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up yet and continued to see the participants. In the herb garden, "Damn it, why are these green sprites asking us such tough questions?" "I barely knew about this nt; however, the dark sprite guarding it asking me to give 10 uses of that nt," "At least, it is asking you its uses; however, for me, it is asking me into which nt it will evolve after rank 4," Unlike Ajax, they didn''t have much knowledge of nts which made them helpless in this trial. Moreover, they could not use force to pick the nt because the green sprite would destroy the nt. And if three rank 2 or two rank 3 or one rank 4 herb is destroyed, then they would be disqualified from the trial. So, they didn''t take any risk and continued to move from one nt to another hoping one of the dark sprites might ask them a simple question. "Yes...finally, I did it," Finally, after an hour or so, a female participant was able to gain a rank 2 herb and as soon as she did that she was unable to control her excitement and shouted out loud attracting the attention of everyone. "Snow storm used to study about nts whenever she was tired of training," "Yes, finally, that thing helped her in this trial," It was none other than Snow storm, who had developed feelings for Ajax just a while ago. However, her eight brothers and sister were not surprised by much because she had some knowledge about nts and herbs. So, they congratted her first before going back to their futile attempts of convincing the dark sprites to get nts or herbs from the herb garden. "She is not bad...if she picks another two herbs, I will take her as my personal disciple," After seeing Snow storm pick a rank 2 herb from the ground, Elder Ramon informed other vagrant cultivators. Even though Elder Ramon wanted to take some personal disciples, that doesn''t mean he could take anyone. In his view, picking one rank 2 herb didn''t mean the participant had talent in alchemy. So, he wanted to see whether she could pick another two rank 2 herbs or not. "Sure," When others heard Elder Ramon''s words, everyone nodded their heads and agreed. Chapter 667: Shadow Rosemary

Chapter 667: Shadow Rosemary

Until now, Snow storm didn''t show any significant skill apart from being part of the nine-men awakening. So, no other vagrant cultivators didn''t mind when Elder Ramon said he would take her as his personal disciple if she picks another two rank 2 herbs. ''Another rank 2 herb,'' As for Ajax, he was on a mission of collecting as many herbs as possible. Actually, he wanted to pick a rank 3 and rank 4 herbs from the herb garden; however, there were very few of them and at the same time, their conditions were too high that Ajax didn''t bother wasting his time on them. So, he started collecting a rank 2 herb for every 5 minutes and within thest one hour, he picked nearly 20 rank 2 herbs which made Elder Ramon''s heart bleed. ''How many does he want to pick?'' ''How can he has so much knowledge of these rare rank 2 herbs,'' ''Even I only go to know about them when I was in myte-twenties,'' Elder Ramon looked at Ajax from time to time as he silently thought in his head. Even though he was feeling he was losing too much, Elder Ramon didn''t show it on his face fearing that other vagrant cultivators would mock him. "Ramon, don''t feel sad. They are just rank 2 herbs and you can nurture them again," "Why are you so stingy, Ramon? They are just rank 2 herbs. If he picked rank 3 or rank 4, then it is another thing," No matter how good he maintained a calm look on his face, his friends knew him very well. So, they tried to exin it to him. "Yeah" Elder Ramon nodded his head as he revealed a bitter smile and started praying, "I hope he would not pick rank 3 or rank 4 herbs." Actually, the reason why he overreacted when Ajax started picking rank 2 herbs because all those rank 2 herbs were very rare that they were impossible to find in the Zrochester province. Moreover, the chances of Ajax bing his disciple were not 100 percent. So, he felt it was a waste. ''Huh? Shadow rosemary?'' All of a sudden, Ajax found a herb that made him halt in his tracks. ''Ding, Herb name:- Shadow rosemary. Grade:- Rank 4 Effect:- Increases a single minor realm for cultivators below the general realm. Note:- 1) Single time use only. 2) Can be consumed directly Description:- A rare rank 4 herb that could be found in the depths of the cursed wilderness in the territory of the king of spirit beasts. Even without the help of the system, Ajax already knew about the herb and that was the reason he stopped in his tracks. ''I should get this one,'' Since consuming it could increase his cultivation by a single minor realm, how could he leave the herb just like that? For him, he needs to reach the general realm as soon as possible. So that he could use the monster peach to directly reach the elite general realm. So, he decided to get that herb at any cost. ''Currently, I am at level 2 elitemander realm and I have energy orbs that can increase my cultivation by three minor realms. Along with this ''Shadow rosemary'', I can reach level 6 elitemander in the shortest time possible,'' Ajax was excited by just thinking about reaching the level 6 elitemander realm whenever he wanted to. ''Swoosh'' As usual, just when he approached the herb, a bright green orb came floating towards him. Compared to the green sprites he had seen till now, it was much bigger and brighter than them. "What should I do to get the herb?" Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly asked the green sprite about what he had to do to get the herb. ''Collect 3 rank 3 herbs and I will allow you to pick the herb,'' The green sprite also replied instantly before going back into the herb. ''Huh? Three rank 3 herbs?'' Ajax raised his brows and he thought, ''There is only less than an hour for me. I need to be fast.'' So far, he was not in a hurry as he slowly picked one after another rank 2 herbs; however, he wanted to speed up things now because even if was a little careless, he would miss a great opportunity of consuming the ''Shadow rosemary''. ''Finally, it''s time to go all-out,'' Soon, he found a rank 3 herb after searching for a while and there was not much suspense as he easily got the approval of the green sprite in front of the rank 3 herb. Rank 3 herb:- Rock thyme collected, Rank 3 herb:-Ashen stone fern collected, Rank 3 herb:- Ordinary blood bloom collected. Within 50 minutes, he searched for three rank 3 herbs and got the approval of the green sprites and collected them into the special boxes. ''It took me more time in finding the rank 3 herbspared to the time that took to convince the green sprites,'' While returning back to the rank 4 herb Shadow rosemary, Ajax thought in his head. Even though the herb garden was very big, 80 percent of the herb garden was filled with rank 2 herbs, 15 percent of rank 3 herbs and only 5 percent of rank 4 herbs. That was the reason why it took him so long to collect three rank 3 herbs. ''Anyway, I am getting a rank 4 herb along with these three rank 3 herbs. So, it is worth my time,'' Ajax was greatly excited as he was able to get a rank 4 herb to increase his cultivation by a single minor realm. ¡­. Outisde the herb graden, ''What is happening?'' ''Why is my luck this bad?'' ''I didn''t expect a brat could convince the green sprites of the rank 3 herbs,'' Elder Ramon, who was observing Ajax from time to time was shocked to the core as he never expected what Ajax was doing. Unlike previous times, the other vagrant cultivators didn''t say anything because losing three rare rank 3 herbs would be definitely painful. Moreover, they didn''t have the face to say the same words repeatedly and remained silent. "I hope, he would not pick any rank 4 herbs from my herb garden," Finally, after suppressing all his pains, Elder Ramon spoke out his words as he focused his look back on Snow storm. Actually, Elder Ramon didn''t keep full focus on Ajax. So, he missed that Ajax had already found a rank 4 herb and only after the request of the green sprite of that rank 4 herb, he went to search for rank 3 herbs. "Yes. As long as he didn''t pick a rank 4 herb, it is going to be okay," Soon, the other vagrant cultivators nodded their heads in agreement with his words. Inside the herb garden, "I got another one," Finally, just when there was only a couple of minutes before the trial came to end, Snow storm excitedly shouted once again as she collected her third rank 2 herb from the herb garden. After picking her third herb, she didn''t bother to try picking other herbs as she knew there was not enough time for her to gain the approval of another dark sprite. Chapter 668: Guild masters trial

Chapter 668: Guild master''s trial

"Congrattions, Ramon," "Finally, you got a personal disciple," As soon as Snow storm picked her third rank 2 herb, all the vagrant cultivators congratted Elder Ramon. ''Hmm'' However, except for nodding his head, Elder Ramon didn''t say anything to them because his eyes were glued to Ajax. After picking three rank 3 herbs, Elder Ramon just hoped the trial time would be over because he was feeling some bad premonition when he looked at Ajax. ''I hope he didn''t pick a rank 4 herb within the next few minutes,'' There were only a few minutes before the trial could be finished. So, Elder Ramon continuously thought in his mind. However, his luck was very bad that Ajax straightaway went to a rank 4 herb named ''Shadow rosemary'' and casually picked it without fearing the green sprite. ''How is this possible?'' Elder Ramon was shocked at that sight and looked at other vagrant cultivators for some exnation. However, everyone was silent except for the guild master, who said, "The green sprite guarding the rank 4 herb asked Ajax to pick three rank 3 herbs and then it would allow him to pick the rank 4 herb." ''What? When did that happen?'' Elder Ramon was so shocked after hearing his words; however, he shook his head as silently, ''I should take him as my personal disciple at any cost.'' Soon, his previous sadness disappeared as he started thinking of how to attract Ajax to select him as his master. "Finally, got the herb," As for Ajax, he was happy for getting a rank 4 directly consumable herb. "Everyone, the trial ends here," Soon, Elder Ramon appeared in the herb garden and brought all the participants out of it along with him. "Little girl, do you want to be my personal disciple?" After bringing them out of the herb garden, Elder Ramon looked at Snow storm and asked her. "Huh?" Snow storm looked at Ajax first and then looked at Elder Ramon before asking him, "Elder Ramon, you are not selecting Ajax?" She didn''t agree to Elder Ramon directly, instead asked him a question. "No" Elder Ramon replied in a single word with a serious look on his face; however, inside his heart, he felt bitter as he was still not sure that Ajax would be his personal disciple. "Why? Didn''t he pick more herbs than me and he is more suitable to be a great alchemy masterpared to me? So, why are you not picking him?" The fact that Ajax picked more herbs could not be hidden from other participants. So, she asked Elder Ramon about it. "About that, he has to wait some more time as other vagrant cultivators are interested in him," Elder Ramon didn''t hide anything as he exined that reason for not picking Ajax. "Oh...okay," Everyone knew that Ajax performed very well in every trial except for Seward''s trial. So, he nodded her head. "So, do you want to be my personal disciple?" Elder Ramon once again asked her and Snow storm looked at her father for a moment before nodding her head. "Good" Elder Ramon nodded his head and after that, he looked at the guild master, "So, do you want to conduct your trial?" Since everyone except for the guild master conducted their trials, he asked the guild master. ''Guild master is going to conduct a trial?'' However, the guild master didn''t give an answer as he was thinking about something. ''I wonder what it is?'' ''I don''t know about it; however, one thing is for sure and the trial would be very difficult,'' As soon as the young participants heard Elder Ramon''s words, they were excited because the guild master was the leader of the vagrant cultivators and moreover, they had known him from their childhood. "Elder Ramon, are you not going to give me any reward for beings performing good in your trial?" While everyone was muttering to themselves about the trial, Ajax asked Elder Ramon about his reward. ''...'' All the vagrant cultivators including Elder Ramon were speechless. ''...'' Edmond and others standing beside him were speechless. ''...'' All the young participants beside Ajax were also speechless at his words as they looked at him with their jaws dropped. Actually, all cultivators in that secret realm were speechless at Ajax''s shamelessness because he had already gained twenty rank 2 rare herbs, 3 rank 3 herbs and one rank 4 herb. Even after collecting such good items, Ajax asked for a reward for his performance which made Elder Ramon''s heart jump out of his mouth. ''Such a greedy brat,'' Elder?Ramon and all other vagrant cultivators thought in their minds. "Yeah...I forgot to give you a reward for your performance," Although he called Ajax ''greedy'', he still cooperated with him because he wanted to make Ajax his personal disciple. So, after thinking for a while, he said, "Take this, fruit." While saying that, he tossed a green coloured fruit towards him that made everyone''s jaws drop. ''Monster peach?'' At a nce, Ajax was able to tell what it was and hurriedly caught it before saying, "Thank you for your valuable gift, Elder Ramon." Monster peach is a good cultivation resource that could increase a major realm for the general realm cultivators. Even though Ajax already had one monster peach in his inventory, he would of course like to have another one because he had some other ns with the monster peach. So, he was very sincere in thanking Elder Ramon. ''Sigh...I hope it will increase my chances of getting him as my personal disciple,'' Elder Ramon sighed in his heart as he looked at the guild master. ''Did you see that?'' ''Yes...yes. I saw that,'' ''Our stingy Ramon causally gifted a monster peach to that brat,'' ''From this, we can see how serious he was in getting that brat as his personal disciple,'' While the guild master was thinking about something, the four vagrant cultivators discussed Elder Ramon''s earlier action. ''Swoosh'' After thinking for some time, the guild master threw some powder into the air. ''Huh? Why am I feeling sleepy?'' ''I feel tired all of a sudden, . . ¡­.. As soon as the silver-coloured power fell onto the bodies of the young participants, all of a sudden, most of them felt tired and sleepy. ''Huh? He is testing them with that dizziness powder?'' ''What a simple trick? It is an easy and time-saving trick,'' ''Moreover, there is no loss in that trial unlike me where I lost many herbs,'' Looking at the guild master who started the trial without any prior notice, all the other vagrant cultivators muttered with each other about the guild master''s way of conducting a trial. "Edmond''s adopted children along with Neil managed to withstand my dizziness for 10 seconds," "Paulin and Justice endurance for 12 seconds," "Levi''s score is 15 seconds" "And finally, Ajax with 20 seconds, The guild master looked at the young participants who were sleeping on the ground without any care in the world and announced the results. "Huh? For whose sake are you announcing the results? Keep it for yourself until they wake up and say it to them," Elder Ramon revealed a slight smile as he replied to the guild master. Chapter 669: Levis hesitation

Chapter 669: Levi''s hesitation

Since all the participants were sleeping, announcing the results at a time like this was useless. So, Elder Ramon shook his head at the guild master before looking at Edmond and others, "Pick them up and ce them in that house. Also, you can rest there till the morning." While saying that Elder Ramon pointed at a house in the distance and asked them to rest along with the unconscious disciples. The number of young cultivators who participated in the guild master''s trial were only ten members. From the original 16 participants, Lewis and Jeff were selected by Elder Elek in the starting. Later, Dark me, Silver goliath and Fearless gori were selected by Elder Esmund. Lastly, Snow storm was chosen by Elder Ramon. So, the guild master skillfully controlled the silver-coloured powder and only sprinkled on the remaining 10 participants, "Yes, Elder Ramon," As soon as they heard Elder Ramon''s words, Edmond and others nodded their head and came forward to pick the unconscious participants. Edmond, Udo, Darbaudr, Lewis, Jeff, Silver Goliath, Fearless Gori and Dark me carried them within no time. "Son, your cultivation already reached the general realm?" Lewis and Jeff were awakened just before the guild master''s trial and after carrying all the unconscious participants, Udo asked his son. "Yes, father. Now I have a new cultivation technique and just after circting it a few times increased my cultivation from level 3 elitemander to level 1 general realm cultivator," Jeff excitedly said to his father and while exining it, there was an ear to ear smile on his face. "Good...good," There were no bounds to Udo''s excitement after seeing the sudden rise of his son. He and Edmond trained Edmond''s nine adopted children and whenever hepared his son with them, he would bitterly sigh. However, now, his son was finally caught up to them or even better to say, surpassed them. "Lewis, congrattions," Simrly, Lewis had also reached level 1 general realm; however, Udo''s eyes were only on his son until now. So, it took him a while to congratte Lewis. Soon, everyone congratted Lewis and Jeff for reaching level 1 general realm with cheerful smiles on their faces. There was no envy or whatsoever in them because they knew they could reach that level soon because they were also personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. They talked about something for a while before resting in the same house. .... In another house in the ''Eternal Garden'' secret realm, All six vagrant cultivators sat on a circr table as they discussed something with less serious expressions on their face. "Except for Ajax, we can choose anyone from thest 10 participants," The guild master took the lead as he said to the other vagrant cultivators, "You can say the names of the participants, you are interested and if some disciple is chosen by multiple people, then you can convince others to drop out or it would be discussed tomorrow morning after they wake up." "I want ¡­." Soon, the discussion about selecting their disciples started among the vagrant cultivators. ...¡­.. Next day morning, ''What happened to me?'' ''Where am I?'' ''Right! What happened to thest trial?'' The 10 unconscious young cultivators from yesterday finally woke up; however, their minds were still hazy as they tried to remember what happened yesterday. "Everyone, no need to worry about anything. The final trial is over and the guild master said, they will pick the personal disciples today," Edmond, who was sleeping in the same hall, briefly exined to them what happened yesterday. After hearing that they felt a little tensed because if they were unable to be the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivator, their progress would be very slowpared to the others who had be the personal disciple. ''Should I pick someone as a master?'' Unlike other young cultivators, who were worrying about whether they would be chosen by the vagrant cultivators or not, Ajax was thinking whether he should choose a master or not? ''Elder Boron said selecting a master should not be taken very lightly and once a cultivator chooses someone as his master, then they can''t ept others as their master,'' Ajax remembered the words of Elder Boron about ''epting a master'' and started thinking about it. ''Cooo'' All of a sudden, a loud conch shell sound came from the outside. "Everyone, the vagrant cultivators are calling us. Let''s go," As soon as he heard the sound, Edmond said to the young cultivators before going outside with Udo and others. Behind them, all the young cultivators walked out with tensed expressions on their faces. "Good Morning, Elders," Everyone politely greeted the six vagrant cultivators. "Morning morning," The vagrant cultivators greeted back as the guild master looked at the tensed expression on the faces of young cultivators and revealed a slight smile. "All those disciples, who were selected yesterday, go and stand behind your masters," While maintaining the same slight smile on his face, the guild master asked all the selected young cultivators. ''Yes, guild master,'' Even though they learned that the guild master was the leader among the six vagrant cultivators, they got used to calling him the guild master. After hearing his words, they nodded their heads and did as he said. "Now, 10 participants are still remaining," Next, the guild master looked at Ajax and the remaining nine participants. "Will you call their names or should I call them for you?" After ncing at them, the guild master looked at his friends and asked them. "No need. We will call our own personal disciples," The veiled matriarch, Sandra shook her head as she looked at the young cultivators before calling out, "You two twins,e out. Do you want to be my personal disciples?" The twins were none other than Moon shadow and Bright shadow. "Yes are very happy to be your disciples, Madam Sandra," Both brother and sister duo said at the same time in unison with excited smiles on their face. For them, as long as they were epted as the personal disciples under any vagrant cultivator was a good thing. So, when they heard Sandra'' words, they were excited and without any hesitation, they agreed. "Good,e and stand behind me," She nodded her head and asked them to stand behind her. "You, you and ¡­.you. Are you willing to be my personal disciple?" After Sandra picked her personal disciples, Elder Seward picked three participants from the group and asked them. "Yes, Elder Seward," King Killer and Kind Mantis nodded their head without any hesitation and directly walked towards Elder Seward before standing behind him. "What about you?" However, one of the participants he picked didn''t move from his ce and hesitation was all over his face. So, Elder Seward asked him. "Elder Seward, I want to be your personal disciple; however, I have something I need to tell you first. After hearing that, if you have no problem, I will be your personal disciple," The participant that was hesitating was none other than Levi. After hearing Elder Seward''s words, Levi looked at him and replied. "What is it?" Along with Elder Seward, everyone raised their brows as they waited for what Levi wanted to say. Chapter 670: Back to back shocks

Chapter 670: Back to back shocks

For every young cultivator in the Zrochester province, bing a personal disciple of the vagrant cultivators was a dream that neveres true. However, when one of them was offered the personal disciple position to Levi, he was hesitating to ept it. Even vagrant cultivators were feeling the same; however, they didn''t say anything as they waited for Levi to say his reason. "I am not from this province," While everyone was waiting for the reason why Levi was hesitating to ept Elder Seward''s offer, Levi finally said it. Levi felt it was better to say about his origins because after he became their personal disciple and if they learn about it, they may not like him. Moreover, there was something he heard back in Ylercester province that Zrochester province people hated the cultivators of Ylercester province because of their pure essence of nature''s environment. "..." "Haha" Everyone around him became speechless for a moment before startedughing. This ''Everyone'' doesn''t include Ajax as he was also puzzled at theirughing. "Huh?" Seeing that, Levi didn''t understand why they wereughing so hard as he continued to say, "I am not joking. I am really from Ylercester province." He thought they wereughing because he was joking. So, he said with a serious expression to make them believe. "Everyone, stopughing," The guild master stoppedughing and at the same time, he asked others to calm down and stopughing. Soon, it became silent as the guild master started saying, "Do you think we didn''t know that?" "What?" Levi and Ajax both were shocked at the guild master''s words because they didn''t expect that. Until now, Ajax had never introduced Levi properly to anyone and at the same time, all were very busy with their own work and no one inquired about him. Ajax only said that Levi saved his life once and because of him, Levi was heavily injured. However, after hearing the guild master''s words they looked at him in a new light. "Yes," All the vagrant cultivators nodded their heads as the guild master continued, "Do you think, anyone can enter this ce without a proper background check?" Only now, Ajax and Levi were starting to understand what the six vagrant cultivators were capable of. ''No wonder, the top powers of the Zrochester province fears them,'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he looked at Edmond who revealed a slight smile. "Ajax, we also know about you; however, we didn''t want you to know that," In the next second, the guild master looked at Ajax as he said with a serious expression. "What?" Earlier, when the guild master said that they knew about Levi, he was shocked; however, now he started fearing and at the same time remembering his acting when he met Edmond and others, he felt a little funny. ''So, they know about my past all along,'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he continued, "And here I am still thinking that they believed my story." "However, we are still unable to find your exponential rise in cultivation. You can hide it pretty well, Kid," Noticing the bitter look on his face, the guild master revealed a slight smile as he replied to Ajax. ''At least they didn''t know about the system,'' This was the only thing that made him heave a sigh of relief as he looked at the guild master without saying anything. "We know why you said what you said when you met Edmond and others. Moreover, we all respect you a lot for staying strong and bing stronger to take revenge on those who killed your friends," The guild master and others could understand why Ajax had to act that way and they all felt that Ajax was not an ordinary young man because within no time, he had reached the level 2 elitemander realm and at the same time, he also became a summoner. "Guild master, you are..." Ajax rubbed the back of his head as he didn''t know what to say. "You don''t have to say anything. Just stay like how you always did," the guild master didn''t allow Ajax to finish his words as he asked him not to say anything. Moreover, they even know about Justice and Neil. After knowing that they were from the assassin sect, they asked Edmond and Udo to keep an eye on them. However, after observing Justice for months, they didn''t suspect him of a spy. Still, they kept an eye on him and the moment he does something suspicious, he would be killed without any mercy. After that, he looked at Levi before saying, "So, what about you? Do you want to be his personal disciple or not?" "You don''t hate the cultivators of Ylercester province?" Levi was still skeptical about them as he asked them once again. "What is there to hate? They just have some good cultivation conditions; however, as long as we work a little harder we can catch up to them," Seward, who stayed silent until now spoke with a nonchnt expression on his face. "Thank you for your exnation, Elders" After hearing the guild master and Elder Seward''s words, Levi revealed a smile as he thanked them. In the next second, he looked at Elder Sewards and said, "I am very happy to be your personal disciple, Elder Seward." "Good," Elder Seward nodded his head. "Brat, you camee and stand beside me," Unlike other vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon didn''t ask the participant; instead, he directly ordered one of the five remaining participants toe and stand behind him. "Yes, Master," The participant, who Elder Ramon called didn''t mind at all as he directly called Ramon as his master before rushing towards him. He was none other than Justice''s little brother, Neil. Before they could enter the secret realm, Elder Ramon liked Neil''s stubbornness. So, he directly chose him as his disciple even though he didn''t show any outstanding performance in any of the trials. ''Finally, he got selected,'' Seeing that, Justice felt relieved as he was praying heavens from the beginning that his little brother should be chosen by one of the vagrant cultivators and finally it happened. Justice never bothered about anything except for his little brother''s future and following Ajax''s orders. Since the first one ispleted, he could finally focus on the second one without worrying about anything. "So, there are still four participants left," Elder Ramon didn''t move his eyes from Ajax as he felt the moment he moved his eyes away, he would be selected by other vagrant cultivators and at the same time, he silently thought, "I spent a lot on my trial and I need to get him as my personal disciple." As for the remaining four participants, they were none other than Ajax, Justice, Paulin and Heavenly raven. Among the four, Heavenly raven was very tense because he was the only one of his brothers and sister that was left behind. So, he felt each passing second as an eternity. ''Heavens, please don''t abandon me,'' He continuously prayed heavens hoping to get selected by one of the vagrant cultivators. The guild master looked at the four cultivators and started pointing his fingers to select his personal disciples. Chapter 671: Ajaxs decision

Chapter 671: Ajax''s decision

"You, you and you," The guild master pointed his finger at three members leaving behind Ajax and asked, "You want to be my personal disciples?" He looked at three young participants and asked them just like other cultivators. Even though the vagrant cultivators know the answer to that question already, they still asked it for a formality. ''Phew...finally, I became the personal disciple of the vagrant cultivator...wait a second..it''s the leader of the vagrant cultivator'' As soon as he saw that the guild master was pointing his fingers at him, Heavenly raven heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he thought he was luckier than his brothers and sisters. They were able to be the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivator; however, he became the personal disciple of the leader of the vagrant cultivators. So, of course, he was very happy. While maintaining the same smile on his face, Heavenly Raven walked forward and with a bow, he said, "I am willing to be your personal disciple, guild master." Compared to others, Heavenly raven acted more respectful as he bowed to his master. "Master," As for Justice and Paulin, they directly bowed to the guild master and called him ''Master'' before walking towards him and stood behind the guild master. Finally, all the young participants were selected except for Ajax who was not worried even a tiny bit as he already had something in his mind. "So, Ajax, it''s finally...you," After all the other participants were chosen, the guild master looked at Ajax as he continued, "You can pick any vagrant cultivator as your master." There were many reasons why Ajax was given such a good opportunity whenpared to other participants. One, his cultivation talent was very good that he became an elitemander realm cultivator within a few months. Two, his essence of nature is pure along with his spirit consciousness'' capacity. Three, from the trials, he showed talents in herb picking using herbs'' knowledge which was the first step in the alchemy, forging and soul rted trial. So, of course, the guild master had given him a chance to pick anyone Ajax wants as his master. All old and young cultivators were looking at Ajax waiting for his reply. The young cultivators were wondering which vagrant cultivator Ajax would choose whereas each one of the vagrant cultivators was hoping Ajax would choose them. "Guild master, I can''t choose a master?" Ajax looked at all the vagrant cultivators for a moment and mustered his courage before saying those words. ''What?'' Everyone in that secret realm except for Justice and Darbaudr was shocked by Ajax''s words as they didn''t expect Ajax to say that. ''Why is he wasting such a golden opportunity?'' ''There must be a reason for that,'' ''There should be; otherwise, I will¡­.,'' ''What will you do? With his official elemental spirit, he can nicely y with you...Haha'' ''You...'' . . ¡­. Ajax''s words raised a hugemotion from the young cultivators as they started wondering about the reason behind Ajax''s words. ''What a pity?'' ''Such a talented young cultivator wasting his talent by not picking a good master,'' ''It will be very difficult for him to break through the shackles of the elite general realm without our guidance and he would likely do the same mistake as we did,'' ''We can still guide him. It is notpulsory that he should be our personal disciple to teach him something,'' . . .. Soon, the vagrant cultivators shook their heads feeling that they have to guide him even if he didn''t be their disciple. ''Sigh...looks like all my herbs and monster peach are gone for nothing,'' Among all the vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon was the most depressed one because in his view, he had spent too much. "Hmm" Soon, the guild master looked at Ajax as he nodded his head and continued saying, "It is your wish to select a master or not. We can''t force you to pick one of us as your master." His words contained no emotion as he replied to Ajax''s earlier words. Moreover, he didn''t even ask the reason why Ajax didn''t want a master. ''Every individual has their own reasons and motives,'' This was the thought in the guild master''s head when he said those words to Ajax. "Guild master¡­.I already have a master. So, I can''t choose another master without his permission," However, Ajax directly said the reason why he didn''t choose a master from the vagrant cultivators. ''What?'' ''You already have a master?'' Except for the guild master, everyone including the young cultivators, Edmond and others were shocked by Ajax''s words as they didn''t expect Ajax to already had a master. "Just like I expected," Unlike them, the guild master nodded his head as though he knew that from the beginning. The five vagrant cultivators mostly lived in their own secret realm and very rarely enter the Zrochester province. So, they didn''t know much about Ajaxpared to the guild master. As for why the guild master was able to guess that Ajax already had a master because it was almost impossible for someone to be an elitemander realm cultivator from a mortal within a few months. So, after hearing his words, the guild master nodded his head. ''But, how is that master? Did I meet him before?'' However, Ajax'' words gave birth to even more new questions as he looked at Ajax waiting for him to say about it. "That''s right! I already have a master," Ajax repeated the words with a serious look on his face as he continued, "Guild master, didn''t you ask me how I was able to increase my cultivation within such a short span? And the answer is ''because of my master''." "Hmm" The guild master continued to nod his head. As for Ajax, he didn''t bother with the shocked expressions on the cultivators'' faces and continued, "You can ask me when and where I meet my master. My master teaches me in my dreams and sometimes even gifts me some nice items." When he said that he looked at Edmond and Levi which reminded them about the monster peach that Ajax gave him in the past. "What? Teaching cultivation in dreams?" "What kind of concept is that?" "Even, we are not capable of doing that, right?" "I wonder what level his master was to be capable ofmunicating through dreams," All the vagrant cultivators were shocked by Ajax''s words once again because they were already thinking that they were already very powerful in the Zrochester province; however, Ajax''s master seems to be even more powerful than them or even more powerful than anyone in the Zrochester province. They didn''t doubt Ajax''s words even a tiny bit because after seeing Darbaudr whose spirit consciousness was sealed and made into a servant for Ajax. Only a king realm cultivator could do it. ''Holy heavens. So, Ajax already had a master,'' ''No wonder, his battle prowess is more powerful even when our cultivation level is much higher than him,'' ''A master who can teach in dreams..isn''t that a little too much?'' ''Idiot...when a cultivator reaches very high realm, then he could do even more impossible things that we don''t even dare to imagine,'' Even the young cultivators were shocked by Ajaxs'' words as they looked at Ajax in a new light. Chapter 672: Disadvantage of a personal disciple

Chapter 672: Disadvantage of a personal disciple

Actually, no one had much rity on how powerful a king realm cultivator would be except for Darbaudr. Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness was sealed by one of twelve demon apostles; however, the guild master and others thought it was done by Ajax''s master from his dream. "Okay" Finally, the guild master nodded his head as though he was believing what he had said earlier. "Everyone don''t bother Ajax about asking his master lest you incur the wrath of that great cultivator," After nodding his head at Ajax, the guild master looked at everyone surrounding him and said in a loud voice with a serious expression on his face. In the guild master''s view, someone had to be at least king realm to be able to send items through the dreams. Moreover, such powerful cultivators didn''t like interrogating their disciples about them. So, he asked everyone to not ask any question regarding Ajax''s master. "Yes" Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. They could also guess the guild master''s intentions and thought not to ask any more questions regarding Ajax''s master. ''Phew¡­they are more understanding than I thought,'' As for Ajax, he heaved a sigh of relief after hearing their words. Because he thought he needed to do a lot of exnations to make them believe his words. "Okay everyone, all the trials are finished here," After the matter regarding Ajax''s master came to an end, the guild master once again took the lead as he continued, "Let''s go back to Zrochester province and a big event to celebrate today." At the end of his words, the guild master revealed a smile as though he was very excited inside his heart; however, he was suppressing it in front of others. After finishing his words, the guild master started walking in a particr direction along with other vagrant cultivators. "Huh?" All the young cultivators didn''t understand the guild master''sst words as they revealed confused looks on their faces. But still, they followed behind the guild master without asking anything. They didn''t even know where the exit of this secret realm was. So, they hurriedly followed behind the guild master and their new masters. "You must be wondering what the guild master has just said, right?" While walking, the most talkative one among the vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon spoke all of a sudden. "Yes, Master," "Yes, Elder Ramon," Elder Ramon''s personal disciples called him master whereas others continued to call him as Elder. "Actually, the disciple selection ceremony is about to begin today," Elder Ramon said in an excited tone to the young cultivators. "But, isn''t it over just now?" One of the young cultivators asked in response to Elder Ramon''s earlier words. "Haha¡­.what happened until now is just a normal selection and what is about to happen is a disciple selection ceremony," Elder Ramonughed out loud as he continued to exin, "Today is the day, we, the six vagrant cultivators are going to announce to the world about our personal disciples." "What?" "Announcing to the entire province?" "But isn''t that dangerous to announce before we could be strong?" .. .. .. All the young cultivators were shocked by Elder Ramon''s words and asked some questions. "Yes, we are announcing to the entire province and of course it is dangerous to announce," Before Elder Ramon could reply to them, Elder Esmund replied to them with a calm look on his face. "What?" This time, Elder Esmund''s words caused panic in them because announcing them as the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators was the most dangerous thing to do. Because almost all the top powers didn''t like the six vagrant cultivators and by announcing that they now have some personal disciples was not a good thing. Moreover, even the vagrant cultivators agreed what they were doing was dangerous for the young cultivators. "Actually, it is the pressure we are intentionally putting on you. When you have some pressure on you, you will break your limits and reach a much higher cultivation realm," Finally, the guild master started giving a proper exnation for what they were about to do. "So, all you have to do now is cultivate properly and increase your cultivation as soon as possible to surprise your enemies with your cultivation when theye to kill you," "As long as you have sufficient power, you don''t have to fear anyone," "Increasing your strength doesn''t mean you will be invincible. There will always be someone more powerful than you. So, better keep this in your minds," "Even if you can''t kill your opponent, you should at least have the strength to escape from your enemies. So, that even if you never attack that enemy, they would continuously live in fear thinking when you will be attacking him," All of a sudden, all the vagrant cultivators stopped in their tracks as they gave one advice after another without wasting any time between their advice. "So, did you understand everything he said till now?" After all the vagrant cultivators became silent, the guild master asked the young cultivators with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, sir" Everyone nodded their heads with full respect towards the guild master and other vagrant cultivators. Finally, they understood one thing and it was bing the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivatores with its own risk. They could enjoy good cultivation resources and good training from them at the same time, their enemies be your enemies. Since they could not kill the vagrant cultivators, they would show their powers to their personal disciples. After hearing all the advice from the vagrant cultivators, all the young cultivators clenched their fists as they decided to cultivate to their best and break their limits as suggested by their masters. Soon, they resumed their walk; however, the young cultivators didn''t bother to ask how they were exiting this secret realm because they had some other thing to ask their masters. "Master, can you tell us about the secret realms?" After discussing among themselves for a while, they selected one young cultivator to ask his master about the secret realms. The moment they entered this secret realm, this was an unresolved question in their minds. So, they selected Neil to ask Elder Ramon who was known as the most talkative one among all the vagrant cultivators. "The secret realms are mini-worlds that were born outside every world and maintain some connection with the main world," Elder Ramon started his exnation as he continued, "There are many secret realms for the main world. So, once you be strong enough you can choose one for yourself as your home." "Really? We can have our own secret realms?" "I want to start cultivating now itself," .. .. .. Soon, all the young cultivators including Ajax were excited when they heard those words. Even Levi didn''t have a clue about secret realms until he came here. So, he was also excited along with others. "Of course, you can have your own secret realm once you became powerful," Elder Ramon liked to see the excitement in the faces of young cultivators because when someone had goals they could bring out their true potential. "Elder Ramon, can you say what are the conditions to own a secret realm?" All of a sudden, Ajax asked an interesting question that made everyone silent and curiously looked at Elder Ramon for an answer. Chapter 673: Death Sentence

Chapter 673: Death Sentence

Ajax could guess that it was not as simple as what Elder Ramon had said. If anyone with strength could get a secret realm than the top sects and families would have more than secret realms. So, Ajax asked the question to Elder Ramon asking him to give the specific conditions for getting a secret realm. ''These secret realms seem to be simr to dimensional crevice; however, dimensional crevices have multiple entrances and exits in other provinces. So, is it the same with the secret realms?'' As soon as he asked a question, Ajax got another question; however, he didn''t ask and waited for his first question to be answered. "Haha" However, Elder Ramon didn''t answer his question directly as he startedughing before saying, "When you reach level 10 of the elite general realm, if youe and ask the same question then I will answer it." "Okay" If Elder Ramon set a condition to answer their question, then he would definitely not be going to say it. However, how could Ajax leave it just like that, he silently thought in his head, ''System, you know the answer, right?'' The system in his head could hide its presence even from the stronger powerhouses of the Zrochester province. So, ording to him, he would know everything that the powerhouses know and even more knowledgeablepared to them. ''Ding, The host''s strength is two major realms lower for knowing the answer to that question. ''Ding, Pay 50000 units of the essence of nature to know. ''Ding, The amount of essence of nature decreases with the increase in the host''s cultivation. Soon, Ajax''s sight was covered with system notifications that made him raise his brows. ''So, I can only ask it when I reach the elite general realm,'' Ajax shook his head with this conclusion and didn''t ask the system about it. For Ajax, 50000 units of the essence of nature was not a small amount. It was five times his current spirit consciousness'' capacity. So, even if he wanted to learn about it by paying 50000 units of the essence of nature, it would take him a while. Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry to learn about it because ording to Elder Ramon, he needed at least level 10 elite general realm strength. "Master, since this secret realm is a mini-world formed from the main world, why is its essence of nature much purer than our Zrochester province? Is it getting its essence ofo nature from other provinces?" Snow storm asked Elder Ramon another question about the secret realm. The essence of nature they felt the moment they entered this secret realm was much purer than the essence of nature. So, Snow storm got the doubt regarding the essence of nature of the secret realm. "Actually, it doesn''t get the essence of nature from any province from the human world; instead, it creates its own essence of nature," Elder Ramon knew what to say and what not to say. So, he started exining the things that the young cultivators should know. "Actually, when these secret realms are formed, they are just barren worlds with nothing inside it. What you see in this secret realm is my years of hard work," By the time he finished his words, Elder Ramon revealed a proud look on his face. Because he was very proud of all his efforts that finally turned a barren world into a world filled with the essence of nature much purer than the Zrochester province. ''What? It was a barren world before?'' ''How many years did he work to turn a barren world into a world with the essence of nature?'' All the young cultivators were learning more and more new things today and at the same time, their minds regarding the cultivation world were broadening. Exactly twenty years ago, that means even before they were born, all the six vagrant cultivators disappeared from the Zrochester province. If they all have just found their own secret realms back then, that means it only took Elder Ramon to turn a barren world into a world with the essence of nature within 20 years. ''What kind of logic is that,'' As for Ajax, he was not surprised by turning barrennd into a world with the essence of nature; instead, he was surprised at the time period. Ajax already knew that one could turn barrennd into an essence fillednd because of his inner world. The essence of nature is generated by the nts, spirit beasts and cultivators. As long as they could cultivate, every world with living beings could gradually generate the essence of nature. However,pared to humans and spirit beasts, immovable living beings like nts and trees tend to generate more units of the essence of nature in the world. The higher the grade of those nts and trees, the more units and the higher the purity of the essence of nature are generated by the world. ''Even though my inner world''s essence of nature''s purity is around the same as this secret realm''s essence of nature''s purity, I did with the help of system and its rewards,'' Ajax really admired Elder Ramon for his hard work regarding his secret realm. The purity of the essence of nature in his inner world was mainly because of elemental paradises like ''Mini thunder pool'', ''Mini dark abyss'' and etc. He didn''t see other vagrant cultivators secret realms. So, he was not hoping their secret realms would be any better than this one because only Elder Ramon with the title of ''Eternal nurturer'' was able to do such a feat. "Everyone, be ready, we are teleporting to the Zrochester province," While Elder Ramon and other young cultivators were having a question and answer session, the guild master asked everyone to be alert. As soon as he finished his words, a huge portal appeared in front of them that absorbed everyone in front of it. ''Aargh'' The six vagrant cultivators were used to it; however, Edmond and all the remaining young cultivators could not help but shout when they were absorbed into the portal. ...¡­ In the inner section of the cursed wilderness, "Big brother," In the depths of the cursed wilderness, the forest fairy king, Geron stood in front of an old cave and called someone. However, there was no response from the old cave making Geron anxious. "Big brother, I don''t have much time before your guardianse here", With an anxious tone, Geron continued to shout at the old cave. "No one is allowing me to meet you for years and I have to sneak here from their eyes; however, they wille here soon," Geron increased his tone as he shouted at the cave. So that someone inside it could hear his words. "You dare to disturb my king?" All of a sudden, three silhouettes appeared from the distance and surrounded Geron as they looked at him with full killing intent. "I want to meet the King," Geron reced his anxious tone as he seriously said to the three beings that surrounded him. "You dared to address the king of spirit beasts as ''Big brother''. I, as the leader of king''s three guardian sentence you to death," One of the three beings directly announced a death sentence for Geron and signalled the other two guardians to kill him. Chapter 674: Star Lynx

Chapter 674: Star Lynx

Extra chapter... The king of the spirit beasts that rule the inner section of the cursed wilderness had three powerful guardians that were on par with the spirit beast kings under him. Abyss minotaur, a spirit beast that resembles a wild bull that could destroy anything in its way. Serpent imp, a mutated snake-type spirit beast that has a demon bloodline in it. And the third guardian who was also the leader of them, Star lynx, a spirit beast which was even more powerful than the strongest beast king under the king of the spirit beasts. They didn''t use human forms because they loathe humans and if by any chance any human appears in front of then, they could y with him before killing him. "Star Lynx, I was allowed by the king himself to call him as Big brother," How could the forest fairy king agree to such a death sentence without any retortion? So, he dodged the attacks from the two guardians, Abyss minotaur and Serpent imp while shouting at Star Lynx. "My king was just saying that casually and you dare to call him by that? You deserve to die," This time, the star lynx himself ran towards Geron, baring his teeth at him. "Wait..." ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Before Geron could finish his words, the star lynx swiped his lynx w at Geron and made a pretty deep cut on his chest. "Aargh" Geron was the most powerful spirit beast in the middle section of the cursed wilderness; however, in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he was the weakest one that any spirit beast king could kill him. "Why do you want to kill me?" Geron could sense an intense killing intent from the three guardians as he didn''t want why they wanted to kill him. "Didn''t I already say the reason for your death sentence? Don''t y dumb, Geron," Star lynx looked at Geron as he revealed a low growl. ''Is he thinking I am that dumb to believe his reason for killing?'' Stopping the bleedinging out from this wound, Geron scoffed at the three guardians as he started to think of the real reason for their full killing intent towards him. "You are still thinking?" Start lynx didn''t attack Geron anymore as he waited for Geron to realize the true reason for their killing intent. ''Wait a second,'' All of a sudden, Geron realized something that made him understand why these guardians who were usually friendly with him turned hostile all of sudden. "So, you finally got it, I guess," Star lynx revealed a satisfied look on his cat-face as he continued, "Since you already got the answer then you can finally die now," As soon as he finished his words, the star lynx signalled the other two guardians to kill Geron. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Serpent imp was moved without making any sound; however, that was not the case for the abyss minotaur. Each time he took a step forward, the ground would shake. ''So, that is the reason why they are not allowing me to meet the king. No wonder, I am not even getting my share of cultivation resources properly from that time,'' As for Geron, he dodged the iing attacks and started thinking about the day this all started. ording to Geron, it all started when his son was elevated to another province. When it happened a couple of years ago, the king of the spirit beasts praised Geron for raising such a son and at the same time allowed Geron to call him ''Big brother''. This thing displeased all the spirit beasts under the king and even guardians didn''t like Geron. From that time, all kinds of troubles started for Geron; however, Geron didn''t mind them before they could not openly kill him without proper reason; however, now the guardians wanted to kill him when the king was in a deep sleep. ''I have to try my best; otherwise, there is no one left to protect my daughter,'' Geron knew that it was impossible to escape from these three guardians but he didn''t give up as he started using his full power against them. In this world, only Keshe was thest blood-rted family he had and without him, she would be either killed or forced to bear children for other spirit beast kings. "Even if I die, I will take you along with me," Even though he was not a match for the three guardians, if he used some secret techniques, he could destroy his enemies along with him. ''Otherworld treants, I summon you,'' Without wasting any time, he summoned 10 treants that were around six meters in height. Treats are the beings that looked like trees that were capable of walking. Their branches were full of green leaves and as soon as they were summoned they surrounded Geron. ''Adf fjfj erf'' Holding the hands of each other, all 10 tree treants started muttering something in a low but audible tone. ''Huh?'' Seeing that both abyss minotaur and serpent imp stopped in their tracks and curiously looked at the actions of those treants. "That is child''s y," As for Start lynx, he shook his head at Geron before roaring at his two subordinates, "What are you waiting for? Just kill him." ''Yes, leader,'' Both the spirit beasts nodded their heads rushed at Geron with full force. ''Boom'' However, just when they mmed into one of the treants, they were sted off into a couple of meters shocking them. "Leader, I think, they created a barrier around him," "Our strongest attacks are not even able to make a dent in it. You can use your strongest attack, leader," When they rushed towards Geron earlier, they used their full-fledged attacks. So, they didn''t bother to waste their energy on the barrier before asking their leader to attack him. ''I have to hurry up and wake up the big brother,'' After forming the barrier, Geron didn''t waste any time as he shouted to wake up the king of the spirit beasts from his sleep. "Big brother, you need to wake up" "Please wake up" "Big brother," ''p p'' Seeing that, the star lynx started mming his lion tail to the ground as though he was pping for Geron''s idea. "No wonder, even without a power that was equal to the 12 spirit beast kings, you are able to be a king with a barrier," Start lynx didn''t mock his subordinates as he knew how powerful their strongest attacks were and they didn''t expect Geron to have such a strong barrier as his trump card. Until now, no one knows how Geron was able to gain the title of spirit beast king from the king of spirit beasts without showing his power in front of others. However, they know, he was the weakest among all the spirit beast kings. "If not for the king''s order, you would have already died a gruesome death the moment you be the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness," Start lynx walked forward and stopped just an inch away from the treant barrier around Geron and said to him. "Now, you are going to die. So, save your breath," As soon as he said that, he opened his mouth and pointed at Geron as though he was about to use some skill. Chapter 675: The plans of Vagrant cultivators

Chapter 675: The ns of Vagrant cultivators

While Geron was attacked by the three guardians of the King of the inner section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax along with others reached the mercenary guild. "Woah" Looking at the huge stage in front of the mercenary guild, all the young cultivators were surprised. ''It this how they are going to announce the entire province?'' Moreover, they also sensed that many cultivators from the top powers of Zrochester province along with many low-level cultivators. With a nce, they were able to tell what was the huge stage for any why many cultivators were rushing to the mercenary guild at this early hour of the day. "Guild master, Ipleted everything you asked me to do," The beautiful receptionist of the mercenary guild, Sarah came out from the building and with a bow, she said to the guild master. Actually, the event was already nned many days before and when they were leaving to the secret realm, the guild master ordered her to take care of everything rted to the disciple-selection event. ''Good'' The guild master knew what she was capable of and that was the reason why he chose her to be the receptionist of the mercenary guild. "Everyone go and freshen up inside before taking a rest for a while. Come here within three hours because that is when the event is going to start," The guild master looked satisfied with the arrangement he left for his beautiful receptionist and turned his head to the young cultivators, he said to them. "Yes," Everyone nodded their heads as they went into the building. After a day full of trials from the vagrant cultivators and travelling through the portal four times within a short period of time made them tired. So, of course, they wanted a nice bath along with some good sleep. ''Yes, guild master,'' Even though the sleeping hours are very less, they felt it was okay because a big thing was waiting for them in three hours. They hardly doubt they could sleep. "You too," After the young cultivators left inside the building, the guild master looked at Edmond and others before asking them to take the rest too. Soon, except for the guild master, no one was left in front of the mercenary guild. Even though they were other cultivators, they didn''t dare to approach them and maintained some distance because if any cultivator angered the vagrant cultivator, they might be killed along with that cultivator. So, they only nced at the vagrant cultivators from a distance. ''Swoosh'' Still, the guild master didn''t want others to spy on their conversation and with a wave of his hands, an invisible barrier surrounded them. ''What do you think? Will our actions make the top powers assassinate our disciples openly?'' Once the barrier is formed, Elder Ramon asked the guild master without any expression on his face. ''If I am right, they will be given the chance to enter the ''Champions contest'' by the royal family. In the contest, every power would try their best to kill our disciples,'' The guild master answered Elder Ramon''s question without much thinking. Currently, except for Ajax and Paulin, no one among the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators got an invitation to that contest. So, the guild master could think about what the royal family would do. ''That''s right! Once our personal disciples participate in the contest, all other top powers would try to kill them,'' The veiled matriarch agreed with the guild master. ''Let it be, it will allow them to see how cruel the world is and how important it to have the power to protect others or even to protect their own life,'' Elder Seward said his thoughts on the guild master''s words. ''Yes, it is was I am thinking too; however, the royal family is intentionally taken out all the rules of the contest and even if someone kills his opponent, he would be not punished,'' The guild master was having some second thoughts about allowing the young cultivators to participate in the champion''s contest. The thing is there was not much time before the contest started and they could not train them within these 10 days. So, he was feeling a little hesitant. ''Hmm'' Soon, every other vagrant cultivator fell into a dilemma as they started evaluating their options and everything rted to it. ''So, how about we take a little help from him?'' All of a sudden, Elder Ramon got an idea as he blurted it out. ''No no no...let''s not use that for now. We only have a single thing to ask. So, it is a waste to ask help from him for this case,'' However, before anyone could say something, he himself rejected the thought as he felt he was using the most valuable thing for something less important. ''How about we share all our resources in training them?'' Elder Esmund, who stayed silent till now, said something that piqued everyone''s interest. ''How did I forget such a simple solution and thought about asking for help from him?'' Elder Ramon was shocked at Esmund idea as he agreed with Elder Esmund. ''Yes. we can do that. I hope all agree with that idea,'' The guild master nodded his head as he said to other vagrant cultivators. The guild master never forced someone in his team to do something against their wishes. Even though he was the leader, he would wait for everyone to agree and if someone in his team didn''t want to do that particr thing, he would try to convince them for some time. Still, if the teammate was against the idea, then he would drop the idea and go for another better idea. ''We have no problem at all,'' However, all the vagrant cultivators agreed without any hesitation. ''Let''s start with Elek''s secret realm and make them cultivate with everyone''s special resources for a day before finally putting them in Esmund''s battle tower. What do you say?'' The guild master didn''t take much time for nning how they should use the special cultivation resources in each vagrant cultivators'' secret realms and briefly exined them. ''Yes. So, we will allow our personal disciples to take the invitation and let them show their battle prowess to the entire province,'' Elder Ramon was excited as he replied to them. Actually, Elder Ramon wanted his personal disciples to be a top cultivator and everyone should revere them in admiration. So, he wanted to make them as strong as possible within these 10 days. ''So what about, Ajax? Shall we give him our cultivation resources too?'' All of a sudden, Elder Ramon remembered Ajax as he asked others about him. Since he was not the personal disciples of any of the vagrant cultivators,? Elder Ramon felt it was a waste to give him their precious cultivation resources. ''I know what you are thinking, Ramon. But, just think about it? With such a powerful master, he is bound to be a powerful character in the history of the Zrochester province. So, even if we help him a little, he would help us and our disciple when the time arises,'' The guild master knew how stingy Elder Ramon was. So, he said some things about how Ajax could be useful for them in the future. Chapter 676: Gifting Udo

Chapter 676: Gifting Udo

Currently, the six vagrant cultivators need some help from cultivators like Ajax''s master to leave this world. They were not nning to enter the Ylercester province or some other province. For old cultivators like them, going to another province is not much help because it was said by someone they trust a lot. ording to his suggestion, it was the best thing for them to enter a greater world instead of travelling to another province. Even if they wanted to travel to another province, they needed help from some powerful cultivator or a good fortuitous event that would help them ascend from Zrochester province. "Fine...let''s group him along with others. I hope he remembers our help," Elder Ramon was quite calctive. So, he agreed to the guild master''s words. "Haha" The guild master and others startedughing at their friend when they heard his words. ..... Inside the building, "Uncle Udo," While everyone was entering the mercenary guild building to freshen up and to take a rest, Ajax called Udo. "Huh?" Udo raised his brows as he turned towards Ajax and asked, "What is it, Ajax?" After learning that he had a master who was guiding him in cultivation, Udo removed all his thoughts about Ajax being a demonic cultivator. Nevertheless, his words still seemed a little rough. "I wanted to give this to you," Ajax got used to Udo tone as he took out the monster peach which he got from the battle tower and extended his hands towards Udo. Currently, he has two monster peaches in his inventory. The one he is giving to Udo was the one he got from the battle tower. As for the other one, he was nning on using it himself. ''Since I don''t have to fear the rapid increase in my cultivation, then? I can reach the general realm within no time,'' Ajax felt quite relieved after he said that he had a master who teaches him in his dreams. ''What?'' Udo was shocked by Ajax''s actions as he froze in his words. "Uncle Udo, take this fruit and consume it," Seeing the shocked Udo in front of him, Ajax was not surprised as he knew how Udo must be feeling inside his heart. So, he once again asked Udo to take the monster peach. Udo recovered from his shock as he looked at the monster peach in Ajax''s hand and at the same time looked at Ajax''s face which had a slight smile that made him feel guilty regarding his past actions. "No, Ajax," After a moment, Udo shook his head as he continued, "It is your reward and you should eat it for yourself." More than anything, Udo felt he was not worthy to get such a valuable gift from Ajax as he shook his head. "No no no, you have to take it," Ajax was anxious when he saw how stubborn Udo was in not taking the monster peach from Ajax. Ajax had his own reasons for giving the monster peach. So, he had to do anything to make Udo take the monster peach from him. "Huh?" Udo felt something was not right and he even strongly fixed now not to take the fruit as he turned around to leave from there. ''Why is he not taking such a good item?'' ''Uncle Udo should take that fruit to increase his strength,'' ''Yes, he ¡­.'' ¡­ ¡­ ... ¡­ ¡­ All the young cultivators, who were watching them from the side, hoped Udo to take the fruit to be stronger. So, they could take revenge on those top powers "I already have another one. So, you can take it as I can''t take two monster peaches for myself," .. .. How could Ajax leave just like that? He continued to convince Udo in all possible ways and finally said, "If you don''t use any good cultivation resources, it is impossible to reach the elite general realm in two years. Maybe it would take more than that." Ajax''sst words hit Udo''s sore spot which made him tempted. Who would resist the breakthrough of a full major realm? No one. Ajax already knew the answer; however, remembering how he behaved with Ajax in the past made him embarrassed to take the monster peach from him. But, when Udo heard Ajax''sst words, he fell into a dilemma because what Ajax had said was the truth. "Take it already," Even Edmond, who was beside Udo asked him to take the monster peach because he knew how useful it was for Udo and for him. ''As long as you reach level 5 elite general realm, we can start our mission anytime. With each minor realm increase in your cultivation, our rate of sess increases in our mission,'' Fearing that Udo would still reject the monster peach from Ajax, Edmond transmitted his voice to Udo as he exined how crucial that monster peach was to their mission. ''But¡­,'' ''No more buts. Just take it and go to the guest room before eating it. I will guard you until you assimte the full energy from the monster peach,'' Before Udo could say anything, Edmond interrupted and asked him to take it. ''Uff'' "Okay. I will take it," Finally, Udo took a long breath and epted the fruit from Ajax and said, "I will not forget this favour from you and if you ever wanted my help with anything in the future, don''t hesitate to ask me." Even though Udo was suspicious of new ones, once he trusts someone, he would give his life for them and the live example was Edmond. He trusts Edmond so much that he would follow most of the things Edmond says without thinking; however, Edmond makes him think, saying that he should not trust anyone including Edmond himself. "Sure," Ajax feared that Udo might return the fruit to him if he said something in modesty. So, he nodded his head and agreed to ask for help in the future. "I am going now," Soon, Udo and Edmond left from there and went towards a guest room. While Udo entered the room, Edmond stood guard in front of the door. As for the young cultivators, they felt Ajax was a very nice person and among them, Snow storm''s feeling towards him had increased with the act of giving away such a valuable resource without any hesitation. Even though Ajax could not use the two monster peaches for himself, he could always sell the extra one or exchange it for some other resources. Moreover, even with such a powerful master, Ajax was always very polite and humble that made them think, ''Would I have stayed like him?'' If someone had a powerful cultivator, unknowingly, that disciple would be arrogant more or less. So, after seeing that, all ofo the young cultivators swore not to be arrogant since they became the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. "Everyone, did you forget what is there in a few hours? We need to freshen up and take some rest," Seeing that everyone was looking at Ajax, Snow storm shouted out loud before making all the young cultivators return back to their senses and reminded them what they should do now. ''Yes yes'' All the young cultivators nodded their heads and followed behind Snow storm. Chapter 677: Kings Excitement

Chapter 677: King''s Excitement

Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when everyone stopped staring at him and followed behind then along with Justice and Neil. ''Finally, I was able to give Udo the monster peach,'' While walking Ajax revealed a slight smile looking at the guest room. Actually, it was thanks to his imaginary master in dreams, he was able to give the monster peach without fearing anything; otherwise, he had to find some other exnation on how he got an extra monster peach. ''Not only Captain Edmond''s mission, but even my mission is also progressed with Udo increase in strength,'' Ajax thought about the two benefits of his earlier actions. One, with Udo''s increase in his strength, then Edmond''s mission of taking revenge on one of the top powers woulde forward in time. Two, his mission to strengthen the allies would be progressed and as long as Udo reached the elite general realm, he would get a special reward. So, overall, he didn''t give the monster peach away for anything. ''I am waiting for my first reward,'' Ajax was excited as he wanted to see what kind of reward he would get after Udo breakthroughs to the elite general realm. Nevertheless, he went into another guest room to freshen up before resting. .... While Ajax and others were waiting for the ''Disciple selection ceremony'', all the sects, royal family and great families were annoyed at that event. Yesterday, all the top powers got an invitation from the mercenary guild that the vagrant cultivators had picked some disciples and they would like to announce it to the entire province. ''These vagrant cultivators are intentionally provoking us,'' ''Aren''t they fearing that we would kill them before they be powerful?'' ''Are they going to train them inside their secret realms or what?'' . . . . Various thoughts shed through their head and at the same time they were making necessary ns to assassinate them. All the top powers already knew about the secret realm and when the five vagrant cultivators disappeared for twenty years and appeared now, they all guessed that they were having their own secret realm which made them even more angry and jealous. ''Looks like it''s time food some coboration with others,'' Since they could not kill the vagrant cultivators all by themselves, they could keep aside all their hatred for one another in killing them. However, they were waiting for others to approach them for coboration. ''That''s right! After today, the royal family would surely send invitations to them to the ''Champions contest''. As long as my family and other families have a small talk about it, everything will go smoothly,'' All the great families are having the same thoughts. Not only the great families, but even the three sects were also having almost the same thoughts. "Commander Reid, send invitations to all the personal disciples today," As for the royal family, King Stephen looked excited as he ordered the middle-aged man in front of him. "Yes, your majesty," Commander Reid''s words didn''t contain any respect as he directly started moving out of the hall after receiving his orders. ''This year''s event is going to be great,'' Stephen didn''t mind Commander Reid''s attitude as he thought about the ''Champion''s contest.'' "By the way, you have to go their personally and give those invitations along with some gifts from the treasury," Just when Commander Reid was about to exit the hall, he heard Stephen king''s words that made him halt in his tracks. ''Nods'' Without even turning his head, Commander Reid nodded his head before leaving the hall. ''Appear'' After Commander Reid left the hall, Stephen silently thought in his head and as soon as he said that some shadows materialized from the corners of the hall before bowing to the King. "So, give me the intel on the participants of the champion''s contest," Looking at 10 masked figures in front of him, Stephen asked for some information. "Yes, master," The masked figure which looked bigger than other masked figures took two steps towards the king as he said, "Almost all of them reached the general realm except for a single young man." The masked figure''s voice was eerie which would make those heard shivers at his tone. "Oh...nice...nice," King Stephen revealed an excited look as he nodded his head. "That young name is Ajax; however, it was said that he was capable of killing the cultivators in the mid-general realm with the help of official elemental spirit which belongs to the Dark element," Another masked figure came forward and gave some information on Ajax and his elemental spirit Necros. "Oh...the kid from the summoner king''s inheritance ground," King Stephen remembered Ajax because he was one of the few summoners who didn''t join any top powers and stayed in the mercenary squad. So, of course, King Stephen would remember him. ''The assassin sect sent undead assassins to assassinate him; however, he summoned a general realm element spirit and causally killed them,'' One more masked figure said something interesting that made King Stephen raise his brows before he startedughing. ''Maybe he would create some fluctuations in my contest,'' Stephen silently thought in his head before saying, "Nice work, Royal shadows. You can continue to observe them by maintaining some distance away from them. No one should know about your existence." The masked figures were none other than the Royal shadows who only followed the orders of the king. Although their strength is very limited, they were very good at hiding their presence and gathering information very well. The king had asked some more questions about other participants; however, no other participant made him feel excited like how he felt when he learned about Ajax''s power. "Also, what about ourmander Reid? Is he acting anything suspicious these days?" After finishing that, he finally asked about Commander Reid. He asked them to keep an eye onmander Reid. So, he wanted to know about it. "No, your majesty. He waspletely normal and moreover, he even stopped talking to others. Unless someone speaks to him first, he was not taking any initiative to talk," The masked figure from thest came to the front as he exined his information on Commander Reid. "Huh? Looks like threatening his family worked too well," King Stephen nodded his head as he thought to himself before saying that masked figure, "Even though Commander Reid looks like that, you better be careful in watching him. He is the most intelligentmander I have ever seen. So, don''t be a fool by acting." King Stephen knew how intelligent themander Reid was; however, he could not kill him now. If he did that many of the soldiers would lose faith in the royal family. If Stephen was his younger self, he would have killed Commander Reid along with his supporters in the army; however, he is now the king of the Zrochester province and could not act foolishly. "I will remember your woods, your majesty," The masked figure replied in the same eerie voice just like the first masked figure. "Okay. you can leave now," Soon, King Stephen asked all the royal shadows to leave and continued to do what they were supposed to do. Chapter 678: Starlight Energy Beam

Chapter 678: Starlight Energy Beam

In the depths of the cursed wilderness, "Die," The start lynx opened its mouth and released an energy purple coloured energy beam from its mouth. ''Boom'' ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, a huge explosion urred the moment the energy beam touched the barrier created by the tree treants summoned by Geron. With the explosion, the entire area was covered by dust and from it, a painful groan could be heard. Soon, the dust settled and the two other guardians could finally see what had happened. ''What?'' When the two guardians, Abyss minotaur and Serpent Imp saw their leader fall to the ground, they were shocked as they hurriedly moved to help him. "Leader, are you okay?" Both the guardians rushed towards the leader and asked the Star lynx. "I am fine...fine," Star lynx replied with a growl as he stood on his four legs and looked at the thin barrier around Geron and said, "I didn''t expect your barrier has such an ability to reflect the attacks. No wonder, you dare toe here." Star Lynx eyed Geron as though he had stolen something important from him as he continued, "Let''s see, how long are you going to stay in your turtle shell." ''Damn it. Even my Starlight energy beam was unable to leave a single scratch on the barrier. I have to make him stop shouting'' otherwise, I will be in a trouble,'' Even though his attitude on the surface looked like he didn''t care much about the barrier, inside his heart, he was fearing that what if the king of spirit beasts wakes up from his slumber. ''Phew...thank god I used the advance essence pill and learned a ''skill enhancing'' skill from my ancestral memories,'' Inside the barrier, Geron looked at Star lynx and the other two guardians and thought in his head with an exciting look. ''I have to hurry and wake up him,'' "Big brother, I have any important thing to say to you," He didn''t waste his time looking at the guardians as he started calling the king of the spirit beasts as he knew the barrier would notst for much longer. ''Damn it. He is annoying me to death,'' Hearing Geron''s shouts, the spirit beast looked annoyed as he cursed inside his heart; however, even his strongest attack was unable to do anything to the barrier. So, except for waiting for the barrier to disappear, he could do nothing. ''Crack'' As Geron continued to shout at an old cave as loud as possible, one of the tree treants surrounding Geron made a cracking sound as a small crack appeared on its tree body. "Haha" Even though Star Lynx was a spirit beast, itughed in a pure evil humanugh when he saw the crack in the barrier appear just above that tree treant. "It looks like heavens are in my favour," Star Lynx interestingly looked at the cracks that were appearing at an incredible speed on the barrier and mocked Geron. "You two go and hit the barrier now," Since the barrier was full of cracks, Star lynx ordered his two subordinates to destroy it because he didn''t want Geron to shout one more time. ''...'' However, both the beasts looked at the cracked barrier and were a little hesitant to attack. "Big brother, your guardians are nning something behind your back and want to kill me. Save me," All of a sudden, Geron increased his tone after seeing the cracks on his thin barrier. "Did you hear that? If our king wakes up, then we will be killed right away. Just go and destroy it," For the first time, his subordinates didn''t blindly follow his orders; instead, looked at him in doubt that made the Start Lynx very angry. However, currently, he suppressed his anger as he once again ordered the other two guardians while thinking inside his heart, ''Just wait for some more time. After I ascent to the throne, I will torture you for not following my orders like obedient ves.'' Moreover, the natural cracks on the barrier stopped increasing. So, the star lynx thought as long as they used some attacks on the barrier, it would be destroyed. After receiving the order from their leader, both the beasts looked at the cracked barrier and then looked at Geron''s face which was filled with panic. Seeing that anxiousness in his face, both the spirit beasts didn''t hesitate any longer as they used their powerful attacks on the barrier. ''Abyss rampage sh'' ''Myriad fire strike,'' Abyss minotaur and Serpent imp used one of their powerful long-range attacks fearing that the close-range attacks might be reflected at them. ''sh'' ''ng'' ''Strike'' ''nk'' Even though the barrier was full of crack, even with the two powerful attacks, except for a few more new cracks nothing much happened to the barrier. ''What? Nothing happened?'' ''How powerful that barrier is?'' All the three spirit beasts were surprised at the toughness of the barrier; however, at the same time, both the beasts heaved a sigh of relief that their attacks were not reflected back at them. "Idiots, continue to use the same attacks on the barrier," Seeing that there were some more cracks on the barrier, the Star Lynx ordered them to continue with their ounts. ''Yes,'' Both the beasts nodded their heads and excitedly used their attacks at the barrier. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''ng'' ''Crack'' Soon, they continued to use their attacks on the barrier and with each attack, a new crack continued to appear on the barrier. ''Aargh'' At the same time, Geron groaned in pain and many injuries appeared on his body that made the Star Lynx reveal a cruelugh. "You can take a break. Let me finish this up," Finally, the Star Lynx stopped his two subordinates from attacking the barrier because he felt that the barrier was on itsst leg and as long as he used one of his powerful attacks, he could destroy the barrier along with killing Geron in one go. ''Moreover, after the appearance of cracks on the barrier, it lost its reflecting property. So, I? can use the full power of my Starlight energy beam'','' Just like earlier, the star lynx came near the barrier and said to Geron, "This time, I am going to kill you and don''t worry about your daughter. I will take good care of her...Hehe." "Don''t you dare touch her," All of a sudden, Geron, who was kneeling on the ground because of the injuries that mysteriously appeared on his body, stood up all of a sudden and angrily looked at the star lynx. "What will you do? Or rather what can you do?" The star lynx mocked Geron as he asked him. "If you dare touch her, I am going to kill you," Geron clenched his fists as he said in a low yet deep voice that would make regr elite general realm cultivators shiver. "This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life...Haha," The star lynx startedughing and without wasting any time, he released his ''Starlight energy beam'' from the close range just like before. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he released the energy beam, he hurriedly jumped back fearing that it might bacsh. Chapter 679: Gerons Crazy Skill

Chapter 679: Geron''s Crazy Skill

''Phew'' The first thing the star Lynx did after releasing his ''Starlight Energy Beam'' was to jump back and when there was no reflection of his skill, he heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he was almost sure that the skill-reflection property of the barrier was destroyed with the appearance of the crack, he could not help but have a slight fear because his own skill had some good damage to his body. ''What?'' In the next second, the Star lynx along with the two other guardians were shocked to see that the barrier was still not destroyed. Except for a few more new cracks, it was still staying strong. However, inside the barrier, Geron was entirely covered in his own blood as he revealed an evil smile on his face. "You said you heard the biggest joke in your life, right?" Even with all the blood and injuries on his face, Geron looked at Start lynx with an evil smile as he continued, "You won''t have another day to live anymore...Haha." Geron was in human form from the start and the evil smile on his face looked even crueller because of his innate bestial nature. ''Huh?'' Hearing Geron''s words, the three guardians were puzzled as they didn''t understand where he was getting the courage to speak like that in front of them. "Now, I already wasted too much time with you. Die" ''Snap'' Geron looked very excited for reason and after finishing his words, he snapped his fingers. ''Zap'' As soon as he did that, the barrier finally cracked into pieces which made the guardiansugh; however, their happiness didn''tst for much longer as an energy beam that looked like the one released by the Star lynx came out from the tree treant in front of Geron. However,pared to the Star Lynx''s starlight energy beam, this one looked much more powerful than the earlier one. ''Boom'' They didn''t even have the time to dodge as the starlight energy beam engulfed all three guardians within seconds and a huge explosion was resounded in that area that alerted the other spirit beast kings from the nearby territories. ''What is that explosion?'' ''It ising from the direction of the king''s cave,'' ''Is someone fighting at that ce?'' ''I should go and check out who dares to fight at the ce?'' ''Is it finally time for fighting for the king''s position?'' Even though the explosion was loud, only three spirits beast kings, who were near to the king''s cave were able to notice it and hurriedly rushed towards Geron. All the three were not worried in the least bit; instead, they were excited for some reason. ''Thud'' In front of the king''s cave, Geron slumped to the ground as he looked at the three spirit beasts'' corpses in front of him. Looking at the corpses, Geron heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he thought, ''Even though I killed them, I depleted the 50 percent of my life energy,'' Thinking about how much he had lost in this fight with the guardians, Geron could not help but be sad. When human or spirit beasts are born, they have 100 percent of life energy and with time, that life energy continues to decrease till they start their cultivation journey. Even though with each break through in the cultivation, there will a time where your cultivation stops progressing and your life energy''s depletion will be increased to a huge margin. ording to Geron, in the earlier fight, he had used around 50 percent of his life energy in using the barrier to store all of their attacks inside the barrier. Moreover, he was cunning enough to make them believe that the barrier was cracked when he had done that willingly. ''Anyway, I am alive for now and can live for another 5-6 years without a worry,'' Nevertheless, he felt it was all worth it in the end because he could not afford to die here now. He had yet to send his daughter to the ce where his son had gone. So, even if he had to use 90 percent of his life energy, he would have still done the same thing. ''Damn it...is my big brother dead or what?'' Finally, Geron felt annoyed at the king of spirit beasts who became his big brother but didn''t show himself even when he was getting killed or when he killed his guardians. So, he felt like his big brother must be dead inside. ''I will leave from here. If any of the spirit beasts saw this, I will be killed without any question,'' Since he was heavily injured, Geron thought of leaving here. "Geron!!" However, before he could even take a step, he heard an angry roar from a distance. "You killed the king''s guardians? You are very gutsy, Geron," Just as he turned in the direction where his name was shouted, he heard another angry roar from another direction. "I will kill you for rebelling against the king," Soon, another angry roar from another direction could be heard and within no time three humansnded on the ground from the sky. All three of them were old men around 50 years in age with only a few ck hairs left to turn white. "You three," Geron was shocked to see the three old men surrounding him and revealed a bitter look. ''Looks like I am going to die here,'' He was barely able to stand on his feet and with three spirit beast kings surrounding him, he knew he wouldn''t have a chance to return to his territory. Moreover, he was very sure that they won''t even ask why he killed the guardians because almost all the spirit beast kings were jealous of him for bing the brother of the king. Who said only humans were capable of feeling jealous over others for getting some good things in their life? As long as a spirit beast reaches rank 5, they were almost simr to humans because they could temporarily transform into humans. Not only appearance wise, but they would also get all the emotions that a human had in them. As for before rank 4, depending on the spirit beasts it would change; however, most of the spirit beasts were just insane that only like to kill. "We are¡­," "Don''t waste your breath and just kill me already. I know what you wanted to do for a long time,'' Before one of the old men could even start a sentence, Geron interrupted them as he didn''t want to see them acting like gentlemen who were eliminating a traitor. So, he directly asked them to kill him. "Since you wanted to die that badly, let me avenge you for the three guardians of the king," One of the old men with a bald head whispered something to others before saying his words to Geron. "Now, die," ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, he directly rushed at Geron and swiped his hand which had long nails, at him. ''I hope Keshe''s re-cultivation would be sessful and Ceru help her in ascending to the world my son has ascended,'' Geron closed his eyes and allowed the old man to kill him. Chapter 680: Conditions to reach the King realm

Chapter 680: Conditions to reach the King realm

In the mercenary guild, Since the mercenary guild was very big, within no time everyone freshened up and went to the guest rooms to rest. In one of the guest rooms, Ajax and Darbaudr started talking about something. "Darbaudr, since you are from Ylercester province, do you know anything about King realm and what lies beyond the ''King realm''?" After talking for a while, Ajax asked Darbaudr with a serious expression on his face. It was the question that came to his head after he started his cultivation; however, hepletely forgot about it to ask Darbaudr because he was busy with one thing after another. Nevertheless, he had finally got the time to ask about it. Earlier, he thought to ask Levi; however, since Darbaudr was one the peak elite general realm cultivator, he felt it was better to ask Darbaudr to know more things about cultivation realms after the elite general realm. "Sure, young master," The barbarian nodded his head as he started his exnation to Ajax, "Before saying about the ''King realm'', let me tell you some information prior to that." Ajax didn''t say anything as he nodded his head waiting for Darbaudr to say everything he knew. "When a cultivator reaches the peak elite general realm, he can''t just break through to the ''King realm'' like he breaks through to the general realm or elite general realm. There are some conditions to be met to be a king realm," Barbarian revealed a bitter look on his face when he said hisst sentence. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt something was wrong with the barbarian and thought, ''Maybe he didn''t meet the conditions to be the king realm.'' "It''s okay, Darbaudr. You don''t have to think much about not meeting the conditions for the king''s realm in the past. If it is possible, I will try to help you," Ajax said in a confident tone as he patted the barbarian a little. He was not lying when he said those words as he was very confident in his words because he knew that the system would surely give enough missions and rewards to reach the king realm and moreover, he could help his followers. ''Thinking of follower, why is Lechner taking so much time in his ''Second chance'','' Ajax silent thought in his head as he checked the second chance tab and felt he was still alive. "Young Master, you underestimate me a lot," The barbarian shook his head when he heard Ajax''s words. ''Huh?'' Throwing his thoughts about Lechner aside, Ajax raised his brows after hearing the barbarian''s words. "So, you met the conditions to be the king realm cultivator?" Ajax was shocked when he carefully thought about Darbaudr''s words. "Yes, young master," The barbarian nodded his head agreeing to what Ajax had asked just now. "Then why d..... I get it now," Ajax was about to ask why didn''t he break through to the king realm when he met the conditions to be the king realm; however, before he could finish his sentence, he could guess what must have happened. ''Looks like just when he was about to break through to the King realm, his tribe must have been attacked by the demon apostle and along with the demon king''s army. What a pity,'' Ajax felt it was such a pity that just when King realm was within his reach his spirit consciousness was sealed making him impossible to cultivate anymore. What''s even worse was his entire tribe was wiped out. "Yes, young master. If not for the demon king''s army invading our tribe, I would have be a king realm cultivator and could have saved my tribe from the demon apostle," Darbaudr replied with a bitter look on his face. Although he was able topletely massacre the demon army, he was unable to fight the demon apostle, who was a ''King realm'' cultivator. ''You got to hear my inner thoughts?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment by Darbaudr''s reply to his inner thoughts. Even though he knew Darbaudr could hear the thoughts or voice transmissions between the cultivators, he felt that system would obstruct the barbarian from hearing his thoughts. So, he once again tested Darbaudr by asking something through his thoughts. "Yes, young master; however, when you talk with your master or thinking about the stuff rted to your master, I am unable to hear it," Darbaudr gave some rity about his powers. "Oh" Ajax nodded his head as he was not surprised much by the barbarian''s words. "Don''t think much about your cultivation. Soon, I will unseal your spirit consciousness?and at that time, you can take revenge on the demon apostle that killed your tribe," Ajax tried to motivate the barbarian with his words. "Thank you, young master. I have faith in your words," Darbaudr nodded his head as he revealed a smile on his barbarian face. Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "Now, back to the topic," Darbaudr shook his head as he got out of his thoughts and said to Ajax, "Three conditions have to be met to reach the ''King realm''." "Yes..yes. You already said that thing," Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "What are they?" "One, they have to reach the peak level 10 elite general realm cultivator," Darbaudr didn''t waste any time as he continued exining the three conditions to reach the King realm, "Two, the cultivator needs to gainprehension into the element he has an affinity with," "And thest one, they new to condense a soul with theprehension they gained in the second condition," "So, overall, the three conditions are just a step by step process for an elite general realm cultivator to reach the king realm," After a lengthy exnation, Darbaudr stopped his exnation to allow Ajax to assimte the knowledge he had just said. "The first condition could be achieved with a little bit of hard work; however, the remaining two conditions need some luck along with the hard work," Ajax finally understood why it was very hard to be the king realm. Moreover, adding to the fact that impure essence of the nature of various elements in the Zrochester province, it was almost impossible for the cultivators from this province to be the King realm cultivators. "Yes, young master. There is no one who broke through to the king realm in the Zrochester province; however, there were few cultivators in the past who left this province to other provinces, they were able to break through to the King realm," Darbaudr nodded his head as he exined what he had heard about the cultivators back when he was in his province. "So, about this soul¡­..," "Also, don''t ask anything about forming a soul or rting to it, young master. Every cultivator has to form their own soul with their ownprehension. Even a tiny bit of learning about others soul formation process would affect your ownprehension and soul formation," Before Ajax could finish his sentence, the barbarian interrupted Ajax as he exined another revtion about the soul formation process. ''Oh'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before nodding his head and asked the barbarian with a slight smile on his face, "Let''s talk about other provinces then." Chapter 681: Xacester Province

Chapter 681: Xacester Province

After learning the conditions to break through to the King realm, Ajax finally understood how difficult it was to achieve that feat without a considerable amount of luck. At the same time, he also got why Darbaudr was insanely powerful even with a low cultivation realm. Currently, Darbadur was only a level 1 elite general; however, he could fight Captain Edmond who was around level 5 elite general of course without his elemental spirits. If he summoned elemental spirits, who knows what would happen or how powerful Edmond would be. Even without using his elemental spirit, Edmond could kill the normal level 9-10 elite general realm cultivators. So, Darbaudr could achieve the same thing. ''Killing a Level 10 elite general when he was at only level 1 elite general realm. What kind of concept it is,'' Ajax silently muttered under his breath. Compared to other cultivation realms, the gap between each minor realm in the elite general realm was so huge. So, Ajax was shocked at the battle powers of a cultivator who once gainedprehension into the space element and formed a soul from it. ''Anyway, once reach the elite general realm, I will how powerful that realm,'' Soon, Ajax pushed those thoughts aside as he asked the barbarian, "So, can you say about the provinces. How many provinces or three in this world?" Since he could not learn more about the soul formation process in order not to harm his own soul formation process, he asked another question that was bugging him for some time. "In this world, there aren''t many provinces," Darbaudr started his exnation once again, "There are Zrochester province, Ylercester province and Xacester province." "Oh" Finally, Ajax heard the name of a new province and nodded his head as he waited for the barbarian to continue his exnation. "These three provinces are separated by a barrier that doesn''t allow anyone to enter or exit through them. Not only cultivators or spirit beasts, but even the essence of nature also is not allowed," Darbaudr was nonchnt when exining about these provinces as though he was not affected by the barriers or something like that. "Huh?" Ajax also noticed that look on the barbarian''s face as he didn''t understand why Darbaudr was nonchnt about it. "These barriers don''t affect me at all. As long as I have sufficient cultivation power, I can just pass through them whenever I want to," Seeing the puzzled look on Ajax''s face, Darbaudr exined about his spatial power. "So, once Ipletely unseal your spirit consciousness, take me to your province then," Ajax revealed a slight smile as he jokingly asked the barbarian. "Sure, young master. Even though it will drain my spirit consciousness and make me a little tired, I can take one cultivator along with me," Darbaudr nodded his head as he continued to answer all the questions asked by Ajax rting to those provinces and about the King realm and it''s ssification. However, he didn''t answer all the questions. For those few questions, he would say that "Master, you are too weak and learning about them will only make your cultivation useless because one has to find it on their own." "..." Ajax became speechless when he heard those words because Darbudr sounded just like the system in his head. ''System, you two are not siblings by any chance, right?'' Ajax silently asked the system with a slight smile on his face; however, as usual, the system ignored him. "Let''s do this master, once you reach at least level 10 elite general realm, I will answer all of your questions. That way, it would not change your perspective of the cultivation after reaching the King realm," After thinking for a moment, Darbaudr replied to Ajax as he said a specific cultivation realm for Ajax to achieve before he could answer his other questions. Even though Darabdur considered Ajax as his master, he didn''t answer some questions because it would do no good for him. Moreover, if he answered them before level 10 elite general realm cultivation, it would divert his cultivation path and he would be responsible for that. So, he shook his head as he didn''t answer some of his questions. "Level 10 elite general realm? Okay," Ajax nodded his head as he had enough confidence to reach that level within no time. ''Currently, I am level 2 elitemander, with the help of energy orbs in my spirit consciousness, I can reach level 6 elitemander realm in a second,'' Soon, Ajax started calcting approximately how much time he would need to reach level 10 elite general realm. ''I need toplete three A danger rating missions with some goodpletion rate and it would reward me three energy orbs with two minor realms breakthrough which will help me reach level 2 general realm,'' Ajax was excited as he nned, ''Once I reach the level 2 general realm, I could eat the monster peach to directly reach level 2 elite general realm and afterwards it is only a matter of time before I reach the level 10 elite general realm.'' Ajax clenched his fist as he became excited. "Before I reach the level 10 elite general realm, I willpletely free your spirit consciousness," Ajax replied to Darbaudr and thought, ''Once this ceremony is over, I will ask the vagrant cultivators whether they have any upgrade stones or sess stones with them.'' Currently, Ajax needed only those two items from the vagrant cultivators and as long as he got his hands on them, he could upgrade the ''Seal breakingpass'' and break another seal from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness. "You can go and take rest, Darbaudr," Ajax asked the barbarian to take a rest while he rested too on the bed. "Yes, young master," Darbaudr silently left the room. ''Ding, Congrattions on helping one of your alles, Udo to reach level 5 elite general realm. ''Ding, Mission:- Help the allies has progressed a little. ''Ding, A special reward box is sent to the host''s inventory. Just after a few moments of his sleep, three consecutive system notifications rang in his head waking him up from his sleep. ''Huh? Uncle Udl already assimted the energy from the monster peach? It was much faster than Captain Edmond,'' Ajax didn''t directly open the special reward box; instead, he thought about the time difference for both Captain Edmond and Udo. ''Nevermind, I will open and see what is stored inside this special reward box,'' Ajax didn''t get an answer even after thinking for a few moments and he felt it was just a waste of time to think about it. So, he decided to open the special reward box. ''Knock knock'' Just when he was about to open the special gift box, someone knocked on his door. ''Huh?'' Ajax puzzled at who that might be as he didn''t have any idea. Nevertheless, he stored the special gift box back into the inventory before opening the door. "Ajax, the guild master is calling us. Come fast," It was Levi, who informed Ajax that the guild master was calling them toe out of the building for the event. "Give me two minutes, I wille," As soon as he finished his words, Ajax didn''t wait for any reply as he closed the door. Chapter 682: Summon Crystal

Chapter 682: Summon Crystal

It''s been a while since hest got a special reward box. So, how could he leave it in the middle just like that? So, he wanted to open it before going out to meet the vagrant cultivators. ''System, open the special reward box,'' After closing the door, he didn''t waste any time before ordering the system to open the special reward box. ''Ding, A special reward box is opened. ''Ding, A special item ''Summon crystal'' is found in the special reward box. ''Ding, The special item will be sent to the host''s inventory within a few moments. All of a sudden, three system notifications rang in his head. ''Huh? A Summon crystal?'' This was the first time Ajax was hearing about such an item. So, he waited for the item to be sent to his inventory. So that he could see what it was. ''Come e fast,'' Ajax was in a hurry because he was making Levi wait outside his room. So, he repeated the same words again and again. ''Phew'' It didn''t take much time. Within a couple of seconds, the item was in his inventory as he took it out from the inventory before appraising it. ''Ding, Item name:- Summon crystal (Consumable) Effect:- Can form an unofficial contract with an elemental spirit. Note:- 1) Can''t be used by a summoner. 2) Can only form a contract with one elemental spirit. 3) If the user fails in forming a contract, then the crystal will be destroyed. Item details:- An item usually found in greater worlds and can be used by a non-summoner to form an unofficial contract with an elemental spirit. More details:- When used, the crystal will be integrated into the body of the user and at the same time, his spirit consciousness will be entered into the elemental spirit world to form a contract with an elemental spirit. Later, a small space will be formed simr to spirit consciousness inside the user''s body; however, it is only used for storing the elemental spirit they had formed a contract with. ''Woah'' Soon, theplete details of the ''Summon crystal'' appeared in front of Ajax that made him reveal a surprised look. ''This is really a valuable thing in this province,'' Ajax silently muttered in his head. With the help of this summon crystal, one could own an elemental spirit and have a powerful ally on his side. Moreover,pared to other provinces, the Zrochester province had the least number of summoners. So, it would be a huge help for non-summoner cultivators. ''But, I wonder, why can this thing be only found in a greater world?'' Currently, Ajax was living in a lesser world and except for the name, no one knows about the greater world. However, there were some stories that from time to time, someone would ascend to a greater world. ''I wonder, where they would be going and what a greater world looks like?'' Ajax didn''t have the slightest clue about the greater worlds. Even Elder Boron said he didn''t know anything about it. So, he could not do anything about it. ''Knock knock'' ''Ajax, hurry up. We need to go now,'' While Ajax was thinking about the greater world and other stuff, Levi tapped on the door as he asked Ajax to hurry up. "Coming," Ajax hadpleted what he wanted to do. So, without wasting any time, he directly went out and along with Levi, they both went to meet the vagrant cultivators. Outside the mercenary guild, it was very crowded as it was filled with various mercenaries and cultivators. Not only regr cultivators, the disciples of the top three sects along with the members ofo five great families attended the event to see the faces of the personal disciples of the six vagrant cultivators. Soon, the vagrant cultivators along with their personal disciples showed up and climbed the stage before sitting on the chairs that were already arranged. In the front row six vagrant cultivators and behind them, their disciples were all seated. ''Let''s announce then,'' In the next second, Rulf became the host of the event as he started the event. "We all know who these six cultivators are; however,?most of them thought they were dead because of their sudden disappearance," Rulf looked at the crown below the stage as he continued, "But they were busy on some mission regarding their cultivation." "Anyway, let me introduce them once again as there were many young cultivators and mercenaries gathered here to see them." "Elder Elek is also known as ''The Soul handler''," "The Veiled Matriarch, Madam Sandra," . . .. Soon, Rulf started introducing the six vagrant cultivators while pointing his hand at them. ¡­... "Finally, I was able to see the legendary characters of the Zrochester province," "One day, I should be like that. Without any help from others, I will rise to the top of the Zrochester province with my own hard work," "p" "Idiot. Only hard work is not enough to reach a peak. There should be luck too; otherwise, no matter how much you work hard, you will be trampled by others," ... "I wonder, can I be their personal disciple like them?" "Dream on. With your habit of chasing after every beautiful woman you see, you will never be a good cultivator much less a peak level powerhouse," ¡­.. "I should defeat those personal disciples in the champions contest," "Me too. I will defeat them and prove them they were nothing," ... Just like that many types of conversations started happening in front of the stage. The reason the vagrant cultivators were famous was that they reached their current level of cultivation on their own without the support and any powerful sect or family. In fact, they were even hunted down by some of the powers of the Zrochester province for rejecting the recruitment into their sect or family. Despite all of that, with their hard work along with the little amount of luck, they were able to grow to the stage where the powers that hunted them back then, were no longer acting haughty in front of them. "So, our Elder Elek had chosen Lewis and Jeff as his personal disciples," "As for Madam Sandra, she picked Moon shadow and Bright shadow," . . .. ¡­. "Finally, as for our legendary guild master, he had chosen three disciples named Justice, Paulin and Heavenly raven," Rulf introduced one disciple after another ording to the vagrant cultivator. Soon, he introduced everyone except for Ajax, who was not even present on the stage. "Congrattions" As soon as Rulf finished his speech, everyone congratted the young cultivator behind the vagrant cultivators. ¡­... In the depths of the cursed wilderness, ''This is it,'' The forest fairy king looked at the iing bald old man and closed his eyes as though he finally wanted to have some rest. ''Swoosh'' "Boom" Just when the old man was about to sh his nails through Geron''s neck, that old man felt a bad premonition in his heart as he directly jumped backwards without attacking Geron. ''Who?'' The old man felt a great sense of danger in his heart just a few seconds ago and hurriedly looked in the direction from which the attack came from. However, just as he nced in that direction, he was shocked. Chapter 683: King of the inner section

Chapter 683: King of the inner section

There was no one in the direction where the attack hade from; however, everyone could guess what was the one that stopped the attack and saved Geron. "Your majesty," As soon as they realized who it was, all three old men bowed down in the direction of the old cave and greeted the being inside the cave. "What''s with all themotion in front of my abode?" An extremely annoyed and loud voice came from the old cave that made all three spirit beasts kings in the human form shivered at those words. "Sorry for disturbing your sleep, your majesty," Among the three spirit beast kings, the old man with bald head was very anxious and hurriedly exined, "Your majesty, this traitor has killed your three guardians for some unknown reason. So, we are punishing him." Even though it was just an excuse for the bald human formed spirit beast king, he acted like he was killing a traitor and doing a good thing for their inner section. It was known to all 10 spirit beast kings that their king had a close rtionship with Geron because of his Geron''s son who assumed to be ascended to a greater world. Geron''s son was bound to be much stronger than anyone in the Zrochester province. So, their king even announced to the entire inner section of the cursed wilderness that Geron could call him ''Big brother''. Of course, it was not liked by the spirit beast kings and waited for a time to kill Geron and erase his territory in the middle section. "Who are you to punish? Just because you are ranked first among the 10 spirit beast kings doesn''t give you the right to punish him," The same loud voice came from the cave that resounded like drums in the ears of the three beast kings. The inner section of the cursed wilderness is ruled by a single spirit beast king and under him, there are 10 spirit beast kings who look after various regions in the inner section which gave the king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness to cultivate in his old cave. And these 10 spirit beast kings were ranked from 1 to 10 depending on their cultivation, battle prowess and their own army. The spirit beast king in the form of a bald human was the powerful one among all the ten spirit beast kings. Be it cultivation, battle prowess or army, he was almost like a second king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. So, he always acts haughty and mighty. "Your majesty, that I¡­.," "That''s enough. You can just leave. I will take care of this issue," Before the bald man could finish his words, the majestic voice from the cave asked him and the two other spirit beast kings to leave from there. "As you order, your majesty. We will take our leave," "We will take our leave," Soon, the bald human along with the two other humans left from there. ''You are one hell of a lucky bastard, Geron,'' However, before they left, the bald human transmitted his voice to Geron as he scoffed at him. ''Scoffs'' The second and third-ranked spirit beasts also scoffed at Geron before following behind the first ranked spirit beast king. "Little brother,e inside," After the three spirit beast kings left that ce, the majestic voice asked Geron toe into the old cave. "Big brother, it was your guardians¡­.," For the entire time, Geron remained silent because he was unable to speak with all the attacks his barrier had taken and stored from the three guardians. Amidst this fight with the guardians, Geron lost hope and felt that the king of the spirit beast was intentionally abandoning him. However, when he heard the majestic voice asking him toe inside the cave, Geron was overwhelmed that he was not abandoned and tried to exin the whole situation that happened with the three guardians. "You don''t need to exin all that. I know you about them very well and also about you," The majestic voice softened a little as he interrupted Geron from exining the entire situation. "Thank you, Big brother," Geron really felt very thankful for those words and tried to walk into the old cave with a body full of injuries. ''Thud'' However, just as he took a couple of steps, he slumped to the ground because of those injuries. Actually, he was barely able to maintain his consciousness to exin that he didn''t do anything wrong to the king of the inner section and after hearing the king''s words, he was satisfied and stopped worrying about other things which made him copse to the ground. ''Sigh'' The being inside the king sighed after sensing that Geron lost his consciousness. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a dried tree branch of around one-meter diameter came out of the old cave and continued to extend till it reached the unconscious Geron. In the next moment, it wrapped around Geron before taking him inside the old cave. ¡­.. After one hour, In the main hall of the mercenary guild, "Phew...finally the event is over," Rulf heaved a sigh of relief as he slumped onto a chair as he stretched his body and thought, ''Compared to fighting, hosting an event in front of thousands of cultivators is really difficult.'' The event didn''tst for much longer and within less than an hour, everything was finished and the vagrant cultivators along with their personal disciples returned to the main hall. Edmond, Udo and Darbaudr also joined them in the main hall. "You did well, Rulf," The guild master, who sat on another chair, replied to Rulf before looking at other vagrant cultivators and asked, "What do you think will happen now?" Since the event was over, the guild master and others started sharing their opinions simr to how they discussed before the event. "As we expected, the royal family gave the invitations to every one of our disciples," "However, I didn''t expect the royal family would even give our personal disciples some valuable gifts," "King Stephen must be thinking that our personal disciples are weak. So, he gave some gifts that would help our disciples increase their cultivation realms," . .. . ¡­. The discussion continued to go on and finally, the guild master looked at the personal disciples in the main hall before saying, "Did you hear everything?" "From this moment, you might be killed at any time and at any moment," "Even though most of them would wait until the champions contest, everyone would be not like that and they just want you to not grow powerful," With each line the guild master said to the young cultivators, his voice became increasingly deep which made all the young cultivators clench their fists. The reason he made everyone listen to their conversation was to let them know how serious things would be from now on. "Everyone listen carefully, you only have this one day to rest. You can rest as much as you want today because your special training will be starting from tomorrow onwards. This includes you," Finally, the guild master finished all his advice while looking at Ajax. Chapter 684: Spinning roulette

Chapter 684: Spinning roulette

Since all the vagrant cultivators agreed to allow Ajax to undergo the special training along with their personal disciples, the guild master directly said to Ajax. "Me?" Ajax was puzzled for a moment; however, after thinking for a bit, he understood why they were so generous even when he was not their personal disciple. ''Even though they are only allowing me into the special training because of my ''Dream'' master, still, they are very generous for giving me their cultivation resources,'' Ajax silently thought in his head As long as a cultivator lives in Ramon''s secret realm, the eternal garden, they could definitely reach the general realm with ease and with some effort, they would even reach the elite general realm. Moreover, since it was called special training, Ajax could guess that there would be many cultivation resources. So, Ajax felt they were very generous. "Yes. We will be using our best cultivation resources. So, you use it for your advantage and increase your strength as high as possible," The guild master nodded his head as he replied to Ajax. "Thanks," Ajax only said a single word in reply to the guild master''s words to all the vagrant cultivators. ''Excellent'' Edmond and Udo were surprised when they first heard the guild master''s words just like Ajax; however, after thinking they also got the reason for the vagrant cultivators'' generosity. "Everyone, you can go now and take a rest," Since they would not get any more rest from tomorrow, the guild master asked everyone to leave. "Yes, guild master," They nodded their heads at the guild master and with a light bow, everyone left from the main hall. "You two can continue toplete the A+ tasks from the mission board and get stronger before the ''Champions contest''. Things might not go as we wish," After the young cultivators left, the guild master said to Edmond, Udo and Darbaudr with a serious expression on his face. Since Ajax would be moving from one secret realm to another secret realm along with other young cultivators, Darbaudr nned to stick with Edmond toplete the missions from the mercenary guild. "Yes, guild master," Edmond and others could understand what the guild master was saying to them. ording to the guild master''s assumption, anything would happen at the champions contest. Fighting was inevitable when powerful forces gathered and except for bing stronger to fight, they could not do other things. "You can go now," Soon, the guild master asked Edmond and others to leave the main hall. "Now, let''s n their special training step by step for the next 10 days," In the end, only the six vagrant cultivators and Rulf were left in the main hall as they started nning the special training for the young cultivators in a more detailed way. ...¡­ ''Damn it...I forgot to ask for the upgrade stones and the sess stones from the vagrant cultivators once again,'' After returning to his room, Ajax shook his head with a sigh. ''Leave it...they are already giving me special training. It would not look if I ask them about other things,'' Ajax thought in his head as continued to think, ''Moreover, I can always ask Elder Ramon, who seemed quite fun to talk.'' Ajax felt that if he asked for those two stones from the vagrant cultivators, he would be taking full advantage of them. So, he thought of exchanging the stones for something else from Elder Ramon. However, what Ajax didn''t know was, among all the vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon was the most stingy one and if he found a way to exploit someone he would continue to do that. "Anyway, let me see what are the useful items in my inventory," It''s been a long time, he checked his own inventory. So, he thought of checking it. In his inventory, there were many items that he looted from his killings and the rewards for the system missions. ''Spirit stones of almost all regr elements, weapons, various pills, crystals...,'' Looking at the almost filled inventory, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his face. "Oh" All of a sudden, his eyes fell on an item and his eyes sparkled. "I wille back for you before checking other things," However, he didn''t take out the item from the inventory; instead, he continued to search for any items he forgot to use in his inventory. However, his luck was not so good. Except for one item which he could use now, he didn''t find any other items in his inventory. Nevertheless, there were some items like Summon crystal, cultivation technique crystal for battle beasts; however, there was still time for him to use those items. Actually, whenever a good thing appeared from the reward or looting he would usually use it at the same time. So, there was not much left for him. "If the inventory has no useful items, I will go for the ''Roulette'' tab," Ajax was not disappointed for not finding any good item and silently ordered the system, ''Open the ''Roulette tab''.'' Soon an imaginary roulette with empty columns materialized in front of him. ''Ding, Avable spin for the roulette:- 6 After the roulette was materialized, the system sent a notification informing him about his lucky spins. Ajax didn''t use the lucky spins the whole time as he wanted the spins to be umted then he could go on a spinning spree in the roulette tab. "Good," Ajax nodded his head as he prayed the heavens before saying, "Spin" ''Swoosh'' Soon, some item names appeared on the roulette before it started spinning. ''Ding Gained a mid-grade spirit stone It only spun for a few seconds before the pointer stopped on a column that had mid-grade spirit stone. ''Next'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he continued to spin the roulette ''Ding, Gained a mid-level upgrade stone. ''Huh? Really?'' Ajax was excited with the second spinpared to the first spin. He already had 3 mid-grade spirit stones with him which he got from the lightning hawk tribe from the fight element world. So, when he got another mid-grade spirit stone, he was not excited much; however, it was not the case with the upgrade stone. Moreover, he was searching for those stones everywhere for upgrading the seal breakingpass. ''As long as I get a mid-grade or above sess stone, then I can upgrade the seal breakingpass to the peak heaven grade,'' Ajax was excited; however, he suppressed his emotions because the system likes to show him some hope and make things difficult for him. So, he tried to be nonchnt with the second spin. Soon, he continued to use one spin after another in roulette. ''Spin'' ''Spin'' ''Spin'' ''Ding, Gained a single minor realm energy orb ''Ding, Gained an elemental paradise upgrade crystal. ''Ding, Gained a mid-grade sess stone. In a flow, he spun the roulette three times and he felt all the items he got from the spins were good; however, when he saw the mid-grade sess stone, Ajax almost could not believe his eyes as he rubbed and checked whether he was imagining or he was truly lucky today. "System, I love you," Ajax was so excited now that he said the system he loves it for the second time since he gained the system. Chapter 685: Re-cultivation technique crystal

Chapter 685: Re-cultivation technique crystal

Ajax felt he was very lucky today that he got both Upgrade stone and Sess stone from the roulette tab. Even though they were not top-tiers items, currently he needed those items. So, they were much more valuable than the top-tier items. ''Other than upgrade stone and sess stone, I can use the energy orb and elemental paradise upgrade crystal immediately,'' Next, Ajax thought about the other two items, in which he used energy orb many items; however, it was his first time seeing the elemental paradise upgrade crystal. Nevertheless, from the name, he could guess what it was used for. ''Let me see theplete information on the elemental paradise upgrade crystal,'' He silently muttered to himself and soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental paradise upgrade crystal (Level 1) Use:- This can be used to upgrade a grade 1 elemental paradise into grade 2. ''Although it can upgrade only grade 1 elemental paradise, it is still a good item since it came from the roulette tab,'' Currently, he has four elemental paradises of which one is grade 3, two paradises are grade 2 and only one is still in grade 1. So, he thought he could upgrade it to grade 2 with this upgrade crystal. ''I will enter the inner world after thisst spin,'' He just wanted to use all spin in the roulette for now before focusing on other things. ''Since I got all good items, maybe I should keep my hopes low for the 6th spin,'' So far, Ajax used five lucky spins in the roulette and everything spin gave a good item; however, it also made him feel that he would not get anything better in thest spin. ''Spin'' With that thought in his mind, he used thest spin. ''Ding, Gained a re-cultivation technique crystal. "Huh?" Looking at the system notification, Ajax was surprised as he didn''t expect he would get something like that. Actually, every time the roulette spins, the items on it changes intopletely new ones. Moreover, there was not enough time for Ajax to check each and every item and even if there was time, he felt not looking at the items in the roulette was the best thing to do. Looking at the items only makes him more hopeful and greedy and even if he got a good item, it would feel like his luck was not good. "I wonder what recultivation technique I got," Ajax was curious about the item he got from thest spin and hurriedly asked the system to him about the item. A re-cultivation technique is useful for a spirit beast to re-cultivate into humanoid form and by doing so, their battle prowess would be increased along with their cultivation potential. However, spirit beasts from different races need different cultivation techniques to re-cultivate. He has many spirit beasts and he needed more re-cultivation techniques for them to re-cultivate. So, he wanted to learn what type of re-cultivation technique he had got. ''Ding, Item name:- Re-cultivation technique crystal. Use:- To re-cultivate into a humanoid form. More details:- Can only be used by Earth element and bear-type spirit beasts. "Excellent," After reading more details, Ajax startedughing and thought, ''Looks like my luck is increasing with each spin. Unfortunately, I don''t have any more spins to rotate.'' The re-cultivation technique exined that only bear-type spirit beasts with earth elements could use it and luckily he had two spirit beasts. ''Anyway, with this re-cultivation technique, I will have another two re-cultivated spirit beasts,'' With the re-cultivation technique he got just now, he could make both the father-son golden bear kings re-cultivate into humanoid forms. He already had three re-cultivated spirit beasts as his contracted spirit beasts and with this single-cultivation technique, he would have another two re-cultivated spirit beasts. "Now, I will enter the inner world," Soon, he slept on his bed as his spirit consciousness form entered the inner world. ''Swosh'' Within a few moments, he appeared in the inner world and felt the pure essence of nature entering into his spirit consciousness. ''What a pure essence of nature'' Compared to the outside world, the inner world had three times more pure essence of nature. So, of course, he felt nice to stay inside the inner world. "First, I need toplete what I came here for, then I can take a stroll around the inner world," Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly floated towards the only grade 1 elemental paradise in the inner world. Soon, he reached the firie-water dual elemental paradise where Volcanis were cultivating inside the magma region whereas the Sea tauren, Damilus was cultivating in the water region. "Master," As soon as he reached there, Vocanis hurriedly came out of the magma region and greeted him. However, the sea tauren nced at Ajax for a moment beforeing out of the elemental paradise without much interest. "You can cultivate after I upgrade it," Ajax knew the only reason why the sea tauren had formed a contract was because of the water elemental paradise. So, when he saw the dejected look on his face, Ajax replied with a slight smile. ''System, I wanted to upgrade the fire-water dual elemental paradise,'' After saying that, he didn''t wait for any reply from the sea tauren as he directly asked the system. ''Ding, Do you want to use the elemental paradise upgrade crystal? ''Yes,'' Ajax nodded his head and gave confirmation to the system. ''Ding, The fire-water dual elemental paradise is currently under upgrade. ''Ding, Please wait one hour for the upgrade toplete. Soon, a couple of system notifications rang in his head asking him to wait for an hour which he informed Volcanis and Sea tauren before leaving from that ce. Next, he went to the golden bears where the senior fuzzball and it were training the little fuzzball. "Master," Seeing Ajax from a distance, the little fuzzball ran to him. As for it and the senior fuzzball, they respectfully greeted Ajax. Ajax nodded his head and patted the little golden bear king and while looking at the senior golden bear king, he said, "You have some good news." After saying that line, he three a khaki colour scroll at him. "Master...th...this i..is¡­," Even though the golden bear king didn''t know what was inside the scroll but it made his entire body excited after touching it. "It is a re-cultivation technique for you to gain the humanoid forms along with many other benefits," Ajax revealed a slight smile as hepletely exined the re-cultivation technique and the process. The golden bear king is a spirit beast of the cursed wilderness, so it didn''t have any knowledge about the re-cultivation process and re-cultivation technique. To be honest, except for Geron, the ten spirit beast kings and the king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness and few more important people know about the re-cultivation technique only because of Keshe''s brother. So, after learning everything about the re-cultivation technique, the golden bear king clenched his paw and looked at the little golden bear king before saying, "I will try this re-cultivation technique first and then give it to my son." Chapter 686: Ajaxs powerful master

Chapter 686: Ajax''s powerful master

Using the re-cultivation technique, there is some risk. The spirit beast had to endure so much pain before it couldplete the process. The golden bear king didn''t want to take any risk by allowing his son to re-cultivate first; instead, he wanted to use the re-cultivation technique for him before thinking about whether to give it to his son or not. ''Only if the benefits are good, I will give him; otherwise, it''s better to wait until he was old enough to endure the pain,'' No parents want their children to endure pain just for some little benefits. Even though the golden bear king was a spirit beast, the love for his child is no less than love from a human father to a son. "Okay, you can do whatever you want; however, it was my right to clearly exin?a few more things before you do that," Ajax revealed a slight smile when he noticed the golden bear king''s love for his child and started exining, "The first time using the re-cultivation technique is more beneficialpared toter usage." "As for the benefits, even I don''t know; however, I am sure that, his potential would be increased a lot and can surpass the rank 6 realm and enter into the king realm," Ajax didn''t wait for any reply from the golden bear king as he finished his exnation with this line, "As for what you want to do, it is your wish." Next, he looked at it and ordered him, "When one of them undergoes the re-cultivation technique, givepany to the other one." it and the two golden bear kings had a good rtionship. So, he asked it to apany one of the bears who would not undergo the re-cultivation process. After giving his order to the earth elemental spirit, Ajax started strolling around his inner world for some time beforeing to the centre of the inner world. At the centre of the inner world, the grade 3 mini-lightning pool was situated and besides that, a herb garden was filled with many herbs which were increasing the purity of the essence of nature in the inner world. Almost all the herbs in the herb garden were rank 4 and rank 3 and only a very few herbs were rank 2. All those herbs were well maintained by his Golem. "Huh? Why is there no herb growing in that ce?" While observing the golem and herbs in the herb garden, Ajax frowned as he closed his eyes and connected with the inner world to see what was wrong at the ce. ''Sigh'' Soon, he found a familiar seed at the ce and shook his head before sighing. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he opened his eyes and with a wave of his hands, the seed which was buried in the herb garden floated out and fell in his hands. ''I will ask Elder Ramon about it,'' Ajax didn''t like the seed because there was no information about the seed in the system and even with the ''Pay to Know'' option, the system was not helping him with it. So, he decided to ask Elder Ramon who had great knowledge regarding nts and spirit beasts. ''If even he doesn''t know about you, I am going to throw you out of my inner world,'' Ajax said to the seed in his hand before tossing it in his inventory. ''Everyone is bing stronger at an incredible speed. I should notg behind and need to catch up to them,'' Looking at all the elemental spirits and Spirit beasts, Ajax looked satisfied and at the same time his will to be stronger as grown any more. Most of his summons had already reached the peak of the rank 4 realm to the peak elitemander realm. So, he wanted to increase cultivation as much as possible. ''I will go and use that item now,'' Soon, Ajax became excited as he came out of the inner world and silently muttered, ''Dream resistant pill.'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said that, a small light purple coloured pill appeared in his hand. ''Since my spirit consciousness capacity could not be increase by normal means till I breakthrough into the general realm, I will use this,'' Looking at the small pill in his hands, Ajax excitedly thought in his head before tossing it into his mouth. Dream resistant pill is a pill that could make the consumer immune to dream and illusion type attacks. However, it was not Ajax''s main reason for using this pill as it has another use. The pill is capable of increasing the capacity of the spirit consciousness by 1000 units. So, Ajax wanted to use it more. As long as his spirit consciousness had more than 10000 units of the essence of nature, he could upgrade his main cultivation technique to level 3. As soon as he tossed the pill into his mouth, it instantly melted and released a huge amount of pure essence of nature along with some other energy that rushed into the spirit consciousness before it started hitting the walls of the spirit consciousness as though they wanted to st his spirit consciousness. ''Arghh'' Soon, he felt a simr bone-wrecking pain which he didn''t feel for a while now and started groaning in pain clutching his head. ¡­. "Something happened to Ajax?" In the main hall, the guild master and other vagrant cultivators sensed that something was not right with Ajax. They were so powerful that they could sense things even from long distances. So, the moment, Ajax started groaning in pain, they were able to sense it. "Should we go and look?" Elder Ramon hurriedly asked the guild master. The moment he sensed that something was not right with Ajax, he used his full focus to see inside Ajax''s room with his spirit consciousness form; however, some huge force was blocking his spirit sense and the moment his spirit sense came into contact with that force, his spirit consciousness bounced back. "Looks like the powerful cultivator is training Ajax through his dream," The same thing happened with the guild master and other vagrant cultivators'' spirit consciousness forms. So, they directly rted it to Ajax''s master. "He is very powerful. Even though he was not here, he was capable of blocking our spirit consciousness form. He is much powerful than we thought," All the vagrant cultivators felt excited when they had this thought. Because as long as they look after Ajax, the powerful cultivator from his dreams would help them with their cultivation which met a bottleneck. "Rulf, you go and stand guard at Ajax''s door and don''t allow others to enter his room or disturb him," Soon, the guild master asked Rulf to stand guard at Ajax''s room. The guild master and others were sure that the powerful cultivators were only blocking the spirit consciousness forms and if they went in person, they might enter Ajax''s room. So, he wanted to be more careful than sorryter on. "Yes, master," Rulf nodded his head as immediately left the main hall and stood guard in front of Ajax''s room. "Looks like we need to inform him about Ajax," After Rulf left, the guild master said to others, who nodded their heads in agreement. Chapter 687: Void transportation array

Chapter 687: Void transportation array

In the assassin sect, ''Crack'' "Damn it...it''s been around five days since the assassination circle had been destroyed," The assassin sect leader was so angry that he mmed the table in front of him and turned it into dust. Even after spending a lot of spirit stones to keep the posters of Lechner and his perpetrators, there was not a single clue on them so far. Moreover, many greedy cultivators wanted to take advantage of their situation making the sect leader Gerg even angrier. ''Along with that, the headquarters is continuously asking about the mission which had no progress at all. Should I go myself to assassinate him?'' Currently, among all the top powers of the Zrochester province, only the assassin sect''s situation is not so good and as soon as the other powers learn that their headquarters had abandoned them, then it was the start of their destruction. Thinking about all these things, the sect leader Gerg could not help but bitterly shook his head. ''Sigh'' Finally, after some time, he suppressed his emotions as he called his servant, who was standing at the door. "So, how did the so-called disciple selection ceremony of the vagrant cultivators have gone?" After his servant entered his cultivation chamber, the sect leader Gerg asked him. "Sect leader Gerg, it went well and everyone got the invitation to join the Champion''s contest from the royal family," The servant gave a glimpse of what happened in the event that made the sect leader Gerg raise his brows. "Hmm" The sect leader Gerg nodded his head, "You can go now." Since the servant exined everything he wanted to say, the sect leader Gerg asked him to leave. "Leader, leader" Just as the servant turned around to leave, another servant cameing into the room. "What is it?" The sect leader Gerg didn''t like it when people came into his cultivation chamber without asking. So, he released his cultivation pressure and asked that servant with a scoff on his face. "Se...sect le...leader...I...have¡­.an...important...news," The servant was just a general realm assassin and he could barely endure the pressure from the sect leader Gerg as he replied while gritting his teeth. "Hmph...say," The sect leader Scoffed as he retracted his pressure and asked him to say the important news. "It''s from the headquarters," The servant heaved a sigh of relief when the pressure was gone and taking a deep breath, he said to the sect leader Gerg. "Stop keeping me in suspense and say it already," The sect leader Gerg was shocked by those words as he warned the servant to say the news already. "They sent an item through the void transportation and asked me to give it to you as soon as possible," While saying that, the servant gave a box to the sect leader. Void transportation is the long-distance transportation of items using an array along with a huge amount of spirit stones. As for exactly how many spirit stones were needed to activate that ''Void transportation array'', even the sect leader Gerg didn''t have a clue. ''This is¡­,'' Taking the box from the servant, the sect leader Gerg was puzzled as he didn''t know what the headquarters had sent. "You may leave now," However, no matter how curious he was, he would not open the box in front of a lowly servant. So, he asked him to leave. "Haha...I can finally give this thing to my disciple and then I will ask him to kill the disciples from the other power and mainly the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators," As soon as the servant entered his cultivation chamber, the sect leader Gerg waved his hands and the doors were closed on their own, before opening the small box. In that box, there were only two items; however, one item already gave the sect leader Gerg quite a satisfaction as he startedughing. For him, as long as the talented young cultivators from other top powers were killed, it was a good thing. However, how could it be that easy? Nevertheless,pared to the young cultivators from the top powers, the sect leader Gerg felt killing the personal disciples in the champions contest was an easy thing. ''Even though the headquarters seemed dissatisfied with my assassin sect, it was quite generous by giving this thing,'' While thinking that, he took out a green coloured fruit from the box before checking it. It was none other than the monster peach that could increase the cultivation of a whole major realm if consumed by a level 1 or level 2 general realm cultivator. So, the first thing, he thought after seeing the monster peach in the wooden box was his personal disciple who was in the general realm. "Let''s see what is there on the scroll. It must be definitely the instructions," The sect leader Gerg could guess what would be in the scroll because giving a monster peach for his sect was already a very generous thing in a situation like this. ''Sect leader Gerg, the headquarters is very disappointed with your assassin sect over and over again. So, finally, the headquarters is giving you a final chance along with a pre-bonus for your sect,'' Soon, the sect leader Gerg started the scroll without wasting any time; however, in the beginning, his expression was not good because the headquarters were not satisfied with them. However, as he continued to read it, he was able to heave a sigh of relief because the headquarters was once again giving them another chance to prove their worth to the headquarters. ''Use the monster peach imbued with the dark essence of our ancestor and give it to one of our talented disciples. As long as they consume it, there would be definitely more than one major realm increment in their cultivation along with dark energy that could temporarily increase the strength of the cultivator by another 2-3 minor realms.'' ''What?'' The sect leader Gerg was shocked when he read that it was not a normal monster peach and the benefits were also good. ''Calm down and let''s see what the headquarters wants from us,'' Soon, the sect leader Gerg calmed himself as he continued to read the scroll, ''So, all you have to do now is make that disciple kill as many talented young cultivators from the other top powers. As long as you can kill them, their next generation would be weak and then the assassin sect would be the sole ruler of the Zrochester province.'' By the time he reached the end of the scroll, the sect leader Gerg understood the true intention of the headquarters. Also, at the same time, he was quite excited when he thought about bing the sole ruler of the Zrochester province. "From my assassin sect, there are only three disciples got the royal invitation of which two were disappeared and only one is remaining," The sect leader Gerg didn''t have to think much about whom he should give the monster peach to because currently, there was only one disciple in the sect who could participate in the champion''s contest and he was none other than his personal disciple. Chapter 688: +1000 units

Chapter 688: +1000 units

''This time I should not disappoint the headquarters,'' Looking at the monster peach in the wooden box, the sect leader Gerg thought in his head. With that thought in his mind, the sect leader Gerg came out of his cultivation chamber and went to meet his disciple, who was in seclusive cultivation. ... Not only the assassin sect, but even the fire sword sect got the cultivation resources that could increase their disciples'' cultivation in the shortest possible time. However, they didn''t send many resources and they were only sufficient for a single disciple to reach the elite general realm. As for why their backer didn''t send more resources to them because the cultivation resources they sent already were too valuable and moreover, sending them through the void transportation also cost them a huge number of spirit stones. ''You should kill the young cultivators from the other powers and moreover importantly people from the royal family and the vagrant cultivators'' disciples,'' This was the order given by the fire sword sect leader to his personal disciple and other disciples who were going to participate in the champions'' contest. ¡­. In the guest room of the mercenary guild, ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness'' capacity is increased by 1000 units. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 7000/ 11000 units of the essence of nature. The paining from forcefully increasing Ajax''s spirit consciousness came to an end along with two system notifications. ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after the pain subsided as he thought, ''Looks like, from now on, using methods like this to increase the capacity of the spirit consciousness will be more painful.'' Hepared the pain he received from his previous increment in the spirit consciousness capacity and found out the pain was much higher and he was sure that it would only increase in the future. ''Ding, The host is now immune to all illusion and dream-type attacks as long as the attacks were not from a very powerful cultivator. Just as he was wiping his sweat from his forehead, he received another system notification that made reveal a satisfied smile on his face; however, he didn''t bother much about it because he had already known about that effect. "I will take a break for sometime before increasing my cultivation," While rxing on his soft bed, Ajax thought about his next ns. After today, he would be under special training. So, he wanted toplete all the pending things today. Currently, he had the energy orbs that could instantly increase his cultivation by 5 minor realms. Now, he could use them without any fear because of his ''Dream'' master. ''Moreover, I can''t use these energy orbs in the general realm. So, why waste them by storing them inside my spirit consciousness,'' Ajax silently muttered in his head but he still didn''t use it as he wanted to take some break because he was still recovering from the pain from earlier. ''Wait a second. I think, before that, I should use the battle beasts crystal,'' All of a sudden, he remembered the battle beasts crystal which could continue to make the spirit beasts without any bloodline into battle beasts making them on par with the spirit beasts with the bloodline/ ''Sigh'' However, soon, he rejected that thought from his mind because he had to find a specific ce to use the battle beasts and turn that ce into a ''battle beasts formation ce''. He could not use it anywhere near the mercenary guild or other ces where the other top powers would notice. ''I can''t ce that in my inner world,'' Also, cing that crystal in the inner world was not a good thing for him because he had to form a contract with all the normal spirit beasts in order for them to enter the inner world. ''I can only use it in that ce. It is convenient and at the same time, it is far away from the top powers. Moreover, even cultivators would rarely go to the ce,'' After thinking for some time, Ajax finally found a ce where he could use that crystal and revealed a slight smile on his face. ''However, I can only go there after my special training is over,'' Ajax stopped thinking about the battle beasts crystals and started thinking about something else. ''I wonder how the battle tower trials are going for my summons,'' After he came out of the battle tower, Ajax gave the fullmands of sending his summons one after another to make sure of using the battle tower to its best. ''Ding, Opening battle tower records of the host''s summons. Soon, a huge halographic screen started loading in front of him after he received the system notification and the information on it continued to upgrade slowly along with the ''Ding'' sound in his head. ''Ding, Nite cleared three halls in the firstyer of the battle tower. ''Ding, Dabrus cleared two halls in the firstyer of the battle tower. ''Ding, Spirus cleared one hall in the firstyer of the battle tower. ''Ding, Damilus, the sea tauren cleared five halls in the firstyer of the battle tower. . . . . ¡­ He got theplete records of his summons'' performance in the battle tower that made him satisfied. ''As expected of the rare spirit beast, Damilus was able to clear five halls,'' Among all his summons, Sea tauren was able to clear the highest number of the hall in the firstyer of the battle tower in the first attempt. So, he nodded his head at his performance; however, he didn''t look down on his other summons because he knew how important the ''luck'' factor was when someone challenges the battle tower. What Ajax had said was from his own observations. For example, if someone enters that unknown hall in the battle tower, then without a doubt they would be instantly killed just like how he and Cerauno were killed before they could even see the hall guardian. So, he nodded his head as he was satisfied with their performances. ''Ding, The host only needs to pay 10000 units of the essence of nature to re-enter the battle tower within the cooldown time. All of a sudden, he got a system notification asking him about the payment of the essence of nature. Originally, the payment was 15000 units of the essence of nature; however, earlier, when his spirit consciousness was filled with the essence of nature, he sent the extra essence of nature into the battle tower. ''Nope. I am still not strong enough to face that unknown hall''s guardian. So, I will not waste my 5000 units of the essence of nature,'' Ajax was not confident enough to go against the hall''s guardian without his summons. ''Moreover, I need to save the essence of nature and increase it to 10000 units of the essence of nature. So, I can finally upgrade my main cultivation technique,'' There was another reason why he didn''t think much before rejecting the system''s notification and it was to save the essence of nature to upgrade his main cultivation technique to level 3. ''I will increase my essence of nature using the spirit stones before using the energy orbs,'' Soon, he took out a pile of spirit stones and started absorbing the essence of nature from it. Chapter 689: Primeval Ent, Skaros

Chapter 689: Primeval Ent, Skaros

While Ajax was busy increasing the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness to upgrade his main cultivation technique, all the other young cultivators werepletely resting because after today, they would be undergoing special training and after that, they have to participate in the champions contest. Even though everyone was excited,pared to others, Edmond''s nine children were the most excited ones among all as they were waiting for a chance to show those so-called top powers what they were capable of. .... In the depths of the cursed wilderness, ''Huh?'' In an old cave, Geron finally opened his eyes and saw the stctites which were protruding from the ceiling of the cave. ''Where am I?'' That was his first thought after waking up as he hurriedly looked at his surroundings. ''Aargh'' He was too fast with the body movements that made him groan in pain from the earlier injuries which were just healed. ''I remember now. Big brother asked those three beast kings to go away and asked me toe into the cave; however, I don''t know what happened after that,'' Soon, he recalled what happened before he opened his eyes just a while before thinking, ''I wonder how much time has passed after I passed out?'' While thinking that, he continued to check his surroundings as though he wanted to find someone. "You need to rest for some more time as your injuries are yet to heal," Just as he was checking his surroundings, he heard a familiar majestic voice from the depths of the cave. ''Big brother,'' As soon as he heard the majestic voice, Geron hurriedly stood up and bowed in the direction from which the majestic voice hade from. At the same time, he said, "Thank you for saving me from those three spirit beast kings, big brother. Also, about your guardians¡­." "I already said don''t bother about it. I know what they were nning to take over my ce after I die. However, those foolish guardians of mine were not patient enough and wanted to please that first spirit beast king under me," Just as the majestic voice came to an end, an almost dried up humanoid tree came from the depths of the cave. ''What?'' When he saw the appearance of the king of the inner section of the crushed wilderness, Geron was shocked as he hurriedly asked, "What happened to you, big brother?" Thest time he had seen him was a couple of years back and at that time, his head was covered with branches full of green leaves and the diameter of his trunk was around one meter. However, currently, it was one-third of the original diameter and moreover, the branches on his head seemed like they could be broken with little to no effort at all. "Sigh" Hearing the question from Geron, the humanoid tree heaved a long sigh before saying, "It is time...I have lived long enough that it is finally time for me to die." There was a sad look on his trunk as he came forward and as soon as he came near to Geron, two majestic chairs formed by the dried up vines in the old cave. "Sit" The humanoid tree sat in a majestic chair and pointed his left branch at the other majestic chair and asked Geron to sit. "How is it possible?" Geron didn''t have time to sit as he waspletely shocked by the humanoid tree''s words. "I will say but before that, you should sit," The King of the cursed wilderness asked Geron to sit once again and this time, Geron sat on the chair without saying anything. "You know which race I belong to right?" After Geron sat on the chair, the humanoid tree started with a question. "Yes," Geron nodded his head as he said, "Primeval Ent." "Right! We, Primeval Ents are not powerful spirit beasts, to begin with. Just like you, how you mutated from the forest fairy butterfly, we, primeval ents are mutated from the trees that were first grown in this cursed wilderness," The humanoid tree started recalling his life and said to Geron, "Unlike other spirit beasts, we grow powerful with time without doing anything. However, it''s been more than a million years since I gained enlightenment that every spirit beast will die and even I have a time where I will die." "I informed my friends and family about it; however, no one believed me and replied me that their race is an immortal race who will live forever," "I tried in many ways but what I got was an exile of 10000 years from my home," "During those 10000 years, I started moving to various ces and had fought with many other primeval race beings and continued to increase by strength." "By the time, I returned back to my race, everyone in my race became just like the current me," By the time he came to this point, the voice no longer sounded majestic; instead, the tone had a mncholy to it. "At the point of time, they didn''t even have a shred of cultivation and within the next 2-3 years everyone died except for me. From that day onwards, I started spending most of my time in cultivating, observing nature and gained my current strength; however, it''s been so long that I am unable to break through to the next realm," Finally, the primeval ent stopped his exnation. After hearing about the past life of the king of the inner section, Geron thought, ''No wonder, big brother became the king of the inner section.'' "Big brother, do you know why I came here to meet you in the first ce?" Nevertheless, soon, he came out of his thoughts and asked the humanoid tree. "Do you want any cultivation resources?" The humanoid tree squinted his eyes as he replied to Geron with a question. In primeval ent''s view, Geron was simr to him, who worked very hard and without any bloodline, he was able to be the strongest one and gained territory. So, he had a good impressionpared to the spirit beast kings under him who gained their strength because of their inborn strength, skill and bloodline. "It was one of the reason but it wasn''t the main reason," Geron nodded his head but at the same time shook his head. "Then?" The humanoid tree curiously asked wondering Geron''s reason for visiting him despite the fact, there were many dangers for him. "Because of this," With a proud look on his face, Geron took out the advanced essence pill from his space ring. ''Huh?'' Th..this'' Even though the pill was very far away from the humanoid tree, his senses were very strong and he could feel all the dried up branches on his head were shaking non-stop as though they were eager. "I hope, I will be helpful to you, big brother," Geron extended his hands and a dried up wooden branch extended towards him and took the pill. "Take this ring and in it, there was many cultivation resources that could even help you along with your daughter and younger generation spirit beasts," As soon as he took the pill, Skaros tossed a space ring at him that made Geron excited. Chapter 690: Level 3 Heaven and Earth Refining Technique

Chapter 690: Level 3 Heaven and Earth Refining Technique

Skaros, the primeval ent didn''t even bother to ask the name of the pill and where Geron got this pill. Moreover, he didn''t have the slightest idea about the benefits of the pill; however, he was sure about one thing and it was the pill would help him in extending his life. As for the cultivation resources he gave to Geron was valuable but they didn''t have any effect on him because of the continuous usage of those resources. Soo, he didn''t think much before giving a space ring full of cultivation resources to Geron. "Big brother, this pill is called ''Advanced essence pill''. It can heal any near-death spirit beast and at the same time, it would help the spirit beast to awaken something from their ancestral memories," Even though Skaros didn''t ask about the pill, Geron wanted to let him know the true value of the pill. "Really?" Skaros'' dried up branches on his head shook a little with his excitement as he looked at the green coloured pill and was very much eager to consume it. "Yes, big brother. I think you can even have a breakthrough to the king realm with the help of this pill," Geron nodded his head as he raised the expectations of the Primeval ent. "If it really happens, then I will teach that first spirit beast king under me a lesson," Primeval ent''s dried up branch clenched the end of its fingers before saying, "You might think, why can''t I do now but if I do it now, I have to use the energy and which will fasten by death. So, as soon as I get the extension in my life, I can teach him a lesson." "You are the king, big brother," Geron didn''t bother about the traitors because he was too excited that he had finally got the resources he needed. ''With these cultivation resources, both Keshe and Brave can cultivate to their original cultivations at an incredible speed,'' This was the only thought in his head while looking at the space ring in his hand. As for the spirit beast kings who wanted to kill him, he was confident that he would not act rashly as long as his big brother stays around. So, he was not worried much and stood up before saying, "I will go back to my territory brother." "Come back after a week or so to know whether I got seeded with the pill or not," Skaros didn''t stop Geron from leaving because he was also in a hurry to consume the pill before closing the entrance of his old cave. "Sure, big brother. I will definitelye back in a week," Geron nodded his head and turned back to leave; however, he stopped all of a sudden before saying, "Big brother, please open the entrance to the cave a little earlier because shouting like how I did earlier is kind of embarrassing." Earlier, if not for his skill, he would have died in the hands of the three guardians. So, he asked Skaros to open the entrance of the cave somewhat soon when he came the next time. "Haha...I was in a deep sleep. So, it took me a while to hear from you. Don''t worry, next time youe, just ce this leaf on the entrance and it will open," While saying that, Skaros sent a dried-up branch; however, there was a single leaf on it which Geron plucked and carefully stored in his space ring. Next, he directly left the cave without wasting any more time in the old face. ''Let''s see, how beneficial it will be for me to consume this pill,'' After Geron left the old cave, Skaros closed the entrance to the cave and tossed the pill into his mouth. ...¡­ Inside the guest room in the mercenary guild, ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness ispletely filled. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 11000/ 11000 units of the essence of nature. Ajax woke up from his cultivation with the two system notifications in his head. Actually, he only needed 4000 units of the essence of nature. Moreover, he used the spirit stones to increase the essence of nature along with his level 2 main cultivation technique, the Heaven and Earth refining technique. ''Phew...finally, I can upgrade my main cultivation technique to level 3,'' Ajax was waiting for this moment for some time now. He upgraded his main cultivation technique when he just started his cultivation. At that time, he didn''t understand many things; however, currently, he had sufficient knowledge and knew how valuable it was to have a high-level main-cultivation technique. ''System, upgrade my main cultivation technique,'' Soon, he asked the system to increase the level of his main cultivation technique. ''Ding, Upgrading the Heaven and Earth refining technique from level 2 to level 3 requires 9999 units of essence of nature. ''Ding, Do you still want to upgrade it? As soon as he asked the system to upgrade it, as usual, it showed him the price of the upgrade and asked him once more. ''Yes,'' Even though it was a high amount of essence of nature, Ajax felt it was worth it as long as his absorbing speed of the essence of nature from the surroundings was increased. ''Moreover, I will be having special training in the secret realms and many cultivation resources will be given to me. So, I can go all out and upgrade my other cultivation techniques,'' After agreeing to the system, he thought to use his level 3 heaven and earth refining technique to fill his spirit consciousness and upgrade his other cultivation techniques. ''Ding, 9999 units of the essence of nature are deducted from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Remaining units:- 1001 ''Aargh'' Soon, two system notifications rang in his head along with the sudden pain in his head. It didn''tst for much longer before Ajax adjusted to it. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading his main cultivation technique to level 3. Just as he got used to the pain from upgrading the main cultivation technique, another system notification appeared in front of him that made him heave a sigh of relief. He took a deep breath and?calmed his mind from other thoughts before saying, "It''s time to check the effects of level 3 heaven and earth refining technique." With that thought in his mind, Ajax closed his eyes and started circting the level 3 heaven and earth refining technique. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, the impure essence of nature from around 100 meters directly rushed into his body; however, because of the cultivation technique, the impure essence of nature was turned into the pure essence of nature. ''Holy heavens'' Ajax was unable to concentrate on circting his cultivation technique because he was shocked by the effects of the level 3 heaven and earth refining technique. ''I think, now, I can fill my spirit consciousness within less than 6 hours using the spirit stones,'' Ajax was very excited as he directly took out hundreds of spirit stones and started using his newly upgraded main cultivation technique to increase his essence of nature. ''I will upgrade the other cultivation techniques too then,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he continued to increase his spirit consciousness. Chapter 691: Level 3 Mysterious Spirit Cultivation Technique

Chapter 691: Level 3 Mysterious Spirit Cultivation Technique

After upgrading the Heaven and Earth refining technique to level 3, the speed at which the absorption of the essence of nature into his spirit consciousness increased by a huge margin. With the help of the spirit stones, it was able to fill his entire spirit consciousness within less than 4 hours. ''Currently, I can absorb around 3000 units of the essence of nature in an hour and took me a little more than three hours,'' Because, in his spirit consciousness, there were already 1001 units of the essence of nature. So, it took him a little more than three hours. "I wonder, how much it will cost to upgrade it from level 3 to level 4," After seeing the effects of the level 3 main cultivation technique, Ajax got a little curious about the level 4 main cultivation technique. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 49999 units of the essence of nature. Before he could open the cultivation technique and check the required units of the essence of nature to upgrade to level 4, the system sent a notification regarding it. ''What the hell? Is it for real?'' Looking at the system notification in front of him, Ajax''s eyes were about to fall out of the eye sockets with shock. ''So, you really don''t want me to upgrade it,'' For Ajax, paying 49999 units of the essence of nature was not a problem for upgrading a level 3 main cultivation because he knew the effects would surely be heaven defining. However, the problem is the system only epts one-time payment. For that, he needs to have 50000 units of spirit consciousness capacity. Currently, he only had 11000 units of spirit consciousness capacity and till he broke through to the general realm, he could not have any normal increment from minor realm breakthroughs. Also, he already knew that having 20000 units of spirit consciousness capacity for a level 1 elite general realm cultivator was already a very good thing. So, Ajax felt it was almost impossible for him to upgrade it unless he reached the major realms after the King realm. ''Sigh...let it be. I will not waste any more? time thinking about it,'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax felt it was just a waste of time to think about the level 4 main cultivation technique. ''I will upgrade my other cultivation techniques now,'' Without wasting any more time, he decided to upgrade his other cultivation techniques. Other than Heaven and Earth refining technique, he had other two cultivation techniques. They are mysterious spirit cultivation techniques and cloud steps. Both of these techniques are currently at level 2 and required the same units of the essence of nature to upgrade to level 3. "I will go for the mysterious spirit cultivation technique," He didn''t think much before choosing to upgrade his mysterious spirit cultivation technique. Compared to the ''Cloud steps'', he felt upgrading the ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' was the best option for him. ''I wonder, what will be the effects after upgrading it,'' Ajax thought in his head about the effects of the technique. Its current effects were increasing the spirit consciousness capacity by a special number in a day. However, since he could not get any increment from the breakthroughs or cultivation techniques, there was no increment in his spirit consciousness capacity. ''System, upgrade my mysterious spirit cultivation technique,'' Ajax gave the order to the system and agreed to the deductible amount of the essence of nature. ''Ding, 10000 units of the essence of nature are deducted. ''Ding, Remaining units:- 1000. As soon as two system notifications rang in his head, he felt a sharp pain in his head and mysterious knowledge regarding the mysterious spirit cultivation technique appeared in his head. ''Ding, The mysterious spirit cultivation technique is upgraded to level 3. Please check the effects. Just like earlier, the pain didn''tst for much longer and soon he got the upgradation notification. ''Phew...I was expecting the pain which made me endure it without making any groans,'' Unlike earlier, he was ready for the pain and endured it without much difficulty. ''Anyway, it''s time to see the benefits after upgrading the technique,'' Ajax silently muttered in his head and soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Cultivation technique:- Mysterious spirit cultivation technique (Level 3). Effects:- 1) 1000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity increment every time the host breaks through a single minor realm irrespective of the capacity gained from the breakthrough. 2)? 5000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity increment every time the host breaks through a single major realm irrespective of the capacity gained from the breakthrough. Special effect:- 10 percent chance of gaining 10 percent of the spirit consciousness capacity of the enemy killed by the host. Next upgrade:- Need 50000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the technique to level 4. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to see the effects and what made him even more excited was the special effect of the technique. Even though the 10 percent chance seems low, Ajax was very much satisfied with it because as long as he killed enemies, he would definitely trigger that special effect of the technique. So, of course, he was satisfied with it. ''Moreover, since I am getting free 1000 units and 5000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity irrespective of the spirit consciousness'' capacity gained from the breakthroughs, it is good,'' After thinking about the special effect, he focused on the other two effects and overall, he felt he didn''t waste the 10000 units of the essence of nature for nothing. ''With this ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'', my spirit consciousness'' capacity will definitely reach 50000 units,'' Until now, he was sure that he could reach 50000 units of the spirit consciousness capacity; however, after seeing the effects of the ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'', he gained full confidence. ''As long as I start killing the assassins from the assassin sect, I can definitely increase my spirit consciousness'' capacity by a huge margin and at the same time, my revenge for the poor souls that were killed in the massacre at the Silver orphanage will bepleted,'' After knowing that his friends, he didn''t forget about taking revenge on the assassin sect. Even though he was only close with Damon, Jason and Hector, he felt sad for the other children who were killed in that massacre. ''Moreover, I have to find out the reason for that massacre and know why those poor children in the Silver Orphanage were killeded on that night,'' Ajax clenched his fists and thought, ''As long as I enter the general realm, I will take care of the assassin sect.'' His ns continued to change ording to his surroundings and with the help of the monster peach, he could directly elevate his strength to the elite general realm. So, all he was waiting for to reach the general realm. ''But the problem is I have to find a way to gain energy orbs that could increase my cultivation by four realms,'' Soon, Ajax thought of a problem that was hindering him to reach the general realm in the shortest time. ***** I was busy with some work. So, it made me release this chapterte. Hope you understand. Chapter 692: Mishap?

Chapter 692: Mishap?

Ajax only has the energy orbs that could elevate his cultivation to the level 7 elitemander realm; however, he still needed a few more energy orbs to enter the general realm. To get energy orbs, the system needs to generate ''A+'' danger rating missions. Moreover, he would be under special training for the next 10 days and I will be unable toplete them even if the system generated any new ''A'' rating mission. After that, I will be busy with the champions contest. ''Looks like I will need to wait for some time before taking revenge on the assassin sect,'' Ajax took a deep breath and concluded the issues regarding his cultivation and resumed back to his ns. ''Time to fill my spirit consciousness once again,'' Just like earlier, he once again continued to use the level 3 Heaven and earth refining technique to fill his spirit consciousness to upgrade hisst cultivation technique, Cloud steps. There was still a lot of time. So, Ajax didn''t bother resting; instead, he continued to increase his essence of nature. ... In the depths of the middle section of the cursed wilderness, "Phew...finally I am back to my territory," The forest fairy king flew back to his territory from the depth of the inner section at an incredible speed fearing that the other spirit beast kings might plot something against him. However, nothing happened as he feared and he came back to his territory without any mishaps. "Once Keshe and brave wakes up, I will give them these cultivation resources and within less than a year, they would gain their original cultivation," Geron didn''t waste any time as he directly walked towards where Keshe and Brave were re-cultivating under the protection of a barrier and Ceru. ''Boom'' Just as he was about to reach that ce, a huge explosion urred from the direction where Keshe and Brave were re-cultivating. ''Oh no,'' Geron became anxious when he heard the huge explosion from that direction and hurriedly rushed towards them. Soon, he reached the ce; however, it was entirely covered by smoke and his senses could not pass after a certain distance that made him even more anxious. Because if someone is undergoing a re-cultivation process, their surroundings should be peaceful and they should not be disturbed in any way. By chance, they were disturbed, they would die for sure or in the worst case, they might turn into a mindless cultivator. ''Damn it...I should have been guarding here instead of going to meet the King,'' Soon, Geron started ming himself and continued to search for his daughter inside the smoke. "Brother," Before he could see what was happening inside the smoke, he heard an anxious tone from beside and it belonged to Ceru. "What happened," Geron asked Ceru with a serious expression on his face. "I don''t know bother," Ceru revealed a worried look on his face as he exined, "Everything was going perfectly and all of a sudden, both Keshe and Brave were covered in green and ck coloured cocoons¡­." "Then what happened? Say properly," Geron was unable to calm down as he urged Ceru to properly exin him. "In the next second, both the cocoon sted and the entire area inside the barrier was filled with ck and green coloured smoke. This barrier is stopping us from going inside and also blocking our senses," Ceru exined everything that happened before Geroning here. "Damn it...isn''t that our barrier? Just removing the spirit stones supply," Geron was so angry because his daughter was inside the barrier and he still didn''t know whether she was alive or not. So, he shouted at Ceru. Every barrier works with the help of the essence of nature supplied to them. Be it the essence of nature from the spirit stones or from the spirit consciousness of the cultivator. As for Ceru, he knew why Geron was very angry. So, he didn''t mind Geron''s shouting and replied, "Actually, the barrier has a supply of the essence of nature that is sufficient for it tost for another seven days." Ceru replied in an apologetic tone because yesterday itself he had an additional supply of the spirit stones to the barrier. "Sigh" Geron sighed after hearing Geron''s word and copsed onto the ground as he looked at the barrier with a worried look on his face. "Brother," Ceru hurriedly went to support Geron; however, before he could help, Geron was already on the ground. "I should have used the re-cultivation technique instead of giving it to her first," Geron continued to look into the barrier filled with the dual coloured smoke as he started ming himself. Since both Geron and her daughter were from the same ''Forest fairy race'', they could use the same re-cultivation technique; however, his son, Keshe''s big brother asked him to let Keshe use that cultivation technique andter she would teach him that re-cultivation technique. The re-cultivation process is not 100 percent safe. Gaining poweres with a risk. ''Is there any way, we can destroy the barrier?'' After staying silent for a while, Geron finally asked Ceru about destroying the barrier. "This is the most powerful barrier we have in our territory. Moreover, it is designed after your skill that could reflect all attacks. So, it is almost impossible to destroy it unless someone can destroy it in one shot," Ceru bitterly shook his head as he exined about the barrier. In the past, they used to proudly say about the barrier; however, at the moment, there was no proud look while exining about it. "So be it. I will use destroy it," Geron''s earlier worried look was reced with a serious look that made Ceru anxious. "Brother" Ceru hurriedly stopped Geron from attacking the barrier. "Ceru, please move aside. I don''t want to attack you," Geron asked Ceru in a low yet deep voice that made Ceru shiver; however, he didn''t move and stood in front of Geron blocking him from attacking the barrier. "What is it, Ceru. Do you want me to stay here until the barrier is destroyed? Stay like this in a dilemma whether my daughter is alive or not?" "Okay. Leave everything and say it about yourself. If your daughter was inside the barrier, you would have waited here for the next 7 days?" Geron continued to say one thing after another and Ceru was unable to reply to him because he would do the same if his daughter was inside the barrier. "So, please move aside and let me save my daughter," Geron knew full well of Ceru as they were known from the initial stages of their cultivation and went through thick and through. "Still I will not move aside. You are the king of this middle section of the cursed wilderness and if something happens to you, everyone would be ves to the spirit beast kings from the inner section," Ceru maintained a serious look on his face as he didn''t move from his ce. "You..." Geron became so angry when he heard those words and he didn''t know what to do. "If that is the case, then I have to use force to move you aside," Geron released his cultivation pressure as he replied in an angry tone. ¡­.. Chapter 693: Crimson Wolf

Chapter 693: Crimson Wolf

In this world, his children are everything and now one of them is inside the barrier and he still didn''t have a clue whether his daughter is alive or not. So, he wanted to break the barrier as soon as possible and as long as she is alive, he had his ways to save her. Also, even if he died in the process of breaking the barrier, he thought Ceru would take care of his daughter. ''I will immobilise him for sometime before breaking the barrier,'' Geron silent thought in his head as he rushed at Ceru to forcefully move him aside. "Geron, you don''t need to break the barrier; instead of you, I will break it," Just when Geron''s attack was about tond, Ceru said in a calm tone that made Geron freeze in movements. ''What?'' Geron was shocked at Ceru''s word as his serious expression disappeared from his face. "I always see Keshe as my own daughter. So, I will get her out of the barrier," Ceru didn''t wait for Geron to give a reply before he attacked the barrier behind him with full force. ''Boom'' ''Aargh'' The powerful punch reflected back at him and made a small explosion. "Stop attacking the barrier. I will destroy it myself," Even though Geron valued Keshe more than Ceru, he didn''t want Ceru to die while doing it. So, he asked him to stop. "Even if I die in the process, nothing will affect the territory; however, it is not the case if you die," Ceru exined his reasons and continued to break the barrier and with each attack, the injuries inflicted on him continued to increase. "Damn it...stop doing it," Geron angrily shouted at Ceru and hurriedly went to stop Ceru from attacking the barrier any longer. "Geron, didn''t you ask what I want in the past?" Ceru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he asked Geron; however, he didn''t wait for Geron''s reply as he continued, "I said I will use it in the future and finally the time hase. And, it is I want you to not stop me while breaking the barrier." "What? You will die if you continue to do it," Geron angrily shouted at Ceru; however, he didn''t stop Ceru anymore as he knew about Ceru that he would not change his mind once he was fixed on something. ''Swoosh'' Seeing that Geron stop saying anything, Ceru revealed a slight smile on his face and transformed into his true spirit beast form. A 5 meters high wolf with shining red-colour fur appeared in the ce of Ceru. It looked very strong and its fangs were protruding out of its mouth looking very fierce. Ceru''s original form was ''Crimson wolf'', a verymon spirit beast in the cursed wilderness. When he was still a rank 2 spirit beast, the crimson wolf was on a dying breath, Geron saved his life and from that moment onwards both of them, Ceru started following Geron and fought towards for many years going through thick and thin. Ceru still feels that his life is owed to Geron; however, Geron always saw Ceru as his brother. ''Sigh'' Looking at Ceru''s spirit beast form, Geron sighed as he hoped, nothing should happen to Ceru. ''Crimson fire'' Without wasting any time, Ceru continued to attack the barrier using his full powers. "Your Majesty," All of a sudden, Geron heard a familiar sound from the sky and soon 10 figuresnded on the ground. As soon as theynded on the ground, they bowed in front of Geron. "Generals?" Geron was excited when he saw them and thought of a n. That''s right! They were the 10 fairy generals under Geron. ''Guardians?'' Also, soon another four figuresnded from the sky and bowed to him. They were none other than the four fairy guardians of Geron''s territory. "Everyone, are you willing to help us break the barrier?" After seeing 4 fairy guardians and 10 fairy generals, Geron thought of an idea and asked them. "Yes, your majesty," Everyone nodded their heads and even Ceru also stopped attacking the barrier as he knew what Geron was nning. Till now Geron was so depressed that except for breaking the barrier with his own hands, he didn''t think about anything; however, after seeing the fairy generals and fairy guardians, he decided to use everyone''s attacks to break the barrier. "Your own attacks would be reflected back at us when you attack them. So, please endure it and help me break the barrier," Geron asked them as he continued, "As long as you help me break the barrier, everyone will be heavily rewarded." Thest thing he worried about right now was the cultivation resources because he had a space ring full of cultivation resources. Also, be it cultivators or spirit beasts, they would work wholeheartedly when there were good rewards. "We will try our best, your majesty," They were loyal to Geron and even if he sent them to their deaths they would follow his decision without saying anything. Moreover, with additional rewards, they were even more excited as they waited for Geron to say his n to break the barrier. "There is no n. We have to use our full forced attacks on the barrier from all sides. As I said earlier, keep in your mind that your own attack would be reflected," Soon, Geron asked them to spread around the barrier and gave them the order to attack. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' Soon, all the spirit beasts under Geron started using their powerful attacks on the barrier and receiving the reflected attack from the barrier. ''Wooo'' As for Ceru, he released a wolf-howl before attacking the barrier along with others. Compared to other Ceru''s attacks were much more powerful and at the same time, the reflected attacks were also powerful that made his entire body covered in injuries. ''Sigh...looks like I was too agitated earlier and didn''t notice my own spirit consciousness,'' As for Geron, he sighed and revealed a bitter look on his face when he saw that his spirit consciousness was empty and his internal injuries from earlier opened up making him cough blood without a single attack on the barrier. ''I need to reward them heavily after today,'' Geron looked at the fairy generals and fairymanders as silently thought in his head. "Ceru, it''s enough. Your injuries are bing worse," After seeing that everything was going perfectly alright and the barrier started shaking after continuously taking the attacks from Ceru and others. However, Ceru was the one who contributed a lot and the injuries on his face were also very great. So, Geron asked him to stop because he felt the barrier would be destroyed by his fairy generals and guardians within a couple of hours. "One final attack," However, Ceru didn''t stop as he looked at Geron and said he would use one final attack. "Overpowered sun cannon," Ceru opened his wolf mouth and released a huge orange coloured fireball and it was shot at the barrier at an incredible speed. ''Boom'' As soon as that fireball touched the barrier, the barrier shook for a while before releasing a simr type of attack towards Ceru. ''Oh no,'' Geron was shocked by the scene and hurriedly towards Ceru. Chapter 694: Level 3 Cloud Steps

Chapter 694: Level 3 Cloud Steps

While Geron was rushing towards Ceru to help him block the attack, Ajax had just opened his eyes after receiving a system notification. ''Ding, The spirit consciousness ispletely filled. Please stop filling it. "Phew...finally filled the spiritual consciousness in four hours," As soon as he received the system, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he could now upgrade thest cultivation technique that helps him in movement speed. "System, upgrade the cloud steps to level 3," Without wasting any time, he directly ordered the system to upgrade his level 2 cloud steps. ''Ding, Consumed 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, ''Cloud steps'' is upgraded to level 3. There was a slight pain in his head for a moment; however, it disappeared soon enough and at the same time, he received the confirmation notification from the system. ''Looks like I am used to different types of pains, I didn''t feel much pain earlier except for a slight ticklish feeling in my head,'' Ajax joked regarding the pain and checked the newly upgraded ''Cloud steps'' ''Ding, Cultivation technique:- Cloud steps (level 3) Effect:- 1) Increases the movement speed by 3 times the original speed. 2) Can fly in the air for 10 kilometers in a day. "What?" Ajax was shocked by the new effect of the cloud steps because he could finally fly now. Generally, when a cultivator reaches the general realm, their speed was very fast and for an onlooker, it would appear like he was flying; however, it was not true. A cultivator needs to be in an elite general cultivator and he or she needs to practice flying by forming wings with their essence of nature; however, Ajax was able to fly before he could even reach the general realm. So, of course, he would be shocked and happy at the same time. ''Even though it is only 10 kilometers, it would be very helpful when I fight against the flying spirit beasts or other beings,'' Ajax was pretty much satisfied with the limitations of the second effect as he thought inside his head about it. ''Now, it''s time to increase my strength,'' Since the energy orbs would not be very useful when he was in the general realm, he wanted to use them now and without wasting any time, he directly thought about it. As soon as he thought about those energy orbs, one after another energy orb started bursting out while releasing the pure essence of nature into his spirit consciousness. ''Aargh'' Along with that, the usual pain emerged from his spirit consciousness which made him groan despite the face he was already ready for it. ''Ding, Level 3 elitemander realm reached. ''Ding, Level 4 elitemander realm reached. . . .''Ding, Level 7 elitemander realm reached. The pain in his spirit consciousness increased with each passing second; however, with each system notification, Ajax felt excited and it helped him endure the pain. ''Phew'' Nevertheless, the pain disappeared without a trace from his spirit consciousness that made him heave a sigh of relief. ''Huh? Is that all? No more system notifications?'' Soon, Ajax felt something was not right because the system notifications he was expecting were nowhere to be seen. ''System, why there is no increment in my spirit consciousness'' capacity,'' Since the system was nonchnt and acted like it didn''t know anything, he directly asked the system. Even though he already knew that he would not receive any increment in his spirit consciousness'' capacity for breaking through minor realms till he reached the general realm, he was sure that he could receive the increment from the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique. ''Ding, The host will not get any increment in his spirit consciousness'' capacity even with the mysterious spirit cultivation technique until he reaches the general realm. Soon, the system gave a clear notification that made Ajax bitterly shake his head. ''Guess, I will wait until general realm,'' Nevertheless, Ajax stopped worrying about it because he knew he had almost double the spirit consciousness capacitypared to his cultivation and moreover as long as he entered the general realm, he could increase his spirit consciousness'' capacity at an incredible speed. "Now, I will take some rest before my special training starts from tomorrow morning," Ajax didn''t think much about anything because all the thinking would only make him either anxious or curious. So, putting away all things, he directly entered into a deep sleep. Since he was greatly exhausted because of the pains from upgrading the cultivation techniques and breaking the energy orbs, he entered into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes. ''This brat is not bad,'' As soon as Ajax fell asleep, in the depths of his spirit consciousness a small light dot thought in a deep voice. ''He was able to learn the mysteries of my own cultivation technique by 5 percent within only a few months. Looks like, I still have hope,'' After thinking for a moment, that ck dot disappeared; however, when someone looks at it very carefully, they would find that light. Nevertheless, it looked like a small unit of the essence of nature. So, even if Ajax found out about that ck light, he would not bother about it. ... In the middle-section of the cursed wilderness, ''Boom'' The overpowered sun cannon that was reflected by the barrier hit Ceru and it sted him away. "Ceru" Geron was anxious as he hurriedly rushed towards him. By now, Ceru''s wolf body waspletely covered in injuries and almost 90 percent of it was burned from the sun cannon. "Have you gone insane?" In the beginning, it was Geron, who was crazy and didn''t think anything except for saving her daughter; however, now, Geron felt Ceru was even crazier than him. Because, as long as fairy guardians and fairy generals attacked the barrier, it would have broken within a couple of hours. Even though they would have suffered heavy injuries, there was very little chance that they would die. However, that was not the case for Ceru. His attacks are very powerful that could damage the barrier and himself. So, Geron asked him to stop attacking the barrier earlier. But Ceru didn''t listen to him for the first time since they met. "Haha...cough..haha," Hearing Geron''s words, Ceruughed and in between, he heavily coughed before splitting the blood. ''Kacha'' While he wasughing, there was a crisp sound and as soon as he heard, Ceru replied, "Finally, it''s broken. Go and save Keshe and Brave," Ceru asked Geron to leave and check on the two young spirit beasts. "Please don''t die on me. Just hold on a minute. I will check on them ande back as soon as possible," Geron had already thought about something; however, before that, he had to check something. So, he asked Ceru to stay alive until he came back. "Until then, take these high-level healing pills," "Someonee here and look after him," Soon, he put many high-level healing pills into the crimson wolf''s mouth and asked others to take care of Ceru before rushing towards his daughter. ''Keshe'' ''Brave'' As soon as he rushed towards the young spirit beasts, Geron saw both of them were unconsciously lying on the ground which made him very anxious. Chapter 695: Livid Griffin

Chapter 695: Livid Griffin

''Phew...she is safe,'' Geron checked Keshe''s health condition and heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed she was just unconscious and nothing serious. ''He is also safe,'' He didn''t leave the dark lion king without checking his health and after finding out he was also unconscious just like Keshe. ''Looks like the re-cultivation process is sessful for both of them,'' Only after finding out they were not injured, Geron thought about the re-cultivation process. For him,pared to her daughter''s life now was more important. ''From now on she doesn''t need to use the human form to look like a human but now she looks like a human without using her human form,'' For Geron, it was very easy to discern whether a spirit beast was using a human form. However, when he looked at Keshe, he was not able to find anything. So, he was very sure that both Keshe and Brave''s re-cultivation process was sessful. Coming to the appearances of Keshe and Brave, Keshe has a beautiful face and her entire body was covered in green armour from top to bottom with golden extensions attacked the armour making her looking a warrior. As for Brave, he became a young man of around 20-21 years old and his body was covered in ck robes. There was a little evil look on his face despite the fact he was still unconscious. "You two, take them into my tree abode," Nevertheless, he was not in the mood to be happy as his friend was fighting death. So, he ordered two fairy generals to take Keshe and Brave into his abode. And as for him, he rushed towards Ceru, who was surrounded by a group of fairy guardians and fairy generals. "Everyone, you can leave now. I will take care of Ceru from now on," As soon as he reached Ceru, he asked all his subordinates to leave that ce. "Yes, your majesty," They didn''t ask for the cultivation resources for breaking the barrier and quietly left the ce as they knew that their king would never go back on his words. As soon as they left, Geron took out a green coloured pill from his space ring and put that into Ceru''s mouth. ''I hope the effects of the advanced essence pill are true that it could heal every injury and even save any spirit beast nearing its death,'' At the moment, Geron could not do anything except wait to see whether the advanced essence pill would help Ceru or not. ''Excellent'' It didn''t take much time for Geron to notice the changes in the Crimson wolf. All the injuries started healing at an incredible speed and within no time there was not even a single scar left on the crimson wolf''s body. ''Phew...these pill is truly miraculous,'' Although Geron already had high regards for the pill, it increased even more after seeing how powerful its effects were. ''Looks like it would definitely heal Big brother''s injuries for sure,'' Geron thought back to Skaros, whose life came to an end and thought the pill would help him. As long as Skaros is alive, no one would dare to attack Geron or his spirit beasts. Soon, Geron carried Ceru into his tree abode and ced him beside Keshe and Brave who were still unconscious. ''I wonder, what happened inside the barrier that made both of them unconscious,'' After all things settled down, Geron was finally able to think normally and looking at his daughter and Brave, he thought about the incident of the huge st inside the barrier. ''Looks like I will find it only after they wake up,'' Geron shook his head and decided to ask them after they woke up. For him, as long as they were fine, he won''t bother much about the reason. ''I will go and reward them for their hard work,'' With that thought in his mind, Geron came out of his tree abode and summoned the fairy generals and fairy guardians. Earlier, every one of them worked very hard and even received severe injuries. So, he decided to keep his word and gave more cultivation resources than he said. "Thank you, your majesty," All fairy generals and fairy guardians thanked Geron and left their tree abodes to use those cultivation resources. ''I am really lucky to have such sub-ordinates,'' Looking at the disappeared silhouettes of his subordinates, Geron felt lucky because no matter how powerful Skaros was, someone under him was trying to take over the territory instead of worrying about the death of his king. Soon, Geron went back into his tree abode and looked after Keshe and others. ..... Next day, "Ajax, wake up," Early in the morning, Ajax opened his eyes from the deep sleep with Rulf''s voice from the outside. "Coming," Even though he was in a deep sleep, Ajax''s instincts were sharp. Without wasting any time, he went and opened his door. "Get ready in 10 minutes and meet us in the main hall," After finishing his words, Rulf directly left without waiting for any reply. ''It must be regarding special training,'' Ajax could guess the reason and hurriedly showered and went to meet others in the main hall. By the time he reached there, everyone was present which made him embarrassed a littlete foringst. He was already getting benefited because of his ''Dream'' master and now he camest. "Everyone, let''s go," As soon as Ajax entered the main hall, the guild master asked everyone to follow him. ''If guild master is training us, I wonder who will manage the guild,'' Ajax looked at the Rulf, who was also walking along with him making Ajax a little puzzled. General, it was Rulf who managed the mercenary guild and now, both the guild master and Rulf were leaving the guild. So, he was wondering who was in charge of the guild. "Rulf, I think if others notice that we are not there in the guild, they might give some trouble to Sarah. So, why don''t you stay back and look after the guild," Just as Ajax was wondering about the in charge of the guild, the guild master asked Rulf to stay back. "Sure, guild master," Rulf nodded his head and stopped walking along with him. "Time to fly," Aftering out of the mercenary guild, the guild master revealed a slight smile as he summoned a rank 6 spirit beast. It was a huge Livid griffin. It has the body, tail and back legs of a lion along with the head and wings of an eagle with front legs as eagle''s talons. It was a very rare type of spirit beast in Zrochester province and even if someone found it, it is impossible to form a contract with it because as its name suggests it is always angry and furious. Another thing about the livid griffin. It is very picky with the cultivation resources. So, it was very hard for a normal cultivator to increase its cultivation to rank 6. "No need to fear and just climb and sit on its back," Mustering their courage, all the young cultivators sat and after them, the vagrant cultivators also mounted on its back. Finally, the six vagrant cultivators along with their fifteen personal disciples and Ajax started flying and as for where they were going no one knew. Chapter 696: Astral Heart

Chapter 696: Astral Heart

''Swoosh'' ''This is the first time I am flying this faster in the sky,'' Ajax was enjoying while flying behind the livid griffin and it was his first time to fly this faster because the speed was iparable to twilight or Snow''s spirit beast form before she re-cultivated into a human girl. Not only him but all young cultivators also enjoyed the journey; however, there needed some time to enjoy the journey before they only flew a couple of times in their whole life till now. "Your training starts from Elek''s secret realm," While the livid griffin was flying towards a specific direction, the guild master said to the young cultivators sitting behind him and continued saying, "First of all, your cultivation realms are low. So, we need to focus on it." Except for Levi and Paulin who were having the cultivation realms of level 2 elite general realm and level 2 general realm, others were still in the elitemander realm. Even Edmond''s adopted children were having the same cultivation level of level 10 elitemander realm because of the ''Nine men awakening'' which was a little better than Ajax, Lewis and Jeff, who were having only the cultivation realms of level 5,6 and 7 elitemander realms. All the young cultivators nodded their heads except for Levi because he thought if he nodded his head, it would make others ufortable or embarrassed. "Every participant in the champions contest would have a minimum strength of level 1 general realm; however it is not enough to even enter the top 50 of the contest," The guild master continued to lecture the young cultivators about the contest. "Mainly you four," He pointed at Ajax, Neil, Lewis and Jeff becausepared to others, they were the weakest. Ajax and others just shook their heads with bitter smile on their faces without saying anything. "So, Elder Elek''s secret realm, ''Astral heart'' will help you increase your cultivation as long as you endure the pain. All you have to do is to rotate your main cultivation techniques that were given by your masters," These lines were said to everyone because all the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators got high-level heaven-grade main cultivation techniques that were suitable for them. However, Ajax was not given any cultivation technique because they already guessed that Ajax must have a high-level heaven grade cultivation technique; otherwise, his cultivation would not be that fast. Even though Ajax''s cultivation was not very highpared to Edmond''s children, they also know that Ajax only started cultivating a couple of months ago and he already caught up to others. So, they guessed he didn''t need any cultivation technique. "It will take around 30 minutes before we reach the portal to the secret realm. So, until then, everyone get used to that main cultivation technique," Soon, the guild master finished his words and sat in his position. "Yes, master," "Yes, guild master," Justice, Paulin and Heavenly raven called the guild master as Master and as for others they continued to call him as ''Guild master''. After nodding their heads, they started circting their new main cultivation techniques and all of a sudden the surrounding essence of nature rushed towards them and entered into their bodies at an incredible speed. ''Holy heavens'' All the young cultivators were shocked at the speed at which they were now capable of absorbing the essence of nature into their spirit consciousness. Soon, that shock turned into excitement and without wasting any time, they continued to circte the cultivation technique. ''I will just enjoy the view,'' Unlike others, Ajax was unable to have breakthroughs just by absorbing the essence of nature into their spirit consciousness. So, he shook his head and continued to enjoy the journey. ''That''s right!'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered something that made him stop enjoying the journey and he searched for Elder Ramon. ''There he is,'' Livid Griffin was much bigger than his twilight destructive dragon. So, everyone was able to sit on its back without any difficulty. After searching for a couple of seconds, he found Elder Ramon and slowly walked towards him. "Elder Ramon, I have something to ask you," He said beside Elder Ramon and respectfully asked him. "Sure. Go ahead and ask," Elder Ramon looked at other vagrant cultivators with a proud look before replying to Ajax. "Thanks, elder," Ajax thanked him before taking out the mysterious seed from his inner world and gave it to Elder Ramon before asking him, "I found this seed in the summoner king''s inheritance ground; however, no one has a single clue about it. Do you know anything about it, Elder Ramon?" Ajax maintained the respectful look on his face for the whole time that made Elder Ramon and other vagrant cultivators nod their heads at him. ''No wonder, some powerful cultivator took him as his personal disciple,'' Seeing Ajax''s manners, they felt Ajax was worthy of being the personal disciple of that powerful cultivator. Whenever the cultivators were epted into the top sects and great families, they would be arrogant like they were superior to those who didn''t join the sects or great families. However, Ajax didn''t act like he was superior just because he was the disciple of a powerful cultivator and remained respectful to them. "Let me see it," Taking the seed into his hands, Elder Ramon observed it closely for a moment before raising his brows. ''Huh? What is this seed? Why am I unable to recognize it?'' Elder Ramon frowned when he was unable to recognize the seed at a nce because he knew about each and every nt that was avable in the Zrochester province. "Ajax, I need some time. I will conduct some tests and find out exactly what it is," Elder Ramon didn''t hesitate a second before asking Ajax for some time. "Okay, Elder Ramon," Since he was unable to use the seed or even the system was unable to recognize it, Ajax agreed to Elder Ramon''s request instantly without any fear that Elder Ramon might pocket that seed for himself. After spending some time with vagrant cultivators, Ajax understood that all of them were good people who were very rare in the powerful cultivators. After saying that, Ajax once again started enjoying his journey without bothering about anything because the special training would be starting soon. So, this journey will help him rx his mind. As for Elder Ramon, he started taking out one book after another book and searched for information about the mysterious seed in his hand. From time to time, he would keenly observe the seed and look into the books making other vagrant cultivators raise their brows. ''This is the first time, I am seeing Ramon be this serious about something,'' ''Yeah. Maybe that item is not from this province,'' ''He even has the records of many nts and spirit beasts from other provinces. So, I am thinking that it might be from another world,'' Vagrant cultivators discussed among themselves after seeing Elder Ramon searching for information about the seed. "Finally, we are here. Eleke here and open the entrance to your secret realm," All of a sudden, the guild master''s voice could be heard by everyone waking them up from their cultivations. Chapter 697: Astral Energy

Chapter 697: Astral Energy

''Huh? What is he talking about?'' Ajax hurriedly looked in front of him after hearing the guild master''s words; however, there was nothing in front of him that made Ajax puzzled. ''There is nothing in front of us. Did any of you see something?'' ''No. There is nothing in front of us, Not only Ajax, but each and every young cultivator were unable to see any portal or simr to it in front of them and shook their heads. "You don''t have to worry about it. Even I can''t see it," However, the guild master''s words made them a little relieved; however, when they carefully paid attention to his words they were surprised a little. Because they thought they were unable to see it because of their low-level cultivation but even the vagrant cultivators were unable to see the portal. "Unless Elek wants us to see, no one could see the entrance to his secret realm, Astral heart," While the young cultivators were pondering about the guild master''s earlier words, he once again continued saying a few more words. "Also, your cultivation progress is good," Finally, the guild master talked about their cultivations once again. During thest 30 minutes, they circted their main cultivation technique and since it was their first time using such a high-grade cultivation technique, the benefits were good. Among all, Neil, Lewis and Jeff benefited a lot because their cultivation was the lowest among all the personal disciples and reached level 6, level 7 and level 6 elitemanders respectively. Since Edmond''s adopted children were synchronized with one another their cultivation increased equally and increased to peak level 10 elitemander and only an inch away from entering the general realm. Paulin received minute benefits that were not worth mentioning and as for Levi, it''s better not to mention his name because he didn''t receive any benefit from the main cultivation yet because his cultivation was already very high. "Thank you, guild master," Neil and others whose cultivation increased hurriedly thanked the guild master for his praise. Soon, Elek went to the front and muttered a few words before saying, "Appear." As soon as he said that, a huge ck coloured portal appeared in the mid-air and swallowed the whole Livid griffin into it. ''Everyone hold tight,'' Just when they were about to be swallowed into the portal, the guild master urged everyone to be careful. ''Aarrgh'' Soon, all the young cultivators shouted after entering the portal because, unlike Elder Ramon''s secret realm, the entrance to this secret realm made their hearts worry for nothing. "Wee to my secret realm, Astral heart," Soon, they entered a vast ce that was devoid of trees or spirit beasts except for the innd. In that vast area, only a single huge mansion was situated. As for the sky, it was a starry sky with stars emitting purple light making the entire secret realm look like some purple realm. "Woah" "What a pure essence of nature," "If we cultivate here with our new cultivation techniques, it would greatly benefit us," Even though there were no trees or spirit beasts, all the young cultivators could feel the rich essence of nature in the secret realm andpared to Elder Ramon''s secret realm, this realm''s essence of nature is only a little bit less pure. "Haha" Hearing their words, Elek revealed a slight smile as he guided the livid griffin towards a purple coloured mountain that was situated in the opposite direction of the mansion. "The mountain in front of us is called Astral mountain. There is a small tunnel into the mountain that would lead you to a spacious area in the centre of the mountain. You will all enter there and circte your new cultivation techniques while enduring the pain during the process," While they were flying towards the purple-coloured mountain, Elek exined what they had to do after reaching Astral mountain. "So, you are noting into the mountain, master?" Lewis asked Elder Elek after hearing his words. "It is only beneficial for you. So, increase your cultivation as much as possible inside the mountain," Elder Elek shook his head as he asked the livid griffin to descend onto the ground. "Good luck. Remember, it is not some kind of trial. You have to do your best to utilize the resources we are spending on you," The guild master and other vagrant cultivators said a few more words to their personal disciples before leaving the huge mansion. "Let''s enter," One of the young cultivators was excited and shouted before entering the tunnel. Soon, everyone followed behind him into the tunnel at the base of the mountain. ''Even Elder Ramon said he wanted even more time to know about the seed. What is that thing actually?'' While walking into the purple mountain, Ajax silently thought in his head. Before Elder Ramon left, he said that he needed some time to conduct some experiments to know about the seed and Ajax agreed without any hesitation. However, Ajax really felt that this seed had irritated him too much. ''Huh? My soul...'' The moment Ajax entered the spacious area inside the mountain, Ajax felt like his soul was receiving some kind of energy that was making it stronger. ''Ding, Detected a new type of energy, Astral energy. ''Ding, Suggests the host to absorb as much as possible. As he was thinking about what type of energy could make his soul stronger, he received a couple of system notifications. After seeing those system notifications, Ajax got rity on what is making his soul stronger. ''System, can you exin to me about this Astral energy?'' Ajax looked at other young cultivators who were shocked as much as he was and asked the system about it. ''Ding, Astral energy is one of the rare energies that could help a cultivator to be stronger. The main use of this astral energy is to make the cultivator''s soul stronger. ''Ding, Soul strong means great resistance to soul type attacks and most importantly, it unlocked the potential of the spirit consciousness'' capacity. So, absorb as much astral energy as possible. The system seemed a little anxious when exining Astral energy because it didn''t ask for any essence of nature and just wanted Ajax to absorb as much Astral energy as possible. ''Looks like the astral energy is very important,'' Ajax thought inside his head after seeing the system''s speedy notifications. ''By the way, system. Is it better to mix the essence of nature and astral energy into my spirit consciousness?'' Currently, his spirit consciousness is filled with 50 percent of the essence of nature. And when two types of powerful energies are mixed, it could harm the cultivator. So, Ajax asked for the system''s suggestion. Instead of answering his question, the system sent a different notification. ''Ding, Unlocked a new system feature. Please check it. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked as he didn''t know what was happening and why the system was so generous today. The system was already answering his questions without taking any units of the essence of nature. What''s more, it even unlocked a new system feature for him. ''System show the full details,'' Without wasting any time, he directly opened his new system feature. ''Ding, Chapter 698: Astral Space

Chapter 698: Astral Space

''Ding, Feature name:- Astral space. Use:- It can store the astral energy in it. Capacity:- 0/ 100 units Description:- A feature that acts simr to the spirit consciousness inside the cultivator. Soon, the holographic screen appeared withplete information regarding the new system feature. ''Huh?'' However, Ajax raised his brows after reading it because he felt something was not right. ''System, isn''t that too low for a capacity?'' He felt it was very low before even his spirit consciousness was started with 1000 units by the time he started cultivating. Moreover, there was so much ''Astral energy'' around him that made him waste quite a lot of astral energy. ''Ding, Answering the host''s earlier question. A cultivator can store astral energy with the essence of nature. Even though it benefits a lot, having a separate storage unit for astral energy is even better. ''Ding, So, just fill the astral space with the astral energy andter fill your spirit consciousness. Just as he was wondering about the capacity of astral space, the system answered his earlier question that made him nod his head. ''If it is like that, is there any way I can increase the capacity of the astral space like my spirit consciousness?'' Since the system had said that the ''Astral space'' was simr to the ''Spirit consciousness'', Ajax thought of upgrading the astral space. So, he asked the system regarding it. ''Ding, It can be done; however, the host needs a cultivation technique simr to the mysterious spirit cultivation technique. ''Woah'' Ajax understood what he needed to do now and without asking any more questions, he found a ce and sat cross-legged before absorbing the astral energy into his body. To be more specific, into his new system feature, Astral space which was situated just below the heart. ''Level 3 Heaven and earth refining technique,'' As soon as he sat down, he started circting his main cultivation technique and all of a sudden, the astral energy around him rushed towards him at an incredible speed ''At this speed, I can easily fill my Astral space and spirit consciousness within only a couple of hours,'' Ajax revealed a satisfied smile on his face when he saw the speed at which the astral energy was entering his body. ''I wonder, what are the uses of this astral energy? I will ask after I fill my two storage units,'' Earlier, Ajax didn''t ask the system about theplete uses of astral energy. At the moment, he only knows that astral energy will help his souls. He was sure that there must be other uses; otherwise, the system would have not behaved anxiously. Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry to find out as he could find about it anytime. The most important thing to do now is to absorb as much astral energy as possible before the vagrant cultivatorse back. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he went into a frenzy as he continued to circte the technique and absorbed the astral energy. Not only him but all the young cultivators around him were doing the same as they absorbed the astral energy into their body making their souls stronger. However, at the same time, groans could be heard before they could finally start sensing pain while circting their cultivation techniques. Nevertheless, they didn''t stop circting because they had already received some suggestions from their masters and they also knew how important it was to endure the pain. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Except for Ajax, Levi and Paulin, everyone started glowing with purple coloured as they started breaking through in their cultivation realms. Edmond''s adopted children finally broke into the general realm that made them forget their pains. Among all the young cultivators, Lewis and Jeff were having the greatest benefits as they directly reached the general realm and caught up to Edmond''s adopted children. Because their main cultivation technique was the most suitable one for astral energy. So, of course, their cultivation speed was faster. Neil and others were progressing at their own speed which was rtively much better than their old speed. ''I think I have absorbed enough astral energy, right?'' After a couple of hours, Ajax felt something was not right because he still didn''t get any system notification informing him that the astral space was filled. So, he was unable to wait any longer and looked at the data on the astral space. ''Ding, Feature name:- Astral space. Capacity:- 12/ 100 units. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked at the halographic screen and he didn''t know what to say anymore. Till now, he felt like he had absorbed so much astral energy into his body and he was sure that it would have filled; however, only 12 perent of the astral space was filled making him utterly speechless. ''Ding, The astral energy in his realm is not pure. So, the system helped the host to refine it to an ideal level. Only after seeing the system''s next notification, Ajax was able to nod his head and continued to circte the main cultivation technique. .... Next day, "Elek, what do you think of the progress of our disciples?" The guild master asked Elek while flying towards the Astral mountain on the back of the livid griffin. "I thought it would take at least three days for the astral energy in the astral mountain to disappear; however, within a single day, it waspletely absorbed. So, I am guessing everyone must have good progress in their cultivation," Elek looked at the astral mountain which was not as shining as it was when they came yesterday. Every secret realm has its own unique environment. Even though all the secret realms start as barrennd, with a little hard work and resources, any cultivator would make that barren secret realm into a realm with rich energy. In Elek''s case, his secret realm had dried stars in the sky along with the barrennd. So, he thought of an idea and used many cultivation resources and drew the astral energy from the void to fall on the dried stars on the sky andter that emitted light from those stars that fell on the astral mountain. This mountain was modified in a way that it could store the astral energy inside it and the only essible ce was the center of the mountain. "Right! You said it would take at least three days but they depleted all the astral energy in less than 24 hours", The guild master nodded his head as he became a little excited after recalling Elek''s words from yesterday. "Fly a little faster," The guild master urged the livid griffin to fly faster as he wanted to see how much the young cultivators progressed within a single day. "By the way, Ramon. Did you find out about the seed given by Ajax?" At the same time, the guild master asked Ramon about the seed. "What do you think? Haha" With augh, Ramon revealed a proud look on his face. "What is it?" Everyone could say that Elder Ramon found out something about the seed. So, they asked curiously because it took Elder Ramon to find out about the seed. So, of course, they were curious about it. Chapter 699: Tree of blessing, Summoner world.

Chapter 699: Tree of blessing, Summoner world.

"Just wait until we go there. I will say what I know about the seed," Looking at the curious looks on the other vagrant cultivators'' faces, Elder Ramon revealed a satisfied look as he asked them to wait for a little longer. ''...'' The guild master and others were speechless at his words; however, no one asked about the seed anymore because they knew Elder Ramon could be quite narcissistic. Nevertheless, it didn''t take much time for them to reach the astral mountain. "Master," By the time they reached the astral mountain, all the young cultivators were waiting outside the mountain with excited smiles and called their masters when they saw theming. "Good...good" All six old cultivators except for Elek nodded their heads when they saw how much their disciples had progressed. "Well done, everyone," The guild master praised everyone because all their cultivation realms were increased a lot betterpared to what they had expected. ''Huh? Why did they one progress by this much?'' Unlike others, Elek was not satisfied with their cultivation. Even though their cultivation realms were increased more than what he had expected, judging from the amount of astral energy depleted from the astral mountain, the progress in their cultivation realms was less. ''Where did all the astral energy go if it was not absorbed by them?'' While thinking that, Elek''s gaze fell on Ajax, who didn''t have a single minor realm improvement in his cultivation. However, what made him raise his brows was he could sense the Ajax''s soul was much powerful. ''H...his soul¡­.looks as powerful as the peak general realm cultivator,'' Elek was shocked when he sensed Ajax''s soul as he looked at Ajax in a new light because he finally understood where all the astral energy had disappeared to. Moreover, he didn''t bother exining this to other vagrant cultivators. Actually, the thing is to make the soul stronger, one cultivator needs rare heaven and earth treasures or he had to be lucky and find a good soul type cultivation technique which was even rarer to find. So, even if the soul is stronger just by a single minor realmpared to their body cultivation or spirit cultivation, it was a very good thing. However, currently, Ajax''s soul is more than one major realm stronger than his cultivation. "Except for two, everyone had entered into the general realm and even entered the mid-general realm," As for the guild master, he didn''t know anything that was happening in Elek''s head as he evaluated one cultivator after another. Among all the young cultivators, Lewis and Jeff had reached level 5 general realm and Edmond''s adopted children had reached level 4 general realm. Levi''s cultivation increased to peak level 2 elite general and Paulin''s cultivation also reached the same level as Lewis and Jeff. While Justice just entered the general realm, not because of the astral energy; instead, it was some mysterious energy given to him by the system whenever he killed an evil cultivator or evil being. Only Neil and Ajax were still in the elitemander realm. Compared to Ajax, who didn''t have a single minor realm improvement in his cultivation, Neil''s cultivation was boosted by five minor realms and reached peak level 10 elitemander. He was just an inch away from entering the general realm. Neil was satisfied with his progress as he felt he could enter the general realm with just a little push. "Since you are cultivations are increased, it''s time to increase your battle prowess," The guild master didn''t bother about Ajax because he was least worried about him and said to the young cultivators. In the hands of vagrant cultivators, only Astral mountain was the single resource that could help the young cultivators'' cultivation in the shortest time possible and they don''t have anything simr to it. So, he directly processed to the next step which was the battle prowess. "However, before that, you need to rest for the next 6 hours. You will be travelling to the next secret realm," The guild master asked everyone to mount his livid griffin before flying back to the huge mansion. "Ajax, I found out something about the seed," While flying back to the huge mansion, Elder Ramon said to Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "Really?" Ajax was excited when he heard those words and hurriedly what it was. ''Huh?'' As for the other vagrant cultivators, their ears were perked up and focused on Elder Ramon''s words without turning their heads back to Elder Ramon. "At the start, I didn''t think much about it; however, when all my experiments were failed and there was no data on this particr seed in an of my books, I thought about the origin of the seed and then I found out something," Elder Ramon slowly continued to exin how he found out about the mysterious seed. "I am still not sure whether I am true or not but I am more 80 percent sure it is a seed of ''Tree of blessing''," Elder Ramon stopped here and looked at the vagrant cultivators'' face which waspletely filled with shock before shaking their heads feeling a little unconvinced to believe his words. "ording to myths, the ''Tree of blessing'' is from one of the greater worlds called Summoner world," Nevertheless, Elder Ramon didn''t bother theirck of faith in his words as he continued to exin the origins of the seed to Ajax. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked after hearing Elder Ramon''s word. Even though it was a little unconvincing for him to believe his words, Ajax could feel what Elder Ramon saying was the truth. Because even the system was unable to say about the origins. So, Ajax felt it must havee from a ce where the system was not almighty and powerful. There were many greater worlds and each one of them was very powerfulpared to the other. Among them, having a summoner world is not umon for Ajax who already has knowledge about the greater worlds. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for finding out the name and origins of the mysterious seed. ''Ding, The system sent a special energy orb to his spirit consciousness as a reward. ''What?'' While Ajax was digesting the information from Elder Ramon, all of a sudden, he received two system notifications, in which one of them had a reward that made him surprised. ''System, do you already know about that mysterious seed?'' Ajax controlled himself and asked the system in a calm tone. ''Ding, Yes; however, the host needed to have a specific cultivation realm before I could inform you about it. ''Ding, However, the host was able to find out about it on his own. So, the system will reward you for that. ''Oh. So it was like that,'' He always had a doubt that the system knew about the mysterious seed; however, he could not make the system forcefully answer his questions. If he could do that, he would have already asked about the system''s origins. "Elder Ramon, do you know how I can make it grow?" Since he had known about the origin now, Ajax wanted to know how he could make use of it. Chapter 700: Special energy orb

Chapter 700: Special energy orb

The Tree of Blessing, ording to the myths, was a tree that could grant good things in the form of blessing; However, no one believed and considered it as a myth. Even though some of them believed it, they didn''t know what kind of good things that the tree could grant someone because no one had seen that tree much less get an item from it. It was also the reason why the other vagrant cultivators stopped paying attention to As for Ajax, with the appearance of the system and all the items from the stories he heard from Elder Boron bing true made him believe that the ''Tree of Bleassing'' is real. Nevertheless, he could always find out whether it was true or false as long as he could grow it. ''Currently, the system is not saying anything information about the seed or the ''Tree of blessing'','' After asking a question to Elder Ramon, Ajax silently thought in his head while waiting for an answer. "I am not sure whether it will work or not but in one of the ancient records, it was mentioned that the ''Tree of blessing'' is only nurtured? by the constant supply of spirit essence of the elemental spirits," From Elder Ramon''s tone, it was very clear that he was not sure whether that technique would work or not. But, since Ajax asked him for a method to nurture the seed, he said what he knew about it. Spirit essence is the concentrated energy stored by the elemental spirit to use in emergency situations. To say it in even more simple words is simr to the blood essence of the cultivators. Just like cultivators, only elemental spirits that reached the elemental spiritmander realm could generate the spirit essence in their bodies. "Since you are a summoner and even have a couple of elemental spirits, then ask them to use their spirit essence to nurture that seed," All of a sudden, Elder Ramon remembered that Ajax was a summoner and a powerful elemental spirit. So, he asked him to use the help of his elemental spirit. "Oh" Ajax nodded his head as he finally understood what he had to do and thanked Elder Ramon for his help before taking the seed back from him. "No problem. By the way, if you want to nurture it, you can do that in my secret realm as the environment there is good for nurturing," Elder Ramon shook his head as he asked Ajax to nt that seed in his secret realm. Even though there were very few chances ofo nurturing the seed into a tree of blessing, Elder Ramon didn''t want to miss it. Who could give up on a duck that wouldy golden eggs from time to time? Elder Ramon decided to take a gamble on it and asked it. "Thanks for your offer, Elder Ramon. I already have a suitable ce to nurture it," Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he politely rejected Elder Ramon''s offer. It would be a joke to nurture the Tree of blessing in someone''s garden when he had his own garden for himself. Moreover, before Elder Ramon could reply to anything, Ajax said, "Actually, it was a task from my master and he wants me to do something in particr with this seed. So, I can nurture it in your secret realm, Elder Ramon." Ajax knows how to make Elder Ramon stop having thoughts on this seed. Soo, he cleverly brought his master''s name. "Oh right!" Once Ajax used his ''Dream'' master, Elder Ramon bitterly shook his head as he didn''t ask Ajax to nurture the seed in his secret realm. ''It was not a good thing to meddle with such powerful cultivator''s tasks over a thing which might be a tree of blessing or it might be something else,'' Elder Ramon shook his head and he even thought, ''Maybe, that powerful cultivator might be testing our knowledge.'' When he thought about it, Elder Ramon felt over the moon because he proved that he had enough knowledge to speak with that cultivator in the future. If Ajax knew Elder Ramon''s thoughts, then he would simply shake his head. It was just a simple lie to cover many of his actions; however, it raised the expectations of the vagrant cultivators on Ajax because they were assuming that Ajax was the bridge for them to meet that powerful cultivator from the dream. ''I will simply nurture it in my inner world,'' After keeping the seed away, Ajax silently thought in his head as he continued to think, ''If I? am sessful in nurturing it, I am sure that there would be many changes in my inner world.'' Each time, he nted a small tree or nt, the purity of the essence of nature in the inner world would increase depending on the rank of the nts or trees. However, the tree of blessing is in another league as it could not bepared to other trees or nts. So, Ajax guessed that he would bring many changes to him. ''Also, I got some new reward for finding out the information on the mysterious seed,'' Ajax recalled the reward he got earlier and opened the inbox to check the information on the reward. ''Ding, Item name:- Special energy orb Effect:- Increases the cultivation of the user from one minor realm to five minor realms. More information:- However, getting the five major realms increment is very very rare. ''Just what I needed,'' Seeing the system notification, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head. "Everyone, don''t waste time talking with one another. You need a proper rest only then your recently increased cultivation''s foundation will be good," Soon, the livid griffin reached the huge mansion andnded in front of it. As soon as everyone mounted down the spirit beasts, the guild master warned the young cultivators before walking away with other vagrant cultivators. "Yes, guild master," Everyone knew what the guild master was saying and nodded their heads agreeing to the guild master''s words. Since everyone''s cultivation was increased, they would, of course, discuss it with their friends regarding it. So, the guild master asked them to rest. ''Justice, are you able to use astral energy?'' While entering the huge mansion, Ajax transmitted his voice to Justice and asked about his training in the astral mountain. ''I was not able to use the astral energy to increase my cultivation nor I was able to store that energy in my body; however, the only good thing that happened to me in the astral mountain was that it increased my soul power,'' Justice replied with a slight smile on his face. Unlike normal cultivators, Justice didn''t have any spirit consciousness because it was broken by Ajax when Justice was still Braylon. However, the system uses some weird technique that allow Justice to level up whenever he kills evil beings. ''It''s good then,'' Ajax nodded his head and entered the huge mansion and picked a room for himself before closing the door. ''Time to enter the inner world to try the new method on the mysterious seed,'' Without wasting any time, he directly entered the inner world. Chapter 701: Nurturing the Tree of Blessing

Chapter 701: Nurturing the ''Tree of Blessing''

Currently, he had four elemental spirits in the general realm and they could concentrate and create spirit essence. So, Ajax was confident that if what Elder Ramon said was true, then you could have a tree of blessing in his inner world. As long as he could nurture it, he could slowly find out what type of items the tree could give in the form of a blessing along with the benefits for his inner world. ''This should do it,'' After entering the inner world, Ajax didn''t sow the seed with other nts in his herb garden; instead, he sowed it in the opposite direction from the garden. However, there was not much distance between the seed and the mini thunder pool. ''Cerauno,e here,'' Since Cerauno was cultivating inside the mini thunder pool, Ajax called him to test the seed. "Summoning master," Cerauno hurriedly went to Ajax and politely bowed to him. "I have one request for you," Ajax nodded his head at Cerauno before asking him, "Do you have any spirit essence stored in your body?" Creating the spirit essence is a long and tedious process; however, the benefits of spirit essence are worth it. However, he didn''t know whether Cerauno had spirit essence in his body or not. "Yes, summoning master. Just recently I was able to refine one drop of spirit essence," When he replied, Cerauno revealed a slight smile as though he had achieved something. "If you don''t mind, can you give that drop of spirit essence?" Ajax never liked forcing things on others. Even though Cerauno was his contracted elemental spirit, Ajax knew how much Cerauno had worked hard to refine that one drop of spirit essence. Refining the spirit essence or blood essence doesn''t improve cultivation. So, if someone is refining the concentrated essences in their bodies, then their cultivation would not improve. Some might think why someone would waste time by refining the essence instead of cultivating it. Because the blood essence or spirit essence of the cultivator could bring them back from near-death while healing all injuries on their body. "Sure, master. I was able to refine a drop of spirit essence because of master''s elemental paradise," Cerauno didn''t even think for a second before taking out a small white coloured drop out of nowhere. "Thank you, Cerauno," Ajax revealed a smile as he thanked Cerauno for giving him the valuable spirit essence without thinking. ''So, this is lightning spirit essence,'' Taking the drop of spirit essence into his hands, Ajax carefully observed it for a moment. Inside the drop, there was a hint of purple-coloured marks making it look beautiful. ''I hope, it will work,'' Ajax silently prayed to the heavens as he extended his hand to drop the lightning spirit essence on the ce where he sowed the seed. ''Wait a second...'' However, just when he was about to ce it on the ground, he thought of something and retracted his hands and turned his head to Cerauno before saying, "Why don''t you give it for yourself." Since it was Cerauno''s lightning essence, Ajax felt it would be nice for Cerauno to ce his spirit essence on the ground for himself. Cerauno didn''t reject it because, for some reason, he felt like doing it from the start; however, he didn''t say anything. Soon, he dropped it on the ground. After that, Ajax poured some water from the grade 3 elemental paradise. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, within no time, a small light green coloured sprout came out of the ground and continued to grow. With each passing second, it continued to grow making Ajax surprised and excited. ''Holy heavens. I didn''t expect it to grow this much within a few seconds,'' Ajax looked at the one-meter light green coloured nt in front of him with only a single leaf which was in white coloured with purple-coloured marking on it. After reaching one meter, the nt didn''t continue growing anymore and its colour also turnedpletely dark green from light-green. ''Let''s see whether the system would say anything about it at least now,'' Until now, the system acted like it didn''t know anything about the seed; however, just earlier, Ajax got the rity that the system was ying dumb. However, now, he was able to nurture the seed into a nt and soon, he could turn it into a nt. ''Also, I was able to nurture it easier than I thought,'' While waiting for the system notification, Ajax felt funny that the nurturing method was right in front of him and he was racking his brains for that seed. ''Ding, The host was able to nurture the tree of blessing. ''Ding, The host''s ess to the tree of blessing is partially unlocked. Instead of getting the information on the tree of blessing, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile. ''Good. Now, show me the details of the tree of blessing,'' Ajax nodded his head after hearing those two system notifications and asked the system to show the details. ''Ding, Tree name:- Tree of Blessing. Owner:- Ajax (Summoner) Current state:- Still growing (One leaf). Helper:- Cerauno (Lightning elemental spirit). Description:-? Only helpers of the tree of blessing are eligible to receive the blessings from it. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows as he got to know more about the tree of blessing. ''So, the tree considers the one who gives it the spirit essences as its helpers and would only bless them back...Good,'' Ajax finally understood what he had to do next with this tree of blessing. ''I will make all my elemental spirits to help the tree of blessing and they could receive blessings in return,'' Ajax became excited as he got another good thing. Moreover, it made him happier because he got the seed on his own and not from the system. So, of course, he was very happy. It''s just like a ''give and take'' process. As long as the elemental spirit gives their spirit essence to the tree of blessing, it would provide benefits for them too. ''However, what I didn''t understand is how did I end up as its owner,'' After that, Ajax raised his brows as he thought about the second section on the halographic section. Unlike other nts and trees, the tree of blessing ispletely different. Moreover, it was a tree from the greater world. So, its potential and rank is very high. So, Ajax was not shocked when he saw the owner section; however, after seeing his name, he shook him a little. Generally, Ajax had to do something like dropping his blood or marking the seed with his spirit mark to be the owner; however, Ajax had not done any of those things. So, when he saw his name in the owner section, he was shocked for a moment; however, he was excited about the next sections. So, he kept it aside for a while before thinking about it. ''Also, except for sowing, I didn''t do anything about it. So, is that the reason why the ''Tree of blessing'' acknowledged me as its master?'' Ajax thought for a moment before rejecting it and thought, ''How can its standards be this low for epting a master?'' Chapter 702: Blessing leaf, Upgraded benefits

Chapter 702: Blessing leaf, Upgraded benefits

The ''Tree of blessing'' is a high-level tree. So, Ajax felt its standard won''t be so low to ept his as its master just for sowing it into the ground. ''Ding, The host met the conditions required to be its master. Soon, the system replied without him asking any questions to the system. ''Conditions? Like?'' Ajax puzzled as he asked the system about the conditions. ''Ding, One of those conditions is the host is being a summoner with more than 5 elemental spirits. ''Oh'' After thinking about it, Ajax finally understood something. ''For the tree of blessing, it needs spirit essence. The more the better. Since I have more than 5 elemental spirits, of course, the tree of blessing would recognize me as its owner,'' After finding out the reason, Ajax felt his head lighter and looked at the single white coloured leaf on the nt in front of him. ''Looks like that leaf is rted to Cerauno but the system is not giving me any more information on the tree,'' While thinking, Ajax lightly touched the white coloured leaf with the purple pattern on it and thought in his head. ''Ding, Cerauno''s blessing leaf:- 1/3 drops of the spirit essence. ''Woah'' After seeing that sudden system notification, Ajax was surprised for a bit before revealing an excited look on his face. ''Is that what I think it is?'' Ajax could guess what that system notification implies and if his guess was right, he could test what type of thing the ''Tree of blessing'' would bless Cerauno with. Since Cerauno had already used one drop of the spirit essence of the tree of blessing, Ajax thought it would take two more drops before the tree of blessing would bless Cerauno with something. "Cerauno, refine two more drops of spirit essence before using them on this nt," Ajax directly ordered the lightning elemental spirit to refine two more drops of spirit essence for the nt. "Yes, summoning master," Just after he gave a drop of the spirit essence of the nt in front of him, Cerauno felt a close connection with it. So, even if Ajax didn''t say anything to him, he would have done the same thing. "Go back and work on it," Ajax knew Cerauno would not neglect to refine the spirit essence. So, after finishing his words, he went to his other elemental spirits. Volcanis, Bane and Necros, three of them were capable of refining the spirit essence. So, he ordered the same task for them just like Cerauno. "Yes, summoning master," All three of them nodded their heads without any hesitation; however, after they went back to their elemental paradises, they thought why their master would ask them to use their spirit essence on a nt. ''Since he said that, there must be some reason behind it,'' Unlike Cerauno, they were yet to be close to the nt. So, they thought about it for some time before removing that thought from their mind because they had enough confidence in Ajax that he would not ask them to do that thing for nothing. ''Since the tree of blessing would only give blessings to that elemental spirit, what will I get for being the owner of it.'' After giving his orders to the four elemental spirits, Ajax thought of another thing. However, there was no reply from the system which made him shake his head beforepromising him, ''Since my elemental spirits are getting benefitted, then I am also getting benefited from it.'' After someone bes a summoner, he and his elemental spirits are considered as one being. So, whatever benefits the elemental spirits were getting, the summoner was also considered to have benefited from it. ''Ding, Detected the ''Tree of blessing'' in the inner world. ''Ding, New benefits are blessed by the tree of blessing to the inner world. ''Ding, The tree of blessing not only looks after its helpers, but it also helps the ground it was rooted in. Just as Ajaxpromised himself, his head was continuously filled with system notifications that made him freeze for a moment. ''As expected of the ''Tree of blessing''. It was not called as Tree of blessing for nothing,'' Ajax revealed a satisfied smile on his face as he asked the system, ''Show me the new benefits of the inner world.'' Among all the high-level trees, the ''Tree of blessing'' is the most generous one. As long as someone helps it, it will definitely repay them. ''Ding, Upgraded benefits:- 1) The purity of the essence of nature in the inner world is nowparable to the Ylercester province. 2) 10 percent chance of awakening the ancestral memories of the spirit beasts living inside the inner world. 3) Elemental spirits'' cultivation speed is upgraded to 3 times. Note:- This doesn''t affect the elemental paradises in the inner world. "Good...good. I think this is only the beginning. When it turns into a tree, I wonder how many benefits my inner world would receive," Seeing the upgraded benefits, Ajax nodded his head because he was satisfied with the benefits for now and he felt there would be more benefits in the future. ''Even though it doesn''t affect the elemental paradise, it would help elemental spirits like it and Spirus who didn''t have an elemental paradise,'' Ajax looked at it, who was looking at the little fuzzball along with the senior fuzzball and Spirus, who was meditating under the small ability fruit tree and thought in his head. Before these benefits were added, the inner world already had these benefits; however, they were not this high. For example, there was only a 5 percent chance of awakening the ancestral memories and the cultivation speed was only 2 times. "Anyway, it''s time to leave the inner world and break that special energy orb," Since he hadpleted the main thing he hade into the inner world for, he decided to go out; however, all of a sudden, he remembered something and dyed his return. ''I haven''t checked the progress of my official elemental spirits. I will go and motivate them to cultivate even faster to enter into the general realm,'' With that thought in his mind, he walked towards the mini dark abyss. "Summoning master," The moment he walked towards the dark elemental paradise, the two official elemental spirits walked out and bowed to him. "Nite and Dabrus...how are you doing," Ajax nodded his head and asked them. Even though he could use the system to check their cultivation, he wanted to learn from them. "Level 10 elitemander realm," "Level 9 elitemander realm" Nite and Dabrus answered with a slight glint in their eyes. Before forming the contract with Ajax, they never thought they would reach this level of cultivation within such a short period of time. So, there was a satisfied look on their faces when they replied. "You are my official elemental spirits. You don''t want to fight in the outside world? If that so, you can just remain in this elemental paradise forever," However, unexpected to their expectations, their summoning master was not proud of their cultivation and berated them for being slow. "..." Both the elemental spirits were speechless at his words and looked at each other''s faces. Chapter 703: Breakthrough

Chapter 703: Breakthrough

Actually, both official elemental spirits were very satisfied with their cultivation speed; however, they never expected that they would be scolded for what they were satisfied with. However, when they thought a little deeper, they felt Ajax''s words were right because as the official elemental spirits, they should be more powerful than the non-official elemental spirits. So, looking at Volcanis and others, they were embarrassed for their earlier satisfied feelings. ''We only got till here with the help of the elemental spirits and elemental spirit stone,'' Both the elemental spirits thought in their heads and if not for those resources, they would have been still in themander realm or even lower. "If you can break through to the general realm, you can gain more benefits," While saying that, he pointed his finger at the ''Tree of blessing'' and exined everything about it. ''Really?'' Nite and Dabrus were excited as they promised that they would work even harder and reach the elemental general realm as soon as possible. ''I will go now,'' Ajax was satisfied with the elemental spirits'' promise and left the inner world. Actually, Ajax was pretty much satisfied with their progress in the cultivation; however, if he didn''t want them to be satisfied with that level. So, he berated him. "Looks like I need to visit the inner world once again," Earlier, while strolling in the inner world, he saw the little fuzzball was re-cultivating and the spirit turtle had been asleep for much time already. So, he wanted to enter the inner world if either one of them awakens. ''Anyway, let''s keep these things aside and focus on my cultivation,'' Even though he scolded his elemental spirits for their low cultivation, when he thought about his own cultivation, Ajax revealed a bitter smile and shook his head. However, he knew that he needed toplete more ''A'' danger rating missions to get more energy orbs. ''Break'' Without wasting any time, he broke the special energy orb in his spirit consciousness. ''I hope, I get four levels of increment in my cultivation,'' After breaking that special orb, Ajax prayed heavens to get more levels from the orb. Soon, the energy from the special orb was much thicker than normal energy orbs and it rushed to the walls of his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host reached level 8 elitemander realm. ''Ding, The host reached level 9 elitemander realm. However, only after two system notifications, all the rich energy in his spirit consciousness disappeared without a trace. ''What? All the energy from the special orb disappeared just like that?'' Ajax was a little disappointed that he got only two levels from the special orb when it could give a maximum of five levels. ''Looks like I need to wait some more time to reach the general realm,'' Even though the special energy orb was not in his expectations beforeing to this secret realm, it raised his expectations. So, except for shaking his head, he could not do anything unless the system gives him an ''A'' danger rating mission which would not interrupt his special training. ''I need just two more minor realms energy orb,'' Ajax just wants one good ''A'' danger rating mission to sessfully enter the general realm. ''I wonder, whether any new system features would unlock after I enter the general realm,'' The general realm is one of the standard realms in cultivation. So, Ajax was expecting something from the system after he broke through to the energy realm. ''Time to rest,'' After absorbing the Astral energy into his astral space for 24 hours, Ajax soul was stronger; however, his body needed some rest. Even though he had many things to ask the system about astral energy, he went to sleep. ..... Just like him, all the other young cultivators were also tired. So, without wasting any time, they went to sleep too. ..... In the depths of the cursed abyss, ''Udo, keep an eye out for the devil, it is very skilled in sneak attacks,'' In the mist-filled cursed abyss, Edmond transmitted his voice to Udo and asked him to be careful. ''Haha...who are you asking to be careful? Did you forget that I have the skill to anticipate others'' attacks beforehand? Not to mention, I am now an elite general realm cultivator,'' Udo replied to Edmond in the same voice transmission with augh. However, he still followed Edmond''s suggestion and increased his senses of his surroundings. "Found you," After a couple of moments, Udo sensed something and without waiting for Edmond, he directly took out his long axe from his back and hacked at something. ''Kacha'' ''Ssh'' Udo''s speed was so fast that the thing that was trying to sneak attack on Edmond was killed in an instant sshing ck coloured blood. "Edmond, this finish is much easier than I thought. Are you sure it is an ''A+'' mission?" After killing the being, Udo checked whether it was the thing they came for or not. And after confirming it, Udo revealed a dissatisfied look on his face as he asked Edmond about the mission. It was his first mission after entering the elite general realm. So, he wanted some action; however, the mission was over just with a simple sh from his axe. "Who cares. Let''s take the body and submit it to the guild to get our reward. The reward will help us improve our cultivation. That was the only reason, I picked this mission," Edmond nced at the body of the abyss devil and exined why he picked such a mission before asking Udo to pick the dead body. Abyss devil belongs to the lowest type of devils among the all devils. So, that mission was ced by one of the greater families, the Hammergust family and the reward was a drop of pure dragon blood essence. A drop of pure dragon blood essence could be used to increase the cultivation of elite general realms; however, the most important use of it was, it would help the consumer gain a stronger body that could even stop the heaven grade weapons which were imbued with level 1 weapon dao. As for Level 2 weapon dao imbued weapons, they could only slightly injure their bodies. So, Edmond felt it was a good reward; however, what he didn''t expect was the mission. It was too easy to be called an ''A+'' danger rating. "Nice" Udo didn''t ask who would use the drop of pure dragon blood essence; instead, he casually stored the abyss devil''s body into his space ring. "That drop of blood essence is too strong to consume directly. So, we need to find high-level water or portion to dilute it before we both can consume it," After Udo stored the abyss devil''s body, Edmond exined to Udo while keeping an eye on the surroundings for any abyss devils to pop up. "As you wish," Udo revealed a slight smile and didn''t reject Edmond''s words before saying, "We are still in the outskirts of the abyss devil''s territory. So, you can rx." ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, a silhouette rushed past Udo and aimed its sharp ws at Edmond. "Edmond, watch out," Udo shouted out loud when he saw that and as he tried to alert Edmond; however it was toote for Edmond to dodge that attack. Chapter 704: The Obsidian

Chapter 704: The Obsidian

ording to the information they got from the mission, a single abyss devil was wandering outside the abyss devil''s territory and they had to kill it before bringing its body back to the guild. However, what they didn''t expect is there was another abyss devil. Looking at its speed, Udo could guess that its strength was around level 5 of the elite general realm. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' Just when the abyss devil''s ws were about to prate into Edmond''s throat, a huge silhouette appeared behind the abyss devil and pierced its hand into the abyss devil. "Nice timing, Darbaudr," Edmond was not much worried about his safety because he had other trump cards that could save him in almost all cases; however, before he could use them, Darbaudr came to his rescue saving Edmond the trouble of using his trumps cards. Since Ajax was busy with the special training, Darbaudr tagged along with Edmond and Udo to stretch his muscles bypleting some missions. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' . . . All of a sudden, many three-meter abyss devils appeared in the mist around him. With each passing second, the number continued to increase and almost all the abyss devils have the general and elite general realm cultivation. "Edmond, what kind of mission did you pick this time?" Seeing the hundreds of abyss devils surround them, Udo asked Edmond with a bitter smile on his face. "Didn''t you want some good mission to test your new strength?" However, Edmond revealed a slight smile on his face as he questioned back Udo. "It is not the time to joke around, Edmond," Udo froze for a moment before shaking his head and replied to Edmond. "Actually, I didn''t know about it. I am assuming this is a trap speciallyid for us," All of a sudden, Edmond became serious as he said his thoughts about the mission. "A trap?" Udo raised his brows as he thought about the mission and said, "Are you saying that the Hammergust family is working with the abyss devils?" "Yes, let''s kill these things before continuing our conversation," After saying that, Edmond summoned a crystal sword before rushing forward to kill the abyss devils surrounding them. "Sure," Udo revealed an evil smile as he started hacking down the abyss devils with his axe. "Swoosh" ''Kacha'' As for the barbarian, he would disappear and appear behind the abyss devils before piercing his hands into their bodies to take out their hearts and crushed them. All three of them continued to fight with excited looks on their faces. .... After five hours, In the Astral heart secret realm, "System, can you exin to me more about Astral energy?" After five hours of sleep, Ajax''s body was no longer tired. Moreover, since he still had an hour left before they go to their next training session, Ajax wanted to know about astral energy. ''Ding, Astral energy mainly used to strengthen the soul. As for the remaining benefits, the host needs to increase his cultivation of at least the General realm. ''Oh'' Ajax raised his brows only for a moment before shaking his head because reaching the general realm depends on the system. As long as it generates an ''A'' danger rating mission, he could gain an energy orb to break through into the general realm. ''Ding, Currently, there are no suitable ''A'' danger rating missions avable. The host needs to venture more into the outside world to gain a mission. As though the system had guessed his thoughts, it sent another notification to give him some rification. ''Once the special training ispleted, I will do that,'' Ajax didn''t want to leave the special training halfway because he wanted to see all the secret realms and to know what the useful cultivation resources were in those secret realms. So that, in the future, he could exchange them from the vagrant cultivators. "So, what can I use the astral energy in my astral space? Do I need to store it like that till I reach the general realm?" Ajax asked the system looking at the 80 units of astral energy in his astral space. That''s right! After absorbing the Astral energy in the astral mountain for an entire day, Ajax was able to umte exactly 80 units. ''Ding, Just like the 2 spirit points, the host didn''t have any use with the astral energy as of now. The system replied as soon as he asked that question to the system. ''Oh right! Spirit points! Currently, I have 2 spirit points, I wonder what they are used for,'' Ajax already knows what the system would answer if he asked about the spirit points. So, he didn''t bother to ask the system about it. Back in the five elemental words, Ajax got those two spirit points when he killed the older birdman and an avatar of a demon king from the greater world. However, he still didn''t have a single clue about it. ''Damn it...damn it. Everythinges down to power,'' Ajax clenched his fists whenever the system asked him to be stronger to know the answers to his question. "Everyone,e out," Soon, Ajax heard a loud voice from outside that made hime out of his thoughts. ''Is it time already?'' The voice belonged to the guild master. So, after hearing it, Ajax came out of his room and assembled outside the huge mansion along with other young cultivators. "We are now going to the next secret realm," They didn''t waste any time as everyone mounted the livid Giffin before flying out of the Astral heart secret realm. "Elder Ramon, where are we going now?" Since Ajax became close to Elder Ramon, he asked him which secret realm they were going to now. To enter into a new secret realm, first, they have toe back to the Zrochester province and only then anyone could enter another secret realm. "We are entering into Elder Esmund''s secret realm, the Obsidian. It was famous for various types of metals and forging materials. So, he named it after his favourite refining material, the Obsidian," Elder Ramon not only answered Ajax''s question, he even exined the name along with other details of that secret realm. "Oh" Ajax and other young cultivators looked at Elder Esmund and revealed a slight smile on their faces. "Okay then. Since you already know about my secret realm, I will exin your next training session. It has nothing to do with forging or its materials," Elder Esmund revealed a slight smile as he continued exining, "It is a battle tower." "Battle tower?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the words ''Battle tower''. Because a battle tower is a high-level artifact that could help the young cultivators in simting the battles. Except for the top three sects and the Hammergust family, no one has it in their possession in the entire Zrochester province. "You heard it right! Your next special training is in the battle tower. All you have to do is find the spirit beasts in the respective halls and clear as many levels as possible," "Whoever can clear the highest levels in my battle tower, I have a special gift from them," Esmund tempted with the reward to make them give their best. "Yes" All the young cultivators became excited and nodded their heads at Esmund''s words. Chapter 705: Entering The Battle Tower

Chapter 705: Entering The Battle Tower

In the cursed abyss, "When was thest we felt this excited, Edmond?" Udo gasped for breath as he asked Edmond while taking out his huge axe from the body of the abyss devil. "I think when we are still in the elitemander realm and just entered the middle-section of the cursed wilderness," Edmond ced his crystal sword on the ground and replied to Udo. ''Kacha'' As for Darbaudr, he crushed the heart of thest abyss devil. The barbarian''s body waspletely covered in the ck blood of the abyss devils and on his face there was a mix of both tired and excited looks. Just like Udo and Edmond, the fight was so satisfying for Darbaudr that he wished there were a few more abyss devils. Around them, there were many corpses of the abyss devils lying on the ground. "Anyway, let''s bring back these bodies with us as they could fetch us some good cultivation resources," Soon, Edmond stood up and asked others to collect the bodies while he did the same. After more than 30 minutes, they were able to store all abyss devils'' bodies into their space rings before leaving that ce. One could understand how many abyss devils they have killed for the past six hours that even collecting all the bodies took them more than 30 minutes. ..... "Damn it...didn''t Holor said there will be only one elite general realm cultivator and a general realm cultivator? Why did three elite general realm cultivatorse here?" In the distance, a red-coloured abscess devil looked at the departing silhouettes of Edmond and others and asked the ck coloured abyss devil beside him. Generally, all the abyss devils are ck in colour except for some special abyss devils. "My lord, we got the wrong information that cost us the lives of nearly a thousand general and elite general realm devils," The ck coloured abyss devil clenched its fists when he saw the death of their devils. "Ask Holor toe here. I want to discuss something with him," The red abyss devil sighed as he gave an order to the ck abyss devil before disappearing into the mist of the cursed abyss. "Sure, my dear king," The ck abyss devil revealed a devilish smile as he acknowledged the order before disappearing into the mist. ... In the Obsidian secret realm, "Everyone, enter the battle tower at the same time," They entered Esmund''s secret realm without any problem and as soon as they entered it, they were taken to a tower-like building that had exactly five floors including the ground floor. It was the battle tower that Esmund had mentioned earlier. Moreover, they were not given any time before they were asked to enter the battle tower. Without saying anything, they followed Esmund''s words and entered the battle tower. "Wee to Obsidian battle tower," The moment Ajax went into the tower, a female voice resounded in the room which weed him. Ajax was not surprised because he knew it was the voice that would guide the participants in the battle tower. "Hello" Nevertheless, Ajax waved his hand and greeted back. "The participant has to kill 1 rank 5 spirit beast, Raging steel bear to enter the next hall," The female voice directly said what he had to do before going silent. ''Roar'' Just as the female voice became silent, Ajax heard a loud roar and hurriedly turned back to see a huge brown coloured bear which was covered in armour that looked like silver. "Come," Ajax revealed a slight smile before asking the raging bear toe at him. ''Roar'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' When it saw Ajax''s attitude, the raging steel bear was angered and roared at him before rushing at him. Even though the bear was huge, its speed was not bad and within a few moments, it reached him before mming its huge bear paw at him. "Absolute darkness," Ajax didn''t even move from his ce as he used his most powerful skill. From the moment his soul became stronger in the astral mountain, Ajax wanted to test this skill and after using it, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen. ''Roar'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used the skill, the raging steel bear froze for a second and painfully roared before dispersing into ck smoke. "Powerful" It was the only word to describe the skill because the rank 5 spirit beast is equal to the general realm and Ajax killed it with a single thought in a second. Earlier, he killed the general realm demons with ''Absolute darkness''; however, they were not killed instantly and took a much longer time. Moreover, he would feel tired and his thoughts would be in mess after using the skill. ''I am perfectly alright and there is not a single negative thought in my mind,'' Ajax felt excited after seeing how powerful his absolute darkness had be. Until now, there was a small fear in him that he would be crazy if he used the skill more than 3 times in a row; however, after his soul became stronger, he was confident to use the absolute darkness food 5 times in a row without the fear of being turned into a crazy cultivator. "Participant can go to next hall," Soon, the female voice resounded in the hall before a door appeared to his left side. "Let''s see what kind of guardians were there in the other halls," Ajax rxedly entered the next hall through the door. "Kill three coloured python," As soon as he entered the next hall, the familiar female voice resounded in the hall and soon a? ''hiss'' sound could be heard by Ajax. "Three coloured python? Elder Esmund has some good collections of the spirit beasts," Although the raging steel bear is a verymon spirit beast, it was rare for the bear to have the strength of rank 5. As for the three coloured python, it was a rare beast; however, if searched in the cursed wilderness, cultivators could find it. "Mountain splitting sword technique," He wanted to save the absolute darkness to the next levels. Since he was still in level 1 of the battle tower, he wanted to test his other techniques which consume almost no essence of nature. ''Swoosh'' After seeing the three coloured python, Ajax took out his inheritance sword before using the only sword technique he learned. A 2 meters long sword wave was created in the mid-air and rushed towards the three-coloured python into two before it dispersed into a three coloured smoke just like the raging steel bear. ''Too easy'' Ajax waited for the female voice to announce the result and the door to the next hall too appeared. "Participant is allowed to enter the next hall," He didn''t wait for much longer before a door appeared in the wall in front of him. ¡­. "They were faster," Outside the battle tower, all the vagrant cultivators were watching the fighting happening inside the battle tower in the various mirror screens and muttered to themselves. Not only Ajax, but there were also others who were able to clear the hall in a single move before proceeding to move to the next hall. Seeing that, they were very satisfied and continued to watch the fights in the mirror screens. Chapter 706: Special Reward

Chapter 706: Special Reward

"Esmund after the benefits did you set for clearing the level 1?" While watching the fights in the mirror screens, the guild master asked Esmund about the rewards for clearing the battle tower. The battle tower in front of them had five levels and clearing each level would reward the participant with something which was already prepared by the owner of the battle tower. "The rewards for the first three levels is verymon; however, for level 4 and level 5, it is good," Esmund revealed a slight smile as he answered the guild master''s question. "..." Everyone was speechless when they heard those words; however, they revealed smiles on their faces. The true motive of this battle tower was to train them through the battle and the rewards they gain from clearing the levels are secondary. "ording to my guess, they might barely reach level 4 and as for level 5, even if they reach, they can''t win it," Esmund was very confident that no one would reach level 5. "So, who is guarding the halls in level 5 then?" After seeing the confident look on Esmund''s face, the guild master asked with a curious look on his face. "For that, you need to wait. Unless someone reaches level 5, you will not get to know beforehand," Esmund chuckled as he continued saying, "However, I can say one thing for sure that you will be surprised." When he said hisst sentence, Esmund revealed a mysterious smile making the other vagrant cultivators even more curious. After Esmund''s words, no one continued to ask him about the guardians of the halls in thest level. ¡­.. After 8 minutes, ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' Ajax threw his bloodlust spear at an armoured minotaur and killed it in a single attack. ''Level 3 spear dao along with a heaven grade spear could easily pierce through the armour of rank 5 spirit beast like a tofu,'' Ajax walked towards the corpse of the armoured minotaur which started disappearing to pick his weapon. "Congrattions to the participant for killing the armoured minotaur." "The participant has sessfully cleared all the 10 halls in the first level." "The reward box is avable along with a special reward box for being the first participant to clear level 1." Just as he stored his weapon back into his inventory, the female voice resounded in the hall making Ajax reveal a satisfied smile. That''s right! Ajax cleared all the ten halls in the first level of the battle tower. He cleared each and every hall with a single attack. So, within 10 minutes, hepleted all the 10 halls in the first level including the one he cleared earlier. Moreover, he didn''t have any fear that the vagrant cultivators would be greedy to covet his weapons or things and used everything openly. He used only a single skill in each and every hall like Spatial des, Demon w, Shadow clone. Overall, except for summoning the elemental spirits, he used almost all of his trump cards without any fear. "I wonder what is the reward and special reward," Ajax was not surprised that there were rewards for clearing the level because it serves as the motivation to perform even better for the rewards from the next level. ¡­.. "As expected of the personal disciple of the powerful cultivators. Not only he got two peak heaven grade weapons but powerful skills," Elder Ramon was the one who was keeping an eye on Ajax from the beginning. Every time, he used a single strike to clear the hall, it would raise amotion outside the battle tower. "Stop bothering about Ajax and focus on your own personal disciples," When Elder Ramon said about Ajax, the guild master shook his head and asked them to concentrate on their own personal disciples. From the guild master''s perspective, when a master watches the battles of his students, they could guide them better and moreover, they could also notice all the weaknesses and strengths of that disciple. "Look Levi is second in clearing the first level," Elder Seward, who was watching the battles of his disciples announced when Levi finished the first level, Paulin was the third one to finish level 1 and after him, all the participants were able to clear the first level within no time. Actually, level 1 is too easy for all the young cultivators, who were in the general realm. So, they were able to finish just after Ajax finished the halls in level 1 of the battle tower. .... ''1000 low-level spirit crystals?'' When Ajax opened the normal rewards, he was shocked to see 1000 low-level spirit stones in the box. ''Is it even called a reward?'' Ajax scoffed at the spirit stones before tossing them into the inventory before opening the special reward for the first participant to clear level 1. ''At least give an item that has some value to it,'' Ajax prayed to his favourite holy heavens and opened it. ''Huh?'' It was an old scroll with a spear symbol on it. Seeing that Ajax raised his brows as he picked the scroll from the box. ''Ding, Detected a new heaven grade weapon technique. Do you want to learn it? Soon, a system notification appeared in his head that made him excited. Because weapon technique is so rare that even Edmond and Udo only have one or two weapon techniques. So, he was excited; however, he didn''t learn it directly because he wanted to know what type of weapon technique it was. "System, what type of weapon technique is it?" With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system. ''Ding, The scroll has a special seal that is preventing me from learning its name. ''Sigh...I think it was intentionally sealed that way from giving the scroll to others,'' Finally, Ajax understood that reward was for him to use on himself. As long as someone is a cultivator, they would definitely use a weapon and So, they need to use it on themselves before knowing whether it was useful for them or not. It will make the cultivator stop from being selling it away because what if it was a weapon technique that he could use for himself? ''System, I want to learn it,'' Since he needed some powerful weapon techniques, he decided to learn the technique because he uses two weapons. So, he had higher chances of getting a useful weapon technique. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 1000 units of the essence of nature to learn it. ''Ding, Do you still want to learn it? Yes / No? ''Such an essence grubber,'' Ajax shook his head and epted it. ''Ding, Deducted 1000? units of the essence of nature from the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Aargh'' As soon as he got the system notification, Ajax felt a sharp pain in his head that made him copse to the ground and started groaning in pain. ...¡­ ''Damn it...only 10 spirit stones,'' ''This is the worst reward I have ever got,'' . . . ''Looks like the Elder Esmund is the most stingy one among all the vagrant cultivators Soon, every participant in the battle tower checked their rewards and they were shocked at the rewards and bitterly shook their heads. ¡­.. Chapter 707: Mighty Puncturing Thrust

Chapter 707: Mighty Puncturing Thrust

Outside the battle tower, "Esmund, you are very generous with the special reward. Didn''t you say there is no good reward in the starting levels?" "Right right...you casually rewarded with a heaven grade weapon technique just for the first level," "Tsk tsk...when did you be these generous, Stingy Esmund?" All the vagrant cultivators asked Esmund when they saw Ajax''s special reward. "Youngsters needs those types of rewards from time to time," Esmund revealed a slight smile as replied to them; however, inside his heart, he was cursing his own bad luck. ''How did I forget about it?'' He didn''t feel well when he thought about it because he thought he removed all the special rewards from the battle tower. However, unexpectedly, he forgot to remove it. ''Let it be...I need to use this opportunity to make others fight their best,'' Without wasting any time pondering about the reward, Esmund took out a talisman from out of nowhere before saying, "Ajax got a heaven grade weapon technique for being the first one to clear the level 1. So, try your best in the second level and get a special reward for yourselves." All the other vagrant cultivators felt something was not right when they heard Esmund word but they didn''t say anything. ¡­. In the battle tower, "Ajax got a heaven grade weapon technique...¡­.." Soon the female voice resounded in the various halls of the first level repeating the exact same words that Esmund had spoken into the talisman. ''What? He got a heaven grade weapon technique?'' ''I got the measly 10 spirit stones,'' ''I need to try my best inpleting the second level,'' All the participants were shocked for a moment before bing morepetitive all of a sudden and thought to give their best in the second level. ... ''Aargh'' As for Ajax, his pain just came to an end before he got a system notification. ''Ding, Learned a Heaven grade spear technique ''Mighty puncturing thrust'' ''Phew...finally it''s over,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at theplete information on the technique he had just learned. ''Ding, Weapon technique name:- Mighty puncturing thrust Grade:- Heaven Effect:- With a good spear, the attacking power of the user increases by three times. ''Good'' Ajax nodded his head and waited for the female voice to guide him to the next level. ''Looks like I am lucky,'' Ajax could not help but nce at the spear in his hands. Earlier, he finished the armoured minotaur with the bloodlust spear. So, it was still in his hands and the technique he just learned is rted to the spear. So, of course, he felt like he was lucky. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, some stairs appeared in front of him that was leading to the above floor. ''Let''s see what is the second level of the battle tower looks like,'' Ajax was curious about the second level because he also has a battle tower; however, he was still in the first level. So, he was wondering about the second level. ''As long as I see the guardians in the second level here, I might get a rough approximation of my own battle tower''s second level.'' While thinking that, he climbed to the second level of the battle tower. "Kill all the raging steel bears" As soon as he entered the second level, the familiar female voice resounded in the hall and just as she finished speaking, three raging steel bears were rushing at him. ''Let''s test my new spear technique,'' Since he had just learned a new spear technique, he wanted to test it on the three raging steel bears that wereing at him. "Die" ''Swoosh'' With a loud shout, he used the knowledge he gained about the spear technique while keeping his left leg one step forward and thrust it at the first raging steel bear. ''Puchi'' ''Boom'' Unlike the sword which would release a sword wave, the spear didn''t release any wave; instead, it directly pierced into the first raging steel bear and sted into small pieces before disappearing into a cloud of ck smoke. ''What? Puncturing means sting away the body?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw it; however, he soon became even more excited. "This technique is so cool," The more interesting thing about the skill is he didn''t even use his full strength. Just half of his full strength and the rank 5 beast sted into pieces. ¡­. ''What? He already learned the spear technique?'' ''How is that possible?'' ''Isn''t that a heaven grade weapon technique? How can he learn it within a few moments,'' All the vagrant cultivators were shocked when they saw Ajax kill the raging steel bear with a single strike by using the technique which he found a few moments ago. No matter how much they wanted to refrain from watching the mirror screen that is showing Ajax''s battle, they were keeping an eye on him from time to time. "Did you notice something? Earlier, after touching the scroll, he fell to the ground with his hands on the head. Maybe that powerful cultivator injected the knowledge about the technique into his head?" All of a sudden, Esmund recalled something and said it to other vagrant cultivators. "What? Forcefully injecting knowledge about a weapon technique? If it was like that Ajax would die for that," The guild master shook his head as he rejected that option instantly; however, after thinking for some time, he felt that might be too true. When a cultivator bes too powerful like reaching the king realm or above that realm, theirprehension speed would be very high.? Moreover, they could also inject their knowledge about the particr technique into others with some side effects. However, other than side effects on the powerful cultivator, the one who was receiving the knowledge would die because they could not handle that much knowledge about some powerful techniques or other things. "What if the powerful cultivator has something to reduce that death probability?" Elder Esmund replied once more making all the vagrant cultivators into a dilemma. "Let''s just stop thinking about it and help him. Since he is a good youngster, he would not forget our help and will definitely repay us," Soon, the guild master asked others to pry into Ajax''s secret and suggested that they would help him in his cultivation andter they asked for what they needed. Even though it might look like they were selfish, it was a cultivation world. No one is kind enough to give things for free to others. ''Yes'' Everyone agreed with the guild master''s words. ¡­.. Inside the battle tower, After killing the first raging steel bear, Ajax killed the other two steel bears using less than 50 percent. ''Looks like I need just 30 percent of my full-powered thrust to kill an early rank 5 spirit beast'' For the second beast, he used 40 percent and for thest bear, he only used 30 percent but still, he was able to kill the bear. So, he finally came to the conclusion that he only needed 30 percent to kill an early rank 5 spirit beast before proceeding to the next hall through the door on his left. Chapter 708: Third level...Completed

Chapter 708: Third level...Completed

Inside the battle tower, "The fisrt hall is cleared" "The second hall is cleared" . . . "Tenth hall is cleared" "Forpleting the second, the participant is rewarded with a reward" The female voice resound after every time, Ajax cleared a hall and finally after clearing the tenth hall, he heard what he wanted to hear. "Huh?" However, Ajax frowned because the main important announcement didn''te from the female voice. "Is there no special reward?" Since the female voice was not saying anything about the special reward, he himself asked. "Someone had already imed the special reward. Better luck next time," The female voice replied with the same cold tone making Ajax shook his head. "Looks like, I was fully focused on testing my new spear technique," He didn''t doubt the female voice because he tried differentbinations with his spear technique to fully understand the technique and tried to increase his mastery over it. "Please proceed to the next level," Soon, famr stairs appeared in front of him leading to the next level. "I think 10 rank 5 spirit beasts appear in each hall in the third level," Ajax understood the working of Esmund''s battle tower because, in the second level, he met the same type of spirit beasts from level 1; however, the number of spirit beasts increased to three. So, he guessed that in level 3, each hall would have 10 rank 5 spirit beasts guarding it. ''However, I don''t know whether my battle tower would follow the same pattern as this battle tower or not,'' With that thought in his mind, he started climbing the stairs and continued thinking, ''but for some reason, I feel the guardians in my battle tower live real things, unlike this battle tower.'' .... Outside the battle tower, "Once again Ajax be the first one to ascend to the third level," Elder Ramon revealed a slight smile as he continued saying, "Until now, I thought I am the stingiest one; however, it looks like I found another one today." While saying that, he looked at Esmund. "Who are you calling stingy?" Elder Esmund became a little angry as he asked Elder Ramon. Actually, Ajax was the first participant toplete the second level; however, Elder Esmund had done something with the battle tower in order to skip the special reward. As for the other vagrant cultivators, they were not surprised much at Elder Esmund''s cunning ideas to save some cultivation resources. Moreover, this training session is for the young cultivators to fight the spirit beasts in the battle tower. So, no one said anything. "Damn you¡­.don''t give me that look," When he saw the looks on the faces of the vagrant cultivators, Elder Esmund became furious as he shouted at them. "Do you even know how much it costs me to operate that battle tower?" "Just the female voice to guild the participants in the battle tower costs me one hundred thousand spirit stones and not to mention to create the rank 5 spirit beasts with the same battle power," For the first time in his life, Elder Esmund was not stingy with the cultivation resources and they were looking at him as a stingy person. So, he was furious and exined everything. ''...'' After hearing his words, they didn''t say anything because they already know that operating a battle tower costs too much. The higher the levels that participants ascend, the cost to operate the battle tower increases. Nevertheless, they didn''t forget that Elder Esmund is stingy with the special rewards. "Anyway, let''s stop talking about the special reward and did you see Ajax''s new battle technique?" The guild master just wanted to divert the topic. So, he asked something. "From the looks of it, he was testing variousbinations. It will not take him much time before he reaches the pinnacle stage in the technique," Elder Sandra said because she kept an eye on Ajax after he learned the spear technique. "Yes," Everyone nodded their heads and looked at their personal disciples'' battle in the second level of the battle tower. ¡­. As Ajax ascended to the third level, except for Levi, everyone was still on the second level feeling a little troubled to clear the halls. However, judging from their attacks, they were also not using their strongest attacks; instead, they were only using the less powerful attacks and saved the strongest attacks for the third level. .... "Kill all the spirit beasts," As soon as he entered the third level, Ajax heard the female voice in the hall along with 20 raging steel bears rushing at him at an incredible speed. "Mighty puncturing thrust¡­.Full power" Just when all 20 raging steel bears reached him, he took a couple of steps sideways and used the spear technique at its full power. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' ''Boom'' With just a single thrust, the five raging steel bears sted into pieces and the remaining bears were thrown away from the impact. ''Cool'' Ajax was excited when he saw how powerful the spear technique could be. Even though the current hall has more spirit beasts than he expected, he was not bothered in the least. In his view, more spirit beasts are good for him to practice his skills and techniques. "Time to finish it," Since he had missed the special reward at the second level, Ajax wanted to make sure that he would get the special reward at this level. As for the normal reward he got in the second level, it was 5000 spirit stones making him shake his head. After receiving two normal rewards, Ajax lost interest in those rewards and currently, he only aimed for the special rewards which he would get forpleting the level as soon as possible. ''Puchi'' ''sh'' He three the bloodlust spear at the two raging steel bears in the distance and killed them before using his demon ws to kill another two raging steel bears. In the end, before any of the bears could recover from the earlier impact, they were all killed by him. "Next hall," He didn''t want to waste any time and as soon as the door to the next hall appeared he rushed into it. . . . . . "Huf huf" "Finally, cleared all the ten halls in less than 20 minutes," Ajax breathed heavily as he held his bloodlust spear and waited for the female voice to announce the rewards. "These armoured minotaurs have tough skin just like armours. I have to use the level 3 spear dao along with the full-powered spear technique to kill a single minotaur," By the time he reached thest hall, Ajax noticed that the spirit beasts'' cultivation started increasing. In the first hall, there were 20 early rank 5 spirit beasts and by the time he reached the fifth hall, it was 10 mid-rank 5 spirit beasts and 10 early rank 5 spirit beasts. And for the tenth hall, 5 early rank 5, 10 mid-rank 5 and 5 peak rank 5 spirit beasts. Moreover, his cultivation was only level 9 elitemander realm. So, of course, he would be tired after continuously fighting from the start. "The participant haspleted the third level and he will be rewarded with a normal reward," ''Huh? No special reward?'' Chapter 709: Holor Hammergust

Chapter 709: Holor Hammergust

''Huh? No special reward?'' Ajax was surprised to see there was no special reward for the third level also making him shake his head. ''Looks like senior brother Levi is going all out,'' He guessed that except for Levi no one couldplete the third level within 20 minutes because he was an elite general realm cultivator. So, rank 5 spirit beasts could not do anything to him. However, what he didn''t know was Levi was actually fighting an early rank 6 spirit beast and 19 peak rank 5 spirit beasts in his tenth hall of the third level. ''This is not fair,'' Ajax felt it was unfair for mixing Levi into thepetition. Nevertheless, he continued to ascend the stairs to the fourth level. ¡­. While Ajax ascended the stairs to the fourth level, the other participants were having a difficult time dealing with the guardians of the hall on the third level. Neil was the first one to die in the first hall of the third level because his cultivation was lowpared to others. By the time they reached the sixth and seventh halls, the rest of the participants decided to use their strongest attacks. Also, Edmond''s adopted children''s strength lies in the unity and since they were fighting alone, their battle prowess was greatly reduced. "Nine-men awakening is good by when fighting individually it won''t help much," The vagrant cultivators watching muttered to themselves. They wanted their disciples to have to fight individually because in the champion''s contest, they have to fight on their own. ¡­.. On the fourth floor, "Kill early rank 6 raging steel bear," The female voice announced the guardian of his fist floor which was the same raging steel bear with increased strength. ''Please don''t attack like a puppet and fight like a real spirit beast,'' So far, all the raging steel bears he fought, he felt like they were puppets and only followed the regr pattern to attack him. For example, as soon as he entered the hall, they would rush at him and would use the bear paws. However, he didn''t know what their next attack would be because he would kill them before they could use it. "m m" "Roar roar" Unlike the previous raging steel bears, the spirit beast in front of him angrily mmed the ground. Just from a single nce, anyone could say that its name suits it well. Because its eyes werepletely red and roared too loud that made Ajax close his ears. "Yes...yes. This is what I want," Finally, Ajax was excited to fight the raging steel bear and instead of waiting for the raging steel bear to rush at him, he himself rushed at it with a face full of excitement. ''Might puncturing thrust'' He used the full-powered thrust at the raging steel bear. ''ng'' However, when the tip of the bloodlust spear touched it, a clear metallic sound resounded in the hall making Ajax raise his brows. ''Swoosh'' ''m'' When his attack failed, Ajax didn''t waste any time and jumped backwards to escape the m from the spirit beast. "As expected of the rank 6 spirit beast," Soon, the frown on his face disappeared as he looked at the rushing spirit beast with an excited look on his face. ''I will y with this spirit beast for some time and then use my abyssal beastgod bloodline,'' Ajax also rushed at the raging steel bear without any fear and started fighting it without worrying about anything. ¡­.. In the Hammergust family''s meeting hall, "Damn you, Holor. Yourplete information was wrong," A masked figure of around 3 meters height scolded the family head Holor with an enraged voice. Holor Hammergust, the current family head of the Hammergust family which excels in refining the weapons. In the meeting hall, other than family head Holor, there was a masked figure sitting on the main chair whereas Holor was respectfully standing with his hands folded. "Devil king, I gave you the correct information. Whenever Edmond goes for ''A'' grade missions, he would only take Udo along with him," The family head Holor''s face waspletely covered with sweat as he continued to exin the masked figure, "Thest time I saw Udo, he only had the cultivation of mid-general realm. Also, I don''t know that he would take that barbarian along with them. Please believe me." By the time, he finished his words, Holor was on his knees begging the masked figure to believe his word. "As long as you give me a good idea to get a corpse of an elite general realm, I will let you and your family live; otherwise, I will kill you and use your corpse for my use," The masked figure remained silent for some time and replied to Holor. Actually, the abyssal devil king helped Holor''s family so much in the past that they were able to be the great family; however, because of the constant hunting by the royal family and other sects, the abyss devil king''s power decreased as he lost many good servants and soldiers. Currently, he was preparing something and he needed a good elite general realm dead body who had good battle prowess when he was alive. So, he came to ask for help from Holor. There was currently only one known elite general cultivator without any power backing him. So, Holor came up with a n and along with the abyssal devil king, he nned a trap for Edmond. However, who would have thought Udo would be an elite general realm cultivator and what''s more there was another elite general realm barbarian whose battle powers were matching with a level 6 abyss devil. "Do you even have an idea of how many soldiers I lost? If not for the fight with your previous king, I would have killed all three of them with a simple snap," Seeing that Holor remained silent, the abyssal devil king became furious as he said to him. "Devil king, since you said that Udo has be an elite general realm, then why don''t we n something to trap him?" Since Edmond was mysterious and alwayses out on any kind of dangerous mission, Holor thought of trapping Udo. "But I heard Udo and Edmond always stay together. How do you n to do it? Not to mention, they must have sensed that your family is now suspicious for trapping him in the cursed abyss," The devil king scoffed at him for such a silly n. "Devil king, I think it''s time to coborate with other families to kill Edmond. Also, there is bad blood between him and the fire sword sect. If you agree, I will ask the fire sword sect to help us," The family Holor thought for a moment and continued saying, "Also, the six vagrant cultivators are currently busy with the special training of their personal disciples. So, before theye back, we can directly kill him. You get his corpse and their feud with him woulde to an end." Even though Holor''s words seemed good, the devil king felt there were many risks in it and various unknown factors that might affect their n. Nevertheless, in the end, he made some changes to the n together with Holor and epted the n. Chapter 710: All Special Rewards At Once

Chapter 710: All Special Rewards At Once

On the fourth hall of the battle tower, "Huf...huf" "You are tough," Ajax looked at the armoured minotaur in front of him while gasping for breath. That''s right! He cleared the nine halls on the fourth level and each hall was guarded by an early rank 6 spirit beast from the earlier halls of lower levels. This is his final hall on the fourth level and the spirit beast''s strength was the same as the earlier halls. However, there were two factors that were affecting his battle prowess. One, he was too tired from all the battles; however, he felt excited because this was his first time battling like this without the help of anyone. Two, the armoured minotaur''s defence was so high that it made it impossible for him to prate his spear into the body of the spirit beast. "Thud" Nevertheless, he made some minor injuries on the spirit beast that made it even angrier. "So, you want to die sooner? Ok then...I will fulfil your wish," Ajax revealed a grin on his face as he silently muttered, ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' As soon as he said those words, his bloodline activated and along with that, his earlier tiredness disappeared. At the same time, he felt his body bing stronger slowly and steadily. "Time to end this," Ajax didn''t even bother to move from his ce and waited for the rank 6 armoured minotaur toe near him. ''Absolute darkness'' The armoured minotaur paused just for a moment when Ajax used the skill and he used that one moment to use his spear technique ''Might puncturing thrust'' into its mouth. ''Puchi'' Until now, Ajax tried doing the same thing; however, the armoured minotaur was clever enough to know that its weakest spot was its mouth. So, it continuously guarded its weakest spot. However, the ''absolute darkness'' which received a little boost from the abyssal beast god bloodline along with the two times of his original power made it easy for him to kill the armoured minotaur. ''Puchii'' The spirit beast sted into pieces before disappearing into nothingness. "Congrattions to the participants for clearing the fourth level. A reward is? on its way and there is no special reward." Just as Ajax deactivated his bloodline and sat down to take a small break, the female voice announced the result. However, what made him raise his brows was the special reward. ''No special reward for the fourth level too,'' Ajax sighed as he thought about Levi because he was the only strongest cultivator toplete the fourth level. As for why he believes Levi''s battle prowess was high because he never saw his batting style. Moreover, he came from a province with a rich essence of naturepared to Zrochester province. "The participant can take some rest before proceeding to thest level of the battle tower," While he was taking some rest, the female voice gave him some time to rest and Ajax started adjusting his breath and entered into deep meditation to assimte everything he had gained so far from the battle tower. As for the reward, he didn''t even bother to open it because he was almost sure that there will be only spirit stones into it. ¡­. "Damn it¡­.I give up," "Huf...huf...is it even possible to clear this hall?" "I need to kill this spirit beast and clear at least one hall on the fourth level," The personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators started dying one after another just from the eighth and ninth halls of the third level. Only a few were able to enter the fourth level with much difficulty. Among the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, except for level how was able to clear one hall after another on the fourth level, all the other personal disciples were having difficulties in even reaching the fourth level. In the end, Levi, Silver Goliath, Fearless Gori, King killer and Dark me were able to enter the fourth level; however, they were soon killed in the beginning levels on the fourth level except for Levi. ''Finally, I was able to break through to level 3 elite general realm under the pressure of the armoured three coloured python,'' In hisst hall, Levi finally had a breakthrough that instantly healed all his injuries and increased the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. With the help of his breakthrough, Levi was easily able to kill the three coloured python before taking the break just like Ajax. ¡­.. "Esmund, Ajax will find out about the special reward. I think it''s better not to fool him," Outside the battle tower, the guild master, who nced at Ajax on the mirror screen and said to Esmund. "Yes, Esmund. Just think about it. We are investing so much already and if he finds out that you fooled him just for a little special reward, it might not be good for any of us," Soon, Elder Sandra also supported the guild master''s words. Just after she finished her words, the other three vagrant cultivators also nodded their heads. "Sigh" After hearing their words, Elder Esmund felt there was some truth to their words and sighed before saying, "Okay...wait." As soon as he said that, he took out the same talisman from earlier out of thin air and said some words into it. "Done," Elder Esmund revealed a bitter smile on his face as he said to his fellow cultivators. The guild master and others nodded their heads with a slight smile and consoled Elder Esmund because they knew that he was spending too much on this special training program. As for Ajax killing the rank 6 spirit beasts with just cultivation of level 9 elitemander realm didn''t shock them much before they were used to it. And all the credit went to the powerful cultivator in Ajax''s dream. ¡­.. Inside the battle tower, On the fourth level, "There was a small error in my functioning earlier," "The special reward for second, third and four levels are sent to the participant," "Because of this inconvenience, there is another special reward added to the list. Thank you," While Ajax was circting the level 3 heaven and earth refining technique to increase his essence of nature with the help of the spirit stones, he heard the female voice announce one thing after another in the hall. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard those words; however, he felt like he misheard because his focus was not on the female voice''s announcements. However, when he saw four huge gift boxes in the centre of the hall, Ajax was excited as he hurriedly ran to those rewards. ''Elder Esmund is really generous,'' Ajax totally forgot that the same Elder Esmund gave the normal reward for clearing a level in the battle tower and started praising him for all the special rewards he gained. ''Let''s see what are the good items waiting for me inside these boxes,'' Ajax already knew that the special rewards from the battle tower were good. So, he was really excited to check all the rewards. ''Th...this is¡­.'' Ajax was shocked by the item he found in the first box before bing excited even morepared to before. Chapter 711: High-level upgrade stone, Warrior puppet

Chapter 711: High-level upgrade stone, Warrior puppet

Ajax was soo excited after seeing the item from the first box. ''I am one step closer to breaking all the seals in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness,'' Ajax revealed a huge smile on his face as he thought, ''I wonder where did Elder Esmund get such a stone. Moreover, he even gave it as a reward.'' That''s right! The reward from the first reward box was a high-level upgrade stone that can upgrade any artifact from heaven grade to legend grade. However, that chance of failing is too much. Unless, if someone has a high-level sess stone, they would not bother using the high-level upgrade stone. ''As for the high-level sess stone, I will depend on the system and as long as Iplete the missions, I might get it,'' Unlike Elder Esmund how searched for the high-level sess stone for his entire life but still didn''t find it, Ajax had some hope from the system because as long as his cultivation progress, the rewards he got from the system also increase. ''Until then, I will just upgrade the seal breakingpass to peak heaven grade and break another seal from his spirit consciousness,'' Ajax kept the high-level upgrade stone in his inventory as he continued thinking, ''And the moment I find the high-level sess stone, I can remove all the seals in his spirit consciousness in one go.'' Ajax was really excited when he thought about it because if he had sessfully brought Darbaudr to his peak strength, he could directly go to war with the assassin sect. ''Anyway, Let''s see what are the rewards from the next box,'' Ajax was sure that there would be no high-level sess stone in the other boxes because if Elder Esmund had that stone, he would have already upgraded this battle tower to the legend grade. However, for the next two reward boxes, he was disappointed with the rewards because they were one peak earth grade sword and one low heaven grade spear. Since he already had the peak heaven grade sword and spear, he didn''t find them attractive. ''Looks like these rewards must be from second and third level respectively,'' After seeing the rewards, he assumed that these must be the special rewards for clearing the earlier levels and the high-level upgrade stone must be the special reward for clearing the fourth level earlier than others. ''So, this must be a special reward for the bug,'' Ajax was excited as he looked at thest reward box which was much bigger than other reward boxes. Without wasting any time, he opened the reward box. ''A puppet?'' However, after opening it, Ajax frowned at the item. Inside the box, a puppet made up of unknown material was lying with its body folded. ''Ding, Item name:- Warrior puppet Grade:- Low Heaven Details:- A puppet that could help the master in fighting the enemies. Strength:- (Level 1-8) Elite general realm. Note:- 1) Depending on the supply of the spirit stones, the strength of the warrior puppets varies from level 1 to level 8 elite general realm. 2) The puppet can''t use any skills except for a couple of cultivation techniques inscribed on it already. Just as he picked the puppet to check the details, the system had already sent theplete details of the puppet. ''Cool'' After checking the information on the puppet, Ajax felt it was good. ''Now, I have another high-level elite general realm warrior to help me,'' For his revenge, the more powerful allies and things were needed and with a smile, he thought to give it some spirit stones to test it. "The participant should not use the warrior puppet in the battle tower," Before he could use some spirit stones on the warrior puppet, the female voice asked him not to use the warrior puppet inside the battle tower. The battle tower is an artifact that is used to increase the battle prowess of an individual. So, there is a rule not to use any external items except for weapons inside the battle tower. "Okay," Ajax shrugged after hearing the female voice and stored the warrior puppet inside his inventory before started climbing the stairs to the final level of the battle tower. ''No wonder, Elder Esmund is called as a forger of the essences,'' While climbing the stairs, Ajax thought about all the rewards he got today. Except for the first special reward, all the other rewards were specially forged by Elder Esmund himself. Elder Esmund was a high-level weapon refiner and an artificer who could refine peak heaven grade weapons and artifacts; however, his sess rate for refining the peak heaven grade items was very low. So, there were not many items he refined. As for the low heaven grade items, there were many in his collection; however, he didn''t sell a single one of them in the Zrochester province because no matter where he sold it would finally end up in the hands of top sects which he didn''t want. Nevertheless, he was nevercking in funds and continuously refined to increase his sess rate and skill in those two professions. "I wonder what is waiting for me in thest level of the battle tower," Ajax was only a couple of steps away from entering the first hall on thest level of the battle tower. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he saw the guardian in the first hall before revealing a slight smile on his face. ... A few minutes back, Outside the battle tower, "Esmund, you gave away the high-level upgrade stone just like that?" "Have you gone mad or what?" "If you didn''t want that, I would have dly taken it for you," When Ajax opened the first reward box and got the high-level upgrade stone, it raised amotion among the vagrant cultivators. Because they all know how valuable a high-level upgrade stone and with how much difficulty that Elder Esmund had gotten his hands on it. So, when they saw that he ced it in a special reward box, they were all shocked and Elder Ramon even asked that he would have exchanged it for something else. "Without a high-level sess stone, it is just another waste stone in my storage. Moreover, since Ajax? had a powerful master, he might help him with the high-level sess stone," Elder Esmund had given his reason for giving away the high-level upgrade stone with a smile on his face. "Yeah" When they heard his words, they nodded their heads but still, they thought Elder Esmund was very generous to casually give away such a valuable item and not to mention, the heaven grade spear technique from earlier. Overall, it made Elder Esmund a very generous person. "Peak earth grade sword and Low heaven grade spear¡­They are good but they were not useful to him," The next items didn''t raise muchmotion until they saw the warrior puppet. "..." They were speechless because they didn''t know what to say. The warrior puppet was one of the greatest creations of Elder Esmund. So, they were once again surprised by its generosity. Nevertheless, they suppressed their emotions and waited for Ajax to enter to see what is on thest level of the battle tower. ''Th..this is¡­,'' Just like Ajax, they were also shocked after seeing what guardian in the first hall before revealing a slight smile on their faces. Chapter 712: Medium fire refining technique

Chapter 712: Medium fire refining technique

In the battle tower,?Ajax''s opponent was none other than Elder Ramon. To be exact, it is a hologram of Elder Ramon. "Is this why you asked us to leave our sprint imprints on our battle tower?" After seeing his own hologram on the mirror screen, Elder Ramon revealed a slight smile on his face and asked Elder Esmund. "Yes..the fight floor has six halls and each hall is guarded by one of our holograms," Elder Esmund revealed a proud look on his face as he nodded his head. ''Interesting'' Everyone thought it was interesting and waited for their holograms to appear in the next halls. As for Elder Ramon, he wanted to see how powerful his hologram would be. ¡­ Inside the battle tower, ''Elder Ramon?'' Ajax looked at his opponent and felt excited because he wanted to see how powerful a vagrant cultivator was and what type of skills and techniques they would use. ''Even though this hologram will be not as powerful as the real Elder Ramon, it is good for my practice,'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly activated his bloodline and summoned his bloodlust spear and rushed towards Elder Ramon''s hologram. ''I will wait for the right time and turn this bloodlust spear in Heaven''s destroyer to destroy the hologram,'' Until now, he didn''t use the other form of the bloodlust spear; however, he didn''t n to hide it forever, as long as the right timees, he thought to use it. ''Haha...'' When Elder Ramon''s projection inside the battle tower saw that Ajax was rushing at him with full speed, he startedughing like a maniac before saying, ''Bind''. As soon as he said that many green coloured vines started growing out of the ground and stopped Ajax. ''What the hell...they were soo fast,'' Ajax was shocked at the speed those vines wereing out and wrapping around his body. ''If you use vines, I will use their favourite thing,'' However, soon his shocked expression was reced with a smirk as he slowly muttered in a low voice, ''Medium fire refining control technique.'' For the first time, he was using this fire refining control technique in the fight. Actually, after upgrading his other cultivation techniques to level 3, he allowed his spirit consciousness to fill with the essence of nature on its own and after he waspletely filled, he used 10000 units to upgrade the basic refining fire control technique to medium fire refining control technique. ''Ding, Technique name:- Medium fire refining technique. Effects:- 1) 50 percent increase the sess rate while refining the pill of rank 4 and below rank 4. 2) A very very small chance to have a special effect on the refined pills. 3) When used in the battle, the firepower of the technique will be doubled. Description:- A technique developed by the system after carefully studying the basic fire refinement technique. These were the upgrade effects of the fire refining technique and as soon as he noticed that the vines were too strong to be destroyed by the brute force, he used the fire refining technique. ''Swoosh'' All the green vines were turned into charred vines before turning into ashes. "I am going to win this round," As soon as he destroyed the vines, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he rushed towards Elder Ramon with his bloodlust spear and even reached him. However, just when his bloodlust spear was about to pierce through him, he noticed a smirk on Elder Ramon''s projection. At the same time, Ajax''s grip over the bloodlust spear loosened as he fell to the ground. ''Those vines are not normal vines. They were filled with poison and the poison will be released only when they were either burned or destroyed,'' ''Aargh argh'' Looking at Ajax, who was rolling on the ground while letting out groans from time to time, Elder Ramon''s projection exined as he picked up the blood-red spear. "Nice spear," He praised the spear and continued saying, ''Time to end.'' With that thought in his mind, he nced at Ajax and decided to kill him. ¡­.. Outside the battle tower, "Damn you Esmund, why do I look like an evil cultivator?" Elder Ramon was dissatisfied with his projection inside the battle tower and cursed Elder Esmund, the creator of the battle tower. As for Elder Esmund, he just shrugged his hands and didn''t give any reply. The other vagrant cultivators and personal disciples who were kicked out of the battle tower were looking at the mirror screen. ... Inside the battle tower, Ajax tried to endure the pain and all of a sudden, the pain started disappearing. At the same time, he heard a voice in his head, ''Master, I absorbed all the poison in your body and your surroundings. You don''t need to worry about it.'' The voice belonged to Bane, the poison elemental spirit. ''Phew'' Only after hearing Bane''s voice, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief; however, he didn''t have any time to waste because Elder Ramon would kill if he wasted any more time. ''Necros,e out,'' He didn''t hesitate to summon his most powerful elemental spirit, Necros. Other than being powerful, there was another reason why he summoned it because everyone knows about Necros. So, he summoned Necros to stop Elder Ramon. ''ng'' As soon as Necros were summoned, he summoned the undead soldiers before merging them into one. The huge undead soldier stopped the bloodlust spear and using this time, Ajax distanced himself from Elder Ramon. "You are just making things difficult for yourself," Elder Ramon''s projection coldly smiled as he threw the bloodlust spear at Ajax before focusing on the huge undead warrior. Seeing the actions of his projection, Elder Ramon bitterly shook his head and asked, "Esmund, what is the strength of my projection?" From the mirror screen, he was unable to guess the strength of his projection. So, he asked Esmund while others also looked at Esmund for an answer. "Except for thest hall guardian, the first five hall guardians will have the cultivation of level 1 elite general realm," Esmund answered Ramon''s question as he continued, "However, your projection will have your 50 percent battle experience along with your all battle techniques and skills." "It''s impossible for Ajax to clear even a single hall. As for Levi, he mightplete a couple of halls if he was in a peak condition; however, in his current condition, even if he defeats a single guardian, it would be a great achievement," Hearing Elder Esmund''s answer, the guild master said his thoughts about Ajax and Levi before focusing on Ajax and his elemental spirit. "Okay then¡­.I am bored ying with you for so long. It''s time to end you," Inside the battle tower, Elder Ramon''s projection looked angry as it summoned, ''Phanton eagles,e out and show your power.'' As soon as he said that, hundreds of illusionary eagles appeared out of nowhere and each one of them looked like a real spirit beast. They didn''t waste any time as they split into three groups and rushed at Ajax, Necros and the giant undead warrior. ''Th...these are...'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the information of the iing phantom eagles at him. Chapter 713: Phantom Eagles

Chapter 713: Phantom Eagles

''Is that for real?'' Ajax was shocked by the system notifications in front of him and rubbed his eyes and checked once again. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Phantom Eagles Strength:- Rank 4, Rank 5. Skills:- Phantom rush, Eagle storm, Phantom w¡­and soon. Information:- Phantom eagles can only live in flocks. Each flock has exactly 1000 phantom eagles. They can even kill a mid-rank 6 spirit beast or level 5 elite general realm cultivators while staying in the flock. The information that appeared in front of him was about theplete flock of phantom eagles and the thing that shocked him the most was the information. He thought that the 1000 phantom eagles were just some kind of secret cultivation technique; however, he didn''t expect that they were the spirit beasts that lived in flocks of the 1000s. ''If the projection was able to summon that many phantom eagles, then it means that Elder Ramon must have 1000 phantom eagles. No wonder, he was called as Eternal nurturer,'' Finally, Ajax recalled the title given to Elder Ramon and nodded his head. Eternal nurturer, as the name suggests, he could nurture anything. Be it a nt or spirit beast. As long as it is rare and useful for him, Elder Ramon would work on it for years to nurture it. ''It''s getting interesting,'' Nevertheless, Ajax felt excited as he muttered, ''Spatial des'' He only used 2500 units of the essence of nature as he felt it would be enough to kill them; however, he was wrong and not a single spatial de was able to injure them, not to mention killing them. ''Holy heavens'' ''How can my spatial des be unable to injure them?'' Ajax waspletely shocked by the earlier scene and hurriedly dodged their iing phantom rush. ''Looks like there is some kind of barrier around them,'' Ajax was able to notice a thin barrier around them when he dodged their attack by an inch and started thinking of a method to clear the round. ''Why should I kill them? Instead, I can just kill their master, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax changed his thoughts from the phantom eagles to Elder Ramon''s projection. On the projection''s face, he was able to notice a little tired look which gave Ajax a small hope in clearing the hall. He guessed that controlling 1000 phantom eagles is not a small thing and Elder Ramon was also maintaining an imaginary barrier around the three batches of the phantom eagles. ''That''s it,'' Finally, he decided what to do and started working on it. As long as he could kill the master, the contract spirit beasts would be killed along with them. So, he clenched the bloodlust spear in his hands and summoned his shadow clone. ''You look after those phantom eagles,'' After ordering his shadow clone, Ajax rushed towards Elder Ramon with the bloodlust spear in his hands. ''Heaven''s destroyer spear...activate,'' When he was within a special range, he directly transformed the bloodlust spear into the heaven''s destroyer spear, whose destructive power isparable to a legend grade weapon. ''Swoosh'' The white shining spear pierced through the wind as it reached Elder Ramon within a few seconds. "Got you," ''Puchi'' However, unexpected to Ajax''s exceptions, just when the spear was about to pierce through Elder Ramon, he disappeared and appeared behind Ajax and stabbed with a long green coloured sword. "Don''t get fooled by your enemies when they show you a slight weakness," Elder Ramon revealed a cunning smile as continued to say, "Better luck next time in killing me, Kid." ''Puchi'' While saying that he removed his sword and disappeared from his ce before appearing at his earlier ce. ''Thud'' Ajax fell to the ground with a thud as he looked at Elder Ramon with a surprised look on his face. ''Master,'' Necros hurriedly rushed towards Ajax; however, he was stopped by the flock of phantom eagles. ''You are not bad, kid. You just need to enter the general realm and I would have had a difficult time to deal with you¡­..,'' ''Puchi'' Elder Ramon nodded his head at Ajax''s battle prowess; however, a shining spear came out of his abdomen before hovering about Ajax''s body. ''I guess, I don''t need to wait till next time to kill you,'' Ajax revealed a slight smile before summoning back Necros. Soon, Ajax''s body started disappearing from the battle tower and appeared outside the battle tower. On his face, there was a visibly tired look on his face. "Ajax, you are too powerful," The moment Ajax appeared, all the personal disciples said the same thing repeatedly making him even more tired. "Everyone, stop bothering him; instead, go and think what mistakes you have made and what you have learned from the battle tower," While Ajax was surrounded by the young cultivators, the guild master''s low yet loud voice resounded in that area making all the young cultivators silent. "Yes, guild master," All of them nodded their heads and they were embarrassed by their earlier actions and quietly started walking towards the small caves in the distances. The guild master didn''t ask anything about Ajax''s various skills, techniques and weapons and at the same time, he warned others not to ask him any questions fearing that it might anger the powerful cultivator in Ajax''s dream. In Esmund''s secret realm, these caves are the guest abodes and in those caves, the essence of nature will be pure; however, the purity is notpared with Elder Ramon''s secret realm. "Wait for a second," Just as they took a couple of steps, Elder Esmund asked them to stop. Hearing his words, all the young cultivators stopped and looked at Elder Esmund waiting for him toplete his words. "Take these crystals," While saying that, he threw some blue coloured crystals at the young cultivators and by the time they knew what had happened, a single crystal was lying in their hands. "As long as you crush the crystal, it will help you remember everything that happened in the battle tower. So that, you can easily find your mistakes," After exining the use of the crystal, Elder Esmund turned towards the guild master and all the vagrant cultivators started discussing something. As for the young cultivators, they became excited and hurriedly rushed towards the caves and selected a cave before entering it. Among them, Levi was also present. Just like Ajax, he killed the guardian in his first level; however, at the same time, he also died. So, basically, he became a suicide bomber and killed the guardian in the hall along with his own life. ¡­.. "We clearly underestimated Ajax''s battle prowess," After the young cultivators left, the guild master recalled how Ajax killed Elder Ramon''s projection in the battle tower and said an excited look on his face. "Yes...even though my projection has only level 1 elite general realm strength, it is impossible to kill it," Elder Ramon revealed a bitter look on his face while replying to the guild master. Even though he didn''t receive a slight bacsh after his projection was killed, he was a little depressed. "I think, after the champion''s contest, we need to take Ajax to ''Him''," Finally, the guild master replied with a serious look on his face and all the vagrant cultivators nodded their heads agreeing to his words. Chapter 714: Arcane Spirit Turtle

Chapter 714: Arcane Spirit Turtle

In Obsidian secret realm, Inside one of the caves, ''Ding, Item name:- Memory crystal Effect:- It is a crystal that projects the actions of a cultivator which helps in correcting their mistakes in the fights. As soon as he selected the cave and entered it, he checked the information on the crystal. As for the cave, it was filled with shining crystals which lit up the entire cave. ''Nice item,'' ''Kacha'' Ajax nodded his head and without wasting any time, he directly crushed the memory crystal. Soon, his projection of earlier battles appeared in front of him and carefully observed and started correcting himself. .... Unknowingly, the time sped up and within a sh, five hours passed by. Within these five hours, Ajax and other young cultivators were able to find many mistakes in their fighting style and corrected themselves. ''Huh?'' Just as Ajaxpleted correcting his mistakes from the earlier battles, he felt some energy fluctuations from his inner world. ''I think, spirit turtle is the first one to wake from its slumber,'' The confusion was for only a moment before it turned into a slight smile. Without wasting any time, he directly entered his inner world; however, he was shocked by what he had seen in the inner world. ''Holy heavens,'' Ajax eximed at the huge green turtle which was around 10 meters in height. That''s right! 10 meters in height. When the green spirit turtle was born, it was only the size of a small fist; however, currently, it is around 10 meters in height. ''Crr'' Seeing Ajax, the huge turtle gave an excited shout without moving from its ce. "You were born only a week ago and you are already this big. I wonder, how big you will be in the? future," Ajax walked towards it and patted its head while looking at the information on the huge turtle. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Arcane spirit turtle Strength:- Rank 4 Note:- Arcane spirit turtles have zero battle prowess. They only survive on their defence. Skills:- Universal essence purification (Passive), Ultimate defence (Passive), Ultimate arcane refiner (Active). Description:- A rare spirit beast even in the greater worlds. Rating:- It is also called a lucky beast for the cultivator. ''Woah... its name changed,'' Ajax was not in a hurry as he checked one section after another and the name of the turtle itself made him surprised. Initially when it hatched, its name was green spirit turtle; however, it is now called as Arcane spirit turtle which is a rare beast. ''No attack only defence?'' When he saw the strength, he was shocked because just with the help of the special spirit beast food, its strength had increased from rank 1 to rank 4; however, what shocked him was the note and it made him a little disappointed. However, after checking out the arcane spirit turtle''s skills, all the disappointment vanished from his face. ''Ding, Skill name:- Universal essence purification (Passive) Effect:- With the help of this skill, the Arcane spirit turtle can increase the purity of the essence of nature a little. Note:- Effect increase with the increase in its cultivation. ''Ding, Skill name:- Ultimate defence (Passive) Effect:- As long as the spirit turtle goes into its shell, no cultivator below the king realm could harm it. Special effect:- Guardian protection Guardian protection:- When the turtle was attacked for the first time in the day, a huge barrier forms around it which help in protecting its friends. Cooldown:- 24 hours ''Not only it increase the purity of the essence of nature but it has a perfect defence skill with a special effect,'' Ajax was excited because he got another trump card that could save his life. ''Next,'' Soon, he continued to check thest skill of the arcane spirit turtle. ''Ding, Skill name:- Ultimate arcane refiner Effect:- Can refine anything present in nature into a cultivation resource or other orbs depending on the refining item. Note:- This skill can only be used three times a day. Description:- The top portion of the arcane spirit turtle''s shell is used as a furnace to refine the items. ''What?'' When he first saw the name of the skill, Ajax thought it would help refine alchemy pills; however, after reading the full information on the skill, Ajax was shocked. Because it said that the arcane spirit turtle could refine anything. At the same time, he noticed that the top portion of the turtle shell looked like a furnace and understood what it used for. ''Let''s test the skill,'' He suppressed his shock and thought to use the refining skill of the turtle; however, it took him some time to decide what to throw into the furnace. ''That''s right! I can use those fruits,'' Finally, he decided on the small ability fruits on the tree which he nted in his inner world at the start of his cultivation. Compared to before, the leaves on the tree became a little dark green and there were three fruits hanging on it. Since he can''t use the ability fruits on himself or can''t give them to others because almost everyone he knew had eaten these fruits. So, he thought of refining one of those fruits to see what will be the end product. ''I hope I can get something useful,'' Even after the exnation given by the system, it didn''t provideplete information on the skill. So, he was quite excited for the refining process as he waited after throwing the ability fruits into the furnace. ''Gaad gad'' Soon there were sounds as though some grinding process was happening inside the furnace shell. ¡­... In the Hammergurst family, "Your majesty, I got the reply from all the great families except for the Covenheart family. Everyone agreed for the meeting for further discussions," Holor, the head of the Hammergust family respectfully said to the abscess devil king who seemed to be in meditation. "Did you give them my involvement in our n?" The abyss devil king opened his eyes and asked Holor with a nonchnt expression. "Yes, your majesty. I said about you too," Holor didn''t dare to dy in replying as he hurriedly nodded his head. "Good" Abyss devil king nodded his head and continued, "Except for the Covenheart family, distribute the high-level cultivation resources to the other great families." "Yes, your majesty," Holor nodded his head as he noted down everything the abyss devil king was saying to him. "We should not miss killing Edmond and Udo this time. I want both their bodies," The abyss devil king temporarily decided to stay in the Hammergurst family and after finishing his words, he closed his word and continued to meditate. The great families were already dissatisfied with the six vagrant cultivators because they became too powerful without any support and they didn''t want Edmond and Udo to be just like them. So, when they received a n to kill Edmond and Udo, they looked interested and decided to discuss more on the n and if they find the n is possible, then they would join Holor and the abyss devil king. As for why they didn''t show any reaction when they heard that even the abyss devil king was interested because they know how the Hammergust family became a great family within a short span of time. Chapter 715: Ability Strengthening pill

Chapter 715: Ability Strengthening pill

In the inner world, ''Boom'' A small explosive sound resounded in the inner world and at the same time, something was sted out of the furnace shell of the arcane spirit turtle. ''Come'' As Ajax was the sole ruler of his inner world, with a simple wave of his hand, the item that was sted out of the furnace came into his hands. ''A pill?'' Ajax looked at the green coloured pill in his hand and without wasting any time, he directly used the system to know about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Ability strengthening pill Effect:- It can increase the powers of the abilities gained by eating the small ability pills. Note:- One can consume only one pill to see the effects of the pill. ''Woah'' As soon as he checked the information on the pill, he directly tossed the pill into his mouth. Because he could not wait to strengthen his spatial des skill which seemed to be a little less powerfulpared to his other skills. ''Huh?'' However, even after a few moments, there were no reactions in his body or no system notifications which made him frown a little. Nevertheless, he had confidence that the system'' information would never be wrong. ''Ding, Consumed an ability strengthening pill. ''Ding, The host''s ''spatial des'' is currently mutating. Please wait. Soon, he got the system notifications asking him to wait. ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and started thinking about which items should he refine next. Since there was no pain or anything after consuming the pill, he was able to think normally and even moved here and there to search for something to refine. However, he was unable to find some suitable things to refine. ''Let it be. I will use it when I found some good things,'' In the end, Ajax shook his head and decided to wait until he found something to refine and waited for his skill to be mutated. Even though he could use spirit stones, alchemy ingredients for refining in the furnace shell, he felt it was just a waste of time and would not get good items. Because only three times the arcane spirit turtle could use that skill in a day. ''Roar'' While he was waiting for the mutation of his ''spatial des'', Ajax heard an excited roar from the distance. ''Looks like little fuzzball must havepleted the re-cultivation process,'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax walked towards the senior fuzzball, who looked greatly excited when he saw his son''s new form. In the father golden bear king, there was a 6-year-old kid with short brown hair. His face looked a little tanned. "Father, I can speak the human tongue," By the time Ajax reached there, he heard little fuzzball''s immature voice. "Yes...yes. The most important thing is you have unlocked your potential. As long as you cultivate properly, you can reach the king realm easily," The senior fuzzball suppressed his excitement and replied to his son through the voice transmission. Even though the golden bear king became a rank 5 spirit beast, unlike snow lions, it was still unable to speak in the human tongue. So, he could only use the voice transmission. "Congrattions, Little Fuzzball," Ajax congratted the 6-year-old kid; however, he felt that name was not suitable for him anymore. "Thank you, master," He respectfully replied to Ajax within a second. "Since you are now a human, I will name you as Zan," Ajax nodded his head and named him with a new name. "Okay, master," There was no disagreement from both father and son pair with the name as they nodded their heads. "So, what is the artifact you awakened after your re-cultivation process," After giving a new name to the little fuzzball, Ajax asked a question with a curious look on his face. Whenever a spirit beast is re-cultivated into a human or humanoid form, they would awaken an artifact or a weapon that would help them in their battles or daily life. Snow was able to awaken a white gown that could defend many attacks and absorb the lightning energy to help the re-cultivated spirit beast in their cultivation. "Hehe" When he heard that, Zan revealed a mischievous smile as he replied, "I awakened a golden armour." As soon as he finished his words, a shining golden coloured armour with roaring bear design on the front appeared on Zan''s body. ''What?'' Senior Fuzzball was shocked when he saw the shining golden armour as his blood became excited for some reason. Actually, he didn''t know much about the re-cultivation process and didn''t have a single clue about the awakened artifacts or weapons. So, of course, he would be shocked. Moreover, the golden armour looked majestic which is only worn by Kings. "You will also get an awakened item after you re-cultivate," Ajax replied with a slight smile as he checked the information on the re-cultivated golden bear. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Golden bear king (Re-cultivated) Name:- Zan Awakened item:- Golden bear king''s armour (Heaven grade). Skill:- Golden bear rush, Earthquake, Mighty bear sh. Special skill:- Golden bear king'' rage There were only a few skills for Zan; however, after thinking that he is still a little kid, Ajax nodded his head and checked each and every skill which made him feel satisfied. ''Looks like his potential is just like Snow. She also awakened a heaven grade item after re-cultivation,'' However, what gave him a surprise was the grade of the awakened item. All the awakened items are evolvable with the increase in the strength of the spirit beast. But, if the awakened item''s grade is high from the start, then it has great potential. "Okay then. it and Zan will guard you while you are re-cultivating. I am waiting to see you awakened item," After talking a few more words with it and golden bears, Ajax left that ce because he felt that his skill''s mutation is finallying to an end. As for the father golden bear king, he could not wait to re-cultivate and without wasting any time, he directly received the information about the re-cultivation technique from his son and sat down before starting the re-cultivation process. ''Ding, The skill ''Spatial des'' is sessfully strengthened and changed into ''Paralysis Spatial des''. ''Ding, Ability name:- Paralysis Spatial des Effect:- Same effects as the spatial de along with an added effect of paralysis. More information:- As long as the des were able to sh the enemy even a little, they will be paralysed and depending on their strength, the paralysis effect willst. "Woah...Sigh" When Ajax saw the system notifications, he was excited; however, when he saw the new effect, he was disappointed because he expected something good from the mutation of the skill. ''Let it be...the paralysis effect is also good,'' What can he do other than epting the new effect of his skill? Next, he looked at Cerauno and other elemental spirits who were busy condensing the spirit essence for the sake of the Tree of blessing. He didn''t disturb them and silently left his inner world after taking a look at the arcane spirit turtle. ''I wonder, where will they take us next,'' After exiting the inner world, he thought in his head and waited for the call from vagrant cultivators. Chapter 716: Radiant Sun, 36 pillars

Chapter 716: Radiant Sun, 36 pirs

"Guild master, where are we going next?" Aftering out of the inner world, Ajax waited for an hour before all the young cultivators were asked to move to the next step of their special training. Within no time, everyone mounted the livid griffin and started travelling. As Ajax was more curious in nature than others, he asked the guild master about their next step in special training. "We are going to the revered protector''s secret realm," The guild master replied to Ajax while guiding his contracted spirit beast. "Since your cultivation and battle prowess has increased a little, we will be focusing on another important thing for a cultivator and it is increasing your body strength," Elder Ramon, who likes to talk a lot continued when the guild master and exined to the young cultivators about the next step in their training. ''Waoh'' When they heard Elder Ramon''s words, all the young cultivators except for Ajax became excited. ''My body is already tempered with fire and lightning. How strong can it be with the tempering in that secret realm,'' In the five elemental world, his body was tempered with the lightning from the lightning tribtion and fire from the rank 6 spirit beast along with fire from theva pool. So, he felt this specific step will not bring him any benefits. Nevertheless, he could not leave because there are still three more secret realms to visit after this one. "I named my secret realm as ''Radiant Sun'' because there was a sun in the realm which shines brightly. However, the most important thing about that sun is, it releases a pure form of fire energy along with some other energy that helps the cultivators to temper their body," Since the guild master and Elder Ramon had said something about the training in his secret realm, he started exining about his secret realm. ''Excellent,'' Elder Seward is known for his strong body which could even stop an attack from normal elite general cultivators without doing anything. So, when they heard his words, they became a little excited because they were finally given a chance to make their bodies as strong as Elder Seward. "Everyone, sit tight. We are about to enter the ''Radiant Sun'' secret realm," All of a sudden, the guild master asked everyone to properly sit and continued, "As soon as you enter the secret realm, you will feel a heatwave. Just endure it for a couple of seconds and it will disappear." Just as he finished his words, the livid griffin jumped into a portal that appeared out of nowhere. ''Aargh'' Just like the guild master said, as soon as they entered the secret realm, everyone felt a heatwave and the young cultivators could not help but groan. Nevertheless, the heatwave disappeared after a couple of seconds which made them heave a sigh of relief. Only after that, they were able to focus on their surroundings. The secret realm was not very hot and not very cool. It was moderate. It waspletely filled with trees of all sizes; however, onemon fact of all the trees is their leaf. Every tree''s leaves were shining with orange light. As for the sky, there were no clouds except for a huge sun which was blinding them whenever they tried to look at it. "So, let me exin more about your training in my secret realm," After the young cultivators adjusted to the new secret realm, Elder Seward started exining, "The current training depends on your willpower and endurance. The more you endure, the greater the benefits will be." No one talked while Elder Seward was exining and carefully listened to his word. As for the livid griffin, he flew towards that brightly shining sun. With each passing minute, all the young cultivators were feeling that they were getting closer to the huge sun. Nevertheless, their full attention was on Elder Seward''s words. "Do you see the pirs over there," Soon, Elder Seward pointed his fingers in the direction the livid griffin was flying and asked the young cultivators. "Yes, master," "Yes, Elder Seward," They nodded their heads as they noticed ck coloured pirs in the distance. "There are 36 pirs with a gap of exactly 100 meters between each pir. We will drop you at the first pir and you need to walk forward. As you walk forward, the heat emitted by the radiant sun will be increased. So, give your best and tempered your bodies as much as possible," By the time, Elder Seward finished his words, the livid griffin reached the first ck pir andnded in front of the first pir. "The training starts now," As soon as the young cultivators climbed down from the spirit beast, the guild master and other vagrant cultivators left in a hurry. "Everyone, let''s start," Paulin was very much excited to temper his body with fire because he is a water elemental summoner. So, if his body is tempered with fire, he could even fight with the powerful fire elemental opponents. Soon, without wasting any more time, everyone started walking towards the second ck pir. Just like them, Ajax casually walked as he didn''t feel the slightest difort. Within no time, everyone reached the fifth pir where they started feeling the burning sensation. ''Even though I can still feel nothing, I should apany them,'' Ajax looked at the young cultivators and maintained the same pace as them. ''Tenth pir,'' Finally, one of the cultivators could not bear the heat and sat down to temper his body. ''Looks like this is Neil''s limit,'' Among all the young cultivators, only Ajax and Neil were below the general realm. However, everyone knew about Ajax''s battle prowess. So, it leaves only Neil. So, he stopped at the tenth pir and started using the heat energy radiated from the radiant sun to temper his body. Actually, this training''s essence was to find the suitable heat energy which should be not too strong or too weak to temper their body. While Neil started tempering his body, others started feeling scorching heat; however, that was not their limit. ''I can do it,'' ''I should at least reach half of the pirs,'' Almost all the young cultivators'' target was to reach the 18th pir. So, enduring the pain, they started moving forward. "Senior brothers and sisters, when you are tempering your body, use the cultivation technique given to us by our master," Just as they started moving, Neil opened his eyes and gave a suggestion to the other young cultivators. Hearing those words, all the young cultivators nodded their heads and continued to walk forward. ''With each pir, we cross, our bodies are bing a little tempered on their own,'' Even though there was no effect on his body, he could notice some minute changes in others; however, Ajax didn''t say anything as he continued to move forward. From the 12th pir onwards, one after another started sitting down and started their body tempering because they knew that if they walked any further, their bodies would be charred. ''Senior brother Levi, Dark me, Fearless gori and Silver goliath,'' Other than Ajax, these four reached the 18th pir and without any hesitation, they sat down tempering their bodies. Chapter 717: Old voice speaks again

Chapter 717: Old voice speaks again

Soon, everyone started rotating their main cultivation technique and used the iing heat energy for tempering their body at various pirs. ''Finally, I started to feel some ufortable feeling,'' As for Ajax, he just nced at the four young cultivators at the 18th pir and muttered to himself. ''Looks like I can benefit a little from this and temper my body,'' Until now, Ajax felt there was no use with this body tempering training; however, now he felt that it might be helpful for him. With that thought in his mind, he casually started moving forward without wasting any time as though he was walking in a park. ... Somewhere in the Radiant sun secret realm, "They were better than we expected," "Right. Four of them reached the 18th pir and everyone crossed the 10th pir," "However, isn''t it risky for them to temper at the 18th pir? Even though they were able to endure the pain in the beginning, they would be burnt alive if they stay at the same ce for long hours," One after another vagrant cultivators startedmenting while observing their personal disciples from a distance. "As long as they were tired and unable to endure the scorching pain, they would be automatically teleported to the first pir. So, there is no need to worry," When he heard thestment, Elder Seward helped them understand that there will be no danger except for some small injuries. "It''s good then," The guild master nodded their heads while continuing to observe the young cultivators. Actually, they didn''t know about the cultivation resources prepared by the other vagrant cultivators. The thing is when they reached the peak of their cultivations, they learned many things and finally decided to take some personal disciples and after getting that thought, they started cultivating some cultivation resources. Only for that reason, they took some personal disciples. Not because of Edmond''s suggestion. From that time onwards, they secluded themselves in their own secret realms and started cultivating some cultivation resources depending on their specialty. "Let''s hope their bodies reach grade 5 or at least peak grade 4 is also good," After ncing at all the personal disciples, the guild master said in a low tone. That''s right! Body tempering is a special type of cultivation that is ssified into various grades starting from grade 1 to grade 7, which is also called as King body. As long as a cultivator reaches the general realm, they would gain a grade 2 tempered body without anybody cultivation technique. However, to increase the grade of the tempered body, they need to undergo physical training that could improve the grade. As for Ajax, he had long gained the peak grade 4 tempered body and just an inch away from the reach grade 5. As long as there was sufficient energy, his tempered body would be increased to grade 5. Also, no vagrant cultivator bothered to take a look at Ajax fearing that they would die from the shocks given by Ajax one after another. ¡­. ''Huf huf'' Soon, Ajax reached the 30th pir and finally, he felt the power of the heatwave increased greatly. If there were 10 times the power till the 29th pir, the moment he crossed the 30th pir, Ajax felt the power from the heatwave increase to 100 times. ''I was careless for only a moment and I feel like burning at any instant,'' Ajax didn''t think that the power of the heatwave would drastically increase to such an extent; however, he soon recovered from it and slowly moved forward. ''Damn...the increase in the power of heatwave is so huge between these pirs,'' Only now Ajax understood not to underestimate the resources that could be grown in the secret realm. Nevertheless, enduring the scorching heat, he continued to move forward. ''31¡­.32¡­.33¡­..34'' One pir after another, Ajax continued to move forward and after the 34th pir, his footsteps became heavy. After half an hour he finally reached the 35th pir. Just to move 100 meters, it took him 30 minutes. From this, you can understand how hard it was for him. ''Looks like this is my limit,'' Finally, Ajax decided to sit down beside the 35th pir to temper his body. ''Endure the pain and move forward to the final pir. An unknown benefit is waiting for you,'' Just as he was about to sit down, the old voice in his head which hasn''t spoken to him for a while now asked him to move forward. ''You can tell whatever you want but if you are in my position, you would understand,'' However, Ajax didn''t even think for a second before sitting on the ground to temper his body. ''Don''t temper your body yet. If you temper it, you can''t move forward and your body will be even weaker to proceed further,'' Seeing that Ajax was not following his instructions, the old voice in his head became anxious and hurriedly said to him. ''What are you even talking about? You must be joking. How can I be weaker if I temper my body,'' Even not for that old voice helping him a couple of times in the past, he would have already scolded it. Suppressing his emotions, Ajax replied to the old voice. ''I don''t have time to exin to you everything. If you want to have a strong body, then you reach the 36th pir. Okay then. I will go back to my slumber,'' Soon, the old voice seemed nonchnt and didn''t say anything to him. ''...'' Ajax was speechless for a few moments but thinking a little deeper, Ajax felt like moving towards the 36th pir. However, thinking about the pain from the scorching heat, Ajax unconsciously shivered. ''Huff...I need to do it,'' After thinking about the words of the old voice in his head, Ajax felt that there was more to this special training. So, he decided to move forward. How could his body be weaker if he tempered here? Does that mean, all the young cultivator''s bodies would be weakened after tempering? ''No...why would the vagrant cultivators do that?'' ''Is the old voice trying to fool me?'' All of a sudden, Ajax''s head was filled with any questions that made him a little dizzy; however, these thoughts helped him move forward. ''Only 50 meters more,'' While thinking about those questions, Ajax continued to move forward. ''Aargh'' Soon, small ck scars started appearing on his skin making him groan in pain. ''Damn it...is he thinking of reaching the 36th pir?'' ''Seward, didn''t you say that they would be teleported to the pir when injuries appear on their bodies?'' Even though the vagrant cultivators didn''t want to check Ajax''s progress, they were unable to hold it for much longer and noticed that Ajax was moving towards the 36th pir which gave him a great shock. Also, what made them even more shocked was, even when Ajax''s skin was getting burned, Ajax was not teleported back to pir one making everyone ask Elder Seward. As for Elder Seward, he also had the same look on his face. "Finally¡­.I reached," Atst, Ajax reached the 36th pir as he slumped to the ground. Chapter 718: Radiant Sun Cultivation technique, Radiant Sun Body

Chapter 718: Radiant Sun Cultivation technique, Radiant Sun Body

''Thud'' As soon as he reached the 36th pir, Ajax copsed onto the ground; however, he didn''t close his eyes and waited for the benefit that the old voice in his head said. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden a light beam came out of the 36th pir and entered into Ajax''s body; however, from his position, he could not see that light. Nevertheless, he felt that something had entered into his body. ''Ding, Detected aplete body tempering cultivation technique. Do you want to learn it? With each passing second, Ajax''s consciousness was getting weaker; however, before he couldpletely lose his consciousness, he got a system notification that gave him quite a surprise. ''Yes'' Ajax said in a weak tone and as soon as he agreed he got another system notification which he agreed without thinking much. Currently, for him, the cultivation technique is important. So, he didn''t hesitate to spend the essence of nature. ''Ding, 5000 units of the essence of nature are consumed. ''Ding, Sending all the knowledge rting to the body tempering cultivation technique into the host''s head. When he heard thest system notifications, Ajax felt he would receive another pain; however, to his surprise, there was no pain or whatsoever. ''Ding, Conjugations to the host for sessfully learning the ''Radiant sun cultivation technique''. He didn''t wait for much time before he got the system notification for the cultivation technique. Moreover, he didn''t have the mood to check the information on the cultivation technique as he started following the instructions in his head and circted the cultivation technique. ''It feels like I am in heaven,'' Just after a few moments of circting the cultivation technique, Ajax felt like all his injuries started recovering and the most important thing was he was enjoying the feeling. He didn''t stop rotating the cultivation technique and with each passing second, he was recovering his energy while his tiredness started to disappear. A few minutes back, In the distance, All of the vagrant cultivators were shocked to see Ajax''s actions and no matter how much they wanted not to get shocked, they were unable to suppress their shocks when they saw the light beam enter into Ajax''s body from the 36th pir. "Seward, what is that light ray?" The guild master hurriedly asked thinking something might happen to Ajax. If something happened to Ajax, then they have to face the wrath of a powerful cultivator. So, the guild master was ready to rush towards Ajax. "There is nothing to fear," Elder Seward came out of his daze and started exining, "You all know about my body tempering cultivation technique, right? I got that technique from the 36th pir." ''What?'' ''You got that cultivation technique from the pir?'' ''Actually, where did you get these pirs from?'' Soon, everyone asked various questions regarding the pirs and cultivation technique. "That''s right! Ajax got the same cultivation technique which I got 20 years ago and as for the origin of the pirs was from an inheritancend in this secret realm," Elder Seward slowly exined each and every question with patience. ''What the hell?'' ''You found an inheritancend in your secret realm?'' Elder Ramon was the one who got shocked whenpared to other vagrant cultivators. "Idiot...I already said to you but you are the one who said you will not endure the scorching heat and rejected the invitation," Elder Seward scoffed at Elder Ramon before saying to other vagrant cultivators, "Also when I invited you, you were all busy with your own secret realms andter you did not have time to learn new cultivation techniques." Elder Seward didn''t want others to misunderstand him. So, he tried to remind them about what they were doing at the time. It is difficult for the high-level cultivators who already have more cultivation techniques to learn new cultivation techniques. So, everyone rejected; however, it''s been a long time since then. So, they forgot some details. "Okay...let''s not talk about it," The guild master shook his head and asked, "Ajax''s body is recovering and all the burns on his body are also disappearing." "Also, what about the other disciples? Can''t they learn the cultivation techniques from you?" Since he knew the benefits of the cultivation technique, the guild master asked with a serious look on his face. "It''s impossible to pass the cultivation technique to others. Also, it took me more than a year to grasp something and took me another year to reach the grade 1 body. With each increment in the grade, the time taken to reach the next grade is getting more and more. Finally, after 20 years, I am at grade 6 Radiant sun body," Elder Seward exined how hard the cultivation technique and made other vagrant cultivators bitterly shake their heads. It was not for their sake, they were asking for the sake of their personal disciples. "However, there is no need to worry. The longer they stay in that area and temper their bodies, reaching peak grade 4 and grade 5 is very much possible," In the next second, Elder Seward exined and made them nod their heads. ..... At the various pirs, everyone was tempering their bodies while enduring the pain and from time to time, someone would be unconscious. As soon as they be unconscious, they would be teleported to the first pir. Among all the young cultivators, Ajax was the only one who was enjoying that area. With each cirction of the body tempering cultivation technique, Ajax''s body would be a little stronger with the help of the heatwave at the 36th pir. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking the Radiant sun body. Please check the effects to know more about it. After a couple of hours, Ajax finally received a system notification that made surprise; however, he didn''t stop circting the cultivation technique. ''Radiant sun body?'' It was his first time hearing that type of body; however, he could guess that he was not the first to unlock this type of body. ''Elder Seward must have this special body. No wonder, he body is too strong,'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and slowly stood up while circting the cultivation technique. ''Ding, Special body name:- Radiant sun body (Passive) Strength:- Grade 1 Effect:- 1) Two times strong defencespared to normal bodies of the same grade. Note:- This type of body is not stacked with the effects of a normal body. After standing up, he checked the information on his special body and he was a little surprised by the first effect; however, he felt it was normal to have the effect. Because it looked like the most basic effect of the special body. ''I think, I have no use for this body until? I reach rank 4,'' After reading the note on the holographic screen, Ajax came to that conclusion; however, that didn''t affect him much as he had enough confidence to increase the grade of his special body. ''Moreover, it is still grade 1, if it bes grade 5, then it might bepared to grade 6,'' Ajax was excited as he thought about the grade 5 radiant sun body. Without any further thoughts, he directly sat down and focused on tempering his body with the radiant sun cultivation technique. Chapter 719: Grade 3 special body

Chapter 719: Grade 3 special body

After 12 hours, It''s been more than 12 hours since Ajax learned the radiant sun body tempering cultivation technique. Except for Ajax and the four young cultivators who are at the 18th pir, everyone was teleported back to the first pir. Fearless gori, Silver Goliath, Levi and Paulin are those four young cultivators who were barely maintaining their consciousness and could be teleported back to the first pir anytime. All their bodies were entirely covered in sweat and their breathing was bing heavy. ''I can''t take it any longer,'' Within the next half an hour, all four young cultivators at the 18th pir fell down to the ground and they were instantly teleported back. ''Ding, Radiant sun body upgraded to grade 3. As for Ajax, the vitality in his body was increasing and he was full of it. ''Phew...finally, I reached grade 3,'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and continued to circte the cultivation technique hoping that he would reach grade 4 in another 12 hours. Currently, Ajax didn''t have any ns to move away from the 36th pir because why would he not use such a great opportunity to increase his special body to grade 4. It took him 4 hours to reach grade 2 and another 8 hours to reach grade 3. So, ording to his guess, it might take him 16 hours; however, he wanted to reach grade 4 within 12 hours. ¡­ As usual, the vagrant cultivators were shocked to see Ajax''s speed in increasing the grade of his special body. From Elder Seward, they got to know that as long as one used the radiant sun body tempering cultivation technique in scorching heat, they would gain the radiant sun body. However, what made them shocked was Ajax''s progress. For Elder Seward, it took him 20 years to reach grade 6 for the radiant sun body; however, for Ajax, it took him only 12 hours to reach grade 3 and if things didn''t go wrong reaching grade 6 within a month would be not a problem for him. "I think, he might not even breakthrough to grade 4 for some time," Elder Seward''s face looked bitter as he said to others. "Huh? Why?" Since they didn''t know much about the radiant sun body, the guild master asked Elder Seward. "Look at there," Elder Seward pointed his finger at the huge sum in the distance and continued to say, "The intensity of the heat energy is decreasing and it will take years to create the environment just like earlier." "Oh" Only now they understood how important the heat waves from the radiant sun in increasing the grade of the radiant sun body. ... At the 36th pir, ''System, show me the effects of grade 3 special body,'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he continued to temper his body with the help of heatwaves and the radiant sun cultivation technique. Since it is upgraded to grade 3, Ajax was a little curious to check whether it has any new effects which might help him. ''Ding, Special body name:- Radiant sun body Effects:- 1) two times strongerpared to normal tempered bodies. 2) All minor injuries will be healed within a day. 3) Increase of 0.5 times vitality ''Oh...two new effects,'' Ajax revealed a surprised look and his motivation to increase his special body to grade 4 reached the next level. Even though the two new effects were not very great, they will help him someway. Moreover, when he reached grade 4 or grade 5, they would definitely increase. ''Huh?'' After a couple of minutes, Ajax started to feel some ufortable feeling inside his body. In the next few minutes, the pain started to increase drastically. ''Ding, The system suggests the host stop rotating the radiant sun cultivation technique as the heat waves from the sun have stoppeding. ''What?'' As soon as he heard those words, he was shocked and sensed his surroundings. Just like the system said, there were no heat waves which made Ajax frown. ''Sigh...looks like I need to wait for some more time to upgrade my special body,'' He shook his head and stopped circting the radiant sun cultivation technique. As soon as he did that, the ufortable feeling disappeared making him a little confused. Because when he was subjected to scorching heat, he was barely able to bear the pain; however, by rotating the special cultivation technique, that scorching pain disappeared and gave him a good feeling. But when there was no scorching heat and by rotating the cultivation technique, he was feeling the scorching heat. ''Special cultivation technique,'' He directly opened that cultivation technique to see theplete details of the cultivation technique. ''Ding, Special cultivation technique:- Radiant sun cultivation technique Grade:- Heaven (Auto-upgrade) Auto-upgrade:- The cultivation technique''s grade will be increased when specific conditions are met. Effect:- Helps in unlocking the radiant sun body under specific conditions and at the same time, it will help in upgrading that body. Note:- It is advised to use this cultivation technique in rich heat energy ces'' otherwise, the cultivator could even lose his life. ''Oh. So, it works like that,'' Finally, Ajax understood that he could only use this cultivation in specific ces and if he wanted to use it in ces without fire energies, he might even lose his life. While thinking that he walked back to the first pir andter they were all picked up by the vagrant cultivators. Everyone was too tired to talk. So, everyone stayed silent for the return journey. They were given some rooms in a house and asked to take rest for one day because Elder Seward said that the toll on their bodies would be too huge. .... One dayter, Everyone was in an excited mood as they walked out of their rooms. After one day ofplete rest, they looked powerful and the air around them seemed a little different. There is another change in them. More than 10 personal disciples have progressed in their cultivation by one or two minor realms. "It''s time for you to enter the veiled matriarch''s secret realm," The guild master didn''t praise them or wasted any time as he said that they will be going to the next secret realm. There are only a few more days for the champions contest to start. So, they were in a hurry. Without wasting any time, they started flying out of the Radiant sun secret realm and flew towards the next realm. "In the next step of your training, you will be focusing on actually metal peace," While travelling, the guild master started exining, "Since your cultivation progressed at a fast pace, your cultivation foundation will not be stable. So, for the next 24 hours, you will be doing nothing except for sitting in her secret realm." ''Huh?'' All the young cultivators were confused because how can sitting simply be helpful for them. Nevertheless, they didn''t ask anything and waited for the next step of their special training to see what they will get from the next training. Just like them, Ajax was also excitedly looking forward to the next secret realm and next step of the special training. Chapter 720: Silent Moon

Chapter 720: Silent Moon

In Sandra''s secret realm, Ajax and others entered the next secret realm which is called Silent Moon. Just like its name suggests, there is one bright moon hung up in the sky and the entire secret realm seemed peaceful. "Everyone, wee to my secret realm, Silent Moon," As soon as they entered the secret realm, Sandra turned towards them and weed them with a smile. ''Swoosh'' ''Hop'' ''Hop'' At the same time, a small silhouette came out of Sandra and hopped into the distance. It was none other than Sandra''s contracted spirit beast, the cunning purple-eyed moon rabbit. ''Woah...it''s so peaceful here,'' This was Ajax''s first thought after entering the secret realm. As for his surroundings, there were only a few trees here and there; however, there were many bushes and small ponds along with many Moon rabbits hopping around. Moon rabbits are not rare or notmon spirit beasts and they have negligible attacking power. They are only used as pets because they make the environment around them peaceful. They will onlye out at night when there is a moon; however, there will be a moon in this secret realm for 24 hours. So, they looked more lively and turned their surroundings more peaceful. "So, everyone selects a ce and takes a rest. For the next 24 hours, you should not do anything," The guild master already talked about the special training in this secret realm with Sandra. So, he asked everyone to do nothing for the next 24 hours. "Yes, guild master," Everyone nodded their heads and started selecting a ce to sit. Ajax was also no exception for this and went along with other young cultivators. "After today, there will be?four more days for their training," After all the young cultivators left, the guild master exined his nning for their personal disciples'' training, "There are only two more secret realms to visit after this." "One is Ramon''s secret realm, the eternal garden and my secret realm, the myriad haven," The guild master continued to say, "Tomorrow, let''s take them to Ramon''s essence pool and after that, they will stay in my secret realm for another two days." "So, they will get one day of rest before entering the champion''s contest," After saying that, the guild master looked at the young cultivators with a slight smile on his face. Hearing those words, everyone nodded their heads before Elder Sandra said, "Let''s go and discuss what gifts we should give them after theyplete their training." Since everyone is doing their best in their training and crossing the expectations of the vagrant cultivators, Elder Sandra suggested giving their personal disciples some gifts. ''Right'' Everyone nodded their heads and went into a huge pce made up of white stone in the distance. ... As for the young cultivators, everyone found a ce and sat down without doing anything. ''I don''t know what we will get by doing nothing,'' It was not only Ajax''s thought but everyone thought the same. Nevertheless, they were feeling calmer and calmer with each passing second and finally, after a few minutes, their head became clear and all the concepts in their head became more clear. ''Ding, The host is entering aprehensive state. ''Ding, During this period, the host can select one of his cultivation techniques or skills or weapon daos and think about it. ''Ding, There are high chances of increasing the level of that cultivation technique. Just like others, Ajax also felt the same calmness in his head and heart before the system''s notifications rang in his head. However, he didn''t be angry as he calmly understood his current state. Even when he learned that he was in aprehensive state, there was no surprised, shocked or excited look on his face. ''Which one should I select?'' With a calm look on his face, he started thinking about what he should pick toprehend. ''I will focus on that,'' Since his head was clear of many thoughts, he was able to pick something within a few seconds. Soon, with his eyes closed, he started pondering about it. Just like Ajax, they were able to notice that theirprehension speed was increasing because of the environment, so they selected some of their skills and cultivation techniques to improve. However, it took them an hour to notice theprehensive state, unlike Ajax who had a little help from the system. ...¡­ In the Hammergust family, "Your majesty, everything is set. Among the three sects, the assassin sect agreed to join hands with us to kill Edmond and Udo," The family head Holor informed the abyss devil king with a little bow. "Huh?" However, the abyss devil king revealed a confused look on his devil face and said, "I didn''t expect the assassin sect to join us. I thought the fire sword sect would join us given the bad blood between them and Edmond." "Anyway, how did you manage to pull the assassin sect in our n? Also, what are they asking us in return?" The abyss devil king didn''t give any time for Holor as he asked back to back questions. "You won''t believe but the assassin sect doesn''t want anything from us. They said that they just want Edmond to be dead," While saying that, Holor revealed a happy look because it was too hard to get a behemoth like an assassin sect to join them without anything in return. So, of course, he was happy about that. "Oh" The abyss devil king raised his brows and thought for some time before asking, "Is it because of that kid?" "It seems like that," Holor nodded his head while maintaining the same respectful look on his face. "Why are they after him?" "There is a rumour that it was an order from their headquarters," The family head Holor replied to the abyss devil king with not so sure expression on his face. "Who cares as long as we can get Edmond''s head," The abyss devil king finally revealed a delightful smile as he continued, "Also, why don''t you try asking the fire sword sect once more? They might help us if we mention Edmond''s name continuously." The rtion between Edmond and the fire sword sect is like fire and water. So, the abyss devil king wanted Holor to ask the fire sword sect. Even though the help of the assassin sect is more than enough to kill Edmond and Udo, they still don''t know many things about Edmond''s sudden raise in his strength. Moreover, there is also the guild master and his five friends. So, the abyss devil king just wanted as many allies as possible to get the body of Edmond for some odd reason. "Your majesty, the fire sword sect, was very serious when they rejected our earlier invitation. So, I think it''s not good to repeatedly ask them because it might anger them and disrupt our ns," However, Holor didn''t leave the hall; instead, he suggested not to ask the fire sword sect because the reply he got from the fire sword sect was too harsh. So, he didn''t dare to ask them again. "I wonder why the fire sword sect didn''t attack Edmond¡­.Sigh," The abyss devil king sighed as he felt something was right and replied, "Then don''t ask and start nning with our allies from now today onwards." Chapter 721: Upgrading the skills

Chapter 721: Upgrading the skills

The abyss devil king can''t afford to anger the fire sword sect because that sect had the capability to disrupt his ns. Moreover, even after knowing about the abyss devil king and his n, the fire sword sect said that they won''t help them and at the same time, they also said that they would not interrupt them. So, after hearing the family head''s suggestion, the abyss devil king asked him to focus on nning with their allies. "Yes, your majesty," Holor heaved a sigh of relief as he left from the hall after a respectful bow. ''As long as I get Edmond''s corpse, I will be one step closer to reaching devil king,'' After Holor left the hall, the abyss devil king revealed a cruel smile and thought in his head. ...¡­ In the Silent Moon secret realm, ''Ding, The host''s understanding of the ''Abyss beast god bloodline'' increased. ''Ding, One of the effects of the abyss beast god bloodline is increased. Just after 6 hours, Ajax got two system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile. That''s right! The thing he selected toprehend was none other than his ''Abyss beast god bloodline''. However, what surprised him was the time taken to see some changes in the bloodline was very little. ''I thought, it would take more than 12 hours but looks like I was lucky,'' Soon, Ajax understood the benefit of the secret realm he was in and checked the change in the bloodline. ''Ding, Changed effect:- The battle prowess of the elemental spirits is three times. ''Good,'' Previously, it was only two times; however, this time, it increased to three times increment in the battle prowess just like his contracted spirit beasts. ''I think, I should better focus on something else, This bloodline is tooplicated to understand,'' Ajax felt it should be better for him to increase the levels of three skills or techniquespared to slight changes in the bloodline. He didn''t take this decision on a whim. After thinking about the bloodline for 6 hours, he understood theplex nature of his bloodline. If it was a normal bloodline, then he would have no problem directly increasing the effects within 24 hours. ''I will go for the skills I got from my official elemental spirits,'' Among all the skills and technique, the skills ''Demon w'' and ''Shadow clone''. They were still level 1. So, he felt that it would be easy for him toprehend them. Soon, without wasting any time, he startedprehending those two skills. After one hour... ''Ding, The host''s skill ''Demon w'' upgraded to level 2. After five hours¡­. ''Ding, The host''s skill ''Demon w'' upgraded to level 3. Just like he expected, it took him only six hours to increase the demon w to level 4. ''Now, Shadow clone,'' He didn''t even bother to check the upgrade skill and didn''t focus on the same skill because it would take him more than 12 hours toprehend or maybe even more. So, he didn''t waste his time on it and proceeded for the next official skill. After one hour, ''Ding, The host''s skill? ''Shadow clone'' upgraded to level 2. After five hours, ''Ding, The host''s skill? ''Shadow clone'' upgraded to level 3. Simrly, it took him another six hours to increase his second official skill to level 3. ''Phew'' After seeing thest system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief because the target he set for himself had sessfullypleted. Nevertheless, he didn''t waste any time as he focused on his level title ''Alchemy maniac'' because he didn''t have enough time toprehend anything less. ording to the vagrant cultivators, they could only stay here for 24 hours. So far, he used a six hours interval for the bloodline, demon w and shadow clone leaving him only another 6 hours. So, he looked at the title which is the lowest among all the skills and techniques. ''I increased all my cultivation techniques by one level,'' ''I increased all my skill from the ability fruit along with my main cultivation by one level,'' . . . All the young cultivators were excited about the special training ''Doing nothing'' and wanted more of these kinds of training. ''I increased by bloodline and now I can temporarily boost one major realm,'' Paulin didn''t focus on any cultivation technique or his official skills; instead, he focused on his bloodline which could temporarily boost the strength of everyone he touches; however, the more number of targets will put soo much pressure on him. ''I increased all three of my official skills from level 2 to level 3...excellent,'' As for Levi, he was more than excited with the gains from this time; what''s more, he also had a breakthrough into level 3 because he was only an inch away from reaching level 3 before entering the Silent Moon. ¡­.. "Everyone, only six hours are left before you wille out of yourprehensive state. So, utilize it properly. One more thing, from now onwards, yourprehension speed will be doubledpared to the earlier 18 hours," Just as Ajax was about to startprehending the ''Alchemy maniac'', he heard Elder Sandra''s voice beside his ears. Not only him, everyone received the same voice transmission from Elder Sandra making them excited and changed their ns. ''I will increase cloud steps to level 4,'' Since his head was calm, his thinking power was also sped and he chose the cloud steps because he was confident enough to increase it to level 4pared to other things. So, without any hesitation, he directly startedprehending the level 3 cloud steps. .... "Sigh...when were are at their age, there were no resources like these; otherwise, we would have already be the king realm cultivators," Looking at the young cultivators in the distance, Elder Ramon sighed; however, deep inside his heart, he was happy for his personal disciples. Once a cultivator''s prime age is over, then the normal cultivation resources would have little to no effect. Moreover, all the vagrant cultivators'' cultivation techniques and skills are too high. So, they can''t use the same cultivation resources as the young cultivators. "What we are unable to do will be aplished by our personal disciples. So, there is no need to worry," The guild master patted Elder Ramon''s shoulder and waited for the six hours to be over. "As soon as six hours arepleted, let''s take them to your secret realm without wasting any time," The guild master didn''t want to waste any time. So, he asked his friends to be ready. ... The concepts regarding the cloud steps became clearer with each passing second and Ajax carefully pondered about it much deeper. Compared toprehending level 3 skill,prehending level 4 skill is much more difficult and among all the level 3 skills and cultivation techniques, Ajax chose the level 3 cloud steps because it is lessplicatedpared to other things. One hour after another passed by and soon the six hours were about toe to an end; however, Ajax still didn''tprehend the level 4 loud steps. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gettingprehension into the cloud steps. Just when he thought, he was going to fail, Ajax got the system notification; however, the system didn''t stop there but sent another system notification making him surprised. Chapter 722: Lightning Cloud Steps

Chapter 722: Lightning Cloud Steps

''Ding, The host''s understanding of the cultivation technique ''Cloud Steps'' has reached high enough to evolve into a higher version of the movement technique. ''Ding, It is sessfully evolved into level 1 ''Lightning cloud steps''. Please open the technique in the user interface. When he saw the two system notifications in front of him, Ajax was shocked to the core. ''How can a cultivation technique evolve?'' This was the only thought in his head because ording to what he knew there was no record of anyone who evolved a cultivation technique. Skills and Cultivation techniques werepletely two different things. Skills can be evolved with some difficulty; however, cultivation techniques are different. So, he waspletely shocked and without wasting any time he checked the information on his new cultivation technique. Since there were only a couple of minutes before the 24 hours time waspleted, he decided to start checking everything that was upgraded so far. ''Ding, Cultivation technique name:- Lightning cloud steps Grade:- Legend (Low) Effects:- 1) Can teleport to anywhere within a 10 meters radius. 2) Three times the peak speed of a cultivator for an hour. Of course, the first one he would check was none other than the newly upgraded cultivation technique and after learning the effects of the technique, he startedughing but remembering he was under the watch of vagrant cultivators, he stoppedughing. ''This is a legend grade cultivation technique,'' It was his first legend grade technique. So, he could help but felt great excitement and wanted to test the technique; however, he thought he would do it at some other time. Next, he started checking the effects. ''So, I could teleport now...what a great effect,'' Ajax calmed himself down as he unconsciously smiled from ear to ear. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something?and asked the system, "Can I upgrade the level of the technique?" Since the technique was only level 1, Ajax felt he could upgrade it to level 2 with the essence of nature. ''Ding, Yes. To his question the system gave a reply; however, before he could smile, the next system notification made him bitterly shake his head. ''Ding, There are three requirements to upgrade the level of the lightning cloud steps. 1) Use the first effect 100 times 2)?Use the second effect 10 times 3) 10000 units of the essence of nature. There were no words left for Ajax to say to the system as he just shook his head and decided toplete the first two requirements before using the essence of nature to upgrade it. "Everyone, it''s time to leave," Before he could check his two other skills, the guild master appeared in the distance with his contract spirit beast, Livid griffin. "Yes, guild master," No one asked anything as they mounted the livid griffin and sat with a calm expression. Maybe it was due to the environment, even though they got upgrades in their skills and techniques, they were able to remain calm. ''System, let''s get back to the business,'' As for Ajax, he also calmly sat on the back of the livid griffin and started checking his two newly upgraded skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Demon w (Level 3) Element:- Dark, poison. Effects:- 1) 100 percent ignore defence. 2) 70 percent chance that the enemy will be poisoned as long as he gets a single scratch from the demon w Note:- only applicable to cultivators below elite general realm. ''Ding, Skill name:- Shadow clone (level 3) Element:- Dark Effect:- Summon a clone made up of shadow which has the battle prowess of around 70 percent of the cultivators. Special effect:- The cultivators can grant any one of the skills or cultivation techniques which they learned. Note:- After selecting a skill or cultivation technique, the host can''t change it back and the clone can permanently use it without any problem. Clone''s skills:- Shadow absorb, Blood absorb, Empty. Soon, theplete information about the two skills appeared in front of him. There were not many changes to the demon w but for the shadow clone skill, there was something that made Ajax quite excited. ''I can grant it one of my skills or cultivation techniques?'' It took him some time to calm down. Also, after calming down, Ajax didn''t take much time before selecting which one he should grant to his shadow clone. ''System, grant the ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' to my shadow clone,'' Ajax ordered the system as he waited for the system to take care of the things. As for why he chose the mysterious spirit cultivation technique, it was to have huge spirit consciousness. In the battle, as long as one had huge spirit consciousness, he would fight longer. Ajax already has many elemental spirits and spirit beasts to help him in fights; however, what he needed now was to have a battlepanion that could fight for long hours. ''Ding, Granting the ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' to the host''s shadow clone. ''Ding, Assimtionpleted. ''Ding, From now on, the shadow clone also gets the benefits of level 3 mysterious spirit cultivation technique. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head making Ajax quite shocked. Because the process was much simpler than he thought and at the same time, thest system notification was too shocking for him to receive. "Is something wrong, Ajax?" Elder Ramon noticed that Ajax was shocked for some reason and asked him and for that, Ajax simply shook his head saying it was nothing. ''Level 3 cultvuation technique? So, it will get all the effects of that technique?'' Ajax unconsciously asked the system aftering out of his thoughts. ''Ding, Yes. The shadow clone can increase his spirit consciousness by killing others just like the host. Soon, the system gave him a reply making Ajax quite happy. Until now, he thought, his shadow clone would slowly increase the level of the cultivation technique; however, he didn''t expect that he would directly learn the level 3 technique. ''Instead of getting one or two units of increment in the spirit consciousness capacity, it is better to get 10 percent of increment by killing the enemies,'' Ajax was continuously smiling from ear to ear. "Everyone, for the next 24 hours, you will focus on increasing your cultivation," While Ajax was feeling happy, he heard the guild master''s words, who continued to speak, "You will be entering the essence pool and absorb as much as possible essence to increase your cultivation." Since there is still time for them to reach the next secret realm, the eternal garden, the guild master wanted to exin something to the young cultivators. The guild master had already nned everything and after cultivating in the essence pool for 24 hours, the special training wille to thest step. The location of thest step of the special training was inside the guild master''s secret realm and ording to his guess, it would take a maximum of two days. ''As long as they perform well in my secret realm, they would be mini-powerhouses in the Zrochester province.'' "Guild master, can I skip this step in the special training?" All of a sudden, Ajax asked the guild master which made everyone around him shocked. Chapter 723: Gifts from the Dream Master

Chapter 723: Gifts from the ''Dream'' Master

Not only the young cultivators, but even the vagrant cultivators were also shocked after listening to Ajax''s sudden words. ording to them, the essence pool in the ''Eternal garden'' secret realm is the best cultivational resource to increase the cultivation in the shortest time possible. Elder Ramon allowed the essence pool to umte the essence of nature in it for nearly 20 years and at the same time, he even added many rich essence filled resources into the pool for today where his personal disciples could use them. Moreover, among all the young cultivators, they felt that Ajax was the one who needed this specific step of the special training program because his cultivation is the lowest. Even Neil reached the peak elitemander realm and only an inch away from entering the general realm whereas Ajax was still in the level 9 elitemander realm. "Why?" The guild master suppressed all the questions in his head and asked Ajax for the reason. If Ajax didn''t want to enter the essence pool, they could not forcefully make him enter it and cultivate in it. "My master said that if I enter the essence pool, others will not be able to benefit much. He was already pleased with your training for him and asked me to give you this mid-level spirit stone and this water," While speaking, he took out a green coloured spirit stone from his inventory and a small gourd filled with water from his mini-thunder pool before giving them to the guild master. He didn''t give time for others to react before saying, "He suggested that adding this mid-level spirit stone to the essence pool along with this water from the thunder realm will increase the purity of the essence of nature." ''What?'' Once again, everyone was shocked as they looked at the items in the guild master''s hands. Even though it was not their first time seeing a mid-level spirit stone, the vagrant cultivators were shocked because currently, they don''t have a single mid-level spirit stone as they already used them for their cultivation. ''Even though the mid-level spirit stone is notparable to what Ajax had benefited from the special training so far, it is a rare item and as long as a peak general realm cultivator used a mid-level spirit stone, they would instant breakthrough to the elite general realm,'' No matter what, Ajax felt that he benefited too much that he didn''t have any good items to give them. Actually, he thought of giving the ability strengthening pills, but he felt there were not enough of them. From the three ability fruits, he refined one fruit and with the remaining two fruits, he could only gain two more pills which will not be sufficient for the vagrant cultivators not to mention the young cultivators. "Ahem" The guild master recovered hisposure and cleared his throat before saying, "Ajax, please thank your master on our behalf." The guild master is not a modest cultivator and without any hesitation, he took items and asked Ajax to convey their thanks to his master. If not for their personal disciples, the guild master would not have taken those items because they won''t have any effect on him or his fellow vagrant cultivators. "He is always keeping an eye on us," Ajax revealed a slight smile as he replied back to the guild master. Hearing his words, the guild master and others shuddered because they were unable to sense any presence of the powerful ''Dream'' master. "So, what are you going to do for the next 24 hours?" Since Ajax wants to skip one of the essence pool training, the guild master asked him what he will do. "My master gave me a simple task of entering the inner section of the cursed wilderness and train for some time to understand the abilities I gained from the special training," Ajax had already nned what to say and said everything to the guild master without making any mistake. As long as there was a word ''Master'' in Ajax''s sentences, the vagrant cultivators never ask more questions fearing that would irritate that ''Dream'' master in Ajax''s head. "Okay," The guild master nodded his head and asked, "Should I drop you at the¡­..," "No need, guild master. I can go from here on," Before the guild master could finish his words, Ajax interrupted him. "Okay. I will control the griffin tond on the ground, then¡­," "No need, guild master. I will be going now," Once again, he didn''t wait for the guild master to finish his words and waved at everyone before jumping down from the livid griffin. ''...'' Vagrant cultivators were speechless. ''...'' All the young cultivators were speechless. Soon, the vagrant cultivators shook their heads whereas the young cultivators'' motivation to be stronger had increased a lot. Since the guild master wanted to finish the special training as soon as possible, he continued to guide the livid griffin towards Elder Ramon''s secret realm. ... ''Woah'' As for Ajax, he was freely falling while letting out excited shouts. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Ajax disappeared from his spot and appeared 10 meters away from his original position. That''s right! It was the first effect of the lightning cloud steps which was to teleport anywhere within the 10 meters radius. Even though it was mentioned ''Teleport'' in the effect, actually, it was speed movement and not actual teleportation. Also, there were two reasons why he didn''t want to enter the essence pool and decided to leave the group. One, he knew that there was no use for him to fill his essence of nature because he could not increase his cultivation. Moreover, his absorption speed is so high that others would not benefit from the essence pool. Two, he wanted to test his new skills and upgraded cultivation technique. "Now, I will test them by killing the spirit beasts in the inner section of the wilderness," Ajax revealed an excited smile as he used the first effect of the cultivation technique from time to time. ''Huh? This thing is consuming too much of essence of nature,'' Finally, Ajax noticed that the consumption rate for using the effect was so huge which made him stop using it. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his head, he waited till he reached the ground and teleported himself in the forward direction before jumping onto the ground. ''Phew¡­.even though it cost me too much of essence of nature, it was fun,'' Ajax liked the feeling of freely teleporting in the air despite the fact it was costly. As for the consumption, each time he used the teleportation effect, 2000 units of the essence of nature would be consumed. So, in total, he could now teleport himself five times if his spirit consciousness was full. "After filling my spirit consciousness, I will go and meet with Gaimont," Since he was in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he would definitely want to meet his strongest contracted spirit beast, the golden wyvern king, Gaimont. He is one of the kings in the inner section with a territory. So, Ajax had something to do there. However, before that, he wanted to fill his spirit consciousness by killing the spirit beasts. Chapter 724: Visiting Golden Wyvern King

Chapter 724: Visiting Golden Wyvern King

''Ding, The host killed a rank 5 Timber wolf. Gained 500 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host killed a rank 4 silver spotted deer. Gained 100 units of the essence of nature. . . . . In the inner section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax was killing the spirit beasts which rushed towards him as soon as hended on the ground. Nevertheless, even if they didn''te looking for him, he would have looked for them. Moreover, each time he killed a spirit beast, the system notification rang in his head making him even more excited. ''This new demon w is more powerful than I thought,'' After using the two upgraded skills and the cultivation technique, Ajax was shocked by the demon w because he didn''t think much about it. However, after seeing its power, he felt his initial thoughts were wrong. His fighting style was simple, he would use the second effect of the lightning cloud steps along with the demon w, which made his attacking speed increase by three times. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness is filled. ''Finally, I filled my spirit consciousness,'' After seeing the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Since he used all his newly upgraded skills and technique and at the same time filled his spirit consciousness, he could finally stop killing the spirit beasts. ''Screech'' Just as he was feeling satisfied with his newly upgraded skills and technique, Ajax heard a screech in the air and revealed a smile on his face before thinking, ''Just in time.'' "Master" Soon, two huge brown coloured birdsnded on the ground and respectfully greeted Ajax. Those two birds were none other than the brown eagle brothers, Nis and Lucas. As for how they were able to find Ajax is due to the system''s new essence grubbing service. As long as he spent the essence of nature, the system will send the messages to others. However, that service came with many conditions. The person whom Ajax wants to contact must be at least a friend or an acquaintance. Strength of the person or being, the distance between them and many other conditions. ''Although there are many restrictions, I can send messages to Levi and others if there is something very urgent,'' Since getting the essence of nature is very easy for him, Ajax was not stingy as he directly ordered the brown eagles to meet him in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Let''s go," Ajax had already nned what to do next. So, he guided the brown eagles in a specific direction. It''s been only three hours since he left the guild master and others. So, there is still a lot of time for him to do a lot of things. As for where he was going, it was to meet his strongest contracted spirit beast. Since Gaimont was his contract spirit beast, Ajax was able to sense his current location and guided the brown eagles to his territory. ''Swoosh'' However, just as he entered the golden wyvern king''s territory, a couple of brown coloured wyverns appeared in front of him and stopped him from flying any further. "Humans are not allowed to enter into this territory. So, please leave," They were three meters long with huge wings and roared at him. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised to hear those words and wondered whether he was hearing things. Because it was the first time, a spirit beast asked him to leave the territory without attacking him. "I am here for your King. Just say him that ''His master'' is here," Both the brown-coloured wyverns were only rank 5 spirit beasts. So, Ajax casually said to them in a low tone. "What did you say?" "You dare to say that you are my king''s master?" Both the wyverns roared and gave the signal to other wyverns. ''Swoosh'' Within no time, many brown coloured wyverns along with five silver-coloured wyverns appeared and surrounded him in the mid-air. All the brown coloured wyverns were rank 5 and as for the silver coloured wyverns, they were rank 6 which made Ajax a little surprised. ''No wonder, Gaimont'' s have a territory with good subordinates,'' Ajax looked at each and every wyvern who looked strong and powerful before nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. "Gaimont, are you noting here to wee me?" Ajax didn''t bother even when he got surrounded by so many spirit beasts and shouted as loudly as possible. Because he knew that the Gaimont was testing him with his army. That''s right! How can a peak rank 6 spirit beast that was almost on par with the vagrant cultivators would not sense his arrival? So, Ajax guessed that Gaimont wanted to see his master''s reaction when he was surrounded by the bunch of rank 6 along with hundreds of rank 5 spirit beasts. "How dare you call my king by his names," As soon as they heard Ajax''s words, all the wyverns instantly became furious and rushed towards Ajax to kill him. ''From the looks of it, they were not acting. Maybe, Gaimont didn''t say anything about me to them,'' Ajax didn''t move from his ce as he directly said, "If you don''t appear within a second, I will erase you from the face of this world." He was not joking when he said those words and he was ready to kill all the spirit beasts thate near him. Ajax was confident in killing the rank 5 spirit beasts and to his luck, only rank 5 brown coloured wyverns were rushing towards him. ¡­.. At another ce in the same territory, "Damn it, he is not joking with his words," Gaimont, who was watching Ajax from afar with a huge smile on his face froze all of a sudden when he heard Ajax''s final words. And without wasting a single second, he disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of Ajax. "Everyone, kneel," As soon as he appeared in front of Ajax, he exuded his dominance which made all the wyvernsnd on the ground and kneeled by bowing their long necks. "He is my master. Any kind of disrespect towards him will lead you to death," Gaimont didn''t dare to look at Ajax and continued to order his subordinates, "Why are you still not apologizing?" "Please forgive us, Master," Since Ajax was their king''s master, they also called him ''Master'' and asked for his forgiveness. "No problem," Ajax was not at all angry at them for stopping him because he knew they did nothing wrong as they were just doing their job. Moreover, he liked the way the golden wyvern king trained them. "Master, let''s talk inside him cultivationir," Soon, Gaimont led Ajax into a huge cultivationir which was filled with some good gold essence of nature. Golden wyvern king is a special type of spirit beast that used the gold essence of nature to increase its cultivation. "Master, I was waiting for you toe," Actually,pared to Ajax, Gaimont was more excited to meet Ajax because the more he interacted with Ajax, the more he could understand about Ajax and how he is nning to help him evolve into a Golden dragon king. "Before that, exin to me about your territory and other territories in the inner section," Ajax calmly asked Gaimont while sitting on a stone bed. Chapter 725: Gaimonts army

Chapter 725: Gaimont''s army

Earlier, when the system gave him the mission to form a contract with Gaimont and take over his territory, Ajax understood that the system will give more missions to conquer other territories or defend his own territory from the other spirit beast kings. So, Ajax wanted to have some knowledge about the other territories and the force under Gaimont. "There are twelve spirit beast kings with their own territory and army including me," Gaimont looked at Ajax for a moment and started his exnation, "They were ranked from 1 to 12 depending on their strengths and with these ranks, their territory will be decided." "So, you are the weakest among the twelve spirit beast kings, right?" Ajax interrupted Gaimont and asked him. Since Gaimont''s territory was on the starting of the inner section of the cursed wilderness, it was not hard to guess. "Yes, master," All of a sudden, a bitter look appeared on his face when he replied to Ajax. Currently, Gaimont is in a human form. A middle-aged man in light golden armour with golden hair. "Not only I am weak but their army is also very? powerful and I won''t dare to wage a war against them," Suppressing his emotions, Gaimont said to Ajax. ''No wonder, he easily epted my offer when I promised him to evolve him into a golden dragon king,'' Finally, Ajax understood why Gaimont formed the contract with him. Actually, Gaimont worked very hard from the start and from a low-level brown-coloured wyvern, he reached the golden coloured wyvern. It is the peak stage any wyvern could reach and from there onwards, no matter how hard a wyvern works, except for increasing some strength, they don''t have any hope of entering even the demi-king realm not to mention the actual king realm. So, Gaimont didn''t want to leave any chance that could help him evolve into a golden dragon king which had a boundless future. "As for the exact strength of their armies, I don''t have any clear idea because it''s been so long since someone waged a war against other spirit beast kings," While Ajax was in his own thoughts, Gaimont finished exining about the other spirit beast kings and their territories. "Huh?" Ajax came out of his thoughts; however, he revealed a confused look on his face when he heard Gaimont''s words. Because,pared to humans, the spirit beasts like to fight more with one another. So, Ajax felt something was wrong with the spirit beast kings for not fighting for so long. "Actually, there is a reason for it. Other than these 12 spirit beast kings, there is a powerful spirit beast king who gives orders to us. Since he is too powerful and we can''t beat him even if all of us joined together. So, we epted him as our king and follow his orders," Gaimont could understand the reason for the confused look on Ajax''s face and exin without wasting any time. "What?" As for Ajax, he waspletely shocked when he heard those words. A spirit beast king which could not be beaten by the twelve spirit beast kings who were on par with the vagrant cultivators. So, of course, he would be shocked to hear that. "Moreover, he said that he made an agreement with the humans that they should not enter the inner section of the cursed wilderness. If they enter the inner section, the spirit beasts can kill them without any hesitation and the same rule is applicable to the spirit beasts from the inner section that they should cross the middle section of the cursed wilderness on their own risk of getting killed anytime in the hands of the humans." "He also set conditions as we should only wage war against others when the two spirit beast kings are willing." "And, every spirit beast in the territory needed to be carefully trained and should not kill others." . . . "All these conditions made everyone irritated and annoyed. So, they are just waiting for him to die before getting their freedom." Soon, Ajax got a clear idea of why he was not killed when he entered this territory; however, when he heard thest sentence, Ajax frowned and felt a little unhappy. A spirit beast king who is keeping the other spirit beast kings in order should not die; otherwise, the spirit beast kings who were hungry for some blood would start waging wars on the human world. Until now, Ajax thought that the reason why no high-level spirit beasts attacked the humans was because of the mercenary guild, royal family, the top three sects and the great families. However, he never expected that a spirit beast king was helping the humans and spirit beasts from fighting one another. It made him respect that the King of the spirit beasts kings more. "Is he going to die?" Ajax didn''t ponder much about the information that Gaimont had given him and asked about the king of the spirit beast kings. "I don''t know what happened to him. ording to the rumour, he will live for another 2-3 years at most," Gaimont bitterly replied to Ajax. As the weakest spirit beast king, he was surviving only because of his king''s conditions and once he is gone, then others will swallow his territory because it is very easy for them to conquer his territory. ''After taking my revenge, I should see whether I can help the spirit beast king or not,'' Even though he has respect for the king of the spirit beasts, that doesn''t mean he would go and say that ''I will help you'', because he still didn''t have good resources that could help a being of that level. So, he could only think about helping the spirit beast king after his strength is increased. "Now, tell me about your territory. How big your army is and what type of cultivation resources you have," Soon, he came to the main point and asked him about his territory. "Yes, master," Gaimonst nodded his head and continued, "My territory is mostly filled with wyverns because other spirit beasts don''t like me as their king and joined other territories." "Nevertheless, I impressed many spirit beasts from other races to work for me," Gaimont revealed a bright smile as he continued to say, "My territory has three silver wyvern kings who act as the generals and under each one of them, they have 10 silver wyverns who leads 1000 brown wyverns each." ''Looks like the silver wyvern kings are mutated ones, I guess,'' Ajax already know that brown wyverns were rank 5 spirit beasts, silver wyverns were rank 6; however, he didn''t know about the silver wyvern king''s strength. However, Ajax guessed that they must have the battle prowess of more than a mid-rank 6 spirit beast. "Also, there are other special spirit beast units which mostlyprised of spirit beasts other than wyverns," While Ajax was thinking about the strength of the silver wyvern king, Gaimont continued to exin about other units. "Overall, I have an army of 35000," ''With this army and my own mini-army, I think I can easily wage a war on the assassin sect.'' Finally, Gaimont gave the total count of his army and as soon as he heard that, Ajax felt like he could wage a war on the assassin sect. Chapter 726: 1% Success Rate

Chapter 726: 1% Sess Rate

Threete-stage rank 6 spirit beasts, 30 mid-stage rank 6 spirit beasts, 30000 rank 5 spirit beasts along with 5000 spirit beasts of rank 6 and rank 5 spirit beasts other than wyverns. Also, adding his own army of elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, Ajax felt it was an easy thing to destroy the assassin sect. However, he quickly rejected the idea of waging the war because of two reasons. One, the kings of the spirit beast kings would be angry and remove his protection from Gaimont''s territory. As for the second, the top powers of the Zrocehster province would not like when some spirit beasts wage war on any sect in the province because if they allow it, in the future, they might also get destroyed. So, they would ally with the assassin sect to kill the spirit beasts. Even if a single great family ally with the assassin sect, Ajax didn''t have enough confidence to destroy the assassin sect not to mention the top sects or the royal family. ''Moreover, the guild master would support them because the war will kill many innocent lives,'' One of the reasons the guild master and his friends didn''t attack the sects because it would cost many innocent lives. If one is too powerful and kills the entire power before the enemy could retaliate, then only they could attack the top powers and the guild master waited for that time. Also, it was just an act when he sounded angry and collected various items from the top powers. "Master, shall we talk about my evolution?" Finally, after exining everything, Gaimont asked about his evolution. Even though Ajax asked for one year time, Gaimont was unable to control his urge to know more about it; however, what he didn''t know was that Ajax didn''t even think about his evolution so far. "Hmm" Ajax nodded his head and calmly asked the system in his head, ''System, what are the methods for a wyvern to evolve into a dragon?'' He already knew one method of evolving a wyvern into a dragon; however, the sess rate for that method is very low. So, Ajax asked the system to know whether there were any other methods. If there are no new methods, then he would go with the only method of using the blood essence of the destructive twilight dragon. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 1000 units of the essence of nature. As usual, the system started asking for the essence of nature and Ajax directly spent the required amount of the essence of nature before the system gave a reply to his earlier question. ''Ding, Yes, there are many methods for a wyvern to evolve into a dragon; however, not a single resource that is avable in the Zrochester province is helpful for it. ''Then?'' The system''s initial words made him happy; however, the next words made him shake his head. ''Ding, A free suggestion for the host from the system''s side. ''Ding, Please breakthrough into the general realm. The chances of evolving the golden wyvern king into a dragon will be increased. Soon, two system notification appeared in front of him that made Ajax nod his head; however, inside his heart, he thought, ''If you don''t give me any ''A'' danger rating mission, then how will I increase my cultivation?'' Even though the system heard those words, it didn''t reply to Ajax as usual. "Master...master.." Gaimont''s shouts woke Ajax up from his daze. "Yes," Ajax nodded his head and replied, "Although I have a pure dragon''s blood essence with me, your chances of evolving is only 1 percent. So, I suggest you wait for a couple of months until I find another method with more sess rate." "Master, you have the special blood essence of a pure dragon?" Gaimont was shocked for a moment before bing excited after hearing Ajax''s words. Earlier when he gave an order for his subordinates to kill the little snow lion king to get his blood essence, there was only a chance of 0.01 percent. But he still didn''t want to miss it. So,pared to the blood essence of a snow lion emperor bloodline''s spirit beast, the blood essence of a pure dragon is higher. It was the reason for his excitement. "Yes," Ajax raised his brows when he saw the excitement in Gaimont''s eyes but still, he nodded his head. "Master, please give it to me. I will use it to evolve into a dragon. Even if it failed, I am willing to take the risk," After the confirmation from Ajax, Gaimont became even more excited and asked him to give it to him. That''s right! When evolving using the blood essence, if there was a failure then the chances of a severe injury is for sure and in the worst cases, they might even die. "No." Ajax instantly rejected Gaimont''s request with a serious expression on his face. "Master...why?" Despite the fact, he already knew the reason, Gaimont still asked Ajax; however, Ajax gave some other answer to convince him. "Since you want to try, I can give you if the chances are high; however, there is a 99 percent chance of failure and I don''t want to ask the blood essence from the pure dragon which will stagnate its cultivation for some time," Ajax calmly replied to Gaimont that made Gaimont understand something and thought, ''So, master has a pure dragon under him. No wonder, he was so confident.'' After hearing that, Gaimont didn''t ask for the blood essence because he knew the side effects of giving the special blood essence to others. When normal blood essence is taken out of the cultivator or spirit beast''s body, nothing will happen and they just need to refine the blood essence once again. However, the special blood essence is different as it contained the traces of pure bloodline in it that could help the golden wyvern king to evolve into a golden dragon king. By giving away the special blood essence, the spirit beast will temporarily halt the progress in its cultivation and the most important thing is its battle prowess will be reduced by 50 percent for a couple of weeks. If there was a high sess rate, then he would have given that special blood essence to Giamont; however, the sess rate was pitifully low and Ajax thought it was not worth the risk. "You don''t have to worry about your evolution," Ajax consoled Gaimont as he continued, "Did you forget I swore to help you be a golden dragon king? So, just wait for some time before I find another method with a huge sess rate." "I will do as you say master," After learning that Ajax had a pure-blooded dragon in his arsenal, the golden wyvern king became rxed for some reason and nodded his head. "Good." Seeing that, Ajax became happy that Gaimont''s anxiety had disappeared and said, "There is one more thing, I came here today." Since he learned about everything he wanted to learn about the inner section of the cursed wilderness and Gaimont''s army, he came to the final thing he wanted to do in Gaimont''s territory and asked, "I need a good ce in your territory to construct something." Chapter 727: Battle Beasts Formation Altar

Chapter 727: Battle Beasts Formation Altar

"Good ce?" Gaimont revealed a confused look as he asked Ajax. "Yes," Ajax nodded his head as he exined,? "The ce has to be well hidden from others." "Hmm...there are a few ces in my territory which are well hidden. I will show them to you, master and you can pick a ce you like," Gaimont didn''t know why Ajax wanted a well-hidden ce but still, he showed all the well-hidden ces to Ajax. "Gaimont, this ce is good," After checking a few ces, Ajax liked a ce and selected it. "Master, do you see the ce over there?" Gaimont pointed his finger into the distance where a couple of brown wyverns were flying from time to time and continued to say, "All the eggs of my subordinates will be ced there because there is a metal spirit vein that helps the eggs to mutate more often." "Oh" Ajax nodded his head; however, Ajax didn''t have any interest to go over there and check the breeding ground of the wyverns. As for the location they were currently standing in a ce with two huge trees beside them and behind them, there were a few boulders that were blocking others from entering from that direction. Overall, there was only one direction in which anyone could see. "Gaimont, I have a small work for you," Soon, Ajax assigned Gaimont a small work of gathering the spirit beasts without any bloodline and bringing them to this ce. "Huh?" Gaimont wanted to ask Ajax what he was going to do; however, before he could ask, Ajax summoned a pure-blooded dragon. "Twilight, bring those boulders and ce them here," Pointing at the boulders in the distance, Ajax asked the dragon to bring them. As for Gaimont, looking at the huge purple coloured dragon, he waspletely in a daze and his eyes started sparking with bright light. ''Such a majestic dragon,'' Even if the dragon is a normal earth dragon which is the least powerful among all the dragon, Gaimont would have said the same thing because in his eyes a pure dragon is a spirit beast that born to rule. So, of course, he would say that. Soon he left to gather the spirit beasts with no bloodline in their bodies. ¡­.. "System, I want to use the ''Battle beasts crystal'' here," After the dragon covered the only opening to the ce Ajax had selected, Ajax started his work by asking the system. ''Ding, Do you want toy the battle beasts formation here? Yes/No "Yes" Without any hesitation, Ajax selected ''Yes'' and the crystal in his hand turned into a powder before entering the ground. ''Rumble'' Soon, a rumbling sound came in the ce where he was standing and all of a sudden a ck coloured pir rose from the ground. ''Ding, An altar for the battle beasts formation is sessfully created, ''Ding, Please wait until the formation ispletely finished. Before Ajax could think about what was happening, he received the two system notifications that made him calm down. "System, how long¡­.," ''Ding, The battle beasts formation setup is sessfullypleted. Please check the altar to know more about the battle beasts formation. Before he could ask for thepletion time, Ajax got a system notification that made him reveal a slight smile on his face. Without any further ado, he checked the ck altar which is around 3 meters in height. ''Ding, Item name:- Battle beasts formation altar Effect:- Can turn the spirit beasts with no bloodline into battle beasts. Note:- Currently, it can turn only 10 spirit beasts into battle beasts in a single round and each roundsts for 10 days. Description:- An item that could change the fate of a normal spirit beast. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with the details of the altar. "10 spirits beast in one go? Excellent," Ajax didn''t expect that this 5 meters altar could turn 10 normal spirit beasts into battle beasts in a single round. ''At this rate, I will have 30 battle beasts in a month and 360 in a year,'' Ajax was excited when he thought about the battle beasts army he was going to have in a year. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was feeling excited the two brown eaglesnded behind Ajax and looked at the altar with curious looks on their faces. "You came sooner than I expected," The two eagles came only when Ajax ordered them toe; however, to Ajax''s surprise, they arrived sooner than he expected. "Master, what is that altar," The big brown eagle asked Ajax while the little brown eagle was still hesitating whether to ask or not. "Just wait for some time. Once Gaimont''ses here with some spirit beasts, I will exin all of you together," He asked them to wait and both the eagles nodded their heads. It didn''t take much time before Gaimont came with 100 spirit beasts behind him. ''He brought too many spirit beasts with him,'' At first, Ajax was shocked; however, he didn''t think much about it and carefully observed the spirit beast behind Gaimont. Among the 100 spirit beasts, 40 were early-stage rank 6 wyverns; however, they were not silver colour; instead, they were still brown in colour which means they didn''t awaken any bloodline. As long as a rank 6 wyvern awakens a bloodline, they will turn into silver colour if not they would stay in the same brown colour. So with a nce, Ajax could say that these spirit beasts were good choice for battle beasts. "So, the altar behind me can help you turn into battle beasts," Ajax didn''t give any detailed exnation and only said a single line. A single line is enough to raise amotion in the spirit beasts behind Gaimont. Even Gaimont was shocked for a second before suppressing it. "So, Gaimont, from now on, you have to select 10 spirit beasts without a bloodline and allow them to enter into this ce for every 10 days. As for others who dare to enter without permission, just kill them," Ajax ordered Gaimont with a serious expression on his face. "Yes, master," Why would he not follow that order? It will be helpful for him if there are many battle beasts in his army. So, even if the king of the spirit beast kings is dead, he would at least retort. "As for now select 8 spirit beasts," Nodding his head, Ajax asked him to select eight spirit beasts and along with the two eagle brothers, it would be the first batch to undergo the process. "I will take my leave now," Since he finished all the works he wanted toplete, Ajax didn''t stay in Gaimont''s territory for much time before leaving from there. Also, before leaving, he met the snow lion family of three. However, currently, they have finished the re-cultivation process and turned into a humanoid, making Ajax surprised. Unlike the little snow lion, both the father and mother snow lion king didn''t turn into pure human form; instead, they turned into half-human and half-beast form. Except for the lion head, the remaining portion was human along with long tails on their back. Nevertheless, Ajax congratted them and left from Gaimont''s territory. Chapter 728: Keshe is in a critical condition?

Chapter 728: Keshe is in a critical condition?

Ajax was in a hurry to leave Gaimont''s territory because he got a new system mission while exining about the battle beasts formation altar to the spirit beasts which had no bloodline in them. ''Ding, Mission name:- Save the princess. Information:- Keshe had met with an ident while undergoing the re-cultivation process. Her condition is deteriorating with each passing second. Rewards:- 1) energy orb which could increase the host''s cultivation by a single minor realm. 2) The gratitude of the Forest Fairy King, Geron. Danger rating:- None Time limit:- One hour. As soon as he read the new system mission, he didn''t bother about anything else and rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness while using his level 1 lightning cloud steps. ''Since I don''t know the location of King Geron, I can only do that,'' The moment he entered the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax thought of an idea to find out about King Geron''s location. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, he found a rank 5 spirit beast that waszing around in a distance. ''Pak'' ''Thud'' It was a mischievous monkey that likes to fool with every spirit beast. So, Ajax didn''t give any time for it before hitting it. After a round of hitting, Ajax stopped and asked the mischievous monkey, "So, where does your king Geron live? As long as you take me there, I will heal all your injuries." For spirit beasts like mischievous monkeys, you have to tame them first before asking them any question; otherwise, they will continue to fool around with you. ''Keek keek'' The monkey didn''t dare to fool around them fearing that the human in front of it might kill if it fools with him. Soon, it shouted at Ajax and asked him to follow it. "Good," Ajax revealed a slight smile as he followed it and within a few minutes, the monkey took him to a ce with many huge trees and pointed at the huge tree in the center, and jumped up and down. "Are you saying, it is the ce where your king lives?" Ajax guessed its words from its reaction and nodded his head. "Take this pill and if we are lucky, let''s meet again," While saying that, Ajax threw a green-coloured pill towards the mischievous monkey before walking towards the tree pointed by the monkey. ''Keek'' The monkey looked at the pill in its eyes and then took another nce at Ajax''s back view before running away from that ce in a hurry. For some reason, the monkey felt its heart was beating very fast from the moment it touched the pill. So, without wasting any time, it rushed towards its safest ce to consume the pill before any other powerful spirit beast could take it from its hands. ¡­.. As for why Ajax gave it an advanced essence pill was because he hit the monkey a little too much and the injuries on its body were more than he expected. ''I am still not used to control my strength,'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he thought to himself before trying to knock the tree trunk a couple of times. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could lightly knock the tree trunk, a few spirit beasts in the form of humansnded on the ground. "What are you trying to do?" One of the middle-aged men in green-robes walked forward and asked Ajax with a serious look on his face. "I am here to see big sister Keshe," Ajax didn''t have any time to waste on fighting then as he directly came to the point, "She is in a critical situation and she might die within half an hour." "Stop talking non-sense, our king said that princess Keshe is recovering from her injuries," The same old man in green robes continued to say, "By the way, how do you know that princess Keshe was injured? Who are you actually?" All of a sudden, the hostilitying from the fairy guardians and generals increased to an extreme range. However, Ajax didn''t know what to answer on how he was able to know that Keshe was injured. "Everyone, disperse," While Ajax was thinking of a suitable answer, a voice came from the distance and asked everyone who was about to attack Ajax anytime. "But minister¡­.," However, the fairy generals felt suspiciousness from Ajax. So, they tried to say a few more things; however, they were interrupted by the neer. "There is no need to worry about all those things. He is the friend of princess Keshe and a benefactor of the fairy kingdom," The neer was none other than Ceru, the minister of the fairy kingdom. How could he allow someone to attack Ajax? Are they capable of offending that existence who could casually give a re-cultivation technique? Moreover, Ajax himself had given some pills called ''Advanced essence pills'' to Keshe. So, of course, Ajax was considered a benefactor of the fairy kingdom. "Yes, minister," After hearing Ceru''s words, all the fairy guardians and fairy generals nodded their heads before going back to their works. "Elder, you are¡­," "I am Keshe''s uncle and you don''t need to worry about Keshe, she is doing perfectly alright." Even though Ceru knew about Ajax, Ajax didn''t know a single thing about Ceru. So, he respectfully asked; however, before he could finish his sentence, Ceru interrupted them and answered his question. "No...there is something wrong with big sister Keshe. Let me see her and I may be able to save her," Ajax became anxious when he heard Ceru''s words and hurriedly asked Ceru to take him to see Keshe. "Okay okay," Ceru nodded his head and he just thought Ajax was overly concerned for Keshe and at the same time, he thought, ''Does he have feelings for Keshe? If he really has feelings, then it''s a good match.'' However, he quickly rejected that thought as he remembered that Ajax calls Keshe as his big sister. So, he changed his thoughts. Soon, he tapped the tree trunk in rhythm and an entrance opened in the tree trunk. ''I have to save her at any cost,'' This was the only thought in his head for the entire time until he was taken to Keshe. The reason he was in a rush to save Keshe was not for the system''s reward; instead, he acknowledged Keshe as his big sister. So, he thought to save her at any cost. ...¡­. "Brother, this is Ajax," Soon, Ajax saw a middle-aged man was sitting beside Keshe and Brave with concerned looks on his face. And as soon as they entered the ce that looked like a chamber which was filled with rich wood essence of nature, Ceru introduced Ajax to the middle-aged man. "That Ajax?" Geron stood up and asked with a surprised look on his face. "Yes," Ceru nodded his head and said to Ajax, "He is Keshe''s father and the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness." "Hello, King Geron," Ajax politely greeted Geron as he continued without wasting any time, "Big sister''s life is in a critical state. Can you please let me treat her?" He was not too rash to directly rush to Keshe; instead, he asked permission from Geron and expectantly looked for a positive answer from him. Chapter 729: Reason for Keshes unconsciousness

Chapter 729: Reason for Keshe''s unconsciousness

"What?" Geron was shocked to hear Ajax''s words and once again took a look at Keshe; however, he didn''t find any external or internal injuries in Keshe''s body. "King Geron, it''s impossible to find out with normal eyes," With each passing second, Ajax was bing anxious and hurriedly informed Geron, "I have a life elemental spirit with special eyes. So, please give me a chance to prove myself." Without any hesitation, Ajax directly summoned his life elemental spirit, Spirus. ''Swoosh'' "Greetings to the summoning master," As soon as she was summoned, Spirus respectfully greeted Ajax before looking at the unconscious Keshe and Brave. "..." Geron didn''t know what to say and since Ajax had a life elemental spirit with him, he didn''t stop Ajax''s actions. Moreover, the fairy race which Geron belonged to has a great affinity with the life essence of nature and carefully looked at Spirus. "Spirus, you know what to do, right?" Ajax didn''t give any detailed orders as Spirus was a spirit doctor and she knew what she had to do. Nodding her head, Spirus walked to Keshe and used her ''Diagnosis eyes''. Soon, Spirus''s eyes shone with green light as she carefully searched for a reason why Keshe was asleep. After searching Keshe''s entire body, Spirus continued to search the dark lion king''s body on the other stone bed. ''Huf huf'' It didn''t take much time before Spirus revealed a tired look on her face and started breathing. "What happened, Spirus? Did you find out what''s wrong with Keshe," Ajax hurriedly asked Spirus while Geron and Ceru were also looking with worried faces. "Phew" Taking a deep breath, Spirus exined,? "Although, her condition seemed good on the surface, it is not extremely severe." ''What?'' Geron and Ceru''s faces were ashen when they heard her words. Until now, they thought that Ajax was just overly concerned regarding Keshe; however, after hearing Spirus''s words, they were unable to calm down. ''Thinking about it, she should have awakened by now; however, she is still asleep. Looks like they were talking the truth,'' Even though he was not good at healing, he was confident in finding whether something was wrong in other''s bodies; however, he was unable to find anything and thought his daughter was just a little tired to wake up. "I don''t why, but their spirit consciousness capacities were growing at a slow pace with the help of the essence of nature; however, the essence of natureing from the healing pills you gave to them were not able to supply the amount of essence of nature required to increase their spirit consciousness capacity." Spirus started exining what she had noticed from her diagnosis eyes. "What?" Geron was shocked as hurriedly went to check on his daughter and when he entirely focused on the spirit consciousness, he was able to notice the spirit consciousness was increasing 1 unit per 10 minutes. "If we don''t give something full of life energy to them within 20 minutes, they will die because the spirit consciousness is very hungry and it will start absorbing their life essence to increase its capacity. If that were to happen, they will die," Although Spirus''s words sounded a little rash, no one had the time to pick a fight with her and Geron hurriedly took out the cultivation resources he got from his big brother to search for items with rich life essence in them. "Spirus, will monster peach help them?" While Geron was searching for the cultivation resources in the space ring, Ajax asked Spirus. ording to the system, the monster peach is fruit filled with lots of life energy which could instantly push anyone from the general realm to the elite general realm. Moreover, he is lucky enough to have one monster peach in his storage which he thought of using for himself when he reached the general realm. However,pared to someone''s life, increasing his own strength who knows when with that fruit made no sense for him. So, he didn''t hesitate to give it to Keshe who was kind to him. ''What?'' Geron and Ceru were once again shocked by Ajax''s words because they knew how important a monster peach is for a human. "Of course, it will help," Spirus nodded her head without bothering with the shocked expressions from Geron and Ceru. "However, if you want to save both of them, you need to have two monster peaches, master," However, before anyone could let out excited smiles, Spirus''s next words made them frown. ''Ding, When the monster peach is divided, then the life energy inside it would disappear into its surroundings. Suddenly, the system answered him without taking any essence of nature. ''Are there any other methods to save both of them?'' Since the system was helping him without any essence of nature, he asked the next question hoping the system would not take advantage of his situation. ''Ding, Yes. The host has to use the monster peach as the main ingredient and refine a pill that is capable of holding the same amount of life energy inside it and at the same time, he has to refine at least 2 pills to save both of them. ''Oh'' Ajax understood what the system was saying and nodded his head before saying, "Thank you" to the system. "King Geron, is there a peaceful room for me to refine a pill?" Since he was already a rank 4 alchemist and with a high sess rate from the alchemy maniac title and the medium fire refining control technique, he had enough confidence to refine a pill. Moreover, he had read of refining the pills with the same energy as their main ingredient in the basic alchemy king''s handbook. So, he didn''t hesitate to ask for a room to refine the room. Although he couldplete the mission by saving Keshe, he wants to save the dark lion king too. Since he was basically using hisst monster peach, if he could produce a batch of pills with the same effects as the monster peach, then not only could he save the dark lion king, he could also use a pill for himself to break through to the elite general realm. "You can take that room," Geron came out of his thoughts and pointing at a room, he replied to Ajax. As for what he was currently thinking inside his mind; except for himself, no one knows. "King Geron, while I am refining the pills, you can give some good cultivation resources to both of them," "As for you Spirus, use your blessing on both of them and help me increase the time for myself to refine some pills," As soon as he finished his words, Ajax rushed into the next room. Ajax had to create his own recipe by taking the example of one of the recipes from Mason''s family guide book and he had to use the techniques from the basic alchemy guide from the alchemy king. For that, he needed some time and he was sure that the entire process of thinking and refining the pills from the monster peach, would definitely take more than 20 minutes. "Yes," Geron and Spirus nodded their heads and hurriedly did what Ajax suggested without wasting any time. Chapter 730: Refining pills using monster peach

Chapter 730: Refining pills using monster peach

Inside one of the rooms of the huge tree, ''Gloom angelica, Night ambrosia, Arctic bloom'' Ajax searched through his alchemy knowledge and after carefully calcting the reactions of those alchemy ingredients, he came to a conclusion. ording to the properties of the ingredients, Ajax selected three ingredients which could enhance the life energy and the properties of the main ingredient into the pill. For that, he had to refine the three ingredients at the same time and mix their essence with good quality water. ''As for the good quality water, I can use the mini-thunder pool''s water,'' Ajax started calcting the alchemy refining process in his mind for a couple of times to boost his confidence. ''Luckily, I have all the ingredients needed to start my refining,'' Ajax really felt he was lucky to have all the required ingredients in his inventory and thought, ''If I didn''t loot the scammer into the dimensional crevice, I would not have the Gloom angelica and if not for the lightning hawk tribe, the other two ingredients were very hard to find in the Zrochester province.'' ''Nevertheless, I would have used other ingredients with the same properties. Although it would have decreased the efficiency of the pill that would not make much difference,'' Ajax silently thought in his head. "Time to refine," Finally, Ajax thought to refine the pills using monster peach along with other ingredients. However, a sudden thought shed in his head making him fall into the dillemma. The thought is ''Why don''t I add mid-level spirit stone into the mix as a catalyst''. The reason for this thought was because of the advanced essence pills. When he was refining the essence pills, he added the mid-level spirit stone which increased the effectiveness of the essence pills by multiple folds. Moreover, the mid-level spirit stone increases the sess rate of the refining for some unknown reason. So, without any hesitation, he thought of adding a mid-level spirit stone. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he started using the medium fire refining technique and the essence of nature starteding out of his body. ''Fire should be the extension of the my hands'' ''Fire should be the cauldron'' . . . . After upgrading the basic fire refining technique into medium fire refining technique, his understanding over ''Fire'' also increased as he muttered to himself until the fire transformed into a cauldron. ''Two stalks of Night ambrosia,'' ''One stalk of Gloom angelica,'' ''And two Arctic bloom flowers,'' Soon, he threw three ingredients into the cauldron in an appropriate ratio and started refining them to collect their essences. Currently, Ajax is using a method named as essence collector. In this method, all the ingredients were thrown into the cauldron and as long as the alchemist controls the fire properly, all the essence will flow out of the ingredients and mix together on their own. As for the residue of the ingredients, they would act as the fuel for the me and without hindering the process. "One liter water," When he sensed the essence of all ingredients were mixed, Ajax poured one liter water from the mini-thunder realm pool which he had prepared in advance. ''Shh'' ''Gur gud gul'' As soon as he poured thunder realm''s pool water into the furnace made up of fire, it started boiling. ''Now, it''s time to refine the monster peach,'' With a thought, a monster peach appeared in his hand and at the same time, the fire came out of his hand before swallowing the fruit. ''I have to be careful while extracting the essence from the monster peach,'' At the point of time, he had to divide his focus into two parts, a major one and a minor one. Major focus will be on the extracting monster peach whereas the minor focus will be on the fire cauldron. If he messed up extracting the essence of monster peach, then everything would be in vain because extractingthe essence from the monster peach is differentpared to extracting the essence from other alchemy ingredients. Nevertheless, with the help of alchemy maniac title, he knew what he had to do. ''Ding, Extracting essence from a special fruit, monster peach. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with one lottery chance. Just as he finished the extraction, the system rewarded him with a lottery chance which made him reveal a slight smile; however, he didn''t dare to rx as he continued wiith the next step of the process which is to add the essence to the cauldron. ''Shakes'' As soon as he added the monster peach''s essence to the cauldron filled with other essences and thunder realm''s pool water, the fire cauldron started shaking as though the reaction was unstable and it would st at any time. Seeing that, he became anxious and hurriedly threw a mid-level spirit stone into the fire cauldron. Soon, the fire cauldron stopped shaking and became stable. ''Sigh...after this mid-level spirit stone, I will only have one more in my inventory. I swear, I should use the remaining mid-level spirit stone for refining the advanced essence pills.'' Actually, he stored the mid-level spirit stone for the sake of refining the advanced essence pill; however, he already used two of three mid-level spirit stones which left him with only one mid-level spirit stone. So, he swore that he would use it for refining the advanced essence pills only. Nevertheless, he would be happy, if the pills he was going to refine have some additional effects on them. ''Burn'' After throwing the mid-level spirit stone, the fire cauldron waspletely sealed and Aajx started increasing the intensity of the falme. ''Ting'' ''Phew'' After exactly 10 minutes, he heard a sound that made him heave a sigh of relief. As for the pills inside the fire cauldron, he was confident enough that the alchemy process was sessful even without the system notification. Also, he was sure that there were more than two pills inside them making him unconsciously smile from ear to ear. ''Ding, Soon, his head was filled with ding sounds; however, he didn''t bother with them as he hurriedly collected the pills from the fire cauldron into alchemy bottles before rushing out of the room with an excited smile on his face. .... In the Eternal Garden secret realm, "It''s been only twelve hours and they already progreed multiple minor realms," "As long as they maintain this speed, they might reach the peak of the general realm," "Even if the effectiveness of the essence pool decrease, reaching the cultivation of level 8 general realm is very much possible for everyone," All the vagrant cultivators looked at a pool that waspletely filled with mist made up of the essence of nature and discussed among themselves. "As for Levi, he would definitely enter the top 10 in the champions contest," They were shocked by Levi''s cultivation speed. Compared to others, his cultivation talent was much higher, to begin with, and with the addition of a suitable heaven grade cultivation technique, it increased even more. Moreover, they thought that since his cultivation was already level 3 elite general realm, his progress would be slow, however, he already entered level mid-stage level 4 elite general realm in just 12 hours and within another 12 hours, he would definitely enter level 5 elite general realm. Chapter 731: Saving Keshe

Chapter 731: Saving Keshe

An 18-year old young man with a cultivation of level 5 elite general realm. If the word spreads out, then it would shock the entire province. "However, don''t forget that the powers of the Zrochester province have the support from the other province. So, their youngsters might get the monster peach or other cultivation resources with simr properties," The guild master didn''t forget about the backing of the powers of the Zrochester province who takes this champions contest seriously. However, what the guild master and others didn''t know was they already took the champions contest very seriouslypared to other previous champions contests for some unknown reason. "Anyway, let''s hope that our personal disciples have the ability to protect themselves in the champions contest," Elder Ramon gave his thoughts as he watched the progress of each and every young cultivator. Just like him, everyone stopped discussing and observed the changes happening inside the young cultivators. .... Inside the tree trunk, "Ajax, did you refine the pills?" As soon as Ajax came out of his room, Geron and Ceru anxiously asked him because, within these 20 minutes, Keshe and the Brave''s condition became even severe. Moreover, their faces started bing lifeless, and just with a single nce, Ajax could say that he didn''t have much time to waste. So, he nodded his head at Geron and Ceru before walking towards Keshe and the dark lion king. ''I hope everything goes right,'' While praying heavens, Ajax took out two pills from his inventory and tossed them into the victims'' mouths. ''All we have to do now is to wait,'' Since he did everything he was supposed to do. Ajax waited for the pills to take effect. It didn''t take much time for Ajax and others to notice the changes on the faces of Keshe and Dark lion king. ''Ding, Mission name:- Save the princess. Status:- Completed. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission. The reward ''Energy orb'' will be sent to the host''s spirit consciousness in a short while. ''Ding, King Geron is extremely grateful to you and no matter what you ask him, he would do it for you (Except for harming his daughter and his kingdom). Once Keshe and Brave''s faces got the liveliness, Ajax''s head was filled with a series of system notifications making him heave a sigh of relief. "King Geron, big sister Keshe ispletely alright," Ajax could see the happiness on Geron''s face after hearing Ajax''s words and he knew that Geron would do anything for him. "Thank you, young master Ajax, for saving my daughter and Brave," Geron fell to his knees and continued saying, "In the future, if you need help with anything, don''t forget to look for me. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate." For him, Keshe was everything. So, there was no shame or whatsoever in his while kneeling in front of Ajax. Moreover, he addressed Ajax as a young master as though he was lowering his status and increasing Ajax''s status. "King Geron, there is no need to say such things. I did everything because I consider her as my big sister. So, of course, I will help her," Ajax hurriedly helped King Geron to stand up and continued to say, "If you don''t mind, can I go and rest now. I am feeling very tired." He was really tired after everything he had done today and asked for a room. "Ceru, take him to my room," Geron didn''t hesitate to give his room to Ajax because the life energy in his room was the second-best ce in this huge tree. As for the first one, it is, of course, their current room which is Keshe''s cultivation room. Ajax didn''t say anything because the only thing he wanted to do right was to take a rest and quietly followed behind Ceru before summoning Spirus into his inner world. "By the way, King Geron, can you keep about Spirus as a secret from others," After taking a couple of steps, Ajax asked Geron not to divulge the information about Spirus because he didn''t want others to know about Spirus. "Okay," King Geron knew why Ajax didn''t want others to know about it. For a summoner, hiding the abilities of his elemental spirit is the most important thing. So, he nodded his head. ... ''This room is good.'' After Ceru left, Ajax muttered to himself as he went to sleep without thinking about anything. ... "Brother Geron, their cultivation is increasing at an incredible speed," Ceru returned to the room where Keshe and Brave were ced and the first thing he noticed aftering back was the rapid progress in the cultivations of Keshe and the dark lion king. After the re-cultivation process, their cultivation fell back to level 1 soldier realm and so, with the help of the life energy from the pill, Keshe and Dark lion king''s progress in cultivation was too fast. Within just a couple of minutes, they reached level 1 elite soldier realm. Within one hour after consuming the pill, they entered the level 1mander realm and in the next three hours, they reached level 1 elitemander realm. After reaching the level 1 elitemander realm, the progress in their cultivation decreased by a lot; however,pared to the regr cultivation speed, it was much faster. By the time, Ajax woke up, both of them reached level 5 general realm which was equivalent to mid-stage rank 5 for the spirit beasts. ''Ding, The host only has an hour left before the vagrant cultivatorse out of the eternal garden secret realm. And the reason he woke up was because of the system notification. When he left the vagrant cultivators, Ajax asked the system to inform him one hour before they came out of the secret realm. So, as soon as he heard that he woke from his sleep because he didn''t want to miss thest stage of the special training. ''I wonder how the guild master''s secret realm looks like,'' This was the only thought in his head and the only reason he wanted to participate in thest step of the special training. The guild master was the leader of the vagrant cultivators and the most powerful one among them. He was already excited when he visited the other vagrant cultivators'' secret realms. So, he wanted to see how his secret realm would be. ''Since I still have more than an hour before theye out of the ''Eternal garden'', I will check the? previous system notifications regarding my alchemy refining of pills from the monster peach,'' When hepleted the refining process, his head was filled with many system notifications; however, he didn''t have the time to read them because he was in a hurry to dave Keshe and the dark lion king. Later, he was so tired of checking them. But now, he had the time to check. So, he asked the system, ''System, show me...'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for not killing Lechner and for giving him the second chance system feature. Before he couldplete his sentence, a system notification rang in his head that gave him a pleasant surprise; however, the system notifications continued to ring in his head. Chapter 732: Sacred Cultivation System, Courage

Chapter 732: Sacred Cultivation System, Courage

''Ding, Lechnerpleted his trials inside the second chance and will be sent out in a couple of minutes. ''Ding, 5000 units of the essence of nature will be refunded to the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, For giving a second chance to the right person, the host will be rewarded with a lottery chance as per the rule. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully gaining the third follower. A lottery chance is rewarded ording to the follower tab''s conditions. ''Ding, Since the host was sessful with his choices in the ''second chance'' system feature, the cultivation system for the cultivators came out of the second chance. Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with non-stop system notifications making him dumbfounded; however, he knew why he was rewarded with lottery chances and it was not the system being generous here. For each right choice he made in the ''second chance'' system feature and for each follower he got, he would be given a lottery chance by default. With the one lottery chance he got from extracting the essence from the monster peach, currently, he has 3 lottery chances; however, he didn''t have any thoughts to use them for now. ''Finally, I can know the cultivation system of Justice and Lechner,'' Among all the system notifications, thest one made him more excited because he wanted to know more about the cultivation system, killing the evil beings. ''Swoosh'' By the time he finished reading all the new system notifications, Lechner appeared in front of him out of nowhere. "Greetings, master," As soon as he appeared, he observed his surroundings before bowing in front of Ajax and greeted him. "Hello," Ajax was not surprised with the sudden appearance of Lechner because it was not his first time experiencing it. Ajax greeted back and checked his modified information to find out about his cultivation with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, Old name:- Lechner. New name:- Not given yet Cultivation:- Level 1 sacred soldier. Cultivation technique:- None Skills:- Yet to learn. There was not much information about the Lecher because he just had a re-birth and if he was lucky, he might awaken one or two skills from his older self; however, chances of happening that awakening are very low. The most important thing about the ''second chance'' system feature was it could restore the broken spirit consciousness; however, they have to ovee all the trials and tribtions in the second chance before that. ''Level 1 sacred soldier?'' Finally, he got to know the term used for the cultivation; however, he wasn''t satisfied with just a single term as he wanted to know more about it and asked the system, ''System, exin to me about this cultivation system.'' ''Ding, A sacred cultivation system is a?special type of cultivation system in which the cultivation will be gained by killing evil beings. ''Ding, The cultivators who are using this type of cultivation system will be unable to learn any type of cultivation system. ''Huh?'' Ajax already knew about the first system notification; however, the second system notification made him frown. ''System, why Justice was able to learn the cultivation technique and at the same time, he could also increase his cultivation with the help of essence of nature,'' Ajax remembered that back in his special training, Justice cultivation progressed making him a little confused. ''Ding, Sometimes, these cultivators can practice two cultivation systems. For that, they need to be geniuses. ''So, you are saying that Justice is a genius among geniuses?'' Ajax asked with an excited smile; however, his excited smile froze halfway with the system''s next notification. ''Ding, No. Justice can only cultivate one cultivation system and that is the Sacred cultivation system. ''Then, how can his cultivation progressed in the special training?'' Ajax instantly asked another question to the system. ''Ding, It is the energy he gained from killing the evil beings in hisst fight and with the special training, that energy was absorbed faster than he should be. ''Oh. So, it is like that,'' Finally, Ajax understoodpletely about the Sacred cultivation system and checked its ssification and how many evil beings, Justice and Lechner have to kill to progress to the next realm. ''Ding, Killing 200 evil beings of the same cultivation will increase their cultivation by one level. After that, it will be increased to 300, 400¡­. and 1000 to enter level 10. ''Ding, To enter into another realm, he has to kill an evil being from the next major realm when he was at level 10. After reading the system notifications, Ajax understood why Justice''s cultivation speed was so high when he killed the demon servants who have elitemander realm and general realm cultivations. "Will he get any skills? If not, he will remain weak forever, right?" Since Lechner and Justice can''t learn the cultivation techniques, they will be weak no matter how high their cultivation will be. ''Ding, For every two major realms, they will awaken a skill rted to exterminating evil and at the same for every elite realm, they would either gain aprehension of a cultivation technique that is not useful for cultivating or into any other profession. "Haha...nice," Ajax startedughing when he read thest system notification and stopped pondering about the cultivation system because he got theplete information of what he wanted to know. "Since you are not the old Lechner anymore, I will name you as Courage," Ajax re-named Lechner as Courage with the same naming sense of Justice. Since Lechner was courageous enough to enter the assassination circle and waited for its destruction even when he knew that he would be killed if he was found, it was a courageous feat that made Ajax re-name with that name. ''Aargh'' Just as he stood up from the bed and stretched his body, Lechner let out a painful groan and fell to the ground. ''Huh? What happened to him? Did he fall down because of the bad smell from my body?'' Since he was currently raising his hands, Ajax thought in his head; however, after checking it, he muttered, ''I am not smelling that much. It must be something else.'' He hurriedly went forward to check on him. ''Ding, The system suggests the host not disturb Courage as he was currently awakening a skill. ''Woah'' Ajax stopped halfway as he just started at Courage hoping that he would awaken a good skill. Actually, when ites to awakening new skills, except for enduring the pain, no one can help them. ''Ding, Awakening of Courage''s first skill isplete. Soon, Ajax got the confirmation from the system and at the same time, Lechner''s painful groans also came to an end. ''Courage, take some rest,'' His face waspletely filled with sweat because Courage''s current strength is very low and he could not endure pain as much as he used to do. So, he asked Courage to take some rest. Moreover, Ajax also knew that if the awakening process is so painful, then powerful skills will be awakened. ''Let''s see his new skill,'' Soon, Ajax opened Courage''s information page and checked for his first skill. ''Ding, Name:- Courage Skill:- Son of heavens (Level 1). Ajax was visibly surprised by the new skill which sounded cool and hurriedly focused on the skill. Chapter 733: Son of heavens

Chapter 733: Son of heavens

Soon, with a thought, the information about Courage''s first skill appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Skill name:- Son of heavens (Level 1). Skill type:- Passive Effect:- The kill requirement to progress into the next level will be reduced to half. Information:- When the skill is upgraded to high-level, some cool effects will be unlocked. Note:- Not upgradable by the essence of nature. ''Good effect for a level 1 skill. I?wonder what type of effects will be avable in the future though,'' What piqued his interest was the ''information'' section. Nevertheless, Ajax could only wait until the skill levels up on its own. ''Now, it''s time to check the notifications from the refining process,'' Ajax opened the inbox and checked for the old system notifications which he didn''t read. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining a quasi-rank 5 pills. ''Ding, The host''s alchemy rank is increased to quasi-rank 5 with a slight increase in his refining process. ''Ding, Since it was the host''s first time refining a quasi-rank 5 pill in a single attempt, the host will be rewarded with double the number of pills he refined in the earlier refining process. ''What? So, it is the reason, why I got some many pills,'' Ajax finally understood why he got 10 pills from the earlier refinement. That''s right! He got a total of 10 pills which had the same effects as the monster peach. ''So, I got 5 pills in original and because of the special reward from the system, I got 10 pills...Good,'' Ajax nodded his head and he was quite excited because of his new alchemist rank which is quasi-rank 5 and just an inch away from entering rank 5. Nevertheless, he continued to check more system notifications. ''Ding, The host has refined a new pill with his own new recipe. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a lottery chance in the lottery tab. ''Although the lottery chances became normal rewards for me, they are still useful as I?never know what kind of good reward I will get from it.'' At this point in time, Ajax felt that lottery chance became the mostmon type of reward. However, he got many good things from the lottery tab too. So, he was more than happy to receive those rewards. ''Ding, Please name the pill you refined, host. Just as he was feeling satisfied with the rewards, Ajax got a new system notification which made him reveal a slight smile on his face. "I will name it monster peach pill," Ajax didn''t want to think about it and casually named the pills since the monster peach was the main ingredient and all the pills have the same effects as the monster peach. ''Monster peach pill,'' With a thought, the pills bottle which contained light green coloured pills inside it appeared in his hands. ''Ding, .?Item name:- Monster peach pills Effect:- Increases the cultivation of humans who are in the general realm by one major realm. Note:- The increment in cultivation varies from person to person on many factors like cultivation talent, cultivation speed, level in the general realm. Even though the effect of the monster peach pill was good, in his heart, Ajax thought that the pills might have an additional effect because his medium fire refining control technique had a small chance of adding an additional effect to the refined pill. However, who would have thought that monster peach pills he refined were quasi-rank 5 pill making his medium fire refining control technique invalid. ''Anyway, it''s already good I was able to refine 5 pills with the help of mid-level spirit stone,'' Ajax guessed that the mid-level spirit stone was the main reason for five pills andter it was doubled by the system as his reward. "Currently, I?have 8 more pills. So, let''s keep one pill aside for me and I can exchange these 7 pills with vagrant cultivators and others for other cultivation resources," The greedy personality which was hidden inside him for so long came out after seeing the monster peach pills and decided to sell those pills. As for why he chose vagrant cultivators because they would give these pills to their personal disciples. ''No matter how much those powerful sects give me for these pills, I will not sell them,'' No matter how greedy he was, he didn''t want to sell these pills to the top powers of the Zrochester province. With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked back to the ce where Keshe and Brave were ced. Behind him, Lechner...no, Courage in his brand new white coloured robes, walked without saying anything. Even though Ajax asked him to take some rest, Courage said he was perfectly alright and followed behind Ajax. "Big sister Keshe," The moment he entered the room, he froze in his steps because he saw both Keshe and the dark lion king woke up from their unconscious state. As for King Geron and Ceru, their faces were filled with smiles after seeing Keshe and Brave waking up from their unconscious state. "Little brother Ajax," Keshe looked at Ajax with an excited smile and started saying, "I heard you are the one who saved me. Thank you so much." She came forward and hugged him while thanking him with a face full of gratitude. Even though Keshe looked the same as before, Ajax knew the current Keshe is not using a human form; instead, it was her permanent form from now onwards. "Thank you so much, Ajax," The dark lion king, who re-cultivated into human form was an 18-year old young man in ck robes with a ck coloured scarf around his neck, walked towards Ajax and thanked him. The scarf around his neck reminded Ajax about the mane on the dark lion king and at the same time, he thought, ''Maybe this scarf is his awakened artifact.'' And another thing, he noticed was their cultivation. Both Keshe and Brave had the same cultivation of level 6 general realm which gave quite a surprise. ording to the effects of the pills, they have to reach the elite general realm; however, since they consumed the pill when they only had the cultivation of level 1 soldier realm, he understood. However, it raised another question in his mind which was answered by the system without taking any essence of nature. ''Ding, Their condition was a little different; however, the system suggests you do not give these pills to anyone below the general realm; otherwise, their spirit consciousness will explode by the energy stored inside the pill. ''Oh'' Ajax slightly nodded his head as he came out of his thoughts. "Haha" Ajax didn''t reject the thanks and epted them and asked Brave, "Big brother Brave, is that your re-cultivated artifact?" "Yes," Brave was not surprised at Ajax''s knowledge about knowing awakened artifacts and weapons because he was present with Keshe when she met Elder Boron. "What about you, big sister Keshe? Did you awaken some cool artifacts or weapons?" Ajax didn''t ask about the scarf because he already saw the effects of the scarf which give him quite a shock. So, he shifted his attention to Keshe''s awakened artifacts. However, this could not be taken away from the halographic screen which has the effects of Brave''s scarf. . Chapter 734: Results of fifth stage of special training

Chapter 734: Results of fifth stage of special training

''Ding, Artifact name:- Dark lion emperor''s scarf Grade:- Peak heaven grade (Evolvable) Effects:- 1) can bind multiple enemies of the same cultivation of the re-cultivated spirit beast. 2) Consumes the dead bodies of other beings to extract the life energy andter gives that life energy to the owner to increase his cultivation. It was just a recently awakened artifact and it has two good effects and in the future, its effects will be even more powerful. "I awakened one artifact and one weapon," Soon, Keshe answered his question which made him surprised for a moment. ''Ding, Weapon Name:- Bow of terror. Grade:- level heaven. Effects:- 1) Once the target is set, the arrow never misses the target. 2) As long as the arrow makes even a scratch on the enemy, they will have nightmares. Information:- With the help of the essence of nature, the arrow will be formed continuously. ''Ding, Artifact Name:- Pendant of the fairy queen. Grade:- Low-level heaven Effects:- Replenishes 100 units of the essence of nature for every one minute. Information:- A good artifact that supports the usage of the bow of terror. As soon as Keshe answered Ajax''s question, she took out a ck coloured bow with green markings on it and touched the green coloured pendant around her neck. With a nce, Ajax got to know theplete information on both items. "Woah" Ajax gave an excited reaction just like a little child as though he had seen some good things. "Ajax, once again, I thank you for saving Keshe and Brave," While Ajax was talking with Keshe and Brave, King Geron and Ceru walked towards them and thanked him for the Nth time. Hearing their thanks, Ajax bitterly shook his head because he was tired of hearing that ''Thanks'' for so many times now. "Father, now you can re-cultivate using the same re-cultivation technique," Seeing the bitter smile on Ajax''s face, Keshe could not help but smile and interject with her father''s words before asking him to re-cultivate. "So, I will take my leave now as I have something important to do," Before King Geron could give a reply, Ajax said that he would leave them. "Yeah...yeah. We know you are very busy," When she heard those words, Keshe was a little irritated; however, she didn''t stop Ajax from leaving and asked him toe again afterpleting his work. "Yes, I wille back here for sure," Ajax had many things to do in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. So, after the champions contest is finished, he would be staying in the inner section of the cursed wilderness most of the time. Then, he could visit her more often. After bidding his goodbyes to Keshe and others, waited at the border of the middle section and the outer section of the cursed wilderness which was the rendezvous point for him and the vagrant cultivators. ''There are few more minutes left before theye out of the Eternal garden,'' Ajax patiently waited for them as he thought about the secret realms. He didn''t know exactly where these secret realms were situated; however, almost all the entrances to these secret realms were in the cursed wilderness. However, except for increasing his cultivation, he thought everything would wait. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he saw the livid griffining from the distance and revealed a smile. He didn''t give any signal about his current location because he knew that the vagrant cultivators were strong enough to sense his presence. ''What should I say about him?'' Ajax looked at Courage beside him and shook his head and said, "Go and meet Darbudr. Request his help to increase your cultivation by killing the evil beings from the cursed abyss." With Courage tagged along with him, he would not gain any cultivation. So, he asked him to meet Darbaudr in the mercenary guild before jumping onto the livid griffin. "How is your trip, Ajax?" As soon as he mounted the live griffin, the guild master asked him about his trip. "Good" Ajax was satisfied with his earlier trip because hepleted many things and as a bonus, he got an energy orb which he stored in his spirit consciousness. He wanted to wait until he got an energy orb. So that he could break through into the general realm in a single go and after that, he could consume the monster peach pills to reach the level 1 elite general realm. ''Also, I can enter the elemental spirit world to form the official contract with space elemental spirit,'' Other than the champions contest, Ajax was excited to enter the elemental spirit world to form a contract with as many elemental spirits as possible with the help of the space elemental spirit. Since he had already convinced the space elemental spirit to form an official contract, he could save many times. Also, previously he requested Prophis to find some elemental spirits which are easy to convince. "I hope, I can form an unofficial contract with more than five elemental spirits," Just thinking about it was making him quite excited. "Congrattions to everyone, your cultivation increased to such a high level," He was genuinely happy for them because in this world, if there is no strength, then they would die who knows when. So, after checking their cultivations, he congratted them. Edmond''s nine adopted children had reached the cultivation of level 8 general realm with the help of nine-men awakening which boosted each other''s cultivation among those nine young cultivators. Lewis, Jeff reached level 6 general realm and Neil''s cultivation progressed very much; however, he was still unable to cross others with cultivation of level 5 general realm. Paulin''s reached level 9 and only an inch away from entering the level 10 general realm. Among all the personal disciples, Levi''s progress was huge. Even though he already had high cultivation, he progressed by two levels and reached the level 5 elite general realm. "It''s all thanks to you Ajax, their progress was more than what we had expected," The guild master interrupted Ajax''s thoughts as he exined how they were able to reach such high cultivation realms. "Yes, Ajax. After adding the thunder realm''s pool water and crushing the mid-level spirit stone into the essence pool, the purity of the essence of nature increased by multiple times," Elder Ramon exined in a more detailed way making Ajax smile. "Thank you, Ajax." All of a sudden, all the young cultivators thanked Ajax. "Haha" Hearing that, Ajax could not help butugh and said, "Let''s do our best in thest stage of special training." He shouted out loud to motivate himself and other young cultivators. "Yes, let''s do it," All the young cultivators shouted back with great excitement in their voices. Seeing that, the vagrant cultivators could not help but reveal the satisfied smiles on their faces thinking that the environment should be like this. So that everyone would be motivated to increase their cultivation. "By the way, guild master, what is thest stage of the special cultivation?" Even though Ajax was curious about the guild master''s secret realm, he asked about thest stage of special training. "Why don''t you take a guess? Hehe," The guild master didn''t answer Ajax and asked him to take a guess. Chapter 735: Myraid Haven

Chapter 735: Myraid Haven

''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows as he started thinking about the stages of the special training thatpleted so far. ''Increased the soul power in order to resist the mental/soul attacks,'' ''Increased the raw strength of the body,'' ''Experienced battles with some spirit beasts,'' ''Increased the level of the skills and cultivation techniques throughprehension,'' ''In the fifth stage, all the young cultivators increased their cultivation. So, what is left that could help us increase our battle prowess?'' Ajax didn''t think for much time before finding out what might be the sixth stage of special training. "Is it rted to weapons?" Ajax answered the guild master with a confident smile on his face. "Correct" The guild master nodded his head as he continued exining, "For a cultivator, the weapon is as important as the main cultivation technique. If you don''t have either one of them, then you are not going to win in any fight unless your opponent''s strength is two major realms less than yours." What the guild master said is right! With a good weapon, the cultivator''s battle prowess will match one major realm higher. So, everyone wants a good weapon along with a weapon dao for it. "Before saying about thest stage of your special training, let me tell you about my secret realm," All of a sudden, a portal appeared in the mid-air and swallowed Livid griffin into it. "Aargh" The young cultivators didn''t expect to be swallowed by the sudden portal and unconsciously shouted. "Everyone, wee to my secret realm, Myriad Haven," Soon, they appeared in a vast area with trees, mountains, spirit beasts living into hordes, and many more things that made them surprised. The speaker of those words was none other than the guild master and when he mentioned the name of the secret realm, there was a proud expression on his face. "Cool" As for the young cultivators, they were mesmerized by the pure essence of nature in the secret realm. The essence of nature is even purer than Ramon''s eternal garden. "So, let me exin about the special training then," The guild master allowed the young cultivators to check their surroundings for a while before saying, "There are many weapon caves in my secret realm. Actually, there are only two weapon caves that were in the secret realm before I im this secret realm; however, in thest 20 years, I searched for many other weapon-rted caves in the Zrochester province and shifted them to my secret realm." "There are almost all weapon caves in my secret realm except for some special weapons like a scythe, mace, etc. So, you can freely choose a weapon cave for yourself." He gave a short introduction of the weapon caves and said, "Choose a weapon cave you want to enter and increase your weapon dao to grade 3 within the next two days." ''Woah'' When they heard the ''Grade 3 weapon dao'', almost all the young cultivators'' eyes sparkled with excitement because a grade 3 weapon dao is the penultimate pinnacle of the Zrcoehster province. As for the pinnacle of the weapon dao in the Zrochester province, it was grade 4 and it was onlyprehended by a few powerful cultivators like the vagrant cultivators, sect leaders, and the old monsters of the royal family. Moreover, even the great families'' heads are still in peak grade 3 weapon daos only. From this, one can understand how difficult it is to reach grade 4 much less grade 5. "Onest suggestion before you select your weapon caves," The guild master suggested, "If you already have a grade 2 dao in a specific weapon, then don''t choose the same weapon cave; instead, choose another weapon cave which you like." "Huh?" Hearing those words, all the young cultivators became confused and looked at the guild master as though they were waiting for him to exin it in a more detailed way. "The weapon caves in my secret realm have an 80% chance to help you reach the grade 3 from grade 0 weapon dao. So, it will be a waste of opportunity to use a weapon dao which is already at grade 2. It is not bad to have two weapon dao which will help you in the champions contest," The guild master gave his thoughts and ended his exnation with, "In the end, it is your decision to choose." "Yes, guild master. We will do as you say," Finally, everyone understood the guild master''s words and nodded their heads before thinking about their second-best weapon. ''Looks like I will be going to learn another weapon dao, I am going to learn today,'' As for Ajax, he revealed a slight smile as he started thinking about which weapon he should choose for his third weapon dao. Currently, Ajax already has two weapon dao, namely, the sword dao and the spear dao. Moreover, both of them have already reached grade 3. ''Anyway, having multiple weapon dao is really convenient,'' After getting used to two weapon daos, Ajax really liked the feeling of using those two weapons in the fight. So, he felt it was very good to have multiple weapon daos. "By the way, guild master, what are the two natural weapon caves?" Since the guild master said there were two natural weapon caves, he wanted to know about them. If there is a natural weapon cave of other weapons than sword and spear, he decided to give it a try. "One natural cave belongs to sword dao," "As for the second one, it is of battle axe," The first answer made Ajax a little disappointed; however, the second made him reveal an excited smile. ''That''s it¡­.you will be my next weapon dao,'' He didn''t think much before selecting the second natural weapon cave. "Guild master, I will enter that battle-axe weapon cave," Soon, he gave his answer to the guild master. "Ajax, before that, let me tell you something," the guild master didn''t know whether he should smile or cry but still he exined, "Since it is a natural weapon cave, you might lose your life inside it. Even after hearing this, you want to enter it, then you can go." The warning was not only for Ajax, it was for everyone, and those who thought to choose the natural weapon caves were having second thoughts including Ajax. Since he just wants to learn another weapon dao for fun, he didn''t want to risk his life when he could get another weapon dao without any danger to his life. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please open the quest tab to check more details. ''Damn it...I knew the system will force me to do this,'' Ajax could guess what the mission would be and continued to think, ''I will reject the mission if the reward is not good.'' Nowadays, the missions generated by the system have no restrictions and if he didn''t like the mission, he could reject it. "I will choose a sword cave," "I will go for spear cave," "Short sword" "Hammer" "Halberd" "Saber" . . . .While Ajax was about to check the mission details before selecting a weapon cave, all the young cultivators started choosing a weapon cave. Chapter 736: Tempting Mission

Chapter 736: Tempting Mission

Soon, a halographic screen appeared in front of Ajax with theplete mission details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Explore natural weapon cave. Condition:- The host needs to reach grade 3 weapon dao for the battle axe. Reward:- Chance to form an extra additional contract with the general realm slot. Danger rating:- A ''What the...'' Ajax, who was thinking to reject the mission, was shocked to see the reward. ''I am going toplete this mission at any cost,'' He didn''t even bother to check the mission name or what he had to do toplete the mission; however, after checking out the reward, Ajax was adamant aboutpleting the mission. ''Oh. So, it is to explore the cave and learn a new weapon before increasing it to grade 3¡­.Nice,'' After checking out the reward, Ajax read about the mission and without any hesitation, he chose toplete the mission. ''As long as I sessfullyplete this mission with a good clearance rating, then I will get three benefits which will help me further,'' As soon as came to a conclusion, he informed the guild master, "Guild master, I will enter the battle-ax weapon cave." As for the three benefits, they were:- 1) He will learn a new weapon dao which increases another trump card under his sleeves. 2) He will get an additional official elemental spirit which means he would get an additional official skill. 3) With a good clearance rating, he would get an energy orb which would help him break through to the general realm. Moreover, he was waiting for some ''A'' danger rating mission, and when the system sends those missions, why would he reject them? "Are you sure about it?" The guild master asked Ajax one more time regarding his selection. "Yes, guild master," Ajax''s face filled with confidence as he replied to the guild master, who didn''t say anything after that. Soon, the livid griffin flew from one cave to another while leaving behind one or two young cultivators there. "Levi, are you sure about entering the battle-axe cave?" Other than Ajax, Levi also chose the battle-axe weapon cave to gain the weapon dao into it. So, Levi''s master Seward asked him before jumping down from the livid griffin. Since Levi was already so powerful, Seward and others felt that it is risky to enter the natural weapon cave because the difficulty in the cave depends on the cultivation of an individual. If a high-level cultivator enters the natural weapon cave, he would be greatly suppressed because all the vagrant cultivators had experienced that feeling 20 years back. "Yes, master. If I don''t give it a try, I will regret my entire life over this. So, I hope you can understand it, master," Levi politely replied to his master and was convinced before he and Ajax jumped down. As for the other natural cave, it was selected by Justice''s brother Neil who has the lowest cultivation among all and it was suggested by his master, Elder Ramon. Neil was still just a child and he didn''tprehend any type of weapon. So, ording to Elder Ramon, it is a good opportunity for Neil to enter the natural cave. Actually, almost everyone had already had a grade 1 or grade 2 weapon dao in the sword because it is mostmonly used in the Zrochester province. So, no one entered that cave except for Neil. .... Inside a huge cave, "Ajax, looks like, we have toprehend the weapon dao from those markings," As soon as they entered the cave, Ajax and Levi noticed the weapon marks left by a battle axe. Along with weapon marks, there were some drawings on the walls as though it was showing a battle-axe attack technique. "Looks like it," Ajax already had some experience with the weapon dao learned by the weapon marks. So, he assumed the same. "Senior brother Levi, there are some words at the bottom of the wall," Ajax and Levi hurriedly rushed towards there and started reading those lines. Those were written in amonly usednguage and they were easily able to read them and understood what they had to do. "Maybe, it was written by the vagrant cultivators," Ajax said to Levi and without waiting for Levi''s answer, he looked for something in a cave. "Senior brother Levi, I found them," Soon, he went to one corner of the cave and removed the dried grass before taking out two wooden battle-axes. "Good...let''s start then," They already knew what to do and Levi took one battle axe from Ajax''s hands and started following the movements from the drawings on the wall. Simrly, Ajax also started swinging the movements. ...¡­. Different weapon caves have different patterns to follow to gainprehension into the weapon dao and in each weapon dao, there was a clear record of what to do. Since it was just training and not a trial, the vagrant cultivators made things easy for their disciples. So that they could gainprehension of the weapon dao as soon as possible. "As long as they gain a grade 3 weapon dao, they would be on equal terms even with a level 1 elite general realm cultivators," "Yes," "By the way, Esmund, did you bring the peak heaven grade weapons from your collections?" "Yes, guild master," "Good...as long as they finish their special training and reach the grade 3 weapon dao, then we will allow them to pick their weapons," The guild master and Esmund talked about the weapons to give their personal disciples after the special training is finished. All the participants from the top powers will have good weapons in the champions contest. So how could they allow their personal disciple to not have any good weapons? "One more thing, before I dropped Ajax at the weapon cave, he said that he will exchange some good pills which have the same effects as the monster peach. So, I ask everyone to bring out all the good things you have hidden for the exchange," ''What'' All of a sudden, the guild master''s words caused a smallmotion among the vagrant cultivators. Nevertheless, they were ready to exchange those pills. "Sure¡­.." The guild master didn''t wait for them toplete their lines and said, "He said that he only has limited pills on him. So, depending on the number of pills, let''s take a lucky draw. What do you say?'' It is very difficult to give limited resources to everyone. And moreover, the guild master didn''t want any internal fighting after they exchanged the pills from Ajax. So, he was making everything clear before they could even start the exchange. "Why don''t we bid for those pills?" All of a sudden, Elder Ramon gave his thoughts on the matter. Elder Ramon doesn''t like to give those lucky draws as he always believed that he had to work hard to get what he wanted. Moreover, he was too confident in getting at least two pills with the number of resources he had hidden from the eyes of his friends. "Yes, let''s bid for those pills," Hearing that, everyone''s eyes sparkled with excitement, and hurriedly nodded their heads. ''Why am I having a bad feeling about this?'' Elder Ramon felt something was not right with his friends. Chapter 737: Battle-axe dao

Chapter 737: Battle-axe dao

In the battle-axe weapon cave, ''Damn it, we have been practicing the battle axe for more than two hours; however, there is not a single movement in the weapon marks,'' Ajax was frustrated because he had to reach grade 3 weapon dao within 48 hours; however, even after more than two hours, they didn''t get the slightestprehension of the weapon dao. ording to the note written at the bottom of the wall, the participant has to swing the battle axe simr to the drawings mentioned on the wall. When they reach the same posture and same state of the person in the drawing, then they will gain thepression into the battle-axe weapon dao from the weapon marks to their left. ''Swoosh'' Just as he thought about it, two light beams came out from two different weapon marks and entered into Ajax and Levi at the same time. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' As soon as they entered into them, both of them copsed to the ground and let out a painful groan. ''I have to calm down...I can do it,'' Ajax already had a simr experience from the never-returning cave. So, he calmed himself down and entered into his spirit consciousness with an excited smile. ''I was waiting for you for so long,'' When he wasprehending the spear dao, the spear soul entered into his spirit consciousness and as long as he defeated it in the spirit consciousness, he would gain theprehension into that weapon dao. So, he was ready for the same thing to happen. Moreover, the same thing was also happening for Ajax making him feel that things are going so smoothly. In his spirit consciousness, A transparent huge battle axe that looked majestic with many mysterious symbols on it. ''Inheritance sword,'' Currently, in his spirit consciousness, other than that transparent huge battle axe, a white coloured spear and a shining sword with golden yellow coloured hilt were floated behind Ajax. However, he only chose the inheritance sword to find the transparent battle axe. "Swoosh" ''ng'' ''Boom'' Soon, the inheritance sword and the battle axe collided with each other, and Ajax was sted away by the impact. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the battle axe Gained 10 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. While Ajax was still rubbing his head, he noticed some white light particles entered his body. At the same time, he received a system notification which made him excited. ''Finally, it''s started,'' Ajax knew everything was going as he nned; however, the battle axe was more powerful than he thought. Moreover, he also knew that from now onwards, more transparent battle-axes woulde into his spirit consciousness. ''Let''s get ready, everyone,'' He didn''t want to allow the battle-axe toe near to him anymore. So, he ordered both his weapons to get ready and attack the battle axes as soon as they enter his spirit consciousness. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' Soon, two battle-axes appeared in his spirit consciousness, and without hesitation, he sent his two weapons to destroy them. Heaven''s destroyer spear already had a soul and as for the inheritance sword''s partial soul, which was sealed by its previous master was unlocked after using it repeatedly along with his grade 3 sword dao. Currently, both the weapons were fighting on their own against the battle axes without anymands from Ajax. Soon, two battle axes became four and four became eight. Each time he kills a battle-axe, they will be doubled and appear in his spirit consciousness. However, Ajax''s weapons were too powerful, they were able to kill all the battle axes. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the battle axe Gained 10 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the battle axe Gained 5 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the battle axe Gained 2 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. . . . .. . . .''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the battle axe Gained 1 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. Moreover, the system notifications continued to ring in his head and theprehension he was gaining by destroying the battle axes was decreased to 1 percent for a single battle axe. Even though theprehension gained had decreased, Ajax had already collected more than 90 percent ofprehension in the weapon dao. ''Damn it¡­just to reach grade 1 is already so hard, I wonder how hard it will be in theing rounds,'' Ajax muttered to himself and looked at the 16 battle axes in front of him and cursed the difficulty of the mission. If he fails to destroy the battle-axes, his spirit consciousness form will be destroyed and he will enter into an etern. So, he was careful and paid full attention to the iing battle axe. Also, whenever he destroyed a battle axe, he would distance himself from that area because the battle-axes were exploding when he destroyed them. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullyprehending his third weapon dao, battle axe. ''Ding, Grade 1 battle-axe dao is learned. Please opened the user interface to check for more details ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully learning three weapon daos. A new title is unlocked. As soon as he destroyed the 16 battle-axes in the earlier round, hisprehension had sessfully reached 100 percent and he finally learned a grade 1 battle-axe weapon dao. ''A new title?'' What surprised him was the new title; however, he didn''t have the time to check what the benefits of the title were. ''I hope it gives some good benefits,'' He didn''t bother to check them and hurriedly rushed towards a new battle-axe that appeared after he learned the grade 1 weapon dao. Surprisingly, there was only a single battle-axe which was double the size of the earlier battle-axes. ''Let''s see how powerful this battle-axe is,'' Ajax along with his two weapons rushed toward the single battle axe from the three directions in order to destroy it. ''Boom'' However, just as they reached the battle axe, it sted them away into three different directions. ''Explosion effect? Ajax finally understood the battle-axe''s effect is ''Explosion''. So, he asked his weapon, "Keep it busy. Let me check something first." ''Triiig'' The weapons replied to his words as though they understood what Ajax had said and shaken a little before rushing towards the battle-axe. ''System, open my new weapon dao,'' Ajax hurriedly asked the system because he knew that without him, these weapons won''tst for much time against the battle-axe. ''Ding, Weapon dao:- Battle axe (Grade 1) Type:- Explosive type. Effect:- 10 percent increase in the explosive power with the battle axe. Note:- Explosive power sts everything within a specific range except for the host. Just like he expected, the battle-axe dao he gained was an explosive type. ''Form'' After checking the information on his new weapon dao, Ajax closed his eyes and said a single word. As soon as he said that, theprehension he gained so far had condensed into a small transparent battle axe in front of him. "Let me help you grow you," Looking at the 10-inch long battle axes, Ajax revealed a slight smile as he rushed towards the huge battle axe to support his other two weapons. Chapter 738: Special Person

Chapter 738: Special Person

''Inheritance sword, use your ''Enemy extinction'','' Before Ajax could reach the battle-axe, he asked his inheritance sword to use a skill. That''s right! When its partial soul was awakened, the inheritance sword gained a new skill called ''Enemy extinction''. The inheritance sword''s soul was divided into three parts and stored in three different parts. Each time he collects a partial soul, the inheritance sword will gain a skill. So, in total, three powerful skills will be gained by the inheritance sword in the future. ''Triing'' The inheritance sword let out an excited sound and turned into a blur before shing right through the battle axe. ''Boom'' Before the battle axe could even st itself, the inheritance sword already appeared beside Ajax and started rotating in excitement. ''Cool'' It was the first time he used that skill and it has been a long time for the inheritance sword to use that skill. So, both of them were quite excited about it. ''But this skill is too powerful than I thought,'' The reason Ajax didn''t use this skill until now was that he felt it was powerful and it''s waste to use on the low-level battle-axes. However, after using the skill for the first time, Ajax still felt like he underestimated the skill and decided to use it when he could not destroy the battle-axes anymore. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 10 percentprehension regarding the battle-axe dao. Soon, he got a system notification of theprehension he gained by destroying the battle-axe. Unlike thest system notification, this earlier battle-axe gave him a good 10 percentprehension into grade 2 weapon dao. At this rate, I will not have any problem reaching grade 2. Generally, the cultivator has zero battle prowess when he was in his spirit consciousness form; however, Ajax was stronger because of his insane spirit consciousness capacity. So, he was able to fight the battle axes. Soon, another round of battle started between Ajax and the battle axes. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 5 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 4 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. ''This little one has grown to one meter already,'' After destroying the two battle axes, he got a couple of system notifications; however, his focus was on the small battle axe which was hovering behind him. It was only 10 inches when he materialized the sword; however, just after absorbing theprehension from the three battle-axes, it grew from 10 inches to one meter, greatly shocking Ajax. The transparent battle axe was none other than a soul formed by theprehension gained by Ajax. After using two powerful weapons with souls in them, Ajax knew how to fasten the process of awakening a soul in a new weapon. ''As long as I reach the grade 3, a soul with form in it,'' This was the small goal he set for himself. Moreover, he could check the progress of his battle-axes without the help of the system. Soon, the process repeated as new battle-axes continued to appear in his spirit consciousness which waster destroyed by him before gainingprehension into the battle-axe dao. ...¡­. Levi, who was in the same cave as Ajax, was letting out painful graons from time to time; however, it was nothing serious. Morevere, there was a smile on his face from time to time. ...¡­ Like Ajax and Levi, many others gainprehension into their second weapon dao and time passed by in a sh. "Rae, aren''t they a little too abnormal?" "Yes, Rae, we were kicked out in less than 10 hours and they were still inside the weapon cave. Do you think something has happened to them?" It''s been 36 hours since thest stage of the special training has started and to their surprise, no one was kicked out of the weapon caves. All the vagrant cultivators asked the guild master because he was the one who studied a lot about weapon caves. Moreover, it is his secret realm. So, they thought he would give some answers. "Haha," Hearing all the questions, the guild master startedughing and replied with a question, "Didn''t I say, there will be no casualties in regualr weapon caves?" The vagrant cultvators nodded their heads with rxed expressions. "So, don''t worry too much. Since no one were kicked out of the weapon caves, then they must be progressing in their new weapon dao," The guild master shook his head with a slight smile on his face when he saw the earlier expression of his friends who maintained aloof expressions and were not worried about their disciples. "ording to my guess, everyone must have reached mid stage grade 2 weapon dao already. So, you can expect them to be kicked out anytime now," "What?" This time, they were unable to remain calm after hearing the guild master''s words. Even though the guild master said it is easy to reach the grade 3 in this weapon dao, it is not at all easy. The reason he made others choose another weapon dao is because of something else. So, when they heard that their disciples might have reached the mid-stage grde 2, they were shocked at first andter it was reced by happiness. "Even if there is a single personal disciple who reached grade 3 in his second weapon dao, his battle prowess will be increased to another level," The guild master said in a low voice but it was audible to every vagrant cultivator. "Rae, did you really make up your mind to give that cultivation technique?" Elder Sandra asked with a serious expression on her face. "Then why will I use 90 percent of my cultivation resources for these weapon caves? It doesn''t matter whether he is my personal disciple or yours, with this cultivation technique, he can take us to any one of the greater worlds," The guild master said to the vagrant cultivators. "What?" "Did that person say this thing to you?" Even though they were all a single team, the guild master was the only one who could meet a special person and as long as they followed his instructions, instead of going to another province, they will directly enter one of the?greater worlds. Until now, they only know about the cultivation technique'' however, only now, they understand what they have to do. "That''s right! He is the one who told me about it. As long as a cultivator has two weapon dao of grade 4 and with a cultivation of peak elite general realm, he could create a portal with the help of that cultivation technique and his weapon daosbined," The guild master exined what they have to do making everyone serious. ..... Inside Ajax''s spirit consciousness, ''Huf huf'' Ajax was breathing heavily locking at the 16 battle-axes and revealed a slight smile on his face. ''You too move aside for a while. I will take care of them,'' He asked his two weapons to take rest as he took a deep breath and nned something to destroy all the battle-axes in a single go. Chapter 739: Bargaining with the weapon soul

Chapter 739: Bargaining with the weapon soul

After fighting the battle-axes for who knows how long, Ajax understood one major defect among these battle-axes. ''The coordination between them is very bad and it was the reason why I was able to destroy them one after another,'' With a smile on his face, he jumped into the 16 battle-axes which rushed at him from all the sides. ''Disperse,'' Just when the battle-axes were about to touch them, he dispersed his spirit consciousness form and appeared a few meters away from his disappeared spot. ''Boom'' A huge explosion appeared in his spirit consciousness that even made him fly away a couple of meters from the impact. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 1 percentprehension regarding the battle-axe dao. ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 1 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. . . . . ''Ding, Destroyed a small part of the grade 2 battle axe Gained 1 percentprehension regarding the battle axe dao. Soon, 16 system notifications rang in his head informing him that he gained 16 percent ofprehension into the grade 2 battle-axe dao. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading your third weapon dao to grade 2. Along with those system notifications, another system notification appeared in his head with a little time gap, making Ajax quite excited. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, the one-meter battle-axe rushed towards him and revolved around him like a puppy. "Huh??You look more strong now; however, I can''t use you yet," Apparently, there were no major changes to the battle-axe as it still remained at the same size; however, there were various runes that started forming making it look better. Nevertheless, fighting requires strength, not beauty. So, Ajax didn''t choose to fight with it yet. ''System, let me see the new title, I unlocked previously,'' Since the transparent battle-axe is still taking time to appear in his spirit consciousness, Ajax hurriedly asked the system about his new title. ''Ding, Title name:- Weapon Master (Level 1). Conditions:- At least three weapon daos of which one shoud be at grade 3. Weapon daos:- Spear (Piercing power), Sword (Fast-type), Battle axe (Explosive-type). Effects:- 10 percent increase in attacking power when using these three types of weapons. Note:- It can be stacked with other titles. Ajax controlled his excitement feeling he might be disappointed; however, after seeing the note and it could be stackable with other titles, he revealed a smile. Even though he could switch between the titles while refining or battling, he felt that in the future, he might get new titles, So, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''A 10 percent increase in attacking power. Good...good...good,'' Ajax revealed an excited smile and waited for the new battle axe to appear in his spirit consciousness; however, it''s been a while but it still didn''t appear. ''Swoosh'' Just when Ajax thought ofing out of his spirit consciousness, a huge battle-axe of around 10 meters appeared in his spirit consciousness. Moreover, it emitted a huge killing intent and bloodlust as though it slew millions of enemies. ''Damn it...why am I unable to move?'' Ajax cursed in his head when he noticed that he was unable to move in the presence of the battle-axe. ''Human kid, you are good,'' While Ajax was trying his best to move in the presence of the battle-axe, he heard a hoarse voice in his head making him look at the huge-transparent battle-axe. "You are able to learn two other weapon dao beforeing here and you even reached grade 3 in both of them," The hoarse voice continued to ring in his head, "However, you dared toe here with such pitiful cultivation...Hehe." Theugh from the hoarse voice was truly eerie making Ajax get goosebumps when itughed. "I came here to learn the weapon dao of the battle-axe," Ajax gritted his teeth and replied to the battle-axe which was hovering in front of him. "Hehe...you are truly an ignorant brat," The battle-axe shook a little when an eerieugh resounded in Ajax''s head and after a few seconds, it said, "Fine then...since you are able to reach grade 2 within 36 hours, I will give you a test. As long as you finish it, I will help you reach grade 3 within a few seconds. What do you say?" ''Huh?'' Ajax felt something was not right; however, he didn''t want to miss this chance. As long as he reaches grade 3, he couldplete that mission and he would be greatly benefited. "What if I fail?" Nevertheless, he didn''t ept the deal and asked with a calm expression because he didn''t want the huge battle-axe to know that he was desperate. "Hehe" In reply, he got a simr eerieugh before saying, "Is there a need to ask about it? If you fail my test, of course you will die." The hoarse voice didn''tugh when it said thosest words as though it wanted Ajax to see that it was serious about killing Ajax. "Okay then...I will not take the test," Ajax thought about it for a moment and noticed some fluctuations in the huge battle axe in front of him as though it was eagerly waiting for him to say ''yes''. So, he intentionally said ''No''. ''What?'' The hoarse voice was shocked and didn''t believe what it had just heard. "Okay okay," The hoarse voice seemed a little disappointed and said, "If you fail, I will absorb all the essence of nature in your spirit consciousness." It didn''t think much before changing its limitations for failing the test as though it was clearly prepared for it. "Only half of the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness. If you don''t want, then, I will leave from here," For some reason, after his first bargain with it, Ajax felt that the battle-axe is very easy to bargain. So, he intentionally used the words ''I will leave''. "Okay," The hoarse voice replied and agreed in a little disappointed tone. Actually, when the souls of the powerful weapons enter into a cultivator''s spirit consciousness, they just want to destroy the spirit consciousness form of the cultivator. Even the heaven''s destroyer spear was like that before it was tamed by Ajax. So, he felt that the battle-axe''s soul was searching for an owner to leave this damned ce. So, no matter what conditions Ajax says, the battle-axe''s soul agreed to it. "Okay then, what is the test?" After finalizing their deal, Ajax asked the huge battle axe in front of him about its test. "The test is very simple...ahem," The hoarse voice cleared its voice before exining about the trial, "You just have to walk near to me and touch me." ''Swoosh'' ''Huh?'' As soon as the hoarse voice finished exining about the test, Ajax sensed the suppression from the huge battle-axe increased by many folds and he was barely able to stand. ''Damn it...how is it called a simple test when I can''t even stand?'' Ajax cursed the earlier words of the hoarse voice calling this test a simple test and started thinking about how to pass the test. Chapter 740: Heavens destroyer spears might

Chapter 740: Heavens destroyer spear''s might

''Huh?'' However, Ajax can''t use any of his skills or cultivation techniques in his spirit consciousness form. So all his options were locked and he shook his head. ''Swoosh'' However, all of a sudden, he noticed the battle-axe he created from theprehension he gained from the earlier battle-axes was freely moving in the air as though it was not restricted or suppressed by a killing intent or bloodlust. ''Looks like I still have some hope left to finish the test,'' Just when Ajax was feeling a little down, he became excited and ordered his own transparent battle-axe, "Come here." ''Trrinng'' The battle-axe gave a metallic sound and rushed towards him with great excitement. After reaching grade 2, the battle-axe was able to gain some consciousness and since it is created by Ajax, of course, it would be excited when the chance to help its masteres. ''You are a weapon, not a dog,'' Ajax shook his head when he saw how the battle-axe was behaving; however, he didn''t say anything to it and asked the battle-axe to hover in front of him. Soon, the pressure on Ajax was lifted and his body became lighter. ''This is it,'' Without wasting any time, he started rushing towards the huge battle-axe fearing it might increase the pressure on him. As for the huge battle-axe, it shook a little as though it was dissatisfied at something and released even more killing intent to suppress Ajax from moving any further. However, there was no effect on Ajax as he continued to walk towards the huge battle-axe with an ear-to-ear smile on his face. "You can''t do anything to my battle-axe because it was born from the same weapon dao as yours," Ajax reached the huge battle-axe and with a light touch, he informed it. "Damn it...you cheat. I am going to revoke the test," All of a sudden, the huge battle-axe started changing its words and didn''t ept Ajax''s win. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at the huge battle-axe''s words because he didn''t know what to do. He can''t use force to suppress the souls of the huge battle-axe. So, he stood there without doing anything. "What did you say?" At the same time, another voice resounded in Ajax''s spirit consciousness. This sound was majestic and Ajax felt it was familiar; however, he was unable to remember where he had heard it. ''So, it is you,'' But it didn''t take much time for him to remember the owner of the voice. It belongs to none other than his heavens destroyer spear. Currently, the heavens destroyer spear was more than 10 meters long and it was shining with white light which was almost blinding Ajax''s eyes. ''When did it be this powerful?'' Ajax didn''t know how his spear became so powerful all of a sudden. Even though he was not feeling any pressure, he knew that the spear''s powerful pressure was suppressing the huge battle-axe. "Heavens destroyer spear? How did you end up here?" When it heard the words of the heavens destroyer spear and felt the pressure from it, it shook a little before asking the spear. "You dare to cheat with my master?" The spear didn''t give any answers to the battle-axe; instead, it scoffed at the axe. "No no no¡­.I am sorry I didn''t know it was your master. Please forgive me. I will fulfill my promise," The huge battle-axe was so fearful after learning about the presence of the heavens destroyer spear and instantly decided to fulfill its promise. ''What the...'' Ajax was shocked when he saw how fearful the huge battle-axe was in the presence of his heavens destroyer spear; however,pared to the shocked he was excited and thought, ''How can heaven destroyer spear dominate the huge battle-spear when both of them were legend grade?'' This was the doubt in Ajax''s mind. Usually when both the weapons are in the same grade, then there would be some difference; however, lower stage weapons would not be too fearful like how the huge battle-axe was currently doing. "Along with the promise, I need you to form a contract with my master," The heavens destroyer spear''s majestic voice resounded in Ajax''s spirit consciousness. ''...'' Once again, Ajax was shocked by the heavens destroyer spear''s words and became speechless. ''It feels like the heavens destroyer spear is the master and I am a subordinate,'' Ajax bitterly smiled as he silently stood aside and allowed the heavens destroyer spear to do the talking. "What?" Hearing an additional condition, the huge battle axe became shocked and at the same time, it was a little hesitant before looking at Ajax. ording to it, Ajax didn''t do anything exceptional in its test. So, it became a little hesitant. "You are still thinking?" Once again the majestic voice resounded which made the huge battle-axe shiver a little before replying, "I agree...I agree." "Good," The heavens destroyer spear waited until the contract between Ajax and the huge battle-axe was formed before its huge shining spear form returned to normal. ''What?'' Seeing that the heavens destroyer spear returned to a normal-looking spear, the huge battle-axe became disappointed and thought, ''I should have dragged a little more time. Maybe, then I could have escaped from forming the contract.'' Because it could guess that the heavens destroyer spear was only putting on an act and it could not maintain the powerful form for much longer. ''Let it be...my test is not meant to be cleared by anyone anyway. Since he was able to be the master of the heavens destroyer spear, maybe it''s not a bad choice for me to choose him as my master,'' Soon, the huge battle-axe consoled itself. ''Master, I used up all my energy and I will entering into a deep slumber for sometime,'' As for the heavens destroyer spear, its majestic voice now sounded too weak in Ajax''s head and it continued to say, ''You can''t use the heavens destroyer spear form until I wake up from my slumber.'' With each passing second, the heavens destroyer spear''s sound became weaker and finally, before Ajax could give any reply, the spear hovering beside him fell to the ground in his spirit consciousness. "Take a good rest," Ajax caught it before it could fall to the ground and ced it at a corner. "Master, can I integrate that battle-axe soul into me?" After that, Ajax heard the huge battle-axe asked him. "No" Ajax instantly rejected it because even though it''s been less than a day since he formed it in his spirit consciousness, he became attached to it. Moreover, it helped him clear the test for him which gained his respect. "Okay," The hug battle-axe didn''t ask about it further and remained silent. "So, help me reach the grade 3 weapon dao in the battle-axe," Since he had to reach grade 3 in battle-axe dao toplete the mission. He directly came to the point and asked the huge battle-axe. "Th...that is¡­.," When it heard Ajax''s words, the hoarse voice of the battle axe started stammering. "Huh? What happened?" Ajax frowned when he heard that stammering and felt that something was not right. "Before I can help you, I need something else," The battle-axe took a deep breath and replied to Ajax. Chapter 741: First condition to reach the grade 4 battle-axe dao

Chapter 741: First condition to reach the grade 4 battle-axe dao

''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he heard the huge battle-axe''s hoarse voice in his head. "What is it?" Nevertheless, he asked the huge battle-axe what it wanted from him. For him, he had to reach grade 3 in battle-axe dao in the next 10 hours and his only chance to do that was with the help of the huge battle-axe. "Master, I need some essence of nature to give you the knowledge of battle-axe''s dao which was locked by my previous owner," The battle-axe replied to Ajax after a little hesitation. ''So, it is the reason why it wanted some essence of nature from me?'' Ajax understood that the huge battle-axe was in its weakest form and needed some essence of nature to unlock its true potential. However, for him, the essence of nature is not a problem. So, he agreed to its request before asking, "How much essence of nature do you need to transmit all the knowledge about the grade 3 battle-axe dao?" "Only 10000 units of the essence of nature," Hearing Ajax''s reply, the huge battle-axe became a little excited and hurriedly answered him. "What? You call 10000 units of the essence of nature a small amount?" Ajax froze for a moment when he heard how much essence of nature he had to give to the huge battle-axe to learn the grade 3 weapon dao. ''Deal¡­.you can absorb the 10000 units of the essence of nature in my spirit consciousness. I will wait aside until you finish absorbing it,'' In the end, Ajax epted the deal and asked the battle-axe to absorb the essence of nature. Ajax was only shocked because earlier, the battle axe said that it only needed some units of the essence of nature; however, it didn''t imagine the ''Some units'' will be 10000 units of the essence of nature. However, it was a good deal to get a grade 3 weapon dao just for 10000 units of the essence of nature. Moreover,pared to other cultivators, who needed to cultivate for many hours to get a few units of the essence of nature, for Ajax, 10000 units of the essence of nature is easy to get back. ''Ding, The host''s battle-axe wanted to consume the essence of nature from the spirit consciousness. Do you want to give permission to it? "Yes," Ajax didn''t think much before giving ess to the battle-axe to consume the essence of nature. ''Ding, 10000 units of the essence of nature are consumed by the host''s contract weapon. ''What the heck?'' However, just as he gave thee ess to the battle-axe, he received another system notification that gave him a shock and he hurriedly looked at the huge battle-axe. ''Master, I can now transmit the knowledge regarding grade 3 weapon dao to you,'' The huge battle-axe said in its hoarse voice without thinking much about the shocked expression on Ajax''s face. Even after consuming 10000 units of the essence of nature, there were no major changes to the huge battle-axe and it looked just like before. ''Looks like 10000 units of the essence of nature is really a ''Small amount'' for it,'' Only now did Ajax understood that the battle-axe''s words were true. Consuming 10000 units of the essence of nature in one go...what kind of concept it is? ''What if¡­.,'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about something and asked the huge battle-axe, "So, if I give you the required amount of essence of nature, I can get the full knowledge about the grade 4 battle-axe dao, right?" While he was asking, Ajax hoped that it should work out like that. "Yes," The hoarse voice gave a positive reply making Ajax very happy; however, after hearing theter words of the battle-axe, he felt like he was celebrating a little early. "Other than 100000 units of the essence of nature, there are two more requirements to be fulfilled. Only then the seal ced by the previous owner will be unlocked," The battle-axe exined the conditions that needed to be fulfilled to get ess to the grade 4 weapon dao. "100000 units of the essence of nature?" Ajax''s eyes started spinning with the amount of the essence of nature required to unlock the grade 4 weapon dao. Moreover, it is only one of the three conditions. So, he was utterly shocked by it. ''However, paying 100000 units of the essence of nature for the grade 4 weapon dao is not a bad thing,'' Nevertheless, Ajax thought that it was worth it when he thought that there were only a few cultivators who were able to reach the grade 4 weapon dao and it took them more than 100 years or even 500 years. "So, can I pay it in installments?" If he wants to gain more essence of nature, he just has to wage the war in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Since Giamont was weakest among all the spirit beast kings, others would definitely agree if he requested to wage a war on other spirit beast kings'' territories hoping that they would gain Gaimont''s territory. So, as long as he could pay the essence of nature in installments, 100000 units of the essence of nature will not be a problem for him. "I am not very picky with the essence of nature. Moreover, your essence of nature is somewhat different than my previous master''s essence of nature. I liked it very much. So, you can pay in installments with 10000 units of the essence of nature as extra," Even though the battle-axe has acknowledged Ajax as its master, these rules were set by its previous master. So, the huge battle-axe can''t do anything about it. "Good," Since he was already paying 10000 units of the essence of nature, another 10000 units seemed very little to him, and nodded his head at the huge battle-axe. ''I am also starting to feel 10000 units of the essence of nature are little,'' All of a sudden, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and asked the battle-axe, "And, what about the other two conditions?" Since he felt that the first condition is within his range, he asked for the other conditions. "Master, I am still bound by the rules of my old master. Only after youplete the first condition, I can say you about the second condition," The battle-axe replied in an apologetic tone. "It''s fine¡­.I can understand," It was already good for him to reach grade 3 in battle-axe dao and grade 4 is still reachable. It is almost impossible for someone to reach grade 4 weapon dao in the Zrochester province unless they were lucky. So, as long as there is some hope to reach grade 4, Ajax felt it is good to give it a?try. "Okay then...I willplete that after the champions contest," Ajax wanted to see the so-called heaven''s son, a genius among geniuses from the top powers of the Zrochester province. So, he didn''t want to miss it. Moreover, he didn''t have enough power to wage a war against other spirit beast kings'' territories right now. So, he asked the huge battle axe with an excited look on his face, "Transfer the knowledge regarding the grade 3 battle-axe dao." Chapter 742: Something unexpected

Chapter 742: Something unexpected

Soon, the battle axe transferred all the knowledge regarding the grade 3 battle axe dao. All the mysteries rted to the battle-axe became clearer for Ajax with each passing minute and at the same time, the battle-axe he created from hisprehension also started to grow in size andplex runes started appearing on it. In a sh, the time given for thest stage of the special training came to an end, and just before they were sent out of the weapon cave, Ajax received a system notification that made him reveal a huge smile. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully reaching grade 3 in battle-axe weapon doa. Just after they were sent out of the weapon cave, Ajax started to receive even more system notifications that made his smile even wider. ''Ding, The mission to explore the natural weapon cave is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, The mission''s original reward will be active when the host enters the elemental spirit world for his third official elemental spirit. ''Ding, Additional rewards will be given after checking the clearance rating. Please wait for some time. ''Good,'' Ajax nodded his head and didn''t bother to check about any other notifications because he felt like he had already received all the benefits he wanted to get. ''After I go back to the mercenary squad building, I will break the energy orbs and enter the general realm. As soon as I reach the general realm, I can enter the elemental spirit world and form the official contract with two elemental spirits and as many unofficial contracts as possible,'' Ajax calmed himself as he looked at Levi who had a big smile on his face too. "Senior brother Levi, what grade did you reach in the battle-axe weapon dao?" "Peak grade 2¡­.if there were a few more hours, I would have reached grade 3," Even though he said that he was very happy with the progress he had in the weapon cave. "Nice" Ajax was shocked at Levi''s reply; however, he was happy for him and after thinking about it, Ajax felt there was no need to be shocked at his progress. Because Levi already reached grade 3 in sword dao. So, his sword must have helped him against the battle axes in his spirit consciousness. "What about you?" ''Ding, The clearance rating for the earlier is B+ ''Ding, No additional reward will be avable for the host. Just as Levi asked a question, two system notifications rang in Ajax''s head that made him nearly fall to the ground. ''What the hell?'' He was shocked, angry and at the same time, he felt sad. Actually, he had high hopes of getting an energy orb from the mission. So, the disappointment he got was even more. "Ajax...Ajax...what happened?" Seeing that Ajax spaced out, Levi called out his name a couple of times before pushing him a little. "Senior brother Levi, about that...I was lucky and reached grade 3 in the battle-axe dao," With the slight push from Levi, Ajax came out of his thoughts and replied to him. "As expected of a personal disciple of a great master," Levi was not at all shocked by Ajax and praised him. As for Ajax, he was not in a good mood because of the low clearance rating he got from the mission assessment. So, he didn''t talk much. Soon, the guild master came to pick them along with the other disciples on the livid griffin. "I reached peak grade 2 sword dao," "I reached grade 3 sword dao," "Grade 2 spear dao," "Peak grade 2 halber dao," . . . . As soon as he mounted the livid griffin, Ajax heard the excited discussions of the young cultivators. Almost all the young cultivators had grade 2 and only a few of them were able to reach grade 3. Among them, Neil was the dark horse who reached grade 3 in sword dao. Moreover, it was an ''ignore defense'' type sword dao. As long as he waved his sword, even the hardest shield could not stop his attack. To Ajax''s surprise, Justice had learned a halberd dao and even reached peak rank 2 in it. ording to the system, only in very rare cases, Justice and Courage can learn cultivation techniques. Nevertheless, he was not in a mood to check everything about Justice''s skills and weapon daos. Soon, they reached a huge mansion in the same secret realm. "Everyone can rest for the next 24 hours and mentally prepare for the champions contest," The guild master also didn''t ask anything about the weapon daos because he had already known the progress of each and every one. Without any surprises, the guild master chose Ajax who had three weapons already. However, it was still not the time for him to give the secret cultivation technique to Ajax. Soon, everyone entered the huge mansion and selected a room for themselves to take a rest. .... ''Damn it...damn it,'' After entering his room, Ajax let out all his frustration as he cursed the system for giving him the low clearance rating. ''System, why did you give me the low clearance rating?'' This is the first time he was unable to get the energy orb from an ''A'' danger rating mission. So, he was very angry as he asked the system. ''Ding, 1) The host took too much time 2) The host could have used the full powers of the inheritance sword and the heavens destroyer spear from the beginning. 3) In short, you barelypleted the mission Just as he asked the system, it gave him three reasons making Ajax speechless. ''Sigh...it was my fault for being soo hopeful regarding the energy orb,'' Ajax sighed as he silently thought in his head as he copsed onto the bed and tried to forget about the low clearance rating. ''Looks like there is no hope for me to reach the general realm before the champions contest,'' This thought made Ajax bitterly shook his head and closed his eyes. ...¡­. In a huge hall of the same mansion, "So, when are you going to say about the secret cultivation technique to Ajax?" Elder Sandra asked the guild master with a serious look on her face along with the other vagrant cultivators. "It is still a long way before I can say everything to him. Before that, I need to bring him to meet that special person after this champions contest or during the champions contest," "What?" The guild master''s reply made everyone shocked as they asked at the same time. "I don''t know but he said that he might visit this year''s champions contest," The guild master said with a slight smile on his face and continued, "ording to him, this year''s champions contest will make many changes in the Zrochester province. So, of course, he might visit the contest." "So, we can finally meet him," Everyone became excited after hearing the guild master''s exnation. How could they not meet the powerful person in the Zrochester province? From the guild master''s words, he was the only one who was keeping the otherworldly races away from invading their Zrochester province. As for the demons appearing inside the Zrochester province, they were left to the guild master and other powers in the province. Chapter 743: Protector Olek

Chapter 743: Protector Olek

In the royal city of the Zrochester province, The royal city is also called Draton city which was named after the royal family name. Usually, the royal city will always be bustling with powerful cultivators and normal people who work for the top powers of the Zrochester province. However, currently, it was even busier than usual because today is the day where the champions contest is going to start. Powerful cultivators from all over the Zrochester province will be entering the Draton city and even the low-level cultivators wille to watch the fights among the young geniuses of the Zrochester province. "Little one, this is your chance, as long as you try your best, even if you don''t win the champions contest, you will be selected by the top powers of the province," "If you are about to lose in the fight against anyone, don''t hesitate to surrender. It is not bad to lose a fight or two instead of giving up your life," . . . . The participants who are not from any of the powerful sects or families were given various advice by their seniors and masters. For them, it was already a great achievement for being selected for the champions contest. So, all they have to do right now is to win at least a couple of fights. "I will keep that in my mind, master," All the young cultivators knew it was dangerous to fight against the monstrous geniuses from the sects. ¡­.. At the center of the royal city, a huge stage which was made up of some unknown material was constructed for the contest. Around the stage, many sitting stands were being constructed by the servants of the respected powers of the province. Soon, cultivators from the top powers of the province starteding and sat in the respective sitting stands. "Hello everyone," All of a sudden, an old man from the royal family jumped onto the huge stage and greeted everyone. "First of all, thanks to everyone who visited here," The old man''s face was covered with a golden mask and he was wearing blue robes with golden borders. "However, the contest will not be started yet because we are waiting for a special person," The old man''s words contained a tinge of respect in his words when he said ''Special person''. ''What?'' ''How can the number one contest wait for the sake of a single person?'' ''Damn it...in order to not miss the contest, I paid a lot of spirit stones to rent a flying mount,'' The rogue cultivators and the cultivators from less powerful families felt dissatisfied when they heard the old man''s words. As for the cultivators from the great families and the sects didn''t say anything because they knew who they were waiting for. Actually, the thing is the less powerful families and rogue cultivators didn''t have any idea of the special person. Since everyone had already arrived, they thought the contest would start soon. But they have to wait for a so-called special person. ''Hmph'' Even though they were discussing in whispers, Stephen draton who was sitting on the highest seat harrumphed at them. Soon, everyone became silent and didn''t utter a single word and patiently waited for the special person. ''Is this the special person, the guild master mentioned?'' As for Ajax and others, they thought to themselves. Before exiting the guild master''s secret realm, the guild master mentioned powerful cultivators and when they meet him, they have to be respectful towards him. ''Tap tap'' Soon, a young man walked into the silent arena with a small white cat in his hands. The young man wore pure white robes and had long ck hair with a handsome face. Other than these things, the most important thing is he didn''t have any cultivation. In order words, he is just a mortal that could only live for 100 years. ''Who is that young man?'' ''Why did he walk into the arena?'' ''Is he looking for death?'' Other than the top powers of the Zrochester province, the rest of the cultivators started whispering to themselves. "Swoosh" All of a sudden, the sect leaders of the three sects, family heads of the five great families, the guild master, and the King of the Zrochester province jumped down from their high seats and walked towards the young man in white robes with a face full of respect. "Greetings to the lord protector," "We are d that you have arrived here," "Lord protector, we have already prepared a nice suite for you to watch the contest," Soon, all the leading figures of the Zrochester province bowed to the young man. ''What?'' ''Is he the special person mentioned earlier?'' The on-lookers were continued to whisper again; however, with an angry stare from Stephen, everyone became silent. As for the young man, he lightly caressed the small white cat in his hand and nodded his head with a slight smile on his face before saying, "There is no need for any suite as I have already chosen a ce to sit." As soon as he finished his words, the young man checked his surroundings. To be more specific, he was checking the young cultivators who are going to participate in the contest. ''System, show me his details,'' Ajax was shocked at the scene in front of him where all the leading figures bow to a young man who seemed to have no cultivation. So, he became curious and silently asked the system. ''Ding, Name:- Olek. Profession:- Protector of the Zrochester province. Cultivation:- Unable to ess Skills:- Unable to ess. Information:- No ess. Except for the name and profession, nothing was shown on the holographic screen making Ajax shocked once again. ''Holy heavens...is he a King realm cultivator?'' Except for the king realm cultivation cultivators, Ajax could see the cultivation of everyone below that realm. So, he guessed that the so-called protector was a king realm cultivator. ''Swoosh'' Just as he looked at the information avable on the halographic screen, the young man disappeared from his ce and appeared beside Ajax before sitting beside him. "My name is Olek, nice to meet you, Ajax," ''Meow'' Olek introduced himself with a slight smile on his face and at the same time, the small white cat in his hands also meowed at Ajax. "Hello, Lord protector," Since the guild master told him to be respectful with this protector, Ajax and the rest of the young cultivators who were sitting in that sitting stand stood up and greeted him. ''Sigh'' Olek sighed at their actions and said, "You are just like those old fools. You are no fun." As soon as he said that, he snapped his fingers and the white cat in his hand lightly blew a gust of wind which turned into a majestic chair. He disappeared from his original ce and re-appeared on the cloud chair and said, "Start the contest." "Yes, lord protector," Since the contest is hosted by the royal family, Stephen draton nodded his head after receiving a green signal from the lord protector. "Old man, start the contest by exining the rules of the contest," He gave themand to the old man on the huge stage before going back to his seat just like the other leading figures of the Zrochester province. Chapter 744: Bronze Demon World

Chapter 744: Bronze Demon World

"Even though it is not the first time, I will still exin the rounds and the rules of the champions contest," "There will be three rounds which eliminate the 100 young participants into 15. After that, there will be individual challenging rounds among those top 15 young participants," As soon as he got the king''s orders, the old referee started exining about the tournament. Originally, the invitations were sent to 80 young participants in the beginning; however, with the addition of the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, they sent a few more invitations to make it 100. "In each round, half of the participants will be eliminated. So, give your best performance and don''t regret when you lose," The old man didn''t stop as he continued saying, "As for the rules of the tournament, just defeat your opponent and proceed to the next round. As long as your opponent didn''t admit his defeat, you can even kill him and you can still be in the tournament." "However, if you kill the surrendered opponent, you will be instantly killed by me...Do you understand?" The old man looked at each and every single one of the young participants and exined the rules. "Yes, sir," Everyone nodded their heads as they had already known the rules of the contest which was modified a littlepared to thest champions contest. Nevertheless, they were no fools to go against the rules. For most of the young geniuses that came from low-level families,pared to the fame, they valued their lives more. ''I wonder who is going to be my first opponent in round 1,'' As for Ajax, he was excitedly looking forward to his first official fight in the Zrochester province. Simrly, the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators were also excited because it is also their first official fight just like Ajax. "I came here to see something exciting; however, looks like it will be boring to watch," All of a sudden, an annoying tone resounded in the entire area from the sky. The speaker was none other than a young man named Olek the protector. Since the main battles will be among thest 15 young participants, he had to wait until then and it will take more than three days to finish all three rounds. So, he showed a dissatisfied look on his face and even the white cat in his hands meowed in dissatisfaction. "Lord protector?" The king frowned a little when he heard those words; however, he was quick with his thinking and hurriedly replied, "I am sorry to hear that, lord protector. But if you have any suggestions regarding the champions contest, I will make the necessary arrangements for it." ording to his master, he should never piss off this young man because the royal family will cease to exist from the moment they piss him off. So, he was careful with his words and asked for some suggestions. "Hmm" Hearing Stephen draton''s words, the young man started thinking for a few seconds before his eyes sparkled with a bright light and said, "Recently, low-level bronze demons tried to invade our province; however, I don''t know where they got the confidence to attack us with such a pitifulbat power." Olek''s words made everyone surprised and they silently listened to his words where he continued to say the thing that happened every recently. Moreover, no one had any idea that their province was being invaded by someone; however, they didn''t ask why he was talking about it now. However, they didn''t have the courage to ask him and they could only listen to his words with patience. "What''s even funnier is, they connected their world with our province. So, I used the same spatial tunnel to enter their world and killed their king," The young man paused for some time and almost everyone understood what he was trying to say. "So, I will send you to that world and the participants who kill the more number of bronze demons will be considered as the winners," "Also, after I decided the top 5 winners among you, if someone is confident in defeating any one of them, then you can always change them," Olek revealed a slight smile as he finished exining about the new champions contest. ''Damn it'' Even though Stephen draton asked for only a suggestion, he didn''t expect that the protector Olek willpletely change his champions contest which pissed him; however, he didn''t dare to show it in front of Olek. So, he managed to form an excited smile on his face and said, "We will do as you say, lord protector." In this world, as long as you have sufficient power, you can do anything. That''s what is happening right now. "Good," The young man nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face before moving his gaze at the young participants who were sitting in the stands and said, "All the participants, walk onto the stage." "Yes, lord protector," Just after hearing Olek''s words, almost everyone understood what Olek''s work was and why all the leading figures were fearful of Olek. So, just like then, they called Olek as lord protector and walked onto the huge stage. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the 100 young participants climbed onto the huge stage, Olek waved his hands and all of a sudden, 100 space rings and 100 green colored talismans appeared and rushed towards the 100 participants before falling into their hands. "When you are in an extremely dangerous situation, just say ''Escape'' and you will be teleported back to this huge stage," While the young participants were looking at the two items in their hands, Olek gave them some suggestion and exined, "As for the space ring, the moment you kill a bronze demon, anyone part from that killed bronze demon will be stored in your space ring which will help me decide the top five participants." "Now, go," Olek didn''t wait for any reply from the young participants before he sent them into a smaller world called, Bronze demon world. Bronze demons are simr to the abyss devils. Both of them were the lowest ss among the demon race and devil race respectively. Since the protector Olek had said that he already killed the bronze demon king in that world, they will not have much danger. But still, there will be many elite general real bronze demons in that world along with many general realm bronze demons. .... ''What?'' ''Did he already sent them to another world?'' ''He is definitely a king realm cultivator,'' The onlookers were shocked by the scene in front of them and their respect towards that young man reached the next level. Even the top powers of the Zrochester province were shocked a little; however, after remembering about the adventures of the protector Olek, they were no longer shocked. .... ''This kid is good at acting,'' Among one of the stands that were arranged for low-level powerful cultivators, a ck-robed man who was hiding his face with his low hoodie muttered to himself. ''Let''s see how much Ajax had progressed over thest few months,'' He chuckled to himself as he looked at Olek and signaled something. Chapter 745: Bonus mission with conditions

Chapter 745: Bonus mission with conditions

Just as he signaled Olek, he also nodded his head back at the ck-robed man before waving his hands. ''Swoosh'' Soon, many mirrors appeared around him. ''What?'' ''We can see the live-action of the young geniuses,'' Soon, everyone can see the young participants on the mirror screens. "I will randomly show the performance of one of the young cultivator from time to time," Olek''s voice resounded in the area and after finishing his words, he searched for the ck-robed man; however, he was unable to find him, making him shake his head. ... ''Sect leader Gerg, I have said to our disciples to keep an eye on Ajax and the other personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators,'' In the ce which was allocated to the assassin sect, the third elder silently transmitted his voice to the sect leader Gerg. ''Hmm'' The sect leader Gerg lost all his hope in killing Ajax. So, he didn''t bother much about him. Right now, his n was to kill the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivator. ¡­. In the Bronze demon world, The environment inside that world seemed eerie and some of the low-level cultivators among the participants were nauseous with their surroundings. However, they steeled their heart and continued to explore the demon world hoping they would find some bronze demon world. ''Humans'' ''Humans'' All of a sudden, a few young cultivators heard eerie sounds from their surroundings and before they could know what was happening, they werepletely surrounded by small beings that werepletely covered in metallic brown colour. They were none other than Bronze demons. The strength of these demons was measured by their heights. The bronze demons that were one meter in height have the strength of amander realm and the addition of each one meter in height signifies one major realm increment in their strength. So, a four-meter bronze demon has a strength of an elite general realm. ¡­.. In a deste ce in the bronze demon world, ''Ding, The host has entered the Bronze demon world. ''Ding, The host is under the watchful eyes of many humans. So, the system suggests the host not reveal all your trump cards. As soon as Ajax appeared in a deste ce, he checked his surroundings and soon a couple of system notifications rang in his head. ''Sigh...Once again I can''t go all out,'' After reading the system notifications, Ajax sighed as he felt a little disappointed. ''Ding, A special mission is unlocked into the quest tab. Please check. Ajax was not surprised by the new mission and hurriedly opened it. "No danger rating mission?" Once he found out there was no danger rating for the mission, he didn''t bother to read it and checked his surroundings. "I still don''t understand because this new champions contest is? fully wed," Even though he liked this new champions contest, it is not favorable for every participant. For example, Ajax could form a team with the rest of his friends and the young geniuses from the top powers will do that same thing. Even though the top powers of the Zrochester province had fully focused on nurturing a single disciple that doesn''t mean there were other geniuses who got the invitation to participate in the champions contest. From every single top power, there were more than 10 disciples who were invited to join the champions contest. So, the one who will be at a disadvantage was none other than the participants from the low-level families or disciples of no-name rogue cultivators because only one young participant got the invitation. "Nevermind, I will concentrate on killing the demons and if I met Lewis and others and if they want me to join their team, I will think about it at that time," Soon, Ajax shook his head because the world is not favorable to everyone. ''Ding, Bonus mission:- Kill the demons with the system conditions. Danger rating:- None Details:- The host has to kill as many bronze demons as possible with only two skills, one cultivation technique, and one weapon dao. Reward:- A special lottery chance. ''Ding, Do you ept the mission? As soon as he checked the special mission, there was a system notification asking him whether he wanted to ept the mission or not? ''Of course, I will ept the mission,'' Why would he not ept the mission? Since everything happening inside this world was seen by the protector Olek and other on-lookers, he didn''t think for a second before epting the mission. Moreover, the special lottery chance is a good reward and so far he got two simr rewards that didn''t disappoint him. ''Ding, Please select two skills you want to use. ''Spatial des and demon w'' He carefully thought while choosing the skills and selected a long-range skill and a closebat skill. Since there will be many low-level bronze demons in this world, the ''spatial des'' is the best skill for it and the demon w is recently upgraded to level 3 with a poison effect to it. ''Ding, Skill selection ispleted. Please choose a cultivation technique. ''Lightning cloud steps.'' ''Ding, Please select a weapon dao and a weapon. ''Sword dao along with the inheritance sword,'' ''Ding, Thanks forpleting the procedure. ''Ding, Until the host is teleported back to the Zrochester province, he can''t use other skills, cultivation techniques, elemental spirits, or weapons. ''Ding, Additional rewards will be given when the host kills special demons or after killing a certain number of bronze demons. ''It''s a good bonus mission,'' Ajax felt motivated all of a sudden when he saw thest system notification and didn''t waste any more time before starting his search for the demons. ... "Young master, a few kilometers from here, there is a crevice which ispletely filled with many bronze demons. With ourbined work, we canpletely clear it," A young man in brown robes slowly said to his young master. Behind that so-called young master, there were 10 more young men in simr-looking robes. Other than the same coloured robes, there were huge ck coloured hammers on their backs. He was none other than the Hammergust family''s young master, Luis. He entered the summoner king''s inheritance ground and a little fight with Ajax. Not only Luis, but all the participants who gained the rewards from the inheritance ground were also participating in this champions contest except for princess Daphne. Whether it was Luis'' luck or someone intentionally made all the participants from his family at one ce, he hurriedly ordered everyone to search for a ce filled with many bronze demons. "Good...we found two ces. Let go and finish the demons on our left and as for you." Soon, Luis was extremely satisfied with the search result and decided to clear the ce which was near to them. "As for you, go and secretly guard the other ce. If someone with low-level cultivators dares to clear that ce, kill them. If you are not confident,e back and inform me as soon as possible." At the same time, he gave an order to the weakest family member before rushing to his left along with the rest of his family members. ''Yes, young master,'' That weakest family member nodded his head. Chapter 746: Generous Bonus Mission

Chapter 746: Generous Bonus Mission

Not only the Hammergust family, but the disciples of other great families and sects were able to form into teams; however, they were not as lucky as the Hammergust family because they were able to meet only half or more than half of their fellow disciples. Just like Ajax expected, the one who truly suffered a lot was the participants from the low-level families. Participants for low-level families thought of joining together to fight against the disciples from the powerful families; however, the strongest disciples from the top powers had already broken through to the elite general realm with the help of resources from their backers from other provinces. As for the other disciples from the top powers, they also had high cultivations of level 5 general realm and above. So, whenever a participant from the low-level family or group formed by those families encountered the disciples from the top powers, they were forced to use their talisman to escape death in their hands. Among the 100 participants, 70 percent of the spots were filled with the disciples from top powers and 16 spots are filled by Ajax and the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. As for the spots, they belonged to low-level families or disciples of the rogue cultivators. ..... The disciples from the top powers had another goal other than killing the bronze demons. That is, they have to kill the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. Six vagrant cultivators are able to disrupt their ns and if their 15 disciples were able to reach the same realm as their master, they have the power to destroy them. Actually, these orders came from their backers, and if possible they have to the disciples from other powers also. If they canplete the mission, these powers are going to get some good rewards from their backers. So, this champions contest is very important for them. .... ''Why am I the only one who needs to guard?'' The weakest participant from the Hammergust family was a little dissatisfied with his young master. Even though he was the weak one among the Hammergust family participants, he had a cultivation of level 3 general realm. Nevertheless, he found a secure ce from the ce where arge number of bronze demons were sleeping. I hope, he will allow me to kill bronze demons from this batch,'' Except for hoping, thenky young man could not do anything as he waited for his young master and others toe.'' ''Huh?'' After 10 minutes, he saw a young man running towards the bronze demons. ''Isn''t he Ajax?'' It''s been a few months since he hadst seen Ajax and he scoffed at Ajax becausepared to Ajax, he had progressed a lot in his cultivation. ''Only at level 9 elitemander realm and dare to venture alone...I will kill him and Luis will definitely reward me something good,'' It was not a secret that Luis didn''t like Ajax. Moreover, if he didn''t stop Ajax, he would be killed by bronze demons. So, he decided to kill Ajax with his own hands before he could reach the distant bronze demons. "Swoosh" ''Damn it...where are the bronze demons? At this rate, I will not even enter the top 50,'' Ajax was pissed because, for thest ten minutes, he didn''t find a single bronze demon. Even though he had seen some groups formed by the low-level families and others, he didn''t bother to fight them because killing them won''t give him any extra reward. Moreover, they didn''t show any hostility towards him. "Ajax, nice to meet you, once again" "sh" Thenky young man shed his sword at Ajax as he greeted him with a wide smile on his face. However, his face froze when he saw that Ajax dodged his attack without any difficulty. ''Huh? Where did I see you?'' As for Ajax, he was already pissed at not finding any bronze demons and all of sudden anky young man tried to sneak attack him. However, hearing his words, Ajax felt like he somehow knew this young man. "Who dares to disturb my sleep?" All of a sudden, a loud voice resounded in the surroundings making Ajax excited whereas thenky young man became anxious. "Go and kill those invaders." Once again, the same voice repeated, and all of a sudden, from the distance many bronze demons of various sizes started rushing at them. "I don''t need to know where I have seen you...Happy journey to hell," Ajax casually summoned the inheritance sword and sliced off the head of thenky young man before rushing towards the iing bronze demons with an excited look on his face. Since he had already found thousands of bronze demons, why would he waste his time with thenky young man whom he had seen somewhere in the past? As for thenky young man, he never thought that Ajax would kill him in a second. He didn''t even have the time to mutter ''Escape''. From the moment he heard the angry shout of the bronze demon, thenky young man''s only thought was to run away from the ce and if he could not outrun the bronze demons, he could escape with the help of the talisman given by the protector Olek. ''Let''s start the killing,'' ''Spatial des'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi puchi'' Ajax rushed towards them using the lightning cloud steps'' second effect and when he was around 100 meters away from the iing bronze demons, he used the ''Spatial des'' by consuming 1000 units of the essence of nature. Since all the bronze demons were only either one meter or two meters, he didn''t bother to spend more units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Bonus mission special effect is activated. ''Ding, The essence of nature gained by killing the bronze demons is doubled. ''Ding, Killed 100 one-meter bronze demons. Gained 100 x 100 units of the essence of nature. Note:- At the host''s current strength one-meter bronze demons gives only 50 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Detected the host''s spirit consciousness can''t receive the 10000 units of the essence of nature at once. ''Ding, Please depleted the existing units of the essence of nature to receive the essence of nature gained by killing 100 bronze demons. All of a sudden, a long series of system notifications rang in his head that gave him one surprise after another. With the help of spatial des, he was able to clear 3 rows of the iing bronze demons. What shocked him the most was the essence of nature he gained from killing the bronze demons. He had only spent 1000 units of the essence of nature; however, he got 10000 units of the essence of nature in return. ''Looks like this bonus mission is really good than I expected,'' Ajax already felt this mission was very good; however, after seeing the essence of nature he was getting from killing these low-level demons, his expectations about this special mission had increased. ''Looks like Spatial des is a good skill to gain more essence of nature...Haha.'' Ajax startedughing and continued to think, ''I wonder how much essence of nature that bronze demon will give.'' Chapter 747: Curse

Chapter 747: Curse

While thinking that in his head, Ajax looked at the distant bronze demon which was four meters in height. However, it is toozy to attack Ajax because he only had a cultivation of level 9 elitemander realm. ''Ding, Please depleted the essence of nature in your spirit consciousness to gain 10000 units of the essence of nature. Once again the system notification brought him back from his thoughts and without any hesitation, he contacted the huge battle-axe in his spirit consciousness. ''Battle-axe, you can consume 10000 units of the essence of nature from 110000 units of the essence of nature.'' Since he had to pay 110000 units of the essence of nature to gain knowledge on grade 4 weapon dao, he paid his first installment. ''Ding, 10000 units of the essence of nature are consumed by the battle-axe soul. ''Ding, 10000 units of the essence of nature are gained for killing 100 bronze demons. Soon, two system notifications rang in his head and he felt his body weaken for a second before feeling full of energy once again. ''I have to find two battle axes,'' He thought about the two battle-axes'' souls in his spirit consciousness and thought of finding two battle-axes. ''Spatial des'' Soon, he stopped rushing towards them and once again used the spatial des with the same 1000 units of the essence of nature. Since he could kill them from a distance, then there is no need to rush towards them, right? Instead of rushing forward, he distanced himself from the iing bronze demons and continued to use his spatial des. Each time he used the spatial des, he would kill more than 50 one-meter and two-meter bronze demons. ''Ding, Killed 50 one-meter bronze demons. Gained 50 x 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 30 two-meter bronze demons. Gained 30 x 500 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 40 one-meter bronze demons. Gained 40 x 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 40 two-meter bronze demons. Gained 40 x 500 units of the essence of nature. . . . . . The essence of nature he was getting from them continued to increase at an incredible speed. After using the spatial des five times, he nearly killed all the one-meter and two-meter bronze demons leaving hundreds of three-meter and a single four-meter bronze demon. Moreover, he alsopletely paid 110000 units of the essence of nature to the huge battle-axe soul and fulfilled the first condition to gain the rank 4 weapon dao. However, he didn''t have time to check the second condition because all hundreds of three-meter and the single four-meter bronze demons have already surrounded him. ''Since 1000 units are not effects, I will go for 5000 units of the essence of nature,'' With that thought in his mind, he released the spatial des at the group of three-meter bronze demons. Compared to the two-meter bronze demon, the three-meter bronze demon had a thick skin that didn''t even scratch when he used the spatial des with 1000 units of the essence of nature. So, the spatial des'' paralysis effect didn''t take ce. As long as there was a cut on their bodies, they would be paralysed for a minute or so depending on the strength of the enemy. Earlier, the one-meter and two-meter bronze demons were instantly killed by his spatial des. So, there was no paralysis effect on them. ''Ding, Killed 20 three-meter bronze demons. Gained 20 x 2000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 10 three-meter bronze demons. Gained 10 x 2000 units of the essence of nature. Just like earlier, there was no paralysis effect on the three-meter bronze demons because they were instantly killed by the spatial des which consumed 5000 units of the essence of nature. "Damn you, human¡­.Die," Just as Ajax was shocked by the insane amount of the essence of nature from killing 30 three-meter bronze demons, the four-meter demon shouted out loud and released a dark mist through his mouth. ''Huh?'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly used teleport from his lightning cloud steps. ''I don''t know what that mist could do but it is definitely not good,'' Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart when he looked at the ck mist. ''Ding, 50000 units of the essence of nature are gained by the host; however, there is no ce for him to store that much essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, These extra units of the essence of nature will be kept in system space for a minute. So, deplete as much essence of nature as possible within one minute. Note:- The spirit consciousness will be automatically replenished for the next one minute. The system sent another two system notifications exining about the extra essence of nature. ''Excellent,'' For Ajax, depleting the essence of nature is not a big deal after upgrading the cloud steps into the lightning cloud steps. Each time, he used the teleport, it cost him 2000 units of the essence of nature. So, he could still do 24 teleports after using one teleport just a few moments back. ''I should do as much damage as possible to this elite general realm bronze demon,'' He didn''t bother about the general realm of bronze demons because even if he killed them, the essence of nature gained from them would be wasted. So, he thought of using his extra essence of nature to do as much damage as possible to their leader. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Spatial des'' After nning what to do for the next one minute, Ajax teleported himself behind the huge bronze demon and used the spatial des with 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''What the hell?'' However, there was not a single scratch on that huge bronze demon making Ajaxpletely shocked. Although Ajax''s cultivation was still low, his attacking power was so high that he could kill an average level 5 elite general realm with his ultimate spatial des if that cultivator was not ready. So, with the help of the teleport and spatial des, it was not a difficult thing for him. But the problem is, he was unable to scratch a single scratch on it. ''I need to find his weak spot,'' However, Ajax didn''t feel much pressure because if worstes to worst, he could simply run away from here, and even if it was not possible, he could give up the champions contest. So, he was at ease and continued to attack the huge bronze demon. ''sh'' ''Found it'' To his luck, just when hepleted the extra essence of nature in the system space, he found the weak spot of the huge bronze demon. ''Ding, The four-meter bronze demon is paralysed for 10 seconds. ''Haha'' Ajax could not help butugh when he saw the system notification and without wasting any time, he directly used the spatial des on the back of his neck where there was a small cut. ''Ding, The fourth demon general has ced a curse on you. ''Ding, You will be hunted by all the bronze demons in the bronze demon world for the next 24 hours. Just as he finished his attacks on the huge bronze demon, he received two system notifications making him frown. Chapter 748: Additional rewards

Chapter 748: Additional rewards

From the beginning to end, the three-meter demons were unable to use any of their attacks on Ajax. As for the four-meter bronze demon, it waspletely helpless after its first attack because Ajax never stayed at one ce and randomly teleported one ce to another making it impossible for the bronze demons to attack Ajax. Moreover, the four-meter bronze demon was plump. So, its speed was too slow. It was a little slow when Ajax attacked its weak spot for the first time and it hurriedly wanted to cover it in order not to get attacked for the second time; however, for some reason, it was unable to move its body which helped Ajax to use his ultimate spatial des skill. ''What? A curse?'' Ajax was a little shocked at the system notifications; however, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he felt it was not a curse but a blessing. It took him more than 20 minutes to find a group of bronze demons. So, with the help of this curse, he doesn''t need to go searching for the bronze demons; instead, they wille for him. ''That would be quite a fun,'' When he thought about it, Ajax felt excited and looked at the three-meter bronze demons which were angrily looking at him and attacked him with various demonic attacks. However, all the attacks were useless and he used the four-meter bronze demon as his shield and waited for the kill notification. ''Ding, The host killed the fourth bronze demon general (Four-meter bronze demon) Gained 1 x 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''Nice...looks like killing an elite general being gives 5000 units of the essence of nature,'' Ajax was only surprised a little because the bronze demons were generous and gave him more essence of nature. Because of the bonus mission, the essence of nature is doubled. ''I wish I had a higher spirit consciousness capacity,'' However, Ajax''s current problem was his spirit consciousness capacity which is only at 11000 units. Nevertheless, the essence of nature gained from the huge bronze demon directly entered his spirit consciousness and it waspletely full. ''I have alreadypleted the second requirement to upgrade the level of the lightning cloud step and just have to use the teleport more times,'' As long as he had enough essence of nature, he couldplete the remaining 90 times before upgrading the cultivation technique. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Spatial des'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' This time, he used the spatial des with 5000 units of the essence of nature and teleported twice in a row. ''Ding, Killed 20 three-meter bronze demons. Gained 20 x 2000 units of the essence of nature. Even though he wasn''t required to teleport, he intentionally wasted the essence of nature and repeated the process. Soon, except for Ajax, all the bronze demons were killed with an extra 30000 units of the essence of nature in his system''s space. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' . . . . Within a minute, he used the ''teleport'' 15 minutes and sessfully spent 30000 units of the essence of nature. ''This is going to be fun,'' For the first time after a long time, Ajax felt excited because he knew that the bronze demons will being to find him. Moreover, they were very generous with the essence of nature, Ajax could y to his heart''s content. ''Ding, The reward for killing 24 mutated bronze demons is 10 elite soldier elemental spirit stones. ''Ding, The reward for killing a special elite general demon is a monster peach. ''Ding, The host killed a total of 1000 bronze demons and was rewarded with a special key. ''Huh?'' While Ajax was waiting for the bronze demons to find him soon, he was rewarded with some items for his earlier kills. Even though the system had already said that he would be getting more and more rewards from the bonus mission, he was still surprised by the generosity of the stingy system. ''10 elite elemental spirit stones will help when I form a contract with the elemental spirits after reaching the general realm.'' ''I can refine the monster peach and get 5 monster peach pills from it.'' ''However, what is this key used for?'' After revealing an ear-ear smile with the first two rewards, he took out the special key to check what it is used for. ''Ding, Item name:- Special key Usage:- Can be used to enter the silver demon world afterbining 100 special keys. ''Huh? Silver demon world?'' Ajax raised his brows and felt he needed to collect the remaining 99 special keys to enter the silver demon world. ''Silver demon world should be more powerful than this world, right?'' This was the only thought in Ajax''s mind as he continued to wait for the bronze demons. Even after collecting 100 special keys, Ajax didn''t have any ns to enter the silver demon world anytime soon. He will enter after gaining his new elemental spirits. So that their strength and battle prowess will be increased easily. At the time, he would not have anything to worry about and could use all his trumps cards without any fear of others watching them. ''1022'' At the same time, Ajax noticed that there was a number on the space ring given by the protector Olek. ''So, I killed 1022 bronze demons; however, I don''t how he is going to differentiate among the four types of bronze demons,'' Ajax only thought only for a second and saw a dust screen in the distance before he stopped bothering about the other things. ...¡­. While Ajax was waiting for the bronze demons for a few minutes, Bronze demons all over the world are rushing towards Ajax as though something is asking them to kill Ajax. Even the bronze demons who were fighting the other participants stopped fighting them and rushed towards Ajax. Seeing that scene, all the participants were shocked but still, they didn''t give up on the bronze demons and started killing them by chasing after them, .... Edmond''s adopted children were able to sense each other because of the ''Nine-men awakening''. So, they were able to meet within an hour and formed an invincible team. No matter how strong the bronze demon was, it will be killed by them. Within a couple of hours, they were able to clear nearly 10000 bronze demons and each of them had more than a ''1000'' number on their space rings. ... Just like them, Lewis, Paulin, Justice, and Jeff formed a team before wandering alone for a couple of hours. The reason they formed teams was that it was getting difficult to find the bronze demon. So, by forming the teams, their scouting ability increased a lot. "Justice, your progress is very fast. Within an hour, you have already broken through three minor realms in the general realm," "It is just luck," Justice was being modest and replied to Lewis with a slight smile on his face. Author''s note:- The essence of nature earned by killing different bronze demons One-meter bronze demon:- 50 units Two-meter bronze demon:- 250 units Three-meter bronze demon:- 1000 units Four-meter bronze demon:- 5000 units Because of the bonus mission, all the essence of nature gained is doubled. Chapter 749: Special item:- Soldier Spirit Gourd

Chapter 749: Special item:- Soldier Spirit Gourd

Bronze demon world was the best ce for Justice to increase his cultivation because all the demons are considered evil by the system. The more he kills, the higher his cultivation would be. So, only after two hours of the killing, his cultivation increased from level 1 general realm to level 4 making Lewis and others shocked. Nevertheless, they continued to kill the bronze demons which were running in a specific direction. How could they miss a chance to kill the bronze demons which were showing their backs to them? So, they killed as many bronze demons as possible. .... "Nedhor, Vadel, looks like someone is summoning all the bronze demons¡­.this is our chance to sweep the victory in the champions contest," A young man in red-colored robes said to the two others behind him and at the same time he gave another order, "Use the summon talisman to assemble all our fire sword sect participants here as soon as possible." These young men were the genius disciples of the fire sword sect. Nadhor and Vadel are the personal disciples of the first and the second elder whereas the one who ordered them was the personal disciple of the sect leader Ketrok. "Yes, brother Arkor," Nedhor sent a signal to everyone to gather as soon as possible. ¡­.. Jastin from the assassin sect and Brer from thebat king sect also did that same thing and gathered everyone from their sects. Simrly, the young masters from the great families also felt something was wrong with the bronze demons and followed after them before gathering their family members. ¡­.. As for the participants from the low-level families and other elite general cultivators were either forced by the participants from the top powers or overwhelmed by the bronze demons and escaped from the bronze demon world. However, there were three masked individuals who had more than ''2000'' numbers on their space rings who seemed to be working together. These three dark horses made all the on-lookers shocked by their battle powers. ¡­.. "1000...2000¡­.10000..." As for Ajax, he was counting the bronze demons that were rushing towards him, and with a rxed expression on his face, he counted the numbers. "100000." That''s right! After roughing counting them, Ajax could see around 100000 bronze demons of various heights. ''Let''s start the killing,'' Ajax revealed an excited look on his face as he repeated the same process as earlier. ..... In the center of the royal city, "What is happening?" "Why were all the bronze demons abandoning the fights?" Except for the protector Olek, all the on-lookers were shocked because, for some reason, he was not showing Ajax''s battles on the screen. ''Damn it...he is making things difficult for me,'' Protector Olek cursed Ajax as he knew why all the bronze demons were abandoning the fights and where they were rushing to. "Everyone, the live telecast will be turned off for the next couple of hours," Nevertheless, he only bothered about it for a moment before all the mirror screen turned ck making the on-lookers curious. They knew that something was happening inside the bronze demon world; however, no one dared to ask the protector Olek to turn on the screens and patiently waited. The leading figures had a frown on their faces, but they were also helpless, just like others. .... ''He sure knows how to cause trouble. Why can''t he stay low-key like me?'' In an inn in the royal city, a ck-robed man looked at the mirror screen and sighed. On the screen, Ajax''s figure could be seen shing from time to time as he teleported and used the spatial des to kill one bronze demon after another. The ck-robed figure was none other than Elder Boron andpared to a few months back, he seemed a little younger. ''Hmm...the other three kids are also not bad. They were able to kill many demons without the help of their elemental spirits,'' He looked at the other screen on which three masked young men were running after the bronze demon while killing them from time to time. ''Let''s see how many trump cards he will use in the entire champions contest. Depending on that, I should n further.'' Elder Boron stopped looking at the three masked young man''s screen and focused on Ajax''s fight as he muttered, ''If everything goes well, I can take him to the next province and as for his cultivation, it is just a matter of time before he enters the elite general realm with the help of the thing in his head.'' By the time he finished his thoughts, Elder Boron''s face became a little excited and serious as though he was getting closer to something. ... Inside the Bronze demon world, ''Ding, Killed 100 one-meter bronze demons. Gained 100 x 100 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 50 two-meter bronze demons. Gained 50 x 500 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed 30 three-meter bronze demons. Gained 30 x 2000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Killed fifth elite bronze demon general. Gained 8000 units of the essence of nature. After a few uses of teleport and spatial des, he gained more than 100000 units of the essence of nature; however, he was not bothered about the storage because he had to waste as much as possible within the next one minute. So, he continued to kill them by using the most expensive spatial des. ''Ding, Killed a special bronze demon general. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a special item ''Soldier Spirit gourd''. ''Nice,'' Since he already knew about the special rewards, he teleported himself more than 10 times in a row to distance himself from the bronze demons to check the special item. ''Ding, Special item name:- Soldier Spirit gourd Usage:- Can be used to store the essence of nature that can be used by the host at his own will. Storage capacity:- 0/5000 units of the essence of nature. More information:- A convenient tool of every cultivator in the greater worlds. However, this special spirit gourd can upgrade itself with the essence of nature. ''Exactly what I needed. I want bonus missions like this more often,'' Once again Ajax felt the current bonus mission was so cool. It was like a mission that was given him to freely give the rewards. Ajax was hoping that the system should give the rewards that can store his extra essence of nature. So that he could use itter on for his various needs. ''Ding, Do you wish to store the essence of nature into the Soldier spirit gourd? ''Yes,'' Without any hesitation, he nodded his head after seeing the system notification. ''Ding, 5000 units from the extra essence of nature are stored in the spirit gourd. ''Ding, Do you give permission to auto-upgrade for the spirit gourd? Soon, he got another two system notifications; however, by the time he could give his answer, the bronze demon had already caught up to him and at the same time released some long-range attacks. ''Swoosh'' After teleporting himself a couple of times, he selected ''Yes'' because he didn''t have time to upgrade it because currently, he was drowning in a sea of bronze demons, and at the same time, he was getting lots of the essence of nature. Chapter 750: 52 million units of the essence of nature

Chapter 750: 52 million units of the essence of nature

''Ding, 5000 units of the essence of nature are consumed by the soldier spirit gourd. ''Ding, 5000 units... ''Ding, 5000 units¡­.. . . . . Within a few seconds, the soldier spirit gourd consumed 50000 units of the essence of nature making Ajax a little surprised; however, he felt it was for the best. Because after it is upgraded, the spirit gourd''s storage will be increased for sure. So, he waited for the upgrade toplete. Moreover, thest thing hecks right now is the essence of nature. ''Ding, The Soldier spirit gourd is upgraded into Commander spirit gourd. ''Ding, The storage capacity increased from 5000 units to 20000 units of the essence of nature. ''Woah'' Ajax was surprised with the increased storage capacity; however, he felt it was nothing great to think about the amount of nature he spent. Nevertheless, he was greatly satisfied with the upgrade of the spirit ground. ''After upgrading and storing the 20000 units of the essence of nature, I havepletely depleted all the extra essence of nature from the system space. ''I should upgrade it another again and see how much its storage will be increased,'' Ajax was looking forward to its next upgrade and he had enough confidence to upgrade it. ''Inheritance sword,'' Finally, after getting an essence storage gourd, Ajax changed his attacks and used the inheritance sword. ''sh'' He released a sword wave which was more than 10 meters wide instantly killing the one-meter and two-meter bronze demons and as for the three-meters bronze demons, they were severely injured. The system notifications continued to ring as he killed the bronze demons. As for the demon army, it is like a never-ending swarm of insects that wereing from all over the bronze demon world. ''Ding, The host killed 10000 bronze demons and he will be rewarded with a high-level upgrade stone. ''Ding, Killed 100s three-meter bronze demons. ''Ding, Killed 100s two-meter bronze demons. ''Ding, Killed 1000s one-meter bronze demons. .''Ding, Gained 50 special keys. ''Ding, Killed 20 special bronze demons and rewarded with 10mander realm elemental spirit stones. ''Ding, Killed 10 special bronze demons and rewarded with 5 elitemander realm elemental spirit stones. As time passed, not only did he use the grade 3 fastest sword dao but he also used spatial des and demon ws. He got various elemental spirit stones, special keys, and thousands of essence of nature. ''Huf huf'' After a couple of hours of the serious killing of the bronze demons, Ajax had already more than 100000 of them. To be exact, it was a ''112023'' bronze demon and it was clearly seen on his space ring. ''Ding, The host has killed more than 100000 bronze demons. His ess level to the system has increased a certain level along with a high-level sess stone. Just as he teleported himself to some distance away from the bronze demons, Ajax received a system notification that made him greatly excited. ''Finally¡­.finally, I can restore Darbaudr''s strength to the peak,'' Earlier, he had received a high-level upgrade stone and now it was a sess stone. Ajax nearly had tears after seeing that system notification and thought, ''After this champions contest, I need toplete an ''A'' danger rating mission and I canplete my revenge.'' That''s right! Ajax didn''t want to waste his time and as soon as he finished the champions contest he would put himself in danger to get a couple of ''A'' danger rating missions. ''Moreover, I already have n B to get the energy orbs...hehe,'' Right now, Ajax felt like he could do anything, and felt breaking through to the elite general realm in a week or so was also not a big problem. ''I still have mid-level upgrade stone and sess stone which I can either trade with others,'' Actually, he wanted to upgrade the seal-breakingpass to the high-level heaven grade to break Darbaudr''s penultimate seal. After that, he had to upgrade thepass to legend grade with the help of level upgrade stone and level sess stone. But now, he can directly upgrade the seal-breakingpass to legend grade. ''All of a sudden, all my previous tiredness has disappeared,'' Soon, he stored all the items he gained from the system and jumped into the demon army before shouting, ''Enemy extinction.'' ''Boom'' A loud st rang in the 100 meters radius from where Ajax hadnded his attack and the demons within that range reduced to ashes. As for the demons in 1000 meters radius around Ajax were killed and the bronze demons beyond that range were injured. ''Ding, Inheritance sword''s ''energy extinction'' skill is under cool down and the host will not be able to use it for the next one hour. ''Ding, Killed more than 100000 bronze demons of one, two, and three-meter demons. ''Ding, Gained 52 million units of the essence of nature. ''100000 bronze demons?'' ''50 million units of the essence of nature?'' Before Ajax could know anything, he was shocked by the series of system notifications that appeared after he used the first skill of the inheritance sword. While feeling the shock from the system notifications, Ajax looked at his surroundings. ''Silence'' It wasplete silence. He waspletely surrounded by the pitch-ck ash and after the ash, thend waspletely covered by the dead bodies of the bronze demons. One kilometer away from him, the bronze demonscked the morale to attack him and looked at their leaders. Simrly, their leaders, who are four-meter bronze demons fell into a dilemma whether to attack him or not. Just a few weeks ago, a mysterious human appeared in their world and killed their 10 demon kings leaving behind the elite demon generals and below. And now another human appeared in their world and at that he was a young man of fewer than 20 years old and with a single attack, he killed 100000 bronze demons and still standing with an excited look on his face. What kind of monster did the human race produce? All the four-meter bronze demons are still thinking in their minds and waiting for other four-meter bronze demons to take the initiative to attack the human. ''What can I do with 52 million units of the essence of nature?'' As for Ajax, he didn''t take the initiative to attack the distant bronze demons because he wanted to rest until he again started the killing. ''Ding, 20000 units of the essence of nature are consumed by themander spirit gourd. ''Ding, 20000 units of the essen¡­ ''Ding, 20000 units¡­. . . . . . Soon a series of system notifications rang in his head that informed him about the consumption of themander spirit gourd. ''200000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade frommander spirit gourd to elitemander spirit gourd?'' Ajax was a little surprised but he felt it was good because he had so much essence of nature to waste. ''Ding, Consumed 200000 units of the essence of nature and upgraded to elitemander spirit gourd. ''Ding, Storage capacity increased from 20000 units to 50000 units. ''Ding, Consumed 1000000 units of the essence of nature and upgraded to general spirit gourd. ''Ding, Storage capacity increased from 50000 units to 100000 units. ''Waoh'' Ajax was excited after seeing the double upgraded but still, there is so much essence of nature. Chapter 751: System Upgrade

Chapter 751: System Upgrade

Within a couple of seconds, the spirit gourd consumed 1.2 million units of the essence of nature and upgraded itself twice. Its current storage space is 100000 units; however, he can''t use the essence of nature from the spirit gourd to upgrade his cultivation techniques. ''I think, the spirit gourd can be upgraded a couple more times,'' Since he still had 50.8 million units of the essence of nature, Ajax waited for the spirit gourd to upgrade itself; however, it never happened. Instead of that, he received another system notification that gave him quite a surprise. ''Ding, System upgrade is avable. Do you want to upgrade it? ''Of course,'' Why would he not ept it? Thest time it was upgraded, there were many changes to it. Even though it removed the level-up through the essence of nature, leveling up frompleting the missions is also good; however, it took time for him. So, he was hoping there would be some new changes to the system. ''Ding, Originally, the system''s upgrade would have been avable after the host reached the general realm; however, because of the insane amount of the essence of nature, the system''s upgrade is avable before the host could break through to the general realm. ''Ding, The system''s upgrade requires 50 million units of the essence of nature. Do you agree to pay for it? ''What?'' The first system notification exined about the system upgrade and the second notification really made him shocked. ''If I didn''t enter the bronze demon world, then how could I have upgraded you?'' Since the bronze demons were still hesitating to fight him, Ajax asked the system; instead of epting it. Just imagining it made him tired. How long would it take to umte 50 million units of the essence of nature? Moreover, it is even possible to find that many spirit beasts in the Zrochester province? Even if he finds that many spirit beasts, will the king of the spirit beast kings allow him to do that? ''Ding, Even then, the host has to work hard and umte 50 million units of the essence of nature to upgrade the system. ''Sigh'' Ajax sighed as he allowed the system to consume 50 million units of the essence of nature to upgrade itself. ''Ding, Deducted 50 million units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, When the system is undergoing an upgrade, it will be temporarily unable to answer any of the host''s questions; however, almost all features will work except for a few. ''Ding, The second system upgrade''s time is 12 hours. So, please wait until it''s over. ''Ding, The system''s second upgrade will be started in 3...2...1. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his head and the system went into slumber. ''I hope, I can still gain the essence of nature after killing the bronze demons,'' Ajax thought to himself as he looked at the bronze demons in the distance. ''Who would have thought that even four-meter bronze demons would fear me, a level 9 elitemander realm cultivator...Haha,'' Seeing the distant bronze demons, Ajax could not help butugh out loud. ''By the way, battle-axe, what is the second condition to gain the knowledge on grade 4 weapon dao?'' Since he had already paid 110000 units of the essence of nature, Ajax asked about the second condition. As for the extra 800000 units of the essence of nature, they were dispersed into the air after one minute of not using those units. ''Master, you have to swing a battle-axe by using the grade 3 battle-axe weapon dao for 1000 times.'' As soon as he asked, the huge battle-axe soul exined about the second condition. ''1000 times? It is not a big deal; however, for that, I need to find a good heaven grade battle-axe,'' Currently, hecked a battle-axe but he had two battle-axe souls in his spirit consciousness. ''Since it is just swing, I can do it when I find a battle-axe,'' Ajax shook his head as he stretched his body to start killing the bronze demons. ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Die, demons,'' However, before he could start his killing, many participants from the top powers along with his friends had appeared and started killing the bronze demons. And when the four-meter bronze demons saw more humansing towards them and even attacking them, they were angered. "Everyone, these humans dared to enter our world and even started killing us. Let''s kill them at any cost," A few four-meter bronze demons stood side by side and held their hands before shouting at their subordinates who were in millions. At the same time, they started muttering to themselves, and soon, the ground below them shook a little before one huge worm came out of the ground and swallowed the disciples from one of the top powers. Soon, more huge worms starteding out of the ground, they started swallowing the two-meter and three-meter bronze demons along with the young participants from the top powerful. However, the good thing was all the young participants were fast enough to mutter the word ''Escape'' and teleported back to the Zrochester province. ''Die'' ''sh'' ''Aargh'' However, there were some foolish participants who killed the participants from the other top powers amidst the battles. Since they were all sneak attacked, no one was able to escape from the bronze demon world; instead, they were killed by their fellow participants. ''No wonder, wherever we go, the biggest enemy will always be a human,'' Seeing all the scenes in the distance, Ajax shook his head and he was disgusted by the disciples of the top powers and even disgusted the top powerful for nurturing such disciples. Even if there were some differences among themselves, they should not sneak attack someone when they were facing demons. ''It''s waste of time to try senses into them...as long as they don''t bother me, I will not bother them,'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax rushed into the battlefield. ''Die'' ''sh'' Using his grade 3 fastest sword dao, Ajax was able to cut through a huge worm-like beast that wasing out of the ground. ''Ding, Killed a special grade rank 6 demonic worm and the host will be rewarded with an invisible potion. ''Ding, Gained 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''Spatial des,'' As soon as he saw the gained essence of nature, he shot his spatial des at the three-meter des with full power and instantly killed 100 of them. Once again, Ajax received the gaining essence of nature system notification; however, he no longer bothered about it because he had upgraded almost everything with the essence of nature. So, he quickly checked the details of the reward he gained. ''Ding, Item name:- Invisible potion. Effect:- Consuming it makes the cultivator invisible for 5 minutes. More information:- Except for the king realm beings, no one will be able to sense the cultivation who turned invisible using the invisible potion. ''Nice item,'' He stored the potion and started focusing on the fight. ''Isn''t that Ajax?'' One of the disciples from the assassin sect transmitted his voice to their strongest disciple. ''Oh. So, he is the one that I needed to kill?'' Jastin looked at Ajax who was fighting the bronze demons and revealed an evil look on his face. Chapter 752: Ajax versus Jastin

Chapter 752: Ajax versus Jastin

Jastin, the personal disciple of the sect leader Gerg has cultivation of level 5 elite general after consuming all the resources given by the headquarters and his job in the champions contest was to kill as many young geniuses as possible from the other powers. However, because of the sudden appearance of the protector Olek and the change of the sparring tournament into a ''Kill the demons'' mission. Moreover, everyone was given an escape talisman that could help them escape from the bronze demon world, making Jastin and the chosen ones from the other powers. Nevertheless, with the appearance of the worm-like demonic beasts, he was able to sneak and kill many of the participants. However, when he saw Ajax in the distance, his eyes sparkled with killing intent. ''Everyone, try to assassin the participants from the other powers,'' Soon, Jastin transmitted his voice to his 5-6 fellow disciples who had varying cultivations from level 3-level 8 general realms. Within a few minutes after the appearance of the worm-like creatures, a few lucky ones were able to escape; however, many unlucky ones were assassinated by the assassin sect disciples. So, the overall participants remaining in the bronze demon world were less than 40. Among them, the unlucky ones were the great families. Except for the one who was nurtured with all the resources, the remaining participants were either teleported back to Zrochester province or killed by the assassin sect disciples. The participants from the sects were also not in a good position. Except for the assassin sect which still had six disciples, the fire sword sect has three disciples left. As for thebat king sect, it only has two disciples left in the bronze demon world. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they received the order of Jastin, the five participants from the assassin sect dispersed and whenever they got time, they would silently kill the weakest participants from the other families. ''As long as I kill you, the headquarter will greatly reward me and if I am lucky, they might even take me to their province,'' Looking at Ajax, Jastin was excited because the rewards for killing him would be morepared to the rewards he would get from killing all the participants from an entire sector the great family. ''As for why the headquarters wants to kill him, who cares? As long as I get the rewards, it''s worth it,'' With that thought in his mind, he disappeared from his ce and appeared behind Ajax as silently as possible. However, Ajax''s senses were not normal and it could beparable to an elite general realm cultivator. So, just as Jastin appeared behind him, Ajax unconsciously shivered and at the same time, he felt a bad premonition in his heart. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Without any hesitation, he used the first effect of his level 1 lightning cloud steps and teleported himself 10 meters away from his current location. ''Huh?'' Jastin was shocked at the speed of Ajax and thought, ''He nearly reached the speed which wasparable to teleportation¡­.looks like the fight is going to be interesting.'' So far, Jastin had assassinated so many geniuses in his lifetime and the more trump cards that genius had the more excited he would feel. Ajax''s speed was a surprise for him and looked at Ajax, "I will see how many trump cards you have under your sleeves." Earlier, he just wanted to finish Ajax before killing the other participants and bronze demons; however, he wanted to see the trump cards. ''Damn you, assassin sect,'' Ajax waspletely enraged with the sneak attack on him because even if he were to react a single second, he would have died even without knowing who killed him. ''Ultimate Spatial des,'' As soon as he saw the attacker, Ajax cursed the assassin sect and without any hesitation, he used the ''spatial des'' with 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''sh sh'' ''Swoosh'' However, Jastin disappeared from his ce and once again appeared behind Ajax before saying in Ajax''s ear, ''Powerful skill'' ''sh'' While praising Ajax''s spatial des, he lightly made a cut on Ajax''s back before distancing himself from Ajax. ''Aargh'' This time Ajax was one secondte and received a cut on his body making him shout in anger. ''Excellent speed, powerful long-range attack that could take out multiple targets at once,'' Jastin was once again surprised by Ajax''s powerful skill which was a perfect skill to fight multiple targets. "Even though it is a good skill, the speed of that skill is still notparable to my speed," He acknowledged Spatial des are a good skill to have but using them on him, it''s just a waste of time and the essence of nature. "Show me what other skills and techniques you have in your arsenal," Jastin waited for Ajax to use his next attack. ''Hehe'' In reply to his words, Ajax just revealed an evil smile and tightly clenched the inheritance sword in his hand. "I fear you will not be alive to see all my trump cards." As soon as he finished his words, he released a sword wave of 10 meters at Jastin. "You want to kill me with just a sword wave? In your dreams," As for Jastin, he didn''t take Ajax''s words seriously and nced at his left before disappearing from his sport. ''Hehe'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax was keenly observing Jastin''s eyes and as soon as he noticed that Jastin was looking to his left, Ajax teleported himself to the ce where Jastin might appear. ''Found you,'' ''Spatial des'' And to Ajax''s luck, he teleported himself right in front of Jastin before using the ultimate spatial des. ''What?'' Jastin didn''t expect Ajax could exactly guess when he would appear and moreover, Jastin was shocked before Ajax could use the powerful spatial des and fast movement technique back to back. It wasmon sense that if a skill or cultivation technique is powerful, then the consumption rate for them would be insane. Just after using his fast movement skill three times, Jastin''s spirit consciousness was half emptied. Not to mention, he was a level 5 elite general realm cultivator with more than 30000 units of the essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. As for Ajax, he was just a level 9 elitemander who will have around 6000-7000 unit0s of spirit consciousness capacity. Moreover, he was using the fast movement technique along with a powerful skill that could even injure him, a level 5 elite general realm cultivator. "You still want to see my trump cards? You are going to die even before I could use any of my trump cards," After releasing the spatial des, Ajax mocked Jastin for underestimating him. What Ajax said was true. He didn''t even use any of his trump cards yet. He was using his regr skills which were already known by many. As for underestimating him, was Jastin wrongly underestimated Ajax? He, a level 5 elite general realm cultivator thought he could kill a level 9 elitemander realm cultivator whenever he wanted to kill; however, before that he wanted to see what kind of trump cards he had on him that helped Ajax survive his sects'' assassination attempts until now. Chapter 753: Summoner Battle

Chapter 753: Summoner Battle

''Swoosh'' Just when Ajax had thought that there was no way Jastin could escape from his spatial des, he saw Jastin turn into a cloud of ck smoke. ''Huh?'' Ajax was shocked; however, he became alert and hurriedly distanced himself, bing checking for Jastin. "Haha...well done," All of a sudden, Jastin''s voice could be heard beside Ajax''s ears. ''Damn it'' ''Swoosh'' Without thinking much, Ajax teleported himself to some other ce. ''You are very good,'' However, no matter how many times he teleported, Ajax could hear Jastin''s voice. As for Jastin, who was in the smoke form was shocked to see Ajax''s insane consumption of the essence of nature. Within a few seconds, Ajax had already teleported himself more than ten times and at the same time used the spatial des at Jastin. So, Jastin was shocked. Even though Jastin dodged his spatial des and sword wave, they could kill some bronze demons giving him the free essence of nature, which Ajax rapidly used to kill Jastin. However, who would have thought Jastin would be so fast that he could notnd a single attack on him. "Didn''t I say I want to see your trump cards? What are you waiting for?" "I heard you are a summoner. Where are you elemental spirits?" "I need a Dark-type general realm elemental spirit stone, and luckily you have the same elemental spirit. Summon it and allow me to kill it," Jastin continued to taunt Ajax, and for some reason, he was confident that Ajax would not escape from the bronze demon world with the help of that talisman. ''Huh?'' Hearing his words, Ajax frowned a little and asked, "You want to kill my dark elemental spirit?" "Yes" ck smoke materialized into Jastin as he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and continued to say, "By the way, you can escape from their bronze demon world unless you defeat me." As for why Ajax can''t leave the bronze demon world, only Jastin knows. "Don''t worry; I have enough confidence to kill you. So, I will not escape," Ajax never nned to escape from the fight. Even if he had to use all the trump cards, he had to kill Jastin. "Good" Jastin nodded his head and waited for Ajax to summon Necros. "Necros, someone is eager to fight with you. Why don''t you say allow to him," Compared to Ajax, Necros had good skills, and there was also an ultimate skill where Necros gained immunity for five minutes. So, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face; however, his smile froze halfway because Jastin had summoned a peak general realm elemental spirit. Moreover, it belongs to a dark type, just like Necros. "If I fight against your level 9 general realm elemental spirit, it will not be fun since I could kill it in a second. So, I will let my elemental spirit have fun with your dark elemental spirit," Jastin revealed a smile as he looked at two eerie-looking ck-robed beings in front of him. One was Ajax''s elemental spirit, whereas another one belonged to Jastin. "Before they start fighting, why don''t you summon your other elemental spirits? I heard that you had formed an unofficial contract with an earth elemental spirit," Jastin didn''t give any orders to the elemental spirit; instead, he asked Ajax to summon all his elemental spirits. ''...'' Hearing all this, Ajax was speechless; however, he didn''t summon and stood there thinking how to kill Jastin before he could realize it. Even though Ajax didn''t have any ns to escape from the bronze demon world, he will run without a second thought if he was really in danger. It was not only him; it was the fundamental nature of any being. So, Ajax thought of a n to make sure that he could kill Jastin before he could mutter the ''Escape'' word. "Come on out, everyone." Seeing that Ajax was thinking about something, Jastin assumed that Ajax was hesitating to summon. Because for a summoner, each elemental spirit is a trump card. So, he took the initiative to summon his three other elemental spirits, which cultivated level 10 elementalmander, level 5, and level 8 elite elementalmander realm. Before his elemental spirits coulde out of his spirit consciousness, Jastin crushed a talisman, and soon a yellow color barrier appeared around them. Its range was nearly one kilometer in radius. .... Outside the newly formed barrier, ''What is that barrier?'' Arkor, the genius disciple of the fire sword sect, muttered as he killed a worm-like demonic beast. ''A few minutes ago, I saw Jastin went tried to sneak attack on someone at that same,'' Nedhor replied to his senior after killing a four-meter bronze meter. ''Senior brothers, Jastin tried to sneak attack on Ajax; however, it failed,'' While Arkor and Nedhor killed the bronze demons and demonic beasts, it is Vadel''s duty to watch their surroundings. Moreover, he was entirely watching Jastin''s actions because they never knew when Jastin could sneak on them. However, Ajax and Jastin were moving away while fighting with one another which made him a little difficult to see their fighting; otherwise, he would have been shocked. "What? Ajax escaped Jastin''s sneak attack?" Nevertheless, Nedhor revealed a shocked expression on his face. How can they not know Ajax? They all went into the same inheritance ground when they were still in themander realm. Even their senior brother is not confident enough that he could sessfully dodge Jastin sneak attack, and that is why they asked Vadel to keep an eye on Jastin all the time. ''Ajax?'' As for Arkor, he was a little confused, and at the same time, he felt like he heard that name somewhere before. "He is the one we mentioned before," Nedhor suppressed his shocked expression and replied to Arkor. "Oh. The one who joined our mortal enemy''s mercenary squad," Arkor revealed a disgusted expression on his face when he thought of Edmond. "Yes," Nedhor and Vadel nodded their heads. "Anyway, since Jastin had already decided to y with him, Ajax will die for you/ So, let''s not bother about him and focus on killing the bronze demons," Arkor didn''t think much about Ajax because he knew Ajax would not survive after today. So, he asked his two junior brothers to focus on killing. ''At any cost, we have to enter the top 5; otherwise, we will not get any good rewards.'' At the same time, he motivated them with rewards, and once they heard that, he became excited because only a few participants left. As long as they try to kill more bronze demons and stay in the bronze demon world, they can enter the top 5. Simrly, the other participants tried their best to enter the top 5 too. Inside the barrier, "The barrier willst for 3 hours. No one below the king realm can enter in or out for the next three hours. So, we can fight to our heart''s content," "As a fellow summoner, I am challenging you to a summoner battle. Do you dare to agree?" Jastin asked Ajax with a severe look on his face. Jastin exined about the barrier, and at the same time, he challenged Ajax for a duel with a face full of confidence. Chapter 754: Clean Victory

Chapter 754: Clean Victory

Ajax looked at the barrier for a couple of seconds before nodding his head and said, "I ept your challenge." ''Swoosh'' Just as he epted the challenge, a ck coloured hourss appeared in mid-air and the ck sand inside it went from the upper section to the lower section at a slow pace. "All the ck sand inside it will settle to the lower section within three hours," Jastin continued saying, "By the way, I forgot to mention one more thing." He revealed an evil smile on his face as he said, "Within three hours, you have to kill me; otherwise, you will die. Until then, you can''t escape from the bronze demon world." "That means, you can''t escape the bronze demon world either, right?" There was no worry on Ajax''s face; instead, there was a rxed expression as he asked Jastin. Since it can''t allow Ajax to escape, then Jastin can''t escape either. "Why will I escape? Stop talking already and summon your elemental spirits," Jastin face turned ugly when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he didn''t answer and asked him to summon his elemental spirits. "You are very eager to die. Okay then¡­.I will fulfill your wish." Ajax revealed a smirk as he called the names of his elemental spirits, "Dabrus, Nite, e out." Even though there is no one to watch, he didn''t want to summon all his elemental spirits because he still didn''t know what trump cards Jastin had. As for why he only released those elemental spirits because he didn''t want Jastin to know that he could summon various types of elemental spirits. Since many knew Necros as his official elemental spirit, he only summoned dark-type elemental spirits along with the earth elemental spirit, it which was also known by others. "You are a dual elemental summoner and if you are in my sect, we would have been good friends but¡­.," Jastin heaved a sigh as he looked at Ajax with pity. In the Zrochester province, bing a summoner is already an incredible achievement not to mention summoning two types of elemental spirits. "Also, your luck is so good that you found another elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract," Jastin didn''t expect Ajax to have another elemental spirit. Generally, he knew the difficulties of finding an elemental spirit in the elemental spirit world. Finding an elemental spirit to form an official contract is already considered luck. Even for Jastin, he was barely able to find an extra elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract with it when he visited the elemental spirit world in his third visit. "What are you spacing out for? Let''s fight," Ajax didn''t wait for Jastin to start the attacks as he gave the order to fight his summons. "I am waiting for it," Jastin came out of his thoughts and ordered his elemental spirits to fight. He was a pure dark-type summoner. So, all his elemental spirits are dark type. As for his unofficial elemental spirits, he got only one. Soon, the battle between elemental spirits started. ''Undead summoning'' Necros summoned his undead summons but he didn''t fuse them yet and wanted to see the battle prowess of his opponent which is a peak general realm elemental spirit. ''Magical beast summoning'' Dabrus excels in magic and he learned a skill ''magical beast summoning'' and summoned a rank 5 shadow rhinoceros which excels in both attack and defense. ''Speed'' ''Swoosh'' As for Nite, with just a word, his speed increased by many folds and when he reached his opponent, he muttered ''Strength''. ''Punch'' All of a sudden, the strength of Nite increased by multiple folds and punched his opponent into the barrier. ''Sand dunes'' Among all the elemental spirits, the earth elemental it was in the safest ce with an earth shield around him. However, he used his earth clones and sand dunes to fight the enemy with a rxed expression on his face. it''s fourth skill was skill enhancement which increases the levels of other skills by one. So, his initial one earth clone became three and the diameter of the sand dunes became even bigger with fire at the bottom of the sand dune. As for the earth shield, it can block all the attacks below the elite general realm and? it''s enemy was just an elitemander realm. So, there was no way, his enemy could destroy the earth shield. "Hmm?" Seeing the overpowered elemental spirits of Ajax, Jastin raised his brows as he didn''t understand how his elemental spirits would be powerless against them. ''Where did he get that many resources to increase the cultivation of his elemental spirits?'' Jastin silently thought in his head as he scoffed at his own elemental spirits for being too weak. "Waste" "I wasted too many cultivation resources on you," Jastin scolded his elemental spirits while clenching his fists. The fight between the elemental spirits was totally one-sided. What irritated him the most was even before the battle started, his elemental spirits were not as excited as Ajax''s elemental spirits. Moreover, he always treated these elemental spirits as his ves who should do everything he said. Also, he spent too many resources to increase their cultivation and when they can''t even defeat the other elemental spirits of a no-name cultivator, he was angered to the point where he started scolding them in front of Ajax and his elemental spirits. "Just go to death." Jastin scoffed at them and didn''t bother with his elemental spirits. Even though he said that he knew that having elemental spirits is an asset. So, he really didn''t want them to die and kept an eye on them. If they are truly in danger, he would save them. ''What a pity,'' Until now, he didn''t bother much about Jastin''s elemental spirits; however, after hearing Jastin''s words, Ajax truly felt pity for them. For an elemental spirit, as long as you take good care of it, they will go to any extent to save their master and even fight for him with great excitement; however, when Ajax saw Jastin''s elemental spirit for the first time, he already felt something was wrong with them. After hearing Jastin''s words, Ajax understood what was wrong with the elemental spirits. Take Ajax''s elemental spirits for example. Unlike Jastin''s elemental spirits, even though his elemental spirits were weaker than Jastin''s, they were able to easily win. Moreover, his elemental spirits were greatly excited to battle before staying inside the inner world for most of the time. "Okay, everyone. Time to end it," Even though he felt pity for Jastin''s elemental spirits, that doesn''t mean he should not kill them. Because once they formed a contract with someone, it''s almost impossible to break unless it was an official contract. Even that contract is very hard to break but it''s possible with little bacsh. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated. Please check the quest tab to see the details. While Ajax was satisfyingly watching the elemental spirits'' battle, all of a sudden, he received a system notification that made him a little surprised. ''Don''t tell me, I have to help these elemental spirits,'' After receiving many missions from the system, Ajax could guess what type of missions it will give. Chapter 755: Time to break the contracts

Chapter 755: Time to break the contracts

''Ding, Mission name:- Free the elemental spirits. More information:- Even though the elemental spirits acknowledge someone as their master that doesn''t mean they are ves. As a summoner, you should not let any elemental spirits suffer. Danger rating:- A+ Rewards:- A ''Time elemental paradise'' along with other regr rewards. ''What? A+ danger rating?'' Just like he guessed, he had to do something to free the elemental spirits from Jastin; however, what he didn''t expect was the danger rating. A+ danger rating for his current cultivation will be the hardest mission for him after getting the system. However, as long as he barelypleted the mission, he would get an ''A'' clearance rating. Also, don''t forget about the reward. ''It is a ''Time elemental paradise''....TIME ELEMENTAL PARADISE.'' Ajax felt he had toplete the mission at any cost to get that paradise along with the energy orb which he would get for sure. As for the time-elemental spirit, he had his ways to form a contract with the time-elemental spirit. ''But the problem is how to break the contracts,'' Ajax looked at Jastin, who didn''t have any ns to attack him yet because there were more than two hours left before the barrier disappeared. ''Although I have a rough idea on how to break the contracts, it will be dangerous and the sess rate is very low.'' Ajax started contemting and at the same time nned what to do. ''Even though it is risky, I have enough confidence to keep my life intact; however, I am not sure about the elemental spirit.'' When the spirit contract is forcefully removed, the summoner will only receive a bacsh; however, the chances of elemental spirit dying are more. So, Ajax wanted to increase the survival rate of the elemental spirit and started thinking about it. However, Ajax didn''t know that breaking a summoner''s contract with his elemental spirits is not as easy as he thought. ''I can free you from the contract and help you return to the elemental spirit world...all I need you to do was convince the other elemental spirit to let me enter their spirit consciousness.'' After thinking for some time, Ajax thought of something before silently transmitting his voice to the strongest elemental spirit under Jastin. ''Huh? why do you want to do that?'' Surprisingly that elemental spirit didn''t reject his voice transmission; instead, asked for the reason. ''I don''t want other elemental spirits to suffer. Moreover, after breaking your contracts with Jastin, I will not force you to form a contract with me. Moreover, I will even help you open the portal to the elemental spirit world,'' Ajax already asked the system and learned a few more things. All he had to do in this mission was to break the contract between Jastin and his elemental spirits. ''I can convince them; however, I want to know the dangers while you break the contract between me and my master.'' Once again, Ajax was surprised at that elemental spirit''s words and thought, ''I wonder how much Jastin has hurt these elemental spirits'' feeling that they readily agreed to his request.'' ''I have 70 percent confidence that I can break all the official contracts; however, only 50 percent confidence for the unofficial contract. I hope you tell them these percentages before you convince them.'' Ajax didn''t want to manipte these elemental spirits and said his confidence in percentages. These elemental spirits were already feeling dispirited and didn''t want to increase their hopes by saying he was 100 percent confident. ''Haha¡­.good,'' All of a sudden, the dark elemental spiritughed as it continued, ''If you said you have 90 or 100 percent confidence in breaking the contract, I would have directly rejected your kind offer. All my brothers have agreed to your offer. Now, let me what we have to do.'' Even though the official elemental spirits can break their contract on their own, they require time to do that. All the elemental spirits under Jastin had less than 5 years of experience. So, only with time, they can learn how to break the contract; however, they were very pissed at Jastin, they wanted to take chances to break free from these shackles. ''Thank you for giving me the chance to help you.'' Ajax genuinely thanked all the dark elemental spirits under Jastin. Even though he was the one who was helping them, they were taking the risk and if things went south, they might die. ''You continue to fight my elemental spirits and open your spirit consciousness for me to enter.'' Ajax replied as he warned, ''Don''t let Jastin sense anything suspicious; otherwise, I can''t break the contract if he uses his strength to support the?contract.'' There was another danger other than Ajax''s carelessness during the contract breaking process. The original owner of the elemental spirit can temporarily strengthen the contract between him and his elemental spirit. So, Ajax and Jastin''s elemental spirits need to be careful during the entire process. ''You need not worry about it because I and my brothers had long built a barrier to stop Jastin to listen or sense our thoughts,'' the strongest elemental spirit revealed a slight smile. Today is the first day, it was startedughing and smiling after many years. ''However, if you break one contract, it will definitely alert my master.'' When the contract is sessfully broken, then both the summoner and the elemental spirit will receive some bacsh. At that time, Jastin will definitely know about their n. ''As for this thing, you don''t need to worry about it. I have it under control.'' This time, it was Ajax''s turn to smile when he replied to that elemental spirit. Soon, Ajax started working on his mission. Even though his body was looking at the battle between the elemental spirits, actually, he had long left his body and entered the spirit consciousness of the dark elemental spirit in his spirit consciousness form. Spirit consciousness form can travel to other'' spirit consciousness; however, for that, you need to have the permission of the owner of that spirit consciousness. As for Jastin, he looked at the smile on Ajax''s face and felt irritated. ''Damn you, elemental spirits...if not for using my ultimate skill earlier, I would have already rushed towards him and killed him.'' Jastin internally cursed his elemental spirits and thought, ''I need at least one hour to recover from my injuries. I hope you can continue to fight until then.'' Earlier, he was almost killed by Ajax''s spatial des. If not for his ultimate skill, he would have died already. But the side effects of the skill was he can''t use any of his other skills and had to rely on his elemental spirits to stall time for him. One more reason he used the three-hour barrier because he will not be attacked by any bronze demon until he recovers his strength. ''If he dares to attack me, I don''t have another choice but to use that thing.'' Actually, he thought of using the barrier for himself; however, there were a few participants that were watching his fight with Ajax and if he used the barrier for himself, then all his fame will disappear. Nevertheless, he had another backup n if Ajax really attacked him. So, he patiently waited for his strength to recover. Chapter 756: Abyss Devil Kings plan terminated

Chapter 756: Abyss Devil King''s n terminated

The battle between elemental spirits became stable and after Ajax got the cooperation of the elemental spirits, he ordered his elemental spirits to not fight with their powerful skills. So, the battle between them became a little slow. ''Huh? Are my eyes ying a joke on me or the battle prowess of Ajax''s elemental spirits decreased for some reason?'' It didn''t take much time for Jastin to notice that the attacking speed of Ajax''s elemental spirits became slow and thought, ''Maybe, they temporarily increased their battle prowess. Looks like my elemental spirits will take care of them.'' Soon, Jastin felt satisfied and hoped that his elemental spirits would stall the time for an hour. Even though he had a backup, he didn''t want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. So, he kept an eye on Ajax and the battle between the elemental spirits with another eye. ¡­. Inside the peak general realm elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness, Ajax floated in his spirit consciousness form as he searched for the spirit mark left by Jastin. The spirit mark acts as a contract and now, he had to erase that spirit mark. ''Damn it'' Since the dark elemental spirit was continuously moving, Ajax was having a difficult time searching for the spirit mark. The dark essence of nature in the elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness was violently moving here and there. Ajax felt like he was swimming in an ocean filled with huge waves that continuously changed his sense of direction. ''Phew...finally, I found it,'' More than 10 minutester, Ajax finally found the ce where Jastin had ced the spirit mark. ''Let''s do it.'' As soon as he found the spirit mark, he didn''t waste any time as he positioned himself at that ce before working on it. ''Swoosh'' Afterward, the essence of nature starteding out of his hand and entirely covered the spirit mark. Generally, when something touched the contracted both the elemental spirit and the summoner could sense it; however, because of the barrier created by the elemental spirits, Jastin didn''t have a single clue regarding what was going to happen. ''Even if we don''t take care of the elemental spirits, it''s best summoners should not treat them badly.'' After learning that the elemental spirits can form a barrier to stop the summoner from sensing the thoughts of the elemental spirits, Ajax thought like that. As for the removal of the spirit mark, the essence of nature will take care of it; however, Ajax had to endure the pain and at the same time he had to be focused enough to control his essence of nature. ''The pain has started.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he endured the pain which was increasing at a slow pace. Also, he used 10 times more units of the required essence of nature to increase his sess rate. By any chance, if he loses his focus because of the pain, the huge amounts of the essence of nature will erase the spirit mark from the spirit consciousness wall. Some might think that erasing the spirit mark is just by cing the essence of nature on it; however, in reality, it is not. First of all, the summoner who wants to remove the spirit mark had to find a universal spirit stone. With the help of the universal essence of nature inside that universal spirit stone, the spirit mark can be erased after a year or so if they didn''t remove the universal essence of nature from the spirit mark. However, Ajax was using his main cultivation technique, Heaven and earth refining technique to absorb the spirit mark through the essence of nature to speed up the process from a year to minutes. ''Aargh'' Within less than a minute, the pain increased so much that made Ajax groan. ''I can endure it¡­.as long as I sessfully remove this spirit mark, my mission will bepleted by 70 percent.'' The pain he was currently enduring was equal to the pain he endured when his spirit consciousness''s capacity was forcefully increased. However, thinking about the rewards he would get afterpleting the mission, Ajax motivated himself to endure the pain. ¡­.. In one corner of the royal city, Zrochester Province. ''Damn it...looks like our n failed with the appearance of the Protector Olek,'' The family head of the Hammergust family, Holor said to other family heads through voice transmission. Until today morning, they thought that as soon as they found the right time, they could lure Edmond and Udo to the corner of the royal city to kill them. However, with the appearance of Olek, they didn''t dare to execute their n. Even though the protector Olek will not interfere in the internal affairs of the province, that doesn''t mean they could openly collude hands with the abyss devil king. As long as there was no involvement of the abyss devil king, the protector Olek that mattered to settle the humans. As for the abyss devil king, the protector Olek can''t kill him unless he tries to harm other humans. Protector Olek will only destroy the beings thate from the outer world and the abyss devil king and his race were the beings belonging to the cursed abyss which is in the human world. So, he can''t openly kill the abyss devil king and his subordinates either. ''It is good that the abyss devil king left as soon as we received the information of Protector Olek''s arrival.'' Another family head replied saying that they could always n some other time as long as the abyss devil king is alive. ''Yes...let''s n for some other time.'' Soon everyone decided to execute the n some other time. For the whole time, they only talked through the voice transmission fearing that the protector Olek might hear their words. Compared to these family heads and the sect leader of the Assassin sect, the abyss devil king was very angry. He was running out of time and he had to get the bodies of powerful elite general realm cultivators. ''Should I kill one of the family heads and use them?'' The abyss devil king even thought about using them, but if he really kills one of the family heads, he will not have any more support in the human world. Moreover, even though the family heads'' cultivation level was much higher than Edmond''s, their battle prowess will not bepared to Edmond''s battle prowess at his current cultivation. ''Sigh...if worstes to worst, I will just kill one of the powerful rogue cultivators in the elite general realm.'' He was just waiting for someone like Edmond; however, there was no one like Edmond in the entire province who had the potential to reach the king realm. As for Ajax and others, they are still weak and he could only use the bodies of the elite general realm cultivators. So, he didn''t think about the younger generation yet. ... At the center of the royal city, ''So, this is your n,'' Protector Olek, who was watching the battles in the bronze demon world in his personal mirror, muttered suddenly and thought, ''You still underestimate Edmond though. I will let you see his true battle prowess on your own...Hehe.'' Chapter 757: Contract Breaker

Chapter 757: Contract Breaker

In the bronze demon world, The remaining participants from the champions contest are powerful, and they are killing the bronze demons with their full powers. Everyone has good weapons. Everyone has high cultivation. Everyone has a grade 2 or grade 3 weapon dao. Everyone has a wide range of cultivation techniques and skills. They would look at the massive barrier in the distance to see who will be the winner from time to time. Without a doubt, many thought, Jastin will win; however, a few participants like Levi and Silver goliath believed that Ajax would win. As for the numbers on their space rings were in five digits. Moreover, they were not tired yet, and they could go on for many rounds. ... Inside the barrier, ''Aargh'' The pain Ajax was feeling all over his spirit consciousness form reached the point where he could not bear it anymore. ''Ding, The host has sessfully removed the spirit mark from the elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The elemental spirit only received only a single bacsh where it can''t use any of its skills or strength in the next 24 hours. When he thought he could not bear the pain anymore, he received a couple of system notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief. Moreover, he was surprised at the elemental spirit''s luck. Because the bacsh it received was the lowest one and as long as it waits for 24 hours, it will recover its strength. ''Aargh'' At the same time, Jastin, who was silently watching the fight between the elemental spirits, groaned in pain. ''Cough'' Soon, he coughed a mouthful of blood, and he became even weakerpared to before. ''Damn it...what the hell happened?'' He was confused because he didn''t know what happened to him. ''What? My official contract is broken?'' It didn''t take much time for him to notice what happened to him, and he looked at his strongest elemental spirit with a shocked expression on his face. "Haha...now, I am no longer controlled by you." When that elemental spirit saw the shocked expression on his ex-master''s face, he could not help butugh out loud. "This is my first time seeing an elemental spirit break the official contract on its own. Jastin, you truly opened my eyes today." Ajax said to Jastin with a face full of sarcasm. Even though he erased the spirit mark, he acted like he didn''t know anything about it and mocked Jastin. "Bastard, I am going to kill you." Jastin looked at that elemental spirit with evil eyes, and if looks can, then that elemental spirit would have died more than once already. "Did you forget that you are still in a weakened state? You just needed 20 minutes to recover your strength, but because of breaking the official contract, you still need another 30 minutes. So, in total, you need 50 minutes to recover your strength." The strongest elemental spirit intentionally revealed Jastin''s weakness. So, that Ajax could break the remaining three contracts within the next 50 minutes. ''So, that is the reason he didn''t attack me yet.'' Ajax finally understood why Jastin talked a lot, but he didn''t attack him; instead, he suggested fighting the elemental spirit battle. ''Should I kill him?'' ''No'' As soon as he got the thought of killing Jastin came to his mind, he instantly rejected it without any hesitation because by doing so, the other three elemental spirits will die along with Jastin. If the elemental spirits die, then his mission will fail, which is a considerable loss. "I don''t like to fight my opponent when he is in his weakened stage. So, I will wait for you to recover your strength." Ajax said with an honest look on his face as though he was a righteous cultivator. "Huh?" Jastin frowned when he heard these words; however, he felt some idiotic cultivators didn''t like you fight weakened cultivation and wait for them to recover their strength. He thought Ajax might belong to that category of cultivators. ''Looks like he will live for another 50 minutes. He would have died the next moment he attacked me,'' Jastin decided to let Henrick live for another 50 minutes. As for the elemental spirit that betrayed him, he would kill it for sure. ''But it''s such a pity, I lost an official elemental spirit, and at the same time, I lost the skill I gained from the contract.'' Jastin clenched his fists as he looked at the elemental spirit. That''s right! Jastin lost his first official skill, and it was the bacsh he received when his spirit mark disappeared from the elemental spirit. ... ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for unlocking a new title. Please check. Just as Ajax was about to enter into the spirit consciousness of another elemental spirit, he received a system notification that made him halt. ''Ding, Title name:-Contract breaker Effects:- 1) Increased sess rate while breaking the contracts (Official and Unofficial). 2) Decreased bacshes for breaking the contracts. 3) Decreased time to break the contracts. (For unofficial contracts, it will take half of the time taken to break the official contracts). More information:- Non-stackable with other titles ''Excellent,'' Ajax knew he didn''t have enough time to waste. So, he quickly read the effects of his new title. However, unlike his previous two titles, this new title is not stackable with other titles. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t bother about it because this new title does not help him attack anyway. ''Ding, Do you want to equip it? ''Yes,'' Since he currently needs the title to break two more official contracts and one unofficial contract. So, he equipped the title ''Contract breaker'' and silently rushed into one of the dark elemental spirits'' spirit consciousness without any hesitation. After five minutes, ''Ding, The spirit mark ispletely erased, and the elemental spirit ispletely free now. ''What?'' Like thest time, Ajax used 10000 units of the essence of nature, and just when the pain in his body was starting to increase, he got a system notification that surprised him a lot. ''It took me less than 5 minutes to erase this spirit mark.'' Ajax thought about the time it took for him to erase the spirit mark for the first time andpared it to his second time. Earlier, it took him nearly 20 minutes to find the spirit mark and another 20 minutes to remove the spirit mark. However, it took him only one minute to find the spirit mark and a little more than four minutes to erase the spirit mark. ''Ding, No bacsh for both the elemental spirit and the summoner. Another notification from the system made Ajax surprised once again. ''I think this is good. Now, I canplete the mission before Jastin could realize what is going on with his elemental spirits.'' Even though there was no bacsh for Jastin, Ajax felt it was for the best because without the bacsh, unless Jastin carefully checked for the spirit mark on his particr elemental spirit, it is tough to find. ''You ex-master didn''t notice about your contract. So, keep quiet.'' After asking the elemental spirit to keep quiet, Ajax went into another elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness. Chapter 758: Jastins backup plan

Chapter 758: Jastin''s backup n

After entering into the spirit consciousness of the third elemental spirit, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he repeated the process of erasing Jastin''s spirit mark with his universal essence. ''Ding, The spirit mark ispletely erased, and the elemental spirit ispletely free now. It only took him four minutes this time as he freed the elemental spirit from Jastin''s spirit mark; however, he was not as lucky as thest time, and a slight bacsh urred to the elemental spirit and Jastin. However,pared to the bacsh received by the first elemental spirit, it was better because the elemental spirit only needs to rest for 12 hours before it could recover its strength back. ''Cough'' As for Jastin, he coughed another mouthful of ck blood because of Ajax''s actions. ''What the hell happened? Don''t tell me another elemental spirit removed my spirit mark.'' Jastin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he hurriedly checked for the spirit mark. While Jastin was checking for the spirit mark, Ajax entered into thest elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness. Because of his new title, he was able to find the spirit mark as soon as he entered the spirit consciousness. ''What the hell? Three of my elemental spirits broke the contract?'' When Jastin noticed only one spirit mark in his spirit consciousness, he was shocked and cursed all the three elemental spirits. However, he felt something was not right because how can all three elemental spirits will break the contract at the same time? Moreover, it was so sudden that Jastin felt something was not right! ''What am I missing here?'' Jastin tried to suppress his anger as he started thinking about it. ''Is it something to do with him?'' While thinking, Jastin''s gaze fell on Ajax''s body which was not moving even a little for some time, and he felt it had something to with him. ''No...he is just a level 9 elitemander realm cultivator. He can''t do it.'' Even Jastin has only a 10 percent chance of breaking the official contract with the elemental spirits. So, how can Ajax, whose cultivation is two realms lower than his cultivation, could do it? ''No...he is not a normal one. Damn it. I will kill him first and think about everything elseter.'' After seeing Ajax''s elemental spirits and skills, Jastin didn''t want to allow Ajax to live another second. So, he took out a ck coloured statue from his space ring and dropped his blood on it without hesitation. If Ajax''s spirit consciousness were inside his body, he would have recognized the ck-colour statue as an assassin god''s statue. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, the statue started shining with bright light, and Jastin''s body started growing at an incredible speed. Not only it''s growing, but he was also changing into apletely different being. After a few seconds, the changes in his body stopped, and right now, he looked like a hideous creature with a height of 30 meters. ''Die'' Afterpleting his transformation, Jastin mmed his hand at Ajax''s stationary body. Currently, Ajax didn''t know any of this as he was busy with breaking the contract in thest elemental spirit. ''Thud'' When the colossal hand was about to stomp Ajax into the ground, a colossal undead warrior appeared out of nowhere and blocked the colossal hand. Compared to Jastin''s beast body, the undead assassin''s body was only one-third of it. Although the 10-meter undead body blocked the hand, its body was shaking, and its knees were bending. ''Disperse'' When the undead warrior was about to die, Necors didn''t hesitate to cancel his skill. "Let''s see who will stop me now." When the undead warrior appeared, Jastin was shocked for a moment; however, after crushing it, he again focused on Ajax. ''After killing Ajax, I will take good care of my elemental spirits.'' He was not bothered about his elemental spirits because he knew they couldn''t escape to the elemental spirit world until the barrier''s time is over. So, he decided to torture them before sending them to hell. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he once again started attacking Ajax; however, this time, a ck sh helped Ajax dodge his attack. ''What the hell? Who is that?'' He hurriedly observed the ck sh, and it was none other than Ajax''s strongest elemental spirit. ''You want to take advantage of my huge body and dodge my attacks with your speed? Haha.'' Soon, his body started shrinking, and just when it was three meters, it stopped shrinking any further. Compared to earlier, Jastin''s current form was very thin, and with a nce, anyone could tell that he will be very fast from now on. ''Looks like my guess is right. Ajax was the one who is helping my elemental spirits break the contract with mee.'' Seeing that Ajax was still not moving, Jastin directly concluded that Ajax was the true mastermind behind the release of his elemental spirits, which made Jastin even angrier. "Since you are very loyal to your master, I will kill you first." Jastin saw that besides Necros, other elemental spirits also protecting their unconscious master, and jealousy rose in his heart. So, he decided to kill them first before killing Ajax. "I will start with you." Soon, Jastin picked Necros as his target and rushed at him. .... Inside thest elemental spirit''s spirit consciousness, ''Respected summoner, you are under attack by Jastin.'' ''What?'' Ajax tried his best to erase the spirit mark as soon as possible; however, he frowned a little when he heard the unofficial elemental spirit''s words. ''Did Jastin recover his strength already?'' Earlier, the strongest elemental spirit said that Jastin couldn''t use any of his skills for the next 50 minutes, and it''s been only a little more than 10 minutes since then. So, he felt something was wrong. ''Jastin used some ck coloured statue and turned into a monster, and currently, your strongest elemental spirit is fighting him.'' The elemental spirit exined everything about Jastin''s transformation to Ajax. ''Assassin god''s statue?'' Ajax knew only the assassin god''s statue is capable of doing that; however, for some reason, Ajax looked rxed and replied, ''Necros will easily stall some time for me.'' He was so confident in Necros'' skill, giving him a 5-minute immunity if he canceled that skill. And for the next five minutes, no physical attacks would harm him. ''...'' The elemental spirit was speechless at Ajax''s words, but it didn''t say anything, and at the same time, it envied the elemental spirits under Ajax. Jastin never had any confidence in them, and he just cursed them for their elemental disadvantages. Outside, Jastin was continuously attacking Necros; however, Necros didn''t bother to attack Jastin because he knew that his attacks would not affect jastin. As for Jastin was shocked by Necros''s strong body, and no matter how hard he attacked, there was not a single scratch on his body. ''Ding, The spirit mark ispletely erased, and the elemental spirit ispletely free now. ''Phew...time to break through into the general realm.'' Finally, Ajax got the much-awaited system notification that made him heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he waited for more system notifications. Chapter 759: Emergency Ghost

Chapter 759: Emergency Ghost

''Ding, Mission ''Free the elemental spirits'' ispleted. ''Ding, Clearance rating ''A+'' ''Ding, Energy orb, which can increase the host''s cultivation by three minor realms, is sent to his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, A ''Time elemental paradise'' can be created whenever the host wants to create it. Ajax didn''t wait for much time before he received many system notifications, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the clearance rating. ''Even though I am sure that I will get at least one minor realm of energy orb, I will never know sometimes unexpected things happen.'' When he cleared thest mission, Ajax thought he would get the energy orbs; however, the system''s clearance rating shocked him. So, after seeing the clearance rating, he didn''t bother to check any more system notifications as he already knew what rewards he would get. Soon, without any hesitation, he went back into his body. "How is it possible?" Jastin was shocked at the immune Necros. There was no scratch on Necros; however, Jastin was bing tired with the continuous attacks on the Necros. "Necros, are you confident in killing him?" Since he knew why Necros was immune to physical attacks, Ajax wanted to know whether Necros could kill Jastin or not? "I am waiting for him to get tired, and then I will use my general realm skill to be my ve...Hehe." With an eerie smile, Necros replied to Ajax which gave goosebumps for him. Soul grimoire is a skill that Necros got after entering the general realm. With the help of that skill, he could collect the souls of the dead. "No...he is too weak, and you only have ten slots." However, Ajax instantly rejected the thought of collecting Jastin''s soul into his soul grimoire. "As you say, summoning a master." Necros shrugged with a calm look and then looked at Jastin before saying, "See, you are not even worthy of bing my ve." As soon as he finished his words, Necors muttered, ''Blind''. It blinded Jastin''s all senses, and soon after, Necros appeared in front of Jastin with a huge sword that appeared out of nowhere. "I yed long enough with you, but it''s time to end this." ''Puchi'' The sword pierced through Jastin''s heart as Necros was enjoying it. Not only him, but the previous elemental spirits of Jastin also felt happy. When they formed a contract with him, he looked very honest and made them feel that he would go to any lengths for his elemental spirits; however, they didn''t expect they were making a wrong choice back then. ''Ding, Killed a level 8 elite general realm unknown monster, Gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. Soon, Ajax got the kill notification which made him shook his head. Any four-meter bronze demon would give 5000 units of the essence of nature, and because of the special bonus mission, he would have got 10000 units of the essence of nature. So, he felt, killing the bronze demons is a good way to upgrade himself with all the essence of nature. ''Also, looks like I worried for nothing. This Jastin is not as strong as I thought.'' Ajax thought, to kill Jastin, he had to be a general realm; however, he didn''t even use the energy orbs before Necros killed Jastin''s transformed form. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The portal to the elemental spirit world is opened. The elemental spirit can go back now. Just as he was in his thoughts, Ajax noticed a portal appear in the distance, and at the same time, the system notification appeared in his head to give him rity. "This portal will take you to the elemental spirit world." Ajax never thought of forming a contract with these elemental spirits because they just broke their contract and didn''t want to enter into a contract with another summoner. So, he didn''t even ask him and informed them about the portal. "Thank you, respected summoner," All the elemental spirits thanked Ajax before walking towards the portal. Soon, one by one started entering the portal while waving back at Ajax. "Now, I have to wait until the barrier disappears and kill the bronze demons." "Before that, I can break through to the general realm...Haha." Right now, Ajax had sufficient energy orbs to enter the general realm. So, why will he continue to wait? So, he thought of using the energy orbs. "Respected summoner, if you don''t mind, can I form a contract with you? An unofficial one is okay with me." When he was about to break the energy orbs in his spirit consciousness, Ajax heard a familiar voice and looked in that direction. "Are you sure about it?" Ajax didn''t have any reason to reject it; however, he wanted that elemental spirit to think about it properly. The elemental spirit was none other than the strongest one among all the elemental spirits. "I am sure." The elemental spirit had a white coloured mask and donned his ck robes. While cing his hands on the chest, the elemental spirit replied to Ajax. "Good" Ajax felt that an elemental spirit should find someone to form a contract to not be bored alone in the elemental spirit world. He nodded his head and said, "Don''t resist." While saying that, he ced his spirit mark within a few moments. ''As I expected, my current master is a born summoner. It only took him a few seconds to ce a spirit mark, whereas my ex-master took like 5 hours.'' The dark elemental spirit was excited for his journey together with Ajax. "By the way, what is your name?" Next, Ajax asked for his name. "My name is Zen, summoning master." Zen respectively reapplied to Ajax. "Okay, Zen. Since you are still in a weak state, go and take a rest." With a wave of his hand, Ajax directly sent Zen into the inner world. As soon as Zen entered the inner world, he was once again shocked and thought, ''I made the right decision.'' Soon, he entered into the elemental paradise and introduced himself with the fellow dark elemental spirit beings before starting his cultivation. Not only Zen, but he also sent all his elemental spirits because he should not use them for the bonus mission. So, after sending everyone into the inner world, Ajax walked towards the ck-colored assassin god''s statue. However, before taking a couple of steps, Ajax got a system notification that made him halt in his footsteps. ''Ding, Forming a contract with the elemental spirit gave the host a new official skill. Please check. ''What?'' Ajax never expected that forming an unofficial contract will give a new skill because it has never happened until now. At least not for him. How can a summoner get an official skill when he formed an unofficial contract with an elemental spirit? ''System, why did¡­.'' When he thought to ask a question to the system, Ajax remembered that the system was still under upgrading. So, he stopped his question in the middle. As for the other system notifications, they are the regr functions that don''t require the system''s attention. ''Let''s see what skill I got.'' Soon, he opened the skills section and focused on the official skills part. ''Ding, Official skills:- Demon w (Level 3), Shadow form (Level 3), Emergency ghost (Level 1). Chapter 760: Collecting another Assassin gods statue

Chapter 760: Collecting another ''Assassin god''s statue''

In the official kills section, he saw a new skill, and without thinking much, he focused on it. ''Ding, Skill name:- Emergency ghost (Level 1) (Passive) Effect: In a near-death situation or unexpected attacks that are impossible to dodge, the user will turn into a ghost for a few seconds. Side-effects: The user will enter into apletely weakened state and be in no position to attack for a few hours, depending on the iing attack. More information:- A life-saving passive skill; however, the side-effect is a little too much. Nevertheless, it is a useful skill to have. ''So, this is the skill which saved him from my ''Spatial attacks''.'' After reading the information on his new skill, Ajax felt it was a pretty good skill. If someone with good assassin skills tries to kill him with his sneak attack, this skill will be very helpful. As soon as he got alerted, even if he entered the weakened state, he had many elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts to take care of him. ''Now, let''s see what effect this assassin god''s statue has.'' After nodding his head at his new skill, Ajax picked up the ck-coloured statue. ''Ding, Item name:- Assassin god''s statue (Nine) Effect:- Transforms the owner into an unknown creature with a physical power of peak level 10 elite general realm. Note:- Even though the user returns his regr form, he will be in a weakened state for at least a year. More information:- Collecting all 12 assassin god''s statues will reveal a big secret. Soon, the information about the assassin god statue appeared in front of him. ''Holy heavens! Peak level 10 elite general realm physical strength.'' This time Ajax was shocked after seeing the effect of this statue and thought, ''No wonder, Jastin was so confident about killing me.'' For the cultivators in the Zrochester province, peak level 10 elite general realm is equivalent to god. However, to Jastin''s bad luck, Necros had a physical immunity. So, he could not do anything to him and waster killed by him. ''As for this ''More information'', I wonder what secret it will reveal. As long as I destroy the assassin sect, I can easily get all the statues, but the problem is, will it be dangerous?'' Ajax already has two statues, and by adding the one in his hands, there will be three. ''Let''s see when I get 12 assassin god''s statues,'' Soon, he stopped thinking about it and decided to break through to the general realm. ...¡­.. A couple of hours back, Outside the huge barrier in the bronze demon world, Everyone was not hiding their skill and techniques and going all out to kill the bronze demons because the top 10 with the most number of kill counts will be given good rewards. Generally, the rewards from the champions contest are very generous, and since the royal family conducts the contest, they were the ones giving those rewards. However, with the sudden involvement of the protector Olek, the strongest cultivator of the Zrochester province, the rewards would be even more generous. No one wants to miss those rewards and try their best. However, no matter how hard they tried, they were overwhelmed by the huge number of bronze demonsing endlessly. Even though they were not tired, they could not keep up with the endless army, and when they were in no position to defend themselves, they used to mutter ''Escape'' to teleport to the Zrochester province. "Captain, our battle prowess is greatly decreased after elimination of our brothers and sister," Dark me used his fire techniques to burn the bronze demons as he bitterly said to Fearless Gori. From their ''nine-men awakening'' team, currently, only four were remaining. As for others, they used the talisman to escape from the bronze demon world when they were in a critical situation. "Everyone, the contest will end any time now. Let''s go all out and kill as many bronze demons as possible." Fearless Gori ordered his team members because there were only 20 participants, including Ajax and Jastin remaining in the bronze world. The moment there are only 10 participants left in the bronze demon world, the contest will end. So, they didn''t waste any time and went all out. Fearless Gori turned into a huge gori of around 20 meters and mmed all the bronze demons to death. Silver Goliath didn''t turn into any beast but, his body had grown to 10 meters as he swept all the demons on the ground. Dark me burned every bronze demon in his 100 meters radius. Thest remaining one from the team, Heavenly Raven, was riding a huge raven and killed the demons with the help of his contracted spirit beast. ¡­.. Not only Edmond''s adopted children, the participants from the top powers thought the same and went for their ultimate skills. The few remaining participants from the top three sects are Fire sword sect:-? Arkor, Nedhor and Vadel. Assassin sect:- Jastin and Alhan. Combat king sect:- Brer, Ghir (Two brothers that entered the summoner king''s inheritancend). As for the participants from the five great families, they are Hammergust family:- Luis. Foreglow family:- Bran. Dusthorn family:- Corey. Covenheart family:- Aegan. Terratide family:- Cohan. Three mysterious masked participants casually killed thousands of bronze demons, and from time to time, they use some powerful kills which can kill 20000-50000 bronze demons in a single attack. Some of them were killed by the sneak attacks from the assassin sect''s disciples, and many escaped when they were in no position to save themselves. "Senior brother, shall we go now?" All of a sudden, one of the masked participants asked the masked participants beside him. "Yes...let''s go." The remaining two masked participants nodded their heads and muttered ''Escape'' at the same time. Soon, they disappeared from the bronze demon world, and the moment they appeared on the huge stage back in the Zrochester province, they silently left to one corner of the sitting stands. Many powers wanted to recruit these three rogue cultivators into their sects and families. So, they sent someone from their power to keep an eye on them. However, they could not keep an eye on them because they disappeared right in front of their eyes which greatly shocked them. ''Who are they?'' ''How did they disappear right under our noses?'' ''What am I going to exin to the sect leader/ family head?'' The various cultivators that were following the three masked participants didn''t know how to exin what happened regarding the masked participants. Nevertheless, they exined what they had seen. ''Leave it...they were not normal cultivators. Only the royal family must know about their identity.'' As for the leaders of the sects and great families, they didn''t ponder much about it as though they were young geniuses of the royal family. However, what they didn''t know was that the royal family didn''t know those three young cultivators. ording to the invitation name on these three masked participants, they were just some rogue cultivators. After seeing their battle prowess on the mirror screen, the royal family wanted to conduct a detailed inquiry; however, they were stopped by the protector Olek. .... Chapter 761: Back to Zrochester Province

Chapter 761: Back to Zrochester Province

In the bronze demon world. ''Kacha'' Just when Ajax thought of breaking into the general realm, the huge barrier around him started cracking, and within no time, the barrier disappeared. ''I will break through to the general realm first before killing them.'' Looking at thousands of bronze demons in the distance, Ajax tried to find a peaceful ce to break through into the general realm. ''Die...human.'' However, just as the barrier disappeared, he was surrounded by the bronze demons making him a little annoyed. ''I forget about the curse.'' Ajax shook his head and decided to kill the bronze demons first. ''And the first thing I will do after leaving this bronze demon world is to break through into the? general realm.'' He just postponed his breakthrough for a couple of hours and started killing the bronze demons. He followed the conditions of the bonus mission. Every time he finished one round of attacks, he would move away from the other participants because he wanted to use the ultimate skill of the inheritance sword once again to kill 100000 bronze demons. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, Killed¡­. ''Ding, Gained¡­. ''Spatial des'' ''Demon hands'' ''Sword wave'' ''Teleport.'' He repeated the same process and when he was far away from the participants. ''Time to use the ultimate skill.'' ''Enemy extinction'' Without wasting any time, he jumped into the middle of the sea of bronze demons. ''Boom'' A huge st urred, and everything around him turned into ashes. ''Ding, Enemy extinction will be under cool down for the next one hour. ''Ding, Killed 200000 bronze demons. ''Ding, Gained 120 million units of the essence of nature. Soon, his head was filled with system notifications. ''Sigh...what a pity.'' Looking at the 120 million units of the essence of nature, Ajax could not help but feel pity. Even though he earned them easily, he could not store them or use them forter use. ''Ding, The general spirit gourd consumed two million units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, It evolved into an elite general, special gourd. ''Ding, Storage capacity increased from 100000 units to 200000 units. Even with consumption of the special spirit gourds, there was not much decrease in his extra units of the essence of nature. ''Nevertheless, its capacity is 200000 units of the essence of nature. It is very goodpared to before.'' When he thought about this, his mood elevated a little, and he thought, ''Will it upgrade to king spirit gourd?'' All the special spirit gourd names had till now were rted to the same cultivation realms that human cultivators follow. So, after the elite general realm, it will be the king realm. ''Let''s see itsplete information.'' ''Ding, Item name:- Elite general spirit gourd. Storage capacity:- 200000/ 200000 units of the essence of nature. Requirements to increase the storage capacity:- 1) 100 million units of the essence of nature. 2) 10 monster peaches. 3) 100 million low-level spirit stones. More information:- Only rich cultivators can have the king spirit gourd. ''What the hell!'' He teleported himself into the distance dodging an iing attack from the bronze demon; however, he was shocked by the requirements to upgrade the special spirit gourd to the next grade. "100 million units of the essence of nature will not be a problem, but the other two will be a problem." In his hands, he only has eight monster peach pills and around 20 million spirit stones. So, it was almost impossible for him to upgrade it to the next grade. ''Ding, The special spirit gourd consumed the 100 million units of the essence of nature. Please allow the spirit gourd to consume the other two items. ''Sigh'' Ajax didn''t know what to do and thought, ''Damn it. What happened to me? Is 20000 units of storage capacity is not enough for me?'' Soon, he came out of his worry and decided not to worry about the special gourd anymore. ''Ding, The lightning cloud steps met the conditions to level up. 1)? ''10000 units of the essence of nature'' can be consumed anytime. 2)? ''Used Teleport'' 100 times. 3)? ''Used speed boost whichsts for one hour for ten times. ''Ding, Will you do it? ''Yes.'' If anything requires the essence of nature for its upgrade, Ajax will not think about it much and directly allow it to upgrade. ''Ding, Consuming 10000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The cultivation technique ''Lightning cloud steps'' upgraded to level 2. ''Ding, Teleportation range increased from 10 meters to 20 meters. ''Ding, The speed boost will be increased from two times to three times. ''Nice.'' There were great changes in two effects; however, Ajax''s thoughts were only on breaking through to the general realm. However, he can''t do it with thousands of bronze demons attacking him without giving him any break. So, Ajax continued to fight the bronze demons, and whenever he wanted to take a break, he would teleport himself to take a few seconds to break. After using the ultimate skill of the inheritance sword, Ajax no longer felt heartache for wasting the extra millions of units of the essence of nature as he got used to it. After hours of battle, the number on Ajax''s space ring had reached 3.5 million. The battle continued after another couple of hours; Ajax used the ultimate skill of the inheritance a couple of times to kill one million bronze demons. "Everyone, the contest ends here." All of a sudden, they heard the protector Olek''s words from the sky. ''Disappear'' Before they could stop killing the bronze demons, they once again heard a single word from the protector Olek, and all the bronze demons turned into ashes before disappearing into nothing. ''What?'' Currently, there were only 10 participants in the bronze demon world, and every one of them was shocked when they saw how millions of bronze demons turned into ashes. "Now, will youe back here, or should I do it for myself?" "We wille." They didn''t dare to waste any more time on the deste demon world and used the talisman toe back to the Zrochester province. ...¡­ In the center of the royal city, "Look, thest 10 participants are here." "I wonder how many bronze demons they killed. "My fire sword''s Arkor will win this champions contest." "Dream on. Did you forget about disciple Brer from thebat king sect?" "By the way, where is Jastin? Also, the assassin sect''s cultivators are not looking good." "Looks like Jastin was killed in the bronze demon world." "What? How can that be? Isn''t he the most mysterious one among all the top geniuses of our Zrochester province?" "Also, the Covenheart family''s genius hade back earlier, and that great family will not have any chance to rise again." "Not only the Covenheart family, even the Terratide and the Dusthorn family''s genius came earlier." As soon as thest 10 participants from the champions contest appeared on the huge stage, it caused many heated discussions among the on-lookers. Three great families bitterly shook their heads, Assassin sect''s cultivators were not looking good because they were unable to find their genius disciple. As for the Fire sword sect and Combat king sect, they were not excited or sad. They just waited for the protector Olek to speak. Chapter 762: Scores of top participants

Chapter 762: Scores of top participants

Everyone looked at the protector Olek to speak regarding the contest. "Come forward and say the number on your space ring." Soon, Olek asked the participants to say their ''Kill count'' on the space ring given by him. "3,245,302" The first participant to say the kill count was Arkor, the genius disciple of the fire sword sect. While saying the number, there was a proud look on his face as though he was sure that no one could beat his score. ''What?'' ''He killed more than three million bronze demons?'' ''Monster. He is definitely a monster.'' All the on-lookers were shocked by the number of bronze demons killed by Arkor. ''Within less than 10 hours, he killed more than three million bronze demons, but what if he had more time?'' ''Not to mention, he doesn''t look tired.'' When they saw Arkor, whose face was filled with excitement, and he looked like he could fight even longer without any difficulty. So, it caused another heated discussion among the on-lookers. ''Did you see that? That is our senior brother.'' ''No one can beat his score. I doubt others killed half of the bronze demons that our senior brother Arkor.'' ''If someone else crosses his score, I will bow to him and call him ''Grandfather''.'' ''Your sects'' geniuses should ept that they are much weaker than our senior brother.'' As for the disciples of the fire sword sect, they were filled with proud looks on their faces, and they mocked the disciples from the other sects that their geniuses are nothing but a joke in front of their sect''s genius. Even though the elders and sect leaders heard the words of the fire sword sect''s disciples, they can''t attack them and wait for the results of other disciples. Alhan from the assassin sect:- 2900323 Brer frombat king sect:- 3000034 Soon, the participants from the other two sects looked at the protector Olek and said their score. ''Even though it is less than Arkor''s score, it is still very high.'' pared to them, I am nowhere near to them.'' ''They are all monsters. Let''s notpare them.'' Many shook their heads and stoppedparing themselves with them. "Not bad." As for protector Olek, he just nodded his head and looked at the participants from the five great families. Soon, they announced their ''Kill count''. Luis from Hammergust family:- 2100000. Bran from Foreglow family:- 1934233. There were only two participants from two different families who were present, andpared to the participants of the sects, they scored a little less, but still, they were good. ''Hammegust family and Foreglow family are going to rise in the future.'' ''Yes. As long as these two young men rise to the top, these two families might reach the strength of the current sect.'' ''But, I doubt that will happen. Judging from the expressions on the sect''s elders, I think they will n something to take care of these two young men.'' Like always, the on-lookers sensed their surroundings and checked the elders'' expressions from the other two sects. With a nce, they could say those elders were not happy even when Luis and Bran''s score was less. Finally, everyone''s eyes were on thest five participants of the champion''s contest. Compared to the earlier five, these five young men piqued their interest because four young men were the disciples of the vagrant cultivators among the five. So, of course, it was interesting for them to see their score. Will they have more ''Kill count''? If they have more, how do the top powers feel? Will they stay silent? Will they n something bad for them? Many thoughts were going on in the heads of the wandering cultivators and low-level families. As for Ajax, he was a mercenary in a top-three mercenary squad, andpared to the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators; no one bothered to look at Ajax. "Go on" Protector Olek waved his hand to say their score. Fearless gori:- 3.5 million Silver gori:- 3.4 million Dark me:- 3.45 million Levi:- 4 million The four participants said their scores back to back, and with each score they heard, the on-lookers were shocked. 3.5 - 4 million bronze demons. Just thinking about the number of the bronze demons, they were shocked, and not to mention the four participants had killed that many demos. As for Ajax, they no longer bother to listen to him. What? Since he was in the top 10, he must have killed more than a million bronze demons. Even if he had any powerful attacks, then he would have reached three million. The high scores of fearless gori, silver goliath, and dark me were because of their nine-men awakening. When all nine of their brothers and sisters were present, they killed many bronze demons, which increased their scores a lot. As food Levi, he is level 5 elite general realm, andpared to the level 5 elite general realm cultivators from the Zrochester province, Levi''s battle prowess was much greater. So, he was able to kill many bronze demons in the bronze demon world. ''Damn it'' ''As expected of the vagrant cultivators.'' ''They trained them with their full resources.'' ''They got their secret realms much sooner than we got. So, they have a lot of resources.'' When the higher-ups of the sects and the great families heard those scores, they felt like their ears were ying with them; however, after confirming they heard right, they clenched their fists and looked at the vagrant cultivators. The participants from top powers that were currently standing on the huge stage were using all the resources they got from their backers from the other provinces. ''Interesting....interesting.'' As for Stephen draton, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head after hearing the scores. ''Stephen, I am sensing a bad premonition from that young man with a 4 million score. Keep an eye on him.'' While he was enjoying the reactions of the higher-up from the top powers, he heard a?voice in his face. ''Master?'' Suddenly, the slight smile on his face froze when he heard the voice in his head and seriously looked at Levi. ''But why, master? Is it a threat from the vagrant cultivators?'' Since Levi was the personal disciple of the vagrant cultivator, Stephen felt the actual threat was from them. So, he heard the voice, which he called master. ''I don''t know, but better be careful and keep an eye on him.'' The voice in his head didn''t give an exact reason but asked him to be careful. ''Okay. I will do that master.'' He nodded his head and started thinking about what kind of threat he will get from Levi. ''They killed more than we expected...haha.'' ''I thought they would at most kill 2 million bronze demons, but they surprised me a lot.'' ''Looks like they can get some good rewards from the protector Olek.'' ''I will not be surprised even if he rewards the first three participants with secret realms.'' As for the vagrant cultivators, they were very happy that their personal disciples were doing much better than they thought. ''However, I am waiting for Ajax''s result.'' All of a sudden, the guild master said with a curious look on his face. Chapter 763: Conquering the Shixato Wilds

Chapter 763: Conquering the Shixato Wilds

Not only the guild master but the rest of the vagrant cultivators were equally curious about Ajax''s score. Because Ajax had many mysterious skills and techniques. Even if he were to score more than other participants, they would not be shocked. ''Ding, Mission ''Conquer the Shixato wilds'' ispleted. ''Ding, A special reward is sent to the host''s inventory. ''Ding, Clearance rating:- A ''Ding, An energy orb that could increase the single minor realm is sent to the host''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host''s three contracted spirit beasts, three-legged sun crow (Raweth), Lightning hawk (Snow), and Netherworld sparrow (Sparrow), have broken through to level 1 elite general realm. ''Ding, Please check their information in the contracted spirit beasts to know more about their skills. While everyone was shocked with the scores of the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, Ajax got many system notifications. ''What?'' For a second, Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notifications in his head, andter, he revealed a bitter smile on his face. Earlier, he was waiting for a single energy orb to break through into the general realm; however,? now he has an extra energy orb that could increase his cultivation by three minor realms. ''However, I doubt I can use those three energy orbs in the general realm.'' Ajax shook his head as he read the system notification once; however, he didn''t check them in detail or opened his rewards, fearing that the protector Olek might find out about his system. "What about you, kid?" The protector Olek asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, A? new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check. Just as he was about to say his score, another system notification rang in his head; however, he didn''t bother to check it as he said, "5.2 million." ''Didn''t I say he will not¡­..wait. Did I hear it wrong?'' ''No, you didn''t, he said 5.2 million.'' ''I am definitely hallucinating. How can a level 9 elitemander realm cultivator''s score be that much?'' ''He must have cheated in some way.'' ''Idiot. Do you think he can cheat under the watchful eyes of the protector Olek?'' ''Wait for a second. What if he is an illegitimate son of the protector Olek?'' ''Idiot, keep your voice low. If protector Olek hears your words, he will kill us all.'' ''I think the same too. Do you remember when all the mirror screens turned off? I think something must have happened at the time.'' Soon, there was a heated discussion among the onlookers about Ajax being the illegitimate son of the protector Olek. No matter how low they kept their voices, nothing escaped the ears of the protector Olek which made the slight smile on his face froze all of a sudden. ''Damn it.'' Protector Olek just cursed them as he didn''t bother to reason with them. "Haha...as expected of Ajax." The guild master and others startedughing when they heard Ajax''s score. As for the cultivators from the top powers of the Zrochester province, their faces turned ugly as they looked at Ajax with shocked eyes. ''Damn this kid.'' Compared to all the leading figures of the Zrochester province, the sect leader of the assassin sect clenched his fists and cursed Ajax. Ajax was bing stronger at an incredible speed. Every top power hadplete information on Ajax, and it also included the time when he started the cultivation. Within just a few months, Ajax became nobody to a young genius of the Zrochester province. And, there was a small worry in everyone that what if he bes very powerful in the future? "Okay." The protector Olek didn''t congratte anyone and nodded his head and looked at the participants who used the talisman to escape from the bronze demon world. "If any one of you scored more than them, then you cane on to the stage." Looking at them, Olek asked for some genius participants who might have killed more bronze demons before those top 10 participants. ''Protector Olek.'' Only one participant standing beside the huge stage raised his hand and called Olek. "How much?" Olek didn''t waste any time as he directly came to the point. "2.5 million." The young man with a raven on his shoulder answered with a respectful look on his face. He was none other than Heavenly raven, who came out of the bronze demon world 30 minutes earlier than others. So,pared to the four personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, his score was a little less. "The participants with the least score climb down the stage." The protector Olek''s voice resounded as Bran from the Foreflow family clenched his fists as he got down the stage. While leaving the stage, Bran looked at Heavenly raven with hateful eyes. If looks could kill, then Heavenly raven would have died 100 times already. "What are these sudden surprises for us?" "Looks like the Foreglow family sure got a little too much of bad luck." Soon, another round of discussion when the protector Olek asked Bran to leave the huge stage. The Foreglow family had the chance to ascend to the level of the top sect in the future. However, now, that hope is shattered, and all the cultivators'' faces from the Foreglow family were ashen. ..... "These ten participants are the top scorers in the contest." Soon, the protector Olek said the scores of the new top 10 participants. Ajax:- 5.2 million. Levi:- 4 million. Fearless gori:- 3.5 million. Dark me:- 3.45 million. Silver goliath:- 3.4 million. . . . Luis:-2.1 million. "So, if anyone is not satisfied with seeing these 10 participants as the top 10 or if you think you are stronger than them, then you just challenge thest participant." The protector Olek gave a huge chance for everyone to challenge Luis, the participant who was in 10th ce. "However, only one participant can challenge him. So, those who think you can defeat Luis, then fight among yourselves, and the winner among you will be given that opportunity." Before the participants could feel happy, they lost hope with hisst words. ''Aargh'' ''Take this'' As soon as he said that, the participants started to fight among themselves; however, no matter how many strong attacks they used, there was no casualty because of the protector Olek. "You can challenge Luis, and as long as you win against him, you will take the tenth ce, and you can enjoy some good rewards from the royal family and me." The earlier fight among the participants onlysted for five minutes; however, because of the help from his friends, King killer got the chance to fight Luis. Snowstorm and others used their powerful skills to defeat other participants. Since only one participant can enter the top 10, they decided to get King killer into the top 10 because he can reach seventh or eighth if he used all his skills. All the top 10 participants get good rewards; however, there will be a drastic difference between each rank. So, if King killer can enter the seventh position or eighth position, he will be greatly benefited. ''Let''s check my mission.'' When the fight between Luis and King killer was about to start, Ajax checked his new mission. Chapter 764: Classification of the Worlds

Chapter 764: ssification of the Worlds

''Ding, Mission name:- Conquer the western foxnds. Danger rating:- B+ Reward:- Small world-traveling pass. More information:- Since the hostpletely conquered the Shixato wilds, it''s time to conquer the surrounding regions around Shixato wilds. Time limit:- One month. Penalty:- One random elemental paradise. Soon, the mission details were updated in front of him; however, there was no surprise on Ajax''s face as he already guessed it. ''After conquering the westernnds, I? guess, I have to conquer Mountain lion woods.'' Shixato wilds, Western foxnds, and Mountain lion words are the regions of the five elemental world. So, he guessed the next mission before he couldplete his current mission. ''The reward is quite good, but the penalty is also good.'' When there is a good reward, either the mission will be hard, or a time limit with a penalty will be mentioned. A small world-traveling pass will help a single cultivator journey to a smaller world with a specific time limit. The world is ssified into three types depending on the essence of nature and thews of the world. They are smaller, normal, and greater worlds. Currently, the one Ajax was living in is a normal world, where the essence of nature andws of the world can help the cultivators reach the cultivation realms above the elite general realms. However, the cultivators from the Zrochester province could not break through to the king realm. Because of the barrier that does not allow the pure essence of nature and the world''sws are messed up in the province. As for the smaller world, it will be the Bronze demon world where both the essence of nature and thews of the world are not good. Because of this, there were only ten bronze demon kings who were killed by the protector Olek. The greater world is still a mystery to the cultivators of the Zrochester province. However, myths were saying that they were very powerful and even their lowest cultivation resource can help the cultivators from smaller and normal worlds reach peak elite general realm. ''Once I conquer the western foxnds, I can go on a vacation to a smaller world.'' In a smaller world, the highest cultivation was the peak elite general realm, and unless they encountered fortuitous events, they wouldn''t have a chance to break through to the King realm. Even if they break through to the king realm, they can stay in that world, or rather, they will be kicked out of the world. The reason is, a King realm cultivator will absorb the essence of nature and disrupt thews with his presence. So, the moment he bes a king realm cultivator, he will leave that world on his own; instead of being kicked away by the world. So, for Ajax, entering a smaller world will be a vacation. Soon, he stopped thinking about the mission and looked at the fight in front of him. ''Huf Huf Both Luis and King killer were panting heavily after exchanging hundreds of blows. "If you have a grade three saber dao, I would not be a match for you. But, you don''t have a chance to beat me with your current power." Luis looked at King killer, who looked like he was severely injured, and said to him. "Really?" King killer showed a surprised look on his face as he asked Luis. "Of course; however, you can''t reach the grade 3 saber dao for another couple of years." Luis nodded his head as he took out his sword and rushed towards King killer before saying, "So, it''s time to end the battle." ''Sigh'' When Ajax heard those words, he shook his head and looked at Lusi with a face full of pity. "ng." When everyone thought that the King killer would be thrown out of the huge stage, the opposite happened. ''Kacha'' King killer not only blocked the iing sword, but he even broke it with an invisible sword. That''s right! The sword in King killer''s hand was not visible except for the hilt, which was not eye-catching. So, no one bothered about it. However, that invisible sword was so powerful that it broke the heaven-grade sword in Luis''s hand, and at the same time, it sent an invisible sword wave which sent Luis flying out of the stage. ''What the hell! He knew two-weapon daos?'' ''Both sword and saber are true killing weapons.'' What shocked the on-lookers more was King killer changed the weapon in his hand from saber to sword. He already showcased a grade 2 weapon dao in saber; however, they didn''t expect a grade 3 weapon dao in the sword. "Luis is defeated, and King killer will enter the top 10." Soon, the protector Olek announced the results and continued saying, "Now, no one will challenge you; however, that doesn''t mean your ranks are fixed." With a slight smile on his face, protector Olek said, "Except for Ajax, who is currently standing in the first position, everyone has one chance to challenge others." He started exining how the fight process works in a detailed way. In simpler words, the second-ranked participant can only challenge Ajax, and a third-ranked participant can either challenge the first ranked or second ranked participant. As for the tenth-ranked participant, he can challenge the nine participants above him; however, he had to choose only one participant. However, some onlookers felt it was not fair to thest ranked participant. "You don''t have to worry. As long as the participant wins in his challenge, he gets another challenge." The protector Olek slowly exined it and thought, ''I still don''t understand why that cultivator wanted me to do all this.'' Even though he didn''t understand theplete motive, he knew it was for Ajax; however, he didn''t know anything more than that. "Since King killer just fought. I will allow him to rest for one battle." Keeping his thoughts aside, the protector Olek said to everyone as he looked at a ck-robed young participant and said, "Alhan from the assassin sect, select whom you want to fight." In the current top 10 participants, Alhan is ranked ninth. So, the protector Olek asked him to select someone to fight. "I want to challenge Ajax." Among all the top 10 participants, Ajax was the only one who had the least cultivation. Almost everyone had reached peak level 10 general realm, and the highest cultivation was level 5 elite general realm. So, of course, he would choose Ajax. As for how Ajax got that much score is because of his luck, and he must have killed many one-meter and two-meter bronze demons. "Are you sure? If you lose the fight, you can''t fight another battle." The protector Olek likes to y with the young cultivators from the top powers as he intentionally created mysterious vibes around Ajax. ''Alhan, go for the Heavenly raven. Our intel tells that the personal disciples'' high score is a special technique called ''Nine men awakening''. With your cultivation, you can win against him without any difficulty. So, defeat him first and depending on his performance, go after others.'' The protector Olek''s words made Alhan fall into a dilemma, and at the same time, his master''s voice rang in his head. Chapter 765: Rise of King Killer

Chapter 765: Rise of King Killer

Alhan''s master was none other than the assassin sect leader Gerg. He had two personal disciples, Jastin and Ah. When the headquarters sent the cultivation resources that can allow only one disciple to enter into the elite general realm, he said that he would kill at least five participants in the champions contest. However, with the appearance of the protector Olek, his ns were spoiled. He was not worried much in the beginning. But, after the death of his first personal disciple, Jastin, he started feeling worried because he had to answer the headquarters for all the resources he had taken from them. From Alhan''s secret voice transmission, the sect leader Gerg got to know that Jastin''s death had something to do with Ajax. ''And still, this idiot wants to fight Ajax.'' He scolded his second personal disciples for his foolishness and asked him to fight others. "I want to fight Heavenly raven." After hearing his master''s angry voice in his head, Alhan changed his option without thinking much. "Fight" The protector Olek only said a single word as he interestingly watched the fight. Heavenly Raven, his name only became famous a few days back when the vagrant cultivators announced their personal disciples to the entire province. Alhan, one of the personal disciples of the assassin sect''s sect leader. He is the second-best disciple in the assassin sect, and if he were to sneak attack someone unless the cultivators were very alert, it was impossible to dodge his sneak attack. ''Caw'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as they climbed the huge stage, the small raven on Heavenly raven''s shoulder turned into a huge raven and rushed at Alhan at full speed. ''Swoosh'' "Too slow." As for Alhan, he easily dodged the iing attack from the huge raven and appeared in front of Heavenly raven. ''Now, die.'' ''sh'' Without giving any time for Heavenly raven to dodge, Alhan shed his small dagger at his opponent''s vital parts. Heavenly raven already knew the attacking style of the assassin sect''s disciples. So, he intentionally sent his contracted spirit beast at his opponent so that his opponent wille after him. "You fell for it." Before Alhan''s dagger could hit Heavenly raven, Alhan felt a slight pain on his back "Alhan, you lost." Alhan heard the protector Olek''s voice beside his ears and knew that the protector Olek had saved him and turned back to look. As he guessed, the protector Olek caressed the huge raven''s head as he announced the result of the battle. The battle onlysted for less than a minute before it came to an end. If not for the protector Olek, Alhan would have died right in front of his master''s eyes. Just thinking about it made Alhan''s back cover in sweat. Nevertheless, other than epting the announcement from the protector Olek, he can''t do anything else. So, with a bitter smile on his face, he went down from the stage. ''What? The match is over already?'' ''It''s been less than a minute?'' ''Also, how can a peak general realm cultivator defeat the level 3 elite general realm cultivator?'' Looking at the battle, which waspleted in a minute, the on-lookers were shocked. "No change in ranks." Soon, the protector Olek flew back to his seat in the sky as he continued, "Heavenly raven, you can rest." Heavenly raven nodded his head and climbed down the stage. "King killer, are you ready for your next battle?" Protector Olek asked King killer. As for King killer, he didn''t waste any time because climbing the huge state. "I wanted to challenge Alhan; however, since he just finished a battle, I will go for Brer from thebat king sect." At the same time, he didn''t wait for the protector Olek and directly selected his opponent. "Okay then. Start the battle." Protector Olek wanted to finish things as soon as possible. So, he liked King killer for being straightforward. Brer from thebat king sect who excels in fighting techniques. As for his cultivation, it has reached level 4 elite general realm with the help of the resources sent by their backer. Soon, the battle between them started as both of them used very powerful skills and attacking techniques. It was an eye-opener for the onlookers because it was their first time witnessing the battle between two young cultivators with such high cultivation. "Once again, King killer is the winner of this battle." After 30 minutes of an intense battle, the protector Olek announced the fight''s result, which once again caused heated discussions among the on-lookers. However, the protector Olek proceeded for the next fight. "King killer versus Alhan." "King killer wins." "King killer versus Arkor." "King killer wins." King killer didn''t take any break as he fought two battles back to back. Even though he didn''t want to fight Alhan because he already had a high rankingpared to Alhan. However, Alhan intentionally provoked King killer. Killer killer is an arrogant young man when someone humiliates or mocks him, and If he had enough confidence, he would ept the challenge without any hesitation. The same thing happened when he was about to select his next opponent. So, he selected Alhan instead of Arkor. Nevertheless, in a row, he fought two battles and won them back to back. Hisst battle was not an easy one. He won just because he had additional information on Arkor; otherwise, he would have lost it. Actually, the reason for Heavenly raven''s easy win was also because everyone in the Zrochester province with little strength knows about the mostmonly used attacks and skills. And the reason was because of the arrogance of the young geniuses from the top powers. They used to say, ''If you can just withstand one of my attacks, I will give 10000 spirit stones.'' Today, that arrogance made them defeated in the champions'' contests because of the King killer and Heavenly raven. "Congrattions, King killer, for reaching rank 7. Do you want to challenge anyone, or do you want to rest?" Protector Olek was impressed by King killer''s battle style, which was almost simr to Edmond, who he thought to make the next guardian of the Zrochester province. "Thank you, Protector Olek, for your kind words. I don''t want to challenge anyone anymore.?I am quite satisfied with my current rank." Since the top six ces belong to his friends, King killer didn''t want to fight them. Moreover, he didn''t have the confidence to win against Fearless gori and Silver goliath. As for Heavenly raven, they have equal battle prowess. So, he didn''t want to fight anymore. "Okay." Protector Olek nodded his head and announced the new top 10 participants interchanged ranking. 1. Ajax 2. Levi 3. Fearless gori 4. Dark me 5. Silver goliath 6. Heavenly raven 7. King killer 8. Arkor 9. Brer 10. Alhan Soon, a huge screen appeared on the huge stage where everyone could see the top 10 participants of the champions contest. "Looks like the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators are going to be powerhouses of the Zrochester province." Everyone thought the same thing in their heads. "Brer, whom do you want to fight?" Since Alhan had already lost the chance to challenge others, the protector Olek asked Brer, who is currently in ninth ce. "I want to fight Ajax." Chapter 766: Ajax versus Brer

Chapter 766: Ajax versus Brer

"I want to fight Ajax." Brer looked at all the participants ranked above him and selected Ajax. He had thought a lot before his decision. Initially, he felt all the participants ranked above him except for Arkor were only in that ce because of luck. However, after seeing the battle prowess of King killer and Heavenly raven''s single battle where he did nothing but stand, he changed his decision to challenge them one by one. And, he felt Ajax was the only one he felt confident in defeating because of Ajax''s low cultivation. ''Even though I can''t keep the first position for much time, I will at least stay there for a few minutes.'' Like Brer, others will also get the chance to challenge him, and when that happens, he will lose that ce. "Let the battle begin." Protector Olek also wanted to see Ajax''s battle; however, the ck-robed old man asked him to stop Alhan from fighting Ajax for some unknown reason. So, he asked Alhan to think about it when he selected Ajax to challenge. Soon, Ajax and Brer walked onto the stage. "I don''t know how you got that much score, but I am going to defeat you." As soon as he finished his words, Brer''s body bulged and showcased his muscles. "it, Necros,e out." As for Ajax, he summoned the two elemental spirits, which everyone knew from the top powers of the Zrochester province. ''Earth Shield'' ''Earth clones'' ''Undead summon'' The moment the two elemental spirits were summoned, they used theirmon yet powerful skills. it''s earth shield protected Ajax, Necros, and it, whereas Necros'' undead warriors and it''s earth clones fought Brer. ''Puu'' ''Shh'' The earth clones were very weak, and Brer destroyed them within a few seconds, and his next target was Necros'' undead warrior. ''Undead fusion'' Ajax never bothered about earth clones because they were very weak, and Necros used his other skill with a rxed expression on his face. Soon, the five undead warriors merged and became one entity. "Oh. Now, you became bigger? So what? I am going to destroy you anyway." Brer took a deep breath and rushed towards the huge undead warrior to destroy it. Generally, thebat king sect disciples excel in a close-range battle. They rarely use weapons. Instead ofprehending the weapon dao, theyprehend daos in a fist, kick, and other daos. Brer had already reached grade 3 in both Fist and Kick dao. So, Brer was able to destroy the earth clones with his bare hands and legs. If he used his full power, he could severely injure the level 10 elite general realm cultivator. "Disperse" However, before Brer''s attack couldnd on the huge undead warrior, it disappeared into smoke which went into Necros'' body. ''What?'' Brer frowned when he saw Ajax was toying with him. ''Why would someone summon back such a powerful undead warrior before it even starts to fight?'' It was the thought in Brer and everyone''s mind. Except for the protector Olek, no one knew the reason for Ajax''s actions which made everyone confused. "Are you already scared? Haha." Brer could only think that Ajax was scared to fight him. When this thought came to his mind, Brer''s confidence increased to another level, and he felt like he already won the fight against Ajax. "Haha" When Ajax and his elemental spirits heard Brer''s words, they could not help butugh along with him, making Brer frown. ''Are they idiots or what?'' ''Why are theyughing like that?'' ''Maybe, they knew they couldn''t win against Brer. So, they are acting like maniacs...Haha.'' Not only Brer, but all the on-lookers thought that something was wrong with Ajax''s mind. "Necros, finish it soon." Ajax could hear the whispers of the onlookers, which made him shake his head. Nevertheless, he asked Necros to finish the fight as soon as possible. ''With your current cultivation, I can kill you with a single punch.'' Brer didn''t attack Necros; instead, he mocked Necros. "I heard everyone from thebat king sect knows how to brag. Looks like what I heard was right." Necros shook his head. Necros had never heard of thebat king sect before today; however, he said some words to provoke Brer into attacking him. Only then could he finish the fight as soon as possible. "What did you say?" Necros'' little trick indeed worked as Brer rushed towards him, face full of rage. ''Thud'' However, Necros didn''t bother to dodge or attack; instead, he allowed Brer to attack him. "See, what you said earlier was just bragging as I ampletely fine even after receiving your full-powered attack." Necros shrugged as he looked at Brer, who had a shocked expression on his face. "You might be lucky." After hearing Necros'' words, Brer woke up from his shock and suppressed it before using his grade 3 kick dao. ''Thud'' However, just like before, there was no effect on Necros. "Thud" "Swoosh" "Thud" Seeing that his attacks had no effects on Brer, he was feeling frustrated, and at the same time, he was bing anxious. Because if he lost now, he would be a joke in front of the whole Zrochester province. So, he used his full power to continuously attack in various ces to find Necros'' weak spot without wasting any time. However, Brer didn''t know that Necros had only one weakness when he was in immunity mode, and it was energy attacks. Even if the energy attacks were low-level, they would do significant damage to Necros. But, very few disciples from thebat king sect had energy attacks, and Brer was not one of them. He haspletely dedicated his life to learning various attacking styles without the use of weapons. "Necros, it is enough. Just finish it already." While Brer was trying his best to find a physical weakness in Necros'' body, Ajaxzily asked Necros to finish the fight. "Okay, summoning master." Necros is a dark elemental spirit that likes to enjoy toying with his opponent. Brer was not Necros''s opponent when he was in immunity mode. But still, he was giving Brer some hope from time to time by letting out painful groans. So, Ajax felt bad for Brer. So, he asked Necros to finish the fight. "Blind" "I give up." Necros directly used his first skill to cut off Brer''s senses, and without giving him any chance, he directly kicked him out of the huge stage. Brer was already tired after continuously using his full-powered attacks on Necros. So, when his senses were cut off, Brer felt like he was falling into an endless abyss and directly gave up. "The fight between Ajax and Brer, Ajax wins." With a slight smile on his face, the protector Olek announced the result of the fight. Even though Ajax didn''t use any attack or skill in the fight and his summons did everything, the credit still goes to Ajax because he was a summoner. It was very rare to see a high-level summoner fight in the battles because the elemental spirits had a wide range of skills that would change the result of the fights. "Arkor, who do you want to challenge?" "Ajax." Arkor looked at Ajax and replied to protector Olek without any hesitation. Chapter 767: Breaking into the general realm

Chapter 767: Breaking into the general realm

After the battle between Ajax and Brer ended, Brer''s rank was now fixed at ninth. As for the eighth-ranked participant, he was none other than Arkor, the genius disciple of the fire sword sect. When protector Olek asked him, Arkor didn''t pick Ajax because of his low cultivation; instead, he wanted to defeat Ajax to show that the Heavengroove mercenary squad member is nothing in front of him a disciple of the fire sword sect. "Start the battle." Protector Olek asked them to start the battle after asking Ajax whether he wanted to fight or take a break? ''Swoosh'' ''Fire god''s annihtion strike'' As soon as Arkor heard those words, he didn''t waste any time and rushed forward to attack Ajax. ''Aargh'' Ajax didn''t expect Arkor to attack him with a powerful skill from the start. Even though he saw the attack, Ajax was slow to react even with his lightning cloud steps. Before he could use the ''Teleport'' effect from the lightning cloud steps, there was a cut on his chest that made him groan in pain. Even though Arkor had a technique name, he didn''t use it; instead, he used a normal sh with his fire sword. ''Too slow'' Arkor mocked Ajax as he continued to sh at him without giving him any chance to escape. Among the youngsters in the Zrochester province, Arkor has the highest cultivation, a level 6 elite general realm. So, his speed was so fast that Ajax barely saw Arkor''s attacks. "Looks like Ajax can''t win against Arkor." "Ajax is already great that he reached until her with his low cultivation level." "Yes. However, he will be stronger than anyone in the Zrochester province." While Ajax was receiving the attacks from Arkor, the on-looks concluded that Ajax had no chance to win against Arkor. Nevertheless, they felt Ajax had already proved himself, and that''s enough for now. Moreover, when he has enough cultivation level, then no will be his match. ''Thud'' After making hundreds of cuts on Ajax''s body, Arkor kicked him before saying, "You can admit defeat if you don''t want me to torture anymore." There was a hint of disgust in his tone while saying those words. ''...'' The guild master and others didn''t know what to say when they saw Arkor''s speed. ''With this speed, before our personal disciples could use any of their attacks, they will be defeated by him.'' ''It is his ''fire god''s speed''. When he was using this skill, he can''t use any of his powerful attacks or techniques; however, the speed will reach an incredible speedparable to the peak elite general realm.'' ''Looks like Ajax had lost.'' The vagrant cultivators knew that Arkor had got the fire god''s inheritance, and that was the reason his battle prowess was much higher than his cultivation level. ''Damn it...he is so fast. My spatial des can''t hit him.'' Ajax cursed as he muttered to himself before saying, "it, earth shield." As soon as he called out, it appeared in front of him, and without wasting any time, he used his earth shield skill. "Huh? Now you want to hide in your turtle shell?" Looking at the thin earth barrier around Ajax, Arkor scoffed at him and started attacking the barrier. Even though it was only a peak elitemander realm elemental spirit, the barrier can stop the attacks of an average level 5 elite general realm cultivator... Arkor was not an average level 6 elite general realm cultivator; however, he can''t use his full strength because of his speed mode. At present, his strength was barely at level 1 elite general realm. It was the consequence of godly speed. So, Arkor never thought about it much because he felt he could kill his opponent before realizing what was happening. ''Break'' As for Ajax, he didn''t dy his breakthrough to the general realm any longer as he directly crushed all the energy orbs in his spirit consciousness. ''Boom'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, there was a huge explosion in his spirit consciousness. The rich essence of nature and some unknown energy poured out of the energy orb. That energy hit the borders of the spirit consciousness and started pushing the borders. ''Aargh'' And the most important thing was the pain. The pain Ajax experienced is the cruelest one in his entire life, and he felt like he can''t withstand it. ''Don''t lose hope.'' ''Enduring it, and you will gain power.'' ''You can find out the whereabouts of your parents.'' However, the old voice in his head appeared from time to time and encouraged him. At some point in time, the normal words didn''t affect Ajax; however, when the old voice used the word ''Parents'', Ajax''s consciousness became alert. ''My parents?'' ''Do you know where they are?'' ''Am I going to meet them after breaking into the general realm?'' Ajax clenched his fists as he continued to endure the pain and asked various questions to the old voice in his head. However, he didn''t get any reply from the old voice, making him a little disappointed. ''As long as you are strong, you can not only know about your parents, and you can even meet them.'' When Ajax was once again losing hope in enduring the pain, the old voice in his head said another sentence that made Ajax''s heartbeat increase. ''Kacha'' Just as Ajax regained his consciousness, he heard a crisp sound from his spirit consciousness. ''What? It''s broken?'' He was shocked by what he had seen inside his body. Cracks started forming on the spherical-shaped spirit consciousness in his body, making him anxious. When he was feeling anxious over his broken spirit consciousness, the diameter of the spirit consciousness started decreasing. ''What is happening?'' Ajax still didn''t understand what was happening with his spirit consciousness; however, except for watching it, he can''t do anything else. "What is happening to him all of a sudden?" "Isn''t he alright until now?" "Arkor didn''t even attack that kid, but he was already groaning in pain." While Ajax was groaning in pain, all the on-lookers felt something was wrong with Ajax. The thing is, Arkor didn''t even attack him yet. So, no one knew what was happening. Some entity blocked even protector Olek''s spirit consciousness. So, he was also in the same boat as others. Soon, his spirit consciousness decreased in its size by half, but there were some changes to it. Previously, it didn''t have any colour; however, the current spirit consciousness was shining with gold colour. ''Is it over?'' After the spirit consciousness turned into a golden colour, there were no movements from it. ''Swoosh'' Just as he thought the process of breaking through to the general realm was over, the golden colour spirit consciousness once again started condensing in its size. It continued until it became the size of a spirit stone. ''Swoosh'' The changes didn''t stop there, and suddenly, a small grain-sized golden coloured core came out of the spirit consciousness. It looked simr to the golden-colour spirit consciousness; however, it was smaller than the golden coloured spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking into the general realm. ''Phew'' Finally, the much-awaited system notification came to his head, making him heave a sigh of relief. Chapter 768: System 3.0

Chapter 768: System 3.0

''Holy heavens.'' ''He broke through into the general realm.'' ''Do you think the current Ajax had any chance of winning against Arkor?'' ''I doubt it, though.'' ''Right! Even though he broke into the general realm, Arkor''s speed is at level 10 elite general realm.'' ''Moreover, the barrier he was hiding in will notst for much time.'' When Ajax broke through into the general realm, it created a heated discussion among the onlookers. Protector Olek had a frown because he didn''t understand what stopped him from seeing Ajax''s spirit consciousness. The sect leaders of the top three sects werepletely shocked at Ajax''s breakthrough. The family heads of the five great families were a little happy, and at the same time, they were nning something else. They were happy because the sect''s disciples, who act invincible among the younger generation, got a toughpetitor. Even though Ajax might lose today, in the future, it will be stronger than anyone else in the Zrochester province in a few years. Simrly, the low-level families were hoping that Ajax should win the fight against Arkor. Because not only their younger generation, even the older generation was bullied by the disciples of the top sects. So, of course, they would pray the heavens for Ajax''s win. ''Huh?'' Just like others, Arkor also noticed Ajax''s breakthrough to the general realm and frowned. "I need to defeat him soon." Even though Ajax breaking into the general realm will not make much difference for Arkor, he thought to finish it as soon as possible. Moreover, the earth shield was almost on the verge of getting destroyed. So, he didn''t waste any time as he started punching the barrier. ''Is it over? Phew.'' Finally, when he got the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Rumble'' However, suddenly, the golden spirit consciousness, which was about the size of a pigeon egg, started shaking and made a rumbling sound. ''Puchi'' Soon, another grain-side pill came out of the golden spirit consciousness making Ajax raise his brows. ''What is the use of these two grain-sized golden colour orbs?'' Ajax muttered to himself, looking at the two small orbs that were revolving around the golden spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The system''s upgrade ispleted. ''Ding, Noticed the host''s cultivation increased to the general realm. ''Ding, New features are unlocked for the system''s upgrade and the increase in the host''s cultivation. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness'' capacity is rounded off to 20000 units. ''Ding, The system sensed two vitality orbs around the host''s spirit consciousness. The host reached level 2 general realm. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness''s capacity increased by 1500 units. Note:- (500 units for first vitality orb and 1000 units for second vitality orb.) Before Ajax could understand what was happening, his head was filled with many system notifications, and they continued toe. However, with each system notification, Ajax became excited and hoped he would get even more system notifications. ''Ding, All the host''s elemental spirits will be automatically upgraded to level 1 general realm. (Only those below the general realm). ''Ding, Please check every feature carefully. Finally, after a minute or so, the system stopped sending notifications. ''Holy heavens...what should I check?'' There were so many system notifications. Ajax didn''t know where to start. Nevertheless, he took a casual nce at every system notification and understood some of the changes. One, the most important thing is the system finished its upgrade. Two, he broke through to the level 2 general realm, and those two grain-sized orbs revolving the spirit consciousness were called vitality orbs. He also guessed that these vitality orbs were rted to his cultivation. ''So, can I use the monster peach pills to break into the elite general realm?'' Since he can now use the monster peach pills, he thought of using one pill; however, he asked the system for a suggestion before that. ''Ding, Currently, the host has two cultivation paths. One, he can consume a monster peach pill and break through to level 2 elite general realm. ''Ding, As for the second, it is a good method to increase the cultivation; however, unless the host agrees to follow this cultivation path, I can''t reveal it. ''Ding, Please choose a decision after thinking for some time. Unlike system 2.0, system 3.0 was acting very generous and didn''t force him with any option. ''Hmm...what should I choose?'' Ajax fell into a dilemma because both the methods are good in his view. Choosing the first option can directly elevate his cultivation to the level 2 elite general realm. With that, he can wage war on the assassin sect after checking his army. And if he chose the second option, his revenge might be dyed by a few months because he was very sure that his elemental spirits and his contracted spirit beasts would be even stronger within a few months. Not to mention the golden wyvern king, who is currently a peak rank 6, and Darbaudr, the barbarian. Ajax uses the upgrade stone and sess stone to upgrade the seal breakingpass to legend grade, breaking any seal below the king''s realm. ''Golden wyvern king, Darbaudr, and the forest fairy king who owes me a favour. It seems a good force to wage war on the assassin sect. But the problem is other top powers and the king of the spirit beast kings who don''t like wars.'' Ajax had to think something about the king of the spirit beast kings. So, he will not have any problem. ''System, what are the benefits of the¡­.'' ''Kacha'' When Ajax was about to ask the system about the benefits of both the options, the earth shield shattered. ''Earth shield.'' As soon as it was shattered, it summoned another shield which was much thicker and stronger than the previous one. That''s right! Since it had just broken through to the general realm, his earth shield automatically leveled up. Now, the earth shield can stop the attacks of peak elite general realm cultivators without much difficulty. "it, remove the earth shield. Let''s finish the fight as soon as possible. We have so much to do after this contest." Ajax stood up and asked it to remove the barrier. "Yes, summoning master." it nodded his head as he curiously looked at his master. Because, just a few moments back, he felt some powerful energy in his body, which helped him to break through into the general realm. "Good. Now, it is what I call a true fighting spirit." Why would Arkor not be happy? Since there is no barrier, Ajax was just a fish on the chopping board waiting to be cut into pieces. As soon as he finished his words, he nced at the protector Olek before rushing towards Ajax. ''If possible, I have to kill him at any cost because there will be no consequences for killing him, and everyone will me protector Olek for being unable to stop my attack.'' Even though Arkor knew it was impossible to kill his opponent under the watchful eyes of the protector Olek, Arkor wanted to try it. ''Swoosh'' However, just when he was almost sure that he would kill Ajax, Arkor saw Ajax disappear from his ce. ''Oh no.'' Arkor''s face was entirely covered in sweat. Chapter 769: Final ranking

Chapter 769: Final ranking

Arkor''s forehead was entirely covered in sweat because he felt a bad premonition and hurriedly tried to dodge the attack. "Not so soon." ''Ting'' Arkor heard Ajax''s words beside his ear along with a metallic swinging sound. ''Come out, everyone.'' Arkor didn''t know what he was doing because he felt like he would die if he didn''t use his final trump card. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he did that, three elemental spirits cultivations of level 8, level 6, and level 4 elite general realm appeared and blocked Ajax''s inheritance sword. All three elemental spirits were in red-colour, and with a look, anyone could say that they were fire elemental spirits. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised by the sudden appearance of the elemental spirits; however, he soon suppressed it and disappeared from his ce before appearing 20 meters away from his earlier position. "What? Arkor is a summoner?" "He even has three elemental spirits with such high cultivations." "Compared to Ajax''s dark elemental spirit, they were too powerful." "Until earlier, I had a small hope of Ajax''s win; however, with the appearance of the elemental spirits." Not only Ajax, everyone except for the sect leader of the fire sword sect were shocked by the sudden appearance of the elemental spirits. Actually, except for Arkor''s master, no one from the entire Zrochester province knew that he was a summoner because he didn''t want others to know about it. He wanted to summon his elemental spirits after reaching the top level in the Zrochester province; however, today, he had to summon his elemental spirits to save his life because of Ajax. "Ajax, I am going to kill you today." Thinking about his dream, Arkor became angry and shouted at Ajax before ordering his elemental spirits, "You know what to do, right? As long as you kill him, I will ask my master to allow you into the ''Fire sword pool''." Unlike Jastin, Arkor was not harsh with his elemental spirits. As long as they do something for him, he would reward them with valuable items. In the beginning, there were many items he could give them; however, with the increase in their cultivation, those items became useless except for one cultivation resource, which had some use for these elemental spirits. As for the ''Fire sword pool'', it is a grade 1 elemental paradise created by the previous sect leader of the fire sword sect. "Thank you, summoning master." All the elemental spirits became excited when they heard Arkor''s words. Even though he could kill Ajax for himself with his speed, he decided to let his elemental spirits defeat him because he made him summon them. "You want a summoner battle?" Ajax looked at the three iing elemental spirits and asked Arkor; however, before he could reply, Ajax himself answered the question, "No. I have other things to do. So, I will finish this battle as soon as possible." Without any hesitation, he clenched the inheritance sword in his hand and looked at the protector Olek for a second before shouting, "Enemy annihtion." ''Puchi'' ''Boom'' The inheritance entered into the huge stage without any difficulties and what happened next was a huge explosion. However, when he saw Ajax''s look, the protector Olek felt something was wrong and became a little alert because he already saw how powerful the attack could be. So, he cast a barrier, and before the energy waves could hit Arkor, the protector Olek appeared beside him and saved him. "Ajax wins and stays in his first rank." Before the dust could settle, the protector Olek''s voice resounded in the surroundings. As for Arkor''s elemental spirits, luckily, they were still alive. Even though the protector Olek created a barrier around those three elemental spirits, they were so close to Ajax which made them injure despite the pace there was a barrier around them. ''Holy heavens!'' ''What is that attack!'' ''See! Even the huge stage that was filled with many strength runes is destroyed.'' ''To repair the stage, the royal family has to spend quite a lot of spirit stones.'' Everyone started whispering about Ajax''s skill that could even kill a cultivator of level 6 elite general from a distance of more than 20 meters. As for the elemental spirits, they would definitely if they were very close to Ajax. ''This skill became even more powerful.'' Even Ajax was shocked by the first skill of the inheritance sword because this was his first time using the skill after entering the general realm. ''I need to find the other two sword inheritances and unlock the two more skills.'' Since the first skill was already very powerful, Ajax became curious about the other two skills and wanted to find them as soon as possible. "Do you have any problem with the result?" The protector Olek asked Arjor with a slight smile on his face. No matter how much the protector Olek was shocked, he would always show the same slight smile on his face. "No." Arkor, who was still in shock after seeing Ajax''sst attack, felt his soul was shaken. With the protector Olek''s words, he came out of his shock and shook his head, and without saying anything, he summoned back his three elemental spirits; he went back to stand with other top ten participants. He felt like Ajax was the true monster among the young participants he had seen so far. No one was a match for him. "Okay." Protector Olek nodded his head and asked Heavenly raven and others whether they want to challenge others or not? The reply he got from them was a ''No''. Since everyone was friends with one another and most of them didn''t have any confidence to win against Levi and Ajax. So, they didn''t want to fight. As for their true battle prowess, it will be shown when required, and there was no need for them to showcase their abilities in front of everyone. "Since no one wants to challenge others, the final ranking among you will be announced." As soon as the protector Olek said that, a huge mirror screen appeared right above the huge stage. 1. Ajax 2. Levi 3. Fearless gori 4. Dark me 5. Silver goliath 6. Heavenly raven 7. King killer 8. Arkor 9. Brer 10. Alhan Soon, the names of the top ten participants of the champions contest appeared on the mirror screen. Apparently, there were no changes from the earlier disy of the ranks. "Damn it!" When the top powers of the Zrochester province saw the ranking list, they cursed themselves because they not only failed toplete the mission given by their backers, they also didn''t manage to get the top five rankings despite using so many resources. "We are proud of you." While the leading figures were cursing, the vagrant cultivators were proud of their personal disciples. They didn''t expect six of their personal disciples to enter the top 10, and the most important thing was their ranking was higher than the geniuses of the top powers. "Looks like there will many changes and assassination attempts in the future." As for the low-level families and wandering cultivators, they were happy that the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators got a good rankingpared to top powers'' geniuses. "Now, it''s reward time." Protector Olek''s voice got the attention of everyone who was busy in their own thoughts. Chapter 770: Rewards from the royal family

Chapter 770: Rewards from the royal family

Champions contest! It is the biggest contest in the Zrochester province where young genius cultivators will be invited to join it. Even though many will be injured or killed every year. All the young genius cultivators who were invited by the royal family will join it. As for the reason, it was for the rewards. As long as one entered the top 10, they will be given a good reward which will either help them in their cultivation or assist them in the battles. So, when the protector Olek said it is the reward time, then everyone stopped thinking about other things and focused on the protector Olek. "I know you were very curious about my rewards to them but I will make you wait for some time." The protector Olek maintained the? same slight smile on his face as he looked at King Stephen draton and said, "What is your royal family going to give him?" Since the champions contest was originally conducted by the royal family, they should give the rewards to the top 10 participants. "We will not dare topare my royal family''s rewards with the protector''s rewards." Stephen draton stood up from his royal chair and continued saying, "However, since the champions contest is the traditional event of my royal family, we will give the best items from my royal treasury." As soon as he finished his words, Stephen draton appeared on the stage. "Alhan, this is for you." Without wasting any time, he took a ck-coloured assassin god''s statue out of thin air and gave it to Alhan, who is ranked tenth. "Thank you, your majesty." When he saw the statue, Alhan was not surprised because it was not a secret for the assassin sect that the royal family has 3 statues in their possession. So, he took it with an excited look on his face. Even though he was ranked tenth, with this statue in his hands, he was satisfied. Also, there is another reward from the protector Olek that will be good. "Brer¡­.abat technique crystal which was lost with the passage of time." "Arkor...a peak heaven grade ''Fire sword''." "Heave grade Enlightenment crystals are for Fearless gori, Dark me, Silver goliath, Heavenly Raven, and King killer. Since you didn''t want to fight one another, I am assuming you five members have the same level of battle prowess and I will give an enlightenment crystal to each of you." King Stephen continued to give rewards one after another; however, for the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, he decided to give the same type of reward. "Thank you, your majesty, for such a great item; however, giving 5 enlightenment crystals for us is a waste. Why don''t you change two of our rewards to something else." Fearless gori, as his name suggests, was fearless and asked Stephen draton to change two of their rewards. Enlightenment crystal, when it is used, will help the cultivators to understand the mysteries of their cultivation techniques, skill, weapon dao, and there is even a small chance ofprehending thews of the world. However, in his lifetime, a cultivator can only use these crystals three times. After that, there will be no use other than wasting such a valuable crystal. Even though they were five cultivators, actually, not only these five but their other four brothers and sisters were all considered as a single entity. So, for these nine cultivators, they only need three enlightenment crystals. That is the reason why Fearless Gori asked the King to change two of his rewards. "..." Everyone became speechless when they heard the Fearless gori''s words and could not help but whisper among themselves which made Stephen draton angry. If not for the protector Olek, he would have killed Fearless gori for being audacious in front of him. "Take four mid-level spirit stones." Nevertheless, the King threw four mid-level spirit stones at Fearless Gori while taking back the two enlightenment crystals. "As for the second-ranked Levi, you can enter the sacred pool of the royal family which will be opening in a week from now and the time limit is one day." After changing the rewards, he didn''t bother with the Fearless gori, and looking at Levi, the king announced the reward for him which caused a heated discussion in the onlookers. The sacred pool of the royal family is very beneficial to any cultivator below level 10 elite general realm. Even if a level 9 elite general realm cultivator enters the sacred pool for a few days, he would definitelye out as a level 10 elite general realm cultivator. So, one can imagine how valuable that sacred pool is in the royal family that even the vagrant cultivators or other powers didn''t have any resource close to the sacred pool. However, the sacred pool requires tons of resources and even the royal family uses the sacred pool once a year or once in two years depending on their resources. Generally, they will open a week after thepletion of the champions contest. So, Levi was given a one-day pass to enter the sacred pool. "I hope you will at least increase your cultivation by two minor realms. So, don''t disappoint me and your master." With a slight smile on his face, Stephen dratonpleted his rewards for the nine participants and Ajax was the only one remaining. "Ajax, since your cultivation is only level 1, you can enter the sacred pool for an entire week? until we close the sacred pool." Soon, the king took out a golden-coloured talisman with two words ''Sacred pool'' on it, and gave it to Ajax. "Thank you, your majesty, b..." ''Ding, The system suggests the host not reject or change the chance to enter the sacred pool for a week. Even though you don''t have any use for the sacred energy, some of your elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts can use this chance to awaken or get enlighten. ''Ding, Other than improving the cultivation realms, the sacred pool has many mysterious effects on different beings. Since the pure essence of nature can''t help him in breaking through in his cultivation realms, Ajax wanted to change his rewards to something else just like Fearless gori; however, the system interrupted him and exined that the sacred pool is an invaluable treasure. "That is only one of your rewards, you have other rewards too." Stephen draton took out an enlightenment crystal, two mid-level spirit stones and gave it to Ajax. "These are for me?" Cultivating inside the sacred pool for a week is already considered a huge reward. So, when he received enlightenment crystal and mid-level spirit stones, Ajax was surprised but he didn''t hesitate to take them. As soon as he took them, Ajax threw them in his inventory. "Yes, and there is another reward for you." Stephen draton maintained the slight smile on his face as he thought for a second before asking Ajax, "Which weapon do you want? A spear or a sword?" "Another reward?" When they heard their king''s words, all the onlookers werepletely shocked because they felt Stephen was rewarding Ajax a little too many things which made them think that Ajax was his illegitimate son. Chapter 771: Rewards from Olek

Chapter 771: Rewards from Olek

"A battle-axe. I want a battle-axe." Ajax didn''t bother about the shocked expressions of the on-lookers and selected a weapon. For sword dao, Ajax had an inheritance sword which was currently at a legendary grade. Simrly, for the spear dao, he had the bloodlust spear which can turn into a heaven''s destroyer form. Even that spear is also at legendary grade after killing many beings. Even though he can''t use the longbow dao yet, he already had a legendary grade longbow in the tower. So, all he wanted right now is a battle-axe. So, without thinking much, he directly chose a battle-axe. "A battle-axe?" Stephen Draton didn''t expect Ajax to request a battle-axe; however, he didn''t bother much about it. Since he asked Ajax to choose a weapon, then he had to give it to him. "Yes, your majesty." Ajax nodded his head. "Your luck is good. There is a broken battle-axe in my treasury. Before it was broken, it was a legendary realm; however, currently, there is no soul in it and it degraded into a low-heaven grade." Stephen draton exined about the broken battle-axe in the royal treasury and asked Ajax, "If you don''t mind, I can give it to you; however, if you don''t like the broken battle-axe, you can choose other than a battle axe." Stephen draton was so sure that Ajax would definitely select the battle-axe because of the battle-axe''s past. Also, there was a particr reason why he wanted to give that battle-axe and even exined it in front of everyone. Because all the top powers will go after Ajax for this battle-axe and from the looks of it, Ajax is close to the vagrant cultivators. So, in the end, there are high chances that a battle between the vagrant cultivators and the top powers of the Zrochester province will happen. "I will take it." As Stephen expected, Ajax nodded his head and decided to take the broken battle-axe. Since Stephen Draton nned to use the broken battle-axe to cause some waves in the top powers of the Zrochester province, he brought it in his space ring and gave it to Ajax in front of everyone. ''We have to get it at any cost.'' This was the only thought in every leading figures'' head except for assassin sect leader Gerg. In his life, he decided not to get involved with Ajax ever again. Because of Ajax, their sect was barely maintaining a connection with the headquarters and he still didn''t have any clue when it would be cut off again. "That''s it, protector Olek. My royal family finished rewarding them. You don''t need to reward them." Since the champions contest is conducted by the royal family, Stephen casually asked the protector Olek to not give any reward because even a small reward from him could make him jealous. "Haha¡­don''t worry. Since I promised to reward them, I will reward them." Protector Olek startedughing and replied to Stephen before saying to him, "You can go and sit in your ce." "Yes, protector Olek." Stephen didn''t dare to stand on the huge stage anymore as he went back to his majestic chair. "Alhan, I will give you¡­..this." Just like Stephen, Protector Olek also started rewarding them from the bottom. So, he started with Alhan and sent a ck colour orb. "As long as youpletely absorb that energy orb, there is a 50 percent chance for you toprehend the dark element." Before Alhan knew what was happening, the energy orb entered into his spirit consciousness; however, protector Olek''sst words helped him understand the usage of the ck-coloured energy orb. "Thank you...thank you so much, protector Olek." Alhan was over the moon when he heard the use of the energy and hurriedly thanked Olek. Because Alhan knew that to enter the king realm, a cultivator needs to getprehended into their affinity element along with two other conditions. So, he was excited because his confidence in entering the king realm increased by a lot. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" After that, the protector Olek sent two more energy orbs into Brer and Arkor. One energy orb was in red colour whereas the other one was the khaki colour. "Brer, you have a 70 percent chance to getprehension in earth element, and Arkor, you have an 85 percent chance to getprehension into the fire element." "I hope you three can try your best toprehend your respective affinity elements to pave your path to the king realm." The protector Olek exined about their reward and next looked at Edmond''s adopted children. "I heard that you awakened the ''nine-men awakening''. So, I will give you this special legendary grade artifact which will make you add another person into your squad and your nine-men awakening will change into ten-men awakening." While saying that, the protector Olek gave a pendant to Fearless gori. "Thank you, protector." All five of them thanked Olek because they already knew who was the right person for their ten-men awakening. However, they will discuss with that person after theyplete this champions contestpletely. With the addition of another cultivator, their cultivation speed will be increased and if they take some cultivators with high cultivation realm into their ten men awakening, then their cultivation will also be increased. However, they need to train that cultivator a little and need to form a bond with them. Only then, they could use the ten-men awakening pendant to add him to their team. "Since you are an earth elemental user, I will give you this reward." Just as the protector Olek finished his words, a brown colour energy orb entered into Levi''s spirit consciousness. This time, Olek didn''t give any exnation because it was the same energy orb that he had sent to Brer; however,pared to the energy orb that entered into Brer''s spirit consciousness, this energy orb was much bigger and much darker in colour. Just with a nce, anyone could say that Levi''s energy orb was more valuable than Brer''s energy orb. "Thank you, protector." Levi didn''t worry much about the conditions to enter the king realm because he was confident enough to reach the king with his current cultivation realm as he will go back to his province when he reaches peak level 10 to breakthrough into the king realm. In his province, king realm cultivators were there; however, it was limited to less than ten members. Also, there might be some hidden king realm cultivators who didn''t want to involve themselves with the outer world. "Ajax, as for your reward, take this." After settling everyone, the protector Oleky slowly came towards Ajax and took a white colour talisman out of nowhere, and gave it to Ajax. "Protector Olek, what is this?" Even though he could use the system to find out about the white-coloured talisman, he didn''t want to use the system; instead, he wanted to know about it from the protector Olek himself. "Haha" To Ajax''s reply, the protector Olek startedughing loudly, making everyone around him puzzled as they thought of a reason for protector Olek''s suddenugh. "You have to find out about it. When?you find out about the talisman, you can use it." Soon, Olek said something before disappearing from the broken huge stage. Chapter 772: World Core Cultivation System

Chapter 772: World Core Cultivation System

Since he had finished giving the rewards, the protector Olek didn''t have anything to do with the province''s internal affairs. As for the talisman in Ajax''s hands, it was left for Ajax to find out. ''Ding, Item name:- Secret realm''s pass. Use:- As long as the host injects a sufficient amount of the essence of nature into the talisman, it will teleport the host to Olek''s secret realm. Note:- A seal is ced to prevent the host from injecting the essence of nature without knowing about the talisman. Since the host now knows about the talisman, he could inject it whenever he wants to. More information:- Protector Olek'' hopes the host to enter his secret realm to enjoy the rich essence of nature and other cultivational resources. ''Oh.'' Ajax used the system to know about the white talisman in his hand and soon, he got to understand it. ''A king realm cultivator''s secret realm will have many rich cultivation resources, right? I will take a trip after I finish my training in the Royal family''s sacred pool.'' Since the sacred pool can''t bepared to the resources of a king realm cultivator, Ajax wanted to use the sacred pool to the fullest before entering Olek''s secret realm. ording to the protector Olek''s assumptions, Ajax would take at least one month to know about the white talisman; however, it only took one second for Ajax to know about it. Nevertheless, Ajax thought of entering that secret realm after two weeks. "Everyone, that''s it for this years'' champions contest." An old man from the royal family stood up and concluded the champions contest. Soon, everyone started going back to their towns, cities and viges. Seeing the protector Olek is already a great thing for them and while leaving the royal city, they were excited because they have too many stories to say after reaching their ces. Also, when they say the events that happened today, they were bound to spice up things with their own imagination. As for the top three sects and the five great families, they remembered some names and decided to do something but today is not the right time to act. So, they also left the royal city without causing any troubles. "You all did well." Edmond and Udo were the first ones to congratte Ajad and others. Edmond was proud of his adopted children for bing powerful enough to defeat the young geniuses from the top powers. "Thank you, captain Edmond." "Thank you, Godfather." Ajax, Levi and Edmond''s adopted children thanked Edmond. Behind Edmond and Udo, Darbaudr and Courage were standing without saying anything. "Everyone, let''s go back to the mercenary guild and talk." Soon, the guild master summoned his livid griffin before everyone climbed on it except for Ajax and his team. His team consists of Darbaudr, Courage, and Justice. He wanted to go back to his territory in the inner section of the cursed wilderness and check the changes the system had undergone after the upgrade. Since they knew Ajax was strong enough to protect himself, they didn''t bother about him anymore. Even if some powerful sect leaders attack him, the master in his dreams can send some powerful items to save him. "Let''s go." Ajax and his team silently left the royal city at their full speeds and along the way, they kept an eye on their pursuers. However, as soon as they went out of the royal city, they went into a small forest before summoning Twilight. ''Don''t make any loud roars.'' On Ajax''s orders, the destructive dragon directly flew into the air at an incredible speed before flying towards the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ...¡­ Inside a huge cave, "Master, you can stay here and no one wille to disturb you." The golden wyvern king said to Ajax as he pointed at a room inside a huge cave. "Okay, you can go back to your work, Gaimont." Ajax nodded his head as he entered the room and closed it with a stone door. As for Darbaudr and others, they were looking settled in other caves because Ajax had something to do with them. However, currently, he had to take a good look at the upgraded system and other features. ''System, give me a glimpse of the upgraded version of the system.'' After sitting on the stone bed, Ajax asked the system to start exining its new features. ''Ding, The changes made after the system upgrade are. The host''s cultivation:- The host can pick one of the two cultivation systems. Features:- Three types of new quest tabs are unlocked. Spirit consciousness will be increased in the multiples of 500 for every minor realm starting from level 1 general realm. ''Woah'' Soon, the system gave a short note on everything regarding its upgrade making Ajax exim in excitement. ''System the new type of cultivation system.'' He started from the first one as he asked about the cultivation system. Ajax already knew one of the cultivation systems and it is using the missions to get energy orbs to increase his cultivation. In this cultivation, he could use the monster peach pills to increase his cultivation to level 2 elite general realm directly. However, he wanted to know about the second type of cultivation system. If it has good benefits, he would go with the second type of cultivation system. ''Ding, The second type of cultivation system is the most difficult one; however, it is the most powerful cultivation system for an individual from a normal world. ''Can you exin it a little more?'' Even though Ajax could guess the second type of cultivation system is powerful, he wanted to know exactly what he had to do. ''Ding, The second type of cultivation system is called ''World core cultivation system'' or ''Golden core cultivation system''. With each minor realm you progress in the general realm, you will get ten times more raw strengthpared to the first type of cultivation system. ''What?'' This time, Ajax was thoroughly shocked by the system''s exnation. ''10 times'' ''10 times the raw strength!'' Ajax muttered as he could not believe his eyes and re-read the notification in front of him. General, some cultivation systems provide 2-3 times more raw strengthpared to other cultivators in the same realm. In some special cases, that raw strength gained by the cultivators can even reach five times; however, 10 times the raw strength is too powerful. ''Ding, It is only for the general realm and when the host enters the elite general realm, it will be 20 times increment in the raw strengthpared to the regr cultivators. ''What? 20 times?'' Ajax was shocked once again as he imagined if he had that kind of power, his revenge would bepleted very easily. Also, his next mission in the five elemental world to conquer the second region will bepleted without much difficulty. ''Ding, By the time the host reaches the level 8 elite general realm, he could fight a king realm cultivator and if the host reaches the level 10 elite general realm, he could level the king realm cultivators by using his full power. ''Killing a king realm with the cultivation of the level 10 elite general realm?'' Ajax dreamed about it with his eyes closed. Chapter 773: Checking new features

Chapter 773: Checking new features

''Ding, However, progressing in the ''World core cultivation system'' entirely depends on the host. Ajax came out of his thoughts with the system notification and asked the system, ''I can guess it will be hard. Just say what I have to do to increase my cultivation?'' ''Ding, The host has to destroy the world and for each world destroyed by the host, his cultivation would be progressed by one minor realm. ''What the hell! Are you kidding me?'' Until now, he was dreaming about killing immortal realm cultivators with a cultivation of the elite general realm; however, he didn''t expect, he had to destroy the worlds to gain a single minor realm increment in his cultivation. ''Ding, The system is not joking with the host. The host still has the choice to pick a cultivation system of his own. ''What should I do?'' After seeing thest system notification, Ajax started thinking about the second cultivation system. ''Even though my cultivation progresses at an incredible speed if I choose the first cultivation system, I can''t kill immortal cultivators before I enter the king realm and entering the king realm is not an easy task.'' ''As for the second cultivation system, I have to destroy worlds. With my current cultivation, I can''t even conquer a smaller world on my own but if I work on increasing my cultivation a little, I can kill the peak elite general realm beings.'' Ajax startedparing the two cultivation systems once again and felt that the second cultivation system is what he needed; however, it led to some other questions. ''System, for the worlds I need to destroy¡­..'' ''Ding, The host need not worry about the world. The system will only choose the worlds that are pure evil that likes to destroy others. ''Ding, As for the host, he could use any method to conquer the world and get a world core at the center of the world before refining it into his body. Before Ajax couldplete his question, the system gave rity on Ajax''s worries. ''But still, destroying a world just for the sake of one minor realm is too much.'' Ajax felt the world core cultivation system should be named as the world-destroying cultivation system. ''Ding, Please select which type of cultivation system the host wants to cultivate. ''Let''s go with the World destroying...sorry, world core cultivation system.'' Soon, he selected the second type of cultivation system. ''Ding, Finalizing the world core cultivation system. ''Ding, Whenever the host destroys a world and absorbs the world core, a new vitality orb will be formed which signifies the cultivation of the host. As soon as he selected his future cultivation system, the system exined some more minor details. ''Oh. So those two yellowish-green colour orbs revolving around my spirit consciousness will appear after I refine the world core.'' Finally, Ajax got the general idea of his cultivation system and asked the system, ''So, will you provide the world pass?'' ''Ding, No. The host has to secure the world pass and the system will help you travel to an evil world or world that needs to be destroyed. ''Oh.'' Ajax already expected that the system would pull off some stunts like this; however, he was not worried about the ''world travelling pass'' because he already had one in his inventory. Even though he only has one world pass, he will get more passes in the future for sure. ''Also, I have collected the 100 keys in the? bronze world.'' Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the bronze-coloured keys from the inventory. ''Ding, Detected 100 bronze keys. They can be merged together. Do you want to merge? As soon as he took out a couple of keys, the system notification rang in his head. ''Do you even need to ask that? Just do it.'' Ajax already knew that by collecting 100 bronze keys, he could gain ess to the silver world. So, without thinking much, he gave permission to merge 100 bronze keys. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he gave the permission, all the bronze keys in his inventory disappeared and a single shining silver key appeared in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Silver demon world''s key. Use:- As long as demon blood falls on this key, a portal to the silver demon world will be opened. The exnation was simple and Ajax didn''t bother to ponder much about it because he didn''t have enough strength to clear the entire silver demon world. Moreover, he had many other things to do first. So, he put that thing on hold. ''Now, let''s check the various quest tabs.'' Soon, Ajax checked the three types of new ''quest tab'' features. ''Ding, The three new features are:- 1) Elemental spirit quest tab, 2) Spirit beast quest tab, 3) Second chance quest tab. ''Don''t tell me, from now onwards my elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts and changed cultivators to go through the missions to increase their cultivation?'' Looking at the three new system features, Ajax could say what they could be used for. Nevertheless, he checked to know whether what he said was right or wrong? ''Ding, Elemental spirit quest tab:- Missions specially designed for the host''s elemental spirits. Elemental spirits'' cultivation doesn''t depend on it; however, whilepleting the missions, they might awaken new skills or breakthrough . ''Ding, Simrly, the other two quest tab features are for the host''s contracted spirit beasts and the cultivators who survived the second chance feature. ''Phew'' After reading the exnations, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. If his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were required to get the energy orbs from thepleted missions, then he would be in a lot of trouble before he had so many elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. So, they have toplete a lot of high danger rating missions with a good clearance rating. So, of course, it will take a lot of time for everyone to increase their cultivation. ''By the way, all my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts have been upgraded to the general realm.'' Since there were no new missions from those quest tabs yet, he didn''t bother about it much; however, there were a lot of questions in his head like, ''What type of missions will be generated from those tabs?'' ''Will it be specific for a single being or a group of beings or all beings in the category.'' Nevertheless, he suddenly remembered another important point regarding his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. After the system upgraded to 3.0, it automatically upgrades everybeing below the general realm to the general realm. So, he was curious about the new skills of his elemental spirits and other beasts which were recently upgraded to the general realm. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Nite (Dark/ Beast type) Skills:-? Brute strength (level 5), Beast roar (level 4), Complete beast transformation? (level 3), Beast healing (level 2) and Beast summoning (Level 1). He started with his first official elemental spirit, Nite. Almost all of his skills are focused on closebat except for thetest skill which focused on summoning. Beast roar (Level 4):- With a loud roar, the elemental spirit can increase any one of its strength, speed, vitality and constitution. Chapter 774: Time elemental paradise

Chapter 774: Time elemental paradise

Ajax started checking one skill after another at his own pace without any hurry. Complete beast transformation? (level 3):- When this skill is used, the elemental spirit will turn into a huge wolf with its battle prowess multiplied by three times. Beast healing (level 2) (Passive):- No matter how severe the injuries to its body, they will be healed even without any medicinal herbs, healing pills or spirit beasts'' meat. All it required was time. Beast summoning (Level 1):- Summons two medium-sized wolf beasts with 90 percent of its original battle prowess and skills (except for ''Beast summoning skill''). ''Nite has all-round development. He had high damage skills along with a self-healing and a supportive skill ''Beast summoning.'' Ajax gave a slight nod after checking the skills of the Nite and next looked at his second official elemental spirit. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Dabrus (Dark-type) Skills:- Damage exchange (Level 5), Damage control (Level 4), Magical dark vines (Level 3), Stealth (Level 2), Necromancer (Level 1). Damage exchange (Level 5):- As long as the elemental spirit is alive, it can swap all its injuries with its enemy. Damage Healing(Level 4):- The injuries it received can be turned into a temporary energy boost to increase its battle prowess for a specific time. Magical dark vines (Level 3):- Magical ck colour vines will be summoned out of the ground that can bind the enemy and absorb their essence of nature before converting it into dark elemental essence of nature used to replenish the spirit consciousness of the elemental spirit. Stealth (Level 2):- Can cover its tracks and sneak attack on the beings with the same cultivation as that of the elemental spirit. Necromancer (Level 1):- Can summon the beings killed by the elemental spirit in the undead form. ''Good skills.'' Once again, Ajax nodded his head at the skills of his two official elemental spirits andter focused on the two of his oldest elemental spirits, ith and Spirus. ''Ding, Skill name:- Earth boost (level 1). Effect:- When the elemental spirit is on the ground, it will gain three times increment in its strength. ''Ding, Skill name:- Green pool (Level 1) Effect:- The elemental spirit can create a 100-meter radius pool with green liquid in it that helps any beings instantly recover their injuries and their essence of nature will be filled by 50 percent within ten seconds. Earth boost belongs to it whereas ''Green pool'' belongs to Spirus. Even though they were not over-powered skills, they are powerful in their own aspects. ¡­.. After checking all the new skills of the elemental spirits, Ajax remembered a special reward from one of the recentlypleted missions. ''Enter'' Without wasting any time, he directly entered his inner world to finish the work he dyed till now. ''Woah'' However, he was shocked by what he had seen in his inner world. The current inner world is much bigger than the earlier inner world. It is not 1000 kilometres and Ajax can''t even see the other end of the inner world; however, as long as he is connected with his inner world, nothing escapes his eyes. ''Let''s choose a good ce for the new elemental paradise.'' That''s right! The reason he entered the inner world was to create a new elemental paradise. ''System, I want the time-elemental paradise here.'' Aftering away from all the elemental paradise that were closely packed, Ajax selected a ce where he felt it was a good ce for the time elemental paradise. ''Ding, The time elemental paradise will be created in ten minutes. Please wait. As soon as he selected the ce and ordered the system to construct the time elemental paradise, it asked him to wait for 10 minutes. ''Until then, I will check out senior fuzzball.'' For him, 10 minutes is not long as he decided to see the progress of the golden bear king because thest time he entered the inner world, the little golden bearpleted the re-cultivation process. And he was sure that his father, the golden bear king, wouldplete the re-cultivation process by now. ''Dan, youpleted the re-cultivation process already? Good.'' Just like Ajax expected, the golden bear king sessfully finished the re-cultivation process. However,pared to the little bear king, there was one major change to the senior golden bear king and it was the head of the beast. Unlike the little bear king who had the human head, the senior golden bear had a bear head. As for the remaining body, it was the regr human body. "Master." Zan and Dan both respectfully called out Ajax when they saw him walking towards them. Zan and Dan were the new names of the little golden bear and senior golden bear king respectively. Because of the system upgrade, Zan''s cultivation increased to rank 5 and looked powerful despite his body''s still a 10-12 years old kid. ''But why is there such a difference between Zan and Dan when they used the same re-cultivation technique?'' However, Ajax didn''t understand the difference between the re-cultivated forms between Zan and Dan. One looked like a pure human whereas one had the head of a bear attached to the human body. ''Ding, When the re-cultivation technique is used by a young spirit beast, they would take a purely human form; however, they can''t gain the pure human form for the older spirit beasts. Soon, the system exined how things worked with the spirit beasts. But he was sure about one thing, having a purely human form is better than a half-human form. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother about it much longer as he checked their skills before taking a troll to check his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. ''Huh?'' Finally, his eyesnded on the ''Tree of blessing''. Currently, the ''Tree of blessing'' has four leaves. One was white in colour with a hint of purple lines in it. As for the other leaves, they were in red, ck and light green colours respectively. ''Looks like every elemental spirit understood the value of the tree of blessing...Good.'' In the past, he only had four elemental spirits that had the cultivation greater than the general realm; however, all his elemental spirits were general realm and they can refine their spirit essence to form a connection with the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Every elemental spirit, your first task is to give three drops of your spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing''. Do you understand?'' Without wasting any time, he directly gave an order to every elemental spirit to refine their spirit essence. "Yes, summoning master." Soon, he got the reply from all his elemental spirit. Even though some of the elemental spirits didn''t know why their master wanted to waste their spirit essence, they didn''t dare to disobey and nodded their heads. "Good" It''s been nearly 10 minutes and he thought the creation of the time elemental paradise will bepleted by the time he reached that ce. So, he slowly walked towards the time elemental paradise. ''Ding, The grade 1 time elemental paradise is sessfully created. As he expected the time elemental paradise is sessfullypleted and without wasting any time, he muttered, "Halo,e out." Chapter 775: Meeting Prophis again, Dimensional Shackles

Chapter 775: Meeting Prophis again, Dimensional Shackles

''Swoosh'' As soon as he called out, a colourless elemental spirit which was the size of only an inch appeared in his hands. The elemental spirit''s name is none other than Hao, which he got as a reward from one of the missions. This elemental spirit has no attribute and as long as he supplied a rich elemental paradise it will take that attribute as its own attribute. "Halo, go into the time-elemental paradise." While saying that, he ced his hand at the edge of the pool which was filled with a golden liquid. The time elemental paradise was only 10 meters in radius; however, the time inside it ran at a different pace. ''Plop'' The small elemental spirit jumped into the golden pool and disappeared without any trace. ''Ding, The elemental spirit, Halo, is selecting time as his attribute. Please wait for 12 hours before he could assimte the time attribute into his body. ''Ding, After 12 hours, he can start cultivating to increase his strength and to gain new skills. Soon, two system notifications rang in his head making him look forward to the time when he could awaken another official skill. That''s right! He is going to make Halo his official elemental spirit. So that he could awaken a time-rted skill. As for the promise he made to Prophis, he can still form an official contract with him because, from the same mission in which he got the time-elemental paradise, he got one extra chance to form an official contract with an elemental spirit. ''If I can enter the elemental spirit world, then Porphis will be my third official elemental spirit and Halo will be fourth official elemental spirit.'' With that thought in his mind, he came out of the inner world. ''There is still sometime before the first batch of battle beastse out of the formation. So, basically, there is nothing much I can do here.'' ''Currently, there are three ces where I can go now.'' ''One, I can enter the elemental spirit world. Two, I can also enter the five elemental world and the third ce is to enter one of the smaller worlds to destroy it.'' Ajax thought about the most important ces he could go now and started nning from which ce he should begin with. "I will start with the elemental spirit world and form an official contract with Prophis and some unofficial contacts with the elemental spirits." "Next, I will enter the five elemental world to finish the mission of conquering the next region before bringing all my contracted spirit beasts out of it. Afterwards, I will start the mission of destroying worlds." Soon, he nned his journey for the next few days and without wasting any time, he went to sleep. For regr cultivators, after reaching a new major realm, they need to wait for some time before entering the elemental spirit world; however, Ajax doesn''t need to wait as he could directly enter as soon as he entered a new major realm. For that, all he needed to do was to sleep and through the sleep, he would enter the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form. ..... In the elemental spirit world. Without any surprise, he directly entered the elemental spirit world as soon as he slept on the stone bed. ''Looks like I am used to travelling through the small light tunnel.'' Unlike his previous times, Ajax didn''t feel any difort after entering the elemental spirit world and felt much better. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was checking his surroundings, a ck-coloured symbol shone on his right hand. ''Huh? What is this? Looks like it is asking him to move in that direction.'' Even though he was surprised by the shining mark on his hand in the beginning, Ajax could guess it was rted to space elemental spirit, Prophis. So, without thinking much, he rushed in that direction to meet the elemental spirit. At another ce, a cloaked elemental spirit woke up from its sleep and teleported himself in a specific direction. After 30 minutes, Ajax and Prohis finally met each other. "Are you ready for the contract?" "I am waiting for you to ask that for a while now." They only said one line to each other before Ajax walked towards the elemental spirit and ced his spirit mark. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully obtaining the third official elemental spirit. ''Ding, The host awakened a new official skill ''Dimensional shackles''. Unlike others, Ajax could form the spirit contract within a few minutes. So, as soon as hepleted the official contract, he awakened a new official skill rted to space. ''Looks like a cool skill.'' Ajax was excited when he saw the skill name and focused on it to see the full information on it. ''Ding, Skill name:- Dimensional shackles Effect:- When used, it will restrain an enemy who is stronger than the host by one whole major realm. More information:- Four cuffs wille out of thin air and catch the four arms of an enemy. The other end of those chains is connected to space itself. ''I can restrain higher realm beings¡­.good.'' When he saw the full information on the skill, Ajax satisfyingly nodded his head. As long as he could restrain the higher realm beings, then he would have no problem in killing them with the help of his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. "Prophis greets the summoning master." As for the elemental spirit, he saluted Ajax with a respectful look on his face. "No need for all these formalities." Ajax shook his head and asked Prophis, "So, what did you do with the matter I askedst time?" Finally, Ajax came to another main thing. "Hehe¡­.just follow me summoning master. You will be surprised for sure." When he heard Ajax''s words, Prophis revealed a smile as he held Ajax''s hand before teleporting from that ce. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Prophis continuously used his only skill ''Teleport'' for nearly 10 times before they reached an auxiliary elemental spirit territory. The territory was blood-red and there were many dried up trees that could be seen while they walked forward without teleporting. There was a hint of an iron smell in the air and without a doubt, Ajax could guess this territory belonged to a blood elemental spirit. ''Prophis, did you convince a blood elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract with me?'' Ajax asked with an excited look on his face. Previously, before leaving the elemental spirit world, Ajax asked the space elemental spirit to gather some elemental spirits to form unofficial contracts with them. So, when Prophis brought him to a blood type territory, Ajax thought he convinced an auxiliary elemental spirit. ''With this blood auxiliary elemental spirit, I will have five types of auxiliary elemental spirits.'' Before Prophis could give a reply, he thought of his auxiliary elemental spirits. Cerauno, lightning elemental spirit. Bane, Poision elemental spirit. Prophis, Space elemental spirit. Halo, Time elemental spirit. (Contract is yet to form) No name, Blood elemental spirit. (Yet to meet the elemental spirit). "Summoning master, you got me wrong. I didn''t convince the blood elemental spirit to form a contract with you." Prophis replied with the same respectful look on his face which made Ajax frown a little. ***** Sessfully reached level 1 in win-win events.

Chapter 776: Tempting the blood elemental spirit

''Then?'' Ajax looked at Prophis and asked with a confused look on his face. "This blood elemental spirit has five friends and each one of them was an auxiliary elemental spirit. Among these six auxiliary elemental spirits, the blood elemental spirit is powerful. So, as long as the summoning master convinces the blood elemental spirit, he would get another five auxiliary elemental spirits as a bonus." Prophis exined the reason why he brought Ajax to this auxiliary territory. ''What? Five more auxiliary elemental spirits?'' Ajax was excited after hearing Prophis'' words and swore to convince the blood elemental spirit to form an unofficial contract with him. "Prophis, long time no see...Haha" Suddenly, a burst of loudughter came from the distance as a blood mist appeared in front of them. Soon, the blood mist transformed into a blood red-coloured elemental spirit. "Haha...yeah. Long time no see, Blood." Prophis alsoughed out loud as he replied to the blood elemental spirit in front of him. "Huh? Looks like you formed an official contract with a human. Nice." Only after greeting Prophis, the blood elemental spirit''s eyesnded on Ajax and nodded his head at Prophis. The blood elemental spirit named himself Blood because of a specific reason and it was in this elemental spirit world, he was the only blood elemental spirit. So, there was no one to oppose his name. "Yes, Blood. He came here to convince you to form an unofficial contract with you and your friends." Prophis didn''t hide anything as he directly said the reason for his visit to the blood territory while pointing his finger at Ajax. ''Haha'' ''Haha'' . . As soon as he heard those words, five different types ofughter came from the distance. Soon, five elemental spirits in various colours appeared beside the blood elemental spirit. "Blood, isn''t it very funny?" A white coloured elemental spirit asked the blood elemental spirit while trying his best to control hisughter. "Prophis, you also know that I will only form an official contract, right?" Blood elemental spirit didn''tugh because it would make Ajax and Prophis a little embarrassed. So, he asked Prophis with a nonchnt expression on his face. "I know." Prophecy nodded his head; however, there was no embarrassment on his face as he continued speaking, "I have a specific reason toe here." "And what is it?" The blood elemental spirit raised his brows as he asked the space elemental spirit. Beside him, the five auxiliary elemental spirits also raised their brows. Haze, the mist elemental spirit which was surrounded by a thinyer of white mist. Ice elemental spirit, he was in a crystalline form as he looked at Ajax to find out more about him. As for his name, it is Neig. Another elemental spirit waspletely covered in flowers and there was a huge flower on her head. She is a flower elemental spirit named Floris. Septon, a metal elemental spirit and Lumin, a light elemental spirit also looked at Ajax to find out how he convinced Prophis into the contract. However, remembering that it was an official contract, no auxiliary elemental spirit bothered Ajax or Prophis. "Are you wondering where Cerauno went, right? He epted this human as his master and formed an unofficial elemental spirit." Prophis continued to maintain the same nonchnt look on his face as he continued, "I heard that he had already be a general realm elemental spirit with some powerful skills." When Prophis mentioned Cerauno''s name, there was a huge reaction from the blood elemental spirit and by the time Prophis finished his words, Blood looked at Ajax in a new light. "Human, are you telling the truth? Did Cerauno already be the general realm elemental spirit?" Blood looked at Ajax and directly asked him two questions. "Yes." Ajax just nodded his head and turned towards Prophis before saying, "Prophis, from the looks of it, they were not interested in forming any contract with me. Why don''t we directly go to the elemental spirits whom you gathered in your territory?" After finishing his words, Ajax didn''t wait for Prophis'' reply as he turned back to leave the blood territory. When he saw the expression on the blood elemental spirit, Ajax felt there was some kind of rivalry between Ceranuo and Blood and as long as he used the right words, he could form contact with the blood elemental spirit and other auxiliary elemental spirits. So, he intentionally turned back as though he would not ask about the contract to the blood elemental spirit. ''Act with me.'' At the same time, Ajax quickly transmitted his voice to Prophis asking him to act along with him. "Sorry for bringing my master here, Blood. We will leave now." In the next second, Prophis apologetically replied to the blood elemental spirit before walking behind Ajax. "Prophis, did I mention to you that I have a ''Tree of blessing'' with me and Ceranuo had already formed a connection with it." After taking a couple of steps, Ajax expected some type of reply from the blood elemental spirit; however, there was no reply making Ajax a little anxious. Nevertheless, he calmed himself and used the final card that was none other than the ''Tree of blessing''. Even though almost all the elemental spirits in this elemental spirit world had never seen the ''Tree of blessing'', they have always heard stories about the tree and as long as an elemental spirit forms a connection with it, that elemental spirit would continue to progress at an incredible speed in their strength. ''What?'' Even Prophis himself was shocked by Ajax''s words and felt that his earlier decision of following Ajax was right. As long as he had the ''Tree of blessing'', even without any strict training, he would be a peak elite general realm elemental spirit and entering the king realm elemental spirit is also possible. So, Prophis didn''t bother about the blood elemental spirits and his five other friends and silently followed behind Ajax. Prophis believed Ajax''s words without any hesitation because there was no reason for Ajax to lie with him. Even if he wanted to fool the blood elemental spirit, Prophis knew that Ajax was not the kind of summoner who cheats the elemental spirits into forming contracts with him. "Human, wait for a second." While Ajax was cursing the blood elemental spirit for not reacting even when was about to leave the blood elemental spirit''s territory, he heard the blood elemental spirit''s voice which made him heave a sigh of relief. "Mr Blood. I only have limited time to form contracts with the elemental spirits. So, if you are not going to form a contract with me, pleasee to the point without wasting my time." What Ajax said was right because every time a summoner visits the elemental spirit world, he could only stay for 12 hours and sometimes, it is only 10 hours. So, Ajax urged the blood elemental spirit to say what he wanted to say. So that he could search for other elemental spirits to form a contract. "I only have a couple of questions. As long as you answer them honestly, you will get not one contract but a total of six contracts." The blood elemental spirit took a deep breath as he replied to Ajax. Chapter 777: Purple Stone World

Chapter 777: Purple Stone World

For some reason, the blood elemental spirit was tempted to form a contract with Ajax even before he mentioned about the ''Tree of blessing''. So, after hearing about the ''Tree of blessing'', the blood elemental spirit wanted to ask some questions before forming a contract with Ajax. "Ask." Ajax simply nodded his head without showing any excitement on his face. "Do you really have the ''Tree of blessing''? Also, what is the current strength of Cerauno?" Blood looked at his friends for a moment before asking Ajax a couple of questions. "Yes, I have it and Cerauno has already reached level 10 general realm elemental spirit." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face because he felt that the blood elemental spirit is going to form a contract with him for sure. "Sigh...If I form a contract with you, he willugh at me for my low-cultivation level. So, I will reject your offer." However, hearing thetest words of the blood elemental spirit, Ajax''s smil froze as he became anxious. "What? What are you saying?" Ajax was unable to suppress his anxiousness and hurriedly asked the blood elemental spirit. "I can''t form a contract with you because I have to meet Cerauno with a low cultivation." The blood elemental spirit wanted to form the contract with Ajax; however, he can''t face Ceranuo with a low-cultivation level. "Phew" However, after hearing the blood elemental spirit''s words, Ajax heved a sigh of relief because he had a solution for the blood elemental spirit''s worry. "What if I can instantly bring you to the general realm and you can form a connection with the ''Tree of blessing''. Even though you will be less powerful than Cerauno, as long as you work hard, you can eventually catch upto him." After heaving a sigh of relief, Ajax calmly exined a few things like elemental spirit stones to the blood elemental spirit that removed the worries of the blood elemental spirit. When he was killing the bronze demons in the bronze demon world, he got many elemental spirit stones of various grades. So, he didn''t worry about increasing the strength of any new elemental spirit. "So, what do you say?" After saying everything, Ajax asked with an expectantly look on his face. "Blood greets the summoning master." Before Ajax could ce his spirit mark on the blood elemental spirit, he bowed to Ajax with a respectful look on his face. In his eyes, Ajax could see that he was verypetlitive in nature and the only reason he was forming the contract was because of Cerauno. He wanted to prove that he was better than Cerauno. Moreover, he was already tired of staying in the elemental spirit world for hundreds of years and that is the reason. "Haze greets the summoning master." "Neig greets the summoning master." "Floris greets the summoning master." "Septon greets the summoning master." "Lumin greets the summoning master." Soon, the remaining five auxiliary elemental spirits aslo bowed to Ajax indicating that they were ready to form an unofficial contract with them. ''Excellent. I got five auxiliary elemental spirits just like that.'' Ajax was excited looking at the six auxailiary elemental spirits in front of him and silently transmitted his voice to the space elemental spirit beside him and said, ''It''s all thanks to you, Prophis.'' That''s right! The credit to the addition of six new auxiliary elemental spirits to his army is entirely given to Prophis. Not only did he bring Ajax to this territory but he also used Cerauno''s name and almost convinced the blood elemental spirit into forming an unoffical contract with him. Later, Ajax used a few things to convince the blood elemental spirit and sessfully got five more auxiliary elemental spirits along with the blood elemental spirit. ''It''s nothing, summoning master.'' Prophis shook his head and said it was nothing. For an elemental spirit, it wants his /her master to be strong and powerful. A summoner is called strong and powerful when he has many elemental spirits. So, Prophis had to convince as many elemental spirits as possible to form a contract with his master. Soon, Ajax started forming contracts with one elemental spirit after another. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Blood (Blood-type) Cultivation:- Level 1 elemental soldier. Skill:- Blood refining. Special skill:- Blood king. ''Huh?'' As soon as he formed the contract with the blood elemental spirit, Ajax saw the information that blood elemental spirit and surprised to see a special skill. Previously, he saw the special skill for Volcanis and that was awakened when he was in themander realm. It was King of fire; however, the blood elemental spirit has ''Blood king''. ''Ding, Special kill:- Blood king. Effects:- 1) 100 percent chance to make other blood elemental spirits as his followers. 2) 50 percent chance to make any elemental spirits as his followers. Note:- The effects will work only when the blood elemental spirit can defeat the other elemental spirits in a fair fight. ''Oh. Nice.'' After seeing the information on the skill, Ajax finally understood why there were five auxiliary elemental spirits willing to follow the blood elemental spirit even when he formed a contract with a summoner. ''But the sad thing is there were no other blood elemental spirits in this elemental spirit world.'' Ajax shook his head; however, he knew that it is not the only elemental spirit in this universe. ''ording to system 3.0 there is an elemental spirit world for each greater world and normal world. I wonder how powerful the elemental spirits will be in those elemental spirit worlds.'' Ajax wondered about the elemental spirit worlds for the greater worlds and clenched his fists and thought, ''One day, I will visit the greater world and the elemental spirit world connected to it.'' After the system upgraded, his permissions were upgraded and he got to know about many things which he didn''t have any idea about. The most shocking thing was the system itself sent all the knowledge about his current world and some more things about the greater worlds. ''The current world I am living in is called Purple stone world and it has three provinces.'' ''Zrochester province, which I am currently living in, Ylercester province, which Levi came from and Xacester province where the starting cultivation of their residents was the general realm. Also, in that province, 9 out of 10 are summoners. From this alone, I can say how pure the essence of nature is in that province.'' Soon, Ajax muttered about his world and the provinces in that world. ''Each province has a barrier preventing you from entering the other province.'' ''To enter the Ylercester province, the cultivators of the Zrochester province had to break through to the King realm and only then the barrier would be opened for them.'' ''Also, once some enter the Ylercester province by this process, they can''te back, otherwise, they seal their cultivation like Darbaudr.'' ''But, I still don''t understand how my older brother can enter the Zrochester province and no one bothered about it. Is it rted to protector Olek?'' Protector Olek has the permission to kill if someone from the other provinces enters this world; however, despite knowing about Levi, he didn''t kill Levi which made Ajax a little puzzled. ''Anyway, I will focus on contracts now.'' Soon, he started forming contracts one after another with an excited look on his face. Chapter 778: Two more elemental spirits

Energy healing:- Using this skill, the elemental spirit can store various energies from suns, moons and stars. Later, the stored energy can be used to heal itself or its allies. While forming the contract with the auxiliary elemental spirits, Ajax checked their information and every skill made him reveal a slight smile. ''After today, I will be having a wide range of attacks.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he finished forming all the contracts with the elemental spirits. "Prophis, shall we go to your territory now?" Since Prophis said that he convinced a couple of elemental spirits in forming the unofficial contract with Ajax, he asked Prophis to go to his territory. "Yes, summoning master." Prophis nodded his head and suddenly he thought of something. "Blood, why don''t you guys split and search for some elemental spirits that are willing to form an unofficial contract with the master?" Prophis wanted Ajax to have as many elemental spirits as possible. So, he asked Blood and other elemental spirits to search for some elemental spirits. "Yeah. As long as the elemental spirit agrees to form a contract with me, bring him/her to me. If they have any terms like defeating them or proving myself to them, then don''t bother with them and leave them there." Ajax didn''t want to prove himself to others because he already got more than 10 elemental spirits and unless it is some rare elemental spirit or for his another official elemental spirit, he didn''t want to waste any more time. ''Yes, summoning master.'' As soon as they received Ajax''s orders, all six auxiliary elemental spirits disappeared from their ces and went to search for other elemental spirits. "Summoning master, let''s go." Prophis held Ajax''s right arm and used the ''teleport'' skill a few more times before reaching his territory. ''There are some new system notifications.'' Along the way, Ajax received some system notifications and the moment Prophis released him from his grip, Ajax checked them. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with more than 10 elemental spirits. ''Ding, Opening a new feature in the system. Please check it after leaving the elemental spirit world. ''What? I can gain new features like this too?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before smiling. ''I wonder what this new feature is.'' Ajax was curious about the new feature and could not wait to leave the elemental spirit world; however, he wanted to form the contract with a few more elemental spirits before leaving the world. "Novis and Tempos, meet my summoning master." As soon as they entered, Prophis walked forward for a couple of steps and shouted in a specific distance. Soon, two elemental spirits rushed towards them with excited faces. Because they were waiting for Ajax to enter the elemental spirit world. So that they could form the contract with him and leave this world. Prophis had already convinced them and they were also eager to leave the elemental spirit world. So, without any unexpected events, Ajax formed a contract with two more elemental spirits. ''A water elemental spirits and Wind elemental spirit¡­.Good.'' Even though they were regr elemental spirits, Ajax was satisfied with them because both elemental spirits belong to water and wind types that he didn''t have in his arsenal. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Novis (Water-type) Skills:- Water tornado (Level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Tempos (Wind-type) Skills:- Windstorm (Level 1) With a smile on his face, Ajax formed unofficial contracts with both the elemental spirits and at the same time, he checked their information. "Novis greets the summoning master." "Temps greets the summoning master." As soon as Ajax ced his spirit mark on their spirit consciousness, both of them bowed to Ajax as they greeted him. "Let''s try our best to be as powerful as possible." "Prophis, this time, you really help me a lot." After that, Ajax looked at Prophis and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Because he got eight extra elemental spirits thanks to Prophis''s help and among them, six of them were auxiliary elemental spirits. Excluding Halo, Ajax currently had 17 elemental spirits and after Haloes out of the elemental paradise, he could form an official contract with it. So, he had a total of 18 elemental spirits in his arsenal. ''As long as I train these 18 elemental spirits to reach peak elite general realm, not to mention my contract spirit beasts, no one is a match for me in the Zrochester province.'' Ajax waited for that where he could release all his contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits to destroy the assassin sect without taking any help from vagrant cultivators or Edmond. For forming the contract, Ajax didn''t go search for any more elemental spirits because he knew that Prophis must have already searched for the nearby territories. So, he didn''t want to search for the elemental spirits. Moreover, he was hoping Blood and others would find at least one elemental spirit and he felt it is possible with Blood''s blood king skill. ''Before theye back, I will check my elemental spirit stones stock.'' Soon, he opened his inventory to see the number of elemental spirit stones he had and what level spirit stones he had. Even though he can''t use any items in the elemental spirit world, he could check them without any problems. ''Ding, Elemental spirit stones. Elite solder realm x 20 Commander realm x 18 Elitemander realm x 14 General realm x 10. ''Oh. I didn''t expect I would have these many elemental spirit stones.'' Even though he knew he gained some elemental spirit stones, he didn''t expect it because there were many targets he reached in killing the bronze demons. For every target hepleted, he would get tons of rewards and he didn''t have time to check at the time. ''Anyway, with these many elemental spirit stones, I can directly bring 10 elemental spirits to the general realm.'' After seeing the stock of the elemental spirit stones in the inventory, Ajax excitedly thought in his head and waited for Blood and other elemental spirits toe. "Summoning master, I am back." Soon, one of the six auxiliary elemental spirits came back. Chapter 779: Elemental spirit store

Chapter 779: Elemental spirit store

After a couple of hours, the blood elemental spirit returned with a water elemental spirit who said that the elemental spirit is interested in forming a contract with Ajax. ''Let''s form it.'' As for Ajax, how could he not form a contract with him? He directly formed a contract with his second water elemental spirit. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- ris (Water-type). Skill:- Water healing (level 1) ''With ris, now I have three healing-type elemental spirits...Good.'' After seeing the skill of his new elemental spirit, Ajax muttered to himself with a slight smile on his face. Spirus, Lumin and ris. These three elemental spirits have healing skills. So, they could be considered healers of his army. ''It is all thanks to Blood''s ''Blood king'' skill''s effect.'' Ajax knew how the blood elemental spirit was able to convince ris within a short amount of it. Soon, they started talking about some things regarding the elemental spirit world and time continued to pass. In a sh, Ajax''s time to leave the elemental spirit world is about toe to an end. So, he transmitted his voice to the elemental spirits which went to search for other elemental spirits. Soon, the five auxiliary elemental spirits returned. ''Woah'' To Ajax''s surprise, there were two new elemental spirits which were brought by Lumin and Septon. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Ignis Skills:- Fire shield (level 1) ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Qurris (Earth-type) Skills:- Ground split. Without wasting any time, he formed a contract with the two new elemental spirits and saw their details. ''In this trip, I formed a contract with 12 elemental spirits¡­.freaking 12 elemental spirits in a single trip.'' Ajax counted the total number of elemental spirits he formed contracts in this trip and he was shocked. For a summoner, getting one official elemental spirit is already good and if he was able to form unofficial contracts with one or two extra elemental spirits, they would be considered as a genius summoner. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with more than 20 elemental spirits. ''Ding, A bonus is added to the previously unlocked feature. Please check it after you leave the elemental spirit. While he was lost in his thoughts, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that made him unconsciously smile from ear to ear. ''I will wait until I exit the elemental spirit world.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to check them as he knew that he would leave the elemental spirit world in a few minutes. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax''s time to stay in the elemental spirit world was over and he disappeared along with his new elemental spirits. ''This trip is very rewarding.'' The moment he came out of the elemental spirit world, Ajax muttered to himself with a slight smile on his face. ''I wonder how Darbaudr''s luck with the elemental spirit.'' Next, he thought of his first follower because Ajax gave him a summon crystal that can allow any non-summoner to form an unofficial contract with an elemental spirit. Before entering this small cave, he gave Darbuadr and asked him to form a contract with an elemental spirit. Since Darbaudr had an elemental affinity with the space element, he would be teleported to the space elemental spirit''s territory. So, Ajax was hoping Darbauadr would get a spatial elemental spirit. ''Anyway, I will check the new feature.'' Without wasting any time, he checked the user interface for the new system feature. ''Ding, The new system feature ''Elemental spirit store'' is now avable to the host. ''Elemal spirit store?'' Ajax focused on it and theplete information about it appeared in front of him in the form of system notifications. ''Ding, An elemental spirit store is a shop where the host can buy items rted to the elemental spirits. ''Really?'' Ajax was excited after seeing the system notification and hurriedly opened the feature. ''Ding, Items in the store:- Elemental spirit stones (From soldier realm to general realm). Elemental paradises ( All types of elemental paradises.) Elemental spirit skill crystals (Random skills) Elemental spirit weapons (All weapons) As soon as he opened the ''Elemental spirit store'', a holographic screen appeared in front of him with four options. ''So, I can buy anything from these four sections. Excellent.'' Except for the first section, Ajax is in need of the remaining three sections. So, without any hesitation, he selected the second option ''Elemental paradises''. [Regr grade 1 elemental paradises like Fire, water, wind, earth:- 100 spirit points] [Auxiliary grade 1 elemental paradises like Lightning, poison, blood, etc:- 200 spirit points] As soon as he selected the second sections, there were two different prices for the elemental paradises. One is regr and another one is auxiliary. ''Wait for a second¡­.to buy the items from the elemental spirit store, I need spirit points?'' Ajax frowned a little when he saw the prices for the grade 1 elemental paradises and thought about the spirit points. Earlier, when he went to the five elemental world, Ajax gained a spirit point from the system for killing a demi-king realm cultivator andter on, he gained another spirit point for killing the avatar of a demonic king from a greater world. He got another spirit point from one of the mission rewards. So, in total, he had only three spirit points. ''But why is there 103 on the corner of the holographic screen?''. Ajax was confused a little and focused on the number. Even though he didn''t know much about the store, he was sure that 103 on the corner of the screen is the total number of spirit points in his ount. Soon, he got the information on how he got extra 100 spirit points. ''Ding, The system rewarded the host with 100 spirit points for sessfully forming contracts with 20 elemental spirits. ''So, it is like this.'' After understanding the reason, Ajax nodded his head and browsed for the elemental spirits. Just like the system mentioned, in the elemental paradise section, there were various elemental paradises. However, each one of them cost 100 spirit points and at the same time, all the elemental paradises belong to the lowest grade. So, Ajax felt he will wait and see for other items from the other sections before buying a suitable elemental paradise for his elemental spirits. Because he got many elemental spirits in his recent trip to the elemental spirit world, he wanted to get at least one elemental paradise which he didn''t have in his inner world. So, it will help the elemental spirits to progress in their cultivation. ''Let''s see the elemental spirit stones section.'' Next, Ajax focused on another section of the [Elite soldier realm stone:- 5 spirit points] [Commander realm stone:- 10 spirit points] [Elitemander realm stone:- 50 spirit points] [General realm stone:- 100 spirit points] [Elite general realm stone:- Host need to break through to the elite general realm to buy this stone] As soon as he opened it, he saw the prices for various elemental spirit stones, which was very expensivepared to the stones he used to get before. ''I will not buy these elemental spirit stones even if I have the spirit points.'' Ajax decided not to buy these stones in the store and focused on the next section in the elemental spirit stone. Chapter 780: Lightning Fruit, Thunder Law

Chapter 780: Lightning Fruit, Thunder Law

Other than elemental paradise and elemental spirit stones, there are two more options in the elemental spirit store. ''Elemental skill crystals.'' Soon, Ajax selected the third option. [Skill crystal for regr elements:- 1000 spirit points] [Skill crystal for auxiliary elements:- 2000 spirit points] ''Looks like this is the costliest section so far. Anyway, I will so for the next section'' Without a doubt, it is asking him the highest spirit points and Ajax knows that he can''t afford the items for now. So, without thinking much, he went to thest section in the elemental spirit store which is the weapons section. [Elemental earth grade weapons:- 10 spirit points] [Elemental Heaven grade weapons:- 100 spirit points] ''As I expected, with my current spirit points, I can only buy a weapon or an elemental paradise.'' After seeing the weapons'' prices, Ajax shook his head with a bitter look on his face. Also, thinking about how he got the three spirit points, Ajax felt there was almost no hope for him to buy some good things from the elemental spirit. ''Unless I kill demi-king or king realm cultivators, I can''t gain the spirit points. Maybe I should increase my cultivation as soon as possible and kill some king realm cultivators.'' Ajax felt if he wanted to get some spirit points, he had to kill the king realm cultivators or demi-king realm cultivators. To achieve that, he had to destroy some world. Once again, to do that, he needs strength, So, everythinges down to strength. ''As long as I find a way to kill a king''s realm cultivator, I can enter any evil, smaller world and destroy it.'' Since he has many elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, he had to form a good attack strategy that is capable of killing a king realm cultivator with his army. ''I can break the remaining seals from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness and bring him with me. Also, I can even bring Gaimont. With his peak rank 6 strength, he will be very helpful.'' Ajax started nning on how he can utilize his army to destroy the worlds. ''However, before I can go on the world-destroying spree, I have to enter the five elemental world to conquer the western foxnds.'' With his current strength and army, Ajax felt he couldplete the mission without much difficulty. ''Also, I have a special lottery chance from the bonus missions and a couple of normal lottery chances in the roulette feature. I will use them when I am in need of any items.'' From the roulette feature, Ajax noticed that the chance of an item being needed in a particr situation is high. So, he wanted to use them when he really needed some good item. ''Anyway, it''s time to level up my new elemental spirits.'' Without wasting any time, he entered his inner world to meet his new elemental spirits. Except for Blood, all the elemental spirits mingled with others and introduced themselves with each other. "Summoning master, can you give me some elemental spirit stones." Since Ajax had promised the blood elemental spirit to give the elemental spirit stones and help him reach the general realm in the shortest possible time, the moment he saw Ajax appear in the inner world, Blood asked him for the elemental spirit stones. "Everyone gather around and take these elemental spirit stones." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax started distributing the elemental spirit stones to the new elemental spirits. However, he only gave the general realm elemental spirit stones to nine elemental spirits and didn''t give them to three elemental spirits namely, Ignis, ris and Novis respectively. Because he only had 10 general realm elemental spirit stones and there were 12 new elemental spirits. Moreover, he wanted to save one general realm stone for Halo because Halo is different from others. Nevertheless, Ignis, ris and Novis can increase their cultivation in the fire-water dual elemental paradise. ''I will save the spirit points and buy a blood elemental paradise.'' While everyone was using the elemental spirit stones, Ajax thought about the elemental paradise and decided to wait until he had enough spirit points to buy the blood elemental paradise. Actually, the thing is, finding a regr elemental paradise is possible and there were rumours that there was a grade 2 water elemental paradise in the royal family. However, finding the elemental paradise for the auxiliary elemental spirits is almost impossible. ''Ding, One of the host''s elemental spirits haspletely established a link with the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, The ''Tree of blessing'' bore fruit for that elemental spirit. It can only be plucked and eaten by that elemental spirit. While Ajax was looking at the glowing elemental spirits in front of him, he received two system notifications in his head. ''What?'' As soon as he got the system notifications, he didn''t bother with the levelling up of elemental spirits and hurriedly moved towards the ce where he nted the ''Tree of blessing''. The ''Tree of blessing'' had grown to a height of three meters and there were various coloured leaves. Beside a white leaf with purple marks on it, there was a small fruit which had a mixed colour of white and purple. ''So, it is Cerauno whopletely formed a link with the ''Tree of blessing''.'' Ajax walked towards the small tree and focused on the fruit without touching it. ''Ding, Fruit name:- Lightning fruit. Effect:- Help a peak general realm lightning elemental spirit to breakthrough into the elite general realm. Note:- It is only effective on Cerauno. ''Woah. It''s such a nice fruit.'' After seeing the effect of the small fruits, Ajax became excited because it was what Cerauno needed right now. ''As expected, the ''Tree of blessing'' will give what the elemental spirit wanted.'' He thought about the myth about the ''Tree of blessing'' and could not help but wait for the day where it would give legend grade or even mythical grade items to his elemental spirits. "Cerauno, this fruit is for you. You will break through to the elite general realm after eating it." Looking at Cerauno, who was waiting for Ajax''s order to pick the fruit, Ajax ordered him to eat it. ''Kacha'' Soon, Cerauno finished eating it within two bites before his body started glowing with white light. At the same time, Cerauno''s power started increasing at an incredible rate. Lightning and thunder appeared in the inner world and made all the other elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts look at Cerauno with a curious look on their face. As for Blood, he didn''t know what to do with Cerauno''s rapid progress and clenched his fists before using the elemental spirit stone to increase his cultivation. The lightning and thunder roared in the inner world for a couple of minutes before disappearing into nothingness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit, Cerauno, for learning the ''Thunderw''. With his, the elemental spirit is one step closer to the king realm. ''What?'' After the lightning and thunder disappeared, the aura emitted by the lightning elemental spirit also stabilized. At the same time, Ajax received a system notification that made him drop his jaws because of what Ceranuo learned after eating the lightning fruit. Chapter 781: Lightning realm, Blood slave

Chapter 781: Lightning realm, Blood ve

Not only did he enter the elite general realm but he also learned the ''Thunderw''. Learningws is one of the three main steps to enter the king realm. To enter the king realm, be it a human or an elemental spirit or a spirit beast, learningws rted to their element is the hardest thing. Many cultivators fulfilled the first condition to reach the king which was reaching the peak elite general realm. However, the second condition and third conditions are rted. Without the second condition which was to learn aw rting to their affinity element, they can''t condense a soul which was the third condition to enter the king realm. Even though some cultivators in the Zrochester province were lucky to learn aw after many years of reaching the peak elite general realm and before they could learn to condense the soul, they would either die due to old age or their potential to enter the king realm will be over. As for the other two provinces, the cultivators will face the same problem; however, thews in those two provinces were much clearer than in Zrochester province and along with the rich essence of nature, their chances of entering the king reach realm will be multiple times higher than the cultivator from the Zrochester province. "Congrattions Cerauno. Your path to the elemental king realm is almost clear now." Aftering out of his thoughts, Ajax congratted the lightning elemental spirit. "It''s all thanks to the summoning master." With a respectful look on his face, he gaveplete credit to Ajax. Without Ajax, he would have not entered the five elemental world where his cultivation rapidly progressed after absorbing the lightning essence from the lightning tribtion. Later, Ajax nted the ''Tree of blessing'' in the inner world and after giving three drops of his essence, Cerauno was able to connect with the ''Tree of blessing'' and received a lightning fruit. With that fruit, he entered the elite general realm and learned the ''Thunderw'' which was a most important thing for anyone who wanted to be stronger. "As your master, providing resources is my duty. As for you, utilizing them properly and helping me is your duty." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax patted Cerauno''s back. As for the other elemental spirits, they were envious of Cerauno because with the help of ''Thunderw'', his path to reach the king realm is 70 percent clear and as long as he reaches the peak elite general realm, condensing a soul was not much difficult for him. Nevertheless, they knew that as long as they followed Ajax, he would help them and will not abandon them. With that thought in their minds, all the new elemental spirits continued to use the elemental spirit stone to increase their cultivation. As for the old elemental spirits, they closed their eyes and absorbed the pure essence of nature from their elemental paradise. ''Thunderw.'' As for Ajax, he opened the information of Ceranuo and checked ''thunderw''. ''Ding, Elementalw:- Thunder (Level 1) Effects:- 1) Can increase all lightning and thunder attacks by 10 percent. 2) As long as there is lightning, the elemental spirit is unkible by any being below the king realm and the elemental spirit can fight endlessly until the lightning and thunder disappear. Note:- To condense a lightning soul, a level 10 elementalw is required. ''Holy heavens...as expected of elementalws.'' Even though the first effect is not too powerful, the second effect is too powerful; however, meeting those conditions is a little difficult. ''If I enter any lightning or thunder type smaller worlds, Cerauno will take care of the leaders of those worlds.'' Ajax silently thought to himself before checking Ceranuo''stest skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Lightning realm. Effect:- It can bring the opponents into a strange space filled with lightning and thunder where Cerauno will be the king. Note:- For high-level opponents, they need to be careless or distracted by something else. Only then, they can be brought into the lightning realm. ''Another powerful skill. Lightning is a powerful element to begin with and with Ceranuo''s skills, he can easily take care of any being under king realm.'' Ajax was excited to test the battle prowess of Ceranuo; however, he can''t do it now; otherwise, the king of the spirit beast kings will be angry. ''Swoosh'' While he was in his thoughts, Ajax''s new elemental spirits shone with bright light and reached the elemental spirit general realm except for the three elemental spirits. He checked every elemental spirit''s new skills and remembered them because only when he knew what skills his elemental spirits have, he could use them at the right time. Without a doubt, the blood elemental spirit has awakened some good skills. So, he checked his skills thoroughly. As for the other elemental spirits'' skills, they were also powerful; however, after seeing many powerful skills, he didn''t feel too excited. ''Ding, Skill name:- Blood clones (level 4) Effect:- With a drop of spirit essence of the elemental spirits, it can create four clones that have the same strength as the original elemental spirit. Note:- They can''t use the main elemental spirit''s skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Life swap (Level 3) Effect:- The elemental spirit can swap its life with any of the three blood clones among the four blood clones which are previously marked. Note:- Even if the main elemental spirit was killed by an enemy, it can continue to live by sacrificing one of its three blood clones. ''Ding, Skill name:- Blood control (Level 2) Effect:- The elemental spirit can control the blood of the enemies and st them like watermelons. ''Ding, Skill name:- Blood ve (Level 1) Effect:- The elemental spirit can form a contract with other beings and make them into blood ves. Note:- 1) At level 1, only one contract can be formed. 2) After the contract is formed, the beings can still retain their memories but they can''t use any of their skills. They will awaken new skills rted to blood-element. "Blood, you have got some cool skills. Once we enter the five elemental spirit, I will not stop you from using any of your skills." After checking the blood elemental spirit'' skills, Ajax said to him with a slight smile on his face. "All the elemental spirits you have reached the general realm, just start condensing your spirit essence and form a connection with the ''Tree of blessing''." Looking at the elemental spirits in front of him, Ajax ordered them about condensing the essence of nature. "Ues, summoning master." Everyone excitedly nodded their heads. They didn''t expect that they would already reach the elemental spirit general realm and after seeing how Cerauno got a lightning fruit from the ''Tree of blessing'', they wanted to get some benefits from the tree. As soon as they nodded their heads, everyone left except for the three elemental spirits. "Ignis, ris and Novis. I will try to find the general realm elemental spirit stones for you. Until then, you can cultivate in the elemental paradise." Ajax replied to them and all of a sudden, he got a system notification which made him excited. At the same time, he sensed powerful energy fluctuations in the inner world. Chapter 782: Official skill:- Count down

Chapter 782: Official skill:- Count down

''Ding, The elemental spirit Halo hadpletely turned into a time elemental spirit. ''Ding, The host can now form a contract with him. Just as Ajax looked at the golden pool where he sensed extreme energy fluctuations, he received two system notifications. ''Finally...'' Ajax was excited as he hurriedly rushed towards the time-elemental paradise. "Master, I can now form a contract with you." Besides the golden pool, a golden coloured elemental spirit with a height of 2 meters stood and when he saw Ajax, he hurriedly bowed to him before informing him that he could finally form a contract with Ajax. Until now, Halo didn''t have any element in him. So, he was unable to form a contract with Ajax. However, things are different now as he finally became a time-elemental spirit. ''Let''s finish the contract ceremony.'' Ajax didn''t say anything as he marked his spirit mark in Halo''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming an official contract with a second rare auxiliary elemental spirit. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a grade 2 elemental paradise upgrade crystal. ''Haha...today must be the luckiest day.'' ''Ding, The system added 50 spirit points to the host''s ount in the elemental spirit store. When he saw the rewards for just forming an official contract with Halo, Ajax could not help butugh out loud. Today, not only did he form two official contracts with two rare elemental spirits but he also formed unofficial contracts with six auxiliary elemental spirits along with five regr elemental spirits. Moreover, he can also upgrade one of his elemental paradises to grade 2 and his goal of buying the blood elemental paradise also became a little closer. ''Anyway, let''s see what official skill I gained from Halo.'' Since everyone''s official contract will give the summoner an additional skill, Ajax curiously opened his ''Skills'' section. ''Ding, Official skills:- Demon w (level 3), Shadow clone (level 3), Dimensional shackles (level 1) and Count down (Level 1). ''It''s not a time pause or a time halt.'' Ajax expected he could gain a skill that is capable of stopping the time for a few seconds; however, when he saw a different skill name, Ajax was a little disappointed. ''No matter what, it is still a time-rted skill. I should check it.'' Nevertheless, he revealed a slight smile on his face before checking histest official skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Count down (Level 1) Effect:- When the host activates this skill, an imaginary timer of 10 seconds will appear behind him. Within these 10 seconds, the host''s speed will be increased by 3 times his original speed whereas his opponent''s speed will be decreased by 3 times. Note:- Increase the level to increase the timer, host''s speed increase and his enemies speed decrease. ''This is not a bad skill for level 1.'' After seeing the information on the skill, Ajax nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. Basically, he could be six times faster than his opponents and adding it with his bloodline, then it will be even more. So, as long as he uses it properly, Ajax can kill huge armies in 10 seconds with his ''Enemy extinction skill'' from the inheritance skill. ''Halo, take these stones and break through to the general realm and form the connection with the ''Tree of blessing''.'' Soon, he gave the same suggestion to the time elemental spirit before walking towards the ''Tree of blessing''. Because he saw a new leaf on a new branch. ''Ding, Tree name:- Tree of blessing. Helpers:- Cerauno, Bane, Volcanis, Necros and Spirus. Even without the help of the system, Ajax could say the new leaf belongs to Spirus because the leaf waspletely green in colour. ''Among all the leaves, Cerauno''s blessing leaf is much bigger than other leaves.'' It was clearly visible that Cerauno''s whit coloured leaf is much bigger and brighter than other leaves. ''Ding, Cerauno''s blessing leaf:- 0/6 drops of lightning essence. ''Oh...so, after receiving a blessing from the tree, they have to provide even more spirit essence to gain the next blessing.'' Finally, Ajax understood who the ''Tree of blessing'' works and looked at the remaining four leaves. ''Ding, Volcanis''s blessing leaf:- 2/3 drops of fire essence. ''Ding, Necros''s blessing leaf:- 2/3 drops of dark essence. ''Ding, Spirus''s blessing leaf:- 1/3 drops of life essence. ''Ding, Bane''s blessing leaf:- 2/3 drops of poison essence. Except for Spirus, the other three elemental spirits just needed another one drop of spirit essence. ''Let''s see what this ''Tree of blessing'' will give them when they finish the goal.'' With one blessing, Ajax can''te to a conclusion that the ''Tree of blessing'' will always give good items because he was disappointed many times when he expected good rewards from the system. So he didn''t keep high hopes in order to not get any disappointments. ''Let them condense their spirit essence, while I will arrange things in the cursed wilderness before entering the five elemental spirit.'' Since he had already finished his first step in travelling to the elemental spirit world, Ajax''s next step was to enter the five elemental world; however, before that, he had to arrange some things in Gaimont''s territory. With that thought in his mind, Ajax left the inner world and didn''t bother about the elemental spirits because he already gave all the orders for them. As long as they form connections with the ''Tree ofo blessing'', their cultivation and battle prowess will be increased. ''Also, I wonder what type of missions they will get from the elemental quest tab.'' After the system upgradeed, the elemental spirits can increase their cultivation bypleting the mission generated by the quest tab. However, there were no missions in the quest tab yet. So, he didn''t ponder much about it beforeing out of the small cave. "Master." As soon as he came out of the cave, Ajax was greeted by Gaimont who looked a little anxious. "What happened, Gaimont?" Because of the spirit mark in Gaimont''s spirit consciousness, Ajax could sense something was troubling Gaimont. So, he asked the golden wyvern king about it. "Master, while you are in seclusion, I got information that the king of spirit beasts'' condition has be critical and the first spirit beast king is gathering the support of other spirit beast kings to kill the King." ''What?'' Hearing Gaimont''s words, Ajax was a little surprised and thought, ''If the king of spirit beasts dies, then I can freely use Gaimont''s army to destroy the assassin sect.'' Unlike Gaimont, Ajax was not anxious and felt that it was better for the king of spirit beast to die; however, he felt that there were some disadvantages also if the king dies. "Ufff" Taking a deep breath, Ajax looked at Gaimont for a moment before thinking about something and asked Gaimont, "Gaimont, do you have the ability to meet and bring others to meet the king of the spirit beasts ?" That''s right! Ajax wanted to meet the king of the spirit beast kings in the inner section. Because the disadvantages for the King''s death are greaterpared to the advantages. So, if? Gaimont has the ability to meet the King and bring Ajax with him, Ajax might help him from dying. ******* The author was motivated with his first CROWN (gift) for the book and released this chapter. Ralphmortonjr thank you for the CROWN. The author is (not) expecting his second and third CROWNS for the book. Chapter 783: Ajax meets Skaros

Chapter 783: Ajax meets Skaros

The advantage if the king of the spirit beasts died was he could wage wars without any problem; however, even if he wanted to destroy the assassin sect, the other powers will help the assassin sect in killing the spirit beasts. As for the disadvantage, the other spirit beast kings will attack Gaimont''s territory and his battle beasts formation will be taken over by them. So, he wanted the king of the spirit beasts to live for at least a few more months until he power-up his elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts and battle beasts. "Th...this is¡­." When he heard Ajax''s words, Gaimont stuttered in his words. "Just say it. As long as I meet the king of the spirit beasts, I can help him live for a couple of months or even a year." "Really? Then I will bring you to him." After hearing Ajax''s words, Gaimont became excited as he hurriedly nodded his head. Since Gaimont is the weakest among the spirit beast kings in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he wanted the king of spirit beast kings to live. "Why will I lie to you?" Ajax rolled his eyes at him. "Sorry master. I was too excited earlier." Gaimont suppressed his excitement and continued to say, "Although I can''t promise you that I can help you meet him, I will try my best." Gaimont was just a weak spirit beast king who worked very hard to reach his current position. So, just like Geron, Gaimont also received the king of the spirit beast kings'' acknowledgement. However, unlike Geron who had a genius son, Gaimont didn''t have any great achievements to make the king his brother. But, Gaimont was confident that he could help Ajax meet the king because it was rted to his health. So, he thought Skaros would agree to meet Ajax. ''Looks like Darbaudr is still in the elemental spirit world.'' While Gaimont was in his thoughts, Ajax nced at the distant cave and muttered to himself. Soon, Ajax and Gaimont flew towards Skaros'' old cave. "Your majesty, I am requesting an audience with you." It took them nearly an hour to reach the old cave and as soon as they reached, Gaimont bowed in the direction of the cave before shouting as loudly as possible. "Gaimont,e back in a few days. Right now, I am very busy." Soon, a majestic voice resounded from the old cave which made Ajax''s shiver a little. ''The voice itself is so powerful, I wonder what realm he reached.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself because it was the first time he felt someone''s voice made him shiver. "Your majesty, it''s about your health." Hearing King''s words, Gaimont became anxious and hurriedly said the next line. ''Don''t worry about my health. I am perfectly alright. To be honest, I am much better than before.'' Unlikest time, Gaimont received a voice transmission from King which made Gaimont extremely excited. ''Master, we don''t need to worry about the King''s health anymore. He said he is alright and asked us to not disturb him.'' As soon as he received the King''s voice transmission, Gaimont replied the same thing through the voice transmission. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked for a second before suppressing that shock and transmitted his voice, ''It''s really a good thing that he is alright and I think the news about his health bing severe was also his doing.'' ''Looks like it.'' Gaimont also nodded his head and got a rough idea of what was happening inside the inner section of the cursed wilderness. How could Ajax and Gaimont not understand what the king of the spirit beast kings was nning? He was just ying his health card. So those top three spirit beast kings under him try something funny. Then, he would take care of them. Even though Skaros liked the peace and didn''t want unnecessary killings, when someone wanted to harm him, he would not show any mercy to them. "Let''s go, Gaimont." Since they came here for nothing, Ajax wanted to go back and arrange some things before leaving for the five elemental world. "Yes, master." Gaimont nodded his head and decided to go back to his territory. Since the king of the spirit beast kings is perfectly alright, he doesn''t have to worry about his territory. ''Once there are enough battle beasts in my territory, I will wage wars on the other territories that looked down on me.'' Gaimont clenched his fists as he followed behind Ajax. "Ajax?" Just as they took a few steps, Ajax heard a familiar voice from the distance. "Uncle Geron?" Looking at the handsome middle-aged man in the distance, Ajax politely greeted Geron. "Brother Gaimont, how are you?" After nodding his head at Ajax, Geron hurriedly greeted Gaimont with a polite look on his face. "Little brother Geron seemed to be more powerful than before." As for Gaimont, he replied to Geron with a slight smile on his face. Looking at the two talking with each other, Ajax was not surprised because one is the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness whereas another one was the king of one of the territories in the inner section. Also, another thing Ajax noticed was Geron was respectful to Gaimont from the start. "Ajax, what are you doing here?" "Uncle Geron, what are you doing here?" All of a sudden. Both Geron and Ajax asked the same question at the same time. "Me? I came to meet the king of the spirit beast kings." Once again both answered at the same time which made Gaimontugh. "We came here to help¡­..." Soon, Gaimont exined the reason why they came here. Since Gaimont had already known that Geron and Skaros were the sworn brothers, he said everything to Geron without any fear. "Oh." Geron nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "Ajax, do you want to meet the King?" After learning about the purpose of their visit, Geron looked at Ajax before asking him. "Hmm...I will meet if it''s possible." After listening to their talk, Ajax understood that Geron was close to the king. So, he wanted to use this opportunity to see the king of the spirit beast kings. "But, I heard that he is not seeing anyone for a week." Soon, after giving his earlier reply, Ajax shook his head. "You don''t need to worry about it. Since you want to meet the king, I will help you with it." With a slight smile on his face, Geron replied to Ajax before turning towards the old cave and said, ''Bring brother, I brought your benefactor.'' Geron''sst words, he didn''t dare to speak out loud; instead, he used the voice transmission tomunicate with Skaros. ''Huh? Benefactor?'' Soon, Skaors, who waszily sitting in his old cave raised his brows when he heard Geron''s words. ''Yes, brother. I got the advanced essence pills from this young man beside me.'' For a high-level cultivator like Skaros, he could clearly see Ajax from his ce. After checking Ajax for a few moments, he said, "You three can enter the cave." As soon as he finished his words, the vines that were blocking the old cave moved away and the entrance is now clear to walk into the old cave. ***** Bryan_marzolf thanks for the CROWN.

Chapter 784: Primeval World

Ajax was curious to meet the strongest spirit beast in the Zrochester province and slowly walked along with Geron and Gaimont. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he entered the cave, the vines sealed the entrance and the entire cave started glowing with green light. "Big brother, your form¡­.." After entering the cave, while Ajax was busy checking his surroundings, Geron asked a tree man. Because of Geron''s high cultivation, he was able to see the tree man in the distance; however, but for some reason, his senses were blocked as he could not see more than a few meters. Earlier, Skaros looked like a dried-up tree with barely any leaves on his body; however, the current Skaros was filled with endless vigour and vitality. Each of his branches was filled with many leaves and fruits and every branch looked very strong. "It''s all thanks to the advanced essence pill." Soon, a tree man with many green leaves along with some fruits on his branches came into Ajax''s sight. "Your majesty." Gaimont greeted Skaros with a respectful look on his face. "How are you, Gaimont?" Skaros asked the golden wyvern king with a slight smile on his face. "I am good, your majesty. I was worried about your health and wanted to bring my master to help you." Pointing at Ajax, Gaimont replied with the same respectful look on his face. "I was wondering why you acknowledged a young human as your master; however, after hearing Geron''s words about the advance essence pill, I can see he is not a noral human." Earlier, Skaros was surprised for a bit when he noticed that Gaimont, one of the spirit beast kings in the inner section acknowledged a young general realm human; however, he didn''t bother about their master-servant rtionship as long as they didn''t wage war on the humans. Later, he got to know that the advanced essence pills which helped him a lot at the end of his life, came from Ajax, he felt Ajax was not a normal human. "Your majesty, your evaluation of me is¡­." "You don''t need to say anything. If not for your advanced essence pills, I would have been killed by my own subjects." Before Ajax could finish his words, Skaros interrupted Ajax and thanked him for the advanced essence pills. Even though he got the pills from Geron, if not for Ajax, even Geron would not have got any pills. "..." Ajax was speechless when he saw how sincere the powerful spirit beasts even though he basically did nothing. Soon, they started talking about various things which made Ajax very interested as he continued to listen to them. For the entire time, Ajax silently stood there and digested the things he learned from their discussions. Finally, he understood that the first spirit beast king wanted to be the king of the inner section by killing the Skaros. He could not even wait for another year and wanted to kill him with his own hands. However, he knew he was not a match for Skaros. So, he took the help of the second and third spirit beast kings. As for the other spirit beast kings, they didn''t join them but some hoped they would seed in killing Skaros whereas spirit beast kings like Gaimont hoped they would fail. In the end, Skaros intentionally spread rumours that his health is not good and waited for someone who dared toe to kill him. As for Geron''s sudden appearance in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he was asked by Skaros toe to his cave to genuinely thank Geron for the advanced essence pill. "Geron, there is another reason why I asked you toe here today." Soon, Skaros looked at Geron and continued, "I can reach the King realm whenever I want now." "What?" Not only Geron and Gaimont, but even Ajax was also shocked when he heard that because other than protector Olek, Skaros is the second powerful being he saw in the Zrochester province. That''s right! After seeing Skaros, Ajax got a rough understanding of the power levels of the powerful beings in the Zrochester province. The spirit beast kings under Skaros have the same strength as the vagrant cultivators and the other leading figures of the Zrochester province. Of course, the guild master is more powerful among the vagrant cultivators andpared to the family heads of the five great families, the sect leaders are powerful. And Stephen Draton is powerful among all. However, there were any other old cultivators who secluded themselves in each power who wille out of their seclusion when the sect or family is in danger. It''s just like how the power levels of the 10 spirit beast kings vary from first to tenth, the same varying power levels are applicable for the humans too. "Yes, and I got an invitation from a greater world. So, I have to leave this normal world." When he was saying these words, Skaros looked a little bit excited; however, he suppressed it because he wanted to maintain the image of a powerful spirit beast. "What? Your majesty, will you be leaving this world?" "Brother, you will go to a greater world." As soon as they heard Skaros'' words, everyone was surprised and at the same time, there were various emotions shown on their faces. They were happy that Skaros was going to a greater world because it is what every being yearns for. At the same time, they were anxious that if Skaros leaves this world, then the cursed wilderness will be ruled by chaos and destruction. At that time, even humans will start killing them because there will be no one powerful enough to control all the spirit beast kings. "Yes. With the help of that advanced essence pill, I have awakened the ancient primeval king''s bloodline and I got an invitation from the Primeval world which is a greater world." Skaros nodded his head and looking at Gaimont and Geron, he continued, "However, don''t worry. I asked for a time period of one year but the envoy gave me a time period of six months to wrap things in this world before leaving." "So, I am depending on you two because, in this world, I can only trust you two. Within six months, whoever bes the stronger will be the new king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness." "Also, you don''t need to worry about your training. For the next six months, I will train you to be as strong as possible and depending on your strengths, one of you will be the king." Skaros didn''t wait for anyone to reply as he continuously said what he wanted to say. "Thank you, your majesty." "Thank you, brother." Soon, Geron and Gaimont both thanked Skaros because, with the help of Skaros, they were 100 percent confident that they would be strong. Even if they were unable to be very strong, they were confident of reaching the same level as that of the first spirit beast king. So, they thanked and without any hesitation agreed. As for Ajax, he didn''t mind Skaros training Gaimont because, at the end of the day, all he wanted was his summons to be strong. ***** Tristan_barron, thank you for the CROWN.

I will try to release an extra chapter today. Chapter 785: Gifts, Dragons might

Chapter 785: Gifts, Dragon''s might

"As for my benefactor, I will give these three fruits." After talking about Geron and Gaimont''s training, Skaros looked at Ajax while saying those words. At the same time, one of the long branches on his head moved towards Ajax. On that branch, there were three fruits in different colours. ''This¡­..'' "Ajax, don''t think much and take them. Those fruits will greatly help you." While Ajax was hesitating to take the fruits, Geron suggested he take those fruits. ''Hmm.'' Nodding his head, Ajax plucked three fruits from the branch. ''Ding, Item name:- Attack fruit (One-time use). Attack stored:- Primeval destruction. Primeval sh:- Eating the fruit will help the consumer to destroy everything around him (one kilometer radius). No being below the king realm will survive the attack. After taking the three different coloured fruits, Ajax checked the information on the red-coloured fruit and he was surprised for a second. ''An attack fruit?'' This was the first time Ajax had seen and after seeing the information on the fruit, his mind broadened. Soon, he checked the information on the other two fruits without wasting any time. First, he checked the yellow-coloured fruit. ''Ding, Item name:- Defence fruit (One-time use). Defence stored:- Primeval block. Primeval block:- Eating this fruit will enable a barrier that can obstruct any attack below the king realm. ''Woah. Now blue coloured fruit.'' Ajax already expected this kind of effect and didn''t feel many surprises but he was excited for gaining such life-saving things. Nevertheless, he hurriedly checked thest fruit in his hand. ''Ding, Item name:- Support fruit (One-time use). Support stored:- Primeval avatar. Primeval avatar:- Crushing this fruit will summon a temporary avatar of a primeval being that could fight even demi-king realm beings. Note:- Effectsts for only five minutes. ''What? A primeval avatar?'' This time Ajax was surprised because an avatar that has equal strength as that of Skaros was very hard to get by. However, he got one by almost doing nothing. "Looks like you have already found out what these fruits can be used for. It is a small gift from me. With this, you can go anywhere without any fear as long as it was not guarded by a king realm beings." Looking at the shocked look on Ajax''s face, Skaros said with a slight smile on his face. "These are too valuable to take, your majesty." Ajax felt a little hesitant to take such good items without doing anything. So, he thought of rejecting his items. However, deep inside his heart, he didn''t want to return it because, with these items, his journey will be a little smoother when he travels to other worlds. "These fruits are of little use to me but it will be very useful because you have to potential to reach the king realm. Until you reach the king realm, you will be constantly under attack by your fellow humans. So, I suggest you keep these items." As for Skaros, he was very adamant about not taking back those three coloured fruits. Ajax nodded his head because a rogue cultivator who has the potential to reach the king realm will be killed by the top powers of the province. ''Killing a nt before it turns into a sturdy tree.'' This is the line followed by the top powers of any province. They didn''t like nameless cultivators bing their equal. So, they will try all the methods to either kill them or recruit them into their organization. "Thank you for the gifts, your majesty." Soon, Ajax thanked Skaros before storing the coloured fruits in his inventory. ''Adding to the summoning scroll, I have another powerful avatar to fight my enemies.'' Ajax remembered the summoning scroll which can summon an elegant walker when activated and became a little excited. The summoning scroll was a reward from the battle tower which he stored to use for emergency purposes. "Okay then, Ajax, if you want to stay, you can stay here to watch their training; otherwise, you can leave." After Ajax took the fruits, Skaros wanted to start the training for Geron and Gaimont. So, he gave two choices for Ajax. "I have something to do, your majesty. So, I will take my leave." Of course, Ajax chose to leave the old cave because he wanted to finish a mission in the five elemental world and next travel to other worlds to increase his cultivation. Soon, Ajax left the old cave after talking about a few things with Geron and Gaimont. For Geron, Ajax mostly asked about Keshe and Brave on ''How they are doing'' and ''Is everything alright with them''. As for Gaimont, he talked about his territory and gave him an advanced essence pill. He also promised that he would help him evolve into a golden dragon king by the time he finishes his training. ''Twilight, let''s go.'' Just like other summons the destructive twilight dragon also reached rank 5 and once again became powerful enough to kill peak general realm beings. Moreover, if the dragon destroys something for some time, his strength will increase with the destruction he made. Then he could even match the elite general realm beings depending on the percentage of his destruction. Ajax jumped onto the back of the dragon and asked him to travel towards Gaimont''s territories. ''He will be a perfect weapon to destroy the armies of the smaller worlds.'' While sitting on the back of the dragon, Ajax checked the skills of the dragon and decided to remove all the restraints on his dragon to wreak havoc in the smaller worlds. ''Ding, A new system mission generated in the spirit beast quest tab. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised to see the sudden system notification in his head and moreover, it is rted to the spirit beasts. ''I think it is for Twilight, I guess.'' It is very easy for Ajax to guess for whom the mission was generated; however, he didn''t know what type of mission will be assigned for the Twilight. So, he was curious about it and without wasting any time, he directly opened the new quest tab to check the mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Dragon''s might. Details:- As a destruction twilight dragon, it wanted to show its might for a while now; however, the host is hiding it in his inner world. Mission goal:-? Destructive twilight dragon has to be famous in the Zrochester province. More information:- Dragon has to destroy anything rted to the top three sects OPENLY. Reward:- 1) Two-stage increment in the current rank for the destructive twilight dragon. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to see such a mission for Twilight. The system clearly wants him to be hunted by everyone from the Zrochester province. Because the system wanted Twilight to destroy anything rted to the top sects in front of everyone. In this world, pure dragons were almost extinct and if there were some dragons, they were in some deepest corners of the world where almost no one can enter without sufficient strength. So, if a rank 5 pure-blooded dragon appears in front of everyone, then it will be hunted by everyone. Moreover, Ajax still didn''t have enough strength to go against the entire province yet. So, he felt it was a risky thing. ******** D1R3_W0LF, thank you for the SWORD. Dwight_Slywks, thank you for the RING. Ralphmortonjr, thank you for the GRIMOIRE. ..... Chapter 786: Vanish Mode

Chapter 786: Vanish Mode

''However, the reward is good.'' Even though the mission was dangerous for Twilight, it''s worth the risk. Currently, the dragon is in low-level rank 5 and if the mission ispleted, then with the help of the reward from the mission, the beast will reach high-level rank 5 spirit beast. So, Ajax felt it was worth it. ''Hmm...how should I execute the mission?'' Soon, Ajax started thinking about how toplete the mission with minimum risk. ''System, can a powerful being from the Zrochester province stop me from entering the five elemental world?'' After thinking for some time, Ajax asked the system about something. Since he could just release the dragon to destroy one of the properties belonging to the top sect and store it back into his inner world before escaping into the five elemental world, he wanted to know whether the leading figures of the Zrochester province could stop him or not? If they could stop him, he had to think about something else; otherwise, he could just proceed with it. As for why he can''t store the dragon in his inner world and act ignorant in front of the leading figures of the Zrochester province is because they could sense the dragon'' energy fluctuations on him. If they could sense that, then he would be hunted by everyone except for Vagrant cultivators who believed he had a powerful master. ''Ding, There are some chances of leading figures using some powerful techniques to restrict the host from using any type of portals. ''Sigh'' Seeing that system notification Ajax sighed a little as he racked his brains to find another way toplete Twilight''s mission. ''Wait for a second. Should I upgrade my hollow mask?'' He was still on the back of the dragon which was flying towards Gaimont''s territory and all of a sudden, he thought of something but he felt a little hesitant. The hollow mask is a mask that can not only hide his cultivation but it can also hide his scent. However, it can''t hide his cultivation and scent from the eyes of the elite general realm. So, he thought of upgrading it from low-level heaven grade to high-level heaven grade using the mid-grade upgrade stone along with the sess stone. But the problem is, he wanted to use those two stones to upgrade the battle-axe he got from Stephen draton. ''Looks like I should wait for some time to upgrade the battle-axe.'' Since he already had the inheritance sword and a legend grade spear which was currently resting, he thought he could wait for some time to get a high-level battle axe. ''It''s decided then. Before I change my mind, I will upgrade it.'' He didn''t waste any time as he took out the hollow mask from his inventory and the two stones, the upgrade stone and the sess stone. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade the hollow mask? ''Yes.'' He nodded his head at the system notification. ''Ding, An upgrade stone and a sess stone are consumed, Please wait until the upgrade ispleted. Along with the system notification, the hollow mask in his hand started shining with bright light. ''Ding, Hollow mask''s upgrade ispleted. Please check the full details. The bright light shone for a few minutes and by the time he reached Gaimont''s territory, Ajax got the ''upgradeplete'' system notification. ''Swoosh'' ''Twilight, after some time, you are going to be famous.'' He jumped from the dragon before transmitting his voice to the dragon. Even though the mission just asked him to destroy something rted to the top sects, whether it is one or two properties, it doesn''t matter to be famous. So, he informed the dragon about it. ''Roar'' Understanding Ajax''s words, Twilight roared as loudly as possible to show its excitement. The roar caused a huge uproar in Gaimont''s territory; however, before anyone could see the source of the roar, Ajax summoned the dragon back into his inner world before looking at the hollow mask''s information. .... While he was checking the hollow mask''s information, the spirit beast kings under Skaros noticed Ajax flying through to the sky. ''Let''s finish the matter of our king first andter, we can always invade the humans to get the pureblood dragon.'' The only reason why Ajax didn''t get any obstructions while travelling through the air was because of the first spirit beast king who ordered the other spirit beast kings to not attack him for now. Even though the pure dragon is useful for them, it is not as important as their current mission. Moreover, each and every spirit beast king (except for Gaimont) had awakened the bloodline that is not rted to dragons. So, they didn''t pay much attention to Ajax and listened to the first spirit beast king''s word. .... In Gaiimont''s territory, ''Ding, Item name:- Hollow mask. Grade:- High-level heaven grade. Effects:-1) Can hide the cultivation from anyone below the king realm. 2) Can change the presence of the user into an entirely different human which makes it impossible for anyone below the king realm to find out. Special effect:- Vanish mode. Vanish mode:- A special skill that can only be used once a day which helps the user to turn invisible. Note:- When the user is in Vanish mode, he can''t use any attacks. If he uses any attacks, the special effect will be cancelled. ''Woah'' Even though the effects were what Ajax had expected, the special effect was not within his range. ''This is what I want.'' Actually, the hollow mask was one of his methods to help Twilight toplete the mission; however, he didn''t think that the hollow mask alone is enough for him to finish the mission. ''Nevertheless, I should prepare another alternative method to escape from the leading figures.'' Still, he felt having an extra n is always a good thing and thought, ''I will wrap up the things with Darbaudr''s cultivation before checking my second n.'' Taking a deep breath, he stored his hollow mask in his inventory and walked towards the cave where Darbaudr was resting. His n was to remove all the seals from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness and help him to return to his peak cultivation stage. At the time, he will have two strongpanions to help him fight against the assassin sect. Currently, Ajax had put the thought of revenge on hold because the assassin sect was not going anywhere and during this time, he can increase his cultivation to a sufficient level and increase the strength of his summons. ''At that time, even the king of the spirit beast kings will leave this world. So, I can use Gaimont''s army along with my army which will be very powerful by that time.'' Ajax rubbed his hands in excitement. After six months, he would have nearly 200 battle beasts, all his summons will reach at least level 5 elite general realm and his own cultivation might reach level 6 or level 7 general realm. So, thinking about all these things, Ajax could not help but look forward to that day. ''Huh? Looks like Darbaudr is still sleeping.'' Ajax checked the cave in which Darbaudr was resting and sensed that Darbaudr was still sleeping which meant he was still in the elemental world. ''Let''s check my backup n to finish the mission then.'' ************* pleted the regr chapters for today Chapter 787: Prophis skills

Chapter 787: Prophis'' skills

''Let''s check my backup n to finish the mission then.'' Since Darbaudr was still in his sleep to form a contract with an elemental spirit in the elemental spirit world, Ajax didn''t disturb him. Instead, he thought of checking something that can be used whenpleting Twilight''s mission. ''Even though it was a mission for Twilight, it looks like I am doing everything.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he summoned Prophis. That''s right! His backup n was Prophis. Since Prophis was a space elemental spirit, he will have many spatial skills. So, if there is any good skill to hide from the eyes of the leading figures, then he could use that skill. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Prophis Cultivation level:- Level 1 Elemental spirit general. Skills:- Teleport (Level 5), Dimensional de (level 4), Inner world (level 3), Spatial maniption (level 2) and Spatial Lock (level 1). After using various elemental stones, Prophis had reached the level 1 elemental spirit general realm and had a total of five skills. Just from a look, Ajax could say each one of them is useful in their own aspects. Nevertheless, he checked all the new skills to get a clear idea of them because he was also fooled once by the names of the skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Dimensional de (level 4). Effect:- A de that can cut through anything. Be it an armour, or space, as long as it is shed nothing can stop it. Note:- Of course, the opponent can dodge it and only be effective below level 5 elite general realm cultivators. ''An attack-type skill...good.'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at the second skill with an interesting look on his face. Because the skill name is the same as the system feature. ''Ding, Skill name:- Inner world (Level 3). Effect:- A dimension space inside the body of the elemental spirit where he can store both living and non-living things but the living beings can''t cultivate inside it. Even nts can''t be grown in it. Note:- Nevertheless, as long as some inside his inner world, they can teleport along with the elemental spirit. ''Quite a support-type skill.'' Looking at the information about the inner world, Ajax nodded his head. Generally, Prophis can only teleport one being along with him; however, if there were many, he can''t teleport them with him. However, with the help of this skill, he could divide his army and attack from two different directions. If Prophis can store more than 100 elite general realm spirit beasts and elemental spirits and at the same time, he stores the same amount of summons in his inner world and attacks an organization from two different directions then the organization won''t stand a chance against them. So, Ajax felt he could make good use of Prophis'' inner world when ites to attacking sects or organisations. ''Ding, Skill name:- Spatial maniption (Level 2). Effect:- Can distort the space of around 10 meters of radius around him. Mostly used to shift the enemy attacks onto the enemy itself. ''Huh? Space distortion?'' Ajax was shocked to see such a powerful skill. As long as this skill reaches a specific level, Prophis can kill anyone just with a thought. ''Ding, Skill name:- Spatial lock (level 1). Effect:- Can lock 100 meters radius of space around him. While a spatial lock is used on a particr target, he can''t move for some time depending on the strength of the enemy. ''As expected of a space-type elemental spirit.'' After checking all the skills, Ajax felt that space elemental spirit really stands up to its name. "Prophis, you can cultivate in the inner world. If I need you, I will summon you after a few hours." Even though they were inside the cave, Ajax didn''t want others to notice Prophis because Prophis is his trump card and Ajax didn''t want to show him to others yet. So, he sent him into the inner world and at the same time, Darbaudr entered his cave. "Young master." As soon as he entered Ajax''s cave, Darbaudr greeted him with a respectful look on his face. Even though he was respectful towards Ajax from the beginning, it continued to grow because Ajax not only helped him break the seals in his spirit consciousness but he also helped him gain an elemental spirit. "So, did you form a contract with any elemental spirit?" Since Ajax had already given the summon crystal to the barbarian, he expected Darbaudr would form a contract with space elemental spirit. "Yes, young master. I form a contract with space elemental spirit." With an excited smile on his barbarian''s face, Darbaudr replied to Ajax. "Excellent." Ajax nodded his head as he took out three elemental spirit stones that can help any level 1 elemental spirit soldier to reach the elite elemental spiritmander within a short period of time. Moreover, Ajax had extra stones for low-level cultivation realms. So, he didn''t think much before giving those three stones to them. "Huh? These are¡­.thank you, young master." It took Darbaudr a few moments to know what the stones in his hands could be used for and hurriedly thanked Ajax. "No worries. Just increase your elemental spirit''s cultivation to a high-realm." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face before saying, "By the way, I can now remove all the seals from your spirit consciousness." "Huh?" Darbaudr froze at his position when he heard those words and with an expectant look on his face, he asked, "Really?" "Of course." Ajax knew Darbaudr would have a hard time believing his words. So, without wasting his words in exining him, he took out the seal breakingpass along with a high-level upgrade stone and a high-level sess stone. ''System, upgrade the seal breakingpass.'' He silently asked the system to upgrade the items. ''Ding, High-level upgrade stone and sess stones are consumed. ''Ding, Please wait until the upgrade of the item ispleted. Soon, a couple of system notifications rang in his head and it didn''t take much time for the item to upgrade to the legend grade before the glowing light from thepass disappeared. "Young master, this...is..." "Yes. Finally, this seal breakingpass became a legend grade item." While Darbaudr was stuttering in his words, Ajax replied to the barbarian and without waiting for Darbaudr''s reply, Ajax checked the information on thepass in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Seal breakingpass. Grade:- Low-level legend grade. Effects:- 1) Can break any seal below the king realm. 2) Once a target is selected, no matter where that target is hidden, thispass can find out its location. 3) It can also find any treasures within a 100-meter radius of the owner of thepass. More information:- A must-have item for a traveller who likes to travel to different ces and different worlds. Soon, theplete information about the seal breakingpass appeared in front of him. ''Huh? A new effect?'' Ajax was surprised to see a new effect for the seal breakingpass. He was only expecting the upgrade in the first effect; however, surprisingly there was another effect that could be very useful for him. ''I hope I can find some treasures with thispass.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at Darbaudr and said, "Time to break the seals" ***** No shoutouts for this chapter. Chapter 788: Darbaudrs original strength

Chapter 788: Darbaudr''s original strength

''System, use the seal breakingpass to break the seals in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax asked the system to break the seals. ''Ding, To break all the seals from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness, the host needs to provide a continuous supply of the essence of nature. Do you still like to break the seals? ''Huh? Isn''t it just 5000 units of the essence of nature? previously?'' Looking at thetest system notification, Ajax was confused as he thought for a moment before selecting, ''Yes.'' Since he was going to break all the seals, Ajax rted the continuous supply of the essence of nature to it. Moreover, the seal breakingpass is now a legend grade item. So, Ajax felt the requirements must have changed. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he agreed to the requirement to use the seal breakingpass, a red-coloured light shot from thepass and entered into Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness. ''Thud'' ''Aargh'' Darbaudr fell to the knees and groaned in pain while holding his head. "Darbadur, you can do it. Just endure the pain and you can return to your previous cultivation." "Also, after we go back to your province, let''s take revenge on that demon apostle." Seeing that Darbaudr was suffering too much and he was about to lose consciousness, Ajax tried to encourage him; however, his initial words didn''t make much impact on the barbarian. But when he used the words ''Revenge on the demon apostle'', Darbaudr clenched his teeth as his eyes shone with an evil look. ''Ding, All the seals in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness were broken and his cultivation returned to peak level 10 elite general realm. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully helping your follower reach his original cultivation. ''Ding, ''Mission:- Help the follower'' is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a sword. Please check it to know more information on the sword. It didn''t take much time before Darbaudr fell to the ground while panting heavily. At the same time, a series of system notifications rang in his head making Ajax reveal a slight smile. When he learned about the seal in Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness for the first time, Ajax received a mission ''Help the follower'' and whenever he broke a seal, he would be rewarded a small item. So, Ajax was expecting a good item since hepletely removed the seals from Darbaudr''s spirit consciousness and when he saw thest system notification, he was a little disappointed with the reward because he already has a legend grade inheritance sword. ''Anyway, if it is a good weapon, I can give it to Darbaudr.'' Ajax guessed that getting a legend grade sword is impossible. So, as long as the sword is a heaven grade weapon, he could give it to Darbaudr. "Darbaudr, how are you feeling?" Before checking the sword, he helped Darbaudr to get up from the ground and asked him. "I never felt this good before, young master." As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, he replied to him with an excited tone, "Thank you for your help. As long as I am alive, I will follow the young master even to the depths of hell." While thanking Ajax, Darbaudr fell to his knees and said those words from the bottom of his heart. Even though Darbaudr looked like he didn''t have any problem inside him, the seals in his spirit consciousness made him suffer for the whole time. Sometimes, he even thought of dying instead of enduring such pain; however, only the thought of revenge and Ajax''s promise of breaking all the seals in his spirit consciousness helped him. "You need to take some rest." Ajax just helped Darbaudr stand up once again and asked him to take a rest. "No need for any rest, young master. I am feeling great now." However, Darbaudr shook his head saying that he was not at all tired and decided to stand there. "Okay then." Ajax shook his head and thought of something. "Darbadur, I will be leaving this world for a while. Until I return, you have to look after the ''battle beasts formation'' and also, Gaimont is busy with his special training under some powerful spirit beast. So, you have to look after his territory too. Do you understand?" Soon, Ajax gave a couple of tasks to Darbaudr. "I will take good care of territory and ''Battle beasts formation''." Darbaudr ced his hand on his heart and promised with a serious look. "Good." Ajax nodded his head before taking out the sword he got just a few moments ago. He was not worried about the silver wyverns and bronze wyverns not following Darbadr''s orders because Ajax had enough confidence in Darabdur''s strength. Darbaudr is not only a peak elite general realm warrior but his affinity element is ''Space''. So, his battle prowess will be much higher than a regr peak elite general realm warrior. To put in more simple words, Darbaudr is more powerful than Gaimont. ''Ding, Item name:- Barbarian King''s sword. Grade:- High-level heaven grade. (Upgradable) Effect:- Whoever holds this sword can be the barbarian king. Weapon skills:- Angry sh, Bloodlust. Sinister sh:- A de made up of all the angry barbarians under the barbarian king. The strength of the de depends on the anger of the barbarian king and his subordinates. Bloodlust:- When using this sword to sh the enemies, the enemies will freeze with an unknown fearing from the sword. ''Woah...A sword tailor-made for Darbaudr.'' After seeing all the information about the sword, Ajax eximed in surprise and hurriedly took out the ''Barbarian King''s sword''? from the inventory before giving it to Darbaudr. "Darbaudr, take this sword." "Th..this sword¡­." Darbaudr was shocked to see a huge sword in Ajax''s hand. It was nearly 3 meters long and one meter wide. However, he was not shocked by the sword size; instead, he was shocked because he had once used a simr looking sword in his tribe''s ancestral records. ording to what Darbaudr knew, it originally belonged to the first barbarian who started the tribe in Ylercester province. However, it disappeared when the progenitor of his tribe went missing and from that time onwards, the tribe hasn''t progressed much; instead, it started to degrade. So, when he saw the simr-looking sword in Ajax''s sword, Darbaudr was shocked to the core. "What happened, Darbaudr?" Ajax asked with a slight smile because he thought that Darbaudr could feel some connection with the sword. "Take it. This is a perfect sword for you." While Darbaudr was thinking about his progenitor, his thoughts were interrupted by Ajax. "It''s nothing, young master." Darbaudr hurriedly recovered from his thoughts and took the sword into his hands. ''This is not the same sword that was used by my progenitor.'' After taking the sword into his hands, Darbaudr could feel it was a high-level heaven grade sword but his progenitor''s sword was a legend grade sword. So, he didn''t bother to ask Ajax any questions and thanked Ajax with an excited smile on his face. "Okay then. I will leave this world. Don''t forget to look after the territory and the battle beasts formation. You can go first." Ajax nodded his head and asked Darbaudr to leave. ********** Gruppe_Alpha, bryan_marzolf, thanks for the SWORD. OdinsRaven, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Chapter 789: Destroying assassin sects stores

''Time to finish the mission before entering the five elemental world.'' Stretching his body a little, Ajax muttered to himself beforeing out of Gaimont''s territory. For this mission, he didn''t bring Darbaudr because if someone saw Darbaudr, they would directly rte it to Ajax. Also, even though Darbaudr is powerful now, he didn''t want to start the fight yet as he was waiting for Gaimont to finish his training and more battle beasts to be produced from the battle beasts formation. Also, he wanted all his elemental spirits to reach the elite general realm before erasing the assassin sect from the face of this world. ''Which ce should I go now.'' Ajax didn''t use any spirit beast to fly; instead, he ran while thinking about which ce he should go to destroy the properties of the assassin sect. That''s right! Among the top three sects, he chose to destroy the properties of the assassin sect in one town. Since he had a feud with the assassin sect, of course, he would choose the assassin sect''s properties to destroy. "Hmm...I will remove the assassin properties from the Goldcrest town." Finally, he decided to choose the Goldcrest town because it is closest to the cursed wilderness, and it will take so much time for the leading figures from the top sects and five great families. Generally, in every town and city, various properties belonged to the top powers of the Zrochester province, which were looked after by elite general realm cultivators. Ajax nned to destroy the properties of the assassin sect and escape before the leading figurese to the town for the dragon. However, some properties were protected by the barriers, and to destroy the store, Ajax had to enter the store, and then he could summon Twilight to destroy that property. At the same time, there are some chances that emergency traps might be activated that might imprison him until the leading figures arrive. ''I can do it. As long as I get one second, I can use my chance to escape to the five elemental world.'' Ajax clenched his fists before taking out the hollow mask from his inventory and covered his face with it. "To the Goldcrest town." After picking his target, he increased his speed. He used the level 2 lightning cloud steps'' second effect to increase his speed for the next one hour. Soon, he entered a familiar town where he had lived for the past few months. Without wasting any time, he directly rushed towards the market square of the mercenary guild. In the market square of the mercenary guild, the shops of other top sects are situated. So, he threw 1000 low-level spirit stones towards the guards and entered the square with a nonchnt look on his face. ''Woah...this young master is too rich.'' ''I wonder which top power he belongs to.'' ''Judging from the attire, he belongs to none of the top powers; however, we never know the habits of their young master from the top powers.'' ''Let''s share 500 spirit stones each. They willst us for a very long time.'' Soon, the two guards divided the spirit stones and stored them in their bags because they were not rich enough to buy a space ring. .... Inside the market square, In the market square, the stores belonging to the top powers were built with formations, and at the same time, they looked colourful. Many items in the store could make a normal general realm young man crazy; however, these items were not valuable for Ajax. So, he didn''t bother to waste his time checking the items and directly went to the ce where many assassin sect''s stores were situated. ''After I destroy them, I have to be careful regarding the guild master and others." Even though they didn''t like the other top powers, they will not allow some random cultivator to destroy the store in the market square. So, Ajax thought he had to be careful and enter into an alchemy store belonging to the assassin sect. "Young customer, what do you want?" Even though Ajax''s clothes were not costly, the shopkeeper asked with a calm expression on his face. "How long are you working for the assassin sect?" Ajax didn''t answer his question; instead, he asked the shopkeeper a question. There was a reason why Ajax asked that question, and he waited for an answer from the shopkeeper. "Young man, I am the outer sect elder of the assassin sect." While saying that, the old shopkeeper proudly said. Even though the old man felt something was wrong with the young man in front of him, the old man was not worried because this is the mercenary guild''s market square. Moreover, he himself was a level 2 elite general realm cultivator. So, he answered with a proud look on his face. "Oh. So, you are a big shot of the assassin sect." As soon as he got the answer from the shopkeeper, Ajax revealed a cruel smile on his face, which was, of course, not seen by others because of the hollow mask. "Why do you ask that, young man? Are you going to buy something or not?" The old man felt a bad premonition in his heart and released his cultivation pressure to suppress Ajax to force him to buy something from the store. However, Ajax felt nothing from the cultivation pressure as he snapped his fingers before saying, "I asked that question because I want to send you to hell." ''Roar'' As soon as he snapped his fingers, a huge dragon of around 30 meters appeared above Ajax, and the store in which Ajax was standing was destroyed entirely just by summoning the dragon. ''Twilight, destroy the remaining nine stores in this row.'' Ajax silently transmitted his order to the dragon, which became excited, and with a single dragon breath, the nine stores belonging to the assassin sect werepletely turned into ashes. ''Looks, there is a huge dragon.'' ''Is that a pure-blooded dragon?'' ''Go quickly destroy the emergency talisman.'' Many cultivators were shocked by the sudden appearance of the dragon; however, many didn''t know the difference between a pure-blooded dragon and an impure-blooded dragon. Even if they could find out that the purple-coloured dragon is a pure-blooded dragon, they were not powerful enough to fight it, not to mention killing it. The cultivators from various powers immediately recovered from their shock and hurriedly crushed the energy talisman to alert their leaders. Emergency talismans will only let their leaders know that it was important and required their presence at the store. "Huh? The emergency talisman was destroyed." "Looks like something is happening in the Goldcrest stores." Soon, the top powers didn''t waste any time before rushing towards the Goldcrest town. They hurriedly rushed towards the stores because it is the Goldcrest town where chances of the enemy attacking their stores are very less. It made them think about what was that important for their subordinates to crush the emergency talisman. "Who are you? Why did you destroy my assassin sect''s stores?" The old shopkeeper became enraged as he appeared behind Ajax and asked him by cing his dagger on Ajax''s neck. Chapter 790: Beast enraged incense

Chapter 790: Beast enraged incense

The old man was shocked to the core when he saw the pure-blooded dragon in the air. That''s right! The old man was able to sense the dragon was a pure-blooded one because he was a level 2 elite general realm. He was very confident in killing Ajax; however, he wanted to know the identity of the masked young man and why he wanted to destroy the assassin sect''s stores openly. "I am searching for the reason too." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared behind the old man. "Puchi" "But the sad thing is you will die without knowing it." A ck coloured demon hand came out of the old man''s chest, and in that hand, there was a heart which was crushed by the hand. The meaning behind his starting words is that he was searching for why the assassin sect wanted to kill the children from the orphanage and the entire city. ''Thud'' With a shocked expression on his face, the old man fell to the ground. He didn''t breathe anymore after that. He never thought that some young man woulde to his store in this town and kill him with a single attack. But the saddest thing is that he was dying without knowing why he died. ''Roar'' After killing the old man from the assassin sect, Ajax heard a loud roar from the dragon. ''Twilight, it''s enough. There is no need to destroy the other stores.'' Ajax could guess what the destructive dragon what''s to do. So, he hurriedly ordered it to stop attacking the other stores. ''Return'' At the same time, Ajax tried to summon it back into his inner world; however, for some reason, Twilight was not returning as though he was dead set on destroying the stores belonging to the other two sects. ''Damn it...what happened to him?'' Ajax became anxious because it was the first time he could not summon it back into his inner world or his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Someone burned the ''Beast enraged incense''. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast is enraged, and he is following his bestial instincts. ''Ding, The effectsts for one hour. Except for the host, it will destroy everything thates in its way. Just as Ajax was bing anxious about the dragon, he received a series of system notifications, and he was shocked after learning the reason for Twilight''s odd behavior. ''Damn it...who burned that incense?'' Soon, his anxiousness turned into anger as he clenched his fists; however, he didn''t look for the person who burned the incense; instead, he thought about how to escape before the leading figures appeared here. ''Should I call Darbaudr?'' Since he can''t leave the dragon alone to the leaders of the Zrochester province, he thought of calling Darbaudr; however, he shook his head and decided not to call him. ''Instead of calling him, I can use my trump cards to waste some time before entering the five elemental world.'' Soon, Ajax calmed himself down and remembered the life-saving items in his hands. As long as he uses them properly, he could wait until the Beast''s enraged incense''s effect is over. Beast enraged incense is an item that can be used to make the spirit beasts in a specific radius awaken their bestial nature and go mad for some time. So, all Ajax can do now is let Twilight go rampage, and at the same time, he has to protect it from others. ''Roar'' With each passing second, the purple-colored dragon became enraged and destroyed every store in the market square. As for the casualty, almost everyone escaped to a safe distance when they first saw the dragon''s appearance. So, except for the shopkeepers of the assassin sect''s store, no one died. In one corner of the market square, ''I didn''t expect to encounter a pure-blooded dragon here.'' A masked man who wore ck robes had a ck-colored badge on his face. On that badge, there was an image of a blue coloured dragon. ''I burned the ''beast enraged incense'', informed the king and all the royal shadows. All I need to wait here for them toe here, and even if I don''t help in catching this dragon, I will be rewarded heavily just for informing.'' Looking at the enraged purple-colored dragon in the air, the masked man integrated into the shadows as he waited for the reinforcements. He has the weakest strength and cultivation; however, his speed is top-notch. So, when he saw a pure-blooded dragon in the air, he hurriedly burned the ''Beast enraged incense'' in order to stop others from killing it before the other royal shadows arrived. The ''Beast enraged incense'' not only angered the spirit beast but also made them temporarily stronger. So, the royal shadow in the corner of the market square didn''t worry much about others killing it before his reinforcements arrived. ''Since the vagrant cultivators are left to their secret realm, only Rulf is managing the mercenary guild. Moreover, I saw him leaving with Edmond and Udo to get an answer from the Hammergust family on their mission which contained a lot of wrong information.'' The royal shadow didn''t worry as he continued to watch the enraged dragon destroy everything that came in its way. The elite general realm cultivators from the top powers who were managing the stores for the top powers didn''t dare to fight Twilight for two main reasons. One, power-blooded dragons are very powerful even if their cultivations were low. Two, the dragon is currently in an enraged state, which made them not even think of fighting it. "Everyone, let''s fight the dragon together." All of a sudden, one of the elite general realm cultivators from the fire sword sect shouted. "Yes. Let''s fight it. The dragon is just a low-level rank 5 spirit beast. As long as we fight it together, even if he can''t kill, we can injure it." "Yes." "Just imagine the rewards we will get if we can kill it." "Yes. As long as we refine its blood into pills, our cultivation will progress at an incredible speed, and reaching the peak elite general realm is possible." "But¡­." "No more buts¡­.let''s fight it." Even though they were afraid of the dragon, they tried to ovee it with the help of the reward they would get if they could kill it. A pure-blooded dragon is filled with many resources. Dragon''s nails can be used to make the sharpest weapons. Dragon''s shells can be used to make shields or armors. Dragon''s bones and spikes can be used to make artifacts and hidden weapons, respectively. And the essential thing in the dragon''s body is its blood. As long as they use the blood with other ingredients, they could refine some good pills, increase the cultivation, and increase the cultivation speed. "Let''s fight." With a shout, all the elite general realm cultivators rushed towards the dragon at the same time. Everyone was careful. After all, they still didn''t trust others because they didn''t know when they would sneak an attack on them. ******** 1Fan_aticReader and Ralphmortonjr, thanks for gifting a BALLOON Thanks, everyone for your continuous support. Chapter 791: Summoning Cerauno in front of everyone

Chapter 791: Summoning Cerauno in front of everyone

"Everyone, attack at the same time." A cultivator from the fire sword sect who motivated everyone to attack the dragon shouted as loudly as possible. ''Fire sh'' ''Hundredfold fist'' ''Thunder strike'' . . . . There were more than 12 elite general realm cultivators who attacked the dragon at the same time. Everyone had a cultivation of level 2 or level 3 elite general realm. So, they thought as long as their attacksnded on the dragon, they could injure it. Moreover, they were careful enough to dodge the attacks of the dragon. They were like attacking a powerful skill and running away into the distance, making Twilight even more angry. ''Roar'' ''Calm down, Twilight.'' Ajax became angry at the actions of the elite general realm cultivators. Also, Twilight haspletely gone mad, and he was unable to think properly and destroyed everything; however, the elite general realm cultivators were dodging the attacks. ''Roar'' After a few rounds of elite general realm cultivators'' attack, Twilight was covered entirely in injuries. Even though it had thick shells and skills like hardened skin, they were of no use in front of thebined attacks of the elite general realm cultivators. ''Damn you.'' Finally, Ajax was sessfully enraged. ''Since you want to kill my spirit beast, I will do the same for you...Cerauno,e out.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax called out his lightning elemental spirits because, among all his elemental spirits, Cerauno is the strongest one. At the same time, using Ceranuo to fight the elite general realm cultivators, no one will rte it to Ajax. ''No need to restrain yourself on these cultivators. Just kill them all.'' Soon, lightning sparks appeared in front of Ajax as Cerauno came out of the inner world. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Receiving the order from Ajax, the lightning elemental spirit disappeared from his ce. ''Weapon creation'' Unlike other beings who were required to wait until they entered the King realm, Cerauno used a lightning sword to fly in the air. While hovering in the air, he used his basic skill and created ten weapons created from his lightning essence. ''Hey, look there.'' ''Isn''t that a lightning elemental spirit?'' ''Don''t tell me that young man is a summoner.'' ''The elemental spirit is in the elite general realm. We are not a match for it.'' ''Everyone, escape.'' In the Zrochester province, bing a summoner is already a great thing, but forming a contract with a lightning elemental spirit known for being aggressive in nature. After finding out the cultivation of the lightning elemental spirit, no one bothered about the dragon and hurriedly tried to escape. "Toote." As for Cerauno, he was not at all bothered about them escaping from his sight. ''Weapon enhancement.'' The ten weapons hovering in front of him doubled in size after using his other skill to upgrade the weapons he created earlier. ''Go'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, all the weapons rushed towards the running elite general realm cultivators. ''Puchi'' ''Aargh'' ''Damn it.'' ''Kacha'' The ten weapons like sword, spear, dagger, de, axe, halberd, etc., either pierced through them or hacked them into two pieces before disappearing into thin air. ''Phew...finally, I escaped from that monster.'' ''Looks like my brothers also escaped.'' Even after killing the ten elite general realm cultivators, there were still 3 or 4 cultivators who thought they had sessfully escaped from the lightning elemental spirit. However, what they didn''t know Cerauno was the one who left them alive for a reason. Those remaining elite general realms cultivators belonged to the fire sword sect because they motivated others to kill the dragon; however, they were careful from the start. ''Dragon breath'' ''Dragon tail'' Just as they were heaving a sigh of relief, the enraged dragon released a dragon breath and used his ''Dragon tail'' skill to kill thest few survivors. "Summoning master, it''s done." After killing the elite general realm cultivators, Cerauno appeared in front of Ajax. "Keep an eye on our surroundings." Ajax was not surprised by Cerauno''s battle prowess. So, he just nodded his head and asked him to keep an eye on the surroundings. ''I think Prophis can keep a good eye on the surroundings.'' Since Prophis is a space elemental spirit, he is very sensitive to his surroundings. So, Ajax decided to summon Prophis also. "Prophis,e out and keep an eye on the powerful cultivators in the surroundings." ''Swoosh'' Soon, Prophis appeared beside Cerauno and nodded his head to Ajaxx''s order. "Also, use your spatial maniption and make it impossible for anyone to teleport here but make sure we can teleport from here." Ajax thought about something and gave a few more orders to space elemental spirit. ''Done, summoning master.'' Before Ajax could finish his orders, Prophis replied to Aja with a calm look. Since he was too good at space from the time he was born and adding to the skill ''Spatial maniption'', it didn''t take much time to make the changes required in the space ording to Ajax''s orders. ''System, still how long does the incense''s effectst?'' Ajax nodded his head at Prophis and silently asked the system. ''Ding, Still 40 minutes¡­ ''Sigh...looks like I?have to fight the top leaders of the Zrochester province today.'' Ajax sighed as he clenched his fists and thought, ''All I need to do now is to stall for the time. As long as the incense''s effect is gone, I can summon Twilight and others into my inner world before entering the ''Five elemental world''.'' Even though the n didn''t go ording to the way he nned, Ajax thought the situation was still under his control. ''Except for the elemental spirits I summoned previously, I can summon all other spirits without any problem, and after escaping from here to five elemental world, I can still return from there, and my identity is still safe as no one can rte to the masked young man and me.'' Finally, Ajax decided to summon all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts if the cultivators from the top powers surrounded him. ''I hope I can stall the time for 40 minutes.'' Ajax silently prayed to the heavens to make the leading figures of the Zrochester province arrivete. Time continued to pass as the dragon continued to destroy everything. Once the lively mercenary guild''s market square is wholly destroyed, and Twilight looks at the living residences of the mercenaries and other ordinary people. Although everyone had already long escaped from their house, they still felt sad that their homes would be destroyed soon. ''Swoosh'' Ajax also sensed it, and he didn''t want the ordinary people to suffer because of him. So, he directly flew towards the houses and stood in front of the dragon. "You can''t destroy them." With a calm look on his face, Ajax said to the dragon. ''Is that kid out of his mind?'' This was the only thought in the minds of ordinary people. ''Roar'' The dragon roared at Ajax, and after taking a look at him, he changed direction and flew towards another town next to Goldcrest town. ''Woah...he diverted the dragon.'' ''Phew...our horse is safe.'' Soon, themon people heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the dragon didn''t destroy their houses. Chapter 792: Top Sects versus Great families (1)

Chapter 792: Top Sects versus Great families (1)

After the dragon turned towards another town, all themon people heaved a sigh of relief and thought, ''Come to think of it, the young man didn''t bother when his dragon destroyed the stores of the top power; however, he stopped it from attacking our homes.'' ''Yes. Even though the dragon waspletely enraged for some reason, he still stood in front of it and stopped it from destroying our homes.'' ''I think he had some feud with the top powers.'' ''He looks like a person who cares about the lives and beliefs ofmon people like us.'' ''Finally, other than vagrant cultivators, there is someone else who cares about themon people like us.'' Soon, the anger and fear towards Ajax had turned into respect. It is very rare for powerful cultivators to care about themon people like them. In the eyes of those cultivators, thesemon people were ants that could be crushed anytime they liked. Other than vagrant cultivators who were busy with their cultivation for many years now, none fought for them. So, they were excited to see another powerful cultivator who cares about them. Moreover, he is a summoner with a lightning elemental spirit and a dragon. "Huh?" As for Ajax, he frowned when he saw Twilight was flying towards another town. ''Wait for a second. Since it wants to destroy something, why don''t I destroy the properties of the top powers.'' Soon, Ajax thought about something and hurriedly jumped onto the back of the dragon while ordering his elemental spirits, ''Come, let''s go.'' ''Roar'' The residents of the town beside the Goldcrest were shivering when they heard a loud dragon roar and hurriedly looked into the sky. ''Phoo'' For Twilight, everything in his eyes seemed exactly the same. So, as soon as he saw some buildings in its view, it released the dragon breath. ''Prophis, spatial maniption.'' Ajax hurriedly ordered the space elemental spirit beside him to use the ''Spatial maniption''. ''Swoosh'' Before the dragon breath could reach the buildings in the town, some fluctuations appeared in the space, and the attack was dispersed evenly into space. Even though Ajax could stop Twilight from attacking the random buildings but standing in front, he was unsure how long it would work. Since there were many cases in the past where contracted spirit beasts killed masters because of the beast enragement incense, he didn''t want to take the risk multiple times when he had other ways to stop the attack. ''Phew...it worked.'' Seeing that the ''dragon breath'' was sessfully dispersed into space, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he even felt confident in guiding the dragon towards the stores belonging to the top powers of the Zrochester province. The dragon felt something was wrong with its attack; however, since it already flew past those buildings, it didn''t bother to turn around as it continued to attack the building in his sight. As for Prophis, he continued to disperse all types of attacks and waited until they reached the properties of the top powers. ''Prophis, you can rest for now.'' Ajax asked Prophis to do nothing for some time and allowed the dragon to destroy the stores. "Damn it...who dare to destroy my fire sword sect''s store?" "If you looking to die, then my assassin sect will dly do it for you." "Someone dares to mess with us, thebat king sect?" "Hammergust family" "Covenheart family" . . . . Soon, the managers or shopkeepers of those stores came out and shouted at Ajax and the dragon. Unlike the managers or shopkeepers of the Goldcrest stores, they didn''t wait for any reply as they directly rushed towards the dragon to kill it. They have higher cultivationspared to the previous shopkeepers. So, when they saw a low-level rank 5 pure-blooded dragon, they didn''t want to waste any time and tried to kill it. ''Cerauno, take care of them.'' Even though Prophis was still a level 1 elemental spirit general, he can kill them with his space type of skills, but it will take some time; however, he didn''t want to waste any time as he asked Cerauno to take care of them. ''Weapon creation'' ''Weapon enchantment'' ''Skill enhancement'' In a row, Cerauno used three of his skills which augmented one another, and soon more than 20 weapons appeared in front of him. With the help of the other two skills, the weapons became powerful and radiated with bright light. ''Go'' With a lowmand from Cerauno, all the weapons hovering in front of him moved towards the level 5 and level 6 elite general realm cultivators. Each weapon looked like it had a consciousness of its own, and at an incredible speed, they directly prated into the chests of those cultivators. Soon, the system notifications rang in Ajax''s head informing about the kills; however, he didn''t bother with them as he diverted the dragon to the next town using the same method he used earlier, which was using spatial maniption. However, the method didn''t work anymore. So, he decided to stand in front of the dragon diverting it to the next town by pointing his finger in a specific direction. ''Roar'' Clearly, the dragon was very angry; however, for some reason, he didn''t attack Ajax and flew towards the next town. ''Phew...it worked'' After seeing that, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief before thinking, ''However, it will not hesitate to kill me if I repeat the same thing.'' Ajax swore he would not stand in front of the dragon again when he wants to destroy something because the earlier roar sounded like a warning to him. ''Swoosh'' Just as the dragon flew out of its second town, some silhouettes rushed towards them and soon surrounded them. "It is really a pure-blooded dragon." "Yes. As long as I have its? blood, I will be the strongest cultivator under the King realm." "My fire sword sect will take care of this dragon. I hope no one interferes with us." "What? If the old sect leader is still present, we would have thought of not interfering; however, the current Fire sword sect is not a match for mybat sect." The neers were none other than the leaders and elders of the Fire sword sect and the Combat king sect. As for the assassin sect, the sect leader Gerg is too busy with many things, but still, he was hurriedly rushing towards the dragon. ''Looks like we don''t have any chance of getting the blood of the dragon.'' ''Damn it...why these sects act all high and mighty as though they own the Zrochester province.'' . . . The family heads of the five great families were frustrated at the suppression by the top sects. "I have any idea. Why don''t we start our n to overthrow the top three sects?" "Yes. It''s a good idea, but¡­.." "No need to say anything. We are joining our hands to kill the dragon along with the members of the top three sects." Soon, the family heads of the five great families decided to show their might to the sect. "As for the reward, Everyone will get an equal share of the dragon. So, don''t worry about the rewards." Holor Hammergust shouted, and with others, they surrounded the dragon while acting ignorant to the presence of the sect leaders and elders. ****** Gruppe_Alpha, thanks for the RING. Michael_Laughlin, thanks for the GRIMOIRE Chapter 793: Top sects versus Great families (2)

Chapter 793: Top sects versus Great families (2)

''Huh?'' The two sect leaders and the elders from the two sects raised their brows when they saw the family heads and their subordinates surround the dragon right in front of their eyes. Moreover, what irritated them was that the family heads from the five great families who used to be respectful of them acted ignorantly along with their subordinates. "Holor, what are you trying to do?" Ketrok, the sect leader of the fire sword sect, raised his eyebrows as he asked Holor, who acted as a leader for the five great families. "What are we doing? We are fighting for the cultivation resources." Holor was waiting for a long time to say those words; however, he could not tell them until now. ''Kacha'' After saying that, there was a broken sound in Holor spirit consciousness, and soon Holor''s cultivation pressure on the other family heads and subordinates increased. At the same time, everyone felt the gravity below their feet increased by multiple folds, making them. "Haha¡­finally, I learned the gravityw, and now I can finally prepare to form the soul to enter into the king realm." While everyone was feeling the difference in their surroundings, Holor startedughing from ear to ear as he intentionally shouted so that the sect leaders and sect elders could hear him. ''What?'' ''He fulfilled the second condition to enter the king realm?'' ''Now, he is almost equivalent to the sect leaders.'' ''Right! Our chances of overthrowing the sects'' suppression on the great families are increased with Holor''s sudden enlightenment in thew.'' The four family heads beside Holor were shocked at the start; however, it turned into excitement because their chances of overthrowing the sects increased a lot with Holor''s increase in his strength. ''They are trying to go against my sect?'' ''It''s a fool''s dream.'' ''So what if you learned aw rting to your elemental affinity? Our sect leaders long learned thews rting to their affinity elements.'' No one from the sects didn''t think much regarding Holor''s sudden breakthrough; however, they didn''t see the great families going against their sects. "Since you want topete against the sects, let''s do this some other time. We are not in the mood to y games with you." Sect leader Ketrok didn''t want to waste time and wanted to kill the dragon to increase his strength. "Looks like you got scared. No wonder, after you became the sect leader of the fire sword sect, it started declining." After learning the ''Gravity''w, Holor became even more arrogant than before as he mocked Ketrok. ''Did you hear that?'' ''He is saying our sect leader is scared. I think Holor is tired of living.'' Hearing Holor''s words, the cultivators from the sects'' side whispered among themselves. Because Ketrok is known for being short-tempered, he takes even a small sign of disrespect to his heart and returns it a hundredfold. Earlier, when Holoar ignored them and didn''t show respect for them, he controlled his anger because of the dragon. However, who would have thought Holor would be bold enough to continue to irritate him. "Cultivators from the great families except for Hammergust family, just leave from here; otherwise, your families will be erased from the Zrochester province along with the Hammergust family." Ketrok, for the first time, released his cultivation pressure in front of everyone. No one survived after having a feud with him except for Edmond. At that time, Edmond was just an elitemander realm cultivator, and because of the previous sect leader making him swear on his dantian, he didn''t go after Edmond. So, he gave onest chance to the family heads of the remaining four families. "That''s right! As long as you leave from here, thebat king sect will not pursue today''s matter any longer." Soon, one of the old men from thebat king sect gave a simr option to sect leader Ketrok. When they heard Ketrok''s words, they didn''t think much, but they started hesitating after hearing the old man''s words. "Everyone, no need to worry about them. Today is the day where we, the five great families, are going to rece the top three sects." Soon, Holor shouted as loudly as possible because,pared to the other four families, his family was already too deep into the mud. So, except for walking forward, there is no return now. So, he tempted them with the aftermath of their battle. As long as they win against the sects, they can enjoy true power. Except for the royal family, no one can order them around. Even the royal family will show respect to them. ''...'' However, the family heads were still hesitating because they still had the chance to return; at the same time, they didn''t want to return and wanted to fight the sects. "Abyss devil king, stop hiding and give us the support. After we be the top five families, you will naturally get what you want." Seeing that the outer four family heads were still hesitating, Holor cursed them in his heart; however, he thought of an idea and shouted once again. This time, he was calling for help from the abyss devil king. ''Do you dare to swear that on the heavens?'' However, the abyss devil king was not a fool toe right after hearing those words; instead, he transmitted the words through voice transmission. "I, Holor, swear on my dantian in the presence of the heavens that I will try my best to get the items required by the abyss devil king." As soon as he heard the abyss devil king''s words in his head, Holor didn''t hesitate to swear on his dantian to make the abyss devil king believe him. ''What?'' ''The abyss devil king is here?'' ''If he is with us, we can fight the sect without any fear.'' Hearing Holor words and swearing on his dantian, all the family heads stopped hesitating and decided to fight the sects. "Haha...let''s see how powerful the so-called sects are." Soon, a huge portal opened, and the abyss devil king and his devil army walked out the huge portal. "So, you decided to take the help of a lowly devil to fight us¡­.Good." Ketrok became enraged with all the family heads of the great families andughed with an angry look on his face. "What do you say?" After saying that, Ketrok looked at the five old men who are the leaders of thebat king sect and asked them. "Since they want to fight, why don''t we show them their ce?" One of the old men said with a scoff as he looked at the devil armying out of the huge portal. As for the dragon, they didn''t worry that the dragon would escape because the sect leaders used some high-level artifacts to seal the space around them. But the dragon didn''t bother anyone as it continued to destroy every tree and boulder in its way because they were already out of the town and didn''t have any buildings to destroy. ''Good...looks like I am about to watch a good show. I hope it continues for another 30 minutes.'' Ajax looked at the cultivators from sects and the great families who were arguing from the back of the dragon. Soon, the argument ascended to a real fight. ******** MagnusChase2020, thank you for the POTION. Chapter 794: Killed in a single attack?

Chapter 794: Killed in a single attack?

"Ember domain" "Unity state" Without wasting any time, the sect leader Ketrok used hisw along with the five old men. As soon as they used theirws, the 10-meter radius around them changed. The fire sparks surrounded Ketrok, and there was a hint of red colour around him. As for the five old men, they stood in a row with different fighting stances, and the most important thing is their bodies had white-coloured halos, making them look like celestial beings. "So, we are starting the fights with ourws." There was no fear in the abyss devil king''s as he startedughing while saying, "Nice. Let''s see whosew is more powerful." "Ten thousand devils'' wrath." As soon as he finished his sentence, the abyss devil king shouted and activated hisw. Soon, the ten thousand devils in front of him started growing from their usual three-meter height to five-meter. They looked much more powerful than before, and the spears and des in their hands also received a boost from the abyss devil king''sw. "Gravity field" Holor Hammergust also didn''t waste any time as he directly activated hisw. Suddenly, the 100 meters radius around Holor had ten times more gravity. Moreover, he could freely choose whom he wanted to affect or not to affect with gravity. So, he chose to free his allies from his gravity, and other than them, whoever enters into his gravity field will feel ten times gravity. "Everyone, attack." Soon, the abyss devil king gave the order to his army to attack the cultivators from the sects. Other than the sect leaders, elders and a few more powerful cultivators rushed along with the sect leaders. Soon, they started fighting the ten thousand abyss devil whose battle prowess was boosted by the abyss devil king''sw. "Just because you learn aw, that doesn''t give you the right to be arrogant." Compared to the abyss devil king, Ketrok was very angry with Holor, and he rushed towards him at an incredible speed. Even though there was ten times the gravity, Ketrok''s speed was still very high, and without less than a minute, he appeared in front of Holor. "Die" With a loud shout, Ketrok shed his heavy sword, which waspletely covered in embers. "You are too slow, Ketrok." For the whole time, Holor intentionally didn''t move and waited for Ketrok to attack him. Just when the heavy sword was about to pierce through Holor, the abyss devil king appeared behind Ketrok. ''Damn it¡­.Ember.'' Ketrok didn''t have much time to dodge the abyss devil king''s attack. SO, without any hesitation, he used hisw''s special skill ''Ember''. After learning a specificw, there will be one unique skill rted to thatw. As for the temporary increase in battle, prowess ismon for everyw. However, there are somews that increase the battle prowess of the cultivator by two or three timespared to the other cultivators with aw. For example, if Ketrok has an increment of 1.5 times of his original battle prowess after activating his level 1w, Cerauno''s level 1 thunderw will increase his battle prowess by three times; however, it will consume double the essence of naturepared to normalws. As long as he has enough essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, he can maintain that state for much longer. Note:- Cerauno just awakened his ''Thunderw'', and it will take some time before he awakens his special skill rting to thatw. "Boom" As soon as Ketrok used his special skill, a huge explosion sted the abyss devil king and Holor. He himself has sted away more than a few meters. "Cough" "Whoever shows disrespect to me will die." Ketrok stood up from the ground while coughing the blood, and he replied, looking at the bodies of Holor and the abyss devil king. There was some movement from the abyss devil king, but there was no movement from Holor. ''That''s right!'' Holor was killed in a single attack from Ketrok. It is the power of the special skill of Ketrok''sw. ''What?'' ''Holor is no more.'' ''What will happen to us?'' ''Isn''t Holor learned aw? How can he die in a single attack?'' ''What should we do now?'' ''The old men from thebat king sect are yet to enter the fight.'' ''Ketrok is in apletely different league. We can''t go against such a behemoth in this life.'' The remaining four family heads who were fighting the elders of the sects were shocked when they heard the explosion and saw that Holor was not moving at all. Soon, the family heads started worrying about their lives. Since the strongest one among the great families was killed and another strong ally was severely injured. They knew that they were in great danger. ''Putong'' "Sect leader Ketrok, please spare me. I was not wrong." Soon, Foreglow''s family head Bran fell to his knees and kowtowed to the Ketrok. "Please spare my Dusthorn family." "We failed to recognize the strength of the sects. Please forgive me and my Coven heart family." "Sect leader Ketrok, my Terratide family is willing to be a subordinate to your sect." As soon as Bran fell to his knees, the rest of the family heads knew that they couldn''t survive this ordeal. Until now, they thought that since the sect leaders of the top sects have learned thews and as long as they learned thews, they could go against them. Moreover, they were even nning to attack sects'' bases backed by some guardians and a barrier. So, when they thought about their previous ns, they felt like a small group of ants trying to kill a dinosaur. "Haha...you are finally behaving." When the sect leader Ketrok saw the four family heads along with the elders of their families fall to their knees and ask for their forgiveness, he could not help butugh out loud. "But, it''s toote now. You were way too arrogant just a few moments ago." Ketrok tossed a few healing pills and essence pills to increase his essence of nature and walked toward the family heads with an evil look on his face. Among all the family heads, Cohan, the family head of the Terratide, thought Ketrok would let him live because he was willing to be a subordinate family to the fire sword sect. But, who would have thought that Ketrok was so angry with them that he was not willing to take him as his subordinate? "Damn it...I should not have listened to Holor." Everyone scolded Holor for being impulsive with the sects, but they still didn''t agree as it was them who was too greedy and joined him to fight against the sects. As for the ten thousand devils, they were all killed by the five old men, the leaders of thebat king sect, and other elders. "You wanted to get more cultivation resources with such lousy strength? You would be killed by the powerful cultivators even if you managed to get them." By the time he finished his words, Ketrok already reached one of the family heads as he lifted his sword. ********** The_EvilerSun, thanks for the POTION Sam_Chilton, thanks for the GRIMOIRE Gruppe_Alpha, thanks for the LOLLIPOP Bvje, thanks for the BALLOON Chapter 795: Arrival of the royal family

Chapter 795: Arrival of the royal family

# Win-win special chapter. Even though Ketrok walked very slowly to reach them, no one dared to escape from there because they knew it was impossible to escape. "Now, you can go and meet your friend Holor in the otherworld." After saying that, Ketrok lifted his sword to kill Cohan. "Sect leader Ketrok, if you want to kill me, then kill me, but I beg you not to harm my family." Cohan closed his eyes as he begged the sect leader Ketrok to let his family live. "Those who want to rebel against my sect or any other sects, I will destroy everyone and everything rted to them." Ketrok intentionally said those words for the five old men to hear because to overthrow the royal family, they need to be united, and only then can they be the rulers of the Zrochester province. Just like the five great families, who wanted to always destroy the sects, the sects wished to destroy the royal family. However, they were not fools like the family heads of the great families because they need to reach at least level 8 in theirws to go against the royal family. Only then, there were some chances of destroying the royal family. However, they had long decided to wait until the day where the leaders of the top three sects reach level 10 in theirws. "Ketrok, can you let them leave on my behalf?" Just when the heavy fire sword was about to sh through Cohan, a majestic voice appeared from a distance, and soon, Stephen draton, along with his old ministers, appeared in their sights. "Your majesty, but¡­." Ketrok became enraged with the appearance of Stephen; however, he knew he was not a match for the old man beside Stephen. "Don''t worry. I will make thempensate you with something good." Stephen didn''t wait for Ketrok to finish his words as he replied to him. In the next moment, he walked towards the family heads and asked, "Are you willing topensate the fire sword sect and thebat king sect?" Since the assassin sect''s cultivators are yet to arrive, Stephen directly ignored them and asked the family heads about thepensation to the two sects present behind him. "We willpensate the two sects, your majesty." Soon, everyone saw some hope with the royal family''s appearance, and after hearing Stephen''s words, they were even more confident in surviving their current premonition. So, they didn''t hesitate topensate the two sects. "Good. Since there are four families here, everyone should leave one spirit stone mine, and those four low-level spirit stone mines will be equally shared between the two sects." Stephen didn''t wait for the family heads to say what they were willing topensate; instead, he directly asked them to leave the rights of their single spirit stone mine. ''Th..this¡­.'' "What? Do you want to get killed in his hands?" Stephen frowned when he saw the family heads were hesitant and asked with a scoff. "No, no¡­.your majesty. We are willing to give our spirit stone mine." Once they imagined Kestrok killing them in their heads, they didn''t hesitate any more and hurriedly nodded their heads. "That''s it then. What do you say?" Stephen draton looked at the sect leader Ketrok and the five old men from the Combat king sect and asked with a slight smile on his face as though he had done a great help for the sects. "We have no problem." Thebat king sect had no problem as the five old men instantly agreed because, in the Zrochester province, there were very few spirit stone mines. So, if they were getting two spirit stone mines, why would they reject it? However, Ketrok cursed the royal family because he wanted to kill these familiespared to getting the spirit stone mines. So that, in the future, they don''t have to bother about them. "As you say, your majesty." However, he can''t openly go against the royal family because his fire sword sect is not powerful enough to go against the royal family. So, he agreed to take the spirit stone mines. "Good. Now, the great families can go back." Soon, Stephen nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face because everything went ording to his n. ''As long as the great families live, the sects have to be wary regarding them. When someone is greatly surprised by something, he will try everything in his power to remove the suppression.'' Looking at the leaving family heads along with their family elders, Stephen continued to think in his heart, ''Once, I spread today''s events, then let''s see the family heads will continue to bow their heads to the sects.'' "Old minister, take care of the abyss devil king." Next, Stephen looked at the abyss devil king, who waspletely covered in the ck blood, and ordered the old man beside him to take care of the devil king. "Yes, your majesty." Soon, the old man took the abyss devil king and disappeared into the distance. "Now, let''s kill the dragon." Since the battle between the top sects and the great families came to an end, Stephen looked at the dragon in the distance, which was attacking the barrier that was stopping it from entering the next town. "Looks like I amte." Suddenly, a few ck silhouettes appeared, and the leader of those silhouettes said with a slight smile on his face. "Looks like the sect leader Gerg is not interested in the dragon blood." Seeing the sect leader Gerg, Ketrok scoffed with azy expression on his face. "..." Sect leader Gerg didn''t say anything as he remained silent. "Sect leader Ketrok, there is no need to mock sect leader Gerg. Lately, he has many things to take care of. So, let''s not say anything." Stephen knew there were some problems with the assassin sect. So, he acted magnanimously towards the assassin sect. ''Hmph'' Ketrok harrumphed and looked at the dragon. "This time, I will allow you to have some share in the dragon''s dead body. The royal family will take 70 percent, and you three sects can have 10 percent each." Once again, Stephen acted as though he was the most generous king in history while saying those words. ''Damn this, Stephen.'' ''At least, the old king was better than him. He would have given 20 percent for each sect.'' ''Just wait. The day I increase myw to level 10, that is the day your royal family ceases to exist.'' The leader of the three sects silently thought in their heads and waited for the day they overthrow the current royal family to be the true powers of the Zrochester province. The thing is, the royal family suppresses the three sects. Because of that frustration, the three sects vent their anger and all other emotions on the five great families. As for the five great families, they would bully the random no-name cultivators and normal people. It''s a chain that never ends. ''So, these are the top powers of the Zrochester province. They only care about themselves, and if someonees in their way, they will kill them no matter how much they beg.'' Ajax was observing everything from the start and scoffed at the top powers of the Zrochester province. Chapter 796: Summoning everyone from the inner world

Chapter 796: Summoning everyone from the inner world

"Since no one has any problem with the percentages of the dragon''s body, you can now kill the dragon." Finally, Stephen draton gave the call for the sects to attack the dragon, whereas the royal family will standby and watch. ''This bastard...I am going to kill him with my own hands.'' Ketrok swore in this head as he looked at the elders of his sects and ordered them, "What are you waiting for? Go and kill it." Nevertheless, he didn''t dare to retort. In this world, as long as one has enough strength, no one will dare to say anything to them. "You also go and assist the cultivators from the Fire sword sect." The five old men from the Combat king sect and the sect leader Gerg of the assassin sect ordered the cultivators from their sects while cursing the royal family in their hearts. The royal family is doing nothing, but still, it gets the highest percentage of the dragon body. So, of course, they will curse the royal family for its actions. ''Everyone, let''s kill it along with the lightning elemental spirit.'' Soon, the 38 powerful cultivators from the three sects rushed towards the dragon, mindlessly trying to break the barrier. Twelve cultivators from the fire sword sect, sixteen cultivators from thebat king sect, and ten cultivators from the assassin sect. Among these 38 powerful cultivators, the least powerful one had a cultivation of the level 8 elite general realm, and the strongest one had a cultivation of level 10 elite general realm. Moreover, they didn''t forget about the lightning elemental spirit; however, no cultivator from the top three sects has any affinity with the lightning element. So, even if they kill Cerauno to get the elemental spirit stone from him, it will not be of much use for them. So, they didn''t bother about it. ''System, how much time is left for Twilight to be normal?'' As for Ajax, he was not worried but because it''s been a long time since the dragon turned insane. So, he thought, as long as he wastes some time with the bunch of clowns rushing towards him, he could escape from here. ''Ding, The effects will disappear in five minutes. ''Ding, Also, no barrier is stopping us from escaping from this world. Soon, Ajax got two system notifications that made him reveal a huge smile. ''Since I can leave this world without any trouble, I can y with the sects for some time.'' Soon, Ajax decided to y with him. "Volcanis, Bane, time to fight." Ajax was waiting for this moment for a long time now. Since his identity is hidden, and as long as he didn''t summon Necros and it, no one will think that the masked man was Ajax. As soon as he said that, two elemental spirits appeared beside him. One elemental spirit looked powerful with shining golden armor on his body, a golden crown on his head, along a heavy sword in his hands. As for the other elemental spirit, it was light green in colour. Unlike the red-coloured elemental spirit, this elemental spirit looked weak. The most important thing is a five coloured orb hovering around that elemental spirit. What? He had another auxiliary elemental spirit and regr elemental spirit which looked very powerful?'' ''Lightning, space, poison, and fire. This young man is definitely not from this world.'' ''Why will someone from a greater world enter a regr world?'' King Stephen, the sect leaders, and the other powerful cultivators of the sects were shocked to see the young man on the dragon''s back was a summoner of multiple elemental spirits. So, they directly assumed the masked young man was from a greater world. ''This is not over yet.'' ''All the elemental spirits,e out.'' Ajax thought of summoning only the elite general realm elemental spirits; however, for some reason, he thought of summoning all the elemental spirits. Almost all the elemental spirits in his inner world have reached a minimum of elemental spirit in the general realm except for three elemental spirits. Each elemental spirit has some good skills. So, Ajax wanted to use them and wanted to go all out against the top powers of the Zrochester province. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, one after another, elemental spirits with different elements continued to appear on the back of the dragon. Since the dragon was so huge, there was enough space for everyone. Except for Necros, it, and Spirus, he summoned all the elemental spirits. ''What? How many elemental spirits does he have?'' ''Moreover, half of them are auxiliary elemental spirits.'' ''If we can recruit him into my sect, it will be a great thing, but with the presence of the royal family, it is impossible to get him to join any sect.'' Looking at the coloured elemental spirits on the back of the dragon, everyone got shocked thoroughly, and they didn''t move from their ce as they continued to look at the elemental spirits that were appearing without an end. ''Master, did you see that? What should I do?'' As for Stephen, he felt the masked young man in front of him was not to be trifled with. From the number of elemental spirits he summoned so far, he thought the masked young man belonged to a greater world, and as long as he didn''t mess things up, his family would get a lot of benefits. So, he hurriedly contacted his master and started discussing how to proceed with the masked young man in front of him. ''After seeing this many spirits, they will definitely think that I came from the summoner greater world.'' Looking at his army of the elemental spirits, Ajax revealed a slight smile, and all of a sudden, he thought of something. ''Should I summon my spirit beasts also? Since all the elemental spirits areing out, it will not be fair for not summoning my contracted spirit beasts.'' With that thought in his mind, he didn''t hesitate to call his contracted spirit beasts, "Everyone,e out and show what you are made up of." Once again, there were a few shes as some figures appeared on the ground. This time, he summoned his spirit beasts on the ground, fearing that the dragon could not hold everyone on his back. On the ground, a humanoid bear with a small young boy in his arm, a sea Tauren, a small three-eyed ck-coloured fox, appeared. The humanoid bear had a level 5 general realm strength, and the ck fox has low-level rank 5 strength. Surprisingly, even the small young boy in the arms of the humanoid bear had the strength of the general realm. ''No one should attack him first. Just wait until I give the signal.'' Looking at the additional summons of the masked young man, Ketrok, the five old men and Gerg ordered the cultivators from their sects not to attack him until they give some signal to them. ''Yes, sect leader.'' How can they not guess what their sect leaders'' intentions were? They didn''t want to mess with someone who can summon more than 15 elemental spirits in a row along with some powerful spirit beasts. So, the powerful cultivators from the sects nodded their heads. ************ Gruppe_Alpha, thanks for the POTION Dwight_Slywks, thanks for the?

Chapter 797: Combined strength of elemental spirits

If the masked young man was really from a greater world, then it is their opportunity. As long as they help him a little, he might share some good cultivation techniques, pill forms, and other items. However, at the same time, the darker side of the leading figures of the Zrochester province thought to kill the masked young man so that they can get all the items in his space ring. Moreover, no powerful being from other worlds can''t enter this world as long as protector Olek is guarding the world. However, what they don''t know ispared to the powerful cultivators from the greater worlds, protector Olek is nothing. Even protector Olek was searching for a sessor to live for a greater world. This shows how powerful the cultivators from the greater world will be. "Everyone, don''t waste any time and kill as many cultivators as possible." Finally, Ajax shouted at his summons to attack the powerful cultivators who were on the ground. ''Cerauno, don''t use yourw and the new skill ''Lightning realm'' until I say.'' ''Prophis try to sneak attack on the weakest cultivators from the group.'' ''Volcanis, Bane, you help Blood to get three blood ves.'' "All level 1 general realm elemental spirits, just stay with me and support the elite general realm elemental spirits." After giving the attackmand to his summons, Ajax hurriedly transmitted some moremands to his elite general realm. That''s right! Other than Cerauno, Volcanis and Bane broke through into the elemental elite spirit general realm without any help from the ''Tree of blessing''. "What?" "He wants to kill our cultivators?" "What are you waiting for? Just go and kill them." "We can get the elemental spirit stones after killing those elemental spirits." "Yes, sect leader." Soon, the surrounding cultivators also rushed towards the iing elemental spirits with serious looks on their faces. As for the sect leaders and Stephen draton, they didn''t rush to help them because they have enough confidence that the powerful cultivators from the sects will easily win against a bunch of low-level elemental spirits. That''s right! They felt all the elemental spirits are not too powerful, judging by their cultivation. Except for the three elemental spirits, which were level 1 elite general realm, almost all elemental spirits were just level 1 elemental spirit generals. Moreover, the 38 powerful cultivators from the three sects had minimum cultivation of the level 8 elite general realm and a maximum of level 10 elite general realm. So, they felt there was no need to rush to kill the masked young man. Moreover, the space around them waspletely sealed. "Fire asteroids" Volcanic used his powerful area of effect skill and rushed towards the powerful cultivators. "Five elemental poison" "Poison scythe" "Poison domain" "Green snake" Unlike Volcanis, who used only a single skill before rushing towards the enemies, Bane used all his skills. ''Time halt.'' As for Halo, who was currently an elemental spirit general, he used his powerful skill, which can stop time for 10 seconds. However, Halo can select who should be paused and who should be moved. All of a sudden, all the powerful cultivators were frozen and instantly killed by Volcanis, Cerauno, Bane, and Prophis. These four elemental spirits have the strongest attacking powers and powerful skills. So, when the enemies were frozen, they didn''t hesitate to use their powerful skills to kill the cultivators from the sects. After the time was frozen, all the elemental spirits used their powerful skills or skills that could help other elemental spirits who had strong attacking powers. ''Beast summoning'' ''Complete beast transformation'' Nite summoned three beasts that looked like him before turning into a huge beast and started killing the frozen enemies. ''Blood clones'' ''Blood ve'' As for the blood elemental spirit, he wanted to increase his strength to catch up to Cerauno. So, he didn''t hide any of his skills as he used them back to back without any hesitation. First, he summoned four blood clones. Next, he chose a level 10 elite general realm cultivator who was on hisst breath and turned him into his blood ve. ''Level decreased to level 1 elite general?'' Blood was a little dissatisfied with the decrease in his blood ve''s cultivation, but he was not worried much. ''Blood control'' ''Blood refining'' Soon, he used his other skills to control the blood in the enemies'' bodies before refining them to increase his strength. For him, there was no difference between the living or dead powerful cultivators. As long as the enemy had blood in him, he would refine it to increase his strength. ''Ice sculpture'' ''Ice maniption'' ''Diamond fortress'' ''Poison flower'' ''Life-sucking flower.'' ''Poison mist'' ''Meteor rush'' . . . The other elemental spirits also didn''t sit idle as they used the skills required for the current situation that can weaken the enemies'' defenses. ''Necromaner'' ''Magical dark vines.'' Among all the elemental spirits, Dabrus'' method of killing the powerful cultivators was the coolest one. Using his ''Necromancer'' skill, Dabrus brought the dead cultivators back to life at the same time; he summoned many dark green-colored vines to suck the life energy from the living cultivators. However, he didn''t order these undead cultivators to kill the living cultivators; instead, he ordered them to fight each other. ''Damage transfer.'' Just when his undead cultivators were about to be destroyed, he would use the ''Damage transfer'' to transfer all the damage taken by his undead cultivator to living cultivators, making them weaker so that the other elemental spirits could kill them without much difficulty. Even though the powerful cultivators were frozen, they were still level 8, level 9, and level 10 elite general realm cultivators. So, Dabrus method of killing helped a lot for other elemental spirits and his magical dark vines. ''What?'' ''Is that time elemental spirit?'' ''It is the signature skill for the time elemental spirits to stop time.'' ''Even my senses were dimmed a little for a second.'' ''We should not let him grow.'' Soon, the sect leaders of the three sects were afraid of Ajax''s elemental spirit. Currently, the masked young man only has the cultivation of level 2 general realm but, with the help of different elemental spirits, he could kill a level 10 elite general realm cultivator within a few seconds. ''Holy heavens.'' Even Ajax was shocked when he saw how powerful his elemental spirits were and soon became excited. In just a few seconds, his elemental spirits killed all the 38 powerful cultivators from the sects whose strengths ranged from level 8 to level 10 elite general realm. ''Maybe I should bring all my elemental spirits out of the inner world more often. Also, I am yet to use my bloodline. What happens if I use my bloodline now?'' Soon, Ajax''s shock turned into excitement as he looked at the sect leader and King Stephen in the distance. When Ajax thought of his bloodline, his heart started beating anxiously as he wanted to find out what will happen when he uses it. ''Let''s see what you are going to do now.'' Since there are still a couple of minutes, he thought of using his bloodline before leaving this world. ********* I was a little busy with some work for the past two days.

Chapter 798: Divine dragon blessing

"I think he is more powerful than we thought. You seven attack him at once. If he leaves this world, then it will be trouble for protector Olek." Seeing that the masked young man was much more powerful than they thought, King Stephen asked all the sect leaders to attack Ajax and his army at once. ''This idiot.'' They were already enraged when they saw the elders and powerful cultivators from their sects were killed by Ajax''s elemental spirits and spirit beasts. So, when they heard the domineering words of King Stephen, they became even more enraged. ''Since I can''t show my anger on this bastard, I will vent it out on that little bastard''s elemental spirits.'' If someone is angry at some powerful being, the best way to vent that anger out of them is on someone weaker than them. So, all the sect leaders looked at the masked young man on the dragon''s back, their eyes bing red with anger. "By the way, don''t waste time and directly use yourws." Just when they were about to rush towards Ajax to kill him, all the sect leaders heard King Stephen''s words once again. Even though they didn''t like to take orders from King Stephen, they felt it was better to finish the fight as soon as possible because they could never guess what the young man could bring out of his space ring. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ketrok, the five old men, and Gerg rushed towards Ajax and surrounded him along with his elemental spirits. ''Ember domain'' ''Unityw'' ''Shadow realm.'' A 10-meter ember domain surrounded Ketrok. The five old men were shining with halos and looked like celestial beings. As for Gerg''sw, Ajax sensed that a thinyer of darkness entirely surrounded him and his elemental spirits. Also, the most important thing was there was no sign of sect leader Gerg. He was disappeared entirely into the shadows. ''Is this sect leader Gerg''sw? Nice.'' Even though Ajax knew he was in someone else''sw, he was not afraid because just before the shadow realm covered him, he got a series of system notifications. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast hase back to its senses. ''Ding, The host can now send it back into the inner world or his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, The host can use the portal to the five elemental world anytime now. ''Since I can leave anytime, I will see whether my elemental spirits are a match for them.'' For thest few months, Ajax wanted to see how strong his elemental spirits should be to defeat the sect leaders of the top sects in the Zrochester province. So, he tried to use the powerful attacks of his elemental spirits to get a rough idea of how strong the sect leaders are and how much longer he needed to wait until he destroyed the assassin sect and get some answers from them. ''Ding, Mission ''Dragon''s Might'' ispleted. ''Ding, Increasing the twilight dragon''s strength from low-level rank 5 to high-level rank 5. ''Ding, The dragon met the hidden requirements to evolve. The evolution will only take a few moments. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s dragon for sessfully evolving into a Divine destructive twilight dragon. ''Ding, One of the dragon''s skills, ''Dragon blessing'' is upgraded to ''Divine dragon blessing''. There are changes to other skills, along with a couple of newly awakened skills. Just when he was about to order his elemental spirits to attack the sect leaders with their powerful skills, Ajax once again received a series of system notifications making him a little surprised. ''I will check about the dragon and its skills after I enter the five elemental spirit world.'' However, Ajax had much more important things to do right now. So, he didn''t bother to check the dragon''s skills. "Everyone, form into a circle." The first thing Ajax did after Twilight came to his sense was tond it and asked all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to form a circle around him. "Everyone with barrier skills, cast your barriers." "Whoever has ''enhancing'' skills, use them to increase the power of your skill." "Also, those with the strongest attacks, don''t hold back your power." "As for me, ''Abysall beast god bloodline'' activate." Ajax started giving orders to his elemental spirits and at the same time used his bloodline, which can increase the battle prowess of his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts by a factor of three. Everything happened in less than a minute as Ajax prepared himself for any type of attacks from the sect leader of the top sects. He was surrounded by so many elemental spirits and spirit beasts. Around them, there were a couple of barriers of various colours, and the most significant thing was a shining fortress on the metal-type elemental spirit. ''What?'' As for the sect leaders, just when they were about to attack Ajax, they were shocked by the sudden glowing light on the dragon, and before they could recover from it, Ajax finished his n. However, when they saw the sudden increase in the power of the elemental spirits and contract spirit beasts, they were once again shocked by it. ''Damn it...let''s kill him before he could use any more weird skills.'' Soon, they silently transmitted their voices to one another and decided to finish Ajax before he could use another trump card. Since Ketrok was a fire elemental cultivator, he rushed towards Volcanis, a fire-type elemental spirit. Bane and Prophis were taking care of the five old men from thebat king sect. The sect leader Gerg wanted to kill a couple of weak elemental spirits first; however, the lightning elemental spirit blocked him from harming any weaker elemental spirits. "I am your opponent." Even though the sect leader Gerg was disappearing and appeared from time to time in his shadow realmw that covered a 100-meter radius around him. As for the other elemental spirits, they were supporting the stronger elemental spirits from time to time. ''Huh? There was no effect of Halo''s ''Time halt'' on them?'' Ajax got to a sudden revtion that his time, the elemental spirit, could not stop the sect leaders even for a second. ''Looks like Halo needs to breakthrough into the elemental elite spirit general realm to be able to stop them for a few seconds.'' Since the effects of the skill didn''t affect the powerful cultivators, Ajax thought Halo needed to increase his strength. Even then, he can''tpletely stop the peak level 10 elite general realm cultivators who learned elemental affinityws for 10 seconds. At max, three seconds or four seconds, and Ajax didn''t worry about the time. As long as he could stop those cultivators for even a second, Ajax thought he could kill them with the help of his elemental spirit army. ''They are too weak.'' Soon, Ajax noticed that even though their elemental spirits could kill the level 10 elite general realm cultivators from the previous batch, they were at aplete disadvantage against the sect leaders. The elemental spirits were not even able to fight back against them. "Okay." Ajax finally understood something and ordered Cerauno, "Use your ''Thunder''w." ****** Author''s question:-? Your favourite elemental spirit. Chapter 799: Lightning Law Stone

Chapter 799: Lightning Law Stone

"Cerauno, use your ''Thunder''w." Ajax didn''t use voice transmission; instead, he intentionally shouted out loud. ''What? Is he joking?'' ''How can a level 1 elemental elite spirit general learn aw?'' ''Everyone, don''t get fooled by his words. Just kill him and get his things.'' When they heard Ajax''s words, they paused their fights for a moment to look at the lightning elemental spirit. Of course, no one believed his words and resumed their fights. ''Kboom'' Suddenly, there was a loud thunder sound that made everyone shudder for a moment. ''What? His elemental spirit really learned aw?'' All the sect leaders were also shocked when they saw Cerauno was covered entirely with lightning sparks, and from time to time, thunder resounded in the sky above his head. "Even if he learned aw, it must be a level 1w. As long as we kill him, we can get the ''Law stone''." ''Yes. Even though we can''t use it, it will be used in formations.'' ''Let''s go all out.'' Soon, their fears were reced by greedy looks when they looked at Cerauno. Law stones. When a cultivator or an elemental spirit learns anyw, a small stone in their affinity elemental colour will appear in their spirit consciousness. When they die, the stone will remain in their body, and it will not disappear until someone uses all the ''Law energy'' in the stone. A ''Law stone'' can be used to bring out the ''Law skill'' with the help of the formation, or a cultivator can use it with the same elemental affinity of that stone to gainprehension into that ''Law''. ''Swoosh'' Everyone rushed towards the lightning elemental spirit; however, they were blocked by the other powerful elemental spirits. So, only sect leader Gerg had the chance to fight Cerauno. Actually, this was what Ajax wanted. He wanted to see how powerful the current Cerauno was against a single sect leader. ''Lightning realm'' As soon as he used the ''Thunder''w, Cerauno looked even more confident in fighting against the sect leader Gerg, and since his cultivation is low, he didn''t hesitate to use his newest yet powerful skill. Soon, the 10-meter radius around? Cerauno was covered entirely in shes of lightning, and also, the shadow realm covering him earlier disappeared in that 10-meter radius. Lightning is a natural nemesis of darkness. So, even though the thunderw is just at level 1, it dominated level 5 shadow realmw. If Cerauno''sw was level 2 or level 3, the radius of the thunderw would be increased by 20 or 30 meters. ''It''s child y.'' As for the sect leader Gerg, there was still no fear in him as he disappeared from his position and appeared 10 meters away from Cerauno. ''Swoosh'' Afterward, he once again disappeared and appeared in front of Cerauno with an evil smile on his face. "I will take yourw stone." ''Puchi'' After saying that, a pitch ck-colored dagger that released ck smoke from it appeared in Gerg''s hands and prated into Cerauno''s chest. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' The sect leader Gerg didn''t want to take any risks and stabbed Cerauno a few more times, making Cerauno fall to the ground. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' Just when he was about to stab a few more times, the sect leader Gerg felt a bad premonition in his heart, and without any hesitation, he disappeared from his ce and appeared out of the thunderw and thunder realm. ''Phew...If I waste by another second, I would have been severely injured by that powerful-looking lightning sh.'' For a moment, the sect leader Gerg''s forehead was entirely covered with sweat as he heaved a sigh of relief for sessfully escaping from the thunder realm. In a 10 meters radius around Cerauno, the lightning shes continuously roared and attacked everything within that radius. So, as soon as the sect leader Gerg felt something was wrong, he didn''t hesitate toe out of the thunder realm. ''Anyway, after getting stabbed by my ''Darkness overlord dagger'' multiple times, he will not survive for much longer....Hehe.'' Nevertheless, the sect leader Gerg was not worried about Cerauno surviving the injuries because he knew how powerful his dagger was and what kind of effects it had. He didn''t attack any more elemental spirits as he enjoyed the suffering of the lightning elemental spirits. ''What?'' Ajax, who was keeping an eye on the fight between Cerauno and the sect leader Gerg was shocked when he saw that Gerg pierced his dagger into Cerauno''s chest multiple times and became worried for his lightning elemental spirit. ''I greatly underestimated the sect leaders. It looks like l should escape from here now.'' Initially, Ajax thought of injuring at least one of the sect leaders; however, after seeing how powerful the sect leaders were and how helpless his elemental spirits were against them. He didn''t want to waste any more time here and directly thought of leaving. ''Rumble'' Soon, he thought of summoning back all his elemental spirits back into his inner world. However, suddenly there was a rumbling in the sky that made Ajax reveal an expectant look on his face. Until now, the lightning shes and thunderbolts appeared from Ceraunow and thunder realm; however, this time, they appeared from the sky, and soon the weather started to change before bing cloudy. The entire sky was filled with thick ck coloured clouds along with lightning shes and thunderbolts. "Cerauno, take care of the assassin sect leader Gerg." Ajax said in a loud and clear voice, making the sect leader Gerg and other sect leaders frown at his words. It was very clear that the chances of Cerauno surviving after getting stabbed multiple times by the sect leader Gerg''s favourite weapon. So, they don''t know why Ajax looked excited. "Prophis, Halo, give your support to Vnis and Bane." At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget about his other two elite general realm elemental spirits and asked the space and time elemental spirits to support them. Because Cerauno doesn''t require any support as heavens blessed him with such a good environment. That''s right! As long as the natural lightning shes and thunderbolts surrounded Cerauno, he couldn''t die, and at the same time, he gained unimaginable power from them. So, Ajax put a hold on his thought of leaving this world until Cerauno teaches the sect leader Gerg a good lesson. ''Zzz'' Inside the thunder realm, Cerauno''s wounded was rapidly healed by the natural lightning shes. ''What the hell? How can this be?'' ''Looks like we still underestimated this young man.'' ''However, it looks like only one of his elemental spirits has learned thew. So, it''s not a big problem.'' ''You are right. But the problem is how that lightning elemental spirit can heal from the wounds received by that dagger?'' The other elemental spirits were barely able to stay alive under the attacks of the sect leaders who were yet to use their powerful skills. So, the sect leaders were able to check on others from time to time, and the sudden recovery of Cerauno from the stabbings made them frown as they muttered to one another. *** Author''s question:- Your favourite contracted spirit beast. ***** imler3963, thanks for the MAGIC WAND. PauloSilva, Dieshard101, thanks for BALLOONS. Chapter 800: Powerful lightning spear

Chapter 800: Powerful lightning spear

It didn''t take much time for Cerauno to heal from his injuries with the help of the natural lightning and thunder from the heavens. ''Skill enhancement'' ''Weapon formation'' ''Weapon enchantment.'' As soon as his injuries were recovered, he looked at the sect leader Gerg with lightning sparks in his eyes and used all the skills in his arsenal. Since ''Thunderw'' and ''Lightning realm'' were already activated even before he was injured, all the weapons in front of him became even more powerful because all the weapons were made up of lightning shes. In front of Cerauno, there were more than 100 powerful-looking weapons hovering in the air. ''Merge'' However, he didn''t use them to attack yet; instead, he merged them into a giant spear that was entirely covered with lightning sparks. ''Why am I feeling a bad premonition in my heart? This is bad. I need to block it.'' When the sect leader Gerg saw the huge spear in the air, he felt that the spear could severely injure him or even kill if he didn''t dodge or block it. For some reason, he also felt it was impossible to escape from that spear. So, all he could do right now was to block it. ''Dark shield'' ''Protective talisman, activate'' ''Tripleyer barrier.'' As soon as he thought about it, he used one of his defensive cultivation techniques along with two talismans. Soon, the sect leader Gerg was enveloped with fouryers of barriers along with a huge ck coloured shield in front of him. At the same time, he slowly distanced himself from the spear, hoping the distance could lessen the power of the lightning spear. ''Go'' Looking at the sect leader Gerg covering himself in theyers of barrier, Cerauno revealed a slight smile on his face as he waved his hand. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the huge lightning spear rushed towards Gerg at an incredible speed. ''The lightning spear looks very powerful.'' ''Yeah. I think, even with myw, I will not escape from that spear unscathed.'' When the other sect leaders saw that lightning spear, they felt it was powerful enough to do enough damage to them. So, they three their opponents into the distance and looked at the sect leader Gerg to know whether he could block it or not? ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Soon the lightning spear reached the barriers and without any difficulty, it destroyed the three barriers in a row. Later, it became a little slow when it was piercing through the fourth barrier. "Haha...it can''t break myst barrier." When the sect leader Gerg saw that the lightning spear slowed down a lot at the fourth barrier, he heaved a sigh of relief at first beforeughing out loud. "Looks like the spear is not as strong as we think it is." The other sect leaders also shook their heads and lost interest in the lightning spear. So, they decided to kill all the elemental spirits. "Cerauno, stop ying and just use your full power." As for Ajax, when he saw how Cerauno was revealing a slight smile on his face after seeing the relieved expression on the sect leader Gerg''s face. Ajax shook his head and asked Cerauno to attack the barrier with full power. ''What?'' All the sect leaders were shocked when they heard Ajax''s words because the lightning spear had already destroyed the three barriers without any problem. So, when they heard that it was not the full power of the lightning spear then the sect leader Gerg was in danger. However, no one moved to help the sect leader Gerg because they wanted the assassin sect leader to die. With his death, the assassin sect will no longer be a top-three sect. The actual reason is, the assassin sect assassinated many of their young geniuses. So, they just wanted to let the sect leader Gerg take care of himself. ''Interesting.'' As for the King, Stephen draton, he was looking at Ajax with an incredible look on his face as he nodded his head for some unknown reason. ''Master, what are your thoughts on him?'' Stephen Draton''s thoughts were fluctuating between whether he could recruit the masked young man or should he kill him to get the items. Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. So, he asked his master about it. Since everyone thinks that the masked young man was from a greater world, it is impossible to recruit him. So, Stephen Draton can ask him to be a guest cultivator like the old man Li from the royal family. If he did that, Stephen had to fulfil the masked young man''s every task and even then, his chances of entering the greater world with the masked young man were not high. As for the second option, if the masked young man was killed, even though they can get some good items along with the elemental spirit stones of various elements, the chances of invasion from the greater world would be high. Even though no one above the king realm can enter the Zrochester province, Stephen Draton was shocked by the prowess of a level 1 general realm cultivator. So, what if a level 10 elite general realm from the greater world enters this province? ording to the rules, Protector Olek will only help them if a King realm cultivator forcefully enters this world. So, the royal family along with other powers of the Zrochester province had to take care of those level 10 elite general realm cultivators. So, Stephen Draton was thinking about his options about killing Ajax. ''What do you think of that young man''s age?'' However, his master didn''t give an answer; instead, he asked a question. "Huh?" Stephen Draton frowned when he heard his Master''s question in his head. ''Maybe around 21 or 22 years.'' Nevertheless, he looked at Ajax''s physical features and answered his master. ''Haha...if I say his age, you will not believe me.'' ''What?'' King Stephen frowned when he saw his master''s reply and waited for his master to reveal, the masked young man''s age. ''He reached 15 a couple of months back.'' ''Master, tell me that you are joking.'' Stephen had a hard time believing his master''s words because ording to his knowledge, one cultivator needed to be at least 15 years old to be a summoner or to cultivate. So, he asked his master in a serious tone. ''Why will I joke with you?'' Stephen could sense that his master was pissed at him for not believing his words and before he could say anything, he heard his master say, ''You know what to do, right?'' ''Yes, master.'' King Stephen nodded his head because he knew what to do next; however, he didn''t get any reply from his master who seemed like he was still angry with him. ''Sigh...I still wonder whether he is a great cultivator that shook the Zrocheste province once or just a kid who became angry all the time?'' Soon, Stephen started thinking about his n and looked at the lightning spear which was bing more and more powerful with each passing second.. ''Kacha'' Suddenly, the fourthyer of the barrier was destroyed and the lightning spear touched the dark shield in front of the sect leader Gerg. *** Chapter 801: Injuring the sect leader Gerg

Chapter 801: Injuring the sect leader Gerg

''Boom'' When the lightning spear touched the huge dark shield in front of the sect leader Gerg, it led to a huge explosion that made the sect leader Gerg fly into the distance. If not for the barrier which was meant to stop masked young men from escaping from this ce, it was unknown how much distance the sect leader Gerg would have been thrown. ''Cough'' Only when they heard the sect leader Gerg cough, they knew that he was still alive. "Such a powerful attack." "iIs it because of the lightning in the sky?" King Stephen and the sect leaders from the two other sects were shocked after seeing such a powerful attack. They guessed that the sudden increase in Cerauno''s strength was because of the lightning in the sky. ''Is it still not enough to kill him?'' As for Ajax, he was a little disappointed when he saw that the sect leader Gerg was still alive. ''But, at least, he was severely injured. As long as Cerauno''s cultivation increased a little bit along with the increment in hisw, Cerauno could alone kill the sect leader Gerg.'' However, after today, Ajax got a rough understanding of the power levels of the sect leaders of the Zrochester province. "I think it''s time to leave." Initially, Ajax wanted to ask Cerauno to use the same skill one more time to kill the sect leader Gerg; however, he noticed that Cerauno looked tired. So, Ajax thought, he should leave. "Everyone,e back." As soon as he had that thought, he summoned back everyone into his inner world and looked at the sect leader Gerg in the distance before saying, "I will take care of you another day." Even though his words were purely for the sect leader Gerg, everyone thought he was saying those words to them. "Kid, even though you have some powerful elemental spirits, you can''t leave unless you have my permission." When he heard Ajax''s earlier words, Ketrok scoffed at him before and said those words. That''s right! It was Ketrok who cast the barrier that can stop anyone from leaving this ce. So, he was very confident that unless he removed the barrier, Ajax couldn''t leave this ce. "Do you know, if I want to leave, no one can stop me?" Since Ajax got the system''s confirmation that he could leave this world anytime he wanted, hezily replied to the fire sword sect leader. "Huh?" Hearing those words, Ketrok frowned and looked at the five old men beside him and said, "Since he summoned back all his elemental spirits. Let''s kill him." Until now, they didn''t see Ajax fight and with Ajax''s cultivation of level 2 general realm, they were very confident in killing him. So, they rushed towards him to kill him. ''System, open the portal to the five elemental world.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t worry he would be killed by the sect leaders because he knew he could escape in time. "Stop." All of a sudden, King Stephen appeared in front of Ketrok and the five old men and asked them to stop. "Your majesty, what happened?" They were confused at the sudden appearance of the king in front of them and asked him. "Wait for a second. You will know." King Stephen didn''t exin them; instead, he looked at Ajax before asking, "Young man, I apologize to you for our earlier behaviour." ''What?'' When they heard those words, the sect leaders were shocked. "Even though there are not many valuable cultivation resources in this province, I will fulfil all your requests as long as it is within my capability on one condition." The sect leaders'' shock didn''tst for much longer because they finally understood what Stephen was nning and waited to know whether what they thought was right or not. "And what is that?" Ajax already had a rough understanding of the royal family and its work. Still, he asked what the condition was. "You need to join my royal family as the guest cultivator." Soon, Stephen revealed the condition with a slight smile on his face. ''That''s it. As long as this young man joins the royal family, the sects can''t overthrow the royal family'' ''What should we do?'' As for the sect leaders, they were bing anxious as they looked at the masked young man fearing that he might agree with him. "Haha...a little royal family wants me to join them? What a joke!" Even though it was tempting, Ajax suppressed his emotions and looked at Stephen and whileughing, he mocked him and his family. Since everyone was thinking that he came from a greater world, Ajax acted like one. At the same time, there was a bad reputation for the royal family that it would manipte its guest cultivators into bing the servants of the royal family. "What did you say?" Stephen Draton didn''t like when someone mocks his family and when he heard Ajax''s words, he became angry as he released his cultivation pressure. Compared to the sect leaders, Stephen Draton''s cultivation was even more powerful, making Ajax suffocate a little. "I said, your family is not worth a thing in his family." Even though he said that in front of Stephen, inside his heart, he thought, ''After six days, I wille back to your sacred pool.'' Since Ajax was ranked first in the ''Champions'' contest, the royal family had rewarded him with an entry into their sacred pool for a week. ording to the system''s suggestion, it was a good thing for his summons to enter the sacred pool. So, he decided to enter it, which will be open in six days.'' "I am going to kill you today no matter what." After saying that, King Stephen rushed towards him with incredible speed. "System, hurry up." Ajax urged the system to open the portal to the five elemental world. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he urged the system, a huge portal appeared behind Ajax. "If you want to fight, you cane to my world. I will take good care of you." After finishing his words, Ajax jumped into the portal. ''What?'' ''How can he open a portal when my barrier is still active.'' ''Unless he opened a portal to his world.'' When they saw Ajax jump into a portal, all the sect leaders were shocked because when Ketrok''s barrier was in active use, they couldn''t even open any portals with the help of the talismans. However, when one of the old men said that the portal was for another world, everyone understood that it was a portal to a greater world. ''Damn it'' As for Stephen Draton, he stopped right in front of the portal and looking at it, he cursed Ajax. Even though he was very eager to enter a greater world, he didn''t want to enter the portal because of Ajax''sst words before jumping into the portal. If he entered the portal and appeared in that masked young man''s ce, then only death awaits him. So, he controlled his urge to enter the portal and shouted into it. ''Today is a very unlucky day for us.'' ''Phew...at least that young man didn''t join the royal family.'' The sect leaders whispered to themselves and looked at Stephen with controlledughter. ****** The author is trying to reach 20000 cheers in win-win this month.

Chapter 802: Entering the Five Elemental World

For the sect leader, the only happiest thing that happened today was a young man mocking Stephen Draton and the royal family. They wanted to do it for a long time; however, they were not yet powerful enough to go against the sects. So, they kept it in their hearts and enjoyed it when a young man did that. Nevertheless, if they find the young man in the future, they should take revenge for what happened to their sect elders and other powerful cultivators. "If what happened today goes out, I will hold your three sects responsible for it." Stephen Draton waited until the portal waspletely closed and turned his head to the sect leaders before giving a warning to them. After finishing his warning, Stephen Draton disappeared from the ce. Of course, Ketrok removed the barrier when Stephen was giving a warning to them. All the sect leaders nodded their heads; however, they were thinking about how to exploit this incident into their use. ...¡­ In the five elemental world, In front of the huge white-coloured castle, ''Swoosh'' A portal appeared in front of the gate. ''Thud'' From the portal, a masked young man fell to the ground. ''Ouch'' The masked young man groaned in pain as he stood up from the ground while removing the dust from his robes. "Report it to one of the elders about the appearance of a young human from the portal." While Ajax was busy removing dust from his robes, he heard a voice and looked in that direction. There was a group of young men with huge white wings on their backs. Among them, one of the young men asked another young man to report about Ajax''s arrival. "Yes, brother." "Who are you?" "What are you doing?" After the young man went inside to report about the sudden appearance of a human in front of their castle, they asked Ajax with serious looks on their faces. "Hmm" Ajax didn''t think he would be forgotten by the tribesmen of the lightning hawk tribe. So, he didn''t know what to say as he silently informed his avatar and the three contracted spirit beasts about his arrival. "Huh?" Suddenly, Ajax noticed something in front of the white castle and shook his head. "Answer us if you don''t want to end up in the lightning prison." Seeing that the human in front of them was not giving an answer, the young man who looked like the in charge of the watch guards asked Ajax once again. This time, he revealed his cultivation and at the same time tried to put pressure on Ajax. ''Huh? From when did the leader of the watch guards have such high cultivation?'' Ajax endured more powerful cultivation pressures. So, the cultivation pressure from a level 3 elite general realm didn''t have much effect on him. However, there was something that made him think about the cultivation of the leader of the watch guards. "Will you believe that statue was made after me?" Nevertheless, he curbed his curiosity and asked the young men while pointing at the golden statue in front of the white castle. While saying those words, Ajax removed the hollow mask from his face. ''This is¡­.'' ''Putong'' As soon as they saw Ajax''s face, they fell to the ground and started saying, "We beg your pardon, benefactor." "We didn''t know it was you and dared to point our weapons at you." Until now, Ajax was wearing a hollow mask that can not only hide his facial features but can even hide his scent and cultivation. So, they were unable to recognize Ajax at first nce. "No need to worry. I know you are doing your duty and also, I was wearing a special mask." The young man in front of him were the subordinates of his contracted spirit beasts. So, he didn''t say anything. "So, can I enter now?" With a smile on his face, Ajax asked them; however, he didn''t wait for their reply as he directly walked in. ''Everything we heard about our benefactor is true.'' ''Right! We didn''t make things difficult for us and let us off easily.'' ''However, we should not make these kinds of mistakes again.'' These young men didn''t meet Ajax in his previous visits to the five elemental world but they have heard a lot about him. So, their respect towards him increased to another level after today. ... ''The details of this statute are so clear. No wonder, they were able to recognize me as soon as I removed my mask.'' After entering the courtyard, Ajax looked at his golden statue and revealed a bright smile on his face. ''The same goes for the castle.'' After checking the statue, he stopped in his steps to check the white castle in front of him and he was mesmerized by the structure of the white castle. "Master, you are finally here." All of a sudden, a white silhouette rushed out of the white castle and fell into his arms. "How are you, Snow?" While patting Snow''s back, Ajax asked her with a slight smile on his face. "I am good and with the help of others, we have sessfully conquered the Shixato wilds." Coming out of his arm, Snow replied just like how a subordinate says after finishing their mission. "Excellent." Even though Ajax knew about it already, he still looked excited because he knew how much his contracted spirit beasts worked with their tribes to clear all the unevolved spirit beasts from the Shixato wilds. "Also, you are now very powerful." Ajax looked at her cultivation and praised her regarding her cultivation. He was not saying just to make Snow feel good, Ajax was saying it from the bottom of his heart. Because Snow''s current strength is level 2 elite general realm. Along with her cultivation, she grew even more beautiful that can topple the kingdoms with her beauty. Soon, they started talking about the things that happened in the Shixato wilds when he was not there. "Ajax, you are back." While he was talking with Snow, Ajax heard a familiar voice and saw an old man with wings on his back. "Elder Qwerek, how are you?" Ajax greeted the oldest and strongest member of the lightning hawk tribe with a polite smile on his face. "I am fine," Qwerek nodded his head and continued saying, "Let''s go inside and talk." "Sure." Soon, they went into the white castle. There was a spacious hall that could amodate more than 100 hawk tribesmen in the hall alone. Just like outside, the inside of the white castle was designed with manyplicated designs; however, Ajax guessed that these are not just simple designs but something more than that. "Ajax, all the upper echelon of the lightning hawk tribe is here." As soon as they entered the hall, Elder Qwerek showed his hands at some of the hawk tribesmen sitting inside the room. "Hello, everyone." "Hello, Ajax." Soon, they greeted each other. ''Rumble'' ''Shake'' Just when they wanted to talk more, they heard loud rumbling noises and the ground seemed like shaking a little. "What is that?" Ajax frowned as he looked in the direction of the sounds. ****** The author is trying to reach 20000 cheers in win-win this month. So, the author will try to release as many chapters as possible. All you have to do is to unlock the chapters when it is still in privilege. Chapter 803: Five Elemental Pentapus

Chapter 803: Five Elemental Pentapus

"What is that sound?" Ajax turned his head to Elder Qwerek and asked about the sound. "It must be Raweth." Before Elder Qwerek could give a reply, Snow answered Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ''Raweth?'' Ajax looked confused because why would Raweth make so many earth shaking noises? "You will find out soon enough, Master." Snow could guess what Ajax was thinking judging by his facial expressions. So, she told him that he will know about it soon. ''Is it a surprise for me?'' Ajax shook his head and looked forward to what his contracted spirit beast was trying to do. ''Roar'' All of a sudden, the rumbling of earth-shaking was stopped; however, there was a loud roar making Ajax look at Snow. However, she was not worried or anxious about the loud roar in the distance. ''Judging from the intensity of the roar, the spirit beast has at least a mid-level rank 6 strength. But, no one in the main hall of the white castle was worried about the roar.'' Ajax was bing more and more curious about his surprise and walked out of the castle. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Just when he was about to climb down the steps of the white castle, a red-coloured silhouette fell down on the ground, making the dust fly in the air. "Raweth?" It was none other than Raweth, who was currently in a soldier''s salute position as he greeted his master, "Raweth and otherspleted the mission given by the master." He said the same words just like snow and as for Ajax, he walked towards Raweth and helped him stand properly before saying, "I am proud of all three of you." Even though he helped them in the beginning, when they reached the general realm, Ajax just left them in the five elemental worlds with a mission to aplish. Not only did theyplete the mission, in the process, they also became powerful and each had their own factions. "By the way, what are those earth-shaking and rumbling sounds earlier?" Soon, Ajax asked Raweth about the sounds. "I have a surprise for you, master." When he heard that question, Raweth revealed a slight smile on his face as he took Ajax and flew into the air. Within no time, they appeared a few hundred meters away from the white castle. "Penta, you cane out and greet the master." Afternding on the ground, Raweth touched the ground and spoke, making Ajax frown a little. However, he didn''t say anything to Raweth and waited to see what would happen next. ''Rumble'' As soon as Raweth finished his words, Ajax saw the ground below him shake a little and soon a huge hole appeared in front of him. ''What is happening?'' Ajax knew that Raweth would not harm him. So, he was not worried; instead, he was just curious about the hole. Soon, a spirit beast came out of the hole. ''This is¡­.'' Ajax recognized the spirit beast in front of him which was extending one of its tentacles as though it wanted a handshake. Ajax was in a state of shock that he was unable to extend his hand to give a handshake as he recalled when he saw the spirit beast in front of him. "Is this spirit from that ce?" It didn''t take much time for Ajax to find out where he had seen the spirit beast in front of him/ "Yes, master. This is the same spirit beast which you used to escape from the ws of the older birdman when you visited the five elemental world for the first time." Looking at the shocked look on Ajax''s face, Raweth exined about the spirit beast. That''s right! When he was caught by the older birdmen, he used the help of a powerful tentacled spirit beast. So, of course he remembered it. "How did you¡­.." "It is still a baby spirit beast. So, it only cost me one monster peach to convince him to follow me." Before Ajax could finish his sentence, Raweth exined how he was able to convince a powerful spirit beast to follow him. "A baby? Monster peach?" Compared to his earlier visits, this visit continuously shocked him. First, the constrictions are filled with powerful runes and formations. Two, the watch guards with the cultivation of elite general realm and general realm. Three, A huge spirit beast with a tentacle size of more than 10 meters is still a baby. And thest one, Raweth gave a monster peach to the spirit beast as though it was nothing. So, he really didn''t understand how many changes had happened to the five elemental world since hisst visit. "Master, while conquering the Shixato wild, we found around five monster peaches growing in the wilderness. So, we each consumed one monster peach and one was eaten by Penta and we stored thest monster peach for you." While exining about the monster peaches, Raweth took out a monster peach and gave it to Ajax. Penta, it was the name of the huge but still a baby spirit beast because it has five tentacles each with different colours. "So, finding the monster peaches in the wilderness has always been this easy?" Ajax didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry after hearing Raweth''s words. Basically, ording to Raweth, the monster peaches are waiting to be plucked in the wilderness. "Anyway, I can use this monster peach to make more monster peach pills and help Neil and others to reach the elite general realm to get the system rewards." For helping his allies, Ajax would get some rewards from the system. So, Ajax wanted to help them at the same time, he wanted to get some good rewards from the system. "Good." Nodding his head, Ajax stored the monster peach in his inventory and looked at the tentacled spirit beast. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Five elemental pentapus Element:- Fire, water, wind, earth and life. Strength:- peak rank 6 Skills:- 1) Fireballs:- Depending on the consumption of the essence of nature, the red-coloured tentacle of the pentapus can release 100-1000 fireballs. 2) Winddes:- Depending on the consumption of the essence of nature, the azure coloured tentacle of the pentapus can release 100-1000 wind des. 3)? Mugshots:-Depending on the consumption of the essence of nature, the brown-coloured tentacle of the pentapus can release 100-1000 mud shots. 4) Water bullets:-Depending on the consumption of the essence of nature, the blue-coloured coloured tentacle of the pentapus can release 100-1000 water bullets. 5) Healing orb:-Depending on the consumption of the essence of nature, the green-coloured tentacle of the pentapus can release 100-1000 green coloured orbs that can heal 100 to 1000 beings surrounding it or it can self-heal with all those healing orbs. Special skills:- Hardened skin, tough tentacles, Tentacle regeneration. More information:- A spirit beast that can only be born in the five elemental world. Soon,plete information the five elemental pentapus appeared in front of Ajax making him a little shocked. ''So, the different coloured tentacles all represent the elements.'' Even though he guessed about it earlier, he didn''t think much about it and when he saw the skills of the spirit beast, he was shocked. **** The author is trying to reach 20000 cheers in win-win this month.

Chapter 804: Guardian spirit beast

The five elemental pentapus has a lot of area of attacking skills along with some good special skills. ''No wonder, it could stop the older big man back then.'' Ajax silently nodded his head at the skills of the spirit beast. "So, you are called Penta, right?" Ajax walked towards it and patted its round head. ''Hmm'' The spirit beast gave a ''hmm''; however, it was unable to speak human speech yet. "Since you helped me escape from the ws of the older birdman, I will give you these two items." While saying that, he took out two items from the system inventory. One was the advanced essence pill that could help the spirit beast awaken their ancestral memories. Another item was also a pill much smaller than the advanced essence pill but it is also very helpful for the spirit beasts to awaken some good skills, bloodline or increase their potential. It was the special spirit beast food that he gained from one of the missions. ''Gulp'' As soon as it received the two pills, the five elemental pentapus tossed them into its mouth and acted like nothing. Moreover, there were no changes in the pentapus making Ajax frown atst and bitterly shook his head. ''Looks like, both the pills are wasted.'' It was not 100 percent guaranteed that the advanced essence pills and special spirit beast food would work on the spirit beasts. So, Ajax thought it was not his luck. ''Should I give those two pills once again?'' Ajax silently thought in his head whether to give the two pills once again. Since the five elemental pentapus has no problem in bing his contracted spirit beast, he could form a contract with it anytime. So, the stronger the spirit beast was, the more helpful it would be when he was destroying some evil worlds in the future. The spirit beast was already a peak level rank 6 spirit beast and it was only one step away from reaching the king realm; however, Ajax knew it was not an easy thing for the pentapus to reach the king realm without learning a singlew. He had already seen itsplete information in the system. So, he knew even though the spirit beast looked only an inch away from reaching the king realm, in reality, it was nowhere close to breaking into the king realm. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was thinking whether he should give more pills to the spirit beast or not, one of the pentapus'' tentacles rushed towards Ajax and wrapped around Ajax. "Huh? What is it doing?" Even though the blue-coloured tentacle wrapped around him, it was not holding him tightly. So, Ajax was not worried about the spirit beast killing him because earlier he noticed something. Earlier, when he gave the two pills, the pentapus acted like a child who got his favourite candy. So, he knew that pentapus would never act on him unless he truly angered it. ''Ding, The five elemental pentapus wants to form a contract with the host. Do you want to ept it? Just as he was wondering what was happening, he got the system notification that made him clear his doubts. ''Of course, I will.'' Why will he not ept it when a highly potential spirit beast wants to form a contract with him? So, he nodded his head and epted the contract. Even if the five elemental pentapus didn''t initiate the contract, he would have tried his own methods to form a contract with that spirit beast. ''Aargh'' Unlike the previous contract, this time it waspletely different because just as Ajax agreed to form a contract with the five elemental pentapus, he started groaning in pain. ''Ding, The system detected the spirit beast as a special beast that is attached to the world. ''Ding, Initiating the special type of contract with five elemental pentapus. Along with the pain, a couple of system notifications rang in his head making him a little frown; however, he didn''t think much about it because all his focus was on enduring the pain. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the remaining four tentacles of the five elemental pentapus wrapped around Ajax and some special energy of five different colours were released from the tentacles. All the energies were entering into Ajax''s body and his body started glowing with five different colours which represented five elements. ...¡­ Somewhere in the five elemental world. "Summoning master, that universal summoner is back. Universal summoner is back." Inside a dark cave, a dual-coloured elemental spirit was jumping up and down as it informed a masked human in the cave who was silently cultivating with his eyes closed. "Really?" As soon as he heard the words of his dual elemental spirit, the masked human opened his eyes with an excited look on his face. "Yes, summoning master. I was keeping an eye on his contracted spirit beasts. So, I was able to sense him as soon as he met one of his contracted spirit beasts." The dual elemental spirit replied with a proud look on his jelly-like face. "Good. Continued to keep an eye on him. By tonight, I can recover 10 percent of my battle prowess. Then we can go and have a talk with him." The masked man thought about something for a moment before giving his elemental spirit an order to continue to watch Ajax. "One more thing, he is trying to form a contract with the guardian spirit beast of this world." The dual elemental spirit nodded its head and was about to leave the cave; however, it suddenly remembered something and informed its summoning master. "Isn''t the guardian spirit beast already dead?" If not for the mask on the masked human, one could have noticed that he was clearly shocked when he heard his elemental spirit''s word; however, he suppressed his emotions and asked his elemental spirit a question. "Yes. It was killed; however, a new one appeared; however, it was yet to learn anyws. So, it is just a baby and it will take at least 10 years to enter the king realm." The elemental spirit seemed very knowledgeable about the five elemental world and its guardian spirit beast as it exined everything it saw outside the cave. "This is not possible. Since thest guardian spirit beast died not long ago, it would take more than 10 years for it to be released by the core of the world." The masked summoner started thinking about what must have happened to the new guardian beast of the five elemental world toe out of the core of the world before the time. "Unless it consumed something good." Suddenly, the masked summoner came to a realization and looking at his elemental spirit, he asked, "Did you notice one of that universal summoner''s contracted spirit beast gives some powerful cultivation fruit?" "Hmm...yes." The dual elemental spirit thought for a moment as its head shined with a bright light a moment before nodding its head as it continued, "The fire crow gave a monster peach to it and as soon as it consumed the fruit, it came out of the ground and started following him." "That''s it." The masked summoner nodded his head said, "Let''s and meet him by the time he finishes forming the contract with the guardian spirit beast." ****** The author is trying to reach 20000 cheers in win-win this month.

Chapter 805: Learning fivews at once

As soon as he finished his words, the masked summoner stood up from the ground and walked towards the exit of the cave. "But, you are still very weak. At least let''s wait until you recover 10 percent of your injuries." The dual elemental spirit became anxious when it saw that its master who was severely injured in his previous battle was trying to leave the cave. "It''s not a big deal. Even with my current cultivation, there is no one who can stop me if I want to escape." The masked summoner replied to his elemental spirit. "I know that master. As long as I am here, I can take care of anyone from this world; however, if ''They'' sensed you were hiding in this world, they will continue to send someone to kill you. Also, except for me, all the other elemental spirits were in slumber. Unless you recover your strength, there is no way, we can''t return back to our world." The dual elemental spirit was greatly worried about returning back to their world. "Haha¡­.silly. Stop worrying too much. We will return to our world." The masked summoner looked at his elemental spirit and could not help but pat its head before saying, "Let''s go and meet the universal summoner first. After that, we will know what we should do." As soon as he finished his words, he held the hand of his elemental spirit before walking out of the cave. ...¡­ Back at the white castle, ''Aargh'' Ajax continued to groan in pain as he waspletely wrapped by the five tentacles of the five elemental pentapus. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Snow and others hurriedly rushed towards that ce and they were shocked by what was happening in front of them. ''Swoosh'' "Master" Even Sparrow, theherworld ice sparrow came from the distance with her subordinates following behind her. Snow, Raweth and Sparrow, everyone has worried looks on their face because they had never seen a contract that would be this painful. When they were rushed forward to kill the five elemental pentapus and save Ajax, they were stopped by Raweth because Ajax ordered no one to disturb him while he was forming a contract with the five elemental pentapus. ''I hope everything will be fine.'' Everyone prayed in their hearts because with the appearance of Ajax, their lives had taken a great turn and they were progressing in their cultivation at an incredible speed. If they were given a few more years, they could catch up to ''Mountain lion woods'' and another few more years, they would be on the same level as that of ''Ancient evergreen woods''. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world. ''Ding, The five elemental pentapus learned five newws. ''Ding, Raging fire (level 1), Water domain (level 1), Earthquake (level 1), Bizarre wind (level 1) and? Undying spirit (level 1) ''Ding, The host is blessed with a special effect with the core of the five elemental world for helping its guardian spirit beast learn fivews at one. ''Ding, With the help of the special effect, the host will be protected from any attacks from the cultivators below the king realm. ''Phew¡­.huf huf.'' As soon as the pain disappeared Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and started gasping for breath as heavily as possible. At the same time, many system notifications rang in his head. "Master, are you alright?" Just as the pentapus released Ajax from its tentacles, his three contracted spirit beasts rushed towards him. "I am alright." Ajax nodded his head and asked everyone to leave him alone with his contracted spirit beasts for some time. Once they got the confirmation that Ajax was perfectly fine, all the tribesmen of lightning hawks, the subordinates of Raweth and Sparrow left from there. "Holy heavens" As soon as everyone left, Ajax stood up as though nothing had happened and walked towards the five elemental pentapus with a smile. "You learned fivews within a few seconds. Excellent." Ajax patted the head of the pentapus which seemed to be liked by the spirit beast. "Laws?" "What is that master?" Raweth and others didn''t understand Ajax''s words and slowly asked him about it. "Since you? have already entered the elite general realm, it is time for you to learn about how to enter the king realm." After patting the head of the pentapus for a second, Ajax turned towards these three powerful re-cultivated spirit beasts and continued saying, "There are three conditions to enter the king realm, They are¡­.." Soon, Ajax started exining everything he knew about the king''s realm because after seeing Cerauno, Ajax guessed that a cultivator can learn aw even in level 1 of the elite general realm. "So, to form a soul, we need toprehend aw rting to my affinity element?" "Yes." "And that pentapus learned five of thews belonging to five different elements?" "Yes." "Are there any methods on how we can learn aw in the shortest time possible?" "I don''t know and the moment I learn about it, of course, I will help you with it." Soon, there was a question and answer session between Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts regarding the conditions to enter the king realm and pentapus. "By the way, don''t you know about the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world?" Looking at Raweth, Ajax asked a question with a confused look on his face. Since Ajax was an outsider, he didn''t have any idea of the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world; however, Raweth should have an idea about it? "What?" "Master, are you saying that this five tentacle spirit beast is the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world?" "But, it is still a child, right?" Raweth was the one who asked thest question because he became very close to that spirit beast over time. So, he treated it as his youngest brother. "Yes. He is still a child but he is the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world." After seeing their reactions, Ajax didn''t bother to ask why Raweth and other residents of this world didn''t know about their own guardian spirit beast. ''Nevertheless, as long as I am in this world, I am invincible below the king realm.'' When he saw the blessing he gained from the core of the five elemental world, Ajax could not help but excite. "Don''t ask me any more questions. I have some questions to ask you. Answer them first." Soon, Ajax asked them not to ask any more questions; instead, he said he will ask a question. "Yes, master." All three of them nodded their heads. "By the way, are there any king realm cultivators in the five elemental world?" Since Ajax didn''t have any threat with the cultivators below the king realm, he wanted to know whether there were any king realm cultivators in the five elemental world. "Yes, master. ording to what we know, there are king realm cultivators in this world and there were more than a dozen of them." Raweth nodded his head as he replied to Ajax''s question with a serious look on his face. ******* Finally, released all the chapters for today. Chapter 806: Netherworlds essence

Chapter 806: Netherworld''s essence

The five elemental world has four regions ruled by different factions. Shixato wilds, it is under the ruling of Ajax''s three contracted spirit beasts who were the tribe leaders of Lightning hawk tribe, Netherworld ice sparrow tribe and three-legged fire crow tribe. Western foxnds had the same strength as that of old Shixato wilds; however, after Ajax''s visits, the power levels of the inhabitants of the Shixato wilds increased at an incredible speed. So, Western foxnds are not a match for the Shixato wilds. As for the leader of this region, it was simrly governed by the various fox tribes just like how Shixato wilds used to govern. Mountain lion woods is powerfulpared to the previous two regions and governed by a single lion tribe that is the ''Elemental lion king'' tribe. As for the inhabitants of that region, it was mostly lions and many unevolved spirit beasts without proper intelligence. Thest but powerful region in the five elemental world, Ancient evergreen woods which was inhabited by the elves. "Master, ording to the information we have, except for Western foxnds, the other two regions have the king realm cultivator." This time, Snow walked forward and informed Ajax. "Oh" Ajax was not surprised when he heard there were king realm cultivators in this world; however, what surprised him was the number of king realm cultivators. ''If there are more than a dozen of them, it is going to be difficult for me to conquer the entire five elemental world.'' ording to Ajax''s assumptions, the system gave a mission to conquer the Shixato wilds at first and now asked him to conquer the Wester foxnds. So, as soon as hepleted the second mission, he could guess the next mission would be conquering the Mountain lion woods. ''I have to hurry up and be powerful and help my summons learn thews.'' Ajax decided to haste the things. As for the king realm cultivators, he didn''t ask his contracted spirit beasts because he was not going to conquer thest two regions which have the king realm experts. "By the way, why has everyone''s cultivation increased so much? Even the watch guards have the level 5 general realm strength and the head of the guards have the level 2 elite general realm strength." After concluding the previous matters, looking at Snow, Ajax asked her. He didn''t know about the other two tribes; however, Ajax had seen the lightning hawk tribesmen who were much more powerful than before. "It is all thanks to you, master." Snow revealed a bright smile as she continued exining, "After master helped with the lightning tribtions, this entire area became a grade 1 lightning elemental paradise." "However, Elder Qwerek used some techniques to reduce the elemental paradise site from one kilometer to 100 meters and made the grade 1 elemental paradise into a grade 2 elemental paradise with the help of the thunder pool''s water you have given to the tribe." After a lengthy exnation, Snow stopped speaking. "Oh" Even though Ajax was surprised a little, he didn''t think much about it because the lightning hawk tribe has many ancestral records in their library. "That''s a good move by Elder Qwerek." Ajax nodded his head and asked them, "So, how powerful are your tribes?" It is the many thing Ajax wanted to know because he wanted to have a rough estimation of his strengths. So, he can easily conquer the ''Western foxnds''. "Raweth, let''s start with you." Pointing at Raweth, Ajax asked him to start exining the strength of his tribe. "My fire crow tribe has one grand elder who reached the peak elite general realm, five elders with a cultivation of level 5-8 elite general realm and fifteen crows with a cultivation of level 2-3 elite general realm." "Also, ording to the suggestion of Snow, I selected 100 talented young men from my tribe and helped them reach the general realm." "As for me, I am a level 3 elite general and I have confidence in fighting a level 8 or level 9 elite general realm if I transform into a huge fire crow for 10 minutes." Raweth gave a detailed report of his tribe''s power structure which was good. "Your tribe is also progressing a lot." Thest time he visited the five elemental world, almost all of them were in the general realm and lower levels of the elite general realm. He didn''t expect their power to increase so much without any help from him. "It''s because of the continuous fighting and finding good cultivation resources in the wilderness of the Shixato wilds." Raweth exined the reason for the increase in the strength of his tribe. "Yes, master. Raweth was the one who was fighting a lot with his tribe and got all the good items." Snow and Sparrow said with annoyed looks on their faces. Compared to Snow and Sparrow, Raweth was fully focused on fighting the unevolved spirit beasts in conquering the Shixato wilds. Moreover, he pushed the limits of his tribes becausepared to the other two tribes, his tribe is weakest and if he didn''t push any limits, he would continue to remain as a weakling. Lightning hawk tribe has a grade 2 elemental paradise whereas the Netherworld ice sparrow tribe has Sparrow. That''s right! It is because of Sparrow, Raweth feared his tribe would remain weakest among the three tribes. After Sparrow re-cultivated into the human, her re-cultivated artifact was the ''Netherworld essence''. With the help of this essence, Sparrow could not kill her enemies, she can also use it to increase the cultivation of her tribe. "Next, Sparrow. What about your tribe?" Ajax was satisfied with Raweth''s efforts to be stronger and looking at Sparrow, he asked her about her tribe. "1 grand elder with peak elite general strength, five level 8- level 10 elite general realm elders and 10 level 5 elite general realm true sparrows." "Just like Raweth, I groomed 100 talented young sparrow tribesmen who had already broken through to level 2 and level 3 general realm." "As for me, I am a level 3 elite general realm cultivator." Compared to the fire crow''s tribe, the Netherworld''s ice sparrow tribe is more powerful. "Is it because of that purple smoke, you awakened after re-cultivating into a human?" Ajax remembered when Sparrow re-cultivated into a human, she awakened a dense purple-coloured smoke as her re-cultivated artifact. So, Ajax rted the rise of the sparrow tribe to it. "Yes, master. It is called theherworld''s essence that can absorb the energy of any being and help me either? increase my cultivation or my tribesmen''s cultivation." Sparrow nodded her head with a bright smile as she exined about herherworld''s essence. "So, all you need is some powerful beings to kill and you can increase your cultivation along with your tribesmen. Good." Ajax was excited because he can make full use of thatherworld''s essence to make Sparrow and her tribe as powerful as possible. "Snow, I hope your tribe is powerful. Still, give me..." "Hello, young man. Sorry for disturbing you." Before Ajax could finish his words, a masked figurended on the ground from the sky along with a dual-coloured elemental spirit. ****** KingRig, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Cole_Braun, thanks for the POTION. Chapter 807: Sun and Moon dual elemental spirit

Chapter 807: Sun and Moon dual elemental spirit

While Ajax was asking Snow to inform her about the strength of the lightning hawk tribe, a masked man appeared from the sky and walked towards him. "Sorry for disturbing you. But I want to ask you a favour?" The masked summoner was a straightforward person. So, as soon as he appeared, without wasting any time, he directly said that he needed a favour from Ajax. "Huh? Why do you think I will help you?" Ajax frowned at the masked man''s words; however, he didn''t sense any malice towards him. As for Ajax''s four contracted spirit beasts, they hurriedly rushed forward and stood in front of their master. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, another figure rushed from the distance and stood in front of Ajax. The figure looked just like Ajax; however, he had an evil look on his face. "I even know about your demonic avatar." Looking at the ''Evil looking Ajax'', the masked man said with a calm look in his eyes. That''s right! The young man that stood in front of Ajax was his demonic avatar which he got from killing the avatar of a demon king from one of the greater worlds. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at the masked man''s words as the masked man continued to speak, "Because I know everything about you and you need help to reach a greater summoner world." "Greater summoner world?" Ajax frowned at the masked man''s words because he was still unable to believe the masked man in front of him. "Yes. Only in the summoner world, you can show your true talent and everyone is a summoner. Moreover, there were many dual and triple elemental summoners." The masked man reminisced his past as he continued to say, "You can also see some summoners with four elemental spirits." "Really?" After hearing all those words, Ajax''s eyes shone as he asked after suppressing his emotions. "Why will I lie to you?" The masked man shook his head as he walked towards Ajax which made all the contracted spirit beasts and the demonic avatar be alert. However, the masked man didn''t do anything unexpected as he continued to exin, "I am myself a tripe elemental summoner. I have elemental spirits belonging to the Sun element, Moon element and Star element." "However, I can''t summon my other elemental spirits which were severely injured.? So, you can only meet my single elemental spirit which is a dual elemental spirit as you can see." The masked man stopped walking and pointing at the dual coloured elemental spirit, he finished his lines. ''Triple elemental summoner? Sun, Moon and Star?'' This was the first time Ajax had met a summoner who had affinities with three elements which were almost as rare as time and space elemental spirits. ''Let''s see the information on this elemental spirit.'' After the masked man finished speaking, Ajax''s interest piqued about the dual elemental spirit of the masked man. So, he used the system to know the information on it. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Sumo. Elemental type:- Sun and Moon. Cultivation:- Unknown Laws:- Unknown Skills:- Unknown More information:- An injured elemental spirit that is recovering with the energies from the suns and moons of the five elemental world. ''What? This hasn''t happened for a long time now.'' Ajax was shocked to see the ''Unknown'' words on the holographic screen because he had seen simr things when was still in themander realm or below that. ''Is that mean, this elemental spirit has already entered the elemental spirit king realm?'' When this thought came to his mind, Ajax became a little worried because, from the strength of the elemental spirit, he could guess that the masked man''s cultivation must be around simr to the elemental spirit. "Looks like you found our cultivations." As Ajax expected, the masked man''s cultivation was beyond the king realm. So, nothing can escape his eyes as he noticed the change in Ajax''s emotions. So, shaking his head, the masked man spoke in a low voice. "However, you don''t need to worry as I only came here to help you and ask a favour from you." The masked man distanced himself from Ajax to show that he meant no harm for Ajax and his summons. "So, what do you want?" Since the other party was not trying to harm him and asked for his help, Ajax decided to know what that masked man wanted him to help with. ''From the looks of it, I can only help him even if it is full of risk.'' How can he reject a request of a summoner whose strength is beyond the king realm? So, Ajax knew he had to be careful when helping the masked man. "Good" Hearing Ajax''s words, the masked man nodded his head as he started by introducing himself, "My name is Ren and I am one of the greater summoner worlds. While venturing to other greater worlds, I and my team were ambushed by some unknown demons who had great strength and great numbers." "My team sacrificed themselves in order for me to survive; however, the demons continued chasing me for many many days. They destroyed all the smaller worlds I tried to hide. Fortunately, a wandering powerful cultivator helped me kill all the demons; however, who would have that after killing all the demons, that powerful cultivator wanted to kill me." While Ren was telling his story, Ajax and his three re-cultivated spirit beasts listened with great attention. From time to time, they give various reactions; however, most of them were shocked expressions because Ren was already a king realm cultivator and he was hunted by a demon army. Later, a powerful cultivator helped him and for some unknown reason, he wanted to kill Ren. "While escaping from that powerful cultivators, all my elemental spirits were injured and entered into slumber except for this one which was also injured but it was able to recover from the critical injuries." Ren''s expression also changed from time to time while exining his story to Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts. "So, should I help you in healing your injuries. If it is so, then it is a piece of cake for me." Ajax felt a little relieved that there was no fighting in helping the masked summoner. So, he was excited to help him. "No." However, the masked man shook his head and said, "I can heal myself and I don''t need your help with it." "Then?" Ajax raised his brows and asked, "Don''t tell me, I have to fight some random powerful cultivator and take revenge for you?" If a king realm cultivator like Ren was barely able to escape from a powerful cultivator, Ajax had no chance of escaping from him, much less fighting him. "I am not the type of person to let others take revenge on my behalf." The masked man said in a serious tone as he continued, "All I need you to do is help me get back to my world." "What?" Ajax frowned when he heard those words as he said, "I don''t know where your world was situated and even if I know, I don''t have the ability to fly that long. Unless you want me to create a portal." Suddenly, Ajax came to a realization and finally understood what Ren wanted with him. ***** No gifts received ^^. **** We are about to reach level 2 in win-win event.

Chapter 808: Sealing a deal with the masked summoner

"That''s right! I want you to create a portal to the greater summoner world." As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, Ren nodded his head. "How? I don''t have the power to make the portals and my elemental spirit is not powerful¡­.." "I know. But, in the future, when you and your elemental spirit enter the King realm, I am very sure your elemental spirit will gain that kind of ability." Before Ajax could finish his words, Ren interrupted his words and informed, "I can wait until you be a King realm cultivator." "Sure. I will try my best to help you then." Since there were no dangers in creating a portal, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and agreed to help the masked summoner. "In turn, I will provide more details on how to create a portal to my world and I will take you along with me if you want as it will be very helpful to meet other summoners for a young man like you." "For now, we have to make a seal that you will try your best? in helping me create a portal to the greater summoner world." While saying his words, Ren took out a small scroll and asked Ajax to drop his blood. "Is this required?" However, Ajax didn''t drop his blood; instead, he asked the masked man with a bitter look on his face. "Yes." The masked man nodded his head and because of the mask, Ajax was unable to see any expression on his face; however, he was sure that the masked man was not happy when he asked about it. ''System, check it.'' Since he still has some doubts regarding the masked man, Ajax wanted to know whether what the masked man said was there on the scroll or was it something else. With the help of the system''s ''Pay to know'' feature, Ajax got to know what the seal is about. And only after knowing that the seal is the same as the words Ren had said, Ajax dropped his blood. After that, Ren looked at his sun and moon elemental spirit before saying, "My elemental spirit will watch you and the moment you enter the king realm, it will inform me." After saying those words, Ren decided to leave because he had to recover from his injuries. ''Sigh'' Ajax shook his head "Wait for a second." Even though Ajax didn''t want to stop Ren, he wanted to ask some questions. So, he asked Ren to stop. "What is it?" Ren was calm and cool after the seal was done. So, he calmly asked Ajax what he wanted. "How do you know I have a space elemental spirit?" This was the question that was killing Ajax for a while now. So, he mustered his courage and asked about it. "I looked into your spirit consciousness earlier." Ren calmly replied to Ajax''s question which made Ajax shocked. "What? How is it possible?" Ajax unconsciously asked with the shocked expression on his face. "Because I can see." Ren shrugged his hands and continued to say, "Actually, I wanted to help you form a contract with a space elemental spirit when I first sensed you in this world." "From that time onwards, my elemental spirit was keeping tabs on you and your elemental spirits; however, in this third visit of yours, you already formed an official contract with a space elemental spirit. So, I decided to ask you a favour." Ren exined everything about how his elemental spirit keeping an eye on him. ''So, it is like that. I am being watched from my first visit to the five elemental world. Looks like he is more powerful than a king realm cultivator.'' After hearing Ren''s words, Ajax understood that the masked man was more powerful than he thought. ''System, is your presence also known by him?'' Without wasting any time, Ajax asked the system to get a rification. ''Ding, The system''s presence will be not known by anyone except for higher realm beings. ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief; however, he was frowned when heard ''Higher realm beings'' and said to the system, ''Who are they?'' ''Ding, The host needs to enter the king realm to know them. Please be patient and work hard to increase your cultivation. ''Sigh...once again my strength is hindering me from knowing about something good.'' Ajax sighed as he shook his head. "By the way, can you exin to me about the cultivation realms after the King realm?" Since the system''s presence is not known to Ren, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and asked another important question. He was curious about the cultivation realms after the king realm and since Ren was the cultivator of a king realm or beyond that, he asked him. "Haha¡­.it looks like everyone is just like me back then...curious about the realms after the king realm." When he heard Ajax''s question, Ren startedughing as he continued saying, "You are only a general realm cultivator but you want to know about the realms beyond the King realm?" "Yes." Even though Ajax could sense the mockery in Ren''s tone, he still nodded his head. "Thick-skinned. That is one of the requirements for a summoner. Nice,? but I will only talk about the king realm and beyond that realm when you learn aw. Did you understand that?" Ren agreed to exin about the realms beyond the king realm; however, he put a condition. ''Sigh...if learningw is that easy, there would have been many king realm cultivators in both the five elemental world and the purple stone world.'' Ajax sighed when he heard the condition but still nodded his head. "Excellent...I will take my leave then." Actually, learning about the realms beyond the King realm will not do any good to a cultivator who was still in the general realm. Ren knew it would be years before Ajax could learn a w''. So, he put the condition. In his view, as long as a cultivator learns aw, he will not be burdened by the cultivation journey that starts from the king realm. "Sumo, let''s go." As soon as he finished his words, Ren left with his elemental spirit; however, Ajax knew that the dual elemental spirit was still keeping an eye on him and his contracted spirit beasts. "Kid, I have very high hopes on you. So, don''t disappoint me." Before Ken and his elemental spirit disappeared, those words resounded in the entire area making Ajax shake his head. ''Aargh'' "Master, are you alright?" Just as Ren left from that ce, Ajax groaned in pain for some unknown reason making his contracted spirit beasts worry. "I am alright." Ajax said those words; however, he looked weak and at the same time he was thinking about the reason why his dantian was in pain. ''What is happening?'' After saying those words, he immediately checked on his dantian and there was a ck coloured vinepletely wrapped itself on his spirit consciousness. ***** Author''s question:- What do you think happened to Ajax? ***** Mario_Lassl, Firejr, thanks for the GRIMOIRE.

Chapter 809: Ghost''s n

''What the hell is that thing?'' Looking at the vines full of thorns wrapping his spirit consciousness, Ajax became a little anxious; however, except for the initial pain, there was no more pain which made him heave a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he was still worried at the sudden appearance of the vines full of thorns inside him. ''Ding, The host needs to not worry about it. The vines are the result of the seal made between the host and the masked man. ''What?'' With the sudden system notification, Ajax became agitated and started cursing the masked man named Ren. ''Ding, The simr vines wrap the masked man''s spirit consciousness. So, there is no need to curse him. ''Ding, Those who can''t keep their end of the deal, their spirit consciousness will be destroyed by those vines full of thorns. While he was cursing Ren, the system sent another two notifications that made Ajax a little surprised. ''Why will he do that?'' Ajax didn''t understand why he would do that to himself. "Anyway, I will not think about it and reaching the king realm is not within reach. Moreover, we have a mission toplete within six days." Soon, Ajax shook his head and didn''t think about it much. To enter the king realm, Ajax had to fulfil the three conditions and one of them was to reach the peak elite general realm. Moreover, to reach the peak elite general realm, Ajax had to gather 18 more golden cores which means he had to destroy 18 worlds. So, Ajax was very sure, it will take years before he could reach the peak elite general realm. So, he didn''t want to think much about it and focused on his current mission. As for why he had six-day because the royal family will open the sacred pool after six then and fortunately, Ajax had an entry into the pool. So, he didn''t want to miss it. "We are at your service, master." Soon, the three re-cultivated spirit beasts bowed to Ajax and waited for his orders. "Before I talk about the mission, Snow, I want to know your tribe''s strength." Looking at Snow, Ajax asked her to briefly give the strength of the Lightning hawk tribe. "The tribe leader Snow is at level 4 elite general realm, the grand elder Qwerek is an inch away from entering the king realm; however, after learning about the information on ws'' from the master, I can say he is not an inch away from the king realm." Soon, Snow started exining about the Lightning tribe''s strength as she continued, "Elder Kraiww and others reached level 8 elite general realm. The twelve hawk guardians are at level 5 and level 6 elite general realm." "As for the 100 talented young hawk tribesmen, they have reached level 6 to level 8 general realm; however, they stillckbat experience. So, they can be weaker than their cultivation strength." Snow gave a detailed report of the cultivation strengths of everyone from the Lightning hawk tribe. "Woah" After listening to Snow''s words, Ajax was surprised because he was already prepared that the lightning hawk tribe is stronger than the other two tribes; however, he didn''t expect the lightning tribe to be this strong. ''Everyone has a good fighting force on their own. I hope they continue to develop these forces.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and he hoped that one day, there will be many king realm cultivatorse out of these forces. "You are working very hard. Keep it up." Ajax patted Raweth and others before saying, "So, it''s mission time." Hearing those words, Raweth was the most excited one because after clearing the entire Shixato wilds, he was bored to hell and his cultivation speed decreased by a lot. As for Snow and Sparrow, they were maintaining theirposure, unlike Raweth who was stretching his body a little. "The mission is conquering the Western foxnds." Ajax didn''t hide the mission details and disclosed it. "Conquering the western foxnds? Excellent." Raweth was the first one to reply to Ajax because as soon as he heard the word ''Conqering'', he became excited. However, Snow and Sparrow didn''t say anything and Ajax felt they were thinking about something. "What happened? Is there any problem with conquering the Wester foxnds?" Ajax knew something was not right when he saw them thinking about something. So, he asked about it. "Master, even though we became powerful within thest few weeks, we still didn''t have theplete information on the Wester foxnds." "Yes, Master. ording to the information, we collected so far, there were more than 30 tribes with nearly the same strength as that of our tribe before we entered this world." Soon, Snow and Sparrow said what they were thinking with apologetic expressions on their faces. "What? 30 tribes?" Ajax was shocked when he heard those words because ording to his previous intel, the Western foxnds had a simr level of strength as that of Shixato wilds; however, suddenly, Snow and Sparrow were saying that they have ten times more tribes in that region. "Actually, when the master arrived, both the regions had the same strengths; however, ording to a rumour, the summoners group appeared at the same time and help the Western foxnds in numbers. So, that is the reason why there were 30 tribes in the Western foxnds." This time, it was Raweth who replied to Ajax. ''Wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax came to a realization and continued to think, ''The time speed between the Purple stone world and Five elemental world was 10 times until the system merged the time speed between them to the same level.'' ''So, while I was in the purple stone world, more than a year has passed in thte five elemental world and that was enough time for the Wester foxnds to grow rapidly.'' Finally, Ajax understood where his calctions went wrong and started thinking on how to conquer the current Wester foxnds. "Even though there are 30 tribes, individually, they can''t even do any damage to one of the current tribes in the Shixato wilds." "However, if those 30 tribes joined together, our chances of winning against them is almost nil." Ajax racked his brains to get an idea to conquer the Western foxnds. Originally, Ajax thought he could conquer the Wester foxnds without much difficulty because when he first visited the five elemental world, both the Shixato wilds and the Western foxnds had the same strengths. However, because of the sudden appearance of the summoner''s group, the western foxnds became more powerful. ''Swoosh'' "Master, I have a n." While he was thinking whether he should wait until his elemental spirits be a little stronger before attacking the Wester foxnds, a small ck-coloured figure appeared out of nowhere and said to Ajax. "Ghost?" Ajax was surprised for a moment and sudden;y remembered that Ghost is from the western foxnds. So, when he heard the three-eyed ghost fox''s words, Ajax revealed a slight smile and asked, "What is your n. As long as it is good, I will give an advanced essence pill." Chapter 810: Divine Dragons skills

Chapter 810: Divine Dragon''s skills

Even though the three-eyed ghost fox consumed two advanced essence pills already, he awakened a skill only once. Other than the fact the advanced essence pill can help awaken the ancestral memories or skills, it tastes good for the spirit beasts. So, when the ghost fox heard Ajax''s promise, his ears perked up. "Master, let''s go back to my tribe and from there we can n on how to conquer the Western foxnds." Nodding his head, the ghost fox suggested going to his tribe. "That''s right, master. It is better for you to go and check the situation in the Western foxnds because we can''t enter the wester foxnds without invitation." Raweth, who was excited until a few moments ago, looked a little disappointed because he could not go with his master to the Wester foxnds. The thing is without any invitation, the tribesmen of one region should not enter; otherwise, it will cause problems. Moreover, Raweth and the two other re-cultivated spirit beasts are the tribe leaders of the Shixato wilds. So, if they enter it will only lead to war between the two regions which Raweth and others didn''t want before knowing the exact strength of the tribes in the Western foxnds. "Okay. Ghost and I will go and gather the information on the strength of the western foxnds with the help of Ghost''s tribe. You go and prepare your tribes for the war." Ajax nodded his head and asked them to prepare their tribes while he went to the western foxnds with the three-eyed ghost fox. As for the five elemental pentapus, Ajax stored it in his inner world and took it with him. .... ''Twilight,e out.'' On his way, Ajax summoned the twilight dragon. ''Roar'' Just like always, the moment he was called out of the inner world, he roared as loud as possible with great excitement. Generally, no spirit beast likes to stay in the inner world all the time except for a few ones who wanted to increase their cultivations using the elemental paradises in the inner world. Among all the spirit beasts, the dragons hate the most when they are kept in one ce all the time. They want to move from one ce to another and want to fight with more powerful foes. So, whenever he was released from the inner world, the dragon was excited. "Let''s go." Soon, he settled on the back of the dragon and flew towards the west while following the ghost fox''s instructions. ''Earlier, the system informed me that all the skills of Twilight are evolved. Let''s see how powerful those skills have be.'' Afterpleting the ''Dragon''s Might'' mission, not only Twilight''s strength increased from low-level rank 5 to high-level rank 5 but many of his skills were mutated. Since it will take him a while to reach the Western foxnds, he thought of checking the skills of the dragon. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Divine destructive twilight dragon (Twilight). Strength:- HIgh-level rank 5. Special Skills:- Divine dragon blessing, Divine body, Destructive dragon''s might. Regr skill:- Dragon''s breath, Divine destructive cannon, Dragon sh skills. Note:- Dragon sh skills include attacks like Dragon w, Wing sh, Dragon tail, Dragon horn. ''Woah'' After seeing the skill set of the Divine destructive twilight dragon, Ajax eximed in surprise. Except for the ''Dragon''s breath'', almost all skills changed a little and now be divine skills. ''Full information.'' Since he wanted to know the changes in those skills, Ajax focused on one skill after another to getplete information on the dragon. ''Ding, Skill name:- Divine dragon blessing. Effect:- Using this skill, the dragon can bless someone to increase all their battle prowess by 10 percent. Note:- 1) The skill can only be used once a year. 2) The being should not have higher cultivation than the dragon. 3) Can only be used once on a single being Side effect:- Temporary weakened state for half a month. ''What? A 10 percent permanent increment in battle prowess?'' After seeing the information on the first special skill, Ajax was shocked because the previous version of this skill''s effect was increasing only one percent. So, he could not help but get shocked. ''Also, the side effect is decreased to half a month. So, I can rest assured to ask Twilight to increase my strength.'' Even though there were some limitations to the skill, Ajax could ask the dragon to use that skill on him anytime he wanted. However, Ajax didn''t have any ns to increase his strength by 10 percent. ''Next.'' Without wasting any time, he took a quick nce at the other skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Divine body. Effect:-? Except for the cultivators who have learned level 2 or higherws can harm the body of the dragon. Note:- High-level elite general cultivators who didn''t know anyws but special attacks can do some damage to the dragon. ''Ding, Skill Name:- Destructive dragon''s might. Effects:- 1) The more it destroys, the more powerful the dragon will be. 2) The more valuable the things it destroys, the more temporary special effects it will gain. 3) Except for the higher level dragon races, it can make all the other dragon''s shudder at its roar. ''Looks like this is the second strongest spirit beast I have in my inner world.'' After seeing the two more special skills of the destructive dragon, Ajax came to the conclusion, Twilight is the second strongest spirit beast. As for the first strongest spirit beast, of course, it will be the five elemental pentapus with fivews and peak elite general realm cultivation. Actually, the five elemental pentapus is the strongest summon he had in his inner world. There is only Ceraun who learned a singlew; however, the five elemental pentapus had fivews covering an attack, defence, support and healing. ''Coming back to Twilight''s special skills, it can now gain temporary special effects while destroying special things. Looks like I should check what kind of special effects Twilight can gain and how powerful they will be.'' Ajax muttered to himself and he was not worried that he would not get chances to see them because from now onwards, all his spirit beasts and elemental spirits will have to fight continuously. Soon, Ajax checked the regr skills and those skills also became a little more powerfulpared to the before the mutation of the dragon. ''Master, on the borders of the western foxnds, there used to be one guardian from each tribe; however, ording to Raweth''s words, there are currently 30 tribes. So, I fear there will be 30 guardians.'' Just as Ajax finished reading the information on the dragon''s skills, the ghost-eyed fox''s voice rang in Ajax''s head. ''Hmm.'' Ajax nodded his head and replied, "Since you have your tribe''s insignia, we don''t have to worry about them, right?" Earlier, the ghost fox informed that as long as Ajax showed the insignia of the Ghost''s tribe, no one would make things difficult for him. "However, it is better to be careful, master. It''s been years since I was in Western foxnds." The ghost fox nodded its small head while sitting on Ajax''s shoulders. "By the way, why did you leave your tribe, Ghost?" Chapter 811: Grey-robed fox guardian

Chapter 811: Grey-robed fox guardian

"By the way, why did you leave your tribe, Ghost?" Suddenly, Ajax asked the three-eyed ghost fox about it. "I was kidnapped by¡­..." Soon, the three-eyed ghost fox exined how it was kidnapped by someone and while escaping from them, how he stumbled upon a huge dead spirit beast''s body. Later, it was unable to leave that spirit beast''s body. So, the ghost fox continued to stay inside the dead body while increasing his strength. Soon, after that, Ajax formed a spirit contract with it and made him his contracted spirit beast. "Sigh" By the time the ghost fox finished his story, Ajax could not help but feel sad and he was a little guilty of not taking the ghost fox to his home a little earlier. "Don''t worry, we will go and meet your father." After hearing the ghost fox''s entire story, Ajax got to know that Ghost only had his father. So, he patted the ghost fox''s small head and asked him to not worry because they are finally going to meet his father. "Master, I suggest, send Twilight and me back into the inner world and only after arriving at my tribe, the Ghost fox tribe, summon me because I still don''t know who tried to kidnap me." Just as they were a few kilometers away from entering the Western foxnds, the three-eyed ghost fox asked Ajax to send him and the dragon back into the inner world. "Okay." Ajax could guess why the ghost fox said those words because the twilight dragon is a pure-blooded dragon that can attract attention. So, Ajax directly summoned both of them into his inner world before using his lightning cloud steps tond on the ground. Later he used the first effect of the lightning cloud steps and ran towards the Western foxnds. Soon, he entered the Western foxnds and followed the same direction which Ghost suggested. "Human, where are youing from?" Ajax was running not too fast or too slow, he was waiting for one of the guardians of the border to appear. As expected, after entering the western foxnds for a few minutes, he was stopped by a being that looked like a humanoid fox with fox ears and tail. That cultivator was wearing light grey coloured robes which made him look like an insignificant cultivator. However, with the help of the system, Ajax could see that the fox guardian had a cultivation of level 8 elite general realm. As for the fox guardian, he was surprised when he saw a human appear in the Western foxnds; however, that surprise onlysted for a moment because he remembered the words of his tribe leader that humans will continue to appear in their region. So, he didn''t think much about it and asked the details of the human as where he wasing from. "I wasing from the Shixato wilds to meet a friend in this region." Ajax replied to the fox guardian''s question with a polite look on his face because he didn''t want any trouble just because of some rude gesture. "Oh" That fox guardian nodded his head and asked, "Which tribe are you going to visit? Do you have any insignia from the tribe? So that I can guide you in the exact direction." Even though his tribe leader said that humans will continue to appear in their region, if they didn''t show any insignia belonging to the particr tribe in the western foxnds or if he felt suspicious regarding anything, he should try to stop them. Also, at the end of the sentence, the fox guardian intentionally added the line in order not to seem impolite as he never knew who the cultivators arriving from the other regions were. What if he was some kind of big shot who came to trade with the tribes in their region? This was the thought in the fox guardian''s mind as he waited for Ajax to take out the insignia of the fox tribe he was going to visit. ''As long as he shows the insignia, I can go back and rest.'' The guardians from the fox tribes are just some old fox men who have already reached their peak and they will not progress any longer in their cultivation. Moreover, every few people dare to enter the western foxnds even with the insignia of the fox tribes. So, except forzing around, they don''t have anything to do all day. After following that routine for years, they will get used to it. That is the reason why the fox guardian wanted to go back as soon as possible to go back to his sleep. "Here." As for Ajax, he felt everything was going smooth as he took out the insignia from his space ring and showed it before saying, "Ghost fox tribe." "Oh. So you came to the Ghost fox tribe." The fox guardian who wanted to go back to his sleep casually nodded his head when he saw the insignia in Ajax''s and heard him say the tribe same. "You can go in this direction." After saying that, the old fox guardian turned into a medium-sized fox and tried to run back to his resting ce. ''Wait for a second. Did he say that he wants to meet someone from the ghost fox tribe?'' All of a sudden, the grey fox halted in his footsteps and transformed back into a fox man. "Human, wait for a second." As soon as he transformed, he directly asked Ajax to stop for a moment. "Huh?" Ajax, who was nning to run in the direction pointed by the grey-robed fox man, stopped and frowned. "What happened, guardian?" Nevertheless, since he didn''t want to bring any attention, he calmly asked the fox man. "You said, you want to go to the ghost fox tribe, right?" Earlier, the fox guardian was not paying too much attention to Ajax''s words. So, he was once again asked to confirm something. "Yes, guardian. I even showed you the insignia of the ghost tribe. So, if you excuse me I need to meet someone from that tribe urgently." Ajax nodded his head as he replied to the old fox guardian and at the same time, he said that needed to go urgently. "Who are you going to meet in the ghost fox tribe?" The fox guardian secretly destroyed a talisman as he asked one more question to Ajax. "Is there something wrong? Why are you asking me all these questions, fox guardian?" Ajax felt something was wrong and at the same time, he also noticed that the fox guardian destroyed some talisman; however, he was not worried much because he can leave the five elemental world at any time he wants. ''Even though I can leave the five elemental world at any time I want, I should only leave this world, when there is no other option for me.'' While waiting for the old fox guardian to answer his questions, Ajax silently thought in his head. "Just answer them; otherwise, I will kill you right now." As soon as he finished his words, the grey-robed old man revealed his cultivation in order to intimidate Ajax. ***** The author will try to release some extra chapters this month. **** Chapter 812: Matters regarding Ghost fox tribe

Chapter 812: Matters regarding Ghost fox tribe

Ajax had endured the cultivation pressure of more powerful cultivators than the old fox guardian standing in front of him who only had the cultivation strength of level 8 elite general realm. So, there was not a slight difort for Ajax from the cultivation pressure. "I am going to meet the tribe leader of the ghost fox tribe. So what now?" Finally, Ajax could not take the overbearing attitude of the old fox guardian and replied with an angry stare. "So, you know where the tribe leader of the ghost fox tribe is hiding. Good." When he heard Ajax''s answer, the old fox guardian was not angered by Ajax''s angry stare; instead, he became a little excited. "Human, as long as you take me to the cowardly tribe leader, I will let you live. What do you say?" The old fox guardian suppressed his excitement and said to Ajax with a calm look on his face. "Huh? Coward tribe leader?" Ajax realized something was not right and connected all the words that the old fox guardian had said from the start. After connecting those words, he could guess something bad had happened to the ghost fox tribe. "Don''t act like you didn''t know the ghost fox''s tribe leader and most importantly don''t say that you are going to meet him for the first time." Looking at the puzzled look on Ajax''s face, the old fox guardian scoffed and urged Ajax by saying, "Don''t waste my time and lead the way to the hiding location of the ghost fox''s tribe leader." ''Since I crushed the talisman in my hands, the tribe leader and others can sense my direction for another 30 minutes. So, as long as I find the hiding location before that, I can get that item.'' After asking Ajax to guide the way, the fox guardian was thinking something else in his head. "Fine." Ajax nodded his head and continued saying, "If you want to live, you will say what happened to the ghost fox tribe." While saying those, a figure appeared beside Ajax and using its tentacles, the pentapus stopped the fox guardian to move. "What? A peak level rank 6 spirit beast?" When he heard Ajax''s words, the fox guardian became very angry; however, before he could express it, he was wrapped by a tentacle and when he sensed the strength of the spirit beast beside Ajax, he was entirely covered in sweat. "Yes. It is a peak level rank 6 spirit beast and if you don''t exin what happened to the ghost fox tribe and why the tribe leader was hiding, my spirit beast will take good care of you. Isn''t that right, Penta?" At the end of his words, Ajax looked at the five elemental pentapus and asked with a slight smile. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' With its other tentacles, the five elemental pentapus pped the ground lightly which showed its agreement to Ajax''s words. "Yes...yes. I will say." Even before the five elemental pentapus could use any of its skills or even release its cultivation pressure, the fox guardian scared to death as he nodded his head to Ajax''s words. "A few years back, the ghost fox tribe was the second ranked tribe among the three tribes in the Western foxnds." Soon, the fox guardian started speaking about the events that happened a few years back. "Those times were peaceful until the son of the ghost fox''s tribe leader missed one day or rather was kidnapped by someone. Then...A ghost fox?" ''Swoosh'' While he was speaking, the old fox guardian saw a three-eyed back fox appear out of nowhere and stood on the young man''s shoulder in front of him. As soon as his eyesnded on the ck fox, the fox guardian stopped speaking and widened his eyes in shock. "You are the nameless son of the ghost fox''s tribe leader, right?" The fox guardian''s eyes shone for a moment before asking the three-eyed ghost. "Yes. Just say what happened to my tribe and why is my father hiding?" The three-eyed ghost fox was keeping an eye on the western foxnds from the inner world. So, as soon as he heard the words of the fox guardian, he came out without Ajax''s permission. Seeing the anxious little ck fox, Ajax didn''t say anything and looked at the fox guardian and singalled him to continue speaking. "One day, this nameless son of the ghost fox''s tribe leader disappeared without a trace and as soon as the tribe leader found out that his son unevolved son was missing, he started searching every inch of the western foxnds and even killed many tribesmen of the other two tribes at that time." ''I need to find a way to escape from here along with the little fox. As long as I have him, I can get the item that mindless bastard was holding onto.'' Even though he was speaking about the past events for Ajax, the fox guardian''s mind was thinking of a n to capture the three-eyed ghost fox and escape from the peak elite general realm spirit beast. Nevertheless, the fox guardian tried his best to conceal his thoughts as he continued to exin while pointing at the three-eyed ghost fox on Ajax''s shoulder, "While searching every inch of the western foxnds for him, his father found three items which are sought by the summoner group''s people." "So, that moment his father picked up those three items, the summoner group''s people senses that energy fluctuations from our wester foxnds and soon they appeared in this region." The fox guardian stopped for a moment to take a breath before continuing, "They asked his father to return those items; however, his father, the tribe leader of the ghost fox, was very angry and could not differentiate between what is good and what is bad and refused to give those items to them." "Of course, how can the summoner group have the time to convince him? So, they directly used the force and killed all the subordinates of the tribe leader leaving him with no choice. So, he used two of the items which he found in his search to kill the three men summoner team before escaping with the three items." "After that, many summoners started appearing in this region and took control over the western foxnds. They started developing the other two fox tribes to hunt the ghost fox'' tribe leader along with the rest of his tribe members." Ajax raised his brows from time to time and there were even times, he was surprised a few times like why Ghost''s father didn''t return the items he found; instead, chose to go against a powerful summoner''s group. ''Looks like the summoner''s group who was helping the inhabitants of the five elemental world have other intentions.'' Ajax had already heard about the summoner''s group that helped the inhabitants of the five elemental world. So, Ajax guessed why Ghost''s father chose to go against the powerful summoner group who was always good to them. So, Ajax felt the so-called summoner''s group is not good after all. By the time the fox guardian finished his words, he got an idea and took out a tube artifact and blew it while aiming at the pentapus. Chapter 813: Killing the fox guardian with a needle

Chapter 813: Killing the fox guardian with a needle

''Szz'' A small dart came out of the tube-like artifact and entered into the sponge-like head of the five elemental pentapus. ''Thud'' As soon as the dart entered its body, the pentapus fell to the ground. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast, five elemental pentapus, was poisoned with a high-level heaven grade poison. ''Ding, The five elemental pentapus is going into a deep sleep for the next five minutes until the poison effect wears off. When he saw the first system notification, Ajax was shocked for a second and became a little anxious. However, after seeing the second system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Where did he go?'' After sending the five elemental pentapus back into his inner world and by the time he looked back the old fox guardian was not in his position. ''There he is.'' Ajax looked at his sides and found where the old fox guardian was. Currently, the old fox guardian had already transformed into a grey furred fox and in his mouth, Ajax could see the struggling three-eyed ghost fox. ''Damn it...when did he get Ghost?'' Ajax cursed when he saw that the three-eyed ghost fox which was on his shoulder earlier was now in the mouth of the grey furred fox. "Looks like I need to use full force." Ajax was a little worried about Ghost''s safety; however, after thinking back to the fox guardian''s story about Ghost''s father, he knew that the grey furred fox will not kill Ghost. ''So, he wants to trade Ghost for the items in his father''s hands.'' Aftering to that conclusion, he didn''t waste any time, he summoned one of his elemental spirits, "Cerauno,e out and kill that grey furred fox in one shot." Even though Cerauno was still at level 2 elite elemental spirit general realm, Ajax had enough confidence in him that he could insta-kill the level 8 elite general fox guardian with his skills. "It''s a piece of cake, summoning master." Cerauno revealed a confident smile as he selected the target and without wasting any more time, he used multiple skills in a single second. ''Skill enhancement'' ''Weapon formation'' ''Weapon enchantment'' ''Weapon merge'' With the use of each skill, there were changes in front of Cerauno. First skill used to increase all his skills by one level. Later, he created hundreds of weapons made up of lightning before merging them into a thin but long needle. ''Go.'' Since the grey furred fox had already run too much distance, Cerauno chose a needle which is the lightest weapon he could create by merging hundreds of weapons. ''Looks like I have another three minutes before that peak rank 6 spirit beast wakes. I can reach my secret hideout by that time.'' As for the fox guardian who was currently in his beast form was feeling a little relieved because things went smoother than he thought while capturing the three-eyed ghost fox. Moreover, he was running towards his secret hideout which can even block the senses of a peak rank 6 spirit beast. So, he was thinking about this n and making adjustments for any unknown variables like Ajax. However, who would have thought that Ajax would not run after him and let him run away. ''It''s not his fault. If I had no knowledge about those items and my strongest spirit beast fell down, then I would only worry about the spirit beast and would not bother about other things.'' When he thought about this, the fox guardian was proud of himself. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' While the fox guardian was feeling proud of his own n, a sharp needle with a length of more than 2 meters pierced through his heart. The needle came out of the fox guardian and continued to fly another five hundred meters before disappearing into thin air. The fox guardian thought today was his luckiest day; however, the things he thought of getting disappeared the moment the lightning needle pierced through his heart. "Not bad, Cerauno. Compared to a huge lightning spear, this lightning needle is much faster and it can travel double the distance." As for Ajax, he didn''t even bother to move from his ce as he looked at the fox guardian''s dead body which was lying around two kilometers from him. After seeing the speed of the lightning needle, Ajax praised Cerauno regarding it. ''Swoosh'' While he was talking to Cerauno, Ajax ran towards the dead body to pick the three-eyed ghost fox. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' However, before they could even reach, the ghost fox teleported itself multiple times to reach them. "Sorry. I was a little careless earlier." As soon as the ghost fox fell into his arms, Ajax caressed the smooth ck fur and apologized. "Master, it''s okay. But can you help me while I find my father?" The ghost fox shook its head and asked him in a low voice. "Don''t worry. I will help you." Ajax didn''t have any parents. So, at least he should help his contracted spirit beast in finding his father. "Do you have any idea where your father might be hiding?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked the ghost fox whether it had any idea about his father''s hiding ce. "I think I know a couple of ces which are near to each other; however, if we run to those ces, it will take at least 12 hours." The ghost fox nodded its small head to Ajax''s question and gave a rough approximation to reach the possible hiding ces for the ghost''s fox. "Let''s go there and check for ourselves. Let''s hope we find your father in one of those ces." Ajax nodded his head and decided to rush to those ces because he needed toplete this mission of conquering the western foxnds within five more days. As for why he can''t use Twilight to fly to those ces because it would be too high profile. "Also, Cerauno, transform into human form and retract your elemental spirit presence. I want no one to sense that you are an elemental spirit until I say." He gave an order to Ceruano before walking to the humanoid fox guardian''s dead body. After the fox guardian was killed, his body transformed from the spirit beast form to his original humanoid form. ''Spirit stones, healing pills, random talismans and an insignia?'' Ajax checked the items in the space ring he got from the dead fox guardian and continuously shook his head until he found a grey-coloured insignia. "I can use this insignia to stop attracting attention in the western foxnds." Since he can''t use the ghost fox tribe''s insignia and if he didn''t show any tribe''s insignia, then he would be creating another attraction. So, he decided to use the insignia of the grey furred fox tribe. "Let''s go." Soon, Ajax and Cerauno, who was currently in human form, rushed in a particr direction under the guidance of the ghost fox. .... After Ajax and Cerauno left that ce, a few humanoid foxes appeared. "Tribe leader, someone killed our guardian." One of the fox men shouted at a huge fox man while checking the dead body of the fox guardian killed by Ajax. "Who dares to kill my tribe''s guardian." When the tribe leader saw the dead body, he shouted with an enraged look on his face. ******* DoubleCoN, thanks for the RING. ******* Authors need a little motivation to write more chapters.

Chapter 814: Frey''s Origins

The tribe leader of the grey furred fox tribe became very angry because after the recent development of the Western foxnds, his tribe entered the top 10 and even the top 5 fox tribes would not dare to randomly kill someone from his tribe. Before the summoner''s group arrived in the Western foxnds, he was just a servant in one of the three tribes. Later, with the appearance of the summoner''s group, who picked some talented servants from the two tribes other than the ghost fox tribe and started grooming them. Soon, 28 new fox tribes were formed and with the destruction of the ghost fox tribe, there were 30 fox tribes in the western foxnds. As for the tribe leader of the grey furred fox tribe, he became arrogant because of his achievements and felt no one would mess with him. However, when he saw the dead body of his tribe''s border guardian, he clenched his fists and ordered his subordinates, "Everyone, divide into three teams and search for the killer in three directions." The tribe leader felt the killer would be around level 10 elite general realm. So, he ordered his subordinates to form teams and in each team, there were five level 10 elite general realm fox men. The tribe was confident that their subordinates would not have any problem in killing the killer if they encountered him. "Yes, tribe leader." Everyone nodded their heads and transformed into grey furred foxes before rushing in three directions. "Also, when you find him, crush the talisman and let me know your direction." Before they ran into the distance, the tribe leader shouted at his subordinates and looking at the two subordinates beside him, he ordered, "Let''s go in this direction." After finishing his words, he also rushed into a specific direction. ''Since the fox guardian crushed the talisman, it must be very important. Is it about the ghost fox tribe?'' ''No...it can''t be.'' ''No, I can''t be sure about this.'' ''Why am I worrying too much? As long as I find that killer of my tribe''s guardian, I can find out more about it.'' While running, many thoughts were running in the head of the grey furred fox''s tribe leader. ¡­.. After eight hours, ''Looks like we need to take a rest for some time master to recover our essence.'' After running for eight hours, Cerauno'' spirit consciousness was almost exhausted. Even though he didn''t know about his master''s spirit consciousness, he thought he also needed to refill his spirit consciousness. So, he suggested Ajax take a break. "No, we have to check the locations and find the whereabouts of Ghost''s father. Until then, we can''t rest." However, Ajax shook his head and rejected Cerauno''s suggestion; however, he knew that Cerauno''s spirit consciousness was almost empty. So, while talking to him, Ajax ced his hand on Cerauno''s shoulder and injected the universal essence of nature into his lightning elemental spirit. Generally, an average level 1 general realm cultivator only has 10000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity; however, Ajax had more than double that amount. Moreover, he also has an elite general spirit gourd which has a storage capacity of 200000 units of the essence of nature. So, he just transferred some of it to Cerauno. Soon, Cerauno could feel warm energy entering into his body through the shoulder where Ajax ced his hand. "How about now? Do you still want to take a rest?" Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. "No, summoning master. Let''s go now." The reason he asked Ajax for taking a rest earlier was because of his almost empty spirit consciousness. So, after Ajax helped him in filling his spirit consciousness, Cerauno didn''t want to rest and wanted to continue their journey. "Wait for a second. Where are you going at this hour of the night?" Just as they resumed their journey, they were stopped by a fox man who emitted a demonic aura from him. However, Ajax knew he was a guardian of one of the starting three tribes in the western foxnd, the Demonic fox tribe''s border guardian. Ajax didn''t speak anything; instead, he showed the demonic fox tribe''s guardian a grey coloured insignia. "Oh. So, you are rted to the grey furred fox tribe." After seeing the insignia in Ajax''s hands, the fox guardian stopped releasing his demonic aura. "Yes." Ajax politely nodded his head and replied to him. "However, I suggest you not travel at this hour because the unevolved spirit beasts are very active now. So, find a safe ce and rest for now." After he finished his father, the demonic fox disappeared into the darkness. "Phew...with him, we sessfully fooled eight fox guardians. Let''s go now." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn''t raise any suspicion from the demonic fox tribe''s guardian. Moreover, it was not their fist fooling the fox guardians, the earlier demonic fox guardian was the eighth one whom Ajax fooled with the grey furred fox tribe''s insignia. Soon, Ajax and Cerauno continued to rush in the same direction. From time to time, they could see the bustling tribes in the distance; however, they avoided those tribes and continued to run. ... After another couple of hours, Ajax and Cerauno crossed more than three tribes in their path and they also met the guardians of those tribes one after another. Nevertheless, Ajax used the same trick to fool them and sessfully bypassed them. Somewhere in the western foxnd, "Tribe leader Frey, looks like your tribe is nning something. Can you fill me in about what is happening?" The demonic fox tribes'' guardian saw the grey furred tribe leader in a distance. So, he walked towards him and asked what the grey furred tribe was doing in the middle of the night. The grey furred tribe leader''s name is Frey and when he saw the fox guardian, Frey could not help but reveal a fearful expression on his face; however, he suppressed it as soon as possible. "What are you doing here, Godfather?" Frey respectfully asked the old demonic fox guardian. "Oh. You are still as polite as you are before leaving the tribe." The demonic fox guardian revealed a satisfied look on his face when he heard the grey furred fox'' tribe leader called him Godfather. Before being selected by the people from the summoner''s group, Frey was just a servant and the old demonic fox guardian was the trainer for the servants from that tribe. His training used to be very severe and failing toplete the daily training within the given time, the punishment would have been even more severe. So, almost everyone was fearful of this demonic fox guardian. As for Frey, among all the servants, he was the most diligent and trained very hard which gained him the recognition of the old demonic fox. So, when the summoners were selecting the young talents from the tribe, he staked his own position in the tribe and made the summoners pick Frey. From that moment onwards, Frey called the old demonic fox his godfather and without him, he would be still in the demonic fox tribe as a servant for his entire life. ***** Sessfully reached level 1 in win-win events.

Chapter 815: Searching the locations for Ghost''s father

After bing a peak level 10 elite general realm cultivator, there were some changes in the behaviour of Frey, like acting arrogant and getting angry for even small things. Nevertheless, when ites to his godfather, Frey didn''t show the slightest bit of arrogance and acted polite even when he was more powerful than the old demonic fox. "If every student is like you, who never forgets their trainer, it would be good." The old demonic fox revealed a slight smile with an expectant look on his face; however, he knew that it was impossible. "I was given the task to be the border guardian." Nevertheless, the old demonic fox guardian answered Frey''s question. ''What?'' When he heard the reply from his Godfather, Frey''s expression became ugly because the task of guarding the border is given to those lowly tribe members who came to the end of their life and expended all their potential. Even though his godfather became old and didn''t have much potential in breaking into the King realm, he was still a high-level tribe member with many years of experience. So, by rule, he would not be assigned the task of guarding the border. "Is it because of me?" Frey didn''t have to think about it for much time before he thought of something and asked. "No no no. It has nothing to do with you." Hearing those words, the old fox man became a little anxious and shook his head denying his words. "Sigh" Frey sighed because he could see his godfather was lying. "Damn it...I will make the demonic fox tribe pay for this." Clenching his fists, Frey muttered in a low voice but it was clearly heard by the old fox man. "No. You should not do anything like that. The tribe gave me too much and even you. So, even if you don''t help it, you should not harm it." The old fox man asked Frey to not try anything funny with the demonic fox tribe. If he did, Frey would die before he could even move a single pir of his tribe. Compared to the grey furred fox tribe, the demonic fox tribe had more than a thousand years of legacy and it had many old cultivators sleeping in the tribe. So, he didn''t want Frey to risk his life when he was on a path to bing a King realm. "Anyway, let''s stop talking about myself. What happened to you? Why are you roaming here in the middle of the night?" Soon, the old demonic fox guardian asked Frey. "I was searching for a killer who killed my tribe''s border guardian." "What?" When he heard Frey''s words, the old demonic fox frowned a little. "Coming to think of it, did your tribe have human visitors today?" The old demonic fox felt something was not right and thought back to Ajax and Cerauno who showed Grey furred fox tribe''s insignia. "No. Why?" Frey shook his head and asked the old demonic fox about it. "Looks like I knew who killed your tribe''s guardian." The demonic fox guardian didn''t waste any time as he said to Frey and others, "Follow me. I will exin to you along the way." ... As for Ajax, they didn''t have any idea that they were being followed in the exact same direction by Frey and others. "With the guardian from earlier, we have totally fooled 25 of them." Ajax said to Cerauno with a slight smile on his face while running in the west. From the moment he entered the western foxnds, Ajax and Cerauno were running in the same direction while changing their directions a little whenever any tribe came in their way. However, in the end, their final destination was the western part of the western foxnds. "Master, that is the location." After running for another one hour, Ajax heard the ghost fox''s words which made him heave a sigh of relief. "Finally, we reached the first location." Ajax stopped running as he stretched his body a little and spoke with great excitement. In front of him, there was a vastnd and it waspletely covered with grass of around two meters. "Master, you wait here. I will go and check whether my father is there or not?" As soon as the ghost fox finished its words, he came out of the inner world as though it was nothing and rushed into the endless grasnds in front of him. ''Sigh...how can ite out of my inner world without my permission?'' Ajax still didn''t have a clue how the three-eyed ghost fox was able toe out and enter the inner world on its own wishes. Nevertheless, Ajax was not angered by those actions; however, the question ''How Ghostes in and goes out of his inner world on its own.'' He just wanted to know about it. ''Swoosh'' "Master, let''s go to the next location. He is not here." While he was still in his thoughts, the three-eyed ghost fox teleported himself into Ajax''s arms. "Cerauno, let''s go." Seeing that Ghost was not in a mood to talk, Ajax didn''t ask him anything before ordering Cerauno. "Swoosh" Soon, they came to the second location; however, just like the first location, there was no good news for them. They continued to search for all the possible locations for the secret base for Ghost''s father; however, their luck was not so good as they didn''t find the slightest clue regarding Ghost''s father. "Ghost, think carefully and try to remember. Your father must have told you about some secret location in the past. Just calm down for a second and try to think for that ce." From the beginning, the three-eyed ghost fox was anxious and Ajax thought that Ghost was missing something. So, he tried to help the three-eyed ghost fox in calming down by injecting his essence of nature. "Is that a ghost fox? Hurry, inform the tribe leader." "Not only the tribe leader, summon all our tribe members, but there might also be other ghost fox tribe members." "But it has three eyes." "Idiot, it must have been mutated but it is still a ghost fox, right? And did you forget that if he sees any of the ghost foxes, we should crush the talisman that will alert him." All of a sudden, two fox men with red ears and red tails shouted when their eyesnded on the three-eyed ghost fox. They continued to talk without bothering about Ajax because in their eyes, Ajax was not at all; however the middle-aged man beside Ajax looked a little bit difficult to deal with because they were unable to sense the cultivation of that middle-aged man. "Master, looks like we have to kill them before otherse." Cerauno was not bothered about the two level 9 elite general realm red fox men; what he feared was the tribe leaders of these fox tribes. "Absolute darkness." Ajax nodded his head at Cerauno and used his dark elemental skill on the two elite fox men making them experience pain from endless nightmares; however, that effect didn''tst much longer because of the cultivation gap between Ajax and them was huge. "Spatial des, 10000 units of the essence of nature." Chapter 816: Fire element world, Flying fortress.

Chapter 816: Fire element world, Flying fortress.

As soon as he heard the words of some red fox men in the distance, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he used the spatial des skill with 50 percent. Even though the red fox men were level 5 and level 8 elite general realm, they didn''t expect a portal to appear right in front of their face which disfigured their face. By the time the spatial des stoppeding out of the portal, their heads were separated from their bodies. "Let''s go before otherse here." Even though Ajax had enough confidence to fight an entire tribe or even three tribes; however, if all thirty tribes attacked him at once, he had to abandon the mission and escape from the five elemental world. Moreover, the western foxnds are currently under the control of some summoner group and after learning how that group was able to groom 28 tribes to a level where they could be on par with the three original tribes of the western foxnds which had many decades of legacy in only a few years. So, he didn''t want to face them because he entered the elite general realm and if possible, he didn''t want to encounter them until he became a king realm cultivator. ''I can''t even gauge the cultivation strength of that Ren and I don''t know how powerful the summoner group can be.'' After meeting Ren, Ajax finally understood Edmond''s words of having as many trump cards as possible because we never know when we encountered a powerful cultivator. If the powerful cultivator is a rational person like Ren, it will not be a problem; however, if he is an insane person and an irrational one, then you will not see another day. So, without wasting any time, he ran away with the ghost fox in his hands. .... Very far from the five elemental world, there was a world that was much bigger than the five elemental world. The world is called the Fire element world. It was not a greater world but after 100 or so years, it might be a greater world. Even though it was entirely filled withva and ck rocks, there was life in it. Starting from the trees, there were many inhabitants like fire gnolls, fire chimeras and many more level races that were serving a few humans who were wearing red-coloured robes. Only because of them, this smaller world not only became a normal world but was closer to bing the greater world. In this fire element world, there was a huge flying fortress around the size of a small city. Inside that fortress, there was a huge cultivation chamber in which a human was sitting cross-legged with many high-level spirit stones hovering around him. "Master, earlier, our formations in the western foxnds detected a ghost fox and when I took a closer look, I saw it was a mutated ghost fox. I am guessing that it must be the child of that baster tribe leader." Another human in red robes entered the huge cultivation chamber and said a few words which made the cultivating human open his eyes. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' As soon as he opened his eyes, all the high-level spirit stones hovering around him disintegrated into nothing. "How sure are you about your guess?" The middle-aged man stood up from his ce after opening his eyes and looking at the young man in front of him, the middle-aged man asked him. "Master red, I am 50 percent sure as I can''t use the mirror screen for much longer." The young man thought for a moment and replied to the middle-aged man. "It is enough to get alert." The middle-aged man named Red nodded his head and continued saying, "Inform all 28 tribes we groomed to search for that ghost fox. If they dared to do anything funny after getting their hands on the ghost fox, I will show them the true torture." "Their lives belong to us, Master Red. If they try doing anything funny, we can kill them with a thought." The red-robed young man revealed an evil smile on his face as he replied to the middle-aged man. "However, there is a summoner with that ghost fox. Even though the summoner is just a level 2 general realm cultivator, he had a lightning elemental spirit with a strength of level 2 elite elemental spirit general." While the middle-aged man was nodding his head when the young man called the tribes they groomed as ves, the young man informed the middle-aged man about Ajax and Cerauno. "Huh? An abnormal summoner? Interesting." When he heard thest sentence of the young man, Master Red rubbed his chin with an interesting look on his face. Summoners and elemental spirits are ssified into many types. Among them, abnormal summoner and normal summoner is one type of ssification. A normal summoner is a summoner who had the elemental spirits below his own cultivation; whereas the summoner with elemental spirits that had higher cultivations than the summoners is called an abnormal summoner. Even though abnormal summoners are not rare, still they have their own advantages. "I think you need to take a trip to the five elemental world, Derrick." After thinking for some time, Master Red said to the young man in front of him with a serious look on his face as he continued saying, "Try your best to convince him to join our organization. If he didn''t want to join, then you know what to do, right?" "Yes, Master Red. I hope I can seed in pulling this abnormal summoner into our organisation." As for the young man named Daerrirk, he nodded his head. Even though Ajax''s cultivation was low, Master Red felt there were many cultivation resources in his possession that could help another reach level 8 to level 10 elite general realm in the shortest time. So, he wanted Ajax to join his organization where Master Red could groom him depending on Ajax''s cultivation talent. "I will take my leave now, Master Red." Soon, Derrick left the cultivation chamber and started making preparations to leave the fire element world to five elemental world. ''As long as I am right about the mutated ghost fox as the tribe leader''s offspring, then we can find those three artifacts.'' ''If I really bring back those artifacts, my position as the fire fortress''s next master will be consolidated.'' ''Moreover, if I can convince the abnormal summoner to join our organisation, as the referrer, I will instantly get 1000 contribution points andter whenever he aplishes something, I will get a portion of contribution points.'' Derrick was looking forward to his trip to the five elemental world because this might be his life-changing opportunity. The reason why he was very sure that Ajax would aplish many things in the future was that three abnormal summoners had already joined their organization in the past. All three referrers of these abnormal summoners were well settled with the passive contribution points they were getting for the abnormal summoner''s achievements. So, Derrick thought the same. ''Just thinking about it makes me feel excited.'' With an excited smile on his face, he entered into the control chamber of the flying fortress. ***** KingRig, thanks for the POTION.

Chapter 817: Entering the tailed spirit fox tribe''s territory

# Extra chapter for Win-win event "Send an announcement to all our ves in western foxnds of the five elemental world regarding the ghost fox. Also, open the portal for me to go there." As soon as Derrick entered the control chamber, he ordered the low-level cultivators about some things. "Yes, young chief. We will do as you say." When there was only Derrick, the low-level cultivators called him ''Young chief'' to be in his good books and whenever he heard those words, Derrick would reveal an ear to earugh before revealing a proud look as he nodded his head at them. ''Swoosh'' "Young chief, the portal to the five elemental world is now open. You can enter it." "All the best to you, young chief." Soon, a huge portal appeared at one corner of the control chamber and as soon as it opened, all the low-level cultivators who were in charge of the control chamber wished them to seed in their mission. "I will." With a proud look on his face, Derrick entered the portal and his words contained a lot of confidence as though he wouldplete the mission given by Master Red. .... In the five elemental world, Ajax, who was running the western foxnds didn''t have a single clue that he was already found out by the summoner group. "Ghost, did you remember anything?" As for him, he was worried about finding Ghost''s father as soon as possible. So, he asked the three-eyed ghost fox about it. "Master, there is a ce where my father would hide; however, it was very risky to go there. So, I didn''t mention it earlier." When Ghost heard Ajax''s question, he remained silent for a moment before saying those words. "What kind of risk is that?" Ajax slowed down a little as he questioned the ghost fox. "That cees under the territory of the Tailed spirit fox tribe. That tribe was very strong before I was kidnapped." Soon, the ghost fox started exining some more things, "My father said that ce is exactly 100 kilometers from the tailed spirit fox tribe and unlike the other two tribes of that time, this tailed spirit fox tribe is very territorial. Not only other beings, but even the other fox tribes should not enter into their territory." "Moreover, there would be a high-level guardian for every 10 killometers. Even though it is not a problem for us to enter that ce after killing those guardians, it will mobilize the entire army of the tailed spirit fox." "Oh." Ajax nodded his head and changed the directions towards the ce where Ghost''s father might be hiding. However, the problem is there will be many fox guardians of the tailed spirit fox tribe who would kill anyone who enters into their territory without the permission of their tribe. ''If it mobilizes the entire tailed spirit fox tribe, then let it be. As long as there is a small chance of finding Ghost''s father, I will take the risk. Moreover, if the worstes to worst, I have a backup n already.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he decided to take the risk. ''Also, if it is just a single tribe, I can fight their army with my own army.'' Since there was no king realm cultivator in the western foxnds, he also gained a powerful spirit beast that has five elementalws, aftering to the five elemental world. So, facing armies of two or three is not a big problem for him. "Ghost, directions please." From time to time, Ajax would ask directions from the three-eyed ghost fox because he had gone to that ce once with his father when the tailed spirit fox tribe leader had invited them. "By the way, how did your father find the ce and why didn''t he inform the tailed spirit fox tribe." While they were running, Ajax casually asked about the ce. The ghost fox started with them going into the tailed spirit fox''s tribe for a feast hosted by its leader. Even though they just went to meet the tailed spirit fox tribe''s leader to have a simple feast, Ghost''s father found a nice ce which was hidden in the in sight of the tailed spirit fox tribe. However, Ghost''s father didn''t inform him about that ce which he found by chance because it is a quasi mid-level spirit stone. Quasi mid-level spirit stone mines can produce more than 10 mid-level spirit stones per year and if Ghost''s father informed the tailed spirit fox tribe about the mine, then they will be even more powerful and then they will suppress the other two tribes. So, the ghost fox''s father didn''t inform about the spirit stone mine and hid it from the tailed spirit fox tribe. "Oh so, it is like that." Soon, Ghost started exining everything and Ajax started to get a rough understanding of how Ghost and his father found a ce right under the nose of the tailed spirit fox tribe. "ording to your words, I can say that this ce is a well-hidden one." Ajax said that because even the tailed spirit fox tribesmen were unable to find it. So, Ajax thought it was a well-hidden ce and said, "I think we can find your father there." "But I am thinking about the tailed spirit fox tribe, master." When it heard Ajax''sst words, the ghost fox''s dted ck pupils shone for a moment; however, the ghost fox was worried about the tailed spirit fox tribe''s army. "Don''t worry, no one under the King realm can do nothing to him." Currently, Ajax has many trumps which can protect him. One, Elegant walker''s summoner scroll. Two, The primeval ent''s three fruits which can temporarily increase his strength by one realm, block any attacks under the king realm for some time andst fruit can even summon a peak elite general cultivator to fight for him for five minutes. Third, the five elemental pentapus with peak elite general strength along with five elementalws, Fourth, the puppet he gained from the battle tower of Elder Esmund, has the strength of level 8 elite general realm. Fifth, his army of elemental spirits and contracted spirits. And hisst trump card was to escape from this world through the portal. Overall, he was not worried about anything except finding Ghost''s fox. However, the three-eyed ghost fox didn''t know about these many trump cards which his master had in his arsenal. So, he was worried about it. At the same time, the ghost fox was excited because he was finally going to meet his father. ¡­ While Ajax was running into the tailed spirit fox tribe''s territory, all the 28 tribes which were groomed by the summoner''s group received an important mission from one of the summoner group''s side bases. "We have to find the ghost fox." "Otherwise, the summoner group is saying that it will erase all the tribes if the ghost fox escapes." "What the hell? Are they thinking we are their ves just because they help our tribes to grow?" "Idiot, they clearly mentioned that they will kill us if they don''t capture it." 90 percent of the wester foxnds was in turmoil with the mission from the summoner''s group. Chapter 818: Reunion of a father and son

Chapter 818: Reunion of a father and son

All the tribes that were groomed by the summoner''s group were alerted and right now, they only have a single mission and it is to catch the ghost fox. ording to the information they got, the ghost fox that appeared in the western foxnds was the son of the tribe leader of the ghost fox tribe. Many tribe leaders were having second thoughts about catching the ghost fox. ''As long as I can trade the ghost fox for the three artifacts that the summoner group badly wants, maybe Ii can enter the king realm or even more powerful than that.'' This thought shed in the heads of all 28 tribe leaders from time to time except for Frey, the grey furred fox tribe leader. Because, unlike others, he will not forget who helped him. Without the summoner''s group, he would have been in the demonic fox tribe as a servant or guard to protect someone or something. So, as long as he received any mission from the summoner''s group. Frey wouldplete them even when he knew that items or things he got from the mission were valuable. Soon, everyone mobilized their armies and ordered them to search the entire western foxnds without wasting any time. ... As for Ajax, he had long entered into the tailed spirit fox tribe''s territory and he was only 10 kilometers from his destination. ''Cerauno, take care of him.'' All of a sudden, Ajax gave amand to his lightning elemental spirit without looking at the enemy. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Cerauno had killed more than six guardians from the tailed spirit fox tribe without any mercy. Just like that, Cerauno had killed another one because if he didn''t kill them, they would kill him and his elemental spirit. So, Ajax didn''t show any mercy. "Master, do you see the small trees there? We are finally here." After running for another few minutes, the three-eyed ghost who was silently guiding them shouted with an excited look on his face. "Here?" Ajax was surprised to hear those words because the surroundings of the ce they were standing right now lookedmon and peaceful. "Yes, master. Did you see that fourth tree in the third row? The entrance to that ce is hidden there." The ghost fox jumped out of Ajax''s arms and pointing at a tree, informed Ajax about the entrance to a hidden spirit stone mine. ''No wonder even when a quasi mid-level spirit stone mine was right under their nose, the tailed spirit fox tribe was unable to find it.'' Looking at the tree which was toomon, Ajax thought to himself. All the trees around them looked the same and there was nothing of value in this ce. So, there was no one guarding it for nearly 10 killometers radius of this ce. "Let''s go." Soon, the ghost fox tapped the tree in various ces before doing the same thing with the ground below it. ''Rumble'' All of a sudden, a low rumbling sound came out of nowhere and before they could know what was happening, Ajax and Cerauno fell into a hole that appeared below them out of nowhere. ''Aargh'' It was so sudden that Ajax could not help but shout out loud in response; however, he used one of the effects of the lightning cloud steps to fly in the air. As for Cereauno, he was also shouted before summoning a lightning sh and stood on it which stopped him from down. ''Swoosh'' Unlike them, the three-eyed ghost fox was freely falling on the ground and all of a sudden it disappeared and within the next second, it appeared on the ground. ''Looks like the ghost fox hase more than once to this ce.'' Looking at the ghost fox''s antics, Ajax silently thought to himself. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything and used the teleport effect from the same cultivation technique to appear on the ground. "Father, I am here." As soon as the ghost foxnded on the ground, he started shouting for his father. As for Ajax and Cerauno, they were observing the spirit stone mine which was emitting a rich dark essence of nature. The spirit stone mine looked like a regr stone mine; however, there were many ck crystals shining in the cave which gave enough lighting for Ajax and the other two to see. Even though they were all dark elemental spirit stones, Ajax and others were able to see in that light. "What a rich essence of nature!" Ajax muttered in a low voice and thought, ''No wonder, Ghost''s father didn''t want to inform the tailed spirit fox tribe about it because this spirit stone mine is a perfect cultivation spot for dark elemental beings like ghost fox.'' ''Should I summon my dark elemental summons?'' "Son" Just as Ajax thought about summoning his dark elemental beings under him, he heard a crude but calm voice from the depths of the spirit stone mine. "Father." As soon as the three-eyed ghost fox heard that voice, it became excited and rushed into the direction from where that voice came from. "Looks like we finally found Ghost''s father." Ajax looked at Cerauno and said to him with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, summoning master; however, I think going back to the Shixato wilds will not be easy." Cerauno nodded his head and worried about going back to the Shixato wilds. "Don''t worry, everything will work out." Ajax shook his head at Cerauno''s worry and followed in the direction of the ghost fox. "I should really summon all the dark beings under me." Soon, they entered too deep into the spirit stone mine and they sensed that the deeper they go into the spirit stone mine, the richer the essence of nature was. Aftering to a conclusion, Ajax thought of summoning them; however, he put that thought on hold because of a system notification. ''Ding, Using all the spirit stones in the quasi mid-level spirit stone mine, the host can upgrade the dark elemental paradise to grade 4. Do you want to do it? ''What?'' Ajax halted in his steps when he saw the system notification. Because the dark elemental essence of nature in a grade 3 dark elemental paradise was already very rich. So, when he saw the system notification, he was shocked for a moment before being surprised by it. However, he didn''t agree to it because the spirit stone is not his and it was not even found by him. ''First, I will meet him and then think about this spirit stone mine.'' So, taking it without the permission of the one who found it seemed like a bad idea for him. In the end, Ajax decided to wait until he met Ghost''s father. Without wasting any time, Ajax and Cerauno walked deeper into the spirit stone mine. Finally, after walking for a few moments, Ajax could see a muscr middle-aged man with ck fox ears along with a ck tail whose tip was white in colour. "You must be the summoner who took care of my son all these years." As soon as the muscr middle-aged man saw Ajax, he walked towards Ajax with Ghost in his hands and spoke to him. Chapter 819: Upgrading the dark elemental paradise

Chapter 819: Upgrading the dark elemental paradise

Looking at the humanoid ghost fox, Ajax nodded his head and said with a slight smile on his face, "Looks like Ghost had said everything about me." "No" However, to Ajax''s surprise, the humanoid ghost fox shook his head. "Then?" Ajax was confused a little as he asked him with a strange look on his face. "I knew because of this." While saying that, Ghost''s father, Errol took out a round mirror with Gold coating on its back. "This is one of the three artifacts that I got while searching for you, my son." He didn''t wait for others to ask about the mirror as he continued to exin about it. "This thing can predict the future of certain beings as long as we pay the right price. So, all this time, I was not worried about my son''s safety because I knew I will meet him when the right timees." "So, I waited for you toe here. ording to this mirror, my son will form a contract with a unique summoner who will make the reunion between me and my son." By the time Errol finished his words, his dted ck eyes turned misty. Even though he knew that his son was safe and they would meet after a few years, Errol missed his son a lot. Moreover, he thought of not showing his tears in reunion with his son; however, no matter how much he wanted to suppress them, they won''t stoping out of his eyes. "Father, don''t cry. I am back now and no one will separate us." Seeing his father who used to be always strict with him, even Ghost started crying while trying to stop his father''s cry. ''A parent''s love is something which I can''t get in this life.'' Looking at him, Ajax felt happy for Ghost because Ajax didn''t even know his parents and he thought he would get some information on his parents from the old voice in his head. However, after his breakthrough into the general realm, there was no reply from the old voice which made him think that he got fooled by the old voice because he promised that as long as he sessfully endured the pain in breaking through into the general realm, he would talk about Ajax''s parents. "Let''s not stay here any longer." All of a sudden, Errol said those words. "Isn''t this ce hidden?" Ajax asked with a frown on his face because he thought this ce was quite hidden. Moreover, Errol had hidden in this ce for years. So, how can this ce be exposed all of a sudden? ''If the summoner''s group were watching us entering this ce, then all the tribes would know the location of this ce.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to figure out why they had to leave this quasi mid-level spirit stone all of a sudden. "So, are you saying that you don''t have any use with this spirit stone mine?" Ajax didn''t think much about beings surrounded by the fox tribes but when he heard Errol''s words of leaving the spirit stone mine, Ajax''s eyes lit up as he asked Errol with an excited look on his face. "I already collected around 100 mid-level spirit stones after staying here for a few years and only used one or two mid-level spirit stones when required. Even though it is a loss, we don''t have enough time to pick all the stones." Errol exined how conservatively he used the mid-level spirit stone over thest few years for his son''s sake and continued saying, "So, I should be content with 100 mid-level spirit stones and nearly a million spirit stones in my space ring." At the end of his sentence, Errol revealed a bitter look because he didn''t want to waste so many spirit stones. However,pared to his son''s life, it is not worth a thing for him. "Excellent." Ajax became excited when he heard Errol''s words because he could not use the spirit stone mine to upgrade his elemental paradise to grade 4. "For this moment of time, I was making a tunnel for 100 miles and luckily, I finished it just a few days ago. So, follow me." As soon as he finished his words, Errol carried his son in his arms and rushed even deeper into the spirit stone mine. "As for Ajax, he looked at them for a moment, Cerauno follow them and protect them until Ie." Without wasting any time, he gave an order to the lightning elemental spirit beside him and before Cerauno could ask him any questions, Ajax interrupted him and said, "Don''t ask me any questions and go now." As for him, he followed the system''s suggestions to reach the center of the spirit stone mine within a minute. ''System, use this spirit stone mine and upgrade my ''Mini dark abyss'' into a grade 4 elemental paradise.'' After reaching the center of the spirit stone mine, Ajax ordered the system to upgrade his elemental paradise. ''Ding, Detected a quasi mid-level spirit stone. ''Ding, The spirit stone mine can naturally be a mid-level spirit stone mine within 10 years. Do you want to still use it to upgrade your elemental paradise? ''Huh?'' Instead of upgrading, the system asked for his confirmation by saying that the current spirit stone mine will evolve into a mid-level spirit stone which made Ajax frown. ''Aren''t you the one who gave me the idea to upgrade my elemental paradise? Then why are you asking this question?'' Ajax was a little annoyed when he saw the system notification; however, he controlled his emotions and said, "I will choose to upgrade my elemental paradise to grade 4." If he had 10 years of time, Ajax would have not used this spirit stone mine to upgrade his elemental paradise but the sad thing is in 10 years he might be a king realm cultivator where mid-level spirit stones will be of no use for him. Moreover, since the summoner''s group had already found this ce, he can''t freely excavate this spirit stone. So, he chose to upgrade his elemental paradise which will help his dark summons a lot. ''Ding, The upgrading process of the elemental paradise using a quasi mid-level spirit stone is started. ''Ding, The host has to stay at the center of the spirit stone mine for five minutes. Please refrain from moving your ce. Just as he agreed to upgrade his elemental paradise, Ajax got two system notifications; however, when he saw the second system notification, he frowned a little. ''Cerauno, I need five more minutes to move from here. Take care of them.'' Without wasting any time, he ordered Cerauno to take care of Ghost and his father because he knew that the lightning elemental spirit can take care of any level 10 elite general realm cultivator who didn''t learn any elementalw. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Cereauno nodded his head as he sent back his thoughts to Ajax. "Errol, we know you are hiding here. If youe out and hand over the three artifacts that belong to the summoner''s group, we can promise you that the summoner''s group will let you and your son leave from here in one piece." All of a sudden, a loud voice came from above the ground making Ajax frown. Chapter 820: Special effect triggered

Chapter 820: Special effect triggered

''There are already here?'' With a frown on his face, Ajax thought to himself. Even though he knew all the tribes woulde to their location, he didn''t expect that they woulde so soon. ''Let it be. At least I will stall for some time until Ghost and others leave the underground tunnel.'' Nevertheless, he was not bothered about it and waited for the elemental paradise upgrade to finish. "Still three more minutes." Ajax muttered to himself and hoped that the cultivators from the 28 fox tribes woulde underground aste as possible because ording to the system he should not move from his ce until the upgrade is finished. "Anyway, for the safe side, I will summon some of my summons." Even though he can''t move, it was not the same for his summons. So, without thinking much, he called out a few of his summons'' names. "Penta, Volcanis, Necros, Bane. Come out." He called out all strongest elemental spirits along with the strongest spirit beast, the five elemental pentapus. Even though these three elemental spirits didn''t learn any elementalw yet, they have no problem in taking care of level 5 to level 8 elite general realm cultivators. Moreover, with their unique skills, they might even go against level 10 elite general realm cultivators. "Everyone, they are hiding beneath us. Let''s destroy this ce and search for them." Since they didn''t get any reply from Ajax and others from the underground spirit stone mine, the tribe leaders of the 28 fox tribes became annoyed and soon, one of the tribe leaders came up with a n to destroy the ground below them. They didn''t know there was a spirit stone mine beneath them. All they knew was that the ghost fox tribe leader''s son entered into a hidden entrance to the underground. At least that''s what they got informed by one of the bases of the summoner''s group. "That''s right! Let''s do it." "Let''s get that bastard and get the three artifacts." As soon as they heard the idea of destroying thend beneath them, everyone became excited and started destroying the ground beneath them. ''Boom'' ''Rumble'' Soon, the exploding sounds along with the rumbling sounds started resounding the spirit stone mine. ''Looks like they started entering into the spirit stone mine. Except for Necros, everyone goes and kills anyone that enters this spirit stone mine.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax gave orders to the summons he summoned earlier and at the same time, he silently asked the system about the time until the elemental paradise finishes its upgrade. ''Ding, Two minutes thirty seconds left until the elemental paradise is upgraded to grade 4. ''You can do it, guys.'' He encouraged his summons that they could stall him for another two minutes thirty seconds. Nodding their heads, except for Necros, everyone left Ajax and rushed towards the direction in which the noises were loud. ''Haunting phoenix coil.'' Volcanis started with his self-learned technique when he saw a couple of level 6 elite general realm fox men. As soon as he did that, a huge fire phoenix came off his fire sword and wrapped around them and entered into their bodies. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' As soon as the fire phoenix entered into their bodies, they started seeing nightmares that started haunting them. ''Fireball.'' With a thought, Volcanis used the most basic skill as he ended the suffering of the two fox tribesmen in front of him. ''Five elemental poison.'' ''Viper.'' At another location of the spirit stone mine, Bane threw the five coloured order at the group of fox men in the distance and before the five elemental poison could reach them, he used his rank 6 poison snake to rush behind the poison orb. ''Aargh'' Wherever the five elemental poison orb and the green snake passed, everyone would be dead in that ce. ''Swoosh'' As for the five elemental pentapus, its tentacles elongated into the distance and instantly choked five fox men to death before using Fireball to destroy the bodies of those fox men. ''Ding, Killed a group of steel w fox tribesmen. ''Ding, Killed a group of water fox tribesmen. . . . . ''Ding, Killed a group of tailed spirit fox tribesmen. As for Ajax, he was in the same position from the start and received continuous system notifications regarding the kills of his summons. However, there were a couple of particr system notifications that surprised him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for triggering one of the special effects of the mysterious spirit cultivation technique. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness''s capacity has increased by 1100 units. ''Waoh'' Ajax was quite excited when he checked these system notifications because he was waiting for this effect to be triggered. ''Isn''t that special effect has a 10 percent chance? Or am I mistaken?'' Even though he was excited at the start, after thinking about the chances of triggering that effect, Ajax felt he was fooled by the system. Nevertheless, he opened the information on the cultivation technique to check it. ''Ding, Cultivation technique:- Mysterious spirit cultivation technique (Level 3). Effects:- 1) 1000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity increment every time the host breaks through a single minor realm irrespective of the capacity gained from the breakthrough. 2)? 5000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity increment every time the host breaks through a single major realm irrespective of the capacity gained from the breakthrough. Special effect:- 10 percent chance of gaining 10 percent of the spirit consciousness capacity of the enemy killed by the host. Next upgrade:- Need 50000 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the technique to level 4. "I am right! It is a 10 percent chance; however, I killed more than 300 beings after upgrading the cultivation technique to level 3. So, why does this special effect trigger only once?" Ajax was confused and started thinking about while his summons were killing whoever dares to enter the spirit stone. ''Ding, The dark elemental paradise is upgraded to grade. Please check the information on it in the host interface. ''Finally, it is done.'' As soon as he received the ''upgradepletion'' system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as ordered his summons, ''let''s go and meet up with others. Don''t forget to kill the enemies? in front of you.'' Since they can''t continuously kill the fox men who seemed toe endlessly. So, Ajax ordered his summons to kill the enemies in front of them before joining him. ''Yes, master.'' Everyone nodded their heads and used one of their stronger skills to kill everyone in front of them before rushing deep into the spirit stone. Soon, they joined with Ajax who stored them in his inner world. ''Lightning cloud steps'' ''Effect 1, speed enhancement, activate.'' ''Effect 2, teleportation activate with a break of 10 seconds between each of? them." As soon as he stored his summons back into his inner world, he used his movement technique to enhance his speed along with teleportation, his speed was very fast. ''With my current speed, I think I can cover the distance between me and them within two minutes.'' Ajax could gauge the distance between them with the help of the spirit contract with the lightning elemental spirit. Chapter 821: Mirror artifact

Chapter 821: Mirror artifact

"Huf Huf" After running for more than 100 miles in the underground tunnel made by Errol, everyone started breathing heavily and gasped for air. "Why is he taking so long?" As soon as they came out of the underground tunnel, Errol asked Cerauno about Ajax. "Master said that he would be here within a minute." Cerauno replied with a confident look on his face. "He has toe out as soon as possible because I need to destroy this tunnel to cover our tracks." Errol was a little anxious because he just wanted to leave this western foxnds for a few years now. However,? the mirror artifact said that he had to wait in this spirit stone mine for his son''s future. So, he was waiting for his son toe and since he met his son, he wanted to leave the western foxnds as soon as possible because almost all the ces in the western foxnds were under the surveince of the summoner''s group. "I am here." Soon, fifty seconds passed in a sh as Ajax came out of the tunnel. "Excellent." Errol was excited when he saw Ajax and without wasting any time, he took a ck-coloured sphere out of his space ring which was around the size of an adult human''s head before throwing it into the tunnel. ''Boom'' After ten seconds, the entire underground tunnel was destroyed which made Errol heave a sigh of relief. "Let''s go." After that Errol turned around and rushed in a specific direction. "Uncle Errol, aren''t you worried about the summoner''s group who watches everything from their base?" Ajax and Cerauno also followed behind Errol and at the same time, Ajax asked Errol about the surveince of the summoner''s group. "You don''t have to worry about it because this path is the safest one where the summoner''s group can''t watch it." Errol replied with a confident look on his face as he continued to run with the three-eyed ghost fox in his arms. "So, where are we going?" Ajax didn''t know why Errol was so confident that they would be safe by following this path but he didn''t say anything as he followed behind Errol while asking where they were going. "After meeting you, the mirror suggested that we need to go to Shixato wilds and the summoner''s group will not enter our region." Errol replied as he continued to run. ''Shixato wilds? Why?'' Ajax frowned when he heard those words and while running he thought, ''Is it because of Ren?'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered the powerful summoner he met in the Shixato wilds and thought he might be the reason why the summoner''s group would not enter that Shixato wilds. However, he didn''t say anything as he became a little excited to see what the summoner''s group will do when they enter the Shixato wilds. "By the way, Uncle Errol, someone said that you found three artifacts which belong to the summoner''s group. You only showed one where the other two artifacts are." Soon, Ajax remembered the words of the old guardian belonging to the grey furred tribe and asked Errol about the artifacts. "Hm...uh...that is¡­." When he heard Ajax''s words, Errol stuttered as he struggled to answer Ajax. "Is there something wrong, Uncle Errol? If there is any problem, you don''t need to talk about it." Since they only know each other for less than a hour, Ajax didn''t want to ask about something which Errol was notfortable with sharing. So, Ajax said it is okay and there is no need to talk about the artifacts. "It is not like that." Errol shook his head as he started talking about the artifacts, "Actually, the mirror artifact that I showed you swallowed the other two artifacts." "What?" Not only Ajax, but even Cerauno and Ghost were also shocked when they heard Errol''s words. "Yes." Errol started exining what happened to the other two artifacts with a bitter look on his face. "When I got the artifacts, a face formed in this mirror artifact which suggested that as long as I ce the other two artifacts on its reflecting surface, it will show a glimpse of my son''s future." "Even though it showed you and my son meeting me in the spirit stone, it absorbed the two artifacts into the mirror. At that time, I didn''t care about the other two artifacts because I was excited that my son is going to be fine and he wille to me after a few years." Saying until here, Errol looked at his son in his arms and revealed a slight smile as he continued, "However, what I didn''t expect was that these artifacts belong to the summoner''s group." "You should have told the truth to them." Ghost, with his immature voice, replied to his father. "Do you think I didn''t say that?" With a bitter look on his smile, Errol said, "Initially, I thought since the summoner''s group was a bunch of good people who help the poor; however, when I exined what happened to the two other aritfacts, they didn''t believe and directly killed my soldiers." "At that moment, I understood one thing that the so-called summoner''s group is not as good as we thought they were. They even said that if he didn''t hand over all three artifacts, they would destroy my entire tribe. I tried my best to save as many tribesmen as possible from the mass killing of my tribe who were scattered all over the western foxnds; however,ter I found that all my tribesmen who went into hiding were killed by the newly formed fox tribes." By the time he finished his words, Errol clenched his fists because he thought he was powerful enough to save his tribe, but he could not save a single one of his tribesmen. ''Looks like my guess is right! The summoner''s group clearly had other intentions in acting all good and helping the inhabitants of the five elemental world.'' After hearing everything about what happened after Errol finding those three artifacts, Ajax nodded his head because he felt that the summoner''s group is up to something else. So, why would theye to this five elemental world from a greater world? "Anyway, after seeing their true power, I know I can''t even take revenge on them." While maintaining his pace, Errol sighed as he knew he waspletely powerless against a single young man from the summoner''s group. If a more experienced member from the summoner''s group appeared here, they don''t have to think about retorting because those cultivators belong to the king realm and beyond that. ''Ding, New system missions are generated in multiple quest tabs. All of a sudden, Ajax got a system notification and without opening them, he could guess what one of those missions would be. But he didn''t know what kind of missions were generated in the quest tab that belongs to elemental spirits and spirit beasts. So, he opened the system''s quest tab to check the missions. ''Ding, ****** Malikzulhilmi, thanks for the POTION. Eduardo_Morales, thanks for the BALLOON. Ryan_Kraft, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. ****** Sorry for thete update as I was busy with something important this morning. Chapter 822: Kill in three

Chapter 822: Kill in three

''Ding, Mission:- Protect the Summoner''s name and fame Description:- As a summoner, the host must protect the name of a summoner by dealing damage to the summoner''s group. ''As expected.'' Ajax started with the mission he guessed, and since his guess was correct, he didn''t think much about the mission as he looked at the missions from other quest tabs. ''Spirit beast quest tab.'' Next, he selected the quest tab allocated to his contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, Mission name:- Help a friend. Description:- Since the three-eyed ghost fox has lost his entire tribesmen, it generated a small me of revenge in the depths of the three-eyed ghost fox. Help him cool down the mes of revenge by killing those responsible for the destruction of the ghost fox tribe. ''Huh? Simr mission with different words.'' Ajax read the information in front of him and thought to himself as he opened thest quest tab belonging to the elemental spirit. ''Ding, Mission name:- Kill in three moves. Description:- If the elemental spirits kill those who are rted to the destruction of the ghost fox''s tribe in three moves, they will gain spirit points. ''Ding, Rewards list for the mission ''Kill in three moves. For General realm beings:- 1 spirit point for killing in three moves 5 spirit points for killing in two moves. 10 spirit points for killing in one move. ''Ding, For level 1-level 9 Elite general realm beings:- 11 spirit point for killing in three moves 15 spirit points for killing in two moves. 20 spirit points for killing in one move. ''Ding, For level 10 Elite general realm beings:- 10 spirit point for killing in three moves 50 spirit points for killing in two moves. 100 spirit points for killing in one move. Soon, he received the system notifications continuously without any break making his head spin a little when he saw all the system notifications. However, he still checked all of them because the mission in the elemental spirit quest tab is so important for him that it can help me buy some good items from the ''Elemental spirit store''. ''I can buy many good things for my elemental spirits as long as I let my elemental spirits do their job.'' Ajax looked forward to waging war against the fox tribes in the western foxnds because, except for the two fox tribes, the remaining 28 tribes were responsible for the destruction of the ghost fox. Even though the summoner''s group ordered them to kill all the ghost fox''s tribesmen, all the fox men belonging to these 28 tribes were excited about hunting the hidden ghost fox'' tribe. Because the summoner''s group promised very generous rewards in killing the hidden tribesmen of the ghost fox tribe. Moreover, the rewards from those killings made the 28 tribes stronger. So, Ajax was not feeling anything when he thought about erasing the 28 tribes from the western foxnds. ''Since you became powerful while destroying a tribe who are innocent, I will not feel any remorse while destroying you; however, the tricky part is should I kill everyone or leave the fox woman and children?'' ''Ding, The system suggests the host kill everyone; otherwise, even a child can be tomorrow''s powerful cultivators who threaten the host. Just as he was thinking about the women and children of the 28 fox tribes, the system gave the suggestion which made Ajax frown. ''Then what is the difference between them and me?'' Ajax scoffed at the system as he replied to the system. ''Ding, Even powerful cultivators beyond the king realm were killed by the children they pitied and allowed them to leave. Even after this notification, the host still wants to let go of the women and children from those tribes. Then it is your wish. After saying its words, the system didn''t bother to reply to him regarding Ajax''s thinking and left the chance for Ajax to decide. ''Sigh...this is really a tough decision to make.'' Ajax could not help but sigh as he read thest system notification. "So, here you are." All of a sudden, Ajax heard a voice from the sky as he saw a young man in red robes flying on his sword. "How is this possible?" At the same time, Ajax heard Errol say those words when he looked at the red-robed young man. "Do you think a little formation could prevent you from escaping from our eyes?" Looking at the shocked expression on Errol''s face, Derrick scoffed at him as he asked, "Hand over the three artifacts, and on ount of the young summoner beside you, I will let you and your son live. What do you say?" After saying those words, Derrick looked at Ajax with a slight smile on his face, "Hello, young friend. My name is Derrick, and I am the young chief of the Flying fire fortress belonging to the summoner''s group." Even though the three artifacts are important, Derrick knew he thought he should pull Ajax into the summoner''s group at any cost. So, he politely introduced himself to Ajax. "Hello, my name is Ajax." As for Ajax, he reciprocated the same as he introduced himself to Derrick and continued asking, "Young chief Derrick, those two artifacts were swallowed by the mirror artifact. So, I hope you can let them live." "You said that same bullshit to our young friend Ajax?" Derrick frowned when he heard Ajax''s words and looking at Errol, and Derrick shouted as he summoned a red-coloured whip from his spirit consciousness. "Young man, I am telling the truth, and if you don''t like what I am saying, then let''s fight to the death." Errol was already enraged to the point where he wanted to kill Derrick; however, when he looked at his son in his arms, he tried not to fight. At the same time, that doesn''t mean that he would beg him to let him. All Errol wanted right now was to give the mirror artifact back to the summoner''s group and leave from the western foxnds. "I hope you are telling the truth." Soon, Derrick thought about something as he nodded his head and continued saying, "First, give me that mirror artifact ande with me back to the base. So, my master will question you in person about it." Since Errol was saying the same thing about the two artifacts, even though Derrick didn''t believe his words, he didn''t want to push Errol too much in front of Ajax. In front of Ajax, Derrick wanted to look good. So that, when he offers a spot to Ajax in the summoner''s group, Ajax might ept his offer. "No. He can''t go with you." Before Errol could say anything, Ajax replied to Derrick''s words and continued saying, "Swear on your summoner''s heart and say that you will allow everyone to leave from here as soon as you get the mirror artifact." "Huh?" When he heard Ajax''s words, Derrick frowned because he didn''t have any n of letting Errol go after wasting so much of their time for thest few years. So, he frowned as he looked at Ajax. **** MagnusChase2020, thanks for the POTION. Wondy_Anosike, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 823: Ajax Versus Derrick

Chapter 823: Ajax Versus Derrick

For a summoner, if he swears on his summoning heart and breaks the oath, then all his elemental spirits will be forcefully freed and sent back to the elemental spirit world. Since the contract with the elemental spirits will be broken forcefully, the bacsh received by the summoner will be high. Moreover, since it was the summoner''s mistake for breaking an oath, the bacsh received by the elemental spirits will also be diverted to the summoner, which will cause the immediate death of the summoner. So, every summoner will be careful when swearing on their summoner hearts. Even though Ajax didn''t believe that the summoner''s heart is nothing but a myth, almost all the summoners will believe. So, he wanted to make use of it. "I will swear the summoner''s oath on one condition." After thinking for a while, Derrick decided to agree to Ajax''s condition on one condition. "And, what is that?" Errol asked with an expectant look. Since the feud with the summoner''s group can be resolved with just a few words, Errol wanted to resolve it for the sake of his son. "I want young friend Ajax to join my summoner''s group." Derrick said his condition slowly as he continued, "Of course, you will get a special status and many other cultivation resources that can help you reach the peak elite general realm in the shortest time possible." He wanted to sound like that was a generous offer for Ajax and even tempted Ajax with the increment in the cultivation. If there was any other level 2 general realm cultivator in front of Derrick, he would have epted Derrick''s condition with great excitement. However, it was Ajax whose cultivation path was different from all the cultivators. So, for him, the cultivation resources that can increase his cultivation in the shortest time possible are useless. So, without any hesitation, Ajax said, "No." "Do you know what you are rejecting?" When he heard Ajax''s reply, Derrick''s face turned ugly as he looked at Ajax with a serious look on his face and asked Ajax. "I know because I am not suited for your mighty summoner''s group." In Ajax''s words, Derrick could sense a hint of mockery that made him enraged. When Ajax first heard about the summoner''s group, he thought of joining them; however, Ajax thought it was better not to join any organization after entering the general realm. Moreover, after knowing that the summoner''s group is just another organization that shows its tyrannical power on innocent and powerless beings like the ghost fox tribe, he lost interest in joining them. So, he thought it''s better not to join the summoner''s group lest he bes like them. "I will ask you one more time." Suppressing his anger, Derrick looked at Ajax and asked, "Are you sure you don''t want to join my summoner''s group?" "Looks like the summoner''s group only has immature kids who get angry when someone rejects their offer...sigh." Ajax didn''t answer Derrick''s question; instead, he sighed while mocking Derrick for behaving like a little kid. "Fine." All of a sudden, the pressureing from Derrick shot to peak level 10 elite general realm, and while looking at Ajax and others, he said, "Since you have already made up your decision, I will send you on your way to hell." "Unofficial fire squad,e out." However, he didn''t attack Ajax and others because he left most of his fighting to his elemental spirits as a summoner. So, he summoned three fire elemental spirits, and from his words, Ajax could guess these three elemental spirits are unofficial elemental spirits. ''Looks like he stored his official elemental spirit forter, and from the looks of it, his three official elemental spirits must be at level 10 elite elemental spirit general realm.'' Looking at the three unofficial fire elemental spirits in front of him, Ajax gauged the strength of Derrick''s official elemental spirits. "Kill everyone and bring me the mirror artifact." Derrick stood there as he gave orders to his elemental spirits with a calm look on his face. If Ajax joined the summoner''s group, Derrick thought both he and Ajax could have benefited a lot; however, Ajax rejected his offer twice, Derrick lost interest in asking Ajax one more. If a genius rejects the offer to join their organization, they have to kill that genius in any case before he could join another organization. So that, Derrick has to kill Ajax. Also, Derrick likes to kill geniuses like Ajax because it was not his first killing a genius. "Ajax, take Ghost and leave from here. I will take care of these three fire elemental spirits." Before Ajax could do anything, Errol handed the three-eyed ghost fox to him before standing in front of him to fight the fire elemental spirits. "Uncle Errol, you can fight three of them at once. Each one of them has the cultivation of level 10 elite general realm." Ajax shook his head as he walked forward and said, "Just stand aside and let me kill them." "What? But you only have the cultivation of level 2 general realm." Errol frowned when he heard Ajax''s words because Ajax''s strength is low to fight the three elemental spirits. He even thought that the middle-aged man beside Ajax could not defeat even one of the three elemental spirits. "Don''t worry. You will know whether I can kill them or not." With a slight smile on his face, he summoned, "Penta,e out and say hello to our opponents." Ajax didn''t order Cerauno because the current Cerauno is not powerful. He will be powerful enough to kill the peak level 10 elite general realm when he had used the ''Thunderw'' along with the boost from Ajax''s abyssal beast god bloodline. Moreover, Ajax thought to store them forter use. So, he directly summoned the five elemental pentapus because it is a spirit beast with peak rank 6 strength. ''Even its normal skills can kill three fire elemental spirits in front of him.'' Ajax didn''t have any ns to use the elementalws for now because he guessed that Derrick must have some elementalws on his own. "Huh?" When Derrick saw the sudden appearance of a huge five-coloured spirit beast in front of Ajax, he frowned and felt a bad premonition in his heart. ''Offical fire squad,e out.'' As soon as he felt a bad premonition in his heart, Derrick decided to summon his three official elemental spirits. "Water bullets" Since water has an elemental advantage over the fire, Ajax directly ordered the five elemental pentapus to use its water skill ''Water bullets'' at the three fire elemental spirits. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, more than 100 water bullets came out of the blue-coloured tentacle of the pentapus and rushed towards the three fire elemental spirits. There was no ce for the three fire elemental spirits to dodge before the water bullets covered more than 100 meters of the area around them. Moreover, just from looking at the water bullets, the fire elemental spirits lost all their hope and looked at their summoning master waiting for the official fire squad toe to their rescue. However, what they didn''t know was Derrick had already called them out butpared to them, the water bullets were much faster. ***** Sam_Chilton, thanks for GRIMOIRE. Dwight_Slywks, thanks for POTION. Chapter 824: Merging elemental laws

Chapter 824: Merging elementalws

''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Before Deerick''s official elemental spirits came out of his spirit consciousness, the water bullets hit the three unofficial elemental spirits, which had no way to escape from those water bullets. Soon, many explosions resounded in the surroundings, and the entire area was entirely covered by steam. If the five elemental pentapus was weaker than the three unofficial elemental spirits, then the water bullets would have been evaporated before they could touch the fire elemental spirits. However, the five elemental pentapus was a peak rank 6 spirit beast. So, when it used the water bullets on the fire elemental spirits, which only had the strength of early level 10 elite general realm, they could not endure those bullets and got killed. ''Ding, Killed three level 10 elite elemental spirit general realm elemental spirits. ''Ding, Gained 15000 units of the essence of nature. Soon, Ajax received a couple of system notifications informing the death of the three fire elemental spirits. ''What? Killed all three elemental spirits in a single move?'' Errol and Derrick, and even Ajax were also shocked when he saw that the five elemental pentapus killed three fire elemental spirits in a single attack. Mainly, Errol believed that Ajax was strong, but he didn''t think Ajax had an unevolved spirit beast that can kill level 10 elite general beings as though they were nothing. ''Looks like what the mirror artifact said about him might be true. He will help me in taking my revenge against the summoner''s group.'' After seeing how powerful Ajax''s contracted spirit beast was, Errol thought back to the time when he used the mirror artifact to see his son''s future. "Swoosh" As for Derrick, another three fire elemental spirits appeared in front of him; however, there was an enraged look on Derrick as he shouted, "I am going to kill you bastard for killing my unofficial elemental spirits." "Everyone, don''t bother hiding your strength. Use your full strength, and I want you to kill them at any cost." After shouting at Ajax and others, Derrick ordered his official elemental spirits. "Yes, summoning master." All three elemental spirits respectfully nodded their heads at him before looking at the five elemental pentapus. Only the five elemental pentapus can harm them, and as for the others, they were not just insects that could be killed anytime they wanted to kill. "Fire asteroidw." "Fire sword domain" "Fire haven" Nevertheless, after hearing their master''s orders, they didn''t waste any time using their own fire-elementalws. As soon as they used their elementalws, the thirty-meter radius around them turned into a fiery realm. At the same time, many fire swords along with asteroids were hovering in the air and waited for themands from the elemental spirits. ''Huh? They are using elementalws already?'' When Ajax saw the actions of the three official elemental spirits in the distance, he raised his brows for a moment before revealing a slight smile. ''Also, from the looks of it, one of the fire elemental spirits has level 3 elementalw. Is it ''Fire haven''? This is getting interesting.'' Ajax felt like his blood was boiling with excitement when he saw the three elemental spirits who had learned elementalws. Also, since the thirty-meter radius around the elemental spirits has turned into a fiery zone, Ajax guessed that one of the elemental spirits had reached level 3 in the elementalw. ''Aargh'' As soon as they activated theirws, they became more powerful and rushed at the five elemental pentapus from three different directions. "Penta, activate ''Water domain." Since the water elementalw will be pretty useful against the fire elemental spirits, Ajax ordered the five elemental spirits to use thatw. ''Use the attacks at your will and try your best to kill one of the elemental spirits first.'' After that, he silently transmitted another order to the five elemental pentapus to fight on its own. Since the five elemental pentapus had grown to the peak rank 6 realm in the wilderness, Ajax didn''t worry that the five elemental pentapus had any problem in fighting those three elemental spirits. "Cerauno, transform and go help Penta." Without thinking much, Ajax ordered the lightning elemental spirit beside him to help the spirit beast. "Thunderw" As soon as he got the orders from Ajax, Cerauno didn''t waste any time as he directly used his elementalw to increase his battle prowess. ''Swoosh'' After activating the elementalw, Cerauo jumped into the water domain created by the five elemental pentapus before using his domain type skill "Lightning realm". "Both of you, try tobine your elementalws." Soon, Ajax orders both the summons to merge their elementalws. Even though it is very hard to merge the elementalws, Aja believed that Cerauno could do it because the lightning elemental spirit had a merging ability with him. Since merging with him was possible, Ajax thought he should try to merge the elementalws. Moreover, the water element is goodpatibility with the lightning element. So, the chances of merging between the elementalws are very high. As soon as Ajax ordered, Cerauno and Penta tried to merge the elementalws, and to their surprise, they were able to merge on their first attempt itself. Soon, the 10-meter radius around Cerauno and the five elemental pentapus was entirely surrounded by one-meter level waters, and at the same time, many lightning shes were moving in that water. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Seeing that, all the three fire elemental spirits hurriedly jumped back and waited for the orders from their master. "Leave that elemental spirit and the spirit beast and kill the summoner along with the other two." Since Cerauno and Penta created a powerful environment for themselves, Derrick ordered his official elemental spirits to kill Ajax and others. ''How the hell a level 2 elite general realm elemental spirit can learn an elementalw. Moreover, it is a lightning elemental spirit which gains more boost in its strength when the elementalw is activated.'' After giving the order to his elemental spirits, Derrick looked at Cerauno with a shocked look on his face. The thing is, all his official elemental spirits learned the elementalws with the help of external forces, and even with them, the elemental spirits learned only when they reached level 10 elite general realm. However, Ajax''s elemental spirit was just a level 2 elite general realm cultivator but already gained a powerful elementalw. ''As long as I get the elementalw crystal from that elemental spirit, I can get many contribution points.'' Since the lightning elementalw crystals are very rare even in the greater worlds, Derrick thought of selling that crystal at a high price. "Haha." As for Ajax, when he heard Derrick''s orders for his fire elemental spirits, Ajax could not help butugh out loud. ''Huh?'' Derrick frowned at Ajax''s loudugh, but he didn''t give any orders for his elemental spirits to stop in their steps. "Cerauno, Penta, do it." Ajax didn''t even bother to move from his ce; instead, he ordered the lightning elemental spirit and the five elemental pentapus to do something. ******** Juantiano, MagnusChase2020, thanks for the BALLOONS. Chapter 825: Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline

Chapter 825: Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline

Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline As soon as Ajax ordered Cerauno and Penta to do something, they both nodded their heads understanding what their master wanted them to do. ''Swoosh'' Soon, two shining lines came out of the 10-meter radius around the lightning elemental spirit and the five elemental pentapus. One shining line is water, whereas the other one was a lightning sh. Both travelled towards the three fire elemental spirits that were trying to rush towards Ajax. Amidst the path, the flowing pressured water started revolving around the lightning sh, and soon, the flowing water ultimately merged with the lightning sh. After merging, the lightning sh became very powerful as it travelled at an incredible speed. "Hean, use the fire haven''s ability to stop the attack." Seeing the powerful lightning sh, Derrick felt that his elemental spirits should dodge that attack at any cost. However, he feared that the lightning sh might change directions at will. So, he didn''t want to take any chances as he decided to confront the powerful lightning sh with the help of his elemental spirit''s elementalw. ''Swoosh'' After hearing Derrick''s words, one of the fire elemental spirits looked at the lightning sh and understood what to do. Soon, that elemental spirit closed his eyes and muttered something. It only closed its eyes for a few seconds and the thirty-meter radius around him shined with bright red-coloured light. At the same time, the other two elemental spirits also shone with bright light as though they were receiving some kind of boost and looked powerful. ''ng'' Soon, the powerful lightning sh that wasbined with the water beam hit a red-coloured light. ''Kacha'' In the next second, there was a crisp sound that made Derrick anxious. ''The fire haven''s protection skill will notst for much longer. It looks like I need to activate my bloodline.'' Finally, when he saw the lightning sh pierce through the red-coloured barrier, Derrick decided to use his final trump card. ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline, activate.'' Derrick activated his bloodline without wasting any time, and as soon as he did that, the three powerful-looking elemental spirits merged into one huge fire elemental spirit. ''Boom'' As for the lightning sh that was trying to pierce through the fire barrier created by the elementalw exploded; however, the huge elemental spirit was still standing strong on the ground. ''What? His bloodline can merge the elemental spirits?'' Ajax was not shocked that the powerful lightning sh was destroyed; however, what shocked him the most was that the three elemental spirits merged into one entity. "Now, no matter what you do, you can''t escape from my ''Merged elemental spirit''." Looking at Ajax''s face, Derrick was satisfied as he scoffed at Ajax and others. ''System, do you have information on ''fire haven''w?'' As for Ajax, he was not bothered about Derrick''s words as he felt there was something about Fire haven elementalw. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Pay 5000 units of the essence of nature to know. ''Just take it and give me the information about the elementalw.'' Ajax was annoyed at the system''s greediness; however, he still epted it because 5000 units of the essence of nature were nothing for the current Ajax. ''Ding, Consumed 5000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Elementalw:- Fire Haven (level 3). Note:- Since the enemy has level 3 elementalw, the effects will be shown ording to it. Effects:- 1) Boosts the strength of fire beings within the 30-meter radius by three times. 2) Rapid regeneration of the user and other beings inside the 30-meter radius by consuming the essence of nature by all beings. Skill:- Fire Haven Protection. Skill details:- A red-coloured light will cover the thirty-meter radius that protects the user and the other beings inside it from the outside attacks for five minutes. ''No wonder they were fine even after thebined skills from both the elementalws.'' Soon, Ajax saw theplete information on the elementalw and nodded his head in understanding. That''s right! After the five elemental pentapus and the lightning elemental spirit merged their twows, the skills linked to their elementalws also merged. ''Lightning sh'' is the skill that came with the ''Thunderw'', and ''Water beam'' is linked with ''Water domain''. When both the skills were merged, it became ''Thunder water st''. However, when Derrick used his bloodline, the elemental spirits merged and became so powerful that they were able to stop the ''Thunder water st'' without much difficulty. ''Looks like I need to use my bloodline too.'' Looking at the huge elemental spirit in the distance, Ajax was not worried much because he still had many trump cards to use and, even if they failed, he thought he could just escape from this world while abandoning the mission. "Merge your three elemental spirits too." While Ajax was thinking of using his bloodline, Derrick gave anothermand to the huge elemental spirits. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as the huge elemental spirit heard those words, it ced its hands on the ground. Soon, thousands of small rocks came out of the gift-meter radius around it and started hovering in the air. That''s right! After merging the three elementalws, the area around the huge elemental spirit increased from thirty-meter to fifty-meter, meaning that the merged elementalw is at level 5. The fifty-meter radius around the huge elemental spirit was entirely covered with fire swords and asteroids. "Now, kill everyone." Soon, Derrick shouted as loudly as possible as he vented his anger through the shouting. ''Thud'' Finally, the huge elemental spirit took a step which made the entire surrounding shook a little before waving its hand. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, the fire swords and the asteroids that were hovering in the air rushed towards Ajax. ''Damn it. There is not enough time to dodge.'' Just like how the water bullets from the five elemental pentapus covered the escape routes for the elemental spirits earlier, the huge elemental spirit did that same thing. ''Boom'' Before Ajax could think about something to escape, many asteroids and fire swordsnded on him. As for Cerauno and Penta, they tried their best to destroy as many fire asteroids and fire swords; however, they could not help Ajax. "Summoning master." "Ajax" "Master." Cerauno, Errol, and Ghost were shocked at first and became worried about Ajax. With the explosion, the entire area waspletely covered with mist. "I am going to kill you." Soon, Cerauno became enraged as he hovered in the air. Lightning sparks were moving all over his body, and even his eyes were sparkled with lightning arc making him look like a lightning god. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' As for the five elemental pentapus, it also became very angry, and its tentacles grew very big as it mmed the ground with those tentacles to show how angry it was. "Penta, let''s go." Cerauno said to the five elemental pentapus before rushing into the huge elemental spirit''s fire haven. Behind him, the five elemental pentapus also didn''t waste any time as it rushed into the fire haven as soon as possible. Soon, the battle between the huge elemental spirit and Ajax''s two summons started. Chapter 826: Killing Derrick

Chapter 826: Killing Derrick

''Skill enhancement'' ''Weapon formation'' ''Weapon enchantment'' ''Weapons merge'' Cerauno didn''t waste any time as he directly used all his skills in one go and created a huge lightning sword, and started fighting the huge elemental spirit with it. ''Water bullets'' As for the five elemental pentapus, even though it had five different skills, only water bullets are effective on the huge fire elemental spirit. Skills like fire balls, mud shots will only increase the firepower of the huge fire elemental spirit. So, the five elemental pentapus used only water elementalw ''Water domain'' and water elemental skill ''Water bullets''. However,pared to the unofficial elemental spirits, the huge elemental spirit was very powerful, and before the water bullets could touch the elemental spirit, they evaporated into thin air. "Why is that elemental spirit still alive?" Derrick, looking at Cerauno using many powerful skills on his merged elemental spirit, frowned because, without a summoner, the elemental spirit would die. ''It looks like he is still alive; however, why can''t I sense him?'' Derrick focused on the area covered with smoke; however, he felt no sign of lifeing from that location. ''Did he escape to somewhere else?'' Derrick frowned as he hurriedly searched for Ajax. "Are you looking for me? I am here." Ajax appeared behind Derrick out of nowhere just like a ghost, and as soon as he appeared, Ajax activated, "Abyssal demon god bloodline, activate." ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax activated his bloodline, the five elemental pentapus looked at Ajax with a surprised look in its eyes and became excited because, for some reason, it is bing powerful. More powerful than it had ever imagined bing with its current cultivation. ''Water bullets'' Without wasting any time, the five elemental pentapus used the single water elemental spirit in its arsenal. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Whenever a water bullet hits huge fire elemental spirits, a small explosion will ur; however, except for some minor injuries, the huge elemental spirit was still standing. Even though those are only minor injuries, the five elemental pentapus were more than happy to do minor damage with a single water bullet. So, when it thought about how much damage it could do with hundreds of water bullets, it became exciting and continuously used the same skill again and again. "How is it possible? How can you still be alive?" As fr Derrick, with the sudden appearance of Ajax behind him, he was shocked, and he hurriedly distanced himself from Ajax. ''Dimensional shackles.'' He used the official skill he gained without any hesitation by forming a contract with space elemental spirit, which shackled Derrick by some invisible chains. ''How can a level 2 general realm cultivator stop me, a level 10 elite general realm cultivator with his skills?'' Every time Ajax used a skill or some trump card, Derrick''s fear towards Ajax increased, and after seeing how he escaped the ultimate skill of his merged elemental spirit and how he shackled him with some invisible chains made Derrick even more terrified. As for an answer to his question, there are various reasons why Ajax was able to hold Derrick with his dimensional shackles. One, Ajax had activated his bloodline, which increased his battle prowess by three times. Two, Ajax''s cultivation ispletely different from other cultivators, and along with his body being tempered with various fire and lightning elements, he was very stronger than others. There was another reason why Derrick was shackled by Ajax, and it was Derrick''s carelessness. He didn''t expect Ajax to appear behind him out of nowhere. ''He is definitely from one of the greater worlds. I need to inform Master Red about it.'' Even though Derrick was anxious, he tried to calm down because he knew his anxiety would bring him nothing but even more suffering. So, he thought of informing Master Red about Ajax. ''I will crush the summoning talisman to summon Master.'' As soon as he came to this thought, Derrick summoned a talisman to crush it. ''Spatial des'' Ajax, who was expecting Derrick to use some kind of talisman to either attack him or escape from this ce, used his full-powered ''Spatial des'' and chopped Derrick''s hand. ''Aargh'' No matter how powerful a cultivator bes, of course, they will experience pain when their hand was chopped off from their body. With his arm being chopped off, Derrick started groaning in pain "Do you think I will let you use any of the talismans to escape from here?" Ajax looked pale after escaping from the earlier attack, but still, he maintained his calm as he scoffed at Derrick. Actually, Ajax didn''t escape from the earlier attack; he received the attack; however, because of his new skill, ''Emergency ghost'', Ajax was able to keep his life intact. However, because of the side-effects of using that skill, his face looked pale, and he could barely use his skills. When Jastin used the emergency ghost, he was unable to use any skills; however, Ajax''s case was different as he was able to use his skills with a lot of pain. ''Aargh..Damn you.'' Derrick cursed Ajax as he looked at Ajax with an angry look. "Self-destruct." However, he was unable to move because of the dimensional shackles, he was unable to move, and he lost his arm. So, he gave an order to his elemental spirit. "Penta, Cerauno, move away from it." Just like how Derrick was helpless against Ajax, the huge elemental spirit was also in a simr situation against the lightning elemental spirit and the five elemental pentapus. So, Derrick didn''t hesitate to order his elemental spirit to self-destruct because all his major trump cards are over, and he wanted to kill both the lightning elemental spirit and the five elemental pentapus before finding another way to escape from here. ''As long as they die, this bastard will surely be affected by it. I can then escape from here without any problem.'' Even though it was the harshest decision in his life, Derrick had to do that in order to stay alive. "Your elemental spirit and Pentapus had no time to escape from the self-destruction range of my elemental spirit...Haha...there is no way they can escape." The only happiest thing was that he was able to kill two powerful beings. So, he wanted tough out loud; however, his eyes were filled with tears because all the future he had dreamed of had shattered. "It''s all because of you. If you didn''t meddle in my affairs, I would have had all my elemental spirits, but now, I am going to have no more elemental spirits after today, and my ''young chief'' position will be gone." Derrick became insane as he muttered whatever came to his mouth. "Let me tell you one thing, if you harm someone, you should expect the same thing wille to you." Looking at Derrick, Ajax said in a low voice. "Then what about you? Are you going to die in the same way as you kill me?" Derrick calmed down after hearing Ajax''s words and replied to Ajax with a question. "Isn''t that the reason why we are trying our best to be stronger?" Ajax replied to Derrick in a low voice, and at the same time, his hand turned into demon ws before piercing through Derrick''s body. Chapter 827: Summoners Codex

Chapter 827: Summoner''s Codex

''Puchi'' Ajax didn''t give any time as he directly used his demon w to crush Derrick''s heart. As for the huge elemental spirit, which was about to self-destruct, it was separated back into three elemental spirits with lifeless eyes. That''s right! Since the summoner is already dead, the elemental spirit can''t stay alive due to the spirit contract. ''Ding, Killed a level 10 elite general realm summoner. Gained 100 spirit points ''Ding, The host can refine the dead body of the summoner using the Arcane spirit turtle''s ''Ultimate arcane refiner'' skill to get some good items. Soon, Ajax got the system notifications informing him about the death of Derrick. Moreover, he was surprised to see that he got spirit points for killing; instead of the essence of nature. ''Now, I can buy one elemental paradise, right?'' Ajax was excited when he thought about getting a new elemental paradise. Earlier, he had a little more than 100, and now, he has enough to buy an elemental paradise and amander realm elemental spirit stone. ''I will check them out after I leave here. For now, I need to leave this region...wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something. ''Since I killed the young chief of the summoner''s group, who is the most powerful one from the summoner''s group that entered the five elemental world, I don''t need to fear anyone, right?'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax looked at Errol and asked, "Uncle Errol, are there any strongest members from the summoner''s group that came after you?" "So, he is the powerful one; however, I heard him talk through the transmission talisman whom he addressed as ''Master Red''. I think he is a king realm cultivator. Let''s run away from here." Errol nodded his head at Ajax''s question and replied that someone else was more powerful than Derrick. ''King realm?'' Ajax frowned because if a King realm cultivatores after him, no matter how much he runs, he won''t be able to escape from him. ''Also, it looks like the five elemental world didn''t have any restrictions on the king realm, and the world guardian has yet to reach the king realm. So, I can only go back to the Shixato wilds and seek the protection of Ren.'' Initially, Ajax thought of leaving the Western foxnds as soon as possible; however, after killing Derrick, Ajax thought to stay back and clear all the 28 fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s group. But, once again, he decided to leave the Western foxnds and reach the Shixato wilds as soon as possible because he could take the help of a powerful summoner. ''As for abandoning the mission to go back to the purple stone world using the portal, it will be myst resort.'' The thing is, he could escape to the purple stone; however, if that so-called Master Red uses some mysterious techniques to stop me from entering the portal, then he will be in big trouble. "Twilight,e out." As soon as he concluded, he summoned the recently mutated Destructive dragon and looking at Errol and others, and he said, "Let''s go." Errol was shocked by the sudden appearance of a huge dragon which emitted a divine aura. "Uncle Errol,e on. We need to go." Ajax shook his head when he saw Errol was shocked and stood in the same ce. So, he shouted at Errol to make hime out of his shock. "Coming." Soon, Errol came out of his shock and jumped on the dragon''s back; however, he was still having a little fear because he could sense the huge dragon is a pure-blooded one and even emitted a divine aura. So, he carefully sat down between the spikes and scales on the dragon''s back. "Twilight, use divine flight to enhance the speed of your flying and go as fast as you can." After the dragon flew into the sky, Ajax ordered the dragon to fly as fast as possible. ''Roar'' Twilight let out a loud roar and flew towards the Shixato wilds like a jet. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host onpleting the mission ''Protecting the summoner''s name''. While they were flying, Ajax got another system notification that gave him quite a surprise. Because he didn''t expect that the mission would be over that soon. ''So, Derrick? is the main reason for the destruction of the ghost fox tribe.'' Finally, Ajax understood that Derrick was the one who ordered the destruction of the ghost fox tribe; however, he still felt the summoner''s group was not good. ''It looks like Errol''s impression on the summoner''s is changed.'' Looking at Errol, Ajax silently muttered to himself. Since the mission said that he had to blow a good amount of damage to the summoner''s group, Derrick must be very important. So, as soon as Ajax killed Derrick, the system changed the mission status from ongoing topleted. ''Let''s see whether Master Redes to take revenge or not.'' Ajax decided to wait until Master Red visits him. Then, depending on his behavior, Ajax thought to go against it or not. ''Anyway, let''s see what rewards I got from this mission.'' Soon, Ajax focused on the rewards because it is always an exciting thing for him to check the rewards. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with the ''Summoner''s Codex'' forpleting the mission ''Protect the summoner''s name and fame''. ''Huh? Summoner''s codex?'' Ajax was surprised because, from the name alone, he could say that it is an important item. Soon, he opened his inventory to check the full information on the summoner''s codex. ''Ding, Item name:- Summoner''s codex Use:- An ancient book belonging to the first summoner who reached the pinnacle in the universe recorded everything that was needed for a summoner to be a top existence in the entire Universe based on his life experience and some other factors. More information: The summoner''s codex is divided into various parts. Only after reaching a certain in a single part will the next part of the codex be avable for the host. ''What? A book that was written by the first summoner who became a top existence in the universe?'' Ajax was shocked when he learned about the ''Summoner''s codex'' origins, and his hands shivered with excitement. ''Should I open it?'' This was Ajax''s first thought in his mind after reading theplete information about the summoner''s codex; however, he quickly interrupted that thought because he didn''t know from which hole the summoner''s group was looking at him. So, he thought he would only use it when he was in a safe position, and he even swore he should only use it after entering the inner world. Because the inner world can block all kinds of energy fluctuations froming out of it, no fluctuations will enter the inner world. ''I hope Ren will help me if Master Red visits the five elemental world.'' Soon, Ajax came back to his thoughts of Master Red, and he hoped that the powerful summoner, Ren, would help him. ''Also, I need to erase those 28 fox tribes with the help of my contracted spirit beasts to get more spirit points.'' Ajax started nning about what to do in the next few days. **** Kellee_States, Sam_Chilton, thanks for the RINGS. Chapter 828: Elen

Chapter 828: Elen

In the fire elemental world. ''Kacha'' Master Red, who was sitting in the cross-legged position, clenched his fists when he sensed his disciple and sessor, Derrick, got killed. ''Damn it. Who dared to kill a member of the summoner group in the five elemental world.'' ''Boom'' Master Red was so angry that he destroyed one of the pirs in his cultivation chamber. "Give me the detailed report." In the corner, there was a young man in red-coloured robes shivering by the cultivation pressure released by Master Red. "Y...yeah, S..sir." The young man was a recent recruit of the fire base of the summoner group. So, he was scared a lot when he saw the angry Master Red. Nevertheless, he tried his best to suppress those emotions and replied to Master Red before taking out a scroll withplete details on Derrick''s death. "So, he was killed by a summoner of an unknown origin?" Master Red frowned because a summoner who had an elemental spirit learned an elementalw when he was only at level 2 elite general realm. Moreover, the summoner himself was at level 2 general realm. So, Master Red strongly believed that Ajax came from a greater world. "M..master Red, I have something on mind to say. If you permit, I will say." Suddenly, the young man mustered his courage and asked permission to speak. "Hm" Master Red nodded his head as he gave permission for the young man to speak. "I don''t think he is from any of the greater worlds, Master Red." The young man adjusted to the cultivation pressure released from Master Red and spoke with a polite look on his face. "Convince me." Master Red only spoke two words and waited for the young man to speak. "There are some cases that summoners from some of the smaller worlds have elemental spirits learn elementalw even when they were at level 1 general realm." "Another reason is he was trying to run away instead of fighting the 28 fox tribe we groomed. If he is really someone from the greater world, he will never run away because all the young masters from the greater worlds will be either protected by some powerful guardian or given artifacts that protect him." "These are only my thoughts, Master Red. I might be wrong too." The young man finished his thoughts on Ajax being from a smaller world and not from a greater world. "Excellent thoughts." Master Red was impressed by the analysis of the young man and nodded his head. "Thank you for your praise, Master Red." The young man was excited because this was his first time meeting Master Red and he was thrilled to be praised by Master Red on his first meeting itself. "You are a level 5 elite general realm cultivator, but since you are good with your analysis, I could use your help in the future." While saying that, Master Red threw a red-coloured rhombus-shaped crystal at the young man and asked, "What is your name?" "It''s Elen, Master Red." Catching the red-cloured crystal, the young man replied his name. However, as soon as he caught the red-crystal, his face showed a look of a surprise because it was not a spirit stone; it was an elementalw stone. That''s right! An elementalw stone is a stone that helps an elemental spirit in learning a neww stored in that stone. So, as soon as he recognized it, Elen could not help but be excited because one of his fire elemental spirits can now learn the elementalw stored in that stone within a short time. "Elen, from now on, the five elemental world is yours to keep an eye on. See where that bastard who killed Derrick is hiding. You can leave now." Master Red gave orders to Elen and asked him to leave the hall for now. "Yes, Master Red." Elen was in a great mood today that he got the elementalw stone. So, he was waiting for those words, and as soon as he heard ''You can leave now'', Elen didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly left Master Red''s cultivation chamber. ''It looks like I need more time than I thought in taking control over the world core of the five elemental world.'' After Elen left the cultivation chamber, Master Red silently thought in his head as he continued thinking, ''Unless I take control over the five elemental world, I can''t go back to home.'' ''And without those three artifacts, it is impossible to give the eptance of the world core. So, I need them as soon as possible, and at the same time, I should make Elen''s'' elemental spirits learn at least one of the elementalws.'' The reason he casually threw the elementalw stone is not because of Elen''s analysis or whatsoever. Since there is no Derrick now, Master Red had to prepare another cultivator capable of bing the master of the five elemental world. ''As for revenge, that bastard who messed up my ns will not escape from the surveince of my fire base.'' While muttering those words, Master Red went back to his cultivation. Actually, if not for his critical juncture in his cultivation, Master Red would have already entered the five elemental world to kill Ajax. Nevertheless, Master Red was confident that Ajax could not escape from the surveince of his face. Even though they didn''t have prior records on Ajax, like how he entered the world and other things. However, after killing Derrick, Ajax could never escape from the watchful eyes of the fire base. .... In the Shixato wilds. A huge dragon hovered in the sky while roaring at the sky, alerting all the lightning hawk tribesmen. "Master, you are back." As soon as Snow and the other two contracted spirit beasts of Ajax heard the roar, they hurriedly flew into the sky and excitedly asked Ajax. "Yes, let''s go inside the castle." However, Ajax was in a hurry to use the rewards and wanted to see what is inside the ''Summoner''s codex''. After finishing his words, he summoned back the huge dragon back into his inner world beforending on the ground and directly entering the white castle. "I need some rest. Let''s talk after I wake up." Ajax went into a room suggested by Snow and closed the door without waiting for any reply. "What happened to the master?" All three contracted spirit beasts were in a state of confusion because they didn''t understand the reason for Ajax''s actions. Nevertheless, they didn''t ask Errol and others about it. Since their master said he would exin after resting, they decided to wait. As for Errol and Ghost, they were guided into a guest room. ''Now, I can check the summoner''s codex.'' As soon as he entered the room, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and thought he was safe for the time being and decided to wait until Master Red showed up in the Shixato wilds. Even though Ajax thought he was careful all the way from the Western foxnds to the Shixato wilds, he forgot that the twilight dragon had evolved to the divine dragon, and the summoner''s group had already seen him summoning the divine dragon. Chapter 829: Lucky Elen?

Chapter 829: Lucky Elen?

In the fire elemental world, ''He has a divine dragon. Should I inform Master Red about it?'' A divine dragon is a rare spirit beast in smaller and normal worlds; however, the people from the greater worlds had seen some divine dragons. But still, a divine dragon''s body is full of cultivation resources. Compared to the cultivators from the smaller and normal worlds, the cultivators from the greater world can make good use of a divine dragon''s body. It''s because of their knowledge in alchemy, appraisal, weaponsmithy, formations, and many more. When you have the top knowledge in a particr field, you can bring out many uses for a de of grass and a small piece of rock. However, Elen''s concern was whether he should disturb Master Red or not? ''Let it be. I will take my chances and inform him about the divine dragon.'' After thinking for some time, Elen decided to inform Master Red about the divine dragon. "Keep an eye on this screen until Ie back." After taking the decision, Elen stood up from his chair and asked another young man in red robes beside him. In that room, other than Elen and that young man, there were eight more young men in the same red coloured robes, which was the uniform of the fire base of the summoner''s group. In front of everyone, there was a huge screen as though they were monitoring something. As for the screen in front of Elen, currently, it was showing the white castle, which was, of course, the same white castle in which Ajax was staying. However, Elen was unable to see Ajax since he was inside the white castle. That was why Elen thought of leaving because he was sure Ajax was not going toe out of the white castle any time soon. Nevertheless, he asked the young man to watch it while he was gone. "Sure, Elen." The young man was happy to help Elen because Elen had reced Derrick''s ce and met Master Red. Soon, Elen left the control room and walked towards the cultivation chamber of Master Red. "Knock knock" "Who is it?" When Master Red heard the knocking on his door, he was annoyed and became a little irritated in his words. "Master Red, it''s me, Elen. I have something important to inform you." After his first visit and praise from Master Red, Elen got his emotions under his control. "Come in and inform me about it." Master Red controlled his anger as he asked Elen toe inside. "Sorry for disturbing you, Master Red. But I have something that might pique your interest." Elen was respectful while speaking to Master Red, and that respect was not from fear; instead, it was from the achievements aplished by Master Red. "Hurry up and say." Master Red urged Elen to just say what he had to say. "The summoner who killed Derrick has a divine dragon on him. Since Master Red is in a critical juncture in this cultivation, I thought a divine dragon''s corpse might be of help to you." Elen knew that Master Elen was in some kind of hurry. So, he didn''t waste any time exining about the divine dragon. ''What? A divine dragon?'' Master Red was surprised for a moment before bing excited. ''Look like the heavens are looking after me. Just when I needed the divine dragon''s blood, it gave me the address of a divine dragon without any difficulty.'' Master Red faced upwards as he thanked heavens for sending a divine dragon, and looking at Elen, he said, "Open the portal to the nearest location of that divine dragon." "Yes, Master Red." Finally, Elen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Master Red was excited to receive the news about the divine dragon and nodded his head. "Even though it''s been less than a couple of hours since I met you, I am liking your work, Elen." While they were walking towards the control room, Master Red spoke with a slight smile on his face. "Thank you, Master Red. I will continue to work hard for the fire base." Elen respectfully replied to Master Red. "If I get the divine dragon body, I will not forget to give you some good items for your cultivation, and I might even give you some contribution points which you can redeem whatever you want from our organization." Master Red said a few more words that made Elen excited, and he thought, ''This is it. My life changing moment hase.'' Along the entire way, Elen thanked Master Red as he didn''t expect that his fortuitous encounter woulde this fast. ''And the entire credit goes to that young man who killed Derrick.'' Elen gave the credit to Ajax because if not for Ajax, Elen would have remained a low-level member of the fire base who has to look after some barren worlds. ''However, it''s too bad I can''t help him and let him die in the hands of Master Red.'' Even though he said those words, he was happy for the death of Ajax because of a single reason, and it was Ajax being the abnormal summoner. Moreover, he had an auxiliary elemental spirit that learned an elementalw. So, of course, he hated Ajax for that, and he could not wait for Ajax''s death. "Everyone, Master Red wants a portal to the Shixato wilds of the five elemental world. So, open it as soon as possible." As soon as Elen entered the control room, he ordered the other nine young men in the room to open the portal. "On it." Soon, everyone became anxious when they heard it was Master Red who wants the portal to the five elemental world. So, they were notzy in their work and tried to open a portal to the five elemental world as soon as possible. ''Swoosh'' It didn''t take much time to open the portal to the said location, and as soon as the portal opened, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. "Let''s go, Elen." As for the Master Red, he didn''t even bother to look at the young men in the control as he walked towards the portal, and just when he was about to enter the portal, he ordered Elen to follow him. "Yes, Master Red." Elen was hoping that Master Red would take him along with him, and as soon as he heard Master Red''s words, Elen became excited and hurriedly walked into the portal along with Master Red. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they entered the portal, it was closed by the remaining young men, who looked envious regarding Elen''s luck. ''That lucky bastard haddy luck smiling on him.'' ''Not only he got the elementalw stone, but he got the chance to apany Master Red.'' ''As long as this trip is sessful for Master Red, Elen will gain even more benefits.'' The rest of the young men could only say things to one another when Elen was not around. Nevertheless, they were sure about one thing, and it was not to get in bad books with Elen. "Anyway, let''s get back to ourzy jobs of watching the brazen worlds." Soon, they went back to their work after talking about Elen''s luck. one:- Alchemy

Chapter one:- Alchemy

''Let''s see what is inside the summoner''s codex.'' As soon as Ajax entered the room, he took out an ancient-looking huge book from his inventory. With a thought, he opened the huge book. ''Chapter one:- Alchemy.'' Even though the words are in some unknownnguage, Ajax could read them as though he knew those words. ''Ding, It is detected that the host is not strong enough to store all the knowledge stored in the chapter. ''Ding, Dividing ''Chapter one'' into three parts. ''Ding, Do you want to assimte the first part of ''Chapter one''? At the same time as he opened the book, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him raise his brows. ''Yes.'' Nevertheless, he nodded his head as he agreed to the system. ''Ding, The assimtion might be painful. Please bear with it. Soon, Ajax felt a sharp pain; however, for him, this kind of pain is almost negligiblepared to the pains he had endured in his cultivation journey. ''Ding, The knowledge from rank 1 to rank 4 alchemy is assimted into the host''s mind. The process didn''tst for much longer before getting the system notification informing that it waspleted. ''Huh?'' However, Ajax frowned when he saw that system notification because he was already a rank 4 alchemy master. So, what is the use of gaining the same knowledge again and again? ''System, I am already a rank 4 alchemy master. So why are you assimting the same knowledge regarding rank 1 to rank 4 alchemy?'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host''s previous knowledge is mostly rted to the herbs and techniques originating from the purple stone world and the five elemental world. ''Ding, The knowledge that the host gained right now can help him in creating the pills that originated from the many greater worlds. ''Oh. So, it is basically an upgrade in my alchemy knowledge until rank 4. Good.'' Ajax nodded his head as he understood what the system was saying and closed his eyes to check what he had gained from the recent assimtion of alchemy knowledge. ''Cool.'' In his head, there were many basic techniques to improve the purity of the pills. Not only that, but he was able to sense that he knows about vast herbs and ingredients ranking from one to four. ''System, I want to assimte the second part of chapter one.'' After getting the taste of vast knowledge on the alchemy for rank 1 to rank 4, Ajax decided to assimte the second part of the Alchemy chapter. ''Ding, For the host''s current cultivation, assimtion of the second part (rank 4 to rank 6) will be quite painful. ''Ding, The system suggests the host be a little stronger before assimting the second part. However, the system suggested Ajax be a little stronger. ''Will I die if I use it?'' Ajax was already annoyed with the system whenever it says that the host has to be stronger to know something or use something. So, he directly asked a question, and as long as he got what he wanted to hear, Ajax thought of assimting the second part. ''Ding, No, but the pain will be very much for a level 2 general realm cultivator to take. ''But I am not a regr level 2 general realm cultivator, right?'' Since he will not die from the pain, Ajax decided to assimte the second part of chapter one. ''Ding, Assimting the second part of the Alchemy, which includes from rank 4 to rank 6. Soon, the system didn''t bother to pursue Ajax regarding his decision and started the assimtion process. ''I can endure it.'' ''I can endure it.'' . . . ''I can endure it.'' As for Ajax, he was waiting for the sharp pain and muttered that he could endure the pain. ''It''sing.'' Ajax could feel a sharp pain in his head which was increasing with each passing second. ''Aargh'' Finally, after some time, the pain reached a level where Ajax could not help but groan. ''I can do it. I don''t need to be powerful to gain the knowledge rting to alchemy ranking from rank 4 to rank 6.'' Since he was pissed by the system''s words that say he needed to be powerful to learn about something or use something, he wanted to prove that he could do it without bing stronger. Soon, his consciousness started bing hazy, but he didn''t give up as he bit his tongue to remain conscious. However, no matter how hard he tried, his eyes started closing after a few moments. ''Young man, in the future, you have to endure pains much more powerful than the current one.'' ''So, if you can''t even endure the current one, then just close your eyes and sleep forever.'' Suddenly, the old voice in his head, which disappeared from the time he became a general realm cultivator, appeared once again and tried to motivate him. However, Ajax was surprised for only a moment before going back to the state of bing unconscious. Seeing that the regr words do not affect Ajax, the old voice in Ajax''s head came up with an idea and started speaking. ''By the way, I said that I would say something about your parents, right?? They are still alive. That''s right! They are still alive and waiting for your return to save them from the huge crisis which is about toe.'' ''Aargh'' As soon as Ajax heard the old voice talk about his parents, Ajax groaned in pain as he was no longer in a state of bing unconscious. ''So, are you giving up now or enduring the pain to see your parents?'' As for the old voice in Ajax''s head, when he saw Ajax''s reaction when he talked about his parents, he continued to add more and more lines about his parents. Soon, the paining from the assimtion of the second part of chapter one started decreasing, and Ajax''s frowned brows also starteding back to normal. ''Young man, I used all my energy in motivating you earlier. I will be going back to my slumber unless you provide me with a ''Dark world essence''; I will take a long time to wake up.'' While the pain started decreasing, the old voice knew his motivation was no longer needed for Ajax. So, he said some words. ''What? How can I contact you?'' Even though the process is still notpleted, Ajax was able to speak to the old voice. ''As long as you hold the ''Dark world essence in your hands, I will know about it.'' the old voice replied to Ajax. However, the old man''s voice was bing lower and lower as he continued saying, ''You need to be a king realm cultivator as soon as possible; otherwise, it will be toote to¡­..'' ''Huh?'' With each word, the old voice in Ajax''s head became lower and lower, and all of a sudden, the old voicepletely disappeared, making Ajax frown. ''Late for what? What about my parents?'' Once again, the old voice in Ajax''s head left many questions for him, which made Ajax bitter shake his head. ********* Sam_Chilton, thanks for the RING.

Chapter 831: Three pill recipes

When he was breaking into the general realm, the old voice said that he would say something about his parents. Even though Ajax didn''t get a reply when he asked the old voice after entering into the general realm, Ajax didn''t bother the old voice after asking a couple of times. Nevertheless, the old voice finally said that his parents are alive; however, his words left Ajax with many questions. ''I should stop thinking about those questions. Instead, I should find that Dark world essence.'' Ajax knew that thinking those questions would only make him restless. So, he decided to stop thinking and focused on the ''Dark world essence''. ''System, this dark world essence should be avable in worlds filled with dark energy?'' Even though it was Ajax''s first time hearing about the ''Dark world essence, he could guess where it could be found. Nevertheless, he asked the system to confirm it. ''Ding, Yes. ''Ding, The ''World essence is the purest essence of nature of a world stored at the center of the world along with the world core. ''Ding, Depending on what type of elements the world has in it, that type of world essence is stored, and it will be in the hands of the world guardian. Soon, three system notifications appeared in front of him, giving some information on the world''s essence. ''So, I have to enter a dark elemental world and defeat its guardian to get the dark world essence.'' He was right; however, to get the dark world essence, Ajax had to defeat the guardian of a dark world. ''It looks like I should choose a dark world to destroy first to increase my cultivation.'' Since he had to destroy the worlds to get their cores to increase his cultivation, he decided to select a dark elemental world. So that, not only could he increase his cultivation by one minor realm, but he can also get the dark world essence. ''Ding, The assimtion of the second part of chapter one ispleted. ''Ding, The host has gained knowledge of various techniques and various herbs ranging from rank 4 to rank 6 and sessfully became a rank 6 alchemy master. ''Ding, Congrattions, host, for sessfully reaching the rank 6 in alchemy. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with three pill recipes belonging to rank 4, rank 5, and rank 6, along with three sets of ingredients. Please check your inventory to know more about the pill recipes. While he was nning for his next mission afterpleting his mission in the five elemental world, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile. However, soon, it turned into excitement when he saw thest system notification informing him about the rewards. ''Let''s see what those pill recipes are.'' Bing a rank 6 alchemy master was within his assumptions; however, the rewards were not within his expectations. Moreover, there was no single rank 5 pill recipe in the Zrochester province much less having a rank 6 pill recipe. So, of course, Ajax was excited to see the pill recipes. ''Ding, Pill recipe name:- Invisible pill. Pill grade:- Rank 4 Effect:- A pill that can make the consumer disappear from the sight of the cultivators below the general realm. Soon, Ajax started checking the pill recipes he gained from his advancement to the rank 6 alchemy one by one. ''This is of no use for me.'' Since Ajax didn''t have any need to hide from the cultivators below the general realm, he felt it was of no use to him. So, he threw it back into the inventory before checking the next pill recipe. ''Ding, Pill recipe name:- Shapeshifting pill. Pill grade:-? Rank 4. Effect:- A pill that can help the consumer change their shape into a specific being for an entire day. Note:- A king realm cultivator can see through the disguise without any problem. ''This one is useful.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief for getting a useful pill recipe. ''With the help of these pills, my mission of destroying the evil worlds will be easier.'' When Ajax enters a non-human world, Ajax could transform into an inhabitant race of that particr world, making it easy to gather intel on the world before destroying it. ''Holy heavens, please give me a useful rank 6 pill recipe.'' Compared to the rank 4 and rank 5 pill recipes, a rank 6 pill recipe ispletely different. Even a single rank 6 pill can make people fight to the death, not to mention the rank 6 pill recipe. Nevertheless, he needed a rank 6 pill recipe that could help him in his missions for Ajax. ''Ding, Pill recipe name:- High-level strength pill. Pill grade:- Rank 6 Effect:- A pill that can temporarily increase the strength of an individual by an entire major realm. Note:- Highest strength gained by consuming this pill is peak level 10 elite general realm. ''Phew'' After checking thest pill recipe information, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief because it is a useful pill recipe. ''As long as I get more sets of ingredients for these pills, I can let my summons consume them, and I will have a more powerful army.'' Ajax was excited about thest pill recipe, and without wasting any time, he checked the ingredients for the rank 6 pill recipe. ''It looks like the three main ingredients are rare items.'' After checking the ingredients required to make the ''High-level strength pill'', Ajax noticed that three of the main ingredients are very rare because among the three ingredients, one is rank 6, and the other two are rank 5 ingredients. ''I think I should be content with the three sets of the ingredients provided by the system.'' Ajax didn''t have any ess to the greater worlds at the current stage, but in the future, as long as he helped Ren, the powerful summoner, he could enter a greater summoner world. ''Anyway, I should remember the three ingredients'' names as I never knew I might get some information on these ingredients in the auctions.'' With that thought in his mind, he muttered the three main ingredients for the high-level strength pills, ''Execution bear, Livid bearberry, and Mandrake root.'' ''Once Iplete the mission of conquering the western foxnds, I can focus on refining both rank 5 and rank 6 pills before going on the mission to destroy the worlds.'' Ajax added a new thing to his existing n. ''Ding, Host, do you want to assimte thest part of chapter one? Suddenly, a system notification appeared asking him regarding thest part of chapter one in the summoner''s codex. ''What? There is another part to the Alchemy chapter?'' Ajax was surprised when he saw the sudden system notification. Until now, he thought chapter one was divided into two parts because he had already reached a level in the alchemy which the normal world''s cultivators couldn''t reach. ''Since there is another part, are you saying that I can be a King grade alchemy master?'' Ajax asked the system with a shocked look on his face. ''Ding, Yes. After getting the reply from the system, Ajax froze for a second before bing excited. ****** Sorry for thete release. Chapter 832: Buying an elemental paradise

Chapter 832: Buying an elemental paradise

Alchemy masters are ssified from rank 1 to rank 7, and the cultivator who reached rank 7 in the alchemy is called a ''King grade alchemy master''. ''Ding, Do you want to assimte the third part of chapter one? While Ajax was excited, the system once again asked him the same question. ''Huh?'' ''System, isn''t it painful?'' Controlling his excitement, Ajax asked the system with a frown on his face when he saw the second system notification. ''Ding, Yes. The pain will be three times more painful than the pain endured by the host during the assimtion of the second part. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at the system''s reply because he sensed that the system was intentionally asking him that same question again and again. The thing is, when Ajax tried to assimte the second part of chapter one, the system suggested him not to assimte the second and asked him to wait until he became a little stronger. However, right now, the system is asking him whether he wants to assimte thest part of chapter one or not?. ''System, I am barely able to endure the pain during the second part. So, do you think I will survive while assimting the third part?'' Ajax replied to the system with a bitter smile. What he said was right. If not for the old voice in his head, Ajax would have been in trouble. So, instead of giving a direct answer, Ajax asked the system whether he would assimte thest part or not? ''Ding, The host is not a regr general realm cultivator. So, you can try assimting thest part. This time, Ajax confirmed that the system was toying with me. ''I will assimte when I be powerful.'' Ajax shook his head as he decided to postpone thest part of the assimtion of Alchemy for another date. ''Anyway, what is the second chapter?'' Since he already got to know about the first chapter and even assimted the two parts of knowledge in it, Ajax was curious about it before trying to turn the page. However, he was unable to open the next page, making him frown a little. ''Ding, The host can only open the next chapter when he finished theplete assimtion of its previous chapter. Even before Ajax could ask a question, the system answered him. ''I can''t open the next page until I be a king grade alchemy master?'' Ajax raised his brows and continued thinking, ''To assimte thest part of the alchemy chapter, I have to be stronger and to be stronger, I have to start my mission of ''Destroying the worlds'' as soon as possible.'' Thinking all this, Ajax became a little tired because he had many things to do before he could start that ''World destroying'' mission. First, he has to resolve the problem of the summoner''s group. Second, he has to destroy all 28 fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s group. Third, he has to tame the two old tribes from the western foxnds toplete the mission. Fourth, he has to enter the sacred pool of the royal family. Last but not least, he has to check on his dimensional crevice to im full ownership of it. Of course, thinking about all these things, anyone''s head would spin. Nevertheless, Ajax calmed down and muttered, ''One at a time.'' ''System, show me my spirit points.'' After storing the summoner''s codex back into his inventory, Ajax asked about the spirit points. Earlier, when he killed Derrick, he received some additional rewards like spirit points. Along with those spirit points, he knew he already had enough to buy another elemental paradise for one of his elemental spirits. ''Ding, Spirit points:- 205. Soon, the system gave the information on his spirit points bnce. ''Excellent. Finally, I can buy an auxiliary elemental paradise.'' Ajax didn''t expect he would buy an auxiliary elemental paradise this soon because he was clueless about earning spirit points other than killing demi king real cultivators. However, today, he found out that he could get hundreds of spirit points by killing a peak elite general realm summoner. Even though it was rare to find summoners in the smaller world, it was not hard in normal worlds like the purple stone world. Because of nature''s impure essence, the number of summoners in the Zrochester province was very small. However, there were many summoners in the other two provinces because of the rich essence of nature. ''But the problem is finding an evil summoner is hard.'' Ajax knew he could enter the other provinces in the future; however, Ajax didn''t like killing people unless they came at him. So, Ajax felt it would be his biggest problem. ''Wait a second. Then why did I not get any spirit points when I killed Jastin?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought back to the time where he killed Jastin, the number disciple of the assassin sect. At that time, he didn''t get a single point. ''Looks like there are other factors involved in getting the spirit points. Anyway, I will just focus on the things at hand.'' Soon, Ajax pushed aside the thoughts regarding it, and without thinking much, he opened the new system feature ''Elemental spirit stone''. ''I want to buy an auxiliary elemental paradise.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax opened the elemental paradise section. ''Ding, Please select an auxiliary elemental paradise. There were many auxiliary elemental paradises like lightning, poison, ice. However, Ajax had already decided on what type of auxiliary elemental paradise to buy. So, without wasting any time, he chose, ''I want a space elemental paradise.'' Actually, Ajax was in a dilemma when he received the 100 spirit points for killing Derrick. And the dilemma was whether he should buy a blood elemental spirit or space elemental spirit because both each elemental spirit had their own advantages. However, there was one particr reason why he chose a space elemental paradise over the blood elemental paradise, and it was that the blood elemental spirit could increase his cultivation by refining the blood of his enemies; however, Prophis had no such skills. So, Ajax felt it was best for Prophis to have the elemental paradise. ''Nevertheless, as long as I get enough spirit points, I will buy the blood elemental paradise for sure.'' Ajax swore to himself as he selected to buy the blood elemental paradise for the next time. Among all the auxiliary elemental spirits, Ajax felt that Cerauno, Halo, Prophis, and Blood are the powerful elemental spirits with powerful skills that will be very useful for Ajax. Since Cerauno and Halo already had their own elemental paradises, Ajax decided to give the next elemental paradises to Prophis. After him, Blood will be given his own elemental paradise. ''Ding, Deducted 200 spirit points from the host''s ount. ''Ding, A space elemental paradise will be constructed within 12 hours in your inner world. So please wait until the construction is finished. Soon, Ajax got a couple of system notifications as the construction of space elemental paradise has started in the inner world. At the same time, his spirit store ount bnce had turned from 205 to 5, making him bitterly shake his head. **** Sam_Chilton, thanks for motivating me with the SWORD. Chapter 833: Refining Derricks corpse

Chapter 833: Refining Derrick''s corpse

''Even though there are many items that can be useful for my elemental spirits, I am low on spirit points to buy any of them.'' Ajax nced over the other sections in the elemental spirit store as he felt he couldn''t buy anything from the elemental spirit store for some time. ''System, why are there no elementalw stones?'' Since the system said that the elemental spirit store contains all the items that can be helpful to the elemental spirits, Ajax was unable to find any elementalw stones. ''Ding, Currently, the element spirit store is still at level 1. So, only basic items of the elemental spirits can be avable to the host. ''Oh.'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised because of the words ''Basic items''. ''If legend grade items are basic items, then how powerful will the next level of items be.'' When Ajax thought of the items that can be unlocked in the elemental spirit store in the future, he was greatly excited. ''System, how can I increase its level?'' However, the problem is on how to increase the elemental spirit store''s level. ''Ding, The host must spend more and more spirit points to upgrade the elemental spirit store to the next level. ''Okay. I will stop thinking about the next level and only focus on getting more and more elemental paradise. Moreover, even if the next level of the elemental spirit store is unlocked, I can''t buy it because I am sure it will have a very high price.'' After seeing the system notification, Ajax decided to stop thinking about the elemental spirit store''s next level. The thing is, even a level 1 elemental skill crystal is priced at 1000 spirit stones. So, Ajax guessed the elementalw stone, which can not only increase the battle prowess of the elemental spirit but it will even give a skill rted to the elementalw, will be priced at a high price. Moreover, he doesn''t have the spirit points to buy a regr elemental paradise, not to mention buying an elementalw stone. ''Right! Time to upgrade my elemental spirits.'' While closing the elemental spirit store''s holographic screen, Ajax''s eyesnded on an item that reminded him about upgrading the strength of his elemental spirits. After killing Derrick and his elemental spirits, Ajax didn''t forget to store Derrick''s body and some shining crystals. At that time, he picked more than six red-coloured crystals; however, Ajax didn''t have the time to check what the other crystal was. After all, he was in a hurry to leave the western foxnds because he thought Ren was currently staying somewhere in the Shixato wilds. Nevertheless, all he has right now is time as he waits for someone from the summoner''s group toe after him. ''Anyway, let''s check out those crystals.'' With a thought, he summoned all the crystals he had gained from the earlier fight. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental spirit stone. Element:- Fire Grade:- Elite general realm. Quantity:- 6 He looked at the six red-coloured crystals that looked simr and became a little excited. ''Wait for a second. I can only use these elemental spirit stones on fire elemental spirits, right?'' Ajax already knew the answer. So, the system didn''t give any reply. ''Right now, I only have two fire elemental spirits, and both of them can''t use these six elemental spirit stones.'' Ajax was no longer excited to see the elemental spirit stones in his hands. Volcanis has already entered the elite general realm. So, he can''t use the elite general realm spirit stone. Ignis, Ajax''s second firie elemental spirit, currently has the strength of level 1 elitemander realm. ''I need to find a general realm elemental spirit stone for Ignis before he could use one of these six elemental spirit stones.'' Ajax shook his head before looking at the seventh red-coloured crystal, which was much bigger than the elemental spirit stone, and at the same time, its shape was also a little different from other stones. ''Ding, Item name:- Elementalw stone. Element:- Fire Grade:- Level 5. Elementalw:- Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids. ''What? I can get the elementalw stone by killing the elemental spirits?'' Ajax was shocked at the sudden revtion and continued to check the information on the stone. ''Level 5 elementalw stone?'' Once again, Ajax was shocked to see the grade of the stone. ''Looks like this elementalw will be very powerful.'' At the same, he was the elementalw which was the merged elementalw of the elementalws of Derrick''s three official elemental spirits. ''Enter.'' Controlling his excitement, Ajax entered into his inner world and looked for Volcanis. However, seeing that Volcanis was busy refining the elemental spirit essence, Ajax didn''t disturb him because as long as he refines another drop of elemental spirit essence, he could gain a blessing from the ''Tree of blessing''. Among his two fire elemental spirits, Ajax felt it was best to give the elementalw stone to Volcanis because Volcanis was a special fire elemental spirit because of the title ''King of fire''. It gave him an advantage among the fire elemental spirits. Nevertheless, he had even learned a special technique on his own in the battle tower. So, Ajax didn''t think much in choosing between the two fire elemental spirits. ''I will refine Derrick''s body until Volcanis opens his eyes.'' Nevertheless, since Volcanis is busy refining the elemental spirit essence, Ajax stored the elementalw stone in the inventory before walking towards the Arcane spirit turtle, which waszily sitting beside the mini thunder pool. From time to time, the turtle extended its head into the thunder pool for who knows what reason. "How are you, Green?" As soon as he reached the huge arcane spirit turtle, he rubbed the hard furnace-shaped shell and asked it. ''Grr'' The arcane spirit turtle let out a low growl replying to Ajax. Unlike other spirit beasts, this arcane spirit turtle is different. Even though it had already reached rank 5, it can''t talk. Ajax felt there are a lot of things he still needs to know about the spirit beasts. However, he didn''t think about it much before taking out Derrick''s corpse and threw it in the refining shell of the arcane spirit turtle. ''Green, use the Ultimate refining'' and refine the corpse.'' Hearing his order, the arcane spirit turtle nodded its head, and soon the furnace-shaped shell of the turtle closed. ''Trrrr'' During the process, Ajax heard various sounds from the shell. ''Ding, It will take five minutes to refine the corpse. Please wait. Soon, a system notification rang in his head, asking him to wait for five minutes. ''Okay'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at his surroundings, and caught sight of Volcanis opening his eyes. "Finally, you opened your eyes." With a smiling face, Ajax walked towards Volcanis. "Sorry, master, for letting you wait, but I was on the verge of refining a drop of elemental spirit essence." Soon, Volcanis apologized to Ajax for not opening his eyes earlier even though he sensed Ajax''s arrival. "No problem. So, this is your third drop of elemental spirit essence, right? Go and give it to the ''Tree of blessing'' and receive your blessing." Ajax shook his head and asked Volcanis to receive his first blessing from the ''Tree of blessing''. Chapter 834: Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids

Chapter 834: Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids

# Win-win special chapter Since Volcanis had already given two drops of his elemental spirit essence, Ajax was looking forward to thest drop, and as soon as Volcanis give the third drop, he would get the blessing from the ''Tree of blessing''. ''It can wait, summoning master. Is there anything you need me for?'' As for Volcanis, Ajaxes firstpared to the ''Tree of blessing''. So, he asked Ajax whether he had some work for him. Looking at Volcanis, the first elemental spirit he formed a contract with, Ajax felt his heart warm when he saw how loyal Volcanis was. At the same time, he was proud of Volcanis for his dedication to bing stronger. "Okay." Since Volcanis showed such loyalty, Ajax didn''t force him to give hisst drop of spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing'' and took out the elementalw stone from his inventory. "I wanted to give you this stone that can help you learn fire elementalw." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax gave the level 5 elementalw stone to Volcanis. "Th..this is..." Volcanis was shocked at the sight of the elemental spirit stone and started stuttering because an elemental spirit stone is the key to enter the king realm. Even though it is possible to learn an elementalw without the help of an elementalw stone, not everyone will be lucky, and it would take decades or even centuries to learn an elementalw. After that, they have to increase the elementalw they learned to level 10 before condensing souls using that elementalw. So, the more time a cultivator wastes his time learning an elementalw, his chances of entering the king realm would be decreased. "Take it and learn thew." Ajax put the elementalw stone in Volcanis hands and asked him to learn. "Yes, summoning master." Soon, Volcanis controlled his emotions and epted the elementalw stone. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he epted the elementalw stone, it turned into small light sparkles and entered into Volcanis'' body. At the same time, Volcanis''s body froze and started glowing with bright red-coloured light. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit, Volcanis, has gained theprehension into a fire elementalw ''Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroid.'' While Ajax wondered what was happening to Volcanis, he received a system notification that made him nod his head and waited for the bright light to disappear. .... In one corner of the Shixato wilds. While Ajax was in his inner world checking his rewards and doing various things, a huge portal opened in a forest filled with huge trees. Soon, a middle-aged man and a young man walked out of the portal. The middle-aged man had a serious look on his face, whereas the young man had an excited look on his face. "Master Red, the killer is currently hiding inside the Lightning hawk tribe. It is in that direction." Elen pointed in the direction of the lightning hawk tribe and informed Master Red about Ajax''s current whereabouts. "Let''s go then." Holding Elen with one hand, Master Red flew into the sky before rushing towards the lightning hawk tribe at an incredible speed. .... In another corner of the Shixato wilds. Just as Master Red and Elen appeared in the five elemental world, the powerful summoner Ren opened his eyes inside a cave. "Sumo, it looks like we have somepany. Why don''t we go and wee him?" Ren stood from his ce without waiting for a reply from his dual elemental spirit and stretched his body a little. Even though Ren had been severely injured, he was still a cultivator above the king realm. So, his senses were very strong. Because of that, the moment Master Red appeared in the five elemental world, Ren was able to sense the presence of Master Red, who also had a strength of King realm or above that. Surprisingly, Master Red was unable to sense the presence of Ren, and he didn''t have a single clue that there was another above king realm summoner in the five elemental world. Currently, Master Red ispletely focused on Ajax and his dragon. .... Inside the white castle of the lightning hawk tribe. As for Ajax, he didn''t have a single clue that two powerful summoners were rushing towards him at an incredible speed. Currently, he was waiting for Volcanis to open his eyes. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit for learning the basics of the elementalw ''Fire haven full of flying swords and floating asteroids.'' ''Ding, As long as he cultivates those basics, he can sessfully learn the level 1 elementalw. The process didn''t take much time as the bright red-coloured light on Volcanis'' body disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, a couple of system notifications rang in his head. ''Huh?'' Ajax was excited at the first system notification; however, he was disappointed a little when he read the second system notification. ''So, Volcanis still has to learn thew.'' When he saw how brightly Volcanis had shined, Ajax thought Volcanis would learn the level 1 elementalw. But, ording to the system, Volcanis only learned the basics and still has a long way to reach level 1. ''I should be content with it.'' Soon, Ajax thought to himself as he said to Volcanis, "Congrattions on learning the basics of the elementalw. As long as you continue to work hard, your path to the elemental king realm is cleared." "It''s all thanks to you, master; otherwise, I would have been killed by the undead king long back." Volcanis gave the entire credit to Ajax because Ajax was the one who saved him from the clutches of the undead king. At the time, Ajax killed a low-level undead priest who was trying to find the secrets of the elemental spirit under the orders of the undead king. Ajax was lucky to kill that undead priest and save Volcanis, Necros, and Spirus. "Even with my help, you worked hard to reach your current level." Ajax replied to Volcanis with a slight smile on his face and reminded Volcanis, "Go and give the third drop of your spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing'' and receive a good item." "Yes, summoning master." Volcanis nodded his head and walked towards the ''Tree of blessing'' along with Ajax. ''Drop'' The moment they reached the ''Tree of blessing'', Volcanis closed his eyes and slowly summoned a single drop of fire elemental spirit essence from his body and dropped it on the ''Tree of blessing'', which is currently three meters in height. With the continuous supply of elemental spirit essences from Volcanis, Bane, Necros, and Cerauno, the ''Tree of blessing'' started growing at an incredible speed. The elemental spirit essence is the purest liquid form of the essence of nature, and it will help not only nts and trees but also help the cultivators. So, Ajax was not surprised at the growing speed of the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the red-coloured elemental spirit essences touched the tree, the was absorbed by the tree, and soon, the ''Tree of blessing'' started experiencing minor changes along with the appearance of a red-coloured fruit on one of its branches. Chapter 835: Arrival of Master Red

Chapter 835: Arrival of Master Red

Win-win special chapter Like the fruit Cerauno got from the ''Tree of blessing'', the red-coloured fruit hanging on the branch allocated to Volcanis was also glowing with bright light, making anyone who saw it drool. "Volcanis, what are you waiting for? Take it and eat." Even though Ajax was also tempted to eat the fruit, he controlled his urge and asked the fire elemental spirit to eat. If not for the ''Tree of blessing'' restriction that only elemental spirits who provided the tree with the elemental spirit essence can gain the rewards from the tree, Ajax would have already eaten it. "Yes, summoning master." Volcanis was also tempted to eat; however, he looked at Ajax for his permission. So, as soon as he got permission from Ajax, Volcanis didn''t wait for anything as he plucked the red-coloured fruit before eating it. Volcanis finished eating the fruit in three bites and closed his eyes. Soon, his body started glowing, just like how it glowed earlier. ''Don''t tell me, Volcanis is learning a new elementalw.'' Ajax raised his eyebrows when he saw how Volcanis was glowing once again and thought he would learn a new fire elementalw. ''Maybe not.'' However, he shook his head and canceled that thought because it is rare for an elemental spirit to learn multiplews in the same element. A dual elemental spirit can learn two elementalws belonging to two different elements; however, it is even impossible for the dual elemental spirit to learn two elementalws from the same element. ''I will wait until Volcanis wake up from his enlightenment state and see what he learned.'' The state in which the elemental spirit is glowing by their elemental colour, Ajax named it as the enlightenment state. Since there is no way he could find out what Volcanis was learned without the help of the system or Volcanis, Ajax could only wait and looked at the huge turtle in the distance. ''Looks like the refining of Derrick''s corpse will be done sooner than Volcanis enlightened state.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax started walking towards the huge arcane turtle. ''Master, the powerful cultivator we met yesterday is asking for you. What should I do?'' While walking towards the arcane turtle, Ajax received Snow''s message through the spirit sense. ''Oh. He is here.'' Ajax didn''t expect Ren to arrive before he was in any actual trouble. So, he was surprised when he heard Snow''s words. ''Wait for a second. I wille out.'' Even though the refining process will be over within a couple of minutes, Ajax didn''t dare to make Ren wait for him. So, without any hesitation, he directly left the inner world. Since Volcanis and the Arcane spirit turtle are in the inner world, Ajax didn''t worry about them much and walked out of his room with a slight smile on his face. "Master Ren, you are here." As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Ajax respectfully greeted Ren. "I am here to watch a show. Don''t mind me and do your work." As for Ren, he was sitting on a wooden chair while looking outside through the main door. ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he heard those words and followed Ren''s line of sight. Since Ajax''s senses were much better than any of his peers, Ajax could sense a powerful beinging towards them. ''Don''t tell me, he is someone from the summoner''s group.'' Ajax only thought of the summoner''s group because he could not evaluate the cultivation of the middle-aged man flying towards them. The system can evaluate anyone''s cultivation below the king realm. So, when it was unable to evaluate the middle-aged man''s cultivation, Ajax guessed the middle-aged man must be someone from the summoner''s group. "Who dared to kill my sessor?" Master Rednded on the ground in front of the white castle and spoke in a low tone. However, many of the lightning hawk tribesmen shivered when they heard Master Red''s tone. "Master, it is dangerous for you to go." Just as Ajax wanted to go out and confront the middle-aged man, his three contracted spirit beasts stopped him and suggested that he stay inside the white castle. "Don''t worry. I have it under control." As for Ajax, he shook his head, and with a smile on his face, he walked out of the white castle. Even though the three contracted spirit beasts didn''t stop Ajax froming out of the white castle, they walked in front of Ajax to protect their Master. "If you are talking about Derrick, of course, I am the one who killed him." By the time he came out of the white castle, the slight smile on Ajax''s face had turned into a serious look as he replied to Master Red. "How dare you speak like that to Master Red." Even though Elen knew he was not a match for Ajax, who killed the strongest younger generation member of the summoner''s group, he angrily berated Ajax. As for his confidence,? of course, it came from Master Red as Elen knew that as long as Master Red is beside him, no one will dare toy a hand on him. "Why will I not dare?" Ajax scoffed at Elen as he continued, "If you want, I can send you to meet your senior brother Derrick. Do you want to go?" Inside his heart, Ajax was not as confident as he looked on the outside. Currently, he is continuously repeating the same line, and it is, ''I hope Master Ren will help me.'' "Young man, you are very arrogant to say those words in front of me." Master Red was annoyed and irritated at Ajax''s word; however, he didn''t attack Ajax as he wanted to see the divine dragon first before killing Ajax. "Someone said that a cultivator should have some good qualities, and I thought being arrogant is good quality. So, I am arrogant. What can you do about it?" At the same time, in his mind, Ajax ordered the system, ''System, as soon as Master Red shows any sign of attacking me, send me and my summons back to the purple stone world. ''Ding, Everything is all prepared. The host need not worry about it.'' There are times Ajax really liked the system, and the current situation could be said one. ''Why is Master Red letting that young man insult us like that?'' Elen clenched his fist when he heard Ajax''s words, and the most important thing is Master Red is not killing Ajax and letting him insult them and their summoner''s group. "Damn you." This was the first time a general realm cultivator spoke like that after bing a king realm cultivator. So, Master Red was truly angered. "Even though you killed my sessor, I am willing to give you a chance. As long as your dragon wins against Elen''s dragon, I will not pursue the death of my sessor and your arrogant behaviour. What do you say?" Suppressing his anger, Master Red asked Ajax with a m look on his face. ***** Sam_Chilton, thanks for the RING. MagnusChase2020, thanks for the POTION. Goodness_Oyebode, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Wondy_Anosike, rlogsdom, thanks for the BALLOONS. Chapter 836: 5 vs 5 Elemental spirit battle

Chapter 836: ''5 vs 5'' Elemental spirit battle

''Huh?'' However, Ajax frowned when he heard those words and thought about what Master Red was nning. ''Wait for a second. He said the dragon. It looks like he is after my divine dragon.'' Finally, Ajax understood why Master Red was still not attacking even after he insulted the summoner''s group. If a cultivator dies, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts inside his spirit consciousness will die along with him. Not only that, the bodies of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beast would disappear without a trace. That is the only reason why Master Red was controlling his anger and spoke in a calm tone. ''Interesting.'' As for the powerful summoner Ren, he looked at Ajax and Master Red with an interesting look on his face. For the entire time, Master Red didn''t bother to look at anyone except for Ajax. So, he failed to notice that another powerful summoner was watching everything that was happening between Ajax and Master Red with an interesting look on his face. ''You don''t have to fear this so-called Master Red. If he attacks you, I will take care of him.'' Just as Ajax was thinking about what to do, he heard Ren''s voice inside his head, making him excited. "Sure." Ajax was waiting for Ren''s words for a while now, and when he finally got Ren''s support, the anxiousness that was building up in Ajax''s heart disappeared without a trace. So, without any hesitation, he agreed to Master Red''s condition. "Good." Master Red nodded his head as he silently thought inside his head, ''Once you summon your dragon, I will make sure you regret messing with my summoner''s group.'' Master Red didn''t have any ns to let Ajax go. ''I hope his divine dragon has the ''divine blessing'' skill.'' At the same time, he also hoped Ajax''s divine dragon to have the ''Divine blessing'' skill so that he could slightly increase his battle prowess. The thing is, the divine blessing is amon skill for the divine dragons except for a few unlucky divine dragons. However, there is a limit for all the divine dragons that they can''t bless someone who has higher cultivation than them because it will take all the essence of nature in their body, which in turn kill them. Nevertheless, Master Red was not worried about the death of the divine dragon because he could even use the dead divine dragon. ''Divine blessing while alive and dragon parts for it died. This is how someone should use a divine dragon without wasting anything.'' Master Red cunninglyughed inside his heart and waited for Ajax to summon his divine dragon out of his spirit consciousness. "Before the ''Dragon battle'', I want to have an ''Elemental spirit battle'' with the young man beside you." Instead of summoning the divine dragon, Ajax said that he wanted to have an elemental spirit battle. ''Damn this bastard.'' Master Red cursed Ajax; however, he didn''t show it on his face as he replied, "Sure." "By the way, how many elemental spirits do you have? Elen has five elemental spirits, and if you have two unofficial elemental spirits, why don''t you fight ''5 vs 5'' elemental spirit battle?" Suddenly, Master Red thought of something and asked Ajax how many elemental spirits Ajax had in his spirit consciousness. Actually, it was Master Red''s first time failing to see the number of elemental spirits a general realm cultivator had in his spirit consciousness. So, he asked Ajax whether he is okay with the ''5 vs 5'' fight. "Excellent...luckily, I have two unofficial elemental spirits too." As for Ajax, he revealed an excited smile on his face as he said, " ''5 vs 5'' elemental spirit battle is fine with me." Even though Ajax had more elemental spirits, he only has five elite spirit general realm elemental spirits. As for all his elemental spirits, they were still not powerful enough to fight the elite general realm beings. "Excellent." Master Red intentionally asked for a ''5 vs 5'' elemental spirit battle because he didn''t want Ajax to extend the ''Dragon battle'', saying that he has other elemental spirits to fight. So, as long as Ajax uses all his elemental spirits, the battle will be over within a short time, and Ajax has to summon the dragon. "I need 10 minutes to prepare my elemental spirits for the fight. So, why don''t you wait with my opponent in the open ground five miles from here." Ajax wanted Volcanis to wake up from his enlightened state. So, he asked for 10 minutes for Volcanis sake, and he chose a ce for the battle five miles away from the lightning tribe. Since the fight is among the elite general realm elemental spirits, the attacks could destroy the entire lightning tribe. "10 minutes?" Master Red frowned for a moment when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he nodded his head and agreed. "If you are thinking of escaping from me, then you can just remove that thought because I have marked you with my spirit mark. No matter where you hide in this entire universe, I wille after you." After saying those words, Master Red held Elen''s hand and flew into the air. For the entire time, Elen''s facial expressions were continuously changing because he would fight with the summoner who killed Derrick. He didn''t expect that Master Red was the one who set him up with the elemental spirit battle. "Master Red, my elemental spirits are yet to learn any elementalws; however, his lightning elemental spirit has learned the ''Thunderw''. So I don''t think I can win against him." While flying, Elen apologetically said to Master Red. "Do you think I don''t know that?" Master Red shook his head as he continued, "I agreed for his ''ten minutes preparation'' for your sake to help one of your elemental spirits in learning an elementalw." "Really?" Elen was excited when he heard those words, and soon, his confidence levels started increasing. ...¡­ In front of the white castle, It was currentlypletely filled with the lightning hawk tribesmen and the upper echelon of the tribe. Everyone was having worried looks on their faces as they looked at Ajax. Even though they already knew that Master Red was from the summoner''s group, they respected Ajax more than the summoner''s group. Ajax helped them be a powerful tribe, whereas they only heard that the summoner''s group helped someone in the five elemental world. "Ajax, from the looks of it, that middle-aged man might not keep his promise." Grand Elder Qwerek walked forward as he said his thoughts on Master Red. "I know, Elder Qwerek. I have a n for it." How could Ajax not know what Master Red''s intentions were? But Ajax''s confidence came from Ren. "It''s good if you have a n, but let me remind you that the lightning hawk tribe will try its best to help you in fighting against him." Even though Elder Qwerek knew it was certain death fighting against Master Red, they owed Ajax so much. So, they were not fearful of death. "Three-legged fire crow tribe will do the same, Master." "The Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe is with you, Master." Soon, Raweth and Sparrow said in a serious tone that made Ajax''s heart warm. Chapter 837: Bloodline Crystal, Invincible Fire

Chapter 837: Bloodline Crystal, Invincible Fire

"Everyone, thanks for your support, but don''t worry, I got everything under control." Looking at Ren, Ajax said those words to the lightning hawk tribesmen. Since Snow and others were his contracted spirit beasts, they don''t have any choice, and they have to help me. However, the lightning hawk tribesmen can just give up on him and act like they don''t know Ajax to escape from Master Red. But, still, they said that they would try their best to protect him. As for his three contracted spirit beasts, they followed Ajax''s line of sight towards Ren and understood that they didn''t need to worry about Master Red and his summoner''s group. "I will go and prepare for the battle now." Soon, Ajax walked towards Ren and said those words. ''As long as Master Red attacks, I will protect you; as for the young man who came with him, you are on your own.'' Ren nodded his head and transmitted his voice to Ajax''s head before closing his eyes. ''Thank you, Master Ren.'' Ajax thanked Ren before rushing to his room. ''Enter.'' As soon as he entered his room, Ajax didn''t waste a single second before entering the inner world. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax''s spirit consciousness entered the inner world; however, Volcanis was still in the same ce and still glowing. ''Ding, The arcane spirit turtle refined Derrick''s corpse. Please check the end product from the refinement. Just as Ajax looked at the huge green-coloured turtle, he received a system notification from the system that made him reveal a slight smile on his face. Soon, he flew towards the huge turtle, and when the turtle saw Ajaxing towards it, it opened the furnace-like shell on its back before throwing a crystal towards the sky. ''Swoosh'' Since Ajax has control over everything in his inner world, the flying crystal flew towards him with a thought from him. ''Let''s see what this crystal is used for.'' Unlike all crystals he had seen so far in his life, the crystal in his hands looked too in and simple. If not for the crystaling out of the shell of the arcane spirit turtle, Ajax would have probably not even bothered to check the crystal. ''Ding, Item name:- Bloodline crystal. Use:- Helps a cultivator gain a specific bloodline stored in the crystal. More information:- The bloodline crystal is usually condensed by the king realm cultivators nearing their death. So that, after their death, their descendants can use the bloodline crystal to get their bloodline. Soon, the information regarding the crystal in his hand appeared in front of his eyes. "What?" Ajax was shocked after reading the information and looked at the crystal in his hand with an excited look on his face. There are two reasons for his excitement. One, he was excited because he could get a new bloodline. Two, he knew what the bloodline stored in the bloodline crystal is. Since Derrick had the ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline'', the bloodline crystal gained by refining his corpse will give the same bloodline to the cultivator. ''Ding, Do you want to use the bloodline crystal and awaken a new bloodline? While he was in his excitement, Ajax received a system notification that helped hime out of his excitement. ''Yes.'' Why would he not awaken a new bloodline if he had the chance? So, of course, Ajax nodded his head. ''Kacha'' As soon as he said ''Yes'', the crystal in his hands broke into pieces before dissolving into his hands. ''Aargh'' There was no trace of the bloodline crystal in his hand; however, a sharp pain rose in his head. ''This is not a painpared to the pain I received while assimting the second part of the Alchemy from the summoner''s codex.'' Ajax motivated himself to stay strong, and of course, what he said was right! Compared to the earlier pain, the current pain in his head is less. ¡­ In an open ground away from the lightning hawk tribe. Master Red and Elennded on the open ground that was five miles away from the lightning hawk tribe. "Take out the elementalw stone I gave you back in the fire castle and all your official elemental spirits." Master Red checked his surroundings for a moment before asking Elen to take out the elementalw stone. "Yes, Master Red." Elen nodded his head, and while suppressing his excitement, he summoned the fire elemental spirit stone from his space ring and three official elemental spirits from his spirit consciousness. Elen''s current cultivation is level 5 elite general realm, and he has three official elemental spirits and two unofficial elemental spirits. Master Red ordered all the members from the fire base of the summoner''s group to give priority to the official elemental spirits when ites to increasing their levels. So, almost everyone''s official elemental spirits in the fire base of the summoner''s group had higher cultivationspared to the unofficial elemental spirits. Even now, Master Red chose to help an official elemental spirit in learning the elementalw. "As I said earlier, I will help your elemental spirit in learning an elementalw; however, it entirely depends on your elemental spirit." Master Red looked at the three fire elemental spirits standing beside Elen and picked a muscr fire elemental spirit holding a huge fire mace. "You can send back your other elemental spirits." After picking the elemental spirits, Master Red ordered Elen to send the other two elemental spirits back into his spirit consciousness, and Elen followed the order without wasting any time. "Do you know what elementalw is stored inside it?" After Elen sent his elemental spirits back into his spirit consciousness, Master Red asked him with a mysterious smile on his face. Unless the elemental spirit learns the elementalw from the elementalw stone, it is almost impossible for a cultivator to know what elementalw is stored inside it. So, Elen shook his head, indicating that he didn''t know. As for Master Red, he was the one who picked the elementalw stone from one of his enemies. So, he knew about the elementalw inside it. "What is it, Master Red?" Unable to hold his curiosity, Elen asked about the Elementalw. "The elementalw is ''Invincible fire''. Even if your elemental spirit learns this elementalw to level 1, it could fight against the elemental spirits that learned regr level 3 elementalw." Master Red''s words made Elen even more excited as he continued to listen to those words, "So, your elemental spirit will be on equal terms with the level 1 thunderw. Since all your official elemental spirits have the cultivation of level 10 elite general realm, you don''t have to think about losing." "Thank you, Master Red." As soon as Master Red finished his words, Elen hurriedly thanked Master Red, and his respect towards Master Red increased by another level. "Also, if your elemental spirits win this battle within a short time, I will reward you with another elementalw stone." Master Red gave another offer to Elen to make Elen even more focused on winning the fight. "Of course, I will try my best, Master Red." Elen nodded his head. ******* DaRealMastalin, thanks for the POTION. Xion_ya, L0N3_W47K3R, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 838: Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline, Celestial Fire Realm

Chapter 838: Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline, Celestial Fire Realm

As long as a cultivator reaches the king realm, he will not worry about the elementalw stones because he could just enter a smaller world or normal world and kill an elite general realm cultivator or his elemental spirits to gain the elementalw stones from their bodies. However, there were some troubles in that process. Usually, many normal worlds will be protected by a king realm expert who guards his world against the otherworldly king realm experts or otherworldly invasions. As for smaller worlds, the elite general realm cultivators rarely learn the elementalw and even if they learn, getting the elementalw stones from their bodies depends on luck. That''s right! It is not 100 percent guaranteed to get an elementalw stone as long as someone kills an elite general realm being who learned elementalw. It only has a 50 percent chance, and if that being didn''t want his enemy to gain his elementalw, he would disperse the elementalw from his body. Nevertheless, it was not a big deal for Master Red. Moreover, he has the summoner''s group, and as long as he pays some contribution points, he could buy the elementalw stones. "What is your name?" Nodding his head at Elen, Master Red looked at the muscr elemental spirit and asked him for his name. "It''s Fues, Master Red." The muscr fire elemental spirit replied with a respectful look. "Hold this stone in your hands and close your eyes to feel the elementalw inside the stone." Soon, Master Red started teaching Fues how to learn the elementalw from the elementalw stone. Fues didn''t dare to ck as he listened to Master Red''s words with a great focus and followed whatever Master Red said. The process continued as Master Red helped Fues in learning the elementalw. ... In Ajax''s inner world. ''Huf Huf Ajax heavily panted until he got a system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully awakening a new bloodline. Please open the bloodline section to check for more information on the new bloodline. Without wasting any time, Ajax opened the bloodline section. ''Ding, Bloodlines:- Abyssal beast god bloodline (level 2), Elemental spirit merger bloodline (level 1) ''As expected, I got Derrick''s bloodline.'' Ajax had already guessed what bloodline he would awaken from the bloodline crystal. So, he was not surprised much; however, he was excited about his new bloodline. Soon, he focused on his new bloodline to get more information on it. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Elemental spirit merger (level 1) Effect:- Merges two elemental spirits of the same element into a single elemental spirit which has the skills from two elemental spirits. Moreover, the merged elemental spirit has three times the battle prowess of the elemental spirit, which has the highest cultivation. More information:- A summoner bloodline which is rarely seen even in the greater worlds. Note:- This bloodline can be activated along with another bloodline (not more than one bloodline.) ''Excellent.'' After seeing the effect of the bloodline, Ajax was greatly excited. Even though he already knew how powerful the merged elemental spirit was, after reading the information about the bloodline, Ajax finally understood that the bloodline has more potential to it. ''And the most important thing is I can use two bloodlines at the same time.'' Ajax was looking for the note in the holographic because important things will be written there, and after reading it, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''Even though both the bloodlines are powerful, in my opinion, the Abyssal beast god bloodline is more powerfulpared to the Elemental spirit merger bloodline.'' Looking at the two bloodlines in his ''Bloodline management'', Ajax muttered to himself. In the bloodline management feature, Ajax could merge his bloodlines; however, he didn''t have any ns on merging the two bloodlines. Since he could parallelly use the two bloodlines at once, Ajax didn''t worry much about the bloodlines before closing all the system holographs in front of him. "Volcanis, you woke up." Just as he closed, the bright light on Volcanis'' body disappeared, and at the same time, Volcanis opened his eyes. Seeing that, Ajax walked towards him with a slight smile on his face. ''What did you gain by eating the fruit from the ''Tree of blessing''?'' Currently, Ajax wanted his elemental spirits to be as powerful as possible because, within less than five minutes, he had to let five of his elemental spirits and five the elemental spirits of a member of the summoner''s group. So, Ajax asked Volcanis with a curious look on his face. "Summoning master, I learned a new elementalw." Volcanis replied to Ajax with a huge smile on his face. ''What?'' Even though Ajax said that Volcanis might learn a new elementalw, he did not expect Volcanis to learn another elementalw. So, he was shocked to hear Volcanis'' reply. "Yes, master, and it is as powerful as the elementalw that I gained basics into earlier." Volcanis nodded his head as he replied to Ajax saying about his new elementalw. ''Excellent,'' Ajax excitedly nodded his head as he continued thinking, ''With this, I have two elemental spirits with their own elementalws.'' Even though he was shocked, it was only for a moment before it was reced with excitement. There was a slight fear that his elemental spirits might lose against Elen because his elemental spirits'' strength is only level 1 and level 2 elite general realm. As for Elen''s elemental spirits, Ajax guessed it would be more than level 5 elite general realm. Even though Cereauno might stop two elemental spirits, the other three elemental spirits will kill his elemental spirits. However, since Volcanis had sessfully learned his first elementalw, Ajax''s confidence boosted to an incredible level. ''System, show me the details of his new elementalw.'' Soon, Ajax wanted to know the details about Volcanis new elementalw and asked the system to give those details. ''Ding, Elementalw:- Celestial fire realm (level 1). Information:- A 10-meter radius around the elemental spirit will be surrounded by the mes of the celestial realm. Effect:- 1) Any low-level beingsing into contact will be directly decimated. 2) As for others, depending on the cultivation of the enemies, their strength will be temporarily decreased. Soon, the information about the elementalw appeared in front of Ajax that made him reveal a slight smile. ''As Volcanis said, this elementalw is powerful. As long as Volcanis cultivate this elementalw to level 10, he will bepared to the peak elite general realm auxiliary elemental spirit with level 10 elementalw.'' Ajax imagined how powerful this elementalw would be in the future and couldn''t help but feel excited. "Now, it''s time to prepare the elemental spirits for the battle." Soon, he kept all those thoughts aside as he remembered that there is a battle waiting for him in a few minutes. So, he looked around his inner world for a moment before calling out a few elemental spirit names. "Volcanis, Cerauno, Necros, Bane and Zen. Get ready. You five are going to fight five powerful elemental spirits." Soon, all the elemental spirits he called rushed towards him except for Volcanis, who was already in front of him from the start. Chapter 839: Planning

Chapter 839: nning

Ajax looked at the five elemental spirits he had chosen to fight in the ''5 vs 5'' elemental spirit battle and carefully considered their strengths and weaknesses against the five elemental spirits. Since Master Red is from the fire base of the summoner''s group, Ajax guessed Elen only has fire elemental spirits, just like Derrick. Nevertheless, he can never be sure unless Elen was in danger. Volcanis, level 1 elite general realm, fire elemental spirit with one elementalw and many ''area of effect'' skills. Bane, level 1 elite general realm, poison elemental spirit with a powerful five elemental poison which can poison five types of elemental spirits. Cerauno, level 2 elite general realm, lightning elemental spirit with powerful skills and powerful elementalw. Necros, level 2 elite general realm, dark elemental spirit with a powerful undead army and a temporary invincible effect from one of the skills. Zen, level 3 elite general realm, dark elemental spirit with assassin-type skills can even kill a peak level 10 elite general realm cultivators who learned elementalws. ''First, I will use the abyssal beast god bloodline to increase your battle prowess by three times. The moment you feel the increase in your battle prowess, you have to finish the battle.'' Ajax started exining when they needed to wrap up the battle. ''As for you.'' Looking at Necros and Zen, Ajax continued saying, ''I will use my second bloodline to merge you two. I hope you two co-operate with each other in your merged form.'' Since he could only merge the elemental spirits with the same element, Necros and Zen are the perfect match. Moreover, Zen''s cultivation is level 3 elite general realm. So, the merged elemental spirit will have the same cultivation as Zen. ''I will give you a few minutes to understand each others'' attacks. I hope you can perform well.'' Ajax said a few more words and finally told them to discuss themselves regarding theing fight. ''Yes, summoning master.'' The five elemental spirits nodded their heads. As for Ajax, he left the inner world and walked out of his room. "It looks like you are well prepared." The moment he walked out of the door, Master Ren looked at Ajax and said with a slight smile on his face. The thing is, Master Ren tried to sense what Ajax was doing in the room; however, for some reason, his spirit consciousness was unable to see through the door, which made him surprised. He thought that the door must be inscribed with some powerful formations that can stop even the spirit consciousness of someone like him. ''Where did he get these formations?'' What''s even more shocking was, Master Ren was unable to see the formations on the door and thought, where did Ajax get those formations. Even though the white castle belongs to the Lightning hawk tribe, Master Ren knew Ajax was the reason for the development of the lightning hawk tribe. However, what Master Ren thought waspletely wrong. It was not the formations on the door that stopped his spirit consciousness; instead, it was the system that stopped it. However, since Ajax was not powerful enough to go against? Master Red, the system made it look like some kind of formation. Master Ren didn''t have much interest or knowledge in the formations. So, he didn''t bother to think much about it. "I am confident enough to defeat that young man in the ''5 vs 5'' elemental spirit battle." Ajax replied to Master Ren with a slight smile on his face. "Good then." Master Ren nodded his head and said, "Let''s go." "Yes." Ajax walked out of the white castle alongside Master Ren. Before that, he also gave orders to his three contracted spirit beasts to not follow him and asked them to look after their tribes. Even though they wanted toe and help their master, they knew they would only be a burden for Ajax. So, they epted the orders to look after their tribes. The thing is, in front of Master Red, it is impossible even if the three tribesbined their forces. Moreover, Master Ren is there to protect Ajax. Even though they had known each other for only a single day, they knew Master Ren needed Ajax to go back to his world. So, he will try his best to protect him. Soon, Master Red and Ajax rushed towards the location of the battle and saw Master Red and Elen were waiting for them with huge smiles on their faces. ''Who is he? Why can''t I sense his cultivation?'' Looking at Master Ren, Master Red frowned because he was unable to sense the cultivation of the ck-robed man beside Ajax. For some reason, Master Red felt an unknown fear when he looked into the eyes of the ck-robed man. ''It is not possible for a king realm cultivator to appear in this world.'' Master Red muttered those words to himself and thought, why would a cultivator more powerful than him appear in his world? ''If he is really more powerful than me, then many organizations would extend their invitations to him, and why would hee here? Moreover, there is no aura of any organizations on him.'' ''Sigh...why am I thinking so much? He is just a peak elite general realm cultivator.'' While he was thinking so much and having some inner fears when he saw Master Ren, suddenly he was able to sense the cultivation of Master Ren when he was within a few hundred meters of range. Only then, Master Red heaved a sigh of relief. ''Anyway, I have to keep an eye on him. There is something off about him.'' Nevertheless, Master Red still has some doubts about Master Ren. Unlike Master Red, Elen was not worried about anything because his confidence in winning against Ajax had reached another level after his elemental spirit learned a new elementalw. As for the ck-robed man, Elen didn''t even bother to take a look at him. ''So what if you are a peak elite general realm cultivator? I have a king realm cultivator to support me.'' With a smirk on his face, Elen thought in his head. ''Ignorance is such bliss.'' However, Ajax shook his head and looked at Elen with a face full of pity. "So, are you ready for the fight?" Soon, Elen asked Ajax with a scoff. He was annoyed when he saw the look on Ajax''s face. So, he wanted to kill his elemental spirits. "Of course, I am." Ajax nodded his head. "Let''s go and stand over there." Master Red pointed to a huge tree in the distance and said to Master Ren while trying to probe more about him. "Sure." Master Ren nodded his head as he followed Master Red to the huge tree leaving Ajax and Elen. "Swoosh" Soon, Master Red and Master Ren settled on the huge tree as Master Red shouted, "You can start fighting now." "Yes, Master Red." Elen nodded his head and distanced himself from Ajax as he called out his elemental spirits, "Everyone,e out." Soon, five fire elemental spirits appeared in front of Elen. ''Master Ren, are you sure about me using five elemental spirits with various elements?'' Chapter 840: Powering up before the acutal fight

Chapter 840: Powering up before the acutal fight

# Win-win special chapter. ''Master Ren, are you sure about me using five elemental spirits with various elements?'' Looking at the five fire elemental spirits in the distance, Ajax silently transmitted his words to Master Ren. Initially, Ajax didn''t want to summon his five elite general realm elemental spirits, which had four different elements. If Master Red found out that he could summon at least four types of elemental spirits and managed to escape from Master Ren, it would be a problem for him because Master Red had said that he had marked Ajax with his spirit mark. So, after he summon his elemental spirits, Master Red has to die for sure, and it is the only way for him to focus on other missions. ''Don''t worry. They will not go out of the five elemental world with their breath.'' As for Master Ren, he calmly replied to Ajax, and suddenly, he thought of something before saying, ''You can use two or three elemental spirits to defeat those five elemental spirits. It will be even more interesting to watch.'' Master Ren was not saying that Master Red would escape from his grasp, but if Ajax could defeat the five fire elemental spirits with his three elemental spirits, then it would be good for him to watch an interesting battle. So, he suggested Ajax fight with two or three elemental spirits. ''Two or three elemental spirits?'' Ajax thought for a second and concluded, ''I will go with three elemental spirits.'' "Your elemental spirits look very weak. Will they even withstand at least one of the attacks of my elemental spirit?" Aftering to the conclusion of using three elemental spirits, Ajax mocked Elen. Even though Elen''s elemental spirits were all level 10 elite general realm beings, Ajax only mocked Elen before he was using that reason to summon only three of his elemental spirits. "You..." Elen was enraged at Ajax''s words; however, Master Red said he couldn''t kill Ajax until the divine dragon was summoned. So, except for saying ''You'', Elen can''t do anything to Ajax and decided to vent his anger on Ajax''s elemental spirits. "Stop bbering and summon your elemental spirits first." Controlling his anger, Elen shouted at Ajax to summon his elemental spirits. "To defeat your elemental spirits, I only need three of my elemental spirits." After finishing those words, Ajax summoned three of his elite general realm elemental spirits. ''Swoosh'' Soon, two dark elemental spirits and one lightning elemental spirit appeared in front of Ajax. ''Damn you.'' Elen clenched his fist whenever he heard Ajax''s words because no one dared to say those words to him after joining the summoner''s group. Moreover, after joining the summoner''s group, he became a little proud and arrogant, which wasmon for anyone who felt they achieved something in their life. For Elen, joining the summoner''s group was the first achievement he was proud of, and Ajax repeatedly insulted Master Red and the summoner''s group. And now, Ajax even said that his elemental spirits are weak even though they have higher cultivation than Ajax''s elemental spirits. ''Kill his three elemental spirits first. Let''s see what he will do about it.'' Elen received a voice transmission from Master Red that calmed him down, and soon, he diverted his anger towards Ajax''s elemental spirits. "Since you are too arrogant, I will help you open your ''dog eyes'' and let you see what the power looks like." "Fues, kill them." Without wasting any time, Elen directly ordered his most powerful elemental spirit to start attacking. "Yes, summoning master." Fues nodded his head at Elen before activating his elementalw. ''Level 1 invincible fire.'' As soon as he activated his elementalw, a dark red-coloured me came out of the ground and entirely covered Fues. With a huge mace in his hand and a body full of dark red-coloured mes, Fues looked like a fire god. ''Po'' ''Po'' After transforming, Fues threw something at the two fire elemental spirits beside him and shouted, ''Invincible.'' Just as he shouted, the two fire elemental spirits that received the additional fire power from Fues also started transforming like Fues'' fire god mode. However,pared to Fues'' transformation, these two fire elemental spirits didn''t look as powerful as Fues. As for thest two elemental spirits, they used their own skills to enhance their battle prowess. ''Now, attack.'' As soon as the Fues finished his own transformation and the two other elemental spirits'' transformation, he ordered everyone to attack the three elemental spirits in the distance. Soon, all five fire elemental spirits rushed towards Cerauno and others without hiding any of their skills. ¡­... A few moments ago, ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' While Elen''s elemental spirits enhanced their battle prowess, Ajax was not watching them; instead, he was also making his basic preparations. First, he activated the bloodline to increase the battle prowess of his elemental spirit by three times. ''Now, Cerauno, it''s time to use your elementalw.'' Since his enemy was using the elementalw, Ajax ordered Cerauno to use his elementalw. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Like Fues, Cerauno also didn''t waste any time as he also powered himself with the elementalw. ''As for you two, merge.'' While Cerauno was powering himself, Ajax looked at Necros and Zen and used his second bloodline to merge them. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Necros and Zen started merging with one another, and it took less than 10 seconds for them to mergepletely. Since they belong to the same element, Ajax was able to merge them without any problem. ''Ding, Two dark elemental spirits are temporarily merged into a new elemental spirit. Will you name it? Soon, a new elemental spirit that looked more powerful than Necros and Zen appeared in front of Ajax. At the same time, Ajax received a system notification asking him to name the merged elemental spirit. ''Name?'' Ajax revealed a slight smile even in a tense situation like that. However, he didn''t think much as he named the merged elemental spirit ''Zecros''. ''Ding, Zecros can fight for five minutes before splitting back into the two elemental spirits. Soon, he got another system notification which Ajax knew already. So, he didn''t bother much about it before nning his next steps. .... ''So, he is not only an abnormal summoner but a dual elemental summoner with lightning and dark elements.'' In the distance, Master Red was surprised a little bit when he saw Ajax summoned two elemental spirits belonging to the dark element along with the lightning elemental spirit and thought in his head. ''However, it is a pity, I have to kill him for killing my sessor.'' Master Red shook his head with a face full of pity while looking at Ajax. Just as he said those words, Master Red saw that Ajax was merging his two elemental spirits and froze in his thoughts. ''What the hell? How can he have the same bloodline as Derrick?'' Of course, Master Red knew that Derrick had the ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline''. ''Don''t tell me he can replicate the bloodline of other cultivators.'' ... Author''s note:- 1) The enhancement of battle prowess of the elemental spirits of Elen and Ajax happened at the same time with a few seconds of time difference. 2) Author is trying to reach 20000 cheers in win-win this month. So, the author will try to release as many chapters as possible. All you have to do is to unlock the chapters when it is still in privilege. Chapter 841: Powerful Fues

Chapter 841: Powerful Fues

''Don''t tell me he can replicate the bloodline of other cultivators.'' When this thought came to Master Red''s head, he became anxious and at the same time excited because it is a heaven-defying ability that could make anyone go crazy. ''I need to confirm the bloodline.'' he focused his sight on the merged elemental spirit to see whether it was the same bloodline as Derrick''s or not? ''This is it. I am hundred percent sure that he is using the elemental spirit merger bloodline.'' Soon, Master Red concluded that it was the same bloodline as Derrick''s bloodline. Even though the two cultivators can have the same bloodline, Master Red was very sure that Ajax got the bloodline from Derrick. The reason behind it was the bloodline is specific to Derrick''s family. In the past, Derrick''s family used to be more powerful than the recently established summoner''s group; however, with the flow of time, Derrick''s family started to fall because of the rate at which their family members awakening the bloodline started to decrease. And after a couple of centuries, the younger generation stopped awakening their family''s bloodline ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline''. When his family fell to the bottom of the greater world, Derrick awakened the bloodline bringing hope to his family again. ''I need to know how he awakened the bloodline. I should use the soul search talisman on him.'' Soon, Master Red decided to use the rarest items in his possession to learn how Ajax got the elemental spirit bloodline. ''And if by chance, there is a way to learn other cultivators'' bloodline, then I, Master Red, will be invincible. Then, let''s see how those old monsters who sent me this far from home just for not agreeing with their words.'' Master Red was getting excited as he continued to think about the mysteries that Ajax was hiding. ''Interesting...he has two bloodlines.'' As for Master Ren, he revealed his usual smile and looked at Ajax with an interesting look. From the time he asked his elemental spirit to watch over Ajax to until now, Ajax was giving him continuous surprises. His first surprise was when he knew that Ajax was a universal summoner who can form contracts with any type of elemental spirit. Next, he was surprised to see the three re-cultivated spirit beasts under him. Moreover, those three became the tribe leaders of the three tribes at a young age. The list goes on until now, where he had two powerful bloodlines rted to the elemental spirits, which would make him a powerful summoner even in the greater worlds. ''After killing those demon bastards and the powerful summoner who wanted to kill me, I will open a new organisation on my own with his help.'' Soon, Master Ren thought to himself as he continued to watch the fight between the elemental spirits. ...¡­ ''Boom'' As for the fight, it started with Fues colliding with Cerauno, which made a massive explosion that pushed Ajax and Elen a few meters back. "Cerauno, don''t bother hiding your skills. Finish the fight as soon as possible." Covering his face, Ajax shouted at Cerauno to go all out and finish the fight. "Yes, summoning master." Cerauno nodded his head as he flew into the air while the lightning arks and shes revolved around his body, making him look like a lightning god. "Fues, don''t give him any chance to use his attacks." Elen also ordered his strongest elemental spirit to attack Cerauno. "Yes, summoning master." Simrly, Fues also nodded his head and flew towards Cerauno at an incredible speed. ''Boom'' Before Cerauno could use any of the attacks, Fues turned into a fiery ball and hit the Cerauno, causing another massive explosion. However, Cerauno was sted into the ground from the impact, whereas Fuesnded onto the ground before transforming back to the humanoid form. "I thought a lightning elemental spirit would be very powerful; however, it looks like I am wrong." With a smirk on his face, Fues mocked Volcanis? and slowly walked towards Volcanis, "I want to y with you for some more time, but my summoning master wants me to kill you as soon as possible." ''Thud'' "If you want to me someone, me your summoning master for being so arrogant." Fues ced the mace on his shoulder as he continued to walk towards Cerauno. At the same time, the merged elemental spirit, Zecros, was fighting four elemental spirits in which two elemental spirits'' battle prowess were boosted by Fues. Moreover, all four elemental spirits have level 10 elite general realm strength. Nevertheless, Zecros, who has the cultivation of level 3 elite general realm strength, was fighting on equal terms. Actually, Zecros was fighting two powerful elemental spirits, whereas his five undead warriors were fighting the other two elemental spirits. So, it ended up in a stalemate. ¡­. ''Damn it...they are more powerful than I thought.'' As for Ajax, he was bing anxious when he saw Cerauno was sted into the ground in a single attack. As for the Zecros, even though he is doing good, for now, he can''t fight like that for much longer because the five undead warriors can''t stop the two elemental spirits for much longer. When those two elemental spirits join the other two elemental spirits fighting Zecros, then Zecros will be instantly defeated. ''What should I do?'' Even though Ajax knew that Master Ren would help him, he didn''t want to rely on him when it came to Elenpletely. With each step Fues took towards Cerauno, Ajax became anxious because Ajax knew that a full-power attack from Fues could kill Cerauno. ''Cerauno, Merge.'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered one of Cerauno''s skills and used it without any hesitation. As soon as he ordered Cerauno to use the skill ''Merge'', Cerauno forced himself to stand up from the ground. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Cerauno''s body turned into lightning shes and rushed towards Ajax. Changes can be seen in Ajax within no time as he grew as tall and muscr as Cerauno. That''s right! It was the skill Cerauo gained when he entered the elemental spirit general realm back when the lightning hawk tribe was undergoing the lightning tribtions. ''What?'' Elen and Fues were surprised to see the merging between the lightning elemental spirit and Ajax; however, they were not worried much about it. Because the merging between elemental spirits and summoners was not a rare thing in the greater worlds, so, they were only surprised for a moment before shaking their heads. "Even with the skills, you are going to die." Elen scoffed at Ajax as he ordered his elemental spirit, "How long do you n on ying with those undead things? Just finish them off and give your assistance to Fues." ''Fues, be careful. We don''t know how powerful they became after merging. You should keep your guard and wait for others to assist you.'' Elen knew after an elemental spirit merges with the summoners, their power will be increased by multiple folds, and he didn''t want to take risks like Derrick lest he ends up dead like him. "Yes, summoning master." Fues and the four other elemental spirits nodded their heads to his orders. Chapter 842: Elens disgust

Chapter 842: Elen''s disgust

The reason why Cerauno was defeated in a single attack was because of Fues'' elementalw, ''Invincible fire''. It increases the fire power to a very high level whenever Fues attack his enemy. Moreover, Fues only needs a few seconds to use his attacks. However, Cerauno had low cultivation, and he had to increase the power of his attacks with his enhancement skill and enchantment skill which will take some time. Even though his battle prowess was boosted by his elementalw ''Thunderw'', he is notparable to a level 10 elite general realm elemental spirit that learned a powerful elementalw. Nevertheless, Ajax learned his lesson now, and without wasting any time, he used Cerauno''s skills one after another and readied himself. ''Skill enhancement'' ''Weapons formation'' ''Weapons enchantment.'' Soon, hundreds of weapons appeared in front of Ajax. However,pared to the weapons formation done by Cerauno, the weapon in front of Ajax looked more powerful. At the same time, instead of creating various weapons, there were only three types of weapons created by Ajax which were Sword, Spear, and Battle-axe. That''s right! Ajax only created three types of weapons because his weapon dao in those three weapons had reached level 3. ''As long as I use my weapon dao on the hundreds of weapons in front of him, they will be powerful enough to kill.'' Finally, after looking at the hundreds of powerful-looking weapons made up of lightning shes and embedded with the three types of weapon daos, Ajax looked confident, and his previous anxiousness disappeared without a trace. As for Fues, he took his summoning master''s order seriously and didn''t attack the merged Ajax randomly because once he died, not only would he die, but his summoning master would receive a huge bacsh. "Zecros, it''s time to finish the battle." Once Ajax fully powered the weapons in front of him, he ordered Zecros to fall back. ''Swoosh'' Zeros nodded his head and hurriedly backed away. "Everyone, be careful." Elen was not standing idle either. As soon as he saw the hundreds of powerful weapons in front of Ajax, Elen also ordered his elemental spirits to be careful. Just like Zecros, Elen''s five elemental spirits also backed off and stood in five different ces. That''s right! They knew that staying at one ce would do them more harm than good. By standing at five different ces, they can divide the weapons in front of Ajax five times. Moreover, if more than 20 weapons were rushing towards them, they might use some of their skills to deflect a couple of weapons and dodge the attack. "Merge." However, Ajax didn''t release all the weapons in front of him at once; instead, he merged them into three weapons. Soon, a giant sword, a long spear, and a domineering battle axe hovered in front of Ajax. ''What?'' Elen and his elemental spirits frowned when they saw Ajax''s actions and thought Ajax was a fool to merge all the weapons into three weapons. ''As long as my elemental spirits dodge those weapons, I can easily ask Fues to handicap him.'' Elen silently thought in his head, and he didn''t want to kill Ajax lest Master Red be angry at him. However, what they didn''t notice was the weapon dao on those three weapons were pretty much hidden, and even Master Red was veryte to notice it. ''What? He knows three types of weapon daos?'' In the distance, Master Red was surprised when he saw how Ajax merged with his elemental spirits and added a level 3 weapon dao to the hundreds of weapons in front of him. Moreover, he even merged those hundreds of weapons into three weapons that not only increased their physical shape, but the weapon dao on those three huge weapons was almost reach grade 4. Even in the greater worlds, learning multiple daos is rare, not to mention Ajax was able to increase the levels of three weapon daos to level 3 at such a young age. ''Should I put my ego aside and recruit it into the fire base as my sessor?'' Master Red even considered recruiting Ajax into his fire base; however, remembering how arrogant Ajax was, Master Red was very sure that Ajax would not join his fire base. So, letting Ajax join other organizations, Master Red thought of killing him to avoid future troubles. ''Idiot, be careful with those weapons. Do whatever it takes to destroy those weapons.'' As soon as he noticed three level 3 weapons daos on three huge weapons, Master Red hurriedly warned Elen to be careful. ''What?'' Elen was just a level 5 elite general realm cultivator and could not notice the weapon daos in the weapons. ''How can I destroy them, Master Red? I don''t think my elemental spirits have the strength to destroy a level 3 weapon dao, not to mention three weapon dao.'' Elen hurriedly asked a suggestion from Master Red because Ajax could release the three weapons any time now. ''Sacrifice your two unofficial elemental spirits along with one official elemental spirit. Don''t worry, I will help you gain more unofficial elemental spirits for you.'' Master Red didn''t think much as he directly gave a suggestion to Elen, which made Elen frown. Once a weapon is embedded with the weapon dao, it is very hard to escape from it unless the weapon is destroyed. Since Elen didn''t have enough confidence in his elemental spirits to withstand that power of the weapons, Master Red didn''t hesitate to give an order to sacrifice the unofficial elemental spirits. Even though there were many ways to get more unofficial elemental spirits, they required a huge amount of price. However, Master Red already promised Elen that he would help him get more unofficial elemental spirits; Elen hesitated to sacrifice one official elemental spirit along with two unofficial elemental spirits. Because he was with them for years now, he never looked at them as ves; instead, he considered them his friends. So, Elen was hesitating in order to sacrifice. For him, both official and unofficial elemental spirits are the same, and he didn''t want to sacrifice any of them. ''Sorry, Master Red. I can''t sacrifice any of my elemental spirits. I will try another way out.'' For the first time, Elen disobeyed Master Red''s words, which made Master Red very angry as he started cursing Elen. ''Ungrateful bastard.'' ''You will die if you don''t sacrifice your unofficial elemental spirit.'' ''Not only you, but I will make sure your family will die along with you.'' Master Red didn''t forget to transmit his voice to Elen. Since the ''nice way'' didn''t work, Master Red used the ''hard way''. ''You...'' Elen had great respect for Master Red; however, after saying that he would kill not only him but his family too, that respect which Elen had for Master Red disappeared, and it was now reced with disgust. "Master Red, I am greatly disappointed to have such a person as my master. All my elemental spirits are my family members. So, I can''t sacrifice them." Elen didn''t bother to transmit his voice anymore as he directly turned towards Master Red and spoke with a hint of disgust on his face. Chapter 843: Elens past

Chapter 843: Elen''s past

"Also, I am leaving the summoner''s group, and I am no longer a member of your fire base.'' The only reason why Elen joined the summoner''s group was to be stronger and bring back the former glory for his family. However, Master Red had now threatened him to destroy his family if he didn''t sacrifice his elemental spirits. So, he didn''t hesitate to leave the summoner''s group. After finishing his words, Elen took out a small red-coloured badge and crushed it. Next, Elen turned towards Ajax, who was about to use the three powerful-looking weapons in front of him. "My elemental spirits can''t withstand those weapons. So, I admit defeat." There was no hesitation in his words as he directly admitted that he was not a match for Ajax''s elemental spirits. "Huh?" As for Ajax, he was unable to believe what was happening in front of him. ''Are they again nning something?'' Ajax frowned as he thought they were up to something, and even after Elen admitted the defeat, Ajax was having a hard time believing it. So, he didn''t cancel that attack. ''Don''t worry. He is not acting.'' Just as Ajax was wondering what to do, he got the voice transmission from Master Ren, who assured him that Elen was not acting. ''Thanks, Master Ren.'' Since the powerful Master Ren said that, Ajax dispelled all his worries and canceled the weapons. ''Everyone, rx.'' With those words from Ajax, Cerauno deactivated the elementalw, and Zecros demerged back into Zen and Necros. Soon, Ajax''s elemental spirits stood beside Ajax with rxed looks on their faces. "Damn you." However, someone is not happy with Elen''s behaviour, and it was, of course, Master Red. While cursing Elen, Master Red flew towards him. "Since you are no longer a member of the summoners group, you are no longer of any use for me." ''Die'' Before he could reach Elen, Master Red summoned a huge fire ball in mid-air. "I already expected that you would kill me, but I will never kill my elemental spirits." Even when he was facing such a huge fire ball, Elen didn''t show any fear because he knew that he would be killed the moment he disobeyed Master Red''s orders without any hesitation. "What a fool! Are you willing to die for two unofficial elemental spirits and one official elemental spirit? You will never be a powerful summoner like me." After finishing his words, Master Red pushed the huge fire ball at Elen. As for Elen, he didn''t even bother to escape because he knew there is no way he could escape from Master Red. So, he closed his eyes and rewinded his entire life before the huge fire ball could hit him. ... A five-year-old kid was practicing with various weapons in an open field. . . . A ten-year-old kid was meditating in a rich essence-filled cave. . . . When the same kid reached the age of 15, he became a summoner, and everyone in his family became excited and even threw a grand feast to the entire province they were living in. Even though it was not rare for a 15-year old young man to be a summoner, Elen''s family had big expectations of Elen. When Elen was born, the heavens shone a light on Elen''s family, which was the sign that Elen was the family''s future. So, everyone cared for Elen, and whatever Elen wanted was given to him. Even though no one said anything whenever he made a mistake, Elen waspletely focused on cultivation. After hearing the past glory of his family and hearing the phenomenon that happened when he was born, Elen swore to bring his family back to its past glory. There was another grand feast when he became a member of the summoner''s group; however,pared to the feast when he became a summoner, this feast was much bigger because it was for the entire greater world. Soon, various memories from his past appeared in front of him. ''Sorry, father, uncles, and everyone. I am not the chosen one.'' With those memories, Elen''s eyes unconsciously released tears. ''Boom'' The expected explosion urred; however, for some reason, he didn''t feel any pain and thought, ''It looks like my death is painless.'' With that thought in his mind, Elen opened his eyes to see where cultivators will go after their death. ''Huh?'' However, he was still in the same surroundings from before, and in front of him, there was a ck-coloured elemental spirit. ''What? Why?'' Elen was shocked at the appearance of a dark elemental spirit in front of him and thought, why would he save him. That dark elemental spirit was none other than Necros, who activated his immunity skill to withstand the huge fire ball. Earlier, Necros only could withstand all physical attacks for five minutes; however, the huge fire ball was clearly an energy attack. As for how Necros was able to withstand an energy attack from a king realm cultivator, it was because of the upgrade in his immunity skill after canceling the ''Merge the undead summons'' skill. When Ajax was inside the quasi mid-grade spirit stone mine, he used that spirit stone mine to upgrade the dark elemental paradise to grade 4, and grade 4 elemental paradise has more chances for the beings inside in it to awaken some new skills or upgrade the existing skill. Necros was lucky enough to get an upgrade for the ''Mege the undead summons''. "Huh?" Master Red was shocked when he saw how a level 2 elite general realm elemental spirit stopped his attack just with the body. Moreover, that elemental spirit was still standing without any signs of damage. Even Master Ren was a little surprised at Necros standing in front of the huge fire ball. "Since you are the enemy of the summoner''s group, you can be considered as my friend." Ajax just wanted to anger Master Red even more, and it was the only reason why he would protect Elen from Master Red. "Thank you. But you can''t win against him. Moreover, he wants your divine dragon. As long as you don''t summon your divine dragon, he will not kill you." Elen looked at Ajax and thanked him before saying suggested Ajax not summon his divine dragon. "Do you think I don''t know that?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax walked towards Elen, stood in front of him, and said to Master Red, "He is under my protection. You have to go through me to kill him." ''You'' Master Red was angered to the point where he lost his control and looked at Ajax and Elen with bloodlust in his eyes. "Haha" While maintaining the anger, Master Red startedughing as he looked at Ajax and Elen before saying, "Do you think I will not kill you just because you don''t summon your divine dragon." "Fine...I lost interest in your dragon, and I will let you face the consequences of angering me." Soon, Master Rednded on the ground as he walked towards Ajax and Elen. "Since he is under your protection, I will just kill you first andter kill him at my own pace." Master smirked as he remembered all the things Ajax had said from the start. Chapter 844: Elemental Soul:- Fire Devourer

Chapter 844: Elemental Soul:- Fire Devourer

"Die." After finishing his words, Master Red summoned more than a dozen huge fire balls and sent them towards Ajax. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' The surroundings werepletely filled with explosions as the huge fire ballsnded on Necros. ''This should do it.'' Master Red was sure that the huge fire balls must have killed Necros, Ajax, and Elen. So, he didn''t bother to check whether they were alive or not in the smoke-filled area. "If you are only this powerful, then you are not going to damage even a strand of hair on my head." However, amidst the smoke-filled area, Master Red heard a familiar arrogant voice which made him shocked. ''How is it possible? His elemental spirit is clearly a level 2 elite general realm; however, my attacks are not having any effect on him.'' Soon, the smoke around Ajax and others cleared away as Master Red saw Necros standing in front of Ajax with his usual eerie look on his face. Seeing that, Master Red was shocked as he didn''t expect a level 2 elite general realm elemental spirit to stop his attack with his body. "I don''t think you can withstand this." Compared to the shock, Master Red became angrier to see that everyone was still alive even after using more than a dozen huge fire balls at them. So, Master Red summoned more than 100 huge fire balls in the air without any hesitation and threw them at Necros. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Just like before, the area waspletely filled with explosive sounds, and soon the area was entirely covered with smoke. However, unlike before, Master Red used his spirit sense to see through the smoke. ''What the hell?'' Nevertheless, he was shocked to see that not a single scratch formed on Necros, and behind him, Ajax and Elen were also perfectly alright except for the dust covered on their faces. "Don''t smile yet; I will see how you can escape now." Master Red was annoyed to the core when he saw the smiles on their faces, and he no longer wanted to waste his time with petty skills. He decided to go for his most powerful skill. ''Fire devourer soul.'' Without any hesitation, Master Red used his soul because only with the help of his elemental soul, one could release their powerful skill. The elemental soul is the advanced form of the elementalw. To be a king realm cultivator, a cultivator had to learn at least one elementalw, and he had to increase its level to level 10 before forming a soul using that elementalw. Only when the soul is formed, the cultivator can enter into the king realm. Of course, he had to go through the lightning tribtion to enter the king realm. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Master Red activated his elemental soul, a transparent orb came out of his spirit consciousness and entirely covered him. At the same time, Master Red had a light orange coloured halo around him, making him look like a fire god. ''System, can Necros withstand attacks from the current Master Red?'' As soon as he saw the powerful-looking Master Red who was hovering in mid-air, and asked the system with a face full of worry. He asked the system that if Necros couldn''t stop it, he would ask Master Ren to help him. ''Ding, Even an ''Emperor realm'' cultivator can''t hurt Necros when his immunity is active, not to mention a puny king realm cultivator''s attack. ''Ding, There are still two minutes before the immunity skill goes into a cool down. The system didn''t ask for any essence of nature and even said that a king realm cultivator is called puny in its view. ''If a king realm cultivator is a puny, then what am I?'' Ajax questioned himself after seeing the two system notifications in front of him. ''Ding, Currently, the host is a worm that has the potential to be a dragon. Even though he didn''t ask that question to the system, it gave him the answer, making him shake his head. ''Right now, I might be a worm, but I will surely be a dragon in the future.'' Ajax had confidence in him in bing a powerful cultivator like Master Ren. ''So, the cultivation realm after the King realm is the Emperor realm.'' Ajax was excited at the revtion of a new realm after the King realm as he continued to think, ''I wonder what realm Master Ren is. Is he in the Emperor realm?'' ''Also, are there levels from one to ten in the King and the Emperor realms?'' ''What is the realm after the Emperor realm?'' Within a couple of seconds, Ajax''s head waspletely filled with many thoughts about the cultivation. Nevertheless, he didn''t get a single reply from the system for any of his questions. ''Looks like I will not get any answers until I be stronger, right?'' With a scoff, Ajax silently asked the system in his head. ''Ding, Yes. It looks like the host finally understood that. However, Ajax got a reply from the system this time, making him bitterly shake his head. Nevertheless, Ajax stopped thinking about it, and with a confident look on his face, he waited for Master Red to release some attacks using his elemental soul. ''I will see how powerful an elemental soul is and how powerful a King realm cultivator will be.'' Ajax was excited to see the attacks as he waited. As for Elen, who was beside Ajax, he was confused when he saw how Ajax was changing his expression at a rapid pace. First, there was a worried expression on his face before it changed to a surprised one. Later, it was a bitter smile that was reced by an excited smile. There was another expression, and it was a ''confident look''. Nevertheless, Elen didn''t bother about Ajax as he looked at Master Red, who was covered inside his own elemental soul. ''You keep giving me more and more surprises.'' All of a sudden, Ajax heard Master Ren''s voice in his head which made him smile. ''Haha.'' Ajax didn''t say anything and onlyughed in reply to Master Ren''s words. As for Master Ren, he continued to transmit his voice to Ajax''s head, ''Do you need any help? Or your elemental spirit can withstand a beginner king realm cultivator''s full-powered attack?'' For some reason, Master Ren felt that Necros could withstand Master Red''s next attack. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, Master Ren asked Ajax because there is still time before Master Red could release any of his attacks. ''Necros still have two more minutes. So, I will have to trouble Master Ren after two minutes.'' Ajax replied to Master Ren after thinking for a moment. He thought it would be a good idea for Master Ren to know how long Necros can withstand the attacks from Master Red so that Master Ren could jump into action to save him. ''Oh.'' Master Ren was surprised once again before nodding his head with a slight smile on his face. ''He is the right person for my new organization. I should make him agree to my offer at any cost.'' Chapter 845: Summoners Sun

Chapter 845: Summoner''s Sun

''He is the right person for my new organization. I should make him agree to my offer at any cost.'' Soon, the slight smile on Master Ren''s face disappeared as it was reced with a serious look. At the same time, he clenched his fists as he muttered, ''It is the only way to speed up my revenge against that bastard who wanted to kill me.'' "Devour." As for Master Red, he used the skill that came with his elemental soul. As soon as he shouted the attack name, a huge dark ck-coloured me appeared in front of Master Red before it rushed towards Necros. ''Swoosh'' ''Gulp'' ''Boom'' The huge me that was rushing towards Necros swallowed him in one gulp before sting. Once again, the entire area was filled with smoke; however, Master Red was not happy because nothing happened to Necros. Amidst the smoke, Necros was still standing, and just like always, there was not a single scratch on him, which made Master Red cough a mouthful of blood. "I thought you were powerful; however, you only have the cultivation but not powerful enough to give me a level 2 elite general elemental spirit." Necros scoffed at Master Red as he said those words to him. "Damn you." Master Red was already enraged to the point where he could not think properly, and Necros'' words made himpletely lose control. "Everyonee out and kill him." Since Master Red is a fire elemental summoner, he summoned more than 10 elemental spirits, and every one of them had reached the king realm. ''Yes, summoning master.'' ''Swoosh'' When they saw Necros, the elemental spirits'' first reaction was surprised because they didn''t understand why their summoning master would summon all his elemental spirits to kill just a level 2 elite general realm elemental spirit. Nevertheless, they have to follow Master Red''s orders to get the required resources to increase their cultivation. So, nodding their heads at Master Red, everyone rushed towards Necrso and surrounded him. "Fire strike" "Fire meteor" "Inferno" . . . . Soon, they used all the regr skills before using their own elemental souls and the skills rted to the elemental soul. However, Necorszily sat on the ground and allowed the eleven elemental spirits to attack him. Master Red didn''t know why he summoned all his elemental spirits, but there was only one thing in his mind, and it was to kill Necros. Because it was the first time that Master Red''s attacks continuously failed. Moreover, even when he lost control, Master Red considered that as long as Necros was attacked without giving a break, Necors could be killed. ''Master, I can''t hold them for much longer.'' As Master Red, the immunity skill is only for five minutes, and it is about toe to an end. If Necros were to receive a single attack from the king realm elemental spirit, even his elemental spirit stone would be disintegrated into nothingness. So, he warned Ajax about it. ''I know.'' How can Ajax not keep an eye on the time for the immunity skill? Before Necros could inform him, Ajax already saw the count down, which he asked the system to set for him to track the time for the immunity skill. Currently, there were only 20 seconds left on the timer, and Ajax didn''t hesitate to transmit his voice to Master Ren as he said, ''Master Ren, my elemental spirit can''t hold for much longer. Can you help me now?'' ''Of course.'' ''Swoosh'' Master Ren nodded his head and disappeared from his ce, and appeared in front of Necros. As for Master Red and all his elemental spirits, they were shocked to see the sudden appearance of a ck-robed man. The elemental spirits paused for a moment; however, their master asked them not to stop. So, they continued to attack both the ck-robed man and the dark elemental spirit. ''Phew...finally, I can see Master Ren fight.'' As for Ajax, he was excited to see the fight between two powerhouses above the king realm. ''Huh?'' As for Elen, he was already shocked when he saw Necros withstanding the attacks from Master Red''s elemental soul and elemental spirits. Nevertheless, he felt Ajax was more mysterious than he thought, and he felt it was good that he admitted defeat; otherwise, his elemental spirits would have died. "Since you are proficient in fire-type attacks, let''s see how you will endure my fire attack." Master Ren shook his head at the elemental spirits that were attacking him non-stop and muttered, ''Summoner sun.'' As soon as he said those words, a small red-coloured orb appeared on his head. ''It looks like a mini sun.'' Ajax felt an intense heatwave when he saw the small fire orb above Master Ren''s head. ''Kacha'' However, what happened next shocked Ajax, Elen, Necros, and even Master Red because Master Red''s all elemental spirits were burnt to a crisp from the heat of that mini sun. "What? How is this possible?" "Who are you?" "How did you enter the five elemental world?" Among those who saw the deaths of the 11 elemental spirits, Master Red was the only one who was shocked to the corepared to the others because he didn''t expect his earlier worries toe true. As he expected, the ck robed man was someone more powerful than him. At the same time, his head was filled with many questions that made him cough another mouthful of blood. ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, many scars started appearing on Master Red''s body, and he copsed to the ground while groaning. Ajax and Elen were slightly surprised to see Master Red''s groaning on the ground. Even though they know why Master Red was groaning, they didn''t expect Master Red''s body to be filled with scars. As for the reason why the scars appeared on Master Red''s body, it was the bacsh from the death of his elemental spirits. Generally, the bacsh won''t be that severe when a cultivator enters the king realm; however, for some reason, Master Red received a bacsh that is much bigger than usual. So, Ajax and Elen were surprised to see that. But, nevertheless, they didn''t say anything and looked at Master Ren with slight fear. "Aren''t you ashamed to show your power over the cultivators below the King realm?" As for Master Ren, he didn''t bother to look at Ajax and Elen as he walked towards Master Red and asked with a scoff. "Why do you care?" ''Aargh'' Even though Master Red was groaning painfully, he was still looking at Master Ren with hateful eyes, and if he had a chance, Master Red would kill Master Ren even at the cost of his life. ''Why am I feeling powerful when he walks towards him.'' Amidst his painful groans, Master Red noticed something that even though the scars on his body were so painful, he felt fire energy filling his body. ''Is it because of that small sun?'' Master Red looked at the small red-coloured orb hovering about Master Ren''s head and silently thought to himself. ''Come near to me...just like that.'' All of a sudden, Master Red felt a slight hope in killing Master Ren. As for Master Ren, he continued to walk towards Master Red with an expressionless look on his face. **** Onye_Okezie, thanks for the POTION. Sam_Chilton, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 846: Universal Organization

Chapter 846: Universal Organization

Master Red continued to groan in pain; however, he felt that he could kill the ck-robed man walking towards him. So, he endured the pain and silently devoured the fire energy emitted by the summoner''s sun above Master Ren''s head. "If you want fire, I will give you one." How could Master Ren didn''t know what was happening with Master Red? Master Ren had already seen what kind of elemental soul that Master Red had formed from his elementalw. So, he knew that Master Red could devourer other fires to increase his power, heal his injuries, and many more things. However, Master Ren was not worried when Master Red was absorbing the heat energy from his summoner''s sun; instead, he increased the intensity of the heatwave from the summoner''s sun. ''Ah'' ''Haha'' Master Red moaned in pleasure before startingughing while looking at the iing Master Ren. All the scars on Master Red''s body had already disappeared without a trace, and he was no longer in any pain; however, he was feeling powerful and energized. ''Kacha'' ''Huh?'' ''Haha'' All of a sudden, a crisp sound came from Master Red which made him frown for a moment before he startedughing even more loudly. "Finally, after 100 years, I was able to break into the intermediate level in the king realm¡­.Haha." More than 100 years ago, Master Red had entered into the king realm. So, when he broke through from the beginning level to the intermediate level in the king realm, he could not control his excitement and freelyughed because it was a joyous day for him. "What?" Ajax and Elen were shocked to see Master Red''s sudden breakthrough. ''Don''t worry; it is always better to show some hope before death.'' Soon, Ajax heard Master Ren''s voice in his head which gave Ajax goosebumps all over his body. Compared to earlier, Master Ren''s voice seemed more evil. Moreover, Ajax felt that he needed to be careful with Master Ren; otherwise, he can''t even escape with the help of the system. "Huh?" While Ajax was in his thoughts, Master Red''s loudughter suddenly came to an end, and at the same time, Ajax noticed a frown on Master Red''s face. ''Why can''t I stop devouring the fire energy from that mini sun?'' As for Master Red, he was bing anxious when he noticed that his body was not in his control and the soul inside his body was continuously absorbing the fire energy. "You must be thinking why you are unable to control your own body, right?" Soon, Master Ren spoke as he stopped five meters away from Master Red. "Who are you?" Finally, Master Red knew that his chances of living were zero. So, at least, he wanted to know who was going to kill him. "As long as you survive this attack, I will say." ''Snap'' With a slight smile on his face, Master Ren replied to Master Red as he snapped his finger. ''Boom'' Soon, a huge explosion appeared from Master Red''s body, and the intensity from the st made Ajax and Elen pushed more than 100 meters away. However, Master Ren was standing there with a surprised look on his face. ''He is strong. No wonder he could see through many of my elemental spirits even when I didn''t summon it.'' Currently, Master Ren looked like a death god in the eyes of Ajax and Elen. And, Ajax swore to be careful with Master Ren in the future. ''Ding, The more powerful the host kills, the higher the rewards will be. So, kill Master Red, who is on the verge of his death. While Ajax was looking at Master Ren through the smoke, he received a system notification that made him surprised. ''What? He is still alive?'' After seeing the explosion upfront, Ajax didn''t expect Master Red to be still alive. So, when he saw the system notification, he was shocked a lot as he hurriedly looked at the ce where Master Red was standing. ''Cough'' Even though it waspletely covered in smoke, Ajax was able to sense Master Red''s presence, and at the same time, he heard Master Red''s cough. "Well¡­ I didn''t expect you to survive this." Just like Ajax, Master Ren was also surprised to see Master Red alive. Soon, the smoke covering the entire area was cleared as Ajax and Elen saw once a mighty Master Red was now in a pitiful state. "I...survived...y..your at..atack. Now¡­.tell...cough...me...who...are...you?" Master Red forced himself and asked Master Ren while coughing mouthfuls of blood. "I am a man of word, and since you survived my attack, I will say who I am." Master Ren walked towards Master Red as he continued saying, "I used to be the leader of the ''Universal organization." As soon as he finished his words, a sword appeared in his hand. The sword has only three symbols which are sun, moon, and star. "What? How is it possible? Aren''t you and the rest of your members killed by the demons?" When Master Ren said his identity, he didn''t believe it entirely; however, after seeing the sword in Master Ren''s hands, Master Red was sure that he was the leader of the ''Universal organization''. "Now, you can die." After seeing the reaction on Master Red''s face, Master Ren revealed a satisfied look on his face as he tried to pierce the huge sword into Master Red''s body. "Master Ren, can you please let me kill him?" Just when the sword was able to pierce through Master Red''s body, Ajax shouted as loudly as possible to stop Master Ren from killing Master Red. Because if Master Ren killed Master Red, then he would miss a lot of good items. "What?" Master Ren raised his brows for a moment before retracting his sword and looked at Ajax, who was rushing towards him. "Can you please let me kill him?" After seeing how powerful and cruel Master Ren was, Ajax didn''t dare to be prudent in front of him. So, he respectfully addressed Master Ren and asked him to let him kill Master Red. "Kid, even though his elemental soul was destroyed, he is still a king realm cultivator. So you can''t kill him with regr weapons." Master Ren shook his head as he exined Ajax. Earlier, his elemental soul was absorbing the energy from the summoner''s sun; however, when it had absorbed more than what it could hold inside it, it was sted and severely injured Master Red. Master Red is still a cultivator of the king realm even with those injuries, and his body was tempered with fire energy multiple times. Moreover, Master Red had sessfully crossed the lightning tribtions when he was entering the King realm. So, the lightning tribtion will help a cultivator temper his body with lightning energy. So, their bodies will be tougher and stronger. "Then, what can kill a king realm cultivator?" Ajax was surprised to hear Master Ren''s words and asked him how to kill a King realm cultivator. "Take this weapon." Seeing Ajax''s expression, Master Ren shook his head as he gave the huge sword in hand to Ajax to kill Master Red. ''This weapon...'' **** We are about to reach level 2 in win-win event. All privilege readers will now get an 8 % rebate when they spend coins on my book. Chapter 847: Universe Sword

Chapter 847: Universe Sword

''This weapon...'' Ajax was shocked when he received the huge long sword from Master Ren. Because as soon as he touched the long sword, the system gave theplete information about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Universe sword. Grade:- Mythical (low-level) Weapon skills:- Sun annihtion, Moon shield, and Starlight heal. ''A mythical grade sword?'' Ajax was surprised to see the grade of simple looking sword in his hand and took a nce at Master Ren for a moment before looking back at the sword. Even though it was not his first time seeing a mythical grade item, it was, of course, his first time seeing a mythical grade item. As for the first mythical grade item, it was a coin called ''Void breaker'', which he had seen in the lightning hawk tribe, and if he was right, the coin would be with Snow since she is the current tribe leader. ''I should not be surprised to see a mythical grade sword with Master Ren.'' Soon, Ajax controlled his surprise because with Master Ren''s cultivation, if he didn''t have a mythical grade sword, it would be a joke. So, controlling his surprise, Ajax looked at the weapon''s skills to get a clear idea of how powerful a mythical grade sword would be. ''Also, why are there no effects to the weapon and only have three skills?'' There was another thing that Ajax didn''t understand because until now, almost all the high-level weapons have effects for sure, and skills areplimentary. However, for the mythical level sword in his hands, there were only three skills and no effects at all. It gave him another reason to check the information on the skills. ''Ding, Sun annihtion:- A huge sword wave is released from the sword that contains the full power of the user''s highest attack that can annihte anything in its way. Note:- This skill is more powerful when there are suns or rich fire essence of nature around the user. Moon shield:-? When the sword is pierced into the ground, a huge barrier formed from the moonlight. Note:- The barrier will be more powerful if there is a real moon. Starlight healing:- When the starlight essence is injected into the sword, it will heal everyone around the user within 100 meters of radius. Note:- 1) It will heal even near-death cultivators if there were stars in the sky. 2) This skill can''t differentiate between friend and foe and heals everyone around the user within 100 meters. Soon, the information about the three skills appeared before Ajax, which made him finally understand why there were no effects. ''The three skills focused on Attack, defense, and healing. So, what''s more, he needs a mythical grade sword. Moreover, Master Ren must have learned some powerful sword techniques. So, he doesn''t need any more effects from the sword.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he moved towards Master Ren, who barely had any breath left in him. ''Looks like he recognized the grade of my sword.'' After receiving various shocks from Ajax, Master Ren didn''t get surprised when he saw Ajax could appraise a mythical grade sword. However, what he didn''t know was that Ajax not only knew the three skills of his Universe sword, but he even knew theplete information of those three skills. Maybe Master Ren would have been shocked to the core if he found what Ajax knew about his sword, but he was toozy to look into Ajax''s talents because he knew Ajax would not escape from his grasp anytime soon. ''As long as I get him to agree to my offer, we can both be invincible.'' Master Ren has high hopes for Ajax and hoped that Ajax would not make things difficult for me. Nevertheless, he is not powerful enough to bring me back home. It will take years before he enters the king realm.'' Master Ren heaved a long sigh because he could not wait to go back to his home to take revenge. ''Also, I need to recover my strength.'' At the same time, he knew he had only recovered 10 percent of his strength. So, even if Ajax entered the king realm, he had to make sure to get back to his full strength. ''Puchi'' As for Ajax, he didn''t hesitate to pierce his sword through Master Red''s chest with the ''Universe sword'' in his hand. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing an intermediate-level king. The host will be rewarded with 500 spirit points. ''Ding, Since it was the host''s first time killing a king realm cultivator, he will be rewarded with another 500 spirit points. ''Ding, A new title is unlocked. Please check the ''Title'' section to know more about it. ''Ding, Also, the host will get more good items from refining the King realm cultivator''s corpse using the ''Arcane Green Turtle''. Just as he took out the ''Universe sword'' from Master Red''s body, Ajax''s head was continuously filled with system notifications that made him excited. Because he knew he would get good rewards for killing King realm cultivators. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother to check the rewards; instead, he turned back towards Master Ren and returned the sword to him. "Thanks for your sword, Masters. It was a good one." Even though he knew Master Ren is powerful and dangerous, Ajax didn''t want to show it on his face and tried to strike a conversation with Master Ren. "Is it?" With a slight smile on his face, Master Ren asked Ajax while he looked at the long sword in his hand. "Of course, it is a good one. I have never seen such a good sword which makes one''s mind calm even after I kill my master king realm cultivator." Ajax nodded his head as he exined what he felt when he was holding the sword. "Moreover, it was very light considering its size." Ajax gave another remark about the sword. "Yes. It is light and makes the user''s mind calm even when millions of enemies surround you." All of a sudden, Master Ren''s voice became a little reminiscent as he continued to speak, "This is a special sword forged by my master and given to me by him as a parting gift when I be a king realm cultivator." ''Master?'' Ajax raised his brows because he thought Master Red was already this powerful and how powerful his master trained him. "Parting gift?" Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t dare to ask about Master Ren''s master; instead, he asked about the gift. ''If a disciple became a king realm cultivator, why would he gift a parting gift? Unless a disciple has to leave his master after bing a king realm cultivation.'' Before Master Ren could give a reply, Ajax understood something. "What you think is right. However, he said that he woulde looking for me in a hundred years and it''s been more than 90 years¡­.Huh?" Suddenly, Master Ren frowned because he didn''t understand why he was saying all these things to Ajax and changed the topic, "You wanted to ask me about the corpse, right? Just take it. I will be leaving now." As soon as he finished his words, Master Ren disappeared from his ce. Chapter 848: Corpse refiners

Chapter 848: Corpse refiners

''Swoosh'' "Master Ren, wait..." Even though Ajax tried to stop Master Ren to ask whether he could take the crystals from the king realm elemental spirits or not, he disappeared without a trace. ''It looks like I can take them.'' Earlier, when Master Ren burned Master Red''s elemental spirits into ashes, they left some crystals; however, Ajax and Elen didn''t dare to take the crystals because they didn''t kill them. Moreover, they were worried that their actions might anger Master Ren. So, just when Master Ren finished his words and about to leave, Ajax tried to ask about those crystals. But, nevertheless, Master Ren disappeared without even bothering to listen to his words. "Also, he gave permission to take Master Red''s body. I hope I can get something good by refining his corpse." While walking to the ce filled with crystal left behind by the fire elemental spirits, Ajax took a look at the corpse lying some distance away from him and silently thought to himself. Before Master Ren left, he gave permission for Ajax to take the corpse of Master Red. Even though there will be no crystals or treasures inside the corpse of a King realm, the body itself is a treasure. It is not useful for everyone; however, to the cultivators who know who to refine the blood of others, it will be very useful. Also, there is another profession, just like beast tamers and alchemists. It is to refine the entire corpse and make the corpses their ves. Hence, they are called Corpse refiners. Even though Ajax knew neither to refine the corpses or the blood, he could use the Arcane green spirit turtle to refine anything into something useful. As for Master Ren, he didn''t have the faintest idea of what Ajax would do with the corpse. But, nevertheless, he was not worried that Ajax could harm him in any way. Moreover, he has something on his mind. So, he was not thinking properly. Somewhere in the Shixato wilds, ''Swoosh'' In a cave lit with some spirit stones, Master Ren appeared with a serious look on his face. ''Why did I talk about my Master to him? How can I lose control?'' Master Ren was clearly not happy about what he had spoken with Ajax earlier because he had never spoken about his master to anyone, including his group members. ''There is something about him that makes me rx my guard. I need to be careful.'' Master Ren, a powerful cultivator who could kill a king realm cultivator without any difficulty, was thinking to be careful when he was around Ajax, who was only a level 2 general realm cultivator. ''I need to know more about him.'' Finally, after thinking for a moment, Master Ren wanted to observe Ajax more and wanted to find out the reason why he let down his guard earlier. ''Swoosh'' ''Sumo, as usual, keep an eye on him and if hends in any trouble from the other two regions, protect him. Remember, observe what kind of trump cards he is hiding on him and protect him when he is only an inch away from death.'' With a thought, Master Ren summoned his dual elemental spirit and gave some orders before sitting down in a cross-legged position to cultivate and recover his strength. "Yes, summoning master." The sun moon dual elemental spirit knew what his master wanted and nodded his head before disappearing from the cave. After receiving back-to-back surprises from Ajax, Master Ren was sure Ajax had many more secrets about him. However, he was not the type to force someone to know their trump cards, and at the same time, he wanted topletely know about Ajax because he had high hopes for him. ''The more trump cards he has, the better it will be.'' After his elemental spirit left the cave, Master Ren revealed a slight smile on his face while his eyes remained closed. ..... Back in the open ground, Ajax was collecting the stones left by the King realm elemental spirits. ''11 King realm elemental spirit stones and three level 10 elementalw stones.'' Ajax slowly stored them in his inventory after checking the information on them. Among the 11 elemental spirits, only three left behind their elemental spirit stones. ''System, once a cultivator enters into the King realm, they will only have an elemental soul, right? So then why are these elemental spirits left behind their elementalw stones?'' After storing them inside his inventory, Ajax asked the system about his doubt. ''Ding, When a King realm elemental spirit was killed, the elemental soul from their body would turn back into an elementalw. As for getting the elementalw stone of thatw depends on luck just like the elite general realm elemental spirit who learned an elementalw. ''Oh. So, it is like that.'' Finally, Ajax understood the reason why the King realm elemental spirits still left behind the elementalw stones despite the fact they have already condensed an elemental soul from their elementalw. ''I will check these elementalw stones after I go back to the white castle.'' Even though there was so much he had to do, Ajax''s first instinct was to go back to the white castle. So, he walked towards Master Red''s corpse and stored it in his inventory before walking towards Elen. "So, are you going back to the summoner''s base?" Ajax asked Elen with a slight smile on his face. Ajax already knew that he couldn''t go back to the fire base because the cultivators from the fire base must have already seen that Elen had betrayed Master Red which was betraying the fire base itself. "I can''t go back to the fire base, and if I am not wrong, the summoner''s group must have already got informed about the death of Master Red." Elen had a worried look on his face as he exined, "Even though Master Red was banished very far away from the summoner''s group, they will send someone to kill me, you and Master Ren." Elen felt grateful to Ajax and Master Ren for saving him from Master Red; however,pared to Ajax, he knew more about the summoner''s group and how far they could go. "Don''t worry. Master Ren is very powerful, and he also knew about Master Red''s background. Since he killed Master Red despite knowing his identity, Master Ren must be confident in going against the summoner''s group." Ajax stayed silent for a moment before replying to Elen. "It might be true, but Master Ren is only a single cultivator. So how can he go against the summoner''s group?" Elen already saw Master Ren''s prowess, but how can a single powerful cultivator bepared to a powerful organization called Summoner''s group. "Since you have already left the summoner''s group, you have to face what has toe. As for me, I am always ready to face it, Friend." Ajax said to Elen with a face full of confidence. Even though Elen tried to kill Ajax previously, Ajax liked Elen''s character a little because of how Elen treated his elemental spirits as his family. It was like he wanted to go against a powerful existence but would not sacrifice his elemental spirits. So, Ajax felt Elen could be his good friend. Chapter 849: Master Black

Chapter 849: Master ck

"I am not worried about me but my family." Elen bitterly shook his head, and before Ajax could give any reply, he continued saying, "Anyway, I don''t have the power to go back to my world to warn them." The only reason how Elen was able toe into the five elemental world was because of the teleportation link created by the fire base of the summoner''s group. Even Master Red had to spend a fortune to create teleportation portals in the five elemental world. So, Elen had no way of going back to his world. ''I hope they will prepare themselves when they don''t get my voice transmission tonight.'' The thing is, every day, Elen will contact their family, and Elen hoped that his family would prepare to go into hiding or prepare themselves for the fight with the summoner''s group. "..." Ajax remained silent as he didn''t know what to say to Elen. "If you want, you can stay with me for a while." After staying silent for some time, Ajax said those words. "It looks like I don''t have any other choice." Elen didn''t want to die yet, and if the summoner''s group harmed his family, he had to stay alive to take revenge on them. So, Elen thought he had to stay with Ajax to receive Master Ren''s protection. S, he readily agreed to Ajax''s offer. "Let''s go." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax flew towards the lightning hawk tribe. Behind him, Elen ran on the ground as he didn''t have any flying skills, and without any skills, if he wanted to fly, Elen had to reach the King realm. ..... Somewhere far away from the five elemental world, a huge world is 100 times bigger than the five elemental world and the purple stone world. In that world, there were many ancient buildings which were massive. However, even among those ancient buildings, there were some buildings that looked unique and different from other ancient buildings. "Master ck, someone killed Master Red." A young man wearing ck robes walked into one of the tallest ancient buildings and informed someone who was inside the ck smoke. "What did you say?" A ck coloured shadow appeared in front of that ck-robed young man and asked him to repeat his words. "Ma...Master Red is killed by someone." With the pressure from the shadow in front of him, the young man''s back was entirely covered in a cold sweat. Nevertheless, he replied to the shadow in front of him. The shadow in front of him didn''t have any facial features; however, the young man was sure that it was his master who could transform into a shadow while cultivating inside the dark essence. "How can someone kill him? I sent him to those banished territories until Ipletely took control over the summoner''s group." Even though it was impossible to see the angry expression on the shadow''s face, from the voice alone, it could be seen how angry the so-called Master ck. "Master, ording to intel I received from the fire base''s surveince, Master Red and Elen were killed by a mysterious man whose face was covered by some kind of mask. Before that, a young man killed Derrick, and when Master Red and Elen went to take revenge, they were killed by the mysterious man." The young man exined everything he received from the fire base. However, he modified something from the information he received from the fire base of the summoner''s group, and it was about the death of Elen. As for why he lied about Elen, except for him, no one knows. ording to the original information,? Master Red tried to kill Elen for some reason, but he was protected by the young man and the mysterious man who covered his face. As for Master Ren, he was not covering his face with anything; however, the cultivators watching the fight from the fire base were unable to see his face. "This is impossible. Why would an emperor realm cultivator enter the barren territories?" As for Master ck, he could guess the strength of Master Ren without any problem. Even though Master Red only had the cultivation of beginner level king realm, he had a powerful soul that could help him kill intermediate level king realm cultivators, and he can escape from the advanced level king realm cultivators. So, Master ck guessed that it was at least an Emperor realm cultivator because only they could kill his brother, Master Red. "Whose territory is close to the fire base?" Master ck asked the young man while maintaining the shadow form. Master ck tried his best to control his anger; however, the young man could sense that Master ck was going crazy to kill the killer of Master Red. Even though he had be the leader of the summoner''s group, he had yet to take full control of it, and there were some cultivators in the summoner''s group that didn''t want him to be the leader of the summoner''s group. Also, Master ck had other brothers, but only Master Red was the weakest one among them. So, he had to send Master Red to the banished territories to keep him safe because those who wanted him dead would not bother to leave their base to go after his brother to that far. However, Master Red was now killed by some mysterious man making Master ck me himself for sending his brother to those barren territories. "Master Green and Master Brown''s bases are at an equal distance from the fire base, Master ck." The young man replied to the shadow in front of him without wasting any time. "Good. Inform them about brother Red and asked both of them to avenge him at any cost. I want them to kill the mysterious man as soon as possible and should go back to their bases." The shadow ordered the young man in front of it. "But Master ck, the teleportation portals to the fire base from every other base were mysteriously destroyed before you sent Master Red to the fire base. So it will take at least one month to create the portal to the fire base." Even though the young man knew the reason why the portals to the fire base in all the other bases were destroyed, he didn''t mention it and acted like he didn''t know and informed the shadow that it would take at least one before Master Green and Master Brown to reach the fire base. ''What?'' The shadow was shocked and bitterly shook his head because he was the one who destroyed the teleportation portals to the fire base. So that no one would go after his weakest brother. "Do what you have to do and try your best to finish the teleportation portals to the fire base." After saying those words, the shadow disappeared into the ck smoke. "Yes, Master ck." The young man nodded his head and slowly walked out of the ancient building. ''Elen, this is all I can do for you in protecting your family. With this, I owe you nothing.'' Looking at the same badge in his hand, the young man in ck robes thought to himself, and soon, he went to work on the orders given by Master ck. Chapter 850: King Grade Elemental Spirit Stones

Chapter 850: King Grade Elemental Spirit Stones

In one of the rooms of the white castle. ''Finally, I can check the rewards from earlier.'' Ajax sat on the bed as he muttered to himself. Earlier, after he killed Master Red, he got some system notifications informing him about the rewards. Moreover, he still has to check the three elementalw stones he stored in his inventory. Also, there is still Master Red''s corpse which he could refine with the help of Arcane green spirit turtle''s ''Ultimate arcane refining'' skill. ''Enter.'' So, he started with Master Red''s corpse refining because the refining will take some time. Until the refining is finished, Ajax could check the other things. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form appeared in his inner world. ''This will be thest refinement for this month, I guess.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax threw Master Red''s corpse into the furnace-like shell of the Arcane green spirit turtle and thought in his head. ording to the skill description, his spirit turtle could only refine three times a month, and he had already used that skill two times. One was to refine the ability fruit, and the second was to refine Derrick''s corpse. So, he could only use one more time this month, and Ajax felt that Master Red''s corpse would give something good, and this third refinement will be worth it. ''Ding, The refinement of the Intermediate-level King realm cultivator will take 24 hours before it is refined. Please wait patiently. Soon, the system notification appeared in front of him, informing him about the time required to refine Master Red''s corpse. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised to see the required time for Master Red''s corpse; however, it onlysted for a moment before nodding his head because he knew that the more powerful the corpse is, the more time it takes and the higher will be the reward. "Anyway, you take your own time. I willplete the mission I havee here to the five elemental world." Even though Ajax was curious about the final product from the refinement of Master Red''s corpse, it could only wait and busy himself with something else. So, he could not be anxious about the reward. The best thing to do right now is conquer the Western foxnds before the refinement of Master Red''s corpse is done. ''Nevertheless, I have to sort out all the rewards first.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was very confident inpleting the mission of conquering the ''Western foxnds'' within 20 hours. So, he could sort his things first. With all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts and with the help of Elen''s knowledge about how to tamper the surveince of the fire base, Ajax thought it would be a piece of cake. Actually, there are two other ongoing missions for his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. Andpared to the contracted spirit beasts'' mission, Ajax was very much interested in the mission given to the elemental spirits because it is basically a mission to farm as many spirit points as possible. So, Ajax was excited about conquering the Western foxnds. ''Let''s see the elemental spirit stone and elementalw stones.'' Soon, he suppressed his excitement as he took out the shining red-coloured crystals from the inventory. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental spirit stone (King realm) Effect:- Increases the cultivation of an elite general realm elemental spirit by at least a single realm. Advanced effect:- There is a small chance to learn an elementalw. Note:- 1) If the elemental spirit is lucky, he/she can increase their cultivation by more than one realm and up to five minor realms. 2) One elemental spirit can only use one King grade elemental spirit to increase his/ her cultivation level. ''Huh? Only a single minor realm.'' Ajax frowned as he felt it waspletely out of his expectations. For the elemental spirit stones below the King realm, as long as the elemental spirit crushed the spirit stone, their cultivation would be increased by one major realm. However, for the King realm elemental spirit stone, it was way too little increment in the strengthpared to the elemental stone below the King grade. As for the small chance of learning the elementalw, Ajax felt that the worth of the King grade elemental spirit stone should be more. ''Ding, The system suggested the host notpare the King grade elemental spirit stone with other stones. Soon, the system notification asked him not topare the stones; however, Ajax got another doubt and asked the system about it. ''So, what will an elite general realm elemental spirit stone do?'' Since a King grade, elemental spirit stone could only increase one or more minor realms in the elite general realm. ''Ding, There is a slight difference between the King grade elemental spirit stone and the other elemental spirit stones. The system was not asking for the essence of nature much after Ajax upgrading it to System 3.0. So, as soon as he asked the question, it gave a reply to him, which made Ajax frown a little. ''And what it is.'' Ajax asked the system with a curious look on his face. ''Ding, The upgrade using elemental spirit stones below King grade has a 50 percent chance of failure; however, even though the King grade elemental spirit stone might increase only a single minor, the upgrade will never fail. ''Oh.'' Ajax was surprised for a moment and understood why the King grade elemental spirit stone has only a single realm increment. ''By the way, system, none of my elemental spirits failed when they used the elemental spirit stone. Is there some kind of reason behind it?'' What Ajax said was true because most of his elemental spirits increased their cultivations using the elemental spirit stones. So, he asked what the reason behind it was. ''Ding, It is the system''s help for the host to grow stronger. Generally, the system thought to provide it until the host reaches the King realm. However, the system will stop providing its help when using the elemental spirit stones from now on. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the system notification before him because he didn''t know there was such a thing. What''s more terrible is that the system said that he couldn''t sessfully upgrade his elemental spirits with the elemental spirit stone anymore. ''So, what is the sess rate for my elemental spirits?'' Since the system had already said those words, Ajax knew it would not change its decision. So, he decided to ask about the sess rate. ''Ding, There is no specific percentage. The rate of sess decreases with the grade of the elemental spirit stone. The higher the grade of the stone, the lower the sess rate will be. ''Sigh'' After seeing that, Ajax could not help but sigh because, without the system''s help, he needed more and more elemental spirit stones to increase his elemental spirits'' cultivation in the shortest time. What''s more, unless he enters the Ylercester province or other normal worlds, it is almost impossible to find the summoners, much less an evil summoner, to kill him and his elemental spirits to get the elemental spirit stones. "Now, it''s time to check the three elementalw stones." Chapter 851: Lightning Fire

Chapter 851: Lightning Fire

"Now, it''s time to check the three elementalw stones." After feeling satisfied with the 11 King grade elemental spirit stones in his inventory, Ajax looked at the three crystals beside the elemental spirit stones in the inventory. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental Law Stone Grade:- Level 10 Elementalw:-? Underworld fire Skill:- Underworld summons. Skill description:- When the elementalw is activated, the elemental spirit can activate a portal connected to the underworld and summons the underworld beings. Note:- The number of summons is directly dependent on the level of the elementalw. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental Law Stone Grade:- Level 10 Elementalw:- 100 deadly fires Note:- For every single level, the elemental spirit gained 10 types of fire and by the time the elementalw reached level 10, the elemental spirit will have 100 deadly fires. Skill:- Absolute fire control Skill description:- The fire gained from the elementalw can be manipted by the elemental spirit at will. When the skill is activated, all the deadly fires can be merged into the deadliest fire. ''Ding, Item name:- Elemental Law Stone Grade:- Level 10 Elementalw:-? Lightning fire Skill:- Annihtion Skill description:- The elementalw is a mutation of the fire element with the lightning element that makes the normal attacks more powerful and when the skill is activated, everything in its way will be decimated. Note:- A single elemental spirit can only use one elementalw stone in his/ her life. As soon as he took out the three elementalw stones from the inventory, theplete information about the three elementalw stones appeared in front of him. ''Nice.'' Since these elementalw stones are from the King grade elemental spirits, all three of them were level 10. Moreover, he was satisfied with the elementalws stored in the elementalw stones. However, right now, I can''t use any elementalw stone because Volcanis had already used one elementalw stone. As for another elemental spirit, he is yet to reach the general realm. So, it is not best for an elemental spirit below the elite general realm to learn an elementalw because it would do more harm than good to the elemental spirit''s body. So, with a bitter smile on his face, Ajax stored the three elementalw stones back into the inventory. ''I have many things to use but my elemental spirits are weak to use those items.'' Ajax shook his head; however, all of a sudden, he remembered something. ''Since only a general realm elemental spirit stone is stopping my fire elemental spirit from using the other items, I will just buy it from the elemental spirit store.'' That''s right! He forgot that he could buy the elemental spirit stones; however, there might be a reason why he forgot about it because after buying the blood elemental paradise from the elemental spirit stone, he left with 5 or 6 spirit points. However, after killing Master Red, the system rewarded him with 1000 spirit points. So, he thought of buying a general realm elemental spirit stone. ''System, show me the spirit points in my ount.'' Soon, Ajax asked about the system about the spirit points. ''Ding, Total spirit points:- 1006. ''Excellent.'' Even though Ajax already knew how many spirit points he had in his ount, when he saw the number, he was excited and decided to go on a shopping spree. ''Show me the general realm elemental spirit stone for fire elemental spirits.'' Ajax only needs a general realm elemental spirit stone to get another peak elite general realm elemental spirit who can readily learn an elementalw. ''Ding, 100 spirit stones for a general realm elemental spirit stone. Soon, a system notification appeared in front of him with the cost of the spirit stone. "Buy it." Ajax felt it was okay to spend 100 spirit points to get a peak elite general realm elemental spirit. Moreover, if he had more powerful elemental spirits, he could get more spirit points from the mission ''Kill in three moves''. ''Ding, Consumed 100 spirit points. ''Ding, A general realm elemental spirit stone added to the host''s inventory. Please check it. As soon as he said that, two system notifications appeared in front of him. ''There goes my 100 spirit points.'' Even though he knew that he would get the spirit points back from the mission, Ajax felt a little pain when he spent 100 spirit points on a general realm elemental spirit stone. ''Elemenntal spirit stone.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned the elemental spirit stone he had just bought and looked for his fire elemental spirit. ''Ignis,e here.'' ''I am here, summoning master.'' As soon as Ajax called the elemental spirit, the fire elemental spirit named Ignis hurried towards him. "Take it and use this stone to break into the general realm." First, Ajax gave the general realm elemental spirit stone to Ignis. ''Thank you, summoning master.'' Ignis thanked Ajax and crushed the elemental spirit stone and soon mysterious energy came out of the spirit stone and entered into Ignis. ''I hope this will not fail.'' As for Ajax, he was praying that Ignis should enter the elemental spirit general realm without any problem because his heart would bleed to buy another general realm elemental spirit stone from the elemental spirit store. Currently, in Ajax''s inventory, there were many fire elite general realm spirit stones. So, he was not worried much for Ignis to fail when breaking into the elite general realm; however, he hoped Ignis'' current breakthrough should not be failed. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used a general realm elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit has sessfully entered the general realm. ''Phew'' Only when he received the two system notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "Next, use it." Without wasting any time, Ajax took out an elite general realm fire elemental spirit stone and tossed it to Ignis, and asked Ignis to use it. The good thing about using the elemental spirit stones is that there would be no side effects for the elemental spirits. So, Ajax was not bothered that something would happen to Ignis. ''Yes, summoning master.'' As for Ignis, he was excited to see the elite general realm fire elemental spirit stone and nodded his head. Soon, he crushed the elemental spirit stone and the mysterious red-coloured energy came out of the stone and entered into Ignis'' body. Ajax was eagerly looking at Ignis hoping it would be another sessful break though. Why would anyone want to fail just because they have few more chances? Ajax was also like that and hoped for a sessful breakthrough. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used the elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, The break through into the elite general realm failed. Please try again. ''Sigh'' What Ajax was not hoping to happen had happened and the break through is failed making Ajax sigh. After the system notifications rang in Ajax''s head, the mysterious energy dispersed into thin air and Ignis opened his eyes with a sad look on his face. ''Another one.'' Since there is no time limit between the elemental spirit stones, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he tossed another elite general realm fire elemental spirit stone at Ignis. ''Yes.'' Ignis was also a stubborn one and didn''t want to give up when his summoning master was so encouraging and provided such high-level cultivation resources for him. So, he caught the elemental spirit stone and crushed it. Just like before, the mysterious energy came out of the elemental spirit stone and surrounded Ignis and made him glow with bright red colour. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used the elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, The break through into the elite general realm failed. Please try again. One against the same system notifications rang in Ajax''s head; however, Ajax didn''t stop there as he gave another elemental spirit stone to Ignis. As for Ignis, he repeated the same thing only to be failed once again. Within a short span, Ajax had wasted three elite general fire elemental spirit stones. But, still, Ajax gave another elemental spirit stone to Ignis. ''Today, either Ignis should enter into the elite general realm or I should expend all the elite general realm fire elemental spirit stones in my inventory.'' Since he has only two fire elemental spirits, Ajax wanted to use all the fire cultivation resources on his fire elemental spirit to make them powerful. Moreover, he knew that he would not get any new elemental spirit until he reached the King realm. So, he was not acting stingy when ites to the elemental spirits. ''Summoning master, I think I should wait for some time and understand more about the general realm before using this stone again.'' However, Ignis didn''t use the elemental spirit stone this time; instead, he replied to Ajax that it might be better for him to understand the general realm first. Actually, Ignis wanted to use another elemental spirit stone; however, he felt guilty for using three valuable things but still didn''t enter the elite general realm and he thought he should not waste any more elemental spirit stones for his master. So, he said those words. ''Is something wrong with your body? Are there any side effects on your body for continuously using the elemental spirit stone without a break?'' Ajax frowned when he heard Ignis''s words and asked him about his body. ording to Ajax''s knowledge, there were no side effects; however, he never knew if he continuously used the elemental spirit stones without giving a break. "No, summoning master. I am perfectly alright." Ignis shook his head and said, "I have not contributed much to receive so many cultivation resources at once." Chapter 852: Spendthrift

Chapter 852: Spendthrift

Ignis replied to Ajax with an apologetic look on his face. In Ignis'' view, he had done nothing big for his summoning master to receive such rewards from him. Moreover, with each failure in breaking into the elite general realm, Ignis felt he was wasting the resources for his summoning master. So, he decided to wait for some time before using another elemental spirit stone. "Haha" When he heard Ignis'' reason for not using another elemental spirit stone, Ajax could not help butugh out loud and at the same time, he replied back to Ignis, "What if I say you can help me more if you be an elite general realm elemental spirit? And I need the assistance of elite general realm elemental spirits as soon as possible." "Also, I even chose a powerful elementalw stone. So, as long as you be an elite general realm elemental spirit, you can help me more." Ajax finished his words with a slight smile on his face and looked at Ignis hoping he would use the elemental spirit stone. ''I..I think I can use it.'' Even though Ignis hesitated for a moment, but, when he thought he could learn an elementalw, Ignis could not help but nod his head. After nodding his head at Ajax, Ignis crushed the fourth elemental spirit stone and soon, the mysterious energy into Ignis'' body. ''I will not keep any hopes and will try until I expend all the elemental spirit stones in my inventory.'' This time, Ajax didn''t bother to pray and he was adamant about not stopping what he had started in the middle. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used an elite general realm elemental spirit stone. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit has sessfully entered into the elite general realm. ''Haha'' Ajax was not expecting to hear such beautiful system notifications. So, he could not help butugh and looked at Ignis who had grown more powerfulpared to before. When he was in the general realm, Ignis was very thin with in clothes; however, now, he was wearing shining red-coloured robes just like Volcanis. Nevertheless, Volcanic has a crown on his head from the start andpared to Ignis, his robes looked more attractive. "Thank you, summoning master, for having faith in me." Usually, Ignis was very confident in himself; however, after seeing that he had failed three times in a row and wasted three elite general realm elemental spirit stones, his confidence in himself wavered a little making him nearly didn''t use another elemental spirit stone. However, his summoning master encouraged him to use another elemental spirit stone which was a sess. So, he thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart. "No need for that. You have to learn an elementalw as soon as possible and along with other elemental spirits, go and conquer the Wester foxnds." While saying that, Ajax tossed another crystal at Ignis. This time, it was not an elemental spirit stone; instead, it was one of the three firie elementalw stones he got from earlier. "It has a fire elementalw known as lightning fire. I hope you can learn it in an hour before starting the conquering mission." When he received the elementalw stone, Ignis froze with excitement; however, Ajax didn''t bother with it as he exined the fire elementalw stored in that crystal. "Of course, I will do it within an hour, summoning master." Ignis nodded his head and without wasting any time, he entered into the fire and water dual elemental parade. He sat in the fire region of the elemental paradise and crushed the elementalw stone in his hand. ''Kacha'' As soon as Ignis crushed the elementalw stone, lightning sparks came out of the crystal and among the lightning sparks, there were bright red-coloured sparks that were rushing into Ignis'' body at an incredible speed. ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, Ignis groaned in pain; however, he didn''t open his eyes as he continued to endure the pain from the elementalw entering into his body. ''Sigh...I hope he will learn it in less time.'' Looking at Ignis from the distance, Ajax sighed and hoped that Ignis would learn the ''Lightning fire'' elementalw within less time. The thing is, Ajax was more focused on the elemental spiritspared to the contracted spirit beasts becausepared to the spirit beasts'' mission, the elemental spirits'' mission rewards him heavily. Moreover, Ajax was in need of more spirit points. So, he thought of using only elemental spirits to conquer the Western Foxnds. As long as an elemental spirit kills an elite general realm fox who was responsible for the destruction of the ghost fox tribe, in a single move, Ajax would get 100 spirit points. ''Let see how Ignis'' skills are?'' Since it will take some time for the Ingis to learn an elementalw, Ajax thought to see Ignis'' skills. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Ignis Element:- Fire Strength:- Level 1 elite general realm. Skills:- Fire shield (level? 6), Fire spear (level 5), Fireball (level 4), Fire trolls (level 3), Fire asteroids (level 2) and Inferno (level 1). ''Good.'' Ajax nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. Even though Ignis'' skills were not too powerful, they were not bad either. Moreover, with the help of his elementalw and Ajax''s bloodline, even normal skills would be very powerful. ''I should buy more elemental paradises for my summons.'' Soon, Ajax noticed that many of his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts still didn''t have a good ce for cultivating. Moreover, he had spirit points now, he wanted to buy a few elemental paradises. So that, his summons could cultivate peacefully. ''I should get a Life and Earth elemental paradises for Spirus and it.'' Since these two elemental spirits were with him from the start, Ajax decided to create an elemental paradise for them because their cultivation was low because of having no elemental paradise. ''System, I want a Life and Earth elemental paradises.'' Ajax felt that if he thought much about other elemental paradises, he would fall into a dilemma. So, he first decided to buy these two elemental paradises. Moreover, there is another earth elemental spirit with him. So, the earth elemental paradise could be used by two elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts like the Golden bear king and his son. ''Ding, 200 spirit points are deducted from the host''s ount. ''Ding, The construction for the Earth elemental paradise and Life elemental paradise has started and will bepleted within 12 hours. Please wait until then to use those elemental paradises. ''Compared to auxiliary elemental paradises, regr elemental paradises are cheap to buy.'' After seeing the two system notifications, Ajax looked for the new elemental paradises and looking at the auxiliary elemental paradise, Ajax shook his head. ''I have 706 spirit points. I can either buy seven regr elemental paradises or four auxiliary and one regr elemental paradise.'' Ajax pondered for a moment as he checked his options. ''Except for Wind elemental paradise, I have all regr elemental paradise for my summons. So, I will go for the second option.'' Soon, Ajax came to a conclusion and ordered the system, "Construct a wind elemental paradise." ''Ding, 100 spirit points are deducted from the host''s ount. ''Ding, The construction for the Wind elemental paradise has started and will bepleted within 12 hours. ''Now, I have to select four auxiliary elemental paradises.'' After selecting the Wind elemental paradise, Ajax looked at his auxiliary elemental spirits and started pondering about the elemental paradises. ''Septon has some good skills. So, Metal elemental paradise should be my first choice. Next, Mist, Flower and Light elemental paradises should be better choices.'' Soon, Ajax selected all the elemental paradises he wanted to buy and only one elemental spirit didn''t have an elemental paradise. It was for the Ice elemental paradise. ''As long as I get another 150 spirit points, I can buy thest elemental paradise.'' Since he only required one more elemental paradise to buy, Ajax thought he should build it as soon as he got the spirit points. ''Ding, 600 spirit points are deducted from the host''s ount. ''Ding, The selected elemental paradises will be finished within the next 12 hours. Soon, the system had informed about the constructions of the elemental paradises through the notifications. ''Now, I have only left with 6 spirit points.'' Ajax shook his head for a moment and when he thought about the iing spirit points from the mission, he felt a little better. ''Now, all I have to do is wait until Ignis learns his new elementalw.'' Since he had finished all the arrangements, Ajax looked at the distant Ignis and waited for him to learn the elementalw. ''Also, it looks like there is still some time before Master Red''s corpse is refined in the Arcane spirit turtle.'' Next, Ajax looked at the huge green-coloured turtle in the distance and checked at the earlier system notifications to check whether he missed something. ''Huh?'' As he expected, there was a system notification he missed from the time he killed Master Red. When he killed Master Red, not only did he get 1000 spirit points, but he also unlocked a new title. ''Let''s see whether there are some benefits to the title.'' Ajax was excited to see the new title and without wasting any time, he opened the ''Title'' section and checked for more information. ''Ding, Title name:- King killer. **** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. ***** Sorry for thete release. I was a little busy with something. I hope you understand. Chapter 853: King Killer

Chapter 853: King Killer

''Ding, Title name:- King Killer. Effect:- When fighting a King realm cultivator, the host will not be suppressed by the cultivation pressure from the cultivator. Note:- It can not be stacked with other titles. Soon, the effect of his new title ''King Killer'' appeared in front of his eyes. ''It is not too powerful but it is a good effect for me in my current cultivation realm.'' After seeing the information on the King Killer, Ajax casually nodded his head and thought it was quite a useful title to have. The King realm ispletely different from the elite general realm and it was almost impossible for an elite general realm cultivator to kill a King realm cultivator. Moreover, the cultivation pressure released by the King realm cultivator is too powerful that makes the cultivators below King realm cultivators freeze with fear. However, with the help of his new title, Ajax could ignore the cultivation pressure from the King realm cultivator. ''Even though it is not stackable with other titles, it is still useful.'' Ajax didn''t mind whether he could use this title with other titles or not. All he wanted was to ignore the cultivation pressure from the King realm cultivators. ''Ding, The refinement of Master Red''s corpse is finished. Please take the refined product. While he was looking forward to seeing the effect of King Killer in the future, Ajax got a system notification that made looked at the distant Arcane spirit turtle with great excitement in his eyes. ''Finally...finally, it is finished.'' When he first refined a human corpse, Ajax got a bloodline crystal. So, he was excited and without wasting any time, he rushed towards the turtle for the refined product. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he rushed towards the huge spirit turtle, a stone was thrown out of the huge shell of the Arcane spirit turtle. ''Let''s see what it is.'' With a thought, he caught the stone and checked the details of that stone. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire cultivator''sw stone. Grade:- Level 10 Cultivator''sw stored:- Fire devourer. Skill rted to the cultivator''sw:- Devour. Skill description:- Can devour all types of mes to increase the strength of the host''s me and the cultivator''sw. Note:- If any mes are very powerful, the host has to endure a lot of pain while devouring those mes. ''Huh? A cultivator''sw stone?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw theplete details of the stone in his hands. ''Ding, Thew stone is different for the elemental spirits and the cultivators. ''Ding, Thew stone from the elemental spirits can only be used by the elemental spirits whereas thew stone gained from the cultivators can only be used by the cultivators. ''So, it is like this.'' Before he could think much about the stone in his hands, the system sent another two system notifications exining to him the difference between the cultivator''sw stone and the elementalw stone. ''So, I can start learning thew stored in this stone?'' Since Ajax had an affinity with various elements, he could learn any type ofw. So, after learning that a cultivator could learn thew from thew stone that came from another cultivator''s body, Ajax was greatly excited. ''Ding, Do you want to use the fire cultivator''sw stone? While he was lost in his excitement, Ajax received a system notification asking him whether he wanted to use thew stone in his hands or not. ''System, isn''t it better for me to wait until I reach the elite general realm?'' Earlier, when he wanted to give the elementalw stone to his general realm elemental spirit, the system suggested to him not to give the elementalw stone until an elemental spirit enters the elite general realm. However, now, the same system is asking him whether he wants to use thew stone or not? So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host''s body is differentpared to the elemental spirit with the same cultivation as the host. ''Ding, The host''s body is tempered with fire, lightning and even the host''s ''Golden core cultivation system'' gives a significant boost to the host''s battle prowess. So, there will be no problem for the host except for some pain. Soon, the system sent two notifications exining why he could use thew stone and why his elemental spirits should not use the elementalw stone until they became elite general realm elemental spirits. ''Then, I will use it.'' After learning that there would be no major problems for him in using the elementalw stone, Ajax decided to use it. ''Ding, The host is using the fire cultivator''sw stone. ''Ding, The host will be entering into an enlightened state for the next six hours. ''What?'' Before Ajax could know what was happening, his consciousness entered into a different dimension which waspletely surrounded by mes. ''Aargh'' Soon, Ajax felt those mes were devouring him which made him groan; however, he muttered, ''It''s all my imagination.'' It was just tofort himself; however, the pain was for real. ''I can do it.'' The pain was increasing in a second and disappearing without a trace in another second. So, Ajax felt he could do it as long as he noticed the pattern in which he feels the pain and gets ready for it. ...¡­ Beside him, his second fire elemental spirit, Ignis was also entered into a deep meditative state as he was also learning an elementalw of his own with the help of the elementalw stone in his hands. Time continued to pass and within a sh three hours passed. Ajax''s spirit consciousness form which was in the inner world had long disappeared as he could not endure much pain in that form. However, after he returned to his body, the sharp pain from the beginning was not painful for him anymore because his body had endured so much pain. Compared to those pains, the current pain was nothing. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully learning a cultivator''sw ''Fire devourer''. ''Ding, Please check the information about your cultivator''sw in the user interface. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit, Ignis, for learning the elementalw ''Lightning fire''. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit, Volcanis for learning his second elementalw ''Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids''. As soon as he opened his eyes, Ajax''s head was filled with congrattory notifications from the system. ''Excellent.'' After seeing those system notifications, Ajax was excited as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even though the pain was bearable for him, Ajax was still covered in his sweat from the pain. As for his excitement, not only did he learn aw but one of his fire elemental spirits had also learned aw. Not only that, but his first elemental spirit, Volcanis learned his second elementalw making Ajax greatly excited. ''Open my interface.'' Soon, without wasting any time, Ajax opened the user inference and checked his neww. ''Ding, Cultivator''sw:- Fire devour (level 1). Effect:- With the help of thisw, the user can devour all types of mes within 10 meters radius around the user to increase the power of his own fire. At the same time, the level of the cultivator''sw will be increased. Skill:- Devour. There was no new information about thew but Ajax was very happy because it was his firstw. Even though it will not increase his battle prowess, it will help him reach his cultivator''sw to level 10 in the shortest time possible; however, he had to find some powerful mes to devour. ''Next, Ignis''s elementalw.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax looked at information about Ignis'' new elementalw. ''Ding, Elementalw:-? Lightning fire Grade:- Level 1 Skill:- Annihtion Skill description:- The elementalw is a mutation of the fire element with a lightning element that makes the normal attacks more powerful and when the skill is activated, everything in a 10-meter radius around the elemental spirit will be decimated. ''Haha.. a powerful destruction skill.'' Ignis'' regr skills were not very powerful; however, the skill thates with an elementalw is so powerful that it covered his regr skills. "Ignis, it''s time for you to shine." As soon as he checked the information on Ignis'' elementalw, Ajax entered into the inner world and said with a slight smile on his face. "It''s all thanks to you, My summoning master." Ignis'' respect towards Ajax increased to another level after giving such valuable cultivation resources that made him from one of the weakest elemental spirits to one of the strongest elemental spirits. So, he thanks Ajax from the bottom of him. ''There is no need to thank me.'' Ajax shook his head as he looked at Volcanis who was walking towards him with a slight smile on his face. ***** Kingrig, thanks for the SWORD.

Chapter 854: Necros and Bane gives the third drop of elemental spirit essence

"I will provide the cultivation resources for you and how much you utilize them is on you." While looking at Volcanis, Ajax replied to Ignis with a slight smile on his face. "I will try my best to help the summoning master with the conquering mission." Ignis replied to Ajax as he silently thought in his head, ''It looks like I have done the right thing in forming a contract with my summoning master.'' The thing is Ignis only formed the contract because of the continuous persuasion from space elemental spirit Prophis. There was another thing that Ignis was bored to death for staying in the elemental spirit world. So, he agreed to Prophis'' request to venture into the worlds outside the elemental spirit world. However, who would have expected that his summoning master was very generous and before he could help his summoning master with anything, he had already gained so many cultivation resources that not only helped him reach level 1 elite general realm but he also learned a powerful elementalw. So, he wanted to prove something to his summoning master that his cultivation resources were not wasted on him. "Congrattions to you too, Volcanis for learning another elementalw." Soon, Volcanis had reached Ajax. So, Ajax congratted him just like how he did to Ignis. "I will not disappoint the summoning master in the mission." Volcanis stayed with Ajax for a long timepared to the other elemental spirits. So, he didn''t thank Ajax; instead, he swore that he would try his best toplete the mission. "I know." While maintaining a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head because he knew what kind of elemental spirit Volcanis was and how determined Volcanis would be when ites to bing stronger and helping him. "So, are you ready for the mission ''Conquering the Western Foxnds''." Without wasting any time, Ajax asked Volcanis and Ignis while summoning all the elemental spirits at the same time. "We are ready, summoning master." Since Volcanis and Ignis were near Ajax, they were first in giving the reply and the other elemental spirits were a little slower in replying. "Summoning, Should I give my third drop of elemental spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing''." Not all elemental spirits said the same thing. There were two elemental spirits who said something different from others. "Of course. The more powerful you be before the start of the mission, the better it will be." As soon as Ajax heard those words, he was excited before the ''Tree of blessing'' does miracles and Ajax was curious to see those miracles. So, without any hesitation, Ajax gave permission to the two elemental spirits who would get the rewards from the ''Tree of blessing'' as soon as they drop another drop of elemental spirit essence. "Thank you, summoning master." The two elemental spirits were none other than the poison elemental spirit, Bane and the dark elemental spirit, Necros. Just like Volcanis and Cerauno, they were the few elemental spirits who started refining their elemental spirit essence to nurture the ''Tree of blessing'' to gain their own rewards. However, they were a little slowpared to them but still, they managed to refine three drops of the elemental spirit essence in which they have already given two drops of the elemental spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing'' and only one drop away from gaining a blessing. After hearing Ajax''s words, the two elemental spirits moved towards the ''Tree of blessing'' and without wasting any time, they dropped their elemental spirit essence on it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ''Tree of blessing'' started growing at an incredible speed and reached 10 meters within a few seconds. ''Woah'' When Ajax looked at the ''Tree of blessing'', Ajax was shocked because he didn''t expect it to grow to 10 meters within a few seconds. ''Let''s see whether its blessings will be increased or will it still be the same?'' Ajax was curious and continued to wait for the fruits for Necros and Bane to grow on their respective branches. Soon, a huge ck coloured fruit grew on a ck-coloured branch and a small light green-coloured fruit on another branch. ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he saw two fruits of different sizes because he expected that the ''Tree of blessing'' would be impartial and give the same fruits with different abilities. However, Ajax felt there should be some luck for the elemental spirits to gain some good fruits. "Kacha" "Crunch" While Ajax was in his thoughts, the two elemental spirits didn''t waste any time as they plucked the fruits from the ''Tree of blessing'' and directly munched on them. As soon as they finished eating the fruits, Necros and Bane sat down on the ground before closing their eyes and entered into a deep meditative state. ''Sigh...the temptations from the fruits of the ''Tree of blessing'' are very hard to resist.'' Looking at the two elemental spirits that are sitting beside the ''Tree of blessing'', Ajax shook his head as he sighed at them. Nevertheless, he was curious about the blessing they are going to receive from the fruits. ''Everyone, as soon as they wake up from their meditation, I will leave the task of conquering the Western foxnds to you.'' Since Necros and Bane were busy in their meditation, Ajax looked at the other elemental spirits and ordered them to prepare themselves. "Yes, summoning master." All the elemental spirits were eager to prove themselves in the conquering mission. So, all the elemental spirits excitedly nodded their heads. Since Ajax wanted to gain as many spirit points as possible from the mission ''Kill in three moves'', he wanted all his powerful elemental spirits. So, he waited for Necros and Bane to wake up from their meditation. At the same time, the contracted spirit beasts were envious of the elemental spirits because ording to their master, only elemental spirits were going to help him in conquering the Western foxnds. Nevertheless, they didn''t say anything because they knew that their master had his own reasons for doing so. "Don''t worry. In the future, you will be fighting non-stop. When that timees, don''te to me and say that you want a break." Ajax replied to all the contracted spirit beasts because he knew they were a little envious of elemental spirits; however, he can''t let them go into the action right now which will decrease his spirit points. ''Roar'' When they heard Ajax''s words, all the contracted spirit beasts roared at him in understanding. ''Until they wake up, I will go and temper the surveince of the firebase.'' Soon, Ajax came out of his inner world and walked out of his room to meet Elen. "Elen, I want you to help me with the fire base'' surveince." Since Elen was the one who used to manage the surveince on the five elemental world for a while, he was very good at it. Also, he promised Ajax that he would help him with anything. So, Ajax asked Elen to help him with the surveince. "There are many methods to destroy the surveince of the firebase." Elen walked out of his room and without wasting any time, he started exining how to destroy. "There is a most simple method to destroy; however, it will cost you a lot of spirit stones." He started with the most simple method and looked at Ajax to see his reaction. "Spirit stones?" When he heard those words, Ajax raised his brows for a second before revealing a slight smile and said, "The one thing Ick right now is spirit stones. I will go with it." Since Elen said it was the most simple method to destroy the surveince, Ajax didn''t bother about the cost because he had millions of spirit stones in his inventory. Moreover, he also has a spirit stone mine managed by Red. So, all he had to do was to enter the spirit stone mine and take the spirit stones from Red. "It will take 100000 spirit stones to destroy a single surveince formation. What do you say?" Even though Ajax seemed confident, Elen gave the cost to see whether Ajax would still agree to go with the same method or not? "It''s not a problem." Ajax thought it would cost him more than that; however, after hearing the cost to destroy a single surveince formation, Ajax''s confidence increased even more and said it won''t be a problem for him. "But, there are more than 10000 of them in the Western foxnds alone. So, are you sure about it?" Elen still did not seem convinced and said the total number of surveince formations are ced in the Western foxnds. "It''s a piece of cake¡­.what? 10000 of them?" Ajax thought it was piece of cake for him; however, when he heard how many surveince formations were ced in the Western foxnds, Ajax was shocked to the core and asked Elen for confirmation. ********* cageraymortal, thanks for the RING. Kellee_States, 1Fan_aticReader, thanks for the GRIMOIRES. Chapter 855: Competitions between Elemental spirits and Spirit beasts

Chapter 855: Competitions between Elemental spirits and Spirit beasts

"Yes. There are exactly 10000 surveince formations in the Wester foxnds alone and each one of them requires 100000 spirit stones. So, are you still interested in going with this method?" Finally, Elen revealed a slight smile because even for Master Red, who was a king realm cultivator, it was a significant amount. "It will cost me one billion spirit stones." Ajax calcted the total number of spirit stones and he was shocked with the amount. Currently, he had a little more than 20 million spirit stones; however, in front of one billion spirit stones, it was nothing. "Are there any other methods to remove those formations?" Since he didn''t have that many spirit stones, Ajax asked for other methods. "There are many other methods but it will take at least one hour to remove a surveince formation; however, if Master Ren helped you, it will take less time." Elen gave a suggestion to Ajax to ask for help from Master Ren. "No." However, Ajax instantly rejected Elen''s suggestion without any hesitation. "So, you have to destroy those formations one by one and it will take you more than a year in breaking all those formations." Elen shrugged because, without Master Ren''s help, it is impossible for Ajax to destroy all the formations within a short time. "So, you are saying that all the methods require a long time to destroy the formations?" Ajax frowned as he asked Elen. If there are surveince formations, then the firebase of the summoner''s group would observe every single one of his summons. Summoning Volcanis, Necros and other regr elemental spirits would not be a big problem; however, summoning more than a couple of auxiliary elemental spirits is not a good thing. Moreover, if he summoned the space elemental spirit and Time elemental spirit and got noticed by the summoner''s group, he would be another unnecessary trouble for him. ''Wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about something. ''Since the summoner''s group already wants me dead, another target on me will not be a big problem, right?'' When he thought about it, Ajax revealed an excited smile as he continued to think to himself, ''I have had enough with being fearful of others noticing my summons. It''s time to go all out.'' Finally, Ajax feels he doesn''t have to fear anything because Master Ren will protect him because Master Ren needs him to get him back to his world. Moreover, he has a smaller world ticket and at the same time, he could just go back to the Purple stone world. Actually, Ajax was frustrated for not summoning all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Back in the Purple stone world, he felt that he would be continuously hunted by the other powers if they knew about the number of elemental spirits with various elements under him. Since he didn''t want to be hunted in the world he grew up in, Ajax was careful; however, in the Five elemental world, why should he fear someone when he is already a powerful entity protecting him. "Forget it. I will not bother about the surveince formations." Soon, Ajax replied to Elen with an excited smile and walked out of the white castle. Along the way, Snow also followed behind him. Elen was surprised to see the sudden change in Ajax''s emotion; however, he didn''t say anything and went back into his room to cultivate. As for Ajax, he walked out of the white castle and stopped in front of the golden statue. "Master, you called for me?" When Ajax stopped in his steps, Snow asked with a polite look on her face. "Yes. Let''s wait for the other two toe here." Ajax gave a reply to Snow and stood there silently while looking at his own golden statue. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' "Greetings, master." It didn''t take much time for Raweth and Sparrow to fly from a distance andnd in front of Ajax as they greeted him with respectful looks on their faces. "You are right on time." Ajax didn''t wait for much time for them. So, he nodded his head as he continued, "The thing I called you here is to give you a task." "We will not disappoint the master and try our best toplete the task." Raweth was the first one to reply to Ajax with a serious look on his face. As for Snow and Sparrow, even though they didn''t reply to Ajax, they became serious when they heard Ajax''s words and continued to listen to them. "My elemental spirits will conquer the Western foxnds after some time." Ajax was always satisfied with the attention given by his summons, be it a contracted spirit beast or an elemental spirit, they would always remain focused whenever he gave them a task or mission. So, he continued exining their task, "All you have to do is pick some good fighters from your tribes and keep a watch on the elemental spirits. Unless they were in imminent danger, you don''t have to help them. Do you understand?" After finishing the exnation, Ajax asked them whether they have any doubts regarding their task. "Master, if we also participated in the conquering mission, it will bepleted soon, right?" Snow asked Ajax with a respectful look on her face. The only reason she asked that question without any fear was that she knew her master was not a type to get easily triggered with questions. "Yes. But, I want to test the elemental spirits. If they were able toplete the mission on their own, then they will be rewarded and if they took your help multiple times, I will reward you, the contracted spirit beasts. What do you think?" Ajax answered Snow''s question and at the same time, he exined the process of his missions to the elemental spirit and the contracted spirit beasts. "So, in the future, will there be missions like that for us too?" Raweth and Sparrow asked at the same time with excited looks on their faces. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and silently thought in his head, ''Finally, I can make thepetitions between the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and make thempetitive.'' "Also, amidst the mission, you should not help them even when they don''t need any help to get rewards. At the same time, you all have to remember that in my eyes, both the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits are the same. So, I don''t want thesepetitions between you two to grow into enmity. Do you understand? " Ajax guessed what would be the problems that mighte out by his current actions and tried to warn them to not make unnecessary enmity between themselves. "Yes, master." ''Yes, master.'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' Ajax''s words were transmitted to all his summons which were inside the inner world too. So, they also nodded their heads in understanding. Right now, except for Twilight and Ghost, all the contracted spirit beasts were re-cultivated into humanoids or humans. So, everyone spoke in a human tone while replying to Ajax. "Good. Go and ready the strongest fighter from your tribes." Soon, Ajax ordered Snow and the other two to prepare for the iing mission to watch over the elemental spirits. **** No gifts today -_- Chapter 856: Back to back orders from the firebase

Chapter 856: Back to back orders from the firebase

"Yes, master." ''Swoosh'' As soon as they received orders from Ajax, all three contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads and went back into their tribes. As for Ajax, he continued to observe the golden statue in front of him and waited for the two elemental spirits to open their eyes in the inner world. ''It looks like I have to wait for another hour or so.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he lost in his thoughts. .... In the Western foxnds. As Ajax was preparing to conquer the Western foxnds, the entire Western foxnds were already in turmoil. More than 12 hours ago, the 28 fox tribes received an order to hunt down a ghost fox; however, they were unable to catch it. As they were busy searching for that ghost fox around the territory of the tailed spirit fox tribe, all the 28 tribes once again received an order from the firebase of the summoner''s group. This time, it was more of advice instead of an order. The order was they have to be careful for the next one month and if possible, they have to seal their entire tribe. ''How can we seal our tribes all of sudden?'' ''You have to give us more information about why you are giving such an order to us?'' All the 28 tribe leaders asked the firebase to give them more information regarding what was happening. However, they didn''t get any reply from the firebase of the summoner''s group, making them grunt at the behaviour of the firebase. ..... In the control chamber of the firebase. "Hey, we got orders from the main base." A young man in red robes looked at the screen until he heard a hurried voice from outside of the control chamber. Soon, another young man in the same robes as the first young man rushed into the control room. "What are the orders? Is it to inform the 28 fox tribes to be careful for the next one month until Master Green and Master Browne here?" Before the young man could say what the orders were, the young man who was monitoring the situation in the Western foxnds guessed the orders from the main base. After Elen left the firebase, another young man took over the position to monitor the five elemental world. Currently, he waspletely focused on observing the situation in the Western foxnds. Earlier, he asked the main base what to do with the Wester foxnds.; however, before he could get the orders from the main base, he gave his own orders to the 28 fox tribes groomed by the firebase because he could give the orders now and in his view, they were the right orders. So, he assumed the main base would give the same orders and looked very confident. "See for yourself." The young man tossed a scroll at the sitting young man before going back to look at his monitor. Everyone in the control chamber monitors a. Not an entire but a few regions where the firebase was capable ofying surveince formation. Let''s take the five elemental world as an example. In the five elemental world, there were four regions and the firebase of the summoner''s group was only capable ofying the surveince formations in only two regions. They were Shixato Wilds and Western foxnds. Some might think, what the firebase was doing when Ajax entered the five elemental world? At the same time as Ajax entered the Shixato wilds, the entire firebase was busy watching the Western foxnds. As for the other two regions, even though the firebase was afraid to fight against them, Master Red wanted to wait until he retrieved the three artifacts from the Western foxnds. However, before he could get his hands on them, he died in the hands of Master Ren. "What?" As for the young man, who recently became in charge of the five elemental worlds, he read the scroll which contained the recent orders from the main base of the summoner''s group. After reading it, he waspletely shocked because he didn''t expect the main base to be this cruel. ''Sigh...I can''t do anything for you.'' Nevertheless, he shook his head and suppressed his emotions before sending the orders he read in the scroll. ''I have to be careful and prove myself to be worthy. So that, I will not be expendable for the summoner''s group.'' While thinking that, the young man closed the monitor because he knew what would happen next. .... In the Western foxnds, ''Huh? Another order?'' All the tribe leaders who were groomed by the firebase received another order from their sponpser. After reading those orders, they became excited. In the order, it was mentioned that there are two young summoners who betrayed the firebase and currently, they were in the Shixato wilds making some kind of deal with the three tribes of the Shixato wilds. ording to the order, as long as they catch the young men who were only level 2 general realm and level 5 elite general realm cultivators, the firebase of the summoner''s group would reward them generously. The rewards included that the tribe leader along with five members from his tribe will be recruited into the firebase as its members. "We have to catch them before the other fox tribes catch them." "Yes, tribe leader. We can''t miss this opportunity." "As long as we catch, our tribe will be the sole ruler of the Western foxnds and there is even a chance of bing the ruler of the five elemental world." In every tribe, all the members were talking more or less the same lines. Everyone was excited because they were very sure that Shixato wilds is just a weak region among the four regions in the Five elemental world. So, without hesitating much, all 28 fox tribes started preparing themselves before rushing towards the Shixato wilds. "Tribe leader, what happened?" However, there was one tribe, which didn''t make any preparations to rush towards the Shixato wilds because their tribe leader didn''t give the order to prepare. It was none other than the grey-furred fox tribe in which Ajax killed one of its fox guardians. When they saw that their tribe leader Frey was not giving any orders, one of the elders of the tribe asked him. "For some reason, I feel there was something wrong with this order." After contemting for a few moments, the tribe leader Frey replied to the elder of his tribe with a serious look. "Huh? Can you exin about it, tribe leader?" Almost all the elders of the tribe frowned when they heard Frey''s words and asked him to exin about it. Even though they were dissatisfied with Frey''s words, they still maintained the respectful looks because they knew that Frey was the strongest one among the tribe. "Before this order, we got another order, remember?" Frey frowned when he saw that the elders were questioning him which never happened until now. "Yes, tribe leader." All the elders nodded but among them, a few elders were signalling with one another while nodding their heads. ***** Sadukar8_dnd, thanks for the RING. Chapter 857: Freys dominance

Chapter 857: Frey''s dominance

Frey lost in his thoughts to notice the signalling among some elders. Nevertheless, after getting the reply from his tribe elders, Frey continued to exin, "Earlier, they asked us to be careful for the next one month; however, within an hour, the order changed into a rewarding mission. So, I feel there is something fishy about it." "Last time also, you stopped us from one of the rewarding missions and because of that, the other fox tribes has caught up to us." As soon as Frey finished his words, all the elders remained silent for a moment before one of the elders countered Frey''s word with a scoff. "Tribe leader, stop being paranoid for nothing." "Why will the summoner''s group try to harm us?" "If any of our rival tribes be stronger after this mission, the fall of our tribe will be because of your poor decision." As soon as the first elder of the grey-furred fox tribe spoke, some other elders supported the first elder and said a few more things which made Frey and the rest of the elders'' frown at those words. ''Are they nning to rebel?'' ''The first elder has always eyed the tribe leader''s position and gathered some supporters for a moment like this. I think there will be a fight for the tribe leader position today.'' ''What do you think? Who are you going to support?'' ''Who? Of course, the one who is going to win.'' Soon, the other elders stopped frowning as they guessed what was going on and started discussing each other. In the fox tribes, it is a tradition that the first elder can always challenge the tribe leader for the tribe leader position and as long as he wins, the entire tribe will ept the winner as their leader. So, no elder bothered to pick a side and waited until the first elder issued a challenge to the tribe leader. Also, there was another thing. Because of the rapid grooming of the 28 fox tribes, their intelligence is not better than a 15 year old human. As long as there was a reward in front of them, they would not think much about anything except for the reward. However, Frey was a little different from other fox tribesmen. Even though he was not too intelligent, he could sense when there was something wrong and since he is the tribe leader of the grey-furred fox tribe, he had to protect them with his life. As for the first elder of the tribe, who was eyeing the position of the tribe leader, he started his rebellion right now because he felt what Frey had done dissatisfied many tribesmen which included some elders. So, he thought it was the right time to execute his n. "Are you challenging me to a duel?" The frown on Frey''s face disappeared as he stood up from his chair and asked the first elder with a slight smile on his face. There was nothing wrong in challenging the tribe leader; however, the intentions of the challenger should be good for the tribe. However, Frey could guess that his first elder only wants power rather than the safety of the tribe. "Instead of having a cowardly tribe leader, I want a brave tribe leader who never fears anything." As for the first elder, he didn''t answer Frey directly; instead, he said that Frey was a cowardly tribe leader whereas he would be a brave one. "Stop the nonsense. If not for my intuition, our grey-furred tribe would have long disappeared from the face of this five elemental world." Frey became a little serious after hearing those words and replied to the first elder that made the elder a little shivered. "Anyway, if you want a challenge, just say it. No need to act all righteous in front of others because everyone knows what kind of person you are." Controlling his anger, Frey asked whether he wanted to challenge him or not. "..." When the first elder saw Frey''s face, for some reason, he felt a bad premonition in his heart and remained silent for a second. "If you are not challenging me, just step aside and keep your mouth shut." Frey scoffed at the first elders and looked at the other elders and asked, "If anyone thinks my decision is wrong, you can prove me by winning against me in a challenge; otherwise, just keep your mouth shut.'' Until now, Frey thought he should not show his tyranny towards his own tribe members; however, today, he felt why the tribe leaders of the old three fox tribes were very cruel towards their tribe members. ''Looks like I need to keep my tribe members in their ce.'' With a scoff at all the elders of his tribe, Frey went back into his room leaving the silent elders. ... "What happened to you, First Elder?" "Aren''t you supposed to challenge him?" "Don''t tell me you were not confident in winning against him." As soon as Frey left the meeting hall, the elders who were close to the first elder asked with frustrated looks on their faces. "I think it is not the right time to challenge him." Even though the first elder was scared to challenge, he didn''t agree to it in front of everyone because his followers would lose faith in him if he said that. So, he acted like ''It''s not the right time, let''s deal with it some other time'' and walked away from the meeting hall. "As you say, first elder." Even though everyone felt something was not right with the first elders, they were not brave enough to say it in front of him. Soon, everyone left the room leaving an empty meeting hall behind. ... Inside the firebase. "Everyone, how are you doing?" A middle-aged man entered the control chamber and asked the few young men working on the monitor the various regions in various worlds. "We are good, Deputy leader." Everyone replied with respectful looks on their face when they saw the middle-aged man in the red robes. After the death of Master Red, this middle-aged man became the temporary leader of the firebase. However, he was nowhere near Master Red''s cultivation. He is just a peak level 10 elite general realm cultivator with a level 5 cultivator''sw. "Huh? Why is no one monitoring this screen?" Earlier the young man watching the five elemental world took a break because he could not watch the massacre that was about to happen in the Shixato wilds. So, currently, the seat in front of the screen was empty. So, he walked towards the screen and started checking what was happening on it. "Deputy leader, I just sent an order to our fox tribes in the Wester foxnds before taking a small break." The young man from earlier hurriedly entered the control chamber and replied to the middle-aged man. "Give me a glimpse of what happened in the five elemental world after the death of Master Red." However, the middle-aged man didn''t get up from his seat and asked the young man to give a glimpse. "Deputy leader, the thing is¡­." Soon, the young man exined everything to the middle-aged man. "Interesting." ****** Drewnt, thanks for the POTION. Thanks for everyone who sent BALLONS. Chapter 858: Deputy leaders scheme

Chapter 858: Deputy leader''s scheme

"Interesting." After hearing the entire story from the young man, the deputy leader of the firebase nodded his head with an interesting look on his face. "Deputy leader, I will take care of monitoring the Western foxnds. Why don''t you go and rx?" The young man knew that the deputy leader of the firebase was a cruel cultivator. In the Western foxnds, bloodshed was already about to start and if the deputy leader watched it, he would make it even more terrible. So, the young man tried to move the middle-aged man from his seat. However, the deputy leader was already hooked on the story he heard from the young man. So, why would he stand up? "You can go back to your cultivation chamber and cultivator. I will take care of this Western foxnds'' situation on my own." After saying his words, the middle-aged man signalled another young man to take the young man from earlier out of the control chamber. The young man was powerless and with a sigh, he left the control chamber. ''It is the way of the world.'' ''It is the way of the world.'' Along the way, the young man muttered the same line to control his emotions. Actually, he joined the summoner''s group in order to stop the innocents from getting killed by the powerful cultivators; however, he truly understood only after he joined the summoner''s group. After seeing many cruel things done by the summoner''s group, the young man thought to be powerful and create his own faction where no innocent should be killed. However, until then, he had to keep his mouth shut and increase his strength. ¡­.. Back in the control chamber of the firebase, the deputy leader took the control of watching the Western foxnds. "Let''s see how I can spice up the things in the Western foxnds." Looking at the huge monitor in front of him, the deputy leader muttered to himself. As for the other young men who were busy watching their own screens, they were scared when they noticed the cruel look on their deputy leader. For the deputy leader, all those groomed by the summoner''s group, even himself, are expendable. However, the beings seen on the monitor screen were even more expendablespared to them Since the task given to them earlier was already a suicide mission, the deputy leader wanted to y with them. ''Whom should I y with?'' The monitor in front of him changed from one fox tribe to another; however, when the grey-furred fox tribe appeared on the screen, the deputy leader raised his brows. "Why are they not moving towards the Shixato wilds?" He muttered to himself as he asked the same question to the tribe leader Frey thought of a formation. "Master, sorry for being blunt but I feel that it is a suicide mission and in the earlier order, it is not mentioned that it is a guaranteed mission. So, I decided to be out of this mission." Frey had given a good ce for the fire base and the summoner''s group in his heart. So, he respectfully replied through the formation te in his hand. "So, you are not tempted by the rewards from this mission." When heard the reply from Frey, the deputy leader revealed an excited smile as he replied to Frey. "Yes, master. For me, my tribe is more important than the rewards." Frey continued to maintain the same respectful look on his face as he replied into the formation te. Before he was chosen by Master Red, Frey was just a lowly ve in the demonic fox tribe. In that tribe, the upper echelon of the tribe only valued those who had potential and didn''t even bother about the average fox tribesmen. After watching it, Frey swore that if he ever became a tribe leader, he would not be blinded by the momentary rewards if it had the risk of getting killed by his tribesmen. So, there was no hesitation when he replied into the formation te. "Good. You can take rest until you receive another mission." The deputy leader nodded his head and praised Frey and ended the transmission with the grey-furred fox tribe. After ending the transmission, the slight smile on the deputy leader''s face disappeared and it was reced with a cruel smile. "Activate the voice transmission to all fox tribe leaders except for the grey-furred fox tribe leader." Soon, he gave amand to someone besides him. "Yes, deputy leader." The young man who was sitting near the deputy leader stood and moved his hands at an incredible speed before speaking to the deputy leader, "It is ready." After finishing his words, the young man went back to his seat and continued to monitor the desertednds on his screen. "Everyone, there is the fire base. Pay your attention for a few moments." Nodding his head the young man, the deputy leader started speaking with the 27 tribe leaders groomed by the fire base. Currently, almost all the tribe leaders were rushing towards the Shixato wilds along with their armies. As soon as they noticed the energy fluctuations from the formation te, they stopped in their tracks and started listening to the wordsing out of it. "Along with the earlier mission, another bonus mission is released for you." When the deputy leader noticed that everyone was paying attention to his words, he continued to speak, "It has been noticed that one of the tribes groomed by the fire base had betrayed us by helping the leader of the ghost fox tribe. So, the fire base''s leader has steeled his heart and gave an order to destroy that fox tribe as a warning to others." Saying until there, the deputy leader paused for a moment to give some time for the tribe leaders to digest his words. As for how the deputy leader knew about the ghost fox tribe, it was the talk of the base when it happened. So, he used that knowledge to destroy the grey-furred fox tribe. "Which tribe dared to betray the fire base?" "I am going to destroy that tribe by myself." "Without the fire base, there would have been only two fox tribes, how can they bite the hand that gave them food." As for the tribe leaders, when they heard that one of the fox tribes betrayed the fire base, they were shocked and became angry before deciding to destroy that fox tribe. Controlling their emotions, they asked for the name of the fox tribe that betrayed the summoner''s group. "It is none other than the grey-furred fox tribe. Master Red was very keen that there should not be a trace of a single grey-furred fox in the five elemental world." As soon as he finished his words, the deputy leader cut off the transmission and let the tribe leaders do their thing. ''You want to leave a mission given by the main base? Let''s see how you and your tribe are going to survive.'' With that thought in his mind, the deputy leader looked at the grey-furred fox tribe with a cruel smile on his face. *** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 859: Undead Intelligence

Chapter 859: Undead Intelligence

Even though Master Red had died already, the deputy leader used his name because Master Red was the one who groomed all 28 tribes. So, as long as his name was used, the fox tribes whose intelligence was affected by the rapid increase in their cultivation, would not think much about it. ''Grey-furred fox tribe?'' ''No wonder, they were able to increase their strengthpared to many other tribes.'' ''Aso, the ghost fox tribe was right under our noses all this time.'' ''Let''s not spare the grey-furred tribe.'' As soon as they heard the tribe name, all the fox tribe leaders were shocked for a moment before bing agitated. The current tribe leaders were just like a young man who was consumed by anger and would not see theplete picture. They were only focused on the grey-furred fox tribe''s betrayal and even added some lines that supported the betrayal of the grey-furred fox tribe. "Everyone, let''s destroy the grey-furred fox tribe before entering the Shixato wilds." Since the grey-furred fox tribe was neared to thempared to the Shixatro wilds, all the fox tribe leaders decided to goplete the bonus mission first. There was another reason why they wanted to destroy the grey-furred fox tribe and it was because of the rapid growth of the grey-furred foxes which, of course, brought hate to the grey-furred fox tribe. .... As for the grey-furred fox tribesmen, they were a little dissatisfied with their tribe leader''s orders. Nevertheless, somewhere in their hearts, they knew that except for a few cases, their tribe leader''s intuition always bes right. Moreover, they didn''t have enough strength to prove their tribe leader wrong. So, they kept their mouths shut and continued with their work. As for the ''fox tribes'' storming towards them, they didn''t have a slight clue about it. ...¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh, thirty minutes passed by. ''Finally, you two woke up.'' In front of the white castle of the lightning hawk tribe, Ajax muttered to himself when he felt some fluctuationsing from the inner world. Soon, he found a spot and sat there before entering into the inner world to check on Necros and Bane. ''Swoosh'' ''Let''s see what you two gained from the ''Tree of blessing''.'' As soon as he entered the inner world, he didn''t waste any time and directly checked for them. ''Ding, Necros gained a new skill ''Undead intelligence'' by consuming the fruit of the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, Bane gained a contracted elemental spirit beast. ''Ding, Please check more details in the ''elemental spirits'' section. Soon, he received a series of system notifications informing him about the gains of his two elemental spirits from the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Huh? No elementalw?'' After seeing them, Ajax was a little disappointed because he expected his elemental spirits to learn the elementalw. Nevertheless, Ajax knew he should not be greedy and just let his elemental spirits continue to nurture the ''Tree of blessing.'' ''Let''s see more about them.'' Since there was only vague information in the earlier system notifications, he opened the ''elemental spirits'' section to see more information about them. ''Ding, Skill name:- Undead Intelligence (level 1). Effect:- All the undead beings summoned by the elemental spirit will have a certain amount of intelligence to trick their enemies. ''Oh. Since Necros has five undead summons, this skill will be very useful.'' Soon, theplete information about Necros'' new skill appeared in front of him which made Ajax nod his head with satisfaction. ''I wonder what type of elemental spirit beast did Bane has gained.'' As a summoner, Ajax knew what an elemental spirit beast is; however, it was his first time getting one for his elemental spirit. So, he was a little curious about the elemental spirit beast gained by Bane. An elemental spirit beast is a beast that could only form a contract with the elemental spirits; however, ording to what he knows, these elemental spirit beasts can only be born in the elemental spirit worlds that were connected to the greater worlds. So, even though he entered the elemental spirit world multiple times and formed contracts with many elemental spirits, he was unable to find a single elemental spirit beast in the elemental spirit world connected to the Purple stone world. ''Ding, Elemental spirit beast:- Five coloured poisonous toad. Strength:- Rank 1. Skill:- Poison whip. Skill description:- The toad''s tongue turns into a poisonous whip for one minute. ''A suitable beast for Bane.'' Even though this elemental spirit beast was weak, Ajax was not worried about it because unlike the rtionship between the human cultivator and the spirit beast, the rtion between the elemental spirit and the elemental spirit beast will be different. The elemental spirit beast''s cultivation talent will be directly linked with the elemental spirit and it will continue to grow along with its master. "So, are you ready?" After checking the new gains of Necros and Bane, Ajax asked all the elemental spirits in the inner world. "Yes, summoning master. We have been waiting for it." Almost all the elemental spirits received significant growth either in their cultivation or in their battle prowess. So, they were excited about some action and nodded their heads with excited looks on their faces. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and disappeared from the inner world. Soon, he stood up from the spot he sat earlier and stretched his body a little before calling out his elemental spirits. ''Except for Halo and Prophis, everyonees out.'' He waited for his three contracted spirit beasts toe with their forces and when he saw Snow and the other two spirit beasts bring 100 powerful tribesmen each from their tribes, Ajax called out his elemental spirit. As for Halo and Prophis, he had other ns for them. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he called them, the entire courtyard was filled with the elemental spirits of various colours. Outside the courtyard, 300 tribesmen from three tribes were standing in a proper formation. "Master, we have prepared the powerful tribesmen from our tribes." Snow and the other two spirit beasts informed Ajax with a respectful look on their faces. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and said to his three contracted spirit beasts, "Come with me." As saying that, Ajax flew into the sky andnded on the huge wall. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, the three young tribe leaders alsonded beside him. "Everyone, I have a favour to ask you today." Even though the three tribesmen below the wall are under his contracted spirit beasts, Ajax didn''t want to take advantage of it. "Master Ajax, there is no need to ask a favour. You just have to order us." "Yes, Master Ajax." "If not for your help, we would have not progressed to the current stage within such a short time." . . . As soon as Ajax finished his words, the tribesmen standing below asked Ajax to just order them because they respect Ajax a lot. If not for Ajax, all three tribes would have been still fighting with one another and would not have developed to their current stage. So, they didn''t mind taking Ajax''s orders. *** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. The_EvilerSun, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 860: All Set To Conquer

Chapter 860: All Set To Conquer

"Hearing your words made my heart warm." Ajax said those words from the bottom of his heart as he continued saying, "But I will reward you for your help today with something good." Before anyone could reply, Ajax continued to speak, "All you have to do is to watch my elemental spirits fight and when they need any help, you have to help me. I hope, you will only help them when they really need help while fighting the fox tribes from the Western foxnds." Soon, Ajax finished his exnation in a single breath and looked at the 300 tribesmen from three tribes. "We will try our best, Master Ajax." "Rest assured Master Ajax, we will help your elemental spirits from getting killed." . . . . Soon, all the tribesmen replied to Ajax with excited looks on their faces. They felt very excited because they were finally going to help Master Ajax with something. "Good." When Ajax saw the reaction from the tribesmen, he nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face and jumped down from the tall wall before saying, "You three split them into small teams to watch over the elemental spirits." Those orders were directed towards Snow and the other two tribe leaders. "Yes, master." Even though Ajax had long jumped down from the wall, they replied to him before taking control over their tribesmen and started making small teams. "Since there are 21 elemental spirits, let''s make them into 20 teams and I will look after the 21st elemental spirit, what do you say?" Raweth suggested Snow and Sparrow after taking a nce over the inner side of the wall. Currently, in front of Ajax, there were 21 elemental spirits waiting for Ajax''s orders to attack the 28 fox tribes in the Western foxnds. So, Raweth suggested what he was thinking to the other tribe leaders. "Do you really think the master only has 21 elemental spirits?" Snow scoffed at Raweth after hearing his idea. Snow, as the second contracted spirit beast of Ajax, had travelled a lot with Ajax and knew more about him. So, ording to what she knows about her Master, he would definitely keep one or two trump cards under his sleeves. "Of course, I thought about it too." Raweth revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied, "That''s where you twoe in. If the master summons extra elemental spirits, you can watch over them. Until then, just do whatever you want." As for Raweth, even though he had only spent a little time with Ajax, he could guess his master''s ns a little. So, when Snow scoffed at him, he replied with a confident smile as though he knew what he was doing. "I am okay with it." As for the Sparrow, after hearing Raweth''s exnation, she agreed with Raweth''s suggestion. "Let''s go with it then." After thinking for a moment, Snow also nodded her head and agreed with Raweth''s idea. "Good then. Let''s start making teams then." Soon, Raweth, Snow and Sparrow made themselves busy with ''making teams'' to watch over the elemental spirits. .... "Everyone, in this mission, I will not bother what you do or how many you kill but I want only one thing from you." On the inner side of the wall, Ajax looked at his elemental spirits and continued saying, "And that is you have to kill your enemies within three moves. It would be even better if you killed them in a single move." "Yes, summoning master." All the elemental spirits excitedly nodded their heads. Earlier, before entering the five elemental world, even though Ajax summoned all his elemental spirits, only strong elemental spirits like Volcanis, Necros, Cerauno and Bane controlled the situation. So, they were very eager to prove to their summoner master what they are capable of. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and thought about summoning the destructive divine dragon; however, it hurriedly removed that thought. ''If I summon him, he will definitely don''t bother aboutpetitions between the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and just fight until everything is destroyed.'' Ajax silently thought in his head what the destructive dragon would do if he took it to the Western foxnds. Unlike other contracted spirit beasts, Twilight is very hard to convince for Ajax. So, he didn''t want to take the risk of letting the dragon out of his inner world. If there was not a mission that gives the free spirit points, Ajax would have not bothered about makingpetitions between the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. However, with such a generous reward, he didn''t want to waste it because of Twilight''s stubbornness. ''After you finish with the team-making process, ask your tribesmen to pick the elemental spirits with them before flying towards the Western foxnds.'' Since he could not summon the destructive dragon from the inner world, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to Snow and the other two tribe leaders. ''Yes, master.'' Without any dy, Ajax got a reply from the three re-cultivated spirit beasts. "Penta,e out." After that, Ajax summoned the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world from his inner world. ''I have a task for you.'' As soon as he summoned the five elemental spirit beast, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to the spirit beast as he continued, ''You hide underground and keep an eye on the fox tribe leaders. Do you understand?'' Hearing Ajax''s orders, the five elemental pentapus nodded its head. Among all the summons Ajax had in his inner world, the five elemental pentapus is the strongest one and Ajax could totally rely on it because not only did it have five different types of skills that could cover all its weak points but it also learned five different elementalws. So, he gave the task of keeping an eye on the fox tribe leaders for the five elemental pentapus. "Master, our tribesmen are ready." While Ajax was saying a few more things to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beast, Snow and the other two contracted spirit beasts flew down from the wall and informed Ajax that their tribesmen are ready. "Great." Finally, after hearing that Ajax became excited because it will be his first time to be present in the conquering mission. Previously when Raweth and others conquered the Shixato wilds, he was not here; however, this time he is with them but the difference is except for the elemental spirits, no one is ying a major role in this conquering mission. "Everyone, you heard them. Let''s go." Soon, Ajax shouted at the elemental spirits with an excited tone as he walked out of the courtyard of the white castle along with his elemental spirits. "Let''s fly now." As soon as he gave that order, Raweth caught Ajax and flew into the air. Simrly, the tribesmen from the three tribes picked one elemental spirit and flew into the air. Even though Ajax could fly with the help of his ''Lightning cloud steps'', the speed will be quite low along with the high consumption of the essence of nature. The current Ajax was not worried about the consumption of the essence of nature; however, he didn''t want to waste any more time regarding the ''Conquering mission''. ******* cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 861: Grey-furred fox tribe is in trouble

Chapter 861: Grey-furred fox tribe is in trouble

In the Western foxnds, While Ajax was flying towards the Western foxnds with his elemental spirits and the powerful tribesmen of the three bird tribes, all the fox tribes had surrounded the grey-furred fox tribe. "Where is your tribe leader? Ask him toe out and face us." "A traitor like you should not exist in the Western foxnds." "How can you bite the hand that groomed you into what you are today?" The fox tribesmen didn''t attack the grey-furred fox tribe directly; instead, they wanted to taunt the grey-furred fox tribe before killing them. ''What?'' All the grey-furred tribesmen were shocked to see the more than one hundred thousand foxes from the twenty-seven fox tribes. What shocked them, even more, was the words of the other fox tribesmen. ''What did we do?'' ''When did we betray the summoner''s group?'' ''And for what reason will we betray our benefactor?'' The grey-furred tribesmen became enraged at the usations of the betrayal. In their view, the usation of betrayal is one of the harshest things to say. So, they could not help but feel enraged. If they really betrayed, they would have not felt anything; however, they were truly loyal to the summoner''s group andpleted all the mandatory missions given by them. Only if the mission is not mandatory and their tribe leader felt the mission was dangerous, he would not order his tribesmen toplete that mission. "What are you doing?" All of a sudden, a greyish brown figure rushed out of the grey-furred fox tribe and shouted with an enraged voice. He was none other than the tribe leader of the grey-furred fox tribe. As a tribe leader of the grey-furred fox tribe, how could he remain calm after the usation of the betrayal? So, he exuded his cultivation pressure as he stared at the 27 fox tribe leaders. "Frey, I thought you were not the type of person to betray our benefactor." After Frey asked his question, one of the fox tribe leaders, whose body was much bigger than other tribe leaders, spoke with a disgusted look on his face. He is the tribe leader of the Gaint fox tribe and had some respect towards Frey; however, after learning of the grey-furred tribe''s betrayal, that respect towards Frey disappeared and was reced with disgust. "Don''t act like you don''t know anything, Frey. Today is the day you and your tribe are going to perish from the face of this five elemental world." At the same time, another tribe leader who had two small horns on his head said to Frey before giving an order to his tribes, "Everyone, don''t let anyone from the grey-furred fox tribe escape today." He is the tribe leader of the horned devil fox tribe leader. "Yes, tribe leader." As soon as he finished his words, all the tribesmen from the horned devil fox tribe rushed towards the grey-furred fox tribe without bothering to say anything. "Everyone, activate the formation." As for Frey, he didn''t hesitate to activate the formation and silently thought in his head, ''Damn it. Why do they think my tribe betrayed the summoner''s group?'' "It''s no use, Frey. The barrier protecting your tribe will notst very long and if we attack it together, it might be even destroyed in a single punch." One of the tribe leaders scoffed at Frey and looking at his sides, that tribe leader asked, "Everyone, all it needs is a single punch from all of us at once. So, let''s work together to destroy this traitorous tribe. What do you say?" "Since the Poison fox tribe leader is say so, I don''t have any problem." "Me neither." "I don''t have any problem working together with other tribe leaders." Soon, all the fox tribe leaders agreed to the poison fox tribe leader''s suggestion. Because the formation protecting the grey-furred fox tribe will waste so much of their time. Moreover, they don''t have much time to waste because they have another mission toplete. So, everyone agreed to work together in breaking the formation. "On my count¡­.Punch." After everyone agreed to his words, the Poison fox tribe leader shouted as loud as possible and all the fox tribe leaders attacked the barrier all at once. ''Boom'' As soon as the Poison fox tribe leader finished his words, all the tribe leaders used their full powered punch on the barrier protecting the grey-furred fox tribe and a huge explosion urred that pushed all the tribe leaders a couple of meters away from the barrier. ''Huh? Why is this barrier so powerful?'' This was the only thought in their minds because they also have the same formation for their tribes; however, they felt the barrier guarding the grey-furred fox tribe is more powerful than their own barriers. "If you didn''t betray the summoner''s group, then why is your barrier so powerful than ours?" "Also, how are you bing more powerful by taking only a few missions from the summoner''s group?" All the tribe leaders were already frustrated at the rapid growth of the grey-furred fox tribe by taking only mandatory missions and when they saw the powerful barrier protecting the entire 10-mile radius tribe, they scoffed at Frey. "So, you are concluding that my tribe betrayed the summoner''s group just because of my tribe''s rapid growth?" When he heard the tribe leader''s usations, Frey could not help but let out an angry smile on his face and continued saying, "So, you are just jealous and envious of my tribe''s rapid growth." Frey concluded that it was just jealousy and envy that forced all the tribe leaders to attack his tribe. "If you leave now, I will not report your behaviour to the summoner''s group." Still, Frey controlled his emotions and said with a serious look on his face. The summoner''s group had made a strict rule that no fox tribe should not openly attack the other fox tribes, much less go to an all-out war. So, Frey used the summoner''s group name to make all the tribe leaders go away and focus on the other mission given by the summoner''s group. ''Haha'' ''Haha'' As soon as the tribe leaders from the 27 fox tribes heard those words, they could not help butugh out loud. ''Huh?'' As for Frey, he frowned at the tribe leaders''ughter because he didn''t understand why they wereughing. "What are youughing at?" Nevertheless, Frey asked them why they wereughing with a serious look on his face. "Frey, I thought you already understood the current situation you are in; however, it looks like I am wrong." The Gaint fox tribe leader shook his head as he looked at Frey with pity. "Do you think we would dare to attack an entire tribe in an open ce like this?" "Along with the mission in the Shixato wilds, we got another mission and it was to destroy your tribe." "So, we have the permission to destroy your tribe." One tribe leader after another mocked Frey for not understanding his current situation. ''What'' Frey''s eyes became dull after hearing those words. ****** Dwight_Slywk, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON AND LOLLIPOP. Chapter 862: An Ugly Battle

Chapter 862: An Ugly Battle

The thing is Frey already felt that there was something wrong with the appearance of all 27 fox tribe leaders along with their tribes at once, right in front of his tribe; however, Frey was praying that his feeling should be wrong. But the reality is always disappointing. At least for Frey. "Everyone, let''s not waste our words on a traitor; instead, we continue to destroy the barrier." Soon, one of the tribe leaders shouted and everyone started working on destroying the barrier. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Every time, they hit the barrier, there would be an explosion that would push all the tribe leaders away. Nevertheless, they continued to repeat the same process again and again. ''I need to think something and let the young tribesmen leave from here without getting caught.'' As for Frey, he was worried when he saw how determined the tribe leaders were in destroying his tribe and thought of the young tribesmen who had a lot of potential in them. Actually, even though all the fox tribes leaders groomed by the fire base had reached the peak level 10 elite general realm cultivators, they have already reached their limit. No matter how many cultivation resources they were given, it is almost impossible to help them enter into the King realm. This fact was also known by the fox tribe leaders; however, they didn''t give up because all they had in their hands was time. However, the young tribesmen of these fox tribes were different, especially the grey-furred fox tribe''s young tribesmen. When all the half-minded fox tribe leaders were using the cultivation resources on their young tribesmen without bothering about the side effects, Frey, on the other hand, was more careful when ites to his young tribesmen. Even though the young tribesmen of the grey-furred fox tribe are weak whenpared to the other 27 fox tribes, their talent is top-notch and as long as they cultivate properly with some cultivation resources, they would reach the King realm without any problem. As soon as he thought of the young tribesmen, Frey started thinking about how to help his young tribesmen escape from their current situation and finally thought of something before looking at the grey-furred fox man beside him. ''Little brother, I am giving the most important responsibility in your life and the oue will decide whether our grey-furred fox tribe will survive this ordeal or not? I hope you will not mess this up.'' Frey didn''t dare to say those words openly. So, he used the voice transmission and at the same time, he quickly gave his storage ring. Even though they were not blood brothers, Frey trusted him a lot in his tribe and he was confident in his little brother. ''What do I need to do, tribe leader?'' As soon as he heard those words, Frey''s little brother asked what he needed to do. ''Take all the young tribesmen and enter the Mountain lion woods. Don''t worry about anything. If someone stops you, show that ring I just gave him. I will stop anyone who dares toe after you guys. Now, go.'' Frey looked at the barrier which started shaking and he knew that it wouldn''tst for much longer. So, he briefly exined what to do and asked him to just go away from here. ''Tribe leader, where did you get this¡­.'' ''It is not the time to talk. Just leave from here and when the timees, you will know. Also, don''t think about revenge and let the young ones have their own life.'' Before his little brother could finish his words, Frey interrupted him and forced him to go away from the ce. ''Don''t forget to close the underground tunnel before you leave it.'' ''Boom'' Just as Frey finished those words, the barrier that was protecting his entire tribe was sted into nothingness. "Didn''t I say, the barrier won''tst for much longer." "It''s over, Frey." "You can''t save your tribe. So, if you don''t fight, it will be over soon." Soon, all the tribe leaders revealed evil smiles on their faces before ordering their tribesmen, "What are you waiting for? Kill every single one of them." "Yes, tribe leader." As soon as they got the order from their tribe leaders, more than one hundred thousand fox tribesmen rushed towards Frey and his tribe. "Everyone, if there is no way out of this, let''s fight to the death." Seeing that the things had already gone pretty far, Frey directly gave the order ''Fight to the death''. ''We have to help our young tribesmen live from this situation. So, even if you have to give your life, don''t hesitate.'' At the same time, he silently sent his voice transmission to his entire tribe. "Let''s fight to the death." Even though sometimes, some of the tribesmen didn''t like Frey''s orders, right now, they didn''t mind giving their lives to the young tribesmen. So, they nodded their heads and rushed towards the iing enemies with determination in their eyes. Even though they knew they couldn''t win against the iing armies of the fox tribes, for the survival of the young tribesmen, they started fighting without any care for their own life. Soon, the ugly fight started in which one side had less than 5000 members whereas, on the other side, they had more than 100000 members. ... A few hundred kilometers away from the Western foxnds, in the Shixato wilds, Ajax was flying along with others. He didn''t have a slight clue about the fight between the grey-furred fox tribe and the 27 fox tribes. "Uncle Errol, do you have any interest in looking after the Western foxnds after I conquer it?" While Ajax was being carried by Raweth, Errol, Ghost''s father, was being carried by some Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribesmen. Along the way, Ajax asked Errol a question without thinking much. Since Errol had lost his entire tribe because of the 28 fox tribes doing their bidding for the fire base, Ajax thought of bringing him in to see the destruction of the 28 fox tribes. "If it is possible, I will just leave this five elemental world." Errol replied with a bitter look on his face which made Ajax stop from asking any more questions. For the rest of the distance to the border of the Western foxnds, they didn''t talk much and stayed silent. ''Master, there is something going on in the Wester foxnds.'' All of a sudden, the five elemental spirit beast Pentapus sent a voice transmission to Ajax that made him frown a little. Since he was going to kill all the fox tribes before conquering the entire Western foxnds, why would he not send a scout to check the situation inside the Western foxnds? And luckily, the five elemental spirit beast is a good scout that could move underground without getting noticed by anyone. Moreover, the five elemental spirit beast is the guardian spirit beast of the five elemental world and it gets full protection from the world core from getting killed by anyone. "Everyone, let''s wait for her for a moment." Without any hesitation, he gave an order to stop. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 863: Fox eat Fox lands

Chapter 863: ''Fox eat Fox''nds

Even though everyone was confused why Ajax asked them to stop all of a sudden, no oneined andnded on the ground. ''Rumble'' Before anyone could ask what happened, the ground in front of Ajax shook a little and the five elemental spirit beast came out of the ground. Soon, everyone understood what must have happened and didn''t bother to ask while waiting for Ajax''s next order. ''Give me the full details.'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and asked Pentapus to summarize everything that it had seen in the Western foxnds. "Master, many fox tribes are attacking a single fox tribe...¡­. It must be the grey-furred fox tribe." Whatever it learned when it was in the western foxnds, the five elemental spirit beast exined everything about how the tribe leaders destroyed the barrier and how an ugly battle started. "Grey-furred fox tribe? What a small world." Ajax was surprised to hear that the grey-furred fox tribe was under attack by the other fox tribes and felt, "It looks like a? ''Dog eat dog'' situation or maybe I should call it a ''Fox eat fox'' situation''." He was not sympathized with the grey-furred fox tribe because Ajax felt they deserve it for destroying for Ghost fox tribe. ''They were just doing their duty.'' All of a sudden, the old voice which was supposed to be in slumber woke up and said those words. ''Since you have awakened, can you answer my questions?'' Ajax was a little surprised to hear the old voice in his head; however, as soon as he controlled his emotions, he asked whether the old voice was ready for some questions or not? ''Sigh...young men these days don''t respect their ancestors anym¡­..'' Before the old voice in his headpleted, it was stopped in the middle and as usual, it left Ajax hanging in the middle of some more new questions. ''Ancestor?'' ''How is that possible?'' Ajax frowned for a moment before cooking to the conclusion, ''I will add these questions to the list and ask him more about it when he awakens the next time.'' ''Now, I have to think about the current situation.'' Even though there might be new questions for the old voice in his head, Ajax knew it was just a waste of time pondering about them if there was no one to answer his questions. So, he decided to think about the fox tribes and conquer the grey-furred fox tribe. "Everyone, let''s go. We will wipe all the fox tribes first before focusing on the two main fox tribes." As soon as he decided to focus on what''s in front of him, Ajax gave the order and soon, everyone started flying towards the Western foxnds. ''What does the old voice mean by those words?'' Along the way, Ajax remembered the words of the old voice in his head. ''Is he talking about the fox tribes?'' ''So, is he asking me to save the grey-furred fox tribe?'' Ajax focused on the first line said by the Old voice. After thinking for a few moments, Ajax understood what those words meant and he agreed with him. The 28 fox tribes were groomed by the fire base and they had to do everything their Master (Fire base) told them. ''If I do not kill them, they will kill meter. Moreover, I am not killing the saints. So, I don''t think it will affect meter on in my cultivation journey.'' After all the thinking, Ajax felt there was nothing wrong with killing the fox tribes. ''Also, they are taking my spirit points.'' Since the grey-furred fox tribe was one of the 28 fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s group, as long as he killed the tribesmen of the grey-furred fox tribe, he would get spirit points if his elemental spirits killed them. However, currently, the grey-furred fox tribe was getting destroyed making him lose spirit points. So, he asked everyone to move fast towards the ce where the grey-furred fox tribe was situated. "Ajax, there is something I want to tell you." While Ajax was looking forward to reaching the grey-furred fox tribe, Errol spoke all of a sudden. ''Huh?'' Looking at the serious look on Errol''s face, Ajax raised his brows before nodding his head indicating Errol to continue. .... While Ajax was rushing towards the grey-furred fox tribe, the entire tribe was filled with blood and many corpses belonging to the grey-furred foxes, red foxes, horned fox and many other types of fox corpses. However, among all the corpses, the highest number of the corpses belongs to the grey-furred foxes. In the entire grey-furred fox tribe, there was Frey and along with 100 or so tribesmen standing. They werepletely covered in blood from different fox tribes along with their own. ''Huf Huf Frey and his tribesmen were clearing tired just after a few minutes because they were fighting with their full power and tried to kill as many fox tribesmen as possible. ''You all did well. Our efforts are not useless. By now, our young tribesmen must have left the underground tunnel and destroyed it.'' Even though they were all tired, they were maintaining an excited smile on their face because they guessed their young tribesmen were faces. ''Phew'' Nevertheless, only when they heard the silent voice transmission from their tribe leader, they heaved a sigh of relief. "Frey, even though your tribe is outnumbered, your tribe members are still able to kill some of our good fighting tribesmen; however, this ends here." While Frey and hisst standing tribesmen were heaving a sigh of relief, the poison fox tribe leader stretched his body and said those words. This is the actual reason why all the fox tribes hate the grey-furred fox tribe. Even with their fewer numbers, they were able to make some losses for all 27 fox tribes. The Grey-furred fox tribe is just the lowest ss in the fox race. So, when they saw the superior battle techniques even with low cultivation, the grey-furred fox tribe gained a lot of hate from the other fox tribes which were provided with the same amount of resources from the fire base. However, the grey-furred fox tribe became a top 10 fox tribe in the Western foxnds which was not liked by almost everyone. "Haha." Hearing those words from the poison fox tribe leader, Frey startedughing out loud as he spoke, "Don''t worry, I will make sure you suffer even more losses today." As soon as he finished his words, Frey turned into a huge grey-furred fox and roared at everyone before ordering his hundred or so tribesmen who almost reached their end. "You know what to do. Take as many as possible with you. I will try to take out a couple of tribe leaders." As soon as he finished his words, Frey rushed towards the fox tribe leaders who were also turned into their beast forms. ''Yes, tribe leader.'' As for Frey''s tribesmen, they nodded their heads and turned into medium-sized foxes before rushing into various directions. ''Roar'' At the same time, the other fox tribesmen also did the same. Soon, the entirend waspletely filled with foxes of various sizes and various colours. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the POTION. David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Chapter 864: Lion Kings Blessing

Chapter 864: Lion King''s Blessing

''Grrr'' Frey looked at the 27 fox tribe leaders that surrounded him and growled before selecting the weakest tribe leader and jumped on to him. "We are expecting you to make that move." A huge azure coloured fox revealed an evil grin and at the same time, all the other huge foxes jumped at the grey-furred fox. Actually, the tribe leaders didn''t require much intelligence on whom Frey would pick as his first target. So, everyone was waiting for Frey to make that move and as expected when Frey jumped at the weakest tribe leader, everyone became excited. "And I was expecting that same move from you...Grr." As for Frey, he revealed a cunning smile along with a low growl and shouted, "Lion king''s blessing...activate." As soon as Frey said those words, his huge beast body started shining with a golden light. "Oh no. This is not good." "Everyone, use your defensive moves and move away from here." All the tribe leaders were shocked when they saw Frey''s body glowing with golden light. Moreover, from Fray''sst words, everyone could guess what it was and hurriedly shouted before using their strongest defensive moves while moving as far as possible from Frey. ''Boom'' Soon, a huge explosion urred for a 10 meters radius around Frey. ''Phew.'' After the smoke from the explosion was cleared, the huge grey-furred fox fell to the ground as it returned back to his humanoid form. As for the tribe leaders, they were too close to Frey. So, even when they tried to run away, they were unable to escape from the explosion range. ''Cough'' However, except for a single tribe leader, the rest of the tribe leaders survived with severe injuries all over their bodies. "Damn you...you received a Lion King''s blessing. No wonder, you are arrogant." "So, you are working for the Lion King too." No one bothered about the dead tribe leader as all the tribe leaders also returned back to their humanoid forms as they shouted at Frey. "Looks like I only got one." As for Frey, he didn''t bother about the words of those tribe leaders as he checked for the dead tribe leaders. When he saw only one tribe leader was dead, he was a little disappointed; however, he knew he had injured all the other tribe leaders severely. "As long as those two fox tribes find out about your injuries, they will make you join me soon." Frey struggled a little to stand up from the ground as he replied to all the standing tribe leaders with a victory smile on his face. The thing is, Frey already knew that he was not going to live past the day; however, his aim was to destroy the other fox tribes as much as possible. As for the two fox tribes, Frey just mentioned were none other than the oldest fox tribes in the Western foxnds and all the 28 tribe leaders came from those two fox tribes. Even though they came from those two tribes, they were not on good terms with the fox tribes that were groomed by the summoner''s group. So, all they wanted was one opportunity to wipe all the 28 fox tribes. As for the aftermath of destroying the fox tribes from the summoner''s group, the two main tribes were not worried much because the summoner''s group itself said that they could always try to destroy those 28 fox tribes. However, the two main families didn''t attack them. It was not because they were not powerful enough to destroy a fox tribe. It is because the fight with the 28 fox tribes will cause many losses for their own tribes which might make the tribes from the Shixato wilds wipe them out. So, they were waiting for a good chance to take out all the 28 fox tribes at once. "Damn you." "I am going to kill you today." "Wait. I will not kill you that easily. I will torture you and make you beg me to kill you." When the tribe leaders heard Frey''s words, they became furious because what he said was absolutely true. Right now, if the two main fox tribes attacked them and their tribes, they would be perished without causing much damage to those families. So, they wanted to torture Frey before killing him. Also, the 100 medium-sized grey-furred foxes killed more than three foxes each which was already very good considering their situation. However, they were all killed by the other fox tribesmen. "Also, I forgot to tell you that my young tribesmen have already escaped from here." With a slight smile on his face, Frey replied to all the tribe leaders without bothering about their words. "Haha" This time, it was the tribe leaders'' turn tough after hearing Frey''s words that made Frey frown a little because he knew it was not a good thing for him. ''There is nothing for me to worry about now. My tribe is destroyed. My tribesmen are killed and the remaining ones have already escaped.'' Frey calmed his emotions and thought about what he could possibly lose now since everything is destroyed. "Tribe leader, you are still alive!" While Frey was thinking, all of a sudden, he heard a familiar voice from the distance. "Little brother?" The? moment he heard the voice, Frey looked in that direction and shouted, "Why did youe back?" The neer was none other than the grey-furred fox man to whom Frey had given the responsibility to protect the young tribesmen. "Why? Of course, I want to see you dead." The young man with grey fox ears walked towards the tribe leaders and continued speaking, "You can''t even kill a single tribe leader." The moment he reached the tribe leader, he mocked them for not killing Frey despite having so many members. "I will kill him and create a new tribe for myself and swore my loyalty to the fire base." After saying those words, the young grey fox man walked towards Frey with an evil smile on his face. "Why? Even if you wanted to kill me, why do you have to bring them back?" Frey really didn''t understand why the one whom he trusted a lot in the entire tribe betrayed him. Currently, Frey was barely standing and he was not able to move from his ce after using the Lion king''s blessing. Even at thest moments of his life, Frey only worried about the young tribesmen who were currently held hostages in some kind of barrier. "By the way, he has some ties to the Lion King from the Mountain Lion woods." All of a sudden, Frey''s so-called little brother stopped and turned back towards the tribe leaders and showed the space ring to them. "We already know that." When the tribe leaders saw that, they became furious and scoffed at him. "Haha...looks like you learned in a hard way." Frey''s little brother sarcasticallyughed and turned back towards Frey to kill him. "Now, you can go and rest, my dear tribe leader." After saying those words, he lifted his sword to kill Frey. ''Puchi'' ****** Guess what would happen next. ****** cageraymortal, thank you for the LOLLIPOP. MagnusChase2020, thank you for the BALLOON. Chapter 865: Kill everyone

Chapter 865: Kill everyone

''Puchi'' A light green-coloured fox hand that had long and sharp nails on it came out of Frey''s little brother''s chest. ''Why?'' Frey''s little brother turned his head to see who pierced through him and he was shocked to see that it was the poison fox tribe leader. ''Thud'' Before he could get any reply, he felt the ground with the same shocked look on his face wondering why he got killed in the hands of whom he thought he was working. "The mission is to kill all the grey-furred foxes. Even though you hated your tribe from the start, you are still a grey-furred fox member, right?" The poison fox tribe leader licked his hand that was covered in the grey-furred fox''s blood and replied with a scoff. "If you betrayed someone then don''t be surprised or shocked when you get betrayed." Looking at the dead body, the horned fox tribe leader scoffed. Actually, they were already pissed about getting severely injured by Frey and with Frey''s little brother''s behaviour, the Poison fox tribe leader killed him without thinking much. "Frey, before killing you, I will let you watch the death of young tribesmen from your tribe." By now, all the fighting with the grey-furred fox tribe had ended. Except for Frey and 20 young grey-furred tribesmen who looked to be around 18-20 years in age were standing in the tribe amidst the corpses of many foxes. So, one of the tribe leaders suggested killing the young tribesmen in front of Frey. "That''s exactly what I wanted to do." "Let''s show me what would happen for betraying the summoner''s group. It will even prevent other fox tribes from betraying our benefactor." All the fox tribe leaders agreed and decided to kill the young tribesmen from the grey-furred tribe. "Don''t you dare..." Even though there was no energy left in Frey, he became furious when he heard those words. "If not for the order from the fire base, these 20 young fox men would have been made into good ves. But, our bad luck is that we have to kill them." The poison tribe leader looked at the young grey-furred foxes and said to Frey. "Let''s not waste any more time and kill them first before starting the torture." The horned fox tribe leader showed an impatient look on his face because it was taking more time than he expected. Moreover, there is another mission waiting for him and if they wasted too much time, their target may getaway. "Kill them." Soon, the tribe leaders gave the order to their tribesmen to kill the 20 grey-furred tribesmen. "No. Don''t kill them." Frey tried to rush towards them; however, his body was unable to move forward as he waspletely exhausted. "Please...don''t." Finally, Frey could not hold it anymore as he started begging them. "Hey. Did you hear that?" "The proud Frey is finally begging us." "Haha..." Even though they were severely injured by Frey, when they saw he was begging them, they could not help butugh out loud. "No matter how much you beg, there is no way the grey-furred fox tribe is going to survive this ordeal." One of the tribe leaders revealed a cruel smile as he ordered, "Just kill them." "Yes." Soon, a few fox men walked towards the 20 grey-furred fox men who were imprisoned by something with evil smiles on their faces. "Tribe leader Frey, you don''t have to beg for us." "That''s right, tribe leader Frey. If there is another life, we still wish to be your disciples." As for the young tribesmen, they looked at their helpless tribe leader and asked him not to beg the other tribe leaders with faces that were covered in tears. Even though Frey was the tribe leader, every once in a while, he would take some time for the young and talented tribesmen to especially train them. So, all those 20 young fox men considered Frey as their master and when they saw that Frey was begging the tribe leaders for their sake, they could not help but cry and asked him not to do it. However, Frey continued to try to move forward while begging them to not kill the young tribesmen. As for the other tribesmen, they didn''t stop walking forward and by the time they reached the young tribesmen, they revealed their sharp ws to kill them. "No" Frey could not watch the scene as he shouted as loudly as possible before rushing towards one of the tribe leaders to kill him. "You can''t even scratch me in your current state." That fox tribe leader stopped Frey with a single hand and forced Frey to watch his young tribesmen. ''Why is this happening?'' ''Where did I do wrong?'' ''I never went against the rules of the fire base.'' ''Never missed a mandatory mission from the fire base except for once.'' ''Did they find out about it?'' ''No, it is impossible because it was a very minor thing and no one knows, including my own tribesmen.'' Frey recalled what he had done wrong in the past that made his tribe get destroyed and thest few surviving young tribesmen were about to be killed. ''If I have another chance, I will definitely take revenge against the Fire base and the Summoner''s group.'' Frey knew it was impossible for him to survive; however, he prayed to the heavens to give him a chance to take revenge on the Summoner''s group. "Now, die." The 20 tribesmen from different tribes raised their hands to kill the young grey-furred tribesmen. "Time halt." All of a sudden, everyone heard a loud voice from the distance and within the next second, all they noticed was the 20 tribesmen who were going to kill the 20 young grey-furred tribesmen who fell to the ground lying in their own pool of blood. ''What?'' Frey, the tribe leaders and all the tribesmen were shocked to see the death of 20 tribesmen; however, they didn''t know how they were dead. ''What happened?'' ''I didn''t even close my eyes for a second and they were killed?'' ''Everyone be careful, there is someone here.'' All the tribe leaders felt a bad premonition in their hearts because even they were unable to see who killed their 20 tribesmen. So, they hurriedly warned everyone to be careful. After hearing their tribe leader''s words, everyone became careful and checked their surroundings. "Everyone, look into the sky." All of a sudden, one of the fox tribesmen noticed there was something in the sky and hurriedly shouted at everyone to check the sky. ''Sky?'' Everyone including the tribe leaders and Frey hurriedly looked into the sky only to see there was three hundred bird tribesmen flying in the sky and some of them were carrying some elemental spirits. "Bird tribesmen?" All the tribe leaders frowned and became a little anxious for a moment because they were currently injured and they could not use their full powers. However, after seeing that there were only three hundred birdmen, their anxiety disappeared without a trace. "Kill everyone. Don''t spare a single one of them." While they were feeling rxed, they heard a young human say those words. Chapter 866: Elemental spirits versus Fox tribesmen

Chapter 866: Elemental spirits versus Fox tribesmen

''Swoosh'' Soon, all the elemental spirits jumped down from the sky after Ajax''s orders. "Everyone, fight." As soon as they heard Ajax''s words, the fox tribe leaders on the ground also ordered their tribesmen to fight the iing elemental spirits. ''Why would the bird tribes from the Shixato tribese here to fight us?'' This was the question for all the fox tribe leaders because they still didn''t understand why? They were very sure they didn''te to rescue the grey-furred fox tribe because when Frey saw Ajax and others, he was equally shocked with them. ''Anyway, there are only a few of them.'' Nevertheless, none of the tribe leaders was worried about the elemental spirits and 300 bird tribesmen because they have more than 100000 members to fight. ''But why would a summoner join hands with them?'' Also, there were other doubts in the heads of the fox tribe leaders because they still didn''t understand why would a summoner join hands with the three tribes in the Shixato wilds. ''Unless he conquered the three tribes.'' Looking at Ajax, all the fox tribe leaders were having a hard time believing what they had just thought in their heads. In their eyes, Ajax was just a level 2 general realm cultivator. No matter how abnormal summoner he was, he could not have many elemental spirits that could fight against the 27 fox tribes at once. ''Wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, a few tribe leaders noticed something and asked other tribe leaders in the voice transmission, ''Is he the one who Master Red wanted to kill?'' ording to the orders from the fire base, they have to kill two young men who were both summoners and their location was Shixato wilds. And Ajax matches the description pretty well. So, all the tribe leaders concluded that Ajax was their target. ''It looks like our luck is good today. Before he could search for the target, the target itself came looking for us.'' Soon, all the tribe leaders became excited and watched the fight between the elemental spirits and their tribesmen. ''Why is he helping me?'' Frey, who was looking at Ajaxm silently thought in his head. The reason why everyone was able to conclude Ajax as the leader was because it was very obvious for the tribe leaders that he was the only human in the group who could summon the elemental spirits. ''Huh? Ghost fox tribe leader?'' Soon, Frey''s eyesnded and weakly raised his brows. ''So, he is the reason.'' ''Thud'' All of a sudden, a slight smile appeared on Frey''s face as he closed his eyes and fell to the ground. ''Let''s see how many fox tribesmen my elemental spirits can kill before they need some help.'' As for Ajax, he was watching the battle on the ground from the sky with an interesting look on his face. He didn''t use his abyssal beast god bloodline and at the same time, he ordered his elemental spirits who learned the elementalws not to use them until he gave the signal. ''If I use the full power at once, the tribe leaders will escape from here and I will have to catch them which is additional work. So, why don''t I give them hope that they can kill me and my elemental spirits.'' With thoughts like that, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he watched everything that was happening on the ground. ''Fire asteroids.'' Volcanis used his ''area of effect'' skill to kill more than 30 fox tribesmen before they could notice the asteroids. Also, that skill severely injured hundreds of surrounding fox tribesmen. ''I was able to kill more than 30 in a single move. It is not enough.'' Even with the damage, he did to the fox tribes, Volcanis was not satisfied. ''Only if I can use the elementalw, I can kill many more in a single move.'' Looking at the severely injured fox men, Volcanis muttered to himself. ording to Ajax, all the elemental spirits should kill their enemies within three moves and if it is possible, they should kill them in a single move. However, at the same time, Ajax ordered them not to use their elementalws until he gave a single. ''Volcanis, be patient. If you use the elementalws now, then you will kill the tribe leaders and their powerful subordinates?'' While Volcanis was thinking that he should use the elementalw to finish the battle as soon as possible, he received a voice transmission from Ajax that made him reveal a bitter smile on his face. ''Sorry, summoning master. I will do as you say.'' Volcanise apologized to Ajax as soon as possible before rushing towards the fox tribesmen to kill them in a single move. ''Five elemental poison, do your thing.'' As for Bane, he maintained a calm and cool look on his face as he didn''t use any of his skill; instead, he used his weapon the ''Five elemental poison.'' Wherever the five elemental poison orb goes, it would poison all the fox tribesmen except for poison tribe fox members to death. ''Weapons formation'' Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit''s fighting style was also simr to Bane. He stood in a single ce and created more than 1000 lightning weapons and he didn''t bother to upgrade or enchant them because he felt it would be overkill for the fox tribesmen. That''s right! In the entire army of more than 100000 fox tribesmen from the 27 fox tribes, more than 50 percent of them were general realm fox men and 40 percent of them were below general realm and the remaining 10 percent of them were elite general realm fox men. So, Cerauno only used the most basic skill against the fox tribesmen. ''Undead summons,e out.'' Necros didn''t hesitate to summon his undead warriors. Currently, he had five undead warriors and all of them have the same cultivation and that was level 1 elite general realm. A few levels less than Necros'' cultivation. ''Let''s see how my new skill works.'' Before giving orders to his undead warriors, Necros got an idea to use his new skill. ''Undead intelligence'' As soon as he thought about it, he didn''t think much before using his newest skill. ''Shiing'' All of a sudden, the five undead warriors which were waiting for their master''s orders raised their heads a little and all the fox tribesmen noticed that their eyes shone with a bright light. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' Before Necors could give any orders for them, all five undead warriors started fighting the iing fox tribes. ''Huh? Their fighting style looks a little simr to Volcanis.'' Necros was satisfied with his undead warriors; however, soon, he noticed that the fighting waspletely different from their past fights and it looked a little simr to Volcanis'' fighting style. ''You have to kill them in three attacks and if possible try to kill them in a single attack.'' Nevertheless, Necros didn''t bother about it as he gave the same order he got from Ajax. ''Good...everything is going smoothly.'' As for Ajax, he was satisfied with his elemental spirit as he listened to the system notifications rang in his head with an ear to ear smile on his face. ***** Chris_Edwards_0431, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 867: I am Rich

Chapter 867: ''I am Rich''

''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 100 general realm fox tribesmen in a single move. Gained 1000 spirit points. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 30 elite general realm fox tribesmen below level 9 within a single move. Gained 600 spirit points. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 5 general realm fox tribesmen. Gained 500 spirit points. . . . . ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 1000 general realm fox tribesmen in two moves. Gained 5000 spirit points. . . . The system notifications continuously rang in his head and each one of them made him excited. ''Holy heavens...I am rich...I am rich.'' Ajax was excited when he saw how many spirit points he was getting in each system notification. Even though his elemental spirits could kill everyone in a single move; however, they could not stop the other fox tribesmen to be within a range for the elemental spirits that made them injure a little. So, the system considered that the elemental spirits used two moves sometimes. However, when he saw the iing spirit points, Ajax was not worried much and allowed his elemental spirits to use only basic skills for now. ''ris and Novis,e here. Let me give you some boost.'' Soon, Ajax called the two weakest elemental spirits in the arsenal. ''Yes, summoning master.'' ris and Novis were not participating in the battle because earlier Ajax asked them to not and wait until some time. So, as soon as Ajax called them, they asked the birdmen who were carrying them to fly towards Ajax. ¡­.. On the ground, the elemental spirits didn''t stop killing the fox tribesmen. They tried their best to kill as many fox tribesmen in a single attack. As for why their summoning master wanted them to kill them within three moves, they didn''t care. Since their summoning master was not asking too much from them. So, they executed it without asking him. ''Roar'' ''Growl'' ''Munch'' ''Kacha'' Nite, the beast and dark dual-type elemental spirit, transformed into a huge wolf beast and directly munched on the general realm fox tribesmen. ''Magical dark vines.'' Ajax''s second official elemental spirit, Darbus summoned hundreds of vines. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' Those vines binded hundred fox men and absorbed the energy from their bodies. ''Sand dunes'' it, the earth elemental spirit created many sand dunes which sucked many fox tribesmen into it. ''Assasin mode'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' As for the assassin elemental spirit, Zen, he activated one of his skills and transformed into a perfect assassin before turning into a ray of ck light as he killed the fox tribesmen in his way. ''This is the first time I have ever felt this good.'' After killing more than 100 fox tribesmen within a few moments, Zen came to a stop to take a small breath while looking at the trail of bodies he left behind and became excited. Even though his previous owner made him fight others once in a while, this was the first time that he could kill anyone he wanted. Basically, the assassin elemental spirit likes to kill; however, Zen knew that he should not kill if it is not necessary; otherwise, he would be in big trouble. ''Anyway, I have to kill at least 10000 fox tribesmen today.'' Zen selected his next path and kept a target for himself to kill before rushing towards the path he selected earlier. ''Fire spear'' ''Fireball.'' Ignis, the fire elemental spirit that became powerful a couple of hours ago, used the most basic skills to kill the fox tribesmen. Unlike other elemental spirits, he was choosing only a single target before killing them. Even though Ignis'' killing speed was low, he was killing the fox tribesmen in a single move and helped Ajax get more and more spirit points. ''Blood clones'' ''Blood refining'' As for Blood, the blood elemental spirit, he revealed an eerie smile on his face as he looked at the four blood elemental spirits that looked exactly like him, in front of him. They were the blood clones that had the same strength as him. Moreover, the reason why he was revealing an eerie smile was because of the blood that was entering into his body from the dead fox tribesmen. ''Kacha'' Even before a minute had passed, a crisp sound came from Blood''s body that made him smile even more. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirit Blood for breaking through into level 3 elemental spirit. At the same time, Ajax got a system notification that made him reveal a slight smile too. However, he had already expected it. So, he was not surprised much. As for the other general realm elemental spirits like Haze, Neig, Floris and so on, they were taking care of the fox tribesmen below the general realm and while keeping an eye on the general realm fox tribesmen. Ajax had already given an order that the enemies below the general realm can be killed in any number of moves. So, those elemental spirits were not thinking much and focused only on killing the fox tribes. ''Damn it.'' ''It''s been not even 10 minutes and his elemental spirits killed more than 10 percent of our army.'' ''Our tribesmen are very weak in front of them.'' ''It looks like we have to enter the battle yourselves.'' Seeing that the fight was not going in their face, all the fox tribe leaders cursed before entering the battle to fight the strongest elemental spirits like Necros, Cerauno, Bane, Ignis and Volcanis.'' For some reason, the tribe leader feels that those five are very dangerous. So, they wanted to kill them first before killing the other elemental spirits. Even though Zen has simr cultivation to those five elemental spirits, the tribe leaders were not worried and allowed their subordinates to take care of him. ''Don''t kill the tribe leaders and dodge their attacks without attacking them.'' With ris and Novis beside them, Ajax ordered his five strongest elemental spirits to y with the tribe leaders. The reason he said that because the moment four of these elemental spirits show their elementalws, the tribe leaders will directly give the order to their tribesmen to escape from there. Ajax didn''t want that and asked his elemental spirits to y along with them for a some time until most of the fox tribesmen were killed. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Even though the elemental spirits didn''t expect that they could y for long with the tribe leaders without using their elementalws, they wanted to try their best and assumed it was like training from their summoner. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Just as they were ready to take the fox tribe leaders head-on, all five elemental spirits felt the power surging through them. ''Thanks, summoning master.'' They knew where the power inside them wasing from and hurriedly thanked Ajax before looking at the iing fox tribe leaders with excited looks on their faces. Because of the bloodline, all their battle prowess was increased by three times. So, they felt they could stall for some time until the other elemental spirits killed the rest of the fox tribesmen. Soon, the battle between five elemental spirits and twenty 27 fox tribe leaders had started. *** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 868: Planning to buy more elemental paradises

Chapter 868: nning to buy more elemental paradises

In the sky above the grey-furred fox tribe. ''Since I am rich now, I will spend some spirit points in the ''Elemental spirit points''.'' While the five of his strongest elemental spirits were fighting the 27 fox tribe leaders, Ajax was overwhelmed with the number of system notifications he was getting and decided to spend some spirit points. As for what he wanted to spend on, Ajax had along decided and that was the reason why he asked ris and Novis toe towards him earlier. Other than the battle between the five strongest elemental spirits and the fox tribes, all the elemental spirits received a boost from Ajax''s bloodline and their fight became much easier. Even though they werepletely surrounded by the fox tribesmen, the elemental spirits were killing the fox tribesmen in a frenzy. As everything was going ording to his n, Ajax stopped looking at the battle and focused on the elemental spirit store. Nevertheless, he was not worried about the safety of any of his elemental spirits because the strongest elemental spirits have learned the elementalws and as for the elemental spirit below the elite general realm, the bird tribesmen were keeping an eye on them in separate teams. Most importantly, Ajax didn''t summon Halo and Prophis out because he didn''t want to scare the hell out of the tribe leaders from the beginning itself. ''System, give me two general realm water elemental spirit stones.'' Soon, he bought the two elemental spirit stones from the elemental spirit store. ''Ding, Consumed 200 spirit points. ''Ding, Two general realm water elemental spirit stones are credited into the host''s inventory. As soon as he asked the system, he got the system notifications regarding his purchase. Since ris and Novis are water elemental spirits, he bought simr elemental spirit stones because the universal elemental spirit stones cost morepared to the regr elemental spirit stone. Ajax didn''t think much about the difference between the universal elemental spirit stone and the regr elemental spirit stone because he already knows that the usage of the universal elemental spirit stones could be used by any elemental spirit; however, in the elemental spirit stone, the price for it was five times more than the price of a regr elemental spirit stone. ''I wonder, why is it priced so much without any special effects in it?'' Ajax felt it was weird for the vast difference between the two elemental spirit stones without any good effects in the universal elemental spirit stone. Even though the universal elemental spirit stone can be used by any elemental spirit, Ajax had ess to buy other elemental spirit stones. So, he felt there was no need for pricing the universal elemental spirit stone in the elemental spirit store. ''ris and Novis, these are for you.'' Anyway, Ajax kept his thoughts on it and took out the two general realm elemental spirit stones from the inventory before giving his two weakest elemental spirits. That''s right! Among all the elemental spirits under Ajax, ris and Novis only have the cultivation of the elitemander realm. So, the moment he had the spirit points, he decided to increase their cultivation first and then think about something else. ''General realm stones?'' Both the elemental spirits were surprised when they caught the elemental spirit stones and hurriedly thanked Ajax before crushing those stones. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the water elemental energy came out of those stones as it entered into their bodies. ''What should I buy next?'' While the process of break through to the general realm was going on, Ajax started thinking about what he had to buy next for his elemental spirits. ''I can buy elite general realm spirit stones.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax started checking the items avable in the elemental spirit store. The first thing he thought to buy was the elemental spirit stones and not a low-level one but a high-level one which was an elite general realm elemental spirit stone. Because almost all his elemental spirits were in the general realm, Ajax thought to buy the elite general realm elemental spirit stones for them. ''I think I should better buy the Paradise upgrade stones.'' However, Ajax quickly pushed his earlier idea aside because he knew he would be wasting so many elemental spirit stones during the process of breaking through into the elite general realm from the general realm. Since the elemental spirit stones don''t give 100 percent sess now, Ajax kept the thought of buying the elite general realm elemental spirit stones aside and focused on upgrading the elemental paradises. ''Ding, The process to break through into the general realm failed for ris. ''Ding, The process to break through into the general realm failed for Novis. While Ajax was thinking about what he had to buy next, he heard the two system notifications, which made his mood a little annoyed. ''What the hell!'' Ajax was definitely not happy with the failure; however, he tried his best not to show on his face because the elemental spirits might think that they were wasting their summoning master''s cultivation resources. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 1000 general realm fox tribesmen in a single move. Gained 10000 spirit points. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirits killed 200 elite general realm fox tribesmen below level 9 within a single move. Gained 4000 spirit points. . . . ''It''s just 200 spirit points that were wasted. It''s not a big deal.'' Moreover, it is just 200 spirit points. So, Ajax didn''t feel much when he saw the series of system notifications that were ringing in his head. ''System, give me two more elemental spirit stones.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax asked for another two elemental spirit stones and threw them at his two water elemental spirits which were frustrated at themselves for failing. Because until now, not a single elemental spirit in Ajax''s arsenal failed while using the general realm elemental spirit stone or below. ''Thank you, summoning master for your support.'' Actually, the two elemental spirits thought Ajax would scold them for their failure; however, they were surprised to see that Ajax gave them two more elemental spirit stones, making their hearts warm. They thanked Ajax from the bottom of their hearts and decided to show that all the cultivation resources their master was spending on them were worth it. As for Ajax, he just nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and once again focused on the elemental spirit store. ''Kacha'' The elemental spirits didn''t waste any time as they crushed the elemental spirit stones in their hands and repeated the process. ''That''s it. I will buy the elemental paradises first because it will be useful for my contracted spirit beasts too and then upgrade them using the Paradise upgrade stones.'' After thinking for a while, finally, Ajax decided to buy some new elemental paradise for his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Even though he had many elemental paradises in his inner world, there were still many elemental spirits who didn''t have their own elemental paradise. Moreover, the prices for the elemental paradises were very cheap. So, Ajax thought it was best to buy more elemental paradises for his summons. Chapter 869: Elemental Spirits uses their Elemental Laws

Chapter 869: Elemental Spirits uses their Elemental Laws

''System, I want an elemental paradise for each of my elemental spirits. Start constructing them in my inner world.'' As soon as he came to a decision, Ajax ordered the system to buy the elemental paradises for all his elemental spirits. ''Ding, Checking the elemental paradises for all the elemental spirits of the host. ''Ding, The hosts currently don''t have elemental paradises belonging to the following elements. Blood, Haze, Neig, Floris, Septon, Lumin, Wind, ''Ding, Are you sure you want to buy all the elemental paradises belonging to these elements? After hearing his order, the system checked what elemental paradises Ajax needed the most. So, it asked whether he was sure about buying them all. ''Of course.'' Ajax nodded his head to the system''s question. ''Ding, Six auxiliary elemental paradises cost 1200 spirit points. One regr elemental paradise cost 100 spirit points. ''Ding, Deducted 1300 spirit points from the host''s store ount. ''Ding, The construction of the elemental paradises took more than one day because there were too many elemental paradises to build. So, the system suggests the host be patient. As soon as he gave permission for the system to buy the elemental paradises, Ajax''s head received a series of system notifications. ''I can wait 24 hours.'' In Ajax''s view, 24 hours of time for seven elemental paradises was not much. So, he thought he could wait. ''Anyway, now I have to buy the elemental paradises for the elemental spirits that have the same elements.'' Soon, Ajax came to the next step of n in his shopping and focused on buying more elemental paradises. ''Buy.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax gave the system another list of elemental paradises to buy from the elemental spirit store. ''Ding, Extra elemental paradises for elements, Fire, water, earth, Dark (three) will cost 600 spirit points. ''Ding, The construction of the elemental paradise will take more than 24 hours just like the earlier elemental paradises. Please wait. ''Now, each elemental spirit has its own elemental paradise.'' After seeing the series of system notifications in front of him, Ajax revealed an excited smile and looked at the spirit points in the elemental spirit stone. ''112323'' ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax was shocked to see so many spirit points in his ount and became very happy. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s elemental spirits ris and Novis for sessfully entering into the general realm. Just as Ajax was feeling happy, he received another system notification that made him feel like today was a great day. Nevertheless, he didn''t say much to the two elemental spirits except for revealing a slight smile on his face. ''I will do a massive amount of shopping afterpleting this mission.'' Even though he had many spirit points, Ajax postponed his shopping to another day because wanted a calm environment to focus on what he needed to buy from the elemental spirit store. Although he knew he had to buy the elite general realm elemental spirit stones, their chances of failure were very high and Ajax wanted to have a calm environment so that the elemental spirit''s chances of breaking through would increase a little. ''In the past, I had to wait to have the spirit points and now, I am still waiting to spend when I have more than 100000 spirit points.'' Ajax joked to himself as he focused on the battle on the ground. On the battlefield, more than 50 percent of the fox tribesmen were killed and the elemental spirits looked a little tired; however, Ajax knew they could fight for some more time. However, his five strongest elemental spirits who were fighting the fox tribesmen were not in a good state. ''It looks like I have to finish this battle soon.'' Seeing that, Ajax felt that his elemental spirit didn''t need to hold back anytime and ordered his elemental spirits, ''Use your elementalws.'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' As soon as they heard Ajax''s words, Volcanic and the other four elemental spirits became excited and nodded their heads. ''Penta, make sure that none of the tribe leaders escapes.'' After giving his order to the elemental spirits, Ajax gave another order to his five elemental spirit beasts. Ajax wanted none of the fox tribesmen to escape from there because it would do him no good if the enemy came back for revenge. ''You keep your eyes on the fox tribesmen that were trying to escape.'' These words were directed towards the three bird tribesmen and Ajax''s three contracted spirit beasts. ''Yes, master.'' Everyone nodded their heads. The bird tribesmen helped his elemental spirit when they were sneak attacked by the fox tribesmen and this happened more than once for each elemental spirit. So, Ajax felt he made the right decision to bring the bird tribesmen with him to support the elemental spirits. As for the fight between the strongest elemental spirits and the tribe leaders, as soon as they received Ajax''s orders, they directly used their elementalws. ''Lightning fire'' The mes on Ignis'' body increased after he activated his elementalw and the most important thing was there were many lightning sparks within those mes. ''Thunderw'' As for Cerauno, his eyes were filled with lightning spark and his body was covered with lightning arcs. Moreover, the sky above him started rumbling as though a heavy storm was about to hit them soon. ''Undead merge'' ''Break'' ''Undead intelligence.'' Necros was not lucky enough to learn an elemental spirit yet; however, because of his invincible skill after cancelling his ''Undead merge'' skill, Ajax didn''t worry about Necross fighting the tribe leaders without any elementalw. ''Fire Haven of flying swords and floating swords.'' Compared to the other elemental spirits, Volcanis'' elementalw seemed powerful because he waspletely covered with many flying swords and floating mastering within his 10 meters radius. "What?" "They learned elementalws?" "How is this possible?" "They didn''t even reach level 5 elite general realm?" "Everyone, escape. We can''t win against them." As soon as the tribe leaders saw that the elemental spirits in front of them had already learned the elementalws, they didn''t bother about their dignity or anything else before warning their own tribesmen to escape. At the same time, they also choose to escape because there was no chance they would win against someone who learned an elementalw. "Where are you running off to?" Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit, rose to the sky and with a wave of his hands, he created thousands of weapons made up of lightning sparks. "Merge." Looking at the running tribe leaders, Cerauno merged the thousands of lightning weapons hovering in front of him into 10 lightning spears. "Go." Without wasting any time, with a wave, he sent all ten lightning spears towards 10 tribe leaders. Even though he could merge those weapons into more than ten weapons, Cerauno was not confident enough that if he created more than 10 lightning weapons, their power would not be enough to kill the tribe leaders. ''No no no.'' ''I don''t want to die yet.'' ''Someone, call the fire base and inform them that we need help.'' ''The lightning spear ising after me. I am not confident in dodging it.'' The 10 tribe leaders whom Cerauno chose were running for their life while shouting like maniacs. **** No gifts. Chapter 870: An Effortless Win

Chapter 870: An Effortless Win

''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' The ten lightning spears were so fast that before the tribe leaders could run more than 200 meters, the spears pierced through them. ''Thud'' All ten fox tribe leaders fell to the ground with faces full of horror. At the same time when Cerauno was releasing the lightning spears, the other elemental spirits were not standing idly and they were using their own powerful skill. ''Blind'' Necros selected half a dozen of tribe leaders and blocked their senses which made those six tribe leaders fall to the ground. Since they were not expecting an attack like ''Blind'' from Necros and they were only focused on running away. So, the skill was very effective just like how Cerauno''s lightning spears instantly killed the ten tribe leaders. If the tribe leaders had stopped and tried their best to fight against the elemental spirits, they might havested much longer. Because of the severe injuries they received from Frey, they would not have run for their lives; instead, they would have fought against the elemental spirits. ''Annihtion'' Seeing that the six tribe leaders had fallen to the ground, Ignis jumped into the middle of those six tribe leaders and used the skill he got from learning the elementalw. ''Boom'' There was a huge st covering those six tribe leaders including Ignis. After the smoke cleared, except for Ignis, there was just a bunch of ash that was cleared by the wind. ''Nice.'' Necros revealed an eerie smile as he said to Ignis. ''Hehe.'' Ignis revealed a slight smile on his face as he checked for the other tribe leaders. "Floating Asteroids." "Flying swords." Compared to the other skills, Volcanis was much calmer as he selected 10 targets of his own. He sent the huge rocks to his left and the powerful flying swords to his right. ''Five on the left and five on the right.'' Volcanis didn''t even bother to look at his targets because he was very sure that they would never miss unless the target had his own elementalw. ''Puchi'' ''sh'' ''Rumble'' ''sh'' ''Boom'' Just as Volcanis turned back and was thinking to help the other elemental spirits in killing the fox tribesmen, a huge explosion came from the tribe leaders he had chosen. ''Looks like I escaped.'' Among the 28 tribe leaders, Frey was unconscious and 26 tribe leaders were killed by Volcanis, Ignis, Necros and Cerauno. However, one of the fox tribes leaders sessfully ran more than three kilometers before stopping to turn back to look at the battle in the distance. ''I need to inform the fire base about it.'' That lucky fox tribe leader was none other than the poison fox tribe leader and the moment he felt he was in a safe location, he decided to inform the fire base because he knew he could not run away from the elemental spirits and the Ajax forever. "It looks like the poisonous beings are very hard to kill." Just as he was thinking of using the formation te to contact the fire base, the poison fox tribe leader heard a low voice beside his ears. ''Huh?'' The posion fox became alert and unconsciously released the most deadly poisonous attack on his attacker who was staning right next to him. The attack was releasing poisonous needles from his back. "Aargh" The elemental spirit behind the poison fox tribe leader fell to the ground while groaning in pain. "You made a mistake by standing next to me even when you know I am a poison fox. I have never seen a fool like you." Even though the poison fox was injured, the poison on the poisonous needles he used to attack the elemental spirit behind him didn''t lose its efficiency. So, he was proud that he sessfully injected the poison needles into the elemental spirit that appeared behind him. "I thought your poison might help me be a little stronger; however, it is just worthless for me." While the poison fox tribe leader was feeling excited about being able to take down an elemental spirit, he heard the elemental spirit stand up from the ground while removing the poisonous needles from his body. ''What?'' Poison fox was shocked to see that the most poisonous attack of his didn''t harm the elemental spirit in front of him. "You look surprised?" Bane walked towards the poison fox tribe as he replied back with a scoff. That''s right! Among the five strongest elemental spirits that were tasked to fight the fox tribe leaders, Bane was chasing the strongest tribe leader and it was, of course, the poison fox tribe leader. Bane wanted to see whether the poison fox''s poison could help him in increasing his cultivation because that is how he has to increase his cultivation. However, who would have thought that Bane had to endure the needle''s pain just for nothing. "But you are just a level 3 elite general real poison elemental spirit and my poison could even kill the peak elite general realm cultivators." The poison fox tribe leader was really shocked at how Bane was able to stand even after taking his poison. If Bane had learned a poison elementalw, the poison fox tribe leader would have not surprised; however, Bane didn''t learn any elementalw. "It is my little secret." When Bane heard those words, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "You can die without knowing how I am okay even after your poison enters my body." ''sh'' As soon as he finished his words, a long scythe appeared in Bane''s hand as he separated the heat from the poison fox tribe leader''s body. ''Thud'' In a single attack, the poison fox tribe leader, without knowing an answer to his question, died with his head chopped off. Back at the destroyed grey-furred fox tribe, the fox tribesmen were getting killed after Volcanis and other strongest elemental spirits joined the fight. Without the help of the tribe leaders, all the tribesmen lost their morale and started running in various directions without any idea where they were running to. However, because of that, the elemental spirits were having an even more easy time. ''I am d that they finished the fight without any internal fighting.'' As for Ajax, he was satisfied with how his strongest elemental spirits handled the fight with the tribe leaders without any internal fight. That''s right! Even though they were from the same side, the elemental spirits might fight themselves to show that they were more powerful than other elemental spirits and want to take on stronger opponents. However, Ajax felt happy for no internal fighting amongst his elemental spirits. ''Prophis and Halo, do your thing now.'' Soon, he summoned the two elemental spirits that he had kept inside his inner world for a while. "Yes, summoning master." Soon, two elemental spirits appeared beside Ajax and nodded their heads. One was shining with gold colour all over his body and the other waspletely in ck colour with small dots inside his body indicating he was a space elemental spirit. Ajax wanted these two elemental spirits to best because they could controlrge areas in their attacks to finish the fight as soon as possible after the tribe leaders were killed. *** KingRig, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Chapter 871: Lifespan absorber

Chapter 871: Lifespan absorber

In the fire base''s control chamber. ''Huh?'' ''What is happening? Why am I unable to see anything happening in the surroundings of the grey-furred fox tribe?'' The deputy of the fire base frowned when he saw that there were no visualsing from the grey-furred fox tribe. He was enjoying the destruction of the grey-furred fox tribe by the 27 fox tribes groomed by the fire base; however, just when the grey-furred fox tribe''s young tribesmen were about to be killed, the disy went ck making the deputy leader frown. Soon, he checked the visuals transmitted from the other ces in the Western foxnds and they were working as usual. ''Is someone tampering with the formationsid around the grey-furred fox tribe?'' The deputy leader controlled his anger and thought for a moment beforeing to a conclusion. ''Damn it.'' When that thought came to his mind, the deputy leader cursed to himself as he stood up from the chair. "I am leaving now. Ask the one who is in charge of this seat toe back and keep on monitoring it properly." After saying those words to the young man beside him, the deputy leader of the fire base left the control chamber without staying back. Since there was no fun in staying in the control chamber any longer, the deputy leader didn''t bother with the Western foxnds battle. As for entering the five elemental world, there was no way he would enter it because someone killed the powerful Master Red and the deputy was not even a king realm cultivator. So, he didn''t want to take any chances and left that thing to Master Green and Master Brown who would in a month. "Yes, deputy leader." The young man nodded his head and informed the original monitor of the Five elemental world. ...¡­ In the Western foxnds, ''Time Halt.'' ''Dimensional de'' As soon as Ajax summoned his two rare elemental spirits, Halo and Prophis, they used only a single skill each that basically killed almost everyone. Time halt could stop everyone below the king''s realm; however, if the beings are stronger than Halo, the effect to freeze them would be decreased. Currently, Halo is still a general realm elemental spirit. So, the effect of his skill would be very less on the fox tribe leaders and it would be more than the beings below the elite general realm. As for the Dimensional de, it was one of the powerful skills of Prophis that could cover more than 100 meters. With thebination of both skills, the fox tribesmen in the 100 meters were killed in an instant. ''Holy heavens.'' When Ajax looked at the huge dimension de, he was shocked and felt it would be quite useful when fighting against huge armies. ''Spatial maniption'' ''Lifespan absorb.'' Once again, both the elemental spirits used their other skills. This time, because of Prophis'' skill, all the fox tribesmen within 50 meters were distorted and died with irregr space. As for Halo, he was hovering in the mid-air as golden-coloured energy starteding out of the fox tribesmen who were in a 10 meters radius around him. ''Huh?'' Ajax focused on those fox tribesmen and he was once again shocked by what he had seen. All the fox tribesmen in a 10 meters radius around him started ageing at an incredible speed and within less than 10 seconds, everyone became old and fell to the ground. Even then, the time elemental spirit didn''t stop absorbing the energy from them as it continued to suck them dry. Soon, all the fox tribesmen who were within range were turned into bones before turning into dust and disappeared into nothingness. ''No wonder, Space and time elemental spirits are always powerful and feared by everyone.'' Ajax felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw the attacks of those two elemental spirits. ''Thinking about Halo''s skills, I have never checked after he entered into the general realm, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax was curious about Halos'' skills and decided to check them. As for Prophis'' skills, Aja had already checked. So, he was not checking them again. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Halo Element type:- Time Cultivation:- Level 5 general realm. Skills:- Time Halt (level 5), Lifespan absorber (level 4), Lifespan blessing (level 3), yback (level 2), Timeline hypnosis (level 1) Soon, theplete information about the time elemental spirit appeared in front of Ajax. ''What?'' Before he could check the skills, Ajax was shocked to see the cultivation of the time elemental spirit because he didn''t expect the elemental spirit to reach level 5 already. Ajax used the elemental spirit stones to increase Halo''s cultivation from level 1 soldier realm to level 1 general realm; however, it only took Halo a few days to reach level 5 general realm. ''Even with the grade 1 time elemental paradise, it is impossible to increase the cultivation of an elemental spirit within such a short time.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he thought, ''I should check the skills to see whether Halo has any skills that could improve his cultivation.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax focused on the skill information of each skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Time Halt (level 5) Effect:- The time around the elemental spirit will be stopped for one minute. Note:- The higher the cultivation of the enemy, the lower the skill''s effect. ''I know it.'' Ajax nodded his head as he continued checking the information on the other skills. ''Ding, Skill Name:- Lifespan absorber (level 4) Effect:- When the skill is used, the elemental spirit can absorb the lifespan from its enemies within a specific range. Note:- Less range will speed up the absorption process. ''Ding, Skill name:- Life span blessing (level 3) (Passive) Effect:- The energy gained from the skill ''Lifespan absorber'' can be used in two ways. Using on the elemental spirit himself to increase his cultivation. Using on the other beings to increase their cultivation. Note:- Using on himself is the best thing to do because it would increase his cultivation more whenpared to using the same amount on others. ''Oh. This is it. Because of these two skills, his cultivation increased to level 5 general realm within such a short time.'' By the time he read the information on the third skill, Ajax understood how Halo''s cultivation increased in such a short time. ''These are very good skills.'' Ajax didn''t know about other summoners, but for him, who is going to destroy evil worlds, Halo having those skills is a good thing for him. So, he felt they were good skills and continued to see the information on thest two skills. ''Summoning master, what do you want to do with these grey-furred fox tribesmen?'' Just as he was about to check the information on thest two skills, Volcanic sent a voice transmission to Ajax. ''Hmm.'' Ajax looked at Volcanis who was standing beside the 21 grey-furred foxes. All 20 young fox tribesmen were worriedly surrounding Frey to protect him from the elemental spirits despite seeing how powerful the elemental spirits were. Hearing Volcanis voice, Ajax started thinking about what he had to do with him. **** No gifts today... Chapter 872: Three missions comes to an end

Chapter 872: Three missionses to an end

"I will leave that to Uncle Errol." After thinking for a moment, Ajax came to a conclusion and decided to let the ghost fox tribe leader handle the grey-furred tribesmen. "Thank you for not killing them, Ajax." The middle-aged man in ck robes who was holding the ghost fox in his hands thanked Ajax for letting the grey-furred tribesmen live. The middle-aged man was Errol, Ghost''s fox and the tribe leader of the ghost fox tribe. Earlier, when Errol saw that all other fox tribe leaders were destroying the grey-furred tribe, he asked Ajax to save them and not to kill them. As for the reason why Errol asked Ajax to do that because Errol was able to hide for many years without getting caught thanks to Frey. Even though Frey didn''t help him much, he didn''t inform others or kill Errol by himself and let him live. However, the reason why Frey didn''t kill him when he got the chance Errol didn''t have the slightest clue about it. Nevertheless, Errol felt that the destruction of the grey-furred fox tribe was because of that event. So, he asked Ajax to spare the grey-furred tribesmen and when he saw the young grey-tribesmen were about to get killed by the other fox tribesmen, he asked Ajax to save them. "No problem, Uncle Errol. You can do whatever you want to do with the grey-furred tribesmen." As for Ajax, he didn''t have any clue about why Errol asked him to save the grey-furred tribesmen; instead, he thought Uncle? Errol was going to kill them by himself. Ajax didn''t mind sacrificing some spirit points as he knew Errol had to give closure to his revenge against the fox tribesmen who destroyed his tribe. ''What?'' However, when he saw that Errol didn''t have any intentions of harming Frey and others, he was surprised for a moment. ''Looks like the grey-furred fox tribe was not the enemy.'' Ajax silently thought and watched Errol put some high-level healing pills into Frey''s mouth. ''Anyway, I will check the information on thest two skills.'' Ajax didn''t think much about the grey-furred fox tribesmen and focused on Halo''sst two skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- yback (level 2) Effect:- It helps the elemental spirit to go back into time; however, it is only limited to two seconds. ''Ding, Skill name:- Timeline hypnosis (level 1) Effect:- When it is used on an enemy, the enemy will enter into a hypnosis state which takes him back to his most regretful decision and changes it into what he wanted to do. Basically, he would happily live in a different timeline in his hypnosis state until death in his real life. Note:- Once it is used on someone, it is impossible to undo it ''Woah'' ''Two more cool skills.'' After reading the effects of the skills, Ajax was excited for sometime; however, when he thought that there were no mass-destruction skills for Halo, he was a little disappointed. ''Anyway, Halo is already powerful enough and with the support of his skills, Halo and others will benefit a lot while fighting armies or a single powerful cultivator.'' Nevertheless, Halo''s skills are perfect to support other summons. So, he didn''t think much and waited until Halo and Prophish finished their work. Without the support of the tribe leaders, the fox tribesmen didn''tst for much longer and without a few minutes, all the tribesmen were killed by the elemental spirits without any mercy. ''Ding, Spirit beast quest tab. The fox tribes who participated in the destruction of the ghost fox tribe arepletely annihted. Reward:- The host can increase the cultivation of any three rank 5 contracted spirit beasts by one rank. ''Ding, Elemental spirit quest tab. The mission ''Kill in three'' is sessfullypleted. The reward is already added to the host''s elemental spirit store ount. After his elemental spirits killed all the fox tribesmen, he received three system notifications that made him reveal an excited smile. ''Even though the elemental spirit quest tab rewarded me heavilypared to the spear beast quest tab, I like both the rewards.'' Ajax muttered to himself as hended on the ground. However, what surprised Ajax the most was the mission from the spirit beast tab waspleted with the involvement of a single contracted spirit beast. ''But, still, the contracted spirit beasts are benefiting from the work done by the elemental spirits.'' Ajax felt it was a little funny when he thought about it. ''I wonder how my elemental spirits know about it? I guess, there is no way they will find out.'' Ajax didn''t want to say that because the contracted spirit beasts were already a little angry at the elemental spirits. Keeping those thoughts aside, Ajax looked around him. On the ground, there were more than one hundred thousand corpses of the fox tribesmen; however, Ajax didn''t feel anything as he got used to the corpses after going through many battles. "Everyone, thank you for supporting my elemental spirits while they were fighting, as a result, I will be giving you 10000 spirit stones each for the members of the Fire crow and the Netherworld ice sparrow tribes." The first thing he announced afternding on the ground was the reward for the bird tribesmen. If not for them, his elemental spirits would have been severely injured or killed. Since he had an abundance of fire stones and dark spirit stones, he decided to give them some spirit stones. Moreover, for the bird tribesmen, 10000 spirit stones is a nice number which was not small and wouldst for them for some time. "As for the members of the Lightning hawk tribe, I will give you your reward after going back to your tribe." Ajax intentionally made the Lightning hawk tribe members curious regarding his reward; however, Snow already knew what Ajax was going to give to them. Since Ajax had only one type of good cultivation resource for the lightning beings which was the water from the grade 3 thunder pool. "Thank you, Master Ajax." Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t talk about it much and nodded his head at the bird tribesmen who thanked him for his rewards. ''Ding, Because of what the host has done today, most of the inhabitants of the five elemental world think the summoner is very powerful and cruel. ''Ding, Mission ''Protect the summoner''s name'' failed. ''Ding, Due to the mission failure, there would be no mission for the host for a while. All of a sudden, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him frown. ''What the hell? How did that happen?'' Ajax was shocked to see those system notifications because he didn''t expect that his mission failed. Moreover, it even mentioned that Ajax would not receive any missions from the system for a while. ''What should I have done? I thought I was supposed to destroy the fire base toplete the mission.'' Ajax felt wronged and after thinking about the mission failure, Ajax shook his head. ''Whatever, I will just go with the flow. There is no use crying over the spilled milk now.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax stopped worrying about it. "You all did very well." Soon, he spoke to the elemental spirits that were standing in front of him. **** Need some motivation... Chapter 873: Three-eyed ghost fox

Chapter 873: Three-eyed ghost fox

"Now, it is time to have a little chat with the main two tribes." After cleaning the entire battlefield, Ajax said to others. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Everyone nodded their heads and flew into the air. Upon Errol''s request, Ajax left a few bird tribesmen with the grey-furred tribesmen to help them. "Uncle Errol, can you give some details about the two main fox tribes?" While flying, Ajax asked Errol to briefly exin about his two rival tribes. In the past, there were only three main fox tribes and they were the Ghost fox tribe, the Tailed spiriti fox tribe and the Demonic fox tribe. Since Errol was the tribe leader of the Ghost fox tribe leader, Ajax wanted to gaied some information about the other two tribes. "Among our three tribes, the Tialed spirit fox tribe used to be the strongest one by an inch. As for my Ghost fox tribe and the Demonic fox tribe, we had the same strength." Soon, Errol started speaking as he exined about the strength of the three main fox tribes from the past. "Even though we three tribes didn''t like each other, we didn''t had an all out fight never in history. If you want to make your subordinates, it won''t be that easy." Errol knew what Ajax''s intentions were when he saw the entire Shixato wilds were under his control. So, he didn''t waste any time as he directly came to the main point. "Huh? Why?" When Ajax heard those words, he raised his brows for a moment before asking Errol for the reason. "The reason is unlike the fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s group, we are different." While saying those words, Errol revealed a proud look on his face as he continued. "The three main tribe leaders, elders and all the talented tribesmen would be blessed by our ancestors." "Ancestors?" Ajax was surprised for a moment as he listened to Errol''s words. "Yes. All three main tribes were protected by our ancestors'' statutes which would bless any tribesmen that contribute to the growth of the tribe." Errol thought back to the time he received the blessing from his ancestor''s statute as he closed his eyes to feel that moment. "If your tribe was protected by your ancestor''s statute, why didn''t he protect your tribe when it was destroyed by the 27 fox tribes." However, Ajax''s words made him open his eyes and at the same time, a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Actually, when the fox tribes under the summoner''s group attacked my tribe, there was no statute in my tribe." "What? What happened to it? Is it stolen by someone?" Ajax was shocked when he heard that the ancestor''s statue in the ghost fox tribe was not there at such a crucial time. So, he asked what happened to it and other rted questions at once. ''I will say that but can you promise me that you will not reveal it to my son?'' This time, Errol used the voice transmission and asked Ajax about something that made Ajax frown his brows. ''Hm'' Ajax didn''t think much as he nodded his head. Since Errol was the father of Ghost and didn''t want his son to know about it, Ajax felt there must be a reason for it. So, he nodded his head. ''As I said earlier, the ancestor''s statue only blesses the tribesmen who would contribute something to the tribe; however, in my son''s case it was different.'' As soon as Ajax nodded his head, Errol started answering Ajax''s earlier question as he continued, ''My son didn''t contribute anything; however, one day, my tribe ancestor''s statue moved from its ce for the first time and entered into my son.'' ''What?'' When Ajax heard that, he was shocked as he looked at the three-eyed ghost fox in Errol''s hands. ''What happened next?'' Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions as he asked Errol. ''The other two tribes found out about it somehow and sent teams after teams to kidnap my son. Even though my entire tribe was careful, my son used to be very yful at that time. So, he got kidnapped and after that, you know what happened.'' ''If my son finds out that because of him there was no ancestor statue to protect the tribe, he would feel guilty. So, I hope he never learns the truth about it.'' By the time he finished speaking, Errol caressed his son with a slight smile on his face. Even though his entire tribe was destroyed, Errol believes his son is the chosen one of the ghost fox tribe. Moreover, along with the ancestor''s statue in his body, Ghost is now a three-eyed ghost fox just like the ghost fox tribe''s ancestor. ''Even if I didn''t say anything about it, one day he will learn it. Until then, he will not know anything about it from me.'' Ajax shrugged and promised to not say anything to Ghost. ''So, how should I convince them to follow me? Using force will work, all the tribe, right?'' After talking about the personal details of Errol and his tribe, Ajax asked him about how he could make the other two tribes follow him. Ajax didn''t want to kill these two main fox tribes; instead, he wanted to nurture them just like how he nurtured the three tribes in the Shixato wilds. Moreover, unlike the fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s base, these three fox tribes were different as they have their own ancestor just like the tribes of the Shixato wilds. ''There are two things for you to make an entire tribe follow you.'' With a serious look on his face, Errol continued to exin, ''One, you have to challenge the current tribe leader and have to win the challenge.'' ''The first condition, I can easily finish.'' When he heard the first condition, Ajax felt it was easy because he had elemental spirits who learned elementalws. ''I doubt that.'' ''Huh?'' However, when he heard Errrol''s words, Ajax frowned and waited for an exnation from him. *** ohoud_daif, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 874: Tribe leader Deon

Chapter 874: Tribe leader Deon

"What if I say that you can''t use the elemental spirits while fighting him?" Errol didn''t use the voice transmission; instead, he directly spoke this time. "What? Isn''t that cheating?" Since Ajax is a summoner, he could use his elemental spirits in the fights because they were a part of his battle prowess. However, when he heard that he could not use any elemental spirits while fighting the tribe leader, Ajax was shocked and a little bit annoyed. "Even though your elemental spirits are a part of you, the tribe leaders would be not convinced if you use the elemental spirits to fight them." Errol shook his head as he already expected how Ajax would react after hearing his words. "But still..." "Why talk about other tribe leaders, even I will not be convinced if you challenge me and defeat me using your elemental spirits." Errol pointed his fingers to himself as he exined to Ajax. "And why is that?" After calming himself, Ajax asked the reason. "Because, in the records left by our ancestors, it was said that, we have to follow you and use their own strength to defeat us. Be it a summoner or a beast tamer, if we were to be defeated by their summons, we should not acknowledge him or her." Without thinking much, Errol gave a reason why the fox tribe leaders would not acknowledge the summoners if they used elemental spirits. "What if I threaten their tribes? Then they will not have any chance but to obey me." While saying those words, Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face. Even though Ajax didn''t like to force others, if nothing else works, he wanted to use the force. For him, this mission had to bepleted at any cost. "They will fight to the death." Errol shrugged as he replied with a calm look on his face. ''Sigh'' When he heard that, Ajax sighed as he started thinking about the alternatives. ''What if I destroy those two tribes?'' And the first thing that came to his mind was to destroy the two main tribes. Since no one from those two tribes learned any cultivators''w, Ajax was confident in destroying them; however, he quickly removed that thought because of two reasons. One, ording to Errol, the ancestor''s statue of the tribe would protect them. And the other one, there would be basically no one left in the Western foxnds. Instead of conquering, he would be just killing everyone which made him feel the mission would be failed. "Are there any other ways in which I could make them follow me? Like showing all my elemental spirits and spirit beasts? Or promising that I will help them reach greater heights?" After thinking for a while, Ajax was unable toe up with anything. So, he directly asked Errol whether there are any other methods in which he could make the two tribes follow them. "There is no other way." However, Errol shook his head. "But don''t worry. I will try to convince those two tribes in following you and if they didn''t follow you even after that, you can do whatever you want with them." There wasplete silence for a few moments before Errol spoke once again. "Thank you, Uncle Errol." As for Ajax, he thanked Errol with a silent smile on his face. Even though Ajax felt that the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds'' might fail if he erased the two main fox tribes, Ajax didn''t want to go back halfway. ''I will try to convince them and if they don''t listen, I can only do that.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he looked into the distance. He didn''t bother to find out the second condition because the first one itself is not possible. So, why would he bother with it? In the distance, Ajax could see huge buildings and other constructions and with a nce, he could say that it was a tribe. Moreover, it was not a normal tribe. It is one of the three main tribes in the Western foxnds, the demonic fox tribe. "Ajax, I will do the talking first and don''t say anything about conquering them for now." While looking at the demonic fox tribe, Errol suggested Ajax not speak for some time. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head and allowed Errol to do the talking first. "You are entering into the premises of the Demonic fox tribe. No one is allowed to fly over the tribe. So, I suggest yound on the ground." All of a sudden, a loud voice came from the Demonic fox tribe that made Ajax and others look in the distance. "Let''s go down." Since Ajax wanted to talk peacefully first, he just ordered everyone tond on the ground. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, everyonended right in front of the Demonic fox tribe''s entrance. ''So, this is the statue uncle Errol was talking about.'' As soon as theynded on the ground, Ajax''s eyes fell onto a ck-coloured statue in the middle of the entrance. The statue belonged to a huge ck-coloured fox which was in a howling position and the most striking feature of the statue would be, of course, the demonic markings. ''System, find out the details regarding the statue.'' Since Errol said that the statue is the guardian of the tribe, Ajax wanted to find out more about it. Soon, a halographic screen appeared in front of him. However, before Ajax could see it, he noticed a silhouette out from behind the statue. "Errol? Is that you?" All of a sudden, Ajax heard a crude voice from inside the tribe and soon an old man walked out. "Yes, Old man Deon." Errol walked forward with a slight smile on his face, The old man Deon was none other than the tribe leader of the Demonic fox tribe; however,pared to Errol, the Old man Deon looked very old. "I never thought to see you again. Looks like you are doing fine despite being hunted by everyone." Old man Deon joked as he observed Ajax and everyone that came with Ajax. **** Mana_cid, thanks for the POTION. Chapter 875: Banished Demon Fox

Chapter 875: Banished Demon Fox

Even though Deon spoke jokingly, he secretly signalled his tribesmen to be ready in case the bird tribesmen do something funny. "It''s all thanks to this young man." Pointing his finger at Ajax, Errol replied to Deon. "Really?" Deon already felt a bad premonition in his heart when he looked at Ajax and after seeing there were some elemental spirits behind Ajax, Deon understood Ajax was the boss. ''But their cultivation is not even at level 10 elite general realm. How can they help Errol from the 28 fox tribes?'' Nevertheless, Deon was a little unconvinced about the premonition he was feeling inside his body. Because no elemental spirit under Ajax had the cultivation of the level 10 elite general realm which made him not worry much about Ajax. "Yes." Errol nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "I am very happy to see you alive. Anyway, why don''t you juste in? Let''s talk inside." Soon, Deon invited Errol and others into the tribe. As for his initial wordsing from Deon about seeing Errol alive happy were just words. "Okay." Errol didn''t want to inform about Ajax''s motive directly. So, Errol also nodded his head and walked into the tribe. As for Ajax, he was bored with the conversation between Errol and Deon. So, he was checking the information on the demon fox''s statue while walking into the tribe. ''Ding, Item name:- Banished demon fox''s statue. Grade:- Legend grade Status:- Protector of the Demon fox tribe. Effect:- 1) It will Bless the tribesmen with courage and determination. 2) Protects the demon fox tribe from all kinds of dangers and kills anyone with ill intentions towards the tribe. Note:- It can even cast the barrier which could protect from the King realm cultivators; however, it can''t attack them. More details:- ording to the legends, the Banished demon fox is banished from the demon world by the demon king despite being loyal to him. Therefore, it is believed that the descendants of the Banish demon fox will hate the demons and would do anything to kill them. ''Huh? Blood enemies?'' Ajax was surprised to find out about the bad blood between the demons and the demon foxes. ''It looks like they will make a good subordinate tribe for me.'' After reading the information on the statue, Ajax felt he had to convince this tribe to be his subordinates at any cost. ''Also, this statue is good but keeping a legend grade item in the open...'' At the same time, he felt the statue was a good item; however, he was surprised that there was a legend grade item right in front of the tribe where everyone could see it. "They are here." Soon, Errol, Deon and Ajax entered into a huge hall where there were other elders of the demon fox tribe, already sitting on the chairs while looking at the entrance as though they were waiting for Deon and others. After seeing Deon and the other two with him, all the tribe leaders stood up with a respectful look on their faces. "You can sit." Deon asked them to sit before settling in his chair and looking at Errol, Deon asked, "Errol, do you want to say why you are here?" "Just like always, straight to the point." Errol nodded his head as he continued, "Before I state the purpose of my visit, I want you to calm down." "Sure." With a frown, Deon nodded his head as he waved his hand for Errol to continue. "This young man wants you to be his subordinate. What do you say?" Soon, Errol revealed the reason for their visit without beating around the bush. ''I hope you don''t try anything funny.'' As for Ajax, he was just hoping the demon fox tribesmen would not attack them. If they were to attack them, Ajax didn''t mind killing them. "Sure." To Ajax''s surprise, the tribe leader of the demon fox tribe, Deon nodded his head with a calm look. Not only the tribe leader Deon, but all the other elders were also surprisingly very calm. ''What? Is it over just like that?'' Ajax could not help but feel excited and looked at Errol only to see a frown on Errol''s face. ''What is it, uncle Errol? Is there something wrong?'' As soon as he noticed that, Ajax hurriedly asked Errol. ''I think there is something really wrong. I know Deon very well that he would not agree to follow someone without making things difficult for them.'' Errol transmitted his voice back to Ajax. "You know the rules, right? As long as he defeats me and gets the approval of the ancestor statue, we don''t mind following him." As expected, Deon spoke nonchntly while looking at Ajax and Errol. Deon was very sure that Ajax was just a young master from some good cultivation family and wanted some followers. Actually, it was verymon for the young master from greater worlds to ept some cultivators or tribes as his subordinates if he felt they were worth it. However, it was never in the Wester foxnds until now but it was mentioned in the records of their ancestor. In those records, it had mentioned they had to follow someone who could take them to higher levels and that is the reason why the ancestors of the three fox tribes had left the conditions for them to check for the master they were going to follow. Since Ajax wants them as their subordinates, Deon wanted to give him a chance because he was able to save Errol from the pursuit of the fox tribes. Moreover, while entering into the main hall, Errol said that the grey-furred fox tribe was destroyed by the 27 fox tribes and they were in turn destroyed by Ajax. Also, there was something about Ajax that made Deon feel a bad premonition in his heart. So, he wanted to test that out by fighting him. ***** Jordan_higgs, thanks for the GRIMOIRE Dee_Dee_Hinson, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 876: Agreed to Fight

Chapter 876: Agreed to Fight

"So, are you ready to fight me?" After thinking about it, the tribe leader Deon asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "Old man¡­." "I know the rules but to be on the safe side, why don''t you exin to me." Before Errol could say something, Ajax interrupted him as he replied to Deon with a nonchnt look on his face. "Sure." Deon nodded his head; however, when they heard Ajax''s words, the elders of the demon fox tribe scoffed at Ajax. Other than that they didn''t say anything. "For the first condition, you have to defeat me without the help of your elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts and as for the second condition, you have to get the approval of my tribe''s ancestor." By the end of his words, Deon pointed his fingers to the huge demon fox statue which was outside the tribe. "Good." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "Can I use the weapons or other items on me or not?" While asking that, Ajax maintained a calm look; however, deep down, he was hoping Deon would agree to his word. "You can use weapons." Using a weapon was not mentioned as against the rules in their ancestors'' records. So, Deon said that Ajax could use the weapons. "The first condition is okay but I have some concerns about the second condition. I don''t know how it works." Ajax raised another concern that made Deon and other elders a little impatient. "I will make this clear to you once and for all. If my tribe''s ancestor feels that you are worthy, then you will get his approval; otherwise, you will not and If you have any concerns about it, then you can just leave and forget about the challenge." By the time Deon finished his words, his words contained a little anger. "Okay then. I am ready to fight you." As soon as he got hold of the conditions, Ajax stood up from his chair and said to Deon. "Good. Let''s fight in front of my tribe''s ancestor." Deon''s anger disappeared when he saw how fast Ajax was and decided the fighting grounds for them to fight. Soon, everyone started walking towards the open ce in front of the ancestor statue. ''Ajax, do you know what you are doing? It is very risky.'' Along the way, Errol anxiously transmitted his voice to Ajax and asked about his actions. ''Don''t worry, uncle Errol. I know what I am doing.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied back to Errol as he continued saying, ''Since the old man wants a fight, then he will get one.'' ''Sigh...genius young men these days are¡­.'' Seeing the carefree attitude of Ajax, Errol shook his head because he knew it was impossible for Ajax to win against the old man Deon who had reached the level 10 elite general realm a couple of years ago. As for Ajax, he was only a level 2 general realm cultivator. In Errol''s opinion, with the support of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, it was an impossible thing for Ajax to win the fight, much less get the approval of the ancestor statue. ''I hope he knows what he is going to do.'' Errol didn''t have the right to stop Ajax from doing what he wanted to do. So, he didn''t try to convince Ajax much. What Errol feared was not the tribe leader Deon or any other elders, it was the ancestor statue he was worried about. As long as Ajax defeats the tribe leader Deon by rules, the ancestor statue would not harm Ajax and he might even give his approval; however, if Ajax asks one of his powerful elemental spirits to attack Deon, then the ancestor statue would kill Ajax. Soon, they reached the open ce and at the same time, all the tribesmen of the demon fox tribe stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the open ce to watch the fight. "Uncle Errol, don''t worry. A level 10 elite general old re-cultivated spirit beast is fighting a level 2 general realm young man. So, the tribe leader would go easy on me." Once the open ce waspletely surrounded by the entire demon fox tribesmen, Ajax said to Errol with a slight smile on his face. ''Huh?'' Errol frowned when he heard Ajax''s words because he didn''t understand why Ajax said those words to him. Moreover, until now, they were secretly talking through the voice transmission. So, he couldn''t help but think about what Ajax was nning to do. Not only Errol but even Deon and other elders of the Demon fox tribe frown when they heard Ajax''s words because they were also clueless regarding Ajax''s earlier words to Errol. ''What? The challenge is just a level 2 general realm cultivator?'' ''Does he have a death wish or what?'' ''How dare hee to our tribe with such a lousy cultivation?" ''What''s more, he even challenged the tribe leader.'' ''Tribe leader, just kill him as an example for others who dare to challenge our tribe with such a low cultivation.'' ''Moreover, I wonder why the tribe leader agreed to his challenge?'' ''Isn''t it better to just kill him first and talkter?'' Soon, the entire tribe was filled with whispers as they cursed Ajax for challenging their tribe with such low cultivation. If the challenger had high-level cultivation, then no one would have bothered to curse Ajax because all the tribesmen wished that one day a powerful cultivator woulde to their tribe and make them his subordinates. However, with just a single look, all the tribesmen concluded that Ajax was not a worthy challenger. ''Isn''t it a little too much for the tribe leader to fight a level 2 general realm cultivator?'' Among many whispers, Deon heard a whisper that made him frown. "Haha" The tribe leader Deon only frowned for a few moments before understanding what Ajax was trying to do and after understanding that, he could not help butugh out loud. Chapter 877: Fighting the Demon Fox Tribe Leader (1)

Chapter 877: Fighting the Demon Fox Tribe Leader (1)

"Do you think you will get any handicap while fighting against me just because you have low cultivation?" Afterughing for a moment, the tribe leader Deon looked at Ajax and scoffed at him. "Let me tell you one thing, even if it is a level 1 soldier realm cultivator, I will use my full strength. Within one minute, our fight will officially start. So, prepare yourself and don''t use tricks like that." Before Ajax could say anything, Deon finished his words. ''It looks like he is not going to give me any handicap.'' When he heard the tribe leader Deon''s words, Ajax revealed a bitter smile and shook his head. Ajax said those words imagining that Deon would be someone who would not like to use full strength on a low-level cultivator. However, he was clearly wrong as Deon didn''t have any issues in fighting Ajax with his full strength. ''Ajax, tribe leader Deon''s motive is like ''Though the snake is small, it is still wise to hit it with a big stick''.'' Errol transmitted his voice to Ajax as he exined what kind of foxman the tribe leader Deon was. ''Fine. I will fight him with all my strength.'' Finally, Ajax decided to fight the tribe leader Deon with his full strength; instead of using any other tricks. Even though Ajax could fight the regr level 10 elite general realm cultivator if he used his bloodline along with the legend grade weapons and the grade 3 weapon daos. However, the tribe leader Deon was not any regr level 10 elite general realm cultivator. So, Ajax felt it would be a little difficult in maintaining a stable position while fighting against the tribe leader Deon, much less winning against him. ''Nevertheless, if worsees to worst, I will have to use my other trump cards.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax stretched his body as he prepared himself for the fight. ''Swoosh'' "Preparation time is over." Soon, one minute was over and the tribe leader Deon jumped into the open ground and informed Ajax that it was time to fight. "I am ready." Since Ajax had already decided to fight against the tribe leader Deon, he also entered into the open ground while thinking, ''This is going to be my first time fighting a level 10 elite general realm without the help of my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.'' That''s right! Until now, he fought the high-level cultivators either with the help of his elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts or both; however, he didn''t fight by himself. So, aside from a little fear deep inside his heart, at the same time, Ajax was a little excited. "Let''s start then." As soon as he finished his words, the tribe leader Deon turned into a huge fox that looked like the ancestor statue of the demon fox tribe. ''Grr'' With a growl, the huge wolf jumped onto Ajax with sharp teeth. ''Going directly for the kill?'' Ajax was alert because his opponent is a level 10 elite general realm cultivator. So, with a serious look on his face, he muttered to himself. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' He waited until the demon fox reached him before using one of the effects of the ''Lightning cloud steps'' to disappear from his ce and appear right above the demon fox. ''Swoosh'' ''Die'' Within no time, the inheritance sword appeared in his hands as he used the grade 3 sword dao and shed it at an incredible speed. ''sh'' Since Ajax''s sword dao is a fast-type one, the huge demon fox didn''t have enough time to dodge the attack and Ajax was able to make a small scratch on it. ''Grr'' The huge demon fox became furious when he saw Ajax''s sword touch his body and without wasting any time, he turned towards Ajax and tried to catch Ajax in the mid-air. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' However, Ajax has a perfect escaping skill. So, he used it just like earlier where the huge demon fox was able to bite him. ''As expected, a level 10 elite general realm cultivator has good defences even when he is not using any defensive skill.'' Ajax appeared on the ground 10 meters from the huge demon fox as he looked at the ce where his inheritance sword touched on the fox''s body. Apparently, there was no cut, only a scratch on the body which gave Ajax no surprise because he was already expecting something like that from the start. ''Maybe I need to choose a single weak spot and use all my skills on it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax was checking for the weak spots on the demon fox''s body. ''Instead of one weak spot, I will go for two.'' Generally, all the foxes that Ajax had encountered so far had less protection on their belly following with their neck. So, Ajax decided to attack the neck and the belly of the huge demon fox with his powerful skills. "Your attacks will not have any effect on my body." Deon spoke as he jumped at Ajax once again; however, this time before Ajax could use ''Teleport'', Deon himself disappeared in the middle and appeared behind Ajax. ''Kacha'' ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''That was close.'' With the sudden appearance of the huge demon fox behind him, Ajax''s back was entirely covered in a cold sweat and if not for his timely usage of ''Teleport'', he would have lost his arm; instead of his robes'' hand. "Did you think you are the only one with the ''Teleport'' skill? Haha." Deon asked Ajax in a proud tone as he startedughing and continued speaking, "Nevertheless, your reaction speed is very good which is helping you use the right skills at the right time." Deon was impressed by Ajax''s reaction and he didn''t hesitate to praise his enemy. "However, you are arrogant in challenging me with your lousy cultivation. Now, I am going to tear apart your limb and eat it." ''Roar'' As soon as he finished his words, Deon disappeared from his ce. ****** No gifts... Chapter 878: Demonic Energy

Chapter 878: Demonic Energy

Seeing that the tribe leader Deon disappeared from his ce, Ajax became alert and kept an eye on his back. ''Rumble'' "It''s over, kid." However, who would have expected the tribe leader Deon toe out of the ground beneath him. He widely opened his mouth to swallow Ajax as a whole. ''Damn it.'' Ajax cursed as he didn''t have enough time to dodge the attack. Even though one of the effects of the lightning cloud steps was ''Teleport'', in actuality, it is not a teleportation skill. ''It looks like I have to die again'' Since there is no way for him to escape, Ajax allowed the huge demon fox to eat him alive. "Old man Deon, stop it." Errol shouted as loudly as possible and tried to rush towards them to save Ajax; however, he was stopped by someone. "What are you doing?" Errol was shocked to see that it was Volcanis who stopped him. So, he became furious and shouted at Volcanis, "He is killing your summoning master and you watching him die?" "Our summoning master is not worried about death." Bane and Necros replied at the same time, making Errol even more furious. "You can watch him die but I can''t." Nevertheless, he wanted to help Ajax even though he felt it was alreadyte in saving him. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could take a single step, Errol was pulled away by a brown-coloured tentacle which surprised all the tribesmen because they were unable to see which spirit beast pulled Errol away. Of course, it was the five elemental spirit beast, Pentapus with cultivation of peak rank 6 along with five level 1 elementalws. So, Errol didn''t stand a chance against it. As for the tribesmen, they only looked at Errol for a moment before focusing on the fight between their tribe leader and Ajax because it was more interesting for them. ''Gulp'' However, the huge demon fox didn''t kill Ajax; instead, he just swallowed him before throwing him out of his mouth. ''Aargh'' As soon as he fell to the ground, Ajax could not help but groan in pain because his entrie body was covered with some ck energy that made him feel like he was being pierced by thousands of sharp needles. ''Thud'' Ajax tried to stand up by enduring the pain; however, he could maintain stability and fell to the ground. ''Didn''t I say that this fight is just a waste of time for our tribe leader?'' ''Yeah. It''s true. Even I could have killed him. He is just wasting our tribe leader''s valuable time.'' ''It can''t evenst for a couple of attacks...he is too arrogant to challenge our tribe leader.'' . . Soon, all the tribesmen mocked Ajax for trying what he could not achieve with his current cultivation. "Kid, I would have killed you already if not for you saving my old friend Errol; however, as long as you admit defeat then I will take my demonic energy back." The huge demon fox turned back into the old fox man as Deon asked Ajax to admit defeat. ''Aargh'' How could Ajax just admit defeat without putting up an actual fight? So, he didn''t give a reply as he tried to stand once again; however, the moment he stood, his pain increased to an unimaginable level that made him groan once again as he fell to the ground. "The more you force yourself, the more painful it will be for you. Also, with each passing second, my demonic energy will consume your essence of nature to increase its power." Looking at the struggling Ajax in front of him, the old man Deon shook his head as he continued to convince Ajax to give up the fight. "Afterpletely absorbing your essence of nature, it will start absorbing the blood from your body and make you a dried-up corpse. So, I suggest you just give up the fight. So, you can go back and increase your cultivation." After finishing his words, the old man Deon looked at Ajax as though he was expecting that Ajax would give up. "Give up? In your dreams." Ajax scoffed at the old man Deon while gritting his teeth. "Fine then. I will see how long you willst." The tribe leader Deon just shrugged his hands and didn''t bother to convince Ajax into admitting the defeat. ''What should I do? There must be some way to remove this demonic energy.'' Ajax noticed that the essence of nature from his spirit consciousness was starting to decrease at an incredible speed and at the same time, the demonic energy on his body was also getting stronger. ''Wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and asked the system about it. ''System, since the old man Deon said this is some kind of energy, can I absorb it into my body?'' Since he was running out of time, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he asked the system as soon as possible. ''Ding, Yes, it is possible. The host can absorb the energy into the body to temper his own body; instead of absorbing it into the spirit consciousness. ''Excellent. I will start absorbing this energy into my body.'' After reading the system notification, Ajax felt relieved as he decided to follow the system suggesting absorbing the demonic energy into his body instead of absorbing it into the spirit consciousness. Ajax didn''t know about other cultivators but he was confident in absorbing the energy into his body to temper the body. By doing that, the pain Ajax was currently feeling would be increased even more; however, as long as he was determined, he would not die because of the pain while tempering the body. ''Instead of definite death, it''s better to endure the pain to live.'' ording to the tribe leader Deon''s words, if Ajax didn''t'' admit defeat, he would die because of the demonic energy. So, Ajax thought it was better to stay alivepared to experiencing a little more pain. ***** Dwight_Slywks, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Connor_McBean, thanks for the LOLLIPOP.

Chapter 879: Demonized Ajax

''Let''s do it.'' Ajax said to the system as he decided to absorb the demonic energy into his body to temper it. ''Ding, Host, there is something you need to know before absorbing the demonic energy into your body. ''Huh? What is it?'' Just when he was about to absorb the demonic energy back into his body, Ajax received a system notification that made him frown before asking the system about it. ''Ding, There are three energies that will make a cultivator go insane if he were to absorb them into his body for tempering. ''Ding, They are Devil energy, Beastial energy and Demonic energy. So, the decision is up to the host to choose. Soon, Ajax got two system notifications exining about three energies; however, Ajax was adamant on not admitting the defeat. So, without thinking much he decided to continue doing what he wanted to do. ''As long as I temper my body with it, not only will I be able to fight again but my body will be stronger.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly sat cross-legged and started absorbing the energy into his body. ''Damn it. It is more painful than I expected.'' Ajax was expecting the sudden surge in the pain; however, he didn''t expect the pain to be so fierce that made him stop what he was doing. Nevertheless, with all the pain enduring tips he got from the old voice in his head, Ajax continued to absorb the demonic energy into his body for tempering. ''Aargh'' Soon, the pain started increasing all over his body at an incredible speed which made Ajax groan continuously. ''Huh? What is he doing?'' ''Is it my eyes or everyone can see that the demonic energy from our tribe leader Deon is decreasing on his body?'' ''Yeah. Earlier, his body was entirely covered in dense demonic energy; however, the dark ck colour of the demonic energy is bing lighter and lighter.'' ''It looks like our tribe leader is showing mercy on him and retracting the demonic energy.'' ''But why does it look like he was having so much painpared to before.'' All the demon fox tribesmen were observing Ajax and discussed among themselves while looking at their tribe leader. ''What is happening to my demonic energy? Is he absorbing into his body?'' ''Isn''t he worried that it would make him insane?'' However, the tribe leader Deon also looked at Ajax with a frown because he knew that absorbing the demonic energy into the body would do nothing good. Even tribe leader Deon had to use a legend grade artifact just to store the demonic energy he collected over the past few decades from who knows where. ''I will retract the demonic energy as it would do nothing good for me or my tribe.'' With the thought in his mind, the tribe leader Deon chose to retract his demonic energy. Without wasting any time, Deon extended his hand and in his hand, there was a small ck-coloured gourd. ''Huh?'' However, the demonic energy didn''t leave Ajax as it was absorbed by Ajax at a rapid pace that made the tribe leader Deon frown. ''Why is it noting back?'' Soon, the tribe leader Deon used even more force to pull the demonic energy on Ajax''s body; however, there was no response from the demonic energy as though something was pulling it from the other side which was, of course, Ajax. ''Ajax, stop absorbing the demonic energy. You can''t handle it.'' With a serious look on his face, the tribe leader Deon transmitted his voice into Ajax who was twitching on the ground while letting out painful grains asionally. ''I...I c...can''t.'' In the tribe leader Deon''s head, Ajax replied as though he was enduring so much pain. ''Sigh'' Hearing that reply, the tribe leader Deon could not help but sigh and thought in his head, ''What should I do now?'' ''I need to kill him before he goes crazy from absorbing the demonic energy.'' Actually, the tribe leader Deon''s intention was just to help Ajax learn a lesson that he should not overestimate himself with such low cultivation. However, who would have thought that things would turn out like this and in the end he had to kill Ajax before he could absorb the demonic energypletely. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop Ajax once he turns crazy. After absorbing the demonic energy inrge quantities, it would make any cultivator powerful. Very powerful enough to go against any cultivators below the King realm. However, they could not maintain the state for much longer and to maintain that state, they have to kill other beings. In that state, they will have only one thought and it was to survive. Survive by any possible means. Once they killed everyone around them, they would be even more crazy and would kill themselves. Since there is no way the tribe leader Deon could save Ajax after absorbing the demonic energy, all he could do was to kill Ajax before Ajax could finish absorbingpletely. "Sorry, Ajax. I have to do it for the sake ofo my tribe." ''Swoosh'' The tribe leader Deon apologized to Ajax before rushing towards him with an intent to kill him. ''Let''s save our master.'' Once they saw what was happening in front of them, all the elemental spirits and the re-cultivated spirit beasts didn''t hesitate to jump into the fighting grounds to stop the tribe leader Deon from killing Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''What the hell?'' However, before they could even take a single step, the tribe leader Deon was already in front of Ajax and his ws were aimed at Ajax''s heart until they were stopped by Ajax''s hand. That''s right! Ajax''s eyes were still closed; however, he stopped the tribe leader''s w with a single hand, giving everyone who was watching the fight shocked. As for Ajax''s elemental spirits and the spirit beasts, they heaved a sigh of relief for a moment; however, they felt something was not right. "Kill" All of a sudden, Ajax opened his eyes and said a single word that resounded in everyone''s ears. And the most important thing is Ajax''s eyes. They were pitch ck and looking into them would make anyone feel like they were falling into an endless abyss. The first response from almost 90 percent of the on-lookers was to close their eyes and move away as far as possible. "Everyone, enter into the tribe." As for the tribe leader Deon, he shouted at his tribesmen as he rushed forward to fight Ajax to give enough time for all his tribesmen to enter into the tribe. "Yes, tribe leader Deon." Everyone nodded their heads and rushed into the tribe because they knew they would be protected by their ancestor as long as they were inside the tribe. "Errol, take them inside with you. Ajax will not recognize anyone. All he wants to do is kill them." After giving orders to his tribesmen, the tribe leader Deon said to Errol to bring the elemental spirits and the spirit beasts into the tribe. "Sure." Errol nodded his head and urged the elemental spirits and re-cultivated spirit beasts to enter into the tribe along with him. "We are not leaving with our summoning master." "That''s right! We will stop our master and help him revert back to normal." Soon, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts shook their heads and rushed towards Ajax to stop him from doing something unspeakable. They knew that their master would not harm innocent people and if they didn''t help Ajax return to his previous self, then they would die along with their master anyway. So, they were not afraid to die in the process of helping their master to return back to his normal self. ''Sigh'' Errol sighed and looked at the serious looks on the faces of Ajax''s summons. "I will help him too." Just as the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were about to rush towards Ajax, Errol said those words that made all the summons stop for a moment before looking at Errol, they nodded their heads. "Let''s go then." Necros replied in his errie voice as he summoned his undead warriors and was about to rush. "No. If you use force against him, then it would not work; instead, he would be even more angry." Errol stopped everyone from blindly rushing towards Ajax to fight them and said that he had a n. "Really?" "What is it?" All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were excited when they heard Errol''s words because they didn''t have a single clue on how to turn back Ajax. So, they stopped in their tracks to learn about how to help Ajax. "Everyone,e closer." Errol asked everyone to move closer and soon, he exined his n about how to turn Ajax back to his regr self. While Errol was exining the n to Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, all the demon fox tribesmen were already inside their tribe and prayed that their ancestor would help them. Even though they didn''t know why their tribe leader asked them to hide from Ajax, they have faith in their tribe leader and at the same time, they have already seen how Ajax was able to stop the tribe leader Deon''s attack with a single hand. So, they didn''t ask a single question and blindly followed it, Soon, Errol exined the n in a single breath. "That''s it?" Snow asked with a surprise on her face. ****** DarknessSmile, thanks for the MAGIC WAND x 2 Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON x 1 Chapter 880: Demonized Ajax vs Demon Fox Ancestor

Chapter 880: Demonized Ajax vs Demon Fox Ancestor

In the distance, the tribe leader Deon was fighting against Ajax. Instead of saying it was a fight, it could be said that the tribe leader Deon was trying his best to stop Ajax from entering the tribe. Because Ajax was inplete control of the fight against the tribe leader Deon. ''Poison spatial des.'' As soon as the demonized Ajax said those words, a pitch-ck coloured portal opened behind the tribe leader Deon and from the portal, the spatial des rushed towards Deon at an incredible speed. Compared to his old spatial des'' colour, the colour of the current spatial des looked very different. Previously they were azure in colour; however, now, they were pitch-ck coloured. ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' The tribe leader Deon dodged all the critical spatial des; however, since there were many spatial des, he got hit by some of them. Nevertheless, they were just cuts on his body. So, he was not worried much and looked at thest member of his tribe to enter into the tribe. "Tribe leader Deon, everyone entered into the tribe. You cane back now." One of the elders of the demonic fox tribe asked the tribe leader Deon toe into the tribe. "Yes." After fighting the demonized Ajax for a few minutes, the tribe leader Deon understood that the normal Ajax was more powerful than he thought. Because of that, the demonized Ajax was even more powerful and with his current strength, he could not kill the demonized Ajax. However, he was not worried much because the tribe leader Deon still has his ancestor to protect their tribe and its tribesmen. So, without any hesitation, the tribe leader Deon rushed into the tribe. ''Swoosh'' ''Huh?'' Within no time, the tribe leader Deon was inside the tribe; however, he felt something was wrong with his body because he felt weak all of a sudden. ''Thud'' Before he could figure out what''s wrong with him, the tribe leader Deon fell to the ground and his face had a hint of purple colour on it. "Our tribe leader is poisoned." "All the alchemists, do something." "Everyone leave give some space for the alchemists." After seeing the purple colour on Deon''s face, all the tribesmen concluded that their tribe leader was poisoned and hurriedly asked the alchemists to do something. "There is nothing to worry about. The tribe leader''s condition is not stabilized." The head alchemist of the demon fox tribe tossed a couple of anti-poison pills and used the acupuncture needle technique to release the poison from the tribe leader Deon''s body. ''Phew'' Only after hearing those words from the head alchemist, the tribesmen of the demon fox tribesmen heaved a sigh of relief before looking at Ajax who was walking towards them. Even though Errol and Ajax''s summons were still outside the demon fox tribe, for some reason, Ajax was not focused on them; instead, his pitch-ck eyes were focused on the demon fox tribe. ''Boom'' Just as the demonized Ajax was about to enter into the demon fox tribe, he was sted away by something. ''Aargh'' Even though he was sted away by more than one kilometer, the demonized Ajax still didn''t fall to the ground as he perfectlynded on the ground as though he jumped back. "Stay away from my tribe." Soon, the ck demon fox statue which was in a howling posture jumped into the sky beforending in front of the demonized Ajax and with a growl, it asked Ajax to stay away from its tribe. However, Ajax was not in a state to listen to anything because there was only one word that was continuously repeated in his head and it was ''Kill''. ''Demon hands'' Without any hesitation, Ajax used one of his skills that turned his hands into demon hands. Just like the ''Spatial des'' skill, there was a change in this skill too andpared to the change in the ''Spatial des'' skill, the increment in the ''Demon hands'' skill was very huge. Demonized Ajax''s two hands were nearly touching the ground and they looked very powerful. ''sh'' Demonized Ajax rushed towards the huge demon fox and continuously shed his huge demon hands at the fox. ''Swoosh'' Even though the demon fox looked huge, it was so fast that it was able to dodge the attacks without any difficulty. ''Demon burst.'' After repeatedly dodging the attacks from the demonized Ajax, the huge demon fox waited for an opportunity and the moment it saw an opportunity, it opened its mouth and released a ck-coloured energy beam at Ajax. Even though Ajax was in a demonized form and could not differentiate between anything, he knew how to fight and how to dodge. Seeing the iing energy beam, Ajax just used his two huge demon hands as a shield and since both the attacks were rted to demon type, they had no effect on Ajax. "Impossible." "How can he stop our ancestor''s attack like that?" All the onlookers from inside the demon fox tribe were shocked by the actions of the demonized Ajax and looked at their tribe leader Demon. "Don''t worry. Even though it is very hard to kill anyone in the demonized form, as long as our ancestor stalls for another 10 minutes, he will return back to normal self." The tribe leader Deon woke from his unconscious state after receiving treatment from the head alchemist. Seeing the worried looks on his tribesmen, he replied with a slight smile on his face. "Really?" "Thank god." After hearing those words, all the demon fox tribesmen were happy and looked at the fight between Ajax and the ancestry of the demon fox tribe with excited looks on their faces. "Everyone, get ready. As soon as I give you the signal, you need to do what I have just exined." At the other end, Errol prepared Ajax''s summons while waiting for an opportunity. "Yes" Everyone nodded their heads as they looked at the fight with serious looks on their face. ***** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Landslide, thanks for the POTION.

Chapter 881: Defeating the Demonic Fox Ancestor

Earlier, Errol exined a n to all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and prepared them. Even though Errol was not sure whether the n would work or not, he wanted to try something to save Ajax. A few moments back, the tribe leader Deon said that as long as his ancestor stopped Ajax from killing anyone for another 10 minutes, Ajax would return back to his normal self. However, what he didn''t say is Ajax would die if he turned back to his normal self with the demonic energy inside his body. As for Errol''s n, only he and Ajax''s summons knew about it and they were just waiting for an opportunity. "Die" ''Dimensional shackles'' Even though the demon burst from earlier didn''t do any damage to the demonized Ajax, it pissed him off a little. So, he became even more crazy as he started to use Ajax''s all skills one by one. Soon, two long chains appeared from the portal and wrapped themselves around the huge demon fox. ''Grr grr'' The ancestor demon fox was surprised to see the sudden appearance of long chains from the portal opened just behind it and tried to escape from it. However, it was unable to free itself and while growling at Ajax. "Absolute darkness" After the dimensional shackles, the demonized Ajax used another powerful skill that made the huge demon fox which was struggling in the ''Dimensional shackles'' freeze. ''Thud'' With a ''Thud'', the huge demon fox fell to the ground and closed its eyes. ''What?'' ''How the hell is it possible for him to defeat our ancestor?'' ''Is this the end for our Demon fox tribe?'' ''Tribe leader Deon, what should we do now?'' Seeing that their strongest ancestor was defeated by the demonized Ajax, everyone was shocked as they asked their tribe leader about their situation. "Everyone, don''t worry, our tribe''s ancestral formation would stop him for at least 5 more minutes." Even though the tribe leader Deon was also worried a little, as a tribe leader, he didn''t show it on his face and tried his best to calm the tribesmen. At the same time, the tribe leader Deon silently thought, ''It looks like this is the bad premonition I felt when I first saw Ajax.'' The tribe leader Deon remembered the first time when he met Ajax and at that time, he felt a sense of danger from Ajax; however, it onlysted for a couple of minutes. So, he didn''t think much about it. However, after seeing how Ajax even defeated their ancestor, he understood Ajax''s potential is not someone from the smaller or normal worlds would have. His potential belongs to a greater world. The effect of the demonic energy depends on the potential of the cultivator. The more potential the cultivator has the more powerful and more cruel, one would be just like Ajax. ''I hope the ancestor''s formationsts for another five more minutes.'' Nevertheless, the tribe leader Deon was praying to the heavens for his ancestral formation. A few minutes back. In an endless space, ''What is this ce?'' While the demonized Ajax was fighting the huge demon fox, Ajax opened his eyes only to see that he waspletely surrounded by the endless darkness. Thest thing Ajax remembered was that he was fighting the huge demon fox. For some reason, he didn''t even remember that he was surrounded by special demon energy from the tribe leader Deon. Nevertheless, he was observing his surroundings; however, except for the endless darkness, Ajax was unable to see anything. The entire ce was very calm and peaceful until Ajax heard growls. ''It looks like I am not alone in this ce.'' Soon he was able to sense there were many demonic creatures surrounding him. ''Roar'' As expected, the moment he sensed the demonic creatures that were hiding in the endless space didn''t bother to hide anymore; instead, they came out from the ck-coloured ground and roared at him. "Where the hell did theye from?" Ajax became alert as he readied himself to fight and the moment he entered into the fighting mode, all the demonic creatures around him rushed towards him while letting out the roars. "Spatial des." Since all the demonic creatures were still in the distance, Ajax decided to use his long-range skill ''Spatial des.'' However, the expected portal didn''t appear and there was no sign of any spatial des. ''What the hell!'' Ajax was shocked because how can a skill that he learned in the beginning of his cultivation journey disappear all of a sudden. ''Absolute darkness'' ''Dimensional shackles.'' . . . Ajax continued to use one skill after another; however, nothing worked out and the demonic creatures were already jumping onto him. ''What should I do?'' He was bing anxious and didn''t know what to do because after sensing that he could not use any of his skills, Ajax felt powerless and he even doubted that his cultivation was lost. ''What is happening with me.'' Many thoughts shed in his head that made him clutch his head and started groaning in pain until he saw a portal open in the distance. Even though he could not seepletely what was on the other side of the portal, from what he noticed, it was simr to a purple stone world that was filled with nts and oceans. ''Run'' Without any hesitation, Ajax started running for his life and hoped to enter the portal before the demonic creatures could catch him. ''I can do it. It is close.'' Ajax didn''t bother to look at the demonic creatures as he only focused on rushing into the portal. However, Ajax didn''t notice that there was something wrong before, he was surrounded by the demonic creatures; however, the demonic creatures that were in the same direction of that portal disappeared without a trace. ''Wait for a second.'' Even though he didn''t notice the missing demonic creatures in the direction, he noticed something else. **** Cagerayimmortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 882: I am You And You Are Me

Chapter 882: I am You And You Are Me

''Why are they not chasing after me?'' Ajax was puzzled when he saw that the demonic creatures which were jumping onto him just a few moments ago were nowhere to be seen. So, he felt there was something wrong and carefully observed the portal in the distance. ''It looks like a regr portal.'' However, Ajax was unable to find anything wrong with the portal. ''Should I test it out before entering the portal?'' After going through many trials and tribtions, Ajax had faith in his intuition. So, even when he was unable to find anything wrong with the portal, he wanted to test it out before entering the portal. ''Let''s see.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax turned in the same time direction he came from. ''Roar'' Just as he took a couple of steps, the demonic creatures that had disappeared to who knows where appeared again and roared at him before rushing towards him. ''Oh no.'' Ajax was shocked to see the sudden appearance of the demonic creatures and hurriedly turned back before rushing towards the portal. Ajax stopped a few meters away from the portal because he was afraid of being sucked into the portal. ''Are they afraid to enter the portal? Or are they intentionally making me enter the portal?'' After testing his theory with the demonic creatures, Ajax came to two conclusions and looked into the endless space where there was no sign of any demonic creature. ''Do what your intuition says.'' All of a sudden, Ajax heard the familiar sound in his head and judging from the sound, Ajax could guess that the old voice would not speak any other words because his voice was very weak. ''Since everything in this ce wants me to enter the portal, I will go in the opposite direction.'' Ajax thought for a few moments and decided to walk in the opposite direction from the portal. ''Roar'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started walking in that direction and the demonic creature appeared out of thin air and roared at him. However, they didn''t attack him; instead, they continued to roar as though Ajax would be fearful of them and go back into the portal. Ajax was careful as he slowly walked forward and he was ready to rush back into the portal if the demonic creatures tried to attack. His intuition was telling him that he should not enter the portal because all the surroundings were making him enter the portal. First, all his skills became invalid. Second, the demonic creatures that appeared in the direction of the portal disappeared. Third, the remaining demonic creatures were chasing him into the portal. Last but not least, no matter how fast the demonic creatures were rushing towards him, they were still a distance away from him. So, Ajax felt he should not enter the portal. ''It looks like all bark but no bite.'' As expected, all the demonic creatures rushed towards him the moment he walked in the opposite direction; however, they stopped exactly at a distance of 10 meters from Ajax and roared at him. Finally, Ajax came to the conclusion that all these demonic creatures were fake. ''Swoosh'' ''Am I dreaming?'' Soon, Ajax walked past the demonic creatures and the moment he walked past them, they disappeared into thin air. ''Kacha'' At the same time, the entire space around Ajax started cracking and shattered like ss before his consciousness transported to another ce. Soon, Ajax found himself floating in the mid-air in blood red-coloured surroundings. ''Kill'' ''Kill'' Ajax was hearing only a single word in various volumes like whispering to shouting in his ears; however, there was no one around him. ''Since you want me to? kill, why don''t you appear in front of him, I will start my killing with you.'' Even though Ajax''s heart was filled with various emotions, he suppressed them as he bravely spoke into the thin air. "Trying to be brave on the surface; however, you are just scared to kill anyone." Soon, an errie voice resounded in Ajax''s ear. "It is you that is scared toe forward and hidden somewhere." Ajax scoffed at the eerie voice as he continued to put on a brave act. The thing is who would be not anxious if all their cultivation and skills disappeared. At the same time, who would be not worried if they were threatened by a mysterious being who could control the entire environment around them? Nevertheless, Ajax replied back to the mysterious being with a scoff thinking that the mysterious being woulde out. ''Haha'' However, a burst of loudughter resounded in the entire area that made Ajax frown. So, he asked, "If you are so scared toe in front of him, then send me back from where you picked me up." "Fool. I am you and you are me." All of a sudden, the hugeughter came to an end and soon, a ck coloured silhouette came out of Ajax''s spirit consciousness. The silhouette hovered in front of Ajax and said those words. As for the silhouette, he looked just like Ajax; however, his eyes were pitch ck just like that demonized Ajax who were fighting the huge demon fox. "What?" When he saw the sudden appearance of himself right in front of him, Ajax was shocked as he tried to fly back; however, the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness form was much stronger than the normal Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. So, he was pulled towards the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. "I am not you and I don''t know who you are." Just looking at the pitch-ck eyes of the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness form, Ajax became anxious before he felt like he was falling into a deep abyss from which he could not return. "You don''t know me?" As for the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness form, when he heard those words, he scoffed at Ajax before waving his hand and soon a huge mirror screen appeared out of nowhere. ***** KingRig, thanks for the POTION.

Chapter 883: Ajax vs Ajax

''Swoosh'' As soon as the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness waved its hands, a huge mirror screen appeared in front of the normal Ajax. Soon, various scenes shed on the mirror screen. Those scenes were from Ajax''s past from the time he killed the disciples of the assassin sect in the cursed wilderness to the very recent event in which his elemental spirits destroyed the twenty-seven fox tribes in the Western foxnd. After every scene, the mirror screen showed Ajax''s face which looked evil and cruel. "Did you see that? At every scene, I was there. While you destroy or kill other beings, I will enjoy them." While the normal Ajax was observing the scenes on the mirror screen, the demonized Ajax was exining to him that both of them were one entity and not two separate entities. "No, I never enjoyed killing them." Even Ajax didn''t like that expression put by Ajax in the mirror screen and denied the fact that he never liked killing. "Haha" However, the demonized Ajax could not help butugh when he heard Ajax''s words. "Stopughing. We are not the same." The normal Ajax could not stand theughing of the demonized Ajax as he asked him to stopughing. ''p'' "If you don''t admit the fact that we both are one entity, then you are going to die from the demonic energy inside your body." Finally, the demonized Ajax could not take the normal Ajax''s ignorance and pped him before saying that he would die by the demonic energy. "No matter what you say, I never enjoyed killing anyone and I don''t? have anything to do with you." For some reason, Ajax was not changing his view on the demonized Ajax. "You." The demonized Ajax became furious when he heard those words before jumping at the normal Ajax and started fighting him. ''p'' ''p'' ''Swoosh'' ''Pak'' ''Ba'' Since Ajax could not use any skills, they used their bare hands to fight with each other. ¡­. In front of the Demon fox tribe, ''Thud'' ''Kacha'' The demonized Ajax used his powerful punch repeatedly until a crisp sound came from the barrier that was protecting the Demon fox tribesmen. ''What?'' ''Tribe leader Deon, what should we do now?'' ''Tribe leader Deon, didn''t you say that our ancestral barrier would be strong enough to stop him.'' The moment the demon fox tribesmen saw a small crack on the barrier, they became anxious and hurriedly looked at their tribe leader for suggestions. ''Damn it. His potential is much higher than I thought.'' As for the tribe leader Deon, he was shocked when he saw that demonized Ajax was able to break their ancestral formation with his bare hands. He already thought Ajax''s potential was so high when he defeated their ancestor; however, after seeing that the demonized Ajax could destroy their ancestral formation, he felt like he underestimated Ajax''s potential even when hepared his potential with the greater worlds'' young masters. "Everyone, the moment he breaks our ancestral formation, be ready to run as far as possible. I will try to stop him." As a tribe leader, the safety of his tribesmenes first. So, the tribe leader Deon suggested his tribesmen run as far as possible. "But, isn''t it dangerous for you, tribe leader? You already lost once. Why don''t we all fight him together and stall thest two minutes? So that he would be normal." While pointing at the demonized Ajax who was continuously punching the ancestral formation of the demon fox tribe, one of the elders suggested the tribe leader. ording to the tribe leader Deon, if Ajax could not kill anyone for the next two minutes, then he would be normal. So, if they fight together in the group, they would have more chances of surviving. "Hmm" The tribe leader Deon looked at the ancestral formation that might be destroyed anytime now and thought for a moment before nodding his head, "Let''s fight together then." "All the tribesmen with a cultivation of level 5 elite general realm or more should stay back to fight him and as for the others, just run as far as possible." Soon, the tribe leader Deon gave his orders to his tribesmen while taking out his powerful weapon and readied himself along with the other elders of the tribe. ''Penta, when Ajax destroys the barrier, you have to bind him with three of your tentacles.'' On the other side, Errol and Ajax''s summons were observing the demonized Ajax''s actions and waiting for the right opportunity to help Ajax be normal. So, Errol said to the five elemental pentapus to bind Ajax because it was very powerful. So, Errol hoped that the spirit beast could stop Ajax from moving for a few moments. ''Ajax is very powerful. So, you four elemental spirits also help Penta in binding Ajax.'' Next, he gave the task to Volcanis, Necros, Cerauno and Zen. ''As for others, you have to distract him while I use the final step to help Ajax be normal.'' Within no time, Errol gave everyone their own tasks while the main step was still in his hands and hoped he would be sessful in helping Ajax be normal. ''Father, how sure are you about your n.'' After everyone was in position, the three-eyed ghost fox asked Errol with a worried look on his face. ''Even though I said that I can help him, it still depends on Ajax in controlling his inner demons. So, I can''t say exactly how sure I am; however, this is the only thing we could do for him.'' With a bitter look on his face, Errol replied to his son and waited for Ajax to destroy the ancestral formation of the demon fox tribe. ''Kacha'' Soon, the barrier that was protecting the demon fox tribe shattered after taking the repeated punches from Ajax. "Everyone, let''s go." Errol and the tribe leader Deon shouted at the same time as they rushed towards Ajax. ***** No gifts. Chapter 884: Ghost wants to help

Chapter 884: Ghost wants to help

''Swoosh'' Errol and Ajax''s summons were rushing forward to help Ajax in getting control over the demonized Ajax whereas the tribe leader Deon and his tribe elders were rushing towards Ajax to stop for another two minutes. Even though their intentions were different, in the end, they have to stop Ajax from moving. ''Swoosh'' Among all those who were rushing towards Ajax, the five elemental spirit beast used its tentacles to reach Ajax within a few moments before binding him with three of its five tentacles. At the same time, the pentapus activated three elementalws rted to those three tentacles to make sure that Ajax would be stopped in his tracks for some time. ''Swoosh'' Next, the tribe leader Deon reached the demonized Ajax as he swung his huge battle axe at Ajax. ''Puch'' However, Ajax stopped the iing battle-axe just with his single hand. Since he was immobilized by the five elemental spirit beast''s tentacles, Ajax wanted to free himself from them; however, when he saw that the tribe leader Deon was rushing at him with his huge battle-axe, the demonized Ajax forgot about the tentacles and stopped the attack. "Die." With a strong pull, Ajax took the tribe leader Deon''s huge battle-axe and used the huge battle-axe to attack the tribe leader. Since Ajax had learned grade 3 battle-axe dao, his swing was almost perfect as it created huge waves that pushed the tribe leader Deon and the rest of his tribe elders by a few meters. ''What? How is his battle-axe''s swing more powerful than my swing?'' The tribe leader Deon and his tribe elders escape the huge waves created by the huge battle-axe by an inch. He also guessed that if he or his tribe elders were a little slow, then they would have been killed by the huge waves. What''s more, even his own battle-axe swing could not create such huge waves despite the fact his battle-axe weapon dao was already at grade 3. "Everyone, be careful. Now, he has a heaven grade weapon with him." Soon, the tribe leader Deon warned everyone about the weapon that Ajax had just taken from his hands. "Damn it. What have you done, Old man Deon." Errol cursed when he saw how Ajax took the weapon from the tribe leader Deon. Until now, he had some hope in helping Ajax in getting control over the inner demons in him. However, with the huge battle-axe in his hands, it is almost impossible to go near Ajax without getting hurt. ''Swoosh'' Just like Errol guessed, after deflecting the tribe leader Deon and his tribe''s elders, Ajax sent another series of huge waves at the elemental spirits that were supposed to stop Ajax from attacking others. Without any choice, they dodged the iing huge waves released from the huge battle-axe and looked at Errol as though they were asking what they should do now. ''Shakes'' As for Errol, he shook his head because he didn''t have any more ideas to help Ajax. Soon, the demonized Ajax attacked the tentacles that were binding him for a while which made the five elemental pentapus release Ajax from its tentacles. ''Sigh...is this how he is going to die?'' Errol looked at the demonized Ajax with a helpless look on his face. Ajax had helped him reunite with his son and at the same time, he also helped him in destroying the fox tribes that were responsible for the destruction of his tribe. So, Errol wanted to help Ajax; however, looking at the current circumstances, he felt it was almost impossible for him to help Ajax. ''Father, are we just going to let my master die?'' The three-eyed ghost fox in Errol''s hands asked him in a worried tone. ''Sorry, son. Your master is very powerful. It is impossible for any of us to go near him. But, don''t worry, I will help your master survive this ordeal at any cost.'' Errol replied with a bitter look on his face. If Ajax dies, then his son would die. At least for his son''s sake, Errol had to do something and after thinking for a few moments, Errol decided to risk his life to go near the demonized Ajax. "Father, can you say what we have to do exactly in order to save my master? I might be able to help." Even though Errol assigned various tasks for the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, he didn''t exin what was the main thing that Errol had to do to save Ajax. So, Ghost asked his father to exin theplete n. "It is too risky for you to go near him." However, Errol shook his head and said that the three-eyed ghost fox is not allowed to go anywhere near Ajax. Currently, Ajax could not differentiate between friend and foe. So, as a father, how could Errol let his son take the risk. "Father, if my master dies, I will die along with him. So, please let me take the risk." Ghost replied to Errol in a serious tone as though he was adamant about helping his master. "Sigh" Seeing the stubborn look in his son''s eyes, Errol could not help but sigh; however, in the end, he nodded his head because he knew that his son would not listen to his words anymore. "Okay. Since you are the three-eyed ghost, you must have awakened the ''Teleport'' skill. So, use it to go near your master and touch your master with this mirror." While saying those words to the three-eyed ghost fox, Errol took out the legend grade artifact from his space ring and gave it to his son. "That''s it?" Ghost looked a little confused because he felt it was an easy thing to do. So, he asked his father about it. "Even though it looks like an easy task, it is very risky considered your master''s strength." Errol shook his head and asked his son to be careful. **** DarknessSmile, thanks for the SWORD x 2. Cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 1. Chapter 885: Merging With Mirror Artifact

Chapter 885: Merging With Mirror Artifact

Errol didn''t want his son to take the risk in the beginning. So, he intentionally didn''t say his n to anyonepletely. However, when he thought about how his son would die if Ajax dies, he decided to let his son take the risk because his son had a high chance of reaching Ajax without getting injured or dying. "Be careful and don''t let your guard down." Errol once again warned his son to be careful while he observed the situation around Ajax. Currently, Ajax was fighting the tribe leader Deon and his elders, five elemental spirits and Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts. ''Everyone, distract your master as much as possible until my son reaches him.'' Soon, Errol sent a voice transmission to everyone including the tribe leader Deon and his tribe''s elders. Everyone nodded their heads and started working on it. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was busy fighting others, the three-eyed ghost fox used his skill ''Teleport'' to move towards Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After using the skill more than three times, Ghost had finally reached Ajax with the legend grade artifact? in its mouth. ''Swoosh'' When Ghost was only one meter away from Ajax, he threw the mirror artifact at Ajax. "Father, I did it." After finishing his task, the three-eyed ghost fox turned towards his father before shouting at him with excitement. ''sh'' Just as the mirror artifact touched Ajax, he shed in the direction of the three-eyed ghost fox. "Son, escape." However, Errol was still feeling worried and when he saw what the demonized Ajax had done, he hurriedly warned his son. ''Swoosh'' Just when the huge waves released from the battle-axe about to touch Ghost, he once again used his ''Teleport'' skill to disappear from that ce. "Thanks for the warning, father." After sessfully escaping from the attack, Ghost thanked his father and repeatedly used the ''Teleport'' skill to move towards him. ''Phew'' Only when he saw that his son was unharmed from the battle-axe waves, Errol was able to heave a sigh of relief. "So, what should we do now?" After going back to his father, Ghost asked his father while looking at the demonized Ajax who was bing crazier and crazier with time. "All we have to do now is wait." With a helpless look on his face, Errol replied to his son. As for the demonized Ajax, the mirror artifact thrown by the three-eyed ghost fox was absorbed by Ajax as it entered into his body. "This mirror artifact would help him get rity on many things which might help him in winning against the demonized version of himself." Seeing that the mirror artifact was sessfully absorbed in the demonized Ajax''s body, Errol said to his son. "So, will he wake up soon?" Hearing those words, Ghost became excited as he looked at the demonized Ajax who was not showing any signs of bing normal. "Yes, however, he needs to be clear on some things with his inner demons and he needs to control them. But the good thing is his demonized form will disappear soon and he has another hour to control his inner demons." Errol felt that one hour is enough for Ajax to control his inner demons; however, the more potential a cultivator had in him, the stronger his inner demons will be. ''Thud'' Just like what Errol said, the demonized Ajax fell to the ground a few moments after absorbing the mirror artifact into his body. Soon, the evil look on his face disappeared as he became normal; however, he was still unconscious. Deep inside his spirit sea, the normal Ajax and the demonized Ajax were still fighting with each other without showing any signs of stopping. ''Is it over?'' ''The crazy young man is unconscious. Did he die?'' ''It looks like the tribe leader Deon was not lying when he said that the crazy state for the young man would notst for much longer.'' ''I wonder what the tribe leader Deon would do to that young man now?'' ''Also, did you notice that young man''s summons are very powerful? I wonder if they are stronger than our tribe leader.'' As for the demon fox tribesmen who were very far from the fight amidst Ajax and others, stopped running when they noticed that Ajax fell unconscious. Even though they have many questions in their mind, they were feeling relieved with the fall of Ajax because now they don''t have to run away from their tribe. ''Huh? Why is he still alive?'' However, unlike the demon fox tribesmen, the tribe leader Deon was shocked when he saw that Ajax was still alive despite being returned to a normal state. ording to what he knew, it is almost impossible to survive if a cultivator entered into a demonized form. ''I have to kill lest he wakes up and bes demonized once again.'' Since there was no case where a cultivator survived the demonized state, the tribe leader Deon didn''t have much idea about what would happen to Ajax. Unlike Errol, the tribe leader Deon was not very knowledgeable; however, he was a careful fox man. So, he wanted to kill Ajax when he still had the chance. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, the tribe leader Deon rushed towards Ajax and took his battle-axe that had fallen on the ground before jumping at Ajax. ''Die'' In the tribe leader Deon''s hands, the huge battle-axe grew even bigger as it was about to cleave Ajax. "Everyone, we have to stop him." Errol and Ajax''s summons were shocked as they rushed towards the tribe leader Deon to stop him from killing Ajax. "Old man Deon, he will not enter into the demonized form again. Stop it." While rushing towards the tribe leader Deon, Errol tried to exin things to him; however, they were very farpared to the distance between the tribe leader Deon and Ajax. "Stop." Just when the huge battle-axe was about tond on Ajax, a majestic voice resounded from the demon fox tribe. **** DarknessSmile, thanks for the SWORD. Chapter 886: Ancestor Calden

Chapter 886: Ancestor Calden

''What?'' Everyone, including the tribe leader Deon, was stopped after hearing the appearance of the majestic voice. It was like they were willing to stop moving, it was like they were stopped by some powerful yet invisible force. Since they could not move their legs, they turned their heads towards the direction from which that sound hade with slight fear in their eyes. ''Swoosh'' From the demon fox tribe, a young man in ck robes flew towards the tribe leader Deon. "Ancestor." As for the tribe leader Deon, he was shocked with the appearance of the young man flying towards him and called him with a face full of respect. That''s right! The young man in the ck robes was the ancestor of the demon fox tribe who had ascended to the greater world a few millennia back. Even though there were no apparent features of a demon fox in the young man and the tribe leader Deon had never seen his ancestor until today, he was able to sense that it was his tribe''s ancestor because the blood flows in his body came from his ancestor. "Descendants these days don''t even greet or introduce themselves to their ancestors." When he saw the shocked expression on the tribe leader''s face, the young man felt a little funny; however, he maintained the attitude of an ancestor as he scoffed at the tribe leader Deon. "Fourth generation descendant Deon greets the ancestor Calden." Coming out of his shock, the tribe leader Deon greeted and introduced himself to the young man. "Fourth generation?" Soon, the ancestor of the demon fox tribe Calden frowned for a bit and asked, "So, no one managed to ascend to any of the greater worlds?" Generally, a king realm cultivator could live for more than a millennium, unlike the cultivators below the King realm who could only live for less than a millennium depending on various factors like their main cultivation technique and body tempering etc. Since it''s been a little more than a few millennia and there was already a fourth-generation descendant leading the tribe. So, Calden guessed that the second and third generation tribe leaders must have died in the flow of time. As for how he recognized the tribe leader Deon as the tribe leader of the demon fox tribe, it was because of the battle-axe in his hands that the weapon passed down to the tribe leaders of the demon fox tribe. "Yes, Ancestor. Second generation tribe leader died when he could not break through into the King realm in time whereas the third generation tribe leader was killed by someone from the Ancient evergreen woods." The tribe leader Deon replied with a helpless look on his face as he sighed while exining the past of his tribe. "Sigh." Hearing that, even Calden could not help but sigh as he looked at his tribesmen who were looking at him with confused looks on their faces. Unlike the tribe leader Deon, the tribesmen were not powerful enough to recognize Calden as their Ancestor; however, they were feeling deeply suppressed by him. And there was another reason why no one except for the tribe leader Deon could rte Calden as their ancestor because once a cultivator enters into a greater world from a smaller world or a normal world, they could not return to their worlds that easily. "Ancestor, how did youe here? Aren''t you supposed to be in the greater world?" Controlling his emotions, the tribe leader Deon asked the young man in ck. "I am still in the greater world. What you are now seeing is merely a projection." To the tribe leader Deon''s question, Calden answered while looking at the unconscious Ajax as he continued saying, "And the reason I came to this world was to check on you because I felt my statue that I left here to protect the tribe was destroyed by someone." Earlier, when the demon fox tribe''s statue was fighting Ajax, it was destroyed by him and it was felt by the ancestor who was currently living in a greater world. He was concerned about his tribe. So, he sent a part of consciousness using a special treasure from the greater world to check on his tribe. When he saw that his tribe was still intact, Calden heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the unconscious Ajax who was about to get killed by his descendent; however, he sensed something from Ajax that made Calden stop the tribe leader Deon from killing Ajax. "Ancestor, it is like this. This young man came to challenge me¡­." Soon, the tribe leader Deon exined everything that happened from the time Ajax came to their tribe and how he absorbed the special demonic energy into his body before bing crazy to destroy everyone in his path. "Huh? Demonized form? And he survived?" After hearing the entire story, Calden looked at the unconscious Ajax and revealed a surprised look on his face before saying, "No wonder, my statue didn''t stand a chance against him." "He is a summoner with various elemental spirits under him. So, I gave him the chance to challenge despite the fact his cultivation was very low." Nodding his head, the tribe leader Deon exined more about Ajax. "Interesting." The smile on the ancestor''s face increased as he looked at the unconscious Ajax while informing the tribe leader Deon, "You don''t have to kill him as he will not turn into demonized form; however, if he wakes up, you can consider following him because all those who lived past the demonized state became powerful cultivators in the greater world. In the end, it is your decision whether to follow him or not because you are the tribe leader and you hold the full responsibility of our tribe. Be it growth or destruction, it will depend on your decisions." After finishing his words, the young man in ck robes walked towards the unconscious Ajax. ''What?'' As for the tribe leader Deon, he was shocked by his ancestor''s words as he looked at the unconscious Ajax. Chapter 887: Truth About Ghost Fox Tribes Ancestor

Chapter 887: Truth About Ghost Fox Tribe''s Ancestor

As per the tribe leader Deon''s knowledge, he didn''t know what the ancestor Calden had said about the cultivator who survived the demonized state. So, he could not help but be shocked. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything and looked at his ancestor whoo was walking towards the unconscious Ajax. ''Interesting.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ancestor Calden muttered to himself and then looked at Ajax''s summons. As for Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that were immoblized by Ancestor Calden''s cultivation presence, they looked at Calden with a face full of worries. Because, right now, if he wanted to kill their master, he could do it with ease. "Don''t worry. I am not here to harm your master; instead, I can even help him." Looking at the worried expressions on their face, Ancestor Calden could not help but reveal a light chuckle before saying those words. ''Phew'' Even though they were relieved to hear those words, deep down in their hearts, they were still having a slight fear towards Ancestor Calden. "Descendent Deon, I don''t have much time left in this world." All of a sudden, Ancestor Calden said to the tribe leader Deon and bent a little to touch Ajax''s forehead before saying, "This will help you increase your chances in controlling the? inner demons." When he touched Ajax''s forehead, there was a little glow as though something was entered into Ajax''s head. "I will take my leave." Taking a nce at his tribesmen, Ancestor Calden decided to leave the five elemental world. "Ancestor, can you please answer a question?" Just as Ancestor Calden was about to disappear from his ce, Errol shouted at him because Ancestor Calden was so far from him. "Huh? Ghost fox tribesmen?" Even though he nched at everyone present within a few hundred kilometers, he didn''t put much attention on Errol and his son. However, when he saw them, he could help but heave a long sigh. "I owe your ancestor a lot. So, I can answer any of your questions." Calden put a hold on his return to the greater world; instead, he walked toward Errol and his son. "Thank you, Ancestor Calden." Errol heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the reply and thanked him. Before saying those words, Errol was fearing that his words might irk him. So, when he heard that Ancestor Calden owed a lot to his ancestor, Errol felt like he did the right thing. "Please ask whatever questions you have as soon as possible. I can''t stay here for much longer." While Errol was heaving a sigh of relief, Ancestor Calden urged Errol to ask his questions quickly. "Sorry, Ancestor." Without wasting any time, he apologized before asking, "Ancestor Calden, can you inform my ancestor that the entire Ghost fox tribe except for me and my son had been destroyed." As a tribe leader of the Ghost fox tribe, Errol knew that if the ancestor''s statue was destroyed by someone or something, he should appear and help the tribe. However, in the Ghost fox tribe''s case, it didn''t happen because even before someone attacked their tribe, the ancestor statue entrered into his son''s body. So, he was worried about his ancestor that made him ask about his ancestor to Ancestor Calden. The thing is there was no way for his ancestor to know about the destruction of his tribe and Errol wanted Ancestor Calden to inform to his ancestor. "Th..this.." When he heard Errol''s words, Ancestor Calden was shocked to hear that the Ghost fox tribe was destroyed and looked at the three-eyed ghost fox in Errol''s hand. Even though Errol didn''t inform about the integration of the ancestor with Ghost, Ancestor Calden could clearly see that in Ghost with a single nce. "I am sorry, your ancestor got killed while protecting me in one of the ancient ruins in the Greater world." While saying that, Ancestor Calden looked very sad as he looked at Errol and his son with a concerned look. ''What?'' Errol''s heart nearly exploded when he heard Ancestor Calden''s words as his face was filled with an unbelievable expression. "How is this possible?" Even though Errol knew that anything is possible in the greater world, he was still unable to digest the fact that his tribe''s ancestor was dead. "Sigh...it is hard for you to believe but it is the life of a cultivator. We never know when we will die." Ancestor Calden shook his head as he asked Errol, "It looks like your son is integrated with it and moreover, he must have encountered many fortuitous encounters to mutate into a three-eye ghost fox. Make sure he follows that young man. His potential will be fully unlocked by following him." While pointing at the unconscious Ajax, Ancestor Calden suggested to Errol to let his son follow him to reach greater heights in his cultivation journey. "He has already formed a contract with Ajax, Ancestor Calden. Even I decided to follow him as I could not stay in this ce where no one from my tribe is alive." Errol nodded his head as he exined the contract between his son and Ajax along with his ns to leave the five elemental world. "Hmm." Hearing Errol''s words, Ancestor den nodded his head as he transmitted his voice to Errol, ''If you are with your son, it will only hinder his progress. I suggest that you stay in this world and resurrect your tribe with the help of my tribe. As for your son, he will have adventures that would unlock his full potential.'' ''Why is that?'' Errol didn''t understand why he had to stay away from his son. So, he asked Ancestor Calden about it. "I have to go now. I will give an order for my descendants to help you in resurrecting your tribe." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ancestor Calden disappeared from his ce without a trace. ****** Cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 2 Chapter 888: Accepting the inner demon

Chapter 888: epting the inner demon

''What?'' As for Errol, he was standing there with his mouth wide open because he didn''t understand the reason why he should not stay with his son. When Ajax asked about Errol''s ns, he said that he wanted to move out of the five elemental world but he was indirectly saying that he was going to follow Ajax because there were two reasons. One, there is nothing left for him in the five elemental world as his entire tribe was destroyed by the fire base with the help of the fox tribes. Two, he didn''t want to get separated from his son because his son is the only reason why he was living. However, after hearing Ancestor Calden''s suggestion, Errol fell into a dilemma whether to follow Ajax or go separate ways? ''There must be a reason why Ancestor Calden suggested that I should not stay with my son. As long as it is helpful in unlocking my son''s potential, I will follow that suggestion.'' After thinking for a few moments, Errol looked at his son who was oblivious of thest words between Errol and Ancestor Calden and came to the conclusion of not following Ajax. ''I will stay here and build my strength and resurrect my tribe.'' Soon, Errol decided and became resolved to rebuild his tribe. "Swoosh" As for the others like the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, as soon as Ancestor Calden disappeared from his ce, the cultivation pressure that was immobilizing them from moving disappeared. So, they rushed towards Ajax to check on him. The tribe leader Deon went back to his tribesmen and exined everything. ''Woah. So, he is really our ancestor.'' ''He is so young and handsome.'' All the tribesmen were excited because they finally saw their ancestor because their ancestor''s age was more than a couple of millennia. ''Hey, look. The destroyed ancestor''s statute is back again.'' All of a sudden, one of the tribesmen pointed at the usual ce where their ancestor''s statue used to be ced, there was a new and shining statue appeared. "Everyone, you can go back and do your work." As for the tribe leader Deon, he was not surprised by the statue after seeing what his ancestor was capable of doing. ''Earlier, just with a single word, he immobilized everyone in the surroundings and what would happen if he used full force?'' This was the only thought in the tribe leader Deon''s head. ''So, should I follow him or not?'' Next, he looked at the unconscious Ajax who was currently surrounded by his summons and thought about his ancestor''s suggestion. ... While the tribe leader Deon was thinking about his ancestor''s suggestion, in the endless space, two Ajaxs were fighting one another. ''Swoosh'' ''If you don''t ept me, you are going to die soon.'' With a kick, the demonized Ajax replied to the normal Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''As I said earlier, I never enjoyed killing as you showed on the mirror screen.'' The normal Ajax returned the favour with a kick just like the demonized Ajax before replying to him. ''Haha'' Hearing his reply, the demonized Ajaxughed as he stopped fighting before maintaining a sufficient distance from him. "With that attitude ofo yours, you are going to die." The demonized Ajax scoffed at Ajax and didn''t continue fighting again because he was annoyed that Ajax was too stubborn. Actually, the thing is as long as Ajax didn''t ept that he enjoyed killing others like the assassin disciples and demons, he would be consumed by the special demonic energy of the tribe leader Deon. However, if he epted the demonized Ajax, then both Ajax could be integrated into one entity. Moreover, by doing so, Ajax would have the power to use the special demonic energy to temper his body without any problem. But the problem is, the special demonic energy in Ajax''s body makes things harder for Ajax to understand that they were a single entity. So, instead of saying that it was normal for Ajax to fight the demonized Ajax, it could be said that the demonized Ajax was literally begging the normal Ajax to open his eyes to see the truth. ''Ting'' When the demonized Ajax was losing hope because of special demonic energy that was more powerful than he thought, a mirror appeared out of nowhere and hit the normal Ajax. ''Ouch'' Ajax cried in pain as he rubbed his head. ''Why am I fighting myself?'' While rubbing his head, the normal Ajax looked at the demonized Ajax and muttered to himself as though he had awakened from some kind of sleep. ''Yes, yes. You are me and I am you. We have to fight the iing demonic energy.'' The demonized Ajax noticed the change in the normal Ajax as he hurriedly tried to exin to him. "I don''t like killing innocent people; however, I like killing those who wanted to kill me and those who wanted me dead." Finally, the normal Ajax nodded his head as he epted the demonized Ajax. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax said those words, the demonized Ajax''s spirit consciousness started glowing with a bright light before rushing into normal Ajax''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging with the demonized version of yourself. ''Ding, From now on, the host could use any kind of demonic energy for himself. The merging process didn''tst for much time and as soon as it was over, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I can hear the system notifications.'' Until now, Ajax had tried contacting the system; however, there was no response from the other side that made him get worried because he felt the system had left him. However, after hearing the system notifications, Ajax felt quite a relief and tried tomunicate with it. ''System, what happened to me earlier. Why can''t I ept that I like killing with my inner demon.'' Ajax asked his first question to the system hoping he would get an answer. Chapter 889: Becoming a feast for the demonic creatures

Chapter 889: Bing a feast for the demonic creatures

''Huh?'' However, Ajax didn''t get any reply from the system making him frown. He wanted to find out the reason for his earlier stubbornness but the system disappeared once again. ''Why am I still here?'' Nevertheless, he didn''t worry about it and thought that the system woulde back to him as soon as he woke up but the thing is he was still in the same ce. He assumed that as long as he epted his inner demon, he would disappear from this ce; however, he was still in the same ce. ''Roar'' Just as he was thinking about it, the demonic creatures from earlier came out of the ck ground around him. ''I am not interested in you.'' Since he already experienced that the demonic creatures are just imaginary things or whatsoever that would only roar but would do nothing to him. So, he didn''t pay much attention to them as he started thinking about how to leave this endless space. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' While he was thinking, more than three demonic creatures jumped at him and bit him on both hands. ''Aargh'' However, this time, the demonic creatures really made him groan in pain. ''What the hell?'' Ajax was shocked as he looked at the three demonic creatures that had small pieces of his spirit consciousness in their mouths. ''Damn it. Why are they attacking me now? Is it because of merging with my demonized version?'' Looking at the many demonic creatures that wereing out of the ground, Ajax cursed. ''Wait for a second. Since they are attacking me now, I might be able to use my skills, right?'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax tried to use one of his skills. ''Spatial des.'' Ajax shouted; however, there were no spatial des or whatsoever; instead, the demonic creatures became even more furious and jumped at him. ''Damn it.'' Soon, all the demonic creatures started tearing his spirit consciousness apart making his pain worse. ''At this rate, my spirit consciousness will bepletely devoured by them and it will be beyond recovery.'' Ajax was losing hope in getting out of this space because once his spirit consciousness ispletely devoured by the demonic creatures, then he would forever remain in the unconscious state which indirectly leads to his death. ''I have to do something. I should not die like this.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he endured the paining from being torn apart by the demonic creatures, he started thinking of something to escape from his current situation. ''Huh? Earlier, my demonized version said that as long as I ept him, I can have the strength to fight the special demonic energy. So, what can I do which I was unable to do earlier?'' ''The reason I absorbed the demonic energy into my body was to temper my body; however, who would have thought this energy was so special that it created my inner demon which was almost impossible because of the system.'' Soon, Ajax closed his eyes and started analysing his current situation while enduring the spirit consciousness tearing pain. ''I think my demonized version was implying that I can now use the special demonic energy to temper my body.'' Finally, Ajax felt like he found a way to escape from his current situation and with that idea in his mind, Ajax opened his eyes only to see that more than 60 percent of his spirit consciousness body was already devoured by the demonic creatures. ''Damn it...I have to temper my body as soon as possible.'' Even though he didn''t have a clue of his current location, Ajax was very sure that his spirit consciousness was still inside his body. So, he used his earlier experience of body tempering with fire and lightning to do the same with the demonic energy. ''Swoosh'' Even though there was less than 40 percent ofo his spirit consciousness body left, Ajax didn''t want to give up without trying his idea. So, he closed his eyes and started absorbing the demonic energy emitting from the demonic creatures around him that were feasting on him. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used his main cultivation technique ''Heaven and Earth refining technique'', one of the many demonic creatures disappeared without a trace. ''Aargh'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt a sharp rise in his pain and could not help but groan. ''It''s working.'' Nevertheless, the pain onlysted for a couple of seconds beforeing back to the pain that wasing from being torn apart by the demonic creatures. ''Did I recover my spirit consciousness just now?'' All of a sudden, Ajax noticed that his left hand that waspletely devoured by the demonic creatures earlier had grown until his elbow. Seeing that, Ajax could not help but be excited and his motivation to temper his body with the special demonic energy had increased to another level. ''As long as all the demonic creatures didn''t attack me all at once, I can survive this predicament.'' Ajax looked at more than 20 demonic creatures in front of him and thought in his head. Even though there were more than 20 demonic creatures from the beginning, only three or four demonic creatures were devouring him and as for the other demonic creatures, they were just roaring or gloating at Ajax''s misfortune. So, he felt there is still hope and without wasting any time he continued circting his main cultivation technique to absorb the special demonic energy into his body. ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Soon, one after another demonic creature that was munching on Ajax''s spirit consciousness started disappearing without a trace. At the same time, whenever a demonic creature disappeared, Ajax would groan in pain for a few moments before suppressing it. No matter how prepared he was for the iing pain, Ajax was unable to remain calm whenever his body was tempered with a demonic creature but he still continued until he was shocked by the next move made by the demonic creatures. **** Nikelous_Perdue, thanks for the GRIMOIRE.

Chapter 890: Ancestor''s favour

''Roar'' After he absorbed more than five demonic creatures around him, the demonic creatures that were gloating on Ajax''s misfortune angrily roared at him before jumping towards him. ''Oh no. Why did they change their strategy now?'' Looking at the iing demonic creatures, Ajax was a little worried because until now, whenever a demonic creature disappeared, another demonic creature would take its ce; however, now, all the remaining demonic creatures were jumping at him to devour his spirit consciousness that was barely recovered to 70 percent of his whole body. After absorbing five demonic creatures to temper his body, his spirit consciousness had received quite a bit and Ajax didn''t want to feel the same pain again. ''What I feared the most is happening much earlier than I thought.'' Actually, Ajax had already thought that when he absorbed more than half of the demonic creatures, the remaining demonic creatures would rush at him. However, he didn''t expect them to rush at him when he barely absorbed five demonic creatures. ''I have to speed up the process and circte ''Heaven and Earth refining technique'' as fast as possible.'' Until now, Ajax was fearing that if he circted his main cultivation technique at full speed, then it might make the other demonic creatures rush at him; however, now, since all demonic creatures were already rushing towards him, Ajax didn''t bother to circte his main cultivation technique at normal speed and increased it to full pace. "Swoosh" As soon as he started circting his main cultivation technique, it only took a couple of seconds to finish oneplete circle and at the same time, three of the demonic creatures disappeared meaning Ajax absorbed them to temper his body. ''That''s it! I can do it.'' After seeing the speed of his main cultivation technique, Ajax was unable to control his excitement as he continued to circte the cultivation technique. However, the demonic creatures were much faster than earlier and the rate at which they devoured him was also very fast making it impossible for Ajax toplete the next cirction. ''Roar'' ''Kacha'' Before he could do something, more than a dozen demonic creatures started eating him and before he knew what was happening, there was only his head left. As for the rest of his body, it waspletely devoured by the demonic creatures. ''I thought I am the only one who is holding back but it looks like you are also holding back.'' With thest remaining portion of his missing body, Ajax looked at the demonic creatures who were eyeing his head and thought with a bitter look on his head. ''Looks like I am going to die now. I feel sorry for my summons for dying along with me.'' After seeing the speed at which the demonic creatures were devouring him, Ajax lost all his hopes of getting out of there alive. So, he came to the conclusion that he would die today. However, he thought about his summons and felt it was his biggest regret because they didn''t get a chance to fight the enemy and they were going to die without any knowledge about it. ''Swoosh'' Just when his head was about to be devoured by one of thergest demonic creatures, a small light ball appeared from the distance which froze all the demonic creatures around Ajax. ''What is that? What is happening here?'' Ajax was shocked to see the sudden appearance of a small light ball and looking at the frozen demonic creatures around him, Ajax was puzzled and curiously looked at the iing small light ball. ''Earlier, it was some kind of mirror that helped me get rity regarding my demon version and now there is a small light ball that seems to being to my rescue. I wonder, where are all these itemsing from?'' Ajax thought back to the time where he was stubborn to admit the fact that ''I like killing'' with his demonized version, the mirror artifact appeared out of nowhere to help him; however, he didn''t know it was a mirror artifact but he caught a glimpse of it. And now, there is a small light ball that appeared out of nowhere and seems to be helping him. So, he thought about who might be sending them to help him. ''My name is Calden and I am the ancestor of the demon fox tribe.'' Just as he was thinking, Ajax saw that the small light ball hover in front of him and introduced itself. ''Ancestor of the demon fox tribe? Aren''t you the statue that my demonized version destroyed a few minutes earlier?'' After merging with his demonized version, Ajax knew what he had done. Even though he was not clear about many things, he knew that his demonized version had destroyed the ancestor statue of the demon fox tribe and defeated the tribe leader Deon. "Yes. You owe me one this time. I hope you return the favour in the future when we meet again." The small light ball seemed to be a little annoyed when it heard Ajax''s words but it said the words it was supposed to say before entering into Ajax''s head. ''What? I owe you? I have to repay you?'' Ajax was shocked to hear the small light ball''s words as he didn''t understand thempletely; however, he was sure about one thing and it was that he could escape from his current situation. ''Let''s finish it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax revealed an excited smile on his face as he circted his main cultivation technique ''Heaven and Earth refining technique'' to absorb all the demonic creatures that were frozen by the ancestor Calden. ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' As soon as he started circting his main cultivation technique, the demonic creatures started disappeared one by one and at the same time, he started groaning in pain. Compared to earlier, the pain was a little less, maybe because of no movement from the demonic creatures; however, Ajax was not bothered by it as he continued what he was doing. **** No gifts. Chapter 891: Awakening

Chapter 891: Awakening

''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully tampering your body with a special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host can now turn into his demonized state for a time period of 5 minutes. As soon as Ajax absorbed all the demonic creatures into his body, the system sent a couple of notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief. ''Finally, there are no more demonic creatures.'' After absorbing all the demonic creatures into his body, his spirit consciousness form was also fully restored back to normal. ''Now, the thing is how should I leave this ce?'' Looking at his silent surroundings, Ajax thought in his head. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax thought about it, his spirit consciousness disappeared from the endless space without a trace. ... In the open ce in front of the Demon fox tribe, Currently, Ajax waspletely surrounded by his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts who were worried and waited for Ajax to wake up. ording to Errol, their master has one hour to wake up and if he didn''t wake up within an hour, he would not wake up forever. However, when they thought about Ancestor Calden''s words, they became a littlefortable. "Don''t worry. Your master will wake up soon because he received huge help from Ancestor Calden." Looking at the worried faces of Ajax''s summons, Errol tried to cheer them up. "But, it''s been more than 50 minutes since our master fell asleep and if he didn''t wake up in the next ten minutes, he would be sleeping forever." Cerauno replied with the same worried look on his face. That''s right! It''s been more than 50 minutes since the mirror artifact entered his body. So, Ajax had to wake up in the next few minutes. ''...'' Hearing that, Errol didn''t know what to reply because what Cerauno said was also true as it''s been so long that Errol was also having second thoughts. ''I need to do something.'' Since Errol didn''t want Ajax to die because his son would also die along with him. So, he wanted to do something to save Ajax. ''Cough cough.'' Just as Errol was nning something dangerous to wake up Ajax, a heavily coughing sound could be heard by everyone. "Master, you are alive." "Summoning master." The coughing sound came from Ajax and the moment his summons saw his sit; instead of sleeping, they were excited and expressed their joy. ''Phew'' As for Errol, he heaved a sigh of relief because his son''s life is safe now. "Everyone, I am back." Ajax revealed a huge smile on his face as he replied to his summons. "So, how long did I fall asleep?" Ajax stood on the ground as he stretched his body before asking that question to his summons. "Nearly one hour, master. If you are a few minutes, ording to Errol, you would have permanently slept." Raweth replied to Ajax with a relieved look on his face just like other summons. "Really?" Ajax was shocked to hear those words and looking at Errol, he asked with a serious look on his face. "Yes, Ajax. You should thank the mirror artifact and Ancestor Calden; otherwise, it would have been impossible for you to wake up from your slumber." Errol nodded his head as he answered Ajax with a concerned look on his face. "Thanks for the mirror artifact, Uncle Errol and I owe Ancestor Calden a favour for his help during the critical time." Ajax thanked Errol and said that he would repay Ancestor den''s favour when the timees. "By the way, you need to take some rest as you must have suffered a lot of pain." Errol didn''t say anything about Ajax''s reply; instead, he asked Ajax to take some rest. "I will do that." Ajax nodded his head and turned his gaze towards the demonic fox tribe. "Tribe leader Deon, since the winner is not decided in the earlier match¡­." "Deon, the tribe leader of the demon fox tribe and the rest of the tribesmen acknowledge you as our leader in the presence of holy heavens of the five elemental world." Before Ajax could finish his words, the tribe leader Deon and the entire demon fox tribe members knelt in front of him as they acknowledged him as their leader. ''Rumble'' As soon as they said those words, shes of lightning and thunder rumbling appeared in the calm sky making Ajax shocked. As for Errol and Ajax''s summons, they were not surprised much by the decision taken by the tribe leader and the entire demon fox tribe members because they heard it loud and clear when their ancestor suggested they follow Ajax to reach greater heights. ''I, Errol, the tribe leader of the Ghost fox tribe acknowledges you as my leader under the holy heavens of the five elemental world.'' Once again another fox man swore before the lightning shes in the sky could disappear and this time it was Ghost''s father, Errol. ''Kacha'' ''Rumble'' The shes of lightning and thunderbolts in the sky became even denser and looked even more powerful. ''Why? What happened to them while I was unconscious?'' Ajax didn''t understand what was happening and why they were willing to acknowledge him as their leader all of sudden. However, Ajax didn''t reject it because as long as they were willing to follow or help him do some things, he would be more than happy to help them back in bing more powerful. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, two huge lightning shes rushed towards Ajax ''What the hell is happening? Are they nning to kill me or what?'' Looking at the two powerful lightning shes rushing towards him, Ajax felt a bad premonition because he felt they had the power to kill him. Moreover, when the two tribe leaders, Deon and Errol, saw the iing lightning shes they revealed slight smiles on their faces making Ajax think that they were nning to kill him by acknowledging him as their leader. ***** Shadow_Falls, thanks for a LOLLIPOP and a BALLOON. Chapter 892: Tribe leader Cren, Master Rens thoughts

Chapter 892: Tribe leader Cren, Master Ren''s thoughts

Somewhere in the Western foxnds, ''Hey, look at the sky. Is that what I think it is, right?'' ''Looks like it.'' The fox guardians of the Tailed spirit fox tribe looked at the sky in the distance and they were shocked to see the shes of lightning. ''Is it happening in the Demon fox tribe?'' ''Judging from the distance, it must be the Demon fox tribe.'' ''I wonder whom they acknowledged as their leader.'' The lightning shes and the rumbling of the thunderbolts were loud. So, all the tribesmen of the Tailed spirit fox tribe came out of their houses and started discussing among themselves about the phenomenon they were witnessing in the sky. Even though it was their first time witnessing such an event, they already knew a lot about it and it was a popr event. So, everyone knows what that phenomenon means. "It looks like someone impressed that old fox Deon. If my guess is right, the same person mighte to challenge our tribe in a few days." A muscr old man with a long white bear looked at the sky and said those words in a low tone; however, the entire tribe heard those words and nodded their heads in agreement. The muscr old man was none other than the tribe leader of the Tailed spirit fox tribe which was almost simr to the Demon fox tribe. They have the same conditions in epting someone as their master and a statue that would protect them from the indestructible forces. So, when he saw the lightning phenomenon in the sky, he said those words with a slight smile on his face and waited for the person toe to his tribe to challenge him. ''It''s been ages since someone challenged my tribe. I am curious about that person who challenged and defeated the old man Deon.'' The tribe leader Cren was curious about the challenger and waited for him to challenge his tribe soon. ''However, the phenomena look more powerful than what was described in the ancestors'' books.'' Even though they read a lot about the phenomenon happening in the sky, it looked more powerful. So, the tribe leader Cren''s curiosity increased even more. "Everyone, let''s go back to our work." After looking at the sky for another few minutes with his tribe members, the tribe leader Cren ordered everyone to stop staring at the sky and go back to their work. "Yes, tribe leader Cren." Everyone nodded their heads and soon left from that ce to get themselves busy with their own work. However, when everyone was leaving they were a little excited and looking forward to that person toe and challenge because ording to their ancestor if a tribe had a powerful leader, they would be more powerful by following him. ¡­.. In another corner of the Western foxnds, ''The ancestor of this demon fox tribe is more powerful than I imagined.'' A ck-robed man who was watching the entire event from where Ajax challenged the tribe leader Deon to the appearance of the ancestor Calden who helped Ajax to wake from his sleep, muttered to himself when he thought about the Ancestor Calden. He was none other than Master Ren who was interested to see Ajax challenging the Demon fox tribe when his Sun and Moon elemental spirit informed him about it. So, he left his secret cave to observe the fight from a very long distance by concealing his cultivation presence. "When he was leaving, he even smiled at me. From this alone, I can say that his cultivation had long crossed mine." When he thought about the slight smile on Ancestor Calden''s face, Master Ren could not help but shiver. "It looks like his cultivation would be simr to my master, I guess. But I say these words to my master, he would beat the crap out of him and he would make him acknowledge him as the strongest person in the universe." However, when he thought about his master, Master Ren''s heart became warm but at the same time, he revealed a bitter look at his master''s actions. "Anyway, there were only a few more years left before my master''s said time toplete. I hope I can meet him and tell everything that I experienced in my cultivation journey." Master Ren was looking forward to meeting his master and when he saw that Ajax was fine, he disappeared from his ce as he went back to his secret cave to recover his strength. ... Back at the Demon fox tribe, ''Are they trying to kill me or what?'' Ajax didn''t have enough time to dodge the iing lightning shes before the two huge lightning shesnded on him. ''Boom'' There was a huge explosion at the ce where Ajax was standing earlier. ''What?'' ''Summoning master, are you alright?'' ''Master, say something.'' Even Ajax''s summons was not expecting that the lightning shes would hit their master. As soon as the explosion urred, they tried to contact their master. Even though they felt that their master was still alive, they were unable to get any reply from Ajax, making them a little worried. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining the loyalty of two ancient tribes. ''Ding, Activating a new feature. Please check it in the user interface. As for Ajax, currently, he was lying on the ground with his face looking at the sky and because of the smoke from the earlier explosion, Ajax was unable to see the sky clearly. Just as he was waiting for the smoke to be cleared, he received two system notifications that made him reveal a bitter smile on his face. ''How many more trials and tribtions do I have to go through?'' Thinking about recent events from where he was running from here and here before bing the target of Master and then destroying the 27 fox tribes and entering into a demonized state, Ajax could not help but reveal a bitter smile on his face. **** Kyle_Leary, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 893: Tribe Management Tab

''Don''t worry. I am still alive.'' After he got some energy, Ajax replied to his summons to not worry about him. "Phew" Hearing their master''s voice transmission in their heads, all summons heaved a sigh of relief. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the smoke cleared away as Ajax tried to stand up with much difficulty. ''Huh?'' While he was standing with the support of his hands on the ground, he saw tattoos on his hands. ''Are they rted to the two fox tribes?'' They are fox tattoos that look alive. One looked transparent and looked like a ghost fox''s head. As for the other tattoo, it looked cruel and without a doubt, it was a demon fox''s head. So, Ajax thought they were rted to the two fox tribes that acknowledged him as their leader. ''I will check them after taking some rest.'' Ajax felt weak all over his body and wanted to take some rest before checking what he had gained from the recent events that nearly cost him his life. "I need a room to rest." With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked towards the Demon fox tribe before asking the tribe leader Deon for a room. "Yes, leader." As for the tribe leader Deon, he was more than happy to give his mansion as he guided Ajax. Ajax didn''t forget to send all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts back into the inner world because they were fighting non-stop for a while. ''Everyone, you need to wait for some time before the construction of the new elemental paradises is finished.'' Ajax informed them about the remaining time for the elemental paradises to finish their construction that made all his summons exciting. "Leader, you can rest here." As soon as the tribe leader Deon guided him into a huge mansion, he left from there, so that Ajax could rest for a while. ''Finally, I can rest.'' Ajax fell onto the bed and entered into a deep sleep. After 12 hours, In a sh, twelve hours passed by as Ajax opened his eyes and stood up from the bed. "It''s time to check." After sleeping for twelve hours, Ajax was no longer as tired as he was when he entered the room; instead, he was feeling more powerful that made him excited. Without wasting any time, he decided to check the rewards frompleting the mission ''Kill in three'' and the recent event of turning into a demonized state. Earlier he was focused on challenging the tribe leader Deon, so he didn''t check how many spirit points he gained. ''System, show me my spirit points.'' ''Ding, Current spirit points:- 490000. As soon as he asked the system about his spirit points, the system sent a reply and seeing the spirit points in front of him, Ajax could not help but feel excited. ''I can now buy more items for my elemental spirits.'' Earlier, he used some of the spirit points to buy the elemental paradise for each elemental spirit that was still under construction. As soon as their construction was finished, no elemental spirit had to share their elemental paradise with other elemental spirits; however, they should share with the contracted spirit beasts because there is no separate store for them. ''By the way, I remember seeing a system notification informing me about a new system feature. I wonder what it is.'' When two huge lightning shesnded on him, Ajax was barely able to think and even though he saw the system notifications, he was unable to remember much about what happened to him; however, he was sure that a new system feature was unlocked. ''Let''s see what the new feature is.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax opened the user interface and found a new system feature as he focused on it to know more about it. ''Ding, Feature name:- Tribe management tab Use:- It helps the hosts in managing the tribes that are under him to grow those tribes stronger along with the host. Current tribes:- Ghost fox tribe (grade 0) and Demon fox tribe (grade 2). Note:- every time a new tribe leader and his tribesmen acknowledges the host as their leader, a tattoo rting to that tribe will be formed on the host''s body. Soon, the information regarding the new system feature appeared in front of him making Ajax raise his brows. ''Grade 0 and Grade 2?'' Ajax muttered about the grades that appeared beside the tribe names. ''Ding, A tribe that has a fighting power of more than 100000 tribesmen, then that tribe is considered as grade 2 tribe 2. ''Ding, If a tribe has the fighting power of around 10000 tribesmen, then it is a grade 1 tribe whereas if a tribe has the fighting power of fewer than 10000 tribesmen, it is a grade 0 tribe. ''Oh. So, the tribes are ssified by their power too.'' After reading the two system notifications, Ajax understood the ssification of the tribes and felt a little sad when he saw Grade 0 for the ghost fox tribe. ''I need to help them be a powerful tribe; however, the problem is there are no ghost foxes left in the western foxnds because they were killed by the 27 fox tribes groomed by the summoner''s group.'' ''Ding, Rewarding the host with a special item for bing the leader of two ancient tribes. Please check your inventory. Just as he was feeling how he should gather more ghost foxes, Ajax received a system notification that made him a little expectant. ''I hope it is something useful in increasing the ghost fox tribe''s poption.'' With a hopeful look on his face, Ajax opened his inventory to check the item. ''Huh? Is it some kind of potion?'' Three was only one unfamiliar item in his inventory that looked like a potion. ''Anyway, let''s see what it is.'' With a thought, the small potion bottle appeared in his hands as he said, ''Appraise.'' As soon as he said that,plete information about the potion appeared in front of him. **** KingRig, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. cageraymortal, thanks for a LOLLIPOP and a BALLOON.

Chapter 894: Beast Luring Potion

''Ding, Item name:- Beast luring potion. Item grade:- Special. Effect:- It can attract a chosen spirit beast race in a ce where the liquid from the potion bottle is dropped. The effectiveness will decrease with distance. Range:- 100000 kilometers. Note:- 1) The user has to select the type of spirit beasts he wants to lure. 2) The attracted spirit beasts might behave violently. Soo, it is suggested to be careful when using it. As soon as he focused on the colourless potion bottle in his hand, theplete infomration regarding the potion bottle appeared in front of him. ''It is what I needed.'' To confirm what he read, he read the information a couple of times before feeling excited about the potion. ''This will help Uncle Errol to lure all his tribesmen who were hiding in various regions of the five elemental world.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax stored the ''Beast luring potion'' in his inventory and focused on the rewards he gained for his demonized state. ''System, is it safe to transform into a demoinized version of myself? Also, what are the advantages of the demonized state.'' Since he could not transform into a demonized state, he wanted to know what he could do and whether it was the same thing to do or not. The main thing Ajax wanted to know was whether he could still retain his consciousness when he was in a demon form. Earlier, when he entered the demon form, he nearly killed everyone and if not for Erroling up with a n to help him, then it would have been a disaster. So, Ajax wanted to make sure it was a safe thing for him to use the demon form; otherwise, he decided to use only when his lifewas at risk. ''Ding, The demon form is an advanced technique that helps a cultivator bring out his inner rage. The more angry he is, the more powerful he will be. ''Ding, Moreover, the host will retain his consciousness. So, there is nothing to worry about. Soon, the system sent two notifications and after reading them, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''What about the advantages? Will my battle prowess increase just like before?'' After heaving a sigh of relief, Ajax asked a few more questions and at the same time, deep inside his heart, he was hoping the system would say ''Yes''. Even though the system said that with anger he would be powerful, earlier, there he became a lot more powerful without that kind of range. Moreover, he wanted to find out the base power of the demon form. So that he could be prepared for the dangerous situation. ''Ding, There will be no change in the battle prowess of the host after he enters the demon form without any rage. ''Then?'' However, the truth was always bitter as he asked what is the use of entering into the demon fox. ''Ding, The major change is all the skills of the host would contain a hint of special demonic energy that contains more destructive power. ''Cool.'' Even though he was disappointed when he read the earlier system notification, after reading thetest system notification, Ajax became excited as stood up from his bed. ''I will check on the construction of the elemental paradise because spending the spirit points.'' Ajax had a lot on his mind right now. He wanted to upgrade the grade of the elemental paradises and buy some elemental spirit stones of a higher grade. Also, he could even buy elemental skill crystals and elemental spirit weapons from the elemental spirit store. However, he was not in a hurry and wanted to think about it carefully before spending the spirit points. ''Enter'' As soon as he came to a conclusion, Ajax entered his inner world where elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were observing the construction of their elemental paradises. "Master, thanks for all these elemental paradises." Seeing the sudden appearance of Ajax, all the beings in the inner world rushed towards him before thanking him. ''As your master, it is what I have to do.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax shook his head as he suddenly thought of something. ''Little fuzzball, Little green,e forward.'' After remembering something, he called the names of the two contracted spirit beasts. Little fuzzball is the offspring of the golden bear king and as for the little green, it was the Arcane spirit turtle. ''Thud'' Even though he called the Arcane spirit turtle as little, it was not at all little. When it was taking a step, the surroundings would shake a little; however, he saw it from the moment it came out of the little egg. So, in his eyes, it was still a little one. Soon, the two spirit beasts that Ajax called came forward and stood in front of him. ''Close your eyes and don''t resist it.'' Ajax took a couple of steps towards the two spirit beasts in which one was as huge as a small mountain and as for the other one, he was a young human of around 10 years. That''s right! After using the re-cultivation technique given by Ajax, both the golden bear kings, the father-son duo sessfully re-cultivated into humanoids. Even though the father golden bear king still had the bear head, the son golden bear king looked like a regr human kid. ''System, I want them to enter the elite general realm and rank 6 respectively.'' Ajax ced his hands on the Arcane spirit turtle and the human kid before asking the system to upgrade them. ''Ding, Are you sure you want to upgrade them? As soon as Ajax said those words, without a surprise, he got a reply from the system asking whether he was sure about it. ''Yes. I am absolutely sure.'' Ajax nodded his head as he gave the confirmation to the system notification. ''Ding, Initiating the upgrade. Please wait for a few minutes. Soon, a bright light covered Ajax and the two spirit beasts. **** Zevran_Crow, thanks for the SWORD. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 895: Great Arcane Refiner

Chapter 895: Great Arcane Refiner

It is not the system that was giving leeway for Ajax to upgrade his spirit beast. It was the reward forpleting the mission from the ''Spirit Beast Quest Tab''. The reward was Ajax could increase the cultivation of any three spirit beasts from rank 5 to rank 6. Since little fuzzball and the little green were still in the low-grade rank 5 realm, he chose them to make full benefit from the rewards. Moreover, he felt the skills from those two spirit beasts would be helpful for him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining two more rank 6 spirit beasts. ''Ding, Arcane spirit turtle learned a new skill ''Great arcane refiner'' ''Ding, Re-cultivated spirit beast Zan learned a new skill ''Furious Earth King''. Soon, the bright light that was covering Ajax and his two contracted spirit beasts disappeared without a trace. Along with a series of system notifications, the sizes of his two contracted spirit beasts also changed. The arcane green spirit turtle became even biggerpared to its earlier shape of a small mountain. As for Zan, the little golden bear king, his appearance changed from a 10 year old human boy to a 15 year old young man. ''Let''s check their new skills.'' Ajax was satisfied with the changes in their appearance and he wanted to see the effects of their new skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Furious Earth King (level 1). Effect:- When the spirit beast became angry, the ground below him would crack before swallowing all his enemies. Limit:- The radius of the skill is limited to 100 meters. More information:- A skill whose limitations could be broken depending on the anger of the spirit beast. ''An attacking skill. Not bad.'' Ajax already knew that the golden bear kings will have more attacking types of skills. So, he was not surprised by that attack as he proceeded to check the next skill awakened by the Arcane spirit turtle. ''Ding, Skill name:- Great arcane refiner (level 1). Effects:- 1) It increases the limitations of the skill ''Universal arcane refiner'' from three times to five times per month. 2) Everything refined by the skill ''Universal arcane refiner'' will give double items. ''Holy heavens.'' Even though Ajax had already expected the skill to be powerful just from the name alone; however, he didn''t expect the skill to have two effects and both of them wereplimenting another powerful skill ''Universal arcane refiner''. ''With this, I can get all the good items two times.'' After controlling his shock, a huge smile appeared on Ajax''s face. ''You can go and rx now.'' Soon, Ajax asked all his summons to take some rest as he took a stroll in the inner world. Currently, almost all the ces in the inner world were under construction except for the old elemental paradise. ''System, how much time left before all the elemental paradises can be constructed.'' While observing the elemental paradises that were still under construction, Ajax asked the system with a nonchnt look on his face. Since he would not further upgrade the elemental paradises while they were still under construction and at the same time, he didn''t want to upgrade the already existing elemental paradise because their grade was already very high and if they continued to upgrade them, his spirit points would be over and the new elemental paradises would remain in the lower grades. Ajax wanted all the elemental paradises to be around the same grade; otherwise, it would be seen as he was making partiality and it might even cause some issue among his summons. ''Ding, It will take exactly 10 hours 54 minutes before all the elemental paradises in the inner world arepletely constructed. ''Okay.'' Ajax nodded his head beforeing out of the inner world. Among his ''spend list'', the elemental paradisees first. So, he didn''t spend his spirit points on the elemental spirit stone of the elite general realm before the sess rate was very low. So, he just kept the spirit points without spending for now. "Since the demon fox tribe has sessfully acknowledged me as their master, there is only one tribe left and as long as I make that tribe acknowledge me as their master, I can go back to the purple stone world and enter the sacred pool of the royal family." Ajax was still unable to believe that the tribe leader Deon and his tribesmen had acknowledged him as their leader without needing him to say a few things. Moreover, he just wanted to finish the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds''. So that, he could be back by the time the sacred pool was opened. ''Before challenging the Tailed spirit fox tribe, I need to ask the tribe leader Deon and Uncle Errol a few questions like what is that special demonic energy and why did he get tattoos when the fox tribes acknowledged him but didn''t get any tattoos when the bird tribes swore their allegiance to him.'' Actually, after waking up from his conscious state, Ajax had a few questions in his mind; however, at that time, he was very weak to even think properly, much less understand the answers to his questions. So, he wanted to ask them now. ''Also, I have to increase the cultivation of Ghost.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked out of the huge room. He could upgrade any three spirit beasts'' cultivation from rank 5 to rank 6; however, earlier, he only upgraded two of his contracted spirits and stored thest spot for the three-eyed ghost fox. After meeting his father, Ajax allowed the three-eyed ghost fox to stay with his father. So, he was not staying in the inner world. "Leader." As soon as he came out, both the fox tribe leaders bowed their heads a little as they greeted them. "Huh?" Ajax was surprised to see the sudden appearance of the tribe leader Deon and Uncle Errol just as he came out of the room that made him frown. ****** Emily_Walker_0059, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 896: Origins of the Special Demon Energy.

Chapter 896: Origins of the Special Demon Energy.

"Leader, we are waiting for your first order." Both Errol and Deon said at the same time that made Ajax bitterly shake his head as he thought inside his head, ''It looks like they were waiting for me for a while now.'' With a nce, Ajax could say that they were eagerly waiting for him to receive their first order. Compared to Errol, Deon was a lot more excited because his ancestor had suggested that Ajax would definitely have a bright future as long as he wakes up from this earlier predicament. So, every order he received from Ajax had to bepleted at any cost. So, his Demon fox tribe would notg behind the Ghost fox tribe. As long as his tribe bes more powerful by following Ajax, then he would be greatly respected by theter generations of the Demon fox tribe. So, Deon didn''t want to miss any chance that might help his tribe be closer to Ajax. Simrly, Errol was also waiting for Ajax''s orders. Even though his son was already a contracted spirit beast of Ajax, as a father he didn''t want to use his son to be closer to Ajax; instead, he wanted to use his own hard work. "Your first order will be ''Rx''." Seeing through their intentions, Ajax revealed a slight smile as he gave his first order. "Yes, leader. I will go andplete it." Just like earlier, both the tribe leaders thought it was some kind of task and turned back to leave Ajax; however, after thinking about it, they revealed a bitter smile on their faces before turning their heads back at Ajax. "Have youpleted the task, already?" Ajax asked with a surprised look on his face which was obviously a mild mock for both the tribe leaders for acting like children who want attention from their parents. "Sorry, leader." Both the tribe leaders apologised with a deep bow before waiting for Ajax''s reply. "In my eyes, all tribes under me are equal. So, there is no need to fight with one another." Seeing that the tribe leaders were apologizing, Ajax exined them a few things before asking, "By the way, I have some questions for you. Why don''t youe inside." Since they were already at the door, Ajax invited them into the room. "Leader, you can ask us anything and we will try our best to answer them to you." After entering the room, both the tribe leaders nodded their heads. "Hmm." Nodding his head, Ajax looked at the tribe leader Deon and asked, "What is the demonic energy you used to control me in our earlier fight?" Ajax was curious about the demonic energy used by the tribe leader Deon because generally, the demonic energy should be like any other energies, should temper his body when absorbed into the body. However, the demonic energy used by the tribe leader Deon was way more powerful, which even made the system mistake its judgement for the first time. So, he asked it to know more about the special demonic energy used by the tribe leader Deon. "It is special demon energy that came from one of the greater worlds that was ruled by the demon. It is the most powerful demon energy I have ever seen but I am lucky enough to carry one of my tribe''s artifacts. So, I used it to capture this special demonic energy." The tribe leader Deon exined to Ajax how he got the special demonic energy. "Huh? How did it enter into this world in the first ce?" After hearing those words, Ajax asked another question with a frown. The special demonic energy would note into this world on its own, right? "About that, I don''t know but I guessed there will be only one of the two options." The tribe leader Deon shook his head; however, he continued saying about two of his assumptions regarding the special demonic energy. "Either someone must have intentionally thrown it here or a demonized being from the Greater world must have entered into this world and before he could kill anyone, he? or she must have died." The tribe leader Deon finished his exnation and waited for Ajax''s reply. "Didn''t it try to enter into your body before you could capture it? Don''t tell me you are faster than the demonic energy." After hearing everything, Ajax asked the tribe leader Deon another question. It was very obvious that the special demonic energy should have possessed the tribe leader Deon because it was very powerful. Moreover, Ajax doubts that the tribe leader Deon had any idea about the special demon energy. At most, he would have thought it was just demon energy. "Leader is right! I was lucky that before I encountered the special demon energy, it already possessed the weakest spirit beast of the western foxnds. No matter how much the special demon energy tried, it can''t increase the battle prowess of a spirit beast that didn''t have any potential and at most, it would reach? rank 3." "So, when I saw the weakest spirit beast fighting me with a strength equivalent to low-grade rank 6 spirit beast, I was careful and just after I killed the spirit beast, I saw the pitch ck-coloured energye out of its body." The tribe leader Deon''s expression became proud all of a sudden as he continued to exin, "With a nce, I was sure it was special demon energy. So, I used my tribe''s ''Ancient gourd'' to catch it. With time, I started controlling it a little." After a lengthy exnation, the tribe leader Deon could not help but sigh because his special demon energy was gone now. "Oh." After hearing the tribe leader Deon''s words, Ajax could not help but frown because he felt it was definitely thrown into this by someone to destroy the world but he wondered why they wanted to destroy this world. ***** Lend_Shababy, thanks for the RING. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 897: Myths about the Tattoos

Chapter 897: Myths about the Tattoos

# Extra chapter The chances of a special type ofo demon energy from one of the greater worlds in the five elemental world are very low whenpared to the chances of its appearance due to intentionally throwing it here, which is very high. So, Ajax wondered about it. ''I wonder if Master Ren knows about it.'' Since Master Ren is a cultivator above the King realm, Ajax thought of asking him about the special demon energy. However, for that, he needed to wait until he met Master Ren, which was definitely nowhere near. "I give something in return for your special demon energy." Even though the tribe leader Deon used the special demon energy to attack him, he didn''t have any intentions of killing Ajax back then and Ajax knew it. So, he felt bad for absorbing the special demon energy into his body. Moreover, he even got a new trump card that was the demonized form. So, he decided to give something to the tribe leader Deon. "There is no need for anything in return, leader. Maybe it was fate that the special demon energy reached you through me." As for the tribe leader Deon, how could he have the guts to expect something from Ajax where Ajax nearly died in the process after absorbing his special demon energy. So, he hurriedly shook his head. "Don''t worry. Even though it nearly cost me my life, I benefited from it. So, I will remember this one." Ajax revealed a slight smile and asked the tribe leader Deon to not worry about it. "Thank you, leader." Hearing Ajax''s words, the tribe leader Deon felt relieved as he hurriedly thanked Ajax. "Uncle Errol." Nodding his head at the tribe leader Deon, Ajax looked at the ghost fox tribe leader as he called him. "Yes, leader." Errol replied as he waited for Ajax''s question. When Errol addressed Ajax as ''Leader'', Ajax didn''t stop him because he knew that Errol was adamant about calling him that. So, without bothering about it, he asked a question to both the tribe leaders. "What is the use of these tattoos?" When he asked the system about the uses of the tattoos on his hands, the system informed him that he had to find out about them on his own. So, he asked both the tribe leaders about the tattoos because they were the reason why the tattoos appeared on his hands. "Th...this¡­.I don''t know, leader." Both the tribe leaders looked at the tattoos on Ajax''s hands and they were shocked before shaking their heads. "Huh? You don''t know? How is that possible?" Ajax frowned when he heard the reply from the two tribe leaders. "Leader, even though I don''t know about the uses of the tattoos, I remember reading about them somewhere in one of my ancestor''s records. If you give permission, I will order my elders to search for information on the tattoos." After seeing Ajax''s frown, the tribe leader Deon thought for a moment before remembering something about the tattoo. "Sure. Go." Ajax nodded his head as he gave permission to the tribe leader Deon to work on it. After receiving Ajax''s permission, the tribe leader rushed out of the room to order his elders to work on the information for the tattoos in their ancestor''s records. "What about you, Uncle Errol? Do you have any clue about it other than the fact it is rted to your tribe?" Seeing that the tribe leader Deon left the room, Ajax looked at Errol before asking him about the tattoos. Since the tribe leader Deon remembered something, Ajax felt Errol must know something about it. So, he asked it while pointing at the transparent three-eyed fox''s tattoo. "During the destruction of my tribe, all the records and treasured items were destroyed. Even though I know something about them, I am not sure whether it was urate or not." Errol tried to remember something and replied to Ajax with an uncertain look on his face. "No problem. Just say what you remember." Ajax asked him to say whatever he knew about the tattoos. As for whether it was true or not, he could use the system''s ''Pay to know feature'' to verify it. "It is very rare for someone to get the tattoo of the tribe when the tribe acknowledges. So, we were shocked to see the tattoos on your hands, Master." Soon Errol started exining what he knew about the tattoos, "There were myths about the tattoos from the ancient times that they would give the ancient skills of the tribe. Some even said that the one who gets the tattoo might even turn into the true form of that tribe." ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard Errol''s words. "Master, just like I said, they are myths. As for whether they were true or not, I don''t know about it." Seeing that shocked look on Ajax''s face, Errol hurriedly informed Ajax. ''Hmm'' Controlling his emotions, Ajax nodded his head and acted nonchntly before asking the system in his head, ''System, use the ''Pay to know'' tab to confirm whether the statements said? by Errol are true or false.'' Since the system asked him to find out on his own, Ajax found out something; however, he wanted to confirm it with the system. So, he asked the system hoping it would give a reply to him. ''Ding, The host can''t use the system''s help regarding the tattoos of the tribe. He should confirm what he learned on his own. However, the system coldly rejected his request to use the ''Pay to know'' feature and asked him to find out on his own. ''Sigh'' Seeing that, Ajax could not help but shake his head and silently thought, ''I hope the tribe leader Deon finds something useful about the tattoos from his ancestor''s records.'' ''As for the myths, I hope it bes true, then I will have another trump card while fighting my enemies.'' Ajax was quite excited about the myths and hoped them to be true. **** cageraymortal, Butterfly_Summoner and MagnusChase2020, thanks for the BALLOONS. Chapter 898: Easy way to complete the mission

Chapter 898: Easy way toplete the mission

Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about the tattoos as there is no concrete information on them. He kept all his hopes on the tribe leader Deon and his tribe''s elders. "Uncle Errol, take this. It will be useful for you in developing your tribe." Once he put a hold on his thoughts about the tattoos on his hands, Ajax took out an item from his inventory before throwing it at Errol. "This is?" Errol didn''t know what the potion bottle was used for. So, he asked Ajax about it. "Just open the cork and smell it for a second. You will know." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Errol. ''Huh?'' As for Errol, he didn''t understand why Ajax was smiling; however, remembering Ajax''s earlier words, he became a little expectant. Even though he didn''t know how the potion in his hand would help him in developing his tribe, Errol knew Ajax would not joke about the things like the development of his tribe. ''T...this is...'' The moment Errol took a whiff after opening the bottle cork, he hurriedly closed it fearing the potion might lose its effect. Although the potion didn''t have any effect on the cultivation of the ghost fox tribesmen, it was just like a heavy temptation that would make any ghost fox crawl out of their hiding ces. "That''s right! It is a Ghost fox luring potion. Find a suitable ce for your tribe and drop it. As long as there are any ghost foxes in a 100000 kilometers radius, they will gather at the ce where you drop the potion." After seeing the shocked look on Errol''s face, Ajax revealed a satisfied smile on his face as he exined the name and the effect of the potion in Errol''s hands. "Thank you, Master Ajax. I will try my best to develop my tribe so that we can be helpful in times of need." Errol gave Ajax a deep bow as he replied to Ajax with a face full of gratitude. "Just focus on developing your tribe." Ajax nodded his head as he suddenly stood up from his ce and said, "I want to challenge the tribe leaders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe." Since he got some answers to his questions, Ajax wanted to finish thest challenge in the western foxnds beforepleting the mission ''Conquer the western foxnds''. "Master Ajax, I have a better n for you to take control of the Tailed spirit fox tribe." Hearing Ajax''s words, Errol was not surprised because, from the time he met Ajax, Errol noticed that Ajax wanted to take control of the Western foxnds. Since he already killed the 27 fox tribes groomed by the fire group and the Demon fox tribe acknowledged him as their leader, there was only one tribe left in the Western foxnd. As long as Ajax takes control over it, then the Western foxnds would be sessful under his control just like the Shixato wilds. "What?" Ajax was surprised to hear Errol''s words. Actually, Ajax felt that Errol would try to stop him from challenging the tribe leader of the Tailed spirit fox tribe; however, he didn''t expect Errol to support him much less he had a n to take control over the Tailed spirit fox tribe within a short time. "Say it." Nevertheless, he was excited as he hurriedly asked Errol about the n. "It is simple. Just take me and the tribe leader Deon with you before asking him that you want them to acknowledge you as their master." Since Errol was finally able to help Ajax with something, he was excited as he exined his n to Ajax. "Huh? Is that it? Will they agree just like that?" Ajax raised his brows when he heard Errol''s n as he continued asking, "Didn''t you say all three tribes have the same set of conditions while epting someone as your leader?" "Yes, but unlike us, the current tribe leader of the Tailed spirit fox tribe didn''t like to believe the ancestor''s records much." Errol looked at Ajax as he continued exining, "He is more like a fox man who believes that as long as you are strong and other tribe leaders are following, he will not mind following you." "Interesting. Looks like I can leave this world faster than I thought." After hearing Errol''s words, Ajax felt the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds'' would bepleted sooner than he anticipated. So, of course, he was excited as he said to Errol, "Then, what are we waiting for? Let''s go." With that thought in his mind, Ajax moved out of the room without waiting for Errol''s reply. As for Errol, he didn''t mind following Ajax to the Tailed spirit fox tribe and help Ajax in convincing the tribe leader Cren to follow Ajax. "Master, wait here for a moment. I will go and bring the tribe leader Deon." Just as they came out of the tribe leader''s mansion, Errol asked Ajax to wait while he would go look for the tribe leader Deon. Since they wanted to convince the tribe leader Cren of the Tailed spirit fox tribe, they needed to have both tribe leaders. So, Ajax nodded his head and allowed Errol to go. ''Ghost,e here.'' Seeing that he was alone, he sent a voice transmission to the three-eyed ghost fox, who was ying somewhere in the Demon fox tribe with other Demon fox youngsters. Since he had nothing to do, he wanted to increase the strength of the three-eyed ghost fox whose cultivation was still at low-grade rank 5. Moreover, the ghost foxes had some powerful skills and Ajax wanted Ghost to finish challenging all the halls on the first floor of the Battle Tower. ''I hope it will awaken some cool skills after upgrading its strength.'' ''Swoosh'' While Ajax was praying to the heavens, the three-eyed ghost fox appeared in his hands out of nowhere. ***** qqqqon, thanks for the GRIMOIRE Cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 899: Four-eyed Ghost Fox

''Master, I am here.'' As soon as the three-eyed ghost appeared in Ajax''s hands, it sent a voice transmission to Ajax. "It looks like you are enjoying it a lot here." Although he didn''t see or ask what the three-eyed ghost fox was doing, looking at the small ck fox in his hands, Ajax could feel it was happierpared to the time when he was with him. "Yes. Master." Ghost nodded his head as he asked Ajax, "Is there anything important, Master?" Since Ghost was still a child, Ajax didn''t mind the hastiness of his contracted spirit beast. "I will not waste so much of your time." Ajax replied to Ghost with a slight smile on his face as he didn''t bother to exin the reason; instead, he directly ced his right hand on the ck fox''s small head before ordering the system, ''Increase his cultivation to low-grade rank 6.'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said those words, a bright light appeared out of nowhere as it covered Ajax and the three-eyed ghost fox. ''Hey, look. What is happening there?'' ''Isn''t that Master Ajax?'' ''I guess, he is helping him increase his cultivation.'' ''What?'' ''I heard that there are some cultivators whose essence of nature is so pure that just a small amount of it would help others increase their cultivation.'' ''Really? Where did you learn that?'' ''Where will I learn that? Of course, I leant it from our history sses but you never listen to them and forever remain ignorant.'' In the distance, a few demon fox tribe''s youngsters, who were attracted by the shining light covering Ajax and the three-eyed ghost fox, started discussing among themselves. What they discussed was absolutely true. If a cultivator has a pure essence of nature in his spirit consciousness, he could use it to help other beings whose cultivation was below him. However, soon, they rejected that idea because Ajax''s cultivation was just level 2 general realm whereas the three-eyed ghost fox has the cultivation of low-grade rank 5. ''Hey, look, the light is vanishing.'' The bright light that was covering Ajax and Ghost didn''tst for much longer before it started disappearing without a trace. ''What?'' ''The three-eyed ghost fox''s cultivation increased.'' ''Not only that, it''s mutated again.'' Soon, the youngsters of the demon fox tribe were surprised at the changes in the small ck fox in Ajax''s hands. ''It looks like our ancestor is right about Master Ajax.'' ''That''s right! By following him, our tribe will be more powerful.'' ''Reaching the King realm is not a dream for me anymore. It is my goal now.'' ''Likewise.'' Suddenly, they remembered their ancestor''s words to their tribe leader and felt they were doing the right thing by following Master Ajax. Nevertheless, they didn''t want to disturb Master Ajax; instead, they rushed for their next session of sses. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s spirit beast three-eyed ghost fox for mutating into a four-eyed ghost fox. ''Ding, It awakened two new skills, ''Illusion eye'' and ''Ghost realm''. Please check more information on the ''contracted spirit beast'' section. ''Woah. Not only it is mutated but it also awakened two new skills. As expected, you will never disappoint me.'' Ajax looked at the small ck fox in his arms and praised. Even though it was mutated, there was only a single change in its appearance and it was on its forehead. Just above its third eye, there was, now, another eye. While the third eye had a transparent eyelid over it, the fourth eye had a grey eyelid. Hearing his praises, Ghost revealed a proud look on his face. ''Haha'' Even though it was trying to look proud and aloof, his actions only made it even more cute that made Ajaxugh. ''Now, I will see your new skills.'' While maintaining thatugh, Ajax opened the contracted spirit beasts section and focused on the Ghost fox. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Four-eyed Ghost Fox (Ghost). Strength:- Low-grade rank 6 Skills:- Phantom sh, Shadow w, Ghost Meteor Trap, Teleport, Illusion eye and Ghost realm. Soon, the information on the four-eyed ghost fox appeared in front of him and looking at the powerful skills on the holographic screen, Ajax could not help but feel excited. For him, the more powerful the spirit beast and the elemental spirit was and the more powerful their skill was, it was a better thing for him while going against the powerful enemies. ''Now, let''s check the newly awakened skills.'' Since Ajax had already checked the ghost fox''s older skills, he was only focusing on the newly awakened skills. ''Ding, Skill name:- Illusion eye. Effect:- As long as the opponent''s battle prowess is less than the spirit beast, he or she would get caught in an illusion when the spirit beast opens its third eye. Note:- The cultivators with more inner demons in them will die without a doubt once they get caught in the illusion. ''Cool'' Just from the name alone, Ajax already guessed it would be more powerful and as he expected, it was a powerful skill. ''I hope the next skill is? even more powerful.'' After seeing the information on the ''Illusion eye'', Ajax''s expectations rose even more as he eagerly looked at the information on the next skill ''Ghost realm''. ''Ding, Skill name:- Ghost realm Effect:- When the skill is used, the spirit beast''s fourth eye will be opened that sucks the opponents into the eyes. Note:- 1) Anyone below the King realm could be sucked into his fourth eye called ''Ghost realm''. As for the King realm cultivators, if they were careless, they might even get sucked into the eye. 2) In the Ghost realm, the opponent can only fight with elementalws or cultivatorws. Even thosews would be weakend a little. Opponents can''t use their skills inside the ghost realm. More information:- This skill is rted to the fourth eye and the most powerful skill for a four-eyed ghost fox. ''Holy heavens.'' ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 2.

Chapter 900: Flying towards the Tailed Spirit Fox tribe

''Holy heavens'' After seeing the information on ''Ghost realm'', Ajax was shocked to the core as he didn''t expect the skill to be so powerful that even the King realm cultivator would be pulled into the eye. ''Moreover, once anyone enters into his eyes, they can''t use their skills except for the elementalws or cultivators. With this skill, as long Ghost learned an elementalw, then it could even sneak attack the attack realm cultivators.'' When he thought of the possibility of the four-eyed ghost fox fighting the King realm cultivators even before entering the King realm, Ajax was unable to control his excitement. "Son?" While Ajax was feeling excited about the future battles of the four-eyed ghost fox, he heard a surprised voice from the distance. It was, of course, Errol who went to bring the tribe leader Deon and when he saw the four-eyed ghost fox in Ajax''s arm, he froze in his ce in shock as he called his son. "It''s me, father. Master did some magic which not only helped me enter rank 6 but I even mutated and became a four-eyed ghost fox." Ghost jumped into Errol''s arms as he exined how he became a four-eyed ghost fox. "Did you thank your master yet? Or still acting childish like you used to do in the past?" Errol revealed a grateful look at Ajax before reprimanding his son because right now, Ghost was showing a proud look on his face. "Thank you for helping me, Master." All of a sudden, Ghost remembered that he didn''t even thank his master for helping him with his mutation and hurriedly thanked him. "As your master, this is what I should do and as for you, I think you know what you need to do, right?" Ajax revealed a slight smile as he said to Ghost and he continued saying, "Also, you have one day to enjoy as much as you want. After that, you need to train in the battle tower." Last time, Ghost was killed before he had low cultivation; however, currently, he is a rank 6 spirit beast along with two powerful skills. So, Ajax wanted to throw the four-eyed ghost fox into the battle tower toplete the first floor in the battle. As for why he was focused more on the four-eyed ghost fox because he has cleared the highest number of halls (six) and at the same time, he even has a trump card ''Skip hall card''. ''I wonder how powerful the second floor''s hall guardians will be.'' Ajax was curious about the hall guardians on the second floor. "Yes, Master." When he heard Ajax''s words, Ghost became excited and nodded his head at Ajax as though he could not wait to enter the battle tower. ''He even has a battle tower? I wonder how many more valuable items he has. It looks like my son formed a contract with the right person.'' As for Errol, he didn''t say anything to Ajax because he had every right to train his son. Moreover, he was happy to see his son getting excited about the training. "Good." Ajax was satisfied with the four-eyed ghost fox''s attitude towards training because when a spirit beast or elemental spirit or a cultivator be powerful, they will not take the training as seriously as they used to take in the past. However, looking at the four-eyed ghost fox''s attitude, Ajax could clearly see that he didn''t be like that. "So, you two tribe leaders are ready to go to the Tailed spirit fox tribe?" After nodding his head, Ajax turned his head towards the two tribe leaders and asked. "Yes, Master Ajax." Errol nodded his head as though he was ready to go out; however, there was no reply from the tribe leader Deon. Currently, Deon was still in shock at seeing a four-eyed ghost fox because ording to what he knew, even the ancestor of the Ghost fox tribe was only a three-eyed ghost fox. So, what does a four-eyed ghost fox indicate? As long as he was nurtured properly, the four-eyed ghost fox is going to be a King realm spirit beast within no time. ''I have to find a good youngster from my tribe and make him the contracted spirit beast of Master Ajax.'' Inside his head, the tribe leader Deon was nning to bring out the true potential of his tribe by making one of the highly talented youngsters form a contract with Ajax. "Old Deon, are you daydreaming or what?" Seeing that there was no response from the tribe leader Deon, Errol nudged him to wake him up from his thoughts. "I am here...I am here." As though he had awakened from his shock, the tribe leader Deon nodded his head without knowing why he nodded his head. Seeing the tribe leader Deon, Ajax didn''t know whether to cry orugh. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything as he turned his head before flying into the sky using the skill ''Lightning cloud steps''. "Let''s go." Before Errol or Deon could know what was happening, they were picked up by three bird tribesmen before flying into the sky. Simrly, when Ajax had reached a certain height, he was caught by Raweth. "To the Tailed spirit fox tribe." Ajax shouted as he gave the order to all the bird tribesmen. This time, Ajax was only taking a few tribesmen along with him and not the entire 300 bird tribesmen. "At least this time, let''s hope everything goes as nned." These days, nothing is going as he nned. So, Ajax was hoping for no mishaps this time. ''I need to be powerful and develop my tribe along with my son.'' ''I need to find?a suitable candidate from my tribe to be master Ajax''s contracted spirit beast.'' While Ajax was hoping nothing to go wrong, Errol was thinking about the development of his tribe whereas the tribe leader Deon was thinking about making someone as Ajax''s contracted spirit beast from his tribe. **** Sarhasr, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON.

Ajax was, of course, oblivious to the thoughts that were running in the heads of the tribe leader Deon and the tribe leader Errol as he focused onpleting the mission as soon as possible before going back to the Purple stone world. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax, two fox tribe leaders and three bird tribe leaders, continued to fly towards the Tailed spirit fox tribe. .... In the Zrochester province, "So, what do you guys think about my n?" While Ajax was focusing onpleting the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds'', in the mercenary guild, Captain Edmond was nning something as he asked Udo and Rulf who were standing opposite to him. "The nning is good but you will be overwhelmed with most of the top-level cultivators and if you can''t kill them all, not only you but Udo and your entire squad will be killed." After hearing the entire n from Edmond, Udo nodded his head; however, Rulf frowned because he felt it was very risky. Even a slight mishap could kill the other squad members of the Hazegrove mercenary squad. So, Rulf was a little doubtful in giving his approval. "So, I suggest you wait until the Guild masteres back from his secret realm. Then, we can directly ask them in front of the entire world." After thinking for a moment, Rulf suggested something to Edmond. "They nned to kill me. So, I want to kill them with my squad alone. I don''t want the help of the mercenary guild. Moreover, I want to show? the other greater families that my Hazegrove mercenary squad is not be messed with." As soon as he finished his words, Edmond signalled Udo before turning back to leave the mercenary guild. Previously, Edmond and Udo received a mission from the Dusthorn family through the mercenary guild. Later, they found out that it was a trapid for them by the family. On the same day, Edmond swore to erase the Dusthorn family and at the same time, he wanted to give a warning to the other great families, so that they would not bother ying tricks with him or his squad. However, Rulf asked him to wait until the champions contest and Edmond controlled his anger but now Rulf is asking him to wait until the Guild masteres back. But, why would Edmond continue to wait when he had the confidence to destroy the Dusthorn. So, while waiting for the guild master, he started creating his own n to destroy the Dusthorn family along with his squad. Even though their n was not perfect, Edmond thought he could pull it off as long as he and Udo were careful. "Right now, I and Udo are the only members left in the squad. As for Ajax, I am unable to contact him. So, even if it fails, Udo and I are the only ones who are going to die. So, there is no need to worry." Just when he was about to exit the room, Edmond stopped in his tracks as he turned back and said those words before leaving the room along with Udo. ''Sigh'' Looking at the disappearing silhouette of Edmond and Udo, Rulf could not help but sigh before muttering, ''Looks like I need to help him.'' Even though Rulf didn''t say that openly, he knew how much his guild master valued Edmond. So, he didn''t want anything to happen to Edmond. ... In the Western foxnds, "Hey, look. Are they flying towards us?" "Why would bird tribesmen appear in this region?" "Wait a second. Look, the group even has two fox tribe leaders." "What''s more, there is even a human. Looks like he was the one who challenged the two fox tribes and as our tribe leader expected, he is here to challenge our tribe leader." "It sure looks like it. It''s been so long since I have seen our tribe leader fight. I hope there will be a good fight ahead." In the Tailed spirit fox tribe, all the tribesmen saw the appearance of a group who were flying towards their tribe and started whispering to themselves. "Someone inform the tribe leader about them." While the tribesmen were whispering to themselves, one of the elders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe had also seen them and shouted at his disciple to inform them about the arrival of Ajax. "Yes, master." That disciple rushed into the tribe leader''s house without wasting any time. "I am waiting for you." Before the disciple could inform the tribe leader Cren, the tribe leader Cren himself appeared above his mansion. "Uncle Errol, wait for a second." Seeing that the tribe leader Cren was excited to see their appearance, Errol wanted to convince him into acknowledging Ajax as his master. However, before Errol could say anything, Ajax stopped him from speaking before ordering the bird tribesmen tond. "So, you are the one who wants to challenge me? Only a level 2 general realm?" Simrly, the tribe leader Cren also jumped from his mansion andnded right in front of Ajax before assessing Ajax''s cultivation. Before he saw Ajax, he was excited about the challenge; however, after assessing Ajax''s cultivation, the tribe leader Cren looked disappointed as he looked at the two fox tribe leaders. ''I wonder why they acknowledged him as their master? Is he hiding his real cultivation?'' Looking at Errol and Deon, the tribe leader Cren started wondering about Ajax''s real cultivation. "That''s right! My real cultivation is level 2 general realm and I want to challenge you." Ajax was annoyed by hearing the same thing again and again about his cultivation and could not help but seriously challenge him. Actually, he wanted the two tribe leaders to convince them but while flying towards the Tailed spirit fox tribe, he felt that by doing so, it would take time before the tribe leader Cren acknowledged him from the bottom of his heart. So, he decided to challenge him. **** Mana_cid, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 902: Defeat the Servant before challenging the Master

Chapter 902: Defeat the Servant before challenging the Master

# Extra chapter "I don''t know where your confidencees from but since you are able to make them acknowledge you as their master, I will ept your challenge." While pointing at Deon and Errol, the tribe leader Cren replied to Ajax when he challenged him for a duel. "I have my own methods. So, don''t worry." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face before asking the tribe leader Cren, "So, where shall we fight?" "What is the hurry? Before I fight you, you have to prove yourself. As long as you defeat my servant, I will dly fight you." Tribe leader Cren signalled someone beside him before pointing at the distant open fields, he continued, "You can fight him over there." "After I defeat him, don''t ask me to fight someone else. It is just a waste of time for me." Even though he was dissatisfied with the tribe leader Cren''s words, Ajax knew it was very hard for him to make others believe that he could defeat the level 10 elite general realm cultivators. So, to be on the safe side, he said to the tribe leader Cren that he would fight his servant first and next, he would only fight him. "Sure." Looking at the confident look on Ajax''s face, the tribe leader Cren could not help but be impressed a little; however, he thought, ''Let''s see after you defeat my servant.'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax and the old servant of the tribe leader Cren moved to the open space in the distance. "You can have the first move." The old man didn''t say these words because he was confident in defeating Ajax, he said it because this was how he fights. "Sure." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face before using ''Teleport''. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used one of the effects of the ''Lightning cloud steps'', Ajax disappeared from his spot and appeared right in front of the old man. ''Demon w.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax used his second attack as his hands turned demon with sharp ws protruding out of his hands. ''Too slow.'' Just when Ajax was about to w out the old servant of the tribe leader Cren, he heard the old man speak in a calm tone before throwing a punch at Ajax. ''Teleport'' Ajax didn''t expect the old man to be too fast; however, aftering out of the demonized form, Ajax''s senses reached a whole new realm. So, without wasting any time, Ajax dodged the attack by using ''Teleport''. "Huh?" Looking at Ajax''s sudden dodge from his ''Spirit punch'', the old man raised his eyebrows before saying, "You have great sense, young man. No wonder, you are confident in challenging my master; however, to defeat him, you need more than this." As soon as he finished those words, the old man disappeared from his spot. ''Where did he go?'' After knowing how powerful his senses had grown after going through the demonized state, Ajax was not worried about getting sneaked by the old man. So, he closed his eyes and searched for the old man. ''Swoosh'' ''So, you are here.'' Just after closing his eyes, Ajax found out where the old man was hiding. So, he revealed a slight smile on his face before using, ''Advanced spatial des.'' Since he already found out the location where the old man was hiding, Ajax didn''t waste any time before using his spatial des. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' Soon, a portal opened at the ce where the old man was previously standing and it released hundreds of spatial des into the ground. ''Boom'' There was a small explosion in that ce and it waspletely covered in dust. ''Did I get him?'' Ajax used his senses to check for the old man in the smoke. "Are you looking for me? Tame my spirit punch." All of a sudden, the old man appeared right behind him as he asked Ajax with an expressionless look on his face. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' "How is that possible?" Ajax revealed a shocked look on his face because racking his brain for the next move could not only help him dodge the iing spirit punches from three simr-looking old men. That''s right! Instead of one old man, currently, there are three old men who are attacking him. "You are very easy to fool, kid. If you can''t see through my tricks, then it is almost impossible for you to see through my master''s tricks." The old man was very confident that Ajax could not dodge his attacks. ''I can''t use ''Teleport if I get surrounded as it is not a real teleportation skill. So, I can only do it.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and stopped thinking about the iing spirit punches from the three old men. ''Only one of them will be real but I am not sure as I am unable to differentiate between them. Anyway, I will stop thinking about it and see how strong my grade 5 body is.'' That''s right! The reason why Ajax didn''t bother to dodge the iing attacks was he wanted to see how powerful his body had be after going through the demonized state. Before he could turn demonic, his body was already at grade 4 because it was tempered with fire and lightning. After going through the demonized state, his body was tempered with the special demonic energy making it even more powerful and helped his body reach the grade 5 realm. ''Huh? Why is he not dodging?'' As for the old man and his two clones, they were shocked when they saw that Ajax was maintaining a calm look on his face and just from a look, he could say that Ajax was not bothering about dodging the attack. ''What should I do? Master asked me not to kill him...'' The old man fell into a dilemma and before he couldplete his thoughts, he received a voice transmission, ''Use your full strength.'' ***** Sven_Fangmann, cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOONS. Chapter 903: Easy victory

Chapter 903: Easy victory

''Use your full strength.'' The voice in the old man''s head belongs to the tribe leader Cren. ''Okay, master.'' Even though his master had asked him to hold back his strength a little earlier, he soon changed his order. Once he heard another order from his master, the old man didn''t understand the reason but he was very happy to oblige. "Can you help me understand why you acknowledge him as your master?" After giving his order to his servant, the tribe leader Cren looked at Errol and Deon and asked them. "Even though he is a summoner¡­.." "Old Deon, don''t bother exining anything to him." Before the tribe leader Deon could say something, Errol stopped him from saying furthermore and he looked at the tribe leader Cren before saying, "What''s the hurry? You will find out soon enough regarding the reason why we acknowledged him as our master." While saying those words, Errol had a proud look on his face and he didn''t bother about the tribe leader Cren as he watched the interesting fight between Ajax and the servant of the tribe leader Cren. ''Huh? What is his confidence?'' The tribe leader Cren didn''t get angry at Errol''s words; instead, he had an interesting look on his face as he watched the fight. ''Boom'' The old man didn''t hold back anything as he used his full power to attack Ajax along with his clones. Soon, there was a huge explosion as three old mennded their fists on Ajax. "It looks like your master is dead." After seeing the explosion in front of him, the interesting look on the tribe leader Cren''s face disappeared as it was reced with a mock while looking at Errol and Deon. "Old Cren, you didn''t change a little bit from the past. Did you?even bother to check whether my master is alive or not with your spirit consciousness?" This time, the tribe leader Deon could not hold back his annoyance after hearing the tribe leader Cren''s words. So, he replied to the tribe leader Cren with a scoff. "Huh? So what? Even if he survived, he must be hanging on for his life. So, I suggest you pick your low-level master and leave from here." It was not the tribe leader Cren who was looking down on Ajax; instead, he already highly regarded Ajax. However, he was very confident in his servant who was with him for more than 100 years. So, if by chance Ajax was alive, the tribe leader Cren asked the other two tribe leaders to take him away. "Swoosh" "This is not over yet." "Absolute darkness." Just when the tribe leader Cren was about to go back into his mansion, he heard a loud voice from the smoke and turned his head back towards the fight/ Soon, he saw a silhouette appear out of the smoke and jumped exactly in the middle of his servant and his clones. ''What is that skill?'' The tribe leader Cren only heard Ajax''s words and before he knew what was happening, he saw the old servant and his clones fall to the ground while clutching their heads before groaning in pain. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Just after a couple of seconds, the two clones turned into small light dots before disappearing into nothingness. As for the real old man, he was groaning in pain that made the onlookers of the Tailed spirit fox tribesmen shake in fear. As for the tribe leader Cren, he stood in his ce with a face full of shock and finally understood why the two fox tribe leaders acknowledged him as their master. "As long as you admit defeat, I will let you live." Since Ajax had to defeat the old man before challenging the tribe leader Cren, he didn''t want to retract his skill unless the old man admitted defeat. However, for some reason, the old man didn''t admit defeat as he looked at the tribe leader Cren. "Let him go. I will fight you." How could the tribe leader Cren not know the personality of his servant who followed him for more than 100 years? So, he walked forward as he asked Ajax to let go of the old man from his skill. "Sure." Ajax didn''t have any hatred towards the old man or the Tailed spirit fox tribe. So, he retracted the absolute darkness skill. ''Huf Huf Only after he retracted his skills, the old servant was able to breathe as he gasped for air. "He is more powerful than we thought. You can go and take a rest." The tribe leader Cren helped the old man up from the ground as he said a few words to the old man before looking at Ajax. "You are good and I guess you waited until he let his guard down before using that skill of yours. I doubt it would have been that effective if he had his guard up." Even though the tribe leader Cren was a person who likes to fight a lot, he also likes to analyse the situations in front of him. So, ording to his analysis, Ajax was just lucky to defeat the old man. ''But that doesn''t change the fact that he has some powerful skills that might defeat the level 10 elite general realm cultivators.'' Still, the tribe leader Cren felt that he needed to be a little careful with Ajax'' otherwise, he would be defeated just like his servant. "It is still counted as a victory, right?" Ajax asked the tribe leader Cren with a slight smile on his face that made the tribe leader Cren also smile. That''s right! The tribe leader Cren''s analysis was right and if not for the old man letting his guard down, Ajax would have not got such an easy win. "You are interesting. I don''t mind following you as long as you make me use one of my trump cards." While maintaining the sight smile on his face, the tribe leader Cren gave an offer to Ajax without thinking much. **** cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 904: Ajax versus Cren

Chapter 904: Ajax versus Cren

"He is just like how he used to be." "Yeah. He is the mostpetitive one among us." When the tribe leaders Deon and Errol heard the tribe leader Cren''s words, they could not help but shake their heads. Whenever tribe leader Cren goes against something, he makes it even more interesting for himself, which motivates him to be stronger. As for Raweth, Snow and Sparrow, they were very young and hadn''t met the three fox tribe leaders before. So, they just remained calm and watched the fight that was about to start. They were not worried much about Ajax as they had enough confidence in their master. "Let''s start." Soon, the tribe leader Cren gave the signal as the fight between Ajax and the tribe leader Cren had officially begun. "Shadow clone." Ajax started the fight with the second official skill this time, and as soon as he used that skill, three simr-looking Ajax appeared beside him. ''Ding, Three clones with 80 percent of the host''s original battle prowess are created. They can fight for 10 minutes. Along with three of his clones, a system notification appeared in front of him informing him about his three shadow clones. In the beginning, he could only use one of the shadow clones; however, after the shadow clone consumed thousands of corpses, the skill was upgraded to level 3. Not only the number of shadow clones he summoned increased but the battle prowess of the summoned shadow clones also increased from 50 percent to 80 percent. "Teleport." Without wasting any time, Ajax and three of his shadow clones disappeared from their ces. ''Interesting.'' As usual, the tribe leader Cren was a little surprised when he saw that not only did Ajax summoned three of his clones but all three of them were able to use his skills. Nevertheless, the tribe leader Cren didn''t have the slightest intention of moving from his ce as he waited for Ajax and his shadow clones to attack him. "Spatial des" ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax knew that going near the tribe leader Cren was definitely not a good idea. So, he maintained 100 meters from the tribe leader Cren as Ajax surrounded him from four directions before using the ''Spatial des'' That''s right! After his skill ''Shadow clone'' upgraded to level 3, his shadow clones could use all his skills except for ''Absolute darkness'', bloodlines and titles. Looking at the spatial desing from the four directions, the tribe leader Cren revealed a slight smile on his face before saying, "You are not the only one to have the clones. I have my own clones." Just as the tribe leader Cren finished his words, six clones of the tribe leader Cren appeared around him. ''Spirit shield.'' As soon as they appeared, all six clones used the same skill and six transparent shields appeared that deflected all the iing spatial des. "Kacha" "Kacha" ''Huh?'' However, out of six transparent shields, two of them were cracked a little, making the tribe leader Cren raise his brows. ''Looks like his clones still didn''t have 100 percent of his battle prowess; otherwise, all six spirit shields would have cracked. He has great potential; however, he is still weak.'' Looking at the two cracked transparent shields, the tribe leader Cren stretched his body a little before deciding, ''Let''s see how many interesting skills he has.'' In the tribe leader Cren''s view, Ajax was an interesting human and wanted to find out more about his skills. So, he decided to hold back his full strength and that would make Ajax use his other skills and trump cards. "Huh? They are not destroyed?" Ajax was shocked when he saw his spatial des only made cracks on the spirit shields because he used 20000 units of the essence of nature in his earlier attack and it was the strongest spatial des he could release. ''It looks like he is more than stronger than a regr peak level 10 elite general realm cultivator.'' ''Wait a second. What if he learned a cultivator''sw?'' When he thought about this possibility, Ajax revealed a surprised look on his face as he looked at the tribe leader Cren in a new light. Finally, Ajax understood why Errol said that he would help him with the tribe leader Cren through words. Actually, his strongest spatial des are invincible under the King realm as long as the cultivator didn''t learn any cultivator''sw or elementalw. So, Ajax thought it was possible for the tribe leader Cren to learn a cultivator''sw. If a cultivator or an elemental spirit learned a cultivator''sw and the elementalw, even when they didn''t use it actively, their other skills will be strengthened as long as thew was rted to the samew. "By the way, I heard you are a summoner. So, you can use your elemental spirits; otherwise, it will look like I am bullying a general realm cultivator." Earlier, he got to know that Ajax was a summoner from the tribe leader Deon and a person who likes challenging fights, he wanted his opponent to use his full power while fighting against him. So, he informed Ajax that he could use his summons to fight against him. "Are you sure?" Ajax was not at all surprised when he heard those words because he got to know about the tribe leader Cren''s character while flying here. Moreover, Ajax was expecting him to say those words, which was why he didn''t summon his elemental spirits. "Why not?" When he saw the mysterious smile on Ajax''s face, the tribe leader Cren felt something was not right with Ajax; however, since he had already said those words, he was not the type to back down. So, he nodded his head before thinking, ''As a level 2 general realm cultivator, his elemental spirits must be around the same level as him. So, what is there to fear about him?'' ***** dTheImpaler13 and cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Chapter 905: Dispute

Chapter 905: Dispute

# Extra chapter Generally, the strength of the elemental spirit would not be more than one major realm from the summoner''s cultivation. Moreover, the appearance of a summoner in the five elemental world is already a rare thing. So, the tribe leader was not worried about Ajax having the elemental spirits with the cultivation of around elite general realm. ''So what? Even if he has an elemental spirit with cultivation around level 1 elite general realm, I can still defeat it with a snap of my finger.'' Thinking about his strength, the tribe leader Cren''s unknown worries disappeared without a trace. "Actually, I didn''t want to use the elemental spirits while fighting against you because of your ancestor records; However, since you want me to use them, I will be shameless and use all my power." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face as he cancelled his ''Shadow clones'' skills. "I don''t care much about the records. But as I said, as long as you use your elemental spirits to defeat me, I will dly acknowledge you as my master." After hearing the arrogant words from Ajax''s mouth, the tribe leader Cren could not take it any longer as he seriously said those words to Ajax. "Okay then. I hope you don''t go back on your words." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax shouted, "What are you waiting for? Come out and say ''Hello'' to the tribe leader Cren." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he called his summoner, except for Halo and Prophis, all the elemental spirits appeared right in front of Ajax. ''What?'' Looking at the small army of the elemental spirits in front of Ajax, the tribe leader Cren was very much surprised. ''What the hell?'' ''Did he steal all the elemental spirits from somewhere or what?'' ''How can he have some many elemental spirits?'' ''ording to what I heard, a summoner can only form an official contract with one elemental spirit for every major realm but where did he get that many elemental spirits from?'' ''Idiot, I always warned you to listen properly to the history sses. Other than official contracts, a summoner could form a contract with an unlimited number of elemental spirits.'' ''What? An unlimited number of elemental spirits?'' ''Yes. But the problem is they have to find an elemental spirit before convincing them into forming an unofficial contract with them which was another impossible task for them.'' ''So, where did he get that many elemental spirits?'' ''That is the same thing I was wondering about.'' Not only the tribe leader Cren but all the tribesmen of his Tailed spirit fox tribe were also shocked when they saw the army of the elemental spirits in front of Ajax. "So, what do you think? Are there any chances for that human to win against our tribe leader?" One of the elders from the Tailed spirit fox tribe controlled his surprise regarding the elemental spirits and asked the elders beside him. "So what if he has more elemental spirits? Only a few of them are in the elite general realm and as for the others they were only at level 1 general realm. Isn''t it obvious who will win the fight?" "Yes. It will be an easy win for our tribe leader." "Yeah." Hearing the earlier tribe elder''s words, the remaining elders came out of their surprise before giving their opinions. "It is too early for that." Even though Ajax asked Raweth to control his anger after entering the Tailed spirit fox tribe, when he heard those words, he felt like he needed to say something about his master. So, he scoffed at the elders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe. "Kid, who gave you the permission to talk when elders are discussing something?" "You still need to grow before you understand what we are talking about?" "I wonder what the Sun crow tribe leader and elders are doing without teaching manners to him." "It''s truly a pity that the three tribe leaders from the Shixato wilds stopped teaching manners to their young birdmen." When they heard Raweth''s words, the elders became furious because how could a young birdman say that they were wrong. As the elders of the strongest fox tribe in the Western foxnds, they were greatly respected by everyone. So, when Raweth scoffed at them, they could not help but be more angry. When the first elders were reprimanding Raweth, Snow, Sparrow and the rest of the bird tribesmen became serious as though they were ready to fight the elders. However, they were stopped by Errol. But, who would have thought the elders would scold them, even more, when they were stopped by Errol and Deon. Moreover, the elders didn''t know the true identity of Raweth, Snow and Sparrow and thought they were just some genius youngsters of the three bird tribes of the Shixato wilds. "Two tribe leaders, please control those youngsters and teach them some manners before taking them out somewhere. If you don''t have time, I will dly help you in teaching them some manners." All of a sudden, one of the elders of the Tailed fox tribe looked at Errol and Deon and said those words. However, while talking to them, the elder was very respectful, unlike the time when they spoke to Raweth and others. ''Tribe leaders, let me fight him and prove them something.'' When Raweth heard those words, he could not help but coldlyugh inside his heart as he secretly transmitted his voice to both tribe leaders. ''Are you sure?'' Errol frowned a little for a moment before asking Raweth in the same voice transmission method. ''Absolutely. He is looking down on us very much.'' As the contracted spirit beasts of Ajax and the tribe leaders of the respective bird tribes, how could they endure the insults of the elders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe? So, Raweth nodded his head as he confidently replied back to Errol and Deon. "Very well then. You can teach him some manners." Tribe leader Errol moved aside as he said those words to the elder who wanted to teach manners to Raweth and others. ****** Cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 906: Winning with a single defensive move

Even though the tribe leader Deon and Errol didn''t see the battle prowess of Raweth, Snow and Sparrow, they were not worried about their safety. Compared to Deon, Errol didn''t have the slightest worry in him; instead, he was looking forward to the fight between Raweth and the elder who wanted to teach some manners to Raweth and others. "Are you ready to teach me some manners?" Raweth revealed a slight smile on his face as he walked towards the elder and asked him. "Huh?" However, the elder didn''t expect the tribe leaders to move away and what''s more, Raweth was walking towards him without any fear in his face. "Since you want me to teach you some manners, I will help you in the ce of your tribe leader." Nevertheless, the elder didn''t worry much about Raweth as he nodded his head and continued saying, "However, my way of teaching would be a little harsh. So don''t me meter if you get hurt in the process." As soon as he finished his words, he didn''t inform Raweth about the start of the fight; instead, he rushed towards Raweth in an attempt to injure him. ''Spirit punch'' The elder used the basic skill of the Tailed spirit fox tribe hoping that was enough to injure Raweth. "By the way, I forgot to tell you something. I am the current tribe leader of the Three-legged sun crow tribe." As for Raweth, he was not at all worried about the iing spirit punch as he revealed his information to the rest of the elders. ''Huh?'' When the elder who was attacking Raweth heard those words, he frowned a bit; however, he didn''t stop attacking him. ''What? He is the tribe leader?'' ''But he only has the cultivation of level 1 elite general realm.'' ''Hey, do you have some problem with your eyes? He is even younger than us.'' ''That''s right! He is too young to be the tribe leader.'' ''Maybe he is lying.'' The onlookers who were waiting for the true fight between Ajax and the tribe leader Cren to begin were hooked with the fight between Raweth and an elder of the Tailed spirit fox tribe. So, when they heard Raweth''s words, they were shocked at first andter, they concluded Raweth''s words were not true. Nevertheless, they were waiting for what Raweth would do against the iing spirit punch. ''If he is the true tribe leader of the three-legged sun crow tribe, then he would dodge that attack without any problem. So, all we need to do right now is wait and see what he will do.'' Some of the old tribe members of the Tailed spirit fox tribe had thoughts simr to that as they curiously watched the scene in front of them. ''Sun God''s protection.'' Just when the Tailed spirit fox tribe''s elder was about tond his punch on Raweth, Raweth used his powerful defensive skill to block the iing attack. ''Boom'' ''Swoosh'' Unexpected to everyone''s expectations, the elder has sted away the moment his punch came into contact with some invisible barrier around Raweth. Everyone looked at Raweth with faces full of shock and at the same time, their jaws dropped when they saw how long the elder has sted away aftering into contact with the invisible barrier. ''Argh'' ''Cough'' ''Thud'' As for the elder, he stood with an angry yell; however, before he could take a single step, the elder coughed a mouthful of blood before falling to the ground. ''What?'' ''Third elder got defeated just in a single move? How is this possible?'' ''Idiot, he didn''t even use an offensive skill. He just used a defensive skill and justing into contact with it made the third elder st more than 100 meters away. I wonder how powerful his offensive skill would be.'' ''This is my first time seeing the third elder to be defeated within a single move.'' Once again, all the onlookers started whispering among themselves when they saw how their mighty and arrogant third elder was defeated with a single defensive move. "Fifth Elder, go and check on him." The first elder ordered the elder beside him to check on the third elder before looking at Raweth with aplicated gaze. If what Raweth said about his position as the tribe leader of the three-legged sun crow tribe was true, then they clearly disrespected him. However, if the third elder were to die, then the first elder thought of some extreme things in order to take revenge for the third elder. "First elder, there is nothing to worry about, he is alive. It looks like his internal organs shook a little when his ''Spirit punch'' was stopped by some invisible barrier.'' As the first elder was continuously thinking about what he had to do if the third elder were to die from the earlier, he heard good news from the fifth elder making him heave a sigh of relief. "Take him into the tribe and give him sufficient pills." After heaving a sigh of relief, the first elders asked the fifth elder to take care of the third elder. "Yes, first elder." For the fifth elder, the first elder was his idol and half master. So, he didn''t mind taking orders from the first elder. "Tribe leader, sorry for our earlier words. I and the rest of the elders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe sincerely apologized for our earlier behaviour." There was no hesitation in the first elder when he apologized to Raweth. "Please ept our sincere apologies, tribe leader." Along with the first elder, the rest of the tribe''s elders bowed to Raweth as they apologized to Raweth. Even if Raweth''s words were true about him being the tribe leader of the Sun crow tribe, they would have bowed and apologized to him if he didn''t defeat the third elder with a single defensive move. Since the world is ruled with strength, no one had a problem when apologizing to Raweth. **** CardnChaos, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 907: Using all Laws and Skills

Chapter 907: Using all Laws and Skills

Not only the elders of the Tailed spirit fox tribe, but even the tribe leader Deon and Errol were also shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. Judging from the earlier confidence of Raweth, they thought Raweth would be powerful but they didn''t expect Raweth to be so powerful that it could defeat a level 8 elite general realm opponent without lifting his hand. ''It looks like the other two tribe leaders of the bird tribes are equally powerful as him.'' Soon, Errol and Deon started looking at Raweth, Snow and Sparrow in a different light. At the same time, Errol was excited for his son''s future who would be more powerful in the future. "So the tribe leader of the Sun crow tribe is your contracted spirit beast. Interesting." When the dispute at the side came to an end, the tribe leader Cren spoke to Ajax with an interesting look on his face. Earlier, when the tribe leader Cren and Ajax noticed that a small dispute was going on in the distance, they halted their fight to watch it. As the tribe leader of the Tailed spirit fox tribe, Cren had enough confidence in his third elder. Simrly, Ajax, as the master of Raweth, also had enough confidence in Raweth. So, both of them didn''t bother to stop the match and watched the fight. However, when they saw Raweth defeat the third elder with a single defensive move, they were shocked. That''s right! Even Ajax was shocked because he didn''t expect Raweth to be that powerful from thest time he had seen him. ''Looks like Snow and Sparrow have also grown powerful just like him.'' Ajax was excited with the growth of his contracted spirit beasts and looking at the tribe leader Cren, he replied, "Not only the Sun crow tribe but the other two bird tribe leaders are my contracted spirit beasts." While saying those words, Ajax had a proud look on his face. It was not only him taking credits fr something that he didn''t do anything. He helped them be what they were today. Moreover, they became more powerful than his expectations. Soo, of course, he was proud when it came to those three spirit beasts. "Don''t tell me, those two youngdies are the tribe leaders of the Lightning Hawk tribe and Netherworld Ice Sparrow tribe." After hearing Ajax''s words, the tribe leader Cren nodded his head as he didn''t doubt Ajax''s words before jokingly asked Ajax while pointing at Snow and Sparrow. "That''s right! They are the tribe leaders." Ajax seriously nodded his head that made the tribe leader Cren surprised a lot. "You are more interesting than I thought." Suddenly, the tribe leader Cren revealed a slight smile on his face and said those words to Ajax. ''As long as he can withstand my three powerful skills, I think I can acknowledge him as my master.'' After thinking for a few moments, the tribe leader Cren thought that acknowledging Ajax as his master was not a bad decision. Currently, Ajax is less than 20 years old and has many elemental spirits and various tribe leaders were following him. So, thinking all this, the tribe leader Cren made a decision to acknowledge Ajax as his master. However, to satisfy his ego, the tribe leader Cren made a small condition for Ajax; however, he didn''t say that condition to Ajax fearing that would make Ajax not bring out his entire potential. "You have a lot of elemental spirits but they are all weak. So, let me finish this battle soon." After making up his mind, the tribe leader Cren didn''t waste the time any longer and wanted to use his first powerful move. "Abyssal beast god bloodline." However, Ajax didn''t want to give any time for the tribe leader Cren to use his skills. So without wasting any time, he activated his bloodline. Even though he had another bloodline, currently, he didn''t have any ns to use it because he was confident in defeating the tribe leader Cren with his current elemental spirits. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated his ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'', all the elemental spirits in front of him received the boost from it as their battle prowess grew by three times. ''What? Not only does he have elemental spirits of various elements but he even has a bloodline that increases the battle prowess of the elemental spirits.'' When he saw the scene in front of him, the tribe leader Cren was shocked to the core that he didn''t attack Ajax as he wanted to see what Ajax was going to do next. Not only the elemental spirits but even three re-cultivated spirit beasts like Raweth, Snow and Sparrow received the default boost from the bloodline that made the two tribe leaders, elders and the tribe members of the Tailed spirit fox, get scared when they saw how powerful they could be in the future. ''Nite, Beast transformation.'' ''Volcanis, activate ''Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids'' and ''Celestial fire realm'' elementalws before using your skill rted to the elementalw.'' ''Ignis, activate ''Lightning fire''.'' ''Cerauno, use ''Thunderw'' before using your usual weapon''s attack.'' . . . . . Soon, he gave the orders to all his elemental spirits before giving another order through a voice transmission, "Only use 50 percent of your true power. I don''t want you to kill the tribe leader Cren." Since there is no need for Ajax to kill the tribe leader Cren, Ajax gave an order for his elemental spirits to retract their power while using their skills. Some might wonder why he should use all the powerful attacks when he didn''t want to kill the tribe leader Cren. He wanted to show something to the tribe leader Cren and that is if he wanted to kill him, he could do it without much difficulty. Soon, all the elemental spirits had huge transformations to their appearancepared to the time when Ajax had just summoned them. ''Holy heavens, is he nning to kill me or what?'' ***** Cageraymortal, thanks for a BALLOON and a POTION. Chapter 908: Spirit Enhancement Law

Chapter 908: Spirit Enhancement Law

''Holy heavens, is he nning to kill me or what?'' Looking at the elemental spirits that were currently looking very powerful as they were attacking with their powerful skills, the tribe leader Cren was shocked to the core as he cursed Ajax in his heart. Until now, he was nning to see all the trump cards of Ajax and even though he was able to see many of the trump cards, the tribe leader Cren felt a bad premonition in his heart. ''It looks like I need to use my own trump cards.'' ording to the original dead, the tribe leader Cren said that as long as Ajax made him use any of his trump cards, he would acknowledge Ajax as his master. However, right now, the tribe leader Cren was nning to use all his trump cards to stop the iing attacks from Ajax''s elemental spirits. Nevertheless, what the tribe leader Cren didn''t know was Ajax already ordered his elemental spirits to use only 50 percent of their true power while using their attacks. ''Spirit clones.'' Without any hesitation, the tribe leader Cren called his spirit clones who had the same strength as his true self. ''Transform.'' With another word, the tribe leader and his clones turned into azure-coloured tailed spirit foxes. Except for the tribe leader Cren who had six tails on his back, the rest of his clones only have one tail. ''Spirit enhancementw.'' Within the next moment, all seven huge tailed spirit foxes grew even bigger before rushing towards the iing elemental spirits. ''Boom'' The moment the seven huge tailed spirit fox collided with the elemental spirits, there was a huge explosion that shook even the onlookers who were watching the fight from more than a kilometer away. ''Holy heavens.'' ''This is my first time watching such a crazy battle. Just the impact from the battle is making me shiver.'' ''I wonder who is going to survive the earlier attack.'' ''Looks like this young human has such powerful elemental spirits. I think if he wins the fight, we could wholeheartedly acknowledge him as our master.'' Soon, the tribesmen of the Tailed spirit fox tribe started whispering after experiencing the impact of the earlier attack. Almost everyone thought it was okay for them to acknowledge Ajax as their master because he is young and powerful. At the same time, he has a powerful elemental spirit army, five tribe leaders support. So, considering all these facts, they felt that as long as Ajax survived the earlier attack, they were ready to acknowledge him as their master. Moreover, they even thought that their tribe leader would be the first one to ept Ajax as his master as long as Ajax survives the attack. "So, are you going to admit your defeat and acknowledge me as your master? Soon, Ajax''s words could be heard by everyone from the smoke that made all the tribe leaders understand that Ajax was unscathed by the impact. As for their tribe leader, they were not worried much because they were sure he would be alright. "Hahaha" While Ajax was confident that the tribe leader Cren would be injured from the previous round, he heard a loudugh from the other side of the smoke, making him reveal a surprised look on his face. "I am still waiting for your answer." Ajax was surprised for only a second before once again asking the same thing to the tribe leader. "Even though you still need a lot more to defeat me, you have all the power to be my master. With your potential, you can easily be my master." Soon, the smoke cleared away as the tribe leader Cren started walking towards Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ''What?'' However, Ajax was shocked when he saw apletely unscathed tribe leader Cren walking towards him. That''s right! There was not a single scratch on him that made Ajax frown. ''How is it possible? Is it because of his cultivator''sw?'' Earlier when his elemental spirits were about to use their powerful skills and elementalws, Ajax intentionally asked them to use only 50 percent of their actual power fearing that the full power attack might kill the tribe leader Cren. However, who would have thought that the tribe leader Cren had such a powerful cultivator''sw? Moreover, the other tribe leaders themselves didn''t have any cultivator''sw, much less have a powerful one. Also, from the looks on the face of the tribe leaders Errol and Deon, Ajax felt they also didn''t have any idea about it. "You must be surprised regarding my cultivator''sw. It is aw that helps me increase the power of my spiritual attacks like the spirit clones." As for the tribe leader Cren, he had a proud look on his face when he spoke about his cultivator''sw. Moreover, he didn''t hesitate to talk about his cultivator''sw because he felt it was time for the world to know about it. "You have a powerful cultivator''sw. No wonder you want me to use all my elemental spirits while fighting you." Finally, Ajax understood why the tribe leader Cren asked him to use his elemental spirits because he must have felt that it would be overkill. "Yes." While maintaining the slight smile on his face, the tribe leader Cren nodded his head as he agreed to what Ajax had said. "Anyway, the cultivator''sw must be the trump card that you said earlier. Since I made you use your cultivator''sw, you must know what you?have to do now." As for Ajax, he checked on his elemental spirits who were also not injured in the slightest just like the tribe leader Cren. So, he reminded the tribe leader Cren about his earlier condition. As soon as they heard Ajax''s words, everyone curiously looked at the tribe leader Cren to see what he was going to do; however, most of them already knew what he was going to do. ***** Vikkysh, thanks for the RING.

Chapter 909: Missionpleted

"I, Cren, the tribe leader of the Tailed spirit fox tribe acknowledges you and my master and keep my tribe in your hands in the hope that you will guide us in the right direction in the future, I swear under the presence of the holy heavens of the five elemental world to follow any order from him without any hesitation. Without any surprise, the tribe leader Cren kneeled on one knee as he acknowledged Ajax as his master. ''Rumble'' The acknowledging ceremony didn''t stop there as many dark clouds started gathering right above the heads of Ajax and the tribe leader Cren. The phenomenon was simr to the one that happened at the Demon fox tribe. Also,pared to the phenomenon in the Demon fox tribe, this current phenomenon was a little weak; however, earlier, it was two tribe leaders who swear their allegiance to him. ''Swoosh'' Since he had already experienced the pain from the lightning sh that leaves a tattoo on his body, Ajax wanted to be ready when it hits him. ''Aargh'' However, before he could look at the sky, a powerful lightning sh struck Ajax as he copsed to the ground while letting out a low groan. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully gaining the acknowledgement of the three ancient fox tribes by gaining a tattoo from each tribe. ''Ding, The host has to find out more about the tattoos on his own. Just as Ajax fell to the ground, he got a couple of system notifications that made Ajax bitterly shake his head. ''You said that same thing when I asked you about it earlier.'' Ajax scoffed at the system as he looked at his new tattoo. Unlike the previous two tattoos, the new one looked a little different and more powerful. Also, there were seven tails with a fox head in the front. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds''. ''Huh?'' While Ajax was observing his new tattoos, he once again received a system notification; however, this time, the system notification made him frown a little. That''s right! He frowned when he saw the system notification that was informing him about the missionpletion. ''Are there no unevolved spirit beasts in the Western foxnds?'' Nevertheless, soon, he revealed an excited smile on his face before asking the system about it. When the system gave him the mission to ''Conquer the Shixato wilds'', he had to ask his contracted spirit beasts and their tribes to clear them out which took him a lot of time. So, Ajax thought he had to do the same for the Western foxnds; however, who would have thought the system would already conclude the mission aspleted. ''Ding, Currently, the system detected there are not powerful unevolved spirit beasts in the Western foxnds. So, the mission will be deemed aspleted. ''Oh'' Ajax nodded his head and understood what the system was saying. So, he didn''t bother to ask any more questions on it; instead, he asked, ''So, what about the reward?'' Other than going back to the Purple stone world to enter the Sacred Pool of the Royal family, Ajax had another reason why he wanted toplete the mission? ''Conquer the Western foxnds'' and it was for the mission reward. That''s right! The mission reward is so tempting for Ajax, he wanted toplete the mission. Other than tempting, he needs that reward to increase his cultivation. ''Ding, The reward has already been sent to the host''s inventory. Please check it. ''Really?'' Ajax was surprised; however, before he could check his inventory, the tribe leader Cren came to help Ajax stand up from the ground. ''Swoosh'' "I want to take some rest." After standing up, Ajax summoned back all his elemental spirits before informing the tribe leader Cren that he wants to take a rest. "Yes, Master. Please follow." The tribe leader Cren nodded his head respectfully before bringing Ajax to his mansion and gave a huge room for him to rest. Along the way, Ajax spoke a few words to the other tribe leaders. "If you need anything, you can just call me, Master." After bringing Ajax to a room, the tribe leader Cren left the room silently. "Now, I can check the reward." Ajax was excited for the reward as he opened his inventory. ''This must be the reward. In the inventory, Ajax saw a single ck feather that he had never seen in the past. So, he thought it was the reward and with a thought that ck feather appeared in his hand. ''Appraise'' As soon as Ajax said that, theplete information about the ck feather appeared in front of him. ..... ''Tribe leader, when did you learn the cultivator''sw?'' ''You have hidden it very well, tribe leader. I am excited to be a member of the tailed spirit fox tribe.'' ''Tribe leader Cren, can you exin about your cultivator''sw?'' ''Old Cren, from the looks of it, you must have learned the cultivator''sw more than a year or so, right?'' ''Yeah. I guess, his cultivator''sw must have already reached level 2.'' . . . While Ajax was hurriedly checking the reward for the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds'', outside the mansion, all the tribe members of the Tailed spirit fox tribe, the tribe leaders Deon and Errol were surrounding the tribe leader Cren as they curiously asked questions one after another. "Haha" Hearing tons of questions from everyone, the tribe leader Cren could not help butugh out loud as he replied to the two tribe leaders Deon and Errol first. "Yes. It''s been exactly one year and one month when I suddenly gained enlightenment into the cultivator''sw. Soon, I entered into closed seclusion to continuously learn more about it and increased its level to level 2 in a year." While saying those words, the tribe leader Cren was very proud. ***** Michael_Laughlin and mileshoefling001, thanks for the POTION. Niscka and cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Thanks to everyone who gifted BALLOONS. Chapter 910: Devourer Eagle King’s Feather

Chapter 910: Devourer Eagle King¡¯s Feather

The reason the tribe leader Cren was proud was because he knew how hard he had to work to just reach level 2 in his cultivator''sw. Moreover, he was the only fox tribe leader among the three tribe leaders of the Western foxnds. Nevertheless, soon, the tribe leader Cren briefly said a few more words before dispersing the crowd. .... ''I can''tg behind too much.'' When the tribe leaders Deon and Errol were walking into their rooms, they clutched their fists as they muttered to themselves. Since the three fox tribe leaders were verypetitive with one another from a very young age, they didn''t want to be weak ones. So, after learning that the tribe leader Cren had awakened a cultivator''sw and even reached level 2 in it, they wanted to focus more on their cultivation. So, while Ajax went to take a rest in his room, both the tribe leaders went into the guest rooms to cultivate. ..... In the main room of the tribe leader''s mansion. ''Appraise.'' Ajax was excited about the reward from the mission ''Conquer the Western foxnds''. So, without wasting any time, he took out the ck-coloured feather from the inventory to know more about it. ''Ding, Item name:-? Devourer eagle king''s feather. Item Type:- Single-use Use:- A feather that can be used to create a portal to the smaller world named Aeetos. More information:- Basically, an item to travel. ''Is that it? Is this an evil world I have to destroy?'' After looking at the information about the feather, Ajax revealed an ear to ear smile on his face. That''s right! The reward forpleting the mission is that he would have a small world pass that could be used to travel between the worlds. So, Ajax was very excited about the reward However, the only thing he still didn''t know was whether the smaller world called Aeetos was an evil world or not. As long as it was an evil world, Ajax didn''t have any problem in destroying it; however, if it was not an evil world, then Ajax would be not interested in killing innocent people just to increase his cultivation by a single realm. ''Ding, Aeetos, is a world that ispletely inhabited by a single race, Devourer Eagles which likes to invade the surrounding worlds to devour the inhabitants from those worlds. ''Ding, Those eagles are greedy to devour everything in the other worlds, be it a living being or energy mine. In their eyes, as long as something has energy in it, it should be devoured. ''Ding, The reason for that behaviour is because of the world soul that injects greed into every single eagle that was born in that world. The name for those eagles came from that behaviour. Just as Ajax was wondering about the world, the system sent a piece of brief information about the world that made Ajax slightly nod his head. ''Phew...I can start with this Aeetos world to increase my cultivation.'' As Ajax was waiting for this system reward for a while now, he wanted the world pass given to him should be an evil one. So, once he saw that Aeetos is an evil world, he heaved a sigh of relief and decided to start increasing his cultivation by destroying that world. ''Nevertheless, I have to go back to the Purple stone world toplete a few things like entering the Sacred Pool and taking full control over his dimensional crevice.'' However, Ajax had to keep his ''Worlds destroying mission'' on hold because of his other things. Even though it still had a couple of days before the Sacred Pool of the royal family opens, Ajax was very sure that he could not destroy the ''Aeetos world'' within a couple of days. Moreover, he still has to take full control of his dimensional crevice because the spirit of the dimensional crevice informed him that he could only gainplete ess to the dimensional crevice after hepleted another task. For that task, Ajax needs to have the cultivation of at least a general realm. However, because the reward for the mission ''Conquer the western foxnds'', Ajax gave less preference to the dimensional crevice. ''I don''t need to hurry things; instead, I can focus more on one thing at a time. For now, I will take some rest because wrapping everything in the Five Elemental World, I can go back.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax decided to take a rest for now. As for the Mountain lion woods, Ajax didn''t have any ns to conquer it now. Moreover, ording to the information he had on him about that region of the Five elemental world, it has King realm experts. Most importantly, the system didn''t give the mission about conquering the Mountain lion woods. So, Ajax was not worried much and wanted to take some rest because he was very tired not for fighting the tribe leader Cren; instead, it was because of being hit by the lightning strike from the holy heavens of the five elemental world. After 10 hours, After a 10 hour good sleep, Ajax woke with a bright light in his eyes. ''Let''s see what I have to do in the five elemental world before leaving it.'' Since he would be leaving the five elemental world for quite some time after today, Ajax wanted to arrange everything and didn''t want to worry much about his tribes after leaving the five elemental world. So, he started nning for it. ''All tribes from Western foxnds and the Shixato wilds need to be together without any fights¡­.'' ''Ding, A new system mission is generated for the host in the quest tab. Please check it. While he was nning for what he had to do for the tribes from both the regions, he got a sudden system notification that made him raise his eyebrows. ''Give me a break, will you?'' After having the system in his head for some time, Ajax could guess what was the mission about it. So, he jokingly asked the system to give him a break. However, he was looking forward to that mission which would be quite challenging. ''Ding, The host can always deactivate the ''Quest tab'' to take a break to enjoy his life. But, what Ajax didn''t expect was that he would get a reply from the system for what he had said jokingly. ''Huh? Looks like the system is very angry.'' Ajax could guess the system was angry from those words. So, he didn''t bother to give any reply because he didn''t know what the system might do. If by any chance, the system deactivates the system tab, then he would be losing so many quests. Losing quests means losing rewards which of course, Ajax didn''t want to happen. Because Ajax knew the only reason how his cultivation increased to his current state within such a short time was because of the system. ''Open the quest tab'' Soon, Ajax asked the system to open the quest tab to see the mission details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Gain the alliance of the ''Mountain lion woods'' Reward:- Hidden Danger rating:- B+ Time limit:- One month More information:- At the current cultivation realm, the host is nowhere near in conquering the Moutain lion woods. So, it''s better to form an alliance to exchange resources and manpower between the regions when required. ''Huh? Alliance?'' When Ajax read the mission, Ajax frowned a little because it was his first time seeing the missions where it required him to gain the alliance; instead of conquering. So, Ajax felt a little doubtful regarding the system. However, his doubts were cleared when he read theplete information about the mission. ''Sigh...am? that weak?'' After reading itpletely, Ajax''s mood became a little gloomy because he didn''t think he was very weak that the system said that he was nowhere near conquering the Mountain lion woods. ''I need to be stronger.'' After reading that line multiple times, Ajax clenched his fists as he swore to be stronger. ''Before I form an alliance with the Moutain lion woods, I need to gather more information on it.'' Whether it was conquering or forming an alliance, both missions needed him to gather more information. So, he thought of giving this task to his followers. ''As the inhabitants of this world, they could gather more information on the mountain lion woods and adding the knowledge they already have, it would be sufficient for me to decide what I should do.'' Ajax started nning about his next mission with a serious look on his face. That''s right! He didn''t want toe to a conclusion without knowingpletely about the Mountain lion woods. If he feels that the Moutain lions woods has one or two king realm cultivators, he could n to conquer it; instead of just forming an alliance. *** Kellee_States, KingRig, thanks for the GRIMOIRE.

Chapter 911: Guidelines for the tribe leaders

''Anyway, it was already confirmed that there is more than one King realm expert in the Mountain lion woods. So, I think, I have toe up with a very solid n to go against them.'' ''And if I can''t think of any good n, then I will try my best in forming an alliance.'' After Ajax decided to leave the task of gathering information about the Mountain lion woods to his subordinates, he stopped thinking about it. Next, he peeked into his inner world to check on his elemental paradises before going out of the room. ¡­... After a few minutes, In the meeting hall of the tribe leader''s mansion, Ajax looked at six tribe leaders from two regions. "So, I have one major task for you and that is to gatherplete information on the Mountain Lion Woods." Without wasting any time, Ajax gave them a mission as he continued, "Create a good scouting team from all six tribes to gather information." "Yes, Master." All six tribe leaders nodded their heads. Even though Ajax didn''t say his thoughts, everyone understood his intentions. So, they didn''t bother to ask any questions as they nodded their heads. "As for the other things, you have to develop on your own for some time and help each other." After giving the main task, Ajax started saying other things. If they did as Ajax said, the most benefited tribe will be the Ghost fox tribe following it, the three bird tribes. As for the Tailed spirit fox tribe, it will be the biggest loser because it is the strongest tribe among the six tribes and it has to help the five tribes. The Demon fox tribe would be the second loser as it is the second strongest tribe. However, the tribe leader Cren and the tribe leader? Deon didn''t mind helping the other tribes because they know by doing so, Ajax would definitely help them more in the future. Except for Errol, the other two fox tribe leaders didn''t see the resources of Ajax yet (even Errol didn''t seepletely), so, right now, they were not expecting many resources from Ajax. All they wanted to do was to wait until Ajax became more powerful and then they would naturally be stronger along with him. So, they did mind helping the other four tribes. "Also, there is another important thing and I don''t want that to ever happen." All of a sudden, Ajax became a lot more serious than earlier as he continued speaking, "No tribesmen should fight with one another and they should not look down on others just before they are from another tribe." "If you really want, you can conduct somepetitions between the young tribesmen and even gather a group of talented young tribe members from all six tribes to groom with the resources from all six tribes." Ajax continued to speak one topic after another and whatever issues he thought woulde in the future, he strictly asked the tribe leaders to control those issues before they even began. As for the six tribe leaders, they continued to listen to Ajax''s words and nodded their heads. Even though it was a little difficult, they seriously decided to focus on those issues because as the tribe leader, they knew how those issues might lead to the destruction of a tribe. Previously, all the tribes were separate and the issues were also less; however, now, there are six tribes (Ghost fox tribe is yet to increase its tribe members), so, of course, the issues regarding the six tribes would be even more. "Thest thing is, I want to introduce you to my strongest contracted spirit beast before I leave this world." Ajax had already informed all the tribe leaders that he would be leaving the five elemental world soon. So, no one was surprised when they heard those words; however, what made them surprised was Ajax''s words about the strongest contracted spirit beast. Of course, Raweth, Snow and Sparrow were not surprised because they already knew how powerful Ajax''s contracted spirit beast was. Nevertheless, they didn''t say anything and was curiously looking forward to seeing Ajax''s strongest contracted spirit beast. "For that, we need to go out." After saying those words, Ajax and the six tribe leaders walked out of the mansion. "Come out and wave your tentacle at others, Penta" ''Swoosh'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax summoned the five elemental spirit beast Pentapus from his inner world. As soon as the huge five elemental spirit beast came out of the inner world, it waved its hands at the six tribe leaders. ''Swoosh'' Except for the tribe leader Cren, everyone waved back at the Pentapus with a slight smile on his face. "Huh?" As for the tribe leader Cren, he raised his brows for a moment before repeating the actions of other tribe leaders. When Ajax was demonized by the Demon fox tribe, the five elemental spirit beast was able to easily control the situation for a while. So, after seeing that Ajax was talking about Penta, Errol and Deon nodded their heads at Ajax''s words. However, the tribe leader Cren didn''t feel it could be a strongest spirit beast because he was unable to sense the cultivation of the Pentapus. That''s right! Not only him, after forming the contract with Ajax, he asked the spirit beast to never show off its cultivation without knowing the enemy''s strength. From that moment on words, he followed Ajax''s words. "If you ever need any help, you can ask him as I can''t bring him out of his world." Next, Ajax calmly said those words that made the tribe leader Cren frown even morepared to before. "Master Ajax, can I know exactly how powerful this spirit beast is?" After hesitating for a moment, the tribe leader Cren asked the questions as he really wanted to know how powerful the spirit beast was for Ajax to say those words. ****** Kellee_States, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. cageraymortal, Ringers4, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 912: How to come back?

Chapter 912: How toe back?

Even though the tribe leader Cren was unable to see the exact strength of the five elemental spirit beast, he knew that it should be around low-grade rank 6. By any chance that spirit beast had a fortuitous encounter, it must have reached high-grade rank 6 or peak grade rank 6. Moreover,pared to Ajax''s cultivation, he felt it was very hard to convince a peak rank 6 spirit beast to form a contract because, unlike the re-cultivated spirit beasts, unevolved spirit beasts were more aggressive and wild. Before anyone could talk about the contract, either they either kill the person who asked or get killed themselves if the person was powerful. So, the tribe leader Cren''s conclusion was Ajax''s strongest contracted spirit beast would be less powerful than him. So, why would he take the help of an unevolved spirit beast which is less powerful than him? "It is a peak rank 6 spirit beast." Before Ajax could say anything, the tribe leader Deon replied to the tribe leader Cren. Since the tribe leader Deon had already experienced the power of the spirit beast, he was confident in his answer. ''As I expected, it must have experienced a fortuitous encounter.'' When he heard the reply, the tribe leader Cren silently nodded his head in understanding; however, what he didn''t understand was why would Ajax say that he could take help from the spirit beast. ''Maybe, it must have some good skills that might help us in some situations.'' When he thought about it, the tribe leader Cren didn''t bother to think much about it as nodded his head. "Correct." Ajax nodded his head and didn''t bother to exin the elementalws learned by the Pentapus. ''When the right timees, you will be greatly surprised.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax gently patted the tentacle of the five elemental spirit beasts before looking at the other tribe leaders. As for Raweth, Snow and Sparrow, they revealed smiles on their faces just like Ajax because they knew exactly how powerful the five elemental spirit beast was. Even the tribe leader Deon and Errol didn''t have the slightest clue about the fact that the five elemental spirit beast had learned five elementalws. "Take care of Elen and if he asks about our mission, you can exin everything to him." Next, Ajax looked at Raweth as he asked him to take care of Elen. Elen is a former member of the fire base of the summoner''s group and because of his help, he was able to destroy the formation tes around the grey-furred fox tribe. So that, he could freely summon all the elemental spirits he needed. Moreover, since Elen was able to be a member of the summoners''s group, Ajax felt he had quite a potential and adding to the fact that he is a summoner, Ajax felt they could be good friends. So, he asked Raweth to take care of Elen until he came back. "Okay, I will take my leave now. If you have anything urgent, you can contact me with the help of my avatar." Just as he finished his words, a silhouette appeared beside Ajax that looked just like him except for the dark shade on his face making him look like an evil Ajax. However, it was just an avatar that Ajax had gained after destroying the avatar of a demon king from the greater demon world. "Yes, Master." No one is a little kid, so everyone knew what a demonic avatar was and knew what it could do. So, no one asked any questions. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax waved his hands at the six tribe leaders before disappearing from his ce and appeared in the distance. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After continuously using the ''Teleport'' effect a dozen times, Ajax was already very far from the Tailed spirit fox tribe. ''I hope they will help each other and be more powerful.'' Soon, Ajax started running as he thought that everything would go ording to his n. As long as they help each other, the bond between them would be stronger and all the minor differences between them from ages would disappear. ''This ce has much to do.'' After travelling for a few kilometers, Ajax found a ce to teleport back to the Purple stone world Since the entire Western foxnds were filled with surveince formations, Ajax didn''t want to teleport carelessly back to the Purple stone world. So, he found a ce where there are less formation tes and using the method Elen taught him, he destroyed the formation tes. ''By the time I return, I hope all these formation tes will be removed.'' After destroying the formation tes in the area, Ajax muttered to himself. Among the many guidelines, he had given to the tribe leaders, identifying and removing the formation pates was one of them. ''System, open the portal to the Purple stone world.'' After the formation tes were destroyed, Ajax asked the system to open the portal and without wasting any time, the system opened the portal. ''Ding, This is the host''sst ticket and if he wants toe back to the five elemental world, he needs to either gain the Five elemental world ticket frompleting the missions or find another way for himself. ''Huh?'' Just when he was about to enter the five elemental world, Ajax got a system notification that made him frown; however, after thinking about it, he remembered what the system had said was correct. ''What should I do now?'' Getting a ticket to the five elemental world is not as easy as the system had said and currently, he didn''t have any other way to gain a ticket. So, Ajax halted in his steps as he started thinking about what he had to do to get more tickets to the five elemental world. ***** MagnusChase 2020, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. jordan_higgs, thanks for the POTION. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 913: Quickthunder Mercenary Squad

"What should I do?" Ajax thought for some time about how to get more tickets to enter the five elemental world; however, he was unable to find a way to get them. ''Ding, The teleport to the Purple stone world will be close in 10 seconds. Please enter before it closes. ''What?'' Ajax became anxious when he saw the sudden system notification that made him nearly cry; however, no tears came from his eyes. ''Sigh¡­I have to think of a way toe back within 20 days.'' Finally, Ajax could not help but sigh as he jumped into the portal and decided to find a way toe back after going back to the Purple stone world. ''Swoosh'' After Ajax jumped into the portal, it disappeared without a trace. In the distance, ''Interesting...so, he could already create portals to other worlds.'' Master Ren, who was supposed to be recovering his strength in the cave, appeared some distance away from Ajax just when he was about to enter the portal. After seeing that Ajax could create the portal, Master Ren revealed a slight smile on his face as he started changing his ns. As for how he was able to find out that Ajax opened a portal to leave the five elemental world? It was, of course, informed to Master Ren by his dual elemental spirit Sumo. ''If he could create a portal to a normal world, then I think it would not take much time for him to create portals to the Greater worlds.'' With that thought in his mind, Master Ren disappeared from his ce and appeared in his secret cave to recover. Here, Master Ren assumed that Ajax had used some kind of official skill he gained from forming the contract with space elemental spirit Prophis. However, what he didn''t know was that the system created the portal for Ajax. As for Ajax, he was very far from creating a portal to a small world, not to mention the greater worlds. ...¡­ Zrochester province, Purple stone world. ''Swoosh'' In the outer section of the cursed wilderness, a group of figures were running at an incredible speed. A few meters away from them, a portal opened as Ajax came out of it with a bitter look on his face. After learning that he had to find more tickets to go back to the Five elemental world from the system, all his previous happiness of conquering the Western foxnds had disappeared without a trace. Instead, he was worried about how to go back because he had another mission in the five elemental world. Actually, Ajax was not worried much about not getting more tickets to go back to the five elemental world; instead, his worries were about getting a ticket within 20-25 days. Because he had a mission toplete within a month and he felt he needed at least 5 days toplete the mission. ''Brother, we are not powerful enough to go against Edmond and Udo. Just thinking about their names makes me shiver.'' ''Idiot. This is a huge opportunity for us. The royal family is offering a great reward just for giving some information to them about Edmond and Udo.'' ''Even though the reward is good, we should be alive to enjoy those rewards, right?'' ''No wonder you are the weakest one in our mercenary squad. We are not going to confront him; instead, he would just try our luck in finding their tracks.'' ''Everyone, stop talking, there is someone ahead. We have to be careful.'' Just as Ajax came out of the portal, he heard the conversation of a group of people who were passing by. ''Huh?'' After hearing the conversation, Ajax raised his brows because he heard two familiar names in the conversation. ''What happened? Why would the royal family reward others for giving information on Captain Edmond and Udo?'' Soon, many questions formed in his head that made him didn''t understand anything. ''Let''s see who they are first.'' Since his questions would not get solved just by standing there and thinking. So, he decided to check on the iing group before nning what to do next. "Who is there?" Not only Ajax, but the captain of the iing mercenary squad also felt the presence of Ajax. So, he stopped in his tracks as he asked Ajax. "I got separated from my mercenary squad." Since they already noticed Ajax was hiding in the nearby bushes, Ajax came out from the bushes and informed them that he was a lost member of a mercenary squad. Ajax was already prepared when he came out of his hiding ce. He cleverly rubbed mud on his face and dishevelled his hair and clothes. So that, the mercenary squad would not remember him. That''s right! Ajax was famous in the Zrochester province after the champion''s contest. So, he didn''t want his identity to be revealed when the other group was searching for Edmond and Udo. "Which squad are you from?" Even though Ajax was currently looking like a lost member of a mercenary squad, the squad leader felt something was not right. So, he asked about the squad name. ''How could a squad leave behind one of its squad members?'' This was the only thought in the squad leader''s mind. ''I know them.'' As for Ajax, he was also in his thoughts. While the entire squad members in front of him were checking him, Ajax was also checking them. With a nce, Ajax was able to notice them because he had seen them multiple times in the past. Moreover, he also remembered the words of Captain Edmond about this squad. ''If you ever get into an argument with the Quickthunder mercenary squad, then run. They are not what everyone thinks they are.'' As Ajax had a good memory, he still remembered those words as he silently evaluated the cultivation of all the squad members. "Kid, are you deaf? Answer the leader." ****** Ilmdw712015, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 914: Silver Rhino Mercenary Squad

Chapter 914: Silver Rhino Mercenary Squad

"Kid, are you deaf? Answer the leader." Seeing that Ajax was not replying and instead, he was thinking something, one of the squad members shouted at Ajax. "Uh...I am sorry." With that shout, Ajax came out of his thoughts and apologised with an embarrassed look on his face as he continued, "I am from a nameless mercenary squad which you might have not heard. The squad is called Silver rhino." "Hmm...never heard of it." "Maybe it is a newly formed squad." As soon as they heard the squad name, all the Quickthunder mercenary squad members shook their heads as though they didn''t know about the squad. "I know about it." However, to everyone''s surprise, the squad leader of the Quickthunder mercenary squad nodded his head as he continued, "Moreover, I owe him a favour. So, you can tag with us and I will take you back to your mercenary squad." ''What the hell?'' Ajax just said a random name and he didn''t expect that there would be a mercenary squad by the name Silver rhino. What''s more, the leader of the Quickthunder mercenary squad owes a favour to the Silver rhino squad leader. ''Is he nning something or is there really a squad name?'' Ajax felt it was too much of a coincidence to happen as he felt a little doubtful regarding the behaviour of the Quickthunder mercenary squad leader. Finally, he understood why Captain Edmond had told him to run away when he was on the bad side of the Quickthunder mercenary squad. ''He is very bad at lying. I wonder why he is lying about his identity. Moreover,? judging from his clothes, he definitely didn''t get lost from his mercenary squad.'' ''Moreover, I don''t have time to interrogate him. For now, I will keep him with my squad and after I finish the main business, I will take care of this little brat.'' Just like Ajax expected, the Quickthunder mercenary squad leader was very dangerous and with a few words, he already kept Ajax in his squad without much difficulty. The squad leader thought he should finish the main business first. So, he asked Ajax to go with them. "Thank you very much, captain." With an excited look on his face, Ajax nodded his head as he agreed to go with them. ''If I had the same battle prowess when Captain Edmond had told me about this squad, I don''t know what I would have done; however, things are not the same as I became a lot strongerpared to before.'' After agreeing to the Quickthunder mercenary squad captain''s words, Ajax revealed an evil chuckle in his heart. ''Huh? Did he agree that easily? Is he really lost from a squad named Silver rhino?'' When he saw the reaction on Ajax''s face, the captain of the squad frowned a little as he didn''t understand what Ajax up to. ''Whatever, since he is just a level 2 general realm cultivator, I will have a lot of time to take care of him after I finish the main business.'' With that thought in his mind, the squad captain looked at his squad members and said, "Let''s go. We have to find at least a single clue regarding the ce where they were hiding." After finishing his words, the squad captain didn''t wait for a reply; instead, he just ran in a specific direction. "Yes, captain." Everyone became alert and followed behind their squad captain. ''Keep an eye on him.'' Along the way, the squad captain asked the weakest member of the tribe to keep an eye on Ajax. Even though he was the weakest one, he was already a level 10 general realm cultivator andpared to a level 2 general realm cultivator, he was way more powerful. So, the captain of the squad assigned the task to him. ''Huh?'' As for that weakest member, he was a little confused; however, he didn''t dare to bete in replying to the captain, ''Understood, Captain.'' Even though he didn''t understandpletely, all he understood was whatever his captain said about the Silver rhino squad, it was not true. In the mercenary guild, there were hundreds of recognized squads and thousands of unrecognized squads who needed toplete at least three tasks before getting the recognition of the mercenary guild. Moreover, every day, there would be at least one or two mercenary squads getting killed during the missions. So, it was impossible for someone to know the names of all the mercenary squads. As for the Quickthunder mercenary squad, it was a top 10 mercenary squad; however, ording to Captain Edmond, their squad should be in the top three. ''Anyway, I will see what these people are up to.'' As for Ajax, he was silently running along with the other squad members. Since there is something wrong with Captain Edmond and Udo, Ajax wanted to know more about it. So, he was more than happy to travel with the Quickthunder mercenary squad because their captain was confident in finding Captain Edmond and Udo. ''Ugh...can you guys run a little slower?'' ''I need some rest.'' ''How can you run so fast?'' ''If I run any more, I might die.'' From time to time, Ajax intentionally said those lines in order to make them feel that he was just weak cultivation who got lost on the borders of the outer section of the cursed wilderness. "Damn you. If you don''t want toe with us, then just find your own path and go back." "With such low endurance, how can you think of bing a mercenary?" Whenever they hear Ajax''s words, the squad members of the Quickthunder be annoyed and angered. So, they cursed Ajax and asked him to go back on his own. "No no no...how can I travel alone in the middle section of the cursed wilderness?" Ajax hurriedly replied and with a forced expression on his face, he continued to run along with the squad members. ***** Cageraymortal, thanks for a LOLLIPOP and BALLOON. Chapter 915: Edmonds revenge

Chapter 915: Edmond''s revenge

"Sorry, Edmond. It was my fault that the entire Zrochester province is searching for us." In the deeper parts of the middle section of the Cursed wilderness, Udo apologized to Edmond with a bitter look on his face. "No. My calctions went wrong; otherwise, you would have not lost your hand." Edmond clenched his fist as he replied to Udo with a face full of seriousness while looking at the missing left hand of Udo. "..." Udo didn''t say anything because he knew no matter what he said, Edmond would not stop ming himself for what he did. ''Even though his calctions went wrong a little, I should have been a little careful.'' Udo shook his head as he recalled what happened a few hours ago. After leaving the mercenary guild, Edmond and Udo thoroughly looked at Edmond''s n and modified it as long as they felt something might go wrong. With a confident n in their minds, Edmond and Udo moved to the Hammerdust family to destroy it overnight. ording to the n, Edmond would assassinate the family head and other top echelons of the family and without any problem, Edmond had sessfully assassinated top-level cultivators of the Hammerdust family who were inside the house. As for Udo, he had to keep a lookout for anyone escaping from the house. Udo was doing his duty and killed anyone trying to escape or warn others until an abyss devil was running out of the house. Moreover, the cultivation of the abyss devil was more than what Udo could handle. Nevertheless, Udo sacrificed his hand to kill the abyss devil. However, what he didn''t ept was that while he was fighting the abyss devil king, the head of the Hammergust family escaped right in front of him. Later, the escape family head asked the help of the royal family and who knows what the family head Holor offered to the royal family, they were very fast in putting a reward for Edmond and Udo. The only good thing that happened for them was that the entire Hammergurst family was massacred by Edmond. That''s right! Eighty percent of the family members were killed by Captain Edmond whereas Udo took care of the remaining twenty percent with his single hand. "I should have not allowed that bastard to escape." Even though they know that they don''t have the power to change the past, both were ming themselves for the escape of Holor. Actually, Edmond thought he assassinated Holor because he confirmed whether he was dead or not and only after confirming, Edmond continued with his n of assassinating others. Amidst the assassination, Edmond felt movements from Holor room and by the time he went in, to check, he saw Holor jumping out of the window. However, at that time, Holor''splexion was pale and he was very weak. Also, he had others to kill in the Hammergust family, so he left Holor to Udo who was already fighting a serious battle with the abyss devil. This thing was not known by Edmond. As for Udo, he was ming himself for being weak and not even able to kill an abyss devil. ¡­. In the middle section of the cursed wilderness, ''So, what are you guys searching for?'' While Ajax was travelling with the Quickthunder mercenary squad, he silently asked one of the squad members. The squad member Ajax asked likes to talk as he was continuously talking all the way and So, Ajax felt he would get all his answers from him. So, he chose him. Another thing he did along the way was to check the cultivation of each and every squad member of the Quickthunder mercenary squad. As a top 10 mercenary squad in the Mercenary guild, almost everyone has good cultivation. In the squad, there were exactly 10 members with four level 5 elite general realm, three-level 3 elite general and one level 1 elite general realm cultivators. As for the captain of the squad, his cultivation was higher than Captain Edmond which is level 8 elite general realm. However, Captain Edmond had hidden many trump cards and no one dares to challenge him making his squad into the top 3 mercenary squads. ''No wonder, Captain Edmond warned me about them.'' With each moment he spent with the Quickthunder mercenary squad, Ajax understood how powerful the squad was. ''We are trying to find out where Captain Edmond and Udo are hiding.'' As expected, the squad member started speaking; however, before he could give any information, he was interrupted by the squad captain. "Keep quiet. Looks like there is someone ahead." After saying those words, the squad captain halted everyone as he took slow steps towards the specific cave. ... In the royal captain of the Zrochester province. "Your majesty, thank you for helping me." The family head of the Hammergust family Holor was bowing in front of Stephen Draton as he thanked him. "You know that I am not doing this for free, right?" With a slight nod, King Stephen looked at Holor and asked with an expressionless look on his face. "Of course, I will keep my word, your majesty." Hearing those words, the Family head Holor''s face became a little bitter; however, he didn''t let the expression seen by King Stephen as he continued, "For the help, the king is providing, it is the least thing I could give in return." "Good. If you don''t keep your word, I will let you know the taste of the Sacred prison of our royal family in which you will be staying for eternity." With a cold smile on his face, King Stephen said to Holor. ''...'' Hearing those words, Holor could not help but shiver; however, he knew that he didn''t have other choices here. "Your majesty, if there is nothing, I will go and have a little talk with other great families'' family heads." Holor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he asked permission from King Stephen to leave. ''Huh?'' ****** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 916: Holors plans

Chapter 916: Holor''s ns

''Huh?'' When he heard Holor''s words, King Stephen raised his brows before asking, "Are you nning to ask help from them too?" Since Holor wants to go to the other family heads of the great families, King Stephen could guess what he wants to do. "Yes, your majesty." Holor politely nodded his head. "So, what are you going to offer them? Or should I rather ask what kind of resources you are left with?" With a scoff, King Stephen asked Holor as he continued, "Or do you want to use the same thing to trade with them?" While saying these words, King Stephen sounded furious as he released his cultivation pressure to suppress Holor. ''Putong'' All of a sudden, Holor fell to the ground on his knees from the pressure released by King Stephen. Holor was a level10 elite general realm expert, after dying once in Captain Edmond''s hand, he was mysteriously still alive; however, he became a lot weaker. Even a general realm cultivator could kill him. So, he could stand the cultivation pressure of King Stephen. "No no no¡­.your majesty." Holor''s forehead and back got covered in a cold sweat as he heard King Stephen''s words and hurriedly shook his head. "Then?" King Stephen asked Holor with a scoff because he clearly knew there was nothing valuable left in Holor''s possession. And the only thing Holor had earlier was promised to be given to Stephen King as long as he helped with his revenge against Edmond and Udo. Moreover, he clearly knew that the Hammergust family was not greatly weed by other great families because of his dealings with the abyss devils. So, when King Stephen didn''t understand how could Holor just go to the other family heads and ask for their help. If only Holor promised them what he had already promised to give to King Stephen, they would agree to help him and how could King Stephen let Holor allow that. If others get to know about it, he would have no control over that thing and he would have to share it with others, which King Stephen didn''t like to do. "All the family heads owe me a favour from the past. So, I am going to call that favour, your majesty. Since I already promised you about it, I don''t dare promise that thing to others." Wiping the cold sweat from his sweat, Holor anxiously said to King Stephen because he feared that if he continued to endure the cultivation pressure from King Stephen, he would be dead for sure. ''Hmm'' After hearing Holor''s words, King Stephen nodded his head after thinking for a moment as he retracted his cultivation pressure. At the same time, he snapped his fingers before saying, "Who is there?" ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said those words, a silhouette appeared from his shadow and soon the silhouette materialized into a masked man. "Royal shadow is at your service, your majesty." As soon as the masked man materialized, he bowed in front of King Stephen as he asked for the orders. "Follow him and keep an eye on him. If he dares to promise anything to the family heads of the great families, you are free to kill him." Looking at the royal shadow in front of him, King Stephen gave his orders. "This royal shadow will do as you say, your majesty." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the royal shadow jumped into the shadow of Holor. "Your majesty..this..is..." Looking at his own shadow where there were no changes, Holor stuttered at King Stephen. "That''s right! I don''t believe you." Even though Holor didn''t finish his words, King Stephen was able to guess what Holor wanted to say to him and he scoffed at Holor. "As long as you don''t go back on your words, you will be alive and the moment you break your word, the royal shadow will kill you without any mercy. If I were you, I would be careful." Although King Stephen had some problems regarding his ancestors, he was groomed with all qualities of a King from his master. So, he didn''t show any mercy andpletely dominated Holor. "I will not go back on my words, your majesty." Holor respectfully nodded his head as he said, "I will take my leave now." "Go." King Stephen waved his hand signalling Holor to leave. ''Damn you. After I watch Edmond and Udo die with my own eyes, I willpletely destroy this Kingdom along with the entire province.'' While leaving the royal pce, Holor''s face turned ugly as he silently muttered to himself. ..... Inside the cave, After ming themselves for letting Holor get away, both of them started thinking about what they have to do now. ''It looks like the other great families will also support Holor.'' After thinking for some time, Edmond seriously said to Udo as he started giving out his reasons to Udo. Actually, if they sessfully killed Holor, then the royal family would have not bothered with them because it is just a waste of time. As for the other family, they would have closed their eyes also because they know the Hammergust family is making some deals with the abyss devils. So, they were having a? slight fear of the Hammergust family. Even though the Hammergust family was entirely wiped out except for the main head, they have to at least show some support; otherwise, they know up to what extremes Holor could go. Moreover, they also didn''t like an individual who had the power to wipe an entire great family living on his own because they feared they might be the next Hammergust family. So, along with the royal family, they also started giving rewards for giving information about Edmond and Udo. As Edmond expected, the other four great families were also doing the same thing as the royal family and that is posting rewards for the information on Edmond and Udo. ''Swoosh'' While they were thinking, a silhouette appeared in the cave. ***** cageraymortal and Niscka, thanks for the BALLOONS. Chapter 917: Dark Fire Elemental Spirit

Chapter 917: Dark Fire Elemental Spirit

''Swoosh'' Soon, the silhouette materialized into a humanoid shape before looking at Edmond. Seeing the sudden appearance of the silhouette in the cave, Udo was surprised; however, Edmond raised his eyebrows and there was no surprised look on his face. "Summoning master, there is someoneing towards the cave." In the next second, the ckish red-coloured elemental spirit replied to Edmond in a respectful manner. That''s right! It was an elemental spirit and it called Edmond as ''Summoning master''. ''...'' When he heard those words, Udo was speechless as he looked at Edmond with a surprised look on his face. "Thanks for informing. You can go back to your duty and continue to keep an eye on my surroundings." Edmond looked at Udo but he didn''t say anything to him; instead, he nodded his head at his elemental spirit as he ordered him to go back to his duty. "Yes, summoning master." Since the elemental spirit knew how powerful his summoning master was, he didn''t bother to say anything and just dissolved into the ground before disappearing. "It might be one of the top 10 mercenary squads. Be prepared to kill anyone thates through the entrance." As a mercenary for a few years, Edmond picked up many things and he knew who could track him in such a short time. So, he asked Udo to be careful. "I will." While maintaining the same surprised look on his face, Udo nodded his head at Edmond and focused on the entrance of the cave which was covered by a huge boulder and some bushes. "Why are you shocked after seeing my elemental spirit? You know I am a summoner, right?" All of a sudden, Edmond asked Udo with a smallugh. Even though they were in a tough situation right now, Edmond could not help butugh at Udo when he saw the surprised look on his face. "I know that you are a summoner but I don''t know you are a dual elemental summoner." Soon, Udo''s surprised look reced with a scoff as he continued saying, "What can I expect from you? You never even showed me your elemental spirits. Even at the life and death situations, you never used them as though summoning them would decrease your lifespan." "Actually, I am not a dual elemental summoner." After hearing Udo''s words, Edmond''sugh increased even more as he shook his head and continued saying, "Don''t get fooled with the elemental spirit''s colour. Not all ck-coloured elemental spirits will belong to dark or shadow elements." "Then?" "The elemental spirit you have just seen is a fire elemental spirit; however, he mutated after I formed a contract with him and became a dark fire elemental spirit." With a slight smile on his face, Edmond replied to Udo''s question. "So, how many elemental spirits do you have? Five? I know you will have three official elemental spirits but I wonder how many unofficial elemental spirits you have." After hearing Edmond''s words, Udo felt a little more knowledge about the elemental spirits as he continued asking, "With your persuasion talents, I will not be surprised even if you have five unofficial elemental spirits." Even though Udo and Edmond were close and adventuring for years, Udo didn''t know anything about Edmond''s elemental spirits or how many more elemental spirits he had in his spirit consciousness. Moreover, today is the first day he had seen one of Edmond''s elemental spirits. So, he became a lot more curious as he asked more questions to Edmond. "Everyone be careful." Just after Udo finished his words, they heard a loud voice from the outside. "Today is not the time." Hearing the voice from the outside, Edmond''s face turned ugly because he knew who was the owner of the voice. So, he looked at Udo and shook his head. ''I doubt you would have answered all my questions even if he didn''te.'' Simrly, Udo had recognized the voice and knew who was outside the cave; however, he scoffed at Edmond because Udo was very sure that he would not get any answers from Edmond. Even when Edmond was almost near a life and death situation, he didn''t dare to use his elemental spirits or other trump cards. So, Udo didn''t think Edmond was going to answer his questions even if the Quickthunder mercenary squad didn''te. "The day is very near when you can see all my elemental spirits." Despite the fact Udo''s voice was very low, Edmond was able to hear them as he replied to Udo with a slight smile on his face. "Yeah yeah. I know and when that dayes, I might not even be alive." Udo didn''t have many expectations because he knew about Edmond for many years. So, if he didn''t want someone to see his elemental spirits, even if he died, he is not going to summon them. ''Keep your voice down. I think you already know who is outside the cave, right?'' Edmond shook his head as he diverted the topic. ''Of course, I know. The one who mocked you in front of everyone for having very low cultivation among the top 10 mercenary squads. How could I forget him?'' Soon, Udo smiled as he replied to Edmond. ''...'' Edmond was speechless at Udo''s words because he was just trying to divert the topic; however, Udo really knew how to annoy him. ''If you continue to annoy me, I am not going to watch your back. Soo, you better be careful when you annoy me.'' Edmond scoffed at Udo as he transmitted his voice to Udo through voice transmission. ''Haha...look, who is talking about watching my back. If not for me, you would have already died more than a dozen times. So, you better return the favour; otherwise, I will haunt you to death.'' As for Udo, after hearing Edmond''s words, he could not help butugh as he mocked Edmond to watch his back in their future fights. ... **** cageraymortal, Ringers4, thanks for the LOLLIPOPS. Chapter 918: Poisoned Boulder

Chapter 918: Poisoned Boulder

Even though the conversation between Edmond and Udo might seem a little heated; however, it was their regr conversation. Moreover, after their conversation, their earlier self-me and all other negative emotions disappeared into thin air. ¡­.. While Edmond and Udo were having their usual conversation with one another in the cave, outside the cave, the Quickthunder mercenary squad members and Ajax were moving in closer to the cave. ''Captain Berk, are you sure they are hidden inside this cave?'' One of the squad members asked the captain with a worried expression. The captain of the Quickthunder mercenary squad is Berk and he always thinks a lot about improving his cultivation and getting more cultivation. ''Do you think I have the ability to see through stone walls or what? We need to confirm it was them in the cave before going back to inform the royal family about it.'' Captain Berk whispered back at the squad member with a face full of annoyance. ''But Captain Berk, what will happen if we alert Captain Edmond and Udo in the process?'' ording to what the squad members knew, their captain was weaker than Captain Edmond and as for them, there should not be anyparison. So, if they alert Captain Edmond, they very well knew that there would be no next birthday for them. ''Idiots.'' Looking at the faces of his squad members, Captain Berk became irritated and annoyed a lot because his own squad members were not believing him that he could fight Captain Edmond on equal terms. ''Don''t worry. I have this. As long as I see Captain Edmond, I am going to use it to capture him. At that time, our reward will also increase by manyfold.'' Looking at his squad members, Captain Berk took out a red-coloured talisman from his space ring as he showed it to his squad members. ''Huh?'' Ajax and all the squad members looked at the red-coloured talisman in Captain Berk''s hands and raised their brows because they had never seen it. Moreover, they didn''t have much knowledge in Talisman-making. ''Appraise'' However, it was not a problem for Ajax as he had the ability to appraise any item within legend grade. ''Ding, Item name:- Senses sealing talisman. Effect:- As long as it is used on the target, he or she will not move for the next 24 hours. Basically, all his senses will be sealed for 24 hours. Limitations:- It only works on the cultivators below King realm. More information:- The talisman was found by Captain Berk in an old inheritance ground. ''Holy heavens'' Ajax was surprised when he saw the information about the talisman in Captain Berk''s hand because he knew that as long as Captain Berk uses that talisman, Captain Edmond would not win. ''I will not say much about it but all you need to know is that this talisman is enough to take care of that so-called Captain Edmond.'' Captain Berk scoffed at his squad members as he continued to say in the same whispering manner, ''I have saved it for years and I am hoping to get a good reward from the royal family.'' Captain Berk was keeping the talisman with him for many years; however, currently, his cultivation was not progressing much and he needed a good cultivation resource to make a break through. Moreover, it was said that Edmond had many trump cards, Captain Berk felt he had to use a trump card of his own to go against Captain Edmond. ''So, everyone, be careful. I don''t want anything to go wrong today.'' After saying those words, Captain Berk slowly reached the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave. ''Move away from a little.'' He said those words to his squad members and he didn''t wait for them to move away before he used a punch to break the boulder into pieces. ''Aargh'' As soon as the boulder broke into pieces, two of the Quickthunder mercenary squad members fell to the ground as they started groaning. ''Aargh'' ''Aarghh'' With time, their groans became louder before leaving theirst breath. ''What the hell? How did they die?'' All the Quickthunder mercenary squad members were shocked to see that two of their own died right in front of their eyes without knowing how. Even though they saw the injuries from the rock shards from destroying the boulder on those two squad members, they were very sure that their fellow squad members didn''t die because of those rock shards. ''Holy heck! If my senses were not upgraded by the demonization, I would have died just like them.'' As for Ajax, when he thought about it, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat because he dodged a couple of small rocks. ''Damn it...I should have expected it.'' However, Captain Berk became furious when he thought of how his squad members must have died. ''That entire boulder was poisoned with something. You better don''t touch those rock shards if you want to live.'' Soon, Captain Berk controlled his emotions as he exined the reason behind the death of his squad member. ''What? Poisoned?'' All the squad members were shocked as they never heard that someone would poison a boulder. ''As expected of Captain Edmond. Always cautious and careful.'' Unlike them, Ajax silently thought to himself as he continued thinking, ''I wonder how many more traps are ced by Captain Edmond and Uncle Udo. I have to be careful; otherwise, it is no use staying alive until now.'' When that thought came to his mind, Ajax thought to be careful from here onwards while entering the cave. ''Captain Berk, I think there would be more traps. What do you think we should do?'' One of the squad members silently transmitted his voice to Captain Berk. Even though the Quickthunder mercenary squad members were not very intelligent, they were not fools either. So, they were able to guess there would be more hidden traps in the cave. ''Why are you worried about the traps? We already have someone to test them, right?'' *** No gifts. Chapter 919: Entering the cave

Chapter 919: Entering the cave

''Why are you worried about the traps? We already have someone to test them, right?'' Captain Berk looked at his squad members as he revealed an evil smile on his face. ''Hm'' All the squad members looked at each other before looking at Ajax with pity; however, they were not going to back Ajax because he was not their friend or rtive. ''Kid, go inside the cave and check whether Captain Edmond and Udo are inside it.'' Soon, Captain Berk looked at Ajax with an amicable smile; however, in Ajax''s view, it was not suitable for his face. ''What? Me? Captain Berk, isn''t it dangerous for me to go?'' Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect to be cannon fodder for the Quickthunder mercenary squad. So, he whispered to them with a shocked look on his face. ''I didn''t think you were such a coward.'' ''No wonder, your squad left you in the middle of the cursed wilderness.'' ''You can barely run, barely fight and whine a lot. So, what is the use in taking you with us?'' Hearing Ajax''s words, all the squad members became furious and started mocking him. ''You guys, wait for a second.'' Seeing that all his squad members were furious, the captain of the squad stopped them as he turned his head at Ajax before saying, ''Kid, this is not a request. It''s an order. Since we are helping you in getting out of this Cursed Wilderness, you have to contribute something, right?'' ''...'' Ajax was speechless at their words as he thought, ''You are basically sending me to my death and saying that you are helping me out.'' Ajax cursed the entire Quickthunder mercenary squad as he nodded his head, ''I will enter the cave.'' ''Good.'' ''That''s how you repay someone''s kindness.'' ''You will be a top cultivator someday, kid.'' Soon, all the squad members started encouraging him as they sent him to his possible death. ''Compared to the demons that try to invade us, you are the real demons in human clothing.'' Ajax cursed all the squad members as he silently moved towards the entrance. ''Captain Edmond, I am Ajax.'' How could Ajax just enter into his death? So, before he could enter the cave, he stopped in his tracks as he tried tomunicate with Captain Edmond. Even though Ajax didn''t know how deep the cave was and how many traps were hidden in the cave, he wanted to make sure that he would not be killed in the process of entering the cave. So, he wanted to contact Captain Edmond and wanted to know the traps beforehand. ''Ajax?'' Soon, Ajax got a reply from Captain Edmond that made Ajax excited as he immediately replied, ''Yes, Captain Edmond. I am Ajax.'' ''Why are you here? Did you get captured by the Quickthunder mercenary squad?'' Captain Edmond hurriedly asked a couple of questions. ''Everyone, I think, Captain Edmond must be severely injured. That is the only reason why he ced so many traps here. So, all we need to do is just fight him without using any trump cards.'' While Ajax wasmunicating with Captain Edmond, Captain Berk was preparing his squad members with his words. Since Edmond was using hidden traps, then Captain Berk was assuming that he was injured while massacring the Hammergust family. ''Captain Edmond, they were using me to test the hidden traps. How could I enter the cave?'' After exchanging a few sentences, Ajax asked for the hidden traps. ''There are...'' ''Edmond, wait for a second. Are you sure that he is Ajax? What if Captain Berk was using some technique to fool us?'' Just when Captain Edmond was about to talk about the traps, Udo interrupted him and asked Edmond whether the owner of the voice was Ajax or not? ''Hmm?'' Edmond felt what Udo said might be possible as he fell into a dilemma to inform Ajax about the hidden traps. ''Sigh..there is no change in Uncle Udo''s behaviour. He will doubt me that I am a demonic cultivator even if I be a King realm cultivator.'' As for Ajax, he could not help but sigh when he heard Udo''s words because Udo was known for his over cautiousness. ''Haha'' Hearing Ajax''s words, Edmond could not help butugh before saying, ''Walk straight into the cave until you see three tunnels and enter the left tunnel which is wide open without any traps.'' With Ajax''s earlier, Edmond was very sure that it was Ajax because no one knew that Udo always thinks Ajax was a demonic cultivator. ''Okay.'' Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. ''Kid, what happened to you? Why are you not entering the cave?'' Seeing that Ajax was standing in the same ce for a while now, Captain Berk could not help but berate him. ''Going going.'' With a face full of disgust, Ajax nodded his head as he entered the cave without wasting any more time. ''Good. As long as we get out of this Cursed Wilderness, you will be rewarded with some good rewards.'' Before Captain Berk could say those words, Ajax already entered into the cave. ''Captain Berk, looks like he is definitely going to die.'' ''Yes. Captain Berk. The way he ran makes me think that he has already lost hope in getting out alive from here.'' Seeing that Ajax was running into the cave at an incredible speed, all the squad members of the Quickthunder mercenary squad members could not help but make fun of Ajax. ''Idiots. Stop making fun of him. Let''s see whether he is still alive or not. As long as he triggers three or four hidden traps, it will be worth his life.'' Captain Berk scoffed at his squad members as he moved forward to check the insides of the cave. Since it was very dark in the cave, Captain Berk was only able to see some distance into the cave; however, after looking into the cave for something, he frowned. ***** Mitchell_Overbeck, thanks for the LOLLIPOP.

Chapter 920: Ryan Covernheart

The moment Captain Berk was unable to see Ajax in the cave, he used his senses to check on him. However, he was unable to sense Ajax even with his senses. ''Where did he go?'' Captain Berk could not help but frown as he wondered about Ajax. Even though Captain Berk knew that Ajax was inside the cave; however, he was not expecting Ajax to disappear the moment he entered the cave. ''Captain Berk, what shall we do now?'' One of the squad members also looked for Ajax; however, except for the darkness inside the cave, he was unable to see Ajax. So, he asked his squad captain what to do next. "Looks like we need to use one of our own to reveal the traps." After saying those words, Captain Bek pushed the squad member who asked him about ''what to do next'' into the cave. "Captain Berk." The squad member was not expecting that his squad captain would push him. So, before he could notice, he was already inside the cave. ''Check for the traps.'' Without bothering the squad member''s shouts, Captain Berk transmitted his voice to that squad member to check for the traps. ''...'' Seeing that, all the squad members of the Quickthunder mercenary squad were speechless at their captain and at the same time, they were a little anxious inside their hearts because they didn''t know who would be the next one to enter the cave. ¡­.. Inside the cave, ''Ajax, here.'' After Ajax entered the tunnel on his left side, he travelled less than 100 meters before he heard the familiar voice. ''Captain Edmond.'' Ajax was excited as he hurriedly rushed towards Captain Edmond and Udo. ''Now, tell me how did you end up with the Quickthunder mercenary squad?'' The first thing Edmond asked Ajax was about how he mixed up with that mercenary squad. ''I was training in the middle section of the cursed wilderness when I heard that Quickthunder mercenary squad talk about you and uncle Udo. So, I disguised myself as some random mercenary and joined them; however, they used me to test the traps inside the cave.'' Soon, Ajax exined everything except for the part where he came from the five elemental world. ''Don''t'' worry. You are now safe.'' After hearing Ajax''s words, Edmond nodded his head. At the side, even Udo nodded his head at Ajax''s words because he believed them. Even though Udo used to doubt Ajax for a demonic cultivator, after receiving Ajax''s valuable gift, Udo stopped doubting because ording to the guild master and others, Ajax had a powerful master who teaches him through the dreams. ''Captain Edmond, what did you do that even the royal family wants your head?'' After that, Ajax asked about Edmond and Udo''s situation. Even though he travelled with the Quickthunder mercenary squad, Ajax was unable to find out what Edmond and Udo had done. ''Sigh..'' With a long sigh, Captain Edmond started exining everything that happened from how the Hammergust family tried to kill them using the abyss devils to how he took revenge so that the other great families would think twice before nning to harm him. ... In the Covenheart family, "Brother Gebar, you have to help me in taking revenge against that low-life Edmond." Family head Holor asked a middle-aged man sitting on the high seat. The middle-aged man was none other than the family head of the Covenheart family Gebar Covenheart. Other than Gebar and Holor, there was another middle-aged man standing beside Gebar who was watching Holor with a face full of disgust. If Ajax was here, he would have recognized that man standing beside family head Holor. He was none other than Ryan Covenheart who Ajax had once met in the cursed wilderness. Instead of saying met him, it could be said that Ajax had saved his life along with the life of his niece. "Sorry, brother Holor. Right now, our family has its own internal issues to settle. So, I am very sorry for not being helpful to you." After hearing Holor''s words, Gebar was not worried much as he already knew about it. So, with an apologetic look on his face, Gebar politely declined Holor Hammergust''s request. ''...'' Holor clenched his fists when he heard the reply from Gebar; however, he knew that he was currently not in a position to force them to help him. Moreover, he didn''t have much to use to tempt the great families into helping him. Even though he had one thing; he could not promise it to the other family heads because he was currently watched by the royal shadow who was hidden in his own shadow. "Brother Holor, I heard that the royal family has already issued a reward for any information on Edmond and Udo along with other things like getting their heads or capturing them alive. So, I don''t think you have to worry much." Soon, Gebar said to Holor who was clenching his fist in anger and cursing the family heads of the great families. Because it was not the first great family that didn''t want to help him. Among all the great families, the Foreglow family head and Terratide family head didn''t even meet him. So, he was cursing all the great families a lot. "Okay." Since he already got a reply from the family head Gebar, Holor''s face revealed a cold look as he scoffed at Gebar before walking out of the Covenheart family. "Damn you...damn you...damn you all." As soon as he came out of the Covenheart family, Holor became very angry as he started cursing all the family heads openly. ''Once the royal family gets the head of Edmond and Udo, I will see how you will live in the Zrochester province peacefully? Since my family is destroyed and you are not helping me, then there is no need for your families to exist anymore.'' Soon, Holor started nning something in his mind as he started walking back to the royal family. **** Niscka, offline_6244, thanks for the BALLOON. Cageraymortal, thanks for your regr gifts. Chapter 921: Change of plans

Chapter 921: Change of ns

"Captain Edmond, what shall we do now?" Inside the cave of the cursed wilderness, Ajax asked Captain Edmond about his n regarding the Quickthunder mercenary squad. Even though Ajax had enough power to erase the Quickthunder mercenary squad, he didn''t want to randomly kill the people without knowing the reason. Right now, Ajax found out the reason why the Quickthunder mercenary squad is searching for Captain Edmond and Udo. However, since he already met with Captain Edmond and Udo, Ajax didn''t bother to waste his strength on the Quickthunder mercenary squad. "Since they want our heads, they should be ready for me to take their heads." All of a sudden, the environment in the cave turned serious as Edmond replied to Ajax with an evil look on his face. In this world, the cultivators didn''t think much about killing other cultivators. Moreover, the Quickthunder mercenary squad came to kill him. So, Captain Edmond would not feel anything even if kill the entire squad. "The traps ced in the cave will kill everyone except for Captain Berk. So, at that time, let''s see who will have thestugh." From the side, Udo walked towards Ajax with an evil smile as Edmond. ''...'' Ajax was speechless when he saw the evil smile and evil look on Udo and Edmond respectively; however, he was not shocked much though. After saying those words, Captain Edmond and Udo sat down and waited for the Quickthunder mercenary squad to get killed by themselves. As for Ajax, he also waited to see how many would survive from the hidden traps ced by Edmond and Udo. .... Outside the cave. Captain Berk and his squad members were waiting for a green signal from the squad member who entered the cave. ''Everyone, you can enter now.'' Soon, they got the green signal they were waiting for and without wasting any time, they slowly walked in the same footsteps of the squad member. Even though Captain Berk pushed that squad member into the cave, everyone knew that the squad member would not harm them. So, they followed behind him. ''Captain Berk, there are three tunnels here. Which one should we enter?'' Whether it was their luck or Captain Edmond''s bad luck, they didn''t trigger a single hidden trap until they reached the tunnel. After reaching the tunnel, one of the squad members asked Captain Berk about the tunnel. ''Since there are three tunnels, you form a two-man team and enter each tunnel. As for the vice-captain, he will stay with me.'' After thinking for a moment, Captain Berk formed three two-men teams and sent them into the three tunnels. ''Yes, Captain Berk.'' Without a choice, the six squad members nodded their heads with bitter smiles on their faces. They knew that if they went against Captain Berk''s orders, they would be killed right now. So, they wanted to try their luck going into the tunnel. By chance, if they encounter Captain Edmond, they thought to beg him to let them go and me their Captain Berk for forcing them into the tunnel. Since Captain Edmond was known for his leniency, they could have more chances of living with Captain Edmondpared to Captain Berk. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, one team entered the biggest tunnel hoping there would be fewer traps in that tunnel. ''Kacha'' ''Aargh'' ''Kacha'' Just as they took a step into the tunnel, sharp rocks appeared out of the walls of the tunnel piercing through their bodies. Within a few moments, they twitched a little before leaving their breaths forever. ''What?'' Everyone including Captain Berk got shocked when they saw how fast their squad members died without a chance to retaliate. ''Captain Berk, if you don''t mind, I have a suggestion for you.'' Looking at the two fallen squad members, one of the remaining squad members transmitted his voice to Captain Berk. ''Speak'' Clenching his fists, Captain Berk nodded his head at that squad member. ''I am very sure that Captain Edmond and Udo were hiding in the cave. So, why don''t we go back and inform the royal family?'' Since Edmond was hiding in one of the tunnels with many traps, that squad member gave the suggestion to go back to the royal family. ''Damn it...damn it.'' Captain Berk cursed Captain Edmond for hiding with many traps. ''I have to calm down.'' Soon, Captain Berk calmed himself down and started thinking about his squad member''s suggestion. ''Right!'' After thinking for a moment, Captain Berk came to a decision and said to his remaining five squad members, "Since we are not lucky enough to capture Edmond and Udo, it''s better for us to go back and inform the royal family to get the reward." While saying those words, Captain Berk didn''t bother to speak in voice transmission or whispers; instead, he spoke a little louder. ''Yes, Captain Berk. You are not as cruel as we think you are.'' ''Finally, Captain Berk was able to speak withmon sense.'' Most of them didn''t dare to say those words loudly and only said to themselves. "Everyone, let''s go." After saying those words, Captain Berk and his squad members left the cave the same way they entered it. ¡­. Deep inside the cave, "What the hell? They left just like that?" After hearing the words of Captain Berk, Captain Edmond and Udo were a little disappointed because it was not what they thought would happen. They thought that destroying the Qucikthunder mercenary squad would make the other mercenary squad away from them; however, right now, they were just leaving the cave. "Captain Edmond, it is not a good thing for them to leave. If we let them go, we have to find another hiding ce and arrange the hidden traps. It would be a troublesome job to do." Soon, Udo said to Captain Edmond with an anxious look on his face. "There is that again." Captain Edmond revealed a troublesome look on his face as he stood up. **** Niscka, cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 922: Hazegroove squad versus Quickthunder squad

Chapter 922: Hazegroove squad versus Quickthunder squad

Captain Edmond stood up before saying to Udo and Ajax, ''What are we waiting for? Let''s go.'' Without waiting for a reply from Udo and Ajax, Captain Edmond started walking out of the cave. "I am always ready for some action." Udo liked to fight those he hated and among those he hated, the Quickthunder mercenary squad would be one. So, without wasting any time, he followed Edmond. ''...'' As for Ajax, he was speechless looking at Edmond and Udo; however, he also followed them. ..... Some distance away from the cave, ''Everyone, be ready to use your strongest attacks the moment you see Captain Edmond. I will also use the talisman to seal his senses. Let''s see how he will escape this time from us.'' Captain Berk was silently transmitting his orders to his squad members through the voice transmission. Actually, Captain Berk and his squad members didn''t leave very far from the cave because Captain Berk had some sort of n. After hearing their captain''s n, everyone went into hiding and kept an eye in the direction of the cave. ''Damn you, Edmond. I will see who will save you, today.'' As for Captain Berk, he revealed a cold smile on his face as he also retracted his senses and waited for Edmond and Udo toe out of the cave. The thing is, there was some bad blood between Captain Edmond and Captain Berk. In the past, Captain Berk used to be called the next legendary mercenary. So, he didn''t bother with the rank and at the same time, he stopped his strength and power in front of everyone. However, everything changed with the sudden appearance of Edmond. With just cultivation of the general realm, Edmond used toplete the dangerous missions and before anyone could notice, his squad became a top three mercenary squad. Soon after, people started saying that Edmond would be the next legendary mercenary. Even though Captain Berk insulted Captain Edmond in front of everyone, Captain Edmond ignored him because he knew he had to use his trump cards in front of everyone for a meaningless fight. Moreover, he could not openly fight Captain Edmond because it would give him a bad name that he fights the weak mercenaries without their consent. ''Finally, I got the chance to take care of that bastard. So, why would I allow others to kill him?'' That was the only thought in Captain Berk''s head as he waited for Captain Edmond toe out of the cave. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Captain Berk heard the moment from the direction of the cave and hurriedly alerted everyone, ''Everyone, be ready to use your trump cards as soon as I used my talisman.'' He once again reminded them to attack Edmond only after he uses his senses-sealing talisman. ''Yes, Captain Berk.'' Everyone nodded their heads and seriously looked at the iing figures. From the other side, Captain Edmond, Udo and Ajax were running towards them at a high speed. ''Senses-sealing talisman, go.'' Captain Berk waited until Edmond was within 100 meters range and threw the talisman in his hand at Edmond. ''Huh?'' Captain Edmond was shocked to see the sudden appearance of Captain Berk. So, he didn''t have the time to dodge the iing talisman. Nevertheless, just when the talisman was about to touch him, Captain Edmond mysteriously disappeared from his ce. ''Puchi'' As for the talisman, it was attached to Udo who was next to Captain Edmond. ''Thud'' The moment the ''Senses-sealing talisman'' attached to himself, Udo fell to the ground with a shocked face. ''What the hell? Why can''t I move?'' Udo was shocked because he can''t move his body and he can''t even speak or transmit his voice to others. ''What the hell?'' Not only Udo but even Captain Berk was shocked to the core because he didn''t expect that the target he set for the ''Senses-sealing talisman'' would be changed. ''Everyone, attack now.'' Since his greatest trump card was already wasted, Captain Berk didn''t want it go for nothing. So, he asked all his squad members to attack Udo. As for Edmond, he had already got the information about the talisman from Ajax. So, he was careful when he saw the talisman; however, what he didn''t expect was that Udo would be right beside him. ''Ajax, take Udo with you and go away from here.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t let anyone harm Udo. So, he asked Ajax to take care of Udo while he took care of the Quickthunder mercenary squad. ''Yes, Captain Edmond.'' Ajax was excited to see what Edmond was going to do with the Quickthunder mercenary squad. ''it,e out and use your ''Earth Shield''.'' Even though he nodded his head, he didn''t move from his ce as he wanted to see the true power of Edmond. So, he summoned it and asked him to use his Earth shield. ''Yes, brother Ajax.'' As soon as it appeared, he nodded his head at Ajax before summoning a khaki colour barrier around Ajax and Udo. ''Bounce'' ''Dong'' All the attacks from the Quickthunder mercenary squad members were either bounced back at them or destroyed by the barrier making everyone present in that ce get shocked. ''What the hell?'' ''He is a summoner?'' ''Why didn''t we hear his name?'' ''Moreover, why is he helping Captain Edmond?'' Once they saw Ajax summon an earth elemental spirit and block their attack, everyone was shocked as they asked among themselves about Ajax. "Captain Edmond, you take care of Captain Berk and his vice-captain. As for these people, I will take care of them." Ajax didn''t bother about their words as he replied to Captain Edmond. "..." This time, it was Captain Edmond''s turn to get speechless at Ajax''s words; however, he didn''t say anything because he always knew that Ajax was as simple as he appeared. "Let''s show them the power of the Hazegroove mercenary squad." As soon as he finished his words, Captain Edmond rushed at Captain Berk and his vice-captain. **** KingRig, thanks for GRIMOIRE. cageraymortal, thanks for a BALLOON and a LOLLIPOP.

Chapter 923: Killing with a snap

''What? A level 2 general realm cultivator wants to fight four of us alone?'' ''What a big joke?'' ''Captain Berk, Vice-captain, we will kill this brat and Udo beforeing to help you. Just hang in there.'' ''What are we wasting our time for? Let''s go and finish him.'' After hearing Captain Edmond''s words, Ajax nodded his head before looking at the squad members of the Quickthunder mercenary squad with a slight smile. Seeing that smile, all the squad members were frustrated and became furious. So, they mocked Ajax before rushing towards him. ''Who needs your help? Captain Berk and I could take care of Captain Edmond. Just don''t mess up by killing that brat and Udo.'' As for the Vice-captain of the squad, he scoffed at the squad members. As the long member of the Quickthunder mercenary squad, the vice-captain knew how powerful Captain Berk was. So, he didn''t think it would be a problem for both of them to take care of Edmond. ''Die brat.'' Nevertheless, the squad members were not bothered with the vice captain''s words as they rushed towards Ajax in order to kill him. Even though they still didn''t know the rtionship between Ajax and the Hazegroove mercenary squad, they didn''t want to waste any time. Looking at the iing squad members, Ajax didn''t bother to move because he was very sure that the Earth shield would not let them in. ''Putong'' ''Dong'' Four squad members collided with the Earth shield before bouncing back. ''What the hell?'' ''How can that barrier stop us from entering?'' ''Let''s use our strongest attacks. Let''s see whether it will still withstand them or not?'' Seeing that the barrier was created by Ajax''s earth elemental spirit, all the squad members were shocked at first andter they became furious. So, they decided to use their full-powered attacks. ''Absolute darkness.'' However, before they could use any of their attacks, Ajax revealed a cold smile on his face as he uttered two words. ''Putong'' ''Thud'' ''Aargh'' ''What is happening...aargh'' ''Someone help me...I can''t endure this pain any longer.'' The four squad members of the Quick Thunder mercenary squad fell to the ground as they rolled on the ground while clutching their heads. They didn''t know what was happening to them but the pain in their heads be more and more with the flow of time. ''Kill me.'' ''I beg you...please kill me.'' Only when they noticed the cold smile on Ajax''s face, they understood the reason why they were experiencing so much pain was Ajax and soon, they started begging him to kill them. That''s right! They asked Ajax to kill them because the pain was too much for them to take. Instead of experiencing that pain, they felt they would be better off dying. "Since you want to die, I will fulfil your wish." Without any hesitation, Ajax snapped his fingers after saying those words. ''...'' As soon as he snapped his fingers, there wasplete silence around him as four squad members died. ''Ding, The host killed four elite general realm cultivators. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. Soon, Ajax got the usual system notifications that informed him about the death of the four squad members. ''What the hell? Only 1000 units?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw how many units of the essence of nature he gained from killing four elite general realm cultivators. In the past, he used to get at least 1000 units of the essence of nature for killing a single elite general realm cultivator; however, he became angry when he saw he got only 1000 units of the essence of nature for killing four elite general realm cultivators. ''Ding, As the strength of the host increases, the basic reward he gains from killing his enemies would be less. ''Sigh'' Seeing that, Ajax could not help but sigh. He didn''t know whether he shouldugh for bing stronger with time or his reward getting decreased along with that. ''Whatever getting the essence of nature is always easy; however, bing stronger is not.'' Soon, Ajax came to a conclusion and stopped bothering about the essence of nature. ''What?'' Captain Edmond, Captain Berk, Udo and the vice captain of the Quickthunder mercenary squad were shocked when they saw the scene at the side. A few moments ago, Captain Edmond was fighting Captain Berk and his vice; however, when they heard the pain groans from the distance, they stopped their fight for some time to see what was happening with the squad members of the Quickthunder mercenary squad. When they saw how those squad members were begging Ajax to kill them, they were shocked and what''s more, they saw that Ajax killed them with a snap of his finger. ''When did he be that strong?'' Captain Edmond and Udo thought to themselves as they looked at Ajax in a different light. Even though Udo was still unable to move his body, he could watch what was happening around him. ''Who is he exactly?? Why have I never heard of such a monster?'' Captain Berk looked at Ajax as though he was seeing a monster beforeing to a conclusion, ''I have to kill him at any cost. I should not let him grow any more? than he already has.'' "I am your opponent, not him." While Captain Berk was thinking about killing Ajax, he saw Captain Edmond appear right in front of him with his crystal sword. "Huh? You are already using your sword? Good." No matter how careless Captain Berk was, he was still a level 10 elite general realm cultivator which was five minor realms higher than Captain Edmond. So, Captain Edmond summoned his sword to block the iing attack. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, the vice-captain also started attacking Edmond with his spear. "I don''t have much time to y with you. So, I am going to end it right now." As soon as he finished his words, the environment around Edmond changed that made Captain Berk shake a little. ***** Kydonovan82, thanks for the GRIMOIRE.

Chapter 924: Elemental Spirit Dart

Not only Captain Berk, even Ajax and Udo who were very far from Captain Edmond felt the sudden change in the environment. ''Looks like Captain Edmond is going to use one of his trump cards.'' The moment Ajax felt the change, he became a little excited as he watched Captain Edmond with an interesting look on his face. Udo was struggling to watch Captain Edmond too because he knew Edmond would rarely use the trump cards. So, he didn''t want to miss it. However, Udo was unable to move his little finger much less his body. So, he looked at Ajax hoping Ajax would help him. Since Udo was unable to speak even with his voice transmission, all he could do was stare at Ajax. ''Huh?'' As for Ajax, he felt Udo''s gaze and shook his head before helping Udo to watch the fight between Captain Edmond and Captain Berk. ''What is he going to do?'' Both Captain Berk and the vice-captain became anxious when they saw the evil smile on Captain Edmond''s face and started preparing their strongest defensive move. Even though Captain Edmond''s cultivation wasparatively low with Captain Berk''s cultivation, Edmond was known for showing great battle prowess even with the low cultivation realm. So, they didn''t hesitate even a little bit as they directly used their strongest defensive move. "No matter what kind of defensive move you use, you are not going to survive." Looking at the anxious Captain Berk and his vice-captain, Edmond could not help but mock them as he shouted, "Dart, finish them." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, a shadow came out of Captain Berk''s shadow and entered into his body beforeing out and entering into his vice captain''s body. ''Swoosh'' After passing through the two bodies, the ckish red-coloured elemental spirit appeared beside Captain Edmond as looked at the burning bodies of Captain Berk and his vice-captain. That''s right! Both the bodies were burning with ckish-red mes. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' Only the painful cries of Captain Berk and his vice-captain resounded in the surroundings making all the surrounding spirit beasts run away from that ce. ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax was shocked to see the ckish red-coloured elemental spirit standing beside Captain Edmond. ''Swoosh'' Without any hesitation, Ajax ran towards Captain Edmond. "Ajax, meet my elemental spirit, Dart. Dart, he is Ajax, an official summoner." Seeing Ajax crushing towards him, Edmond revealed a slight smile on his face as he introduced his elemental spirit to Ajax and vice versa. "Hello, Dart." With a huge smile, Ajax greeted the ckish red-coloured elemental spirit beside Captain Edmond. "Hi." The elemental spirit greeted Ajax with a friendly smile on his face. Even though the elemental spirit met Ajax today itself, for some reason, he felt close to Ajax and that is the only reason why he greeted Ajax. ''Huh?'' Captain Edmond was shocked when he saw the friendly smile on his first elemental spirit for the first time. Even though it''s been years since he formed a contract with it, it never revealed a smile. So, it was a great shock for Edmond. But what he didn''t know was that Ajax''s title ''Dark Elementalist made the dark-fire dual elemental spirit closer to Ajax and that is the reason why Dark revealed a friendly smile at him. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Dart. Element type:- Dark and Fire. Cultivation:- Leve 10 elite general elemental spirit. Skills:-Shadow sleep (level 6), Shadow jump (level 5), Dark firestorm (level 4), Fire clones (level 3), Fire healing (level 2) and Internal burn (level 1). Elementalws:- None More information:- An elemental spirit that was previously betrayed by his own master leaving hate humans; however, Edmond was able to convince it into forming a contract with him. ''He got some cool skills here.'' While Edmond was wondering about the friendly smile on his first elemental spirit, Ajax was busy checking information on the elemental spirit. Ajax was mainly focused on skills because only they could give the excitement. ''No elementalw.'' Ajax was not surprised that the elemental spirit didn''t have any elementalw because it is very hard for any being to learn anyw in the Zrochester province. ''Huh?'' However, in the holographic screen in front of him, thest section made him raise his brows. Because he didn''t think that Dart already had a contract with someone in the past. So, when Ajax saw that he was betrayed by his own master, he felt pity towards him. However, after reminding himself how powerful Dart has be now, Ajax didn''t feel any pity and thought, ''Finally, he found the right master.'' There are many ways a summoner could betray his elemental spirit and among them, sending his elemental spirit to a confirmed death battle just to save his own life would be the biggest. Even though Ajax didn''t know in what sense Dart''s previous summoning master betrayed him, he felt it had something like what he assumed. Next, Ajax started checking the skills one by one in detail. ''Ding, Skill name:- Shadow sleep (level 6) Effect:- The elemental spirit can sleep in the shadow of his summoning master and increase its cultivation just by sleeping. Note:- The longer he sleeps, the stronger he will be. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to read the effect of the first skill itself as he thought, ''What kind of concept is that? Just by sleeping, he could sleep. No wonder, Captain Edmond didn''t summon it out casually.'' ''With a shadow jump, he could easily travel between the shadows of the beings.'' ''Dark firestorm is an area skill that could destroy anything thates in its way.'' ''With level 3 fire clone skill, he could summon five clones of himself with 80 percent ofo his original battle prowess.'' Soon, Ajax started reading the information of three skills in a row; however, when he read thest two skills, he felt Dart is so overpowered. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for a BALLOON and a LOLLIPOP. Niscka, thanks for a BALLOON. Chapter 925: Fire healing and Internal burn

Chapter 925: Fire healing and Internal burn

The reason why he felt that Dart was so overpowered was because of a variety of skills. Except for a defensive skill, the dark fire dual elemental spirit had all the skills any elemental spirit needed. The first four skills would help the elemental spirit to cultivate, escape, a wide range of attacking and support from his clones. As for thest two skills, Ajax once again read the information about them. ''Ding, Skill name:- Fire healing (Level 2). Effect:- Using the dark fire on his body to heal all his injuries within a couple of minutes. Note:- 1) The skill has a cooldown of one hour. 2) With the increase in the level of the skill, the time taken to recover and cool down period will be decreased even more. ''Ding, Skill name:- Internal burn (level 1). Effect:- The elemental spirit can pass through anyone with the same cultivation or below than himself. After passing through anyone, their internal organs will be burned before burningpletely. ''Even though it only has two attacking skills, they are very powerful. Moreover, once the elemental spirit enters the King realm, it would awaken even more powerful skills.'' ''Moreover, a single powerful skill is enough to destroy his opponent.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as thought about something. ''Dart, take this and use it.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax took out something from his inventory before throwing it at the Dark-Fire dual elemental spirit. ''Huh?'' Dart caught it with a frown; however, when he saw what it was, his heart anxiously started beating. "What is it?" Edmond was seeing his elemental spirit give emotions that it didn''t give before. So, he was curious about what Ajax had given to his elemental spirit. "It is an elementalw stone." Soon, Dart controlled his emotions as he replied to his summoning master with an emotionless look on his face. ''What?'' When Edmond heard that, he was shocked to the core and looked at Ajax with a face full of uncertainty. He didn''t know whether he should let his elemental spirit keep it or give it back. However, deep down he wanted to let his elemental spirit keep that elementalw stone. "You don''t have to worry about it, Captain Edmond. It was given to me by my master to give it to your elemental spirit for looking after me in the early stages of my cultivation." Seeing the mixed emotions on Edmond''s face, Ajax hurriedly said to Edmond. "Your master? Right¡­.how could I forget it?" When he heard that it was elementalw stone from his elemental spirit, Edmond thought about how could Ajax get it; however, he forgot that Ajax had a powerful master in his dreams because he was shocked to the core and his brain stopped working for some time. "But this is such a valuable gift to repay. I don''t know how I am going to repay ...." "As I said, you already helped me a lot, Captain Edmond. When I didn''t know anything about cultivation, you helped me by exining things and giving cultivation resources." Before Edmond could finish his words, Ajax interrupted him and replied to Edmond that he had already helped him a lot. "..." After hearing those words, Edmond didn''t know what to say; however, he felt warm inside his heart. In this cultivation, it is very rare to find people who could repay good for good as mostly everyone repay good with evil. So, without saying anything, he didn''t ask his elemental spirit to return the elementalw stone back to Ajax. ''I will definitely help him for everything he has done for me.'' This was not the first time Ajax helped Edmond. Previously, he gave a monster peach that helped Edmond''s cultivation increase nearly a major realm. Moreover, he also gave a monster peach for Udo which saved his life when the Hammergust family tried to kill them using the Abyss devils. So, overall, Captain Edmond felt he was in debt for everything Ajax had done for him and his Hazegroove mercenary squad. "Thank you for such a valuable gift Ajax." Both Captain Edmond and his elemental spirit thanked Ajax as that was the only thing they could do right now. "The elementalw inside it is called ''Underworld fire''. With each level increment in it, you can summon more and more fire elementals from the underworld. It will suit you very much." Ajax shook his head when he saw how formal Captain Edmond was with him; however, he didn''t say anything regarding it; instead, he exined about the elementalw. Ajax got a few extra elementalw stones by killing the elemental spirits of Master Red. Since an elemental spirit can''t learn more than one elementalw from the elementalw stone, Ajax could only wait until he forms a contract with another fire elemental spirit. As for when he forms the contract with another elemental spirit, the only God knows. So, instead of keeping them in his inventory, he decided to give one of the elementalw stone to him. Moreover, he has another elementalw stone in his inventory in case he gets a new fire elemental spirit. "So, where should we go now, Captain Edmond?" After talking about the elementalw stone, Ajax asked Edmond about their next ns. "I am going to train in a special ce with Udo. If you want toe, you cane with us, it will help you a lot for sure." Captain Edmond answered Ajax''s question with a slight smile on his face making Ajax raise his brows. "What ce?" Ajax was curious about a ce where Captain Edmond and Udo could train. So, he asked about it. "It will be a surprise for you. Moreover, even Udo didn''t know about that ce. So, I will keep the suspense until we go to that ce." However, why would Edmond reveal the ce so soon? He kept it as suspense for Ajax and Udo. ''Damn you...did you forget about me?'' In the distance, Udo was cursing Edmond and Ajax for forgetting him. ***** Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON x 2. cageraymortal, thanks for a BALLOON and LOLLIPOP. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 926: Devil Elemental Spirit

Chapter 926: Devil Elemental Spirit

Since Udo was unable to move or talk with anyone because of the ''Sealing senses talisman'', he was internally cursing Edmond and Ajax. Udo felt like he waspletely invisible to them. "Speaking of Uncle Udo, what should we do? In his current situation, he can''t train." All of a sudden, Ajax spoke about Ajax as he turned to look at Udo who was currently looking at them with a hateful gaze. "Huh? What happened to you Uncle Udo?" Seeing the hateful look on his face, Ajax hurriedly rushed towards Ajax and behind him, Captain Edmond did the same. "Looks like he must be angry for not telling him about my secret training ce." After reaching Udo, Captain Edmond thought for a moment before saying those words. No matter how hard Udo tries tomunicate with others, in his current state, it is just a waste of time. So, except for guessing what Udoo was saying, Edmond and Ajax could not do much. Nevertheless, they stopped bothering with what Udo was trying to say; instead, they started nning their next actions. "Since Udo can''t move for the next 24 hours, it''s better for us to go back to the cave and rest there before going to the training ce." Looking at Udo, Captain Edmond came to a decision to go back to the cave where they were taking shelter earlier. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and agreed to Edmond''s decision. "Captain Edmond, I forgot something important." All of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his tracks as he remembered something. "Is it rted to the Sacred pool of the royal family?" Before Ajax could say anything, Edmond also remembered about it. "Yes, Captain Edmond." Ajax nodded his head. "You can go and enter the sacred pool for one week. After that, you cane back to the cave. I hope you will not have any problem travelling here alone." Captain Edmond revealed a slight smile as he replied to Ajax. "Thanks, Captain Edmond. This Cursed Wilderness is not a problem for me at all. I will meet you after one week." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax rushed towards the exit of the Cursed Wilderness. As for his words regarding the Cursed Wilderness being not a problem for him, Edmond believed it because the current Ajax was not what he used to know in the past. ''Only if my son was alive, they could have be good friends...Sigh.'' Looking at the disappearing silhouette of Ajax, Captain Edmond could not help but sigh. After that, Edmond picked up Udo before touching a few ces on his body that made Udo lose his consciousness. "Come out." After Udo lost his consciousness, Edmond muttered those words and all of a sudden, a one-meter thin red-coloured elemental spirit appeared behind him. "Clean everything. I don''t want anything rted to them left behind." "Yes, summoning master." After Captain Edmond finished his words, he didn''t bother with the remains of the Quickthunder mercenary squad as he was only focused on going back to the cave. As for the small elemental spirit, he revealed an evil smile while looking at the remains of the bodies in front of him. The elemental spirit has two small horns with a long tail with a sharp end. Just from the nce, anyone could say that he was definitely an evil elemental spirit. ''Swoosh'' After checking out all the remains in front of him, the small elemental spirit disappeared from its ce and after a few moments, there was not a single body in the ce. ''Blurgh'' ''It''s been so long since I tasted humans. They are the tastiest creatures I have ever eaten.'' The small elemental spirit rubbed his tiny stomach as he muttered to himself. ''Whoosh'' After saying those words, he didn''t stay there any longer as he disappeared from his ce. ..... ''I think the ''Sacred Pool'' will be opened tomorrow. I will just sit in the mercenary guild for today and visit the royal pce tomorrow.'' As for Ajax, he was running at his own pace as he started nning about what he had to do next. ''After this ''Sacred Pool'', I will go and im my ''Dimensional Crevice''.'' Ajax''s thoughts didn''t stop there as he continued to n, "And the most exciting thing will be going to other worlds to destroy them. I wonder whether I can move my dimensional crevice to other worlds." Along the way, he thought about his Dimensional Crevice. If he could move it to other worlds to which he had a ticket, then his chances of destroying the world and surviving in that world would be increased by a? lot. As long as the situation doesn''t go in his favour, he could just hide in his dimensional crevice. ''Once I gain full ownership of the ''Dimensional Crevice'', I can just know about it. So, there is no use wasting my time thinking about it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax continued to run in the direction of the mercenary guild. ''And I need to wait for another 10 hours before the construction of the elemental paradises is finished.'' Next, he thought about the elemental paradises and his thoughts only stopped when he reached the mercenary guild. After reaching the mercenary, he spoke with Sarah, the beautiful receptionist of the mercenary guild and next talked to Rulf, who was currently managing the mercenary guild. "Uncle Rulf, can I stay here for this night? Tomorrow, I have to enter the Royal family''s sacred pool." Ajax briefly exined his situation to Rulf. "You can stay here as long as you want." Of course, Rulf would have given a room even with hearing an exnation from Ajax. "Let''s see how good the so-called Sacred Pool of the royal family will be." After entering into a guest room, Ajax looked in the direction of the royal family and muttered to himself. He was looking forward to see how ''Sacred Pool'' was going to help him. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 927: Royal Familys Secret Realm

Chapter 927: Royal Family''s Secret Realm

Next day, In the royal ce, "You are here." King Stephen looked at the two young men in front of him and revealed a slight smile on his face. Those two young men were none other than Ajax and Levi. As the first ce holder in the ''Champion''s contest'', Ajax could enter the royal family''s ''Sacred pool'' for an entire week. Whereas, Levi, the second ce holder could only enter the Sacred pool for a single day; however, his master Elek informed him that it would be very beneficial for Levi to enter even though it was just for a single day. Moreover, Levi was also curious about the high-level resource of the Zrochester province. So, he travelled overnight from his master''s secret realm to the royal family. As for Ajax, he travelled early and waited for Levi because he knew Levi woulde here for sure. "Yes, your majesty. We are here for the Sacred Pool." Hearing King Stephen''s words, Ajax and Levi replied at the same time. "Let''s go." Nodding his head, King Stephen stood from his seat as he asked Ajax and Levi to follow. Soon, King Stephen, his old minister, Ajax and Levi entered deeper into the royal pce before stopping in front of an old, half-broken wall. "Old minister, open the portal to the secret realm." After stopping there, King Stephen asked the old man beside him to open a portal. ''Huh? A portal to the secret realm?'' Ajax and Levi were surprised when they heard King Stephen''s words. Even though they already knew that the royal family had a secret realm just like the six vagrant cultivators, they did not expect that the so-called ''Sacred Pool'' would be in a secret realm. What''s more, the royal family had directly given the reward to them that was in their secret realm. Actually, the owners of the secret realm didn''t wish others to know about their secret realms much less invite them into the secret realm. "Your majesty, the princess is still not here." However, the old minister didn''t open the portal directly; instead, he informed his daughter. "I can''t wait all day for her. If she doesn''t arrive here within five minutes, let''s just enter." Even though he thought that he would not wait for her daughter, he still decided to wait for five minutes. "Only if you don''t mind, we will wait; otherwise, we can just enter." Nevertheless, King Stephen didn''t forget to ask Ajax and Levi just for a formality. "No problem, your majesty." Ajax and Levi didn''t mind waiting for five minutes because they were the guests here. "I am here." They barely waited for one minute before they heard a soft voice from the distance that made Ajax and Levi turn their heads towards the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice was a beautiful girl who was wearing bright blue coloured robes with golden borders. Her hair was freely flowing in the wind as she elegantly ran towards them. She was none other than the royal princess, Princess Daphne. "Royal father, I am sorry, I amte." When she reached the ce, she nced at Ajax for a moment before apologizing to her father foringte. "Whatever." However, King Stephen didn''t even bother to look at her as he continued, "Since everyone is here, let''s open the portal to the royal family''s secret realm." Without wasting any time, King Stephen directly ordered the old man beside him to open the gate. "Yes, your highness." The old man nodded his head as he chanted something just like how the six vagrant cultivators used to chant before opening their secret realm. While the old man was opening the portal, Princess Daphne was secretly observing Ajax because she had developed a crush on him and she felt Ajax must have developed a crush on her too. However, when she saw that Ajax was not even bothering to look at her, she was a little disappointed. ''Why am I thinking about him? Even though he helped me get the inheritance of the summoner king from the inheritancend, it doesn''t mean he has a crush on me.'' ''All I need to focus on now is to increase my cultivation and leave this province as soon as possible.'' ''Moreover, grandpa Lin said that as long as I learn cultivator''sw, he could rmend me to someone in the other province. At the time, even my father couldn''t do anything against my wishes.'' ''And to learn the cultivator''sw, the ''Sacred Pool'' is the best ce for me.'' Soon, Princess Daphne controlled her emotions as she focused on only cultivation. The only thing she wants in her life is to leave Zrochester province and go as far away as possible from her father. So, she stopped secretly ncing at Ajax and waited for the portal to open. "Your name is Levi, right? Come forward." While the old man was busy opening the portal to the secret realm, King Stephen turned his head towards Levi and called him. "Yes." Levi casually nodded his head as he walked forward. Even though Stephen Draton was king, Levi learned about him and felt he had already given too much respect for him. So, he didn''t show much respect. At the same time, he was not rude because he knew that once King Stephen became angry, he could get killed in his hands. "Here is your pass. Once you enter the Secret realm, you have to find the Sacred Pool and cultivate in it. After your two days are finished, you will be automatically kicked out of the secret realm." "As for you Ajax, you can stay in the Secret Realm until the Sacred Pool disappears from the Secret realm. Once it disappeared, you will be automatically kicked out of the secret realm." Simrly, King Stephen gave a small talisman to Ajax and his daughter, Princess Daphne. "Your Highness, it''s opened." Soon, the old minister informed King Stephen. **** Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 2. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters.

Chapter 928: Turquoise Secret Realm

"Hmm" King Stephen nodded his head at the old man before looking at Ajax and others. "Hope you reap good benefits from the royal family''s Sacred Pool." King Stephen said those words with a slight smile on his face before disappearing from the ce along with the old man. "Huh?" Ajax and Levi frowned when they saw the sudden disappearance of King Stephen and his old minister. "You don''t need to get shocked. My father is very angry for letting outsiders like you use the Sacred Pool. So, just enter the secret realm and use the Sacred Pool inside the secret realm properly before escaping from here." Looking at the frown on Ajax and Levi''s faces, Princess Daphne chuckled a little as she started walking towards the huge portal open in the half-broken wall. "What?" Both of them were surprised when they heard Princess Daphne''s words; however, after thinking about King Stephen''s personality, they were not surprised anymore. "But why should we escape?" Soon, Ajax and Levi followed behind Princess Daphne as Ajax asked her. "Why? Of course, to keep your lives intact." Princess Daphne halted in her steps as she turned back to look at Ajax before saying, "Especially, you need to be careful because you are staying in the Sacred Pool until it is closed. So, my royal father might try to kill you." After finishing her words, Princess Daphne directly turned back and jumped into the portal. ''Damn it...I should have already expected it. This bastard is definitely vicious.'' Ajax cursed King Stephen as he looked at the portal with aplicated look in his eyes. "Let it be. Since he might try to kill me, I will just destroy and absorb all the essence of nature in the Sacred Pool. Let''s see how cocky he will be then." Ajax revealed a cruel smile in his heart as he decided to use the Sacred pool as much as possible and leave nothing behind for King Stephen. "Don''t worry. My master is keeping an eye on this ce and the moment there is something wrong, he wille to your rescue." Levi ced his hand on Ajax''s shoulder as he gave assurance to him. "Thank you." When he heard Levi''s words, Ajax could not help but feel warm as he thanked him. "No need to thank me. It is my master who wants to protect you." With a bitter smile on his face, Levi replied to Ajax before saying, "Anyway, let''s go now." Since Ajax had a powerful master, why would the vagrant cultivators allow any harm toe to Ajax? Moreover, they were very sure that King Stephen would try something funny. So, the vagrant cultivators had done their own preparation. ...¡­. In King Stephen''s cultivation chamber, "Kid, don''t try anything funny with that second ranker kid. The moment you touch that kid, this kingdom is going to fall." After entering his cultivation chamber in the royal pce, King Stephen was thinking about something while walking from one corner to another and he stopped walking only when he heard his master''s words in his head. ''Master, what are you talking about? You said the same thing when the champion''s contest ended; however, you are not giving me the exact reason.'' King Stephen became angry when he asked his master as he asked his master to exin it properly. ''I don''t know anything. My royal prediction technique is sensing that he is the disaster of his province; however, as long as we don''t touch him, nothing will happen.'' Soon, his master replied in a serious tone that made King Stephen even angrier. The thing is King Stephen didn''t like existences that could threaten his kingdom and that is the reason why he destroyed the eight hidden families. It is the reason why he is not allowing the sects and great families to have too much power. ''A threat to my Kingdom should not be allowed to exist.'' That was the only thought in his head after hearing his master''s words. ''Kid, I know what you are thinking but I suggest you give up what you are nning to do. That is the only way this kingdom will survive. If you want to destroy it, I am not going to stop it as my time in this world will be over soon anyway.'' As the master of King Stephen, he knew how Stephen would think and behave in situations like these. So, he warned him before King Stephen could do anything rash that might endanger the Draton Kingdom. ''Okay, master.'' Even though he said those words, King Stephen''s master felt a little doubtful regarding his decision; however, it was up to him because he is the current King of the Zrochester province. He already gave his advice and warnings andter is up to him. ...¡­ Inside the royal family''s secret realm, ''Ding, The host entered a mid-grade secret realm called ''Turquoise''. It boosts the cultivation of any being staying in it by three times and water element cultivators receive a boost of five times. ''Ding, The effects received by the beings will change as they move towards the center. Just as Ajax entered the portal, he received two system notifications that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''What? A mid-grade secret realm?'' What surprised Ajax a lot was the word ''Mid-grade'' and the effects of staying in the secret realm. Moreover, the notifications said that the effects will increase if they move towards the centre. ''Looks like all the vagrant cultivators only have a low-grade secret realm with normal effects. No wonder, the royal family is the powerful family in the Zrochester province.'' Finally, Ajax understood how the royal family was able to keep their power for generations and continued to create a monstrous cultivator. "From the looks of it, the Sacred Pool would have more good effects on the cultivators entering in it. No wonder, he wants to kill us just for entering it." With a scoff, Ajax started looking at his surroundings while feeling the environment around him. **** No gifts ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 929: Crowned Turquoise Queen

Chapter 929: Crowned Turquoise Queen

Secret realms are ssified into three types and they are low-grade, mid-grade and high-grade. Having a low-grade secret realm connected to a lowly province like Zrochester province is already a good thing, not to mention how great it was to have a mid-level secret realm. With the increase in the grade of the secret realm, the benefits it gives to the beings inside it will be increased. ''I wonder how good a high-grade secret realm would be.'' Looking at his surroundings, Ajax wondered about the high-grade secret realm as he continued to think, ''I wonder whether I can own a high-grade secret realm in the future.'' As for the Turquoise secret realm, the sky had the turquoise colour and around him, there were small turquoise pools; however, Ajax thought none of them were ''Sacred Pool''. Because he didn''t feel any strong concentration of the essence of nature more than five times. That''s right! Since Ajax is a ''Universal Summoner'', he has an affinity with almost all elements making him receive the five-time absorption of the essence of nature despite not using his cultivation technique. "The environment here is so calm and peaceful not to mention its beauty." "If you don''t want to waste time, you can follow me to the Sacred Pool." As Ajax and Levi were mesmerized by the scenery in the Turquoise secret realm, they heard the melodious voice of Princess Daphne, who asked them to follow her. "Sure." Ajax was the first one to reply with a slight smile on his face without any hesitation. ''Ajax, what if she leads us into a trap?'' However, that was not the case for Levi because he feared it might be a trap. So, he warned Ajax about it. ''Don''t worry much, Senior brother Levi. She is trustworthy.'' Unlike Levi, Ajax had a little bit of trust towards Princess Daphne''s character that she was not a person to harm his benefactor. So, he briefly informed Levi that they could trust her. Moreover, judging from their surroundings, Ajax could say that areawise, this Turquoise secret realm would be much bigger than their Zrochester province. So, searching for a small sacred pool amidst the thousands of normal pools, it would take forever and ording to what they know the ''Sacred Pool'' will be only open for seven days before closing. That is the reason why they should hurry up and make full use of the Sacred Pool. "Little blue,e out." As for Princess Daphne, she summoned a blue-coloured spirit crane. The spirit crane looked just like the one that Ajax helped Paulin except for some obvious changes. One, it was very hugepared to Paulin''s white coloured spirit crane. The second and the most important one was, it had a ck coloured crown on its head. "Climb it." Princess Daphne didn''t even bother to look at Ajax and Levi, as she climbed onto her contracted spirit beast. "Hm" Nodding his head, Ajax climbed onto the blue spirit crane and sat with some gap between him and Princess Daphne. As for Levi, he checked his surroundings once more before climbing the spirit crane. ''Swoosh'' After the three youngsters climbed the spirit crane, it started flying elegantly. It''s speed was neither fast nor slow making those behind it enjoy the scenery in the secret realm. ''Appraise'' However, Ajax was curious about the spirit beast below him because it was very rare for the spirit crane to mutate as it was just a low-level spirit beast that was used by low-level cultivators as it was pretty much easy to catch. Moreover, the spirit cranes are mainly used for transportation; however, Ajax felt a powerful presenceing from the spirit crane. ''Even though it was not very powerful, I guess, it can be used as a battlepanion also.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax used appraisal on the blue-coloured spirit crane below him. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Mutated Spirit Crane. Strength:- Low-level rank 6. Bloodline:- Crowned Turquoise Queen (one percent). Skills:- Advanced flight, Advanced healing, Feather strike, Water maniption. More information:- A spirit beast that swallowed a single drop of diluted Crowned Turquoise Queen. Even though it was not enough for the spirit beast to break into the King-realm, it mutated the spirit crane a little. Soon, theplete information about the blue-coloured spirit crane appeared in front of him. ''Oh! It swallowed the blood of the Crowned Turquoise Queen. I wonder where it came from?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw information on the spirit crane. Crowned Turquoise Queen is a higher level being from a greater world. So, Ajax wondered how it could appear in a normal world like Purple stone world. Moreover, it was even more shocking that it appeared in the Zrochester province. ''Anyway, I will focus on the Sacred Pool for now. There are many mysteries in this world. So, there is no need to find all the mysteries.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax checked the skills of the spirit crane before nodding his head. Generally, the spirit cranes are only used as flying mounts by the cultivators of the general realm and below. So, Ajax was not surprised to see only four skills. Moreover, it even has two attacking skills. "Should I help it increase its bloodline?" All of a sudden, Ajax thought about helping the blue-coloured spirit crane in improving its bloodline. Since Princess Daphne didn''t have the arrogance of the young mistress from the top sects or great families and even helped them reach the Sacred Pool in a short time, he felt it was the right thing to do. ''After reaching the Sacred Pool, I will give it the mid-grade primitive stone. Adding to the pure essence of nature from the Sacred Pool, the mid-grade primitive stone would have a miraculous effect.'' Soon, Ajax thought about everything and decided to give a mid-grade primitive stone to Princess Daphne''s mutated spirit crane hoping it would transform into a Crowned Turquoise. **** zee62892, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. lekan_adedeji, thanks for the POTION. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 2. Chapter 930: Terrifying cultivation speed

Chapter 930: Terrifying cultivation speed

''Ding, The host entered into a region where the cultivator''s cultivation speed will be boosted by 3 times. ''Ding, The host entered into a region where the cultivator''s cultivation speed will be boosted by 4 times. . . . ''Ding, The host entered into a region where the cultivator''s cultivation speed will be boosted by 10 times. As Ajax and others were flying towards the center of the secret realm, he was continuously receiving the system notifications that were informing him about the purity of the essence of nature. After reaching a ce where the cultivation speed of a cultivator could be increased by 10 times, he didn''t receive any more system notifications making him heave a sigh of relief. However, when he thought about the water elemental cultivators, Ajax could not help but gasp a little. For a normal cultivator, the cultivation speed was 10 times which was already too much whereas for water elemental cultivators it was 25 times. ''Damn pared to the secret realms owned by the vagrant cultivators¡­.wait...there is noparison between them at all.'' When Ajax thought about the effects of the secret realms of the vagrant cultivators, he felt it was better for him to notpare them. ''I wonder how terrifying the high-grade secret realms would be.'' Instead ofparing the mid-grade secret realm with a low-grade secret realm,? Ajaxpared it with the high-grade secret realm and just that thought raced his heart. "That is the Sacred Pool" While Ajax was in his thoughts about the effects of the various grades of the secret realms, Princess Daphne pointed her finger into the distance as she informed Ajax and Levi. ''Woah...it is so beautiful.'' Both Ajax and Levi could not help but get mesmerized by the sight of the Sacred Pool. It was emitting the turquoise mist and the closer they got the denser the essence of nature became. "Everyone, youe out." The moment they reached the Sacred Pool, Princess Daphne summoned blue-coloured elemental spirits on the ground. "Yes, summoning master." Among the five, there were three female elemental spirits and two male elemental spirits and the moment they were summoned, they became excited but before they started their cultivation they didn''t forget to thank their summoning master. ''The resistance to summon all the elemental spirits is not as high as the benefits. No wonder, she summoned all her elemental spirits without any hesitation.'' Looking at the five blue-coloured elemental spirits on the ground, Ajax shook his head. However, what Ajax didn''t know was Princess Daphne didn''t feel that Ajax and Levi would harm her; otherwise, she would have not given them the ride to the Sacred Pool. "Everyone,e out and cultivate for the next 23 hours." After seeing the elemental spirits of Princess Daphne, Levi looked at Ajax for a moment before summoning all his elemental spirits. ''Swoosh'' "Thank you, summoning master." The summoned elemental spirits looked at their surroundings and felt the rich energy around them. Compared to Princess Daphne''s elemental spirit, Levi elemental spirits were double; however, Princess Daphne''s elemental spirits are all water type. So, they are going to receive more benefits as Levi''s elemental spirits were earth type. ''What should I do?'' However, Ajax didn''t know whether to cry orugh at his current situation because it would definitely create a shock for both Levi and Princess Daphne. ''System, is there a way for my elemental spirits to cultivate inside the inner world using the Sacred Pool''s pure essence of nature withouting out of the inner world?'' Ajax felt it was safe for him to not summon all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts because he didn''t know whether King Stephen was currently watching him or not. If he watches, he would find out that Ajax was the masked young man with many elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts andter he would be hunted down. ''Ding, The host can enter deep meditation to allow the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts in his inner world to ess the energy from the Sacred Pool. ''Ding, However, the effect will be drastically decreased by fifty percent. As soon as he asked the system about it, it replied to him in an instant. ''No problem.'' Ajax felt a little relieved when he saw the two system notifications in front of him. Even though the effect will be decreased by half, there are so many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts inside his inner world. Moreover, ording to the system, there is a mysterious energy in the Sacred Pool that is very beneficial to them. So, Ajax felt it was enough to make the royal family go bankrupt in the purity of their Sacred Pool''s energy. ''Let''s see what will be the changes in my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts after one week.'' Ajax expectations regarding the Sacred Pool were very high and that was the reason why he put a hold on his dimensional crevice and his ''World-destroying missions''. Since he could not increase his cultivation with the essence of nature, he could only hope his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits would be benefited. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Soon, the blue spirit cranended on the ground beside the 10-meter radius Sacred Pool. "All the best for you two." Princess Daphne said those words and started walking towards the Sacred Pool to start her cultivation. As for her Spirit beast, she didn''t summon back into her spirit consciousness because it could also increase its cultivation just by standing beside the Sacred Pool. "You too." Levi and Ajax replied to Princess Daphne with slight smiles on their faces. Soon, Levi also started walking towards the Sacred Pool; however, he chose the opposite side of the Sacred Pool. Levi didn''t want to waste any more time because, unlike Ajax, he could only stay in this secret realm for 23 hours more. After that, he would be kicked out. So, he wanted to make sure to use every minute. As for Ajax, he looked at the huge Spirit crane. ******* Gingerbaker, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters.

Chapter 931: Doubling the cultivation speed

Since he wanted to help the mutated spirit crane in increasing its bloodline percentage, he didn''t enter the Sacred Pool directly; instead, he looked at the huge spirit crane in front of him. ''Human, why are you looking at me like that? Go and cultivate in the Sacred Pool.'' Just as Ajax was about to take out a primitive stone from his inventory, he heard a soft and calm voice in his head. "Huh? Is that you who transmitted the voice into my mind?" Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. ''What are you smiling at? Don''te near me. My master is more powerful than you. So, you better stay away from me.'' When the huge spirit crane saw the smile on Ajax''s face, she became anxious and warned Ajax to note near her. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard the anxious voice in his head and could not help but shake his head. Actually, the mutated spirit crane was less than one year old and only because of the Crowned Turquoise Queen''s blood, she was able to reach low-level rank 6. Moreover, Princess Daphne was hoping the crane would reach peak rank 6 before going out of the secret realm. So, even though she was powerful, the mutated spirit crane was fearful by nature and used Princess Daphne''s name to keep Ajax away from her. Moreover, little blue thought Princess Daphne is more powerful because her cultivation was higher than Ajax. "Whatever. Use it to be stronger." However, Ajax didn''t want to waste his time on the scared sprint crane as he took out the mid-grade primitive stone from his inventory and threw it at the spirit crane. ''Huh?'' As for the mutated spirit crane, she was surprised by Ajax''s actions and moreover, she was very fearful of the item thrown by Ajax. So, she didn''t touch it until Ajax entered the Sacred Pool. ''Why do I feel the urge to eat it?'' Even though she didn''t know what that stone was, the spirit crane''s basic instincts were telling her to eat it. After looking at the stone lying on the ground for a few moments, her basic instincts won against her fearful instincts. ''Let''s just eat it.'' Without thinking about anything, the mutated spirit crane swallowed the stone and slept on the edge of the Sacred Pool. Since the Sacred Pool only has a 10-meter radius, she didn''t enter it fearing it would be an inconvenience for her master and others. Nevertheless, she was more than happy with the current cultivation speed. Moreover, her body waspletely filled with some mysterious energy released from the mid-grade spirit stone. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the mutated spirit crane''s body started shining with a dim glow and since the glow was simr to the shining mist covering the Sacred Pool, it was not visible to others. ''I hope its bloodline concentration increases to at least 70-80 percent from the mid-grade primitive stone.'' As for Ajax, while entering the Sacred Pool, he was hoping something good would happen to the mutated spirit crane. When he entered the dimensional crevice, he bought so many mid-grade primitive stones from the stores in the crevice. Moreover, all his contracted spirit beasts already have their own bloodlines and except for the high-grade primitive stone, the regr primitive stones were useless for him. So, he didn''t feel much in giving one to the mutated spirit crane. ''Ding, The system detected that the host entered the Sacred Pool for the first time. ''Ding, The effects of the Sacred Pool on his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beast will be doubled until he leaves the Sacred Pool. ''Ding, The current cultivation speed of the Sacred Pool on regr cultivators is 15 times and since the host''s summons are inside the inner world, the additional effect will be negated and they receive the same 15 times of cultivation speed. Just as he entered the Sacred Pool, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him quite a surprise. ''Excellent.'' After reading those system notifications, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and thought,? ''Finally, I don''t need to summon them out ofo my inner world but they can still receive the same cultivation boost. Excellent.'' Ajax was excited about his current situation. ''Wait for a second...I can do that, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered something that made him even more excited. ''ite out and enjoy the cultivation boost.'' As soon as he thought of something, he didn''t waste his time thinking about anything and directly summoned an elemental spirit. Since the entire Zrochester province knew that he was a summoner, he could freely summon some of his elemental spirits. However, he could not summon all his elemental spirits because King Stephen had seen almost every elemental spirit of his when he was fighting the sect leaders and family heads as the masked young man. As for it, he didn''t summon it at that time before everyone knew that Ajax had an earth elemental spirit and if he had used it at that time, he would have raised the suspicion. ''Since I am Ajax now, I can only use it in the open as for the other elemental spirits, it will give away that I am the masked young man that yed with the top figures of the Zrochester province.'' Ajax revealed a bitter smile for summoning all his elemental spirits while he was acting as the masked young man. ''Nevertheless, at least it can get the full benefits from the Sacred Pool.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax sat cross-legged in the Sacred Pool and entered into his inner world. ''Thank you, brother Ajax. I will not disappoint you.'' As for the earth elemental spirit, it, he clenched his fists and decided to not disappoint Ajax before he started cultivating. At one end, Levi and his 10 earth elemental spirits were doing the same without wasting any time. .*** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters.

Chapter 932: Elemental Paradises are ready!

# Author''s birthday special chapter (1/5). Levi and his 10 earth elemental spirits were able to cultivate at a cultivation speed of 15 times their original cultivation whereas Princess Daphne and her water elemental spirits were having a cultivation speed of 30. As for it, despite being the earth elemental spirit, he was able to absorb the pure essence of nature into his body and was able to cultivate 30 times faster than his original speed. ''Damn it...I hate these summoners. They are wasting all of my sacred energy from the Sacred Pool.'' In his cultivation chamber, King Stephen''s heart was bleeding when he saw his daughter summoning five elemental spirits and a contracted spirit beast along with Levi who was even more atrocious than his daughter by summoning 10 elemental spirits to absorb the sacred energy. ''At least that Ajax was good that he only summoned one elemental spirit.'' When he saw Ajax, King Stephen felt he was way better than others and knew his limits in taking advantage of others. ''Damn it...my master warned me not to do anything to that Levi...sigh.'' Looking at Levi who waspletely immersed in the Sacred Pool, King Stephen cursed for a while before releasing a long sigh. ''Let it be...I have to wait an additional 10 years to enter the Sacred Pool.'' With that thought in his mind, King Stephen kept the hovering mirror into his space ring. Even though King Stephen was arrogant and a tyrant, he knew when to back down. So, he stopped watching the three youngsters in the Sacred Pool and went to his cultivation. Actually, King Stephen wanted to use the Sacred Energy from the Sacred Pool to break into the King realm; however, to do that he had let the Sacred Pool umte the Sacred Energy. However, with the absorption of the Sacred Energy from the youngsters and their elemental spirits, King Stephen assumed the Sacred Energy will be decreased not more than 50 percent because Levi will stay in the Sacred Pool for a single day. So, only Princess Daphne is the highest consumer whereas Ajax was the least consumer of the Sacred Energy, at least that''s what King Stephen thought. However, what he didn''t know was that it''s cultivation speed was 30 times his original cultivation speed; instead of 15 times. And the most important thing is, all the elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts in Ajax''s inner world were absorbing the Sacred Energy at 15 times their usual cultivation speed. ...¡­. ''Swoosh'' While Levi and Princess Daphne were busy cultivating, Ajax entered into his inner world in his spirit consciousness form. Since he could not increase his cultivation by the regr means which was absorbing the essence of nature into the spirit consciousness, he could only waste the time while his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beast cultivate. ''I hope, they break into the mid-levels of the elite general realm and mid-grade rank 6'' Looking at the seriously cultivating elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax silently thought in his head. If it was a normal essence of nature, Ajax would have not hoped the increment to be that great; however, it was said that there was some mysterious energy inside the Sacred Pool which was called Sacred Energy which can help the cultivators in easy breakthroughs. Since almost all of his summons had a cultivation of general realm or rank 5, Ajax hoped that it was not an impossible task for his summons to aplish. ''Water elemental spirits and spirit beasts are making good use of the Sacred Energy.'' Next, he was satisfied with the water elemental spirits like ris and Novis and contracted spirit beasts like Arcane green spirit turtle, Sea Tauren, yin-yang fishes in the mini thunder pool. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host, the construction of all elemental paradises is finished. ''Ding, Please check the elemental paradise section to know more about them. After wandering in the inner world for a few minutes, Ajax finally got the much-awaited system notifications making him reveal an ear to ear smile. ''Isn''t this what I was waiting for?'' Without wasting time, he looked at the elemental paradises around him. ''Elemental paradises.'' After looking around for some time, Ajax opened the system to check the elemental paradises. ''Ding, Fire elemental paradise x 2. ''Ding, Water elemental paradise x 4. ''Ding, Wind elemental paradise x 1. ''Ding, Earth elemental paradise x 4. . . . ''Ding, Total elemental paradises x 28 Soon, he got theplete list of elemental paradises in front of him. Since he had many spirit points to spend, he bought an elemental paradise for every elemental spirit and at the same time, he bought a few more elemental paradises for his contracted spirit beasts. Among the elemental paradises, the highest element was of course Dark followed by water and earth elements. ''Grade 3 thunder pool, Grade 4 mini dark abyss, grade 2 water and fire dual elemental paradise, grade 2 poison, space and time elemental paradises.'' Ajax checked the grades of the elemental paradises; however, his focus was not on his paradise because right now, he wanted to upgrade all the newly constructed elemental paradises. ''Among the 28 elemental paradises, 22 are grade 1. So, let''s level them up.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system, ''How many spirit points are required to upgrade my grade 1 elemental paradises?'' Even though he wanted to upgrade them, he didn''t want to spend all the spirit points on the elemental paradises because he wanted to keep some to increase the cultivation of the elemental spirits. However, currently, all his elemental spirits are naturally increasing their cultivations. So, he didn''t want to use artificial means to increase them. So, he could only upgrade the elemental paradises. ''Ding, From grade 1 to grade 2, an elemental paradise needs 1000 spirit points. Soon, the system notification appeared in front of him informing him about the cost to upgrade the elemental paradise. ***** Law162162, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. cageraymortal, ohoud_daif, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 933: Entering the Azure Wind Dragon''s Hall

# Author''s birthday special chapter (2/5). ''As expected, it is within my estimation.'' When he saw the system notification, Ajax was not surprised because he had already expected the price to upgrade would be 10 times the previous one. ''But I wonder, will it follow the same 10 times increase in the price for upgrading to the next grade.'' Nevertheless, what made Ajax worry was about upgrading the elemental paradises from grade 2 to grade 3. ''If the price is very high, I will just cancel my n to upgrade them.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax ordered the system, ''System, upgrade my 22 grade 1 elemental paradises to grade 2.'' After making up his mind, Ajax didn''t waste his time to give the order to upgrade the elemental paradises. ''Ding, The cost to upgrade 22 elemental paradises from grade 1 to grade 2 will be 22000 spirit points. Are you sure? The system asked Ajax for the usual secondary confirmation. ''Yes.'' ''Ding, 22000 spirit points are debited from the host''s ount. ''Ding, Remaining spirit points:- 468000. ''Ding, The construction time for all 22 elemental paradises from grade 1 to grade 2 will be one week. Please wait while the system constructs them. As soon as he gave the confirmation, Ajax received a series of system notifications informing him to wait for a week. ''One week is not very long to wait.'' Ajax nodded his head as he checked the remaining spirit points before closing all the system notifications. ''I will just sleep for the week.'' Since he didn''t have anything to do for the week, he thought about sleeping. ''Ding, Instead of sleeping, the host can do something productive like clearing the halls on the first level of the battle tower. Just as he thought about sleeping, the system notified him that he could enter the battle tower to train his battle prowess. Moreover, Ajax could sense that the system was scoffing at hisziness. ''Right! How could I forget about it?'' Ajax shook his head before saying, ''Let''s go and clear more halls.'' Actually, Ajax thought that he should enter the battle tower only after destroying at least one world; however, since he had nothing better to do for an entire week and he could not send any of his summons into the battle tower, he himself wanted to enter to pass the time. Along with passing the time, he could see how much improved within such a short amount of time. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he thought to enter the battle tower, Ajax disappeared from the inner world. ...¡­ Inside the battle tower, ''I wonder how long I can fight with the legendary azure wind dragon.'' In the past, Ajax cleared four halls in the first level of the battle tower; however, before he could enter the fifth hall, he was killed by the hall guardian. Nevertheless, before dying, he was able to catch a glimpse of the hall guardian who looked like an azure coloured dragon. So, he came to the conclusion that it was an Azure wind dragon. ''What is there to fear? Even if I die, I can fight him once again.'' Since Ajax can''t die in reality, he was not worried about it much; however, the problem was he couldn''t try clearing the other halls unless hepleted the Azure wind dragon''s hall. ''Creak'' With a serious look on his face, Ajax opened the door of the hall as he walked into the hall. ''Shuzz'' The moment he stepped into the hall, an azure-coloured energy beam was focused on it. ''Damn it...it is so fast.'' Ajax cursed the hall guardian to not wait until he entered the hallpletely; however, he didn''t forget to use his ''Teleport'' effect from the skill ''Lightning Cloud Steps''. ''Swoosh'' If Ajax was even a secondte, he would have died and been kicked out of the battle tower. "Interesting...you have good reflexes, Kid. You are qualified to fight me." After dodging the azure dragon beam, Ajax didn''t see any attacks from towards him which made him heave a sigh of relief. However, he heard a majestic voice. "You are really an Azure wind dragon." Soon, Ajax saw the huge azure coloured dragon in the distance that raised its long neck to see him. That''s right! Compared to the other halls, the current hall is much bigger. Just the distance between Ajax was around two kilometers. "Haha...that''s right! I am an Azure wind dragon." Hearing Ajax''s words, the huge azure-coloured dragon startedughing as he introduced himself to Ajax. "I am Ajax. By the way, I have a question to ask, sir dragon." Since the huge dragon seemed friendly, Ajax introduced himself. Moreover, he addressed the azure wind dragon with ''Sir'' because ording to what he learned about the azure wind dragons, they deserve respect. "I am in a good mood today, Kid. You can ask anything you want." After hearing the words ''Sir Dragon'', the dragon became even more happy as he gave permission to ask Ajax anything. "Thanks, Sir Dragon." After thanking, Ajax continued, "Earlier, you said that I am qualified to fight you. Why is it so? Is it because of me dodging your earlier attack?" "That is one of the reasons but there is another one." The huge dragon nodded his huge horned head as he continued, "Because you have the blood of someone who sealed my soul here." "What?" Ajax was shocked to hear those words as he immediately asked the huge dragon, "Sir Dragon, can you say more about him?" Ajax didn''t know anything about the origins of the system and how created this battle tower and stored the souls of the powerful creatures from history. So, he wanted to know about the person who created the battle tower and sealed the souls in it. "ording to the rules, I should only answer you when you defeat me. However, since I liked you, I will break that rule and answer your question." With a crude chuckle, the huge dragon replied to Ajax making him greatly excited. *** No gifts ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 934: Not allowed to say?

Chapter 934: Not allowed to say?

# Author''s birthday special chapter (3/5). When Ajax heard those words, he could help but feel grateful to the huge dragon. Since he knew that the azure wind dragon is very powerful and he was not sure whether he could win against the dragon or not. "Thank you, Sir Dragon." Ajax thanked the dragon as he waited for the dragon to continue speaking. "The person who sealed me¡­.aargh." ''Thud'' Just as the dragon started speaking, he stopped speaking abruptly and started groaning as he fell to the ground. ''What is happening?'' Ajax hurriedly dodged when the huge dragon''s body fell to the ground and became anxious looking at the huge azure wind dragon on the ground. ''Huf huf'' The groaning continued for a few moments before being reced with heavy breathing. "What happened to you, Sir Dragon?" Just by looking at the azure wind dragon, Ajax could say it was not looking good. So, he asked why the dragon fell to the ground all of a sudden. "Damn that bastard. He must have ced some kind of seal in my soul from giving you the information about him without fighting you." The azure wind dragon cursed while looking at the ceiling of the hall before exining to Ajax. "Just forget I asked that question, Sir Dragon." When he heard the reply from the dragon, Ajax shook his head as he knew how frustrating it could be when someone ces a seal on them. "Sorry, Kid. You have to defeat me to get any answers from me." The huge dragon shook his head as replied to Ajax. "No problem, Sir Dragon. It is my honour to fight you. Please give me pointers." Ajax bowed a little as he said those words to the dragon. "Hm" The dragon nodded his head as he said, "I will use only 50 percent of my current battle prowess. As long as you defeat me, you can answer. Let''s see what that bastard can do if I lower the difficulty." While saying those words, the dragon looked at the ceiling as he scoffed at someone. ''Excellent.'' When he heard that the dragon was going to use only 50 percent of battle prowess, Ajax became hopeful in winning against the dragon. "Let''s start the battle then." Soon, the azure wind dragon asked Ajax to start the fight. "Sir Dragon, if you underestimate me just because of my cultivation, then you are going to lose." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax rushed towards the huge dragon. "Let me prove that I am wrong." The dragon was not at all bothered with the iing Ajax and allowed him to use the first move. ''Advanced spatial des.'' Since he got the advantage of using the first move, Ajax didn''t want to waste the chance. So, he used the full-powered ''Advanced spatial des'' towards the neck of the dragon. ''ng'' ''Cling'' The portal opened right in front of the dragon''s neck and all the des were focused at a single ce. However, not a single de was able to make a scratch on the dragon. "As expected of the Azure wind dragon." Ajax was not surprised when he saw that the ''Advanced spatial des'' were unable to do anything to the dragon. "Kid, it is not used. You need even more powerful skill to make a scratch on my dragon scales...Haha." The azure wind dragon chuckled at Ajax''s attack and swept his long dragon tail to stop Ajax from nearing him. ''Swoosh'' ''Abyss beast god bloodline, activate.'' Ajax dodged the iing attack and activated his bloodline. With the activation of his bloodline, Ajax felt his body was full of energy as he muscles bulged a little. ''Huh? A bloodline? Interesting.'' Even though the dragon didn''t hear Ajax''s words, he could sense the sudden increase in Ajax''s strength and only bloodline could give such a sharp rise in cultivation. ''Azure dragon beam'' Even though he felt Ajax was interesting, he was already giving a big advantage, so he didn''t want to give any more benefits as he didn''t want any kind of restrictions ced by the one who sealed him in this battle tower. ''Swoosh'' Ajax dodged the beam just by an inch just like earlier. ''Let''s see whether my bloodline can help me do any damage to him.'' ''Advanced spatial des.'' Once again Ajax repeated the same attack pattern and chose to attack the front side of the neck. ''ng'' ''Cling'' ''Scratch.'' Unlike before, there were some scratches appearing on the dragon scales making the azure wind dragon raise its brows. ''Looks like my n is going to work.'' Even though there were only a few scratches on the dragon scales, Ajax felt excited because in the earlier attack, he didn''t use the full-powered attack. "You are definitely the descendent of that bastard, Kid." Looking at the scratches on his neck, the huge dragon chuckled and became serious. "Sir Dragon, be careful of my next attack. It will be powerful." .When he heard the dragon''s words, Ajax raised his words; however, decided to ask more about his predecessor after he defeated the azure wind dragon. Instead, he wanted the dragoon to be careful. "Really?" The azure wind dragon was surprised a little when he heard those words as he continued, "So, I will not let you use that attack." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the huge dragon spread his wings and flew into the air before shouting, "Azure movement technique." ''Swoosh'' Just after it activated a movement technique, the huge dragon disappeared from his ce. ''Where did he go?'' Ajax hurriedly checked for the dragon; however, he didn''t find any traces of the dragon. "I am here, kid." All of a sudden, Ajax heard a voice behind him and before he could notice what was happening, the huge wind dragon collided with him. ''Damn it...Teleport.'' Without wasting any time, he tried to use the second effect of the ''Lightning cloud steps''. "It''s toote to dodge, Kid." The dragon''s majestic voice resounded in the surroundings as Ajax sted into the distance. **** No gifts. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 935: Using the Demon Form

Chapter 935: Using the Demon Form

# Author''s birthday special chapter (4/5). ''Boom'' The azure wind dragon was very powerful and with his huge body along with how to speed he could travel after activating the ''Azure movement technique'', it created a loud explosion when he rammed into Ajax. From the impact, Ajax was sted into the wall which was very far from him. ''Thud'' "Did I overdo it?" The azure wind dragonnded on the ground and looked at the rumble in the distance and thought to himself. "Even if he had that bastard''s blood, I think it''s very hard for him to survive it." The dragon slowly walked towards the rumble in the distance to see whether Ajax was still alive or dead. Currently, Ajax waspletely covered in a rumble. So, the dragon was unable to get a clear idea of whether Ajax was alive or dead. "Rumble" Just as he was nearing the rumble, there was a slight movement in the rumble as Ajax stood up with a body full of injuries. "Sir Dragon, no wonder they said Azure wind dragons are like the wind we can''t see when they fly." Ajax was surprised by the speed of the azure wind dragon and finally understood why it was called a wind dragon. "Excellent, you survived, Kid. Not bad." Seeing that Ajax stood up from the ground, the azure wind dragon became excited. "Of course, I survived but not only that, I am going to defeat you, Sir Dragon." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at the huge dragon. "Haha...you must be joking, Kid. You can''t even speak properly. I wonder how you are going to do it." Hearing those words, the dragon could not help butugh because Ajax was barely able to speak or move from his pace, much less defeat the azure wind dragon. So, the azure wind dragon didn''t move from his ce and waited for Ajax to defeat him. The thing is, after fighting with Ajax for a while, the azure wind dragon understood that Ajax had already used all the powerful attacks and even those powerful attacks were barely able to leave some scratches on his dragon scales. Now, Ajax was fully injured and barely had the ability to speak. So, he felt Ajax was just another young man who spoke in a moment of heat. "Demon form, activate." "Shadow clone, cancel." "New shadow clone." Just as the azure wind dragon was waiting to see what Ajax was going to do, he heard a familiar voice from the back giving him quite a surprise. ''Huh?'' Without wasting any time, the huge dragon turned back and saw a fully recovered Ajax. ''What the hell?'' He was shocked and hurriedly turned to look at the Ajax in the rumble who was dissolving in a shadow. "Interesting...so, you reced the earlier collision with your shadow clone." It didn''t take much time for the azure wind dragon to understand what Ajax had done and felt interesting. ''Swoosh'' Beside Ajax, a new shadow clone that looked exactly like him appeared without a single injury from the earlier attack. However, there was something different about the current shadow clone whenpared to shadow clones he summoned in the past. There was a hint of ck-coloured energy emitted from his body. As for Ajax, the ck-coloured energy emitted from his own body was even denser than his shadow clone. ''Ding, Demon form activated for 10 minutes. All the skills will be more powerful because of the addition of demonic energy into them. Soon, Ajax got a system notification that revealed a slight smile on his face; however, to the azure wind dragon that smile looked like an evil one. ''Use, advanced spatial des along with me.'' "Advanced spatial des." Without giving any time for the azure wind dragon to know what was happening, Ajax ordered his shadow clone to use the skill. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, two medium-sized portals appeared right in front of the dragon''s neck and ck coloured wind des which were much bigger than earlier appeared. ''ng'' ''Cling'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Ajax chose the same ce where he was attacking from the start because ording to the stories he heard from Elder Boron, a dragon''s weak spot was its neck. The first few spatial des were deflected by the dragon scales; however, theter spatial des sessfully managed to break five dragon scales around that neck region before piercing the skin. "Azure hardened skin." The moment the azure wind dragon felt a sense of danger, he activated a defensive skill to protect himself from the spatial des that might cut his skin. Actually, almost all the dragons have dragon scales as the firstyer of defense andter they have a hardened skin under those dragon scales which was of course a passive skill. When the azure wind dragon felt that few of his dragon scales were broken, he felt that his passive skill ''Hardened skin'' would not stop the iing ck-coloured spatial des for much longer. So, he activated his strongest body defensive skill to stop the attack. "I have greatly underestimated you, Kiddo. It made me lose five of my dragon scales." Soon, the ''Advanced spatial des'' skill waspleted and the azure wind dragon was still standing as he replied to Ajax while shaking his huge head. "What?" Ajax was shocked to see that the azure wind dragon was still standing. "Don''t get surprised, Kid. I should be the one to get surprised after seeing your coordinated attacks." Seeing the shocked look on Ajax''s face, the azure wind dragon could not help but feel a little bitter because he didn''t expect Ajax to have some powerful attacks that could coordinate very well with one another. Moreover, if he didn''t use his advanced skill ''Azure hardened skin'', then he would have died for sure. "Sigh...looks like I have toe back after I be powerful to defeat you." Ajax shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. **** Zevran_Crow, thanks for the RING. lekan_adedeji, thanks for the POTION. cageraymortal, Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters.

Chapter 936: Clearing the Hall

# Author''s birthday special chapter (5/5). Ajax thought that with the help of the ''Demon form'', he could defeat the azure wind dragon; however, who would have expected that the azure wind dragon in the first level of the battle tower was already this powerful. ''I wonder how powerful he will be in the second, third and higher levels of the battle tower.'' When he thought about it, Ajax''s determination to be stronger had be even more. "There...there...stop putting the bitter look on your face." As for the azure wind dragon, when he looked at the bitter look on Ajax''s face, he asked him not to be sad. He didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he continued, "Actually, you won the fight against me." While saying those words, the azure wind dragon was a little bit excited. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to hear those words; however, when he thought about something, he shook his head as he replied to the huge dragon, "You don''t have to do that, Sir Dragon. I am not that childish to cry over a fight. I know I am weak but I wille back in the future to fight you and at that, I am going to win for sure." "Pakk" Just as Ajax finished his words, he was hit by the huge dragon''s wing. Since he was not expecting that azure wind dragon to attack him, Ajax was unable to dodge the attack and got smashed into the wall. "Sir Dragon?" As he was still in the demon form, his defences were very strong. So, he was able to stand again as he looked at the azure wind dragon with a puzzled look not understanding why he got hit by the dragon. "Idiot. I thought you were different from your predecessor; however, you both are the same idiots who will not listen to others beforeing to your own conclusion." The azure wind dragon scoffed at Ajax. ''...'' Hearing those words, Ajax was speechless and calmed himself down to listen to what the azure wind dragon wanted to say to him. "The moment I used my ''Azure hardened skin'', you won against me and sessfully cleared the hall." If it was anyone else, the azure dragon would have beaten the shit out of them; however, since Ajax was very respectful towards him from the start, he only hit Ajax once before exining. "Really? I cleared this hall?" Ajax was still unable to believe that he won against the azure wind dragon. Nevertheless, when he saw the serious look on his dragon''s face, Ajax became excited. ''Then why didn''t I get any system notifications?'' Generally, the hall guardian should die or the system should inform him about the sessful clearance of the hall. Since both things didn''t happen, Ajax had a hard time believing in the azure wind dragon''s words. ''Ding, To make the host suffer a bit in the azure wind dragon''s hands; however, the host is lucky to get away with just one p. ''Damn you.'' Ajax cursed the system when saw the notification; however, he thought he had some talk with the system at another time. Instead, he looked at the huge dragon as he replied, "Sorry for not believing you earlier, Sir Dragon. So, can you answer my question now?" Since he sessfullypleted the hall, as a reward, the azure wind dragon would say something about his predecessor who sealed the azure wind dragon''s soul in the battle tower. "Sure." The azure wind dragon nodded his head as he said, "He was the most powerful cultivator I have ever seen in my life. Even though he sealed me in this battle tower,ter I got to know that because of what he did, it saved my life from ¡­.argh." Just like before the azure wind dragon started groaning in pain all of a sudden. "Damn it...damn it." Unlike before, the pain didn''tst for much longer and the huge dragon returned to normal before starting his curses. "What happened this time?" Ajax''s questions in his head grew even more with the azure wind dragon''s words that made Ajax even more irritated. "Ajax, in this manner, I am not able to exin anything to you; instead, it will only leave you with even more questions. So, let''s do one thing." The azure wind dragon didn''t answer his question; instead, he wanted to suggest something to Ajax. "I will do as you say, Sir Dragon." Even though the dragon didn''t give an answer to his question, Ajax could understand that something was stopping the azure wind dragon from exining all those things to him. So, he was ready to hear what the dragon wanted to suggest to him. "On this floor, my strength is very limited. Juste to the second floor by clearing the required number of halls on this floor and let''s see who is going to stop me on that floor." Soon, the huge dragon suggested Ajax clear more floors on the first floor of the battle tower. "Oh." Even though Ajax slightly understood what the azure wind dragon was saying, he wanted to know more. So, he nodded his head at the dragon before asking another question. Unlike before, this time, the question was not about his predecessor; instead, it was about the battle tower. "Sir Dragon, can you talk about the halls of the battle tower and about the guardians?" "I hope the seal will not harm me if I talk about it." Hearing Ajax''s question, the huge dragon nodded his head as he continued, "Actually, there are only limited hall guardians in the battle tower. Your predecessor excelled in sealing techniques and using them, he allowed us to use our powers in parts." "With the increase of each floor, the sealing techniques will have less effect on us. So that we could use high battle-prowess on the next floor." While saying those words, the azure wind dragon was careful because he didn''t know what information he could give to Ajax without suffering pain. "So, how many floors are there in the battle tower?" ***** Joedashiel, thanks for the BALLON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 937: Miraculous Sacred Energy

Chapter 937: Miraculous Sacred Energy

"So, how many floors are there in the battle tower?" After understanding how the hall guardians were sealed on each floor of the battle tower, Ajax asked about the floor. "There are five floors in the battle tower. However, with your current strength, I hardly thought you could even defeat a hall guardian on the second floor. So, I suggest you increase your strength to King level to defeat the hall guardians on the second floor." Even though it was a sad reality, Ajax could not help but nod his head in understanding because he knew his current cultivation was still very low. "Good." The azure wind dragon was satisfied with Ajax''s attitude and suddenly his eyes fell on the dragon scales on the ground. "I have a surprise reward for you if you reach the second floor of the battle tower within a year. What do you say?" Even though the azure wind dragon didn''t know much about Ajax, he knew a little bit about Ajax''s predecessor and that as long as there was a good reward, he would have gone to any lengths. So, the azure dragon wanted Ajax to be powerful in a short time for some unknown reason. "I will definitely meet you once again on the second floor within a year." Once Ajax heard that there was a reward, he was excited and without thinking much he nodded his head. "That''s the spirit." Seeing how excited Ajax was, the azure wind dragon felt satisfied and thought, ''He was just like that bastard. The moment they hear the reward, they would even risk their lives.'' However, the next words from Ajax made the azure wind dragon nearly fall to the ground. "Can I know about the reward, Sir Dragon?" "Idiot. If I say that, what will be the surprise? Just remember that it would be a mythical level item. So, I am leaving it to your imagination." The azure wind dragon scoffed at Ajax before saying, "Okay then. It is time for you to either go to the next hall or get out of the battle tower to rest." ''Thud'' As soon as he finished his words, the huge dragon fell to the ground. "Oh!right!" Ajax nodded his head as he looked at himself and thought, ''It looks like I need to get out of the battle tower first.'' ''System, I want to get out of the battle tower.'' After activating his ''Demon form'', Ajax will be powerful; however, at the same time, he would be a lot weaker after 10 minutes. Currently, Ajax didn''t have any strength to fight anymore. So, without any hesitation, he asked the system to send him out of the battle tower. ''Ding, Once the host is sent out of the battle tower, he needs to wait at least 72 hours before re-entering the battle tower again. Are you sure you want to exit the battle tower? However, the system didn''t send him out of the battle tower; instead, it asked him for his confirmation. ''With my current condition. Even if you give me one week of time, I can''t recover. So, just send me out.'' Ajax shook his head as he confirmed his decision to go out of the battle tower. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax disappeared from the battle tower as his spirit consciousness entered his body which was currently soaking in the Sacred Pool. ''I will just focus on healing my injuries until I leave the Sacred Pool.'' With that thought in his mind, Sacred used his level 3 ''Heaven and earth refining technique'' and all of a sudden, the pure essence of nature along with the Sacred Energy rushed into Ajax''s body. ''What is happening?'' Princess Daphne, Levi and all the elemental spirits stopped cultivating for a moment as they sensed the sudden change in the direction of the essence of nature and the Sacred Energy. ''I wonder who is that monster that could make such a huge fluctuation in the Sacred Energy and the essence of nature.'' Both Levi and Princess Daphene thought the same thing; however, they didn''t ponder much about it as they soon entered into their cultivation states. After a few hours. ''Shine'' Exactly one day after Ajax and others entered into the secret realm, Levi''s body started shining with a bright light. ''Damn it. Looks like my time is up.'' Even though Levi closed his eyes, he could feel that something was pushing him out of this secret realm. So, he hurriedly summoned back all his elemental spirit into his spirit consciousness. ''Swoosh'' The moment he summoned back all his elemental spirits, he disappeared from the Sacred Pool without a trace. ''Senior brother Levi?'' The disappearance of Levi made some fluctuations in the Sacred Pool making Ajax open his eyes. ''It looks like his time in the Sacred Pool was up. I wonder how much his cultivation increased.'' As Ajax was unable to sense the presence of Levi, he came to the conclusion that his time was up. At the same time, he was curious about Levi cultivation because Levi was already terrifying cultivation of level 3 elite general realm before entering the Sacred Pool. ''I can check it after I leave this secret realm. Before that, I have to heal my spirit consciousness.'' Soon, Ajax stopped wondering about Levi''s cultivation as he focused on recovering his spirit consciousness. ''At this rate, I can recover my spirit consciousness in less than 12 hours. This Sacred Energy is truly miraculous.'' Ajax was shocked after seeing the benefits of absorbing the Sacred Energy into his body. ording to his previous estimates, it should have taken more than seven days; however, with the help of the Sacred Energy, he was expecting to recover his spirit consciousness in a single day. ''Ding, It is detected that a sufficient amount of Sacred Energy is umted in the host''s body. All of a sudden, a system notification appeared in his head that made Ajax raise his brows. ***** Onye_Okezie, thanks for the POTION. Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON x 2.

Chapter 938: Sacred Astral Energy

''Ding, The Sacred Energy in the host''s body is trying to rush towards the Astral Energy. ''Ding, Do you want tobine them together? ''What?'' While was still pondering about the earlier system notification, he got another couple of system notifications that gave him quite a surprise. Astral Energy, he got it in the Astral heart secret realm. At that time, new energy storage had opened in his body to store the astral energy; however, he didn''t haveplete knowledge of it. However, who would have expected that Astral Energy could be merged with Sacred Energy. ''It will definitely be a good thing, right?'' Ajax silently thought in his head. ''System, what are the benefits of merging them together?'' Without any hesitation, he asked the system about the benefits. Even though he didn''t know much about both the energies, Ajax guessed that it would only give him benefits because both the Astral Energy and the Sacred Energy are special energies. ''Ding, There are many benefits like helping others break through in their cultivation, change others body constitutions and so on. ''That''s good but what are the? benefits for me?'' Ajax nodded his head but he wanted to know how it would be beneficial for him. ''Ding, The host can unlock a new profession for himself that gives him many benefits. ''New profession?'' Ajax was taken aback when he saw the system notification in front of him and hurriedly asked, ''What is that?'' ''Ding, More details will be given after the host merges both the energy and collects a specific amount of energy. ''Then, just merge it.'' Without wasting any more time, Ajax gave permission to the system to merge both the energies. ''Ding, Merging Astral Energy and Sacred Energy. Please bear the pain. ''Che'' As soon as Ajax read the system notification, he was ready for the pain. So, he didn''t feel much pain. Moreover, he observed both the energies getting mixed up in his body. One white energy and one blue coloured energy. It looked like they didn''t want to get mixed up; however, there was a third mysterious energy which was gold in colour. This golden coloured energy forced both the Astral Energy and the Sacred Energy to get merged without much difficulty before disappearing without a trace. ''What is that Golden Energy? Where did ite from and where did it go?'' Ajax was surprised with the appearance and the disappearance of the golden energy and asked the system about it; however, there was no reply from the system making Ajax shake his head. ''Nevermind. The system will tell me when it is time.'' After having the system in his head for a year now, Ajax could say he knew how the system would behave and when it would answer his question. So, he didn''t pester it anymore regarding the Golden Energy and waited for the system notification regarding thepletion of the merging. ''Ding, Sacred Energy and Astral Energy are sessfully merged. ''Ding, The existing Astral Space will be reced with a special space called Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, In the Sacred Astral Space, the host can store equal amounts of the Sacred Energy and the Astral Energy. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Space:- Astral Energy (99 units) Sacred Energy (0 units). Note:- One unit of both the energies are merged to open the Sacred Astral Space. Ajax didn''t wait for much time before he received a series of system notifications that made him surprised. ''I have 0 units of Sacred Energy?'' However, what surprised Ajax the most was the number of units of Sacred Energy. ''System, now, tell me about the profession.'' Since the merging of both energies were sessful, Ajax asked the system about the profession that would use this Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Actually, you only need Sacred Energy to unlock a profession called ''Sacred Healer''; however, with the merging of the Astral Energy to the Sacred Energy, the host can learn an ancient profession called ''Sacred Astral Healer''. ''Huh? Sacred Healer? Sacred Astral Healer?'' Ajax felt like he heard those terms somewhere before; however, he was unable to remember much about them. Nevertheless, he came to a conclusion, ''Maybe I heard those terms in Elder Boron''s stories. I wonder why I can''t remember those words until now?'' Ajax thought that he remembered everything said by Elder Boron; however, he didn''t notice it until now that he forgot many things. ''It looks like I don''t have that much memory power.'' With a bitter smile on his face, Ajax shook his head. ''I know that the Sacred Healers can heal any kind of wounds depending on their grade but what will this Sacred Astral Healer do that is better than the regr healing?'' Ajax didn''t know how, but he remembered that Sacred Healer could heal; however, he didn''t have any clue regarding the Sacred Astral Healer. Just like any Alchemy and Weaponsmith, Sacred Healer is another profession that was valued more. That''s right! It was valued more than any other profession because there was not a single one in the entire Zrochester province. Maybe, there might be some, however, no one came forward proiming that they were the Sacred Healers for many reasons. Just like any other profession, it was ssified into various grades starting from grade 1. As for how many grades there were, no one had a clue about it either. ''Ding, Just absorb as much Sacred Energy as possible first. The system will exin everything after that. However, the system didn''t answer his question; instead, it asked him to absorb the Sacred Energy. ''I will not waste any more time and focus on absorbing more Sacred Energy.'' Ajax felt that now he finally had the motivation to absorb the Sacred Energy because as long as he filled it up, he would have more units of Sacred Astral Energy and the more he had, the more helpful it would be for his new profession. ***** Kellee_States, cageraymortal, thanks for the POTION. cageraymortal, thanks for all the BALLOON x 10. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 939: Levi learns a Law

Chapter 939: Levi learns a Law

Outside the old wall from where Ajax and others entered into the secret realm ''Turquoise secret realm'', a silhouette appeared and it was none other than Levi. ''Conceal.'' The moment he appeared in front of the old wall, Levi concealed his cultivation with a talisman his master had given to him. ''With that talisman, I can sessfully hide the cultivation from everyone below the King realm...hehe.'' For some reason, Levi revealed a dark smile on his face as he continued thinking, ''I need to find the master and inform him about the good news.'' Levi didn''t stay near the royal pce anymore as he directly rushed out from the ce to meet his master. As for Levi''s cultivation, except for himself, no one knows. ''Looks like his cultivation must have crossed level 5 elite general realm...damn it. Those vagrant cultivators'' disciples will be more powerful if I leave them just like that.'' King Stephen, who was waiting for Levi to be kicked out of the Sacred Pool, clenched his fists. Even though he was furious, King Stephen allowed Levi to leave that ce without giving him any trouble because of his master who warned him not to harm Levi; otherwise, his kingdom will fall. However, he was thinking about something else to take care of the vagrant cultivators and their disciples at the same time. ''I need to devise a good n just like the one that helped me massacre the hidden families without any difficulty.'' Soon, he started thinking about a n as he looked at the disappearing silhouette of Levi. .... Inside the Sacred Pool, Ajax waspletely focused on absorbing the Sacred Energy into his body and made the same number of units of Astral Energy. As for how to be a Sacred Healer or Sacred Astral Healer, Ajax left that task for the system. At the same time, on the edge of the Sacred Pool, the mutated spirit crane is still undergoing an evolution after consuming the primitive stone. However, the evolution lighting from her body decreased a little along with her size which was reduced by half. There were many changes in her body; however, because of the turquoise light, those changes were clearly not visible. As for Princess Daphne, her cultivation speed was terrifying, to begin with, and with the 30 times boost from the Sacred Pool, her breakthroughs are as easy as eating peanuts. Time continued to pass and in a sh, three days passed by from the time Ajax came out of his battle tower. ''Ding, The host can enter the battle tower to continue fighting the next halls. Do you want to enter? ''Huh? It''s already been three days? No wonder, while cultivating time passes by in a sh.'' Ajax was woken up by the system notification and guessed the number of days passed why he was in cultivation. ''No.'' Without thinking much, Ajax directly refused to enter the battle tower. Since he had such a good opportunity to be a ''Sacred Astral Healer'' by absorbing the Sacred Energy, why would he waste his time by entering the battle tower? So, of course, he rejected it. ''Even though I still don''t have theplete information on the Sacred Astral Healer, I already have a rough understanding of the Sacred Healer. So, the ''Sacred Astral Healer'' will be more useful than Sacred Healer.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax thought about going back to his cultivation. ''Hm...wait for a second. Let''s see how many units of Sacred Energy have I umted in thest three days?'' All of a sudden, Ajax was curious about his cultivation speed. So, he thought to check the umted Sacred Energy in his body. ''Ding, Second storage unit:- Sacred Astral Space .? ? ? Effect:- Merges the equal units of the Astral Energy with the equal units of the Sacred Energy on its own. Stored:- Sacred Astral Energy (50 units) Note:- Astral Energy (49 units) and Sacred Energy (0 units.) Storage limit:- 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. Soon, the information about the ''Sacred Astral Space'' appeared in front of Ajax and showed him the stored units of energies in it. ''Not bad. The number of units is more than I imagined. At this rate, umting 49 more units of Sacred Energy is not a big deal for me.'' Even though he said ''Not bad'', deep down, he was shocked to see that he was able to absorb 50 units of Sacred Energy. Moreover, those 50 units of Sacred Energy were merged with the 50 units of Astral Energy to form Sacred Astral Energy of 50 units. As for the reason why he said it was not a big deal to umte 50 units of Sacred Energy was because there is still more than 3 days of time left before the Sacred Pool is closed. "Huff" Ajax took a long breath as he started the same process once again. Right now, he was not worried about anything except for umting the 50 units of energy. ...¡­ Outside the royal city, ''Master, finally, I learned the cultivator''sw.'' In a tall pagoda outside the royal city, Levi opened his eyes as he spoke to himself. Currently, he was sitting in a cross-legged position and looked at the door. ''Creak'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, an old man rushed into the room with a shocked look on his face. "Really?" The moment he entered, he asked Levi with an excited look on his face. "Yes, Master Elek. Finally, I gained the cultivator''sw and currently, it is at level 1." That''s right! The old man was none other than Elek, one of the six vagrant cultivators. As for Levi, he was very excited to inform his master about the cultivator''sw. "Good...good." As Levi''s master, how could he not be proud when his disciple achieves something. With an ear to ear smile, Master Elek nodded his head as he took out a talisman before saying, "Everyone, gather here." ***** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the RING.

Chapter 940: Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall

When Levi was inside the Sacred Pool, he slightly gained insights into the cultivator''sw; however, before he couldpletely grasp the cultivator''sw, he was kicked out of the Sacred Pool. So, without a choice, he hurriedly rushed towards his master to inform him about the cultivator''sw. As a peak elite general realm cultivator, Master Elek knew the advantage of learning the cultivator''sw at a young age. So, he took him to private cultivation chambers which provide the cultivation boost ranging from 2x to 5x. However, to take a 5x boost cultivation chamber would cost a fortune. Nevertheless, Master Elek didn''t hesitate to spend that much because it would fasten the speed in learning the cultivator''sw. As for the name of the ''Private cultivation chambers'' name, it was "Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall". It was owned by the Protector Olek and managed by his servant whose cultivation was unknown. Just the status of the servant of the protector was enough to scare everyone. So, no one messed with the old man who manages the Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall. "Swoosh" "Whoosh" After informing other vagrant cultivators to gather in the room, Master Elek and Levi didn''t wait for much longer before everyone appeared in the room. "How did it go?" "Did he cross level 5 elite general realm?" The moment everyone appeared, they started asking Master Elek many questions regarding Levi. Actually, all the vagrant cultivators were keeping an eye on the royal pce to protect Ajax and Levi. That was the reason why they were able toe to the Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall within a few moments. So, they asked about the benefits gained by Levi in the Sacred Pool with expectant looks on their faces. "The benefits he gained are more than what we had expected." With a huge smile on his face, Master Elek replied to the other vagrant cultivators as he continued, "He learned a cultivator''sw." ''What?'' ''Are you telling the truth?'' ''Don''t joke about things like this.'' Everyone was shocked after hearing Master Elek''s words and looked at Levi as though they were seeing some kind of monster. Even though they behaved like they didn''t believe Master Elek, it waspletely opposite to that as they knew what kind of man Master Elek was. "Along with that, his cultivation had reached level 6 elite general realm." Soon, Master Elek said another good thing; however, it didn''t have any effect on the vagrant cultivators becausepared to the cultivator''sw, increment in the cultivation was not a big deal. "Congrattions, Levi." "Congrats." Soon, everyone congratted Levi before saying, "You are the first one among your friends to learn a cultivator''sw. I hope it might pressure others to learn cultivator''sw too." "Yeah. Anyway, let''s go back to our positions and keep an eye on the royal pce until Ajaxes out of the Sacred Pool safely." After talking about a few more things, Master Elek suggested that everyone should go back to their duties. Even though they didn''t have to risk just to protect Ajax, they didn''t want anything to happen because Ajax could connect them with his master in the future. Moreover, they liked Ajax because he was not at all arrogant even with a powerful master on his back. ''See you then.'' Soon, everyone disappeared from their ces to go and settled in the ces that were convenient to enter the royal pce the moment they sensed something was wrong. Moreover, they didn''t ask about Levi''s cultivator''sw because just like a summoner who didn''t want to show his elemental spirits, the cultivator''sw is a bigger trump card for the cultivator''s below King realm. So, they didn''t ask about it. "You can go back to our secret realm and continue learning your cultivator''sw. Let''s talk more after Ie back to the secret realm." Even Master Elek didn''t bother to ask about the cultivator''sw; instead, he asked Levi to enter his secret realm. "But, Master, I want to..." "No need to worry about Ajax. We, six old men, can take care of Ajax. All you need to do is continue to cultivate and know more about your cultivator''sw in our secret realm." Before Levi could say anything, Master Elek interrupted him and asked him to go away. "Okay, master." Even though he was a little disappointed, he knew why his master wanted him to leave to the secret realm because there he could get a better understanding of his cultivator''sw without getting noticed by the sects or the great families or the royal family. So, nodded his head, Levi rushed out of the Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall. ''I hope he learned a powerful cultivator''sw.'' Simrly, Master Elek also rushed towards his secret ce to observe the movements in the royal pce. ... ''Interesting...the kid from the Ylercester province has already learned a cultivator''sw. I wonder how Brother Erin would reach when I inform him about it.'' Inside the top level of the Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall, there was a midlde-aged man sitting in a cross-legged position, muttered those words as he startedughing. ''Since I already got permission to keep that kid in my province, I wonder what he is going to do and I can''t wait to see that expression.'' ''Anyway, I will wait until that kid reaches the peak level 10 elite general realm before informing Brother Erin about it.'' The middle-aged man was none other than the Protector Olek, the guardian of the Zrochester province. Since he was the owner of the Heavenly Cultivation Enhancement Hall, of course, he could enjoy the top cultivation chamber in the hall. While thinking, Protector Olek startedughing crazily as though he found something very interesting. ''As for Ajax, I will not have any ns for him as that old monster had already nned everything for him.'' However, when he thought about Ajax, Protector Olek shook a little before stopping thinking about Ajax. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON x 2.

Chapter 941: 99 units of Sacred Astral Energy

One day after another continued to pass and in a sh, more than two days had passed since Levi learned the cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully merging 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Space:- Sacred Astral Energy (99 units), Astral Energy (0 units) and Sacred Energy (1 unit) ''Ding, The host can''t absorb any more Sacred Energy. Please spend the Sacred Astral Energy to absorb more. Inside the Sacred Pool, Ajax opened his eyes with a series of system notifications in his head. ''Finally, it''s done. It took less time than I imagined.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief with the system notifications and asked, "System, can you help me be the Sacred Astral Healer?" Since he had done his part, Ajax wanted the system to help him. As for the time taken to fill the Sacred Energy quota in the Sacred Astral Space was not what Ajax had expected. It was faster. So, he was surprised; however, he didn''t think much about it. ''Ding, Of course, the system is here to help the host; however, to unlock the ''Sacred Astral Healer'' profession, the host needs to umte 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Please umte one unit of Astral Energy. So that, it will merge with thest unit of the Sacred Energy to transform into the Sacred Astral Energy. ''What? Where should I find a single unit of Astral energy?'' Ajax became frustrated with the system notifications as he didn''t expect that he still needed one more unit of energy. Moreover, it was not the Sacred Energy he needed but the Astral Energy. ''Sigh...I can only go back to ask Master Elek to give him the permission to enter his secret realm.'' Ajax sighed as he thought about asking Master Elek because he got his previous 100 units of Astral Energy from Master Elek''s secret realm ''Astral Heart''. Actually, he had 100 units of Astral Energy before entering the Sacred Pool; however, one unit of Astral Energy mixed with one unit of Sacred Energy to rece the Astral space with the Sacred Astral Space in his body. Since he was inside the Sacred Pool, he was not short on the Sacred Energy; however, he was short on the Astral Energy by a single unit. ''Can you at least tell me what additional benefits a Sacred Astral Healer has?'' While shaking his head, Ajax asked the system about the Sacred Astral Healer. ''Ding, Before knowing about the Sacred Astral Healer, the host needs to know¡­ ''Ding, The tree of blessing is trying tomunicate with the host. Please enter the inner world. Just as the system was trying to exin to him about the Sacred Astral Healer, he got another system notification that interrupted its previous system notification. However, the second system notification piqued Ajax''s interest and without wasting any time, he entered the inner world. ''Swoosh'' The moment entered the inner world, he walked towards the ce where the ''Tree of blessing'' was nted. ''Master.'' Just as Ajax reached the ''Tree of blessing'', a small light ball appeared right above the tree as it called Ajax addressing him as master. ''Huh? You are the ''Tree of blessing''? What do you want to talk about?'' Ajax was surprised to hear the voice of a young girl from the light ball. Nevertheless, he asked her whether it was the ''Tree of blessing'' who wanted to talk with him. Since the system informed him that the ''Tree of blessing'' wanted to talk with him, he wanted to know the reason because the ''Tree of blessing'' is very special to him. ''Yes, Master. I am the soul of the ''Tree of blessing''. At my current level, I can''t give you, a summoner, any benefits; however, the moment I enter the Legend grade, I can give you one special blessing.'' The voice of the young girl from the small light ball didn''te to the point directly; instead, she tempted Ajax with the future rewards as she continued to say, "I want a little help from you, Master." ''As expected, she wanted something from me.'' While listening to her words, Ajax thought that the ''Tree of blessing'' needed something from him right now and that was the only reason why she was saying that she would give him a special blessing. "What can I help you with?" Ajax didn''t expect anything from the ''Tree of blessing'' for himself; however, he knew that the higher the grade, the more benefits his elemental spirits are going to get. So, he didn''t bother to think much as he decided to help the ''Soul of the tree of blessing''. "I sensed that the master has a huge amount of Sacred Astral Energy in his body. I am wondering whether the master is willing to give me some of it?" After some hesitation, the young girl''s voice from the small light ball asked him. ''Hm'' When he heard those words, Ajax was not surprised or shocked because he kind of expected it already. Right now, it was the only useful thing a ''Tree'' could ask from him; however, he started thinking about the pros and cons if he gave his Sacred Astral Energy. "How much do you want?" Even though he didn''t know how other beings count the Sacred Astral Energy, he wanted to ask how much the ''Tree of blessing'' wants from him. "At least 50 percent of what the master has in his body will help me break into the Legend grade; however, the more the better." Seeing that Ajax remained silent for a moment before asking her how much she wanted, she became a little excited and hurriedly replied to Ajax. ''What? 50 percent? That is insane?'' Ajax was shocked to hear that. Because it was not an easy thing for him to gain that amount of Sacred Astral Energy. Moreover, he was still in need of one unit of Sacred Astral Energy to be a Sacred Astral Healer. **** cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP x 2.

Chapter 942: Transforming into Spirit

Even though Ajax didn''t know much about the ''Sacred Astral Healer'' profession, he was sure about one thing and it was, as long as he unlocked that profession, he didn''t have to worry about getting injured in the battles because he could heal himself. However, at the same time, it was important for him to have a high grade ''Tree of blessing'' because it would help all his elemental spirits. So, he fell into a dilemma. ''Huf'' Finally, Ajax took a long breath as he came to a decision, ''Since I have two healing type elemental spirits, I don''t think that the ''Sacred Astral Healer'' profession is not that importantpared to upgrading the ''Tree of blessing''. Moreover, she promised me that she will give me a special blessing. So, I guess, I will just give her the Sacred Astral Energy.'' Currently, he has two healing elemental spirits. They were Spirus, a life elemental spirit and Lumin, the light elemental spirit. So, after thinking for some time, he decided on helping the ''Tree of blessing''. "Should I just transfer the Sacred Astral Energy into your body?" Aftering to a conclusion, Ajax asked the small light ball hovering about the ''Tree ofo blessing''. "Thank you so much for your help, Master." Hearing Ajax''s words, the soul of the ''Tree of blessing'' hurriedly thanked him before saying, "Yes, master. Just inject it into the main branch." As soon as she finished her words, she entered the tree and waited for Ajax to inject the Sacred Astral Energy. ''Hm'' Nodding his head, Ajax walked to the ''Tree of blessing'' and started injecting into the main branch. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' The moment the Sacred Astral Energy entered into the ''Tree of blessing'', it started growing at an incredible speed. Within no time, it crossed the 10 meters height and continued to grow without showing any signs of stopping. ''Holy heavens...what is happening to it?'' Not only the main branch, all the side branches that were grown because of his elemental spirits were also growing at an incredible speed. ''From the looks of it, the blessing from this tree is going to be more powerful than before.'' Looking at the rapidly growing tree in front of him, Ajax could not help but step backwards as he wondered about the blessing fruits that his elemental spirits were going to get from the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, 50 units of the Sacred Astral Energy is consumed by the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for seeding upgrading the ''Tree of blessing'' to the Legend grade. Soon, the growth in the ''Tree of blessing'' stopped after reaching 100 meters of height with more than a couple of meters of radius in width. At the same time, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief. "I will talk with you after filling the Sacred Energy in my body." Since the ''Tree of blessing'' is sessfully upgraded to the Legend grade, Ajax felt it was time for him to go out of the inner world and absorb the Sacred Energy. Even though it would take time to gain the Sacred Astral Energy, Ajax wanted to fill the Sacred Energy quota in the Sacred Astral Space. So that, in the future, when Astral Energy is avable for him, both energies would merge on their own. ''I will destroy one or two worlds before asking Master Elek about Astral Energy.'' As for Astral Energy, currently, he only knew one ce where he could get the Astral Energy from; however, he doubted anything left in that ce becausest time he went there, he nearly sucked the Astral Energy dry from the Astral Mountain. ''Wait for a second. What if I find a way to enter those Astral stars in the Secret realm?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about something and felt a little hopeful; however, he was interrupted by the soul of the ''Tree of blessing.'' "Master, do you want me to absorb all the Sacred Energy from the Sacred Pool. It will be faster that way and you can absorb anytime you want from him." "What?" When he heard the words of the tree''s soul, he was shocked. The reason he was shocked to hear those words was because if she really had the ability, then she must have already umted enough Sacred Energy. Anyway, he was not bothered about it and wanted to know something from the tree''s soul. "You can absorb the Sacred Energy faster than me?" Ajax controlled his emotions as he asked the tree''s soul with a surprised look on his face. "Swoosh" Soon, the small light ball came out of the huge ''Tree of blessing'' and started materializing into a humanoid silhouette. With each passing second, the green-coloured light became brighter and blinded Ajax''s vision. ''Huh? What is happening?'' Ajax maintained some distance as he didn''t know what was happening with the tree''s soul. Soon, the shining light disappeared and revealed a 10 year-old girl. She was wearing a green coloured frock and surrounded by a green-coloured halo making her look like some kind of little goddess. "If I was still a soul, then it would have been not possible; however, now, I am a spirit, Master. Absorbing Sacred Energy is a piece of work for me." The moment she appeared, she replied to Ajax with a slight smile on her face. "Okay then. Let''s do one thing. We should absorb as much Sacred Energy as possible before the Sacred Pool closes." Ajax already knew all the things in this world could gain the conscious, soul and then spirit. So, he was not surprised by the appearance of the little girl. Since there was only one more day left before the Sacred Pool closes, he wanted to absorb as much energy as possible because he didn''t know where and when he could find the Sacred Energy again. "Okay, master." The little girl nodded her head seriously which made her look even more cute. ***** No gifts. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 943: Tree Spirit Gloria

Chapter 943: Tree Spirit Gloria

"By the way, master, I can give you the special blessing as I promised anytime you want." Before the little girl started absorbing the Sacred Energy, she suddenly remembered something and informed Ajax. "Don''t worry about it for now." Ajax didn''t mind waiting a little longer because filling his Sacred Energy into his body is more important now. "Also, I will call you Gloria from now onwards. I hope you don''t mind." Before disappearing from the inner world, Ajax named the tree spirit, making the little girl stop in the mid-air and look at the ce where Ajax had disappeared. ''Gloria? It''s a good name but I wonder whether I will get back my past glory with the help of my new master.'' After saying those words, the little girl directly entered into the tall ''Tree of blessing''. ''Swoosh'' The moment she entered the tree, the Sacred Energy that was entering into the inner world starteding two times more than what it used toe (means 30 times). After a few seconds, the speed became triple and it didn''t stop there as it continued to rush into the inner world at a scary level. The speed at which the Sacred Energy was entering into the inner world maintained a constant speed of 100 times. However, most of the Sacred Energy was absorbed by the ''Tree of blessing'' and only a small portion was left to the other elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Nevertheless, that small portion was more than enough for them because they could only store a limited Sacred Energy just like Ajax. So, they have to refine their bodies with Sacred Energy before absorbing it once again. ''At this rate, my storage space will be filled in 20 hours or so. I hope there? is enough Sacred Energy in the Sacred Pool.'' As for the tree spirit Gloria, she looked at the storage unit of the ''Tree of blessing'' and silently muttered to herself. As for how much capacity of Sacred Energy the ''Tree of blessing'' could store, no one knows. Even Gloria didn''t know how to measure the amount of Sacred Energy. ... In the Sacred Pool, As for Ajax, he was oblivious at what speed the ''Tree of blessing'' was absorbing the Sacred Energy into her body because he waspletely focusing on increasing as many units of Sacred Energy as possible before he got kicked out of the Sacred Pool. ''Ding, Second storage:- Sacred Astral Space (Grade 1) Main Energy:- Sacred Astral Energy (49 / 100 units). Sub energies:- Sacred Energy (4 / 51units) and Astral Energy (0 / 51 units) Note:- At the current grade, Energy, whether it was merged or demerged, will not exceed 100 units. ''Excellent. At this rate, I might umte more than 30 units of Sacred Energy before the time is up.'' Ajax slightly took a peek at his Sacred Astral Space beforepletely focusing on absorbing the Sacred Energy. Even though Ajax felt that more and more Sacred Energy and the pure essence of nature was sucked into the inner world, he didn''t bother to check on the ''Tree of blessing''. Even Princess Daphne felt the sharp fluctuations around her; however, she didn''t bother about it and only focused on cultivating. Time continued to pass and in a sh, two more days passed. It''s been nearly a week since Ajax and Princess Daphne entered the Sacred Pool. The pure essence of nature and the Sacred Energy around them was not what it used to be as they were absorbed by Ajax, his summons and the ''Tree of blessing''. Even though the ''Tree of blessing'' was thest one to start absorbing the Sacred Energy and the essence of nature, she was the one who absorbed more than anyone. The next one would be Ajax followed by Princess Daphne. Another important thing waspared to Princess Daphne''s elemental spirits, Ajax''s summons benefited a lot because of the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, Host, it is detected that there were only a few 100 units of Sacred Energy left in the Sacred Pool. It is suggested to stop here; otherwise, the royal family will hunt you down if they find out you absorb everything. ''What?'' Ajax was in deep cultivation when he was awakened by the system notification that gave him quite a scare. If the Sacred Energy waspleted, then they would be forcibly kicked out of the secret realm and the royal family would definitely not leave him without questioning. ''Everyone, stop cultivating.'' Soon, he ordered his summons to stop absorbing the Sacred Energy. ''Ding, Everyone stopped absorbing the Sacred Energy a few hours back because their bodies could only store a limited number of units. ''Good.'' When he heard that, Ajax nodded his head as he felt relieved before asking the system, ''How much time left before the one week time toplete?'' ''Ding, In less than one hour, the Sacred Pool closes naturally. ''That was quite close.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the system notification. He was not worried that Princess Daphne and her summons would finish those few hundreds of units of the Sacred Energy in less than an hour. ''Hm...not bad. My Sacred Energy reached 34 units which were a little more than my estimation.'' Next, he checked his Sacred Astral Space to see how many units he umted in a single day and nodded his head. ''Now, it''s time to check on the upgraded ''Tree of blessing''.'' With that thought in his mind, he sent his spirit consciousness form into the inner world. ''Looks like they are still digesting the Sacred Energy and the pure essence of nature. I will check on them once they wake up.'' The moment he entered into his inner world, his eyesnded on his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that were still in the deep cultivation. However, he didn''t disturb them; instead, he walked towards the ''Tree of blessing'' and called, "Gloria." *** cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 944: Special branch of the Tree of Blessing

Chapter 944: Special branch of the ''Tree of Blessing''

"I am here, master." As soon as Ajax called her name, the tree spirit came out of the ''Tree of blessing'' with a cute smile on her face. From the moment she evolved from a soul to a spirit, she was always maintaining a smile on her face. "So, how many units of Sacred Energy did you collect?" Without wasting any time with her, Ajax directly asked about the Sacred Energy. "Th...this...I don''t know, master." While cing her little hand on her chin, Gloria thought about it; however, in the end, she shook her head. "What do you mean?" Ajax raised his brows a little; however, he didn''t be angry fearing that the little girl might cry and it would make him look bad in front of his summons. So, he asked with a calm look on his face. "I don''t know how to measure it. But I filled the entire storage space in my true body." This time, the little girl Gloria didn''t think much before replying to Ajax. While saying those words, she was pointing her finger at the 100-meter tall ''Tree of blessing''. Since she is the spirit of the ''Tree of blessing'', the 100-meter tall tree is her true body and anything she wanted to do, she could only do many things with her true body. Nevertheless,plete control is in the hands of the spirit. That was the reason why the rate at which the Sacred Energy entered into the inner world increased so much. ''I forget about it.'' Ajax shook his head and instead ofo asking any questions to Gloria, he just contacted the system, ''System, show me the details regarding the ''Tree of blessing''.'' ''Ding, Special being:- Tree of blessing. Grade:- Legend (Spirit appearance gained) Master:- Ajax. Helpers:- Cerauno, Volcanis, Bane, Necros. Spirit consciousness:- 100000 / 100000 units of the essence of nature. Sacred Space:- 500 / 500 units of Sacred Energy. Note:- Allows the master and helps to absorb the essence of nature and Sacred Energy in times of absolute need. More information:- More helpers the tree gets, more benefits would be unlocked. As soon as he asked the system about the ''Tree of blessing'', theplete information about the tree appeared in front of Ajax''s eyes. ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax was shocked to see the capacity of the spirit consciousness and the Sacred Space. ''I only have a little more than 20000 units of the essence of nature and only 100 units of Sacred Energy but it already has so much capacity.'' Ajax muttered to himself; however, when he saw the note on the holographic screen, he could not help but excite. ''Since I can absorb the Sacred Energy from the ''Tree of blessing'', I need not to worry about the Sacred Energy in the future. I only need to worry about Astral Energy.'' Ajax felt satisfied with the upgrade he had done with the ''Tree of blessing''. Even though it would take some time before he could collect the Astral Energy, he got more than enough Sacred Energy. "For now, store the Sacred Energy well and as for the essence of nature, you can do whatever you want to do." For him, the essence of nature is thest thing he would worry about as he has an elite general spirit gourd with 200000 units of capacity. "As you wish, master." Gloria nodded her head with her usual smile on her face. To her, the essence of nature is not much useful in increasing her grade and as for the Sacred Energy, even though it was useful,pared to the Sacred Astral Energy, it was nothing. So, she wanted to store all the Sacred Energy in her storage space for Ajax and in the future, she could exchange for more Sacred Astral Energy from Ajax. "So, let''s talk about my special blessing now, shall we?" Next, Ajax asked Gloria with an expectant look on her face. "Yes, master." Gloria was already expecting Ajax to ask about his special blessing. So, he nodded her head as she flew into the sky and soon, shended on a top branch of the ''Tree of blessing''. "Master, this branch is for you." Standing on the top of the branch, Gloria shouted at Ajax, so that he could hear her words. ''Huh? A branch?'' Ajax was surprised after hearing her words; however, he was interested in that branch because every part of the ''Tree of blessing'' was not as simple as it looks. Currently, there were only a few branches and almost all the branches were linked to the elemental spirits that supplied their spirit essence to the ''Tree of blessing''. However, the branch that the little spirit was standing was, belonged to no one. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax flew into the air and since he was in the spirit consciousness form, he could fly as high as he wanted to. "This branch is special belongs to the master of the ''Tree of blessing'', which means, it belongs to." Soon, Ajaxnded on the branch and heard Gloria speak about the branch they were standing on. The branch waspletely green in colour because it waspletely covered by green moss. "Please give the branch a drop of master''s blood to form a special link with the branch." In the next second, Gloria asked Ajax to drop his blood, making Ajax frown. "I am already a master of this ''Tree of blessing'', right? So, why do I still need to drop the blood?" Ajax was not worried about the drop of blood; however, he didn''t understand why he had to drop the blood to form a special link despite the fact he was already the master of the ''Tree of blessing''. "It is the standard procedure, master. Only when you form a special link with the branch, it will give you what you want the most." Gloria exined with the same cute smile on her face making Ajax don''t ask any further questions. ***** Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON x 3 Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON. cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 945: Astral Moss Branch

Chapter 945: Astral Moss Branch

''So, this is another benefit of owning the ''Tree of blessing''.'' Even though he didn''t ask Gloria any more questions, Ajax thought to himself and soon became excited as he continued to think, ''I wonder what kind of blessing I will receive from this branch.'' ''Drip'' Without wasting any more time, Ajax dropped his blood on the branch. ''Shush'' The moment Ajax''s blood dropped onto the branch he was standing on, it disappeared without a trace and started shining with a green light. ''I hope it really unlocks what I want the most.'' Ajax was blinded by the bright green-coloured light. So, he closed his eyes; however, he didn''t stop hoping for a good blessing that would increase his strength. That''s right! Currently, Ajax needs power and as long as he has enough power, he doesn''t have to worry about using his summons as he wished. While Ajax was hoping for a blessing that would give him the power with his eyes closed, the green-coloured lighting from the branch grew in intensity before changing into a purple-coloured light. At the same time, the green-coloured moss on the branch also started changing from green colour to purple colour. After a couple of minutes, the purple-coloured light disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a light purple-coloured moss on the branch. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for connecting with the special branch of the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, The host received a special blessing ''Astral moss branch''. Please check more details in the ''Tree of blessing'' section. Ajax only opened his eyes when he heard the two system notifications and he was surprised to see the purple coloured moss on the branch. ''Astral moss branch? Don''t tell me it is what I think it is.'' Controlling his expectations, Ajax hurriedly opened the ''Tree of blessing'' section and focused on the ''Astral moss branch''. ''Ding, Special branch name:- Astral moss branch. Use:- A branch that is capable of producing Astral Energy with the help of special moss called Astral moss. Note:- The host can only collect the Astral Energy when the moss on the branchpletely turns into a bright purple colour. ''What?'' Ajax felt like he was dreaming and hurriedly checked the information on the ''Astral moss branch'' once again. After confirming what he had seen was real, he was excited. Actually, he was a little disappointed in the beginning because he was hoping that he would get something that would make him powerful. However, when he thought that getting powerful in the shortest time was a little greedy, Ajax felt the blessing he received was good. Even though it would not make him powerful, it would help him be a Sacred Astral Healer. ''However, I don''t know how many units of Astral Energy it will produce. Ajax checked the holographic screen in front of him; however, there was no mention of the Astral Energy amount that the Astral moss would produce. "Master, how is it? Did you like the special blessing?" Beside him, the little spirit Gloria asked Ajax with a slight smile on her face. "Yeah. It is good." Ajax nodded his head at the little girl before thinking in his head, ''It''s worth that risk I took in upgrading the ''Tree of blessing'' to legend grade. Now, I don''t have to worry about Sacred Energy and Astral Energy.'' He has 49 units of Sacred Astral Energy along with 34 units of Sacred Energy. In the Energy storage space of the ''Tree of blessing'', there are 500 units of Sacred Energy. The only thing he wascking was the Astral Energy to merge with Sacred Energy. However, with the help of the special blessing from the ''Tree of blessing'', even that problem was resolved now. ''All I need to do right now is wait until 51 units of the Astral Energy umte in the moss.'' Looking at the light purple-coloured moss, Ajax silently thought in his head as he lightly touched the moss. ''Ding, No Astral Energy to collect. Please wait 10 days to collect the Astral Energy. Ajax was surprised with the appearance of sudden system notification; however, he became a little expectant with the amount of Astral Energy he was going to get after 10 days. However, all his expectations were destroyed with the next system notification. ''Ding, The current rate of Astral Energy production from the moss is one unit per 10 days. ''What the hell?'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax nearly fell from the special branch as he shouted at the system; however, as usual, there was no reply from the system. ''At this rate, it will take nearly 16 months to collect 51 units of Astral Energy...Damn it.'' When he calcted the time taken for him to fill the Astral Energy''s quota in the Sacred Astral Space, he was shocked and shaking his head in disappointment. "What happened, master? Did you not like the special blessing?" Gloria asked him with a concerned look on her face. "No, I like it." Ajax shook his head as he thought to himself, ''I was excited about nothing and that is the reason for my disappointment.'' Where there are great expectations and excitement, there will be a great disappointment. That''s what happened right now. ''Anyway, I have to enter the Astral Heart secret realm to collect some Astral Energy after some time. In that way, I can reduce the time taken to fill the required quota of the Astral Energy.'' Ajax nned to go to Master Elek''s secret realm in the future. "Is there any way, I can upgrade this special branch or do I have to upgrade the entire ''Tree of blessing''?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked Gloria because only she could answer them without expecting anything in return, unlike the system. "Master can''t upgrade the special branch alone. He has to help me upgrade into the Mythical grade. At that time, along with the tree, the special branch will be upgraded." Gloria''s words made Ajax nod his head before asking, "Tell me the ways to upgrade you." *** No gifts. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 946: Crowned Turquoise Spirit Crane

Chapter 946: Crowned Turquoise Spirit Crane

Currently, Ajax needed Astral Energy to be a ''Sacred Astral Healer''. Even though he has a stable production of Astral Energy, it would take nearly 17 months; however, Ajax wanted to get that progression as soon as possible because he could self-heal with the profession. As for the other uses of the ''Sacred Astral Healer'', he could only find out after bing a Sacred Astral Healer because the system was not giving any information on it. So, in his present situation, he could only do three things regarding Astral Energy. One, he could go to Master Elek''s secret realm ''Astral Energy''. Two, he could just find a way to upgrade the ''Tree of blessing'' from Legend grade to Mythical grade. As for the third option, he could only wait in patience until the Astral moss branch umted enough Astral Energy for him to merge with Sacred Energy to be a Sacred Astral Energy. "If Master can give me the 100 times of the Sacred Astral Energy that master has given me earlier, then I will directly enter into the Mythical grade." As though she was expecting Ajax to ask that question, she hurriedly informed the method to upgrade her from Legend grade to Mythical grade. ''What? 100 times? That means 5000 units of Sacred Astral Energy.'' Ajax was shocked to hear Gloria''s words and hurriedly calcted the amount of Sacred Astral Energy required to upgrade the ''Tree of blessing'' in units. "I know it is too much; however, the benefits received by the Master and his elemental spirits are simrly powerful." Seeing Ajax''s facial expression, Gloria knew what Ajax was thinking and hurriedly exined why she needed such an insane amount of Sacred Astral Energy. "Right! You have a point." Soon, Ajax recovered from his shock and agreed with the tree spirit. Since he and his elemental spirits were going to receive more and more powerful blessings from the ''Tree of blessing'', it would not be a big surprise for the tree to require such an insane amount of Sacred Astral Energy. "Any other ways to upgrade you?" Nodding his head, Ajax asked Gloria with a calm look on his face. "There are many ways like a core heart of another ''Tree of blessing'' or a greater world''s golden core or many other things." Gloria finished her reply within seconds; however, that made Ajax''s heart ache a little. All the things that the tree spirit said, it would be almost impossible for him to find or get one of those things. "Let''s not talk about it for now." Soon, Ajax came to a conclusion that he just needed to wait for now and let the special branch ''Astral moss branch'' umte the Astral Energy on its own at its own pace. "Sure, master.'' Gloria knew how hard it was to get those items. So, she just nodded her head without saying anything. "I will take my leave now." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax flew down the ''Tree of blessing'' and nced at the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts before leaving the inner world. Apparently, they were still digesting the energy they absorbed from earlier. So, he didn''t want to disturb them for now. ''Since I will not be absorbing the Sacred Energy anymore, I will just go out of the Sacred Pool and take a look at that blue spirit crane.'' Aftering back from the inner world, Ajax didn''t want to just stay in the Sacred Pool by doing nothing; instead, he wanted to check on the mutated spirit crane of Princess Daphne. Since he gave a mid-grade primitive stone, Ajax was expecting some good results and adding to the fact the spirit crane was beside the Sacred Pool, Ajax was curious about the growth of the spirit crane. ''Holy heavens'' However, aftering out of the Sacred Pool, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen. The blue coloured spirit crane which used to be more than 10 meters in height was currently only 2 meters. Aside from the size of the blue spirit crane, what shocked Ajax the most was the light emitted by the feathers of the spirit crane. ''It looks like its evolution is still notpleted.'' However, when Ajax thought about the Sacred Energy and the primitive stone, his shock disappeared without a trace. ''You are back.'' As though she sensed something, the spirit crane which wasying on the ground opened her eyes and said those words to Ajax. "Yes." Ajax only nodded his head fearing that the spirit crane might get scared if he asked too many details regarding her evolution. ''System, give me the information about the spirit crane.'' However, he didn''t need to ask as he had other ways to find out about theplete changes in the blue spirit crane. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Crowned Turquoise Spirit Crane. Strength:- Peak-level rank 6. Bloodline:- Crowned Turquoise Queen (80 percent) Skills:- Advanced flight, Advanced healing, Feather strike, Advanced water maniption, Turquoise beam, Turquoise spirit shield. Special skill:- Queen''s dominance. Skill information:- When the skill is used, all the spirit cranes will submit regardless of the cultivation and other flying type spirit beasts will hesitate to fight it. More information:- When the bloodline percentage reaches 100 percent, the spirit beast will unlock more skills and memories belonging to the Crowned Turquoise Queen from the Turquoise greater world. ''As expected, Sacred Energy and the Primitive Energy from the primitive stone helped her reach the peak rank 6. All she has to do now is improve her bloodline.'' After seeing the cultivation of the spirit crane, he was not at all surprised because he was already expecting something like that to happen. Also, he was satisfied with the bloodline percent. ''Thank you for giving me the stone that contained Primitive Energy. It helped me a lot.'' In the next second, the spirit crane bowed to Ajax in respect. "Good to hear that" ''Ding, The quest tab generated a new mission. Please check the quest tab. ***** Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON x 2.

Chapter 947: Crowned Turquoise Queen''s Past

''Huh? A new mission at a time like this?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment as he didn''t expect to get a system mission right now. ''Let''s see what the mission is.'' Nevertheless, he thought to check the mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Protect the Little Blue. Grade:- A + Reward:- A special skill ''Barrier jumper''. Skill Information:- With that skill, the host can pass through any barriers below King grade barriers. Mission Aim:- For the next six months, the host has to protect the mutated spirit crane. Mission details:- Because of the host''s actions of giving a primitive stone, the mutated spirit crane''s bloodline ''Crowner Turquoise Queen'' purity increased to 50 percent. There is a mysterious group from the other provinces hunting down the bearers of that bloodline for some unknown reason. More details:- Soon, that mysterious group will be sending their men to kill the spirit crane. It is the host''s responsibility to protect the crane. Note:- This is a mandatory mission. So, the host can''t ignore it. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with a lengthy exnation of the mission. ''A mandatory mission? It is the second time the system has given me such a mission.'' Ajax raised his brows as he read the information about the mission. ''Since this is a mandatory mission, I don''t have a choice to reject it.'' Ajax shook his head and slowly checked theplete details. ''Risky mission with just a good skill. I think I can just try my best inpleting the mission.'' Right now, Ajax felt he should take the risk because all his summons became more powerful with the help of Sacred Energy. Moreover, he thought he could use the reward to go to the other provinces. ''However, the problem is how to convince Princess Daphne and the Spirit crane?'' Soon, Ajax started thinking about how to convince both master and the contracted spirit beast. The thing is, he can''t follow around Princess Daphne for the next six months as he had many things to take care of. So, he could only take the mutated spirit crane with him as it would be very convenient for him. "Argh" Just as Ajax was thinking about a way to take the spirit crane with him, he heard a painful groan as the mutated spirit crane fell to the ground. ''Huh? What is happening?'' Ajax became anxious as he hurriedly checked on the crane. As for the reason why he became anxious when he saw the spirit crane fall to the ground, it was because if something happens to the spirit crane, his mission would be failed. ''Aargh'' Just as he touched the feathers of the spirit crane, Ajax felt a strong pull from the crane''s body. Before he could notice what was happening to him, he found himself floating in a Turquoise coloured endless space. In the distance, he saw a huge throne and on the throne, there was a youngdy sitting on it. She had a celestial face with long blue-coloured hair. She was wearing a turquoise coloured gown that was emitting the turquoise light making her look like a celestial. ''Huh? Who is she? Is she a celestial being?'' Ajax was mesmerized by the beauty of the youngdy sitting on the throne and directly assumed her to be a Celestial. ''Huh? There is someone else.'' Currently, Ajax was floating in the air a few kilometers away from the youngdy sitting on the throne and in front of her, there were two spirit consciousnesses hovering in the air. ''That is a little blue?'' Among the two spirit consciousnesses, Ajax recognized one of the spirit consciousnesses belongs to the mutated spirit crane. ''If it is ''little blue'', then I wonder who is the owner of the other spirit consciousness.'' Soon, Ajax''s eyes fell on the second spirit consciousness as he started observing it. ''I have never seen such a powerful spirit consciousness below the King realm. Don''t tell me, he or she is a King realm expert.'' From a look, Ajax could tell that the spirit consciousness was very powerful; however, he can''t tell exactly how powerful it was. "Crowned turquoise spirit crane and Turquoise aqua dragon king, listen carefully to my words as I will not repeat them for the second time." Just as Ajax was checking on the second spirit consciousness which looked like a normal human, he heard the youngdy sitting on the huge throne speaking to the two spirit consciousnesses in front of her. ''What? Does the second spirit consciousness belong to a dragon?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard those words because he didn''t expect the second spirit consciousness to be a dragon as it looked just like a regr human being. "Before giving the reason why I summoned you two here, I will tell you my past." The youngdy didn''t stand up from the throne as she started the story, "I am the Crowned Turquoise Queen, the queen of the Turquoise greater world which is also known as Sacred World as we, the people of the Turquoise greater world specialize in healing because of that, many evil greater worlds tried to invade us." "However, we have our own allies but we didn''t know that our allies only wanted our healing techniques. Once they got hold of them, they didn''t respond to our call for help and allowed the evil greater worlds to destroy my world." By the time the youngdy took a pause, she became very angry as she mmed the handle of her throne. "Even though I know I can''t win against the evil greater worlds, I tried my best to kill them." Soon, the youngdy continued saying again, "I didn''t want to be devoured by evil beings and at the same time, I wanted to have some sessor to pass the traditional healing techniques which I saved from the hands of my own allies and the evil beings. So, I sent my blood to the nearby worlds. I hope you work together to be stronger." ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to hear the past of the youngdy. *** Zachary_Ross_9246, Niscka and cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters.

Chapter 948: Xacaster Province

The reason he was shocked was because of the identity of the youngdy sitting on the throne. ''If she is a Queen of a greater world, then she must have a cultivation of the above King realm, right?'' Ajax silently muttered to himself and wanted to hear more; however, he received a system notification. ''Ding, Yes, her cultivation is beyond the King realm. ''Did you pull me into this space?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and asked the system. ''Ding, That''s right! ording to the mission, the host has to learn everything happening here to get an idea of what was happening with the mutated spirit crane. ''If she is really that powerful, are you sure it is safe for me to hear her words secretly?'' Many powerful cultivators hate being spied on. So, Ajax worried whether it was okay for him to stay here. Even though he looked calm, in his heart, he was shaking a little because if the youngdy notices him, then his spirit consciousness would be destroyed with a wave of her hand. ''Ding, Don''t worry. Even though she was once a powerful cultivator. Currently, she is nothing but just a projection of the pre-stored memories of the Crowned Turquoise. ''Ding, Moreover, the system has already covered the host''s presence. So, the host didn''t have anything to worry about and focused on her word. To his question, the system sent a couple of system notifications making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Good.'' Once he understood the reason why he was in this secret space and getting the sense of security, Ajax was fully focused on hearing the words of the youngdy. "You need to help each other and increase your bloodline purity to 100 percent. As long as any one of you achieves that, your consciousness will be sent to my inheritance grounds. There you will find everything you need to make you even more powerful." The youngdy''s gaze became gentle when she looked at the two spirit consciousnesses in front of her. "After you be powerful, I need only one thing from you and it is to create a sect to spread my legacy to those who have the affinity with me. You will know more things when you enter the inheritance ground." After saying those words, the youngdy stopped for a while and looked at the spirit consciousnesses in front of her. "I will try my best to spread the legacy." The dragon''s spirit consciousness was the first one to reply to the youngdy in a respectful tone. ''I will also try my best.'' However, the spirit crane took some time before saying those words. For the spirit crane, whatever she heard from the youngdy, it was too much for her to digest. Moreover, she already has a master and doesn''t know what she has to say. Also, she was just a couple of years old and only became a little intelligent when she swallowed the blood of the Crowned Turquoise Queen. Nevertheless, she felt sad after hearing the youngdy''s past and decided to help her as best as she could. "Good." Once she got the confirmation from both spirit consciousnesses, the youngdy was satisfied as she continued, "Since you both have 80 percent purity of my bloodline, I will help you increase it by ten more percent. As for the remaining 9 percent, you have to find your own ways to increase the bloodline purity." ''Sii'' As soon as she finished her words, two turquoise light beams came from the youngdy''s body and entered into the two spirit consciousness. "When your spirit consciousnesses enter your bodies, my bloodline in your bodies will be automatically increased to 90 percent. Onest thing, I don''t want you two to fight with each other; instead, you have to join forces with one another. Now, you can go back." Just as she finished her words, the youngdy waved her hands and the two spirit consciousnesses in front of her disappeared without a trace. ''Ding, Host, be ready. We are going. ''Aargh'' As for Ajax, he received a system notification and before he could ready himself, he was pulled by some kind of force and disappeared from the Turquoise space. ''Huh?'' The shout from Ajax was so loud that it didn''t escape the ears of the youngdy as she hurriedly looked in Ajax''s direction. ''Th..this is...master. You said you will meet me in 100 hundred years; however, all that is left of me is just a mere consciousness. I amin¡­'' Before she could finish her words, she disappeared along with her throne. However, before she disappeared, there was an excited look on her face as though she sensed a familiar from the distance. ...¡­ In Xacaster province. The most powerful province in the Purple stone world with nearly 100 King realm cultivators. In a normal world, there will be more than 100 king realm cultivators and most of them were present in the Xacaster province. The essence of nature in that province could bepared to a grade 3 elemental paradise and that was the reason there were so many king realm cultivators. As for the peak elite general realm cultivators, there will be more than 10000 of them and regr elite general realm they will be in 100000. General realm and below realm cultivators will be in millions. Because of the pure essence of nature, even without doing anything, the cultivators will reach the general realm without any problem and as long as they put in a little effort, entering the elite general realm is also possible. "Idiots, where are you?" Inside a huge building made up of some valuable crystals, a middle-aged man in his early thirties shouted at the door. "Dragon master, we are here." Soon, dozens of elite general realm cultivators rushed into the room with faces full of anxiousness. "I have an important task for you." ***** Mondray, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 949: House of Dragons

Chapter 949: House of Dragons

"I have an important task for you." After seeing his servants, the middle-aged man called as Dragon master said to them as he continued saying, "Pick 100 best dragonlings who were re-cultivated into humans and prepare them to send to the Zrochester province." "Zrochester province?" Everyone was surprised at their master''s words as they didn''t understand why their master, who was a king realm cultivator, wanted them to enter the Zrochester province, a lowly province in the Purple stone world. Another noticeable thing was all the servants in front of the dragon master were having the head of dragons with tails on their backs; however, the rest of the body was simr to humans. And all of them were very old and emitted a powerful aura that didn''t belong to a regr peak elite general realm cultivator. "Yes, dragon master." Nevertheless, as the servants of the house of dragons, they were to follow their master''s orders without questioning back. "Dragon Master, to pass through the barrier, we need to pay 10 high-level spirit stones for a single dragonling¡­." "You don''t have to worry about the cost. You can go to the old ountant and take 1200 high-level spirit stones which should be enough for your roundtrip" Before one of the oldest servants could finish his words, the dragon master interrupted him and ordered him to take high-level spirit stones from his ountant. That''s right! As long as one pays the required spirit stones, the protector of that province will send the cultivators to another province. As for the protector of the other province, he would not bother with those cultivators who enter into his province by paying their protector some high-level spirit stones because he would get half of what they pay to their protector. However, there would be some conditions though despite paying the required fee to the protectors. First and the most important one, they will not allow anyone to learn the cultivator''sw or King realm cultivators into the Zrochester province because it was set by the world itself from killing the beings of the low-level province by the powerful beings from the powerful province. "Yes, Dragon master. I will take 100 dragonlings along with me andplete the mission." One of the old servants bowed to the middle-aged man before leaving the room. The dragon master didn''t want others to know about the mission of hunting the spirit crane. So, he transmitted all the mission details to one of his loyal servants. Moreover, that old servant also did the same and didn''t reveal about the mission. "You can go and help him with the 100 elite dragonlings." The dragon master ordered the other servants to leave the room. "Yes, Dragon master." Everyone bowed to the middle-aged man and left the room without asking any more questions. If someone from the Zrochester province knew about how much they were spending just to enter their province, they would have been shocked to the core because almost all the cultivators in the Zrochester province have never seen a high-level spirit stone. ''Hmph...does she really think I, the leader of the ''House of dragons'' would acknowledge a little bird as my equal? It is not going to happen.'' After all the dragon servants left the room, the Dragon master scoffed while remembering the words of the Crowned Turquoise Queen. He was none other than the second spirit consciousness that appeared in the Turquoise secret space created by the Crowned Turquoise Queen. Generally, dragons feel they are the most powerful race in the entire universe. So, how could he form an alliance with a spirit crane which was at the lowest food chain of the spirit beasts? ''Moreover, the reason for my secondary bloodline ''Crowned Turquoise Queen'' being at such a high purity was because of devouring the other spirit beasts who swallowed the Turquoise queen''s blood.'' With an evil chuckle, the dragon master continued thinking, ''Since I can get the inheritance of such a powerful cultivator after increasing my secondary bloodline to 100 percent, 1200 pieces of high-level spirit stones are nothing.'' Even though it was rare for the cultivators to have two bloodlines, it was not impossible. Moreover, it is not Zrochester province; instead, it is Xacaster province which had the purest form of the essence of nature. ''When I get the inheritance, my ''House of Dragons'', will be the absolute ruler of the Purple stone world...Haha.'' By the time his thoughts came to an end, the dragon master startedughing as though he had already increased his bloodline percentage to 100. ... In the Turquoise secret realm. ''System, next time you pull me into any secret space, warn me before a minute. So, I can prepare myself.'' As for Ajax, he was heaving panting after his spirit consciousness entered into his body. ''Rattle'' While Ajax was in his thoughts, he heard a low rattle bugle sounding from the mutated spirit crane. "Calm down. The pain is temporary." Ajax guessed the reason why the spirit crane was getting anxious. So, he tried to calm the crane by saying that the pain would be temporary. The pain was because of the sudden increase in the purity of its bloodline. Soon, the spirit crane became normal and looked at Ajax with a grateful look in her eyes. "Hey, I don''t want to waste my time by saying nonsense. So, I will directlye to the point. Your life''s in danger from the second spirit consciousness beside you." Ajax already guessed the reason why he got the mission from the system to protect the spirit crane. So, without wasting any time, he directly informed the spirit crane as he continued saying, "So, if you follow me for a few months, I can protect you." After finishing his words, Ajax looked at the spirit crane to see what she would reply to him; however, Ajax had already guessed what she would say. So, he was thinking about a way to convince her. ''Sorry, human.'' ****** Law162162, thanks for the Grimoire. Zachary_Ross_9246, Niscka and cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 950: Tricking the Spirit Crane

Chapter 950: Tricking the Spirit Crane

''Sorry, Human.'' Without any surprise, the mutated spirit crane gave the reply Ajax was expecting; however, he was still thinking about what he should do to convince the spirit crane to follow me for the next six months. No matter how powerful the spirit crane might be in the future, Ajax was not nning to keep the spirit crane with him forever. He was already satisfied with his own contracted spirit beasts; however, he didn''t want to waste his time following Princess Daphne as it would give others a wrong idea about him. Moreover, if he stayed in the royal pce, he would have a problem in summoning his elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts. ''Wait for a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about something and muttered to himself, ''I hope, it will work.'' "Do you really care about your master?" Soon, Ajax chooses a different approach in persuading the mutated spirit crane in following him. ''I will give my life for her.'' The usual young girl''s voice appeared in Ajax''s head. Even though she was already a peak rank 6 spirit beast, she was unable to speak directly; instead, she could only speak through the voice transmission. "So, if you stay with her, she will be in big trouble that might cost her life." Without wasting any more, Ajax started his n. ''What? It''s impossible. Human, just because you gave me a Primitive stone, it doesn''t mean I will follow you everywhere.'' After hearing Ajax''s words, the spirit crane looked at Ajax for a moment before shouting in his head. The thing is, as long as Princess Daphne lives inside the royal pce, no harm woulde to her. At least that''s what the spirit crane thought. So, she scoffed at Ajax after hearing his words regarding the danger for Princess Daphne. "Okay...I will directlye to the point." Ajax was not disappointed after hearing the spirit crane''s reply because he knew that his contracted spirit beasts might kill if someone asks them to leave their master to follow him or her. Compared to his spirit beasts, the spirit crane in front of him was mild in nature. So, she only said a few words in anger. As for Ajax, he started saying, "Earlier, you met the crowned turquoise queen, right? Along with her, you also met another spirit consciousness who has the same bloodline as you." ''What? How did you know?'' Spirit Crane was shocked with Ajax''s words and hurriedly asked him. ''I aming to that point.'' With a serious look on his continued, ''I don''t know how but I was also pulled into that unique space and maybe I was next to you, the youngdy sitting on the throne gave me a mission to protect you for the next six months.'' Ajax just created a story with everything that happened around him previously and he made it in such a way that the spirit crane started to believe his words as she carefully listened to Ajax. ''I understood now. Sorry for the earlier misunderstanding. I thought you wanted me to be your mount.'' After learning the Ajax was actually tasked by the ''Crowned Turquoise Queen'', she nodded her head and hurriedly apologized to Ajax. "It''s nothing. So, what is your decision?" Ajax asked the spirit crane once again andpared to before, he was a little bit more confident in the spirit crane''s reply. ''Human, can you tell me what kind of danger I am in and how it will affect my master.'' The spirit crane didn''t want toe to a decision without knowing the full details regarding the danger for her and her master. So, she asked Ajax to exin more. ''Looks like it is working.'' Ajax became excited with her reply and nodded his head. Since he was not rejected now, Ajax''s confidence rose even more. "Do you know what race the spirit consciousness beside you in the secret space belong to?" Once again, Ajax started with a question; however, he didn''t wait for the reply from the spirit crane as he continued, "He is a dragon and that too he is an aqua dragon who is known for his arrogance and pride. ording to the Crowned Turquoise Queen, he will devour you to increase his bloodline to 100 percent and if Princess Daphnees in the middle, she will be killed too." "So, the choice is yours to decide. Poor crowned turquoise queen, she was trying to protect you." Ajax put a sad look on his face as he ended his exnation. ''What? Will he kill Princess Daphne? But the royal king will protect her daughter, right?'' Finally, the spirit cranepletely believed Ajax''s story because how would he know all those things if he was not tasked by the crowned turquoise queen? However, what she didn''t understand was how that dragon would kill her and Princess Daphne in the royal pce? "Do you really believe that the royal king will save her daughter if someone offers a valuable item that assists others into entering the king realm?" ''What?'' How could Ajax let her just use the royal king to decline his offer? So, with a serious look on his face, he asked the spirit crane that made the ''Little blue'' to fall into a dilemma. ''Speaking of my master''s father, I never saw him speak to her from my childhood.'' The spirit crane was living with Princess Daphne for a couple of years now and when she heard Ajax''s words, she thought about King Stephen and felt Ajax''s words are true. ''Also, I think, you must have noticed how powerful the spirit consciousness of the aqua dragon was, so, I will leave that decision to you.'' While the spirit crane was still thinking about Ajax''s words, he didn''t want to give more time for the spirit crane to think and as the saying goes ''Hit the iron while it''s still hot'', Ajax added another point that made the spirit crane shiver. ***** Michael_McKelvey, thanks for the LOLLIPOP.

Chapter 951: Tricking Princess Daphne

When the mutated spirit crane was inside the ''Turquoise secret space'', she waspletely suppressed by the spirit consciousness beside her. Even though she didn''t have much knowledge on cultivation and other things because of her age, she was very sure that the spirit consciousness beside her was definitely a King realm expert. So, when she heard Ajax''sst line, the spirit crane could not help but remember the feeling of being suppressed by the dragon right in front of the Crowned Turquoise Queen. ''Human, are you sure it is only six months? And what will happen after six months?'' After thinking for a few more moments, the spirit crane finally gave in; however, she didn''t give a confirmation; instead, she asked a few questions. "After six months, you will be getting the inheritance and you don''t have to worry about that dragon anymore." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face; however, inside his heart, he thought, ''Who knows what will happen after six months. Since the system asked me to protect the spirit crane for six months, then the danger for the spirit crane might go away after that time. So, there is nothing to worry about.'' Ajax convinced himself that it would not be a big problem for the spirit crane after six months. Even if there was any problem, Ajax was very confident in protecting the spirit crane even after the six months because he was very sure that his cultivation would be increased along with his battle prowess. ''Human, I agree toe with you; however, you have to promise me in your summoner heart that you will bring me back to meet my master.'' It didn''t take much time before the spirit crane nodded her head; however, she had a condition. "Promise on my summoner''s heart?" Ajax was surprised to hear those wordsing from the spirit crane. ''Yes, my master said that if a summoner promises on his summoner''s heart and breaks the promise, then he will have a gruesome death.'' Seeing the shocked look on Ajax''s face, the spirit crane replied to Ajax while thinking, ''I still didn''t have the confidence that this human can protect me with hi cultivation; however, since the crowned turquoise queen tasked him regarding my protection, I think, I can only follow him for the next six months.'' Currently, Ajax''s cultivation was only level 2 general realm whereas the spirit crane''s cultivation was peak rank 6. So, it would be difficult for anyone to believe Ajax in protecting them. Nevertheless, the spirit crane felt that she should follow him before the one who tasked him was none other than the Crowned Turquoise queen. "Hm." After hearing the spirit crane''s words, Ajax nodded his head as he replied, "I, Ajax, swear on the summoner''s heart that I will not keep the spirit crane for myself and try my best to send her back to Princess Daphne." There was a slight hesitation in Ajax''s face while he was swearing on his summoner''s heart because he felt the summoner''s heart is only a myth. Moreover, he didn''t have any n to force the spirit crane into forming a contract with him. ''Since he didn''t have any hesitation in sweating upon his summoner''s heart, I think I can trust him.'' However, the spirit crane felt that Ajax didn''t lie to her andpletely believed Ajax. "So, are we good now? Also, while you follow me, I will help you with your bloodline, the sooner your bloodline purity increases to 100 percent, the sooner you will get the inheritance." Ajax replied with a smile on his face and at the same time, he told her that he would even help the spirit crane with her bloodline. ''Thank you.'' Hearing his words, the spirit crane became excited because she was hoping to get more primitive stones from Ajax. So, she could increase her bloodline purity. "No problem." Ajax shook his head as he finallypleted one of the two tasks. ''Human, how are you going to convince my master? Are you going to tell the truth?'' While Ajax was nning on how to convince Princess Daphne, the spirit crane asked him the same time, "You don''t have to worry about it. Didn''t I convince you just now? I will convince her just like that." Ajax revealed a confident smile on his face as he replied to the spirit crane; however after he replied, he felt like he should have not said those words. ''Did I just reveal what I said was non-sense?'' Ajax slowly looked at the spirit crane and seeing that she didn''t get any doubt, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief. "Little blue? What happened to you?" Soon, Ajax heard the familiar voice of Princess Daphne and looked at her. Princess Daphne was walking out of the Sacred Pool and ced a talisman on herself to dry out her clothes before rushing towards the mutated spirit crane. "She evolved into a Crowned Turquoise spirit crane. So, you don''t have to worry about her." Looking at the worried Princess Daphne, Ajax shook his head and exined about the spirit crane''s evolution. "Really? Congrats, little blue on your achievement. Moreover, your cultivation also increased to peak rank 6. You are more powerful than me now." Princess Daphne was so excited with the evolution and breakthroughs of the spirit crane and said many things in a single go. ''Little blue, since you want toe with me, just do what I say.'' While Princess Daphne and the spirit crane were talking, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to the spirit crane and soon exined his n. ''Okay, human.'' Since she would be a problem to her master because of the Crowned Turquoise Queen''s inheritance, she decided to follow Ajax''s n. ''Good. Now, let''s start our n.'' Even though he felt sad for Princess Daphne, Ajax can''t leave out the mission. So, he asked the spirit crane to start the n. **** Zachary_Ross_9246, and cageraymortal, thanks for the BALLOON. ***** Vote more powerstones and get more chapters. Chapter 952: Physician Ajax

Chapter 952: Physician Ajax

''Putong'' As soon as Ajax gave the signal to the spirit crane, it fell to the ground all of a sudden. "What happened to you, little blue?" Seeing that, Princess Daphne, who was vey excited until now became anxious and hurriedly checked on the spirit crane. However, the spiriti crane didn''t give any reply as she silently thought in her head, ''Sorry, master. I can''t take the risk when it involves you.'' When the spirit crane saw how anxious Princess Daphne was, her heart ache; however, she controlled her emotions and remained unconsciusness. "Come out, check on little blue." Seeing that there was no response from her contracted spirit beast, Princess Daphness hurriedly summoned three of her elemental spirits. Among the five of her elemental spirits, three of them have skills rted to healing. So, she asked them to heal the spirit beasts. "Yes, summoning master." Nodding their head, the three elemental spirits checked on the spirit crane for a few moments. "How is it? Did you find anything?" Just as they stopped checking on the spirit crane, Princess Daphne asked her elemental spirits. "Sorry, summoning master. I am unable to find anything wrong with her body. Maybe, it is rted to her soul." One of the female elemental spirits replied to Princess Daphne with a sad look on her face. "We feel the same, summoning master." Simrly, the two other elemental spirits replied the same, making Princess Daphne anxious. ''What should I do?'' Princess Daphne clutched her head and started thinking about what she had to do to help the spirit crane be normal again. ''Sigh.'' Seeing Princess Daphne ini her current condition, Ajax could not help but sigh while thinking, ''I didn''t think she cared so much about the spirit crane.'' Generally, the younger generation from the greater families, sect and the royal family would? care less about the contracted spirit beasts or elemental spirits. In their view, except for their lives along with their family members'' lives, other beings'' lives are worthless. So, Ajax was surprised to see how much Princess Daphne was crying just for a contracted spirit beast despite being from the first family of the Zrochester province. "Princess Daphne, if you don''t mind I will check on your contracted spirit beast." ording to Ajax''s n, he should wait for some more time; however, he didn''t want Princess Daphne to cry more. So, he modified his n a little before cing his hand on her shoulder. "Please try something, Ajax." When she heard Ajax''s words, for some reason Princess Daphne felt hopeful again and asked him to do something. ''Since the summoner king himself gave high praise for Ajax, I hope he will do something.'' Before Ajax could give a reply, she remembered the words of the summoner king from the inheritance world. Morevever, Ajax was ranked first in the ''Champion''s contest'' despite having a very low cultivationpared to others. So, she really felt Ajax would help her with the little blue''s condition. "I will try my best." Ajax nodded his head without a reassuring look on his face before checking on the mutated spirit crane. "Huh? Th..this is..." After taking a look at various body parts of the spirit crane, Ajax revealed a shocked look on his face and stammered. "What happened, Ajax?" With an anxious look on her face, Princess Daphne asked Ajax hurriedly when she saw Ajax stammer with a shocked look on his face. "There? is nothing to worry about." Soon, Ajax controlled his shocked look and stopped stammering before replying to Princess Daphne. "Huh? If there is nothing to worry about, then why did little blue be unconscious all of a sudden?" Princess Daphn thought Ajax was saying those words just to make her calm. So, she hurriedly asked Ajax about the spirit crane''s condition. "Before exining it to you, let me help your contracted spirit beast wake up from its sleep." Ajax didn''t epin the spirit crane''s condition to Ajax; instead, he turned back to look at the spirit crane lying on the ground and took out one of the pills he refined in the five elemental world before tossing into the spirit crane''s mouth. ''I hope the pill Ajax gave works.'' As for Princess Daphne, she didn''t question Ajax anymoroe; instead, she allowed him to do what he was doing with the spirit crane. Moreover, she didn''t even bother to ask about the pill Ajax gave to the spirit crane.. Right now, for her, waking up the spirit crane is more important. ''Swoosh'' ''Tap'' ''Swoosh'' ''Tap'' ''Huh? What is he doing?'' Soon, Princess Daphne noticed that Ajax was moving his hands at an incredible speed and lightly tapped on various joins of the spirit crane and wondered what he was doing. Nevertheless, she continued to watch Ajax and hoped for a miracle. ''Sii'' After a few moments, princess Daphne was shocked to see that the spirit crane woke up just like it woke up from a sleep. Within no time, her shock turned into excitement as she hurriedly took the spirit crane into her embrace and cried a lot. ''I will let them have their time.'' As for Ajax, he quietly took a couple of steps back and allowed Princess Daphne and the spirit crane to have their own time. ''System, how many minutes are left before the Sacred Pool closes?'' He asked the system about the time left for the Sacred Pool. ''Ding, There are still 10 minutes left before the beings in this secret realm get kicked out. ''That is enough.'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at Princess Daphne and spirit crane who were embracing one another. As for the three water elemental spirits, they were looking at Ajax with aplicated look on their faces as they still didn''t understand how Ajax was able to wake the spirit crane up. "Ajax, can you tell me what happened to little blue earlier? Moreover, why were you so shocked after checking on her?" Soon, Princess Daphne asked Ajax with a serious look on her face. **** Ringers4, David_Hamiltono_1887, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. ***** Vote more and get more chapters.

Chapter 953: Popr Grandpa Lin

''Finally, the moment is here.'' Ajax had already nned everything about what he had to say. So, he was waiting for those words from Princess Daphne. "Your contracted spirit beast has awakened powerful blood and its purity is nearing 100 percent. However, her body is still young and can''t withstand the pressure of her own bloodline. So, she fell unconscious." Without wasting any time, Ajax started his exnation in which almost everything is a in white lie except for the bloodline part. ''What?'' Princess Daphne was excited at first; however, when she heard theter words of Ajax, she became anxious and looked at the spirit crane with a helpless look on her face. "So, didn''t you already treat her? Or will she have any problems in the future?" Controlling her emotions, Princess Daphne asked Ajax even when she knew that the spirit crane was still not healedpletely. "Sorry to say that but I am not capable of curing your contracted spirit beast. For now, I just suppressed her blood and I don''t think my treatment will notst more than a day." While saying those words, Ajax put on a sad look on his face. ''What are you saying?'' Princess Daphne''s words didn''te out of her throat as she fell to the ground. "I am sorry." Ajax shook his head before saying, "I think it will be a good thing you inform your father about your contracted spirit beast''s condition. He might find a way to cure her." Ajax didn''t actively say that he would help; instead, he intentionally suggested Princess Daphne ask for help from her father. He was very sure that Princess Daphne would not ask her father for help as it was not a secret that Princess Daphne is a rebellious girl who didn''t listen to her father. However, after finding out the true nature of King Stephen and seeing how caring Princess Daphne was towards those who helped her, Ajax felt there was a reason why she didn''t listen to her father. "My father? He will not help me and if he finds out about the powerful bloodline of Little Blue, it will let his contracted spirit beast devour her. So, I can''t ask him." Princess Daphne looked at Ajax for a moment before rejecting that suggestion because if she asks her father, instead of good, more harm would happen to her little blue. "If you¡­.." "But, I can ask Grandpa Lin. He is more powerful than the father. Moreover, he was the one who gave me the egg from which ''Little blue'' came. So, I think he will help me." Just when Ajax was about to say his final words of his n, Princess Daphne interrupted his words and talked about some Grandpa Lin. ''What the hell? This is not how it should go. Where the hell did this Grandpa Line from?'' After hearing her words, Ajax was cursing Grandpa Lin for messing up his n because, in his original calctions, there was space for King Stephen but not for this so-called Grandpa Lin. "He is someone who took care of me from birth. Moreover, he even brought me to the inheritance ground too. I think you have seen him too." Seeing the confused look on her Ajax''s face, Princess Daphne informed him about Grandpa Lin. ''That old man?'' Finally, Ajax remembered a thin old man with a long white beard and thought, ''Why is he still alive? Why can''t he just die?'' ... A few moments ago, In one of the rooms of the royal pce. ''I think it''s about time little Daphne came out of the Sacred Pool. I wonder how much she progressed in her cultivation.'' Grandpa Lin was sitting on his huge bed in a crossed-legged position and opened his eyes all of a sudden before thinking about Princess Daphne. After checking the time, Grandpa Lin stood up and walked out of his room. ''Achoo'' Just as he walked out of his room, Grandpa Lin sneezed very loudly which made all the servants working in the royal pce jump in fright. ''It looks like someone is thinking about it. I wonder who it is.'' Rubbing his nose with his arm, Grandpa Lin wondered in his head. ''Nevermind. These days, I am bing more and more popr among the young generations. Looking at how powerful I sneezed just now, he must be really praising me a lot. Anyway, I need to stay low-key; otherwise, I might die from sneezing because of my poprity.'' With that thought in his head, Grandpa Lin let out a self-satisfactory chuckle before walking towards the old wall. .... Inside the secret realm. ''If she took the spirit crane to that old man, he might find out that there is nothing wrong with the spirit crane and it will be a problem.'' Ajax became a little anxious when he heard Princess Daphne''s words which made him curse the old man Lin; however, he controlled his emotions before thinking about what he should do right now. ''Let it be, I am directly asking her.'' Ajax didn''t have much time to waste because the moment they were kicked out of the secret realm, he could not trick Princess Daphne anymore. So, he decided to take the risk. "Princess Daphne, I think I can help you in solving your contracted spirit beast''s condition." Soon, he asked princess Daphne and before she could even give him a reply, he continued, "Even though I am not very proficient in healing, I know you could help you. So, if you could entrust me with your spirit beast, I will take care of everything and bring it back to you as soon as possible." In a single go, Ajax said everything he wanted to say, making Princess Daphne raise her brows. "Huh? Who are you talking about?" Princess Daphne didn''t directly reject Ajax''s suggestion; instead, she asked about the person who could save the spirit crane. ***** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the SWORD.

Even though Princess Daphne thought of asking her Grandpa Lin for help, deep down she knew that he was not proficient in healing techniques. So, when she heard Ajax''s words, she asked about the person who could save her ''Little Blue''. "He is none other than Master Elek." Since there was not much time before the secret realm kicked them out, Ajax hurriedly replied to Princess Daphne. "Master Elek? Do you mean one of the vagrant cultivators, The soul handler?" Princess Daphne asked Ajax with an expectant look in her eyes. "Yes, he was proficient in soul techniques and in the past, I even saw him treat a spirit beast which was suffering from the same condition as your ''Little Blue''. So, what do you say?" Ajax was hoping she would not ask any more questions and she would just give him permission to the spirit crane with him. "Since you have such a high regard for Master Elek, then let''s go to them and ask for his help." Princess Daphne didn''t waste any time agreeing to Ajax''s suggestion and said they should go as soon as possible. "..." Ajax became speechless when he heard Princess Daphne''s words. "Th..this...I am sorry to say this but Master Elek is a short-tempered person and he didn''t like others entering into his secret realm. So, If you trust me, you can give me your ''Little blue'', I will take care of it and I promise you to bring it back as soon as the mission ispleted." Finally, Ajax used the trump card he had been waiting to use for a while now and at the same time, he silently thought, ''I hope, Master Elek didn''t mind me calling me a short-tempered person.'' ''Mission?'' Princess Daphne raised her brows as she felt there was something wrong with Ajax''s words. "Yeah...the mission is healing the ''Little Blue''." Ajax anxiously covered his earlier usage of the word ''Mission''. "Thank you, Ajax. In the future, I will definitely help you? if you need anything." Princess Daphne bowed a little and thanked Ajax and before Ajax could say anything, she turned to the mutated spirit crane and said, "While you are with me, don''t make any troubles, okay?" Princess Daphne lightly caressed the spirit crane while holding back her tears when she said those words. "I will, master." Spirit crane nodded her head as tears starteding out of her eyes. "Here. Since she is not your contracted spirit beast, you can''t store her in your spirit consciousness. This thing will help you." Soon, Princess Daphne turned her head back and threw a small circr token with many spirit beasts'' symbols on it. ''Huh?'' Ajax looked at the token with a confused look on his face; however, soon the details regarding the token appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Item name:- Beast Storage Token. Grade :- Special. Use:- It can be used to store the spirit beasts without forming a contract with them. ''Nice item.'' Ajax nodded his head at the information of the token before saying to Princess Daphne, "Thanks for the beast storage token." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax injected his essence of nature to activate the token before storing the mutated spirit crane into the storage token. "Ajax, please take care of it." Just after Ajax stored the spirit crane into the token, Princess Daphne could not help but cry as she asked Ajax to take care of the spirit crane. "Of course, I will." ''Swoosh'' Ajax nodded his head and replied; however, at the same time, Ajax and Princess Daphne disappeared from the secret realm. ¡­.. Outside the secret realm. ''What is taking them so long?'' ''Did something happen to her?'' . . Outside the secret realm, the old man Lin was anxiously walking from one end to another while thinking about Princess Daphne. "Guardian Lin, you don''t have to worry about her. She will be fine." From the distance, King Stephen was walking towards the old man Lin along with his old minister. "Your majesty." Seeing the appearance of King Stephen, the old man Lin paused in his steps and bowed a little before greeting him. Even though the old man Lin bowed and greeted King Stephen, itcked respect, making King Stephen clench his fists in anger. "They wille out any moment now." Nevertheless, King Stephen knew that the royal family needed someone like Old man Lin. So, he put a casual smile on his face and replied to the old man Lin. ''Once, my cultivator''sw increases to level 8, I will force him to be a royal shadow.'' However, deep inside his heart, King Stephen was having other ns for the Old man Lin. ''Swoosh'' Just as the Old man Lin was about to reply, both Ajax and Princess Daphne appeared in front of the old wall. "Little girl, you are back." After seeing Princess Daphne, Old man Lin didn''t bother with King Stephen anymore; instead, he walked towards Princess Daphne. "Grandpa Lin." Princess Daphne hurriedly cleaned her face with a handkerchief because her face waspletely filled with tears. ''Huh? Why is he having the same cultivation?'' As for King Stephen, he didn''t bother to nce at his daughter; instead, he checked Ajax''s cultivation and he was shocked to see that there was no change in Ajax''s cultivation even after staying in the Sacred Pool for seven days. ''What the hell? If he didn''t cultivate in the Sacred Pool, then what the hell did he do for thest seven days?'' ''Should I still execute my n? But his cultivation is very low.'' King Stephen was having many ns for Ajax. So, when he saw that there was no change in Ajax''s cultivation, he was greatly disappointed. ''But his battle prowess is top-notch even better than those disciples from the three sects.'' Stephen King looked at Ajax and then looked at Princess Daphne beforeing to a conclusion. ***** Niscka, cageraymortal, and Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOONS. **** Vote vote vote. Chapter 955: Rejecting the Kings offer

Chapter 955: Rejecting the King''s offer

Initially, King Stephen was expecting one of the disciples from the top secrets to win the Champion''s contest; however, who would have thought that the entire top ranking would be dominated by the disciples of the vagrant cultivators. As for the first position, it was upied by Ajax, a squad member of the Hazegroove mercenary squad. If any of the disciples were to get the first rank in the contest, King Stephen wanted him to marry Princess Daphne and join the royal family. Even though he could betroth Princess Daphne to Ajax, there was not much information on Ajax. ''If only I gained much information on Ajax, I would have directly made him my sessor by giving the royal family to him.'' Looking at Ajax, King Stephen muttered to himself. ''Also, what a waste of time to send him into the Sacred Pool. There was no change in his cultivation even after staying in the Sacred Pool.'' King? Stephen shook his head before asking his master, ''Master, what should I do now?'' ''Idiot. He is not as simple as he looks. Even I am unable to see through him. Maybe, you can use your useless daughter to pull him into our family.'' However, his master''s words made King Stephen raise his brows. ''That''s right! How could his cultivation remain the same even after staying in the Sacred Pool for an entire week? Even a rank 1 spirit beast will reach rank 4 or even rank 5, so, there is really something wrong with him.'' After pondering his master''s words, King Stephen came to a sudden revtion making him feel Ajax was somewhat special. With that thought in his mind, King Stephen walked towards Ajax. As for Ajax, Princess Daphne introduced him to the Old man Lin. "Ajax, are you willing to join the Royal family?" Without wasting any time, King Stephen asked Ajax with a serious look on his face. "Your majesty..." "Before you give your answer, I will say another thing. If you join the royal family, I will allow you to marry my daughter Daphne since she has taken quite a liking to you aftering out of? the inheritance ground." Before Ajax could finish his words, King Stephen interrupted Ajax as he said something that gave Ajax quite a surprise. Even though King Stephen didn''t have a close rtionship with his daughter, he always kept an eye on her and he guessed Princess Daphne might have developed feelings for Ajax. ''Why is he asking me to join his family? Did he find out about the system? No, looks like my cultivation might be the reason.'' Ajax looked at King Stephen for a moment before looking at Princess Daphne whose facepletely turned into bright red. ''What will he say? Will he agree? I don''t want him to agree for the sake? of joining the royal family.'' ''It will make me the bargaining tool I imagined.'' ''But why do I want him to agree to my father''s suggestion at the same time?'' As for Princess Daphne, her head waspletely in a mess as many thoughts shed in her head. "Your majesty, what are you doing? Didn''t you promise me that you will not force Princess Daphne into a forced marriage?" At the side, the Old man Lin became very angry as he shouted at King Stephen. "Guardian Lin, please don''te between me and my daughter. I will marry her off to anyone I want." King Stephen could not take the impudence of the old man Lin anymore. So, his reply sounded a little angry. "Ajax, I am still waiting for your reply." After replying to the old man Lin, King Stephen urged Ajax to give him a reply for his earlier offer. "Sorry to say this, your majesty, but I don''t have any ns to join the royal family." There was not a single bit of hesitation while giving his answer to King Stephen as he continued, "Moreover, Princess Daphne is not a tool that could give traded to others for your own purpose. I hope you let her choose the man she wants." After finishing his words, Ajax looked at Princess Daphne and revealed a slight smile before transmitting his words, ''I will take care of Little Blue. You don''t have to worry about it, Princess Daphne.'' "Okay then. I will be leaving now as I have other things to do." He reassured Princess Daphne and said his goodbyes to everyone before walking out of the royal pce. ''What did he say just now? Did he reject my offer? Damn it...this is the first time after I became the king that someone rejected my offer.'' King Stephen was very furious when he heard Ajax''s reply; however, he was warned by his master, ''I am sensing six powerful cultivators watching you. I think they are Vagrant cultivators. So, it''s better for you to don''t try anything reckless. I am not healed properly yet.'' ''What? Vagrant cultivators? All of them? Looks like Ajax is very important to them since all the vagrant cultivators came to protect him.'' All of a sudden, King Stephen revealed a slight smile as though he found out something interesting, ''I need to make Ajax join the royal family at any cost.'' If Levi was her, King Stephen would have not thought much because Levi was the disciple of one of the Vagrant cultivators. However, even after Levi left the secret realm, why was everyone still watching the royal pce? Of course, it was for Ajax. So, King Stephen wanted to make Ajax join his royal family. ''Once he joins the royal family, I have many ways to control him and uncover all his secrets.'' When he thought about it, King Stephen could not help but chuckle and remembering that he was not alone, he controlled his emotions. "As expected of my useless daughter. You can''t even help me with one thing." King Stephen scoffed at Princess Daphne before walking out from that ce. ***** Niscka, cageraymortal, and Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOONS. ***** Vote for more chapters. Chapter 956: Grandpa Lins thoughts

Chapter 956: Grandpa Lin''s thoughts

Grandpa Lin and Princess Daphne were the only ones who were still standing in their ces without moving. Princess Daphne''s face was gloomy when she heard her father''s words as she clenched her fists. "Little girl, you already know that your father is like that. So, don''t take his words to heart." Old man Lin shook his head as he tried to console Princess Daphne. "I know." As for Princess Daphne, she nodded her head as she looked in the direction Ajax left withplex emotions. Princess Daphne didn''t know whether she should be happy that Ajax rejected her father''s offer or it should be said that Ajax didn''t hesitate to reject marrying her. ''Sigh...what am I even thinking, we didn''t even know each other very much. So, how could he ept me?'' Princess Daphne shook her head and revealed a bright smile on her face before saying to Old man Lin, ''Grandpa Lin, I learned a cultivator''sw.'' She didn''t want her father to know about it. So, she silently transmitted her voice to the old man beside her. ''What?'' Old man Lin was shocked as he looked at Princess Daphne as though she was some kind of monster; however, he controlled his emotions before saying, ''Even though you learned a cultivator''sw, you are still very far from reaching the King realm. So, cultivate diligently and as I promised to you, I will inform the people from that ce about you. Meanwhile, try to increase the level of your cultivator''sw.'' ''I will, Grandpa Lin.'' Princess Daphne nodded at her and left for her room. ''I still don''t understand why that bastard hates her so much?'' Looking at the disappeared silhouette of Princess Daphne, the old man shook his head. ''As for this kid, I like him for openly rejecting that bastard''s offer.'' Next, he thought about Ajax and approved his behaviour as he continued, ''Looks like I will rmend him to that ce. I hope, in the future, both Princess Daphne and Ajax develop feelings for one another.'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his thinking, the old man left for his room as he had things of his own to do. ... Outside the royal pce. ''I hope he didn''t send anyone after me to kill me. If he did that, instead of Ajax, the royal family would be the first one to get destroyed.'' With a cold smile on his face, Ajax kept an eye on his surroundings because he felt that King Stephen might send someone after him. ''Anyway, I need to get out of this royal city and im theplete ownership of my dimensional crevice.'' As soon as he thought about his dimensional crevice, Ajax ran in a specific direction. After an hour, After running for an hour, Ajax came to a location where there was no one. So, he stopped to take a break. ''Looks like my body became a little stronger just from soaking in the Sacred Pool.'' Even though it was very small, Ajax was able to notice it. Moreover, since his body became stronger without doing anything, he was satisfied with it. ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax was sitting, he heard some noise that made him frown. ''System, is there anyone nearby?'' Ajax used his spirit consciousness to sense; however, he was unable to sense anyone. So, he asked the system whether it sensed anyone. ''Ding, Currently, the host is followed by six peak elite general realm cultivators. ''What? Only six?'' Ajax was surprised with the system''s reply and stretched his body a little before saying, "Are you going toe out or should I make youe out of your hiding ce." Actually, Ajax thought he would be followed by more than a dozen men; however, he became a little disappointed when he heard there were only six men. ''However, since they were able to hide their cover from my senses, I have to be careful.'' After calling them out, Ajax decided to summon all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Sigh...how did you find out we are following you, Ajax?" "It''s all because of Elek. If not for him, we could have secretly protected Ajax." "Stop ming me. What''s the point in protecting secretly when he already knew about us?" Someone med Master Elek; however, Master Elek denied it. "Oh. It''s you, master?" Ajax politely bowed to the six vagrant cultivators who were secretly protecting him from the moment Ajax left the royal pce. "Thanks for everything you did so far. You can go back to your things." Soon, Ajax thanked them and asked them to go back to their ces. "Ajax, it is not safe for you to travel alone." "Yes, Ajax. It is better for you if someone travels with you along the way because the royal family might try to kill you." ''Sigh'' Ajax didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry after hearing their words; instead, he just sighed before saying, "Thanks for your concern but my master has given me an important task to do in the cursed wilderness and I have toplete it on my own. So, please don''t follow me; otherwise, my master will be angry." Since he could not shake them off with his words alone, he had to use his master''s name to keep them away from him. ''Okay.'' Everyone nodded their heads in a low voice and didn''t say anything more to Ajax. The reason they were following? Ajax was to protect him so that they could gain the favour of a powerful master; however, when they heard that the powerful master would be angry, no one dared to say anything. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, he didn''t even bother to look back before rushing in the direction of the Cursed Wilderness. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax remembered something and stopped in his tracks before walking towards the vagrant cultivators with an expectant look on his face. **** No gifts. ***** Vote vote vote. Chapter 957: Guild Masters unusual behaviour

Chapter 957: Guild Master''s unusual behaviour

"Master Elek, if you don''t mind, I want to enter your secret realm in the future for some time." Ajax walked towards Master Elek and asked Elek without any hesitation. "Of course. You can enter anytime you want." Why would Master Elek not allow Ajax into his secret realm? The more he helped Ajax, the greater the reward will be in the future. So, he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face as he asked Ajax, "Is it because of Astral Energy?" Even before Ajax could state his reason to enter the ''Astral Heart'' secret realm, Master Elek already guessed it. Since he already had enough Sacred Energy, all he needed was Astral Energy. Even though he could get Astral Energy from the Astral Moss Branch, he had to wait 10 days to get a single unit of Astral Energy. So, he wanted another source of Astral Energy to reduce the time taken for him to be Sacred Astral Healer. "Yes, Master Elek. Can I know how much time it will take for the Astral Mountain to absorb the Astral Energy?" Actually, it''s been only a couple of weeks since everyone entered the Astral Heart secret realm to absorb the Astral Energy and almost sucked everything from the Astral Mountain. So, Ajax wanted to wait until the Astral Mountain was filled with Astral Energy and then, he would enter the secret realm to absorb the required amount of Astral Energy. "It will take around a decade for the Astral Mountain to be filled with Astral Energy." With a proud look on his face, Master Elek replied to Ajax. Previously, he had to leave the Astral mountain for 9 to 10 years without cultivating it for the sake of his future disciples and that was the reason the Astral Mountain was brimming with Astral Energy when Ajax went to the secret realmst time. Moreover, in Master Elek''s view, 10 years is a time worth waiting for the mountain full of Astral Energy. ''What?'' Even though Master Elek had a proud look, it was not a good thing for Ajax. For him, a decade is too long to wait. "What happened, Ajax? Is something wrong?" Master Elek thought Ajax would be ted with his reply; however, when he saw the shock on Ajax''s face, he felt something wasn''t right and asked Ajax about it. "Master Elek, my master asked me to collect Astral Energy for some reason. So, I am searching for it and the time limit my master has given me was only a year. So, I can''t wait for 10 years for Astral Energy." Soon, he used his master name once again because he didn''t know what to say if Master Elek asked why he needed Astral Energy. ''I simply can''t say that I need Astral Energy to merge it with Sacred Energy so that I could gain Sacred Astral Energy to be a Sacred Astral Healer, right?'' Ajax thought to himself like that and waited for Master Elek to say something in reply. As a cultivator who was using Astral Energy for his cultivator for many decades now, how could Master Elek didn''t have other ways to gather Astral Energy? So, Ajax was waiting for Master Elek to say one or two ces where he could get the Astral Energy. ''Damn it. I thought I could help him and gain the favour of the powerful master; however, there goes my¡­.. Wait a second.'' When he heard Ajax''s words, Master Elek cursed himself at his bad luck because he thought he could gain favour from Ajax''s imaginary master. However, amidst his cursing, Master Elek thought of something; however, he hesitated a little as he looked at the guild master. "Are you thinking of him?" When he saw the Master Elek''s gaze, the guild master raised his brows and asked him. Not only the guild master but the remaining vagrant cultivators also raised their brows because they knew what the guild master said and what Master Elek was implying. "If you don''t want to, let''s just forget it." Looking at everyone, Master Elek shook his head. "Let it be. It''s been so long and I can forgive him." The Guild master gritted his teeth before saying those words as he continued, ''however, I am not going to meet him. You have to convince him to get what you want.'' As soon as he finished his words, the guild master disappeared from his ce without a trace. "Thank you, Rae." Master Elek thanked the guild master as he turned to look at Ajax with a slight smile on his face before saying, "Meet me tomorrow evening in the mercenary guild. Don''t bete; otherwise, it will be your loss." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Master Elek and the remaining vagrant cultivators disappeared from their ces. ''What?'' ''Why did the Guild master be gloomy when Master Elek looked at him earlier.'' ''Also, who did the Guild master forgive and why was he not willing to meet the person whom he forgave.'' ''First of all, who the hell is that person and what crime did hemit?'' With the earlier conversation between Master Elek and the guild master, Ajax''s questions in his head increased by another ton. ''If my questions continue to increase, my head might explode.'' Ajax bitterly smiled as he thought to himself as he continued, ''Anyway, after tomorrow, I hope those questions will disappear from my head.'' Unlike his previous questions which he had to wait for a long time, these questions that formed in his head today would be cleared as long as he followed Master Elek tomorrow. So, he felt a little better thinking about it. ''Anyway, it is finally time for me to enter my dimensional crevice to be a full owner of it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax rushed towards the dimension crevice with a face full of excitement. ***** Niscka, cageraymortal, and Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON x 2. ***** Vote vote vote.

Chapter 958: Absolute Defence

''Huf huf'' ''Finally, I am here.'' Ajax ran for hundreds of kilometers within a few hours as he reached the ce where his dimensional crevice was situated. "Valen, why are you not pulling me in?" Ajax checked his surroundings first and then shouted into the thin air. ''Swoosh'' Tannas Valen was the name of the dimensional crevice''s spirit and as soon as Ajax shouted, he disappeared from his ce without a trace. "Master, I am here." After pulling Ajax into the dimensional crevice, the spirit bowed to Ajax as he greeted him. "Good. I want to initiate the main trial to gain theplete ownership of the dimensional crevice." Without wasting any time, Ajax directly stated the purpose of his visit. "I see. Just wait for a second, master. I wille back." Valen was not surprised at Ajax''s words because he could sense Ajax''s was much more powerful than thest time he entered the dimensional crevice. So, he disappeared from his ce for a couple of seconds before reappearing in front of Ajax with a purple-coloured ring in his hands. "Master, before I exin about the final trial, are you sure about iming theplete ownership of the dimensional crevice and the troubles that wille along with it?" The spirit didn''t give the purple-coloured ring to Ajax immediately; instead, he asked whether Ajax was sure about it. The spirit had already exined that the previous owner of the dimensional crevice was hunted down by someone for the sake of this dimensional crevice. So, if he bes the owner of this dimensional crevice, then all those cultivators will hunt him down too. So, as the spirit of the dimensional crevice, it was his duty to remind Ajax, who wanted to be theplete owner of the dimensional crevice. "I am sure." Ajax didn''t even flinch a little because he knew how rare it was to find a dimensional crevice much less a very special one that was sought by many. So, without any hesitation, Ajax nodded his head. "Let the ring absorb your blood." Tannas Valen nodded his head as he gave the purple-coloured ring to Ajax while saying what he had to do. ''Hm'' Ajax didn''t ask any questions as he followed what the spirit had said and dropped a few blood drops. At the same time, he checked the information about the ring. ''Ding, Item name:- Trial management ring. Effect:- An item that is used to store trials in it and as long as the trial in the ring ispleted, the cultivator whopleted it will get the listed rewards. More information:- A special item that is very hard to find even in the greater world. ''Oh.'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised to see the information about the ring; however, before he could even think about anything, he heard the dimensional crevice spirit''s word. "I hope you willplete this mission, Master Ajax." ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, a sharp pain appeared in his head before he disappeared from his ce. ''He is waiting for a good sessor for all this time to pass his knowledge to him.'' ''As long as hepletes the trial, the previous master''s soul that was trapped inside the ring will disappear and allow him to rest in peace.'' After Ajax disappeared from his ce, the spirit, Tannas Valen muttered to himself before disappearing from his ce. ...¡­. In the depths of the Cursed Wilderness, "Hector, how long will it take you to reach level 10 elite general realm?" A young man in brown coloured robes asked another young man in azure robes. They were none other than Hector and Damon. Aftering back from the Champion''s contest, Elder Boron made them cultivate even harder and forced them to cultivate without any rest. Moreover, they got new robes that specified their elemental affinity. Since Hector was a wind elemental summoner, he was given azure coloured robes whereas Damon got the brown coloured robes. Currently, both of them are having a friendly spar without using any of their elemental spirits. ''Kick'' "Why do you care? No matter how long it takes, I will be faster than you." With a powerful, Hector scoffed at Damon. ''Pak'' Even though the kick was powerful, Damon was known for his defence. So, he was able to stop the kick with his single hand as he replied, "Really? I doubt that?" After saying that, Damon jumped backwards andnded on the ground as he revealed a slight smile on his face. "Why?" Hector felt something was not right when he saw the smile on Damon''s face and asked him while preparing his fastest attack. "Haha" Damon didn''t give any reply; instead, heughed out loud. "Elder Boron said that one should not be proud and over-confident to let his guard down." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Hector was like a wind appeared in front of Damon within a split second. "When did I let my guard down?" "Absolute defence." While maintaining the same smile on his face, Damon shouted two words as loudly as possible with great excitement. ''Dhoosm'' Just when Hector''s punch was about tond on Damon''s face, a thin barrier appeared out of nowhere as it sted Hector into a distant tree. ''What...the...hell?'' Hector groaned in his pain as he forced himself to stand and tried his best to shout at Damon. ''Haha'' Seeing that, Damonughed with an evil look on his face as he slowly started exining, "Oh Hector, not only I became a level 10 elite general real cultivator but I was lucky to awaken a cultivator''sw yesterday...Haha." After finishing his exnation, Damon startedughing like a maniac. "What? How is it possible?" Hector was shocked as he looked at Damon with a bitter smile as he thought, ''No wonder, you wanted to have a spar with me.'' "Don''t worry I will catch up."

Since Hector and Damon were friends from childhood, Hector felt happy for Damon; however, he didn''t know it on his face as he asked about Damon''s cultivator''sw. Moreover, Hector also knew that it would not take much time for him to enter the level 10 elite general realm. As for the cultivator''sw, Hector was clueless as it required some luck. ''Anyway, with the help of Elder Boron''s support, it will not be a problem to learn a cultivator''sw.'' While waiting for Damon''s reply, Hector silently thought in his head. Not only Hector but even Damon and Jason feel there was nothing Elder Boron could not do. So, Hector thought of taking Elder Boron''s help if he really can''t learn any cultivator''sw in the future. "My cultivator''sw is called ''Holy Earth'' that increases my passive defence three times even without activating the cultivator''sw. And if I activate it, it will be five times...Haha." Damon exined about his cultivator''sw as he ended his words with a loudugh. "So, that absolute defence is a skill rted to yourw. Not bad." Hector nodded his head at Damon''s cultivator''sw. "That''s right! When I use that skill, my passive defence will be increased to 10 folds." Damon nodded his head as he continued exining, "You might think it is low; however, you have to remember that my cultivator''sw is just at level 1. Just imagine how terrifying it will be once it reaches level 10?" "Okay okay. Stp bragging." Hector could not take Damon''s bragging as he scoffed at Damon to stop bragging and asked, "By the way, it''s been days since Elder Boron and Elder brother Jason went out. Why are they taking so long?" "It''s been exactly seven days." Damon knew that he should not brag about his cultivator''sw as he felt Hector was at his limits. So, he nodded his head and replied with the exact number of days Elder Boron had left. ''Swoosh'' Just as they were about to enter the wooden cottage, two familiar figures headed in their direction. "Elder Bron and Elder Brother Jason." Hector and Damon became excited when they saw who was rushing towards them. Compared to Hector, Damon was way more excited because he wanted to inform Elder Boron about his recent achievements. "Damon, you don''t need to inform me about your achievements. We can hear your bragging kilometers away from here." Before Damon could speak anything, his words were cut off by Elder Boron. "Everyone, Stand side by side and let me assess you first." Even though Elder Boron already assessed them before, he wanted to assess them one more time, before executing his n. "Hector, peak level 9 elite general realm cultivator with six wind elemental spirits." Once the three young men stood stand by stand, Elder Boron started assessing their strength and the number of elemental spirits they contracted. Generally, all the cultivator''s below the King realm could only have three official elemental spirits and the rest of the elemental spirits are unofficial ones. Nevertheless, Ajax''s case was different. He had two additional official slots below the King realmpared to other cultivators. One, he gained from the system''s reward whereas another was by luck when he saved Zen and other elemental spirits by erasing their contracts. So, Hector was lucky to form two unofficial contracts with the elemental spirits. "Damon, early level 10 elite general realm cultivator with four earth elemental spirits. Cultivator''sw ''Holy Earth''." "Jason, mid-level 10 elite general realm cultivator with four life elemental spirits. Cultivator''sw ''Life saver''." Without wasting any time, Elder Boron assessed the other two young men; however, both of them had cultivator''sw which depressed Hector a little. However,pared to them, he had two extra unofficial elemental spirits that made him feel a little better. "You three are good to reach such a cultivation within such a short time." After assessing their cultivation and other things, Elder Boron slowly started speaking; however, just as the three young men felt a little proud when they heard Elder Boron''s praise, Elder Boron shouted at them. "Do you think you would have reached your current cultivation without my cultivation resources? You nearly depleted my cultivation resources that could be used to nurture two King realm cultivators." "So, I am giving you a mission to refill my cultivation resources." After saying those words, Elder Boron stopped speaking as he looked at Jason and others. "Of course, we willplete your mission, Elder Boron." When they heard Elder Boron''s initial words, they were embarrassed because if not for Elder Boron, they would have died a long time back. However, thest sentence of Elder Boron made them excited as they hurriedly nodded their heads. ''So, looks like it was another one of those missions that Elder Boron gives us.'' Initially, they thought that Elder Boron would make them repay him for whatever he did to them and they were even ready to do it as long as it doesn''t have to take the lives of innocent people. In the end, they just shook their heads as they continued to think, ''These missions will help us morepared to Elder Boron.'' To them, Elder Boron''s cultivation was very high, which was very hard to imagine for them and all the resources he gave them were not at all useful for me. In the end, they concluded that Elder Boron was only trying to help them. "You must be thinking it is another one of those missions where you work together to fight a spirit beast or abyss devils." After staying with them for nearly a month, how could Elder Boron not guess what they were thinking in their heads? So, he shook his head as he seriously said to them, "This time, you all will be entering different small worlds specially chosen by me. You have to be the conqueror of those worlds." "Conquering the worlds?" Jason and others were shocked at Elder Boron''s words. ***** Finally got 100 gifts this month. Let''s see how many more gifts this book will get before the end of this month.

Even though there will be one or two King realm cultivators in smaller worlds, Jason and others were not powerful enough to go against a King realm cultivator with their current cultivation. "That''s right! I will send you to someone the smaller worlds that are controlled by evil beings like abyss devils or bronze demons. All you have to do is kill them and collect all the cultivation resources." "Also, you don''t have to worry about getting killed by the King realm cultivator. I will give you a couple of items that could save your lives three times." In a single breath, Elder Boron exined everything about their missions. "We are ready, Elder Boron." Once they heard about the items that could save their lives, Jason and others became excited and hurriedly nodded their heads. "Good. Once you conquer the world, I wille to you to check your haul." With a slight smile on his face, Elder Boron nodded his head as he threw three space rings at the three young men. And at the same time, he threw three talismans into the air which created three portals to the smaller worlds. "Pick one and enter into it. In this mission, you can use any method you want. There are no limitations or whatsoever." Elder reminded them that they could do anything they wanted, making the three young men halt in their steps as they revealed slight smiles on their faces before jumping into the three different portals. ... ''Where am I?'' While Elder Boron was sending Jason and others on some mission to conquer the smaller worlds, Ajax opened his eyes inpletely unfamiliar surroundings. His surroundings werepletely filled with huge boulders everywhere and there were three suns in the sky that were releasing heat waves that would dehydrate anyone within a few minutes. "If I didn''t temper my body with the fires from Red kitty, I would have not endured such pain." Currently, Ajax was feeling an ufortable feeling in his body because of the heat waves emitted by the three suns and felt that he was still able to stand because of the fire tempering. What''s more, he was unable to absorb the heat energy which made him a little bit frustrated. "You might be here for the trial." All of a sudden, an old man appeared in front of Ajax out of nowhere as he hovered in the mid-air. "Yes." Even though he hadn''t seen the old man before, Ajax felt he might be the previous owner of the dimensional crevice. So, he nodded his head. "Good. So, are you ready for the trial?" The old man nodded his head as he asked Ajax whether he was ready for the trial. "I am always ready." Ajax excitedly nodded his head as he waited for the old man to exin about the trial. "The trial is very simple. All you have to do is drink water from that pool." While pointing his finger at the pool which seemed to be around two kilometers and asked Ajax to drink water from that pool. ''It should be more than two kilometers but I think I can do it; otherwise, the trial will be too easy for me.'' Ajax felt the trial was a little bit difficult because of the heat emitted by the three suns "I will do it." Nodding his head, Ajax started walking towards the distant pool. ''Huh? Interesting...he was not surprised or disappointed with the trial and epted it after thinking for a moment. Looks like he is not like me who used to run after anything that gives me good things without thinking.'' Seeing that, the old man hovering in the mid-air shook his head as he felt nostalgic thinking about his youth. ''This is not enough to go against them. I need to test his endurance and determination too.'' Soon, the old man controlled his emotions and hovered towards Ajax before saying, "Kid, I forgot to tell you. There are many Boulder fire smanders hiding in the ground. So, keep an eye on them. Good luck." As soon as he finished his words, the old man disappeared from his ce without a trace. ''What?'' Ajax frowned when he heard the old man''s words and hurriedly looked at the ground because he heard the rumbling sounding out of the ground. ''Rumble'' The rumbling continued to increase with each passing second and before Ajax could notice, one after another bright red-coloured fire smanders came out of the ground. They were one meter in height and three-meter long as they moved in a zig-zag manner. ''What the hell?'' There were more than 100 boulder fire smanders. Moreover, the heat wavesing from the three suns made him a little dizzy. So, Ajax was unable to keep track of them. ''Damn it..just when I felt everything was going easy and herees the difficulty.'' Even though Ajax said that he felt a little bit excited and shouted, "Since you want to die so bad, let me fulfil your wish." As soon as he said that, he shouted, ''Twilight,e out and say hello to your minions.'' Ajax didn''t want to waste his energy on killing the fire smanders. Moreover, there were more than 1000 fire smanders now and from the looks of it, there was no end to the fire smanders that wereing from the sand. ''Ding, The host is in a special illusion realm. So, he can''t summon any of his elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts. Instead of the appearance of the huge dragon, he received a system notification in reply to his summoning call. ''What the...'' Ajax became furious when he saw the notification; however, before he could finish his sentence, he was swarmed by the fire smanders. ***** Niscka and Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON.

Chapter 961: 1000-Sun Illusion Formation

''Get off of me.'' ''Advanced Spatial des'' Just as Ajax was swarmed by the boulder fire smanders, he was furious as he shouted out his skill name. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax was already annoyed with the crazy heat waves emitted by the three suns and he was unable to summon his contracted spirit beasts or elemental spirits. Along with those two, these boulder fire smanders were rushing towards him and swarmed him as though he was a nice chunk of meat for them. So, without any hesitation, he used his ''area of effect'' skill and killed all the fire smanders on him along with the nearby fire smanders. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' However, what he killed with his earlier attack was less than one percent and the remaining 99 percent of fire smanders were rushing towards him without the fear of death. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Damn it...why didn''t I get any system notifications regarding their death?'' Ajax teleported himself into a ce where there are fewer fire smanders and rushed towards the distant pool while thinking about the system notifications that inform him about his killings. ''Ding, All the boulder fire smanders are just an illusion. So, the host will not get any essence of nature. Soon, he received a system notification that made him raise his brows, ''What? An illusion?'' Earlier, when the fire smander swarmed over him, he felt a great pain that didn''t seem unreal. However, since the system said it is an illusion, then Ajax believed it without a doubt. ''Wait a second. Earlier the system said this is an illusion realm. That means these suns and the heat waves released by them must be an illusion too, right?'' Once this thought came to his head, Ajax stopped in his tracks as he didn''t bother to run anymore; instead, he turned towards the fire smanders rushing towards him with a confident smile. ''Moon.'' Ajax said a single word and in the sky, besides three suns, a moon which is two times the size of the suns appeared. ''I can really create something in the illusion realm.'' Even though he already believed that he could create anything he wanted in an illusion realm, he was still surprised and excited by the huge moon he created in the sky. Actually, Ajax had already known about the illusion realm. ording to Elder Boron, as long as the cultivator who enters it strongly believes in something and thinks it, he could create anything out of his imagination. ''As for you...'' Ajax looked at the fire smanders that were rushing towards him without a break, he revealed a smirk before shouting, ''Azure wind dragon.'' ''Roar'' As soon as he thought of the azure wind dragon from the battle tower, a huge azure-coloured dragon appeared in front of him that looked exactly like the one he saw in the battle tower. That''s right! Once he created the moon in size, Ajax could not control his excitement and decided to create something and thought of the Azure wind dragon. ''Azure beam.'' As for the azure wind dragon, it didn''t wait for Ajax''s orders because it knew for what purpose it was created. So, it directly used its powerful attack on the rushing fire smanders that burnt them into crisp. "You take care of them." Ajax revealed an excited smile as he ordered the huge azure wind dragon in front of him before looking at his trial target. ''Flying sword.'' Once again, Ajax created something out of his imagination and soon a three meters long powerful-looking sword appeared in front of him. ''Swoosh'' ''Let''s go.'' Ajax always wanted to stand on a flying sword to fly and since there was no one in the entire Zrocester province who could create a flying sword, Ajax was unable to get his hands on it. However, his dream from childhood was finally fulfilled because of the illusion realm as he flew on the flying sword towards the distance pool. ''Interesting In the sky, the old man from earlier appeared with an interesting look on his face and thought, ''He was able to think clearly even with the heat waves emitted from my ''Three-Sun formation''. Looks like he had more endurance.'' ''However, to create something like an azure wind dragon out of thin air, he needs to see it at least once. Moreover, he was very urate in his creation.'' The old man was really surprised to see a huge azure wind dragon and felt Ajax was even suitable to be his sessor. ''However, I still need to know his determination before leaving my dimensional crevice and my enemies in his care.'' Nevertheless, ording to him, it was still not enough for him to leave his dimensional crevice in the hands of Ajax. So, he wanted to test Ajax even more. With that thought in his mind, the old man made various signs with his hand. ''1000-sun illusion formation.'' ''10000 illusion beast formation.'' ''Five stage illusion formation.'' ''Loss'' ''Agony'' ''Grieve'' ''Fear'' ''And thest stage, Despair'' The old man continuously muttered to himself as he created many formations in the illusion realm. Since it was his illusion realm and he was fluent in the illusion formations in his prime age, it didn''t take much time for him to create three of his powerful illusion formations. As for the signs he made with his hands, it was just that he got habituated because whatever he created in his illusion realm was not purely out of his imagination; they were his real-life skills. Moreover, he increased their power to a maximum level. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished created all the formations, everything in the illusion realm started changing. There were not three suns in the sky anymore; instead, now, they were 1000 suns much bigger than the first three suns. On the ground, a portal opened as 10000 different types of spirit beasts starteding out of it. ''What the hell?'' ****** Carrie_Webn20, thanks for the SWORD. Law162162, thanks for the RING.

Chapter 962: Five stage illusion formation

''What the hell?'' Ajax was shocked to see 1000 huge suns in the sky which released terrifying heat waves as though they were inpetition with one another. As for the huge moon he created in the sky, it was melted by those 1000 suns and before the remains could reach the ground, they werepletely melted without a trace. ''And where did these spirit beastse from?'' Currently, Ajax waspletely covered in sweat as he looked at the thousands of spirit beasts of various sizes rushing towards him. ''Disappear.'' Since it was all an illusion, Ajax tried his best to make the suns and the rushing spirit beasts disappear; however, there was no reaction from them. ''Damn it...what is happening here?'' Ajax cursed in his heart as he didn''t understand what was happening. ''Full heat resistant pills.'' ''Fire god protection talismans.'' Controlling his emotions, Ajax created a bunch of bright red-coloured pills out of thin air before tossing them into his mouth and at the same time, he attached the red-coloured talismans on his face. Heat resistant pills are just rank 4 pills; however, Ajax increased the power of the pills by using the theoretical knowledge of the rank 5 alchemy which he gained from the summoner''s book. As for the Fire god protection talisman, it was inspired by one of the skills of Raweth which Ajax watched in the Five elemental world. Both types of items help Ajax protect from the heat waves released by the 1000 suns. ''Since the problem regarding the 1000 suns is solved, it is time for the spirit beasts.'' After using the two types of items, Ajax felt a littlefortable as he looked at the iing spirit beasts before shouting, ''Halo, Prohis, Blood, Necros...everyone, appear now.'' Since he couldn''t make them disappear with a thought, he had to create something that would destroy them. Even though it looked like he summoned his elemental spirit, in reality, all the 20 plus elemental spirits were created with his thoughts taking his own elemental spirits as reference. ''Penta, Snow, Raweth¡­.'' Ajax didn''t stop there but created his contracted spirit beasts and soon, Ajax waspletely surrounded by his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. ''This is the first time I have summoned all my summons at once.'' Ajax felt a little excited looking at all his summons which he had summoned for the first time. ''Only if I can summon my real summons, then it will be great.'' However, Ajax shook his head as he shouted, ''everyone, swallow the pills and attach the talismans to your bodies.'' Ajax gavemands to the summons in front of him. ''Swoosh'' Just as he gave themand, pills and talismans appeared in front of the summons. "Now, go." Ajax was confident in the summons he created because all the summons he created has the traits of his summons along with the peak elite general realm cultivation. So, he was not worried about them and focused on the pool. ''Let''s go.'' After that, he flew on the flying sword. ''ording to the old man, I just have to drink water from the pool. So, I will just focus on it.'' The flying sword was so fast and if not for his current situation, he would have enjoyed that ride; however, he was not in the mood. ''Huh?'' Just when he was only a few hundred meters away from the pool, Ajax felt like he lost something important in his life. ''Why am I crying?'' Soon, tears starteding from his eyes as he lost bnce from the flying sword and fell onto a boulder. ''Aargh'' Blood trails starteding out of his head as his face waspletely covered in blood. ''I feel like I lost something important but what is it? Why can''t I stop crying?'' For some unknowns, his tears didn''t stoping from his eyes. ''Stage 1, Loss.'' The old man who was watching everything from the sky muttered to himself. ''From loss, you will start feeling agonized and grieve about something that you didn''t even know'' Looking at Ajax, the old man continued to mutter in his head. ''Aargh'' Just like the old man said, Ajax started feeling agony and grieving about something that he himself didn''t know. Soon, he started groaning in pain as he clutched his head. ''This...is...not...real...I...didn''t...lose...anything.'' Ajax tried to control his emotions as he stood up from the ground while clutching his head. ''Not bad, he can still stand. Looks like he is adapting to the loss, agony and grief much sooner than I thought. Maybe he must have something like that in his past.'' The old man was satisfied with Ajax''s determination and continued thinking, ''It''s time to take it to the next stage, Fear.'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as the old man said those words, all the creatures that Ajax created were instantly killed by the creatures created by the old man''s formation. ''Aargh...what is happening to me?'' Even though Ajax''s focus waspletely on his head, he nced at the fight between his spirit beasts and the old man''s spirit beasts and the pain he felt in his head grew even more. ''Everyone,e back again.'' Gritting his teeth, Ajax tried to create all the creatures he created earlier; however, he was unable to create them. ''What?'' ''Azure wind dragon.'' ''Elegant walker'' ''Master Ren.'' Ajax tried to create many things; however, he was unable to create a single being. Maybe it was due to the pain in his head and heart, it was unable to focus on creating the beings. Soon, some unknown fear started appearing in him that made him shiver for some unknown. ''Kacha'' Within no time, he was surrounded by the spirit beasts created by the old man which were tearing his meat piece by piece. ''I give up this trial.'' **** Ringers4, thanks for the POTION.

# Bonus chapter. ''I give up this trial.'' Even though he didn''t know why he said those words, Ajax said those words. ''Aargh'' ''Puchi'' ''Chomp'' All the spirit beasts were only eating him little by little without killing him, making him say those words; however deep down inside his heart, Ajax felt all his actions were controlled by someone because he truly didn''t mean those words. But, at the same time, he felt that he should just give up instead of enduring the pain. ''The stage 4 ''Fear'' is as fearful as always.'' The old man revealed a slight smile on his face as he thought in his head. ''Anyway, I will let him experience even more pain before appeared in front of him.'' With that thought in his mind, the old man continued to watch Ajax without doing anything. Time continued to pass and within a sh, it''s been more than three hours since Ajax entered into this trial and it''s been more than an hour since he was being eaten by the spirit beasts. However, for some reason, his flesh and skin including his bones will be regenerated. ''What kind of perverse trial is this?'' This was the only thought that appeared in Ajax''s head because he already said that he wanted to give up the trial; however, he was not teleported back or the old man didn''t appear. ''Looks like everything is smooth so far. It is enough for stage four. It''s time for stage five.'' The old man observed Ajax for the past one hours without doing anything and felt so far everything was good with Ajax. If Ajax heard his words, then he would have cursed the old man and his seven generations of the family because Ajax was enduring the pain for the past one hour and the old man was saying everything was smooth so far. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the old man appeared in front of Ajax as he said, "Once you enter this realm, you can''t leave it withoutpleting the trial." The old man didn''t give any time for Ajax as he exined the main rule of the trial. Until now, no one exined to Ajax this rule. So, he was shocked and soon his fear turned into despair. ''Here starts the fifth stage ''Despair''.'' The old man revealed a slight smile on his face as he disappeared from his ce. ''What? Wait...don''t go. Please send me out of here.'' Ajax tried to speak however, for some reason his words didn''te out of his throat. ''What should I do now?'' ''Am I going to die now?'' ''I should not havee here.'' Soon, Ajax''s despair started growing at an incredible rate. ''Wait a second...why am I feeling despair now?'' However, all of a sudden, Ajax felt that another emotion appeared in him out of nowhere. ''Damn it...what is happening to me? Am I cursed by someone? Or struck in an illusion¡­.Illusion?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something; however, the other part of his brain was still in despair and making him give up everything. ''Looks like the previous master was an illusion master.'' Finally, Ajax understood something as he stopped resisting the spirit beasts and the emotions he was feeling inside him. ''First, I felt like I lost something; however, I still don''t have a clue what I lost and before I could even think about it, I was agonized and grieved for nothing.'' After he stopped fighting the spirit beasts and the emotions in him, Ajax was able to think clearly and slowly pondered about his past hour. ''Then the fear which stayed for very long and with the appearance of the old man and his words, made me fall into despair. So, it can only be done by some kind of formation or skill. And since this illusion realm is created by the old man himself, then he must be toying with me.'' Aftering to that conclusion, Ajax clenched his fists. Because what he was experiencing right now was absolute torture. ''From the time I stopped resisting, the pain I am experiencing is decreasing with each passing time.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was excited about one thing and the pain was getting decreased. ''This is the right time.'' ''Teleport.'' As soon as he nned something, Ajax directly used the second effect of the ''Lightning cloud steps'' and teleported from his current ce. ''Thud'' ''What the hell? The moment he appeared 10 meters aways from his original ce, he fell to the ground and when he looked at his legs, he was shocked before cursing the old man who created this trial. ''Teleport.'' Even though his legs were missing, Ajax was unable to feel any pain. So, without wasting any time, he directly used the skill ''Teleport'' once more as he headed in the direction of the pool to drink the water andplete the trial. ''Huh? Looks like he finally figured it out that everything was just an illusion.'' As for the old man, he was watching Ajax from the sky as he revealed a surprised look on his face when he saw Ajax was teleporting towards the pool. ''He was finally able to use his skills even with my ''Five stage emotions formation''.'' What surprised him was Ajax was able to use his skills because if anyone fell into his illusion, they could not use them. ''I already expected him toplete the trial; however, I didn''t expect it to bepleted this soon.'' Soon, the old man revealed a cunning smile on his face, ''As long as breakthrough to the King realm, he could go against them. Even if this kid didn''t want to, they would not let him live in peace. So, my revenge will be finshed by his hands. Finally, I can rest in peace.'' With that thought in his mind, the old man waved his hands and all the spirit beasts on the ground and the suns in the sky disappeared into nothingness without a trace. ***** No gifts Chapter 964: Special Dimensional Crevice

Chapter 964: Special Dimensional Crevice

''Swoosh'' ''Ssh'' Ajax teleported himself continuously until he fell into the pool and without wasting any time, he drank the water from the pool. The reason he didn''t waste any time drinking the water was because he wanted the current trial toe to an end. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the old man appeared above the pool with a slight smile on his face. ''Damn you.'' Ajax was already furious regarding the trial and the old man for creating such a cruel trial and when he saw the smiling face of the old man hovering above the pool, he could not help but curse inside his heart. "Congrattions for sessfullypleting the trial and bing my sessor. From now on you are the owner of the dimensional crevice." The old man already knew Ajax was furious and cursing him in his heart; however, he had to do what he had to do because he didn''t want his sessor to be killed. Moreover, he was able to survive for thousands of years but his sessor was less than 20 years old. So, he wanted to make sure that the young man in the pool had enough endurance, patience that was already tested in the previous trial and determination. ''Phew'' At the same time, Ajax''s body started healing and his amputated legs started regrowing making Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "Hm." Ajax didn''t show any excitement or thanked the old man; instead, he nodded his head with a cold look on his face. ''Sigh'' Seeing that old man sighed as he knew he could not me Ajax for replying like that. "Before my spirit consciousness disappears, I will have some things to say to you. So, listen carefully because my spirit consciousness can''t stay here for much longer." Nevertheless, the old man had to exin some things, so he didn''t even wait for Ajax to reply as he started exining. "Dimensional crevice is always mysterious for everyone and only a few people know about what the dimension crevice can do and how useful can it be for a cultivator." "Most of the cultivators from normal worlds and even cultivators from some of the greater worlds use it to connect various provinces; however, it was just wasting the potential of the dimensional crevice." The old man stopped for a moment as he looked at Ajax to see whether he was absorbing everything he was saying. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised for only a moment before nodding his head. Actually, Ajax already felt the dimensional crevices have other uses and he waited for the old man to continue saying what he wanted to say. "Dimensional crevice, in short, is just like a contracted spirit beast that grows along with the master. So, the more powerful you be, the more useful the dimensional crevice will be; however, you should not connect it to any of the provinces because you can connect it to other worlds." "Really?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised when he heard those words as he excitedly asked the old man. "Yes but you need to be at least a King realm cultivator. Not only can you connect to different worlds, but you will also be having more advantagespared to other King realm cultivators just because of a dimensional crevice." The old man exined everything about the dimensional crevice that Ajax needed to know. "I will follow your advice not to connect it to different provinces." Ajax nodded his head with the same cold look on his face. Even though the old man was entrusting Ajax with his dimensional crevice, Ajax was not showing any gratefulness; instead, he felt he earned it after enduring so much pain in the earlier trial. "So, what about your enemies? Why do they want this dimensional crevice so badly?" Soon, after the exnation about the dimensional crevice, Ajax asked the old man about his enemies. "As the current owner of the dimensional crevice, you have all the right to know about my enemies because they will be your enemies too just because of owning my dimensional crevice." The old man''s face became serious when he said those words as he asked Ajax, "You already know how to upgrade the dimensional crevice, right?" "Yes. To upgrade the dimensional crevice, I have to defeat the owner of the other dimensional crevices and let my dimensional crevice devour their dimensional crevice." Ajax answered it because he already knew about it. "That''s right! Just like how the contracted spirit beasts get new skills whenever they level up, the dimensional crevices would get additional features. Moreover, there are even chances that they might get mutated and be a special dimensional crevice and this dimensional crevice is one of those special dimensional crevices." The old man became nostalgic all of a sudden as he remembered the time his dimensional crevice was mutated. "I already guessed it." Ajax was not surprised because when he entered this dimensional crevice, he felt there was something different from the dimensional crevice he previously entered. So, he nodded his head as he asked the old man, "So, what kind of functions does a dimensional crevice unlocks after upgrading? Moreover, what kind of function did this dimensional crevice unlock that got you killed?" Ajax was more curious about the features of the dimensional crevices and the special dimensional crevice. So, he asked about them. "Even though the reason I died was because of this dimensional crevice, because of it, I was able to live for thousands of years. So, I don''t have any regrets about it." The old man''s words made Ajax confused a little but he didn''t bother asking too many details and nodded his head while watching the old man answer his previous question. "Normal dimensional crevices unlocked features like increase in the ''cultivation speed'', ''ntation quality'', ''Spirit beast''s growth'' or there were even some features that decrease the time required to grow the nts and herbs." The old man''s body started flickering as though it might disappear any time now. ''The special dimensional¡­.'' **** cageraymortal thanks for your gifts. It means a lot. Chapter 965: Tannas Valen

Chapter 965 - Tannas Valen

"The special dimensional crevice, as its name suggests unlocks some special features like ''Clearw'' which helps in increasing the chances of awakening aw, ''Awaken skill'' that helps the beings inside the dimensional crevice to learn a skill from their ancient memories and many more that would make others jealous." "You have to be careful and try your best to keep the features of your dimensional crevice to yourself and if someone finds out, just kill them lest you want to be like me." ?? The old man started exining the features of the special dimensional crevice with excitement; however, he became a little sad as he sighed by the time he came to an end. The old man''s spirit consciousness was flickering; however, it didn''t disappear and exined everything in the flow. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised when he heard about the special features of the dimensional crevice; however, the old man''sst line made him raise his brows as he understood something. "Don''t be surprised." The old man shook his head as he exined, "It is not the dimensional crevice that led me to my demise, it was my kindness. In this world, it is better to be cruel than to be kind to get killed. " "It was my first battle with a fellow dimensional crevice''s owner. I defeated him without much difficulty; however, I was young and naive at that time. So, I let him live and allowed my dimensional crevice to devour his dimensional crevice because he would have done the same if he had won the fight." Soon, the old man exined his past as he continued, "However, who would have thought that my normal dimensional crevice would be mutated after devouring its first-dimensional crevice and became a special one." "I was so excited and forgot about the defeated cultivator and went to celebrate the good news with my family. However, that cultivator spread the news in the entire greater world and made everyone believe that I have a special dimensional crevice. Even though I was able to escape from there, my family was not so lucky." "After hiding and cultivating in secret for many years with the help of my special dimensional crevice, I was able to destroy everyone that came after me but somehow a mysterious group started hunting me down for thousands of years. The more I kill my pursuers, the more cultivators keep oning with increased cultivation until I am killed by them." The old man started bing sadder and sadder with each line he said to Ajax; however, Ajax was listening to them without missing anything. "However, before I die, I used one of the special features to teleport the dimensional crevice to this world which was very far." Finally, a smirk appeared on the old man''s face as he ended his past. "..." After hearing everything, Ajax was having mixed feelings in his head and felt like the old man''s initial story was simr to him. In his case, he only lost his friends from the orphanage; however, the old man lost his entire family. Soon, the cold look disappeared from Ajax''s face and remained silent for a moment before asking, "You still didn''t exin to me about the functions of the dimensional crevice." Ajax just wanted to divert the topic and at the same time, he wanted to know what was the first special feature that the dimensional crevice unlocked that made the entire greater world pursue the old man. Actually, the greater world''s cultivators are already powerful and have enough cultivation resources and as long as they work hard a little bit, reaching the King realm or the Emperor realm is not a big issue. So, Ajax was curious about the first special feature of the dimensional crevice. "You still didn''t ask my name...Kids these are...Sigh" When he heard Ajax''s question, the old man shook his head and sighed. "Okay then. First, tell me your name and then the first special feature of the dimensional crevice." Ajax was speechless at the old man''s words; however, he felt what the old man said was right. It was a basic thing to know as the old man''s sessor for the dimensional crevice. So, Ajax nodded his head. "My name is Tannas Valen and I named the spirit of this special dimensional crevice as Inys whom you have already met." The old man proudly introduced himself as he continued, "I am called by many names and the most famous one is ''Illusion master''. I will leave some illusion techniques for you to try. Even though it is very hard for you to learn, there is no harm in trying. Okay then, my time hase. I will be leaving. Hope you take good care of this dimensional crevice." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the old man named Tannas Valen disappeared from the mid-air without a trace. "What the hell? Don''t go. Come back and tell me the special feature of the dimensional crevice" Ajax shouted at the ce where the old man disappeared; however, the old man had long gone. ''Is this the reason why he asked me to ask him his name?'' Ajax cursed the old man as he thought, ''It looks like he didn''t have the intentions to tell me about the special functions of this dimensional crevice.'' Ajax became frustrated as he clenched his fists in anger. ''Huh? Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought about something that made his anger disappear into thin air and it was, ''I can always be the dimensional crevice''s spirit Inys.'' Once he thought that, Ajax felt a little better. ''Swoosh'' Soon, his body also disappeared from the illusion realm and appeared in the same ce he disappeared from earlier. "Master." As soon as he came out, the dimensional spirit appeared in front of him and respectfully greeted him.

''Swoosh'' At the same time, a golden ray came out of his body and entered cover Inys making Ajax unable to see. ''What is happening to him?'' Ajax frowned for a moment when he saw Inys getting covered in the golden coloured light; however, Ajax stopped worrying because he knew that the golden light was rted to the system. ''Ding, Modifying the half-destroyed dimensional crevice. Soon, Ajax got another system notification and before he could respond, his surroundings wereing covered with golden colour light. ''What the hell is happening to the dimensional crevice now? Is it System?'' Ajax calmed himself after reading the system notification and waited for the system toplete everything it wanted toplete. ''Ding, The dimensional crevice is repaired and restored to level 1. ''Ding, Currently, it has no special features unlocked. Please upgrade the dimensional crevice to be a special dimensional crevice to get special features. Within no time, the golden light covering his surroundings disappeared into thin air before his head was filled with a couple of system notifications. ''Good thing the system repaired everything; however, its level is degraded. Ajax was satisfied with the system''s repairs because all his surroundings were in a half-destroyed state and didn''t look like a ce that anyone would stay. However, now, it was clean and even built a huge building in the center of the dimensional crevice. Nevertheless, it came with a price and it was dimensional crevice''s level degraded back to level 1 which means Ajax had to start with a fresh normal dimensional crevice. ''Another good thing is as long as I upgrade the dimensional crevice once, it will be a special one.'' When he thought about it, Ajax became a little excited and started thinking, ''In Zrochester province, there is only one dimensional crevice that I know of; however, I am very sure it must belong to a powerful cultivator. Probably a King realm cultivator.'' ''Sigh...I need to be at least an elite general realm cultivator to go against someone like him and I am not even sure I will win against a King realm cultivator with that cultivation.'' Ajax sighed thinking about his cultivation and thought, ''Soon, I will be going on the world-destroying mission. Once I start that mission, I need to fully focus on it and stop wasting time on other things.'' When he thought about Ajax could not help but be excited as he clenched his fists. ''However, before that, I have to meet Master Elek and give a conclusion to Astral Energy.'' Ajax didn''t forget about his meeting with Master Elek and decided toplete it as soon as possible before starting the mission. ''Anyway, it''s time to check the dimensional crevice''s stats.'' Even though there were no special features or additional functions to his dimensional crevice, it would have the basic features which Ajax was curious about. As for the spirit of the dimensional crevice, he was still covered in the golden light. So, Ajax didn''t bother with the spirit and thought about the information dimensional crevice in his head. ''Ding, Item name:- Dimensional crevice (Level 1). Item type:- Special Owner:- Ajax Basic functions:- 1) Province connector (Not activated):- It can be connected to the nearby provinces. Note:- It will limit the growth of the dimensional crevice. 2) Dimensional shelter:- The owner can allow ten cultivators who have the Dimensional tokens to enter the dimensional crevice. Note:- 1) The dimensional crevice will automatically produce a specific number each time it is upgraded. 2) However, the owner''s summons can enter and stay in the dimensional crevice without a problem. Rating:- You are lucky to get an item like that. So, upgrade it as soon as possible and enjoy the special features. As soon as he thought about the information, a holographic screen appeared in front of him. ''It is not bad.'' Actually, Ajax felt the two basic functions are already good; however, the system had already warned him not to activate the Province connector just like how Tannas Valen, the previous owner of the dimensional crevice said to him. ''Ten people?'' Next, Ajax''s eyes fell on the second basic function of the dimensional crevice and thought it was a lot. Generally, people rarely talk about their dimensional crevice and unless the owner was very powerful or the dimensional crevice was just a normal one, they would use it to connect the provinces just like the one that Ajax visited for the first time. However, Ajax was not going to tell about his dimensional crevice. Not even his friends lest someone powerful targeted his friends to search their memories. That''s why Edmond always asked Ajax to keep everything a secret, even from his friends. ''So, basically, those two basic functions are not useful for me.'' Ajax shook his head; however, he was not disappointed or frustrated because he was already expecting it. The true reward woulde when he upgraded the dimensional crevice. ''From now on, not only I need to destroy the world but even the dimensional crevices too.'' Ajax bitterlyughed at his own fate; however, deep down he felt excited about both missions. ''So, system, can I move it?'' Since there was no mention of it, Ajax asked the system because the system was the one that repaired everything. So, he asked for it. ''Ding, No. The host either needs to enter the King realm or upgrade the dimensional crevice to level 2 for gaining the ability to move the dimensional crevice. ''So many rules.'' Ajax nodded his head as he thought about something else, ''Also, I still don''t understand how the battles between the owners of the dimensional crevices happen? Can you exin it?'' Since he had to wait until Inys became normal, he asked another question to the system. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP X 2. Chapter 967: Leaving the Dimensional Crevice

Chapter 967: Leaving the Dimensional Crevice

Since he already knew that he had to fight other dimensional crevice''s owners, Ajax still didn''t know how one dimensional crevice was going to consume another dimensional crevice. ''Ding, The host just has to challenge the owners of the other-dimensional crevices and whether they like it or not, they have to fight you and the winner''s dimensional crevice''s spirit automatically gains the core of the loser''s dimensional crevice''s core. ''Hm'' Ajax nodded his head and before he could ask any more questions, the golden light covering the dimensional crevice''s spirit disappeared without a trace. ''What?'' With the disappearance of the golden light, Ajax could see the appearance of Inys and he was shocked. Previously, he had the appearance of an old man; however, now, he had the appearance of a young man around the same age as him. "Master, please give me a name." With a bow, the spirit asked Ajax to give him a name. ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows and asked the spirit, "You already have a name, right?" "Master, I was born just a few seconds back and I don''t have a name." With a confused look on his face, the young man replied to Ajax while rubbing the back of his head. "You were born a few seconds back?" Ajax had a bad feeling about this as he asked, "So, you don''t remember who Tannas Valen is and what are the special functions of this dimensional crevice?" "I don''t know who he is." The young spirit shook his head as he continued answering, "As for the special functions, the Master has to help me increase my level to unlock them. So, even I can''t tell them without upgrading the dimensional crevice." ''Damn it...as I expected.'' Ajax cursed inside his heart because, now, he could not ask the dimensional crevice''s spirit regarding the previous special functions. ''Let it be. It will be even more interesting to find out about the special functions while upgrading the dimensional crevice.'' Ajax silently thought in his head before looking at the young man in front of him. "I will call you Inys." Soon, he decided to keep the same name for the spirit. "Thank you, master. Inys will take care of everything inside the dimensional crevice for Master. Do you have any orders for me, Master?" "For the time being, I have none." Ajax shook his head because, with the current dimensional crevice, Ajax can''t do anything. "Give me 10 dimensional tokens and send me out of the dimensional crevice. I wille back after some time." All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and asked Inys to give him the dimensional crevice. "Here, you go, master." With a thought, Inys summoned 10 golden coloured tokens with numbers from 1 to 10 on them as he gave them to Ajax. ''They look nice.'' Ajax took the dimensional tokens into his hands and felt they looked great before sending them into his dimensional crevice. The reason he took them was that he never knew when they might be useful. Moreover, the least thing Ajax bothered was the space to store. He had space rings, inventory and a huge inner world. "Master, you are the owner of the dimensional crevice. So, you can enter and exit the dimensional crevice with a thought." Just as Ajax kept the dimensional tokens into his inventory, Inys informed Ajax something that made Ajax nod his head. Earlier, Ajax was only a parietal owner of the dimensional crevice. So, he didn''t have the freedom to enter and exit the dimensional crevice; however, now, he is the only owner of the dimensional crevice. "Okay then. I will be leaving now. Until then take care." After saying those words, Ajax disappeared from the dimensional crevice with a thought. Ajax didn''t bother to check the core of the dimensional crevice because he knew that the system would have repaired it already. Moreover, his dimensional crevice is still a normal one. So, he didn''t bother wasting any more time with the dimensional crevice. ''Time to go back to the mercenary guild.'' Soon, he chose a particr direction as he ran in a particr direction. The reason he didn''t summon the dragon or mutated spirit crane was because both of them were still absorbing the sacred energy. Moreover, it was not safe for him to summon the mutated spirit crane lest he attracts the attention. ''I need to be strong and challenge that dimensional crevice''s owner. As long as Inys devours his dimensional crevice''s core, it will be a special one with special functions.'' ''Moreover, the special function was something that even made an entire greater world envious and also made old man Tannas hunted by them. So, it must be really powerful.'' Along the way, Ajax''s thoughts werepletely focused on the first special function of the dimensional crevice. However, deep down, he had a fear that ''What if the special function will not be the same one?'' ''I can''t do anything about it. Anyway, all the special functions of the dimensional crevice will be good, right?'' Nevertheless, he had another thought that made him stop thinking about the special functions of the dimensional crevice. ''I wonder how Darbaudr is taking care of my missions.'' Soon, he changed his thoughts from the dimensional crevice to Darbaudr whom he tasked with taking care of the golden wyvern king''s territory along with the task of creating the Battle beasts. Since the golden wyvern king Gaimont and Forest fairy king Geron was personally trained by the King of the cursed wilderness, Skaros, Ajax tasked the barbarian in taking care of Gaimont''s territory. Also, Ajax hadid the formation for creating the battle beasts in Gaimont''s territory. So, he can''t appoint some else for taking care of it. So, he could only task Darbaudr. ''After destroying one world, I will go and check on him.'' Ajax didn''t have any ns of checking on Darbaudr; instead, he nned to check on him after some time. ***** Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the BALLOON x 3.

Chapter 968: Drommir and Vogan

In a brightly lit room, "Master, just a few minutes ago, I sensed the existence of a dimensional crevice in this province for a moment." A middle-aged man wearing simple robes replied to an old man who was sitting in a cross-legged position. On the robes of that middle-aged man, there was a word ''Spirit'' that would catch everyone''s attention. ''Hm'' Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, the old man opened his eyes with an expressionless look on his face; however, deep down he was greatly excited with the news. "Moreover, I have a feeling that it was not a normal dimensional crevice. It must be a special one." After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man replied to the old man. "Vogan, how sure are you about the dimensional crevice being a special one?" The old man thought for a moment before asking the middle-aged man. They were none other than the owner and spirit of the dimensional crevice that Ajax previously visited and met Levi. The old man''s name was Drommir and the dimensional crevice''s spirit name was Vogan. Unlike Ajax, Drommir already used the basic function ''Province connector'' of the dimensional crevice because he didn''t know that would limit the growth of his dimensional crevice. "Master, it was only for a moment that I sensed its presence. From that, I can''t say it is a fully special one; however, I am very sure that it was not a normal one either." Vogan became a little hesitant before mustering his courage to inform his master because his master had short-temper and if the information he had given was wrong even by a little bit, then he would punish him. "I said, how sure you are. Give me a percentage." The old man stood up as he asked Vogan in a deep tone, making the spirit shiver. "I...I am 50 percent sure, master." Gritting his teeth, the spirit decreased the percentage to be on the safe side when he was 80 percent sure in reality. "Fifty percent? Then it would be only 25 percent. It is not worth it. Just go back and collect all the dues from the shop owners and if they give any reasons, just kick them back to their province while keeping all the items from his shop in the dimensional crevice itself." The old man thought for a moment before scoffing at Vogan before tasking with other works. Actually, the reason why he decreased Vogan''s percentage was in the past, Vogan was wrong regarding his percentages two times in a row that cost Drommir a lot. From that time onwards, Drommir stopped believing in Vogan''s words. Moreover, since he was using the function ''Province Connector'', he made his dimensional crevice into a marketce for various tops families from the different provinces while charging them huge prices. But still, the families chose to pay them and enter because of their own reasons. "Okay, master." Vogan looked a little disappointed when he heard his master''s words; however, he didn''t retort the old man''s words and went out of the room to collect the dues from the merchants. ''Should I believe him or not?'' After Vogan left the brightly lit, the old man Drommir went back to his cross-legged position as he silently started thinking. ''The previous two times already cost me so much just for searching the dimensional crevice.'' Drommir remembered how much he had spent in finding the dimensional crevice in the past and just thinking from it made the old man heartache. ''Let it be. If there were really a dimensional crevice, then he woulde to me sooner orter to challenge me, right?'' With that thought in his head, the old man closed his eyes as he went back to his cultivation. Even though he was a King realm cultivator, Drommir was didn''t stop cultivation because only after entering the King realm, he understood that his cultivation journey had just begun. Because he was a King realm cultivator, Drommir wanted the owner of the other dimensional crevice toe to him only if what Vogan said was true. Actually, the two times Vogan informed Drommir about the appearance of the dimensional crevice in the Zrochester province was absolutely true; however, what they didn''t know was it was only one dimensional crevice for all three times Vogan informed Drommir. That''s right! When Tannas Valen shifted his dimensional crevice to this world, Vogan informed Drommir for the first time and Drommir was very excited to find another dimensional crevice. So, he didn''t hesitate to spend a lot. As for the second, it was when Ajax mistakenly entered into the dimensional crevice and became the partial master of the dimensional crevice, that also cost Drommir a fortune to search for. And now, for the third time, Vogan informed Drommir when Ajax became aplete master of the dimensional crevice. In the end, it was Ajax''s luck that Drommir was not willing to spend any more to search for the dimensional crevice because unlike before, if he uses all the items and resources he used in the past to search the dimensional crevice, then the chances of finding Ajax''s dimensional crevice were very high. ¡­.. ''Finally, I reached the mercenary guild.'' However, Ajax waspletely oblivious about the conversation between Drommir and Vogan along with the thoughts in Drommir''s head; instead, he waspletely focused on rushing towards the Mercenary guild and reached it after running for three hours. "Ajax, you are here. My Master said you wille in the evening but didn''t expect you toe in the morning itself. Anyway, we can discuss various things until the masteres back." The moment Ajax entered the mercenary guild, Ajax heard a familiar voice that surprised him a little as he greeted the person, "Senior brother Levi, you are still here." It was none other than Levi. "Yup. My master went back to Astral heart and asked me to stay here in case youe early." Levi nodded his head as he exined to Ajax; however, his words confused Ajax as he felt something was not right. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the LOLLIPOP x 2 Chapter 969: Soul Stingray

Chapter 969: Soul Stingray

# Bonus chapter Ajax spent an entire night in the dimensional crevice and rushed towards the mercenary guild in the early hours. As for why Ajax was confused with Levi''s words, why was Levi calling Master Elek as his personal master? ''Isn''t he chosen by Master Seward?'' Ajax thought back to the time when Levi was chosen by Master Seward as his personal disciple. "What happened, Ajax? Are you wondering why I added ''My'' for Master Elek? " Seeing the confused look on Ajax''s face, Levi was able to guess what Ajax was thinking in his head. So, he asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. Ajax nodded his head in reply. "Because Master Seward noticed that I was also skilled in practising soul techniques. So, right now, I have two masters. One master helps me with my cultivation and at the same time helps me increase the grade of the sword dao." "As for the other master, he is helping me with the soul techniques." Without keeping Ajax in suspense for much time, Levi exined what happened to him when Ajax entered the five elemental world. ''Oh'' Finally, Ajax understood and nodded his head before asking Levi, "By the way, senior brother Levi, what are you doing here?" "Didn''t I say, I was waiting for you?" Levi replied to Ajax while looking elsewhere. "I know you already said that. But, I am asking you, what are you doing in the reception hall? Shouldn''t you be in your room?" Generally, all the vagrant cultivators have their own rooms and with the addition of their disciples a couple of weeks ago, they even got their own rooms. Moreover, there was nothing to do in the reception hall unless you wanted to hear the chatter of other mercenaries. So, Ajax asked Levi about it; however, after observing Levi from the moment Ajax entered the mercenary guild, he got a rough understanding of why Levi was waiting. "It''s nothing. You go to a guest room and freshen up. I will meet you in a while." However, Levi didn''t answer Ajax''s question as he rushed Ajax to go upstairs. "Fine...fine...I will go." With a disgruntled voice, Ajax nodded his head as he slowly walked towards the stair. "Beautiful Sister Sarah, you need to be careful. These days stalkers and creeps are bing more and more." All of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his head and turned his head towards the beautiful receptionist Sarah before saying those words. "Haha" Hearing Ajax''s words, Sarah could not help but look at Levi before looking back at Ajax andughed a little. ''...'' "You" Levi became speechless for a moment before shouting at Ajax. "Anyway, I am leaving." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax rushed upstairs. ...¡­.. Time continued to pass and within a sh 10 hours passed by before Master Elek came. For thest 10 hours, Levi, Ajax and Sarah talked for a while before Sarah left for the reception because her job was too busy. Later, Ajax and Levi talked about their recent gains from the Sacred Pool and Ajax got to know about Levi''s cultivator''sw. Most of the time, it was just Levi who talked about his experiences after bing the disciple of Master Seward and Master Elek. "Ajax, follow me." All of a sudden, Master Elek entered the room and asked Ajax to follow him. Ajax was surprised at the sudden appearance of Master Elek; however, he casually nodded his head as he walked out of the room. "Master, what about me?" As for Levi, he anxiously rushed out of the room and hurriedly asked Master Elek. "..." Master Elek thought for a moment before signalling him to follow him. "Come out, Sel." After walking some distance away from the mercenary guild, Master Elek halted in his steps as he summoned a huge shining spirit beast that looked like a stingray. "Everyone, jump onto it and don''t ask me any questions until we reach a specific ce." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Master Elek jumped onto the stingray and waited for others to follow his actions. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Nodding their heads, both Ajax and Levi jumped onto the stingray. ''Shuzz'' The moment theynded on the shining stingray, they were bound by some invisible vines and at the same time, the stingray travelled at an incredible speed. ''What is happening?'' Ajax and Levi were shouting inside their hearts because it was their first time travelling at such speed. Moreover, they were bound by something which made them even more ufortable. ''System, give me the full information on this spirit beast. You can take as much of the essence of nature as you want.'' After adjusting with the speed, Ajax silently asked the system to give him the information on the stingray. ''Ding, No essence of nature is needed. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Soul Stingray (rare) Strength:- Peak rank 6 Elementalw:- Soul control. Skill rted tow:- Soul sting. Skills:- Advanced flight, Soul binding¡­.. Special skills:- Soul control More information:- A rare spirit beast that is very rare to nurture because it needs Astral Energy to increase its cultivation. With no Astral Energy, it will die after some time. ''What? This beast is so powerful. Even the guild master''s Livid griffin is weaker in front of this spirit beast.'' Ajax was shocked to the core when he saw the information on the soul stingray. Not only did it have good skills, but it even had a special skill along with an Elementalw. This is the second spirit beast that Ajax had seen which learned the Elementalw. ''Also, since this spirit beast relies so much on the Astral Energy to increase his cultivation, then Master Elek has a huge supply of Astral Energy. Looks like my Astral Energy crisis will be over soon.'' After reading the ''More information, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he became excited to the ce where Master Elek was taking them. ***** No gifts. Chapter 970: Converting Cursed Energy, Energy resistant pills

Chapter 970: Converting Cursed Energy, Energy resistant pills

''Huh? Into the cursed Abyss?'' Ajax raised his brows when he noticed where they were going into the Cursed Abyss because it is a dangerous ce. If someone entered the depths of the cursed abyss, their bodies would be eroded with the cursed energy. Even elite general realm cultivators might be affected if they stay in the cursed abyss for a long time. So, Ajax raised his brows as looked at Master Elek. "Swallow them. The energy from the pills will stop the cursed energy from entering into your body." As soon as they entered the cursed abyss, Master Elek threw two pills towards them and mysteriously stopped right in front of them as though someone was holding those pills for them. ''Wait a second.'' Ajax didn''t pick the pill immediately; instead, he thought about something, ''Is there any rtionship between Astral Energy and Cursed Energy?'' Actually, there was more than one reason why Ajax thought like that. One, Master Elek is a cultivator who needs Astral Energy for his soul techniques and his ''Soul stingray''. As for the second reason, both the energies are cold; however, one helps the cultivator improve his soul whereas the other one corrodes the soul and body. ''Ding, It is detected that the host entered into an area rich in Cursed Energy and the system also detected that the host''s Sacred Astral Space is in need of Astral Energy. ''Ding, Do you want the system to convert Cursed Energy into Sacred Energy? Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him a little bit excited. ''My guess is right! Looks like Cursed Energy and Astral Energy have the same origin.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax gave permission to convert Cursed Energy into Astral Energy. ''Ding, Permission from the host is granted. From now on, along with the essence of nature, Cursed Energy will be absorbed in the host''s body at the same speed as that of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The conversion rate of Cursed Energy to Astral Energy is 100 to 1. As soon as he gave permission to the system, Ajax felt that Cursed Energy was entering into his body at a rapid speed; however, he was not having any irritation which was the usual symptom of absorbing Cursed Energy into the body. ''But the conversion rate from Cursed Energy to Astral Energy is so high.'' ording to the system for every 100 units of Cursed Energy, he would get one unit and Ajax didn''t know how long it would take for him to gather. ''Also, system, where are you nning to store the Cursed Energy?'' Even though he was not feeling any difort, Ajax was worried about where the system was storing Cursed Energy. ''Ding, Don''t worry, host. In the Sacred Astral Space, there will be two mini spaces to store the Astral Energy and Sacred Energy. ''Ding, Currently, the system is using Astral Energy''s mini space and the moment a unit of Cursed Energy is umted, it will be converted. Note-?One unit of Cursed Energy = 0.01 unit of Astral Energy. ''Phew. So, I was worried for nothing.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the two system notifications in front of him and ordered the system, ''Also, inform me when a single unit of Cursed Energy is umted in Sacred Astral Space.'' ''Ding, Sure, host. ''Huh? Did something happen to the system? Why is it so nice to me?'' Ajax had a bad feeling when he saw how polite the system was and thought to himself. Even earlier, when he asked the system to take the essence of nature for some information, it didn''t take anything and now, it replied like a loyal servant. "Ajax, swallow that pill; otherwise, your body and soul will be corroded by Cursed Energy." Soon, Ajax heard Master Elek words that made hime out of his thoughts and replied, "Yes, Master Elek." After nodding his head, Ajax touched the pill and silently said, ''Appraisal'' ''Ding, Pill name:- Energy resistant pill. Grade:- quasi-rank 5 Effect:- After consuming this pill, except for the essence of nature, no energy will enter into the consumer''s body. Note:- Effectsts for one hour. More information:- A pill that was refined by Master Ramon with the assistance of Matriarch Sandra and Master Elek. As a rank 6 alchemy master, Ajax should be able to tell any type of pill that exists in the Zrochester province; however, Ajax was able to tell anything from the pill. So, he took the system''s help in finding out about the pill. ''So, it was a custom-made pill. No wonder, it was not mentioned in the Summoner''s codex or any other books.'' Finally, Ajax understood something and made swallowing action; however, he silently stored it in his inventory. There are many worlds and in each world, there are many varieties of herbs and nts. So, the alchemists from this world create their own recipes for the problems in their life. For example, entering into this cursed abyss was a mandatory thing for Master Elek. So, he took the help of Master Ramon and others to create a pill that would fight Cursed Energy. Also, there was another reason why this pill''s recipe was not recorded in the Summoner''s codex. Because the way the alchemists from Greater worlds look is differentpared to the alchemists of normal or smaller worlds. The Greater world''s alchemist would create a pill receiver that would allow the cultivators to absorb Cursed Energy into the body before transforming it into Astral Energy since it has the same origin as Cursed Energy. "The effect of the pill you swallow just now willst for exactly an hour. Within that time, we?will reach a ce that is called Cursed Heaven." Seeing that Ajax swallowed the Energy resistant pill, Master Elek turned towards them and informed them about the ce they were going to. ''Cursed Heaven?'' **** Niscka, thanks for the BALLOON. Chapter 971: Nameless Cultivator

Chapter 971: Nameless Cultivator

''Cursed Heaven?'' Ajax and Levi became curious as it was their first time hearing about such a ce. "There are many myths about that ce; however, no one knows which one is true." Seeing their curious looks, Master Elek continued exining, "Even though it was dangerous to enter the Cursed Abyss, mercenaries and cultivators were also curious about this ce and adding to the fact that the more dangers a ce had the greater would be the rewards. So, many tried entering into it only to die." "Hm" Hearing those words, both Ajax and Levi nodded their heads because they already know about it. "However, there are some cultivators who are very sensitive to energies like Cursed Energy, Astral Energy and other energies. They were able to enter the Cursed Abyss by finding a least dense route; however, with that technique, they can''t enter into the depths of the Cursed Abyss because there is no such route where there is a least dense Cursed Energy." "So, with the help of Master Elek and others, we created a pill that could prevent Cursed Energy from entering into our body." Master Elek stopped speaking after giving the history of the Energy resistant pill which Ajax had already got to know from the system. "Master Elek, can you tell us about the Cursed Heaven?" Since Ajax already knew about the pill, he was not interested in it; instead, he asked about the Cursed Heaven. "Sigh" Master Elek shook his head when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he continued speaking, "Cursed Heaven is a ce where pure Astral Energy is generated¡­." "What?" Ajax was shocked with the first line itself and interrupted Master Elek with a shocked look on his face. "Yes; however, it was guarded by a dense Cursed Energy that could even corroded King realm cultivators." Master Elek replied with a bitter smile on his face. "What? Even the King realm cultivators will be corroded by it?" Ajax and Levi shivered with Master Elek''s words. "Does the Royal Family know about it?" Nevertheless, controlling his emotions, Ajax asked Master Elek. "Except for the Vagrant cultivators, no one knows, including Rulf and your Captain." Once again Ajax and Levi were surprised and thought, ''No wonder we didn''t hear anything about it.'' "Also, there is one more thing you need to know." All of a sudden, Master Elek''s face became serious as he continued, "Actually, there are seven vagrant cultivators, not six." ''What?'' Today is the day Ajax and Levi kept on getting one shock after another without much time gap between those shocks. ''Even if Captain Edmond didn''t know about the Cursed Heaven, Rulf, as a follower of the Guild master, he should at least know about it, right? I wonder why they were hiding it even from Rulf?'' Ajax had many thoughts in his head; however, while he was thinking, Master Elek continued saying, "The seventh member of the Vagrant cultivator called himself the Nameless vagrant. He was adamant about absorbing Cursed Energy and wanted to convert it into Astral Energy. However, somewhere in the middle, he lost to Cursed Energy and transformed into a half-corroded being." By the end of his words, Master Elek could not help but feel sad. "What''s more, he entered into a vige in the outskirts of the Cursed Abyss to meet the Guild master; however, without his knowledge, just his presence in that vige killed all the mortals along with the cultivators below General realm." "At the time, Guild master became so angry and used all his attacks to kill the Nameless vagrant; however, because of Cursed Energy, no matter how many times the guild master killed him, he woulde back to life." "Later, after checking all the options, we stopped the guild master before sending him Cursed Heaven and asked him not toe out of it. Since Nameless Cultivator knew what he did was an unforgivable mistake. So, he imprisoned himself in the Cursed Heaven and disappeared from the Zrochester province." Master Elek exined almost everything that? Ajax and Levi needed to know about the Nameless cultivator. ''So, that is the reason why the guild master said those words.'' After listening to everything that Master Elek had said, Ajax finally understood as he remembered yesterday''s scene. When Master Elek brought up the topic of someone who must be the Nameless cultivator, the guild master didn''t look happy; however, he said words like ''Tell him, I forgave him.'' "Will it not cause any trouble for Ajax if he meets the Nameless cultivator?" As for Levi, his line of thinking was different as he asked a question. Since the Nameless cultivator''s presence in a vige turned the entire vige into a graveyard, Levi was worried about Ajax. "Don''t worry, he has been trying to control the Cursed Energy for more than a couple of decades and adding to the fact that Ajax is not amon general realm cultivator, it will not be a big issue. Moreover, I have a few more Energy resistant pills for him in case the cursed energy from the Nameless cultivator affects Ajax." Master Elek was not worried about Ajax because he already knew that Ajax had the protection of his master; however, he had to try his best to protect him. So, he brought more than enough Energy resistant pills. "Master Elek, so, how are we going to get Astral Energy?" Since the main reason why they were entering the Cursed Heaven was because of the Astral Energy. So, Ajax wanted to know how they were going to get it. "Haha" Finally, Master Elekughed as he replied to Ajax, "What is the hurry? You will know once we get there." Master Elek wanted to keep Ajax in suspense as he didn''t want to say anything more than he said. "Okay, Master Elek. I will wait." However, Ajax didn''t continue to ask Master Elek anything regarding his earlier question; instead, he calmly sat on absorbed Cursed Energy. ''Huh?'' Master Elek raised his brows looking at Ajax when he heard those words. **** David_Hamilton_1887 and Gyrzar, thanks for the GRIMOIRE. Chapter 972: Cursed Heaven

# Author''s birthday special chapter (1/5). ''Why is he not showing the interest that he showed at the beginning of the journey?'' That was the only thought in Master Elek''s head because when they were following him from the mercenary guild, Ajax looked very curious and asked so many questions. However, just when he thought Ajax would beg him to reveal how they were going to collect Astral?Energy, Ajax remained silent and nodded his head in reply. ''Let''s see how long you can maintain that calmness.'' Master Elek silently thought in his head as he seated in his ce and guided the Soul stingray towards the Cursed Heavens. However, what he didn''t know was Ajax was fully focused on the converting Cursed Energy into Astral Energy. Moreover, Ajax even thought that without the help of Master Elek, he could just enter into the cursed abyss to umte Astral Energy. The deeper he went into the cursed abyss, the faster he could umte Astral Energy. Time continued to pass and soon 30 minutes passed by before they reached a small cave which waspletely covered by the mist. The mist was nothing but Cursed Energy that was in the purest form. "Finally, we are here." All of a sudden, the Soul Stingray stopped in mid-air as Master Elek informed Ajax and Elek. Along the way, Master Elek had kept an eye on Ajax; however, Ajax fell asleep making him speechless. ''What happened to that curious Ajax who wants to know everything?'' Master Elek even doubted whether he was the original Ajax or someone shapeshifted into Ajax. However, Master Elek knew that it was impossible unless the perpetrator was a King realm cultivator with a shapeshifting ability. "Let''s enter." Nevertheless, he controlled his emotions and asked Ajax and Levi to follow him before summoning back his contracted spirit beast. ''Swoosh'' Once the Soul stingray disappeared, both Ajax and Levi felt their body can move again; however, they fell to the ground from a certain height. "Master Elek, shouldn''t you ask your contracted spirit beast tond on the ground before summoning it back?" Levi was the first one toin because he became closer to Master Elekpared to Ajax while staying in the same secret realm. However, Ajax stood up from the ground with an annoyed look and he was about to say something to Master Elek but stopped because he got a system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions on sessfully umting 1 unit of Cursed Energy. ''Finally, I got one unit of...wait...what? One unit of Cursed Energy?'' Initially, Ajax was excited when he saw the system notification as he thought it was one unit of Astral Energy; however, when he noticed it was Cursed Energy and not Astral Energy, he became disappointed. ''Calm down...calm down. I can find other ways to umte Astral Energy.?Moreover, even if I cultivate here, I will get one unit of Cursed Energy for every 30 minutes which means it would take a little more than 2 days to convert a single unit of Astral Energy.'' Nevertheless, Ajax tried his best to calm down and started thinking more as he continued, ''To get a single unit of Astral Energy for every two days is better than getting 1 unit of Astral Energy for every 10 days. However, for the first option, I have to stay in the Cursed Abyss and as for thetter one, I just need to mind my own business but I will still get 1 unit of Astral Energy for every 10 days,'' After thinking, Ajax felt both the options are good and now, he had two sources of umting Astral Energy and the third one might being soon after entering the cave. "What are you waiting for? Follow me." Seeing that Ajax was not moving from his ce, Master Elek asked him to follow him. He was not worried that Ajax might be injured from the earlier fall and if Ajax really gets injured, then it is better for him to stay outside. After finishing his words, Master Elek didn''t bother about Ajax or Levi as he directly entered into the same cave. ''Ajax, let''s go.'' Levi pulled Ajax with him into the cave as they followed behind Master Elek. ... "Brother Nameless." The moment they entered the cave, both Ajax and Levi heard Master Elek shouting as loudly as possible. Even though the cave looked small from the outside, it was quite big on the inside and what''s more there were any passages. ''Tap tap'' Just as Ajax and Levi wondering why he was shouting for the Nameless Cultivator, they heard the sound of footstepsing from one of the passages. "Brother Elek, why are you shouting? Are you nning to destroy my abode and kill me in it?" From one of the passages, Master Elek got a reply which ended with a scoff. ''Th...this voice, why does it sound so scary?'' Both Ajax and Levi were scared just from hearing the voice because it was the scariest eerie voice they ever heard in their life. In short, that voice almost sounded like some ancient demonic creature that just woke up from its slumber. "He...is" Soon, a figure came out of one of the passages inside the cave and looking at him, both Ajax and Levi nearly threw up everything they ate in the mercenary guild. "Oh. You brought two young men." The figure that came out of the passage became surprised to see Ajax and Levi as he replied to Master Elek with a slight smile while walking towards them. The man''s face was half corroded with his skull bone visible and it was the same for his left hand and left leg. There was no hair on his head on the left side and there was some kind of metal visible on his half corroded throat. "Yes." Master Elek casually nodded his head without moving from his ce. "Good...good. So, finally, it is again time for eating the geniuses. Time passes so quickly here. It''s meal time." Chapter 973: Cursed Army of Nameless Cultivator

Chapter 973: Cursed Army of ''Nameless Cultivator''

# Author''s birthday special chapter (2/5). "It''s mealtime." The half corroded man walked towards them with an eerie smile on his face. ''What?'' They were already scared with the appearance of?''Nameless cultivator'' and hearing his words made them even more terrified. "Wh...what are you saying?" Even though both Ajax and Levi had their own experiences in the world and had some blood rushing fights, the appearance of the figure in front of them already made them lose their fighting morale. Nevertheless, Levi mustered his courage because his cultivation was much higher than Ajax and he even learned the cultivator''sw. "What am I saying? Do you even know why he bought you here? Keke" Nameless cultivator stopped in his steps as he pointed his corroded finger at Master Elek and asked them. "..." Master Elek remained silent without answering, making Levi and Ajax feel something was not right. "So, let me exin to you why you are brought here." Soon, the corroded figure resumed his walking as he travelled towards Ajax and Levi while continued saying, "Since you are here, you must have already known about my past, right?" Even though Ajax and Levi didn''t reply with words, they unconsciously nodded their heads. "Good." Nameless cultivator nodded his head as he continued, "So, to be a regr human again, I have to eat two geniuses for each decade. So far, I ate four young geniuses and adding you two, I need to eat six more young geniuses to retain my human form. Moreover, once I retain it, I will be a King realm cultivator directly." ''What? Is he telling the truth?'' ''No, he must be lying? How can Master Elek be so cruel to hand over his personal disciple?'' Ajax and Levi were not entirely convinced with Nameless cultivator''s words; however, they unconsciously moved back in the same way they entered into the cave. "Boom" They continued to move backwards with each step Nameless cultivator took forward until Levi was sted towards Nameless cultivator by some kind of barrier. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked as he hurriedly turned back to see; however, there was nothing. But still Levi sted away was real. "Senior brother Levi." Ajax stopped bothering with the invisible barrier and shouted at Levi who was obviously not moving even a little. "Don''t bother wasting your breath on the dead man. Even if he was alive, I am injecting my purest Cursed Energy into him." Levi was currently unconscious just beside the corroded figure. So, Nameless cultivator bent a little as he injected Cursed Energy into Levi. "Why are you doing this? Master Elek, tell him to stop what he was doing; otherwise, senior brother Levi will die." Ajax noticed there were some visible changes in the unconscious Levi and finally, he believed that Nameless cultivator was not joking with them; instead, he was really serious. So, he asked Master Elek to stop Nameless cultivator. "Sorry, Ajax. For me, Brother Nameless turning into a human is very importantpared to your lives." Master Elek nonchntly shook his head as he silently watched what Ajax was going to do. ''Damn it. He really sold us to this half-corroded monster.'' Ajax cursed Master Elek as he looked at Nameless cultivator. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something as he continued thinking, ''Didn''t Master Elek say that this Nameless cultivator killed an entire vige just by passively releasing the cursed Energy? If his Cursed Energy is as strong as Master Elek said, I can absorb Cursed Energy at a faster pace, right?'' ''Anyway, I will try it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax suppressed the fear in his heart towards Nameless cultivator as he walked towards him. The thing is, Ajax knew he couldn''t kill it because even the legendary mercenary king, guild master was unable to kill him. So, Ajax wanted to suck theplete Cursed Energy from the Nameless cultivator''s body. Moreover, when Ajax thought a little deeper, he felt Nameless cultivator might be unable to kill him because almost all his attacks would be rted to Cursed Energy. However, Cursed Energy was not lethal for Ajax and it would not even corrode him. ''Interesting'' Seeing that Ajax was walking towards him, Nameless cultivator revealed a slight smile on his face which was obviously an eerie one. "Rise my cursed army." All of a sudden, he stopped in his steps as he made some hand signs and shouted. ''Rumble'' ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised by the rumbling sounds; however, he knew that it was not a good thing for him. ''Rarr'' ''Caww'' ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as Nameless cultivator finished his summoning, more than 10 spirit beasts appeared from the ground. However, those spirit beasts werepletely different from the spirit beasts that Ajax had under him. They were half corroded just like Nameless cultivator. What''s more, there were even a couple of corroded humans along with the corroded spirit beasts. "You even turned humans into cursed beings?" Ajax raised his brows as he looked at the two humans in front of the corroded spirit beasts. "Keke...can''t you see?" Nameless cultivator replied Ajax with his usual eerieugh as he pointed at Levi before saying, "Don''t worry, he will be joining them too because I sense you are an extraordinary genius. So, I think one human is enough for my meal for this decade." "So, what are you waiting for? Go and kill him. I want my meal to stay in one ce while I am eating it." Soon, Nameless cultivator shouted at his army of corroded humans and spirit beasts. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' As soon as they received the order from their master, all the corroded spirit beasts and corroded humans rushed towards Ajax. "Since you want to kill me, I will do the same." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax shouted, ''Shadow clone,e out and absorb the Cursed Energy emitted by them.'' ''Swoosh'' ''Yes, master.'' Soon, an Ajax clone appeared beside him and nodded his head. Chapter 974: Fighting

Chapter 974: Fighting

# Author''s birthday special chapter (3/5). Since the other party was trying to kill him, Ajax could not stand in the same ce without doing anything. So, he summoned his shadow clone who possesses almost all his traits and skills except for the bloodlines and special skills. And the first thing he ordered his shadow clone was to absorb the energy from Nameless cultivator''s body. As for the corroded spirit beasts and humans, Ajax could take care of them and at the same time, he could also absorb Cursed Energy. ''Advanced spatial des'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' Ajax started with his signature skill as thousands of spatial des pierced through the army of Nameless cultivators. ''What the hell?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw how easily they were able to heal their injuries. ''Is it because of Cursed Energy?'' Ajax raised his brows as he looked at Nameless cultivator and guessed it. That''s right! Ajax''s guess was right because Nameless cultivator was sending his pure Cursed Energy for his minions to get healed within seconds. ''What if he injected that pure Cursed Energy into me? Will I instantly get 100 units of Cursed Energy?'' When he had this thought in his head, Ajax could not help but feel excited; however, he struggled with another thought, ''How is he going to inject his pure Cursed Energy into me?'' ''Swoosh'' ''Screech'' Just as he lost in his thoughts, a half-corroded raven screeched before picking him up into the air and dropping from the height. Even though it was a cave, unlike other caves, it was very big and even the ceiling of the cave was at a great height. ''Such a silly tactic.'' However, Ajax didn''t show any fear and wanted to wait until he was 10 meters from the ground to use his ''Teleport'' effect. ''Swoosh'' However, a huge half-corroded rank 6 spirit cheetah appeared behind him in the mid-air. ''Damn it...Teleport.'' Because of that, Ajax didn''t waste any time before using teleport to dodge the attack of the spirit cheetah. ''Swoosh'' ''Oh no'' ''p'' However, just when Ajax felt he had sessfully dodged the spirit cheetah''s attack, a snake-like spirit beast hit him hard with its tail that nailed Ajax into the ground. ''Damn it..there are so many of these spirit beasts and those two humans are yet to start fighting.'' Ajax coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked at the corroded army in front of him before thinking, ''Should I summon my elemental spirits and the spirit beasts?'' Just like Nameless cultivator, Ajax had his own army that was bigger and stronger. ''But I still don''t know whether they would be affected by Cursed Energy and be like them?'' However, Ajax didn''t want to take any unnecessary risk unless there was no choice for him. Right now, Ajax felt as long as Master Elek didn''t interfere, Ajax had sufficient confidence in defeating Nameless cultivator on his own. ''I don''t know what he is thinking in his head but he is better than what he told me.'' Nameless cultivator was surprised by the reaction speed and skills of Ajax. ''Also, why the hell do I feel like someone is forcefully absorbing my pure Cursed Energy?'' At the same time, he looked in the shadow clone''s direction and raised his brows. "Someone take care of him." Nameless cultivator had a bad feeling when he sensed that his energy was being sucked by Ajax''s shadow clone. Moreover, he didn''t know how that shadow clone was able to absorb his Cursed Energy; however, he didn''t want any more of his cursed Energy to be absorbed. So, he sent off his minion to attack Ajax''s shadow clone. ''Spit'' As for Ajax, when he saw that, he spits some blood before ordering his clone, ''Go into shadow form and absorb Cursed Energy.'' ''System, directly transfer whatever Cursed Energy he absorbed into my Sacred Astral Space.'' At the same time, Ajax ordered his system before revealing a slight smile on his face. ''Swoosh'' Hearing his master''s order, the shadow clone nodded his head before dissolving into some ck liquid and moved closer towards Nameless cultivator. ''Interesting. His shadow clone is not in the attacking form but at the same time, it can''t be destroyed or killed in that form.'' ''Thud thud'' ''Roar'' The corroded spirit ape became furious when it saw that its attacks were useless on the shadow clone as it mmed its chest. "Idiot. Stopping attacking the clone; instead, go and attack its master." While pointing at Ajax, Nameless cultivator ordered the spirit ape to attack Ajax. Be it contracted spirit beast or elemental summon or clones, as long as the master is killed, they would either die along with him or the severely injured. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Soon, Ajax was once again surrounded by the corroded spirit beasts and humans. Almost all the spirit beasts were having the cultivation of peak rank 6 except for a couple of spirit beasts. As for the humans, surprisingly, they also have the cultivation of the peak elite general realm and even if they have the cultivator''sw, Ajax would not be surprised because even though they were corroded, Ajax could still tell them they were very old before bing the corroded beings. ''Since he wants to kill the master, I will do the same.'' Ajax revealed a cruel smile on his face as he directly rushed towards the spirit beast that was right in front of him. ''Roar'' The spirit beast angrily roared at him because it felt that Ajax was looking down on it too much, before rushing towards Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Just when the lion-like spirit beast was about to eat him, Ajax dodged the attack by using the lightning cloud steps skill''s first effect which was increasing the speed of the cultivator by three times for one hour. ''Rarr'' The spirit beast became even more angry when Ajax dodged it and wanted to attack him once again; however, before it could look back, the spirit beast felt its entire surroundings were rotating as its head fell to the ground. Chapter 975: Acting?

Chapter 975: Acting?

# Author''s birthday special chapter (4/5). ''Thud'' The remaining body of the lion-like spirit beast fell to the ground as Ajax lightlynded on the ground. In his hand, there was the inheritance sword. Since he was unable to kill the corroded beings by injuring them multiple times, Ajax wanted to kill them in a single attack. So, they would not be able to heal once again. ''Move'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax didn''t even bother to look at the fallen lion-like spirit beast as he took the help of the first effect of the lightning cloud steps to move three times faster than his original speed. This time, he chose a snake-like spirit beast that was between Ajax and Nameless cultivator. ''As long as I kill it, I can surprise him with my next move.'' When he ordered his shadow form, Ajax already had a n in his mind. So far, the n was good and he was hoping it would seed. ''Ding, +1 unit of Cursed Energy transferred from the host''s shadow clone. ''Nice. It''s been only five minutes since he started absorbing Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator. If I can tame Nameless cultivators, I can get 12 units of Cursed Energy for every hour which means it will take a little more than 8 hours to get a single unit of Astral Energy. Good.'' With the sudden system notification, Ajax quickly calcted the number of units he would get per hour and other things. After his rough calctions, Ajax became even more excited as he tightened his grip around the inheritance sword''s hilt. ''Mountain Splitting Sword technique'' Just when the snake type spirit beast was about to swallow him as a whole, Ajax used the single sword technique he had in his arsenal to chop its head just like the lion type spirit beast that he killed a few moments ago. ''Teleport'' As soon as the line between him and Nameless cultivator got cleared, Ajax directly used the ''Teleport'' effect two times in a row and appeared a couple of meters away from Nameless cultivator. "Keke...I am waiting for you, kid." However, what Ajax didn''t expect were those words and the eerie chuckle from Nameless cultivator. "Then take it." Without hesitation, Ajax released two sword waves before throwing the sword behind them. ''Teleport'' As for Ajax, he disappeared from his ce and appeared a couple of meters away from Nameless cultivator. It was not that Ajax got scared to attack Nameless cultivator but it was Ajax''s n to do what he did. Because the next step of the n was about to start. ''Heaven and earth refining technique, circte faster.'' ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique, you too.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax activated two techniques simultaneously. Even though Ajax didn''t know what kind of effect they would have, he felt it would not be a bad one. Moreover, he was very sure that the Heaven and earth refining technique would absorb the pure Cursed Energy at a faster rate. ''Ding, It is detected that the host is activating two techniques, one refining and one mysterious. It might be dangerous for the host. Please think before making a decision. However, unexpectedly, the system warned him about his decision. ''What?'' Ajax didn''t expect such a thing to happen and thought, ''What should I do now?'' There was not much time for Ajax because Nameless cultivator would react if he wasted any more time. ''Hey, Kid. My Mysterious spirit cultivation technique will do miracles. Just circte it with other cultivation techniques.'' Just as Ajax was thinking what he had to do, he heard the familiar old man''s voice in his head. ''Okay.'' Even though he interacted very little with the old voice in his headpared to the system, Ajax had enough trust because that old voice came to his rescue many times even when the system gave up on him. Moreover, he even motivated Ajax multiple times with his half-broken promises. So, without thinking much, Ajax blindly decided to follow the old voice''s suggestion. ''Aargh'' The moment he circted two cultivation techniques at the same time, Ajax felt unbearable pain in his dantian. ''Thud'' Soon, Ajax started experiencing a great deal of pain in his dantian which started spreading to his entire body. ''Hey, old man. What the hell is happening to me?'' Ajax asked the old man while gritting his teeth. ''Just endure it and as long as you endure it, you can enjoy great rewards. Moreover, you will get the ability to absorb any type of energy into your body at an incredible speed.'' However, this time, the old voice in Ajax''s head didn''t disappear; instead, he tried his best in motivating Ajax to endure that pain. ''Okay'' Ajax nodded his head; however, he felt that the old voice''s words seemed like he was excited about something which Ajax absolutely didn''t like. However, he continued to circte the two cultivation techniques while looking at Nameless cultivation. By now, Nameless cultivator had already destroyed his two sword waves and dodged the inheritance sword; however, he didn''t attack or didn''t order his minions to attack Ajax. Instead, he was looking at Ajax with a confused look on his face as he thought, ''All of a sudden, what happened to him?'' ''Brother Elek, did I overdo it?'' Looking at Ajax, Nameless cultivator transmitted his voice to Master Elek. ''Don''t worry. He is more capable than what he showed you until now. Just wait until he stands up again. Since he needs a lot of Astral Energy, we better need to test him before sending him into that ce.'' Master Elek shook his head as he replied to Nameless cultivator. If Ajax had heard those words, then he would have cursed both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator to death. ''Aargh'' Nevertheless, his pain continued to increase, making him groan. ''Are you sure, he is okay?'' Even though he looked scary with his appearance, Nameless cultivator was a little soft-hearted among all the vagrant cultivators. So, he asked Master Elek once again. Chapter 976: Unknown Special State

Chapter 976: Unknown Special State

# Author''s birthday special chapter (5/5). ''What is happening to him?'' Even Master Elek was surprised at the groaning Ajax because he didn''t understand the reason behind Ajax''s pain. ''He will be okay.'' Nevertheless, he transmitted his voice to Nameless cultivator before thinking, ''Even if something happens to him, his master will protect him, right?'' Master Elek was not worried about Ajax''s master attacking them all of sudden because he knew that a powerful cultivator might have already understood what they were trying to do. So, he maintained his cool as he waited for Ajax to stand. ''Damn it...at this rate, I am not going to make it.'' ''Kid, you can do it. Just wait for it.'' Ajax continued to endure the pain which was spreading all over his body and he even thought to stop in the middle; however, he was stopped by the old voice in his head. ''Ding, It is detected that the host is entering into a special state unknown to the system. ''Ding, However, the system detected that the host can absorb the energies around him at an incredible speed. Finally, after waiting for a few minutes, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that made Ajax heave a sigh of relief. However, that doesn''t mean the pain disappearedpletely. Nevertheless, Ajax was satisfied with those two system notifications because finally, there was something he got in return for enduring such unbearable pain. ''Unknown to you?'' What surprised Ajax the most was the system didn''t know about his current special state. ''It looks like the system is not an omniscient being as I thought.'' Ajax thought in his head as he gritted his teeth because he could still feel the pain spreading all over his body. ''Ding, In the host''s current state, he could absorb one unit of Cursed Energy for every minute. Soon, Ajax got another system notification that made him temporarily forget the pain in his body. ''Excellent.'' Ajax became excited and continued to endure the pain as he started calcting how many hours it would take him to get one unit of Astral Energy. For every minute, one unit of Cursed Energy would be umted. So, it would take 100 minutes to umte 100 units of Cursed Energy which could be converted into one unit of Astral Energy. Compared to the speed of his clone, where he was able to umte one unit of Cursed Energy for every minute, it was way too good. So, he continued rotating two cultivation techniques at the same time. ''However, why is he not attacking me?'' Another thing that surprised Ajax was Nameless cultivator was not attacking; instead, he was watching Ajax with a worried look on his face. ''Maybe, he was worried about not being able to consume me.'' Ajax was unable to guess that both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator was just testing him before sending him to a ce where he could collect as much Astral Energy he wanted. ''I need to quickly absorb as much Cursed Energy as possible to weaken him.'' Ajax assumed that as long as he absorbed Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator, he would gradually be weak. Moreover, he already knew that Nameless cultivator was hard to kill as even the guild master was unable to kill. ''Swoosh'' While continuing what he was doing, Ajax''s eyesnded on the two corroded spirit beasts he chopped off their heads. Surprisingly, those two spirit beast''s heads and the remaining portion of the bodies attached before returning to their peak state. ''What the hell? What is this Cursed Energy?'' After seeing that scene, Ajax started thinking about Cursed Energy. ''Cursed Energy and Astral Energy have the same origin but why was Cursed Energy so powerful?'' Ajax recalled everything he knew about Cursed Energy and Astral Energy as started to think about it. ''Ding, Actually, both are equally powerful when you take the side effects into consideration. All of a sudden, the system replied to him with something that made him think more; however, the system continued to exin more. ''Ding, With the help of Astral Energy, a cultivator can practice soul techniques, improve his soul and live twice the yearspared to the regr cultivators. ''Ding, As for Cursed Energy, as the name implies, the cultivators who use it to cultivate would be cursed forever; however, with the side effects like half-corroding to full-corroding. Moreover, they will affect others. So, they can''t live with other cultivators. ''Hmm..that''s right!'' Ajax nodded his head as he agreed with the system and thought, ''Both energies have their own advantages.'' So what if a cultivator can live forever? He should wander the world with his corroded bodies and kill everyone thates near to him. ''Ding, +1 unit of Cursed Energy received from the host''s shadow clone. ''Ding, +5 units of Cursed Energy gained by the host''s special state. ''Ding, +1 unit ''Ding, +5 units . . . For every five minutes, Ajax continued to get the system notifications regarding the umtion of Cursed Energy. Before he knew about it, he got 0.40 percent of Cursed Energy. ''Damn it, it''s been more than 30 minutes, I can''t take it anymore.'' Ajax feltpletely tired due to the bone-cracking pain. If not for the system notifications, Ajax would have already stopped it long back even if the old voice''s continue to motivate. ''I will stop for now and continue after some time.'' Finally, after enduring for more than 30 minutes of unbreakable pain, Ajax stopped circting the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique. ''Thud'' As soon as he stopped circting it, Ajax fell to the ground; however, he tried his best to stay conscious because he was still in danger because Nameless cultivator might devour him any time. ''Phew'' The moment Ajax fell to the ground, Master Elek hurriedly probed Ajax''s health condition and once he felt everything was alright, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''Didn''t I say he will be alright?'' Soon, Master Elek transmitted his voice to Nameless cultivator. "Haha...finally, I am out." Just as Nameless cultivator nodded his head, a loud voice resounded in the cave. Chapter 977: Old voice comes out

Chapter 977: ''Old voice''es out

Currently, Ajax was lying on the ground while maintaining his consciousness with much difficulty. ''I will just sleep.'' Ajax didn''t bother about his life anymore because his body had long crossed its limits. As soon as he got the thought in his mind, Ajax''s eyelids slowly shut down. ''Haha...I am finally out.'' The moment Ajax became unconscious, a transparent silhouette came out of Ajax''s body as heughed out loud making the entire cave shake a little. ''What the hell?'' ''Who is he?'' Both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were shocked by the sudden appearance of the old man in front of Ajax. The old man didn''t seem real but he was still there and his voice shook the entire cave. He had a thick white beard that was touching his potbelly. "I didn''t expect such a ce to exist in this backward world. I was able to recover my portion of the spirit consciousness within such a short time." Rubbing his potbelly, the old man looked around him excitedly as though he had found a treasure trove. ''It is just a small portion of the spirit consciousness and it is so powerful already. How powerful will he be at his peak condition?'' Master Elek and Nameless cultivator silently thought in their hearts and shuddered because the old man in front of them might be the strongest cultivator they have seen in their life. ''Is he the powerful master that teaches Ajax through his dreams?'' It didn''t take much time for Master Elek toe to that decision because that would be the only possible logic. Master Elek had read in some ancient books that the powerful cultivators could ce a small portion of their consciousness in their disciple''s bodies and if any life-threatening situationes to their disciples, their spirit consciousness will be activated to save the disciple''s life. As soon as that thought came to his mind, Master Elek didn''t bother to waste any more time and hurriedly bowed to the old man before saying, "Powerful cultivator, sorry for pushing your disciples to his limits¡­." "He is not my disciple and I don''t like taking any disciples." Before Master Elek could finish his words, the old man looked at Master Elek before interrupting him. ''Huh?'' Master Elek got confused for a moment and after thinking about something, Master Elek nodded his head. Almost all the powerful cultivators had their own ideals that might sound crazy to normal cultivators but for them, they werepletely normal. "He is my sessor whom I am nning to groom to be one." While Master Elek was in his thoughts, the old man stroked his white beard and informed him. ''Oh.'' Finally, Master Elek understood something as he hurriedly nodded his head. There were some powerful cultivators who would like to train some young cultivators and only after checking all the aspects of the young cultivators, they would ept him or her as their disciple or sessor. "Powerful cultivator, sorry for harming your to-be-sessor..." "I know why you did that to him." Once again, before Master Elek could finish his words, the old man interrupted him before continuing, "Where is that ce?" The old man asked about somece that made Master Elek a little hesitant; however, he felt it was the right thing to answer the old man about the ce. ''What do you say, Brother Nameless?'' However, he didn''t answer the old man directly because it was not his decision; instead, it was Nameless cultivator who had to answer the old man because he dedicated his entire life to that ce. "Oh" When the old man followed Master Elek''s eye direction, he saw Nameless Cultivator who was in a dilemma to give up on the ce that he was holding dear for many years now. "It looks like you are cing all your hopes on that ce to get back to your human form. Am I right?" Seeing the dilemma on Nameless cultivator''s face, the old man could not help but chuckle as he asked him a question. "Yes, Powerful cultivator." Since the old man was not angered with his dy in answering his question, Nameless cultivator heaved a sigh of relief as he replied to him. "Then you are in luck today because I have a way to turn you back into your human form along with your cursed army. Moreover, you can continue to use the Cursed Energy for your cultivation." The old man walked towards the Nameless cultivator as he told him. ''What?'' With each step the old man took towards him, Nameless cultivator was feeling tremendous pressure; however, the old man''s words made him so excited that he forgot about the pressure and asked the old man with an excited look on his face. "What will I gain by lying to you? Of course, it is true." The old man stopped all of a sudden as though he was stopped by something that made the old man curse in his heart, ''Damn it¡­why can''t I move more than 10 meters away from that kid? Is it because of that unknown entity in his head?'' The old man looked at Ajax with aplicated look on his face as he felt that Ajax was still a mystery to him. ''Anyway, I have to focus on this for now.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t bother about Ajax and didn''t think about the other entity in Ajax''s head as he had other things to do right now. "Powerful cultivator, I can guide you to that ce. Please follow me, but can you promise me that you can turn me back to normal? Even if I am unable to cultivate, I don''t mind; however, I just want to be a regr human." Without wasting any time, Nameless cultivator replied to the old man with a polite look on his face. "I can do that; however, ites at a price." All of a sudden, there was a mysterious smile on the old man''s face that made Nameless cultivator shiver unconsciously. **** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the MECHANICAL KEYBOARD. cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA. Chapter 978: Crazy Absorption Speed

Chapter 978: Crazy Absorption Speed

"What is it, Powerful cultivator?" Nameless cultivator felt something was not right; however when he thought about his life for thest couple of decades, he didn''t hesitate to ask about it. "After I help you be a regr human, you have to work for me for 100 years." The old man didn''t think much before saying his condition. ''What? 100 years?'' Nameless cultivator and Master Elek both were shocked when they heard those words. "I will agree." However, after thinking about how he spent his life in this cave for the past two decades, Nameless cultivator felt it was better to work for a powerful cultivator for 100 years; instead of rotting in the cave. Actually, Nameless cultivator found a way to be normal after staying in this cave; however, ording to his assumption, it would take at least 1000 years and he was not 100 percent sure whether it would work or not. Moreover, after 1000 years, even if he bes normal, he doesn''t know whether he would live after that because a human could not live past 1000 years unless he breakthrough into the King realm. "Good." Hearing Nameless cultivator''s words, the old man nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face as he continued, "Come here and close your eyes." Since the old man could not move more than 10 meters from Ajax, he could only ask Nameless cultivator to go near him. ''Hm'' Nameless cultivator nodded his head as he closed his eyes after reaching the old man. In the next moment, the old man lightly tapped Nameless cultivator''s forehead as though he was transmitting something into Nameless cultivator''s head. "Th...this is..." Nameless cultivator became shocked as he opened his eyes and looked at the old man in a new light. "The spirit cultivation technique I sent you will help you with your problem and it will take around 10 years for you to return to your normal human form." The old man nonchntly informed Nameless cultivator and looked at Master Elek, "As for you, why don''t you bring him along with us." After giving the spirit cultivation technique to Nameless cultivator, the old man didn''t bother to ask him about the earlier thing because he knew Nameless cultivator would take him to that ce since he had already kept his end of the promise. So, he asked Master Elek to carry Ajax along with them. "Powerful cultivator, Ajax might die because of Cursed Energy. Isn''t it better for him to stay here?" Master Elek hesitated a little before saying those words. Because the pill''s effect had alreadye to an end and if they continued to bring him to that ce, he would die with the pure Cursed Energy. "You don''t have to worry about it." However, the old man shook his head as he informed Nameless cultivator and Master Elek, "He can absorb Cursed Energy without any side effects." ''What?'' The old man''s words caused a great shock wave in both the cultivators as they looked at Ajax before thinking, ''As expected of someone having a great master.'' ''Che'' The old man was able to sense what they were thinking in their heads and could not help but be irritated. Actually, the reason why Ajax was able to use Cursed Energy was because of something else. Even though his ''Mysterious spirit energy'' could help absorb Cursed Energy without any side effects, Ajax would not have any difficulty even without his technique. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother to say anything as he waited for Master Elek to pick Ajax up from the ground. Soon, the old man in the spirit consciousness form, Nameless cultivator, Master Elek with Ajax in his arms started walking into a specific passage. ¡­ ''Hm'' While they were walking in the passage, Ajax was able to regain his consciousness lightly; however, he was still wondering what was happening around him. ''Ding, The system detected a huge amount of Pure Cursed Energy from a familiar entity. ''Ding, Do you want the system to absorb everything from it and convert it into Astral Energy? Once the system regained its consciousness along with Ajax, it sent two system notifications making Ajax a little surprised. ''Sure. Go ahead.'' Without thinking much, Ajax directly gave the permission to absorb and convert Cursed Energy. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he gave permission for the system to absorb Pure Cursed Energy, the dense Cursed Energy rushed into his body, making him feel chilly. Since Cursed Energy had cold properties, Ajax started shivering lighting; however, when he saw the system notifications, he couldn''t help but forget the cold. ''Ding, +10 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host''s body and converted into? 0.1 percent of one unit of Astral Energy. ''Ding, +20 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host''s body and converted into? 0.2 percent of one unit of Astral Energy. ''Ding, +30 units of Cursed Energy¡­.0.3 percent. . . . With each passing second, his absorption speed increased andpared to his earlier speed, this speed was even more terrifying making him Ajax excited. Before he could even finish his thinking, he already got more than five units of Astral Energy from converting Cursed Energy. ''At this rate, it would take me only a couple of minutes before getting the required amount of Astral Energy.'' Ajaxpletely forgot that his body was freezing due to the crazy absorption speed; instead, he silently thought in his head. "Powerful cultivator, something is happening to Ajax?" All of a sudden, Master Elek stopped in his steps as he felt his hands be numb just from carrying Ajax and hurriedly informed the old man. Even though Master Elek was a powerful cultivator with peak elite general realm cultivation, he was not able to control his body from the cold aura emitted by Ajax. Soon, he kept Ajax on the ground as he circted his cultivation technique to kick the Cold Cursed Energy out of his body.

Chapter 979: Poor "Old Voice"

# Bonus chapter ''Th...this is..'' Even the old man was shocked to see the nearly ice statued Ajax. However, what shocked him, even more, was the Pure Cursed Energy that he absorbed earlier was being depleted at an incredible speed. ''Damn it...where is it going?'' The old man was unable to find the exact traces of where his Pure Cursed Energy was going and who was sucking him dry with such a crazy absorption speed. ''I don''t have time to think about it. I need to save this kid; otherwise, I might die.'' He was unable to concentrate on the ''Bastard'' that was absorbing the Pure Cursed Energy from his body because he still didn''t know why was connected to Ajax despite being able to form a partial spirit consciousness. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to take the risk because what if Ajax dies and he would die along with him? He was barely able to save his small portion of spirit consciousness from his previous bad situation. Now, if something happens to Ajax, he would die for real. ''Damn it¡­.I just came out and now I have to go back.'' ''Swoosh'' The old man cursed at his bad luck; however, without wasting any time, he directly entered into Ajax and tried his best to remove the side effects of Cursed Energy. ''Wait a second! Why was his body freezing all of a sudden? Don''t tell me he is the ''Bastard'' who is sucking all my Pure Cursed Energy?'' Once the old man entered Ajax''s body, he was able to stabilize Ajax''s condition and at the same time, he realized that Ajax was the one who was absorbing his Pure Cursed Energy. However, he could not do anything to Ajax except for sighing. ''Since he was stabilised, I will go out and absorb more Cursed Energy. I don''t think he will continue to absorb all my Pure Cursed Energy.'' As a cultivator who seemed to know everything about Cursed Energy, he knew it was impossible for anything to absorb Cursed Energy continuously without a break. So, he wanted to go out and absorb Cursed Energy. ''Moreover, in that ce, I can easily replenish everything I lost in a couple of minutes.'' The old man thought to himself as he tried toe out. ''Huh?'' ''What is happening to me? Why can''t Ie out of his body?'' All of a sudden, the old man got stuck by something that made him unable toe out of Ajax. ''No...my Pure Cursed Energy ispletely empty.'' Soon, all the Pure Cursed Energy stored in his spirit consciousness disappeared without a trace as he returned back to his previous state where he could only talk asionally. ''I need to convince him to rotate my ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique'' along with his main cultivation technique.'' Soon, the old man became anxious because he knew he could not stay in his current form for much time and he would once again enter into slumber. ... ''Ding, +10 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host''s body and converted into? 0.1 percent of one unit of Astral Energy. . . . ''Ding, +4500 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host''s body and converted into 45 units of Astral Energy. ''Huh?'' Ajax was only getting 10 units of Cursed Energy for every couple of seconds and all of a sudden, he got 4500 units of Cursed Energy which instantly filled Astral Space''s quota in the Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, The host''s Sacred Astral Space has enough units of Astral Energy and Sacred Energy. ''Ding, Merging both energies and creating 51 units of Sacred Astral Energy. While he was in his thoughts Ajax got two more system notifications that made him excited. ''Hey, young man. Why don''t you rotate both the cultivation techniques once again?'' While Ajax was waiting on the ground for both the energies to merge, he heard the familiar old voice in his head. ''Sorry, old man. My body is still in pain. So, I can''t rotate it for some time.'' Ajax didn''t even think for a second before directly rejecting the old man''s request. Even though his body was still in the pain, Ajax could push him to circte both the cultivation techniques; however, currently, Ajax didn''t have any use of Astral Energy anymore. Moreover, his Sacred Astral Space would bepletely filled after both Astral Energy and Sacred Energy merges. So, why should he have to work hard to gain something he would not be benefited from? ''What the hell?'' Hearing his reply, the old voice cursed Ajax and thought, ''You are the one who sucked all my Pure Cursed Energy and you are behaving like you don''t owe me anything.'' The old man shouted as loudly as possible; however, he was being suppressed by something that was way more powerful than him. Moreover, without any Cursed Energy or any other kinds of energy, the old voice can''t do anything and let Ajax use the mysterious spirit cultivation on his own. ''And why the hell is he not killing beings with spirit consciouosness after mysteriously upgrading it to level 3?'' There was another thing that was bothering the old man because whenever he killed someone with a spirit consciousness, there was a 10 percent of getting 10 percent of the spirit consciousness of the enemy he killed in the battle. As for why he was bothering about it, only the old man knows. ''Damn it¡­.it looks like I am stuck with this kid forever.'' Nevertheless, he was sure about one thing and it was that he had to live with the young man forever because of the other thing inside his head that already connected his spirit consciousness to Ajax''s spirit consciousness. What''s more, it was only connected by a very small portion that even Ajax was unable to notice it. Soon, the old man entered into his slumber as all the energy in his spirit consciousness was depleted for some time already. ***** Zacahary_Ross_9246, thanks for the ICE COLA. ***** From now on bonus chapters will be released for Golden Tickets.

Chapter 980: Misunderstanding

Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were looking at Ajax as they still didn''t know what was happening with Ajax. Earlier, while fighting Nameless cultivator, he fell to the ground while groaning and next his master''s spirit consciousness came out of his body before asking them to take to that ce. While they were following his request, Ajax started freezing and his master went into his body. Even though Ajax stopped freezing, his master didn''te out of Ajax''s body, making Master Elek and Nameless cultivator confused. Moreover, they also didn''t know that the so-called powerful master of Ajax had entered into his usual slumber. ..... ''Ding, 51 units of Astral Energy and Sacred Energy merged into 51 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Currently, the Sacred Astral Space ispletely filled and the host can''t absorb anymore Astral Energy and Sacred Energy. ''Ding, The host met the requirements to be a Sacred Astral Healer. Do you want to be a Sacred Astral Healer now? Or do you want to wait for some time? As for Ajax, in his head, continuous system notification rang that made him fully satisfied. ''Finally, the time hase for me to be a Sacred Astral Healer.'' Initially, Ajax thought it would take at least a few months to umte Astral Energy; however, he didn''t expect that he would umte the required amount ofo Astral Energy in a single day. ''System, if I decide to be a Sacred Astral healer now, will it be a problem for me?'' Ajax didn''t dare to ept thest system notification directly as he didn''t getplete rity on how the Sacred Astral energy works. Moreover, he still didn''t know Master Elek and Nameless cultivators were good or bad. While asking that, Ajax tried to stand up from the ground. "Ajax, are you okay?" "Where is your master?" Seeing that Ajax was trying to stand up, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator rushed forward to help him. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows when he saw them; however, he didn''t say anything. Moreover, he was confused at Nameless cultivator''s question who asked him about his "Master". "I think he is in his cultivation." After thinking for a moment, Ajax replied to Nameless cultivator. He didn''t know why they all of a sudden asked about his master who was an imaginary character that he created for his convenience. Nevertheless, he replied because, after his reply, he doubted they would ask him any more questions. ''What?'' ''Didn''t he ask me to bring him to that ce?'' Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were surprised with the old man''s actions because he had already helped Nameless cultivator regarding his corroded form. ''Brother Elek, what should I do?'' Nameless cultivator interacted with the outside world very little. So, he asked Master Elek for suggestions. ''Brother Nameless, you still didn''t understand?'' Master Elek transmitted his voice to Nameless cultivator as he continued exining, ''Why would a powerful cultivator beyond King realm need your help? I guess he indirectly asked you to follow his soon-to-be sessor for the next 100 years to help him with any misfortune he encounters.'' ''Moreover, from the looks of it, Ajax still didn''t know the deal between you and his master. So, it''s better to keep it a secret lest you anger his master.'' Master Elek finished his suggestions as he helped Ajax stand on the ground. ''Now, I understood, brother Elek.'' With Master Elek''s words,? Nameless cultivator got the sudden revtion as he nodded his head before saying, ''As soon as I transform into theplete human form, I will follow him.'' Since Ajax''s master was so powerful and he must be in a faraway greater world. So, it would be difficult for the master to look after his disciple even with the partial spirit consciousness inside his disciple''s bodies because it would disturb the real master in his cultivation. So, Nameless cultivator and Master Elek thought the old man''s earlier deal was for Ajax. ''Ding, No, there will be no problem for the host. As for Ajax, he got the system notification for his question from the system making him heave a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to be a Sacred Astral Healer before knowing about Master Elek and Nameless cultivator. "Master Elek, what are you trying to do earlier? Is Senior brother Levi alright?" Ajax was unable to see Levi which made Ajax a little bit anxious; however, he controlled his emotions as he coldly asked Master Elek. "I am sorry for what happened earlier, Ajax." Master Elek hurriedly apologized to Ajax as he immediately took out a small ss orb and said, "Levi is currently inside my Soul orb. He ispletely alright and he might even break through to the next level in a couple of days. So, there is no need to worry about him." ''Phew'' Once he saw the cross-legged Levi inside the small soul orb, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "Then what are you trying to do?" "Moreover, not only did he turn the spirit beasts into cursed beasts, but he even turned humans into cursed beings. What do you exin about it?" In a short span of time, Ajax asked multiple questions to Master Elek while keeping some distance from Nameless cultivator. Previously, when he heard about Nameless cultivator''s past, Ajax felt pity for him; however, who would have thought that he was just like those cultivators from the sects who would turn humans into corroded beings just like him to do his bidding. "For your first question, the answer is, it is a test." Master Elek sighed as he replied to Ajax for his first question. ''Test?'' Ajax frowned as he waited for Master Elek to exin more about what it meant. "Since you wanted Astral Energy, we need to send you to a specific ce; however, before we send, we have to confirm that you have enough strength." ''What?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment when he heard those words.'' **** KingRig, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE Niscka, cageraymortal, Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the ICE COLA. ***** Three Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter.

Chapter 981: [Bonus Chapter]Origin Paradise

"What ce?" Ajax asked Master Elek with a serious look on his face. Even though Ajax didn''t know about what ce they were talking about it, that nearly tortured him to death. So, he wanted to know about the ce. "It''s called ''Origin paradise''." Master Elek looked at Nameless cultivator before getting his permission, Master Elek answered Ajax''s question. "What? Origin paradise is here?" Ajax was shocked to the core when he heard those words because he knew about the so-called Origin paradise. Origin paradise is a ce where three or more than three energies in their purest form would be generated continuously. However, the reason why Ajax got shocked was not because of that; instead, it was almost impossible for ''Origin Paradise''? to exist in a normal world like Purple stone world. ''Unless¡­.'' Just when Ajax thinking about why an origin paradise appeared in a normal world, Master Elek told Ajax, "Actually, it is not a true origin paradise." "Huh? Then? Master Elek, just give me the full information." Ajax was nearing some kind of assumption regarding the appearance of an ''Origin Paradise'' that he stopped when he heard Master Elek''s words and asked Master Elek to give him the full information. "After Brother Nameless voluntarily entered into this cave which he named Cursed Heaven, he found out the reason for such a dense Cursed Energy in one of the passages of this cave." "There, he found out there was another energy besides Cursed Energy and that was, of course, Astral Energy. Both the energies were having the same origin; however, Cursed Energypletely dominated Astral Energy and turned the pure Astral Energy into Cursed Energy." Master Elek took a short break after saying the main information. "Oh. So, it is a mini version of the Origin Paradise." Ajax understood as he nodded his head. Just like how Ajax named his starting Elemental paradises as ''Mini thunder pool'' and ''Mini dark abyss'', Master Elek and others also named it simrly; however, they didn''t bother with the word ''Mini'' and directly called that ce Origin paradise. "Yes." Master Elek and Nameless cultivator both nodded their heads. "Even though my master has told me about the origin paradises, he didn''t say the dangers in it?" Ajax asked them with a curious look on his face. "For any regr origin paradise, there would be more than 10yers of protection with an equal distance from the center of the Origin paradise. Eachyer a cultivator moves closer to the center of the Origin Paradise, the more powerful the energies be." "Hm" Ajax carefully listened to Master Elek''s exnation without disturbing him. "As for the origin paradise in this Cursed Heaven, it only have fiveyers and to get the Astral Energy, the cultivator has to enter at least the thirdyer because, from the fourthyer, Astral Energy will bepletely converted into Cursed Energy." "However, even if any random cultivator with weak spirit consciousness enters the fifthyer, then they would bepletely corroded. No matter how many energy resistant pills he swallows. Also, even the purest Astral Energy is not good for the weak spirit consciousness cultivators because their body can''t endure the pain." Soon, Master Elek finished his exnation about the Origin Paradise. ''So, it is like this.'' Finally, Ajax understood why they acted so cruel to him earlier. ''Ding, The host met the requirements to be a Sacred Astral Healer. Do you want to be a Sacred Astral Healer now? Or do you want to wait for some time? Just as hepletely learned about the Origin paradise, he got the same system notification that reminded him about Sacred Astral Healer. ''Oh. I totally forgot about this thing.'' Ajax shook his head as he looked at Master Elek and Nameless cultivator for a second before informing, "Let''s wait for sometime before entering the Origin Paradise." The thing is, even if he entered into the Origin paradise, his Sacred Astral Space ispletely filled. So, he could not use it. However, Ajax guessed that his Sacred Astral Space might be increased after he became a Sacred Astral Energy. "Okay." Master Elek and Nameless cultivator didn''t have any problem because the reason they gathered here was for the sake of Ajax who wanted Astral Energy. Since he wanted some time, of course, they would not mind waiting for him because Ajax was in a lot of pain for more than half an hour. So, they assumed Ajax wanted some rest. "Thanks." With a polite smile on his face, Ajax thanked them before walking out of the passage. The passage connecting to the outer cave and the origin paradise was quite long and big enough for Ajax to walk without any difficulty. "No problem." Behind Ajax, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator walked out. Compared to Master Elek, Nameless cultivator was greatly excited because of what he gained today. ''First, I will check how that mysterious spirit cultivation technique works in the outer cave. After that, I will enter the secondyer of the origin paradise and truly start cultivating with it.'' Nameless cultivator silently thought in his head as he walked behind Ajax with an excited smile on his face. ''System, I want to be the Sacred Astral Healer. Do it now.'' As soon as he came out of the passage, Ajax found a nice ce on the ground as he sat down without any hesitation before asking the system about bing a Sacred Astral Healer. ''Ding, Awakening the ancient profession "Sacred Astral Healer". Please bear the pain if any. Soon, he got the system notification and Ajax clenched his fists as he waited for the pain to appear. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, all the Cursed Energy around Ajax dispersed far from him as though he was some kind of Anti- Cursed Being. At the same time, his body started shining with two halos as though he was some kind of Celestial being. ''This is...'' Both Master Elek and Nameless Cultivator were surprised at the sudden change around Ajax. *** KingRig, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR **** 5 Golden Tickets = 1 bonus chapter.

Chapter 982: Sacred Astral Core

# Bonus chapter. Master Elek and Nameless cultivator didn''t know what was happening to Ajax; however, they were sure that it was a good thing for Ajax. As for the reason why they thought like that, it was because of Halos. Halos would only appear when something beneficial was happening with the cultivator. Be it in cultivation, learning a new skill, awakening a cultivator''sw or enlightenment into some profession. In each case, it would change the fate of a cultivator for the better. So, they hurriedly moved back for a few steps fearing that they might disturb Ajax. ''Brother Elek, what do you think he will be getting? Is it a skill or increment in cultivation?''After moving back the sufficient distance, Nameless cultivator asked Master Elek about Ajax. Nameless cultivator was very sure that only of those two might be happening to Ajax because enlightenment into some profession in their current location is impossible. As for awakening a cultivator''sw, it was even more impossible for Ajax with his current cultivation. "I think, both." Master Elek looked at Ajax for a few moments before replying to Nameless cultivator with a slight smile on his face. "How can you say that?" Nameless cultivator was surprised at how confident Master Elek was in his reply. So, he asked the reason. ''How many Halos do you see around Ajax?'' ''Two'' ''So, it will be two things Ajax would be getting after he wakes up. The golden coloured energy must be rted to his cultivation and as for the white coloured, it might be some skill regarding Astral Energy. ''Woah. As expected of brother Elek. He is as clever as he used to be 20 years ago.'' The conversation between Master Elek and Nameless cultivator sounded like a conversation between two young men. Master Elek knew that Ajax absorbed a lot of Astral Energy from his Astral Mountain. So, he was not shocked with Ajax awakening a skill rted to Astral Energy. Instead, he was looking forward to Ajax opening his eyes. So that, he could ask what kind of Astral skill he would be awakening. Soon, they continued to discuss more and more about Ajax. Nameless cultivator even stopped circting the mysterious spirit technique given by Ajax''s so-called imaginary master while waiting for Ajax. .... ''Huh? Why am I not feeling any pain.'' While Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were waiting for Ajax to open his eyes, Ajax was tired of waiting for the pain that was supposed to appear long back. Even after waiting for more than 10 minutes, there was no trace of the pain. ''Ding, 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy are consumed to awaken and condense the Sacred Astral Core. All of a sudden, Ajax got a system notification that made his heartache; however, he was not surprised because he knew that bing a Sacred Astral Healer was not as easy as the system sounded. ''System, exin to me about the Sacred Astral Core.'' Controlling his bleeding heart, Ajax asked the system about the Sacred Astral Core. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Core, is something simr to a heart for the Sacred Astral Healer. If someone destroys the Sacred Astral Core, then the cultivator can''t be a Sacred Astral Healer in his entire life no matter what. ''Ding, Also, a Sacred Astral Core will help the cultivators in differentiating between the various grades for a Sacred Astral Core. Just like any other profession, Sacred Astral Healer is also ssified into various grades starting from grade 1. To his question, the system instantly replied with the brief information on Sacred Astral Healer. ''Oh. Looks like this is a very ancient profession.'' After learning more information about the Sacred Astral Healer, Ajax could not help but think how ancient this profession was. There was a myth that, in ancient times, almost all professions have something called Profession heart. For alchemy, it was called Alchemist''s heart, an ancient cksmith or weaponsmith used to have a cksmith''s heart. And for every profession, it was either core or heart respective to that profession. Ajax was able to rte the information he learned today with the stories he heard from Elder Boron as he continued to think about it. ''I wonder how powerful Elder Boron is.'' This was the question that he always had in his head from the time he started cultivating because whatever Elder Boron had said in the form of stories was helping him one way or another. Previously, Ajax thought Elder Boron was a King realm cultivator; however, after meeting? Master Ren, his perspective of cultivation waspletely changed and there were even times, he wondered who was powerful among Master Ren and Elder Boron. ''Anyway, I should stop thinking about it and focus on this Sacred Astral Core.'' Soon, Ajax put an end to his thoughts as he looked into his Sacred Astral Core. ''Woah. Where did this green coloured energye from?'' Currently, the entire Sacred Astral Space ispletely covered in green-coloured gas that surprised Ajax. Astral energy was white in colour and Sacred Energy was Turquoise. Moreover, when they were merged into Sacred Astral Energy, there was another energy that was golden in colour; however. Ajax didn''t have any colour regarding that energy. So, he was surprised when he saw green coloured energy in the Sacred Astral Space. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, he noticed that the green coloured energy which was in a gaseous state moved towards the center like a windstorm before stabilizing at the center. ''Is that the Sacred Astral Core?'' Ajax focused on the center of the Sacred Astral Space and saw a small grain which was green in colour and muttered to himself. ''Ding, Yes. It is the empty shell of the Sacred Astral Core and it will take some time before it bes the true Sacred Astral Core. So, please wait for some time. Even though he didn''t ask the system, it was being nice nowadays. So, it replied to him instantly. **** No gifts **** The next bonus chapter will be released when the book reaches 20 GOLDEN TICKETS.

Chapter 983: Alchemy Genius, Self-Recovery

''Oh'' Ajax nodded his head as he continued to observe the Sacred Astral Core. The green coloured Sacred Astral Energy was slowly entering into the grain-sized core. With each passing second, Ajax could notice that the hollow-grain sized core started filling up with Sacred Astral Energy. Ajax continued to wait while his Sacred Astral Core was filling up with Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a Sacred Astral Healer. It didn''t take much time for his Sacred Astral Core to bepletely filled with Sacred Astral Energy and soon, he got the system notification. ''Finally, I became a Sacred Astral Healer¡­.aargh'' Ajax was unable to control his excitement in the Sacred Astral Space as he loudly shouted making his Sacred Astral Core shake a little. ''Ding, It is detected that the host has multiple professions. ''Ding, Unlocking a new system feature ''Profession Management Tab''. Please check the user interface to know more about it. Before he could control his excitement, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that gave Ajax a pleasant surprise. ''Open.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly opened his user interface and focused on Profession Management Tab. ''Ding, System feature:- Profession Management Tab Use:- Manages the various professions learned by the host and additionally, for each profession, the system feature will give the host a skill or effect respective to that profession. ¡­.. ¡­.. ''What?'' Just after reading the ''Use'' of his new system feature, Ajax was greatly surprised as he hurriedly checked thetter part of the holographic screen. ¡­. ... Professions:- 1) Alchemy (Rank 6 )and 2) Sacred Astral Healer (Rank 1). Skills / Effects:- Alchemy genius:- 60 percent chance of doubling the end product of the refinement. Self-recovery:- If the injuries of the host are minor to moderate, they will be healed within a single day to three days. ''Woah.'' Ajax was shocked for a second before letting out an excited chuckle. ''These two skills will be useful for me in the long run.'' Ajax controlled his excitement as he checked them once again beforeing to a conclusion, ''Maybe, they will be upgraded with my profession in the future.'' There was a reason why he thought like that because among those two skills, ''Alchemy genius'' is the result of a rank 6 profession whereas ''Self-recovery'' is the result of a rank 1 profession. ''If I get such a good skill from the rank 1 Sacred Astral Healer profession, I wonder how powerful it will be in the future when I be a rank 7 or higher? Sacred Astral Healer.'' When he thought about this, Ajax shuddered a little and could not help but think of upgrading the Sacred Astral Healer profession as fast as possible. ''But before that, I have to know about something else.'' Ajax didn''t ask about upgrading the Sacred Astral Profession; instead, he asked the system about the profession itself. ''System, now, tell me about the Sacred Astral Healer.'' Finally, Ajax asked a question that the system was trying to dodge for a while now. ''Ding, There are three types of Healing professions and they are Sacred Healer, Astral Healer and Sacred Astral Healer. ''Ding, Sacred Healer uses Sacred (Turquoise colour) energy to heal the injuries or wounds on the bodies of other cultivators or his own body. ''Ding, Astral Healer uses Astral Energy (White colour) energy to heal the injuries or wounds of the souls of other cultivators but not his own soul. ''Ding, As for the Sacred Astral Healer, he could not only heal the injuries on the bodies of the cultivators but he could even heal the injuries of any soul including his own; however, for that, the cultivator needed to be a high-level Sacred Astral Healer. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of him that exined ssification of healers and their abilities. ''So, an Astral Healer can heal the injuries to the soul? No wonder, I never heard about them.'' After reading theplete information about the healers, Ajax was surprised with the Astral Healer for a second; however, when he thought about Master Elek using Astral Energy to increase his soul cultivation techniques, his surprise disappeared. Moreover, he never heard about Astral Healer in the stories of Elder Boron and only heard about Sacred Healers. As for the Sacred Astral Healer, there was not a single thing about it. ''ording to what I know, there are many cultivators who will enter aatose state amidst their cultivation. With this profession, I can even help them in exchange for some good rewards. Moreover, from now on don''t have to fear any soul cultivators like Master Elek.'' After thinking about the benefits of his new profession and adding to the fact that the new effect might be even more powerful in the future with the increase in the rank of the profession, Ajax was greatly excited. ''However, for everything to happen, the current rank of this profession is not enough. I need to upgrade it to rank 3 or higher. Only then, I can truly make use of it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system, ''System, currently, I am rank 1 Sacred Astral Healer, right? How can I upgrade my rank in this profession?'' In alchemy, he had to learn the essence separation from high-grade ingredients along with the refinement of pills one rank above the current rank to upgrade the rank. As for the Weaponsmity, he had to learn new refinement techniques to refine high-grade weapons. However, he was unable to think of any method to increase the rank of Sacred Astral Healer. ''Also, I have to find a way to increase the Storage for Sacred Astral Space.'' Moreover, there was no change in the Sacred Astral Space, making him a little worried because he wanted to increase it as much as possible. So that he could store as much Astral Energy as possible from the Origin paradise. **** Niscka and cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA.

Chapter 984: Granting Kiss

''Ding, Unlike other professions, the levelling up for a Sacred Astral Healer will be unique as the upgrading method changes with each rank the Sacred Astral Healer progresses. ''Oh'' Ajax was already expecting some unique upgrading method; however, he didn''t expect that the method would change for every rank. While he was thinking about it, he got another system notification. ''Ding, The host can be a rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer by increasing the Sacred Astral Space from 100 to 1000. ''What? 1000? That is crazy.'' Even though Ajax still didn''t know how to increase the storage space of his Sacred Astral Space, he knew it would not be as easy as it seemed. ''Ding, Upgrading the Sacred Astral Space is very easy. With each unit of Sacred Astral Energy, the system can help the host in expanding the Sacred Astral Space by the same unit. The system was a lot more activepared to before and it was exined in detail without much hassle. ''What the hell? So, I have to spend 900 units of Sacred Astral Energy?just to increase the Sacred Astral Space?'' He could not help but clutch his heart as he once again read the system notification only to reveal a better smile on his face. Ajax was already having trouble filling 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy in his space; however, the system is asking me to fill the Sacred Astral Space and increase the storage by consuming Sacred Astral Energy. ''At this rate, I am going to be in the rank 1 Sacred Astral Healer for a long time.'' With a bitter smile on his face, Ajax shook his head. ''It is really funny how my needs change within just a day.'' Until yesterday, he thought he wascking Astral Energy; however, all of a sudden, the situation is reversed. Now, he has an ''Astral Moss Branch'' for passive umtion of Astral Energy and the main source would be, of course, the Origin Paradise. However, the problem is, where should he find Sacred Energy? ''With the 500 units of Sacred Energy that were stored in the ''Tree of blessing'', I can increase it by 500 units; however, after that, his Sacred Astral Space will be devoid of Sacred Astral Energy.'' Earlier, when they were in the Sacred Pool, Ajax upgraded the ''Tree of blessing'' to Legend grade'' by using 50 units of Sacred Astral Energy. Along with the ''Astral Moss Branch'', it even unlocked the storage space for Sacred Energy that could hold 500 units of it. ''I think if I upgrade that tree to Mythical grade, I might get a Sacred Energy generation branch or something simr to it along with Astral Energy storage space.'' Ajax''s thoughts came from the previous benefits he got from upgrading the ''Tree of Blessing''. Earlier, he got an Astral Energy generation branch and Sacred Energy storage. So, he was hoping they would change when he upgraded the Tree of blessing in the future. However, the cruel reality was that he needed 5000 units of Sacred Astral Energy to upgrade it to Mythical grade. For that, he needed to upgrade his storage to 1000 units which were equivalent to bing a rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer. ''Sigh...I will just upgrade my current storage by 100 or 200 units and store the remaining units of Sacred Energy forter use.'' Soon, Ajax came to a conclusion on what he had to do. ''Gloria, give me 100 units of Sacred Energy.'' Since his previous Sacred Astral Energy waspletely used up in the formation of Sacre Astral Core, he had to fill it up. So, he once again had to repeat the process of gathering 100 units of Sacred Energy and 100 units of Astral Energy before merging them into Sacred Astral Energy. ''Send them right away.'' In the inner world, Gloria received Ajax''s order and soon, she saw Ajax appear in front of the ''Tree of blessing.'' ''Swoosh'' After she finished her words, she jumped out of the ''Tree of blessing'' and kissed Ajax on his forehead. ''What?'' Ajax didn''t expect a kiss from Gloria as he looked at the young girl in front of him with a confused look. ''Okay, master. I am going back to rest.'' With a bright smile on her face, Gloria rushed into the ''Tree of blessing''; however, the moment she turned back her face turned bright red like a tomato. "Hey, Wai.." Before he could finish his words, Gloria disappeared into the tree which made Ajax shake his head before thinking, ''Looks like she has less interaction with the opposite gender than me.'' How could he not notice that Gloria was too shy to turn back to face him? So, he didn''t bother ordering her toe out of the tree. ''Ding, The host received a granting kiss from the spirit of the ''Tree of blessing''. ''Ding, The tree spirit Gloria gave permission to the host to take as many units of Sacred Energy the host wants from the tree''s energy storage space. However, his confusion got cleared with the two system notifications that came right after Gloria disappeared into the tree. ''Oh¡­.Excellent.'' Once he understood why she kissed him; Ajax became excited as he asked the system, ''System, fill the Sacred Energy Quota in the Sacred Astral Space.'' Since the current Sacred Energy Space waspletely empty, he could fill exactly 100 units of both Sacred Energy and Astral Energy. So, he asked the system for only 100 units of Sacred Energy. ''Ding, Absorbing the 100 units ofo Sacred Energy from the ''Tree of blessing''. Please wait for a few minutes until the absorption ispleted. ''Ding, A permanent link between the host''s Sacred Energy Space and Tree of blessing''s storage space is established. ''Ding, From now on, the host can directly order the system to absorb the required units of Sacred Energy from the tree. After receiving the system notifications, Ajax came out of his inner world; however, he didn''t open his eyes. **** Melville, thanks for the Ice C.

Chapter 985: [Bonus Chapter]Transfering Sacred Energy from Gloria

''I will wait until the Sacred Energy quota in the Sacred Astral Space is filled.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax waited with his eyes closed. Also, he didn''t forget to circte his level 3 Heaven and earth refining technique to absorb Astral Energy around him. Even though he could get abundant Astral Energy once he entered the Origin paradise, he didn''t want to waste any time because as soon as hepletely filled his Sacred Astral Space, he would start his ''World-destruction mission''. ''Ding, The system detected a Pure Cursed Energy in the host''s surroundings. Please make contact with it, to instantly absorb everything. ''Ding, Absorbing through contact will not waste a single unit of energy. ''Huh?'' While Ajax was thinking about his future ns while circting his cultivation technique for Cursed Energy and waiting for Sacred Energy to be filled in the Sacred Astral Space, he received two system notifications making him raise his eyebrows. ''System, can''t you just absorb the Cursed Energy into my body?'' Ajax was still new to the transfer of Sacred Energy from the ''Tree of blessing'' to his spirit consciousness. So, he didn''t want to stand up until the transfer waspleted. So, he asked the system to just absorb Cursed Energy from the nearby source. Even though he knew there would be some loss, Ajax was willing to take it because, right now, he didn''t bother about Astral Energy after knowing about Origin paradise. ''Ding, Currently, the source is more than 20 meters away from the host. At least 60 percent of Cursed Energy will be lost in the middle. ''Ding, Do you still want the system to absorb it? This time the system exined Ajax in a more detailed way making Ajax a little surprised. ''What? 60 percent? That is too much to lose.'' Even though he thought he should not worry about Astral Energy, that didn''t mean he could waste it carelessly. So, he thought for a moment. ''System, how much time is left for the 100 units of Sacred Energy to transfer?'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked the system about it. ''Ding, 10 more minutes. ''Okay then. I will wait.'' Ajax was not in a hurry and he was not worried about missing the source of Cursed Energy because he got a rough guess about what the system was talking about. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 10 minutes as Ajax finally got the system notification he was waiting for. ''Ding, 100 units of Sacred Energy are sessfully transferred to the host''s Sacred Astral Space. ''Finally, it''s done.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief with the system notification and asked the system, ''System, show me the details of Sacred Astral Space.'' He felt he had to check it to see how much Cursed Energy he had umted through the Heaven and earth refining technique. ''Ding, Secondary space:- Sacred Astral Space. Storage:- 0 units / 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. Sub storage:- 1) 100 units / 100 units of Sacred Energy. 2)? 0.06 units / 100 units of Astral Energy. Note:- 0.06 units of Astral Energy = 6 units of Cursed Energy. Soon, the brief information about the Sacred Astral Space appeared in front of him. ''What? I got 6 units of Cursed Energy in less than 15 minutes?'' Ajax was not surprised about Sacred Energy, he was surprised at Cursed Energy. ''Ding, The shadow clone of the host sent three units of Cursed Energy. ''Oh, right! I totally forgot about him.'' After hearing thetest system notification, Ajax understood where he got that many units of Cursed Energy. ''Let''s absorb the dense Astral Energy from the nearby source.'' Finally, Ajax opened his eyes as he stood up from the ground. "Ajax, you awoke from the enlightenment state already?" The moment he stood up, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator rushed towards Ajax with a surprised look on their face before asking him. ''Huh? They thought I was in an enlightened state until now?'' Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face before nodding his head. Since the Sacred Astral Healer is an ancient profession, Ajax decided to keep it a secret following Captain Edmond''s advice. Moreover, if there was any need for a Healer for anyone around him, he thought to use his profession by saying that he was a respective healer like either Astral Healer or Sacred Healer. "Tell us what did you gain?" Seeing Ajax nod his head, Nameless cultivator asked about Ajax''s gains from his recent awakening. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at Nameless cultivator''s curiosity as he asked about what did Ajax awaken from his earlier enlightenment. "Brother Nameless, it is not good to carelessly ask others about their enlightenment carelessly." Master Elek noticed that Ajax was speechless at Nameless cultivator''s question and soon, he changed his facial expression from curiosity to nonchnt before replying to Nameless cultivator. "What?" Nameless cultivator was shocked by the sudden change in Master Elek''s attitude and could not help but be angry. Even though he didn''t interact much with regr cultivators or people for more than 20 years, he knew that Master Elek was being two-faced now. "Brother Elek, didn''t you ask me to ask about Ajax''s gains from the earlier enlightenment? What are you saying now? Should I ask him or should I not ask him? Give me one rification." Why would Nameless cultivator back down? He put an innocent look on his half-corroded face before asking Master Elek. ''What?'' This time, it was Master Elek''s turn to get a shock as he looked for a Nameless cultivator to say something; however, he didn''t know what to say. So, he didn''t say anything before bitterly shaking his head. "You two seniors don''t need to fight, I will say." Ajax didn''t feel those two are seniors at all; instead, they were little kids who were arguing for an ice c. "Really?" Both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator became excited as they looked at Ajax with sparkling eyes. ***** KingRig, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. cageraymortal, thanks for ICE COLA X 3. **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 150 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 986: Source of Cursed Energy

"I awakened a skill called ''Self-recovery''." Without wasting any time, Ajax directly informed them about the Self-recovery ability he gained from the new system feature. At the same time, he made a small cut on his palm. ''Swoosh'' Within a few seconds, the bleeding stopped and after a minute or so, the light cut on Ajax''s palm started healing at a speed where normal eyes could see. ''I can''t say about the Sacred Astral Healer. At least for now.'' Of course, when decided to say what he gained in the earlier enlightenment, Ajax was not going to tell about the Sacred Astral Healer "Isn''t it rted to Sacred Energy?" Master Elek replied to Ajax with a surprised look on his face. "Yes, Master Elek. I had gained a little enlightenment in Sacred Pool and now, I am finally able to awaken a skill rting to that energy." Why would Ajax reject Master Elek''s words? So, he directly nodded his head. "Excellent." Master Elek knew how valuable the skill was. So, he was happy for Ajax before looking at Nameless cultivator and said, "When he gains more enlightenment in that skill, he could even regenerate his body parts without any problem." "I know that." Nameless cultivator also nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, The system detected a Cursed Energy Source beside the host. Touch the source to instantly absorb all Cursed Energy. All of a sudden, the same system notification from earlier appeared in his head making Ajax raise his brows. ''It looks like my guess is right! The source of the so-called Cursed Energy is none other than Senior Nameless.'' Looking at the Nameless cultivator, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''System, if I absorb all the Cursed Energy from Senior Nameless, will it cause any harm to him?'' Ajax didn''t touch Nameless cultivator directly; instead, he asked the system whether something would happen to Nameless cultivator if I absorb all the Cursed Energy. ''Ding, It will not harm Nameless cultivators in any way except for a little pain. ''Pain?'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the system''s initial words; however, when he saw ''Little pain'', Ajax could not help but frown a little. ording to the system, a little pain means it would be as painful as breaking all the bones in the body. So, he hesitated a little to whether to absorb the Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator. Because he already found a stable source of Astral Energy. So, there was no need for him to cause pain for Nameless cultivator just for some units of Cursed Energy. ''Ding, Once all the Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator is removed, he can be a normal human with the same cultivation. ''What?'' Ajax got shocked when he heard the system''s words in his head as he looked at the half-corroded face of Nameless cultivator. ''System, exin to me properly.'' Controlling his emotions, Ajax asked the system to give the full information. Even though he got the basic information, Ajax wanted to know more about it. ''Ding, The Cursed Energy in the Nameless cultivator and his cursed army has be so pure and powerful that it is not allowing him to be a normal human despite trying all the avable methods. ''Ding, However, the host can absorb the purest Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body which would not only benefit the host in getting more number units for Cursed Energy but it will also help Nameless cultivator in bing a normal human. To his reply, the system sent two notifications that helped Ajax understand everything. ''Excellent.'' Ajax was still unable to believe that he could help Nameless cultivator be a normal human again. At the same time, he was feeling excited because he could help someone who lived away from the humans for more than 20 years. ''Let''s see how many units of Cursed Energy I will get from him.'' Since the system had said that he could instantly absorb the Cursed Energy, he was guessing how many units he would get. With that thought in his mind, Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he took two steps towards Nameless cultivator. "Senior Nameless, close your eyes." Ajax didn''t bother wasting time by saying everything; instead, he directly asked Nameless cultivator to close his eyes. "As long as you endure the pain, I can turn you back into a human form." At the same time, Ajax remembered the pain that the Nameless cultivator had to go through. So, he briefly informed Nameless cultivator about it. ''What?'' Both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were shocked by Ajax''s words as they looked at each others'' faces. ''Brother Elek, can I trust Ajax?'' Nameless cultivator didn''t know much about Ajax; however, he didn''t want to sound rude by directly rejecting Ajax''s offer because Ajax had a powerful master and anything could be possible with Ajax. Moreover, what made Nameless cultivator restless was, Ajax''s master had already given him a mysterious spirit cultivation technique. And ording to the old man, it would take at least 10 years for him to be a normal human; however, now, Ajax was saying that he would instantly turn him into a human with a little pain. So, he was confused about who he should believe. ''Since Ajax was looking confident, maybe he might have found something. ording to what I know, Ajax was not a person that would carelessly say things. So, he must have something for his confidence.'' Master Elek didn''t reply to Nameless cultivator instantly; instead, he looked at Ajax''s face for a few moments before replying to him. ''Okay. I will give him a chance then.'' Once he got the confirmation from Master Elek, Nameless cultivator decided to give Ajax a chance in helping him. "I will endure it." Nameless cultivator nodded his head and readied himself for the pain that woulde soon.

''System, do your thing.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax silently ordered the system to absorb the Pure Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body while cing his hand on Nameless cultivator''s chest. Even if Nameless cultivator didn''t agree to let him touch, Ajax would have used the force to absorb the Pure Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body. It was not for the Pure Cursed Energy; instead, Ajax wanted to help Nameless cultivator to be a normal human. ''Ding, Establishing a transfer link between the host''s Sacred Astral Space and Nameless cultivator''s body. ''Ding, Please wait for some time. Soon, Ajax received the system notifications asking him to wait whereas Nameless cultivator had already closed his eyes and waited for the so-called pain. ''Ding, Sessfully established the transfer link. From now on the host can absorb the Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body just with a thought. Soon, a couple of minutes passed, making Nameless cultivator a little impatient. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked with thetest system notification because he didn''t expect that he could absorb the Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator in the future. ''I just have to ask him a favour when I need the Cursed Energy and absorb it into my body in case of an emergency.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know how the system was able to connect Nameless cultivator to his Sacred Astral Space, Ajax was satisfied and excited about it. ''I guess, I will not have much use for this thing but still, in case of emergencies, I could always rely on it.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he looked at Nameless cultivator with a satisfied smile on his face. ''Huh?'' As for Master Elek, looking at Ajax''s excited smile, he frowned and thought, ''Why is he so excited? Don''t tell me, he is...'' Master Elek didn''t dare toplete his sentence as he shook his head while removing his thoughts. ''But what if he is really that type?'' Master Elek was unable to remove those thoughts and finally decided, ''I think, I will better maintain some distance from that kid.'' With that thought in his mind, Master Elek unconsciously stepped back. ''System, didn''t you say, it will take a single second to transfer? Why is it taking so long?'' As for Ajax, he didn''t have the slightest clue that Master Elek misunderstood something about it; instead, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The Cursed Energy in his body is much purer and powerful than the system assumed but don''t worry, the system has sessfully tamed it. ''Oh.'' Ajax was surprised for a moment and before he could ask the system anything, he received a series of system notifications. ''Ding, 10000 units of Cursed Energy is absorbed from Nameless cultivator''s body. ''Ding, 10000 units of Cursed Energy is converted into 100 units ofo Astral Energy. ''Ding, Merging 100 units of Astral Energy with 100 units of Sacred Energy into 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, The host''s Sacred Astral Space ispletely filled. Please upgrade it. ''Woah'' Ajax didn''t expect that he would get 10000 units of Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator. So, he was surprised for a moment. ''Aargh'' However, he came out of his surprise by the painful groans of Nameless cultivator. "Brother Nameless." Master Elek hurriedly rushed towards Nameless cultivator as he called Nameless cultivator''s name with a concerned look on his face. Nameless cultivator''s groans continued for a couple of minutes before fell to the ground without making any noise. "Ajax?" Master Elek was unable to send his spirit consciousness form into Namelss cultivator to check his condition because his spirit consciousness form might be corroded. So, he could only look at Ajax with an expectant look. ''Slur'' Before Ajax could give any reply, there were some changes happening on Nameless cultivator''s face. The half-corroded face of Nameless cultivator started bing normal just like how it used to be in the past except it looked a little old. Compared to the other vagrant cultivators, Nameless cultivator was the youngest one. Moreover, because of the Cursed Energy, even though his body might have corroded, it slowed down his age. So, currently, Nameless cultivator looked like a middle-aged man. The changes started from the face before spreading all over the body. "He will be fine." After seeing the apparent changes in Nameless cultivator, Ajax replied with a slight smile. ''System, increase the Sacred Astral Space by 100 units.'' At the same time, he gave the order to the system to upgrade his Sacred Astral Space. Since he didn''t have a good way to spend his Sacred Astral Energy, he could only use it to upgrade the storage space and reach one step closer to bing a rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer. Moreover, he had already nned to increase the storage by at least 300 units. So, there was no hesitation in Ajax while giving that order to the system. ''Ding, Upgrading the Sacred Astral Space by 100 units. Please endure the pain thatsts for one minute. Soon, Ajax got a system notification informing him about the upgrade. ''Aargh'' Before Ajax could ready himself for the pain, a sharp pain appeared in the center of his chest that made Ajax groan. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading his Sacred Astral Space by 100 units. ''Ding, The current storage space for Sacred Astral Space is 200 units. The painsted for only less than a minute; however, Ajax felt the painsted for years. ''Damn it. System, can''t you wait for a minute?'' Ajax could only shout at the system before ordering it, ''System, absorb the 200 units of Sacred Energy from Gloria.'' Since his Sacred Astral Space is empty again, Ajax wanted to fill it back with both Sacred Energy and Astral Energy. ''Sacred Energy from Gloria and Astral Energy from Origin paradise.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax looked at Nameless cultivator; however, his smile froze in the middle. ****** Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the ICE COLA x 3.

''System, why didn''t he be normal?'' Ajax was shocked to see that the Nameless cultivator still didn''t turn back into human form. His face was still corroded. However,pared to before it was less corroded. ''Ding, The host didn''t absorb theplete Pure Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator due to insufficient storage space earlier. ''Ding, Do you want me to absorb more Cursed Energy from his body? Soon, the system exined the reason why Nameless cultivator didn''t turn back to human despite the fact that Ajax absorbed 10000 units of Cursed Energy. At the same time, the system asked Ajax whether it should absorb more Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body. ''Fill my Sacred Astral Space with 200 units of Astral Energy.'' Ajax didn''t even think for a second before giving that order to the system. He had already said that he was going to turn Nameless cultivator back into a human. So, how could he leave Nameless cultivator in the middle? Moreover, since the transfer link had been already connected between him and Nameless cultivator, Ajax could directly absorb all the energy from Nameless cultivator with a single thought. ''Ding, 20000 units of Cursed Energy converted into 200 units of Astral Energy and stored in Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, It is detected that there is not enough Sacred Energy. Merging the Energies in equal ratios. ''Ding, +100 units of Sacred Astral Enegy is convereted. Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with the system notifications. ''What? 20000 units of Cursed Energy?'' Ajax was shocked after seeing the first system notification as he silently thought in his head, ''Just how pure is the Cursed Energy in his body?'' Earlier, he got 10000 units and now, it was 20000 units of Cursed Energy. Just thinking about it was making Ajax shocked. ''Ding, There are still 10000 units of Cursed Energy left in Nameless cultivator''s body. As long as it is removed, he will be a normal human. ''Ding, Spend 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy to help Nameless cultivator be a normal human. ''What?'' Ajax was already with the number of units of Cursed Energy he got from Nameless cultivator''s body and with the recent system notification, he felt Nameless cultivator was truly a monster to store that much of Pure Cursed Energy. ''Sigh...I will just increase the storage space by another 200 units.'' After thinking for some time, Ajax sighed beforeing to a decision to increase his Sacred Astral Space by another 200 units making it reach 400 units. ''Ding, +100 units of Sacred Energy is added to the host''s Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, Merging those 100 units of Sacred Energy with the remaining 100 units of Astral Energy. ''Ding, +100 units of Sacred Astral Energy added to the host''s Sacred Astral Space. While he was thinking that, another 100 units of Sacred Energy were added to his storage space. Compared to the transfer of Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator, the transfer of Sacred Energy is very slow. ''Finally, I have 200 units of Sacred Astral Energy. System, increase the storage of the Sacred Astral Space to 400 units.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax gave the same order to the system and within no time, he got the system notification. ''Ding, The host''s Sacre Astral Space is increased to 400 units. Currently, he has zero units of Sacred Astral Energy. Please fill it up with something because the host might need it at any time in the future. ''Okay okay.'' Ajax nodded his head as he ordered the system to collect thest 200 units of Sacred Energy from Gloria and at the same time asked it to start the process of absorbing the remaining 10000 units of Cursed Energy. ''Ding, +10000 units of Cursed Energy added to the host''s Sacred Astral Space. Just like thatst time, the system instantly transferred thest remaining units of Cursed Energy from Nameless cultivator''s body. As for Sacred Energy, Ajax knew it would take some time.? So, he didn''t bother with it; instead, he looked at Nameless cultivator as he walked towards him. "Ajax, you did it." Seeing that Ajax was walking towards them, Master Elek excitedly replied to Ajax while holding the unconscious Nameless cultivator in his hands. That''s right! Nameless cultivator became unconscious just after Ajax absorbed 20000 units of Cursed Energy from his body; however, Ajax got the confirmation that even if Nameless cultivator could not bear the pain, nothing will happen to him except for bing unconscious for some time. "Looks like that method worked." Ajax nodded his head as he stopped right beside Master Elek. "What method, Ajax? Did your master teach you that?" Master Elek asked Ajax with an excited smile on his face. "Yes." Ajax simply nodded his head and didn''t bother to exin more because the more he talked about the imaginary character, the more loopholes he would leave for others to find that something was wrong. So, Ajax remained silent until he got a system notification. ''Ding, 200 units of Sacred Energy added to the host''s Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, 100 units converted into Sacred Astral? Energy and the host still has 100 units of Sacred Energy lying idle in the Sacred Energy quota of the Sacred Energy. ''Good.'' Ajax slightly nodded his head. Currently, Ajax didn''t have any n to upgrade it because if he spent all the Sacred Energy, then he would only have the high storage space but nothing inside it. Moreover, he still had to absorb either 10000 units of Cursed Energy or 100 units of Astral Energy. "Brother Elek." Soon, Nameless cultivator opened his eyes as he called out Master Elek''s name. "Brother Nameless, I am here." Master Elek replied with great excitement and with his misty eyes that might cry anytime. "Why are you crying, Brother Elek?" "See for yourself." Master Elek didn''t answer; instead, he summoned a huge mirror and asked Nameless cultivator to check for himself. ''Th..this is...'' ****** Next target for bonus chapter:- 300 Golden Tickets.

''Th..this is...me?'' Nameless cultivator opened his eyes with much difficulty as he looked at the image in the mirror and was shocked. ''How...long...has...it...been?'' Soon, Nameless cultivator started crying as he remembered the face that he was seeing in the mirror. If he didn''t know it was a mirror, then he would have thought it was not him because after staying in this Cursed Heaven for more than two decades, he even forgot how he looked except for a vague image in his head. "Don''t cry." Master Elek still remembered the innocence of a young man that wanted to join their group of vagrants and his eyes could not help but turn misty. "Finally, you cane out of this Cursed Heaven and leave with the regr human." Master Elek noticed that Ajax was looking at him and hurriedly controlled his emotions as he said to Nameless cultivator. "Yes. I can finally go out.'' Nameless cultivator hurriedly stood up from the ground with some difficulty and walked towards Ajax, "It''s all thanks to you, young master. For the next 100 years, I will follow you and take care of your enemies." All of a sudden, Nameless cultivator bowed in front of Ajax as he said to him. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked as he didn''t understand how such a powerful cultivator was willing to be a follower of a young man who had less cultivationpared to his. "Senior Nameless, you are..." "Ajax, just ept it. Once he makes up his mind, it is very hard to change." Before Ajax could finish his words, Master Elek interrupted Ajax as he asked him to ept Nameless cultivator as his follower. Since Nameless cultivator has to protect Ajax for the next 100 years, why don''t he be his follower? That was the only thought in both Master Elek and Nameless cultivator''s heads. ''Even though I helped him be a normal human, isn''t it a little too much for him to be my follower?'' As for Ajax, he was having mixed thoughts in his head. ''Ding, Do you want to ept Nameless cultivators as your follower? While he was thinking about whether he should ept Nameless cultivator as his follower or not, he got a system notification. ''Sigh...now, I can reject it.'' Even though Ajax was about toe to a conclusion of epting Nameless cultivator as his follower before he got the system notification, his decision was fixed after seeing the system notification. Because every time he epts a follower, he would be rewarded with a special gift box by the system. The reward would be increased if the follower he epted was having some special qualities like ''Cultivation talent'' ''Loyalty'', ''Cultivation'' and other things. "You can follow me from now onwards." Ajax replied to the system and Nameless cultivator at the same time. "Thank you, young master." Since Ajax was so much younger than him, Nameless cultivator called him ''Young master''. ''Ding, A special reward box is sent to the host''s inventory. Do you want to open it? At the same time, Ajax received a reply from the system also that informed him about the reward. ''Good. I will check it when I am alone.'' Ajax had high hopes for it because thest time by epting Darbaudr as his follower, Ajax got a chance to enter the Five elemental world. Compared to Darbaudr''s cultivation when he epted him as his follower, Nameless cultivation was much higher and moreover, his affinity with Cursed Energy had grown to a very high level. From all these facts, Ajax was expecting a good reward from the special reward box. "Shall we enter the Origin paradise now?" After epting Nameless cultivator as his follower, Ajax noticed that Nameless cultivator was very excited. So, he let him keep that excitement for some time before asking about moving into Origin paradise. "Sure, young master." Since his young master ordered him, Nameless cultivator didn''t dare to neglect it before politely nodding his head. Soon, Ajax, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator walked towards the same passage they entered earlier. ''...'' All of a sudden, Nameless cultivator stopped in his tracks. "What happened, Brother Nameless? Are you feeling unwell?" Master Elek was concerned about Nameleess cultivator as he hurriedly rushed towards him. "I am perfectly alright thanks to the young master." Nameless cultivator shook his head as he turned towards Master Elek as he continued, "Young master, if you don''t mind, can I request you something?" ''Huh?'' Ajax didn''t understand what Nameless cultivator wanted from him now; however, he asked, "You can ask me." As long as it was within his power, Ajax didn''t mind helping his followers because in theing days, he would be relying on them. ''Everyone,e out.'' Once he got the permission from Ajax, Nameless cultivator summoned his cursed army. ''Roar'' Soon, 12 corroded spirit beasts and two corroded humans appeared before Nameless cultivator. "Can you help them be normal too? If you can''t, it is also not a problem. I will try some other method." Nameless cultivator was very polite while saying those words because he didn''t want Ajax to misunderstand that he wanted to rely on Ajax for everything. Actually, there was a way for him to turn them back to their human forms and it was with the help of the mysterious spirit cultivation technique that the old man gave him earlier, he could do it. However, with the help of that method, it would take at least 10 years. So, if Ajax could help them, it would be over within a second. ''But I still don''t know the consequences for what the young man did with me.'' Nameless cultivator was still wondering how Ajax was able to help him be a normal human and what were the consequences that Ajax had to face? But still, he asked Ajax to help them because his cursed army was with him for more than a decade. So, he wanted Ajax to help them. **** No gifts **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 990: Soul Space

''Huh?'' As for Ajax, after hearing Nameless cultivator''s request, he raised his brows before asking, "Aren''t they already dead?" Ajax raised his eyebrows not because he didn''t want to help them; instead, he was surprised at Nameless cultivator''s request. "No, young monster. They are just like me who got affected by the Cursed Energy." Nameless cultivator lost all his hope when he saw the frowned look on Ajax''s face. However, when he heard Ajax''s question, he felt the lost hope hade back again. "Really?" Ajax was shocked by Nameless cultivator''s words as he slowly walked towards the corroded beings. ''System, can I turn them back to normal humans?'' Ajax silently asked the system regarding the corroded beings in front of him. The reason why Ajax asked the system about it was that the corroded beings in front of him were looking lifeless, unlike Nameless cultivator who was still able to maintain his consciousness even after turning into a half-corroded being. Moreover, the system didn''t even say anything about absorbing the Cursed Energy from their body. So, Ajax felt not so confident in turning them back to humans. ''Ding, Pleasee into contact with each one of them for the system to analyze more about it. ''Sure'' Nodding his head, Ajax chose the nearest corroded being that was a human who had half-torn robes of the Fire sword sect. Soon, he lightly tapped all the corroded beings. So that the system couldplete its analysis. ''Ding, The system detected that their souls werepletely corroded. Absorbing the Cursed Energy from their bodies might kill them. The system is sure about 90 percent of its analysis. ''What? Souls are also corroded?'' Ajax finally understood something from thetest system notification. Nameless cultivator was only half-corroded because he was able to stop the Cursed Energy from corroding his soul; however, these corroded beings were unable to control it andpletely turned into fully corroded beings. ''System, are there no other ways I can help them?'' Ajax frowned as he asked the system about other ways. ''If there are no other ways, then I will just go with my usual method.'' Living as a corroded being hell for anyone. Even though the fully corroded beings can''t think much, deep down they wanted to die; however, because of the corroded energy, no matter what they do, they can''t be killed unless the Cursed Energy seeping into their souls was cleansed. ''Ding, The host can use his new profession ''Sacred Astral Healer'' to heal the soul while absorbing the Cursed Energy; however, it will be quite taxing for the host''s soul. ''Excellent.'' However, Ajax was excited because he could finally use his new profession and silently thought in his head, ''Finally, I can see how powerful and useful it will be.'' As for the system''s warning of being quite taxing on his soul, Ajax took it lightly. ''Who should I choose first?'' Aftering to the conclusion of testing his new profession, Ajax started thinking about whom he should choose. ''I will try with this Cursed Ape.'' Ajax didn''t want to experiment on the two humans directly because if he failed, it might cause death for them. For Ajax, killing spirit beasts was not a new thing; however, he never killed any human who had done nothing to him. After choosing his target, Ajax walked towards the huge ape-like spirit beast. ''System, what should I do now?'' Ajax asked the system after he reached the huge ape-like spirit beast. ''Ding, The host just has to ce his hand on the spirit beast and think of looking into the spirit beast''s soul. ''Ding, Once the host can sessfully look into the spirit beast''s soul, the system will slowly absorb the Cursed Energy while the host has to use Sacred Astral Energy to heal the marks left by the Cursed Energy. In two system notifications, the system exined everything that Ajax had to do. "Endure the pain." Once he got to know what he had to do, Ajax replied to the huge ape-like before following the process. Even though Ajax said that the corroded ape didn''t say anything. Its lifeless eyes were looking into the distance which made Ajax shake his head with a bitter smile on his face. Ajax nodded his head and took a deep breath before cing his hand on the spirit beast before thinking of looking into the spirit beast''s soul. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Ajax appeared in an endless space. ''Th...this is...'' Ajax looked at his surroundings as his eyes fell on a small transparent silhouette in the distance. ''Ding, This is the soul space of the spirit beast that the host touched earlier. ''Soul space? Isn''t it only opened by King realm cultivators or beings? How can peak rank? 6 spirit beast have it?'' Ajax was shocked by the system notification as he asked the system. ording to what he learned from Elder Boron and in his cultivation journey, only King realm beings would have it because only then their cultivator''sw would be turned into a soul and the soul space would be unlocked. So, of course, he was shocked when a? peak rank 6 spirit beast opened a soul space. ''Ding, The host is wrong about it. Every creature in this world or even in the smaller world will have a soul space; however, to get ess to it, they have to create another soul from their cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Once the cultivator''s soul enters into the soul space, it will be merged with the soul which is called the main soul and that has already existed in the Soul Space from the birth of the being. ''What? So, everyone has a soul space from the time they are born.'' Ajax was shocked for a moment before bing excited and asked, ''So, I can enter others'' soul space without any problem?'' **** Niscka, Zachary_Ross_9246, Jame_Daniel, cageraymortal and Questionunable, thanks for the ICE COLAs. **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 300 Golden Tickets (only 8 more to reach).

''Ding, Yes, but everytime, he enters into someone''s soul space, it would continuously push your consciousness out of it. Moreover, staying long in someone''s soul space will make your soul weak for some time. ''So, this is what you warned me about. Don''t worry, I will not stay for long here.'' Ajax understood why the system informed him earlier that his soul would also take a toll from jumping from one soul space to another. Soon, after that, he looked at the soul in the distance and moved towards it. The soul was in the shape of a monkey that was small and cute; however, its white body was covered by some grey-coloured thing as though it was corroded. ''Human, please kill me. I can''t endure this pain any longer.'' Once he moved towards the small monkey, it opened its eyes and requested Ajax to kill it. Even though it was shocked by the sudden appearance of a human''s spirit consciousness in its domain, the monkey was not in a mood to fight. "Don''t worry, I am going to help you be a normal spirit beast." Ajax knew it was the monkey who spoke in his head. So, he tried to give hope to the soul of the ape. ''...'' The ape''s soul was unable to believe Ajax''s words; however, it didn''t say anything and allowed Ajax to do whatever he wanted to do. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax hugged the ape''s soul and silently muttered, ''Sacred Astral Energy, heal it.'' Even though he spoke like he ordered the Sacred Astral Energy, it was Ajax who controlled the Sacred Astral Energy which came out of his spirit consciousness form and covered the ape''s soul. ''Ding, Host, please hold the ape''s soul as tightly as possible. The pain it is going to suffer when the system separates the Cursed Energy from it, will be very painful. ''Aagh'' Just as the system sent him the system notification, the ape''s soul in his arms started groaning painfully. ''Damn it. Is it already started?'' Ajax cursed as he tightly held the monkey in his arms. ''Better it works; otherwise, all my effort will be gone for nothing.'' Even though it looked like Ajax was doing nothing, he felt a slight pain in his spirit consciousness form and at the same time, his intuition was continuously asking him to leave the soul space. ''I can''t leave in the middle.'' Ajax shook his head as he continued to hold the monkey in his arms. ¡­ In the cave, ''Roar'' The huge ape fell to the ground and started roaring; however, for some reason, Ajax''s hand was attached to the spirit beast''s body. Along with the spirit beast''s body, Ajax''s body was also rolling. "Brother Nameless, let''s hold it." When he saw that Ajax''s hand was attached to the spirit beast''s body, Master Elek thought of something and hurriedly shouted at Nameless cultivator. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Nameless cultivator didn''t ask anything because he also felt something was not right and followed Master Elek before holding the huge spirit beast to the ground. So that Ajax could have a better focus on what he was doing. ''Everyone,e here and help us.'' Since they were both Peak elite general realm cultivators, they were about to hold it; however, to be on the safe side, Nameless cultivator ordered the other corroded beings to help them. Once all the corroded beings helped them, it was very easy to stop the huge spirit beast from moving its body any longer. "Brother Elek, what is it?" Once the huge ape came under their control, Nameless cultivator asked Master Elek about something. "I think Ajax knows some kind of Soul technique that can heal others'' souls. From the looks of it, all these corroded beings'' souls were corroded by the Cursed Energy and Ajax was trying to forcefully separate the Cursed Energy at the same time he was healing their souls." With an excited look on his face, Master Elek replied to Nameless cultivator that made him shiver a little. Healing a soul? Isn''t it very hard? These were the thoughts in Nameless cultivator''s head. "He might be an Astral Healer; however, to do two things at the same time and moreover, it is very hard to heal the soul that was corroded by the Cursed Energy. Maybe, it is a very high-grade Astral Healer." "However, at his current age, it was already a great achievement for being rank 1 Astral Healer. It looks like he has an extraordinary talent. No wonder, he was able to be the personal disciple of a powerful cultivator." . .. ... Master Elek said the difficulties and opportunities and everything he knew and everything he felt about Ajax to Nameless cultivator. Inside the huge ape''s soul space. ''Ding, Consumed two units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Congrats to the host for sessfully healing a soul. ''Ding, For spending two units of Sacred Astral Energy, the host will gain two units of storage upgrade in his Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, Since it was the host''s first time healing a soul, he will be rewarded with 100 units of storage upgrade in his Sacred Astral Space. In the soul space, Ajax was tightly holding the monkey in his arms and he only removed his hands around it, with the series of system notifications that appeared in his head. ''What?'' Ajax''s eyes looked visibly tired as hezily looked at the series of system notifications and with each system notification he read, he became excited. At the same time, his tiredness also disappeared without a trace. ''So, spending the Sacred Astral Energy food healing will also help increase the storage space? Excellent.'' Once he learned that, Ajax felt reaching the rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer was not a big issue for him. All he has to do is find the cultivators or spirit beasts that were suffering from soul injuries and heal them. Nevertheless, in the very next second, Ajax became dispirited as he thought of something. ****** cageraymortal, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. ****** Still need 4 more to reach the previous target of 300 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 992: Primitive Ape King

There are two things he was worried about. One, where the hell could he find people with soul injuries. Moreover, even if he finds, who would believe him if he said that he could cure them. Two, he has limited units of Sacred Energy. So, he can''t carelessly waste it and even if he wasted it, it was not enough for him to reach rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer. So, Ajax could help but be a little disappointed. ''Kek kek'' All of a sudden, he heard the small ape''s soul''s shouts as it excitedly jumped up and down. ''Anyway, I was able to see this little one.'' However, when Ajax looked at the excited soul in front of him, he forgot about his worries and revealed a slight smile on his face. Compared to before, the small monkey became a pure white transparent being after he removed the Cursed Energy and cured it with his Sacred Astral Energy. ''With only 2 units ofo Sacred Astral Energy, I was able to save a life. No wonder, this energy is very valuablepared to other energies.'' Deep down, Ajax felt bing a Sacred Astral Healer was a great thing for him. ''Puch'' While he was in his thoughts, he saw the pure white coloured soul jumped at him and kissed him on his cheek. ''What the hell?'' Ajax was shocked by the actions of the ape''s soul and hurriedly separated it from his face before throwing it in the distance while saying, ''I am not into the animals.'' ''Ding, Primitive ape king left his soul smell on your spirit consciousness. ''What? What does that mean?'' Ajax was already in a foul mood with the actions of Ape''s soul and when he saw the system notification, he became even more furious. ''Ding, Warning...warning...warning. He has already spent so much time in this soul ce. The system suggests the host leave the soul space. ''Okay okay...I am leaving. But, don''t forget to exin about this Soul smell.'' After finishing his words, Ajax simply thought to leave the soul space and he was already back into his body. .... Inside the cave, "Brother Elek, it is turning back to its original form." Currently, Nameless cultivator, Master Elek and other corroded beings were holding down the huge Primitive ape king. As soon as Ajax healed the soul of the Primitive ape king, the changes started appearing on the ape king''s body. "Yes. I noticed." Master Elek nodded his head as he was surprised to see how fast Ajax healed the primitive ape king. "Everyone, leave him alone." Soon, Nameless cultivator ordered all the corroded beings to leave the ape king. "Senior Nameless, Master Elek." As for Ajax, as soon as he came out of the soul space, he called out the two cultivators. "Ajax, you did it." "Young Master, you did it." Both Nameless cultivator and Master Elek were shocked but at the same time, they were excited with Ajax''s capability. ''I am very sure he is definitely a rank 3 Astral Healer or even higher.'' Compared to Nameless cultivator, Master Elek was even more excited because he knew what a rank 3 Astral Healer is capable of. ''Rrr'' Just as they greeted each other, the unconscious Primitive Ape King opened his eyes and in those eyes, there was a wave of unimaginable anger. ''Thud thud thud'' Soon, he stood on the ground as he mmed his chest very angrily. ''Roar'' His roar shook the entire cave. "Calm down." Nameless cultivator looked at it and tried to calm the Primitive Ape King down; however, it continued to roar at everyone because it''s been so long since he had done his favourite thing. And that favourite thing was none other than mming his own chest. "It is very livelypared to before." As for Ajax, he was happy for the Primitive Ape King because he was no longer a corroded being. ''Rrr?'' All of a sudden, the Primitive Ape King stopped mming his chest and looked at Ajax. For some reason, the Primitive Ape King felt Ajax was the closest thing for him. So, without wasting any time, the Primitive Ape King lunged at Ajax. ''Teleport.'' Ajax was shocked at the sudden change in the Primitive Ape King and just when it was about to jump on him, Ajax used his ''Teleport'' effect to escape from the jump. ''Swoosh'' However, just as he dodged the iing Primitive Ape King, the Primitive Ape King turned in the mid-air and hugged Ajax with a lot of care. ''What the hell? Am I that attractive for apes?'' That was the only thought in Ajax''s mind as he tried to ''Teleport'' once again; however, this time, he was unable to teleport. ''Ding, The Primitive Ape King is holding the host very tightly. So, the host can''t teleport but he can use other attacks. Instead, he received a system notification that suggested Ajax use other skills. ''I can use Advanced Spatial des; however, he is not showing any hostility towards him.'' Ajax didn''t want to harm the Primitive Ape King after going through a lot in order to save him. ''System, can you exin what is happening with this ape? Is it rted to that earlier thing?'' Ajax didn''t retort against the Primitive Ape King; instead, he asked the system to exin it. ''Ding, Correct. It was because of the Primitive Ape King''s soul that left its smell on the host''s spirit consciousness, he is thinking of you as his kin and closest family. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked with the system''s exnation as he looked at the huge Primitive Ape King in front of him with a ''What should I do now'' look on his face. ''Ding, The system suggests the host try talking in a polite way. The more hostile you are towards it, the closer it will feel. ''...'' ''Isn''t it the opposite I have to do?'' Ajax was speechless at the system''s suggestion; however, he decided to give it a try. **** No gifts **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets Chapter 993: Human Soul

Chapter 993: Human Soul

"Can you put me down now? I have to help others be normal." Even though Ajax shouted at the system, he still followed the system''s suggestion and casually asked the Primitive Ape King. ''Nods'' Surprisingly, the Primitive Ape King nodded his head as he put Ajax down on the ground. Actually, any cultivator or being below the King realm, can''t unlock the soul space and they could not ess their own soul. So, whatever the soul sees inside the Soul Space, it can''t inform that being until he/she/it unlock the soul space. However, in the Primitive Ape King''s case, his soul was very clever as it left its smell on Ajax''s spirit consciousness form. So that, the true body could smell Ajax as one of his own. Except for Ajax, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator didn''t have a single clue about it. "Good boy." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he walked towards his next target. ''...'' ''...'' Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were speechless when they saw how calm the Primitive Ape King had be after hearing Ajax''s words and looked at Ajax in a new light. However, Ajax didn''t bother with them because he knew what they were thinking in their heads. ''I will just focus on healing others.'' Soon, he reached his second target and it was none other than one of the two humans in the cursed army. ''Enter.'' Since the corroded beings didn''t have any intelligence and they didn''t have the ability to speak, Ajax didn''t bother wasting his breath on them and directly entered into the Soul Space of the first human. ''It looks like every being''s soul space looks the same.'' The soul space for the human he had just chosen to enter also looked just like the soul space of the Primitive Ape King. In the Primitive Ape King''s soul space, his soul looked like a small monkey whereas, in the human''s soul space, the soul looked like a four year old kid. ''He is crying.'' When he looked at the half-corroded soul in front of him, Ajax could not help but feel something in his heart snapped. ''I need to help him.'' Without wasting anything, Ajax rushed towards the small kid and hugged him with his spirit consciousness form. ''System, absorb the cursed energy while I heal his soul.'' Ajax ordered the system and once he noticed that the cursed energy was leaving the soul, he used the Sacred Astral Energy to heal the soul. ''Aargh'' Just like the Primitive Ape King''s soul, the human soul in his arms also started groaning in pain. ''Endure it...you can do it.'' ''You have suffered a lot and just endure it for a few minutes and it will be over.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know whether the human soul would understand him or not, he hugged the human soul as tightly as possible and at the same time, he tried to motivate the soul just like how the old voice used to encourage him. ''Huf huf'' It took nearly an hour for the human soul in his arms to stop groaning as it fell to the ground while breathing heavily. ''Huf huf'' Even Ajax was tired a lot while healing the soul of the human. ''Ding, The host spent 5 units of Sacred Astral Energy to heal a soul. ''Ding, The storage capacity of the Sacred Astral Space is increased by 5 units. ''Ding, Even though healing other souls will help the host increase his storage capacity of the Sacred Astral Space, the host has to take care of his own soul too. Soon, Ajax got the system notifications he was waiting for and without wasting any time, he directly left the soul space fearing that the man he had just saved might be like the Primitive Ape King. Then everyone would think he was different and into men when he was not actually that kind. ''Huh?'' As soon as he came out of soul space, Ajax felt a wave of tiredness hit him that gave him quite a headache for a couple of seconds. ''I will take some rest before healing that woman.'' Ajax had already chosen his third target and it was the woman that was wearing the same fire sword sect uniform. Even though he didn''t have a good impression on the fire sword sect, that doesn''t mean he would let them turn into mindless beings. ''Ding, The system suggests the host take care of his soul. You are almost reaching your limits, host. While he was thinking of saving the woman after a small break, the system once again sent the warning notification. ''Don''t worry.?After I save the woman, I will stop healing others for now because I know I can''t take the side effects.'' Ajax had already noticed that he took nearly twice the time he used to save the Primitive Ape King''s soul. Moreover, he was feeling tired after each healing session. So, Ajax knew that he could not do any more healing sessions today after he healed the woman. He was already pushing himself to save the woman''s soul but he felt he needed to do that and push himself. That was the way of the cultivation. ''Even though I can push myself, I should not overpush. So, I will stop after?healing her.'' Ajax already set the condition for himself as he looked at the man whom he had just saved. Just like before, the man was pressed to the ground by the corroded beings. Soon, changes started appearing in the man''s body as hepletely turned into a normal being. ''Ding, +5000 units of Cursed Energy has been collected from the second target. ''What?'' Seeing the amount of cursed energy he got from the first human, Ajax was shocked for a moment before thinking, ''No wonder, it took me a lot of time and made me tiresome.'' After thinking about it, Ajax was no longer shocked as he walked towards the man. ****** KingRig, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR. ****** Next target for bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets (Sigh...looks like we are not going to reach the target) Chapter 994: [Bonus Chapter]Rejected by the Spirit Beast

Chapter 994: [Bonus Chapter]Rejected by the Spirit Beast

When Ajax healed the Primitive Ape King''s soul,? he got 3000 units of cursed energy; however, from the human, he got 5000 units of cursed energy. Adding those two numbers alone gave him 80 units of Astral Energy thatbined with the 80 units of Sacred Energy and gave him 80 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Looks like I have to postpone my entry into the Origin paradise for another time.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he walked towards the unconscious man. The thing is, Ajax felt it was just a waste of time for entering into the Origin paradise just for the sake of 20 units of Astral Energy. Moreover, if he healed the woman, even those units of Astral Energy umted in his Sacred Astral Space. So, Ajax decided to postpone that even for now. The man wearing the half-torn fire sword sect''s uniform looked like he was in his forties with an average build. He opened his eyes and saw that he was currently surrounded by one old man, one middle-aged man and one young man. "Who are you? Where am I? What happened to me?" As soon as he opened his eyes, that man unconsciously stood up and hurriedly took a few steps back before asking Master Elek and Nameless cultivator. "Brother Nameless, why don''t you just exin everything that happened to him." Master Elek shook his head as he just gave the task of exining everything to Nameless cultivator. At the same time, he silently thought in his head, ''Humans are such a pain in the neck.'' Earlier, Ajax helped the Primitive Ape King; however, it didn''t bother to ask about anything except for a few excited roars. However, after helping a human turn back to his original form, not only they would not get any thanks in return; instead, they have to exin all the things. "Stay away from me. If you have anything to say, just say it by standing there itself." However, the man didn''t allow Nameless cultivator toe near to him. It was not that man''s fault because the entire surrounding looked eerie. Moreover, there were some corroded beings around him making him shiver a little. Even though he had a cultivation of around level 5 elite general realm, he was not much of a fighter even prior to him bing a corroded being. "Fine." Nameless cultivator became a little annoyed with the man''s behaviour; however, he knew that the man could not be med. So, he started exining everything. ¡­ "Master Elek, I can only help one more among those corroded beings for now." While Nameless cultivator was exining the past events to the recently recovered human, Ajax informed Master Elek in a low voice. "I can see that." Master Elek was not surprised with Ajax''s words because he knew that there would be limits for everything as he continued, "Even though their lives are worth something, but for you, your life is worth even more than. So, take your own time." "Hm" Ajax nodded his head in understanding. Behind Ajax, the huge Primitive Ape King was sleeping soundly and if Ajax made any movements, he would open his eyes to see where Ajax was going and follow him slowly. ''Sigh'' As for Ajax, he could only sigh and ignore it. "Do you want to form a contract with me?" Since the Primitive Ape King wants to follow him around, Ajax asked him after thinking for a moment. "No" A husky voice resounded in the cave. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked by the reply because he was from the Primitive Ape King. He was not shocked by the husky voice,? he was shocked because his offer was mercilessly rejected by the Primitive Ape King. "Okay." Ajax didn''t bother to convince the Primitive Ape King or exin anything after being rejected by it. Since the Primitive Ape King didn''t want to form a contract, of course, Ajax was not going to use force to make it submit to him. He just stopped bothering with the Primitive Ape King as he looked at Nameless cultivator and the cultivator from the fire sword sect talking with each other. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by. It took Nameless cultivator a little more than an hour to convince the cultivator from the Fire sword sect that Ajax helped him in turning back into his human form. "Thank you, young man, for helping me turn back to my original form." As soon as he was convinced, the cultivator walked towards Ajax and bowed to Ajax while thanking him. "No problem; however, I hope you don''t tell anyone about today''s events to anyone." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to that cultivator. "Of course, I will not talk about it with anyone. Moreover, I don''t have anyone to share these¡­." While saying those words, that man''s eyesnded on the woman who was lifelessly looking into space. "She is alive...my wife...my wife...she is alive." That cultivator was excited when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face of his wife. "Young man, can you please save her?" He controlled his excitement as he hurriedly begged Ajax to save his wife. ''Wife?'' Ajax and others raised their brows for a moment It was not an umon thing for the cultivators to venture into dangerous ces with their partners; however, for both partners to stay with one another for the entire time even after turning into lifeless beings, they were a little surprised. Moreover, Ajax would be healing her soon and would make a reunion for that couple. "Looks like it is time for me to save her." Ajax felt he had rested enough to save the woman and after finishing that, he would go on his much-awaited mission. So, nodded his head at the cultivator from the fire sword sect, Ajax stood up from the ground and walked towards the woman to start the healing process. **** David_Hamiltoon_1887, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE. ***** Still 2 Golden Tickets short on the previous target.

"Why I heal her soul, you have to restrain her." Ajax looked at the man from before ying his hand on the woman''s head and muttered, ''Enter''. Soon, Ajax entered into the Soul Space of the woman which looked exactly like the previous two Soul Spaces he entered. In the middle of the Soul Space, there was a little girl who looked less than five years old. Just like the four year old boy from the previous soul, the little girl''s eyes werepletely swollen from excessive crying from the pain that was caused by the cursed energy. "Don''t worry. Everything will be fine." Ajax felt his heartache when he saw that little girl and could not help but rush forward to hug her. ''System, do it.'' ''Sacred Astral Energy,e out.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly started the process of extracting the cursed energy from the soul and body while healing the injuries left by the cursed energy. ''Aargh'' As usual, the little girl was in so much pain; however, Ajax steeled his heart and held her tightly in his arms. ''Just endure it. The? pain will be over soon.'' Even though Ajax said those words, he was also feeling a wave of pain and tiredness appeared in his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, It is detected that the host''s spirit consciousness is rejected by the Soul Space. ''Ding, The host should leave now; otherwise, the pain will make the host''s mind stop working and his spirit consciousness form will forever be stuck in the woman''s Soul Space. Along with the pain and tiredness, a couple of system notifications appeared in his head. ''Do you think I will leave in the middle?'' Ajax scoffed at the system while gritting his teeth. How could he leave the woman''s Soul Space now? If he left, it would be certain death for the woman. So, Ajax continued to force himself because he believed he could do it. ''I endured pains much terrifying the current ones.'' Ajax gritted his teeth as he forced himself to stop the little girl in his arms to destroy her own soul space because of the pain she was suffering. ''Tick tick'' Time continued to pass and for Ajax, each second seemed like a millennium as the pain started increasing with each passing second. After who knows how long, Ajax felt his eyes starting to get closed because of the tiredness and pain. Moreover, there were some cracks appearing on his spirit consciousness form every now and then. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully healing the soul in his arms. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness form could not hold the pressure exerted by the woman''s soul space any longer. So, the system suggests the host leave the woman''s soul space as soon as possible. Ajax barely heard those two system notifications; however, just as he understood the first system notification, Ajax released the soul in his arms before falling to the ground. ''Finally...I did it.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax closed his eyes and stopped worrying about everything. ''Ding, It is detected the host lost his consciousness. ''Ding, Activating the emergency exit for the host. Just as he lost his consciousness, the system took the matter ofo helping Ajax out of the soul space into its hands and activated an emergency exit for Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the unconscious spirit consciousness form of Ajax disappeared right in front of the little girl from her soul space. ''Ding, Passive skill ''Self-recovery'' is triggered and the host''s spirit consciousness form will be automatically recovered. As soon as Ajax came out of the Soul Space, the cracks on his spirit consciousness form were mysteriously healed by green coloured energy. ''Uf'' After a couple of minutes, Ajax opened his eyes only to see Master Elek and Nameless cultivator looking at him with concerned looks in their eyes. ''Wh...what are you looking at? Move away from me and let me have some fresh air?'' Ajax hurriedly asked them to move away from him. "Fresh air? In this Cursed Heaven?" Master Elek and Nameless cultivator looked at Ajax and shook his head before saying, "Looks like we are overly concerned for nothing. Let''s go back and check on the woman." They didn''t bother to ask about Ajax''s condition because they could see that Ajax was in perfect condition. ''Looks like I need to control my emotions from the next time. My body ispletely sore now.'' Seeing that Master Elek and Nameless cultivator leave him alone, Ajax silently thought on his head and he didn''t try to stand up because he wanted to take some rest before doing anything. With that thought in his mind, Ajax rested his body as he looked at the ceiling of the cave. ''Ding, The host spent 3 units of Sacred Astral Energy and gained 3 units of additional storage for his Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, The host gained 30000 units of Cursed Energy that were converted into 30 units of Astral Energy. ''Ding, +20 units of Sacred Astral Energy is added with the merging of Astral Energy and Sacred Energy. ''Ding, The hostcks 10 units of Sacred Energy to merge with the Astral Energy for bing Sacred Astral Energy. While he was resting his body and spirit consciousness form, Ajax received a series of system notifications. ''Oh. I spent less than what I spent on the earlier target.'' Since? Ajax didn''t have any ns, he slowly read them one by one andpared the number of Sacred Astral Energy units he spent on the man. ''System, show me all the details regarding the Sacred Astral Space. During the short time, there were many changes to his Sacred Astral Space like upgrading multiple times and taking Sacred Energy from the ''Tree of blessing'' and many others. So, Ajax wanted to check how much storage his Sacred Astral Space has now and how many units of Sacred Astral Energy along with other energies were in the Sacred Astral Space. ***** Next target for bonus chapter:- 500 Golden Tickets Chapter 996: Husband and Wife

''Ding, Secondary Storage:- Sacred Astral Space. Storage Capacity:- Sacred Astral Energy :- 190 units /?510 units Sacred Energy:- 0 units / 320 units. Astral Energy:- 10 units / 310 units. As soon as he asked the system about the Sacred Astral Space, the details Ajax wanted to know were disyed within no time. ''It has already reached 510 units of storage capacity. No bad.'' Ajax was satisfied with the storage capacity and he continued thinking, ''As long as I spend the Sacred Astral Energy, I can increase the storage capacity to 700 units without any problem.'' ''Anyway, since I healed the two human souls, I will wait for a few days before helping others. If I exert any more pressure, my soul space which I am yet to unlock might be sted.'' Even though Ajax was not sure about it, previously when he was reaching his limits, he felt that cracks on his spirit consciousness form might st his Soul Space. So, he decided not to y with the Souls and Soul Spaces carelessly in the future. ¡­. While Ajax was taking some rest, the woman that Ajax had just healed woke up from her unconscious state. "Where am I?" Just like the man, the woman also had the same reaction of confusion, fear and all other emotions. "Hubby, you are here." Only when her eyesnded on the man, she was able to calm down a little and excitedly rushed into the arms of that man. "I am here. Don''t worry." That man lightly patted her back as he knew who she might be feeling because just a few moments ago, he felt the same. "Hubby, what happened to..." "Calm down. I will tell you that." Before that woman could finish her lines, her husband interrupted and started exining everything. ¡­. ''Looks like I can rest for a while.'' Looking at the couple speaking with one another, Master Elek was able to heave a sigh of relief because he didn''t have to exin anything to that woman. ¡­. "Hubby, where is our saviour? We have to thank him properly." After hearing about everything, the woman showed various emotions like fear, shock and by the end, she was excited. So, she asked about Ajax. If the same words she heard from her husband came from either Nameless cultivator or Master Elek, the woman would have been suspicious and would not have believed so easily; however, it was her husband with whom she had lived for more than a decade before turning into cursed beings. ''Growl'' "He might be tired after healing our souls. So, let''s wait until he wakes up." The husband shook his head and suggested waiting because currently, Ajax was sleeping and moreover, he was being guarded by the Primitive ape king who looked angrily when his wife wanted to wake Ajax up. "Ok..okay." The wife was a little timid from the beginning. So, when she heard the low growl from the Primitive ape king, she nodded her head and decided to wait until Ajax woke up naturally. Time continued to pass and in a sh, a couple of hours had gone by just like that. ''My body ispletely healed without any pain. Maybe, it is rted to the Self-recovery effect from the profession management tab.'' After sleeping for nearly two hours, Ajax woke up from the ground as he stretched his body and thought about the pain. Thankfully, there was no trace of any pain in his body making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Master Elek, Senior Nameless, let''s cancel the ns of entering the Origin paradise for now. Let''s enter some other time.'' After stretching his body a little, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to Master Elek and Nameless cultivator. Since there were two more cultivators in the cave now, Ajax didn''t want to disclose the information regarding the Origin Paradise which was kept as a secret for many years now. ''As you wish, young master.'' ''Hmm...okay.'' Nameless cultivator and Master Elek gave their own replies in the same manner as Ajax. "I have something to do now. I will take my leave now." Ajax didn''t want to waste any time because starting his ''World-destroying mission''. So, he said those words as he continued, "Senior, please take care of the remaining corroded beings. Once I be strong or after some time, I wille back and help them." It was Ajax''s way of ordering Nameless cultivators to look after the corroded beings until he came back. That''s right! Ajax indirectly ordered Nameless cultivator because he is now Ajax''s follower. So, he had to do everything that Ajax ordered him to do. "Yes, young master." Nameless cultivator didn''t mind watching over the cursed beings because he was looking his past self in those corroded beings. So, he didn''t have any problem. "Also, as long as you keep them in this cave, you can go and spend some time in some of the towns and cities." All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something. So, he even permitted Nameless cultivators to go out of the Cursed abyss to spend some time in the outside world. "Okay, young master." Nameless cultivator nodded his head and asked, "By the way, where are you going, young master." "I am going into the depths of the inner section of the Cursed Wilderness to increase my strength." Ajax said half-truth and half-lie to Nameless cultivator with a slight smile on his face. He was going to increase his cultivation by destroying a world; however, he was not going into the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. "Be careful, young master." Nameless cultivator just said those words and nothing more because he knew that a powerful cultivator''s spirit consciousness was inside Ajax. So, he was not worried that Ajax would be killed by any peak rank 6 spirit beasts in the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. "Okay." Ajax casually nodded his head as he turned back to leave; however, a silhouette rushed towards him while shouting, "Daniel" ***** Niscka, cageraymortal, Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the ICE COLA. ***** Next target for bonus chapter:- 500 Golden Tickets?(no bonus chapter if the target not met) Chapter 997: Edina Hazegroove

"Daniel" The woman whom he had healed earlier rushed towards him without the fear of the Primitive Ape King and hugged him tightly before sobbing. ''...'' Master Elek and Nameless cultivator was shocked by the woman''s actions. Moreover, they were puzzled at the reason why she called him ''Daniel''. ''Huh?'' Even Ajax was shocked and tried toe out of the woman''s embrace; however, he hugged him so tightly that he could not move. "Who are you? First, leave me, let''s talk." Seeing that the woman made his robe soak in her tears, Ajax asked the woman in a little voice. "Edina, leave him first and let''s talk." Seeing that his wife was not leaving the young man who saved them, he convinced her to leave Ajax from her embrace. ''Is he really Daniel?'' At the same time, the man looked at Ajax withplex emotions. "Hubby, we finally found Daniel. Let''s go and inform Brother Edmond about this news." The woman didn''t leave Ajax from her embrace as though she was worried that the young man in her embrace might disappear if she removed her hands around him. Instead, she turned towards her husband and told him with a face that was entirely covered with tears. Moreover, one could say with a single nce that she was clearly excited about finding Ajax. "First, leave him and let''s talk. It''s impolite to hug others." The man was a little annoyed; however, he knew why she was hugging Ajax. So, he could not shout at her; instead, he could only ask her a slow voice. "It is our little Daniel. Is it wrong to hug him?" The woman became a little angry as she retorted at her husband. "Edina, stop arguing. Daniel is long gone right in front of her eyes. Stop bothering others." The man finally could not take his wife''s words and shouted at her to snap her out of her dilemma. "..." Hearing her husband shout at her, the woman was unable to say anything as she started crying before leaving Ajax out of her embrace. "It''s okay." Soon, her husband took her into his embrace before calming her down in a sorrowful voice. While saying those words, the man took her back to the ce where he had ced a couple of stones to sit for his wife. "Wait for a second." Just as they took a couple of steps, Ajax asked them to stop. "Sorry for my earlier actions, young man. I thought you were someone else." The woman named Edina bowed as she apologized to Ajax fearing that her actions might have angered their saviour. "It''s okay. I want to ask you about something." Ajax just shook his head as he replied to the couple. "Of course, young man. We will answer anything you want to know." Since Ajax was their saviour, the couple didn''t mind answering anything he wanted to know. Moreover, they could already guess what the young man wanted to ask them. So, the man was the first one to reply to Ajax. As for the woman, she cleared the tears off her face and supported her husband. "How are you rted to Captain Edmond?" Ajax finally asked the question, he wanted to ask them. Earlier, Ajax heard that the woman mentioned Captain Edmond''s name. Even though he didn''t know whether the Edmond she mentioned and the Edmond he knew were the same, he wanted to know more about it. ''I think the ''Edmond'' she mentioned might be the same one.'' Deep down, Ajax had that thought; however, Ajax wanted to confirm it. Moreover, the couple was wearing the robes that were usually worn by the elders of the Fire sword sect. So, of course, he wanted to know more about Edmond and his feud with the Fire sword sect. "Huh?" The man frowned when he heard Ajax''s question. However, the woman was a little surprised as she hurriedly asked Ajax with a face full ofo excitement, "Do you know Brother Edmond?" "I guess so. But, I am not sure." Ajax nodded his head and at the same time, he shook his head before asking, "What is the full name of the ''Edmond'' you mentioned?" Ajax asked that question since there was a very low chance of having the same name and surname. "It is Hazegroove. My brother name is Edmond Hazegroove." Unlike the man, the woman was a little excited and proud when she mentioned her brother''s name. "Then you are talking about Captain Edmond. Yes, I know him. Moreover, he helped me a lot when I started my cultivation." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. Since she was the sister of Captain Edmond, he naturally felt a little close. As for the help that Captain Edmond provided to Ajax were some basic knowledge and enough spirit stones. However, that was a great help for Ajax when he didn''t know anything. "Great." Hearing that Ajax knew her brother, Edina became excited as she asked, "He became a captain? When did he be that? Is his mercenary squad powerful? What is its ranking?" Soon, she started asking more and more questions. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised at how many questions Edina had regarding her brother; however, when he thought about how she and her husband were turned into cursed beings, his surprise disappeared without a trace. "His mercenary squad name is Hazegroove mercenary squad and it is one of the three top mercenary squads in the mercenary guild." Ajax didn''t get irritated at the questions; instead, he started answering them one by one. With each answer she got from Ajax, Edina would be surprised because his brother was not that strong before they entered the Cursed Abyss for a mission from the sect. "Since you know about Captain Edmond, then you must know about the hidden families, right?

Chapter 998: Mysterious Force

Edina Hazegroove was excited to find out that her brother had be so powerful but what she didn''t understand was why would his brother be a mercenary? ''Unless something happened to the family.'' That was the only thought in her mind. So, she asked Ajax with a face full of worries. "Th..this.." Ajax didn''t know what to say to Edina because he didn''t know much about Edmond''s family. However, he was very sure that something had happened to his family and it was definitely rted to the Fire Sword Sect. Nevertheless, it was all his assumptions. So, he was not sure whether he should answer Edind with his assumptions or not. "Sorry to inform you of this but your Hazegroove family was destroyed a few years back." While Ajax was stuttering with his words, Master Elek walked towards the woman as he replied with a serious look on his face. "Not only your? Hazegroove family but the remaining eight hidden family were also destroyed in a single night by a mysterious forces." Master Elek knew it was hard for Edina to know the truth; however, he felt it was better for her to knoow earlier in order to not raise her expectations to meet her family. ''What?'' Edina and her husband were shocked as Edina weakly fell onto her knees as tears started rolling down her face. ''How can this happen?'' Nameless cultivator was just like the couple, he didn''t know much about what happened in the outside world except for some news that was? given by the vagrant cultivators. So, he was equally shocked by Master Elek''s words. Because Hidden families are the secret guardians of the Provinces and protect the provinces from the otherworldly forces like Demons and Devils. ''Just like I imagined that Edmond''s family was destroyed by a mysterous force. No wonder he kept all his trump cards to himself. Even his elemental spirits, he didn''t summon them except for a single elemental spirit recently.'' ''Also, I must follow his advice strictly in summoning my elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts.'' Ajax was not shocked by Master Elek''s words because he was already expecting something like that to have happened. However, he understood one thing and it was why Edmond always wanted him to keep his trump cards a secret. Because in this world, one can''t predict who would attack you. "How could this be?" "Who could have done it?" "What did the Hidden families do that destroyed them?" While sobbing, Edina thought of many questions as she muttered to herself; however, those questions were clearly heard by everyone. "Edina, don''t worry. We will meet your brother and ask him." Edina''s husband revealed a sad look on his face as he tried to calm his wife. "..." Even though Master Elek had some clue regarding what mastermind behind the massacre, he didn''t say it because it was Edmond''s wish to let his sister know about it or not. "I think it must be the Fire sword sect." All of a sudden, Ajax spoke his inner thoughts. "Fire sword sect?" The man frowned when he heard Ajax''s words as though he wanted to retort his words. "Ajax, you are wrong. This is not the work of the Fire sword sect because they were not powerful enough to clear all eight hidden families in a single night." Before the man named Bren could retort Ajax''s words, Master Elek shook his head as he exined. "But it is always possible for the fire sword sect to form an alliance with other sects and great families, right?" Ajax was not convinced by Master Elek''s words as he continued, "Moreover, Captain Edmond hates the fire sword sect to the core. What more reason do you need to hate a sect that much unless they destroy your entire family." Ajax noticed how much Captain Edmond hates the fire sword sect. So, Ajax was very sure that Edmond knew there was an involvement of the fire sword sect in the destruction of his family. "Young man, you might have saved us but don''t me my Fire sword sect unnecessarily." Finally, the man named Bren could not take Ajax''s usations of the fire sword sect and warned him not to say such words. "Huh? Why are you getting angry? Is there something wrong with what I said?" How could Ajax back down that easily? Keeping aside the fact that Captain Edmond hates the fire sword sect to the core, Ajax also didn''t like it because both Elders and disciples were arrogant and didn''t value the lives of others. "You" The man became very angry because he was born and raised in the fire sword sect and now, someone is framing it for the destruction of the hidden families. So, how could he keep quiet even after listening to that bullshit? Just when the man was about to attack Ajax, Master Elek appeared in the middle while facing Ajax and said, "Ajax, what he said was right. The fire sword sect can''t be the mastermind or involved with the destruction of the Hidden families." "Huh?" Ajax was surprised at Master Elek''s words; however, this time he didn''t say anything because Master Elek lived much longer and knew many things regarding the Zrochcester province. "I know you must be unconvinced but there''s a particr reason for the fire sword sect to not attack or involve themselves with the attacks towards the Hidden families and their descendants unless the Hidden families attack them first." Seeing the unconvinced look on Ajax''s face, Master Elek continued informing him, "The reason is the old sect master of the fire sword sect strictly prohibited them from doing so and in any case, if the sect attacked, then the sect would lose its protection cast by their ancestor. "Oh." Ajax was surprised to find out such a thing existed; however, that gave rise to another question, "So, why would Captain Edmond hate them so much?" **** David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the Massage Chair (+ 1 Golden Ticket) **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 500 Golden Tickets Chapter 999: Edmonds past

Chapter 999: Edmond''s past

There must be some reason for someone to hate others, right? So, Ajax asked Master Elek regarding the reason why Captain Edmond hated the fire sword sect so much. "..." Master Elek looked at Edina and didn''t answer Ajax as he remained silent. Even Edina remained silent as though she didn''t wish to say it. "I will tell you the reason." However, Edina''s husband, Bren, replied to Ajax saying that he would rify Ajax''s doubts. Someone is ming his Fire sword sect and Bren didn''t like it. So, he wanted to give a rification to Ajax. So that he could stop ming the fire sword sect for something that they didn''t do. "I am all ears." Ajax was puzzled at the sudden silence of Master Elek and Edina; however, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Bren wanted to answer his question. As for the reason why he heaved a sigh of relief was because even Captain Edmond was not willing to say it; however, Ajax was curious by nature and wanted to find out more about Edmond to help him in the future. "Husband.." Edina wanted to stop her husband; however, Bren didn''t bother about it because nothing would happen to Edmond and anyone near to him if he said the reason why Edmond hates the Fire sword sect. "Actually, young master Edmond greatly respected the fire sword sect when we were all small. When we can start cultivating, Edmond and I got the opportunity to join the Fire sword sect. Since I am just a servant of the Hazegroove family, I was over the moon and readily joined the sect; however, as the sole young master of the family, he is not allowed to cultivate anywhere else except for the family." Bren started the story of their past and Ajax continued to listen to his words with aplete focus. "Luckily, my cultivation talent was top notch and I was able to be the direct disciple of the old sect master. As for young master Edmond, since he really liked the fire sword sect, he used the reason of ing to see me'' from time to time to enter the Fire sword sect." "As we grew, Edmond''s visits to the sect became more and more and he secretly learned the fire sword style of my master and impressed him." "Even though young master Edmond''s cultivation talent was not high, his determination and endurance even scared my master. At the same time, he also learned that one of his daughters had fallen in love with Edmond and Edmond also loved her Since my master saw something about Edmond, he was not against the marriage and with a grand banquet, he arranged their marriage which was the talk of the entire province at the time." "Soon, they had a son and only when the child was 10 years old, the old sect master had found something about him." Saying up to there, Bren stopped speaking to take a deep breath. "What did he find about Captain Edmond''s child?" Ajax thought Bren would just say one or two lines about the reason why Edmond hates the fire sword sect; however, Bren was saying everything from their childhood. Of course, Ajax was not irritated by it; instead, he became more and more curious about Captain Edmond''s past. Moreover, he became annoyed when Bren stopped telling the story. So, he shouted at him to continue the story. "The old sect master found out that their son has the talent of his daughter and the determination of Edmond. So, he decided to send their son into a secret inheritance ground of sect before Edmond''s son could start cultivating to get an inheritance of the powerful sect master of the fire sword sect who broke through to the King realm." "That''s bullshit." All of a sudden, Master Elek interrupted Bren''s story as he continued, "No one had ever broken through into the King realm from any of the three sects." "No, it is not true. ording to what I learned from the secret records of the sect, one of the sect leaders was able to break through into the King realm; however, he didn''t predict that a lightning tribtion would appear right after he broke through. So, he decided to enter the secret inheritance ground of the sect to hide to recover his strength; however, he was unable tost for much longer in the inheritance ground before dying." "However, before he died, he said that he would be leaving a heaven-shaking inheritance for the younger generation. However, the prerequisite was the participant should not start his cultivation, he should have a good cultivation talent and the very important thing was determination and endurance." Hearing Master Elek''s words, Bren could not help but clench his fists as he retorted back at Master Elek. ''What the hell happened in thest five years? Why the hell did my fire sword sect be the public enemy number one?'' After retorting, Bren silently thought to himself. Even though people used to speak badly about the top sects in the past, they would not hate it so much. So, he was shocked and wanted to find out what made everyone hate the fire sword sect. "So, their son didn''t make it out?" After some hesitation, Ajax asked Edina and Bren in a low voice. "Yes...Daniel didn''t make it out...Sob" Soon, Edina once again started crying after replying to Ajax. Even though Master Elek and others were annoyed with her continuous sobbing, they didn''t stop because they thought how close she was to Daniel. "Edina, stop crying. We can''t bring Daniel back to life now. It is how nature works." Bren, who was at the side, could not help but heave a long sigh and tried to control his wife. However, he was unable to control her. **** Zachary_Ross_9246, thanks for the ICE COLA x 2 Cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA. **** Next target for bonus chapter:- 500 Golden Tickets Chapter 1000: [Bonus Chapter]Partner without a contract

# 1000 ''Daniel? So, Captain Edmond''s son''s name is Daniel and if I am not wrong, I must look simr to him.'' Finally, Ajax felt like all the questions regarding why Captain Edmond was so kind to him despite the fact his origins were suspicious. Ajax still remembered that day as though it happened just yesterday. He walked out of the cursed abyss only to meet a few mercenaries and while everyone was wary about him, the captain of the mercenary squad was so kind to him. Not only did he invite him to join his squad, he also taught the basic knowledge of cultivation while giving him many spirit stones. When Ajax remembered the day of his early cultivation day, Ajax could not help but feel nostalgic. "Compared to Edmond and his wife, the old sect master med himself for the death of Daniel which made him lose his cultivation path and soon became sick." After calming his wife, Bren replied to Ajax and all of a sudden, Bren became a little anxious. "That''s right! I have to go back and see my master. He was already sick five years back. I wonder how he is doing." Bren hurriedly helped Edina stand up on the ground and said, "Edina, let''s go and meet the old sect master." As for how he knew it''s been exactly five years since he became a cursed being, it was, of course, learned from Nameless cultivator. "Sorry to inform you once again, the old sect master had died five years back." Once again it was Master Elek who walked into the middle and informed Bren. ''Thud'' As soon as he heard those words, Bren fell to his knees; however, he didn''t cry for some reason. Nevertheless, one could see the anger in his eyes. The anger was towards himself for not staying beside his Master and Godfather. "If you want, I can take you to Edmond and then decide what you have to do." Finally, after waiting for some time, Master Elek spoke as he informed them that he would take them to Captain Edmond. "Hm" Before he and his wife came on the sect mission five years back, Bren sensed something was not right with the sect and also thought that Ketrok must have nned something to overtake the sect. So, going back to the sect with his reduced cultivation would only give him confirm-death. That''s right! For some reason, Bren''s cultivation had dropped from peak elite general realm to level 5 elite general realm; however, in Edina''s case, the cultivation drop didn''t happen which made him rte it to Ketrok. ''Damn it...once I find out what he did to my cultivation, I will take care of him.'' Bren cursed Ketrok as he clenched his fists before nodding his head at Master Elek. "Let''s go then." Master Elek knew he didn''t have anything to do in the Cursed Heaven. So, he decided to take them with him to make the reunion with Captain Edmond. As for where to find Captain Edmond, it was not a difficult thing for Master Elek. "Hm" Both Bren and Edin nodded their heads as they walked behind Master Elek. "Once again thanks for saving us. If you need any help, don''t hesitate to ask us. Even though we didn''t have the power we used to have in the past, we will try our best in repaying you back." All of a sudden, Bren stopped in his steps as he walked back to Ajax and with a deep bow, he thanked Ajax. As soon as he finished his words, Bren rushed out of the cave to follow Master Elek to meet Captain Edmond. "It''s okay." As for Ajax, he casually shook his head as he didn''t think much about it. "Senior, I will take my leave now." Since he got to know what he wanted to know about Captain Edmond, Ajax was satisfied and when he thought about his mission of ''World destroying'', he said those words to Nameless cultivator. "Okay. Young master." As Ajax had already exined to the Nameless cultivator that he was going to train in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he didn''t ask any questions and nodded his head. Without wasting any time, Ajax also started walking towards the exit. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' However, Ajax heard a loud sound from behind and without turning back, Ajax could say where the sound must havee from/ So, without turning back, Ajax continued to walk forward. "Roar" The primitive ape king who was following behind Ajax was excited when he saw that Ajax stopped in his tracks; however, when he saw that Ajax was not paying anything to him, he roared at Ajax in order to gain his attention. ''Sigh'' Ajax could not help but sigh when he heard the loud roar and finally, turned back to look at the huge spirit beast. "What is your problem? Didn''t you reject my offer to be my contracted spirit beast? Then, why are you following me?" Ajax scoffed at the huge primitive ape king as he asked multiple questions to the spirit beast. "I want to be your partner." The primitive ape king looked at Ajax for a moment before replying to him in his hoarse voice. "Didn''t I ask you that earlier?" Ajax replied with a scoff just like before. "No. Forming a contract with a cultivator makes me their ve. I want to be your partner without a contract. I will protect you with my life and I want the same from you." In his usual hoarse voice, the primitive ape king exined to Ajax. "What?" Not only Ajax, but even the Nameless cultivator was also surprised when he heard the primitive ape king''s words. "What do you say?" Seeing that Ajax was not replying to his earlier words, the primitive ape king asked Ajax about his answer. "What if I say no?" Ajax had already decided on his answer after hearing the earlier reply; however, he asked a question to see what he would get the reply from the spirit beast. ******* Yay....Finally reached 1000 chapters. ******* Next target for bonus chapter:- 600 Golden Tickets Chapter 1001: Conditions to become a partner

Chapter 1001: Conditions to be a partner

"You don''t have another option other than killing me." The primitive ape king shrugged his hands as he replied to Ajax in his usual hoarse voice. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised a little when he heard such a reply from the primitive ape king. "Why do you want to be my partner. I don''t have high cultivation but I have a lot of powerful enemies which makes me a burden for you." Nevertheless, Ajax shook his head as he continued, "Since you don''t want to be a contracted spirit beast, I suggest you go and live your own life. Stop bothering me." Actually, Ajax felt the logic said by the primitive ape king of bing a partner was good; however, without forming a contract with the spirit beast, he could not put him into his inner world. Also, it would have been not a problem for him; however, from now on he had to travel to other worlds and who knows how long it would take for him to destroy them. So, Ajax felt that only if the primitive ape king forms a contract with him, he could take him along because the spirit beast looked powerful and it would be a great help in the other worlds. "Exactly. The reason why you want to be your partner is to protect you from your enemies because your cultivation is still low." The huge ape nodded his head as though what he said just now was 100 percent true. "..." Ajax became speechless at the primitive ape king''s words as he silently thought, ''Bro, if you want to follow me, it''s okay but why do you have to say unnecessary things.'' "Young master, I think, you should take it with you. Once a Primitive ape king decides on something, unless you kill them, they will never change their decision." Just when Ajax was going to say something, the Nameless cultivator suggested Ajax allow the primitive ape king to follow him. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head because he was also thinking the same. ''However, the problem is, currently, I am entering a small world to destroy and ording to the system, I can''t take anyone except for my contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits that were inside the inner world of spirit consciousness.'' Ajax had long decided to allow the spirit beast to follow him without a contract; however, he thought of his current problem and started thinking of an alternative. "Okay...fine. I will allow you to follow me on one condition." Finally, after thinking for a few moments, Ajax nodded his head as he replied to the primitive ape king. The primitive ape king didn''t say anything as he waited for Ajax''s condition and silently thought, ''No matter what, I have to fulfil that condition.'' "You have to guard those 10 cursed beasts against leaving this cursed heaven while learning a bestialw. As long as you can learn beastw by the time I return, I will consider you as a reliable partner." Seeing that the primitive ape king became serious, Ajax stated his condition to be a partner without a contract. ''Looks like a good condition.'' Nameless cultivator, who was at the side, shook his head and felt pity towards the primitive ape king. For a being to enter into the King realm, they have to learn aw and increase that level to the peak. As for thews, they were ssified into different types depending on the type of beings; They were Elementalws, Cultivator''sws, Bestialws, Demonws, Devilws and many more. However, it was not mandatory to be called by different names. Most of the time, people use only ''Elementalws'' even if it was awakened by a human or a spirit beast. For everyone, the level of difficulty for awakening their respective types ofws are equal and now, Ajax had given the task of awakening a bestialw for the primitive ape king. So, of course, Master Elek shook his head. ''...'' Just like Ajax expected, the primitive ape king fell into a dilemma and started thinking about something. "So, what do you say? Are you in or out?" Ajax was a little disappointed when he saw that the primitive ape king fell into the dilemma because from Master Elek''s words, he thought primitive ape kings were adamant about their decision. Nevertheless, he asked once again. "Can I know when you wille back?" The primitive ape king didn''t agree to the condition directly; instead, he asked something else that made Ajax could not help but smile. ''I thought these primitive ape kings were dumb but look like this one is clever.'' Ajax''s previous disappointment disappeared as he replied, "I think, it will take one month or so." "One month?" Master Elek shook his head once again as he directly came to a conclusion, ''Looks like the young master didn''t want the primitive ape king to follow him without a contract.'' The thing is, all cultivators and spirit beasts in the Zrochester province were cultivating for centuries just to awaken a singlew and here, Ajax was giving the target of awakening a bestialw in a single month. There is almost no chance for the primitive ape king to awaken a glimpse of a bestialw, not to mentionpletely awakening a bestialw. "One month is more than enough for me to learn the Bestialw." To everyone''s surprise, the primitive ape king nodded his head with an excited look on his face as though learning a bestialw was very simple for him. ''What the hell?'' Both Ajax and the primitive ape king were shocked at the primitive ape king''s words; however, they didn''t have any confidence in the primitive ape king because learning a bestialw in a single month is just a joke. "Good." Nevertheless, Ajax nodded his head and looked at Nameless cultivator before saying, "Senior Nameless, with the primitive ape king in the cursed heaven you can take breaks more often." After finishing his words, Ajax walked out of the cave to officially start his mission. **** KingRig, thanks for the LUXURY CAR. Chapter 1002: Entering the Devourer eagle kings world

Chapter 1002: Entering the Devourer eagle king''s world

''This ce is good.'' Ajax walked a few kilometers away from the Cursed Heaven and after checking his surroundings, he felt it was a good ce for him. The reason why there would be no cultivators was because of the Cursed Energy. Unless they have the energy restraining pills, they can''t even enter a few kilometers inside the Cursed Abyss much less enter the depths of the Cursed Abyss. Unlike them, Ajax could use the Cursed Energy to convert into Astral Energy. ''System, Open the portal to the Devourer Eagle King''s world.'' Once he confirmed there was no one around him, Ajax ordered the system to open the portal to a smaller world to officially start his mission. ''Ding, Consuming the small world ticket and opening the portal to the Devourer Eagle King''s world. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he ordered the system, a portal enough for him to enter had opened. ''I hope I canplete the task.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax rushed into the portal while hoping everything would go smoothly. ...¡­ The other end of the portal, ''Swoosh'' ''Woah...it looks just like Five elemental world.'' Ajax came out of the portal and to his surprise, he felt it waspletely simr to the five elemental world including the purity of the essence of nature. ''But the only difference is, this world ispletely covered with tall trees and mountains, unlike the five elemental world where tall trees and mountains were everywhere in the Shixato region.'' Ajax''s surprise didn''tst for much longer when he thought about the inhabitants of the Devourer Eagle king''s world. Generally, the bird tribes like to live in a ce that is filled with tall trees and mountains where they make their homes. ''First, I need to find out the information regarding this world. Only then, I can see what I can do.'' After looking at his surroundings for a while, Ajax thought to find outpletely about the world. ''Screech'' Just as he thought about it, he heard the eagle screeches; however, he was unable to see the devourer eagles as he waspletely surrounded by the tall trees. Simrly, the devourer eagles that were flying in the sky were also unable to see him. ''Herees the opportunity.'' Ajax was toozy to search for the devourer eagles on his own. So, when he heard the screeches, he was excited as though it was an opportunity for him. ''Teleport'' Without wasting any time, Ajax used the ''Teleport'' multiple times and appeared on the top of a tree. ''Interesting. Looks like it is convocation.'' Ajax looked at the thousands of devourer eagles that were flying in a particr direction and thought it was interesting. Among those thousands of devourer eagles, there was only a single devourer eagle whose strength was at peak rank 6. A few eagles have rank 6 and rank 5 strength. As for the thousands of the eagles only have the cultivation of rank 4 and less than that. ''Let''s see where they are going.'' Ajax could easily kill the entire convocation of the eagles in the distance; however, it would not help him inpleting the mission. So, he wanted to follow them and wanted to see where they were going. As for why there was not a single re-cultivated devourer eagle in the convocation, Ajax was not surprised as he thought, ''Maybe, they don''t have the re-cultivation technique or they didn''t want to re-cultivate just like Twilight.'' And ording to him, who cares whether they were in human form or humanoid form or spirit beast form, he would be going to kill everyone soon. ''Swoosh'' Ajax retracted his presencepletely as he used the first effect of ''Lightning cloud steps'' and with the help of the tall trees, he was able to follow the devourer eagles. Coming to the description of the devourer eagle, they were 5-10 meters in length and width depending on their strength which was quite big for a bird. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Damn it...why are there no more trees from here?'' After following the devourer eagle for a couple of hours, Ajax stopped following because there were no more trees for him to follow. And if he continued to follow them, he would be easily noticed by the devourer eagles who were known for devouring and their eyesight. ''What should I do now?'' Ajax racked his brains for an idea to keep on following the Devourer eagles. ''I will use it.'' All of a sudden, he thought of something and without wasting any time, he took out a pill from his inventory before tossing it into his mouth. ''Ding, The host consumed an invisible pill. He can stay invisible for the next five minutes. Soon, he got the system notification, he rushed after the devourers eagles which were very far from him. ''Before the pill''s effect goes, I hope I can find a ce to hide.'' Even though there were many thoughts in his head, Ajax was focused on the devourer eagles. Within no time, Ajax was able to catch up to the devourer eagles and since they couldn''t see him, Ajax was not worried much. ''Huh? Is someone following us?'' However, the peak rank 6 devourer eagle looked in the path Ajax was running and squinted his eyes. Even though he could not see Ajax, he felt someone was following him. ''No...it must be me who is tired of all the regr meetings with the Eagle Generals. I must be feeling like this for a couple of days now.'' Soon, the leader of the eagle''s convocation shook his eagle head and continued to fly to his destination. ''Ding, Host, the invisible pill''s effect willst for less than a minute. Please be careful. As for Ajax, he didn''t know that he nearly got caught by the leader of the eagle''s convocation; however, he was oblivious of that because he was worried about the invisible pill''s effect that might disappear anytime now.

Chapter 1003: Devourer Eagle King and his army

''Damn it¡­how long are they nning to fly?'' As soon as he got the system notification, Ajax cursed the devourer eagles that were flying non-stop for hours. ''There are no trees anywhere nearby except for the barren mountains.'' Ajax hurriedly looked ahead of him and was annoyed. ''Looks like I am just wasting time by following them, I will just kill them after I be visible to him.'' Finally, Ajax could not take it anymore and decided to kill all the devoured eagles as soon as the invisible pill''s effect disappeared. ''Screech'' However, just as he thought to kill them, Ajax heard many screeches from the distance; however, because of the barren mountains, he was unable to see any devourer eagles. ''Looks like luck is on their side today.'' Looking at the convocation of eagles he followed for a couple of hours, Ajax thought they were lucky as they could live for another day. ''I have to just rush ahead of them and find a good hiding spot to hide.'' Since he could already guess where the devoured eagles were flying to, he didn''t bother with them as he rushed with his full speed and found a huge boulder on the edge of the mountain to hide. ''Ding, The invisible pills'' effect has disappeared. As soon as he settled behind the huge boulder, he received a system notification heaved a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I can hide here and find out what is happening in this world.'' Ajax thought to himself as he slowly took a peek from the boulder. ''Holy heavens'' Ajax was shocked after seeing what he had seen. Because, just ahead of the barren mountain in which he was hiding, there were many barren mountains that were entirely filled with Devourer eagles. What''s more, at the center of the many barren mountains, Ajax noticed there was a huge devourer eagle that was more than 100 meters in height. ''Is that the Devourer Eagle King? The ruler of this world?'' Ajax thought to himself as he hurriedly stopped peeking from behind the boulder. ¡­.. In the open area amidst the barren mountains. "Your majesty, everyone is here. You can start your speech.'' Once thest devourer eagle''s convocation entered into the open area, a 10-meter devourer eagle said to the 100-meter devourer eagle. "Hm" The huge devourer eagle nodded his head just like a human before looking at the surrounding millions of the devourer eagles. "Your majesty." As for the devoured eagles that camete were shocked by the presence of the devoured eagle king because ording to what they know, only 10 generals would be present in the meeting. However, now, when they saw their king, they were frozen and soon, they greeted the king. "From the next time, if you and your force everete to the meeting, I will devour you myself." The huge devourer eagle warned the convocation of the devoured eagles that Ajax had just followed. "Thanks, your majesty." Seeing that their king forgave them, all the devoured eagles bowed as they thanked the huge devourer eagle. "Okay then, let''s directlye to the main reason for why I personally came here." Soon, the huge devourer eagle king started his speech and all the devourer eagles were seriously listening to his words. "Within the next 15 days, my skill to create the portal to the nearby worlds can be used. Unlike thest time, I don''t want to lose more than 20 percent of my soldiers. So, you better prepare for the invasion. We should devour the entire world this time with minimum losses. Do you understand?" In the end, the huge devourer eagle screeched at the millions of devourer eagles and asked them. "Yes, your majesty." All of a sudden, all the devoured eagles spread their wings and screeched while replying to the huge eagle. "Good. My 10 generals will help you with the battle formations and other fighting techniques. So, pay close attention to them and you can devour to your heart''s content once we conquer that world." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the huge eagle spread his massive wings and disappeared into the sky at an incredible speed. ''What a speed!'' Ajax, who was hearing everything said by the huge devourer eagle, was shocked by the speed of the eagle. ''Did he gain a beastw regarding flight or what? This speed definitely does not belong to a peak rank 6 spirit beast.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax came to a conclusion that the king of the devourer eagles had a flight-type beastw. Even though he was called King by all the devoured eagles, Ajax was very sure that he was still in the rank 6; however, that beastw he cultivated must have reached a very high level. So, Ajax was thinking about what he had to do with all the information he gained after entering this world. "Everyone, listen carefully." While Ajax was in his thoughts, he heard a voice from a distance. "Our entire army will be divided into the 10 parts and each part will be led by one of the generals just like always. You have to follow your General and you have to do whatever he says to you. Do you understand?" The voice belonged to the first general under the devourer eagle king. "Yes, first general." Nodding their eagle heads, they flew in the sky and followed behind their general. The ten parts of the army that the first general had said just were formed long back. So, there was no confusion and all the inhabitants of this world were equally separated and led by 10-meter eagle devourers who were called Generals. ''Wait for a second! Didn''t that huge eagle devourer say he could create a portal to another small world in a few days?'' Ajax didn''t bother with the General devourer eagles; instead, he thought of a brilliant idea regarding how he shouldplete his mission. "Yes¡­ I will just do it." Soon, Ajax didn''t even think much before finalizing his n. ***** Once my new story gets 10 Patreons, there will be a mass release for ''New age of summoners''.

Chapter 1004: 26 Grade 2 Elemental Paradises.

From the words of the devourer eagle king,? Ajax thought of a n which he was sure would work. ''Even if it fails, I can stillplete this mission¡­.Ajax, you are bing more and more intelligent.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he praised himself with the n he had created. ''To start my n, I have to wait until the devourer eagle king opens the portal to the other world. So, I will just hide somewhere for the next 15 days.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax slowly moved away from his current hiding ce and started searching for a ce to hide for the next 15 days. ''I wonder how a single race can survive in a world? '' While searching for his hideout, Ajax wondered why this world waspletely dominated by the devourer eagles. Moreover questions like, ''What will they eat?'' ''Will they only survive on the pure essence of nature in the world?'' ''Or will they devour each other?'' Even though there were many questions regarding the survival of the devourer eagles, Ajax''s main focus was on searching for a hideout. At the same time, he kept an eye on any devourer eagles. Although he was not scared of them, he wanted to not mess up his n. So, he was alert with his surroundings. ''This underground cave might be a good hideout.'' After searching for who knows how long, he found a good hideout somewhere near the barren mountains where the devourer eagle king gave his speech. Because, Ajax heard from one of the devourer eagles, that the portal would be open in the center of the barren mountains. Soon, Ajax carefully entered an underground cave and since this world waspletely dominated by the devourer eagles, there were no other strongest spirit beasts. So, Ajax didn''t have any problems as he settled in the underground cave. "Illumination stones." As for the lighting in the underground cave, he used the illumination stones that emit light continuously ''Little blue,e out.'' Once he settled in the underground, he summoned the Turquoise spirit crane from the beast storage token. ''Swoosh'' Soon, she appeared in the cave and looked around her surroundings before asking, "Where are we?" After her bloodline increased, her body became very small. So, there was no problem for the spirit crane to settle in the underground cave. "We are in the devourer eagle king''s world. So, you better retract your presence and guard me while I cultivate." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax directly closed his eyes and didn''t bother exining anything to the spirit crane. ''What? Devourer eagle king''s world? Why the hell did wee here?'' Even though the spirit crane was less than two years old, she had awakened some of her ancestor''s memories and in those memories, there was a warning regarding the devourer eagles. Devour eagles'' favourite food was Spirit crane and when she heard Ajax''s words, the first thing she did was to retract her presence before asking Ajax through the voice transmission. ''...'' However, Ajax didn''t reply as he entered into his inner world to check on his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Ajax didn''t want to disturb them until now because they were still absorbing the excess Sacred Energy and since he didn''t have anything to do, he wanted to check how much his summons had increased their strengths and battle prowess. ''Swoosh'' "Master" As soon as Ajax appeared in the inner world, Gloria, the tree spirit of the ''Tree of blessing'' was the first person to greet him. ''Hm'' Ajax casually nodded his head at Gloria before transmitting his voice to all his summons, ''Everyone, gather here.'' Since it would take forever for him to visit each one of his summons, Ajax decided to summon all his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts to assemble in front of him. "Greetings, summoning master." "Roar" "Greetings, master." Within no time, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts rushed towards him and excitedly greeted him. "How are you all?" Looking at how excited his summons was, Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. "We feel powerful, summoning master." "When are you letting us fight in the outside world, master?" Soon, all the elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts were excitedly replied while asking other questions. Since they became very powerful all of a sudden because of the Sacred Energy, everyone wanted to test their strengths. "Soon." Ajax knew what they were thinking and he didn''t have any ns to keep them inside the inner world forever. "Once the devourer eagle king opens the portal to the other world, I will enter into the portal along with them. Then, of course, I need your help to take care of the devourer eagles along with the beings from the other world." Ajax didn''t hide anything from them and exined everything and asked them to wait for 15 more days. "That is great, summoning master." All the elemental spirits were eager to show their newly gained strength to their summoning master. So, they suppressed their excitement and nodded their heads. "How are your new elemental paradises? I upgraded them to grade 2." When he was inside the Sacred Pool, Ajax upgraded all the elemental paradises to grade 2. Currently, his highest grade elemental paradise was Mini dark abyss followed by grade 3 thunder pool. As for all the remaining elemental paradises, they were grade 2. So, he asked how they are feeling in their new elemental paradises. "They are good. As long as we cultivate in those elemental paradises for long enough, reaching the peak elite general realm is not a big problem." Ignis exined to Ajax how good the grade 2 elemental paradises were. "Good to hear that. I will upgrade them to grade 3 soon." Ajax nodded his head as he assured them to increase the grade of the elemental paradises before ordering, "Now, it''s time for you to inform me about your cultivation." **** The author needs your support.

Chapter 1005: Huge Development

"Volcanis, let''s start from you." Ajax asked everyone to say their cultivation as it would be easier for him to remember and chose Volcanis to start with. "My cultivation is now level 6 elite elemental general realm. As for the elementalw''s, one is at level 2 Celestial fire realm and the other one is level 1 Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids." Nodding his head Volcanis stepped forward before informing him about his recent achievements. ''What? Level 6 elite general realm and level 2 elementalw.'' Ajax was shocked by Volcanis words; however, he didn''t show it on his face as he praised him. Even though Volcanis had good achievements because of the Sacred Energy, he was not at all arrogant or proud because he knew the reason for his strength was Ajax. From the start until now, it was Ajax who helped him be what he was today. So, he was eternally grateful for Ajax. Not only Volcanis, not a single elemental spirit or contracted spirit beast showed any proud or arrogant look on their faces with their recent achievements. "Necros, level 8 elite elemental general realm." "Bane, level 7 elite elemental general realm." "Zen, peak elite elemental general realm with level 1 dark region elementalw." . . . . Soon, one after another elemental spirit informed their cultivation realms along with their other achievements if they had any from recent enhancement from the Sacred Pool. Among all the elemental spirits, Zen became the most powerful elemental spirit all of a sudden because not only his cultivation rose to the peak elite general realm, but he even learned an elementalw. As for the elemental spirits that were at level 1 elemental general realm, they were directly elevated to level 1 elite elemental general realm. Nevertheless, there were few elemental spirits that progressed a lotpared to the other elemental spirits like Spirus, ris, Novis, Haze, Neig and Floris. ris and Novis were the water elemental spirits, so their cultivation speed was around 30 times their original speed and double whenpared to other elemental spirits. Spirus, Haze, Neig and Floris had reached level 3 elite general realm because of their greater affinity element with the Sacred Energy. Last for not least, it. Although he was an earth elemental spirit, since Ajax summoned him when he was in the Sacred Pool, he was able to enjoy the Sacred Pool''s benefits fully. So, his cultivation was higher than Spirus and others as it reached level 5 elite general realm. "Everyone became so powerful. No wonder you wanted to fight." Ajax jokingly replied to the elemental spirits and looked at the contracted spirit beasts for them to start saying their cultivation. "Brother Ajax, I will say." The little golden bear king who was in the form 10-year-old kid excitedly jumped and before could say anything, he already started saying, "I sessfully entered into rank 6 whereas my father reached peak 6." Since Dan, the senior golden bear king, was already a rank 6 spirit beast before he could enter the Sacred Pool, Ajax was not surprised at their improvement. If he learned any beastw, then Ajax might have been surprised and looked at the other spirit beasts. "Master, I too reached peak rank 6. I want to go out and destroy something." Next, the Divine destructive dragon excitedly mmed his tail on the ground as he informed his cultivation. "Damilus, the Sea Taurus, I reached peak rank 6." "ck kitty and Red kitty reached peak rank 6. "Monkey and Leopard reached peak rank 6" Soon, all the spirit beasts started saying their own cultivation and everyone reached peak rank 6 which shocked Ajax. ''Looks like Sacred Energy is more valuable than I thought.'' Finally, Ajax understood why System asked him to enter the Sacred Pool even though it would not help his cultivation. ''But the problem is where should I find more Sacred Energy?'' Ajax shook his head because currently, he was clueless regarding any Sacred Energy source other than the Sacred Pool; however, even that Sacred Pool was entirely emptied by the tree of blessing and me. "Okay everyone, you already became so powerful. It is me who is weak but don''t worry, I am working one increase my cultivation. So, I will catch up to you within no time." Since he already started the World destroying mission, he could only patiently wait for the next 15 days and as long as his n works, his cultivation would be increased by two levels. That''s right! Ajax wanted to destroy the other world to which the devourer eagle king was opening the portal. Nevertheless, he will not destroy it; instead, he will save if the world is worth saving. ''Moreover, as long as my n works, I don''t have to worry about the ticket to the other smaller worlds.'' Ajax was putting all his hopes on his n because as long as it was sessful, he didn''t have to worry about the rest of the world-destroying mission. "Don''t worry, master. You can take your own time because you are already powerful for your current age." Volcanis and others were already satisfied with their current strength. Moreover, their master was just a 15 year old young man who already became a level 2 general realm cultivator. So, they politely said that Ajax was already powerful for his age. "Sigh...you don''t understand." Hearing their words, Ajax shook his head. Even though he could kill a level 5 elite general realm cultivator with a thought, his cultivation was very low. Moreover, when he entered into the elite general realm, he could finally take revenge on the assassin sect. "To reach the elite general realm, I have to destroy 9 worlds. So, I need to hurry up.'' Of course, Ajax didn''t say these words to his summons; instead, he thought to himself. "Anyway, let me help you increase all your cultivations to the peak elite general realm." ***** The author needs your support.

Chapter 1006: Buying Elemental Law Stones

Even though all his elemental spirits had already be powerful, Ajax still had ways to help them be more powerful. So, why would he not use those ways? "Really?" Elemental spirits like Halo and others who only had the cultivation of level 1 elite general realm asked Ajax with excited looks on their faces. "Of course." Ajax nodded his head with a confident smile on his face. After saying that, Ajax silently asked the system, ''System, show me the prices for Elite General realm elemental spirit stones and King realm elemental spirit stones.'' Ajax wanted to know the prices of those two elemental stones because he wanted topare the prices between those two stones. Elite general realm spirit stones only have fifty percent of sess. Moreover, even if was sessful, the elemental spirit''s cultivation would only progress by a single level; instead of the whole realm. As for the King realm elemental spirit stone, it would help an elemental spirit directly increase their cultivation from level 1 to peak level 10 elite general realm and the sess rate is 100 percent. However, Ajax was sure the price would be so huge. Nevertheless, he wanted topare thse two stones before buying one among them. ''Ding, Elite general realm elemental spirit stone costs 1500 spirit points. ''Ding, King realm elemental spirit stone cost 25000 spirit points. As soon as he asked about the price, the system sent two notifications that gave Ajax quite a scare. ''They are so expensive.'' That was the only thought in his head because a general realm elemental spirit stone only costs 100 spirit points. However, now the elemental spirit store is charging him 15 timespared to the previous elemental stone. ''As for this King realm elemental spirit stone, I think the price is within my expectations.'' Next, he thought about the King realm elemental spirit stone. Because reaching the peak elite general realm is the highest cultivation anyone in this Zrochester province could reach. ''If I am very lucky, I could buy the 10 of the elite general realm elemental spirit stones for the level 1 elite general realm elemental spirits; however, I am not lucky and it would cost me 30000 spirit points. I better buy the King realm elemental spirit stone; however, at the same time, I can''t spend all the spirit points on their cultivation alone because raising their cultivation was easy whenpared to upgrading the elemental paradise or awakening an elementalw.'' Soon, Ajax fell into a dilemma as to which one he should buy now from the elemental spirit stone. As long as Ajax had enough fights, Ajax could help his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts in increasing their cultivation. However, when ites to helping them in awakening the elementalw, Ajax could not do anything. Moreover, almost all the elemental paradises he had in his inner world were only grade 2 and he wanted to increase their grade to grade 3. So, their cultivation speed would be increased at an incredible speed. "Summoning master, is something the matter?" Blood, the blood elemental spirit who noticed the frown on Ajax''s face, asked Ajax about it. "Nothing. Just give me a moment." Ajax shook his head as he started thinking about the three choices he had and what he had to choose among those three choices. ''System, what is the price for an elementalw stone and cost for upgrading the elemental paradise to grade 3.'' In the next second, Ajax asked about the prices for the other two choices he had. ''Ding, Both the elementalw stone and the upgrading cost for the grade 2 elemental paradise to grade 3 elemental paradise are 10000 spirit points. ''Ding, However, with the host''s current cultivation level, he can only buy three elementalw stones. ''Price for these two choices are good.'' After seeing the price of 25000 spirit points earlier, Ajax felt 10000 spirit points were good and thought, ''Herees the cultivation restriction again.'' When he saw the second system notification, Ajax could not help but shook his head. ''If there is no such restriction, I would buy an elemental stone for all the elemental spirits.'' Since every elemental spirit could learn an elementalw from thew stone and it was the main condition where many cultivators fail in awakening which in turn fails their attempt to enter the King realm, Ajax thought to buy the elementalw stones since they were very cheappared to the King realm elemental spirit stone. ''Okay then.'' Ajax didn''t think for much time beforeing to a conclusion and ordered the system, "I will buy three elementalw stones." Since he could only buy three elementalw stones, Ajax wanted to buy them first. ''Ding, Please choose the type of elementalw stone you want to buy. As soon as he ordered the system, it replied, asking him to choose the element type for the elementalw stone. ''Huh? Aren''t there universal elementalw stones?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the system notification and asked about the universal elementalw stone. Until now, whatever he got from the system were the mostly universal type of items. For example, he used to get universal spirit stones that could be used by any cultivator. Not only spirit stones, but even the elemental spirit stones were the same. So, he asked about it with a frown. ''Ding, No. Please choose three elements for the elementalw stones. ''Sigh'' Ajax sighed seeing the system notification before thinking about the elements for the elementalw stones. ''Zen, Necros, Bane, they have good cultivation, so giving them an elementalw stone will make them more powerful; however, Zen already has an elementalw, Bane has a powerful weapon like Five elemental poison and Necros has an invincible skill.'' Soon, Ajax started thinking about one elemental spirit after another as he started eliminating the elements for the elementalw stone. **** Daoist4WCKOK, thanks for the INSPIRATION CAPSULE, MASSAGE CHAIR. **** Mass releases will be given for BIG GIFTS. Chapter 1007: Buying Skill Crystals

Chapter 1007: Buying Skill Crystals

Even if an elemental spirit awakened an elementalw without any elementalw stone, then they could use an elementalw stone to learn another elementalw. That is the reason why Ajax thought about Zen even when he had already awakened an elementalw without an elementalw stone. However, it was the same reason why Ajax eliminated Zen because there were other elemental spirits without any elementalw. ''Cerauno''s case is also simr to Zen, so, I think, it is better to remove Cerauno from the list.'' ''Volcanis and Ignis already used an elementalw stone. So, they can''t use it.'' ''Spirus, it¡­.'' Soon, he gave a reason for every elemental spirit''s name from the list to remove and finally found three names where he didn''t find any major reason to remove them. And of course, they were none other than "Halo, Blood and Prophis." These rare auxiliary elemental spirits. ''Even though they were still at level 1 elite general realm, they could already fight with level 9 and level 10 elite general realm cultivators without any problem. So, giving them the elementalw stones is equivalent to giving wings to the tigers.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax bought informed the three elements to the system. ''Ding, 30000 spirit points are deducted to buy three elementalw stones (Blood, Space and Time) ''Ding, Remaining spirit points:- 438000. Soon, three shining crystals appeared in his inventory and with a thought, he summoned them out. "Blood, Halo and Prophis, I have these things for you." While saying those words, Ajax three the three elementalw stones at them. "Th..this is.." All three elemental spirits were shocked for a moment before replying to Ajax at the same time, "Thanks for such an invaluable item." "I will be relying on your unique skills in theing days. So, you better awaken the elementalw in them as soon as possible." Ajax''s face was serious while saying those words and those three elemental spirits nodded their heads before leaving to their elemental paradises to awaken the new elementalw. "As for those who are yet to awaken an elementalw, I am sorry to say this but I can''t provide you with the elementalw stones anytime soon. So, you have to work hard and awaken an elementalw on your own." Even though his actions seemed partial, Ajax didn''t have a choice as he could only buy three elementalw stones for now. "Don''t worry about it, summoning master. You are already giving us a lot of cultivational resources." The elemental spirits that are yet to awaken an elementalw replied to Ajax with slight smiles on their faces. Ajax was touched by their words and decided to give them something. So, with a thought, he asked about the Skill crystals for the elemental spirits. ''Ding, Normal skill crystal cost 1000 spirit points whereas an auxiliary skill crystal cost 2000 spirit points. ''Nice. They are very cheap.'' After seeing the cost for the elemental skill crystals, Ajax felt he could give one to all his elemental spirits. ''System, I want a skill crystal for every elemental spirit I have.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered the system about the quantity he wanted. ''Ding, Currently, the host has 22 elemental spirits under him. Among them, 10 are auxiliary elemental spirits. ''Ding, 12 normal skill crystals cost 12000 spirit points. ''Ding, 10 auxiliary skill crystals cost 20000 spirit points. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of him and all the skill crystals were added to his system inventory. "Don''t worry. I will give you these crystals." Once he saw the skill crystals in his inventory, he took them out and gave them to all the elemental spirits and he even sent Zan, little golden bear king to give the skill crystals to Blood, Prophis and Halo. "Thank you, summoning master." "We will definitely show how powerful we became and will be in the future." Soon, all the elemental spirits expressed their gratitude to Ajax. While the elemental spirits were expressing their gratitude, all the contracted spirit beasts were a little jealous because Ajax was giving everything to the elemental spirits. First, he gave every elemental spirit their own elemental paradise,ter, he gave the elementalw stones for three elemental spirits and now he even gave the skill crystals to all the elemental spirits. Actually, it was not like Ajax didn''t want to give his contracted spirit beasts anything. All the items he bought from the elemental spirit store could only be used by the elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts couldn''t use them. "As for you, I don''t have much to give you." Ajax could only say those words to them with a bitter smile on his face; however, he suddenly thought about something. "Zan, did you give the skill crystals to them already?" Ajax asked the little golden bear king. "Yes, brother." He excitedly nodded his head with a smile on his face. Among all the contracted spirit beasts, Zan was the only one who was not jealous or bothered by the elemental spirits. "This is called special spirit beast food." While saying that, he took out one portion of special spirit beast food and gave it to Zan. "Wow...this smells delicious." Even though it was just a pill without any smell for Ajax, it was different in the eyes of the spirit beasts. As soon as he received the pill, the little golden bear king tossed it into his mouth because all the spirit beasts'' eyes were on the pill. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he tossed the pill, Zan''s body shone with yellow coloured light before disappearing without a trace. ''Ding, The special spirit beast food has no effect on the little golden bear king. ''Sigh'' Ajax sighed with the system notifications and took out another pill from the inventory before giving it to Zan. Just like before, he once again tossed it into his mouth and soon his body started shining with a bright golden colour. **** Mass releases will be given for Big gifts. Chapter 1008: Golden Bear Kings Domain

Chapter 1008: Golden Bear King''s Domain

Everyone became curious when they saw the golden light on Zan''s body that was much bigger than the previous one. ''I hope he learns a beastw.'' And the most excited and curious one among all the contracted spirit beasts would be Zan''s father, Dan, the senior golden bear king. He was already a peak rank 6 re-cultivated spirit beast; however, he still didn''t have the signs of awakening a beastw and ording to him, it would take him time. However, when he saw his son was glowing with the bright goldenw, it would mean that he was awakening something from his ancestral memories. So, among all the things that could be gained, beastw would be the most valuable one that anyone could get from ancestral memories. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast for learning a beastw ''Golden bear king''s domain''. ''What?'' The golden light didn''tst for much time before disappearing from Zan''s body; however, at the same time, Ajax got the system notification, making him shocked. Because he didn''t expect Zan would awaken a beastw so soon. ''Haha'' Soon, he startedughing because it was a good thing and thought, ''Even though it took two portions, they are worth it.'' Ajax didn''t think about the previous portion of the special spirit beast food and patted the head of the little golden bear king. "Also, I suddenly remembered something." Soon, Ajax looked at his contracted spirit beasts and continued, "In theing days, we will be killing the devourer eagles. So, you can consume them as much as you want. I will order the elemental spirits to not consume them." Generally, the spirit beast''s cultivation would be increased at an incredible speed if they consumed other spirit beasts. The more powerful the other spirit beast was, the higher the cultivation they would gain. Also, in the case of average or less powerful spirit beasts, his contracted spirit beasts just have to consume more and more spirit beasts. "We will wait for the time you summon us out, Master." All the contracted spirit beasts were excited when they heard Ajax''s words and replied to him while suppressing their excitement. "Good." Finally, Ajax was relieved when they saw their excitement. Earlier they were a little jealous towards the elemental spirits; however, with just a little promise, they were excited because not only they could increase their cultivation by consuming the devourer eagles but they knew a little information that the devourer eagles'' meat is very delicious. Even though most of the elemental spirits under him would not consume the spirit beasts to increase their cultivation, there were still a few elemental spirits like Blood, Necros, Zan, Dabrus and Floris. So, basically, he wanted to make everyone believe that he was showing partiality towards the contracted spirit beasts. ''I can always increase the cultivation of the elemental spirit beasts easily. So, this time, those five elemental spirits have to sacrifice their meals.'' Ajax silently thought in his head before saying, "Okay everyone. Go and do whatever you want for the next 15 days; however, when I summon you out, you should be in your full forms to kill all the devourer eagles." "Definitely." All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were excited and nodded their heads before going back to their ces. "Brother Ajax, when will Ghoste back?" While everyone was leaving, Zan walked towards Ajax and asked in a low voice. From the voice, Ajax could clearly say that Zan was missing the four-eyed ghost fox whom he left in the five elemental world with his father to build the Ghost fox tribe. "Sigh...I am missing him too." Ajax sighed as he was also missing the ghost fox who used to jump around in the inner world. "Don''t worry, he wille back soon. Currently, he is with his father and it''s been years since he got separated from his father. So, let him stay with his father for some time." Ajax exined in a way where the little golden bear king would understand. "Yeah. I don''t like being separated from my father too. Let hime back on his own." As soon as he finished his words, Zan rushed towards his father while Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''System, show me the information on the beastw that Zan awakened just now.'' At the same time, he asked the system about the beastw as he was curious about it and wanted to know more about it. ''Ding, Beastw''s name:- Golden bear king''s domain (level 1). Effect:- When activated, a 10 meters domain appears around the spirit beast and the beast''s battle prowess and skills will be increased by a factor of five for five minutes. Beastw''s skill:- Golden bear king''s smash. Skill description:- When the spirit beast punches something within his domain, then no matter how powerful the defence is, it will be broken. Note:- 1) This skill can be used only once in 24 hours. 2) It can''t break the King realm cultivator''s defence. ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax was shocked by the skill associated with the beastw. Even though the beastw was good, it was not enough for Ajax to get shocked; however, it can''t be said the same for the skill because the skill makes the little Zan powerful enough to kill any peak elite general realm cultivators even if they have high-level cultivator''sw. ''I think it will be my trump card to kill the Devourer eagle king.'' Ajax had a crazy idea in his head when he looked at the silhouette of the running golden bear king. Although he had the powerful elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts, they didn''t have the ignore defence skill. That means, if an opponent has a powerful defensive skill, then all his powerful summons were useless; however, Zan has a skill that could be very helpful in his current cultivation realm. ***** Beastlyking92, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR. David_Hamilton_1887, thanks for the LUXURY CAR. Chapter 1009: Upgrading

Chapter 1009: Upgrading

''System, how many grade 2 elemental paradises do I have in the inner world?'' After checking the little golden bear king''s beastw, Ajax asked the system about the elemental paradises. ''Ding, Currently, the host has a total of 28 elemental paradises and among them, 26 elemental paradises are grade 2, whereas the other two elemental paradises are grade 3 and grade 4. ''Hm...grade 3 elemental paradise must be the mini thunder pool. As for the grade 4 elemental paradise, it is ''mini dark abyss''.'' Ajax looked at the elemental paradises that were with him from the start and could not help but think about the past. ''Upgrade all the grade 2 elemental paradises to grade 3.'' Soon, he shook his head and ordered the system to upgrade the elemental paradises. ''Ding, To upgrade a single grade 2 elemental paradise into a grade 3 elemental paradise, requires 10000 spirit points. Are you sure you want to upgrade all 26 of them? Just like always, the system sent a confirmation notification asking whether Ajax was sure about his decision. Because the transaction amount would be 260000 spirit points which was quite big. Soo, the system didn''t consume the spirit points immediately. ''I am sure. Just upgrade them all.'' There was no hesitation on Ajax''s face when he confirmed the system''s notification because he knew the benefits of having high-grade elemental paradises. Not only would they help him increase the cultivation of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts but they would even help the elemental spirits in awakening new skills, elementalws and many more. So, instead of spending all his spirit points on buying the skill crystals and elementalw stones, he felt it was a better thing for him to upgrade the elemental paradises. ''Ding, 260000 spirit points are consumed and the up gradation of the 26 grade 2 elemental paradises is started. ''Ding, The construction will be finished in 30 days; however, the host didn''t have to worry about summons as they could still retain the benefits of the grade 2 elemental paradises until the upgrade for the elemental paradises arepleted. Just as he gave the confirmation to the system, he received a couple of system notifications making him nod his head. ''So, how many spirit points do I still have in my ount?'' After the transaction, Ajax asked the system about the remaining spirit points. ''Ding, Remaining spirit points:- 146000. ''I keep them for emergencies.'' Ajax felt it was better to have the spirit points with him so that he could use them when he suddenly needed some power. For example, he could buy a legendary grade elemental spirit weapon for one of his elemental spirits with 100000 spirit points. Right now, he was not so extravagant to spend 100000 spirit points just to buy a single legend grade weapon. Moreover, he already has enough power with him for now, at least that''s what he thought and kept the remaining spirit points for an emergency. ''Looks like, I will just take a rest in the inner world for the next 15 days.'' Soon, Ajax walked towards the ''Tree of blessing'' where the essence of nature was much purer and sat down in a cross-legged position with his eyes closed. ¡­. Time continued to pass in the Devourer eagle king''s world and in a sh 14 days passed by. During the past 14 days, all the devourer eagles followed the devourer eagle generals and trained as hard as they could. Within a short 14 days, all the devourer eagles had seen a sharp rise in their cultivation. "Everyone, I received a voice transmission from our king. He said we will be invading our nearby smaller world the day after tomorrow. So, you need to rest for one day and should assemble at our usual meeting ce." Currently, the ten devourer eagle generals were at different ces with their own convocation of the devourer eagles as they informed the voice transmission they received from the devourer eagle king. "We will reach there in time, General." "Yes, general. We have been waiting for this chance for three years already." "We will win for sure this time." "I will definitely consume thousands of beings from that world and be stronger before consuming even more." "Yeah...yeah. I will do the same." Soon, all the devourer eagles became excited as they replied to the general. It was not their fault to be excited so much because in thest invading event, they were not strong enough and that was the reason they had to flee from the other world. However, the fire in them had grown too big during thest three years along with the special training from the devourer eagle generals from time to time, they became so powerful, at least that''s what they thought. "Silence." All 10 convocations at 10 different ces in the devourer eagle king''s world were filled with excited screeches and mutterings. So, the generals became annoyed and shouted at their own teams that contained millions of devourer eagles. "Just don''t forget what we have taught you in thest 14 days and work in formations. That is the only way to win against any world." As though all 10 devourer eagle kings were programmed, they said the same words to their minions. This time, they just nodded their eagle heads in understanding. "Okay then. You can go and rest for the next 24 hours before starting your journey to our meeting ce." All the devourer eagle generals were satisfied with their minions'' words before ordering them to leave. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, all the devourer eagles flew at an incredible speed. ''Screech'' After all their minions left, the ten devourer eagle kings screeched at the sky before flying to their usual meeting ce. "You all are here. Good." Just as all the devour eagle generals reached the meeting ce in the barren mountains, the huge devourer eagle king was already sitting in the center of the barren mountains. **** Waiting for the first DRAGON and MAGIC CASTLE. Chapter 1010: [Bonus Chapter]Two beast laws

Chapter 1010: [Bonus Chapter]Two beastws

In the center of many barren mountains, a 100-meter huge browned coloured devourer eagle sat on the ground. In front of him, there were ten 10-meter huge simr coloured eagles sitting with great respect in their eyes. "Your majesty, we have done as you said, We trained them and made them believe that they were very strongpared to thest time." "Yes, your majesty. Those little minions of ours are so excited for the invasion the day after tomorrow." . . All the devourer eagle generals inform the devourer eagle king with an evil look in their eyes. "Your majesty, is there something you wanted us here?" However, only one of them didn''t inform the King; instead, he asked for the reason why the King summoned them here. "I like the first general a lot for his ''Straight to the point attitude...Haha." With a majesticugh, the devourer eagle king continued, "I feel like breaking into the King realm; however, there is something that is stopping me and it is forming a soul from my beastw." "And the reason why I summoned you here is to give you some of my thoughts on beastw. I hope you all learn the ''Devour'' beastw." Without wasting any time, the devourer eagle king directly exined the reason why he summoned them. "Thank you, your majesty." Soon, all the devourer eagle generals were excited when they heard their King''s word. For them, reaching the peak rank 6 was not a big issue because all they had to do was to consume the other spirit beasts. However, awakening a beastw is very difficult. Also, it is very difficult when you are focusing on a specific beastw. Moreover, if the beastw they were trying to awaken was their second beastw, then it would be even more difficult. That''s right! They were trying to awaken a second beastw called ''Devour'' which was a rare but powerful beastw. As for the first beastw theyprehended was "Advanced eleration" which could help the flying type spirit beasts in their flight and ground type spirit beasts in fast movements. "A couple of centuries back, I was just a little fledgling; however, I consumed a rare being in one of the smaller worlds during my invasions with the previous king. Because of that, within no time, I reached the peak rank 6; however, to my bad luck, I awakened themon type of beastw ''Advanced eleration''." "Before that, even though I had the cultivation, I was constantly bullied by the previous king and his generals. One day, the same bullying happened where I identally killed one of the generals and to hide it, I consumed him." While the devourer eagle king was telling his past, all the devourer eagle generals were listening to his story because they knew why he was telling the story to them. In the initial words, they felt pity for their King because the constant bullying despite bing a peak rank 6 is just too much. However, soon, they realized, how their King be so powerful within a few decades and was able to overthrow the previous King. "Soon, there was something inside me that sought revenge for the constant bullying from the other general. So, I started killing them and devoured them one by one slowly increasing the insights into the ''Devour'' beastw and ''Advanced eleration''." "By the time I killed all the generals, I was able to increase ''Advanced eleration'' to level 10 and sessfully became the fastest devourer eagle in this entire world." Saying up to there, Devourer eagle king paused for a moment as though he was reminiscing the past. "So, you directly confronted the king and devoured him, right, your majesty?" Seeing that their King paused for a moment, one of the devourer eagle generals asked with great excitement in their eyes. "No." However, the devourer eagle king shook his head before saying, "Even though I became the fastest devour eagle, I knew I was not a match for him. So, I swore my loyalty to him until he was injured in one of our invasions. As soon as he was injured and resting in his pce, I saw an opportunity and devoured him." "That''s how I learned the ''devour'' beastw." With a shine in his eyes, the devourer eagle king finished talking about his past. "However, your majesty, this is not going to help us in awakening the ''Devour'' beastw." As usual, the first general replied to the King; however, there was respect in his eyes. "The actual part will being now." There was no anger in the devourer eagle king''s eyes as he continued, "Even though I learned a level 1 ''Devour'' by consuming the previous king, don''t forget I was able to upgrade it to level 10. The first thing you have to remember while consuming the other spirit beasts is to enjoy eating. " Soon, the devourere eagle king started giving pointers for his generals on how to awaken the beastw. The pointers given by him sounded very simple and any spirit beast or cultivator could understand it; however, the other beings were not as lucky as the devourer eagles. In short, they were only three main pointers. They were, 1) Enjoy eating. 2) Feel the flow of energy thates from eating. 3) Repeat the process for 10000 times and more. "Your majesty, is it that simple to awaken the ''Devour'' beastw?" All the devourer eagle generals were shocked with how simpe those pointers of their King sounded and asked him. "It is not simple for other beings; however, for us, the devoured eagles, it is easy as long as we follow the three steps." There was no one for him to say those pointers; however, he wanted the 10 generals under him to be powerful. So, he did everything in his power to help them be powerful. **** Waiting for the first DRAGON and MAGIC CASTLE. Chapter 1011: Special reward

Chapter 1011: Special reward

"Also, when I leave this world, I want one of you to be the King and select not more than 10 devourer eagles as your generals before training them just like how I did." Once he finished giving his pointers to the devourer eagle generals, the devourer eagle king started talking about the future. "Remember, you should not fight with one another and should not be jealous of the one that bes the King of this world. Do you understand?" When he said those words, the devourer eagle king looked very serious as he emitted his powerful cultivation to suppress his generals. "Yes, Your majesty. We will do as you say." The 10 devourer eagle generals hurriedly nodded their heads. "Also, only the King can raise 10 generals and the remaining nine of you should help him until you reach the King realm to leave this world." The devourer eagle king never bothered about the minions. All he cared about was that there should be a powerful devourer eagle king after he leaves the world. Generally, whenever a cultivator or spirit beast from the smaller world reaches the King realm, they would be elevated to a normal world that inhabits simr beings. Even if there were a small portion of simr beings in a normal world, they might be ascended to that world. Also, there are some cases that there were few beings that were capable of ascending directly to a greater world. In some other cases, a powerful being from the greater world could give them to their world even if they didn''t be a King realm cultivator or spirit beast; however, for that to happen, the cultivator from the Smaller world or Normal world to be very talented. "Yes, Your majesty." Everyone knew what their King was emphasizing on because they were nurtured by him. So, they nodded their heads and no devourer eagle general wants to stay in the devourer eagle king''s world to y king. All they wanted was to break into the King realm and leave the world; however, it would take centuries for them to reach that point as their current age was only 10 years. That''s right! They were born just 10 years ago and already reached peak rank 6 with level 5 ''Advancement elertation'' beastw. And how did that happen? It was only because of the devourer eagle king''s special nurturing. So, they were absolutely loyal to the current devourer eagle king. "Anyway, you also need to take some rest. This invasion is very important for me to be a King realm spirit beast. So, take enough rest and prove that nurturing you 10 is the wisest thing I did in my life." Soon, the devourer eagle king shooed his generals as he looked at the sky that turnedpletely ck a few moments ago with some stars here and there. "Yes, your majesty." All the devourer eagle generals were tired after training their millions of minions for thest 14 days. So, they nodded their heads before flying back to their homes. ''This time, I need to break into the King realm at any cost.'' After everyone left, the devourer eagle king muttered to himself as he was looking forward to his invasion this time. ... Soon, another day passed by in a sh. It''s been 15 days since Ajax entered an underground cave. Currently, Ajax was resting in the inner world in his spirit consciousness form whereas his real body was sitting cross-legged in the underground cave. ''Damn it...how long is he going to sit there without doing anything?'' ''I have been sensing a powerful aura of the devourer eagle from thest couple of days along with a few other powerful auras of the devourer eagles that I sensed yesterday.'' In front of him, a small blue-coloured spirit crane was moving here and there while cursing Ajax for bringing her into such a dangerous world filled with devourer eagles. ''It is said that the devourer eagle won''t even leave bones behind after consuming their prey.'' Little blue was searching all the information about the devourer eagles in her head and the more information she learned, the more frightened it became. Even though she was more powerful than any of the spirit cranes in history, she can''t be med for frightening so much when she heard the name of the devourer eagles because devourer eagles prey on spirit cranes. ''Ding, The construction for the 26 grade 2 elemental paradises into grade 3 elemental paradises ispleted. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for having more than 25 grade 3 elemental paradises. ''Ding, The system is rewarding the host a chance to instantly upgrade a grade 3 elemental paradise into grade 4. Please choose which grade 3 elemental paradise the host wants to upgrade. While the turquoise spirit crane was frightened to death, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him wake from his sleep. ''Huh? So soon?'' Ajax was shocked when he read the system notifications as he didn''t think 15 days would be over so soon. ''So, is it finally time for the devourer eagle king to open the portal to the other world?'' Ajax only read the first system notification before thinking about the portal. ''Since System didn''t inform me about the portal, he must have not opened the portal yet. Until then, I will check the other system notifications.'' Before taking a rest, Ajax already ordered the system to inform him and the system itself agreed without asking anything in return. So, he looked at the system notifications in front of him. ''What?? I can upgrade an elemental paradise to grade 4? Excellent.'' Ajax was not excited much regarding the upgrade of 26 grade 3 elemental paradises because he paid for them; however, he was surprised and excited with an additional reward from the system just for having more grade 3 elemental paradises. "Which one should I upgrade now?" Ajax only felt three elemental paradises were worth nurturing; however, he was in a dilemma to pick one of them. Chapter 1012: Prophecy

Chapter 1012: Prophecy

Blood, Space and Time. These are the three elemental paradises he felt he should choose from to upgrade them to grade 4 elemental paradise instantly. Even though there was only a single elemental spirit for each elemental paradise, a grade 4 elemental paradise would give that elemental spirit many benefits. And among all his elemental spirits, it was a known fact that Blood, Space and Time elemental spirits would be very helpful. ''Among these three elemental spirits, the Blood elemental spirit can find his own resources from the blood of others. So, it leaves me with Prophis and Halo.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to eliminate Blood after thinking for a moment and started considering the pros and cons between the Prophis and Halo. ''System, give me the full information of Prophis and Halo.'' From ancient times, Time and Space are rare and mysterious elements, it was very hard to progress cultivation in them. So, Ajax didn''t dare to eliminate one of them carelessly and regret itter. Currently, he wanted to find out which elemental spirit would be more useful for him in theing days and based on that, he wanted to make a decision regarding the upgrading of the elemental paradise. ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Prophis Cultivation level:- Level 1 elite elemental spirit general. Skills:- Teleport (Level 6), Dimensional de (level 5), Inner world (level 4), Spatial maniption (level 3), Spatial Lock (level 2) and Portal creation (level 1). ''Ding, Elemental spirit name:- Halo Element type:- Time Cultivation:- Level 1 elite elemental? general realm. Skills:- Time Halt (level 6), Lifespan absorber (level 5), Lifespan blessing (level 4), yback (level 3), Timeline hypnosis (level 2) and Prophecy (Level 1). Soon, theplete information regarding the two elemental spirits appeared in front of him with all their skills. After reaching the level 1 elite elemental spirit general realm, they awakened one more skill. ''Let''s see how powerful those two skills are.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax focused on thetest skills on the two elemental spirits. ''Ding, Skill name:- Portal Creation (level 1). Effect:- It enables the elemental spirit to create a portal between two ces. Note:- 1) The current portal creation distance is 100000 kilometers. 2) Portals can only be created to the ces to which the elemental spirit previously visited. Description:- A skill unique to high-level space elemental spirits only. ''Ding, Skill name:- Prophecy (level 1) Effect:- With the help of this skill, the elemental spirit can predict the future of others except for himself, his master and his friends. Note:- 1) It is not 100 percent correct. Description:- A rare skill that belongs to one of the ancient profession called Oracle. ''Holy heavens'' After seeing the information of the two skills, Ajax was shocked to the core. Because one of the skills was what he was waiting for and whereas the other skill would be very useful for him to gain talented followers. ''Damn it...I thought it might be useful to check their new skills but it made me fall into a dilemma even more.'' Ajax revealed a bitter smile as he looked at the two new skills. ''Let it be. I will upgrade the Time elemental paradise.'' Finally, Ajax stopped thinking much about it as he came to a conclusion regarding the elemental paradise. ''System, I choose to upgrade Time elemental paradise to grade 4.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax ordered the system to upgrade the Time elemental paradise because he remembered that he had a n to tame the devourer eagle king who could create a portal between worlds. So, he thought Prophis could wait for his grade 4 space elemental paradise. ''Ding, Upgrading the grade 3 Time elemental paradise to grade 4. Please wait a couple of minutes. ''I wonder why it requires less time when ites to the reward but when I use the spirit points, it would take weeks toplete.'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax wondered about it; however, he knew that the system would not reply to him. So, he didn''t ask. ''Also, I can even upgrade the grade 3 space elemental paradise to grade 4 using the spirit points.'' When he thought of spirit points, Ajax decided to upgrade the Space elemental paradise, as long as the price is appropriate. With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system, ''System, what is the price for upgrading a grade 3 elemental paradise into grade 4?'' ''Ding, It requires 100000 spirit points along with a hidden condition to be met. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the price and rubbed his eyes to check it once again. ''100000 spirit points are already too much and there is still a Hidden condition? Looks like it will take a very long time before I could upgrade the space elemental paradise.'' After seeing the system notification, Ajax lost the confidence to upgrade it anytime soon. So, he stopped bothering about it. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining another grade 4 elemental paradise. Within no time, Ajax got the system notification that made him reveal an excited smile and hurriedly went to the golden pool to check more information on the time elemental paradise. ''Ding, Elemental paradise:- Golden pool (Time) (grade 4) Effects:- 1) Heals all the wounds of all spirit beasts and elemental spirits regardless of elemental affinity. 2) Increases the cultivation speed by 10 times and a 10 percent chance to awaken a time elemental skill for the time elemental beings who cultivated in the pool for longer times. 3) Continuous staying in the pool and drinking the golden pool''s water can increase bloodline, elementalw and strength. 4) 50 percent chance in helping the element spirit increase the level of their skills. ''As expected of a grade 4 elemental paradise, it is so powerful.'' Ajax was satisfied with the new effect and the modified effects of the grade 4 elemental paradise. **** Sharky657, Pat_Bentz, thanks for the first and second DRAGONS. ***** Now, all that''s left is the first MAGIC CASTLE. Chapter 1013: Silly Little Blue

Chapter 1013: Silly Little Blue

Generally, a grade 3 elemental paradise has three effects and for a grade 4 elemental paradise, there would be one more additional effect. Moreover, the previous three effects would be modified and upgraded. However, among all the effects, what surprised Ajax a lot was the golden water in the golden pool will heal all the injuries for all the beings cultivating in it. ''No wonder there is a quote ''Time will heal everything''.'' Ajax remembered a quote as he slowly read the other effects. Overall, with a grade 4 time elemental paradise, not only the time elemental spirit but the other elemental spirits and spirit beasts would be benefited a lot. Because not only the grade 4 time elemental paradise will heal all the injuries of everyone but it will also help others in increasing their cultivation strength. As for elementalw, skills and skill upgrading, it was solely for the time elemental spirit. ''I did a good thing by upgrading the time elemental spirit.'' After reading the information regarding the grade 4 time elemental paradise, Ajax was satisfied with his decision. ''Thank you, summoning master.'' In the golden pool, Halo, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and thanked Ajax for sending the rich essenceing from the golden pool. Except for Ajax, no one could upgrade the elemental paradise. So, without thinking much, he thanked Ajax before going back to the cultivation of his elementalw. ''Why is it taking so much time for them to cultivate the elementalw?'' Ajax nodded his head at Halo before thinking about the time elementalw stone in Halo''s hand. Previously when he gave the elemental stones to Volcanis and Ignis, they were able to learn the elementalw within a couple of days. As for Halo, Prophis and Blood, it''s been 15 days since he gave them the elementalw stones; however, they were still cultivating. ''Looks like it will take some more time before they learn the elementalw; however, I can''t wait for them because the Devourer eagle king might open the portal any time now.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know how reliable Devourer Eagle king''s words were, he wanted to be ready when he opened the portal. With a thought, Ajax disappeared from the inner world and appeared back in his body. "So, no one entered this underground cave while I was cultivating." Opening his eyes, Ajax saw the tensed blue spirit crane and asked her with a smile on his face. ''You finally came out of your cultivation.'' The moment Little Blue saw Ajax open his eyes, she shouted at Ajax in a suppressed tone. Even though she acted like she was shouting, Ajax could barely hear her as she continued to speak, ''Above our heads, there are millions of devourer eagles and you are talking about no one entering into the underground cave.'' ''Do you know what will happen if they find us out?'' ''If I didn''t hide your presence with my skill, we would have long found out by them?'' ''Do you even know what you are doing?'' ''If you have said that you are taking me to the devourer eagle king''s world, I would have stayed back and fought with that aqua dragon.'' ''A world full of devourer eagles is more dangerous than a bunch of dragons, do you know that?'' Little blue, who was frustrated for thest 15 days vented out her anger at Ajax and said whatever she wanted to say to him during thest 15 days. ''...'' However, Ajax didn''t say anything as he just shook his head. ''Now, I feel a little relieved. So, what are you going to do now?'' After venting out all her anger, Little Blue looked a little betterpared to before and asked Ajax about his next ns. ''Do you really want to hear them?'' Ajax didn''t know whether he should say his ns to the little blue or not? It''s not like the spirit crane would benefit if he said his n; instead, he felt she would be scared even more. ''Since you brought me to this dangerous world, I want to know everything. Everything means everything. Including when we are going back.'' Little blue asked with a serious look in her eyes. ''Fine.'' Ajax thought about something for a moment before saying, ''We just need to hide for some more time until the devourer eagle king opens a portal to the other world and enters it.'' ''What? He will be opening the portal soon?'' Surprisingly, the mutated spirit crane was excited as she asked Ajax. ''Yes.'' Ajax confirmed his words with a single word. ''That''s great. ording to what I know, every time these devourer eagles invade other worlds, it would take a time period from one month to two months. So, all we have to do is wait until they leave and stay here until they return.'' The spirit crane muttered in a barely audible voice as she continued, ''Boss, your n is good. But how did wee here?'' ''What?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before feeling hrious at the conclusions of the mutated spirit crane; however, he didn''t bother to exin what he was really going to do next. Instead, he replied to her next question, ''I have my own ways. So, do you want to go back to the special beast token or stay outside?'' ''I always see how my natural predator''s world looks like. So, after they leave this world, I will roam it freely.'' While saying those words, the spirit crane was dancing freely. ''Your wish then.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he silently thought, ''Such a silly bird.'' Whenever the devourer eagle king ns an invasion, all the devourer eagles, young or old, it doesn''t matter. Everyone should participate in the invasion and devour as much as they want in the other world. ''Let''s see how it is outside.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax slowly climbed out of the underground cave. *** Efrathi, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR. *** Waiting for the first MAGIC CASTLE¡­^-^ Chapter 1014: Invasion Starts

Chapter 1014: Invasion Starts

# Bonus chapter for Dragon. Without wasting any time, he peeked out of the cave. ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax was shocked to see the brown cloud filled with millions of devourer eagles in the distance. Even though it was not his first time seeing such a huge number of devourer eagles, the aura emitted by them was dense. Currently, Ajax was around 10 kilometers away from the barren mountains but still, he could sense a terrifying aura emitted by the convocation of devourer eagles. ''There birds are just low-level ones, should I reconsider my n?'' Ajax frowned after seeing the aura emitted by the devourer eagles. .... In the center of the barren mountains, "Everyone, are you ready for the invasion?" The 100-meter huge devourer eagle king asked his minions in a loud voice. ''Screech'' In reply to his words, all the devourer eagles screeched at once shaking the barren mountains along with the underground cave that Ajax and little blue were staying in. "So, let''s start." Getting the reply he wanted from his minion, the devourer eagle king looked at his generals who also nodded their heads back at him before making his huge wings into a round shape in front of him. Everyone was watching their king with excited looks on their faces and waiting for the portal to open soon. ''Swoosh'' It didn''t take much time before a small portal around the size of a single human fist appeared in front of the devourer eagle king. If Ajax was to see it, he would have thought, ''How the hell are they going to pass through such a small portal?'' However, within no time, the small fist-size portal started growing and became as big as the devourer eagle king himself who was around 100 meters in height. ''Did he open the portal?'' Even though Ajax could not see the portal from his ce, he could sense the dense fluctuation of the essence of nature in the direction. ''Ding, Reminding the host, the portal to the other world is opened. Since Ajax asked the system to inform him when the portal was opened, it followed its duty and informed Ajax. ''Good. Now, all I have to do is wait until everyone enters the portal.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to execute his n as he wanted all the devourer eagles to enter the portal. ording to his assumptions, the devourer eagle king and his generals would enter the portal atst. So, he was waiting for the other devourer eagles to leave. "Everyone, our invasion starts now. Devour everything. Don''t leave a single thing behind." The devourer eagle king shouted at his minions and ordered them to enter the portal. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' With a screech, all the devourer eagles rushed into the portal without thinking much. It took not more than a minute for more than 100 million devourer eagles to enter the other world through the portal. ''Let''s go.'' After everyone left, the devourer eagle king and his generals entered with serious looks on their faces. For the devourer eagle king, this invasion was very important as it would help him be a King realm spirit beasts. As for the devourer eagle generals, they got all the pointers they needed regarding the devourerw and all they have to do is find a powerful prey to follow what they learned. ''Swoosh'' Soon, everyone entered the portal leaving an empty world behind. ''Damn it...they were much faster than I thought.'' As for Ajax, he was shocked at the speed at which everyone entered the portal and cursed them. "Little blue, I will be going through the portal. You can do whatever you want until Ie back." Since there was no one in the devourer eagle king''s world, Ajax didn''t speak through the voice transmission; instead, he directly spoke to the spirit crane before rushing towards the portal. Because he didn''t know how long the portal wouldst. So, he used the first and second effects of the ''Lightning cloud steps'' to reach the portal within a minute. ''Huf huf'' ''Thank god, it is still open.'' Without wasting any time, he jumped into the portal without thinking anything. ..... on the other side of the portal, The world that the devourer eagle king opened the portal was a Bronze demon world. It was a simr world that Ajax and other participants of the champions contest entered. Bronze demon world, a world that waspletely filled with the Bronze demons that belonged to the lowest ss amongst the demons. Compared to the 100 million devourer eagles that had just entered the world, this world had more than one billion bronze demons; however, they werepletely scattered all over the world. "Horn" The moment 100 million devourer eagles entered the world, there was a loud horn that resounded in every corner of the Bronze demon world. "Everyone, there is an invasion." "Everyone, be prepared to fight the iing invaders." "The more invaders you kill, the higher your rewards will be." All the bronze demon ''Generals'' in the world ordered their minions and motivated them for the uing battle with the invaders. Currently, no one knows who the invaders were; however, since some were invading their world, they would not show any mercy. "Huh? Devourer eagles?" However, somewhere in the depths of the Bronze demon world, four red-coloured eyes opened at the same time before saying those words. "If there is a King realm devourer eagle, I will just escape from this world." The being that just awakened was not in a hurry to run away; instead, ''It'' waited for the King of the devourer eagles to appear beforeing to a decision. .... ''Ding, The portal created by the devourer eagle king willst for at least a month. Unless he wants to close it, it will remain open. Just as he entered into the other world, he received a system notification that made Ajax didn''t whether he shouldugh or cry. *** The target for the Bonus Chapter:- 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1015: Bronze Demon King

Chapter 1015: Bronze Demon King

In the Bronze demon world, "You know what to do, right?" The moment the devourer eagle king entered the Bronze demon world, he didn''t waste any time as he asked his generals. "Yes, Your majesty." The devourer eagle generals nodded their heads before flying in the 10 different routes with their more than 100 million minions. In each group, there were more than 10 million devourer eagles and everywhere they went, they would directly kill and devourer the bronze demons. "I challenge the King of this world to form a one on one duel. Do you dare to ept it?" Once everyone left, the devourer eagle king flew into the air and challenged the king of the Bronze demon world. Even though his voice was low, his words resounded in the corners of the half-world. Moreover, he was sure that the other party would definitely hear his words. "Haha" In response to his words, there was a burst of loudughter from who knows which corner of the world. The devourer eagle king didn''t show any expression on his eagle face as he waited for theughter to stop. "Rumble" Soon, theughter came to an end and a rumbling sound started at the same time. "Stop hiding ande out to fight me." The devourer eagle king scoffed at the antics of the Bronze demon king and asked him toe out to fight. "Haha...you sure are gutsy to enter my world with just a 100 million devourer eagle." Just as the devourer eagle king''s words came to an end, a 500-meter huge bronze demon with two bronze horns and one silver horn on his forehead appeared out of the ground before scoffing at the devourer eagle king. "Why are you bothering about the armies when I asked for a one-one challenge? If you don''t fight me, I will just devour your billion bronze demons." With a nonchnt look on his face, the devourer eagle king replied to the bronze demon king. For the devourer eagle king who had reached the pinnacle of the elite general realm, other than the Bronze demon king, no one could withstand his single attack. So, if the bronze demon king didn''t want to fight him, he would sweep the entire world to break through into the King realm. It''s a win-win for the devourer eagle king. He either has to defeat and devourer the Bronze demon king or devourer the entire bronze demons in the world to break into the King realm. "Haha...if you had opened the portal to my world a couple of years ago, I would have run away the moment you appeared in this world; however, I became a King realm demon now." With a loudugh, the Bronze demon king replied to the devourer eagle. At the same time, the Bronze demon king releases the King realm pressure to show his cultivation. "So what? You belong to the lowest ss of the demons. So, no matter whether you be a King or Emperor, I can take care of you." When the devourer eagle king felt the cultivation pressure, he was a little surprised; however, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, he mocked the Bronze demon king. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the devourer eagle king disappeared from his ce and appeared 100 meters behind the Bronze demon king. ''Huh?'' Both the Bronze demon king and the devourer eagle king frowned while looking at their hands. ''He is very fast and I barely see him.'' Bronze demon king silently thought in his head as he looked at his left hand that had a small scratch left behind by the steel wing of the devourer eagle king. ''He is a lot tougher than I thought. No wonder, King realm cultivators are on another level.'' As for the devourer eagle king, he looked at the tip of his right wing and muttered to himself. Earlier, in less than a second, the devourer eagle used his ''Advanced eleration'' beastw along with his steelwing to cut the left hand of the bronze demon king; however, he found out it was useless. "So, your ''Advanced eleration'' reached its peak. No wonder you are confident in going against me." With a serious look on his face, the Bronze demon king turned towards the devourer eagle king and said those words. "So what? You can''t even prate through my normal defence and what if I activate my Demon soul? Haha." Before the devourer eagle could give a reply, a huge transparent bronze demon that looked just like the Bronze demon king appeared in front of him before forming an exoskeleton for the Bronze demon king. Just like any other being, a demon has the same set of conditions to be a Demon king. Demons must cultivate a demonicw and they have to condense it into a demonic soul. Only then they could break into the Demon King realm. .... ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax, who had entered the Bronze demon world, watched everything that was happening between the Devourer eagle king and the Bronze demon king. Even though Ajax knew about the demon soul, it was his first time watching someone use it in an actual battle. Back in the five elemental world, Master Red had a cultivator''s soul, he was unable to use it fully before Master Ren killed him. So, it was officially Ajax''s first time seeing it. ''Can he win against the demon king?'' Moreover, it was also his first time seeing a demon king. Although the bronze demon king belongs to the lowest demon ss, he was still a demon king. ''I will just wait and watch. Then, I will use those things if required to kill the demon king. At the same time, I can easily tame this devourer eagle king.'' Ajax was in no hurry to rush and fight the demon king now as he nned to wait and see how powerful the devourer eagle king is. **** cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA x 2. ***** Target for the Bonus Chapter:- 150 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1016: [Bonus Chapter]Bronze Demon King Vs Devourer Eagle King

Chapter 1016: [Bonus Chapter]Bronze Demon King Vs Devourer Eagle King

As for why Ajax was still confident in his n even after seeing the Bronze Demon King, was because of the items he had on him. Items like Elegant walker''s scroll, Primeval Ent''s fruits of attack, defence and support and some other things that would help him go against a King realm cultivator without a problem. However, he had to be very careful; otherwise, he would die before he could notice what went wrong. ''Even though I didn''t expect there would be a King realm cultivator in this world, it is a good thing for me? in taming the devourer eagle king.'' Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he cheered inside his heart, ''Go Bronze demon king go. Make the devourer eagle king lose all the hope.'' That''s right! He cheered the bronze demon king instead of the devourer eagle king. If the devourer eagle king hears Ajax''s cheers, he would ask him, ''Bro, what did I do to you? Is there a blood feud between us?'' However, Ajax would have replied with a righteous look, ''Sorry eagle? bro, this world is so cruel and you have to adapt to it as quickly as possible to survive.'' ... "Really?" Coming back to the devourer eagle king, hearing the bronze demon king''s words, he scoffed at him before shouting, ''Bestialw, ''Devour'', activate.'' Since the other party had already used the demonic soul, the devour eagle king didn''t waste his time as he directly activated level 10 ''Devour''w. "Are you kidding me? Do you want to go against a King realm soul with a bestialw? Haha.'' As a King realm expert, why would the Bronze demon king fear a peak rank 6 spirit beast? Moreover, the spirit wants to fight him with a bestialw when he already condensed a demonic soul from the demonicw. "Just wait and see." Even though the bronze demon king was mocking the devourer eagle king from the beginning, it didn''t affect the devourer eagle king as he was already used to it from a young age. Instead, his battle spirit was rising with each word that came from the bronze demon king. ''What the hell? Did he have some kind of skill or what? Why is he not showing the slightest fear despite me shouting so many mocking words?'' Although he became a demon king, he still didn''t get used to his power and the most important thing is his foundation was not fully solidified. So, seeing the fearless look on the devour eagle king''s eyes, the Bronze demon king felt something was not right. ''Why should I take a chance with this bird. I will just use all the trump cards I have with me. Moreover, I heard not only these devourer eagles taste so good but they will provide huge energy.'' Soon, the Bronze demon king came to a conclusion to use all the trump cards he had in his hands. "Rise, me demon generals. Kill that bird." Without wasting any time, the Bronze demon king summoned his strongest generals who had the peak elite general realm cultivation with demonicws. ''Rumble'' Hearing the Bronze demon king''s summoning call, many elite demon generals rushed towards their King to aid him. ''Holy heavens'' Ajax was shocked by the appearance of the elite demon generals that came from the underground. Unlike elite demon generals he killed in the previous bronze demon world, they looked much more powerful and bigger. Each elite demon general looked around 100 meters in height as they surrounded the devourer eagle king and there were more than 100 of them. "Thanks for summoning them. I wanted to devourer something powerful to increase my power to fight against you." After seeing the 100 elite demon generals around him, the devourer eagle king became excited as he thanked the Bronze demon king. And as soon as he finished his words, it moved at a lightning speed and shed the necks of the elite demon generals before swallowing their heads in a single gulp. Unlike the Bronze demon king, these elite demon generals'' bodies were not strong. So, the devourer eagle king used his speed to killed 10 of them in a single flight. ''What?'' Bronze demon king didn''t expect to get fooled by the devourer king as he saw 10 of his elite demon generals were killed in an instant. "Damn you, little bird." Furious. Bronze demon king became furious as he cursed the devourer eagle king and used one of his attacks, ''Demon King''s protection.'' As soon as he said that a thinyer appeared on the remaining 90 elite demon generals. "Devourer clones, go and consume the bodies of the fallen elite demon generals." Devourer eagle king didn''t bother with Bronze demon king as he summoned 10 small devourers that looked like him; however, they were only one meter in size. As soon as they were summoned, they rushed towards the headless elite demon generals and started eating them. Right in front of the Bronze demon king''s eyes, they were devouring the elite demon generals and it took less than 100 seconds for the small devourer eagles topletely devourer the 10 heartless bodies. ''Swoosh'' As for the devourer eagle king, he was busy with taking two of the elite demon generals into the sky before releasing them. Everything happened in less than two minutes as another two of the elite demon generals were killed by the devourer eagle king. "Everyone, attack him." Bronze Demon King became even more furious as he ordered his elite demon generals to attack the devourer eagle king at once. ''Thud thud'' ''Thud'' Along with them, the bronze demon king also moved towards the devourer eagle king. ''Swoosh'' Since everyone was moving towards him at once, the devourer eagle king could only escape in the sky. So, he flew towards the sky at an incredible speed. "Do you think you can escape just like that?" With a scoff, the bronze demon king materialized a huge transparent hand with the help of his demonic soul and caught the devourer eagle king. ***** No gifts. ***** The target for the Bonus Chapter:- 150 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1017: Bronze Demon King''s Curse

A few moments ago. ''Looks like a very interesting battle is about to happen. I should enjoy it and learn something from it if possible.'' With an interesting look on his face, Ajax looked at the devourer eagle king which was surrounded by the elite demon generals. ''Hm...since I will be staying here for a while, why don''t I let my summons out and have some fun.'' Suddenly, he thought about the promise he gave to his summons about letting them out of the inner world to fight. Without wasting any time, he ran some distance away from the battle that was about to happen. ''This distance should be fine.'' Once he felt he was a sufficient distance away from the fight, he muttered, ''Everyone,e out.'' ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts except for the Arcane spirit turtle appeared beside him. "As I promised, I am letting you out. Kill both devourer eagles and the bronze demons; however, I don''t want a single casualty." Looking at the excited summons in front of him, Ajax said in a serious tone. ''Also, those who didn''t have escaping skills, then form a team with those who have them.'' Once an elemental spirit or contracted spirit beasts were to be killed, they couldn''t be revived. Moreover, each death, it would leave a bacsh on the master. So, Ajax was serious when he said those words. "Yes, summoning master." "Yes, master." All the contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits understood Ajax''s concerns and hurriedly nodded their heads as they could not wait to start the fight. "One more thing, if possible, try to capture the devourer eagle generals alive. You can go now." As soon as Ajax finished his words, all the spirit beasts and elemental spirits rushed into various directions. Among all, the Divine destructive twilight dragon was the first one to rush off into the distance because he had been holding his urge to destroy for quite some time. Moreover, his cultivation also increased aftering out of the Sacred Pool. So, he started his path of destruction. "Huh?" However, two elemental spirits didn''t move from their ces making Ajax frown. "What about you two? You don''t want to join them for the fight?" Ajax asked them with a confused look on his face. Because until now, they were urging him to let them out of the inner world; however, when he asked them to leave, they were still standing in front of him without moving. "Summoning master, isn''t it better for someone to stay with you in case of emergency." Volcanis replied to Ajax before taking a look at Zen. That''s right! Volcanis and Zen were the ones who stayed behind to protect Ajax. "Your wish; however, don''t me me if I don''t let you out of the inner world next time." Ajax didn''t want to force them to go away and allowed them to make their own decision. "Don''t worry. Protecting you is more important than anything else." The thing was Zen and Volcanis had already decided to stay behind while others enjoyed themselves. So, they were serious when they said those words. ''Let''s go and watch the fight then.'' For some reason, Ajax felt warm with Volcanis and Zen''s actions as it showed how caring his elemental spirits were. Even though he was powerful, his cultivation was still low and definitely needed help. Nevertheless, Ajax had various things to escape. So, he was not worried about it and focused on watching the battle between the Bronze demon king and the devourer eagle king. ''Woah'' By the time he returned to his previous ce, he saw that the devourer eagle king got caught by the demonic soul of the bronze demon king and got shocked. ''Did the fighte to an end already?'' Ajax was shocked as he readily summoned the scroll and he was ready to use it. ''Huh?'' However, before he could use it, he noticed something that made him heave a sigh of relief as he kept the scroll in his inventory. ''Aargh'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' All of a sudden, the huge bronze demon king groaned in pain as he took two steps back. The palm that was holding the devourer eagle king had disappeared without a trace. ''Where did the palm disappear to?'' Ajax was surprised as he didn''t understand where the palm would disappear to, leaving the devourer eagle king free. "Bestialw skill- Devour everything." Soon, Ajax heard the shout from the devourer eagle king who was flying in the air. As soon as he finished his shout, he disappeared from the spot and followed the same procedure he did earlier which was decapitating the elite demon generals. Because the Bronze demon king could notice anything, the remaining 88 elite demon generals'' heads were devoured by the devourer eagle king and the rest of the bodies were devoured by the small clones of the devourer eagle king. "Now, all that''s left is you and me." After consuming 100 elite demon generals, the aura emitted by the devourer eagle king was much more powerful than before; however, that aura was still less powerful whenpared to the aura of the bronze demon king. "Haha...you think killing me is as easy as killing my elite demon generals? Then you are wrong." Instead of showing any signs of fear or anger, the bronze demon king startedughing. "Bronze demon king curse, activate." Soon, he stoppedughing and made some strange sign with his hands and shouted. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, some ck coloured energy appeared in front of the bronze demon king and rushed towards the devourer eagle king. ''Ssh'' It was so fast that before the devourer eagle king could dodge it, he was hit by the mysterious ck energy. "Let''s see how you are dodging my next attacks...haha." Out of nowhere, a small doll that looked exactly like the devourer eagle king appeared in the bronze demon king''s hands as he said those words. **** No gifts ***** The target for the Bonus Chapter:- 150 Golden Tickets.

''Screech'' The devourer eagle king released a loud screech before falling to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to use his wings to fly, he was unable to fly. As though some invisible force pushing it to the ground, the devourer eagle king was mmed to the ground. "Did you see that? No matter how powerful your devouring ability is, I can kill you anytime I want." While saying those words, the bronze demon king clenched the eagle doll in his hands slowly. ''Kacha'' ''Pa'' The sounds of bone-breaking could be heard from the body of the devourer eagle king as his body was also contracting closer. ''Holy heavens...what kind of ck magic is this.'' Ajax, who was watching from a distance, was shocked when he saw how easily the Bronze demon king defeated the devourer eagle king. ''Summoning master, even though the bronze demons belong to the lowest ss of the demons, they excel in curses. As long as the curse hits you, either you have to kill the bronze demon king or you have to die.'' Volcanis slowly transferred his thoughts to Ajax as though he knew about them. ''Huh? Curses¡­.wait a second. Last time I entered the bronze demon world, I was also cursed by a bronze demon general; however, I killed all the demon generals.'' Ajax thought back to the time when he entered the bronze demon world and nodded his head in understanding. ''By the way, how do you know about it?'' All of a sudden, Ajax asked Volcanis about it because he was always in the inner world. ''Is it rted to the undead world where I saved them?'' Even though he asked a question to Volcanis, Ajax thought of something; however, even that doesn''t make sense for him because undead and demons were twopletely different beings. ''Spirus, Necors and I were captured by the Undead bronze demon king and the one you saved us from was just also an undead bronze soldier who excels in curses. He was trying to ce curses on us to control us.'' Volcanis exined regarding ''How'' and ''Why'' they were captured. ''What? Undead Bronze Demon?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard Volcanis'' words. ''Yes, summoning master. In that world, the undead king was able to gain an inheritance from the Bronze demon king and sessfully learned a few curses. Moreover, what I learned from seeing the things around me in that world, we are not the only elemental spirits to be captured by him.'' ''I think he was trying to convert his low-level undead soldiers into Bronze undead soldiers and make them control the elemental spirits.'' What''s more, Volcanis'' words continued to give Ajax quite a shock. ''Is it really possible?'' Ajax still felt his ears were ying him as he asked Volcanis. ''The reason why the undead bronze demon king was able to capture us was because of the King''s realm elemental spirit under him.'' ''What?'' Among all the shocks he received, this was the biggest shock because he didn''t expect the demon to be a king realm elemental spirit. Moreover, that king realm elemental spirit was helping him capture the elemental spirits from the elemental spirit world. ''Can a King realm elemental spirit open a portal to the elemental world just like that?'' Ajax suppressed his shock as he asked his two elemental spirits. ''Every world, be it a smaller world, normal world or greater world, they are connected to their own elemental spirit world. So that, the summoners from those worlds could form a contract with the elemental spirits from their respective elemental spirit world.'' This time, Zen started exining to Ajax whereas Ajax was listening to his words carefully. ''In each and every single elemental world, there will be a single elemental spirit that will gain the ability to open the portals to his elemental spirit world.'' Saying until there, Zen stopped exining as he looked at Volcanis as though he was asking him to continue from there. ''Whether it was Undead Bronze Demon King''s luck or our bad luck to be born in that elemental spirit world, we don''t know. One after another they started capturing the elemental spirits from our world and made them their ves.'' While saying those words, Volcanis'' face were filled with mixed emotions. Back then, he was just a regr elemental spirit with no cultivation; other than being captured by the Undead Bronze demon king, he could do nothing. However, things were changed now and as long as he worked hard, he could change something or help his elemental spirit world. For that, he needed to enter into the King realm which was not very far from him. Moreover, he had to find a way to go back to his world. ''No wonder, Volcanis was working very hard to be stronger. He wanted to do something for his world.'' Finally, Ajax understood the reason why Volcanis trained all the time even in his inner world because he wanted to be powerful. Very powerful. ''Do you want to go back to your elemental world to help them?'' Ajax asked Volcanis with a serious look on his face. ''Yes, summoning masters; however, for that, I need to be at least a King realm elemental spirit.'' Without any hesitation, Volcanis nodded his head. ''Good. You just have to focus on your cultivation and battle prowess. I will try my best in finding a way to enter your elemental spirit world or the Undead bronze demon world where I saved you.'' Ajax promised Volcanis as he wanted to do something too. ording to him, it was very cruel for making all the elemental spirits into ves for the undead bronze demons. So, he decided to help them.

#Bonus chapter A few minutes back. While Ajax was amidst a conversation with his two elemental spirits, the Bronze demon king was looking at the devourer eagle king with a face full of pity. "Since you dare to barge into my world and dare to challenge me, I will make you regret your decision." The bronze demon king continued to press the eagle doll in his hands; however, he knew he should not kill the devourer eagle king in such a short time. He wanted to make the devourer eagle king beg him to take his life instead of torturing him. So, he was only using enough force that the devourer eagle king would be still alive. "Looks like you can endure even more." Seeing the serious look in the devourer eagle king''s eyes, the Bronze demon king became a little irritated as he slightly increased the force on the doll in his hands. "By the way, I forgot about your friend who was watching us fight. Shall I kill him first before continuing your torture?" With a light chuckle, the Bronze demon king said to the devourer eagle king. ''Huh?'' The devourer eagle king frowned when he heard the Bronze demon king''s words and replied, "A.aren''t t...they y..your m..minions?" Not only the Bronze demon king but even the devourer eagle king sensed the presence of Ajax when Ajax summoned all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirits. However, the devourer eagle king thought they were the Bronze demon king''s minions and decided to kill them after killing the elite demon generals. As for the Bronze demon king, since Ajax and others appeared only for the devourer eagle king''s portal appeared in his words, he directly concluded them as the devourer eagle king''s minion. "Haha" Hearing the devourer eagle king''s words, the bronze demon king could not help butugh out loud as he said, "Even though I know that a devourer eagle king didn''t care for his minions, I didn''t know you would be even more shameless in saying those words...Haha." It was a fact that the devourer eagle king would devour their own minions in increasing their own strengths; however, in the Bronze demon king''s view, it was very shameless for forsaking his minions. It doesn''t mean a minion should belong to the same race as the master. A being could make other beings ept him as their master and since Ajax came out of the portal created by the devourer eagle king, the Bronze demon king was very sure that Ajax and others were the minions of the devourer eagle king. "Fine then. Since they are not your minions or not my minions, then I will dly kill them." As soon as he finished his words, the bronze demon king''s soul hand extended towards the ce where Ajax and his elemental spirits were conversing. "Summoning master, dodge." Volcanis was the first one to notice the huge demonic soul hand because he was keeping an eye on his surroundings and hurriedly warned Ajax. ''Teleport.'' ''Swoosh'' Without any hesitation, Ajax directly used the teleport to disappear from his ce. ''Boom'' Just as Ajax disappeared from his ce, the huge demonic soul handnded on the ground and a huge handprint appeared on the ground. ''Huh? He escaped?'' Even though the Bronze demon''s soul hand was a little slow, it was still not possible for a level 2 general realm cultivator to dodge it. So, he was surprised and looked at Ajax with an interesting look on his face. ''Looks like there is no use in hiding anymore.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he looked at the huge demon in front of him. "Human, your master has already forsaken you. Do you want to be my servant?" However, the bronze demon king''s next words surprised Ajax for a moment. ''Hm'' Ajax acted like he was thinking about the offer that the bronze demon king had given him; however, he was making slight modifications to his n. "Before I say my decision, can I talk with him?" Ajax didn''t reject or ept the bronze demon king''s decision; instead, he said that he wanted to talk with the devourer eagle king. "Sure." Since the devourer eagle king waspletely in his control, the bronze demon king didn''t bother to think much as he gave permission to Ajax to have a talk with the devourer eagle king. Moreover, the bronze demon king assumed that Ajax wanted to curse the devourer eagle king for not admitting Ajax as his minions. ''Devourer eagle king, here Ie.'' Ajax was excited as he walked towards the devourer eagle king with a slight smile on his face. ''Looks like it isi going to be interesting.'' The bronze demon king wanted to see Ajax curse the devourer eagle king to his heart''s content. ...¡­. Some random ce in the Bronze demon world. A huge elite demon was fighting one of the devourer eagle generals and at the same time, their minions were also fighting in the distance. The devourer eagles would kill a bronze demon and devour the body before killing the other demon generals. Compared to the bronze demons, the devourer eagles were way more powerful in the same cultivation realm. Moreover, the devourer eagles'' speed was incredible making it the bronze demons hard to kill the devourer eagles. However, the fight between the devourer eagle general and the elite demon general was in a stalemate. The elite demon general was unable to catch the devourer eagle general and at the same time, the devourer eagle general was unable to injure the elite demon general because he had a tough shield. "Roar" Amidst the stalemate between the devourer eagle general and the elite demon general, a loud dragon roar appeared from the distance. ''Huh? A dragon?'' Both the mini-bosses stopped fighting and looked at the distant huge purple coloured dragon flying towards them with great excitement. **** No gifts ***** Next target for the Bonus Chapter:- 200 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1020: Twilight''s might

The neer was none other than the divine destructive twilight dragon who wanted to destroy everything in his way. ''Roar'' With a loud dragon roar, he introduced himself regarding his visit. ''Divine destructive cannon.'' When the divine destructive dragon was just a kilometer away from the ongoing battle between the devourer eagle and the bronze demon, he activated his powerful long-range attack. As soon as he activated the skill, the dragon opened his mouth and a purple-coloured energy beam with a golden halo was realised. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' The energy beamnded on the group of bronze demons and the devourer eagles before killing them instantly without giving them a chance to dodge the attack. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Seeing that there were still some devourer eagles and the bronze demons were alive, the divine destructive dragon released multiple energy beams using his ''Divine destructive cannon''. Unlike other spirit beasts who would get weakened after using their powerful skill, the dragon was bing even more powerful as though it was recharged after killing all the devourer eagles and the bronze demons. What''s more, there was nothing left to eat for the dragon or other spirit beasts. ''They are very weak.'' Looking at the ashes in the distance, the dragon shook his head as he nced at the elite demon general and the devourer eagle who was able to escape his attacks. "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Both the devourer eagle and the bronze elite demon general asked the flying dragon at the same time. "It is not important." With a ''Thud'', the dragonnded on the ground as he looked at the two beings and continued, "Since my divine destructive cannon is very powerful for you to withstand, I promise you not to use it on you." Even though his words sounded arrogant, he had every right to be arrogant because ''I am a divine destructive dragon and my job is to wreak havoc.'' Also, there was another reason why he didn''t want to use the same attack because it would leave him nothing to eat and he should not kill the devourer eagle general. "Shall we join forces to kill him?" The elite demon general felt an unknown fear when he looked at the divine destructive dragon. So, he decided to request the help of the devourer eagle general. ''Should I escape from here or should I really join forces with him to kill the dragon?'' The devourer eagle general looked at the dragon and had multiple thoughts in his head. Even though he was very sure that he could not kill the dragon in front of him, he could escape with the help of his ''Advanced eleration'' beastw. "Just imagine how powerful you will be once you consume a divine destructive dragon." Seeing that the devourer eagle general was hesitating, the elite demon general enticed the eagle with something that any devourer eagle could hardly resist. ''Swoosh'' Without any hesitation, the devourer eagle general nodded his head agreeing to the elite demon general''s request and rushed towards the divine destructive dragon. ''Huh?'' Twilight frowned when he saw the iing devourer eagle and didn''t even bother to dodge or attack back; instead, he simply stood there without any fear. ''Creee'' The devourer eagle used his ''Advanced eleration'' beastw to his advantage and wanted to make small injuries; however, his own feathers were broken when they came into contact with the dragon''s body. ''Pak'' While the devourer eagle general was groaning in pain, Twilight used his tail to m the devourer eagle general into the ground. "Do you want to die or be my master''s servant?" After imprisoning the devourer eagle general, Twilight asked him with a dragon smirk on his face. "I will never be¡­" ''Thud'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Before the devourer eagle general could finish his sentence, his tail continuously mmed the devourer eagle multiple times. "Now?" Dragons were known for their aggressiveness and when Twilight heard what he didn''t like, he beat the crap out of the devourer eagle general before asking him his decision. "I w..will no..." ''Thud'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Once again, before the devourer eagle general could finish his words, Twilight repeated the same process and only stopped when the devourer eagle general barely had any breath left in him. "Just say no and I will put you out of your misery." Twilight didn''t want to keep his prey alive or tame it. All he wanted to do was kill them and eat them. However, since Ajax asked him to try their level best to tame the devourer eagle generals, he was trying it and if the other party was not willing to ept his offer, he would not hesitate to kill him. "I...w...ill d..o a..s yo...u sa..y." Finally, after taking so many ms by the dragon tail, the devourer eagle general weakly replied agreeing to the twilight destructive dragon''s word. Actually,pared to the other beings, the devourer eagle''s didn''t want to lose their life no matter what. If someone elsees and beats the current devourer eagle general, it would stay loyal to Twilight until the time it could endure the injuries before changing his loyalty to the other party. That''s how these devourer eagles survive and there is nothing new in it. Moreover, that''s the reason why Ajax was sure that his n would work. "Che" Twilight was disappointed when he heard those words as he shook his head before saying, "Justy there for a while. I have some unfinished business with him." After saying those words, the dragon turned his head and looked at the elite demon general who was slowly escaping into the distance. "You can''t escape from me." ''Swoosh'' With that said, Twilight flew into the air and rushed towards the elite demon general. "Don''t kill me...I will swear my loyalty to your master." Before Twilight could attack the elite demon general, the demon fell to the knees and directly said those words. **** Author needs a big gift for site wide promotion. **** For every 100 Golden Tickets, one bonus chapter will be released.

Chapter 1021: Cursed? Nah...it''s a blessing

The elite demon general knew it was impossible for him to outrun a flying dragon. Moreover, he didn''t have a single ounce of confidence in him. So, without any hesitation, he fell to the knees before saying he would swear his loyalty to the dragon''s master. "sh" In reply to the elite demon general''s words, the twilight dragon didn''t hesitate to use his ''Wing sh'' to cut the demon general into four pieces. "If everyone swears loyalty to my master, then how should I kill?" With a scoff, Twilight replied to the four pieces of the elite demon general and swallowed the three pieces. "Eat it and recover your strength before following me." As for the fourth piece, Twilight threw it at the devourer eagle general and asked him to eat it. As long as a devourer eagle devours the being who had a simr or higher strength than his strength, he would recover all the injuries in an instant. ''Swoosh'' After saying those words, the dragon didn''t even bother to look at the devourer eagle general and flew in his next direction. ''He is so powerful without a beastw. I wonder how powerful he will be if he gained a beastw.'' The devourer eagle general started devouring the one-fourth part of the elite demon general while looking at the silhouette of the dragon and silently thought to himself. ''Moreover, I wonder how powerful his master is. As long as I follow him, reaching the King realm might be possible.'' Soon, the devourer eagle general seemed to have new thoughts in his mind and continued to think, ''I should convince other generals to join this new mysterious master of mine.'' With that thought in his mind, hepletely devoured the demon in front of him and flew in the direction of the dragon. ''From the looks of it, my new master seemed to not like low-level devourer eagles and only wanted to recruit the devourer eagle generals.'' While flying, the devourer eagle general remembered how the dragon killed millions of devourer eagles with a few energy beams from his mouth and shuddered a little. After remembering that scene, he became even more determined to convince the other devourer eagle generals. ''Huh? A curse?'' After flying for a few kilometers, the dragon stopped flying as hended on the ground. Because he was cursed by the elite demon general he killed earlier. Twilight was just feeling a little ufortable; however, he didn''t know what type of curse it was. Nevertheless, he was not worried because it is not a poison curse or sealing curse. Soo, he wanted to make sure what that curse was before flying forward. ''Rumble'' ''Die'' Just as hended on the ground, two elite demon generals appeared out of the ground and shed at the dragon with their sharp daggers. ''sh'' Even though they used the full power in the earlier strike, only small cuts appeared on the dragon''s body. "Roar" Twilight became angry when he saw the 3 meters bronze demons who sneaked at him. They looked exactly like the elite demon general he killed previously; however, they were only three meters whereas the elite demon general he killed previously was 100 meters in height. "You might have tough skin but you will be going to die today." One of the elite demon generals mocked the dragon. "With only two? Dream on." Twilight just shook his head as he mocked the two elite demon generals in front of him. "Haha...you still haven''t noticed something, right?" Seeing the arrogant attitude of the dragon, one of the elite demon generals could not endure it; however, he replied with a loudugh. "What?" "You are cursed by one of us. So, all the bronze demons in this entire bronze demon world ising for you now...Haha" When he saw the confused look in the dragon''s eyes, the other elite demon general exined it. "Really?" Twilight asked with a shocked look on his face. "Of course..why will we lie about it? Are you scared now?" The elite demon generals startedughing as they once again started their attacks. "Haha...Interesting. It is not a curse, it is a blessing." All of a sudden, Twilight startedughing and released the poison breath. ''Thud thud'' After he came out of the Sacred Pool, all his attacks became more powerful and the poison breath became even more poisonous. Just a sniff from it, the two elite demon generals fell to the ground. "So, how do you want to die?" Even though it was a poison, it would not kill; instead, it only makes them powerless for some time depending on the strength of the opponent. "Oh right! I forgot you can''t talk. I will decide for you." As soon as he finished his words, the dragon tossed them into the air before swallowing them. "Since everyone will being to me, I will just wait here for them." With that thought in his mind, Twilight just sat on the ground while waiting for the bronze demons. ''Swoosh'' Before any demons arrive, the devourer eagle general finally catches up with the dragon and silentlynds beside the dragon. Silence. There wasplete silence between the two of them as neither one of them spoke. "Everyone, kill them" After waiting for a few minutes, millions of bronze demons along with more than 100 elite demon generals, started rushing towards them which made the devour eagle general a little scared. However, when he thought about the dragon''s energy beam, the devourer eagle general was not worried about it at all and was eager to cultivate his ''devour'' beastw. "Just don''t get in my way." As though he sensed what the devourer eagle general was thinking in his mind, Twilight said to him with a nonchnt look in his eyes. ''Since the divine destructive cannon is too powerful for them, I will just use the regr skills.'' Twilight wanted to consume the demons and the devourer eagles to increase his cultivation and increase his battle prowess. So, he didn''t have any ns to use the most powerful attack on the iing millions of bronze demons. "Dragon tail" "Wing sh" "Dragon w" The dragon waited until he waspletely surrounded by the bronze demons before starting attacking them. Every time he attacked, thousands of demons would be killed and another few thousand would be injured. ''Screech'' The devourer eagle king was also not sitting without doing anything. It started killing the hundreds of the bronze demons and devouring the high-level ones to gainprehension into the ''Devour'' beastw. ''Once I gain theprehension into the ''Devour'' beast, my path to bing the King spirit beast would be clear.'' The devourer eagle general was excited about his new future as he devoured the demons to his heart''s content. Coming back to the twilight dragon, even though he killed thousands of the bronze demons, he was also receiving attacks in return; however, he had a passive skill ''Advanced hardened skin''. So, nothing was happening to him as he continued to wreak havoc. **** No targets, no bonus chapters.

Chapter 1022: Booh...did you think I forgot to kill you?

"Father, why are they running? Did we hit them too hard?" Somewhere in the Bronze demon world, a young boy of around 10 years asked his father who had a bear head instead of a human head. "Zan, we didn''t hit them hard at all, we are just training." A brown coloured elemental spirit from the side replied to the young boy. "It looks like someone had summoned them." In the distance, there was a green coloured elemental spirit giving her thoughts on why all the bronze demons were running away as though their houses were on fire. "What Miss Spirus said seems possible. So, shall we go and see what it is?" The bear-headed humanoid replied as he asked the brown elemental spirit and the little boy. "Yes, father. Let''s go." "Let''s go and find out what they are up to, boss." Both the little boy and the brown elemental spirit became excited as they hurriedly nodded their heads. They were none other than the little golden bear king, it along with the senior golden bear king. Moreover, Spirus was also in the group as he didn''t have much battle prowess. "Let''s go then." Soon, everyone followed the running away bronze demons to see where they were running off amidst the fight. ...¡­ At another ce, "Do you want to be one of my undead servants or a living servant for my master?" Necros and his undead army of ten killed the entire group of devourer eagles and the bronze demons along with two elite demon generals. After finishing off everything, he licked the devourer eagle general before saying those words. "I will agree¡­.I will agree. Don''t kill me." Unlike the devourer eagle general that swore loyalty to the devourer eagle king until hisst breath, this devourer eagle general directly epted without any hesitation. "Che..." Seeing that he didn''t torture the devourer eagle general, Necros was a little disappointed; however, Necors could not do anything to him as his master needed him. "Thud" ''Thud'' All of a sudden, Necros saw a huge crowd of bronze demons rushing in the distance, he frowned. ''Where are they going?'' Of course, he knew that they were not rushing towards him; instead, they were rushing towards his right. ''Let''s see. As long as there are some demons to kill, it will be good...hehe.'' With an eerieugh, Necros looked at the devourer eagle general that scared the shit out of him when he saw the eerieugh. "Are you going to join me for some fun?" Since the devourer eagle general had already sworn his loyalty to Ajax, Necros decided to see how powerful he was for his master to recruit these devourer eagles. "Sure, boss." ''Screech'' The second devourer eagle general called Necros ''Boss'' before flying into the sky with a screech. ''Should I escape?'' That was the first thought in his mind when he flew to the sky; however, there was a bad premonition in his heart that if he tried to escape, he would be killed. So, he removed that thought and flew down a little as he flew behind Necros. ''Che...he is clever. Why should I have escaped then I could have killed him.'' Necros silently muttered to himself as he kept an eye on the devourer eagle king flying behind him. As for how he could kill the flying devourer eagle general, only he knows. ¡­... Other than Necros, there were others who didn''t form any teams and worked alone and they were Blood, Prophis and Ignis. Ignis used his elementalw to kill an elite demon general and his entire million bronze demons. However, he was not in a good position as he waspletely covered in injuries and looked very tired. Nevertheless, he had a satisfied look on his face. ''This feeling...it is so good.'' While lying on the ground, Ignis muttered to himself as he felt something in him broke. ''Haha...is that what they say going beyond limits to breakthrough?'' All of a sudden, Ignis''s elementalw had broken to level 2 as he became one step closer to the King realm. .... In some random ce, ''Dimensional de (level 5)'' ''Spatial maniption (level 3)'' In a single go, Prophis, who was working alone, used his spatial skills to kill more than thousands of bronze demons and devourer eagles. He only used two skills in total; however, it was enough to create a panic in the remaining millions of the bronze demons and less than a million devourer eagles. "Everyone, escape." The elite demon general was the first one in trying to escape from Prophis because he could sense Prophis was not someone he could deal with. Even though he had a defense demonicw, the elite demon general knew, it was not enough to save him against the against of the spatial de or other spatial skills. ''Screech'' As for the devourer eagle general, he didn''t bother with his minions as he knew they can''t escape. Nevertheless, he screeched as though he was giving a hint to escape from Prophis. "You think you can escape?" Prophis felt it was funny when he saw all the devourer eagles and the bronze demons were running away from him. "Level 2 Spatial lock." Without hesitation, he used his other skill to lock the entire space of around 1000 meters. "Let''s see how you are going to escape this one." ''Dimensional de (level 5)'' ''Spatial maniption (level 3)'' With that thought in his mind, Prophis once again used the two attacking skills to start the massacre. All the bronze demons and the devourer eagles were like trapped fishes trying their best to run away; however, they were not able to break free from the Spatial lock. Before they could notice, they were either killed by the dimensional de or spatial maniption where their bodies distorted before dying. After killing everyone, there were only an elite demon being and the devourer eagle general who were still alive. It wasn''t that they were able to survive because of their wits; instead, it was Prophis who had precise control over his abilities and left them unharmed. "Since my master wants you alive, I will give him one." After saying that, Prophecy waved his hand and muttered, ''Inner world'' ''Swoosh'' Soon after, the devourer eagle general disappeared without a trace. The devourer eagle general didn''t have a clue who Prophis was or who Prophis''s master was. He was sure about one thing, ''As long as I behave properly, I can keep my life intact.'' "Now, I have to find another group." With that said, Prophis created a portal and jumped into it. ''Phew...looks like he forgot about me.'' Seeing that Prophis left without killing him, the elite demon general heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly thought, ''I need to inform the King about this space elemental spirit.'' Aftering to the conclusion, the elite demon general rushed towards the ce where the Bronze demon king lives. ''Huh? Did someone leave a curse? Let it be. This matter is very important, I will skip the curse for now.'' The elite demon king felt a call from Twilight''s curse; however, he decided to ignore it. ''Booh...did you think I forgot to kill you?" Chapter 1023: Blood Monster

Chapter 1023: Blood Monster

''Booh...did you think I forgot to kill you?" Just as the elite demon general rushed in the direction of the Bronze demon king, Prophis appeared right in front of him before waving his hand at the elite general as though he was saying goodbye to him. ''Dimensional de'' ''sh'' ''Kacha'' Before the elite demon general could even activate his armour, he was shed into hundreds of pieces. ''Store'' Seeing the hundreds of pieces in front of him, Prophis that they could be eaten by his summoning master''s contracted spirit beasts. So, with a wave he stored them in his inner world. But, he didn''t forget to create a wall to separate the devourer eagle general from eating the hundreds of pieces. ''Since you will be bing one of us, I will let you consume a few pieces of the elite demon general.'' Nevertheless, he was generous in giving a few pieces because he knew it would be helpful for the spirit beasts in increasing their strength. Generally, when a spirit beast consumes other cultivators or spirit beasts who cultivated anyws, then it would greatly increase the consumer''s battle prowess and cultivation. Moreover, for the devourer eagle general, as long as he enjoys eating the meat of the high-level beings, then he could awaken his second beastw ''Devourw''. So, he excitedly ate the few pieces in front of him forgetting that he was currently imprisoned. ''Huh? Where are they rushing to?'' After settling everything, Prophis started his hunt; however, after using the ''Teleport'' a few times, he saw an entire group of bronze demons rushing towards somewhere. ''Let''s see where they were going. As long as they were closely packed, I could kill many of them.'' Since Prophis'' skills could be better used against therge groups, he wanted all the bronze demons in the entire world to gather in one ce. So that he could kill them without any hassle. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he silently started following them while hiding his presence. As a space elemental spirit, it was a piece of cake for Prophis to hide his presence and all he had to do was just manipte the space elements around him to erase his presence. ..... Among all the solo workers, the blood elemental spirit Blood was fierce as he had a wide range of skills that would make him go against an entire army. ''Blood control'' First, he started with the blood control where he sted all the bronze demons below the general realm. ''Blood refining'' With the ck blood of the bronze demons, he temporarily increased his cultivation to level 5 elite general realm and only then he summoned his blood clones. Previously, he could summon only four blood summons; however, after his cultivation rose to the level 1 elite general realm, his skill got upgraded and he could summon 10 blood clones now. ''Blood monster'' Moreover, he also learned a new skill after reaching the elite general realm and it was ''Blood monster''. ''Roar'' Soon, a 10-meter ck-blood monster formed with all the blood around the blood elemental spirits. ''This is not enough.'' Blood was not satisfied with the size of the blood monster as he eyes the devourer eagles in the distance and sted them from inside before collecting their blood to increase the size of the blood monster to 20-meter. ''Not enough.'' ''Puchi'' ''30-meter blood monster¡­.still very weak.'' . . . Blood continued to kill the bronze demons and the devourer eagles while increasing the size of the blood monster from the original 10 meters to 100 meters. As for the devourer eagle general and the elite demon general, they were shocked because the entire area was bloody andpared to the blood monster in front of the blood elemental spirit, they felt the true blood monster was the blood elemental spirit itself. ''Run'' That was the thought in both the elite demon general and the devourer eagle general''s heads. "Currently, I amcking some Blood ves. You seem a little strong enough to qualify for that position." Blood was not worried that both the devourer eagle general and the elite demon general would escape from his grasps, as he said in a low but eerie voice making them shudder. "Blood ve." Without wasting any time, Blood used his level 2 ''Blood ve''. "As long as you don''t resist, you will not feel any pain. Also, you can still retain your memories. So, you will be working for me instead of the Bronze demon king." Since the cultivation of the blood elemental spirit was lower than the elite demon general, he could directly ce his seal to make the elite demon general his blood ve. So, he spoke in a low voice but that was enough for him to scare the shit out of the elite demon general. After hearing the blood elemental spirit''s words, the elite demon general didn''t retort anymore and allow the blood ve seal to be ced on his demon consciousness. Compared to before there were not many changes that happened to the elite demon general. The major change was he had a ''1'' symbol on the chest that was written with bright red-coloured blood. "Phew...finally done. I still need two more blood ves." The blood elemental spirit looked at the devourer eagle general in the distance and continued, "However, my master took a liking to you. So, as long as you are willing to follow me back to my master, I will not turn you into a blood ve." "Screech...I am willing. Please don''t turn me into a blood ve." With a loud screech, the devourer eagle general replied to the blood elemental spirit. Compared to bing a blood ve, the devourer eagle thought it was better for him to follow the blood elemental spirit willingly. "Good¡­.anyway, let me pat you." How could the blood elemental spirit just leave the devourer eagle on his own? So, he dropped a single drop of blood into the devourer eagle general''s feathers without informing about it to the devourer eagle general. ''Where should I go?'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Once he settled everything, Blood was thinking which direction he should go; however, before he coulde to a conclusion, he saw millions of bronze demons rushing from one direction to another. "So, blood demon, are they sacred because of me?" Blood sarcastically said the elite demon general beside him who turned into a blood ve. "No, master. There is a curse calling all the bronze demons to one ce." However, the blood demon shook his head as he replied to the blood elemental spirit as he exined the reason why all the bronze demons were rushing in a particr direction. "Really? So, there will be others too. I can''tg behind them." Once he learned the truth, Blood became excited as he said, "Everyone, let''s go." Soon, a blood elemental spirit, a 100-meter blood monster, a 100-meter blood demon and a devourer eagle general rushed in the direction in which the bronze demons were rushing. Not only Blood and prophis but all Ajax''s summons were killing the bronze demons and devourer eagles and taming the devourer eagle generals before following the bronze demons towards the ce where Twilight was waiting for the bronze demons. **** Do you want one EXTRA CHAPTER daily?

Chapter 1024: Enticing the Devourer Eagle King

# Bonus chapter for 150 Golden Tickets. If Ajax knew that each one of his summons was creating havoc in the bronze demon world, he would be surprised. Generally, the demons were the ones who would wreak havoc in other worlds; however, now, their own world was turning upside down just because of Ajax''s summons. As everyone was gathering towards the divine twilight destructive dragon, Ajax walked in front of the devourer eagle king. "Who the hell are you?" Seeing Ajax walk towards him, the devourer eagle king shouted at Ajax. "Who am I? I will be your new master." Ajax replied to the devourer eagle king with a nonchnt look on his face. ''What?'' The devourer eagle king was shocked with Ajax''s words for a moment before saying, "Wake up little kid. I can kill you just with the sound of my fart." While saying those words, the devourer eagle king had a mocking look in his eyes. "Since I need you for something, I will not punish you this time; however, there won''t be the next time." Ajax looked at the devourer eagle king as he replied with a serious look that made him remain silent. ''Interesting...he is not fearing the devourer eagle king.'' ''He can be my servant as he is way better than the elite demon generals under me. The only thing hecks right now is cultivation.'' ''However, with me around, I can easily increase his cultivation to the peak elite general realm in the shortest possible time.'' Seeing the interesting scene in front of him, the bronze demon king was enjoying himself as he gave a high evaluation for Ajax. ''As long as you be my contracted spirit beast, I will help you kill the bronze demon king.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t bother with the bronze demon king or his thoughts because he was focused on his mission. As long as he forms a contract with the devourer eagle king, he could destroy the two worlds, ''Devourer eagle king''s world'' and ''Bronze demon world''. With that, his cultivation will be increased by two minor realms at once. So, Ajax tried to entice the devourer eagle king with his offer. ''Kid, with your cultivation, you can''t even kill a demon general, not to mention an elite demon general or bronze demon king.'' ''Moreover, I will not be someone''s ve just because someone is going to save my life. If he wants to kill me, I will rather die than be your ve.'' The devourer eagle king transmitted his voice to Ajax in a serious tone. Just from the tone, Ajax could say that the devourer eagle king would not form a contract with him; instead, he would die in the hands of the bronze demon king. ''Damn it...why is he so foolish?'' Ajax cursed the devourer eagle king in his head as he racked his brain to find something to entice the devourer eagle king in forming a contract with him. ''Wait a second...the Sacred Astral Energy. I can use it, right?'' While racking his brains, Ajax found one of the ways to entice the devourer eagle king to form a contract with him; however, he directly didn''t use that card and started thinking of something else. ''Don''t you want to be a Spirit beast king?'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax found something that might help him in forming a contract with the devourer eagle king. So, without wasting any time, he started transmitting his voice to the devourer eagle king. ''I know the reason why you came to this world in the first ce. You wanted to kill that bronze demon king and be a Spirit beast king, right?'' Ajax noticed the reaction of the devourer eagle king in his eyes while continuing to say his words, ''So, I will help you kill that demon king; however, I want you to form a contract with me.'' This time, the devourer eagle king didn''t say anything because what he said was true. The only reason why he picked this world was that the Bronze demon king was the weakest king in the surrounding worlds. So, the devourer eagle king picked this world. However, who would have expected that the bronze demon king would be way more powerful than what the devourer eagle king had expected. ''Also, I can give you this from time to time.'' Seeing that the devourer eagle king was thinking, Ajax decided to hit the iron while it was still hot. So, he lightly ced his hand on the devourer eagle king''s head and transferred the Sacred Astral Energy. There was a reason why he transferred the Sacred Astral Energy. Previously, he just used 50 units of the Sacred Astral Energy to upgrade the Tree of blessing from Heaven grade to legend grade and since the devourer eagle king could devourer any energy, he knew that the devourer eagle king would definitely be an addict to it. ''As long as you be a Sacred Astral Energy addict, I can easily form the contract.'' Ajax revealed an evil smile in his heart while saying those words. Since he had already put the enticement of bing the spirit beast king in the devourer eagle king''s head, Ajax knew that the Sacred Astral Energy is the perfect thing for him to take full control over the devourer eagle king. "Did you finish speaking?" Finally, the bronze demon king felt something was wrong; however, thinking about Ajax''s cultivation, he was not worried much before asking Ajax, "You cane back and watch how I kill him. After I finish him, I will make you an elite general for this bronze demon world." While Ajax was enticing the devourer eagle king, the bronze demon king was enticing Ajax. "So, what do you think?" Ajax nodded his head at the bronze demon king before looking at the devourer eagle king and asked him with a slight smile on his face. "I am willing to form the contract; however, how are you going to him?" This time, the devourer eagle king didn''t bother to use the voice transmission and directly asked Ajax while looking at the Bronze demon king. ***** Next target for the bonus chapter:- 200 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1025: Spirit Beast Kings Core

Chapter 1025: Spirit Beast King''s Core

''Ding, 10 units of the Sacred Astral Energy are consumed. ''Ding, Remaining Sacred Astral Energy:- 180 units Ajax received a couple of system notifications at the same time as the devourer eagle king said those words. ''Finally¡­.he took the bait.'' Once he heard the devourer eagle king''s words, Ajax became excited as he heaved a sigh of relief. After absorbing the 10 units of the Sacred Astral Energy, all the previous injuries on the devourer eagle king''s body were healed. However, the most important thing was the devourer eagle king''s understanding of the ''devour'' beastw increased to the next level. ''As long as I get a little more push, I can condense the ''Devour'' bestial soul and be a Spirit beast king.'' The devourer eagle didn''t hesitate a single bit when he decided to form a contract with Ajax because he finally saw hope again. Even though he didn''t know how Ajax was going to deal with the Bronze demon king, since he had such miraculous energy with me and a confident smile on his face, the devourer eagle king assumed that Ajax must have a way to kill the bronze demon king. ''What?'' However, the same could not be said for the bronze demon king because how could it be good news when the devourer eagle king and a low-level human brat want to kill him? "So, you are secretly transmitting words with one another...Good...good...good." The bronze demon king became so furious as he said ''Good'' three times before continuing saying, "I was nning to groom you while you are trying to coborate with my enemy to kill me." "You humans are all greedy in nature. So, no wonder you humans fight amongst yourself and go extinct even if he didn''t invade your human world." The bronze demon king increased the pressure on the eagle doll in his hands, the whale mocking Ajax and the entire human race. ''Screech'' As for the devourer eagle king, he was screeching in pain. "Don''t reject my spirit imprint." Ajax didn''t bother with the bronze demon king; instead, he ced his hand on the devourer eagle king and hurriedly ced his spirit imprint. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a new contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, The system detected that the host''s new spirit beast is on the verge of breaking through into the King realm. ''Ding, Rewarding the host with King spirit beast core that can help the devourer eagle king because a Spirit beast king. As soon as he ced the spirit imprint on the devourer eagle king''s beast consciousness, he received a series of system notifications that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''What? A King spirit beast core?'' Even though he was greatly surprised, he suppressed his emotions as he silently summoned a small beast core from the inventory before feeding the devourer eagle king. ''This is really a pleasant surprise.'' Ajax didn''t expect to gain such a valuable thing just by forming the contract with the devourer eagle king. ''As long as the devourer eagle king bes a Spirit beast king, then my worlds-destruction mission would be a piece of cake.'' Why would he bother about the bronze demon king now? Ajax was thinking about the future before being disturbed by the bronze demon king. "So, I am really on how you are going to kill me?" Even though the bronze demon king was furious, he still didn''t understand how Ajax was going to kill him. As for the Devourer eagle king, who might pose a threat to him if he was careless, was currently under his curse and he could kill it with a thought. So, he asked Ajax with a curious look on his face. "Do you really want to know?" Ajax was not worried about the bronze demon king from the beginning itself. Instead, he was hoping the bronze demon king would be powerful. So that he could control the devourer eagle king. So far, the bronze demon king had done everything that Ajax wanted him to do; however, Ajax still needed to distract the bronze demon king from pressing the eagle doll in his hands. With that thought in his mind, Ajax started wasting his time with the bronze demon king. "Of course. It is even better if you show how you are going to do it." No matter how he looked at Ajax, the bronze demon king was unable to find how Ajax was going to kill him. Even if Ajax learned multiple cultivator''sws, he could not do anything to the bronze demon king who had a defensive demonic soul. "What''s the hurry?" Ajax shook his head as he walked away from the devourer eagle king trying his best to distract the bronze demon king from the devourer eagle king. "Huh?" The bronze demon king frowned as he didn''t let Ajax disappear from his sight as he slightly turned to his left to keep Ajax straight in his sight. "Before I say how I will kill you, I have something to inform you." Ajax became excited when he saw that the bronze demon king was sessfully turned towards him while he continued saying, "My summons just replied to me that they have killed more than 100 million bronze demons and more than 50 elite demon generals." When he said those words, Ajax had a mocking look making the bronze demon king frown. "Moreover, after a few more minutes, I hardly doubt any of your bronze demons will be left alive...Haha." Since whatever he said right now was true, Ajax was confident and made the frown on the bronze demon king even bigger. "Stop uttering bullshit." The bronze demon king was unable to believe Ajax''s words because he didn''t get a reply from any of his elite demon generals. Moreover, he was unable to see any massacre. So, he didn''t believe Ajax''s words. "You can say whatever you want to say; however, your entire demon army is going to die today." Ajax was puzzled a little and nced at the devourer eagle king who started shining with a halo and muttered, ''Did he do something to hinder the bronze demon king''s senses?'' That is the only possible reason that Ajax could think of right now. ''Never mind, I need to distract the bronze demon king from looking at the devourer eagle king. As long as he bes a King realm spirit beast, I can save the ''Elegant walker''s scroll''.'' Ajax stopped worrying about who messed with the bronze demon king''s senses instead, he wanted to continue to distract him. The reason for Ajax''s confidence in going against the bronze demon king was the ''Elegant walker''s scroll'' which could summon a king realm elegant walker from the battle tower to fight against the bronze demon king for 10 minutes. However, since there is an option to save that ''Elegant walker''s scroll'', Ajax wanted to try his best and wanted the devourer eagle king to be a King realm spirit beast. "Why don''t you try summoning one of your elite demon generals to test what I said? I will be staying right here on this boulder." After saying those words, Ajax jumped onto a boulder which was in theplete opposite direction from the devourer eagle king. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter is 200 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1026: Layered Mirror Defence

Even though Ajax will not have much use with the ''Elegant walker''s scroll'' after the devourer eagle king bes the King realm spirit beast, Ajax didn''t want to waste as he still needed time to be a King realm cultivator. Moreover, there is no harm in keeping it in his inventory for now as he still had the situation under control. ''System, how long will it take the devourer eagle king to be a King realm spirit beast?'' Without wasting any time, Ajax hurriedly asked the system. ''Ding, Just a couple of minutes more before the devourer eagle king condenses his beast soul or even less. ''Less than a couple of minutes? I can do it, I guess.'' Ajax felt relieved with the system''s reply and thought in his head. However, he was ready to crush the scroll anytime the bronze demon king did anything funny. ''Where are you?'' As for the Bronze demon king, he fell for Ajax''s words and immediately contacted his elite demon generals. .... At the other end of the Bronze demon world. "Roar" "Swoosh" ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Screech'' The entire ce waspletely filled with millions of bronze demons and the ground was covered in ck blood. The divine destructive twilight dragon and the devourer eagle general were killing the bronze demons as ants. Moreover, Twilight was not using his powerful skill ''Divine destructive cannon'' fearing that everything would turn into ashes. Dragon mostly used his physical body skills to kill Advanced Hardened Skill, Dragon tail, Wingsh, Dragon w, Dragon bite. Almost every part of the dragon was used to kill the bronze demons. "Everyone, go back. All the elite demon generals, let''s take it together." All of a sudden, a 250 meters elite demon general gave an order and all the bronze demons rushed back while 100 or so elite demon generals surrounded the dragon and the devourer eagle general. ''Haha'' Seeing that he waspletely surrounded by more than 100 elite demon generals, the destructive dragon didn''t show any signs of fear; instead, he startedughing. Because for the time in his life, he felt free. Free to destroy anything he wanted to destroy. He already enjoyed a lot for thest one hour and he was not tired ofo continuing because the more he kills, the more powerful he will be. Right now, the bestial aura emitted by the twilight dragon was even more powerful than anyone with level 5 powerful bestialw. However, one should remember that the dragon had yet to awaken a bestialw. "Everyone, let''s seal this dragon and inform the bronze demon king." Sudden, one of the bronze demon generals suggested to the huge elite demon general Since almost all the Bronze demons in this bronze demon world had the defensive demonicw, they didn''t have the power to break the twilight dragon''s defenses. So, all they could do right now was to capture the dragon using their defensive skills and inform their king. "Everyone, let''s use theyered mirror defensive skill at once." The leader of the elite demon generals nodded his head with the elite demon general''s suggestion and ordered everyone to cast their skill at once. "Yes." All the 100 or so elite demon generals nodded their heads before casting the most powerful skill. ''Layered Mirror Defence'' Soon, more than 100yers of mirror barriers appeared around the twilight dragon before merging into a single barrier. "Roar" Seeing that, the twilight dragon roared at the leader of the elite demon generals before mming into the barrier. ''Thud'' However, the twilight dragon was unable to break the barrier as he was bounced back. "Roar" Seeing that, he was unable to break the barrier, the dragon became furious as he shouted at the leader of the elite demon generals, "Bastard, if you are a real demon, let me out and let''s fight one against 100." Even though he mmed the barrier only once, he knew that the barrier was very powerful. So, he furiously shouted at the leader of the elite demon generals. "Haha...do you think I am a fool?" Hearing the twilight dragon''s furious shouts, the leader of the elite demon general startedughing as he scoffed at the dragon as he continued, "You are a divine destructive dragon that belonged to the top ss of the dragon race; whereas we, the bronze demons belong to the lowest ss in the demon. So, do you really expect us to not use our advantage in a fight against you?" Beings belonging to the lowest ss in a race will not have much cultivation talent or aptitude, to begin with; however, once one of them bes a King realm being, then he could guide the beings from his lowest ss to follow his footsteps to be just like him. For example, take the bronze demon king. Because of his fortuitous encounters, he was able to be a Bronze demon king with a defensive demonicw. The next thing he did was select the good demon generals in the world and guided them into the same defensive demonicw using various methods and made them elite demon generals. However, this will limit the growth of the elite demon general and it is very hard for them to be a Bronze demon king. Nevertheless, it was a good thing for the Bronze demon king for his missions from the higher levels of demons. So, he was not worried much and groomed as many elite demon generals as possible. "I suggest you get back." Seeing that the only way he could get out the mirror barrier was by destroying it, the twilight dragon made up his mind to break it. However, before that, he warned the devourer eagle general who got imprisoned in the mirror barrier along with him. "Yes, boss." After seeing how terrifying the twilight dragon was in front of him, the devourer eagle general changed his idol from the devourer eagle king to the Divine destructive twilight dragon. Without wasting any time, the devourer eagle general distanced himself from the twilight dragon. "Father, let''s go and help the dragon." In the distance, the little golden bear king hurriedly said to his father. "No, he is much more powerful than before. I wonder how many he had killed after entering this world." The senior golden bear king shook his head as he replied to his son. As the spirit beast from the inner sections of the cursed wilderness, the senior golden bear king heard legends of the destructive dragons. Unlike other dragons, they be more powerful with destruction and killing. ''Moreover, he is now a divine and twilight dragon. Basically, he is a spirit beast who could kill a King realm cultivator without a bestialw as long as he destroyed enough prior to fighting the King realm cultivator.'' "But..." Even though his father said not to worry, the little golden bear king was worried as he was trying to say something. "Don''t worry, just wait and see who beats the crap out of those so-called elite demon generals. Isn''t it right, Little eagle?" However, he was interrupted by his father and beside his father, a 10-meter devourer eagle general was standing with fear in his eyes. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 200 Golden Tickets (currently=183).

Chapter 1027: [Bonus Chapter]Bronze Demon King''s Shock

# Bonus Chapter That''s right! Along the way, the golden bear kings and his team tamed the lone devourer eagle general. "Yes, boss." When the senior bear king asked him a question, the devourer eagle general nodded his head with fear in his eyes. The reason for the fear in his eyes was not because of the senior golden bear king; instead, it was the little golden bear king, Zan. "So, let''s wait and watch." Zan shook his head as he nodded his head and decided to watch what the dragon was going to do. ''If there is something wrong, I will just go and take care of that demon general.'' Those were the thoughts of the little golden bear king. Generally, the offensive power of the golden bear kings was very high and after learning the bestialw, the little golden bear king''s attack power increased to another level and he feared no one below the King realm who didn''t have a peak cultivator''sw. Also, the one who managed to tame the devourer eagle general was him. it and Spirus also learned about the divine destructive twilight dragon. So, they were also curious to watch how the dragon is going to take down the 100 elite demon generals. .... "Che...the dragon stole all my fun." Not everyone was like the golden bear kings. They were jealous of the dragon for having fun with all the bronze demons and elite demon generals. Among them, Necros and Blood were the ones who wanted to rush towards the elite demon generals and started the massacre. However, they were stopped by Halo and Prophis by saying, "This is an opportunity for the dragon. As long as he breaks the defense, he will be even stronger. So, it is better for us to stay here." Since the more powerful things the divine destructive dragon destroys, the more powerful it will be and the mirror barrier that imprisoned him was very powerful because it was a product created by more than 100 elite demon generals. "Fine...fine." Blood and Necros nodded their heads with a displeased look on their faces. "Our summoning master needs powerful spirit beasts like him as he could kill a king realm cultivator without any bestialw." "That''s right! We still need a lot of time to be the King realm elemental spirits. So, we should let him have this fight." Seeing that, the Halo and Prophis nodded their heads; however, they didn''t forget to exin the things even more clearly. Behind Blood, there was a 100-meter blood demon and a 500-meters blood monster which grew from 100 meters to 500 meters by absorbing the blood of the already dead bronze demons and the devourer eagles. "Sigh...since there is no more fighting. I will just refine the blood to increase my cultivation." Along the way, not only the blood monster that became 500 meters, even the blood elemental spirit collected the dark blood and controlled it to follow him like a little puppy. And finally, he decided to use that blood to increase his cultivation. ''I will just forget about making that big one as my second blood ve.'' Blood felt it was a pity for not being able to make the 250-meter elite demon general his second blood ve. Currently, he could have three blood ves; however, he used only one of them. Nevertheless, he was not worried as he was able to make a powerful blood monster. Not only Prophis and others but all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit were watching the fight from a distance and weren''t involved in it. ... "Dragon''s might." Seeing that the devourer eagle general moved away from him, the twilight dragon activated a skill that it was born with. Dragon''s might will increase the dragon''s power by three times for a short while. As soon as he used that skill, the bestial aura emitted by him changed to the next level. "Since you don''t want to let me out of this blood barrier, I will just break it out myself." With that being said, the divine destructive twilight dragon shouted, "Divine destructive cannon." ''Zap'' ''Boom'' Soon, a purple-colored energy beam came out of the dragon''s mouth and hit the barrier making a huge explosion. ''Did he break it?'' All the Ajax''s summons who was watching from the distance were shocked by the power in the energy beam released by the dragon; however, because of the smoke, they were unable to see whether the mirror barrier was broken or not. "What? There was not a single crack on it." They waited until the smoke cleared and they were shocked to see that the mirror barrier was still intact without a single crack on it. "Haha...this barrier will not be destroyed that easily." For a second, even the leader of the elite demon generals was shocked with the power from the divine destructive cannon, and only after seeing that the mirror barrier was still intact, he heaved a sigh of relief as he mocked the destructive divine dragon. "I will contact the King right now and inform him about this divine dragon. He will be surprised." With that thought in his mind, the leader of the elite demon generals decided to contact the Bronze demon king. ''Huh?'' However, before he could establish the contact link with the bronze demon king, the bronze demon king himself was contacting me. The thing is all the elite demon generals were not allowed to contact the bronze demon king and only the leader of the elite demon generals should contact the King in case of emergency. "Your majesty, I was about to contact you." With an excited smile, the leader of the elite demon generals spoke with the bronze demon king. "Idiot, I heard someone is killing our elite demon generals. Is that true?" The bronze demon king was furious as he shouted from the other side while asking about the Killings. "Yes, your majesty. Only 112 of the elite demon generals are alive including me." His initial excitement disappeared as he exined how many of them are alive. "What?" The bronze demon king was shocked by the reply because, in this world, there were nearly 1000 elite demon generals. Including 100 elite demon generals, who were killed right in front of him, the remaining 750 or so elite demon generals were killed within a couple of hours. So, why would he not be shocked? "What about the bronze demons?" Controlling his anger, the bronze demon king asked another question. "Th...that is¡­." The leader of the elite demon generals started stammering when he heard that question as he knew the bronze demon king would be more angry. "Stop stuttering and answer it, you fool." The bronze demon king shouted as he asked the leader of the elite demon generals to give the answer. "900 million demons were killed by the various groups of elemental spirits and the spirit beasts, your majesty." ''What?'' Mustering his courage, he replied to the bronze demon king making him cough a mouthful of ck blood. "Damn you, human. You are going to pay for what you did." ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 250 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1028: Volcanis and Zen joins the fun

Chapter 1028: Volcanis and Zen joins the fun

"Damn you, human. You are going to pay for what you did." When he heard the leader of the elite demon generals, the bronze demon King cursed Ajax. Because before the devourer eagle king opened the portal, he used to have more than 1000 elite demon generals and more than one billion bronze demons with varying cultivation. However, now, all that was left in this world for him was 100 million bronze demons and a little more than 100 elite demon generals. ''What am I going to say if I get a new mission from the Silver Bronze world?'' This was the only thought in the bronze demon king''s head as he mmed his hands at the boulder that Ajax was standing on. ''Swoosh'' However, Ajax was careful as he jumped sideways with a slight smile on his face. "So how is it? Did you find out how my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts are having fun in your world?" Ajax decided to irritate more because when the devourer eagle king makes the final breakthrough into the King realm, it would, of course, make some disturbance in space. So, Ajax felt he had topletely shift the bronze demon king''s attention to himself. ''Looks like this bronze demon king didn''t have much offensive power and agility. I can use it to my advantage.'' After seeing the fight between the bronze demon king and the devourer eagle king, Ajax learned all the strengths and the weaknesses of the bronze demon king. So, he decided to make use of it while irritating the bronze demon king and slowly moving him away from the devourer eagle king. "Aargh...damn you." Finally, the bronze demon king was so angry that he wanted nothing but to destroy Ajax first before killing the devourer eagle king. ''Thud'' ''Boom'' ''Rumble'' Using his demonic soul''s hands, the bronze demon king continued to attack Ajax who kept on dodging it with casual jumps. "Volcanis, Zen, do you want to join the fun?" With each second, Ajax was dying the time for the devourer eagle king, he felt excited and enjoyed the blood rush. Moreover, he asked the two elemental spirits who stayed back to protect him. "We would love that, summoning master." Volcanis and Zen excitedly nodded their heads as though they were waiting for Ajax to say those words. "Good. Join then." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head and continued saying, "Even though he had a tough defense, you can use your powerful attacks on it; however, be careful and not get caught by him." Ajax wanted his elemental spirits to have fun in attacking a King realm cultivator who got less speed and less attack power. Even though he had less attack power, it was still enough to kill any being below the King realm cultivator. "Yes, summoning master." With Ajax''stest words, they became even more excited as they directly started using their powerful attacks. ''I will give you the boost you need.'' Why would Ajax try to help his elemental spirits be temporarily strong when he had the chance? With that thought in his mind, he activated his first bloodline, ''Abyssal beast god bloodline''. As soon as he activated the bloodline, the elemental spirit felt the increase in their strengths. However, they didn''t stop there as they had more ways to increase their battle prowess. "Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids and Celestial fire realm." "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroid." "Celestial engulfer." Volcanis didn''t hesitate to go all out because the opponent against him was a King realm being. So, he activated two elementalws in a single go before using the skills linked to the elementalws. "Dark region" (Elementalw) ''Dark prison'' (Skill linked to the elementalw) Not only Volcanis, but even Zen also let all his trump cards out as he wanted to do some damage to the Bronze demon king. As long as they do some damage, it is an achievement for him and their experience would increase making them ready for future fights. "Boom" ''Aargh'' Surprisingly, the attacks of both the elemental spirits did some real damage to the bronze demon king which was not in the expectations of both the bronze demon king and Ajax. ''Thud'' Because of the damage done to him by both the elemental spirits, the bronze demon king dropped the eagle doll in his hands to the ground. ''This is it.'' Even though Ajax was not expecting the bronze demon king to drop the eagle doll from his hands, the bronze demon king was forced to take a couple of steps back which gave enough time for Ajax to use the ''Teleport'' back to back to sessfully get the eagle doll. "Phew¡­.finally got the doll." Once he got the eagle doll, Ajax felt so relieved because the bronze demon king could no longer kill the devourer eagle king instantly. ''Don''t attack. Let your skillse out of the cooldown before using them again. Waste as much time as possible.'' Soon, he gave the orders to his elemental spirits while he looked for a safe position in the distance to the fight between his elemental spirits and the bronze demon king. ¡­. "Your majesty...your majesty." The leader of the elite demon generals who were in contact with the bronze demon king was shocked when he heard the painful groans of his king as he hurriedly asked. "Why the hell are you there? Just go and kill those bastards that are messing with us." Today was a really bad day for the bronze demon king as he lost 90 percent of his army. So, he shouted at the leader of the elite demon generals to kill Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Your majesty, the thing is we already caught someone." "Good...kill him and find others and kill them too." This is good news for the bronze demon king. So, he calmed down a little as he gave the orders. "Your majesty, the thing is we can''t kill him as he is a divine destructive dragon." "What? You can''t even kill a Divine dragon¡­.huh? A divine dragon?" Initially, the bronze demon king returned to his furious mode and shouted at the leader of the elite demon generals; however, he was shocked when he realized it was a divine dragon. "Just bring it to my ce. I will definitely reward you generously." All of a sudden, the bronze demon king forgot about the loss of 90 percent of the demon army and asked the leader of the demon generals to bring the dragon to his ce as soon as possible. "Sure, your majesty." "Also, give me time to time updates about the divine dragon, I want it at all cost." The bronze demon king was serious when he said those words while thinking, ''As long as I consume the divine dragon or offer it to the silver demon king, I will be heavily rewarded by them.'' Soon, various thoughts appeared in his head as he looked at the Ajax and said, "Human, my underling got your divine dragon. I should thank you for giving me a divine dragon...Hehe." ¡­..

Chapter 1029: Do you think I regreting to this world?

A divine dragon is something that even the cultivators from the greater worlds wanted. If it could be tamed, then they would make it their contracted spirit beast; however, if the divine dragon didn''t yield, then they would kill it before using every single part of it. Most of the time, the divine dragon would rather die than be someone''s contracted spirit beasts because they were proud and arrogant. With that being known to everyone, all the time, the divine dragons would be killed for their parts Dragon scales to be divine shields, artifacts, and even weapons along with the Dragon ws, Dragon horns, teeth, bones, tendons. Dragon blood is used by the cultivators for refining and tempering their bodies to increase their battle prowess. And the most important part, Divine Dragon heart. It is being said that it could help the cultivator directly learn the innate skill of that divine dragon along with a breakthrough in the cultivation and making it sturdy. So, when he heard the words of the leader of the elite demon generals, the bronze demon king felt. ''So what if 90 percent of the army is gone? With the help of the divine dragon, I can break into the next minor realm while learning an innate divine dragon skill. Not to mention,? can trade all the other parts like scales, ws, wings, bones to trade with the silver demon king. If possible, directly trade with the Golden demon king.'' All of a sudden, the bronze demon king felt this was the fortuitous encounter he was waiting for that could change this destiny. As long as he learns the innate skill of the divine dragon, he would no longer belong to a low-level demon called a bronze demon. "Instead, I will be a demon that could be on par with the Silver demon king and even might have the same status as that of the Golden demon king...Haha." When he thought of his limitless future, the bronze demon king could not help butugh out loud. ''What? Twilight got trapped?'' However, it was not good news for Ajax as he frowned when he learned about the dragon''s situation. ''Where are you? Prophis? I heard that Twilight got trapped.'' Without any dy, Ajax contacted the space elemental spirit Prophis because he could travel faster than anyone among his summons. ''Summoning master, everything is under control. Twilight will be breaking the mirror barrier anytime now and as for why we¡­...'' Soon, Prophis exined everything that was happening with the twilight dragon and at the same time, he gave a rough summary of what everyone did including the taming of the devourer eagle generals. ''Good.'' Once he understood that the dragon would be powerful as long as it breaks the barrier on its own, Ajax didn''t urge any of his elemental spirits to help the dragon. ''Moreover, they tamed all 10 devourer eagle generals. No wonder, they are wanting to go out? of the inner world so badly.'' Ajax shook his head a little as he thought, ''From now on, I will let them fight to their heart''s content.'' "What happened? Are you regrettinging here with your divine dragon?" Seeing that Ajax was shaking his head, the bronze demon king mocked Ajax. "Haha...regret?" However, unexpected to the bronze demon king''s expectations, Ajax startedughing as he directly walked towards the bronze demon king. That''s right! He was walking straight towards the bronze demon king as he said, "Do you what? Coming to this world is a good choice I made and why would I regret it?" "I killed nearly 900 million bronze demons and nearly 800 of the elite demon generals with just 30 of my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." "I gained 10 devourer eagle generals and one devourer eagle King." "I will get an extra golden core which will increase my cultivation by one minor realm." "I understood how powerful my summons have be in such a short span and made me realize that I can take my revenge whenever I want." While walking towards the bronze demon king, Ajax continued to speak one line after another, and with each line, he was saying, Ajax was feeling excited because aftering to this world he realized how powerful he and his summons had be. "Damn you, human. Since you are looking for death, I will give you one." The bronze demon king who was excited with the capture of a divine dragon became furious when he saw the mocking looking on Ajax''s face along with the annoying words spoken by Ajax. So, he didn''t hesitate to punch Ajax to death while saying, "Don''t worry. I will make good use of your divine dragon while you are gone." The bronze demon king wanted to annoy Ajax before the punchnd on Ajax and kill him. However, there was no look of fear in Ajax''s face and what''s more, from the looks of it, Ajax was not even trying to dodge the iing blow from the bronze demon king. "Really? But shouldn''t you be alive to do that?" Instead, it was Ajax who continued to annoy the bronze demon king with his word. "Die" The bronze demon king increased the power of his punch even more as he shouted at Ajax. "Thud" Before the bronze demon king''s punchnded on Ajax, there was a huge brown coloured wing covered in feathers blocking the iing punch. "What? How can you be free?" The bronze demon king was shocked when he saw who it was that blocked his attack and hurriedly stepped backward. Even though Ajax had taken the eagle doll, the bronze demon king was not worried because Ajax could not do anything to the eagle doll. If by chance, Ajax tried anything funny, he would be killing the devourer eagle king with his own hands. So, the bronze demon king was not worried about the devourer eagle king. However, now, it became free from his curse even though the eagle doll waspletely intact without any damage. "Also, I forgot to tell you one more thing. Because I entered this bronze demon world of yours, I was able to gain a King realm spirit beast as my contracted spirit beast." "What? King realm Spirit beast?" The bronze demon king was shocked as he looked at the devourer eagle king properly. Earlier, the devourer eagle was 100 meters huge; however, after bing a king realm spirit beast, the size reduced to 80 meters; however, the colour of his feathers becamepletely brown with pitch-ck edges. Sharp yellow beak with shart talons that shone under the light. Overall, many minor changespletely changed the appearance of the devourer eagle king. "How did you be¡­? When did you¡­?" The bronze demon king was so shocked that he was unable to finish his questionspletely. "Just stop asking those questions." However, the devourer eagle king didn''t bother to answer the bronze demon king''s question; instead, it was Ajax who started speaking, "So, do you think I regreting to this world?" While saying those words, Ajax was having a slight smile on his face as he looked at the bronze demon king. ***** BeastlyKing92, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR¡­.really needed one. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 250 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1030: [Bonus Chapter]Bronze Demon King''s Cunning n.

# Bonus chapter for Gifts The bronze demon king looked at Ajax as he clenched his fists and then looked at the devourer eagle king who was now a King realm Spirit beast. A true devourer eagle king. "I agree you have some great gains in my world." Suddenly, the bronze demon king thought of something as he controlled his anger and continued saying, "However, you can''t kill me now." The bronze demon king had a serious look on his face when he said those words. "And why is that?" Since the devourer eagle king had be a King realm spirit beast, the bronze demon king is no match for him. So, hearing the bronze demon king''s words, Ajax asked with a scoff. "Because I have your divine dragon. If anything happens to me, I will just order my underling to kill it." The bronze demon king also knew that Ajax had got the power to kill him. So, he tried to use the divine dragon to stop Ajax from killing him. "Haha" Hearing a King realm cultivator say such words, Ajax could not help butugh before asking, "Do you think your minions could control my divine dragon?" "Why not? They will be bringing your divine dragon here soon. So, as long as you leave this world without killing me, I will release your divine dragon." The bronze demon king frowned at Ajax''s arrogance; however, he exined how Ajax would lose his dragon if something happens to him. "Because even I can''t control itpletely. Once it goes berserk, even remains will not be avable." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face. ..... At the other end of the world. "Divine destructive cannon" While Ajax got the situation with the bronze demon king under control, the twilight dragon was also trying to do the same. So far, the dragon had used the ''divine destructive cannon'' three times to break the barrier; however, there was not a single scratch on it, making the dragon angrier and angrier. A few moments ago, Twilight felt his strength mysteriously increase by three times making the dragon excited. Moreover, he knew the reason why his strength increased and it was also rted to his master. As soon as he sensed the increase in his strength, without wasting any time, the dragon used the skill ''Divine destructive cannon'' once again. ''Boom'' Just like always, the entire area was covered by the smoke from the explosion. "This divine dragon is just a fool that doesn''t know when to stop." "Yes, leader. It is already proven that the barrier will not be broken no matter how much he attacks it." Soon, the surrounding elite demon generals mocked the twilight dragon for his attacks and looked at him like an idiot. "Let him try and get tired. Then, our job will be even easier...Haha." The leader of the elite demon generals chuckled while trying to look at the barrier through the smoke. However, thetest explosion was much bigger than the previous three explosions. So, deep down, he was having a slight fear regarding the barrier. ''If he can destroy the barrier, then that''s it. We will be killed by me within a few moments.'' The elite demon generals of this world were skilled in defense and he the twilight dragon was able to destroy the barrier created by 112 elite demon generals, then he could easily kill them. Soon, the smoke cleared as everyone could see the barrier which didn''t have any scratch on it. ''Phew'' ''Huh?'' The leader of the elite demon generals heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the barrier was still intact whereas the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts watching from the distance frowned. Because they knew that their master had activated the bloodline and it would increase the battle prowess of everyone by three times. So, they were frowned upon at first and shockedter by the durability of the barrier. "Stop wasting your energy on the barrier unless you want to make things easy..." "Kacha" Just as the leader of the elite demon generals was about to mock the twilight dragon, there was a breaking sound. Of course, that came from the mirror barrier and the ce where the crack started was the ce where the twilight dragon had used his ''Divine destructive cannon'' multiple times. Soon, the cracks on the mirror barrier started spreading like a spider web. ''Th..this is impossible.'' All the elite demon generals were shocked when they saw the cracks on the mirror barrier. "That''s the power of the divine destructive dragon." As for Ajax''s summons, they were excited as they nodded their heads and continued to watch what the divine dragon was going to do next. Basically, almost everyone killed enough bronze demons and had their share of fun after a long time. So, they didn''t mind the twilight dragon finishing thest batch of the bronze demons. As for them, they would be spectators and enjoy the show. "Everyone, escape." As soon as the barrier broke, the leader of the elite demon generals shouted as loudly as possible before starting running away from the dragon. Along with him, all the 111 elite demon generals also started running in different directions. ''Your majesty, the divine dragon broke free from the barrier.'' The first thing the leader of the elite demon generals did after started running was to inform the bronze demon king about the dragon. ''Summoning master, Twilight destroyed the barrier and his power once again grew so much. I think he could go head-on with a king realm cultivator.'' Even Prophis also informed Ajax about the dragon''s destruction of the barrier. ''What?'' ''Excellent.'' The first word was said by the bronze demon king whereas the second word was said by Ajax. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast ''Divine destructive twilight dragon'' for sessfully awakening a bestialw. ''This is not within my expectations.'' This time it was Ajax''s turn to get shocked because of the system notification in his head. ''A bestialw? I wonder what it is?'' Ajax was curious about the dragon''s bestialw and without future ado, Ajax opened the information on the dragon to check for his bestialw. ''Damn it...they can''t even imprison a rank 6 divine dragon.'' As for the bronze demon king, he cursed his underlings for not doing a single job properly. ''I have to escape from here...I need to think of a way to escape from here.'' Soon, he started racking his brains for a way to escape from Ajax and the devourer eagle king. ''Damn it...there is no other way for me to escape.'' However, the bronze demon king was unable to find any way until he thought of something, ''Should I just inform the divine dragon to the golden demon king?'' All of a sudden, the bronze demon king thought of something as he looked at Ajax and continued thinking, ''I will leave my ''Demon''s prey'' curse on him and no matter where he goes, the golden demon king will not let him go¡­hehe.'' When he thought of that n, the bronze demon king could not help but eerilyugh. **** Need some super gifts... Ding ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 250 Golden Tickets. (Sigh...Not reached) Chapter 1031: Demons prey

Chapter 1031: Demon''s prey

''Damn it...even though I will be killed today, I will not let him get away with it.'' The bronze demon king cursed Ajax for making him do what he was going to do. "Human, don''t be happy so soon that you have won. I will make you regreting into my world...Haha." Soon, the bronze demon king startedughing like a madman. Since the bronze demon king didn''t have a way to escape from Ajax and the devourer eagle king, he decided to make the entire demon race hunt Ajax. "Demon''s prey curse...activate." Without wasting any more time, the bronze demon king chopped off his own head after finishing those words. "What the hell? Why did he kill himself?" Ajax was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him as he didn''t expect the bronze demon king to be so weak-willed and would kill himself. "Prey has a Divine dragon with him." While Ajax was in shock, the bronze demon king''s chopped-off head spoke and the words resounded in the entire world. ''What?'' Ajax didn''t understand how a chopped-off head could speak. Moreover, he didn''t understand why those words resonated with the entire world. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, a ck-coloured gas came out from the chopped-off head of the bronze demon king and surrounded Ajax for a moment before disappearing without a trace. ''There is definitely something wrong.'' Ajax had a bad feeling regarding the ck gas; however, on the physical note, he was not feeling any difort in any part of his body and there was no corrosion or whatsoever. ''Ding, The host is cursed by the Bronze demon king with ''Demon''s prey''. While he was wondering about the bad premonition in his heart, he received a system notification that made him even more worried. ''What? Demon''s prey? What is that?'' Previously, when he entered the bronze demon world, he was cursed by a demon general; however, it was a blessing for him. But now, he knew about the demon curse''s name, and it made him a little worried when he remembered thest words of the bronze demon king, ''I will make you regreting into my world.'' ''Ding, Demon''s prey, a curse only the bronze demon king''s can use to leave their mark on certain someone who will be hunted down by the entire demon race. ''Oh.'' After seeing the system notification, Ajax felt he worried for nothing as he replied to the system, ''Let theme. My summons are very powerful now and moreover, I even have the king realm spirit beast now.'' Since demons are the mortal enemies of the humans, Ajax was more than willing to kill all the demons without any hesitation. ''Ding, Host, please be cautious. You only fought the lowest demon ss; however, since the bronze demon king''sst words are ''Divine dragon'', I think the high-level sses of the demon race will send some powerful demons after you. ''Ding, They might even send a Demon Emperor who was much more powerful than a Demon King because a divine dragon is a rare spirit beast even in the divine dragon. Seeing that Ajax was talking about the matter rting to the ''Demon''s prey'' curse, the system warned Ajax with a couple of system notifications. "What? They would send Demon emperors to kill a general realm cultivator?" Ajax was shocked to the core as he read the system notification. Because the Demon Emperor is the highest realm that Ajax knew and if a demon emperor really wants toe after me, I can''t do anything but give up on the divine dragon. ''However, I doubt the demon emperor would let me live even if I gave up the divine dragon.'' What Ajax said was the absolute truth and the reason why he would kill Ajax? It was because Ajax is a human. ''Ding, However, the host need not worry because whenever a demon emperor moves around, it would be noticed by the other emperor realm beings. ''Ding, And if they got to know about the divine dragon, the demon emperor had to either share with them or fight with them and another good thing for the host is, demon emperors will not like to share anything with others. So, the host doesn''t have to worry too much about the demon emperor. ''Phew'' After seeing the two system notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Ding, However, there will be no problem for the demon kings toe after you in the name of ''World Invasion''. They will try their best to hide the matter about the divine dragon and the host needs to increase his strength as soon as possible. Soon, the system motivated him in bing as powerful as possible before any of the demon kings came after him. "That''s right! I can''t rx just because I have a King realm spirit beast. I have to increase my cultivation as soon as possible." Ajax clenched as he didn''t want to give up on the divine dragon or die in the hands of the demons. So, he clenched his hands and asked the system, ''System, since the bronze demon king is dead, it means I sessfully conquered this world, right?'' Ajax was a little excited when he said those words. ''Ding, Yes. The host had sessfully conquered the smaller world ''Bronze demon world''. ''Finally, I conquered my first world.'' Ajax could not help but feel happy as he looked at the devourer eagle king who was devouring the bronze demon king happily and thought, ''Because of him, I was able to save the ''Elegant walker''s scroll''.'' Even though he distracted the bronze demon king a lot, unless the devourer eagle king didn''t form a contract with him, then he had to use it. ''Coming back to the main thing.'' Nevertheless, Ajax calmed his emotions and asked the system, ''System, since I sessfully conquered this world, how should I retrieve the world core?'' That was one of many questions in Ajax''s head as he didn''t know the system was going to refine the world core and send it into his spirit consciousness. So, he was curious as he asked the system regarding the world core. ''Ding, Do you want to take the world core from this world into your spirit consciousness? ''Of course, I want to.'' Since Ajax was waiting for this moment for many weeks, he hurriedly nodded his head. ''Ding, Please close your eyes and feel the world core beneath your feet. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised; however, he didn''t ask any questions as he closed his eyes and tried to feel the world core. ''System, I am unable to sense anything.'' However, even after trying to sense the world core for five minutes, Ajax was unable to sense anything. ''Ding, Feel it with your spirit consciousness, host. Since you can sense any element of the essence of nature around, it will not take much time for you to feel the world core; however, you have to be patient until then. Soon, the system gave him some tips and asked him to be patient. ''Th..this is...'' ***** Terence_Madson, thanks for the LUXURY CAR. **** Target:- 300 Golden Tickets Reward:-Three bonus chapters Chapter 1032: Level 3 General Realm

Chapter 1032: Level 3 General Realm

After the system asked Ajax to patiently focus on feeling the world core of the bronze demon world, he was patiently focused on it. ''Th..this is..'' Time continued to pass and in a sh an hour passed by as Ajax finally sensed something. Instead of saying sensed, it would be more urate that his spirit consciousness form entered into a mysterious space. The space around him waspletely bronze in colour and in front of him, there was a shining golden core that was around the size of a pigeon egg. It was floating in the mid-air while sending mysterious energy into its surroundings. ''System, is this the world core?'' Ajax asked the system as he tried to fly towards the golden core. ''Ding, Yes, host. All you have to do is swallow that golden gore and your cultivation will be increased by a minor realm. He got the confirmation from the system making him excited and without wasting any time, Ajax rushed towards the golden core. ''Got it.'' Ajax''s spirit consciousness form held the golden core and without any hesitation, he swallowed it because he was tired of his cultivation which stayed in the level 2 general realm for a while now. ''Ding, The system forgot to remind the host about something. There will be an unimaginable pain to bear; however, it is not life-threatening. ''What?'' ''Aargh'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notification and before he could prepare himself for the iing pain, his real body fell to the knees as he started groaning. "Master." "Summoning master." Volcanis, Zen, and even the devourer eagle king were worried about Ajax as everyone rushed towards Ajax. However, they were not experienced in diagnosis or healing. So, all they could do was to wait and watch with worried looks on their faces. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation increased to level 3 general. ''Phew...finally, the pain is gone.'' The pain onlysted for less than a minute; however, Ajax felt it like he spent years enduring the pain. So, once he got the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "Don''t worry...I am fine. I just had a breakthrough." Seeing the worried looks on his summons'' face, Ajax asked them to not worry, and while saying that he stood up to stretch his body a little. ''I will be a lot more powerful than before. With my bare punch, I? think I can kill a regr level 1 elite general realm cultivator.'' Even though Ajax didn''t have an exact way to measure his strength, he was very confident in what he said just now. Moreover, if he uses his all skills along with his bloodlines, he could fight even the regr peak elite general realm cultivators. However, the problem will be those with the cultivator who had unusual battle prowess and cultivator''sw. ''I need to enter the elite general realm and start cultivating the cultivator''sw from the cultivator''sw stone that I gained from Master Red''s body.'' Ajax was in a great mood today as he became highly motivated with his world-conquering mission and wanted to be an elite general realm cultivator as soon as possible. ording to the system, he should start cultivating the cultivator''sw from the cultivator''sw stone only after reaching the elite general realm. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining his first-world core. The system is rewarded with three rewards. Please check them after leaving this world. ''Ding, The current bronze demon world will be destroyed within five minutes. Please summon back all your summons and leave the world as soon as possible. Just as he was in a great mood, he received another two system notifications making him pleasantly surprised. ''Three rewards? Great.'' Ajax''s mood became even greater after seeing those system notifications, ''But I got only five minutes. Damn it.'' "Everyone, rush towards him as soon as possible." Without checking the rewards, Ajax sent a voice transmission to all his summons and hurriedly jumped onto the devourer eagle king. "Let''s go in that direction." Ajax pointed in a specific direction and ordered the devourer eagle king to fly in that direction because all his summons gathered at one ce as they rushed towards him after his order. ''Swoosh'' Even before Ajax could say anything, both Volcanis and Zen jumped onto the devourer eagle king. "Everyone, hold tightly." The devourer eagle king warned Ajax and others before flying into the sky and once he reached a specific height, he disappeared leaving behind some after images. Since all the summons were at the other end of the world, Ajax knew they could not make it to the portal in time. So, he used the devourer eagle king''s speed. As a King realm flying type spirit beast and adding to the fact that he had a level 10 bestialw called ''Advanced eleration'', the speed was just like lightning. ''Stoo...op? th..h..eere.'' As they were flying at an incredible speed, Ajax''s words were not clear; however, the devourer eagle king noticed many elemental spirits and the spirit beasts in the distance. ''Screech'' With a screech, hended in front of them. "Everyone, keep your guard." Prophis and others were unable to sense the exact strength of the devourer eagle king as he ordered everyone to be careful. "Your majesty." However, all the devourer eagle generals were ted to see their King; however, soon they realized that they swore their loyalty to someone else now and didn''t know how to face him. "Everyone, rx. He is your new friend." Ajax felt his head was spinning a little after traveling at an incredible speed; however, he was able to recover soon and showed himself to his summons. "Master." "Summoning master." Everyone was excited after seeing Ajax and greeted him. "We don''t have much time. Let''s leave this world and talk after going back." After saying those words, Ajax summoned back all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts into his inner world because there is not much time for him to exin all the things. Even though everyone stayed in the bronze demon world for a short time, they enjoyed it a lot as they killed many bronze demons. Except for the 10 devourer eagle generals, there was no one else. "Juste and sit here." Soon, Ajax asked the devourer eagle generals to sit on the devourer eagle king''s back because he can''t send them into the inner world without forming a contract with them. However, Ajax didn''t have any ns to form a contract with them. Moreover, they can''t keep up with the devourer eagle king''s speed. So, he could only ask them to mount the devourer eagle king. ''...'' As for the devourer eagle generals, they hesitated a little. "What are you waiting for? Do you want to die here?" Suddenly, the devourer eagle king said in a low but serious voice that made all the devourer eagle generals shudder a little. "Yes, your majesty." Without wasting any more time, all the devourer eagle generals flew andnded behind the devourer eagle king. "Why aren''t you greeting the master?" Also, he released a little pressure and made them shudder. "Master." **** Check out the author''s thought. Chapter 1033: [Bonus Chapter]Blessing? Three worlds

Chapter 1033: [Bonus Chapter]Blessing? Three worlds

In the devourer eagle king''s world. "Phew...we are out just in time." The devourer eagle king rushed out of the portal in the middle of the barren mountains. On top of him, Ajax and the other devourer eagle generals were holding as tightly as possible and once they came out of the bronze demon world that had just been destroyed, they heaved a sigh of relief. "Screech" Soon, the devourer eagle kingnded on the ground as Ajax and the devourer eagle generals jumped onto the ground. "Thanks, Alder." Ajax thanked the devourer eagle king with his new name. That''s right! Until now, there was no name for the devourer eagle king until now, so Ajax decided to give one. "It''s what I am supposed to do, Master." Not only did Ajax save the devourer eagle king from the bronze demon king, but he also helped him be a King realm spirit beast. So, of course, the devourer eagle king owed Ajax his life. "Let''s take a break for some time." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he sat down on the ground before asking the system, ''System, what happens if I take the world core of this world too? Will I get teleported back to the purple stone world?'' Earlier, the moment he refined the world core into his cultivation, the bronze demon world started falling apart. So, Ajax was worried whether he had to find a way to leave this world on his own or will the system teleport him back to the Purple stone world. He wanted to get some answers before refining the world core of the devoured eagle king''s world. ''Ding, The host has to find his own way after he refines the world core for his cultivation. ''What?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the system notification. Even though he asked that question to the system, he was expecting that the system would provide him a portal back to the Purple stone world. ''System, if I didn''t enter the bronze demon world and by chance, I refined the devourer eagle king''s world''s word core, then how the hell do you think I would have escaped?'' Ajax became angry as he asked the system. Since he was able to enter the devourer eagle king''s world in time, he was safe; otherwise, he would have died along with the world. So, what if there was no Bronze demon world and he took the world core of the devourer eagle king''s world? Just thinking about it made Ajax shudder as he waited for the system''s reply. ''Ding, It is the host''s mission and he has to figure out a way on his own. ''Damn you.'' Ajax cursed the system and thought, ''Looks like it is returning back to its usual self.'' For thest few days, the system was so good to him. Answering and informing everything he needed to know; however, Ajax understood those days were over now. ''Looks like I need to depend on the devourer eagle king to exit this world; otherwise, should I keep this world as my base to explore the surrounding worlds?'' Ajax was not worried about leaving this world because he knew the devourer eagle king could open portals to the other world. However, he was thinking about whether he should destroy this world or use it as a base? ''No, I will just refine this world''s core before going to the other smaller worlds.'' So, he came to a conclusion to refine the world core of the devourer eagle king''s world. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, he saw the devourer eagle king fly into the air before shining with a golden halo. ''What is happening with it?'' Ajax didn''t understand why the devourer eagle king was shining all of a sudden. ''Ding, The devourer eagle king is blessed by the world core for sessfully breaking into the King realm. ''Blessed?'' Ajax was surprised as he looked at the devourer eagle king in the sky which continued to shine. ''Ding, He will be awakening any one of the skills, bloodlines, and bestialws after the blessing ispleted. Then, the host is free to take the world core. ''Oh. Excellent.'' He was excited when he learned what was happening with the devourer eagle king as he looked forward to what the devourer eagle king is going to gain after the blessing. ''Speaking of blessing, I still need to check the three rewards I gained from the system for sessfully destroying my first world.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of his rewards and without wasting any time, he asked the system about them. ''Ding, The first reward is the ''Purple stone world ticket'' ''Ding, The second reward is the ''Undead Bronze demon world ticket''. ''Ding, The third reward is the ''Five elemental world ticket'' Just as he thought about the rewards, the system showed him the rewards that made him pleasantly surprised. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, a thought came to his head as he muttered, ''So that is how I should have escaped.'' Finally, Ajax understood why the system didn''t say that it would send him back to the purple stone world because it was given as a reward. ''The first reward is for me to go back to my world and it is a default one, I guess. As for the second reward, it must be the world I have to destroy next.'' ''The third reward must be the system showing love towards me...Haha.'' When he saw the third reward, he heaved a sigh of relief because he had to go back to the five elemental world to finish the mission of forming an alliance with the ''Mountain Lion woods'' region. ''Since I have the devourer eagle king, Twilight, and the five elemental spirit beast, I think I can just conquer that region.'' Even though the mission only required him to form an alliance, he wanted to do more than that since he had the power to do that, at least that''s what he thought. ''Also, why does this Undead Bronze demon world seem so familiar to me? Don''t tell me this is the same world where the Undead Bronze demon king was turning the elemental spirits into ves?'' Ajax already expected that the system would definitely send him back to the world where he saved Volcanis, Spirus, and it; however, what he didn''t expect was that it would be this soon. ''Anyway, I have a King realm spirit beast now, I think destroying this world would not be very difficult.'' After he got a King realm spirit beast, there was some change in Ajax''s behavior that even he himself was unable to notice and it was, of course, he felt he could destroy any smaller world. ''Let''s see whether there was any information on it.'' Ajax was oblivious about the fact that he was changing into a little arrogant one, he checked the information on the ''Undead bronze demon world''s ticket''. Thest time, he got the ticket to the devourer eagle king''s world, there wasplete information about the world. So, Ajax wanted to know more about the world; instead of blindly rushing into it. ''Ding, Item name:- ''Undead bronze demon world''s ticket ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 300 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1034: Divine destruction and Divine destroyer

Chapter 1034: Divine destruction and Divine destroyer

''Ding, Item name:- ''Undead bronze demon world''s ticket. Use:- It can be used to enter the Undead bronze demon world. Information on the world:- A world that was originally a bronze demon world; however, there was a mutated in the bronze demon king and became an undead bronze demon before changing the world name into Undead bronze demon world. More information:- It is still a smaller world; however,pared to the other smaller worlds, it is bigger and rich in the demonic essence that helps many bronze demons to be undead bronze demons. Soon, the system sent all the information regarding the bronze demon world in front of Ajax. ''This is definitely different from any regr smaller worlds.'' Ajax nodded his head and decided to be careful when entering this Undead bronze demon world. "Everyone,e out." Soon, Ajax summoned all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to see how well they progressed in the bronze demon world, and at the same time, he wanted them to take some rest for a while. "Volcanis and other elemental spirits, can you go with these devourer eagle generals to search for the Little Blue?" Before that, he thought about the mutated spirit crane which he left in this world before entering the bronze demon world. For that, he asked 10 of his elemental spirits to ride the 10 devourer eagle generals to search for the spirit crane. ''I wonder where that skill bird was flying?'' Ajax shook his head when he thought about the mutated spirit crane as he came back to his main business. ''I will start with Twilight''s bestialw.'' Earlier he learned that the divine dragon learned a bestialw; however, he was unable to check as he didn''t get the time. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:-Divine destructive twilight dragon (Twilight) Strength:- Peak rank 6. Skills:-? ..... Special skills:- ¡­ Bestialw:-Divine destruction. There were no changes in the information panel of the dragon except for the strength and a new section ''Bestialw'' was added. ''Divine destruction'' Ajax was not surprised with the cultivation as he knew the dragon would reach that level within no time and he only focused on the bestialw. ''Ding, Bestialw:-Divine destruction (Level 1) Effect:-? When the bestialw is activated, the divine dragon just has to fly and everything around the dragon for 10 meters will be destroyed. Bestial skill:- Divine destroyer. Skill description:- When the bestial skill is activated, the dragon can summon three divine destruction cannons to destroy the multiple targets in the distance. Note:- The bestial skill can be stacked with the special skill ''Divine destruction cannon''. ''Holy heavens.'' Ajax rubbed his eyes for a second when he saw the information on the twilight dragon''s bestialw. ''Looks like Twilight directly jumped to the second position in my contracted spirit beasts just after the devourer eagle king.'' Soon, he felt happy that his first contracted spirit beast became so powerful within such a short time. ''With him, I can not worry about the armies of the world I invade.'' Ajax''s confidence in destroying the smaller worlds reached the next level. After checking the dragon''s bestialw, Ajax asked his remaining elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts regarding their gains. "Master, I gained a blood ve and a blood monster who had the strength of the peak elite general realm." Blood was the first one to inform his gains as he proudly looked at Cerauno with the corner of his eye. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ponder much about it as he asked the other elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts one by one. Compared to the elemental spirits, the contracted spirit beast gained so much because they consumed so many bronze demons that all their cultivation reached peak rank 6. Even then, they only consumed 10 percent of the bronze demons as they were excited to kill more and more bronze demons they were not focused on eating too much. ..... Somewhere in the devourer eagle king''s world. "What is there to fear these devourer eagles?" "They were just pigs in eagle clothing that likes to eat everything." "I think I am the first spirit crane that not only dared to enter the devourer eagle king''s word but I was able to freely roam without any fear." With a proud look in her eyes, the mutated spirit crane was flying in the air as she muttered to herself. ''Screech'' All of a sudden, she heard a familiar screech from the distance. ''What? Are the devourer eagles back from the invasion? Why are they back so early?'' For a second, the mutated spirit crane was unable to think properly as she hurriedly flew down and searched for a ce to hide. Generally, whenever a devourer eagle king goes for a world invasion, it will take a minimum of 15 days before returning back to his world. It''s been less than a day since they entered the portal and they were already back. Just thinking about it made the mutated spirit crane shiver. ''I need to hide. I need to hide.'' She searched for a ce to hide as soon as possible and before the devourer eagle general in the distance could notice her, she hid behind a boulder and slowly moved around it to escape the devourer eagle general''s sight. ''Screech'' Soon, the devourer eagle general and Volcanis flew into the distance, and the mutated spirit crane hid. ''Phew...I was able to escape from them; however, why is there a fire elemental spirit on the devourer eagle''s back?'' Little blue frowned and all of a sudden, she thought of something, ''Is it possible that he is Ajax''s elemental spirit? No...he is an earth-type summoner.'' However, she hurriedly removed those thoughts because from what she remembered, Ajax had an earth elemental spirit that he summoned in the Sacred Pool. ''Damn it...where the hell is Ajax?'' Soon, she started cursing Ajax for leaving her alone in this devourer eagle''s world. ¡­. ''Screech'' "You also didn''t find anything?" Ajax asked Volcanis with a worried look on his face. "Summoning master, there is no sign of the mutated spirit crane anywhere in this world." After an hour, the tenth devourer eagle general flew back to Ajax as Volcanis, who was on the eagle''s back shook his head. All the previous devourer eagle generals and the elemental spirits that went along with them were unable to find the mutated spirit beast making him quite worried. ''Where the hell did this silly bird disappear to?'' Ajax didn''t know what to say to Princess Daphne if she asked about the mutated spirit crane. So, he couldn''t help but curse the spirit crane. ''I think she must have been scared when she saw the devourer eagle generals and hidden somewhere.'' After thinking for a while, that was the conclusion Ajax came to regarding the mutated spirit crane. Ajax knew who scared the mutated spirit crane was regarding the devourer eagles. So, he felt that his assumption was correct. "I think I need to take the help of the devourer eagle king with this one." However, when he saw the glowing devourer eagle king in the sky, Ajax stopped worrying and waited for the eagle to finish his awakening. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets Chapter 1035: House of Dragons enters the Zrochester province

Chapter 1035: ''House of Dragons'' enters the Zrochester province

Devourer eagle king, he is not only the King realm spirit beast but the most powerful being in the devourer eagle king''s world. So, as long as the devourer eagle king focused, he could sense the exact location of anyone who was hiding in the world. That is the reason why Ajax said that he would need the devourer eagle king''s help in finding the mutated spirit crane. ''However, he is still glowing with the golden light. It looks like I will have to wait.'' Ajax was not anxious regarding the mutated spirit crane because he could find it sooner orter. So, he sat down as he rested. .... In the royal city of the Zrochester province. ''Swoosh'' A huge portal opened in the main hall of the royal pce. ''Master, I think they were here.'' Stephen draton who waszily sitting on the throne stood up when he saw the sudden appearance of the portal. Even though the portal appeared suddenly, he was not shocked as though he was expecting it and hurriedly contacted his master in the head. ''Don''t show your arrogance in front of them and don''t lower yourself. Stay calm and casual.'' Soon, his master gave him some suggestions as he continued saying, ''As long as you help them, even a little, you can be a king realm cultivator. Then, you can leave one of your loyal men to rule this province, you can create another kingdom in? the Ylercester province.'' ''If you can gain the equal footing with the two other kingdoms in that province, we will be invincible in this entire Purple stone world.'' By the time his master finished his words, the portal that appeared in the main hall got stabilized. ''Master, are you sure about it? Just think, why would the other two kingdoms let me grow in that province?'' Stephen draton was having some second thoughts because he did not sound as confident as his master while asking. The thing is why would the two powerful kingdoms that were established for centuries allow him to grow and establish his own kingdom in their province? ''Idiot. Just follow my instructions. Not only the two kingdoms will not kill you; instead, they will even assist you in bing the most powerful cultivator in this world.'' The old voice in Stephen''s head scolded him and asked him to blindly follow his instructions. ''But...'' ''No buts. Do you forget how I helped you, a bastard of the previous king with no cultivation, so powerful that your own brothers feared you and killed themselves?'' Before King Stephen could say anything, the old voice interrupted his words. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' While King Stephen was listening to his master''s words, cultivators starteding out of the portal. Within no time, a total of 1101 cultivators walked out of the portal andpletely filled the entire main hall of the royal pce. Among the 1101 cultivators, there was only one old man with peak elite general realm cultivator and 100 middle-aged men with the same peak elite general realm cultivation. As for the 1000 others, they were all young men who looked below 20 years. "King Stephen, I am a loyal servant of the ''House of dragons'' and I think you know the purpose of my visit." Soon, the old man walked and took a couple of steps, as he introduced himself. "I don''t know the exact purpose of your visit and I don''t care. ording to our deal, I will provide you the shelter for the next five months hoping that you will cover your tracks from the other sects and the great families." King Stephen wanted to sit on his royal throne very badly to prove that he is the one who is in control; however, he was unable to sit as he felt a bad premonition in his heart. Nevertheless, he replied in a calm tone. "Sure. Even if someone sees us, they should be alive to inform others, right? Hehe." With an eerie chuckle, the old man replied. "There are secret underground tunnels leading to one of the royal hideouts in the inner sections of the cursed wilderness. I know you can cover your tracks but just a little reminder, if any one of you gets caught, we don''t know each other. Am I clear?" King Stephen was careful as he said what he wanted to say to them. "Sure, your majesty...che" The old man scoffed at King Stephen. "As for my payment, I think you are still due on it, right?" King Stephen was seething with anger when he saw how arrogant that old man was; however, he knew that he could not mess with him. So, he calmed himself down and asked for the payment. "Give him." The old man looked at one of the middle-aged men behind him and signaled him. "Five cultivator''s stones." Nodding his head, the middle-aged man threw five stones at King Stephen and continued saying, "Once we finish the mission, you will get the remaining five." "Okay" King Stephen''s hands shook a little when he caught the five stones because these items were very rare and they will be avable only in Xacaster province, the top province in the Purple stone world. ''With this, I can have five King realm cultivators within a year and if they sessfully finish their mission, I will get another five King realm cultivators.'' ''Adding me, a total of 11 King realm cultivators is good to start a Kingdom in the Ylercester province and if what the master said is true, I will raise to the same level of the other two kingdoms within a span of 10 years.'' Looking at the colourful stones in his hands, King Stephen had many thoughts in his head as he felt his future was limitless. ''Idiot. Stop daydreaming and just send them away as soon as possible.'' While King Stephen lost in his thoughts, his master scolded him as he asked him to do the work first. There was a little bit of anxiousness in his voice making Stephen frown because he had never seen his master so anxious in the past. "Follow me. I will guide you to the underground tunnel." Nevertheless, he didn''t ask about it; instead, he guided the members of the ''House of dragons'' to the underground tunnel. Since King Stephen already knew about the arrival of the members of the ''House of dragons'', he asked not a single soldier to enter the royal pce as he didn''t want anyone to know about the ''House of dragons.'' ''Looks like their mission is very important.'' However, what he didn''t expect was that there were so many members from the ''House of dragons'' making him wonder what their mission was. Nevertheless, he didn''t have any ns of asking about the mission; instead, he wanted to know something else. "If you don''t mind asking, what if your mission fails? Will I still get the remaining payment?" While walking, King Stephen mustered his courage and asked the old man who was walking beside him. "Haha¡­.do not worry, King Stephen, we will not fail the mission and you will get your remaining payment." The old man arrogantly replied to King Stephen with augh. **** Dwight_Slywks, thanks for the MASSAGE CHAIR. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1036: [Bonus Chapter]King Realm Cultivators?

# Bonus chapter for reaching 300 Golden Tickets. The old man from the ''House of dragons'' was very confident in finishing the mission and assured King Stephen to not worry about the reward. ''If you are so sure about it, why don''t you just give me the remaining five cultivator''s stones also?'' King Stephen wanted to say this to the old man; however, he refrained from saying so after he got the warning from his master. "This is it. You can contact me only after you finish your mission. Until then, you don''t know me. Am I clear?" Soon, they walked deeper into the royal pce and stopped in front of a hole on the ground as King Stephen said to the old man. Clearly, from his world, one could say that King Stephen was trying to look more like a King. "Everyone, let''s go." The old man looked at King Stephen with a mocking gaze before ordering his men to enter the underground cave. ''This look...I hate it.'' King Stephen clenched his fist when he saw the look on the old man''s face. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, one after another jumped into the tunnel leaving only King Stephen on the ground. ''Even though I hate to say it, I want them to aplish their mission; otherwise, I don''t think they will be giving me any cultivator''s stone.'' King Stephen muttered to himself as he walked to his room and asked his master, ''Master, do you mind exining to me why you sounded anxious earlier?'' Finally, King Stephen asked his master about his master''s anxiety earlier. ''It''s because of the King realm cultivators in that group. That is the reason why I asked you to send them as soon as possible.'' The old voice exined without any hesitation because his disciple should know about it? ''King realm cultivators? How is that possible?'' King Stephen was shocked as he tried his best to control his emotions before asking his master. ''It is possible to suppress the cultivation to the peak of the elite general realm; however, it will cost so much that even the cultivators from the Ylercester province can''t afford it.'' The old voice exined how a King realm cultivator entered this province. ''Damn it...I didn''t think this ''House of dragons'' would be brazen to send King realms cultivators for their mission.'' King Stephen didn''t like the cultivators from the ''House of Dragons'' from the very start. So, when he learned that there were King realm cultivators in the group, he could not help but curse them. ''Master, will it cause us any problem if Protector Olek finds out about us giving shelter to the King realm cultivators?'' ''Don''t worry. I think ''House of Dragons'' must have bribed the protector from their province and our province. However, we should still act like we don''t know anything about them.'' ''Of course, I will do that, master.'' ''Good. Just use the five cultivator''s stones to your loyal men and make them start their cultivation to the king realm. Remember, only loyal men and those men whom you forced to be your loyal men.'' The conversation between King Stephen and his master continued for a while as they nned for his future step by step. ''Master, do you know who many King realm cultivators the ''House of Dragons'' sent for this mission?'' Finally, King Stephen asked the question that was bothering him for a while. The thing is, he was unable to see the suppressed cultivation of the people from the ''House of dragon'' earlier; however, his master was different. In his prime age, he stood at the pinnacle of the world; however, for some unknown reason, he fell from the pinnacle to a lowly province called Zrochester province. So, he could see what others can''t and the only reason why King Stephen was able to be the strongest cultivator in the entire Zrochester province excluding the protector Olek. ''11. I sensed a total of eleven."'' ''What?'' King Stephen was shocked when he heard the reply from his master as he didn''t expect that the ''House of Dragons'' would send so many King realm cultivators. His master''s next words made King Stephen even more shocked and at the same time, he shuddered for a moment. ''What''s more, I felt that the old man emitted a low-killing intent towards you on multiple asions. I think the mission must be very important for them to mess up. So, they didn''t kill you.'' ''I still don''t understand what is so important in this Zrochester province? Are they trying to hunt down some rare spirit beast in the inner section of the cursed wilderness?'' What King Stephen was unable to understand is why it is so important for them in a lowly Zrochester province. ''My idiotic disciple, did you forget that during the Human-demon great war, the remains of many peak King realm cultivators and the peak demon king realm cultivators had scattered in different provinces. So, they must be searching for something rting to their Dragon king.'' The old voice exined King Stephen and at the same time, he warned, ''I am warning you not to have any second thoughts like spying on them. It is not good for you.'' ''Okay...fine. I will do as you say.'' King Stephen nodded his head as he went to sleep to start dreaming about his future. ¡­.. In an underground tunnel. ''Grandmaster, that foolish king was trying to establish dominance with us. Who does he think he is?'' ''Yeah, Grandmaster. After we find that mutated spirit crane, I am going to eat the bastard in a single gulp.'' . . . The old man and his team of 1100 members were rushing towards the royal hideout while the young ones started mocking King Stephen. ''Everyone, be silent.'' However, the old man asked everything to be silent as he continued, ''There is no sign of that mutated spirit crane in this province. Looks like she is covering her tracks.'' ''First, we have to go the royal hideout and create the formation to find out the location of the mutated spirit crane '' The old man was serious when he said those words because ording to their initial n, the magical map given by their master should have already found out the location of the mutated spirit crane. However, there was no sign of the spirit crane with the ''Crowned Turquoise Queen Bloodline'' on the magical map making them proceed to n B. "Even though the dragon master has given up a time limit of five months, we have to finish it within a month. Do you understand?" The old man didn''t give any time for the young men to speak as he set a deadline of one month. "Yes, grandmaster." Everyone, including the middle-aged men, nodded their heads because they knew how important this mission was for their master. ''However, I still don''t understand why Dragon master is sending so many of us four a spirit crane that didn''t even enter the King realm.'' Just like King Stephen, even the old man wondered about it while running. ''Even though this was an important mission, it is just too much. Nevertheless, I shouldplete it.'' However, he was determined toplete the mission as soon as possible for his master. The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1037: World Connector

Chapter 1037: World Connector

In the devourer eagle king''s world. ''Did he finish the awakening?'' Ajax didn''t have the slightest clue regarding the arrival of the cultivators from the ''House of dragons'' as he looked at the devourer eagle king in the sky. Finally, after a couple of hours of basking in the golden light, the devourer eagle king returned to normal state. ''Screech'' As though he was excited, the devourer eagle king released a loud screech. ''Looks like he is quite excited.'' Ajax could sense the devourer eagle king was very happy from the screech and he thought, ''Let''s see what are his skills.'' He was waiting for a long time to check the skills of the devourer eagle king. More importantly, he wanted to check the skill that could help the devourer eagle king create the portal to the other worlds. That was the main reason why he wanted to tame the devourer eagle king in the first ce. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Devourer eagle king. Strength:- Low-level King. Skills:- Gobble, steel wing, enchanted ws, energy beak, feather strike, sandstorm, and World connector. Bestialw:- 1) Advanced eleration (level 10):- Increases the flight speed by 10 times the original speed. Bestial skill (Law rted):- Teleport:- The spirit beast can instantly teleport 100000 kilometers in the same world. Cooldown:- One day 2) Beak, ws, and feathers? (level 1):- Increases the pration power from the attacks rting to these three parts of the eagle. Bestial skill w-rted):- Triad attack:-? When the skill is activated, abo with these three parts will bended on the opponent increasing the attacking power by from 3x to 10x to 100x. So, when the third attacknds on the opponent, he will receive an attack with 100 times more powerful than his regr attack. Bestial soul:- 1) Devour (level 1):- When the bestial soul is summoned, everything within 100 meters can be devoured by the spirit beast. Bestial skill (Soul rted):- Instadevourer, For one minute, the spirit beast can instantly devour anything within a kilometer radius and turn it into a powerful energy that can allow the spirit beast to fight for a long time. As soon as he focused on the devourer eagle king, theplete information appeared in front of Ajax that made him quite surprised. ''Woah...he has got some cool skills.'' Even though he didn''t check them in detail, he could tell what they could do because he saw simr skills in other spirit beasts. ''It got an additional bestialw. Is it from the earlier blessing of the devourer eagle king''s world?'' Since the bestialw was still at level 1, Ajax concluded that he gained a bestialw. ''Isn''t it better than nothing?'' Ajax was expecting a bloodline for the devourer eagle king; however, he was satisfied with another bestialw for the devourer eagle king. ''But, what I wanted is this one.'' However, Ajax''s focus waspletely on a single skill as he used the system to check the details on that particr skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- World connector. Effect:- With the help of the special energy called ''Devour energy'', the devour eagle king can open a big portal that can connect two small worlds for a particr time depending on the spirit consciousness of the spirit beast. Note:- 50 percent of the devour energy in the devourer eagle king''s body will be used up. Cooldown:- One month. Current status:- Not used yet. There was not much information on the skill; however, it was more than enough for Ajax to understand how useful it would be for him. ''There is another type of energy. I wonder how many types of energy there are in this world.'' Ajax was surprised to learn with another new energy and could not help but shake his head. Until a few moments ago, he knew energies like Astral energy, Sacred energy, Demonic energy, Cursed energy, and Sacred Astral energy; however, now another energy has been added to that list. So, Ajax was curious about the other energies. ''Coming back to the Wolrd connector, there is still one chance left for the devourer eagle king to use this skill. I think I can go and destroy another world before taking some rest.'' Ajax was excited when he saw ''Current status'' on the holographic screen. Even though the devourer eagle king had just opened a portal to the bronze demon world, he still got another chance to open the portal to another world. ''Maybe it was because of him breaking into the King realm.'' It was not very hard for Ajax to guess; however, he didn''t bother much about it as he was excited about his new world invasion. ''As for the Undead bronze demon world, I will take some time before entering it. Because the king of that world has a King realm elemental spirit.'' Ajax didn''t think much about the undead bronze demon world. Even though he acted like he could take down the undead bronze demon world, when he thought about the elemental spirits that were forcefully made into ves, Ajax wanted to have more strength before entering that world. "Alder, can you sense a mutated spirit crane in this word?" Soon, Ajax came out ofo his thoughts as he asked the devourer eagle king about the mutated spirit crane. ''Mutated spirit crane?'' The devourer eagle king drooled when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he was instantly hit by Ajax''s ''Advanced spatial des'' to bring out Alder from his thoughts of eating the mutated spirit crane. "Sorry master. When you said about the mutated spirit crane, I could not help but think about the time when I ate a spirit cranest time...that tender meat. I miss that taste." The devourer eagle king could not help but once again drool just thinking about it. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' Just like before Ajax once again used ''Advanced spatial des''; however, they have no effect on the devourer eagle king as they were deflected by the hard feathers of the eagle. "Wait for a second, master. I will check." Soon, the devourer eagle king closed his eyes for a couple of seconds before opening his eyes and said, "Found it, master." "That was fast." Ajax was surprised at how fastly the devourer eagle king was able to find out the silly bird''s location. "Bring it to me and if something happens to her, I will roast you alive. Did you understand?" Ajax ordered the devourer eagle king to bring the mutated spirit beast and at the same time, he wanted him to not do anything funny. "Yes, master." ''Swoosh'' Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king disappeared from his ce and after a dozen seconds, he appeared back with a mutated spirit crane in his ws. "Bastard, let me go." "Don''t eat me." "If you kill me, I will haunt you even in death." The mutated spirit crane in the devourer eagle king''s ws started cursing, begging, and all kinds of things without seeing Ajax who was standing in the distance. "Little Blue, did you enjoy your stay in the devourer eagle king''s world?" Seeing the struggling mutated spirit crane, Ajax asked her with a slight smile on his face. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets (Reach the target soon, guys). Chapter 1038: Seven Smaller Worlds

Chapter 1038: Seven Smaller Worlds

The mutated spirit crane was so angry with Ajax for nearly giving her a heart attack and cursed Ajax''s seven generations. ''Where did she learn all these curses?'' Ajax didn''t expect Little Blue to curse like that because she was just two years old and most of the time, he was with Princess Daphne. ''Don''t tell me she learned all those words from her ancestral memories.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head and looked at the devourer eagle king before asking, "Alder, is there anything special about this world?" He didn''t want to destroy the world which is in his control carelessly when it was not a demon world. So, he asked the devourer eagle king because he received a blessing from the world core and maybe in the future, he might gain something more from the world core. "The only specialty of this world is ''Not to have anything special." The devourer eagle king shook his head as he exined, "This world''s essence of nature is impure,ws are not clear. As for the blessing from the world core, it will not give me anything in the future unless I enter to upgrade it to a greater world." "Greater world?" Ajax was neither excited nor disappointed when he heard the devourer eagle king''s world. "Since it is almost impossible for this world to be a greater world, I will be destroying it. Are you okay with it?" Even though the devourer eagle king was his contracted spirit beast, Ajax didn''t want to destroy the home of his own contracted spirit beast right in front of his eyes. "Master, if you hadn''te, I would have destroyed it myself. So, I am with you on this one...Hehe." With a light chuckle, Alder replied to Ajax, making him surprised. "Why?" Ajax asked as he became curious about why the devourer eagle king wanted to destroy his own world. "This world always reminds me of my past where I was constantly bullied by others. I am waiting to be a King realm spirit beast, before destroying this world." Alder was a little serious while saying those words. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ask much about it because it is not an easy thing to survive in this dog-eat-dog world. "Also, I want to know something about your World connector skill." Soon, Ajax looked at the devourer eagle king as he continued, "Before creating the portal to the other worlds, can you check which world it is?" That was the question he wanted to ask the devourer eagle king food a while now because the system didn''t give details regarding it. Moreover, Ajax was positive that the devourer eagle king could open the portal to any world he wanted to because, earlier, in the bronze demon world, the devourer eagle king was not surprised to see bronze demons. "Yes, master. I can sense what worlds are around the world I am staying in. So, I choose the weakest smaller world around this devourer eagle king''s world; however, I can''t see the exact cultivation or the exact number of demons present in the world." The devourer eagle king exined more about his skill to Ajax. Some might be wondering how the devourer eagle king could tell the bronze demon world was the weakest one among the other worlds when he could not see the exact strength of the King or army of that world. Actually, he didn''t know that it was the weakest smaller world exactly. He only opened the portal to the bronze demon world only because it was the ''Bronze demon world'', the weakest demon ss. "Good" Ajax felt relief with Alder''s confirmation as he asked, "So, can you tell me what are the other worlds around this devourer eagle king''s world?" Since he would be destroying this world, he wanted to know about the other worlds around the devourer eagle king''s world. So that, he could choose one of them where he has absolute confidence in destroying the smaller world. "I sense there are a total of seven worlds around this world. Scourge Demon world, Hellish Ogre world, Storm werewolf king world, Shard Gaint world, Dirt trolls world, Grey dwarves world, and Obsidian naga world." In a single breath, the devourer eagle king said the names of the seven worlds as he continued, "Even though I can''t say exactly how powerful those worlds are, I can roughly tell which world is more powerful. They are ..." "Don''t fret over it. I can tell the Obsidian naga world, Scourge demon world and Hellish Ogre world are powerfulpared to the other worlds." Before the devourer eagle king could finish his worlds, Ajax interrupted as he said the names of the powerful worlds. "You are right, master." Alder nodded his head as he continued, "ording to what I know, the Obsidian naga world ispletely different from other worlds." "Yeah. I know. They are like humans with different forces ruling the different regions. So, it is very powerful." Ajax knew about all the worlds that the devourer eagle king had mentioned. So, of course, he knew about the Obsidian naga world too. From the time he got the system and started cultivating, all the things that he thought myths from Elder Boron''s stories started bing true. "Correct. So, which world did you choose for your next target, master?" The devourer eagle king wants a good fight after bing the King realm spirit beast. Even in the bronze demon world, before he could have a nice fight with the bronze demon king, the bronze demon sacrificed himself cursing Ajax. So, he was itching for a fight where he could go all out. Previously, he avoided all those worlds because he was not a King realm spirit beast and he was not confident in defeating any of those worlds. However, things have changed now. "For now, we are not going to destroy this world and keeping it as our center, will be destroying some of the worlds around us and as for the other worlds, we will see what we have to do with them." Since all the worlds around them were smaller worlds, Ajax wanted to explore all the worlds and destroy the evil worlds to increase his cultivation and make friendly rtions with other worlds. ''It is always better to have a good ally.'' That was the line in one of Elder Boron''s stories where the protagonist says. "As for the world we are going to invade next is ''Scourge demon world''." Ajax answered the devourer eagle king''s previous question with a slight smile on his face. "What? Scourge demon world?" Alder was shocked with Ajax''s world selection and soon became excited and thought, ''Looks like I found a masterpatible with me...Haha'' Heughed to himself with Ajax''s selection because he was the one who likes to challenge his limits and he got the master who wants the same. The devourer eagle king knew that he was the only King realm spirit beast under Ajax and the most powerful one. So, whatever his limits were, it will be greater than Ajax and his summons. ***** Tyler_Dowe, thanks for the LUXURY CAR.

Chapter 1039: [Bonus Chapter]Five Demon Emperors

[# Bonus chapter released for the gift LUXURY CAR.] In Golden Demon World (Greater world), ''Demon''s prey?'' ''Divine dragon?'' A demean that looked a little simr to the bronze demon king but even more fierce andpletely golden in colour, opened his eyes from the deep cultivation while muttering those words. He was around 10 meters in height while sitting and with two sharp horns on the sides of the head along with a small shining golden-coloured horn on the forehead. ''Snap'' "Demon Emperor, what are my orders?" With a snap, a group of golden demons appeared in front of him and asked for the orders. "I don''t know what you will do, but I want that divine dragon alive. Hunt the prey and bring it here at any cost." After finishing his words, the Golden Demon emperor closed his eyes and didn''t bother to say anything before closing his eyes. ''Yes, Demon Emperor.'' Soon, the golden demon kings nodded their heads and left from there. From the moment the Golden demon emperor snapped his fingers to the time his underlings left his cultivation chamber, it took only a minute. The so-called Golden demon emperor didn''t even exin much about anything because he knew that they also heard thest words of the bronze demon king. Moreover, with the ''Demon''s prey'' curse, they will find Ajax naturally. ''As long as they bring the divine dragon, I will make it my contracted spirit beast and help it be a Divine emperor beast. Then the other demon emperors will be jealous...Haha.'' After his underlings left, the Golden Demon Emperor silently thought in his head. ¡­. In Great Void Demon World (Greater world) ''Interesting.'' A world filled with thousands of voids leading to who knows where a ck-coloured demon came out of a void with a dead human in his hands. ''Not only I killed a human emperor, I even got the news of a divine dragon. I want it.'' Unlike the Gold demon emperor, this Great void demon emperor was thin and small as he threw the human aside. "Whoever gets me this? divine dragon, I will reward you with this human emperor and a human world to rule; however, remember one thing, I want it alive." Even though there were only voids everywhere and no other demons could be seen around him, he still gave his orders. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as the Great void demon emperor finished his words, more than 100 voids around him disappeared instantly. Not only that, more and more voids were disappearing; however, they were slow. ''I have to get this divine dragon and ording to the prophecy, the demon with the divine dragon, I will be that...Haha.'' The great void demon emperor muttered to himself imagining that he would get the divine dragon. ... Primordial Demon World (Greater world) This world waspletely surrounded by eerie energy that would instantly corrode any beings below the King realm instantly. There were no trees, only rocks, and barren mountains. In one of the tallest mountains, a Muscr human was in a cross-legged position with his eyes closed. ''A bronze demon king sacrificed himself just to inform us about the divine dragon? No...looks like he wanted the owner of the divine dragon to be hunted down by the entire demon race.'' All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and in his eyes and muttered to himself. If his eyes were still closed, then everyone would think he was a perfect human; however, his eyes were bloody-red with a ck dot in the center. Moreover, when he smiled, sharp demon teeth could be seen. "You know what to do right?" All of a sudden, the Primordial demon emperor said those words to simr-looking beings behind him. Compared to him, they were young and looked like humans in their twenties. "Don''t worry, emperor. We will make you the demon from the prophecy." A young primordial demon king came forward and bowed to the middle-aged muscr man before leaving with the other young men. ''Demon emperor with a divine dragon? What bullshit?'' Until the previous demon emperors, the primordial demon emperor didn''t believe the prophecy or whatever. ''I will groom it into a divine emperor dragon before cursing its blood to break through to the next realm.'' With a serious look on his face, the primordial demon emperor went back to his cultivation. ..... Nether Demon World (Greater world) A world filled with richher energy and in a ce where there was a pool filled with purple-colored water, a ckish purple-colored demon was sitting in the center of the pool while absorbing theher energy into his body. ''If I still have my special demon avatar, I would have sent it. Damn that human, he spoiled all my ns.'' He was still frustrated with the loss of his demon avatar in the five elemental world. "Demon Emperor, a bronze demon king, used the Demon sacrifice to cast the ''Demon''s prey'' and informed all the demons about a divine dragon." A small purple-colored winged demonnded on the edge of the pool and informed the demon cultivating in the center of the pool. ''A divine dragon? Is the prophecy about toe true regarding the demon emperor with a divine dragon?'' When his underling was miles away, the Nether demon emperor was disturbed because of the wings'' sounds and if his underling didn''t have a valid reason, he was ready to kill him. However, when he heard his underling''s words, the Nether demon emperor became excited and said to his underling, "As long as you capture it alive, I will make you my sessor. Not only my empire, but you will also get the divine dragon as my inheritance." "I will do my best to capture it, My lord." The underwing was excited when he heard the tempting offer from the Nether demon emperor and bowed to him before flying away. ¡­.. Astral? Demon World (Greater world) The fifth and thest demon emperor, Astral Demon Emperor was flying around the Astral Demon world in his astral form while absorbing the Astal energy. ''Huh? Demon''s prey? Divine dragon?'' All of a sudden, his astral form halted in the mid-air as he sensed something and became excited. ''Return.'' With a thought, his astral form returned to a human who was sitting in a cave. Unlike the other demon emperors, the astral demon emperor could possess anyone and ess their memories. Moreover, if his main body was killed, he will escape in his Astral form and possess other bodies. "All Astral demon kings are ordered toe here within a few moments." Soon, the Astral Demon Emperor sent the transmission to his hundreds of Astral demon kings and within no time, everyone appeared in front of the human in their astral form. "You already know about the divine dragon, right? I want you to keep an eye on it and the moment it was caught by another of the other four demon emperors'' minions, I want you to kill them, then secretly possess them before bringing the divine dragon back to me." The Astral Demon Emperor didn''t have much attack power; however, he was cruel and had many underhanded skills and methods. Even though his minions didn''t understand why they had to possess other demons before bringing them back, they didn''t dare to question their demon emperor. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets Chapter 1040: Second Silver Demon world Pass

Chapter 1040: Second Silver Demon world Pass

In a cave, in some random normal world, "As long as you learn a weapon dao from one of the marks on the wall within 24 hours, I will reward you heavily and the trial starts now." A handsome demon that looked exactly like a human if not for the horn on his head, said those words to the two young humans around the age of 18 years. "Sir Zanath, it is impossible for anyone to learn? a weapon dao within a single dag." One of the young men replied with a respectful look on his face. The handsome demon was none other than the Zanath, who is a half-human and half-demon and he wanted to stop the demons from invading the humans. So, he created many trial grounds and indirectly groomed the cultivators entering these trial grounds. He even helped Paulin be a summoner whereas Ajax only got the seeds of some rare ingredients to nt in his inner world to increase the purity of this inner world. "Kid, if you want the reward, you have to finish that. Moreover, there are six cultivators whoplete the trial from the Zrochester province. As the young lords from the Xacaster province, can''t you evenplete such a basic trial? Sigh...I am very disappointed in two." Zanath sighed as he said in a disappointed tone. "What? Six cultivators from the Zrochester province?" "It is impossible." The two young men retorted saying that was impossible. "So, are you telling me that I am lying to you?" Suddenly, the air in the cave turned cold as Zanath asked the two young men in a calm yet cold voice. "N..no, sir." "Please forgive us. We believe your words." Soon, the two young men hurriedly apologized and decided toplete the trial. "Good." Zanath was satisfied with their response as he nodded his head. ''Huh?'' Suddenly, he sensed something and without any hesitation, he hurriedly disappeared from the cave and appeared in the sky. ''Demon''s prey is used on a human?'' Unlike the five demon emperors, Zanath was not at all bothered about the divine dragon; instead, he was worried about the human who was cursed by the bronze demon king. ''Damn it...I have to protect the human with the divine dragon at any cost.'' Soon, he clenched his fists as he determined to protect the human and continued thinking, ''Once this trial is finished, I will start searching for him.'' Even though Ajax was cursed, only the nearby demons could sense it and as for the demons who were far away like Zanath and the demon emperors, they had to use special artifacts or just search for the bronze demon world where the human was cursed. Nevertheless, it would take some time before they could locate Ajax''s location. .... In the devourer eagle king''s world, Ajax waspletely oblivious regarding the ns of the demon emperors and Zanath as he was talking with the devourer eagle king. "Since the demons want to kill me and take my divine dragon, isn''t it better for us to clear the misunderstanding between us?" There was an evil smile on Ajax''s face while he was saving those words. "I will do whatever you wish me to do, master." Alder also revealed an excited look in his eyes as he replied to Ajax. "Everyone, gather here." Once the next world was selected, Ajax asked all his summons to gather around him. "You all need to take rest for the next 24 hours and I need you to be in your top condition. Tomorrow, we are going to invade the Scourge demon world." Ajax said in a serious tone as he didn''t want his summons to train for the next 24 hours and get tired. "Yes, summoning master." "Yes, master." Everyone nodded their heads and selected a good ce to take a rest. "Ajax, what are you nning to do? Aren''t you supposed to protect me?" However, the same can''t be said for the mutated spirit crane as she never thought Ajax was on a mission of world invasions. So, she got scared. "Aren''t you still alive? Don''t worry. I will get you back after six months. Until then, you cane and invade with us or stay in this devourer eagle world." Ajax''s words made the mutated spirit crane even more scared; however, she didn''t bother Ajax anymore fearing the devourer eagle king who was looking at her angrily. ''Within the next six months, I have to enter the elite general realm at any cost.'' Ajax set a target for himself and he wanted to destroy eight more worlds by the time the little blue''s protection missiones to an end. Since there was a cool-down period of one month for the devourer eagle king''s ''World connector'', within the six months, he could create six portals; however, it was not enough for him as he still needed two more worlds. ''Moreover, if the world is not an evil one, I can''t destroy it. So, I need at least five more world passes to stay on the safe side. Adding to the undead bronze demon world and the silver demon world (Normal world), I still need three more.'' Ajax got annoyed for a moment before realizing, ''How can I forget the system rewards? ording to the system, every time, a destroy a world, I will get a reward from it.'' Once he thought about it, Ajax was no longer annoyed as he was looking forward to tomorrow''s invasion. ''Also, I still haven''t opened the special gift box I got from making the Nameless cultivator as my follower.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of a reward which he hadn''t opened for a while and decided to open it now hoping he would get something that might help him for the uing invasion. ''Ding, Do you want to open the special gift box? Just as Ajax thought about the special gift box, the system directly asked him about it. ''Of course, I want to open it.'' Ajax nodded his head as he walked toward a boulder and sat on it. ''Ding, The host got a ticket to the silver demon world. ''What? Another one?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before bing a little disappointed. Previously, he collected 100 fragments of the silver keys and got a key that opens a portal to the silver demon world. And now, he has another entry to the silver demon world. Even though with that ticket, he could enter the silver world, Ajax felt it would have been better if he got a ticket to a smaller world. ''Silver demon world is a normal world and to destroy a normal world, my current is not enough.'' Although he became a little arrogant after gaining the devourer eagle king, he was still able to think about his limits. So, unless he made a major breakthrough, Ajax decided not to enter the silver demon worlds. .... Time continued to pass as Ajax and his summons all rested for 24 hours before starting preparing for their next invasion. "Are you all ready for some action?" Soon, Ajax shouted at his summons and then nodded his head to the devourer eagle king who opened the portal to the Scourge demon world. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets (Reach the target soon, guys). Chapter 1041: Maintain a perfect formation

Chapter 1041: Maintain a perfect formation

Scourge demon world, even though it is a smaller world, it is inhabited by many billions of scourge demons. As for the scourge demons, they were neither high-ss demons nor lower ss demons. They have good sword skills along with other demonic skills making them a lot stronger than the bronze demons with the same cultivation realm. The world was filled with volcanos; however, they were not regr volcanos; instead, they were emitting mysterious energy in the form of smoke. As for the temperature in that world, it was more or less simr to the human world. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, a huge portal appeared in front of the volcano as Ajax and his army walked out of it. ''Ding, The system detected that the host entered a demon world. The ''demon''s prey'' curse will attract the demons to you. Please be careful. Just as Ajax entered the scourge demon world, he got a system notification. ''It is better this way as it will save me the trouble of searching for them.'' Ajax revealed an excited smile on his face as he turned back to his summons and said, "Everyone, this time there is no need to separate just thest time. All the demons in this world wille for us and you can go all out against them." "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Since their master was helping them increase their cultivation through many valuable resources, they wanted to help him. Moreover, they also wanted to exhaust themselves through the battles; otherwise what is the use of having his cultivation? "Everyone, form a circle." "Spirus, Flower, ris, and Lumin, you three will always stay in the circle and heal those who are injured; however, at the same time, you can use your attacking skills from time to time." "Halo, you also stay with them and from time to time freeze all the demons around us." "Volcanis, Prophis, Cerauno, Necros, Ignis, and Blood, there are no restrictions for us. Your only aim is to kill all the demons around you." "Septon, Dabrus, and others will be led by Zen." "Twilight, you are in charge of the Scourge demon king. Until then, you are not allowed to use any of your attacks, did you understand?" Within a short span, Ajax gave his orders to all the elemental spirits and the divine dragon regarding what they have to do. He used the simple strategy of keeping the elemental spirits with healing skills and the supporting skill in a safe position and the elemental spirits with high attacking power to roam and fight as they wished. He and the remaining elemental spirits would form a circle to stop the demons from entering the circle. "Understood, summoning master." All the elemental spirits nodded their heads; however, Twilight grunted because he wanted to destroy everything. ''Right! I forget this. Twilight, you can start attacking just like Volcanis and others to build up your power and when the Scourge demon king appears, you are to fight him. Are you satisfied now?'' Ajax thought of something and immediately changed his orders for the divine dragon. ''Roar'' Twilight was satisfied with his new task and roared with excitement. "Master, what about me?" Even though Ajax had not finished his orders for the contracted spirit beasts yet, the task of fighting the Scourge demon king belongs to the devourer eagle king. At least, that''s what Alder thought to himself. So, when he heard that task belongs to the divine dragon, he could not help but ask Ajax. "Alder, you are not allowed to fight until I order you to do so." However, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king to remain idle while others fight the scourge demons. "Don''t worry. You will have your turn to shine." Ajax knew what he was doing and how it was going to affect the devourer eagle king who was expecting to fight the King realm cultivator for a while. "As you wish, master." Even though he was a little disappointed, Alder thought it was not a big deal and nodded his head. "Zan, Dan, Damilius, Red and ck kitties, Monkey, and Lightning, you are the first circle of defense for the healers whereas I and the other elemental spirits will be the second circle." Soon, he gave the orders for other contracted spirit beasts. "We will try our best in stopping the demons from crossing our circle of defense." All the contracted spirit beasts were excited hearing Ajax''s words and looking for the iing scourge demons. ''Aargh'' ''Thud thud'' "Kill everyone." "As long as we absorb the energy from the curse, we will receive good growth in our cultivation." "I don''t know about you. For me, I want to eat everyone. They look so delicious." Soon, from the distance, red coloured demons were rushing towards Ajax and his summons as though they were the delicious meal for them. Almost all the demons were around two to three meters in height and each one of them had a huge sword in their hands. "Everyone, get ready. Here, theye." Looking at the rushing demon army, Ajax excitedly said to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. No one attacked the iing demons until they were just 10 meters away and the moment they entered the 10-meter range, Halo flew into the sky like a divine being and shouted ''Time Halt'' As soon as he used that skill, the demons within an 80 meters radius were frozen. ''Advanced spatial des'' "Dimensional de" "Fire asteroids" "Blood control" "Magical dark vines" ''Weapon creation'' . . Everyone with the long-range attacks used their attacks on the frozen scourge demon army. ''Ding, Killed more than one million fire scourge demons of varying cultivations frommander realm to elite general realm. ''Ding, No reward is avable. ''Not bad.'' Just in the first wave of attacks, Ajax and his summons were able to kill more than one million fire scourge demons making Ajax nod his head. The important thing is, all the attacks they used were basic level attacks without any enhancements. So, the power in their attacks was very less. Also, there were around two million fire scourge demons in the first wave of attack. "Nice one, everyone. Let''s continue like this and destroy the entire world." Ajax shouted, boosting the morale of his summons. After the first wave of attack from Ajax and his summons, there were only a few fire scourge demons left in the distance and they were hesitating whether they should fight or leave. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' However, before they coulde to a conclusion, the 10 devourer eagle generals flying in the sky used their steel wings to cut the fire scourge demons into half at an incredible speed. After clearing all the fire scourge demons in the first wave, the devourer eagle general started consuming the demons trying their best to learn the ''devour'' bestialw. ''As long as they learn the devour bestialw and add with my world destruction mission, they will be King realm beasts sooner orter.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he looked at the devourer eagle generals in the distance who were enjoying their meal. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 400 Golden Tickets (Only 9 more to go.)

Chapter 1042: [Bonus Chapter]Three Demon Kings

''Thud thud'' ''Aargh'' It didn''t take much time before another wave of scourge demons starteding at them. However,pared to before, these waves of scourge demons looked more powerful and they were different in colour. There are three types of scourge demons that were present in the iing wave. Along with the fire scourge demons, there were water scourge demons and wind scourge demons. Except for the colour, all three types of scourge demons looked the same with huge swords in their hands. "How dare you enter our world and kill my minions?" "Today we''re are going to kill you." "Brothers, let''s put our differences aside for now and kill these outsiders first. What do you say?" "Yes, brother. Let''s kill them and fight for the divine dragonter." Not only were their billions of scourge demons in this wave, but there were also three huge scourge demons walking behind their army. The thing is, they were only able to sense the ''Demon''s prey'' curse; however, they didn''t know the words of the bronze demon king because it was only transmitted to the special demons and the demon emperors only. So, they didn''t have the slightest clue that the five demon emperors were converting the divine dragon. If they knew about it, they would have not coveted it even in their dreams because they swore their allegiance to the Primordial demon emperor. Moreover, they were enraged at Ajax and his summons at the fact that some outsiders hade to their world to invade. Generally, they were the ones to invade other worlds. So, they were furious and wanted to kill Ajax and his summons. "Three demon kings?" Ajax frowned when he was unable to sense the cultivation of the three huge scourge demons in the distance. ''Master, they are demon kings for sure.'' While Ajax was frowning, the devourer eagle king confirmed Ajax''s doubts. "This will be more interesting than I thought." Once he got the confirmation from the devourer eagle king, Ajax revealed an excited smile. That''s right! He was not worried a single bit; instead, he was excited because he was confident in killing those three demon kings. "Everyone, clear these demon minions first. Attack with your full power." Soon, Ajax shouted at his summons to go all out without any hesitations. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' ''Kacha'' As soon as he gave the orders, the massacre began as millions of scourge demons were killing instantly. "Not bad. No wonder you got the balls to enter our world with such unique and powerful elemental spirits; however, too bad, we are much more powerful than you." The fire scourge demon king scoffed at Ajax. Even though Ajax and his summons were able to kill millions of their underlings, they didn''t feel much. "Haha¡­.that''s right! Human, you seem to be their master. So, let me give you the details of this world''s army." As for the wind scourge demon king, he startedughing at Ajax as he exined how powerful their armies were. In the bronze demon world, there were more than a billion bronze demons; however, this scourge demon world was more powerful than a bronze demon world because it gave birth to three demon kings. As for the army, each scourge demon king had 10 billion scourge demons under them that were led by 1000 elite scourge demons generals and 100 demon demi-kings. Demon demi-kings are the demons who had the cultivation of the peak level 10 elite demon general along with a level 10 demonicw; however, they didn''t have any hope of entering the King realm in their life. Basically, they were invincible below the King realm. "Oh. So, each one of you has 10 billion underlings under you? No wonder you are still keeping your cool even when my summons killed a couple of millions of your underlings." At first, Ajax was shocked at the powerful demon army; however, the demon inside him was urging him to let him out saying that ''I will take care.'' Moreover, Ajax still had a couple of trump cards. So, he was not worried about the demon army. "Everyone, there are some changes in the n now." After learning how powerful the scourge demon army was, Ajax started changing the ns. "Alder, you take the wind scourge demon king." "Twilight, you take the water scourge demon king." "Volcanis, Ignis, Zen, and Necros, the fire scourge demon king is all yours. Even if you can''t kill them, I want you to stall him as much time as you can." Since there were three demon kings in this world, Ajax didn''t think much before asking his powerful elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Halo and Prophis, you two work together." Since Halo didn''t have any powerful attack to instantly kill therge number, Ajax formed Prophis and Halo as a team. "Zan, use your bestialw without holding back anything and kill as many scourge demons as possible." . . . Soon, Ajax modified the ns and while doing that, he didn''t bother to use the voice transmission and allowed the three demon kings to hear his n. As for the three demon kings, they were surprised to see the King realm devourer eagle king for a moment; however, they were not as weak-willed as the bronze demon king. Nevertheless, they asked their armies for Ajax to change his ns and only then, Ajax could feel great despair when they defeated him. ''Thud'' "So, are you ready? Shall we fight now?" The fire scourge demon king asked with a slight smile on his face as he ced his huge sword on the ground. "Of course, let''s start." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head. "Attack" Seeing that Ajax was ready to fight, the three demon kings gave the order to their underlings to attack Ajax and his summons. ''Roar'' ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' As for Twilight and Alder, they didn''t bother with the low-level scourge demons; instead, they flew into the sky with the Volcanis and the other three elemental spirits on their back and rushed towards the three demon kings. Just when they reached the demon kings, the elemental spirit jumped off from the dragon and the eagle. ''Screech'' The devourer eagle king was the first one to start attacking the wind scourge demon king; he caught the demon king and flew into the sky after letting out a loud screech and used his attack to heavily injure the demon king before throwing into the scourge demons. ''Roar'' Next, it was the twilight dragon. ''Swoosh'' ''Divine destructive cannon'' Amidst his flight, the twilight dragon released the energy beam from his mouth and sted the water scourge demon king into the distance. ''Blind'' "Fire asteroids" As for the third demon king, Necros and Zen used their ''Blind'' skill, to seal the demon king''s senses before Volcanis and Ignis used the same skill at the fire scourge demon king. ''Boom'' Within a short time, all these scourge demon kings were dominated by Ajax''s summons. "Everyone, it is not over. Continue attacking them." Ajax thought his summons might let down their guards seeing that they have the upper hand. So, he warned them while killing the demons in front of him. "That''s right! This is not over." Suddenly, all three demon kings stood up with an eerie smile on their faces. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 450 Golden Tickets (Thest target is yet to reach.) Chapter 1043: Grade 5 Sword Dao Fragments

Chapter 1043: Grade 5 Sword Dao Fragments

The three scourge demon kings stood up and looking at their opponents, they revealed an eerie smile on their ces. "Demonic fire sword" "Demonic wind de" "Demonic Water de." Without any hesitation, all three scourge demon kings activated their demonicws and soon, the swords in their hands were covered with their respective elements like fire, wind, and water. "Demonic Fire enhancement" "Demonic Water enhancement" "Demonic Wind enhancement" At the same time, they didn''t forget to activate their special skills to boost the battle prowess of their armies. ''Aargh'' ''Th...this power.'' ''I am powerful now. I will kill them now.'' The three types of scourge demons grew by a couple of meters in height as they became excited and continued to rush towards Ajax and others. "Shadow clone." "Advanced spatial des" "Beast summoning" "Blood clones" "Magical vines" "Weapon creation and weapon enchantment" "Earthquake" "Wind des" . . . Ajax was not nning to use his ultimate skills or bloodline anytime soon; instead, he was using other skills and killed the iing demons. After the enhancement from the three demon kings, the scourge demons became a lot stronger and the number of demons they killed in each attack also decreased. "Golden bear king domain" Just when they were overwhelmed by the scourge of demons, Ajax decided to use his bloodline and demon form; however, the little golden bear king used his bestialw to save the day. "True Golden bear king form." As for his far, the senior golden bear king transformed into a 100-meter golden bear king and started munching on the iing demons. Damilius, the sea tauren was hacking down the demon with his huge battle axe. Monkey, ck kitty, Red kitty, Lightning. They all reached the peak rank 6 and their sizes were also around 10 meters to 20 meters. Their killing efficiency was also great, making Ajax nod his head. ''These new ones became very powerful in such a short time.'' Next, he looked at the elemental spirits that he formed contracts recently. Each one of their attacks was unique and powerful. Every time, they attack, they are able to kill more than 1000 scourge demons. "Die, human." All of a sudden, a demi king realm wind scourge demon sneaked an attack on Ajax. ''Teleport'' If the demon didn''t shout, he might have taken the hit; however, because of that shout, Ajax was able to dodge the attack in time with the help of the ''Teleport''. ''Poison Demon hand'' ''ng'' Ajax appeared behind the demon and without wasting any time, he used the poison demon hand to pierce the demi king realm demon; however, his hand was unable to prate through his body. "Haha...human, are you thinking of killing me with your level 3 general realm cultivation? What a joke. If you think..." ''Puchi'' The demi king realm demon was scoffing at Ajax and before he could finish his words, an ancient sword pierced through his heart. ''What?'' His demonic face waspletely covered in shock as he looked at Ajax and the inheritance sword in his head. "In the next life, be silent when you are sneaking an attack on someone." ''Thud'' After finishing his words, Ajax pulled out his sword and the demi-king realm demon''s body fell to the ground. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a demi king realm demon. ''Ding, Rewards:- 1 spirit point and 1 grade 5 sword dao fragment. ''What?'' Soon, Ajax got the system notification regarding his kill making him pleasantly surprised. Since the system didn''t bother him with the kill notifications, Ajax thought he would get nothing for killing these demons. So, when he saw the reward, he was happy despite the fact it was just a single spirit point. ''Shadow clone, guard me.'' As he was amidst the war, Ajax could not recklessly check the rewards and he was curious about the reward. Without wasting any time, he directly focused on it and soon the system sent him theplete information. ''Ding, Item name:- Sword dao fragment x 1 Quality:- Grade 5 Effect:- An item that will help a cultivator with grade 4 sword dao to increase his sword dao to grade 5. Note:- To use it, the host has to collect 100 fragments and merge it into a Grade 5 Sword dao rune. ''Excellent. As long as I and my summons kill the 100 demi king realm demons, I can instantly upgrade my grade 4 sword dao to grade 5. At that time, I can have the hopes of dealing some damage to the? king realm cultivators.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax felt motivated and looked for the demi-king realm demons. ''Found you.'' It didn''t take much time before he found a couple of them. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' With a couple of teleports, Ajax sneaked an attack on a demi king demon and it was a sess. "How dare you sneak attack on my brother?" The other demi king demon beside the demi king demon that Ajax had just killed, became furious and shed his sword at Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Ajax disappeared and appeared behind the demi king demon before using, ''Mountain splitting technique'' ''sh'' ''Kacha'' Since his sword dao was at grade 4 and adding the power of his sword technique, Ajax was able to kill him in a single attack. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing two demi king realm demons. ''Ding, Rewards:- 2 spirit points and 2 grade 5 sword dao fragments. ''As expected, all demi king demons are giving the grade 5 sword dao fragments.'' Looking at the two system notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief before searching for the other demi king demons. Earlier, Ajax was not sure whether all the demi king demons would give the sword dao fragments. However, it became clear for him, and without wasting his time, Ajax started hunting down the demi king demons. With just cultivation of level 3 general realm, Ajax was using his inheritance sword, grade 4 sword dao, and the sword technique to pierce the defense of the demons. ''sh'' Also, from time to time, he would release a huge sword wave, killing more than 1000 low-level scourge demons in a single attack. ''All the demi king demons, keep an eye on that human. Even though his cultivation is low, he was able to kill 10 of us within a short span.'' Seeing that monsterous attacking power of Ajax, the demi king demon that was noticing Ajax hurriedly warned others. ''He might have high attacking power; however, what if he was overwhelmed with hundreds of elite demon generals and dozens of demi king demons at once?'' Actually, there were more than a couple of demi demon kings who noticed Ajax''s monstrous killing speed. So, one of the demi king demons suggested a n. ''How about let''s separate him from his summons? Those healing type elemental spirits are instantly healing him and his summons whenever we make some severe injuries.'' ''Moreover, once he kills him, all the summons will die along with him.'' ''Also, I don''t believe he can kill a dozen of us at once.'' Soon, they devised a n just for Ajax and that was to separate him from his summons. **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 450 Golden Tickets ****** Books need a site-wide promotion for the book through the gifts.

Chapter 1044: Falling into a trap

Even though all Ajaxs summons were killing so many scourge demons, they were also getting injured from time to time; however, they were instantly healed by the group of elemental spirits that have healing skills. It was implied to Ajax also. No matter whether it was a scratch or a cut, it was healed. Seeing that the elemental spirits with the healing skills are causing them so much damage, they wanted to kill them and even reached them. However, just when they were about to kill those elemental spirits, they would be immobilized by some kind of invisible force and killed by Spirus and other elemental spirits with healing skills. So, they wanted to take care of Ajax by separating him from the group. ''Everyone, maintain a distance between each other and separate him from the group.'' The leader of the demi king demons ordered the cruel order for the other demi demons. Basically, he was sentencing the few demi king demons to their death. Since Ajax was mainly focusing on killing the demi king demons, then he decided to give him some whale separating Ajax from his summons. ''Swoosh'' Once they received the order, no demi king demons retorted; instead, they were ready to give their lives to defend their world. ''Puchi'' ''sh'' ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' Thebination of ''Teleport'', ''Sword technique'' and grade 4 sword dao with the inheritance sword made Ajax easily kill the demi king demons. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing ten demi king realm demons. ''Ding, Rewards:- 10 spirit points and 10 grade 5 sword dao fragments. Within a short span, Ajax killed 10 demi king demons along with hundreds of elite demon generals and thousands of the normal scourge demons. ''So far I killed around 20 demi king demons. I still, 80 more grade 5 sword fragments.'' Ajax felt excited as he searched for the next demi king demon while casually swinging his sword at the normal scourge demons. ''There are two.'' In the distance, he found demi king demons who were looking at him with angry looks on their faces. "Haha" Ajax had a devilish smile as he looked at the demi king demons and teleported himself to them. He was in so much excitement that he failed to notice that there was something wrong with thest 10 demi king demons he had killed. And that was, all the demi king demons were in a straight line opposite to his summons, and everything he killed a demon king demon, he was moving from his summons by at least 100 meters or so. ''Sword wave'' ''Mountain splitting technique.'' This time, he didn''t wait until he reached the demi king demons; instead, he released a sword wave using his only sword technique that released a huge sword wave that not only killed the two demi king demons but it also killed thousands of scourge demons around them. "Everyone, it''s time." Once Ajax was a couple of kilometers away from his summons, the three leaders of the demi king demons shouted at the remaining demi king demons and surrounded Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Not only did the 200 plus demi king demons surrounded Ajax but even 1000 elite demon generals also surrounded Ajax. ''What?'' Only after seeing the powerful scourge demons and demi king demons, Ajax understood that he was careless and fell into a trap. "Human, there is no way for you to escape. You are going to die today and with you, your summons will follow you." The leader of the demi king demons revealed an evil smile as he signaled everyone to attack once. "No wonder you are a demon who will sacrifice your own friends just for bait." Ajax was shocked only for a moment before scoffing at the leader of the demi king demons without any fear. ... On the other side, the battle between the demon kings and Ajax''s summons became intense. Once the demon kings activated their demonic souls that evolved from the demonicws, the weapons in their hands became legendary grade weapons. Moreover, the aura emitted by them also became very powerful. Among the three battles, the devourer eagle king and the wind demon king were very intense. Both king realm beings excel in speed and they were moving while leaving the after images. "You must have recently entered the King realm. If I were you, I would have note to invade other worlds; instead, I would have consolidated my cultivation and understood my capabilities first." After shing more than a hundred moves, the wind scourge demon king revealed a mocking smile as he said to the devourer eagle king. Currently, the devourer eagle king waspletely covered in injuries; however, none of them were life-threatening. ''Screech'' However, when he heard the demon king''s words, the devourer eagle king became furious and disappeared from his ce. "Where are you going now? Are you running away?" Seeing that the devourer eagle king was running away, the wind scourge demon king could not help but mock Alder before following him at an incredible speed. ''Screech'' Suddenly, the devourer eagle king let out a loud screech and turned back at the demon king before saying, "Running away from you? Haha." Alder revealed a light chuckle as he flew towards the demon king at an incredible speed. ''Steel wing'' Before reaching the demon king, he turned his wings in sharp steel des that could cut through anything. "If you want to die so badly, I will give you one." The demon king was surprised only for a moment before tightening his grip around the sword''s hilt and just when the devourer eagle king reached him, he swung it at the eagle king. ''Swoosh'' However, Alder disappeared in mid-air and appeared on the ground. ''sh'' ''Huh?'' Just as the devourer eagle kingnded on the ground, a huge cut appeared on the demon king''s cheek. "Damn you, bird. I will make you pay for this." The demon king became furious when he touched his face that was covered in ck blood. "Haha...do you think I brought you here just to make a cut on your face?" However, the devourer eagle king was in a great mood as he felt that his second bestialw ''Advanced eleration'' would break through into a ''Soul'' anytime and would be a bestial soul. Also, there was a reason why he brought the demon king to this ce that was filled with millions of scourge demons. "Devour soul, activate." Without any hesitation, he activated his devour soul and instantly devoured the scourge demons in the 100-meter radius around him. With the devouring of nearly one hundred thousand scourge demons around him, the injuries on the devourer eagle king instantly healed and at the same time, his aura grew as though he received a boost. "Let''s see how you will overpower me now." As soon as he finished his words, the devourer eagle king disappeared from his ce leaving behind the dried demon bones. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' Without wasting any time, the devourer eagle king started using all his attacks without giving any time for the wind scourge demon king to use any of his skills. ***** Eugen_aleab, thanks for the LUXURY CAR (a bonus chapter ising as I promised.) ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 450 Golden Tickets Chapter 1045: [Bonus Chapter]Might Divine Dragon

Chapter 1045: [Bonus Chapter]Might Divine Dragon

# Bonus chapter (Luxury car) The wind scourge demon king tried his best to dodge the attack; however, the devourer eagle king''s attacks were very fast. ''Damn it...how the hell did he be so fast all of a sudden?'' While the devourer eagle king was in attacking, the demon king could only use his defensive moves to defend. ''If this goes on, I will die from the external injuries.'' ''If this goes on, I can easily kill this demon king.'' The demon king and the devourer eagle silently thought in their heads. Between them, the devourer eagle king gained a little advantage after he gainedprehension in his ''Advanced eleration''. However, he was yet to evolve his bestialw into a bestial soul. Even though the devourer eagle king''s attacking power is high, it was still notparable to an actual king realm cultivator because all the devourer eagles rely on their speed to increase their attacking powers. So, he was unable to leave major injuries on the wind scourge demon king; however, as long as he maintained his current attacking strategy, he would definitely bleed the demon king to death. ¡­.. The next intense battle was between the Divine destructive twilight dragon and the water scourge demon king. Compared to the devourer eagle king, the divine dragon was struggling a lot when fighting against the demon king. "So, divine dragons are only so-so?" The demon king mocked when he sted the twilight dragon into one of the strange volcanos. "Roar" As a divine dragon, the twilight dragon was very proud and when he heard the demon king''s words, something in his head broke as he roared crazily that shook all the surrounding demons. "Bestialw:- Divine destruction, activate." After roaring at the demon king, the twilight dragon activated his bestialw. "What? You have the bestialw?" The water demon king was shocked to the core when he heard the twilight dragon''s words and hurriedly stepped backward. "Of course, I have it." Seeing that slight fear in the demon king''s words, the twilight dragon felt good and without any hesitation, he shouted, "Divine destruction cannon." ''Swoosh'' ''Argh'' ''Puchi'' However, he didn''t aim this divine destruction cannon at the demon king; instead, it was aimed at the elite demon generals and the billions of the scourge demons in the distance. Wherever the energy beam went, it left nothing but ashes and in an instant, more than a couple of millions of the scourge demons were instantly pulverized. ''Aargh'' Receiving the feedback boost from the destruction he created with the divine destruction cannon, the twilight dragon groaned in pleasure as his battle prowess was temporarily boosted to the demi king realm. "If you had a bestialw, then why the hell did you receive my attacks until now and got injured from it." The water scourge demon king didn''t understand why the twilight dragon was getting beaten by him until now when he had the power to kill him. "Before I wanted a ''Massage'' and it''s been so long since I got one." With a chuckle, the twilight dragon replied to the demon king before saying, "Okay then, it looks like my master is in a bit of trouble. I have to protect him as his first contracted spirit beast." ''Bestial skill- Devine destroyer.'' ''Divine destruction cannon'' As soon as he finished his words, the twilight dragon didn''t bother wasting any more time before using the skill rted to the bestialw along with his powerful skill. ''Swoosh'' Soon, four rays of powerful purple-coloured energy beams came from the dragon''s mouth, and just when they were about to hit the demon king, they merged and sted the demon king and made arge hole in his body. ''Thud'' With a shocked look on his face and his lifeless body fell to the ground wondering how it was possible. That''s right! A peak rank 6 spirit beast killed a low-level king realm demon with just a level 1 bestialw. ''Cough...cough'' Even though he killed the demon king, the twilight dragon started coughing blood. ''Looks like I forced myself. I need to upgrade my bestialw as much as possible.'' Without thinking much, the twilight dragon knew the reason why he was coughing the blood and decided to increase the bestialw. ''Swoosh'' Just as he thought, the divine dragon''s body emitted a golden glow for a second before disappearing without a trace. ''Haha...it''s upgraded to level 2.'' After the golden glow disappeared, some memories flooded into his head and after reading them, he was ted and startedughing because his bestialw was upgraded to level 2. ''Let''s see how I can help my master.'' Soon, he checked his surroundings and saw the devourer eagle king was dominating his fight on one side, and on the other side, the four elemental spirits were fighting the fire scourge demon king. ''Looks like they were in a stalemate. Anyway, first, I will go and help the master and until then, they will definitely require my help. So, I will help them then.'' With that thought in his mind, the twilight dragon flew towards Ajax while casually killing the surrounding scourge demons with his wings and tail. The reason why he decided not to help Volcanis and others was that they asked him not to interfere as they wanted to test their limits. As a proud divine dragon, why would he interfere with their battle? So, he just started destroying the demons. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast ''Divine destructive twilight dragon'' killed the ''Water scourge demon king''. ''Ding, The rewards are:- 100 spirit points, Legendary grade Demonic sword (Water), Water demon heart. Just as Ajax was thinking of a good n to kill all the demi king demons to get the sword dao fragments, he got two system notifications that gave Ajax a pleasant surprise. ''No wonder, everyone wants a divine dragon.'' Ajax only nced at the rewards; however, he didn''t bother them because he was still surprised by the divine dragon''s battle prowess. ''Let''s not think about it.'' Soon, Ajax shook his head as he looked around and saw the number of elite demon generals increased. "Since you want to fight me alone, I will not disappoint you." Ajax put the inheritance sword into the ground and with an evil smile, he muttered, ''Demonic form, activate.'' As his summons were going all out, how could he still keep his trump cards to himself? So, he started with the ''demonic form'' andter activated the bloodline ''Abyssal beast god bloodline.'' As soon as he activated his demonic form and the bloodline, his eyes turned pitch ck and he started to emit the demonic aura that made all the iing elite demon generals and the demi king demons pause for a moment. ''Th..this is¡­.the aura of a demon. How can he have it?'' ''Moreover, from the looks of it, even though the aura didn''t have the pressure of the Demon King, it definitely belongs to a demonic king.'' The demi king demons muttered to themselves for a moment; however, they stopped thinking about it and rushed towards Ajax in order to kill him. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 450 Golden Tickets Chapter 1046: Triple Attributed Scourge Demon

Chapter 1046: Triple Attributed Scourge Demon

The Abyssal beast god bloodline increased Ajax''s battle prowess by three times and adding the multiple times of power from his demon form, Ajax didn''t feel the slightest fear even when he was surrounded by 200 demi king demons and more than 1500 elite demon generals. "Come" Ajax didn''t move from his ce as he signaled everyone toe towards him with his head. "Kill the human." "As long as we kill him, we will win this war without a doubt." "The demon king will definitely reward us greatly." The leader of the demi king demons motivated the other demi king demons and the elite demon generals as he waited for an opportunity to sneak an attack on Ajax. Even though Ajax waspletely surrounded by the powerful elite demon generals and the demi king demons, the leader of the demi king demons felt a bad premonition from Ajax. So, he didn''t want to take any risk and wanted to sneak an attack on Ajax when he got the opportunity. "Aargh" With the motivation from the leader of the demi king demons, all the demons rushing toward Ajax shouted while readying their huge swords. "Hehe...you are alling to your death." Ajax waited until all the scourge demons were within the 10-meter radius and once they were within range, he muttered, "Absolute darkness." ''Aargh'' As soon as he muttered two words, all the elite demon generals and the demi king demons around him fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Except for the leader of the demi king demons who was much more powerful than any other scourge demon in this world except for the demon kings. Moreover, he was quite a distance away from him. ''What? What kind of sorcery is this?'' The leader was shocked when he saw how all the demons fell to the ground while groaning in pain. "I need to kill them as soon as possible." Ajax knew he was able to overpower them with his low-level cultivation only because of the Demonic form and the bloodline. Even though he could keep the bloodline activated for an hour or so, the demonic form could only be activated for 10 minutes. Moreover, even with these two special buffs, he was unable to be powerful enough to kill them with the ''Absolute darkness''. So, he could only use his grade 4 sword dao to start killing the groaning demons on the ground before the demonic form disappears. "Puchi" "Kacha" ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing ten demi king realm demons. ''Ding, Rewards:- 10 spirit points and 10 grade 5 sword dao fragments. While the leader of the demi king demon was still in shock and wondering how Ajax was able to pull out a trick like that, Ajax already killed 10 demi king demons and he didn''t stop there and continued to kill. His main focus was only demi king demons and he didn''t even bother with the elite demon generals because they gave him nothing. ''Shadow clone, retract'' ''Shadoe clone, summon.'' Seeing that this is not effective, he summoned back his shadow clone who was fighting somewhere away from him before summoning beside him. "Kill the elite demon general and absorb all the bodies and shadows." By the time he finished his orders to the shadow clone, the leader of the demi king demons woke up from his shock and became furious. "Everyone, stop attacking them; instead, kill him." He was so furious as he shouted very loudly and directed all the scourge demons to attack Ajax and only Ajax. "No matter what you do, you have already lost." However, Ajax didn''t even bother with the leader of the demi king demons or the iing scourge demons, he continued to kill the demi king demons. It was not that Ajax was arrogant; instead, he was confident in his summons. So, he left everything to his summons while he killed the demi king demons to collect the grade 5 sword dao fragments. Previously, all Ajax''s summons were having an upper hand while fighting against the scourge demons because of theirbined attacks. Spirus'' team was healing the injured elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. Prophis and Halo were in charge of controlling the iing scourge demons'' movement by stopping them for some time or manipting the space around them. The elemental spirits that had the summoning skills summoned their summons and killed the demons. Among all the demons, Blood was the most aggressive one as he had a Blood monster of around 500 meters and a blood demon. 50 percent of the demons were killed by Blood and his servants and the remaining 50 percent was taken care of by the other elemental spirit and the contracted spirit beasts. Also, the father and son duo of the golden bear kings were also more aggressive than the blood; however, their killing efficiency was still less than Blood. These were the statistics before Ajax could activate his bloodline; however, once he activated his bloodline, not only him, even all his summons received the three times boost in their strength. So, there were no demons that were able to rush towards Ajax, making the leader of the demi king demons shocked. ''What kind of kind are you?'' That was the only thought in his head while looking at Ajax. "I am a Human." ''Puchi'' Those were thest words he heard before he got pierced by Ajax''s inheritance sword. Actually, Ajax didn''t finish killing all the demi king demons and the only reason he killed the leader of the demi king demons was that he was a little bit closer to him. With just a single ''teleport'', he directly appeared in front of the demon before piercing his sword. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a special triple attribute scourge demon. ''Ding, Rewards- 100 spirit points, A perfect grade 5 sword dao rune. Note:- Refine the body of this special demon in the universal furnace. ''What? A percent grade 5 sword dao rune?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment before bing excited and thought, ''No wonder, war is the only way to gain bountiful resources.'' Even though there was a certain risk, the reward from taking that risk is equivalent. "I will just kill them all before checking the rewards." Soon, Ajax went back to his work of killing the groaning demons who were rolling on the ground. ''Huh? It looks like the master has used his bloodline to boost everyone''s skills. Damn it...now, those four elemental spirits will not need my help.'' While flying back, the twilight dragon sensed his battle prowess was increasing and thought about Ajax''s bloodline. At the same time, he shook his head in disappointment because he knew that no one needed his help anymore. "I will just vent my anger on these demons." Soon, the scourge demons on the ground became a tool to vent the divine dragon''s anger. He didn''t use the ''Divine destruction cannon'' because it would leave nothing for him to consume. So, he casuallynded on the ground and started killing them while consuming them with fury in his eyes. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 450 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1047: Scourge demon world:- Conquered

Chapter 1047: Scourge demon world:- Conquered

A few moments prior to Ajax activating his bloodline. ''Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids and Celestial fire realm'' ''Dark region elementalw'' ''Lightning fire'' The three elemental spirits, Voolcanis, Zen, and Ignis activated their level 1 elementalws. There was another elemental spirit fighting the fire scourge demon king head-on with an eerie smile on his face. Until now, it was Necros who controlled the fire demon king with his undead summons, who didn''tst for much time. So, he could only demerge them and enter into the invincible mode and fight the fire demon king head-on while the other elemental spirits attack with their powerful skills after activating their elemental spirits. ''Only if I have an elemental spirit, I would have taken down this bastard myself.'' Even though the fire demon king was unable to injure Necros, he was unable to injure the fire demon king too. Only the attacks of the three elemental spirits who had activated their elementalws were able to make some injuries on the fire demon king. So, Necros could not help but curse his low-attacking power. Necros is a summoning type elemental spirit that summons undead creatures and doesn''t have much attacking power on his own. "Swoosh" All of a sudden, the four elemental spirits that were fighting the fire demon king felt their powerful rise magically. "Everyone, Master had activated his bloodline. Let''s take down this bastard." There was only one reason why their battle prowess would magically increase and it was because of their master''s bloodline. So, Volcanis shouted at the other three elemental spirits. "Let''s use the skill rted to our elementalws." Zen agreed with Volcanis as he shouted back before moving towards the fire demon king''s back. The thing is they were waiting for the boost from their master and once they got it, everyone knew what they had to do. That''s the reason why they didn''t use the skills rted to the elementalws because they knew they would get only one chance and if they failed, they had to take the help of the dragon which, of course, they didn''t want. "Elementalw''s skill:- Dark prison" Zen used his skill first because it was good to immobilize someone in a fixed position. As soon as he used that skill, the fire demon king''s own shadow started melting beforeing out of the ground and imprisoned him in a cage. ''I will hold him. You attack him.'' Necros tightly held the fire demon king fearing the dark prison might not stop the demon king. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroids." "Celestial engulfer." "Annihtion." As soon as the fire demon king was imprisoned, Volcanis and Ignis used their powerful skills rted to the elementalws. They knew that Zen''s dark prison would not hold the fire demon king for more than a couple of seconds. So, before the fire demon king knew what was going on, many flying swords, floating asteroids, a dark red-coloured me, and a me that had lightning sparks in it, rushed towards him andnded on him at the same time. ''Boom'' Soon, a huge explosion covered the entire area andpletely filled with smoke and dust. ''Hehe...well done.'' Amidst the smoke, Necros'' eerie voice could be heard as he walked out of the smoke. In front of him, an old dark ck-colored book was hovering. "Did you catch his soul?" Seeing the hovering book in front of Necros, Volcanis'' eyes lit up as he excitedly asked Necros. "Hehe...what do you think?" Necros replied in his usual voice while maintaining the same eerie smile. "You got it...congrats." How could Volcanis not know after seeing the eerie smile on Necros''s face? So, he congratted him. The thing is Necros had awakened a skill ''Soul Grimoire'' sometime back. In that soul grimoire he could store the souls of the dead beings after meeting some conditions. Until now, he didn''t catch a single one even though he had ten slots and the first soul he caught was a King realm soul. So, he was no longer bothered with the elementalws anymore. "Summon it and let us see how powerful it is." Volcanis and others were curious and asked Necros to summon the demon king''s soul. "Come out." Necros nodded his head and called the demon''s soul. ''Aargh'' A three-meter transparent fire scourge demon king appeared in front of everyone. "Go and take care of all the scourge demons." While Volcanis and others were curiously looking at the three-meter fire demon, Necros gave amand to the fire demon king''s soul who disappeared from his ce once he received the orders from Necros. Even though the original demon king was very huge, the fire demon king''s soul was only three meters. Nevertheless, its battle prowess wasparable to a King realm as he killed the scourge demons at an incredible speed as though he knew all the weak points of the scourge demons. "Cool." Seeing that, Volcanis and others could not help but praise him. "Okay guys, let''s get back to clearing these scourge demons." Finally, Volcanis stopped watching the demon king''s soul as he suggested everyone continue fighting. The three scourge demon kings were killed by Twilight, Alder, and the four elemental spirits. The three hundred and one demi king demons along with nearly 2000 elite demon generals were killed by Ajax. So, basically, the scourge demons didn''t have any hope of winning against Ajax and his army. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast ''Devourer eagle king'' killed the ''Wind scourge demon king''. ''Ding, The rewards are:- 100 spirit points, Legendary grade Demonic sword (Wind), Wind demon heart. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast "Volcanis, Zen Ignis and Necros" killed the ''Fire scourge demon king''. ''Ding, The rewards are:- 100 spirit points, Legendary grade Demonic sword (Fire), Fire demon heart. As for Ajax, just as he was about to kill thest demi king demon, he received a series of system notifications making him reveal a smile. Ajax was not surprised anymore while seeing the battle prowess of his summons and wanted to push them even more. That''s the only way to increase true battle prowess. "I will check all the items once I go back to the devourer eagle king''s world." Ajax was in quite a good mood today and wanted to kill more. So, he continued to kill. The devourer eagle king also joined in sweeping the low-level scourge demons because there were billions of them in the world. All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were going all out and massacred the demons. It didn''t take much time for Ajax and his summons to clear the entire scourge demon army from the scourge demon world. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully conquering the entire scourge demon world. ''Ding, Please make arrangements before refining the world core as it will be easy for the host to leave the world as soon as possible. Once all the scourge demons were cleared, Ajax got two system notifications that made him heave a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I can increase my cultivation by another minor realm.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he fell to the ground with a slight smile on his face. ***** KingRig, thanks for the Dragon (Two bonus chapters are on their way).

Chapter 1048: [Bonus Chapter]Burning Demon Heart

# Bonus Chapters for Dragon (1/ 2). "Whoever wants to consume these demons, you are free to do it." Even though he conquered the Scourge demon world, he was not in a hurry to refine the world core into his cultivation. Instead, he wanted to make use of all the demons on the ground for his summons. "Yes, master." All the contracted spirit beasts were interested in consuming the demons because that''s how they increase their cultivation and it is called the primitive instinct of the beast. Even Necros joined them because he had the ''Devour'' skill and could make use of it to increase his cultivation. "Except for the three demon kings and that three-colour demi king demon, everything is yours." How could he not make use of those four bodies to the best when he had the Universal furnace on the back of the Arcane Green turtle. ''Come out.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned the huge green turtle out of his inner world. "Blood, ask your blood monster to throw one of the demon king''s bodies into its furnace." Seeing that the blood elemental spirit''s blood monster was 500 meters, Ajax asked him to do that work. Nodding his head, Blood gave themand to his blood monster that was busy absorbing the ck blood from the dead demons. ''Ding, Do you want to refine the Fire scourge demon king''s body? Just as the huge blood monster tossed the demon king''s body into the furnace, Ajax got the system notification. ''Yes.'' After his confirmation, the refining started inside the universal furnace on the back of the Arcane green spirit turtle. ''Because of the Sacred Pool, the Universal refining skill of the little green upgraded and it changed from original three times refinement per month to 10 times per month.'' Ajax was very d for following the system''s suggestion to enter the Sacred Pool, it not only helped his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts but it also helped him increase the grade of the ''Tree of blessing'', and also give new energy called ''Sacred Energy'' with that, he was able to merge the Astral Energy and the Sacred energy into Sacred Astral Energy. So, he was more than satisfied with the benefits he got from the Sacred Pool. ''Ding, The fire scourge demon king''s body is refined. ''Ding, The host got a ''burning demon heart'' from the refinement which was added to his inventory. While he was thinking about the Sacred Pool which helped him a lot, the green turtle finished the refinement of the fire demon king''s body as Ajax got the system notifications informing him about it. "Can you put the next body too?" Ajax gave the same order while he took out a fiery red stone and inside it, there was a red-coloured heart that was beating rapidly. ''Ding, Item name:- Burning demon heart. Grade:- Legend Effect:- An item that helps the beings with fire affinity in temporarily rising their cultivation to the low-level king realm. Usage:- By consuming this heart, the consumer''s heart transforms into a Burning demon heart and makes use of the effect. Note:- 1) It can only be used once every three months. 2) 90 percent of humans who consumed this heart have died. Without wasting any time, Ajax checked the information on the ''Burning demon heart'' in his hands while the water demon king''s body was being refined. ''What? This thing can help fire affinity beings enter the king realm every three months?'' Ajax''s hands shook a little after reading theplete information about the ''Burning demon heart''. It was a good item that could be very useful below the King realm. ''Since it will take quite some time for Volcanis, Ignis, ck kitty, or Red kitty to enter the King realm, I think I can give it to one of them.'' Ajax didn''t think of using it for himself after seeing the second note on the holographic screen. ''I will think about it after going back.'' Ajax didn''t want to stress his brain too much with whom he should give it; instead, he was waiting for foor the second refinement to be over soon. ''Ding, The water scourge demon king''s body is refined. ''Ding, The host got an ''Aqua demon heart'' from the refinement which was added to his inventory. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows as he became curious and directly opened the information of the second heart. ''Ding, Item name:- Aqua demon heart. Grade:- Legend Effect:- An item that helps the beings with water affinity in temporarily rising their cultivation to the low-level king realm. Usage:- By consuming this heart, the consumer''s heart transforms into an Aqua demon heart and makes use of the effect. Note:- 1) It can only be used once every three months. 2) 90 percent of humans who consumed this heart have died. ''What? It is the same as the earlier one except for the change in the element affinity.'' Ajax was excited and he looked at the two crystal hearts in his hands. ''If my guess is not wrong, then thest one will be rted to the wind affinity beings.'' The blood monster had already tossed thest demon king''s body into the furnace as Ajax muttered to himself. ''Ding, The wind scourge demon king''s body is refined. ''Ding, The host got a ''Bizzare demon heart'' from the refinement which was added to his inventory. Soon, after around 10 minutes, Ajax got the familiar system notification and as expected it was rted to the wind affinity. ''With these items, I can get three King realm cultivators and can use them in emergency situations.'' Once he gave these three hearts to three of his summons, then everyone, he would get three additional King realm cultivators. Then, he didn''t have to worry about unexpected situations while invading the evil smaller worlds. Ajax became excited as he stored them while looking at his surroundings where the spirit beasts and some of the elemental spirits were still using the demon dead bodies to increase their cultivation. There are nearly 30 billion demons in this world and of course, it will take a lot of time for them to clear. ''Anyway, I still have one more demon body to refine. I hope it gives something good because of its rarity.'' Ajax looked at the three-coloured demi king demon''s body and muttered to himself. Even though that demon was not as powerful as the demon kings, he was a very rare type of demon. Just like how the three elemental summoners are rare, this three elemental demon is also rare. So, he hoped for something good from it. With that thought in his mind, Ajax tossed the dead body of the leader of the demi king demons into the universal furnace. Since there were so many refinement tires left for him this month, Ajax was not hesitating in using them all in a single go because he had the good stuff in his hands to refine. ''Ding, Refining of the three attributed special demon is started. Please wait for an hour. ''What? Wait for an hour?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw that system notification and it piqued his curiosity. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets.

# Bonus Chapters for Dragon (2/ 2) When he refined the bodies of the three demon kings, it took around 10 minutes or so for each body. However, this special demi king demon body required one hour to refine making Ajax think of various possibilities. ''Looks like I might get a good item.'' Ajax was excited about the item he would get after one hour and looking forward to it. ''Since there is one more hour to waste, I will check the rewards I got from killing these scourge demons.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system in his head, ''System, show me the rewards I got.'' ''Ding, The rewards from all the killing are:- 1) 1000 spirit points. 2) Three legend grade demonic swords of Fire, Water, and Wind attribute. 3) Three demon hearts (Fire, Water, and Wind) 4) 300 grade 5 sword dao fragments and a perfect grade 5 sword dao rune. The system showed all the rewards he gained from the killing he and his elemental spirits had done. ''Are these demon hearts different from the demon hearts I gained from refining the demon king''s body?'' Ajax''s eyes first fell on the three demons'' hearts and focused on them to learn about it. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire demon''s heart. Type:- Ingredients. Usage:- It is used in the refinement of a rank 7 pill ''Advanced Berserker''s Pill'' that can temporarily boost the consumer''s cultivation to the peak king realm. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised after seeing the usage of the fire demon''s heart. However, currently, I only have the knowledge of rank 6 alchemy. ''Looks like I need to be stronger and open the summoner''s grimoire to learn the rank 7 alchemy knowledge and be a true rank 7 alchemy master.'' Ajax stored the fire demon''s heart and looked at the other two demon hearts. ''Water demon''s heart is used for the rank 7 pill called ''Advanced Regenerating Pill'' that can regenerate any part of their body.'' ''Wind demon''s heart is used for the refinement of a rank 7 pill called ''Advanced Agility Pill'' that can give an insane attacking speed for the consumer.'' After checking the other two items, Ajax was hoping to be stronger as soon as possible. So that he could open the summoner''s grimoire. A rank 7 alchemist is also known as King Alchemist and a King alchemist will be greatly respected by everyone even in the greater world. As long as he entered a greater world and announced himself as a King alchemist, he would be offered a high-level position in their organizations and sects. Moreover, Ajax was just a 16-year-old young man and had a great potential to break the Alchemy King realm into the Alchemy Emperor realm. So, it was another thing Ajax was looking forward to seeing; however, it was still in the future. ''Next, let''s check about the swords.'' After keeping the three demon''s hearts in his inventory, he focused on the swords he got from killing the three demon kings. They were not regr swords. They were legendary grade demonic swords. So, he decided to check whether there was anything good about them for him to use those swords. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire demonic sword. Grade:- Legendary. Effect:- 1) Induces aplete fear into the general realm and below realm fire demons and makes them unable to fight. 2) 50 percent of battle prowess will be reduced or increased for the fire demons in the elite demon general realm depending on the sword holder''s wish. 3) 10 percent chance to stun a demon king for three seconds. Description:- A sword that makes the demons fear and the one who has this sword could control them on one condition and that is, they have to be a demon. ''Even though it didn''t have any skills, these effects are enough for me to make the demons shiver.'' Ajax felt today had to be his lucky day that he was getting more and more good stuff. ''Also, who cares about subduing them? I will just kill them all.'' If Ajax ever wanted to have a full-sized army, he would go make the spirit beasts as their follower; however, demons are just like humans, they were like a ticking time bomb. Moreover, Ajax didn''t have any interest in subduing them. ''I think the other two swords will have the same effects.'' After checking the previous items which have the same effects but for different elements, Ajax could easily guess it. Nevertheless, he decided to check it and confirmed that the other two legendary demonic swords have the same effects. However, they were used to control the water and wind type of demons. "Now, the final item and it is sword dao fragments." Soon, he came to thest item, and since he already knew about the sword dao fragments, he didn''t bother to check them. Instead, he ordered the system, ''System, give me the perfect grade 5 sword dao rune.'' As soon as he asked, a small silver-coloured metal appeared in front of him with mysterious sword strikes. ''Ding, The host met the pre-requisite of the grade 5 sword dao usage. ''Ding, Do you want to use it? Just as it appeared, Ajax got the system notifications asking him whether he wanted to use the rune. "Yes." Without any hesitation, Ajax nodded his head. He already knew what the pre-requisite was and it was having a grade 4 sword dao. Since Ajax was already a grade 4 swordmaster, he could use the grade 5 sword dao rune without any difficulty. ''Ding, Please endure the pain if any. Soon, the grade 5 sword dao rune in his hands started melting into his hands and the mysterious sword stroke on them started flowing out before entering into his head. ''Aargh'' Soon, the pain started in his head and in his hands. The pain in his hands started moving towards his army, shoulders, chest and within a matter of seconds, his entire body was in pain that he had never endured. If not for the increase in his strength, he would have instantly copsed. ''I need to stay conscious. I should not sleep.'' Currently, he was barely hanging onto his consciousness fearing that if he closed his eyes, he would close his eyes forever. All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts stopped doing what they were doing and rushed towards their master whose entire body was covered in veins bulging around his arms. ''I need to help, master.'' Gloria who was rxing in the inner world was connected to Ajax through the Tree of blessing''s energy storage which was linked with Ajax''s Sacred Astral Space. So, she sensed something was not right and hurriedly contacted Ajax who didn''t give any reply. ''Looks like he is in pain, I need to grow this tree to provide him some help.'' Gloria hesitated for a while; however, seeing that Ajax was in so much, she could not hold back and used her soul power to forcefully grow the tree of blessing. Soon, the ''Tree of blessing'' started growing at an incredible speed. **** As promised, the author released two bonus chapters for the DRAGON GIFT.

Chapter 1050: Special Demonic Beast Eggs

Some kind of mysterious energy flew out of Gloria as it entered into the ''Tree of blessing'' and the tree started growing at an incredible speed. With time, the growing speed of the ''Tree of blessing'' started decreasing and at the same time, Gloria''s face became pale. ''Thud'' Finally, Gloria fell to the ground muttering, ''This will help the master with the pain.'' As soon as she finished her words, she lost consciousness; however, the tree of blessing took Gloria into the tree and started giving back the same energy that Gloria gave it to the tree. However, it was much slower and it would take at least a couple of years to just send back the energy Gloria sent to the tree for the rapid growth of the tree. Other than the growth of the tree of blessing in height and width, there was a new green branch beside the purple coloured branch that produces Astral Energy. ''Ding, The tree of blessing unlocked a special branch ''Pain transfer branch''. ''Ding, Transferring 50 percent of the host''s pain to the branch. Just after the appearance of the new green branch on the ''Tree of blessing'', Ajax got a couple of system notifications; however, he was barely able to hold onto his consciousness. So, he was unable to check them out. ''Phew'' Soon, he started sensing that the pain in his body started decreasing making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. However, the new green branch of the ''Tree of blessing'' started bing yellow and with a look, anyone could say that the branch will be dried in a couple of minutes. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t have a clue about it and he still was thinking that pain was starting to decrease. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully condensing a grade 5 sword dao. Just when the new branch was about to dry uppletely, Ajax received a system notification that he was waiting for a while now. ''Finally, I learned it.'' Ajax''s head was not filled with the grade 5 sword dao making him excited; however, he was not in a position to wake up as he feltpletely tired. "Everyone, I am fine. I am going to rest for a while." He knew his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were all worried about him. So, he gave rity that he was perfectly alright before resting for a while. He didn''t check the grade 5 sword dao or anything else. All he wanted to do right now was resting. .... Somewhere in the space outside the Scourge demon world. There were three Primordial demons who looked just like humans except for their red eyes with ck eyeballs. Moreover, their bodies were muscr as they fell on a huge leaf. Two of them were around three meters in height and one of them was two meters in height. "Do you think the divine dragon is around his region?" "We are in theplete outer region. It is?impossible for the worlds from this region to give birth to a dragon much less to a divine dragon." While traveling, the two primordial demons nagged at the smaller primordial demon. "Shut up. I am in charge of this group and whatever I say, you two will follow." The two-meter primordial demon released his pressure as he warned the other two demons. "Yes, captain." Even though all three of them were in the king realm, the two demons were scared and hurriedly nodded their heads. "Good." The two-meter primordial demon nodded his head as he exined, "A few hours ago, I sensed a ''Demon''s prey'' curse and the aura of a divine dragon for a moment. So, it is better for us to check it." "We will do as you say, Captain." The two primordial demons continued to nod their heads like chicks. ..... ''Ding, The refinement of the special three attributed demon has beenpleted. ''Ding, The host got the three special demonic beast eggs. Ajax, who was resting on the ground for a while, woke up when he got the system notifications. ''Hmm...the refinement has beenpleted?'' As though he got some new energy into his body, he opened his eyes widely when he saw the first system notification. ''What the hell?'' However, when he saw the second system notification, he could not help but curse. ''System, you know that I hate demonic beasts, right?'' Deep down, Ajax hated the demons to his core, and that goes the same for the demonic beasts and now the body of a demi king demon refined into three demonic beast eggs. Just like how spirit beasts exist in the human world, there are demonic beasts in the demon worlds; however,pared to the spirit beast, these demonic beasts are just killing machines. They will kill friend and foe without any hesitation. That is the reason why there were no demonic beasts in the scourge demon world or bronze demon world because they would be ughtered if they were sighted without any hesitation. So, when he saw the refinement end product, Ajax was greatly disappointed. ''Ding, The host can either destroy them or keep them because they will be a good asset for him because they were not regr demonic beast eggs; instead, they were special demonic beast eggs. ''Huh? Special? In what sense?'' Ajax frowned after reading the system notification before asking the system about it. ''Ding, The demonic beasts thate from these eggs will have intelligence and as long as anyone other than demons drops their blood, they can control their urge to randomly kill. So, better think about it before destroying them. ''Huh? They can maintain their intelligence?'' Ajax''s hatred towards the special demonic eggs decreased; however, it didn''t gopletely. ''Let me see them, first.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned the three eggs which have red, blue, and azure coloured dots on them with a grey background. "Master, are you going to reward me with these eggs?" The twilight dragon which was very far and busy consuming the scourge demons hurriedly flew towards Ajax as he asked Ajax. "Go and eat those demons. These are not for eating." Ajax seriously looked at the twilight dragon and the dragon did the same for a while before saying, "Fine...I will go." After saying that, the dragon flew away without making any fuss. ''Ding, Item:- Special demonic beast eggs. Information:- It will be essed only when the eggs are hatched. ''What the hell? Even the system is not telling what type of demonic beasts are there in these three eggs.'' Ajax became a little annoyed as he thought, ''Since the system is saying that they have the intelligence and not mindless creatures,?I think I will just drop my blood on them.'' Looking at the three special demonic beast eggs on the ground, Ajax made up his mind. Since he was already able to control the divine destruction twilight dragon who acts crazy sometimes, he thought three more little buddies would not be a big problem. With that thought in his mind, he cut his palm and dropped more than five drops of blood on each one of them. Soon, they started shining with bright lights as though they were about to hatch. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets. . Chapter 1051: Absolute digestion

Chapter 1051: Absolute digestion

''Kacha'' After absorbing Ajax''s blood, the three special demonic beast eggs shone brightly before a crisp sound came from one of them. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Soon, the cracks started spreading like webs before a small w came out of a red-dotted egg. Simrly, the other two demonic beasts tried their best toe out of the egg and after struggling for a few minutes, they finally came out. ''Is this a demonized version of Roc?'' Among the three newborn demonic beasts, Ajax was able to recognize one of them. Roc is a legedary flying type of spirit beast that can be on par with a dragon; however, they were extinct a few thousands of years ago, making them even more valuable than divine dragons. ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- Hybrid vulture. Strength:- Rank 1 Skills:- Absolute digestion. Absolute digestion:- It can digest anything within an hour. ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- Two-winged demonic snake. Strength:- Rank 1 Skills:- Absolute digestion. ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- Darkfire Jaguar. Strength:- Rank 1 Skills:- Absolute digestion. Soon, the basic information of the three demonic beasts appeared in front of him. ''Absolute digestion? Looks like three more gluttons are added to my team.'' Ajax shook his head and looked at the Hybrid vulture. No matter how he looked at it, it resembled a little like roc. So, Ajax wondered whether it had a possibility to be a legendary roc. While he was in his thoughts, the three little demonic beasts looked at Ajax with their intelligent eyes that showed no killing intent or hatred. Generally, a demonic beast''s eyes were filled with endless killing intent and hatred; however, Ajax could say that from looking at their eyes. Except for their appearance looked a little demonic, they were just like any other spirit beast. ''They look cute. I doubt they will remain that cuteness forever.'' Ajax knew that they only looked cute because of their small size and once they start growing, they will no longer be cute; instead, they will be filled with ferocity. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the three little demonic beasts rushed towards Ajax as though they sensed something from Ajax that''s making them stay close to him. The little hybrid vulture flew with much difficulty andnded on Ajax''s shoulder and rubbed itself to Ajax''s face. The little two-winged demonic snake climbed onto Ajax and wrapped around Ajax''s left wrist. As for the little dark fire jaguar, it circled around Ajax while looking at the other two little demonic beasts; however, it was unable to climb onto Ajax. Finally, it stopped trying to climb Ajax; instead, rubbed its head against Ajax''s leg. ''Its actions are cute too.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and thought, ''Maybe, these little demonic beasts might not be as bad as I think they are.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax picked up the dark-stopped dark fire jaguar from the ground and caressed it. ''Pur'' It purred a little as though it was enjoying the caress. ''These three didn''t go to eat the demons'' dead bodies; instead, they came for me. From this, it is very clear that they are not mindless beasts.'' Finally, Ajax had a good opinion on the three little demonic beasts and asked them to consume the dead demons around them. ''Swoosh'' As though they understood what he had, all three demonic beasts nodded their heads and rushed towards their first meal. ''After going back, I will give them special spirit beast food. I hope it will have the same effect on them as the spirit beasts.'' Ajax thought about it; however, somewhere in his heart, he felt ''what if it didn''t have any result on these three little ones?'' ''Ding, There is no need to worry about it, host. As long as it is a beast, the special spirit beast food has more or less the same effect. ''Phew'' With the sudden system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the three little demon beasts who finished consuming a general realm scourge demon''s body and rushed towards Ajax before sleeping in front of him. ''Looks like they will digest it before starting the eating again.'' Ajax nodded his head and asked Volcanis and other elemental spirits, "Collect 1000 general realm demon bodies,100 elite demon general bodies, and three demi king demon bodies." "Yes, summoning master." Volcanis and others nodded their heads as they understood why their master wanted to collect them and it was for the sake of the three little demonic beasts. ''This must be enough for them until I start the next invasion.'' Since the devourer eagle king has already used the skill ''World connector'', he had to wait for a month before he could use that skill once again. Until then, Ajax would feed the three little demonic beasts with those bodies. Even though it seemed too many bodies for the three little demonic beasts to consume, it was not. Because all three beasts have ''Absolute digestion'' skills and they can eat every hour. ''System, fuse the 300 grade 5 sword dao fragments into three grade 5 sword dao runes.'' Once he settled the meals for the little demonic beasts, Ajax asked the system to fuse the sword dao fragments. ''Ding, 100 grade 5 sword dao fragments are not sessfully fused into a grade 5 sword dao rune. ''Ding, 100 grade 5 sword dao fragments sessfully fused into a grade 5 sword dao rune. ''Ding, 100 grade 5 sword dao fragments sessfully fused into a grade 5 sword dao rune. Soon, he got the three system notifications, among which two were sessfully fused and one was failed. ''Oh. Thankfully I killed all the demi king demons myself.'' Ajax felt good about getting two grade 5 sword dao runes and he thought, ''I can give one to Darbaudr and as for the other, Captain Edmond can use it, I guess. I will see.'' Ajax had already decided to whom he should give one grade 5 sword dao rune; however, for the other one, there were a few closed ones he could give. So, he didn''t think much about the second sword dao rune. ''Let''s see whether there was any specialty in grade 5 sword dao.'' Since he had already learned the sword, Ajax checked it; however, there was nothing unexpected. It improved his fastest and attacking power to five times. Also, he could condense a sword wave that was as big as 50 meters in width which could travel 50 meters away from him. ''With these grade 5 sword dao, I can kill the elite general realm cultivators who learn a level 1 cultivator''sw without using my bloodline or demonic form.'' Ajax was very confident in what he just thought as he was looking forward to more battles in the future to push his limits. Ajax thought in his head as he looked at his summons for a moment. The contracted spirit beasts and the 10? devourer eagle generals were busy munching on the demon dead bodies without any rest. Even the devourer eagle king was consuming because he wanted to increase his cultivation even more along with his bestial soul. Most of the elemental spirits werezing around while some of them joined the spirit beasts to consume. ''It is time to increase my cultivation.'' **** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets (Guys, you can do it). Chapter 1052: [Bonus Chapter]Level 4 General Realm

Chapter 1052: [Bonus Chapter]Level 4 General Realm

''Everyone, be ready to jump into the portal.'' Ajax briefly informed what he was going to do and asked them to enter the portal as soon as he gave the signal. Because of the ''Demon''s prey'' curse, they didn''t move much far from the portal and it was within the range. So, Ajax didn''t bother to send his elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts. With a thought, his spirit consciousness entered into a mysterious realm of the world. ''I still wonder how I can enter this special realm. Is it because of the system or is it because I conquered it?'' Ajax didn''t have the slightest clue regarding it; however, he didn''t care much about it as he just wanted to increase his cultivation first before leaving this demon world. ''There it is.'' Ajax didn''t have to search for much time before finding the world core which was floating in the mid-air. Compared to the previous world core, this world core was a little bigger and has three colours on it. ''I just need to touch it and the system will take care of it.'' With a thought, he floated towards the world core and without any hesitation, he touched it. ''Ding, The system detected a special smaller world core. Do you want to refine it into your cultivation? Just like before, he got the system notification and without thinking much, he nodded his head. ''Aargh'' He felt a little pain for a moment andpared to the previous world core refinement, this pain was very less. ''For a special world core, the pain is surprisingly less.'' Ajax thought to himself as he focused on his spirit consciousness which already has three golden cores and a fourth one was slowly forming. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the special smaller world core. ''Ding, Your cultivation has risen to level 4 general realm. Soon, he got the system notifications he was expecting; however, he frowned because he was expecting something special. Since the world core is special, he was expecting maybe he would get an additional minor level or a skill or something. ''Maybe, I am all used to the system''s pampering with the special items and keep on expecting it.'' However, after thinking about it, he just shook his head with a forced smile. "Anyway, I have to leave this world soon." Even though he didn''t get the system notification, Ajax knew this scourge demon world won''tst for much longer after taking out the world core. So, without any hesitation, Ajax stood up and shouted, "Everyone, let''s go." He summoned back the Arcane green spirit turtle into his inner world before rushing towards the portal. ''Rumble'' Amidst their running, the ground beneath their feet started rumbling; however, it was not a difficult thing for them to run. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Within no time, everyone made it back to the devourer eagle king''s world in one piece. "Summoning master, we are having a lot of fun these days." "Yes, master. We can finally use our cultivation for something." "Me too." "Thank you, master." Soon, all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits started thanking Ajax. "Haha...you sure do love battles." Ajax gave a littleugh as he shook his head; however, he was not disapproving of their behavior. In this world, only people with no cultivation or strength will not like it. As long as someone has some power, be it only a soldier realm cultivation, he would not back off from a fight unless he felt it was a confirmed death. "So, how about the next world invasion? Do you want it?" Ajax asked them with a smile as he checked for their expression. Even though they were tired, they would dly join the fight for their master as they already knew their master would not put them at unnecessary risk. "So, get ready for it. Exactly after 30 days, we will invade a new world. Until then, everyone needs to rest and get back to your peak form." Ajax gave a break of one month because the devourer eagle king could only open a portal after 30 days. Moreover, during this period, all his summons could digest everything they learned during the earlier battle. "During these 30 days, you can either go back into the inner world or just stay here. Your wish." Ajax also gave them another choice and without any hesitation, everyone chose to stay outside. Even though they could simply rest in the elemental paradise to increase their cultivation by doing nothing, they still prefer to stay outside. "Good." Ajax didn''t bother them anymore as he selected the devourer eagle king''s house to rest for the next 30 days. Alder''s house was a big castle and ording to Alder, that big castle was built by their ancestors who know where they went now. ..... In the endless space. "Boom" A few hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the scourge demon world, the three primordial demons were flying on a magical leaf and saw a huge explosion in the ce where there used to be a scourge demon world. "What is that?" "Who dares to destroy the world under my region ofmand." The two-meter primordial demon cursed as he looked at the debris after the explosion of the scourge demon world from a few hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. He was one of the five demon kings under the Primordial demon emperor that took care of one of the five regions. As for the two other demon kings behind him, they are his underlings who take care of these worlds. Because of the Primordial demon emperor''s orders, he was simply doing some rounds; however, for a brief moment, he was able to sense the presence of the ''Demon''s prey'' curse. So, he directed his peak legend grade artifact to fly towards the outer circle of his region. However, after flying for an hour, he and his two underlings got to see the destruction of one of the worlds that were under his control. "Whoever you are, I will not let you get away after destroying one of my worlds." Igunuz, the demon king who was in charge of this region clenched his fists and used his demonic energy to control the magical leaf beneath his feet to rush faster towards the debris of the scourge demon world. ''Even if we go at our fastest speed, it will take at least a couple of days to reach there.'' ''Also, how is he going to find the one who did it?'' ''Who knows and who cares. It is his problem but let''s act, we care about it.'' ''Yes, brother. Just like we always do...Hehe.'' While Igunuz was rushing his magical leaf, his two underlings silently transmitted their voices to one another. ''Damn you, bastards.'' Igunuz could hear the voice transmissions which was, of course, his two underlings didn''t have a clue; however, he didn''t kill them as it was not their first time talking behind his back. ''If any of you are wondering how I am going to find the one who did it, you will know soon.'' Igunuz muttered to himself as he continued to fly towards the debris at his fastest speed. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets. or you can just gift.

Chapter 1053: Rank 4 Demonic beasts

There was a reason why he kept those two as his underlings and it was that they would not hesitate to do anything he asked them to do. Basically, they were ves; however, he was still unable to control the way they speak about him. ...¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh three days passed. "Master, now tell us how we are going to find the one who did this." It took Igunuz and his two underlings three days to reach the ce where the scourge demon used to stay. ''Damn it...what should I answer the emperor about ?'' ''The worlds from this outer circle, the Scourge demon world, is one of four worlds that gives the highest tribute for my region.'' ''Also, there is a special demon in this world whom I am nning to take under my wing once he bes a demon king.'' ''Now, everything goes to shit...Aargh'' Unlike his underlings, Igunuz lost his cool by the time he reached the scourge demon world. "You want to know how I will find out about him, right?" Suppressing his anger, Igunuz looked at his two underlings and said, "With the help of you two." "We?" The underlings became curious as they waited for Igunuz toplete his words. "One of you will go to the Hellish ogre world and another one will go the Storm werewolf king world" With an eerie smile on his face, Igunuz replied to them as he continued, "Since you are close with the Kings of those two worlds, you two will go and search those worlds." "Sure, master." Even though they nodded their heads, they were pretty much shaken because the reason why they were able to be the ves of Igunuz was because of the Kings from their world. They had their worst nightmares and now, their master is sending them to their nightmares; however, they didn''t have the luxury of saying ''No'' to their master. "Master, can we know why you are sure that he might be in those two worlds?" One of the underlings asked after mustering his courage. "Since he destroyed the highest tribute-giving world from the outer region, he might attack other worlds too." Even though it seemed like he was just torturing his underlings, he was in fact sending them to those two worlds because he felt the one who destroyed the Scourge demon world might target the others worlds in his region. "Take out your low-level legendary leaf artifacts and go now." After giving his reason for sending them to those worlds, Igunuz urged them to leave. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the two demon kings went in two separate directions on their mini-sized leaf artifacts. "Not only they can inform me if something unusual happens in those worlds, but they can also enjoy their time there...hehe." Looking at their silhouettes, Igunuz could not help butugh; however, whenever he saw the debris of Scourge demon world, he could not help but curse Ajax. ''There is a possibility of him going to the Obsidian naga world too; however, if he goes to other worlds, I can''t reach the other worlds in time.'' Igunuz didn''t have the ability or artifact that could instantly go through the worlds and only the emperor-level beings would have that kind of power. ''I will just stay in the center of the three worlds.'' Finally, he decided to stay at the center of Obsidian naga world, Hellish ogre world, and Storm werewolf king world. .... Time continued to pass and in a sh 27 days passed by. In the devourer eagle king''s world. It''s been almost 30 days since Ajax destroyed the Scourge demon world. "You grew so much in just a single month, little ones." Currently, Ajax was inside the ancient castle as he looked at the three demonic beasts in front of him that were ying with one other. The dark fire jaguar had grown from a less than 10 centimeters-height cub to one meter Jaguar. Its dark ck spots became pitch ck and asionally they would shine. The two-winged serpent had be a four-winged serpent with a body length of three meters. As for the hybrid vulture, its growth was directly towards the legendary spirit beast Roc as it currently had a wingspan of 2 meters. All three of them had the same cultivation of rank 4 because all three of them used the same skill ''Absolute digestion'' to absorb the energy from the dead demon bodies collected by Volcanis and others. "Bane, what do you think? Will they break into rank 5 after consuming the dead body of the demi king demon?" Besides Ajax, there was a poison elemental spirit in the room who was observing the three demonic beasts y with one another. "They will definitely break through to the mid-level rank 5 realm." Bane nodded his head with a face full of confidence and whenever he looked at the three demonic beasts, Bane would have a tender look which was definitely not a suitable look for him. As for the reason why he cared about the three little demonic beasts, it was because he was the one who managed their meals for the past 30 days. From time to time, he would y with them and take care of them. So, he was confident about their breakthrough as he replied to Ajax. During the past 30 days, the three little demonic beasts consumed 100 elite demon generals, 1000 demon generals like gluttons, and they were left with only three demi king demons. So, Ajax wanted to feed them their meal before starting his invasion n. "Let''s see." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face as he ordered Bane, "You can feed them now." "Sure." Soon, Bane summoned three demi king demon dead bodies from his space ring and gave one body for one demonic beast. ''It''s a pity that these little ones are not eating the special spirit beast food.'' Looking at the three demonic beasts that were munching on their delicious meal, Ajax muttered to himself. Even though the system had given the green signal for him to give the special spirit beast food to the three little demonic beasts, they were not eating no matter what he did. So, he didn''t bother to force them and continued to feed them their favorite food. "After eating, you three should rest here and digest the energy from the meal. Do you understand?" While they were eating, Ajax said those words to the three little demon beasts. They stopped eating for a moment and nodded their heads at Ajax before going back to their munching session. "Not only are they intelligent, but they will also always listen to us first and then focus on eating. They are not at all simr to the mindless demonic beasts." Seeing their actions, Ajax said those words to Bane who pretty much agreed with Ajax. "Yes, summoning master." Bane nodded his head as he asked with a polite look on his face, "Master, it''s been 30 days..." "So, how about we gather everyone and n for our next invasion?" Finally, Ajax stood up and with a slight smile on his face, he replied to Bane. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1054: Dirt Troll world

Chapter 1054: Dirt Troll world

"Alder, open the portal to the Dirt troll world." After assembling all his summons, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king to open the portal to the Dirt troll word. Dirt troll world is a smaller world that is normally a little more powerful than the Bronze demon world but weaker than the Scourge demon world. At least that''s what he thought because even if there were one or two more King realm dirt trolls in that world, Ajax knew he could take them Even though Ajax has the confidence in conquering an entire smaller world without any problem, he didn''t want to take the risk of invading the smaller worlds that were more or less as strong as the Scourge demon world. However, unexpectedly there were three demon kings in the Scourge demon worlds. So, Ajax didn''t want to take any chances of those unexpected situations anymore for now. Also, there was another reason, he chose the smaller world that has the same battle force as that of the Bronze demon world and it was he wanted to push the limits of his summons. That''s right! He wanted to push the limits of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts by not activating his bloodline and asked them to not activate their elemental and bestialws if possible. Or, he could just ask the devourer eagle king and the divine destructive twilight dragon to sit this one and let other summons take care of the dirt troll world. ''Only by pushing one''s limits, one evolves.'' Ajax still remembered the quote from Elder Baron''s stories. At that time, he was just a kid and didn''t think much about it; however, all the situations he was going through had some type of connection as though Elder Baron knew that Ajax would go through some of the simr situations. ''I wonder why Elder Boron was so keen on saying all those stories to me in particr.'' Ajax always had this question; however, he had no way of knowing the answer to his question. So, he stopped thinking about it. "Yes, master." Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king opened the portal to the Dirt troll world. "Everyone, you know the rules for the invasion, right? You need to push your limits and try your best to kill all the dirt trolls without using your elemental or bestialws." Ajax said what he wanted all his summons to do after entering the dirt troll world. "Understood, master." "We will do as you say, summon the master." All the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits understood what their master was trying to do and nodded their heads without any hesitation. "Tempos, Novis, and Red kitty, you should not use your trump card of bing the King realm beings for a short while, at any cost." Ajax looked at the Wind and water elemental spirits along with the inferno cat and seriously said to them. The three hearts, Burning demon heart, Bizarre demon heart and Aqua demon heart to Red kitty, Tempos, and Novis respectively. And, during thest 30 days, they were sessfully able to integrate those hearts with their hearts. ''Among all my summons, these three will take longer to reach the king realm. So, it will be the only way to make the best use of it.'' Ajax had his own reasons for giving those hearts to them. "We will definitely not use it, master." They knew that they could only use those hearts once in three months. So, they nodded their heads. "Volcanis, from now on this will be your sword and it has bane for the demons. So, properly use it." "Damilius, your sword has already been destroyed beyond recognition, you can take this one." "Tempos, this is for you." Soon, he took out three swords that he got from killing the three scourge demon kings and gave them to the fire elemental spirit, Sea Taurus and wind elemental spirit depending on their elemental attributes. Even though these demon king swords are very useful against the demons, they are still legend-grade weapons. So, they will enhance the battle prowess of the user to another level. "It looks like Tempos is very lucky to get both the Bizzare demon heart and the demon king''s sword." Ajax joked with a slight smile on his face and shouted, "Are you ready to have fun?" "Yes" All the summons shouted in unison and since they were in the middle of the barren mountains, it was resounded multiple times. "So, let''s go then." As soon as he said those words, Ajax jumped into the portal and behind him, all his summons followed with faces full of excitement. ...¡­ After twelve hours, In the dirt troll world. ''Huf huf'' Ajax was breathing heavily as he looked at a 100-meter huge dirt troll in the distance. "Did we get him?" Ajax asked his summons as he squinted his eyes to check on the dirt troll. During thest twelve hours, Ajax didn''t use his bloodline or demonic form and only used his battle-axe and inheritance sword as he killed hundreds of thousands of the dirt troll king''s underlings. He didn''t even use his ''Advanced spatial des'' because he wanted to feel the pressure and needed to use his new grade 5 sword dao. Every time he swung a sword, without any sword wave, he was able to kill hundreds of dirt trolls, and not to mention, if he used the sword wave of 50 meters, then the death rate of the dirt trolls reached hundreds of thousands. Not only him but all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts except for Devourer eagle king and the divine destructive twilight dragon were also tired. As for the dragon and the eagle, they were a little out of control, so Ajax could not help but send them back into the inner world. During this time, no one had used their elementalws or bestialws; instead, they were fully focused on their skills and formations with one another making them destroy all the dirt trolls in the world except for the Dirt troll king. And that''s the reason why it took them 12 hours; otherwise, it would have finished in less than a couple of hours that included killing the dirt troll king. "Rumble" "Damn you, human." Suddenly, the ground under Ajax and his summons shook a little as everyone heard the dirt troll king''s word. "If I am going to die, then I will let you and your summons die along with me." In the next few moments, the entire world shook a little as the ground beneath them turned muddy and started sucking them into the ground. ''Huh? How did he be so strong all of a sudden?'' This was not the first time that the dirt troll king used this skill ''Mud dune'' where the ground would suck anyone into it. However, previously they were easily able to escape but that was not the case this time. "How do you feel now? Regret? Haha" The dirt troll king startedughing maniacally as though Ajax and summons would be dying along with him. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1055: [Bonus Chapter]Great Earth Armour Law Stone

# Bonus Chapters for Dragon (1/ 2) Currently, Ajax and all his summons except for the devourer eagle king and the twilight dragon got stuck in the mud as it was sucking them into the ground. ''Hm...I can''t use the effects of the ''lightning cloud steps'' because of this mud.'' Ajax was not worried much less regretting entering the dirt troll world. ''Looks like after everything, I still need Alder and Twilight.'' Ajax knew that as long as he summoned any one of them, the dirt troll king could be killed in a single attack; however, he was still racking his brains to find an alternative. "Don''t bother trying to escape this world, I used my core to control this entire world. Even though I will die, I can take you all along with me...Hehe." Seeing that Ajax was still not showing any signs of panic on his face, the dirt troll king frowned and started trying to break Ajax and his summons with his words. ''Ding, The dirt troll world is getting destroyed. Please refine the world core and increase your cultivation. Just as Ajax was thinking for a way without listening to the dirt troll king''s words, he got a system notification that made him startedughing. ''Huh? Why is heughing? Did he turn crazy after getting stuck in my mud dune?'' Seeing Ajax''sugh, the dirt troll king could not help butugh and thought Ajax became crazy. "Okay. ytime is over." All of a sudden, Ajax stoppedughing as he looked at the dirt troll king in the distance and closed his eyes. "What? He said ytime is over and now he is sleeping? Your master is really crazy...Haha." The dirt troll king felt a bad premonition when he heard Ajax''s words and saw the look on his face; however when he saw that Ajax just closed his eyes and didn''t even bother to struggle to get out of the mud anymore. ''Aargh'' Soon, Ajax groaned in pain making the dirt troll king satisfied. ''Ding, The world core of the dirt troll world is sessfully refined by the host. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully reaching the level 5 general realm. As for Ajax, after the pain in his head disappeared, he got two system notifications making him reveal a slight smile. "Everyone, get ready to rush towards the portal when you feel the mud that is sucking you in, bes loose." Ajax didn''t bother to look at the dirt troll king or hide his words anymore as he ordered his summons. "Yes, master." Everyone nodded their heads as they understood what was going to happen because it was their third world destruction. "What? You are going to escape? Dream on, human. The mud on the ground will hold you forever." The dirt troll king was annoyed with Ajax''s confidence as he shouted at Ajax as loudly as possible. "Haha" As for Ajax, it was finally his time tough at the dirt troll king as he exined, "That''s right! Your mud is going to suck us into the ground; however, there should be ground to suck us in, right?" ''Rumble'' As soon as he finished his words, the entire dirt troll world started rumbling as cracks started appearing on the ground making the ground uneven which in turn made the dirt troll king''s mud loosen up Ajax and his summons a little. "Everyone, run now." Still, there is some time left for the entire dirt troll world to be destroyed. So, Ajax didn''t n on sending his summons back into his inner world now; instead, he asked them to run towards the portal. "I am not letting you go that easily." The dirt troll king had used his own life core even though it would kill him, he wanted to stop Ajax and his summons at any cost. So, why would he let them go now? Without any hesitation, the dirt troll king jumped at Ajax with his 100-meter huge body. "That''s not going to happen and the one who is going to die today is you." ''sh'' ''Mountain Splitting sword technique.'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax shed his inheritance sword at the iing dir troll king and released a special sword wave that was much bigger than the 50 meters sword wave. Generally, as long as Ajax used his sword dao to swing his sword, he would create a 50 meters sword wave; however, with the help of the special sword skill, the sword wave was much bigger and the power that was contained inside it also became bigger. ''Kacha'' Since the dirt troll king was in mid-air and he didn''t have much speed, to begin with, it was impossible to dodge the sword wave released by Ajax. Nevertheless, he used his hands to cover his body, and at the same time, he used some kind of sand defensive move before his hands. However, the sword wave created with a grade 5 sword dao and a special sword move easily shed towards the defensive shield, hands, and the neck of the dirt troll king. ''Ding, Congrattions to the? host for sessfully killing the Dirt Troll King, ''Ding, Gained 100 spirit points and a Great earth armorw stone. ''Ding, The host sessfully triggered the special effect of the mysterious spirit cultivation. The host gains 10 percent of the spirit consciousness capacity of the Dirt Troll King. Just as the dirt troll king''s head was separated from his body, Ajax received a series of system notifications. "Aw stone? Great." He was surprised by the second system notification; however, when he saw the third system notification, he was even more surprised and hurriedly checked his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness''s capacity:- 30000 / 30000 units. ''Woah. I reached 30k units of capacity looks like before I even reach the King realm, I might cross the 50k units.'' Generally, a King realm cultivator has a minimum of 50k units of spirit consciousness capacity. As for Ajax, he was still in the general realm and he already crossed the halfway mark of the king realm cultivator''s spirit consciousness capacity. "So, it looks like I got around 6k or 7k units of upgrade in the spirit consciousness capacity. So, he must have around 60k or 70k units." It was not a hard thing for Ajax to guess how big the dirt troll king''s spirit consciousness capacity was. Moreover, because of the Elite general realm spirit ground, his spirit consciousness would always be filled with the essence of nature. ''Alder, go and bring the body of the dirt troll king.'' Even though he didn''t want to summon the devourer eagle king, Ajax didn''t want to waste such a valuable resource because the Arcane green spirit turtle will refine something good from the body of the dirt troll king. So, Ajax just summoned Alder and gave the order to recover the body whereas he rushed towards the portal. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' With a screech Alder rushed for the dirt troll king''s body and returned back to Ajax within less than 10 seconds. "Phew...finally back in it." Just as Ajax jumped into the portal, the entire dirt troll world was destroyed leaving dust and debris in the space. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1056: Grey Dwarves'' World

In the endless space, Igunuz, who was waiting for the expecting Ajax to show up in Obsidian naga world and Shard giant world was shocked by the destruction of another world under him. This time, it was the Dirt troll world that made Igunuz frown. ''What the hell? What is there in that world? Why would he destroy it?'' There were many questions in his head; however, he was still unable to understand why someone would destroy the dirt troll world. ''They don''t pay any tribute to me because there is nothing worth in that world.'' Except for dirt, the dirt troll world didn''t have the slightest bit of the pure essence of nature. "There are only a few words in the outer region. It looks like I should warn all the Kings of these worlds." Igunuz was not worried much about the destruction of the Dirt troll world because he got nothing from it and he stopped even paying attention to it. In his eyes,? The Devourer eagle king''s world is also simr to the Dirt troll world because there were no special resources. However, the devourer eagles are good for the destruction of the other worlds and the demon emperor special orders to not bother them and let them be powerful on their own. ''But why didn''t I get any ''demon''s prey'' curse scent this time?'' Igunuz didn''t understand because earlier when he was dozens of hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, he was able to sense the ''Demon''s prey'' curse. However, this time, he was only a few hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the dirt troll world but still didn''t get a scent of the ''Demon''s prey''. "Anyway, I have to show him the hell when I catch him." Igunuz was annoyed with the one who was destroying the worlds in his territory. ..... In the devourer eagle king''s world, ''Huf huf'' Ajax heavily breathed as he fell to the ground with a face full of smiles. "Did you enjoy it?" While lying on the ground, Ajax asked his summons. "Very much." Everyone except for the twilight dragon and the devour eagle king was able to enjoy the fight in the dirt troll world. So, he heavily nodded their heads. Ajax nodded his head as he took out a brown coloured crystal from his inventory. "Quarris, take thisw stone." After thinking for a moment, he asked his second earth elemental spirit Quarris, and gave thew stone to him. "Summoning master, brother it is¡­." "Just take it when I give it to you. As for it, I have other ns." Quarris didn''t take the Great earth armorw stone from Ajax''s hands and wanted Ajax to give it to it because he was Quarris'' senior. However, before he could finish his words, Ajax interrupted and threw thew stone at the earth elemental spirit. "Yes, summoning master." Hearing Ajax''s serious tone, Quarries didn''t reject thew stone and nodded his head with great respect. "Alder, are you sure you will not mind destroying this world?" Next, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king. Even though the devourer eagle king said that he would not care about his world, Ajax wanted to make sure that Alder was ready for it. So, he asked Alder once again. "I am sure, master." Alder replied with a nonchnt look in his eyes. "Okay then. I will be destroying it now." Once he got the full confirmation from the devourer eagle king, Ajax stood up from the ground and searched for Prophis in his summons. "Prophis, store these 10 devourer eagle generals in your space world." "Yes, summoning master." Since Ajax could not store the spirit beasts inside his inner world without a contract, he could only ask Prophis for help. Prophis had an inner world just like Ajax; however, except for the endless space like a space ring, there would be nothing inside. Nevertheless, it will keep the living beings alive, unlike the space rings. "Swoosh" Once Prophis stored the 10 devourer eagle generals, Ajax kept all his summons in his inner world with a thought. ''Enter'' With a thought, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form entered into the devourer eagle king''s world''s conscious realm. ''Huh? This one is trying to devourer my spirit consciousness.'' Ajax was not surprised at the aggressive nature of the world core of the devourer eagle king. However, the surprise onlysted for a few moments before disappearing as Ajax was focused only on refining the world core. ''Argh'' Ajax''s real body groaned in pain when he touched the world core; however, he got used to the pain while refining the world cores. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the world core. ''Ding, The host has reached level 6 general realm. ''Phew'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to receive the system notifications he was expecting and once he saw them, he heaved a sigh of relief. "It''s time toplete the special mission." Once his cultivation increased, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked the system, ''System, use the ticket and open the portal to the grey dwarves'' world.'' That''s right! His next n was to enter the grey dwarves'' world toplete a mission. During the 30 days resting period before his invasion of the Dirt troll king, Ajax opened the special gift box he gained from making Nameless cultivator as his follower. And the reward he got from the special reward box was a ticket to the Grey dwarves'' world. The important thing was when he got that reward, he also received a mission asking him to free that world from the clutches of the demons. Moreover, the grey dwarves world is a smaller world that was controlled by five demon kings. At least that''s what the system had said. So, Ajax had decided to enter it to see the actual situation in the grey dwarves world. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a portal opened as Ajax jumped into the portal leaving behind the devourer eagle king''s world that just got destroyed. .... In the grey dwarves world, "Brother, we can kill this wave of demons easily." "Brother, stop making things difficult for everyone. If we just give what they ask us, then we don''t have to fight them." "Then what about the death of my little brother and little sister? Are you just leaving it like that?" In a small town of the grey dwarves world, a group of town leaders was seriously discussing around a round table. Among the group of grey dwarves, most of them were old; however, they were still strong and muscr. As for their high, they were around the usual dwarf race''s height and it was around one meter. "Damn you all. If you don''t want to fight, I will just fight myself and avenge the death of my little brother and little sister." There was a young dwarf who was opposing the entire group of town leaders and rushed out of the room after cursing them. "I am going to kill them all." He hurriedly picked a heaven grade sword and rushed towards the demons who were surrounding their town. ''Thud'' However, just as he exited the town hall, he fell to the ground because he was very angry and soon, he was surrounded by the 100 or so demons. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 550 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1057: Rurbeak, The Brave Dwarf

Grey dwarves excel in weapon and artifact making; however, they don''t like to fight and even if they wanted to fight, they could not fight because of their weakbat power. As for their survival, they make a powerful being as their friend and trade the weapons refined, in return for protection. Just like any other grey dwarves'' world, this grey dwarves'' world is also able to invite a King realm Gaint and his followers as their protectors. However, a few years back, the Primordial demons killed all the Giants in the Grey dwarves'' world and made the Grey dwarves their ves. Moreover, in order to stop the other invaders, the primordial demon king Igunuz put five demon kings with their army in charge of that world. As for the five demon kings, they were cruel and vicious as they torture the grey dwarves if they didn''t refine the said quota in time and the said quota will increase every time. If they fail to meet the said quote in time, they will kill one or two grey dwarves to show their authority. Rurbeak, the young dwarf who rushed towards the demons who came to take the weekly refined weapons, lost his little brother and little sister just because they were short of one dagger. Even though he knew that he could not kill all of them, he wanted to take at least a few demons along with him before dying. But who would have thought that he would fall to the ground the moment he came out of the town wall. "Woah...did you see this? A little dwarf wanted to kill us." The demon general who was leading the 100 demons mocked looking at Rurbeak on the ground. "Haha" Hearing the demon general''s words, the rest of the demons startedughing while scoffing at the young dwarf Rurbeak who was crying. "General, let''s just kill him and show the grey dwarves in this town what will happen if they have any thoughts like this." Afterughing, one of the demons suggested to the demon general. "Yes, general. It is a lesson these short people should learn. Moreover, he has a heaven-grade sword which will perfectly suit you." Another demon nodded his head while saying about the heaven-grade sword in Rurbeak''s hands. At the same time, that demon was looking at the low-level heaven-grade sword on the demon general''s back. "That sword looks good. Bring that to me and you can take my sword." Of course, the demon general had long noticed the grade of the sword in Rurbeak''s hand; however, he was waiting for one of his underlings to suggest that the sword better suits him. So, the moment, one of his underlings said that he was generous in giving away his low-level heaven grade sword while asking his underling to bring the high-level heaven grade sword. "Thank you, general." That demon was excited and thanked the demon general before bringing the sword from the young dwarf to his demon general. ''Finally, got a good weapon. As long as I have enough contributions, I can challenge the other demon generals to be a demon general.'' The demon who got the sword from his demon general silently muttered to himself before saying to his demon general, "General, shall I make all the preparations for the execution of? this young dwarf?" Since he was in a great mood, the underling demon urged the demon general for an execution. "Go ahead and inform all the dwarves in this town." The demon general also enjoys torturing the dwarves. So, he nodded his head to that demon before looking at another demon and said, "Let''s go and collect this week''s tribute from this town." "By the way, we need to hurry up as we still need to collect tributes from another 10 towns." This was thest time the demon general said to others before entering the town with his underlings. As for Rurbeak, he was dragged by a demon to the center of the town. ''Please forgive your big brother. I am not strong enough to fight them.'' Even though he was dragged by a demon for an execution, Rurbeak didn''t bother about it as he was asking for an apology from his dead little brother and little sister. "Demon general, you are here a day earlier than your usual date." Before the demons could call any of the residents of the town, everyone came out as they already knew that the demon hade to collect the tribute. So, the old dwarf, who was the leader of the town, respectfully said those words to the demon general. "You know what would happen if you didn''t refine the weapons, right?" The demon general revealed a slight smile as he asked in a low voice. "But, you are..." "There are no ''Buts''. We will kill one of you to teach the lesson and we will double next week''s weapon refinement." Before the town leader could say anything, he was interrupted by the demon general as he walked towards a young dwarf beside the town leader. ''Puchi'' Without any hesitation, the demon general killed the grandson of the town leader. ''Grandson.'' ''Son.'' The town leader and another middle-aged dwarf shouted as they rushed toward the dwarf killed by the demon general. "Do you have anything else to say?" Looking at the crying town leader, the demon general asked with a calm look on his demon face. "N..no." Except for nodding his head, the town leader was unable to do anything because they were weak and even though they have good weapons, they don''t excel in any of them. "Good." The demon general was satisfied with the attitude of the town leader and looked around. Whenever his gaze passed by a dwarf, they would shiver a little. "Also, one of you wanted to kill us. So, I am executing him as a lesson for everyone." While saying those words, the demon from earlier, dragged Rurbeak to the center of the town. "In the future, even if you have a single thought of killing us, then I will make sure your death will be more painful than this one." The demon general''s words resounded in the entire town as he ordered a demon, "Cut his neck as slowly as possible. I want to see his life go away in his eyes." "Yes, demon general." The demon who got the opportunity to do that became excited as he walked towards Rurbeak. "Leader, you are right. We can only live as ves; however, I decided something and it is to die. It is better to die than to live as a ve where we will be killed, who knows when." Suddenly, Rurbeak spoke to the town leader with a smiling face which waspletely covered in his tears. Even though it looked like he spoke to the town leader, those words were for every dwarf who was watching him. "I wonder where this dwarf came from to have such guts to openly speak." The demon general was surprised by Rurbeak''s courage and ordered the demon, "I changed my decision. Just cut off his army and remove one eye." "Yes, general." The demon revealed an eerie smile as he took out a dagger to pierce Rurbeak''s left eye.

''Puchi'' However, before the demon could pierce his dagger into Rurbeak''s eye, a hole appeared in that demon''s abdomen. ''Thud'' In front of everyone''s eyes, the demon fell to the ground with a confused look in his eyes. "What?" Rurbeak looked at the fallen demon in front of him and looked in the direction where the stone that made a hole in the demon''s abdomen came from. In that direction, Rurbeak and everyone present there saw a young man walk towards them with an expressionless look on his face. He was wearing a light purple coloured battle robe; however, he was not carrying a weapon or anything else with him. "Who the hell are you? How dare you kill one of my men?" The demon general shouted at the young man walking towards them and at the same time, he thought, ''How did a human appear here?'' "My name is Ajax, the traveler." That''s right! The young man was none other than Ajax who came to the Grey dwarves'' world on a system''s mission. Ajax calmly replied to the demon general as he walked towards Rurbeak. The demon general frowned when he saw how calm Ajax was while replying to him as though he didn''t have any fear. Not only the demon generals but all the demons and the grey dwarves were shocked at Ajax and they felt a bad feeling in their heads. Even though Ajax saved Rurbeak, all the grey dwarves knew that their world is currently ruled by the five demon kings and the human is just making things difficult for them by starting a fight. "What is your name?" Why would Ajax bother about anyone''s thoughts? He came to this world only for the special mission and he was confident in finishing the mission. So, he didn''t bother to look at the grey dwarves or the demons; instead, he walked towards Rurbeak before asking his name. "S..sir, my name is Rurbeak." Rurbeak stuttered a little; however, he hurriedly replied to Ajax and it was not because of fear; instead, Rurbeak felt the human in front of him was better than his own people. However, that doesn''t make him hate his town''s people because they were born the way they were born without much courage. "Rurbeak, you have unusual courage in you which the dwarf racecks. So, if you want, you can be my follower. Remember, it is a follower and not a ve." Nodding his head, Ajax offered the young dwarf to be his follower. "Th...this...is.." Rurbeak was shocked by Ajax''s words as he didn''t know what he had to do. His head was in aplete mess as he looked at the demon general and the town leader. "Don''t worry. If you want you can reject my offer too." Seeing that the young dwarf was stammering in his words, Ajax assured him that he was not forcing him to be his follower. "I...I want to. I want to be your follower." Rurbeak wanted to do something more than stay in this dwarf world and stay as a ve under the demon kings forever. So, he assumed that this might be the fortuitous encounter he was waiting for. Rurbeak knew the human came from a different world and he guessed that he would leave the world soon. So, he controlled his thoughts and directly nodded his head. "Rurbeak, are you out of your mind? How can you be a follower of someone you don''t know?" The town leader shouted at Rurbeak and hurriedly walked forward to the demon general and kneeled before saying, "General, we don''t know who this is and you can kill him; however, can you lessen the punishment for Rurbeak." "Sure. I will let him have his hand but I will still take one of his eyes." The demon general revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head while looking at Ajax. "Thank you, demon general." "Rurbeak, hurriedly thank the demon general for reducing your punishment." The old dwarf hurriedly thanked the demon general and asked Rurbeak to do the same. However, Rurbeak didn''t do anything; instead, he stood up and walked to Ajax''s side. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a follower. ''Ding, The system detected the follower is unique and has a huge potential to be an Emperor grade cksmith. Please support the follower and he will do a lot of wonders. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a ''Normal world seed''. As for Ajax, he was looking at the system notifications that appeared just as the young dwarf agreed to be Ajax''s follower. ''A normal world seed? I wonder what it will do.'' It was Ajax''s first time hearing the name. So, he didn''t know what he could do with it; however, he knew it was a good item and decided to check it after clearing the demons. "Young man, if you know what is good for you, just beg the general and he will be his ve. He might let you have your life." The town leader frowned when he saw the young dwarf walk towards Ajax; instead of apologizing to the demon general. So, he tried to warn Ajax. "Sigh" Ajax didn''t get angry at the old dwarf''s words; instead, he felt pity and sighed. ''Spatial des.'' Without wasting any time, he used Spatial des as he felt ''Advanced spatial des'' would be overkill. ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''Aargh'' ''Thud'' Except for the demon general, all the demons were killed by the spatial des and fell to the ground. ''What?'' All the grey dwarves were shocked at the sight of killing all the demon general''s underlings in a single attack. Moreover, he could guess that the human didn''t want to kill the demon general yet and that was the only reason why not a single spatial dended on the demon general. ''This is what I am waiting for. How can my master be a weak person?'' As for Rurbeak, unlike the other grey dwarves, he was excited as he looked at Ajax in awe and then looked at the demon general with a mocking look. "So, do you still want me to beg you to take me as your ve?" First, Ajax''s gazended on the leader of the grey dwarves and then he shifted it to the demon general before asking in a calm tone. "Young man, you don''t know what you are getting into. If youe back with me and be a ve to my demon king, then he might let you live and make you a demon general or even an elite demon general." However, the demon general didn''t fear a little because he understood that if Ajax wanted to kill him, he would have already died. Since Ajax''s cultivation was still at level 6 general realm, that demon general said those words. So, he tried to warn Ajax with words, and at the same time, he tempted Ajax into joining their ranks. "Oh. So, you are going to rmend me to be one of you." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face giving the demon general some hope. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1059: Second Dwarf Follower:- Lurmer

"Yes. As long as you swear your loyalty to my demon king, you might even be an elite general. So, just think about it." The demon general felt Ajax was thinking about joining the demon ranks and since Ajax is a human, they could use him to prate into the human worlds easily. So, humans who would swear their loyalty to the demon kings are assets and they would be taken care of very generously. "Sorry but I swear allegiance to no one but myself." ''Absolute darkness'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax used the deadly nightmare skill on the demon general. ''Aargh'' Soon, the demon general started shouting in pain as his body fell to the ground and started twitching for a couple of minutes before bing silent. If Ajax wanted to kill the demon general, he would have killed him in a split second with the same ''Absolute darkness'' skill. However, he just wanted to show the grey dwarves that he should not be the one to mess with. ''Is he dead?'' ''What did this human do to the demon general?'' ''What should we do now?'' ''If the demon kings find out about this, they will destroy our town.'' Seeing the gruesome death of the demon general, the grey dwarves were shocked to death and started thinking about the consequences. The demon king will not slide the death of the demon general and other demons. At the same time, they didn''t have the power to go against Ajax who could kill a demon general from a distance of more than 50 meters. Right now, they didn''t have the slightest clue regarding what to do. ''Cool.'' However,pared to them, Rurbeak was happy because he had finally seen the death of the demons that killed his little brother and little sister. "Rurbeak, I don''t think you don''t have any family in this town, right? Go and pack your things, we are leaving this town." After killing the demon general, Ajax didn''t bother about other grey dwarves as he asked Rurbeak to follow him after packing his things. "Right away, master." For the first time after the death of his siblings, Rurbeak started smiling and he was in a great mood as he went to pack his things. All the grey dwarves looked at Ajax and some of them wanted to say something to him; however, theycked the courage to speak. So, they kept quiet. As for Rurbeak, it didn''t take much time for him toe back after storing all his stuff into a space ring. "Rurbeak, how can you leave like this?" Finally, the old town leader mustered his courage as he nced at Ajax for a moment before shouting at Rurbeak. "What are we going to say if the demon king sends other demon generals or elite demon generals?" "We didn''t think you are such a person to abandon your kin." "He might have a little talent in weapon refining but he is not one of us." "Let him go and if he stays here for another second, I will kill him with my own hands." "He is such an ungrateful bastard." "Like father, like son. Last time, his father also retorted against the demon king and nearly got us killed, and now he is going to kill us too; however, that bastard is going to escape with his new master." Once the town leader spoke, the rest of the grey dwarves started shouting at Rurbeak except for the middle-aged dwarf, the son of the current town leader and a father who had just lost his son. "Shut up." Rurbeak just wanted to leave this town which he had so many memories with peacefully; however, all the grey dwarves made him look like a viin who had stolen all their heavens grade weapons. Even when no one came to his support when the demon general was nning to blind and amputate him, he was not feeling anything towards the grey dwarves; however, now, they thought he was an easy target to pick on when they noticed Ajax didn''t say anything to them. Finally, he could not hold it any longer as he shouted at them. "If not for me, this town would have long been destroyed by the demon king and his underlings" "If they knew that you can''t even refine a heaven-grade weapon, I wonder what the demons are going to do with you?" "Since you like to talk about "Grateful and Gratitude", let''s talk about them." "When I was working my ass-off just to refine the weapons, you were not even able to finish the refinement of the low-grade weapons which cost us the lives of my siblings." "I don''t owe you guys anything. Now, I am living far from you and if you ever say anything about my parents or about me, I will kill you and you know I will do it." Rurbeak said in a loud voice with a face full of seriousness and that made the rest of the grey dwarves shiver in fear. "Master, sorry for theteness. We can leave now." Rurbeak turned to Ajax and the angry expression changed into a respectful one as he said to Ajax with a bow. "Young man, wait a second." Ajax nodded his head and turned to leave the town to search for more demons; however, just as he turned to leave, he heard someone asking him to stop. "Uncle Lurmer, what is it?" Before Ajax could say anything, Rurbeak hurriedly turned back and asked the son of the current town leader. The only one who Rurbeak felt close to was that middle-aged dwarf known as Lurmer. He feared Lurmer might do something that might anger his master. So, he asked the middle-aged dwarf. "Can you ask your master, whether he is willing to take any more followers?" While saying those words, Lurmer was looking at Ajax with a fearful look; however, he controlled his emotions and continued to say, "Even though I can''t refine heaven-grade weapons as you do, I feel like I can refine heaven-grade weapons in a couple of months." Actually, Lurmer wanted to show Ajax that he could be useful to Ajax; however, while saying that, Lurmer was not arrogant or confident. It looked more like begging to Ajax and that made him think, ''Looks like he lost something very important today and he wants to leave this town for that.'' "Sigh" Ajax looked at the fallen body of the young dwarf in Lurmer''s hands and sighed. Even though Heaven-grade weapons are very useful and they will be in good demand if he sells them in Zrochester province or Ylercester province, Ajax didn''t have ns on taking more followers. However, looking at the pitiful state of the middle-aged dwarf, Ajax decided to take him in. ''Since he looks a little close to Rurbeak, I think they can learn from each other.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax decided to take Lurmer as his follower. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a new follower. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a lottery chance. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1060: [Bonus Chapter]Normal World Seed

# Bonus chapters for Dragon (2/2) Ajax received a couple of system notifications after epting Lurmer as his follower; however,pared to before, the reward was not much. ''With this lottery chance, I have three lottery chances in total. I think I can check them soon.'' Ajax silently thought to himself with a slight smile on his face. "Thank you, master. I will definitely prove you my worth." Lurmer fell to his knees as he thanked Ajax before saying, "If you give me some time, I will bury my son?" "Go." Ajax shook his head as he gave the permission and asked Rurbeak, "Go and help him." "Yes, master." Rurbeak nodded his head as he went with Lurmer to bury Lurmer''s son. The old grey dwarf became very angry when he saw his son''s actions; however, seeing that Ajax was looking at him, he controlled his urge to shout at his son. "Master, let''s go." After 10 minutes, both Lurmer and Rurbeak returned with red eyes which were of course from crying. Soon, Ajax left the small grey dwarves'' town with his two new followers. "This ce will do." After traveling around 5 kilometers, Ajax and his two new followers were standing in open grasnd. "You wanted to know where we are going, right?" Along the way, Rurbeak asked about where they were going; however, Ajax didn''t say anything; however, now, Ajax himself asked where they wanted to know about it. "Yes, master." Rurbeak was the first one to nod his head; however, Lurmer didn''t say anything as though he didn''t care where they were going. For him, wherever Ajax goes, he would follow Ajax. "Just wait a few minutes, you will find out soon." Ajax replied to Rurbeak with a slight smile on his face as he sat down on the ground. ''Huh?'' Rurbeak looked at Ajax in confusion; however, he didn''t ask anything and decided to wait for a few minutes as Ajax asked him to. .... The grey dwarves'' world is divided into five regions and each region is controlled by a demon king. Currently, they were in the Arrowguard region that was ruled by Agron. "''Demon''s prey'' curse here? Interesting." The demon king who controls the Arrowguard region sensed the demon''s curse and felt a little excited. "I wonder how much energy is stored in that curse. Will it help me breakthrough from the low-level king realm to mid-level king realm?" Agron muttered to himself and after thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion, "Before the other demon kings catch the demon''s prey, I have to catch him." Since Ajax was in the Arroeguard region, the demon king was able to sense the demon''s prey curse on Ajax''s body a little earlier than the other demon kings. "Emergency orders to all the demons in the Arrowguard region, if you see a demon from the other regions, don''t let them enter our region. If they don''t listen, then you know what you have to do, right?" The demon king Agron transmitted his voice to all the demons in his region. For a low-level demon king like him, a demon''s prey curse is very important as it would help them increase their cultivation a little. The faster they kill the being that was cursed, the higher the energy they would get. So, Agron didn''t bother wasting any more time and rushed towards the ce where Ajax sat down with his 100 elite demon generals and thousands of demon generals. ''I wonder what the strength of the target is?'' Along the way, the demon king thought about Ajax''s strength because he could not tell the strength of the cursed beings from a very long distance. So, he was having a slight fear; however, he didn''t want the chance to be stronger to go away because of that slight fear. ... ''Thud thud'' Ajax and his two new followers heard the marching sounds from the distance that shook the ground a little. "Is that a demon army?" The demon army was still very far away from Ajax. So, Rurbeak and Lurmer were unable to see exactly who was marching towards them. However, they were sure that only the demon army could march like that openly. "Do you want to see a good show? Then, just sit down. The show will be starting anytime soon now." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax looked at the demon army in the distance and rested his back on the ground covered with grass. ''Okay, master.'' They felt a slight fear when they saw the iing demon army; however, when they saw how their master was calm and rxed, they decided to wait and see what his master wanted them to watch. ''System, show the information about the normal world seed.'' Earlier, he got this reward for making Rurbeak his follower. So, he decided to check the information on it as it would take some more time for the demon army to reach them. ''Ding, Item name:- Normal world seed. Effect:- When this seed is merged with the world of a smaller world, the smaller world will evolve and be a normal world within 12 months. Description:- Only use this seed once the world core acknowledges you as its master. Soon, the brief information about the ''Normal world seed'' appeared in front of Ajax that gave a big surprise for him. ''Conquering a world is easy and even refining the world is easy; however, how can I make a world core acknowledge me as its master?'' However, when he thought about this problem, he didn''t know what he had to do. ''Ding, The host has to enter the special realm and has to convince the world core just like a spirit beast or an elemental spirit. ''That was very helpful, system.'' Ajax mocked the system when he saw the system''s reply and thought, ''Let''s see when I conquer my next smaller world.'' ''It is time to spin the wheel.'' After keeping the thoughts about the normal world seed away, Ajax thought of using the lottery chance. Currently, Ajax has three spinning lottery chances and Ajax wanted to try his luck. ''Ding, The host got one bestial elementalw stone. ''Ding, The host got an enraged earth metal x 1. ''Ding, The host got a floating obsidian x 1. Soon, Ajax used up all his three chances in the lottery tab and got three items. ''Interesting, a bestial elementalw stone is good.'' Among the three items, Ajax felt the first one was very valuable and before he could check what kind of bestial elementalw was stored in thew stone, the demon army had arrived in front of him. "Master, they are already here." "Master, theypletely surrounded us." Both the dwarves hurriedly notified about the hundreds of thousands of demons around them. Most of them were onlymander realm demons and a few thousand were demon generals along with 100 elite demon generals. However, there were no signs of the demon king in the demon army. "Since you are here, I will start the show" As soon as he finished his words, Ajax shouted, "Volcanis,e out and take care of it." ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1061: 33 percent

Currently, in the demon army, the demon king Agron wasn''t present and only a 100 peak level 10 demon generals who looked not very strong from Ajax''s perspective. So, Ajax only summoned Volcanis to fight the demon army and he was confident in Vocanis. "Yes, summoning master." The fire elemental spirit who was surrounded with a bright red-coloured fire appeared in front of Ajax and respectfully nodded their head before rushing into the demon army with the fire demon sword in his hands. ''What? Master is a summoner? This is great.'' Rurbeak didn''t expect Ajax to be a summoner and when he saw the powerful-looking Volcanis, Rurbeak could guess his master was a powerful one among the summoners. ''Only if I met him a little earlier, my son would have still been alive.'' However, Lurmer sighed at his bad luck that he lost his son; however, he could not do anything about it except for sighing. ''Why am I having a bad feeling?'' ''Is it because of the sword in his hands or the fire elemental spirit himself?'' ''I need to inform the demon king about the legend grade fire demon sword.'' All the demon generals and below that realm shook in fear when they saw the fire elemental spirit rush towards them. As for the elite demon generals, they were shocked to the core when they saw the fire demon king''s sword in Volcanis'' hands and decided to inform their demon king. ''Fire asteroids'' Before he could reach the demon army, Volcanis used his long-range attack that could cause ''Area of Effect'' damage. Moreover, all the demon generals and those below that realm were frozen because of the fear. So, they were unable to dodge the attack and died in a matter of seconds. ''What?'' Except for 100 elite demon generals who were least affected by the demon sword in Volcanis'' hands, the rest of the demon army either died or were severely injured. They looked at Volcanis as though they were looking at a real demon and hurriedly transmitted about the demon king''s sword and Volcanis. ''Just try to stall for time. I wille in a minute.'' The demon king was flying towards the ce where the demon army was, at an incredible speed, and asked his elite demon generals to stall time. The thing is, even though Agron is a primordial demon king, he was just an underling for Igunuz and since Igunuz knew that there would be no retaliation from the grey dwarves, he limited the army of the five demon kings in the grey dwarves'' world. Only 100 elite demon generals and a few thousand demon generals and the lower level demons, could have less than a million low-level demons each. Basically, that army was just for a show and with that army, Igunuz knew that those five demons can''t enhance their power to take over the grey dwarves'' world for themselves. ''Sword sh'' Next, he swung the demon king''s sword more than a dozen times releasing many sword waves of around 10 meters in different directions, killing the scattered demons. "Incineration" Volcanis didn''t give any time for the demons to take a breath as he directly used his most powerful skill that burned all the elite demon generals to burn into nothing along with the severely injured demon generals. From start to end, Ajax only used two skills along with a dozen simple sword waves and he was able to destroy theplete demon army. "Woah. He is so strong." Rurbeak was unable to hide his excitement as he shouted out loud. Compared to Rurbeak, Lurmer was calm; however, deep down his respect towards his master grew to another level. "So, earlier, you were saying you can refine a heaven-grade weapon, is that right?" Ajax revealed a slight smile as he already knew what Volcanis was capable of. So, he looked at Rurbeak as he asked something he was curious about. Moreover, he got two metals from the earlier lottery spin. Even though he didn''t check them out yet, he could easily say that those metals could be used to make weapons. "Yes, master. As long as I can get the suitable materials, I will refine a low-level heaven grade weapon with more than 33 percent of sess rate." Rurbeak, who was waiting for Ajax to ask that question for a while now, became a little excited as he replied to Ajax with full confidence. ''33 percent? Higher than I thought.'' In general, even a King grade weapon refiner can''t refine a heaven-grade weapon with 100 percent sess rate just like the King grade alchemy who can''t refine heaven-grade pills or rank 5 or rank 6 pills. It varies from one weapon refiner to another depending on the foundation of the weapon refining knowledge and skills. However, it was impossible for anyone to have a 100 percent sess rate. Moreover, Rurbeak looked very young and he could already refine the low-level heaven-grade weapons with a 33 percent of sess rate. So, of course, his future is boundless and with time, the sess rate will increase. ''No wonder, system asked me to support him. In the future, he could refine legend grade weapons or even mythical grade weapons is possible.'' Once he learned the sess rate, Ajax decided to support Rurbeak and made him a King grade weapon refiner or if possible, he should even help him be an Emperor grade weapon refiner. As for Lurmer, he didn''t ask about his weapon refining because he already knows that he can''t refine the heaven-grade weapons yet. "So, what about mid-level and high-level heaven grade weapons? Can you refine them?" Next, Ajax asked Rurbeak about the mid and high-level heaven-grade weapons. "Recently, I was able to refine a mid-level heaven grade sword. This is the one, master." While saying that, Rurbeak took out a mid-level heaven grade sword from his space ring and continued? saying, "After this one, I tried to refine other mid-level heaven grade weapons; however, I am not so lucky and failed every time." At the end of his lines, Rurbeak couldn''t help but be a little sad. "Don''t worry. I will support you two in your weapon refining path." Ajax revealed a slight smile as he replied to Rurbeak and Lurmer. "Thank you, master." Alchemy and weapon refining takes a fortune to learn. So, they were worried about Ajax not supporting him with some high-level weapon materials to increase their weapon refining rank. "No problem." Ajax shook his head as he continued, "All you have to do is focus on weapon refining and be a high-level one. I will be counting on you two for the weapons in the future." Ajax was just investing in them and as long as they became high-level weapon refiners, he could make deals with other bigshots from the greater worlds in exchange for other materials. He knew that he could not rely on the system forever on the items it would give and it was still a mystery where all the items he received from the system came from. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1062: [Bonus Chapter]Artifical Demon King

# Bonus chapter for LUXURY CAR (1 / 1). The thing is, after some time, the system might not be able to give high-level items for his summons or for himself. At that time, he could rely on the weapons forged by Rurbeak and Lurmer to get good items from the greater worlds. So, Ajax thought of a backup n to get items in the future. "Who dared to kill my army?" All of a sudden, an enraged voice came from the distance, and without a doubt that voice belonged to the demon king Agron. "It is me who killed them all. So what?" Volcanis looked at the primordial demon king whonded on the ground as he replied with a calm look on his face. Even if Volcanis didn''t say anything, it was not a difficult thing for the demon king to notice. What caught the demon king''s eyes was the demon king''s sword in Volcanis hands. It had a weakening and fear-inducing effect on the demons; however, it didn''t have any effect on the demon king because of his cultivation. "You have the fire scourge demon king''s sword with you? Does that mean you killed him?" The primordial demon king was shocked and had a slight fear for a moment; however, when he thought about the cultivation of Volcanis, his fear disappeared before recing it with an excited look on his face. ''As long as I kill him and the summoner brat in the back, I can have the fire scourge demon king''s sword and the ''Demon''s prey'' curse for myself. At that time, the other four demon kings have to listen to me.'' When this thought came to his mind, Agron could not help but smile in his heart and rushed towards the volcanis. "Primordial punch." ''Thud'' ''Rumble'' Volcanis barely dodged the demon king''s punch and the ce he was standing previously had a huge hole in it. "Rapid primordial punches" The demon king didn''t stop there as he continued to punch Volcanis at an incredible speed. ''Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids'' ''Celestial fire realm'' As for Volcanis, he didn''t hesitate to use his two elemental spirit skills without any hesitation as he knew that he could go against the demon king head-on. ''Fire asteroids'' Volcanis waited for some time before using the same skill he used earlier; however, since he activated two fire elementalws, the firepower inside each fire asteroid is very high. "If you are thinking of killing me with this, then you are wrong. Let me show you how strong the bodies of the primordial demons have." With a proud look on his face, Agron stood in the same ce as he mocked Volcanis because he was very confident in his body. Even though he looked arrogant, he had every right to be, because the primordial demons cultivate in their bodies and have strong bodies without using any defensive skills or artifacts. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Soon, the fire asteroids started falling on the huge demon king''s body. Whenever a fire asteroidnded on the primordial demon king, there was a huge explosion; however, the primordial demon king was still standing with few burns on his body. "Did you see that? Your attacks will not injure me." The primordial demon king scoffed at Volcanis; however, deep down, he muttered, ''What the hell? Is he a King realm cultivator or me?'' He was shocked and at the same time feared beforeing to the conclusion, ''I should not let his attacks fall on me.'' "I am done talking with you. Now, it is time to finish." Soon, he calmly said those words to Volcanis before rushing towards Volcanis. As for Volcanis, he was not surprised that his attacks were not having much effect on the demon king''s body; however, he was not depressed because he still have two powerful skills. Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry to use them because he wanted to tire out the primordial demon king before using his powerful skills. Even if they didn''t kill the demon king, they would definitely injure him severely. So, hepletely stayed on the defensive as he continued to dodge the demon king''s attacks. "Huh? Looks like he is not as strong as I think he is." Ajax, who was observing from the distance muttered to himself; however, his words were still heard by the two dwarves beside him. ''What? The demon king looks weak to you?'' This was the only thought in their heads after hearing Ajax''s evaluation of the demon king. Actually, the primordial demons belong to the highest ss in the demon race and they have high battle prowess; however, the primordial demon king in front of him was not even as strong as the scourge demon king because Volcanis was able to y with him even before using the bloodline and the two skills rted to the elementalws. ''Ding, The primordial demon king in front of the host is forcefully evolved into the demon king realm with the help of the demon emperor''s powers. So, he will be weaker than a regr primordial demon king and has the same strength as a bronze demon king. ''Oh...interesting.'' Seeing the sudden system notification in front of him, Ajax was surprised a little as he looked at the angry primordial demon king who was fighting Volcanis. ''So, the demon emperor can even make his own demon kings; however, I think ites at a price, right?'' Ajax asked the system while observing the fight. ''Ding, Yes. So, he could only make a limited number of demon kings. ''Good.'' Ajax nodded his head as he thought, ''Since the demon emperor helped him be a demon king, then he must be a good item to refine in the universal furnace of the Arcane green spirit turtle.'' "Volcanis, what are you dragging for? He is already very tired.?You can kill him now." Once he thought of refining the primordial demon king''s body, Ajax directly gave the order to the fire elemental spirit. There was another reason why Ajax wanted Volcanis to finish the fight because the demon king might use his demonic soul anytime and at that time, it would be a little more difficult for Volcanis to finish the fight. "Yes, summoning master." Once he got the order from Ajax, Volcanis stopped dodging the attacks of the primordial demon king and directly jumped onto the demon king''s body. ''Summoning master, I am ready.'' The moment he jumped onto the demon king''s body, Volcanis gave a signal to Ajax. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Ajax knew that even though the primordial demon king in front of them was a forcefully made demon king, he was still a King realm demon with a strong body. So, when Volcanis wanted to finish the fight, Ajax wanted to finish the primordial demon king in a single attack. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroid." "Celestial engulfer." Once Volcanis felt the rising power inside him, he looked at the half-tired primordial demon king beneath his feet and used the two powerful skills he was waiting to use for a while to kill the demon king. ''Boom'' ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1063: Demon Bones, Flying Obsidian and Enraged Earth Metal

Chapter 1063: Demon Bones, Flying Obsidian and Enraged Earth Metal

Many huge fire asteroids and flying swordsnded on the primordial demon king. All fire asteroids and flying swords were focused at a single ce and it was the demon king''s head. Along with the fire asteroids and the flying swords, a ckish red-coloured fire came out of the ground beneath the demon king''s feet and started consuming him. It was none other than ''Celestial engulfer'' skill rted to Volcanis'' second elementalw ''Celestial fire realm''. ''Aargh'' The demon king didn''t know what was happening until he felt the pain in his head and at the same time, he felt something was eating his feet. ''Thud'' He couldn''t help but groan in pain before falling to the ground with his skull broken. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing an artificial demon king. ''Ding, Gained 50 spirit points and primordial demon king bones. Soon, Ajax got the system notifications confirming the death of the demon king. ''Generally, a demon king should give at least 100 spirit points but he only gave 50 spirit points. Maybe it was because he was an artificial demon king.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he looked at the corpse of the demon king in the distance. ''What? A level 10 elite elemental general spirit killed a demon king? How is it possible?'' Rurbeak was shocked and looked at Volcanis and Ajax with great respect in his eyes. ''Since I can fight as well as him, I can prove my worth in refining the weapons. I need to prove the master did a good thing in choosing me as his follower.'' His previously buried goal of bing an Emperor grade weapon refiner surfaced in Rurbeak once again. He had more or less some intelligence and he also knew what he excels at. So, he decided to prove his worth by improving his skills in what he knew. ''Looks like the master has other elemental spirits. I have to prove my worth.'' As for Lurmer, he also decided to work hard on his weapon refining skills. In their entire lives, all they wanted to do was destroy the demons in their world that terrorized them for thest few decades and now, their master is killing the demons. So, they wanted to help him in some way. Even though they are currently not able to help him, in the future, they could repay him with their weapon refining skills. ''I wonder what is taking the other four demon kings toe here.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t know his followers'' thoughts and looked around for the other four demon kings. Even though they were far away and staying at different locations, they were stillte from Ajax''s perspective. So, he casually walked towards the demon king''s body and threw it into the inner world before asking the arcane green spirit turtle to refine the body. The arcane turtle nodded its head and started refining the body. ''Ding, The refinement of the artificial demon king''s body is started. It will take 30 minutes. Once the refinement started, Ajax got the system notification asking him to wait for 30 minutes. "System, show me the information about the demon bones." Since he had nothing to do until the demon kings and their armies arrived at this ce. So, he decided to check the information on the demon bones. ''Ding, Item name:- Demon bones. Grade:- King grade. Use:- They can be used to refine weapons and are rarely used in the making of the formations. ''Weapons? Good.'' Since he got the two-weapon refining followers, Ajax felt he got the item he needed. Moreover, those bones are King grade which can be used to refine the legend-grade weapon, and even if they failed, the refined weapon would end up bing a heaven-grade weapon. So, Ajax was satisfied with the demon bones. ''Other two metals'' information.'' Without wasting any time, he checked the information on the other two items. ''Ding, Item name:- Enraged earth metal. Grade:- Quasi-King grade. Use:- It can be used to refine weapons that temporarily increase the battle prowess of the user for some time. ''Ding, Item name:- Flying Obsidian. Grade:- King grade. Use:- It can be used to refine floating weapons and artifacts like flying vessels, flying swords and if there is sufficient flying obsidian, refining a flying castle is also possible. ''A King grade and a quasi-king grade metals?'' Ajax was surprised to see the grade of thest two items and shocked with the use of the ''Flying obsidian'' ''However, I can only refine a couple of flying swords or a dozen daggers. As for the flying vessel and the flying castle, I can only get my hands on them in the long future.'' Ajax didn''t keep his hopes high on the flying vessels and flying castles. ''Where did they go?'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt Rurbeak and Lurmer was not beside him and checked his surroundings. In the distance, amidst the corpses of the nearly a million demons, the two dwarves were picking the swords, spears, sabers, and shields. ''Looks like they didn''t like the weapons lying around like that.'' Ajax shook his head and allowed them to pick. He even sent his shadow clone who absorbed the demon corpses their shadows while pilling up the weapons at one ce. Not to mention, he also sent the puppet he got from Esmund''s battle tower. "I will just throw them in my inner world and when the timees, I can sell them off." That was the only thought in Ajax''s mind because he could guess there were more than a million weapons lying on the ground. So, except for selling them off, he could do nothing. Basically, all those weapons were refined by the grey dwarves of this world and even though the base metal was a low grade one, their weapon craftsmanship was excellent which would fetch a good price for him. "Master, these are the weapons that were not broken at all." Even though they had less battle prowess, they were very fast in picking the weapons from the ground, and within less than an hour, they piled all the weapons in front of Ajax. Earlier, when Volcanis attacks, half of the weapons in the demons'' hands were destroyed.? So, there were around half a million weapons that were still intact. "System, store them all in the inventory." With a thought, Ajax stored them in his inventory instead of the inner world because, in a single box of the inventory, the system could easily store millions of the same type of items. So, basically, it took only five boxes in the inventory. Even with that, there were still around a few more square boxes that were empty. "Master, should I give you the grade of the weapons we recollected from the demons?" Rurbeak asked with excitement as though he noted down everything. "Sure." Even though the system could show him the number of weapons he stores with different grades, he didn''t want Rurbeaks'' hard work to go for nothing. So, he nodded his head as he waited for the demon kings to arrive. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

"There are only five types of weapons with the demons and each variety was exactly 100000. So, total half-million low-level earth grade weapons." "Other than those half a million low-level earth grade weapons, there were 1000 high-level earth grade weapons for five varieties." "Also, there is one low-level heaven-grade sword and a dagger." Soon, Rurbeak gave the summary of the weapons inventory they collected from the demon army. "The low-level heaven-grade sword and dagger must be from the demon king." Hearing the weapon''s report from Rurbeak, Ajax nodded his head; however, he didn''t bother to check the attributes of the weapons because, in his current position, low-level heaven-grade weapons are not enticing enough for him to check their information. "By the way, I have some good materials for weapon refinement. Do you want to check them?" After finishing his words, Ajax didn''t wait for the grey dwarves to give any reply; instead, he directly took their items before giving them to Rurbeak and Lurmer. Rurbeak and Lurmer were excited as they nodded their heads because, in their eyes, Ajax was still a mystery for them, and waited for the materials. "Th...this is" "Th..these are.." Once they took the weapon refining materials, they started feeling the properties, and all of a sudden, they froze because they knew about the items in their hands. "These are king-grade items that could be useful for refining the legend-grade weapons." Lurmer recovered from his shocked state and said to Ajax. "Yes; however, this one is a quasi-king grade metal." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face while pointing at the Enraged earth metal. "Hm" Since they could only feel it with their hands without testing they were not 100 percent urate; however, quasi king grade metal is still very close to bing a king grade metal. "Why don''t you two tell me about this world?" Once he killed all the demon kings and their armies in the grey dwarf world, he could conquer this world. So, he decided to learn more about this world. "Before the demon kings invaded our world and killed our previous protector, there would be various kingdoms; however, the demon kings dissolved all kingdoms before turning all cities into small towns." Lurmer answered Ajax''s question with a sad look on his face as he paused to take a? small breath. "From that moment onwards, they made us ves and kept weekly targets for weapon refinement. If we didn''t reach the weekly targets in time, they would kill some of those who can''t refine." Seeing that Lurmer stopped speaking, Rurbeak continued as he clenched his fists because he lost his two little siblings because of that. "Currently, there are 100 towns simr to the one we used to stay in with an average poption of around 10000 in each town. So, there will be more or less one million grey dwarves." Rurbeak was angry. So, Lurmer continued and gave a rough estimation of the grey dwarves'' poption. ''Even if I kill all these demons, their boss maye here. So, is it a good thing to conquer this world?'' Ajax was having second thoughts about conquering the grey dwarves'' world. Currently, Ajax and his summons could kill regr low-level king realm beings; however, if a mid-level or high-level king realm being appeared, he could only run away. ''Ding, Actually, there is a way for the host to conquer the grey dwarves'' world and at the same time not to fear the invasion of the powerful beings. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised with a sudden system notification and hurriedly asked, ''What is it?'' ''Ding, The system didn''t know for sure but generally, every grey dwarves'' world has three artifacts and as long as they are merged, it could create a barrier that could even keep away the low-level demon emperors from entering the world. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when the system''s notification as he hurriedly asked the system to give more information. ''Ding, Once the host gains the three artifacts and gains the favor of at least 50 percent ofo the grey dwarves in the world, it would protect the world by an invisible barrier. ''Woah. So, there is such an item...no items in this world.'' Ajax''s worry regarding the conquering of the grey dwarves'' world lessened after seeing the system notification. "I want to be the protector of this world." Once he came to a conclusion, he said his inner thoughts to his two dwarf followers. "Really? That would be great, master." "Yes, master. This world needs a strong protector like you master." The two dwarf followers were excited as they nodded their heads with faces full of smiles. "However, to stop the invasion of the demon emperor, I want the three artifacts of the grey dwarves. So, do you know where they are?" Ajax didn''t show much of an expression on his face as he asked them about the artifacts. ''If there was a barrier, then how the hell would this world be conquered by the demons?'' The thing is, Ajax already knew about the previous protector and how he was killed by the demon kings; however, he still didn''t understand how demons were able to enter the world even with the protective barrier. Once they heard Ajax''s words, the two dwarves'' faces fell before Rurbeak replying to Ajax, "Currently, all three artifacts are forcefully taken by the demon kings and one of the three artifacts was broken a little." "Broken?" This time, Ajax frowned when he heard Rurbeak''s words because ording to the system, he needed all three artifacts to create the protective barrier. "Yes, master. In the fight with the protector against the demon kings, the protector used one of the artifacts to kill a couple of demon kings; however, in the process, that artifact was damaged a little." Lurmer backed Rurbeak''s words; however, he continued saying, "However, even with the damage, when the three artifacts were brought together, they could still create a barrier to protect us. For that, you need to get the acknowledgment of all the grey dwarves in this world." "Isn''t it easy to get the acknowledgment of all the grey dwarves?" After hearing Lurmer''s words, Ajax frowned as he asked them about it. Since he could save them from the demon kings and their armies, then, everyone should believe him, right? At least that''s what Ajax thought in his head. ''Ding, The quest tab generated a new mission for the host. Please check it. ''Huh? Another mission? How many missions do you want to give me?'' Ajax frowned with the system notification regarding the new mission and moreover, he could guess what the mission was about. However, he felt it was an easy task because he assumed that once he killed all the demon kings in front of all the grey dwarves, then who would not acknowledge him as their protector? "Master, do you know who many grey dwarves had acknowledged the previous protector?" While Ajax felt that the acknowledgment of the grey dwarves was easy, Lurmer asked Ajax with a respectful look on his face. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1065: Illusion Realm

"80 percent? Or 90 percent?" Since Lurmer was asking about it, Ajax felt that the previous protector must have not gained 100 percent of acknowledgment from the grey dwarves. However, he felt that he must have a lot of grey dwarves supporting him; otherwise, why would he leave his life for them? "It''s only 51 percent." Rurbeak said the correct percentage with a dejected look on his face. "What?" Ajax was shocked as he didn''t understand why it was so low. "Yes, master. It was only 51 percent which was just enough to be the protector of this small grey dwarves'' world." Soon, Lurmer started exining, "And the reason why the demon kings were able to enter this world was because of less acknowledgment from the grey dwarves who were dissatisfied with their previous protector who made them work like ves too." "He used to take all the weapons refined by us and sell them to other worlds and the demon kings who were lying in wait for the protective barrier around the world to weaken rushed at the moment it weakened." Lurmer became a little angry as he exined everything that happened to the grey dwarves'' world. ''Sigh... these grey dwarves are really stupid and easy to fool.'' Ajax could not help but sigh after hearing Lurmer''s exnation. The moment these grey dwarves saw a kind looking king realm expert, they made him their protector; however, with time, they started having trust issues with the protector which decreased the power of the protective barrier. When Ajax thought about it, he was a little speechless; however, in the end, he concluded them as stupid. However, when Ajax thought about how much the previous protector had exploited them, no matter what, the grey dwarves would lose their faith in the protector. Moreover, because of the mistake of the previous protector, Ajax understood the difficulty of making all the grey dwarves acknowledge him as their protector is very high; however, he was not in a hurry to give up on the grey dwarves'' world. "Let the demon kingse here. I will show the entire grey dwarves how powerful I am." Ajax wanted to show how powerful he was as a part of his n and as for how to make them fully acknowledge him as their protector, he had other ns. "Once I defeat the remaining four demon kings, I will take the three artifacts and announce myself as the protector. Let''s see how many grey dwarves will ept me as their protector." Ajax always liked challenges as he revealed a slight smile on his face before saying those words to the two dwarf followers. "Don''t worry, maser. We will try our best in convincing as many members as possible." Lurmer and Rurbeak ced their short hands on their hearts as they said those words. "I will rely on you then." Ajax could totally use their help because it would be easier if a grey dwarf promotes him. Even though all the grey dwarves could not see his fight with the demon kings, Ajax was not worried. As long as he gains the three artifacts from the demon kings, it proves him as a qualified protector. ''Anyway, let''s check the new mission and the bestialw stone.'' Soon, he put all those thoughts away and focused on the new mission and the bestialw stone. ''Ding, Mission name:- Pure Protector Requirement:- The host has to be a protector of this smaller world ''Grey dwarves'' world'' with 100 percent acknowledgment. Mission reward:- One smaller world''s world core. ''What? The reward? is a world core?'' Ajax was shocked to the core when he saw the mission reward and finally felt the pressure from the mission. Even though the mission was the same as what he had expected, the mission reward waspletely out of his expectations. With a single world core, his cultivation would be increased by a single minor realm, and to get a single world core, he had to conquer an entire world. However, now the system was giving him a world core as a reward. So, he understood the mission''s difficulty was not as easy as he thought it would. ''For this mission, I have to try my best.'' Even before he saw the reward, Ajax decided to be the protector of the world at any cost and now there was a huge reward for it. So, why would he leave the mission without giving his best? To try his best, he needed to get the three artifacts, and to get those three artifacts, he had to wait for the demon kings who were yet to show up. ''System, show me the bestialw stone. Other than waiting for the demon kings, Ajax could only waste some time by checking his pending things. ''Ding, Item name:- Bestialw stone. Effect:- It helps a spirit beast to learn the bestialw stored inside it. Bestialw:- Illusion realm. Note:- A bestialw stone can only be used by a spirit beast. ''Oh. It is an illusion realm bestialw.'' Ajax was satisfied with the bestialw and already thought to whom he should give this bestialw stone. ''Ghost will definitely like this. I wonder what he is doing?'' Thinking about the four-eyed ghost fox, Ajax could not help but release a long sigh; however, he knew he could meet him soon. After that, Ajax started finishing some minor works in the inner world before resting on the ground. .... In the underground pce of the royal family, the inner section of the cursed wilderness, Zrochester province. "Master, what should we do?? It''s been nearly 45 days since we entered this province; however, there was not a single trace about the mutated spirit crane." In a huge hall that was lit up with glowing stones, one of 10 middle-aged men asked the old man sitting in the center of the room. "I know." The old man didn''t open his eyes as he casually nodded his head. "So, what should we do now, master? Sitting here and doing nothing will only make the dragon master even more angry." Another middle-aged man said to the old man in a respectful attitude. "Also, all the young ones are bored after sitting in this underground pce for 45 days. Their hands are itching to do something." Soon, one after another middle-aged men started saying their concern; however, everyone still maintained their respectful look in their eyes. "Sigh" Finally, the old man could not help but sigh because he was also tired of waiting for the mutated spirit crane and wasting everyone''s time in this underground pce by doing nothing. After entering the underground pce, they created various formations to sense the mutated spirit crane in the Zrochester province. No matter where the mutated spirit crane was, they could see it; however, for some reason, they were unable to see the mutated spirit crane and continued to wait hoping the mutated spirit crane might appear. "Let''s wait for another 15 days before leaving this province. Inform this to your disciples." After thinking for a moment, the old man replied to the middle-aged men around him. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1066: Protector''s advisor, Small Demon Crystal

In the ''Cursed Heaven'', A huge ape could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position with its eyes closed. He was none other than the primitive ape king that wanted to be Ajax''s brother. As for the reason why he wanted to be Ajax''s brother, even he didn''t have a single clue about it. However, there was some sort of connection with this inner soul that wants to stay close to Ajax and wants to protect him. From time to time, he was frowning as though he was unable to understand something; however, from time to time, he would reveal a slight smile as though he learned something. ''It''s been more than 45 days since young master Ajax left this cave. I wonder whether this primitive ape king learned the bestialw or not.'' No one knows when Nameless cultivator appeared in the ''Cursed Heaven'', but he observed the primitive ape king for a few minutes before going out of the cave. With the presence of the primitive ape king in the cave, Nameless cultivator was able to enter the town from time to time and started enjoying the mortal life. He missed that life for a couple of decades and he wanted to enjoy itpletely. Of course, he was careful in hiding his cultivation and face with some good items refined by Esmund. As for the Primitive ape king, he waspletely immersed in the cultivation of the bestial, and as long as he couldprehend one before Ajax came back, he could be Ajax''s brother which would keep his soul at rest. As for whether he learned the bestialw or not, except for himself, no one knows. .... In the Grey dwarves world. "Hey, did you know about the death of the fifth demon king Agron?" "What about him?" "I heard he and his entire army was killed by someone." "What?" "How do you know?" "How? I heard it from the demon general who came to collect the weekly tribute from our town; however, before he could give him, he and his underlings hurriedly rushed with the demon king''s summoning." In a small town, a group of young grey dwarves was conversing about the killing of the demon king. "Really? Did someonee to help us?" "I don''t know but I doubt whoever killed the demon king Agron might be killed because all four demon kings were forming an alliance to kill him/her." The young grey dwarf who had an all-knowing look on his face replied to the other young dwarves with a sad look on his face. "Sigh" After hearing the young dwarf''s words, everyone sighed because if four demon kings joined their hands, they would be very powerful and might take down a mid-level king realm cultivator. "Kids, it is time for your weapon refining test. I hope you will surprise me." Suddenly, an old dwarf shouted from a weapon refining workshop that made all the young grey dwarves rush into the workshop with excited looks in their eyes. ''I hope he will defeat the demon kings before taking the three artifacts and be our protector. This time, I will do my job as the protector advisor properly.'' The old grey dwarf looked in a specific direction as he silently thought to himself. ¡­.. Not only this town but most of the town had already got the information of the death of the demon king. Many are hoping that Ajax kills the other four demon kings and at the same time, they were also hoping that Ajax would not exploit like the previous protector after bing their new protector. Nevertheless, they wanted Ajax to kill the demon kings more because demon kings were more barbarous than the previous protector. ...¡­ ''What is taking them so long? Are you scared to fight me or what?'' As for Ajax, he didn''t have a single clue about the cultivators from the ''House of dragons'', his wannabe ape brother, and the hopes of the grey dwarves. The only thing he was focused on right now was to kill the demon kings before taking the three ancient artifacts of the grey dwarves. ''Ding, The demon king''s body ispletely refined by the Arcane green spirit turtle. ''Ding, The host received a small demon crystal. Please check more information by taking out the crystal. ''Huh? A demon crystal?'' Before the other demon kings coulde, the refinement of the previous demon king''s body was also finished. As Ajax didn''t know about it, he took it out of his inventory to check more information. ''Ding, Item name:- Small Demon Crystal. Effect:- It stores the pure demon energy in it. Storage:- 100 units / 100 Units. Note:- It is advisable to not use it any humans or spirit beasts as it willpletely turn them into demonic beings. More information:- In ancient times, these crystals were used as the energy for the puppets as demon energy will not affect them; instead, it will break the limits of the puppets.. ''Huh? For puppets?'' Ajax frowned for a moment before asking, ''So, what about me? I already have some mysterious demonic energy in me right? What happens if I absorb it?'' Even though the system said that he should not use it for humans or spirit beasts or elemental spirits, it didn''t tell him about himself. Even though he was a human, the energies like cursed energy or demonic energy would not affect him. Moreover, he could even use the mysterious demonic energy to use the demon form. So, he wanted to know whether he could use it for himself or should he just give the small demon crystal to the puppet. ''Ding, The mysterious demonic energy is adaptable with the being it enters too; however, the current demon energy, directly came from the primitive demon emperor and it is designed in a way that only demons could use that energy without any side effects. ''Oh'' Finally, Ajax understood thest system notification and didn''t try to do anything funny lest he turns into a demonic being without any brain. ''Since I have a peak level 10 elite general realm puppet, if I give this small demon crystal to it, will it be a king realm puppet?'' When he thought about it Ajax could not help but look forward to it. Earlier, in the system''s exnation about the ''Small demon crystal'', it said that the demon crystal will break the limits of the puppet. So, without any hesitation, Ajax summoned the puppet and opened a smallpartment in the back of the neck. ''Ding, The puppet is already filled with the essence of nature. Please deplete it before giving it another energy. Just as he opened thepartment where the spirit stones are ced in the puppet, he received a system notification asking him to deplete the essence of nature. ''Deplete it.'' As Ajax didn''tck the essence of nature or the spirit stones, he asked the system to deplete the energy. ''Ding, The entire energy is depleted in the puppet. Please give some energy for the puppet to start working. Soon, he got the system notification asking him to install the small demon crystal. ''Here it goes.'' With an expectant look on his face, Ajax tossed the crystal before closing thepartment. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1067: King-Grade Puppet

Chapter 1067: King-Grade Puppet

''Kacha'' As Ajax was expecting the puppet to be a King realm fighter, cracks started appearing on it which made Ajax frown. ''It looks like the demonic energy in the small demon crystal is higher than what the puppet can endure.'' Ajax shook his head in disappointment; however, deep down, somewhere in his heart, Ajax was expecting a miracle to happen. So, he continued to watch the puppet which might turn into pieces any time now. "Human, how dare you enter this world without our permission." All of a sudden, a majestic voice came from the distance and along with it, the sound of the marching demon armies could be heard by Ajax. "So, you are finally here. I am bored waiting for you, four demon bastards." Ajax was already annoyed with the puppet that was about to be broken and adding to the fact that the demon kings arrived veryte, he directly cursed them. "Damn you, human." "How dare you call us bastards?" "Everyone, kill him and those two little dwarves." Soon, the four demon kings were enraged with Ajax''s words and ordered their demon armies to kill Ajax. Even though Ajax only had the cultivation of level 6 general realm, he was able to wipe the entire army of the fifth demon king along with the demon king himself. So, they didn''t want to give any chance for Ajax to use his skills; instead, they pushed their full armies towards Ajax. "Right now, I am very angry and not in a mood to y with you and your armies. So, I will? just finish this as soon as possible." Other than an annoyed look on his face, Ajax didn''t have fear or any other emotions and as soon as he finished his words, he summoned all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Every, I will give you two minutes and I want you to finish every one. Remember, not a single one should be escaped." After summoning them, Ajax activated his bloodline and gave a single order before observing the puppet on the ground. "Yes, summoning master." "Yes, master." As for his summons, everyone felt the rising power in their bodies and nodded their heads at Ajax before rushing towards the iing demon armies of the four demon kings. "Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids and Celestial fire realm, activate." Volcanic was the first elemental spirit to activate his two elementalws because he was waiting for the demon kings for a while. Following him, Cerauno, Ignis, Zen, Zan, and everyone who learned the elementalws and the bestialws activated theirws and started clearing the demon armies. Alder, the devourer eagle king, started fighting the first demon king, Twilight, the divine destructive twilight dragon selected the second demon, Volcanis and Ignis chose the third demon king. As for the fourth demon king, he became the target for the golden bear king father-son duo. ''Th...this is'' Ajax, who was observing the puppet, was surprised when he saw the cracks on the puppet start disappearing by the demonic energy from the small demon crystal. ''Is this what the system meant by breaking the limits?'' Ajax controlled his emotions as he slowly walked near the puppet that was still covered in demonic energy. ''Ding, The puppet''s rank is upgraded to low-level king grade. ''Ding, It can not fight the low-level king realm beings; however, its battle prowess will be less because of no cultivator or elemental or bestial soul in it. ''Excellent.'' Once he saw the two system notifications, Ajax was excited because finally, he got another king realm fighter under him. ''Even though he didn''t have a soul, it is still better to have something; instead, of not having anything.'' Ajax didn''t mind it; instead, he asked the system, ''So, how long can it fight?'' Generally, a puppet will only fight if it is supplied with some energy. So, Ajax wanted to have a rough estimation while fighting. ''Ding, With one small demon crystal, it could continuously fight for an entire month without any rest. If it only fights asionally, it willst for six months or even more. ''What are you waiting for? Go and take care of that demon king.'' Ajax was satisfied with the working efficiency of the puppet because, with just a single small demon crystal, it could fight for an entire month. And the next thing Ajax wanted to see was the battle prowess of the puppet. So, he tasked it with assisting the golden bear kings in the fight against the fourth demon king. Actually, it only took a single attack from the devourer eagle king and the divine destructive dragon to finish the first demon king and the second demon king. As for the third demon king, he put up a slight fight because dying from thebined attacks of Volcanis and Ignis. Only the golden bear kings were having a little problem as they ended up in a stalemate with the fourth demon king. So, Ajax asked the puppet to help them and as for the others who defeated the three demon kings, they were wiping out the rest of the demons. Overall, it only took less than a minute before the three demon kings had fallen and what''s more, they were not even able to activate their demonic souls. However, the golden bear kings were a little slow and the demon king they were fighting had activated the powerful demonic soul that appeared in front of him. It was absorbing all the reducing the attacks of the golden bear kings. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, the puppet appeared behind the huge demon king and kicked him on the head. ''Thud'' Just a single kick from the puppet was enough to make the demon king fall to the ground with his face on the ground. ''Holy heavens. His raw battle strength is more than this artificial demon king.'' Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect the demon king to fall to the ground with a single kick from the puppet. ''Aargh'' ''Golden bear king smash'' Even though the artificial demon king fell to the ground it was not enough for him to kill the demon king and seeing the right opportunity, the little golden bear used his powerful skill to smash the demon king''s head in the pulp. ''Swoosh'' As for the demonic king''s soul, it disappeared with the death of the demon king. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing four demon kings. Please clear the remaining demons as soon as possible. ''Ding, Rewards:- 200 spirit points. Ajax was still in shock at the puppet''s powerful skill and only woken up from it with the two system notifications. ''Only spirit points.'' Ajax shook his head when he saw the reward and walked towards the demon kings'' dead bodies to check for the three artifacts. As for the remaining demons, Ajax didn''t ask them to kill thempletely because they know what they have to do. ''Ding, The system detected a high-level demon kinging to this world. Find the three artifacts and be the protector as soon as possible. ''What?'' ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 700 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. . Chapter 1068: Ancient Trading Mirror

Chapter 1068: Ancient Trading Mirror

''What?'' Ajax got shocked by the sudden system notification and felt a slight fear in his heart. A high-level demon king could easily kill him and his summons. So, Ajax was frustrated at what he had to do now. ''Should I just leave this world?'' Ajax felt it was the best option. Even though there is another option in which he had to collect the three ancient artifacts of the grey dwarf world and be the protector with 100 percent acknowledgment from all the grey dwarfs. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission ''Kill the five demon kings in the grey dwarf world''. ''Ding, The host received 200 units of Sacred Astral Energy along with a ''World transmission talisman''. Just as he was thinking about what to do, he received a couple of system notifications informing him about the rewards for the previous mission. ''This is the reward I am waiting for.'' Seeing that reward, Ajax felt satisfied because the reason why he chose to finish this mission was because of the Sacred Astral Energy. Even though he didn''t know the system would give him 200 units of Sacred Astral Energy because the reward was ''Random units of Sacred Astral Energy''. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Space:- 380 units / 510 units. ''Not bad.'' He checked the total units of the Sacred Astral Energy in the Sacred Astral Space and nodded his head. "Master, these are the three ancient artifacts of the grey dwarf world." While he was checking the Sacred Astral Space, the two dwarf followers brought the three artifacts and gave them to him. ''Hm'' Nodding his head, Ajax took the first artifact which was an ancient-looking sword. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient protector sword. Grade:- High-level Legend Effect:- As long as the protector of the grey dwarf world gains the acknowledgment of all the grey dwarves, then he would be invincible in the grey dwarf world. Note:- If the acknowledgment decreases, the power of the protector in the grey dwarf world decreases. ''High-level legend grade sword? No wonder the effect is powerful.'' After checking the information on the sword, Ajax was surprised and overwhelmed with the effect of the sword. ''Next'' As Ajax knew he didn''t have much time, he hurriedly checked the information of the next artifact which was an ancient-looking shield. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient protector shield. Grade:- High-level Legend Effect:- As long as the protector of the grey dwarf world gains the acknowledgment of all the grey dwarves, then a barrier forms around the grey dwarf world that restricts the entrance of invaders without the permission of the protector. Note:- If the acknowledgment decreases, the power of the protector in the grey dwarf world decreases. ''Sword will increase the attacking power of the protector whereas the shield will create a barrier around the world. It is nice.'' After checking the shield''s information, Ajax came to the conclusion that artifacts are good to protect the grey dwarf world. With the help of the protector sword, the protector would be invincible only in the grey dwarf world and outside the world, it is just a low-level sword without any effects. As for the Shield, it would only create the barrier around the grey dwarf world. ''I think the third artifact might be the one that got damaged.'' Earlier, his dwarf followers had said that one of the three artifacts was a little broken and since the first two artifacts he checked were not broken, that would only means that thest artifact was the broken one. Soon, he picked the third artifact from Lurmer''s hand and it was a mirror that had some cracks on it. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient trading mirror (Broken). Grade:- High-level legend. Effect:- It can be used to trade the items between the smaller worlds. Note:- This item can only be used by the protector. ''What? A protector can trade with other smaller worlds with this mirror?'' Ajax was shocked by the information about the third artifact. The first two artifacts could help in protecting the grey dwarf world and as for the third artifact, it could be used to develop the world. ''But from the looks of it, the previous protector pocketed everything for himself instead of developing the world.'' Finally, Ajax understood why the acknowledgment of the previous pretector dropped to 51 percent. "Anyway, now I have to be the protector." Soon, he remembered the iing high-level demon king and without any hesitation, he dropped blood on three items. ''Ding, Binding the three ancient artifacts to the host is sessful. ''Ding, Please gain the acknowledgment of at least 50 percent of the grey dwarves in the world to be a protector. Just as he dropped the blood, the system sent a couple of system notifications. ''System, how much time will take for the high-level demon king to enter this world?'' Since there are more than one million grey dwarves in this world, Ajax wanted to know the time for the demon king''s arrival. Depending on the time, he would decide whether he should be the protector or not. ''Ding, It will only take less than five minutes. So, please hurry up in convincing all the grey dwarves. ''What? Less than five minutes?'' Ajax was shocked as he started thinking about it. ''Five minutes is definitely not enough to convince all grey dwarves.'' Ajax clenched his fists and looked at his surroundings. ''Wait.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and he looked at his summons. "Everyone, enter each and every dwarf town and inform them about the new protector." Even though what he was doing is slightly risky, Ajax wanted to try it out before giving up on the grey dwarf world. As long as he survives this ordeal, not only will he get a smaller world''s world core but he could be the protector of the grey dwarf world. So, without any hesitation, he asked all his summons to scatter in all directions to inform all the grey dwarves in this world. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." They noticed how serious Ajax was and didn''t dare to waste any time before rushing in all the directions. "Some of you, hop on to me." Alder, the devourer eagle king asked some of Ajax''s summons to mount him, and using his fastest speed, he dropped each one of them in a small town. As for convincing the grey dwarves, it would be the task of that summon. ''I hope it will work and I be a protector of this world. As long as I gain a minor realm increment in my cultivation, I can leave this world.'' Currently, Ajax was not expecting that he would get 100 percent of the acknowledgment from the grey dwarves. As long as he gains 50 percent of the acknowledgment, it would be enough for him to be the protector and then he couldplete the mission. ''As for saving this world, if I can''t get the 100 percent acknowledgment, then staying here would be a confirmed death for me.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he looked at the acknowledgment bar in front of him which started moving very slowly. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1069: Arrival of Igunuz

Ajax was not worried about the grey dwarves because the demon king would not kill the grey dwarves as they were like assets who would continue to produce weapons from their armies. So, he decided to leave if things were not favorable to him. Nevertheless, he focused on the acknowledgment bad in front of him. ''It''s already been two minutes but still, it only increased by 5 percent.'' Initially, Ajax was worried that the acknowledgment bar would not increase; however, now he was worried about the slow increment of the bar. ''At this rate, the high-level demon king would definitely enter the world before it could increase to 30 percent.'' Ajax muttered to himself and thought, ''I will also go and convince Rurbeak''s town.'' Since Rurbeak''s town was only a few kilometers away from his current location, Ajax decided to rush towards it. Previously, he asked his summons to leave that town as he wanted to go there personally. "Rurbeak, Lurmer, you two, go to the neighboring towns beside your town. I will go to your town and convince them." Still, there were two more minutes before the high-level demon king could enter the grey dwarf world. So, Ajax hurriedly ordered his two dwarf followers and rushed towards the town he wanted to convince. ''Lightning cloud steps, first effect, activate.'' "Swoosh" Without any hesitation, Ajax used his fastest speed to reach the nearby town within less than a minute. "Greetings, protector." The moment he entered the town, the old town leader and other grey dwarves bowed as they greeted him. ''Huh? They already acknowledged me as their protector?'' Ajax was shocked for a second; however, when he looked back in the direction he came, he understood what must have happened. ''Good.'' Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the acknowledgment bar in front of him. ''Ding, Acknowledged towns :- 23 / 100 (23 percent). ''What? 20 towns already?'' Even though it was less than half of what he required to be the protector of the grey dwarf world, Ajax was surprised with the huge increment in the acknowledgment. Before he rushed towards this town, it was only 2 percent, and by the time he reached it was 23 percent. So, within less than one minute, 21 towns acknowledged him as their protector. ''I will just rest here and let them take care of the towns.'' Finally, Ajax decided to rest in the current town because the next town is very far away from him. Moreover, he already doubted that they might have acknowledged him already. "Go and do your own work." Ajax didn''t want to worry the grey dwarves about the high-level demon king. So, he just asked them to do their own work. "Yes, protector." Even though they were confused why their new protector looked a little tense, they didn''t ask anything before going back to their work. ''While my summons does the convincing, I will check the additional reward I got from the mission.'' Earlier, along with the 200 units of the Sacred Astral Energy, he got another reward ''World transmission talisman''. Until now, he was in a hurry to check about it and since he was doing nothing now, he decided to check the usage of the talisman. ''Ding, Item name:- World transmission talisman. Effect:- Using it, the user can speak to everyone in the world. Be it spirit beasts or humans or other beings, they will be able to listen to what the user wants to say. ''What the hell?'' Once he saw the use of the World transmission talisman, Ajax got shocked for a moment before cursing himself. ''If I had only checked it when I got the reward, then I would have stayed worry-free.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he summoned the ''World transmission talisman''. Until a few moments back, Ajax was worrying about the arrival of the high-level demon king. So, he didn''t waste any time checking the information on the talisman. However, now, he could just use the ''World transmission talisman'' to inform everyone about him bing the protector. "Haha...so you are the one who got cursed with the Bronze demon king''s ''Demon''s prey'' curse." Just as Ajax was about to use the ''World transmission talisman'' to inform all the grey dwarves, he heard a burst of loudughter along with some words. ''Oh no. He is here.'' Without even looking in the direction of the voice, Ajax could say it was the high-level demon king that the system informed him of earlier. ''Damn it...what should I do now?'' Ajax started racking his brains as he once again heard the high-level demon king''s voice. "I have a deal for you." ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he heard those words; however, he tried to maintain the calm look on his face as he asked, "What is it?" "You destroyed my bronze demon world and the scourge demon world." "You killed my five servants along with their armies." "You tried to snatch my grey dwarf world right under my watch." "I don''t know how you are able to enter from one world to another with such a measly cultivation, but I will let you go on one condition." Igunuz, one of the five high-level demon kings under the primordial demon king, continued to say so many lines while taking small breaks. In the high-level demon king''s eyes, Ajax was just a level 6 general realm cultivator; however, he has powerful elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to help him in destroying his worlds. So, Igunuz kept an eye on his summons before asking Ajax a condition to let him leave this world. "What is it?" Ajax already guessed what the high-level demon king needed from him; however, he acted along with the high-level demon king while waiting for the acknowledgment bar to increase. 29 percent. 30 percent. 33 percent. 35 percent. The progress bar was increasing faster with each passing second. So, Ajax kept a calm look on his face as he asked about the condition. "Good. I like humans like you who are easy to talk with...Haha." With a crude chuckle, Igunuz said those words to Ajax. ''Where the hell is he?'' Even though Ajax could hear the high-level demon king''s words, he was unable to see him making Ajax a little bit annoyed. "I want to know the secret of how you are able to travel between the world and at the same time, you have to transfer your spirit contract with the divine dragon to me." Finally, Igunuz stated his condition as he waited for Ajax''s reply. "Huh? Didn''t you say you only have one condition? What you are asking about is counted as two conditions." Ajax got a rough understanding of Igunuz and his fear towards the demon king gradually decreased. So, he mocked the high-level demon king while talking about the two conditions. "Haha...so, you want to talk about logic? Good." As soon as he heard Ajax''s words, Igunuz became angry at Ajax and released his high-level demon king''s cultivation pressure. ''Aargh'' Ajax was just a level 6 general realm cultivator. So, how could he endure the cultivation pressure of a high-level demon king? With a painful groan, Ajax fell to the ground while coughing a mouthful of blood. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1070 - [Bonus ]Protector Ajax

#Bonus chapter All the grey dwarves around him were shocked when they saw their new protector fall to the ground while groaning and coughing blood. However, they were unable to move closer to Ajax as though some kind of powerful force was stopping them in their current standing ces. "So, are you willing to agree to my ''Single'' condition?" After making Ajax suffer for a few moments, the high-level demon king asked Ajax once again. "Y...yes." Ajax nodded his head weakly before standing up from the ground and at the same time, he didn''t forget to look at the acknowledgment bar in front of him which was close to 50 percent. Even though Ajax agreed to the high-level demon king''s condition, he didn''t have any ns to give away the spirit contract of his divine dragon or give away the secret of how he was able to travel multiple worlds so easily. A few powerful cultivators were able to find a method to transfer the spirit contract of either spirit beast or elemental spirit and that method could be done only by the powerful king realm beings like Igunuz. However, there was one condition for that method to be sessful and it was the willingness of the cultivator who owns the spirit beast and the elemental spirit. As for Igunuz''s second condition, it was to know how Ajax was able to travel many worlds. Even though he already knew that the devourer eagle king had the ability to open the portals to the nearby smaller world, there would be a time limit; however, Ajax was able to enter the two worlds within a single day. ''If I have an affinity with space or time, I would have asked for those two elemental spirits also.'' As a high-level demon king, Igunuz was able to sense all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Even though he was surprised by the wide range of elemental spirits under Ajax, he was not bothered about it. For him, as long as he could gain the ownership of the divine dragon, he could rece the current primordial demon emperor and be the ''Demon emperor with a divine dragon'' from the prophecy. That''s right! Igunuz was only an inch away from bing the demon emperor and he wanted to rece the current demon emperor; however, he knew that it would not be possible unless he owned a divine dragon. Also, even though he could kill Ajax and take the divine dragon using his power; however, it would be difficult for him to gain the acknowledgment of the divine dragon if he killed Ajax. So, he didn''t want to use force unless he had to. "So, ask your divine dragon toe back." Seeing that Ajax agreed to his ''Single'' condition, Igunuz rxed a little before asking Ajax to summon back his divine dragon. ''Ding, The host gained the acknowledgment of 50 grey dwarf towns. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing the Protector of the Grey dwarf world. Finally, the system notifications he was waiting for, had appeared in front of his eyes making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Ding, Mission "Be the protector" is sessfullypleted. ''Ding, The world core of a smaller world is stored in the host''s inventory. Please use it as soon as possible. Soon, another couple of system notifications appeared in his head. "While my divine dragones back, I will show you something." Ajax was still unable to pinpoint the high-level demon king''s exact location; however, he could waste more and more time. After finishing his words, Ajax took out the world transmission talisman, and at the same time, he took out the blue primeval defense fruit which he got from the primeval ent of the cursed wilderness. "Okay." Igunuz nodded his head as he allowed Ajax to do what he wanted to do while saying, "By the way, I forgot to mention, I closed the space around this world. So, don''t think of escaping to another world." "Why would I escape when you said you will let me live?" Ajax shook his head as he said, "Actually, there is an artifact that allows me to travel to other worlds without any time limit; however, I have to eat this fruit to keep my body intact because I am yet to be a king realm cultivator." While saying those words, Ajax ate the primeval defense fruit. ''Huh?'' Even though Igunuz felt something was not right with Ajax, he didn''t mind any powerful fluctuations from Ajax''s body. So, he didn''t bother much and asked, "Give me the artifact and tell me how to use it." Currently, Igunuz could only use his magical leaf to travel from one world to another world. Even though he was fast, it was notparable to the instant portal leading to the required world. So, he was adamant about getting the artifact that could instantly let him travel between the worlds. ''Once he gives me what I want, I will turn him into my ve. He will be a good spy in the greater human worlds.'' Igunuz promised Ajax that he would not harm his life; however, that doesn''t mean he would forget what Ajax did to his worlds. "Everyone, I am your new protector." However, Igunuz heard something that he didn''t expect he would be hearing, and before he could do anything, Ajax continued to say, "I want everyone''s acknowledgment as the protector. So that, I could fight this demon king bastard." These words continuously rang in the ears of each and every single grey dwarf. Ajax''s summons had already convinced 50 towns and they would be adding more than 25 towns if not for the appearance of the high-level demon king. However, because of the ''World transmission talisman'', they could finally rx. "Damn you...human. I thought to let you live; however, you are not sincere with your words." Igunuz became angry as he cursed Ajax while increasing his cultivation pressure. Even though the wordsing from the demon king''s mouth did not suit him, he was shameless enough not to bother about them. As for the huge cultivation pressure from the demon king, it showed no effect on Ajax, making Igunuz frown a little. "Since you want to die so badly, I will kill you myself." Although Igunuz felt something was not right regarding his cultivation pressure, he didn''t bother about it; instead, he directly appeared in front of him. "So, you are the high-level demon king." Finally, Ajax saw the high-level demon king who was hiding somewhere in space until now. "That''s right! I am Igunuz, the high-level demon king ranked third under the primordial demon emperor." Igunuz proudly introduced himself to Ajax and without wasting any time, he rushed towards Ajax with incredible speed. Igunuz didn''t bother to use his demonic soul because he felt it was not necessary to kill a general realm with full force. Nevertheless, he was ready to use his demonic soul if he failed his first attack. ''Hurry up and reach 100 percent soon.'' As for Ajax, he was looking at the acknowledgment bar and praying for it to increase. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1071: Becoming the True Protector

Chapter 1071: Bing the True Protector

After Ajax used the ''World transmission talisman'', the acknowledgment bar in front of him started increasing at an incredible speed. However, it was still far away from the 100 percent limit. So, Ajax could only hope that it would reach 100 percent. So that he could use the ancient protector sword to kill the high-level demon king. ''I hope I can withstand a couple of attacks from the demon king.'' Looking at the iing demon king who looked just like a human except for his blood-red eyes. ''Die'' Seeing that Ajax was not trying to dodge his attack, Igunuz frowned; however, he didn''t think much as he already decided to kill Ajax. As for the divine dragon, Igunuz could just take it away with him and torture it to death. ''Thud'' As a primordial demon king, Igunuz had a strong body and he excels in hand-to-handbat. However, just when his punch was about tond on Ajax, a thin barrier appeared out of nowhere and blocked his punch. ''Huh? What is that?'' Igunuz frowned when he saw the sudden appearance of the barrier. ''Kacha'' However, when he saw a crack appear on the barrier, Igunuz revealed an evil smile and said, "Let''s see whether your barrier will stop my second attack." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Igunuz directly appeared in front of Ajax before throwing another punch at him. ''Boom'' This time, the barrier that helped Ajax previously sted when the demon king punched it. ''Cough'' In the explosion, Ajax was the one who was sted into the distance and as for the demon king, he was having an evil look on his face as he slowly walked towards Ajax. ''Damn it...the fruit''s effect is already over?'' Ajax cursed the fruit; however, when he thought that the demon king in front of him was a high-level one, he shook his head. "Kid, do you have anyst words?" While walking towards Ajax, Igunuz asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully gaining 100 percent of the acknowledgment from all the grey dwarves and bing the true protector. ''Ding, The host can now use the ''Ancient protector sword'' and ''Ancient protector shield'' to protect the Grey dwarf world. Just as Ajax was gritting his teeth at the high-level demon king''s words, he received a couple of system notifications making him reveal an excited smile on his face. "What happened to you, kid? Why do you look so excited? Is it because you''re dying in my hands?" Igunuz frowned a little when he saw the excited smile on Ajax''s face; however, Igunuz was sure that Ajax was out of tricks. Even if he had any tricks, it would not be enough to kill a high-level demon king. So, he was not worried. However, what he didn''t know was that Ajax became a protector with 100 percent acknowledgment from all the grey dwarves. "I am excited because I am powerful enough to kill you now." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax summoned the ''Ancient protector sword'' and casually shed it at the high-level demon king who was slowly walking towards him. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''What?'' Before Igunuz could realize what was happening, the small but sharp sword wave made a deep cut in his abdomen. ''Did he be a protector with 100 percent acknowledgment?'' That was the first thought in his head as he looked at Ajax with a shocked look on his face. Generally, it would take a couple of weeks for someone to be a protector of the grey dwarf world because the protector candidate had to convince. As for gaining 100 percent acknowledgment, it would take months. So, Igunuz was shocked and thought about the ''World transmission talisman''. ''Is there more to that talisman that can easily convince anyone or is it because my servant demon kings tortured them a lot that they just wanted a protector so badly?'' As demons, they never liked to give a damn about other races. So, he didn''t regret the behavior of his servant demon kings. "What happened? Are you sleeping while standing?" Ajax mocked Igunuz as he slowly walked towards the demon king. ''I need to escape from here.'' With Ajax''s words, Igunuz came out of his thoughts and the first thing he thought about was to escape from this world. With that thought in his head, Igunuz didn''t hesitate anymore before summoning his magical leaf to fly away. Because right now, Ajax''s strength isparable to the Emperor realm''s cultivator and he was of course not a match for him. "You want to leave now? Why don''t you y with me?" Ajax controlled the ancient protector shield to fly behind Igunuz while saying those words to the demon king. "Damn you, human. You might be lucky this time; however, in the future when these grey dwarves start doubting you, I wille back to y with you." Igunuz cursed Ajax as he injected his demonic energy into the magical left to fly as fast as possible. Igunuz was sure that the acknowledgment of the grey dwarves towards Ajax would be decreased soon. "You want to y another time? But I want to y with you now." How could Ajax allow the high-level demon king to leave just like that? If he left him now, he would go back and inform the demon emperor and if the demon emperor arrives here, then this grey dwarf world would be destroyed for sure. Even though Ajax was equivalent to an emperor realm cultivator inside the grey dwarf world, he could not go against a real demon emperor head-on without causing a lot of damage. So, he didn''t want that to happen when he still had the chance to avoid it. "With your speed, you are not going to catch me¡­.Haha" Seeing that Ajax''s shield was flying very slow, Igunuz was able to heave a sigh of relief, and his confidence to escape the grey dwarf world had increased to another level. So, he didn''t waste the chance to mock Ajax''s flying speed. "Really? To catch you, should I have to fly behind you?" All of a sudden, Ajax stopped the ancient protector shield and scoffed at the escaping high-level demon king. ''Ancient protector shield, it is time for you to shine now.'' While saying those words, Ajax used the shield to create a protective barrier around the grey dwarf world. ''Let''s see how you are going to escape now...Hehe.'' With a dark smile on his face, Ajax looked at the escaping Igunuz who turned into a dot as he flew further and further. However, Igunuz had totally forgotten about the protective barrier; instead, he rushed out of the grey dwarf world at an incredible speed. ''Everyone,e back.'' Ajax stopped worrying about the Igunuz because he knew that Igunuz would not be able to escape this grey dwarf world without his permission. So, he asked all his summons toe back. ''Boom'' Just as he asked his summons toe back, a huge explosion urred in space. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1072: Primordial Demon kings Blood Essence

Chapter 1072: Primordial Demon king''s Blood Essence

"Looks like he will being back soon?" As the true protector of the grey dwarf world, Ajax could sense the fluctuations of the protective barrier and sensing the huge explosion in space, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''Until hees down, I will just increase my cultivation.'' Since the system suggested he use the smaller world''s world core as soon as possible, he decided to use it without wasting any more time. ''Ding, The host used the smaller world''s world core. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has increased to level 7 general realm. As Ajax got used to the feeling of increasing his cultivation with the help of the world cores, he didn''t feel anything new. ''Swoosh'' Just as he increased his cultivation, Ajax saw something falling down from the sky. ''He is here.'' With a slight smile on his face, he used the ''Anceint protector shield'' to fly towards the falling body. "D..damn you...hu..human." "Huh? You are still alive?" By the time Ajax reached the falling body, it had already reached the ground. Moreover, he was shocked to see the high-level demon king was still alive. That''s right! He was none other than Igunuz, the high-level demon king who wqas trying to escape from Ajax forgetting that Ajax could now activate the protective barrier. The protector barrier would not only restrict the entry and exit of anyone without Ajax''s permission but it would also st away someone who was using force to enter the world or exit the world. So, when Ajax saw that the high-level demon king was still alive even after receiving an attack from the protective along with falling from such a great height. "No wonder, the primordial demons are called Great body cultivators." While saying those words to Igunuz, Ajax jumped into the crater. ''...'' Igunuz was barely able to breath and he already cursed Ajax a few moments ago. So, he only looked at Ajax with an angry look in his eyes. "Sigh¡­. Seeing you in this condition, my heart is unable to bear it." Even though Ajax said those words, the demon king felt that Ajax was making fun of him. Earlier, when he entered this grey dwarf world, he acted mighty and all. However, now, he was in a crater with barely any life left in him. "Don''t worry...I will put you away from your misery." As though he was doing a kind act, Ajax took out his ancient protector sword and walked towards the demon king. "However, before that, do you have any final words?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax continued, "Earlier, you were so kind and gave me the chance to say my final words. So, I will do the same." "Y...you" Igunuz was so angry at Ajax''s words; however, he was in no position to move even his finger, not to mention fight back. "Sigh...why can''t you take my kindness and look at me like that?" Ajax sighed as he shook his head and said, "Fine then. I hope you don''t cross my path in your next life." ''Puchi'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax lightly stabbed the ancient protecotr sword into the demon king''s body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing his first high-level king realm cultivator. ''Ding, Rewards:- 1000 spirit points, small demon crystal x 10 and a drop of Primordial demon king''s blood essence. Since the high-level demon king was barely alive, all it took for Ajax was to stab the demon king once before he got the system notifications. ''Rewards are good.'' Ajax nodded his head at the rewards and stored the high-level demon king''s body in the inner world. Currently, the universal furnace on the turtle''s back was still refining the artificial demon king''s bodies. So, he could only wait until their refinement was finished. ''Let''s see the use of this primordial demon king''s blood essence.'' Soon, Ajax came out of the crater and checked one of the rewards. As for the small demon crystal, it was not a new item for him. So, he didn''t bother to check it. ''Ding, Item name:- Primordial demon king''s blood essence. Effect:- Consuming it will help the demonic beings to awaken a primoridal demon''s bloodline. Note:- It is limited to demonic beings only. ''Hm....only for demonic beings?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before thinking about the three demonic beasts in his inner world. ''However, whom should I give this drop to?'' Just like always, Ajax was having a difficult time in selecting whom he should give the resources. ''Should I just share the drop among three demonic beasts?'' Ajax thought of something; however, he didn''t know whether it would have any effect on the demonic beasts if he divided it into three portions. ''System, do you know about it?'' Finally, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, It is possible to divide a drop of blood essence into three equal portions; however, the effect of that blood essence will be dropped by one-third of its original effect. ''Ding, If the host ns to divide the blood essence now, he can always finally more drops of the blood essence in the future to increase the bloodline of the demonic beasts. ''Really?'' Once he saw the two system notifications, he was excited and replied to the system, "Thank you, system." "Now, divide it into three portions and give it to me." Soon, he gave his next order to the system and at the same time, he summoned the three demonic beasts from the inner world. ''Screech'' ''Roar'' ''Sii'' As soon as they were summoned, they were excited while letting out joyful sounds and looked around; however, soon, they were disappointed. Because they were expecting, their master summoned them to either fight or eat; however, there was no one to fight or not anything to eat. "Come here, little ones." As for Ajax, he shook his head seeing their disappointment before calling them. "Eat" Ajax didn''t say much before asking them to eat the tiny ck-coloured pills in his hands. ''Screech'' ''Roar'' ''Sii'' Once they saw the three tiny pills in Ajax''s hands, they were excited before letting out joyful sounds once again. Without wasting any time, they swallowed them. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they consumed, a ck-coloured mist emitted from them and soon, the three demonic beasts fell to the ground. ''Huh? They have started growing?'' Even though it was very small, Ajax was able to notice it. All three of them were growing in size and the dark mist also started growing. ''Looks like it will take time.'' From a look, Ajax could tell that it would take some time before those three demonic beasts could wake up. So, he simply stored them back into the inner world. Actually, there was another reason why he stored them in the inner world because if the grey dwarves see him with the demonic beasts, they would start doubting him and reduce their acknowledgement towards him. ''I hope all three of them awaken a demonic bloodline.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked towards the nearby town. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1073: [Bonus Chapter]New Problem

Chapter 1073: [Bonus Chapter]New Problem

After a few hours, Currently, Ajax was sitting in an open ground on a simple looking chair that was made up of some rare metal. In front of him, there were 100 old grey dwarves and beside him, there were three grey dwarves, one young, one middle-aged and one old. "Protector, thanks for saving us from those demons." All the old grey dwarves bowed to Ajax as they thanked him. "Even though I protected you from the five demon kings, your three ancient artifacts and your faith in me as a protector helped me defeat the high-level demon king." Ajax nodded his head as he replied to the 100 old grey dwarves who stood in a 10 x 10 order. What he said was right. If not for the grey dwarves'' absolute faith in him, he would not be the true protector and he had to escape. "Advisor Tunmil, can you give me brief information about the weapon refinement capacity and capacity of the 100 towns?" In the next moment, Ajax asked the old dwarf beside him. He was an advisor for the previous protector and he med himself for not doing his job properly even when did everything he could. However, the previous protector became greedy with time and there was nothing he could do about it. Nevertheless, he wanted to guide the new protector and try his best not to be Ajax like the previous protector. "Protector, there is basically no difference in town except for a small change in poption." The old dwarf turned his face towards Ajax and started exining, "In every town, there is a weapon refiner who can refine at least one low-level heaven grade weapon or artifact per week; however, by doing so, they will be tired and exhausted." "So, I suggest to the protector that it is better if you allow them to rest the alternate week¡­." "Huh? Wait a second." Ajax frowned when he heard the old dwarf''s world and interrupted him. "Why the hell do you need to refine daily?" Ajax asked the old advisor while looking at the 100 old dwarves in front of him. Even though the dwarves like refining the weapons and the artifacts, that doesn''t mean they have to refine them daily, right? So, Ajax asked about it. "It is because the protector doesn''t only have the job to protect the grey dwarf world but he has to develop this world too and to do that, the protector needs to gather more and more resources rted to world development." "Since we all excel in refining the weapons, the previous protector used the ''Ancient trading mirror'' to sell the weapons we refined to other smaller worlds in exchange for those world development items. At least that''s what we thought; however, he exchanged all the weapons we refined for the cultivational resources to increase his cultivation...sigh." By the end of his exnation, the old dwarf Tunmil clenched his fists before releasing a long sigh. ''What a fool. He would have just developed this world instead of preferring his own cultivation.'' After learning about the previous actions, Ajax mocked him because as long as he developed the smaller grey dwarf world into a normal grey dwarf world, he could exchange items with normal worlds. ''He was such a short-sighted person. I wonder how he became a king realm being?'' Ajax wondered about the previous protector and asked the old man, "Which race does this previous protector belong to?" "I don''t know whether you believe us or not, protector, he belongs to the great titan race." Tunmil looked at Ajax for a brief second while answering his question. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard the old dwarf''s reply and felt it was unbelievable. It is because the great titan race belongs to one of the most powerful races in the entire universe. Moreover, when he imagined how short-sighted a great titan member was, his view on the great titans had changed. ''It is possible to have defects in everyone, there is no exception for the great titan race also.'' Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the previous protector. Even though he had many questions as to where did the great titan hade from? and why would he bother with such a smaller world? And many more. At the same time, he also understood why all the grey dwarves acknowledged the previous protector easily. Generally, with a high race protector, all the grey dwarves thought their world would be developed soon. What they didn''t expect was that the great titan was a very greedy and short-sighted one who only cared about his own cultivation. Even though the protector could be almost invincible in the grey dwarf world, when he was outside the world, he had to rely on his original cultivation. So, the great titan being was doing everything he could to increase his cultivation. "So, the previous protector asked you to refine daily?" "Yes, protector." "Then, what is the difference between him and the demon kings?" Ajax scoffed at the previous protector who took everything for granted and made the grey dwarves as ves. "If he doesn''tplete the target, then he will just scold us and in the worst case, he will beat us; however, the demons will directly kill the children and those who can''t refine the weapons or artifacts." Even though Ajax was not expecting the old dwarf to reply to his question, the old dwarf still exined the difference between the previous protector and the demon kings. "Sigh" Ajax felt pity looking at the dwarves in front of him and shook his head before saying, "Everyone, listen to me. From today onwards you don''t have to force yourself to refine and I will not set any deadline. You can refine whenever you want and you can rest whenever you want." ''What?'' The 100 old dwarves in front of Ajax along with the advisor and his two followers were shocked when they heard Ajax''s words. "As you know, the ''Ancient trading mirror'' is broken a little and I can''t trade anything with other smaller worlds. Even if it was good, I will not force you to refine." Soon, Ajax gave his orders and exined that he would not force them as the new protector of the grey dwarf world. "Protector, there is another thing I have to mention to you." Suppressing his shock from Ajax''s previous words, the old advisor Tunmil looked at Ajax as he continued, "The five demon kings used some kind of evil artifact to destroy all the farnds of this world and currently, we are running low on food. So, we need to repair the ''Ancient trading mirror'' as soon as possible to started trading for food to keep everyone alive." ''What?'' This time, it was Ajax''s turn to be shocked and finally understood how cruel the demons could be. "Yes, Protector. With the recent supplies we got from the demon kings, if we use it sparingly, we canst for a month." Tunmil nodded his head as he replied to Ajax with a bitter look on his face. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1074: Protector of the World

Chapter 1074: Protector of the World

''These demons are so cruel.'' Ajax cursed the demon kings for destroying the farnds and making the dwarves rely on them for food. ''Moreover, from the looks of it, the demon kings intentionally damaged the ''Ancient trading mirror''.'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax doubted the damage done to the third artifact. "Ahem" Soon, Ajax cleared away his thoughts and asked the old advisor, "So, what do you eat?" Since he is the protector, it is his responsibility to protect the grey dwarves. So, he wanted to know what they would eat in order to gather those food resources. With the devourer eagle king''s ''Portal creation'' ability, Ajax could easily gather them. At least that''s what he thought to himself. Moreover, there is still one month before the grey dwarves need food and coincidentally the devourer eagle king could open a portal on the 29th day from today. ''If only I could travel back to the grey dwarf world from the purple stone world, then it would have cleared this problem.'' Currently, Ajax could use a ticket to go back to the Purple stone world; however, he could not back because he didn''t have another grey dwarf world ticket to travel back. So, he could only put his ns to go back to the Purple stone world on hold for a while and resolve the problems in his world. ''Ding, Please check the effects of the new title ''Protector of the world''. Just as he was in his thoughts while waiting for the old advisor''s reply to his question, he received a system notification that made him look expectant. "Protector, we only eat spirit beast meat and all kinds of wine." Ajax was about to check the effect of his new title; however, he heard the old advisor answer his earlier question. ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned with the old advisor''s reply and he was about to ask his doubt before he heard the old advisor reply, "Protector, you must be wondering about the farnds and the meat, right?" "Yes" Ajax nodded his head. The thing is, the old dwarf said that the demon kings destroyed the farnds from growing anything in them; however, in the next moment, the same dwarf said they would only eat meat. So, he was confused a little. "Other than refining weapons, a small portion of us tend to crops and another small portion rear the rank 1 and rank 2 spirit beasts. Those spirit beasts will eat the crops we grow andter, we eat them." The old advisor gave a simple reply making Ajax nod his head. "What about humanoid spirit beasts?" Ajax put a hold regarding his title and asked Tunmil. Currently, there was a Storm werewolf world king world and the Obsidian naga world. The beings living in the Obsidian naga world were mostly all humanoid serpents. So, Ajax wanted to know the preference of his grey dwarves. "Only spirit beasts'' meat, protector." The old dwarf replied without wasting any time. "Okay. Don''t worry about your food, I will take care of it; however, you still need to use the food in your inventories sparingly." Ajax promised them not to worry about the food and continued saying, "For the next 30 days, you can take rest as I can see you are very tired." He decided to let them have rest for now because only when the grey dwarves are in their peak condition, they could create miraculous weapons. Moreover, Ajax was sure that no matter what he says, once the grey dwarves take enough rest, they would naturally go back to their weapon refining. "Thank you, protector." All the 100 grey dwarves fell to their knees as they hurriedly thanked Ajax because all they needed now was time to recover their strength. Their eyes were filled with tears as it''s been the first time they had such a kind protector. "It''s not a big issue. Now, go back and take a rest. Also, don''t forget to tell everyone to rest." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked them to go back to their town. By resting, the food consumption by the grey dwarves would be lessened. This was another reason why he asked them to rest. "Protector, what about me? Do you have any orders for me?" Tunmil, who was beside Ajax, asked him. "Wait for a few minutes." Ajax asked him to wait while he asked the system, ''System, show me the effects of my new title.'' ''Ding, Title name:- Protector of the world (100 percent). Effect:- 1) 100 percent increase in the battle prowess of a selected summon for a time period of 10 minutes with a cooldown of one year. Note:- The percentage in the battle prowess decreases with the decrease in the acknowledgement from the protector world''s inhabitants. 2) The protector can create a permanent teleportation circle for a single smaller world every 100 years. 3) No matter which world the protector is in, he could instantly teleport back to the protector''s world with a thought. Note:- One he used the instant teleportation to the protector''s world, he had to wait for an entire year before using it again. Soon, theplete information on his new title appeared in front of him that made him shocked for a few seconds before it turned into excitement. ''This is useful.'' Even though each effect of the title had a long cool-down period, Ajax could use them in case of emergency. ''If Alder gets the 100 percent boost along with the three times boost from my bloodline in his battle powers, he can take down mid-level king realm beings.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''For the second effect, I have to find a suitable smaller world for the grey dwarf world to supply a steady-state of food for them. So that they couldpletely focus on refining the weapons.'' Ajax kept the second effect of the title in mind because he had to find another smaller world sooner orter. If it was an evil world, he would destroy it and if it was not an evil one, he would make it his second world. ''As for the third effect, it is the right one for me to use now.'' When he saw the third effect, Ajax stopped worrying about the spirit beast meat for the grey dwarf world in the short term. ''I can go back to the purple stone world and with the help of the third effect of my new title, I can easilye back.'' Ajax became excited as he stood up from the chair and stretched his body a little. "Advisor, I will be staying away from this world for a while. I hope you can manage everyone. My two followers will help you." Ajax briefly said that he would be going out of the world to gather the food resources for them. "I will do my best, protector." The old dwarf replied with a serious look on his face before walking away with Ajax''s two followers. ''For now, I can just go back to the purple stone world and take revenge on the assassin sect.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he thought about his revenge. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 800 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1075: Returning to the Zrochester province

Chapter 1075: Returning to the Zrochester province

Finally, Ajax thought it''s time to finish his revenge with the assassin sect. Not only they massacred the innocent children from the Orphanage but they tried multiple assassinations on him. Until now, he was waiting for his strength to increase as he didn''t want any mishaps to happen while going against the assassin sect. However, now, he had the full confidence in going against them and even if other sects wanted to help them, he could take care of them too as he didn''t have a good opinion on the other two sects too. ''Even if I can''t summon Alder because of the restrictions in the Zrochester province, Twilight and others will take care of anyone in the Zrochester province other than Protector Olek, of course.'' After conquering a few smaller worlds, Ajax''s confidence increased in his revenge against the assassin sect. ''If not for the human''s greediness and craftiness, I would have conquered the Zrochester province and even if I conquered it, I would be the enemy in the eyes of the powers from the other provinces.'' He had his reasons by not setting his eyes on conquering the Zrochester province. In conquering that province, there were so many negativespared to the gains he would get. "It''s time to reveal my true powers to the Zorcheter province." With an evil smile on his face, Ajax asked the system, ''System, it''s time to go back to the Purple stone world.'' ''Ding, Consumed the Purple stone world ticket. ''Ding, Opening the portal to the previous location of the host in the Purple stone world. As soon as he gave the order to the system, the system opened the portal to the Purple stone world. ''Swoosh'' Without thinking much, Ajax jumped into the portal. Ajax didn''t worry much about the grey dwarf world because currently, the barrier around the world is still active and no one could enter through it unless he gives permission. The only thing he worried about was the food and it would be solved after he finished his revenge against the assassin sect as he could enter the cursed wilderness to kill some mindless spirit beasts. ...¡­ In the Zrochestor province, ''Swoosh'' A few kilometers away from the cursed heaven, a portal opened in a silent and cold surrounding. From the portal, Ajax walked out and without thinking much, it walked towards the cursed heaven. ''I wonder whether he was able to awaken a bestialw or not? Even if he doesn''t awaken, I can let him be my brother.'' While walking towards the cursed heaven, Ajax muttered to himself about the Primitive ape king. Even though the primitive ape king didn''t know why he wanted to be Ajax''s partner without a spirit contract, Ajax had a rough understanding and it was rted to when his spirit consciousness entered into the soul space of the primitive ape king. The primitive ape king''s soul left its scents on his spirit consciousness making the ape king treat Ajax as his brother. As a brother, how could he define their bond with a spirit contract? That''s the reason why the primitive ape king didn''t want to be a contracted spirit beast for Ajax; however, he didn''t mind giving his life for Ajax. So, Ajax decided to allow the primitive ape king to treat his partner; however, he still had one condition and it was that the primitive ape king should be still in the cursed heaven. "Young master." It didn''t take much time for Ajax to reach the entrance of the cursed heaven when he heard a familiar voice from the other side of the mist. "Senior Nameless." It was none other than Nameless cultivator who became Ajax''s follower before leaving the Purple stone world. "How are you?" Ajax asked Nameless cultivator as they both walked into the cave. "I am enjoying the life I lost previously thanks to you, young master." With a respectful look on his face, Nameless cultivator replied to Ajax and while saying those words, he was a little bit excited. If he didn''t suppress his excitement, it would have been even more; however, he tried his best to look as calm as possible in front of Ajax. "Good." Even though he tried his best to suppress his excitement, Ajax could easily notice how excited Nameless cultivator was. So, he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face before saying, "So, where is my wannabe partner?" "He should be in the center of this cave, young master." Thest time Nameless cultivator saw the primitive ape king, he was sitting in the center of the cave. So, he thought he would be in the same ce. Soon, Nameless cultivator guided Ajax to the center of the cave. In the center of the cave, a huge white-furred ape was sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed. "Brother." The moment Ajax'' eyesnded on the white ape, it opened its eyes and greeted Ajax with a smile. "Huh? So, you alreadyprehended a bestialw, right?" Looking at how confident the primitive ape king looked, Ajax could guess that it must haveprehended the bestialw. "No, brother." However, the reply he got was different as the primitive ape king casually replied that he didn''t learn a bestialw. Actually, learning a bestial in a month is almost impossible and even if the spirit beasts were given a few years to awaken the bestialw, they might not be able to awaken a single bestialw. Initially, Ajax didn''t expect that the primitive ape king would learn any bestialw; however, when he saw the confident look in the primitive ape king''s eyes, Ajax thought he might be wrong. Nevertheless, in the end, he was right from the beginning that it is impossible for the primitive ape king to learn a bestialw within such a short time. "Okay then. You can go on your way." Even though Ajax decided to allow the primitive ape king to follow him without any contract, Ajax didn''t want things to be easy for the primitive ape king. So, he put up an act while asking the primitive ape king to leave the cave. "As I said already, you have to kill me; otherwise, I will continue to you follow you" Generally, the primitive ape kings have thick skin and they could be shameless; however, the current primitive ape king in front of him had the next level of shamelessness and thick skin. "So, are you sure about it?" All of a sudden, Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he slowly walked towards the primitive ape king. "Huh?" The primitive ape king frowned when he saw the evil smile on Ajax''s face and thought in his head, ''He will not do anything to me. I know that. I can feel it.'' Even though the Primitive ape king acted like he didn''t care for his life, he was scared to die; however, he tried to convince himself that Ajax was not going to kill him. "If you think I am not going to kill you, then you are wrong." With a thought, Ajax summoned his inheritance sword as he continued to walk towards the primitive ape king. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1076: [Bonus Chapter]Messed Up Primitive Ape King

"Do you dare to receive my single sword move without using any defensive skill or techniques?" Ajax asked the primitive ape king with an eye smile while stopping exactly three steps from the ape king. Currently, Ajax has a grade 5 sword and along with the special ''Mountain splitting sword technique'', Ajax could easily kill anyone under the King realm who didn''t have the respectivew. Moreover, the primitive ape king would not be using any defensive moves to defend himself which makes it easy for Ajax to kill the primitive ape king. "Please human. Don''t say such words. Why can''t you just let me be your partner? I can protect you from any danger?" Finally, the primitive ape king could not take the pressure of Ajax killing him. So, he shamelessly begged to be his partner. "You are weak to protect yourself, not to mention you want to protect me." Ajax shook his head and suddenly thought of something, "So, how about I give you another task which is very easy and you could do it without a problem?" "I will do it. I will do it." The primitive ape king hurriedly nodded his head and continued saying, "Even if it costs my life, I willplete it." Since Ajax said that it was an easy task, the primitive ape king became shameless again before saying big words like giving away his life for the task. "As long as you be one of the spirit beast kings of the inner section of the cursed wilderness, I will ept you as my partner." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax kept the inheritance sword away while giving the task. "That''s it?" Even though he believed that Ajax would not lie about the task being an easy one, somewhere in his heart, he felt Ajax might be tricking him again. However, when he heard what he had to do, the primitive ape king heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head because he wanted to have another spirit beast king from the inner section of the cursed wilderness. So that, in the future, he could leave the conquering of the cursed wilderness to the primitive ape king and the golden wyvern king. ''I can easily take care of thatst ranked spirit beast king in the past and as long as I push myself a little, I can still defeat him now.'' The primitive ape king was eager to have a fight too because it''s been years since he had an actual fight. So, he was excited for a fight in which he was confident in winning. ''I hope that wyvern didn''t learn any bestialws.'' Even though he said those words, the primitive ape king was very sure that it was impossible for the golden wyvern king to learn the bestialw. It was not like the golden wyvern king didn''t have a goodprehension power; instead, the primitive ape king knew that the golden wyvern king was trying his best to be the golden dragon king which was a fool''s dream in his opinion. So, he was still confident in defeating the golden wyvern king. However, Ajax''s next words made the primitive ape king freeze in his thoughts. "By the way, thest spirit beast king, Gaimont, the golden wyvern king, is my contracted spirit beast. So, you have to fight anyone among the spirit beast kings of the inner section of the cursed wilderness except for him." "What? Gaimont became your contracted spirit beast?" The primitive ape king asked with a shocked look on his face; however, when he remembered how mysterious Ajax was, he bitterly shook his head with disappointment. "Yeah" Ajax nodded his head and he was not surprised that the primitive ape king knew Gaimont because the ape king''s cultivation was among the same level as that of Gaimont. ''Damn it....is there no way to be his partner? What the hell is wrong with me? I am unable to cultivate peace and the only way I can do it is by bing his partner.'' ''So, I have to fight that bastard. He was already very powerful back then, I am sure he must have be much stronger now.'' The primitive ape king fell into a dilemma as he became restless. For thest 45 days, he was trying his best toprehend a bestialw; however, his soul was restless for some unknown reason and finally, he came to a conclusion that he had to be Ajax''s partner at any cost. Only after that, his soul could be normal. ''What the hell? My soul doesn''t want to listen to me.'' This was the inner thought of the primitive ape king; however, he was not going to give up and decided to fight the ninth-ranked spirit beast king. "I will be staying in this province for 15 to 20 days, I want you toplete that task before that. Now go and work on it." "Be ready to ept me as your partner, partner." Ajax was surprised that the primitive ape king was ready to fight the ninth-ranked spirit beast king from the inner section. ''Let''s see whether he would create any miracles this time.'' Ajax wanted the primitive ape king to do a miracle when he gave the previous task; however, he failed because it was very hard to aplish. ''Thud'' Once the primitive ape king decided to fight the ninth-ranked spirit beast king, he started moving out of the cave. ''Senior nameless, can you keep an eye on him?'' Soon, Ajax asked Nameless cultivators to keep an eye on the primitive ape king as it would be a problem if the primitive ape king dies while fighting the ninth-ranked spirit beast king. ''I can do it, young master.'' Nameless cultivator harnessed the cursed energy and he could corrode others without a problem and as long as he sneaked an attack on the ninth-ranked spirit beast king, he could sessfully kill the spirit beast king. ''Youn master, what about¡­.'' ''I will change them back to their normal form.'' Before Nameless cultivator could say anything, Ajax knew what he wanted to say and nodded his head while promising that he would take care of the corroded beings that were standing in one corner of the cave. ''Thank you, young master.'' With a slight bow, Nameless cultivator left the cave to secretly follow the primitive ape king. "Before I take my revenge on the assassin sect, I have to take care of some small things." Since he decided to stay in this province for another 15 to 20 days, Ajax was not in a hurry to rush to destroy the assassin sect like a mindless cultivator. ''First, I will help them turn back to their regr forms and they can help me when fighting against the assassin sect.'' Ajax wanted to gather all the strength he had to corner the assassin sect to find out the reason why they had to kill so many innocent lives and who gave them the right to do it. ''So, let''s begin your transformation.'' Soon, he started working on the 10 corroded spirit beasts in the cave. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1077: 10 Spirit Beast Followers

''Ding, The cursed energy is removed from the night serpent''s soul and body before being healed by five units of sacred astral energy. ''Ding, The cursed energy is removed from the yer phantom''s soul and body before being healed by five units of sacred astral energy. ''Ding, The cursed energy is removed from the three Brass werecats'' souls and bodies before being healed by nine units of sacred astral energy. ''Ding, The cursed energy is removed from the five grey behemoths'' souls and bodies before being healed by 12 units of sacred astral energy. Ajax continued to get the system notifications in his head every time he cleansed the corroded spirit beasts'' souls. However, he didn''t bother about them and continued to focus on them and within a couple of hours, he transformed all the ten corroded spirit beasts back to their normal forms. ''Ding, Total 31 units of sacred astral energy are consumed and the storage capacity of the sacred astral space also increased by the same number of units. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Space:- 349 units / 541 units. ''Phew'' Ajax was waiting for these two system notifications and seeing them, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''I only need 100 more Sacred Astral Energy to be the rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer, then my ''Self-healing'' skill will be upgraded along with it.'' Ajax was looking forward to gaining those 100 Sacred Astral Energy. To be a rank 2 Sacred Astral Healer, Ajax needs to have the Sacred Astral Space of 1000 units. As long as he spent the 349 units of his Sacred Astral Energy on something he could increase his Sacred Astral Space to 900 units. That''s the benefit of the rank 1 Sacred Astral Healer. However, he didn''t have a single clue regarding where he would be getting those 100 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''I don''tck Astral Energy but Sacred Energy. I have to keep an eye on the treasures that give Sacred Energy.'' Compared to the Sacred Astral Energy, finding the Sacred Energy is easy; however, that ''Easy'' is only whenpared with Sacred Astral Energy. "Thank you for saving us. Please let us follow you in the future." Soon, all ten spirit beasts thanked and asked his permission to be his followers. ''These are all strong with peak rank 6 cultivation and they can be helpful for me.'' Even though a spirit beast is very ferocious, they stay loyal as long as they are saved and not mistreated. So, Ajax didn''t have any idea to reject them. ''Ding, Do you want to ept them as your followers? Just as he was about to nod his head, he got the system notification. "Yes" Just a single reply for both the system and the 10 spirit beasts. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining 10 spirit beast followers. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with nothing. ''...'' ''What? Do you need to send a system notification even for that?'' Ajax became speechless when he saw thest system notification and shook his head. ''Looks like these 10 spirit beasts were normal.'' Soon, Ajax guessed the reason why he didn''t get the reward even when he got the 10 followers. Next, he observed the spirit beasts one by one starting with Grey behemoth. There were five grey behemoths in front of him and they were around 10 meters in height. They looked like the earth elephants; however, there were no trunks; instead, their tusks were nearly touching the ground. "Hm...you are a yer Phantom." After checking the features of the grey behemoths, Ajax looked at a ck-coloured spirit beast that waspletely covered by a ck mist that made Ajax barely look at the spirit beast. "Yes, master." The yer phantom walked out of the ck mist and it was a mantis around three meters in height and five meters in length. Ajax looked at the sharp mantis des before nodding his head and thought, ''No wonder you are called a yer.'' "Night serpent." Next, he looked at the huge ck-coloured serpent and lightly patted its head. Earlier, he sliced off its head and thinking about it, Ajax felt bad for it. The night serpent didn''t say anything to Ajax; instead, it slightly closed its eyes. "So, you three must be siblings, if I am not wrong?" Finally, Ajax''s eyesnded on three two-meter werecats that were in brass colour with ck lines on them. The three two meters werecats looked exactly the same and there was not a single minor difference between them. ''Meow...yes, master.'' The three of them nodded at the same time before replying to Ajax. "Interesting." Ajax said a single word looking at their actions. "Any of you remember the tenth-ranked territory in the inner section of the cursed wilderness?" After checking all 10 spirit beasts, Ajax asked them regarding the golden wyvern king''s territory. ''...'' Five grey behemoths and three brass werecats looked at the Ajax with confused looks in their eyes. "I know about it, master." "I think I know about it too, master." However, yer Phantom and Night Serpent gave a positive reply; however, before replying they hesitated a little before they were not sure about it. Because it''s been a while since they lost contact with the outside world and they didn''t know how much the outside world had changed in recent years. So, they were not confident. "It belongs to the golden wyvern king. Now, do you know it?" Ajax could guess why theyck confidence. So, they mention the spirit beast king of that territory. "Yes, master. I know it." Once they heard it was ruled by the golden wyvern king, both yer phantom and Night serpent hurriedly nodded their heads. "Good. Go to that ce and say that I sent you there. Currently, a barbarian is in charge of that territory, he will help you be stronger." Ajax nodded his head and asked them to go to that territory to be the battle beasts. The thing is all 10 spirit beasts in front of him didn''t have any bloodlines. Moreover, none of them was young spirit beasts. So, they were the right spirit beasts to be the battle beasts. "I can guess that you hate the cursed energy and didn''t want to cultivate it. So, go to that ce and be even stronger without any bloodline." Before they could nod their heads, Ajax had said a few more words that wanted them to rush towards that territory as soon as possible. Since all these spirit beasts transformed back from the cursed energy, they got the natural resistance against it and at the same time, they could even use that energy to increase their cultivation. However, all those spirit beasts hated the cursed energy for making them lose a few years in their life and if not for Ajax, they would have forever roamed in the cursed abyss like mindless creatures. "Okay, master." Both the spirit beasts nodded their heads and took the lead to guide the remaining eight spirit beasts. Soon, Ajax was the only one who was left in the cave. ''Ding, The three demonic beasts woke up from their ce. Just as he was nning something, he got a system notification that pleasantly surprised him. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1078: Armoured Dark Jaguar

Chapter 1078: Armoured Dark Jaguar

''That''s fast'' It''s been only a few hours since the little demonic beasts consumed the primordial demon king''s blood essence. Ajax thought it would take days before they woke up; however, they already woke up. ''Let''s not summon them here.'' The demonic beasts are already demonic in nature and if the cursed energy enters into their bodies, they would turn into corroded beings. So, Ajax decided not to summon them. Even though he could help them turn back, the demonic beasts had to endure so much pain and he was not so heartless to do that just to increase the capacity of his Sacred Astral Space. ''First, let''s check whether I can summon Alder or not?'' Ajax wanted to confirm first and decided to summon the devourer eagle king. As a king realm spirit beast, the cursed energy would not affect the devourer eagle king much. ''Alder,e out.'' ''Ding, The host can''t summon a King realm contracted spirit beast in this province. ''As I expected.'' Ajax was not surprised by the system notification. Even though he could not summon the devourer eagle king, that doesn''t mean he was going to give up on the revenge. ''Once I finish my revenge, I can finally be free.'' At least that''s what Ajax thought; however, he didn''t know what might happen to him after learning the truth that the reason for the massacre was because of him. ''I think it''s better to inform Captain Edmond and Guild master; otherwise, the royal family will put me on them.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax rushed out of the cursed abyss. Along the way, he released two blue-coloured paper cranes. One was for Captain Edmond and the other one was Guild master. A blue-coloured paper crane means it was urgent but there is no danger. They were given to him by Captain Edmond to use them when he wanted to meet them for some urgent work. Not only the blue-coloured crane, but Edmond also gave a red-coloured paper crane which signifies he was in great danger and needed urgent help. ''I hope they will be back soon.'' Ajax didn''t have a clue regarding Edmond''s whereabouts and as for the guild master, he must be in his secret realm which Ajax could not enter without permission. So, he could only use the paper cranes which could travel anywhere and find the person at an incredible speed before bringing them back. ''Now, let''s see the improvement of my little demonic beasts.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned three of the demonic beasts from his inner world. ''Roar'' ''Screech'' ''Swiss'' The moment they were summoned they let out joyful sounds andpared to thest time, they have grown bigger. ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- Hybrid steel winged vulture. Strength:- Rank 5 Skills:- Absolute digestion, steel wing, feather strike, Absolute madness, Hybrid beak. Bloodline:- Primordial demon king''s bloodline (33 percent purity) ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- four-winged demonic snake. Strength:- Rank 5 Skills:- Absolute digestion, Absolute madness, demonic fang, strong bind, hardened scales. Bloodline:- Primordial demon king''s bloodline (33 percent purity) ''Ding, Demonic beast name:- Armoured Dark Jaguar. Strength:- Rank 5 Skills:- Absolute digestion, Absolute madness, Vanish, rebound, pounce, silent hunter. Bloodline:- Primordial demon king''s bloodline (33 percent purity). With a thought, theplete information regarding the three demonic beasts appeared in front of him. ''Not only they awakened the bloodline, they even mutated.'' Ajax was already shocked by the changes that happened to the three demonic beasts'' bodies and after seeing that the three of them awakened the bloodline with the same level of purity, he was happy. First, the vulture''s wings had a steel coating along with its beak and talons. The demonic snake now had two additional wings and the scales on its body could be seen hardened just from a nce. As for thest demonic beast, it hadpletely ck armour making it a war beast before going through the actual process. ''System, can I use the primitive stones to increase their bloodline?'' Ajax thought of something and asked the system. ''Ding, No. The host can use the primitive stones for the spirit beasts. ''Looks like I have to kill another two high-level primordial kings.'' Ajax was already expecting that and looked at the refining furnace of the arcane spirit turtle in the inner world which was currently refining the body of the ''High-level demon king''. ''I hope I can get another two drops of blood essence from his body.'' Ajax was hoping but he knows it depends on his luck to get such an item. ''From the previous body bodies, I got a few more demon king bones and one small demon crystal. So, in total, I have 14 small demon crystals.'' Ajax recalled the items he gained from the previous refinement. ''Swoosh'' While he was thinking about the items he gained from the arcane refining furnace, the mutated spirit crane that was inside the special beast storage token came out. "Hey, why the hell did youe out?" Ajax was shocked for a moment by the sudden appearance of the mutated spirit crane and suppressing his shock, he shouted at the spirit crane. Even though Ajax was not sure whether the cultivators from the ''House of dragons'' entered the Zrochester province or not, he didn''t want the mutated spirit crane out of the special beast storage token. So, he could not help but shout at the mutated spirit crane as he didn''t want to be the target of the ''House of dragons'' yet. "I sense a trace of crown turquoise bloodline in this direction. Let''s go." As soon as she finished her words, she flew deeper into the cursed wilderness. ''What the...'' Ajax frowned as he looked at the silhouette of the mutated spirit crane and cursed before rushing after her. Since he had a mission to protect the mutated spirit crane, Ajax could not let her go alone. Not only would he fail the mission, but even Princess Daphne would also hate him for not protecting the mutated spirit crane. So, with an annoyed look on his face, Ajax rushed after the mutated spirit crane while keeping an eye on his surroundings. ''Roar'' After entering into the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax heard a roar in the direction in which the mutated spirit crane was flying and increased his speed to catch up to her. "Ajax, he is a turquoise crowned lion." Soon, the mutated spirit crane informed Ajax about the spirit beast that let out such a ferocious roar. "So, what are you going to do? Kill it?" Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face despite knowing the answer to his question. "No. I will ask him to be my friend and work together to increase our bloodlines. So, in the future, we could fight back that aqua dragon." Little blue replied to Ajax while rolling at Ajax''s question. ''Let''s see...hehe.'' Ajax was very sure that her n would be bound to fail; however, he didn''t try exining as he wanted the mutated spirit crane to know it by herself. "Brother Lion, can we be friends?" Soon, they saw a turquoise coloured lion and little blue flew towards it before asking it. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1079: [Bonus Chapter]Devourer Spirit Crane

''Roar'' ''Swoosh'' The turquoise crowned lion roared at the mutated spirit crane jumping at her. ''Swoosh'' "Brother Lion, we both have the same bloodline. Why are you trying to kill me?" Even though the mutated spirit crane didn''t have great battle prowess, she is still a peak rank 6 spirit beast with a powerful bloodline. So, she was able to escape from the lion''s pounce. "Brother? How dare you call me that? You are nothing but my meal. As long as I consume you, my crowned turquoise king''s bloodline will increase." ''Mane bind'' ''Swoosh'' The lion became furious when the mutated spirit crane was able to dodge its attack. So, it scoffed at the mutated spirit crane''s previous words before using a powerful attack where the hair from the lion''s mane extended as it binded the mutated spirit crane. "Now, where do you think you will escape to?" The crowned lion mocked the mutated spirit crane before pulling the mutated spirit crane towards him. "Leave me, you bastard." Soon, the mutated spirit crane started her curses and just when she was pulled near enough, she used a ''Beakstab'' multiple times and with the help of her long neck, she was able to blind the crowned lion. "Roarr" ''Rrr'' Soon, the crowned lion roared in pain and jumped up and down. Amidst that jumping, it released the mutated spirit crane from its mane hair. "So, you still want to be his sister?" Ajax slowly walked towards the mutated spirit crane and asked with a slight smile on his face. ''...'' The mutated spirit crane didn''t give any reply and looked at the crowned lion with an evil look in her eyes. The thing is she wanted to aplish the task given to her by the crowned turquoise queen and it was to gather all those who gained her bloodline and be stronger together. Even though Aqua dragon wants to kill her, she hoped there would be others who had the same thoughts as her; however, from the looks of it, she was wrong and it nearly cost her life. "Damn you...little bird. I am going to eat you." Soon, the crowned lion stopped roaring in pain; instead, he cursed the mutated spirit crane as he used his spirit senses to trace the mutated spirit crane and rushed towards her. "I already had enough of you." ''sh'' Little blue was already annoyed that Ajax was mocking her for her earlier mistake and now the crowned lion is cursing her. Finally, she couldn''t control her anger and with a swift sh from her wings, she cut the crowned lion''s head. "Since you all want to increase your bloodline by eating others with the same bloodline, then I will do the same." While saying those words, the mutated spirit crane started devouring the dead crowned lion''s body. ''Is it a spirit crane or a devourer eagle?'' The very sight of the mutated spirit crane devouring the turquoise crowned lion was an eye-opener for Ajax as he muttered, ''Maybe it was affected by the devourer eagle king''s world''s essence of nature.'' It took exactly five minutes for the mutated spirit crane topletely devour the crowned lion leaving only bones on the ground. ''System, is there any change in the bloodline purity of this silly bird?'' Since all the spirit beasts that awakened the crowned turquoise queen''s bloodline after absorbing her diluted bloodline, were trying to consume one another to increase the purity of their bloodline, Ajax wanted to know how much the mutated spirit crane had increased her bloodline purity. ''Ding, It increased by 3 percent and reached 95 percent. Note:- The crowned lion had less than 50 percent purity bloodline. ''I guess, it is not back to increase three percent when the purity is above 90 percent. If the crowned lion had consumed the mutated spirit crane, it would have increased its bloodline purity from less than 50 percent to directly above 90 percent.'' ''No wonder, the crowned lion didn''t bother to listen to the mutated spirit crane''s words.'' Ajax thought to himself seeing the system notification and he was no longer surprised with why they were so adamant about consuming one another. "If you are done eating, let''s go." Ajax looked at his surroundings as he felt like someone was watching them; however, he didn''t find anyone in their surroundings. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to stay here for long. So, he asked the mutated spirit crane to go with him. "Where do you think you are going?" All of a sudden, a group of five young men in blue-coloured formal robes appeared from various directions and surrounded them. "Huh? It is none of your business." Ajax raised his brows as he looked at the five young men surrounding him and the mutated spirit crane and replied with a calm look on his face. "Haha....human, you are very arrogant for your pitiful cultivation of level 7 general realm." The young man from earlier startedughing as he scoffed at Ajax. "Senior brother, initially, I wanted to let him go away; however, he should die today." "Yes, junior brother." The young man nodded his head and continued, "You take care of that mutated spirit crane, whereas I will have some fun with this puny human." "Yes, senior brother." The remaining four young men nodded their heads and threw a spirit at the mutated spirit crane which instantly immobilized the spirit crane. "Oh. You already finished capturing it? Okay then. Why don''t you watch me while I have fun?" As soon as the so-called senior brother finished his words, he rushed towards Ajax and along the way, his left hands turned into a blue-coloured dragon hand. "House of dragons?" Ajax was not worried much about the five young men''s cultivation because everyone had the same cultivation of level 10 elite general realm. However, there was something different about them because they were not humans and Ajax was unable to tell what they were with a nce until he saw the blue dragon hand. Moreover, when he thought about how they immobilized the mutated spirit crane, he became even more sure. "Huh?" The young man who was trying to y with Ajax raised his eyebrows when he heard Ajax''s words and halted in his tracks before asking him. "How do you know about us?" "Haha" Finally, it was Ajax''s turn tough as he stretched his body a little and started walking towards the mutated spirit crane that was immobilized in the spirit. ''Swoosh'' He summoned his inheritance sword and used it to cut the spirit into pieces freeing the mutated spirit crane. "If you defeat me, I will tell you." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to the senior brother of the four young men. "Really? With your current cultivation strength?" That young man mocked Ajax and without thinking much, he said, "Okay then. Why don''t you attack me, first?" "Are you sure about it? What if I identally kill you?" Ajax asked with a confused look on his face before shaking his head and said, "Why don''t you start attacking me, instead?" ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1080: Aqua dragon bloodline

Chapter 1080: Aqua dragon bloodline

"You..." The young man became angry when he heard Ajax''s mocking words. Even though Ajax was not mocking and telling the truth, the young man felt it was a mockery. As a genius young re-cultivated aqua dragon, how could a level 7 general realm human dare to say that he could identally kill him? "Let''s see whether you will identally kill me or not?" Nevertheless, he suppressed his anger as he asked Ajax to attack him first. "Sigh...why do all those whom I encounter underestimate me a lot?" Ajax sighed as he shook his head and looking at the mutated spirit crane which was shivering at the sight of weird artifacts in the hands of the four young men, he said, "See, just because you wanted to make friends, a random reptile is underestimating me." "Swoosh" As soon as he finished his words,? Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared beside the young man who underestimated him before shing off his head. ''sh'' ''Thud'' There was absolutely no resistance at all as the young man''s headless body fell to the ground. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing an aqua dragon king''s descendent. ''Ding, Rewards:- Aqua dragon king bloodline x 1 point. Note:- Collect 100 points to awaken an impure aqua dragon king bloodline. Within no time, the system sent the system notifications regarding the kill and the rewards. ''Bloodline point?'' Ajax was shocked when he read the second notification and soon, he became excited that he had a chance to awaken another bloodline. ''Let''s save this body for refining.'' With a touch, he sent the headless body into the inner world before looking at the remaining four young men. ''What happened to the senior brother?'' ''Am I seeing things?'' ''How can a level 7 general realm cultivator kill a level 10 elite general realm cultivator?'' ''Idiot...stop acting like a fool and activate a distress signal to the masters and the grandmaster.'' The three young men were still in shock; however, the fourth young man was able to recover from the shock and hurriedly reminded his friend about some distress signal. "Done." Without hesitation, one of the young men crushed the pendant on his chest before nodding his head at the fourth young man. "So, there are others with you. Good." Why would Ajax be sad if there were more members from the ''House of the dragons''?. For him, the more the aqua dragons rush at him, the more aqua dragons he could kill them and get more ''Aqua dragon bloodline points'' he could get. So, with a slight smile on his face, we waited for the young men in front of him to make a move. However, they froze in the same ces and didn''t move at all. "So what if you don''t move, I am going to kill you cultivators from the ''House of the dragons''." Ajax was tired of waiting for the young men to move; however, they were not moving from their ces. So, he used the teleport four times and shed his inheritance sword four times. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing four aqua dragon king''s descendants. ''Ding, Rewards:- Aqua dragon king bloodline x 4 points. ''I still need 95 aqua dragons but I don''t think they were that many of them in the Zrochester province. I need to find a way to enter Xacaster province to kill more aqua dragons in the future.'' Having more bloodlines means more battle prowess with less cultivation. So, Ajax didn''t want to miss having a bloodline. However, what he didn''t know was there were more than 1000 members from the ''House of dragons'' that entered the Zrochester province. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t bother about it as he knew more members from the ''House of dragons'' would being soon. So, he cleaned up all the bodies and stored them in the inner world for refining purposes because talking to the mutated spirit crane. "Did you see? The dragons from the ''House of dragons'' are already here for you. Do you believe me now?" In the Sacred Pool, Ajax only used his words to convince the mutated spirit crane regarding the threat from the ''House of dragons''. "What are we going to do now?" Spirit cranes are naturally fearful in nature. So, little blue became anxious and moreover, they have weird artifacts that could shoot a spirit that instantly immobilized her. Ajax didn''t have a way to check them because the moment he touched them to check the information on them, they turned into nothingness making Ajax speechless. "They are careful in making those artifacts. Anyway, don''t worry. I am itching for a small battle before a big battle." Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried about the ''House of dragons''. After he trips to the various smaller worlds, Ajax gained so much along with great confidence. So, of course, he wanted to try his battle prowess before the actual battle started. Here, the big battle means him fighting against the assassin sect and the small battle means him fighting against the iing ''House of dragons'' members. If Ajax knew the current battle forces of the ''House of dragons'', he would be saying, ''Big battle before the small battle.'' Time continued to pass as Ajax and the mutated spirit crane waited for the members from the ''House of dragons''. .... A few kilometers away from Ajax''s location. "Everyone, I am activating the barrier that separates this particr area from the outside world for exactly five minutes." The old man from the ''House of dragons'' pointed to a particr location on the map as he exined to the middle-aged man behind him. "I don''t know what you are going to do; however, I want that mutated spirit crane alive. As for the young man, he had a good sword. You can take it and also, you can search for other items on his body after killing him." The old man was very serious when he said those words. Before leaving the ''House of dragons'' he was very confident that he would not lose a single life during this mission; however, five young men had already died. So, he was very angry and serious while saying those words. "We will take care of that young human, master. You don''t have to worry." One of the middle-aged men replied to the old man in a low yet powerful voice. "I don''t need words. I need the mutated spirit crane." The old man scoffed at the middle-aged man as he directly sent the rest of the army he brought along with him to hunt down Ajax. As for him, he was busy blocking the presence of the members from the ''House of dragons'' by creating a barrier. If he fights, the barrier will not stand properly. So, he could not fight. ''My disciples and their disciples are more than enough to take care of that kid.'' However, the old man felt there was no need for him to personally hunt such a young human. "Everyone, attack him at the same time." Soon, more than 1000 members of the ''House of dragons'' rushed towards Ajax to kill him. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 850 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1081: ughtering the Aqua dragons

''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Before Ajax could know what was happening, he waspletely surrounded by more than thousands of members of the ''House of dragons''. "Holy heavens" Ajax was shocked to the core when he saw more than thousands of members who had minimum cultivation of level 10 elite general realm. As for the middle-aged men who were standing in the front row, their cultivation had already reached peak elite general realm. ''I think these middle-aged men must have awakened their bestialw.'' Even though Ajax was shocked by the sudden appearance of so many members of the ''House of dragons'', he didn''t fear them as he had the means to fight an entire smaller world, not to mention the cultivators who had yet to reach the King realm. "What did you do to my disciples?" "Did you kill them?" While Ajax was trying to probe the level of their bestialws, two middle-aged men asked him two questions. "Don''t worry, they were in a safe ce." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied as he continued, "Isn''t it too much for your master of the ''House of dragons'' to send you all just for a mutated spirit crane?" "Huh?" "How do you know about us?" Just like the five young men from before, all the members surrounding Ajax were shocked at Ajax''s words as the middle-aged man asked him. "How do I know? Of course, the five young men from before said your purpose of visit." With a scoff, Ajax replied and silently sent the mutated spirit crane into the special beast storage token. Actually, Ajax wanted to let the mutated spirit out to watch the fight; however, there are a little too many to fight with and he can''t concentrate on the mutated spirit crane while fighting with them. "Damn you" The middle-aged man cursed as he ordered, "Everyone, attack him now." "What? So soon? Don''t you want to talk?" Hearing the middle-aged man''s order, Ajax could not but be serious. "Teleport." Nevertheless, with a thought, Ajax teleported from his ce dodging all the attacks from the members of the ''House of Dragons.'' "By the way, I forgot to introduce you to my summons. Turn around and say ''Hello'' to them." Ajax knew he could not keep dodging the attacks of more than thousands of members because it would be too risky as everyone had minimum cultivation of level 10 elite general realm. So, he shouted non-sense to divert their focus from him by using the name of his elemental spirits. ''Huh? Elemental spirits? Where are they?'' ''I didn''t see them?'' ''Are they hiding somewhere?'' . . Ajax words seemed so real that everyone believed that there were elemental spirits behind them; however, they were unable to find a single one of them. "Halo, Time halt." "Prophis, Dimensional de." "Volcanis and Ignis, Fire asteroids." "Blood, Blood control." "Bane, Advanced poison scythe." "Zen and Necros, bind and blind." As the attention of the members of the ''House of dragons'' was diverted, Ajax summoned his powerful elemental spirits who mainly had powerful ''area of effect'' skills or supporting skill to stop his enemies. ''Swooosh'' A golden colour circle with a 100-meter radius around the time elemental spirit appeared andnded on the ground which froze all the members of the ''House of dragons''. In the next second, a huge ck de appeared out of nowhere before cutting down more than 100 members. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit Prophis killed 144 re-cultivated dragons. ''Ding, Rewards:- 72 aqua dragon bloodline points. Note:- The number of bloodline points received is reduced by half since they were killed by the host''s summons. Just after the first attack, Prophis killed 144 members, making Ajax smile a little. ''Bloodline points are reduced by half? Not a problem, there are more than enough of them for me to awaken the aqua bloodline.'' Ajax was not bothered by the decrease in the bloodline points because he could not kill everyone on his own if they attacked him at once. After that, thousands of fire asteroids started falling on the members of the ''House of dragons'' as they looked at the iing fire asteroids; however, they were not in a position to dodge the attacks. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Even though a single asteroid is not enough to kill a level 10 elite general realm cultivator, what about 10 or 100 or 1000 fire asteroids? Volcanis and Ignis'' attack took care of more than 300 members as Ajax received the system notifications. ''Boom'' As for the blood elemental spirits, he focused on the injured ones and using his ''Blood control'' skill, he killed them all. Lastly, it was the poison elemental spirit''s turn and he used his poison scythe and casually shed it at the members of the ''House of dragons'' from the ce where he was standing. Since they could not move, they were cut in a half and turned into bloodline points for Ajax. By the time these five elemental spirits finished their attacks, the effect of the Halo''s ''Time halt'' came to an end. Finally, it was Zen and Necros'' turn to take the ce of Halo''s ''Time half'' skill using their Bind and Blind skills. The shadow of the members of the ''House of dragons'' came out as they binded them from moving away and as for the remaining members, they lost their senses. "Repeat the attacks." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax ordered his summons. Soon, Volcanis, Ignis, Prophis Blood and Bane, once again used the same skills to kill the immobilised members. Within no time, only 100 middle-aged men were still standing and the rest of the young men were killed by Ajax''s elemental spirits. ''These 100 middle-aged men are really powerful. Even with that many attacks, they were barely injured.'' Ajax was surprised to see the still-standing middle-aged men around him and thought, ''It looks like I need to activate bloodline to defeat them.'' Until now, Ajax had only ordered his summons to use the normal skills. So, he thought to increase the battle prowess of his summons. ''Also, from the looks of it, these 10 middle-aged men look more powerful than others. I wonder what level of bestialws they have.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he nned his next step. ''Ding, The hosts collected more 505 aqua dragon bloodline points. Do you want to awaken the aqua dragon bloodline by consuming 100 aqua dragon bloodline points? Just as he thought to fight the 100 middle-aged men using a different strategy, he received a system notification asking him whether he wanted to awaken the aqua dragon bloodline. ''Interesting.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and decided to awaken after asking the system regarding the time to awaken the bloodline. "Damn you, human, we are going to kill you." However, before he could ask the system about it, he heard the middle-aged man who looked like a leader shout at Ajax and then ordered the rest of the middle-aged man, "Everyone, activate your bloodline." "The ten aqua guardians, let''s use our level 10 bestialws along with the bloodline." "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard the middle-aged man''s words. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 900 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1082: [Bonus Chapter]''House of dragons'' is very generous.

The 100 middle-aged men around him transformed into humanoid dragons with long blue scales. Their height was three meters with bulky muscr bodies. Moreover, the 50-80 meters radius around each one of thempletely had a tingle of blue light making it look like some kind of bestial. However, what shocked Ajax more was that the 10 middle-aged men on whom he was keeping an eye from the beginning had a 100 meters radius of their bestialw which makes them have a level 10 bestialw. ''Damn it...the dragons are already terrifying, to begin with and with a high-level bestial, this one is going to be a tough one. This...master of the ''House of dragons'', I need to be careful of him.'' ''He was so thoughtful and careful in sending an army to get a mutated spirit crane as though he expected some kind of interference.'' Ajax cursed how serious the master of the ''House of dragons'' was to send such terrifying fighters. "Are you scared now?" The leader of the aqua dragons scoffed at Ajax as he waited to see what kind of move Ajax would be using next. "No, I am thinking how much my contracted spirit beasts will like to eat the dragon men''s bodies." As soon as he finished his words, he shouted, "Okay everyone,e out and say hello to them." Earlier, Ajax just wanted to use a few of his elemental spirits for this small battle; however, unexpectedly, this battle turned out to be a big one. So, without any hesitation, he summoned everyone except for the Divine Dragon and the Devourer eagle king. He could not summon the devourer eagle king because he was a king realm spirit beast whereas he didn''t summon the divine dragon because he didn''t want to attract the attention of humans too...at least for now. When he goes against the assassin sect, the Divine dragon is a must because the assassin sect has huge buildings and shops to destroy. So, Twilight would be the right match to do it. "You must be a top power in the Xacaster province but here, I am the powerful one." Ajax scoffed at them while he watched his summons fight the hundred aqua dragons. In the purple stone world, most of thend is upied by humans and the rest of thend was upied by the few barbarians tribes, grey dwarves, forest elves, aqua dragons and so on. Even though there were only a few races and their numbers were also limited, the aqua dragons grew to be the top power in the highest province in the Purple stone world. However, the mistake they made was to cross paths with Ajax and from here on, there will be an unbreakable feud between Ajax and the ''House of dragons'' created. "They have grown too much in such a short time." Without any orders, Ajax''s summons chose their own opponents. Some chose more than five whereas others chose a single one. Depending on their battle prowess, they chose their opponents and started pushing their limits and at the same time, they wanted to win the battle because they were fighting dragons. It was all thanks to his world-destroying mission that his summons were able to grow very much. "Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate." Seeing that some of his level 1 elite general realm elemental spirits were struggling, Ajax decided to use his bloodline which instantly increased everyone''s battle prowess by three times. Once they get the boost from the bloodline, those elemental spirits that were struggling against their opponents were able to manage an upper hand and two elemental spirits were able to hold a single aqua dragon. However, when ites to the elemental spirits like Volcanis, Ignis and others who had already activated their elementalws, the battle nearly came to an end in a couple of attacks before changing their opponents. "Halo, give some support to them." The fight was aplete mess. If Ajax didn''t have extraordinary senses, he would have totally confused who was fighting with whom. Even though the fight waspletely in his favour, Ajax just wanted the fight to be over as soon as possible before his bloodline goes into cooldown. Soo, he asked the time elemental spirit to help his summons in finishing the battle. ''Time halt'' Once again, Halo used his signature skill to stop all the aqua dragons whereas Ajax''s summons were still able to do anything they wanted. "Finish it." Looking at the aqua dragons who were standing like statues, Ajax gave the final order to his summons to finish the fight. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." All the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits nodded their heads and used their powerful skills to cut the top bodies of the aqua dragons. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s summons for killing 90 peak elite general realm aqua dragons with peak bestialws. ''Ding, Rewards:- 900 spirit points, 900 aqua dragon bloodline points. Set of aqua dragon bones, teeth, ws and scales x 900. ''Woah...the rewards are so nice.'' The moment his summons killed all the aqua dragons standing around him, Ajax received a couple of system notifications and the rewards gave him a pleasant surprise. ''With this many bones, teeth, ws and scales, my grey dwarf world could create some good weapons and artifacts.'' Ajax was hoping to go back to the grey dwarf world as soon as possible to give them all these weapon refinements. ''Moreover, I use some of their bodies for refinement and others could give good nourishment for my meat-eating summons. ''House of dragons'' is very generous. In the future, I should pay a visit to them.'' Basically, the members from the ''house of dragons'' just came to give him some goods while leaving this world. ''System, what about the remaining 10 aqua dragons?'' After waiting for a couple of seconds, Ajax asked the system about the 10 aqua dragons. Actually, there were 100 aqua dragons and in the earlier system notification, it mentioned only 90 aqua dragons. So, Ajax asked about them. ''Ding, They were yet to die. Please kill them to get the rewards. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked by the system notification and walked searching for the still breathing aqua dragons. "No wonder, I am having a bad premonition whenever I look at you. I felt that feeling when I first saw the bronze demon king." It didn''t take much time for Ajax to find the leader of the aqua dragons who barely left any breath in him and muttered to himself. "Anyway, you already gave me so many good things. The lest I can do for you is to put you out of your misery." While saying that, Ajax summoned his inheritance swords before slowly sliding it down the leader of the aqua dragons'' throat. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a low-level aqua dragon king. ''Ding, Rewards:- 1000 spirit points, a set of aqua dragon king''s bones, teeth ws and scales, aqua dragon''s blood essence, bestialw stone. ''What?'' Looking at the two system notifications in his head, Ajax was shocked to the core as he hurriedly checked whether he was seeing it wrongly. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 900 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1083: Old man from the House of Dragons

Chapter 1083: Old man from the ''House of Dragons''

''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the system notification saying that he killed a low-level king realm aqua dragon. ''I am very sure, he only used his bestialw and not a bestial soul.'' Ajax remembered how the leader of the aqua dragons used the bestialw while attacking his summons. Generally, there was a huge difference between a ''Law'' and a ''Soul''. Law can only be seen vaguely whereas a Soul is the materialized form of thew. Moreover, how could a King realm re-cultivated spirit beast appear in the Zrochestr province? So, Ajax was very sure about what he saw before asking the system, ''System, is there something wrong with you?'' That was the only possible reason he could think of; however, when he saw the rewards for killing the aqua dragon was very generous, making him think that he really killed a King realm aqua dragon. ''Ding, The system is working absolutely fine, host. The aqua dragon you killed is a real King realm re-cultivated spirit beast. ''Ding, However, he was using some kind of pill to seal his cultivation to peak elite general realm. ''What?'' After seeing the system notifications, Ajax frowned and thought about the reason for doing such a thing. ''The master of the ''House of dragons'' is really crazy. He didn''t mind sending a low-level king realm cultivator to get the mutated spirit crane. This shows how much he wanted to increase his bloodline purity to 100 percent.'' Ajax muttered to himself before pulling out the inheritance sword from the aqua dragon''s body. ''Let''s see what kind of bestialw stone I got.'' Since a bestialw stone could help one of his contracted spirit beasts to learn a bestialw, Ajax hurriedly checked the bestialw in the bestialw stone. ''Ding, Item name:- Bestialw stone. Bestialw:- Aqua region. Aqua region:- A level 1 bestialw can create a small region of around 10 meters radius that is filled with water essence of nature that boosts the battle prowess of the spirit beast by three times. Bestial skill:- Aqua defence. Aqua defence:- As long as they were inside their region, the first three attacks except for the King realm cultivators will be perfectly blocked. Soon, the information regarding the bestialw stone appeared in front of him. ''Basically, it has the same effect as my bloodline and adding to thew rted skill, this one is good. No wonder, they were still able to stand even after that many attacks.'' Now, Ajax understood how 10 aqua dragons were still alive even after the attacks of his powerful contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. ''I think Damilius might be interested.'' He didn''t think much as he looked at the Sea Tauren who was eager to eat the aqua dragons. "If you want, you can take a couple of aqua dragons and eat them slowly in the inner world." Ajax shook his head as he suggested Damilius before throwing the bestialw stone, "After finishing your eating, you can cultivate this bestialw." "Th..this is...thank you, master." Damilus knelt down as he thanked Ajax. "Just work hard and learn that bestialw. Now, take a few aqua dragons and enter the inner world." Ajax nodded his head asked him to enter the inner world. Not only the Sea Tauren, Ajax asked all those who wanted to eat them to take a few aqua dragons leaving the nine aqua dragons that were still alive. Soon, Ajax went to those aqua dragons and started killing them one by one. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a low-level aqua dragon king. ''Ding, Rewards:- 1000 spirit points, a set of aqua dragon king''s bones, teeth ws and scales, aqua dragon''s blood essence. To Ajax''s surprise, he got the same system notifications; however, there was a single item missing from the reward section. ''What? Another King realm aqua dragon? How many did the master of the ''House of the dragons'' send to catch the mutated spirit crane?'' Ajax was shocked when he learnt there was another king realm aqua dragon. ''Don''t tell them, the remaining eight aqua dragons are also King realm beasts.'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing eight low-level aqua dragon kings. ''Ding, Rewards:- 8000 spirit points, eight sets of aqua dragon king''s bones, teeth ws and scales, 8 drops of aqua dragon''s blood essence. To rify his doubts, Ajax killed the remaining eight aqua dragons as fast as he could and got the same notifications informing that they were also low-level aqua dragon kings. ''Holy heavens. Now, I definitely need to visit the ''House of dragons'' to personally thank them for sending so many King realm re-cultivated spirit beasts to wee me back to the Zrochester province.'' Even though Ajax was shocked and happy for gaining so many good items, he was a little furious because he didn''t have sufficient strength, he could have died along with the mutated spirit beast. So, he decided to pay a visit to the ''House of dragons'' in the future when he enters the Xacaster province. ''Anyway, for now, I will just store them and refine these king realm aqua dragon bodies.'' Without any hesitation, he stored all the bodies into two sections. One was for refining and the other one was for his contracted spirit beasts to consume. ''I will go back and wait for Captain Edmond and the guild master.'' Soon, he rushed towards the edge of the cursed wilderness as it would be easier for everyone to meet. ''Dsoom'' However, after running for a few kilometers, Ajax ran into a barrier that pushed his back. "What the hell? Where did this barriere from?" Ajax frowned as he checked his surroundings and saw an old man who was wearing the same formal robes as the members of the ''House of dragons''. ''There is still one member left?'' Ajax revealed an evil smile as he summoned his inheritance sword and asked the old man, "Are you going to remove that barrier or not? If you remove it, I will let you go; however, if I have to break it, I will make you beg me to kill you." Ajax''s words made the old man shiver a little; however, clenching his fists, ''I have to check whether he could break the barrier or not. If he breaks it, I have to inform the master about him and his wide range of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.'' "Do you think I am a fool, young man? I saw what you did to my disciples and the grand disciples. If you have the power to break the barrier, then just break it and stop uttering nonsense." Nevertheless, the old man scoffed at Ajax and asked him to break the barrier for himself. "Old man from the ''House of dragons'', you asked for it." Ajax got annoyed with the old man''s words and replied while thinking, ''That old man clearly has fear in his eyes; however, why is he not running away? Moreover, he was cing his hands on the barrier. Is he maintaining the barrier with his hands?'' Ajax had many questions in his head as he looked at the old man and then at the barrier. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 900 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1084: Old man''s choice

''sh'' ''Kacha'' Ajax didn''t use much strength while shing the inheritance sword at the barrier and without much surprise, the barrier started cracking and within a matter of seconds, the entire barrier shattered. ''Aargh'' ''Cough'' The old man from the ''Hosue of dragons'' unconsciously stepped backwards as he groaned in pain while coughing out a mouthful of light blue-coloured blood. ''I need to escape now.'' This was the first andst thought in the old man''s head and without wasting any time, he crushed an emergency talisman. ''Swoosh'' Before Ajax could say anything, the old man disappeared from his ce without any trace. ''This escape talismans¡­.are really annoying.'' Seeing that the old man used an escape talisman to escape right in front of his eyes, Ajax could only curse the escape talismans. ''Ding, In the past, the host used to praise the ''Escape talisman'' when he had to use them to escape from enemies stronger than him. Just like always, the system, as though it was waiting for a chance to mock him, sent a system notification. ''I didn''t see that system notification.'' Ajax acted like he didn''t see the system notification and looking at the ce where the old man disappeared, he thought, ''Let him run away and bring back more rewards for me...hehe.'' Even though Ajax didn''t like killing the innocent, the ''House of dragons'' is not innocent. Moreover, they were arrogant beings that think no one is their equal except for divine dragons, of course. So, Ajax didn''t mind killing them as long as they came for him or the mutated spirit crane. ''Anyway, I have to go to the edge of the cursed wilderness to meet Captain Edmond and the Guild master.'' Soon, he stopped thinking about the ''House of dragons'' and rushed towards the outer section of the cursed wilderness. ... In the underground pce of the royal family, the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Damn it...I have to go back with empty hands.'' ''Also, I lost so much this time and my master will definitely not let me live.'' ''But, I need to inform him about that young man.'' ''I think he is definitely rted to that man.'' ''Or is it a coincidence that he could also summon so many elemental spirits with different elemental affinities?'' ''Only people with the talent of that man could break this barrier with a cultivation of level 7 general realm.'' The old man who escaped using a high-level escape talisman appeared in the underground pce of the royal family. Right now, his head ispletely in a mess. One part of his brain was saying that it was very risky to go back and the other part of his brain was saying that he had to say all the things he witnessed in the Zrochester province. Moreover, he was guessing there was some connection with someone he knew and his master needed to know this at any cost. ''Let it be. If he wants to kill him, then I will die for the ''House of Dragons''; however, the Master should know about this young man at any cost.'' After calming his mind, the old man decided to go back to the ''House of Dragons'' and inform his master of everything that happened there. More importantly, his ''guesses'' about Ajax''s origins. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, the old man rushed back to the royal pce through the same passage tunnel he and his army came in. ... After less than an hour, "Ajax, you are here." Soon, Guild master came to Ajax while riding his Livid griffin. "Thank you foring here on such short notice, Guild master." Ajax thanked the guild master foring to meet him. "It''s not a big deal. I am going toe to the Mercenary guild anyway." The guild master stored the Livid griffin in a beast storage token as he shook his head with a slight smile on his face before asking, "So, what do you want to talk so urgently?" "Captain Edmond is alsoing here. Can you please wait, Guild master?" Ajax asked the guild master with a forced smile. "Sure." The guild master raised his brows for a second before nodding his head and while maintaining a smile on his face, he said, "This is the first time after a long time, someone asked me to wait." That''s true. Who would dare to ask the legendary mercenary king to wait for others? However, Ajax did it now, making the guild master smile a little. He was not offended; instead, he felt Ajax liked more for treating him like an equal with others whereas almost everyone in his life bootlicked him to get their things done. It took nearly 10 minutes before Captain Edmond appeared at their ce. "Hey, Ajax. Guild master? What are you doing here?" Edmond didn''t expect to see the guild master here as he asked what he was doing here. "Our mighty young master Ajax asked me toe here and he said he would tell what he wanted to tell only after your arrival. So, here I am, waiting for the great Captain Edmond to show up." The guild master jokingly replied to Edmond making Captain Edmond embarrassed foringte and making others wait for him. "Sorry. I encountered a group of Fire sword sect disciples bullying the young members from themon families. So, it took some time to discipline them." Captain Edmond rubbed the back of his head as he replied to Ajax and the guild master. "Did you discipline them or kill them?" The guild master shook his head as he asked Captain Edmond. "Aren''t they both the same?" Captained aked with a surprised look on his face and without doubt he didn''t deny that he killed them. ''Sigh'' Hearing that the guild master shook his head and looked at Ajax, "Are there any more peopleing here? Or are you going to tell us why we are here?" As for Captain Edmond, he shrugged as he looked at Ajax waiting for why Ajax called them here urgently. "By the way, Ajax, thanks for saving my sister, Edina and my brother inw, Bren." However, before Ajax could say anything, Edmond remembered something and hurriedly thanked Ajax before saying, "Even though I already owe you many times, you keep on helping me. I don''t know whether I will be able to repay you in this life." "What? Edina is alive." The guild master was shocked after hearing Edmond''s words and asked about them. ''What? She turned into a cursed being and stayed with Nameless cultivator?'' Soon, he learned everything from Captain Edmond who got to know through his sister. "It is good that she is normal." Finally, he nodded his head and looking at Ajax, he said, "Every time, I think you stop giving me shocks or surprises, you are proving me wrong." "Haha" Ajax could notugh as he didn''t know what he had to say. "Anyway, let''se to the point now." Nevertheless, Ajax brought them back to the topic before saying, "I want to destroy the Assassin sect." ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 900 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1085: [Bonus Chapter]All possible threats

Chapter 1085: [Bonus Chapter]All possible threats

"What?" Both the guild master and Captain Edmond raised their brows as they asked Ajax. "That''s right! I want to destroy the assassin sect." Ajax seriously nodded his head feeling that they might think his words were a joke. "It is impossible to destroy it unless the Protector Olek helps you. Even if we help you, we might only make things difficult because all the other sects wille to the assassin sect." "Yes, Ajax. What the guild master was saying is the truth. Even though the assassin sect is not liked by the other sects, they would stille to their rescue." Both the guild master and Captain Edmond shook their heads saying that it would be very risky. "But, still, if you want me to help you, I don''t mind tagging along with you." Before Ajax could say anything, Captain Edmond spoke again with a smile on his face. "Edmond, you..." The guild master wanted to say something to Captain Edmond; however, he didn''t know what to say. So, shaking his head, the guild master replied, "Sorry Ajax, I promised Protector Olek that I will not participate in the fights unless there is a threat to my mercenary guild. If there is anything else, I will definitely help you." The guild master sounded a little bit bitter while saying those words. "Actually, I don''t need you to participate in the battle. I am going alone this time." Previously, just when he started his cultivation, Ajax thought of using Captain Edmond and others to take revenge against the assassin sect. However, who would have thought that he would be confident enough in going against a top sect in the Zrochester province without anyone''s help in such a short time. "Huh? Then?" They were confused at Ajax''s words and asked what he really wanted. "If I go against the assassin sect, what are the possible dangers I have to be careful with?" Ajax looked at them with a slight smile on his face as he asked about the possible dangers? Who would know more about the top sects than these two? So, Ajax wanted to get some pro tips from them in order to not run away in the middle of the battle. "Ajax, do you really have the confidence to go against the assassin sect?" "They are more powerful than they look. Moreover, their sect is protected by many ancient barriers." They thought it was the new mission given to Ajax by his powerful ''Dream'' master. So, they were saying many things to check how confident he was. "You don''t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. In the worst-case scenario, I can take my master''s help or just escape into the Cursed Wilderness." To ease their minds, Ajax said what they wanted to hear first, before asking about the possible unexpected dangers while attacking the assassin sect once again. "If your master helps you when you are in danger, then it is okay." Ajax was their only connection to the Powerful cultivator and they didn''t want anything to happen to Ajax. So, when they heard his master mighte out to help him if he was in any kind of danger, they were able to heave a sigh of relief. "If you are going to destroy the assassin sect, you should enter the sect before they can activate their barrier. Once you are inside the barrier, then you can do anything you want to do." The guild master thought for a moment and said how to take care of the barrier that could enter to stop the attacks from a King realm cultivator. "The second thing you need to keep an eye on was the undead ancestors of the assassin sect. Unlike the other sects, who burn or bury their dead ancestors, the assassin sect would use some mysterious techniques to preserve their strength and make them into undead beings who would protect the sect." It was said by Captain Edmond who had a disgusted expression while saying those words. "There is a small possibility of other sects helping the assassin sect if it promises good rewards for them in assisting in fighting against you." Even though they still didn''t have an idea of how Ajax was going to fight against the assassin sect, they didn''t ask; instead, they continued to give more reasons from what Ajax had to be careful. "Last but not least, if you are sessful in destroying the assassin sect, you will be the target of the ''Headquarters of the assassin sect''." Soon, the guild master ended his words making Ajax note down all the points in his head. ''So, I have to keep an eye on the other sects and the headquarters if I am sessful in destroying it.'' Ajax didn''t think much about the undead assassins as he could take down anyone below the King realm without much problem. "Aren''t you not going to ask how I am going to destroy the assassin sect?" After noting down all the important points, Ajax asked the guild master and Edmond with a slight smile on his face. "Of course, we want to know; however, we know you are not going to say it." Captain Edmond bitterly shook his head as he knew about Ajax, at least he thought he knew about him. "That''s right!" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "However, I can say when I am going to destroy the assassin sect. At that time, why don''t you watch and have fun?" "Definitely." Edmond was the first one to nod his head because he wanted to see how powerful Ajax had be. He had watched how Ajax started his cultivation journey and how powerful he had be to take care of the assassin sect on his own in such a short time. "I will inform others too. I hope you will not disappoint us." Even though the guild master said he would be not participating in fights that don''t mean he should not watch them. Not only did he agree to watch the fight but he also said that he would bring other vagrant cultivators and their disciples. ''If anything goes wrong, I can pick Ajax to escape from the assassination. It is not like I am attacking them. I will just help Ajax in escaping. So, I am not breaking any promises.'' At the same time, the guild master silently thought to himself as he convinced himself that he was not breaking the promise he gave to the Protector Olek. "So, after three days, in the early morning, I will be starting my n of destroying the assassin sect. If you arete, I am not to be med for missing my dominating fight." Ajax said in an excited tone as he waved his hands at the Guild master and Captain Edmond as though he would be leaving. "Hey, Ajax, wait a second. Do you still want to go to that ce I said?" Just as Ajax was running away, Captain Edmond asked something that made Ajax stop in his tracks and thought about it. ***** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1086: Stephen''s greediness

Previously when Ajax came back to the Purple stone from the Five elemental world, he met Edmond who promised him to take to a ce where he could train. However, at the time, Ajax was in a hurry to enter the Sacred Pool and after that, he had to start his world-destroying missions because the regr training would not increase his cultivation. Now, he came back to destroy the assassin sect. Basically, he didn''t have much time to enjoy as his cultivation was still at level 7 general realm whereas his friends and associates had already entered the elite general realm and who knows what their current cultivation was. So, he had to find more evil worlds and destroy them. "Can it wait until I destroy the assassin sect? After destroying it, I will definitely go with you to that ce where you train." Ajax thought only for a second before saying that he would definitely visit that ce after he destroyed the assassin sect. "That''s a promise then." "Promise" With a smile, Ajax nodded his head as he promised Edmond. "Prepare all your trump cards properly for the next three days and don''t make the fight boring." Captain Edmond finished his words and said goodbyes to Ajax and the guild master before going back to his residence. Whileing, he came from the cursed wilderness; however, he was going to his residence. "Ajax, even though I liked your idea of destroying the assassin sect, the assassin sect is a mysterious one still hiding many secrets. So, you better be careful while attacking the assassin sect." After Captain Edmond left, the guild master warned Ajax to be careful when he started his n. As one of the three top sects in the Zrochester province, the assassin sect had a reason for maintaining its ce and it was not an easy thing to destroy a sect that was in the ce for centuries. So, who knows how many secrets they were hiding. "I will be careful, guild master. Thank you for your concern." Ajax thanked the guild master as he rushed towards the cursed wilderness again. ''This kid¡­.I hope everything goes right for him when he attacks the assassin sect.'' Looking at the silhouette of Ajax, the guild master silently muttered to himself. He sincerely hoped that Ajax would seed in getting his revenge against the assassin sect. The guild master and others knew about Ajax''s past and what happened at the Silver orphanage; however, the royal family turned a blind eye to it and there was nothing the vagrant cultivators could do. At most, they could push the royal family and the assassin sect-like earlier when the demons invaded the Zrochester province and make thempensate Ajax. However, thest thing that Ajax needs ispensation because he had his own way of getting top-notch resources from the powerful master. So, why would he take thepensation from the assassin sect and the royal family? ''I will go to Gaimont''s territory and check how the production of the battle beasts was going on. Also, it''s been a while since I checked on Darbaudr and others.'' The reason why Ajax nned the attack on the assassin sect in three days was that he wanted to spend some time in Gaimont''s territory and check how it was doing. In the Zrochester province, what Ajax was truly interested in was the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. ''What is inside the depths of the Cursed wilderness?'' ''Why is the essence of nature pure as they move towards the depths of the forest?'' ''Is there some kind of treasure?'' Questions like these weremon in the minds of everyone in the Zrochester province and Ajax was no exception. Moreover, in Gaimont''s territory, AJax was looking forward to seeing the battle beasts. ''Judging by the number of days I was away from that ce, I think, more than 50 battle beasts must have been created, right?'' When he thought about the battle beasts, Ajax increased his speed as he could not wait to see them. ..... In the royal pce, "I want to go back now. If you move aside, I will open the portal to the ''House of dragons'' myself." In the royal pce, the old man from the ''House of dragons'' looked at King Stephen and seriously asked him to move aside. "I don''t care whether your army is alive or dead and I will even move aside if you give me the remaining payment as you promised?" Stephen King was waiting for a moment like this for a while now. Currently, the old man was pale and weak. With a look, King Stephen could tell that the old man was severely injured. And he could also guess that the mission they came for must have gone wrong. So, King Stephen was adamant about getting his remaining payment. "I am asking you one final time. If you are not going to move aside, the Zrochester province will be having a new king tomorrow." The old man was already frustrated with the mission in which the ''House of dragons'' suffered a lot of losses and while he was barely keeping his life intact to rush back to his house to inform something important to his master, he was stopped by King Stephen who was asking for the remaining payment at a time like this. So, of course, he was seething with anger and wanted to kill King Stephen with his bare hands; however, he was controlling his anger as he knew he could not win unless he sacrificed his life to kill King Stephen. "Here, take these." Soon, the old man took out five colourful stones and threw them at King Stephen who caught them all without making them fall onto the ground.. "This payment is just right for our agreed amount. Then what about the payment for angering me?" King Stephen silently stored the colourful cultivator''s stones in his space ring and while releasing his cultivation pressure, he asked the old man. ''Idiot...what are you trying to do? Don''t anger him much. It is not nice for us to be enemies with the ''House of dragons''.'' King Stephen''s master scolded him and asked him what he was doing by angering the old man from the ''House of dragons''. ''Master, I am having the fun. So, please don''t disturb me.'' King Stephen asked his master to stop talking as he ced his hand on the old man''s shoulder before asking, "If you give me five more cultivator''s stones, I will go back to your so-called ''House of dragons''." "Damn you, fool. You are so greedy." Finally, the old man could not take it anymore as he cursed King Stephen and using all his remaining energy, he jumped onto King Stephen. King Stephen didn''t expect such amon move from the old man. Moreover, the old man was so fast that before he could react, the old man tapped a few acupoints making his limbs go numb and started choking him. ''Master, help me.'' Without a choice, King Stephen could only ask the help from his master. ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Are we going to reach 1000 Golden tickets? Chapter 1087: Emperor Kill...?

Chapter 1087: Emperor Kill...?

''He...help me¡­.master.'' Stephen was feeling suffocated as he called his master while thinking in his head, ''It will be a humiliation for me to die by suffocation.'' For him, prestige was everything and even if had to die, it should be in a proper battle while fighting against his opponent; however, the current way of dying wouldpletely damage his reputation. ''I already said not to mess with him. If you die, this province will be a better ce.'' Soon, King Stephen heard his master''s voice in his head making him even more frustrated. ''Pl...please master. Th..this old lizard is going to¡­.kill me.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t stop begging his master for his help. ''If you promise to control your greediness and anger, then I will help you. Because of those two qualities, you will be messing up my n of conquering this entire world.'' His master scoffed as he asked King Stephen to promise him something. ''I...I promise.'' King Stephen didn''t think much because each second he wasted the longer his suffering would be. So, he promised. ''If you break the promise, I will find someone else and I will make him the Emperor of the province.'' As soon as he finished his words, a golden coloured mist appeared out of King Stephen''s body and materialised into an old man wearing golden robes. "What? You are the Emperor Kill..." "You speak a lot. Now, you can rest." Before the old man from the ''House of dragons'' could finish his words, the golden robed old man scoffed at him before summoning a golden spear and pierced into his throat. Supppringly, the golden spear''s tip opened up like a mouth and swallowed the body before returning to its normal form. ''Cough...cough.'' As for King Stephen, he started coughing while gasping for breath. "What was he saying? Emperor Kill?" After adjusting his breath, King Stephen asked about thest words spoken by the old man from the ''House of dragons''. "It''s nothing." As soon as he finished his words, the golden-robed old man disappeared from his ce and entered King Stephen''s head before saying, ''You will forget what he said, right?'' Those words sounded cold and King Stephen knew if he said ''No'', he would be killed right now. So, he nodded his head and said ''Yes''. ''Good. I have expended so much energy. I will be resting for the next few months. I hope you don''t mess up the things.'' Soon, he started giving orders to King Stephen regarding certain things. ''What should I do if the ''House of dragons'' contacts me about them?'' King Stephen didn''t bother with the other things much as he asked what he had to do if someone from the ''House of dragons'' contacted him. ''Regarding what?'' Stephen master acted dumb as he asked Stephen. ''About this old man?'' ''Which old man?'' ''....'' Hearing his master''s reply, King Stephen understood what he had to do and it was ''He had to do nothing''. ''If someone asks me about it, I will tell them that they didn''t contact me after giving them a perfect ce to do their mission.'' That was the thought in King Stephen''s head to act like he didn''t know anything and the ''House of dragons'' would definitely think that something must have gone wrong during the mission. ''I wonder what made this old man be so weak.'' Earlier, King Stephen was caught off guard and that''s the only reason he had to beg his master to help him. ''My only pity is that the master''s weaponpletely swallowed the old man''s body; otherwise, all his possession''s would have be mine.'' King Stephen shook his head as his greed was still out of control. ''I know you bastard is not going to change. The reason why I made his body disappear is that I know you will take his possessions because of your greed.'' Just as King Stephen thought his master had entered into his slumber, he heard his master''s curses as he continued to hear, ''If you take a single artifact from him, the ''House of dragons'' might have their own ways to find out about it. Once the ''House of dragons'' deres away your province, at that time, even I can''t help you.'' ''Now, I am going for real.'' After finishing his words, his master stopped speaking and entered into his slumber. ''Che'' King Stephen became annoyed at his master''s words; however, he knew his master was being careful and he really can''t me him. However, when he thought about all the possessions of the old man from the ''House of Dragons'', he could not help but think of a possibility that his master must have taken those items for himself. ''Sigh'' Nevertheless, he shook his head and went back to his room. ''I need to think of a powerful royal family among the three from the Ylercester province for Daphne. I hope one of the young princes from those three royal families lke her.'' While going to his room, King Stephen thought about Daphne''s marriage. ..... In the starting territory of the inner section of the Cursed Wilderness. ''Finally, I am here.'' Even though he ran for thousands of kilometers, Ajax didn''t feel out of breath because of his unique cultivation. "Master Ajax." All the guards on the patrol knew about Ajax as they saw him previously once. So, the moment the brown wyverns saw Ajax, they hurriedly greeted him. "Hello there." With a slight smile, Ajax nodded his head as he entered the territory and without wasting any time, he directly entered the ce where Darbaudr lives. "Young master, you are here." As a space affinity cultivator, Darbaudr was very sensitive to the fluctuations and from a distance itself, he could tell Ajax was here. So, he hurriedly rushed to meet Ajax. "What are you doing? Stand up?" Darbaudr was giving him a knight''s salute. So, he helped the barbarian stand up. "How many battle beasts do we have here?" They casually spoke for a few minutes before Ajax asked about the battle beasts. "Follow me, young master. I will show you." With a mysterious smile on his ugly face, the barbarian king asked Ajax to follow him. "So mysterious? Haha." Looking at the barbarian''s actions which didn''t suit him at all, Ajaxughed as he followed without asking anything. Soon, he was taken to a ce where it waspletely filled with many rank 6 spirit beasts that emitted powerful auras. ''So many.'' Ajax already had a rough estimation of how many battle beasts would have been created until now; however, he waspletely shocked to see nearly double what he had estimated. "Master, this is the ce. There are a total of 97 battle beasts and only three more needed to reach 100." Darbaudr replied with a slight smile on his face because he knew his young master would be surprised to see so many battle beasts once. "What happened exactly? How could you have so many battle beasts?" Suppressing his shock, Ajax looked at the battle beasts in front of him and asked Darbaudr about it. ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. Chapter 1088: [Bonus Chapter]Changes in the battle beasts formation

Chapter 1088: [Bonus Chapter]Changes in the battle beasts'' formation

When Ajax established the Battle beasts formation, it could only produce 10 battle beasts for 10 days which means one normal spirit beast could be transformed into a battle beast every day. It''s been a little more than two months since he established it. So, ording to that calction, around 60 normal spirit beasts could be transformed into battle beasts. However, in front of him, there were 97 battle beasts which were more than he had expected. "Young master, a few days after you left from here, the battle beasts formation shone with a bright light for a few hours. From that day onwards, it is taking one seven days to finish? one batch of battle beasts'' training." Darbaudr replied to Ajax as to the reason why there were many battle beasts. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised by hearing Darbaudr''s reply and without wasting any time, he rushed towards the Battle beasts formation. ''System, show me the information.'' Ajax asked the system while touching the battle beasts formation on the ground. ''Ding, Item name:- Battle beasts'' formation (level 2). Grade:- High-level legend grade. Effect:- It can turn the 10 normal spirit beasts into battle beasts within seven days. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the information on the battle beasts'' formation because before he left Gaimon''ts territory, it was at Level 1; however, now it is level 2. ''How the hell did it upgrade to level 2?'' Ajax still didn''t understand how a battle beasts'' formation on its own; however, he thought for a second and asked the barbarian, "Darbaudr, when did it upgrade exactly? Is it after thepletion of the first batch of the battle beasts?" "Yes, young master. Just as the first batch of the battle beasts came out of the battle beasts'' formation, it glowed for sometime before the light disappeared." Darbaudr didn''t think much before replying to Ajax because how could he forget the bright glow on that day. It was so beautiful as he looked at the lights until they disappeared. ''As I expected.'' Finally, Ajax got to know how the battle beasts'' formation was upgraded and continued thinking, ''Maybe, after transforming a few more batches of the battle beasts, it might upgrade on its own again.'' Ajax was sure that the battle beasts'' formation would be upgraded again in the future on its own. So, he stopped worrying about it. "Young master, after the upgrade, in the starting three days, two battle beasts woulde out per each day." "From the current batch, seven battle beasts have alreadye out and only three or remaining and it would take 3 more days which woulde out one per day." In the next second, Darbaudr exined how the battle beasts'' formation changed working after the upgrade. ''By the time I start the attack on the assassin sect, I will have 100 battle beasts.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face when he thought about the 100 battle beasts. "Let''s go back and discuss something else now." Soon, Ajax and Darbaudr went back to the territory leader''s chambers along with others who were close with Ajax. ''If Gaimont was here, I would have known whether the aqua dragon blood essence helped him in evolving into a Golden dragon king or not.'' While moving Ajax thought about the Golden wyvern king Currently. Gaimont was still training under the Primeval Ent. So, he was not here. In the main chambers, other than Ajax and Darbaudr, the three snow lions, two eagle brothers, silver wyvern generals and the spirit beasts he helped be normal from the cursed energy, everyone was present which filled the entire chambers. "After three days, I am going to destroy the assassin sect and I want everyone to be prepared for that. There would be no expectation and you can kill whoever you want." Soon, Ajax exined what he was going to do and what they had to do. "Yes, master. We will do anything for you." Generally, spirit beasts were also bloodthirsty just like the demons and the devils; however, they could control it if required. Moreover, the spirit beasts like to kill the humans because humans had done so many terrible things to the spirit beasts and naturally the enmity of their ancestors had passed onto them. So, when Ajax said that he was going to destroy a human sect. So, of course, they were also happy and excited. "Go and take rest for now," Ajax dismissed everyone except for Darbaudr and the 10 silver wyvern generals. "Even though your King is my contracted spirit beast, I will not force you to attack the human sect. So, if you don''t want to, you can just forget I said anything." Ajax felt he had enough army to destroy the assassin sect. So, he didn''t want to force anymore. With that thought in his mind, Ajax gave the silver wyvern kings a choice to leave the fight. "No master. We want to participate in the destruction of the assassin sect." "Yes, master, since we are the weakest territory in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, these assassin sect people used toe here and toy with us." "This might be heaven''s work to give us a chance to participate in the destruction of that cruel sect." All the silver wyvern generals fell to their knees as they asked Ajax to let them participate in the destruction of the Assassin sect. "Okay okay. You don''t have to do that. Go and prepare your men. After three days, they should be in a perfect condition to fight." Ajax nodded his head and hurriedly asked them to stand up while agreeing to let them participate in the fight. "Thank you, master. We will take our leave." All the silver wyvern generals nodded their heads before leaving the chambers. ''Assassin sect, how many beings did you torture? Even these spirit beasts wanted to kill you. I wonder whether humans would alsoe to your rescue or not.'' Ajax felt real pity towards the assassination sect that there would be not a single soul who truly wanted the assassin sect to live. "So, how is your elemental spirit''s traininging?" Next, he started talking about normal life matters with his first follower. .... In the depths of the cursed wilderness, A portal opened in the middle of nowhere. From the portal, an old man and a young man came out of it. The young man waspletely covered in injuries and his left hand was missing whereas the old man was very angry while looking at the young man. "Elder Boron, can you please help me re-grow my left hand?" Mustering his courage, the young man asked the old man in a low voice. "You should be ashamed to ask me that?" "Damn it...why the hell am I training you, guy." "What did I say when you are entering a smaller world? Keep a low profile and only when you are confident enough in conquering the world, you should mess with it." What he got in return was a bunch of curses from the old man making the young man nearly cry. ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift.

Chapter 1089: [Bonus Chapter]Preparations

The young man was none other than Damon who had just lost his left arm and if not for the sudden appearance of Elder Boron, he would have lost his life along with it. "Who the hell asked you to enter that portal that leads to a normal world?" Elder Boron could not help but continued to curse Damon. "..." For the entire time, Damon remained silent while holding back his tears. "Here, swallow this pill." Finally, after a few minutes, Boron threw a pill at Damon as he disappeared from his pill. ''Phew...I know he had more of these pills. With this, I can grow my arm back before going back to save her.'' Damon clenched his fist before tossing the pill into his mouth. ''Aargh'' After a few seconds, Damon started groaning in pain as the pill started showing its effects. Mysterious a green-coloured energy came out of his blooded missing left arm as it started growing at an incredible speed. ''Aargh'' However, the pain also started increasing to an incredible level making Damon nearly wish he should better die. ''No, I have to go back for her.'' Nevertheless, something inside his heart made him endure the pain as his hand regenerated. ''Huf huf'' It didn''t take much time for his missing hand to be regenerated as he gasped for breath. "You rely too much on your elemental spirits. Even though you are a summoner that doesn''t mean you can ck. Only when both the summoners and the elemental spirits are strong, can they do anything." "Awakening a cultivator''sw doesn''t mean you are invincible.''" "Also, you are the only one who didn''t have a bloodline among the three. So, until you awaken a bloodline." Just as Damon was heaving a sigh of relief, Elder Boron once again started his nagging, making Damon silently listen to them. "Anyway, I will be throwing you in the underground earth prison I specially made up. To move out of it, you need your cultivator''sw ''Holy earth'' to reach at least level? 5. By the way, there is a time limit of 5 months. So, hurry up andprehend it; otherwise, you will be dying into that underground earth prison." Elder Boron scoffed at Damon and grabbed him before moving towards the cottage they created. "But, they will kill her. I have to save her." Damon struggled as hard as he could; however, how could he break free from the clutches of Elder Boron who had a mysterious cultivation level. "I will make sure nothing happens to her for the next five months. So, the sooner you break free from the underground earth prison, the sooner you can save her." By the time Elder Boron finished his words, they had already reached the cottage and with a wave, Damon disappeared from his ce before appearing in a dark underground earth prison. ''Damn it...I have to hurry up. Elder Boron doesn''t care about the lives of some random beings from the other worlds. Since he promised to keep her safe for the next five months, I have to break free from here.'' Initially, Damon started using all his attacks on the earthen walls around him; however, there was not a single scratch on any of the walls making Damon think back to Elder Boron''s words. ''As long as you increase your cultivator''sw Holy ''earth'' to level 5, you can break free from the prison.'' So, he decided to sit cross-legged and started hisprehension of the cultivator''sw. ¡­. ''He is the most talented one among the three young men; however, his interests always lie on something else other than cultivation.'' On the ground above the prison Damon was held in, Elder Boron silently muttered to himself as he hoped Damon would put his efforts into the cultivation. ''Let''s see how the other two are doing in their world-conquering mission.'' With that thought in his mind, Elder Boron opened a portal and entered it. ... Time continued to pass and in a sh, three days had gone by. During the three days, Ajax and his summons entered the battle tower and started clearing all the halls. After clearing 10 halls, Ajax got the notification asking him whether he wanted to enter the second floor of the battle hall. However, he chose to reject and cleared all the halls except for one which he intentionally decided to clear after destroying the assassin sect. Not only him, but even his summons like Volcanis, Cerauno, Twilight, Zen and many others also cleared the 14 halls and he made them stop at thest and 15th hall on the first floor. There was a reason why Ajax did that and it was because of system notification. ''Ding, As soon as a participant clears thest hall on the first floor, he would be sent to the second floor and with each hall cleared on the second floor, he would get good rewards. Note:- Create a winning streak to get bonus rewards. That''s right! Ajax was eyeing the bonus rewards and he wanted to be as strong as he could before entering the second floor. So that he and his summons could clear as many halls as possible on the second floor. Not only did he challenge the halls in the battle towers in thest three days but he also contacted his followers from the ''Second chance'' tab and they were ''Justice'' and ''Lechner''. Since the Assassin sect is not a good sect, to begin with, Ajax felt it was a good opportunity for Justice and Lechner. He asked them to assemble in the Gaimont''s territory after three days. Ajax was curious to see their growth in thest couple of months. "Everyone, are you ready?" Ajax summoned all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts as he filled them with confidence. The more confident his summons were, the easier it would be for him in destroying the assassin sect. Currently, in front of Ajax, there were thousands of spirit beasts that were excitedly roaring, making Ajax nod his head in satisfaction. "Everyone, I will summon you after I enter the assassin sect." After saving his words, Ajax summoned back all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts because it would be a difficult thing for him to enter the assassin sect with that many summons. And if the assassin sect activates the barrier, then his n to destroy the assassin sect would be terminated, which Ajax didn''t want to happen. "As for the spirit beasts of Gaimont''s territory, only those with the cultivation of rank 6e forward and the remaining spirit beasts please stay back to guard the territory." Ajax didn''t want to take all the spirit beasts from the territory as it would only create more casualties from his sides. So, he only asked the rank 6 spirit beasts toe forward to join him. Soon, nearly 1000 spirit beasts walked forward and most of them were of course, the silver wyverns. "So, are you ready to go against the assassin sect? You might even lose your lives in the process." Soon, Ajax warned the dangers of going against the assassin sect. The thing is, he could increase the battle prowess of his summons for some time with the help of his bloodline and that''s how he was able to keep his summons alive even after so many battles. Moreover, if there were more chances of dying, then he could always escape to the other worlds while summoning back all his summons into his inner world. However, it was different when it came to the spirit beasts from the territory. If there were some powerful figures hidden in the assassin sect, then it was thest day for them. So, he felt he needed to warn them about all the possible dangers he learned from the guild master and Captain Edmond. "Don''t worry, master. We know about all the threats and we are willing to die in the process." "Yes, master." "So what if we died? We are going to take down at least 10 of those assassin sect bastards along with us." "Roar" "Roar" It was the Silver wyvern generals who replied to Ajax first andter all the spirit beasts followed their words as they roared. "Good." Seeing the excitement and determination in the eyes of the thousands of spirit beasts in front of him, Ajax could not help but nod his head. "You ten will give the orders to the remaining spirit beasts and it''s better to create teams of 100. In every team, make sure there are at least 10 peak rank 6 spirit beasts other than you." Soon, Ajax asked the 10 silver wyvern generals to divide the rank 6 spirit beasts behind them into 10 teams along with some conditions. "Yes, master Ajax. Give us 10 minutes." As the generals of the territory, they knew each and every rank 6 spirit beasts. So, they only needed 10 minutes to create 10 bnced teams. "So, Darbaudr, did you learn the grade 5 sword dao?" While the silver wyvern generals were busy creating teams, Ajax looked at Darbaudr and asked with a slight smile. Earlier when he was in the Scourge demon world, Ajax got 300 grade 5 sword dao fragments and a perfect grade 5 sword dao rune. He used one for himself to learn the grade 5 sword dao and with the remaining 300 sword dao fragments, he created three perfect grade 5 sword dao runes before giving one to the barbarian. ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1090: Before the Storm

"Thanks to you I am able to finally break into the grade 5 sword dao." Darbaudr was very happy with his grade 5 sword dao as he thanked Ajax because, without the help of the sword dao rune, it would have taken him at least a few years to upgrade his sword dao to grade 5. "There is no need to thank me as I will be relying on you while destroying the assassin sect." Ajax shook his head as he replied with a slight smile on his face. "I will not let anything unexpected happen during your mission, young master." The barbarian replied with a serious look assuring Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' "You are here." All of a sudden, two figures rushed towards him and stood in front of him with a respectful look on their face. "It is time for you to take your revenge on the Assassin sect." The neers were none other than Justice and the Lechner, the ex-members of the assassin sect and waiting for an opportunity to destroy the assassin sect. Compared to Justice, Lechner was very eager to destroy the assassin sect because he lost his wife along with his newborn child. So, how would he be not so eager to destroy it? "Lechner, your cultivation is still at level 1 elite general realm. I suggest you kill low-level assassins to increase your cultivation before fighting the elders. Do you understand?" First, Ajax checked the cultivations of Justice and Lechner. Justice had a level 4 elite general realm whereas Lechner only had a level 1 elite general realm. Since their cultivation increases by killing the evil beings, Ajax wanted to bring them to the assassin sect. Moreover, they have past grudges with the assassin sect, it would help them control their inner demons. So, he suggested Lechner be careful. ''Looks like I need to take them with me for my world-conquering missions as it would definitely increase their cultivation by a lot.'' At the same time, Ajax nned to bring them along for theing world invasions to increase their cultivation. "Prophis, store all the hundred battle beasts into your inner world." Since he could not store the spirit beasts that didn''t form a contract with him, he could only ask Porpis to store them. "Yes, summoning master." Prophis came out of the inner world, stored all the battle beasts before going back into the inner world. "As for the Silver wyvern generals, you and your teams transform into humans and surround the assassin sect. Once the battle starts, I will give a single and you can start the invasion from the outside whereas I will do the damage from inside." Soon, Ajax gave thest orders to the silver wyvern generals who nodded their heads and started moving out of the territory. "Devourer eagles, you can follow them and I know you can''t transform into humans. So, you better fly at a good height to avoid any confrontation with other humans." Next, he gave the others to the 7 devourer eagle generals who also nodded their heads and followed the silver wyvern generals. As for the remaining three, he wanted to use them as mounts to reach the assassin sect. Unlike the spirit beasts from his world, the spirit beasts from the pure spirit beast words like devourer eagle king''s world, they barely speak the humannguage but they could not transform into humans. So, he could only order them to fly higher escaping the sight of the humans. "Since you also have some grudge with the assassin sect, you two can also transform into humans while joining them." Ajax looked at the two snow lions and asked them to follow the rest of the spirit beasts. Previously the snow lions were hunted by the assassin sect. So, Ajax knew that they would not sit silently when they had the chance to participate in the destruction of the Assassin sect. As for their child, he re-cultivated into human and his cultivation was in the rank 6 realm. So, he was not worried about him. "Let''s go then." He didn''t waste any more time as he and his followers jumped onto the devourer eagle generals. ''Screech'' With a screech, the three devourer eagle generals flew into the sky. ..... In the Xacaster province, "Damn it...what the hell are they doing? It''s been so long but still, there was no response from them." The master of the ''House of dragons'' opened his eyes in his cultivation chambers as he cursed the old man and others who entered the Zrochester province to get the mutated spirit crane. "Someone contact them and let me know the progress of their mission." After thinking for a moment, he shouted at who knows whom; however, there was a reply just after he finished his words. "Yes, family head." "Family head, no one is responding from the other side. I think something must have happened." After a couple of minutes, the same voice resounded in the master of the ''House of dragons'' cultivation chamber, making him frown. ''What? How can that be?'' He was shocked with the reply; however, when he thought about how long it took for the old man and others to return, he felt something must have happened to them just like his servant said. "Send three dragon warriors to investigate what happened to the old and others. Remember to tell him that, they should not confront anyone and mainly they should not meet the royal family." After thinking for a few moments, the dragon master ordered his servant outside the cultivation chamber. "Yes, family head. I will do that now." After saying that, the servant rushed to execute his family head''s orders. ¡­. In the Zrochester province. "Finally, I was able to rx a little after that master left this world." In the highest level of the heavenly cultivation enhancement hall, a middle-aged man was rxing on a soft bed as he ate the monster peach as though it was a normal fruit. He was none other than Protector Olek who was taking a break from his regr duties after so long. "It''s been a few months, right? Now, I can rx as much as I want. Moreover, he gave some good items for keeping an eye on that kid." Even though he had to do a few things for a powerful master, the rewards he got from him were also good. So, he didn''t have many regrets; instead, he was looking forward to the growth of the young man whom he had to keep tabs on. "As long as he grows, he will definitely be the emperor of this world. At that time, I will definitely dominate the protectors from the other provinces." He was in a happy mood as he thought about his future until a colourless elemental spirit entered the room. "My young master is trying to take his revenge against the assassin sect and my master doesn''t want the other powers to know about his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. So, take care of it." ''What?'' ****** The target for the next bonus chapter:- 1000 Golden Tickets. Or you can just gift. ***** Read my new book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''.

Chapter 1091: [Bonus Chapter]Entering the assassin sect

# Bonus chapters for Spacecraft (1/10) ''What?'' Protector Olek, who was rxing on his soft bed, stood up suddenly after hearing the words of the colourless elemental spirit. However, that elemental spirit had already disappeared making Protector Olek even more anxious. ''Damn it...what the hell is he nning now?'' ''Destroying the assassin sect on his own? What the hell is he thinking?'' ''Just because he could kill a level 10 elite general realm cultivator, that doesn''t mean he can destroy a top sect, right?'' ''What''s more, he ordered me to just stop the other sects from looking at his elemental spirits and his contracted spirit beasts. So, is he that confident in that young man?'' The more he thought about Ajax going to destroy the assassin, the more shocked he became. ''Wasting my time here will do nothing. I have to cast the barrier to iste the assassin sect. So that, no one could see from the outside what was happening inside the barrier.'' Soon, he thought of a brilliant n and that was to cast a barrier to stop the other sects from looking at Ajax''s elemental spirit beasts and the contracted spirit beasts. That''s right! He had already seen Ajax''s all elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and if not for the mysterious powerful cultivator behind Ajax, Protector Olek would have already taken them for himself. So, how could the royal family and the other top sects not hunt him down for Ajax''s secrets? Also, at the same time, he could not go to each top power in the Zrochester province and ask them not to look in the assassin sect''s direction as it would only raise the curiosity of those powers. And if he acted all mighty and powerful, they would request help from the other backers from the other provinces who might request their protector to check out what he was hiding. So, Protector Olek thought of casting a barrier to stop any kind of voice transmissions from going in and out. ''Even though I can''t stop anyone from entering or going out of the barrier, I think this will do the trick. Also, I will just open my inheritance ground with a couple of cultivation techniques and a few cultivation resources to divert the attention of others from the assassin sect.'' Soon, Protector Olek thought of everything and started working on it. He had a few high-level servants who could easily spread the word all over the province. So, he was not worried that his inheritance grounds would not be discovered. ''If I am able to do this, he might reward him with a mythical grade sword, right?'' Soon, Protector Olek started thinking about his rewards from Elder Boron. ... ''Screech'' As for Ajax, he didn''t have the slightest idea that he was always looked after by Elder Boron and Protector Olek and they also knew about all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Currently, he was riding devourer eagle generals along with his three followers, Darbaudr, Justice and Lechner as they flew towards the assassin sect. With the speed of the devourer eagle generals, it didn''t take much time for Ajax and others to reach the assassin sect. ''Screech'' Once they entered into the perimeter of the assassin sect, from time to time, the devourer eagle generals were letting out screech on the orders of Ajax. "Who are you? It is a punishable offence to fly in the assassin sect''s perimeter. So, ask your spirit beasts tond on the ground." Soon, an assassin sect who was on guard duty used a voice enhancement talisman to shout at Ajax and his followers. "Screech" However, Ajax didn''t order the devourer eagle generals tond on the ground yet as he looked into the distance as though he was searching for someone. ''I wonder whether they were here or not?'' After checking his surroundings for a few moments, Ajax thought, ''I think they might be? watching from somece.'' "If you are noting down, we will be attacking you." The assassin on the watch duty frowned when he saw the cultivators were noting down. So, he threatened them while pointing three huge magical artilleries at the three devourer eagle generals. "Fine." Seeing the magical artillery, Ajax shook his head with a scoffed before ordering the three devourer eagle generals tond. "State what business do you have with the assassin sect? Why are you flying across the sect?" A dozen of assassin sects surrounded Ajax and his followers as they seriously asked about their reason for entering the perimeter of the sect and why they were flying. If not for the cultivation of the barbarian whom they were unable to see and two peak rank 6 devourer eagle generals, they would have been killed without asking for the reasons. That''s how this world was. "My young master here wants to talk with your sect leader." Darbaudr released his cultivation pressure as he replied for the purpose of their visit. ''Aargh'' The dozen of assassins around them were mostly level 1 elite generals except for one who seemed to be their leader with a cultivation level 6 elite general. How could they endure the cultivation pressure of Darbaudr who had a cultivation of peak level 10 elite general realm and he had to cultivate twice to reach that cultivation. So,pared to normal cultivators, he was more powerful and adding to the fact he was a barbarian along with a space elemental affinity, he was more powerful than powerful peak elite general realm cultivators. Just as the assassin guards were about to be killed, a cultivation pressure came from inside the sect and it negated half of the barbarian''s cultivation pressure easing the pain for the guards. "Please wee to my assassin sect. I am the 10th elder of the sect. Why don''t you enter and have some delicacies while I go and inform the sect leader about your arrival?" At the same time, a silhouette came out of the sect and stood in front of the assassin sect'' guards as he invited Ajax and others into the sect. "Let''s go." Ajax nodded his head as he calmly entered the sect. "Thanks, elders." "If not for you, we would have died already." All the guards were gasping for air as they thanked the tenth elder. "Idiots." As for the tenth elder, he nced at the dozen watch guards lying on the ground and scolded before muttering, "You are no longer required for the sect." As soon as he finished his words, a few poison darts appeared out of nowhere as they killed all the watch guards. ''Puchi'' ''Thud'' All the assassin guards were having shocked expressions as they still didn''t understand why they were killed just for doing their job. Never in their wildest dreams, they imagined they would be killed by their own elder. ''This must be karma.'' This was theirst thought as they fell to the ground looking at the sky. "Throw these bodies in the underground abyss. At least they would be helpful for us in providing some pure dark energy for cultivation." He ordered the other guards who came a littlete before going back into the sect. ***** Okay...no more targets. I owe you many bonus chapters now.

Chapter 1092: Single Sword sh

''How cruel'' Ajax looked at the scene of the tenth elder killing the dozen assassin guards and muttered to himself. ''Young, I can sense many powerful auras lock on to us.'' Along the way, Darbaudr sensed that they were watched by many hidden powerful auras from the depths of the sects. Other than that, many of the assassin sect disciples looked at Ajax and his followers with a curious gaze wondering who they were. ''I know him.'' Suddenly, one of the assassin sect disciples whispered about Ajax''s identity to the disciples beside him. ''What? Is he the same Ajax that our sect was hunting previously?'' ''How do you know?'' ''Don''t just speak non-sense just like you always do.'' ''If he is really Ajax, then he would have simply run far away instead of entering our sect.'' ''So, you are telling he just wants to die ining to our sect...scoff.'' Soon, the rest of the disciples mocked the disciple who identified the neers into their sect as Ajax. Ajax''s name was very popr in the assassin sect and every disciple knew about it because he caused huge fluctuations in the sect by killing the top genius like Jastin in the champion''s contest. ''Idiots, just open your dog eyes and see properly.'' The disciple could not take it any longer as he shouted at them before leaving from that ce and stopped caring whether they believed him or not. ''Huh? Looks like he is really Ajax.'' ''He looks a little mature from the champion''s contest.'' ''Also, he has this barbarian ve with him. So, he is really Ajax.'' Even though Ajax was famous in the assassin sect, few people saw Ajax and only a few remembered it; however, it didn''t take much time before they identified Ajax. ''I wonder why he came here.'' ''Isn''t it the same as looking for death bying here?'' ''If I get the chance, I want to avenge Jastin but he is way more powerful than me. I hope the sect leader and the elders avenge senior brother Jastin by killing this bastard.'' Soon, everyone hopes that Ajax never returns back from their sect and should be killed by the sect. However, what they didn''t know was Ajax was thinking the same and he wanted to erase the assassin sect from the face of Zrochester province. Ajax and his followers were guided into the main hall of the sect. "So, what do you want, Ajax." Once they sat down, the tenth elder asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. At the same time, he silently cursed in his head, ''How dare hee to the sect despite giving us endless troubles for the past few months.'' How could he not curse Ajax because of him, they almost lost contact with the headquarters. A few undead assassins were destroyed by his elemental spirit. Their genius disciple Jastin was killed. After these many things, he still has to invite them into the sect. So, of course, he was angry and he was hoping that his sect leader could change his decision to kill him. "Tenth elder, why did you bring this bastard into the sect?" All of a sudden, a couple of sect elders entered the main hall and they were shocked to see Ajax in the hall before shouting at the tenth elder. "If you want, then go and ask the sect leader." For some reason, the tenth elder felt excited when he saw the two neers because they were none other than the newly promoted first and second elders. And Jastin was the son of the first elder. So, he knew that he would definitely kill Ajax. "Sure. But before that, I will kill him and then meet the sect leader." Without wasting any time, the first elder looked at Ajax and released his peak level 10 elite general realm cultivation. ''Shadow region.'' At the same time, he activated his cultivator''sw as he binded Ajax in a 10-meter radius ck ground. The 10-meter radius shadow region means the first elder''s cultivator''sw is at level 1. "Do you regret killing my son Jastin?" He knew he could kill Ajax whenever he wanted; however, he wanted to know something. "Nope." Even though he waspletely binded by the shadows, there was no fear in Ajax''s eyes as he shook his head. "Darbaudr, it is not good to separate the father and son for so long. Why don''t you send him on his way to meet his dead son." At the same time, Ajax nonchntly ordered the barbarian. "Yes, young master." Once he received Ajax''s order, Darbaudr summoned his barbarian king''s sword and using the grade 5 sword dar, he casually swung it at the first elder. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''Thud'' Without much surprise, the second elder didn''t stand a chance against the first elder who only learned a cultivator''sw recently. "What?" The second and tenth elders were shocked when they saw the powerful elder among the elders was killed in a single sh. ''Sect leader, please help us.'' Soon, they secretly called the sect leader for the help who replied, ''What happened?'' ''The newly promoted first elder was killed by Ajax''s ve.'' ''What?'' After learning what happened, the sect leader Gerg became furious. He was already trying his best to keep calm and try to pacify the situation between Ajax and the assassin sect on the advice of someone from the headquarters who owed him a favour. That''s the reason why he invited Ajax into the sect to pacify things. Even though he knew that Ajax had monstrous talent in cultivation, he never imagined that Ajax would be brazen enough to order his ve to kill the first elder of the sect. It was a p in his face. So, stopping all his work, he hurriedly rushed out of his cultivation chamber. "I just remembered that there is something I need to do in the herb garden. I wille back." "Me too. I need to check where the disciples were properly putting their efforts into the training." Both the elders knew that staying in the same hall as Ajax would be dangerous for them. So, they wanted to leave the hall by giving some reason. Moreover, it will take a couple of minutes for the sect leader to arrive into the hall. "You don''t have to worry about it. If the sect leader Gerg didn''t give the answers, there would be nothing left in the assassin sect for you to take care of." With a scoff, Ajax stopped both the elders, making their foreheads cover in the cold sweat. "Ajax, what you are doing is not right." "If the sect leaderes here and sees the corpse of the first elder, he will not let you live for another moment." Even though they were scared, they were furious with Ajax''s words. So, they tried to intimidate Ajax with their words while keeping a safe distance from the barbarian. "Since the sect leader is going to kill me anyway, why don''t I send you on your way first?" Ajax hated when people tried to intimidate him. So, he said a few words to the two elders before looking at the Barbarian. ***** Okay...no more targets. I owe you many bonus chapters now.

Chapter 1093: [Bonus Chapter]Destruction of the assassin sect (1)

# Bonus chapters for Spacecraft (2/10) A few kilometers away from the assassin sect, ''Hey, did you hear that there is an inheritance ground opening in a few hours? Are youing?'' ''Why not? Since the inheritance ground is rated ''safe'', why can''t I enter it?'' ''By the way, who gave that rating?'' ''Who? Of course, it is Protector Olek.'' A group of low-level cultivators muttered as they spread the news regarding the opening of a new inheritance ground which was rated ''Safe'' by the protector Olek. The same thing is happening all over the Zrochester province except in the assassin sect as though it was isted. ''Huh? A new inheritance ground?'' The guild master and others who was ready to watch the show raised their brows when they got to know about it. "Leave it. Let''s see the interesting fight." For the vagrant cultivators, the items from a safe rated inheritance grounds were not enticing him whenpared to Ajax''s fight. So, they decided to stay back and keep their sights on the assassin sect. ..... In the main hall of the assassin sect, "Puchi" Both the second elder and the tenth elder fell to the ground just like the first elder lying in their own pool of blood. "Damn you, Ajax. How dare you enter my assassin sect and kill my sect elders?" Soon, the sect leader Gerg appeared and looking at the three corpses on the ground, he became so furious as he shouted at Ajax. "Hey, old man. I am not deaf. You speak normally, I can you." Ajax rubbed his ears as he calmly replied to the sect leader Gerg. "Sect leader, he is so arrogant." "Yes, sect leader, how dare he kill our sect elders in our own sect?" "Don''t waste your breath on him, sect leader. Let''s kill him and his ve first." Suddenly, the rest of the sect elders appeared behind the sect leader as they suggested killing Ajax as soon as possible. Until now, they were scared to appear in front of Ajax; however, with the appearance of the sect leader Gerg, they were no longer scared and even suggested the sect leader Gerg kill him. "Before you kill me, you have to fight my summons." Ajax scoffed at the spineless sect elders of the assassin sect before summoning all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Rumble" "Roar" The moment they were summoned, the main hall of the assassin sect was unable to hold them in it as it was torn down by the contracted spirit beasts like the Divine twilight destructive dragon. ''What?'' ''Some many elemental spirits?'' ''A divine dragon?'' ''Different elemental spirits?'' Seeing the sight of elemental spirits with different elements and a divine dragon, the sect leader Gerg and his sect elders were shocked as they muttered to themselves. "You...you are that masked young man from before." It didn''t take much time for the sect leader Gerg to identify Ajax''s other identity. Earlier, Ajax covered his face with ''Hollow face'' to cover his identity to fight the top powers of the Zrochester province; however, the sect leader was able to recognize Ajax''s summons and confirmed that Ajax was the masked young man. "That''s right!" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head as he continued, "Since you wanted to kill me, kill my summons first and then let''s talk about it." "What are you looking at? Leave the sect leader Gerg and fight the sect elders as they were eager for a fight for a while now." Next, he looked at his summons and ordered them to take care of the sect elders. "Consider it done, summoning master." "We will take care of them, master." All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads and rushed towards the sect elders before picking each one for themselves. ''Roar'' As for the divine dragon, he didn''t bother with the sect elders; instead, it was doing its favourite thing and it was the destruction of the Assassin sect. ''Are there only fewer opponents to fight? Don''t worry, I will just destroy the buildings and let you fight the opponents.'' This was the mentality of the divine dragon as he didn''t even bother to look at the sect elders as he knew the other summons would take care of them. "Y...you., what the hell do you want? You have already made the assassin sect restless and why do you want to destroy it more?" The sect leader Gerg clenched his fists as he looked at Ajax with blood-red eyes. "Actually, I wanted to have a talk with you before destroying your sect; however, your first elder wanted to show his newly awakened cultivator''sw, making me do what I am doing right now." Ajax didn''t fear the red-eyed sect leader Gerg as he continued to speak, "I want some answers from you. As long as you give them, I will give you a quick death and leave your body intact." There was no way Ajax was letting the sect leader Gerg live after today. However, he could still give quick death as an option. "Damn you. I have had enough of you already." As soon as he finished his words, the sect leader Gerg disappeared from his ce and appeared right behind Ajax. "I will be the one to give you the quick death." The sect leader Gerg''s eerie voice resounded in Ajax''s ear; however, even at that moment, Ajax had a slight smile on his face. ''Thud'' Just when the sect leader Gerg''s dagger was about to sh through Ajax''s neck, Ajax and Darbard swapped their ce and in the ce of Ajax''s neck, after position swapping, the sect leader Gerg''s dagger made a small scratch on the barbarian''s strong body. ''What?'' The sect leader Gerg was shocked by the sudden position swap of Ajax and the barbarian. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' Before the sect leader Gerg could activate his cultivator''sw, the barbarian king''s sword in Darbaudr''s hand chopped the sect leader Gerg''s hand that was holding the dagger. ''Aargh'' The sect leader Gerg didn''t expect the barbarian to be that powerful and had a rare skill of position swapping. He tried his best to control the pain; however, the pain was not normal as he felt thousands of needles were pierced into the chopped off arm. "Sigh...why do you want the hard way?" Seeing the groaning sect leader Gerg, Ajax sighed as he sat down amidst the pile of corpses. "I am not going to kill you." Even though he was in so much pain, the sect leader Gerg was unable to take the pitying look that Ajax was giving him. So, he rushed towards Ajax once again to kill him. However, how could he reach Ajax when Darbaudr was keeping an eye on the sect leader Gerg. Just as the sect leader Gerg rushed, a sword sh appeared out of nowhere and cut the other arm of the sect leader Gerg. ''Aargh'' ''Thud'' The pain doubled as he groaned so loud that the sect elders who were fighting in the distance felt the fear in their spine. "I will ask you onest time, are you going to answer my questions?" ***** Author''s request:- Please read and vote for my new book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1094: Destruction of the assassin sect (2)

Chapter 1094: Destruction of the assassin sect (2)

"I will ask you onest time, are you going to answer my questions?" Looking at the sect leader Gerg who was lying on the ground and groaning in pain, Ajax asked with a serious look on his face. "Just kill me...kill me." The sect leader Gerg was scared shitless and he knew that if Darbaudr cuts his legs, he can''t bear the pain. So, he asked Ajax to kill him. Right now, the sect leader Gerg just wants to die as he was unable to bear the pain. "Sure but before that answer my questions." There was no change in his expression as Ajax maintained a serious look on his face as he asked the sect leader Gerg to answer his questions. "A...ask." The sect leader Gerg was in a helpless situation and he couldn''t even kill himself as his hands were already chopped off. So, he hurriedly requested Ajax to ask his questions. "Why did you kill orphans from the Silver Orphanage in the Vr city?" Ajax nodded his head as he asked his first question. "Because we got that mission from our backer." The sect leader Gerg didn''t even think for a moment before replying to Ajax''s first question. "Your backer? Who is that?" Ajax frowned as he didn''t expect someone from the other province would give such a mission. "Why? What will they get by killing a bunch of orphans?" Whenever he thought about it Ajax could feel the rage inside him as he asked the sect leader Gerg. "Th...that, I don''t know...aargh. But..." The pain the sect leader Gerg was feeling increased as time passed as he could not help but groan while replying to Ajax. "But what?" Ajax urged the sect leader Gerg to just finish his words. "But it is rted to you. That''s the reason why we continued to hunt you down after you escaped into the Cursed Abyss." While saying that, the sect leader Gerg had a slight smile as though it was funny as he continued, "You are the main reason for the death of so many innocents." The sect leader Gerg looked like he would be losing his consciousness anytime now; however, he wanted to say those words because he knew his death is imminent after he finished answering Ajax''s questions. "Wanted to kill me? Why?" Ajax frowned when he heard the reply as he didn''t expect the assassins toe for him on that night. But what he didn''t understand was why. "I don''t know." The sect leader Gerg still had a smile on his face as he shook his head before saying, "If you want to know more, you have to go to the Ylercester province and ask the assassin sect for yourself; however, I doubt they know more than me." As soon as he finished his words, the sect leader Gerg lost consciousness. "Hey, wake up. So, who will know more about that incident?" Ajax became anxious as he shook the sect leader Gerg''s body; however, the sect leader didn''t wake up and from the looks of it, he would not make it out alive. ''Damn it.'' Ajax cursed the sect leader Gerg as he used the advanced spatial des to kill him. ''Sigh'' However, soon, Ajax regretted killing the sect leader Gerg even before he tried to save him. "Darbaudr, let''s see if anyone else in the assassin sect knew more about this incident." Since he could not bring the sect leader Gerg back to life, Ajax decided to interrogate others in the sect to find out more about the massacre. On the other side, Ajax''s summons were having fun while fighting the sect elders and other high-level assassins of the sect. However, how could they stand a chance against Ajax''s summons? Even before they could use their powerful skills and attacks, the assassin sect''s top echelon waspletely destroyed. "Please let me live. I will be your ve." "From today onwards, the assassin sect is my enemy. I will kill everyone with my own hands but let me live." "You are all devils and your master is a heartless devil. He will rot in hell." The assassin sect disciples who were being killed by Justice cursed him; however, Justice didn''t bother about it as he killed them at his own pace while increasing his cultivation. What''s more, with every single one of the assassin sect disciples he killed the higher feedback energy hews getting which was increasing his cultivation at an incredible speed. So, he was not worried about killing innocent people; instead, his determination to kill them increased even more. The same thing was happening with Lechner. For the first time in his life, Lechner felt killing is justified as he killed everyone that appeared in front of him. ''This is for the sake of my wife and newborn child.'' Compared to justice, Lechner was much more aggressive as he killed the assassin sect members at an incredible speed. It took no more than a few minutes for the entire assassin sect to be turned upside down by Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. ''What? He had so many elemental spirits with different elements.'' ''Time elemental spirit, Space elemental spirit, Blood, lightning, beast...so many rare and unique elemental spirits.'' ''Not only that, he even had a divine dragon.'' The guild master and the others who were watching from a distance were shocked to see so many elemental spirits and a divine dragon. ''Is he a re-cultivated spirit beast?'' Also, they were shocked by a young boy who was killing elite general realm assassins without much difficulty. ''Even though he was powerful, his execution was not good. So many assassins have already escaped.'' Looking at the escaping assassin, Udo shook his head. ''Yes.'' The other vagrant cultivators also nodded their heads agreeing to what Udo had said. ''I don''t think so.'' However, Edmond knew that Ajax was not so stupid to let the assassins run away. ''Roar'' Just when they were discussing, they heard a loud roar from the distance as they saw more than a hundred spirit beasts rushing towards the assassin sect while killing the assassins that were running away. ''What?'' ''Where did these spirit beastse from?'' ''Hey look, they are not the only group, there are other groups with around the same hundred spirit beasts rushing towards the assassin sect from all directions.'' ''Looks like he was able to form some kind of alliance with a spirit beast king from the inner section of the cursed wilderness.'' Soon, their views regarding Ajax changed as they silently thought in their heads. Just when they were thinking that Ajax would no longer surprise them, they saw another scene that gave them another shock. It was because they saw Prophis summon 100 powerful-looking rank 6 spirit beasts from who knows where. ''Now, I want to be the disciple of that powerful cultivator.'' ''Me too.'' ''Me three.'' Soon, the three of the vagrant cultivators muttered in a low voice but everyone was able to hear them. ''You old men, what to be the disciple of a powerful master? In your dreams. I don''t think he would take you as ves, not to mention disciple.'' Madam Sandra scoffed at them as she looked at the half-destroyed assassin sect. ***** Please read and vote for my new book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1095: Ancient Assassin sect

Chapter 1095: Ancient Assassin sect

The 100 spirit beasts that Prophis summoned were none other than the battle beasts and once they started fighting, the assassin sect didn''t stand a single chance. All the disciples were getting killed. All the elders were left alive because Ajax ordered them not to kill but they were not in a position to fight. Some contracted spirit beasts started consuming the bodies. As for the divine dragon, it didn''t bother anyone and destroyed the buildings at a slow pace while enjoying the feeling of destruction. Those who are unlucky to stay in those buildings, died along with the buildings and those who are lucky enough to jump out of the buildings, were killed and devoured by the battle beasts. So, basically, there was no way the assassin sect of the Zrochester province was going to survive this. Within an hour or so, there was nothing left for the divine dragon to destroy as he had already destroyed everything belonging to the assassin sect. Except for six elders who were still alive, the entire assassin sect was destroyed. "Twilight" Soon, Ajax shouted at the divine dragon after taking a nce at the six severely injured sect elders. "Master?" Twilight hurriedly flew towards Ajax andnded beside him. "What did I say? Do not destroy the main halls of the sect as we can take the valuables from it. But what did you do?" Ajax was furious as he shouted at the divine dragon. "What did I do?" Only then the divine dragon looked around and found out there was not a single building standing. What''s more, even the herb garden of the assassin sect was destroyed. "Sigh" Looking at the innocent look in the eyes of the divine dragon which, of course, didn''t suit the dragon, Ajax sighed. "Let it be." Soon, Ajax shook his head as he looked at the severely injured sect elders and asked. "So, who is going to answer my question?" Since the divine dragon is always forgetful of things when ites to destruction. So, he didn''t think much about it. "If you are going to kill us, then just do it. We are not going to say anything." "That''s right! We will not answer a thing." "I am ready to die. Just kill me." All the sect elders didn''t agree to answer any questions and were strongly opposed except for a single elder who witnessed the torture of the sect leader Gerg. "I will answer as long as I know." Despite knowing the fact that Ajax would kill him, the eighth elder just wanted to escape the torture and he wanted a quick death. "Good. Darbaudr, we have no use for them. Just make sure they die so easily." Ajax revealed an evil smile as he ordered his follower while looking at those elders. "Damn you, traitor." "Aren''t you ashamed?" "You will rot in the depths of hell." The five elders started cursing the eighth elder before being taken away by the barbarian. "We all rot in hell. So, what''s the point?" The eighth elder shouted back at them as he looked at Ajax before saying, "You can ask now." "I want to know about your backer. Say everything you know about it." Ajax felt funny with the cursing of the five elders that was taken away by the barbarian; however, he didn''tugh out loud because he had a serious thing to do. So, he asked the eighth elder to say everything he knew about the assassin sect''s back. "We are one of the two branches under the Ancient Assassin sect from the Xacaster sect." Soon, the eighth elder started answering as he continued, "However whenpared to the other branch in the Ylercester province, we are quite weak." "What about the mission from eight months back? The mission was to massacre the children from the Silver Orphanage. Is it sent by your main sect?" Ajax nodded his head and asked about the massacre. "Orphanage? Oh...right! It was not only the Silver Orphanage but the children of the entire Vr or Pr city had to be killed and don''t ask me the reason because I don''t know." Because Ajax could ask the reason for the massacre, the eighth elder had already said that he didn''t know. "So, who knows about it?" Ajax frowned as he asked with a serious look on his face. "One, you have to go the other branch of the assassin sect in the Ylercester province or you can directly go the Xacaster province." With a light chuckle, the eighth elder continued, "However, even if you have so many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, you will be killed the moment you enter the Xacaster province...Haha." "Huh?" Ajax frowned when he saw how the eighth elder was chuckling and asked, "How powerful is your main sect?" "Who knows? But there were many king realm cultivators. So, no matter how many different elemental spirits you have, you can''t win." The eighth elder''s voice became weak with each passing second; however, there was no fear in his eyes as though he already knew long back about his death. "What about the other assassin sect in the Ylcerster province? You got that massacre mission from there, right?" Ajax shook the eighth elder a little to wake him up and asked. "All the missions we receive will be passed through that branch. So, you might find the reason in the sect. But, why waste your time on them? Just to and face the main sect in the Xacaster province¡­.Haha" The eighth elder didn''t stop chuckling as he answered all the questions. ''Damn it...I have to find out why the massacre happened. How am I be connected to it? Is it because of the system?'' ''Do they know about the system already?'' ''If they are really that powerful, why don''t they directlye here and take it?'' After his interrogation with the sect leader Gerg and the eighth elder, Ajax''s head had few more questions. And whenever he remembered the sect leader Gerg''s words of ''You are the reason for the massacre'', he was feeling ufortable. ''I need to find out and I have to kill the true mastermind and erase all his subsidiary sects and the main sect.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he swore to destroy everything rted to the mastermind. Only then, he could have peace of mind; otherwise, his head will always have questions that would haunt him forever. "Everyone, check for any valuables that are still intact. Mainly, look for the ck-coloured status." After closing his eyes for a few moments to calm himself and remove the crazy thoughts from his head, Ajax ordered his elemental spirits to check for the valuables. His main focus was on the assassin god''s statutes and ording to the system, as long as he collected 12 of them, something good will happen. He already had three of those assassin god statues. So, he was sure there would be more in the sect. So, he asked them to be careful in checking the valuables. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully destroying the assassin sect and removing an evil sect from Zrochester province. A reward is being prepared for the host. Suddenly, a system notification rang in his head, giving him a pleasant surprise. ***. MagnusChase2020, thanks for the Inspiration capsule. Chapter 1096: [Bonus Chapter]New assassin god statues

Chapter 1096: [Bonus Chapter]New assassin god statues

''A reward?'' Ajax was surprised and at the same time, he became a little curious about the reward. The thing is, he was not expecting a reward from the system just for doing his job of taking revenge against the assassin sect. So, of course, he was excited with the surprise reward. ''What is it, system?'' Ajax asked with a curious look on his face. ''Ding, Host, please be patient. Ajax shook his head when he saw the system notification and then looked at the eighth elder. "Do you regret doing the things you did in the past?" Ajax thought of something and asked the eighth elder. "No. Absolutely not...haha." With a chuckle, the eighth elder shook his head as he continued, "I joined this sect because I like killing. I like killing the weak, small, innocent and old." "Have you ever seen thest look on their faces? They have this look ''Why am I dying?'' ''Is this my fate?''." "Just imagining that look on their faces makes my hair raise." The eighth elder closed his eyes as he reminisced the feeling of what he just said making Ajax clenched his fists. ''I thought to give him a second chance. But, he will only do more atrocities.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax summoned his inheritance sword and casually slit the throat of the eighth elder. "Since you answered all my questions, I am giving you a quick death and I will leave your body intact." Looking at the corpse in front of him, Ajax muttered to himself as he stretched his body a little. "Young master, I finished the task. They are so weak and could not bear the pain for much longer. But still, they suffered a lot for around five minutes." Soon, Darbaudr walked towards Ajax and exined how the torture went with the five elders. "Let it be." Ajax was in no mood to bother about those sect elders any longer and looked at all the spirit beasts around the assassin sect, he thought about something. "Everyone, the assassin sect is no more. You can go back to the territory." And it was to inform them to go back to their home. "Roar" All the spirit beasts from the territory respectfully nodded their heads and roared at Ajax as though they were thanking him for making them a part of the destruction of the Assassin sect. Soon, they transformed into humans and slowly returned back to their homes with great satisfaction. "Master, look, what I found." it excitedly ran to Ajax with a ck-coloured statue in his hands. "Good work, it." Ajax nodded his head and checked the information on the statue before keeping it in the inventory. Next, he checked the space rings of the sect leader Gerg and the other elders and found another three assassin statues. Just like the previous statues, they all used to transform the user into an evil being. "Good thing, I caught them off guard; otherwise, it would have been trouble dealing with the transformed assassin." With the help of the assassin statues, the assassins could increase their battle prowess greatly; however, it came at a cost and it was to transform into a mindless monster. So, unless it was absolutely necessary, they decided not to use the assassin god statues. ''I am only collecting them to see what would happen if all the assassin god statues were bought together. As for using them, I don''t have any ns for it.'' Ajax shook his head before throwing thetest three assassin god statues into the inventory. ''Adding to the previous three statues and the four statues I found today, there will be a total of seven statues. That means, I only need five more statues.'' Ajax''s mini-goal of collecting the 12 twelve statues is nearing its end. So, he was satisfied. ''I think the other five assassin god''s statutes will be with the other branch from the Ylercester province.'' Since Ajax found out more about the assassin sect, he felt he could find the remaining five statues in the other branch; however, he had a small doubt. ''Since this sect in the Zrochester province is weaker than the Ylerecester branch, then why does this sect have more assassin god statues?'' ''Anyway, who cares. I will wait until I finish the mission ''Protect the little blue''. After that, I will gain the ability to pass through the barriers between the provinces.'' Once Ajax learned about the fact that there was another branch in the Ylercester province, he already thought of paying a visit to them. As for the main sect ''Ancient assassin sect'' in the Xacaster sect, Ajax wanted to wait until he had more King realm summons under him. ''King realm...King realm. I need to be one soon.'' At the same time, he wanted to be the King of the realm as soon as possible; however, he knew it would take a lot of time before he reached that realm. Nevertheless, he has patience and time. ''Just you wait, the so-called ''Ancient assassin sect'', I will being soon for you.'' Ajax swore to remove such an evil sect from the face of this Purple stone world. ''System, how long are you going to take to give me the reward?'' It''s been a while since he got the system notification of preparing a reward for him; however, there was no need yet. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a ticket for the undead bronze demon world''s elemental spirit world. Maybe his urging worked as he got the system notification informing him regarding his reward. ''Huh?'' Looking at the reward, Ajax frowned as he thought, ''Looks like the system is urging me to save those elemental spirits.'' ''However, I have to keep it on hold and have to clear all the things in this Province before going back to the Grey dwarf world with a lot of spirit beasts'' meat.'' Ajax shook his head and directly put the thought of entering the elemental spirit world connected to the undead bronze demon world. ''Also, I missed the mission in the five elemental world as I was quite busy with the ''world destruction mission''.'' When he was in the Five elemental world, after conquering the Western foxnds, the system had given him a mission of forming an alliance with the Mountain lion woods with a time limit of one month. However, he missed it and it was his first mission he skipped even when he still had the chance toplete it. "Anyway, as long as I have the power, I can easily conquer it even without the system mission." Ajax didn''t regret missing the mission and he nned hising events. "Since there is a lot of time, should I pay a visit to the dimensional crevice and challenge it?" The current Ajax is a lot more powerful than when he visited that Dimensional crevice; however, still, there was a slight fear lingering in his heart. ''What if I had to use my own strength to fight the owner of the dimensional crevice? I think it''s better to enter the five elemental world.'' When he thought about it, Ajax shook his head and rejected that idea before entering the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Chapter 1097: Awakening Aqua Dragons Bloodline

Chapter 1097: Awakening Aqua Dragon''s Bloodline

If Ajax had to use his own strength instead of summoning his elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts, then he doubts he would win against the owner of the dimensional crevice. Moreover, since he stays in the dimensional crevice, his cultivation would be not limited by the Zrochester province. So, chances of him already having a cultivation of the King realm are high. So, Ajax didn''t want to take the risk as he was not in a hurry to upgrade his dimensional crevice. Currently, Ajax had many other things to take care of and decided to postpone the dimensional crevice challenge for his next visit to the Purple stone world. "Cerauno, Volcanis¡­.." After going back to Gaimont''s territory, Ajax summoned a few of his elemental spirits and ordered, "Everyone split up and bring me the corpses of rank 3 and above spirit beasts." "Yes, summoning master." All the selected elemental spirits nodded their heads and they didn''t know the reason because they already knew that the grey dwarves needed food. "Keep two things in mind. One, don''t kill the spirit beast that gains consciousness and keep bodies as clean as possible." Nodding his head, Ajax stressed two things. "We will try our best, summoning master." The elemental spirits understood what they had to do. So, left the territory to hunt for the rank 3 spirit beasts in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Ajax didn''t mind killing the mindless rank 3 spirit beasts as they are yet to develop a consciousness and only follow the basic bestial instinct. Also, he only chose the elemental spirits for the mission as he wanted clean bodies which were not possible by his contracted spirit beasts. "It''s time for a new bloodline." Once he gave the orders to his elemental spirit, Ajax ordered Darbudr to take care of the Battle beasts formation while he decided to awaken a new bloodline. He already has two bloodlines, ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' and ''Elemental spirit merger'' and now, he was going to awaken a dragon bloodline. So, of course, he was excited. Soon, he entered a special cultivation chamber of the territory lord. "System, show me how many aqua dragon bloodline points I have." Once he settled in the cultivation chamber, Ajax asked the system about the bloodline points. ''Ding, Aqua dragon bloodline points:- 1405. ''Ding, The host has more than 100 bloodline points for a specific bloodline. Do you want to awaken that bloodline? Not only did the system show the current bloodline points for the aqua dragon bloodline but it also asked him whether he wanted to awaken the bloodline. "Why not? Go ahead and awaken the bloodline." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked the system to awaken the bloodline. ''Ding, 100 aqua dragon bloodline points are consumed. ''Ding, Awakening the aqua dragon bloodline. Please bear the pain as the bloodline awakening process is forceful. ''Aargh'' Just as the system notifications rang in his head, Ajax copsed to the ground as he felt the pain that was much greater than the pain he had endured so far. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth while motivating himself, ''For a powerful bloodline Aqua dragon, this much pain is nothing.'' Time continued to pass and the pain in his body stabilized as Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully awakening the aqua dragon bloodline. ''Ding, Please check the effects of the bloodline in the ''Bloodline'' section. Soon after, he received confirmation notifications from the system regarding the bloodline. ''Let''s see what powerful effects it has.'' Ajax wiped the sweat off his forehead as he opened the user interface and focused on his new bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Aqua dragon bloodline (level 1). Effects:- When the bloodline is activated, 5 times increment in the user''s battle prowess if he is on the ground and 10 times increment if he is in water. Note:- It is not stackable with other bloodlines. ''Five times increment just from a level 1 bloodline?'' Ajax was shocked by the only effect of the aqua dragon bloodline. ''No wonder a dragon is a dragon. Even though the Aqua dragon belongs to the lowest ss in the dragon race, they are still dragons. Just activating this bloodline gives me more increment in my battle prowess than the Abyssal beast god bloodline.'' Even though he said that he hurriedly shook his head while muttering, ''I can''tpare them. Abyssal beast god bloodline can increase the battle prowess for all my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.'' Soon, he stoppedparing both the bloodlines and looked at the other part of the effect. ''Even though it gives me 10 times the increment of battle prowess if I stay in water; however, battles in the water are rare and I don''t when I will be fighting. Still, it is a good trump card in case I fight in the water.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax looked at the remaining aqua dragon bloodline points. ''System, what can I do with the remaining bloodline points? Can I increase the bloodline level?'' Ajax was hoping he would increase the bloodline level; otherwise, it would be a waste to have 1305 aqua bloodline points with him. So, he asked the system regarding it. ''Ding, Yes. With the bloodline points of a specific bloodline, the host can increase that bloodline''s level. ''Excellent.'' Ajax became excited as he hurriedly asked the system, "Just upgrade the aqua dragon bloodline to the maximum." Once he got the confirmation from the system that he could upgrade the bloodline as long as he had the bloodline points, why would he waste any more time? Without wasting any time, he asked the system to upgrade the bloodline. ''Ding, It requires 1000 aqua dragon bloodline points to upgrade the aqua dragon bloodline to level 2. Do you still want to upgrade it? ''1000? That''s a lot.'' Ajax raised his brows as he thought for a moment before saying, ''What can I do with the bloodline points anyway? So, just upgrade it.'' Keeping the bloodline points with him just because the bloodline upgrade cost is high was the worst thing to do. So, he gave permission to upgrade the bloodline. ''Ding, Other than upgrading the bloodline points with the respective bloodline, the host can convert them into other bloodline points. Later, he could use those bloodline points to increase his other bloodlines'' levels. ''Really?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised as he hurriedly asked the system, ''What is the conversion rate for abyssal beast god bloodline points?'' If he could increase the Abyssal beast god bloodline''s level to level 3, then it was a major upgrade in strength for him because not only his battle prowess would be increased after activating the bloodline, but all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts would receive the boost. So, Ajax thought to convert the aqua dragon bloodline points into abyssal beast god bloodline points. Also, Ajax was very sure that the conversion rate would be a little higher because as long as there is a system''s involvement, there will be a price. ***** cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA x 2. Petere_Emmanuel_1925, Respingo, thanks for the ICE COLA. Chapter 1098: Level 2 Bloodline

Chapter 1098: Level 2 Bloodline

''Ding, 100 aqua dragon bloodline units can be converted into 1 abyssal beast god bloodline. ''Why am I not surprised?'' Soon, the system sent the conversion ratio and Ajax had already expected it would be high. So, he was not surprised. ''Just upgrade my aqua dragon bloodline.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly ordered the system to upgrade the aqua dragon bloodline. Even if he converted all the aqua dragon bloodline points into abyssal beast god bloodline, how could he upgrade it from level 1 to level 2 when it required level 1000 bloodline points? Since the aqua dragon bloodline''s effect was also not bad, Ajax decided to just upgrade it and find another way to increase the abyssal beast god bloodline. ''Ding, Consumed 1000 aqua dragon bloodline units and upgraded the bloodline to level 2. ''Aargh'' Once the process started, Ajax felt the pain as he gritted his teeth and endured it for a few minutes until he heard another system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading the aqua dragon bloodline to level 2. Please check the modified effects. ''Phew...that was quick.'' When he was awakening the aqua dragon bloodline, it took him forever; however, upgrading the bloodline was quick and the pain was a little lesspared to before. ''Show the level 2 bloodline.'' With a thought, a holographic screen appeared in front of him showing the effects of the bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Aqua dragon bloodline (level 2). Effects:- When the bloodline is activated, 10 times increment in the user''s battle prowess if he is on the ground and 20 times increment if he is in water. Time limit:- Two minutes. Cooldown:- One day. Note:- It is not stackable with other bloodlines. ''What? 10 times increment and 20 times increment in water?'' Ajax was shocked as he felt he did the right thing in upgrading the bloodline. ''I wonder whether I can go against a low-level king realm cultivator with the help of this bloodline.'' Soon, Ajax started fantasizing about him fighting a low-level king realm cultivator. ''However, the only drawback for this bloodline is it will be only active for two minutes with a cooldown of one day.'' Ajax muttered the only drawback of the bloodline and decided, ''I should kill my opponent within two minutes without wasting any time. It''s best I should wait until the enemy attacks me first before activating the bloodline.'' In most cases, he should not worry about it because he has his own summons to take care of things like that; however, when he feels light fighting a powerful enemy on his own, it would be a good exercise for him. At least that''s what he thought in his head. ''Ding, Remaining aqua dragon bloodline points:- 405 ''With the remaining bloodline points, I can''t upgrade it any further as it needs 10000 bloodline points.'' Ajax already checked the requirement for the next level and it was ten times more than what he paid just now to upgrade it to level 2. ''Looks like I need to pay a visit to the ''House of dragons'' also.'' In the end, Ajax decided to go to the ''House of dragons to increase his bloodline to level 3. ''I wonder how many times I can increase my battle prowess.'' ''Also, I hope the time limit for the bloodline increases and at the same time, the cooldown should decrease.'' Ajax thought about the level 3 aqua dragon bloodline for a while before stopping thinking about it. ''I got so many good items for creating weapons after I refined the demon kings. Looks like my little grey dwarves will create many good weapons from those weapons.'' Next, he shifted his attention to the items he got from refining the high-level demon king and the other artificial demon kings. Whenever he thought about his grey dwarves creating some good weapons from the high-level materials, Ajax thought of going back right that instant; however, he controlled his urge to return to the grey dwarf world. Because he had to settle some things in the five elemental world and only then he could go back to the grey dwarf world. ''I will just rest until Volcanis and others bring the spirit beast carcasses.'' Since he didn''t have much to do in Gaimont''s territory, Ajax decided to wait until his elemental spirits who went for the spirit beast hunting. ...¡­ In the center of the Zrochester province. "I got a rank 3 energy breaking pill. With it, I can break through the elitemander realm and enter the general realm." "I got a rank 3 weapon. Since I am not good at fighting, I will just sell it off." "You are just getting for small things. See, what did I find?" "It is a mid-level spirit stone?" "What the hell?" "Where did this lucky bastarde from?" In the center of the Zrochester province, hundreds of thousands of people were standing as they excitedly shouted the items they got. As for where they had gotten them from, it was, of course, from a huge inheritance ground that the Protector Olek had created just for the sake of diverting everyone''s attention from Ajax destroying the assassin sect. Even though it''s been a few hours, they were still clueless that one of the three top sects of the Zrochester province was destroyed while they were enjoying in the inheritance grounds. Since it was a ''Safe'' rated inheritance ground, many cultivators including the great families and the other two top sects participated in it. Basically, they just entered a mysterious realm and casually picked the items. Moreover, infighting is strictly forbidden and the items were taken by those who picked them up from the ground. "Hey...let me brag about what I got. It is a monster peach." ''Crunch'' Among the ground, a level 1 general realm cultivator who was in histe twenties showed everyone the fruit in his hands and hurriedly ate it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, mysterious energy came out of his body and surrounded him. The process continued for a few minutes before the mysterious energy around him disappeared without a trace. However, the cultivator''s cultivation was no longer the level 1 general realm; instead, it was the level 1 elite general realm. "Join my fire sword sect and you will be directly promoted as the core disciple." "Mybat king sect promises you that we will help you awaken abatant''sw." Soon, the two top sects offered the man some good offers and he chose thebat king sect as he always liked that sect. ''Even though it cost me a few things, I think, it is all worth it as long as that kid bes the future emperor of this world.'' From the sky, Protector Olek was looking at the crowd cheering and getting recruited by the top sects and the great families. ''I wonder when will that powerful mastere back as I could wait to inform my merit and get the credits.'' Right now, Protector Olek was rubbing his hands as though he was eagerly waiting for someone. As for Ajax, he didn''t have any clue that everyone was oblivious of the destruction of the assassin sect because of Protector Olek. *** No gifts. Chapter 1099: Eighth and Ninth ranked territories

Chapter 1099: Eighth and Ninth ranked territories

In Gaimont''s territory. "Summoning master, we are back." After who knows how many hours, the ten of his elemental spirits hade back and woke him up by transmitting their voice to Ajax''s head. ''Huh? They are back already?'' Maybe Ajax was so tired after enduring the pain from awakening and upgrading the bloodline that he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Nevertheless, he was able to recognize Volcanis'' voice and woke up beforeing out of the special cultivation chamber. "Summoning master." Seeing that Ajax walked out of the cultivation chamber, the ten elemental spirit beasts bowed before Volcanis walked forward and gave 10 space rings. "We did just like you asked, summoning master." Soon, the remaining nine elemental spirits also gave 10 space rings each. In total, Ajax had 100 space rings in his hands and each space ring had exactly 100 rank 3 and above spirit beasts'' carcasses. "Thanks for your hard work.? You can go back and take a rest." Ajax thanked the elemental spirits as he sent them back into the inner world. ''With these 100 space rings, the grey dwarf world wouldst for a while.'' Ajax stopped worrying about the food crisis in the short term and decided to focus on what he had to do. "It''s time to leave the Purple stone world for the Five elemental world." It has been already decided that he would leave the Purple stone world once his elemental spiritse back and since they were back now with the food for the grey dwarves, Ajax thought of leaving the world. "Darbaudr, while I am gone, continues to turn all the rank 6 spirit beasts with no bloodline into battle beasts. Also, keep an eye on the other spirit beast king''s territories and if you feel confident, you can challenge them and take control of those territories too." Soon, he found his barbarian followers and gave some orders and he stressed more on conquering other territories because that''s how things work in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Yes, young master." Darbaudr, as a barbarian who likes to fight a lot, of course, was willing to do it. "Also, give this to Gaimont once hees back." Next, he gave a small bottle filled with light-blue coloured liquid to the barbarian. It was none other than the aqua dragon blood essence in the liquid form that he got from killing the powerful aqua dragons. Darbaudr took it and stored it in his space ring. "Take care and I hope by the time I return you will be even more powerful along with this territory." Ajax was confident in Darbaudr that he would not use the dragon blood essence for himself. So, he wasfortable giving it to him. "Don''t worry. I will try my best, young master." cing his hand on his head, the barbarian solemnly nodded his head. "Okay then. I will..." "Swoosh" Just as Ajax was about to say his goodbye to the barbarian, one of the silver wyvern generals rushed towards them andnded beside him. "What happened?" Ajax stopped his words and with a frown, he asked the silver wyvern general. "Master Ajax, there is arge group of spirit beastsing in our direction." The silver wyvern general looked anxious as though he was worried that something might happen. "What is there to worry about? I will take care of it." Ajax had just destroyed one of the three top sects. So, he still didn''t understand why the silver wyvern general was worried even after participating in it. Nevertheless, he promised to take care of it. "Therge group is led by the eight and ninth-ranked territory leaders of the inner section. There were thousands of peak rank 6 spirit beasts in thatrge group. I think there are more behind thatrge group." The silver wyvern general informed Ajax what was bothering him. Even though Ajax had so many powerful elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, when such arge group of powerful spirit beasts attacked their territory countless spirit beasts from their side would be killed. As the leader of the silver wyvern generals, how could he not be worried about the safety of the inhabitants of the territory when such arge group of spirit beasts wereing their way? So, he hurriedly rushed towards Darbaudr and Ajax to inform them about therge group of spirit beasts. "Eight and ninth-ranked territory spirit beast kings?" Ajax frowned when he heard the silver wyvern general''s words and thought, ''Didn''t I send the Primitive ape king to challenge the ninth-ranked spirit beast king? Did he lose?'' "Let''s go and see." Since he had no way of knowing about the primitive ape king because Nameless cultivator also didn''t return. So, he could only think of going out and checking therge group of iing spirit beasts. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the three of them rushed towards the territory to check the iing group which was led by two huge spirit beasts. The first spirit beast king looked like a humanoid bull with a fist-sized diamond on its forehead whereas the second spirit beast king looked like an Anubis however, it had two huge wings behind it. Seeing the three of them, the two spirit beast kings stopped in their tracks and the rest of the spirit beast kings also stopped. "Eighth lord and ninth lord, are you nning to wage war? If the King of the spirit beasts knows about this, he would kick you out of the inner section of the cursed wilderness." The silver wyvern general got his courage from Ajax as he had already seen how powerful Ajax was and since they were still some distance away from the territory, even if a fight broke out, no one from his territory would be killed in the cross-fight. So, he shouted at the two spirit beast kings without any fear. "Haha" Hearing the silver wyvern general''s words, the two spirit beast kings could not help butugh out loud. "Is there something funny in it?" Ajax frowned as he scoffed at them. Since the king of the spirit beast kings had already kept some rules for the lower-ranked territories to survive in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, the two territories should not wage a war against Gainmont''s territory which was the lowest rank territory. "It is funny because we are not here for a fight." The Winged Anubis scoffed back at Ajax and then looking at the Darbaudr, it respectfully replied, "We are here to swear our loyalty to you." "Everyone, kneel." In the next second, Diamond centaur shouted as he kneeled to Darbaudr and along with him, the rest of the spirit beasts also kneeled. ''What?'' Ajax, Darbaudr and the silver wyvern general were shocked to see the scene of two territory lords along with their powerful army kneeling in front of Darbaudr. "Darbaudr, what have you done while I left this world for around 45 days? Are you trying to surprise me by already conquering these two territories?" Ajax suppressed his shock and turned towards the barbarian and asked with a curious look on his face. ****** Need Golden tickets and Gifts for support and motivation. Chapter 1100: Three territories under control

Chapter 1100: Three territories under control

In the past, Ajax was busy with his world destruction mission and he was away from the Zrochester province for nearly 45 days. So, Ajax was surprised when he saw how the two spirit beasts kings of the eighth and the ninth territories were bowing to Darbaudr. Ajax was only surprised but not shocked because he knew Darbaudr could do it soon orter. "Young master, I didn''t do anything." However, the barbarian shook his head as though he was also equally surprised to see the spirit beasts bowing to me. "What?" This time, Ajax was shocked as he looked at Darbaudr for a moment before looking at the spirit beast kings kneeling on the ground. "Just ask them who asked them to swear their loyalty to you." Since Ajax knew he would lose his face if he asked them because they didn''t have a respectful look in their eyes when they looked at him; however, it was different when they looked at the Barbarian. So, he asked Darbaudr to ask them the reason for swearing their loyalty to him. "Why are you swearing your loyalty to me? I have never seen you and haven''t done anything for you." Nodding his head, Darbaudr asked the spirit beast kings with a serious look on his face. "Our new master asked us toe here and swear our loyalty to the Barbarian in this territory. So, we are here." The winged anubis replied to the barbarian with a respectful face. "New master?" Ajax and the barbarian frowned hearing those words. "Yes, our masters asked us to do it; otherwise, he said he will be killing us. So, please ept us." The diamond minotaur hurriedly said as though something would happen to them if the barbarian didn''t ept them. "Who is your master? Where is he now?" Ajax walked forward as he asked them. ''...'' The two spirit beast kings frowned at Ajax who was acting all high and mighty. "My young master is asking you something. How dare you look at him like that?" Darbaudr didn''t like the way they were looking at Ajax and took out his barbarian king''s sword to execute them. "Wait, Darbaudr." However, Ajax stopped them because he knew the value of these two beast kings. ''Young master?'' As for the two spirit beast kings, they were shocked at how the barbarian was calling Ajax and stopped looking at Ajax condensingly. "Why aren''t you still answering?" The barbarian hollered at him, making theme out of their shocks. "My new master is a Primitive ape king." The winged anubis replied to Ajax with a respectful look in its eyes. "As for his current location, we don''t know; however, he asked us toe here to swear our loyalty to another master. So, we are here with our strongest followers such that you can roughly get how strong we are." The diamond minotaur also had the same respectful look in its eyes while answering Ajax''s second question. "Primitive ape king?" Darbaudr frowned as he didn''t know this so-called ''Primitive ape king'' and turned his head towards Ajax before saying, "Young master, I don''t know about thi..." "Haha..." Before Darbaudr could finish his words, Ajax startedughing as he said, "Darbaudr, don''t worry. I knew him and I gave him the task of defeating the ninth-ranked spirit beast king; however, he defeated both eighth and ninth-ranked spirit beast kings." "Huh? A new contracted spirit beast?" The barbarian raised his brows for a second before curiously asking Ajax. "No. He said he wants to be my brother." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied, "Looks like I have to ept him as my brother now." "What? A spirit beast brother?" Darbaudr was shocked by Ajax''s words and for some reason, he didn''t like his young master bing brother with a spirit beast. "Yes." Ajax simply nodded his head. Since he promised that he would ept the primitive ape king to be his brother if he finished his task of defeating the ninth ranked spirit beast king, he had to keep his word. "Hmm" Darbaudr nodded his head, feeling it was not a good thing for his young master. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything more to argue with his young master regarding that matter. "I wonder, how did he defeat two spirit beast kings? He didn''t even cultivate for thest 5-6 years. He also didn''t have any bestialws." Ajax still didn''t get how the primitive ape king was capable of such things. "Even though he didn''t have a bestialw, his fighting style was unique and before we could activate our bestialws, he defeated us. Moreover, he didn''t even use a single skill in the entire process." Initially, the Winged Anubis was bitter thinking about its defeat; however, when it saw the fighting style of the primitive ape king, it wanted to learn the fighting style. So, by the end of its words, there was a respectful look thinking that he was able to get acquainted with such a powerful spirit beast. "Huh? Really? His fighting style was that good?" Ajax was shocked by the winged anubis'' words and looked at the diamond minotaur, who had the same look on its face. "You two can go back to your territories, I will send the primitive ape king to your territories and ask him to teach you what you wanted to learn." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face. "Thank you, master." "Thank you, master. We will take our leave now." Both the spirit beast kings were excited with Ajax''s words as they hurriedly thanked him before going back to their territories. "Out of ten territories, three territories are already under my control." Looking at the silhouettes of the leaving spirit beast kings, Ajax said in a low voice which the barbarian could obviously hear. "Young master, don''t worry. I will help you take control of all these territories." Darbaudr promised Ajax when he heard Ajax''s words. "I know." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head as he continued, "I hope you and the primitive ape king work together to challenge the territories one by one. Also, don''t disturb the king of spirit beast kings, he is good and he will be leaving this word after three or four months." "Once he leaves this world, I want you and the primitive ape king to control the entire cursed wilderness. At that time, I will see how the royal family will still maintain its airs." Soon, Ajax said some words making the barbarian nod his head. "I will do it as you say, young master." Darbaudr nodded his head as he promised to do whatever Ajax had ordered. Even though he didn''t like the primitive ape king bing Ajax''s brother, he was just a servant and he didn''t have the right to say what his young master wanted to do. "Let''s wait for the Primitive ape king. I think he wille here once he finds out I was not in the Cursed heaven." Soon, Ajax, Darbaudr and the silver wyvern generals went back to Gaimont''s territory. "Young master, I wanted to ask you something for a while now. Can I ask?" Suddenly, Darbaudr said those words to Ajax after some hesitation. ***** KingRig, thanks for the DRAGON. Chapter 1101: Second function of the Never-returning cave.

Chapter 1101: Second function of the Never-returning cave.

''Huh?'' Ajax stopped in his tracks for a moment before turning towards the barbarian and asked, "You can ask. What is there to hesitate?" How could Ajax not see clear hesitation in the barbarian''s eyes?? So, he asked Darbaudr to ask him what he wanted to ask. "Young master, are you going to other provinces?" Every time, his young master was missing for a few days and even though Darbaudr was curious about it, he never thought of asking about it. However, right now, his strength has recovered to the peak and he even got the barbarian king''s sword along with a rank 5. So, he thought of searching for his lost tribe members. Moreover, if he could break into the King realm, he could start his mission of taking revenge against the demon king and his apostle. So, he asked whether Ajax had any ways to enter other provinces. "You want to enter Ylercester province?" Ajax could guess what Darbaudr wanted from him. So, before the barbarian could reply, he continued, "For now, I can''t travel between the provinces; however, after four or five months, I can do it. At that, I promise to bring you to the other province." "Thank you, young master. Until then, I will conquer the inner section slowly." Darbaudr thanked Ajax as he knew his young master would definitely keep your promise. "Let''s wait for the Primitive ape king." Ajax thought he should say a few words to the Primitive ape king to cooperate with Darbaudr. So, he thought to wait for him. Time continued to pass and a couple of hours passed by. ''Swoosh'' While Ajax was checking the operation of the battle beasts'' formation, someone came that surprised Ajax. "Captain Edmond" Ajax called out looking at the middle-aged man. "You know, you are one tough guy to find in this province." Captain Edmond replied to Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "You are looking for me?" Ajax was surprised as he bought Captain Edmond into a cultivation chamber. "Looks like you forgot again. Didn''t you promise me that you wille to the ce where I train?" Captain Edmond shook his head at Ajax''s forgetfulness as he exined. "Right!" Ajax understood and nodded his head, "I am ready." Since Ajax had already rejected Captain Edmond''s invitation two times in the past, he felt it would be not good to reject once again. So, he readily agreed to Captain Edmond''s invitation to his training ce. "Darbaudr, I wille back soon. If the primitive ape kinges, let him know I agreed and say what I wanted him to do." He said a single line to his barbarian followers before he and captain Edmond rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Congrattions, Ajax. You finally took revenge against the assassin sect at such a young age." Along the way, Captain Edmond congratted Ajax for thepletion of his revenge and achievement. "Sigh" However, Ajax shook his head as he sighed. "Huh?" Captain Edmond frowned for a moment before asking, "What happened, Ajax?" He thought Ajax was injured during the destruction of the assassin sect; however when he remembered that Ajax barely did anything in the assassin sect while his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts took care of everything. So, he rejected that thought and thought about other things while waiting for Ajax to say what actually happened. "My revenge is not finished; instead, it has just begun." While saying these words, Ajax clenched his fists as he replied to Captain Edmond. "What? Don''t tell me that the assassin sect is not the true mastermind behind the massacre." Captain Edmond was right on point as he already had experience on a few things about the assassin sect. "Yes. Their backer ''Ancient assassin sect'' was the true mastermind." Ajax nodded his head as he replied to Captain Edmond with a serious look on his face. "Anceint assassin sect?" Edmond already knew the back of the assassin sect; however, what he didn''t understand was why they would massacre a bunch of kids who are yet to begin their cultivation. "I think this ce is all you need for your revenge." Soon, Captain Edmond revealed a smile as he continued saying, "As long as you train in that ce, all your battle prowess will be increased a lot. Moreover, your skills, cultivation techniques and even bloodline will be increased." "What?" Ajax was shocked by Edmond''s words after hearing such great benefits from a training ce. Why would he not train in such a ce if it really gives that many benefits as Edmond said? "Yes. Once you have enough confidence in yourself, you can take revenge on the ancient assassin sect." Edmond advised Ajax to have confidence in himself first before seeking revenge. "I will do that, Captain Edmond." Ajax was no longer the greenhorn he used to be in the past and matured a lot during thest few months. So, he knew what he had to do in order to take revenge against the ancient assassin sect. Before he could go against the ancient assassin sect, Ajax wanted to destroy the second branch of that sect in the Ylercester province. Soon, they continued to run along the border of the middle-section and inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Th...this is..." Ajax felt like he had visited these surroundings in the past as he looked at the distant cave. The cave was none other than the ''Never-returning cave'' that Ajax and Paulin entered in the past and sessfullypleted the trial. "I know you and Paulin had entered this never-returning cave." Just as Ajax was feeling surprised seeing the never-returning cave, he heard Captain Edmond continue to speak, "This cave is not only used for conducting trials but it will also help the participants who sessfullypleted the trial in bing stronger." "What?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised when he heard there was an additional function for the never-returning cave. "But, why did the trial master¡­." "I know what you want to ask." Before Ajax could finish his question, Captain Edmond interrupted him as he continued, "You want to know why the trial master didn''t exin about it because it is the participant who had to find out regarding the other function of this cave." "It took me quite a while before finding out and I don''t want you and Paulin to dy the training in this ce." Captain Edmond had a slight smile on his face as he exined why he was urging Ajax to enter the training ce. "Thanks, Captain Edmond. I owe you one." If the ce is just like what Captain Edmond had said, then Ajax really owes Captain Edmond a big time. Because a ce that could even increase the level of the bloodline is quite rare even in the greater world. So, of course, he felt it was a great help. "It is no big deal. Compared to how much you helped me, this one is very small." Captain Edmond shook his head as they walked towards the entrance of the never-returning cave. "Captain Edmond, I want to know how long..." "Just go inside and you will learn everything on your own." Before Ajax could finish his words, Captain Edmond pushed Ajax into the cave. ***** cageraymortal,? thanks for the ICE COLA. Chapter 1102: Zaglanaths determination

Chapter 1102: Zanath''s determination

''What?'' Ajax was shocked by Captain Edmond''s sudden push as he started falling into an endless abyss. "An old participant?" While falling, Ajax heard a familiar voice but it took him a while to recognize the owner of the voice. "You are the half-demon and half-human, trial master, right?" Even though he was still falling, Ajax shouted as loud as he could. "Correct." Zanath''s voice resounded in the cave as he continued, "So, you are here for training, right?" "Yes." Ajax nodded his head as he searched for the exact location of Zanath; however, Ajax was unable to find the location and at the same time, he was still unable to do anything regarding his fall. "Good. So, what do you want to increase? Skills? Cultivation techniques? Bloodline? Please pick one." Zanath didn''t waste his time with unnecessary words as he directly asked what Ajax wanted to focus on. "Bloodline." Ajax didn''t think much as he directly chose bloodline. "Are you sure about it? It is very hard to increase your bloodline and you need to work very hard." The handsome half-demon revealed a smile as he asked Ajax. "I am sure. Just send me out of here already." Ajax didn''t like the feeling of falling into an abyss forever. So, he asked Zanath to send him away. "Fine then." Zanath nodded his head as he said, "Since it is your first time, you don''t have to fear your death and go all out while killing. Also, there is a time conversion of 1:10 from your world to the world I am sending you to." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Zanath waved his hands as Ajax disappeared from his ce. ''So, he is the one with the ''demon''s prey'' curse. That means he has a divine dragon with him.'' Zanath silently thought to himself as he came out of the pitch-ck mist around the walls of the cave. As a half-demon, he could sense the curse from Ajax''s body; however,pared to the low-level demon kings who wanted to kill Ajax the moment theyid their eyes on him, Zanath was very calm. Because the energy from a low-level bronze demon would not help him even a tiny bit. Moreover, he was not a regr demon and he didn''t want a human genius like Ajax to be hunted by all the demon emperors. ''I need to do something to help him.'' Zanath continued to mutter to himself as he thought, ''I think fate sent him to the right ce. Right now, all he needed to do was train here and he could have the strength to kill a King realm cultivator even before he entered into the King realm.'' ''I need to give some good rewards to the referrer this time.'' With a thought, he disappeared from his ce and appeared in another section of the cave. In the other section of the cave, there was a middle-aged man and it was another than Captain Edmond who brought Ajax to the training. "Trial master, I brought one and in theing few days, I will bring another one for training." Captain Edmond had a respectful look on his face as he informed Zanath. "The one you brought now is very special. Can I entrust his safety to you when he is outside the training grounds?" Zanth nodded his head at Captain Edmond as he asked him to protect Ajax. "Of course, I will do it." Even if Zanath had not asked, Captain Edmond would obviously protect him at any cost because Ajax helped him a lot in the past. It was the least thing he could do. "However, I don''t think he needs any protection as he was protected by a powerful cultivator. It is like this..." Soon, Captain Edmond exined when Ajax started cultivating and how he became so strong within such a short time. Nevertheless, he skipped the part regarding Ajax''s rare elemental spirits, divine dragon and the destruction of the assassin section. "Interesting." Hearing all these things, Zanath thought of something, ''Will he be the human''s hope? No...waiting for the human''s hope is just a waste of time. I will just push his limits and turn him into a human''s hope.'' Zanath revealed a slight smile when he thought of creating his own human''s hope. ''Looks like this referrer didn''t say everything about that kid which means he really cares about him.'' Next, Zanath thought about something in his head while looking at Captain Edmond. "I still want you to protect him by staying close to him. As I said, the five demon emperors are nning something that will destroy all the smaller and normal human worlds like the Purple stone world." "The Greater human worlds are busy fighting among themselves and didn''t have a clue regarding it." "I want you to be prepared to fight the invading demon army who knows when ites. But, the moment ites, even the protectors of this world will not be able to save everyone." Zanath once again exined the iing danger from the demons and asked Edmond to protect Ajax at any cost. "As payment for that, I will give you what you wanted for a while now. Take this." While saying that, Zanath threw a crystal at Captain Edmond. "Thank you, trial master." Looking at the crystal in his hands, Captain Edmond hurriedly thanked the handsome demon. "That is just an advanced payment. You will get more reward if you protect him." Zanath shook his head as he asked, "So, do you want to train or just cultivate that thing?" "I will cultivate for now in the cave and once I learn it, I will train." After saying that, Edmond sat where he was standing and started cultivating. Soon, the red-coloured fire elements came out of the crystal as they entered Captain Edmond''s head and the process continued. ''I hope he grows stronger before the demon army invades. If they enter this world and find out about it, then even the demon emperors will personallye for him. At that time, no one could save him.'' Even though Captain Edmond said about a powerful cultivator being Ajax''s master, Zanath knew that how terrifying it will be when five demon emperors personally hunt for Ajax. Even the human emperors from the greater worlds would give them some face and help them catch Ajax for them. Zanath had seen how humans behave. If they feel threatened, they would sacrifice someone like Ajax without any hesitation. Moreover, there was also infighting among the human emperors which greatly reduced human strength because of those infightings. What''s more, recently, the infightings have reached the next level making all five demon emperors n something to erase all the smaller and normal human worlds. ''If only they trusted me a little, then I would have been directly informed about the demon emperors'' n; however, just because I am a half-demon, they never believed my words.'' Even though those human emperors never trusted him and even tried to kill him, Zanath was still trying his best to prevent the demon invasion because he didn''t want another woman to suffer the same fate as his mother. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1103: Training ground

''Huh?? Where am I?'' In a forest that was filled with huge trees and roars of spirit beasts could be resounded in Ajax''s ear as he opened his eyes and looked around. ''Th..this essence..'' While looking at his surroundings Ajax was shocked when he felt a pure essence of nature enter into his body. ''This is purer than any world I have visited in the past.'' This was the first thought in his head as he casually teleported to the top of the tree and looked at his surroundings. As far as his eyes could see, Ajax was unable to find any signs of human presence and looked like this forest was much bigger than he thought. ''System, do you have any idea where we are?'' Since he could only rely on the system in this foreign world, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host is not powerful enough and so is the system. With the host''s current strength I am unable to check what it is. ''It''s been a while since you said that.'' Ajax shook his head when he saw the system notification as he continued, ''Didn''t you see I am trying my best to improve my cultivation, battle prowess, my summons and their battle prowess.'' ''Screech'' Just as he let out his frustration to the system, he heard a screech that nearly made his ears bleed. ''Hide'' The first thing Ajax thought of after seeing a huge bird in the distance was to hide. ''Damn it¡­.what is that bird...it is colossal.'' The distance between Ajax and that colossal bird was more than 100 kilometers. Even from such a far distance, Ajax could sense that the bird was terrifying and didn''t hesitate to hide. ''System, at least tell me what that bird is? And show me its cultivation.'' Ajax didn''t breathe until the colossal bird disappeared from his view and only then, he was able to heave a sigh of relief before asking the system about the colossal bird. ''Ding, In the current system''s database, there was no data regarding the colossal. If the host kills it, I can add it to my database. ''Ding, As for the cultivation, the system can''t detect it. Once again, all that host needed to do was to kill it. ''What the hell?'' Ajax cursed the system as he said, ''If you can''t detect its cultivation, it means that spirit beast must be in the King realm. Judging from its aura, I am very sure it was not a normal king realm spirit beast and you want me to kill it?'' ''Roar'' Soon, he heard a furious roar from the ground, making him look down. "Another new spirit beast." Ajax had killed so many spirit beasts in the past; however, he had not seen the spirit beast on the ground. ''It looks like a tiger but much bigger and ferocious than any tiger spirit beast I had seen in the past; however, its strength is only at peak rank 6 which means I can take care of it.'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax jumped from the tree after checking the cultivation of the tiger-like spirit beast. ''Teleport'' Just when he was ten meters away from the ground, with a thought, Ajax disappeared from his ce and instantly appeared in front of the spirit beast. "Inheritance sword." Next, he summoned the inheritance sword and stood in a fighting stance while waiting for the spirit beast in front of him to make the first move. "Roar" The spirit beast became furious when it saw Ajax taking out a sword and after letting out a roar, it jumped onto him. ''Rank 5 sword dao.'' ''Mountain splitting technique'' Ajax, who was waiting for the spirit beast to attack him revealed a slight smile on his face as he activated his rank 5 sword dao and used his only sword move. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Thud'' The powerful-looking sword wave appeared and at such a close rate, it was able to cleave the iing tiger-like creature into two. ''Huh? It is weak.'' That was the only thought in his head because he knew that he could not cleave a peak rank 6 spirit beast into two in the outside world. ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, he didn''t bother about it because something else caught his eye and it was the two pieces of the tiger-like creature that started disappearing and turned into ting light particles. ''Swoosh'' The light particles slowly moved toward Ajax and entered into his head. ''Ding, Killed an unknown spirit beast. Gained nothing. The light particles continued to enter into his head as Ajax got the usual system notification in his head. However, there were no rewards which made Ajax frown. ''Ding, Detected a mysterious energy entering into the host''s body. In the very next second, Ajax once again received a system notification that made him confused. Nevertheless, he knew that the mysterious energy was rted to the light particles entering his body. So, he waited until all the light particles entered his body. ''Ding, Ten normal bloodline points are added to the host''s bloodline management tab. Note:- Normal bloodline points can be converted into the respective bloodline point before upgrading them. Just as all the light particles entered into his body, Ajax received a system notification in his head. ''What?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised by the sudden system notification and felt he understood something. ''So, killing the spirit beasts gives me bloodline points which I can use to convert into the bloodline points for the bloodlines I have. Excellent.'' Once Ajax understood how he could gain the bloodline points, Ajax felt this training ground was good. ''However, it is giving only 10 normal bloodline points which mean 0.1 points of my bloodline points. So, I have to kill more and more powerful spirit beasts.'' ''But still, it is better than nothing.'' Ajax shook his head as he thought about the only drawback of this training ground. ''I wonder who is capable of creating such a powerful training ground that could even increase the bloodline?'' In the next second, Ajax thought about the creator of this training ground and wondered how powerful that creator must be to be able to create such a powerful training ground. ''For now, I will just focus on killing the spirit beasts and increase my bloodline points.'' With that thought in his mind, "Everyone,e out." He decided to summon all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts because he felt that a creator who is capable of creating such a powerful training ground must have already noticed about his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Moreover, such an expert would not show any interest in his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts including the divine dragon. ''Huh? Why are they noting out?'' Ajax frowned when he saw that none of his summons came out of his inner world making Ajax frown. ''What is happening with them?'' He could see that all his summons were still in his inner world; however, they were noting out of the inner world. ''Haha'' Just as he was wondering about his summons, an old man appeared in front of him whileughing out loud. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1104: Investigation

The old man was wearing a simple robe and looked just like a non-cultivator. However, Ajax knew very well that old men like these are very powerful. So, he only asked, "Who are you? Where am I?" "The only reason you came here is to increase your bloodline, right? Then, why are bothering with other unnecessary questions?" The old man stoppedughing as he replied to Ajax. "Fine." Once he heard the old man''s reply, he didn''t bother to ask the same questions; instead, he asked, "Why am I?unable to summon by elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts?" "Young man, you can''t summon your elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts in my training grounds." The old man replied once again and before Ajax could say anything more, he continued, "I will be watching you from now on. Happy training." After saying those words, the old man disappeared into thin air. ''What?'' Ajax wanted to ask a few questions; however, seeing that the old man disappear, he could not shake his head bitterly. "So, I cannot summon my summons. Didn''t Captain Edmond say my summons can also improve in this training grounds?" Ajax thought back to the time where Captain Edmond said all the good things about the training grounds and felt like he had been fooled by Captain Edmond. "Anyway, let''s go and increase my bloodline points." Keeping all those thoughts aside, Ajax decided to start hunting for the spirit beasts and stopped worrying about the outside world. ording to Zanath, one day outside is equivalent to 10 days in this training ground. So, he wanted to gain as many bloodline points as possible before leaving this training. That''s right! He wanted to leave this training ground because there was an entire world waiting for him, if he didn''t go in time, they would die due to theck of food. ''As for how I leave this world, all I have to do is die, right?'' Ajax silently thought in his head and decided to die when he felt he needed to leave this training ground. Soon, his hunting began as he searched for the spirit beasts below the King realm. ..... In the Primordial demon world, "Something happened to Igunuz. Find out what exactly happened to him and his territory." On a huge barren mountain, the primordial demon emperor shouted at the four high-level primordial demon kings as he ordered them. "Yes, Emperor. We will do it right now." All four high-level demon kings nodded their heads and summoned the magical leaves from their space ring before flying out of the primordial demon world. "Damn you. I don''t know who you are, but I will make you wish for death for messing with one of my high-level demon kings." After the four primordial demon kings left the primordial demon world, the primordial demon emperor muttered to himself with a slightly angry look on his face. "If not for the uing meeting with the other four demon emperors, I would have personally visited Igunuz''s territory to check what''s happening with him." The demon emperor clenched his fists when he thought there was someone who was messing with his demon kings. "I think the other four demon kings will take care of the situation. I will just wait for the good news." With that thought in his mind, the primordial demon emperor went back to his cultivation. ¡­. "Jostruth, what do you think happened to Igunuz?" While flying out of the primordial demon world, one of the demon kings asked the demon king who was flying in the front. "What else? He must have messed up the ho''s nest and got killed." The demon king named Jostruth scoffed as he replied. From his reply, it was clearly visible that he and the demon king Igunuz were not on good terms; however, he still had to investigate because of the demon emperor''s orders. "Jostruth, calm down. Even though you two were always on bad terms, he is still one of us." Another demon king tried to say a few words; however, Jostruth didn''t bother to say anything. "I know what you are thinking about. Is it about the divine dragon?" The silent looking demon king asked after seeing Jostruth for a while. "Tagrek is always right." Surprisingly, Jostruth replied to the silent looking demon as he continued, "I already sent my demon army to all the surrounding smaller and normal worlds. But, I will stille and investigate Igunuz'' death because I guess there were many bronze demon worlds in his regionpared to our regions. So, let''s go and see whether any of the bronze demon worlds are missing or not." "If it is not, then we all know what must have happened there, right?" Even though they knew that a human was cursed by a Bronze demon king, they didn''t know which Bronze demon king it was as there were thousands of bronze demon worlds in all four demon kings'' regions. Because the bronze demons belong to the lowest ss of the demon race, none of the demon kings would bother about those worlds unless there was a need for cannon fodder for the invasion. Moreover, almost all the bronze demon world lies on the perimeter of their regions making it even more impossible to take care of. So, they didn''t even bother to count how many bronze demon worlds they have in their region. Nevertheless, it was not a big issue for them to find out if any one of the bronze demon worlds got destroyed recently; however, for that, they have to fly around the regionpletely and find the debris of the bronze demon world. "That''s right! I didn''t find any debris in my region." "Same here." "I searched for the debris as soon as I received the demon emperor''s order; however, all the bronze demon worlds in my region are still intact." Hearing Jostruth''s words, the other three high-level demon kings nodded their heads as he replied. "So, I think the bronze demon world must be from Igunuz''s region and he must have been killed by the same person who destroyed that world." While talking Jostruth got a revtion from his words that made the remaining three demon kings also nod their heads. "What are we waiting for? Let''s go." Soon, all four demon kings increased the speed of their magical leaf as they flew towards Igunuz''s region at an incredible speed. "What if the destroyed bronze demon world is not from Igunuz''s region?" "Huh?" All of a sudden, Tagrek, the silent-looking demon king muttered some words that made all the other demon kings look at him with confused looks. "What if that bronze demon world was from other demon emperors'' territories? Or it might even be a bronze demon world from an unexplored region of endless space?" "Stop talking nonsense and just focus on controlling your magical leaf." Jostruth appeared beside Tagrek and pped him on his head before asking him to focus on the flight. "Fine...I only said those words because I didn''t want you to keep your expectations high." Tagrek shrugged as he just followed the other demon kings. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1105: umting the bloodline points

In the mysterious training ground. Ajax waspletely oblivious regarding the investigation of the four high-level demon kings of the primordial demon emperor and currently, he was busy killing the spirit beasts in the mysterious training ground to get the normal bloodline points. ''Die'' ''sh'' Ajax killed a peak rank 6 spirit beast that looked like a snake; however, its entire body had scales made up of some unknown material. To kill this snake-like spirit beast, he had to enter the demonic form. ''Ding, Killed an unknown spirit beast and gained nothing. Just like always, he didn''t get any normal rewards he used to get by killing the spirit beasts. Instead, the huge spirit beast body started to disappear and turned into light particles before entering into Ajax''s body. ''Ding, 100 normal bloodline points are added to the host''s bloodline management tab. ''100? This is the highest number of bloodline points I gained so far.'' Ajax was excited when he saw so many bloodline points and felt justified for using the demonic form to kill the spirit beast. ''System, show me the total number of normal bloodline points.'' Stretching his body, Ajax asked the system. ''Ding, Normal bloodline points:- 2430. ''I still have a long way to go before upgrading my Abyssal beast god bloodline.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he determined to kill more spirit beasts to reach his normal bloodline points count to 10000. As long as he umted 10000 normal bloodline points, he could upgrade the abyssal beast god bloodline to level 2. As for his other two bloodlines, the Elemental merger, which was still at level 1; however, he gave the abyssal beast god bloodline the first priority whereas his third bloodline, it had already reached level 2. What''s more, he even had 405 aqua dragon bloodline points in his bloodline management tab. Another thing was, once he became strong enough, he could always go to the ''House of dragons'' to increase that bloodline. ''Before this demonic form disappears, I need to hunt as many spirit beasts as possible.'' Since his demonic form would onlyst for 10 minutes, Ajax wanted to be quick because in that form all his senses would be greatly enhanced and he could easily find the spirit beasts from a distance. ''Swoosh'' ''Let''s call it a grey-horned alligator.'' After running for a while, Ajax found an alligator-like spirit beast and since the system was unable to find any of these spirit beasts in its database, Ajax decided to name them himself. ''Now, you can go and die.'' Without any hesitation, he used his demon hands to kill it. Because of his demonic form, his demonic skill ''Demon hands'' also enhanced greatly making the grey-horned alligator helpless against his attack. ''Ding, The host killed a grey-horned alligator. Gained nothing. ''Ding, 8 normal bloodline points are added. ''Next'' Ajax didn''t waste any time, as he started searching and found a group of peak rank 6 spirit beasts that looked like wolves. "Green furred wolves." Ajax named them before activating his abyssal beast god bloodline and rushed towards them with an excited smile on his face. ''sh'' ''Advanced spatial des.'' ''Absolute darkness.'' ''Teleport.'' Since there was a group of more than 10 wolves, Ajax used almost all his skills tactfully before killing them one by one. ''Ding, The host killed a small group of green-furred wolves. Not gained any normal rewards. ''Ding, Gained 11 x 12 normal bloodline points which are 132 normal bloodline points. ''If only all the spirit beasts live in a group like this.'' It only took Ajax less than a minute and he already gained 132 normal bloodline points, making him wish for all the spirit beasts to live in groups. ''Grr grr'' As though the heavens had heard his wish, arge group of peak rank 6 green-furred wolves rushed towards him from a distance. "There are more than 100 of them. If each one of them gives 10 normal bloodlines, I will have 1000 more normal bloodline points before my demonic form goes away." Looking at the iing green-furred wolves in the distance, Ajax didn''t show any fear; instead, he hoped there would be more and more wolvesing behind them. So that he could gain more bloodline points. The thing is, he had been in this training ground for more than a couple of days and he got less than 2500 bloodline points. It was not like killing the spirit beasts is taking time; instead, it was finding a single spirit beast taking him time. Not only that, there were even king realm spirit beasts and without the help of his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax didn''t have enough confidence to go against them. ''In the future when I upgrade the aqua dragon bloodline, I will have full confidence in going against a King realm.'' Since his aqua dragon bloodline can increase his battle prowess to 10 times for a time period of two minutes in its current level, he was hoping it would be double when he upgraded it. ''It''s all in the future. For now, my target is to kill them and increase my normal bloodline points.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax summoned his heaven''s destroyer spear from the inventory and threw it at the iing green-furred wolves. It''s been so long since he used heaven''s destroyer spear because it went into slumber after helping in the past. Recently, it had woken up from its slumber and Ajax decided to use it because it was very convenient for him. Even though his spear dao is still at grade 4, the grade of heaven''s destroyer is mid-level legend grade and his strongest weapon. Its gradepensated the grade 5 weapon dao which hecked whenpared to the inheritance sword. "Right...left...straight." Since he could control the spear as he wished, Ajax already started killing them before they could even reach him. ''Ding, 10 normal bloodline points are added. ''Ding, 12 normal bloodline points are added. . . . ''Ding, 8 normal bloodline points are added. The system notifications continuously rang in his head giving him some kind of satisfaction. ''30 down. Not bad.'' By the time the green-furred wolves reached him, Ajax had already killed 30 of them with the help of his heaven''s destroyer. ''Time to change the weapon.'' Ajax used ''Teleport'' before keeping heaven''s destroyer spear in his inventory and summoned the inheritance sword. ''Die'' ''Grade 5 sword dao.'' ''Mountain splitting sword technique.'' While he was still in the air, Ajax released a powerful sword wave at the green-furred wolves. ''Ding, 15 normal bloodline points are added. ''Ding, 8? normal bloodline points are added. . . . ''Ding, The host''s demon form will be deactivated after 30 seconds. Once again the system notification''s rang in his head along with the notification that informed him about his demonic form. ''30 seconds?'' Ajax raised his brows and looked at the few surviving green-furred wolves in front of him and revealed a slight smile on his face. ''30 seconds is more than enough.'' ''Advanced spatial des.'' With a single skill, he killed thest few surviving green-furred wolves. ****** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1106: Three-headed Serpent

Chapter 1106: Three-headed Serpent

Time continued to pass and in a sh 10 days passed by in the training ground from the time he entered it. Ajax was killing the spirit beasts all the time and other than the green-furred wolf pack he encountered on the third day, there was no other spirit beasts'' pack making Ajax work even harder to umte the normal bloodline points. With each passing, it became harder for Ajax to find spirit beasts; however, he didn''t give up on searching and motivated himself for the bloodline points which could increase his bloodline. ''System, how many normal bloodline points do I have?'' Ajax asked the system with a tired look on his face. Even though he was a level 7 general realm cultivator, for some reason he felt tired just after 10 days making Ajax think it was because of the training ground. He thought of leaving the training grounds many times; however, whenever he thought about how close he was in umting the 10000 normal bloodline points, Ajax gritted his teeth as he searched for the spirit beasts. ''Ding, Normal bloodline points:- 9200. ''I just need 800 more bloodline points, that means 80 more spirit beasts. I have to find a spirit beast pack like the green-furred wolves.'' Ajax hoped he would find a pack of spirit beasts; however, the reality is a harsh truth that he didn''t find a single spirit beast, not to mention a pack. ''Damn it...why is it so hard to find the spirit beasts below the King realm?'' Ajax cursed and got tired of searching for the rank 6 spirit beasts. "Looks I will go and fight the King realm spirit beasts." While searching for the rank 6 spirit beasts, Ajax had found so many King real spirit beasts; however, he didn''t want to die yet. So, he avoided them. But, now, he just got tired of searching for the rank 6 spirit beasts and decided to fight a King realm spirit beast. ''Even I die, I will just get out of this training ground. Dying is not new to me.'' Ajax had already experienced death in the Battle Tower. So, he was never afraid of a fake death which would only cause pain but he would still be alive. "I will challenge the weakest King realm spirit beast I have encountered so far." Once he decided to fight a king realm spirit beast, Ajax thought about the all King realm spirit beasts he had encountered so far, finding the weakest one from its presence. As for any hidden skills or trump cards of that weakest spirit beast, Ajax didn''t have a single clue about it. Soon, he rushed back in the direction he came and went back to the weakest King realm spirit beast. ''All my powerful skills and bloodlines are not in cooldown. So, I can use all of them to go against it. I hope I can be sessful in killing it.'' Just when he was about to enter into the territory of that King realm spirit beast, Ajax checked his demonic form, abyssal beast god bloodline and Aqua dragon bloodline. Once he was sure that he could use them all, Ajax was no longer about anything as he directly rushed towards the sleeping King realm spirit beast. "Three-headed serpent, here Ie." Even though it looked like it was sleeping, Ajax was sure that it had already sensed his presence and was just waiting for him to rush towards it. The King realm spirit beast he chose was a three-headed green coloured long snake. ''Hiss'' Just like he expected, the three heads of the serpent hissed at him before lunging at him. ''Heaven''s destroyer¡­.rank 4 spear dao.'' However, Ajax was already expecting that. So, he summoned Heaven''s destroyer spear and threw it at the serpent before activating the spear dao. ''Grade 3 Battle-axe dao'' ''You two join the fight.'' In the next sect, Ajax summoned two battle-axes from his spirit consciousness as he threw them at the two other heads. ''Rank 5 sword dao'' ''Inheritance sword.'' Finally, he summoned the inheritance sword and he didn''t throw it as he shed at the body of the three-headed serpent. ''Kacha'' Except for a small cut, there was nothing. ''As I expected, the King realm spirit beast is very strong.'' Ajax nodded his head knowingly as he hurriedly jumped back to see how his other weapons deal with the spirit beast. ''Sigh'' The white-coloured spear had turned back into blood-red colour while lying on the ground with the other two weapons. ''Looks like there is no need to waste any more time.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax muttered, ''Aqua dragon bloodline, activate.'' ''Demonic form, activate.'' He directly used two powerful trump cards without any hesitation. ''Swoosh'' The aura emitted by Ajax changed as it became very powerful; however, it still didn''t break the barrier to enter the King realm. ''Swoosh'' Once the bloodline increased his demonic form and Ajax felt invincible for a second. ''I need to finish the fight within two minutes.'' Since the aqua dragon bloodline could increase his battle prowess by 20 times for only for two minutes, Ajax wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible. ''ng'' ''sh'' ''Advanced spatial des'' ''Teleport'' ''Demon hands'' ''Absolute darkness'' ''Shadow clone'' ''Telport'' ''Mountain splitting sword technique'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax used all his skills and techniques by disappearing and appearing, making the king realm spirit beast quite confused. No matter how many times he used ''Teleport'', he would only target a few inches below its center head. Finally, after one minute of using all his skill, Ajax was able to destroy the center head of the spirit beast. ''Phew...even though it seemed simple, I am quite tired.'' Looking at the twitching spirit beast on the ground, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and waited until the spirit beast stopped moving. ''Hiss'' However, surprisingly, the spirit beast stopped twitching as he raised its head before lunging at him. ''What? You still didn''t die?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden lunging of the spirit beast; however, he got used to the danger after having different kinds of fights. So, he was able to use the ''Teleport'' at the right time before dodging the attack. ''Looks like I have to cut all three heads for this spirit beast to kill.'' Ajax looked at the three-headed serpent which became a two-headed serpent and thought to himself. ''However, I think I can do it.'' Surprisingly, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at the two-headed serpent and thought, ''Did it be a lot slower than before or am I imagining things?'' Ajax already knew that it was former and he rted it to him cutting off the head of the serpent. "Since I have enough confidence to kill it, I have to kill it soon before the bloodline is deactivated." Ajax didn''t waste any time, as he knew he only had less than one minute before his 10 times boost disappeared. So, he repeated the same thing and used all his attacks on the left head hoping it could cut it off in less than 30 seconds. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1107: [Bonus Chapter]Coming out of the training ground

# Bonus chapters for Spacecraft (3/10) ''Advanced spatial des'' ''Teleport'' ''Demon hands'' ''Absolute darkness'' ''Shadow clone'' ''Teleport'' ''Mountain splitting sword technique'' ''sh'' It took a little more than one minute for Ajax to cut the three-headed serpent''s main head; however, it only took a little more than thirty seconds to cut its left head. Once the two main heads and the left head of the three-headed serpent were cut off, its reaction speed and attacking power decreased gradually. ''Ding, The host''s ''Aqua dragon bloodline'' is deactivated. Not only the battle prowess of the three-head snake decreased but even Ajax''s bloodline was deactivated making his 10 times boost disappear. So, overall, Ajax was still a little weaker than the single-headed serpent. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline activated.'' Without wasting any time, he activated his first bloodline and soon, started feeling the power building in him. ''After experiencing the 10 times boost from the aqua dragon bloodline, this three times boost is no longer enticing.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he continued, ''But still, it is better than having no boost at all.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax tightened his grip around the inheritance sword and rushed towards the single-headed serpent. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Teleport'' Currently, both Ajax and the single-headed serpent had the same strength despite the serpent being a King realm spirit beast. It was mostly because of the loss of its two heads. However, the fight did not end in the stalemate because of Ajax''s ''Teleport'' effect from his lightning cloud steps. Every time, the single-headed serpent attacked him, he would easily dodge that attack with that ''Teleport'' and attack it using one of his skills. With its reaction speed being so low, Ajax was able to cut off thest head of the serpent after fighting with it for more than 10 minutes. ''Thud'' Thest head of the serpent rolled on the ground as Ajaxnded on the ground with ragged breathing. ''Ding, The host killed the three-headed serpent and gained nothing. The system directly used the name he used to call the serpent and as usual, there were no regr rewards from the kill. Soon, the huge body of the three-headed serpent started disappearing as small light particles started entering his head. ''Huh?'' Unlike previously, there was a slight pain in his head that surprised him a little; however, he thought, ''Looks like I will be getting some good amount of bloodline points.'' Just thinking about it made him excited as he was looking forward to the system notification informing him about the normal bloodline points he gained. Time continued to pass and more than 10 minutes passed by but still the light particles were entering into his head. ''Maybe this is the advantage of having fewer spirit beasts.'' Only now, Ajax thought about the advantage because he could peacefully absorb the light particles into his head. Even though moving around would not cause him any problems, Ajax preferred to bask in the light particles. ''Ding, +500 normal bloodline points added to the host''s ount. ''Ding, +500 normal bloodline points added to the host''s ount. ''Ding, +500 normal bloodline points added to the host''s ount. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications in his head that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''What? Three notifications?'' Ajax hurriedly opened his bloodline management tab to check the total normal bloodline points in his head. ''Ding, Normal bloodline points:- 10700. ''I really got 1500 normal bloodline points.'' Only after confirming that the 1500 normal bloodline points were added to his ount, Ajax revealed an excited smile. ''It''s time to upgrade the abyssal beast god bloodline.'' Since he had already received the target, Ajax decided to upgrade his bloodline before thinking about either fighting or leaving this world. ''Roar'' ''Screech'' ''Hiss'' ''Thud thud'' Just as he thought to convert the normal bloodline points into abyssal beast god bloodline''s points, he heard the cries of many spirit beasts from various directions. ''What''s?happening?'' Until now, the entire forest was very silent and he had to search for so long just to find a single spirit beast; however, now, the entire forest is resounded with the cries of many spirit beasts. ''Looks like my luck is good. Once I upgrade the abyssal beast god bloodline to level 2, I can kill them all.'' Ajax thought to himself and used ''Teleport'' a couple of times to the top of the tallest tree. ''They are...'' Ajax was shocked by what he had seen around him. ''sh'' Before he could finish his words, the huge bird which he had seen when he had first entered this training ground grabbed him in its ws. ''Puchi'' After grabbing Ajax in its ws, it tore him apart before releasing him from its ws. Ajax still had a look of shock in his eyes as he started disappearing from the training ground. Once Ajax disappeared from the training ground, all the spirit beats stopped roaring and once again the forest returned to normal. ... Outside the never-returning cave. It''s been only a single day in the real world since Ajax entered the mysterious training ground. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Ajax appeared in front of the never-returning cave. ''It was so powerful.'' Ajax still remembered the feeling of getting caught in the ws of a powerful spirit beast and being torn apart by it. ''I never thought my skill ''Emergency ghost'' would only cause me so much pain.'' Emergency ghost is a skill he got by forming a contract with Zen, the dark elemental spirit. With that skill, no matter what kind of attack he receives, he could not be killed; however, it was only once a day. As for what happened in the training ground, the skill was triggered when the huge bird caught him in its ws and saved him. However, that only made things worse for him because the huge flying spirit beast became even more angry as it tore him apart before throwing him down. ''Nevertheless, I have umted sufficient normal bloodline points. So, I can increase my bloodline.'' Ajax didn''t bother about the pain he received when dying in the training ground; instead, he was feeling excited for having enough normal bloodline points. ''Swoosh'' Just when he was about to convert the normal bloodline, the demi-human named Zanath appeared in front of him. "How did it go? Have you gained anything?" With a slight smile on his face, Zanath asked Ajax as he tried to probe Ajax''s gains from the training ground. "It is not bad." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face. Since he understood the value of the training ground, Ajax obviously showed respect to Zanath who acted as the trial master. "So, will you being back into the training grounds?" However, no matter how much he probed with his eyes, Zanath was unable to see exactly who Ajax had gained. "Of course." How could Ajax note back for the training grounds? So, he hurriedly nodded his head. "Since you just got killed, you need to take a break of one month beforeing back." Zanath stopped probing Ajax''s gains from the training ground as he continued, "However, you need to pay an entry fee from the next time if you want to enter." ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1108: Boss Ghost

''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he heard Zanath''s words as he asked, "And what is it?" Since he didn''t know how the training grounds work in reality. So, he could only ask about it. "Before that let me tell you a few more things about these training grounds." Zanath revealed a slight smile on his face as he started exining, "These caves and training grounds were created by someone powerful to find some genius cultivators." "As long as they sessfullyplete the trial in the cave, they could be part of the training program where you can increase your regr cultivation, skills'' levels, cultivation techniques and even bloodlines. For the first time, all the participants will be weed without any fee to let them know that it is worth spending to enter the training ground." "Each training ground looks almost the same; however, they will increase the levels of those things that were supposed to increase." Zanath stopped speaking as he wanted to give some time Ajax to understand everything. "As for the entry fee, there is nothing in particr because different participants will offer different things like rare items, weapons, pills, herbs, cultivation techniques." Finally, the half-demon informed about the price to enter the training ground. "What? So, how do I know beforehand if I had to prepare it before entering the training ground?" Ajax asked with a frown because this kind of entry fee is totally confusing for him. "Fine...to say it in even more simple terms, you should bring 10 heaven-grade weapons or equivalent valued items." Zanath informed Ajax about the exact price to enter the training ground. ''10 heaven grade weapons?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, when thinking about the benefits he would be getting inside the training ground, Ajax felt the price was appropriate. "Okay then. I wille back after one month." Once he knew about the price, Ajax nodded his head as he decided to resume his ns. As for the price, he didn''t bother about it as he could gather a mountain of heaven-grade weapons from his grey dwarf world. "Okay." Zanath nodded his head and said, "Be careful. You have a bright future ahead." ..... ''This distance should be enough, I guess.'' After moving away more than 10 kilometers from the never-returning cave, Ajax decided to leave this world for the five elemental world. As for Giamont''s territory and the primitive ape king, Ajax didn''t think much because he knew that the ape king was intelligent enough to be able to conquer two territories on his own. ''System, I wanted to enter the five elemental world.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax asked the system to send him to the five elemental world. ''Ding, Consuming a five elemental world pass and opening the portal to the five elemental world. ''Swoosh'' Just as he asked the system to open the portal, he got a system notification and soon after, the portal to the five elemental world was opened. ''Time to deal with the ''Lions''.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax directly entered the portal as he was already determined to finish the mission he missed. ...¡­. In the Western foxnds. "Damn you...bastard. How dare you hit me back? Do you know who I am?" A young human with ck ears and a ck tail pushed a grey fox eared man. "I don''t know and I don''t care." The grey-furred fox man replied the demonic foxman with a serious look on his face as he continued, "If you ever talk bad about my father, I will not think twice to kill you." "How dare a member of the grey-furred fox tribe talks to the young chief of the demonic fox tribe." The demonic foxman shouted at the grey fox eared man. Soon, that grey fox eared young man was surrounded by a group of demonic fox tribe members. "Did you forget the new rules of thebined regions of Shixato wilds and Western foxnds? If you ''Boss Ghost'' found out about these things, I wonder what he would do?" There was no fear in the grey fox eared young man as he revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to them. "Just kill him, I will take care of that four-eyed ghost fox with the help of my father." The young chief of the demonic fox tribe became furious when he heard ''Boss Ghost'' and ordered his tribe members to kill the young chief of the grey-furred fox tribe. "Yes, young chief." Soon, everyone stopped hesitating as they jumped at the grey fox eared young man. After the western foxnds were conquered by Ajax, there was an additional fox tribe other than the three ancient fox tribes and it was none other than the Grey-furred fox tribe. Each fox tribe has their own young chief who has the potential to be the next tribe leader and before leaving the five elemental world, Ajax had set some rules. Among them, the most important rule is that all four fox tribes are equal and they should not conspire against one another. All four tribe heads agreed; however, that was not easy for the youngsters of those tribes to follow the same rules because until now, they always looked down on the fox tribes like Grey-furred fox tribes without any actual history behind it. Except for the ghost fox tribe which had fewer members, the young members of the other two tribes always bullied the young members of the grey-furred fox tribes. Even though theyined to their parents and elders, The grey-furred tribe leader Frey didn''t want to create some kind of war with the other two tribes. So, he asked the young members of his tribe to train harder and make the tribe powerful such that no one would bully them in the future. The young members of the grey-furred fox tribe could only nod their heads in reply and were determined to be powerful. However, no one could be powerful overnight and with time, the bullying of the young members from the two tribes increased to the next level. "Where is your so-called Boss? Haha" As the young chief of the grey-furred fox tribe was getting beaten up badly, the demonic fox tribe''s young chief mocked and startedughing. "Swoosh" Just as he finished his words, a ck-coloured silhouette appeared in front of Dane, the young chiefs of the demonic fox tribe. "Are you looking for me?" A cold voice resounded in Dane''s ears and at the same time, three sharp ws slightly went into his neck. "Bo...boss Ghost" Dane was shocked looking at the four-eyed ck-coloured fox in front of him as he greeted. In normal situations, even if he had encountered this so-called ''Boos Ghost'', he would not show any respect and even mock him. However, things disappeared and right now, as long as he angered the fox in front of him, he could say goodbye to this world. "Bo..ss Ghost¡­.you are here." The grey-furred fox tribe''s young chief revealed a slight smile on his bloodied face as he called the four-eyed ghost fox. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1109: Idol and Goddesses

The four-eyed ghost fox and the so-called ''Boss Ghost'' was none other than Ajax''s contracted spirit beast ''Ghost''. Even though it didn''t have unusually high cultivation, it had some cool skills like ''Teleport'', ''Phantom sh'' and a powerful one among all his skill ''Ghost meteortrap'' that could kill thousands by trapping them. So, among the youngster, other than Raweth, Snow and Sparrow, Ghost is the most powerful one among the younger generation in both regions. However, Ghost never misused his power and always stood against the young tribe members of the two ancient fox tribes and supported the grey-furred fox tribe. "Aren''t you looking for me? Why are you so scared to meet me?" Ghost was still in the spirit beast form and his eyes glowed when he said those words. "I am sorry, Ghost. Please, let me go? I will not tell anything that happened here to my father." Sweat rolled down on his face as Dane asked Ghost to let him go. "Sure." Ghost didn''t have any thoughts of killing Dane because he knew Dane was acting just like what he had been seen and heard from his childhood making him feel like he was superior. So, he retracted his ws as he continued, "However, before leaving, you have to take Frain with you and take care of him until all his injuries are healed." "What?" Since the ws had disappeared from his neck, Dane got some courage and he shouted in quick response to Ghost''s words. "Puchi" ''Aargh'' The retracted ws of Ghost appeared once again as they pierced a little deeper this time making him groan in pain. "How about now?" Ghost asked Dane once again with a smirk on its small fox face. "Sure. I will take care of him until all his injuries are healed." With a bitter look on his face, Dane agreed to Ghost''s words. "See. It''s so simple." After retracting his ws, Ghost revealed a smile before disappearing from his ce and appeared on Frain''s shoulder. "Bo..boss ghost. I..I don''t want to go?" Frain mustered his courage as he said those words to the four-eyed ghost fox. "Are you sure about it?" Ghost was proudly standing on Frain''s shoulder emitted the aura of a ''Boss'' as he continued, "If you don''t want to go, then leave it." He didn''t force Frain and casually nodded his head as he continued, "I thought to bring you to Shixato wilds to meet my brother Raweth if your injuries healed quickly. Looks like I have to bring someone else." While shaking his head, Ghost jumped off Frains'' shoulder as he casually walked away from Frain. "Boss...Boss...wait." Initially, Frain heaved a sigh of relief; however, when he heard Ghost''sst words, that made him anxious because he was waiting to meet Raweth for some time. Raweth, the youngest tribe leader of the Fire crow tribe, cleared many areas inhabited by the unevolved spirit beasts. So, he was an idol for many youngsters. As for Snow and Sparrow, they were the goddesses of all the young tribesmen from both regions. So, how could Frain let go of such an opportunity to meet his idol Raweth? Even though he was injured, he ran after Ghost before saying that he would go with Dane. "Good. Don''t worry. I will inform tribe leader Deon. So, you don''t have to worry about Dane doing something to you." Nodding his head, Ghost gave the confidence required for Frain. "Are youing or staying with your boss forever?" Soon, Dane''s annoyed voice came from the distance that made Frain say his goodbyes to Ghost before leaving with Dane. "I hope Dane changes his mentality before Frain''s injuries are? healed." Looking at the leaving group of Demonic fox tribesmen, Ghost silently thought in his head. "Time to head back and train with the father." Once he sent Frain and Dane away,? Ghost decided to go back to his father for his usual training. "Boss Ghost." Just as he was about to leave the ce, he heard a familiar voice behind him. "Master." ''Swoosh'' Without turning back, Ghost could say who it was and without wasting any time, he disappeared from his ce and appeared on Ajax''s shoulder. "Looks like you have been doing good while I was gone." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax said to the fox as he caressed its smooth fur. "I am waiting for you, master." With an excited look on its face, Ghost replied to Ajax. "Oh...really?" Ajax asked as he took out a ck-coloured stone from his inventory as he gave it to the ghost fox on his shoulder. "This is for me?" Ghost was pleasantly surprised seeing the bestialw stone in his paws and asked Ajax with an excited look in its eyes. "If not for you, who else is here?" Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face making Ghost even more excited. "Thank you so much, master." If the youngsters from the four fox tribes saw the four-eyed ghost fox now, they would be shocked because usually, he would not interact with anyone. After thanking Ajax, Ghost continued saying, "Master, while you left this world, I was taking good care of the young tribe members from all four fox tribes just like you said." "I know you will do that. That''s the reason why I asked you to do it and that''s your reward." Pointing at the bestialw stone in Ghost''s paws, Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face. "Let''s go and meet your father and the other tribe leaders." Soon, Ajax and Ghost moved towards the Ghost fox tribe. The moment Ajax entered the Five elemental world, he had already contacted his ex-strongest spirit beast with five bestialws to inform about his arrival to all the tribe leaders in the Western fox region. As for the tribe leaders from other regions, he directly contacted them through his contract. After a couple of hours. "Master, this is the new territory of the ghost fox tribe." After slowly walking for a couple of hours, Ajax and Ghost reached the Ghost fox tribe as Ghost excitedly introduced them to Ajax. "It is good." Even though it was not as majestic as the buildings from the Shixato tribes, it was still good as the Ghost fox tribe is still growing and their numbers are less. "Young master, you are here." Errol, the ghost fox tribe''s leader sensed Ajax from some distance and hurriedly rushed out of his manor as he greeted Ajax. "How are you, uncle Errol?" With a slight smile, Ajax asked Errol as he checked the tribe members of the ghost fox behind Errol. "I am fine and with the help of the potion you have given, I was able to grow my tribe by 3000 members. So, currently, there are more than 3000 ghost fox tribesmen in the tribe." Errol was excited when he replied because he didn''t expect his tribe would grow by so much in such a short time. "Good. Let''s enter the building and discuss about the Mountain Lion Woods." ****** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month).

# Bonus chapters for Spacecraft (4/10). In the main hall of the Ghost fox tribe. There was a rectangr table with chairs on either side and a main chair on the third side. Currently, Ajax was sitting on the main chair and to his left, the three young tribe leaders, who were also his contracted spirit beasts were sitting. As for his right side, the four chairs were upied by the tribe leaders of the fox tribes from the western foxnds. "So, everything was going good in the two regions, right? Or is there something I need to know?" Even though the main reason for this sudden meeting was to discuss about the ''Mountain lion woods'', Ajax asked about the two regions and how they were doing. "Everything is going well, master." Soon, one after another, tribe leaders from the Shixato region nodded their heads as they informed Ajax that there were no problems. "Actually, there was a small problem between the youngsters from the four fox tribes." However, the tribe leaders from the fox tribes hesitated a little before informing them about the bullying. "I know and I just saw when I entered this world." When he entered the Five elemental world, he was somewhat closer to the ce where the Grey-furred fox tribe''s young chief was bullied by the demonic fox tribe''s young chief. He wanted to help him; however, with the appearance of the Ghost fox, Ajax just watched it from a distance. Later, whileing to the Ghost fox tribe, Ajax got to know everything about it, making Ajax frown. "And who said it was a small problem?" However, Ajax didn''t like it when the four tribe leaders considered it as a small problem. "..." No one dared to speak when they saw how serious Ajax was and silently listened. "I don''t know what you are going to do, I want all the young members from your four tribes to consider each other as brothers. Only then, we can fight against our enemies. Do you understand?" Ajax shouted at them with the same serious look on his face. The thing is if one tribe member didn''t trust another tribe member, then even if they have more numbers, it is of no use as they would be killed because of their mistrust. "Yes, master." The tribe leaders also knew about it and they were trying various methods to change the behaviour of their young generation. So, they hurriedly nodded their heads because they had confidence in changing their young generation. "Good. I hope it will be sought soon." Ajax calmed down as he nodded his head before saying, "Okay then, let''se to the actual discussion and it is Mountain lion woods." Since everything regarding the two regions is finished, Ajax directly came to the next topic. "So, how much information have you gathered about the mountain lion woods?" Before leaving the Five elemental world, Ajax ordered them to gather as much information as possible on the Mountain lion woods. "Master, I entered the Mountain lion woods twice in thest two months." Frey, the grey-furred tribe leader respectfully replied to Ajax as he continued, "During my two visits to the Mountain lion woods, I saw two King realm re-cultivated spirit beasts." "Two re-cultivated king realm spirit beasts?" Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, "I think there are more King realm spirit beasts, right?" "Yes, master. Unlike Shixato wilds and Western foxnds, the Mountain lion woods has only a single tribe." Frey had some connections with someone from Mountain lion woods. So, his knowledge about the region is higherpared to others. "So, ording to your guess, how many King realm spirit beasts will that region have?" After listening to Frey''s information about the mountain lion woods, Ajax asked Frey about his opinion. "Even though I know someone from the mountain lion woods, we are not that close for him to say all those things to me; however, I can tell that there will be more than 10 King realm spirit beasts in that region." "More than 10 is a little difficult." Ajax didn''t ask how Frey knew someone from the mountain lion woods; instead, he only focused on Frey''s answer. ''Alder can take care of two whereas Twilight can take care of one King realm re-cultivated spirit beast. The three elemental spirits that can temporarily increase their cultivation to King realm could take care of three, Volcanic and Ignis could take care of another one.'' Soon, Ajax started calcting how many King realm beings he and his summons could take care of. He ws just making that calction in his head; however, he didn''t have any ns to attack the Mountain lion woods without knowing exactly how many King realm experts were there in that region. Moreover, what if there was a high-level king expert in that region. Even though the chances are very low, Ajax felt it was possible. ''Overall, I can take care of 10 with the help of my contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits along with the tribe leaders. So, it is better for me to form an alliance; instead of going face to face with that region.'' Ajax shook his head and finally understood why the system said that he had to form an alliance with the Mountain lion woods; instead of fighting it. ''Ding, A new system mission is generated in the quest tab. Please check it. Just as he was thinking whether he should finalize the alliance with the Mountain lion woods, he received a system notification. ''What? A mission?'' Ajax raised his brows with that system notification and without wasting any time, he opened the quest tab to check the newly generated system mission. ''Ding, Mission name:- Gain new followers Mission details:- Make at least one King realm expert from the mountain lion woods as your follower. Mission reward:- A smaller world''s world core. Note:- The reward will be increased if the host manages to gain more King realm followers. Time limit:- Seven days. Note:- Have you forgotten about your dwarves? Complete the mission soon and leave this world as soon as possible. ''What?'' Looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Ajax was shocked as he checked the mission reward once again. ''Where did the system get another smaller world''s world core? Also, if I manage to convince five king realm experts, will I get five smaller world''s world cores?'' Ajax silently thought to himself; however, he doubted that system would be that generous. ''There is a time limit for this mission.'' The first thing he checked was the mission reward and then he checked other details. ''You don''t have to remind me about my little dwarves. I will go back in time to give them food. Also, I don''t have any more passes for the five elemental world. So, let me finish all the things here before leaving this world.'' Ajax was annoyed with that system''s note as he replied to the system. ''Ding, Someone forgot about the mission ''Form an alliance with the Mountain lion woods''. ''Damn you...stop reminding me about it.'' Ajax cursed the system and looking at the mission details, Ajax thought of someone, "Master Ren." ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1111: Meeting Master Ren

Since it is very hard to know the exact strength of the ''Mountain lion woods'', Ajax thought of his powerful ally Master Ren. As for why he called him an ally, it was because Master Ren needed something from him in the future, so he thought he could ask a little help from Master Ren. "Everyone, just continue doing what you are doing and develop these two regions to the best of your ability." Once Ajax thought of Master Ren who had unknown cultivation, Ajax decided to stop having any more discussions with the tribe leaders. So, he concluded the meeting by saying, "If there is any need, I will call you. So, be ready for it." "Yes, master." All the tribe leaders nodded their heads before they left to their tribes because, right now, they were busy as the regions are still developing and they have many things to take care of. "Master, where are we going now?" Soon, Ajax also said his goodbye to meet Master Ren; however, just as he walked out of the ghost fox tribe, Ghost appeared on his shoulders as he asked. "I am going somewhere and as for you, go back and learn that bestialw." After saying that, Ajax picked the ghost fox in his hands and threw it into the tribe. ... Ajax walked to who knows whereas he continued to walk. "I want to talk to you." Along the way, Ajax said those words; however, there was no one around him until a few kilometers radius. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Master Ren appeared in front of him and asked, "Wee back." "You are here...nice." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Master Ren appear in front of him because it''s been a while since he was trying to contact Master Ren. "Yeah. I am here because I needed to talk with you." Master Ren nodded his head as he walked towards Ajax as he said, "Do you know what you owe me a favour." ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment and replied to Master Ren, "Yes. You helped me with Master Red and I will be helping you in teleporting to your greater world." Previously, Master Ren helped? Ajax in killing Master Red. So, of course, Ajax remembered it. "I am not talking about it. Since I already helped you with Master Red, you are bound to help me in returning back to my world." Master Ren stopped walking as he continued, "While you are gone, two powerful experts entered this world. If not for me, they would have destroyed your two little regions and everyone including in it." "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard Master Ren''s words and asked, "Who are they? Did you kill them?" "I think they were rted to Master Red as they called themselves Master Green and Master Brown." Master Ren had azy look on his face as he continued, "As for killing them, I have to spend some energy to kill them. So, I let them go just with a warning." "What? Why would you let them go? What if they bring more men this time?" Ajax was shocked at Master Ren''s words as he asked him why would he let them go? It wasmon sense that those two would be back with more men for revenge. So, Ajax felt what Master Ren did was not right. "Don''t worry. No one will being back for the revenge of Master Red. So, you owe me an additional favour for it." Master Ren shrugged his hands as he exined about his favour. "Oh." Ajax felt the mysteriousness of Master Ren increased to another level with hisst words; however, he didn''t ask anything because he was sure that Ajax Master Ren would be not answering any questions. "I want another favour from you." Ajax hesitated a little before asking for a favour from Master Ren. The thing is, he already owes Master Ren two times and even though he could repay by teleporting Master Ren back to his world, he still owes one more thing. Nevertheless, he was asking one more favour. "As long as it doesn''t require me to use my strength, I can do it freely." Master Ren was happy when Ajax asked him another favour because the more Ajax owes him, the better it is for me. Master Ren could see that Ajax has unique skills and a lot of potential. So, once he bes a powerful cultivator, he could ask for some good favours. Still, he promised that he would not fight with anyone for Ajax''s sake and said that he would only use his cultivation to make others fear him. "I only need your cultivation. I guess it is enough for the Mountain lion woods." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face as he heaved a sigh of relief that Master Ren would help him. "Mountain Lion Woods?" Master Ren revealed a slight smile on his face as he said, "Mountain Lion woods has nearly 100 low-level king realm spirit beasts and a single mid-level king realm spirit beast. So, if you have any ns to conquer that region, I would suggest you remove that thought from your head." As a powerful cultivator, it was not a big deal for Master Ren to probe the strength of the Mountain lion woods. So, he informed him of the strength of that region and asked him to drop the idea of conquering that region. "What?" Ajax was shocked with the strength of the Mountain lion woods because he had never imagined that there would be that many King realm experts, not to mention mid-level king realm spirit beasts. ''Looks like I am right in not dering the way on the Mountain lion woods just because of destroying some smaller worlds.'' Ajax muttered to himself and continued thinking, ''If these Mountain lion woods was already this strong, then how about the Ancient evergreen woods? It must have a high-level king realm expert, right?'' Among the four regions in the five elemental worlds, Shixato wilds is the weakest region whereas the Ancient evergreen wood is the strongest region. So, Ajax was wondering how strong he had to be topletely conquer the Five elemental world. "So, what are you nning to do with the Mountain lion woods if you are not nning to dere war?" Master Ren didn''t understand Ajax''s thoughts regarding the Mountain lion woods. So, he could only ask him. "Currently, I amcking a few followers. So, I want some King realm experts from the Mountain lion woods to be my followers." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Master Ren, making him surprised a little before asking, "And how are you going to do it?" Master Ren knew a few ways to gain followers; however, he was curious about Ajax''s ways of making the arrogant and proud lions as his followers. "I have a way; however, I need your help for it. Don''t worry, you don''t have to fight; instead, you just release your cultivation pressure." Ajax replied to Master Ren while maintaining the same smile on his face. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1112: Second Level 2 Bloodline

"I want you to follow me to the Mountain lion woods." Even though? Ajax didn''t know the exact cultivation of Master Ren, he was very sure that Master Ren''s cultivation was higher than the mid-level King realm. So, he asked Master Ren to follow him to the Mountain lion woods. As for what he was going to do, he didn''t tell Master Ren. "I wille with you on one condition and it is you have to exin what you are nning to do?" Master Ren was even more curious when he saw Ajax''s confident smile. So, he wanted to know about it. "It is the most primitive method." Ajax didn''t think much because it was not much of a secret as he continued, "To fight them and defeat them. As long as I defeat them, they have to swear their loyalty to me." ''What?'' Master Ren felt all his curiosity disappear after hearing what Ajax was nning to do and asked, "What if you lost in the fight? With your current cultivation, fighting a king realm experts is simply suicide." Master Ren seriously asked Ajax about his loss and suggested that he was simply looking for death. Even though Ajax''s cultivation increased by four minor realms in such a short span, Master Ren didn''t think Ajax could defeat a King realm spirit beast. "Master Ren, cultivation doesn''t represent battle prowess. Moreover, I am a summoner and I can use my elemental spirits, right?" Ajax was not demotivated by Master Ren''s words because he knew about his own battle prowess and his summons. "As a summoner, you could only use your elemental spirits and can''t use your contracted spirit beasts like that five elemental spirit beast, Pentapus if you are going to challenge them with your new King realm spirit beast." Master Ren revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to Ajax. "I know." Ajax nodded his head with a knowing look. "Good then. I am waiting for you to convince those lions to fight you and ept the bet." Master Ren was already ready for a good show. So, he said he was looking forward to the fight. "How about tomorrow morning?" Ajax nodded his head as he selected a time for entering the mountain lion woods. "I am ready whenever you are ready." Master Ren had only one thing to do in the five elemental world and it was to heal his injuries until Ajax''s space elemental spirit became strong enough to open a portal to his world. And he was already bored with healing his injuries for a few years now and it was itching to watch some action. "Let''s meet at the Moutain lion woods region." After saying those words, Ajax left that ce as he still had one more thing to do before entering the mountain lion woods. "Okay." Nodding his head, Master Ren disappeared from his ce thinking, ''Let''s see how he is going to make the lions agree to his challenge tomorrow.'' ..... In the Ghost fox tribe''s guest hall. After having the conversation with Master Ren, Ajax walked back to the Ghost fox tribe and took a guest hall. Even though Errol suggested Ajax take the master hall to rest, Ajax politely rejected it as he entered the guest hall. ''It''s time to upgrade my bloodline.'' Aftering out of the training ground, Ajax directly entered the Five elemental world and kept the bloodline upgrading on hold until now because he was not in a hurry to fight anyone today. Once he decided to challenge the Mountain lion region''s king realm experts, Ajax thought of upgrading his bloodline since he had enough normal bloodline points. ''System, convert all the normal bloodline points into Elemental spirit merger bloodline points.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly asked the system to convert the normal bloodline points into Elemental spirit merger bloodline points. Currently, he could only upgrade the Abyssal beast god bloodline and the Elemental spirit merger bloodline with the normal bloodline points he had. However,pared to the Abyssal beast god bloodline, Ajax felt Elemental spirit merger bloodline will be more useful for tomorrow''s fight because he could only use elemental spirits if he could make the lion agree to his bet. ''Ding, 10700 normal bloodline points are converted into 107 elemental spirit merger bloodline points. ''Ding, The host has enough elemental spirit merger bloodline points to upgrade his bloodline to level 2. Do you want to upgrade it? It didn''t take much time for the system to convert the bloodline points from normal to elemental spirit merger. At the same time, he got the system notification asking him to upgrade the bloodline. ''Of course. I have been waiting for it for a while.'' With a slight nod, Ajax gave permission to the system to upgrade his elemental spirit merger bloodline. ''Ding, 100 elemental spirit merger bloodline points consumed. Please wait while upgrading the bloodline to level 2. ''Aargh'' Soon, Ajax felt the pain in his head making him groan a little; however,pared to the pain he had gone through when upgrading the Aqua dragon bloodline, the current pain was nothing for Ajax. So, he was able to get it under control in no time. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for upgrading the bloodline ''Elemental spirit merger'' to level 2. Please check more details about the bloodline in the ''Bloodline management tab''. The bloodline''s upgrade finished in less than ten minutes as he got the system notification informing him about it. ''Check'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly checked the level 2 elemental spirit merger bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Elemental spirit merger (level 2). Effect:- 1) Can merge two elemental spirits into a single elemental spirit. The battle prowess of the newly formed elemental spirit will increase by 5 times for 10 minutes. 2) Can merge three elemental spirits into a single elemental spirit. The battle prowess of the newly formed elemental spirit will increase by 10 times for 5 minutes. Next upgrade:- 1000 elemental spirit merger bloodline points. Soon, theplete information about the bloodline appeared in front of him. ''As I expected, there are two effects.'' Ajax was not surprised by the two effects; however, what he was pleasantly surprised to see as he could now merge three elemental spirits. ''5 times and 10 times of their battle prowess. So, my elemental spirits could easily defeat the? king realm experts without much difficulty.'' After reading the effects of the bloodline, Ajax was pretty much satisfied because merging Volcanis and Ignis would instantly defeat a King realm expert not to mention, he could not merge three elemental spirits. So, Ajax was satisfied. ''I can go back to the training grounds to get more bloodline points to increase my abyssal beast god bloodline after one month.'' Ajax silently thought to himself about the training grounds as he wanted to go back to the training grounds as soon as possible. ''At the same time, it is not a bad idea to increase my other two bloodlines.'' Currently, all his bloodline was good and he didn''t want to neglect any one of them. So, in the future, he decided to focus more on the bloodline training grounds. ****** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month).

Once he upgraded his three bloodlines to the highest level, then there would be no one he had to fear in the future. Just with his cultivation pressure, he could kill his enemies and conquer the worlds with a single nce. ''Tomorrow, it''s a big day. I need to be in top condition to defeat as many King realm lions as possible.'' Since he had already upgraded his bloodline to level 2, he had nothing to do right now. Even though he could train for the night, Ajax didn''t want to be restless and mess up tomorrow. So, he decided to rest for the night. ..... In one of the many greater worlds that were controlled by Summoner''s group. "You are faster than I thought. Did you kill the one who killed my brother Master Red?" An old man in ck robes asked two middle-aged men in green and brown robes respectively. They were none other than Master Green and Master Brown from the summoner''s group who were sent by Master ck to avenge the death of Master Red in the Five elemental world. However, they were warned by Master Ren who showed mercy and let them go back. "Master ck, we didn''t kill him." Master Green shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. "Yes, Master ck. There is no way we can''t go against him." Master Brown supported Master Green''s words as he also had a bitter smile on his face. "Huh? Why is that? Is he that powerful?" Master ck frowned as he asked them. "Because he is the current leader of the universal summoner group." Master Green answered in a low voice as though he was fearful that someone might hear it. "What?" Master ck, who was sitting in the cross-legged position stood up from his ce with a shocked look on his face. "Yes, master. He said that he will not mind Master Red''s ignorance and let things go with our summoner''s group. So, we think it is better to forget about taking revenge on him." Master Brown nodded his head as he suggested something from his side. "You are right and you did the right thinging back instead of fighting him. Let''s keep it a secret among us." Master ck didn''t think much before agreeing to Master Brown''s suggestion because he knew it was better to be on the good side of the Universal group than the bad side. "Yes, Master ck." Both Master Green and Master Brown nodded their heads and one could see how relieved they were. Until now, they were fearing what kind of decision Master ck, the current leader of the Summoner''s group would take. If he decided to go against the Universal group, the chances of them winning is less. Even if they won, their losses would be great. However, now, they could heave a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, what they didn''t know was that currently, Master Ren was injured and he was by himself in the Five elemental world; otherwise, Master ck would have directly rushed to kill Master Ren. The thing is Master Ren had already known about it and so, he summoned his recently recovered elemental spirits to pose as the members of the universal group, making the Master Green and Master Brown rush out of the Five elemental world as soon as possible. "You can go back to your worlds and focus on the uingpetition between the groups. This time, my summoner''s group should enter the top 10 at any cost." Master ck was very serious when he was saying those words which signified how important thatpetition was for him. "Yes." Both Master Green and Master Brown nodded their heads as they left from that ce. ''I wonder what Ren is doing in the Five elemental world?'' Looking at the disappearing silhouettes of Master Green and Master Brown, Master ck silently thought in his head. Even though the Five elemental world was a special one, it was just a normal world and there were many better worlds than the Five elemental world; however, Master ck didn''t understand the reason for Master Ren''s appearance in the Five elemental world. ''Has he entered that world because of the three ancient artifacts of my summoner''s group?'' Master ck frowned; however, when he thought how rich the Universal group was, he rejected that idea and started thinking about it. "Whatever, if he really wants those artifacts, let them have it. Those artifacts were not worth going against the Universal group." The reason Master ck sent Master Red and his subordinates to the Five elemental world was because of those artifacts. So, with the sudden appearance of Master Ren, he dropped any ideas of going back to the Five elemental world. Soon, Master ck sat cross-legged as he started cultivating in a rich dark elemental essence ground. .... The next day morning, In the ghost fox tribe''s guest house Ajax walked out of the tribe. On his shoulder, the four-eyed ghost fox was proudly sitting because it convinced Ajax to bring it along with him. "Ghost, you need to cultivate that bestialw as soon as possible." Along the way, Ajax lectured the four-eyed ghost fox making Ghost shake his head. "Penta, stop following me." All of a sudden, Ajax stopped in his tracks as he asked the five elemental spirit beast that was secretly following him underground, to stop following him. "Rumble" As soon as he finished his words, the pentapus came out of the ground and waved its tentacles as though it was saying that it would alsoe with him. "Let ite along with you. It might help you in giving a good opinion by the Lions." Just as Ajax was trying to ask Pentapus to stop following him, he heard Master Ren''s words. "You are here, Master Ren." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked, "How is that possible?" "Did you forget that it was the guardian spirit beast of the Five elemental world? Even though it was still a child, once it became a King realm expert, everyone had to show it some respect." Master Ren exined the importance of the five elemental spirit beast. "I know that but I thought they would be angry if they got to know that I formed a contract with their guardian spirit beast." How could Ajax didn''t know about the Five elemental world? However, he felt it would only show his negatives to the lions in the Mountain lion woods. That''s the reason why he was not bringing it along with him. "Don''t worry. They will not think about it much. But if you show that you were able to form a contract with the five elemental spirit beasts, then they would listen to your words without my help." Master Ren exined how he could use the five elemental spirit beast to his advantage. "Really?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised when he heard Master Ren''s words and thought, ''Looks like I don''t have to use a favour from Master Ren.'' With histest revtion, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ****** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1114: Mountain Lion King

Chapter 1114: Mountain Lion King

Soon, Ajax, Master Ren, Ghost and the five elemental spirit beast entered the Mountain Lion woods. Mountain Lion Woods, as the name suggests, this entire region is filled with mountains and a lot of trees. Also, the essence of nature was a little purer than the other two regions of the five elemental world. ''Looks like this world is just like the Purple stone world with different purity levels of the essence of nature; however, there are no barriers between the regions.'' While checking out his surroundings, Ajax rted the Five elemental world with the Purple stone world. "The reason for such a purified essence of nature is because of some trees like them." As though Master Ren was able to guess what Ajax was thinking in his head, he exined about the purity difference of the essence of nature among the regions. ''Huh?'' Ajax curiously looked at the trees pointed by Master Ren. They looked just like any other trees; however, there was something about them that made them special. So, he walked towards the tree to touch it. ''What if I take a few of these trees and grow them in my inner world?'' This was the first thought in his head while moving towards those trees. Even though his inner world had much pure essence of nature, Ajax didn''t mind increasing it to the next level. "Don''t even think about it." Once again, Master Ren replied to Ajax''s thoughts as he continued, "Once you remove those trees from the ground, they will die and even if you are alive, they can''t live in another environment." "What?" Ajax was surprised with such a trait of the trees; however, he calmed himself and replied to Master Ren, "Who is thinking about shifting these trees?" "I am talking about myself. When I first learned about these trees, my first thought was to take them back to my home." Master Ren shrugged his hands as he said those words. "Who are you?" Just as they were having a conversation, they heard a deep voice from a distance and before they could look in that direction, somebody appeared in front of them. It was a human with a lion head wearing light-yellow coloured armour and had golden ws that caught Ajax''s eyes. "We are here to meet the King of this region." Ajax walked towards the humanoid lion and at the same time, the five elemental spirit beast also rushed towards Ajax and positioned itself in front of Ajax. ''A five elemental spirit beast?'' The humanoid lion looked at the five elemental spirit beast in front of them and raised his brows. "Can I know the reason?" With the appearance of the five elemental spirit beast, the humanoid lion''s angry look turned into an expressionless look as he asked the reason. "I want to have a deal with the King realm experts from the Mountain lion woods. As long as they like the deal, we will discuss more it; otherwise, I will just leave this region along with my friends." Ajax thought for a moment before exining the reason for his visit because he guessed that the humanoid would definitely allow him after his words. "Deal?" The humanoid raised his brows for a moment before nodding his head and said, "Follow me." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said that, the humanoid turned into a sh of yellow light as he ran in the same direction he came from. ''What?'' Ajax could barely see the humanoid lion and he knew without a doubt that he could not follow him at such a speed. ''If I can''t run as fast as him, I will fly much faster than his running.'' Nevertheless, he calmed down and with a thought, he summoned, "Alder,e out." ''Screech'' As soon as Ajax called the devourer eagle king, the king realm spirit beast came out of the inner world and released a loud screech that resounded in the entire Mountain lion woods. "Let''s go." Ajax and others jumped onto the devourer eagle king as the eagle followed the humanoid lion from the sky with the help of his strong eyesight. ''Swoosh'' As a king realm spirit beast with a bestial soul of ''Advanced eleration'', his speed was very fast even among the mid-level king realm experts. So, it didn''t take much time for Alder to catch up to the running humanoid lion. "Devourer eagle?" The humanoid lion saw the devourer eagle king in the sky as he raised his brows; however, he didn''t think much about it because he knew if Ajax and his friends did anything funny, they would be forever staying in the Mountain lion woods. "Roar" Soon, a loud lion roar resounded in the entire Mountain lion woods as Ajax saw a human flying in the sky with a golden halo around him. "Your majesty. I bought the master of the five elemental spirit beast here. He said he wanted to have some kind ofo deal with you." Seeing that middle-aged man in the sky, the humanoid lion who was guiding Ajax and others stopped in his tracks as he knelt on the ground while informing about Ajax and the reason for his arrival. "Huh?" The middle-aged man in the sky raised his brows as his eyesnded on the five elemental spirit beast before checking Ajax and others. His eyes stopped on Master Ren because he was unable to check his cultivation, making him keep an eye on Master. "Who is the master of the five elemental spirit beast?" Soon, the king of the mountain lion woods asked while looking at Master Ren. "I am." Ajax spoke with a calm look on his face. "A level 7 general realm cultivator? Haha" The middle-aged man floating in the air startedughing when he heard Ajax''s words before saying, "The five elemental spirit beast''s luck is very bad to get such a low-level master." "Low-level master?" Ajax was annoyed with the middle-aged man''s words because it was not his first time getting mocked for his low-cultivation realm. The middle-aged man was none other than the King of the Mountain lion woods with the cultivation of mid-level King realm cultivation. So, in front of him, Ajax was just a low-level ant who could be killed any time he wanted. "Are you mocking me?" Ajax seriously looked at the Lion King as he asked him. "So what if Iugh at you? Aren''t you just a level 7 general realm cultivator? Any one of my soldiers could kill you with a roar¡­.Haha." The lion kings once again startedughing at Ajax. "Good." Ajax was so angry in his heart as he thought about something to use it for his advantage. ''I knew these Mountain lions were arrogant and proud; however, I never imagined they would be this arrogant.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he looked at the lion king before saying, "Since you are saying I am weak and I could be killed by any of your soldiers, why don''t we check it out?" "Huh?" The lion king frowned when he heard Ajax''s words; however, before he could think about Ajax''s real intentions, he heard Ajax next words that made it impossible to resist the challenge. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1115: Setting rules for the challenge

"As long as any of your king-realm experts lost the fight against me, I will give a drop of blood essence of the divine dragon. What do you say?" Those were the words of Ajax to the Mountain lion king which tempted him. For a divine dragon, even the emperors are eyeing it. So, for a high-level re-cultivated spirit beast, of course, it would be tempting. "But, how do you make me believe that you have the blood essence of a divine dragon?" Nevertheless, ucus didn''t agree to Ajax''s challenge without seeing the goods. The thing is Mountain lions are just as proud as dragons. So, when Ajax challenged that he could defeat a King-realm mountain lion, the mountain lion king''s ego fell because Ajax was just a level 7 general realm cultivator. What''s more, his opponent would be a King-realm mountain lion who would be stronger than other spirit beasts in the same cultivation realm. Even if Ajax didn''t have the blood essence of a divine dragon, ucus would agree to Ajax''s challenge before teaching him a lesson. Nevertheless, the blood essence of the divine dragon is a tempting reward and he could obviously take it if Ajax was foolish enough to bet it. "Twilight,e out." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax summoned the peak rank 6 divine dragon from the inner world. "Roar" As usual, the moment he appeared in front of Ajax, the divine destructive twilight dragon roared at the sky that shook many onlooking lion tribesmen. ''What?'' ''He has a dragon as his contracted spirit beast?'' ''Idiot...look, it is not a normal dragon; instead, it is a divine dragon.'' ''What? Divine dragon?'' All the onlooking lion tribesmen were shocked by the appearance of the divine dragon in the sky. However, they looked at their King ucus to see what he was going to do. "Haha" As for King ucus, he startedughing looking at the divine dragon before saying to Ajax, "I thought you only had a drop of blood essence but you have a living divine dragon with you...Good." "Yeah. So, are you ready for the deal?" Ajax shrugged his hands as he asked the mountain lion king. "Of course. You said you can defeat a King realm Mountain lion, even without the item, I would have agreed to it. But, since you are very generous in giving a gift to get beaten up by lions men, I will ask him to retract their ws a little." Nodding his head, King ucus agreed to Ajax''s deal. In his view, only a fool would reject such a great deal. Moreover, in his view, he had already had the blood essence of the divine dragon in his pockets. "So, shall we start the challenge?" King ucus was eager toplete the challenge and consume the blood essence of the divine dragon. So, he urged Ajax regarding the challenge. "Wait...there is no hurry in it." However, how could Ajax start the challenge without exining all the rules? So, he asked King ucus to wait while he tried to exin the rules, "Let me finish the rules of the challenge." ''Damn it...what is his problem?'' King ucus was annoyed with Ajax''s words; however, he controlled his anger as he nodded his head. "I am not as powerful as you. So, I am not challenging you. Other than you, I am challenging all the King realm experts." Soon, Ajax started exining the rules of his challenge and the first thing he said was that the King of the Mountain lions would not be eligible for the challenge. "Go on." However, King ucus was not bothered about it because as long as his followers got the drop of the divine dragon''s blood essence, it woulde to his hands. So, he asked Ajax to continue speaking. "Since I am a summoner, I will use both Elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." After seeing the expression of King ucus, Ajax started about him being a summoner. "Huh?" King ucus frowned because he could clearly see the King realm devourer eagle right in front of his eyes and if it joined the fight, the chances of his followers winning the challenge would drastically decrease. ''What should I do?'' He could not openly say that he would not allow Ajax''s king realm contracted spirit beast to participate in the challenge to fight alongside Ajax because his proud nature wasing in the middle. ''Oh right!'' All of a sudden, King ucus thought of something that made him reveal a slight smile on his face as he replied to Ajax, "ording to our Mountain lion kingdom''s rules, it will not consider it a challenge if a summoner summons his contracted spirit beasts." King ucus used a rule about who knows whether it exists or not to his advantage. "Oh...okay." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "Can I at least use my elemental spirits or will you say there are some rules in your rule book that says I can''t use my elemental spirits also?" While saying that, Ajax had a mocking look on his face that irritated King ucus. "As a summoner, you can, of course, use your elemental spirits; however, the contracted spirit beasts are not as same as the elemental spirits for a summoner." Nevertheless, he controlled his anger for the sake of the divine dragon''s blood essence and the five elemental spirit beast because it would grow powerful in the future without a doubt. As for whether Ajax had a king realm elemental spirit or not, King ucius didn''t worry about it because he was sure about the most basic thing. And it is, an elemental spirit can''t enter the King realm unless their summoning master bes a Summoner King unless he is a heaven''s favoured son. Nevertheless, King ucus didn''t think Ajax was hiding a King realm elemental spirit in his spirit consciousness. "Good." Ajax had already expected that and he had enough confidence to defeat any low-level King realm mountain lions with his elemental spirits and his elemental spirit merger bloodline. As for the reason why he intentionally summoned the devourer eagle king for others to see it was King ucius would definitely use theme rule to renege his bet. So, he was just being careful by letting King ucus say that Ajax could use his elemental spirits without a problem. ''Now, I can use my elemental spirits without a problem.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief with King uscus''s words. "So, if you finish your words, let''s start the challenge." King ucus just wanted to finish the challenge and use the divine dragon''s blood essence to increase his strength. So, he continued to urge Ajax for the challenge. "Wait¡­.I said what I will give if I lose the challenge, then what about you? Shouldn''t you say what you will give in return? Otherwise, the total point of doing this will be for nothing." Ajax shook his head as he asked what odds King ucus would be putting for the challenge. "The loser of the challenge should swear absolute loyalty to me." Before King ucus could say anything, Ajax directly said what he wanted. ****** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month).

Chapter 1116: Defeated in a less than ten seconds

''Huh? Absolute loyalty?'' King ucus frowned for a moment when he heard Ajax''s words; however, thinking that Ajax was just a level 7 general realm cultivator, he didn''t think Ajax had any chance to win the bet. So, after looking at his King ring experts, King ucus nodded his head before saying, "In front of everyone present here, I am agreeing to all those conditions. If anyone has any objections, you can say it out loud and I will cancel the challenge." ''Huh?'' This time, it was Ajax who frowned hearing King ucus'' words as he didn''t hear such words from him. It was clearly visible that their mountain lion king was tempted by Ajax''s bet; however, he asked his followers because he was sure that everyone would agree with him. "As proud Mountain lions, how can we not ept a challenge?" "We are always ready for the challenge and stand by our word." As expected, all the mountain lions excitedly cheered as they looked down on Ajax a little too much, making Ajax shake his head. ''Just wait a few minutes. I will show you what I am truly capable of.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as looked at the onlooking lion tribesmen. "So, let''s start the challenge now. Who wants to go first?" Soon, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked looking at the King realm re-cultivated mountain lions except for King ucus. "Max, you fight him. Finish it in a move and don''t kill him." King ucus looked at his followers for a moment before selecting one of them and asked him to fight Ajax. At the same time, he asked his follower named Max not to kill Ajax during the fight. "Yes, your majesty." Soon, the humanoid lion who guided them here took a few steps forwards before nodding his head at King ucus. "Let''s see." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he jumped off the devourer eagle king andnded in front of the humanoid lion. "Are you sure you will swear your absolute loyalty to me if you lose the battle?" Before starting the fight, Ajax asked Max while stretching his body a little. "As a mountain lion, I will always keep my word. As long as you defeat me, I will swear my loyalty to you without a doubt." With full confidence in his lion face, Max replied to Ajax before saying, "Anyway, for that, you need to win. Let''s start the fight." Nevertheless, just like King ucus, Max didn''t think much about Ajax because of his low cultivation and directly rushed at Ajax without using his bestial soul. "Never underestimate someone." Seeing the mindlessly rushing humanoid mountain lion, Ajax shook his head before using ''Teleprot''. ''Swoosh'' Ajax disappeared from his ce and made Max stop in his tracks. Just as Max stopped, Ajax appeared behind him with the inheritance sword in his hands which he is currently holding against Max''s neck. Not only that, Ajax pressed the inheritance sword into Max''s neck slowly before asking, "So, what do you say now?" There was a slight smile on his face while asking that which made Max and all other onlooking mountain lions frown. "Max, don''t agree." "As a mountain lion, you should not admit defeat to a level 7 general realm human." "It is better to die rather than admitting defeat." Soon, all the mountain lions suggested Max not to admit defeat. "I admit defeat." However, Max didn''t follow their suggestion; instead, he directly admitted defeat. If Ajax wanted to kill Max, he would have already done it; however, everyone knew that it would make Ajax lose a follower. "What the hell?" "How did he admit defeat that easily?" "Max was such a coward fearing death. So, it is just a waste of time to discuss him." "Did Max agree to some bribe from the human to insult our Mountain lions?" Max admitting defeat made all the onlookers including King ucus angry. It took less than 10 seconds for the entire match between Ajax and Max before Max admitted the defeat. So, it naturally made all the proud mountain lions angry. Since it was Max, who brought them into the Kingdom, many onlookers silently thought Max was sold out. "Damn you...if you don''t care about death, why don''t youe forward and I will test your faith in Mountain lion rules?" Max was already annoyed with the weird rules of Ling Glucas and now, with the words of many onlookers, Max became furious as he shouted at the one who said Max was afraid of death. To his reply, no one came forward; however, they started whispering among themselves. "Everyone, keep quiet." All of a sudden, King ucus shouted at his lionsmen as he continued, "Ajax won the fight fair and square and even Max tried his best. So, we should not say such things." Even though he was furious with Max''s actions of admitting defeat, it would not look nice if he cancelled the challenge. "Master Ajax, I will swear my absolute loyalty to you and follow your orders without any hesitation except for going against the inhabitants from the Mountain lion woods." As for Max, he looked at King ucus for a moment before kneeling in front of Ajax and swore his loyalty to Ajax. Ding, Congrattions to the host for getting a King realm re-cultivated spirit beast as your follower. ''Ding, A lottery chance is added to your ount. ''Ding, Mission ''Gain followers'' ispleted; however, the host can still continue to keep this mission ongoing for the next six days. Just as Max swore his loyalty to Ajax, he received a series of system notifications making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Looks like the mountain lions always keep their word.'' Only now, Ajax understands why the mountain lions were arrogant and proud because those who kept their words always had their heads high. "So, are you going to challenge others? Or going back after winning the challenge by fluke?" While Ajax was having a positive opinion on the mountain lions, King ucus, the king of the mountain lions is enough to remove that positive opinion. Currently, he was fearing that Ajax would leave after gaining a follower. So, he intentionally tried to provoke Ajax and wanted to make his challenge once again. For him,pared to a couple of his followers, King ucus preferred to have the blood essence of the divine dragon. "Are you saying I won this challenge by luck?" Ajax scoffed at Ling ucus'' words and behaved like he had been provoked by ucus'' words. "Yes. Max didn''t even use his bestial soul. So, other than you winning this challenge by luck, then what is it?" King ucus scoffed at Ajax and deep down, he was feeling excited because as he expected Ajax had been provoked. So, he continued to provoke with the quote ''Hit the iron while it is still hot'' in his mind. "So be it." Ajax shook his head with a serious look on his face as he agreed to King cus'' words before saying, "Why don''t you send another one?" ****** Monthly target.

# Bonus chapters for Spacecraft (5/10) ording to the system mission, the more followers he gains, the smaller world cores he would get. So, why would he go back when he had the chance to get a few more followers and smaller world cores. "So, why don''t you send another one?" With that thought in his mind, Ajax angrily said to King ucus even though he was not really angry. If he readily agreed to the second challenge, King ucus would definitely feel something was wrong. So, he was trying his best in avoiding that suspicious. ''Even though they will not agree to my challenge if I repeatedly win, I should make them believe that they could not defeat me.'' While waiting for King ucus to send the second humanoid lion, Ajax started nning on how he could carry out more challenges. "Nova, go and fight." Soon, King ucus selected another one as he continued saying, "Don''t bother hiding your bestial soul and use your full strength." "Yes, your majesty." The humanoid lion named Nova nodded his head with a serious look on his face and without wasting any time, he summoned his bestial soul. ''Mountain god,e out.'' As soon as he summoned his bestial soul and transparent being just looked just like an elemental spirit appeared in front of Noval. However, it was not an elemental spirit; instead, it was Nova''s bestial soul that looked almost like him with some minor changes. "Give me the 3x defence boost." Nova ordered his bestial soul named Mountain god before rushing towards Ajax. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' Just like earlier, Ajax used to teleport to disappear from his ce and appeared behind Nova before pressing his inheritance sword against Nova''s neck. ''ng'' However, the inheritance sword which was boosted by his rank 5 sword dao was easily blocked by some kind of invisible defensiveyer. ''Oh. So, this is from the bestial soul.'' Ajax already knew Nova had used a ''3x defence boost''; however, he still used the same trick just to know exactly how strong Nova''s defence was after getting the boost from the bestial soul. "Haha...you think you can break my defence with your strength?" Noval scoffed at Ajax as he threw his paw at Ajax in order to severely injure him. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Looks like the defence is not as strong as I think it is.'' However, Ajax was fast enough to dodge the attack as he muttered to himself about the defence of the mountain lion. "Volcanis and Ignis, it is time for you to show up." Once he got a rough understanding of the humanoid mountain lion''s defence, Ajax didn''t hesitate in summoning his two powerful fire elemental spirits. ''Activate your elementalws, now.'' The moment they came out, Ajax had already given them orders to activate their elementalws which were at level 1, level 2 and level 3 respectively. Currently, Volcanis had two elementalws. One is level 3 and another one is level 1. As for Ignis, he had a level 2 elementalw ''Lightning fire''. ''Level 3 Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids'' Level 1 Celestial fire realm'' ''Level 2 Lightning fire.'' After receiving Ajax''s orders, they didn''t waste any time in activating their elementalws. ''Haha'' However, Nova startedughing when he saw Ajax''s two elemental spirits were using elementalws against a king realm expert with a defensive bestial soul. "It will kill your elemental spirits and let you know the difference between a King realm expert and an elite general realm expert." Stopping hisughing, Nova rushed towards Volcanis and Ignis with his enhanced ws that were shining with golden light. "Mountain splitting sword wave." However, Ajax stood in between his two elemental spirits as he released a powerful sword wave using his rank 5 sword dao. "It is of no use." Nova shed the iing sword wave with his ws as he continues to rush towards them. "Use your skills rted to elementalws, now." ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Ajax ordered the two elemental spirits before he activated his bloodline. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroids." "Celestial engulfer." "Annihtion." Nodding their heads, the two elemental spirits used their powerful skills. They were already very powerful, to begin with; however, with the three times boost from Ajax''s bloodline, they became even more terrifying, making Nova frown a little and stop in his tracks. ''Nova, be careful. Those attacks look powerful.'' King ucus hurriedly transmitted his voice to Nova as he didn''t want another one of his followers to lose the challenge as it would be a disgrace for the entire mountain lions to get defeated by a general realm human. ''I will take care of it, your majesty.'' However, Nova was confident that how could those elemental spirits cause damage to him, a mighty king realm mountain lion. Nevertheless, he was not careless and positioned himself in his ce and ready to face the iing attacks head-on. "Mountain god, do it, now." Once he settled in his position, he asked his bestial soul to do something and the bestial soul turned into a golden armour as he was attached to Nova. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' ''Boom'' Thousands of flying swords and asteroids rushed at Nova at an incredible speed andnded on the golden-armour Nova. Every time a sword or asteroidnded on Nova, there would be an explosion making all the onlooking humanoid lions shiver. ''What the hell?'' ''How can this human''s elemental spirits be so powerful?'' ''If their elementalws are at level 10, then they could easily defeat a king realm expert, right?'' ''Also, what if this human bes a King realm expert? Our King ucus will not be a match for him, right?'' ''How about we challenge him and be his followers too? Following such a genius from such a young age will definitely help us?'' ''Hey...keep quiet. If King ucus hears that, he will ughter you.'' All the onlookers were thinking how powerful Ajax would be in the future and there were even some who were thinking of bing Ajax''s followers by challenging Ajax and getting defeated in his hands. As for Nova, currently, he waspletely surrounded by smoke and no one knew how many injuries Nova had received from the earlier attack. However, they were sure that he was still alive. ''This human, he will be a lot more powerful in the future. Should I just kill him while I still have a chance?'' King ucus was thinking of the same thing as his followers; however, unlike them, he wanted to kill Ajax in order to remove future troubles. ''I will wait and see. I don''t want my followers to see that I didn''t keep my words. So, after getting the blood essence of the divine dragon, I will secretly kill this human and take theplete body of the divine dragon for myself.'' Soon, King ucus came to the conclusion that he would be killing Ajax after he got the blood essence of the divine dragon in the righteous way. "Haha" All of a sudden, from the smoke, a loudugh resounded as Nova walked out of the smoke with a loud smile on his face and without a single scratch on his body. ****** Monthly target.

Currently, Nova looked like he waspletely unharmed, making all the onlooking humanoid lions reveal a slight smile on their face. "Human, do you think it is enough to kill me?" Nova stopped hisughing as he scoffed at Ajax. "Of course not. That is the reason why I had a backup n ready." Ajax was not surprised at the unscathed Nova because when he saw the bestial soul of the humanoid lion, Ajax guessed they would excel in the defence. So, he was very sure that his two elemental spirits'' skills are not enough to defeat Nova. With a slight smile on his face, Ajax summoned, "Cerauno, it is your time to shine." ''Swoosh'' "I will definitely shine brightly, summoning the master." The lighting elemental spirit Cerauno appeared in front of Ajax and respectively nodded his head. ''What? He is a dual elemental summoner?'' King ucus and all the onlooking humanoid lions were shocked with the appearance of the lightning elemental spirits and looked at Ajax in a new light. ''No wonder, this human wanted to push his limits by challenging the King realm experts in our region.'' Everyone misunderstood Ajax''s challenge and nodded their heads as though they solved a mystery. "Level 3 Thunderw." "Skill enhancement." As for Cerauno, he activated his elementalw and at the same time, he used his skill enhancement before using the skill rted to the elementalw. "Destructive lightning spear, show your true power." A huge spear that waspletely covered in the lightning sparks appeared in front of Cerauno. Currently, there were three powerful boosts for that huge lightning spear. The first one was obviously the boost from Ajax''s bloodline that increases all the battle prowess of Ajax''s elemental spirits. The second was the boost from the elementalw. Third, it received a boost from skill enhancement. With all these three boosts, the huge lightning spear became very powerful. "Release it, now." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax casually released hundreds of small sword waves at Nova before asking his lightning elemental spirit to release the huge lightning spear at Nova. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' ''sh'' "Do you think these sword waves and that huge lightning spear will do anything to me?" However, Nova didn''t show any fear on his face as he continued speaking, "The two powerful skills from your two elemental spirit didn''t do anything to him, do you think this lightning spear will do anything?" "Why don''t we see it?" Ajax knew that Nova was just bragging about his defence because he was very sure that the earlier attacks were useless. Until he received Volcanis and Ignis''s attack, Nova was wearing a golden-coloured armour which was also his bestial soul. However, after the explosion, there was no golden armour. So, Ajax was sure that Nova''s bestial soul was injured and he had to summon it back into his spirit consciousness. "Thud" "I admit defeat." Just after destroying Ajax''s sword waves, Nova became tired and if the huge lightning spear had the same power as that of the earlier attacks, then it would be severely injured unless he survives the attack. So, after gritting his teeth, Nova fell to the ground and directly admitted defeat. "I knew it." "Master Ajax is very powerful." "There is nothing wrong in admitting defeat against such a genius young man." Unlike when Max admitted defeat where the onlooking humanoid lions mocked and scolded Max, no one said a single bad thing about Nova because in their eyes Ajax was a powerful summoner. Moreover, they think getting defeated in his hands was an opportunity to be his follower. ''What the hell? When did my followers be so weak?'' King ucus who was observing everything from the sky became furious when he saw that his second follower also admitted the fight before the fight could even end. ''Looks like I took this human bastard very lightly.'' Soon, his eyesnded on Ajax as his heart was burning with anger and thought of something. ''I will just send Brutus. He will not even listen to my words. Let''s see how this bastard defeats Brutus.'' With King ucus thinking about Brutus, for some reason, he was able to calm himself because, Brutus, as his name suggested, he was extremely brutal; however, at the same time, he was extremely loyal. "So, you know the rules, right?" On the ground, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief that he was able to defeat Nova without using his actual trump card. ''So, I will get one more follower for sure.'' It wasmon sense that King ucus would be sending his strongest follower and as long as Ajax defeated him, no one would challenge him because they would already guess that Ajax must havee here to have fun. However, what Ajax didn''t know was, all the onlookers were thinking that he came to push his limits. Nevertheless, he waited for Nova to acknowledge him as Master. "Master." Nova didn''t feel embarrassed to call Ajax his master because Ajax was stronger than him. Moreover, he also admitted defeat. So, ording to rules, he should be a loyal follower of Ajax. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining another King realm follower. A lottery chance is added to the host''s ount. ''Ding, Do you want finish the mission ''Gain some followers''? Soon, the system informed that there was nothing wrong with Nova bing his follower. So, he was very happy and silently said ''No'' to continue the mission. "Good. Go and stand beside Max." Ajax nodded his head and asked Nova to stand beside Max before looking at King ucus in the air. "Now, do you agree that I am powerful enough to defeat your followers?" Ajax mocked King ucus because the other party was not giving him respect. So, even though he didn''t n on stopping the challenge, he mocked King ucus because he was sure that he would send another one of his followers. "Nova is just a pathetic mountain lion who admits defeat easily." As Ajax expected, for a mountain lion, which was proud and arrogant, King ucus was shameless. "Huh?" Ajax continued his act as he frowned at King ucus'' words before asking, "So, what are you trying to say?" "What am I trying to say? I will send another one of my followers. As long as you defeat him, you will not only get a loyal and powerful follower but I will even give you my sword which is a legend grade weapon." King ucus thought that Ajax would skip the challenge and he could not force Ajax to challenge Brutus when all the onlooking mountain lions were having a positive opinion on Ajax. So, he could only use his sword as bait for Ajax to continue his challenge. "Really?" Ajax revealed a shocked look which was once again an act to make King ucus believe that he was only challenging for the sake of the sword. However, in truth, as long as he develops his grey dwarf world, he would not have to worry about weapons as he would be in the position to give away the refined weapons to others.

Chapter 1119: Ajax versus Brutus

"Brutus, go and fight." Without wasting any time, King ucus asked his strongest follower to go and fight Ajax. He was very sure that no matter how many tricks Ajax had under his sleeve, Brutus was going to defeat Ajax. So, he dared to wager his legend grade sword. "I will fight him; however, I don''t care whether he lives or dies. Don''t ask me to restrain myself while fighting him." Soon, a three-meter high humanoid lion who had his muscles bulged under his strong golden armour walked out from the back of the crowd and said those words to King ucus. Compared to others, his respect towards King ucus was less. Moreover, until now, he didn''t even bother to watch the fights between Ajax and the humanoid lions because in his opinion, ''Challenges are meant to kill others.'' However, here, they were fooling around using the word ''Challenge''. So, he didn''t have the slightest interest in their fights. "You can fight as you like." King ucus knew that he could not control this strongest follower of his and gave him permission to use full power. "Good" Brutus revealed an evil look on his face while looking at Ajax when he got the confirmation from King ucus and nodded his head. "Brutus, before you start fighting, let me have a few words with the young human." In the next second, King ucus thought of something and hurriedly stopped Brutus and looking at Ajax, he asked, "Can you please summon your dragon out of your spirit consciousness?" If Ajax was killed in the challenge, then the divine dragon inside his body would also be killed along with him and King ucus didn''t want that. So, he asked Ajax to summon it. "Sure." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head and called out the divine dragon. "Roar" "Just watch the fight and don''t destroy anything." Ajax said a few words to the dragon before looking at the muscr humanoid lion. "Human, if you want to live, then admit defeat. Once we start fighting, only of us will live." Brutus didn''t start the fight as he informed Ajax that he could still live as long as he admits defeat. "I can say the same to you." Even though Ajax sounded arrogant, he was confident enough to defeat Brutus. If the other party was unwilling to admit defeat, all he could do was to kill him. And Ajax didn''t want to kill anyone because he wanted living followers. "Good then. Let''s see who will win." ''Fire mountain god, transform.'' As soon as he finished his words Brutus didn''t waste any time in summoning his bestial soul which looked just like him; however, it was transparent and looked like an elemental spirit. Compared to Nova''s bestial soul, Brutus'' bestial soul was a little different before there was a red-coloured ne around the soul. ''Swoosh'' As soon Brutus'' bestial soul appeared in front of him, it transformed into a reddish golden-coloured armour before attaching to Brutus. "Die" Once he readied himself, Brutus appeared in front of his two fire elemental spirits before cleaving at them with his sharp golden w. ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline, activate.'' Ajax was already expecting Brutus to be powerful and just before Brutus'' wsnded on them, Ajax hurriedly activated his second bloodline, the Elemental spirit merger. ''Boom'' Soon, a huge explosion happened between Volcanis and Ignis which sted Brutus away as they merged into a single entity. "Cerauno, let''s merge." Even though Brutus was sted away, Ajax knew it was not enough to injure him, not to mention killing him. So, he ordered the lightning spirit to activate his general realm skill ''Merge''. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, another explosion urred as Ajax and Ceruauno merged into a single entity. After merging, the new entity mostly had Ajax''s features except for the fact his eyes were glowing with lightning sparks and his entire body was covered in lightning shes that were moving like angry snakes around. ''Woah¡­.so cool.'' ''Not only his elemental spirits could merge with one another but even he could merge with them.'' ''If only Mountain lions like us have the talent to be summoners, how nice would it be?'' Seeing the scenes in front of them, many onlookers started idolizing Ajax. At the same time, they were waiting to see the fight between Brutus and Ajax. Since Brutus was second to King ucus, they were eagerly waiting for the next few minutes as to where the fight between them would go. ''Ding, The host triggered the first effect of the Elemental spirit merger bloodline. ''Ding, The Vol-gnis''s battle prowess will be boosted by five times for the next 10 minutes. Note:- The host can still trigger the second effect of the bloodline. As for Ajax, he received the system notifications which he didn''t bother to check and rushed at Brutus by not giving him any chance to attack. "Skill enhancement" "Weapon formation" "Weapon enchantment" "Advanced Spatial des" In the merged form, Ajax could use his skills and Cerauno''s skills. He used the Skill enhancement which increases all his skill levels by one and released them at the Brutus who just stood up. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroid." "Celestial engulfer" "Anhiliation" On the other side, Vol-gnis also started using their powerful skills at Brutus. Vol-gnis not only got the boost from the elemental spirit merger bloodline but the Abyssal beast god bloodline is still in activation. So, overall, their attacks were so powerful that even King ucus felt a slight shiver in the back of his neck before thinking, ''I have to kill him at any cost; otherwise, he will conquer my Mountain lion woods sooner orter.'' Until now, he was just having the thoughts to kill Ajax; however, now, he was adamant on killing Ajax at any cost. However, he would be not doing it openly as it would make his followers lose their faith in him and might go against him in the future because of his today''s actions. "Mighty lightning spear, attack" Ajax was not taking any chance as he summoned a huge lightning spear before throwing it at Brutus. Brutus waspletely helpless against Ajax and his merged elemental spirits. He was unable to stand on his feet properly before he would be knocked down by their attacks. The process continued and no matter how many times they used their powerful skills to knock out Brutus, he would stand up and reveal an eerie smile on his face. ''Ding, The abyssal beast god''s bloodline is on cooldown now. Soon, he got the system notification which he didn''t want to hear; however, he can''t do anything about it. "If your attacks have only this much power, then I am sorry to say that you will be dying here today." Even after so many attacks, Brutus''s armour only had some scratches and it would still take a long time if Ajax wanted to destroy it with his attacks. What''s more, one of his bloodlines is also on cooldown. "Sure" Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t lose motivation as he still hadn''t used his main trump card. So, he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. ''It''s time to use the final trump card for the challenge.'' ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1120: Mini Mission

''It''s time to use the final trump card for the challenge.'' Ajax had been holding back his final trump card for a moment like this. Actually, Ajax wanted to try his best in defeating Brutus with just the first effect of the elemental spirit merger bloodline and him merging with the Cerauno backed with the abyssal beast god bloodline. However, looking at how strong Brutus was, Ajax didn''t want to waste his time. In his current situation, time is everything. If he wasted more time, the first effect of the elemental spirit merger bloodline will disappear, the elementalws of his merged elemental spirits will also disappear. So, Ajax decided to finish the challenge even if it means killing Brutus. ''Necros,e out.'' First, he summoned the dark elemental spirit out of the inner world. ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline''s second effect, activate.'' In the next second, without wasting any more time, he directly activated the powerful effect that will increase the battle prowess of the merged elemental spirit by 10 times for a time period of 5 minutes. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' With a huge explosion, Necros merged with the already merged Volcanis and Ignis. ''Ding, The second effect of the elemental spirit merger''s second effect is triggered. ''Ding, The merged entity will have all the skills and the battle prowess increased to 10 times the strongest elemental spirit among three for a time period of two minutes. Soon, Ajax got the system notifications in his head that made him reveal a slight smile. ''What?'' ''The three elemental spirits can merge?'' ''Hey did you notice, he had a lightning elemental spirit, fire elemental spirits and a dark elemental spirit? So, that means, he is a triple elemental summoner, right?'' ''Yeah. It is even rare in the? greater worlds to see a triple elemental summoner; however, we are seeing him in the five elemental world.'' ''Looks like Max and Nova did the right thing by epting defeat and bing that human''s follower.'' ''With your strength, that human will not look at you for a second much less epting you as his follower. Dream on.'' ''You are the one to mock me with your low cultivation level.'' Today, the mountain lions were having many shocks and surprises with Ajax''s every move. "Scoff" As for Brutus, he scoffed at Ajax and stretched his body a little. ''Aqua dragon bloodline, activate.'' However, Ajax didn''t stop enhancing his strength as he activated his recently gained and upgraded level 2 bloodline. ''Ding, The host activated the level 2 aqua dragon bloodline. All his battle prowess will be increased by 10 times for the next two minutes. "I guess, two minutes is more than enough to defeat this muscr mountain lion." Looking at the humanoid mountain lion, Ajax revealed an excited smile because currently, he was feeling that I could conquer anything in this form. "Necros, summon your undead army, merge them before dispersing them." As soon as he finished his words, Necros, who was currently merged with Volcanis and Ignis followed Ajax''s words. ''Swoosh'' ''Merge'' ''Disperse'' Once the huge undead warrior disappeared, the merged entity of three elemental spirits started shining with a ck glow. "Let''s finish this." Ajax knew what the ck glow was and it was the temporary invincible buff of Necros which was applicable for the entire merged entity. Since no physical attacks or energy attacks could deal damage to the merged entity for the next five minutes, Ajax used it as his shield as he used the powerful skills. Not only him, even Volcanis and Ignis in the merged entity started activating their powerful skills to attack Brutus. "Aargh" Before a single minute could evenplete, Brutus could not take thebined attack of Merged Ajax and Merged elemental spirits as he finally fell to the ground. "So, do you admit defeat?" Ajax knew it was just a waste of time asking Brutus about it; however, he still asked as he didn''t want any regrets for not giving a chance to Brutus. "I am not going to admit it. You have to kill me to be dered the winner." Brutus''s body waspletely covered in injuries; however, he still had a smile on his face as he replied to Ajax. ''I know.'' Ajax shook his head before saying, "Since you want to die that badly, I will send you on your way." With that thought in his mind, Ajax summoned a huge lightning spear. ''Ding, A connected mission to ''Gain the followers'' mission is generated in the system. Please check. Just when Ajax was about to kill Brutus, he received a system notification that made him raise his brows. ''Check'' Since the mission was generated just when he was about to kill Brutus, Ajax felt it must be rted to him. So, he didn''t kill; instead, he opened the quest tab to check the newly generated mission. ''Ding, Mini Mission:- Convince the stubborn humanoid mountain lion to be your follower. Mission reward:- The system will double the reward for making Brutus be your follower or if the host is lucky, he will gain a normal world''s world core. More information:- As a powerful summoner, you need to convince anyone to be your follower. Be it an elemental spirit, spirit beast or a re-cultivated spirit beast or a human. ''Huh? I have to make him my follower? Double the reward?'' Initially, Ajax frowned; however, when he saw the system reward, he felt he could give it a try and if he still didn''t make Brutus submit to him, he could always kill him as Brutus was severely injured. ''But, what should I do?'' Ajax started thinking about what he had to do to make a stubborn mountain lion-like Brutus ept him as his master. If the mountain lions are stubborn, it is hard to change them until death. That''s the reason why Ajax didn''t bother to waste his breath on convincing Brutus earlier. However, things have changed and he had a generous reward if hepleted this mission. ''Adding the two smaller world''s world cores that I already gained from making Max and Nova as my followers, with the two more world cores I can enter the elite general realm without a problem.'' ''Once I enter the elite general realm, I can start cultivating a cultivator''sw. Overall, I will be bing very powerful.'' Even though the mission was a little hard, Ajax decided to give it a try and as long as hepletes the mission, everything will be good for him. ''Damn it¡­even Brutus can''t win against..argh.'' King ucus was so angry that he just wanted to kill Ajax right now without any care; however, he controlled it and said, "Don''t bother wasting your time on convincing Brutus to admit defeat...he will prefer to die rather than admitting defeat." "Is that true?" Ajax looked at King ucus in the sky and scoffed at him before asking Brutus who was lying on the ground. "Yes. Just kill me." Brutus scoffed at Ajax without any fear in his eyes. ''Damn it...he is really not fearing death.'' Ajax cursed at Brutus'' stubbornness; however, he continued thinking for a few moments before getting an idea. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1121: True Mountain Lion

After thinking for a few moments, Ajax found a way to convince Brutus to be his follower. ''I hope it works.'' Ajax was notpletely sure about his idea; however, at the same time, he was notpletely hopeless about it. ''Even if it doesn''t work, I will just have to be content with the two smaller world''s world cores.'' Nevertheless, Ajax thought to be content with what he had already gained. "Are you really a mountain lion?" Once Ajax prepared his mind with the oue of his method of convincing the mountain lion named Brutus, he asked him a question. "I am the true mountain lion here. Not a single one here is worthy to be called a true mountain lion." While saying that, Brutus scoffed at all the onlooking mountain lions including King ucus. That''s right! He even scoffed at King ucus making Ajax a little bit surprised. ''Looks like I understood why Brutus didn''t respect King ucus earlier.'' Finally, Ajax revealed a slight smile when he understood what Brutus'' problem was. ording to what he knew about a mountain lion, they were ''proud'', ''never go back on their words'', ''Talk straight to the face''. However, Ajax had already noticed King ucus''s behaviour and knew he was extremely cunning, unlike the true mountain lions. As for the onlooking mountain lions, they treasured their lives over death. "So, I have a deal for you." Once he understood Brutus'' problem, Ajax felt the chances ofo his idea of making Brutus his follower increased by a huge percent. So, Ajax started his idea. "Just kill me. This world is not a ce for a true mountain lion like me. At least, in this way, I can peacefully close my eyes as if I died in a challenge." However, Brutus didn''t ask about the deal as he just asked Ajax to kill him. "Sigh...I thought you are a true mountain lion; however, you are just lke others." Ajax shook his head while saying those words. "What did you say?" Brutus became angry as he tried his best to stand up on his legs and looked at Ajax with blood-red eyes. "You are saying they are all not true mountain lions and iming yourself that you are a true mountain lion. So, what did you do for the mountain lion''s race?" "Have you ever thought of changing these mountain lions to be the true mountain lion?" "If so, how many times did you try and how long have you tried?" Ajax asked many questions in a row that not only made Brutus but all the onlooking mountain lions think. ''Have I ever tried to do something to change me?'' ''No...I only med others saying that they are not true mountain lions.'' ''Then, what about me?'' Soon, Brutus fell into one thought after another that made him fall to the ground as he still could not stand on his legs properly with all those injuries. ''What the hell is he trying to do?'' From the sky, King ucus was looking at Ajax''s actions; however, he was not as sharp as he thought he was. So, he didn''t understand what Ajax was trying to do. ''But, why do I feel it is definitely not good for me?'' King ucus was having a bad feeling when he saw Brutus was thinking about something for the first time in his life. Even though he felt something was not right, King ucus didn''t know what it was. So, all he could do right now was to watch Brutus and Ajax. "I know Mountain Lions are not good with their heads. So, I have a deal for you." Soon, Ajax felt it was the right time to speak and said what he wanted to say. "Huh?" With Ajax''s words, Brutus came out of his thoughts and raised his brows; however, he didn''t ask about the deal; instead, he looked at Ajax for a few moments. ''What is this human thinking?'' He started thinking about some of the questions; however, he was unable to find any answers. So, he came to a conclusion, ''I think, there is no harm in hearing about the deal, right?'' With that thought in his head, Brutus replied, "Go ahead and tell me what the deal is." "I will guide you in bing a true mountain lion and I will also help you in spreading your race''s name to the other worlds." ''Th..this is..'' Brutus felt there would be some kind of loophole in the deal. So, he didn''t want to agree to the deal just because of a few starting words and continued to listen to Ajax''s words. "Even greater world will speak of you, ''The Mountain lions'' in the future as a proud race." However, by the time Ajax finished his words, Brutus nearly agreed to the deal without asking what Ajax would gain from all this. Nevertheless, he controlled his urge to ept the deal. Because until now, Brutus wanted his race to raise his fame and he was not satisfied with the current mountain lions because from the ancient records, he learned a lot. So, he wanted to change that. With that determination, he worked hard in his cultivation and became the youngest King realm cultivator of the mountain lions in the new generation. However, amidst his cultivation journey, somewhere in the middle, he lost focus and started ming everyone for the current state of mountain lions. But now, with Ajax''s words, his younger self urged him to agree to Ajax''s deal; however, his older self was stopping him and warned him not to believe anyone. "So, in return, what do you want?" Soon, Brutus asked Ajax with a serious look on his face. "What do I want?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face before saying, "Because I want a true mountain lion as a follower." He was direct with his words and didn''t beat around the bush. "However, you can not agree to the deal if you don''t want to. The rise of the mountain lion''s race is all in your hands." Before Brutus could say anything Ajax had already replied to Brutus and he even transmitted his voice into Brutus'' ear, ''Do you really think your King ucus could make what I promised to happen?'' "Think about it clearly." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax summoned back his elemental spirits as he jumped onto the back of the devourer eagle king''s back. ''I hope he takes the bait.'' Even though Ajax felt like he was trying to bait Brutus, he felt he had to do it to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. Nevertheless, as long as Brutus agreed to be his follower, Ajax would be more than willing to help him. ''What should I do, father?'' Initially, when he heard that he had to be Ajax''s follower for Ajax to help him, Brutus thought to directly reject the deal. However, when Ajax said about King ucus, Brutus felt what Ajax had said about King ucus was true. He even thought about trying to achieve that feat on his own; however, he knew with his thinking, it was impossible. So, he closed his eyes and thought about his father. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1122: [Bonus Chapter]King Versus Subordinates

"I have had enough. Just leave your dragon behind and get out of this region." All of a sudden, King ucus said to Ajax in a deep voice. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows and asked King ucus with a calm look on his face, "And why is that?" He was not surprised by the sudden change in the behaviour of King ucus; however, he didn''t expect that ucus would figure out what he was trying to do so soon. "Because I said so." As soon as he finished his words, King ucus looked at his followers and ordered, "What are you looking at? Go and kill him." "But, why, your majesty?" However, not a single King realm mountain lion moved from their ces as they asked King ucus about it. Until now, Ajax didn''t do anything wrong and everything was going as they discussed earlier. So, as the mountain lions, of course, they didn''t want to attack Ajax without a particr reason. "Because I am ordering you to do it and I am also your bloody king. Did you all forget that?" King ucus didn''t expect his own followers to not follow his orders and looked with an angry look, he shouted at them. ''Tap'' ''Tap'' However, no one except Brutus moved from their ces. Brutus dragged his severely injured body towards Ajax and stood right in front of the devourer eagle king before saying, "You have to go through me to attack my master." His words were cold as he surveyed his surroundings. ''What?'' All the onlookers were shocked by Brutus'' words as they looked at Ajax in a new light. Because, until now, Brutus didn''t even bother to call King ucus ''Master''; however, now, they heard him call Ajax ''Master''. ''What the hell? How did Brutus betray me?'' King ucus was shocked when he saw Brutus standing in front of Ajax''s contracted spirit beast to protect him even when he was severely injured. He had never expected Brutus to be the one to betray him because he had many qualities of a mountain lion and a true mountain lion doesn''t like to be a follower of someone from the other race. ''Looks like Brutus is not the true mountain lion either.'' Soon, King ucus scoffed at Brutus as he shouted, "Everyone, kill those three traitors before killing that human." Since the three of his King realm followers had be Ajax''s followers, he could only kill them to avoid future troubles. However, not a single one moved forward to kill Brutus, Max and Nova. "What are you saying? Why should we kill our own kind?" "Since you are the one who asked them to fight Ajax, then why are you ming them?" "You are the one we need to kill and not them." Soon, hundreds of king realm mountain lions moved towards King ucus as they surrounded him to stop him from escaping. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully gaining a new follower. ''Ding, The ''Mini mission'' ispleted. The final reward will be sent to the host along with the rewards from the main mission. As for Ajax, he got the two system notifications, making him reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Finally, the mini-mission is done. I wonder what will happen to the main mission.'' Looking at the hundred king realm mountain lions around King ucus, Ajax silently thought in his head. "What are you doing?" "A true mountain lion should not kill other mountain lions." Even though King ucus was a mid-level king realm cultivator, he was nothing in front of 100 low-level king realm mountain lions. So, all King ucus could do was try his best in convincing at least some of them to be on his side. "Who said you are a mountain lion?" ''sh'' "Do you really think that we didn''t know how selfish you are when ites to the cultivation resources?" ''sh'' "Die" ''sh'' The hundred mountain lions flying in the sky attacked King ucus one after another while letting out their frustration which they stored in their hearts for a while. Soon, a bloody battle happened in the sky between one mid-level king realm expert versus 100 low-level king realm experts. "Kid...you are one hell of a kid. Do you know that?" Master Ren, who was beside Ajax said to Ajax with a slight smile on his face while watching the battle between a king and his subordinates. "You should never take everything for granted just because you are a king." Ajax shook his head as he continued, "He used the mountain lion''s race to be their king. At the same time, the same rules destroyed him." "Even though you are young, you know a lot of stuff, kid. I wonder who taught you all these things and how to talk your way through others?" Master Ren was surprised by Ajax''s words and when he thought about how Ajax knew a lot of things, he asked about his master. "There is an old man who taught me many stories; however, he refused to meet him and asked me to be a King realm cultivator." Ajax thought about the scroll from the Elder Boron and shook his head as he replied to Master Ren. "Old man?" Master Ren raised his eyebrows and wanted to see him; however, Ajax didn''t show much interest in talking about the old man. So, Master Ren didn''t ask Ajax about it. ''Aargh'' ''How did I end up in this situation?'' On the other hand, King ucus waspletely covered in injuries as he thought about the reason for his current situation. "It''s all because of you. If you hadn''t appeared in this region, these bastards would have remained like ves." "Since I will be dying today, I will bring him with me to the otherworld." As King ucus was thinking about Ajax, he was getting more and more agitated as he used his final strength to rush towards Ajax. "Gulp" However, before he could reach Ajax, the mighty King ucus was swallowed by the devourer eagle king in a single gulp. ''Devour'' As soon as he swallowed King ucus, the devourer eagle king used his signature skill to absorb the mountain lionpletely. "Looks like Alder got a good meal for himself." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he said those words; however, he regretted saying those words because the divine dragon was looking at Ajax with an angry look. ''Don''t worry, I will let you have three King realm experts when we invade another world. What do you say?'' Nevertheless, there is no medicine for regret in the world. So, he could only try his best in pacifying it by saying he would give more king realm experts for the divine dragon to eat. ''Roar'' However, the dragon didn''t agree to his deal as it angrily roared at him. ''5?'' ''Roar'' ''10 and that''s final.'' Finally, the deal between Ajax and the divine dragon settled at 10 king realm experts for the dragon to consume. ''With 10 corpses of the king realm experts, I hope he gains something.'' Ajax shook his head as he looked at the hundred king realm mountain lions standing in front of him. ****** KingRig, thanks for the DRAGON. ***** Monthly target.

With the death of King ucus, there is no king for the Mountain lion woods and Ajax was waiting for something from the King realm cultivators. So, he didn''t say anything and just waited while listening to the system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast killed a mid-level King realm cultivator. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 spirit points. ''Only spirit points?'' Ajax was disappointed with the reward for killing a mid-level king realm; however, he shook his head as killing King ucus was not in his initial n. ''Since theplete body is devoured by Alder, I hope his cultivation increases.'' If he had the body of King ucus, he would have refined it using the Arcance spirit turtle; however, the devourer eagle king swallowed theplete body as though the divine dragon beside him would ask for a share. "Brother Brutus, why don''t you be the King of Mountain lion woods?" All of a sudden, one of the King realm mountain lions asked Brutus to be their King. "Me?" Brutus raised his brows as he shook his head before saying,? "Right now, I am not eligible to be your king as I already epted someone as my master. I have to follow him and try my best to raise the face of our mountain lion race." It was the basic rule of the mountain lion race that the king of the mountain should be his own master. If there was something, he could choose to ally with other forces; however, epting others is not eptable. "Even though you be someone''s follower, other than you, there is no one who is more qualified than you to be our King." "That''s right, brother Brutus. Please be our King and guide the mountain lions to glory." "I agree with that decision." "Me too." Soon, one after another mountain lions showed their support to Brutus in bing the King of the mountain lion woods. "Th...this is..." Brutus didn''t know what he had to do as he looked at Ajax before asking for a suggestion. For the first time in his life, Brutus felt like taking the suggestions from Ajax and that''s the reason why he became Ajax''s follower. "Regarding this, I will not say anything. It is your race and you have to be responsible for whatever decision you make." However, Ajax didn''t give any suggestions at the start; however, he thought of something before saying, "However, it will be a good thing for you to be the King because everyone will listen to you unless you go down the same path as your previous king." After saying that, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''I think all these king realm mountain lions are adamant on making Brutus their King. I guess I will not ask anyone to be my follower.'' In the next second, Ajax thought about his mission ''Gain the followers'' and looking at how serious the mountain lions were, he didn''t want to change their beliefs by asking them to be his followers. If he did that, he would lose the loyalty of Brutus who can single-handedly control all the mountain lions once he bes their King. So, Ajax concluded the mission and waited for the four smaller world''s word cores. ''Ding, The host terminated the mission. ''Ding, Mission status:- Completed. Mission reward:- Smaller world''s world cores x 4. ''Ding, Detected the smaller world''s world cores in the host''s inventory. Do you want to use them? Just as he concluded the mission, his head was filled with a series of system notifications. ''Finally, I can enter the level 1 elite general realm cultivator.'' Even though he already knew about the reward, once he received them into his inventory, Ajax could not help but think of using them immediately. ''No. I have to be careful.'' However, he controlled his urge to use them because he didn''t want Master Ren to sense the world cores on him. So, he didn''t dare to use them. ''Once I go back to my grey dwarf world, I will use them before starting my conquering n.'' So, he decided to use them after going back to the grey dwarf world which he would be going to as soon as he wrapped the things in the mountain lion woods. In the grey dwarf world, he was the emperor and no one would know about his secret of using the world cores to increase his cultivation. ''This mission saved a lot of time and effort.'' Ajax was d that he got this mission and waited for Brutus to make the decision whether he wanted to be the King of the Mountain lion woods or not? "Fine...I will be the King of mountain lion woods from now on and I hope let''s change the way others look at the current mountain lions to the mountain lions of the past." Finally, Brutus agreed to the request of the mountain lion to be the King of the mountain lions. "Excellent." "Thank you for not abandoning us, your majesty." "We will do as you say and raise the mountain lion race to glory." Soon, all the mountain lions including the King realm experts and normal spirit beasts, everyone kneeled on the ground as they replied to Brutus respectfully. "However, I need to say something before that." Brutus nodded his head at the mountain lions as he continued saying, "If I find out that many of you intentionally do the things or act out of our True Mountain lion''s rules, the punishment will be very severe." Since Brutus was only bing the King of the mountain lion woods in order to change the corrupted mountain lions into true mountain lions. So, the punishment should also be severe to turn everyone into a true mountain lion. "Yes, your majesty." Everyone nodded their heads as they already knew how brutal Brutus could be; however, after listening to Ajax and Brutus''s conversation earlier, they felt they needed strict rules. "So, Brutus, I will give you the first task for you to start the path of the true mountain lion." Once everyone unanimously made Brutus their King, Ajax told Brutus in front of everyone. Ajax wanted everyone to listen to his words. So, he continued, "After you recover your injuries, select a few young re-cultivated or intelligent mountain lions and send them to the two regions, Shixato wilds and Western foxnds. Let them challenge the young geniuses from those regions. If they lose, I don''t think I have to say what they should do, right?" Since Ajax promised Brutus to bring back the mountain lion''s race''s past glory, he gave the first task. "Will the higher up of the two regions agree to that?" Brutus asked with some concern on his lion''s face. Previously, King ucus insulted all the higher up of the two regions. So, Brutus felt things might not go as they wanted. "Don''t worry about it. I will order them before leaving this world." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as though it was a small task for him, making Brutus and others reveal a surprised look on their faces. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1124: Protector Castle

Chapter 1124: Protector Castle

In the grey dwarf world. ''System, I want to use the smaller world''s world cores now.'' In a huge castle that was specially built by the grey dwarves for their Protector, Ajax was currently sitting in the main hall as he ordered the system. ''Ding, The smaller world''s world cores are detected in the host''s inventory. Starting the process now. Please wait and endure the pain if any. Soon, he got the reply from the system that made him close his eyes as he felt the mysterious energy filled his body from the small golden core. ''There is no pain.'' Ajax was a little surprised when he didn''t feel any pain from increasing his cultivation this time because he felt some pain previously when he increased his cultivation using the smaller world''s world core. After settling the thing in the Mountain lion woods, Ajax gave a few more orders to the tribe leaders from the two regions under his control. As soon as he finished that, he didn''t waste any time entering the grey dwarf world as he was excited to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. Once he entered the grey dwarf world, he summoned his two dwarf followers along with the dwarf advisor before handing out the space rings that contained the spirit beast meat. After that, he found out that the grey dwarves'' build a huge castle for him while he was gone and he was shocked with the working efficiency of the dwarves to build a magnificent castle in such a short time. Nevertheless, he didn''t waste much time as he praised them a little before entering the castle to look for a ce to settle before starting his cultivation. Currently, Ajax waspletely covered with mysterious golden energy as it entered into his body; however, the energy consumed by Ajax was always reced by something else. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation is increased to level 8 general realm. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation is¡­ ''Ding, The host''s cultivation is increased to level 10 general realm. Soon, Ajax received three system notifications in his head notifying him regarding his cultivation; however, Ajax frowned because he still had to get another notification as he still had one smaller world''s world core left with him. ''Ding, Detected an additional smaller world''s world core; however, the host can either choose to break into the elite general realm or collect a normal world''s world core to gain an additional official elemental spirit slot. ''What?'' Even though he received a system notification, Ajax was not expecting that system notification and he was surprised for a moment. ''I already have an extra official elemental spirit slot and if I get another official element, not only would I get an official skill but an additional force to rely on.'' In things like these, Ajax didn''t have to think much before choosing what he needed the most. So, of course, he chose to wait for a normal world core. Since he would be immortal in the grey dwarf world, Ajax felt it would not make much difference even if he broke through to the level 1 elite general realm. At least, that''s what he thought to convince himself before opening his eyes and standing up from the ground. ''I feel powerful yet again.'' With the increase of three minor levels in the general realm, Ajax felt he would directly kill a peak elite general realm cultivator without using any of his trumps. ''If he has a cultivator''s or elemental soul of level 1, I can still kill him; however, if he has above level 2w, then I could only rely on the aqua dragon''s bloodline along with elemental spirit merger''s bloodline.'' Every time his strength increased, Ajax would feel the same thing like he could conquer anything; however, he knew there were big cultivators out there and he needed to be never satisfied with his cultivation or battle prowess. ''If I have to use the normal world''s world core, then what about the smaller world core I have in my inventory. Also, I already prepared a n to enter the surrounding smaller worlds. So, what about them?'' All of a sudden, Ajax asked a couple of questions to the system. ''Ding, Actually, there are many uses of the world cores. Other than increasing the host''s cultivation for his unique cultivation method, it can be used to merge with other world cores of the same level to be a high-level one. ''Ding, 10 smaller world''s world cores can be merged to be one normal world''s world core. ''Ding, Also, the smaller world core can decrease the time for the smaller world to be the normal world. ''Ding, Furthermore, if a smaller world''s world core absorbed a world seed, then a smaller world''s world core can be used to speed up the upgradation process. ''Ding, There are many other uses that the host has to find on his own. ''So many uses?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment when he thought about how hard he had to work to get his hands on the smaller world''s world cores, then he was no longer surprised. ''However, the thing is, should I wait until I collect nine other smaller worlds'' world cores or should I just give it the world core of the grey dwarf world?'' Since the grey dwarf world''s world core had consumed the world seed he got from the system, Ajax felt the time required for the grey dwarf world to be normal would be decreased. So, he started thinking about what he had to do. If the grey dwarf world bes a normal world, all the grey dwarf''s talent in weapon refining would be improved. Also, he could use the trading mirror to trade with the emperors of the normal worlds instead of Kings of a smaller world. ''Emperors will have a lot of good itemspared to the Kings; however, the problem is I have to find a way to repair the broken trading mirror.'' ''As for entering the elite general realm with a normal world''s world core, I can find...wait a second.'' While he was thinking, Ajax thought of something and directly came to a conclusion. ''I will just wait until I find a way to repair the trading mirror before focusing on my cultivation. Once I have enough cultivation, I can even directly get the normal world''s world core and let this world core consume it.'' Even though it took some time for him to get to the conclusion, Ajax was satisfied with his decision. "I have to resume my conquering missions soon and gather nine more smaller world cores and enter the elite general realm. Once I enter that realm, I can pay a visit to the Undead bronze demon world and save all the elemental spirits." Ajax thought about his world-conquering mission as he had already nned which worlds he had to conquer next. ''However, before that, I need to give some orders to my little dwarves to prepare some high-level heaven grade weapons.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the training grounds inside the Never-returning cave and Zanath''s words to enter the training grounds. So, he had to make sure to get the payment ready while he could fully focus on the world-conquering mission. With that thought in his head, Ajax walked out of the castle as he summoned the leaders of the 100 towns in the grey dwarf world. ¡­.. In front of the recently built protector castle. Ajax was sitting on a wall as he looked at the 100 old dwarves standing on the ground with respectful looks on their faces. It took them a couple of hours for all the town leaders to gather in front of the castle and since they were doing nothing these days, they were faster toe to the castle. "Protector, thanks for taking care of our food crisis." "Yes, protector. Not? only did you bring the spirit beast carcasses but they were more high-level than the ones we used? to raise in the past." "We are very grateful to you, protector Ajax." All the old dwarves fell to the knees as they thanked Ajax from the bottom of their hearts. "As your protector, that''s the least thing I have to do." Ajax shook his head before saying, "So, how long do you think the food I bought willst for you?" Ajax wanted to know it because he didn''t want to be in a hurry like previously. Moreover, since he would destroy some worlds, Ajax could always keep an eye on the spirit beasts'' bodies for his little grey dwarves. "If we use it conservatively, it wouldst us for three months." One of the old dwarves didn''t think much as he replied to Ajax because he had already calcted when he received the space rings from Rurbeak and Lurmer. "There is no need to be conservative with the food." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he knew what all the town leaders were thinking in their heads. Having Ajax as their protector was already a good thing and they didn''t want to make him take trips to the other worlds because of them. However, Ajax didn''tck the spirit beasts to hunt. So, he ordered them not to be conservative with the food. "How long will itst if you eat itvishingly?" Ajax asked them another question. "One and a half months, protector." "45 days? That''s the right time for me to go back." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "So, let''s discuss the weapon refining business now." ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1125: Treasury

Chapter 1125: Treasury

Since Ajax wanted to go back to the purple stone world in one month for the never-returning cave''s training ground, Ajax was not worried about the food for the grey dwarves. ''However, I need to find a way to repair the trading mirror. It will not be good to go up and down between the two worlds for the spirit beasts.'' Ajax silently thought about the broken trading mirror. "So, let''s talk about the weapon refining business now." Nevertheless, Ajax decided to wait until he got his hands on any items that could repair the trading mirror becauseing straight to the business. As a protector of the world, Ajax could use half of the resources or items produced by the inhabitants of the grey dwarf world. Moreover, he was providing them food on his own. So, even if he took a higher percentage, the dwarves didn''t mind. In any case, Ajax wanted to get clear with these things and didn''t want to end up like the previous protector. "We will do as you say, protector; however, please make us work a little more." The dwarf advisor, who was standing beside Ajax replied in a low voice; however, everyone was able to hear his words. "Is that what you want?" Ajax asked the 100 old dwarves standing in front of him. "Yes, protector." "In the past, we used to like the weapon refining and we were able to put all our hearts into each weapon we refined." "However, the previous protector took that as an advantage and treated us like ves to refine the weapons all the time." "Because of that, we nearly lost our liking to the weapons that wereing from the ancient times would have turned into dislike." Soon, one after another dwarf started backing up the old dwarf advisor and said some things that surprised Ajax. Because for the grey dwarves, weapon refining was everything because of the previous protector and the demon kings, they nearly lost their interest in their favourite profession. "Okay" Ajax nodded and said, "So, from now onwards, I need you to refine only 100 High-level heaven grade weapons in a month. As for the lower level weapons, it is your wish. You can refine as many as you want." "Only a hundred in a month?" The grey dwarves were surprised by such a small number because they could do it in a week even if they refined the weapons rxingly. There are 100 grey dwarf towns in this world and each town could refine a high-level heaven grade weapon without any problem. "Yes." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Among those 100 high-level heaven grade weapons, I will be naturally taking my 50 percent." "What?" "Protector only takes 50 from them?" "We thought the protector would be taking all of them." Once again the old dwarf town leaders were surprised with Ajax''s word as they asked more or less the same questions. "Yes. Isn''t that what the protector has to take for being the protector of the world?" Ajax replied to them with a question. "Yes, Protector." The old dwarf advisor nodded his head as his respect for their young protector reached the next level as he asked, "So, what are we going to do with the remaining 50 heaven grade weapons, protector?" "The remaining weapons will be going into the treasury." Ajax slowly replied to them as he continued, "Since the castle you built for me has many huge halls, let''s make one of those halls into a treasury." "The items in the treasury will be used only for the development of this world." Soon, Ajax finished his n for the development of this world. The thing is, currently, the trading mirror was broken and once he gets repaired, he could use those weapons in the treasury to trade with. "We will work on making a secure treasury, Protector." Finally, they knew Ajax was the right protector for their world as they excitedly replied to Ajax. "You can start whenever you want it. I will be taking a small walk around the world." As soon as Ajax gave permission to turn one of the huge halls in the protector castle into a treasury, he walked away from the castle to take a small walk along with his two dwarf followers and the old dwarf advisor. "Master, if you don''t mind, can I ask you something?" Along the way, Rurbeak, the brave young dwarf asked Ajax after some hesitation. "Ask" Ajax casually nodded his head as he checked his surroundings. "If we only refine 100 high-level heaven grade weapons in a month, it would take a very long time to develop this world. Moreover, our proficiency in the weapons refining will not be fast." Since Ajax gave the permission, Rurbeak directly asked and indirectly suggested that what Ajax did would dy the development of the world. "Haha" Hearing the words of the young dwarf, Ajax could not help butugh as he looked at the old advisor before asking, "Do you feel the same that my actions are not best for the grey dwarf world?" Ajax was not angry at Rurbeak; instead, he liked him more because for him, having thousands of mindless followers, one follower who can think on his own is better. Almost all of his summons and the followers think on their own and give him some suggestions from time to time. "No, Protector." As for the old dwarf advisor, he shook his head as he asked Ajax, "Can I exin to him about it?" Before Ajax could ask the old dwarf advisor to exin his thoughts to the young dwarf, Tunmil, himself volunteered to exin. So, he casually nodded his head giving permission for him to exin. "Even though it seemed like it was not the right thing to do, actually, it is the right thing to do. With more free time on our hands, we could have time to create modified weapons or we can even try creating weapons in our heads." "With that, our weaponsmith rank will increase steadily and reaching the King Weaponsmith realm is not an impossible thing for us." As an advisor, the old man knew what Ajax was trying to do. Instead of creating more and more of the same kind of weapons, he was trying to focus on the future of the grey dwarf world by trying out new things. ''As long as he has that mindset, my grey dwarf world is in safe hands.'' This was the only thought in the old advisor as he looked at Ajax. "Oh. So, that''s how it is." Even though Rurbeak was young; however, he quickly understood what the old advisor was saying and looked at Ajax as though he was seeing an idol. ''Master is so thoughtful. I have to make a good weapon for him to y his enemies.'' Soon, Ajax became an idol for the talented young weaponsmith as he decided to create a weapon for his master. "Good. It''s time for me to go on a mission." After taking a stroll in the grey dwarf world for a while, Ajax decided to resume his world-destroying mission. ***** Monthly target.

Chapter 1126: Shard Giant World

Once Ajax decided to continue his world-destroying mission, nothing could stop him. So, he summoned Alder before asking him to open the portal for the shard giant world. Among the nearby smaller worlds, Ajax thought he could easily destroy the Shard giant world and he wanted to test his new strength. So, he chose it. As for the Obsidian naga world, Strom werewolf world, Hellish ogre world, Ajax put them on hold because all the smaller world cores are the same unless the world was mutated just like the Undead bronze world. ''Yes, master.'' Alder, the devourer eagle king excitedly nodded his head because he was eager for some action. After devouring the mid-level king realm expert, King ucus, even though he didn''t break into the mid-level king realm, his battle prowess had received quite a boost along with his bestial soul reaching level 3. So, he is no longer a noob in the King realm and with his unique traits, he would even put up a good fight with a mid-level king realm expert. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a huge portal was open in front of the devourer eagle king as Ajax could see the crystalline ground and crystalline boulders. "Protector, are you going to the Shard giant world?" The old dwarf advisor and Ajax''s two dwarf followers were still behind him and when they saw the crystalline ground through the portal, the old dwarf advisor asked Ajax with an excited look on his face. Simrly, the two dwarf followers were also excited for some reason. "Yes. Do you want toe?" Ajax nodded his head as he asked them whether they wanted toe with him to the Shard giant world. "No" "Yes" Tunmil and Lurmer shook their heads; however, the young dwarf hurriedly nodded his head because he wanted to venture to other worlds. "Okay." Ajax gave permission to Rurbeak with a simple nod before the old dwarf advisor, "Why are you so excited about it?" He was curious about Tunmil and Lurmer''s excitement when they didn''t have any ns to enter the Shard giant world. So, he asked about it. "Shard giants from the Shard giant world are good materials for weapon refining. So, if the protector brings them, We, dwarves can refine some good weapons." The old advisor''s words make Ajax a little surprised; however, when he imagined how a shard giant looks, he was not surprised anymore. A shard giant has many simrities with humans; however, its minimum height was five meters and all limbs were made up of some special crystals that could absorb the energy whenever they kill a living being. The more they kill, the more energy they will absorb into their body and the more powerful they will be. With that ability, of course, they became the demon kings'' underlings in the other world''s invasions. "No problem, I will bring some shards back for the dwarves to make weapons." Ajax nodded his head and felt it was not a big deal to bring back some materials. "Speaking of materials for the weapon refining, I have some materials to give." Soon, Ajax thought of the items he got from the system and the materials refined by his arcane spirit turtle from the bodies of the demon kings. "Use these materials and try to create some good weapons with them." Once he gave the space ring filled with some good items for weapon refining to the old dwarf advisor, Ajax entered the portal along with the devourer eagle king and Rurbeak. Even though Ajax left, the portal was still open as the two dwarves could see; however, they didn''t dare to enter. "Demon king bones?" Soon, Tunmil looked into the space ring given by Ajax and was shocked by the first item he saw. ''Nether rock'' ''Enraged earth metal'' As the old dwarf was looking into the space ring, he was getting shocked with each item he was seeing and finally his eyesid on a floating metal in the corner of the space ring. "Th...this is¡­." Tunmil hurriedly rubbed his eyes as he checked the floating metal in the space ring once again. "What happened, old man?" Lurmer, who was standing beside Tunmil, asked the old advisor with a frown. "Th..there is a...fl...floating..." "Just tell what is inside the space ring." However, Lurmer got irritated when he saw that the old man was stammering a little too much and asked him to just tell what it was inside the space that made the old advisor shocked. "There is a floating obsidian in the space ring along with Nether rock¡­.." Soon, Tunmil exined all the items inside the space ring after controlling his agitation from seeing all those items. "Floating obsidian? Why are you getting so shocked by that?...wait a second...d..did y..you say Fl...floating obsidian?" This time, it was Lurmer''s shock as he hurriedly took the space ring from the old dwarf''s hands and checked the space ring. "There is really floating obsidian and other valuable metals." Only after seeing with his consciousness, Lurmer believed Tumil''s words and hurriedly said, "What are you waiting for? Let''s announce this to everyone in the world." Since they got some good metals for weapon refining, how could he not inform everyone about it? "Lurmer, shut up." However, he was berated by the old advisor as Tunmil continued, "There is no need to inform everyone about it for now? because they would want to refine the weapons from these metal right away." "Huh? Isn''t that the best thing we could do to the protector by refining weapons with these metals?" Lurmer frowned when he heard Tunmil''s words because he felt the old dwarf was trying to use those metals for himself to refine a weapon for the protector. "Idiot...why don''t you use your head once in a while?" Tunmil could sense the disgust from Lurmer''s words. So, he gave a quick p to Lurmer before saying, "The best thing we can do with these metals is to refine a legend grade weapon. Refining a high-level heaven grade weapon is a waste of such precious metals. So, what do you think is the best thing now?" Since the grey dwarves are not so good with their heads, the old dwarf advisor helped Lurmer see the bigger picture before asking him about the best thing. "Yeah...it is a waste to refine Heaven grade weapons from these metals." Lurmer nodded his head before asking, "However, we don''t have anyone who could refine a legend grade weapon in her world. So, what do you think we should do?" "What else? All we can do is wait until a few of us be capable of refining the Legend grade weapons." Tunmil said those words as his face became serious while saying, "Until then, no one should know about these metals. If they knew it, I would be the one to kill you. Don''t doubt my words." As soon as he finished his words, the old dwarf walked towards a tree in the distance and rested his back against the tree while guarding the portal against other grey dwarves entering it. As for Lurmer, he shuddered with the old dwarf''s words and nodded his head. ***** Amr_Farahat, thanks for the PIZZA. cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA x 2. ****** Monthly target.

Chapter 1127: Demons are Demons

In the Shard giant world. ''Screech'' As soon as the devourer eagle king entered the Shard giant world, it let out a loud screech as though it was letting its presence known by all the shard giants in this world. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Soon, many five-meter giants with crystalline hands and legs rushed towards them with their expressionless faces. "Alder, you have done enough. You can rest now." Just when the devourer eagle king was getting ready for some action, Ajax''s words nearly made it fall as he looked at Ajax as though it was begging to let him have some action. "Fine...fine. Go to the other end of the world and start killing them." Seeing that look in the devourer eagle king''s eyes, Ajax nodded his head and gave permission to start killing. "Thank you, master." As soon as Ajax gave the permission, the devourer eagle king became excited as he thanked Ajax before disappearing into the distance at an incredible speed. "I thought to solo this world." Ajax shook his head as he started attacking the hundreds of the iing Shard giants. ''Advanced spatial des'' As usual, he started with his first skill to kill hundreds of shard giants. If some of them didn''t block his spatial des with their hands, the kill count would have been in the thousands. ''Looks like they have some intelligence.'' Looking at how they were able to block his attacks, Ajax was surprised for a moment and thought to himself. Generally, the Shard giants belong to the golem race, yet, at the same time, they werepletely different from the actual golem. The actual golems didn''t want to kill others and they like to rest in the same ce while gaining the energy from the ground below them at a slow pace. However, these Shard giants were able to absorb energies from other living beings. So, they be the demon king''s underlings while invading other worlds. Moreover, the golem didn''t have much intelligence and even if you attack, they would not block them; however, the shard giants were blocking his attacks. ''Let''s see how strong your crystalline limbs are.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned his inheritance sword before started waving it while using his grade 5 sword dao. A grade 5 sword dao can kill anyone below the King realm who didn''t have anyw. So, standing in his position, Ajax simply released sword waves in all directions to clear the shard giants. All the shard giants around him were having a strength of rank 5 and below. So, Ajax didn''t bother to use any of his bloodlines or other trump cards. As for his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, he was not nning to summon them as he wanted to destroy this world on his own. .... Somewhere in the endless space, four primordial demon kings were searching for the traces of the destruction of the bronze demon world. However, their luck was not so good regarding it. "Looks like the humans got cocky with the appearance of a new genius among them that they even started putting their nose in our territory.." All of a sudden, the first demon king under the Primordial demon emperor said those words. Even though they were unable to find the destroyed bronze demon world in Igunuz''s region, Jostruth found something that made him think that there was a human in this region. "Humans? How is this possible?" "Yes, Jostruth. If someone enters this region, the demon emperor would have warned us." "So, how are you sure there was a human in this region?" The three remaining demon kings asked Jostruth one after another as his words didn''t make any sense. "Did you all forget that I can detect the presence of any living being that passed by this region within a short time?" Jostruth scoffed at them as he continued, "Moreover, I also sense that there was a divine dragon around here with that human. We have to inform the demon emperor about it." "Also, I can say that he is a high-level human king with an ability to hide his presence well that fooled our emperor; however, my ability works differently, I can sense that left-out presence." By the end of his words, Jostruth felt a little happy because he was sure that Igunuz was dead and at the same time, he made up some words that were obviously believed by the other demon kings. "So, what should we do?" Tagrek, the silent demon king, felt something was off; however, he had stayed too long with Jostruth and knew that he would not lie about things like these. So, he asked with a serious look on his face. "One of us had to go back to inform the demon emperor about it." Jostruth had already nned his next steps as he continued, "As for the remaining three, we will split in different directions and search for the human and divine dragon." "I will go then." Tagrek was the first one to say that while thinking in his head, ''Even though his words are convincing, I better be careful with him.'' "Okay." Jostruth didn''t think much about Tagrek as he nodded his head and looking at the other two demon kings, he said, "Just look at the worlds on the perimeter of the region and if you find anything unusual, just send the signal to others." Soon, he finished his orders to the three demon kings and sent them away. ''Haha¡­.looks like I will be getting the divine dragon for myself.'' Looking at the disappearing silhouette of the demon kings, Jostruth startedughing to himself as he controlled his magical leaf to fly in the direction of the Shard giant world. ¡­.. "Bralrath, did you feel something off about Jostruth?" Other than Tagrek who went to inform the demon emperor about the human movements in the demon emperor''s territory, the two other demon kings who were supposed to travel in two different directions met in somece. "I feel the same." Bralrath nodded his head as he looked in the direction Jostruth went. "So, what do you say? Shall we follow him?" Gostron asked with an eerie smile on his face. "Yes." Bralrath nodded his head and continued saying, "Also, I have another n. How about we kill Jostruth and me that so-called human?" "Interesting." Gostron was not surprised with Bralrath''s actions because Jostruth had insulted him many times in front of his subordinates, making him lose their respect. "However, we shall let that human and him fight and he will definitely use all his trump cards if the human is strong and wins the fight. Then, let''s use that chance to kill him." Soon, Gostron suggested Bralrath wait before executing their n. "So, what about the divine dragon? Who is going to keep it?" Thye both knew about each other, so they wanted to talk about the gains which they were yet to gain. "We can tame it as we didn''t have the ability to do so; however, we can give it to the demon emperor and take good things along with two regions which lost their rulers." Bralrath said those words and soon, both the demon kings startedughing. ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month).

Chapter 1128: nning to groom the devourer eagle generals

In the Shard giant world, ''Mountain splitting technique'' Ajax waved his inheritance sword as he killed a dozen peak rank 6 shard giants with his sword technique. He didn''t have any idea that a high-level demon king and behind him, another two high-level demon kings were flying towards the shard giant world right now. Nevertheless, he only worried about killing the shard giants and getting his hands on this world''s world core. "Rurbeak, collect only the shards from high-level shard giants." Ajax pointed at the shining shards around him and asked Rurbeak to collect them. "Yes, Master." Rurbeak was not alone in picking up the shards as Ajax''s shadow clone and the puppet that had the strength of peak elite general realm also helped Rurbeak. "It''s been a couple of hours already but why no King realm shard giants wereing out of their holes?" Ajax was wondering about the King realm shard giants because he was not feeling satisfied with these low-level shard giants and wanted to kill some big fishes. ''I hope Alder didn''t kill them all.'' Looking into the direction in which the devourer eagle king had flown, Ajax muttered to himself as he killed the endless waves of Shard giants. "Damn it...now, I am bored to kill these low-level shard giants." Finally, after another hour or so, Ajax lost interest in killing them and decided to summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Everyone, just finish them all and if there is a King realm shard giant, inform me." Ajax was not worried that his elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts might get killed by a King realm Shard giant in a single attack. So, he stretched his body as he decided to get the world core soon before leaving this world. ''Yes, master.'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads as they rushed towards the iing shard giants to kill them. ''Screech'' Soon, a loud screech came from the distance and of course, it belonged to the devourer eagle king. "Looks like you have a few King realm shard giants, right?" The moment the devourer eagle kingnded in front of Ajax, he asked Alder about the King realm shard giants. "Yes, master. How do you know?" Alder looked a little surprised as he nodded his head and asked Ajax how he knew about it. "Because you lost interest in this world." Ajax scoffed at the devourer eagle king because it was obvious that with no King realm shard giants to fight, Alder, as the king realm spirit beast, would definitely lose interest in the world. "So, how many were there?" Even though Ajax was a little angry at the devourer eagle king, he felt a little childish to fight regarding it. So, he decided to leave that matter before asking about the number of the King realm Shard giants. "There were a total of five King realm shard giants and except for one who had a level 3 bestial soul, all other King realm shard giants were noobs in the King realm." The devourer eagle king didn''t mind Ajax''s scoff as he proudly said his achievement to Ajax. "Well then. Did you bring the bodies?" "Yes, master." Alder opened his mouth and threw five 10-meter King realm shard giants, who were obviously dead for a while now. "Good. At least you remembered my promise to Twilight." Previously, when he was in the five elemental world, the devourer eagle king devoured a mid-level king realm and the divine dragon threw tantrums at him. So, he promised the divine dragon that he would be giving the next king realm bodies for it. "Twilight,e and eat these to your heart''s content." Ajax recalled the divine dragon to consume the carcasses of the King realm shard giants. ''Roar'' However, the divine dragon angrily roared at him as though it was saying, ''Do I look like I will eat something that came out of the bird''s mouth?'' After roaring at Ajax, the divine dragon looked at the devourer eagle king before going back to its destruction. "Sigh...I forgot how proud these dragons are, not to mention the divine dragons." Ajax shook his head and looked at the five carcasses of the king realm shard giants and muttered to himself before thinking of something. "Volcanis, cut their limbs." Since the limbs of the shard giants are just as valuable as the demon king''s bones for the weapon refining, he wanted to keep them aside before asking the devourer eagle generals to consume those bodies. Compared to his contracted spirit beasts and the summons, the 10 devourer eagle generals could use all the energy in the carcasses. So, he asked them to consume the bodies. The more high-level bodies they devour, the higher their bestialw will increase and they could break through to the King realm. ''I think, focusing on these ten devourer eagle generals to be the devourer eagle kings was not a bad choice for me.'' Suddenly, Ajax had a thought while looking at the ten devourer eagle generals that were consuming the limbless shard giants in front of them and thought to groom them properly just like his summons. ''If I can have more devourer eagle kings, they can open portals to more neighbouring worlds which speed up their cultivation.'' ''Also, just imagining 11 devourer eagle kings entering a normal world would shake the entire world and with my summons, who might even enter the king realm by that time, conquering the normal worlds is not a big deal for me.'' Ajax got lost in his thoughts as he was always nning his future and modifying it as he went. Within no time, the ten devourer eagle generals finished their meal; however, from the looks of they were clearly not satisfied with their meal. "You are not satisfied, right?" Ajax asked them with a slight smile and without waiting for their reply, he looked at the devourer eagle king and said, "Alder, I have one major task for you." "Just say it, master. I will try my best to finish it." The devourer eagle king respectfully nodded his head as he attentively listened to Ajax''s next words. "I want them to be the devoured eagle kings. How long do you think it will take for them to reach that level?" Ajax asked the devourer eagle king with a serious look on his face. "It will take decades to reach the king''s realm for them; however, if we continue to destroy the worlds, they would take less than five years." Alder informed Ajax as he continued, "If they were able to peacefully consume the king realm bodies continuously, their bestialw might increase and be the bestial soul in less than a year." "Other than that, there is a way; however, I don''t think it will be a good thing for some of the devourer eagle generals." After some hesitation, the devourer eagle king looked at the ten devourer eagle generals and replied to Ajax. "What is it?" Ajax raised his brows as he asked about it. "Let them devour one another." ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1129 - Jostruth Enters The Shard Gaint World "Let them devour one another." Looking at the devourer eagle generals, Alder informed Ajax that made all ten devourer eagle generals shiver a little; however, they were not surprised by the devourer eagle king''s words. "Devour one another?" Ajax raised his brows as he could finally understand how cruel this devourer eagle king was. For the devourer eagles, it ismon to either devour or to get devoured. Even though those ten devourer eagle generals were specially raised by the devourer eagle king, he still suggested that idea. So, Ajax didn''t know what he had to say to the devourer eagle king. ''Let it be. If it takes time, I will wait.'' Compared to the short term, Ajax thought for the long term. Instead of one extra devourer eagle king right now, Ajax wants 10 extra devourer eagle kings after a year. So, he said, "I don''t like the idea." "However, I got another idea." All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and continued saying, "Among you ten, I will be grooming a single devourer eagle general until it bes a devourer eagle king; however, don''t worry, I will groom all of you. "So, decide among yourselves who should I groom first." After finishing his words, Ajax looked at the ten devourer eagle generals. Since it would take less than a year to groom all of them into the King realm with his current pace of destroying worlds, Ajax decided to focus on a single one instead of 10 devourer eagle generals. By doing so, the time required for a single devourer eagle general to be a King realm beast will be decreased to less than a couple of months. "Let''s go with our general titles. So, the first general goes first and second general after that and so on." One of the devourer eagle generals suggested something that was eptable to everyone. ''I thought they would fight. Looks like there is a lot to learn about the devourer eagles.'' Ajax was surprised when he saw how peacefully they came to an agreement. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and said, "I will call you by your names from now and First, you will always follow the devourer eagle king and devourer the King realm carcasses and other high-level elite general realm or peak rank 6 beings killed by him." "As for all of you, you should only devour rank 5 or below beings. Do you understand?" Ajax gave his orders to the ten devourer eagle generals. "Yes, master." All the devourer eagle generals nodded their heads without any hesitation. Even though they look dumb, they knew that the more devourer eagle kings they have, the more portals they could open to conquer. So, they didn''t have any problem with Ajax''s orders. Some might think how the devourer eagle king had the ability to open the portal to the other worlds even before entering the king realm and the reason for that was because the devourer eagle king mutated and became a devourer eagle king after consuming the previously king of the devourer eagle king''s world. As for other eagle kings, they either have to mutate or awaken that skill or enter the King realm to get that skill and Ajax was trying to do thest one because he felt it was in his hands, unlike the first two options. "Now, go back to your work." Soon, Ajax asked everyone to go kill the shard giants while Rurbeak collected the shard limbs of the King realm shard giant. "For me, these smaller worlds are no longer a problem to conquer; however, I am still not strong enough to go against a normal world." Looking at his fierce summons who were killing the shard giants as though they were killing a bunch of ants, Ajax muttered to himself. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 30 minutes passed by. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully conquering the Shard giant world. Please take the world core or the host can choose to develop this world. Soon, Ajax got a system notification making him nod his head. ''I already have a grey dwarf world to develop. Why do I need this world? Moreover, I am in need of world cores. So, I will just pick the world core and leave from here.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax decided to let his spirit consciousness enter the core realm of the world to pick the world core. "Haha¡­.so you are just a general realm brat." Before he could do that, Ajax heard a loud voice from the sky and hurriedly looked at the source of the voice. ''Another primordial demon king?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the primordial demon king flying in the sky on a magical leaf. ''Looks like he must havee for revenge?'' Since Ajax killed Igunuz and even had a bronze demon curse on him, Ajax was not shocked by the appearance of a demon; however, what made him worried was the strength of the demon king. The previous primordial demon king he killed had a cultivation of the high-level king realm. So, Ajax was expecting the demon flying in the sky must have simr cultivation as Igunuz. "My name is Ajax and my cultivation is level 10 general realm." Nevertheless, he calmed down as he introduced himself to the primordial demon king. "Haha...you want to know the name of your death, right? So, I will say." The primordial demon king chuckled as he continued, "My name is Jostruth, the first demon king under the primordial demon emperor with a cultivation of high-level demon king." "Is that enough or do you want to know anything else?" After finishing his introduction, Jostruth asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. At the same time, he was looking at the divine dragon beside Ajax with greedy eyes. ''Alder, Twilight, Volcanis,....stall some time for me as I pick the world core. As for the others, just enter the portal.'' However, Ajax was busy giving orders to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Those who could fight against the king realm experts stayed behind and others entered the portal. "Since the introductions are over, let''s fight." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax revealed an excited smile on his face as he activated his ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' and the ''spirit merger bloodline''. ''Enter'' At the same time, Ajax entered the core realm of the world to pick the world core because he didn''t want all his effort to go to waste just because of a high-level demon king. ''As soon as I collect the world core, I can summon back everyone and leave this world.'' Ajax''s n was good; however, for it to work, his summons to stall for some time. "Sure" As for the demon king Jostruth, he was in a great mood because he found the divine dragon and as long as he consumed the divine dragon, his chances of bing the demon emperor would be greatly increased. "Since you want to y, I will y." With that thought in his mind, Jostruth started fighting Ajax''s summons. ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1130 - Divine Dragon’s Deal "Do you think you will stand a chance against me?" Looking at Ajax''s summons that were rushing at him, Jostruth could not help but mock them before starting the fight with them. ''Time halt'' However, before the high-level demon king Jostruth could use any of his attacks, he was frozen by Halo for a split second. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroid" "Celestial engulfer" "Annihtion." "Devourer beam" "Gold bear king''s sh" . . All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts activated their elementalws and bestialws respectively before using their ultimate skills within the split second where Jostruth was frozen. ''What the hell?'' Jostruth was terrified for that split second he thought he was going to die; however, when all the attacksnded on him, except for a few scratches there were no other major injuries. "No matter how powerful your skills were, in my eyes, you are all ants. Except for you, you are a little stronger among these ants." Except for the devourer eagle king''s attack, no other attack caused any injury. So, Jostruth kept an eye on the devourer eagle king. So, pointing at the devourer eagle king, Jostruth said, "I will give you a chance to be my mount and I will let you live. What do you say?" Having a devourer eagle king had a lot of advantages because it was not only fast but it could even open portals to the other worlds. Moreover, as long as it was given good cultivation resources, it would definitely reach the Emperor realm. So, Jostruth decided to take the devourer eagle king as his mount. "In your dreams." If he had not met Ajax, the devourer eagle king would have already epted the high-level demon king''s offer; however, after seeing how mysterious Ajax was and a separate world filled with many elemental paradises, the devourer eagle king felt Ajax was his only master. Even though the current situation seemed like the high-level demon was in charge, actually, the devourer eagle king knew that his master had already nned something. All they have to do is stall for some time for his master to collect the world core. "Sure. Since you want death, I will give you one." Jostruth doesn''t like to get rejected by anyone. So, when the devourer eagle king openly rejected his offer to be his mount, he became furious and rushed towards the eagle. ''Primordial demon soul,e out.'' A huge demon that looked just like Jostruth; however, it was transparent. It appeared in front of Jostruth as it punched the devourer eagle king. ''Puchi'' The devourer eagle king was fast enough because of his level 10 advanced eleration bestialw. So, he used his wings to block the punch. However, it was of no use as the devourer eagle king was sted into the distance. "You ants made me use my demon soul. So, you can peacefully die now." Once the devourer eagle king was gone, Jostruth didn''t think much about the others because they were not even King realm yet. So, he left all the fighting to his demon soul. "Except for the divine dragon, kill everyone." With an evil look on his face, Jostruth ordered his demon soul and looking at the divine dragon, he asked, "If you want to live, you can be my mount; however, you saw what happened to that bird, right?" Jostruth was happy with both the decisions that the divine dragon would make. If it bes his mount, then he would be the powerful demon emperor with the divine dragon from the prophecy. If it rejects his offer to be his mount, then he would kill it and consume it to lessen the time to reach the demon emperor realm. So, it was a win-win for him as he watched his demon soul toying with the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "I agree to your offer on one condition." Surprisingly, the divine dragon agreed to the high-level demon king''s offer; however, he said he had some condition. "You are not in a position to talk terms with me." Jostruth scoffed at Twilight as he continued saying, "You have to be my mount without any terms and conditions." "Okay then." The divine dragon shook his head as he continued, "Then you? have to kill me." While saying that, the divine dragon used ''Divine destroyer'' at the demon soul of Jostruth. Even though the attack was powerful, there was nothing it could do against the demon soul of a high-level demon king. "I am waiting to kill you for a while now." Jostruth didn''t bother with the divine dragon''s attack as it didn''t do any damage to his soul. So, he said he was waiting to kill it. After saying that, he slowly flew towards the divine dragon. "We are also waiting to kill it for a while now." "Jostruth, are you going to take everything for yourself?" Just as Jostruth flew a couple of meters, he heard two familiar voices from the sky that made him raise his brows. ''How did they find out about this ce?'' Jostruth frowned; however, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he turned to look at the two neers. Of course, they were none other than his fellow high-level demon kings Bralrath and Gostron who felt something was wrong with Jostruth and secretly followed him. At the same time, he decided to kill him after he fought with the human and his divine dragon. However, when they saw that the human was just a general realm kid and there was only a low-level spirit beast king along with him. As for the other elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. In his eyes, they were not worth looking at. "Actually, I thought the human was a king realm cultivator; however, when I found out he was just a general realm brat, I thought I can finish him and his summons before calling you to share the spoils with you." Even though Jostruth didn''t like the two high-level demon kings, he knew he would not win against the two of them. So, he could only act like he was nning to share the spoils with them. "Good" Both the high-level demon kings, of course, didn''t believe Jostruth''s words as they looked at Ajax and asked, "What happened to him? Why is he standing at the same ce without moving?" It''s been a while since they saw Ajax not moving from his ce. So, he felt something suspicious; however, since Ajax was only a general realm human, they stopped worrying about him. ''An opportunity.'' As for the divine dragon, when he saw the appearance of two more high-level demon kings, he felt like he got an opportunity. So, without wasting any time, he flew into the sky and said, "The condition for me to be your mount was to let all my friends leave from this world." "Stop talking." "There are conditions. We are nning to kill you and share your body equally." However, the three demon kings scoffed at the divine dragon. "I forgot to mention, I am yet to use my divine dragon''s blessing since I awakened it." ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1131 - Internal Fight Among The Demon Kings "I forgot to mention, I am yet to use my divine dragon''s blessing since I awakened it." The divine dragon, who usually seemed like he would think about nothing but destruction, thought of something and said to the three high-level demon kings with a proud look in its eyes. "What?" "Your divine dragon''s blessing is not used yet?" "Give it to me and I will safely send them out of this world." The three high-level demon kings were shocked with the divine dragon''s words and hurriedly they would leave Volcanis and others live. "Wait a second. How can we believe what you are saying is true?" All of a sudden, Jostruth thought about something and asked the divine dragon with a doubtful face. ''Right!'' ''How can we forget that?'' The other two high-level demon kings realized that Jostruth had a point and looked at the divine dragon. "As long as you prove that you still haven''t used the divine dragon''s blessing. We can talk terms." Soon, Jostruth asked the divine dragon to show the proof as he ordered his demon soul to stop attacking Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "You want the proof?" The divine dragon stopped worrying when he saw that he baited the three high-level demon kings and said, "I can swear on heavens." "Swear on heavens?" Jostruth scoffed at the divine dragon''s words as he asked, "Instead of that, why don''t you swear on the dragon god?" "Dragon god? Sure. However, are you sure about it? If I swear on the dragon god, he will know about my presence and if you harm me, you will be in trouble." Dragon god. He is a character from myths that looks after all the dragons. No one knew whether he was real or not; however, if a dragon swore on the dragon god and if it didn''t keep its promise, the dragon would mysteriously die. Swearing on the dragon god is simr to swearing on the summoner''s heart. However, no one knows whether they were 100 percent true. Nevertheless, no summoner wants to swear on the summoner''s heart and no dragon wants to swear on the dragon god. "Forget it. Just swear on the heavens." Even though the dragon god is just a myth, Jostruth didn''t want a powerful entity to keep tracking him. So, he decided to let the divine dragon not swear on the dragon god and asked him to swear on the heavens. The reason why Jostruth didn''t want the divine dragon to swear on the heavens is that the divine dragons are always liked by the heavens and they might not kill the divine dragons even if they were telling lies. Nevertheless, he could only try it now. As for why Twilight didn''t want to swear on the dragon god despite him telling the truth, only he knows. "I, Twilight, the divine twilight destruction dragon swears in the presence of the heavens that I still haven''t used my divine dragon''s blessing on anyone." Without any hesitation, the divine dragon looked at the sky and swore to the heavens. "So, do you believe me now?" After swearing to the heavens, the divine dragon looked at the three high-level demon kings and asked them with a serious look in his eyes. "Of course, we will believe you now." Bralrath and Gostron nodded their heads at the divine dragon and looked at Jostruth before asking, "So, who will get the divine dragon''s blessing?" "Of course, it is me who will be getting the divine dragon''s blessing." Jostruth emitted his high-level king''s aura as he replied to the two demon kings in a calm tone; however, he was not calm at all. Currently, he was nning something in his head to take the divine dragon for himself. ''What a fool he is?'' ''Even though he has many rare elemental spirits and powerful looking contracted spirit beasts, his brain must be on his knees for not using the divine dragon''s blessing until now.'' As for the two high-level demon kings, they looked at Ajax and mocked him. ording to them, only a fool would not use the divine dragon''s blessing and wait. So, when they looked at Ajax, they thought he was an idiot. However, what they didn''t know was, Ajax was waiting for him to be a King realm summoner because asking the divine dragon to use that skill. With that method, his overall battle prowess will receive quite a boost and currently, Ajax felt it didn''t have much need for that 10 percent permanent increase in his battle prowess because he could not kill a mid-level demon king with that boost, not to mention a high-level demon king. "Looks like the fight among us is not something that can''t be stopped anymore." Gostron took out mid-level legend grade short swords while saying those words to Jostruth. "Brother Gostron, let''s kill this bastard before deciding our shares. What do you say?" Bralrath and Gostron were close from a very young age and they considered each other as brothers. So, without any problem, they became a team to fight against Jostruth. Also, they knew that if they fought alone against Jostruth, they could not win and the only way to win was to fight together. "Haha...good. Even though it would be a little troublesome, I will kill you both today and take the divine dragon all for myself." While saying that, Jostruth took out a high-level legend grade whip as he whipped at the two high-level demon kings. "Do you really think you can win against us just because you have a high-level legend grade weapon?" Bralrath mocked Jostruth as he summoned a huge shield which was surprisingly a high-level legend grade item. ''sh'' The whip was blocked by the shield in Bralrath''s hands and at the same time, it got stuck in the shield. In the meantime, Gostron rushed towards Jostruth with his short swords. "You think you can kill me just with these weapons?" Even though Jostruth''s whip got stuck in the shield, Jostruth was not worried much as he summoned a mid-level legend grade dagger from his space ring as he stopped Gostron''s short sword. "Actually, it is not me, who is going to kill you." Jostruth was keeping an eye on Gostron''s other short sword as he failed to notice that the shield in Bralrath''s hands released three sharp spikes at Jostuth. "What?" Jostruth was not expecting that attack from the shield and got hit by the three spikes. ¡­. In the core realm of the shard giant world, "I hope they were doing fine." Inside the core realm, Ajax was assimting the world core into his body while thinking about his summons. So far, he hasn''t got any bacsh meaning that no one got any severe injuries. However, he was unable to take the world core into his body peacefully because he was fearing something might happen to his summons. ''Just a few moments, I can leave from here.'' Ajax already got used to taking the world cores from the core realm and he could say it would not take much time for him to leave the core realm. ''Ding, Mission ''Kill three high-level demon kings'' is generated. ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1132 - Plan To Kill The Demon Kings ''Ding, Mission ''Kill three high-level demon kings'' is generated. Please check the mission for more details. Just as he was finishing to retrieve the smaller world''s world core, Ajax received a system notification in his head that made him raise his brows. ''Three demon kings?'' Before Ajax''s spirit consciousness entered the core realm of the shard giant world, there was only one high-level demon king; however, now the system is saying that there are three of them. ''Is bing a high-level demon king is as easy as growing cabbages?'' This was the only thought in his head because just a month back, he killed a high-level demon king and he met another one a few minutes back. What''s more, the system is saying that there were another two of them. ''I need to get out of this world as soon as possible.'' Ajax felt the danger with the three high-level demon kings because his summons would not be able to stall a single high-level demon king, not to mention there were three of them. Nevertheless, he can''t leave the world core because it will be retrieved any moment now. However, what Ajax didn''t know was that his divine dragon had already dropped some sparks among the high-level demon kings that raised to their internal fight. ''Until the world core is retrieved, I will check this new mission.'' With that thought in his mind, he opened his new mission to check the full details regarding it. ''Ding, Mission name:- Kill three high-level demon kings. Reward:- One random system feature upgrade along with a normal world''s world core. More information:- If the word of the host having elemental spirits of various attributes is known to the demon emperor, he will personallye for you. Since the host doesn''t stand any chance against a demon emperor, it is better to kill the three high-level demon kings. ''What?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised with rewards because he need one normal world''s world core very badly to break into the elite general realm. For him, it would take some time to be capable of destroying or conquering a normal world. Moreover, he liked the upgrade of a system feature. So, he decided toplete this mission at any cost. ''As long as I finish this mission, I can save a lot of time and I can use two smaller world''s world cores to speed up the process of upgrading the grey dwarf world to the normal world.'' Ajax felt greatly motivated and started thinking of a n to kill three high-level demon kings. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to kill them with brute force. So, he could only think of some kind of n to kill them. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully retrieving a world core. While he was thinking about a n to kill the three demon kings, he got the system notification that made hime out of his thoughts and the core realm. ''Huh? What is happening here?'' The moment Ajax''s spirit consciousness went back into his body, Ajax saw the three high-level demon kings were fighting among themselves, making him surprised. ''Ding, This world will be destroyed within five minutes. Please leave this world in time. As usual, since the world core of the Shard giant world is gone, the world will be destroyed as soon as the system reminded him. ''Right. I need to leave this world as soon as possible; however, I want to finish the mission too.'' However, Ajax didn''t want to leave the mission as he didn''t know when he would get such a mission in the future? ''Everyone, go back to the grey dwarf world.'' Even though he didn''t want to abandon the mission, Ajax wanted nothing to happen to his summons. So, he asked them to leave while he was nning something toplete the mission. ''Rumble'' Soon, the destruction of the world started, the crystalline ground started shaking as the entire world shook a little. ''Yes, master.'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' All his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts hurriedly rushed into the portal as Ajax was figuring out a n to kill the high-level demon kings. ''Also, if I can kill them and feed their bodies to the devourer eagle generals, I am sure one or two devourer eagle generals will be able to break through the elite general realm and enter the King realm.'' To make his mind work faster, he even tempted it into thinking of the benefits of killing the high-level demon kings. ''Thinking of the devourer eagle generals, where is the devourer eagle king?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of the devourer eagle king who was nowhere to be seen. ''Alder, where are you?'' Ajax had a bad feeling about it and hurriedly sent his voice transmission to the devourer eagle king. The thing is, Ajax didn''t receive any bacsh. So, he was sure that nothing happened to the devourer eagle king; nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he was injured or trapped by the high-level demon kings. ''M..master, I am fine.'' In reply to his question, Ajax received a weak reply from the devourer eagle king. ''Phew'' Once he got the reply from the devourer eagle king, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief as he asked, ''Are you able to use your wings?'' ''I can, master.'' The devourer eagle king weakly replied; however, Ajax felt it was better than before. ''Good. I have a n to take down these high-level demon kings. So, listen carefully because it totally depends on you. The n is¡­.'' Soon, Ajax started exining his n to the devourer eagle king. That''s right! When he thought of the devourer eagle king, an idea struck Ajax''s mind making him finalize the n. ''However, it is too risky for you. If you don''t want to do it, I can totally understand you and let''s just leave this world now while they fight among themselves.'' Ajax didn''t want to force the devourer eagle king because the chances of the devourer eagle king dying are high in his n. ''I am waiting for a moment like this, master. So, why will I not ept the risk?'' However, the devourer eagle king felt the risk in the n is not as high as Ajax thinks because he knew about his own body and speed. ''If you arete by a second, you will be turning into pieces along with this world and the high-level demon kings can just fly away. So, I leave the decision to you.'' Ajax nodded his head sensing that Alder was not rejecting his n. So, he said, ''Since you have decided, I will be depending on you. All the best.'' By the time he finished his conversation with the devourer eagle king, only Ajax, the divine dragon and the devourer eagle king were left in the shard giant world. "Hey, are you going to fight like little kids because I am tired of it? Why don''t you be serious?" Ajax''s loud voice made the three high-level demon kings stop their fighting as they looked at Ajax with blood-red eyes. "Let''s kill him first and then talk about the dragon." Jostruth asked the two high-level demon kings, looking at Ajax. ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1133 - Tensed Divine Dragon The three high-level demon kings were already furious, to begin with, and when they heard Ajax calling them little kids, they became even angrier. Moreover, they sensed that the Shard giant world was getting destroyed and they didn''t want Ajax to escape into the portal. So, they decided to kill him first before taking the divine dragon along with them. As for their fight, they have many ces they can settle. "Twilight, enter the portal now." The first part of his n was to get the attention of all three high-level demon kings onto him and he was sessful with it. Next, he had to shift the attention to the divine dragon. So, he ordered the divine dragon to enter the portal. "Roar" With a loud roar, the divine dragon flew towards the portal and as long as the high-level demon kings did nothing, he would enter the portal in less than a minute. "I will stop the divine dragon from entering the portal, you take care of that human brat." Jostruth said to the two high-level demon kings; however, before he could move, he was stopped by those two high-level demon kings. "Bralrath, Gostron, what are you doing? The divine dragon is escaping." Jostruth became angry when he saw the two high-level demon kings were stopping him. "I don''t believe you. Let Gostron go after the divine dragon. As for us, let''s deal with the human young man together." Bralrath scoffed at Jostruth as he said those words. "Damn you..." Josturth wanted nothing but to kill these two high-level demon kings; however, he didn''t have time for it because if the divine dragon enters the portal, they don''t know which world it leads to and who were waiting for them on the other side. "Fine..let him go after the divine dragon; however, if he fails to stop it, I will kill you for sure." Nevertheless, Jostruth didn''t want his fight with the other two high-level demon kings to let the divine dragon escape from this world. "What are you worried about? Even if it enters the other world, we can still follow because I sense that the other world is just a smaller world." Gostron didn''t think much because he was very sure that the portal is connected to a smaller world. So, he scoffed at Jostruth. "Whatever. Just don''t let it escape. We still need to escape from this world before it is basted into nothing." Jostruth didn''t bother to hear Gostron''s words as he asked him to take care of the divine dragon. "Bastard, what are you smiling at?" At the same time, Jostruth saw Ajax wasughing at them which made him shout at Ajax. "It''s nothing. With that brain of yours, I wonder how you three became high-level demon kings?" As for Ajax, he was not leaving any chance to mock the three high-level demon kings. "Damn you...human. Just die." Gostron, who was supposed to go after the divine dragon, sessfully snapped at Ajax as he rushed at him. "Teleport" However, just when Gostron was about to attack him, Ajax teleported himself from his ce and sessfully dodged the attack. "You know what...you need to do better than that to kill me...Haha." Even though Ajax sounded arrogant, it was all in his n as he continuously teleported himself towards the portal. "Damn you...what the hell are you doing? Aren''t you supposed to go after the divine dragon?" Jostruth could not take it any longer as he rushed towards the portal to stop both Ajax and the divine dragon. Because both Ajax and the divine dragon''s ultimate goal was to enter the portal. So, as long as he stood in front of the portal, he could stop both of them without any help from the other two high-level demon kings. "Swoosh" As a high-level demon king, Jostruth''s speed was very high and just when Ajax and the divine dragon were only a few meters away from the portal, Jostruth appeared in front of the portal. ''Oh shit.'' Ajax seemed tense when he saw the sudden appearance of Jostruth in front of the portal. "Haha...do you really think, just because of those two fools, you can easily escape into the portal?" Jostruth chuckled angrily as he mocked Ajax and the divine dragon as he continued, "Do you think we are fools just because we have a small internal fight?" After saying that, Jostruth looked at the two high-level demon kings in the distance before saying, "Bralrath, Gostron, everything that''s happened here, let''s forget about it." Jostruth knew that it was impossible for him to kill both the high-level demon kings after seeing their weapons because he didn''t expect that. So, he decided to make peace with them. "Th...this..." "Okay. Let bygones be bygones." Gostron seemed like he didn''t want to make peace with Jostruth; however, before he could say anything, Bralrath nudged at him as he replied to Jostruth. "Good. Once we kill him, we can share the divine dragon equally." Jostruth nodded his head; however, deep down he muttered, ''I should be careful with them as they now have the means to kill me.'' Even though he made peace with the two high-level demon kings, Jostruth still kept his guard against them. "Sure." After nodding their heads, both the demon kings appeared beside Jostruth. Just like Jostruth, they felt the same and decided to kill Jostruth the first opportunity they get in the future. "Then, you don''t want my divine dragon''s blessing?" The divine dragon, who was feeling a little tense for the first time in his life asked in a ''trying to be confident voice''. "Stop your bullshit. Your divine dragon''s blessing nearly made us kill each other." "That''s right! So what if we didn''t get the divine dragon''s blessing? You are not going to give it to us, anyway. So, why waste our time and effort on it?" "Also, as long as we consume you, we can be the demon emperors in less than a decade or two." The three high-level demon kings felt a little disappointed with the divine dragon''s blessing; however, after realizing how cunning the divine dragon was, they decided not to waste their time on it. "What? You don''t want to be powerful in the same realm? With my divine dragon''s blessing, you will gain a permanent 10 percent increase in your battle prowess. Just imagine when you be a demon emperor, how strong you will be with the 10 percent increase in the overall battle prowess." As for the divine dragon, he became even tenser when he heard they were not taking the bait like how they took earlier and tried to tempt them even more. However, from the looks of it, the three high-level demon kings were not showing any interest in his words. ''It is my first time seeing the anxious and tense looking Twilight.'' As for Ajax, he revealed a slight smile in his heart as he thought to himself. "Do you have anyst wishes?" Without bothering with the divine dragon''s words, Jostruth asked Ajax with an evil smile on his face. "Yes." All of a sudden, Ajax left out a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head before shouting, "Halo, Alder, do it now." ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1134 - Successfully Executing The Plan "Halo, Alder, do it now." Ajax shouted as he asked the time elemental spirit and the devourer eagle king to do something. ''Huh?'' The three high-level demon kings felt something was not right and hurriedly checked their surroundings to see what Ajax was nning to do. ''What the hell?'' ''Why can''t I move my body'' ''What kind of ck magic is this?'' However, they noticed that they could not move their bodies as all the three high-level demon kings were shocked. They were obviously stopped by Halo''s time half from the other side of the portal and even though he was still in the elite general realm, he could stop them for a split second. And Ajax was waiting for that split second because the devourer eagle king rushed at the three high-level demon kings with an incredible speed that Ajax could barely see. ''Huh? What is he trying to do?'' Still, the three high-level demon kings were unable to think what Ajax was trying to do as they looked at the iing devourer eagle king. They knew that no matter how much the devourer eagle king attacks them, nothing would happen to them. ''Screech'' With a loud screech, the devourer eagle king used his wings to wrap the three high-level demon kings before flying into the portal. ''Phew...finally, it''s done.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everything went as he nned. ''To be honest, it went easier than I thought.'' This was the only thought in his head as he rushed into the portal along with the divine dragon. ''Boom'' After a couple of minutes, the shard giant world which had its world core taken was finally destroyed. .... In the grey dwarf world. After walking out of the portal, Ajax looked at the three high-level demon kings on the ground while the devourer eagle king was flying in the sky. Around the three high-level demon kings, Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were looking at the demon kings while feeling a little tense. "Answer to your earlier question, until a few moments ago, I was a little doubtful about you being idiots; however, now it is confirmed that I have never seen bigger idiots than you." Ajax looked at the high-level demon kings and mocked them with a big smile on his face. "What did you say?" Jostruth shouted at Ajax; however, he didn''t rush towards him because he still didn''t know why Ajax brought them into this world. And who was backing Ajax for him to be so confident even when confronting three high-level demon kings. "Didn''t you ask me what I thought about you three earlier? So, that''s my answer." Ajax stretched his body a little as he exined while maintaining the smile on his face as he continued, "It is very easy for me to bring you three into this world. Now, I wonder how you are going to leave this world." Ajax looked at the three high-level demon kings with a face full of pity. "So, this is your n? If so, then don''t worry about us; instead, worry about yourself." Bralrath scoffed at Ajax as he didn''t worry about the backer of Ajax from the start. So what if Ajax brought them to a different world? It is still a smaller world and the strongest one would be a low-level king realm expert. "As for how we are going to leave this world, do you see these? With these, we can travel between the worlds without a problem." Gostron pointed at the magic leaves below them and informed Ajax about the usage of those magical leaves. Actually, Gostron and Bralrath misunderstood Ajax for his words when he said that they were not going to leave the grey dwarf world. The meaning behind his words was the three high-level demon kings are going to die; however, they thought Ajax was telling them that they were trapped in this world. "Sigh...you have such high cultivation and battle prowess; however, you are still able to get fooled by me." As for Ajax, he didn''t bother about their words as he continued to mock them. "That''s enough. Let''s kill him and leave this world with the divine dragon." Jostruth, who remained silent until spoke all of a sudden as he urged the two high-level demons to kill Ajax and capture the divine dragon. Until now, Jostruth was checking for the powerful cultivators in this world and he was unable to find anyone. Unless there was an emperor realm cultivator hiding in this world, it was impossible for any powerful cultivator to escape Jostruth''s senses. And if there was really an emperor realm expert in this world, then no matter what they do, they can''t escape him. However, chances of an emperor realm cultivator living in this smaller world are very low. "Why are you ordering us?" Instead of rushing towards Ajax, the two high-level demon kings shouted at Jostruth for acting like he was the leader. "What the hell are you talking about? Let''s just kill him together." Jostruth really felt annoyed with Bralrath''s words and shouted back at the two high-level demon kings before rushing at Ajax. ''So what if you two don''t want to do what I am saying? I will just do it myself.'' Since Ajax was just a general realm human, Jostruth didn''t think much as he rushed towards Ajax to kill him. "Sigh...you still didn''t understand your current situation here." Ajax didn''t show any signs of fear or anxiousness; instead, he sighed at the iing Jostruth. "Stop talking and just die." Jostruth didn''t want to hear Ajax''s words as they would only make him more and more annoyed. So, he summoned his low-level legend grade dagger and shed at Ajax. ''Stop'' Just when the dagger was about to touch Ajax''s neck, Ajax only muttered a single word as he froze Jostruth in his tracks. "What''s happening? Why am I not moving? Is it because of the time elemental spirit?" Jostruth looked for the time elemental spirit which was looking at him and shook his head as though he was saying that it was not him who stopped. "Are you acting dump or do you really not know how a grey dwarf world works?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked Jostruth, who was not moving from his ce and asked. "What? This is the grey dwarf world?" All of a sudden, Jostruth revealed a shocked look on his face as he hurriedly checked the inhabitants of this world with his senses. Earlier, he only used his senses to check the cultivation and didn''t bother to check about who lives here. Once he checked that Ajax was really not lying about the world, he was shocked as his face turned pale. ''Damn it...no wonder he brought us and since he can freeze with just a thought, he must have 100 percent acknowledgement of the grey dwarves of this world.'' Jostruth started racking his brains to think how he could escape his current predicament. "I will be your follower." **** cageraymortal, thanks for the ICE COLA. ***** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1135 - Small Nether Crystal "I will be your follower." All of a sudden, Jostruth said those words that not only shocked Ajax but even the two high-level demon kings in the distance. "What did you say?" Even though Ajax heard Jostruth''s words, he asked with a slight smile on his face. "I said, I will be your follower and kill your enemies for you." Jostruth gritted his teeth as he repeated the words once again. "What about you two?" Ajax didn''t ept or deny Jostruth''s request; instead, he looked at the two high-level demon kings Bralrath and Gostron before asking what they want to do. "We also like to be your followers." After seeing that Ajax could stop Jostruth with a single thought, they knew they were no match for Ajax in this world. To get out of their current situation, all they have to do is to get adapted to it and they are good at it. So, there was no hesitation when they said those words. ''Che¡­'' As usual, Jostruth got irritated with the two high-level demon kings as he waited for Ajax to nod his head and ept them as his followers. "Good." Ajax nodded his head, making all three high-level demon kings heave sighs of relief as they hurriedly thanked Ajax. "Huh? Why are you thanking me?" Ajax asked them with a face full of confusion. "Didn''t you just say ''Good'' and nod your head at us?" Jostruth was the first one to reply to Ajax''s question. "That''s right!" "Doesn''t that nod mean you epted us to be your follower?" Soon, Bralrath and Gostron followed Jostruth''s footsteps as they asked the same thing. "So, nodding my head means I epted your request to be my followers? What a joke." Ajax could not help but scoff at the three high-level demon kings. "Isn''t it better for you to keep up as followers; instead of killing us?" While Jostruth and Bralrath were silent with Ajax''s words, Gostron asked Ajax with a forced smile on his face. "You have a point there." Ajax nodded here as he revealed a slight smile on his face before saying, "Okay then. As long as you give me everyone you have on you, I will think about taking you as my followers. What do you say?" After finishing his words, Ajax looked at them with a slight smile on his face. "What?" "You want all our items?" All the high-level demon kings were surprised as they looked at Ajax with suspicious looks while thinking about Ajax''s words. The thing is when he killed Igunuz, all the items on him got mysteriously destroyed just like the items on the five artificial kings from the grey dwarf world. And Ajax was eyeing the magical leaves of these high-level demon kings that could help them in travelling from one world to another by flying. So, he felt as long as he got his hands on those things, he didn''t have to wait for the devourer eagle king''s ''Portal creation'' ability to get out of the cooldown. Instead, he could fasten the process of getting the world cores at double speed. Moreover, Ajax saw they have legend grade weapons and even if he can''t use them all, once the trading mirror gets fixed, he could either trade them or just gift them to his friends in the future. Overall, it was good loot for him. "Fine...we will give them." Since they didn''t have many options in this grey dwarf world, all they could do was to follow Ajax''s words and hope he could keep his words. "A high-level legend grade shield and whip." "Two mid-level legend grade short swords." "A low-level legend grade." Ajax muttered the grade of the weapons he got from the demon kings as he threw them into his inventory before taking the three magical leaves which turned into small leaves as they appeared in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- World-traveller leaf Grade:- Mid-level legend grade. Use:- It is used to travel in outer space from one world to another without any problem. Activation:- Either by spirit stones or the essence of nature. Soon, the information regarding the magical leaf appeared in front of him and Ajax already knew about the usage of the leaves. So, he was not surprised. "So, are we good enough to be your followers now?" After giving all the items on them to Ajax, Jostruth asked Ajax in a low voice while the other two high-level demon kings expectantly looked at Ajax. "Still, I am not convinced.? So, if you have anyst words, you can tell them to me before I kill you." Ajax shook his head as he replied to the three high-level demon kings with a slight smile on his face. "Damn you...bastard. So, you are lying all along." It was Gostron who was hoping that Ajax would not kill them because who would kill the high-level kings that wanted to be their followers? So, he became furious as he forgot that Ajax was the protector of the grey dwarf world and rushed towards Ajax to kill him. "Die." With the ancient protector sword, Ajax casually shed at the iing high-level demon king, making him into two equal parts from the middle. ''Ding, The host killed a high-level demon king. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 spirit points and a smallher crystal. As soon as he killed Gostron, as usual, he got the system notification informing him about the kill and the rewards he got for killing. ''Smallher crystal?'' Ajax already knew about the spirit points; however, the same can''t be said to the smallher crystal as he summoned the small purple-coloured crystal from the inventory and checked its information. ''Ding, Item name:- Smallher crystal. Use:- It stores 100 units of the puresther energy from the depths of one of theherworlds. Note:- This item can help the beings who use theher energy for their cultivation including the King realm beings. ''What? It can even help the king realm beings with their cultivation?'' Ajax was shocked with the usage of the small purple-coloured crystal in his hands and the first person he thought about after reading the information on the crystal was Sparrow. ''With this, I think her cultivation might reach the peak rank 6 realm.'' Ajax silently kept the crystal back into his inventory as he looked at the two high-level demon kings who were angrily looking at Ajax. "Do you know why I killed him?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked them about the reason why he killed Gostron. "Because he rushed to kill you." Both the high-level demon kings replied the same thing because if they were in Ajax''s shoes, they would have done the same thing or even worse. "No." However, Ajax shook his head denying their answer as he continued saying, "I killed him because he was not sincere when he said that he wanted to be my follower." These words made both the high-level demon kings shiver a little because they knew what Ajax was suggesting as they heard Ajax''s words, "So, what should I do with you two?" ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1136 - Killing All The Demon Kings "So, what should I do with you two?" From Ajax''s looks, it was very clear that he was not going to take these high-level demon kings as his followers, making the two demon kings frustrated and at the same time, they were furious at Ajax. If they went back in time, they would have killed him the moment theyid their eyes on him; however, there was no use in regretting now as there is no medicine for regret in this world. "Human, just imagine what we can do if we became your followers." Nevertheless, they controlled their emotions and tried to show how much they could work for him. "Yeah. I know what you can do and that''s the reason why I am going to kill you." With a scoff, Ahaxx casually waved the ancient protector sword once again and sessfully killed the two high-level demon kings. ''Ding, The host killed two high-level demon kings. Gained 2000 spirit points. ''No extra reward?'' Ajax was a little disappointed to see that there was no extra reward from killing the two high-level demon kings. Nevertheless, Ajax was satisfied with the thought that hepleted the mission. ''Ding, The hostpleted the mission ''Killing three high-level demon kings.'' ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a normal world''s world core. ''Ding, Choosing the random system feature to upgrade¡­..selected Lottery tab. Please wait for 24 hours for the upgrade of the Lottery tab to bepleted. Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with the system notifications that made him reveal an excited smile. ''Finally, I can increase my cultivation to the elite general realm.'' Why would he not be excited when he could increase his cultivation to the next major realm? "Everyone, you can go and rx." Nheless, he sent everyone away except for the devourer eagle king and the first devourer eagle general. "You did great, Alder." Ajax praised the devourer eagle king because he risked his life while bringing the three high-level demon kings into the grey dwarf world. "I was able to do that because of Halo. If he didn''t freeze them, I would have been killed before I could reach them." However, the devourer eagle king gave full credit to the time elemental spirit because the n was sessful because of his time halt skill. Even though Halo could only freeze the high-level demon kings for a split second, it was enough for the devourer eagle king to bring the demon kings into the grey dwarf world. "Everyone did great today." Soon, Ajax nodded his head as he gave the credit to all his summons because they adapted to the situation very well. What surprised Ajax the most was the ''Always angry divine dragon'' tricked the three high-level demon kings into fighting among themselves which waspletely unexpected. ''Looks like there are more emotions than anger in Twilight.'' Ajax felt a little bit relieved to see that the divine dragon was not bing a mindless killing creature; instead, he was using his head to solve the bad premonitions. "Anyway, let''s get back to the main business." In the next second, he remembered why he asked the devourer eagle king and the first devour eagle general to stay back and said, "First general, why don''t you slowly devour one of the high-level demon kings'' corpses." Since Ajax was nning to groom one of the devourer eagle generals to be the devourer eagle king, he was going all out and gave permission to the devourer eagle general to devour. "Thank you, master." The first devourer eagle general was so excited as he hurriedly thanked Ajax before picking a high-level demon king''s corpse. "Alder, as for you, you have to make sure he devours the high-level demon king''s body at the right pace. So, his devouring bestialw increased rapidly." Next, he gave the order to the devourer eagle king who nodded his head. "Master, two high-level demon king''s corpses are more than enough to break into the king realm. You can ask the second devourer eagle general to consume the third corpse." As the devourer eagle king who had a lot of experience in devouring various corpses and beings, he could tell whether the devourer eagle general would break into the King realm after consuming the two high-level demon kings'' corpses. "Yeah. I thought the same; however, I don''t want to take the chance. Let''s just wait until the first devourer eagle general breaks into the King realm and then let''s focus on the second devourer eagle general." Ajax nodded his head and informed that he wanted to be sure before focusing on the second devourer eagle general. "As you wish, master." The devourer eagle king just shook his head and didn''t say anything else and focused on the first devourer eagle general''s devouring. "Master, I have something I wanted to ask you about these high-level demon kings." After a few minutes, when the devourer eagle king saw that the first devourer eagle general was doing right with his devouring, he said those words to Ajax. "Sure. Go ahead and ask." Ajax, who was looking at the first devourer eagle general and mesmerized with the speed at which his ''devour'' bestialw was increasing, nodded his head when he heard the devourer eagle king''s words. "Why did you not ept the three high-level demon kings as your followers, master? They would have been very useful for the master in conquering the other worlds very easily." The devourer eagle king had this doubt for a while now and since Ajax had given the permission, he didn''t hesitate to ask it. "Haha" In response to the devourer eagle king''s question, Ajaxughed out a loud a little before saying, "They would have been useful for me only if they were sincere when they said they wanted to be my followers." "What?" The devourer eagle king frowned as he didn''t understand how Ajax was able to figure out they were not sincere enough while saying those words. ''At least I felt they were sincere.'' This was the thought in the devourer eagle king''s head; however, he didn''t doubt Ajax''s decision because his master is still quite a mystery to him. That''s right! Even Ajax felt the same when he first heard those words; however, he didn''t get the system notifications in his head regarding the follower request which meant they were not sincere enough. Moreover, he still needed to kill them toplete the mission to get the normal world''s world core. So, Ajax didn''t think much before killing them. ''Anyway, I got some good weapons and items to travel between worlds.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he stopped thinking about the high-level demon kings and focused on the first devourer eagle general. "Level 7 devour bestialw." From the side, the devourer eagle king informs the level of the bestialw Ajax. ''One high-level demon king''s body helped him reach level 7. Good.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and waited for the devourer eagle general to devour the second corpse. ''Swoosh'' However, before the devourer eagle general could start devouring the second high-level demon king''s corpse, his body started glowing with bright light making the devourer eagle king shocked. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1137 - Demonic Devourer Eagle King ''Swoosh'' The devourer eagle general''s body started shining with golden colour. ''Th..this is..'' Seeing that, the devourer eagle king was shocked as though he was seeing a ghost and turned his head to look at Ajax who was having a surprised look on his face. "Master, he is evolving." The devourer eagle king informed Ajax regarding the process which the devourer eagle general was undergoing. "I know." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face because he already got the system notification in his head. ''Ding, The first devourer eagle general is currently undergoing an evolution. Please make sure to not disturb him during the process. So, Ajax nodded his head and remained silent while observing the evolving devourer eagle general. ''I hope he gains the skill to open the portals to the other worlds.'' This was the only thought in Ajax''s head because that was the reason why he was grooming them in the first ce. Nevertheless, he was also hoping his bestialw to increase from level 7 to level 10, if possible because, at the time, he was only one step away from being a King realm beast. The process continued as the golden light that was surrounding the devourer eagle general disappeared after a couple of hours. ''Ding, The evolution of the first devourer eagle general is finished. Please check the details by scanning him. Soon, the system sent him a notification regarding the evolution. The thing is, the 10 devourer eagle generals were not his contracted spirit beasts and he was not nning to make a contract with them unless he had to. Since they were sessfully tamed by the force and even their previous king was Ajax''s tamed beast. So, Ajax felt they would not betray him. So, he could not check the devourer eagle general''s details in the contracted spirit beasts section of his user interface. He could only know by looking at the spirit beast from a close distance. ''Ding, Spirit beast name:- Demonic devourer eagle king. Strength:- Peak rank 6. Skills:- Portal creation,..... Bestialws:- Devour (level 8), Advanced eleration (level 10), Demon aura (level 1) ¡­. Soon, theplete information about the devourer eagle general appeared in front of him. ''He finally got the skill.'' The first thing he looked at in the rows of information was the skill ''Portal creation''. As for the other skills, Ajax didn''t bother about them because they were more or less the same as the devourer eagle king before he broke into the King realm. ''Also, he learned a new bestialw.'' Ajax was surprised at the new bestialw; however, he didn''t think much about it, because if the new devourer eagle king focuses on the new bestialw, it would take a long time for him to break into the king realm. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything because he knew that the new devourer eagle king would make the right decision. ''Portal creation.'' In the next second, Ajax focused on the ability because he wanted to know the cool-down period of the skill. Before the devourer eagle king could break into the King''s realm, his skill had a cooldown of one year. ''Ding, Skill name:- Portal creation. Effect:- The spirit beast can open the portals to the other nearby smaller worlds. Note:- The spirit beast can only use this skill once every six months. "Not bad." Ajax nodded his head at the new devourer eagle king. Even though it evolved into the devourer eagle king, he had yet to break into the King''s realm. "Alder, he is much more powerful than you when you were at the same cultivation as him." Ajax joked with the devourer eagle king as hepared him to the new devourer eagle king. "Young will always rece the old, master." Alder didn''t mind Ajax''s joke as he nodded his head while looking at the recently evolved devourer eagle king with a proud look in his eyes. The thing is, he groomed them from the time they were born and they were like sons to him. So, he was not jealous or envious of the new evolution of the devourer eagle general. "Well said." Ajax nodded his head as he asked the devourer eagle king, "So, how rare is it for a devourer eagle to evolve into a demonic devourer eagle king?" Evolution, for every spirit beast, is something they could only dream of and the chances of evolving are very rare. So, Ajax wanted to know about the rarity of such an event. "I have never seen it, master. So, I think this is the first time a devourer eagle evolved into this." Alder shook his head before asking Ajax, "So, master, what are you nning to do? Are you going to let him consume the second high-level demon king''s body or..." "No." Before Alder could finish his words, Ajax interrupted his words before looking at the newly evolved devourer eagle king and asked, "First general, why don''t check out your new skills and speed; however, don''t cause any troubles to the natives of this world." "Yes, master." The first devourer eagle general was so excited with his recent evolution; however, he controlled his excitement and when he heard Ajax''s words, he nodded his head and flew into the sky before screeching loudly. "He sure is excited." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face when he saw how excited the first general was. "Coming back to the main topic, I will focus on the second devourer eagle general." Without wasting any time, Ajax summoned the second devourer eagle general who looked at Ajax with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Go and devour the high-level demon king''s corpse." Ajax ordered the second devourer eagle general and asked the devourer eagle king to look after his devouring process. "You must be wondering about why I didn''t focus on the first devourer eagle to break into the King realm, right?" After a few minutes, when he saw Alder look at him, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, master." Alder nodded his head as though he was waiting for the answer. "The main reason why I am grooming these devourer eagle generals is for their skill ''Portal creation''. Since the first devourer eagle general surprisingly evolved into a demonic devourer eagle king and learned that skill even before entering the King realm, I felt it was pointless to focus on him when I can groom the second devourer eagle general to break into the King realm." Ajax started exining the devourer eagle king for the reason why he focused on the second devourer eagle general; instead, of the first devourer eagle general. Even though the demonic devourer eagle king could only open the portal every six months, Ajax felt it is better to make the second devourer eagle general into a proper King realm beast who could create a portal for every single month. By doing so, he could have a total of three devourer eagle kings (two real King realm spirit beasts) who can create portals to the other worlds. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1138 - Breaking Into The Elite General Realm ''Ding, The second devourer eagle general sessfully became a King realm spirit beast. ''Ding, Please check the details by touching the spirit beast. After a couple of hours,? the second devourer eagle general ate the two corpses of the high-level demon king and started shining with a golden light. However,pared to the first devourer eagle general, the golden light was much lighter. It was not an evolution; instead, it was a breakthrough and Ajax was satisfied with it. ''Ding, Spirit beast:- Devourer eagle king Strength:- Low-level King realm. Skills:- Portal creation,... Bestial soul:- Devour soul (level 1) Bestialw:- Advanced eleration (level 10) Since the devourer eagle king is a king realm spirit beast, he had to touch it and the other party should not resist his spirit sense. Just like before, Ajax''s eyes were focused on the ''Portal creation'' skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Portal creation. Effect:- The spirit beast can open the portals to the other nearby smaller worlds. Note:- The spirit beast can only use this skill once in a month. ''Phew...it is the same as Alder''s skill.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his new King realm spirit beast could open a portal to the other worlds once in a month just like Alder. "From now on you will be called Cale." Since he is not a devourer eagle general anymore, Ajax decided to give a name for him and continued saying, "As for the demonic devourer eagle king, he will be named as Cade. Inform him." Soon, Ajax gave the names to the two devourer eagle kings and asked Cale to inform Cade about his name. "Thank you, master." Cale bowed to Ajax and hurriedly flew into the sky with an excited look in his eyes just like the previous devourer eagle. ''All of a sudden, I feel like I have a lot of things to do.'' With the sudden appearance of two devourer eagle kings who could use the ''Portal creation'' skill, Ajax felt he would be busy with things. Because he would conquer the smaller worlds at an incredible pace now. What''s more, he still has the three magical leaves to especially fly to those smaller worlds. ''Since I can get the world cores at a much faster pace, I think I will speed up this world''s development too.'' Soon, Ajax felt like he could speed up the upgrade of the grey dwarf world by throwing the smaller world''s world core. ''System, give one smaller world''s world core to the grey dwarf world''s world core.'' As soon as he thought about it, Ajax didn''t hesitate to give one of the two smaller world''s world cores to the grey dwarf world''s world core. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world''s world core sessfully absorbed the world core. ''Ding, The time required for the grey dwarf world''s world core decreased to 9 months. ''Woah...it absorbed the world core in a second?'' Ajax didn''t expect the grey dwarf world''s world core to be a gluttonpared to his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. ''I don''t know how much a single smaller world''s world core helped to decrease the upgradation time; however, I will figure out if I give another world core.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system to deliver another world core to the grey dwarf world''s world core. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world''s world core sessfully absorbed the world core. ''Ding, The time required for the grey dwarf world''s world core decreased to 6 months. ''What? One world core decreased the time by three months?'' Ajax thought it would be around one month; however, when he saw the decrease of three months in the upgradation time, Ajax was shocked and at the same time, he was excited. ''At this rate, I only need two smaller world''s world cores,'' As long as he used his two new devourer eagle king''s skills, he could open the portal two times and as for getting his hands on the world cores, Ajax didn''t think much about them because he had confidence in him and his summons. ''Before I ask one of them to open the portal, I will just use the normal world''s world core to break into the elite general realm.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the normal world''s world core he got from the earlier mission and decided to use it. The higher his strength is, the better it is for him while conquering the other worlds. ''System, I want to use the normal world''s world core to break into the elite general realm.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered the system and a slightly bigger world core than the smaller world''s world core appeared in Ajax''s spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Please endure the pain. A simple system notification appeared in his head and a sharp pain rose in his spirit consciousness which increased at an incredible speed. Soon, the pain started spreading all over his body as Ajax fell to his knees. ''Aargh...I can do it...With paines the great strength.'' While gritting his head, Ajax tried to motivate himself as he endured the pain. At the side, the devourer eagle king was only worried about Ajax; however, he didn''t move forward because he knew that his master was trying to break into the elite general realm. Moreover, he got used to seeing Ajax break through painfully. No wonder, master is powerful despite having such low cultivation. I wonder how strong he will be if he enters the elite general realm.'' Even though Alder was worried about Ajax, he knew that as long as his master endured the pain, he would be very powerful. Time continued to pass and in a sh, three hours passed. During the three hours, Ajax''s pain didn''t decrease at all; instead, it increased even more; however, Ajax was getting adapted to the pain. After experiencing the pain at a young age, Ajax learned a method to endure pain and that was to adapt to the pain as soon as possible before it could even increase. As the pain increases, adaptability should increase. So reduced the pain experienced by him to the minimum. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking into the level 1 elite general realm. Soon, the system notification appeared in his head, making him heave a sigh of relief as he fell to the ground. ''Finally...finally, I did it.'' While gasping for breath, Ajax muttered those words in a low voice. "Congrattions, master, for your sessful break though." Alder, the devourer eagle king, who was standing at the side congratted Ajax. "Thanks, Alder." Ajax replied to the devourer eagle king as he looked at the sky in the air. ''Ding, Since the host is now an elite general realm cultivator, he can learn the cultivator''sw. ''Ding, As a reward, the host''sprehension will be increased to 10 times for the next month. Please utilize it to the maximum. ''What? Comprehension speed increased by 10 times for the next one month?'' Just as he was enjoying the silence, Ajax received two system notifications that made him pleasantly surprised. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1139 - [Bonus ]Planning To Cultivate And Conquer At The Same Time ''As long as I focus on cultivating the cultivator''sw, I can level it up to a high level.'' With such a good reward, Ajax felt as long as he cultivated the cultivator''sw, he could reach level 5 or higher than that in a short time. ''But the thing is I can''t stop my world-conquering mission now.'' However, the problem was, Ajax didn''t want to dy his world-conquering mission. ''I think I will just leave this world-conquering mission to my summons while I focus on cultivating the cultivator''sw.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax toe to that conclusion because he felt his summons could conquer a world on their own. ''All I have to do is enter the world and pick the world core.'' When he thought about this, Ajax could not help but feel excited. "Alder, are you ready for another world invasion now?" Ajax didn''t want to waste much time by resting or he felt his summons were more than excited for another invasion because most of his summons didn''t even use their powerful attack in the Shard giant world until the appearance of the high-level demon kings. So, he asked the devourer eagle king. "I am always ready for the world invasion, master." As expected, Alder replied with an excited look in his eyes. "Everyone,e to the protector castle as soon as possible." Since the grey dwarf world is basically his, Ajax didn''t bother to send his summons into the inner world unless his elemental spirit or the contracted spirit beasts wanted to go back to cultivate. So, he could only send a voice transmission to all his summons to gather at the newly constructed protector castle. "Alder, let''s go." Ajax used the ancient protector sword as a flying sword and flew towards his castle. As for his summons that were spread all over the grey dwarf world, they were rushing towards the castle after receiving Ajax''s order. .... In the greater primordial demon world. It took more than a day for Tagrek, thest remaining high-level demon king under the primordial demon emperor, to reach the primordial demon world. "Demon Emperor, I have something important to inform you." The moment he entered the primordial demon world, Tagrek directly shouted because he knew the primordial demon emperor could hear his words without any problem. "Swoosh" As soon as he finished his words, a silhouette appeared in front of the high-level demon king and it was none other than the primordial demon emperor. "What is it?" The primordial demon emperor asked with a serious look on his face. Unlike the other demon emperors, the primordial demon emperor gave a little too much freedom for the five high-level demon kings under him. So, Tagrek didn''t show any fear as he replied. "Igunuz is killed by a human who owns the divine dragon." "What?" The primordial demon emperor was shocked by Tagrek''s words because he always keeps an eye on his territory and if he felt a human presence in his territory, he would directly send someone to kill that human. To humans, entering his territory is a death sentence. However, now, not only did a human enter into his territory right under his nose, but he even killed one of his high-level demon kings. So, he was furious. "So, why the hell did youe back without bringing his head back to me?" The primordial demon emperor shouted at Tagrek. "Demon Emperor, that human is using some kind of camouging skill to hide his presence. Jostruth and the other two high-level demon kings were searching for him while I came back to inform you about this." Tagrek saw the primordial demon emperor be this furious for the first time in his life and he could understand the reason for it. So, he hurriedly exined that Jostruth and others were going after the human. "Since you informed me about it, you can go and join the search." It took some time for the primordial demon emperor to calm down before ordering Tagrek to join the search. "Yes, demon emperor." Tagrek nodded his head as he controlled his magical leaf to fly away from this world; however, he heard the primordial demon emperor''s words, "Also, I want that divine dragon at any cost." "Your order is mymand, demon emperor." Unlike Igunuz, Jostruth and other high-level demon kings, Tagrek was intelligent and didn''t have the slightest bit of greed when it came to the divine dragon. So, he didn''t have any ns other than catching the divine dragon alive for the demon emperor, he didn''t want to take it for himself. "I hope they caught the human by now." With that thought in his mind, Tagrek flew in the same direction he came from. However, what the primordial demon emperor and Tagrek didn''t know was that Ajax had already killed the three high-level demon kings. Adding the previous high-level demon king, so far Ajax had killed a total of four high-level demon kings. ¡­.. In the grey dwarf world, Currently, Ajax was flying towards his castle and along the way, he stopped at a few dwarf towns to check on how they were doing. At the same time, he asked whether they got the items he gave to the advisor and his follower Lurmer. ''Huh? They only got the shards from the shard giants?'' ''Also, they didn''t get any King realm shards?'' Ajax felt a serious problem when he learned that the items he gave to the old dwarf advisor and his follower Lurmer to share it with all the dwarf towns were not shared. Only low-level shards were shared and there was no trace of the high-level shards, making Ajax take this problem as a serious one. ''Looks like I need to have a talk with the old advisor and Lurmer.'' Soon, Ajax came to that conclusion; however, didn''t say anything to the town members as he didn''t want to portray the old advisor and Lurmer as the bad dwarfs who were stealing the high-level weapon refining items. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he flew towards the castle at an incredible speed which waspletely surrounded by the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Along with them, there were three dwarves from three different generations, young, middle-aged and old. They were none other than Rurbeak, Lurmer and Tunmil. "Greetings, summoning master." "Greetings, master." Seeing Ajax and the devourer eagle king flying towards them, everyone bowed to him as they greeted him respectfully. Among the crowd, there were two newly evolved and broke though devourer eagles with the same respectful look in their eyes. "Everyone, the reason I summoned you here is to ask something." Ajax nced at the old and the middle-aged dwarves before looking at his summons and saying those words. All summons looked at Ajax and listened to his words carefully without talking back. "Are you ready for the next world invasion or do you need a break?" Ajax directly came to the main topic as he asked them. "We are always ready, master." Everyone excitedly shouted back to show Ajax how excited they were for the world invading mission. **** Releasing a bonus chapter after a long time... **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1140 - Ways To Fix The Ancient Trading Mirror Ajax''s all elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts stayed in his inner world for most of the time and only starteding out because of the world-conquering mission. Moreover, in thest world invasion, they didn''t use their full power on the shard giants and wanted to go for another invasion as possible. However, they didn''t ask Ajax because opening a portal to the other worlds required a lot of energy and since the devourer eagle king had just opened a portal yesterday. But now, they heard their master asking them whether they were ready for another world invasion. So, of course, they were excited as they nodded their heads. "Good." Seeing the excitement on all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax nodded his head with a big smile on his face before asking them, "You can take a small break as I have something to discuss with the dwarves. After that, we will go for the world invasion." "Yes, master." "Sure, summoning master." Everyone nodded their heads as they started slumping onto the ground to take a small break. "So, Tunmil and Lurmer, shall we talk about the materials I have given to you? I heard they never reached any town." Soon, Ajax walked towards the old dwarf advisor and his second dwarf follower before asking them. "Protector, those materials are still with us." Lurmer got a little scared when he saw how serious Ajax was; however, the old dwarf advisor was calm andposed as he continued exining, "I wanted to exin why I kept those materials with me; however, you are very busy and didn''t have time to hear." "You can tell me now and if I am not satisfied with the reason, you will be thrown into the prison in my castle." Ajax nodded his head and gave the old advisor a chance to say his words because he was indeed busy and didn''t hear the old advisor''s words earlier. "I feel it is a waste of material to use them to refine a Heaven grade weapon. So, I thought it is better to wait until a dwarf with a high sess rate for the legend grade weapons appears in this world." Tunmil was waiting to say these words for a while and he felt relieved after saying them out. As for what Ajax would do after hearing his story, it is entirely up to Ajax to decide as he is the protector of the world. "You did good; however, without these materials, how long do you think it will take for that one dwarf to appear?" Ajax understood what the old advisor was saying; however, it would take a long time. However, if a dwarf refine a heaven grade weapon from high-level materials like Nether rock, enraged earth metal and others, the rate at which the dwarf gets the enlightenment into the King realm weapon smithy would be high. ''...'' The old advisor didn''t talk because he felt what Ajax said had some truth to it and started thinking about how he could modify it. "Anyway, what you did was right." Nevertheless, before the old advisor could think of something, Ajax started speaking, "So, why don''t we conduct a weapon refining contest in each town and select one or two young genius weaponsmiths from those towns?" "Later, select the best-experienced weaponsmith to train them for a while before giving those materials for them to practice?" Soon, Ajax devised a n to nurture a group of young talented dwarves in the weapons refining. "Good idea, protector." The old advisor nodded his head as he continued, "Even though it will take some time, we will have a group of refined young dwarves who could push the limits in the weapon refining which the old dwarves like us were not able to push." "Lurmer, you will be helping the old advisor and I don''t want any of the town leaders to show favouritism to their young dwarves. The contest should be genuine as it is for the sake of this world." Nodding his head, Ajax looked at Lurmer and ordered a few things for him to take care of. The more high-level dwarves they have, the more high-level weapons they could refine which Ajax could trade either using the ancient trading mirror or by jumping back to the purple stone world. However, he didn''t think thetter option would be not a good choice because Zrochester province is poor. ''To use the ancient trading mirror, I need to find a way to fix it.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he asked the old advisor about the ways to fix the ancient trading mirror. "Protector, there are a few ways to fix it." As the oldest veteran weapon refiner, the old advisor knew a lot of things when ites to the artifacts and weapons, which most of the old dwarves didn''t know. So, Ajax listened to the old dwarf advisor''s words. "A peak King-level weapon refiner could fix the ancient trading mirror; however, even he can''t guarantee the 100 percent sess rate while fixing it." The old dwarf said the most basic way to fix any artifact or weapon was to find a simr level weapon refiner or higher than that. "We don''t have any King-level weapon refiner in this world anyway. So, tell me the other ways." Ajax shook his head and he knew it would take years for one of the dwarves to be a peak King-level dwarf. So, he asked for other methods. "If you have a King-level upgrade stone along with a King-level sess stone, you can upgrade the weapon which would not only fix the artifact but even increase its effects." . . . "There is a King-level repair stone which could repair any Legend grade artifact; however, it was just a myth and no one had ever seen a normal repair stone not to mention a King-level repair stone." The old advisor continued to say one method after another; however, with each method he said, the difficulty of the method increased to the next level. "Damn it...looks like it will take a lot of time before I can use the ancient trading mirror." Ajax was frustrated with each method said by the old advisor. The thing is, he wanted to see how an ancient trading mirror will work; however, after listening to the old dwarf advisor''s words, Ajax shook his head and decided the nature to take its courses. Until then, he decided to focus on either increasing his strength or increasing the rank of the grey dwarf world. "However, there is another way, protector andpared to a few of the earlier methods I mentioned, it is an easy one yet a little difficult one to do." All of a sudden, the old dwarf advisor who saw that Ajax was frustrated for not having a way to fix the ancient trading mirror, suddenly thought of something. "Huh?" Just when Ajax thought to stop thinking about the ancient trading mirror and decided to resume his world-conquering mission, he heard the old dwarf''s words that made him a little curious as he asked, "Go ahead and say, what is that method?" **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1141 - [Bonus ]Invasion By The Summons "Since the Ancient trading mirror is connected to this world, if it is upgraded to Normal grade, then the chances of the mirror getting repaired are good." The old advisor looked at Ajax as he replied to him. "Oh" Ajax thought it was something new; however, when he heard the old dwarf''s words, he only nodded his head because he already thought of that possibility and that''s the reason why he was trying to upgrade the grey dwarf world to the normal grade as soon as possible. However, no one from the grey dwarf world knew that Ajax had already given a world seed, two smaller world''s world cores to the world core of the grey dwarf world and it is already half a year away from bing a normal world. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t bother to inform them about it because he was doing it for himself and not for the others. With a normal world filled with grey dwarves, the King level weapons refiner would be amon phenomenon with each and as the protector of this world who contributed so much for the world is bing a normal world, he would get more good things from the world. Among them, Ajax hoped the ancient trading mirror would get repaired itself with the upgrade. "What are the chances of the ancient trading mirror to get repaired if this world upgraded to normal grade?" Ajax asked the old advisor hoping he could have an idea about it; however, the other party casually shook his head, making Ajax slightly disappointed. "Let it be, there is no harm in upgrading the world to the normal grade." Nevertheless, Ajax shook his head and stopped bothering about the ancient trading mirror for now because he would know whether the ancient trading mirror will be repaired or not when he upgraded it to the normal world. "Yes, protector." The old dwarf advisor nodded his head. "Okay then, You can go and take care of the contest. Finish it as soon as possible and start the special training for the talented young dwarves." Soon, Ajax asked the three dwarves from the three generations to leave as he turned to look at his summons. "There are still three smaller worlds around this grey dwarf world." He didn''t rush things with his world-conquering mission without proper nning. So, he thought about the smaller worlds around the grey dwarf world. Hellish ogre world, a smaller world filled with ogres that looks like they came out of the volcano with rough bodies, partially covered with fire. Their bodies were not consumable even by the devourer eagle king. Without a doubt, they were evil and did the demon king''s bidding just like the shard giants. Storm werewolf king world, which was ruled by the storm werewolf king and the world ispletely covered by the storms making the storm werewolf king goes against even the mid-level king realm experts. As for whether they were evil or not, Ajax didn''t have much idea; however, it doubted they were innocent. ''I have to confirm them after entering their world.'' Ajax put the second world on hold as he thought about the third world, the obsidian naga world. "Obsidian nagas'' upper bodies look just like a human and as for the lower part, it was a snake." Ajax still remembered that the obsidian nagas are one of the evilest races just like all the sses of a demon and devil race. Even though they didn''t belong to any of the sses of the demon race, they became a part of the demons because of the simr nature they share with the demons. And nature was to invade the human race, kill the men, impregnate the women and space the children to grow for them to invade the human world once again. "So, it''s decided. I will let my Cade open the open to the Hellish ogre world and after conquering that world, I will order Cale to open the portal to the Obsidian naga world." Soon, Ajax decided on two worlds he is going to conquer next and continued thinking, "As for the storm werewolf king world, I can give them a chance to surrender themselves to me." That''s right! He was nning to not destroy the Storm werewolf king world; instead, he wanted to own it. Because the storm werewolves make a good army for him to go against the demons and moreover, they reach the king realm easierpared to the other spirit beasts. ''Also, they were not evil, to begin with and they must be forced by the demons to assist them in their invasions.'' Even though Ajax said those words to himself, he couldn''t care less about it because he had only one thought in his head and that was to tame that world; instead of destroying it. "Cade, open the portal to the Hellish ogre world." Once he came to the conclusion of what he had to do with his next three worlds, Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he directly ordered the demonic devourer eagle king to open the portal. ''Screech'' "Yes, master" With a loud screech, the demonic devourer eagle king nodded his head as he closed his eyes and opened a medium-sized portal in front of him. Compared to the portal opened by Alder, the devourer eagle king, it was small; however, Ajax didn''t think much as all his summons could fit through it including the divine dragon and the devourer eagle kings. Even though the portal was opened, no one moved because it was Ajax who would usually enter the world during those situations. So, everyone looked at Ajax. "Everyone, this time, I will not being with you and don''t expect to receive my bloodline boost." As for Ajax, he started saying some words as he continued, "So, you are on your own. Rely on each other and increase your battle prowess to the next level by forming a team against the King realm beings." "As for the normal beings, I know you can take care of them on your own without the help of others. So, all the best on your world-conquering mission." Soon, Ajax finished his head speech and silently entered the protector castle. ''What?'' ''Master is noting with us?'' ''We are on our own?'' ''I wonder why he is noting with us? Or is he trying to test whether we canplete the task of conquering the mission or not?'' ''I think it is a good thing that the master is noting with us though. Because, during this short period of time, we are overly relying on the master''s bloodline boost.'' All the elemental spirit and the contracted spirit beasts were surprised for a moment before getting excited because, without Ajax, they could stop relying on Ajax''s bloodline boost all the time and push their own limits. So, without wasting any more time, everyone rushed into the portal. ¡­.. Inside the protector castle. After sending all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax walked into the cultivation chamber that was built specially for him and sat cross-legged. ''It time to cultivate the cultivator''sw.'' ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1142 - First Cultivator’s Law ''It time to cultivate the cultivator''sw.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax took out a red-coloured crystal from his inventory. It was none other than the cultivator''sw stone that he got from refining Master Red''s body. The cultivator''sw stone had a cultivator''sw called ''Fire devour'' and as long as he cultivated it from thew stone, it would not take much time for Ajax to learn the cultivator''sw. Ajax already nned to cultivate while his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts conquer the world. Other than entering the world to collect the world core, Ajax was not going to do anything. The main reason for that was because of his reward for breaking into the elite general realm that hisprehension speed would be increased by 10 times. And among everything, Ajax felt concentrating on the cultivator''sw was the best chance during this time as it would increase his battle prowess by a good percent along with the powerful skill. ''Ding, Do you want to use the cultivator''sw stone? Soon, Ajax got the system notification asking him whether he wanted to use the stone. ''Huh?'' However, it only made Ajax surprised because he didn''t think he would get a system notification. ''So, does that mean I can learn the level 10 fire devourw directly?'' When he thought about it, Ajax could not help but feel excited before replying to the system, ''Yes.'' The thing is, the cultivator''sw stone he got from refining Master Red''s body was a level 10w stone because Master Red is a King realm expert and he has already converted the cultivator''sw into cultivator''s soul. So, when Ajax heard the system notification, he hoped he could learn the level 10 cultivator''sw directly. ''Ding, Please endure the pain while infusing the knowledge about the cultivator''sw. A system notification appeared in his head before he felt a sharp pain in his head; however, Ajax didn''t think much about it as he already gotten used to the pains. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for learning his first cultivator''sw ''Fire devour''. Please check the full details in the user interface. After a few minutes, Ajax received the system notification he was waiting for and the moment he received it, he didn''t waste any time before checking it out. ''But, why has this stone still didn''t disappeared?'' Until now, Ajax had used so many items simr to the cultivator''sw stone like upgrade stone, sess stone, spirit stones and each one of them would be turned into dust upon using them. However, the cultivator''sw stone was still in his hand and other than the red-coloured of the stone which dimmed a little bit, Ajax didn''t find any major changes on the stone. Nevertheless, he stopped worrying about the cultivator''sw stone in his hands since it was going nowhere; instead, he checked the details on his first cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Cultivator''sw:- Fire devour (level 1) Effect:- Once the cultivator activates thisw, he could devour any kind of fire source within the 10 meters radius around him to temporarily boost his battle prowess. Skill:- Fire st Skill Information:- Once the cultivator devourer the fire energy around, other than temporarily increasing his battle prowess, he could st everything around him within a 10-meter radius. Note:- The power of the st depends on the fire energy devoured by the host. Soon, theplete details regarding the cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' appeared in front of Ajax. ''Che...this is not as useful as I thought.'' However, after checking theplete details of the cultivator''sw, Ajax felt it was not as powerful as he thought it would be. Even though he could increase his battle prowess by devouring the fire energy around him, where would he find such powerful fire energy while flying the powerful enemies? ''No wonder, Master Red was rendered helpless by Master Ren without much difficulty.'' Ajax remembered how Master Ren made Master Red copse to the ground and felt the cultivatorw was just trash. ''Even if I absorb the fire energy from Volcanis and Ignis, it would only tire them out. It would be better if I just let them fight; instead of absorbing their fires.'' This was the thought in his head as he shook his head in disappointment. ''Ding, The host can increase the level of his first cultivator''sw byprehending the insights from the cultivator''sw stone. Just as Ajax was shaking his head, he got a system notification informing him about the cultivator''sw stone in his hands. ''Since it is still a cultivator''sw and I got thew stone and theprehension, I think it is better to increase the level. In the future, if I fight any fire type beings or in fire environments, I can use this cultivator''sw to take care of them.'' ''Also, I don''t know what kind of weird conditions there would be to enter the King realm. So, it is better to have a cultivator''sw as high as possible.'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax came to the conclusion to increase the level of the cultivator''sw he just learned. Soon, Ajax closed his eyes as he held the cultivator''sw stone in his hands and tried toprehend the insights from thew stone. After who knows how long, a few waves of mysterious red-coloured energy slowly flew out of the cultivator''s stone and entered into Ajax''s head. At the same time, he would reveal a slight smile on his face as though he was learning something about the cultivator''sw. ... In the Hellish ogre world. While Ajax was busy increasing the level of his first cultivator''sw, all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were going all out in killing the hellish ogres in that world. To kill all the hellish ogres as soon as possible, all of them were separated and moved in different directions. "Who dares to enter my territory without my permission." From the continuous killing of Ajax''s summons, five 100-meter huge hellish ogres that were almost covered in fires walked out of thevas from five different locations. The hellish ogre world was covered by the volcanoes by 80 percent and among all Ajax''s summons, Volcanis, Ignis and the red and ck kitties were going so well as they killed any who appeared in front of him. "I am going to kill you." The five low-level king realm hellish ogres selected their targets and summoned all their underlings to go after others. The targets of the five King realm hellish ogres were Volcanis, Ignis, Alder, Twilight and Cale. Nevertheless, the five of them were not at all feared. Mainly Volcanis and Ignis because they were fighting in their natural habitat and they felt quite boosted in their strength. There was no surprise in the battles between the three hellish ogres against Alder, Cale and Twilight as they killed a low-level king ream expert on their own in the past. However, Volcanis and Ignis were different as it would be their first time. So, Alder and others were watching it while casually sweeping through the minions of the hellish ogres from time to time. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1143 - Hellish Ogre World In the Hellish ogre world, "Level 4 Fire haven of flying swords and floating asteroids." "Level 2 Celestial fire realm." The moment, Volcanis saw the King realm Hellish ogree out of theva, he immediately activated his elementalws at the same time. As soon as he activated his two elementalws, Volcanis felt very powerful and his confidence to fight the King realm hellish ogre reached the next level. "Fire asteroids." He started with a simple attack as he tested the battle powers of his opponent. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' One of the starting skills of Volcanis had now be so powerful that it could kill anyone below the King realm with a single asteroid; however, there were more than 20 of themnded on the Hellish ogre. ''Looks like it might work.'' Looking at the Hellish ogre in front of him that got some huge holes on its body from his simple attacks, Volcanis felt he could defeat it as long as he used the skills that came with his elementalws. "Fireball" Nevertheless, he was not in a hurry to use them as he wanted to finish the fight with those two skills. So, he used his other simple skills while dodging the attacks of the hellish ogres. ¡­.. On the other side of the Hellish ogre world, "I am going to toy with you for a while before killing you." Just like Volcanis, Ignis was also having fun with a king-realm hellish ogre as he activated his elementalw ''Lightning fire''. However, he kept the main skill for thest as he toyed with the hellish ogre as he trained his other skills. "Okay then. I guess it is enough. Time to wrap up." As though both Ignis and Volcanis were connected, they decided to use their final skills to destroy the King realm, Hellish ogres. "Meteorite of flying swords and floating asteroid." "Celestial engulfer." Volcanis used his two powerful skills that instantly reduced the Hellish ogre into a pile of rocks. "Annihtion." As for Ignis''s elementalw''s skill turned the King realm, hellish ogre, into nothing. "Everyone, let''s wrap up his low-level hellish ogres." With the five King realm hellish ogres gone, the other hellish ogres didn''t stand a chance as they were killed by Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Nevertheless, it still took them a couple of hours toplete the remaining hellish ogres. Overall, topletely clear the Hellish ogre world, it took nearly 10 hours for Ajax''s summons. Even though they would have finished sooner, they were using all their skills instead of just using their powerful skills again and again. So, it took them nearly 10 hours. ¡­.. In the protector castle, Grey dwarf world. Ajax was still sitting cross-legged in the special cultivation chamber as he cultivated his first cultivator''sw. Even though he was not satisfied with it, he could not give up on it and he could still use it in special cases. The red-colour light in the cultivator''sw stone in his hands dimmed a little; however, it would stillst for many a few weeks. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for levelling up his first cultivator''sw to level 2. ''Phew'' Once he got the system notification, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes and looked at the cultivator''sw stone in his hand. ''System, how much time passed since I started cultivating?'' Ajax asked the system as he stood up from the ground while walking out of the protector castle for fresh air. ''Ding, Nine hours 54 minutes and 43 seconds. ''What? It took nearly 10 hours just to reach level 2 for that cultivator''sw?'' Ajax was shocked as he felt it was way too much time for a cultivator''sw that could only be used in special cases. Moreover, when he thought about hisprehension speed being 10 times of what he used to have in the current month, he felt even more disappointed. If anyone hears that he was disappointed for reaching level 2 in a cultivator''sw in nearly 10 hours, they would beat him to death because for a regr cultivator, it takes nearly a year or two. ''Anyway, since a cultivator''sw is important to be a King realm cultivator, I will just cultivate it until the cultivator''sw stone ispletely used up.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t lose interest in cultivating thatw as he suddenly thought something, ''I wonder what is taking them so long?'' It was rted to his summons who went to conquer the Hellish ogre world. Because he thought they would conquer the world in five or so hours; however, it was nearly 10 hours and still, he didn''t get any system notification regarding the conquering. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host as his summons conquered the Hellish ogre world. ''Ding, Do you want to develop the world or destroy the world by taking out the world core? Just as he was wondering about it, the system sent the notification regarding whether he wanted to destroy or develop the world. ''That world is just filled with volcanoes andvas. So, I will just destroy it.'' Ajax already decided to destroy the world as he had not used it for such a world. Even though the fire elemental spirits and the fire spirit beasts could use it for their cultivation, Ajax felt the elemental paradises in his inner world were much better than that. Moreover, he wants the world core to develop the grey dwarf world. ''Time to pick up my reward.'' Soon, Ajax entered the hellish ogre world through the portal and picked the world core without any difficulty beforeing back with his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Everyone, you did well; however, there is another world you still need to destroy; however, I want you to be in your forms before you enter that world." Aftering out of the portal, Ajax praised all his summons a little before asking them to take the rest before going for the next world invasion. Even though Ajax was confident in them invading the obsidian naga world, Ajax wanted everyone to be in their peak state. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." As for the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, they knew why Ajax was asking them to take a rest and nodded their heads. The thing is, in the hellish ogre world, everyone who had the bestialws and elementalws has used them to kill the hellish ogres. So, they can''t use theirws for another 12 to 24 hours depending on their recovery speed. What''s more, the obsidian naga world is a dangerous world because each obsidian naga has thick scales just like the dragons and Ajax''s summons need to be in their full form to kill them. "Also, I am leaving that world to you just like the Hellish ogre world. I hope you will not disappoint me." Soon, Ajax finished his words as he went back into the protector castle, making all the summons surprised. If Ajax was with them, they would easily conquer the obsidian naga world; however, Ajax wanted his summons to do it while he concentrated on his cultivator''sw. **** Monthly target.

"He destroyed another one of my worlds?" The primordial demon emperor opened his eyes from his cultivation as he felt the destruction of the Hellish ogre world. Actually, many smaller worlds in his territory were destroyed and new smaller worlds were born very frequently. So, he didn''t think much when Ajax destroyed the bronze demon world, Dirt troll worlds and other smaller worlds that didn''t contribute much. However, when he felt the destruction of the Shard giant world, one of the strongest smaller worlds in Igunuz''s portion of territory, he was angry. Nevertheless, he didn''t think much because three of his high-level demon kings were in that portion of his territory. So, he felt that humans who were wreaking havoc in this territory would be killed. But who would have thought that he was still alive and destroyed another one of his strongest smaller worlds? ''What the hell are they doing?'' He was frustrated and could not help but curse Jostruth and others; however, he still didn''t know that they were already killed by Ajax by luring into the grey dwarf world. Except for Tagrek, the five high-level demon kings that look after five portions of his territory were killed by Ajax. ''Damn it...looks like I can''t rely on these useless underlings of mine. I will go there by myself and see that human for myself.'' The primordial demon emperor clenched his fists as he stood up from the ground to leave the world and go after Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, a projection appeared in front of the primordial demon emperor that stopped him from leaving the world. The projection belonged to a demon whose body was shining with a golden colour and had golden horns on his head. He was none other than the golden demon emperor. One of the five demon emperors is just like the primordial demon emperor. "Brokas, why are you so angry?" The golden demon emperor asked the primordial demon emperor with an expressionless look on his face. As for the word ''Brokas'' he used, it was the name of the primordial demon emperor. "It''s nothing. Just a routine headache with my underlings who were not doing their tasks properly." Brokas calmed himself down as he replied with a slight smile on his face. However, he didn''t mention about Ajax and the divine dragon that was destroying the smaller worlds on the periphery of his territory. "Haha...I already suggested you not to make your underlings close. Now, look, they were not even taking you seriously." The golden demon emperor felt happy in the primordial demon emperor''s misfortune. "Since you are my childhood friend, I will give you another suggestion. Just kill all your high-level demon kings and it is time for you to select the new ones to look after your territory." Dilgin, the golden demon emperor, stoppedughing as he seriously gave advice to Brokas. "That''s the n." Brokas nodded his head as he felt he had to do the same because he had enough resources to make some powerful high-level demon kings. ''Even though I can instantly make someone be a peak high-level demon king, they can''t think for themselves. Since everyone was doing the same thing, I will also do it.'' As a demon emperor, he had ess to many secret techniques that were prohibited; however, he wanted some underlings that could think for themselves. However, after seeing that they could not even handle a human who was destroying the smaller worlds in his territory and who knows where they were roaming, Brokas decided to use them to create the powerful high-level demon kings to look after his territory. "I will do that." Once he came to that conclusion, Brokas nodded his head at the golden demon emperor before saying, "If there is nothing important, I have something I need to do urgently." Since he wanted to take care of Ajax and his divine dragon on his own, Brokas sounded a little hurried. "Actually, there is something I want to ask you and that''s the reason why I contacted you." The golden demon emperor, Dilgin hurriedly stopped Brokas from leaving as he said, "I want you to support me against Jazzan regarding his greater void demon world to host the Great demonpetition." "Huh?" Brokas looked a little surprised when he heard Dilgin''s words. "Don''t tell me you forgot about today''s meeting? What''s more important than the demon meeting that you actually forget about it?" Seeing the surprised look on Brokas, the golden demon emperor guessed that he forgot about the general meeting of the demon emperors. At the same time, Dilgin inquired Brokas about what made him forget that usual meeting day. "No...no..no." When he heard the golden demon emperor''s words, Brokas became anxious as he knew it would not be a good thing if Dilgin knew about the divine dragon. So, he hurriedly shook his head before saying, "You know how my memory is right? I will just punish my underlings after we finish the meeting." Soon, Brokas tried to divert the matter to his best ability. "Okay." Dilgin shook his head before asking, "So, are you going to support me today? In return, I will give you 10 elemental spirits." Since the undead bronze demon world had not only had an elemental spirit world to it but the undead bronze demon king even tookplete control of the elemental spirit world where he was taming them and sending them to the greater golden demon world. As for the golden demon emperor, he would use them to trade with other demon emperors or even gift them to the spies in the human worlds. "Only 10?" The primordial demon emperor frowned with the reward as he continued, "Dilgin, I will support you even if you don''t give me something in return; however, don''t embarrass yourself or embarrass me by giving me 10 elemental spirits. It is better you don''t give me any." Brokas sounded a little angry as he replied to the golden demon emperor. "Brokas, my friend, it was very hard for these elemental spirits to listen to our words. If you really want them, I will give you 100 or even 1000 but they would just die in your hands." Dilgin exined the problems of taming the elemental spirits into listening to their orders as he ended his speech, "So, tell me, do you want those 100 or 1000 untamed elemental spirits or 10 elemental spirits who would listen to your words?" "Make it 20 and I will give you 10 drops of primordial demon essence." Brokas nodded his head and proposed another deal with the golden demon emperor. "Sure." Dilgin only thought for a moment before nodding his head as he was currently in need of the primordial demon essence that could make the bodies of those who consumed a lot stronger. "Good." Brokas nodded his head as he said, "Okay then, let''s see each other in the special demon realm." As soon as the deal waspleted, Brokas ended the transmission of the golden demon emperor. "Looks like that human is not lucky to die in my hands." With a slight smile on his face, Brokas muttered, ''It is time to send my apostles.'' **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1145 - 100 Demon Apostles Other than the five high-level demon kings under the primordial demon emperor, there were hundreds of demon apostles who have more or less the same cultivation and battle prowess as that of high-level demon kings. However, the only drawback was, they couldn''t think of their own and they were not suitable to manage his territory. Other than that, they would be good for almost everything and more importantly, a mission like hunting the humans. These apostles of his would like it. "I have a mission for you all." Once he thought about sending the demon apostles after Ajax, he started talking to himself as he continued, "Spread out and search for that human. Kill the human and bring back the divine dragon alive." "Yes, emperor." Many voices resounded from various directions; however, all those voices said the same thing. "Also, kill those high-level demon kings of mine who became full of themselves." Suddenly, he thought about the golden demon emperor''s suggestion and decided to give the order to kill the high-level demon kings without any hesitation. As a demon emperor, it was amon thing for him to remove the useless underlings to rece them with useful underlings. "We will finish the task, Emperor." As soon the voices from all the directions finished their words, the primordial demon emperor saw nearly a hundred silhouettes fly into the sky from all directions before flying out of the greater primordial demon world. "Let''s see how you are going to escape from them, human." Looking at the silhouettes of 100 of his demon apostles, Brokas revealed an evil smile on his face as he muttered, "I will finish the meeting with the other demon emperors before searching for the new high-level demon kings to rece my old ones." .... In the grey dwarf world. Ajax waspletely oblivious that the primordial demon emperor had sent 100 of his demon apostles who had the strength of high-level demon kings just to capture him. However, the primordial demon emperor didn''t know that he was just giving too much credit for Ajax who only entered the elite general realm recently. Currently, Ajax was sitting in his special cultivation chamber to go back to his cultivator''sw cultivation. Since Ajax ordered his summons to take rest for today before going for the evil Obsidian naga world. "Tomorrow, I can find the true battle prowess of my summons." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax muttered to himself because as long as his summons could kill all the obsidian nagas in that world, it would prove that they could conquer any smaller world in this universe. "Anyway, it is time to cultivation." He didn''t want to waste theprehension boost he got from the system and decided to cultivate the cultivator''sw. ''However, before that, I will just feed the grey dwarf world''s world core.'' Soon, Ajax thought of something and ordered the system, ''System, send the world core to the grey dwarf world''s world core.'' To Ajax, instead of increasing his cultivation by a single minor realm, it is better to upgrade the grade of the grey dwarf world. ''Ding, The world core of the grey dwarf world consumed the smaller world core. ''Ding, The time required for the grey dwarf world''s world core to be a normal grade world is reduced by 30 days. As soon as he gave the world core, the gluttonous grey dwarf world''s world core devoured it within no time and the time for its upgrade also reduced by half. "As long as I get the obsidian naga world''s world core, I can upgrade it to the normal grade." Ajax was excited about the thought in his head before starting his cultivation. ¡­.. In the endless space of the primordial demon emperor''s territory. The 100 apostles were flying towards the region where Ajax had destroyed the shard giant world and the hellish ogre world at an incredible speed on their magical leaves. However, even with that speed, it would take at least 24 hours for them to reach the area where Ajax was destroying the smaller world. ¡­... Time continued to pass and in a sh 15 hours passed by. In the grey dwarf world, ''Ding, Level 3 cultivator''sw has been achieved. As soon as he heard the system notification, Ajax opened his eyes and he didn''t bother to check the level 3 cultivator''sw; instead, he walked out of the protector''s castle. Because he was waiting for his cultivator''sw to reach level 3. So that he could send his summons to the obsidian naga world. "Looks like everyone is so eager for your next mission." The moment Ajax walked out of the protector castle, he saw all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits were waiting for him and seeing him, everyone stood up. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Everyone nodded their heads excitedly. "Good." Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the second King realm devourer eagle king, Cale and asked, "Cale, you know what to do, right?" "I am waiting for your orders, master." Cale hurriedly nodded his head as he shouted, "Open." Soon, a huge portal opened in front of him. "So, there will be no rules in this invasion. You will enter, kill everyone and return." Soon, Ajax started giving his regr speech as he ended it with an order, "Bring the King realm obsidian nagas bodies." "Yes, master." That order was for the devourer eagle king Alder because he knew what Ajax wanted to do with those bodies and it was to groom another devourer eagle into the devourer eagle king. ''Roar'' Twilight roared at Ajax as though he was dissatisfied with Ajax''s partiality towards the devourer eagle king. "Partiality, my ass. If I gave you the same order, you will bring those bodies in your stomach and don''t want that." Ajax scoffed at the divine dragon as he retorted to Twilight''s words as he continued, "I am focusing on grooming the devourer eagle generals into the devourer eagle kings because only with that, we could conquer more worlds in less time. I hope everyone understands it." It would be not fair for others if he gave all the King realm bodies to the devourer eagle generals without a proper exnation. So, Ajax said about it. "We understand." Everyone except for the divine dragon nodded their heads. "Even if you don''t give any time, we would not say anything or show dissatisfaction regarding it, summoning master." Volcanis walked towards Ajax as he said those words. "Yes, summoning master. You have done so much for us already and conquering these evil worlds, we like it and not expecting any reward for this." "You made us what we are today and we knew you will do the right things and make us even more powerful in the future. So, there is no need for you to inform us about things like these, master." Soon, everyone joined Volcanis as they said a few words on how they felt about Ajax''s ways of giving good items to the devourer eagle generals. "Thank you, everyone." Hearing those words, Ajax felt his heart warm as he said, "The portal is opened. Go and take care of it." **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1146 - Devourer Eagle King Versus Obsidian Naga King In the obsidian naga world. "Damn you...why are you destroying my world?" A king realm obsidian naga with a trident in his hands looked at the devourer eagle king and asked in a serious look. The humanoid spirit beast and the spirit beast, both were injured heavily; however, no one was willing to give up the fight. Beside them, others were fighting; however, no one disturbed them as though they wanted to decide a winner between them. "Why, you ask? Have you ever asked why you toyed with the innocent lives of humans for the sake of your demon king and demon emperor?" Alder didn''t answer the king realm obsidian naga''s questions; instead, he asked him the obsidian naga a question. "Haha..." Hearing the devourer eagle king''s words, the King of the obsidian naga world startedughing as he felt funny with those words. "Do you know what? You don''t have the right to say those words because you are under mymand in one of our demon expeditions. So, you tell me, what are the differences between you and me?" "We both are the same and we both like to kill." The obsidian naga king continuously said one line after another, making Alder fall into a dilemma. ''Puchi'' Within that single moment of his dilemma, the trident in the obsidian naga king''s hands pierced through the devourer eagle king''s left-wing. "Haha...you act all righteous now; however, don''t forget you are as evil as me." ''Puchi'' The obsidian naga king didn''t stop there as he pierced the other wing of the devourer eagle king. ''Screeched'' Feeling the pain from his wings, the devourer eagle king screeched as he angrily looked at the low-level king realm obsidian naga. But, still, he can''t win against the obsidian naga king without the advantage of his wings. So, he could only stare at the obsidian naga king and thought of a n to kill him. Despite the fact that the Obsidian naga king was still in the low-level king realm, he was much more powerful than the devourer eagle king who entered the king realm a month back. "Even though you became a King realm spirit beast, you can''t win against me. Now, it''s time to kill the traitor." With an evil smile on his face, the obsidian naga king aimed his trident at the devourer eagle king''s neck. "ng" However, before the trident could reach his neck, Alder stopped the iing trident with his ws before shouting, "Cale, do it now." ''What?'' The obsidian naga king thought Alder was still in the dilemma regarding his earlier words and didn''t expect to block his attack. What''s more, he even called for some support, which made the obsidian naga king even more furious because ording to the rules, when two King realm experts fight, no one should interrupt them or help them. ''Swoosh'' The obsidian naga king saw a devourer eagle king flying towards him at an incredible speed and he knew he could not use the weapon to block the iing devourer eagle king as his weapon was tightly held by Alder. "So, be it. I will just have to sacrifice my left hand." The obsidian naga king had been to so many invasions and fought thousands of blood rushing fights. So, he was able to think of something within a short time. ''Kacha'' As he thought he used his left hand to stop the iing devourer eagle king; however, as he expected the speed of the devourer eagle king was so high that his left hand turned into pieces. "Just get away from here." While sacrificing his left hands, the obsidian naga king used his tail to smash the devourer eagle king Cale into the distance. "Coward, do you think yourckey will save you just because he is in the king realm?" Even though he lost his left hands, the obsidian naga king didn''t groan in pain as he was a veteran fighter; instead, he mocked the devourer eagle king. ''Haha'' "Huh? Why are youughing?" To the obsidian naga king''s surprise, he heard the devourer eagle king on the ground chuckle and asked him with a confused look on his face. "Devourer" However, the devourer eagle king used the skill rted to his bestial soul and everything within the one-kilometer radius was gobbled by him including the pieces of the obsidian naga king and the blood dripping from his missing arm. "Do you want to answer your earlier question regarding me being a hypocrite?" The devourer eagle king on the ground flew into the sky and the two holes in his wings were mysteriously healed as he asked the obsidian naga king whose face waspletely covered in the shock. "For beings like us, there is no need to think much when ites to killing. At that time, I was under the demon king and followed his orders and now I have a different master and I am following his orders now." There was a proud look in the devourer eagle king''s eyes when he said those words because he epted he was an evil being and followed his master''s order to eliminate the other evil beings. Compared to his past, where he was killing the helpless and low-level human cultivators by sneak attacks, the devourer eagle king liked what he was doing right now. "Also, in this world, there is no good or bad. Only strength matters and now, it is time to end the fight." As soon as he finished his words, the devourer eagle king turned into a sh of light as he pierced through the chest of the obsidian naga king, leaving a big hole in there. ''Damn it...I still need to kill more King realm beings to get the enlightenment into the new elementalw.'' After killing the obsidian naga king, the devourer eagle king shone with a bright gold light for a few seconds before disappearing. In this world, many beings were dying to get a singlew, whether it was a cultivator''sw or bestialw or elementalw or demonicw; however, the devourer eagle king Alder was trying to awaken a third bestialw. If someone listens to his inner words, they would kill him with his looks for sure. "Cale, store the body as it can be used for the third devourer eagle general. Also, collect the other king realm obsidian nagas." Anyway, he kept those thoughts aside as he ordered the devourer eagle king who was sted into the distance earlier to collect the bodies of the obsidian naga kings. Compared to other smaller worlds, this world surprisingly had 30 obsidian naga kings; however, only one of them was very powerful and the devourer eagle king took care of him. "Yes, your majesty." Even though Cale had already be a devourer eagle king, he still treated the devourer eagle king as his king as he nodded his head. By now, Ajax''s summons have taken care of all the other obsidian nagas, leaving a few survivors. "Roar" Just as everyone felt they finished the mission by 99 percent, everyone heard a loud dragon roar and saw the divine dragon was caught in a and a demon king was holding the tightly, making it hard for Twilight to escape. "Where is the human?" **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1147 - Unexpected Incident "Where is the human?" The high-level demon king was none other than one of the demon apostles of the primordial demon emperor. Currently, he has two missions. One was to capture the divine dragon and another one was to kill the human. Since he already captured the divine dragon, only killing the human was left; however, he was unable to find the human anywhere in the nearby surroundings. Moreover, he even checked with his demon senses in the entire Obsidian naga world but found no trace of the human. So, he could only ask the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that were working for the human. "He is in another smaller world." The divine dragon that was roaring for a while now stopped roaring and replied in a calm tone as he continued, "Why don''t you challenge my master? As long as you win I will willingly follow you back and acknowledge you as my new master." "You need to ept my Emperor as your master, not me." If there was Jostruth and the other four high-level demon kings, they would have readily epted the offer because they are not so loyal to the primordial demon emperor. If they could get the divine dragon for themselves, they could betray the primordial demon emperor without thinking for a second. However, these demon apostles were different. In their minds, the primordial demon emperor was the absolute entity in their minds and hearts. "Sure sure." The divine dragon nodded his head as he continued, "So, can you defeat my master?" "Where is your master? Call him." Even though the demon apostles were not good at thinking, they could still make decisions for small things and since the divine dragon will ept the primordial demon emperor as his master as long as he, the demon apostle defeats the divine dragon''s master. "As I said, he is in another world; however, we can enter that world through the portal." The divine dragon once again showed his cunning nature; however, the demon apostle didn''t notice it. "Wait a second. Let me call some backup." Nevertheless, the demon apostle didn''t move from his ce, not because he felt something fishy with the divine dragon''s words. Instead, ording to the basic rules he learned, he should not enter the portals without backup. So, he sent some signal to the other demon apostles and the demon apostles in the endless space searching for the divine dragon and humans received the signal without any problem. "Sure. I will wait. But, can you remove this?" The divine dragon nodded his head; however, he felt ufortable and frustrated being in the and asked the demon apostle to remove it. "No...the rules say I can''t free you until I return back to the Primordial demon emperor." The demon apostle replied to the divine dragon with an emotionless look on his face. ''Damn you.'' The divine dragon was furious; however, he knew it was not the time to mess up? the n as he thought, ''As long as I bring you back to the grey dwarf, not only will my master kill you all but I will get to eat you all...haha.'' When he thought about the meal he would be eating after going back to the grey dwarf world, the divine dragon could not help but inside his heart and decide to endure his current situation. ''At that time, I hope Ajax would not take all my food and give them those devourer eagles. I should at least get half of the carcasses of these demon apostles. I hope there will be more demon apostles as I can get more to eat.'' Even though the divine dragon didn''t know how many demon apostles the demon apostle in front of him had called, he hoped more demon apostles woulde. As for whether Ajax could kill that many demon apostles or not, the divine dragon didn''t worry as he knew as long as Ajax was inside the grey dwarf world, he could almost fight with an emperor not to mention a bunch of high-level kings. ¡­.. While the demon apostle was waiting for his backup, Volcanic contacted Ajax through the voice transmission. When Ajax was not around, Volcanis is in charge of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts because he had a good leader while invading or conquering. ''Master, Twilight got caught.'' Seeing that the situation was still in control, Volcanis informed everything that was happening and where the divine dragon was able to think of a solution. ''He is really bing intelligent and once he bes a King realm divine dragon, he would be more cunning. Thank heavens he is my contracted spirit beast.'' Previously when Ajax learned that the divine dragon stalled Jostruth and other high-level demon kings, while he was taking out the world core and now, he managed to control the situation despite the fact that he was in a special. So, his hopes on the divine dragon reached the next level. ''So, I just have to wait in the grey dwarf world, right? Good.'' After learning everything, Ajax nodded his head as he replied to Volcanis. ''Yes, summoning master.'' Volcanis nodded his head. ''Anyway, to be on the safer side, I will be just outside the portal and if you sense anything bad, just inform me, I will jump into the portal and activate my bloodline.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want to entirely rely on the thought that the demon apostles would be entering the grey dwarf world. As long as he enters the obsidian naga world and activates the abyssal beast god bloodline, their survival chances would be more. Even if his summons were unable to fight, he could summon them all back into the inner world before jumping back to the grey dwarf world. So, Ajax made a backup n and informed Volcanis about it. Time continued to pass and in a sh, four hours passed by before the demon apostle starteding from all the directions. "What are you waiting for without bringing the divine dragon to the emperor." Looking at the divine dragon in the, they were not excited or happy. With the expressionless looks on their faces, they asked the demon apostle who gave a signal to them. "His master is hiding in another world that was connected by that portal." Pointing at the portal, the demon apostle exined everything about the conversation he had with the divine dragon and all the other demon apostles nodded their heads. "Good. We will take care of that human and as for you, bring that divine dragon to the emperor." One of the demon apostles who was a little bigger and stronger ordered the demon apostle who caught the divine dragon to take the divine dragon back to the greater primordial demon world. "Okay." The demon apostle didn''t speak much as he nodded his head and started flying into the sky. "What?" Volcanis and the divine dragon were shocked with the sudden twist and the divine dragon hurriedly shouted, "I want to see my master get defeated. Why don''t we go along with them?" "Shut up." The demon apostle berated the divine dragon as he flew into the sky within no time. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1148 - Trapping The Demon Apostles Until now, the divine dragon and everyone thought the demon apostles would enter the portal along with the divine dragon; however, what they didn''t expect was one of the demon apostles to bring away the divine dragon while other demon apostles entered the portal. "Kill all these elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." The leader of the demon apostles looked at the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and ordered the other demon apostles. "Everyone, enter the portal." Seeing that the things were going south, Volcanis steeled his heart and looked at the divine dragon which was very far into the sky before shouting at all the summons. Currently, there were more than 50 demon apostles in the obsidian naga world and all of them were high-level demon kings. With their current strength, they could barely stop a high-level demon king for a while; however, fighting the 50 of the high-level demon kings would be instant death. Moreover, Volcanis is in charge of the lives of all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. So, he decided to save the lives of many summons; instead of foolishly rushing after the divine dragon. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Soon, all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits rushed into the portal. ''Screech'' The devourer eagle king used his fastest speed to help some of the slow runners like the golden bear kings, Sea Taurus and others, to enter the portal. Since almost all the summons were near the portal, before any of the demon apostles could attack them, they entered the portal without a single scratch on them. "Has everyonee back?" Seeing that all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were rushing back into the grey dwarf world, Ajax guessed that the nning was going without a problem and asked that question to Volcanis. "Summoning? master¡­." Volcanis hesitated a little as he didn''t know what he should say about the divine dragon. "Huh? What happened, Volcanis?" Seeing that Volcanis was hesitating for something, Ajax raised his brows as he felt something was not right and asked Volcanis with a serious look on his face. "Master, one of the demon apostles has taken away the divine dragon and there were more than 50 demon apostles who have the cultivation of high-level king realm,ing towards us." Alder, the devourer eagle king exined the unexpected situation in the obsidian naga world. "What?" Ajax was shocked as he learned about the divine dragon and the scenes of all the moments he had with the divine dragon shed through his head. From the time he got the egg from the system in the Summoner king''s inheritance grounds to the moment where the dragon became a divine dragon...everything shed in his head. "I am going to kill all these demon apostles." Ajax clenched his fists as he looked through the portal and saw a group of high-level demon kings were staring at him from the other side of the portal. ¡­. "Everyone, let''s go and kill him." The leader of the demon apostles saw Ajax through the portal and when noticed that Ajax only had a cultivation of level 1 elite general realm, he didn''t think much as he ordered all the demon apostles to enter the grey dwarf world. "Yes." The 50 plus demon apostles nodded their heads and they felt the same. Since Ajax''s cultivation was only level 1 elite general realm, they could finish the second mission of killing Ajax before going back to the primordial demon emperor. ''No one should attack until all these demon bastards enter the portal.'' Ajax silently transmitted his voice to all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts as he moved away from the portal. The thing is, if Ajax killed the demon apostles before everyone entered the grey dwarf world, it would be a problem because the demon apostles in the back would escape. "Swoosh" Soon, one after another demon apostles entered the world and within no time, more than 50 demon apostles entered the grey dwarf world. However, the number didn''t stop there as more and more demon apostles were entering the grey dwarf world, making Ajax reveal an evil smile on his face. "What are you waiting for without killing that human until I enter this world?" The leader of the 98 demon apostles was speechless when he saw that none of the demon apostles was moving from their ces. So, he thought they were waiting for their orders from him and shouted at them. However, what he didn''t know was, Ajax froze them in their ces and sealed their mouths and senses to contact other demon apostles. So, the demon apostles that were entering the grey dwarf world slowly would still enter the world without a problem. Also, some might think the demon apostles were foolish to blindly enter some other world without knowing their enemy, but the thing is, they knew it was a smaller world and their enemy was just a level 1 elite general realm cultivation along with two low-level king realm spirit beasts. Moreover, there were 99 of them and everyone had a cultivation of high-level king realm. So, they didn''t worry about the unexpected situations in the grey dwarf world. "So, there are a total of 99 demon apostles and including the one that took away Twilight, it will be 100 of them." Once Ajax saw that now more demon apostles were entering the grey dwarf world, he walked to the portal and saw there were no more demon apostles in the obsidian naga world before counting the demon apostles. "I have a deal for you. As long as you order your friends to bring back my divine dragon, I? will let everyone go." Walking towards the leader of the demon apostles, Ajax tried to strike a deal with him. Compared to the 100 high-level demon kings, Ajax cared more about the divine dragon not for its value; instead, Ajax treated it like a brother whom he watched hatch from the egg and grow. "The divine dragon will be noting back no matter what you do...Haha." Ajax allowed the leader of the demon apostles to speak. So, he spoke; however, Ajax didn''t like his words. "Let''s see." Ajax knew it was not going to be an easy task. So, he was patient and pointed his finger at three demon apostles in the distance. "Boom" ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' As soon as Ajax said that world, there were three sts and the three demon apostles that Ajax pointed at earlier, turning into pieces. Nevertheless, Ajax was careful enough not to waste a single drop of blood from the demon apostles bodies as it would help him in grooming the devourer eagle generals. So, he used his protector power to carefully turn all the blood and small pieces into a ball. "Alder, bring those three balls and guide the third devourer eagle general." Ajax didn''t even look at the leader of the demon apostles as he ordered the devourer eagle king. "Yes, master." Alder nodded his head as he followed Ajax''s orders. "So, tell me. The deal is still on for you." **** Read my new book "Sovereign of the Firmaments". **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1149 - Killing Demon Apostles "So, tell me. The deal is still on for you." Slowly, Ajax asked the leader of the demon apostles whether he wanted to take the deal and exchange the lives of the demon apostles for the divine dragon. "Scoff" However, the leader of the demon apostles scoffed at Ajax and his petty tricks as he replied, "The moment we signed up to be the demon apostles, we stopped caring for our lives and as long as our emperor gets the divine dragon, we are more than happy to die for him." Since the primordial demon emperor was the god in the hearts of these demon apostles, they were ready to give their lives; instead of giving the divine dragon back to Ajax. "Huh?" Even though the leader of the demon apostles said those words, Ajax noticed something in his eyes that made him hopeful. ''Looks like I still have the chance of getting Twilight back.'' Once he came to that conclusion, Ajax revealed an even bigger evil smile on his face as he looked at the leader of the demon apostles. "So, let''s begin the game." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax made a shooting action at the demon apostles and every time he pointed at the demon apostle, the demon apostle''s head would be sted like a watermelon. ''Boom'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a demon apostle. Gained 1000 spirit points. ''Boom'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a demon apostle. Gained 1000 spirit points. . . . After every head st, Ajax could get a system notification. Other than the spirit points reward, Ajax didn''t gain any good items. Nevertheless, Ajax was not in a mood toin to the system about the rewards as he continued to st the heads of demon apostles one after another. "So, how about now?" After killing more than a dozen demon apostles in a row, Ajax had got more than 12000 spirit points as he asked the leader of the demon apostles. "As I said already. Just kill us already as we are not going to agree to your deal." The leader of the demon apostles gritted his teeth as he shouted at Ajax; however, Ajax still have a smile on his face. "Sure then. I will resume my killing." Once again Ajax started killing the demon apostles as he got the system notifications in his head. ''Let''s see how long you will put that act as though you didn''t care about your life.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he looked at the leader of the demon apostles after killing a demon apostle to see his reaction. With that reaction on the leader of the demon apostles'' face, Ajax came to the conclusion that he would not keep up that act for much longer. ''Boom'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a demon apostle. Gained 1000 spirit points. ''Boom'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for killing a demon apostle. Gained 1000 spirit points. . . "You are the only one left now. So, I wonder you will be taking my deal." This time, Ajax didn''t ask the leader of the demon apostles until he killed all the demon apostles. "Aargh" Finally, when it was his turn to die, the leader of the demon apostle shouted at the sky as he shouted at Ajax, "Fine. I will agree to your deal as long as you let me go." ''I am not betraying the primordial demon emperor. I just wanted to let the emperor know about Ajax''s talents and his unique elemental spirits along with the contracted spirit beasts.'' The leader of the demon apostle convinced himself that he was not betraying the primordial demon emperor; instead, he felt what he was doing was the right thing to do. "Huh? You agreed?" Ajax was not at all surprised because he already knew that the leader of the demon apostle would definitely agree to his deal sooner orter. Nevertheless, Ajax took this chance to mock him. "Human, stop wasting my time and let me contact the demon apostle who took away the divine dragon." The leader of the demon apostle was frustrated when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he knew he had to endure them until he leave this world. ''Once I leave this world, I will show you what I am capable.'' With that thought in his mind, the leader of the demon apostle closed his eyes as he tried to contact the demon apostle. "You have quite bad luck." However, before the leader of the demo apostle could even contact the demon apostle to bring the divine dragon back, he heard Ajax''s words that made him open his eyes. "Huh? What are you saying?" After he opened his eyes, the leader of the demon apostles asked Ajax while frowning. "Suddenly, I feel like cancelling the deal." With an ear to ear smile on his face, Ajax continued, "There is no need to return the divine dragon. I just feel like killing you." While saying that, Ajax slowly walked towards the leader of the demon apostle, making him quite anxious. "What are you saying? Why the hell did you cancel the deal?" The leader of the demon apostles didn''t understand why Ajax was cancelling the deal all of a sudden and asked about it. "Do I need to exin everything to you?" Ajax scoffed at the demon apostles as he continued, "Since I want to kill you, even your primordial demon emperor can''t save you." With an evil smile on his face, Ajax summoned his protector sword before cing it on the neck of the demon apostle, "I heard the demon apostle will not fear death. Looks like they will also fear death." As soon as he finished, Ajax slowly slid the protector sword into the leader of the demon apostles'' head before beheading him. ''Why?'' This is thest word that the leader of the demon apostles had in his head because it was still a question mark for him. Everything was going fine and the deal would have finished as long as he contacted the demon apostle; however, the human cancelled the deal and without saying any reason, he beheaded him. "Summoning master, why did you kill him?" "What about Twilight?" "How are we going to save the divine dragon?" Volcanis and others hurriedly asked Ajax because the only way to get the divine dragon was by finishing the deal. So, just like the leader of the demon apostles, Ajax''s summons also didn''t understand why Ajax killed the demon apostle. Even though most of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts didn''t like the divine dragon''s overbearing actions, they still feel the divine dragon as their family and they have to protect him. "Don''t worry about the divine dragon." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to his summons who were worried about the safety of the divine dragon and felt warm with their concern. However, he asked them not to worry about Twilight as he looked at the corpses on the ground and ordered, "Keep 50 corpses aside and the remaining corpse will be devoured by the devourer eagles." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax jumped onto a devourer eagle king, "Cale, let''s go." **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1150 - Heavens Are On Ajax’s Side? "Cale, let''s go." Ajax and the devourer eagle king entered the portal as they flew into the sky. ''Has Twilight escaped?'' Even though Cale didn''t know why Ajax killed the leader of the demon apostles all of a sudden, he felt like there might be a good reason for it. At some time, he even thought that the divine dragon might have escaped from the demon apostle''s hand. However, in the next second, he shook his head because escaping from a high-level demon king with the divine dragon''s current strength was impossible. "Roar" Soon, Ajax and Cale heard a dragon roar and after flying for a few seconds, they saw the divine dragon struggling in the golden get. ''Cale, fly faster. Use your advanced eleration bestialw.'' Seeing that the divine dragon was alone in the sky, Ajax urged the devourer eagle king to fly faster. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' With a screech, he activated his bestialw and flew towards the divine dragon within less than a minute. ''Inheritance sword,e out.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned his inheritance sword, he shed it a couple of times and released a few sword waves. ''sh'' ''sh'' The that was trapping the divine dragon open after the sword waves cut the "Twilight, you have not injured anywhere, right?" Ajax hurriedly scanned the divine dragon''s body to check for the wounds while asking whether he was alright or not. "I am not injured at all, master." Twilight felt happy to see Ajax because he thought he would not see him again in his life. Even though Twilight always annoys or irritates or toys with Ajax, because he likes him. So, with eyes that were filled with tears, Twilight replied to Ajax. "Everything is fine now. Let''s get away from here now." Ajax didn''t ask anything about the demon apostle as he hurriedly sent the divine dragon back into the inner world. So that he could recover his energy and rest in the dark elemental paradise. "Cale, let''snd on the ground near the portal." Once he sent the divine dragon back into the inner world, Ajax urged the devourer eagle king tond on the ground as he still had something to finish in this world and it was to pick up the world core of the obsidian naga world. "Sure." The devourer eagle king nodded his head as he asked, "But, master, can you tell me how the divine dragon escaped from the demon apostle even without getting out of the?" Currently, Ajax and Cale was nearly one hundred thousand kilometers or more than that, away from the ground and nearly in outer space. So, it would take at least a few minutes to reach the ground. So, the devourer eagle king Cale curiously asked Ajax how the divine dragon escaped from a high-level demon king without getting out of the. "Haha...the heavens are outside, Cale." In reply to the devourer eagle king''s words, Ajaxughed out loud? and afterughing for a few moments, Ajax exined, "Just when the leader of the demon apostle epted the trade of his life with the divine dragon, I got the voice transmission of Twilight saying that he had sessfully got away from the demon apostle." "He didn''t exin about it to me, either; however, he asked me to enter the obsidian naga world as soon as possible to pick him up, saying that he was extremely tired." Ajax informed about the voice transmission he got from the divine dragon to the devourer eagle king. So, Ajax gave the entire credit to the heavens because what else could it be other than heavens? "Now, I am even more curious, master. When he wakes up, I will be asking about it." Cale increased his speed even more while wondering how the divine dragon escaped from the high-level demon king. "Haha...sure." With a casualugh, Ajax nodded his head and the same thing was going on in his head too. He would be asked the moment the divine dragon returns to its usual yful nature. Until then, he would let the dragon rest in the mini abyss in his inner world. ''Swoosh'' "Cale, keep an eye on the surroundings while I pick up the world core." Within no time, they reached the ground as Ajax jumped off the devourer eagle king and ordered him to stand guard. "Yes, master." The devourer eagle king didn''t know how his master would take the world core, who knows where it lies but guarding his master, he could do it without a problem. So, he nodded his head. "Try your best to kill the enemy and if the enemy is very powerful, warn me through your spirit consciousness." Ajax needed to be in contact with the ground to be able to enter the core realm to pick the world core and if his body was disturbed, then his spirit consciousness would be trapped in the core realm of the world. So, he was serious while saying those words and only after he felt like the devourer eagle king understood the seriousness of the situation, Ajax close his eyes as his spirit consciousness mysteriously appeared in the core realm of the obsidian naga world. ''With this world core, I can sessfully upgrade the grey dwarf world to the normal grade. Hopefully, the trading mirror gets repaired.'' Looking at the world core that was hovering in the center of the core realm, Ajax thought about what he was going to do with the world core. Soon, he started working on taking the world core from the core realm and since Ajax got a good experience in picking up the world cores from the smaller worlds, it didn''t take much time for him to take out the world core before storing it in the system inventory. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully taking out the world core. ''Ding, Please leave this world within five minutes as it will explode after exactly five minutes. As soon as he stored the world core, he got the usual system notifications he would get whenever he stored a world core in his inventory. ''Leave'' With a thought, Ajax''s spirit consciousness disappeared from the core realm that was already covered in cracks. ''Rumble'' Just outside the portal, the devourer eagle king who was standing guard for Ajax felt the rumbling beneath him. ''Looks like the master has sessfully taken out the world core.'' Without a doubt, the devourer eagle king was sure about it as he saw Ajax open his eyes. "Cale, let''s go." As soon as Ajax opened his eyes, he ordered the devourer eagle king while he rushed towards the portal. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax and the devourer eagle king jumped out of the portal and Ajax ordered, "Cale, close the portal now." Since they rescued the divine dragon and retrieved the world core of the obsidian naga world, there was no need for them to still keep that portal open. Moreover, the world could be destroyed soon enough and all the debris would being through the portal. So, Ajax asked Cale to close the portal. "Now, it is time to upgrade this world." **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1151 - Good Harvest "Now, it is time to upgrade this world." Since he got the smaller world core with him, Ajax didn''t want to waste any time. "Everyone, Twilight is safe and he is currently resting in the inner world. So, don''t worry." Nevertheless, he didn''t forget to inform his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts about the divine dragon. ''What?'' ''He is back?'' ''He has been saved?'' Everyone was surprised and soon, they became excited as they felt relieved with that news and started thinking how their master saved the divine dragon. Even though their master nearly had the strength of an emperor realm cultivator when he was in the grey dwarf world, he was just a level 1 elite general realm cultivator in the outside world where he could fight weak low-level king realm experts with his bloodlines and weapons daos. As for Cale, the devourer eagle king who went with Ajax back into the obsidian naga world to bring back the divine dragon was just a low-level king realm spirit beast that just entered the King realm yesterday. So, he didn''t have enough battle prowess to fight a high-level demon king. So, they were curious about it. "I know what you are all thinking about; however, I don''t have an answer for it now." It was very easy for Ajax to understand what his summons was thinking. So, before one of his summons could ask about it, Ajax replied to them. "Currently, the divine dragon needs some rest. So, let''s allow him to rest and ask him about how he escaped from the high-level demon king after he recovers." "Okay, master." "We will wait until Twilight recovers, summoning master." With Ajax''s words, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads as they knew recoveryes first. "Good." Ajax nodded his head as he continued, "So, why don''t you all rest now. If there is any world invasion, I will leave it to you as you are more than capable of taking care of your own." "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts became excited when they heard Ajax''s words and hurriedly nodded his head. Earlier, in the obsidian naga worlds, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts had a lot of fun. They wanted more and since Ajax promised them, they were of course excited and happy about it. Soon, everyone left to settle in the grey dwarf world. Even though the grey dwarf world''s essence of nature was not as good as the essence of nature in the inner world or the elemental paradises, they liked living in the grey dwarf world and felt free. So, they decided to live in the grey dwarf world until they get tired of the outside world and when they get tired of this world, they would enter the inner world to focus on their cultivation. "Alder, can you give me the rough calction of the King realm corpses we have with us now?" Ajax walked towards the devourer eagle king who was guiding the third devourer eagle general to be a devourer eagle king and asked about the corpses they got from the earlier invasion. "Master, we have 50 obsidian naga king corpses who had the cultivation of low-level king realm and adding to the 99 demon apostles'' corpses who had the cultivation of high-level king realm." The devourer eagle was finally excited about the haul they got from this time once he found out that the divine dragon was safe and sound. So, he hurriedly exined everything to Ajax. "Looks like we have enough for all the devourer eagle generals to be the King realm spirit beasts." With an excited smile on his face, Ajax said those words and continued saying, "Store 50 high-level demon apostles'' carcasses aside for the divine dragon." "Use the obsidian naga kings'' corpses for the devourer eagle generals and you can use the high-level demon kings'' corpses to increase your bestial soul." Ajax gave the orders to the devourer eagle king Alder as he nned to help all the devourer eagle generals to be the devourer eagle kings. "Thanks, master. I will devour the corpses only after all the devourer eagle generals be the devourer eagle kings." Since the devourer eagle generals were close to him, the devourer eagle king didn''t mind giving his share to them if they didn''t manage to break through into the king realm. So, he decided to help them first before focusing on his cultivation. "Don''t worry. There is enough for everyone to increase your cultivation. So, I am expecting you to reach mid-level king realm and all the devourer eagle generals should be devourer eagle kings." Ajax replied to the devourer eagle king with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, master." Alder nodded his head and agreed with Ajax. As for the 50 high-level demon kings'' corpses, Alder knew why Ajax was saving them; however, he didn''t feel any jealousy or envy towards the divine dragon because if not for his timely wits, then they would have not killed 99 demon apostles. Moreover, Alder felt, 49 demon apostles'' corpses are more than enough for him and his devourer eagle generals to break through their current cultivation. "Okay then. I will meet youter." Soon, Ajax left that ce and entered the protector castle. ''System, give the smaller world core in the inventory to the grey dwarf world''s world core.'' Once he entered the protector castle, Ajax asked the system to send the world core in his inventory. ''Ding, The world core of the grey dwarf world consumed the world core. ''Ding, Its upgrade to the normal world of the grey dwarf world was reduced to one day. The gluttonous grey dwarf world consumed the smaller world''s world core in a second just like always as Ajax got the two system notifications in his head. ''What? Still a day for it you upgrade?'' Ajax was a little disappointed because he was expecting the grey dwarf world to upgrade to the normal world directly; however, he could understand that upgrading from a smaller world to a normal grade world was a big process. ''Since it is only a single day, I think I can take the rest for a while before checking on the preparations for the weapon refining contest.'' Ajax remembered about the contest that would start tomorrow morning and he decided to rest for tonight. With that thought in his head, Ajax went to sleep. ¡­.. In the greater primordial demon world. Currently, the primordial demon emperor Brokas was in a meeting with the remaining four demon emperors. As for the location they were in, it was a small realm that was only 100 meters in radius as all five demon emperors were sitting in a circr manner. "So, in whose territory shall we conduct this century''s great demonpetition? Is it in the Golden demon emperor''s or Great void emperor''s? Freely raise your voice to support one of them." The astral demon emperor Xareth asked the other demon emperors in a serious voice. ''Huh?'' However, at the same time, Brokas sensed something that made him clench his fist as he muttered, ''Another powerful smaller world is gone just like that?'' **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1152 - Gathering Of The Demon Emperors ''Another powerful, smaller world is gone just like that?'' The primordial demon emperor was feeling so much frustrated when he sensed that the obsidian naga world, which was the strongest world among all the smaller worlds in his territory, got destroyed. ''What the hell were these demon apostles doing?'' Brokas clenched his fists as he thought about all the smaller worlds in his territory that were destroyed recently. Devourer eagle king world, Shard giant world, Hellish ogres world and now, the obsidian naga world. Even though there were some other smaller worlds that got destroyed like the Bronze demon world and Dirt trolls world, Brokas didn''t care about them because they were weak smaller demon worlds without much force. However, the same thing can''t be said to the four smaller worlds because they were good cannon fodder that could cause a lot of damage before the actual demon forces invade the worlds. So, he cursed the demon apostles whom he sent out to take care of that human. "Brokas, which world are you going to vote for this century''s Great demonpetition?" While Brokas was thinking about the human who was destroying the smaller worlds in his territory, he was interrupted by the Astral demon emperor, Xareth. "Huh?" Controlling his anger, the primordial demon emperor came out of his thoughts and looked at the four demon emperors in front of him. "I support the Golden Demon Emperor." Since the golden demon emperor had already promised him some good gifts, the primordial demon emperor didn''t hesitate to support the Golden demon emperor. "Golden demon emperor gets three votes and Great void emperor gets two votes." Soon, the Astral demon emperor announced the results of the voting as he continued, "So, this century''s ''Great demonpetition'' will be in the Greater Gold demon world." "Thank you, Xareth and Brokas." The golden demon emperor already knew he would be winning the voting; however, there was a small doubt because if the Great void emperor promised them something, Xareth and Brokas would not hesitate to change sides. So, he thanked both the demon emperors. As for the Great void demon emperor and the Nether demon emperor shook their heads with bitter looks on their faces. ''Didn''t I say the gold demon emperor will win no matter how much you try?'' Nether demon emperor Iozzos transmitted his voice to the Great void demon emperor, Jazzen. ''Let it be, Iozzos. The next century''s great demonpetition will be mine without giving anything to others.'' It was a known fact that the golden demon emperor, Dilgin was the richest among all the demon emperors and if he wanted to get something done, he would easily get the support of other emperors by promising good things. But, the great void demon emperor didn''t want to give up without trying; however, he was not sad for losing as he thought about the brighter side. ''Do you know about this time''s speciality, right?'' Iozzos shook his head and hearing that, Jazzen also shook his head as he couldn''t do anything about it. "So, let''s begin the exchange now." Once the voting was finished, the golden demon emperor was happy as he proceeded to the second event of today''s meeting. "I want some tamed elemental spirits in exchange, I will let some of your talented young demons enter my ''Astral demon pool'' to cultivate." The astral demon emperor was waiting for the exchange event and once he heard the golden demon emperor''s words, he said what he wanted and what he would be giving in return. "I will give theher demon fire that could help in tempering the bodies of even king realm experts. In exchange, I want the same thing as the Astral demon emperor." Next, it was the Nether demon emperor, who said those words to the golden demon emperor. Even though it was called an exchange, it was basically the golden demon emperor, who sells the tamed elemental spirits under him to the other demon emperors. "Sure. Let''s discuss the prices." The golden demon emperor was more than happy to exchange those tamed elemental spirits for the specialities that were only avable in the other demon emperors. The thing is, the demons could not be the elemental spirit summoner and the only way they could do it was by using the summoning crystals. So, there were very few summoners among the demons. However, they became hopeful with a mutated smaller world and got an elemental spirit world of its own and some thought it was because the world''s owner was a summoner and some believed the ''Demon God'' was helping their race. Nevertheless, what all the demons cared about was to get their hands on the elemental spirits to be the summoner. As for the golden demon emperor, that world was under his control and he was careful in not exchanging the rare and high-potential elemental spirits to others as he kept them for himself because he didn''t want other demon emperors to be so powerful with their elemental spirits. "I will take my leave now." However, the primordial demon emperor was not in a mood to buy more elemental spirits from the golden demon emperor because there was a human in his territory that was destroying his smaller worlds. And he could not talk about the human because the same human was having the divine dragon. Also, the golden demon emperor had already promised him the elemental spirits for supporting him. So, of course, he didn''t mind leaving the special meeting realm. He didn''t wait for other emperors to say anything as he directly left from there. "What''s with Brokas? Why is he leaving so soon?" "It is rted to his underlings." "We already know how it will end if he trusts the high-level demon kings who reached that level without our secret cultivation techniques." "Looks like he will try our way this time." "Anyway, let''s not talk about it; instead, let''s focus on the exchange." After the primordial demon emperor left the special meeting realm created by the Astral demon emperor, the other demon emperors talked about him before focusing on the exchange. "Swoosh" Soon, Brokas appeared in his world as he shouted, "Brother, where are you?" ''Rumble'' As soon as he called, the ground below the primordial demon emperor shook a little as a huge primordial demon came out of the ground. He looked just like any other primordial demon; however, his size was more than 100 meters as he asked, "Brother, you need me for anything?" "Brother, shall we go hunting? It''s been so long since we had one together." With a slight smile on his face, Brokas asked the huge primordial demon emperor. "Of course, I would love that." Hearing Brokas''s words, the huge primordial demon who had the cultivation of the emperor''s realm excitedly nodded his head. "It''s your favourite prey, a human; however, he is so far away from us. So, I would like brother Trokas to apany me for that hunt with his flying magic leaf." Brokas exined everything because he wanted that flying magic leaf of his brother. "Sure, let''s go." Trokas nodded his head as he summoned a huge magic leaf and flew out of the Greater primordial demon world at an incredible speed. **** Monthly target.

Ajax didn''t have a slight clue that two demon emperors wereing for him and as he woke up from a good night''s sleep. Despite the fact that nothing happens to him even if he didn''t sleep for a whole month, Ajax just wanted to sleep because he could not cultivate just by circting his main cultivation technique. Instead of worrying about the things all the time, Ajax decided to stop worrying about them because he would be having many devourer eagle kings soon and his main worry of not able to travel multiple worlds would be solved. ''I think it will break into the king realm after a couple of days.'' Since the devourer eagle generals were only ordered to eat the low-level obsidian naga king corpses, it would naturally take them some time. As for the high-level demon kings'' corpses, they were stored for the divine dragon and the devourer eagle king who was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-level king realm. "There are still some 12 hours for the grey world to upgrade into a normal grade world." Checking the time, Ajax knew the world still required 12 hours to upgrade. So, he decided to check the nearby dwarf towns because the weapon refining contest would be starting soon. With that thought in his mind, Ajax freshened up as he flew to the nearby dwarf town. ¡­.. In one of the dwarf towns. "Who do you think will win this contest from our town?" "Who else? Other than Elmnol, there is no one among the young generation that would win this contest?" "What about Mozma and Bulum? They were also not bad and can give goodpetition." "Yeah, butpared to them, Elmnol has good weapon refining skills and he even has the potential to reach the Emperor level weaponsmith just like Rurbeak." "Hey...hey. You are giving a high evaluation for a kid that never refined a Heaven grade weapon once; however, Mozma and Bulum had refined the low-level heaven grade weapons multiple times." "He will refine a weapon only when he has 100 percent confidence that he will be sessful." Before Ajax could reach the nearby dwarf town, the weapon refining contest for the young dwarves had started and everyone was looking at the young dwarves that were refining the weapons. Since he was the protector of the grey dwarf world, Ajax was able to hear the conversations of the elders of the town he was nning to enter even before he could enter. ''That''s right! I didn''t say what they would have to do if there were multiple young dwarves that showed good weapon refining skills.'' Hearing the conversation of the elders from a distance, Ajax thought of a problem and while thinking of a solution for the problem, he entered the town on his ancient protector sword. "Everyone, the protector is here. Show your respects." One of the old dwarves, who seemed to be the town leader, shouted at everyone as he fell to his knees and said, "Greetings, protector." "Greetings, protector." Following the town leader''s actions, the rest of the grey dwarves fell to their knees as they greeted Ajax with a respectful look on his face. Other than the young dwarves who was too focused on refining the weapons, almost everyone greeted Ajax. "Hello everyone, you can stand up and continue watching the contest." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked them to stand. If it was the old Ajax, he would have been not sofortable with so many people kneeling in front of him; however, things changed as he got used to things like these. In the past, he felt people only fell to their knees while greeting others because of fear; however, during his journey, he learned that it was a way of showing respect in many tribes and races like grey dwarves. "Thank you, Protector Ajax." While thanking Ajax, everyone stood up as they created a path for Ajax to walk nearly to the contest. So that he could see it more clearly. ''Tap'' ''Tap'' Ajax walked to the front as he started walking the young dwarves refining the low-level heaven grade weapons. The winner will be decided on who will refine a low-level heaven grade weapon in the shortest possible time. Also, each individual will be given three chances because even a King realm weaponsmith only has a 99 percent sess rate in refining the heaven grade weapons not to mention a few young dwarves who rarely refined low-level heaven grade weapons. ''No wonder, the grey dwarves excel in the weaponsmith.'' Looking at the same but strong bodies of the young dwarves, Ajax nodded his head as he got the full rity because it was his first time watching a grey dwarf refining a weapon in front of him. ''I think I should change my n of grooming 100 grey dwarves.'' For the entire time, Ajax was thinking about the problem he had in his head regarding the multiple young genius grey dwarves and he found a simple solution. ''Instead of one winner, why don''t I announce three winners?'' Once he thought about it, Ajax started thinking about the pros and cons of his slight modification in his original n. ''Other than the fact that it would cost more resources to train 300 grey dwarves for weapon refining, I can''t think of any disadvantages.'' Ajax didn''t think of a single dwarf town for the modification in his n; instead, it was for all the 100 grey dwarf towns. So, taking three winners from each town, it would be 300 grey dwarves, he had to focus on grooming. So, of course, it would cost him three times the resources he needed from his original n. ''Since I will be having more devourer eagle kings under my control, I can explore more worlds, in return, I can gather more resources lke rare metals and other things.'' Even though it would cost him a fortune to groom three grey dwarves, when Ajax thought about the eight more devourer eagle kings, he didn''t feel it was much of a problem for him. Although he said that he would be exploring more worlds, it was more like either destroying or conquering them. ''Moreover, with more grey dwarves to groom, thepetition will be more and they will take the training very seriously.'' Ajax thought there would be more and more advantages for training the 300 young grey dwarvespared to the 100 of them. So, he finalized his decision to choose three winners from each town during the contest. ''Instead of one, pick three winners from this contest; however, keep it as a secret until you announce the results.'' Ajax felt he had watched enough of the contest and more or less knew the three winners of the contest. So, he decided to leave. However, he didn''t forget to say about the change in the contest rules to the town leader. ''Huh?'' The twon leader was surprised to hear Ajax''s words in his head and looked at Ajax before slightly nodding his head as though he understood what he had to do. ''Good. I am leaving now.'' Ajax left the town as he flew to each and every town on his protector sword. ''Roar'' All of a sudden, Ajax felt a roaring from the inner world, making him excited. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1154 - Internal Fights Are Common Everywhere Even though going from one dwarf town to another just to inform the town leaders about the change in the contest rule, seemed a little trouble, Ajax didn''t feel anything; instead, he felt like it was fun. Moreover, he could get to see how different dwarf towns were doing because he was the protector, he needed to check it. However, before he could move towards his third dwarf town, Ajax heard a roar from the inner world that made him stop in his tracks. ''Looks like he finally woke up.'' The roar belonged to none other than the divine dragon and with an excited look on his face, Ajax summoned him out of the inner world. Whenever the divine dragon feels excited or angry, he would roar to his heart content to let his emotions out. "So, are you happy or angry?" Even though it was obvious that the divine dragon was extremely happy for some reason, he still asked the dragon with a slight smile on his face. "I am happy." Using his huge wings, Twilight pulled Ajax to himself as though he was hugging him. "Are you nning to kill me or what?" After letting the divine dragon hug him for some time, Ajax said to the divine dragon to annoy Twilight. ''p'' However, Ajax was pped by the divine dragon''s wing for his words. "So, what do you think?" Twilight asked with a funny look on his face. "It''s great that you are back without any harm." Ajax decided not to make jokes with the divine dragon anymore and slowly diverted the topic. "Roar" Spreading his wings, the divine dragon roared at the sky as though he was giving a pose to the heavens. "Stop posing and tell me why you are extremely happy? Did you have enlightenment?" Ajax asked while maintaining some distance away from the divine dragon. "I heard you stored 50 high-level demon kings'' corpses for me before going to sleep. So, when I woke up now, I remembered about it and I was excited about my meal." The divine dragon exined to Ajax the reason for its excitement. ''...'' Ajax was speechless when he heard the reason for the divine dragon''s excitement and happiness and muttered, ''So, he was spying on my conversation with Alder to see whether I will be saving his share of demon apostles'' corpses.'' When he thought about it, Ajax didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry at the divine dragon. So, he didn''t say anything in reply to the divine dragon''s words. "So, where did you store my meal?" The thing is, Twilight was hoping to break into the king realm by consuming the 50 corpses of the demon apostles. So, he couldn''t wait to eat them. "Sigh" Seeing that the divine dragon was only focused on eating, Ajax could not help but sigh; however, when he thought about how powerful his divine dragon might be after consuming the 50 demon apostles, Ajax felt a little excited. "All the corpses are with Alder. You can find him and take your share of the demon apostles'' corpses." Soon, Ajax informed the divine dragon about the corpses and asked, "By the way, how did you escape from the demon apostle?" It was not only Ajax''s doubt but all his summons wanted to know the answer to this question. So, Ajax hurriedly asked it because he knew the divine dragon would fly away to find his meal. "There was a high-level primordial demon king that stopped the demon apostle who was taking me away. Before I could realize it, the demon apostle started fighting the primordial? demon king." Soon, the divine dragon exined how he escaped from the demon apostle as he continued, "While they were fighting, the demon apostle was distracted a little. Taking that as an opportunity, I started flying towards the ground along with the magical before contacting you." "Another high-level primordial demon king?" Ajax raised his brows as he didn''t understand why would a high-level demon king fight the demon apostle when both were the primordial demons and work for the primordial emperor. ''Looks like internal fights were not limited to humans...haha.'' However, Ajax soon remembered how Jostruth and other high-level demon kings fought among themselves, Ajax concluded it as another internal fight between the two high-level demon kings. "Anyway, I am getting benefitted from their internal fights." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face because he didn''t care why they would fight among themselves as long as he benefited from it. "Master, I will leave now." Soon, Ajax heard the divine dragon''s words and nodded his head. It was already a surprise that he stayed back to reply. So, he didn''t take any more of his time. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the divine dragon flew towards the devourer eagle king who was guiding the devourer eagle generals in devourer the king realm corpses near the protector castle. ''Since there are still 10 more hours left for the world to get upgraded to the normal world, I will cover all 100 dwarf towns.'' So far, he only covered two dwarf towns and that leaves him with 98 more dwarf towns. So, he decided to fly on his ancient protector sword. ...¡­ 14 hours back, In the outer space of the obsidian naga world. "Tagrek, you disappointed the primordial demon emperor by your work. Moreover, you attacked me, who was currently on an important mission." The demon apostle who took away the divine dragon angrily said to the fifth high-level demon king under the primordial demon emperor. "Stop speaking nonsense. The emperor betrayed me and the other four demon kings under him by sending you to kill us." Target was so angry looking at the demon apostle as he rushed towards with two legend grade short swords in his hands. "I don''t know what you are talking about, Tagrek." Even though the demon apostle didn''t know whether the other demon apostle killed the other high-level demon kings or not, he acted like he didn''t know anything. Other than the two missions ''Killing the human'' and ''Bring the divine dragon'', the demon apostles had a side mission and it was to kill the five demon kings. "I know everything and how the primordial demon emperor wanted you to kill us as he thinks we are not useful to him anymore." He didn''t want to attack Tagrek as he wanted to send the divine dragon back to his emperor; however, who would have thought that Tagrek learned about their side mission and started attacking him, which made him release the divine dragon. "Since it hase to this, let''s fight." Soon, the demon apostle and Tagrek started fighting until the obsidian naga world was sted into tiny debris. ''Aargh'' Since they were in outer space, they were able to escape the huge st; however, the debris caught them as their entire body was covered in injuries. "Damn it...how can this world be destroyed?" The demon apostle was shocked looking at the empty space where the obsidian naga world used to be. ''Puchi'' However, before he could think about it, a short sword pierced through his throat as Tagrek spoke. "Don''t lose your focus amidst a fight." **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1155 - Arrival Of The Demon Emperors In the grey dwarf world. ''This is thest dwarf town that''s left for me to visit and inform about the change of rules.'' Ajax was flying on his ancient protector sword as he looked at the distant dwarf town. For thest four hours, Ajax was flying on his ancient protector sword from one town to another as he informed the town leaders about the change of rules. ''This town belongs to Rurbeak, right?'' Ajax still remembered the first time he was teleported to the grey dwarf world as he visited the nearby dwarf town which he was once again visiting now. Even though he didn''t have much of an opinion on this dwarf town, as a protector, he should not make things difficult for this town. ''They were weak and fearful by nature. So, they didn''t help Rurbeak when he needed them.'' Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the events that happened in the past in the town. "As expected, Rurbeak won the contest by refining a mid-level heaven grade weapon in his first try itself." "There was no need for this contest in our town as we already knew Rurbeak would win it already." . . . All the town members were praising Rurbeak and started bootlicking to be in good books. However, what they didn''t know was no matter how much they praise or bootlick him, he would be not doing any favours for them. "Lurmer, other than Rurbeak, pick another two participants who performed well in the contest." Just as Lurmer was about to send everyone away, Ajaxnded beside Lurmer as he ordered Lurmer. "Protector Ajax." Seeing the sudden appearance of Ajax out of nowhere, everyone fell to the knees as they greeted him just like any other town resident. "Okay, master." As for Lurmer, he didn''t kneel; instead, he bowed to show respect as he nodded his head before picking two young dwarves who performed very well. "You two will be second and third ce winners of today''s weapon refining contest." Soon, Lurmer picked two young dwarves, making them excited because they were not expecting to win in this contest because of Rurbeak. "Everyone, stand up." Ajax asked everyone to stand up before saying, "There will be an important event in six hours and I want everyone toe to my castle." "Everyone means everyone including toddlers, women, old and handicapped." Ajax ordered everyone before leaving the town on his ancient protector sword. ''What?'' Everyone was confused with Ajax''s words; however, they nodded their heads and didn''t have a problem going to the protector''s castle. "Hey, Rurbeak, do you know what event it is?" Soon, some of the young dwarves asked Rurbeak because Rurbeak was the follower of Protector Ajax and they hoped he would have some insider information. ''...'' However, Rurbeak didn''t have a single clue about the event. So, he shook his head and left for his room. The same thing happened with Lurmer as everyone asked about the event; however, Lurmer was just like Rurbeak, shook his head before going to his room to take some rest before going to the protector castle. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he was flying towards the protector castle as he muttered, ''It will be a nice surprise for everyone when they see the upgradation of the grey dwarf world with their own eyes.'' The event Ajax talked about was none other than the upgradation of the grey dwarf world to the normal grade and as the inhabitants of the grey dwarf world, Ajax wanted everyone to see it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he could see the devourer eagle kings and the devourer eagle generals who were all munching on the obsidian naga king corpses. "Alder, how much longer will it take for them to break into the king realm?" Even though Ajax guessed that it would take a couple of days, he wanted to know the answer from the devourer eagle king. "In another 10 or so hours, the third devourer eagle general might break into the king realm, master." Alder replied as he continued, "After that, everyone one will start breaking into the king realm with an hour two gap." "So, overall, it would take around 24 hours, master." Alder gave the rough approximation of the breakthrough of the devourer eagle generals. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head as he informed, "By the way, in less than six hours, this world will be upgraded into a normal world. If you want to see the process, you can fly to the protector castle." Pointing at the protector castle which was a couple of kilometers away from their current location, Ajax said in a little louder voice. So that the divine dragon that was consuming its meal along with the devourer eagle generals, could hear his words. "Sure. I need a little break from eating all these. So, I will definitelye there to watch." The divine dragon paused his eating as he looked at Ajax and replied before resuming its eating. "..." Ajax was speechless with the divine dragon''s words as he silently thought, ''You are a divine dragon, not a devourer dragon.'' However, he didn''t say it out loud as he said his goodbyes before leaving from there. ''I will be waiting here for the next five hours.'' While saying that, Ajax took out the cultivator''sw stone and started cultivating while sitting in his special training hall. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and in a sh five more hours passed by. In the endless space, "Brother Brokas, looks like that human is more arrogant than I thought." The huge primordial demon emperor Trokas looked at the debris of the obsidian naga and said to Brokas with an angry smile on his face. "We will let him know that he messed with the wrong demons." Brokas was also angry looking at the debris. Even though the obsidian naga world was just a smaller world, Brokas was frustrated with the continuous destruction of the smaller worlds in his territory. So, he came out personally to take care of it as his apostles or demon kings were useless in killing that human. "Brother, look, except for that small grey dwarf world, all the worlds around it were destroyed. Do you think there is something wrong with it?" Even though Trokas didn''t have much thinking power, the grey dwarf world was clearly visible from their location and there were no other worlds, making him suspicious. "I don''t think humans will be foolish enough to hide in that world." However, Brokas felt it was not possible; however, he continued to say, "Let''s go and see." He didn''t want to take any chances and decided to check the grey dwarf world. "Huh?" Just as they flew a free thousand kilometers, the primordial demon emperor sensed a familiar presence and asked the Trokas to stop the magic leaf. "Brother, is something wrong?" Trokas asked Brokas with a confused look on his face. "There is a rat hiding nearby, let''s go and have a small chat before entering the grey dwarf world." With an evil smile on his face, Brokas asked Trokas to fly in a specific direction. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1156 - [Bonus ]Intelligent Tagrek Somewhere in the endless space, ''Damn it...these mindless demon apostles are more powerful than us, the demon kings.'' Tagrek was flying in the endless space on his magic leaf whale cursing the demon apostle just a few hours ago. ''Before the emperor sends more of his demon apostles, I need to get away from this territory and take shelter in the Great void emperor''s territory.'' In his current situation, even a low-level king could kill him. So, he just wanted to get away from the primordial demon emperor''s world. As for why he chose the Great void demon emperor''s territory to take shelter was because everyone knew the primordial demon emperor and the great void emperor was not on good terms from the beginning. If not for the fact that the human emperors were bing too powerful, the other demon emperors were stopping them from fighting until they killed a couple of human emperors. Also, as for why the Great void demon emperor would give him shelter was because he was nning to inform about the divine dragon along with other secrets of the Primordial demon emperor. ''But, I need to escape from this territory.'' Even though he was exhausted, he poured more of his demonic essence of nature as the fuel to speed up the magic leaf. "Well well well, isn''t that your loyal demon king?" All of a sudden, Tagrek heard a familiar voice that made him anxious as he knew whose voice was that and increased the speed of the magic leaf even more by using the demonic blood essence. "You think you can escape after betraying me?" There was another familiar voice and as soon as that voice ended a silhouette appeared behind Targek, standing on the magic leaf. "You bastard. It is you who betrayed us when we are doing everything you asked us to do." Tagrek knew that he could not escape because the silhouette belonged to none other than the primordial demon emperor. At first, he was shocked why the emperor himself came out of his world just to hunt the human; however, after remembering the destruction of the obsidian naga world, Tagrek felt that humans must be very powerful leaving the emperor no choice but toe for himself. "That''s right! So what?" The primordial demon emperor didn''t bother to listen to Tagrek''s nonsense as he pierced Tagrek''s chest to bring out the heart before destroying it. "Brother Trokas, let''s go." Once he finished killing Tagrek, Brokas appeared on Trokas''s shoulders as he asked his brother to fly towards the grey dwarf world. "Okay." Trokas raised his eyebrows when he heard Tagrek''s words; however, he still nodded his head as he followed his brother''s orders. "Brother, is it true that you ordered the demon apostles to kill the five demon kings working for you?" Along the way, Trokas asked Brokas after some hesitation. Even though Trokas couldn''t think much, he knew there was something his brother was not telling him. So, he asked about it. "Sigh" Brokas sighed at Trokas''s question as he replied, "There is a divine dragon with that human and the five high-level demon kings that look after my territory tried to covet it. So, what do you think I should do?" "Kill anyone who disrespects the emperor''s orders or betrays him." At first, Trokas was shocked when he found out there was a divine dragon in this territory and he was angry when he learned that the demon kings he trained wanted to covet the divine dragon from his brother. "That''s why I ordered my demon apostles to kill them; however, my main mission for them was to kill the human and capture the divine dragon." Brokas replied as though he did a favour to the five demon kings by not actively hunting them. Moreover, Brokas thinks that his demon apostles must have killed the other four high-level demon kings and Tagrek must have escaped with several injuries. However, what he didn''t know was it was Ajax who not only killed the four high-level demon kings, but he also killed 99 of his demon apostles. Just like how Ajax was ignorant that the primordial demon emperor was close to the grey dwarf world, the primordial demon emperor was clueless that all the demon apostles he sent to hunt Ajax were killed by Ajax instead. "Brother, you need to get that divine dragon and be the demon emperor from the prophecy." As a powerful demon emperor himself, Trokas knew about the prophecy; however, he never cared about the power and that''s the reason why he didn''t fight with Brokas for the territory and let him have the territory and the army. As for him, he was freely venturing into smaller and normal human worlds and destroying them for fun and rested in the greater primordial demon world. "As long as you support me just like always, we can dominate this entire ''Cluster'', Brother Trokas." Brokas was really d to have a brother like Trokas who unconditionally supported him. "No problem." Trokas revealed a slight smile on his face as he sped up his magic leaf towards the grey dwarf world. .... A few thousands of kilomters away from the border of the Primordial demon emperor''s territory, an injured Tagrek could be seen flying on his magic leaf at an incredible speed. ''Damn it...he destroyed my demon avatar. I need to get out of this territory before he could find out that I fooled him.'' Tagrek used his demon avatar as a decoy to escape from the other demon apostles because he knew the primordial demon emperor would not send just a single demon apostle for any mission. There would be at least 100 of them and sometimes, he would even send 1000 of them to a simple mission. As for how many demon apostles the five demon emperors have under them only known by them. However, what he didn''t expect was the arrival of the primordial demon emperor himself. So, he wanted to get away from the territory as soon as possible. ''If I didn''t give my demon blood essence to the demon avatar, he would have doubted something was not right and found out about the avatar. Looks like I did that right thing by following my gut.'' The only thing he was happy about was, he was sessfully able to fool the primordial demon emperor; however, he was not overconfident regarding itsting for long. So, he was speeding up to the exit of the territory. However, what he didn''t know was, the primordial demon emperor didn''t want to waste too much time with his ex-loyal demon king. So, he killed him before rushing towards the grey dwarf world to check whether the human was in it or not. If not, he would be searching for all the nearby worlds. "Once I leave this territory, I need to find a world in the prohibited region before finding the great void emperor. I hope I can survive until then." Target knew how dangerous the prohibited region was; however, it was not his first time entering. So, he was hoping nothing disastrous would happen to him in that region. **** I hope you enjoy the Bonus chapters. **** Monthly target.

Chapter 1157 - [Bonus ]Special Demon Energy’s Reaction Other than the five territories of the demon emperors, there was another territory or region that was prohibited or unexplored and there were all kinds of dangers and creatures. Tagrek knew his way around the prohibited region because he was always curious about it; however, that past experience of his will be helping him now to escape from the Primordial demon emperor. ''Phew'' While the primordial demon emperors Brokas and Trokas were flying towards the grey dwarf world, Tagrek nearly reached the prohibited region and heaved a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I don''t have to worry about the primordial demon emperor.'' Tagrek felt happy to escape from the territory as he muttered, ''However, I have to find a ce to recover my injuries for now.'' With that thought in his mind, Tagrek carefully flew on the borders of the prohibited region to find a ce to hide temporarily. As for the Primordial demon emperor Brokas, he didn''t know that not only Tagrek was alive but he sessfully escaped his territory. "Trokas, I can feel the bronze demon king''s curse on him." All of a sudden, the primordial demon emperor sensed familiar energying from the grey dwarf world, making him a little excited. "What? Bronze demon king''s curse?" Trokas didn''t know that Ajax was cursed by the bronze demon king. So, he didn''t understand why his brother was excited; however, he knew one thing for sure and his brother getting excited means it is good news. "Yes, he was..." Soon, Brokas informed everything about Ajax and his divine dragon and he became the target of all other demon emperors. In the end,dy luck was smiling at him and that''s the reason why the human was in his territory; instead of other demon emperor''s territory. "I see." Trokas nodded his head as replied to Brokas with a slight smile on his face, "Brother Brokas, I could not wait to see the divine dragon." "Me too. Let''s go and get it." Brokas excitedly said to his brother as they flew towards the grey dwarf world at their best speed. Currently, they are less than an hour away from entering the grey dwarf world. ... In the grey dwarf world. In the special training hall of the protector''s castle, Ajax was sitting crossed-blessed as he cultivated the cultivator''sw stone in his hands. Even though the red-coloured light emitted by the cultivator''sw stone dimmed a bit, it would take a lot of time for Ajax to absorb the knowledge from it. Currently, he didn''t know that the primordial demon emperor, one of the five demon emperors, whom even the human emperors fear a little, wasing towards the grey dwarf world for him and his divine dragon. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully reaching level 3 in ''Fire devour'' cultivator''sw. Soon, Ajax got the system notification; however, Ajax didn''t bother about it as he continued to absorb all the knowledge and enlightenmenting from the cultivator''s stone. Time continued to pass and thirty minutes passed since Ajax''s cultivator''sw reached level 3. "Huh?" Ajax, who was cultivating his cultivator''sw in his special training hall, all of a sudden, opened his eyes as he frowned for some reason. ''What is this feeling?'' Ajax felt a bad feeling in his head which he had never felt in his life. ''Ding, The demonic energy in the host''s body is trying to warn the host about something. Soon, the system came to his rescue as he understood why he never felt such a feeling because he got the demonic energy only a couple of months back in the five elemental world. ''What is it trying to warn?'' Ajax frowned as he started thinking about the dangers in the grey dwarf world. ''What kind of danger will there be in this grey dwarf world?'' This was the first thought in his head; however, he thought, ''Is there an emperor realm expert passing by the grey dwarf world?'' Ajax, as the protector of the grey dwarf world, could only be harmed by an emperor realm expert when he was inside this world. So, Ajax thought that would be the only reason. Also, there was another thing he thought and it was that losing the faith of at least one grey dwarf would no longer make him the absolute entity in this world. At that time, even a single high-level demon king could kill Ajax and his summons without a problem. ''But, there is no decrease in the faith of these grey dwarves in me as their protector. So, that leaves me with only a single problem and it was the arrival of a demon emperor.'' Soon, Ajax came to the conclusion that the special demonic energy inside his body was warning him about the demon emperor. ''What should I do? What should I do?'' Thousands of thoughts were running through Ajax''s head as he started thinking of a n. ''My backup n would be to summon back all my elemental spirits and the contracted spirits and leave this world to the undead bronze demon world using the world ticket.'' For him, his and his summons'' liveses first. So, his n was to protect them and himself. Nevertheless, it was just his backup n But, he had to think of a n as soon as possible to save this new world of his and the grey dwarves in it. ''I should not let go of this world very easily and if possible, I will put up some fight to test the battle prowess of the emperor realm expert.'' The thing is, Ajax had invested so much in this world like a world seed, three smaller world cores. Moreover, as long as this world is upgraded to the normal grade, his opportunities would increase to the next level. So, Ajax didn''t want to use his backup n unless he didn''t have any other choice. ''That''s right!'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and hurriedly asked the system, ''System, how long will it take for this world to upgrade into a normal grade?'' Ajax felt hopeful because he knew the time would be around one hour or so; however, the problem is how long will it take the emperor realm expert to reach this world? ''Ding, The world core of the grey dwarf world needs exactly 65 minutes 23 seconds. Soon, the system answered him; however, he was still feeling the urging from the special demon energy in his body. ''Judging from its urgency, I think the emperor realm cultivator would reach before the world could upgrade into the normal grade.'' Ajax guessed in his head as he started thinking what he could do to stall the time in case the emperor realm expertes sooner. After thirty minutes are so, Ajax thought about something as he hurriedly walked out of the protector castle and started flying into the sky on his ancient protector sword. ''Looks like everyone starteding.'' From the sky, Ajax could see all the grey dwarves wereing to the protector castle just as he asked them to. **** Monthly target.

''Prophis, store all the devourer eagle generals in his inner space before entering the inner world.'' ''As for others, everyone should enter the inner world now.'' Ajax stopped his ancient protector sword at a good height as he gave his first order to the space elemental spirit to store the devourer eagle generals because, without a contract, he could not store them in his inner world. Next, he summoned back all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts including the divine dragon. Everything happened in less than five minutes as the special demon energy inside him was reacting more and more with each passing second and the higher he was flying into the sky. ''Looks like he is very near to the barrier of the grey dwarf world.'' Ajax muttered to himself and he could sense if anyone tried to pass through the barrier. So far, he didn''t sense anyone. So, he knew it would take some more time for the emperor realm expert to reach the barrier. Also, it would take even more time to break the barrier. So, Ajax felt the grey dwarf world was getting closer to the upgrade. ''Still, 30 minutes.'' Ajax counted the time as he flew higher into space to the barrier protecting the grey dwarf world. ''If I am closer to the barrier, the barrier will be even more powerful.'' This was the reason why Ajax was flying to the barrier and it was to support the barrier and dy as much time as possible for the emperor realm expert to enter the world. As for whether the emperor realm expert was either good or bad, Ajax didn''t want to take the risk of allowing them into the world without putting up a fight. ''System, run the count down for the world upgrade and project it to the corner of my left eye all the time. Do you understand?'' Ajax was serious as he gave an order to the system, which the system epted without saying anything and a small timer appeared in the corner of his left eye as he asked. ''20 minutes...good.'' Seeing the time left for the world upgrade and sensing no trace of the emperor realm expert in the endless space, Ajax felt he could protect the grey dwarf world as long as he dyed a few more minutes. Time continued to pass and when the time reached 10 minutes, Ajax saw something in the endless space that wasing at him at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The two primordial demons have cultivation that exceeds the high-level king realm. Please be careful, host. ''What? Two primordial demon emperors?'' Even though those two primordial demon emperors were very far away from Ajax, he could clearly see because his view was obstructed by nothing. So, he was shocked because he heard the system''s evaluation of the two iing primordial demonsing at him at an incredible speed. ¡­.. On the other side, "Brother Brokas, did you sense that?" While they were only a few thousands of kilometers away from the grey dwarf world, Trokas, who was controlling his magic leaf to fly towards the world, stopped it before asking his brother Brokas. "Yeah. I sensed it too; however, how is it possible for that energy to be inside a human?" Brokas also felt something as he looked at Ajax with a shocked look on his face. "How do you think that young human got his hands on that energy?" Trokas, who usually stays cool, became serious as he asked his brother about it. "Let''s find it after we capture his divine dragon." Soon, Brokas revealed an evil smile on his face as he replied to Trokas and asked, "Why don''t you start your magic leaf." Other than the bronze demon king''s curse, both the demon emperors sensed something inside Ajax that made them shocked at first; however, they were excited because it was special demon energy that could increase their battle prowess greatly while increasing the cultivation speed. So, not only they would be getting the divine dragon from Ajax but at the same time, they would be getting that special demon energy and the source where he got it. If they could find the origin of the special demon energy, they would go there at any cost to collect more special demon energy. "Boom" Soon, they reached the grey dwarf world; however, they were stopped by a barrier. "You are not allowed to enter my world." When Ajax saw that the barrier stopped both the primordial demons, he felt a little hopeful as he warned them in a serious tone. "Haha" Hearing Ajax''s words, both the primordial demon emperors looked at each other beforeughing out loud because they felt funny that a level 1 elite general realm cultivator was warning two primordial demon emperors. "So, you are the new protector of the grey dwarf world? Good." Afterughing for a while, Brokas asked Ajax as he nodded his head before Ajax could even answer his question. "Human, even though you destroyed some of my smaller worlds, I will let you go as long as you swear your loyalty to me." In the next second, Brokas gave an offer to Ajax with a slight smile on his face. That''s right! The primordial demon emperor gave an offer to Ajax which surprised Trokas. Just a few moments back, they were nning to kill Ajax to take his divine dragon and the special demonic energy; however, he didn''t expect his brother to change his mind so soon; however, he didn''t say anything as he silently watched what his brother was going to do. As for the barrier that was obstructing them from entering the grey dwarf world, the demon emperors didn''t bother to attack it. So, it was not sure whether they could break the barrier or not. "What? You want me to be yourckey?" Ajax raised his brows as he asked Brokas with a question mark on his face. "Yes." Brokas nodded his head with a slight smile. The thing is, the primordial demon emperor was so angry with Ajax for destroying some of his powerful smaller worlds; however, when he thought about how useful Ajax could be if he bes his underling, he threw aside the idea of taking revenge. Not only would he get the divine dragon and the special demon energy, but he could also use Ajax to infiltrate the greater human worlds. If Ajax agreed to be his subordinate, the primordial demon emperor had many ways to control Ajax''s life. Overall, he thought like a demon as he waited for Ajax''s reply. "Young human, you have a great talent and as long as you be my brother''s subordinate, your future is settled. We will make you the sole human emperor of the human world." As for Trokas, he tried to entice Ajax with many things that no human could reject. "If you can promise me what you have just said, I can swear my loyalty to your brother." After some hesitation, Ajax looked at both demon emperors and replied to them, making both the demon emperors reveal slight smiles on their faces. **** The author needs more motivation to release more bonus chapters. **** Monthly target. Top 10 Golden Ticket ranking:- 30 extra chapters (In the next month). Chapter 1159 - Primordial Demon Punch "Excellent." Both the primordial demon emperors were excited when they heard Ajax''s reply as Brokas replied, "As long as you stay loyal and do what we ask you to do, you will get more than what we promised you." Even though Ajax was still a level 1 elite general realm, he was able to destroy the smaller worlds with his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. As an emperor realm expert, Brokas saw various elemental spirits in Ajax''s inner world where he has mistaken the inner world as the spirit consciousness. Since Ajax was a summoner that was capable of forming contracts with elemental spirits of various elements, Brokas thought it was very easy for Ajax to enter the greater human worlds. ''As long as he doesn''t try anything funny, it would be a win-win situation for both of us.'' From Brokas'' perspective, Ajax would benefit a lot from bing his subordinate because there were many who wanted to work for an emperor realm cultivator; however, he casually gave the opportunity to Ajax. "So, why don''t you remove this barrier and let''s finalize the deal?" Since Ajax had already agreed to be his subordinate, he needed onest thing to do and it was to ce his demon mark on Ajax. Not only would it warn other demons that he was the primordial demon emperor''s property but it would also help the primordial demon emperor to kill Ajax whenever he wanted to. "For an emperor realm expert like you, the barrier is nothing, right? Why don''t you destroy it?" However, Ajax didn''t remove the barrier or give permission to the demon emperors to enter the grey dwarf world; instead, he asked them to destroy the barrier with their strength. As for why he asked them to do that was to know the exact strength of the emperor realm cultivator. ''If this barrier could withstand at least one attack from them, the normal world''s barrier would definitely block them.'' Ajax silently thought to himself as he hoped the barrier to withstand at least on the attack from the demon emperors. ''Still, there is one more minute for the upgrade.'' From time to time, Ajax would look at the upgrade countdown through the corner of his left eye because he was hoping he would get the power to fight the demon emperors once the grey dwarf world was upgraded to the normal grade. "Haha...my subordinate wants to see my power? Sure." Brokas didn''t feel offended; instead, heughed out loud and nodded his head. "Trokas, why don''t maintain some distance." Next, he asked his brother to fly back a little whereas Brokas summoned his own magic leaf to stand near the barrier. "Human, why don''t you move back a little. I don''t want you to get injured by the explosion. With a slight smile on his face, Brokas asked Ajax to move back just like his brother. "Sure" Ajax nodded his head and slowly moved back because he wanted to waste as much time as possible. "Primordial demon punch." Soon, Brokas used the signature attack of the primordial demons to break the barrier. ''Boom'' The moment his punch touched the barrier, a huge explosion urred as the primordial demon emperor was pushed back a little. ''I...it withstood his attack.'' Even though the primordial demon emperor didn''t use his full force, Ajax was excited when he saw that the barrier withstood the attack. ''30 seconds more.'' The time is ending and Ajax''s hope is increasing with each second the primordial demon emperor wastes. As for Brokas, he frowned at the barrier because how could a smaller world have such a powerful barrier. "You can try once again." Looking at the angry primordial demon emperor, Ajax asked with a slight smile which offended the emperor a little because how dare a puny human dare tough at him. ''Looks like I should increase my power a little more.'' Nevertheless, he decided to give it another try with a little more strength in his punch. ''Kacha'' However, before he could punch, the barrier started cracking at an incredible speed like a spider web. "Haha...see that. Your master could casually destroy the world barrier just like this." Seeing at the cracked barrier, the primordial demon emperor''s anger disappeared and startedughing as he proudly said to Ajax. ''What the hell? It was just a casual punch and the barrier got destroyed.'' As for Ajax, he was shocked to the core looking at the barrier which was hanging by the thread and muttered, ''As expected of an emperor realm expert. They are the absolute powerhouses in the universe.'' Only now Ajax was about to get full rity on the emperor realm cultivators and felt like there was no choice for him to fight against one of them, not to mention there were two of them in front of them. ''If the upgraded grey dwarf world didn''t help me, I will just use my backup n.'' Once he learned how powerful the emperor realm cultivators were, Ajax directly thought of using his backup n instead of fighting them. However, he was waiting for the grey dwarf world to finish its upgrading to the normal world. ''Rumble'' The moment barrier was destroyed, the entire grey dwarf world shook a little. ''What''s been thought?'' ''Is it a world quake?'' ''Where is the protector? Is it fighting the invaders?'' ''What should we do now?'' ''We can only support the protector by keeping our faith in him; otherwise, we will be ves to the invaders once again.'' All the grey dwarves liked Ajax because he was letting them do what they wanted to do and they only had to refine very few weapons, giving them a lot of free time to refine the different weapon designs in their heads. So, they looked into the sky and poured all their faith into Ajax hoping he would win against whoever he was fighting. "Let''s finish the process then." In the endless space, Brokas flew towards Ajax into the grey dwarf world''s region and revealed a slight smile on his face. With the protective barrier of the grey dwarf world gone, there was nothing that could stop Brokas from entering into the grey dwarf world. ''Just a few more seconds.'' As for Ajax, he was urging while looking at the timer through the corner of his left eye. "Huh? What''s the matter? Why are you flying back?" Since there were a few more seconds, Ajax was unconsciously flying back to waste that time. So, the primordial demon emperor frowned as he asked Ajax in a serious tone. "There is something inside me that is trying toe out. Do you know what it is?" Ajax thought of using the special demon energy inside him to waste some more time with the emperor. Since the special demon energy was reacting to the demon emperors, Ajax guessed the emperor could also sense it. So, he lied about the special demon energy trying toe out of his body. ''What?'' Both the demon emperors frowned as they looked at each other and started discussing it. ''Ding, Countdown:- 5¡­.4...3...2....1 **** KingRig, thanks for the MAGIC CASTLE. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1160 - ’World Upgrade’ Finished ''Ding, Countdown:- 5¡­.4...3...2....1...0. While both the primordial demon emperors were conversing with each other about the reaction exhibited by the special demonic energy in Ajax''s body, Ajax received a system notification in his head as the countdown hit ''0'' At the same time in front of the protector castle, all the grey dwarves in the world were gathered when they noticed somethinge out of the protector castle. It was a small golden-coloured ball with grey-coloured marks on it. It was none other than the world core of the grey dwarf world. There was mysterious energy around the world core that was entering into the world core as it started cracking before sting into tiny pieces. ''Is that the...world core?'' ''Don''t tell me it got destroyed?'' ''What should we do now?'' ''What is protector Ajax doing without protecting our world core?'' ''Are we going to die?'' Many grey dwarves became anxious when they saw their world core destroyed right in front of their eyes. ''Idiots...open your eyes and see properly, there is still something over there.'' Lurmer was also anxious for a moment; however, when he saw something in the broken pieces of the world core, he shouted at all the grey dwarves around him. Even though the world core was destroyed, there was a small bright-golden coloured orb that was only the size of a spirit quail egg. ''Huh? There is really something and it looks just like the world core.'' ''Yeah. But why is it very smallpared to the previous world core?'' ''Don''t tell me that it''s broken.'' As always, those ignorant grey dwarves started panicking as they imagined that that world core was broken. "That''s a normal grade world core." However, the old advisor walked near to the world core and observed it for a while before shouting as loudly as possible. So that all the grey dwarves could hear and calm down. ''What?'' ''Normal grade world core?'' ''How did this world be a normal grade world?'' ''What did the protector do?'' ''Who cares? As long as the world grade is increased from smaller to normal grade, it is enough for me.'' ''With a normal grade grey dwarf world, our protector would be even more powerful, right?'' ''Long live the protector.'' ''Long live the protector.'' Soon, another wave of discussions started among the grey dwarves as they were excited about the good news and started cheering for Ajax''s hard work. Even though they didn''t know what Ajax had done to increase the grade of their world from smaller to normal, they were sure that it was Ajax who did that because only he was capable. "Everyone, sit down where you are standing and absorb the light rays emitted by the broken pieces of the older world core and the new world core." While they were cheering for Ajax, the old advisor felt something enter his body and once he found out what it was, he shouted at all the grey dwarves around the world core as he continued, "As long as you absorb the light rays, your weapon refining skills will be polished and upgraded to the next level." As soon as he finished his words, the old advisor sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to absorb the light raysing out of the new world core. The light rays emitted by the new world core and the broken pieces of the old world core Even though he was an old advisor, Tunmil was a good weapon refiner himself who could refine a high-level heaven grade weapon with a sess rate of 70 percent. However, he was not lucky as he was at a bottleneck to enter the King grade weapon refining realm for a century now. ''What?'' Everyone was shocked for a moment; however, soon, they also noticed that enlightenment rays entered their bodies and came out of the shock. Without wasting any more time, all the grey dwarves including Rurbeak and Lurmer also sat down to absorb the enlightenment rays ''This is really heavens'' blessing on my grey dwarf world.'' ''Just when we all thought that we would end up as the lowly ves for the demons, not only did we get a good protector but he also upgraded the world''s grade from smaller to normal.'' ''If what the old advisor said was true, then we would have more general realm weapon refiners in our ranks.'' Soon, everyone started absorbing the enlightenment rays to increase their weapon refiner grade. Whenever a world''s grade is increased, whether it was smaller to normal or normal to greater, the world would definitely reward its inhabitants depending on the upgrading grade. The higher the grade is, the more benefits the inhabitants would get. As for the one who contributed a lot for the upgrade would get even more benefits without a doubt. .... In the space around the grey dwarf world. ''How can that special demon energy want toe out of his body on its own?'' This was the confusion in their minds as they didn''t understand; however, they continued to think of various possibilities. However, the thing is, the special demon energy was not trying toe out of his body; instead, it was warning about the danger to Ajax ahead of time. Nevertheless, they were still thinking about it because the special demon energy is as important as the divine dragon for them. As for why it was as important as the divine dragon, Ajax didn''t have any clue about it as he waited for the system notifications regarding the world upgradation. "Huh? What is happening with the world?" "Why is it growing in size all of a sudden?" The two primordial demon emperors who were discussing the weird reaction ofo the special demon energy saw the grey dwarf world-shaking a little before growing in size. "Trokas, fly back now." Nevertheless, both the primordial demon emperors hurriedly flew back. The grey dwarf world continued to grow at an incredible speed and grew to 10 times its original size within less than a minute before stopped growing. "Brother, did you see that?" "Brother, did you see that?" Both Brokas and Trokas said at the same time as they looked at Ajax in a new light. "Human, did you do that?" Without a doubt, both the primordial demon emperors were sure that it was Ajax who was behind the upgrade of the grey dwarf world from smaller to normal. The thing is, the grey dwarves were not capable of increasing their own world''s grade with their efforts and only an outside help would help it. Also, the human in front of them was very special despite the fact, his cultivation was only a level 1 elite general realm. He was capable of moving from one world to another in a short time, killing all the inhabitants before destroying it. So, they didn''t doubt that Ajax had a method to upgrade the smaller worlds in a short time. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world is upgraded from a smaller grade to a normal grade. "So what if I did it?" Soon, Ajax got the system notification he was waiting for and replied to the demon emperors with a slight smile on his face. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1161 - The Rewards For Upgrading The World Since he got the system notification regarding the world upgrade, Ajax felt he no longer needed to act respectfully. So, he replied to the primordial demon emperors with a scoff while maintaining the slight smile on his face. "What?" Both the primordial demon emperors raised their brows when they saw the sudden change in Ajax''s attitude. Even though Ajax was not very respectful until now, he was not scoffing or mocking them either. However, with the changes to the grey dwarf world, they noticed the change in Ajax''s attitude too. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading a smaller world to a normal grade world. ''Ding, The system rewards the host with a normal grade''s world core. Please continue working hard to get more rewards from the system. As for Ajax, the first thing he did after the grey dwarf world upgraded into a normal grade was to activate the barrier before looking at the system notifications in his head. As for the two primordial demon emperors, he didn''t care about them because he was busy checking his benefits from upgrading the world upgradation. ''A normal grade''s world core. Excellent.'' Ajax nodded his head at the system reward as he thought, ''This is the system''s reward. I want to know what benefits I got from the world core.'' Since he was the one who contributed everything in upgrading the world core from smaller grade to normal grade, Ajax was eager for his benefits. ''Also, I wonder whether the three ancient artifacts of the dwarf race upgraded along with the world?'' About this though, it was just spection from his side. So, he could only know when he checked the three artifacts. ''There is no change in the ancient protector sword.'' Currently, Ajax was standing on the ancient protector sword; however, there were no changes in its appearance. So, Ajax felt that his thought was just an assumption. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world blessed the host with the weapon refining enlightenment to be a King level weapon refiner. Note:- However, the host can only increase his weapon refiner ranks step by step by refining the weapons. ''Ding, With the upgrade in the grey dwarf world, there are changes in the Protoetor title. Please check them. ''Ding, The three artifacts of the ancient dwarf race are repaired if any and at the same time, upgraded to high-level legend grade. Just as he was feeling a little anxious regarding the benefits of upgrading the grey dwarf world from smaller to normal grade, he received a series of system notifications. ''Haha'' With each system notification, the smile on Ajax''s face increased and finally, it reached ''Ear to ear''. "So, you are acting all along and waiting for the world to upgrade to the normal world?" As for the primordial demon emperor, they tried to enter the world; however, they were obstructed by a barrier that was much stronger than before. So, they finally understood that Ajax lied when he said he was willing to be the demon emperor''s subordinate. "Damn you, human, I gave you a chance to live by bing my subordinate; however, you fooled me." Brokas was initially excited when he thought Ajax had the ability to upgrade the world. So, he thought of using Ajax to upgrade other worlds and if possible he wanted to upgrade even normal demon worlds to the greater demon world. However, when he saw Ajax''s attitude, he wanted nothing but to kill him. "Boom" Nevertheless, the barrier of the upgraded world was much stronger than the one he destroyed previously. So, it bounced him back a little, making him even more angry. "Brother Brokas, calm down. We need him alive to summon his divine dragon. So, calm down while I destroy the barrier." Trokas knew his brother lost control over himself. So, he stopped him and tried to convince Brokas that he would destroy the barrier instead. "This is just a normal world''s barrier. I can destroy it in three punches." However, it was not an easy task to convince an enraged demon emperor. Moreover, from time to time, Brokas could see that Ajax wasughing as though he was watching something funny. But what the primordial demon emperor didn''t know was, Ajax was actually looking at the system notifications appearing in front of him and not even looking at the demon emperors. It was just a misunderstanding; however, Ajax could not care much because he knew the primordial demon emperors just want to kill him if they have the opportunity. "Human, if you remove the barrier on your own, I can promise you that you can still take the previous offer." It took some time for Trokas to convince Brokas; however, he didn''t attack the barrier. Instead, he said a few words to Ajax in a serious tone. "You do what you have to do. I will do what I have to do." Ajax was sure that the primordial demon emperors would kill him for sure; however, he was also sure about another thing and it was that they would not kill him until he summoned the divine dragon and answered the source of the special demon energy. So, he was taking his own time in checking out the things he gained from upgrading the grey dwarf world to normal grade. "Fine then." Unlike Brokas, Trokas was calm and remained nonchnt even when Ajax rejected the offer. Instead, the aura emitted by him increased all of a sudden. ''Looks like I can focus on another profession.'' As for Ajax, he checked the system notifications as fast as possible to see whether there was something that could help him go against two primordial demon emperors. First, he saw the blessing he received from the grey dwarf world; however, he didn''t think much about it because he was not in a mood to learn anything now. Also, since the grey dwarf world had so many weapon refiners from the time the world was born, Ajax was not surprised by receiving a blessing rted to weapon refining. ''The three ancient artifacts repaired and upgraded?'' Ajax was excited with that system notification; however, the main thing for him now was to survive and protect the grey dwarf world. He thought of the ancient trading mirror for a second before looking at the ancient sword below his feet. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient protector sword. Effect:- The protector can gain the strength of a low-level emperor realm. Note:- 1) The strength is limited to the grey dwarf world. 2) If the faith of the grey dwarves decreases, the power the protector receives also decreases. ''Low-level emperor realm strength?'' Soon, he got the information on the ancient protector sword he was using to fly and felt his power was increasing all of a sudden. ''Even though I have the low-level emperor realm strength. I don''t know the cultivation of these demon emperors and moreover, they are two of them.'' Ajax felt a little hopeful before shaking his head. ''Punch'' ''Boom'' On the other hand, a powerful primordial demon punchnded on the barrier that shook the entire protective barrier; however, there was not a single crack on it, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''I need to hurry up before the barrier gets destroyed by them.'' ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1162 - Upgraded ’Protector’ Title ''I need to hurry up before the barrier gets destroyed.'' Seeing the primordial demon emperor could shake the entire barrier, Ajax knew it would not take much time for him to break the barrier. So, Ajax was fast with his thoughts as he checked the changes in the information of the ancient protector shield. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient protector shield. Effect:-Creates a barrier that stops everyone below the high-level king realm and as for the emperor realm cultivator, the barrier could only hold them temporarily as they have the ability to break the barrier. Note:- Once the barrier breaks, it will take a whole month to create another barrier. ''No use with the shield either.'' After checking the upgraded shield, Ajax was only disappointed and right now, he had only one more thing left to check. ''I hope that there is some useful effect in my title.'' Since the system had said that his ''Protector'' title also upgraded along with the grey dwarf world, he was keeping all his hopes on the title. Actually, there was another item he had to check and it was the ancient trading mirror; however, Ajax knew it could not be used either for attacking or defending as the main function of the item was to trade with other worlds. ''Boom'' ''Punch'' ''Boom'' ''Punch'' As for the primordial demon emperor Trokas, he was punching the barrier and with each punch, the power in his punches increased and the barrier started cracking slowly. ''System, give information on my title ''Protector''.'' Seeing that the cracks started appearing on the barrier, Ajax became a little anxious as he asked the system. ''Ding, Title name:- Protector of the world (100 percent). Effect:- 1) 100 percent increase in the battle prowess of three selected summons for a time period of 30 minutes with a cooldown of one month. Note:- The percentage in the battle prowess decreases with the decrease in the acknowledgement from the protector world''s inhabitants. 2) The protector can create a permanent teleportation circle for a smaller world and a normal world for every one year and 10 years respectively. 3) No matter which world the protector is in, he could instantly teleport back to the protector''s world with a thought. Note:- Once he used the instant teleportation to the protector''s world, he had to wait for an entire month before using it again. Also, when the barrier is destroyed, there will be a huge explosion that was capable of injuring even emperor realm experts. 4) When the world is attacked by the forces that the host can''t fight, he can randomly teleport to the entire world to some hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Soon, theplete information about the upgraded title ''Protector'' appeared in front of him on a holographic screen. ''Three summons instead of one?'' ''Creating permanent teleportation circle for both smaller and normal worlds?'' ''Instant teleportation back to the grey dwarf world once a month?'' Ajax quickly scanned over the three effects that upgraded a lotpared to before and felt he could greatly use them. ''Teleporting the entire world?'' However, when his eyesnded on the fourth and new effect of the ''Protector'' title, Ajax felt surprised and rubbed his eyes to see whether the effect was really on the holographic screen or his fear just made him see things he wanted to see. ''It is really there.'' After checking the fourth effect a few times, Ajax was over the moon and looked at the two primordial demon emperors with a mocking smile. "What are youughing at, brat?" Since Brokas was standing some distance away from the barrier and observing Trokas break the barrier, he noticed the smile on Ajax''s face as he asked with a serious look on his face. "Of course, I amughing at you." As Ajax found another backup n where he doesn''t have to abandon the entire grey dwarf or the grey dwarves inside it, he started making fun of the primordial demon emperor. "Damn it." Hearing Ajax''s words, Brokas became angry as he shouted at Trokas, "Trokas, how long are you going to take to destroy that barrier." "Onest punch." Trokas clenched his fists as hended a powerful punch on the barrier. ''Kacha'' ''Boom'' With that punch, the entire barrier was filled with cracks and a huge explosion that even Ajax, the protector of the grey dwarf world, was pushed back a few hundreds of kilometers away. From this alone, one could imagine how big that explosion was and as for the two primordial demon emperors who were close to the barrier was of course sted away a few thousands of kilometers away. Also, there was no trace of both the primordial demon emperors. So, it was very hard for Ajax to know how long they were pushed back. ''Even though I can''t see them, I am sure about one thing that both the demon emperors were alive.'' Since he would get a notification whenever he killed a spirit beast or demons or humans, Ajax came to a conclusion that both the demon emperor were still alive as he didn''t get any system notification. ''If both of them were injured, I don''t have to use my new backup n.'' His new backup n was to teleport the entire grey dwarf world to some random ce and as for his main n, of course, it was to kill both the primordial demon emperors. As long as he killed them, he could focus on his own things without any worry but if they were alive, he had to leave this ce and teleport the grey dwarf world. Moreover, his world has no barrier and if the demon emperors tried to sneak an attack on the grey dwarf world, it would be a big problem. Actually, the thing is Ajax intentionally let the primordial demon emperor destroy the barrier even when he found a way to safely teleport the world. He wanted both the primordial demon emperors to get injured by the after-effect of destroying a barrier. ''I will see whether they were still near and if they were severely injured and wants to fight, I will kill them.'' With his current strength, killing the injured demon emperors was not a problem or at least that''s what he thought. Anyway, since Ajax had a good backup n, he was not worried about failing to kill the demon emperors as he could easily escape. "Are you looking for us?" Just as Ajax was looking for the primordial demon emperors, he heard an angry voice from the distance as he saw the two primordial demon emperors fly towards him on a single huge magic leaf. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he saw that both the demon emperors were perfectly alright without a single scratch on their bodies. "You little ant. You think you can kill us with those cheap tricks?" Brokas rushed towards Ajax in no time as he punched at Ajax. ''What a speed.'' Ajax was shocked at the speed of the primordial demon emperor; however, he didn''t have time to dodge. So, he could not take the punch. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1163 - Fooling The Demon Emperors Again And Again ''Dang'' Ajax didn''t have enough time to dodge Brokas''s punch. So, he used his hands to block the punch. ''Kacha'' There was a crisp sound as Ajax could feel the paining from his hands because the bones in his hands were broken from the earlier punch. "Is this your full-powered punch?" However, Ajax didn''t make a single painful noise; instead, he had a slight smile on his face as he asked the primordial demon emperor and continued, "If? so, then I am highly disappointed." "You can still maintain a smile...Haha. What kind of psycho are you?/" Brokas felt it was funny when he saw Ajax still had a smile on his face and could not help but mock him. "It''s just 50 percent of my original strength." Nevertheless, Brokas replied to Ajax regarding the power he used in his earlier punch and continued saying, "I am not going to kill you until you summon your divine dragon." If not for the ''Low-level emperor realm'' strength that he gained from the ''Ancient protector sword'', Ajax would have died in that punch. Also, Brokas could sense the sudden increase in Ajax''s strength. Even then, he only used 50 percent of his strength because he felt it was more than enough. "Good to know that." Ajax just wanted to take one attack from an emperor realm expert as an experience and since he was confident the primordial demon emperors would not kill him before he gave them what they wanted. "So, are you going to summon the divine dragon and reveal where you got that demonic energy inside your body?" Trokas flew towards Ajax as he asked with a serious look on his face as he promised, "As long as you give them up without putting any resistance, you will get a painless death." As though Trokas was doing some kind of favour for him, he said he would give Ajax a painless death, making Ajax shake his head. "What if I don''t have any ns to die today?" While shaking his head slowly, Ajax said those words to both the primordial demon emperors. "Don''t worry. After 10 minutes, not only will you beg me to take your divine dragon and the demon energy inside your body but you will also beg me to kill you." With an evil smile, Brokas stretched his body a little as he replied to Ajax. "Good luck with that then." However, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he said, "I will take my leave now." Ajax tried to wave his hands; however, he was unable to lift them up because the bones inside his hands were broken. ''System, using my status as the Protector of the grey dwarf world, I want to teleport this world to another location.'' As soon as he finished his words to the primordial demon emperors, he ordered the system to teleport the grey dwarf world. ''Ding, Teleporting the grey dwarf world to some random ce. ''Ding, Detected two hostile demon emperors within the territory. Please push them out of the grey dwarf worlds'' territory within the next minute; otherwise, they will be teleported along with the world. Soon, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him smile at the start; however, it turned into anxiousness by the end. ''Damn it...I need to push them out. I can do it.'' Ajax cursed as he didn''t expect it; however, he felt that he could do it. "I will answer where I got the special demon energy from; however, can you tell me about it?" Soon, Ajax formted a n as he asked both the demon emperors about it. "Haha¡­.didn''t you say you will be leaving now? What happened? You can''t carry your world with you or what?" "Shall we bring it for you?" Both the primordial demon emperors mocked Ajax when they saw Ajax was not moving from his ce after saying that he would leave. "Okay then. Looks like I have to show you my real strength." The earlier question he asked the primordial demon emperors was just to distract them. He thought they would be distracted while exining the answer; however, they were busy mocking them. Anyway, Ajax considered it as his opportunity and closed his eyes before saying, ''Pull'' As soon as he thought of that work in his head, the two primordial demon emperor''s felt a heavy pulling force from the grey dwarf world that pulled them towards the world. ''I hope this better work.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he perfectly synchronized his consciousness with the grey dwarf world to use the maxing pulling force of the world. ''Huh?'' Both the primordial demon emperor frowned at what Ajax was trying to do by pulling them towards the world However, why would they let Ajax have his way? So, Trokas controlled his magic leaf to oppose the pulling force of the world. Earlier, when they destroyed the barrier, there was a huge explosion and both the primordial demon emperors didn''t want something like that to happen again by allowing Ajax to do whatever he wanted to do. "You fell for it...Haha." Seeing that the primordial demon emperors were using the opposing force to resist the pulling force of the grey dwarf world, Ajax mocked them as he startedughing. ''Huh?'' Trokas frowned when he heard Ajax words as he didn''t understand what Ajax meant by it. "Brother Trokas, don''t believe his words. He is just toying with us to let our guard down. Use your full force to oppose that pulling force as we don''t know what kind of explosives he ced in the ground below." However, when Brokas saw that Trokas was frowning, he hurriedly asked him to not get fooled by Ajax once again. They were already fooled by Ajax twice. One, it was when Ajax said he would be the primordial demon emperor''s subordinate. And two, the barrier had a hidden effect of exploding when it was destroyed. If not for Brokas''s special defensive artifact, both of them would have been severely injured. So, it was hard for them to believe Ajax''s words. "Okay." After hearing Brokas'' words, Trokas felt what his brother said was true and used his full force to oppose the pulling force. "You are right! I was trying to fool you." Ajax nodded his head as he shook his head. "See, this human is cunning and evil than us. We need to torture him so badly for trying to fool us repeatedly." Brokas scoffed at Ajax as he said that to his brother. "Yes. He can''t use that pulling force of the world for much longer. Once it was gone, then let''s show him who he was trying to fool." Trokas was also angry at Ajax and said in an evil tone. Just like Trokas said, Ajax could not use that force for much longer as it would create a great load on Ajax. "You were not fooled earlier; however, you were fooled when you used your full force to oppose my world''s pulling force." Suddenly, Ajax scoffed at them, making them didn''t understand what Ajax was saying. "Push" ***** A bonus chapter for 100 Golden tickets wille soon until then reach the next target. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1164 - Escaping With The World ''Push'' With a single world, the pulling force of the grey dwarf world turned into a pushing force that pushed both the primordial demon emperors who were already keeping their effort to oppose the pulling force, away from the grey dwarf world. ''System, teleport now.'' After kicking both the demon emperors away from the space around the grey dwarf world, Ajax ordered the system to teleport the world. ''Ding, Initiating the teleportation of the grey dwarf world. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world''s barrier is destroyed. After the world is teleported to a random ce, the protector needs to keep an eye on the invaders until the barrier is repaired which will take exactly one month. Soon, Ajax got a couple of system notifications in his head regarding the teleportation. ''Looks like I can''t leave the grey dwarf world for 30 days.'' If he left the grey dwarf world to do his own things, then it would be left unprotected with the protective barrier guarding the grey dwarf world. So, he knew he had to stay back until a new barrier was generated around the grey dwarf world. "Now, I will? be leaving for real along with my grey dwarf world." Since the system had already started the teleportation process, Ajax replied to the demon emperors with a slight smile on his face. "Damn it...he is toying with us." As for both primordial demon emperors, they looked at the smiling Ajax and cursed him. ''Swoosh'' However, before they could say or do anything, they saw Ajax along with the entire grey dwarf world had disappeared right in front of their eyes. ''What?'' ''How can he make the entire grey dwarf world vanish?'' Brokas and Trokas looked at the ce where the grey dwarf world used to be and got shocked before looking at each other and asking. ''Damn it. He fooled us again and escaped.'' Brokas checked his surroundings and could not sense Ajax at all and came to the conclusion that they were fooled once again. "Brother Brokas, what do you think we should do now?" Since Brokas made all the decisions and he was thinking, Trokas asked what they should do now. "What else? Go back to our world and secretly search for him." Even now, Brokas was not nning to inform other demon emperors about Ajax and his secrets because he didn''t want others to get hold of Ajax. ''If I can''t catch him, no one should catch him too.'' This was the thought in his head because if other demon emperors got their hands on the divine dragon, they would be the leader of all the demon emperors and he had to fold his hands in front of him if that happens. So, he decided to go back to his world before sending the search parties to the other territories of the demon emperor. As long as he informed the other demon emperors about some of his demon apostles entering their territories for training, they would not mind. So, Brokas felt it was the right thing to do now. ''All the demon apostles, assemble in front of my pce in 24 hours.'' As soon as he thought about it, he sent some kind of signal to his entire territory that only demon apostles could sense and asked them to gather. The signal was not only for the demon apostles whom he sent after Ajax earlier but the other demon apostles who were away on some kind of mission. For him, other than searching for Ajax and capturing him, no other mission is important. "Okay brother. I will summon my demon apostles too." Trokas nodded his head as he also closed his eyes and sent some kind of transmission to all other demon apostles lying dormant in the worlds they were given to look after. "Thanks, brother. Let''s go." Brokas returned to his normalposure when he heard Trokas'' words. Generally, Trokas didn''t summon his demon apostles because he always does things with his own strength; however, now, he was summoning them all to help Brokas in searching Ajax. So, of course, Brokas was happy to have such a good brother and asked him to fly towards their world. ¡­.. Somewhere in the endless space. There were some worlds each with some hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart and each one of them was a smaller world. As far as one''s eye could see, there were only smaller worlds. In an empty space in the endless space, the silence was disturbed by some kind of high-pitch sound and as soon as the sound stopped, there was a grey coloured world that appeared in that ce. Compared to the surrounding worlds, this grey-coloured world was around 10 times bigger in size. Of course, it was none other than the grey dwarf world that belonged to Ajax which was teleported to the current ce after being escaped from the primordial demon emperor''s territory. ''Phew...finally safe.'' Ajax, who was nearly at the ce where the barrier would be, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no primordial demon emperors. ''I wonder what this ce is and who does it belong to.'' After confronting the primordial demon emperor, Ajax understood that there would be various territories and each territory will be ruled by a powerful emperor realm expert. ''Ding, The host has to find it on his own. Before that, heal your bones. Soon, he got the system notification asking him to heal his bones. Earlier, when he received the 50 percent powered punch from the primordial demon emperor, Ajax blocked it with his hands which broke his bones. However, Ajax was not worried because he had a way to heal himself. That''s right! Since he is a level 2 sacred astral healer, not only can he heal physical injuries but he can even heal the soul rted injuries. ''Heal'' Soon, he closed his eyes and focused on his Sacred Astral Space and using the Sacred Astral Energy stored in the Sacred Astral Space, Ajax started healing his hands. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Soon, his hands were covered by the green-coloured energy as there was a breaking sounding from his hands. ''Damn...this is painful.'' Even though the pain was not much, it was still a pain that was worth mentioning. Moreover, he didn''t feel that healing his hands would be painful. ''Ding, The host has used 2 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, The capacity of the host''s Sacred Astral Space is increased to 543 units. ''Ding, Remaining Sacred Astra Energy left:- 347 units. It took nearly 10 minutes for Ajax to heal his hands, which became much stronger than they were. After that, his head was filled with a series of system notifications in his head to let him know about the Sacred Astral Energy and the capacity of the Sacred Astral Space. ''What? It only cost me two units of Sacred Astral Energy?'' Ajax was not shocked by the fact that his Sacred Astral Space''s capacity was increased; however, what shocked him was that it only cost him two units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Looks like I open up some new opportunities for myself.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he excitedly said, "Anyway, it''s time to use the Ancient trading mirror." ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1165 - [Bonus ]Ancient Trading Mirror # Bonus chapter for 100 Golden tickets. With the Sacred Astral Energy, Ajax doesn''t have to worry about getting injured anymore. As long as he was alive, he could heal himself. However, currently, he has limited Sacred Astral Energy. So, he thought of finding a source of getting Sacred Energy. As for Astral Energy, he had Astral moss branch and the cursed abyss. So, As long as he finds a steady supply of Sacred Energy, he couldbine them both to create the Sacred Astral Energy. Nevertheless, he kept that thought aside as he had other things to take care of like the ''Ancient trading mirror'' and insides of the grey dwarf world. ''I will check the information on the ''Ancient trading mirror'' after entering the protector castle.'' Since Ajax was nning to check the changes in the grey dwarf world after it became a normal world, he kept the thought of using or checking the Ancient trading mirror aside. Ajax felt that only by checking the changes in the grey dwarf world, he could use the ancient trading mirror to trade something that both he and the world needed. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax flew on his ancient protector sword into the grey dwarf world while absorbing his surroundings. ''Woh woh.'' Compared to before, the flying speed of the ancient protector sword reached another level as he excitedly shouted while flying on it. ''The essence of nature is equivalent to grade 1 elemental paradise.'' The first and foremost thing that Ajax noticed was the essence of nature. Even before he reached the ground, Ajax could sense the purity of the essence of nature in the world had greatly improved. ''I think the spirit beasts can be grown here now.'' By the time he was closer to the ground, Ajax sensed the purity of the essence of nature that almost reached the peak grade 1 elemental paradise and muttered to himself. In the past, the artificial demon kings used something that killed all the rank 1 spirit beasts raised by the grey dwarves. So, with the grade upgrade in the grey dwarf world, Ajax thought he didn''t have to trade or bring more spirit beast corpses from the outside world. ''But I wonder, why nothing happened to my spirit beasts?'' That question still remained as a question in his head; nevertheless, he didn''t think much and decided to test whether the spirit beasts can be raised in this world or not. ''I should bring some spirit beasts to test that theory.'' Since there was no effect on his contracted spirit beasts and non-contracted spirit beasts of whatever that''s killing the spirit beasts in his world, Ajax could only bring the spirit beasts from other worlds to test it. ''Since there was such a huge change in the essence of nature in this world, I wonder what kind of benefits the grey dwarves, the inhabitants of this world, are getting from the upgrading of the grey dwarf world.'' Soon, Ajax thought of the grey dwarves who were supposed to be gathering in front of the protector castle and flew towards the protector castle. ''Swoosh'' Within no time, Ajax reached the protector castle which waspletely surrounded by the grey dwarves of around one million. All of them were sitting on the ground cross-legged with their eyes closed. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw all the grey dwarves were absorbing the light rays emitted by the golden core above his protector castle. ''That''s the world core of the grey world. But isn''t that very small for a normal world core?'' Ajax looked at the golden world core in the distance and silently muttered to himself. ''Ding, It is the standard size of the recently upgraded normal world core. To his question, the system replied, rifying Ajax''s doubt. ''Looks like it will take a while before they finish their cultivation. I think I will just enter the protector castle and check the Ancient trading mirror.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax silently flew into the protector castle without disturbing any of the grey dwarves. As for why he didn''t try to cultivate the golden light emitted by the world core, actually, he did; however, there was no effect on him and got a system notification. ''Ding, Since the host already gained the required knowledge and talent till the King-realm weapon refining. The golden light will not have any effect on the host. Since absorbing the golden light emitting from the golden core was just a waste of time for him and a waste of golden light for the grey dwarves, Ajax decided to focus on the much-awaited item ''Ancient trading mirror''. ''Time to check it.'' As soon as he entered the protector castle''s main hall, Ajax sat on the sofa as he simply thought of the ''Ancient trading mirror''. Previously when he got the ancient trading mirror after bing the protector of the grey dwarf world, Ajax could not use it as it was broken by the artificial demon emperors; however, with the upgrade of the grey dwarf world, the trading mirror was not only repaired but it even upgraded to the high-level legend grade weapon. ''Swoosh'' Just as he thought about the mirror, it appeared in the mid-air in front of him. It looked like a square mirror with a normal grey-coloured coating on one side and a shining mirror on the other side. From a look, no one would think that it was a legend grade artifact because it looked verymon. ''Ding, Item name:- Ancient trading mirror. Grade:- High-level legend grade. Effect:- 1) The host can trade with the owners of the other Ancient trading mirrors or simr kinds of artifcacts. Note:- However, the host can only trade once a month and he has to stay in the grey dwarf world to use the mirror. Special effect:- It can block and store three energy attacks from the high-level king ream experts or below. Note:- 1) The host has to spend ten million low-level spirit stones to bind with the mirrorpletely. Soon, he got theplete information on the Ancient trading mirror and surprisingly there was a special effect. ''Looks like I got one more trump card.'' Even though his strength is equivalent to a low-level emperor in the grey dwarf world, his original cultivation was still level 1 elite general realm, who could kill regr low-level king realm experts. Also, it clearly stated that he could not trade with the mirror while he was outside the grey dwarf world, Ajax could still use the special effect which could save him. ''However, to store the three attacks, I have to confront some high-level king realm experts and if possible I should better bring them into this world before storing the attacks.'' Ajax felt the only risk-free method to store the three attacks of high-level realm experts'' attacks was to bring them into the grey dwarf world. Because in this world, he has absolute control over everything. ''Let''s think about the ancient trading mirror''s special effect after I resume my world invasion.'' Ajax stopped thinking about the special effect and looked at the mirror hovering in front of him before saying, ''It''s time to trade.'' **** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. (Which is 200 GT) Chapter 1166 - Harbinger Of Destruction ''System, I want to spend 10 million spirit stones to bind theplete ownership.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know why the system said that he needed to spend 10 million spirit stones, he didn''t want to argue with the system as he knew he could not win against it. Moreover, to his surprise, he had exactly 10 million spirit stones in his inventory. So, Ajax felt the system once again started the extortion. However, for him, spirit stones were not as valuable as they were to other cultivators as he could not increase his cultivation through them. ''Ding, 10 million spirit stones are deducted from the host''s inventory and the system is used to remove the traces of previous owners of the ancient trading mirror. ''Ding, The ancient trading mirror ispletely bound to the host. Just as he gave permission to the system to spend the 10 million spirit stones, he received two system notifications. After reading the system notification, Ajax understood why the system needed 10 million spirit stones and nodded his head. However, there was another system notification that made Ajax raise his brows. ''Ding, Before starting the trading, the host has to create a virtual avatar to enter the Trading realm to train. Do you want to create it now? ''System, what is this virtual avatar? Also, what about the trading realm?'' Ajax knew what this virtual avatar meant; however, he didn''t know what this virtual avatar was. So, he asked the system about it and the trading realm. ''Ding, A virtual avatar is an avatar that is shown to other traders like yourself. The virtual avatar is designed on the host''s preference. Note:- Once the host creates his virtual avatar in the ''Trading realm'' ''Ding, The trading realm is a ce where the owners of the ancient trading mirrors and other simr types of items enter to trade with others. ''Interesting.'' Even though he didn''t understandpletely, Ajax felt it was interesting and hurriedly said, ''I want to create the virtual avatar.'' ''Ding, To create the virtual avatar, the host''s consciousness has to enter the mirror and he will be guided by someone there. ''Okay.'' Ajax nodded his head and closed his eyes before imagining his spirit consciousness entering the ancient trading mirror. Since Ajax had a good experience of entering the core realms of many smaller worlds, he considered the ancient trading mirror as one of the smaller worlds. Soon, Ajax''s spirit consciousness entered into a ce where it waspletely filled with mist. Just as he was looking at his surroundings while trying to see through the white mist, he heard a crisp voice from the mist. ''Yes.'' Since the system had already given him heads-up regarding someone guiding him in creating the virtual avatar, Ajax casually nodded his head. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax nodded his head, a hologram appeared in front of Ajax that looked exactly like him. "Is this my virtual avatar?" Ajax looked at the holographic projection of him and asked while looking into the mist. The female voice came from the mist. "I will just go with my face." Once he heard the female voice from the mist, Ajax didn''t think much before saying those words. Ajax felt there was no need for him to make any changes to his avatar. < Some traders are greedy and they will hunt you just to get more items from you. So, let me ask you once again. Are you sure about it?> When the being in the mist heard Ajax''s words, she was a little surprised; however, it was not umon for the traders to go with their own appearance for the virtual avatar. "I am sure. If they want to hunt me in the real world, let theme." While saying that, Ajax revealed an evil smile because the more enemies he had, the more rewards he could get from killing them. As soon as Ajax confirmed that there were no changes in his virtual avatar''s appearance from his original appearance, the person in charge of creating the virtual avatar finalized the virtual avatar. At the same time, she asked about his virtual name. "Huh? If I can''t use the real name, then I will go with ''Universal Summoner''." Since he could form contracts with any elemental spirit without any difficulty, Ajax chose a name that suited his profession. ''Sigh. I will take another name then.'' Ajax shook his head as he decided to take another name and said, "Master of Divine dragon" ''Sacred Astral Healer'' ''King of summoners'' ''Eternal saviour'' . . All the powerful names that Ajax chose were already taken because there were so many traders and everyone wanted domineering names. "Damn it¡­just show the domineering names left. So I will pick one from them." Finally, Ajax could not waste his breath as he asked the entity hiding in the mist to show him some domineering names. Surprisingly, the trader''s guide who was hiding in the mist was able to tell that he had destroyed some worlds prior toing here; however, Ajax knew she could only sense but she could not see which world or how many worlds he had destroyed. "So be it. I am tired of picking a virtual name anyway." Ajax just wanted to make a trade with other traders; however, there is a long process before he could do it. What''s more, he wasted quite a lot of time while picking a name. So, he didn''t think much as he chose the name suggested by the trader''s guide which was domineering anyway. Soon, he heard the trader''s guide''s voice and within no time, he felt his spirit consciousness was sucked into the virtual avatar in front of him. The trader''s guide exined the rules and other things he needed to know about the Trading realm before asking him whether he wanted to enter the Trading realm. ''Only one hour?'' Ajax frowned; however, he knew he could only increase his Trader''s rank to stay much longer in the trading realm. "Yes." Nevertheless, he nodded his head as he decided to enter the Trading realm. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1167 - Sky City, Night Ranger ''Swoosh'' As soon as he nodded his head, Ajax''s virtual avatar disappeared from the mist-filled region. ''Th..this is...'' Soon, Ajax appeared in a ce that looked just like any other human city; however, it was flying in the air. Currently, Ajax was standing in front of a hovering board with the words ''Sky city''. ''I better find something to trade as soon as possible.'' There were no guards at the entrance as Ajax hurriedly entered the city because he only had three hours to trade. Since the reason he entered the trading realm was to trade, Ajax wanted to trade for something before leaving this realm as he could not enter this realm for another 30 days. ''There are so many shops, many items. What''s more, there were many other races.'' After entering the city, Ajax could not help but marvel at the sight of various races walking side by side. Except for the tales in Elder Boron, Ajax had never seen or heard that many races could co-exist peacefully; however, he finally found a ce where they could co-exist. ''Even though it was mainly because of the trading realm rules, still, it is a sight I have never seen.'' Ajax knew why there were no fights or curses even though there were many beings from different races walking side by side. No one wants to get kicked out of the trading realm as it is a ce where they could gain many good items at a lower cost. ''I can enjoy all these sights after I reach the high-level. For now, I will focus on what I need.'' After checking a few stores and what they were selling, Ajax stopped and started thinking about what he needed. ''There is no need to trade for my cultivation resources. I don''t need weapons, pills.'' Soon, Ajax started eliminating the things he didn''t want and started thinking about what he needed to buy. ''Cultivation resources rted to the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.'' Finally, he decided what he would be trading or buying in this trading realm. ''Let''s start with the resources for the contracted spirit beasts.'' Since he had already given so much for his elemental spirits by buying good stuff from the elemental spirit store, Ajax thought of the contracted spirit beasts. So, he walked to the section where the stores sold the stuff rted to the spirit beasts. "Wee fellow trader, what do you need?" The trader who owns the store was a dark elf as he politely invited Ajax into the store before asking what Ajax wanted. Dark elf belongs to the elf race that likes to live in ces like night forests. With pointy ears, dark skin, medium build. Other than the bright brown eyes, there was nothing note-worthy about the dark elf in front of Ajax. "I want bestialw stones or things that could increase the cultivation of the spirit beasts." Even though Ajax observed the dark elf in front of him, he also maintained a respectful look as he informed what he wanted to the dark elf. ''Why can''t I see through his cultivation? Even the system was saying that he didn''t have any cultivation.'' Soon, Ajax noticed something that made him raise his brows. Ajax saw a few traders before entering these stores who didn''t have any cultivation; however, he felt those beings were like grey dwarves who could not cultivate. However, Ajax was sure that dark elves are fighters and their cultivation realms were more or less the same as the humans. ''Is it because of the trading realm? Wait a second...I can''t use my bloodline, skills or anything in this realm.'' Finally, Ajax understood that even though his spirit consciousness could use skills and bloodline, the virtual avatar was doing something that is making it impossible to use his skills or bloodline. ''So that means, everyone''s strength is equal in this realm.'' Ajax came to that conclusion and looked at the dark elf for his reply. "Bestialw stones are very rare even in my world that was filled with many powerful spirit beasts; however, you are lucky as I have one in my store." The dark elf''s initial words made Ajax a little disappointed; however, when he heard hisst words, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face, trying his best not to show his excitement. "Other than that bestialw stone, I have three Heaven-grade primitive stones that can even increase the purity of the King realm bloodlines. However, the purity will be very lesspared to the normal bloodlines." "One beast evolution crystal and a dozen re-cultivation techniques." "Also, if you are not satisfied with your current contracted spirit beasts, I can sell some powerful spirit beast eggs. So, what do you want?" The dark elf continued to inform what type of cultivation resources for the spirit beasts he currently had in his store. Basically, he only talked about the high-level items as it was his first rule of business. Start with costly items. "Wow. You have so many items with you." Even though there were many stores, there was not a single item that was kept outside. Other than the name on the store which says what the store sells, a buyer or trader could only ask the store owner about the items. So, Ajax was surprised when he heard so many items and all of them were high-level ones. "Looks like it''s your first time entering the trading realm. But, what I said right now is the highest level of items; however, that doesn''t mean they are only high-level items in Sky city." The Dark elf shook his head with a slight smile on his face. "You are right! I need to stay calm." Ajax already knew that he would be seeing more and more high-level items in the trading realm. So, he thought to control his surprise and excitement lest he embarrass in front of others. "Haha...there is no need to suppress your excitement as you will get used to it after a few visits to the Trading realm." The dark elf shook his head as he introduced himself, "My name is Night ranger. Why don''t we add each other as friends? If you have any doubts, you can ask me until you get used to the Trading realm." The dark elf smiling asked Ajax and at the same time, Ajax saw a row of words appear in front of his words. Unlike the system''s words which would be on a holographic screen, these rows of words are made up of mist. "You must be seeing the words made up of mist in front of you. If you like to be friends with me, you can ept it or if you don''t, you can reject it." Seeing the surprised look on Ajax''s face, Night ranger knew what Ajax was seeing in front of him. So, he informed Ajax about it. "Okay." Ajax was only surprised for a moment before nodding his head as he was already used to the system notifications. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1168 - Trading Looking at the words made up of mist in front of him, Ajax was a little surprised; however, he nodded his head and selected ''Yes''. "So, what items do you want?" Once they became friends, the Night ranger asked Ajax about the items he needed. Since the Night ranger said the items he had on him, Ajax just had to tell him what he wanted. "I want the bestialw stone, heave-grade primitive stone, beast evolution crystal and some re-cultivation techniques for the spirit beasts." Except for the spirit beast eggs, Ajax asked almost everything that the dark elf had on him. "What?" Night ranger was shocked when he heard Ajax''s words before getting excited; however, when he thought about Ajax being a newbie who entered the trading realm for the first time, he was a little doubtful whether Ajax had enough stuff to trade or buy the items from him. "Harbinger of destruction, if you don''t mind, can you show me the stuff you want to trade or buy my items?" Nevertheless, he didn''t show any disrespect to Ajax as he politely asked about it. "I have some legend grade weapons and heaven grade weapons along with some monster peach pills." Ajax had already thought about what he wanted to use for the exchange. So, when the Night ranger asked about it, he directly replied. ''Huh? Legend grade weapons? How many do you have?'' Night ranger was satisfied with Ajax''s exchange of trades as weapons would never lose the market as everyone needed weapons. At the same time, Night ranger asked about the number of the legend grade weapons Ajax had on him. "Enough, I guess." However, Ajax didn''t directly say the number of legend grade weapons he had on him; instead, he asked, "Why don''t I check the items first." After experiencing the stores in the dimension crevice, Ajax had the experience with the stores. So, he asked the storekeeper to show him the items first. "Here." Night ranger knew Ajax''s worry because he had gone through his phase once upon a time. So, he took out one item after another for Ajax to check. Even though the dark elf was not sure whether Ajax really had the legend grade weapons on him or not, he was not worried as Ajax could not escape without paying him for the items he bought. ''Ding, Item name:- Bestialw stone (level 1) Usage:- Using it, a fire elemental spirit beast can learn the bestialw ''Fire aura''. Ajax started his appraising with a bestialw stone as he got the information he needed from the system. ''Even though it was just a level 1 bestialw stone, it is enough for ck kitty and Red kitty to learn it.'' Ajax nned to let the two infernal spirit beasts learn this bestialw and he thought it was possible for both the spirit beasts to learn from a single bestialw stone. ''Ding, Item name:- Heaven-grade Primitive stone. Usage:- Increased the bloodline purity of all the spirit beasts including the King realm spirit beasts. Note:- The effect of this stone on the King realm spirit beast is very low. ''He has three of them. I think I can use one of them to increase the mutated spirit crane''s bloodline purity to 100 percent?'' The first thing he thought of after seeing the information on the Heaven-grade primitive stone was to increase the bloodline purity of little blue. As long as the mutated spirit crane was able to increase her bloodline purity to 100 percent, the so-called inheritance ground of the Crowned turquoise queen will be opened. After that, he no longer needs to carry the mutated spirit beast along with him. ''Other than the mutated spirit crane, I can give these stones to the Golden wyvern king and the five elemental spirit beast.'' Even though his five elemental spirit beast had five elementalws, it didn''t have a bloodline. As for the Golden wyvern king, Ajax already left the aqua dragon blood essence for him. As long as he consumes it, his chances of awakening a dragon bloodline are high. So, this Heaven-grade primitive stone would help him increase the purity and stabilize his newly awakened bloodline. ''Ding, Item name:- Beast evolution crystal. Usage:- It can be used to evolve any spirit beast below the King realm to be a ''King'' in their race. ''So, it can make a normal spirit beast evolve into a ''King'' type spirit beast.'' Ajax was surprised as he felt he should get this crystal at any cost. Even though he had so many contracted spirit beasts, there were not many ''King'' type spirit beasts except for the Golden bear kings and Devourer eagle kings (only 3 so far, 7 are yet to evolve into ''King'' type spirit beasts). "As for the re-cultivation techniques, you can choose whatever you want from the list." Since there were many re-cultivation techniques with Night ranger, he gave a list of re-cultivation techniques he had with him. So that, Ajax could select from it. ''Oh. So many recultivation techniques.'' Ajax was surprised to see all the re-cultivation techniques; however, he tried to remain calm as he searched for the re-cultivation technique he could use. ''Infernal beasts re-cultivation technique.'' ''Monkey king re-cultivation technique.'' ''Lightning cat re-cultivation technique.'' After searching through the list, Ajax found three re-cultivation techniques that his contracted spirit beasts could use for the re-cultivation. So, he chose them. "Three re-cultivation techniques? Okay." Night Ranger was once again surprised; however, he nodded his head as he muttered, ''More he buys, the quicker I can go back.'' "Yes. Give me the price details in the Heaven grade and legend grade weapons." Ajax nodded his head as he asked about the price in terms of the weapons. "Three re-cultivation techniques need 10 high-level heaven grade weapons each." "Beast evolution crystal will be five low-level legend grade weapons." "Three heaven-grade primitive stones will require 20 high-level heaven grade weapons each." "As for the Bestialw stone, three low-level legend grade weapons." "In total, it will be 90 high-level heaven grade weapons and 8 low-level legend grade weapons; otherwise, you can just pay 9 low-level legend grade weapons in ce of 60 high-level heaven grade weapons." Night ranger calcted the prices very quickly as though he was doing the business for a long time despite looking very young. "I have 10 low-level legend grade weapons and I will give another 30 high-level heaven grade weapons. That''s my final price for all the items." After thinking for a while, Ajax bargained for a price where he could be saving 40 high-level heaven grade weapons. "Huh?" Night ranger didn''t agree to Ajax''s deal and at the same time he didn''t reject it as he thought for a while before nodding his head and said, "On one condition." "Sure. Say it." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked the Night ranger about it. "In the future, you have to buy all the items rted to the spirit beasts from me. If you are okay with it, then let''s finish the deal." "Okay." Ajax nodded his head without any hesitation. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1169 - Clearing Law Fruit In his world-conquering mission, Ajax fought some high-level demon kings and he got the legend grade weapons from them. As for the heaven-grade weapons, he had his share of 50 high-level heaven grade weapons from the grey dwarf world. Even though he had 50 high-level heaven grade weapons, Ajax tried to bargain a little because he never knew what kind of item would catch his eye while trading other items. "Thanks for the trade." Soon, both Ajax and Night ranger traded the items within no time and shook their hands with happy smiles. "In the future, I want more heaven-grade primitive stones and bestialws." Beforeing out of the store, Ajax said what items he would need in the future. "Sure. But, this time, I want more low-level legend grade weapons." Night ranger also said what he was hoping from Ajax, to which, Ajax nodded his head. Since they were added as friends through the trading realm, they could contact and chat with each other in the trading realm no matter how far they were from each other. ''There are still 30 minutes left. I think I should search for the items that develop the normal world.'' Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he went to the section where the items rted to the development would be sold. Developing a world didn''t mean just increasing the grade of the world. It should be rich in the essence of nature. It should be able to produce few natural treasures, nts, and cultivation resources. It should be filled with various metals for weapon refining, spirit stone vein and other things. Last but not least, thews in the world should be as clear as possible. So that, the inhabitants could cultivate goodws of all kinds like cultivator''sws, bestialws, elementalws and professionws. ''Thinking ofws, I need to focus on clearing the professionws in the grey dwarf world.'' That''s right! There were other types ofws and it was called Professionws. Unlike the otherws, these professionws don''t need one to cultivate their strength; instead, they just have to focus on their profession. For example, Grey dwarves. Even though they didn''t have an ounce of cultivation, they could cultivate a professionw called ''Weapon refiningw''. It was very hard for anyone from a smaller world like the grey dwarf world to give enlightenment into it; however, things have changed as it was no longer a smaller world. ''Even though it was a normal grade grey dwarf world, it would take a lot of time for thews in that world to get clear. So, I have to speed up the process.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax entered a shop that was maintained by a Primeval ent. "What do you want, young trader?" Seeing that someone entered his store, the Primeval ent opened his eyes and asked in a rough voice. Since it was not his first time seeing a primeval ent Ajax was able to maintain calm and asked, "I am looking for items that could develop a normal world at a faster pace." The Primeval ent, he saw before, was the King of the Spirit beast kings in the inner section of the cursed wilderness who was currently training Geron and Gaimont. However,pared to him, the Primev ent in the store looked very small but he had a variety of leaves on the branches moving out of his head. "Huh? So, is it a recently evolved normal world? Or an old one which you want to develop?" The primeval ent looked at Ajax for a moment before asking those questions. "Why? Is there a difference between them?" Ajax asked with a confused look on his face. "Of course, the items which you used depends on the world whether it was a recently evolved one or an old one." The primeval ents are peaceful spirit beasts from ancient times as he started exining in a calm tone, "If the world is just upgraded, then you need fewer cultivation resources to see more changes in your world; however, it will be opposite the longer you dy the development of the world." "Oh. There is such a thing." Ajax got a new revtion about the worlds and their development as he replied, "It is a newly upgraded normal world." "Haha...I have the right things for a newly upgraded normal world." With a light chuckle, that primeval ent nodded his head as he picked three fruits from many fruits hanging on his branches. "These fruits will be sold together for the owner of the newly upgraded normal world." The primeval ent slowly pushed those three fruits at Ajax and exined about them. ''System, appraise.'' While listening to the primeval ent''s exnation of the fruits, Ajax asked the system to appraise the items. Even though the primeval ents are peace-loving spirit beasts and always lived righteously, Ajax didn''t want to take the risk of getting scammed when he had the ability to check the information on the items in front of him without the other party noticing him. ''Ding, Item name:- Essence gathering fruit (Green colour) Effect:- If a world core consumes this fruit, the world''s essence gathering speed will be increased to that of a normal world''s essence gathering speed within 10 years. Note:- If it is natural, it will take a newly upgraded normal world 100 years to fully gain the normal world''s essence gathering speed. ''Ding, Item name:- Talent blessing fruit (Blue colour) Effect:- If a world core consumes it, the world will give birth to great talent in its inhabitants for every 10 years or less than 10 years. Note:- Without the fruit, a newly upgraded world can only give birth to a great talent every 100 years or less than 100 years. ''Ding, Item name:- Clearingw fruit (Red colour) Effect:- If a world core consumes it, thews in a newly upgraded normal world will only take10 years to make thews as clear as thews in an original normal world. Note:- Without the fruit, a newly upgraded world will need 100 years to be a true normal world. Soon, the information about the three fruits appeared in front of him. Even though the grey dwarf world is a normal world, it is not a perfect normal world and it needs some time to be a perfect normal world. Currently, only its size matches the size of the normal world; however, there was nothing inside it that was better than a normal world that upgraded a few centuries ago. ''These fruits are awesome and he was telling the truth.'' After seeing the information about the three fruits, Ajax confirmed that they were original goods and decided to buy them. ''For worlds. 100 years will bepleted in a sh and with these fruits, I can make the newly upgraded normal world to the perfect normal world within 10 years.'' Ajax was happy that he entered the trading realm; otherwise, he would be clueless about all these things. "So, what are you going to trade these fruits for?" The primeval ent asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1170 - Gift From Universal Summoner In the trading realm, everyone would trade the abundant and rich items specific to their world in exchange for the items to develop their worlds, increase the cultivation, bloodline,ws of their own, or their elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. As long as they felt they could feel the item was useful, the store owners would trade them. So, basically, they would be taking all the items as long as those items have value to them. "I will be trading with high-level heaven grade weapons." Since he had 50 high-level heaven grade weapons that he was supposed to spend for the development of the grey dwarf world. So, he said that he would be trading with those weapons. "I will take the trade." The primeval ent nodded his head and he epted to trade the three fruits with the high-level heaven grade weapons. Hearing that, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and waited for the primeval ent to inform him about the exchange. "Each fruit will cost you around 100 high-level heaven grade weapons. So, it will be 300 high-level heaven grade weapons you need to pay for these fruits." The primeval ent didn''t even think much before saying the price for the fruits. ''What?'' Hearing the insane price from the primeval ent, Ajax could not help but take a deep breath. ''But, these fruits are very helpful for a newly upgraded world.'' However, when he thought about the effects of the fruits, Ajax felt they were not too pricey and within an eptable range. ''Even so, I didn''t have that many weapons to trade with.'' Ajax shook his head as he thought to just leave the store ande again in the next month with more high-level heaven-grade weapons. "What happened, young trader? Are you not going to trade with me?" The primeval ent''s smile disappeared when he saw Ajax''s dejected face as he could guess Ajax didn''t have enough weapons to trade with him. "I don''t have enough high-level heaven grade weapons on me." Ajax shook his head with a bitter smile as he was ready to leave. "If you don''t have the weapons, you can use other items to trade with." However, he was stopped by the primeval ent as the humanoid tree continued speaking, "If you have nothing, you can still take them on a credit." "Huh? Take on credit?" Ajax was surprised when he heard the primeval ent''s words as he didn''t expect he could take credit. "Of course, all the new traders will have a credit limit of 10000 trading tokens which they could use to buy some good things from their first time entering the trading realm." The primeval ent was surprised when he saw how Ajax didn''t know about the basic thing as he asked, "Didn''t your trader''s guide didn''t exin these things to you?" "No." Ajax raised his brows as he shook his head before saying, "I haven''t even seen her as she hid herself in the mist." "What? Interesting?" The primeval ent was a little bit surprised before looking at Ajax with an interesting look on his face and asked, "Looks like you are a little bit special. Anyway, let''s talk business." There are many trader''s guides and each one has different tastes. So, the primeval ent directly asked about the trading. "So, I will take the credit and how much value does one trading token have?" Since his trader''s guide didn''t exin anything to him, Ajax had to find answers to everything inside the trading realm on his own. Trader token is amon currency in the trading realm that the traders could use to buy anything they want if they didn''t have the item their buyer was looking to trade for. However, Ajax didn''t know how many of these special fruits he would get with the 10000 trading tokens credit limit. "For 100 trading tokens, you can buy a high-level heaven grade weapon. So, calcte yourself and see how many fruits you will? get." The primeval ent gave the rough information on the trading tokens. "With 10000 trading tokens, I can buy 100 high-level heaven grade weapons, which means, I can only get one of these fruits." When he found that even with the credit limit, Ajax could only buy a single fruit, making him shake his head. Just as he was thinking whether it was a good thing to take the credit or not, Ajax saw the words made up of mist appear in front of him. ''What?'' Of course, these words, only Ajax could see because that message was meant for Ajax, making Ajax quite shocked. ''Universal summoner? Who might that be?'' Ajax didn''t know anyone in the trading realm before entering it and of course, he didn''t have any friends who had an ancient trading mirror. Moreover, from the virtual name, Ajax guessed that he was a summoner in real life. ''Is it Elder Baron?'' Other than Elder Baron, who possibly might be a universal summoner, Ajax didn''t know anyone who could be sending him gifts. "Hello, young trader. Are you here?" Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts with the Primeval ent''s words and said, "It was nothing. I got a message from my friend as I am asking him whether he could lend me some trading tokens." Ajax said something that came to his mind as he muttered, ''I want to open it.'' Soon, the items he received from the gift box appeared in front of him in the usual mist form. ''On..one million trading tokens?'' Just the first thing is enough for Ajax to shock him before it was a good gift and thought, ''I can buy whatever I want.'' One million trading tokens was a huge sum as he could buy 10000 high-level heaven grade weapons. So, Ajax felt he was rich. ''A special summoning stone and a letter? I will check them after finishing this deal.'' Ajax wanted to check the summoning stone and the letter because he could find who sent him such a good gift box. However, he was reminded that there were only a few minutes left before his one-hour time limit in the trading realm. "I will not be taking the credit as my friend helped me with the trading tokens." After saying that, Ajax took the three fruits from the branch hand of the primeval ent. "Good." The primeval ent was, of course, happy to receive the payment in trading tokens as he could use them to buy anything in the trading realm. Usually, some traders will only exchange for special items or trading tokens. "Just say, ''Pay 30000 trading tokens'' and it will be transferred." Seeing the confusion on Ajax''s face, the primeval ent helped him with the payment. Soon, Ajax paid the trading tokens and added the primeval ent into his friends'' section before leaving the store. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1171 - [Bonus ]Mistaken For Someone Else? Currently, there was only one thing in Ajax''s head and it was to read the letter which he got from the gift box. So, as soon as hepleted the deal with the primeval ent, Ajax didn''t forget to add him to his friends'' section. ''Looks like there are many other Primeval ents like him.'' When he was adding the primeval ent to his friend''s list, Ajax noticed the name of the primeval ent was a little weird. His virtual id was Primeval servant_121 which made Ajax think that there were many other primeval ents like them. What surprised Ajax was that the virtual avatar of the Primeval ent looked more powerful than the primeval ent in the Cursed Wilderness and still, it was named as Primeval servant. ''Looks like the quote ''There is always a higher mountain to climb and bigger fish to catch''.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as his virtual avatar disappeared from the trading realm. .... Somewhere in the trading realm, There was a huge floating castle in the trading realm that was slowly floating to who knows where. "Is there something you want to report?" An old man in golden robes covered inplete gold ornaments looked at a transparent spirit and asked with azy look on his face. "Master, one of my newly born clones detected a mass destruction aura on a new trader today. So, I want your permission to keep an eye on him." The female spirit asked with a respectful look on her face. "There is no need to keep an eye on anyone." However, the old man, who was also the owner of the trading realm, shook his head as he continued, "I don''t care what kind of person they were outside my realm; however, once they were inside the trading realm, they have to follow my rules. At the same time, I will not keep an eye on anyone who is entering the realm. That''s the rule. Did you forget?" By the time the old man finished his words, the old man''s words contained a hint of anger. "I will do as you say, master." The realm spirit was a little disappointed with her master''s words; however, she knows the rules. So, she silently left the hall. ''The more destruction is outside, the more beneficial my trading realm grows. So, of course, I will not put secret tabs on anyone.'' The old man revealed a slight smile on his face as he closed his eyes before disappearing from that ce. ... In the protector castle of the grey dwarf world. Ajax opened his eyes as he hurriedly checked for the items he bought in the trading realm. Even though he was sure, Ajax wanted to check whether he had all the items inside his space ring. When he created his virtual avatar, it was equipped with a space ring that could pass through the trading realm. Before entering the true trading realm, the trader''s guide asked him to transfer all the items he wanted to trade into the new space ring given by her. Also, all items he bought can be stored in that space ring. ''Phew...Everything is here.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw all the items he bought from the trading realm was inside the space ring. ''Time to read the letter.'' The first thing he thought was to read the letter because it was a normal thing to know someone who had given him such a good gift in time of need. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, a golden coloured beast skin parchment appeared in his hands; however, there was nothing on it. ''Huh? There is nothing on it.'' Ajax raised his brows as he didn''t understand why there was nothing on it when it was clearly stated that it was a gift. ''Ding, The letter is sealed. Only the blood of the descendants of whoever wrote this letter will unlock the seal. Just as Ajax was wondering about the beast skin parchment in his hands, he received a system notification that made him nod his head. ''But, do I really have some blood rtives in this world?'' Ajax thought to himself as he continued thinking, ''Let''s see and find out.'' Since the seal on the beast skin parchment would be unsealed with the descendant''s blood, Ajax decided to give it a try. ''Drop'' Without wasting any time, Ajax dropped his blood on the parchment which absorbed the blood within no time, making Ajax surprised. ''Looks like there is really some blood rtive of mine in this world.'' For some reason, Ajax felt a little excited and at the same time, he was hopeful about having a blood rtive. ''Huh?'' However, other than absorbing the blood, there was no reaction from the beast skin parchment, making Ajax frown a little. ''Maybe the gift was a mistake. Instead of sending it to others, they sent it to me.'' That was the only possible conclusion that Ajax came to after waiting for a few minutes without any reaction from the beast skin parchment. ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax was about to throw it into the space ring, the beast skin parchment in his hands started shining with golden light as letters started appearing on the beast skin parchment, giving Ajax a pleasant surprise. ''There are finally some words on it.'' Ajax was excited to see the words on the beast skin parchment and tried his best to suppress his excitement and started reading it. ''Who the hell are you?'' Just reading the first line made Ajax feel that there was something wrong with it; however, he still continued reading the next lines. ''Why are you holding my gift card?'' ''If you don''t send back the things I sent to you, I will hunt you no matter where you are.'' ''Why are you still reading it? Stop reading it, you idiot.'' The more he read the words on the beast skin parchment, the more he understood that this letter was not for him and it was a mistake made by someone named ''Universal summoner''. ''It is you who made the mistake by sending me a gift box and now I got cursed because of it?'' Ajax scoffed at the ''Universal Summoner'' and thought, ''Let''s see how you will be getting those things you gifted me back to you...Haha.'' After reading many curses on the beast skin parchment, Ajax felt he earned those rewards and decided not to return. ''Even if he found me, he can''t do anything to me in the trading realm as cursing, fighting and killing are absolutely restricted in the trading realm.'' There was no fear in Ajax as he decided to be brave when he was the victim in the current situation. ''As for whether he can find me in the real world, let''s see.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax stopped thinking about the ''Universal summoner'' who sent him the gift box. ''There is another item in the gift that is rted to the summoning. Let''s see what it can do.'' After putting an end to his thoughts about the ''Universal summoner'', Ajax took a shining crystal from his space ring. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1172 - Special Summoner Stone If the sender of the gift didn''t use such harsh words and asked normally, Ajax would have returned those items to the so-called Universal summoner. However, now, Ajax didn''t have any ns to return the things he got from the Universal summoner. Since he was not nning to return, Ajax decided to check the item he got with the trading tokens and the letter. ''Ding, Item name:- Special summoner stone. Grade:- Special Usage:- Can allow any being from the non-summoner race to be a summoner. ''Nice item.'' After reading the usage of the crystal in his hand, Ajax revealed an excited smile on his face. Non-summoner races are those races in which no one could be a summoner except for some special cases like the Undead bronze demon king. Generally, demons, dwarves, barbarians, dragons and many other races can''t be the elemental summoners. So, these races were called non-summoner races. However, with the help of the crystal in his hands, Ajax could help someone from these races to be a summoner. ''I think it will be a waste to use it on Dwarves as they basically can''t cultivate.'' Ajax directly eliminated dwarves and thought about the divine dragon and Darbaudr. ''Twilight will gain additional skills and be more powerfulpared to the Barbarian; however, Darbaudr has an elemental affinity with the Space element as he could do miracles with it whenbined with his unique fighting style.'' Ajax thought that Twilight and Darbaudr are good choices for him to select to be an official elemental summoner. ''Let''s go with the divine dragon and if I find a simr item in the future, I can always give it to the barbarian.'' After thinking for a while, Ajax felt that helping the divine dragon to be an official summoner was a good thing. "Anyway, it''s time to feed the world core." Soon, Ajax kept the special summoning stone away as he thought about the world core of the grey dwarf world which appeared in front of him like a loyal servant. "These three fruits will benefit you." Ajax didn''t bother to exin the effects of the three fruits in his hands as he gave them to the small world core hovering in front of him. ''Crunch'' The three fruits disappeared with a crunching sound and seeing that Ajax was not surprised because he had already seen the grey dwarf world''s world core devour the other smaller world cores he had given within less than a minute. So,pared to the smaller world cores, these fruits are just like appetizers for it. "Go and rest for now. I will summon you when I have more good things for you." Looking at the golden world core in front of him that was looking back at him as though it wanted more items to consume, Ajax shook his head and said those words. ''Even though I have a normal world core, I will not be giving it to you anytime soon.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he ordered the system, ''I want to use the normal world''s world core.'' The reason why he was not giving this world core to the grey dwarf world''s world core was not that he had to increase his own cultivation; instead, he wanted the grey dwarf world to be a perfect normal world because he tried to increase its grade to the Greater World. If he rushed things for the world, even if it became a greater world, it would be the worst greater world. He wanted a world that was best in its particr grade instead of bing the worst world in the higher grade. ''Ding, One normal world''s world core is consumed from the host''s inventory. Soon, a normal world core appeared in Ajax''s spirit consciousness which broke within no time as the golden energy rushed out of the world core as it spread to his entire body. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation increased to level 2 elite general realm. ''It''s done. Eight more levels to go.'' Looking at the system notification in front of him, Ajax muttered to himself as he felt it would be easy for him to reach the King realm within no time. ''All I need right now is a level 10 cultivator''sw; however, I can easily increase its level by the time my cultivation increases to level 10 elite general realm.'' Since the one-month time limit was yet to be over, Ajax was not worried much about the cultivator''sw. ''It''s time to check the benefits received by the grey dwarves from the upgraded world core.'' Earlier Ajax found that all the grey dwarves were receiving enlightenment from the world core. He thought the process must have been finished since the world core was resting in the center of the world before he summoned it. With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked out of the protector castle and saw all the grey dwarves were still sitting cross-legged as though they wereprehending what they gained from the golden rays of light from earlier. ''It''s best for them toprehend silently.'' Ajax didn''t want to disturb them and silently flew away from the projector castle as he summoned all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "You can roam freely now." Earlier, the reason he summoned all of them back into his inner world was because of the primordial demon emperors and now, there was no such threat. So, Ajax once again summoned all his summons for them to roam freely. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Soon, everyone started going separate ways to enjoy their free time before the next invasion. However, the devourer eagle kings and the devourer eagle generals were gathered in front of a pile of high-level demon kings'' corpses to resume their devouring. The first devourer eagle king, Alder was guiding the devourer eagle generals along with the other devourer eagle kings. He swore that only after all the devourer eagle generals be the King realm spirit beasts, he would consume the corpses to be a mid-level king realm expert. "Twilight, let''s go somewhere." Ajax nodded his head to Alder to take care of the devourer eagle generals as he jumped onto the divine dragon''s back before flying away from the ce. "Roar" With a roar, the dragon flew into the sky following Ajax''s instructions. "Twilight, do you want to be an official summoner?" While flying on the back of the divine dragon, Ajax asked the dragon about what he thought earlier. ''Roar'' As though it was exciting, the divine dragon roared at the sky before saying, "Of course, I want to be just like a master to have powerful elemental spirits." The divine dragon was following Ajax from the beginning and knew how Ajax was able to form contracts with so many elemental spirits. So, of course, he wanted to be like him. "However, the heavens will not allow a dragon to be a summoner much less a divine dragon like me?" Nevertheless, in the next second, Twilight became depressed as he shook his head. "What if I say that I can help you be an official summoner? Will you stop being yful about everything?" Seeing the depressed look in the divine dragon''s eyes, Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1173 - Silver Demon King There was a reason why many races were restricted by the heavens from bing official summoners. For example, Dragons are so powerful that they basically didn''t have a need to be an official summoner as it would make them even more powerful. When ites to grey dwarves, they have the talent in creating powerful weapons and artifacts and if they could be official summoners, they would create strong artifacts and weapons for their elemental spirits, which makes them very powerful. As for demons, they are very evil and like mindless killing along with the usage of all kinds of evil methods to be powerful. Like this, all those non-summoner races have a special reason for not being able to be summoner races. "Don''t joke, Master." When Twilight heard Ajax''s words, he became excited for a moment before shaking his head. "I asked you, can you stop being yful and focus on truly increasing your strength?" However, Ajax had a serious look on his face as he asked the same question once again. Until now, when all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were focusing on increasing their cultivation and bing stronger, this divine dragon didn''t focus much on increasing his cultivation. Despite that, he was able to be a peak rank 6 spirit beast with a level 3 bestialw that was capable of even killing a weak low-level King realm expert. So, Ajax wanted the divine dragon to focus on its cultivation and be a King realm spirit beast. Then he would be capable of killing mid-level king realm experts without a problem. "If the master really helps be an official summoner, then I will definitely enter the King realm in one year." Seeing how confident his master was, the divine dragon became hopeful as he replied to Ajax. "One year? Who are you fooling?" Ajax scoffed when he heard those words as he continued, "Even if you do nothing and stay in your grade 4 elemental paradise, then you will reach the king realm in a year. So, what is the use of me helping you be an official summoner?" Even though Ajax scoffed on the surface, he was a little disappointed with Twilight''s words because he wanted the divine dragon to focus on the cultivation. "Six months." The divine dragon was able to sense the disappointment in Ajax with his earlier and seriously replied another answer. "Good." Finally, Ajax was able to reveal a smile on his face and decided to give the special summoner stone to Twilight. ''Huh?'' ''Ding, Intruders...intruders...intruders. Just as he was able to give the special summoner stone to the divine dragon, Ajax sensed something and at the same time, he got a system notification, making him confirm what he sensed. "Twilight, let''s kill the intruders before working on your ''summoner'' thing." After saying these words to the divine dragon, Ajax guided the divine dragon to fly into the outeryer of the grey dwarf world. ¡­.. In the outermostyer of the grey dwarf world. "Where did this worlde from?" "I haven''t seen this world before too." "Shall we go and explore this new world? We might find some good resources." A few silver-coloured demons with horns looked at the world that they had just entered and conversed as they looked at the world. They were none other than the Silver demons who belong to a ss higher than Bronze demons and a ss lower than the Golden demons. Currently, there were exactly 12 silver demons and all of them were donned in a full set of armour and heavy weapons as though they were going for a war. Moreover, all of them had the cultivation of the low-level king realm except for the leader of the small expedition group who had a cultivation of the mid-level king realm. Other than the colour and powerful looking musclespared to the bronze demons, these silver demons have an additional thing and it was wings. That''s right! They have silver wings and using these wings, they were about to fly from one world to another world. "What if some powerful expert is residing in the world? Won''t he kill us all?" However, one of the silver demons said something that made all the silver demon kings look at him angrily. "Stop looking at him like that. What he said was of course true; however, as one of the top 100 expedition teams, we should take that kind of risk to be more powerful." However, the leader of that expedition team shouted at him as he reminded them who they were. "Yes, leader. We should die bravely; instead of letting our fear stop us from venturing into new worlds." "If someone is afraid of dying, then they should have not joined the demon expedition unit." Soon, everyone nodded their head and scoffed at the one who was afraid of dying. Nevertheless, he followed them as he flew into the grey dwarf world. "You are not allowed to enter this world." From a distance, a human flying on the divine dragon stopped them. "A divine dragon?" "Also, I sensed the bronze demon king''s curse on that human; however, it was weak." "Isn''t it only a month or so since the bronze demon king put a curse on his life? How did it disappear to the point where I can barely sense it even from this close?" Seeing Ajax and the divine dragon, all the silver demon kings were shocked as they never expected to meet the person they were searching for was right in front of them. However, what shocked them was the bronze demon king''s curse on Ajax''s body which was barely noticed by the leader of the small demon expedition team. "Everyone, stop wasting time and let''s kill him." Soon, the leader of the expedition team shouted at his team members asking them to kill the human and capture the divine dragon. Since the human was still a level 2 elite general realm cultivator, they didn''t think much and even the divine dragon was yet to be a King realm spirit beast. So, they thought they were in luck and didn''t want to waste any more time before finishing the Top-level mission in the Golden demon emperor''s territory. "With such low cultivation, you are not worthy to have a divine dragon as your mount. Only our golden demon emperor should have it." After giving his order to the subordinates, the leader of the small expedition team mocked Ajax as he waited for his subordinates to kill the human. "In your dreams." As for Ajax, he didn''t know whether he should be happy that all his enemies underestimate him a lot or he should cry that everyone was mocking him with his low cultivation. "Since you entered a ce where demons are not allowed, you will be punished with death." Nevertheless, Ajax wasn''t angry with the silver demon king''s words and at the same time, he also didn''t move from his ce before saying those words. "Such big wordsing from a lowly¡­." ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Before the Silver demon king could finish his words, his head along with his subordinates'' heads was separated from their bodies. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1174 - Using The Special Summoner Stone ''Ding, The host killed a mid-level silver demon king and gained 750 spirit points. ''Ding, The host killed 11 low-level silver demon kings and gained 5500 spirit points. Soon, Ajax got the system notifications informing him about his gains. ''Looks like the reward for killing Low-level demon kings will be reduced even more.'' Previously, wherever he killed a low-level demon king, he would have gained 1000 spirit points; however, it started decreasing and only the high-level demon kings can give him the 1000 spirit points. ''Anyway, I didn''t make any effort. So, these are basically free spirit points.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax stored the silver demon kings'' corpses in the inventory beforending on the ground. ''Without a barrier, I will be busy guarding this world.'' Ajax shook his head as he knew he had to stay in the grey dwarf world until the barrier was manifested by the Ancient protector shield. If it was three or four low-level king realm experts, Ajax didn''t have to worry; however, if there were more than five low-level king realm experts or a mid-level king realm expert, then it would be a problem for his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to take care of the invaders. ''Since they were mentioning the Golden demon emperor, this region must be under him.'' Without much thinking, Ajax got to know from the silver demon kings'' words that this region is under the control of the golden demon king. ''Escaped from the primordial demon emperor only to enter the Golden demon emperor''s region. I have to be careful as I can''t teleport the entire world once again until a year.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he jumped off the dragon''s back. So, he had to stay in the grey dwarf world all the time until the barrier was back again. ''Looks like I will justplete the mission which I am keeping on hold for a while.'' If he destroyed any of his surrounding normal worlds, Ajax knew that the golden demon emperor woulde for him. Unlike the smaller worlds, the normal worlds were very valuable to the demon emperors as they would closely monitor these normal worlds from time to time. So, Ajax decided toplete a mission instead of entering the nearby smaller worlds or normal worlds around the grey dwarf world. Some might think why can''t he just focus on the smaller worlds around the grey dwarf world; however, if he destroyed them, the golden demon emperor might send some powerful apostles since the grey dwarf world was not in an outer section of the golden demon emperor''s territory; instead, it was a little closer to the middle section. ''So, I will wait for a month, then enter the? undead bronze demon world,plete the mission of saving the elemental spirits.'' Ajax carefully nned his next set of ns as he continued, ''I hope Alder reaches the mid-level king realm by that time. Then, killing the Undead bronze demon king won''t be a problem for him.'' All his expectations were on his first devourer eagle king as he was very close to entering the mid-level king realm. ''Anyway, I will try my luck with the divine dragon too.'' Other than the devourer eagle kings, the divine dragon can kill a low-level king realm expert with a lot of difficulties. So, if the divine dragon bes an official summoner and gains some official skills, then his battle prowess will rise to the next level. ''Also, I still have the beast evolution crystal and other things for my contracted spirit beasts, I hope there will be a miracle.'' When he thought about the items he traded in the trading realm, Ajax felt confident in destroying the undead bronze demon king. Because Ajax didn''t have any clue about the strength of the undead bronze demon king, he could only increase his strength and his summons'' strength as high as possible "Twilight, since the pests are gone, let''s focus on you bing an official summoner." Soon, Ajax came to the main business that was interrupted by the silver demon kings earlier as he gave the special summoner stone. ''Roar'' Hearing Ajax''s words, the divine dragon was excited as he roared at the sky. "Here, I am trusting you with your words to be a King realm spirit beast within six months. If you don''t keep it, all the good items will be given to the devourer eagle kings." Before giving the special summoner stone, Ajax seriously said these words to the divine dragon because he knew that the divine dragon feels threatened for his food when he heard the three worlds ''Devourer eagle kings''. So, he hurriedly nodded his head before eating the special summoner stone. ''Ding, The host''s divine dragon consumed a Special summoner stone. ''Ding, The divine dragon needs to undergo heavenly tribtion to sessfully be an official summoner. Just as the divine dragon swallowed the special summoner stone, Ajax received two system notifications; however, he was not surprised by the heavenly tribtion because he already knew about it. Moreover, Ajax already had an experience with the lightning tribtion and prepared everything for it. ''Swoosh'' "Summoner master, we are here." Just as Ajax was waiting for the lighting tribtion, a small portal opened behind him, as two elemental spirits walked out of the portal. They were none other than the space elemental spirit Prophis and lightning elemental spirit Cerauno. "You are right on time." When he saw the two elemental spirits he called earlier, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Twilight needs to ovee the lightning tribtion to be the official summoner. I need your help." Looking at the two visibly shocked elemental spirits, Ajax asked for their help. "What?" "Divine dragon is trying to be an official summoner?" Both the elemental spirits were shocked as they looked at the grinning divine dragon in the distance. "We will help to the best of their ability." Nevertheless, they came out of their shock as they nodded their heads. "Thanks." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Prophis, you need to create the portals to slightly deviate the lightning falling onto the divine dragon." "As for you, Cerauno, you have to absorb the lightning energy to reduce the power of the lightning falling onto the dragon." "Remember, you have to maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the divine dragon; otherwise, the heavens will send three times more powerful lighting shes." Ajax gave his orders to both the elemental spirits who nodded their heads before positioning themselves in two different sides of the divine dragon. ''System, are you sure the heavens will not send the powerful lightning shes with the interference of the two elemental spirits?'' After the divine dragon and the two elemental spirits were in their positions, Ajax asked the system about it because it was the system that suggested taking the help of the elemental spirits. ''Ding, Yes. As long as the two elemental spirits are 100 meters away from the divine dragon, the heavens will not bother about them. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1175 - Divine Dragon Undergoes The Lightning Tribulation Actually, Ajax wanted to use his protector''s title to stop the lightning tribtion; however, he was stopped by the system that said if he got involved with the lightning tribtion directly, the divine dragon would die in the first lightning sh. Because, currently, Ajax is an emperor realm expert in the grey dwarf world and the lightning tribtion would be powerful enough to kill an emperor realm expert, not to mention the divine dragon that was yet to enter the King realm. So, Ajax rejected the thought of meddling with the lightning tribtion directly; instead, he chose to send two elemental spirits below the King realm to assist the divine dragon. "Okay. I hope everything goes as I expected." After hearing the system''s confirmation, Ajax decided to have some faith in the system. In other words, he didn''t want unexpected things to happen. ''Rumble'' Soon, clouds in the sky turned pitch-ck as they collided with one another before merging into a huge ck-coloured cloud that was filled with lightning arcs. ''Here ites.'' Within no time, the tribtion cloud was ready as Ajax could sense the powerful lightning shes ready tond on the divine dragon anytime. ''Swoosh'' Just as he finished his words, Ajax saw a powerful lightning shing out of the tribtion cloud. ''Swoosh'' However, before itnded on the divine dragon, two small portals were very close and parallel to one another; however, the lower portal was a few inches away from the dragon. Soon, the upper portal sucked the lightning sh and directed it into the ground a few inches away from the dragon using the portal beneath it. ''Roar'' Even though the first lightning sh was deflected a little, Prophis was very careful not to deflect it a little away from the divine dragon because it would only anger the tribtion cloud. The divine dragon only received half the damage as he roared in pain. Here, the n was not topletely teleport the lightning sh; instead, it was to decrease the power of the lightning sh and help the divine dragon in escaping the critical hits by the lightning cloud. So, Prophis only helped the divine dragon to escape the critical hit. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' Within no time, the second lighting sh came out of the tribtion cloud as it rushed towards the divine dragon at an incredible speed. ''Ultimate weapon creation.'' This time, it was Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit''s turn to help the divine dragon. So, he used his basic skill that turned into a powerful skill after many battles. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used that skill, thousands of all types of weapons appeared in the air above him. ''Boom'' In the next second, all the weapons merged into a powerful lightning spear. ''Shud'' ''Roar'' Just as Cerauno created a huge powerful-looking lightning spear in the air, the second lightning shnded on the divine dragon, making it roar in pain. However, the power of the second lightning sh was very lesspared to the first lightning sh. ''Disperse.'' With a satisfied smile on his face, Cerauno dispersed his lightning spear. ''Well done, Cerauno.'' At the same time, Ajax and Prophis were surprised at the capability of the lightning elemental spirit as they congratted him. ''It''s nothing, summoning.'' First, Cerauno shook his head at Ajax with a slight smile on his face and next, he looked at Prophis and asked, ''So, is it your turn or should I use my skill to decrease the lightning energy from the lightning sh once again.'' That''s right! Earlier, Cerauno used his skill ''Ulitmate weapon creation'' to reduce the lightning energy from the lightning sh. When he used that skill, Cerauno needed a lot of lightning energy from his surroundings to create the weapons. The more powerful and denser the lightning energy around him was, the more powerful and quicker the weapons would form. Since the lightning sh had both powerful and pure lightning energy, Cerauno was able to create thousands of weapons in a split second and used even more lightning energy tobine all the weapons to be a single powerful weapon. Because of that, the second lightning sh''s power reduced greatly; however, still, it was powerful enough to make the divine dragon roar in pain. ''This is my turn.'' However, why would Prophis let the lightning elemental spirit contribute so much? Without any hesitation, he rejected Cerauno''s words as he created another two small and parallelly aligned portals to split a small portal of the lightning sh to the ground again. Third lightning sh, the divine dragon sessfully survived. Fourth lightning sh, Cerauno used the same skill to reduce the energy of the lightning sh. Fifth¡­ Sixth..... Within no time, six lightning shesnded on the divine dragon and as long as it survived another lightning sh, the divine dragon had no problem in bing an official elemental spirit. ''Phew...there is not a single injury so far. This is going as I expected.'' After every lightning sh, Ajax would check the injuries on the divine dragon''s body; however, after finding that there were no injuries except for a few broken dragon scales, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''However, thisst one is taking so much time toe out of the tribtion cloud.'' Nevertheless, what made him worried was that the seventh lightning sh, which was also thest lightning sh, was taking so much time as though the tribtion cloud was preparing some powerful lightning sh before disappearing. ''Prophish, Cerauno, this time, you will both help him.'' ''Twilight, you have to endure it. As long as you endure it, you will be an official elemental summoner.'' Since the lightning cloud was preparing a powerful lightning sh for the divine dragon, Ajax was also making his own preparations. His preparations included motivating the divine dragon and ordering the two elemental spirits. ''Yes, summoning master.'' ''Yes, master.'' Along with the two elemental spirits, the divine dragon also nodded his head because he knew what he was going to achieve after enduring thest lightning sh was Heaven-defying. ''Good'' Seeing the confidence in the divine dragon, Ajax nodded his head as he muttered, ''You can do it.'' Ajax was sure that even without the help of the two elemental spirits, the divine dragon would have endured the first six lightning shes; however, Ajax didn''t want to take any risks. Moreover, unlike the other lightning tribtions, the current lightning tribtion was different as the lightning shes are not used to temper the body because unlike the lightning tribtion that generally appeared when a cultivator was progressing to another major realm in his cultivation, this lightning tribtion was different. So, these lightning tribtions would not be giving any kind of benefits to the one who is undergoing the lightning tribtion. ''If this lighting tribtion gives any benefits, then I would have not interfered with it and let the divine dragon have all the benefits.'' Ajax knew what he was doing as looked at the tribtion cloud in the sky and muttered, ''Come out, already.'' ''Rumble'' Just as he finished his words, a powerful purple-coloured lighting sh came out of the tribtion cloud as it rushed towards the divine dragon. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1176 - Angry Universal Summoner ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Thest lightning sh from the tribtion cloud was very fast that Ajax and the other two elemental spirits barely saw before it hit the divine dragon. The moment itnded on the divine dragon, there was a huge explosion and the impact from that explosion sted away Ajax and his two elemental spirits. ''What the hell?'' Ajax didn''t expect the tribtion cloud to release thest lightning sh at such an incredible speed as he hurriedly rushed towards the divine dragon the moment he woke up. He was very sure that Prophis and Cerauno didn''t use their skills to reduce the impact of the lightning sh. So, he was worried about the divine dragon. "Twilight...twilight." Ajax shouted as he searched for the divine dragon using his senses as he could not see through the smoke. ''He is in that direction.'' Once he sensed the location of the divine dragon, Ajax rushed in the direction as he slipped into a crater created by thest lightning sh. In the center of the crater, the huge divine dragon was sleeping with all his scales half-broken along with a huge injury on its back. ''Twilight'' Looking at the dust-covered sleeping divine dragon in front of him, Ajax felt his heart ache with pain. Ajax had never seen the divine dragon in such a condition as he was used to seeing it yful all the time. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s divine dragon for sessfully surviving the lightning tribtion. ''Ding, The host''s divine dragon is now an official summoner who needs to enter the elemental spirit world to form contracts with the elemental spirits. Note:- A spirit beast that became a summoner can form a single official contract with the elemental spirits for every two ranks. Just as he sat beside the divine dragon to check the condition of the divine dragon, Ajax received system notifications. "Twilight, congrattions on bing an official summoner." With tears filled eyes, Ajax congratted the divine dragon as he used his Sacred Astral Energy to heal the injuries of the divine dragon. ''I...did...it, Master.'' In a weak voice, the divine dragon transmitted his voice to Ajax. Even though the voice was very weak, Ajax could sense the excitement behind the world. ''If he was not injured, then he would have roared to his heart''s content.'' This divine dragon''s favourite thing was to roar at the sky. No matter whether it was excitement, anger or sadness, he would do it. So, Ajax thought about it and looked at the divine dragon before shaking his head. ''Don''t worry, Twilight. I will heal you in no time.'' Since the Sacred Astral Healer was an ancient and powerful profession that heals almost any injury, Ajax poured the Sacred Astral Energy into the divine dragon to heal his injuries. ''Swuu'' Soon, the severe injury on the divine dragon''s back started healing at a visible rate and within no time, the divine dragon''s physical injuries were healed. However, the divine dragon was still weak as he didn''t try to stand up as he knew he didn''t have enough energy. ''Ding, The host used 100 units of the Sacred Astral Energy to heal the divine dragon. ''Ding, The capacity of the Sacred Astral Space has increased by 100 units and reached a total capacity of 641 units. ''Ding, Remaining Sacred Astral Energy:- 249 units. ''100 units of Sacred Astral Energy is a little too much; however, in front of Twilight, it was nothing.'' Ajax cared for his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. So, he didn''t mind spending his entire Sacred Astral Energy to save him; instead, he would be more than happy to spend. Looking at the system notifications in his head, Ajax nodded his head and patted the divine dragon before saying, "You will be alright now. Why don''t you eat something?" After saying that, Ajax summoned a silver demon king''s corpse and ced it in front of the divine dragon. ''Crunch'' Even though the divine dragon was tired, he started eating because it was also his favourite thing other than shouting. Nevertheless, he was very slow in eating. "Summoning master, sorry for not helping much when the divine dragon needed us the most." Soon, the two elemental spirits rushed towards Ajax as they hurriedly apologized. "There is no need to apologize. You did what you could do." No one was expecting the tribtion cloud to surprise them on thest tribtion. So, Ajax asked them to not apologize. "You can go and take a rest now." After saying that, Ajax sat beside the divine dragon as he rested his back against the divine dragon which was busy eating. ¡­.. In the trading realm. ''Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.'' An old man dressed in exquisite robes cursed in his heart. If he was not in the trading realm, he would curse as loudly as possible because he was not allowed to curse openly. As for why he was very angry was because he sent a gift box to the wrong person. "My granddaughter is going to kill me if she finds out that I sent the gift box to the wrong person again. Looks like I have to keep it a secret and prepare another gift box for her birthday." It took a while for the old man to calm down and he suppressed his anger towards the wrong person deep in his heart and decided to hide it from his granddaughter. Even though he was in the wrong, as a frustrated old man, he didn''t want to admit his mistake and entirely med the person he mistakenly sent the gift box. ''Sigh...it is a pity that her dragon missed a chance to be an official summoner.'' Still, there was some regret in the old man''s eyes as he thought about missing the Special summoner stone. Even though it was not his first time sending the items to the wrong person, this time was different because he sent a valuable item. But he was sure that he would not get the item back. ''Harbinger of the destruction. If? I ever see you in real life or in the trading realm, I will make you regret receiving my gift box.'' The old man clenched his fists as he muttered to himself. These are just the words of an old man who was frustrated for losing the special summoner stone but deep down, even the old man knows that he can''t do anything to that person in the trading realm. As for doing something in real life, he didn''t even know the facial features of the virtual avatar, much less the facial features of the person in the real world. ''I should stop thinking about him; otherwise, I will die because of this anger.'' The old man tried his best to stop thinking about it; however, he was still unable to forget it. ''Anyway, I will just find something even better than the special summoner stone.'' Soon, he went to trade for another good item to gift his grand daughter for her birthday. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1177 - Quasi-King Grade Weaponsmith In the grey dwarf world, ''Roar'' A heaven-defying roar resounded in a certain ce that shook quarters of the grey dwarf world. The roar belonged to none other than the divine destructive twilight dragon and it took only a couple of hours for the divine dragon to return to its peak state. The credit would of course go to the mid-level silver demon king''s corpse that Ajax gave to the divine dragon. ''Finally, he is back to normal.'' Only after seeing the excited divine dragon in front of him, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief as he asked the dragon, "How is it? Do you want to form an official contract with an elemental spirit?" ''Of course.'' The divine dragon was excited to form an official contract with his first elemental spirit. "However, you have to wait for some time as there is no elemental spirit world connected to this grey dwarf world." But Ajax''s words made the divine dragon''s excitement disappear into thin air. "I will wait." Other than waiting, the divine dragon could do nothing for now. "Don''t worry, it won''t take long before we will be invading the Undead bronze demon king''s world. At that time, you can enter the elemental spirit world, connect to that world and shake it entirely." Earlier, while the divine dragon was eating, Ajax was thinking about a n to save the entire elemental spirit world that was under the control of the Undead bronze demon king. And he felt Twilight will be of great use to him as he could also enter the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form because he is an official summoner now. Unlike humans, the divine dragons will not have any trouble in forming a contract with the elemental spirits because they were famous enough for everyone to ept a divine dragon as their master without much convincing. "I am waiting for that day toe sooner." When he heard that, the divine dragon excitedly nodded his head. "However, before that, I want you to think about whether you want to remain in the spirit beast form forever or you want to re-cultivate." Other than thinking about saving the elemental spirit world, Ajax also thought about how powerful the divine dragon will be if he re-cultivated into a human. A couple of months back, the divine dragon who was not a divine dragon yet, awakened a re-cultivation technique from his ancestral memories; however, back then, the dragon didn''t want to re-cultivate to be a human. However, Ajax hoped that during all this time, Twilight must have changed his thoughts. ''...'' The divine dragon didn''t answer Ajax''s question as he fell into his own thoughts thinking about the re-cultivation technique he had awakened back then. "Just imagine, if you re-cultivate, you will be even more powerful in the same realm and not only that, you will also receive a re-cultivated artifact or weapon." Seeing that the divine dragon didn''t speak, Ajax said his thoughts and left the decision for the divine dragon to make. "Think about it and I hope you won''t regret whatever decision you make today. Speaking of re-cultivation, I need to help my other contracted spirit beasts with it." Soon, Ajax remembered about the re-cultivation technique and other items that could help his contracted spirit beasts be more powerful. Because the divine dragon was injured until now, he stayed with it to make the divine dragon feel that he was not alone; however, the divine dragon ispletely healed and more powerful than before. So, he wanted to focus on other things. ''Swoosh'' After saying that, Ajax summoned his ancient protector sword and flew away while calling all his contracted spirit beasts to gather in front of the protector castle. ''I think all the grey dwarves must have finished their enlightenment by now, right?'' Since it''s been more than four or five hours since he left the protector castle, Ajax was not worried that he would be disturbing the grey dwarves. As for the divine dragon, he was still standing in the crater thinking about Ajax''s words. ... In front of the protector''s castle. Within no time, Ajax had reached the protector castle and saw the grey dwarves were still surrounding the protector castle. However, unlike before, all the grey dwarves were currently standing as though they were waiting for Ajax toe. Behind these grey dwarves, all the contracted spirit beasts except for the divine dragon were standing and waiting for Ajax just like the grey dwarves. ''Swoosh'' "Protector" Seeing Ajax flying on his ancient protector swords, all the grey dwarves became excited as they hurriedly greeted him with faces full of respect. "Hello, everyone. I see everyone in high spirits today. Is it because of the world upgrade and the enlightenment you gained from the world core?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax greeted all the grey dwarves as he asked them. "We are excited for both." The old dwarf advisor represented the entire grey dwarves in the world as he continued speaking, "However, there was another thing we are more excited aboutpared to the two earlier things." "And what that might be?" Ajax was surprised because he didn''t know there was a third reason for the grey dwarves to be excited and asked him with a curious look on his face. "It is you, protector. We are excited and feel lucky to have you as our protector." The old dwarf replied with a respectful look on his face along with a serious look because he didn''t want Ajax to think he was saying just because he wanted to be in the good books of Ajax. "Haha" Hearing that answer, Ajax could not help butugh out loud as he replied, "Likewise. I am happy to be a protector of this world." "Thank you, Protector." "Thank you, Protector." The old advisor thanked Ajax when he heard Ajax''s words and followed by the old advisor, the rest of the grey dwarves did the same. "Okay, okay, okay." Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the grey dwarves before asking, "So, can you tell me is there anyone who became a King realm weaponsmith after receiving the enlightenment?" That was the main thing Ajax wanted to know. So, he asked them about it. "..." There wasplete silence as no grey dwarf came forward, making Ajax slightly frown. "Sorry to inform you this protector; however, there was no king grade weaponsmith in the earlier enlightenment process." As usual, the old grey dwarf advisor Tunmil represented all the grey dwarves as he continued to reply, "However, there are 101 quasi-king grade weaponsmiths. As long as they train harder, bing a King grade weaponsmith in a decade or so is possible." "101 quasi-king grade weaponsmiths?" Ajax was surprised when he heard there were that many quasi-king grade weaponsmiths in this world now. Quasi-king grade weaponsmith is a grade that was very close to the King grade; however, it wascking something to be an actual King grade. As long as these quasi-king grade weaponsmiths found out what it was, bing a King grade weaponsmith was not impossible. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1178 - Master The ’Bloodthirsty’ Nature Even though these quasi-king grade weaponsmiths still have a long way to go to be king grade weaponsmiths, it was not very hard for them. As long as they work hard, they would be King grade weaponsmiths within a decade or so. "From now on, these 101 quasi-king grade weaponsmiths will be refining only low-level legend grade weapons. Tunmil, give them the high-level materials for that." Ajax nced at the 101 grey-dwarves, who were all old and among them, Tunmil, the dwarf advisor, was also one. After thinking for a moment, Ajax felt that other than 300 young grey dwarves, he had to nurture these 101 old grey dwarves, whose chances of bing the King grade weaponsmiths were high. So, he ordered the old advisor Tunmil to share the high-level materials for weapon refining with others. "Yes, protector." "Thank you, protector." All the old dwarves who became quasi-king grade weaponsmiths thanked Ajax with faces full of respectful looks. "As for others, you don''t have to worry about your weaponsmith grade and just continue to work hard. You will be given enough resources to practice your weaponsmithy." Giving all the good things to only a few grey dwarves would make others disappoint, jealous and envy. So, Ajax didn''t want that to happen as he tried to be fair and square. "Protector, you don''t have to worry about the other grey dwarves that might get jealous and envy those who are getting all the good things. Because they knew that it was for the welfare of the world." One of the middle-aged grey dwarves shouted in reply to Ajax''s words because it could sense what''s bothering Ajax. "Yes, protector." "You just have to do what you want to do to upgrade the grey dwarf world and they will support you." "Yes, protector." Soon, all the grey dwarves started shouting in support of the middle-aged grey dwarf''s words. ''Huh?'' Ajax was surprised to see such good support from the grey dwarves but he still felt that sooner orter, someone would show dissatisfaction over his partiality to those who have good weaponsmith rank and talent. "It doesn''t matter. Every dwarf''s weaponsmith rank and potential will be evaluated soon and depending on that, you will get the set of weapon refining resources." Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want to give that chance to any of the grey dwarves. So, he wanted to follow certain rules. "Lurmer, you will be doing that. You can pick whoever you want and finish it within a week. Do you understand?" Ajax didn''t want any grey dwarf to speak as he directly gave the order to his second dwarf followers because he was neither in the 300 young dwarves nor 101 old dwarves. "Yes, master." Lurmer nodded his head in response. "Okay, everyone. You can leave now." Even though Ajax wanted to know the increment in the potential of the young dwarves, he thought about the evaluation report that would be prepared by Lurmer in a week and rejected the thought of asking the young dwarves about it and asked everyone to go back. "Yes, protector." Soon, all the grey dwarves left the protector castle and went back to their houses. "Come." After they left, Ajax called his contracted spirit beasts that were waiting for him in the distance. "You are all looking powerful." Looking at his contracted spirit beasts in front of him, Ajax was proud and satisfied to be able to have such spirit beasts. All the spirit beasts in front of him had a minimum strength of rank 6 and were just waiting to awaken their own bestialws and cultivate them before entering into the King realm. "We want to enter the next invasion, master." "When is the next invasion, master?" "The only way I can awaken a bestialw is through fighting." All the contracted spirit beasts were waiting for their next invasion and asked Ajax about it because a spirit beast can quickly increase its strength through fighting. So, everyone was asking about it. "Everyone, calm down." Ajax shook his head as he calmly said, "For the next one month, there will be no invasion for the spirit beasts as you are losing control of yourself and letting your bestial nature take over you." His initial proud and satisfied looks on his face disappeared when he saw how bloodthirsty his contracted spirit beasts had be. So, with a face full of seriousness, Ajax berated all the spirit beasts. He wanted his contracted spirit beasts to fight but he didn''t want that mindless killing to control them and he noticed they were bing bloodthirsty which was obviously not a good sign. "..." All his contracted spirit beasts became silent with Ajax''s words. "You are bing more and more bloodthirsty with all these invasions and killing. So, those who can control this bestial nature of yours can continue following me into these invasions." Ajax calmly replied to the contracted spirit beasts. It was not a bad thing for a spirit beast to be bloodthirsty as it would only increase its strength; however, for Ajax, it might not be a good thing because if these spirit beasts lose control over their senses amidst the fight, they would not differentiate between the friend or foe. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want his contracted spirit beasts to suppress this bestial nature; instead, he wanted them to take full control over this bloodthirsty nature of theirs. "So, what do you say?" After exining all his thoughts about the bloodthirsty nature, Ajax asked his contracted spirit beasts about it. "We will master it, master." After understanding Ajax''s concerns, all the spirit beasts nodded their heads and agreed to control their bloodthirsty nature before going on any invasion. "Good." Ajax knew it was an easy thing for his contracted spirit beasts because they were still in the starting stage of this bloodthirsty nature. Nodding his head at them, Ajax continued, "While you are at it, I have some gifts for you that will help you increase your battle prowess." While saying these words, Ajax took out the items he bought in the trading realm. ''Roar'' Hearing that their master had brought them some gifts, all the contracted beasts became excited and roared at the sky. "First, everyone will be receiving a re-culitvation technique and it is up to you whether you want to re-cultivate or not because once you sessfully re-cultivate, you need to start your cultivation from the start." "However, it will be much faster and you can catch up to your original cultivation within no time." "As for the benefits of the re-cultivation, your battle prowess will increase drastically in the same realm and you will be awakening a special re-cultivated artifact or weapon." "So, decide for yourself. Also, re-cultivation might help you with your bloodthirsty nature because, after re-cultivation, you will be into humanoid beings." "Zan and Dan are examples of the re-cultivated spirit beasts. So, you can see how powerful they became after their re-cultivation for yourself" In a short time, Ajax said all the benefits of the re-cultivation technique and the only disadvantage of it was to start over their cultivation once again from the beginning. In the end, he even pointed at the golden bear kings as an example. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1179 - Rewarding The Contracted Spirit Beasts Other than Snow and Sparrow, the golden bear kings, who re-cultivated after forming a contract with him, turned intopletely different beings and became powerful. Zan the little golden bear king could fight a low-level king realm expert for a while with just a level 1 bestialw along with his re-cultivated artifact and the power he got from the re-cultivation. So, he chose them as examples to show how powerful they could be after their re-cultivation. "We are waiting for the re-cultivation techniques for a while now, master." "Yes, master. After seeing Zan and Dan, we wanted to be powerful." . . Actually, Ajax didn''t need to tempt them in choosing the re-cultivation technique because they were more than willing to re-cultivate and turn into humanoids or humans. "Good. Take them." Soon, Lucas gave the crystals in which a re-cultivation technique was stored in each one of them to all his contracted spirit beasts. ''Now, all my contracted spirit beasts will be re-cultivating.'' Ajax already chose the suitable re-cultivation techniques for his contracted spirit beasts. So, he was not worried. "ck kitty, you need to wait untill the red kitty re-cultivates after that, he will teach you." Next, Ajax said about the single re-cultivation technique he bought for the ck kitty and Red kitty because they could use the same one to re-cultivate. So, Ajax didn''t wait for any weapon to trade for another one. "Okay, master." Since the ck kitty and red kitty are a couple, the ck kitty didn''t mind waiting for her husband. "Until then, you can use this Bestialw stone." Ajax was satisfied with the ck kitty and Red kitty as he threw a red-coloured crystal towards it. Since he only got a fire-elemental bestial crystal, Ajax could either give it to the red kitty or ck kitty. Since he had already given the red kitty an opportunity to re-cultivate first, he thought it would be appropriate to give the fire bestialw stone to the ck kitty. "Thank you, master." Both Red kitty and ck kitty thanked Ajax. "Damilius, the sea tauren, you are already a humanoid beast. So, you can''t re-cultivate, right?" Actually, all his powerful spirit beasts like Snow, Sparrow, Raweth are already re-cultivated and the four-eyed ghost fox and the five elemental spirit beast was in the five elemental world. As for the golden bear kings, they were already re-cultivated. So, there were not many spirit beasts in front of him that required the re-cultivation techniques. Two infernal spirit beasts like Red kitty and ck kitty, twin-tailed lightning cat are the only ones who needed re-cultivated techniques. "Yes, master." Damilius nodded his head. "So, I will give you this stone." Ajax threw a stone at the sea tauren because that was the only spirit beast to whom he had never done anything. So, Ajax felt like he should give the beast evolution stone to that spirit beast. "Th..this is really for me?" The sea tauren was surprised as he asked Ajax with suppressed excitement. "Yes. I hope you will evolve into a new spirit beast." Among all his contracted spirit beasts, Sea tauren had a good solid foundation when ites to his cultivation; however, his skills arecking inparison with other contracted spirit beasts. So, Ajax was really hoping that the sea tauren would evolve into a powerful spirit beast. "Thank you, master." Damilius was greatly excited as he hurriedly thanked Lucas. "Red kitty, ck kitty and lightning. You have no bloodlines. So, these heaven-grade primitive stones will help you awaken good bloodlines." After settling the sea tauren, Ajax looked at the three spirit beasts that he got from the five elemental world and gave them a heaven-grade primitive stone each. "Zan and Dan, you already have the bestialws and good bloodlines. So, you will not be getting any items as of now." After the golden bear kings, they alreadypleted their re-cultivation, had good bloodline and powerful skills. So, he didn''t have anything that would increase their powers even more. "You have already given us so much, master. There is no need for more." The golden bear king, Dan, shook his head and said those words. "Alder, I have one Gaint eagle re-cultivation technique, do? you really not want it?" After settling the contracted spirit beasts below the King realm, Ajax looked at the huge devourer eagle king and asked. "Master, this giant eagle re-cultivation technique can help me turn into a humanoid; however, it is not highlypatible with us, the devourer eagle kings." Alder shook his head as he continued, "Anyway, after a few days, there would be 11 devourer eagle kings under you. So, if any one of us awakens a devourer eagle re-cultivation technique, we will definitely re-cultivate without any hesitation." That''s right! Just like the elemental affinity, there should be an affinity between the spirit beast and the re-culitvation technique. So, the devourer eagle king wanted to wait until he found a suitable one. At that time, all the devourer eagles under Ajax would be re-cultivated and transformed into humans. "Sure" Ajax didn''t force them and understood what the devourer eagle king wanted. The more affinity a re-cultivation technique has with the spirit beast, the more powerful they would be along with a high-level re-cultivated item. "So, how is the progress with the devourer eagle generals?" After he distributed all the items he bought in the trading realm, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king a question. "There are still four more devourer eagle generals that needed to consume the corpses to be the King realm spirit beast. The first devourer eagle general, who transformed into a demonic devourer eagle king also became a King realm spirit beast and his portal creation ability can be used again." These words made Ajax reveal an excited smile on his face. ''Even if I can''t travel to the other worlds, that doesn''t mean I can''t send my elemental spirits to the other worlds to conquer. However, I will wait until all my spirit beasts finish their re-cultivation and use the primitive stones to enhance their bloodline.'' ''Also, there is another thing all my spirit beasts needed to do and it was to control their bloodthirsty nature. Until then, I can only send my elemental spirits for conquering.'' Soon, Ajax started nning his next steps as he looked at the devourer eagle king before nodding his head. "Alder, go and focus on training the rest of the devourer eagle generals. I wanted all of them to be the devourer eagle kings as soon as possible. At the same time, you and the other devourer eagles need to control your ''bloodthirsty'' nature just like other contracted spirit beasts." "Yes, master." Hearing Ajax''s words, the devourer eagle king nodded his head before flying away to guide the devourer eagle generals to be the devourer eagle kings. "So, what about you three little ones?" After everything was over, Ajax nced at the three demonic spirit beasts that were looking at Ajax as though they were expecting something from him. "Eat this special spirit beast food. It will help you be powerful." Since the special spirit beast food helps the young spirit beasts, Ajax gave them one portion after some thought. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1180 - Sea Tauren King After one month. ''I think it is time for the barrier to appear again.'' Ajax opened his eyes as thew stone in his hands turned into dust while thinking about the protective barrier around the grey dwarf world. It''s been exactly one month since the grey dwarf world upgraded to normal grade and the previous protective barrier was destroyed. However, after killing the dozen silver demon kings on the first day, there were no more invadersing to the grey dwarf world, making Ajax bored. So, he started cultivating his cultivator''sw to make use of the ''One-month cultivation speed''. Finally, after one month of cultivating the cultivator''sw, thew stone in his hands turned into dust. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully cultivating the cultivator''sw to level 10. ''Ding, One of the conditions to enter the King realm has been met. ''Ding, Please increase your cultivation to level 10 elite general realm before unlocking the final requirement to enter the King realm. Just as he was thinking about the protective barrier, Ajax received a series of system notifications, making him reveal a slight smile on his face, ''I never thought I would reach level 10 in the cultivator''sw in just a month.'' Ajax shook his head because he didn''t expect that and moreover, he didn''t even show much interest in cultivating. He only cultivated because he had nothing better to do and he didn''t want to waste ''One-month cultivation boost''. Also, the cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' was not very interesting for me because he could only bring out the true potential of that cultivator''sw when he was in the fire-rted environment or enemy. ''Let''s see whether there were any unknown changes to the cultivator''sw.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked the system about it. ''Ding, Cultivator''sw:- Fire devour. Effect:- The host can absorb the fire elements in a 100-meters radius around him to increase his battle prowess by at least three times his original battle prowess. Note:- If the fire energy around him was pure, the user''s battle prowess will be increased to 10 for 10 minutes. Skill rted tow:- Devour. Devour:- The user can devour others'' mes to increase the level of his me. The more powerful his mes are, the higher-level experts it could kill. ''Sigh...there is nothing new other than an increase in numbers.'' Ajax shook his head as he looked at the small me in his spirit consciousness which used to flicker continuously was burning vigorously now without showing any signs of disappearing. ''Even though I have a nameless fire which came with the cultivator''sw, it is very weak to kill even an elite general realm cultivator, not to mention killing the King realm experts.'' This was his impression of the nameless fire in his spirit consciousness. ''I hope I can find some fire to upgrade its grade.'' Ajax knew that his nameless fire is a grade 0 and he needed to find some other fires before letting his nameless fire devour them to increase its grade. Nevertheless, it was very rare to find them. So, Ajax didn''t bother much about it and left it to fate. ''Ding, The grey dwarf world''s protective barrier is back and it would even withstand a dozen attacks from the emperor realm cultivators. Finally, the system notification he was waiting for a while had appeared, making Ajax excited. Because he was waiting for this moment. So that he could go out of this world to do some adventures. "All elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, gather in front of the protector castle, right now." Without wasting any time, Ajax called all his summons as he was finally ready to do some invasion. During this one month, even though Ajax thought to send his elemental spirits to do the world invasions, he decided to let the elemental spirits cultivate for a while Because they were doing world invasions back to back and the elemental spirits needed to grasp what they had learned from the invasions. As for the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax already gave their own set of tasks like re-cultivating, evolving, increasing the bloodline and the most important thing was to control their bloodthirsty nature. "Also, I can enter the trading realm and go back to the cultivation grounds ofo the never-returning cave." Other than the world invasions, Ajax had other things and ns to do; however, he preferred the world invasions first before doing the other things. ''I need to wait until the dwarves send their monthly quota of weapons. So, the trading realm can wait.'' Even though he had nearly one million trading tokens, Ajax wanted to keep them for now and use themter to find some high-grade items. ''Even for the cultivation grounds, I need the heaven-grade weapons.'' After thinking, Ajax felt like doing world invasions. So that, while he couldplete other things, the devourer eagle kings'' skill will reset as he could use them again. Soon, Ajax walked out of the protector castle and waited for a while before all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts rushed towards him. ''Oh. Every re-cultivated sessfully.'' Looking at the humanoid beings and humans in front of him, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. Of course, the devourer eagle kings didn''t re-cultivate because of the less affinity with the re-cultivation technique. "Master, I am ck kitty." "Master, I am red kitty." Looking at Ajax, the spirit beasts that re-cultivated walked forward and introduced themselves one by one in their new humanoid forms. The two infernal beasts look just like humans except for their cat ears. One was male and the other one was female. The twin-tailed lightning cat also looked just like them; however, her body has more yellowish marks. However, what surprised Ajax was, all three catfolk had full body armour with different colours like Red, ck and Yellow. "ck yetis, you became muscr after recultivation. Is that stick your re-cultivation artifact?" Next, Ajax looked at a muscr man with a long stick with mysterious runes on it and asked. "Yes, master." The ck yetis were excited about it and while jumping from one ce to another, he nodded his head. "You three little ones also grew a lot." After that, Ajax looked at the three huge demonic spirit beasts and satisfyingly nodded his head. ''Roar'' ''Hiss'' ''Screech'' The three demonic spirit beasts were also equally excited as they let out the noises. "Damilius, you became a little short and thinner. Is this your new evolved form?" Ajax gave the beast evolution crystal to the sea tauren; however, there were not many changes to him, making Ajax frown as he checked the information about Damilius. ''Ding, Spirit beast:-Sea tauren king(Damilius) Strength:- Low-level King Bestial Soul:- King of Sea (level 1) Skill rted to Bestial soul:- Water realm, the spirit beast can pull his enemies into a special water realm where the spirit beast is invincible for 10 seconds. Skills:- Tsunami summoning, Water spirit beasts control.... Re-cultivated item:- Invincible trident. ''What?'' Looking at the information about Damilius, who evolved from Sea tauren to Sea tauren king, Ajax was shocked. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1181 - Destruction Orb Ajax was not expecting that the Sea Tauren would be a King realm spirit beast in such a short time. ''No wonder the Beast evolution crystal is very valuable.'' Ajax knew that the entire credit goes to the beast evolution crystal and revealed a slight smile at Damilius. "Congrattions, Damilius." Soon, he congratted the sea tauren who not only evolved into a Sea tauren king but even became a King realm spirit beast. "It''s all thanks to you, master." Even though Sea tauren was usually proud and nonchnt about everything, currently, he was very respectful to Ajax and gave the entire credit to him. ''With the sea tauren king, I currently have 12 king realm spirit beasts. Moreover, among these 12, one of them even broke through to mid-level king realm.'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at the row of devourer eagle kings before his eyesnded on Alder as he was the strongest summon under him. "Huh? The time for the portal creation for Alder has reduced once again." As usual, Ajax checked the changes in the devourer eagle king''s skills and found out that the skill''s cooldown was reduced from one month to 15 days. "Yes, master." Alder nodded his eagle head with great excitement in his eyes. "Good. So, in a single month, we can invade 12 worlds from your portals." Simrly, Ajax was also excited as he could not help but think of invasions; however, he still had some things to do before opening the portals to the other worlds. "Twilight, is that you?" Finally, Ajax''s eyesnded on a young boy of around 10 years of age, who was wearing a purple-coloured robe. "Yes, master." The small boy looked a little shy as he nodded his head. ''What the hell? If I can''t feel the dragon''s aura around him, I would have trouble believing his words.'' Ajax looked at the small boy with a shocked look; however, he tried his best to suppress the shock as he asked, "So, what is your re-cultivator''s artifact?" Since the divine dragon had re-cultivated, Ajax wanted to know what type of re-cultivated artifact he awakened. "I awakened this orb." Twilight showed a small hollow orb as he casually threw at Ajax before saying, "However, unlike other re-cultivated spirit beasts, I am unable to tell what is it and how I can use it?" ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned when he heard the small boy''s words because whenever a re-cultivated spirit beasts re-cultivates, they would naturally gain all the knowledge about their re-cultivated artifact. So, with a curious look on his face, Ajax used the system to check its information. ''Ding, Re-cultivated item name:- Destruction orb. Grade:- Legend Use:- Whenever the user of the orb destroys something, the orb will be filled with purple-coloured liquid. Once the orb ispletely filled with the liquid, the user (Dragon) will get a random benefit. Progress:- 0 / 100 Percent. ''Huh? Even though it has a legend grade, I can tell how powerful and useful this artifact is, only after I see the random benefits. Until then, I have to wait.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he looked at the hollow orb in his hands. "Master, did you find anything about it?" Seeing that expressionless look on Ajax''s face, Twilight asked him with a ''not much hope'' look on his face. "I did find out about it; however, I can''t tell how powerful it is until you fill this orb with some mysterious energy." Ajax came out of his thoughts and replied to the divine dragon. "Realy? How can I do it?" Twilight''s shyness disappeared as he asked Ajax about it. "It is your favourite. The more you destroy, the sooner the orb will be filled with some mysterious energy on its own." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face; however, he soon regretted saying his words because the divine dragon would not listen to him until he started the invasion missions. "Oh. I will be looking forward to it." The young boy nodded his head and remained silent. ''Huh? Why is he silent? Is it because of the re-cultivation process?'' However, Ajax was surprised when he saw how calm Twilight was and thought, ''Looks like the re-cultivation process made him lose his bestial nature.'' Even though Ajax was a little bit happy, at the same time, he was a little sad because he felt like he was missing the real twilight destructive dragon. Nevertheless, he checked everyone''s new skills and progress in their cultivation. ''Looks like my elemental spirits arecking behind whenpared to the spirit beasts.'' Initially, the elemental spirits dominated his contracted spirit beasts in both cultivation and skills; however, it didn''t take much longer for the contracted spirit beasts to overtake the elemental spirits. Compared to the contracted spirit beasts, his elemental spirits didn''t have much progress in their cultivation as most of his elemental spirits were stuck at peak elite general realm. Only their elementalws progressed by a single level during the past month. Moreover, there were many elemental spirits who were yet to awaken their elemental skills. "Hello, everyone." Once Ajax finished checking the improvement of all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, he flew into the sky and greeted his summons to get their attention. "I know most of you are unable to demonstrate or experience the true life and death situation during our past world invasions; however, I will not let that happen right now because those who will experience those situations, only they can progress further in their cultivation at an incredible speed." Soon, Ajax started his speech as all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were listening to him attentively. "So, what I am doing right now is, we will be invading 11 worlds at once." Saying until here, Ajax paused a bit to see the reactions of his summons. "What?" "Master, are you doing that for real?" "We are excited." "Finally, there will be something for me to prove my skills." "Yes. Every time, the stronger elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were taking all the limelight." Other than the few strongest contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, the rest of the summons were excited as they directly supported Ajax''s actions. The thing is, those with strong skills and high battle prowess were able to kill more enemies and increase their cultivation at a rapid pace, leaving the weaker elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts in their same cultivation realms. So, they were all excited with Ajax''s words. "Looks like everyone is liking this method." Ajax nodded his head as he asked with a serious look on his face, "However, this method might cost you your lives. So, you still wanna try it?" "..." Everyone remained silent for a moment before saying, "As long as we can be powerful, we will go to any extreme, master." "Huh?" Ajax was surprised with the worlds of all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts before saying, "Since you are not hesitating, I will also not hold you back anyone." Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the devourer eagle king, before ordering, "What are the smaller worlds around us?" ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1182 - Invading Multiples Worlds At Once Since Ajax could open more portals to the other worlds around the world he was living with the help of the devourer eagle kings, he wanted to check the smaller worlds before deciding which smaller worlds he had to send his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to conquer. So, he asked the devourer eagle king Alder to give him the names of the smaller worlds around the current grey dwarf world. "Okay, master." Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king closed his eyes for a minute before opening them and replied to Ajax. "Master looks like we are on the border that separates the smaller world and the normal worlds. Currently, I sense more than a dozen smaller worlds and five normal worlds." "Oh. So, let''s clear the smaller worlds as they will not be noticed by the emperor of this territory. Tell me the names of the smaller worlds." "Yes." Alder nodded his head as he continued saying, "There are six bronze demon worlds, three sand troll worlds, two obsidian demon worlds, one grey dwarf world and one smaller elven world." "Oh! Interesting!" Ajax was not surprised by the 100 smaller worlds; however, what surprised him was another grey dwarf world. ''Moreover, there was an elven world. I am waiting to see the most beautiful race for the beginning. Finally, it is time I guess.'' Compared to the grey dwarf world, Ajax was excited about the smaller elven world. "Master, but there is something wrong with the smaller elven world." As Ajax was nning how he had to conquer the grey dwarf world and the smaller elven world, he heard the devourer eagle king''s words that made him frown. "What is it?" Ajax asked as he didn''t want to miss the chance to see the elves with his own eyes. "Generally, when we devourer eagle kings check the surrounding worlds to open the portal, we are naturally attracted to the worlds with high vitality. ording to the ancestral memories I awakened, the smaller elven world should have more vitalitypared to the other smaller worlds." "Yes. I also heard about it." Ajax also nodded his head as he agreed with the devourer eagle king''s worlds. "However, I can''t feel any life or vitality from that smaller elven world. So, I think it is a dead world." Alder informed Ajax about his thoughts on the smaller elven world. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, when he thought about the territory he was currently in, he was no longer surprised. ''Sigh...maybe I am toote.'' Ajax shook his head and didn''t think much about it; however, there was another thought in his head, ''If he is unable to sense any life from the smaller elven world, then what about the world core? Was it taken by the demons?'' ''No. Without a world core, the smaller elven world should be destroyed. That means, there is still a world core in it.'' When he thought about it, Ajax started thinking about whether he should enter that world or not? ''Damn it...why am I thinking so much? I will just visit it to satisfy my curiosity; otherwise, I will just think about all the items.'' Soon, Ajax came to a conclusion and decided to enter that seemingly dead smaller elven world. "Let''s save your skill ''Portal creation'' skill forter to enter the grey dwarf world and the smaller elven world." Once he decided to visit the smaller elven world, Ajax didn''t waste much time before asking two devourer eagle kings to save their skills. Since he knew the grey dwarf world must be under the control of some demon kings, Ajax was nning to enter the grey dwarf world to be their protector. "As for the remaining devourer eagle kings, open your portals to the bronze demon worlds and sand trolls world." As he saved two ''portal creation'' skills forter, Ajax could only have nine avable portals. So, he asked the devourer eagle kings to open the portals to the six bronze demon worlds and the three sand trolls worlds. "Yes, master." All the devourer eagle kings nodded their heads as they opened the portals to the other smaller worlds. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the nine portals opened in front of Ajax as he looked at his summons. "Twilight and the devourer eagle king who opened the portal will enter one world." "Volcanis, you go with that devourer eagle king and conquer the second portal." "Damilius, enter the third portal with the creator of the portal." "Ignis, take five elemental spirits and clear the fourth portal." "You¡­." "..." Within no time, Ajax made the teams in a way that the stronger summons will enter the team with the one devourer eagle king, whereas others have to select five or more elemental spirits before entering the portal along with one devourer eagle king. "We will definitely conquer these worlds, master." All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads as they promised to conquer the worlds. "Everyone, try to conquer the world as soon as possible before informing me." Ajax nodded his head as he continued giving more orders, "The devourer eagle kings will not act unless there is a need for them to act." Since he wanted all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirits to push their limits, Ajax ordered the devourer eagle kings to not attack the inhabitants of these worlds. "Yes, master." Even though the devourer eagle kings wanted to test their new skills and the increased battle prowess, they didn''t say anything as they could guess what Ajax was trying to do. ''There will be a lot of opportunities in the future.'' This was the thought in their heads while nodding their heads. "Everyone, enter the worlds and conquer them." Finally, Ajax gave the orders to his summons to enter the portals. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, one by one entered the portal and without wasting any time, the inhabitants of those worlds started attacking them. "Cale, let''s go to the dead elven world." ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1183 - Royal Attendant From Ylercester Province "Cale, let''s go to the dead elven world." After seeing all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to the nine different worlds to conquer, Ajax was left with two devourer eagle kings, Alder and Cale. So, he asked one of the devourer eagle kings to open the portal to that dead elven world. Initially, Ajax wanted to go along with his summons on their conquering missions; however, a grey dwarf world and the dead elven world intrigued his attention. So, Ajax changed his ns. "Yes, master." Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king opened the portal to the dead elven world without any dy. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a huge portal opened in front of Ajax as he entered along with the two devourer eagle kings. ''After checking the elven world, I should help the grey dwarf world to save it from the demons.'' Even though Ajax didn''t even enter the grey dwarf world, he could guess the current situation of the grey dwarves world as he saved one grey dwarf world earlier before. ''I wonder whether I can be the protector for two grey dwarf worlds or not?'' Ajax had another thought in his head. ...¡­ ''Swoosh'' In a world where there were no trees or even a single speck of grass could not be found, a portal opened as Ajax and the two devourer eagle kings walked out. ''Th...this is¡­.'' ording to the imagination in his head about the Elven world, the current state of the Elven waspletely opposite. Even if it was a smaller elven world, it should still be filled with a lot of green trees but what he was seeing around him was nothing but barrennd. ''I wonder why this world degraded into this.'' Ajax was wondering what made this world from lively to a dead one. Moreover, he didn''t have a clue where he should start his investigation. ''Let''s see whether I can enter the core realm of this world.'' It was a known fact that any world without a world core would be destroyed into nothingness, Ajax knew there would still be a world core inside the dead-looking elven world. So, he tried to enter the core realm of the world where a world core is situated. ''Swoosh'' After Ajax closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, his spirit consciousness form had sessfully entered the core realm. ''Th..this is¡­.'' However, the moment he entered the core realm, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen. .... In the main hall of the royal pce, Zrochester province. "Huh? They are preponing the contest by a year?" Stephen draton was looking at the scrolling in his hands and raised his brows. "Yes, your majesty." In front of King Stephen, there was a fine-looking young man in majestic attire that looked as good as the attire worn by King Stephen. Even though that young man used the word ''Majesty'' to call King Stephen, in his eyes, Stephen was just a king of a lowly province and nothing more. ''If not for his highness'' liking this fool''s daughter to be his daughter inw, I would have not bothered toe to this lowly province.'' The young man scoffed at Stephen. Moreover, he didn''t bother to hide it, making Stephen rage inside his heart. ''I need to control this rage.'' ''I need to control this rage.'' Nevertheless, King Stephen tried his best to suppress his anger as he stored the scroll in his hands before standing up from his throne. "So, how many youngsters are allowed from my Province?" Without wasting any time, King Stephen directly came to the point as he asked about the young man. "This time there is no limit to the number of participants from the provinces. So, you can send as many youngsters as you want from your Zrochester province to represent this province." "What?" King Stephen was shocked when he heard the royal attendant from the Ylercester province. "Yes. The Emperor of this purple stone world is going to open the barriers between the provinces for exactly a minute for the youngsters to enter the Ylercester province." There was a slight smile on the royal attendant''s face as he continued, "Moreover, he will be personally visiting the final round of the contest along with the Protectors of the Province." "What?" Within a matter of seconds, King Stephen had received the biggest shocks in his life. First, the barriers separating the three provinces of the Purple stone world would be opening. Even though it was only for a minute, it has never happened for the past few centuries. And the second one was, that the emperor of the Purples stone world is still alive and he will be visiting the Ylercester province to see the final round of the contest held in the Ylercester province. ''Didn''t he die a few months back?'' No matter how hard he tried to suppress his shock, King Stephen was unable to hide his shocked face in front of the royal attendant. Nevertheless, the royal attendant just stayed silent and let King Stephen think what he was thinking. ''If he is still alive, how the hell will I be the emperor? Master...master. Where are you?'' Soon, his shock turned into anxiousness as he called for his master in his head. ''What are you shouting in such early hours? Do you want me to recover my strength or not?'' The master in his head cursed King Stephen for waking him up from his slumber. ''The royal attendant of the Flerton kingdom is saying that the ''Emperor'' of this Purple stone world is still alive. So, you are lying to me all this time, right?'' Currently, King Stephen was very angry as he shouted back at his master for the first time from the time he became his student. ''What? It''s impossible.'' Just like how King Stephen was shocked when he heard that the emperor was alive, the voice in King Stephen was also equally shocked. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1184 - One Emperor And Five Lords "Your majesty, are you alright?" Looking at King Stephen who spaced out for some time, the royal attendant asked King Stephen. "Y..yes. I am alright." King Stephen came out of his thoughts before nodding his head and asked, "What about the winners? will your royal family going to increase the rewards for this contest?" Even though King Stephen had so many questions he needed to ask his master, he controlled his anxiousness as he asked the remaining questions he wanted to ask the royal attendant. "Of course. The rewards are very generous this time." The royal attendant revealed a mysterious smile on his face before saying, "By the way, His highness asked me to give you a tip." ''Huh? What is it?'' King Stephen knew that his daughter was going to be the concubine of the Flerton kingdom. So, of course, he was happy about the special treatment he was getting from the Ylercester''s royal family. "This time, the contest will be special and it is designed in a way that it was favourable to the youngsters who became official summoners. So, His Highness asked me to inform you that, try to send more summoners from your province. Even if one of them enters the top 100, you and your family will get good rewards." Even though the royal attendant had a polite smile on his face, he was scoffing in his heart, ''No matter how many special tips and tricks you get, no one will be entering into the top 100 from your province.'' How could a lowly province where there was no pure essence of nature and thews werepletely messed up, produce a good summoner? ''At most, there would be a dozen or so young summoners in this backward province and they would be naturally not strong against the geniuses of the other provinces.'' The royal attendant was very sure about it and looking at King Stephen, he said, "Okay then, your highness, if you have nothing to ask, I will be taking my leave now." "Okay." King Stephen was waiting for the royal attendant to say those words and the moment he heard it, he nodded his head with a forced smile. "One more thing, His highness also ordered you to bring Princess Daphne along with you. He said he would be announcing the marriage between Prince Clen and Princess Daphne prior to the contest." Just as the royal attendant was about to leave, he stopped in his steps as he said hisst words before disappearing from his ce. ''I am waiting for it too.'' King Stephen was looking forward to that event; however, the emperor of this world staying alive was a shock and he started to think that his master was hiding things from him. "Master,e out right now. I want you to exin some things." After the royal attendant left, King Stephen silently left to his cultivation chambers and angrily shouted at his so-called master in his head, asking him toe out. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the golden-coloured mist came out of nowhere and transformed into an old man, who was wearing simple-yet majestic looking robes. "I want to know exactly what happened a few years ago when you said you are going to the Xacaster province?" Seeing his master materialize in front of him, King Stephen asked the old man. "Fine. I will tell you." The old man shook his head and soon started saying some things that even shocked King Stephen. "What? The ''Emperor'' is such a powerful person?" After hearing the entire story, King Stephen was shocked and asked the old man. "Just like how I got the title ''Lord of the Water'', the rest of the five lords have their own titles. Among the five lords under the Emperor, including me, the four lords ambushed him, thinking we could kill him; however, we underestimated him a lot as nearly got killed. In the end, we four lords had to sacrifice ourselves to kill the Emperor while injuring the fifth lord who is a loyal servant to the emperor." "So, now tell me, if he is still alive, then, how powerful he was?" The old man had a bitter smile on his face as he asked King Stephen. Initially, the old man thought that the real emperor was killed and the fifth lord was equally injured just like them. So, he thought he could use King Stephen to recover his body before going back. But now, since the emperor is alive, the chances of King Stephen bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world is zero. "Master, is there nothing we can do about it?" King Stephen frowned as he anxiously asked the old man because he was dreaming about bing the Emperor of the world. The thing is King Stephen was just 35 years old and in this lowly province where the essence of nature was impure, he still managed to reach his current cultivation. So, he assumed that as long as he left this province, his cultivation would progress even faster and reaching the King realm in a couple of years was still possible. So, he could not give up his dream now. "Actually, there is a way." The old man looked at King Stephen for a moment before saying, "If you can be the disciple of the other three lords, your chances of bing powerful enough to go against the emperor might be possible." "Huh? But, didn''t you say that they were all dead?" King Stephen asked with a confused look on his face. "Haha...do you think we, the lords of the world, will die that easily? We just lost our bodies and have our spirit consciousness still intact." The old man was satisfied with the greediness of King Stephen because he knew that bing the disciple of the four lords is the hardest thing for Stephen Draton; however, as long as he gained the recognition of the other three lords and be their disciples, killing the Emperor is not a hard thing for him. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1185 - Elf Fairy "But remember one thing, if the emperor finds out about your association with the lords that betrayed him, then you will never see the day to be a King realm expert much less an Emperor realm expert." Seeing the thinking King Stephen, the old man continued to warn, "Also, there is the fifth lord that is loyal to the emperor, his spirit consciousness must have escaped to some province. So, it is better for you to start acting as soon as possible." "Master, I am ready whenever you are ready. So, where are the other lords staying?" King Stephen saw some hope as he asked the old man. "ording to thetest information I got, two lords were staying in Xacaster province hiding in their own organizations whereas the third one was staying in Ylercester province." The old man replied about the lords that betrayed the Emperor a few years ago. "Oh, Ylercester province? Excellent. Since we got the invitation from the Flerton kingdom, why don''t we go one month before the start of the contest?" "Good idea. Go and prepare yourself and Prince Daphne. Among the three lords, bing the disciple of the Master of the Undead is very easy. So, let''s start with him." After knowing that the emperor of the Purple stone World was alive, the old man was also getting anxious. So, just like King Stephen, he also wanted to finish things as soon as possible. "Master of the Undead?" King Stephen nodded his head before going to Princess Daphne''s room to inform her about their departure. Before that, he didn''t forget to order Commander Reid to spread the news about the contest in the Ylercester province and the exact time when the barriers between the provinces would be lifted. ''Huh? Where is she?'' When King Stephen entered Princess Daphne''s room, he saw Princess Daphne was not in her room, making him frown. ''Where did she go?'' King Stephen frowned as he closed his eyes to search for Princess Daphne with his spirit consciousness. ''Huh?'' Soon, King Stephen clenched his fists as he saw the image of Princess Daphne flying on a peak rank 6 flying type spirit beast with an old man. ''Damn you, Old Lin. Why are you doing this at a time like this?'' King Stephen cursed the owner of the spirit beast and without wasting any time, he shouted, "Where the hell everyone disappeared?" As soon as he shouted, the entire hallway was filled with hundreds of masked men. "Bring Princess Daphne back as soon as possible." He directly ordered the royal shadows. "Yes, your majesty." All the royal shadows that appeared in the hallway nodded their heads before disappearing into the shadows. ''I think it will take some time for the royal shadows to bring her back. So, why don''t we use the King realm cultivator stones?'' The old man suggested something and King Stephen felt he could do that until Princess Daphne was brought back. ... In the dead elven world. ''Th..this is¡­.'' Looking at the bright green-coloured world core in the core realm of the dead eleven world, Ajax could not help but be surprised with it. ''Why does this core realm have such a pure nt essence?'' Just by staying in the core realm for a while, Ajax could feel his spirit consciousness was full of vitality. ''Should I just take the world core and leave this world?'' Since he didn''t know what else he could do with the world core, Ajax thought about the only thing he could do. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was nning to take out the world core before leaving the core realm, a small figure materialized in front of him. "Human, can you please not take the world core?" The figure looked like a flying elf; however, she was very small, around 10 centimeters or so. She had a sad look on her face as she asked Ajax. ''Huh? An elf fairy?'' With a nce, Ajax could say it was a fairy and since she had the facial features of an elf, he concluded it as an elf fairy. "Yes, human. If you don''t take the world core, I will bless you with something." The elf fairy knew that the humans were as evil as demons; however, she was powerless in front of Ajax. So, other than making a deal with the humans, she didn''t think of any other ideas to save the world core. ''Ding, A new quest has been generated in the quest tab. Please check it. Just as Ajax was about to ask about what type of blessing the little elf fairy would give him in leaving the world core alone, he received a system notification. ''New mission? Don''t tell me I have to take care of this elven world also?'' Without even checking the mission details, Ajax was able to guess what kind of mission it was. Nevertheless, he still checked it to see whether the reward for the mission would be good or not. ''Ding, Mission:- Help the dead elven world be a normal world as soon as possible. Reward:- 100 elf followers. Note:- If it is upgraded in less than a day, the reward will be 10 times. ''What?'' Even though the mission was simr to what he guessed. To be honest, it was much bigger than he thought. However, what surprised him was the reward and what shocked him was the note. ''I was waiting to see the true elves for a long time; however, not only will I see them but they will be my followers. Looks like I need toplete the mission within a single day.'' Soon, Ajax swore to try his best in upgrading the dead elven world to reach the normal world. ''Not only the elf followers, but I will also own this elf world.'' Ajax was excited just from thinking about owning an elf world and looking at the elf fairy, he asked, ''What will you do if I help you in upgrading the world core from smaller grade to normal grade?'' ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1186 - Deal With The Elf Fairy Since the elf fairy was ready to bless him with something in order for him to not take the world core, Ajax thought he might as well make a deal with her to get more rewards from her. ''Not only I can get the rewards from the system for upgrading the dead looking smaller elf world, but I will also get additional rewards from the elf fairy. That''s killing two birds with a single stone.'' Ajax was confident that the elf fairy would definitely agree to his deal. So, he was feeling excited in his head about it. ''...'' However, the elf fairy didn''t agree to his deal as she looked at him suspiciously. ''What the hell? Why is she not agreeing to my deal?'' After waiting for a couple of minutes, Ajax could not wait anymore as he asked one more time, "Just say it. If you give me something good, I will help you upgrade this dead-looking smaller elf world to a normal world." "If you don''t want, I don''t even want your blessing, I will just leave the core realm. I wonder how long you will keep that world core which is losing its energy." Moreover, at the end of his words, Ajax scoffed at the elf fairy and didn''t show that he was very eager to help her. The thing is, without a single living being in the world, the world core will not get any energy. The more inhabitants it had and higher their cultivation was, the more energy it would gather and use it to slowly upgrade its grade. However, when there were very powerful inhabitants like emperor realm cultivators or even high-level king realm cultivators, a smaller world core will not take it for much longer before it explodes. Back when Ajax trapped a lot of high-level demon kings, it was a different scenario, as Ajax was the protector, the world core was circting the excess energy through Ajax. ''Let''s see what you will do now?'' Once he finished his words, Ajax was no longer in a hurry as he noticed the anxiousness in the elf fairy'' face. ''How is this human? How can he enter the core realm? What''s more, he is saying that he would help me in upgrading this abandoned elf world to normal grade.'' ''Should I trust him? But, humans are unpredictable.'' As for the elf fairy, many thoughts were going through her head as she was in a conflict whether she should believe the young human in front of her or not? ''I think I can take my chances. In my current state, I am barely maintaining this dead world and all my life energy is nearly empty. Even if the human fool me, I will just die a little earlier.'' After thinking for a while, the little fairy finally decided to trust Ajax, before saying, "If you can do what you promised, I will officially consider you as my master. Moreover, if this world bes a normal grade world, it would "produce many valuable fruits that even King realm experts could drool over. So, you can harvest them as much as you want. The little fairy that Ajax would not think much about bing his servant. So, she said that the most beneficial thing that Ajax would get was if he could really upgrade the dead elf world to the normal world. "Oh! That''s good." The little fairy gave him what he wanted and it was not the fruits; instead, the little fairy herself. An elf fairy is just like a protector of the grey dwarf world; however, she would not have any battle prowess; instead, she will have the power to nurture the nts and trees. Overall, as long as he could be the master of the elf fairy, he could literally own the world she was born in. ''Finally, I will be having two grey dwarf worlds and an elf world.'' Ajax revealed a bright smile on his face when he thought about the worlds he would be having under him. Even though he had yet to gain the second grey dwarf world, Ajax didn''t think much because he was confident in getting his hands on that world sooner orter. "By the way, before the work on upgrading this dead world, what actually happened to it? Where are the inhabitants?" Ajax already had a n on how to upgrade this dead smaller elf world into a normal elf world; however, it will take some more time. So, he decided to ask what made the smaller elf be like a barren world. "..." When she heard Ajax''s questions, the little fairy could not help but remain silent for a moment before saying, "It is the Golden demon kings and the Silver demon kings." ''Oh'' Ajax was not surprised by the reply because it is the territory that was under the control of the Golden demon emperor. "They entered this world with full force as they broke the barrier of the world before capturing all my people. Once they finished with the capturing, they also took all the valuable fruits, ingredients and minerals in this world before using some artifact to turn this world like this." The little fairy was angry and sad at the same time as she exined the things that she stored in her heart. It''s been lonely in this core realm and just trying her best to stabilize the world core, hoping that one day, a miracle will happen. ''Sigh.'' Ajax knew the pain of remaining alone while his friends were killed or kidnapped as he went through something simr to that. So, he could not help but sigh. "Don''t worry. You have a great master now who will not only help you upgrade this world but I will even take revenge on the Golden demon emperor on your behalf." "You are yet to fulfil the promise before I officially acknowledge you as my master." However, the little fairy words make Ajax nearly fall to the ground, ''Sigh...I am trying to give you some hope but you can''t trust me. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. '' Chapter 1187 - Feeding The World Core Elves are one of the most beautiful races in the universe and have a high demand. They were mostly used as ves by many races. So, whenever an elf, whether it was a male or a female, it didn''t matter before they were captured to sell to the highest bidder. That''s the reason why the Golden demon kings and the Silvere demon kings captured all the elves and didn''t kill a single one of them. "Since you are not trusting me, I will not give promises to you; instead, I will just show what I am capable of." Ajax didn''t bother the elf fairy asking any more questions as he said, "Let''s go out." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax disappeared from the core realm and behind him, the elf fairy followed. "Master, did you get the world core?" Seeing that Ajax opened his eyes, Alder and Cale asked with a curious look in their eyes. "Not but I got a good deal with her." Ajax shook his head while pointed at the little elf fairy that appeared in front of Ajax. "Anyway, just stay here with my beastpanions, I wille with the necessary items for upgrading the world core." Without wasting any time, Ajax came back to the grey dwarf world. ''Hmm¡­.who conquered the world in such a short time?'' Ajax checked the nine portals around him and found out one of the worlds had been conquered already. "It is twilight. Looks like the re-cultivation for the divine dragon was a good thing." Ajax already expected the divine dragon to be powerful; however, he didn''t think that a re-cultivated divine dragon could finish the task in such a short time. ''Anyway, there is not much time left for me. I will just pick the world core.'' Since the mission stated that if he could upgrade the smaller elf world into a normal elf world within 24 hours, Ajax didn''t want to waste any time in collecting the world core. ''Looks like I will be dying my cultivation by another one month.'' With ten smaller world cores, Ajax could increase his cultivation by a single minor realm; however, with the same number of world cores, he could upgrade a smaller world into a normal world. Moreover, he would get a reward from the system and the contract with the elf fairy, Ajax preferred to give the smaller world cores to the smaller elf world core; instead of using them for his cultivation. Even though he used the world upgrade seed for the grey dwarf world before using the world cores to fasten the upgrade, the smaller elf world was different as it gave birth to a world soul like a little fairy which means it was closer to normal grade in a natural way unlike the grey dwarf world. "You are much more powerful than before, twilight." Ajax praised the divine dragon which returned to his re-cultivated form before entering the core realm. ''Ding, The host collected a world core. After collecting the world cores so many times, Ajax became experienced and it didn''t take much time for him to collect the world cores from the core realm. ''Let''s go, twilight.'' After collecting the world core, Ajax left the world with the divine dragon and the devourer eagle king. .... Time continued to pass and soon, one after another world was quickly conquered by Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. Within just a couple of hours, Ajax collected all nine world cores and he was stillcking one world core. ''Previosly, I had to use a world upgrade seed alonog with 10 world cores but now I only have nine world cores. I hope it will be enough to upgrade the smaller elf world to the normal grade.'' Ajax was betting that upgrade will happen within nine world cores because of the elf fairy. ''If the word core still needs another one to reach the normal world, then either I have to postpone saving the grey dwarf world or enter the undead bronze demon world to save the elemental world connected to it.'' Currently, Ajax had two choices in front of him if he was unable to upgrade the world core to the normal grade. ''Oh. There is also a trading realm butst time I didn''t see any world cores. Maybe they are very rare.'' Ajax thought about another option; however, he was not sure about it. ''For now, l will hope it is enough.'' Soon, he stopped thinking about the options and directly went back to the small elf world before asking his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to rest. ''Swoosh'' "Human, you are back. I thought you were scared toe back." The moment the little elf fairy saw Ajax, she scoffed at him; however, deep down, she muttered, ''I hope he can help me in upgrading the world core to normal grade.'' "Haha...do you think I am such a person?" Ajaxughed out loud as he praised himself, "If I promise something, I will definitelyplete it no matter what." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax sent his spirit consciousness into the core realm to finish the mission as soon as possible. The reason he didn''t want to waste any time was because if the upgrade was notpleted, then he would have enough time to do something about it. ''However, if it is finished, I can go to the grey dwarf world and save it from the demons.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax floated towards the green-coloured world core. "Eat now" Without any hesitation, Ajax threw three world cores as he knew that the world cores are just bottomless abyss that could eat any number of world cores one throws at it. ''''Only three seconds and it devoured them already. Shaking his head, Ajax directly threw all six world cores in his hands to it. ''What the hell? Where did he get so many world cores?'' As for the little elf fairy who was watching, Ajax was shocked to the core with Ajax''s actions. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. '' Chapter 1188 - 1000 Elf Followers Actually, not everyone could enter the core realm of a world. Be it a smaller world or a greater world, the world would try its best to reject the outsiders. Only a few cultivators could enter the core realm. Moreover, even among those few, only the gift cultivators could pick the world core. Even if such a gifted cultivator picked a world core, his spirit consciousness would be sucked dry and his spirit consciousness form would be very weak. However, the young human in front of her casually gave nine world cores without any hesitation. ''Who is he?'' ''Is he a descendent of a great emperor from the greater world?'' ''Who cares about his origins, but he gave such valuable items to the world core. Looks like I will be eternally in his debt for his help.'' After seeing Ajax give the nine smaller world cores, the elf fairy believed that Ajax would not go back on his words and would definitely help her in upgrading the world core. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the small green-coloured world core hovering in front of Ajax started shining with a bright light. ''Th..this is¡­.'' "The world core is upgrading." As the little fairy was shocked by the scene in front of her, Ajax said to her with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, The smaller elf world''s elf fairy is acknowledging you as her master. As Ajax was waiting for the world core to upgrade into normal grade, the little elf fairy bowed to Ajax''s spirit consciousness form and soon, a bond formed between Ajax and the little fairy elf. ''Good.'' Ajax was expecting this to happen sooner orter because the little elf fairy was born from the world core. Since Ajax was helping the world core to upgrade to the normal grade, there was nothing wrong for her to acknowledge Ajax as her master. ''Phew...once the upgrade is finished, I will go to the grey dwarf world to save it from the demons.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief because he didn''t want to dy his n to save the grey dwarf world for another fifteen days as he didn''t know how many grey dwarves would die during these 15 days. Time continued to pass and in a sh, two hours passed by. After two hours, the glowing green-coloured world core stopped glowing and the changes became apparent to it. It was double its earlier size and the light green colour on the world core turned to dark green. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading the smaller elf world core into normal grade. ''Ding, The host has sessfully finished the mission within 24 hours. So, the original rewards will be multiplied by 10. ''Ding, The 1000 elf followers were waiting for the host outside the core realm. ''Woah'' Finally, Ajax was excited when he saw the system notifications and hurriedly exited the core realm to see one of the most beautiful races in the universe. "Thanks for waking us from our deep slumber, master." As soon as Ajax left the core realm, he saw 1000 elves kneeling on one knee as they thanked Ajax. ''Huh? I woke them up?'' Ajax was surprised by their words; however, he decided to ask the system about itter as he walked closer to the elves and observed them from a close distance. There were more men and women in equal ratios among the 1000 elves and Ajax was not indecent while observing the female elves. Fair skin, pointy ears, average height, clothes made up of special trees and leaves. All of these elves had longbows and arrows and had a respectful look on their faces when they looked at Ajax. ''Also, when did that barrennd turn into this?'' Until now Ajax''s focus was on the 1000 elves; however, when his eyesnded on the trees and green grass around him, Ajax was quite surprised. "Master, don''t get surprised. It is just the beginning. Within 100 years, I will make it the most powerful normal elf world." All of a sudden, an elf fairy appeared beside Ajax and excitedly said to Ajax. "I know you could do that." As a being from the world core, Ajax knew the little elf fairy could achieve that; however, he was worried about something. "So, are there any formations with you to protect this world from the demons?" Ajax could only kill the high-level demon kings with the help of the protector title and it was also inside the grey dwarf world. So, he asked the elf fairy about it. "N...no." The little elf fairy shook her head with an embarrassed look on her face. ''No wonder, this world was easily invaded by the demons.'' Ajax shook his head as he looked at the 1000 elves; however, they only have the cultivation of the level 10 elite general realm without a cultivator''sw. ''Mostly, only low-level demon kings and mid-level demon kings would scout in this part of the region unless something big happened. So, I think I can do it.'' Currently, the newly upgraded normal elf world was in a region where only smaller worlds were present. So, the high-level demon kings would not bother about it. After thinking for a while, Ajax thought of something and muttered, ''Even though this method will not help if high-level demon kings try to invade this world, it is better than nothing.'' Soon, Ajax didn''t waste any time and asked the system, ''System, I want to connect this world with the grey dwarf world with a teleportation portal.'' ording to the title ''Protector'', Ajax had some good benefits and among them, establishing an instant teleportation portal was one. ''Ding, Choose a ce to establish the teleportation circle. Please note that, once the teleportation circle is established, it can''t be moved. "Hm¡­.Fairy, where should I? establish a teleportation circle?" Since he was still new to the elf world, Ajax decided to take the help of the little fairy. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1189 - Teleportation Circle ''Ding, The teleportation circle has been sessfully installed. Anyone with the approval of the protector can use the teleportation circle to enter the host''s grey dwarf world. ording to the ce suggested by the little elf fairy, Ajax sessfully installed the teleportation circle between the two normal grade worlds, Elf world and the Grey dwarf world. "Fairy, I will be giving partial control of this teleportation circle. If you have any need, you can send someone to the grey dwarf world to ask for help." Since Ajax knew he didn''t have enough time to always stay in the elf world, he said those words to the elf fairy. Currently, there are 11 low-level king realm spirit beasts and a mid-level king realm spirit beast in the grey dwarf world. So, Ajax was hoping that they could protect the normal elf world for a few years or even decades. In the end, it always depends on luck because if no high-level demon kings enter this section of the region, it would not be a problem for the world to stabilize and improve at a good pace. "Yes, master." After seeing how Ajax was about to do things that only a few powerful cultivators of the Emperor realm could not do, the little elf fairy became even more respectful. "Also, I want you to properly develop this world and at the same time, properly nurture my 1000 elf followers. As long as one of them bes a King realm cultivator, it would be best." Looking at the 1000 elf followers in the distance, Ajax ordered the little elf fairy. Earlier, Ajax asked about where did the system got these 1000 elves and the reply he got from the system was, ''Ding, These 1000 elves were the guardians of this elf world. However, before they could fight, the leader of the world ordered them to lie dormant until a chosen one appeared. ''Ding, Since the host was able to upgrade the world core, they got the sufficient energy they needed to wake up from their sleep. ''ording to them, I am their chosen one. No wonder, they were so respectful to me.'' Ajax shook his head as he always felt these prophecies or just the stories of the ancestors to make the young generation never give up. ''Anyway, since the world is upgraded to the normal world, it will not take much time for them to be King realm cultivation. However, I need to buy those three fruits to stabilize this newly upgraded normal world in just 10 years.'' Soon, Ajax thought about the three fruits ''Essence gathering fruit'', ''Talent blessing fruit'' and ''Law clearing fruit'' which he bought in the trading realm for the grey dwarf world and decided to buy another set of those fruits. ''Even though there are only 1000 elves in this world, I can develop this world as I might find more elves in the future.'' The thing is, all the elves from this world were not killed; instead, they were turned into ves. So, once Ajax had enough strength to go against the demon emperors, he would try to save those elves. By that time, isn''t it better to have a stabilized elf world? Ajax noted down the three fruits in his head before saying, "Okay then. I will go now and visit whenever I have time." After finishing his words, Ajax used the teleportation circle to return to the grey dwarf world. "Swoosh" Soon, Ajax disappeared from the normal elf world leaving behind a little elf fair and 1000 elf guardians. ''Finally, I got a chance and this time I should not allow the demons to destroy my world.'' After Ajax left, the little elf fairy swore to herself and soon, she started nning about the development of the world. ... Back in the grey dwarf world. A portal opened one kilometer away from the protector castle and soon, Ajax walked out of it. Ajax chose the other end of the teleportation circle to be just outside the protector castle as it would be convenient for him and his summons to move between the worlds if any need arises. "Everyone, get ready. We will be protecting the second grey dwarf world from the clutches of the demons." Ajax didn''t waste any time, as he directly ordered his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to get ready before looking at Cale, "Open the portal to the grey dwarf world." Actually, these grey dwarf worlds were rare to find separately. Mostly, all the grey dwarf worlds would be in a cluster while the greater dwarf worlds taking care of the smaller grey dwarf worlds. However, the smaller grey dwarf worlds like the one Ajax already helped and the other one which he was going to help need to find a suitable protector to protect them from the outsiders. In most cases, these individual dwarf worlds would notst for much longer as they would be destroyed in a couple of centuries due to the over-exploitation of the protector or the powerful invaders. So, Ajax wanted to save it and take it under his control as it would be beneficial for him and at the same time, he could help that world to upgrade its grade. ''Swoosh'' Nodding his head, Cale opened the portal to the grey dwarf world within no time. "Tunmil and Lurmer, you two will be following me to that grey dwarf world as it will be easier to convince them with your help." Along with his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, Ajax was bringing two grey dwarves along with him. "Yes, master." "Yes, protector." Tunmil and Lurmere respectfully nodded their heads in agreement. "Everyone, let''s go. As soon as you see a demon, there is no need to waste your time talking with it; instead, you just have to kill it." Soon, Ajax finished his orders and entered the portal along with all his summons and two grey dwarves. ***** New Monthly Target For every 100 Golden tickets, a bonus chapter will be released. Chapter 1190 - Conquering The Second Grey Dwarf World "Everyone, kill all the demons." Ajax gave his orders to his summons while he and his dwarf followers moved towards the nearest town. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." All the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits nodded their heads and moved in different directions to start the massacre. ... In the Zrochester province. "Damn it...that old bastard Lin took her away right in front of my eyes." King Stephen was angry when the royal shadows came with empty hands and as he cursed the old man Lin. "Search the entire province. I don''t care what you will do or how many you kill, bring her back and then send her to the Ylercester province. I am leaving that province now." Since King Stephen knew that it would take much longer than he expected to bring Princess Daphne back, he decided to just leave as he had many things to do in the Ylercester province. So, he gave that mission to the head royal shadow and before leaving the Zrochester province, he made enough preparations like giving the full authority to the old minister and others who he trusted. Without wasting any more time, King Stephen activated the teleportation circle to the Ylercester province and left the Zrochester province. ... At the same time, the entire Zrochester province was talking about thepetition of the young geniuses that was going to be held in the Ylercester province. Many families were preparing their genius youngsters. Even if they can''t win, they thought their young ones would gain the experience as it was always an important factor to progress in the cultivation. All their sects and families were also doing the same. Even though some of them have lost their top genius in the champions contest and in other unfortunate situations, they still have to send someone as it would be a good opportunity to prove themselves. ... In the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. "Listen, kids, you can finally meet Ajax." "There will be a contest soon in the Ylercester province where all geniuses from the entire world wille. Your friend, Ajax will also join the contest. I want you to defeat him. Can you do it?" Elder Boron transmitted his voice to three young men, Damon, Jason and Hector while asking them to defeat Ajax. ''What?'' Jason and Hector were surprised as they stopped cultivating; however, Damon, who was cultivating inside an earth prison didn''t react much as he casually nodded his head. Unlike Jason and Hector, Damon had to save his love from the other world and for that, he needed to increase his cultivator''sw to level 5. Currently, he is at the peak level 3 of his cultivator''sw and he only has one more month to reach level 5 cultivator''sw. So, he waspletely focused on cultivating. "Elder Boron, who could Ajax win against us? You are training us for the entire time whereas Ajax was on his own. Isn''t it unfair for him?" "Yes, Elder Boron. Are you sure Brother Ajax will be joining the fight?" Hector and Jason, came out of the wooden house and replied to Elder Boron. Even though they have seen Ajax win the champion''s contest, they felt that they were improving much faster and didn''t think Ajax made much progress in the cultivator''sw as it was very hard for anyone in the Zrochester province to cultivate the cultivator''sw. "Haha" Hearing their words, Elder Boron could not help but reveal a loudugh as he said, "So, why don''t we make a deal? If you defeat him, I will let you go anywhere you want for one month; however, if you lose, I will make you train double than what you were currently doing. What will you say?" "Huh?" Hearing that bet from Elder Boron, both Jason and Hector shuddered and without any hesitation, they replied, "Not interested, Elder Boron." "Haha...you are being too careful." Elder Boronughed and said, "There is only one month''s time, go and increase your cultivator''sw as high as possible because there were some monstrous geniuses who had level 7 to level 10 cultivator''sw. In front of them, you can''t stand a chance." "We will definitely make you proud with our fights, Elder Boron." After finding out more about the contest, Jason and Hector went back to cultivate. For the entire time, they didn''t ask about Damon as they already knew what Damon was going through and if there were anything important, Elder Boron would definitely let them know. ''I hope this will put enough pressure on them. As long as they have level 5 or level 6 cultivator''sw, it will definitely make them enter the top 100 rankings''. Elder Boron silently muttered to himself and looked at the distant underground prison in which Damon was cultivating and thought, ''He will definitely not participate in the contest; instead, he will urge me to open the portal to that world to save his lover.'' ''Sigh...these young men. Why are these love stories alwaysplex andplicated? If he went back to that world before bing the King realm cultivator, he would definitely die a gruesome death. But if I involve too much with the other worlds, it would make thingsplicated for me.'' Elder Boron could not shake his head thinking about the future. ''At least that kid Ajax was good. Unlike his father, he didn''t make his alreadyplicated life even moreplicated with Love.'' Soon, Elder Boron entered into a deep meditation in the same ce and who knows what he was thinking in his old head. ¡­.. In the smaller grey dwarf world. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully conquering the smaller grey dwarf world. ''Ding, Do you want to be the protector of the world or do you want to merge this world with the host''s normal grade grey dwarf world? After a couple of hours, Ajax was in his third town visitation as he got the system notifications in his head. Chapter 1191 - World Merger ''Huh?'' Looking at the system notifications in front of him, Ajax was a little surprised as he didn''t expect his summons to be so fast in killing all the demons from this smaller grey dwarf world. There was another thing that surprised me and it was that the system was giving him an option to merge this world with his first grey dwarf world. ''System, isn''t it better to have separate worlds and get the benefits of this world''s protector?'' However, Ajax felt it was better to have two separate worlds as he could get the additional benefits like instantlying back to the world. Also, he could create teleportation circles once in a while. Nevertheless, he wanted to know whether there were any benefits of merging the worlds. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host can''t be the protector of the second grey dwarf world; instead, this world will be a subsidiary world of your first normal grade grey dwarf world. Ding, However, if the host merges the worlds, the normal world will grow a little and thews will be cleared a little faster. ''What? No protector benefits?'' Ajax frowned for a second; however, when he thought about it, he felt it was really heaven-defying to be the protector of multiple grey dwarves. ''It is better to merge them as I can avoid wasting my time ining to this world.'' Without wasting much time, he ordered the system, ''Merge them.'' Even though the benefits from merging were very little, it was better than having nothing. That was the thought in Ajax''s head. As for the inhabitants of this smaller grey dwarf world, Ajax didn''t worry much as he knew nothing would happen to him. ''Rumble'' ''Shuu'' Soon, the world shook a little as the entire world moved towards the normal grade grey dwarf world before colliding with it. Instead of an explosion, both the worlds started merging like two water drops merging together to form a new water drop. ''Ding, The two grey dwarf worlds were sessfully merged. ''Ding, All the traits of the normal grey dwarf world like the appearance of talents,w clearing speed, formation of the natural treasures and reproduction speed, increased by +10 percent. ''They merged just like that?'' Ajax was still unable to believe that the two worlds merged just like that. It only took less than five minutes and there were no changes in the ce he was standing. ''The poption of the normal grade world is now doubled and I will get more weapons in a short time.'' When he thought about the poption of the smaller grey dwarf world, Ajax could not help but feel excited to see thebined effort of nearly two million grey dwarves. Since his normal world also upgraded very recently, the poption of that world was still around one million which was around the same as the poption of any smaller grade grey dwarf world. Moreover, the most important thing was that the traits of the grey dwarf world increased by 10 percent. This means the time for the normal grade grey dwarf world will be reduced by 10 percent. ''I wonder, what happens if I merge more smaller grey dwarf worlds?'' Soon, Ajax had another thought in his mind; however, at that very moment, he shook his head because he knew that finding two grey dwarf worlds was already a great achievement for him. ''Look like I just have to find the world cores of the normal world to fasten the speed; however, it is dangerous for me to go after the normal worlds yet because destroying a normal world will definitely alert the golden demon emperor.'' Ajax was nning about how to upgrade his grey dwarf world as safely as possible because he had just used the ability to teleport his grey dwarf world a month back and he needs to wait at least 11 more months before using that ability. ''Until then, I will slowly clear the smaller evil worlds around me andbine them.'' The thing is, Ajax needed so many world cores because not only he have to upgrade the worlds under him, but he had to increase his cultivation also. However, Ajax was not taking any stress; instead, he was calm and nning everything. "Tunmil, exin the rules to the 100 new towns." Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts and gave the orders to the old advisor as he was good with the words and he was confident enough to let the old dwarf handle the newly arrived one million grey dwarves. "Yes, protector. Just leave them to me." The old dwarf respectfully replied with a confident smile on his face. "Okay then." Ajax nodded his head at the old dwarves before transmitting his voice to all his summons. ''Everyone, gather in front of the protector castle.'' After giving the order to them, Ajax silently flew towards the protector castle. Even though previously he was on the smaller grey world, after sessfully merging of the worlds, he was back on the normal grade grey dwarf world where his protector castle was situated. ''Ding, The host unlocked a new title. Please check it. ''Huh? New title?'' Ajax already had so many titles and when he saw a new title appear, Ajax was not surprised much; instead, he slowly opened the ''Title'' section on his user interface to see a new title. ''Ding, Title name:- World Merger. Effect:- 1) The host will have a 100 percent sess rate in merging the worlds of the same race. Note:- Grade of the world doesn''t matter; however, the smaller world will be swallowed by the normal or greater worlds. 2) The host will have a 20 percent sess rate in merging the worlds of different races. Note:- Grade of the world matters. The 20 percent sess rate is only for same grade worlds. Information:- A title that was given for merging two worlds on the first attempt. ''What?'' When he saw the? effects of the new title, he nearly flew down as he cursed the system, ''System, are you bing crazy with time.'' Chapter 1192 - The Price Of A Smaller World Core The reason why Ajax cursed the system was that previously when he merged the worlds, the system didn''t inform him that there was a chance of failure while merging the world. Without asking the system, Ajax knew what would happen if the process of merging the two worlds failed and it was none other than an instant death for him and everyone residing in the two worlds he was trying to merge. ''System, next time, you better warn me when there are chances of failures while I am doing something risky.'' Ajax scoffed at the system before resuming his flying to the protector castle. ... In front of the projector castle. After flying for some time, Ajax had sessfully reached the protector castle and his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were yet to arrive as they didn''t have Ajax''s speed. ''I think it will take them a couple of hours as most of them are on the other end of the world.'' The only reason why he was able to reach the protector castle was because of his protector status and he knew that even with the speed of the devourer eagle kings it would take nearly an hour to reach them here. Not to mention other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits who didn''t have a speedw. ''Everyone, just wait in front of the protector castle. I have something important to inform you.'' Ajax thought of doing something until his summons reached the protector castle. So, he ordered them to wait for him outside the protector castle. ''Yes, master.'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' Everyone replied to Ajax, making him nod his head before entering the protector castle. ''It''s been a month since I entered the trading realm and I can finally spend another three hours buying or trading something.'' Since he had a lot of trading tokens in his ount, Ajax did''t bother to gather the monthly weapons from the dwarves yet because it would only waste his time. So, he decided to enter the trading realm directly without wasting any time. ... ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax opened his eyes in his virtual avatar in the trading realm. ''Time for shopping.'' Ajax was no longer mesmerized by the structures or stores around him; instead, he directly checked for the shops he wanted to buy items from. "Primeval servant_121, I want another set of fruits that I bought from youst time." Before that, he contacted the primeval ent as Ajax added him to his friends list. "Sure. Come by and take the items." As usual, the primeval servant was respectful to him and asked him to take the items from the store. "I will be there in a few minutes." As soon as he got the confirmation from the primeval ent, Ajax rushed to the store andpleted the transaction. "Young one, do you want any other items?" After the primeval ent received the 30000 trading tokens from Ajax, he asked whether Ajax needed any other items. "I am looking for world cores. Do you have any? Even if it was a smaller world''s world core, it is fine." Even though he could extract the world cores from conquering the worlds, Ajax needed a lot of world cores as he had to use them for multiple purposes. "World core? Stop joking, young one?" The primeval ent shook its head as it continued, "They are avable only for level 4 and higher-level traders. What''s more, a single smaller world''s world core costs around 100000 trading tokens." "What? 100000 trading tokens?" Ajax was shocked to the core when he heard the price of the smaller world''s world core as he didn''t expect it to cost that high. "Yeah. It is just a minimum price. What''s more, I heard even those who had these world cores were not willing to sell or trade unless there were heaven-defying treasures in the market." The prImeval ent nodded its head as it exined to Ajax about it. ''Calm down...calm down...if I can sell a smaller world''s world core from time to time, then I can buy more and more items from the trading realm.'' After trying to calm himself down, Ajax thought of an idea to sell the world cores in the trading realm. ''I will not act so high and mighty right now as I don''tck the trading tokens for now.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t have ns to sell the world cores right now as he still had around 950000 trading tokens remaining in his ount. "It is very costly." Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about it and nodded at the primeval ent before asking, "By the way, how to upgrade my trader rank?" Currently, Ajax was still a level 1 trader and wanted to reach the upper circle of the trading realm because the true treasures would be exchanged hands in that ce. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t know exactly how he had to upgrade his trader''s rank as his trader''s guide was too shy to exin all these things to him. So, he could only ask the primeval ent. "You have to trade the items worth 100000 trading tokens and you will be upgraded to level 2 and to reach level 3, a trader is required to trade items worth one million trading tokens." The primeval ent replied with a nonchnt look on its face; however, Ajax was sure that the primeval ent was sad about his trader''s level. Since Ajax and the primeval ent were friends, Ajax could see the trader''s level of the primeval ent which was level 3 and he was only short of one level to reach the upper circle of the trading realm. "Don''t worry. You will reach that level soon and I will be buying more and more items from you." The primeval ent was nice to him and exined many things about the trading realm. So, Ajax motivated it. "Thank you for your words, but I still need to trade the items worth around 8 million trading tokens." ''...'' Ajax was speechless hearing the primeval ent''s words. Nevertheless, he said a few more things before saying goodbyes to the primeval ent to buy other items. Chapter 1193 - Young Dragonian ''In the future, I don''t need to worry about trading tokens as I can easily sell the smaller world''s world cores to buy other items.'' After gathering the information about the world core, Ajax stopped worrying about his future in the trading realm because it would only be bright with time. ''Also, even if I sell the world cores in the lower section of the trading realm, I will not get the full benefits. So, I will just have to wait and increase my trading level to level 4.'' After roaming in the streets and making some acquaintances, Ajax learned more details about the trading realm. The trading realm is divided into three levels, lower, middle and higher levels depending on the trader''s level. As the level of the trading realm suggests, the higher your trader''s level is, the higher the level you can enter in the trading realm. ''So, world cores are avable in the middle level of the trading realm and all I have to do is increase my trader''s level to level 4.'' Ajax set his initial goal to trader''s level 4 and thought about his present situation, ''I need to trade the items that are worth a little more than 5000 trading coins to reach the trader''s level 2.'' Other than gathering the information about the trading realm, Ajax was asking about the items he needed; however, all the items he needed were needed for him to enter the middle level trading realm. For example, he asked about the battleships or the items that could help cultivators travel to the other worlds; however, those items were not avable in the lower level trading realm and for that, he needed to either enter the middle-level or higher-level trading realm. In the end, he could only shake his head before changing the items he wanted to buy. ''Wait for a second¡­in the five elemental world, I need to conquer the final region, Ancient evergreen woods, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of the mission he got from the system after conquering the Mountain lion woods. So, he thought he decided to buy the items that will be helpful for him in conquering that region. Initially, he thought that he could use his elf followers and the little elf fairy to convince them to acknowledge him as their master. However, the elves from the five elemental world would naturally be arrogant since that world is a special world and not a regr world. ''Anyway, it is better to have items that assist me in conquering that region.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax walked towards the store named ''War tools store''. "A dragonian?" After Ajax entered the store, he was surprised to see a dragon man. Usually, the dragon race is a powerful and prideful race and he didn''t expect a dragonian to have a store in the lower level of the trading realm. ''Looks like the lower-level of the trading realm generates good ie.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after seeing a member of the dragon race. "Hello, customer. What items are you looking for?" The young humanoid dragon looked at Ajax and respectfully asked. "There is an elf region in my world that I want to conquer. Do you have any items that will help me?" Since the dragons love wars and battling, Ajax knew that he just had to inform his need and the dragonian would take care of other things. "Ohohoh¡­sure. Give me a second." As Ajax expected, the young dragonian was excited when he heard what Ajax was nning to do and hurriedly went into the storage of the store to retrieve some items. "I have the items you need to go against any race you want to. Since you mentioned the elf race, then you will need these items; however, I will inform you beforehand that none of these items are cheap." The dragonian returned in no time and warned Ajax about the price; however, Ajax didn''t think much about it as he was a hidden tycoon in the lower-level trading realm with his 900k plus trading coins. At the same time, he was curious about the items brought by the dragon man. "Looks like you are confident. Good." The young dragonian nodded his head after seeing the confident look on Ajax''s face and soon started showing the items he had on him. "Poison dragon king''s horn, as long as you blow this horn, everyone except for the user in a 10 kilometers radius will see a 10 percent decrease in their battle prowess." "Only 10 percent decrease?" Ajax frowned as he was clearly not satisfied with the first item. "Haha¡­there is a special effect for this item." However, the young dragonianughed as he continued exining, "The effect will be stacked three times. So, there will be an overall 30 percent decrease in their battle prowess. Also, the effect will stay for 30 minutes after using the horn. After that, you can summon your army to take care of them." "What? 30 percent decrease in battle prowess for 30 minutes?" This time, Ajax was unable to control his surprise as he looked at the purple-coloured horn in the dragonian''s hands. "However, there are two disadvantages of this horn. One, it requires a lot of essence of nature. So, blowing it three times might even dry a low-level king''s spirit consciousness. So, only if you are a mid-level king realm cultivator, it will be of great use to you." Unlike the other store owner, the dragonian didn''t mind telling the disadvantages of his products because he believed the dragons are the highest race and they should not take disadvantage of the lower races like humans. However, the dragonian sensed a slight hint of divine dragon aura on him. That''s another reason he was more respectful than usual. ''Maybe, he is a servant of a divine dragon. I need to befriend him and get closer to the divine dragon.'' This was the thought in the young dragonian''s head. "Okay. I will take it." While the young dragonian was lost in his thoughts, Ajax didn''t hesitate even a little as he directly said that he would take that item. Chapter 1194 - [Bonus ]Gift For The Master Divine Dragon "Don''t you want to know the second disadvantage?" The young dragonian asked Ajax with a confused look on his face. Since he had already mentioned that there were two disadvantages and only informed one of them, the young dragonian didn''t understand why Ajax was in such a hurry. "I can tell that the second disadvantage will be, it will not differentiate between friend and foe and I have to keep my army 10 kilometers away before using it. Am I right?/" As soon as he heard that the poison dragon''s horn could reduce the battle prowess of the others by 30 percent, he directly used the system to check the information on the item. Even though the usage of the horn requires a lot of spirit consciousness and at the same time, it would not differentiate between friend and foe, Ajax felt he really needed an item like this. As he already knew how to ovee the disadvantages of the horn. "Correct. How do you¡­.are you an appraiser? That must be it." The young dragonian was shocked for a moment; however, he thought about the possible origins of the young human in front of him, he was no longer shocked. ''No wonder the divine dragon sent the human to buy the items in the trading realm. So, this human has an appraisal eye.'' The young dragonian silently thought to himself as he nodded his head at Ajax. "So, how much does it cost?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked the young dragonian about the price of the item. "It costs a little more than 100000 trading tokens or equivalent value of the items." The young dragonian slowly quoted the price of the poison dragon king''s horn, making Ajax quite surprised. However, Ajax felt the item was worth and moreover, the dragon race feels disgusted to take advantage of the other races as they feel they were superior to any other race in the entire universe. "Sure. But, can you say the exact number of trading tokens I need to transfer?" Ajax didn''t even bother to bargain with the young dragon and asked about the exact price. "Actually, I am nning to give you this item as a gift for the Master divine dragon." However, the young dragonian''s words gave Ajax a pleasant surprise. "What? A gift for the Master divine dragon?" Ajax asked the dragonian with a confused look on his face. "Human, I know you are the servant to the master divine dragon. So, as a dragonian, I should naturally send a gift to the Master divine dragon." ''What the hell is he talking about? Is it about Twilight? Oh¡­wait a second.'' After hearing the young dragonian''s words, Ajax understood something. ''Looks like he is misunderstanding me as a servant of Twilight, who is a divine dragon. However, the most important thing is, how the hell did he find out that I have associated with a divine dragon?'' Ajax had a confused look on his face as he didn''t understand how the dragonian was able to find out about the divine dragon. "You might be thinking how I was able to find out about the Master divine dragon, right? Of course, I can sense a weak aura of Master divine dragon in your spirit consciousness." The young dragonian seemed quite proud of himself when he was saying those words and continued saying, "Human, as long as you serve master divine dragon well, you will get the opportunity to take ''Heaven''s blessing'' from the master divine dragon." ''...'' Ajax didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry after hearing those words. ''Even though he misunderstood my status as a Divine dragon''s servant, he was able to sense the divine dragon aura from my spirit consciousness.'' Ajax muttered to himself; however, he didn''t bother about it much before no one knew about his origins and even if they knew, it would take years to just find him. ''Even if they find me, I will just teleport the grey dwarf world and escape easily.'' He looked at the young dragonian and replied with an ear to ear smile, "Sure then. Master divine dragon will be pleased with this gift from a dragon man like you." "I hope so." The young dragonian replied with a slight smile as he asked Ajax, "So, do you want me to show you other items?" "Why not?" Ajax nodded his head and decided to see other items. Time continued to pass and two hours passed by in a jiffy. From the past two hours, Ajax saw more than 10 items and bought three items each priced at 100000 trading tokens. Ajax didn''t even hesitate a little when he sent 300000 trading tokens to the young dragonian. ''Finally, I became a level 2 trader.'' Ajax just had to trade for 5000 trading tokens; however, he knew that the remaining trading tokens would be added to the progression of his next level. "Okay then. I will take my leave for now as I have to buy other items " Even though his trading time of three hours wasing to an end, Ajax was not worried much about it because he knew a level 2 trader could stay much longer than three hours. Moreover, he finished the items he wanted to buy from the War tool''s store, so he decided to leave and search for other items. "Okay. Let''s add each other as friends. If you need any more items in the future, you can just inform me, I will prepare them in advance for you." Soon, Ajax and the young dragonian added each other as friends and only then Ajax get to the young dragonian''s name was ''Young dragonian''. ''I hope that Master divine dragon gives me a ''Divine dragon''s blessing'' to me.'' Looking at the disappearing silhouette of Ajax, the young dragonian muttered to himself. ''Let''s see what are the perks I got for being a level 2 trader.'' Aftering out of the store, Ajax decided to check the benefits of his upgraded trader''s level. Chapter 1195 - Dragon King’s Summoning Scroll <1. He can stay in the trading realm for an entire day in a month> <2. He will receive a one percent cash back for every transaction> <3. He can trade with one of his friends without entering into the trading realm; however, the trader needs to wait for an entire month to use this benefit again> Soon, the words made up of mist appeared in front of Ajax expecting the benefits of a level 2 trader. ''Interesting.'' Of course, Ajax was happy with the benefits from the level 2 trader''s status; however, how could he be satisfied with that? ''If a level 2 trader can enjoy all these benefits, I wonder how much these benefits will be upgraded for level 3 or higher trader''s level?'' When he thought about that, Ajax could not help but be determined to increase his level. After that, he looked for some other items and he got only a single answer and it was he had to enter the mid-level trading realm to get those items. "Anyway, I think I have enough items for now. I will just leave the trading realm for now ande again if I need something in the future." Even though Ajax had more than 20 hours left to stay in the trading realm, Ajax was not interested in the items and all the items he wanted were only traded in the middle level or higher level trading realm. After leaving the young dragonian''s store, Ajax bought a few more items like elementalw stones, bestialw stones to improve the battle prowess of his summons. Actually, the thing is almost all the items that were avable in the lower level of the trading realm, Ajax had either already received from the system or he didn''t require them as he already got past that stage. So, for now, he didn''t want to waste his remaining 600k trading tokens and decided to leave the trading as he had a meeting with his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. ''Maybe, they must have already been waiting for me in front of the protector castle.'' It''s been barely four hours since Ajax entered the trading realm, so he guessed it was enough for his summons to assemble in front of the protector castle. ¡­. In the protector castle. ''Staying in the trading realm really makes my spirit consciousness tired.'' Ajax stood up from the ground as he stretched his body a little before checking the items he bought from the trading realm. "Other than the poison dragon king''s horn, the three other items I bought from the young dragonian were just as powerful as the horn." When he looked at the three other items he bought from the young dragonian, Ajax could not help but reveal an ear to ear smile. ''Ding, Item name:- Earth dragon king''s scale. Effects:- 1) Blocks all the attacks from the mid-level king realm experts or below. 2) It can absorb all the energy attacks of the above-mentioned experts to increase its defence to block high-level king realm experts'' attacks. Special effect:- Upgradable. As long as the scale is dipped in the high-level earth dragon king''s blood, it will upgrade. ''Ding, Item name:- Fire dragon king''s blood. Item Type:- Consumable Effects:- 1) Consuming it will temporarily give the strength of a high-level fire dragon king. Side effect:- The consumer''s battle prowess will be decreased for 12- 24 hours depending on his stamina. ''Ding, Item name:- Dragon king''s summoning scroll. Item Type:- Consumable Effect:- The user of the scroll can summon a random dragon stored in the scroll that could assist the user in his fights for 30 minutes. Usage:- (3 / 3) Looking at the information on the three items, Ajax could not help but feel a lot of confidence in conquering the final region of the five elemental world, the Ancient evergreen forest. Even though he didn''t have to use any of the items when he was inside the normal grade grey dwarf world, outside this world, it was just a level 2 elite general cultivator who can go against low-level king realm experts. ''As long as I conquer thatst elf region, I will gain another world under my control.'' Ajax was looking forward to conquering the five elemental world because it was a special world. "Let''s go and give some orders to my summons before leaving this world." With that thought in his mind, Ajax decided toe out of the protector castle and saw that all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were waiting for him. "So, everyone is here." Soon, Ajax flew into the sky and nodded his head when he saw that everyone was there. "Yes, summoning master." "Yes, master." Everyone nodded their heads at Ajax as they stood up from their resting positions to show their respect to Ajax. "Cale, enter the normal grade elf world and give these three fruits to the little elf fairy. Tell her that the world core needs to consume these fruits for faster world development." First, Ajax gave three fruits he bought from the trading realm to one of the devourer eagle kings and asked him to give them to the little elf fairy. "Yes, master." Since Cale was along with Ajax when the teleportation circle was constructed, he nodded his head and took the three fruits. Soon, the teleportation circle was activated as the devourer eagle king disappeared when he entered the glowing circle. "Now, let''s get to the main business." With the side businesspleted, Ajax looked at all his summons on the ground and said, "I don''t want to wait for the devourer eagle king''s ability to create portals to the other worlds to reset because I need more world cores." Hearing his words, all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits were listening attentively. "So, I came up with a bold idea of travelling to the other worlds without using the portals. So, what do you say? Are you ready for it?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked his summons about it. Chapter 1196 - Four World Conquering Teams Hearing Ajax''s words, all his summons were excited as they waited for Ajax toplete his words. "You must be wondering how we will be travelling to the other worlds without the portal, right?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he took out four small green leaves from his inventory. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he took out those leaves from the inventory, they transformed into three-meter leaves and hovered in front of Ajax. "These are the trophies we got from killing the high-level demon kings and their primary use is to travel between worlds." Ajax informed the usage of the four magical leaves hovering in front of him to his summons. ''Yes. The high-level demon kings used these magical leaves to enter our world; however, aren''t they all destroyed?'' "That''s right! I also noticed that they were destroyed the moment the demon apostle was killed." Soon, all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits remembered where they had seen these familiar magical leaves. "The magical leaves used by the demon apostles were destroyed; however, the magical leaves used by the named high-level demon kings were still intact and we could use them to conquer the nearby worlds. What do you say?" Ajax nodded his head as he exined where he got the magical leaves from and once again asked them. "We are always ready for the fight, summoning master." "I am itching for a fight too." . . Everyone became excited as they replied to Ajax with great joy in their eyes. "However, there are only four magical leaves and ording to the information I have on them, only three regr humans or humanoid beings could travel using one magical leaf. So, from you, only 12 will be selected to send to the surrounding worlds to conquer them." Ajax was a little sad to say that; however, he can''t do anything about it as he only has four magical leaves to travel to other worlds. ''...'' Hearing that, everyone became silent for a moment; however, when they understood Ajax''s words, all the re-cultivated spirit breasts were excited. As for those spirit beasts who were yet to re-cultivate like the devourer eagle kings, they were disappointed a lot. "Haha¡­there is no need to be sad because you will be busy with other things and I will guarantee that you will be happy with that." However, when Ajax thought about the conquering of the five elemental world''s final region, Ajax promised the devourer eagle kings that they would be having a good fight. "So, it''s time to select four teams among you to travel to the nearby smaller worlds to conquer them." After promising the devourer eagle kings, Ajax looked at the remainder of his summons before starting the process to select the teams. "Let''s start with selecting the team leaders first." Without wasting much time, Ajax nced at everyone in front of him and said, "From the contracted spirit beasts'' section, Twilight and Damilius will be the leaders of team 1 and team 2." "As for team 3 and team 4, it will be Volcanis and Cerauno." Ajax had already thought about this n during his cultivation of thew as he basically did nothing but cultivate the cultivator''sw. So, he thought about this n in the middle of his cultivation. Everyone acknowledged the strength of these four team leaders except for one elemental spirit. It was none other than Blood, the blood elemental spirit who had some kind of rivalry with Cerauno and he thought he was much stronger than Cerauno. However, he didn''t dare to say it out loud because Blood knew he was newpared to Cerauno in joining Ajax''s team. ''Huh? Looks like someone is jealous. I need to do something about it.'' How could Ajax not notice it? He was keeping an eye on Blood whenever he gave some orders to Cerauno and he was right that Blood was bing more and more jealous whenever Cerauno got attention. However, Ajax didn''t want that kind of behaviour among his summons. Be it an elemental spirit or a contracted spirit beast, they have to trust their fellow summons unconditionally. Only then, they could bring out their true battle prowess. ''I hope what I am about to do next might take care of that jealousy.'' Ajax thought about it already when he selected the team leaders. So, he hoped it would work. "Four team leaders,e forward." Soon, a fire elemental spirit, a lightning elemental spirit, a sea tauren king and a little boy around 10 years of age, walked forward and stood in front of Ajax. Volcanis and Cerauno were not the king realm elemental spirits but Ajax had a lot of confidence in them and their quick decision-making skills. He observed them for quite some time and knew what they were capable of with their battle prowess. As for Damilius, the sea tauren king had recently evolved and even became a king realm humanoid spirit beast. Even though he was just a low-level spirit beast king, he had good skills to lead a team in conquering a smaller world. And thest one was none other than the Divine destructive twilight dragon whom he trusts he could solo an entire smaller world. So, he was not worried about him at all. Moreover, he is not re-cultivated and even became a summoner. "Twilight, the ck kitty and the red kitty will be apanying you and it is your responsibility to protect them during the mission. Do you understand?" Soon, Ajax selects the remaining team members for the four teams starting with the divine dragon''s team. "Leave it to me, master. I will protect them even if it costs my life." Even though those words didn''t suit the current form of the divine dragon, Ajax didn''t have any doubt in it. "Also, wear this ne all the time. It hides your divine aura well and stops unnecessary attention from anyone passing by in the endless space." While saying that, Ajax gave a ne that had a small dragon tooth and said those words. Chapter 1197 - Blood Has A Problem The ne was another gift he received from the young dragonian that could hide the divine presence of a dragon from others. Since Ajax already thought of sending the divine dragon to the other worlds to conquer, he dly epted it. "Thank you, master." The little kid replied to Ajax with a slight smile on his face. ''It''s actually a gift for you from a dragonian. I am just a delivery man.'' Ajax muttered to himself; however, he didn''t say anything about it as he felt it was a waste of time amidst such a serious meeting. "Twilight, ck kitty and Red kitty, you three stand beside Team 2 fo now." Afterpleting the spirit beast teams, Ajax looked at the elemental spirits for team 3 and team 4. "How many of you think you can conquer a small world on your own?" However, he didn''t select any elemental spirits; instead, he asked them a question? and continued saying, "As long as you are confident in that task,e forward and let me see you." Unlike the contracted spirit beasts, who were only a few and among them he just had to select the re-cultivated spirit beasts or humanoid spirit beasts, there were more than 20 elemental spirits under him. What''s more, most of them were powerful in their own way. So, he asked that question to eliminate the elemental spirits. As he expected, as soon as Ajax asked that question, only a few elemental spirits came forward and they were Necros, Bane, Ignis, Prophis, Blood, Zen, ris, Quarris and Tempos. As for the others, their strength was around level 1 elite general realm and they didn''t have much confidence in taking on an entire world. "Good." Ajax was surprised to see nine elemental spirits and nodded his head before saying, "ris, Quarries and Tempos, you can''t be part of the adventurer teams. Do you know the reason, right?" Since these nine elemental spirits were confident in conquering a smaller world on their own, Ajax''s task of selecting the elemental spirits for the adventurer teams had reduced by more than half as he just had to select four elemental spirits from the nine elemental spirits. However, he didn''t think much before eliminating the three elemental spirits and instead of exining the reason, Ajax asked the reason from those three elemental spirits themselves. "After we use the demon kings'' hearts we will be weakened greatly and even a general realm of beings could kill us." The three elemental spirits knew why Ajax directly eliminated them without a second thought. Even though they could temporarily increase their strength to the king realm and conquer the world, a slight mistake might cost them their lives and Ajax was not willing to take that risk. "You are correct." Ajax was satisfied with the three elemental spirits who joinedtely but their thoughts were more or less with his thoughts. "Next, Zen and Prophis, I need you two with me because I have other things for you to do." After eliminating the three elemental spirits, Ajax eliminated another two elemental spirits saying that he had other things for them. Ajax wanted Zen to be with him because he was good at assassination and he could kill even low-level king realm experts with his elementalw. And as for Prophis, the space elemental spirit, Ajax needed him to store the 10 devourer eagle kings in his space as he could not store them in his inner world because of no contract with them. "Yes, summoning master." Both elemental spirits didn''t ask any questions as they nodded their heads because moving back. "That leaves us with four elemental spirits. Two for each team." Finally, there were four elemental spirits namely Ignis, Blood, Necros and Bane and with a slight smile on his face, Ajax made the final teams as:- "Ignis ad Bane, you will be under Volcanis and Cerauno, you will be leaving the other two." "We will not disappoint you, summoning master." Volcanis and Cerauno replied to Ajax with a face full of resolution, making Ajax satisfied with their attitude. "So, does anyone still have a problem?" Despite the fact that Ajax knew who was dissatisfied with team formation, Ajax asked with a nonchnt look on his face. "..." Everyone looked at each other without understanding why Ajax was asking such a question because in their view, whatever Ajax orders, they should do it withoutining as his ns work out all the time. Moreover, Ajax was not a forcing type summoning master who made them do what they didn''t want to want. So, why would anyone have problems with his decision? "Su¡­summoning master, can I not join team 4? Instead, I want to go to team 3." To everyone''s surprise, there was a voice that made all the summons shocked as they looked at the elemental spirit with a frown. It was none other than the blood elemental spirit who didn''t want to be under the leadership of Cerauno, the elemental spirit he didn''t like from the beginning. "Sure." Surprisingly, Ajax nodded his head and continued saying, "If you don''t want to join team 4, then you can feel free to stay in the inner world." Ajax shrugged his hands as he looked at the elemental spirits that were not selected into a team before saying, "Which elemental spirit will rece you?" "Summoning master. Sorry, I will stay in team 4." Initially, the blood elemental spirit was happy; however, when he heard Ajax''ster words, he became anxious and hurriedly apologized to him and decided to stay in team 4. "Are you sure? I thought you didn''t like Cerauno and didn''t want to be under his leadership?" Ajax was sure that only Blood had the problem with Cerauno whereas Cerauno didn''t even bother topete with Blood. So, Ajax wanted to make Blood realize that during this expedition and that was the reason why he threw the blood elemental spirit into team 4. "No, summoning master. I am alright." With a forced smile, Blood shook his head and replied to Ajax hoping he still have a chance to retain his position. Chapter 1198 - Ajax’s Future Plans Even though the blood elemental spirit didn''t like being under the lightning elemental spirit, his urge to go out to conquer the other worlds was much higher than his rivalry with Cerauno. So, he was ready to endure it despite the fact he didn''t like it. "Are you sure?" Ajax asked the same question once again; however,pared to before, this time, Ajax was very serious and the blood elemental spirit shuddered just from looking at him. "Y..yes, summoning master. I will follow Leader Cerauno''s orders without making any fuss." Finally, the blood elemental spirit gritted his teeth as he replied to Ajax. "Okay. You can join the team then." The seriousness on Ajax''s face disappeared as it was reced with a slight smile as Ajax continued, "However, if there was even the slightest mistake and if I found out the reason behind it was you, you will be seriously punished." The slight smile on his face and the words he said didn''t match; however, the blood elemental spirit understood, he should not mess up the mission. "I will not mess up the mission, summoning master." Blood nodded his head with a face full of seriousness. ''Cerauno, I don''t know what you will do during this mission, Blood has to see you as a good friend; instead of a rival. Do you understand?'' Next, Ajax silently transmitted his voice and gave him a side mission. ''...'' Hearing his side mission, the lightning elemental spirit Cerauno didn''t know what to do for a moment; however, after looking at the blood elemental spirit, he nodded his head and replied, ''Don''t worry, summoning master. I will try my best in doing that.'' Cerauno had only one goal in his life and it was to be as powerful as possible; however, Blood had an additional goal and it was to suppress the lightning elemental spirit. Cerauno didn''t want the blood elemental spirit''s mentality to change; only then he could be stronger. ''Good.'' Ajax didn''t expect Cerauno to agree that easily. So, he was a little surprised before looking at Necros and transmitted his voice, ''Necros, your primary mission is to make sure these two elemental spirits don''t fight each other and if possible try to fight as little as possible. So that they could join forces and rely on each other.'' It is very easy to be friends when two rivals fight together against an enemy. So, Ajax was sending Necros, who was as powerful as Volcanis and with the special buff ''Immunity'', even king realm experts could not do anything to him, to take care of Cerauno and Blood. ''Yes, summoning master¡­hehe.'' As usual, Necros replied in his eerie voice with an eerie chuckle. "All four teams stand side by side." Once the teams were selected, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he asked them to stand side by side. "You four teams will be travelling to the four smaller worlds around this grey dwarf world and conquer them." Soon, Ajax started giving out orders as he continued, "Once you conquer the worlds, you have to wait to rest for a few days before leaving to the other smaller worlds. From now on, you four teams are your own and you will be conquering the smaller worlds." "Remember, if the inhabitants of any smaller worlds are not demons, you have to make a decision regarding whether you have to kill them or give them a chance. I am leaving this decision to you." "Now, you can fly off and hope you conquer more and more worlds." Ajax was excited when he was saying these words because if these four teams could conquer the smaller worlds, he could collect more world cores just by entering the conquered smaller world. As for how he was going to collect the world cores, Ajax was not worried much as he was waiting to conquer more and more smaller worlds for now. ''Once I have more king realm contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, I can directly conquer the normal worlds and use their world cores to increase my strength.'' ''Once my strength increases, I can casually enter these conquered evil smaller worlds to pick the world cores and develop the other conquered smaller worlds.'' Ajax thought his nning was perfect; however, there were still some unknown variables to mess up his n. Nevertheless, Ajax knew he was doing the right thing by sending the four adventurer teams as he no longer had to worry about their cultivation resources. The moment they leave this world, they are on their own, they have to collect their own cultivation resources, train on their own and look after themselves. ''I hope that eight months are enough for me to be strong enough to conquer a normal world.'' Ajax set a goal that he would start conquering the normal grade worlds after eight months. Until then, he would be focusing only on the smaller worlds to slowly increase his cultivation. ording to his estimates, Ajax could roughly increase his cultivation by a minor realm for every month with the help of the devourer eagle kings. So, he only needed eight months to reach level 10 elite general realm and he felt at that time, he could easily conquer the normal worlds because his elemental spirits and the contracted spirits would also be very powerful. "Summoning master, we will take off now." "Master, by the time you next see us, we will be even more powerful." The four newly formed adventurer teams used the magical leaves to fly into the sky and soon disappeared from Ajax''s view. ''I hope you will give me quite a surprise when we see each other next time.'' Ajax silently thought to himself and looked at his remaining summons. "Everyone, enter the inner world for now." Soon, he sent everyone back into his inner world as he was nning to go to Zrochester province; however, he didn''t send the 10 devourer eagle kings as he had another mission for them while he was gone to the purple stone world. Chapter 1199 - Justice And His Army Of Spirit Beasts ''It''s been a month since I entered the Purple stone world. It will go and train in the Never-returning cave to increase my bloodline points.'' After giving some orders to Lurmer and Tunmil, Ajax thought of returning to the Purple stone world. Not only to enter the never-returning cave, but he also wanted to see how much his spirit beasts had grown in the Cursed wilderness. ''System, I want to go to the Purple stone world.'' Ajax had a few tickets to the Purple stone world which he earned from the Lucky Roulette spins. So, he asked the system to open the portal. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a portal opened in front of Ajax as he jumped into the portal. ...¡­. In the inner section of the cursed wilderness, "Justice, are you sure about taking the sixth-ranked region on your own?" Barbarian asked Justice with a serious look on his face. "Uncle Darbaudr, with my spirit beast army, I can take it down; however, I just need someone to take care of the boss of the sixth-ranked region. As long as you can help me with that, I will make sure to conquer that region with zero casualties." Justice replied to the barbarian with a determined look on his face. Justice, the personal disciple of the guild master, was sent out of the secret realm by his master to gain some personal experience in the Cursed wilderness. By chance, Justice met Barbarian and soon, he showed interest in creating his army. After a month of serious training, Justice wanted to challenge the sixth-ranked spirit beast king''s region in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. However, he was not confident in taking down the leader as he was yet to awaken a cultivator''sw and could not go against someone who awakened a cultivator''sw. So, he asked Darbaurdr to help him with that and he would make sure topletely conquer that region without losing anyone. "You are quite an ambitious one, little brat." Darbaudr had personally witnessed how hard Justice worked for the past one month; however, deep down, he felt it was still too soon for Justice to challenge other regions. Currently, Darbaudr was looking after Gaimont''s territory which was ranked 10th before he left for the special training under the King of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. After that, Darbaudr along with the help of the Primitive ape king, conquered the seventh, eighth and ninth regions of the inner section while waiting for a chance to conquer the sixth-ranked region. With the increase in the regions under Darbaudr, he gave quite a good number of spirit beasts to Justice among which a quarter of them were Battle beasts that have peak rank 6 strength. "Since you brother Ajax''s follower, I will take care of the sixth-ranked spirit beast king; however, I will not help you with hisckeys." While the conversation between Justice and Darbaudr was going on, a huge white ape walked from the distance as he replied to Justice. "Sir Ape." How could Justice not know about the Primitive ape king who had contributed a lot in developing Gaimont''s region? As soon as he saw the ape king, Justice respectfully bowed to him. "Hey, monkey. Just being like that all the time." Darbaudr frowned as he scoffed at the primitive ape king and replied to Justice, "It''s been a month and master mighte here anytime. So, wait for some time and increase your strength for now." "Darbaudr, what are you worried about? Another territory will be a good gift for Brother Ajax." The primitive ape king replied without showing any signs of backing down. "Damn you¡­.monkey." Seeing that the primitive ape king was not backing down, Darbaudr became a little furious as he replied, "There is another reason why I am not supporting your decision." "And what that might be?" Ape king asked the barbarian with a curious look on his face. "I heard the fourth, fifth and sixth-ranked territories have formed some kind of alliance and attacking one of these regions will only result in heavy casualties. So, stop being so primitive and think about the casualties." Darbaudr exined the reason why he was not supporting them in their decision to attack the sixth-ranked territory. "..." Finally, the primitive ape king didn''t give any reply for a few moments before looking at Justice and saying, "You heard him." After saying that, the ape king left without saying much. "Sorry uncle Darbaudr, I didn''t know something like that was going on with the three territories." Justice apologized and he was embarrassed when he thought of his earlier words. "Don''t worry. I am nning to take down the three territories at the same time. At that time, I will let you take care of the sixth-ranked territory." Darbaudr knew that the youngsters were hot-blooded and sometimes, they might be impulsive. So, he shook his head before saying those words. "Really? Three territories at the same time?" Justice was shocked when he heard those words and soon, he was excited about it. "Yes. If everything goes right, we can challenge the three territories at once before thepetition in the Ylercester province starts." The barbarian reapplied after thinking for a moment. "As expected of the barbarian king." All of a sudden, a voice from the distance could be heard by Justice and Darbaudr that made both of them stand up with excited looks on their faces. "Master." "Young master." Both Justice and Darbaudr greeted the owner of the voice with respectful looks on their faces. It was none other than Ajax who had returned to the Purple stone world an hour ago. Initially, he wanted to head to the never-returning cave directly; however, he felt like taking a look at how Darbaudr and others were doing. So, he directly came to Gaimont''s territory as he knew Darbaudr would be in that ce. "Looks like there is no need for me to ask ''How have you been?'' after seeing all the developments in this territory." Ajax walked towards them with a slight smile on his face as he replied to them. Chapter 1200 - Recruitment "We are doing great, young master." Darbaudr replied with a huge smile on his face because he was waiting for Ajax''s return to inform him about something. "Good. Is it regarding the Battle beasts formation?" Ajax could guess why Darbaudr was excited as he felt the changes in the battle beasts formation from this distance. "That''s right, young master. The formation had been upgraded to level 3 and it could turn 10 normal spirit beasts into battle beasts in a single day." The barbarian exined the changes that happened in the Battle beasts formation. "10 battle beasts per day? That''s a lot." Ajax was surprised to hear that and nodded his head before asking, "Also, you are nning to attack three territories at once? Are you confident?" Earlier, Ajax heard the barbarian''s words. So, he asked about it. "Taking down the territories is easy; however, we are stillcking someone with the battle prowess as me or the primitive ape king to take care of one of the three spirit beast kings." Darbaudr nodded his head as he exined everything about his n. Even though there were many powerful spirit beasts under Darbaudr, the leaders of the fourth to sixth ranked territories are in another league where Darbaudr and the primitive ape king could barely win if they used their full powers. As for the surrendered leaders of seventh, eighth and ninth-ranked territories, they were nowhere near those leaders of fourth to sixth ranked territories. "So, it looks like I did the right thing by bringing some gifts for you." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax tossed a space ring at Darbaudr. "In the space rings, there are five heaven grade primitive stones along with 100 high-grade primitive stones. Give the heaven grade primitive stones for the territory leaders under us and other spirit beasts with equivalent battle prowess." Before the barbarian could check the contents of the space ring, Ajax exined about the items inside the space ring and at the same time, he even said how to distribute them. "Heaven grade primitive stones?" Darbaudr was shocked when he heard there were five heaven grade primitive stones in the space ring because as long as these stones were consumed by the spirit beasts with impure bloodlines, they would be pure bloodlines. However, there was always an exception for high-level bloodlines to directly be a pure bloodline. "Young master, even in the Ylercester province, the high-grade primitive stones are already rare. Not only do you have 100 of them but you even have five heaven grade primitive stones that could even make the King level spirit beasts go crazy." Even though Darbaudr knew that his young master had a powerful master but giving away five heaven grade primitive stones just like that made the barbarian don''t know what to say. "..." Ajax didn''t say anything as he didn''t have any powerful master; however, he didn''t bother to exin it as he continued saying, "As for 100 high-grade primitive stones, the spirit beasts generals can have them." "So, are you confident in going against the three territories at once?" After finishing his words, Ajax asked the barbarian with a slight smile on his face. "Of course, I am confident, young master." How could he not be confident after having hundreds of battle beasts along with the spirit beasts who would be having their bloodline purified with the help of primitive stones? So,? of course, Darbaudr was excited as he replied to Ajax with a face full of determination. "Good. I will leave these things to you as I have faith in you." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. Actually, if Ajax really wanted to take over the Cursed wilderness, it would take him only a couple of hours even without the help of devourer eagle kings. His strongest contracted spirit beasts below the king realm like Twilight and the little golden bear king along with the senior golden bear king are the highest level spirit beasts in the Zrochester province except for the Primeval ent who have lived for centuries. Not to mention, the ck kitty who gained a bestialw after using a bestialw stone. Also, his elemental spirits like Volcanis, Ignis, Cerauno, Blood and many others could easily turn the entire Cursed Wilderness upside down with their battle prowess. However, Ajax wanted a powerful spirit beast army along with good spirit beasts leaders who could manage the armies. So, it was a recruitment process for the spirit beasts by Ajax to pick some good spirit beast leaders. ''As long as the entire inner section of the cursed wilderness is unified, I can start teleporting the spirit beasts to other worlds to speed up the world-conquering mission.'' Ajax thought of many ways to speed up the process of conquering the worlds. ''Speaking of bloodlines, I wonder when the mutated spirit crane will wake up from her slumber.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of Princess Daphne''s spirit beast whom he had to protect from the ''House of dragons''; however, there was no sign of anyone from the ''House of dragons''. Nevertheless, Ajax decided toplete the mission ahead of time by giving a heaven-grade primitive stone to the mutated spirit crane. Because he felt, the mission will bepleted as long as the mutated spirit crane''s bloodline reaches 100 percent and it was already at 99 percent and Ajax was rich enough to give a heaven grade primitive stone. ''It is not because I am rich, I want the ability to travel between the barriers between the provinces.'' Ajax was determined to enter the other provinces to take a look and resume his revenge on the Assassin sect in the other provinces. "Young master, since you are here, are you nning to attend the contest in the Ylercester province?" After conversing for some time, the barbarian asked Ajax out of nowhere because he felt that was the timely arrival of his young master. "Contest in Ylercester province?" Ajax was curious about that words as he asked the barbarian about the contest. Chapter 1201 - New Ability "Yes. There will be a contest in Ylercester province within a month in which all the young geniuses from the entire Purple stone world will be attending. There will be a lot of good rewards just for participating, not to mention the top 100, top 10, top 3 and champion." Darbaudr exined to Ajax about the contest and he also didn''t forget about the barriers that would open for a single minute in a month. "Interesting. As long as the rewards are good, I can''t miss the contest." Even though Ajax said that he only wanted to fight the other young geniuses in the contest and at the same time, he wanted to take care of the assassin sect branch in that province. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Protect the little blue''. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, Ajax received a system notification that made him pleasantly surprised. ''How the hell did itplete? Did little blue already got the Crowned turquoise queen''s inheritance?'' Ajax thought about the mutated spirit crane as he wondered why the mission waspleted all of a sudden. However, after thinking for a moment, Ajax guessed about something and nodded his head. ''Since the mission ispleted, I can finally return the mutated spirit crane to Princess Daphne.'' Ajax thought about the beautiful princess and he felt something in his heart. ''Ding, The host received the ability to move between the provinces without getting obstructed by the barriers. Just as Ajax was thinking about Princess Daphne, Ajax received another system notification that made hime out of the thoughts of Princess Daphne. ''Finally, no one can stop me from entering the other provinces.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he suddenly turned into a different person. ''Assasin sect in the Ylercester province, get ready to face my wrath.'' Ajax was just waiting to get that ability before he could find out the true mastermind behind the massacre in the Orphanage. "Young master, looks like you have made up your mind to participate in the contest. Should I follow you to the Ylerecester province?" Seeing the serious look on Ajax, the barbarian asked Ajax. "Huh? There is no need for that. For now, you have to stay here and take care of the Inner section of the cursed wilderness." If Ajax was moving on his own, he could be more flexible in either attacking someone or escaping. So, he didn''t want any escort. "Then you have to be careful, young master." Darbaudr could sense that his young master was no longer the greenhorn he used to be and knew he could take care of himself on his own. But, still, he asked Ajax to take care as anything could happen in this dog-eat-dog world. "By the way, I wanted to inform you about something." Nodding his head, Ajax replied to the barbarian as he continued, "If you want to go to the Ylercester province, you can just say it. I will ask someone else to take care of the inner section of the cursed wilderness." Since Darbaudr was actually from the Ylercester province, Ajax assumed that the barbarian might want to go back. So, he asked what Darbaudr was thinking about it. "No, young master. I will only enter the Ylercester province when my cultivator''sw reaches level 10. The moment I enter the Ylerceser province, I have to break into the King realm." Darbaudr was very serious as he informed Ajax about his own conditions to enter the Ylercester province. "I hope you will aplish that as soon as possible." Ajax knew that it was impossible to be a King realm cultivator by staying in the Zrochester province. So, if Darbaudr wanted to achieve a breakthrough, he had to enter the Ylercester province. However, at the same time, Darbaudr didn''t want to enter the Ylercester province before having a level 10 cultivator''sw. Nevertheless, if Ajax wants, he could enter the province even now to protect Ajax from the enemies. "Okay then. I have something I have to do. I wille back here to say goodbye when I enter the Ylercester province." Even though Ajax received the ability to pass through the barrier, Ajax was not in a hurry to rush into the Ylercestr province because he had other ns he had to finish first. "Okay, young master." Darbaudr nodded his head. "Justice, inform me when the vagrant cultivators are nning to go to the Ylercester province, I will go to the Ylercester province with everyone." Since the contest in the Ylercester province seemed to be a great contest for young genius, Ajax could guess that the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators would definitely join the contest and he wanted to go together with them. Because he thought he could use them as his alibi after messing with the assassin sect in the Ylercester province. "Yes, young master. Everyone will be happy to hear that." Justice was also the personal disciple of one of the vagrant cultivators. So, he knew how they felt about Ajax. "Good. It is gettingte for me. I will see you after 25 days then." After saying that, Ajax rushed out of the inner section of the cursed wilderness and entered the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. "Little birdie,e out." His main reason foring to the Purple stone was to enter the never returning cave; however, he learned about the contest in the Ylcerster province and what''s more, unexpectedly, hepleted the mission. So, he put his n to enter the never returning cave on hold for now and decided to return the mutated spirit crane. So,? he summoned the spirit crane. "Congrattions, Little blue. Finally, you got the inheritance of the Crowned turquoise queen." First, Ajax congratted the mutated spirit crane before asking, "Are you ready to meet your master?" "It is all thanks to you, Ajax. If not for you, Ii would have long died in the hands of the members from the ''House of dragons''." The spirit crane thanked Ajax; however, suddenly, the look in its eyes changed, "Ajax, my master is in danger." Chapter 1202 - Soul Injury? "Ajax, my master is in danger." The mutated spirit crane became anxious as it informed Ajax about her master. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard that because the mutated spirit crane''s master was none other than Princess Daphne, who is a daughter of the King of the Zrochester province. Who would be daring enough to harm the daughter of the King? "Let''s go. Guide the way." Since a strong contracted spirit beast could sense the fluctuations of its master, Ajax believed the mutated spirit crane''s words and asked it to guide the way towards its master. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the mutated spirit crane flew into the sky with Ajax on its back as it flew to the outer section of the Cursed Wilderness. ... The outer section of the Cursed Wilderness. A dozen masked men were surrounding a young girl who seemed to be lightly injured. Beside her, there was an old man who was unconsciously lying on the ground. The young girl was none other than Princess Daphne and the old man was the Old Lin, who always protected the Princess Daphne. Currently, they were surrounded by the royal shadows that were sent by her father King Stephen to bring her back. "Princess Daphne, please don''t trouble us ande back to the royal pce. His Majesty is waiting for you." One of the royal shadows said in a calm tone. "I am not going back with you. The moment he asked you to kill Grandpa Lin and bring me back, he died in my view." For the first time in her life, Princess Daphne said such words about her father. His father had made her endure so much pain from a very young age; however, she had never said such words but when he ordered the royal shadows to kill her grandpa Lin, she felt her father had gone too far. Compared to her father, Princess Daphne cared a lot for the old man Lin because he looked after her and protected her from the beginning of her life. "Princess Daphne, His Majesty never asked us to kill him and even now, Old Lin is not dead, he just received a minor soul injury. As long as we take him back, we can easily save him." The same royal shadow replied to Princess Daphne with an emotionless tone. Even though he had mentioned that the old Lin had received only a minor injury, the soul injury was not a minor one. With the current standards of healing in the Zrochester province, it was impossible for anyone to save the old man Lin. However, the royal shadow n was to bring Princess Daphne back to the royal pce. As for the old man Lin, whether he lives or dies, it doesn''t matter to them. "If something happened to Grandpa Lin, I am going to kill you all along with your master." Princess Daphne shouted at the royal shadows before saying, "Let''s go to the royal pce then." Since saving the old man Lin was the primary thing now, Princess Daphne didn''t think much before agreeing to go back with the royal shadows. "Let''s go." The royal shadows heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Princess Daphne''s words and hurriedly tried to go back. "What is the hurry?" Just as they decided to move, a young man along with the mutated spirit cranended on the ground as the young man asked with a slight smile on his face. "Ajax?" Of course, it was Ajax who arrived just now, making Princess Daphne surprised. "Ajax, Grandpa Lin is injured, we have to bring him back to the royal healer to heal him; otherwise, he will¡­" Princess Daphne was unable to finish her words as she informed Ajax about the old man Lin''s condition. "Huh? Injured by whom?" Ajax could see that an old man was carried by one of the royal shadows as Ajax moved towards them. "Hey young man, stop wasting our time. We have to bring him back to the royal pce as soon as possible." The leader of the group frowned at Ajax''s questions as he asked him to move away. "A soul injury?" When he checked the old man Lin''s status, it was mentioned by the system that his soul was injured and needed to be treated as soon as possible. "He was injured by the royal shadows." However, Princess Daphne answered his question before asking, "But, they promised to help me, Ajax. So, it will not be a problem." "Huh?...Haha." Hearing Princess Daphne''s words, Ajax frowned for a moment beforeughing out loud. "Princess Daphne, do you think is there someone capable of healing a soul injury in the Zrochester province?" Ajax''sugh made all the royal shadows angered; however, since he was an associate of Princess Daphne, no one made any move fearing that Princess Daphne might threaten them with her life. "..." Princess Daphne remained silent because she didn''t have an answer to the question because until now, neither she nor anyone close to her had a soul injury. Moreover, she never visited the royal healer in the royal pce because her Grandpa would help her with any injuries or sickness. "Since you don''t know the answer, I will tell you this, there is no one in the Zrochester province. Moreover, I guess there were none in the Ylercester province because a healer that could heal the soul injuries is very rare." Ajax shook his head as he continued, "As for why these royal shadows who should be protecting you attacked you and your grandpa Lin while lying about the Astral healer, I don''t know. But I think is sure, you definitely didn''t want to go back to the royal pce, right?" "You are lying to me?" Hearing Ajax''s words, Princess Daphne looked at the leader of the royal shadows and angrily asked them before looking at Ajax, "Ajax, please help me in healing the soul injuries of grandpa Lin." Since Ajax seemed to have some knowledge regarding the soul injuries, she asked Ajax to help her. "Kid, I am going to kill you for defaming us." One of the royal shadows rushed towards Ajax to kill him in a single blow. Chapter 1203 - Killing In A Flash As the loyal guards of the royal family, these royal shadows have pride since their master is the ruler of the entire province. However, when they saw a young man trying to destroy their ns along with ming them for injuring an old man, they could not take it and rushed to kill Ajax. "Now, you want to kill me?" Ajax revealed a slight smile as he asked the iing royal shadow. "So what? Try dodging my attack first before smiling." Seeing the smile on Ajax''s face, the royal shadow that was rushing towards them became even more angry as he used his dagger to cut through Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, before the dagger could touch Ajax, Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared beside Princess Daphne. "Princess Daphne, as I promised, I brought your contracted spirit beast in one piece." Pointing at the mutated spirit crane, Ajax spoke with Princess Daphne without bothering the royal shadows. "Thank you, Ajax." Princess Daphne could not say thank you to Ajax as she red at the royal shadows and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Why are you attacking my friend?" "Princess Daphne, how can he be worthy to befriend you? Please move aside and let us do our job." The leader of the group frowned when he saw Ajax use ''Teleport'' very easily; however, he knew that it was only petty tricks that would notst for much longer. "No¡­" ''Swoosh'' Before Princess Daphne could finish her words, all the royal shadows rushed towards Ajax to kill him before Ajax could speak any other words. ''Halo, freeze them.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax summoned his time elemental spirit Halo and as soon as he was summoned, he directly used his first skill ''Time halt''. Except for Ajax, everyone, including Princess Daphne froze as Ajax looked at all the royal shadows. Currently, Halo is a level 3 elite elemental general and he could even freeze a peak elite general realm for more than 5 seconds not to mention these royal shadows who only have level 8 and below cultivation. ''Do you think I forget when one of you made Twilight go crazy with the ''Beast enragement powder''?'' Ajax remembered that event very well and from that time onwards, he didn''t have a good opinion on these so-called royal shadows. ''Inheritance sword.'' With a thought, a majestic sword appeared in Ajax''s hands as he pierced the hearts of all the royal shadows. As usual, he got the essence of nature from his kills which Ajax didn''t bother to check. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' After 10 seconds, the effects of the ''Time halt'' disappeared and Ajax sent Halo back into the inner world. As for the royal shadows, they all fell to the ground without knowing how they died because in their heads, they were still thinking of attacking Ajax; however, they were lying on the ground in their own blood. "What? Who killed them all?" Princess Daphne was shocked to see the corpses of the royal shadows lying on the ground and asked Ajax with an anxious look on her face. "I don''t know." Aja shrugged as he didn''t bother to exin everything to her because his focus was on the old man, who was unconsciously lying on the ground. "Anyway, the important thing is to save your grandpa." While saying that, Ajax ced his hands on the old man''s head as he slowly injected the Sacred Astral energy. With the injection of the Sacred Astral Energy, the paleplexion of the old man started changing as his face started getting colour. ''Huh? Is he healing grandpa Lin on his own?'' When Princess Daphne heard Ajax''s words, she thought he might take the old man to the vagrant cultivators; however, when she saw that Ajax was healing her grandpa, she was shocked for a moment which was soon reced by her excitement. ''Is he an Astral healer? If he is really an Astral healer, he would be easily recruited by any powerful organization in this purple stone world.'' Princess Daphne continued to think about Ajax origins; however, she was unable to guess it. In the end, she just shook her head and decided to stop thinking much about Ajax and looked at her grandpa Lin. ''Cough..cough'' After a few minutes, the old man finally coughed a little before opening his eyes. "Grandpa Lin" Seeing that, Princess Daphne could not help but cry as she didn''t know what she would have done if her grandpa had died. Even though he was not her real grandpa, to her, he was much more than that. ''Ding, 9 units of Sacred Astral Energy are consumed. ''Ding, The host''s Sacred Astral Space increased by 9 units and reached 660 units. ''Ding, Remaining Sacred Astral Energy:- 340 units. As for Ajax, he received a series of system notifications in his head. ''My Sacred Astral Energy is getting decreased, I need to find a way to increase my Sacred Energy.'' Even though Ajax didn''t mind spending some units of Sacred Astral Energy, he knew that the remaining units of the Sacred Astral Energy won''tst for him much longer. Moreover, he decided to be a high-level Sacred Astral Healer. For that, he needed to spend more, which meant he had to fill his Sacred Astral Space. "Silly girl, don''t cry." Old man Lin lightly patted Princess Daphne''s head as he suddenly thought about something and asked, "Princess Daphne, it is not safe to stay here. Let''s go before those royal shadows catch up to us." "Grandpa Lin, a mysterious expert, has killed them all. So, we are not moving until you rest a bit." Soon, Princess Daphne exined how all the royal shadows were dead in a sh and how Ajax healed him. "Are you telling me that he is an Astral healer?" Just like Princess Daphne, the old man was also shocked as he looked at Ajax in a new light. "Hey, stop looking at me as though I am some kind of monster and follow me. I know a good resting ce." Ajax shook his head as he asked them to follow him. Chapter 1204 - Anxious Ancestor Even though Ajax had killed a dozen royal shadows, he didn''t know how many more woulde. So, before he left Princess Daphne and the old man Li to enter the Never-returning cave, he wanted to keep them in a safe ce where they could rest until the old man recovered his strength. ''Moreover, with the speed of the mutated spirit crane, they will not have any difficulty in escaping from the powerful foes.'' Ajax didn''t want anything to happen to Princess Daphne and at the same time, he could not stay with Princess Daphne all the time to protect her from her problems all the time. Soon, Ajax took them to the middle section of the cursed wilderness as Princess Daphne and the old man Li, silently followed, wondering where Ajax was taking them to. "I know you are here, Uncle Ceru." After entering a little deeper into the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax spoke in a calm tone; however, it resounded in the middle section and soon, a silhouette appeared in front of Ajax. "Young master Ajax, do you need me for something?" The silhouette belonged to a middle-aged man who respectfully asked Ajax whether he wanted something from him. In general, the middle section of the cursed wilderness was ruled by Geron, Keshe'' father; however, he was currently receiving special training from the King of the inner section of the cursed wilderness along with Gaimont. So, currently, it was looked after by Ceru, the loyal follower of Geron, the fairy king. "Uncle Ceru, how are Sister Kesha and Brave?" Ajax didn''t directly mention what he needed; instead, he asked about Keshe and Brave whom he healed after their re-cultivation process went south. Nevertheless, in the end, the re-cultivation was a sess and they continued focusing on increasing their strength to break through into the King realm. "They are doing fine thanks to young master Ajax. They even awakened their own bestialw and they are one step closer to bing the King realm experts." Ceru revealed an excited smile on his face as he replied to Ajax while thanking him. "It is because of their own talent." Ajax remained modest as he came to the main business, "Can you protect them until they recover their strength?" "Huh?" Ceru was observing Princess Daphne and the old man Li, who looked tired and weak before nodding his head, "Of course, it is the least thing we could do for the young master." Because of Ajax, Geron and the middle section of the cursed wilderness grew a little power and what''s more, Ajax had saved Keshe and Brave. So, Ceru was more than happy to help Ajax. "Thank you. I will definitely help you in the future." Sooner orter, the entire Cursed wilderness wille under his control. So, Ajax knew he could help Geron''s territory a lot in theing days. "Princess Daphne, I will take my leave as I have something urgent to do." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax didn''t stay back as he directly moved deeper into the middle section of the cursed wilderness as the never returning cave was along the borderline of the middle section and inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Who is he?'' This was the only thought in Princess Daphne after hearing the conversation between Ajax and Ceru. Princess Daphne could see that Ceru was actually a spirit beast, in fact, a powerful spirit beast. However, that powerful spirit beast was very respectful to Ajax and even called him ''Young master''. To her, Ajax was always a mystery. Just when she thought she was getting to know Ajax better, the more mysterious Ajax was bing to her. "Let''s go." Nevertheless, she knew only headache woulde from thinking about Ajax and quietly followed behind Ceru to rest until she and her grandfather recovered their strength. Other than the three of them, a mutated spirit crane also followed them while keeping a lookout for their surroundings. ... Inside the never returning cave. The never returning cave is only essible to the selected few and among those selected few, only those who cleared the basic trial in the cave could use the other functions of the cave. "Sir Zanath, I want to enter the Bloodline training grounds." As soon as he entered the never returning cave, Ajax called the half human-half demon about his purpose of visit. "100 high-level heaven grade weapons." The handsome demon appeared in front of Ajax and asked for the payment to enter the Bloodline training grounds, which Ajax paid without any hesitation. ''With this, all the high-level heaven grade weapons on me are finished.'' Ajax shook his head for a moment; however, when he thought about the weapons he would get after going back to the grey dwarf world the next time, he felt relieved. "Let''s see how long you will stay this time." With a slight smile, Zanath waved his hand and sent Ajax into the mysterious training zone. ''Time to increase all my bloodline to level 3.'' This time, Ajax had set a goal for himself and it was increasing the levels of all three of his bloodline to level 3. Soon, Ajax appeared in the familiar woods and continued his hunt to increase the normal bloodline points. .... Somewhere in a dark room. "So, there is an event in the Ylercester province and the chief guest was none other than the Emperor of the Purple stone world? Are you sure about it?" An old man in ck robes that perfectly integrated into the darkroom, asked a middle-aged man. "Yes, ancestor." The middle-aged man nodded his head respectfully with slight fear while looking at the old man. The old man was the same ancestor who gave the orders for the massacre in the Silver Orphanage. Currently, he was no longer interested in Ajax because he got some bigger things to worry about as he got to know something that made anxiously. "What should I do? If he is alive, then it is over for us." The ancestor waspletely in despair as he didn''t know what to do now after learning the truth about the emperor of the purple stone world. Chapter 1205 - Assassin God? ''Calm down¡­calm down.'' The old ancestor tried to calm himself down as he thought of something. ''Should I contact others? Even if they are alive, I don''t think they will be in any position to go against the emperor and that bastard ''Protector of the skies''.'' ''Should I just hide and recover my strength?'' ''Damn it¡­there is not a single option for me to escape from the emperor.'' The usual arrogant ancestor was no longer arrogant as he knew that he would die if the emperor of the purple stone world who was supposed to be dead was still alive. The middle-aged man who was standing in front of the cross-legged ancestor was shocked when he saw how frustrated and anxious his ancestor looked right now. ''Why is he getting anxious? Are his past injuries acting up again?'' Other than guessing why his ancestor was acting like that after hearing about the contest in the Ylercester province. ''Whatever, if I try to pry too much into his life, nothing better wille out of it.'' As a person who knew more or less about the ancestor, the middle-aged man knew when to remain silent and when to ask questions. So, he remained silent and waited for the ancestor to speak. ''Wait a second. Should I use that item?'' All of a sudden, the ancestor thought of something and without wasting any time, he looked at the middle-aged man before asking, "How long will it take you to gather young men with elite general realm cultivation?" "May I know the reason for the gathering? If I were to gather the young men in our sect, it would not even take an hour; however, if we were to gather the young men from outside, it would take a while." The middle-aged man could more or less guess the reason behind the ancestor''s request; however, he was not ready to send the young men from his sect to thier deaths knowingly. So, he was hinting ancestor that he would gather the young men from the outside. ''This bastard. He was clearly shaking while saying those words; however, he has yet to reach the stage where sacrificing your own to be stronger.'' When he heard the? middle-aged man''s words, Ancestor cursed him; however, he suppressed his anger as he continued thinking, ''If I push him too much, it would only backfire on me as he was the only one that has power and listens to him.'' With that thought in his mind, the ancestor took a deep breath before saying, "Just gather 100 young men with a minimum cultivation of level 1 elite general or higher as soon as possible. I am going to sacrifice them to summon the Assassin god." "Summoning the assassin god? Are there really gods in this world?" The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the ancestors wods as he asked after some hesitation. "Little brat, just because your hair turned grey doesn''t make you old enough to know the secrets of the worlds and universe. For now, just follow my orders and one day you will be a cultivator that even the emperor realm cultivators could shiver just from hearing your name." The ancestor knew who to make use of the others and he intentionally didn''t say more things because he himself knew only a few things and if he said everything in one go, the middle-aged man would start doubting his ability in the future. So, giving as little information is the only possible way for him to make that middle-aged man listen to his order. "Sorry, Ancestor. I was just curious and crossed the line." The middle-aged man hurriedly apologized as he knew he was asking for too much. "No problem. Now, go andplete the mission I gave you." Ancestor scoffed at the middle-aged man before sending out of the room. ''This bastard¡­I wonder what his face would look like if he ever found out that I didn''t even be an emperor realm expert in my life.'' Ancestor continued to scoff at the departing figure of the middle-aged man as he started nning his future. ''As long as I? sacrifice 100 young men and chant the spell, I might hopefully summon the assassin god. If it goes well, he might bless me with something that might help me recover my injuries and get a new body.'' Ancestor had never even tried that method before; however, in his current situation, if he didn''t do anything, he would be killed by the Emperor of the purple stone world sooner orter. So, he wanted to try everything he could. Even if it means following the demonic path which was not his first time walking on it. ¡­. ''Even though there is an assassin god statue in the sect, I never thought there would be a real assassin god.'' Aftering out of the dark room, the middle aged man muttered to himself as he looked at the ck staute in the distance. The assassin sect used this so-called assassini got statute to make everyone loyal to the sect to the end of their lives. Once they bow to the statue, they live for the sect and die for the sect. ''If not for my bloodline that can stop the hypnotised effect from the statue, I would have also be a mindless puppet for the sect.'' The middle aged man shuddered when he thought about it and continued thinking, ''Thinking back, that is the reason why the ancestor revealed all the secrets to be the sect master. However, the bastards that were sleeping in the underground would not let me make any important decisions regarding the sect by myself and also make me know my ce.'' ''That is the reason why I seek power to show those old bastards that I am not the one to be pushed to the edge.'' Clenching his fists, the middle-aged man left from that ce and made himself busy with the mission he received from the ancestor. ¡­. In the Bloodline training grounds. ''Damn it¡­why the hell is this huge bird appeared above me again?'' Chapter 1206 - Challenge The Guardians ''Damn it¡­why the hell is this huge bird appearing above me again?'' Looking at the huge bird in the sky, Ajax cursed it as he thought of his previous interaction with that bird. Thest time when he entered the bloodline training grounds, he was killed by the huge bird even with his skill ''Emergency ghost''. He also knew that even with his recent breakthroughs in his cultivation, he could not injure it much less kill it. So, he tried his best to hide from the huge bird and waited until it left. ''Phew¡­finally, it is gone.'' Even though the death in the training grounds was not real, Ajax was not ready to die just after entering the training grounds because dying would only make him wait for another month. ''Since one day in the outside world is equivalent to 10 days in the training grounds, I have more than 250 days to umte the normal bloodline points.'' After learning about the contest in the Ylercester province, of course, Ajax wanted to go there because it was the contest that all the geniuses from the entire purple stone world would be gathering. Moreover, Ajax was always interested in venturing to other provinces and fighting other summoners who were from the same worlds. ''I hope the summoners from other provinces don''t look down just because I am from the lower province.'' Thest time he met a few summoners from the Ylercester province, except for Levi, others were a little arrogant. If not for Levi, they would be even more proud and didn''t even look at Ajax. Compared to Ylercester province, there was another province that was Xacaster province that was the only high-level provincepared to Ylercester province. So, it was natural for the genius from that province to look down on him even more. So, Ajax hoped the geniuses should be like Levi who should not look down on others just because of the province they came from. If possible, it was better to help him just like how Levi helped Ajax in the dimensional crevice. ''Anyway, let''s focus on the present.'' Soon, Ajax started hunting the unique spirit beasts that were limited to the Bloodline training grounds. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and in a sh 20 days passed in the outside world; however, it was 200 days in the bloodline training grounds. ''Ding, The host killed ten rank 6 spirit beasts and gained 1000 normal bloodline points. ''Ding, The host killed a special rank 6 spirit beasts and gained 1000 normal bloodline points. ''Ding, The host''s normal bloodline points:- 98000. ''Just 12000 more bloodline points and upgrade my Abyssal beast god bloodline to level 3.'' Looking at the total number of normal bloodline points that he umted for thest 200 days in the bloodline training grounds, Ajax revealed a satisfied look on his face. Currently, Ajax has three bloodlines and among them, two bloodlines have already reached level 2; however, his main bloodline was still at level 1. So, without any hesitation, Ajax decided to focus on the level 1 Abyssal beast god bloodline as it would increase the battle prowess of him and his summons a lot. ''If I could have summoned my summons, I would have directly upgraded my bloodline to level 2 here itself; however, I will wait and upgrade the bloodline two times in a row.'' Since Ajax didn''t have any problems with dealing any spirit beasts except for the huge bird in the bloodline training grounds, he didn''t want to upgrade his Abyssal beast god bloodline to level 2 right now; instead, he decided to wait until he had enough bloodline point to upgrade it to level 3. So, he continued his umtion of the bloodline points. ''sh'' ''Ding, The host killed a rank 6 spirit beast and gained nothing. ''Huh?'' After increasing another 1000 or more normal bloodline points, he stopped getting any bloodline points even after killing a rank 6 spirit beasts, making Ajax frown. Nevertheless, he searched for a special rank 6 spirit beasts and killed it. ''Ding, The host killed a special rank 6 spirit beast and gained nothing. ''Damn it.'' ''Why am I not getting any bloodline points? Is it because I already received so many bloodline points or what?'' Ajax didn''t understand what was wrong and looked at the sky before shouting, "Hey, old man, I can''t absorb the energy from these beasts anymore; however, I can''t kill that huge bird also. Help me here." So, he could only ask the owner of the bloodline training grounds about it. ''Swoosh'' Just as he finished his words, an old man appeared in front of Ajax and observed Ajax keenly. ''Huh? There is nothing wrong with him, why can''t he absorb the energy from the normal spirit beasts? Did he reach his limit already?'' The old man was surprised when he heard Ajax''s words. So, he came here for himself to check on Ajax and found out nothing was wrong with Ajax''s body. "Kill this spirit beast and let me see." With a thought, the old man summoned a normal spirit beast and asked Ajax to kill it. ''sh'' With his inheritance sword, Ajax shed it into two. ''Huh? The faint bloodline energy is not entering into his body; instead, it is absorbed by that thing.'' The old man was surprised for a moment before summoning another rank 6 spirit beast; however, it was a special one that had more battle prowess than a normal rank 6 spirit beast. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before nodding his head as he had nothing to lose anyway. ''sh'' Just like before Ajax killed it; however, he used his full power to kill it and he still gained nothing. ''Looks like he had already gained a lot of bloodline energy. How is his efficiency in absorbing the bloodline energy so high?'' The old man looked at Ajax with surprised eyes before saying, "Congrattions young man. You have met the requirements to challenge the normal guardians of this ''training grounds''. Do you want to challenge them?" **** Chapter 1207 - Challenging The First Guardian "Do you want to challenge the normal guardians of this ''training grounds''?" The old man asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. Even though there was a smile on his face, deep down the old man was still unable to believe that the young man in front of him had already reached the limit of his training grounds. From the time he had established this ''training grounds'', the old man had never seen anyone reach the ''Limit'' within such a short time. ''Looks like his chances of clearing this ''training grounds'' in a couple of decades are very high.'' However, other than that shock, the old man was looking forward to Ajax and waited for Ajax to clear his ''training grounds''. "Challenging the guardians of this ''training grounds''?" Ajax was surprised for a moment and felt excited to challenge the normal guardians; however, when he thought about something, Ajax felt a slight fear. "Huh? What happened? Is something wrong?" As the owner of the training grounds, the old man was invincible in the training grounds and he was sensitive to every minute detail. So, when he sensed that Ajax was hesitating and showing the sign of slight fear, he asked Ajax what was bothering him. "How can I fight the guardians like that?" Ajax pointed at the sky and asked the old man with a bitter smile on his face. In the sky, there was a huge bird that seemed to be following him wherever he went in the training grounds and shook his head. ''Huh? Don''t tell me you were killed by that one in your previous visit?'' The old man asked with a surprised look on his face. "Yes¡­I presume that is one of the guardians of this training grounds, right?" Ajax nodded his head as he asked the old man about the huge bird in the sky. Since the huge bird was very strong, Ajax guessed it might be one of the guardians of the training grounds. Even though he had not seen the other guardians of the training grounds, Ajax could tell that they have more or less the same strength and currently, he didn''t have the strength to go against them. "Haha¡­looks like your luck is really bad." Hearing Ajax''s words, the old man could not help butugh out loud as he replied, "That''s right. It is the guardian of the training ground." "However, you don''t have to worry because that is the only strongest guardian in the training grounds and you will be challenging it for thest. Until then, it will not kill you, much less attack you." The old man could feel that Ajax needed to be exined some things because generally those who enter the bloodline training grounds would rarely be killed by the guardians unless they were challenged. However, Ajax''s luck was so bad that he met the strongest guardian of the training grounds and once a guardian killed the trainers, it would follow the trainer whenever they entered the training grounds until it was challenged. "What? It will not attack me?" Ajax was shocked by the sudden revtion as he didn''t expect that. ''Damn it¡­because of that huge bird, my killing efficiency had decreased quite a bit. If not for that bird, I would have reached my so-called ''Limit'' 100 days earlier.'' That''s right! Because of the huge bird, Ajax hid and waited until the bird disappeared from his surroundings. Only after it left, he would resume his hunting for the bloodline points. As for the old man, he was busy with other things and didn''t notice his training grounds and if he noticed that, he would have been shocked with how soon Ajax would have reached his limit if not for the huge bird. "Yes. It will not kill a trainer a second time unless it was challenged. Not only that huge bird, but all the other guardian beasts were also the same when ites to trainers." The old man replied to Ajax with a slight smile on his face as he continued, "So, will you challenge the guardians now? If you don''t want to challenge them, you will not get the bloodline energy in my training grounds anymore." ''I need the bloodline points. Looks like I need to test the strength of the guardian spirit beasts. Even if I get killed, I can get a rough understanding of how strong these so-called guardian spirit beasts are.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax nodded his head at the old man before saying, "So, how many guardian spirit beasts are there in this training grounds." "Other than the huge bird you see in the sky, there are 10 more guardian spirit beasts which have the? minimum cultivation of a low-level king realm." Once Ajax asked about the guardian spirit beasts of the training grounds, the old man started exining about them as he continued, "And the tenth guardian spirit beast is invincible in the King realm." ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows when he heard the cultivations of the guardian spirit beasts for a moment before asking, "Then are you telling me that the huge bird in the sky is an emperor realm spirit beast?" Since the huge bird in the sky was the strongest guardian of the training grounds, Ajax understood the rough cultivation of the huge bird. "That''s right!" The old man nodded his head as he continued saying, "Also, after defeating a guardian spirit beast, you can once again absorb the bloodline energy from killing the normal spirit beasts in the training grounds." "Good." Finally, Ajax felt better when he heard those words because he didn''t have to defeat all the guardian spirit beasts; instead, he just had to defeat one before increasing the bloodline points by killing the regr spirit beasts. "Old man, let''s start the challenge with the weakest guardian." Ajax clenched his fists as he thought about how many bloodline points a guardian spirit beast would give upon killing it. "Sure" With a wave of his hands, the old man summoned a huge spirit beast that roared at Ajax the moment it appeared in front of him. **** KingRig, thanks for the DRAGON. Chapter 1208 - Single Slash The guardian spirit beast that appeared in front of Ajax was none other than a huge wolf with a sharp horn protruding through its skull making the huge wolf very powerful. The fur of the wolf was ash colour and just from a look, anyone could tell that the huge wolf was very powerful. ''Roar'' It roared at Ajax continuously, making him frown for a moment; however, he didn''t care much about it and waited for the old man to announce the start of the challenge. "ording to the rules, if a participant has less than level 5 elite general realm cultivation, then he just needs to break the horn of the Horned wolf king." After he summoned the first guardian spirit beast, the horned wolf king, the old man started exining the rules of the challenge. "However, if you can kill it, you will get more rewards and benefits. So, try your best in killing the guardian spirit beast. Now, the first challenge of the participant Ajax has officially started." As soon as he finished his words, the old man disappeared from his ce and settled in the sky to observe the fight between Ajax and the guardian spirit beast. ''Roar'' Just as the old man disappeared, the Horned wolf king didn''t stand still; instead, it jumped at Ajax at an incredible speed. ''Let''s see how powerful this so-called guardian spirit beast is.'' Ajax had confidence that he could kill the regr low-level king realm experts without any problem; however, if the Horned wolf king was not a regr spirit beast, then he could only try his best to get the horn. ''Teleport'' Before the horned wolf king''s ws could touch Ajax, he used the ''Teleport'' to dodge the attack and without giving any time for the wolf king to make the second attack, Ajax used ''Spatial des''. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''sh'' He used a high number of the essence of nature while using the skills because he was fighting against a king realm spirit beast without his elemental spirit or the contracted spirit beasts. So, he thought to use his full powers without wasting any time. All those spatial des only made slight cuts on the body of the king realm spirit beast, giving Ajax some hope. ''Looks like it is a little more powerful than the regr low-level king realm spirit beasts. I think I can go for the kill.'' Even though his powerful spatial des only made the cuts on the Horned wolf king, Ajax felt he could take down the spirit beast as long as he put the efforts into it. ''sh'' ''Aargh'' However, before Ajax could use his next attack, the Horned wolf king didn''t give any time before shing at Ajax and Ajax was in a position where he was unable to dodge the attack. So, he tried his best to minimize the fatality of the attack. ''Cough¡­looks like you excel in speed.'' Finally, Ajax understood something as he looked at the Horned wolf king which seemed to beughing in joy at the cut on Ajax''s chest. ''Your speed and attack power is good. But your defence is very weak¡­Haha.'' Even though the injury on his chest was a little severe, because of his ''Basic recovery'' ability that Ajax got for bing a Sacred Astral healer, it was stabilized in no time and the wound was slowly closing in. ''This ability is good.'' Ajax felt he could use this ability to its best only when he was injured; however, from the time he got the skill, Ajax was barely injured. ''Huh? His healing speed is good for an elite general brat.'' From the sky, the old man was surprised for a moment when he saw how fast the injury on Ajax''s chest healed. "Let''s finish this match as I need the bloodline energy." ording to the owner of these training grounds, it was bloodline energy; however, the system converted into normal bloodline points that could be converted into whatever bloodline points he wanted. Since he already found the weakness of his opponent, Ajax didn''t waste any time before teleporting to its back. "Inheritance sword" "Grade 5 sword dao." Without any hesitation, Ajax swung the heavy sword at the back of the horned wolf king. Because this attack frombing the inheritance sword and the grade 5 sword dao was so powerful that even the low-level king realm cultivators would not dare to face it head on. ''sh'' ''Thud'' Just a single sh and Ajax made the powerful-looking first guardian spirit beasts, the Horned wolf king into two. ''What?'' The old man was shocked to the core when he saw Ajax''s simple sh could take down the horned wolf king just lke that. ''How did he learn the grade 5 sword dao at such a young age? Even the youngsters from the greater world struggle to reach grade 4 before the age of 20. He is definitely a monster.'' The old man looked at Ajax as though he was looking at a monster. ''Should I directly recruit it? Or should I continue testing him?'' Soon, the old man fell into a dilemma as many thoughts shed into his head. ''At his current strength, he could directly be the outer members of my organization; however, if he could kill more guardian spirit beasts, his rank might be increased in my organization even more.'' ''As the one who found this gem in a normal world in the corner of the cluster, I can be promoted to the vice-captain rank for sure.'' The old man felt that Ajax was the ticket for his rise in his organization; however, whether Ajax could ept his invitation to join his organization or not, the old man didn''t even bother to think about it. Because he was very sure that once he exined his origins, even a young man from a greater world would have a hard time in rejecting his invitation, much less a young man from the normal world. ''Looks like initial evaluation of him right, I think it will only take around 5 years for him to clear the training grounds. At that time, I will make sure to pay back tenfold to those who looked down on me and abused their power to bully me.'' The old man was having his own ns as he looked forward to seeing Ajax''s progress. Chapter 1209 - More And More Bloodline Points On the ground, Ajax didn''t know about the old man''s thoughts as he was currently looking at the disappearing corpse of the horned wolf king. Just like any other spirit beasts'' corpse, this corpse also turned into light dots before entering into the host''s body. ''Ding, The host killed a low-level king realm spirit beast ''Horned wolf king''. ''Ding, Dense bloodline energy is entering the host''s body. Please absorb them with focus in order not to miss any light dot. Even though the system didn''t give any additional rewards, Ajax was not expecting anything from it. Because he was interested in the bloodline points. As soon as Ajax saw the system notifications, he didn''t waste any time as he directly sat down before absorbing all the light dots into his body. ''Ding, +100 normal bloodline points are gained. ''Ding, +200 normal bloodline points are gained. ''Ding, +300 normal bloodline points are gained. . . . ''Ding, +1000 normal bloodline points are gained. Soon, the system notifications started resounding in his head and with each passing second, the number of bloodline points he gained doubled, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''What is this? It is not stopping.'' The number of bloodline points stopped doubling after it reached 1000 points; however, the system notifications continued to ring in his head and for each second he got 1000 normal bloodline points. ''Ding, The host can''t absorb any more normal bloodline points. Please convert them into the respective bloodline points before absorbing more. Within no time, the normal bloodline points in his ount umted 100000 bloodline points which were enough for Ajax to upgrade a level 1 bloodline to level 3. ''Convert them into the abyssal beast god bloodline points.'' That system notification made Ajax raise his brows; however, he didn''t think much before converting the 100000 normal bloodline points into the abyssal beast god bloodline points. ''Ding, Converting 100000 normal bloodline points into 1000 abyssal beast god bloodline points. ''Ding, Sessfully converted the bloodlines. ''Ding, The host has enough normal bloodline points for him to upgrade the Abyssal beast god bloodline to level 2. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade it? ''Nope. I don''t want to upgrade it yet.'' However, Ajax didn''t have any ns to upgrade it because he wanted to continue pushing himself without upgrading the bloodline. Nevertheless, he could always upgrade it within no time if he ever really needed it or when he was in some kind of danger. ''Ding, +1000 normal bloodline points are gained. After he converted the bloodline points, once again the flow of bloodline energy entered into his body and gave him another three thousand normal points. ''Looks like this is the limit of a guardian spirit beast.'' Ajax opened his eyes as he stood up from the ground before checking the remaining normal bloodline points in his ount. ''Ding, Normal bloodline points:- 13000. ''It gave a total of 15000 normal bloodline points. It is ten times more than killing a special peak rank 6 spirit beast.'' Ajax was satisfied with the number of normal bloodline points. ''Anyway, I still have around 50 days before going out of this training grounds. I think I better umte as many bloodline points as possible.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax did''t bother wasting his time and started looking for the spirit beasts. ording to the owner of the bloodline training grounds, once a guardian spirit beast was killed, he could absorb the bloodline energy once again. So, Ajax wanted to reach the next limit as soon as possible. ''sh'' ''Ding, The host killed a rank 4 spirit beast and gained one normal bloodline point. To test that theory, Ajax killed a rank 4 spirit beast that appeared in front of him and once he received the bloodline point from it, he started looking for the stronger spirit beasts. The stronger the spirit beast was, the more normal bloodline points it would give him. ''Since I can no longer fear the huge bird in the sky, I will not waste any time hiding from it.'' Ajax had one less thing to worry about now as the old man had already said that the huge bird would not kill him again; instead, it would just follow him and observe him from the sky. ''Time to utilize the remaining time to the best.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax once again started his massacre of the spirit beasts to get the bloodline points. ¡­. In the sky, ''This brat¡­how did he absorb all the bloodline energy from the guardian spirit beast in such a short time?'' The old man, who was observing Ajax from the sky, was shocked when he saw how fast and efficient Ajax was with the absorption of the bloodline energy. ''I need to make him enter my organization at any cost.'' The old man was very much determined when he looked at Ajax who was searching for the spirit beasts. ''He is wasting too much in finding the spirit beasts. I will slightly change the rules for him.'' The old man wanted to see Ajax fight more guardian spirit beasts; however, Ajax seemed to be not interested in challenging the guardian spirit beasts. So, the old man could only send more spirit beasts towards Ajax while trying to save Ajax''s time as much as possible. ''Since he is very efficient in absorbing the bloodline energy, I think it will not take much time before he once again reaches his limit.'' The old man sent all the powerful spirit beasts in the training grounds towards Ajax as it was the only way to challenge guardian spirit beasts. ¡­. "Roar" On the ground, Ajax could hear all kinds of spirit beast roars. ''Huh? What happened to these spirit beasts all of a sudden?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the number of spirit beasts that wasing towards him increase all of a sudden. ''Let it be¡­it will be better if more spirit beastse to me as it will save a lot of time.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was excited with the sudden increase in the number of spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds. Chapter 1210 - Level 3 Abyssal Beastgod Bloodline The more spirit beasts rushed towards him in the bloodline training grounds, the better it was for Ajax as he wanted more normal bloodline points. Even though the number of normal bloodline points he umted seemed huge, when they were converted into specific bloodline points, then it would be very small. Moreover, with each upgrade in his bloodline, the number of bloodline points will increase by 10 times. So, upgrading the bloodline is a bottomless pit for him as the number of bloodline points he required would be not enough. Time continued to pass and 10 days in the bloodline training grounds passed by in a sh. ''Ding, The host killed ten special peak rank 6 spirit beasts. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 normal bloodline points. ''Ding, The host killed a rank 6 spirit beast and no bloodline points were gained. Finally, Ajax got a system notification that made him stop his massacre as he knew he had reached the limit. If he wanted to absorb more bloodline points, then he had to challenge another guardian spirit beast. ''I will take a break before challenging the guardian spirit beast.'' Ajax didn''t hurry to challenge the guardian spirit beast because he was tired after fighting for thest five days without any rest. As for the spirit beasts, once he reached the limit, no spirit beast attacked him and left him alone. ''Ding, Convert all the normal bloodline points into Abyssal beast god bloodline. While taking a rest, Ajax ordered the system to convert the bloodline points. ''Ding, All normal bloodline points are converted into abyssal beast god bloodline. ''Ding, Abyssal beast god bloodline points:- 2000 points. ''With this many bloodline points, I can upgrade the abyssal beast god bloodline to level 3. I think it requires 10000 abyssal beast god bloodline points to upgrade it to level 4.'' Ajax was tempted to upgrade the bloodline to see how many bloodline points he required to upgrade it. ''So be it. I will just upgrade it.'' Finally, after thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to upgrade it while he rested. Ajax felt his blood was heating up when the bloodline was upgrading; however, he remained calm and let the system take care of the upgrading. ''Ding, 100 abyssal beast god bloodline points are consumed. ''Ding, The abyssal beast god bloodline upgraded to level 2. ''Ding, 1000 abyssal beast god bloodline points are consumed. ''Ding, The abyssal beast god bloodline upgraded to level 3. Please check the effects of the bloodline. It only took ten minutes for the bloodline to upgrade to level 3 and other than the boiling blood in his body, Ajax didn''t feel any pain. ''Time to check the effects of the bloodline.'' Ajax had high hopes for the abyssal beast god bloodline and he had a special connection with it because it was his bloodline that came after merging the abyssal bloodline and the beast god bloodline. ''Speaking of bloodline merging, I have to find some good bloodline to merge with my other two bloodlines.'' Because of his bloodline management tab, Ajax wanted to merge the two other level 2 bloodlines in his body; however, theirpatibility was very low and the chances of failure were very high. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Abyssal beast god bloodline (Level 3). Effect:- Increases the battle prowess of the host along with his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits by five times for one hour. Special effect:- When the bloodline is activated, the user can forcefully form a contract with any spirit beast and the elemental spirit. While Ajax was thinking of gaining some new bloodlines, the information about the Abyssal beast god bloodline appeared in front of him. ''Five times increment in battle prowess? And the effectsts for one hour?'' Ajax was surprised with the effect and greatly excited to test the bloodline. ''Also, a special effect?'' However, his excitement turned into a shock when he saw the special effect of the bloodline. ''Forceful taming?'' Ajax never thought the Abyssal beast god bloodline would have such a powerful effect and he decided to test this effect soon. ''I know where I should use this special effect.'' Moreover, Ajax already noted down a ce where he had to use this special effect and it was none other than the elemental spirit world that was under the control of the Undead bronze demon king. ''If a level 3 bloodline gives a special effect, then I wonder what special effects the other two bloodlines will give him after upgrading them to level 3.'' Ajax was curious about the other two bloodlines; however, he had already nned something and it was to upgrade the abyssal beast god bloodline to level 4 because he was curious about how powerful it would be after upgrading. ''System, how many bloodline points do I need to upgrade this abyssal beast god bloodline to level 4.'' Ajax asked the system about it hoping the system would give an answer to his question. ''Ding, The host needs 10000 abyssal beast god bloodline points to upgrade it to level 4. As he expected, the next upgrade required him ten times more bloodline points than what he required to upgrade a bloodline to level 3. ''Currently, I have only 900 abyssal beast god bloodline points. It will take a lot of time for me to upgrade it.'' Ajax knew it would take quite a lot of time and he didn''t have ns to upgrade the other two bloodlines even though he could do it in a short time. ''I will only focus on the abyssal beast god bloodline. As long as I have a level 4 bloodline, then I can easily hunt the aqua dragons in the real world.'' The higher his bloodline level was, the more powerful he would be because despite having the low cultivation. ''Also, there might be a change in the current special effect or even new special effects are possible. So, even if it takes a long time, I need to focus on it.'' Ajax was determined as he stood up to challenge the second guardian spirit beast. Chapter 1211 - Challenging The Multiple Guardian Spirit Beasts At Once "I want to challenge the second guardian spirit beast." Ajax looked at the sky and shouted because he knew that the old man was watching him. "Swoosh" Just as he shouted, the old man appeared in front of Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "Young man, I have a nice deal for you. Do you want to hear it?" Instead of starting the new challenge, the old man asked Ajax about some kind of deal, making Ajax a little curious. "Sure." Since the old man was the master of the bloodline training grounds and has unknown cultivation, Ajax wanted to hear about the deal. If it was beneficial to him, he would ept the deal and if it is not, then he would, of course, reject it without any hesitation. "I think you are in need of the Bloodline energy, right?" Seeing that Ajax was willing to listen to his words, the old man continued speaking, "Instead of challenging the guardian spirit beasts one by one, you can challenge multiple guardian spirit beasts at once to increase the amount of the bloodline energy." "Huh? Like?" Ajax'' interest was piqued as he asked about it. "Let''s say you challenge the second and third guardian spirit beasts at once, you will get three times the bloodline energy of whatever you get from killing them." "And if it was three guardian spirit beasts, then your reward will be increased by five times and for four, it will be a whopping 10 times. So, what do you say?" The old man exined in a slow and detailed way, in order to tempt Ajax with the reward. "What? 10 times?" As expected, Ajax was shocked at first and tempted to challenge the four guardian spirit beasts at once. However, deep down, he knew that it would be very difficult and chances of him losing were very high. "So, what do you say? Are you interested in it?" Seeing that Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the old man asked with a suppressed anxiousness. For the old man, all he wanted to know was the battle prowess of Ajax. So, he was eager for Ajax''s reply. "What is the strength of the fifth guardian spirit beast?" Ajax was not in a hurry to ept the old man''s deal because if he died now, he would be wasting 45 days of his hunting in the training grounds. "It is mid-level King realm and before him, all the guardian spirit beasts have only low-level King realm strength." The old man didn''t want to fool Ajax because he didn''t want to fall into Ajax'' bad side as it would affect him when he recruited him into his organizationter on. "Mid-level King realm?" Ajax raised his brows and felt it was much safer for him to only challenge the second, third and fourth guardian spirit beasts as he was very confident in defeating three low-level king realm spirit beasts after upgrading his bloodline to level 3. ''But the reward will be 10x if I challenge the fifth guardian spirit beast also.'' However, the greedy side of Ajax wanted him to just ept the challenge for four guardian spirit beasts at once. If he wins, he would get a lot of normal bloodline points and if he loses the challenge, he would be losing 45 days of training in the bloodline training grounds. ''So be it. I should challenge the strongest opponents to truly bring out my full battle prowess.'' Since he could not summon his elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds, Ajax felt the training grounds is the right ce to experience the life and death situation. Even if he died in the bloodline training grounds, he would not be dying in the real world, Ajax would be losing some good rewards. So, Ajax stopped thinking about other things and directly decided to fight the next four guardian spirit beasts at once. "I want to fight the four guardian spirit beasts at once. However, I need to know something beforehand." Ajax epted the old man''s deal while asking a question, "If I killed all four guardian spirit beasts, what would be the limit for me to get the bloodline energy from killing the normal spirit beasts?" Even though Ajax was tempted by the multiplier reward, if his limit after killing the four guardian spirit beasts didn''t increase, then it would be a loss for him. So, he wanted to get rity on it before finalizing his decision. "Of course, your limit will be increased and you can kill the 10 times of your regr limit after defeating a guardian spirit beast." The old man knew Ajax was greedy for bloodline energy. So, he was magnanimous as he directly increased the rewards. "Good. Then I will challenge the four guardian spirit beasts at once." Since the rewards were so high, Ajax was willing to take the risk and even if lost the battle, then he would have no regrets. "Also, if you really win the fight against the four guardian spirit beasts, I will give you an additional gift. So, I am looking forward to your fight." The old man even added another reward, making the greedy Ajax even more determined to win the fight against the four guardian spirit beasts. "So, it is time to fight." The old man waved his hand just like the previous time and four lights shed around Ajax with 10 meters of the gap from Ajax. "By the way, I forgot to mention something, unlike the first guardian spirit beast, these four guardian spirit beasts will use their bestial souls. So, keep an eye for them." As soon as he finished his words, the old man disappeared without a trace. Of course, he settled in his ce in the sky and watched Ajax from above. "I know. That''s the reason why I hesitated to give you a reply earlier." Ajax scoffed at the disappeared old man before looking at the four powerful-looking spirit beasts around him. Chapter 1212 - Swamp Lizard King Ajax slowly looked at the four guardian spirit beasts around him that were waiting to attack him at any time. "Young man, I will give you the basic introduction of all four guardians before the challenge officially begins." From the sky, Ajax heard the old man''s words and he got to know the names and their guardian rank from the old man. Swamp lizard king, the second guardian spirit beast was a humanoid spirit beast three meters in height. Long mouth, sharp teeth, body full of hard scales and a long tail. Storm wyvern, the third guardian spirit beast flying in the air with a huge wingspan of around 10-12 meters. Overall, it looked just like his twilight. If it was not for its low-level king realm cultivation, it was not worthparing with Ajax''s divine dragon which was yet to be a King realm spirit beast. Tailed vampire dryad, a humanoid spirit beast that looked like a walking tree with a woman figure. It had a long branch that was simr to a scorpion sting tail. Finally, Chaos lynx, the fifth guardian spirit beast with the cultivation of mid-level. It was a spirit beast that looked just like a cub with a size of around 10-15 centimeters. ''It is a mid-level king realm spirit beast.'' Ajax was surprised to see that the cub was the strongest spirit beast among the four guardian spirit beasts around him. "Roar" ''Thud'' Once Ajax got to know the basic info about the four guardian spirit beasts around him, the swamp lizard king was the first to roar at him before rushing towards him. It was not fast because of its huge body which made the ground shake a little as it moved towards Ajax. "Inheritance ground,e out." With a thought, his inheritance sword appeared in his hands and without any hesitation, Ajax directly activated the grade 5 sword dao before swinging his sword at the iing swamp lizard king. Since there were four guardian spirit beasts around him, killing any one of them would reduce his burden and increase his chances ofpleting the challenge. ''sh'' ''sh'' Just when his inheritance sword was about to sh the Swamp lizard king, Ajax noticed a heavy gust of wind wasing at him. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' Without any hesitation, Ajax disappeared from his ce leaving his killing more on the swamp lizard king. Even though he could have killed the swamp lizard king, in the very next second, Ajax would have died from the heavy gusts of wind. So, Ajax didn''t regret it. ''They even know how to cooperate with one another.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he finally thought to use his new level 3 bloodline. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Initially, Ajax thought he could try pushing himself without activating the bloodline; however, when he saw the guardian spirit beasts were working together, he knew he could not hold back anymore. ''Ding, Level 3 abyssal beast god bloodline is activated. ''Ding, The host''s battle prowess will be increased by five times for the next one hour. The moment he activated his bloodline, the air around Ajax started changing as his eyes filled with great excitement. Because he felt a great power surging inside his body and he was craving for a good fight for the next one hour. "Let''s start the show." Without wasting any time, Ajax rushed towards the weakest guardian spirit beast, the swamp lizard king, hoping to kill it as soon as possible. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''ng'' ''Roar'' However, the other spirit beasts were stopping him fromnding his full-powered attack on the swamp lizard king. Even though hended a couple of attacks on the swamp lizard king, those attacks were not his full powerful attacks. What''s more, the swamp lizard king activated its bestial soul that surrounded it. ''A defensive bestial soul? No wonder you are always rushing forward to take my damage while letting others attack me freely.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as he looked at the formation of the four guardian spirit beasts. Swamp lizard king acted as a tank taking all the attacks from Ajax, of course, the power of those attacks were lowered by the other guardian spirit beasts. Storm wyvern and Tailed vampire dryad were attacking Ajax to kill him; however, Ajax was dodging their attacks which in turn made his attacks weaker as he was unable to get a proper footing because of repeated teleportation. ¡­.. In the sky, ''He is really good. He dodged all the attacks and even made a couple of scratches on the swamp lizard king.'' The old man had mixed emotions like shocked, surprised, excited and even sad because why did the heavens waste so much time for his encounter with Ajax. ''At this rate, as long as he became a King realm cultivator, he would dominate everyone below the emperor realm without much difficulty.'' Soon, the old man controlled his emotions as he thought about Ajax''s future which was boundless. ''I need to prepare a good item in case he rejects my offer. I need to ask the leader of that item.'' The old man took out a scroll and wrote something on it with his spirit energy. In the next seconds, the words on the scroll disappeared without a trace as he silently kept the scroll back into his space ring. ''Young man, as long as you can kill at least one guardian spirit beast, I will give the reward I promised to give.'' Earlier, the old man said he would give an additional reward if he won the challenge against the four guardian spirit beasts; however, deep down, he knew it was impossible for Ajax to kill all four guardian spirit beasts at once. Nevertheless, he decided to give that promised additional reward if Ajax killed at least one guardian spirit beast. ''Young man, please don''t disappoint me and use all your trump cards.'' The only reason why the old man made this deal with Ajax was to see what kind of skills and abilities that Ajax was hiding in him.. So, he was watching with an interesting look on his face. Chapter 1213 - Accidentally Killed In the bloodline training grounds. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 30 minutes passed by as Ajax fought with the four guardian spirit beasts and maintained his standing against them. Mostly, it was Ajax dodging the four spirit beasts attacks before trying to sneak any attack on the weakest guardian spirit beast which was none other than the Swamp lizard king. ''Huf huf'' Ajax''s breathing became heavy; however, he still had enough stamina to fight after another hour or so. Despite notnding a single attack on any of the guardian spirit beasts, Ajax had an excited smile on his face. ''I am excited about two reasons.'' Ajax looked at the four guardian spirit beasts around him as continued to speak to himself, ''One, this is the craziest spar I have ever had in my life.'' ''As for the second reason, I found a way to kill the swamp lizard king.'' Ajax looked at the swamp lizard king and looked at him with a face full of pity. ''Time to get the first kill.'' As soon as he found a way, Ajax checked for some variables and after making sure that those variables would not affect him in killing the swamp lizard king, Ajax rushed towards the storm wyvern. ''Since you are protecting your fellow lizard, I will kill it right in front of your eyes. Let''s see how you will protect it this time.'' Ajax didn''t know whether it was because the storm wyvern and the swamp lizard king are both lizards or some other reason, the storm wyvern was always distracting Ajax fromnding a critical hit on the swamp lizard king. So, he changed his rushing strategy; however, his target was still the same and it was none other than the swamp lizard king. ''Swoosh'' The storm wyvern was surprised for a moment when it saw that Ajax was rushing towards it; however, it snapped out of its surprise and sent two powerful storms towards Ajax. ''This skill will not work on me anymore as I already found a way to break it.'' For thest 30 minutes, Ajax was not just dodging the attacks; instead, he was finding a way to break the attacks of the four guardian spirit beasts. ''Sword wave'' Ajax released a huge sword wave at the iing storms while maintaining his same running speed. ''sh'' As for the sword wave, it cleaved the iing storms horizontally and made a small opening for Ajax to pass through the storms. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was just about to pass through the storms, the tailed vampire dryad used its scorpion-like tail at Ajax. ''Rumble'' As for the chaos lynx, the cub casually waved its paw at Ajax; however, the storms released by the storm wyvern became more powerful and the opening in the storms started closing. ''Rumble'' At the same time, thend below Ajax''s feet started shaking which was affecting Ajax''s effect. ''You are all doing what I expected you to do.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried in the least because it was still within his expectations. ''I still have 5 seconds before I lose my footing.'' In the next second, Ajax started counting, ''5¡­4¡­3¡­2¡­1¡­teleport.'' As soon as he finished his counting, Ajax teleported through the small opening created in one of the storms by his sword wave. ''Roar'' Seeing Ajax''s actions, all four guardian spirit beasts became furious and let out the roars. ''Time to surprise you.'' Ajax stayed inside the storm only for a couple of seconds before teleporting himself out. ''Die'' All of a sudden, he appeared behind the Tailed vampire dryad that was standing just beside the swamp lizard king. ''ng'' However, the tailed vampire dryad''s tail easily blocked Ajax''s inheritance sword. ''Multiple storms'' ''Mud shot'' ''Chaos strike'' No one expected such a move from Ajax and just like always, the remaining three guardian spirit beasts used their regr skill at Ajax. ''Just in time.'' Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face and without any hesitation, he shouted, ''Teleport''. He disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of the swamp lizard king. ''Teleport'' However, he still didn''t use his final blow; instead, he once again used the ''Teleport'' and appeared below the swamp lizard king. ''Inheritance sword'' ''Grade 5 sword dao'' ''Mountain splitting technique'' Finally, Ajax didn''t hold back any longer as he used everything he could to increase the attack of his sword sh and split the swamp lizard king by two. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing the second guardian spirit beast. ''Ding, A normal bloodline orb with a capacity of 25000 units is stored inside the host''s body. As soon as he split the swamp lizard king into two, Ajax received the system notification, making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I did it.'' Looking at the two perfect halves of the swamp lizard king, Ajax revealed an excited smile on his face as he looked back at the other guardian spirit beasts. ''What the¡­'' Ajax was shocked at what he saw and rubbed his eyes whether it was real or just a dream. ''Ding, The host killed the fourth guardian spirit beast and gained a normal bloodline orb with a capacity of 50000 units. Nevertheless, the system sent him a system notification, making him believe he was not dreaming about it. That''s right! The fourth guardian spirit beast, the tailed vampire dryad twitched on the ground for a while before dying right in front of Ajax''s eyes. The other two guardian spirit beasts also looked at the dead tailed vampire dryad with a shocked look on their faces because they didn''t expect to identally kill one of their own. ''Even though I expected that the tailed vampire dryad would be receiving attacks from the other guardian spirit beasts, I didn''t think it would die from them.'' Ajax knew exactly how it died and looked at the remaining two guardian spirit beasts with a serious look because their attacks were much stronger than he had expected that was capable of killing one of them. .... Chapter 1214 - Leaving The Organization In the sky, ''What? How is it possible?'' The old man who was enjoying Ajax''s fight with the four guardian spirit beasts was shocked when he saw that two of the guardian spirit beasts had fallen. "Second and fourth guardian spirit beasts have fallen. If he fights like this, killing the third guardian spirit beast is possible and he can injure the fifth guardian spirit beast." Soon, his shock turned inot great excitement as he looked at Ajax in a new light. ''Why should I waste a decade waiting for him to defeat the other guardian spirit beasts? As soon as the challenge is finished, I will just ask him to join my organization.'' The old man took the scroll he used earlier to inform about Ajax''s recruitment into the organization. As the old man expected, he got a reply from the leader of his organization. The old man replied and continued to write, However before he could finish his exnation, words started appearing on the scroll. The words from the other side started getting intense, making the old man furious and at the same time he felt sad. Until now, he thought the leader knew how the geniuses I rmended ended up as jokes in front of everyone; however, after seeing the leader''s earlier reply, the old man understood that the leader doesn''t value him or his words anymore. ''So, there is nothing left for me to stay in the organization anymore.'' Even though the elders and the other upper echelon of the organization bullied and harassed him a lot after that incident, the old man didn''t bother much about it because the only reason he joined the organization was because of the leader who already respected the old man for his battle prowess. However, the same leader was no longer showing any respect, making the old man feel detached to the so-called organization that he poured blood and sweat into helping it gain its current fame. ''If it is really because of that event, then I guess I misjudged the leader for his skill at discerning the truth from lies. If he really can''t see it and take the side of that bastard, then I will just quit the orgainzation.'' After thinking for a moment, the old man looked at Ajax who was fighting the remaining two guardian spirit beasts and came to a conclusion. ''I think it is time for me to quit the organiziation.'' This was the only thought in his mind because a ce that didn''t know his value was not worth staying there. With that thought? in his mind, the old man wrote, <...> There was a few moments of silence from the other side before words started appearing on the scroll. Since he wanted to quit the organization, he stop showing the respect in his words and continued to ask, Finally, the other side became furious and continued to reply, The so-called leader of the organization didn''t seem to be sad; instead, he seemed very happy. The leader asked the old man to continue to guard the bloodline training grounds for another week as it would be troublesome if other organizations imed the training grounds. "Oh, right. I forgot to mention something, I bought the bloodline training grounds using my contributions points. So, there is no need to need anyone here and from this moment, I have nothing to do with your organization." The old man scoffed as he wrote those words. The old man was no longer sad for leaving the organization as he continued to write, ''Kacha'' As soon as he finished his words, the old man destroyed the scroll in his hands before looking at Ajax anad thought, ''With those resources, I can help him be an Emperor realm cultivator in less than hundreds.'' For some reason, the old man felt free and the unknown pressure that? always seemed to be in his heart disappeared without a trace. ''Little one, do you think I did the right thing?'' The old man muttered to himself. ''Screech'' ''No, master. I never like that so-called leader who always exploits you for his own gains.'' Surprisingly, an eagle appeared with a screech and replied to the old man whilending on his shoulder. "Also, I think you found a good sessor to pass your knowledge to." The eagle looked at Ajax as it said to the old man. Chapter 1215 - Little Eagle "The lizard and tree are down and only a cat and another lizard are left." Looking at the Storm Wyvern and the Chaos Lynx, Ajax said it out loud intentionally before rushing towards the storm wyvern. ''I have to kill at least one of them before the ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' falls into the cool down.'' There were only 10 more minutes left, so Ajax rushed things and set a target of killing one of the guardian spirit beasts. "Roar" However, with the death of the two guardian spirit beasts, the remaining two guardian spirit beasts became furious and decided to use their full power. "Roar" The two guardian spirit beasts roared at Ajax and without any hesitation, they summoned their bestial souls. The two transparent beings that were none other than the bestial soul appeared in front of the two guardian spirit beast. One looked like a dragon and another looked like a ck tiger. "Looks like you are finally serious." Ajax knew that the four guardian spirit beasts were not using their full powers earlier and that''s the reason why he was able to kill two of them. ''Just because of transforming your bestial souls to like powerful creatures would not make you them. You are still a lizard and a cat.'' The guardian spirit beasts and their summoned bestial souls were worlds apart. So, he mocked them in his head. "Advanced spatial des" "Shadow clone" "Teleport" "Poison demon w" Ajax went all out and used all his skills. "ng" However, not a single attack passed through the storm wyvern''s bestial soul. ''Finally, this is what I call a true King realm spirit beast.'' Seeing that his attacks were not prating, Ajax was not worried; instead, he was excited as he felt his blood was rushing as he fought them. "Human, we have had enough of you. It is time to end." As the storm wyvern was blocking all his attacks, the Choas lynx scoffed at Ajax and shouted, ''Chaos realm''. Before Ajax could react, a ck orb of light hit his head and in the very next moment, Ajax fell to the ground. "Finally, it is over." Chaos lynx chuckled proudly while looking at the unconscious Ajax and ordered the Storm wyvern, "Kill him." ¡­ In the sky, "Looks like it came to an end." The old man who was watching the fight was not disappointed that Ajax fell into the chaos realm and lost the fight against the guardian spirit beasts. "Little bird, do you want to share your bloodline with him? Even though he is currently very weak, when he reaches the top, your bloodline will also grow along with him." The old man asked the eagle on his shoulders with a slight smile on his face. "Even though he has the talent to be someone great, that does mean he has the qualifications to receive my bloodline." The eagle'' eyes were on Ajax as it continued to reply to the old man, "However, I can give him the invitation to my race'' inheritance grounds. If hees out of it in one piece, then I might give him my bloodline." "No. Never. I will not allow it." Hearing the eagle''s words, the old man hurriedly rejected it. "Keke¡­I was just joking. Why would I send him to his death? I was just testing how much you care for him. Looks like you are really going to pass your mantle to him." The eagle chuckled as it replied to the old man. "Litle birdie looks like you are in a good mood to make jokes today." The old man had a dark look on his face as he looked at the eagle. "Of course. Finally, you left that shitty organization. We can finally live peacefully in this realm without going out on missions." Suddenly, the eagle flew into the sky and said, "Anyway, it is time for me to go to my nest. If I am even by a second, my wife will leave the nest and go back to her family." As soon as he finished his words, the eagle disappeared into the distance. "Haha" Seeing the actions of the little eagle, the old man could not help butugh out loud and silently thought, ''I hope the egg hatches without any problems. With a child, he can have a family that I was unable to have.'' The old man reminisced about something as he looked at the ground; however, he was shocked at what he had seen. ''Puchi'' "Did you think I was dead just like that?" The inheritance sword pierced through the Choas Lynx as Ajax asked the two guardian spirit beasts with a slight smile on his face. "How is that possible?" "Didn''t I just kill you with my lightning storm?" Both the guardian spirit beasts were shocked because they thought they had already killed Ajax; however, seeing that Ajax was not only in perfect condition but he was able to pierce through the heart of the chaos lynx, they were unable to believe their eyes. "That''s right! You killed me; however, I have two lives¡­.Haha." "Puchi" With a slight smile on his face, Lucas pulled out the inheritance sword of the chaos lynx. ''Teleport'' In the next second, he disappeared from his ce and appeared on the back of the storm wyvern that was still in shock. "I wanted to y with you a little more; however, I don''t have much time to waste." ''Puchi'' While saying that, Ajax pierced the inheritance sword into the storm wyvern as it fell to the ground without any resistance. ''Ding, The host killed a mid-level king realm spirit beast. ''Ding, The host gained a bloodline orb with 100000 units of normal bloodline energy in it. ''Ding, The host killed a low-level king realm spirit beast. ''Ding, The host gained a bloodline orb with 50000 units of normal bloodline energy in it. ''Holy heavens. So many normal bloodline units.'' Ajax was surprised with the number of normal bloodline units he received from killing the two guardian spirit beasts. ''Thud'' However, before he could count the total normal bloodline units in his body and inventory, he fell to the ground. Chapter 1216 - Demon God Of Assassination ''How did he kill them?'' The old man who was already shocked with Ajax'' ability to kill two low-level king realm spirit beasts was once again shocked when he saw the remaining two guardian spirit beasts were killed. What''s more, one of the two guardian spirit beasts was even a mid-level king realm spirit beast. "I wonder who gave birth to such a monster." The old man thought about Ajax'' parents and wanted to meet them. ''Swoosh'' With a wave of his hand, the old man brought the unconscious Ajax to the cloud he was sitting on and checked on his condition. ''He is just tired from all the fighting.'' Ajax had been fighting the spirit beasts inside the bloodline training grounds for more than 200 days and of course, he would be tired. So, the old man just let Ajax rest for now and decided to talk after he woke up. ¡­.. In the Xacaster province, "Ancestor, I bought 100 young men you asked for. Currently, they are under my control." The middle-aged man said to the ancestor with a respectful look on his face. The middle-aged man feared that the ancestor might use the young assassins that joined their organization for whatever he was nning to use because he knew it was definitely not a good thing. So, he worked hard to gather 100 young men from the outside as fast as he could without making other organizations suspicious of his actions. "Good. Do you want to stay back to see what I am nning to do?" The ancestor was surprised for a moment when he heard the middle-aged man''s words; however, he didn''t show any expression on his face as he asked the middle-aged man. "No, Ancestor. I will take my leave now." After leaving the 100 young men who looked like they were sleepy walking, the middle-aged man left the room quietly after rejecting the ancestor''s offer politely. The middle-aged man knew nothing good woulde when he saw that Ancestor doing his sacrifices to the demon god. ''Sigh¡­poor young men. I hope they don''t suffer much before dying.'' The middle-aged man thought to himself and didn''t even bother to look back at the young men, fearing that the inner demons might grow in his heart. ''Come'' As for the 100 young men, they slowly walked into the ancestor''s room when they heard the ancestor''s low voice. Even though the room looked not so big, it was actually very big and 100 young men could easily fit in the room without any problem. "Barrier." In the next second, the ancestor made an invisible barrier around his room and looking at the 100 young men, he revealed an evil smile on his face. "Oh¡­demon god of assassination, your humble devotee is summoning you to take your favourite food." Ancestor pulled various runes and formations out of thin air and chuckled with an evilugh on his face. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a huge portal appeared in the room and a huge ck hand came out of it before pulling all the 100 young men into the portal. "Crunch" "Munch" "Puchi" Soon, munching sounds came from the other side of the portal and it continued for 10 minutes before burping sounds starteding out of the portal. As for the ancestor, he remainedpletely silent as the ''Demon god of assassination'' that he summoned eat all 100 young men. "I am satisfied with your tribute¡­burp." After finishing his meal, the ''Demon god of assassination'' spoke with great satisfaction in his words and continued speaking, "So, what do you want this time?" "Demon god of assassination, the deal from thest time is not finished." Ancestor hesitated a little before saying those words. "What did you say?" All of a sudden, the entire room was filled with a ck mist that made the ancestor very hard to breathe; however, he forced himself and replied while gritting his teeth. "ording to our deal, you have to kill the emperor and his wife; however, that bastard ''Protector of the skies'' ran somewhere with the emperor''s child that was born amidst our attack." The ancestor stopped for a moment to take a small breath before saying, "However, it is not a problem because I can take care of that little bastard myself because that ''Protector of the skies'' was injured heavily by us, the four guardians of the Purple stone world." "Then what is your problem?" The ck smoke in the room decreased as the demon god of assassination asked Ancestor in a serious tone. "However, that Emperor bastard is still alive and he will be attending the contest in the Ylercester province." While saying that, Ancestor sent an invitation scroll into the portal for the demon god of assassination to read it. "What? Impossible. There is no way he would be still alive." There was a shocked voice from the other side of the portal as the voice continued, "Because only after devouring both the emperor and the empress, I was able to be the full-fledged demon god of the assassination." "Demon god, are you sure about it? If that Emperor was alive, he would hunt us down no matter where we hid." Ancestor knew very well how scary the emperor was. He was a very revengeful person and since they tried to kill him, he would go to any length to hunt them down no matter what the consequences. "Don''t worry, I am sure that he is not alive." After staying silent for a few moments, the demon god of assassination replied to the ancestor, "Nevertheless, since there are still 10 days for the actual contest to start, I will order the demon emperors under my control to send them their armies to the purple stone world. This will prove to you that the bastard is really dead." "Thank you, Demon god." Ancestor bowed in the direction of the portal as he could sense the demon god was very confident about the death of the emperor. "Now, what do you want for the tribute you gave to me?" Chapter 1217 - Emergency Ghost (level 2) "Now, what do you want for the tribute you gave to me?" As a demon god, he wanted to give something in return for the tribute given by one of his followers or devotees. So, the demon god of assassination asked the ancestor in a calm voice. "I want to recover my body and gain half of my previous battle prowess." Ancestor didn''t stand on ceremony as he directly asked the demon god what he wanted. Also, he didn''t ask for the recovery of the full battle prowess as he knew 100 young men were not enough tribute to ask for such a request. "Both are impossible to fulfil." However, the demon god from the other side of the portal instantly rejected the ancestor''s request and continued saying, "As long as you find a good body, I will help you transfer your soul in that body. As for your battle prowess, I can adjust it to the 20 percent of your peak battle prowess." The demon god knew what the ancestor wants after hearing his request; however, they were difficult to fulfil. Nevertheless, he suggested something else that was not a bad thing for the ancestor. "Demon god 20 percent is a little too low. Why don''t I bring another 100 young men for you to eat?" Ancestor knew he could not summon the demon god again and again as it would take quite a toll on his body and soul. Thest time, he summoned a demon god was around 15 years ago and it was in order to destroy the emperor and his wife. So, he wanted to make the deal with the demon god right now. "Fine¡­I will open the portal after 15 days. Find a good host for your soul along with 100 more talented young men. I will increase your battle prowess to 30 percent and more than that is not possible for me." As soon as he finished his words, the demon god directly closed the portal without bothering to listen to ancestor''s reply. ''Damn it¡­30 percent is very little; however, I think that bastard ''Protector of the skies'' must be in the same situation as me.'' Ancestor thought about someone from the past that made him reveal an evil look, ''With the help of the demon god, I will instantly recover 30 percent of my battle prowess. I think it will be enough to go against you.'' The thing is, with the confirmation from the demon god, Ancestor believed that the emperor really died and the one who said the emperor would being was definitely rted to ''Protector of the skies'' as he was a very loyal subordinate to the emperor. ''I guess, 30 per cent of my original battle power is enough to take control over this world.'' Soon, the ancestor startedughing as he was very confident in taking over the purple stone world with 30 percent ofo his original battle prowess. ''The other guardian must be still recovering. With my battle prowess, I can intimidate them and make them my loyal servants¡­keke'' Thinking about everything, ancestor was could not help butugh out loud with an eerie chuckle. Soon, he summoned the middle-aged man and ordered him to gather another 100 young men and one rare talented young man as a host for his soul. Even though the middle-aged man was annoyed and dissatisfied with his ancestor''s request, he still didn''t dare to reject them and promised the ancestor to finish them. ...¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh three days passed in the bloodline training grounds. "Ugh¡­did I kill all the guardian spirit beasts?" Ajax was sleeping woke up suddenly and looked at his surroundings before thinking about the guardian spirit beasts. Currently, Ajax was resting on a cloud and he could see the huge eagle-like spirit beast was looking at him from the distance. ''Damn it¡­just a look from that spirit beast is enough to make em shiver.'' Ajax was not expecting to see it. So, of course, he was sacred for a moment before he saw the old man flying towards him from the distance. "Finally, you woke." The old man nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and continued saying, "And, yes, you killed all the guardian spirit beasts." "Phew" Ajax heaved a sigh of relief with the old man''s words. Even though he remembered killing the first two guardian spirit beasts, he didn''t remember much about killing the other two guardian spirit beasts. "Do you not remember killing them or what?" The old man asked with a frown and continued, "Exactly how did you doe back to life after the storm wyvern killed you?" Even though the old man was very powerful with unknown strength, he was still unable to see through how Ajax came back to life. Clearly, he saw Ajax getting killed by the storm wyvern after he fell into the chaos realm by the Chaos lynx. "Haha...it''s a secret." Ajaxughed a little and shook his head. "Haha¡­it is a good thing to keep your trump cards hidden. Not bad." The old man was not annoyed or irritated; instead, he like Ajax even more because a cultivator should not exin or show his trump cards to others just because they asked him. ''Ding, Skill name:- Emergency ghost (Level 2) Effect:- A passive skill that triggers when the user is killed.? Not only will hee back alive, but all his battle prowess would also be doubled for a few minutes which is called ''Enrage state''. Side effect:- Falls into ae for a minimum of three days to one year depending on the damage done to him while he was in an enraged state. Information:- A skill received from the Assassin elemental spirit Zen and because of the rapid growth of the elemental spirit, the summoner''s skill is also upgraded. However, Ajax looked at the information on a skill that brought him to life. ''The upgrade for this skill helped me kill the guardian spirit beasts.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself with a slight smile on his face. ***** Gerardo_Andrade, thanks for the DRAGON. Chapter 1218 - Second Inheritance Sword Previously the skill ''Emergency ghost'' was at level 1 skill and after getting killed, he would be unable to use any of his skills or battle techniques in the fight for the next 24 hours. However, after it upgraded to level 2, the effect also got upgraded, making his battle prowess double after getting killed. Nevertheless, the side effect of the skill was also upgraded from 24 hours to a minimum of three days. "Since I promised to give you an additional gift if you defeat all four guardian spirit beasts, I will keep it." As Ajax was keeping satisfied with level 2 ''Emergency ghost'' skill, he saw the old man take out a sword that looked just like his inheritance sword. However,pared to his inheritance sword, the one in the old man''s hands looked less majestic than his own. "One of the participants of the bloodline training grounds left behind this sword before he was recruited. While you used your sword, this one kept resonating as though it wanted to rush towards you." The old man continued speaking, "I think this will be useful for you and your sword dao." After finishing his words, he gave that sword to Ajax, who took it with a hopeful look in his eyes. ''Appraise'' The moment he took the sword into his hands, Ajax checked the information on it. ''Ding, Weapon Name:- Inheritance sword (Second) Grade:- High-level heaven grade. Information:- One of the three swords left behind by a powerful sword cultivator. When the three swords are merged into a single sword it will be a high-level legend grade sword. ''This is really one of the inheritance swords.'' Ajax already knew that there were three swords and he had to collect them all to gain the full inheritance of that sword cultivator. ''Ding, It is detected that the host has the first inheritance sword. Do you want to merge them? While Ajax was still feeling happy over finding the second inheritance sword without any trouble, he received a system notification and without any hesitation, he agreed to it. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he agreed, the first inheritance sword in his inventory came out and floated in front of him along with the second inheritance sword which also flew out of his hands and floated in front of him. ''Ding, Merging the first inheritance sword and the second inheritance sword will take five days ording to the purple stone world'' time. ''Ding, During the merging time, the host can store them in his spirit consciousness. In the next second, he received two more system notifications, making him a little surprised; however, it only made Ajax even more excited. Because he felt that with five days of merging time, thebined sword would be more powerful and he was looking forward to it. "Thank you for the gift, Elder." Ajax respectfully bowed to the old man after the two inheritance swords disappeared into his spirit consciousness. "It is what I promised to give you." The old man shook his head with a slight smile on his face and asked, "Young man, I want to take you as my personal disciple. Are you interested?" The old man didn''t beat around the bush and directly came to the main point, making Ajax surprised. "Huh?" Ajax looked at the old man and tried to figure out what the old man''s intentions were; however, he was clueless about it. "Even if you already have a master in the purple stone world, I don''t mind bing your second master. With your talent, you will be more powerful; however, it will not be an easy thing for you to do on your own." "I will help you with cultivation resources, increase your bloodline power, and share my knowledge regarding the greater worlds out there." The old man informed Ajax about all the benefits he would get by bing the old man''s personal disciple. ''Th..this..'' Ajax hesitated a little to give an answer because he was worried about the true intentions of the old man. Even though he would get a lot of benefits by bing the old man''s personal disciple, Ajax didn''t want to be the personal disciple of someone who he barely knew anything about. "I know you don''t know anything about me; however, my end ising and I might barely live for a couple of decades or so. Before I pass away, I want to be a disciple to continue my legacy." The old man never took a disciple in his life and since he was about to die, he even took a gamble to leave the organization which he helped it reach its current position, just because he felt Ajax was a cultivator whom he was searching to take as his personal disciple. "..." Hearing the old man''s words, Ajax remained silent as he didn''t know what he had to do. He was unable to figure out whether the old man was telling the truth or just fooling him by using the sympathy card. Nevertheless, Ajax was tempted to agree to the old man''s request. "Sigh¡­fine. If you don''t want to be my personal disciple, just forget that I asked you to be my personal disciple." The old man shook his head and he gave up on saying any more words to Ajax. "No¡­that''s not it." Ajax hurriedly replied to the old man and continued saying, "Can you give me some time to think about it?" "Sure" The old man revealed a slight smile on his face when he felt there was still hope for him. Earlier, when he saw that Ajax was not showing any signs of bing his personal disciple, he felt like he was not fated to be Ajax''s master. ''Young Ajax, what are you waiting for? Just ept him as your master and take advantage of the situation to get all his resources.'' Just as Ajax asked for that permission to think about it, the old voice in his head that was supposed to be in a deep slumber shouted at Ajax. Chapter 1219 - Old Voice Comes And Goes ''Huh? You finally woke up?'' Ajax was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old voice in his head as it''s been a while since hest heard that voice. ''Yes. I woke up and what is your problem in bing his disciple?'' The old voice scoffed at Ajax and continued saying, ''He is powerful and reaching his end. As long as you be his disciple, you will get that old man''s inheritance.'' ''Moreover, the old man didn''t mind whether you already have a master or not. Nevertheless, you don''t have a master, to begin with.'' The old voice urged him to ept the old man as his disciple. ''I might get some good cultivation resources if I be his master; however, as long as I work hard, I will get those cultivation resources. For that, do I really need to ept some as my master?'' Ajax replied to the old voice with a question. ''I know you get items out of thin air; however, do you really think that it willst forever?'' The old voice in his head became a little serious as it continued, ''A powerful cultivator from the greater world wants to take you as his personal disciple. What more do you want?'' ''I know but¡­'' Actually, Ajax was already tempted to be the personal disciple of the old man; however, he was thinking about something and that was making him stop. Nevertheless, after hearing the old voice''s words in his head, Ajax was only an inch away from acknowledging the old man as his master. ''But¡­but what?'' The old voice, who spoke in a calm and peaceful tone was very anxious, angry and irritated today for some reason as he scoffed at Ajax. ''Why the hell are you getting worked up today?'' Ajax also felt that same thing about the old voice and asked it directly without any hesitation. ''Nevermind. Young kids, these days are¡­sigh'' The old voice sighed and after suppressing its anger, the old voice once again asked, "So, what is stopping you from bing his personal disciple?" ''Sigh¡­there is a reason.'' Ajax sighed as he finally spoke about the reason, ''From my childhood, there was an elder who took care of me and taught me so many things. In his teachings, he said that I should not take anyone as my master carelessly.'' ''And why is that?'' The old voice inquired Ajax about it. ''Because bing powerful without acknowledging anyone as your master is a great achievementpared to bing powerful by acknowledging someone as your master.'' Ajax gave the reason why he was hesitating about bing the personal disciple of the old man. ''What kind of bullshit is it?'' The old voice scolded Ajax and whoever said those words to him. ''Stop listening to that shit and listen to the great me. Just ept that poor old man as your master as he only wants to give you his mantle.'' The old voice continued to push Ajax to ept the old man as his master. ''Damn it¡­why kind of bullshit that old man fed into his mind that he is not acknowledging someone from the greater world as his master?'' The old voice thought to himself and cursed Elder Boron more and more. ''Looks like I have to take this matter into my own hands.'' Seeing that Ajax was greatly affected by Elder Boron''s words, the old voice decided to act. ''Damn it¡­after today, I will once again enter into the deep slumber.'' The old voice didn''t like to fall into the deep slumber; however, he didn''t want Ajax to miss the chance of bing the personal disciple of the old man. The old man was looking at Ajax and waited for his reply; however, he was feeling that the chances of Ajax bing his personal disciple are very low. ''What reason should I give?'' Just as Ajax was thinking of some kind of excuse to say why he was not willing to be the old man''s disciple, his body automatically fell to his knees. "The personal disciple Ajax greets the master." At the same time, a few words came out of his mouth that absolutely came out of his mouth on their own. ''What the hell?'' ''Ajax was shocked with how his body was behaving on its own. "Haha¡­.fianlly I the bloodline emperor, Mostror received the first disciple." The old man was shocked for a moment when he heard Ajax''s reply as he was clearly not expecting those words from Ajax. Nevertheless, he was so happy that he startedughing out loud with a satisfied look on his face while looking at Ajax. ''Kid, since you are hesitating a little too much, I took control over your body for a few seconds. I used all the strength I recovered. So, I will once again enter into a deep slumber. Hope you be a lot more powerful by the next time I see you.'' Just as Ajax was lost in his thought of how something like losing control over his body happened, he heard the old voice in his head which sounded very satisfied and content. ''Damn you¡­why the hell did you do that?'' Ajax was angry at the old voice in his head and scolded him, making the old voice silent. Whether he was still present or already entered the deep slumber, no one knows other than the old voice himself. "Elder¡­" "Stop calling me an elder. You need to address me as a Master and teacher. Whichever word you arefortable with, go with it as I don''t mind." Before Ajax could say anything, he was interrupted by the old man. "Since you are my first disciple, this is a gift I want to give you as your personal master." The old man was clearly very happy today after getting the first disciple and even took out a small pill bottle filled with some red-coloured liquid in it. ''Th..this is¡­.'' The moment he touched it, theplete information about it appeared in front of him and he was shocked by it. Chapter 1220 - Aron Alpenswift ''Ding, Potion Name:- Bloodline awakening potion. Grade:- Legend grade potion. Effect:- It helps the consumer awaken at least one powerful bloodline hidden deep in his body. More information:- Everyone has many powerful bloodlines which degrade further with each generation. To bring them out, an alchemist emperor developed a potion after a series of experiments. Note:- The system is not sure about the information but it was a general rumour. Ajax was in shock as he double-checked the information of the red-coloured potion in the old man''s hands. "Do you recognize it?" When the old man saw the shocked look on Ajax''s face, he was surprised a little as he asked him about it. "Um¡­yes. I have a talent to appraise the items; however, the information will not be very detailed." Ajax knew he could not escape from the old man''s eyes if he lied about his earlier expression. So, he lied about being an appraiser. "Oh. It''s a good talent. For a cultivator, having a good eye always helps him in his cultivation path." Appraisers were not so rare from the ce where the old man came from; however, at the same time, it was rare for an appraiser from a lowly province in a normal world. So, he praised Ajax for his talent and forced the potion into Ajax''s hands. "This will be the first gift from your master." However, he didn''t stress about Ajax''s appraising talent and continued saying, "Drink this potion before you enter the King realm to get the maximum benefits from it." Mostror warned Ajax about the best time to drink the potion. "Oh¡­why is that, master?" Just a few moments ago, Ajax was feeling conflicted about epting the old man as his master and after the old voice in his head controlled his body for a brief moment to make him acknowledge Mostror as his master, Ajax wanted to exin about it. However, he didn''t know how to exin it and at the same time, the ''Bloodline awakening potion'' was too good to reject. ''I hope Elder Boron will not get angry for taking someone as my master.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked about the reason why he had to consume the potion before entering the King realm. "In a regr person'' blood, there will be hundreds of thousands of bloodlines ranging from weak to powerful or even extremely powerful. Even though 99.99 percent of the bloodlines never awaken, there is still a chance of awakening the powerful bloodlines hidden in the body. "However, once he or she bes a King realm cultivator, their body will undergo many changes from inside along with the blood in their bodies" "During that process, many bloodlines will be lost. If it was normal bloodlines, it was not a big deal; however, the powerful bloodlines hidden deep in their blood would have high chances of disappearing." As Ajax''s master, Mostror had to exin the questions asked by Ajax. So, he gave a clear and detailed answer, making Ajax nod his head. "Master, how many bloodlines can I awaken after drinking this potion?" Soon, he asked the next question because the system mentioned at least one powerful bloodline would be awakened. So, he wanted to know the maximum number of bloodlines that could be awakened with the help of the ''Bloodline awakening potion''. "You can awaken only one powerful bloodline along with a couple of normal or low-grade bloodlines." Mostror was calm as he continued to exin, "However, there was a genius who awakened three powerful bloodlines along with five normal and 10 low-grade bloodlines; however, it was a pity that he was killed by his enemies when he was ascending to¡­." The old man stopped his words all of a sudden, making Ajax raise his brows. "Ascending to what, master?" At the same time, Ajax was curious about it and asked the old man. "It is not good for you to know about it so soon. However, all I can say is that it was a realm higher than the Emperor realm." Mostror shook his head and didn''t say about what that peerless genius was ascending to; however, he informed it was a realm after the emperor realm. "A realm higher than the Emperor realm?" Ajax was surprised for a moment. ''Cultivation is a never-ending and tedious process. If you want to quit in the middle, it''s better you don''t start.'' However, when he remembered one of Elder Boron''s quotes, he was no longer surprised. ''Earlier, I thought King realm is the highest one; however, there is Emperor realm and now, my master is telling me that there is another realm above Emperor realm. Looks like it is really a never-ending process.'' Ajax shook his head for a moment; however, when he thought about the system, his thoughts changed, ''It is really tedious work; however, for me, it is not tedious work because of the system.'' "Until you be a King realm cultivator, don''t think much about that realm and only focus on bing a King realm cultivator." Looking at Ajax who was lost in his thoughts, Mostror assumed that Ajax was thinking about the realm above the Emperor realm and asked him to not think much about it for now. "I will do that master." Ajax nodded his head and he would be waiting for his summons who went on the world-destroying expedition toe back with the world cores. So that he could increase his cultivation. "By the way, what is the? name of that genius cultivator who awakened 16 bloodlines after drinking the bloodline awakening potion?" In the next second, Ajax asked Mostror about the fallen genius. 16 bloodlines! That was a huge number even for Ajax who had the system and of course, he was curious about the fallen genius. "His name is Aron. Aron Alpenswift. He was also known as the Demon exterminator." There was a hint of respect when he said that name and at the same time, he reminisced about something from the past. **** Happy new year. Chapter 1221 - Fallen Genius Aron Alpenswift Around two hundred years ago. "Brother, thank you for saving me from these demons." A middle-aged man in his early thirties thanked a man in his early twenties with a face full of respect and gratitude. Around them, there were hundreds of demons whose cultivation ranged from low-level king realm to mid-level king. Amidst the hundreds of demon corpses, there was a huge demon with the strength of a high-level king realm. Of course, he had been long dead. Judging from the facial expression, that high-level demon king was obviously unconvinced with his death at the hands of a human cultivator. "There is no need to thank me for this, big brother. I took the mission to protect you and I have to give my everything to protect you." The man in his early twenties replied with a bright smile on his face. "Brother, can I know your name?" The middle-aged man''s respect towards the man in front of him reached the next level when he heard those words and asked his name. Even though the middle-aged man was the one who hired the man in front of him along with a few other mercenaries, except for the high-level mercenaries'' name, he didn''t bother about the low-level mercenaries who only had the strength of the low-level king realm. However, after getting ambushed by nearly thousands of king realm demons, all the mercenaries he hired were killed except for one who had the strength of a low-level king realm. Nevertheless, he was protected by the same man whom he didn''t even bother to know about his name until now. However, after seeing the battle prowess of that man, who single-handedly killed thousand demon kings among which one of them even had the strength of a high-level demon king. "My name is Aron Alpenswift." Nodding his head, the man introduced himself. "I, Mostror, will be sworn brothers with brother Aron Alphenswif in the presence of nine heavens." Without any hesitation, the middle-aged man swore to the nine heavens and became sworn brothers with the man who just saved him from the demon kings. "Brother Aron, are you willing to ept me as your sworn brother?" "Yes, Brother Mostror." Aron didn''t think much before epting it because he had already done the background check on Mostror and that''s the only reason he protected him; otherwise, he would have just waited until his death before killing the demons. "Good¡­good." Mostror was very happy to be brothers with Aron. ..... Present day. "Master?" Ajax called Mostror when he saw the old man reminiscing about his past. "Huh? It''s nothing." Mostror came out of his thoughts and shook his head. "Do you know about it?" Ajax asked about the peerless genius and he was already interested in the stories of geniuses and heroes from the past. "I know a few things." The old man nodded his head as he started feeling about Aron Alpenswif, "No one knew about his origins until he destroyed a smaller demon world on his own with a cultivation of low-level king realm" "Destroying a smaller demon world? Is it that much of a big deal?" Ajax didn''t feel it was a big deal because a smaller demon world only had a few low-level demon kings and in some smaller worlds, only one low-level demon king. So, a low-level king realm cultivator destroying a smaller demon world was not a big deal for the cultivators in the normal world, not to mention to the cultivators of the greater world. "Of course, destroying a smaller demon world is not a big deal; however he did that when that smaller demon world was hosted by one of the demon apostles of the demon emperor." The old man had a proud look on his face when he said those words as though he was the one who achieved that feat. "That''s cool." Ajax felt it was a cool achievement because almost all of the demon apostles had the strength of peak level king realm strength. "That''s just his first achievement. Later on, he destroyed nearly 1000 thousand smaller demon worlds, nearly 100 normal demon worlds along with two greater demon worlds in a span of just 100 years." "Along with the destruction, he grew at a good speed and in just 100 years, he cultivated from low-level king realm to peak level emperor realm. Everyone thought he would make the? human race a top race; however, he was killed by thebined forces of emperors from all the powerful races." By the time he finished the story about Aron Alpenswift, Mostror could not help but reveal a bitter sigh while thinking, ''Only if I didn''t ck and cultivate a little harder, brother Aron would have taken me along with him to that ce where he was ambushed.'' ''Huh? Why is he so sad all of a sudden?'' Even though Ajax was not able to probe an emperor realm cultivator, he was easily able to tell that his master, Mostror, was sad after he finished his story about the fallen genus Aron Alpenswift. "Master, is something the matter?" Ajax asked after hesitation for a moment. Even though it was only a few moments before he acknowledged the old man in front of him as his master, Ajax wanted to help if possible. "Disciple Ajax, I have something to ask you as your master. I hope you will not reject it." Mostror thought about something and looked at Ajax before saying those words seriously. ''Huh? Don''t tell me it is about taking some kind of revenge against his enemies.'' As he grew up hearing the stories of great heroes, Ajax knew that the masters of their heroes always had a dark past and they would be taking revenge against their master''s enemies. So, he felt a new system mission might being soon in his head after the old man finished his words. "What is it, master?" Ajax didn''t agree to it directly; instead, he asked about what his master wanted him to do. ***** Can someone guess what he was about to say? Chapter 1222 - Heavenly Mountain Refining Technique ''He is good with his words.'' The old man Mostror was impressed with Ajax''s reply to his request. He didn''t agree to listen to his words and at the same time, he didn''t reject it while asking for the request. ''A cultivator should be like this unless promising things right away without hearing the request like that bastard Aron.'' He thought about his sworn brother and shook his head before saying, "I want you to never show off your true strength in front of others unless it is absolutely necessary for you to use it." ''Huh?'' Ajax didn''t expect such words as he was expecting some kind of dramatic past that needs revenge. However, his master is asking him to hide his strength. "Can you promise me that you will never kill a low-level king realm cultivator until you be a peak elite general realm cultivator?" The old man didn''t bother with Ajax''s reaction as he asked Ajax to promise him about it. After observing Ajax''s battle prowess for thest few days, Mostror learned that Ajax had no problem in killing low-level king realm cultivators and he could even fight on an equal footing with a mid-level king realm cultivator without any problem. What''s more, currently, Ajax''s cultivation was only at level 2 elite general realm. ''If Ipare Ajax with Aron, he is even a bigger monster than Aron and if he made even a slightest mistake, he would fall much sooner than Aron.'' There was a reason why Mostror even decided to leave the organization he helped grow for thest hundred years and it was that he didn''t want Ajax to fall like his sworn brother and wanted Ajax to grow even more powerful to ascend to the realm that his sworn brother failed to reach. "I understood, master." Ajax really understood what his master was worried about. Moreover, Ajax was hiding his strength from the beginning and not even his friends knew about his true strength or the number of summons he had in his spirit consciousness. "A genius is nothing if he is killed before he has grown. So, use only a portion of your strength in front of everyone and keep your true powers hidden until your enemies let their guards down for you to kill them in a secluded ce." Mostror nodded his head that his disciple understood things without exining much. So, he nodded his head. "Let''s get to the main business now." After that, the old man said, "Since you already have a powerful bloodline, you can just use the bloodline energy you gained so far to strengthen it and if you need more, you can continue killing the spirit beasts in the bloodline grounds." "As for the bloodline awakening potion, consume it after you be a level 10 elite general realm cultivator." "It''s time to change your cultivation techniques." After saying a few more things, the old man said that Ajax needed to change his cultivation technique. "Master, there is no need for that. I already have a¡­" "No, I already checked your speed in absorbing the essence of nature. Even though I don''t know where you are getting so much essence of nature to fight for such a long time, it is definitely not rted to your cultivation technique, right?" Before Ajax could say anything, he was interrupted by the old man Mostror. "Y..yes." Ajax flustered a little as he nodded his head. The reason Ajax was able to fight for such a long time was because of the special spiritual gourd that has a capacity to store 100000 units of the essence of nature. As for his main cultivation technique, Heaven and earth refining technique, it was not bad. It could be even considered a good technique in any normal world; however, from the view of the greater world''s cultivators, it was just a below-average cultivation technique. So, the old man said that it was finally time for Ajax to change his main cultivation technique. "I know it was a good cultivation technique for you. But, it won''t be good for you anymore once you reach the King realm." The old man exined a little bit as he continued, "Since there is still time for you to be a king realm cultivator, you can take this time to cultivate a new cultivation technique." "I will do as the master suggests." Ajax felt his master'' words were right and nodded his head. "Good." The old man was satisfied with how Ajax didn''t have sentiments with the cultivation techniques. There were a few acquaintances, they held onto the same cultivation techniques for various reasons, making their cultivation speed slower with time. "One should know when to change the cultivation techniques in the cultivation journey." Mostror nodded his head and lightly touched Ajax''s forehead with his finger. "These are the three good cultivation techniques for absorbing the essence from nature. Check the brief information on them and select one of them." Ajax felt some foreign knowledge was entering into his head; however, when he heard the old man''s voice, he calmed down and closed his eyes to check the details of the three cultivation techniques. A legend grade refining technique that helps the cultivator absorb the essence of nature from a radius of 100 kilometers at the first level. Other than that, it gives an additional attack power and defence power to the cultivator when he is standing on the ground. Soon, Ajax saw the brief information on the first cultivation technique which made Ajax surprised. His current main cultivation technique was not worth mentioning in front of the because even at level 3, his main cultivation technique waspared to the effect of the level 1 Heavenly mountain refining technique. ''Moreover, it also gives an additional effect. It is not a bad one to select; however, let''s take the decision after checking out the? other two cultivation techniques.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax checked the other two cultivation techniques, making him more and more surprised. Chapter 1223 - Blessed Refining Technique While circting this cultivation technique, the cultivator could absorb the essence of nature in a 100 kilometers radius and the radius could be increasedter on with the level of the cultivation. As for the additional effect, it would induce a thunder element in all the skills and the attacks of the cultivator, making the attack power go up by at least 100 percent. ''What the hell? 100 percent increment in battle prowess?'' Ajax was shocked with the additional effect of the second cultivation technique and felt he should take this one. However, there was still another cultivation technique left for him to check. So, he controlled his excitement and checked thest cultivation technique. At level 1, the cultivation technique has the same absorption radius of the first two cultivation techniques; however, the additional effect for this technique depends on the cultivator. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the brief information on thest cultivation technique. ''What does that mean?'' He didn''t understand thest effectpletely. So, he opened his eyes and asked Mostror, "Master, what is the additional effect of this third cultivation technique ''Blessed refining technique''." "Before I tell you about the effect of that cultivation technique, I have to say something about it. It is the hardest cultivation technique I have ever seen. Since you are young, I thought it would be a good cultivation technique for you to cultivate. So, I added it with the two other cultivation techniques I have with me." Mostror continued, "This is a creation of the fallen genius Aron Alpenswift to the young geniuses of the human race; however, during thest 150 years, only three geniuses were able to cultivate it to level 1 and only one cultivator was able to reach level 3, whoter became the disciple of that fallen genius." "So, now you tell me, are you still willing to cultivate it? No matter how good the effect it gives, it will be useless if you are unable to cultivate it." The old man didn''t exin about the special effect given by the cultivation technique ''Blessed refining technique''; instead, he exined the difficulty and history regarding it before asking whether he was willing to cultivate it. "Huh? It was created by the fallen genius?" Ajax''s interest was piqued after hearing the history behind the cultivation technique. "Yes." The old man casually nodded his head without any emotion while thinking, ''Don''t select this cultivation technique just because it was created by a genius.'' The thing Mostror most worried about was not Ajax selecting the Blessed refining technique; instead, the reason for his selection was because he saw hundreds of thousands of young geniuses cultivate this cultivation technique just because it was created by Aron Alpenswift. In the end, except for the three cultivators, no one was sessful in cultivating the technique. "I will decide after hearing about the special effect." As for Ajax, he was not someone who would take fancy and cultivate the cultivation technique just because he was created by some genius. Even if it was difficult, if there were a good special effect, he would give it his full in cultivating that cultivation technique. So, he asked Mostror about the special effect for that cultivation technique. "Oh¡­okay." Mostror was satisfied with Ajax''s reply before exining, "Unlike other cultivation techniques, there is no specific effect for this cultivation technique." "One awakened a skill named ''Violent rage'' which temporarily increases the battle prowess by three times." "Another one received a special effect of increment in the essence of nature at 10x speed for a certain time period before returning to the normal speed." "The one who became Aron''s disciple unlocked two additional slots for forming contracts with the elemental spirits which made him indirectly gain two additional skills." "Then what about our genius Aron Alpenswift? What special effect he received from the Blessed refining technique." After hearing the different effects of the Blessed refining technique, Ajax was curious about the effect received by the creator himself. "Our genius?" Mostror didn''t know when Aron became their genius; however, he shook his head before chuckling and replied, "Hehe¡­.what do you think?" "Stop keeping me in suspense and just say it already." Ajax asked his master to tell him already because there were different effects, he was unable to pinpoint the exact effect. "Okay¡­okay." Mostror knew it was hard to tell even for him and if he didn''t hear it from Aron himself, he would have been clueless about it for his entire life. "He gained five additional slots for forming official contracts with the elemental spirit along with a permanent speed of 10x times in absorbing the essence of nature around him." "What?" Ajax was shocked when he heard the benefits received by Aron because receiving five additional slots for forming official contracts with the elemental spirits was not a normal effect. Not only would he get five additional official elemental spirits but he would also receive five additional skills rting to the elemental spirits. What''s more, this was not the only effect Aron received. The 10 times permanent increment in the absorption speed was also a top-notch effect. "So, what do you think? Is it worth cultivating the hardest cultivation technique? If you fail in cultivating this cultivation technique, you will lose all your precious time." "Everyone thought Aron''s rise in power in such a short time was because of this self-made cultivation technique and when he gifted it to the human race, everyone made their youngsters cultivate it; however, when they failed to cultivate it even after decades, everyone cursed Aron for making them fools by giving a trash cultivation technique." "So, think about it carefully before choosing whether you want to cultivate it or not." "If you sessfully cultivate it, it will be an excellent cultivation technique; however, if you fail, then it will be a trash cultivation technique. So, make a decision that you would not regret cultivating it." Mostror finished his words and waited for Ajax to make his decision. Chapter 1224 - Mythical Grade? ''Even though it is difficult, the special effects from this cultivation technique are good.'' As for Ajax, he pondered about the cultivation technique for a moment before replying, "I will cultivate it." ''Since I have a system, I hope, I can cultivate it easily.'' Ajax was betting on the system to help him regarding the cultivation technique and that''s the reason why he decided to cultivate one of the most difficult cultivation techniques in history. "Are you sure about it?" Mostror was not surprised even a single bit because he was already expecting that answer. ''Compared to the regr cultivators, genius cultivators like to aplish difficult things.'' This was the thought in the old man''s head as he asked Ajax whether he was sure about his decision. "Absolutely. Even though it was a difficult cultivation technique, there is no harm in giving it a try." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Also, I can change the cultivation technique again if I am not sessful in cultivating, right?" "Yes, you can; however, you will be wasting decades if you fail to cultivate." Mostror nodded his head as he said the downfall of the method Ajax wanted to try. "Hm¡­I will not be sitting on this cultivation technique for more than a year. Even after a year, if I am unable to cultivate, I will give up on it and choose this Azure thunder sea refining technique." Ajax already thought about the possibility where the system was unable to help him with the difficult cultivation technique or it might also be possible that he was unable toprehend even with the system''s help. So, he informed me of his decision in case he failed. For a cultivator, who would definitely be a King realm cultivator and could live for 1000 years, wasting a single year was not a problem. Moreover, Ajax was not even 16 years, to begin with and he was also confident that he would be an emperor realm cultivator in the future. So, he decided to give the difficult cultivation technique a try. "Instead of regretting the decision to not cultivate the cultivation technique, it is better to waste one year. Isn''t that right, Master?" After exining everything, Ajax asked his master with a slight smile on his face. ''He is definitely not an average genius.'' The old man was shocked with profoundness in Ajax''s words and concluded that the chances of Ajax ascending to that realm which his sworn brother was unable to ascend were very high. "That''s some good thinking." The old man nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and agreed to Ajax''s words. "Close your eyes. I will give you the method for that cultivation technique." Seeing that Ajax was not hesitating in wasting a year, Mostror didn''t bother to ask any more questions; instead, he asked Ajax to close his eyes. As the master, he would just guide the disciple from going on the wrong path; however, Ajax was very sure of his beliefs and did whatever his heart told him. So that he would have no regrets in the future. For a cultivator, having regrets was the worst thing because the inner demons were born more of those regrets which wouldter torment the cultivator, making the cultivator go crazy. "Okay" Soon, Ajax closed his eyes as the old man Mostror pressed his finger on Ajax''s forehead and injected the knowledge regarding how to cultivate the ''Blessed refining technique''. ''Ding, Detected the method of cultivating the cultivation technique named ''Blessed refining technique'' entering into the host''s mind. ''Ding, Do you want to learn it? Just as Mostror started injecting the knowledge regarding the ''Blessed refining technique'', Ajax received a couple of system notifications in his head, making Ajax surprised. ''Looks like I can rely on the system for my new cultivation technique.'' Even though Ajax knew he could cultivate the new cultivation techniques using the system'' help, he didn''t think that the system would help him in learning cultivation of the greater world. ''Yes. I want to learn it.'' Since he was curious about the special effects of cultivating the ''Blessing refining technique'', he didn''t waste any time before agreeing to the system notifications. ''Ding, Detected the cultivation technique is Mythical grade and it can''t be learned by the usual methods. ''What the hell? Didn''t I just praise you? Why are you saying that now?'' Ajax was shocked by the new system notification. It was like pouring cold water on his excitement. ''No wonder, it is the most difficult cultivation technique in history.'' Nevertheless, after learning that it was a mythical grade cultivation technique, Ajax felt he had to learn it at any cost. ''Another shocking thing is how could the fallen genius give away such a cultivation technique to the entire human race just like that? What''s more, these people consider it as a trash cultivation technique when they fail toprehend it.'' Even though he was a human, Ajax knew didn''t have a good opinion on the entire human race when he looked from the macroscopic perspective after seeing how the top sects in the Zrochester province dominated the entire province and didn''t even bother to save themon people. Actually, almost all cultivators didn''t bother about those who could not cultivate or low-level cultivators. What''s more, there would be various factions that always fight among themselves for more power and eventually die for it. ''Looks like that fallen genius wanted to make the entire human race powerful.'' Ajax knew that genius'' wish was good; however, what''s the use of bing powerful when they fight amongst themselves and die before the other races invade. "I sent all the necessary data you need to cultivate the ''Blessed refining technique''. You can enter that cave to cultivate." Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts with the old man''s words and before he could open his eyes, he was already teleported to the entrance of a cave. "Just think of me if you need anything." After saying that, Mostror disappeared from that ce, leaving Ajax alone. Chapter 1225 - Insane Requirements ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment when he saw how the old man disappeared all of a sudden; however, he didn''t think much about it. ''Anyway, I have to check how I can cultivate the Blessed refining technique.'' Ajax shook his head and thought of what he had to do now. ''Moreover, I have four of normal bloodline orb and adding the total number of normal bloodline points in them, I have around 250000 points.'' Other than changing his main cultivation technique, Ajax had other things to do like absorbing the normal bloodline points from the bloodline orbs and converting them into the respective bloodline points to upgrade his bloodlines. ''Since I have more than 40 days left to stay in the bloodline training grounds, I will settle everything regarding the main cultivation technique and the bloodline points.'' Ajax didn''t forget about going to the Ylercester province to participate in the Purplestone world''s contest for geniuses. So, he wanted to wrap everything before leaving the training grounds in the next 40 days which was equivalent to 4 days in the outside world. Soon, he entered the cave in front of him which had enough light along with the pure essence of nature. ''System, so how can I learn the cultivation technique?'' After finding a spot in the center of the cave where the essence of nature was very pure and asked the system regarding cultivating the ''Blessed refining technique''. ''Ding, There are two methods. ''Ding, One, the host can follow the traditional method of cultivating it slowly by trial and error method just like other cultivators; however, it takes years just to get a glimpse of it. If you don''t have enough talent, you will never even get that glimpse. ''It''s what my master said.'' Ajax nodded his head and waited for the system to say about the second method. ''Ding, Two, the host has to fulfil three requirements and as soon as you canplete those requirements, the system will directly help you learn that cultivation technique instantly. ''Really? What are they?'' After seeing thetest system notification, Ajax could not help but be excited becausepared to sitting in the same ce to cultivate a cultivation technique, it was way better for him to fulfil the requirements set by the system. So, without wasting any time, he directly asked about the requirements. ''Ding, The requirement to learn the level 1 Blessed refining technique. 1) One million units of the essence of nature. 2) Elemental essence of at least three elemental spirits. Note:- More essence of nature and drops of elemental essence, the better. 3) Circte the crude version of the ''Blessed refining technique'' at least thrice in an actual fight for ten times. 4) Sacrifice at least one skill. 5) Sacrifice at least one cultivation technique. Note:- The more skills and cultivation techniques you sacrifice, the better it is for you. 6) Kill at least one low-level demon king. Note:- More number of demon kings and the higher the strength of those demon kings, the better. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with a big list of requirements to learn the level 1 Blessed refining technique. ''What? Six requirements and each one of them is difficult even for a genius cultivator.'' Reading the requirements one by one, Ajax was surprised more and more and felt that not even a genius cultivator could fulfil all the requirements. "Just one million units of the essence of nature is enough for the genius cultivators to fail." Ajax shook his head and muttered, ''Even, I, who has a 10 percent chance of stealing my target''s spirit consciousness by killing them, only has a spirit consciousness capacity of 98000 units.'' That''s right! Other than his main cultivation technique ''Heaven and earth refining cultivation technique'', Ajax had another cultivation technique named ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique''. The ability to steal the other person''s spirit consciousness was an effect of this cultivation technique. ''Spirit consciousness.'' With a thought, Ajax checked his spirit consciousness which was still short of 2000 units to reach 100000 units of spirit consciousness'' capacity. ''Ding, Spirit consciousness:- 1200 units / 98000 units of the essence of nature. As he fought with the four guardians and used so much essence of nature, it was empty. ''Nevertheless,? the first requirement is not a problem for me.'' In the next second, he ordered the system, ''System, re-connect the essence of nature gained from my summons'' killings back to me.'' ''Ding, Changing the settings back to default. You can always change it as you want. That''s right! Once he started his world-destroying mission, Ajax started getting millions of essence of nature and he was unable to utilize it because of his limited spirit consciousness'' capacity and the King grade spirit gourd. So, he asked the system to share all the essence of nature gained to him and all his summons equally. Even after that, there were a lot of units getting wasted. So, with the system''s suggestion, he sent the remaining grey dwarf world''s world core. ''Let''s see how long it will take for me to fulfil the first requirement.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he waited for some system notifications. ''Ding, The elemental spirit Volcanis killed more than 100 elite general realm scourge demons and gained 100000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The elemental spirit Cerauno killed 1000 rank 5 sword demons and gained 100000 units of the essence of nature. . . . . It didn''t take much time for him to receive the system notifications as his empty spirit consciousness was filled in no time. ''Ding, The system detected that the host''s spirit consciousness and the king grade spirit gourd arepletely full. Please spend the essence of nature or select a summon or world to shift the flow of the essence of nature. Other than his spirit consciousness, Ajax''s king grade spirit gourd had a capacity of 100000 units of the essence of nature. Even that one also got filled in no time as the system suggested Ajax change the direction of flow. ''I want to sacrifice all the iing essence of nature.'' Chapter 1226 - [Bonus ]Two Requirements Are Fulfilled # Bonus chapter for reaching 100 golden tickets. ''I want to sacrifice all the iing essence of nature into the first requirement in learning the Blessed refining technique.'' The moment he received the warning from the system regarding the extra essence of nature, he didn''t hesitate to sacrifice it to fulfil the first requirement. ''Since the system mentioned that the ''more I sacrifice, the better it will be'' I will go all out and pour as much essence of nature.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he revealed an excited smile on his face. Even though the system didn''t mention what would be better for him, Ajax could more or less guess it was rted to the special effects he would receive after cultivating the cultivation technique. ''Ding, The first requirement of sacrificing one million units of the essence of nature is fulfilled. ''Ding, Do you want to continue sacrificing more units of the essence of nature? In no time, Ajax had already sacrificed one million units of the essence of nature as he received the system notifications asking him whether he wanted to continue or stop sacrificing more units of the essence of nature. ''No. I will continue it till I fulfil other requirements.'' Ajax didn''t hesitate before ordering the system to continue to take more and more units of the essence of nature. As long as the four teams that went on the ''World-destroying expedition'', Ajax would notck a single unit of the essence of nature. ''For others, all those requirements might be difficult but for me, they are not.'' What Ajax said was right because he felt all those requirements were impossible to fulfil from a regr cultivator''s perspective; however, for him, those requirements were nothing and he could fulfil them in no time. ''Since the first requirement is taken care of, let''s go for the second requirement and it was rted to the elemental spirits. Time to enter the inner world.'' With a thought, Ajax directly entered the inner world and ordered all his elemental spirits to gather in front of the ''Tree of blessing''. "Master, you finally came. I was bored to death." As Ajax was waiting for the elemental spirits, the spirit of the ''Tree of blessing'' came out of the tree andined to Ajax with a sad look on her face. "Stopining. I am here now, right?" Soon, Ajax and Gloria talked about some things and it was mostly Gloria speaking whatever came to her mind as Ajax listened to her patiently while waiting for his elemental spirits to gather. In less than five minutes, other than the elemental spirits that went on the world-destroying expedition, everyone gathered in front of the ''Tree of blessing''. "Everyone, I want all your elemental essence for the next few weeks or even months. Are you okay with it?" Even though he was their summoning master, for an elemental spirit, their elemental essence was very valuable and Ajax didn''t want to use his position as their master to forcefully take all their essence. "It''s a small matter, summoning master." "Yes, summoning master. You just need to say the word and we will even give our lives for you not to mention our elemental essences." The reason they were able to be so powerful in such a short time was because of Ajax and the resources he provided for them. Now, their master was asking their elemental essence which they could generate one drop for every 15 days. So, they didn''t even hesitate to nod their heads. "Thank you. I know I can rely on your guys." Ajax replied with a satisfied smile on his face as he asked, "So, how many of you have elemental essence in your bodies?" "I have saved two drops of spatial essence for the ''Tree of blessing''." "Same here. I have two drops of time essence." "I have one drop of ice essence." "One drop of light essence." "One drop of metal essence." . . Except for Porphis and Halo, everyone only had one unit of elemental essence and everyone was saving them for the ''Tree of blessing''. When an elemental spirit gives three drops of elemental essence for the ''Tree of blessing'', it would give that elemental spirit some kind of return gift. "Good." Nodding his head, Ajax ordered the system, ''System, collect them all.'' ''Ding, Collected a total of 18 drops of elemental essences from different elemental spirits. As soon as the system collected the elemental essences, it informed Ajax regarding the number of drops. "18 drops? Excellent." Until now, Ajax formed contracted with a total of 23 elemental spirits both official and non-officialbined. Among them he sent six elemental spirits on the world-destroying expedition, leaving him with a total of 16 elemental spirits. Except for five or six elemental spirits who were at level 2 or level 3 elite general realm, everyone had already be level 9 or level 10 elite general realm elemental spirits. So, everyone could condense the elemental essence at a good speed. ''Ding, System detected that the host can fulfil the second requirement with the elemental essences. Do you want to sacrifice the three drops of elemental essences? In the next second, the system mentioned Ajax about the second requirement. ''I know¡­I know.'' That''s the reason why Ajax collected the elemental essence from all the elemental spirits in the inner world before agreeing to the system notification. ''Ding, Three drops of rarest elemental essences are sacrificed in learning the ''Blessed refining technique'' Note:- Two drops of time elemental essence and one drop of spatial elemental essence. ''Ding, Do you want to sacrifice more drops of the elemental essences? ''Sure. I will be collecting more drops of elemental essence in theing days. Just take it.'' Ajax gave full permission to the system in taking all the elemental essences until he fulfilled other requirements just like the first requirement that was overflowing with the essence of nature. "Everyone, I hope you will condense more elemental essence in theing days." "Yes, summoning master." After leaving some more instructions, Ajax left the inner world and muttered, ''If only I can summon them into the training grounds, it would have been nicer¡­sigh'' Chapter 1227 - Sacrificing The Cultivation Technique In the bloodline training grounds, elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts can''t be summoned. Earlier, he asked his master Mostror that since he became his disciple, can he summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts? Of course, he was not going to summon all of them as it would shock Mostror for sure and he didn''t want to reveal his summons until hepletely knew about his master. The answer he got was ''No. In these training grounds, it is impossible to summon them. The reason why it can''t be done was that it was created for the sole purpose of increasing the bloodline of a cultivator but not his elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts.'' ''Sigh¡­they would have enjoyed the 10x boost in the time speed.'' Ajax sighed as he shook his head because if his elemental spirits could use the time speed to condense the elemental essence, he would have a lot of them to sacrifice. ''Ding, Do you want to link the time speed of the inner world with that of the bloodline training grounds? All of a sudden, a system notification appeared in his head that made Ajax shocked for a moment before being pleasantly surprised. ''What? It can be adjusted like that?'' With a face full of smiles he didn''t wait for the system''s reply as he directly agreed to link the time speed. ''Ding, The inner world''s time is synchronized with the time that the host''s body experiences. ''That''s it? Excellent.'' The process was simple as he felt great after the inner world''s time was synchronized with the bloodline training grounds'' time. ''Since the first two requirements are taken care of, let''s see the third requirement.'' Even though he had already fulfilled the first two requirements, Ajax wanted to awaken good special effects when he learned the ''Blessed refining technique''. So, he was sacrificing as much as possible for the requirements that were easy to get for him. Nevertheless, after settling the first two requirements, he checked the third requirement. ''Ding, 3) Circte the crude version of the ''Blessed refining technique'' at least thrice in an actual fight for ten times. ''I think I have to wait until I go out of the bloodline training grounds to fulfil their requirements¡­wait a second. Will fighting the spirit beasts in the training grounds count?'' To fulfil this requirement, he had to fight an opponent; however, during the fight, he had to circte the cultivation technique ''Blessed refining technique''; however, it was just a crude version. ording to the knowledge he received from his master Mostror regarding the ''Blessed refining technique'', there was a crude version of how to circte it; however, each cultivator''s constitution is different, to begin with. So, even if he circted a cultivation technique from a genius who already mastered it to a high level, other than wasting his time, he would not receive a single benefit. ''However, since the system is asking me to circte the crude version, I will just do as it says and fulfil the requirements.'' Nevertheless, there was no harm in circting the crude version other than wasting time. So, Ajax didn''t have any problems in fulfilling that requirement. ''Anyway, I will fight more spirit beasts after settling the other requirements and the bloodline points as I already have a lot of them.'' However, Ajax didn''t rush out to test whether fighting the spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds count to his requirement because he still has a lot of bloodline points to use. Moreover, from now on, he would get twice the amount of normal bloodline pointspared to before. So, it would be a waste to not use such a good opportunity. ''Fourth and fifth requirements require me to sacrifice my skill and a cultivation technique; however, I have limited skills and it was even more terrible for my cultivation techniques.'' Next, Ajax nced at the fourth and fight requirements and shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. ''Show me all my skills and cultivation techniques separately.'' Nevertheless, since he had to sacrifice something in order to receive bigger benefits, Ajax asked the system to show him the list of skills and cultivation techniques. ''Ding, Cultivation techniques:- Heaven and earth refining technique, Mysterious spirit cultivation technique, Lightning cloud steps and Mountain splitting sword technique. ''Ding, Skills:- Advanced spatial des, Demon w, shadow clone, Dimensional shackles, Countdown, Emergency ghost. Soon, the system opened two windows in front of him for both skills and the cultivation techniques separately. ''Sigh¡­only four cultivation techniques and six skills. Very few.'' Looking at the two holographic screens, Ajax could not help but sigh and started checking which skills and cultivation techniques he should sacrifice. ''Mysterious spirit cultivation technique and Lightning cloud steps are out of the equation as they are very useful for mepared to others.'' Ajax directly removed the thought of removing those two cultivation techniques without any hesitation. Mysterious spirit cultivation technique would give him an additional increment in the capacity of the spirit consciousness whenever he made a breakthrough in his cultivation along with the ability to steal 10 percent of his enemies'' spirit consciousness whom he killed with his own hands. As for the Lightning cloud steps, it gives him a good speed boost along with the ability to teleport short distances. ''Even if the special effects I receive from cultivating Blessed refining technique might be good or even better than these cultivation techniques; however, I don''t want to take? that risk when these cultivation techniques are already very useful to him.'' Ajax might seem like a greedy cultivator on the surface; however, he matured a lot during the past year and knew ''It is better to have a bird in hand than two birds in a bush''. ''Now, among the remaining two, I can sacrifice the Heaven and earth refining technique as I can learn the Blessed refining technique that can act as the main cultivation technique.'' Ajax looked at the two other cultivation techniques and decided on which cultivation technique he had to sacrifice. *** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1228 - Hidden System Feature ''Ding, Are you sure about sacrificing your main cultivation technique ''Heaven and earth refining technique''? After Ajax decided to sacrifice his main cultivation technique, he was asked for the final confirmation by the system. ''Of course. I am willing.'' Even though it was a good cultivation technique, to Ajax, it didn''t make much difference for him because whenever his spirit consciousness and the special spirit gourd be empty, he would refill them with the help of his summons. Compared to the amount of the essence of nature he received by his current main cultivation technique, the amount of the essence of nature he received from his summon''s killings were far better. ''Ding, The main cultivation technique ''Heaven and earth refining technique'' has been sacrificed sessfully. ''Ding, From now on you will lose all the benefits of that cultivation technique and even if you forcefully circte that technique in your body, you will not get any benefits. ''Ding, The fifth requirement for the ''Blessed refining technique'' has been fulfilled. You can continue to sacrifice more cultivation techniques to receive better results. Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with a series of system notifications. ''However, the same ''Note'' of sacrificing more will give better results applicable for the cultivation techniques and the skills also.'' Ajax thought of the note below the requirements and felt he should do something regarding it. However, he didn''t want to sacrifice the only sword technique he had. Moreover,pared to the Heaven and earth refining technique which was basically useless for him, the sword technique increases his attack power. ''Should I cultivate some easy cultivation techniques using system'' help?'' Since he could basically learn the cultivation techniques by paying a certain unit of the essence of nature, Ajax thought of this. ''Let''s see whether it works or not.'' With a thought, Ajax summoned a beast skin book from his inventory. ''Ding, Detected a cultivation technique ''Iron skin strengthening technique''. Do you want to cultivate it? Soon, the system notification appeared in his head. ''I did a good thing by storing these manuals in the inventory; instead of throwing them aside.'' The book in his hands was one of the many cultivation manuals he had stored in his inventory after collecting the loot from his targets. Even though there were not many who carried the manuals for their cultivation techniques, Ajax still collected a ton of manuals that were sitting in his inventory. ''Yes.'' Ajax nodded his head. ''Ding, The host needs to pay 100 units of the essence of nature to learn the mortal grade cultivation technique. ''Only 100 units? Take it.'' After dealing with the essence of nature in millions of units, Ajax felt 100 units was nothing in his eyes. ''Ding, 100 units of the essence of nature are deducted and the host learned the mortal grade cultivation technique ''Iron skin strengthening technique.'' Ajax felt the foreign knowledge in his head as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling. Even though it was a lowly cultivation technique, Ajax was hopeful for sacrificing more cultivation techniques. So, he was in a good mood. ''Time to make use of all those manuals.'' He didn''t sacrifice the cultivation technique directly; instead, he decided to cultivate all the cultivation techniques in his inventory. ''Ding, Detected that the host has an abundant essence of nature in his spirit consciousness. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade the mortal grade cultivation technique to earth grade and after that earth grade to heaven grade? ''What? I can upgrade the grade of a cultivation technique?'' Just as he was about to take out more cultivation manuals from his inventory, Ajax received a couple of system notifications in his head. ''Ding, Yes. The host can upgrade cultivation to heaven grade using the essence of nature. Note:- It is a hidden feature that unlocks only when the host learns a mortal grade cultivation technique and it was avable in the current version of the system which is 3.0. ''Hidden feature?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before bing excited. When the system bound to him, Ajax received all the necessary details of how to use the system and in that information, he learned about hidden features. However, it was not easy to unlock them as they have certain requirements to fulfil before they unlock on their own. The thing is, Ajax had never learned a mortal grade cultivation technique, almost all his cultivation techniques are heaven grade except for the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique whose grade was unknown. However, with the effects that it gives, Ajax knows it is at least a legend grade cultivation technique or even mythical grade cultivation. ''Anyway, there is no use thinking about the past now. Let''s make sure to use the feature to the fullest.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax decided to upgrade the lowest grade cultivation technique he had ever learned. ''Ding, Upgrading a mortal grade cultivation technique to earth grade required 100000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade it? ''Yes'' Even though it seemed a lot for others, it was nothing for Ajax, who casually nodded his head. ''Ding, Iron skin strengthening technique upgraded to earth grade cultivation technique named ''Silver skin strengthening technique''. ''Nice'' Ajax nodded his head and he didn''t even bother to check the effects of the cultivation technique fearing he might be unwilling to sacrifice it after checking it. Instead, he ordered the system, ''I want to upgrade it to Heaven grade.'' ''Ding, It required one million units of the essence of nature. Are you sure about it? ''Yes.'' Ajax adjusted the settings to direct the essence of nature in upgrading the cultivation technique for a moment before putting it back to overfill the first requirement. ''Ding, The system received one million units of the essence of nature regarding the upgradation of the cultivation technique. ''Ding, Silver strengthening skin technique (Earth grade) upgraded to Gold strengthening skin technique (Heaven grade). ''As long as I have a cultivation technique, I easily upgrade them to heaven grade¡­time to repeat the process.'' Ajax was excited to see how easy it was for him to upgrade the cultivation techniques. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1229 - [Bonus ]Shattered Disciple Once he finished upgrading the cultivation technique to heaven grade, Ajax didn''t bother to check the effect or didn''t sacrifice it directly. Instead, he took out all the manuals he had in his inventory. ''System, ssify the cultivation manuals I have right now depending on their grades.'' Ajax felt upgrading the cultivation techniques one by one would take a lot of time. So, he put the system to work. ''Ding, Currently, there are a total of 519 cultivation techniques in the host''s possession. ''Ding, 405 Mortal grade, 110 Earth grade and 4 heaven grade cultivation techniques. ''Ding, Do you want to cultivate them? The system ssified them based on their grades and asked Ajax whether he wanted to cultivate them. ''System, nothing will happen to me if I learn all these cultivation techniques, right?'' Ajax asked the system because the number was too scary for him and felt whether his head could take so much at once. ''Ding, Nope. Nothing will happen because the soul space of a being is so vast that even the knowledge rting to the five million cultivation techniques can be stored at once, not to mention the measly amount of 500 cultivation techniques. ''Phew¡­let''s start with the mortal grade cultivation techniques then.'' Ajax heaved a sigh ofo relief as he started learning them ording to the grade. ''Anyway, I am going to sacrifice them all. So, there is no need to check each and every single one of them.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax gave the permission to send all the knowledge regarding the cultivation techniques into his head. ''Ding, 405 mortal grade cultivation techniques require 40500 units of the essence of nature to learn. ''Ding, Deducted 40500 units of the essence of nature and the host has sessfully learned them all. Soon, Ajax felt a huge amount of foreign knowledge enter into his head and this was his first time receiving such a huge amount of knowledge at once. ''Now, it is time to upgrade them all.'' Ajax didn''t waste his time checking the names of the cultivation techniques and directly started upgrading them. ¡­. In the never-returning cave. "Uncle Mostror, what are you saying? Why did you leave the organization all of a sudden?" The handsome young man asked an old man with a shocked look on his face as though he was unable to believe what he just heard. The old man was none other than Mostror whereas the handsome man was none other than the half-human and half demon that conducts the trials to the young men. "Zanath, it is finally time for me to leave the organization. I only stayed there to find out more about the ambush on my sworn brother and I finally found it." The old man replied with a heavy look on his face.. "What? Who is it?" Zanath released his emperor aura as he asked Mostror with a serious look on his face. "With your strength, you can''t even defeat his subordinates. First, consolidate your strength as you only became an emperor realm cultivator recently." However, Mostror shook his head as he didn''t answer Zanath''s question. "But, when you have enough strength to go against the traitors in our organization, I will definitely tell you. Until then, promise me that you won''t cause unnecessary troubles with the organization." "Uncle Mostror, so it is really the bastards in our organization that backstabbed the master." Zanath clenched his fists when he heard Mostror'' words; however, deep down, he knew that he was really not strong enough to fight those old monsters in the organization. "Zanath, if Aron saw you right now, he would be very proud." Seeing that, Mostror could not help but say those words as he continued, "Even though Aron took you in as just a servant, you are able to catch up to his disciple." That''s right! The rtion between Aron and Zanath was Master-servant and not Master and disciple. Moreover, Aron only gave Zanath a few pointers along with a few cultivation resources from time to time as a payment for the menial task done by Zanath. However, Zanath was focused when it came to cultivation and as he diligently cultivated to reach his current cultivation. "Uncle Mostror, stop joking. How can I catch up to young master'' cultivation?" Zanath shook his head as he politely denied the old man Mostror'' words. "You are as modest as the first time I see you." Mostror revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked, "Speaking of your young master, where the hell is he?" "He is unable to ept the fact that fact is gone for a century now and he is still searching for the master''s soul." Zanath was a little depressed when he said those words because, back in his days, his young master was the only one who was capable of learning his master''s ''Blessed refining technique'' and sessfully became his master''s personal disciple. Later on, with the help of his master, his cultivation continued to soar and eventually reached peak king realm within just a decade. Just when his young master was about to break into the emperor''s realm, he received the news of his master'' death which shattered his young master''s heart. Later on, he stopped cultivating and started searching for his master''s soul in different worlds. "Sigh¡­he was such a great disciple; however, he was wasting all his talent." Mostror saw with his own eyes that Aron'' body disintegrated into nothingness by thebined forces of other races. No matter how many times he told Aron''s disciple to ept the truth, he was unable to ept the truth, making him continuously sigh. "Anyway, let him be. If he doesn''t find an answer, he will be unable to follow his cultivation journey." Mostror shook his head and replied, "By the way, don''t send anyone into the bloodline training grounds. From now on, it doesn''t belong to the organization; instead, it is mine." Soon, the old man briefly exined how he took Ajax as his disciple and wanted to train him. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1230 - Ancient Hermit Refining Technique "Since I am not in the organization, you no longer need to conduct trials." "..." After exining everything, Mostrorsaid those words and Zanath remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. "What about the participants we are training?" Zanath asked about a few disciples that were rejected by Mostror''s previous organization; however, Mostror asked Zanath to train them as he liked their personalities. "I think you have trained them enough." Mostror thought for a moment before saying, "Since they are on the verge of bing King realm cultivators, ask them to choose their own path. They are free to do whatever they want just like what your master said." "If only the master was here, he would have helped them awaken a powerful skill in them." Zanath knew how powerful his master was and could not help butment about it. "If only the entire human race was united, he would have not died." Mostror shook his head as he replied, "I will go back and check on my new personal disciple. If there is something, just contact me like always." "Yes, Uncle Mostror." Zanath respectfully bowed to Mostror as he watched the old man disappear from the never-returning cave. ''One I will be strong, I will try my best to unite the entire human race.? So that humans won''t suffer in the hands of the other powerful race, mainly the demon race.'' After the old man Mostror left, Zanath clenched his fists as he swore to make the humans united. Even though Zanath was half-demon and half-human, he supported the humans because his mother was a human woman who was impregnated by a demon andter died. That''s the main reason he decided to make the entire human race united. So, other women suffer like his mother. With that thought in his mind, Zanath also disappeared from the never-returning cave. ..... In the Bloodlinie training grounds. In the cave, Ajax learned all the moortal grade cultivation techniques and upgraded them to heaven grade. He repeated the same thing for the earth grade cultivation techniques that required only one upgrade to the heaven grade with the same price of one million units of the essence of nature. Finally, he learned the four heaven grade cultivation techniques just by spending 4000 units of the essence of nature, making Ajax feel like collecting more heaven grade cultivation. ''Among the four heaven grade cultivation techniques, three of them belong to the three top sects of the Zrochester province. I wonder which faction''s cultivation technique does thisst one belong to.'' Unlike the normal cultivation techniques, Ajax was attracted to the four heaven grade cultivation techniques in his inventory. Just from the names, he was able to find the origins of the three cultivation techniques; however, he didn''t have a clue about the fourth one. ''Ding, The host has a total of 519 new heaven grade cultivation techniques. Do you want to sacrifice them? While Ajax was wondering about the fourth cultivation technique, he received the system notification. ''Just wait a moment.'' Even though Ajax thought not to check the information on the cultivation techniques, the fourth piqued his interest. So, he decided to check it before sacrificing all of them in a single go. ''Ding, Cultivation technique name:- Ancient Hermit refining technique (Part 1). Grade:- Heaven (Legend) Effect:- As long as the cultivator swears to protect a part of thend and the people in it from the other races, he would gain incredible stamina and battle prowess. Note:- However, the cultivator should not mingle with the people of thend and maintain a hermit lifestyle. Moreover, they can''t receive any of those special battle prowess while fighting the people of thend. More information:- An inheritance technique of the eight hidden families of the Zrochester province that fell into the hands of the assassin sect leader after they got assassinated by the assassins and other forces of the Zrochester province. ''What? Ths cultivation technique belongs to the hidden families?'' After checking the information on the cultivation technique, Ajax was shocked to see that it belonged to the hidden families of the Zrochester province that were massacred a decade back. ''So, they were really massacred by the assassin sect.'' Ajax clenched his fists for a moment; however when he saw the ''Other forces'' were also included, he tried to ask the system about it. However, the system seemed clueless about it or it just acted as it doesn''t know. ''Good thing, I checked the information on thisst cultivation technique which seemed to be a legend grade cultivation technique.'' Since the system mentioned whatever he learned was part 1 of the cultivation technique and there was still another part to make it a legend grade cultivation technique. ''Even though it is a good cultivation technique, it doesn''t suit me well as it will tie the cultivator to a particr region.'' Ajax didn''t have any ns to keep this cultivation technique as he felt it was useless for him. Moreover, he would be getting a mythical grade cultivation technique when he fulfils all the requirements. ''Nevertheless, I can give just it to Captain Edmond as he was the chosen one in his generation among the hidden families. As for what he will do with it, I don''t care.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax asked, ''System, can I transfer theplete knowledge regarding this cultivation to others? Just like how my master Mostror transferred.'' Since his master was able to do it, Ajax felt that the system might possibly do it. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, Only emperor realm cultivators could do such a thing called ''Knowledge transfer''. ''Ding, However, the system can write down everything regarding that cultivation technique at the cost of one million units of the essence of nature. Soon, the system replied to Ajax, making him understand a new thing called ''Knowledge transfer'' was possible for only Emperor realm cultivators. ''Sure. Go ahead.'' Ajax nodded his head and ordered, "Other than that, sacrifice the remaining 518 new heaven grade cultivation techniques." **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1231 - Sacrificing A Skill ''Ding, One million units of the essence of nature are consumed for a detailed cultivation method for the ''Ancient Hermit refining technique''. ''Ding, 518 new heaven grade cultivation techniques are sacrificed. You can continue to sacrifice more in the future until you fulfil the other requirements. Soon, two system notifications rang in his head, making him reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Sure ..sure. I will do that.'' Even though Ajax said that he felt 519 cultivation techniques of heaven grade are more than for sacrificing. At least that''s what he thought though. Nevertheless, if he had time, he would cultivate more cultivation techniques from the other provinces or other worlds as he just cultivated and sacrificed all the cultivation techniques from the Zrochester province. For some reason, the system was encouraging Ajax to sacrifice more and more and at the same time, Ajax felt more confident in getting the good benefits by learning the ''Blessed refining technique''. ''Is this the new manual for the cultivation technique ''Ancient Hermit refining technique''?'' A golden coloured book that was made up of some unknown material appeared in his head. It was shining so brightly that made Ajax close his eyes for a moment before slowly checking it out when the light disappeared. ''It''s so clear.'' There were all kinds of runes and symbols and after seeing the insides of the book, Ajax marvelled at how detailed the information was in it. ''This is crude cirction method of the cultivation technique; however, it says that it is a crude method that could be easily adjusted by any cultivator with enough foundation.'' The more he read it, the more marvelled Ajax became. ''It looks like a book from heaven.'' Overall, this was the conclusion that Ajax came to after checking it out. ''I hope Captain Edmond will like this gift.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax silently kept that manual into his inventory before focusing on another requirement. ''Since sacrificing the cultivation techniques is over, it''s time to discard the skills.'' Ajax was not as excited as he was back when he was sacrificing the cultivation techniques because, unlike the cultivation techniques, skill can''t be learned that easily. ''For this requirement, I will just sacrifice only a single skill and will not go for more.'' Ajax was determined for this requirement and checked his skill list. ''Ding, Skills:- Advanced spatial des, Poison Demon w, shadow clone, Dimensional shackles, Countdown, Emergency ghost, Absolute darkness. ''There are no useless skills, only less useful skills.'' As Ajax fought with armies of the demons, Ajax knew which skill was less useful and he decided to sacrifice it. ''Poison demon w¡­I will sacrifice it.'' Even though it was useful for him in closebat to tear apart his enemies, he couldn''t help but sacrifice it to learn his new main cultivation technique that was a mythical grade. ''Ding, Skill Poison demon w will be sacrificed. ''Ding, The host has sessfully fulfilled the fourth requirement; however, you can continue to sacrifice more skills if you want. ''No¡­no more skills.'' Ajax shook his head because the remaining skills are useful in their own way. ''Advanced spatial des is a long-range and an AOE skill that I can''t sacrifice.'' ''Shadow clone is a must-have skill as I can confuse my enemies with it and have good support when fighting long fights.'' ''Dimension shackles. With it, I can even imprison king realm cultivators. Even though it was only for a short time, as long as my cultivation increases, I can even imprison emperor realm cultivators'' with it.'' ''Emergency ghost, I can simply call it my second life.'' ''Countdown is still at level 2, but it is a good skill rted to time that there is no way I wll give it up.'' Ajax checked each and every single one of his skills and he instantly rejected the idea of sacrificing them. ''Among all the skills, I am betting thisst skill will be a very powerful skill.'' While saying that, Ajax checked the information on the upgrade skill ''Countdown''. ''Ding, Skill name:- Countdown (Level 2). Effect:- It will increase the battle prowess of the host by 10 times and decrease the battle prowess of three of his targets by 10 times for one minute. Cooldown:- five minutes. ''Previously, it was only three times but now it is suddenly boosted to 10 times. Also,pared to the 10 seconds, I can do a lot of things in those minutes.'' Ajaxpared the level 2 ''Countdown'' with level 1 ''Countdown'' and he was looking forward to the level 3 ''Countdown''. ''I am very sure, if I upgrade it to the maximum level, I might be invincible for a certain time.'' This was what Ajax was looking forward to and he could not wait to see that daye. ''Ding, The host has left with only two more requirements to learn the level 1 Blessed refining technique. ''Ding, 3) Circte the crude version of the ''Blessed refining technique'' at least thrice in an actual fight for ten times. 6) Kill at least one low-level demon king. Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts of ''Invincible'' with the sudden appearance of the system and checked the two requirements he had toplete. ''Killing a low-level demon king is? not a big problem as I can just open portals to the smaller demon worlds when the devourer eagle king''s skills reset and sacrifice dozens of demon kings without a problem.'' Ajax muttered to himself while looking at thest requirement. ''As for the third requirement, I will test it out after settling the normal bloodline orbs that I got from defeating the guardian spirit beasts.'' Ajax had already nned it. So, he didn''t waste much time before clearing away all his thoughts and took a deep breath before focusing on the bloodline orbs sitting in his body and inventory. ''Ding, Abyssal beast god bloodline points:- 900 points ''Ding, A level 4 abyssal beast god bloodline requires 10000 abyssal beast god bloodline points. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1232 - [Bonus ]Mega Merge And Dragon Transformation Once Ajax thought of using up his normal bloodline points along with the normal bloodline orbs, he checked the already existing abyssal beast god bloodline points and how many he needed to upgrade it to level 4. ''10000 points? That''s one million normal bloodline points.'' Ajax was not surprised by that number as he could already guess it. Moreover, the effects of the bloodline be close to heaven-defying with each upgrade. So, it was only right for the next upgrade to be that high. ''Even with all the bloodline points, I will not be able to upgrade it.'' When he thought about it, Ajax felt it was better to upgrade his other two bloodlines to level 3 before focusing on a level 4 bloodline. ''Convert the normal bloodline points into Elemental spirit merger bloodline points and upgrade it to level 3.'' Ajax knew he had around 300 elemental spirit merger bloodline points and around 80000 normal bloodline points in his body. So, he decided to use them all to upgrade that bloodline to level 3. ''Ding, Conversion of 800 elemental spirit merger bloodline points is sessfully done. ''Ding, The Elemental spirit merger bloodline is sessfully upgraded to level 3 using 1000 elemental spirit merger bloodline points. Without even using the normal bloodline orbs, he already upgraded the elemental spirit merger blooding to level 3. ''Let''s see what are the changes after upgrading its level.'' With a thought, a holographic screen appeared in front of him regarding the details of the level 3 elemental spirit merger bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Elemental spirit merger (Level 3). Effect:- 1) Can merge two elemental spirits into a single elemental spirit. The battle prowess of the newly formed elemental spirit will increase by 10 times for 10 minutes. 2) Can merge three elemental spirits into a single elemental spirit. The battle prowess of the newly formed elemental spirit will increase by 20 times for 5 minutes. Special skill:- Mega merge. Mega merge:- A skill that can be used only when the bloodline is activated where he can merge five elemental spirits into a single elemental spirit that has the skills from all five elemental spirits. More information:- As for the battle prowess, the elemental spirit will have cultivation of one full major realm depending on the average of five elemental spirit''s cultivation. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked with the changes in the existing effect and what''s more, there is a special skill. ''5 times of battle prowess became 10 and 10 times of battle prowess became 20 whereas the time remained the same.'' Ajax still remembered the effects of the level 2 elemental spirit merger bloodline and with a nce he could tell what had changed, making him nod his head with a satisfied look. However,pared to those changes, what made Ajax excited was the special skill ''Mega merge''. ''Sigh¡­I can only use it when I resume my world-destroying conquest.'' Even though it was a powerful upgrade in his whole battle prowess, Ajax could not openly test it as he would be a genius that was hunted by the human race. ''At that time, I can only hide from the humans. So, it is better to remain low-key.'' Ajax knew it was better to control his urge rather than be hunted by the entire human race. ''Anyway, let''s upgrade the third bloodline.'' Currently, time is of the essence for Ajax, the sooner he spends all his normal bloodline points, the faster he could start umting them. At the same time, he could n which bloodline he needs to focus on next after seeing the effects of all three bloodlines. ''Break two normal bloodline orbs with 75000 points and 25000 points.'' With a thought, he broke two orbs and instantly the space where all the normal bloodline points were stored was filled. ''Convert 90000 points of normal bloodline points into 900 aqua dragon bloodline points and upgrade that bloodline to level 3.'' Soon, he gave the orders to the system to convert and upgrade the bloodline. ''Ding, Sessfully converted all the bloodline points and upgraded the aqua dragon bloodline to level 3. Since there were already 100 points of aqua dragon bloodline points, Ajax only covered the remaining points that he required to upgrade the bloodline to level 3. ''Time to check.'' It was always a wonderful feeling for Ajax to check the information on the upgrade skills or cultivation techniques as they tend to give surprises from time to time. Moreover, a level 3 bloodline would definitely give a good surprise. At least, that''s what he thought so because the earlier two level 3 bloodlines gave him two skills. One gave the ability to tame the elemental spirits and the spirit beasts whereas the other one gave him an ability to merge five elemental spirits with one whole realm higher cultivation than their original cultivation. ''Ding, Bloodline Name:- Aqua dragon bloodline (level 3). Effects:- When the bloodline is activated, 10 times increment in the user''s battle prowess if he is on the ground and 20 times increment if he is in water for a time period of 10 minutes. Special skill:- Dragon transformation. Dragon transformation:- When the bloodline is activated, the user can temporarily transform into an aqua dragon for five minutes with 20 times increment in his battle prowess. Note:- It is not stackable with other bloodlines. ''What? Dragon transformation skill? Cool.'' Among all the spirit beasts, Ajax already likes dragons as they are truly strong. Even though water dragons are at the bottom of the dragon race, Ajax didn''t mind transforming into one of them. ''I can get to experience how it feels like a dragon.'' Compared to the battle prowess that came with the skill, Ajax was more excited to transform into a dragon. Other than a new skill, there were no changes in the existing effect, making Ajax shake his head; however, the skill was more than enough for him for the upgrade. ''Now, can I upgrade these bloodlines to level?'' **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1233 - Circulating The Crude Circulation Method ''Now, how can I upgrade these bloodlines to level 4?'' Soon, Ajax started worrying about the next problem as he looked at the three level 3 bloodlines on the user interface. Having more bloodlines was good as he could switch between them to surprise his enemies; however, at the same time, the problem would be upgrading them. As the level increases, the number of bloodline points required also increases by a lot. ''Looks like I wille back after the contest in the Ylercester province.'' Even though it was not mandatory for him to join the contest in the Ylercester province, Ajax didn''t want to miss the gathering of all the geniuses in the purple stone world who would fight one another. So, he decided toe back after the contest to farm for more normal bloodline points to upgrade his three bloodline points. ''That doesn''t mean, I am not going to farm more bloodline points in the next 40 days.'' While thinking that, Ajax broke the remaining normal bloodline orbs and converted them into Abyssal beast god bloodline. ''Ding, Normal bloodline orb worth 50000 points is used and converted into 500 Abyssal beast god bloodline points. ''Ding, Normal bloodline orb worth 100000 points is used and converted into 1000 Abyssal beast god bloodline points. ''Ding, Total abyssal beast god bloodline points:- 2400 points. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in his head informing him about the conversion of the bloodline points. Since his bloodline space could only hold 100000 normal bloodline points, Ajax had to break one orb after another before converting them as soon as possible; otherwise, they would be wasted. Among the three bloodlines, Ajax felt the abyssal beast god bloodline would be very useful for him as it would increase the battle prowess of all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. ''7600 abyssal beast god bloodline points to go.'' He needed 10000 abyssal beast god bloodline points to upgrade a level 3 bloodline to level 4. So, he decided to farm as much as possible for the next few days. ''It''s farming time.'' Once he settled all his normal bloodline orbs and the requirements to learn the ''Blessing refining technique'', Ajax didn''t waste any more time before rushing out of the cave to find the spirit beasts. ''I hope I can increase the third requirement too.'' There was another important thing for him to do right now and it was to find out whether the third requirement that was to circte the crude cirction method while fighting an opponent would work or not? So, he was hoping it would work while fighting the spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds. ''Roar'' Maybe it was because he had defeated four guardian spirit beasts or whether he became the personal disciple of the old man Mostror, the moment he rushed out of the cave, he found a dozen spirit beasts waiting for him. "You are right on time." Ajax didn''t care about the reason as he wanted to check the requirement while farming more bloodline points. ''Circte'' Seeing that the spirit beasts enter into the fighting mode, Ajax started cultivating the crude cirction method of the Blessed refining technique. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' While he was circting the crude method in his body, Ajax saw three spirit beasts jump at him and swipe their ws at him. ''Ding, The host started circting the crude method of the ''Blessed refining technique''. Please don''t move until you finish oneplete rotation. ''What the hell¡­I can''t move while circting the crude method?'' Ajax wanted to dodge the attacks; however, with the sudden appearance of the system notifications, Ajax was shocked for a moment because he didn''t expect something like that would happen. ''I have to defend it.'' Since the system is considering the spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds as his opponents, Ajax felt happy and decided to stop moving until he finished one rotation. ''sh'' ''sh'' The spirit beasts that jumped at him were only at rank 5 and they barely left some cuts, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Roar'' Seeing that their strongest attacks were of no use, the spirit beasts became even angrier as they looked at Ajax with bloodthirsty eyes. ''Swoosh'' This time, all twelve spirit beasts jumped at him, intending to kill him at any cost. ''Do you think I will sit tight while you kill me?'' In the mean, Ajax had alreadypleted one rotation of the crude cirction method. So, he could finally move. However, he was waiting for the spirit beasts toe at him. So that he could surprise them. ''Poison dem¡­.sigh. I sacrificed that skill, right?'' Ajax sighed because for the closebat, he would mostly go for the Poison demon w. Nevertheless, he quickly changed his ns and used ''Advanced spatial des''. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Before the spirit beasts could reach him, they were injured badly¡­that''s right! He was not intending to kill them yet as he had yet toplete two more rotations of the crude cirction method. ''While I circte it, you can rx on the ground.'' Since Ajax had already cut all the legs of the spirit beasts, they could not escape from the ce as he casually sat down to circte the crude method of the Blessed refining technique. ''The essence of nature in my spirit consciousness should reach every corner of the body in a particr order without missing a single acupoint or a meridian.'' Ajax was calm andposed as he slowly guided the essence of nature ording to the crude cirction method he received from the old man Mostror. Time continued to pass and in a sh, five minutes passed by as he sessfully finished two more rotations and adding to the previous one, he had circted the crude cultivation method three times. ''Ding, The host has sessfully circted the crude cultivation method three times duringbat with twelve spirit beasts. Soon, Ajax saw the system notification he was waiting for; however, in the next second, he received another system notification making his eyes wide open. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1234 - Obsessed With Bloodline Energy ''Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the third requirement which is circting the crude cultivation method three times during a fight for a total of ten times. If you want, you can continue circting the crude method in your fights to increase the count. ''What the¡­?'' Ajax was surprised with the sudden system notification that informed him that he actuallypleted the third requirement just like that. ''Didn''t the system say, I have to do that ten times? I did that only one time and it is already finished just like that?'' Ajax didn''t understand how he could finish the requirement all of a sudden. So, he opened the list of requirements to check the third requirement once again. ''Ding, 3) Circte the crude version of the ''Blessed refining technique'' at least thrice in an actual fight for ten times. (12 / 10 times). ''12 times?'' Seeing those numbers at the end, Ajax raised his brows as he looked at the 12 spirit beast corpses in front of him. ''Don''t tell me that the system counts the number of enemies I am fighting.'' Finally, Ajax understood how that requirement finished all of a sudden. ''Isn''t it a little too easy?'' This was the feeling in Ajax''s head; however, in the next second, he thought, ''If it is this easy, I should continue doing it and try to increase the count as much as possible.'' Just like other requirements, Ajax could continue to increase the count for the requirements. Moreover, Ajax felt it was not a big deal as he had a strong body that was refined by fire, lightning and pain. ''Ding, The host killed 12 rank 5 spirit beasts and gained 1200 (+1200) normal bloodline points. ''Oh. My master kept his promise.'' Seeing that additional bloodline points, Ajax could not help but think about his master''s promise. ''As long as you defeat all the guardian spirit beasts, you will be rewarded with double normal bloodline energy.'' These were his words to Ajax before he took Ajax as his personal disciple. ''Master, I don''t know how you are able to create these spirit beasts and store the bloodline energy in them, but, I think you will not catch up to my speed of farming the spirit beasts.'' While thinking that, Ajax continued his hunting of the spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds. He had only two goals for the next 40 days. The first one is to umte as many normal bloodline points as possible and convert them into the abyssal beast god bloodline points. As for the second one, increase the count for the third requirement by circting the crude cultivation method as much as possible. ''There is no time to waste.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax stopped wasting his time and went on a full killing spree. .... In the sky of the bloodline training grounds. ''Huh? Why did hee out of the cave?'' The old man who just returned after finishing his conversation with Zanath raised his brows when he saw that Ajax was not trying to learn the new cultivation technique. Instead, he was killing the spirit beasts in order to absorb the bloodline energy? ''Did he really give up on learning the ''Blessed refining technique''?'' Mostror knew how hard it was to learn the ''Blessed refining technique'' and even if Ajax gave up on it after trying it for a couple of months, Mostror would have felt it was okay. However, now, it''s been not even an hour, he has already given up, making him a little angry at his personal disciple. ''Brother Mostror, if you ever take a personal disciple, you should not rub your ideals on your personal disciple and let him or her make their own decisions.'' ''You are only there to guide them but not to force them¡­remember these words.'' Mostror, who was about to go down to berate Ajax, suddenly remembered the words of his sworn brother. In this world, if a personal disciple didn''t follow his master''s word or didn''t give his promise towards his master, it would be considered as rebelling and he would be kicked out of the master''s tutge without any second thoughts. However, Mostror'' sworn brother, Aron Alpineswift''s thoughts and ideals werepletely out of this world, making Mostror think that he was not from this world. Nevertheless, Mostror shook his head as it was not possible unless Aron was already an ascended being.'' ''Whatever, I will just let him cultivate on his own. If he really needs my help, I will give him that help; however, I will not interfere with his cultivation or decision.'' Even though the old man Mostror thought this in his head, deep down, his thoughts were different, ''I hope he asks me for some pointers.'' Mostror was a little envious of his sworn brother''s personal disciple who shook the entire human race by cultivating the ''Blessing refining technique''. Even though he didn''t want the entire humanity to know about Ajax, Mostror wanted his personal disciples to cultivate that technique as it would be very helpful in the future. ''Nevermind all these things." In the end, the old man Mostror shook his head as he looked at Ajax who was continuously killing the spirit beasts in the bloodline training grounds and thought, ''Why is he so obsessed with bloodline energy? Does he need the bloodline energy or what? Instead of killing them, you could have asked me and I would have given you the purest form of the bloodline energy.'' Mostror continuously shook his head as he said, ''Let''s see how long you are going to kill them.'' Even though he could give the pure bloodline energy to Ajax directly, Mostror was waiting to see how long would Ajax continue with his killing. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Mostror felt something when he saw how Ajax was fighting the spirit beasts. ''Let''s see what he is doing by sitting on the ground from time to time.'' As soon as he thought of this, Mostror intently looked at Ajax to see through him. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1235 - [Bonus ]Demon Emperors’ Failed Meeting ''Th..this is¡­he is circting the crude cultivation method while fighting the spirit beasts.'' In the Bloodline training grounds, nothing could escape Mostror'' eyes and when he focused on Ajax to check what he was doing amidst the fight, he found out without any difficulty. ''For a moment, I thought? he gave up on the Blessed refining technique.'' Mostror felt happy after finding out what Ajax was doing; however, in the next second, he became anxious. ''Why the hell would he risk doing such a thing?'' Generally, a cultivator needs a peaceful ce where he could focuspletely on learning the cultivation technique; however, Ajax was trying to learn one of the most difficult cultivation techniques amidst the fights? Even though nothing would happen to Ajax in real life even if he died in the bloodline training grounds, that doesn''t mean he should do what he was doing. ''I need to stop him.'' This thought came to his head and Mostror really thought ofing down from the sky to really scold Ajax this time. ''Th..this is¡­did he just make progress by doing that?'' Mostror had done a lot of research on the ''Blessed refining technique'' and even observed the young geniuses who cultivated the technique. So, when he saw Ajax stand up from the ground, Mostror could tell that there was a change in Ajax'' body. ''Even though it was minute, I am very sure he was on the right path.'' Mostror was shocked more and more when he saw Ajax as he never expected that Ajax could decode the ''Blessing refining technique'' in such a short time. ''He is really a genius. Looks like I got tensed up for nothing.'' When Mostror recalled why he had taken Ajax as his personal disciple, he shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. ''For now, I will just watch and learn more about the Blessed refining technique.'' Soon, he stopped worrying about Ajax and excitedly looked forward to seeing how long it would take for Ajax to learn the ''Blessed refining technique''. ''I am sure he is going to surprise me.'' Mostror'' head was filled with it as he continued to watch Ajax trying to understand how Ajax was able to create his own method of cirction for the ''Blessed refining technique'' using the crude cirction method. ... On the ground, Ajax didn''t know that his master found out something while he was fulfilling his two goals. ''I only have less than 40 days. I need to hurry up and reach 7k-8k abyssal beast god bloodline points.'' Ajax set a goal for himself as he knew a goal would help him push his limits. ¡­.. In a dark room. The dark room was so dark that except for the five sets of eyes with different colours, nothing could be visible. "Xareth, where did the lights go?" An impatient voice could be resounded in the darkroom. "Give me a moment." A calm voice replied to the earlier impatient voice and within no time, the darkroom was filled with light; however, there were no magicmps, candles or whatsoever. As for where the lightse from, no one bothered in the room. Currently, the five demon emperors are gathered in a virtual space created by the Astral demon emperor, Xareth. Once the lights came, all five demon emperors looked at each other before the Golden demon emperor asked, "So, did you all receive the order from the Demon god of Assassination?" "Yes." The remaining four demon emperors nodded their heads. "I was asked to send three of my personal demon apostles along with 1000 high-level demon kings. Also, the regr cannon fodder demons." Among the five demon emperors, the gold demon emperor was not the strongest one; however, he was the richest one. So, he acted like he was a leader among them and informed others about his order from the ''Demon god of assassination''. "Oh. I was ordered to send the same number." "Me too." "Same here." Soon, the remaining demon emperors nodded their heads. "However, I didn''t understand why we needed to send that many of our subordinates? It is just a normal human world that has already gone through a lot of internal fights." "I feel the same. A normal world has no more than 10 emperor realm cultivators and ording to the information, there were only 6 of them. Among which one of them was killed and the remaining five were severely injured." Initially, they thought they were the only ones that got ordered by the ''Demon god of assassination''; however, after finding out that everyone got the same order, they felt it was kind of overkill to go against a normal world with such a huge force. ording to the order, each demon emperor had to send three personal demon apostles, 1000 high-level demon kings along with countless general realm and elite general realm demons. However, if the forces of all five demon emperors were counted, then it would be 15 personal demon apostles, 5000 high-level demon kings and countless low-level demons. "Everyone, silent." All of a sudden, a ck portal opened at the center of the table and a deep eerie voice came out of it. "Demon god of assassination." As soon as they heard the voice from the portal, they stood up from their ce and bowed in front of the portal as they respectfully called. "You can sit now." The deep eerie voice asked them to sit as it continued, "I asked you to send your armies to destroy the world, not to gather here to conduct some meeting." "In 15 days, during thest round of the contest, your forces need to make an entry and destroy everything thates in your path." "There is no need for you to question my orders. If I ask you, you should do it, right?" At the end of its sentence, the deep eerie voice scoffed at the five demon emperors and asked. "We will do as you order us, Demon god of assassination." All five demon emperors bowed to the portal and replied without any hesitation. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1236 - End Of Farming In Bloodline Training Grounds After the demon emperors'' meeting was interrupted by the demon god of assassination, the five demon emperors woke up in their respective demon worlds. Without wasting any time, they ordered three of their personal demon apostles who had the strength of a low-level emperor realm to prepare for the invasion of the Purple stone world. Even though they still didn''t understand why the demon god of the assassination was so adamant on destroying the purple stone world with such a huge army, they didn''t dare to question back. ''Just you wait. Once I get my hands on that divine dragon, I will show you all my grievances.'' This was the thought in the heads of all the demon emperors and these words were said while keeping the ''Demon god of assassination'' in their heads. That''s right! They were still searching for the divine dragon. Especially, the primordial demon emperor, who suffered some damage because of Ajax, searched heavily and whenever there was a small clue regarding Ajax or any human, he would personally go out to solve that problem as he didn''t want to lose any more high-level demon kings unnecessarily. .... In the bloodline training grounds. Ajax didn''t know that the contest he was nning to participate in was going to be disrupted by the demons, who were nning to destroy the entire purple stone world starting from the Ylercester province. Currently, Ajax was not thinking about anything other than his two goals. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 40 days passed by and Ajax didn''t even notice the passage of time as he waspletely focused on doing what he had nned to do. ''Ding, The host killed five peak special rank 6 spirit beasts. ''Ding, The host received 7000 normal bloodline points. ''What? Only 77000 points?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the normal bloodline points he received because ording to his calctions, he should get around 10000 normal bloodline points. ''Am I already reached the limit?'' Ajax raised his brows as he guessed it and to remove that limit, he needed to defeat a guardian spirit beast. ''System, how many days passed after I came out of the cave?'' As Ajax lost track of the time, he asked the system about the contest. ''Ding, ording to the outside world''s time, the host has to leave today to meet up with others. ''Oh. That was fast.'' Even though Ajax knew many passes were passed, he didn''t expect to reach the limit exactly on the day he had to leave the bloodline training grounds. ''Let''s see how much I gained during thest 40 days.'' Ajax was curious about the rewards for his hard work that he had done for thest 40 days. ''Ding, Three rotations of crude cirction method during a fight:- 5001 / 10. ''Oh¡­it already crossed 5k. Not bad. Ajax was satisfied with overflooding the third requirement to learn the cultivation technique ''Blessed refining technique''.'' ''I guess it was enough but still, if I get the chance, I will continue to increase them.'' Ajax wanted to push those requirements as much as he could to see whether he would get any additional benefits or good effects from cultivating that cultivation technique. ''Now, it''s time to check the bloodline points.'' Compared to that goal, Ajax was more interested in gathering the normal bloodline points. So, he was curious about the bloodline points he currently had in his ounts. ''Ding, Bloodline space:- 88000 normal bloodline points. ''Ding, Abyssal beast god bloodline:- 4500 points ''Ding, Elemental spirit merger bloodline:- 55 points ''Ding, Aqua dragon bloodline:- 34 points. As soon as he thought about the bloodline points, a series of notifications appeared in his head and showed him the various bloodline points he had in his ount. ''Not bad.'' Ajax nodded his head and wanted to convert all the normal bloodline points into the abyssal beast god bloodline; however, he suddenly thought of something. ''I still have the bloodline awakening potion given by my master. I think I have to keep some spare normal bloodline points.'' As soon as he thought of this, Ajax instantly rejected the thought of converting the normal bloodline points and decided to keep them as it is. ''Anyway, with 880 abyssal beast god bloodline points, I can''t upgrade it to level 4.'' Even though he had to consume the bloodline awakening potion only after reaching the level 10 elite general realm, he still didn''t want to convert the normal bloodline points as they would not help him upgrade any of his three bloodlines to the next level as they required a lot of them. However, in the meantime, if he awakens a bloodline just like how he awakened the aqua dragon bloodline by killing the members of the ''House of the aqua dragon''. ''It''s time to take the permission from my master to leave the bloodline training grounds.'' With a thought, he called his master, who directly appeared in front of him. Since he is a personal disciple of someone, Ajax needs to take permission from his master. Actually, it was more like giving intimation about his n to Mostror. "I thought you would not call me at all." With a face full of smiles, Mostror said to Ajax the moment he appeared in front of Ajax. "So, what do you need?" Without wasting any time, Mostror asked Ajax what his doubts were. "Master, I am nning to leave the bloodline training grounds for a while to participate in a contest in my world. So, I want your permission." Ajax respectfully replied to Mostror. "What? You want to leave the bloodline training grounds?" The old man was not expecting these words from Ajax. So, he was momentarily surprised to hear those words. Nevertheless, he recovered in the next moment and nodded his head, "You can go wherever you want or whenever you want; however, just inform me about it." "Thank you, master." Ajax bowed to Mostror as he replied, "Master, next time when I enter the training grounds, I want to visit where you live." **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1237 - Emperor Beast Pendant "Master, next time when I enter the training grounds, I want to visit where you live." Ajax was curious about his master''s ce and wondered what kind of a ce that an emperor realm cultivator lives. So, he requested to visit Mostror'' ce. "Sure." Mostror didn''t mind taking Ajax to his ce. So, he nodded his head. "Thank you, master. I will take my leave now." Ajax was indirectly asking Mostror to send him out of the bloodline training grounds as he didn''t know how to get out of it. "Before I send you away, take these." Mostror threw two pendants at Ajax. One was blood red and the other one was the ck in colour. "Master, what are the¡­" Before Ajax could finish his words, he was teleported out of the bloodline training grounds by Mostror. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax appeared in the familiar Never-returning cave, making him a little speechless regarding the earlier actions of his master. ''You gave two items to your disciple; however, shouldn''t you help with the items?'' Ajax muttered to himself as he looked at the two pendants in his hands. ''Ding, Item name:- Emperor beast pendant. Effect:- It summons an emperor grade spirit beast when the host is in a life and death situation for five minutes. Uses:- 2 times / 3 times More information:- An item created by a fallen genius Aron alpineswift that allows to store an emperor realm spirit beast''s partial soul which cane out of the pendant on its own when the user is in a very bad situation. ''What? Emperor beast?'' After reading the information on the blood-red coloured pendant, Ajax was shocked to the core as he didn''t expect his master to give such a good item. ''But, it is a used item. I wonder if it was used by the master himself or he lent it to others.'' Since it was already used one, it left with two remaining uses. So, Ajax wondered about it. ''Also, from the looks of it, Master seems very close to the fallen genius Aron alpineswift.'' Whenever his master Mostror was speaking about the fallen genius Aron alpineswift, Ajax could sense various emotions on Mostror''s face. Sometimes, he was happy and the next moment, he would be sad and angry. However, Ajax didn''t want to ask about that and felt it would be best to wait for some time before asking more about that fallen genius. ''Anyway, let''s see what is the use of another item.'' Ajax wore the blood-red coloured pendant as he checked the information on the second pendant. ''Ding, Item name:- Teleportation pendant. Effect:- It will directly teleport the host to a ce that was already connected to the pendant. Note:- It has a cooldown of one month before using that effect. ''Oh¡­nice item.'' Ajax was surprised with ck coloured pendant''s effect? and wondered, ''I wonder, where will it teleport me?'' Nevertheless, after recalling the effect, Ajax didn''t want to use the pendant anymore because he didn''t want to get stuck in some ce and miss the contest. With that thought in his head, Ajax wore that pendant too without any hesitation. Since the system didn''t mention that he could wear only one pendant, Ajax didn''t worry about not triggering the effect of the pendants. ''Anyway, I can use it retreat when I encounter the enemies I can''t defeat.'' Even though Ajax had other trump cards, he didn''t mind adding another one to his collection. ''Let''s go and meet others now.'' ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax thought to go and meet others, he saw a silhouette appear in the cave. "Sir Zanath?" With a nce, Ajax could guess who it was, as he respectfully called him. "What sir? I have to call you young master since you are a disciple of uncle Mostror." Zanath shook his head as he politely greeted Ajax. "Young master?" Ajax raised his brows; however, when he thought about it, he understood something. ''He might be a servant of Master Mostror; however, since he is called my master as uncle, I might be wrong.'' Ajax didn''te to a conclusion directly as he asked, "So, you are still recruiting." Since Zanath''s job was to recruit the young men who pass the trial before sending them into the bloodline training grounds, Ajax asked about it. "No. I stopped it four days ago." Zanath replied with a slight smile on his face. "Young master, I have something to ask from you. If you give permission, I will ask; otherwise, just forget that I said those words." All of a sudden, Zanath said something that made Ajax raise his brows; however, he nodded his head while covering his expression. "Thank you, young master. After hearing my request, you can reject it if you feel like not doing it." First, Zanath thanked Ajax as he continued, "I heard a lot about young master'' battle prowess from Uncle Mostror and I also learned that you are going to participate in the contest that will be held in the Ylercester province in a couple of days." "Yes." Ajax nodded his head as he waited for Zanath to continue speaking. "Five young participants that cleared the never-returning cave and trained in the respective training grounds will be participating in that contest too. Even though they were not bad, they have be a little arrogant. I want the young master to show them that it is not good to be arrogant." "Oh." Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he felt it waspletely normal and nodded his head after thinking for a moment. "By the way, what about brother Paulin? Is he not training in any of the training grounds?" Speaking of the young men who passed the trials conducted by Zanath, Ajax thought about his senior brother Paulin and inquired about him. "Oh. He was brought in by Edmond and he was training in the Skill training grounds where you can upgrade all your skills depending on the effort you are putting in doing so." Zanath replied without thinking much as though he was expecting Ajax to ask about Paulin. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. **** Show your support to my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1238 - Origin Of The ’Training Grounds’ ''Oh, right! Senior brother Paulin has a skill that can temporarily increase the battle prowess of anyone he touches.'' Ajax remembered the special skill possessed by Paulin and he was not surprised that Paulin would spend so much time in the training grounds rted to the skills. Before Ajax entered the training grounds, Zanath exined that there were various training grounds like Bloodline training grounds, skill training grounds, cultivation techniques training grounds and a few more that focus on those respective fields that Ajax could choose from to enter. Since Ajax felt bloodlines are the shortcuts to the bloodlines to be powerful. So, he chose Bloodline training grounds that were guarded by Mostror. As for Paulin, he had a special skill that would help him a lot morepared to the bloodline. So, it was the best thing for him to select the skill training grounds. "Yes. He left the training grounds a few days back. I think he was also looking forward to the contest in the Ylercester province." Zanath nodded his head as he shared his thoughts. "Oh. It''s good." Ajax nodded his head as he asked the half-demon, "By the way, who owns the other training grounds and what is the organization that created all these training grounds." Earlier, he wanted to ask his master about these questions; however, his master sent him out of the bloodline training grounds all of a sudden. So, he could only ask Zanath since he was the start of everything. So far Ajax learned how the process of these so-called recruitment works. First, a few selected would undergo the respective trials that were managed by Zanath and his clones. After those who passed these trials, they would be given permission to enter any training grounds that they were. If these participants were able to impress those experts who manage the training grounds, they could be the personal disciples of those experts. ''At least that''s what I think. So, I am curious about the organization behind these experts of the emperor realm and the magical training grounds.'' Ajax waited for Zanath to answer his question. "Huh? Your master didn''t exin anything about these things?" Zanath was surprised for a moment when he heard Ajax''s question as he didn''t expect his uncle Mostror to not exin anything to his personal disciple. "No" Ajax shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. ''He took the personal disciple without exining anything.'' Zanath frowned as he looked at Ajax and thought, ''I wonder why he took him as his personal disciple in the first ce?'' Even though Ajax has good battle prowess, that doesn''t mean he was one in a million genius that was worth taking as a personal disciple of Mostror. ''Compared to the young geniuses from the greater worlds, he wascking in everything.'' Zanathpared Ajax with the geniuses from the greater worlds; however, he felt the only recognizable feat aplished by Ajax was gaining such battle prowess while staying in a lowly province of a normal world. ''Looks like there was something about Ajax that Uncle Mostror liked about him.'' Nevertheless, Zanath was not the type to discriminate against cultivators based on their birthce because he was also born here in the same province. "Is there a problem?" Seeing that Zanath was not saying, Ajax asked after some hesitation. "No¡­it''s just that I was thinking about something." Zanath shook his head as he came out of his thoughts and asked, "So, you want to know more about these training grounds." "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and continued, "Also, about the organization behind them." "It is not good to talk about the organization. So, you better ask Uncle Mostror about the organization part and as for the training grounds, I can tell you about it." Soon, Zanath continued saying, "No one knows who created them or how they are formed in the first ce. It''s just that whoever discovers them first, they could im it for themselves just like a dimensional crevice." "What?" In the beginning, Ajax nodded his head and decided to ask his master about the organization; however, after he heard about the origins of the training grounds, he was greatly shocked. "Yes. Just like the dimensional crevices. Later on, the ownership can be transferred if the original owner wants to give it to others." Zanath already expected this kind of reaction from Ajax as he asked, "So you know what is a dimensional crevice, right?" "Yes." Not only Ajax knows about a dimensional crevice but he actually owns one; however, Ajax didn''t want to casually talk about his wealth and trump cards to others. So, he nodded his head saying that he knew about the dimensional crevices. "Dimensional crevices are already rare but these so-called training grounds were very rarepared to him." Zanath seemed like exaggerating the rarity of the training grounds; however, Ajax knew how rare the dimensional crevices were and since the training grounds provide great benefits to a cultivator, it would be of course, even more, rare than them. "It took your master''s entire contributions, points and assets to buy three of these training grounds before leaving the organization." Zanath said the price of the training grounds and the recent action of Mostror. "What? Did master leave the organization? When did he leave?" Ajax was surprised for a moment before asking about it. "Huh? Uncle didn''t even tell you about this?" Zanath was finding the actions of his uncle more and moreplex and thought, ''What is uncle Mostror nning to do.'' "It was around 4 days ago." Nevertheless, controlling his doubts, Zanath informed about it. "It is around the same time as when he took me as his disciple." Ajax found it was very recent and calcted the time, only to find out that it was around the same day as he became Mostror'' personal disciple. "Yes. Anyone rted to the organization should not take the personal disciple." Finally, Zanath revealed something to Ajax, making him frown. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1239 - Zaglanath’s Futile Search ''What?'' Ajax was once again surprised to hear Zanath''s words as he asked, "Did he leave the organization just to take me as your personal disciple?" "That was just one of the reasons." Zanath nodded his head as he replied, "Originally, he was nning to leave the organization for the right time and maybe he felt it was finally the right time to leave after seeing who knows what." Zanath shrugged as he was still clueless regarding the reason behind why Mostror took Ajax as his personal disciple after so many years. "I see." Ajax felt a little relieved to hear that the old man had other reasons to leave the organization. "Nevertheless, I hope you don''t disappoint Uncle Mostror as he has already gone through a lot in the past. If possible, try to achieve the goals he set for you in time and make him happy." Zanath requested Ajax to finish the tasks set by Mostror in a low voice. "I will do that." Ajax nodded his head and he knew exactly what he had to do. ''As long as I cultivate the ''Blessed refining technique'', he will definitely be happy.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s mind after hearing to Zanath''s words. "Okay then. You might bete to pass the barrier. You can leave now." After hearing the confirmation from Ajax, Zanath felt a little relieved as he nodded his head. Since the barrier between the two provinces would be opened only for a second, Zanath didn''t want Ajax to miss that. So, he asked Ajax to go. "I wille back after the contest." Ajax also knew what Zanath was thinking but Ajax was not worried much about it because he has the ability to pass through the barriers between the provinces. Nevertheless, Ajax nodded his head and left the cave as he was nning to join others. ''I think I should have a little chat with Uncle Mostror after today.'' Looking at the leaving silhouette of Ajax, Zanath silently thought in his head along with another thought, ''There is still no clue about the human with the divine dragon. I think I should ask Uncle Mostror to help me in the search for that human and make him enter the inheritance ground left by my master.'' Previously, Zanath got the information on the human with the divine dragon that was cursed by the bronze demon king. The curse was not that effective as he was only a low-level demon, it was unable to track from a long distance. However, what he didn''t know was that the human he was searching for was right in front of him until a few moments ago. Nevertheless, Zanath was unable to notice it not because it was a low-level curse; instead, the curse was already devoured by the demonic energy in Ajax that was hiding deep within his body. Unless Ajax uses the demonic form, not even the emperor realm cultivators would find out about it. ¡­.. ''Where is the rendezvous point?'' As for Ajax, he didn''t know that he was even searched by Zanath just like the other demons; however, he was looking to help and protect Ajax from the demons as he didn''t want a human who was capable of taming a dragon to get killed by the demons. Instead, he thought about the rendezvous point with the others aftering out of the cave. ''Darbaudr, did you meet others?'' Closing his eyes, Ajax silently contacted the barbarian with whom he couldmunicate from anywhere in the same province as the barbarian. Before entering the bloodline training grounds, Ajax had already informed Barbarian that he had to meet up with others and inform him about their location. So that he could go there directly without wasting any time. ''Young master, I met others and they were asking about you. Where are you?'' In the next second, he heard the rough voice in his head. Darbaudr'' voice was a little excited as he asked about Ajax''s location. ''I am in the Cursed wilderness. What about you and others?'' Ajax answered while asking about their location. ''We are currently in the Mercenary guild and we are waiting for you.'' Darbaudr'' voice continued, ''Since you are in the Cursed wilderness, we wille to you as the barrier to the other province was exactly on the border of the middle section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Just go there and wait for us. I will guide the others to your location using the spirit sense.'' Not only Ajax and Darbaudr couldmunicate over long distances, but they could also even sense each other''s location. So, the barbarian said that he would guide others to the ce where Ajax was at the border between the two sections. The border between the two sections was very big and it would definitely take some time for the others to search for Ajax without Darbaudr''s help. ''Okay. I will leave now.'' Nodding his head, Ajax disconnected themunication with Darbaudr. ''Since I am closer to the border between the two sections, should I go and visit Sister Keshe and Princess Daphne.'' A few weeks back, Ajax sent Princess Daphne and the old man Lin to stay in Geron''s territory that was currently maintained by his brother Ceru. So, he thought of checking on them. "Swoosh" With that decision in his mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he went to Geron''s territory. Actually, the entire middle section of the cursed wilderness was Geron''s territory. So, it didn''t take much time for Ajax to reach the ce where Keshe lives. "Benefactor Ajax, wee." One of the guardians saw Ajax from a distance and weed him with a polite smile. Who doesn''t know about Benefactor Ajax? Not only did he help save their princess but gave some gifts that allowed a few of the young talented spirit beasts in their territory to re-cultivate into humans. So, everyone was respectful to Ajax and even bowed to him as he walked to the tree that Keshe lives. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1240 - Golden Demon Emperor’s Apostle "What? They already left?" Ajax was surprised for a moment when he learned about Princess Daphne and Keshe along with the few spirit beasts that re-cultivated already went to the barrier that was separating the Zrochester province. "Yes. They left a few hours back." Ceru nodded his head as he informed them about the time they left. "Okay then. I will take my leave too." Since there was nothing left for him to do without Princess Daphne and Keshe, he decided to leave too. "With benefactor''s battle prowess, it will be easy to enter the top 100. I wish you all the best, Benefactor Ajax." Ceru knew Ajax was trained by some powerful master and without a doubt, he could tell that Ajax was strong and at the same time he requested, "In the Ylercester province, can you please take care of Niece Keshe?" Without Geron to look after the territory, it was Ceru''s duty to take care of the things in the territory. So, he can''t leave; however, at the same time, Princess Keshe didn''t want to miss the contest in the Ylercester province. Because, even though it seemed like a young genius contest, it was a recruitment test for the young geniuses of the world for the old monsters that want to pass their legacy. As long as Keshe was able to be the personal disciple of one of those old monsters, her future would be bright. Nevertheless, along with the opportunities lies the dangers and that''s the reason why he was asking Ajax to help Keshe if she was in trouble. "Definitely, I will help her." Keshe saved her once in the past and Ajax was not calctive in repaying it multiple folds. So, he nodded his head. After that, Ajax didn''t stay there and quickly left. ..... At the intersection of the middle section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''What are we doing here? Isn''t the n to attack the Ylercester province?'' ''What do you think? We are going to destroy the Zrochester province.'' ''What? Zrochester province? Aren''t we supposed to attack Ylercester province?'' Some distance away from that border, there was a cave and in that cave, a portal had opened. In front of the portal, two golden demons were having a conversation as they talked about attacking the Ylercester province and the Zrochester province. "We are not part of the main army that was going to attack Ylercester province in the next few days. Instead, our mission is to invade the Zrochester provincepletely before the main army could start the n." The golden demon revealed an evil smile as he continued, "The goal is to get more credits to our emperor. That''s the reason why his majesty sends a personal demon apostle to carry out of the invasion of the Zrochester province." "What?" The other golden demon was shocked for a moment before asking, "If his majesty sent a personal demon apostle to this low-level province, it will be conquered in a few minutes; however, won''t it decrease his contribution points in the Ylercester province." ording to the information, these low-level demon kings got that each demon emperor would be sending three personal demon apostles along with the 100 high-level demon kings along with thousands of demons below the king realm. However, if the Golden demon emperor was sending one of the three personal demon apostles that would being to this low-level province would definitely make them lose their points against the other demon emperors'' army. "Haha¡­what if I say that he is not one of the three personal demon apostles that are going to attack the Ylercester province?" The first golden demonughed out loud as he replied to the second golden demon. "What? Don''t tell me that his majesty is using this long-distance teleportation portal using his own resources?" When ites to the teleportation and teleportation portals, they have to pay a high price to use them and unless it is absolutely necessary, they would not use them. The teleportation portal that was going to be opened in the Ylercester province was created by the demon god of the assassination and the armies of the five demon emperors would be using the same portal. So, they could only send the number of demons ordered by the demon god of assassination. Not a single one more or not a single one less, They have to send the exact number. "Yes. Among the five demon emperors, our emperor is the richest one. He just wants to gain more contribution points during this time by conquering the Zrochester province along with the Ylercester province." The main source of ie for the golden demon emperores from selling the elemental spirits to the other demon emperors. What''s more, he even sells a few rare elemental spirits to the Demon god of Assassination from time to time. "So, are we going to wait until all the powerful cultivators leave the Zrochester province?" The second golden demon was excited as he asked the first golden demon about it. "Yes." The first golden demon nodded his head because all the powerful cultivators would be following their young geniuses as they could not send them to a province that was higherpared to the Zrochester province. So, with them gone, the Zrochester province''s battle prowess would gradually reduce and they could easily conquer the province. "What the hell are you two discussing? Keep quiet until they leave. If someone hears your conversation, they might not go to the Ylercenster province." From the portal, a deep voice sounded that made both the golden demons shiver. "Demon apostle¡­we are extremely sorry." They didn''t dare to continue their conversation anymore as they respectfully apologized to a powerful looking demon sitting on a boulder on the other side of the portal. "Also, remember, the moment you leave this cave, your cultivation will be restricted to the peak elite general realm; however, you will still have the same level of skills and cultivation techniques. So, be prepared for it." **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1241 - Floating Barrier The demon apostle sitting on the boulder on the other side of the portal warned the demon kings around him in a serious look. Even though he waspletely confident in destroying the Zrochester province with the force he was going to bring into the Zrochester province, he still didn''t want any mistake to happen and wanted everyone to be prepared. "Yes, Sir demon apostle." All the demon kings respectfully nodded their heads. "Since I have to take care of the protector of this province, you will take the charge and lead them in destroying the Zrochester province." In the next moment, the demon apostle ordered the demon king standing beside him like a loyal servant. "As you wish, sir demon apostle." That demon king bowed his head as he respectfully acknowledged the order. "Good. Wake me up after everyone leaves for the Ylercester province." After saying that, the demon apostle rested against the boulder without caring for his rank or image. Nevertheless, no one dared to say anything as they remained silent waiting for the barrier to open and then close. ... "Phew¡­finally, I am here." After running for a while, Ajax finally reached the border of the middle section and the inner section. "Young master¡­we are here." Just as Ajax reached the ce and rested for a few minutes, he saw a huge stingray flying towards him from his left side. On its back, a group of cultivator''s along with Darbaudr were sitting as the barbarian called Ajax. "Oh. You are faster than I imagined. It must be because of the soul stingray, right?" Ajax knew how fast the soul stingray owned by Elek as he previously travelled on its back. "Yes, young master." Darbaudr jumped down from the soul stingray while nodding his head and silently stood beside Ajax just like a guard. "Hello elders and everyone." Ajax didn''t say anything as he knew that Darbaudr was like that from the beginning; instead, he greeted the others sitting on the back of the huge soul stingray. Six vagrant cultivators and their disciples, Edmond and Udo along with the Nameless cultivator and the couple Edina and her husband who got saved from the cursed energy by Ajax in the past. He greeted everyone with a slight smile on his face. "Ajax, it''s been a while." Even though they haven''t met Ajax for a while, there was not a single day they haven''t heard about Ajax and his actions. Their best friend Nameless cultivator, Edmond''s sister Edina and her husband Bren, would already talk about him and how he saved them. However, the six vagrant cultivators were no longer surprised with Ajax''s actions and adventures as they had already gotten used to it. ''With a powerful master, there is nothing Ajax can''t do except foring back from life.'' This was the thought in their heads; however, if they knew about Ajax''s skill ''Emergency ghost'', they would be definitely shocked. "Yeah. It''s been a while and everyone has be powerful." Hister words were directed towards the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. They have already reached level 8 and level 9 elite general realm cultivators. As for Levi, he was already a? peak elite general realm. However, Ajax didn''t know how high-level Levi''s cultivator''sw had grown but he was sure it would be at least level 3 or level 4. "You are also the same. You were able to fight the peak level 10 elite general cultivators with level 2 general realm; however, now you became a level 2 elite general realm cultivator. I am looking forward to your fights in the contest." The guild master Rae replied to Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "Yeah. I think Ajax can even fight and kill the low-level king realm cultivators now, right?" Elek jokingly spoke and heter informed Ajax that he was just joking. ''Just joking?'' Ajax was speechless for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile on his face and thought, ''Anyway, it is better this way.'' Ajax didn''t bother to exin his battle prowess or trump cards as he casually talked with others whom he had not met for a while. Everyone was happy to see Ajax; however, there was someone who was very happy and it was none other than Snowstorm. "I wonder how this barrier actually works." Ajax looked into the thin air and wondered about the barrier that was not visible or felt by anyone below the King realm. Finally, after conversing with others for a while and Ajax asked about the barrier that separates the Zroceshter province and the Ylercester province. Even though it was said that there was a barrier that was obstructing anyone who was trying to enter the Ylercester province from Zrochester province, actually, there was no such barrier or whatsoever. It was just a myth and no one knows where the barrier that was separating the two provinces was, not to mention destroying it. "The barrier separating the two provinces move every moment. So, it was impossible to find it; however, this time, the protectors informed us about the location of the barrier and at what time it will appear." "ording to that, there are still 30 minutes left before the barrieres here." The guild master tried to exin Ajax''s doubt by exining the moving barrier. "Huh? It moves every moment?" Ajax was surprised to find something interesting about the barrier; however, he had another doubt in his head from the beginning, "However, how will you enter the Ylercester province when the barrier opens when all I can see from here is the inner section of the cursed wilderness." Since a barrier is separating two provinces, Ajax could clearly see the other side of the barrier, making him confused at how they could enter even when the so-called floating barrier opens. "Haha¡­I was also curious about it until I turned 50 and gradually, I learned it; however, you don''t need to wait as you will experience it in a few minutes." The guild master revealed a mysterious smile as he didn''t exin anything more about the barrier. **** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1242 - [Bonus ]Quick-witted Edmond Seeing the mysterious smile, Ajax didn''t ask anything as he was very sure that the guild master was not going to tell him about it. ''Looks like I need to witness it with my own eyes to check regarding the barriers.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax continued to chat with the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. Also, from time to time, Ajax and others could see the geniuses from the sects and the great families; however, they moved away from there after seeing the vagrant cultivators. Since the barrier would be the same as the border of the two sections, it doesn''t matter for them where they were standing as they could enter from anywhere as long as the barrier opens when it coincides with the border of the middle section and the inner section. They mostly feared that the assassin sect was destroyed by the vagrant cultivators and didn''t want to mess with them before going to the contest in the Ylercester province because it was way more important for their young geniuses'' future. However, what they didn''t know was that Ajax alone destroyed the Assassin sect in the Zrochester province. ''Ajax, can we talk for a moment?'' As they were waiting for the barrier, Ajax heard Captain Edmond''s voice in his head. ''Yes.'' Nodding his head, Ajax walked towards Edmond. He already knew what Edmond was going to say and it was thanking him for saving his sister and her husband. "Ajax, I can''t thank you enough for saving my sister and her husband." Without any hesitation, Edmond bowed to Ajax as he thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart. "Captain Edmond, you helped me when I was clueless about the cultivation. There is no need to be so formal about it." Even though Ajax already expected Edmond to thank him, what he didn''t expect was that Captain Edmond would bow to him. Generally, Captain Edmond was not the type to bow even to the guild master; however, now, he did it to someone who was much younger than himself. From this, Ajax could tell how much he cared for his sister. "But, still, I must at least do this as I don''t have very valuable things to give you." It was not that Captain Edmond didn''t have any valuable items; however, he knew that those items were not considered high-level at all for someone like Ajax who had a powerful master. So, he didn''t dare to take them out to embarrass himself in front of everyone. "Okay¡­okay." Ajax was speechless for a moment and could only nodded his head before transmitting his voice into Captain Edmond''s head, ''Captain Edmond, when I checked the space ring of the assassin sect''s sect leader, I found something called Ancient Hermit refining technique. I hope it might be useful to you.'' He didn''t dare to take out casually as there were others from the Zrochester province some distance away from them as he waited for Captain Edmond''s reply. Since Captain Edmond already knew that it was Ajax who destroyed the assassin sect, Ajax was not worried about his secret. ''What?'' Captain Edmond was shocked for a moment and hurriedly asked, ''Which part is it? Is it first or second?'' ''It is the first part. I don''t know whether you already have the first part or not but I thought to let you know about it.'' Ajax calmly replied to Edmond without any expression because he still didn''t know whether it could be useful to Captain Edmond or not. ''What? Part one? Are you sure about it?'' All of a sudden, Captain Edmond''s anxiousness turned into excitement as he asked Ajax to confirm whether he was sure about it. ''Should I bring it out?'' Ajax knew it was hard for Captain Edmond to believe. So, Ajax joked whether he should bring it out for him to see it. ''What? No¡­don''t do it.'' Seeing that Ajax was trying to take it out, Captain Edmond hurriedly stopped Ajax. "Captain Edmond, what happened to you all of a sudden?" "Did you hear any good news or what?" "Why don''t you share it with us?" Soon, all the vagrant cultivators and others who noticed the change in Captain Edmond''s emotions asked him curiously. "What? It''s nothing." Seeing that he got caught by the others, Captain Edmond hurriedly changed the topic, "It''s just that Ajax helped me with my sword dao in reaching the next grade." "What? Next grade means¡­.did you reach grade 5 in your dword dao?" The vagrant cultivators were shocked because they already knew that Edmond had a grade 4 sword dao. Also, Captain Edmond didn''t lie when he said that because the reason he reached grade 5 sword dao was because of Ajax who gave him a grade 5 sword dao rune. "Yes." Compared to revealing the Ancient Hermit refining technique, Captain Edmond felt it was better to reveal his grade 5 sword dao to divert the topic; otherwise, the vagrant cultivators would definitely find out that there was something fishy. "However, he is also asking for some help regarding his sword dao. So, I am nning to show my sword dao before he participates in the contest." Using that as an excuse, Captain Edmond brought Ajax some distance away from that ce. "Come back quickly." Since Ajax was going to participate in the contest and if his doubt regarding the sword dao is cleared, he might achieve a breakthrough in his sword dao. So, they didn''t say anything other than asking them toe back soon in order not to miss the chance to enter the Ylercester province. ¡­. "Now, take it out." After moving away from everyone, Captain Edmond excitedly asked Ajax to bring it out. "Sure." Nodding his head, Ajax took a golden coloured book out of his inventory and with a slight smile on his face, he gave it to Captain Edmond. "Th..this¡­is¡­" Captain Edmond frowned because it was not what he was expecting and looked at Ajax with a confused look on his face. "Just open it and check it out for yourself, Captain Edmond." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1243 - Emergency Mission "Just open it and check it out for yourself, Captain Edmond." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked Captain Edmond to open the golden-coloured book in his hands. "Huh? Okay." The thing is, Captain Edmond expected an old tattered book; however, when he saw that Ajax take out a shining golden coloured book, he felt Ajax was mistaken about something. Nevertheless, after seeing how confident Ajax was, Edmond decided to open the book and see whether there is Ancient Hermit refining technique inside the golden coloured book or not. "This is really¡­ the cultivation technique of the eight hidden families." Once Edmond opened the book and started reading it, he was able to confirm it was none other than the Ancient Hermit refining technique that belongs to the eight hidden families of the Zrochester province. "This is very clear and very easy to understand." As Edmond continued to read the contents inside the golden book in his hands, he waspletely shocked for a moment before bing excited. He was excited because with how detailed the contents inside the golden book, it would not take much time for him to cultivate it. "Ajax, tell me exactly where you find this book? Don''t tell me that the old sect leader of the assassin sect was capable of doing something like this." Compared to the old tattered book he remembered seeing when he saw young, Edmond could definitely say that the Golden book didn''t belong to the hidden families; however, the contents inside were obviously the first part of the? Ancient Hermit refining technique. Other than the members of the hidden families who underwent special training from a young age, no one would be able to cultivate this technique. So, Edmond was very sure that the contents were definitely not written by the sect leader of the Assassin sect, making Edmond ask where he really got this book. "Captain Edmond, I found a tattered old book in the space ring of that sect leader; however, my master briefly told me about its origins. Later, to thank you for taking care of me when I started my cultivation journey, he decided to note down the contents in this golden book." Ajax was never worried about the questions like these as he could throw all the credit to his mysterious master. "That''s right! Your master. I was too excited and forgot about your master." Captain Edmond rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face. "So, you can cultivate it, right?" Ajax shook his head as he asked Edmond about it. "I am just waiting for the first part of the Ancient Hermit refining technique. With this, I can start my preparations to break through to the King realm." Captain Edmond was excited when he said those words because he could finally take revenge against the Fire sword sect for what they had done to him and his family. "Ajax, let''s go back. The barrier mighte at any moment now." Once Captain Edmond stored the golden book, he was filled with greater excitement; however, he didn''t forget that they still had to enter the Ylercester province. "Let''s go." Since he had already given the golden book to Edmond, Ajax nodded his head and started walking back to the ce where everyone was waiting for the barrier. ''Should I ask Ajax to help me with the second part of the Ancient Hermit refining technique too?'' While walking back, Captain Edmond thought of asking Ajax to help him in breaking down the second of the cultivation technique with the help of his powerful master. However, in the next second, he hurriedly removed that because getting back part one of the Ancient Hermit refining technique was already a good thing for him, not to mention he got detailed notes on it. Now, if he asks for more help from Ajax and his master, it would make him look greedy. So, he removed that thought and he decided to start cultivating the new cultivation named Ancient Hermit refining technique after entering the Ylercester province. ''Once I cultivate it in the next one month, I cane back to take my revenge on the fire sword sect.'' Edmond clenched his fists as he finally felt he could finish the revenge. ..... Back at the border. "Everyone, it is about time, the barrier wille here at any moment now. The moment you see the change in scenery in front of your eyes, just walk forward." In a sh, 29 minutes passed by and only one minute left before the barrier moved to the border of the middle section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness. So, the guild master warned everyone to be active. Because the barrier would stay open for only a minute and if they miss the opportunity to enter the Ylercester province when the barrier was open, it would be difficult for them to go through another means. "It''s here" Finally, thest minute passed as everyone felt the earth was shaking a little for a moment and the scenery in front of them started changing. Even though it still looked like a forest, it was differentpared to the cursed wilderness and as the residents of the Zrochester province, they could say that it was definitely not the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''So, this is what the guild master meant by his words ''It is better to see than to hear''.'' Ajax finally understood how the barrier works and it was a huge teleportation portal across the border between the middle section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Let''s go and see how this Ylercester province is.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax decided to walk into the Ylercester province; however, suddenly, he stopped as he raised his brows. ''A mission? At a time like this?'' Ajax wanted to ignore it; however, the system informed him that it was an emergency mission with great reward. ''I will take a quick nce at the mission.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax opened the quest tab to check the mission. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1244 - Staying Back ''Ding, Emergency mission:- Spoil the demon emperor''s n. Mission details:- The golden demon emperor was nning to conquer the Zrochester province when most of the powerful cultivators entered the Ylercester province. Stay back and stop that from happening. Danger rating:- A grade Mission reward:- A normal world''s world core and smaller world''s world core Soon, the emergency mission details appeared in front of Ajax. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to see that mission details and clenched his fists because the demons were trying to invade when half of the powerful cultivators from the Zrochester province were focused on the contest in the Ylercester province. Moreover, no one would be expecting an attack from the demons. So, it would be the right time for the demon to strike and the powerful cultivators who were staying back would not even notice that they were killed. ''I need to stop it. Not for the humans, but for the sake of rewards.'' From the stories he heard from Elder Boron, the main character would always be betrayed by the humans; instead of the other powerful races. So, other than those who are close to him, Ajax didn''t care much about the other humans. However, the reward forpleting the mission was so good that Ajax could not resist it. ''Getting a smaller world''s world core was already a good reward but it was giving a normal world''s world core. So, why would I reject such a mission?'' Ajax was only doing this mission for the sake of reward as he muttered, ''But, the system seems like it wants to protect the humans.'' ''Anyway, I have the ability to pass through the barriers. So, I can just stay back and go afterpleting this mission before looking for the assassin sect in the Ylerecester province.'' Other than participating in the contest to check the other participant''s battle prowess, Ajax had another reason to enter the Ylercester province and it was to check how powerful the assassin sect in that province was. ''If it is weak, I can just? destroy it and gather more intel about the main headquarters.'' Ajax silently thought about his future ns as he continued thinking, ''As for the assassin sect in the Ylercester province, there is no need for such an evil organization to exist in this world.'' He was not doing it for the human race; instead, he was very angry regarding the assassin sect''s massacre in the Silver orphanage, he just wanted to destroy everything rted to that sect. As Ajax was thinking about the mission and the revenge, others were getting excited and rushed into the Ylercester province. "Everyone, enter. We will be waiting for the good news." The guild leader urged the young geniuses to enter the Ylercester province as though he was not entering with them. That''s right! From the earlier conversation, Ajax found out that only two of the vagrant cultivators along with the Nameless cultivator, Edmond and Udo were entering the Ylercester province to apany the young geniuses. Of course, Darbaudr was going for another reason. "Yes, guild master." "Yes, master." All the youngsters walked into the Ylerecester province with great excitement. Princess Daphne, Keshe and a few other re-cultivated spirit beasts along with some powerful guardians from Geron''s territory entered the Ylercester province. "Young master, is something the matter?" Seeing that Ajax was not entering, the barbarian asked Ajax with a confused look on his face. ''Darbaudr, you go on. I have something to take care of in the Zrochester province.'' Since Ajax had an emergency mission to take care of, he decided to stay back and asked the barbarian to enter the Ylercester province without him. ''What?'' Darbaudr was shocked for a moment when he heard Ajax''s words in his head; however, he didn''t say anything as he looked at Ajax for a moment before nodding his head. Darbaudr knew that Ajax must be having something important to take; otherwise, he would have not said those words. Nevertheless, even though he didn''t know how strong Ajax had be, he was sure about one thing and that was nothing would happen to Ajax. So, he nodded his head and said, "I will be waiting for you, young master." After saying that, Darbaudr entered the Ylercester province because he really wanted to go back to the province he had been born in and see what happened to his ce after they were massacred by the demon army. ¡­ "Ajax, why are you not going in?" "Hurry up and enter it before the barrieres back." .. .. The vagrant cultivators who were left behind to guard the Zrochester province urged Ajax to enter the Ylercester province because as long as Ajax participated, their province would get good recognition from all over the world. ''Elders, we have something important to do.'' However, Ajax didn''t go in; instead, he transmitted his voice to the four vagrant cultivators and Nameless cultivator. ''What?'' Looking at the serious look on Ajax''s face, the vagrant cultivators felt that there was something serious. So, they asked Ajax through the voice transmission. ''My master informed me that the demons are going to invade this province after half of the powerful experts goes to the Ylerecester province.'' Ajax didn''t keep them in suspense for long as he spilt everything that he learned from the system and instead of saying about the system, he used his master''s name. ''What? Demon invasion?'' ''Are you sure about it?'' ''Protector Olek would personally protect the province when there is ack of human strength.'' The vagrant cultivators felt it was a little unbelievable; however since the source of the information was Ajax''s master who had unknown strength, they fell into the dilemma. ''The invasion might start at any moment and I will try my best in protecting this province as my master promised me some good rewards. So, I will be leaving now to prepare for the uing demon battle.'' As soon as Ajax said those words, he didn''t stay there any longer as he rushed into the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Try reading my other book ''Sovereign of the Firmaments''. Chapter 1245 - [Bonus ]Participant Registration Ajax didn''t bother whether the vagrant cultivators would believe it or not, he just wanted to inform them as they always want to protect the Zrochester province from the demons unlike those arrogant top three sects¡­no top two sects and the five great families. As for the royal family, it would only care if the demons attack the important towns and cities. Nevertheless, the royal family still sends the reinforcements; however, if someone is hoping for those reinforcements, then it would be a miracle if they reach in time. ''Even without their help, I can easily take care of the iing demon army no matter how big it is.'' Ajax took care of the whole smaller demon words on his own. So, he was not worried much about the iing demon army. ''Even though my main force is still busy conquering the demon worlds and I can''t summon the devourer eagle kings in the Zrochester province because of their King realm cultivation, I still have a spirit beast army.'' The reason why Ajax was running into the inner section was to gather the spirit beast army that Darbaudr was managing for thest couple of months. ''Finally, it is time to test the true power of my spirit beast army.'' Ajax didn''t know when the demon army would attack the Zrochester province exactly; however, he knew it would be soon and he wanted to ready all the spirit beasts. ..... In the Ylercester province. "The essence of nature¡­.it is very purepared to the Zrochester province." After all the personal disciples and their guardians entered the Ylercester province, they checked their surroundings that looked like a forest. The first thing they noticed after entering the Ylercester province was none other than the essence of nature. Since Ylercester province was much better than Zrochester province, of course, the essence of nature in it would be much better than the essence of nature in the Zrochester province. "You must be the participants from the Zrochester province. I am the royal servant that came to guide you. Follow me as I will guide you to your resting quarters." Just as everyone was feeling the pure essence of nature in the Ylercester province, they heard the voice of a middle-aged man. Without wasting any more words on the cultivators that came from the Zrochester province, the middle-aged man summoned a Twin-tailed swift bird that had a strength of rank 6. ''What? He is a servant with that cultivation?'' All the youngsters were shocked with the words ''Royal servant'' because that middle-aged man''s cultivation was level 5 elite general realm. If he was in the Zrochester province, he would have easily be an elder of a sect; however,pared to that, the middle-aged man chose to remain as a royal servant. ''For the cultivation journey, even the birthce holds a significant value.'' This was the thought in all the youngsters'' minds as they silently followed behind the middle-aged man after Elek summoned his soul stingray. "By the way, where is Ajax?" Finally, the youngsters noticed that Ajax was missing from the crowd. Earlier, they were very excited to enter the Ylercester province and didn''t notice that Ajax didn''t enter the opened barrier. "Young master said he would be joining uster." Darbaudr briefly exined that Ajax had some things to do and in a low voice, he added, ''As for how he would enter the Ylercester province, the young master said that his master would help him. So, there is no need to worry about the young master.'' ''Cool¡­it is great to have such a powerful master.'' ''Yes.'' ''Not only he gets the priceless cultivation resources but he can''t even pass through the barriers between the provinces.'' . . Hearing Darbaudr''s words, all the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators except for a few members like King killer, Kind mantis, Levi and Jeff didn''t speak a single thing because they had their master right in front of them. ''...'' Elek and Seward were speechless at the words of the youngsters and thought, ''Why the hell would youpare us with a powerful master like that?'' Nevertheless, they knew that the young disciples were a little envious of Ajax but they knew their current situation was also much better than other young cultivators in the province. Soon they reached a huge pce with a huge open space in a radius of at least one kilometer. Around that open space, there was a huge wall built with who knows what material. "Everyone, get down from your mounts." The royal servant gilding themnded his mount in front of the gate where there were already a few young cultivators waiting in a line. Following the middle-aged man''s words, Elek ordered his soul stingray tond on the ground as everyone dismounted the spirit beast. "The youngsters who were participating in the contest have to give their details. So, stand in the line and wait for your turn to say." "As for the guardians of the young participants, you have to stand aside. Once the registration for the participants ispleted, you will be sent to the resting quarters." There were a dozen royal servants overlooking the registration process and every time a new batch of people came to the gate, they would inform everyone of the rules. Since young geniuses from all over the world are participating in the contest, everyone must go through the registration to check whether they met the conditions to participate in the contest or not. "Mr Royal servant, why are there two lines?" King killer asked one of the weakest royal servants with a respectful look on his face, making that royal servant a little proud as he looked at the other royal servants. "This line is for the simple participants and that small line is for participants who could summon the elemental spirits. In short, it is for summoners." Generally, these royal servants look down on the cultivators from th Zrochester province and remain silent without answering their questions; however, with King killer''s words, the royal servant answered with a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1246 - Preparations For The Demon Invasion In the inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Brother Ajax, aren''t you supposed to enter the Ylercester province?" The moment Ajax entered Garon''s territory, he heard the primitive ape king''s voice. Since Darbaudr was going to the Ylercester province, the full in charge of the Garon''s territory was left for the Primitive ape king. Currently, Garon''s territory conquered the other spirit beast kings'' region ranked from seventh to ninth. Adding to Garon''s territory, Ajax had a total of four regions under his control. And among all the spirit beasts in these four regions, the Primitive ape king was the strongest one. So, it was the right thing to leave these territories to the primitive ape king. "There will be a demon invasion in the Zrochester province soon. I want you to prepare all the spirit beasts under our control." Ajax didn''t exin much as he ordered the ape king to assemble all the powerful spirit beasts. "Yes, brother." The primitive ape king was surprised for a moment; however, he didn''t waste any more time as he roared while mming his chest. "The spirit beast kings from seventh to the ninth ranked territory will assemble here with their armies at any time now." After doing that for a few moments, the primitive ape king informed Ajax, making him nod his head. "Good. Also, send someone to the Fairy king''s territory to inform the current leader Ceru about the demon invasion. Don''t forget to mention my name, he will understand." Ajax just wants no one close to him to suffer and since the fairy king''s territory will belong to Keshe sooner orter, he would at least try to inform them about the demon invasion. "Yes, brother." The primitive ape king nodded his head before seeing one of the Silver wyvern generals to the middle-section of the cursed wilderness to inform Ceru about the demon invasion. "Brother Ajax, you really care for the human race." Looking at how serious Ajax was while speaking to him earlier, the primitive ape king misunderstood that Ajax really cared for the human race. "It''s no¡­" "However, I ask you to be wary of the human race because my brother, who was a human, had been killed by his own people over a treasure. So, I say that it''s not worth your life for such people." Before Ajax said something, the primitive ape king said something that made Ajax raise his brows as he didn''t know that the primitive ape king hates humans to the core. However, he still didn''t go against Ajax''s orders to fight against the demons but he warned Ajax to be careful of the humans. "I will keep that in mind." Ajax nodded his head as he already knew how the human heart changes and how hard it is to predict it. The thing is, whenever the demons try to invade, they mostly focus on the humans as they were clearly very intelligentpared to the humans and as long as the humans were cleared, they could easily conquer and turn the spirit beasts into demonic spirit beasts. However, since Ajax had a spirit beast army, he wanted to use it to kill all the demons to gain more essence of nature along with the mission rewards. "Should I inform the spirit beast kings from the territories that are yet to be conquered?" Seeing that Ajax understood his words, the primitive ape king was satisfied and asked Ajax about informing other spirit beast kings. "No need. I think the spirit beast army under us is more than enough to stop the demon invasion." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to the ape king. Actually, Ajax was already confident in taking over all the demons by himself as the demons above the King realm can''t enter the Zrochester province. However, if there were any special demons then it would be a little troublesome for him as his main force went on an expedition and the second main force can''t be summoned because of their King realm cultivation. "Send all the flying units to scout the middle-section and the outer section of the cursed wilderness as I didn''t have a clue regarding where the demons would start their invasion." Ajax gave his next order to the primitive ape king as he continued to exin, "However, I am sure that they would definitely start their invasion from the cursed wilderness." From his past experience, Ajax knew that there are many hidden portals all over the cursed wilderness and the demons might starting out at any moment. "Hurry it up." Ajax urged the primitive ape king because the barrier to the Ylercester province had been closed and the demons mighte out at any time now. Another thing he was sure about the demon world''s portal is that they rarely open the portal in the inner section of the cursed wilderness because these regions have powerful spirit beasts and it was not a good starting point for them to start their invasion. So, Ajax orders the primitive ape king to gather all the spirit beasts in the four territories to gather at the outer perimeter of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Yes, brother." Soon, thest four ranked territories in the inner section of the cursed wilderness became very busy as all the spirit beasts started gathering in Garon''s territory. ¡­. In one of the caves of the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. "Sir demon apostle, most of the powerful human experts and the spirit beasts already left to the Ylercester province. Shall we start our invasion?" One of the golden demon kings in front of the demon apostle informed the demon apostle. "Already? I had a nice dream¡­what a pity it was disturbed in the middle." The demon apostle woke up with a sleepy look on his face as he stretched his body a little. "I am sorry, Sir demon apostle¡­.Puchi" The golden demon king hurriedly apologized; however, before he could finish his words, the demon apostle pierced his hand in that demon king''s body and pulled out his heart. "I am sorry too." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1247 - Demon Invasion Starts "I am sorry too." The demon apostle dropped the ck heart that was still twitching onto the ground as he looked at the lifeless demon king on the ground. ''...'' The surrounding demon kings and their subordinates remained silent for the entire time and no one said a single thing. However, deep down, they were shivering to death and kept a mental note of ''Don''t wake Sir demon apostle up while he was sleeping. "Since most of the powerful experts left the Zrochester province, let''s start our n." The demon apostle was satisfied with the silence all around him as he gave the order to start the n. "First open all the portals that are in our control in the outer section and the middle section of the cursed wilderness." The demon apostle reminded the n to the demon kings and their subordinates as he continued, "Our first goal is to capture the spirit beasts and turn them into demonic spirit beasts." "Remember, no demon king is allowed to enter the Zrochester province yet because that protector bastard would rush here if he sensed any King realm demons. Let''s just convert as many spirit beasts as possible." "Do you understand?" "Yes, sir demon apostle. We understood." At the end of his words, the demon apostle released his cultivation pressure, making everyone nod their heads. "Everyone, you heard Sir demon apostle. Enter one of the ten portals and do your best to show what you are made up of." "Make as many contribution points as possible and make our demon unit number one." . . Soon, the 10 demon kings gave orders to their armies to do their best because it waspetition amongst the 10 demon kings and the army that did well would of course receive more rewards. "Yes, Sir." The ten demon armies were excited as they finally got a chance to prove themselves. So, without wasting any time, they selected a portal to enter. Each demon army is made up of 100 peak elite demon generals, 1000 elite demon generals with various levels in that realm and around 9000 of them were peak demon generals. There were 10 such demon armies that the demon apostle brought with him to destroy the entire Zrochester province, not to mention, the 10 high-level demon kings, who were the leaders of these 10 demon armies. Moreover, they were not even going straight to the humans; instead, they first nned to convert the spirit beasts in the cursed wilderness into demonic spirit beasts before attacking the humans in the Zrochester province. "With the 10 demon armies and thousands of demonic spirit beasts, it will not take more than half a day to clear the entire Zrochester province¡­hehe." The demon apostle and the ten 10 demon kings chuckled to themselves as they waited for their armies to finish the first step in their n. "Anyway, let''s start the second step of the n which is to seal your cultivation to peak elite demon general realm." After chuckling for a moment, the demon apostle ordered the 10 demon kings to sit down as various runes started appearing around them. "Close your eyes and don''t resist the seals." The demon apostle'' voice resounded in the cave as the ten demon kings followed his words without any hesitation. "You will feel the pain when the seals are installed into your body; however, you must endure it. One more thing, after the seal is dissolved, it will increase your strength permanently. So, even though you are doing this mission because of the orders, you will be gaining something out of it other than the rewards based on your contribution." The demon apostle''s words continued to resound in the cave as the demon kings waited for the pain toe. To enter the Zrochester province, they have to seal their own strength; otherwise, they would be killed by the world core because of the restrictions in the Zrochester province. ''Aargh'' Soon, the 10 demon kings started groaning painfully; however, they gritted their teeth for the sake of the rewards. ..... In a random ce, the Middle-section of the cursed wilderness. ''Swoosh'' In a deste ce that had no spirit beasts, a small portal opened and soon a group of bronze demons, silver demons and even golden demons started walking out. "Everyone, remember one thing. Try your best in not killing the spirit beasts and try to convert them into demonic spirit beasts." "The more demon spirit beasts we create, the higher our contribution points will be." A few golden demons with peak elite general realm strength reminded all the demons regarding what they had to do. Soon after, the ten thousand demons started moving in groups on order to catch the spirit beasts. Simrly, the rest of the nine demon armies also entered the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. The portals opened in a ce where there were no spirit beasts and they were not worried about alerting anyone. Whichever spirit beast they came across, they would try their best in converting them into demonic spirit beasts and in the worst-case scenario, where the spirit beast had a strong will, they could only kill it and let the converted spirit beasts devour the corpses of those spirit beasts. .... Ajax didn''t know that the demon armies had already entered the Zrochester province through the hidden portals in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Currently, Ajax was still waiting for the spirit beasts under his control to gather at the inner section. At the same time, he was waiting for the scouts to return with the information regarding the demon''s location as Ajax didn''t know exactly where they would start their invasion. ''Roar'' Soon, Ajax heard loud roars from a distance and muttered, ''Looks like they are finally here. However, I still need the flying scouts to return with the information on the demons.'' Without even looking, Ajax could guess that the roars belonged to the spirit beasts under his control as he kept an eye on the flying scouts. ''Screech'' All of a sudden, the two brown eaglesnded in front of Ajax before saying what Ajax wanted to hear all this time. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1248 - [Bonus ]Stormy Octopus # Bonus chapter for reaching 300 Golden Tickets. These two brown eagles were none other than the eagle that decided to follow Ajax after seeing his battle prowess andter, they became battle beasts with the help of the battle beasts formation. "Master, the demons started invading." "They are everywhere in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Moreover, they are converting the regr spirit beasts into the demonic spirit beasts." As soon as theynded on the ground, they hurriedly informed Ajax about the situation in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Yes, master. They are everywhere." "Yes." In the next second, a few more flying scouts that the primitive ape king sent to see the demons'' activity also came back with the same information as that of the brown eagles. "They started?" Ajax was not surprised at the fact that the demons had already started their invasion; however, what shocked Ajax was that the demons were trying to convert the regr spirit beasts into demonic spirit beasts. ''Looks like I need to hurry up.'' Ajax knew that he couldn''t waste any more time now with demons covering all parts of the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Brother Ajax, everyone is here." Just as Ajax was thinking of an optimal n to kill as many demons as possible, the primitive ape king is back and behind him, thousands of the spirit beasts were excitedly waiting for the orders to fight. "Right on time." Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the three spirit beasts behind the primitive ape king that looked nearly as powerful as the primitive ape king; however, Ajax knew that it was impossible for them to defeat the primitive ape king which had a unique fighting style. They were none other than the spirit beast kings of seventh, eighth and the ninth ranked regions. "Diamond Centuar" "Winged Anubis." Among the three spirit beast kings, Ajax had already seen these two spirit beast kings; however, it was the first time seeing thest spirit beast king that was the ruler of the seventh ranked region. "Stormy Octopus." It looked very powerfulpared to the other spirit beasts and it was expected as it was the king of the seventh ranked region in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Behind each of these spirit beast kings, they have thousands of rank 5 and rank 6 spirit beasts and other than that there was still the wyvern army of Garon along with the Battle beasts army. "Everyone, listen carefully and since we don''t have much time, I will only say it once." Ajax stood on the shoulder of the primitive ape king as he enhanced his voice with the essence of nature so that it could be heard by every spirit beast around him. "Diamond army and Storm army will cover the left and right sides of the middle section." "Anubis army and Wyvern army will cover them from the sky." "You four armies have only one task and it was to kill every demon you encounter." Ajax didn''t waste any more time as they directly asked the four armies of the spirit beasts to rush into the middle section of the cursed wilderness from left and right sides respectively. Since each of these is led by powerful spirit beast kings, Ajax was not worried much about them unless they encountered a demon with a high-level demonw along with his army. Even though the wyvern army wascking a powerful spirit beast king, Ajax sent Nameless cultivator to lead them since he was also his follower. ''That leaves us with the Ape King and nearly a thousand battle beasts along with my own army resting inside the inner world.'' Ajax looked at the 1000 strong spirit beasts that emitted a powerful aura and finally, his eyesnded on the primitive ape king. "Ape king lead all the battle beasts from the middle and cover the whole region starting from the border between the inner section and the middle section." Since the middle section was a big region to cover himself and his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax was asking all the spirit beast armies to split and cover the entire middle section. "Don''t worry, brother. I will take care of all the demons." Primitive ape king always itches for a fight and of course, he was excited to fight the demons and without wasting any time, he entered the middle section of the cursed wilderness. ''The demons must be nning something big considering the fact they were not going for the humans and converting the spirit beasts.'' After everyone left, Ajax was the only thought left in that ce as he started thinking about what the demons were nning. ''Looks like they wanted to increase their force by converting the spirit beasts into demon spirit beasts. But, why am I still feeling that they are nning something big?'' Even though Ajax felt like it was easy to stop the demons with his current spirit beast armies; however, thinking back to the mission danger rating and the rewards from the mission, Ajax felt that something was definitely amiss and he thought he had to be careful. "Everyone,e out." Without any hesitation, he summoned all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits that were resting in the inner world. Of course, Prophis and Halo were not summoned because he didn''t want the demons or any other humans finding out about the Prophis and Halo as it would be eye-catching. "Master" "Summoning master." As soon as they were summoned, everyone excitedly greeted Ajax as they knew it was finally time for some action. For thest one month, they were inside the inner world. Actually, it was more than two months as the inner world''s time synchronized with the bloodline training ground''s time speed in thest four days, making it 40 days. So, overall, it was nearly 70 days for them without having any time and they were itching for a fight. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1249 - Spirit Beasts Versus Demons "Split into a group of two or three at most and help the spirit beasts against the demons. Go now." Ajax gave the orders to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to support the beast armies that entered the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Even though Ajax was sure that the beast armies would have no problem in going against the demon armies, what he worried about was the appearance of the special demons. At the same time, his summons would help the spirit beasts if there were many demons. ''ording to the flying scouts, there are a total of 20 spots where they spotted demons and I am very sure there were more.'' Ajax silently thought about it as he continued, ''Anyway, I have to destroy all the demons and enter the Ylercester province to participate in the contest.'' That was the main reason why he came out of the Bloodline training grounds in the first ce. So, how could he miss it just because of the sudden appearance of the demons? He would try his best in taking care of the demons as soon as possible before going to the Ylercester province. "Now, I can hunt the demons without worrying." Since he sent all the spirit beasts from the four territories under him along with his own contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, he was not worried about demons going out of the cursed wilderness. ...¡­ In the various parts of the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Roar" "Roar" The spirit beasts that Ajax sent didn''t take much longer before they started encountering the demons who were trying to convert the regr spirit beasts into the demonic spirit beasts. Compared to the demons who were further divided from their 10000 demon men army, the spirit beasts were easily able to fight them. The 1000 or so demons were not able to stop the iing spirit beast army as they followed a particr path to clear the middle section. The left side of the middle section of the cursed wilderness was cleared by the Storm army and the Anubis army that was led by the stormy octopus and the Winged Anubis respectively. The right side was covered by the Diamond army and the Wyvern army that were leaders by the Diamond centaur and Nameless cultivator. As for the center was taken care of by the Primitive ape king and the thousand battle beasts that were strongest among all the armies under Ajax. As they moved forward, all the armies spread wider and wider in the area and eventually became a straight line that killed the demons that they encounter from the edge of the middle section to the outer section. ''Damn it¡­where did all these strong spirit beastse from?'' ''These many spirit beasts should not exist in the middle section of the cursed wilderness.'' ''Hurry up and quickly inform the demon king and Sir demon apostle about it.'' ''Wait¡­there are even elemental spirits in the mix. Looks like there is a summoner who is trying to kill us.'' ''So, are you saying these spirit beasts are from the inner section and the inner section of the cursed wilderness is under the control of a summoner?'' At first, they assumed their luck was bad to the encounter a few strongest spirit beasts in the middle section of the cursed wilderness; however, when they saw that there were thousands of powerful spirit beasts that were not supposed to be in the middle section, they came to the conclusion that they are from the inner section of the wilderness. What''s more, a few demons noticed the elemental spirits and they were sure that a summoner was controlling all his spirit beasts. ''Damn it¡­we only converted a dozen spirit beasts into demonic spirit beasts; however, we are already failing the first step of our n.'' ''Let''s fight to the death and kill all these beasts.'' The demons became furious at the sight of the aggressive spirit beasts and knew that their death was confirmed. So, they decided to bring at least a few of these spirit beasts with them. The demons were trained in such a way that if there was an overwhelming opponent that they could not defeat, they had to self-destruct themselves and kill as many opponents as possible. "Let''s explode." "Boom" As soon as one of the demons shouted, he exploded killing a group of rank 5 and a couple of rank 6 spirit beasts in a single go. "Haha¡­it is working." The rest of the demons who saw that one of their brethren was able to take down a good number of spirit beasts, started blowing up themselves. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Soon, the spirit beasts that were near to the demons died along with the demons. ''What can I expect from the demons?'' The leaders who were leading the spirit beast armies were disgusted at the actions of the demons; however, if they didn''t do that how could they be called demons? "Everone, be careful and only those with the defensive skillse forward." The respective leaders hurriedly gave the orders to the spirit beasts and within no time, only the spirit beasts with strong defensive skills were in the front. "Now, go for the long-range skills and kill them all." Since the demons could only blow one-meter radius around them, they could no longer do anything and before they could rush towards the spirit beast armies, they were killed by the long-range attacks from the spirit beasts. .. Inside the cave. "Okay¡­the sealing of your cultivation is done." All the demon kings that were sitting in the cave opened their eyes when they heard the demon apostle''s words, making them heave a sigh of relief as the pain they were feeling until now had already disappeared along with it. "Thank you Sir demon apostle for helping us with the deal." All ten of them thanked the demon apostle as they asked with excited smiles on their faces, "Shall we move to the next step of our invasion?" ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1250 - Mistaken For The ’King Of The Cursed Wilderness’ "Shall we move to the next step of our invasion?" Since their cultivation was sessfully sealed, all the demon kings were excited about the next step of their n as it is where they would be going wild in the Zrochester province. "Yes, we can start it." The demon apostle nodded his head as he continued, "Even though your cultivation is sealed, you will have the same battle prowess, the same level of skills except for your demon soul." "Nevertheless, your demon soul will revert back to the demonw which will have the maximum level. So, keep that thing in your mind." The demon apostle finished his words as he ordered, "Now, contact your demon armies and get their progress before you enter the Zrochester province." "As for me, I will take care of the Protector Olek." For the entire time, the demon apostle was the only one who spoke whereas the demon kings continued to listen while suppressing their excitement. ''How is the situation? How many demonic spirit beasts did you convert?'' All ten demon kings contacted their armies using amunication artifact. ''...'' ''We only made 10 demonic spirit beasts; however, they were killed by the spirit beasts.'' ''There is someone hindering our n¡­mostly likely a summoner as I saw a couple of elemental spirits.'' ''The spirit beasts from the inner section of the cursed wilderness are attacking us.'' ''Even with the self-destruction, we are unable to kill more than a dozen of them.'' Each demon king got more or less the same reply and it was that a summoner who controls the spirit beasts from the inner section of the cursed wilderness were attacking them and killing them. There are even a couple of demon kings who didn''t get any reply as his army waspletely annihted by Ajax''s spirit beast armies, making them furious. "Huh? What happened?" The demon apostle noticed that the ten demon kings were no longer as excited as they were earlier. So, he asked about it. "Sir..sir demon apostle.." Soon, their furious expression turned into hesitation as they hesitated to tell the demon apostle that some of their armies werepletely annihted and the remaining ones are on the verge of getting annihted. "What? Say it properly unless you want to be like that." The demon apostle was annoyed with the demon kings'' hesitation as raised his voice and pointed his finger at the dead demon king on the ground, he asked what happened. "My army is annihtedpletely by the spirit beasts of the inner section of the cursed wilderness." "My army is on the verge of getting destroyed, Sir demon apostle." "Mine is destroyed already." "On the verge of getting annihted." The demon kings knew that they would be dead if they didn''t do it. So, they mustered their courage and revealed the current situation of their armies. ''What?'' The demon apostle was shocked to hear the demon kings'' words and thought, ''It''s been not even a couple of hours and they were already destroyed?'' "Why did the spirit beasts from the? inner section of the cursed wildernesse to the rescue of the middle section?" ording to the information they have on the cursed wilderness and how it works from a few centuries ago, the inner section will not interfere no matter who happens to the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Also, they already knew that the spirit beasts in the inner section not only have good intelligence and bestial talent, but they were also regrly trained by the kings of those regions. That''s the reason why they didn''t bother with the inner section as it would be a little difficult and right now, it is not even a main mission; instead, it is a side mission. So, they didn''t want to focus on the inner section of the cursed wilderness. "Looks like the king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness is still in this world and didn''t ascend to the greater world. We have the wrong information." The only way one who is capable of controlling the powerful spirit beasts from the inner section of the cursed wilderness was none other than the king of the cursed wilderness. "ording to the intel we have on the inner section, there were 10 spirit beast kings under that Primeval ent, the king of the cursed wilderness. Three of you go and take care of those 10 spirit beast kings and two of you go and take care of the King of the cursed wilderness." "The remaining five will go with n B." The demon apostle controlled his emotions and thought for a few moments and gave the orders to the 10 demon kings in front of him. Actually, the demon apostle''s spections were entirely false as the spirit beasts were not controlled by the Primeval ent, who was the king of the cursed wilderness. Moreover, only three spirit beast kings from the 10 spirit beast kings were killing the demons in the middle section of the cursed wilderness. Instead, they were controlled by a 16-year-old young human named Ajax. Nevertheless, it was not wrong for the demon apostle to mistake Ajax for the primeval ent and the reason he was mistaken was because of the Primitive ape king, 1000 battle beasts, Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. Moreover, Ajax had also joined the fight and killed many demons. Overall, the power disyed by all of them, made the demon apostle mistake Ajax for the king of the cursed wilderness, Primeval ent. "Sir¡­demon apostle¡­how can we defeat the spirit beast kings with our sealed strength?" The demon kings were shivering while they asked this. "What the hell? Are your heads filled with mud or what?" When the demon apostle heard the shivering demon kings, he scolded them for acting like idiots before exining, "They are not real spirit beast kings. They are called kings because they own territory in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Only a few of them awakened their bestialw. So, go and take care of them." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1251 - [Bonus ]Ajax Versus Demon King Nevertheless, the demon apostle already had a n B in case something about the demons below the king realm. So, he was quick to switch to n B and ordered the demon kings to follow it. "But, what about the summoner?" However, the demon kings didn''t move ; instead they asked the demon apostle about the unknown summoner who seemed to be controlling the spirit beasts instead of the so-called king of the spirit beasts. "What summoner?" The demon apostle raised his brows when he heard one of the demon kings'' words. "There is a summoner in the middle section of the cursed wilderness that is killing our demon armies alongside with the spirit beasts." Earlier, they forgot to mention about the summoner to the demon apostle, making the demon apostle a little angry. "Sigh¡­only four need to continue with n B and the other one just needs to go and take care of that summoner and quickly join the four demon kings. The same goes for the other five. As soon as you finish your task, you need to join with others to continue our n." Even though he was surprised to hear about the summoner, the demon apostle didn''t think much about it as he slightly changed his ns. "Yes, Sir demon apostle." Soon, all the demon kings nodded their heads and started going out of the cave. The end of the cave was connected to a cave in the middle-section of the cursed wilderness and as soon as the ten demon kings came out of it, they went their separate ways, leaving the demon apostle alone in the cave. ''These fools¡­they can''t do a single thing properly and now we have to opt to n B.'' The demon apostle cursed the demon kings because it was their armies that made him change the ns. ''Anyway, as long as I stall for some time against the Protector of this province, they can take care of the province. But, before that, they have to defeat all the fake spirit beast kings in the inner section.'' As a veteran human world invader, the demon apostle knew what and when he had to do things. So, he waited for the demon kings to at least defeat the 10 spirit beast kings in the inner section before he challenged the protector. .... In a random ce of the middle-section of the cursed wilderness. ''sh'' ''Ding, The host circted the crude cirction method three times while fighting against 21 demons. Ajax looked at the system notification in his head with a slight smile on his face as he looked at the 21 demon corpses in front of him. ''Why are they so easy to kill?'' Even though they have peak elite demon general realm cultivation, it only took a couple of attacks for Ajax to defeat all of them. Moreover, he even circted the crude cirction method of the ''Blessed refining technique''. ''Also, ording to my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, there are no more demons in the middle section of the cursed wilderness.'' Ajax thought back to the voice transmission he got from his summons and felt it was way too easy in clearing the demons this time. ''However, there is still no system notification regarding the aplishment of the mission. So, there must be more demons somewhere.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after checking the iplete mission in his Quest tab. ''Swosh'' ''sh'' Just as Ajax was thinking of contacting his summons to warn the other spirit beasts to stay alert, Ajax noticed a silhouette was rushing towards him at an incredible speed and he used ''Teleport'' to dodge the iing silhouette. However, he was still unable to escape the attackpletely as he received a small cut on his back. "Interesting¡­.you are the first human to escape my attack with just a small cut." An errie voice resounded from the distance and Ajax saw a shining golden demon lick his de that had Ajax''s blood on it. "I am tired of fighting you guys. But still, I have to kill you." Ajax shook his head and didn''t think much as he felt he was another golden demon from the army. ''Circte.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t attack direclty; instead, he ciruted his crude cirction method three times which took him three minutes. For the entire time, the demon looked at Ajax with a confused look as he didn''t understand what Ajax was doing. "Looks like you must be shocked to death after seeing me, right? Don''t worry, I will give you a painless death." Since he had other things to do, the golden demon king didn''t waste any more time as he rushed towards Ajax with full speed. "Advanced spatial des." As for Ajax, since he finished circting the crude method, he didn''t waste any more time and directly used his long range skill at full power. "You are not going to hit me with it." The golden demon scoffed at Ajax as he easily dodged all the spatial des and appeared in front of Ajax, making Ajax be a little anxious. "Now, die." ''Teleport'' However, just as the golden demon was about to slit Ajax''s throat, Ajax once again used ''Teleport'' and disappeared from his ce. "Swoosh" "Advanced spatial des." Before the golden demon could recover from his shock, Ajax reappeared behind him and ced his hands on the golden demon''s back before using the full powered advanced spatial des. "I am not the one who is going to die, it is you." At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget to say these words as the golden demon was sted away by the stial des with a huge force. ''Boom'' ''Thud'' The golden demon fell a few meters away from Ajax; however, Ajax was surprised to see that the golden demon was still not killed with his full powered Advanced spatial des. ''I know the golden demon has good defense but this is a little too much.'' Nevertheless, he walked closer to the demon with a slight smile on his face as he thought of something better to do with him. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1252 - Special Demon Brothers Since the golden demon in front of him looked a little stronger than the other golden demons he had killed so far, Ajax felt he must have a high ranking in the demon army. So, he decided to use him to learn more about their n. ''I hope he will give me all the information soon.'' The demons were training to not speak about their information to others no matter how much they were tortured. So, Ajax was hoping that the golden demono in front of him should not be a tough nut to crack. "Cough" As for the golden demon, his back had multiple deep cuts as ck blood oozed out of them. After coughing a mouthful of blood, the golden demon struggled to stand up from the ground as he looked at Ajax with eyes filled with bloodlust. ''If my cultivation was not sealed, then I would have killed him with a snap of my fingers.'' The golden demon was injured this much for the first time in centuries or more. So, he felt he should not leave Ajax in one piece as he clenched his fists and shouted at Ajax. "You are a worthy opponent for me to use this item." After finishing his words, the golden demon tossed a ck coloured pill into his mouth. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' Soon, his body started growing and all the injuries on his body started recovering at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. ''Huh? He had a trump card?'' Ajax was only surprised for a moment; however, when he thought about all demon invasion and the high-level mission from the system, Ajax was no longer surprised. "Before you canplete your transformation, I am going to kill you." ''Shadow clone'' ''Advanced spatial des.'' In the next second, a simr looking Ajax appeared beside him as they both rushed towards the transforming golden demon. At the same time, he didn''t forget to use the spatial des to disturb the golden demon from finishing his transformation. "Haha¡­do you think I will let you attack me again?" However, before the spatial des could reach the golden demon, a barrier appeared out of nowhere that deflected all the spatial des. "As long as I have this barrier, you can''t touch me and once I finish my transformation, I will kill you slowly and painfully¡­.Haha." The golden demon was excited when he thought about how he was going to torture Ajax and chuckled while mocking Ajax. "Is that so?" However, Ajax didn''t stop rushing towards the golden demon as he scoffed, "But I was not nning to kill you with my spatial des anyway." ''Huh?'' The golden demon frowned when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he was confident in his barrier that came with his demonicw. As for Ajax, as soon as he finished his words, he shouted, ''Inheritance sword'' A huge sword that shone with bright golden coloured light appeared in Ajax''s hands which he swung at the barrier. ''Kacha'' The barrier that the golden demon was so proud of was destroyed with just a single sh by Ajax. What''s more, Ajax didn''t even use his grade 5 sword dao while he shed the inheritance sword at the barrier. "What? How is it possible?" The golden demon who was yet to finish his transformation was shocked when he saw the barrier get destroyed and the human was shing the huge sword at him. "Who dares to kill my brother?" At the same time, Ajax heard a furious voice from the distance and saw a simr looking golden demon king was rushing towards him. "Huh? Your brother?" Ajax was surprised for a moment to see another golden demon; however, in the next second, he became happy and said to the golden demon in front of him, "I thought of interrogating you; however, you can go to hell now as I will torture your brother." "sh" Just as he finshed his words, Ajax decided to kill the golden demon in fornt of him. "Wait¡­don''t torture my brother. I will tell you everything you want to know." Surprisingly, the golden demon in front of him begged Ajax not to torture his brother. ''...'' Ajax was speechless when he heard the golden demon''s words as he looked at the golden demon that was rushing towards them at an incredible speed. Actually, Ajax didn''t expect the demons to value the lives of their kin or other demons because all he heard about the demons was that they were so cruel that they would devour their own kin to increase their strength. ''Looks like I am wrong. There will be demons who value their kin.'' Ajax got the revtion into something new today as he asked the golden demon in front of him, "Cancel your transformation and ask your brother to calm down; otherwise, you know what will happen, right?" Ajax''s words made the golden demon shiver a little as he shouted at his iing brother, "Kal, stop attacking and keep quiet." After seeing how easily Ajax was able to break his barrier, the golden demon was very sure that the human in front of him could easily kill him, not to mention, his little brother who was a little weaker than him. So, there was no hesitation in him that made him nod his head and followed Ajax''s orders. "Brother Xal?" The iing golden demon stopped in his tracks without any hesitation; however, he looked at his big brother and asked what''s happening. "I told you to keep your weapon aside." The golden demon knew what his little brother was thinking; however, he didn''t want anything to happen to him. So, he could only try his best in answering Ajax''s question? in order to let his little brother escape. "Good. Your little brother listens to it well." Ajax was surprised when he saw how the golden demon''s brother listened to him without asking any question and thought, ''These two are definitely different from other demons.'' "So, shall I start asking the questions?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked the golden demon in front of him. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1253 - Learning About Demon Conquest "So that''s what you demons are nning." After having a good question and answer session with the golden demon in front of him, Ajax learned everything about the demon''s ns for the Zrochester province and the entire Purple stone world. First, he learned he and his brothers were two of the ten demon kings that came with a demon apostle to invade the Zrochester province. And that''s not even the biggest issue here. The biggest thing he learned from the golden demon king was that the five demon emperors had sent three of their personal demon apostles and 100 high-level demon kings each along with hundreds of thousands of normal king realm demons and countless elite demon generals. "And where are they nning to attack?" Ajax getting the outlook of the demons'' ns, asked about the day and time of the main attack. If they seeded in the main attack, the entire purple stone world is controlled by the demons and humans became ves to them. Moreover, Ajax knew that he would soon receive another mission regarding the main attack on the Ylercester province that affects the entire purple stone world. So, he decided to prepare for it. ''Even if there is no mission, I will still kill the demon kings as I have to sacrifice the demon kings in one of the requirements in learning the ''Blessed refining technique''.'' This was the only thought in Ajax''s head as he was looking forward to killing the demon kings. ''As long as I kill at least a single low-level demon king, I can finally learn the ''Blessed refining technique'' and I wonder what type of benefits I will get from it.'' Ajax was even more excited when he thought about the benefits he would get from learning the ''Blessed refining technique''. Moreover, deep down, Ajax was expecting a lot of good benefits from the ''Blessed refining technique'' because other than the requirement which required him to sacrifice his skill, Ajax sacrificed more than what the system asked for the remaining requirements. So, the least thing he could do was expect good returns for his investment. "I don''t know the exact date or time or I don''t even know how they were nning toplete the conquest of the purple stone world." The golden demon king shook his head as he continued, "However, what I know is that the demon invasions willst in thest round. At that time, all the demons will receive some kind of signal from the demon apostles and that''s when the true invasion begins." "Oh." Ajax was already satisfied with all the information he gained from the golden demon as he nodded his head before asking, "Is there anything else that I need to know?" "It is not rted to the purple stone world but it is rted to a human with the divine dragon." The golden demon thought for a moment before deciding to talk about the human with the divine dragon who became famous in the territories of the five demon emperors. "Huh? A human with the divine dragon? What about him?" Ajax raised his brows and curiously asked the golden demon about it. Since the so-called ''Human with the divine dragon'', of course, he would be curious to know all the information about it. However, after listening to the golden demon, Ajax shook his head with disappointment. Because it had either something that he already knew or something that just rumoured that were created about him. Ajax was not interested in those rumours which were meaningless even for the demons, not to mention him. "Young human, I already said everything I know about the demon n. Can you let my younger brother go?" After waiting for a few moments, the golden demon named Xal, who gave all the information regarding the demons and their n, asked Ajax to let his younger brother go. "Sure. I will let him go; however, can he swear that he would remain silent about the things that happened here?" Ajax had something else in his head; however, he asked something else to test it. "Kal, you heard the human. You are not allowed to say it to anyone and you need to hide from others until this is all over. What do you say?" For Xal, there was nothing more important to him than his younger brother. So, as soon as he heard Ajax''s words, he directly looked at his younger brother Kal and asked him to hide for some time. "I can do that." The younger brother named Kal nodded his head at Xal and in the next second, he looked at Ajax and asked, "What about my brother? Are you going to kill him?" When he asked the second question, Kal was very serious and he was ready to lunge at him if Ajax gave a reply that he didn''t want to hear. "What if I kill him? I am only sparing your life in exchange for the information your brother gave me." No matter how powerful the golden demon brothers were, they were still below the King realm. So, Ajax was very confident in his skills when it came to fighting the two golden demon brothers. What''s more, the inheritance sword had already been upgraded to peak legend grade after merging with the second inheritance sword. So, there was no worry in Ajax''s face as he replied with a scoff. "For that, you have to kill me." Kal had already expected that reply from Ajax as he knew humans would never spare a demon''s life. So, he decided to kill Ajax or die at the hands of Ajax. ''At least I have to try my best in saving my big brother.'' This was the only thought in Kal''s head as he rushed towards Ajax. "Oh¡­Kal. Do you think you can defeat me?" Ajax shook his head as heughed at the iing golden demon and casually waved his newly upgraded inheritance sword at the iing demon. "Kal¡­stop." Xal, who was watching this, was shocked as he tried to stop Ajax''s attack to save his brother. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1254 - [Bonus ]System Doesn’t Like Demons When Ajax swung his inheritance swords, a simple but sharp sword wave was generated that rushed towards Kal, the younger golden demon. However, before it could hit Kal, his older brother rushed forwards and stood in front of him before activating his barrier. ''Kacha'' However, just like before the barrier was unable to stop and the sword wave easily broke the barrier and made a deep cut on his body. "Human, my little brother is young and doesn''t know what he is doing. Please let him go, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Despite bleeding, Xal didn''t bother to tend to his wound as he fell to his knees and asked Ajax to forgive Kal. "Brother, you don''t have to do this. If he wants to kill me, then just let him do it." Kal gritted his teeth as he shouted at his older brother. "What if your foolishness gets your brother killed? What do you say about it?" For Ajax seeing that demons who were supposed to not have such sentiments were always a surprising thing to do. Nevertheless, he scoffed at Kal for his hot-headedness to rush into the fight. "What?" Just like Xal, who cared for his young brother, Kal also cared for his older brother. So, when he heard Ajax''s words, he dropped the demonic swords in his hand without any hesitation and fell to his knees just like Xal. ''...'' Ajax was a little speechless to see why these two demons had high emotional valuespared to most humans. "Why don''t you suggest something in which I can get benefitted from not killing you?" This was the first thought that came to Ajax''s head when he saw the two golden demons cared for each other. However, that doesn''t mean he should let them go because if they return, they might divulge everything that happened here that might change the demons'' ns and he would lose that surprise element in attacking the demons. "We will swear¡­" "I don''t want your promise on the heavens or the demon god." Before the two golden demons could finish their words, Ajax rejected them without any hesitation. "Let''s do this." Seeing that the golden demons remained silent, Ajax could not waste any more time here as he directly said what he wanted. "I want you to be my ves and that''s the only way out for you." "What?" "No way. We will never be the ves of a human." The old brother Xal was shocked but he didn''t reject Ajax''s suggestion directly; however, the younger demon Kal rejected it without any hesitation. For him, it was better to die rather than be a ve to the human; however, his older brother''s thoughts said otherwise. "Brother, why are you not saying anything? Don''t tell me, you are seriously thinking about bing his ve?" Seeing that his older brother was not saying anything, Kal was shocked as he shouted at Xal. "Just tell me your decision. I don''t have all day just for you." Ajax urged them a little before he received some information that powerful golden demons started attacking them. ording to the intel, there were only four of them and they were not even working together; instead, they were fighting separately and taking on the different spirit beast armies and they were still able to stand while they were at it. ''Those four are the golden demon kings just like the ones in front of me. I need to kill them all soon and take care of the remaining four more golden demon kings that are going towards the mercenary guild.'' Earlier, from Xal, Ajax learned about everything from the demon''s ns to their sealed cultivation. So, he knew that the guild master and the other vagrant cultivators wouldn''t stand a chance against these demon kings who had the peak level demonicw. Moreover, all their skills and the battle experience were at King realm. ''Kal, do you really want to die for the race?'' ''What do you think the other demons will do to us if we go back?'' ''We should either hide for our entire lives.'' ''I think it is better to be this human''s ves as I can tell this human is definitely not normal.'' While Ajax was waiting for their decision, Xal tried to convince his little brother in bing the human''s ve. Even though he didn''t want to see his little brother bing the human''s ve, other than that, Xal didn''t find any other way for Kal to survive their current situation. ''Anyway, we are just changing our masters. Previously, we are the ves of the demon apostle who kills us even for a small mistake and right now, he will be having this human as our master.'' ''Compared to the demon apostle, I feel we will be treated much better under himpared to the demon apostle.'' ''Okay, Brother Xal. I will do as you say.'' Finally, after hearing Xal''s words, Kal decided to agree in bing a human''s ve. "Human, we will be your ves and follow your orders without any hesitation." Once both the golden demon brothers decided to be Ajax''s ves, they directly informed Ajax about their choice. "Good." Ajax was satisfied with the golden demons'' decision and if they wasted some more time, he would have not bothered with their reply anymore and directly killed them. ¡­.. At the same time in Ajax''s head. ''Ding, The system suggests the host not to give a chance to the demons. Kill them. ''What the hell? Isn''t it better to have the demon ves? With them, I can easily get ess to the demon worlds and other information.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know why the system was adamant about killing the demons, he didn''t find any reason to kill them as of now. Moreover, killing them would be a waste of two high-level king realm demons. ''Ding, The system doesn''t like demons. So, please kill them; instead of epting them as your ve. In return, the system can reward you with something. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1255 - I Want Your Origins ''What was that?'' Ajax was surprised by the sudden system notification in his head as he didn''t expect the system to say something like that. ''Ding, The system doesn''t like demons. Kill them and get a reward for doing so. ''What the hell?'' Ajax was annoyed as the system was repeating the same thing and didn''t give him any valid reason for why the system wanted him to kill the demons who were willing to be his ves. ''Give me a valid reason and I will do that.'' Ajax was adamant about finding out the reason why the system didn''t want him to take the demons as his ves. At the same time, he continued, ''Also, I already said you once, I will do whatever I feel like doing and I am not your ve.'' From the beginning, Ajax was doing the missions given by the system for two things. One, he liked the rewards and he wanted to feel the blood rushing fights and battles which he longed for from the time he listened to the stories of Elder Boron. There was even a time in the past where he opposed the system and helped the residents of the Shixato wilds from the Five elemental world. As a result, his cultivation was decreased by a single level; however, Ajax didn''t care and felt like protecting the bird tribesmen to repay the previous tribe head Qwerek who gave some good items which saved his life from the old bird monster. So, he was not following the system instructions if there were no valid reason behind it and he was not a ve to the system to do what it like and avoid what it doesn''t like. ''Ding, ¡­ The system remained silent and didn''t answer Ajax''s question. ''What happened? You don''t have a reason or what? Or do you want me to upgrade your level or am I not powerful enough to know the answer?'' Ajax asked a few questions and the system remained silent for a moment before sending a system notification. ''Ding, The system doesn''t like the demons and as long as the host kills them, you will be rewarded with something good. ''Huh? Now it''s time for you to tempt me with the rewards.'' Ajax shook his head; however, he didn''t reject the system''s offer directly because it would be the worst thing to do; instead, he asked, ''So, can you tell me what you are going to offer me?'' Since the system always gives random items, Ajax wanted to know the reward that the system would give him for killing the demons. ''Based on the reward, I will make my decision to kill the golden demon kings or not.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head which he intentionally thought such that the system would give him a higher reward. Ajax was not a saint and the same goes for the golden demon kings. They did what they feel right from their perspective and that''s how the world works. In the end, as long as Ajax receives a good reward from the system, he would not hesitate to kill both the golden demon kings as they were not his siblings or kin. ''Ding, The system will give you two smaller world cores for killing those two golden demon kings. ''Two smaller world cores?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before scoffing, ''Do you really think they are worth two smaller world cores?'' What Ajax said was right! As long as those two golden demon kings be his ves, Ajax could order them to conquer hundreds of smaller demon worlds with their true strength. So, Ajax didn''t even think before rejecting the system''s deal. ''Ding, ¡­.. ''Ding, One normal world core. The system was speechless at Ajax''s bargain skills; however, it quickly changed the reward it would give Ajax for killing the demon kings. ''Nope..not interested.'' Ajax quickly lost interest in the rewards provided by the system for not killing the golden demon ves. One normal world is nowhere near to the value he would get from two golden demon kings. ''System, even if you can give me a greater world core, I might not kill them. So, you better change the rewards if you really want me to kill them.'' Ajax said a few words to make the system understand the value of the two golden demon kings for him. One, he could use them as spies in the demon world just like how they make few humans as their spies by tempting them with some rewards. Two, he would get two loyal high-level king realm demons who would never betray him because of his spirit mark on their demon consciousness. Three, he uses them to conquer a few smaller demon worlds for him and bring them into his control. Overall, the system reward was not enough for him to kill the golden demon kings. ''Ding, Even if the system wants to give a great world core to you, it has no greater world cores in its possession to give. ''Ding, So, other than that, what do you want? The system also knew that it was impossible to change Ajax''s heart with such rewards anymore as he already got the ability to collect those items on his own. So, it asked what he wanted. ''Finally¡­I was waiting for this day toe where you ask me what I want.'' Until now, even though the system was rewarding with various items, it never asked him what he wanted. So, he always wanted to make the system ask him regarding what he wanted. With an excited look on his face, Ajax asked, ''Why don''t you tell me your origins?'' ''Ding, My origins? The system was a little surprised with Ajax''s question as it was unable to tell that Ajax was going to ask it. ''Looks l like he has developed a skill to keep his thoughts from me in such a short time.'' These were the thoughts of the system as it continued to think, ''Both father and son are monsters.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1256 - Demon Slaves ''Both father and son are monsters.'' The system could not help butpare Ajax with his father. Of course, Ajax didn''t hear the system'' thoughts as he waited for the system to answer his questions regarding its origins. As for the two golden demon kings, they were looking at Ajax without knowing that their lives were being traded for some reward with the system. Even though Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the two golden demon kings didn''t dare to disturb Ajax, fearing that the human might be waiting for them to do something. So that he could kill them. ''Kal, it is a test. Don''t do anything silly.'' ''How could I not know brother? This human is testing us to see whether we are loyal or not?'' The two golden demon kings were having their own voice transmission with each other and decided not to do anything silly and lose their lives in vain. ¡­ ''Yes, I want to know about your origins as I am pretty much interested in you.'' Ajax replied to the system when it asked him a question. ''Ding, I am programmed to not tell my origins until you are strong enough. It is for your own good. So, please choose another reward. ''Sigh'' Even though Ajax was already expecting that the system would deny his request by saying something like that, somewhere in his heart, he hoped the system would tell about its origins. Hearing those words, Ajax could not help but sigh as he prepared his next question. ''Do you know about my parents, right? I want to know about them.'' Which child didn''t want to know about their parents? If even they were heartless enough to leave him in front of an orphanage or for whatever reason it was. Actually, Ajax wanted to ask this earlier; however, when he thought about it, he felt learning the origins of the system would help him learn about his parents. Nevertheless, he had already guessed the system would deny it. So, he asked the system he would like to learn about his parents in exchange for the lives of the two golden demon kings. ''Ding, I don''t have permission to say it right now. ''Damn it¡­you say that and you say this¡­in the end, you said you don''t have permission.'' Ajax was furious when he heard the system''s reply to his question as he cursed it. ''Ding, Please choose a different reward. I will try my best to give it to you. As usual, the system asked him to ask for another reward. ''Do you know what? Just don''t bother with it. I will just keep them as my ves.'' If Ajax continued to y this game with the system, he would only get more and more annoyed with the system. So, he decided to not ask for any rewards from the system regarding the lives of the golden demon kings. ''Ding, Just one more time. If I can''t give you what you ask now, you can do as you wish. ''System, is there something wrong with you or what? Why do you want these golden demon kings dead so much?'' Seeing how adamant the system was and even asking him to choose the reward in order for him to kill the golden demon kings. ''Sigh¡­you won''t give the answer.'' Ajax shook his head as he decided to ask the system for onest time. ''Can you make me an Emperor realm cultivator directly¡­or even high-level king realm? will also do just fine?'' Ajax thought about it for a moment before asking the system about what he wanted. This time, he even gave a little discount to the system. ''Ding, Fine¡­looks like the host is adamant about making the golden demon kings your ves. Go, do whatever you want. The system, of course, didn''t have the power to make that happen. So, it could only give up and let Ajax do whatever he wanted to do. ''System, don''t make me look like a viin. If you give me a valid reason, I will kill them right away as these two golden demon kings are not my brothers or rtives.'' Ajax was serious when he said those words because thest reply from the system made him look like he was unreasonable when it was the system that was unreasonable for not telling him a? valid reason. ''...'' Nevertheless, the system didn''t say anything and Ajax also didn''t think much about it as he looked at the two golden demon kings. The older brother named Xal was looking very weak as he lost a lot of blood from the earlier injury that Ajax made on his abdomen. "Don''t resist." Without wasting any more time, Ajax asked the two golden demon kings to not resist as his spirit consciousness form entered into their bodies at the same time before leaving his spirit imprint on their demon consciousness. ''Ding, The host sessfully left his spirit imprint on the two golden demon kings and sessfully gained two demon ves. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with a high-level legend grade demonic cultivation technique. Do you want to learn it? Just as Ajax left his spirit imprint on the demonic consciousnesses of the two golden demon kings, he received a couple of system notifications that were not within Ajax''s expectations. ''Looks like I was worried for nothing.'' Earlier, Ajax was a little worried because he assumed that the system was vengeful and would not give him any rewards from now on. However, after seeing that not only did the system congratte him but it also gave him a reward, which made him pleasantly surprised. ''I will check out the reward in a while.'' Ajax didn''t check the new demonic cultivation technique directly as he looked at the two golden demon kings in front of him and thought about their demonic consciousnesses. ''So, that is what a demonic consciousness looks like.'' Unlike the human'' spirit consciousness, it was pitch ck, giving him chills; however, he finished it easily as he have the title ''Contract breaker''. ''Anyway, let''s check the reward.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1257 - [Bonus ]Golden Fire Demonic Refining Technique # Bonus chapter for reaching 400 Golden Tickets. ''Anyway, let''s check the reward.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax opened the reward to see the high-level legend grade demonic cultivation technique. ''ording to what I know, all the demonic cultivation techniques are pretty evil. But, there is no harm in checking the information on the cultivation technique, right? As long as it doesn''t require me to sacrifice young children or young girls, I can even give it a try and learn it if it has good effects.'' This was the reason why he wanted to check the information on the demonic cultivation technique. "Xal greets the master." "Kal greets the master." However, before he could check the information on the cultivation technique, Ajax saw the two golden demon kings bow to him. But the thing that caught his eyes was the weak look on Xal''s face, making Ajax nce at the deep cut on Xal''s abdomen. ''Heal'' Since they were his ves, Ajax didn''t want them to die just like that. So, he healed Xal using three units of the Sacred Astral Energy. "Thank you, master." Xal was surprised to see that Ajax was not only a good fighter but he was a healer too. Nevertheless, he didn''t forget to thank Ajax. "It''s nothing. Since you are my ves, I will take care of you, guys; however, I don''t keep trash working under me." "Also, I don''t care about your past or whatever you did until now. From now on, you will kill who I point my finger at without any hesitation." "Be it a demon king or even the demon emperor." "Do you understand?" Earlier, Ajax was so surprised with the reward that he forget to say a few things to his demon ves. So, he wanted to let them know their new rules and how they would be going to live from now on. "We will do as you say, master." After seeing how capable Ajax was at such a young age, the two golden demon kings knew that as long as Ajax matured without dying in the middle, he would be an emperor realm cultivator. At that time, even demon emperors would not dare go anything against their master. But the only question is, whether Ajax would be that strong or will he die halfway? Nevertheless, they no longer have that option as they already allowed Ajax to leave his spirit imprint on their demonic consciousness. "Good. Rest for a bit as we will get busy soon." Ajax already confirmed that the situation was still under control and it was a stalemate between the golden demon kings and the spirit beast armies. Both sides were unable to damage each other. ''Ding, Cultivation technique name:- Goldenfire demonic refining technique. Grade:- High-level legend grade. Effects:- 1) The demon can refine the demonic energy within 100000 kilometers. 2) The demon can convert the demonic energy into a golden fire that can not only help the demon in refining his body but can also be used as a weapon to attack his enemies. Special skill:- Goldenfire burst. Skill description:- Using at least 80 percent or more golden fire inside the demon''s body, the demon could st off everything within a radius of 100 kilometers. Note:- The skill needs at least 80 percent of the golden fire. More information:- A cultivation technique that was specially designed for the Golden demons by a human cultivator named Aaron Aplineswift. Just as Ajax finished his lecture to the two golden demon kings, Ajax received the system notification with theplete information ''What the¡­'' Ajax was amazed by the effects of the cultivation technique; however, when he thought about the grade of the cultivation technique, he was not surprised. At the same time, he was also not surprised to see there was a special skill because he already guessed that a high-level legend grade cultivation technique would have something like this. ''But what''s with this fallen genius?'' However, the thing that shocked Ajax the most was the ''More information'' regarding the cultivation technique because it mentioned that it was created by a human. What''s more, the human was none other than the fallen genius. ''Is he like creating the cultivation techniques that much? He even went as far as creating a high-level legend grade cultivation technique special for the golden demons.'' Ajax didn''t understand why a human genius created something like that. ''I wonder whether he created the cultivation techniques for other demon races.'' Ajax wondered about it for a moment; however, he no longer thought about it when he heard that the situation for his spirit beasts and the elemental spirits was getting out of control. "Let''s go. We have got work to do." Without wasting any time, Ajax confirmed the location of his elemental spirit that seemed like it was in a very critical situation. He ordered the golden demon kings to follow him as he rushed towards that location. "Yes, master." The golden demon kings were in perfect condition after getting a heal from Ajax as they rushed after their master. .... Somewhere in the depths of the middle section of the cursed wilderness. "Haha¡­I never thought I would find two rare auxiliary elemental spirits in a ce like this." A huge golden demon king looked at two elemental spirits Septon and Haze, who were Metal and Mist elemental spirits respectively and they were considered very rare even in a greater world. Since the golden demon emperor does the business by selling the elemental spirits, almost all of the demon kings knew the value of an auxiliary elemental spirit, not to mention two of them. "What''s more, I can use the elemental spirit stone of that metal type to break into the emperor realm after my seal is gone." The golden demon king had already swallowed a pill that increased his powers to nearly the king realm; however, his prowess stillcked a little bit. ''Let''s see who is going to save you now? Your summoner?'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1258 - Weapon Skill:- Golden Barrier ''Let''s see how it is going to save you now? Your summoner?'' The golden demon king''s powers had almost reached the King realm after using some transformation pill. So, he was confident in killing the two elemental spirits along with other spirit beasts. Actually, no one was his match because his original strength was high-level king realm and even after sealing his cultivation, he broke through the limits to increase his powers closer to the king realm. If not for two auxiliary elemental spirits, it would have been even terrible for the spirit beast army. "Now, die." The golden demon king felt he had already wasted enough time against them and decided to kill the elemental spirit beasts and the spirit beasts behind them. "Everyone, let''s attack together." However, Nameless cultivator who was currently in charge of the spirit beasts behind him shouted giving his full support to the two elemental spirits. Even without their help, the two elemental spirits fought very well against the demon king. So, Nameless cultivator thought as long as they fight together they would win against the golden demon king. "Haha¡­you think you can defeat me? In your dreams." As soon as he finish his words, the golden demon king startedughing as he shouted, ''Demon staff'' A long golden coloured staff appeared in his head as he swung it at the group of spirit beasts that were sted away. "Did you see that? I can kill you with a single swing of my rod." The golden demon king was content with his simple attack as he praised himself. "If you swallow these pills, I will let you¡­Puchi" Looking at Nameless cultivator, two auxiliary elemental spirits and arge group of spirit beasts, the golden demon king was saying something; however, before he could finish his words, a huge sword came out of his chest. ''Thud'' That golden demon king didn''t even know who killed him as his lifeless body fell to the ground. "Master" "Summoning master." Nameless cultivators and others were excited to see Ajax who came to their rescue at the right time and hurriedly greeted him. "You did well. All spirit beasts can go back to your territories and rest well. Your battle is over." Ajax nodded his head as he looked at therge group of injured spirit beasts and ordered them to return. Since all the low-level demons were already taken care of, Ajax knew that these spirit beasts would onlye in his way while fighting the other golden demon kings and the demon apostle. "Yes, Master Ajax." As Ajax was the master of their leaders, he would be a master for them too. So, everyone nodded their heads as they returned to their territories. ''Puchi'' As they were leaving, Ajax pulled his inheritance sword out of the dead golden demon king''s body. ''Ding, The inheritance sword gained a skill ''Golden barrier'' from killing the golden demon king. ''Huh? Gained a skill already? Isn''t it just a one percent chance of gaining such abilities?'' Ajax was shocked as he looked at the huge sword in his hand. ''Ding, Weapon name:- Unknown (Inheritance sword). Grade:- High-level legend grade. Effect:- 1) It can pierce through the defence of anyone below the emperor realm. 2) 1 percent chance of gaining one of the skills of the targets killed by it. Skill:- Golden barrier. Skill description:- A golden barrier forms around the user for five minutes that could block all attacks of a low-level king realm cultivator and below realm cultivators. Soon, the holographic screen appeared in front of him with theplete information on the inheritance sword. Ajax had already seen it; however, he didn''t think much about the second effect and he was very content with the first effect of ''Ignore defence'' of anyone below the emperor realm. ''It is a pretty useful skill.'' Ajax nodded his head and closed the system window in front of him as he looked at the two auxiliary elemental spirits and Nameless cultivator who were injured a little bit severely. ''Ding, Used three units of the Sacred Astral Energy Even though it was not severe enough to kill them, it would take quite a bit of time to recover on their own. So, he used the Sacred Astral Energy to heal them. "Thank you, master." The three of them felt their hearts warm when they saw that their master used a valuable energy ''Sacred Astral Energy'' to heal them. So, they could not help but thank them. "Let''s go. We still have a few golden demon kings to take care of." Ajax didn''t waste any time as he rushed towards the other elemental spirits and the spirit beast armies that needed his help. ¡­ ''What the¡­'' However, the remaining three golden demon kings were killed by his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts along with the help of other spirit beast kings. "Brother Ajax, did you see that. I killed that powerful demon king." The primitive ape king, as usual, sought Ajax''s attention as he proudly informed Ajax about his achievement. "Yes, master. He killed the golden demon king on his own." The other elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads, agreeing to the primitive ape king''s words. "Good. I know I can rely on you." Ajax praised the primitive ape king with a slight smile on his face. Even without any bestialw, the primitive ape king of able to defeat two of the spirit beast kings with bestialws. Now, the primitive ape king had awakened a bestialw and of course, Ajax knew he could rely on him. That''s the reason why he arrivedte at the ce where Primitive ape king was stationed as he knew the ape king could take care of the golden demon king. "So, what shall we do now?" The primitive ape king was happy to hear Ajax''s praise and asked about their next task. "It''s time to fight more demon kings." With a slight smile, Ajax looked in the direction of the Mercenary Guild. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1259 - All Requirements Are Met ording to what Ajax learned from the golden demon kings, he knew there was a total of 10 golden demon kings that entered the Zrochester province after sealing their cultivations along with a demon apostle. Among them, the demon apostle sent six golden demons kings to take care of the summoner and the other spirit beast kings including the king of the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''I made two of them as my ves killed two of them and thest two was killed by the Primitive ape king and Zen, the assassin type elemental spirit.'' While rushing towards the mercenary guild, Ajax recalled everything he learned from Xal as he continued, ''The remaining four will first kill the vagrant cultivators before going for the other top-level cultivators in the Zrochester province.'' ''As long as I kill the four high-level demon kings, I can leave for the Ylercester province without any worries.'' Actually, the system only asked him to disrupt the ns of the golden demon emperors and with what Ajax along with his summons and the spirit beasts did to the demons, the mission could be considered as finished. However, the system was not giving thepletion notification. ''Is it because of the earlier incident?'' Ajax could not help but think about the time he went against the system; however, he was not regretting the decision he had made so far. ''Also, I will kill the four more demon kings and conclude the mission whether you like it or not.'' ording to what he knows, as long as he said that he had finished the mission, the system should consider it aspleted if he fulfilled the objective of the mission. However, Ajax had his own reasons for wanting to kill the four more high-level demon kings. ''Earlier, with the golden demon king I killed,? I have sessfully fulfiled all the requirements to learn the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique''.'' Ajax checked thetest notifications in his inbox with great excitement on his face. ''Ding, The host killed a high-level golden demon king. ''Ding, It is counted into thest requirement of learning the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique''. ''Ding, The host haspleted all the requirements and continued to sacrifice more for the other requirements. Do you want to learn the cultivation technique or do you want to continue to sacrifice more? To those system notifications, Ajax didn''t have to think much as he chose to continue with the sacrifice option. Even though it was not confirmed whether he would get good returns if he sacrificed more than what the system asked him to sacrifice, it wasmon sense that he would get good returns. ''Nevertheless, I only killed two demon kings which is my second least sacrifice I made towards the six requirements. Moreover, there are a whole lot of them waiting for me in the Ylercester province to get killed in my hands. So, it would be a waste to learn it now.'' With those thoughts in his head, Ajax decided to not learn the cultivation technique now as he was not in need of any special effects or skill as of now. ¡­.. At the entrance of the cursed wilderness that was close to the Mercenary Guild. "Looks like what Ajax said was true." The guild master was fighting a golden demon as he said to the remaining vagrant cultivators. With Seward and Elek gone, currently, there were only four vagrant cultivators in the Zrochester province who were fighting four golden demons. "Looks like it." The Veiled matriarch, Sandra nodded her head as he looked at the four golden demons in front of them and said, "However, these golden demons look very powerful as though they were demon kings." "Yes. I feel the same." The guild master and the others nodded their heads agreeing to her words. "Haha¡­as expected of vagrant cultivators. You could guess that much just after a few rounds of punches." One of the four golden demon kings chuckled as he agreed to the vagrant cultivators and told, "That''s right! Our original cultivation is high-level king realm. For the sake of conquering this province, we had to seal our cultivations." "Since there were only four vagrant cultivators, shall we y with them and see what their true prowess are?" Another golden demon king suggested it to the other demon kings. "Brothers, we should finish it as soon as possible and continue with the n." However, there was one golden demon king that wanted to kill the four vagrant cultivators as soon as possible before resuming their n. "What is the hurry, brother?" "That''s right, brother. These vagrant cultivators had killed so many of our underlings in the past and made it very hard for us to conquer this province. Why should we kill them in a single go?" "I agree with the other two." As a reply to the one who wanted to finish the things quickly, the three other golden demon kings quickly opposed as they wanted to seek revenge for their fallen brethren. At least that''s the reason they havee up with; however, the truth is, they just wanted to enjoy torturing the top cultivators of the Zrochester province. ''Sigh¡­these bastards are forgetting about the demon apostle and acting just like any other mission.'' This was not their first time doing something like this and the golden demon king who wanted to kill the vagrant cultivators as soon as possible also liked to torture on their missions. However, this time there was someone above them that was overlooking the mission and the other golden demon kings were forgetting that, making him sigh and curse at the same time. ''Nevertheless, I will just torture them to my heart''s content.'' The temptation of torturing the vagrant cultivators was not something that he could reject when the other golden demon kings wanted to enjoy. So, he decided to join them. "Looks like it''s been a while since we went all out against these bastards, right?" All of a sudden, the guild master said those words as he stood in a fighting stance. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1260 - [Bonus ]Crystal Armoured Winged Tiger King Despite learning the fact that the four golden demons in front of them had sealed their cultivation from high-level king realm to level 10 elite general, the guild master was not all worried. Instead, he was excited to know that the four in front of him were high-level golden demon kings because he could finally kill some demon kings which he was waiting for his entire life. Moreover, he even asked the three other vagrant cultivators about it. "Haha¡­of course. Finally, the heavens have heard my wish." "No matter how much experience they have in torturing others, I think we can easily take care of them." "I am also excited but I want all four demon corpses after we kill them as I heard they make good fertilizers for my herb garden." The remaining three vagrants were also excited and replied to the guild master with excited looks on their faces. Especially Ramon, the one who was also called ''The eternal nurturer'' was very excited as he was going to get the King grade fertilizers soon. "Haha¡­ humans are quite annoying as usual." Seeing the excited looks on the vagrant cultivators'' face, the four golden demon kings were annoyed; however, when they thought about how they were going to torture them soon, they were again excited. "Let''s start then." Soon, the both sides started the fight. ¡­. "My beasts, it is finally your time to shine. Come out and show your might." Ramon opened a huge portal in front of him and a total of five spirit beasts came out of it. "..." Looking at the five spirit beasts, the golden demon king who chose to fight Ramon was speechless and soon startedughing. "Are you trying to impress somedy or what? Don''t you have some powerful spirit beasts?" Whileughing the golden demon king mocked Ramon was summoning some cute and fluffy spirit beasts out of nowhere. That''s right! The five spirit beasts that came out of the portal were five small spirit beast cubs that were both cute and fluffy. The portal opened by Ramon was five meters in height; however, the spirit beast cubs are less than a meter. Moreover, their strength was only rank 3, making the golden demon king lose interest in his fight with Ramon. "Hey¡­can we swap our opponents?" That golden demon king asked another demon king who was about to start the fight with the ''Veiled matriarch''. "Haha¡­didn''t you force me to pick this old woman earlier? Now, go and fight those puppies." The other golden demon kingughed as he directly rejected the other demon king''s request. ''Damn it.'' The golden demon king could not help but curse at his luck as he picked the weakest vagrant cultivator. "So, be it, I am going to kill those puppies before killing that bastard." The golden demon king was frustrated and decided to kill them all. "Now, die." With that thought in his head, the golden demon king rushed towards killing those puppies that were barking at them in their cute voices. "What the hell? Why did youe out?" As for Ramon, he was shocked at the puppies that came out of the portal and shouted at them to go back into the portal. However, they gave a look at him for a moment before continuing to bark at them. ''Damn it¡­even these puppies are not respecting me.'' Ramon cursed at the puppies; however, he didn''t want them to die as their potenial is yet to be awkened. ''Swoosh'' So, he rushed forward to intercept the golden demon king; however, Ramon knew he could not reach there in time. "Looks like killing these cubs in front of your own eyes is not a bad thing." The golden demon king felt excited when he looked at Ramon''s expression and increased his speed even more. "Damn it¡­are you still not going toe out even when your cubs are going to die?" Finally, Ramon shouted as he called for someone. "Who dares toy their hands on my children." In the next instant, a loud voice came from the portal and at the same time, a huge spirit beast w was ced in front of the five spirit beast cubs. ''Huh?'' The golden demon king raised his brows as he looked at the huge paw in front of the cubs; however, he didn''t stop as he summoned a huge sword and shed at the paw. ''ng'' However, there was a metallic sound and the golden demon king was rebounded by the impact. "What?" The golden demon king bnced himself as he looked at the huge paw with a shocked look on his face. ''This is definitely a quasi king realm spirit beast. Looks like it is getting interesting.'' The golden demon king was shocked only for a moment before revealing an excited look as he felt blood rushing in his body for a fight. "Why are you still outside? Come in and stay with your mother." From the portal, the same loud voice came and the cubs instantly rushed into the portal without wasting a second. "As for you, who dared toy your hand on my children, I am going to make you regret your actions." Just as the voice finished speaking, a five meter huge spirit beast came out of the portal. The spirit beast waspletely shining under the sun because it had crystalline armour all over its body. It had two huge wings and the body of a tiger. "Crystal armoured winged tiger?" The golden demon king was surprised to see such a rare spirit beast and wanted to say something more. "You forget to add ''King'' while mentioning me." A powerful energy beam came out of its body that sted the golden demon king into the distance as the shining winged tiger said those words. "Crystal armoured winged tiger king." The other vagrant cultivators who saw the appearance of the winged tiger, could not help but feel pity for the golden demon king that wanted to fight Ramon. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1261 - Never Call A Woman ’Old’ Among the six vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon was the weakest one when it came to battle prowess; however, no one under the King realm was his match, including the other vagrants. In fact, he could be considered as the strongest vagrant cultivator. Because his strength lies in the spirit beasts he tamed and nurtured. Elder Ramon only cultivates to increase his cultivation realm so that he could collect more cultivation resources to nurture his secret realm ''The Eternal Garden''. Along with his secret realm, the spirit beasts, nts and trees could grow in their grade. "Cough" The golden demon king that was sted off into the distance coughed a mouthful of ck blood as he looked at the crystal armoured winged tiger king with blood-red eyes. "I will kill you and eat you for sure." After saying that, the golden demon king tossed a pill into his mouth and soon his body started transforming. "You? You want to eat me? Let''s see." The tiger king was very proud that it didn''t bother to show respect to Elder Ramon who was its master. So, the golden demon king was nothing for it as he directly mocked him. "Roar" Soon, the intense fight between the tiger king and the transformed golden demon king started as Ramon cheered the tiger king from the sidelines. .... "Olddy, why don''t you take off your veil and let me see your ugly face?" At the side, the golden demon king that was fighting Sandra joked with her as he summoned a dozen rank 6 demonic spirit beasts. As soon as they were summoned, the demonic beast rushed towards Sandra. "Why not?" Surprisingly, Sandra removed the veil on her face and smiled at the golden demon king. ''Beautiful'' For a moment, the golden demon king saw the face of a beautiful golden queen. ''Huh? What? Is it an illusion?'' It onlysted for a moment before the golden demon king saw the true face of Sandra which was an old middle-ageddy''s face. "Kill your master." However, in the next moment, he heard Sandra''s voice and saw that his own demonic spirit beasts were rushing towards him with an intent to kill him. "What the hell?" The golden demon king was shocked for a moment before bing serious and ordered, "Go back and rest." Since he was the one who summoned the demonic spirit beasts, the golden demon king thought he could send them back; however, he was unable to send them, making him grit his teeth. "Since you are out of my control, I can do only one thing now." After saying that, the golden demon king summoned a golden coloured whip out of nowhere and whipped at the demonic spirit beasts. ''Roar'' The moment the whipnded on the demonic spirit beast, it would leave a huge cut, making that demonic spirit beast cry out loud in pain. However, that didn''t stop any demonic spirit beasts; instead, they became even more furious as they stomped their way towards the golden demon kings. ''Damn it¡­my strength is not a high-level king realm anymore. I can''t even kill them in a single whip.'' If it was an old golden demon king, he would have killed all the demonic spirit beasts with a single whip; however, now, he can''t even kill a single one of them. "Looks like I have to use the pill too." Shaking his head, the golden demon king swallowed the pill and started his transformation. As for the demonic spirit beasts or Sandra, the golden demon king didn''t worry at all as he would be protected by a golden barrier until his transformation ispleted. ''ng'' ''Roar'' Just like he thought, the demonic spirit beasts were stopped by the golden barrier, making him reveal a smile on his face. "Silent moon strike" However, in the next second, the golden demon king''s smile froze when he saw the humandy in the distance turn into a sh of light and break through his golden barrier and stand in front of him with a slight smile on her face. "So, How dare you call me an olddy?" Even though Sandra was smiling, the golden demon king felt chills as he looked at her and because the transformation process was still in the middle, he was unable to move. "Damn it¡­I will stop the transformation process and escape from here." Stopping the transformation process in the middle would leave side effects on him and the golden demon king knew that he could not fight Sandra anymore unless he wanted to die. So, he abandoned his transformation process in the middle as he started running away from Sandra. ''Who the hell said that these vagrant cultivators are weak? Their cultivator''sws are already at the maximum level and they are only one step away from breaking into the King realm.'' While running away that golden demon thought about it as he continued, ''Thank god, I brought an escape talisman with me.'' The only reason why he was able to escape a few kilometers away from Sandra was because of the escape talisman that would teleport him a few kilometers away from his current ce. Back at the fighting ce. "Do you think you can escape from me that easily?" Sandra looked in the same direction that the golden demon king had escaped and ran in that direction as though she could clearly see the footprints of the golden demon king; however, there were none on the ground. "From their fight, what did you learn from this?" Esmund and the guild master who were enjoying their fight with the golden demon kings asked their opponents with a slight smile on their faces. "Huh?" The golden demon kings were also paying attention to the other fights beside them and saw everything that happened with Sandra and the golden demon king. With a confused look, they said, "Never underestimate your opponent?" "Nah¡­never call a woman ''Old''." Esmund and the guild master replied at the same time before continuing their fights. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1262 - Esmund, The Forger Of Essences After saying that, both the Guild master and Esmund resumed their full focus on their ongoing battle. ''ng'' Esmund, also known as ''The forger of essences'', was mming his huge hammer at the golden demon king who was blocking his attacks with a golden shield. ''If I don''t have this legendary shield, then it would have been a difficult thing for me to fight against this monster.'' The golden demon king looked at Esmund by slightly moving his golden shield; however, in the next second, another hitnded on the golden shield. Even though he was able to block Esmund'' strikes, with each strike, the golden demon king''s entire body was shivering and rejoiced for bringing his legend grade shield. ''I will continue to block his attacks and the moment he feels tired, I can torture him.'' This was the thought in the golden demon king''s head as he continued to block Esmund''s attacks without using the transformation pill. ''Thud'' ''ng'' ''Thud'' However, with the passage of each second, the golden demon felt something was not right because he felt the impact he was receiving was increasing with each strike. ''Damn it¡­if it continues, I can''t withstand his attacks anymore.'' After a 10 or so strikes, the golden demon king noticed that Esmund was not all tired; instead, Esmund looked excited, making the golden demon king think that he need to change the strategy. "Golden shield, time to transform into your second form." With that thought in his mind, the golden demon king used all his strength to push Esmund away with his golden shield before ordering it to transform. ''Kacha'' However, the golden shield didn''t transform; instead, it let out some cracking noises before turning into pieces. "What?" The golden demon king was shocked when he saw what happened to his favourite artifact as he looked at Esmund with furious eyes. "By the way, I can modify the effects of the weapons and artifacts with my darling here." Looking at the angry golden demon king, Esmund kissed the huge hammer in his hands as he continued, "Even though it was a legend grade artifact, it belongs to the lowest category of the artifacts in the legend grade." Esmund mocked the destroyed artifact that belongs to the golden demon king. "Damn you. I am going to kill you for destroying my artifact." The golden demon king emitted ckish golden light around his body as he rushed towards Esmund at an incredible speed that Esmund could barely see. ''Punch'' ''Punch'' "Die, you insect." The golden demon king had gone crazy and the only thing in his head was to kill Esmund at any cost. Before Esmund could swing his huge hammer, the golden demon king had already appeared right in front of him and continuously punched Esmund. "Looks like your friend is going to die¡­Hehe." The golden demon king that was fighting the guild masterughed as he informed the guild master about it. "Haha¡­you have already lost two of your friends and you are the one to talk about losing friends." In return, the guild master replied with a lightugh, which made the golden demon king annoyed as he thought, ''How the hell are they so strong? If they enter the king realm, then it would be more troublesome for the demon kings to conquer this world. I need to kill them here at any cost.'' ording to the information they got, the vagrant cultivators were strong; however, not as strong as quasi king realm cultivators. Actually, it was not their fault because the vagrant cultivators didn''t use their full prowess until now because they didn''t get to use them. They tried to conquer their enemies with only 50-75 percent of their battle prowess and kept many trump cards hidden from everyone for situations like today. "By the way, it is? not my friend who is going to die; instead, it will be another one of your friends who is going to die." With a slight smile on his face, the guild leader informed the golden demon king he was fighting. ''What? Impossible. He is using his life force to attack that human and it is impossible for the cultivators below the king realm to stop him.'' The golden demon king had an unbelievable look on his face as he looked at the fight between the crazy demon and Esmund. "Heavenly smash" ''Boom'' Esmund looked like he didn''t feel anything even when the golden demon king was punching at him; instead, he smashed his huge hammer onto the ground that made the golden demon king that had gone crazy flying into the air along with the lumps of sand. "Now, it is time to say goodbye." With a slight smile on his face, Esmund left his huge hammer on the ground and used his two hands to m the golden demon king into the ground. "Thud" The golden demon king''s body was filled with cracks as he had a shocked look on his face. Even in his death, that golden demon king didn''t understand how Esmund was able to kill the demon king who was using his life force just like that. "Hey, are you not going to finish your opponents? Or do you need my help in defeating them?" After killing the golden demon king, Esmund stretched his body a little as he looked at the guild master and asked with a slight smile on his face. "Haha¡­Esmund, are you asking for a beating or what?" The guild master replied Esmund with augh; however, Esmund was shuddered at those words and instantly said, "I think you can defeat him without any problem." "Looks like you still remember about yourst beating. Good." The guild master was satisfied with Esmund''s reply as he looked at the golden demon king in front of him. "Foolish human, if you are really that powerful, you should have already killed me; however, now that I have finished my transformation, I will finish you off easily¡­Haha." The golden demon kingughed as he rushed towards the guild master. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1263 - [Bonus ]Five High-level Legend Grade Weapons # Bonus chapter for 500 Golden Tickets. (yet to reach) "I am going to kill you today at any cost." The golden demon king who used the transformation pill while the guild master was replying to Esmund shouted at the guild master. He didn''t stop just with the transformation pill, the golden demon king even burned his life force to kill the guild master in a single swoop along with the other vagrant cultivator. ''As long as I kill these vagrant cultivators, even if I don''t finish the mission, I will be rewarded heavily since everyone is killed.'' Even before he could kill the guild master, that golden demon king fantasized about killing the other vagrant cultivators and gaining the rewards from the demon apostle. "Die" The golden demon king reached the guild master in no time as he threw a punch at the Guild master that sted the guild master a dozen meters away. "Guild master." Esmund, Sandra, who had just returned after killing her opponent, Ramon who was encouraging the tiger king to toy with his opponent, were shocked when they saw the huge golden demon king st away the guild master. "Haha¡­I heard you are the leader of the vagrant cultivators. Looks like you are not that powerful." The golden demon king was surprised that he was able to easily punch the guild master away; however, he used it to mock the guild master. "Don''t worry, I will kill you and send you all to stay together with your leader¡­Haha." After confirming that the guild master was not as strong as he thought he would be, the golden demon king was full of himself as he mocked the rest of the vagrant cultivators. "Don''t be full of yourself¡­.you brainless demon." From the distance, the guild master''s voice resounded, making the huge golden demon king raise his brows for a moment; however, he shook his head and said, "So, you are still alive. Looks like you are a cockroach that needs to be crushedpletely to die." After finishing his words, the huge golden demon king rushed towards the guild master. "You are in such a hurry to kill me. Didn''t you say you wanted to torture me?" The guild master was not worried at all as he calmly looked at the huge golden demon king that was rushing towards him and said a single word, "ck prison" As soon as he said that, a cage made up of unknown ck-coloured material appeared in the sky and caged the demon king. "Boom" The huge golden demon king thought he could destroy the cage; however, he was rebounded the moment he touched the cage. "What is this?" The demon king was barely keeping his sanity as he was burning his life force; however, the moment he met with a hurdle, it made him lose thatst bit of sanity andpletely became a crazy demon just like the one that Esmund killed. However,pared to that demon king, this one was clearly bigger and stronger. "I will kill you" "I will kill you" . . The huge golden demon king repeated the same sentence again and again as he mmed against the cage, only to be rebounded back by it. "It''s punishment time." The guild master revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at the crazy demon in the cage and muttered, "Come forth my weapons." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said that, five shining weapons appeared in front of the guild master. "Here he goes again. It''s time for him to show off." "What can we do about it? He has the legend grade weapons and he shows off." "Now, I have to seal the entire area just to cover his trump cards." The three vagrant cultivators who saw the guild master summoned five shining weapons in front of him, shook their heads and their faces looked like they were clearly annoyed. That''s right! The five shining weapons that the guild master had summoned in front of him were all legend grade weapons. They are not just low-level legend grade weapons; instead, they were all high-level legend grade weapons that the guild master collected from the various inheritance grounds he entered in his life until now. Except for the vagrant cultivators, no one, including the protector Olek didn''t know about this because Esmund uses one of his artifacts to seal the entire area that blocks anyone from watching what''s happening inside the area. "Rae, just finish whatever you are nning to do to him in five minutes. Any more than that, your trump cards will be known by the Protector Olek and others." Esmund warned the guild master as usual before sitting on the ground as he watched what weapon the guild master was nning to use this time. "No problem. It will be over in a minute." The guild master knew he could always rely on Esmund and other vagrant cultivators and that''s the reason he was careless when summoning his five high-level legend grade weapons. The five weapons hovering in front of the guild master were a huge sword, a long spear, a medium sided halberd, a pitch-ck dagger and thest one was a longbow. "Which weapon should I kill you with?" The guild master asked the crazy demon inside the cage with a question mark on his face. "Aargh" However, the reply he got was an angry yell from the huge golden demon king. "Huh? You want me to pick the weapon? Okay then." The guild master acted like he was doing some kind of favour for the crazy golden demon king in the cage as he moved his hand and lightly touched all his weapons. "This dagger didn''t taste the blood of any demons after joining me. So, I will choose it." As soon as he stopped moving his hand from the pitch-ck dagger, the remaining four weapons disappeared after shaking a little as though they were disappointed for not being picked by the guild master. "Don''t worry. Everyone will get the opportunity in the future." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1264 - Extremely Powerful Vagrant Cultivators ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' As soon as he finished his words, the pitch-ck dagger hovering in front of him shook a little before splitting into two and two became four. In no time, a single dagger became a thousand daggers before they pierced through the huge golden demon king in the ck cage. "All that big talk finished in just two attacks." The guild master scoffed at the punctured golden demon king on the ground as he looked at others who had already finished killing their opponents. "You better be a king realm cultivator soon. Because of you, I am also stuck in my current realm." At the side, the crystal armoured winged tiger king scoffed at Ramon before going back into the portal. "Haha" Seeing that, the remaining vagrant cultivators could not help butugh at Ramon. ... A couple of kilometers away from the ce. "Huh? The guild master already killed that huge crazy golden demon king?" Ajax was observing everything that was happening between the golden demon kings and the vagrant cultivator; however, a few minutes ago, Ajax was unable to see what was happening as though someone had created some kind of barrier to stop others from looking at what''s happening inside. However, by the time he could see what''s happening inside, all the golden demon kings had died, making Ajax a little surprised. ''Looks like they were really not as simple as they look.'' Until now, Ajax thought they were strong; however, he didn''t imagine that they would be so strong that they could easily kill the high-level golden demon kings. Even though their cultivation was sealed and considered peak elite demon generals, it was still an achievement to kill him in such a short time. ''From what I had seen, I can tell that they would have no problem in killing the low-level king realm experts and they might even stand a chance against regr mid-level king realm experts.'' Ajax was still amazed at how powerful the vagrant cultivators were and thought, ''But, why did they stay here when they could go to the Zrochester province and breakthrough to the king realm?'' After witnessing their battle prowess, Ajax could tell that they were only restricted because of the Zrochester province. As long as they go to the Ylercester province, they could easily break through to the king realm. However, Ajax didn''t understand why they stayed back. ''Is it because they can''t leave the Zrochester province?'' For most of the cultivators, the ce they were born holds a great value to them and they were unwilling to leave it that easily and Ajax could think of only that as the reason for the vagrant cultivators not to leave the Zrochester province. ''Elder Elek and Elder Seward, both went to the Ylercester province and if my guess is right, they will not break through to the king realm because if they do, they can''t return to the Zrochester province.'' Ajax thought about it and wanted to check whether what he thought about them were right or wrong after entering the Ylercester province. Even though the king realm cultivators could enter the Zrochester province by sealing their cultivation, it would be very inconvenient for them in the long run. So, most of the king realm cultivators use the method of sealing their cultivation for a short duration and after finishing their mission, they would quietly return back to their provinces. ''Since all the demon kings are killed, only the demon apostle is left. As long as he shows up, I can kill him and go to the Ylercester province.'' Ajax didn''t want to enter the Ylercester province yet as there was still a demon apostle left for him to kill. ''Master'' As Ajax was in his thoughts while waiting for the demon apostle to appear, he heard Xal transmit his voice into his head. ''Huh? What is it?'' Ajax asked back with a confused look on his face as he didn''t understand why both the golden demon kings had worried looks on their faces. ''The demon apostle is summoning us back.'' The older brother Xal replied to Ajax as he continued, ''What shall we do now?'' Since they have be Ajax''s ves, they asked for Ajax''s orders on what to do next. ''Oh. So, what about the invasion of the Zrochester province? Is he noting here?'' Ajax frowned as he asked the two golden demon kings about the demon apostle. ''I think he might have already known about the death of all the golden demon kings except for the two of us, of course. So, he wants us to return back as soon as possible.'' ''From the looks of it, he is going to return to the greater demon world.'' Both Xal and Kal gave their thoughts about the demon apostle'' n, making Ajax nod his head. ''So, that''s it then. No more invasion of the Zrochester province?'' Ajax asked with an expressionless look on his face as he was not happy or sad that the demon apostle was stopping his invasion on the Zrochester province. ''Okay then. You can go back. I will contact you from time to time.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked both the golden demon kings to return to the demon apostle. ''But, master, how are you going to contact us? Also, what if the demon apostle or the demon emperor notices your spirit imprint in our demon consciousnesses?'' Both demon brothers were worried about the demon emperor or others finding out about them bing ves to the humans. If that happens, they would be given a slow and painful death in front of all the demons to show what would happen if they betray the demon race. ''Don''t worry about the spirit imprint. Even the demon emperor will not sense my spirit imprint in your bodies.'' Ajax knew what the demon brothers were worried about. So, he asked them not to worry about it as he continued, '' As for how I am going to contact you is, with these items.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1265 - Demon Brothers’ Goals ''As for how I am going to contact you is, with these items.'' While saying these words, Ajax took out two talismans that he bought in the trading realm. ''Ding, Item name:- World-ssmunication talismans. Use:- A pair of talismans that allows the users tomunicate with one another no matter where they are. Note:- Can only be used three times before turning into dust. A simple piece of information about the talismans appeared in front of Ajax as he gave one of the talismans to Xal, the older one among the demon brothers. ''This is¡­?'' The golden demon kings didn''t know about the talisman and asked about it while taking it from Ajax. ''What? Really?'' However, after Ajax exined to them about the usage of the talismans, they were surprised for a moment before taking it. "Remember one thing that we can onlymunicate three times with these talismans. So, you better use it when there is something important you want to say to me." Finally, Ajax stopped using the voice transmission as he spoke in a normal tone. "Also, cultivate using the cultivation technique I gave you. As long as you cultivate it, you too can be the demon emperors." At the same time, he also mentioned the ''Goldenfire demonic refining cultivation technique'' and asked them to cultivate it instead of their regr cultivation technique. Since it was a cultivation technique that was specially designed for the golden demons, Ajax didn''t worry much about it. Moreover, the stronger his demon ves bes, the more powerful he would be in the future. That''s the reason he gave the high-level legend grade cultivation technique just like that. "Yes, master. We will definitely cultivate it and prove their worth." The two golden demon kings bowed to Ajax before running into the middle section of the cursed wilderness to go back to the demon apostle. Even though they were yet to witness the greatness of the so-called ''Golden fire demonic refining technique'', from Ajax''s words, they got a brief introduction about the cultivation technique which was enough for them to say those words. If they could really be the demon emperors, then they would not be ashamed to call themselves Ajax''s ves because in-universe, an emperor realm cultivator is considered as the top cultivator whether it was low-level or mid-level or high-level emperor. Be it a human or demon. It doesn''t matter and all it matters is that bing an emperor realm cultivator opens up a lot of opportunities for the cultivators as it increases the lifespan of a cultivator from 1000 years to 5000 years. For demons, they never bothered about the method to achieve such a realm. Be it a righteous method or a sinister method. Even if they have to kill their kin, the demons usually didn''t flinch a little. For them, bing the ve to a human to reach the emperor realm was not shameful at all. ''Brother, is it really a high-level legend grade cultivation technique?'' While they were running back to the portal, the younger demon Kal asked his brother about the cultivation technique they received from their master. ''Why would the master lie about it? We are already his ves and even if he didn''t give such a valuable thing, we will obey him obediently.'' Xal shook his head as he continued saying, ''Whether it was a high-level legend grade cultivation technique or not, it doesn''t matter. Let''s just give it a try and find out its effects.'' ''Okay, brother.'' Kal nodded his head as there was no motive for Ajax to kill them now as they were already his ves and could kill them just with a thought anyway. So, there was no reason for Ajax to use a cultivation technique to kill them. ''However, if it is really a high-level legend grade cultivation technique, I think we have to change our living style and follow the path of an emperor.'' After thinking for a moment, Xal seriously transmitted his voice to Kal. ''I mean, we have to stay a little far away from the emperor and create our own force that will be willing to betray the current demon emperor.'' Xal knew his earlier words were a little difficult for Kal to understand. So, he exined his n in detail along the way. ''Br..brother, can we really do that?'' After hearing Xal'' n, Kal was surprised, excited and at the same time, his heart became anxious as he asked Xal about it. ''Everything depends on this cultivation technique.'' Xal replied with a slight smile on his face as he continued, ''However, you better not keep high hopes on it already and wait until we start cultivating.'' ''Okay, brother.'' Kal nodded his head; however, in his eyes, he was still fantasizing about the day when he and his brother both be demon emperors and overthrow the current golden demon emperor. ''...'' As Kal''s older brother, Xal easily noticed the look in Kal''s eyes and knew what he was thinking; however, he didn''t say anything and let his little brother have his goals and dreams. ''I hope such a day reallyes soon.'' Xal clenched his fists as they both increased their pace to return back to the cave from where they hade from. Actually, Ajax already knows about that ce; however, inside the cave, the demon apostles will have his full powers and Ajax knew he would be killed in an instant. So, he didn''t try to be a hero and decided to fight the demon apostles some other time. ... In the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Finally, I can enter the Ylecerster province.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and stretched his body a little. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Destroy the golden demon emperor''s n''. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a small world core and a normal world core. ''Ding, The aplishment rating was average. So, no additional rewards will be issued. ''...'' Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications in his head and thest one made him speechless. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1266 - [Bonus ]Conflict With Royal Servants ''...'' He was speechless because he guessed it was because of the little fight he had with the system; however, he didn''t bother much as he got the main rewards anyway. ''With the normal world core, I can be a level 3 elite general cultivator; however, let''s collect more of them before using all of them.'' For the current Ajax, he was already capable of going against the low-level king realm cultivators easily and currently, he didn''t have any dangers. So, he thought about using the normal world core after collecting a few more of them. ''Also, I can use it when I am heavily injured as absorbing the world cores has an additional ability to heal even severe injuries.'' Since the demons had nned to invade the Ylercester province in a few days, Ajax thought having a normal world core would be quite helpful while fighting against the demons. Not only can he have instant healing, but his strength would also increase a little bit. ''Time to enter the Ylercester province.'' After checking his rewards from the mission, Ajax thought of entering the Ylercester province. ''Ding, The barrier is currently moving deeper into the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''Ding, Your ability to pass through the barrier works only when you are within a 10-meter range of the barrier. Before he could ask the system about it, the system sent a couple of system notifications asking him to rush towards the barrier. ''Okay'' Ajax nodded his head and looked at the group of spirit beasts behind him. Primitive ape king, Diamond centaur, Winged Anubis and Stormy octopus. Except for the ape king, the remaining three were the spirit beast kings that rule the seventh, eighth and ninth ranked territories in the inner section of the cursed wilderness. Ajax thought he would need them while fighting against the demon apostle; however, since the demon apostle cancelled his n to invade the Zrochester province, they came to the outer section of the cursed wilderness for nothing. "Everyone, we have sessfully stopped the invasion. You can all go back to your territories and rx until I summon you the next time." Ajax ordered the three spirit beast kings to leave, and they nodded their heads before returning back obediently. "You have to take care of the territory until Darbaudres back." Next, he looked at the ape king and asked him to take care. Since the primitive ape king is not his tamed spirit beast, Ajax could only request his services. "Of course, I will. So, where are you going, brother Ajax?" The primitive ape king didn''t think much about helping Ajax take care of Gaimont''s territory. So,? he nodded his head and asked where he was going. "I am going to the Ylercester province." With a mysterious smile on his face, Ajax replied to the primitive ape king and asked, "Do you want to know how?" "Stop joking, brother Ajax. The barrier to the Ylercester province is already closed and you can''t enter it now." The primitive ape king shook his head. "Do you want me to show you how I do it? If you follow¡­" "Brother Ajax, I already said stop joking with me." However, before Ajax could finish his words, the primitive ape king interrupted Ajax as he continued, "I just remembered that I have a date with someone. Wish me luck." "I am not jo¡­" "Thank you. I gotta go now." The primitive ape king really looked excited and didn''t even bother to listen to Ajax as he rushed into the inner section of the cursed wilderness. ''This ape¡­'' Ajax was annoyed and irritated at the silhouette of the running primitive ape king; however, in the next moment, he shook his head and thought, ''I will just enter the Ylercester province.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax also rushed into the inner section of the cursed wilderness since the barrier is moving deeper into the cursed wilderness. ...¡­ In the Ylercester province. In front of the guest buildings of the Flerton royal family. As the geniuses from all over the Purple stone world were registering their names to participate in the contest, Paulin and Levi along with the group of elders who came with them were standing under the shade of a tree. Since Paulin and Levi were summoners, their registration process was finished. Even though the process was not very fast as there were a lot of summoners in the special line too,pared to the normal line, it was considered very fast. "My¡­my¡­isn''t this the famous thief of the Ylercester province?" While they were waiting for their friends to finish their registration process, an arrogant voice came from a distance that attracted the attention of everyone in the area, including the royal servants. "Famous thief?" "Isn''t he hiding in some hellhole?" All the royal servants and the geniuses of the Ylercester province muttered in an audible voice as they looked at the owner of the voice. "Yes. He was supposed to hide in a dimensional crevice that was connecting the two provinces, Ylercester and Zrochester; however, it looks like he came to participate in the contest." A young man in blue-coloured robes looked at Levi as he said those words. "What? Is he the same Levi that stole the heaven grade herb from the royal family?" The royal servant followed the sight of the young man and saw Levi who had an angry look on his face. At the same time, he walked towards Levi and asked, "Aren''t you ashamed to show your face after stealing the royal ingredient?" "Since you dared toe back, you will be taken to the royal court to decide what punishment you will receive." The royal servants didn''t give any time for Levi to speak or act as more than a dozen royal servants surrounded Levi. "I think there is some kind of misunderstanding. Why don''t we talk about it?" Seward stood in front of Levi and politely asked the head royal servant. "Kick him aside for interrupting the duty of the royal servants and bring him." "Huh? Do you dare?" All of a sudden, Seward''s body emitted a strong pressure as he said those words. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1267 - Challenging The Captain Of The Royal Guards Royal servant acted all high and mighty; however, Seward, who was also known as ''The revered protector'' could not endure their haughtiness as he stood in front of Levi. What''s more, he even emitted his peak elite general realm cultivation pressure while saying those words in a low and deep voice. ''You'' All the royal servants were furious when they saw someone was opposing them while emitting their cultivation pressure. This is an absolute disrespect to the royal family. "St..op releasaing your cultivation pressure anad stand aside." The head of the royal servant gritted his teeth as he asked Seward to stop emitting the cultivation pressure because his cultivation was only level 10 elite general realm andpared to Seward, who had a lot of battle experience, the head ofo the royal servant barely remained standing. "Is this how you treat someone after inviting them to participate in the purple stone world''s famous contest?" However, Seward didn''t retract his cultivation pressure as all the royal servants suffocated while Seward spoke a few words that made everyone standing there curiously look at Seward. How could the vagrant cultivators not know about Levi''s past? Before allowing into the disciple selection ceremony, Levi had already told them everything that happened to him in the Ylercerster province and how he was framed by the Flerton kingdom for something he didn''t steal. He also said how he had to hide the dimensional crevice that was connecting the two provinces Zrochester and Ylercester before meeting Ajax anding to the Zroceshter province. Even after learning that Levi could not go back to the Ylercester province, the vagrant cultivators promised him that nothing would happen to him and even said that as long as he showed his battle prowess and got a good ranking in the contest, no one could do anything to him. ''Putong'' At the same time, one after another, the royal servant started falling down as they could not handle the pressure from Seward and anymore except for the head of the royal servant. "Huh? What are you talking about?" The head of the royal servant clenched his fists as he looked at Seward and continued, "He is a wanted criminal by the royal family. If you don''t want to get into trouble, I suggest you retract your cultivation pressure and move aside. I will overlook youor brazzen actions." Even when he was barely standing, the head of the royal servant was still arrogant as he usually was while giving a chance for Seward to move aside. "Hmph¡­since you already say that I did something brazen, I guess I can go a step ahead and kill you. What do you think?" Seward scoffed at the head of the royal servant as he slowly moved towards the head of the royal servant. ''Am I going to die today? Where the hell are the royal guards? Are they enjoying it while we, the royal servants, were bullied by this cultivator?'' As Sewards moved closer to the head of the royal servant, he was having trouble breathing in because of all the cultivation pressure and thought he was going to die if it continued. Royal servants, as their name suggests, were just servants who mostly took care of nonbative things; however, royal guards were different as they had good cultivation along with good battle prowess. However, the royal servants and the royal guards didn''t get along that well and had many minor fights between them. So, the head of the royal servant thought the royal guards were intentionally not stepping in to save him. All the onlookers were looking at Seward and the head of the royal family wondering whether Seward was going to do what he just said. "Stop using your prowess on low-level cultivators, you lowly cultivator from the Zrochester province." Just when the royal servant thought that he was going to die, a calm voice came from the huge wall nearby and a group of masked men jumped from the wall as they surrounded Seward. ''Royal guards? I was wondering when they would show themselves. Looks like the good show is about to end.'' ''Yeah. If they were a littlete, then they would have seen the guts of a cultivator from the Zrochester province that dared to kill one of the heads of the royal servants.'' ''Sigh¡­it''s a pity.'' ''Hey. The show is still noot over. Aren''t you curious what kind of punishment that cultivator who suppresed the royal servants would get for his actions? ''Yes. I totally forgot about it.'' ''Let''s see whether he will still oppose the royal guards or he will be docile in front of the royal guards.'' Most of the onlookers saw that the good show came to an end; however, soon, they realized the good show was about to begin and continued to watch with interesting looks on their faces. "Lowly cultivator?" As for Seward, he raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of the captain of the royal guards and revealed an evil smile on his face. "Yes. If you are from the Zrochester province, then you are nothing but a lowly cultivator in the eyes of the cultivators from the Ylecestr province." The captain of the royal guards mocked Seward; however, he was irritated when he saw that Seward was still looking at him without any fear in his eyes. It is a known fact that the Zrochester province can''t produce any king realm cultivators and obviously it is considered as a lowly province in the eys of the cultivators of other provinces. "Haha¡­you got a point there." All of a sudden, to everyone''s surprise, Seward startedughing like a maniac as he looked at the royal guards that surrounded him and Levi for a moment before looking at the captain of the royal guard. "So, why don''t we do this? I, Seward, a lowly cultivator from the Zrochester province, is challenging you to a duel. Do you, the captain of the royal guards, dare to ept it?" These words of Seward made everyone surprised as everyone looked at the captain of the royal guards to see whether he would ept it or not? ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1268 - Timothy Seward, for his entire life, had gone against the powerful families and sects by hurting their egos. So that, they could ept his challenge and then he would show that those so-called great families and top sects are not invincible and they could be defeated with ease. He used the same tactic here and he was sure that the captain of the royal guards would not reject his challenge for the duel. The reason was simple: the cultivators from the powerful families and the sects naturally thought they were superior to others from the same province, not to mention, a nameless cultivator from a lowly province. Moreover, currently, there were so many cultivators looking at them and if he refused to ept the challenge, then the royal family would be the one to punish him and demote him to the lowest level of the royal guards or they might even make him a royal servant. ''I will never let that happen. Also, I will be theughing stock of the province.'' The captain of the royal guards silently thought in his head before looking at Seward and Levi for a moment. "Haha..why not? Let''s have the fight then; however, before that, I need you to hand that thief to me." Timothy, the captain of one of the royal guards'' units epted the challenge; however, he asked Seward to hand over Levi first and then he could have the duel with him. ''Woah¡­it is going to be interesting.'' ''Do you think that cultivator from the lowly province stands a chance against the captain of the royal guards?'' ''Hey, don''t you keep track of what''s happening in the province at all? Do you know the cultivation of Captain Timothy?'' ''What is it?'' ''Under which rock are you living? The minimum cultivation to be a captain was low-level king realm and Captain Timothy became the captain a decade back.'' ''Even though it is unlikely that he will be a mid-level king realm cultivator, it must have already stabilized his cultivation. So, who do you think will win if he fights a cultivator who is yet to be a king realm cultivator?'' ''What''s more, that cultivator is from a low-level province. So, there is no surprise in who wins the fight but I want to see how long he canst in the fight.'' As usual, the onlookers started talking among themselves as they watched both Seward and Timothy. "And why should I hand him over?" Seward didn''t bother much about the onlookers as he asked Timothy with a serious look on his face. "That young man named Levi is wanted for stealing a heaven grade ingredient from the royal treasury. So, you need to hand him as his majesty can personally state his punishment." Timothy was calm as he exined to Seward about it. "Stop using your king''s name. Your majesty said that he had forgiven Levi already." Finally, Seward revealed a slight smile on his face as he said those words, which made Timothy and everyone around him a little bit surprised. "What nonsense are you saying? Do you really think his majesty can forgive him just like that after what he did?" Timothy didn''t believe Seward''s words at all; however, deep down he felt something was amiss as the other party looked all high and mighty from the start and didn''t even show a single sign of fear against the royal servants and the royal guards. ''Is he rted to his majesty or what? No¡­it''s impossible.'' In the next second, he rejected that thought and concluded it was impossible for Seward to be acquainted with someone from the lowly province. "Nonsense? See this." Seward summoned a scroll out of nowhere as he threw it at Timothy. "Huh? It is the invitation to the contest that everyone got. What''s so special about it?" After seeing that scroll, Timothy''s doubts werepletely dispelled as he startedughing. "Are you an idiot or what? Just see the lines highlighted in that scroll. After that, let''s see what you are going to say." Seward was having a headache when he saw how Timothy could be a captain of the royal guards and asked him to check the scroll. ''Huh?'' Timothy stoppedughing as he raised his brows and decided to check why Seward was so confident in his words. ''This¡­'' After reading the highlighted lines on the scroll, Timothy frowned and closed the scroll before giving it back to Seward. "What are you waiting for? Go and apologize to him. Levi is no longer a wanted criminal of the royal family." Timothy didn''t say anything to Seward; instead, he shouted at the head of the royal servants. "What?" Including the head of the royal servants, all the onlookers were surprised to hear those words. "I am sorry." Nevertheless, the head of the royal servant apologized to Levi, not because of his mistake, it was because of Timothy. If he didn''t apologize, Timothy can use that excuse to kill him and the royal family would not punish him for that. So, without a choice, he apologized to Levi and Seward. "Good. You can back off now." Seward scoffed at the head of the royal servants and looked at Timothy. "Are you ready for the duel then?" Before Seward could say anything, Timothy asked him with a slight smile on his face. Actually, Seward thought Timothy was not as bad as he looked because he didn''t make things difficult for them like any other arrogant cultivators. However, when he saw the look on Timothy''s face, Seward knew what Timothy was nning. "Since you are very eager for your defeat, let''s fight." Seward was always ready for a fight. "Captain of the royal guards, there is no need for you to fight him. Just go back to your duty." All of a sudden, an arrogant voice ordered Timothy, who nodded his head and left without saying anything. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1269 - [Bonus ]’S’ Danger Rating Mission In one of the forests in the Ylercester province. ''Swoosh'' A portal opened in mid-air as Ajax came out of it with a curious look on his face as it was his first time using his ability to pass through the barrier. Another reason for his curiosity was about the Ylercester province. ''This essence of nature¡­its purity must be around the same as grade 3 elemental paradise.'' Just like any other cultivator who first entered the Ylercester province, the first thing Ajax noticed was the essence of nature and evenpared with the elemental paradises in his inner world. ''Also, thews in this province are much clearerpared to Zrochester province.'' Actually, in Zrochester province, Ajax didn''t sense any clearw as they were pretty much messed up; however, after feeling thews in the province, Ajax felt as long as he cultivated in this province, he might awaken aw in a couple of years without any problem. ''No wonder, the Ylercester province has a lot of King realm cultivators. I wonder how pure the essence of nature and thews are in the Xacaster province as it is called the top province of the Purple stone world.'' Next, Ajax thought about the top province and felt like he should go to that province, hoping he could awaken a new cultivator''sw in a short time. In the Purplestone world, there were only three provinces with Zrochester province being rankedst and Xacaster province as first. As for the Ylercester province, it was in the middle. Since Ylercester province already had such a pure essence of nature andws, Xacaster province is bound to have even higher purity of the essence of nature. So, Ajax decided to go to that province after the contest and the demon invasion was finished. "Now the problem is which direction I should go?" Ajax kept those thoughts away as he looked at his surroundings that were filled with huge trees. ''This must be a forest.'' He came to that conclusion after seeing the huge trees; however, in the next moment he stopped worrying about which direction he should go; instead, he thought, ''It''s time to summon one of my king''s realm flying mounts.'' Ajax was finally excited about summoning one of the devourer eagle kings that was currently staying in Prophis'' ''space realm''. "Prophis,e out and summon Cale" With a thought, the space elemental spirit appeared behind Ajax who summoned a huge devourer eagle. Since he was no one restricted by the province from summoning his king realm spirit beasts, Ajax wanted to summon one of them to be his mount while he was in the Ylercester province. Nevertheless, Ajax only summoned one devourer eagle king and didn''t summon the remaining 10 devourer eagle kings as he wanted to surprise his enemies. Moreover, he was going to summon them when the demon invasion started as he already received the next mission from the system. ''Screech'' The devourer eagle let out a screech that made all the surrounding spirit beasts run far away from that ce. "Let''s just roam and find the nearby humans." There was no particr goal in Ajax''s mind regarding where he should go; however, he was not worried much about it as he asked the devourer eagle to fly in the direction it wanted. "Yes, master." Cade, the devourer eagle king nodded his head and flew in a particr direction at an incredible speed. ''Let''s check the mission details now.'' Earlier, he didn''t check the mission details properly as he had to find the barrier. Since he had nothing to do now, Ajax opened histest mission regarding the demon invasion of Ylercester province. ''Ding, Mission:- Save Purplestone World. Danger rating:- S Mission reward:- System upgrade, Protector of Purple stone world. Additional reward:- Normal world cores and smaller world cores depending on the host''spletion rate. Mission failure:- Titles ''Coward'' and ''Betrayer''. Note:- The system will leave the host and find another suitable host. Details:- The five demon emperors have sent three personal demon apostles, 100 high-level demon kings along with thousands of low and mid-level king realm demon cultivators. As for the demons below the king realm, they are countless. The five demon emperors want to kill powerful king realm humans and turn others into ves. Overall, they are nning to conquer the purple stone world. Soon, a big holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax. ''What the hell? This ''S'' danger rating mission''s rewards are good but what''s with the failure?'' Since S danger rating mission means it is very hardpared to the A danger rating, Ajax guessed the rewards would be great and at the same time, the mission failure would be harsh. However, when Ajax saw that he would receive the two worst titles and at the same time, there is a possibility of the system leaving his body. ''System, didn''t you tell me that you can''t leave my body until I am alive? Are you thinking of killing me before leaving?'' Even though Ajax didn''t know what kind of effects those titles would have, he didn''t think much about them as he would be giving his best to get those rewards. Instead, he asked the system about something in a serious tone. ''Ding, As I promised the host, I will do nothing to you and help you in every possible way. ''Then?'' Ajax asked with a question mark on his face. ording to what he learned from the system when he received it, the system informed him that it can''t be separated unless the host is dead. So, he wondered how it would leave his body without killing him. ''Ding, The system is already upgraded to 3.0 and it is powerful enough to leave the host''s body whenever it wants. ''Oh'' Ajax was a little surprised; however, he was not anxious as he gained a lot of confidence in continuing his journey even without the system. ''Huh? I can sense Darbaudr.'' All of a sudden, Ajax sensed Darbaudr''s presence and guided the devourer eagle king. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1270 - Entering The Secret Realm Ajax didn''t bother much about it, the system''s threat of leaving him as long as he was not worried. However, that doesn''t mean he was going to fail the mission; instead, he would give his all in stopping the demon emperors from invading the Purplestone world. Of course, it was not because of the humans; instead, he wanted to be the protector of the Purplestone world. As a protector of the normal dwarf world, Ajax didn''t want to give up the status of the ''Protector'' for the Purple stone world. So, of course, it was natural for him to try his best inpleting the mission. Moreover, there was even a system upgrade and additional smaller and normal world cores for the mission, which Ajax could not ignore. ''Darbaudr is close.'' Amidst his thought, Ajax felt like he found a familiar presence, making him a little bit excited. ''Should I just ask him toe here?'' Ajax thought of asking the barbarian toe to him; however, thinking about it, he thought it would be better for him to go there; instead of asking Darbaudr to run here and there. ''Cale, turn around and fly at full speed.'' Because Ajax absorbs the world core to increase his cultivation, his senses reach an incredible level. Even when he was not focusing, he could sense the presence of the Darbaudr and others with whom he spent a lot of time. Among them, Darbaudr was definitely one of them as he spent a lot of time with Ajax and had multiple interactions. Also, he was Ajax''s servant and the system helped Ajax sense Darbaudr and his emotions without any problem. ''Screech'' Soon, the devourer eagle king flew at an incredible speed and reached a ce where Ajax assumed Darbaudr was staying. "Huh? Why will hee to the middle of the forest?" Ajax frowned as he didn''t sense any human settlements. Nevertheless, he jumped down to check what Darbaudr was doing here in the middle of the forest. ''There is nothing here but I can strongly sense that Darbaudr is somewhere around here.'' Ajax closed his eyes and followed in the direction where he sensed Darbaudr'' presence was strong. ''Ding, Detected a low-level legend grade barrier. Do you want to pass through it? After walking around for a bit, Ajax received a system notification that made Ajax raise his brows as he thought, ''A barrier here, in the middle of this forest?'' What''s more, the barrier is a legend grade which even the king realm cultivators could hardly notice, much less entering it. However, Ajax didn''t have such restrictions as he could even pass through the barriers between the provinces, not to mention, a low-level legend grade barrier. Soon, he became curious about what''s inside the barrier as he used his ability to cross the barrier with a single word, ''Enter''. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Ajax disappeared from the ce, leaving behind the devourer eagle king alone in the forest. ''Huh?? Where did he go?'' The devourer eagle king was confused as he looked at the ce where Ajax was standing a moment ago. "Prophis, did you see where the master went?" With an anxious look in his eyes, the devourer eagle king asked the space elemental spirit who also had the same anxious look on his face. However, it onlysted for a moment before he became calm as he received a voice transmission from Ajax. "Master is still here but he entered a secret realm. So, there is nothing to be worried about." Prophis calmly replied to the devourer eagle king; however, the eagle king was still unable to calm down. "How can you stay calm when the master is all alone in the secret realm? What if something happens to him inside the secret realm?" The devourer eagle king was anxious as he said these words to the space elemental spirit. "..." Prophis remained silent for a moment as he thought about something. "What''s more, all my brothers and my king are still inside your secret space. If there are any king realm cultivators, Master has no one powerful enough to protect him." Cale didn''t give any time for Prophis to think as he exined all his concerns and why he was worried about Ajax''s safety. If it was Zrochester province, Cale would have not worried at all because there would be king realm cultivators in that province; however, currently, they were inside the Ylercester province and king realm cultivators are not rare here. Moreover, if the secret realm has an owner, then it would cause even more problems for Ajax. So, thinking about everything, even Prophis had a headache as he was unable to do anything to enter the barrier. "Aren''t you a spatial elemental system? Do something about how we can enter it." Cale who was usually very respectful to the other elemental spirits was now shouting at Prophis; however, Prophis was not in a position to say anything to him as the devourer eagle king''s worries are not wrong. ''Let''s see.'' After saying that, Prophis didn''t waste any time as he sat down on the ground with his eyes closed. In the next moment, the essence of nature around him sucked into his body and the spatialws around him were getting clearer. ''Swoosh'' However, in the next second, Prophis opened his eyes as he once again failed toprehend the spatialw. "Damn it¡­I need toprehend a spatial at any cost." Prophis gritted his teeth and once again repeated the process with his eyes closed. Even though the elemental spirits that joined Ajax after him were able to learn their elementalws, Prophis and Halo were having their troubles inprehending them as both spatial and timews areplex and very difficult toprehendpared to otherws. Nevertheless, since Ajax was inside the secret realm all alone, Prophis wanted toprehend one of the spatialws and enter the secret realm at any cost. ''Failure was not an option.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1271 - A Small Group Of Barbarians ''Failure was not an option.'' The spatial elemental spirit is determined to learn a spatialw and enter the secret realm at any cost. He even informed Ajax to be careful as there might be king realm cultivators in the secret realm. ... Inside the secret realm. ''Looks like it is a secret realm.'' Ajax could sense the pure essence of nature after passing through the barrier. It was even purer than the essence of nature of the Ylerecester province. Other than a secret realm, no other thing could have something like that. ''There are some buildings over there.'' As he walked around and checked the secret realm, Ajax saw a dozen normal looking buildings in the distance. ''I think they might like me entering their secret realm without proper invitation. It is better to stay alert. Also, it might be even better if I contact Darbaudr.'' Ajax didn''t go towards the building; instead, he tried tomunicate with the barbarian. Since they were both in the same province, Ajax knew he could easilymunicate with Darbaudr and contacted him without wasting any time. "Who are you?" "How did you get into this secret realm?" Just as Ajax was about tomunicate with Darbaudr, two angry voices came from his left side as he saw a group of barbarians looking at him angrily. They were two meters tall with two sharp teeth protruding out of their mouths. Their bodies werepletely in the fire brick shade of red colour. Coming to their weapons, only two of them were carrying two huge halberds on their backs and the rest were not carrying anything. However, the noticeable thing about them was, they were wearing battle armour which was rare for the barbarians to wear. "Me? My name is Ajax and I came here for Darbaudr." Looking at the group of barbarians, Ajax guessed they might be Darbaudr'' tribesmen. So, he calmly replied to the barbarians. "Huh?" Hearing Ajax''s words, the two barbarians that were carrying the halberds raised their brows. "How do you know the tribe head?" In the next, the barbarians surrounded Ajax as they seriously looked at Ajax with full killing intent in their eyes. "Huh?" Ajax was shocked to see why they were so furiouspared to before all of a sudden. Nevertheless, he asked, "I guess you are not believing my words. I wonder what I should do to make you believe my words." Since this group of barbarians called Darbaudr ''Tribe head'', Ajax knew they were obviously Darbaudr''s tribesmen. So, he didn''t want to fight them unnecessarily. If possible, he wanted to solve the misunderstanding between him and the group of barbarians. "Just answer my questions first." One of the two leaders of the small group walked forward as he asked Ajax, "How did you enter this secret realm." ''Oh. They are more worried about how I got into this secret realm.'' Ajax could understand their worry because if some random strangeres into your home, will you host them? Of course, you will question them. What''s more, entering into a secret realm is much harder than entering into a home. So, they were even emitting killing intent while asking their first question. "I have the ability to pass through the barrier." Even though he waspletely surrounded, Ajax was not at all worried about it because the highest cultivation of the two barbarians who seemed like leaders of the group was only level 5 elite general realm. As for the rest of the barbarians, they were all level 1 and level 2 elite general realm cultivators. ''Huh?'' Even though Ajax''s reply surprised them and didn''t convince thempletely, they proceeded to ask another question. "So, why did you enter this secret realm?" "I already said that I came here looking for Darbaudr," Ajax replied nonchntly as he observed the surroundings. "Stop calling the tribe head by his head. And even if youe for him, he will kill you the moment he sees you. Are you sure you still want to see him?" Seeing how calm and nonchnt Ajax was, the two halberd holding barbarians were a little surprised and felt something was amiss but still they continued to ask their questions. "Nope. He will not do it; instead, he will bow to me¡­." "How dare you say such insolent words about our tribe head." Before Ajax could finish his words, the two barbarians rushed towards Ajax and swung their halberds at Ajax. For them, Darbaudr was their idol and they want to be like him someday. So, when they heard Ajax say that their idol would bow in front of a young human with only level 2 elite general realm cultivation, they could not control their anger and wanted to hack Ajax into pieces. "Okay. Now, it looks like the calm-talk is not going to work. I need to use force." Ajax shook his head and stopped the two halberds with his two hands as he spoke to the two barbarians. ''What?'' All the barbarians were shocked when they saw how easily Ajax stopped the two heaven grade weapons from their bosses. However, when they heard Ajax''s words, they became even more angry. "Sorry for what you are you going see and feel for the next few minutes." "Absolute darkness" As soon as he finished those words, he activated his skill and all barbarians were covered in a ck-coloured aura emitted by Ajax for a moment before falling to the ground. ''Aargh'' ''Damn it¡­what is this?'' ''What''s happening to me?'' . . All barbarians started witnessing the nightmares and started feeling pain all over their body which made them groan. ''I only used less than ten percent of ''Absolute darkness'' and they are already feeling so much pain. Looks like I can even kill the cultivators with high-level cultivator''sw.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself and stretched his body a little. "While you enjoy my gift, I will call Darbaudr." Looking at the group of barbarians, Ajax shook his head as he tried tomunicate with Darbaudr. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1272 - [Bonus ]Meeting Darbaudr In a simple-looking building. "Darbaudr, even though our entire tribe was almost wiped out, I hope you don''t seek revenge against them as they are very powerful for us to kill them." An old barbarian whose body waspletely filled with scars looked at Darbaudr and said in a weak voice. "Uncle, I know you are worried about me and the rest of the tribe members who survived the massacre; however, how can I let it slide even after knowing what they did to us?" Darbaudr was very angry as he clenched his fists and continued, "I thought I can kill all the demons that I encounter in my life, mainly that demon apostle who toyed with me before throwing me into Zrochester province. I will kill him." "However, when I learned that even humans were involved in the massacre behind our main tribe, I can''t sit aside and watch them enjoy their lives." "Blood debt should be paid in blood. I will kill everyone from that family." Darbaudr was very angry; however, he was suppressing it for now and wanted to vent this anger on those who were responsible for the massacre of his tribe. "Sigh¡­I know you will do that. But, I will not live for much longer as my spirit consciousness and the soul arepletely corroded by that demon apostle''s attack. Before I die, I want to tell you about what I know behind the massacre." The old barbarian replied in a weak tone with a sigh. "Uncle, don''t worry. I know someone who can heal your injuries. After you are? healed, let''s take revenge on the demons along with that family." Darbaudr asked his uncle to not worry about his injuries as he thought about Ajax who could heal not only physical injuries but also soul rted injuries without any problem. "Darbaudr, it is impossible to heal my corroded soul and spirit consciousness. There is no need for you to try anything risky that might cost you your life." The old barbarian shook his head as he continued, "As long as you live and guide thest eight members from the younger generation of our Battle barbarian''s tribe, I can peacefully close my eyes." "Uncle, didn''t I already tell you that I know someone who can heal your corroded soul. If you are not there to suppress my anger, I don''t know what I am going to do with that family. So, you better hang in there." After saying that, Darbaudr came out of the normal house and thought, ''I have to contact the young master soon. Only he can save my uncle.'' With that thought in his mind, Darbaudr thought of contacting Ajax; however, he knew it would be impossible because he thought Ajax was still in the Zrochester province. Nevertheless, he thought there was nothing wrong in trying tomunicate with the young master. ''Darbaudr, where are you? Come here as soon as possible.'' However, before the barbarian could contact Ajax, Ajax himself contacted Darbaudr, making the barbarian quite shocked. "Where are you right now, young master? Just stay there, I wille and get you right now." Before Ajax could reply, the barbarian asked Ajax to stay where he was. "Darbaudr, I am in the same secret realm as you. Juste to me by sensing my presence." Ajax sounded calm andposed; however, Darbaudr felt something was not right. Without wasting any time, he closed his eyes to sense Ajax''s presence before directly rushing in the direction in which he sensed Ajax. ''How did the young master enter this secret realm?'' ''Also, if those eight youngsters encounter the young master, they would definitely offend him.'' As a tribe head, Darbaudr knew how the youngsters of his tribe would react if someone entered this secret realm. So, he was a little anxious while rushing towards Ajax and at the same time, he even prayed to the heavens that the eight young barbarians didn''t meet Ajax until he reached there. However, by the time he went there, Darbaudr saw the eight young barbarians, rolling on the ground while letting out painful groans. "Looks like I amte." Seeing them, Darbaudr bitterly sighed as he shook his head and bowed to Ajax, "Young master, you are here." Darbaudr didn''t ask how Ajax entered this secret realm because he guessed that Ajax''s master helped him enter the secret realm. However, what he didn''t know was that there was no such master until a few days ago and Ajax entered this town on his own without anyone''s help. "Yes. So, who''s secret realm is this?" Ajax nodded his head as he asked about the secret realm with a curious look. After the secret realms of the six vagrant cultivators in the Zrochester province, Ajax wanted one secret realm for himself. So, of course, he wanted to know about it. "Sure, young master." Darbaudr nodded his head as he looked at the eight young barbarians rolling on the ground and asked Ajax, "Young master, if they offended you, please let them go. If you want to punish someone for their actions, you can punish me as I am the teacher of these eight young barbarians." "Young barbarians?" Ajax was a little surprised because until now, he thought they were some middle-aged barbarians. "Yes, young master. They are all around 45 years old and could be considered as young barbarians." With a slight smile on his face, Darbaudr answered Ajax'' question. "Oh." Ajax nodded his head as he could already guess that the growth stages for each race would be a little different. "Don''t worry. I only used 4 percent of strength while using the ''Absolute darkness''. So, other than a slight pain thatsts from two minutes to five minutes depending on their cultivation, nothing would happen to them." Ajax exined how much strength he had used in that attack against the young barbarians. "Oh. Thank you, young master. Let''s go and meet the owner of this secret realm." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1273 - Uncle Dralf Once he got the confirmation from Ajax that nothing would happen to the eight young barbarians, Darbaudr just nced at them with a bitter smile on his face and guided Ajax to meet the owner of this secret realm. The young barbarians'' groans lessened with time; however, they still experienced pains and nightmares. Moreover, even if the nightmares and pains disappeared, they would need to take at least a couple of hours of rest before standing on their feet. "Young master, this is my uncle Dralf. Uncle Dralf, he is the one who saved me in the Zrochester province and helped me in recovering my cultivation." Soon, Darbaudr introduced Ajax to the old barbarian whose body was filled with scars. "Oh." Uncle Dralf''s first expression after seeing Ajax beside Darbaudr was a shock because Darbaudr hated the humans to the core and as long as there was even a small conflict with humans, he would fight them and kill them without any hesitation. So, seeing that Darbaudr was respectfully guiding a human to his residence, Dralf could not help but get shocked. Nevertheless, he was able to guess Ajax''s identity even before Darbaudr could say how he met Ajax. "Thanks a lot, human, for saving my nephew," Dralf bowed to Ajax and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Even though Dralf also didn''t have much of a good impression on humans, he was not someone who didn''t mind thanking those who helped him, whether it is a human or any other race. "It''s nothing." Ajax shook his head as he only saved Darbaudr because he was immature at that time and could not handle seeing a ve for the first time. However, after he broke the ve crystal, Darbaudr didn''t leave him and enjoy his life freely; instead, he swore to protect Ajax. "How can it be nothing? You saved the lineage of the battle barbarian''s tribe by saving him. Without him, those that are left in our tribe would die eventually." Dralf was emotional as he thanked Ajax again and again. "..." Ajax was speechless as he didn''t expect to see such an emotional barbarian in his life. "By the way, if you don''t mind me asking you, how did you get into this secret realm? Even King realm cultivators would have a hard time finding it, not to mention entering it." As the owner of this secret realm, Dralf knew how much he had invested in the defence of the secret realm. Without his permission, no one can enter it;? however, not only did Ajax enter the secret realm but he waspletely clueless about it. So, he asked in order to find whether there were any ws in the barrier such that he could cover those ws. "It is just an artifact from my master that helps me pass through the barrier." Ajax said something as he changed the topic in the next moment, "Darbaudr, didn''t you say your entire family is destroyed?" When he freed Darbaudr, the barbarian mentioned that his entire tribe was massacred by a demon apostle and his army. So, he asked about it since obviously a few of his tribesmen were still alive. "I was not sure whether they were alive or not until today, young master." Darbaudr knew what Ajax was thinking as he exined, "I hoped Uncle Dralf and his 10 disciples will be alive as I risked my life so that they can escape; however, there were so many demons that it was almost impossible to escape." So, I assumed they were caught by the demons." "Nevertheless, I didn''t give up and the moment I entered the Ylercester province, I can came the only ce Uncle Dralf would hide if the sessfully escaped from the demons and that''s how I learned uncle Dralf and all his disciples were alive and well." Even though Darbaudr was sad for losing an entire tribe, he was happy that at least a few of them were able to sessfully escape from the demons. "As long as there is someone alive in my tribe, revenge can be taken slowly." Darbaudr clenched his fists as he said those words. "Don''t worry. I will take you to the demon worlds to take your revenge." Ajax promised Darbaudr to take him along for his next mission to massacre the demons. "I am waiting for that day, young master." Darbaudr already knew that Ajax''s master helps him go to the other worlds on some specific missions and hearing Ajax''s promise, Darbaudr was excited as he could explore the demon worlds and dedicated his entire life to killing the demons. "What?" Dralf looked at Ajax with a shocked look on his face. "Yes, the young master''s master is so powerful that he could open portals to the other worlds so that, the young master canplete some missions in those worlds." Darbaudr was a little excited as he exined Ajax''s background. "You can travel between the worlds?" As for Uncle Dralf, he kept on getting one shock after another that made his heart almost burst with shocks. First, Darbaudr acknowledged a human as his master. Second, that human can enter his secret realm without his permission. Another crazy thing is that a human had a powerful master who could casually send him to other worlds on missions. "So, where is the contest held?" After discussing a few more things, Ajax asked Darbaudr about the contest. "What? Young Master, you still haven''t registered your name?" Darbaudr was shocked for a moment and hurriedly stood up from his chair, "Let''s go right now. There is still an hour toplete the registration for the contest." "What? There is a registration for the contest?" Ajax was a little surprised and nodded his head; however, he looked at the old barbarian and said, "Let me heal your uncle first and then let''s go." As a Sacred Astral Healer, Ajax could tell with a nce that Uncle Dralf''s spirit consciousness and soul were corroded and could not live for long. So, he decided to heal him before going for the registration. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1274 - Dralf Become A King Realm Cultivator Since Dralf was Darbaudr''s uncle, Ajax didn''t think much and decided to save him even before Darbaudr requested him. Also, Ajax had another selfish reason when he thought of saving Dralf and it was gaining another strong barbarian as his follower. From all the scars on Uncle Dralf''s body, Ajax could tell that Dralf was a strong barbarian who had participated in a lot of battles. What''s more, he even had a secret realm of his own. So, he thought spending a few units of Sacred Astral energy was nothingpared to the benefits he would receive by gaining a strong barbarian like Dralf as his follower. "Actually, I wanted to ask you about it after you finish the contest, young master. Will it not affect you with the contest?" Darbaudr feared that if Ajax used his energy to save Uncle Dralf, it might affect Ajax''s performance in tomorrow''s contest. Soo, he decided to request his young master''s help after the contest. However, what he didn''t know was the demons would be visiting them at the end of the contest. So, it was better for Uncle Dralf to regain his strength to fight against the demons. "No. It is just a minor thing for me." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax tried to ce his hand on Uncle Dralf''s head; however, Dralf hesitated a little and looked at his nephew Darbaudr, who promised him that everything was going to be alright. "Okay." Nodding his head, Uncle Dralf allowed Ajax to ce his hand on him. ''Inject'' Soon, Ajax started pouring the sacred astral energy at a slow ce into Uncle Dralf''s body. The pale barbarian face of Dralf started bing normal and after a few more minutes, Dralf''s body looked quite strong while his eyes seemed to be flowing with endless vitality. ''Kacha'' All of a sudden, there is a small breaking sound from Dralf''s body and in the next second, a strong pressure is emitted by that body. It didn''t stop right there as a maroon coloured soul came out of Dralf''s body. ''This is¡­.a cultivator''s soul?'' It was Ajax''s not first time seeing a cultivator''s soul; however, it was definitely his first time seeing a barbarian''s cultivator soul. Nevertheless, Ajax was shocked when he saw that just after healing Dralf''s soul and spirit consciousness, he became a king realm cultivator. "Uncle Dralf broke through to the King realm. Now, we can take revenge on those bastards." Darbaudr was also equally shocked just like Ajax; however, in the next moment, he was excited because he could finally take revenge on someone whom he hated to the core. The cultivator''s soul of Dralf didn''t stop growing as it continued to grow and only stopped after reaching 100 meters in height. "So that''s what I wascking to break into the King realm." All of a sudden, Dralf, who was closing his eyes until now, finally opened as he looked at Ajax in a new light. "Thank you, human. I am eternally grateful to you for not only saving me but also helping with such special energy that destroyed the barrier which is stopping me from bing a King realm cultivator." Dralf along with his 100-meter cultivator''s soul deeply bowed to Ajax and profusely thanked him. "Haha. It''s good that you became a king realm cultivator." Ajax nodded his head with a light chuckle. "If you need any help from me in the future, I will not think twice beforepleting it." Even though Ajax didn''t say anything, Dralf knew why Ajax would go out of his way to help a dying barbarian. So, he said those words from the bottom of his heart because he really meant it. Not only would he live for another 1000 years but he became very strong to go against the tribe. Generally, a low-level king realm barbarian is much stronger than a human in the same cultivation realm. So, as long as Dralf stabilized his cultivation, he could kill any low-level human king realm cultivator and might even stand a chance against the mid-level king realm human cultivators. "I will not hold back when I really need your help." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and thought, ''Heares another king realm cultivator that can help me when I really need.'' ording to the stories he listened from Elder Boron, the main character would help a few cultivators with potential when they were at the lowest point of their lives and reap the benefits when they be powerful as they owe him. If they didn''t help him back when the main character requested their help and by any chance they reject it, inner demons would be born in their hearts as they didn''t keep their promise. ''Inner demons are my assurance.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he nodded his head Uncle Dralf. "Congrattions, Uncle Dralf. Finally, we can pay a visit to that tribe to say ''hello''." As for Darbaudr, no one would be happier than him as he congratted his Uncle. "Yes. Finally, we can." Dralf nodded his head with great excitement. ''...'' At the side, Ajax was speechless at Uncle Dralf''s words and thought, ''Barbarians are barbarians. As long as they have enough strength, they would not think about anything else and directly rush into the fight.'' Until a few moments back, Uncle Dralf was asking Darbaudr to not do anything funny; however, now, he became just like Darbaudr who was adamant about taking revenge on some tribe or family. ''Anyway, let''s see how powerful the other tribe that Darbaudr and Dralf want to take their revenge.'' Ajax was curious to see the fight; however, he knew he had to participate in the contest. "Okay then, Uncle Dralf. We will go now as the young master has to register his name to participate in the contest. After that, let''s go and pay a visit to that tribe." Darbaudr decided to help Ajax first and pay a visit to his enemy after that as the registration would bepleted in a few minutes. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1275 - An Elemental Spirit And A Huge Eagle "I wille with you then. Let''s go and pay a visit after the contest." Dralf thought about it for a moment and decided to wait until the contest before paying a visit to their rival tribe. Because right now, most of their rival tribe members would be going to the contest and taking their revenge right now was not a good thing to do. "Huh? Are you sure about it?" Darbaudr was a little surprised as he asked, "Don''t you want to stabilize your cultivation?" Since his uncle just became a King realm cultivator, Darbaudr thought that his uncle needed to stabilize and get used to his new strength. However, his uncle was excited to go out of the secret realm. "Haha¡­your uncle here has already stabilized his cultivation thanks to the pure energy your master has injected into my body. Now, there is not need for me to stablize my cultivation as it already reached the perfection." Uncle Dralf excitedly said these words to Darbaudr. "Cool. Let''s go then." Darbaudr nodded his head with an excited smile on his face as he reminisced about his childhood, ''Finally, I can see the Uncle Dralf from my past Excited and Hot-blooded.'' He used only two words to describe his uncle and because of that, Uncle Dralf became the idol for the young Darbaudr and others from his generation. "What about your disciples?" Just as they took a few steps, Darbaudr pointed into the distance and asked Uncle Dralf about the young barbarians that were soundly sleeping on the ground. "What about them? They are not strong enough to venture into the outside world." Uncle Dralf scoffed at them as he looked into the distance before summoning a scroll from his space ring. ''Your big brother Darbaudr is alive and well. He entered the secret realm today and? I became a King realm cultivator with someone''s help. So, I will be going out of the secret realm for a few days.'' ''While I was gone, you two will be incharge of this secret realm and take care of your junior brothers.'' Rows of words appeared on the scroll and once Uncle Dralf finished his words, he left it at the entrance of his house. Uncle Dralf left that scroll for his two other disciples who were in a secluded cultivation and he didn''t want to disturb them as they might be at a critical junction in their cultivation. So, he wrote a brief information about everything for the disciples to know. "Let''s go." Without wasting any more time, Uncle Dralf waved his hand. ''Rumble'' In the next second, a loud rumbling sound could be heard by them, making Uncle Dralf forwn. The sounds increased in intensity as the entire secret realm started shaking a little. "Uncle Dralf, what is happening? Stop ying with us." Since Dralf was the owner and he even waved his hand with a mysterious smile on his face, Darbaudr thought it was his uncle''s doing. So, he asked him to stop doing it. "Why the hell will I do something like that?" Uncle Dralf was already angry that someone is trying to barge into his secret realm and now his own nephew was saying that he was ying with them by shaking his secret realm. ''Huh?'' Darabaudr raised his brows as he looked at the sky and noticed that the secret realm''s barrier kept on appearing and disappearing. "I think I know who it is." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax shook his head as he looked at the sky. .... An hour back, The ce where Ajax entered from the secret realm, a huge eagle could be seen resting on the ground. Beside it, there was a ck coloured elemental spirit sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. The space around that elemental spirit seemed like it was fluctuating like water. The elemental spirit was none other than the spatial elemental spirit Prophis and the huge eagle was the devourer eagle king. ''I am close to awakening a spatial elementalw.'' The elemental spirit muttered to himself without any emotion on his face because the moment he was either excited or depressed, the spatialws around him that became a lot clearer for him toprehend might be distrubed and he had to do it once again from the start. So, he kept his emotions in check as he continued to focus on the spatialws around him. At the side, the devourer eagle king that seemed to be resting was actually not resting. It didn''t like topletely rely on the spatial elemental spirit in entering the secret realm to save its master. Since it knew a few basics regarding the spatialws because of its skill ''Portal creation'', it tried to awaken a spatialw using those basics. ''Even though I have one bestial soul and one besitalw already, learning another bestialw rting to space will defintely help me in opening the portal into this secret realm.'' The devourer eagle king named Cale owes Ajax so much and it didn''t want its benefactor and master to die in the secret realm who knows what kind of danger it had inside. Time continued to pass while Ajax was talking with the barbarians in the secret realm, the two beings, one king realm spirit beast and an elite general elemental spirit were trying their best in learning a spatialw to help their master. As for Ajax, he already said that there are no dangers in the secret realm; however, these two beings didn''t listen to him because it was their duty to protect their master. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, the spatial elemental spirit''s body started glowing with a bright ck light as the space around him flowed like water before returning back to normal. In the next second, the bright light emitting by the elemental spirit disappeared and Prophis opened his eyes, emitting a glint before disappearing. ''Finally¡­I did it.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1276 - Space Collapse ''Finally¡­I did it.'' Prophis opened his eyes with great excitement as he looked at the devourer eagle king; however, he was shocked at the sight of pure spatialws moving towards the huge eagle. ''He is close to awakening the spatialw.'' Prophis was shocked at the fact that if the devourer eagle king awakens another bestialw, it would have a total of three bestialws. Of course, one of them had already evolved into a bestial soul. ''I will not disturb him and move away from this ce before opening the portal into the secret realm.'' Prophis didn''t want to disturb the devourer eagle king when it was very close to awake a new bestialw. So, he thought to move away from the eagle and open the portal into the secret realm to help his master. ''Screech'' However, in the next second, the huge devourer eagle let out a loud screech that made all the spirit beasts in their surroundings run away and at the same time, multiple portals open around the devourer eagle. ''Huh? Looks like it already awakened a bestialw.'' Prophis was happy for the devourer eagle king and thought to congratte him. ''Screech'' However, the huge eagle released a ck orb from its beak and it moved towards Prophis. As a space elemental spirit, Prophis could sense powerful spatial energy in it and felt nothing good woulde out of it if it touched him. ''Dodge'' This was the first thought that came to his mind as Prophis jumped aside from the direction of the ck orb. ''Gurg¡­.gurgg'' The ck-coloured orbnded on a small boulder behind Prophis'' previous location and in an instant, the small boulder disappearedpletely without any trace. ''Holy heavens¡­what type of spatialw did it awaken?'' Prophis was shocked at the missing boulder along with a one-meter radius around the boulder, leaving a small crater on the ground. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As Prophis was still in shock with the power exhibited by the ck orbs, he saw a few more ck orbse out of the devourer eagle kings'' beak. "Damn it¡­what are you doing? Stop attacking me." Prophis dodged the ck orbs as he shouted at the huge eagle. "I am not doing it intentionally. These ck orbs areing out of my mouth on their own. I can''t control them." In reply to Prophis, the huge devourer eagle king shouted back as it continued to release more and more ck orbs. Actually, the only reason why Prophis was able to dodge all the ck orbs was the devourer eagle king was not attacking the elemental spirit intentionally. Even if by chance Prophis failed to dodge any of the ck orbs, he could say goodbye to his life because those ck orbs belong to a king realm spirit beast. So, even if it was a skill that was just awakened along with the new bestialw, it would be powerful enough to kill even quasi-king realm cultivators, not to mention, Prophis who had just awakened an elementalw. "What?" Prophis raised his brows as he didn''t stop dodging the ck orbs and when he thought about it, he finally understood what was wrong. ''It awakened a new bestialw; however, at the same time, it is a spatialw. So, it is unable to control it and those ck orbs are randomlying out of its mouth.'' Prophis came to this conclusion and understood what he had to do. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Prophis ran 100 meters away from the huge devourer eagle king because the range of those ck orbs was around 100 meters. "Don''t you daree towards me and figure out a way to control your new bestialw and the skill while I will try to open the portal into the secret realm?" After maintaining a safe distance from the devourer eagle king, Prophis shouted at the devourer eagle asking him to gain control over its new bestialw. ''Now, all I have to do is wait until the devourer eagle king gets control over its new bestialw and skill.'' While saying that, he closed his eyes to open the protal into the secret realm. ''Screech'' However, once again, the devourer eagle king let out a loud screech and the entire space around them started shaking. ''What the hell is happening now?'' Prophis thought that everything would be settled as long as some time passed; however, he knew a huge problem was about toe. ''Is it a Space copse?'' He thought about something as he looked at the devourer eagle king. Space copse, as its name suggests, destroys the entire space within a certain range and the reason for the space copse is, of course, the devourer eagle king. Devourer eagle king has only a piece of basic knowledge of space-rtedws and it was also because of its ability to open portals to different worlds. However, because of various reasons like clear spatialws in the Ylercester province, and Prophis made those spatialws even clearer while he was trying to awaken his own spatialw and other factors that helped Cale, the king realm spirit beast awaken its third bestialw rting to space. But, the thing is, Cale''s control over its new bestialw was not high, making his new bestialw and skills to be used on their own without his control, which lead to this special incident called ''Space copse'' ''Prophis, are you messing with the barrier or what?'' Just as Prophis was thinking of what he had to do regarding this special incident, he heard Ajax''s voice in his head. ''No¡­it''s not me. It''s this damn eagle.'' Prophisined about the devourer eagle king to Ajax and briefly exined everything. ''What?'' Ajax was excited when he heard that the devourer eagle king learned a new bestialw; however, he became a little worried about the special incident called ''Space copse''. ''So, what should we do now?'' Ajax asked Prophis through the voice transmission. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1277 - Tough Situation Since it was Ajax''s first time hearing about the ''Space copse'', he asked Prophis about what they have to do in order to stop it. ''There are only two ways.'' After thinking for a moment, Prophis replied to Ajax as he continued, "One, the source of the space copse, that is the devourer eagle king should be killed." ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment and as he asked, ''Continue.'' Since killing the devourer eagle king was out of option, Ajax asked for the second way. The problem here is, because of the space copse, the barrier of the secret realm would be destroyed which makes things difficult for Uncle Dralf as it was a safe house for the battle barbarians. So, he wanted to stop the ''Space copse''; however, if it really costs him to sacrifice a devourer eagle king, then he would let the Space copse happen rather than sacrificing his king realm spirit beast. But, since Prophis said that there was a second way, he asked Prophis about it. ''The devourer eagle king should learn howo to control its new bestialw and the skill it awakened with it; however, looking at the current situation, I feel like it was very hard.'' Prophis was looking at the current state of the devourer eagle; however, Ajax didn''t have any idea about it. So, Prophis mentioned the outside situation is very hard. Because the number of ck orbsing out? of the devourer eagle king increased a lot and there was no slowing down as though the devourer eagle king had an unlimited energy inside it body. ''Okay then. Don''t do anything and let space copsepletely.'' Even though he didn''t know what Porphis was worried about, he didn''t want to force Prophis to do something dangerous against a King realm spirit beast like devourer eagle king. So, he asked Prophis to just stay away from the devourer eagle king and let the so-called ''Space copse'' to bepleted. If it destroyed the barrier to the secret realm, so be it. He already saved Uncle Dralf and helped Darbaudr, which was something that could not be repaid that easily. So, they would not hold it against when he exins that the devouer eagle king didn''t destroy the barrier intentionally. ''However, there is another problem, master.'' Just as Ajax thought that it was not a big issue for the barrier of the secret realm to get destroyed, he received another voice transmission from Prophis, making him raise his brows as asked, ''What is it?'' ''Even though it seems like the devourer eagle king has unlimited energy, it is just a low-level king realm spirit beast. So, the energy in his body is still limited. Once he runs out of energy, he will die.'' Prophis hurriedly exined the problem if they didn''t stop the devourer eagle king from releasing those ck orbs which are causing the space copse. ¡­. Inside the secret realm. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard Prophis'' words, making the two battle barbarians in front of him a little bit worried. Earlier, Ajax informed them that their current situation was because of his tamed spirit beast. Even though Uncle Dralf was a little bit shocked, he asked Ajax to do something about it quickly as it would destroy the barrier of his secret realm. To which, Ajax nodded his head; however, when they saw that Ajax was shocked by something, they were naturally not calm about it as they could sense that Ajax was shocked by something bad. "What happened, Young master? Is something wrong?" Darbaudr asked Ajax with a concerned look because it was rted to both his young master and the secret realm owned by his uncle. "The situation gotplicated. Give me some time. I will think about something." Ajax didn''t exin them noto because he didn''t want to; instead, he didn''t have the time to exin everything to them while one of his King realm spirit beasts is going to die. Without wasting any time, he closed his eyes and started thinking of a solution whilemunicating with Prophis who was outside the secret realm. ''Prophis, is there nothing we can do about it?'' After a few moments, everything that Ajax suggested were instantly rejected by Prophis saying that it would not work. So, in the end, Ajax could only ask Prophis what they could not about it. ''The only way to stop the space copse it to stop the devourer eagle king; however, the devouer eagle king can''t stop it now even if he wanted to because of the appearance of the space copse, the devouer eagle king''s difficulty in gaining control over his new bestialw became even more now.'' Prophis briefed about the entire situation to Ajax while hoping it might give the space elemental spirit any new thoughts on how to stop it. ''Summoning master, I think I can stop it.'' As Prophis expected, while putting together everything that was happening in front of him at one ce, made him think of something. ''What is it? Don''t'' leave me in suspense.'' Ajax was anxious as he hurriedly asked Prophis to tell him what it was. ''If I can move closer to the ''Space copse'' and use my spatial energy to close it, I might stop the copse from happening any further.'' Prophis hesitated a little before saying what he thought about it as he continued, ''However, it is very risky for me as I might suffer the same fate as that of the devourer eagle king.'' ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows when the n that Prophis exined had such a huge risk. If the n didn''t work, he would not only lose a king realm spirit beast but he would even lose the rare elemental spirit like Prophis, which made him hesitate in giving an answer to Prophis. ''It is not fair for Prophis to take such a risk.'' Ajax silently thought in his head; however, when he heard Prophis'' next words, he thought of something that gave him hope. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1278 - Fake King Realm Crystal ''Only if I was a little stronger.'' Prophis said those words as he continued, ''Not only I can close it without risking my life, but I can even use the energy inside the space copse to break through to the next realm.'' ''Wait for a second¡­if he can be stronger, he can make use of the space copse?'' Ajax didn''t transmit these words to Porphis; instead, he thought to himself because he gained an idea that might help them ovee this situation with ease. ''Prophis, how strong do you have to be in order to do what you have just said?'' Without wasting any time, Ajax asked Prophis about how strong he should be. ''I just awakened my first elementalw before the devourer eagle king. So, it is just at level 1, as long as it is at level 2, I am 75 percent confident in controlling this space copse.'' Prophis knew that his master could bring valuable items out of thin air and he hoped Ajax could do something like that again. So, he was informed about his elementalw and his confidence in controlling the space copse. ''Wait a second. I will see what I can give you.'' Once he received the confidence percentage from Prophis, Ajax knew what he had to do and it was to check for the suitable item in the Elemental spirit store. ''If level 2 elementalw can already give him 75 percent confidence, then what about level 3 or level 4 or even higher than that?'' Ajax didn''t have the time to congratte the space elemental spirit for sessfully awakening his first elementalw in such a short time because he was already checking the items in the elemental spirit store while hoping he could find an item that could increase the elementalw of Prophis by multiple levels. ''Elemental spirit stones, elemental paradises, elemental skill crystals, elementalw stones, elemental weapons, special items.'' Ajax read all the sections in the elemental spirit store before picking thest section ''Special items''. Even though elemental spirit stones can increase the cultivation of an elemental spirit, Prophis was already a level 10 elite general realm elemental spirit. So, he could only open the ''special items'' section hoping to find something useful. There were only three items in that section; however, Ajax''s eyes stopped at the second item that piqued his interest. ''Ding, Item Name:- Fake king realm crystal. Item Type:- Special (Consumable) Effect:- The crystal can help any level 10 elite general realm elemental spirit to temporarily transform his elementalws into elemental souls. Side effect:- The elemental spirit''s battle prowess will be lost for a duration of one month. More information:- Even though it seems like a good item, use it only if there was a life and death situation. ''It can transform the elementalws into elemental souls?'' The first thing Ajax saw was, of course, the effect of the crystal before that''s what he was concerned more about. If an elemental spirit''s elementalw is transformed into an elemental soul, then the elemental spirit is considered as a king realm elemental spirit, which was what Ajax was searching for. Actually, it was more than what he was searching for and without wasting any time, he decided to buy it from the store. ''System, I want to buy this Fake king realm crystal.'' Ajax didn''t worry about the cost of the crystal because currently, he had more than 200000 spirit points which were more than enough for him to buy. Moreover, the more king realm beings he kills in the future, the more spirit points he would gain anyway. So, it was the least thing he was bothered about right now. ''There are some side effects. Let''s see it.'' After giving the buy order to the system, while it processes the order, Ajax read the remaining information on the ''Fake king realm crystal''. ''Ding, Deducting 100000 spirit points from the host''s ount. ''Ding, The item ''Fake king realm crystal'' is stored in the host''s ount. ''What?'' Just as he read the side effect, he was shocked for a moment before he received the system notifications informing him about thepletion of his order. ''The side effect is little big this time; however,pared to saving the life of the devourer eagle king, the side effect is absolutely nothing.'' For Ajax, letting the space elemental spirit rest in the inner world for a month until the side effect period was over, was not a big thing. On the other hand, using this crystal lets Prophis control the space copse would not only save the devourer eagle king''s life but it would also stop the destruction of the barrier to the secret realm. ''Moreover, judging from Prophis'' earlier words, Prophis will even make use of this space copse to his growth. So, the side effect is nothingpared to the things Prophis can do with it.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered the system, ''System, I want to use this Fake king realm crystal on Prophis.'' ''Ding, Are you sure about using the Fake king realm crystal? There is a huge side effect for using it. As usual, the system asked for a confirmation from Ajax, who nodded his head without any hesitation. ''Ding, Using the Fake king realm crystal on the space elemental spirit. ''Ding, The system detected an elementalw awakened by that elemental spirit. ''Ding, Transforming the elementalw ''Spatial zone'' into the elemental soul. Please wait. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications in his head informing him about the new elementalw awakened by Prophis. ''Prophis, go for it. Everything is in your hands now.'' Ajax briefly informed about what he did to him and asked Prophis to take care of the situation outside. "Darbaudr, Dralf, don''t worry. Everything will be taken care of in a few minutes." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1279 - Devourer Eagles Are Greedy Even On Their Deathbeds Outside the secret realm, ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' The space around the devourer eagle king was cracking like an eggshell and small pieces even started to fall. From the distance, it looked like a portal that led to endless space. No one knows where it leads to or what happens if they enter it. However, one thing was sure that it would be almost impossible for anyone toe back. As for whether those who entered the ''Space copse'' could survive or not? No one knows the answer to this question. ''I¡­why do I feel so powerful all of a sudden.'' As for Prophis, who was ready to go near the ''Space copse'' to stop it from spreading its range, felt that his strength started increasing. ''It is my elementalw¡­.why is it transforming into the elemental soul? Didn''t I just wake up an hour ago?'' Since it was inside his body, Prophis was able to tell what was changing inside the body and it was none other than his new elementalw, making him greatly shocked. One had to remember that awakening an elementalw in such a short time was already an achievement, not to mention, it was a space elementalw. What''s more, now his level 1 elementalw is directly transforming into an elemental soul. So, of course, he was shocked and became fully confident in closing the ''Space copse''. ''Not only that, I can even help the huge devourer eagle king in controlling its new bestialw and the skill that came with it.'' After Prophis elementalw transformed into the elemental soul, his understanding of the space became a lot clearer. So, not only he was confident in closing the ''Space copse'' but he was also confident in helping the devourer eagle king. ''Now, I am an elemental spirit king.'' It only took a few seconds for Prophis to be a King realm cultivator and as soon as he became one, he was excited. Nevertheless, he didn''t waste any time as he directly rushed towards the devourer eagle king. Compared to closing the space copse, Prophis knew that he had to stop the devourer eagle king at any cost. So that the space copse would not grow anymore. ''Once he stops releasing those spatial orbs, I will have enough time to close the ''Space copse'' and use it for my growth.'' The thing is, it would be very difficult for Prophis to make use of the ''Space copse'' with the ck orbs being released by the devourer eagle king. So, Porphis nned to take care of one thing after another and at the same time, he wanted to make sure he took full advantage of the ''Space copse'' to increase his strength. ''Open'' Soon, Prophis started his n as he opened a portal in front of him and entered it. In the next second, a portal appeared above the devourer eagle king''s head as Prophis came out of it. "Cale, try your best in controlling your body and don''t try to move." Prophis directly gave the orders to the devourer eagle king as he ced his hands on the huge head of the devourer eagle. Even though Prophis was not a king realm elemental spirit, he was used to giving orders to all the devourer eagle kings because his ranking under Ajax is much higherpared to the devourer eagle kings. Moreover, all the devourer eagle kings would stay in Prophis'' secret space along with their king who formed a contract with Ajax because he would be giving tips and training them in the secret space. If they try to disrespect Prophis, he would toy with them when they enter his secret space. So, naturally, the devourer eagle kings would not say anything even when Prophis gave orders to them. ''Screech'' As soon as Prophis ced his hands on the devourer eagle king''s head, it screeched loudly as though its skull was breaking apart from some kind of energy. ''I need to endure.'' Cale even tried to endure the pain; however, the pain was so high that the devourer eagle king was unable to endure as it screeched loudly to vent its frustration. "Endure it¡­Cale. You can do it." Prophis already guessed it would be painful and that''s the reason why he already asked the devourer eagle king to endure it and stop moving his body. Another thing is happening at the side and more number of ck orbs kepting out of the devourer eagle king''s beak, which increased the speed at which the cracks formed in the space. ''Oh no. I need to hurry up.'' Prophis knew that if the space copse became huge, then it would be harder for him to close it. So, he thought he needed to speed up the process. "Close your eyes and lie down on the ground. It will open in a minute." Prophis thought to take a little bit of risk as he wanted to speed up the process; however, it would increase the pain in the devourer eagle king''s head to the next level. So, he asked the devourer eagle king to lie down on the ground for a minute. ''Are you sure it is only a minute?'' The devourer eagle king spoke in a weak voice that made even Prophis'' heartache. "Yes. It will be over in a minute." Prophis promised the devourer eagle king as he added, "Also, fell the huge spatial energy around us. It is even purer than the grade 5 elemental paradises in the inner world. It will help you increase your new bestialw to the next level." ''Really?'' Hearing Prophis'' words, the devourer eagle king that became so weak because of continuously releasing the spatial orbs from its beak, became excited and closed its eyes before focusing on the pure spatial energy around them. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he started absorbing the pure spatial energy around them, it entered into the devourer eagle king''s body like a bottomless pit. ''This devourer eagle king''s are¡­.damn greedy even on their deathbeds.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1280 - Opportunity In Crisis ''This devourer eagle king''s are¡­.damn greedy even on their deathbeds.'' Prophis could not help but mutter these words in his head as he focused on the main thing. Actually, it was in the blood of the devourer eagles to devour everything. So, to forget the pain it was feeling, the devourer eagle king tried to devourer the pure spatialws that gathered around them. ''Huh?'' As Prophis worked to help the devourer eagle king gain control over its new bestialw, it noticed that the bestialw is bing more and more powerful. ''Th..this is¡­.'' In the next second, Prophis noticed something more, that his elemental soul is strengthening on its own as his control over the spacews is bing more and more. ''Is it be of this devourer eagle king?'' That was the only possibility Prophis could think of right now; however, he didn''t think much since it was a good thing and he didn''t have the time to think about it. ''Cale, stop devouring the spatialws around us and condense your understanding of the spatialws. It will help your bestialw increase at an incredible speed.'' Since Prorphis'' elementalw had already transformed into the elemental soul, he knew what the devourer eagle king had to do in order to increase his bestialw at an incredible speed. ''Okay'' Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king stopped devouring the spatialws around them as he started condensing them into his new bestialw. ''Level 2'' ''Level 3'' . . ''Level 5'' In less than a minute, the devourer eagle king''s new bestialw had already reached level 5, making Prophis surprised. ''So that is the reason why my elemental soul was also increasing.'' Prophis understood that the devourer eagle king absorbed a lot more than he could digest and his elemental soul naturally absorbed a small portion of it to increase its level from level 1 to level 2. ''Now, repeat the process.'' Right now, both Prophis and the devourer eagle king were connected through their spirit consciousness. So, they could read each other''s thoughts. ''Didn''t you say that everything will be over in a minute? Did you lie to me?'' The devourer eagle king absorb the spatialws around them; instead, it asked Prophis about it. ''Are you dumb or what? Since we can use the spatialws around us to increase our bestialw and the elemental soul respectively, why are you thinking about it? Moreover, you are not feeling the same pain as before, right?'' Prophis scoffed at the devourer eagle king and asked him to repeat the process. ''Yes. I am feeling only 50 percent of the pain which I felt at the start.'' Cale was happy about it; however, it was still feeling 50 percent pain and it didn''t want to continue the same process. ''Bastard¡­I am taking that 50 percent of pain so that we both can increase our strength.'' Prophis cursed the devourer eagle king as he forced e to devour the spatialws around them. ''Oh. No wonder, I can hear you groan earlier.'' The devourer eagle king chuckled a little as it repeated the process because his new bestialw is progressing at an incredible speed. Actually, Prophis just wanted to help the devourer eagle king to gain control over his new bestialw; however, he didn''t expect that its devouring ability was so great that it could even devour the spatialws. With the continuous devouring for the pure spatialws around them, the ''Space copse'' stopped spreading. What''s more, the space around them started returning back to normal. So, he changed his ns and used the devourer eagle king to not only stop the space copse but increase the level of his elemental soul and the eagle king''s bestialw. ''However, the only thing that is still bothering me is your ck orbs.'' Prophis looked at the ck orbs that were stilling out of Cale''s beast and thought he had to speed up the process. Nevertheless, it was no longer affecting the Space copse, so Prophis focused on increasing their strengths using the pure spatialws that were pouring out of the space copse. ¡­.. In the secret realm. "Looks like the space is getting restored." Uncle Dralf could sense that the barrier of the secret realm is no longer shaking, making him heave a sigh of relief. "No. It is not over; however, there is no need to worry about anything now as everything will be taken care of." Ajax could sense that both Prophis and the devourer eagle king are getting stronger and knew that it would not take much longer for them to take care of the Space copse. So, he asked both the battle barbarians to not worry about it. "Oh¡­Okay." Since their current situation didn''t look that badpared to before, both of them nodded their heads and decided to wait until the space copse was closedpletely, such that they could exit the secret realm without any problem. Time continued to pass and in a sh, an hour passed by and the spatial cracks around them disappearedpletely without any trace, making Ajax and others heave a sigh of relief. Especially Uncle Dralf, his heartbeat returned to normal after seeing that his secret realm and the barrier were still intact without any cracks or whatever. ''Thud'' Outside the secret realm, Prophis who was standing on the devourer eagle king copsed to the ground with a shocked look on his face. ''Prophis, what happened?'' Maybe they shared the pain or passed a tough situation together, they were connected with one another and the devourer eagle king was worried about Prophis when it saw Prophis copse onto the ground. ''I am feeling weak all of a sudden.'' Prophis replied in a weak voice as he tried to stand up and continued, ''I am unable to sense my battle prowess. What''s happening to me?'' ''Looks like the battle prowess I received are not permanent.'' However, it didn''t take much time for him to realize what must have happened to him. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1281 - Side Effect Lasts Only For A Single Day Prophis knew how could it be possible to transform a level 1 elementalw into a level 1 elemental soul in less than a minute without any side effects? ''I am fine but it''s just that I am not feeling very weak to use any of my battle prowess.'' Prophis stood up from the ground without any problem as he replied to the devourer eagle king. ..... In the secret realm, ''Ding, The effects of the Fake king realm crystal on the space elemental spirit has disappeared. ''Ding, The space elemental spirit will lose all its battle prowess for one day. In the secret realm, Ajax had received the system notifications regarding the fake king realm crystal and its side effects of it. ''What? Only one day?'' However, he was shocked when he saw that the side effects of the Fake king realm crystal would be lost only for a single day. ''Didn''t the system say it is one month?'' Ajax thought about the information, he read about the Fake king realm crystal and thought about it. ''Ding, The space elemental spirit absorbed the pure spatial energy from the Space copse and increased his temporary elemental soul to level 3. So, the side effects of the Fake king realm crystal decreased to a single day. ''Ding, Not only that, after the side effects on the space elemental spirit disappear, the level of that elemental spirit''s elementalw will be increased by multiple levels. ''What?'' Just as he was wondering why the side effect of the Fake king realm crystal decreased by so much, he received a system notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''His elementalw will be upgraded after one day? Also, there is my devourer eagle king, I wonder whether it benefitted anything from the space copse like Prophis.'' ''Even if it didn''t, I am already satisfied with its new bestialw. I need to check that it made everything topsy-turvy for some time.'' Ajax was already satisfied that the whole situation had calmed down; however, he received great news. So, he was very happy and excited about exiting the secret realm to check how much they improved. "Shall we go out now?" Ajax asked the barbarians saying that everything was settled outside. "Yes." Dralf and Darbaudr were waiting for Ajax to say these words for a while and as soon as they heard his words, they nodded their heads. ''Open'' Without wasting any more time, Dralf opened the portal to the outside world through which they walked out. "Summoning master." "Master" Seeing Ajaxe out of the portal, both Prophis and Cale respectfully called Ajax. "You did well." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he praised them. "No, master. Prophis saved the day from the mess I created." The devourer eagle bowed to Ajax as it informed Ajax that he was the one who created the earlier situation that nearly cost his life and the barrier of the secret realm. "So, you know how to ept it. Not bad." Ajax was surprised at how easily the devourer eagle king epted it because the devourer eagles are not only greedy, they would not ept their mistakes that easily. "Sorry, master." Cale was really sorry from the bottom of his heart because he had created such a huge mess that might have cost the life of Prophis along with his own life. "Good. The next time, be careful when you do such things. Do you understand?" Even though the oue of their earlier predicament was good, Ajax didn''t want to take such unnecessary risks because he knew sooner orter, all his elemental spirits and the contracted along with non-contracted spirit beasts would be powerful. It''s just that it would take some time. That doesn''t mean he was not going to risk his life anymore; instead, the reward should be greater or the risk should be lesser. ''As long as the reward outweighs the risk, it is worth taking such risks.'' This was Ajax''s thought in his head when he ordered the devourer eagle king to not take such risk. Even though the earlier risk was worth taking because of the rewards his elemental spirit and the devourer eagle king received, it is all be possible because Ajax used the elemental spirit store to buy the ''Fake king realm crystal''. Otherwise, the devourer eagle king would have already died by now, Prophis would have been injured severely and the barrier of the secret realm would have been destroyed. Even if they survived, they would have not gained such massive benefits without Prophis bing the king realm elemental spirit. "Okay, master." The devourer eagle king nodded his head agreeing to Ajax''s orders. "Prophis, you will feel weak for one day; however, after that, your new elementalw will be increased by multiple levels." Next, Ajax looked at Prophis and asked him to not worry about his battle prowess and informed him that it would onlyst for a day. "Really? Great." After hearing Ajax''s words, Prophis became excited because he thought he would be weak for a long time because the power he received was so huge. However, the side effects thatsted for only one day werepletely out of Prophis'' expectations. What''s more, ording to Ajax, his elementalw would increase by multiple levels. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head as he was greatly satisfied with Prophis'' attitude and his actions. From the beginning, Ajax like Volcanis and Prophis a lot when ites to making wise decisions in dire sections. Not only that, Prophis helped him in gaining 11 unofficial elemental spirits when he visited the elemental world for the second time. As for the first, he introduced Cerauno who was a special elemental spirit. Overall, Prophis contributed a lot even before he formed a contract with him and now not only did he save the devourer eagle king but improved his new elementalw by multiple levels. ''I need to help Prophis be a King realm elemental spirit soon.'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1282 - Spatial Zone And Space Collapse Ajax thought Prophis would be of great help to him if he became a king realm elemental spirit because of his spatial skills. If Prophis could open the portals to the other worlds, then it would be easy for Ajax to conquer more worlds and collect their world cores. If he got more world cores, he could increase his cultivation to the peak of the King realm cultivation without any problem. ''Looks like I need to keep an eye on the special items section in the elemental spirit store.'' Ajax noted it down in his head as he decided to check the new bestialw and the elementalw learned by the devourer eagle king and the elemental spirit. ''Ding, Elementalw:- Spatial zone (sealed) Effect:- At level 1, the elemental spirit can create a zone around him with a radius of 10 meters. As long as the elemental spirit is inside that zone, all attacks will be diverted into the direction that the elemental spirit wants. Be it a physical attack or an energy attack, it will be diverted without any problem. Skill:- Spatial rifts Spatial rifts:- a dozen or more portals will open around the elemental spirits that are interconnected with one another. The sizes and distance between these portals arepletely controlled by the elemental spirit. Ajax first checked the elementalw of the space elemental spirit. Even though the true level of his elementalw would be known tomorrow after the side effects are finshed, Ajax just wanted to know the effect and the skill rted to the elementalw. ''Oh. Basically, he will be invincible as long as he activates his elementalw.'' Looking at the information appeared in front of him, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he was satisfied with elementalw and skill. Although it was not some overpoweredw that could kill anyone as soon as it was activated, it could help the space elemental spirit survive no matter who his enemy was. ''However, the downside of this elementalw is limited to a 10-meter radius and the duration for how long thew can be active.'' Ajax always had the habit of thinking about the shorings of any skill orw, so that he could take the measures to take care of these shorings. Almost all elementalws can only be active for 10 minutes and in some rare cases, it would be a little higher. So, Ajax knew that Prophis'' invinciblity was limited to 10 minutes. ''Nevertheless, as long as the elementalw''s level increases, both the range and duration of the elementalw will be increased.'' Ajax was not worried much about it when it came to Prophis because after the side effect disappears, Prophis would be gaining multiple levels for his elementalw. ''Now, let''s see what the devourer eagle king learnt.'' After checking the elementalw and skill rted to it, Ajax focused on the bestialw of the devourer eagle king. ''Ding, Bestialw:- Space copse (level 10) Effect:- In a 100-meter radius around the devourer eagle king, a space copse will be summoned covering the entire 100 meters. In these 100 meters of radius, the eagle king''s battle prowess will be increased by 10 times and decreases the battle prowess of its enemies by 10 times. Note:- Allies will not be affected by the space copse? nor will they receive any special boost. Skill:- Spatial orbs. Spatial orbs:- The spirit beast will release ck coloured orbs continuously as long as it wants; however, the moment its bestialw disappears, then it will be risking its life by spewing the ck coloured orbs. ''What? Itprehened ''Space copse''?'' Just from reading the name of the elementalw made Ajax''s jaws drop as he muttered, ''What''s more, it is not level 2 or level 3 but level 10. It isi just one step away from having its second bestial soul.'' The devourer eagle king currently had two bestialws ''Space copse'' and ''Advanced eleration''. They are both at level 10 and only one step away from transforming into bestial souls. ''Looks like Cale will be bing more powerfulpared to Adler.'' Ajax could not help but think of the king of the 10 devourer eagle kings he formed a contract with. Even though he was already a mid-level spirit beast king, he only had two bestial souls and no more bestialws. So, Ajax felt when Cale reaches mid-level spirit beast king, he would be much stronger than Adler. ''Anyway, let''s see the full details regarding this bestialw.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about other things as he focused on the effect and skill that came with the bestialw. Overall, Ajax was satisfied with the progress made by the devourer eagle king. ''He is really a monster¡­he is just a level 2 elite general realm cultivator but he had a king realm spirit beast as a pet and a rare elemental spirit that is at peak level 10 elite general realm.'' As Ajax was checking the improvement of his spirit beast and the elemental spirit, Uncle Dralf was shocked with what he had seen. Even though Dralf already learned that Ajax had a powerful master, he didn''t expect Ajax to own a spirit beast king like devourer eagle king as his pet. ''Looks like he is really special that his master gifted him with scuh good gifts.'' This was the only thought in Uncle Dralf'' head because he assumed that Ajax received both the rare elemental spirit and the devourer eagle king from his master. However, what he didn''t know was not only Ajax tamed the devourer eagle king using his brute strength but he had another 10 devourer eagle kings under his care. As for Darbaudr, he was looking at the surroundings as he felt the spatialws around him were good and tried to increase the level of his cultivator''sw. "Now, let''s go and register my name for the contest." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1283 - Registration Time Is Over One of the reasons why Ajax entered the Ylercester province was to participate in the contest. So, how could he miss it? Without wasting any time, he suggested the barbarians leave from that ce. "Yes, young master." Even though Darbaudr wanted to stay back to increase his cultivator''sw using the remaining spatialws from the ''Space copse'', he still nodded his head as he wanted to apany his young master more in this province. "Let''s go." Soon, Ajax and the others mounted the devourer eagle king and flew towards the ce where the other participants were staying. Of course, Darbaudr was the one who guided them as Ajax wasn''t the ce where he needed toplete the registration for the contest. "Darbaudr, I noticed you were a little disappointed earlier when I asked to leave from that ce." While they were flying, Ajax spoke to Darbaudr in a calm voice as he continued, "Don''t worry, instead of increasing theprehension in your cultivator''sw from the remains of the space copse, why don''t you learn from the space copse itself?" "It''s nothing, young master. I can learn it slowly and break through into the king realm." Until today, Darbaudr didn''t know the existence of the ''Space copse'' much less finding another space copse in his life would be impossible. So, he replied to Ajax saying that he would improve the cultivator''sw with time. "When I said you will improve your cultivator''sw from a space copse, it means, you will see more and more space copses from now on." Ajax knew what Darbaudr was thinking in his head. So, he informed him about the devourer eagle king''s new elementalw. "Oh" Darbaudr was surprised for a moment before nodding his head because he was no longer surprised when he thought about the origin of the earlier space copse. Even though the allies of the devourer eagle king won''t get any positive effect or negative effects from the space copse, that would not hinder Darbaudr and Prophis toprehend more regarding their spatialws when the devourer eagle king uses his bestialw. ... In front of the huge gate where the registration process was going on. Compared to before, the number of youngsters in front of the gate were very few as the day was about to end and almost all the registrations werepleted. "Let''s close the registration process now." The head of the royal servants saw that thest youngster in the line finished his registration and ordered the royal servants who were doing the registration. "Yes, sir." Before the incident in the morning, they increased the registration time by two hours and it had finally ended. All the royal servants were tired and the moment they heard their boss say that they could wrap the registration, they were all excited as they could final go back to their homes. ''Screech'' Just as they stored all the things back into their space rings, they heard a loud screech from the distance and hurriedly turned to check in that direction. In the sky, they saw a huge eagleing towards them at an incredible speed. "Sir, who do you think ising now?" One of the royal servants was curious as he asked their boss who had more knowledge and experiencepared to the normal royal servants. "How do I know?" The head of the royal servants was already in a bad mood because of the afternoon incident where he had to apologize to some young man. Compared to that, what made him even more angry was that the captain of the royal guards made him apologize to that young man. So, he red at that royal servant who asked about the origin of the huge eagle in the sky. The huge eagle that was rushing towards them was none other than the devourer eagle king and on its back, Ajax along with the two battle barbarians were sitting and enjoying the flight. "If they came for the registration, tell them that the process ispleted and they werete." In a t tone, the? head of the royal servants ordered his men to reject them if they wereing for the registration. ''Yes, sir." All the royal servants nodded their heads in agreement. They were already generous in extending the registration time by two hours and still someone isingte. So, they will noot feel bad even if they reject the neers. ''It was their fault toete for the registration.'' This was the simple thought in their heads; however, they were still curious about the huge eagle that looked majestic and very powerful. ''Thud'' Soon, the devourer eagle kingnded on the ground as Ajax and the two barbarians jumped from the back of the eagle. "Is this the ce where we have to register our details to participate in the contest?" After getting down, Ajax asked Darbaudr as he looked at the royal servants who were looking back at him with curious looks. "Yes, young master." Darbaudr came here in the afternoon with others; however, before things got heated, he left for the secret realm. So, he had no idea about the afternoon''s incident. "But, looks like we arete I guess." Ajax could tell that the registration was closed from the looks of the royal servants. "Wait a second, young master, let me ask them." Even Darbaudr was also sure about it, he wanted to try and ask the royal servants whether his young master could still register his details for the contest. "I am sorry to inform you but the registration is closed." Since they had already received the orders from their boss, they were directly informed about the closure of the registration. Nevertheless, they were very polite because they could tell that these barbarians were powerful. "Oh. So we arete." Darbaudr shook his head and was about to bribe them, when he heard a voice from the side. "Young master, are you here for the registration?" ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1284 - Registration "Young master, are you here for the registration?" Before Darbaudr could even try to bribe the royal servants, a voice came from the back and all the royal servants were surprised when they heard those words. Because the owner of the voice was none other than the head of the royal servants who ordered them to reject any new registrations. ''...'' They were speechless at the actions of the head of the royal servants; however, they didn''t say anything because he was their boss. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and replied to the middle-aged man because that question was directed at him. "Even though the registration time is over, I can make an exemption for the young master." With a huge smile on his face, the head of the royal servants acted politely in front of Ajax. "Oh. Thank you." Ajax didn''t know whether the middle-aged man was always this good to everyone, nevertheless, he didn''t bother much about it because he just wanted the registration to be done as soon as possible. "Don''t thank me. Geniuses like you are required to participate in the contest and that is the reason why the royal family is hosting their contest." While maintaining the huge smile on his face, the head of the royal servants started the registration process. "Young master, please ce your hand on this stone." Soon, one of the royal servants summoned an irregr shaped shining crystal and asked Ajax to ce his hands on it. "Okay" Ajax nodded his head and ced his hands on the stone; however, there was no reaction from it. "Young master, please introduce yourself, like name, age, cultivation and if you are a summoner, then how many elemental spirits do you want to register. By the way, only the elemental spirits that are registered can be summoned in the contest and if you summoned other elemental spirits during the contest, you will be disqualified without giving any chance." The head of the royal servants politely asked Ajax to introduce himself. "My name is Ajax and I am 16 and Ie from Zrochester province. Currently, my cultivation is level 2 elite general realm." Ajax introduced himself as he continued, "Yes, I am a summoner." "it and Quarrise out and show your faces." While giving out his details, Ajax summoned his two earth elemental spirits from the inner world. "Everything the young master has said until now has no lies." The royal servant that was holding the irregr shaped crystal replied to the head of the royal servants. ''Looks like I am right, he is definitely a genius.'' Hearing the royal servant''s words, the head of the royal servants was excited because the reason why he changed his attitude earlier was that he felt Ajax was some kind of genius. There were a few reasons why he came to that conclusion before Ajax could even introduce himself. One, the battle barbarians, who would not follow anyone'' orders were following a young man. What''s more, they were even showing a great respect to him by calling him ''Young master''. Two, the aura emitted by the huge eagle was so powerful that he didn''t doubt the spirit beast was a king realm spirit beast. Also, he was very sure that it was not a regr king realm spirit beast. The third one, the most important one was, the young man was apanied by a space realm elemental spirit. Even though he was not sensing any cultivation from the space elemental spirit, it only made the head of the royal servants even more worried because only high-level cultivators and beings could do something like retracting theirplete cultivation, making others think that they were just mortals without any cultivation. ''The space elemental spirit can fool anyone; however, not me.'' The head of the royal servants thought to himself as he started to call Ajax respectfully. However, after learning that Ajax was from the Zrochester province, he was shocked to the core as he didn''t expect that someone from Zrochester province could have servants like the battle barbarians, a king realm spirit beast and a space elemental spirit with unknown cultivation. Actually, he would have straight away rejected if someone else from the Zrochester province came at this hour; however, the head of the royal servants could clearly tell that Ajax definitely had a good backing. So, he made an exception without thinking much. "Young master, I will note down these two elemental spirits. But I suggest you add another one or two elemental spirits because the contest this time is going to be very tough." Marcus registered Ajax''splete details and at the end, he stated that Ajax was an earth elemental summoner and wrote down two elemental spirits ''it'' and ''Quarris''. Also, he didn''t forget to give a suggestion to Ajax regarding registering more elemental spirits. It wasmon sense that Ajax had more elemental spirits in his spirit consciousness. So, he informed Ajax about the top geniuses participating in the contest. "Actually, I thought to use only one elemental spirit but I am giving the participants some face by registering the two elemental spirit names." Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face, making Marcus think that Ajax was very arrogant. ''Another arrogant young master. Who cares, as long as he bes popr after this contest, he will definitely remember me for making an exception in registering his name.'' In Marcus'' eyes, there are only two types of participants. A ''genius'' and a ''trying to be a genius''. Ajax was clearly a genius and he just wanted to enter into the good book of Ajax andter enjoy some benefits if Ajax made it to the top. If not, he had other geniuses whom he helped previously by giving them special treatment. So, he was not worried about it as he already selected a few youngsters who are going to enter at least the top 100 in tomorrow''s contest. "As you wish, young master." Marcus nodded his head and sent Ajax to a good resting quarters afterpleting the registration. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1285 - Start Of The Contest Soon, Ajax was guided into the resting quarters for the participants. "Young master, do you want a special quarter with a whole room for yourself?" Along the way, the head of the royal servants, Marcus asked Ajax with a slight smile on his face. Without the special invitation from the royal family, no participant would be given a whole room for himself because there would be thousands of youngsters participating in tomorrow''s contest and it would be troublesome for the royal family to provide amodation for everyone. Moreover, the youngsters from the Xacaster province and a few geniuses from Zrochester province were given a special invitation. Only they were allowed to enjoy the benefits of having a whole room for themselves along with a couple of their guards. "I would like that; however, I have a few friends who were also participating in the contest. So, I would like to stay with them." However, Ajax was not interested in getting a whole room for himself as he declined Marcus'' offer without any hesitation. "Okay, young master." Marcus was not offended and his respect grew even more because he thought, ''Looks like he was not someone who will forget his friends even with his talents. Looks like it will be a lot easier for me to gain his favour.'' Soon, he guided Ajax to the ce where the youngsters from the Zrochester province were staying. The number of youngsters participating in the contest was less than a hundred and the lowest among the three provinces of the Purple stone world. However, the highest number of participants in the contest was not from the Xacaster province; instead, it was from the Ylercester province despite the fact it was weaker inparison with the Xacaster province. Some of the true geniuses of the Xacaster province were at the critical breakthroughs in their cultivations whereas some others didn''t think much about the contest as they felt it was a hassle to move to and fro between the province. What''s more, Ylercester province was just a low-level province in their eyes and if they entered it, their cultivation would be degraded. "Okay then, young master. I will take my leave now." Marcus didn''t want to enter the quarters that were given solely for the youngsters from the Zrochester province because he didn''t want to see the faces of those who made him lose his face in the afternoon. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head and entered the quarters along with the two barbarians. As for Prophis and the huge devourer eagle king, they went back to their resting ces as Ajax didn''t want to attract the attention of other participants before the contest even started. The vagrant cultivators and others were surprised to see Ajax; however, when they thought about Ajax''s powerful master, there was nothing to be surprised about. "Ajax, is your master going to attend the contest?" Seward and Elek asked with curious looks on their faces. "I don''t think so. He is too busy with his own work and even if he had time, I doubt he would be attending the contest as it was nothing but a joke in his eyes." Ajax replied with a bitter smile, making everyone think that even Ajax was disappointed at his master. Actually, Ajax said that first line with the dream master in his head; however, he remembered that he had a master now and he was very powerful for the Purple stone world and of course, the contest was nothing but a joke in his eyes. "I really want to meet your master, Ajax; however, I doubt he will allow us to see him." In their eyes, the cultivators from the Zrochester province were ants and could be killed whenever they wanted. As for Seward and other vagrant cultivators, they knew that in the eyes of the powerful cultivators like Ajax''s master, they were nothing but ants with a little bit of strength. "One day, I will definitely take you to him." Ajax replied with a slight smile because ording to him Mostror was not someone who would treat others because of their cultivation; instead, he sees their talent and hard work. So, Ajax felt it was not an impossible task for him to introduce them to his new master. "We will wait for that day." Seward and Elek were excited as they continued, "Anyway, you have to rest Ajax for tomorrow''s contest. Just keep your talk short and rest early." After saying that, Seward and Elek left the youngsters to talk for some time before going to sleep. "I knew you would being, Ajax." "Me too." "You got a powerful master." . . . Soon, all the youngsters talked with Ajax. Mostly, it was others who envied Ajax for having a powerful master who could even allow Ajax to move between the barriers. ''If they knew that I could travel between worlds, I wonder how they would feel.'' Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. ¡­.. Next day morning. The day which all the cultivators in the Purple stone world were waiting for had finallye. There was a huge stage made up of unknown metal and on it, exquisite chairs were ced for the powerful cultivators all over the world. Connecting to the stage, there was a seating arrangement in a circle just like how colosseums have for the spectators to watch. Of course, the sides of the huge stage were specially reserved for the important people other than the powerful cultivators who already have their seats on the stage. As the distance between the huge stage increases, the importance of the cultivators would be decreased. As for the mortals, they were not allowed to watch unless one of the participants was a direct rtive to him or her. Inside this colosseum-like arena, the spacious ground was around 10 kilometers in radius from the center. "I am the minister of the Flerton kingdom and I will be hosting the contest for today." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1286 - Summoners Get Special Treatment Everywhere In front of the huge stage, nearly one hundred thousand youngsters were standing with serious looks on their faces as they looked at the cultivators on the stage. Even though there were a dozen exquisite chairs, only half of them were filled and the remaining chairs were empty. Among those who were seated on the exquisite chairs, one old man stood up and walked to the front before saying, "I am the minister of the Flerton kingdom and I will be hosting the contest for today." He was wearing the formed robes that looked graceful and the aura emitted by the old man was powerful for the youngsters standing below the stage. However, they didn''t change their expression as they listened to the old man with their full attention. "You might be wondering why half of the chairs on this stage are empty, right?" The old man was satisfied with the stature maintained by the youngsters in front of him as he continued, "The three chairs on the left side are for the protectors of the three provinces, the six chairs on the right side of the stage are, for the kings from six kingdoms from three provinces." "So, do you think they will have the time to watch the entire contest when there are so many participants?" The old man didn''t answer them directly but made them get an answer to the question that he raised earlier. "As for the majestic chair at the center was for someone very powerful and it was none other than the emperor of the Purple stone world. If we are lucky, we might see him but the chances of him appearing are not high. So, don''t keep your hopes high." The old man''s words not only shocked the youngsters but even those who apanied them and watched them from the spectators'' seats. ''What?'' ''Emperor of the purple stone world?'' ''I hope he reallyes and I can brag about it for the rest of my life.'' For cultivators from the Zrochester province and Ylercester province, bing an Emperor realm cultivator was a dream that they could not achieve even if they were given 10000 years of life span. And in the entire Purple stone world, there was only a single Emperor realm cultivator, at least that''s what everyone believed. So, bing an Emperor realm cultivator was not the only achievement for them, even seeing an Emperor realm cultivator was also an achievement. So, everyone hoped that the emperor of the purple stone world would make his appearance for this contest. "Anyway, let''s talk about the contest." Soon, the old man who introduced himself as a minister of the Flerton kingdom continued speaking, "There will be a total of five rounds for this contest." "Five rounds?" Everyone raised their eyebrows because no one knew how the contest would be because its pattern changes every time, making it impossible to figure out how many rounds and what kind ofpetition they would set for each round. "However, there is a special benefit for some of you." With a slight smile on his face, the old man continued, "The participants who can summon the elemental spirits will be directly promoted to the third round whereas the remaining participants have to pass the rounds one by one." ''What?'' ''Excellent'' ''I can avoid fighting this trash.'' ''This is unfair. What if they can summon the elemental spirits? I can easily defeat them with my fists and skills.'' ''Heavens are testing me. I have to go through each and every round. I can do this.'' Hearing the old man''s words, the youngsters below the stage were having various thoughts in their heads depending on the mentality. Participants who can summon elemental spirits were happy as they could skip two rounds and didn''t have to fight non-summoners as they were just trash in their eyes. Some non-summoners were unhappy and felt it was not fair, whereas a few of them thought they had to prove themselves by passing the two rounds. Even though the non-summoners were disappointed, they didn''t argue with the old man because as the participants of the contest, they have to follow the rules and they knew very well the consequences of talking back to the Flerton royal family. "The protectors might join us by the third round which will start tomorrow. Today, we will bepleting the first two rounds." "Summoners, you can either go and rest in your resting quarters or you can find a seat in the spectator''s zone to watch the first two rounds." The old man asked the summoners to move away from the spacious grounds while exining what they could do in the meantime.. "Yes, sir minister." Without wasting any time, the participants who can summon the elemental spirits directly left from the spacious ground, leaving behind the non-summoners. "Princess Daphne, why are you looking worried? Are you not feeling well?" While leaving the spacious ground, Ajax saw that Princess Daphne seemed like he was worried about something and asked her about it. "N..no¡­it''s nothing." Princess Daphne looked at the huge stage in the distance for a moment before shaking her head, saying there was nothing. "Is it about your father?" Even though he didn''t know everything about Princess Daphne, he was sure that Princess Daphne didn''t like her father and her father was forcing her to do something that she didn''t want to do. Moreover, Ajax also noticed a familiar face on the huge stage and it was none other than the king of the Zrochester province. That''s right! Since Stephen Draton is the sole king of the Zrochester province and Draton kingdom is one of the six kingdoms in the entire Purple stone world, he has a spot for himself on the huge. However, other than him, the remaining five chairs beside him were empty. From this alone, anyone could rte that King Stephen is the weakest king among the six kings in the world and he could not bete for the contest, unlike other kings. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1287 - First Round "It''s nothing." Even though Ajax asked Princess Daphne about the reason behind her worry, she didn''t answer him, making Ajax shrug his hands and stopped bothering her before finding a seat in the spectators'' seats along with Levi, Paulin and Princess Daphne. Because among Ajax''s friends, only these three were the summoners and the rest of them had toplete the first and second round. Among the hundred thousand youngsters who participated in the contest, only ten thousand of them were summoners leaving behind more than 90000 non-summoners on the ground. Almost all the youngsters have the cultivation of level 10 elite general realm and a few of them have the cultivation of level 8 elite general realm. Other than Ajax, Levi, Paulin and Princess Daphne, there are other young participants from the Zrochester province who could summon the elemental spirits; however, the number was pitifully in a single digit. Mostly, these summoners belong to the top three sects and the five great families and only one or two are summoners whereas the rest of the participants from these families and the sects were non-summoners who had to go through the first and second rounds of the contest. "Looks like all the summoner participants are settled in the spectator''s zone¡­Haha." No summoner left the colosseum as they wanted to see the first and second rounds of the contest, making the old minister reveal a light chuckle as he asked, "So, are you ready for the first round of the contest?" "Yes, sir minister." The non-summoners were ready as they nodded their heads with both excited and determined looks on their faces. They were excited because the contest is finally going to start and they were determined because they wanted to win the first two rounds and fight the summoners in the third round to show them that they were not all-powerful and could be defeated. Not only the non-summoners, even summoners who were participating in the contest were also looking forward to the start of the first round. "Okay then, listen well." Seeing the determined looks on the youngsters'' faces, the old man revealed a satisfied look on his face as he started exining about the first round of the contest. "Even though I can see you are very determined to perform very well in this contest, the first round will actually let me see the really determined ones." "Huh?" The old man''s words made the youngsters raise their brows; however, the old man didn''t bother to exin much about it and said, "The first round begins now." ''What?'' ''The first round has started already?'' ''But, what are we supposed to do now?'' ''Is this some kind of prank or what?'' . . Almost all of the youngsters standing in front of the huge stage were puzzled as they didn''t know what they were supposed to do and looked at the old man, who was chuckling to himself. Not only the participants, even the spectators and other high-level cultivators who came to select a few good disciples from the contest were also surprised at what was happening. Even though they were called powerful cultivators, the truly powerful cultivators are yet toe. They most likelye tomorrow which was the actual day of starting the contest. ''Oh. So, the first round is eliminating the trash?'' However, it didn''t take much time for these cultivators to know what was happening as they nodded their heads. ¡­. In the ground. ''Huh? What is this pressure?'' ''Are they trying to kill us with such an insane amount of pressure?'' ''I quit¡­please let me out of here.'' As time continued to pass, the youngsters in the ground started to feel the pressure that was pressing them to the ground. Some of the participants directly fell to the ground, bing unconscious. ''Trashes like these are daring to participate in this contest.'' Even though most of the participants were feeling quite pressured with the cultivation pressure that were pressing them to the ground; however, there were a few participants, who could still maintain their calm under such a huge pressure scoffed at those who became unconscious. "Looks like there were quite a lot of participants who are just as strong as the summoners. Good." The old minister watched everything happening to the youngsters on the ground with a satisfied look on his face. Even though 90 percent of them were barely hanging under his cultivation, there was still 10 percent of them who maintained their calm, making the old man satisfied because it was much more than he had expected. ..... ''Oh. The first round is about weeding out the weak.'' Ajax was not surprised when he figured out what was happening with the participants. ''But, what I am curious about is, how long is he going to pressure them? The unconscious participants will be okay; however, those who were trying to hold on to their unconsciousness might face some serious consequences.'' Ajax looked at the participants who werepletely covered in sweat but still standing on the ground while gritting their teeth. He felt they were taking an unnecessary risk for their future. "Ajax, they wanted to show their determination, So, you can''t me them." Paulin, who was sitting beside Ajax read Ajax''s thoughts as he gave his thoughts on those who were trying their best to hold on to their standing. "I say they are foolish for trying to hold on to their standing by risking their cultivation. Even if they were risking their lives, I would have thought they were not foolish; however, I could not help but shake my head at their foolishness." Ajax knew his words were quite harsh but it was the sad truth. "Huh?" Paulin raised his brows at Ajax''s words because he had never seen Ajax say something like that before. So, he asked, "Can you exin in detail?" ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit conquered a Bronze demon world. Do you want to collect the world core? However, before Ajax could give a reply, he received a system notification in his head, making him pleasantly surprised. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1288 - Ajaxs View On Struggling Participants ''System, I can retrieve the world core from the core realm of a world even if I am very far away from that world?'' Ajax never thought that it was possible because there must be millions of kilometers of distance between that conquered world and the Purple stone world. So, he asked the system about it in a curious tone. ''Ding, It is possible for the host to open a portal to the world conquered by the host''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Soon, the system replied without any dy, making Ajax could not help but be anxious to test how the process works. Actually, Ajax had a n of going through one after another world that his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts have conquered before retrieving the world cores from the worlds. However, the ability to retrieve the world cores even from such far distances, made Ajax convenient in collecting more world cores. ''Should I go back to the quarters and try out this new ability to open portals to the conquered worlds?'' Ajax looked at the participants in the distance and silently thought in his head as he decided what he had to do now. ''Since I don''t have to participate in the contest until the third round, which will only start tomorrow, there is no need for me to waste my time here, right?'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he decided to leave for the resting quarters as it would be the only ce where no one''s present. "Ajax?" Just as he was thinking of leaving the colosseum to go back to the resting quarters, Paulin woke him up from his thoughts. ''Oh. Right! Brother Paulin asked a question.'' Soon, Ajax remembered that Paulin had asked a question. Even though Paulin knew Ajax''s words were harsh about the young participants, he didn''te to a conclusion so soon as he asked Ajax to exin why he thought they were foolish. "Actually, I am impressed by their determination to stand against the cultivation pressure of that old man; however, I don''t think it is worth it." Ajax shared his thoughts to Paulin about the participants as he continued, "I know you didn''t understand. Let me be more clear on this." He knew that it would not take much time to exin to Paulin his thoughts before going back to the resting quarters. As for Paulin, he continued to listen to Ajax''s words while looking at the participants in front of the huge stage. "Just think about it, brother Paulin. Let''s say they will pass the first round and what will they gain by surviving the first round with so much difficulty? Nothing, right? They have to go through the second round and who knows how difficult it would be when the first round was already so difficult for them?" Ajax didn''t stop his exnation just yet as he continued, "But, if they continue to grit their teeth and experience the powerful pressure of a King realm cultivator, their spirit consciousness will start cracking and the chances of damage are very high." "Even by chance, they went through the first two rounds by risking so much, I highly doubt more than 100 of these ny thousand young participants will stand a chance against the weakest summoner participant." "So, after thinking about this, I feel those who were pushing themselves very hard just under this pressure, it was better for them to give up and train harder, rather than risking their cultivation which is the most valuable thing for a cultivatorpared to his life." After saying that, Ajax directly stood up from his seat as he informed Paulin and others, "I will go and take some rest for tomorrow''s rounds." "Okay." Everyone knew how powerful Ajax was even with just a level 2 elite general realm cultivation and they also knew that because of his powerful master, Ajax must have seen even more interesting fightspared to the current one. So, of course, they were not surprised that Ajax wanted to leave the colosseum. ''His thoughts are also unique. No wonder, he was selected by a powerful disciple.'' How could someone without any special talent be the personal disciple of a powerful master? This was the conclusion that Paulin came to after hearing Ajax''s thoughts which he nearly mistakenly thought that Ajax was looking down on the young participants that were struggling to withstand the pressure of a king realm cultivator. ''Nevermind, Justice, Lewis and others were having no trouble because of the training we had gone through recently. I am sure that they will not have any problem in passing through the first two rounds without any problem.'' Soon, Paulin stopped thinking about other participants and only focused on his friends and after seeing how calm they were, Paulin could not help but think about their training in the various secret realms. Other than Paulin''s friends, there was no one who was able to maintain their standing against the king realm''s cultivation pressure. Even the participants from the top sects and the great families of the Zrochester province were shaking and barely standing under the pressure. ¡­.. ''Sigh¡­looks like the contest this time is very toughpared to before.'' ''Looks like it.'' ''I pity the participants from the Zrochester province as it would be their first time seeing the king realm cultivator, much less experiencing their cultivation pressure. They will be eliminated in the first two rounds for sure.'' ''Yes. There is no doubt about it; however, I saw there were more than 20 young summoners from the Zrochester province that were participating in the contest.'' ''Isn''t it a little bit too much?'' A group of old cultivators from the Ylercester province and the Xacaster province was looking at the participants from the Zrochester province and looked at them with faces full of pity. That''s not it. They were shocked to see nearly 25 young summoners from the Zrochester province. "A little bit too much?" ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1289 - Dralfs Revenge ''You say that a little? It is arge number and the Zrochester province should not have that many young summoners.'' One of the old men was serious as he replied to the old man beside him who said the young summoners from the Zrochester province were a little bit more than usual. In general, in every generation, there used to be no more than five summoners in the Zrochester province and three or four of them would die just after a year of bing a summoner. Even the powerful cultivators of the Zrochester province, the six vagrant cultivators were not able to be the summoners because of the impure essence of nature in the province. From this alone, one could understand how hard it was to be a summoner. However, right now, there were around 25 young summoners from the Zrochester province and almost all of them were having a cultivation of around level 5 elite general realm or higher than that. ''Yeah. There are a lot of them this year.'' Even though 25 young summoners were still less in front of the Ylercester province, it was still a lot for the Zrochester province. ''Looks like there is something going on with the Zrochester province.'' Soon, the group of old men started sharing their views on how Zrochester province had more summoners than usual. The powerful cultivators from the Ylerecester province didn''t want the Zrochester province to have more summoners because it would make that province more powerful than them. If Zrochester province bes powerful, then the Ylercester province would lose its second rank and be thest ranked province in the Purple stone world. ... In the resting quarters, Ajax didn''t waste much time as he went back to the resting quarters along with the two battle barbarians who were not letting Ajax roam alone in the Ylercester province. Ajax could only smile bitterly as he let them follow him back to the resting quarters. "You two stay here and don''t let anyone enter the room." After ordering the two battle barbarians, Ajax entered the room and closed the door. As for Darbaudr and Uncle Dralf, they didn''t say anything and stood at the door to guard. "Uncle Dralf, where are those bastards? Didn''t you say they would visit the contest?" While standing, Darbaudr asked Uncle Dralf about someone. "I was also wondering about that. Do you think something must have happened to them or what?" Uncle Dralf raised his brows as he replied to Darbaudr with a question. "What can happen to them? They are the most cunning and f*cking cockroaches. They also have a backup n for everything." Darbaudr replied with an angry look on his face. When Darbaudr was in front of Ajax, he never showed his anger; however, right now, he waspletely different as though he was furious at the people they were talking about. "Let''s wait for a few more days, the contest has just started today and everyone will starting to the contest slowly." Dralf tried to calm Darbaudr as he continued, "And do you know what I am nning to do them?" "Huh? We are going to kill them and it will be over." Darbaudr replied inly without wasting any time as though other than killing his enemy, Darbaudr didn''t have any other ns for them. "Stop acting like a young man, Darbaudr. You are the tribe chief now and is this how you think?" Uncle Dralf pped the back of Darbaudr''s head as he continued, "We kill the top echelon thates to the contest andter, we visit their tribe and massacre the entire tribe, then what?" "What else? We will fulfil the revenge for our entire tribe that got massacred by the demon apostle and his demons." Even though Darbaudr was not very intelligent to begin with, he was not very dumb either. In some cases, his thinking was even exceptional, making Ajax think that all barbarians were not dumb and always thinks with their muscles. However, if he had seen Darbaudr right now, he would have doubted his judgement about Darbaudr. "What do you want to do then?" At the same time, Darbaudr asked Uncle Dralf about what he was nning to do to the tribe they wanted to take revenge on. "Sigh¡­I know you are very angry because you lost your pregnant wife but don''t forget she is my daughter too." Uncle Dralf was serious as he continued, "We will be doing nothing to those cockroaches." "What? Nothing?" Darbaudr was shocked for a moment when he heard those words as he continued, "It''s your daughter and the entire tribe that was killed by the demons all because of that tribe. Do you even know what you are saying?" "Calm down, Darb." Uncle Dralf knew that Darbaudr easily gets agitated when it was about his wife. So, he asked him to calm down as he exined, "Let''s say if the high-level tribe members saw us in the colosseum in the next few days of the contest. What do you think they would do?" "If they realize that you have be the king realm cultivator and I am still alive, they would hide forever in their little secret realm withouting out for a century or so." Darbaudr knew that they had to kill the members of that tribe the moment they saw them; otherwise, those cockroaches would hide forever and make things harder for them to take revenge on them. "Listen to me first." Dralf revealed a slight on his face as he continued, "Let''s ask a favour from your young master to enter their secret realm and kill those the current chief of that tribe. After that, we will show ourselves in their secret realm beforeing out without killing anyone from that tribe." "Then, what¡­" "Then, they will be living in fear forever because their safest secret realm is no safer; however, they can''t evene out of it as we knew each and every single one of their hideouts." Before Uncle Dralf could finish his sentence, Darbaudr said what would happen if they went by his uncle''s n. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1290 - Collecting The World Cores (1) "Uncle Dralf, where did you hide your brain until now?" After listening to Uncle Dralf''s n, Darbaudr could not help but ask his uncle about hiding his intelligence all these days. "What are you saying? I am always using my brains to save the tribe until now." Uncle Dralf scoffed at Darbaudr and asked his nephew to keep his head calm and guard the door for Ajax. In his view, as long as they do a few things for Ajax, they could ask Ajax to help them in entering their enemy''s secret realm when the timees, because Ajax said that he had the ability to pass through any barrier. ... Inside the room. Ajax didn''t know what the battle barbarians were talking about and he was not interested in it¡­at least for now. Without wasting any time, he contacted the system about his earlier system notification. ''Ding, Team Volcanis has sessfully conquered a smaller demon world. Do you want to enter it to pick the world core? Note:- The system will only open the portal for 10 minutes whether the host can sessfully retrieve the world core or not, it depends on him. In case he failed, he would be stuck in that world and have to find his way back on his own. ''Huh? 10 minutes?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, ''10 minutes is more than enough for me to retrieve a world core.'' Ajax was not worried that he would fail to retrieve the world core in 10 minutes because he had done it in less than 5 minutes in the past. ''Moreover, even if I fail to retrieve it in time, I can always wander around in space and conquer the other worlds before retrieving their world cores.'' Overall, Ajax was not worried about anything as he was fully confident in living alone with his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts while roaming different worlds to be stronger. Ajax had sent four teams made up of his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and Volcanis was the leader of one of such teams. Moreover, he already got the notifications from the system that the remaining three teams had already conquered their first worlds. Nevertheless, he could only retrieve the world cores of these worlds one by one. ''Yes. I want to enter the world conquered by Volcanis.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax asked the system to open the portal to the world conquered by Volcanis. Even though he was not worried about getting stuck on the other side of the world, he didn''t want to get stuck on the other side because he had a mission to fulfil in the Purple stone world which he was not willing to ignore just like that. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he asked the system, it opened a portal for him to enter. ''Ding, The portal to the world conquered by Volcanis'' team has sessfully opened. Please enter ande back within 10 minutes if you don''t want to be stuck in that world. Along with the portal, a system notification appeared in front of Ajax, making him keep note of the timer. ''Let''s go and see how Volcanis'' team is.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax looked at the portal and entered it without wasting any more time as he knew he didn''t have much time to waste. "Swoosh" Soon, Ajax disappeared from the room; however, the portal didn''t close in the room. ¡­. In a smaller world that was filled with the corpse of the bronze demons. "Captain Volcanis, we have sessfullypleted the invasion of this world; however, what are we going to do now?" Bane, the member of the Volcanis team looked at the corpses all around them and asked Volcanis since he was the leader of their three-elemental spirit team. "As the summoning master already ordered us, one of us will stay here and two of us will find another smaller world to conquer." Volcanis didn''t think much before replying to Bane, making the poison elemental spirit raise his brows. "And who will be staying back?" Bane already knew what they were going to do; however, what he didn''t know was who was going to stay back in this corpse-filled world? Moreover, it was unknown when their summoning master woulde here to pick the world core. Volcanis, as the captain of the team, would not stay back, leaving Ignis and Bane who have to stay back. Both Bane and Ignis didn''t want to stay back as they wanted to venture to another smaller world, but only one of them could do that whereas the other one had to stay back. ''Swoosh'' Before Volcanis could give a reply, a portal opened some distance away from them, making all three elemental spirits alert. "No one will be staying back. All three of you will go and conquer more worlds for your summoning master." From the portal, Ajax walked out with a slight smile on his face as he said a few words, making both Bane and Ignis excited. "Summoning master." Seeing that it was none other than their summoning master, all three elemental spirits bowed to Ajax as they respectfully greeted him. "You have done very well; however, I still need more world cores and the essence of nature." Ajax signalled them to stand straight as he praised them and at the same time, informed them that he needs more world cores and the essence of nature. World cores for increasing his cultivation, developing the smaller elf world and the normal dwarf world. As for the essence of nature, currently, he is sacrificing all the essence of nature he gained from his killing and his summons'' killings for the ''Blessed refinement technique''. "We will do as you say, summoning master." Volcanis replied to Ajax in a respectful tone. "The portal closes in 10 minutes. I have to retrieve the world core before that. You can go on with your conquest now." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1291 - Collecting The World Cores (2) Ajax didn''t speak much with the three elemental spirits and asked them to go on their journey because the portal would close in less than ten minutes. Even though he was confident in retrieving the world in less than two minutes, it would not be safe for his elemental spirits to stay in the world after he removed the world core. Around five minutes after he retrieved the world core from any world, it would explode and all the beings in the world would be sted too along with the world, which Ajax didn''t want to happen to his elemental spirits. ''By the time I retrieve the world core, they would be halfway into outer space and they would have enough time to leave the outeryer of this world before this world gets destroyed.'' Ajax looked at the three elemental spirits who were riding on a green leaf aand thought to himself as he waited for them to go far enough into the sky. ''It''s time to enter the core realm and retrieve the world core.'' After two minutes or so, Ajax didn''t see his elemental spirits anymore; however, that doesn''t mean they exited this world yet. Nevertheless, Ajax knew his elemental spirits would be in outer space by the time the world explodes. So, he entered the core realm of the world with a thought in his mind. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax''s consciousness appeared in the core realm that looked very familiar to him. ''Looks like all the bronze demon worlds have the same core realm.'' After Ajax started his world conquering conquest, he destroyed more than a dozen worlds and among them, half of them were bronze demon worlds. So, he felt familiar with the current core realm. ''Anyway, let''s take the world core and leave this world.'' With a little head shake, Ajax flew towards the world core hovering in the mid air and started the retrieving process. ''Ding, The host has sessfully retrieved the world core. Please leave the world in five minutes if you don''t want to explode with the world. As usual, Ajax received a system notification in his head as his spirit consciousness came out of the core realm and entered back into his physical body. ''I hope they left the world.'' Even though he was confident in his calction, Ajax was concerned about it and tried to contact the elemental spirits. ''Nomunications?'' Ajax was excited when he was unable to contact his elemental spirits because it meant that they had sessfully left the world. If they were still in the same world, then Ajax could have established a connection with them. So, he heaved a sigh of relief before going back into the portal. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he returned, the portal closed even before the 10 minutes were finished. ''Tme to enter another world.'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he wanted to enter the other worlds conquered by the other exploration teams to retrieve more world cores. ''System, open the portal.'' Next, Ajax ordered the system to open the portals to the worlds conquered by his other summons. He went in, spoke a few lines with the exploration team before entering the core realm to pick the world core and woulde back within 10 minutes. Overall, it took less than 30 minutes for Ajax to recover the three more smaller world cores. ''System, show me all the world cores I have in my possession.'' After retrieving all the smaller world cores, he asked the system to show his inventory about the world cores. ''Ding, Normal world cores:- 1 Smaller world cores:- 5 Soon, the system showed the number of world cores he had in his possession, making Ajax reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Even though I feel like I have a good numbere of worlds all of a sudden, they are not enough for me to increase my cultivation much.'' Ajax knew it was smiling for no reason when he still needed another five smaller world cores to fuse them into a normal world core which would increase his cultivation by a single minor realm. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something that made him a little bit excited because he remembered something. ''It''s been a month already, right? The devourer eagle kings can finally open the portals to the other worlds. Moreover, the king of the devourer eagle kings can already open a portal in just 15 days.'' The thing he remembered was the time for the devourer eagle kings to open the portals to the other worlds. ''This room is only big enough for me to summon a single devourer eagle king. So, I have to do it one after another.'' Even though each room in the resting quarters was quite big, it was still not enough for Ajax to summon at least two devourer eagle kings, not to mention whole devourer eagle kings. So, he decided to make them open the portals to the smaller worlds around the purple stone world. ''Alder, don''t screech when I summon you and also, fold yourself as much as possible before using your skill in searching the surrounding worlds around the purple stone world.'' Ajax was careful as he gave all the orders to the king of the devourer eagle kings to keep a few things in his head. ''Now,e out.'' First, he summoned Prophis because Alder, his first devourer eagle king was also inside Prophis space realm along with the? other devourer eagle king who had nott formed contract with Ajax, ''Yes, master.'' The usually proud devourer eagle king came out of Prophis'' space realm and spoke through the voice transmission. The reason why Ajax was taking such precautions was there were many king realm cultivators in the colosseum that was around 100 kilometers away from the resting quarters. ''Good. Now, check the world around the purple stone world.'' Before opening a portal to the other worlds, Ajax wanted to know what worlds are actually situated around the purple stone world. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1292 - Unique Purplestone World Since the Purple stone world is a normal human world, the chances of having smaller demon worlds were less but it''s not impossible. ''Nevertheless, there was nothing wrong in learning what were the worlds around the Purple stone world, right?'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head because somewhere deep in his heart, Ajax knew that the chances of having demon worlds around the Purple stone world were high. Because, the purple stone world¡­no¡­the Zrochester province of the purple stone world was continuously attacked by the demons from time to time and it was only possible to open the portals when the worlds are closer, unless there was a powerful demon emperor who wants a world to be destroyed at any cost. However, ording to Ajax''s thoughts, why would a demon emperor bother himself with the normal human world. ''This purple stone is a normal world just for namesake. It is not even worth calling it a normal world.'' Ajax, who had conquered a dozen smaller worlds, always wondered how the purple stone world became a normal world with such a pitiful fighting force. Even though there are a lot of king realm cultivators in this world, he was very sure that there were less than 10 emperor realm cultivators. Actually, Ajax''s guess about the emperors in the Purple stone world was right. In fact, he was already giving it a lot more credit when there were only six emperor realm cultivators in this world and among which only a couple of them were alive. As for how Ajax was able t guess about the number of emperor realm cultivators in this world was from the two demon ves. Since the demon emperors were sending a few demon apostles to conquer this Purple stone world, it was very easy for him to guess there were no more than 10 emperor realm cultivators. ''Anyway, since the demons were always focusing on invading the Zrochester province, I guess there might be one or two smaller demon worlds around the Purple stone world.'' While the devourer eagle king was getting the information about the worlds around the Purple stone world, Ajax was thinking about the chances of the smaller demon worlds. ''Master, you won''t believe what I saw.'' All of a sudden, Ajax heard the surprised voice of Alder, the devourer eagle king in his head. ''What is it?'' Ajax asked the devourer eagle king about it without wasting any time. ''There are a lot more worlds around the Purple stone world than I initially thought.'' Alder''s words contained a hint of surprise as he informed Ajax about the thing that made him surprised. ''A lot more than you thought?'' Ajax raised his brows as he asked, ''Exactly how many worlds does the Purple stone world have around it?'' ''Generally, a normal world should have around three normal worlds along with 30 smaller worlds; however, there were nearly 10 normal worlds along with 100 smaller worlds around the purple stone.'' The devourer eagle king informed Ajax about the number of normal and smaller worlds around the Purple stone world that Ajax could not help but be pleasantly surprised. ''This Purple stone world is definitely an odd one.'' Ajax could not help but state this regarding the Purple stone world because this world which was barelyparable to a normal world was continuously invaded by the demons but still unable to conquer it. Also, in the next few days, they were nning a massive invasion in the ce where there were supposed to be having a lot of powerful cultivators of the Purple stone world. And now, he found out this world is surrounded by so many worlds, making him think that this world was a special one. ''Anyway, this time the demon''s ns will be wasted by me¡­hehe.'' When he thought about it, Ajax could not help but reveal an evil smile on his face. ''So, how many demon worlds are around this world.'' In the next second, Ajax asked the devourer eagle king about the demon worlds. Even though Ajax was on a mission of conquering the worlds, he was not a heartless cultivator who would destroy any world that he sees. He would only destroy the worlds that either belonged to the demons or resided by the demons. As for the other worlds like Dwarf or elf worlds, if possible, he would be their master; otherwise, he would just leave them alone. As for the human worlds, he was not interested in bing the master of the human worlds because the demise of all the powerful and genius human cultivators was because of the humans themselves, who were nurtured and made powerful by the same powerful cultivator. ''Among the 100 smaller worlds, thirty of them were either ruled by demons or resided by the demons themself.'' ''As for the normal worlds, four of them are connected to the demons either directly or indirectly.'' The devourer eagle king already knew what Ajax wanted. So, he had already collected the data regarding the demon worlds from the earlier process. ''Four normal demon worlds and 30 smaller demon worlds?'' Ajax was surprised to hear the numbers because a human world is always surrounded by the other human worlds or other humanoid worlds that had close rtions with humans. However, humans and demons are arch enemies and there was no rtion between them. ''Even though Zanath was a half-demon, he works for my master. That is a special case where Zanath was also half-human.'' Ajax thought about Zanath, the half-demon who was in charge of the Never-returning cave. ''If there are so many demon worlds, I think they must be preparing for the invasion, which was nned in the next few days. Is it alright for me to destroy these worlds now?'' Ajax was a little hesitant when he thought about entering the demon worlds to conquer them. The thing is, Ajax feared the possibility of the demon apostles, who might be staying in these smaller demon worlds. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1293 - Destruction Of The Smaller Demon Worlds (1) ording to the intel he received from the golden demon ves, Ajax knew that the demon armries were currently led by the demon apostles and each demon emperor had sent three of their personal demon apostles. Adding together, there would be a total of 15 personal demon apostles. Since these 15 personal demon apostles were from dififerent factions of the demon emperors, they would separate themselves and station their armies in different worlds. Whether it was a smaller demon world or a normal demon world, it doesn''t matter for them as they would be staying in those worlds for only a few days. ''So, if by chance the devourer eagle king opens the portal to a smaller demon world in which the demon apostle was stationed, then it would be a problem for me.'' Unlike his dwarf world where he would have the battle prowess equivalent to that of a low-level emperor realm cultivator. However, it would be a different thing if he confronted a high-level demon king on other worlds. ''What should I do? Should I take the risk?'' Ajax raised his brows as he started thinking about it. ''ording to the demon ves, other than three personal demon aposltes, there were a 100 regr high-level demon kings, right?'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax came to the conclusion, ''If my guess is right, these personal demon apostles must be thinking that the Purple stone world was not worth sending such a huge force to conquer.'' When the demon ves were informing Ajax about the demon emperors'' n for the Purple stone, Ajax learned that the demon apostles were not much interested as they would not get much resources by invading the purple stone world. ''If my guess is right, then they would just rest in the normal demon worlds; instead of stationing themselves in the smaller demon worlds where the essence of nature was 100 times impure than the essence of nature from Zrochester province.'' When he came to such a conclusion, Ajax stopped hesitatiting any longer as he directly ordered Alder, ''Alder, open the portal to one of the smaller demon worlds.'' Ajax was controlling his urge to invade the normal demon worlds because it would take a lot of timepared to the invasion of the smaller demon world. Also, normal worlds have multiple factions, provinces, sects and all other things just like the Purple stone world. ''If it was any other time, I would have given it a try after using the ''Portal creation'' ability of all the devourer eagle kings except for one, because I will use it to open the portal to a normal demon world.'' Ajax silently thought in his head. His main mission was in the Purple stone world where the demons were nning to conquer the entire Purple stone world. So, at a time like this, Ajax would not take any risk in doing jobs that he didn''t have a particr rity on how long it would take for him toplete those jobs. ''Prophis, go and summon all the devourer eagle kings in this demon world. I want you toplete it as soon as possible.'' Ajax was not wasting any time in conquering the smaller demon worlds anymore because he didn''t know when the two rounds of the contest wouldplete and the youngsters came back. So, he wanted to finish conquering 11 smaller demon worlds because he had 11 devourer eagle kings under his care before any of the youngsters came back to the resting quarters. ..... ''Swoosh'' It took around 30 minutes for the 11 devourer eagle kings to devour the entire smaller demon world before they were sent back into Porphis'' space, who walked out of the portal. ''Prophis, is everything alright?'' Ajax could tell something was amiss because not only did Prophis had a serious look on his face but it also took longer than he had expected in conquering the smaller demon world. ''Summoning master, there were more demons than any regr smaller world. I think they were gathering in this world to invade the Purple stone world.'' Prophis nodded his head as he continued, ''I also saw they are trying to build a teleportation circle.'' ''As I expected.'' Ajax nododed his head as he had already thought about it before asking Prophis, ''By the way, are there any high-level demon kings in that world?'' Since he already knew how powerful the 10 devourer eagle kings would be when they were led by Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings. So, he was not worried about how many demons were in the smaller demon world. All he was worried about was the number of high-level demon kings on the smaller demon world because only they could do something to his devourer eagle kings. ''There were only two high-level demon kings along with a dozen mid-level demon kings in that world.'' Prophis transmitted his voice into Ajax''s head as he informed about the situation of the smaller demon world they conquered just a while ago. ''Oh. Two high-level demon kings? No wonder it took twice as much time as I thought.'' Ajax nodded his head at Prophis'' information before entering the portal. ''Anyway, I will first take the world core and destroy this world before the other demon kings rush here.'' Ajax nned that he had to retrieve the world core soon because a smaller demon world''s destruction at this moment would definitely attract all the demon apostles. ''It will be a good opportunity for me to destroy the other smaller demon worlds.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax entered the core realm and collected the world core beforeing back. Even though so much had happened, the demon apostles were oblivious of everything as they didn''t get anay emergency signal until they suddenly felt a huge explosion. ''Is that a world explosion?'' The 15 demon apostles in various normal demon worlds felt the destruction of the smaller world depending on the distance between them and the destroyed world. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1294 - Destruction Of The Smaller Demon Worlds (2) The personal demon apostles were not some regr high-level demon kings; instead, they were very sensitive to energy fluctuations like the destruction of a world. Even though they were some hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the smaller demon world destroyed by Ajax by retrieving the world core, these personal demon apostles felt it. Nevertheless, they were not sure that one of the smaller demon worlds was destroyed. "You there¡­take a few high-level demon kings with you and check what''s happening in outer space." The personal demon apostles of the golden demon emperor were staying in a normal demon world. After having some discussions with one another regarding the energy fluctuations, they decided to send a few high-level demon kings to check it. "Yes, Sir, demon apostle." The one who was tasked with the mission nodded his head as he selected a few high-level demon kings and flew on a magical leaf that Ajax gave to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts for exploring other worlds. "While they check it, let''s contact all our high-level demon kings stationed in various worlds." One of the demon apostles suggested it as they wanted to check whether everyone from their faction was safe. "Yes." Nodding their heads, the other demon apostles soon started contacting their underlings that were stationed in the other smaller demon worlds and the normal demon worlds. The same thing was done by the personal demon apostles of the other demon emperors. They sent a few of their high-level demon kings to check the situation in outer space while contacting their high-level demon kings stationed in the other demon worlds. Everything was already for the demon apostles of other demon emperors, except for the personal demon apostles of the Golden demon emperor. "What the hell? There is no response from one of the demon captains stationed in the Bronze demon world." One personal demon apostle of the golden demon emperor frowned when he was unable to contact one of his underlings. "What about you?" Nevertheless, he tried his best to calm himself down as he asked the other two personal demon apostles beside him. "There is nothing wrong with my underlings. Everyone is alright and waiting for the orders to open the portals to the Ylercester province." "Same here. They were just eager to enter the Purple stone world since they will get better rewards as long as this mission went well." The two other personal demon apostles replied in a calm tone, saying that nothing was wrong with their underlings. "Damn it¡­.what the hell happened to my underlings? Don''t tell me the world they were stationed in was destroyed." The personal demon apostle who lost his underling was furious as he shouted out loud whatever came to his mind. "Calm down. It is impossible for a smaller demon world to get destroyed at a time like this." "Yes. It must be the space debris or others? things in the space that might be stopping you from contacting your underlings from that particr smaller demon world." The other two demon apostles shared their views and asked the third demon apostle to wait until they get confirmation from the high-level demon kings they sent to check what happened in outer space. "Okay. I will do that." It took quite some time for that personal demon apostle to calm down as he nodded his head. ''Boom'' However, in the next second, they once again felt the same thing they felt earlier, making all the demon apostles repeat the same process. "What happened to my third demon captain?" This time, the demon apostles of the golden emperor were able tomunicate with all their underlings. The other demon apostles were also able to contact their underlings except for one of the personal demon apostles of the Primordial demon emperor. Compared to the golden demons, primordial demons easily be furious and they would not be calm so easily. At the same time, the two other personal demon apostles of the Primordial demon emperor also didn''t bother in helping their fellow demon apostle and let him shout for the next 20 minutes. ''Boom'' After twenty minutes, another explosion was felt by the personal demon apostles as Ajax retrieved another smaller world core. This time, the unlucky demon apostle was once again one of the three Golden demon emperor''s apostles. ''Sir, demon apostle, we saw one of the smaller demon worlds near to us was destroyed right in front of our eyes.'' The golden demon emperor''s apostles received the voice from the high-level demon kings they sent to check the situation in outer space. ''What? So, it was true.'' ''Someone is destroying our demon worlds.'' ''How are they able to do it in such a short time?'' The three apostles were puzzled as they were shocked at the speed at which the smaller demon worlds were getting destroyed. It was taking around 25 minutes for Ajax to destroy the smaller demon worlds and the demon apostles were shocked at such an incredible speed. "Whatever. Let''s alert our underlings in other smaller demon worlds." Soon, they briefed the high-level demon kings about what was happening to the smaller demon worlds around them and ordered them to be careful. ''The moment you see anyone attacking the world you stationed it, you can use all the trump cards on you. Either kill or capture the invader and at the same time, give me all the information about the invader.'' These were the instructions given to the high-level demon kings stationed in different demon worlds by the demon apostles. The thing is, they were currently in a helpless situation because they didn''t know which demon world the invader would destroy next and they were around 40 smaller demon worlds in this cluster of space. "However, we are sure about one time, that the perpetrator was only destroying the smaller demon world. From this, we can conclude that he or she was not an emperor realm cultivator." Nevertheless, the demon apostles were able toe to this conclusion. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1295 - Mass Elimination In First Two Rounds ''Ding, The host retrieved a smaller world core sessfully. Please leave the world as soon as possible. As the demon apostles were bing more and more anxious with the destruction of their smaller demon worlds one by one, Ajax was having an ear to ear smile on his face as he received a system notification. ''Finally, it''s over without any hindrance.'' This was the eleventh smaller demon world and thest world that Ajax could destroy for the next 15 days. Moreover, for these 10 smaller demon worlds, other than a few extra demons and a few high-level demon kings, there were no demon apostles, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. Even though he hoped that he could open more portals, his devourer eagle kings could not use it for a month whereas Alder needed 15 more days. ''Anyway, let''s go back and rx for some time.'' Although he didn''t do anything in conquering the 11 smaller demon worlds, Ajax was tired after retrieving 15 smaller demon cores in a very short time. So, he decided to go back and rest in the resting quarters. ''Ding, Smaller world cores:- 16 Normal world cores:- 1 ''Ding, Do you want to convert 10 smaller world cores into a normal world core? Just as he came out of the portal, Ajax received a couple of system notifications and he nodded his head casually as he needed normal world cores to increase his cultivation anyway. ''Ding, 10 smaller world cores are converted into a normal world core. ''Ding, Smaller world cores:- 6 Normal world core:- 2 As usual, it didn''t take much time for the smaller world cores to get converted into a normal world core. ''With these two normal world cores, I can increase my cultivation by two more levels.'' Ajax was satisfied by gaining 15 world cores as he was not expecting this and he nearly forgot about the devourer eagle kings'' [Portal creation] ability if not for the exploration teams. ''I only need six more normal world cores and as long as I rely on the devourer eagle kings, it will take around four months if I focused only on the smaller demon worlds.'' ''However, if I invade the normal demon worlds and retrieve their world cores, it will only take one month.'' Ajax thought how long it would take him to reach the level 10 elite general realm and as he continued, ''Also, I am very sure that I need a greater world core to break into the king realm.'' ording to the pattern, Ajax guessed how he had to break through into the king realm and for it, the greater world core will be the key. ''Even though the system says that I can use the smaller or normal world core to increase my cultivation, it will not increase my battle prowess by much and when I have the chance to gain huge battle prowess with a little bit of time and hard work, why would I be satisfied with less battle prowess?'' Ajax didn''t want to settle with just the cultivation realm; instead, he wanted the battle prowess much more than what the regr cultivators would gain after their breakthrough into the King realm. ''Even though I didn''t know how much percentage of the demon army that my devourer eagle kings had killed, I hope it will affect their invasion of the Purplestone world.'' Ajax was hoping the demon emperors'' ns to get distracted with the destruction of the 11 smaller demon worlds. .... Time continued to pass and in a sh a day passed by just like that. "Congrats on passing the first two rounds and reaching the third round." The moment Ajax saw that his friends from the Zrochester province were entering the room, Ajax congratted them with a bright smile on his face. "How do you know that when you are not even present in the colosseum?" Lewis asked with a curious look on his face. "I am confident in you guys that you will endure the pressure from the king realm cultivator and also pass the second round even though I didn''t know what it was." Ajax rubbed the back of his head as he replied to Lewis and others. That''s right! Even though Ajax didn''t stay back at the colosseum to watch the first two rounds, Ajax knew that his friends would not have any trouble in passing the first two rounds of the contest. "Haha¡­thank you." Lewi and the rest of the youngsters revealed happy smiles as they thanked him for congratting them earlier. Their current resting quarter was given to the fifteen disciples of the vagrant cultivators along with Ajax, Keshe and Princess Daphne. Of course, their guardians also needed to adjust in the same quarters along with the young participants. "By the way, what is the second round of the contest?" Since Ajax didn''t stay back, he was a little curious about the second round. "The first round was about enduring the 50 percent of the king realm cultivator''s pressure for one hour. It eliminated more than half of the young participants." Almost everyone in the room knew that Ajax was not in the colosseum. So, they first exined the first round before talking about the second round. "As for the second round, it was enduring the full cultivation pressure of king realm cultivator for only two minutes." "What? Only two minutes?" Ajax was not surprised that the second round was still the same as the first rounds with some increased difficulty; however, the round time of two minutes made Ajax a little surprised. "Let me guess, I think only less than 1000 young participants from the non-summoner category must have passed the second round, right?" Ajax guessed the number of young participants who passed the second round. "No" However, Snowstorm shook her head. "More than 1000 young participants were qualified?" Ajax asked with a frown on his face. "No¡­less than 500 hundred of the non-summoners were promoted to the third round." With a proud look, Lewis replied to Ajax. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1296 - Survival Type Round? "Less than 500 participants passed?" Ajax was a little surprised; however, when he thought about the king realm cultivator''s full cultivation pressure, he was no longer surprised. Actually, Ajax expected at least 900 young participants from the non-summoner section to advance to the third round because the young cultivators from the other provinces would experience the cultivation pressure of a king realm cultivator from time to time. Nevertheless, a king realm cultivator''s full pressure was very hard for the young participants to endure for a few seconds, not to mention, they had to endure for two minutes. "Overall, there will be 10500 young participants for the third round." Ajax added the 10000 young participants from the summoner category and added with the young participants from the non-summoner category because from now on, there would be no difference between these two categories for the rest of the contest. Each one of them has to go through the remaining rounds and every round would be the same for everyone. "Yes." Jeff nodded his head before going to his bed. "Also, do you have any clue about the third round?" Ajax was a little curious as he asked them about the third round. "That''s right! Actually, the old minister said that the third round will be inside a secret realm belonging to the Flerton kingdom." This time it was Levi who replied to Ajax''s question as he continued, ''Looks like it is going to be a survival type round.'' "A survival type round? In a secret realm?" Ajax understood what Levi said as he replied, "So, are you guys nning to form teams? I am very sure that if it is a survival type round, the youngsters from other provinces will definitely form their own teams." Even though Ajax didn''t have to form any teams as he currently had 11 king realm spirit beasts under his care along with a dozen elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts each. But, he wanted to help others in passing the round. Even though his friends were strong,pared to the top geniuses from the other province, they were considered average and if by chance, they formed teams, then it would be hard for his friends toe out of the secret realm alive, not to mention passing the round. "We are thinking about that. What do you say? Do you want to join us?" Levi nodded his head as he asked Ajax to join them. "Why not? I can see how powerful my friends are and at the same time, you can also see how powerful I became." Even though Ajax was not nning to summon all his king realm spirit beasts out, if required, Ajax would go all out in using all his battle prowess. "Great." Levi and the rest of the youngsters became excited. "Big sister Keshe, Brave and Princess Daphne, what about you? Are you going to join us in tomorrow''s round?" Lewis and others didn''t know much about Keshe and Brave whereas Princess Daphne, didn''t like her much and at the same time, they didn''t hate her also because she was rted to the Draton kingdom. The feud between the Draton kingdom and the vagrant cultivators was there for two decades and since they were the disciples of the vagrant cultivators, they didn''t want to be close with Princess Daphne. Moreover, they also knew that the royal family had a hand in wiping their families from the face of the Zrochester province. So, no matter what, it was hard for them to act like they forgot everything that the Zrochester province did to their families. However, for Ajax, he didn''t care much about it as he asked Princess Daphne and others about joining their team. "I¡­I will n." "We will join." Before Princess Daphne could give her reply, Princess Keshe agreed to join Ajax''s team followed by Brave who said, "Of course, we will join and let''s show that the youngsters from the Zrochester province are much better than the youngsters from the other province." "That''s good then. So, we two members have to find each other the moment we enter the secret realm and survive together." Even though the third round being a survival type was not confirmed, the chances were high. Also, if it was not a survival type round, they could just stay away from one another and fight others instead of fighting amongst each other. Princess Daphne struggled a little before changing her words as she didn''t retort to Ajax''s words and joined the group. ''...'' No one showed any dissatisfaction when Ajax allowed Princess Daphne to join the group and they knew it was better for them to work together and survive to pass the round. However, that doesn''t mean they were going to speak to her normally from now on. To them, she is just a member of the group and if her help was required, she would help them. "Everyone, go and take a rest. Tomorrow will be the actual start of the contest and we have to prove that we are better than the participants from the other provinces." Paulin shouted loudly as he made everyone go to their beds and Ajax was also one of them. ¡­.. In one of the normal demon worlds around the Purple stone world. "Damn it¡­.We lost five smaller demon worlds." "Among them, three smaller demon worlds are directly under my control." "I have one." The three golden demon apostles were cursing the one who destroyed the smaller demon worlds under their control. ording to their n, demons would open multiple portals in the Ylercestere province at the same time and before the powerful cultivators and the protectors of the Purple stone world could react, they would destroy half of the Ylercester province. However, they lost five smaller demon worlds, making them lose five portals to the Ylercester province. It was just for the demon apostles of the Golden demon emperor, the other demon apostles were also more or less in the same situation, worrying about the destruction of the smaller demon worlds under their control. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1297 - Third Round Among the eleven smaller demon worlds conquered by Ajax, five of them belonged to the golden demon apostles and the biggest losers among the personal apostles of the five demon emperors. Primordial demon emperor''s personal demon apostles lost three smaller demon worlds and the rest of the demon apostles of three demon emperors lost a smaller demon world each. "Let''smunicate with the apostles of other demon emperors." Even though they didn''t know exactly how many smaller demon worlds the other demon apostles lost, they were sure that others also suffered the same fate as them. So, they startedmunicating with the personal demon apostles of other demon emperors to estimate the casualties of their armies ande up with a new n to invade the Purple stone world. "Isn''t it better to contact the demon emperors?" One of the golden demon apostles suggested that they should contact the demon emperor. "Idiot¡­wait a second. Let''s get an estimate of the losses suffered by the other demon apostles before informing his majesty; otherwise, we will be punished if we don''t give the full report." The other golden demon apostles instantly rejected that idea and started having discussions with the other demon apostles. ... Next day, In the same colosseum where the first two rounds of the contest were held, everyone was settled in their ces and getting excited about the third round. Compared to yesterday, 80 percent of the exquisite chairs on the huge stage were filled leaving only 20 percent of them empty. Among that 20 percent, the four main chairs were missing. Three of them belonged to the three protectors of the three provinces and thest one belonged to the Emperor of the Purple stone world, whom no one except for a selected few among the top cultivators of the Purple stone world had seen. "So, are you ready for the third round?" Nevertheless, the contest is not going to stop because everyone knew that it was not 100 percent guaranteed that they would attend the contest. Their work is to protect the world from the other races that were always trying to invade the Purple stone world and if they enjoy their lives just like others, then the Purple stone world would be destroyed but they would still not have any idea about it. The third round was also hosted by the same old minister from yesterday as he asked whether they were ready for the third round. "Yes, sir." All the young participants replied to the old minister with excited looks on their faces and even if they were not ready, no one was brave enough to say that they were not ready. "So, listen carefully because I will not repeat my words the second time." The old minister nodded his head as he continued, "The third round will be held in the secret realm owned by the Flerton royal family. If any of you guessed that this round is about surviving, then you are¡­..right." As soon as he finished his words, many young participants became excited as they already guessed about the round after the old minister mentioned the third round yesterday. Another reason for their excitement was because they had already necessary nning by forming teams with other young participants. Overall, everyone was confident in their own ns that they would easily seed as long as they followed the n. Nevertheless, they suppressed their emotions as they listened to the old minister who continued to speak about the third round. "As for whom you have to survive, of course, it will be from the other participants. The main aim of this round is for you to survive until there were only 100 participants left in the secret realm." ''What?'' However, the next words ofo the old minister made everyone raise their brows because currently they are more than 10000 young participants and among them, only one percent of them will be passed. "Since you are the future of the Purple stone world, the Flertono kingdom didn''t want you to die in a contest. So, it made an arrangement to take care of that." While saying that, the old minister signalled a few royal guards who walked forward with medium-sized boxes in their hands. "Take the space ring from those boxes and wear them before entering the secret realm. When you feel like you might die, then just think about leaving the secret realm and you will be immediately teleported out ofo the secret realm." "However, that means you are sessfully out of the contest and you will be given any rank in the contest." "So, whether you hide, fight or run, it doesn''t matter as there are no spirit beasts or any dangers in the secret realm other than the young participants who will be entering the secret realm along with you." The old minister said everything he wanted to say as the young participants listened to it while taking a spatial ring from the boxes brought by the royal servants. "So, are you ready to enter the secret realm now?" Since he exined everything, the old minister didn''t waste any time as he directly opened the portal right in front of the huge stage for the young participants to enter. "Remember, there is no time limit for this round. It might be over in a few hours or it might even take a few days. So, try your best in surviving till the end." These were thest words the old minister said as he sat down on his chair while summoning hundreds of flying mirrors. ''Let''s go.'' ''You remember our n, right?'' ''We should gather at one ce as soon as possible and eliminate as many young participants as possible.'' . . The young participants saw the flying mirrors in the air and knew what they were used for. After seeing them, they became even more determined to give their best for this round. At the same time, they whispered about their ns before entering the secret realm. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1298 - Ronnie, Darius And Emmie ''Swoosh'' A portal opened in a quiet grasnd and Ajax walked out of it with a calm look on his ce. Since Ajax had gone through many portals, he got used to them and didn''t feel nauseous or anything like that. ''This is no different than the Ylercester province.'' Ajaxpared the secret realm with the Ylercester province and he didn''t find any change in the purity of the essence of nature. ''Compared to the secret realm connected to the Zrochester province, the secret realms of this Ylercester province are not special.'' Ajaxpared the difference between the secret realms of the two provinces. ''Anyway, I will just find others.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax tried to find the high ground to see as much ground as possible. ''This round, I will just try to survive with my skills and battle prowess.'' Even though he could just summon the devourer eagle kings and easily find others, he didn''t want to always rely on his summons. Moreover, he just wanted to have a normalpetition with others to test his battle prowess. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax started his search to find others. ... ''Swoosh'' At the same time, all the young participants also teleported to the secret realm. Maybe the old minister wanted it to be fair for everyone or something else, there were at least a few kilometers between the two participants when they were teleported. Also, the moment they walked out of the portal, 20 percent of the participants felt nauseous as they never walked in and out of the portals. ''I need to find others.'' Just like Ajax, they have also nned to form teams; however, unlike Ajax, they were not calm; instead, they were anxious as they rushed towards a particr direction. .... Outside the secret realm. "Start the transmission." The old minister waved his hands and all the flying mirrors that were spread all over the colosseum glowed brightly for a moment before showing the main participants of the contest. That''s right! Even though there were hundreds of flying mirrors, there were thousands of participants which were obviously not enough to show all the participants. Moreover, why would the powerful cultivators waste their time by watching the performance of a weak participant? At the same time, they didn''t know the true battle prowess of most of them but at least they were interested in the performance of a few young participants who were rted to the top cultivators of the Purple stone world. One of the flying mirrors showed a young girl around 18 years old as she summoned a peak rank 6 flying spirit beast and started flying around. ''Fireball'' Whenever she saw someone, she would casually order the fire elementals sitting in front of her to attack them. Even though her elemental spirits'' attack seemed quick, she was not cold enough to kill other participants. She gave enough time for the others to surrender before leaving the secret realm. ''I don''t know why these lowly cultivators set their hopes so high when they already knew that it was impossible for them to reach in their life?'' Nevertheless, she always looks down on those who were less powerful than her. ¡­. "Sir Olek is blessed with such a talented daughter." "Yes. She is only 18 this year and already reached the pinnacle of the elite general realm in her cultivation." "In a few years, she would definitely be a King realm cultivator just like Sir Olek." Those present on the huge stage looked at the girl named Emmie and talked about her because she was none other than the daughter of the Protector Olek, the protector of the Zrochester province. Even though they said these words on the surface, deep down some of them knew that she was arrogant and offended many of them. Nevertheless, they can''t do anything to her because of her status as the daughter of a Protector. Even though Olek is a protector of a lowly province, he was still more powerful than any of the top-level cultivators in the Zrochester province. Moreover, the other protectors would punish them if they said even a single word about Protector Olek and her daughter because the son of the Protector Erin was in love with her and she also loves him. After this contest, they are going to get married and be a cultivator couple following the rest of their cultivation journey together. The second young participant they were interested in was, of course, Emmie''s future husband, Darius. The young man was wearing simple robes despite being the son of the Protector and just like Emmie, he also summoned a flying type spirit beast that looked exactly like the one Emmie summoned. Moreover, they were moving towards each other as though they knew the direction of one another. "They are using their flying mounts to gather more quickly. Nice n." Everyone knew that it was not Emmie and Darius who knew about each others'' location; instead, it was their spirit beasts that could sense each others'' presence. "If they joined together, I think no one can stop them, even Ronnie." While discussing, the cultivators on the huge stage talked about another participant named Ronnie. Ronnie is the son of the Protector Nade, the protector of the Xacaster province. Emmie, Darius and Ronnie, are the three participants that the top echelon of the Purple stone world was keeping their eyes on because, in the future, they would rece their fathers'' positions and protect the Purple stone world from the outsiders. "Why don''t we check the sons and daughters of the six kings?" Soon, someone suggested and focused on other flying mirrors that were showing the transmission of a few young participants who were eliminating the other young participants without bothering about anything. "By the way, who are these three young men?" While checking out the young geniuses from the six kingdoms, a few old cultivators saw three masked young men who had already formed a team within a short time. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1299 - [Bonus ]Ancient Spear Sect Actually, the powerful cultivators wanted to see the performance of the youngsters from the six royal families in the Purple stone world; however, something caught their attention. In one of the flying mirrors, they saw three masked young men sitting under a tree and rxing as though they hade for a pic. ''Who are you there?'' ''How can they meet one another so soon?'' Even though the few old cultivators were surprised by their actions, they were more curious about how they were able to meet one another in such a short time. It''s been only 10 minutes since they entered the secret realm and they already found one another in that time. Also, the old cultivators knew that these three young participants knew that their team had formed before they entered the secret realm and not the other way around. ''By the way, which sect or family do they belong to?'' Since the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage either belonged to the top sects or top family. So, they were curious about which organization those three young men were from. ''Not from my sect.'' ''Not from my family either.'' ''Are they from the royal families?'' ''No¡­they are not from any of the royal families.'' Soon, more and more eyes started watching the three masked young men in the flying mirror. ''These idiots knew how to attract the attention of everyone.'' Amidst the crown, an old man was also watching the three young men in one of the flying mirrors near him as he muttered to himself with a slight smile on his face. If Ajax was here, he would have easily recognized this old man as Elder Boron. Currently, the old man was sitting with low-level king realm cultivators and he was sitting in a ce where he was hardly noticed by anyone. ''Anyway, the reason why I came to this contest is not for them. But, for him. Is he really alive?'' While saying that, Elder Boron looked at the empty chair in the middle of the huge stage as though he was waiting for someone. ''If he is really alive, he would be so proud of Ajax.'' Many thoughts were shing in Elder Boron''s head as he looked at the empty chair and waited for the person for whom that chair had been prepared. ''Anyway, if there are any worthy seedlings, I can give them a chance to join my sect.'' With that thought in his head, Elder Boron looked at the other flying mirrors to see whether there were any good young participants in the contest or not. .... Inside the secret realm. ''Justice, where are you?'' After running for some distance, he contacted Justice, who was not only the personal disciple of the vagrant cultivators but he was also Ajax''s follower. ''I with Heavenly raven. We wille to you master.'' Since Justice was Ajax''s follower, he could sense Ajax''s location; however, it was not entirely right. Nevertheless, since they have a crow to fly around, it was not much of an issue for Justice to find Ajax. ''Okay then. I will wait.'' Ajax nodded his head as stopped running and found a boulder to sit on. "Huh? How can a cultivator with such pitiful cultivation participate in the contest?" While Ajax was waiting for Justice and Heavenly raven, he was noticed by two level 10 elite general realm cultivators, who mocked Ajax when they checked his cultivation. "..." Ajax only nced at them before resting his back on the boulder to watch the sky. "Damn you¡­how dare you not show any respect to me?" One of the two cultivators became angry when they saw Ajax didn''t even bother to look at them as though they were not worth anything. "Die" In an instant, that cultivator appeared right in front of Ajax with a long spear in his hands and aimed at Ajax''s throat. ''Smash'' However, before the spear could reach Ajax, a silhouette came out of Ajax''s shadow and kicked the cultivator, pushing him 10 meters away from the boulder and Ajax. ''Huh? A clone?'' The two cultivators frowned; however, they were not afraid of Ajax who only had the cultivation of level 2 elite general realm. "Brother, let''s show this brat the power of our Ancient spear sect." One of the cultivators swapped the normal-looking spear in his hands with an exquisite spear before throwing it at the sleeping Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, the shadow clone stood in front of Ajax to block the iing spear. "I am expecting that." The other cultivator from the ''Ancient spear sect'' revealed an excited smile on his face as he threw the exquisite spear in his hand. "You are not the only one with cloning ability¡­multiply." The two cultivators didn''t give any time for Ajax''s shadow clone as they used some technique that multiplied the iing spear into ten spears each. So, overall, there were 20 simr looking spears rushing at Ajax and his clone. ''Teleport'' In the next second, Ajax, who was resting on the boulder disappeared and appeared between the two disciples of the Ancient spear sect and muttered, ''Are you giving up or should I kill you?'' Ajax knew that everyone was watching him right now and he didn''t want them as he didn''t want the so-called ''Ancient spear sect'' toe after him to take revenge against these two cultivators. So, he gave them a chance to give up. "We¡­we admit defeat." At first, they were shocked to the core by the sudden appearance of Ajax between them; however, they didn''t hesitate to give up because they knew Ajax would definitely kill him if they didn''t give up. ''What kind of monster is he?'' ''He only has the strength of level 3 elite general realm cultivation; however, can he defeat us in an instant?'' The two cultivators were a little bit arrogant until a few moments back; however, now, they were no longer arrogant as they finally understood, Ajax was not someone they could mess with. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1300 - Ambush ''Kaw'' "Master." Justice jumped from the white coloured crow as he respectfully called Ajax. "You are finally here." Ajax was getting bored and wanted to find others on his own; however, he controlled his urge and waited for Justice to arrive. "Hi, Ajax." At the same time, another silhouette jumped down from the huge white crow as it greeted Ajax with a slight smile on his face. "It''s been a while since I have seen your heavenly crow. Looks like it has grown a lot stronger than before." Looking at the white crow that was circling above their head, Ajaxmented on Heavenly raven''s spirit beast. "Of course." Heavenly raven was simple-minded as he nodded his head before saying, "Shall we go and find others?" Even though Heavenly raven still didn''t know how Justice was able to exactly pinpoint Ajax''s location, he didn''t ask about it because he knew there were more to the rtionship between Ajax and Justice. So, he didn''t want to pry more into others'' rtionships especially when it involved two men. "Let''s go." Ajax wanted to find others. So, all his friends would make it out of this round. ording to the general information, as long as they survive this round, all 100 young participants would receive some rewards for being to 100. As for thest two rounds, it is to determine the top ten and top three among the young participants who would receive many rewards that would even make the king realm cultivators greedy. Nevertheless, if any of the king realm cultivators attack the top ten young participants from the contest for their rewards or for anything else for the next 10 ten years, their spirit consciousness would be destroyed and their entire families would be punished along with them. ''Caww'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the three of them mounted the white crow as they started their search for others. "Hey, look, someone ising towards us." Just as Ajax and others started flying, a group of cultivators hiding in trees saw the white crow flying towards them. "There are three of them; however, I can evaluate their exact cultivation from this distance." Another young man hiding in the huge trees informed everyone about his evaluation report. "There is no need for any evaluation report. No matter how strong they are, they are still not King realm cultivators. So, our ambush works perfectly just like always." The captain of the group was a thin young man with a pale face and he was wearing grey robes just like his teammates. "Captain, even though this n is perfect, the sect master said that we should not use it at the beginning of the contest." One of the teammates jumped to the tree that the captain was standing and said in a calm voice. "I know that but that bastard is not here yet. As long as he doesn''te, we have to use this n and once hees, we can just hide in in sight with that bastard''s ability." The captain nodded his head as he asked, "Anyway, go to your position, that flying spirit beast ising this way." The vice-captain also understood what the captain was trying to do and he wanted to say something more; however, he shook his head before going back to his ce. As for Ajax and others, they didn''t notice that an ambush was waiting for them in the front as they continued to fly in the same direction since both their sides were barren mountains. Just with a single look, they could tell there was no one on either side as they continued to fly in the direction of the forest where the chances of finding their friends were more. ... In some random ce in the secret realm. ''Swoosh'' A blue coloured spirit crane was flying and on its back, a beautiful blue-robed young girl was sitting while looking for someone. She was none other than Princess Daphne and the spirit crane was the mutated spirit beast that reached the peak rank 6 in its strength. ''Little blue, keep an eye on Ajax and others.'' Princess Daphne ordered the mutated spirit crane while keeping an eye for herself. ''Yes, Princess Daphne.'' The spirit crane transmitted her thoughts to Princess Daphne. ''Swoosh'' Even though she saw a few young participants, she avoided them as she wanted to conserve her strength in finding others. Once she found others, she could go all out in fighting against the other young participants. ¡­.. It''s been nearly one hour since the young participants entered the secret realm and almost everyone partially forms their teams while eliminating the weaker young participants. Even though Ajax''s three-men team didn''t find others, the personal disciples of Vagrant cultivators have already formed either two-men or three-men teams while searching for others toplete their team. It was the same for the young participants from the royal families, powerful sects and powerful families. Everyone mainly focused on forming the teams and fighting other young participants was secondary. Unless they were very confident or didn''t have any chance, they would not fight others. Even with that, among the originally entered 10500 young participants, three thousand of them were already eliminated and the real fighting was yet to begin. ¡­.. Outside the colosseum. "Who is that kid?" "Is he nning to fight solo or what?" "Also, which organization does he belong to?" "Disgusting¡­how could he kill his opponents without giving a chance?" "They are not demons? There is no need for him to kill others as it will decrease the humans'' battle prowess." "Finally, there is some massacre." The cultivators who were enjoying the survival of the young participants in the secret realm startedmenting once again when they saw a young man kill anyone he encountered. That''s right! He didn''t give any chance to his opponents and the moment he saw someone before the other party could react, his head would be separated from the rest of his body. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1301 - Five Top Sects Of Xacaster Province Killing in the contest is not illegal. However, the righteous powerful cultivators felt disgusted when the talented young geniuses killed each other because in the future they would be fighting together against the demon armies or other invading armies. Nevertheless,pared to the righteous powerful cultivators, there were a lot of powerful cultivators who didn''t mind killing others from the same race as long as it was beneficial for them. Another kind of powerful cultivators were those who just like killing others whether it was beneficial for them or not? It doesn''t matter. They just enjoy killing others. So, seeing a young participant who was just killing whoever he encountered, made most of them excited and a few of them were disgusted. But, they were not in a position to stop it as the young participants already knew about the risks of joining the contest. ''Wait for a second¡­why do I feel like I know?'' All of a sudden, one of the powerful cultivators seemed like he recognized the young man in ck robes. ''Brother, do you know him?'' The old man beside him asked with a curious look on his face. ''I am not very sure but I feel that young man looks just like the ''Patriarch of Nightmares''.'' The one who seemed to recognize the young man in ck robes replied after observing the young man keenly for a moment. ''What? Patriarch of Nightmares? The ancestor of the Assassin sect?'' Everyone was surprised by that reply as they looked at the current sect leader of the Assassin sect. ''Is he rted to you, sect master?'' One of the old men asked the middle-aged man sitting along with them in the same row. ''He is my son.'' ''What?'' The middle-aged man''s reply waspletely out of everyone''s expectations as they looked back at the flying mirror in which the young man in ck robes continued to kill other young participants. Even though the middle-aged man named Oliver was the current sect leader of the Main Assassin sect, no one knows much about him. It was the same with the previous sect leader, who established the Assassin sect in the Purple stone world for the first time in history and thus he was called as ''Ancestor'' by everyone. Nevertheless, he gained the title ''Patriarch of Nightmares'' and became one of the five guardians of the Purple stone world with the power second to the Emperor of the world. No one knows what happened to the five guardians and the Emperor of the Purple stone world for the past 15 years. As though they disappeared into thin air. And all of a sudden, the King of the Flerton kingdom said that the Emperor of the Purple stone world would be attending the contest, making all the powerful cultivators and even average cultivators attend the contest. ''Can''t you guys just watch without making all these whispering?'' Amidst the shocked looks of the powerful cultivators from the powerful sects and the powerful families, an eerie voice made everyone silent. ''This bastard¡­just his voice is enough to scare me.'' ''When did hee? I didn''t even notice that he was here until he spoke?'' . . A few cultivators cursed the owner of the voice because it belonged to the sect leader of the Necromancer sect which is one of the top five sects in the Xacaster province. So, obviously, his status was much higher than most of the so-called powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage. ''Wait a second. If he is here, then what about the other sects from the Xacaster province?'' Even though they were asked to stop whispering, they just changed it from whispering to voice transmission as one of the old cultivators asked others. ''Since the assassin sect leader is already here, I am not shocked with the arrival of the other sect leaders.'' A few powerful cultivators replied with a hint of mocking in their tones. ''What?'' The cultivators who barely had the status to sit with other powerful cultivators were shocked as they slowly checked the seats that were supposed to be empty. However, they were clearly not empty anymore as they were upied by those who were supposed to sit. Just like how the Zrochester province had three top sects, the Xacaster province had five sects. The most powerful one was the Heavenly heart sect from which the emperor and a guardian came. And the weakest sect among the five sects was none other than the Assassin sect that was founded by ''Ancestor''. As for the remaining three sects, they were the Necromancer sect, the Ocean dragon sect and the Serene forest sect. However, with the disappearance of the Emperor and the five guardians fifteen years back, all sects became very weak over time; however, they were still stronger than the sects and families from other provinces. Besides Oliver, the assassin sect leader, four seats were upied by three middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman. The sect leader of the Necromancer sect is Myles and he was focusing on the flying mirror which is showing his son. Oliver, the sect leader of the assassin sect was watching his son Cain who was killing everyone that wasing in his way. Esther, the matriarch of the Serene forest sect was focusing on two flying mirrors each having a young girl. However, the noticeable thing in the two flying mirrors is that both girls look exactly the same. Diego, the sect leader of the Ocean dragon sect, had two dragon horns on his head as he was watching a young man in blue robes in the flying mirror. Kian, the most powerful sect, Heavenly heart sect''s sect leader was looking at the flying mirror in which a young man wearing pure white robes was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. ''This brat, is he trying to breakthrough in the secret realm?'' Kian frowned when he saw the actions of the white-robed young man; however, he suppressed it before anyone could notice his frown. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1302 - [Bonus ]Dream Catcher Net The white-robed young man''s name was Quinn and he was the most talented cultivator in the Heavenly heart sect. His cultivation had already reached peak elite general realm a few years back and no one knows what type of cultivator''sw he cultivated; however, there were rumours that he had awakened three cultivator''sw in thest three years. Whether it was true or false, only time will tell as Quinn never used any of his cultivator''sws against his opponents until now, making him a top contender in this contest. Moreover, he never formed a team with anyone and even now, he was sitting alone trying to breakthrough. ''Hey, there is an idiot who is trying to cultivate here. What shall we do?'' ''What else? Just eliminate him from the round.'' ''Idiot. Why don''t you use your head once in a while?'' ''Huh? Is there any need to use my head in our current situation?'' From a distance, two cultivators saw that Quinn was cultivating with his eyes closed in the middle of a contest and started discussing what they had to do to him. The two cultivators, one was short whereas the other one was quite tall. They were wearing simple clothes and with a single look, anyone could tell that they didn''t belong to any top faction. ''Sigh'' The short cultivator sighed as he ced his hand on his forehead before exining, ''From his clothes, I can tell, he is from a powerful sect or family. As long as we protect him when he is in danger, he will owe us a favour and we could ask for many things with the help of that favour.'' ''Brother, how can you be so intelligent?'' The tall cultivator rubbed the back of his head as he praised the short cultivator. ''So, let''s wait until someone attacks that cultivator. We will make our grand appearance then and make him owe us.'' Looking at Quinn in the distance, the two cultivators could not help but chuckle to themselves as they hid properly while waiting for someone to attack Quinn. Even though they felt like they were looking at Quinn and his surroundings properly, they failed to notice the grin on Quinn''s face whichsted only for a few moments. ... At the entrance of a dense forest. "Keep a close eye on our surroundings, there might be other young participants waiting to ambush us." When the huge white crow was above to fly over the dense forces, Heavenly raven asked them to be careful. "Yes." Ajax and Justice nodded their heads as they paid full attention to their surroundings as they could guess the moment they entered the forest, the chances of getting ambushed increased. "You are right! You have to be careful; however, you are not careful enough to detect our ambush." All of a sudden, Ajax and others heard a voice from trees that made all three of them frown; however, before they could do anything, a made up of golden energy caught them along with the huge white crow. "Shit. We are ambushed." Heavenly raven cursed and tried to cut the energy; however, he was unable to cut it. Moreover, he felt his eyes bing heavy and he wanted to sleep. ''Ding, The host is affected by the dream-inducing ability of the Dream catcher. ''Ding, Detected that the host has consumed a ''Dream resistant pill''. The Dream catcher''s special effect will not work on the host. As for Ajax, he was also feeling the same effects that Heavenly raven was experiencing; however, just when his eyes were about to be closed, he received a couple of system notifications, making himpletely awake. ''What was that? I nearly lost my life.'' For a moment, Ajax felt fearful because he didn''t even know how he would have died if he had not consumed the ''Dream resistant pill'' in the past. "Wake up" As soon as he got hold of himself, he pped Heavenly raven and Justice before waking them up sessfully. "Advanced Spatial des." Ajax used his spatial des skills to cut off the dream catcher; however, the was strong, making Ajax shake his head. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax and others were stuck in the dream catcher, a group of silhouettes jumped down from the trees and stood in front of Ajax and others. "Haha¡­do you think you can destroy the dream catcher just like that?" The captain of the groupughed out loud while looking at Ajax and his friends. ''Why the hell are they still awake? Is there something wrong with the dream catcher''s?'' Even though the captain wasughing on the outside, he was actually worried about the special effect of the dream catcher. ording to their ambush, the target should have already lost consciousness by now and they would kill them before disposing their bodies. After that, they will repeat the same process again and catch the other young participants before killing them. However, the participants they caught this time were still conscious, making the captain and others a little doubtful regarding the ability of the dream catcher. "Is that so?" Ajax was not worried much about it as he tried to use his other skills. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used it, he disappeared from his ce and appeared behind the captain. "Looks like I can still use my skills." Ajax shrugged his hands and caught the captain''s head and before the captain could know what was happening, Ajax broke his neck. ''Thud'' The captain of the group was still unable to believe that he was killed by a level 2 elite general realm cultivator in such a short time. ''How can I die here?'' ''I even brought the sect''s treasure ''Moreover, he was just a level 2 elite general realm cultivator.'' Never in his wildest dreams, he thought that he would be killed in the third round of the contest. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1303 - Dreamcloud Sect Many thoughts went through the captain''s head as his body was slowly falling to the ground. With his strength, he thought he could easily make it to the next round and even if he faced a powerful enemy, he thought he could easily escape; however, Ajax didn''t give any time for him to think before he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. ''Escape'' The other members of the Dreamcloud sect were shivering as they looked at the corpse of their captain. Since their captain, who was the strongest, was unable to react in time to escape from the secret realm, they didn''t hesitate even a single bit before choosing to leave the secret realm. ''Even though we might fail in the contest, at least we will be staying alive.'' This was the only thought in their heads as their bodies disappeared from the secret realm without any traces. ''Bunch of cowards.'' Ajax scoffed at the disappeared members of the Dreamcloud sect; however, he didn''t think much about them as his only goal was the captain of the ground. Actually, Ajax didn''t want to kill anyone in the contest since there is a demon invasion in a few days and the more humans they have, the easier it is to stop the iing demons. Nevertheless, Ajax was not kind enough to those who wanted to kill him. So, he killed the captain of the group without any hesitation. ''Let''s see what kind of this so-called dream catcher''s.'' Next, Ajax looked at the that lost its golden colour after he killed the captain of the group and checked its information. ''Ding, Item name:- Dream catcher. Item grade:- Low-level legend grade. Effect:- 1) The prey caught by the will be unconscious within a fw moments before entering in a pleasant dream that will make the prey sleep forever. Note:- The effect will be reduced for king realm cultivators and the emperor realm cultivators will not be affected by it at all. ''These bastards. He wanted to kill us by putting us in a pleasant dream.'' Ajax shivered when he saw the only effect of the Dream catcher despite being a legend grade item. If not for the dream resistant pill he received as a reward for clearing the dream hall in the battle tower, he would have not even noticed that he had died. "I will keep this which even affects the king realm cultivators." Ajax lost his interest in the heaven grade items, only legend grade items were attracted. So, he retrieved the Dream catcher''s and stored it in his inventory for future uses. ''...'' After the incident, Heavenly raven was looking at Ajax with a face full of respect. Even though he knew that Ajax was strong, Heavenly Raven felt lke he had still underestimated Ajax''s battle prowess who killed the peak elite general realm cultivator before the other party could even notice what was happening to him. "Let''s go and find others." Soon, they once again resumed their journey. Of course, Justice didn''t forget to take all the valuable things from the captain who died in Ajax''s hands. "Master, other than a few spirit stones and poison resistant pills, there is nothing useful in the space ring." Justice checked the items inside the space ring as he informed Ajax with a disappointed look on his face. "Don''t worry. When we gain good ranking in this contest, we will receive so many good items." Actually, Ajax didn''t even order Justice to retrieve the space ring as Ajax was already rich and the normal items like low-level spirit stones or pills were nothing in Ajax''s eyes. The same goes for Justice, who only needs to eliminate demons and other evil beings to increase his cultivation. So, he also shook his head at how poor the top sect''s genius from the Ylercester province was. .... In some random ce in the secret realm. "These insects¡­they dared to participate in such a grand contest with such pitiful battle prowess." Cain, the son of the assassin sect leader became bored at how easily he was able to kill the other young participants and scoffed at them. From the start of the third round to now, Cain didn''t use two attacks on a single participant as he was able to kill in a single attack. ''Anyway, they were able to provide some good meals for my elemental spirits.'' When he thought about it, Cain could not help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face as he continued to walk forwards without bothering with the fallen corpses of the young participants. ''Swoosh'' ''Gulp'' As soon as he walked past the fallen corpses, a ck-coloured smoke woulde out of the ground and swallow the whole corpse, leaving no traces behind. ''If only I encounter the geniuses from the Xacaster province and the geniuses of the two kingdoms from the Ylercester province, I will know how much I improved after receiving the blessing of the Ancestor.'' Cain clenched his fists as he looked forward to meeting the top geniuses of the Purple stone world. ''Five participants?'' As he was walking forward without any care in the world, Cain encountered five young participants whose cultivations were ranging from level 8 to level 10. ''Even though their cultivation has yet to reach peak elite general realm, they look more powerful than the bunch of trash I met previously.'' When he thought about it, Cain revealed an evil smile on his face as he muttered, ''I hope at least these five participants make me summon at least one of my elemental spirits to defeat them.'' The problem of being powerful at such a young age would make it harder to find the right opponents from his age group. So, Cain was a little bit excited as he walked directly in front of them. "Death strike" Even though he was not going to summon the elemental spirits from the start, he was not holding back himself in using his skills. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1304 - King Killer Versus Cain ''Death strike'' There was a U-shaped de in Cain''s hand as he directly rushed towards the five participants with an evil smile on his face. ''ng'' However, one of the participants saw the iing Cain and blocked the U-shaped de in a timely manner. "Haha¡­as I thought, you are different from others." Cainughed out loud when he saw how easily his attack was blocked by one of the five participants. "Everyone, stand back. I will take care of him." The one who blocked Cain''s attack asked others to stand back in a calm tone as though he was confident in taking care of Cain. "King killer, be careful." The other four participants nodded their heads as they asked him to be careful. That''s right! The one who blocked was none other than the personal disciple of Seward, King killer. As for the four other participants, they were also the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators and they were Snowstorm, Dark me, Moon shadow and Bright shadow. Even though King Killer seemed like he was acting like he was an arrogant young master, the others knew that King killer was like that from the beginning. Also, they were taking turns in fighting their opponents and it was finally King killer''s turn. "I know." King Killer nodded his head and looked at Cain with an excited look as he continued, "Looks like all my waiting has paid off as I got a powerful opponent to fight." When they drew sticks to decide how they had to fight first andst, King killer drew the short stick, making his numberst. Until now, the opponents fought by others were not weak butpared to Cain, who emitted a devious aura, they were all weak. So, King killer, who always likes to fight strong opponents, was excited as he finally got to fight someone powerful in the third round. "I will tell you one thing. Fight together; otherwise, it is no fun for me." Cain frowned when he saw how only one of them would be fighting against him, which waspletely different from what he imagined. Even though they were strong individually, Cain felt they were worthless if they fought him individually and asked them to fight together. Only then, he would feel a little pressure. ''Why would someone form a team if not for fighting together?'' Cain muttered to himself as he looked at the four other participants who didn''t have any intention of helping their friend. The thing is, it was not Cain''s fault for misunderstanding that they would fight him together when he first saw them. The only reason Ajax and other personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators decided to form a team was that the powerful participants from the Ylercester province and Xacaster province were doing. They formed a team to stop the other teams from ganging up on the individual members of their team. "Sorry to tell you this, but fighting a single target with a group will not be fun for me." In reply to Cain''s words, King killer shrugged his hands with a nonchnt look on his face. "Sigh¡­I thought it was going to be an interesting fight. Looks like I have to find another group of strong participants." Cain shook his head in disappointment as hepletely lost interest when he saw how overconfident King killer and his friends were. "..." King Killer was speechless at Cain''s words because the only overconfident and arrogant one he saw was Cain but the other party was telling that he was overconfident. "That is too soon to tell." Nevertheless, King killer was not the one who got affected by his opponent''s word as he rushed towards Cain with his long sword. "Amon sword opening." Cain didn''t think much when he saw King killer was using the mostmon sword opening move. "You can die now." In the next second, Cain threw the U-shaped de in his hand at the iing King Killer which flew like a boomerang. "You don''t know how powerful the mostmon sword opening move will be when it was practised for 10 years." In King killer''s eyes, the U-shaped de was nothing but a distraction which he didn''t bother to dodge at all as he continued to rush towards Cain. ''What a fool.'' Cain''s evaluation of King killer degraded even more when he saw King Killer was not even nning to dodge his de and continued to rush like a mad man. "Now, go to die." All of a sudden, the distance between King killer and Cain decreased from 10 meters to one meter in just a second as King killer shed his sword at Cain with full force. ''What the¡­'' Cain was not expecting such an insane speed from the King killer and what''s more, the speed at which he swung his long sword could be considered godly. ''sh'' Cain tried his best in dodging King killer''s long sword; however, he was still unable to dodge itpletely as a small cut appeared on Cain''s cheek. ''ng'' "Not bad, you have a fast reaction speed." Even though the King killer was able to make a cut, he knew how hard it was for others to dodge it with just a single cut. So, he acknowledged Cain''s fast reaction speed while blocking the U-shaped de that finally reached him from behind. "You got a nice de. Is it a legend grade weapon?" When he deflected the U-shaped de earlier, King killer felt his hands go numb for a second and he could tell it was definitely not a Heaven grade weapon. "You made a cut on me?" Cain had a surprised look on his face as he looked at King killer in a new light. "Looks like the fight is going to be interesting. Let''s have some fun. Shall we?" Touching the cut on his cheek, Cain replied to King killer with a slight smile on his face as he directly rushed towards King killer. "Sure." King killer also nodded his head and soon the fight started. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1305 - First Assassin "Looks like it will not take much time for everyone to create their own teams." The powerful cultivators looking through the flying mirrorsmented their thoughts about the young participants and started discussing more about it. As the fight between King killer and Cain started, in various parts of the secret realm, more and more young participants wereing together, forming their teams. Initially, it was a fight between the participants; however, now it changed into a fight between the teams. As time continued to pass, the number of participants eliminated from the secret realm also increased. Even though it might seem like the secret realm was a huge ce, it didn''t take much time for the young participants to encounter each other, either to form a team or fight to eliminate. As for now, there are a little over 2000 young participants left in the secret realm. The size of the team varied depending on the strength of the participants. Those who belonged to the top sets from Ylercester province and Xacaster province formed their teams which consisted of more than 50 participants. Even though hundreds of young cultivators entered the secret realm in this third round, not everyone was lucky enough to survive until they gathered with the rest of their sect members. The same goes with the top families from the two provinces; however, their team consisted of less than 50 members becausepared to the sects, the number of young cultivators who participated in this round from these families was less. "Zrochester province managed to form three teams this time and everyone looks not bad." The cultivators watching from the outside were able to see everything because of the flying mirrors as they talked about the Zrochester province. From their perspective, the Zrochester province was doing good; however, it was truly pitiful whenpared with the other provinces because there were only a few participants that managed to enter the third round and even among those participants, from the looks of it only three teams would be going to form. One team is totallyposed of young cultivators from the top three sects, another team was made up of five great families from the Zrochester province. As for thest team, it was none other than Ajax''s team who were still trying to find each other toplete their team. ... ''Caw'' In the secret realm, a white crow was flying in the air at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow. On the crow''s back, a group of young participants were sitting as they kept their eyes on their surroundings. "Still, how many do we need to find?" Ajax asked Heavenly raven as he looked at the group of young participants sitting behind him. "We need to find Levi, Neil, Silver goliath, Fearless gori, King killer, Dark me, Snowstorm, Bright shadow and moon shadow." Heavenly raven replied without looking back. "I think they must have already formed small teams and are searching for us. We just need to keep an eye on our surroundings. Focus on the fights sounds and our chances of finding them will increase." Ajax shared his thoughts and no one was worried about the others because they knew what others were capable of. Even if they can''t win a fight against other participants, they would not have any problem in escaping their attackers. Until now, except for the cultivators from the dreamcloud sect, Ajax and his team didn''t kill or eliminate other participants because their main focus was gathering others. If they didn''t find others before those participants from the top provinces form their own teams, it would be difficult for their individual friends to survive. Moreover, they knew that, as long as they survived long enough, they would be fighting the other teams sooner orter. ... ''Huf huf'' ''Huf huf'' Back at the ce where King killer and Cain were fighting, both of them were breathing heavily as they took a small pause in their fight. "You are¡­stronger than I thought." Even though both of them were exhausted, Cain was in a much better statepared to King killer. So, he was able to speak after adjusting his breathing a little. "You are also¡­noot bad. You evenprehended your cultivator''sw to the level 5 at such a young age." King killer tried his best to stand straight and replied to Cain, trying to maintain his usual arrogant look on his face. "Haha¡­no wonder, you are arrogant and you have every right to be arrogant with your battle prowess." Cain was not at all offended by the arrogant look on King killer''s face as he continued to reply, "However, in front of him, you don''t have the right to be arrogant." He looked at King Killer, before looking at the four other participants in the distance who were still noting forward to help King killer. "So what? I will maintain the arrogant look no matter who I face." King killer was trying to recover his strength while wasting time with Cain. ''They are definitely well trained. I wonder who their master was.'' Cain silently thought in his head before saying, "I know what you are trying to do; however, I am yet to use my full power. Do you know that, right?" ''Snap'' With an evil smile on his face, Cain snapped his finger, "First assassin,e out." ''Swoosh'' Soon, a bright light shed as a pitch-ck coloured smokeing out of the ground. "Summoning master, is it finally time for me to attack?" From the smoke, an eerie voice came out, making King killer and others raised their brows. ''He is a summoner? That''s right! He is from either Ylercester province or Xacaster province. Of course, he will be a summoner.'' King killer was only surprised for a moment before shaking his head. ''Looks like I need your help, friends.'' King killer transmitted his voice to his four friends who were standing in the distance, waiting for King killer''s signal for help. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1306 - Star Assassin To Cain''s left side, there was pitch ck coloured smoke and in that smoke King killer and others could see two red-coloured eyes that were filled with bloodlust. King killer had already spent so much of his essence of nature in fighting Cain. Even though he could still fight, he knew that the chances of fighting Cain and his elemental spirit at the same time would be out of his hands. So, there was no hesitation in him when he asked for help from his friends. "Isn''t it the first time for the mighty King killer to ask for help from his friends?" Even though Dark me knew that the current situation was not suitable for joking, he still joked to ease the tension of everyone. "Let''s kill the arrogant b*stard first and then we can make fun of King killer for the rest of the day." Moon shadow and Bright shadow pped the short Dark me as they rushed forward and stood in front of King killer. "Damn it¡­why do you twins always like to p me?" Dark me was a little bit annoyed with the p he received from the twin brother and sister before doing the same thing as them. ''Swoosh'' "Summon all your elemental spirits, one is not enough to stop us from killing you." The same goes for Snowstorm too; however, she challenged Cain to summon more of his elemental spirits. Since Cain was currently a Peak elite general realm cultivator, he would have three official elemental spirits along with a minimum of three unofficial elemental spirits. So, Snowstorm asked Cain to summon all the elemental spirit spirits. Even though her words seemed like she was overconfident in her battle prowess, she said those words for a reason. ''From the looks of it he is an assassin and his elemental spirit also looks like an assassin along with its name ''First assassin''. It is better to have all the elemental spirits in front of our eyes;? instead of letting them sneak an attack while we are in the middle of a fight.'' When ites to fighting strategies, Snowstorm is just next to Silver goliath, who was the most intelligent one among Edmond''s adopted children. "Are you sure about it?" Cain raised his brows at how confident Snowstorm was when she said those words. If it was anyone else, Cain would have not even bothered to think about it;? however, because of King killer who made him summon his elemental spirit, Cain felt they would be capable of being friends with such a talented participant like King killer. "I am very sure. Go ahead and summon them." Snowstorm scoffed at Cain and intentionally made him angry, such that Cain would summon his elemental spirits. However, she didn''t know that Cain was not the type to get affected by the words; instead, he would only do what he felt like doing and whether it would make his blood boil or not. "Since you are very confident, I will? summon my second elemental spirit." Cain thought about it for a moment before deciding to summon another elemental spirit; instead of summoning all his elemental spirits. "Second assassin, take care of that girl." Soon, the simr ck smoke came out of the ground and in that smoke, Snowstorm and others saw the bloodthirsty eyes, giving her shivers. "First assassin, you can take care of those three. Don''t kill them in a single attack though. Let the ants show some hope before giving them despair." With a slight smile on his face, Cain gave orders to his two elemental spirits with an evil smile on his face. "As for you, I will let you see your friends'' death." Looking at King killer, Cain said those words. "You¡­" King killer became furious as he tightened the grip around his sword handle and was about to jump at Cain. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could do that, he felt a cold breath on his neck and in the next second, he fell to his knees with his eyes wide open. "Oh¡­by the way, let me introduce you, my official elemental spirit ''Star assassin''. It always likes to stay outside and will not enter my spirit consciousness." Cain revealed a slight smile on his face as he walked towards Kingkiller who was unable to move his body at all; however, he could see and hear everything around him. Behind King killer, a humanoid silhouette appeared for a brief moment before turning into mist and disappeared without a trace. "Let''s not fight until my two elemental spirits kill your friends. What do you say?" While saying those words, Cain sat beside King killer as he looked towards the fight that was about to begin between his elemental spirits that were hiding in the ck smoke and King killer''s friends. ''What did you do to me?'' Even though King killer was unable to speak through his vocal cords, he used the voice transmission to ask Cain about what happened to his body. "It''s nothing. My Star assassin elemental spirit excels in acupuncture sealing and it sealed all the meridians except for some which you are currently using to see, hear, transmit your voice." Cain exined as he continued to say, "I am curious whether your friends also have the same battle prowess as you? Let''s see." After saying these words to King Killer, Cain looked at his two elemental spirits in the distance and ordered, "What are you waiting for? Just start the fight." Snowstorm, Dark me and others wanted to check on King killer; however, they were obstructed by the ck smoke. But, once they received the orders from Cain, the elemental spirits hiding in the ck smoke stopped hiding in the smoke and came out of it. "Snowstorm, Dark me, me and my sister will take care of this thin elemental spirit, you two take care of the other one." As soon as the Bright shadow finished his words, he rushed towards the thin elemental spirit. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1307 - Shadow Siblings Plan ''Swoosh'' Behind Bright shadow, his sister, Moon shadow also rushed towards the thin elemental spirit without any hesitation. Since Bright shadow and Moon shadow are twins, they worked a lot in increasing their battle prowess by working with a good synchronization and they achieved it. So, Bright shadow was confident that the brother and sister duo can take care of the thin elemental spirit and asked Snowstorm and Dark me to work togethe in taking care of the other elemental spirit. "Dark mes, let''s go." Snowstorm nodded her head as she knew what Shadow twins were capable of and focused on the other elemental spirit along with Dark me. "Fire hammmer" "Chaos spear" The first thing they did was summoning their weapons which were high-level heaven grade weapons refined by Esmund, the forger of the essences. "Hehe¡­I will make you hopeless and despair beforoe killing you." Since the elemental spirit''s master ordered him not to kill them directly, he was following the orders. ''Nightmares.'' Without wasting any time, the elemental spirit named ''First assassin'' used the ck smoke and tried to wrap it around Snowstorm and Dark me. ''Swoosh'' ''Die'' ''Fire furnace.'' ''Chaos st.'' However, both of them escaped the ck smoke and used one of their strongest attacks in unison. ''Hehe¡­do you think you cannd any attacks on me?'' With an eerie smile, the elemental spirit disappeared from its ce before reappearing in the same ce. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Snowstorm and Darkme''s attack passed through the elemental spirit when it disappeared andnded on the emptynd. ''What the¡­'' Dark me was surprised for a moment; however, he was already expecting that because the dark and assassin type elemental spirits are hard to deal with. ''Do you have any n in your mind to defeat it?'' Nevertheless, Dark me calmed as he asked Snowstorm, who was the second intelligent cultivator in their team. ''We need to drag this fight and learn more about its moves.'' Looking at the smiling elemental spirit in the distance, Snowstorm replied to Dark mes as she continued, ''Don''t'' use your strongest moves anymore and save as much energy as possible. We will wear it down before giving it a killinig blow.'' As expected, Snowstorm didn''t have to think for much time beforeing up with an ideal solution for their current situation. ''Are you sure it is going to work?'' Even though Dark me was not the time to doubt the words of Snowstorm or Silver goliath before, right now, he was having some doubts. So, he couldn''t help but ask Snowstorm about how sure she was regarding her n. ''I am 90 percent sure it is going to work.'' Snowstorm was confident in her n as she even gave the reason for her confidence,? ''Even though the dark/assassin type elemental spirits have skills to kill their oppoents, they don''t have many skills that would go face to face with their opps. So, as long as we get to know more of that elemental spirit''s skills, we can easily kill it.'' As soon as she finished her exntion, Snowstorm rushed towards the elemental spirit with the ck-coloured? spear in her hand. ''That''s a valid point.'' Dark me''s doubts were cleared with Snowstorm''s simple exnation as he also joined Snowstorm in fighting against the elemental spirit. ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''You are not going tond a single attack on me¡­.hehe'' ''However, I am going to torture you litlte by little.'' The fight contined between the elemental spirit and the two personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. They were only using their basic moves; however, not a single attack was able to touch the elemental spirit; instead, the elemental spirit was having fun with the both of them as it was using its skills on them. However, it was not nning to kill them because of Cain''s orders. ''Endure it¡­we can do it.'' ''I know. I can endure this much pain.'' ''If you can''t endure it, you that space ring to leave the secret realm.'' Snowstorm and Dark me were not at all bothered with the small injuries on their bodies as they knew it would be healed with time. Their backup n if they failed to defeat the elemental spirit was of course, to leave the secret realm. But they left it forst because of the King killer. They only knew that one of the official elemental spirits belonging to Cain did something to King killer, making him fall to his knees and they wanted to confirm whether King killer could use the space ring given to them by the old minister to escape the secret realm in case they want to giveup on the contest. Until then, they could not give up that easily as they were not cruel enough to leave their brother without putting up a good fight. ¡­. ''Moon, it is using the ck smoke to dodge our attacks.'' As Snowstorm and Dark me were fighting the first assassin, Moon shadow and Bright shadow were fighting another elemental spirit whileing up with their own theories. ''What do you suggest? Shall we use that move to clear all the ck snoke from two elemental spirits?'' Moon shadow replied to her brother as she continued to think of a way tond an attack on the elemental spirit. Even though the two teams were fighting different elemental spirits, the both elemental spirits belong to the same attribute Assassin and same element ''Dark''. And the ck smoke was the main thing that was helping both the elemental spirits in dodging their attacks. So, Moon shadow thought to go for their strongest move. ''It is a good idea; however, after using that move, we have to face the side effects within two minutes. So, we have to be careful.'' Bright shadow was also thinking the same; however, he was also focusing on the side effects of usng their strongest move. ''So, be it. Let''s go for it.'' After thinking for a moment, Bright shadow''s eyes shed with a bright light as he decided to use their strongest move. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1308 - Cains Offer ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as Bright shadow thought of a n, he didn''t waste any time as he directly rushed towards the thin elemental spirit, Behind him, Moon shadow also rushed without thinking anything because their strongest move only works when they both worked together. ''Snowstorm, keep some distance away from the elemental spirit you are fighting. Moon and I will be using our strongest move and the rest depends on you two.'' ''We will take care after that.'' At the same time, Bright shadow informed Snowstorm about his n, who instantly agreed with it. She saw the twins use theirbo moves and their strongest attacks. So, she was confident that they would deal critical damage to both the elemental spirits. Nevertheless, she also knew that both brother and sister would temporarily lose their battle prowess after using their strongest move. So, she knew that the rest would depend on her and Dark me. Soon, Moon shadow and Bright shadow started circling around the two elemental spirits and started creating a huge tornado around them. Of course, Snowstorm and Dark me were outside of the circle and the two elemental spirits were currently stuck in the tornado. "Huh? Looks like they are nning to use a strong move." Cain, who was observing the actions of the brother and sister, easily understood what they were trying to do. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother to do anything as he was confident in his elemental spirits. "Bright shot" "Moon st" As for the twins, even after the appearance of the tornado, they continued to run faster and increased the tornado both in height and diameter, before jumping into it while using their next series of moves. ''Swoosh'' Inside the tornado, the two ck elemental spirits that were hiding in the ck smoke looked calm as they looked at the tornado around them. All of a sudden, they saw two silhouettes jump into the tornado and released two different energies from their bodies that directly rushed towards the two elemental spirits. "Do you think it will work?" Even though two elemental spirits said that,pared to before, they were no longer calm as they directly used the ck smoke around them to block the iing energies. One energy looked white whereas the other one looked fiery red and both the elemental spirits knew that it was the shadow siblings'' strongest move. ''Swoosh'' ''Huh? What''s happening? Our control over the ck smoke is losing.'' However, because of the tornado around them, the ck smoke be unstable and they were unable to control it, making them a little anxious. ''Let''s use our strongest moves too.'' ''Boom'' Just as they were thinking of using their strongest moves to counter the iing two energies, they were already hit by those two energies. A huge explosion happened inside the tornado. The energy released by the explosion was so huge that it even sted the huge tornado and the others who were outside the tornado were sted away a few meters away. "Woah¡­that was a very powerful move. The twins are good." Cain was shocked for a moment before shouting out loud excitedly as he praised the shadow siblings. "Did they kill the elemental spirits?" As for Snowstorm and Dark me, they looked into the dust in front of them as they wondered about the two elemental spirits. They were not worried about the Shadow siblings because they already knew nothing would happen to them from their own attack other than the side effect of temporarily losing their battle prowess for a day. ''Dark me, be ready. Even if the elemental spirits were not killed, they must have been injured severely. As long as we don''t give them any time, we can kill them before they even react.'' While looking for the elemental spirits in the dust screen in front of her, Snowstorm secretly informed the Dark me to be fast and careful. Even though the shadow siblings'' attack was very powerful, Snowstorm saw that the elemental spirits have the cultivation level 10 elite general realm. With the addition of their skills, it would be entirely possible for them to easily reduce the power from such a powerful attack. ''I am ready to unleash my strongest attack the moment I have my eyes on them.'' Dark me also knew about it as he readied his fire hammer and kept his eyes fully open. He was ready to attack anytime now. ''Cough'' Soon, coughs could be heard from the dust screen and both Snowstorm and Dark me tightened the grips around their weapons. ''I see the thin elemental spirit.'' Dark me transmitted his voice to Snowstorm as he rushed towards the thin elemental spirit that was100 meters away from him. ''I see the other one. Let''s kill them.'' Snowstorm looked around and found the other elemental spirit as she decided to take care of it. "How did they be so powerful all of a sudden?" "Yeah. I thought we could toy with them for a while before killing them; however, they unleashed so much power in such a short time. How did they do it?" As for the two elemental spirits, they didn''t die from the shadow siblings'' strongest moves; however, at the same time, they were severely injured as they talked about it. "Do you think they are still alive? I want to kill them." "Me too. No one has ever done such a thing to me. I need to take revenge on them for bringing me to my current condition." As they talked, the two elemental spirits became angrier and angrier and wanted to kill the shadow siblings. Soon, they started searching for shadow siblings. ''Found you.'' Since the shadow siblings were affected by the side effects from their earlier attacks, they were unable to move much distance and were lying in the same ce. So, it didn''t take much time for the elemental spirits to find them. ''We are going to kill¡­'' ''sh'' ''You are already dead.'' Before the elemental spirits could finish their words, they heard a voice in their ears as they fell to the ground with their eyes wide open. ''What?'' ''How can we die? We are the elemental spirits of Cain.'' ''No¡­I am not going to ept it.'' ''I must be dreaming. I need to open my eyes right now.'' Both elemental spirits felt it was impossible for them to die because they believed that they were very powerful by being the elemental spirits of Cain. One elemental spirit thought it was dreaming and thought it woulde back to life when it opened its eyes. As for the other elemental spirit, it tried using its hands; however, he was unable to move its hands. At the same time, it saw that a headless body was slowly falling to the ground. ''Is that headless body belongs to me?'' It was thest thought in that elemental spirit''s head as it tried to look at the one who beheaded it. All it saw was a youngdy with a long purple coloured spear in her hands as she revealed a slight smile on her face as though she achieved something. ... ''What? They killed ''First assassin'' and ''Second assassin''?'' Cain, who was watching the fight between the elemental spirits and the vagrant cultivators'' personal disciples with a rxed look on his face, stood up from his ce. Looking at the scene where one of his elemental spirits'' heads got separated from its body whereas the other elemental spirit''s head was smashed with a fire hammer, Cain felt he was dreaming for a moment; however, he knew it was not a dream and he had lost two elemental spirits. ''That is for your overconfidence. Now, you have lost two valuable elemental spirits.'' King killer, who was beside Cain scoffed at Cain for being arrogant and overconfident in the elemental spirits that cost him heavily. As a non-summoner, King killer had always envied the summoners who could form contracts with the elemental spirits and summon them to do their bidding. He also knew that each elemental spirit was as valuable as a Mythical grade weapon because the elemental spirit has unlimited potential and as long as they were given enough resources, they would be very powerful with time. "Didn''t I tell you to summon all your elemental spirits at once? Now, look, what happened? You lost two of your elemental spirits." As the dust settled, Snowstorm and Dark me walked out along with the shadow siblings. The shadow siblings were, of course, supported by the other two as they could barely walk on their own. "Haha¡­don''t worry about those two elemental spirits." Cain was only looked shocked for a few moments before startedughing like a maniac and even said some words that made King killer and everyone around Cain raise their brows. ''What is he talking about?'' ''Is it that easy to form a contract with an elemental spirit?'' Snowstorm and Dark mes tightened the grip around their weapons as they thought about Cain''s word. "I said, is it okay for you two to kill them and their deaths are notpletely in vain as I was able to find some talented youngsters like you." There was no angry expression on his face as he calmly spoke to King killer and others, ''As long as you swore to be my followers, I will not kill you today and even help you in progressing to the next round of this contest. What do you say?'' Cain gave them an offer, making King killer and others raise their brows. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1309 - Paulin Comes To The Rescue Even though Cain acted like he would kill anyone he encountered, he was really not the type to massacre when there were some worthy youngsters who were willing to be his followers. "Bing your followers? That''s not gonna happen. Also, why do you think we will do that?" Snowstorm scoffed at Cain when she heard his offer. She didn''t even think for a moment before rejecting his offer because a summoner who lost his elemental spirits right in front of his eyes but still acted like it was nothing. So, she knew that Cain just want some ves who would do anything he asked for without questioning back. What''s more, from the looks of it, he didn''t care about the lives of his own elemental spirits, then how could she expect that he would care for the lives of the followers? After considering all these things, Snowstorm directly rejected it with a mocking look on her face. "Haha¡­aren''t you a fiery one?" Cain was not at all furious as he still maintained the calm smile on his face because he knew that ''anger is the beginning of one''s own demise. "Fine. A cultivator should have his own path and his own decision to make. I like it when you reject it." Nevertheless, Cain continued to speak to Snowstorm and others before asking others, "What about you? Are you gonna reject my kind offer?" Since Snowstorm was the only one who rejected his offer, Cain asked the others about it. "F*uck off." Dark me was already frustrated to see how calm Cain was and was smiling at the death of his own elemental spirits. So, when he heard Cain'' words, he could not help but shout at him. "That''s not a pleasant way to reject someone''s offer." The smile on Cain''s face didn''t disappear as he looked at the shadow siblings and King killer, waiting for their reply. "Not interested" ''Go to hell.'' There wasn''t much surprise as everyone rejected his offer without wasting much time. "Very well. You didn''t disappoint me a single bit for the entire time. As expected, you rejected my offer despite knowing the fact that you can''t win against me." Cain stretched his body a little as he looked at everyone with a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Since you have made up your mind, it is my turn to do what I feel is right." As soon as he finished his words, Cain pped three times and called, "What are you waiting for? Come out from the shadows and kill them without wasting any time." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, four ck silhouettes came out of nowhere and stood in front of Cain as they respectfully greeted him, "Yes, summoning master." The four ck silhouettes belong to four elemental spirits that were summoned by Cain and adding with the Star assassin elemental spirit that doesn''t like to enter the spirit consciousness, there were a total of five elemental spirits in front of him. As soon as they greeted Cain, the five elemental spirits rushed towards five personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. "Remember my name, it is Cain, the one who is honouring your battle prowess with your deaths¡­.Haha." While saying those words, Cain startedughing like a maniac as he continued, "Also, you can think the word ''Escape'' as much as you want because, without the space rings, you are not going out of the secret realm anyway." Once again he resumed his maniac likeughter as he wanted Snowstorm and others that were about to get killed by his elemental spirits. ''What?'' Snowstorm and others were shocked when they heard Cain''s words and saw that the space ring from their fingers was missing, making them grit their teeth in anger as they looked at Cain''s cruelty. Moreover, his words made them even angrier because he was saying that killing them was some kind of honour. ''Damn it¡­is this how we are going to die?'' ''We trained hard to be stronger to take revenge on the perpetrators that killed our families and withoutpleting it, we are going to die.'' ''Why am I so pathetic.'' . . Even though the five personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators were angry, they knew that they could not resist the iing elemental spirits which seemed to be much more powerful than the two elemental spirits they fought earlier. Among them, King killer was the one who called himself ''Pathetic'' because he was just waiting to get killed by the elemental spirits without getting a chance to defend himself. ''I hope at least the remaining ones can take revenge on those top sects and the great families along with the f*cking royal family.'' This was thest thought in King killer''s head as he closed his eyes. ''ng'' "What happened to you? Are you giving up so easily?" Just as he was wondering why it was taking so long for the elemental spirit to kill him, King killer heard a familiar mocking voice, making himugh. "How is it you will alwayse when I am in danger?" Without opening his eyes, King killer replied to the familiar voice he heard just now. "Maybe we are fated because of your parents who asked me to take care of you." The voice sounded calm and confident as it continued to resound in King killer''s head, "Just wait for a while, it will be over in a few minutes." "Silver organization." A loud voice resounded in the surroundings as a strong muscr young man grew in size from two and a half meters to 10 meters. "Die." ''Thump'' In the next second, he punched the ck coloured spirit into the ground. "Silver goliath" Snowstorm, who heard themotion in the distance, felt excited when she became their leader and the strongest one among all the adopted children of Edmond. "Concentrate on your fight." In the next second, Snowstorm heard a familiar voice beside her, asking her to concentrate on her fight. "Paulin" It was none other than Paulin and while he asked her to focus on the fight, Paulin ced his hands on her shoulder with a slight smile on his face. "Yes. You know what to do now, right?" Paulin replied with a slight smile on his face as he rushed towards Dark me. "Chaos spear" Snowstorm felt that her strength increased all of a sudden and she knew why it was happening. It was Paulin''s innate talent where he could temporarily enhance the strength of his friends and anyone he wanted with a simple touch. So, she was no longer worried about Cain''s official elemental spirits as she raised her weapon at the iing elemental spirit. ¡­ "Paulin, I need some boost too." Dark me who saw that Snowstorm gained a temporary boost from Paulin and fighting the elemental spirit with the upper hand, shouted at Paulin, asking for a boost for himself. "Hey, shorty. Can''t you see I aming?" Paulin was annoyed at Dark me''s hastiness and could not help but call him ''Shorty''. "How many times have I said to you not to call me that?" Dark me was barely keeping himself alive against the fight with the elemental spirit; however, he became furious with Paulin''s words as he shouted at him. "What did you say? You don''t want a temporary boost from me?" Paulin stopped in his steps as he asked Dark me with a calm look on his face. "When did I say¡­wait a second. It is not the time to y. Just give me the temporary boost, you idiot." Dark me was getting tensed with each passing second because the elemental spirit he was fighting was bing more and more ferocious with time. "Fine. Since you seem to be in urgent need of my help, I will give you a temporary boost. Finish the elemental spirit as soon as possible." Even though Paulin seemed like ying around, he knew their current situation was not normal. So, he didn''t waste any time as he casually ced his hand on Dark me for a second before moving out the shadow siblings from that ce. "Finally¡­.I can finally feel that power of the King realm cultivator in my body." Even though Dark me didn''t know how the real king realm cultivator''s powers felt, he knew that with the temporary boost from Paulin, he would definitely have the King realm battle prowess for some time. "Now,e at me. I will burn you to death." Dark me became energetic and confident because he knew he could easily take care of the elemental spirit opposite to him. "I am an assassin too. So, I know exactly what ces you are looking to attack me." At the side, one of the elemental spirits was fought by a ck-robed young man as he confidently swung the dagger in his hands at the elemental spirit. He was none other than Neil, Justice'' little brother whoter became the personal disciple of the vagrant cultivator. Aftering to the secret realm, he was lucky enough to meet Paulin and a few others beforeing here. ''I have to kill this elemental spirit before brother Paulin''s temporary boost on me disappears.'' Neil had already received the temporary boost from Paulin and even with it, he was barely able to suppress the elemental spirit he was fighting. It was not his fault because he was the youngest one among the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators and started his special trainingte. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' There was another young man who was angrily hitting his chest as he fought the star assassin elemental spirit. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1310 - Cain Is Still Calm Other than Paulin, Silver goliath and Neil, there was another strong young man who was also there with them who was fighting an elemental spirit on his own. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' ''Thud'' He was hitting his chest as he transformed into a huge gori. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''What the hell? Why are my attacks not working on him?'' The elemental spirit he was fighting frowned when it saw that its attacks were not even making small cuts on the huge gori in front of it. "Since you attacked me until now, it is my turn to attack you." The huge gori scoffed at the star elemental spirit as it stopped hitting its own chest and rushed towards the elemental spirit. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' With each step it took forward, the ground below its feet shook a little. "You think you can catch me with that body size of yours? In your dreams." Even though the star assassin elemental spirit didn''t know how the huge gori could have such an insane defence, it was not worried about getting caught by that huge gori. The star assassin elemental spirit was known for its speed and camouging skills and as long as it continuously escaped the huge gori''s attacks while finding out its weakness of it, it could easily win the fight. ''Looks like the others are also having a difficult time with these neers.'' The elemental spirit called Star assassin was outside Cain''s spirit consciousness from the beginning and knew everything was under control until the new youngsters came. ''I have to kill this huge gori and help others as soon as possible; otherwise, the summoning master will stop caring about me.'' Even though Star assassin was Cain''s official elemental spirit, it cared for Cain''s attention just like the other elemental spirits under Cain. As long as they prove their worth, they would get many cultivation resources and all other things that an elemental spirit desires. So, everyone was eager to fight their opponents and kill their enemies as soon as possible. "Do you think you can hide just because of your camouging skills? Let''s see." Seeing that the star assassin disappeared from its view all of a sudden, the huge gori looked at its surroundings and scoffed at the star assassin that was hiding somewhere around him. "Fearless gori, go and help Neil if your opponent is such a coward." That''s right! The huge gori was none other than the Fearless gori, one of the adopted children of Edmond and one of the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. Strength wise, he would be in the top five among the personal disciples of the Vagrant cultivators and an emotional one. So, when he saw King Killer and Shadow siblings'' pitiful situation he was unable to control his anger as he transformed into a huge gori to take revenge on their behalf. Nevertheless, the elemental spirit named ''Star assassin'' that he was fighting was hiding from him, making him even more angry. So, he decided to follow the words of Silver goliath in assisting Neil who was barely keeping an upper hand against the elemental spirit he was fighting. ''Roar'' With a loud roar, Fearless gori rushed to the ce where Neil was fighting and started smashing the elemental spirit into the ground. Unlike Star assassin, that elemental spirit was unable to escape from fearless'' hands as it became mincemeat in no time. ''Phew'' Neil heaved a sigh of relief for a moment before saying, "Brother Fearless, you are awesome." Even though Fearless gori uses brute force to attack his enemies, it was almost impossible for anyone to escape them. "It''s nothing." Fearless gori shook his head and asked, "So, shall we take care of the elemental spirit that was hiding from me." Even though Neil didn''t have brute force or his battle prowess were not asparable to the other personal disciples, he had excellent eyesight to see through the things that regr cultivators can''t see. So, Fearless gori asked Neil to help me catch the elemental spirit. "Sure." Neil nodded his head and casually checked his surroundings. "Huh?" However, Neil frowned when he was unable to see elemental spirit anywhere in his surroundings. "What happened?" Fearless gori could sense that Neil was having some problem in finding out the location of the hiding elemental spirit. So, he asked about it. ''Wait a second.'' Nevertheless, Neil didn''t say anything as he thought of something before moving from his ce to check in a particr ce. ''Found it.'' All of a sudden, the frown on Neil''s face disappeared as it was reced with an excited smile as he replied to Fearless gori through the voice transmission. ''Brother Fearless, it is hiding in your shadow.'' ''What? It is hiding in my own shadow?'' Fearless gori was a little surprised as he asked Neil, ''Did it inside the ground merge with my shadow or is it just using its camouging skills to hide above the ground?'' If it was hiding in his shadow, then Fearless gori didn''t think his skills would work; however, if it was using his shadow''s ck colour to hide above the ground, Fearless gori could kill it with his brute strength. ''It is hiding in your shadow.'' Neil replied with a serious look as he knew it was impossible for anyone tond a physical or energy attack on the elemental spirit hiding inside a shadow. "What happened to you? Where is the elemental spirit you were supposed to kill?" Silver goliath had already killed the elemental spirit that tried to kill King killer and moved King killer away from Cain, before shouting at Fearless gori and Neil. "We are unable to find it." Fearless gori replied while rubbing the back of his hand which seemed funny because currently, he was still in the huge gori form. ''Currently that elemental spirit is hiding in Brother Fearless'' shadow and we can''t attack it unless ites out of the shadow.'' As Fearless gori replied to Silver goliath through normalmunication, Neil used the voice transmission to inform Silver goliath about the truth. ''Oh. So that''s how it is.'' Silver Goliath understood the problem with the ''Star assassin'' elemental spirit as he nodded his head. "Die" ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' At the side, both Snowstorm and Dark me used their final moves to kill the elemental spirits they were fighting. ''Phew¡­finally killed all the elemental spirits of that b*stard.'' Both Snowstorm and Dark me heaved a sigh of relief as they assumed they killed all the elemental spirits. Of course, they didn''t know that the ''Star assassin'' elemental spirit was still hiding in Fearless Gori''s shadow and waiting for the right time toe to assassinate one of them before hiding into the shadow again. ''Master, just give me some time, I will kill them all. You can use the skill ''Shadow hide'' to hide in any shadow nearby.'' From its hiding ce, thest elemental spirit of Cain transmitted its voice to Cain. ''Do we have to do that?'' As for Cain, he was still not showing any signs of regret or pain or anything for losing all his official and unofficial elemental spirits except for Star assassin. Moreover, when he heard Star assassin''s voice in his head, Cainzily replied to it before saying, ''Fine then. I will give you five minutes, if you can kill at least one of them, I will give you another five minutes for another assassination.'' ''Thank you, summoning master. I will prove my worth to you.'' Star assassin was over the moon with Cain reply as it swore to prove its worth. "If you failed to kill anyone in the next five minutes, I will make you the ve for all the elemental spirits." Cain replied to the elemental spirit, making it raise its brows. ''What? All the elemental spirits are killed by this group of youngsters. So, what elemental spirits the summoning master is talking about?'' Star assassin was obviously confused with Cain''sst words and thought about it. First, the two unofficial elemental spirits were killed Snowstorm and Dark me after they were severely injured by Shadow siblings. Later, Snowstorm, Dark me, Silver goliath and Fearless gori killed two official elemental spirits and two unofficial elemental spirits, leaving the only official elemental spirit ''Star assassin'', which was currency hiding in the shadow. So, of course, Star assassin was confused with Cain''s words as there were no more elemental spirits in Cain''s spirit consciousness. ''Swoosh'' As for Cain, he didn''t bother to exin anything to hisst living elemental spirit; instead, he jumped into the shadow of a tree right in front of everyone''s eyes. "So, he also got that skill." Silver goliath got a headache when he saw that the summoner also hid in the shadow of a tree. "Dark me, why don''t you use your fire hammer to smash Fearless'' shadow and make that elemental spirite out?" Silver goliath asked Dark me to try to attack the shadow because everyone already tried their attacks, except for Snowstorm and Darkme, who were surprised to know that there was still one elemental spirit left alive. "Paulin, let''s go and make the summone out." As for himself, he brought Paulin to the ce where Cain was hiding. ''I am waiting for you to leave. Now, I can kill one of you.'' As soon as Silver goliath and Paulin left, Star assassin came out of Fearless gori''s shadow and tried to assassinate the weakest member of the group and it was Neil. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1311 - Not Worthy Enough To Become Friends? Since Cain ordered Star assassin to kill at least one member within five minutes, it didn''t waste any more time when it saw that a few young participants were moving towards his master. And the first target it chose was none other than Neil, who was the weakest one among the current young participants. Even though Shadow siblings were unconscious, they were protected by Dark me and Snowstorm. So, it chose Neil as its first target. ''Swoosh'' ''Die'' It appeared behind Neil in a sh with an elemental dagger in its hands. "Got you." ''Puchi'' However, just when the elemental dagger was about to sh Neil''s neck, a huge beast hand caught the elemental spirit and crushed it to death. "That was close, Brother fearless." Neil''s forehead was covered with sweat as he said to Fearless gori. "Since Brother Goliath has devised this n, nothing could go wrong." Fearless gori replied with a slight smile on his face. Before moving towards the ce where Cain was hiding, Silver goliath devised a n and informed about it and without a doubt, the n worked without any suspense as they sessfully killed the elemental spirit. "..." Neil was speechless at the reply. Even though Neil was also confident in Silver goliath''s n, if Fearless gori waste by a couple of seconds or that elemental spirit was faster by a few seconds, then it would have been the end for him. Nevertheless, Neil didn''t think much about it as he looked at the elemental spirit that waspletely crushed by Fearless gori. "Since we killed all of his elemental spirits, it would be a piece of cake for us to kill him now." Snowstorm and Dark me said at the same time that they could not wait to kill Cain because they nearly lost their lives at the hands of Cain and his elemental spirits if not for the timely arrival of their friends. "Yes. Let''s go and make hime out at any cost." They knew how strong Cain was and they didn''t want such an enemy to escape now. If possible, they have to at least make him pay for what he had done to them. "Yes. Even though killing him in this secret realm might be a lot harder, we should at least try killing him. Even if it was not possible, we should eliminate him from this round." Because of the space ring given by the old minister, it was impossible for them to kill Cain because he could leave the secret realm with a thought; however, they would be satisfied even with that because leaving the secret realm using the space ring means ''Elimination from the contest''. "Let''s go." Since they killed thest elemental spirit, they moved towards the ce where Cain was hiding. "Did you kill that elemental spirit already?" Seeing his friends were walking towards them, Silver goliath asked them with a surprised look on his face. Even though he was the one who devised the n for them to kill the elemental spirit, Silver goliath felt it was quicker than he thought. The thing is, Silver goliath didn''t know the time limit of five minutes for Star assassin toe out of its hiding to kill at least one of them. If not for the time limit, it would have not bothered toe that fast and would have been not killed. "Yeah. However, there is something fishy about these elemental spirits." Paulin, who was standing beside Silver goliath raised his brows as he informed others about his thoughts. "What is it?" Among the young participants who were present now, only Paulin was an official summoner and the others were not. So, their knowledge about elemental spirits was not as much as Paulin had in his head. So, when Paulin mentioned that something was wrong with the elemental spirits, they asked with a curious look on their face. "Even though we killed a total of seven elemental spirits, not a single one of them dropped the elemental spirit stone." Paulin said what made him quote his earlier statement. "Isn''t it for the elemental spirits to drop their elemental spirit stones after getting killed?" Silver goliath asked with a confused look on his face. Even though Silver goliath and others didn''t have much knowledge about the elemental spirits, they have minimum basics regarding the summoners and the elemental spirits. Without that knowledge, how could they win against the summoners in theing rounds? So, Vagrant cultivators shared their basic knowledge regarding the elemental spirits and summoners. "Yes, it is rare; however, not to the point where not a single elemental spirit stone was dropped even after killing seven elemental spirits. There is a 50 percent chance for the elemental spirit to drop an elemental spirit stone after getting killed." Paulin nodded his head while rifying others about the rarity of the elemental spirit stones dropped by the elemental spirits. "In short, after every two elemental spirits, we get an elemental spirit stone." Dark me asked with a surprised look on his face. ''Swoosh'' "Not really. Sometimes, we might get an elemental spirit stone after killing just one elemental spirit; however, there will be times where you will get an elemental spirit after three or four kills also." All of a sudden, a blue silhouette appeared beside Paulin, who replied to Dark me. He was none other than Paulin''s elemental spirit cious as he continued exining, "However, not getting a single elemental spirit stone even after killing seven elemental spirits is definitely fishy." "The bodies of the elemental spirit have already disappeared, we can''t even cut open to check for the elemental spirit stones now." Fearless gori had already transformed back into the human as he replied to everyone. "So, there is no need to worry about the elemental spirit stones; instead, we have to take care of the summoning master and join with others." "Yeah. Even though we have good numbers now, we still have to join with others because by now, the others must have formed their own teams and are looking for other teams to eliminate." Silver goliath nodded his head as he asked everyone to stop thinking about the elemental spirit stones. "Yeah" Everyone nodded their heads as they agreed with Silver Goliath''s words. Even though there were currently nine members in their group, three of them were not in a position to protect themselves, not to mention protecting themselves. What''s more, they have to allocate two members to protect those three members in case of any surprise attacks. Moreover, If they encounter any strong teams with more members, with only five men, it would be harder for them to win. So, they need to join with others as soon as possible. "Haha" All of a sudden, a loudugh from the shadow as a silhouette came out of it and sat on the branch of the tree. "He is out." "Everyone, get ready to use your attacks and don''t let him escape at any cost." "The only way you can survive is by giving up on the contest." "Yeah. Use the space ring to escape from the secret realm just like a coward." Without wasting any time, they surrounded the tree and at the same time, they tried provoking him. "Haha¡­is it some kind of provocation?" However, Cain still maintained hisughter as he replied to them, "If it is to provoke me then you have to do more than that." Even after what happened with his elemental spirits, Cain was still calm andughing, making everyone around him frown. ''Did he really not care about his elemental spirits?'' ''How can he stillugh like that?'' ''Everyone, be careful, he must have some kind of trump card since he was very confident.'' The personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators muttered to themselves as Silver goliath warned everyone to be careful. Because he felt Cain waspletely different from the opponents he had faced until now. He was calm andposed even after losing all his official and unofficial elemental spirits. "Also, I am not nning to escape from you or this secret realm and I hope you will do the same." Cain stoppedughing for a moment as he scoffed at the young participants that surrounded him. "Huh?" Everyone raised their brows after seeing how confident Cain was even after getting surrounded by them. "Are you stalling time for your friends or what?" Everyone wanted to attack him direclty without wasting any time; however, they were all stopped by Silver goliath, who asked Cain in a serious tone. "Friends? I don''t have any and there is no one worthy enough to be my friend in this world." Cain replied with a proud look as he looked at the group of young participants around him beforending his eyes on Paulin and the elemental spirit beside him. "So, there is a summoner among you." Cain was a little surprised as he continued to say while looking at Paulin, "You might be worthy enough to be my friend with enough time; however, too bad for you, I am going to kill you and your friends here." "Stop speaking nonsense and just die." Fearless gori became angry with Cain''s words as he transformed into a huge gori once again before rushing towards Cain. "Swoosh" However, Cain dodged the iing attack with a casual jump andnded on the ground. "Since you are so eager to die, I will give you." Cain replied with a slight smile on his face as he shouted, "Everyone,e back to life now." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1312 Pillars of Darkness

Chapter 1312 Pirs of Darkness

"Everyone,e back to life now." Cain snapped his fingers with a slight smile on his face as he looked at the young participants that surrounded him. ''What?'' ''Is he wrong in his head or what?'' ''How can theye back to life?'' ''Is he trying to raise undead from his elemental spirits?'' As for the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators, they were confused and raised their brows as they were trying toprehend the meaning behind Cain''s words. There is only one way to bring the dead back to life and it was Undead summoning. However, unlike the other beings, the elemental spirits would be one with the world core of the world they got killed in. So, it was not possible for anyone to summon the elemental spirits that were killed even with the Undead summoning. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' However, just as they were thinking about how it was possible for the elemental spirits toe back to life, they saw something that made them utterly shocked. Right in front of their eyes, all the elemental spirits that they killed appeared with a sh. ''Huh? Where am I?'' All the elemental spirits that came back to life looked at each other with faces full of confusion as they were very sure that their fellow elemental spirits had died. Among all the elemental spirits, the elemental spirit named Star assassin was the most confused one as it clutched its head and tried to understand what was happening around it. ''That''s right!'' ''All the elemental spirits except for me had died.'' ''No...wait¡­even I got killed by that huge gori while I was trying to assassinate someone within the deadline set by the summoning master.'' ''Speaking of summoning master, he said if I fail the mission, he would make me the ve for other elemental spirits. So, he was talking about it.'' ''H..he can summon us back and what''s more, not in the undead form but the original form as before.'' Star assassin was checking its surroundings as it tried to remember everything that happened before it got crushed by Fearless gori. ''So, does that mean, I will be the ve for these six elemental spirits now?'' Star assassin felt it was unfair because it was the only elemental spirit that stayed long enough on the battlefield; however, instead of rewarding, its summoning master is going to punish it. ''Sigh¡­I have to kill these humans to im my position.'' However, it didn''t take much time for Star assassin to think about what it had to do to not be the ve to the other elemental spirits and it was to kill as many young participants as possible. "How is this possible?" "Are my eyes nning with me?" . . As for the young participants, they could not understand how Cain was able to do it; however, they were sure about one thing all seven elemental spirits hade back to life. "Don''t worry. They are all real and you will be experiencing death in their hands in a while¡­.Haha." Cain could not help butugh out loud while exining that everything the young participants had seen was real. "Looks like they are all real." Silver goliath nodded his head as he readied himself for the fight against the elemental spirits that had miraculouslye back to life. "No wonder, he was able to remain calm even when we were killing his elemental spirits. So, he has the ability to summon them back to life even after their death." Finally, they understood the reason why Cain was calm andposed for the entire time and didn''t even show a hint of anger. "Everyone, be careful and get ready to fight." They also understood that Cain was really a tough opponent and they had to be careful while fighting against him. "Paulin, boost us." Even though Silver goliath and Snowstorm were strong enough to fight a single elemental spirit on their own, the others would have a troubled time. So, he didn''t hesitate in asking Paulin to use his skill to increase the strength of his friends. "Yeah." Paulin nodded his head as he moved as quickly as possible while tapping everyone''s back. Also, he summoned his elemental spirits other than cious whom he had already summoned, before increasing their strengths. "We are going to win against him. So, be confident and give your best." With the addition of Paulin''s five elemental spirits and his ability to boost the strength of his friends and the elemental spirits with a single tap, their team became a lot stronger that could fight against Cain and his elemental spirits. So, Paulin shouted as loudly as possible to raise the morale of the friends and the elemental spirits. "Aargh" With Paulin''s boost and words, everyone felt a lot more powerful than their usual self and they shouted out loud before rushing towards the elemental spirits. Fearless gori, Snowstorm and Dark me, three of them choose one elemental spirit each to fight whereas the remaining four elemental spirits were selected by Paulin and three of his elemental spirits. Paulin''s remaining three elemental spirits and Neil stood guard to protect the shadow siblings and King killer. As for the captain of the team, Silver goliath rushed towards Cain, who was the summoner and as long as he killed him, the remaining elemental spirits would die along with him. "Everyone, we did it once and doing it twice is not a problem." Silver Goliath also shouted out loud to motivate his team while starting his fight with Cain. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' "Interesting¡­you already have good battle prowess, to begin with and with his help, you are able to increase your battle prowess to the next level. It is going to be a really interesting fight." Cain dodged Silver goliath''s hand smash as he replied with an interesting look on his face. "Yeah. I will make sure you have an interesting death. Don''t worry." Silver goliath kicked Cain at an incredible speed at which Cain was not able to see it wasing and was hit by it. ''Thud'' Cain was sted into the huge tree behind him in a second. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' However, Silver goliath didn''t give any time for Cain to use any of his skills or trump cards anymore as he directly jumped in front of Cain and continued to ram into the tree. ''Kacha'' Continuous ramming, made the huge tree eventually fall to the ground; however, Silver goliath still didn''t stop as he continued with his punches and this time it was into the ground; instead of the huge tree. "Summoning master." Star assassin and the other six elemental spirits were worried about their summoning master as they called for him. "You have to worry about yourself before worrying about your summoning master." The moment they were distracted, the seven elemental spirits received powerful attacks from the young participants and were severely injured. "I never thought it would be this easy." Fearless gori and others felt excited and all-powerful as they clearly had the upper hand against Cain and his seven elemental spirits. "Haha" However, their excitement wavered a little before disappearing into thin air, when they heard a burst of loudughter from the crater that was created by Silver Goliath''s punches. "Damn it¡­why the hell is heughing now?" "Can''t he just die withoutughing?" "Everyone, be careful. He might have another trump card." No matter how powerful they were when their opponentughed even at their death step, it was not a good sign. So, Silver goliath hurriedly warned everyone to be careful. ''Rumble'' "You are right! Be careful, otherwise, you don''t even know when and how you will die." From the rumble, Cain''s body floated in the air as he replied to Silver goliath and everyone who was fighting alongside him. Currently, Cain''s body was fully injured and he waspletely covered in blood, making him look scary. "I never thought I had to use my bloodline, but you made him use it to bring my elemental spirits back to life." Cain didn''t show any signs of fighting right away as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he informed how he brought his elemental spirits back to life. "I never thought I would be using my cultivator''sw in this world and will be using it only in a greater world; however, once again you are making me use it." Cain coughed a mouthful of blood as he continued, "You are worthy to be my friends; however, those who knew about my bloodline and cultivator''sw, will die." "Pirs of darkness, activate." Without wasting any more time, Cain directly activated his cultivator''sw. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, pirs started rising in a 100-meter radius around Cain. There were a total of 10 pirs that were pitch ck and the space between each pir was filled with ck smoke, making it impossible for anyone from the outside to see what was happening inside. ... A few kilometers away from the pirs, "Heavenly raven, there seemed to be some pirs rising out of the ground. Isn''t it the same direction where Shadow siblings used their ultimate move?" Earlier, they saw a huge tornado in the distance and Heavenly raven said that it was the shadow siblings'' ultimate move. So, they were flying in that direction for a while now and finally just when they were about to reach that ce, ck pirs rose from the ground, making everyone worried about their friends. "Everyone, get ready to fight the enemy." Levi shouted as he felt a bad premonition from the darkness in the distance. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1313 One-sided battle

Outside the secret realm, "Huh? What is happening inside?" "Why did that flying mirror turnpletely ck?" "Which participant was seenst in that mirror?" "It is Cain, the son of the assassin sect leader." "And who is he fighting?" "I don''t know. Some young participants from the Zrochester province, I guess?" The onlookers who were keeping track of Cain were a little surprised because the flying mirror that was following Cain was cked out. So, all of a sudden, everyone was attracted to that mirror as they wondered who Cain was fighting before the flying mirror cked out. "Minister, what is happening with that flying mirror?" The leaders of the Xacaster province except for the Assassin sect leader frowned their brows as they asked the old minister about it. "I don''t know." The old man was also surprised at the sight of a cked-out mirror for a moment; however, he casually shrugged as he replied, "Let''s just wait and see as there is no way I can send someone into the secret realm while the contest is going on." ''...'' Everyone was speechless; however, they didn''t say anything since the round is hosted by the minister himself, everything will go as he says. ''That Cain brat is definitely doing something. I pity whoever he was fighting.'' The old ministers pitied the participants who were fighting against Cain as he knew how powerful Cain was and from the mirror ckout, he could tell that Cain definitely didn''t want others to see what he was using. "Also, all young participants have the escape space rings and they could easily escape from the secret realm with a thought." The old minister felt some of the powerful cultivators were whispering to one another. So, he reminded everyone about the escape space rings that were given to all the young participants before entering the secret realm. "Yes, there is nothing to be worried about." "If the young participants were killed even before they could think of escaping the secret realm, then they are not worth grooming for the protection of the human race." "Yeah." Soon, all the powerful cultivators agreed to the old ministers with a righteous look as they looked at the other flying mirrors hoping other participants move towards the ce where Cain was fighting his opponents. Inside the pirs, "You will all die today¡­.Haha." Once all ten pirs rose from the ground, Cain startedughing like a maniac as usual while looking at the young participants. "Th..this is his Cultivator''sw?" Snowstorm and others were shocked when they looked at the huge pirs that rose from the ground. Because, from the range of the cultivator''sw, they could tell that Cain''sw is already at level 10 and it was only a step away from bing a King realm cultivator. "My elemental spirits, there is no one who can defeat as long as the pirs are present around us¡­Haha." Cain shouted at his elemental spirits while letting out his maniacalughter. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, Cain''s seven elemental spirits that were barely standing against the young participants felt their bodies were filled with an insane amount of essence of nature and at the same time, they also felt that they were invincible. "Th..this power¡­I am invincible." "I am invincible." Within a few seconds, all the injuries on the elemental spirits started healing at an incredible speed as they shouted out loud, making the young participants a little fearful. "Everyone, kill them before they get even more powerful." Silver goliath was the first one to snap out of his fear as he shouted at everyone before rushing towards Cain to kill him. "Do you think you are the only one who can increase the strength of others?" As for Cain, he didn''t even bother to look at the iing Silver goliath as he casually dodged his attacks and looked at Paulin while saying those words. "Also, do you think anyone can save you?" Cain had an evil smile on his face as he continued, "Until I cancel my cultivator''sw, no one cane in or go out of this 100 meters radius." "As long as these 10 pirs are standing, no one can do anything. I am a god in this region." Cain flew into the air and looked at the fights that were going on between his elemental spirits and others. ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''What is this? This is apletely one-sided battle.'' With Cain not showing any interest to fight and he was unable to fly to Cain to fight in the mid-air, Silver goliath thought he could help others. However, after seeing around, Silver goliath felt despair for the first time in life during a fight. Before Cain used his ''Pirs of Darkness'', the battle waspletely on Silver goliath''s side; however, right now, it waspletely Cain''s elemental spirits who were dominating the fight. Moreover, those cunning elemental spirits were intentionally not killing or making any severe injuries on their opponents as though they were toying with him. "Damn it¡­let''s use the escape space ring." Finally, Silver goliath understood one thing they were not going to win this one and it is better to just leave the secret realm and lose the contest; instead of losing their lives. "Brother Goliath, King killer and shadow siblings, they can''t go back and we also don''t have any escape space rings." Dark me replied to Silver goliath about their escape rings. Earlier, Cain used Star assassin to steal Snowstorm and others'' escape space rings, which Silver Goliath didn''t know. So, hearing that, he frowned for a moment. "Snowstorm, take my escape space ring and just go escape from here." Silver goliath appeared beside Snowstorm and gave her his escape space to use. "Those who have the escape space ring, just leave from this secret realm and as for others, you know what to do, right?" The aura around Silver goliath changed all of a sudden as his body started increasing from 10 meters to 20 meters in a few seconds. "Brother Silver, no one is going to abandon their brothers and sisters here. Did you forget our oath? Live together and Die together." Snowstorm was the first one to oppose Silver storm''s words as she shouted at Silver goliath. "That''s correct. We are not going to leave your guys in the middle of the fight." "We will abandon our brothers and sisters." . . Soon, those who have the escape space rings quickly backed Snowstorm''s words. Even though King killer and a few others didn''t have the escape space rings, others like Paulin, Neil, Fearless gori have the escape space rings; however, they didn''t want to leave others just like that. "Damn you all. Are you not listening to your team leader?" Silver goliath became furious when they heard those words and shouted at them. "Are you all out of your mind? At least a few of you can survive today and take revenge for those who died today." Silver goliath tried to suppress his anger while trying to talk some sense into them. "But brother goliath, we can''t live with it." Neil shook his head and he was also adamant about not escaping out of their current premonition while leaving others. "Neil, even you? You have a bright future and you are thest to join us. You just have to close your eyes and think of leaving from here." Silver goliath looked at Neil and tried to make him leave from here. Among all, Neil was the only one who had the least rtionship with them as they only met when the vagrant cultivators were making selections to take them as disciples. "Brother Goliath, are you telling me, I am not one of you?" Neil looked at Goliath who was fighting three elemental spirits on his own and tried to help him while asking that. "No¡­I didn''t mean that." Silver goliath shook his head as he really didn''t mean that; however, he didn''t have the time to exin himself as he was pushed back by an elemental spirit. "p p" As there was aplete mess on the ground, Cain was enjoying himself seeing that mess as he pped. "I am very much impressed with your bondage. So, let me tell you something." After pping for a moment, Cain flew down a little as he continued saying, "Actually, you can''t use the escape space ring in my cultivator''sw. So, don''t worry, today, everyone is going to die¡­Haha." Cain ended his speech with a chuckle as he waved his hands as though he was asking them to continue what they were doing. "Let''s start toying with them again." Just like Cain, the elemental spirits also enjoy toying with their targets. So, they were excited as they rushed towards the participants. ''Boom'' However, just as they started fighting, a huge explosion urred in the distance as three ck pirs were destroyed with a loud ''Boom''. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1314 Arrival of Ajax

Chapter 1314 Arrival of Ajax

"These pirs are so strong. I have to summon my king realm spirit beast to break them." An annoying voice could be heard from the ck smoke released from destroying the pirs. ''What? How can some break my Pirs of darkness?'' Cain was shocked when he saw his Pirs of darkness were destroyed and he fell to the ground because he was severely injured with the destruction of the ck pirs. "The elemental spirits¡­ are bing weak. Let''s kill them." How could the personal disciples of the Vagrant cultivators not recognize the voice from the ck smoke? However, Silver goliath was more focused on killing Cain and the elemental spirits. So, he asked others to take care of the elemental spirits while he rushed towards Cain. "Yes, Brother Goliath." Everyone was excited to hear the voice from the ck smoke; however, they knew they had work to do. So, they followed Silver goliath''s words and started fighting the elemental spirits. ''Screech'' In the next second, a loud screech resounded in the surroundings as a huge eagle came out of it with a young man standing on its back. The young man was none other than Ajax and the huge eagle was one of the devourer eagle kings that acknowledged him as its master. "What is taking you so long? Everyone has already gathered except for our teams." Ajax didn''t participate in the fight as he saw Silver goliath and others fight Cain and his elemental spirits. Instead, he wasining about why they were taking so much time in eliminating their targets. That''s right! The personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators had already decided to not kill any of the participants in the contest and give enough time to use the escape space ring. Of course, if they feel someone was evil and dangerous, they would not mind killing them, as it waspletely legal in killing others in this contest. "Even though he is solo, he is very powerful and has some really good skills." Silver goliath removed the escape space from Cain''s finger as he lifted Cain''s body and replied to Ajax. "Yeah..yeah. I can tell he is strong from the pirs." Ajax looked at Cain and nodded his head while pointing at the destroyed pirs in the distance. Earlier, when Ajax and others were trying to enter the area surrounded by the ck pirs, they tried to destroy them; however, no skill or attack worked, making everyone almost give up on it. However, they were worried if some of their friends were stuck inside and wanted to try their best in destroying the pirs. Finally, after wasting a few minutes trying to st the pirs, Ajax didn''t want to waste any more time. So, he directly summoned one of the least powerful devourer eagle kings from Prophis ''space realm'', before asking it to attack. Even though the young participants behind Ajax were shocked, they recalled Ajax''s identity and they were no longer shocked; instead, another thing shocked them. And it was the pirs. Even the king realm spirit beast like devourer eagle king took quite a while to destroy three of them. So, Ajax nodded his head when he heard Silver goliath mention the strength of Cain. "Die" "Your summoning master is already in our hands." As Ajax and Silver goliath were talking, Snowstorm and others easily killed the seven elemental spirits without wasting any time. Even though Star assassin tried to hide in a shadow to escape its death, it was too slow and got killed by Paulin who was keeping a close eye on it. "I will go and check on King killer and others." Since the situation was under control, Ajax decided to check King Killer and the shadow siblings'' condition as they were currently unconscious. There was no need for Silver goliath or others to say something about their condition when Ajax could tell that they were injured with a single look. "Go" Silver goliath nodded his head as he wanted to toy with Cain for a while which was giving back whatever Cain wanted to give them. "Haha" However, Cain startedughing even when he was caught by Silver goliath. Currently, he waspletely covered in blood and his teeth were broken, eyes were swollen, bones were smashed but still, he wasughing. ''Is he a psycho or what?'' With Cain''s loudughter, everyone felt a slight shiver as they concluded that Cain was a psycho. Who wouldugh like that when they were in such a pitiful condition? This was the reason they had when they concluded him as a psycho. "Brother Goliath, just finish him up." Ajax stopped in his steps as he turned to look at Cain and directly said to Silver goliath in a calm tone. Since they have already decided to kill Cain to avoid future troubles, then why waste more time talking with such a crazy b*astard? "Yes." ''Kacha'' Silver goliath nodded his head as he held Cain''s in his fists and directly crushed it without any hesitation. "Finally, we got that crazy b*astard." "I thought we were going to die today." "It is all thanks to our brothers who destroyed the ck pirs." "By the way, Ajax got a king realm spirit beast? It''s amazing." After the death of Cain, the young participants spoke out whatever came to their mind because they really thought they were going to die today. "We didn''t do anything. It was Ajax''s eagle that broke three pirs which allowed us to enter this region." Levi shook his head as he gave the entire credit to Ajax and his spirit beast as he walked towards King killer and the shadow siblings. "How are they, Ajax?" Levi learned that Ajax became a Sacred healer and asked about King killer and others'' conditions. Even though Sacred Healers were rare in Zrochester province, they were not that rare in Ylercester province and as for Xacaster province, they were not all rare. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1315 Final part of the third round

Nevertheless, what Levi and others didn''t know was that Ajax was a Sacred Astral Healer. In the entire Purple stone, there might not be another Sacred Astral Healer. "They are alright. Just need some rest." Ajax replied to Levi as he sent a few units of Sacred Astral Energy into their bodies to increase the speed at which they recover. "Good." Silver goliath walked towards Ajax and Levi as he looked around to check everyone before saying, "Looks like our team is fully gathered, right?" "Yes." Levi nodded his head as their group of 19 young participants had finally gathered at one ce. "So, what''s next?" Dark me was a little tired as Paulin''s temporary boost finally disappeared as he asked about their next step. Not only Dark me, everyone who received the temporary boost from Paulin along with Paulin himself werepletely exhausted. In their current condition, it would be very easy for others to defeat them. "We will of course find a good ce to rest until everyone recovers their strength. If someonees looking for us, the ten of us can fight while you nine can continue to take rest without worrying about anything." Levi replied with a calm look on his face. "With Brother Levi and Ajax''s king realm spirit beast, we can rest without worrying about anything." Dark me excitedly replied as he moved close to the huge devourer eagle king and tried to touch it. ''Screech'' However, a single screech was enough to scare the shit out of Dark me. "Yes. Let''s wait until everyone gets their strength back." Ajax and others also nodded their heads as they agreed with Levi. Soon, they found a good ce to rest while the devourer eagle king stood guard for them. With a king realm spirit beast, Ajax''s team was practically avoided by everyone as they could peacefully rest. ¡­.. ''Damn you¡­bastards.'' ''You killed my elemental spirits.'' ''You injured me to the point where I have to use the items bestowed by the ancestor.'' ''Now, other than healing my injuries while hiding in this pir, I can''t kill anyone in this round anymore.'' In one of the seven pirs summoned by Cain, there was a human silhouette inside it that was barely visible to anyone. Even if someone inspected it carefully, they would just think that it was some kind of pattern inside the pir; however, no one would guess that it was a human. To be more specific, it was Cain, the one whose neck got crushed by Silver goliath earlier. Surprisingly, he was still alive; however, judging from his current situation, he was barely hanging onto his life. Nevertheless, he had remembered everyone''s face as he would be taking his revenge once he recovered his strength. ''Also, I need to buy elemental spirits for my next round in the contest; otherwise, it will be difficult for me to win the contest with those monsters who have higher chances of getting good ranking.'' Cain was trying his best to suppress his anger as he started nning what he had to do for the next two rounds. As for the current, Cain knew he would be qualifying just by hiding in the pir. ¡­ Outside the secret realm. "What? A young participant has a king realm spirit beast?" "How did he manage to tame such a powerful spirit beast with his cultivation of level 2 elite general?" "Another important thing is, the son of the assassin sect leader is dead." "But why is he still so calm?" The strong cultivators who were looking at the flying mirrors were shocked by some scenes in a short duration of time. The thing is, as soon as Ajax''s devouring eagle king destroyed three ck pirs, the flying mirrors were able to project what was happening at the ce, making everyone see what happened inside. First, Ajax had a king realm spirit beast and the second one was Cain got killed by someone. As for the third thing, Oliver, the sect leader of the assassin sect didn''t show any emotion as though Cain was not his son, making everyone around him confused. However, no one dared to mention anything and behaved as nothing happened. ''Damn these pests. They killed all his elemental spirits and injured him to the point where he had to use the special treasure bestowed by the ancestor.'' Even though Oliver didn''t show any emotion on his face, he was angry but he knew that Cain was still alive; otherwise, he would have already turned the huge stage upside down. ''The youngsters from the Zrochester province are bing more and more powerful. Is it because of the fallen remains of the Emperor realm cultivator from the greater world?'' Oliver knew something that only a few of the strongest cultivators in the Purple stone world knew and he connected the rise of the Zrochester province with that event that happened a few centuries back. ''Looks like I need to inform the Ancestor about it.'' Oliver noted it down in his head as he would inform Ancestor about his doubts after he returned to the sect. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and another couple of hours passed by in the secret realm. "Congrattions to all the participants for surviving until now." All of a sudden, all the young participants who were still in the secret realm heard the familiar voice belonging to the old minister. "What?" "The contest ising to an end already?" "Finally, we did it." "Yeah. Even if we lost in the fourth round, we are officially in the top 100 in the Purple stone world." As soon as they heard the old minister''s voice, all the young participants became excited as they started cheering among themselves, thinking that they had finally made it into the top 100. However, the old minister''s next words made all their excitement disappear into thin air. "The final part of the third round finally begins now and all the participants will see the location of other participants from now on." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1316 Princess Daphne’s followers

Chapter 1316 Princess Daphne''s followers

''What? We can see the other participants from now on?'' The participants who survived until now were a little disappointed when they found out the round was still not finished; however, they were satisfied with the new rule added to the round. Currently, there were around 1000 participants in the secret realm and the thing they hated was to search for their opponents in such a big secret realm. Moreover, these 1000 participants were very strong to make it until now and they were more than eager to find other participants to eliminate them. "But, how can we see other participants?" Almost all participants were puzzled as they didn''t know how they could find others. "The escape space rings will project the entire map of the secret realm and show all the young participants in it." As they were wondering about it, the old minister'' voice once again resounded in the entire secret realm, making the participants curiously look at the escape space rings on their fingers. ''Swoosh'' Just as they thought about the map while looking at the space ring, a small projection appeared above the ring with nearly 1000 yellow dots on it. "Let''s go, everyone. There is a small group of three nearby." "There are two participants close to us. Let''s finish them." "Let''s take care of these five participants." Right now, among these 1000 young participants, everyone had already formed their own teams ranging from 20 to 100 men in a single team. So, most of them decided to eliminate the group that had fewer participants than their own team. Once again, the third round of the contest became exciting as battles between groups started all over the secret realm. "What do we do now? Shall we wait or actively find others?" "No. For now, let''s rest. Since the terrain is in our favour, those who want toe for us will have no chance to win against us." However, all teams were not in a rush to eliminate others. There were some teams simr to Ajax that were thinking about their current condition, before making a move. Ajax''s team could be considered as a small team because there were only 19 participants and it would not take much time for other teams with more than 20 participants to look for them. So, they decided to rest in a ce where the terrains worked in their favour. Nevertheless, they were not worried much about others because of the king realm spirit beast. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and the battles became more and more intense as the young participants were getting eliminated. There were a few participants who were unlucky and got killed before they could use the escape space ring. "Why is no one attacking us?" Lewis and Jeff who wanted some action were bored when there were no participants who came to attack them. "Yeah. Even though the secret realm is big, with the help of the map, someone should have attacked us by now." Silver goliath and Snowstorm frowned as they opened the map from the space ring to check for the number of participants remaining in the secret realm. "What? Only 200?" They were shocked when they saw the number of dots left on the projection. It''s been only 20 minutes and 800 of them were eliminated. So, of course, they were shocked. "Also, these three dots must be a team. They are in the same ce from the beginning. Looks like they must be a good team." What caught Levi'' eyes was the three-men team near to their position. They were staying in that ce for the entire time, making Levi a little surprised. "Anyway, who cares. The contest is about to end. So, let''s just wait until the participants'' countes down to 100." Ajax replied as hezily sat down as he said those words. ording to the old man, the third round waspleted when there were only 100 participants left in the secret realm. So, they just have to wait for a while and they would be qualified to round four without doing anything. ¡­ Outside the secret realm, "Emmie and Darius are strong individually and partially invincible below the King realm if they formed a team." "Yeah. I thought they would add Ronnie into their team; however, from the looks of it, Ronnie ns to fight solo." "Diego Flerton''s team lost half of their men against Dennis Slefort''s team." "Ralphy Erysall''s left is left with 15 which is the same number of participants as Diego''s team." "Matine Brifftin''s team is quite strong as they have the highest participants left in their teampared to other royal families." "Eric Vlesset has the second-highest number of participants." The powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage were looking at the flying mirror as they analyzed the battle prowess of each team. First, they focused on the children of the protectors, before looking at the teams led by the five royal families. "Looks like Draton family''s daughter is also leading a good team." All of a sudden, the old minister who was hosting the third round spoke something that made everyone raise their brows. Everyone knew that Princess Daphne was not leading the team; however, they were also not sure about the team leader as everyone was making decisions in unison, making it a little harder for them to pinpoint the leader. "Yes, minister. Princess Daphne has gathered some good followers. In the future, she can rule the Zrochester province without any problems." Nevertheless, when they heard the old minister''s words, they nodded their heads supporting his decision. Because they knew that Princess Daphne from Draton kingdom is engaged to Diego Flerton from Flerton kingdom. So, of course, the old minister would praise the future daughter-inw of the Flerton kingdom. "Haha" Hearing that, King Stephen revealed heartfulughter; however, deep down, he was asking his master, ''Master, when will my training to be the emperor of the world begins?'' ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1317 Bulk recruitment

Chapter 1317 Bulk recruitment

Even though his daughter was praised, King Stephen had only thought about his own future and goal, which was to be the emperor of the Purple stone world. ''Just wait for some time. After this contest, we will meet other guardians of the Purple stone town. Let''s hope they didn''t choose any disciples; otherwise, it will make thingsplicated for us.'' His master''s voice replied before asking him to stay patient. ''But, master, I don''t want to waste my time watching this contest.'' However, King Stephen retorted back at his master and acted like he was impatient. ''Idiot. If those guardians are alive, they wille here to watch the contest and try to pick some participants as their servants. By waiting here, we will be saving a lot of time in moving between the provinces to search for them.'' The voice in King Stephen''s head was furious as it cursed him while exining everything. ''Oh. Sorry, master. I was just anxious because I have a bad premonition regarding this contest.'' King Stephen didn''t mind apologizing to the voice in his head which he considered as his master and helped about his bad premonition. ''If you act like this again. I will select that young kid named Ajax as I am very confident that he is a much better candidate than you to be the Emperor of the purple stone.'' The voice in King Stephen''s head warned him to behave himself in the future. ''What?'' King Stephen, who was putting a calm look on his face until now, nearly cursed out loud when he heard his master''s words; however, he managed to suppress it in time. ''Damn this bastard. How can he be the suitable candidate to be an Emperor?'' Looking at Ajax in one of the flying mirrors, King Stephen cursed him as he clenched his fists. Because in his eyes, how could a young man less than twenty years oldpete with him for the position of the emperor of the Purple stone world? Nevertheless, other than ring at him, King Stephen could do nothing to Ajax right now. ... In the secret realm. "Congrattions to all the participants who were still surviving in the secret realm. The third round of the contest officially ends here." All of a sudden, the old minister announced the end of the third round when the participants in the secret realm reached 100. "Yeah. We did it. We are finally in the top 100." A few participants who survived until now by joining the strong teams were excited to hear the minister''s voice as they cheered for themselves. However, the strong participants like Emmie, Darius and others, were calm and didn''t think much about qualifying for the third round because they were confident in qualifying the round from the beginning. "The true fighting starts from the next rounds." "Yeah. The fourth round would be individual battles between the participants, right?" "Yeah. If we are unlucky, our first individual battle will be with a summoner." "If that happens, we will never win." "Yeah. The world is so unfair." ''Swoosh'' One after another participants were teleported out of the secret realm automatically as they muttered about the fourth round. Nevertheless, the fourth and fifth rounds are for those young geniuses who are going to be the top cultivators of the Purple stone world in the future. So, most of them were satisfied with entering the top 100. ''Country bumkpins'' The realm leaders of the royal families mocked the weakest members of their teams when they heard their words. The young geniuses from the royal families did not form teamsprising members from only their families; instead, they gave the opportunity to other participants from other families and sects to join. Because, the royal families, they need more followers who would be strong and loyal to them forever and these young geniuses knew that they just need to help them a little now. Later, they would staypletely loyal to them. "Congrattions to all the participants. You can go and rest for tonight." Once the participants came out of the secret realm, the old minister once again congratted them as he continued, "Thest two rounds of the contest will be held tomorrow itself. So, make sure you rest properly because there will be no break between the contests." "What?" "Two rounds in a single day?" "So, the contest is going to end tomorrow?" All the participants were surprised for a moment before gettinig surprised because everyone was waiting for the final rounds. Thest two rounds were about individual fights and all the onlookers could see the individual battle prowess of the participants. "As for those who lost in the third round, there is no need to worry about anything because many of you have caught the eye of the top cultivators from the various families and sects." The old minister''s voice continued, "So, please stand aside as you will be recruited by the powerful cultivators in a moment." "What? Excellent." Even though 20-30 percent of the participants failed to escape the secret realm with their lives intact, the remaining ones were excited when they heard the old man''s words. "Thank you, sir minister." Without any hesitation, they all bowed to the old man and other powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage as they thanked them. "There is no need to thank us. You are the future of the Purple stone world." "Even if some of you are not selected by us, you just have to work hard as our families and sects will be happy to take you in after proving yourself." "Actually, those who were not selected by any family or sect, you can join my assassin sect." All of a sudden, Oliver stood up and said something that gave all the young participants a lot of hope as they were not worried about not gettinig selected by any of the families and the sects. "Thank you, sect leader Oliver." Everyone thanked him for his bulk recruitment offer. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1318 Recruitment from other worlds

Chapter 1318 Recruitment from other worlds

''Huh?'' However, the powerful cultivators raised their brows after hearing the assassin sect''s recruitment offer because they felt something was off about it. Actually, recruiting a lot of youngsters was not a problem; however, most of the sects or families didn''t want to recruit a lot of junk as it would be troublesome to train them and the cultivation resources needed for everyone would be a lot. Nevertheless, when they thought about what kind of organization the assassin sect was, they were no longer bothered. ''The assassin sect was just collecting more servants and ves.'' Looking at the excited youngsters, the powerful cultivators could not help but take pity on them. ... In one of the halls of the resting quarters that were allocated for the Zrochester province. "Everyone, you did great today." Elek and Seward were proud of the youngsters in front of them as they praised them. "Our masters helped us be what we are today." "It''s all thanks to you and other vagrant cultivators." The personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators thanked Seward, Elek and the rest of the vagrant cultivators for their teachings and training. "Of course, Ajax also helped us in the secret realm; otherwise, we would have been killed by that b*stard." Dark me and others who were stuck inside the barrier made up of ''Pirs of darkness'' didn''t forget to mention Ajax. If not for Ajax''s spirit beast, they would have been really killed by Cain. So, it was only right to thank him in front of everyone. "Yes." Everyone, including the two vagrant cultivators, nodded their heads, agreeing to Dark me''s words. "Haha¡­it''s nothing." Ajax rubbed the back of his head as he modestly replied to them. "How can it be nothing? You have a King realm spirit beast and you can easily defeat us, the vagrant cultivators with your contracted spirit beast." Seward shook his head with a bitter look on his face. "Yes. Even though we are strongest in the Zrochester province, we are yet to reach the King realm." Elek backed Seward''s words while looking at Ajax with an envious look on his face. "Stop joking, Elder Seward and Elder Elek. Even if you are yet to reach the King realm, you can easily defeat my king realm spirit beast." Ajax shook his head as he said some words from the bottom of his words. Ajax was very sure that there was a particr reason for why the vagrant cultivators were not choosing to break through into the king realm. At the same time, he was very sure that they could easily kill low-level king realm beings without much difficulty and could fight head to head against mid-level king realm cultivators. ''...'' Hearing those words, both Elder Seward and Elder Elek remained speechless for some time. "By the way, where did you tame it, Ajax?" Seward asked Ajax with a curious look because he was sure that there were no devourer eagle kings in the Zrochester province. Moreover, ording to what he knows about the devourer eagle kings, they always stay in groups led by a devourer eagle king. "It was a gift from my master forpleting one of the missions." Ajax gave a spontaneous reply which made everyone around him even more envious. No one doubted that Ajax was lying as theypletely believed Ajax had a powerful master who was capable of gifting away king realm spirit beasts. "Ajax, if your master has any missions in the future with such lucrative rewards, please let me join you in the mission." "I will join too if it is okay with you." All the youngsters wanted to go on the missions with Ajax to get some good rewards. "Yeah. I want a King realm spirit beast." What''s more, even Elek was interested in the King realm spirit beasts; however, with a punch from Seward, Elek changed his sentence, "Kids, just focus on the contest and you will gain good rewards that will help you increase your cultivation." "That''s right! Once you be the King realm cultivator, you will even get offers from other human worlds who recruit you into their organization." Seward nodded his head as he exined something that made all the youngsters surprised, including Ajax. "What? Recruitment from other worlds?" Ajax raised his brows as Levi and others asked more about it. "The thing is, when you be a King realm cultivator with a rare or powerful cultivator''s soul, the human organizations from other worlds will recruit you. After that, you will be given cultivation resources depending on the contribution you made for the organization." Seward exined about the recruitment from the other worlds with fine details, making the young cultivators more excited in bing the King realm cultivators. "But, how will those human organizations know about our cultivator''s souls, master?" King Mantis, the personal disciple of Seward, asked his master about it. "I aming to that part now." Seward nodded his head as he was about to say something; however, he was interrupted by Elek. "Seward, why are you telling them everything? Didn''t Brother Rae warn us from saying these things? It is too soon for them to learn these things." "Master, you can''t do this to us." Lewis was annoyed with his master as he seriously shouted at Elek. "Why can''t I do that? You already don''t show respect to me, your master and once you learn everything, you will not even bother to pay attention to this old man." Elek revealed a cunning smile on his face as he replied to Lewis. ''p'' However, in the next second, a huge hand pped Elek''s head as Seward said, "If you continue to put that cunning attitude, you will lose even thatst bit of respect from the young cultivators." "Pfft" All the young cultivators except for Ajax, tried their best to control theirughter because it was not their first time seeing Elder Elek act like that; however, they knew that Elek and Seward were not serious with their words. ''...'' As for Ajax, he was speechless as he didn''t expect the powerful vagrant cultivators of the Zrochester province to have such a side to them. ''Looks like I still didn''t know much about vagrant cultivators.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. "Elder Seward, please continue what you are saying and don''t mind my master." Soon, Lewis urged Seward as he wanted to know more about other worlds and how the organizations from those worlds would recruit them. "Yes, Elder Seward. Are there any teleportation circles in this world that allows us to enter the other worlds?" Even though most of the young cultivators that reached the elite general realm knew that there were other worlds, they thought it was impossible to travel even if they reached the King realm because their bodies could not withstand the energies in outer space that tear apart the bodies of even king realm cultivators. So, they were also curious about how they were going to travel to other worlds. "That''s right! There are teleportation circles in this world; however, not a single one of them are in the control of the cultivators from the Purple stone world." Seward nodded his head as he continued, "Let me answer your first question about how they find out about the cultivators with unique and powerful cultivators'' souls." While Seward was answering their questions, Elder Elek was looking at his personal disciple Lewis with a serious look as though he was going to eat him alive soon. As for Lewis, even though he saw his master ring at them, he acted like not knowing anything as he listened to Elder Seward. "Almost all the organizations in the other worlds have at least one king realm formation master who was capable of creating a formation linking to a specific world. As long as any beings from that world be a King realm it will try to decipher the cultivator''s soul." "If it was unique or rare or powerful or fits perfectly with their organization, they would send someone to recruit him or her using the same formation which could be considered as Teleportation circle." Seward paused for a moment to see whether the young cultivators were digesting everything he was saying. "Even though the Purple stone world is a normal world belonging to humans, it is a weak normal world and only a few organizations are interested in it. Also, in thest decade, only one person was selected¡­to be specific, only one spirit beast in the entire Purple stone world was recruited by some organization." At the end of his lines, Elder Seward looked at Keshe as he asked, "Isn''t that right, Princess Keshe?" "H..how did you know that, Elder Seward?" Keshe was surprised by Elder Seward''s words. She was not surprised about the recruit, she was surprised at the fact that Elder Seward knew that a spirit beast was recruited and what''s more, judging from his question, she also knew that he knew who was recruited by the otherworldly organization. "What?" "Is that true, Big sister Keshe?" "Who is recruited, Princess Keshe?" Everyone was surprised for a moment as they curiously looked at Keshe before asking her a lot of questions. "Even though we are yet to be King realm cultivators, we are good at gathering intel from all over the Purple stone world." Elder Elek was proud as he replied to Keshe when she asked them how they knew about it. "That''s right! My big brother is recruited 10 years back." ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets.

Chapter 1319 Marketing Strategy

"That''s right! My big brother was recruited 10 years back." Keshe replied with a happy look on her face as she was happy for her big brother. ''What?'' ''Cool'' ''I wonder what realm he has reached by now?'' ''What organization recruited your brother?'' ''Which world that organization belongs to?'' All the youngsters including Ajax were surprised and soon asked Keshe many questions about her big brother. Since Keshe'' big brother was recruited by some orgainzation 10 years back and back then, he was already a King realm spirit beast, so they wondered about his current cultivation. Even though breaking through in the cultivation after reaching the King realm was difficult, the cultivation speed would be much faster for the cultivators if they enter a greater world. So, they were curious about the cultivation of Keshe'' big brother. There was also a small group of young cultivators who were interested about the organization that recruited her brother and which world he went to. "Sorry but I don''t know much about the organization or in which greater world that organization was situated in." Keshe shook her head with a bitter look on her face as she said, "Even my father didn''t know the details about the organization; however, it was an organization that only recruits spirit beasts from various worlds." "Organization made up of spirit beasts? Interesting." In this world, the spirit beast can speak the humannguage and even transform into human form when they reach sufficient cultivation. So, the young cultivators were not much surprised at the fact that the spirit beasts were capable of creating their own organization. "That''s right! The organizations will never let their information out, not even to the families of the being recruited by the orgnaization." Seward already expected that Keshe didn''t know anything about the organization; nevertheless, he wanted to hear that from her. So, once she said that she didn''t know anything, Seward also nodded his head. "Brats, now don''t ask why they keep their information so secretive. Once you are recruited by the organization, you will know about it." Before anyone could ask a question regarding it, Elder Elek looked at Lewis and other personal disciples, before saying that. "..." Lewis knew that his master was specially targeting him when he said that. Nevertheless, he remained silent and didn''t ask anything. "Since we are talking about the other worlds and the recruitment from the organizations in these worlds, let me tell you the cultivation realm after the King realm." Seward looked at everyone''s face as they were digesting everything that they learned so far, while trying to ask more questions from it, Seward spoke once again. "Yes, master." "Yes, Elder Seward. What is that cultivation realm after the King realm?" Everyone except for Ajax asked about it as they were curious about it. "After the King realm, there is an Emperor realm." Sewards didn''t keep them in suspense for much longer as he directly informed them about the next cultivation realm as he continued, "Both the King realm and the Emperor realm divided into three levels, low, mid and high level." "Emperor realm? I want to be an Emperor." "So, how many Emperor realm cultivators are there in the Purple stone world, Elder Seward?" Most of them wished to be an Emperor realm cultivator as they excitedly shouted out loud; however, Ajax asked about the Emperor realm cultivators in the Purple stone world. Even though Ajax had an approximation of how many emperor realm cultivators in the Purple stone world, he wanted a more absolute answer. So that he could know how many trump cards he had to use in fighting the demon invasion. "Th..this¡­I don''t know." Seward was a little embarrassed as he didn''t have an answer for this question. Until now, he was boasting that he knew everything in the Purple stone world; however, he didn''t expect Ajax would ask about the number of emperor realm cultivators in the Purple stone world. "I know there used to be at least six emperor realm cultivators in this Purple stone world." Nevertheless, after thinking for a moment, Seward answered as he continued, saying, "However, I am not sure about them because there was no movement from them in thest 15 years." "Huh?" All the young cultivators became curious as they learned about the number of Emperor realm cultivators in the Purple stone world; however, Elder Seward''sst line made them raise their brows. "What does that mean, Elder Seward?" Lewis asked, "No movement? That means, they disappearedpletely?" "Yes." Elder Seward and Elder Elek nodded their heads as they continued, "The one, who is called as an Emperor of the Purple stone world was also one of these six emperor realm cultivators and the remaining five were called as Guardains of the Purple stone world." "Oh." The young cultivators felt like they understood something as they nodded their heads. "There are many rumours regarding their disappearance." Elder Elek was the one who started exining, "Some say, they abandoned the Purple stone world and entered the other greater worlds to pursue the much higher cultivation realm." "While some say that they fought over the control of the Purple stone world and killed each other. However, no one knows what happened exactly on that day that made them disappearpletey from the Purple stone world." "But, didn''t the old minister say that the Emperor of the Purple stone world ising to the contest tomorrow?" The Flerton family, which was hosting the contest in the Ylercester province, promoted their contest by saying that the ''Emperor of the Purple stone world is attending the contest'', which made the entire Purple stone world upside down. That''s the reason why more and more cultivators from all corners of the Purple stone world rushed towards the contest. "Haha¡­about it. I think it is just a marketing strategy by the Flerton family to attract more audiences to the Ylercester province." Seward replied afterughing a little at the marketing strategy by the Flerton family. ''Huh?'' All the youngsters including Ajax raised their eyebrows as they didn''t understand why would a royal family do such a thing to attract arger audience for the contest. The thing is, all the cultivators in the world were interested in either participating or watching the contest. So, they thought there was no need to do any additional promotion for it. "Even though many cultivators are interested in watching the contest, do you think they would leave all their work just toe here and watch the young cultivators fight each other?" Elder Seward exined more about it as he continued, "The more cultivators enter the Ylercester province, the more revenge will be generated for the Flerton family as they have a lot of stores, inns, cultivation rooms, alchemy rooms and everything." "How much do you think the Flerton family will earn during the contest?" Elder Elek hit Lewis'' head as he asked him to think. "I don''t know." Lewis rubbed his head as he shook his head. "The amount the Flerton family earned during the contest will even make the top sects and families from the Xacaster province jealous." "What? Really?" "Yes. It will be enough for the Flerton family to be very powerful using all the cultivation resources." Soon, they continued to talk more and more as the young cultivators raised questions from time to time as Elder Seward and Elder Elek would exin to them with a patient look on their faces. "So, that''s it for today." Finally, Elder Seward decided to stop with the exnation as he felt they had already learned so many things for today. "Yes. It is enough for today." Elder Elek backed Elder Seward''s words as he continued, "When we are at your age, we are still hunting in the cursed wilderness without knowing about all these things. You are so lucky to have masters like us." Elder Elek was proud of himself when he said those words. "Let''s go and take a rest. The fourth round is going to be tough as we have to fight individual fights." Lewis was the first one to leave from there, without bothering about his master''s words. "Yeah. I am tired from the third round and I need a proper sleep before the fourth round." "Me too." "I will go to sleep too then." Soon, everyone followed Lewis and went back to their ces to rest. "Damn it¡­the young cultivators these days arepletelycking respect towards their masters." Elder Elek could not help butin about his personal disciples'' attitude to Elder Seward. "Haha¡­stop being grumpy, Elek. Let''s go and have a drink." Elder Sewardughed out loud as he went out of the hall with Elder Elek. ¡­. "Everyone, do you have contracted spirit beasts?" After both the elders left, Ajax also returned to his bed to rest while checking his inventory. All of a sudden, he thought of something whn he saw something in the inventory as he asked his friends a question. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1320 Warning

Chapter 1320 Warning

Except for Heavenly raven who uses the white crow as his battle partner and mount, Princess Daphne, who uses the mutated blue crane, Ajax didn''t know much about the spirit beasts owned by the others. And he asked them about their contracted spirit beasts because he had many items that could help the spirit beasts in increasing battle prowess. Of course, he had already used those items on his spirit beasts and they were no longer effective on them; however, it would be different on the spirit beasts that were yet to use such items. "I don''t have much time in forming a contract with many spirit beasts; however, I found a spirit beast that I liked a few years back." "Me too. I have one spirit beasts in my spirit consciousness." ¡­ ¡­ All the young cultivators were a little puzzled; however, they still answered Ajax''s question. "Oh. Everyone got one contracted spirit beast. Good." Ajax nodded his head as he asked for information about their contracted spirit beasts before he gave them the high-grade primitive stones. Even though their contracted spirit beasts were not top-notch, they were not bad either. For cultivators in the Zrochester province, the contracted spirit beasts of the personal disciples of the Vagrant cultivators would make them jealous. "With the help of these high-grade primitive stones, your contracted spirit beasts will awaken the bloodlines with 100 percent purity." Ajax gave brief information about the stones he gave them before going back to his best. ''What?'' ''Our spirit beasts will awaken the bloodline with 100 percent purity?'' Except for Levi, who had some idea about the high-grade primitive stones, everyone was surprised. Even Keshe and Brave got a stone for themselves. Even though they already have pure bloodline and re-cultivated into humans, they wanted to give it a try to see whether they would gain something by using the high-grade primitive stones. Everyone was excited as they used the primitive stones on their contracted spirit beasts before sending them into their spirit consciousness as there was not enough space for all the spirit beasts inside the hall. ''I hope they reach the peak rank 6 by tomorrow morning.'' This was the thought in everyone''s heads because as long as they have a peak rank 6 spirit beasts, their chances of winning in the individual fights of the fourth round will increase. .... Time continued to pass and in a sh, the morning came and the colosseum was filled with a lot of audiences. Even the huge stage that usually has a lot of empty chairs only has six empty chairs today. From this, one could say that all the important and powerful cultivators in the entire Purple stone world have gathered here. As for the six empty chairs, they belong to the Emperor of the Purple stone world and the five guardians of the worlds. "Protector Olek and Protector Erin, when are you nning to set the marriage date for Emmie and Darius?" The king of the Flerton family, who was currently hosting the contest, asked the two protectors with a face full of respect. "The decision is entirely up to them. They can marry whenever they want." "Yeah. They are not small kids anymore and know what decisions they have to make for their future." Both Protector Olek and Protector Erin replied with a slight smile on their faces as though they were not going to interfere with their children''s marriage. "Yeah. They are going to be the important cultivators of the Purple stone world." "You are right, Protectors." Soon, everyone started nodding their heads in reply to their words. For these cultivators, all they wanted was to be in the good books of the protectors. "However, isn''t it bad for your reputation?" From the side, Protector Nade scoffed as though he was dissatisfied about something. "Haha¡­everyone here knows whose reputation is good and whose reputation is bad." Protector Erin scoffed at Protector Nade. "Let''s not talk about all these things here and let''s act like the Protectors of the Purple stone world." Protector Olek stopped both the protectors as he asked Louie Flerton, one of the two kings of the Ylercester province, "I heard young master Diego has an engagement with Princess Daphne from the Zrochester province. So, when are you nning the marriage for them?" As the Protector of the Purple stone world, Olek should not interfere with the internal matters of the world unless it was leading to the destruction of the Purple stone world. However, that doesn''t mean he would not keep track of the events in the world. "I was going to announce the marriage to the entire world after this contest." Louie Flerton nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "Good." The protectors nodded their heads before asking, "Shall we start the fourth round now?" It''s been a while since they arrived and they wanted the fourth round to start soon as they have a lot of things to do now. "Yes, Protectors." Louie Flerton himself stood up from his chair as he nodded his head at the three protectors before walking to the front of the stage. "Looks like everyone is eagerly waiting for the fourth round, right?" Louie Flerton was a middle-aged man with a good build that naturally made him look like a King by personality. Even his words contained the majestic vibes that made the audience show respect to them by instinct. "Yes, your majesty." "We are waiting for the fourth round." The audience shouted out loud with great excitement, making Louie Flertoon greatly satisfied with the response. "All the participants that qualified for the fourth rounde and stand in front of me." Nodding his head, Louie called the 100 young participants as he continued, "Unlike the previous rounds, the fourth and fifth rounds will not have a lifeline where you can quit the round in the middle to save your life." "So, if anyone wants to quit, you can back down without any hesitation because from now on, each fight you will be having with others will be deadly and there is a 99 percent chance that you might lose your lives." Louie didn''t start the fourth round directly as he warned them that they would lose their lives without any chance. In the third round, even though nearly 3000-4000 of the young participants were dead, they had the escape space rings to escape from the secret realm. However, they were not even capable of using the escape space rings with a single thought and died in the hands of their enemies. Other than the ones who were close to the dead participants, no one took pity or felt sorry for them. "..." Hearing Louie Flerton''s words, all 100 young participants remained silent and no one backed down. Even though a few thought to back down, they felt they would be humiliated if they backed down without putting up a fight after reaching the fourth round. "There is no need to feel any humiliation. As long as you are alive, you will be more and more strong. So, don''t bother about others as they will always say something about you." Louie flerton noticed the hesitation in some of the participants for a brief moment as he stressed out the same thing. This time, he even said that backing down is not a bad thing to do when you are not confident in your own strength. Among the 100 young participants, everyone is powerful in the younger generation; however, there were a few monsters like Emmie, Darius, Ronnie, Dennis and others. If they have to fight them individually, then they would definitely not win. "I would like to back down, King Louie." "I will do the same." With the support from King Louie, one after another young participants started giving up in participating in the fourth round. "By the way, this time, the top 100 participants would receive much better rewards than the top 100 from thest contest." King Louie revealed a slight smile on his face as he tempted the young participants with some rewards. "I will back down" "I am already satisfied with the top 100." "I should stay alive to enjoy the rewards; instead of getting killed in the next round." The moment King Louie mentioned the rewards for being in the top 100, a lot of young participants directly backed down. Because they knew that the rewards for the top 100 cultivators in thest time''s contest was already very good and since the rewards for this contest are much better than those rewards, of course, many young participants didn''t hesitate anymore ining out of the contest. "Right choice." King Louie replied with a slight smile on his face; however, in his heart, he scoffed, ''What a bunch of cowards. They were easily swayed by the rewards.'' Actually, King Louie didn''t want to do it; however, the protector made him do it. So, he was furious deep down. ***** A Bonus Chapter for every 100 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1321 Fourth round begins

Chapter 1321 Fourth round begins

Among the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage, the three protectors of the Purple stone world are the strongest beings. So, even though the contest is hosted by the Flerton family, they had to follow some set of rulesid down by them. The reason why the protectors set such a rule to threaten the young participants was to test the courage and confidence of the young participants. For cultivators, courage and confidence are both needed to reach the higher realms in their cultivation journey and if they could not even handle such a simple threat, then it was better for them to eliminate sooner in the contest. ''This will reduce the number of matches which will affect my gambling business.'' King Louie looked at the number of the participants backing down with such a simple warning as his heart ached because his profits from the gambling business will also go down along with it. That''s right! The Flerton family also has the gambling den which allows everyone to put their bets on the individual fights of the fourth round and it was the most profit-making business for him during the contest. Time continued to pass and the number of participants reduced from 100 to 60 after hearing King Louie''s words. "King Louie, looks like no one will back down from the contest anymore. Let''s start the fourth round." After waiting for a while, the protectors gave permission for King Louie to start the fourth round. "Yes, protectors." King Louie nodded his head; however, he cursed the three protectors for making him suffer losses. Nevertheless, he was in no position to show his dissatisfaction as he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "Those who backed can go follow my family''s minister and collect your reward." Hiding his pain under a happy look, King Louie asked the 40 participants who decided to voluntarily leave the contest, to collect the reward. "Thank you, your majesty." The 40 young participants were excited as they respectfully bowed to King Louie before following the old minister to the Flerton family''s mansion. "Now, there are only 60 young participants who are brave and confident in their skills standing in front of me." After the 40 young participants left the colosseum, King Louie said a few words with his majestic charm as he continued, "For a cultivator, both courage and confidence are much needed than anything in their cultivation journey. Without them, even if you have the talent, it will be useless." The young participants listened with serious looks¡­at least they had serious looks on their faces. "I will not waste any more time as our protectors are very busy. Let''s officially start the fourth." King Louie looked at the 60 young participants as though they were the golden ducks that were ready for him to make money. "As you already knew that the fourth round was filled with individual fights, let me tell you a few rules." For any round, there should be some rules; otherwise, the powerful cultivators would make a fuss and me the Flerton family for being unfair while conducting the contest. "Your escape space rings will decide who you will be fighting in the fourth round. In this round, from the 60 young participants, only 15 participants will be qualified for the fifth round." "In the first part of the fourth round, 30 participants will be knocked out and in the second part, 15 more participants will be knocked out." "I can see there are some non-summoners among the 60 participants; however, they will not get any special privileges when fighting against the summoners." "However, for summoners, there is the only rule for the fourth round that they could only summon three of your registered elemental spirits." "Thest rule of the fourth round is, as long as your opponent says ''I lost'', you will refrain from attacking the opponent. In case you still attacked the opponent, you will be eliminated from the contest while imposing others punishments." In a single go, King Louie announced all the rules and regtions of the fourth round of the contest. "So, if you don''t have any doubts, let''s begin the fourth round." Even though King Louie said that he didn''t bother to wait for the young participants to ask something as he looked at one of the ministers working under him. "Swoosh" All of a sudden, the escape space rings in the fingers of the young participants shone with a bright light before releasing a light ray that got paired with another light ray emitted by the escape space ring of another young participant. "Those who got paired by the light rayse together and stand side by side." Once the process had beenpleted, King Louie looked at the 60 young participants and asked them to stand side by side. "Yes, your majesty." Nodding their heads, all young participants stood in pairs. "There will be 30 fighting arenas in the secret realm you entered yesterday. Each pair will be sent to one fighting arena." King Louie waved his hand and third portals opened in front of 30 pairs of the young participants as he asked them to enter the portals. "And finally the fourth round begins officially." In the end, King Louie shouted out loud and the entire colosseum followed him in shouting. ''All the best, everyone.'' ''You will win as long as you go all out against your opponent. So, don''t take too much stress and give your best.'' ''Sister, you need to give up if you feel like your opponent is very strong without any hesitation. Do you understand?'' . . . All the young participants transmitted their voices to their friends who matched with others. ''Looks like we are lucky.'' As for Ajax and others, they heaved a sigh of relief when they didn''t get paired with their friends. ''Maybe the pairing is done based on the provinces.'' This was the only conclusion that Ajax and others came to after checking their opponents. Among the 60 young participants in the fourth round, 22 of them were from the Zrochester province, making a huge fuss among the powerful cultivators from the other provinces. From the 22 participants, 11 of them were paired with the participants from Ylercester province and the other 11 of them were paired with the participants from Xacaster province. ''Yeah. It looks like it.'' Everyone nodded their heads in agreement as they looked at the three masked young men whom they have never met. ''By the way, who are these three young men? They are definitely from the Zrochester province and they even participated in the champion''s contest conducted by the Draton family in our province.'' Lewis and others looked at the three masked young men and instantly recognized they participated in the champion''s contest too. ''They are already powerful in the champion''s contest. I wonder how much they are right now.'' Paulin raised his brows as he was curious about the strength of the three young men from the Zrochester province. ''Anyway, for now, let''s focus on our opponents. Everyone, let''s give our best.'' Even though they knew that some of them would be eliminated in this round, either in the first part or the second part, they decided to give their best. ''Yeah. Goodluck.'' Soon, everyone started jumping into the portals along with their opponents. ''Brother Jason, shall we not meet Ajax even now?'' ''Nope. Elder Baron said not to talk with Ajax until we are out of the contest.'' ''Sigh¡­we are very close to him; however, we can''t let him know about us.'' ''I don''t know why the Elder Baron is opposing us from meeting Ajax though.'' ''You two, for now, let''s focus on our fight. Damon, don''t you want to find your lover? We need to prove ourselves by entering the top 15 before the Elder Baron sends us to that world.'' ''Anyway, we are going to see Brother Ajax today and he will be very happy to see us.'' As for the three masked young men, they are having their own discussion before jumping into the three different portals. They were none other than Jason, Damon and Hector from the Silver orphanage. ¡­.. Once again, the flying mirrors started their duty of projecting what was happening inside the secret realm. However,pared to before, this time, there were only 30 fighting arenas to cover. "I didn''t expect Prince Diego to be paired with Prince Daphne in the first part of the fourth round itself." Almost all the powerful cultivators were surprised that the pairing between Diego and Daphne would happen so soon. "I wonder who will win." "Who else? Of course, Princess Daphne will win." "Shall we bet on the winner then?" As the powerful cultivators, the items they bet would be not some normal items and everyone was interested to see what they were betting. "Everyone, you can use the Gamble den of Flerton family to ce your bets." As for King Louie, he didn''t forget to promote his business even when his son and future daughter-inw were about to fight. Chapter 1322 Putting everything on Ajax’s win

Chapter 1322 Putting everything on Ajax''s win

King Louie was not worried about the fight between his son and princess Daphne, who were engaged in the past. ''It is a piece of cake for Diego to defeat her.'' This was the only thought in his head before focusing on his gambling business. "King Louie, you haven''t changed a single bit." Looking at King Louie, who was promoting his businesses amidst the contest, the three protectors and the other powerful cultivators joked with him. "Haha" Other thanughing a little, King Louie didn''t reply to them; instead, he muttered in his heart, ''You bastards earned a lot in the past contests when you were hosting them and now, you are mocking me if I do the same? Bunch of hypocrites.'' This contest is hosted by one of the royal families in the Purple stone world and it was finally King Louie''s turn to host just like everyone, he wanted to make some money. However, other kings were filled with jealousy because of King Louie''s marketing strategy to use the missing Emperor and the guardians of the Purple stone world to attract everyone''s attention. Nevertheless, on the surface, everyone tried their best to not show any jealousy and acted like they were casually joking. ¡­. At the side, in the gambling den, the bettings on the young participants had opened and those who were waiting in line hurriedly ced their bets before the odds changed. Match 1:- Prince Diego and Princess Daphne (1.1x : 5x). Match 2:- Emmie and Prince Eric (1.1x : 3x) Match 3:- Darius and Prince Ralphy (1.1x : 3x) Match 4:- Ronnie and Silver goliath (1.1x : 5x) . . . Match 30:- Ajax and Prince Dennis (5x : 1.1x) In the gambling den, the odds for the 30 matches were disyed and almost all the young participants from Zrochester province had high odds because their chances of winning against the participants from the other provinces were very low. Even Princess Daphne was given high odds in betting against her match with Prince Diego. "Uncle, shall we go and ce some bets?" Even though Darbaudr asked his uncle, he didn''t wait for any reply from his uncle as he directly went to the gambling den. "Are you nning to ce the bets on young master Ajax?" Uncle Dralf didn''t have to think much on whom his nephew was going to bet. As he rushed after him. "Who else?" With a smug look on his barbarian face, Darbadur replied as he asked, "So, how many spirit stones do you have? Give them all to me and I will return them to you by the end of the day." "Huh? Go away. I am going to ce all my spirit stones on young master Ajax too." Even though it has been only a few days since Uncle Dralf met Ajax, he was sure that Ajax was very strong, not to mention he has a king realm spirit beast. "Sigh" Darbaudr shook his head as he didn''t think his uncle would also ce all his spirit stones on Ajax; instead of lending them to him. Nevertheless, Darbaudr himself had a lot of spirit stones on him. "10 million low-level spirit stones on Ajax." "One high-level spirit stone, 10000 mid-level spirit stones and 10 million low-level spirit stones on Ajax." Without any hesitation, Darbaudr and Uncle Dralf took out their entire savings from their space rings and ced their bets on Ajax. Compared to Darbaudr, Uncle Dralf was even crazier, as he even ced 10000 mid-level along with one high-level spirit stone. "Huh?" The dealer who was taking the bets frowned as he raised his brows and looked at the crazy cultivators who were taking such a huge bet. "Are you sure about your bets?" Nevertheless, since the betting amount was very high, he pulled out the information on the participant that the barbarians were cing their bets. After reading it, he revealed a slight smile on his face as the dealer pointed at the board in the distance and asked whether they were sure about their bets. ''Huh?'' Darbaudr and Uncle Dralf raised their brows as they looked at the board with a heading ''Rules of the fourth round'' On the board, there was a specific rule that the dealer was pointing at. ''No King realm spirit beasts are allowed to be summoned in the fourth round by the participants.'' "Oh. So that''s the reason why the odds of a young master are still high." After reading that specific rule, Darbaudr finally understood the reason why Ajax had 5x returns on his win even with a king realm spirit beast under his control. "I am sure about my bet." Nevertheless, Darbaudr didn''t think much about it because he was fully confident that Ajax was much more powerful than any young cultivator in this world even with the cultivation of level 2 elite general realm. "What? King realm spirit beasts can''t be summoned?" However, Uncle Dralf was not as confident as his nephew anymore and thought for a moment before taking back all the spirit stones and leaving only one million low-level spirit stones. "I will go with one million low-level spirit stones." Uncle Dralf didn''t hesitate with one million low-level spirit stones as he just wanted to test the waters. ''What the¡­'' ''Are they out of their minds or what?'' ''These barbarians are really something. I heard they don''t have much intelligence and now I am seeing it with my own eyes.'' The other cultivators who were looking at the two barbarians could not help but make fun of them. "Sure" The dealer didn''t bother to warn them anymore as he epted their bets. "Uncle Dralf, why don''t you give me the spirit stones. I will give you.." "What? Are you crazy? I know you trust your young master a lot; however, did you not read what that rule says? No king realm spirit beasts." Before Darbaudr could finish his sentence, Uncle Dralf interrupted Darbaudr. "You will not understand even if I exin. Just give me all the spirit stones you have on you right now." Darbuadr had seen Ajax for a while and also seen how fast his cultivation rose along with his crazy battle prowess that could not be exined by logic. However, he didn''t know how to exin everything to his uncle in a short time as the matches between the participants would start anytime now. "..." Uncle Dralf remained silent as he didn''t know what he should do. "Are you giving them or not?" Darbaudr was no longer asking his uncle; instead, it looked more threatening. "Sigh¡­fine. If your young master lost his first match, I will punish you." Shaking his head, Uncle Dralf gave all the spirit stones he had to his nephew. Actually, Uncle Dralf was giving all his spirit stones because Darbaudr was the true owner of those spirit stones because he was the tribe leader of the Battle barbarians. "Haha¡­I know, uncle will not say no to my request." Darbaudr startedughing as he ced his bet on Ajax. ''What the..'' ''The barbarians are crazy.'' ''They are really out of their minds. They have already ced so much bet and now they are even cing 10000 mid-level spirit stones along with a high-level spirit stone.'' ''Where did these battle barbarianse from? Are they that rich?'' Looking at how crazy Darbaudr was in cing such arge number of spirit stones on Ajax''s win, the surrounding cultivators once again mocked them and made fun of them. "Anyway, who cares. The Flerton family is going to earn a huge sum this time." All of a sudden, the match between Ajax and Prince Dennis became the attention among the gamblers. "Come back after your participant wins the match." The dealer was having an ear to ear smile as he gave a receipt made up of beast skin with bet details. "Let''s go, Uncle Dralf." Darbaudr didn''t stay there as he left with his uncle to watch the fight which was about to start. Other than Darbaudr and his uncle, there were others who were willing to take risks and ced bets on the participants who had high odds and fewer chances of winning as it was the quickest way to make the money. Seward and Elek also ced some bets on Ajax and their personal disciples in equal amounts. ¡­. In the first arena, the secret realm. The fight between Prince Diego and Princess Daphne begins. "Princess Daphne, since you are my fiancee, I will give you a handicap and let you attack me first. Also, I will not even dodge your attack andpletely block it with my defensive move." Prince Diego looked at Princess Daphne as he proudly replied to her. "Are you sure about it?" Princess Daphne asked him with a slight smile on her face without any hesitation. "Of course. I am a man of my word." Diego stretched his body as he nodded his head. "Sure; however, if you lose this match, let''s cancel the marriage." Chapter 1323 Special Body Constitution

Chapter 1323 Special Body Constitution

"Sure; however, if you lose this match, let''s cancel the marriage." Princess Daphne didn''t think much before saying something that made not only Prince Diego but everyone who were focusing on their fight through the flying mirrors raise their brows. ''Looks like Princess Daphne doesn''t like Prince Diego and wants to annul the marriage.'' ''If Prince Diego really loses against Princess Daphne and their marriage is cancelled, then Prince Diego will be the biggest loser in the Ylercester province.'' ''Hey¡­watch out what you are saying? Do you think Princess Daphne can win against Prince Diego? Wake up and watch the match with your damn eyes.'' ''Haha¡­why are you getting angry? I am just stating a possibility.'' ''That''s right! If Princess Daphne was not confident in winning against Princess Diego, then why would she wager the bet in front of everyone.'' As usual, the onlookers started whispering when they heard Princess Daphne. ''Damn it¡­this girl.'' King Stephen and King Louie both clenched their fists as they cursed Princess Daphne; however, they didn''t say anything about it. "King Stephen, are you forcing your daughter to marry Prince Diego?" Protector Olek, the protector of the Zrochester province, asked King Stephen in a calm tone; however, anyone could tell that he waspletely displeased with King Stephen. Protector Olek also has a daughter and he didn''t like his daughter to do something she didn''t like. And ording to him, never use the daughters to rise into power. "No. It''s nothing. She has been like that since childhood. She doesn''t want to look weak in front of her future husband." King Stephen hurriedly thought of something and he replied to Protector Olek and other protectors. Nevertheless, everyone sitting on the huge stage didn''t believe his words as they could guess that it was King Stephen who was forcing Princess Daphne into the marriage with Prince Diego. So, his status would be increased and gain a steady footing in the Ylercester province. ... In the first fighting arena. "For that, you need to win against me, Princess Daphne." Prince Diego looked calm on the surface; however, deep down, he cursed, ''This b*tch want to annul the marriage? In her dreams.'' "You promised me in front of the entire Purple stone world. Let''s see whether you keep your promise or not." As for Princess Daphne, the moment she finished her words, she didn''t waste any more time as she rushed towards Princess Diego. ''Torquoise immortal de.'' Princess used the new sword technique she gained from the inheritance of the Crowned turquoise empress. ''Swoosh'' A long turquoise de that looked very thin and sharp appeared in Princess Daphne''s hand. "Even with the handicap, you are not going to win against me, Princess Daphne." Prince Diego was not at all worried as he never thought much about Princess Daphne other than the items promised by her father. However, his ego got hurt when he heard Princess Daphne''s earlier words. So, he decided to go all out while using his defensive cultivation technique. ''Flerton defensive''s technique.'' Prince Diego used the most powerful defensive technique of the Flerton family which would not only give him a good defence but at the same time, the energy from the attack would be added to his body. ''I am going to finish the match with a single attack.'' Prince Diego smirked while looking at Princess Daphne who was rushing towards him with a long sword in her hands. "ng" The turquoise sword in Princess Daphne''s hand touched Prince Diego''s abdomen; however, a metallic sound came out as he revealed an arrogant smile on his face. "Do you think that a simple sword could prate my body?" Prince Diego scoffed at Princess Daphne as he continued, "Not only did you fail your attack, you are even making me powerful by not retracting your weapon." ''As expected of Prince Diego, he must have reached a good level in his family''s defensive technique.'' ''Yeah. I already know that Princess Daphne is not going to make a single scratch on his body.'' ''The cultivators from the Zrochester province are already lucky enough toe here. In this round, they will also get eliminated.'' The onlookers were making thements as they looked at the sword technique failed by Princess Daphne. "Is that so?" However, Princess Daphne didn''t even frown a bit as she looked at Prince Diego with a face full of pity. ''Turquoise empress body, unlock'' She muttered these words where only Prince Diego could hear and when he heard them, he waspletely shocked for a moment. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Princess Daphne''s entire body started glowing with turquoise light. ''What''s happening?'' ''Is that a bloodline?'' ''No. Bloodlines will not make the cultivator''s bodies glow with such a bright and powerful light.'' The onlookers were shocked to see the glowing princess Daphne in the flying mirror as they gave the reasons behind the light; however, no one was sure about it. ''Th..this'' However, it was different for the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage. The moment they saw Princess Daphne was glowing with turquoise light, they stood up as they focused on the flying mirror to confirm what they were seeing was real or not. "It is a special body constitution." Protector Olek shouted out loud when he confirmed that it was a special body constitution. ''Special body constitution?'' Most of the onlookers were confused as they didn''t know what it was; however, when they saw the reactions of the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage, they could guess that it was very powerful and rare. That''s right! A special body constitution helps the cultivator cultivate at a much faster speed and give additional benefits like more battle prowess and rapid healing etch. Also, it was very rare for a normal world and that''s the reason why even Protectors stood up when they saw Princess Daphne awaken the special body constitution. "Congrattions, King Stephen. Your daughter''s future is limitless." "Yes. As long as he breakthroughs into the King realm, she will be recruited by the powerful organizations from the greater worlds for sure." "Congrattions to you too, King Louie. You are getting a daughter inw with a great future." Soon, everyone congratted King Stephen and King Louie with happy smiles; however, they were a little jealous of them because their sons and daughters were not the ones who unlocked the special body constitution. "Haha¡­I know my daughter very well. She will be the top cultivator of the human race." King Stephen was excited as he didn''t expect his daughter to unlock a special body constitution. Soon, his attitude towards his daughter changed as he praised Princess Daphne in front of everyone. "Thank you. It''s heaven''s blessing for the Flerton family." King Louie was also excited as he didn''t expect that a concubine candidate he picked for his son unlocked a special body constitution. So, he thanked everyone for congratting him as he gave the credit to the heavens. ''As long as she gives birth to a son, my Flerton family will rise to power and be the sole powerhouse of the Purple stone world.'' At the same time, King Louie was nning to host the marriage as soon as possible because he knew many things would happen if he dyed the marriage any longer. "By the way, someone is forgetting something, I guess." However, when King Stephen looked at King Louie, he had other thoughts in his head as he suddenly thought of something and reminded everyone of it to everyone. "What is it?" King Louie felt that the look King Stephen currently had waspletely different from the time when he begged him for the marriage between their children. ''Is he nning to cancel the marriage or what?'' This was the thought that came to King Louie''s mind; however, he still waited for King Stephen to say what it was. "If my daughter wins the match, she will cancel the marriage and since she unlocked a special body constitution, I don''t think Prince Diego will be winning against my daughter." While saying that, King Stephen looked proud as he directly showed everyone what his thoughts were. "Don''t tell me, you are cancelling¡­." "King Louie, you are misunderstanding something here. I am not telling that I am not annulling the marriage." Before King Louie could finish his words, King Stephen interrupted his words as he continued, "I am just stating the fact that my daughter always keeps her promise. So, if she wins the match¡­" King Stephen didn''t finish the sentence as everyone knew what King Stephen meant. ''You¡­'' King Louie was angry as he clenched his fists while looking at King Stephen; however, he didn''t want to embarrass himself in front of the entire Purple stone world by fighting King Stephen over the marriage. "Anyway, let''s watch the fight. It will be interesting." Soon, King Stephen sat in his exquisite chair and asked everyone to watch the fight. ''Puchi'' However, just as everyone looked at that flying mirror, they were shocked by what they had seen. Chapter 1324 Black-robed old man

Chapter 1324 ck-robed old man

''Puchi'' Princess Daphne''s turquoise sword broke Prince Diego''s defence and pierced through his abdomen. ''Finally, I can be free.'' There was a slight smile on her face as she muttered these words in Diego''s ear. ''What?'' Prince Diego looked at Princess Daphne with a shocked look in his eyes as he fell to the ground. ''How can I die here?'' This was thest thought in Prince Diego''s head as he still didn''t know why he didn''t think of escaping from the secret realm while he still had the chance. Actually, the thing is, there was a lot of time for Prince Diego to escape from the secret realm after he learned about Princess Daphne''s special body constitution; however, something stopped him. For a few moments, he was in shock that he was not even able to use any of his other skills or techniques to block Princess Daphne''s turquoise sword. ¡­. Outside the secret realm, ''Sh..she killed him just like that? In a single move?'' ''Her special body constitution must be very strong.'' ''But, will she be okay after killing Prince Diego?'' ''I mean, King Louie only has one son and now he is dead. So, I think King Louie will not let her go?'' ''Hey, do you really think King Louie can do something about it? Princess Daphne didn''t break any mistakes. It is Prince Diego''s fault for not even escaping from the secret realm.'' ''Yes. The protectors and other powerful cultivators will try their best in protecting her even if she breaks any rules because of her special body constitution.'' ''Correct. Because of that, Princess Daphne''s future is limitless and everyone would try to be in her good books.'' The scene of Princess Daphne killing Prince Diego caused a huge uproar among the onlookers; however, no one pitied Prince Diego and even supported Princess Daphne. "This devil is cruel and evil. I will kill her." However, King Louie, the father of Prince Diego was furious as he shouted out loud and summoned Princess Daphne out of the secret realm along with the corpse of his son. ''Swoosh'' King Louie knew that it would be difficult to kill Princess Daphne. So, he summoned her close to him, so that he could kill her before anyone could react. ''She might be a genius who unlocked a special body constitution; however, if she is going to die today for killing my son.'' With that thought in his mind, King Louie summoned a Legend grade sword in his hand and shed at Princess Daphne''s neck whose body was no longer glowing with turquoise light. Without a doubt, Princess Daphne will die as long as the sword touches her; however, currently she is very weak and barely standing on her feet. ''No'' The three protectors were shocked by the sudden actions of King Louie and even if they moved faster, they could not reach Princess Daphne in time, which King Louie, obviously knows. Because the secret realm is owned by King Louie himself, he could pull anyone out of the secret realm whenever he wanted. Even though he regretted not pulling his son out when he saw Princess Daphne''s special body constitution, King Louie didn''t think that Princess Daphne would really kill his son and her future husband. Nevertheless, he was not going to spare her and wanted to kill her before others stop him from doing that. ''Damn it..'' Among all the powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage, King Stephen was the one very frustrated right now. Even though he never cared or bothered much about his daughter, finally she unlocked a special body constitution which he could use to his advantage to be the most powerful cultivator in the Purple stone world. ''Swoosh'' ''ng'' "Who are you calling evil?" However, before King Louie''s sword could reach Princess Daphne, a silhouette appeared in front of Princess Daphne as he stopped the iing sword with his two fingers. At the same time, he said a single line that made everyone standing on the huge stage feel a shiver in their spines. "Who are you?" King Louie''s eyes turnedpletely red as he looked at the old man standing in front of him and asked in a serious tone. King Louie knew that the old man in front of him was very strong because even the protectors were not able to react to what he was going to do to Princess Daphne; however, this old man appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, he stopped his legend grade sword just with his fingers. So, King Louie could tell that he was very powerful. More powerful than anyone standing on the huge stage. "Who am I? I will tell you that in a while; however, why don''t you tell me what you are doing right now?" The old man was wearing ck robes and his face was covered by a mask that was even blocking the powerful cultivators to see through the face of the old man. Another important thing was, no one was able to gauge the strength of the old man. So, no one made a move and waited for what that old man was nning to do. ''Who is he? He must be very powerful.'' ''Since he is protecting Princess Daphne, he must be from the Draton family, right?'' ''I don''t think so. He must be someone who had taken interest in Princess Daphne because of her special body constitution.'' As for the onlookers, they had their own theories behind the origins of the old man that was protecting Princess Daphne. "Sir, she killed my son in cold blood. I am just taking revenge." King Louie was furious with how arrogant the old man was; however, he felt weak in front of the old man. So, he tried to defend himself and asked, "If you please move aside, the Flerton family will owe you a favour." "Killed you son in cold blood? Revenge? My foot." The old man scoffed at King Louie''s words as he released the legend grade sword from his fingers. ''Swoosh'' The moment he released the sword, itpletely turned into powder, making the other powerful cultivators greatly shocked. "In the contest, killing is not breaking any rules. So, stop bullshitting as there is no need for you to use big words like revenge." The old man walked closer to King Louie and lightly tapped on King Louie''s chest, "For trying to kill the future of the human race, your punishment will be¡­.your cultivation." ''Kacha'' As soon as the old man finished his words, there was a crisp sound from King Louie''s chest. "Noo" All of a sudden, King Louie fell to his knees as he shouted out loud. "Why¡­why¡­why¡­ I am just trying to take my revenge." Amidst the shocking gazes of everyone, King Louie started shouting like crazy and eventually, he became a lunatic. "Th..this is¡­" Everyone felt that the punishment King Louie received from the old man was very huge as they felt a bad premonition in his heart. .. ''This presence¡­this presence¡­this is definitely that bastard.'' As everyone stood in their ces without saying anything, there was a voice in King Stephen''s head that continuously shouted. ''What? Do you know him?'' King Stephen was also shocked and just when he was thinking of rushing towards his daughter to show how worried he was, he heard the continuous ranting of his master in his head. ''Let''s talk after that bastard left. If he finds me here, he is going to kill you.'' However, the voice quickly suppressed its anxiousness and informed King Stephen that they should talk about the old manter. Because the voice feared that the old man would sense the presence of the voice in King Stephen''s head. So, the voice started being careful. ''Okay.'' King Stephen had never seen his master being so anxious before. Moreover, he didn''t want to die without knowing how in the hands of the old man. So, he tried to calm himself as he rushed towards his daughter. "Daphne, are you okay?" Looking at the pale face of Princess Daphne, King Stephen worried asked while trying to support her body. "You¡­ move away from me." Currently, Princess Daphne might be weak; however, she hated her father for all the things he did to her in the past. So, she tried her best to look strong and asked King Stephen to move away from her. "It''s me¡­your father." King Stephen was embarrassed for a moment when he heard those words; however, he acted like Princess Daphne was under the side effects of using her special body constitution. "It''s enough. Move away from her." This time, Princess Daphne didn''t have the strength to shout at her father; however, the old man waved his hand, making King Stephen move away from Princess Daphne. "I am her¡­" "Don''t talk. You have no right." The old man scoffed at King Stephen before letting Daphne sit in a chair while he settled in one of the chairs belonging to the guardians of the Purple stone world. ''You¡­'' King Stephen was angry at the old man; however, when he thought about his master''s words, he controlled his anger and tried to say something. ''I am sealing your mouth. Don''t talk.'' Suddenly, his master''s voice appeared for a brief moment before disappearing. After that, King Stephen was unable to talk even if he wanted to talk. ''Damn it.'' Other than cursing, King Stephen stood in his ce without doing anything. "Master, can you please tell us your name?" All of a sudden, Protector Erin asked the old man while guessing the origins of the old man. Chapter 1325 Protector of Skies

Chapter 1325 Protector of Skies

The ck-robed old man was more powerful than them and after seeing the chair that the old man chose to sit on, most of them got the idea of his identity. However, they have never been the guardians of the Purple stone world personally. So, Protector Erin asked the old man''s name with a face full of respect. The rest of the powerful cultivators also looked at the old man with faces full of respect, while trying to figure out his identity. "Protector Olek greets the guardian of the Purple stone world ''Protector of skies''." Before the ck-robed old man could say something, Protector Olek bowed and respectfully greeted him. ''What?'' ''Guardian?'' ''Protector of the skies?'' Almost all of them had already guessed that the ck-robed old man was the guardian after seeing him sit on the guardians'' chair; however, they were still surprised. "We greet the Protector of the skies." "We greet the guardian." In the next moment, everyone in the colosseum stood up from their seats and bowed to the ck-robed old man. "It''s okay. Everyone sit and enjoy the fights." The old man nodded his head as he asked everyone to sit and watch the tournament. "Also, throw this trash out of this colosseum." He didn''t forget about King Louie and ordered someone to throw him out. "Yes, guardian." One of the ministers of the Flerton kingdom rushed forward and took away King Louie whose eyes lost all his life after the destruction of his spirit consciousness. It took some time for the environment in the colosseum to return to normal; however, it has finally returned and everyone forgot about King Louie and watched the fights on the flying mirror. ''I didn''t want to make an appearance so soon¡­.sigh. But, at the same time, I can''t let that b*stard killing that girl with the special body constitution.'' As for the ck-robed old man, he sighed for making his appearance sooner than he expected; however, when his eyesnded on the unconscious Princess Daphne, who was sitting on the chair beside him, he felt he did the right thing. Currently, the humans in the Purple stone world are much weaker than an average normal world and because of the foolish feud between the sets and families, the purple stone world has already be even weaker. So, as the guardian of the Purple stone world, the ck-robed old man didn''t want a talented youngster to die. ''Even though the world has lost its King realm cultivator, as long as this girl is alive, she will definitely be more powerful and reach a much higher realm than the emperor of the world.'' The ck-robed man was looking forward to the day when Princess Daphne became the most powerful cultivator. ¡­ While thinking that, the old man also started looking at the flying mirror screens one after another to see whether he could find good young cultivators to train. Among the remaining 29 matches, the battle that attracted everyone''s attention was Emmie versus Prince Eric. The battle between the daughter of the Protector and the son of the royal family went on for a few rounds until he made a small cut on Emmie''s face. "You¡­how could you do this to my face?" All of a sudden, Emmie''s entire body waspletely covered in mes as she looked at Prince Eric with rage. ''What the¡­'' Just looking at Emmie made Prince Eric shiver because he could already feel the scorching mes that were burning his soul from a distance of 100 meters. "I am going to kill you today." Until now, Emmie just wanted to test Prince Eric because he was the most powerful cultivator in the young generation in the Xacaster province after Ronnie, the son of the Protector Nade. "I forfeit." However, before Emmie could take a single step forward, Prince Eric clenched the escape space ring around his finger and shouted out loud. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Just as Prince Eric disappeared, Emmie, who waspletely covered in mes, flew past his position, leaving a huge explosion. If he was even a single secondte, he would have received the same fate as that of Prince Diego. ''Woah¡­did Prince Eric forfeit the match just like that?'' ''I never expected the powerful youngest cultivator to forfeit his match against ady?'' ''Idiot¡­didn''t you see how powerful herst attack was? If he didn''t use the escape space ring, he would turn into ashes.'' ''Yeah. I am feeling pity for Darius. In the future, if he angers Emmie, I wonder what will happen to him.'' The onlookers shared their thoughts about the second match of the fourth round. "This b*stard, I am going to kill him no matter what." As for Emmie, she looked at the ce where Prince Eric was standing a moment ago and shouted out loud without showing any control. She didn''t bother about the onlookers and only cared about taking revenge on Prince Eric for making a cut on her beautiful face. ''Protetor Olek, you have to save me.'' As soon as he came out of the secret realm, Prince Eric heaved a sigh of relief; however, when he heard Emmie''s words, he got chills and hurriedly rushed towards Protector Olek. ''Don''t worry. She is not the type to kill other humans unless you make a huge mistake.'' Protector Olek shook his head as he replied, "Also, even if you didn''t forfeit the match, she would have not killed you." "Once Ie out of the secret realm, I will kill you with my own hands." ''...'' Prince Eric looked at the flying mirror where Emmie was moving here and there and became speechless as he thought in his head, ''Are you sure about it? I don''t think she will let me go that easily.'' "Protector Olek, Emmie didn''t get any of your qualities." Protector Erin, the closest friend to Protector Olek, joked at him while looking at Emmie, who was still fuming with anger for the simple cut on her cheek. "Stop joking and watch the other matches quietly." Protector Olek was a little embarrassed by Emmie''s actions as he scoffed at Protector Erin. "This girl is good. She can be the guardian of the Purple stone world." All of a sudden, the ck-robed old manmented on Emmie, making all the protector Olek reveal an excited smile on his face. Earlier, Protector Olek recognized the ck-robed old man because he had already met him a couple of times in the past; however, at that time, he didn''t think that the old man was the guardian. Instead, he thought that the old man was someone from the greater human world who came to the Purple stone world to take some young cultivators as his disciples. So, when he heard thepliments from the old man, Protector Olek felt that his daughter might be the disciple of the guardian. ''Among all the guardians of the world, Protector of the skies is the most righteous one and closest one to the emperor of the Purple stone world. If Emmie bes his disciple, then her future will be limitless.'' Even though her future could not bepared to Princess Daphne who unlocked a special body constitution, as long as the guardian guides his daughter, he would be happy. ¡­.. "Darius versus Prince Ralphy" The fight between Protector Erin''s son and the first prince of the Erystell family was not at all intense. Dariuspletely overwhelmed Prince Ralphy with his powerful attacks; however, he was not arrogant and even guided Prince Ralphy amidst the fight. "Brother Darius, you are truly a kind-hearted cultivator from the rumours." After a few minutes, Prince Ralphy bowed to Darius as he continued saying, "Today, I learned so much from you and I can dly ept my defeat." Prince Ralphy knew when to back down as he politely replied to Darius and admitted his defeat. "It''s nothing. Let''s fight again in the future." Darius also bowed to Prince Ralphy with a slight smile on his face. ¡­.. "Protector Erin, your son is too kind-hearted which is not good." The father of Prince Ralphy, King Vincent didn''t like the defeat of his son as he muttered to Protector Erin in a polite tone. "I never taught him to be kind. For a cultivator, he needs to follow his heart and he likes to be kind to fellow humans." Protector Erin could sense that King Vincent was not as mature as his son Prince Ralphy. Nevertheless, he shook his head and didn''t bother to argue much with someone like that. "Protector Erin is correct. One must follow his heart." The ck-robed old man nodded his head as he continued, "Even though being kind to others seems like a weakness, it is actually a strength. You must follow it sometimes and you will be understood." Thest sentence of ''Protector of the skies'' contained a hint of mockery to King Vincent and others who agreed with him earlier. ... Next match, Ajax versus Prince Dennis. ¡­ Chapter 1326 Cultivator’s law:- Fire Burst

Chapter 1326 Cultivator''sw:- Fire Burst

In the fighting arena number 30. "What the hell? How did you reach the fourth round with such pitiful cultivation?" Prince Dennis looked at Ajax as he mocked him for his cultivation. Currently, Ajax has the cultivation of level 2 elite general realm. To his age, Ajax could be considered as the youngest cultivator to achieve such a cultivation realm in the Purple stone world. However, they didn''t know Ajax''s exact age other than the fact he was around 18 years old. ''Does he have any secret trump card? Or is he faking his cultivation?'' Even the peak elite general realm participants were eliminated in the earlier rounds; however, Ajax made it to the fourth round. So, Prince Dennis doubted the authenticity of the cultivation; however, before he could think of any reason, he thought of another reason that made him conclude that Ajax didn''t have any trump cards or faking his cultivation. ''Looks like he relied on his teammates to enter the fourth round.'' This was the conclusion that Prince Dennis hade to after thinking about Ajax for a few moments. ''...'' Ajax remained speechless as he shook his head at Prince Dennis with a face full of pity. "Damn you¡­b*stard. What''s with that look on your face? Do you want to die or what?" Prince Dennis already felt that Zrochester province was the worst province and the cultivators in the province were worthless. So, when he saw such a look on Ajax''s face, Prince Dennis felt an uncontroble rage in his heart. ''Son, don''t let your rage take control of your body. Once you unleash your rage, you will lose the most important trump card.'' Suddenly, he remembered the words of his father, King Thomas. ''I need to control my rage. I need to control my rage.'' ''He is not worth using such a valuable trump card.'' Prince Dennis tried his best to suppress his anger as he calmed himself down. "Lowly cultivator from the Zrochester province, if you fall on your knees and beg for mercy, I will let you live. Also, don''t forget to forfeit if you don''t want to die in the secret realm." Prince Dennis took a deep breath as he looked at Ajax and gave him an offer. ''Sigh'' Ajax looked at Prince Dennis and could not help but sigh as he thought, ''Why these b*astards from the higher provinces are very arrogant?'' "Okay. You arrogant piece of shit, listen carefully. Since you gave me an offer, I will give you the same offer. If you fall to your knees and beg for mercy, I will let you live." Ajax was already tired of being looked down on by everyone just because of his cultivation. Moreover, the sons of these kings are very arrogant and proud. So, he treated them the same way they treated others. ¡­ Outside the secret realm. ''Woah¡­did you hear what he just said?'' ''What? Who?'' ''The opponent of Prince Dennis in the 30th fighting arena. He called Prince Dennis ''Arrogant piece of shit''.'' ''What? Did he really say those words?'' ''Yes. Not only did he say that he even offered Prince Dennis a deal to fall to his knees and beg for mercy.'' ''What? When did such an arrogant young cultivator appear in the Zrochester province?'' The onlookers who were keeping an eye on Ajax''s battle because of Darbaudr''s huge bet, were shocked when they heard Ajax''s words. Soon, they asked the other cultivators to focus on the fighting arena 30. ¡­.. On the huge stage, "How dare he?" King Thomas Slefort became furious when he heard Ajax''s words. Because Prince Dennis was his son, King Thomas was keeping an eye on the arena 30. He was watching the match only to see whether his son could keep his rage under control as he didn''t want Prince Dennis to use such a precious trump card against a level 2 elite general realm cultivator. However, he didn''t expect that his son''s opponent was an arrogant cultivator. "King Thomas, just sit down and watch the match." The powerful cultivators who knew about Prince Dennis''s trump card were celebrating inside their hearts because they knew that without the trump card, Prince Dennis would be an average cultivator for a day. With that, even if Prince Dennis won the match against Ajax, he was basically eliminated from the contest. ''Damn it¡­Dennis, control your anger. Don''t use the trump card on a weak snake.'' In King Thomas'' eyes, Ajax was a weak snake that didn''t need to be hit with a long stick. ''Haha¡­this brat has grown.'' The ck-robed old man looked at Ajax andughed inside his heart. Nevertheless, he didn''tment anything about Ajax or others as he watched multiple flying mirrors in front of him. ¡­.. Inside the secret realm. "Di¡­did you just call me ''Arrogant piece of shit''?" Prince Dennis'' breathing became heavy as though he was fuming with rage as he asked Ajax while trying his best to hold back his anger. "What? You have hearing problems now?" Ajax scoffed at Prince Dennis and called him, ''Arrogant piece of shit.'' "Damn you¡­bastard. I am going to kill you today." Prince Dennis was barely holding back his anger and when Ajax, who was a cultivator from the Zrochester province continued to call him ''Arrogant piece of shit'', he could not hold back his anger anymore. "Cultivator''sw¡­.Fire burst." In the next second, Prince Dennis'' eyes filled with fire as he activated his cultivator''sw. At the same time, huge mes came out of his body. Compared to Emmie''s earlier attack where her entire body was covered with mes, Prince Dennis'' attack looked way more powerful. Just looking at Prince Dennis made most of the onlookers scared. ''Darbaudr, looks like you are losing so much money.'' Among the onlookers, Uncle Dralf looked at Darbaudr and continued asking, ''So, when are you going to pay my spirit stones?'' ''Are you sure do not want any winnings from the bet I ced on young master?'' Darbaudr was calm andposed as he asked Uncle Dralf with a slight smile on his face. ''This nephew of mine¡­where is he getting such confidence from?'' Uncle Dralf also knew about the trump card of Prince Dennis and he was sure that there was no way that Ajax would win against him. But, his nephew was still confident about Ajax''s win. "No. I just want the spirit stones you borrowed from me." Uncle Dralf looked at Ajax and Prince Dennis in the flying mirror for a moment before shaking his head and asking for the spirit stones that Darbaudr borrowed from him. "Okay. Just wait another five minutes. Since I am happy and you are my uncle, I will give you 10 percent interest on the spirit stones I borrowed." Darbaudr knew that his Uncle Dralf stored those spirit stones for the revival of the battle barbarian tribe. So, he knew that Uncle Dralf was worried about the spirit stones. ''Darbaudr, at least this loss will help you realize that you can''t put your absolute trust in someone other than you.'' As for Uncle Dralf, he was not at all worried about the spirit stones as Darbadur expected; instead, he was hoping Darbaudr to learn a lesson from his mistake. ¡­. "me prison" Inside the secret realm, Prince Dennis created a prison made up of mes and imprisoned Ajax. "I will still give you onest chance, kneel and beg." Prince Dennis'' ego was hurt and he wanted Ajax to plead him to his knees. However, he forgot something. If Ajax wanted to leave the secret realm, he could easily use the escape space ring. Instead of saying forgotten, it would be more urate to say that Prince Dennis sumbed to his rage and other than his deepest desire which was to see Ajax kneeling on the ground and beg for his mercy, he was not aware of anything. "If you don''t fall to your knees right now, the me prison will move closer and you will be suffocated to death." Prince Dennis Aka me man walked towards Ajax as he scoffed at him. "Go ahead." However, Ajax was not interested in falling to his knees. Moreover, he was not feeling any suffocation that Prince Dennis mentioned earlier. Moreover, even if he felt any, Ajax already had a n that was more than enough for him to win against Prince Dennis. "Haha¡­you are really fearless." Prince Dennis'' voice filled with rage even in hisughter as he pped twice and the me prison around Ajax started moving closer. "Even if you have a good fire resistance or ovee the suffocation from my mes, your body will be turned into ashes the moment they touch your body. So, fall to your knees." Prince Dennis clenched his fists as he looked at Ajax as he increased the intensity of the mes. "Oh. Now, I am starting to feel something." Finally, Ajax made a little reaction, making Prince Dennis nod his head in satisfaction. Chapter 1327 Level 10 Fire devour

Chapter 1327 Level 10 Fire devour

''Damn it.'' King Thomas clenched his fists as he cursed Ajax for making his son use such a powerful trump card against him. Fire burst, it is a powerful cultivator''sw for humans and other beings. The mes from thisw would turn anything in its way into ashes. Even regr low-level king realm cultivators were no exception. However, such a powerful cultivator''sw had a disadvantage and it was triggered automatically whenever the cultivator was angry. In the past, after Prince Dennis mastered this cultivator''sw, he had destroyed many towns in the province without his knowledge. Moreover, with the passage of time, the level of his cultivator''sw increased and his attitude towards human lives became void. Overall, he felt he was the god and whoever angered him would be turned by ashes by his mes. ¡­ In the secret realm, "So, are you going to kneel now?" Prince Dennis'' ego would be satisfied to see Ajax kneel and beg for mercy; however, even if Ajax did that, Prince Dennis didn''t have any ns on letting Ajax live. ''Swoosh'' The mes around Ajax moved closer as he started feeling the heat waves. "Looks like when you activate your cultivator''sw, you will turn into an idiot." Nevertheless, with a slight smile on his face, Ajax mocked Prince Dennis as he informed, "Did you forget about the escape spatial ring or what? If I want to escape from this secret realm, I can do it just with a thought." "Huh?" Prince Dennis frowned when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he acted like he didn''t know what Ajax was speaking. He thought Ajax was just spouting nonsense. So, he wanted to show Ajax what real pain looks like. "Take this." The mes around Ajax turned pitch ck as they tried to swallow Ajax in a single sweep. "I am waiting for it" Ajax didn''t show any fear with the sudden increase in the intensity of the mes; instead, he revealed an excited look on his face, making all the onlookers raise their brows. ¡­. ''Hey, did you see his expression?'' ''Why does he say those words and what is he excited about?'' ''I think he is giving up by making Prince Dennis use his most powerful trump card. Without that trump card, Prince Dennis will not make it to thest round.'' ''That''s right! What a cunning fellow.'' Most of the onlookers thought Ajax intentionally made Prince Dennis angry to make him use his powerful trump card. So, he would basically be a tiger without its fangs. "Cheap bastard." King Thomas also thought the same and cursed Ajax before saying, "I wonder which sect or family is behind that kid." Thetter words were aimed at everyone sitting around him except for the ck-robed old man. "Da.." "You¡­" "Is there a need for cursing the future pirs of the world like that?" Before the powerful cultivators of the sects and families could say anything, the guardian of the Purple stone world ''Protector of the skies'' spoke in a tone that made everyone on the stage shiver. "Guardian¡­" Compared to others, the ck-robed old man''s cultivation pressure was aimed at King Thomas as he fell to his knees begging the old man. "As I said earlier, it is just apetition among young cultivators of the Purple stone world. There is no need to curse or show your anger on them just because of your sons and daughter." The old man looked at everyone sitting on the huge stage as he retracted his cultivation pressure, "Just enjoy it." "Yes¡­guardian." "We will do that." "Sorry, for bad-mouthing the participant, guardian, I will not do that anymore." Everyone including King Thomas nodded their heads before looking at the flying mirrors. It was not just King Thomas, the other powerful cultivators wereining and cursing the young participants from the Zrochester province. So, the old man gave warning to everyone except for the three protectors in a single sweep. "Good." The ck-robed old man nodded his head as he replied, "Also, that kid named Ajax is going to win the match against your son Dennis. So, let''s see who is the real cheap bastard." ''What?'' Everyone was shocked by the words of the ck-robed old man as they looked at the fighting arena number 30. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' Just as they focused on that arena where Ajax waspletely covered by the huge ck mes, they noticed something was not right. Because they could still see Ajax inside the fire prison created by the huge ck mes. "Fire devour" All of a sudden, a huge whirlpool created above Ajax''s head which sucked all the ck mes into it. ''What is it?'' ''Is he absorbing the ck mes?'' ''Is that a cultivator''sw?'' Everyone was surprised and became excited with the sudden change of events in the fighting arena number 30. ''Swoosh'' In less than a minute, all the mes that were trying to swallow Ajax were in return swallowed by Ajax creating a hugemotion among the onlookers. ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' had sessfully reached level 10. ''Ding, Please increase your cultivation to level 10 elite general realm to unlock the breakthrough conditions into the King realm. As soon as Ajax devoured the mes around him using his cultivator''sw, he received two system notifications, making him quite surprised. ''Finally, it reached level 10. Good, now, all I have to do is to increase my cultivation to level 10 elite general realm and I think it will bepleted in three or four months.'' Ajax was satisfied and confident in reaching the level 10 elite general realm in three to four months because of his four exploration teams along with 11 devourer eagle kings. Of course, he added the normal world cores he would be getting from stopping the demon invasion which might happen anytime now. ''Anyway, since I activated the cultivator''sw, it is better to finish the match soon.'' Ajax didn''t want to waste much of his energy on his opponent when he clearly had the advantage because of his cultivator''sw. So, he wanted to make use of it and finish the match soon. Only by doing so, he could be in his full form when the demon invasion starts. "H..how did you¡­" Prince Dennis was shocked when he saw Ajax who was not harmed in any way and became even more furious as he released more and more mes at Ajax. "Huh? You have more mes in you?" Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he didn''t mind because the more mes he devoured, the more powerful his cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' would be. ''I wonder, whether I can increase my cultivator''sw into a cultivator''s soul by absorbing more and more mes?'' While devouring the ck mes released by Prince Dennis, Ajax thought of something; however, in the next second, he shook his head because he thought it was not possible. ''However, I need to awaken a new cultivator''sw. Even though the current cultivator''sw is at level 10 and only one level away from transforming into a cultivator''s soul, it was useless against my future enemies.'' Other than absorbing the fires, Ajax didn''t find a great use for his first cultivator''sw yet. So, he wanted to awaken a new cultivator''sw. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Time continued to pass as Prince Dennis continuously released ck mes and Ajax devoured them like snacks; however, no matter how many ck mes he devoured, there was no change in Ajax''s cultivator''sw. ''Looks like I was right! It is very hard to transform the cultivator''sw into a soul.'' Ajax noticed that Prince Dennis was bing slower and slower in releasing the ck mes and muttered, ''He might be fainting anytime now.'' Looking at the pale-faced Prince Dennis, Ajax shook his head in pity. Even though Prince Dennis awakened such a powerful cultivator''sw, it was useless in front of his own useless cultivator''sw ''Fire devour''. ''Thud'' All of a sudden, Prince Dennis fell to the ground and all the mes around his body disappeared at the same time. "Huh? What should I do now? Is it considered as my win?" Before entering the secret realm, the old minister mentioned that their opponent had to say ''Forfeit''. So, Ajax rubbed the back of his head looking at the unconscious Prince Dennis. "Since your opponent didn''t forfeit, you have to kill him to win the round." All of a sudden, the old minister''s voice rang in the fighting arena number 30, making Ajax shake his head in disappointment. ''Such a cruel world, asking me to kill the fellow human who was unconscious.'' Ajax looked at the flying mirror that was inside the secret realm that was projecting whatever was happening in that arena and said, "What if I don''t kill him?" "..." The old minister was speechless when he heard Ajax''s reply and said, "Then the one from the lower province will be eliminated after five minutes of no exchange of moves." Chapter 1328 Act of kindness

Chapter 1328 Act of kindness

''Then the participant from the lower province will be eliminated in case there was no exchange of moves between them.'' The old minister spoke in a calm voice as though it wasmon to eliminate the participant from the lower province. ''What?'' ''How can there be such a rule?'' ''That rule is absurd.'' ''They are basically making him a murderer.'' ''Anyway, who is going to bet with me? I say that Ajax will kill Prince Dennis for sure.'' ''I am also sure that Ajax will kill him.'' Initially, the onlookers were surprised with the old minister''s words; however, soon they started guessing and betting whether Ajax would kill Prince Dennis or not. Everyone was sure that Ajax would definitely kill Prince Dennis because the rewards of the fourth round would be great and it would be very hard to resist the temptation. "Old minister, what are you saying? My son is unconscious and it is obvious that he has lost the fight." Even though King Thomas was angry regarding his son''s defeat in the hands of a level 2 elite general realm cultivator, he didn''t want his only son to die here. So, he was serious when he said those words to the old minister who became full in charge of the Flderton kingdom after King Louie''s spirit consciousness was destroyed and his son, Prince Diego died in the hands of Princess Daphne. So, basically, the kingdom fell into his hands. "King Thomas, I know that rule seems absurd but this rule was followed from ancient times. So, I can''t let your son out of the secret realm unless he forfeits the match." Even though the old minister was shivering deep inside his heart when he heard King Thomas'' words, he looked at the ck-robed old man and replied in a calm tone. Since he was following the rules of the contest that wereing from ancient times, the old minister was confident that the ''Protector of the skies'' would protect him in case King Thomas ns to attack him. "King Thomas, I will ask you one question. Please give an honest answer." When King Thomas was about to turn crazy and attack the old minister, the guardian of the Purple stone world spoke all of a sudden, making the old minister of the Flerton kingdom heave a sigh of relief. "Guardian, please make an exception and let my sone out of the secret realm." King Thomas looked at the ck-robed old man as he continued, "I will answer anything." King Thomas, just wanted to save his son''s life at any cost and for that, he didn''t mind answering any question. Moreover, the guardians have the power to make exceptions in the contest. So, he fell to his knees as he begged the guardian. "As I said, just answer my question honestly and I will bring your son out of the secret realm." The old man nodded his head. "Please ask, guardian." King Thomas saw hope for his son as he hurriedly nodded his head. "If, by chance, Ajax was in the ce of your son, will you oppose this so-called absurd rule?" Looking at the flying mirror, the old man asked King Thomas in a calm andposed manner. "I..I would have still called it an absurd rule. Just remove that rule, guardian." King Thomas frowned for a moment when he heard the question; however, he swiftly answered while trying to put an honest look on his face. "Really?" The ck-robed old man''s voice contained a hint of mockery as he looked at the three protectors and others before asking, "So, how many of you think that this is the honest answer of King Thomas?" ''...'' No one replied as they looked at each other for a moment before shaking his head. It was obvious that no one believed that King Thomas was such a kind person that would oppose the rule if it was not his son. "Sigh¡­if you gave an honest answer, I would have brought your son by making an exception regarding the contest rules. Your son is dying because of you." The ck-robed man sounded a little serious, making everyone keep quiet, including King Thomas, who seemed to lose all colour on his face and his eyes looked lifeless. "However, if your son''s opponent is kind enough, he might live." Of course, King Thomas didn''t believe that was going to happen but still looked at the flying mirror. ..... In the secret realm, "I can''t kill such a pitiful person though." As for Ajax, he didn''t have any thoughts of killing Prince Dennis who was currently unconscious; instead, he felt pity. Even though he has such a powerful cultivator''sw, it was not in his control and triggered on its own, making Ajax shake his head. "I give up" After looking at Prince Dennis for a moment, Ajax used his escape space ring toe out of the secret realm. ''What?'' ''Why did he forfeit now?'' ''I think he got scared because of the revenge from King Thomas.'' ''Are you sure? As long as he reaches the fifth round, he will be protected by the guardians of the world.'' ''Yes. So, there is no need to worry about revenge as King Thomas can''t do anything against him.'' ''Looks like something is wrong with that kid''s head.'' ''Sigh¡­what a pity.'' All the onlookers were shocked and shook their heads when they saw Ajax appear in the middle of the colosseum. "What? Why? How?" King Thomas could not believe his eyes as he looked at Ajax who was standing in the center of the colosseum. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, King Thomas came to his senses as he rushed towards Ajax. "Th¡­thank you for sparing my son''s life." Standing in front of Ajax, King Thomas deeply bowed to Ajax as he thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart. "Huh? Your son?" Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, "It''s nothing but I hope you help your son get that cultivator''sw under control." As soon as he finished his words Ajax didn''t bother to stay in the colosseum as he walked towards the ce where Darbaudr and others were sitting. Since he got eliminated from the contest, Ajax decided to sit with others while waiting for the demon invasion to start. "What?" King Thomas was shocked when he heard Ajax''s reply and wondered, ''Why is he not asking anything in return for the rewards?'' Until now, King Thomas never saw someone who helped him without expecting anything in return. So, he was surprised by Ajax. "Young man, please wait." Nevertheless, King Thomas didn''t want Ajax to lose the rewards from the contest just because of his son. So, he stopped Ajax and asked, "Why do you give up your rewards just like that?" He was confused and curious as he wanted to know why he didn''t kill his son when it waspletely legal. "This world needs someone like your son to protect in the future. So, it is better for him to live rather than die here." Ajax stopped in his tracks as he replied without turning back. "But, the current state your son is in, where he can''t even control his cultivator''sw, he will be the disaster of the world. So, you better train him properly." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax left the colosseum and sat with others. Even though Ajax didn''t like Prince Dennis, he felt Prince Dennis will be a good follower for him once he learns how to control his cultivator''sw. Moreover, once Prince Dennis bes more powerful in the future, only Ajax could control him because his cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' is the bane of Prince Dennis'' cultivator''sw ''Fire burst''. ''Let''s see whether he will change after today or will he still remain as the arrogant young master.'' Actually, Ajax just wanted to send Prince Dennis in the ''Second chance'' system feature to change Prince Dennis into apletely new person who would be loyal to him. However, because of so many powerful cultivators watching him right now and he wanted to see Prince Dennis change by the act of ''Sparing his life''. "..." King Thomas felt something he didn''t feel for a long time in his heart as he hurriedly turned towards the ck-robed old man. "Sir Guardian, can you please eliminate my son and let that young man enter in my son''s ce?" There was no hesitation when King Thomas said those words to the old man as he continued, "Earlier, I felt it was not wise to be kind; however, now, I learned that becausse of that kindness my son is alive. So, I am repaying the young man''s kindness to the best of my ability." ''What the¡­'' ''Is he really King Thomans?'' The powerful cultivators who were sitting on the huge stage, who knew about King Thomas, were shocked to hear such wordsing from King Thomas. Nevertheless, he didn''t say anything out loud and waited for the guardian''s reply. Chapter 1329 Changing the result

Chapter 1329 Changing the result

King Thomas was not a type to show any mercy and if he was offended even a little, he would punish those who were responsible for it. Also, the other powerful cultivators have never seen him bow or ask something for others. So, of course, it gave a huge shock to everyone sitting on the huge stage. "Haha." As everyone was waiting for the guardian''s reply, the guardian looked at King Thomas and startedughing out loud. "I never thought that King Thomas would make his own son eliminated from the contest. Are you sure about it?" "Yes, Guardian. Even if my son moves to the next second stage of the fourth round, my son might not win against the other participants because he still needs at least a couple of hours before waking up." King Thomas had already thought about it and he also knew that his son would not go further in the contest in his current condition. Soo, he felt it was better for someone who spared the life of his son to stay in the contest; instead of his son. "King Thomas, my opinion on you changed in a positive way." The ck-robed old man''s words surprised everyone, including King Thomas as they continued to listen, "For the future of the Purple stone world, the youngsters like Ajax and Dennis are required." "One should know how to be kind and power that could stop the invading forces; however, ording to the rules of the contest, there will be only one winner in a fight." Initially, everyone thought that the guardian of the Purple stone world was going to dere both the young participants as winners; however, when he mentioned the rules, they were looking forward to seeing whether the guardian would ept King Thomas'' request. "So, the winner of that fight will be Ajax and Prince Dennis will be eliminated." The ck-robed old man gave his decision and since he was the guardian of the Purple stone world and the strongest cultivator among the current cultivators who were sitting on the huge stage, no one opposed. Instead, everyone apuded at the guardian''s words. "Thank you, Sir Guardian." King Thomas bowed to the old man and picked his son, Prince Dennis, who was sent out of the secret realm after the old man announced the results of the match. ''Huh? I am the winner?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment when he heard the result and bowed to the ck-robed old man and King Thomas because he was the one who made that request. "Congrattions, Ajax." "Congrattions, Brat." "Go and sit with other participants who passed the first stage of the fourth round." Everyone sitting beside Ajax congratted him and pushed him back into the colosseum. Since he is still in the contest, Ajax has every right to sit with the other young participants in the colosseum. .... "My dear nephew, let''s go and collect our gains from the bet." As Ajax sat with Princess Daphne and other participants, Uncle Dralf looked at Darbaudr and excitedly said to him. "Our?" Darbaudr looked at his uncle and replied, "Someone was asking me when I will be paying their debt. As I promised, I will return the spirit stones I took from you along with some request." Currently, Darbaudr looked expressionless as he replied to Uncle Dralf; however, deep down, he could not help butugh at his uncle''s expression. ''I should toy with him for a while for not having faith in his own nephew.'' Even though Darbaudr'' earlier words seemed a little bit serious, he was just ying with his uncle. "You¡­what are you saying? We are family." Uncle Dralf shouted out loud as he pped the back of the Darbaudr''s head and replied, "Moreover, since you have returned to the tribe, you will be taking your position as the tribe chief of our battle barbarians." Uncle Dralf knew how to lock Darbaudr with his words. So, he continued speaking without giving Darbaudr any chance to reply, "With the spirit stones we gained, he could rebuild our tribe in the Ylercester province without any problem." Even though for a sect or a family or a tribe, having powerful cultivators was a must, at the same time, to build or develop or rebuild them, it needed a lot of cultivation resources. With the winning spirit stones from the gambling den, the barbarians would notck the resources for some time; however, it is still not enough though. "Damn it¡­.why do you always bring the tribe into our conversations?" Darbaudr became angry as he shouted at Uncle Dralf with a face full of rage; however, he didn''t continue the fight with his uncle as they went to collect their gains. Even though King Louie became useless after his spirit consciousness was broken, the Flerton family is already stabilized with the old minister as the new king. So, there were no problems with the gambling den and the moment the dealer saw the two battle barbarians, he became respectful and paid five times the spirit stones that Darbaudr ced. ''Looks like the gambling den took a huge loss this time.'' One of the cultivators who saw the barbarians taking their gains from the dealer could not help but mock the gambling den for losing so much. "Are you an idiot or what?" However, what followed was a p to that cultivator from Uncle Dralf, who exined, "Even though it seemed like the gambling den lost a lot, do you really think they lost anything?" "This time there were a lot of unexpected winners in the first stage of the fourth. First, Princess Daphne won the fight and no one ced any bet on her winning." "Second, three nameless participants from the Zrochester province won the fight and no one ced any bets on them just because they are from Zrochester province." "Finally, let''s talk about the match ''Young master Ajax versus Prince Dennis''. Everyone ced their bets on Prince Dennis except for my nephew who ced our entire savings on young master Ajax. Overall, it is still the Flerton family who gained a lot from the gambling den." Uncle Dralf was in a great mood today and he spoke too much before leaving with Darbaudr. "What''s his problem?" "Is he a supporter of the Flerton family or what?" "Looks like it." All the onlookers were confused at Uncle Dralf as they didn''t understand why he was saying all that. Nevertheless, they didn''t bother too much about it as they focused on the remaining matches in the secret realm. Time continued to pass as one match after another was gettingpleted in the secret realm and soon the results were announced. Princess Daphne, Emmie, Darius, Ronnie, Fearless gori, Silver Goliath, King killer, Golmath, Alman, Ajax, Snowstorm, Darkme, Three nameless cultivators¡­and Justice. On a huge flying mirror in the center of the colosseum, there were 30 participants'' names who qualified for the second stage of the fourth round has appeared. "Congrattions to the participants who made it into thest stage of the fourth round." The old minister congratted the 30 participants as he looked at everyone and continued, "As long as you pass this stage, you will be personally trained by the three protectors and help you reach the king realm with the highest probability of getting selected by the organizations from the greater world." Everyone became too silent as they didn''t understand what the old minister was saying because they were not knowledgeable about the recruitment of the organizations from the other worlds. However, all the 30 young participants were knowledgeable because their elders informed them about these things recently. "There will be a break of three hours; however, the matching of your opponents will be shown now as you can analyze your opponent." After saying that, the old minister looked at the ck-robed old man who waved his hands and the 30 names on the huge flying mirror started shuffling at an incredible speed. "Fletcher versus Silver goliath" "Emmie versus Princess Daphne." "Darius versus Fearless gori." "Golmath versus Dark me." "Alman versus Snowstorm." . . "Ajax versus Ronnie." Soon, the names stopped shuffling as the matching waspleted. "Remember your opponent''s name and collect as much data as possible. Prepared perfect counterattacks. See you again in three hours." The guardian of the Purple stone world stood up from his chair as he said these words to them in a low voice before disappearing from his ce. "Woah¡­I am looking forward to Emmie and Princess Daphne fighting. It will be a fight between fire and water." "Yes. But I am looking forward to Ajax and Ronnie. I wonder how many moves Ajax will lose the fight." "By the way, why are there so many participants from the Zrochester province. I am not liking it." "Me neither. But, there is nothing we can do about it." All the onlookers looked at the matching on the huge flying mirror and looked forward to some of the matches. There were even some who was dissatisfied with the province of the participants. Chapter 1330 Blood rain

Chapter 1330 Blood rain

Among the thirty participants, 10 of them belong to the Zrochester province, five of them belong to the Ylerecester province and the remaining 15 young participants were from the Xacaster province. So, Zrochester province being the lowest level of province, how could 10 young participantse from it? This was a question that was bothering everyone from the third round of the contest. Even though no one was able to find a perfect answer for it, a few intelligent cultivators concluded that the Zrochester province was getting the support of the Guardians of the world. Nevertheless, no one dared to say it out loud and waited for the three-hour break toplete. .... Three hourster. "Let''s start the matches again." The old minister shouted out loud and all thirty young participants were ready to enter the secret realm. "Fletcher versus Silver goliath." In one of the arenas, Silver goliath looked at his opponent and without wasting any time, he used the secret cultivation technique of his n to increase his size to 10 meters. "I am going to win this match." As for Fletcher, two huge wings appeared on his back as he rushed at Silver goliath. "Emmie versus Princess Daphne." Among the 15 matches that were currently ongoing, this match could be considered the most exciting match. Prince Daphne was glowing with the turquoise light whereas Emmie was covered in the bright red mes as they both fought using their full battle prowess. That''s right! They are using full battle prowess which included their elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that were registered in the contest. Five fire elemental spirits were fighting five water elemental spirits at the side, which seemed to be in a stalemate. "Darius versus Fearless gori." Right now, all 15 matches were interesting and the onlookers were keeping track of all 15 matches. Darius brandished a fire sword and summoned his elemental spirits whereas Fearless gori, transformed into a gained gori that seemed like it lost control as it attacked Darius and his elemental spirits. "Golmath versus Dark me." "Alman versus Snowstorm." These two matches were a little special because the participants Golmath and Alman were not humans; instead, they were spirit beasts. To be more specific, they were re-cultivated spirit beasts. One of them was from the ''House of aqua dragons'' and another participant was from the ''Ancient mammoth tribe''. Even though they looked powerful, Dark me and Snowstorm were also not weak as they fought the re-cultivated spirit beasts in equal terms. A few other matches were also going on as everyone was cing bets on the winners and the odds were changing for every move made by the participants. Still, the cultivators who were addicted to betting were continuously cing their bets. "Ajax versus Ronnie." Last but not least, the match between Ajax and Ronnie also attracted many cultivators because of Ajax''s level 10 cultivator''sw. In the entire contest, other than Ajax and Cain, no one had the level 10 cultivator''sw. Moreover, Ajax''s opponent was one of the top three powerful cultivators among the younger generation. So, they were looking forward to their fight. ''Even though Ajax has a level 10 cultivator''sw, it will be difficult for him to win against Ronnie.'' ''Yeah. Let''s keep our entire savings on Ronnie.'' ''No. I made some good returns in my earlier bet on Ajax''s win. So, I will try it out once again.'' ''I will get five times more than what we ced if Ajax wins. I think it is worth the risk.'' Compared to before, more and more cultivators ced their bets on Ajax''s win; however, the bets on Ronnie were 10 times more than the bets ced on Ajax. The gambling den was taking a little bet on Ajax too and that''s the reason why the difference in the bets on the two participants was too muchpared to the other fights. ... Time continued to pass and the fights between the young participants became intense. At the same time, they started ending too as the results appeared on the huge flying mirror. "Fletcher versus Silver goliath, Silver Goliath wins." "Emmie versus Princess Daphne, Princess Daphne, wins" "Darius versus Fearless gori, Darius wins." "Golmath versus Dark me, Golmath wins." "Alman versus Snowstorm, Alman wins." . . Except for Ajax and Ronnie''s match, the remaining 14 matches werepleted and 14 winners came out of the secret realm and settled in the chairs ced in front of the huge stage. Darius, Princess Daphne, Silver goliath, Golmath, Alman, Levi, Nameless cultivators x 3, King killer, Cain, Iris, Noel and Sean. Among the top 15, 14 names were already disyed and thest match was still ongoing between Ajax and Ronnie. "Ajax, is it? You have my respect for making me use so many of my trump cards." Roonie''s entire body was covered in injuries and at the same time, he looked very tired; however, he still maintained his calm as he spoke to Ajax. ''Huf huf'' As for Ajax, he was also not in a good state, he used his blood ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'' and summoned the two earth elemental spirits, it and Quarris because he only registered them before entering the contest. "You are also not bad¡­Huf" While gasping for breath, Ajax looked at the seven elemental spirits that werepletely tired as they fell to the ground. "Haha" Ronnie was shocked at Ajax''s battle prowess as he never expected a level 2 elite general realm cultivator would make him use almost all of his trump cards and he could still stand in front of him. What''s more, his two elemental spirits were able to defeat his five elemental spirits which have around the same cultivation of Ajax''s elemental spirits. Nevertheless, the usually arrogant Ronnie felt fully satisfied with the fight with Ajax and said, "Even though I admire you for making me exhausted to such an extent, I still have a couple of trump cards. So, I suggest you give up because they might kill you." Ronnie liked Ajax and gave a suggestion because he didn''t want Ajax to die. If possible, he wanted to make Ajax his friend because he was sure that as long as Ajax lives, he would be a monster in the Purple stone world. "Go ahead. I want to see how powerful your final trump cards are." With an exhausted look on his face, Ajax replied in a calm tone, making Ronnie frown a little bit. "You are really something. I have never encountered someone who didn''t take my suggestion. Looks like you will be the first one and at the same time, thest one." Ronnie was not at all offended by Ajax''s words; instead, his respect towards Ajax increased even more. Because he felt Ajax truly had the ability to block or dodge thest few trump cards. "Blood cloud" Without wasting any more time, Ronnie shouted out loud at the sky and soon, blood drops started falling on Ajax''s body. Actually, a small red-coloured cloud appeared above Ajax''s head which released blood drops only on him. ''Ssh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Each blood drop that fell on Ajax''s body burnt his skin a little. Even though the burns from the blood drops were not severe, the pain Ajax felt was on another level. Since he was not ready for such pain at the moment, he could not help but groan; however, it didn''t take much time for Ajax to adjust to the pain as he moved away from his ce to escape the blood cloud. ''Swoosh'' However, the blood cloud followed him and continued to pour blood drops on him. ''Damn it¡­it continues, my entire body will melt in 10-15 minutes.'' No matter where he ran, the blood drops were not missing his body, making Ajax a little annoyed. "There is no ce for you to hide. Wherever you go, the blood cloud will follow you." As for Ronnie, looking at Ajax, he replied with a slight smile on his face as he slowly recovered his energy. "Really?" All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something as he revealed an ear to ear smile on his face and without wasting any time, he summoned, ''Shadow clone,e out.'' Simr looking Ajax appeared from Ajax''s shadow and without any hesitation, Ajax used his shadow clone as an umbre to save himself from the blood rain. To his shadow clone, there is no pain or death and it was a perfect meat shield that Ajax was willing to use. After finding a meat shield for himself, Ajax didn''t bother to run anymore because he knew running would be just a waste of time. ''Let''s see how long your blood cloud will pour blood rain.'' This was the only thought in Ajax''s head as he looked at Ronnie in the distance. ''p'' ''p'' Looking at Ajax, who was using his shadow clones as a meat shield, Ronnie could not help but p for Ajax before saying, "It''s time for the finishing move, Ultimate blood cloud." Chapter 1331 Young Cultivator’s ranking list

Chapter 1331 Young Cultivator''s ranking list

"It''s time for the finishing move, Ultimate blood cloud." Even though Ronnie was surprised to see the usage of Ajax''s shadow clone against his blood cloud, he used his final trump card without any hesitation. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ronnie shouted the name of his final trump card, ten blood clouds appeared around the original blood cloud. Unlike the first blood cloud, the newly formed blood clouds didn''t pour down any blood drops; instead, they spun around the main blood cloud. ''Huh? I am having a bad feeling about it. Should I use another trump card?'' As for Ajax, he felt something bad was about to happen and thought of using a trump card of his own. So far, Ajax only used his abyssal beast god bloodline; other than that, Ajax was just pushing his limits without using any more of his trump cards. ''Boom'' In the next second, the 10 newly formed blood clouds stopped spining around the main blood cloud and merged together into a single huge blood cloud with a huge st that sted Ajax away. ''Swoosh'' ''Cough'' Ajax''s shadow clone disintegrated into nothing and as for Ajax, he coughed a mouthful of blood. "I will give you onest chance before my ultimate blood cloud starts pouring the blood rain." Ronnie slowly walked towards Ajax as he still wanted to give Ajax a chance to giveup on the contest. ''....'' Ajax looked at Ronnie for a moment before struggling to stand on his feet. "Haha" Soon, he startedughing out loud as he continued his words, "Brother Ronnie, let me ask you a question." Ajax didn''t give up; instead, he wanted to ask Ronnie a question and at the same time, Ajax used a few units of Sacred Astral Energy topletely heal his interenal injuries. "I like your spirit butughing out loud like that is making me a little bit annoyed. So, stopughing out loud and go ahead, ask a question." Ronnie nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. Of course, he was a little dissatisfied with Ajax''s attitude towards him. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean Ronnie would kill Ajax as he was not a person to kill others without proper reason. "If I defeat you today, will that make me the strongest cultivator among the younger generation in the entire Purple stone world?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked Ronnie his question. Ronnie asked Ajax not tough out loud; however, that doesn''t mean Ajax should not smile either. So, Ajax maintained a slight smile on his face as he asked that question. ''Ding, The host used 5 units of Sacred Astral Energy and all his internal injuries arepletely healed. Before Ronnie could give a reply, a system notification rang in Ajax''s head, making his smile bigger. ''...'' "Haha¡­you are definitely interesting. But, is there really a need to ask that question?" Ronnie was speechless at Ajax''s question for a moment; however, in the next second, he startedughing out loud as though he heard the biggest joke in a while. "I know that I am indeed interesting but can you answer my question?" Ajax nodded his head, making Ronnie feel that Ajax was serious about defeating him. "Fine. I will answer your question." Ronnie stoppedughing; however, there was still a big smile on Ajax''s face as he nodded his head at Ajax before answering his question. "As long as you defeat me today, you will be considered as the strongest cultivator in the younger generation in the entire Purple stone world." Ronnie didn''t waste any time as he replied to Ajax and continued, "If you can do that, you will be even stronger than Emmie and Darius." In the Purple stone world, there is a ranking for young cultivators below the age of 20 and in the ranking, Ronnie is the first whereas Emmie and Darius are second and third respectively. So, as long as Ajax defeats Ronnie, the ranking in that list would be changed as Ajax would take over Ronnie''s ce as the others would be pushed one rank below. ''Even though I can gain nothing for being number one on that ranking, it will be good to have that title.'' Until now, Ajax was hiding his battle prowess and even now, he had yet to reveal hisplete battle prowess. However, right now, using his partial battle prowess, achieving the number one ce in the young cultivator ranking list was a good achievement for Ajax and he wanted to be number one. ¡­.. Outside the secret realm. ''Do you really think that Ajax can win against Ronnie?'' ''Nope. Ronnie is going all out against Ajax and I doubt Ajax could even use his trump card.'' ''I am still in shock that Ajax couldst this long against Ronnie but winning is out of Ajax''s league.'' ''Yeah.'' ''This brat doesn''t know when to giveup.'' ''Yeah. Just because he was able to stall for some time against Ronnie until now doesn''t mean he could defeat Ronnie.'' ''He is just seeking death by not forfeiting the match.'' . . . Almost all the onlookers were supporting Ronnie because they knew that the huge blood cloud above Ajax''s head was not something Ajax could handle. As long as the blood rain starts pouring out of the ultimate blood cloud, Ajax''s body would instantly melt. So, many of the onlookers just hoped that Ajax would give up the fight against Ronnie because with his battle prowess, Ajax would be a powerful cultivator. Nevertheless, there was criticism also because some cultivators thought that Ajax didn''t know when to give up and he was having a fool''s dream of defeating Ronnie. "Hey, stop with that. Didn''t you hear young master Ajax''s words?" However, there was someone who got annoyed with an onlooker''s criticism of Ajax as he shouted out loud. "Uncle Dralf, what are you doing?" That''s right! It was none other than Darbaudr''s uncle. After regretting not cing any bet on Ajax in the earlier round, Uncle Dralf ced all the spirit stones that Darbaudr returned to him. So, when others said that Ajax would lose the fight, he could not help but get furious as he shouted at everyone, which made all the onlookers silent because of his King realm cultivation. ''Scoff¡­.in this world, strength is all you need to control others.'' If Uncle Dralf''s cultivation hadn''t broken through to the King realm, no one would have paid any attention to him; however, for a king realm cultivator, no one would dare ignore and no one would dare to bother him. "Since young master Ajax said that he is going to defeat Ronnie and secure the number one position on the young cultivator''s ranking list, then he will do it at any cost." Dralf looked at all those who were saying that Ajax would lose and sat down without doing anything. If not for the powerful cultivators sitting on the chair hadn''t looked at him, Uncle Dralf would have taught a good lesson to a few cultivators. Nevertheless, he controlled his anger when Darbaudr patted his back. ... In the secret realm, "Good to know." When he heard Ronnie''s reply, Ajax nodded his head and with a slight smile on his face, he continued to reply to Ronnie, "Shall we continue our fight?" Since Ajax got his answer from Ronnie, he nodded his head and used the other couple units of Sacred Astral Energy to heal his external injuries. ''Swoosh'' In a second, Ajax''s entire body recovered and with his earlier healig, Ajax was in good condition. "Huh? A healing skill?" Ronnie and others who saw Ajax''s injuries heal in an instant were surprised a little; however, healing skills were not umon in the world. "Since you want to continue fighting me, don''t regret itter." Ronnie gave a slight warning before shouting out loud, "Ultimate blood rain." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, blood rain starteding out the huge blood cloud hovering about Ajax. Compared to before, a single drop of blood rain was around the size of an adult fist. As long as it fell on the cultivator''s body, there was no doubt it would make a huge hole and at the same time, melt down the body in an instant. ''What is he going to do now?'' Ronnie was looking at Ajax, hoping Ajax would show some miracle that could block or counter his blood rain. Ajax''s friends were also curious; however, unlike Ronnie, they were worrying about Ajax because even a slight mistake would kill Ajax now. ''Looks like he really has something up his sleeves.'' Elder Boron, the guardian of the Purple stone world, looked at Ajax with a serious look on his face as heined, ''Why do the father and son pair always take things to the extreme? Why can''t they just use their trump cards to defeat their enemies already? Why must I have to go through all this suspense?'' There was no end to theints made by Elder Boron in his head. Chapter 1332 Using Special Demonic Energy

Chapter 1332 Using Special Demonic Energy

"I am impressed by your determination and that''s why I gave you multiple chances to forfeit the match; however, it is going to cost you your life." "Ultimate blood rain" Ronnie looked at Ajax and activated his ''Ultimate blood cloud''. "Why will I forfeit a match that I am going to win without any doubt?" As for Ajax, he had a slight smile on his face as he replied to Ronnie before activating, ''Demonic form, activate.'' ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, the special demonic energy in Ajax''s body came out of his body and surrounded him like a raincoat. Actually, Ajax didn''t want to use the ''Demonic form''; however, he was determined to win the battle against Ronnie and rece Ronnie''s position in the ranking list. Also, he felt using another trump card like ''Demonic form'' was not a bad thing to do. Moreover, it would show others how powerful he was. ''Even if the leader of the powerful sects and families dared to say that he was a demon or whatsoever, I am not worried much because when the demons invade tomorrow, they will have to rely on me whether they like it or not.'' Ajax had carefully thought about using his ''Demonic form'' in public. So, he was not worried much as he already had backup ns in case things go sideways. ''Drip'' ''Drip'' The blood dropsing out of the ultimate blood cloud fell on the special demonic energy around Ajax; however, instead of going through the special ck energy, the blood drops slid down to the ground. ''What?'' ''What is that?'' ''Is that evil energy? Or dark energy?'' ''Hey, did you notice the changes in the appearance of his face? Why does it look demonic?'' All the onlookers were shocked to see the sudden appearance of special demonic energy; however, they were unable to distinguish what type of energy it was because they were unable to see it. However, a few cultivators noticed that Ajax''s face currently looked demonic and assumed that he was a spy of the demons. ''Huh? Interesting. Where did he get that energy from?'' Elder Boron, the ''Protector of the skies'' was also shocked when he saw Ajax surrounded by the special demonic energy. However, his shocked expression changed into excitement as though he knew something about the special demonic energy. ''Did he already visit a Greater demonic world?'' Soon, Elder Boron asked himself a question as he looked at Ajax in the flying mirror and sighed, ''Looks like the time hase for him to know about those things.'' Elder Boron was carrying a burden for thest 16 years and he still wanted to continue carrying it; however, he had to free himself from the burden. ''It is what I have to do and let him walk the path which his father failed to walk.'' Elder Boron''s mood turned sour when he thought about the things that happened in the past and the things that were going to happen in the future. ¡­.. "What are you?" Ronnie was shocked because it was the first time that his ''Ultimate blood cloud'' failed to defeat his opponent as he looked at Ajax in a new light. "So, shall I finish the match now?" Ajax asked Ronnie with a smile on his face. "I admit defeat." However, in the next second, Ronnie bowed to Ajax and directly admitted the defeat without any hesitation. ''...'' Ajax was speechless as he looked at Ronnie. ''...'' ''...'' The same goes for the onlookers and the powerful cultivators sitting on the stage. Even though Ajax was able to avoid Ronnie''s ultimate skill, that doesn''t mean Ajax could win against Ronnie. So, they were out of words when they heard Ronnie''s words. "The match between Ajax and Ronnie ended and Ajax won the match." The old minister quickly reacted and announced the results of thest match in the fourth round. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax and Ronnie came out of the secret realm. "Brother Ajax, let''s have a rematch after some time." Ronnie was not at all disappointed that he lost a match; instead, he seemed like he was in a happy mood as he even asked Ajax for a re-match in the future. "Sure, brother Ronnie." Ajax nodded his head at Ronnie and epted for the re-match in the future. "Everyone, the final round of the contest will begin in 12 hours. Go and take some rest." Elder Boron stood up from his chair as he announced the timing for the next round before disappearing from his ce. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' At the same time, four others disappeared from the ce where qualified participants were sitting. ''Huh?'' ''What was that?'' ''Did guardian take a liking for those four young participants or what?'' Everyone noticed the disappearance ofo the four young participants and muttered to himself. ''What is going to happen to Ajax?'' Darbaudr and others from the Zrochester province were both happy and worried for Ajax as they still didn''t know what the guardian of the Purple stone world was nning for Ajax and the three others who disappeared along with him. "Darbaudr, don''t worry. I heard that among all the guardians of the Purple stone world, ''Protector of the skies'' is the most righteous one. So, I think he was nning to take Ajax as his personal disciple." Uncle Dralf had more knowledge about the guardianspared to Darbaudr. So, looking at the worried look on Darbaudr, Uncle Dralf tried to calm him. "Sigh" Darbaudr sighed as he shook his head and replied to his uncle, "I am not worried about young master Ajax at all." "Huh? Then what are you worried about?" Uncle Dralf had only seen Darbaudr worry a few times in the past and there would be a good reason for it. So, he asked about it if he was not worried about Young master Ajax. "I am worried about the guardian of the Purple stone world." Darbaudr calmly replied to Uncle Dralf that made even the two vagrant cultivators and the other youngsters frown. Chapter 1333 Reunion

Chapter 1333 Reunion

''Huh?'' Hearing Darbaudr''s words made everyone around him frown as they looked at the barbarian with serious looks in their eyes. There were some onlookers who were furious and wanted to beat the shit out of Darbaudr; however, when they realized that there was a king realm barbarian beside him, they controlled their anger. Even though they suppressed their anger, they were still looking at him as though they were waiting for the barbarian to exin the meaning behind his words. "Uncle Dralf, let''s go and collect our betting money." However, Darbaudr didn''t even bother to look at them as he pulled his uncle to the gambling den in the colosseum. ''...'' All the onlookers wanted to stop them; however, they didn''t want to mess with a King realm barbarian because barbarians easily get angry and they might even kill those who were bothering them. Seward, Elek and their personal disciples knew something about why Darbaudr said those words; however, they wanted to hear it from Darbaudr''s words as it would help them get aplete understanding of Ajax. With that thought in their heads, they followed the barbarians to the gambling den as they also made some good returns from the gambling den. ... After collecting their returns from the gambling den, they slowly walked towards the resting quarters for the participants from the Zrochester province. "Darbaudr, what do you mean by the earlier words...I mean, why are you worried about the guardian of the Purple stone world?" Along the way, Seward asked Darbaudr in a calm tone as though he was not stressing that Darbaudr should answer his question. "As you already know, young master Ajax has a master¡­a very powerful one at that." Darbaudr looked at Seward and others as he continued, "If the guardian of the purple stone world is adamant on epting the young master as his personal disciple, then this world will lose a guardian." "Even though his master might not be in this world, he will always protect him with his mysterious techniques." Darbaudr noticed a couple of times that whenever Ajax was in huge trouble, he woulde up with something out of nowhere and of course, Darbaudr concluded it as the help from Ajax''s master. "Oh" Except for Seward and Elek, everyone opened their mouths with surprise. "Yeah. We also noticed it when we were trying to pry into Ajax''s secrets back in the mercenary guild." Seward spoke without thinking much; however, it was toote for him to realize that he spoke something he should not have spoken in front of the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators. "What? Master, you pry into the secrets of others?" "Looks like our masters always watch us from the shadows." "They watch us to protect us from being harmed." "Really? I doubt that?" When everyone was supporting the actions of the vagrant cultivators, Lewis looked at his master Elek and replied with doubtful eyes. "You little ungrateful brat." Elder Elek became furious when he heard Lewis'' words as he pped his head before saying, "We do that to protect you." Even though he said that the real reason why they tried to pry into Ajax''s secrets was that they were a little doubtful that Ajax was a demonic cultivator. However, their spirit consciousnesses were blocked by some kind of powerful barrier which didn''t allow them to see through it. From that barrier, they concluded that Ajax''s master will be an emperor realm cultivator. "Anyway, let''s go and rest for now. I am excited for the final round of the contest." Elder Seward nodded his head as he changed the topic because he didn''t want to talk about it. ..... In a secret realm. ''Swoosh'' The guardian and the four young participants appeared in an open ground. "Huh? Why am I here?" Ajax looked at the surroundings that looked familiar and asked himself as he looked at the others who were beside him. ''Guardian and the three mask participants.'' Ajax noticed the others as he silently muttered to himself as he raised his guard up/ "Brat, looks like you have be very powerful." As Ajax was raising his guard up, he heard a familiar voice that he had heard a long time ago. "El¡­elder Boron." Ajax stuttered in his words as he looked at the ck-robed old man who removed the mask covering his face. "Ajax, how are you?" At the same time, the young participants removed their masks as they asked Ajax. "Brother Jason, Damon and Hector." At a single nce, Ajax recognized them as his eyes turned misty. Ajax was barely controlling his tears because he knew that Elder Boron would mock him for being a crybaby. "Is it real or am I dreaming once again?" Ajax rubbed his head as he pinched himself to see whether what he was seeing right now was true or not. Because in the past, he had a simr dream many times and he wanted to make sure what he was seeing right now was true. ''Aargh¡­it is real.'' Ajax felt the pain and confirmed it was real and the tears in his eyes were about toe out. For Ajax, even though it was less than two years since he parted ways with Jason and others, he was very happy to see them alive. As for Elder Boron, he was more than a family for Ajax because he taught so many things to Ajax and Ajax was very grateful for that. Moreover, just thinking he had finally reunited with Elder Boron and his friends from the Silver Orphanage, makes Ajax cry like a baby. ''m'' "Stop being the crybaby." Jason and others wanted to console Ajax because he had to survive on his own in this dog-eat-dog world; however, before they could reach Ajax, Elder Boron appeared beside Ajax and mmed Ajax''s back. "Elder Boron, are you nning to kill me or what?" Even though Ajax didn''t feel much pain from the p, he shouted back at him just like how he used to retort in the past. "You haven''t changed a bit." Elder Boron shook his head as he asked, "Anyway, it is time for you to learn about some things." Chapter 1334 Vaugh Spirit eye

Chapter 1334 Vaugh Spirit eye

Ajax looked at Elder Boron and his old friends as he cleared his eyes while waiting for Elder Boron to say the things he wanted to say After starting his cultivation, Ajax already thought Elder Boron was not an ordinary cultivator; instead, he was a mysterious and powerful cultivator. However, he didn''t expect him to be one of the five guardians of the Purple stone world. Also, he always knew that Elder Boron knew about his parents or he owes them or something like that because he always took care of him when he was in the Silver Orphanage. So, he was waiting for this day for a year. "You three also need to hear this. After this, you need to make a decision and whatever decision you take, think it thoroughly." Elder Boron didn''t start exining the origins of Ajax; instead, he looked at Jason and others and warned them about something. "Yes, Elder Boron." The three of them also knew that a day woulde where they would have to repay the kindness of Elder Boron, who not only saved them in the Cursed Wilderness, he even trained them with a lot of cultivation resources and techniques. So, there was no hesitation as they nodded their heads with serious looks. ''Huh? Why did they be so serious all of a sudden?'' Ajax was confused by the sudden change of expression on the faces of his old friends; however, he didn''t think much about it and concluded, ''Looks like they didn''t have an easy time with the Elder Boron.'' Even though Ajax didn''t see how Elder Boron trained his old friends, he knew how strict the Elder Boron would be when ites to training as he had already experienced it when he was around five years old. Just thinking about it made Ajax shudder; however, he was grateful for that painful training by Elder Boron which helped him a lot in his cultivation in enduring pain whenever his cultivation level upgraded. "Ajax, your parents are still alive." Elder Boron tried his best to put a calm look on his face as he informed Ajax about his parents. ''...'' Ajax became excited for a moment; however, his excitement disappeared in an instant. ''If they are alive, why would they abandon me?'' ''Did they get into trouble and could not afford to take me with them?'' ''What is their rtionship with Elder Boron?'' ''If they are really in trouble, can''t Elder Boron solve it for them instead of asking him to protect me?'' ''Damn it.'' All of a sudden, so many questions started appearing in his head which made him worry, disappointed, angry and sad. Ajax didn''t expect his parents to be still alive as he only wanted to know who they were and why would they abandon him in front of an orphanage? Now, he was havingplex feelings in his heart as he didn''t know how to react. "Please continue, Elder Boron." However, Ajax wanted to hear more about his parents and wanted to learn the reason why they abandoned him. "I know your head is filled with many questions; however, I can''t answer all of them at the moment." Elder Boron already expected Ajax''sck of excitement. Nevertheless, he continued saying, "However, I will tell you the reason why they have to leave you in my care." "Your parents were ambushed by the four guardians of the Purple stone world while exploring one of the ancient inheritance grounds." Elder Boron heaved a long sigh as he reminisced about the past. "What?" "Ambushed by the guardians of the Purple stone world?" "Why would they do it?" "Aren''t guardians supposed to protect the residents of the Purple stone world?" Ajax and his old friends were momentarily shocked when they heard Elder Boron''s words as they hurriedly asked Elder Boron a few questions. "Because they fear your father and the greed to covet the treasure found by your father in the ancient inheritance grounds increased." Elder Boron became angry when he said those words, making the young cultivators once again surprised. "What? They fear my father?" Ajax was surprised as he looked at Elder Boron wondering whether he was telling the truth or lying. "Does that mean, my father is the Emperor of the Purple stone world?" It didn''t take much time for Ajax toe to this conclusion because in this world, the guardians feared only one entity and it was the emperor of the Purple stone world. "Yes. Vaugh Spiriteye, the first sect leader of the Heavenly heart sect and the emperor of the Purple stone world, is your father." Finally, Elder Boron revealed the name of Ajax''s father with a proud look on his face as he continued, "And I am his master and father inw¡­.Haha." Elder Boron seemed very proud because it was an achievement to train such a powerful student, whoter became his son inw. "Are you telling me that you are my¡­" "Yes. I am your grandfather, Boron Peacevale¡­haha." Elder Boronughed out loud, even more, when he re-introduced himself as though he wanted to do that for a very long time. "Gr..grandfather?" Ajax was a little embarrassed for some reason as he looked at Elder Boron. "..." Jason and others were surprised a little; however, after staying with Elder Boron for a while, they guessed that Elder Boron and Ajax definitely had a blood rtion. So, they were not surprised that much. However, they were happy for Ajax because Ajax had a family unlike them who cares about him a lot. "You can call me that only when we are alone and with those three brats. When there are others, you better call me Elder Boron or Sir Guardian." Elder Boron controlled his excitement as he asked Ajax to take note of something. "Okay." Ajax wanted to hug his grandfather; however, something was stopping him as he nodded his head. However, in the next second, his grandfather hugged him and apologized, "Sorry for making you grow alone." Chapter 1335 Events of the Past

Chapter 1335 Events of the Past

Elder Boron felt sad to see his son grow as an orphan and he knew that apologizing to him now would seem like an excuse. However, he was really sorry about that. "Elder¡­Grandpa, there is no need to say that. I know there must be a reason for you to remain silent about my origins. Can you tell me why?" When Ajax learned that Elder Boron was his biological grandfather, he was angry for not telling him about that sooner and making him survive in this world on his face. Nevertheless, he knew Elder Boron would not do something without a good reason and he guessed there must be a pretty good reason. So, he asked about it after hesitating a little. "Even though your father asked me to tell you this after you be a King realm cultivator, I guess, I guess you already have enough power to know the truth of what happened 16 years ago." Elder Boron looked at Ajax for a moment and took a deep breath before nodding his head. Elder Boron felt that Ajax would hate him for making him suffer alone in this world when his family is still alive; however, he didn''t expect Ajax to be mature enough to understand that there was a reason behind why he had to do what he did. So, he decided to tell the truth not because Ajax was powerful enough; instead, he felt Ajax had matured. "As I said earlier, the four guardians ambushed your parents and confident enough to kill them with their strength and traps theyid; however, what they didn''t expect was your mother was also an Emperor realm cultivator and what''s more she is more powerful than your father, the emperor of the Purple stone world, shocking me, and the other guardians." Elder Boron was havingplex feelings as he said those words because he never knew that his daughters were hiding her strength all long until that moment. "What? My mother is stronger than my father, who is the emperor of the Purple stone world?" Ajax was surprised for a moment as he excitedly asked Elder Boron about it. "Yes. Everyone was shocked except for your father¡­that basta¡­" Elder Boron became furious all of a sudden; however, he suppressed his emotions as he continued, "With the help of your mother, your father injured the four guardians to the point where their bodies were beyond recognizable. So, they escape with their Emperor soul." "Emperor Soul?" The young cultivators raised their brows as this was their first time hearing that word. "For now, just remember that it is simr to cultivator''s soul for king realm cultivators; however, the Emperor soul is an upgraded version of the cultivator''s soul for the Emperor realm cultivators." "With the help of the Emperor''s soul, it is possible to regenerate their bodies; however, it will take a lot of time. So, most cultivators prefer to take over the body of a talented youngster." Elder Boron didn''t want to exin more about the Emperor''s souls because it was still too soon for them to learn about those things because they were yet to be the King realm cultivators. ''Oh'' Ajax and others were surprised once again as he felt like bing an Emperor realm cultivator will give them immortality because as long as their soul is intact, they can regenerate their own bodies. "Even if they want to take control of the talented young cultivator''s bodies, it will take a lot of time¡­at least a couple of decades." Elder Boron looked at Ajax and others as he gave the rough estimation of taking control over a talented young cultivator''s body. "So, are you telling us that there are no guardians in the Purple stone world other than you?" Ajax raised his brows as he suddenly thought of something else. "Yes. There is only one guardian in the Purple stone world right now. As for the others, they might be hiding in some corner of the world waiting for revenge." Elder Boron nodded his head with a serious look on his face. "Then what about my parents? Didn''t you say they are alive?" Ajax asked Elder Boron because he still didn''t know the reason why they abandoned him because they clearly won against the four guardians of the Purple stone world. "When your parents were ambushed by the four guardians of the world regarding an ancient artifact, powerful cultivators from the other human and spirit beast worlds had entered the Purple stone world." "What? Powerful cultivators from other worlds?" The four young cultivators were confused as they didn''t expect the powerful cultivators from the other worlds would appear in the Purple stone world. "Yes." Elder Boron nodded his head as he continued, "The powerful cultivators from the greater world looked down on the cultivators from this world and they stated the reason for their visit was to recruit your mother into their organization because of her special body constitution which she revealed on that day to fight against the guardians." "At the same time, their eyes fell on the ancient artifact found by your father." "Of course, your mother didn''t ept the offer because you are still a few months old. As for your father, the ancient artifact has already connected with him and the only way for him to part with it was to destroy his physical body." "Soon, the fight between your parents and the powerful emperor realm cultivators from the greater worlds started. As for me, I was already injured when fighting the guardians and all I could do was take you away from that ce as your parents used their bodies to kill the powerful cultivators by taking them into outer space." Elder Boron felt a little relieved by the time he finished his words as he looked at Ajax with eyes filled with tears. "Did¡­didn''t you tell me they were alive?" Even though he didn''t see his parents, Ajax''s heart ached when he heard they self-destructed to kill the powerful cultivators from the greater worlds. **** Reblex, thanks for the DRAGON. Chapter 1336 Learning the truth

Chapter 1336 Learning the truth

Since Elder Boron said his parents were still alive, Ajax asked about them while thinking, ''I guess, they are regenerating their bodies from their Emperor souls.'' Even though taking over the bodies of other cultivators was much faster than regenerating the new bodies, Ajax didn''t dare to imagine his parents would do such a thing. "Yes. They are alive in a ce that even I don''t know where." Elder Boron nodded his head and at the same time, he shook his head. "What? Then how can I m¡­." "For now, you can''t meet your parents as they are currently hiding." Before Ajax could finish his words, he was interrupted by Elder Boron as he continued, "As they killed the powerful cultivators representing the various organizations from the other worlds, they need to hide somewhere as they regenerate their bodies." ''Hiding?'' Ajax raised his brows as he clenched his fists in anger as he felt the same helplessness he felt when the orphans in the Silver orphanage were massacred. ''I need strength¡­I need to be powerful. Much more powerful than the current me.'' He tried his best to suppress his anger as he wanted to learn more about the past. "Our Purple stone world is the weakest normal world; however, it is rarely invaded by the demonspared to the other normal worlds because of those powerful organisations keeping an eye on this world." "The moment they sense a powerful or rare energy in this world, they would send their representative to check it out." Elder Boron looked at Ajax and others who were carefully listening to his words as he continued, "Currently, other than me, who is still recovering from my injuries from that time, there were no other guardians left to protect this world. So, those organizations are openly eying the Purple stone world." ''Only one emperor realm cultivator? An injured one at that.'' After hearing Elder Boron''s words, Ajax raised his brows as he continued thinking, ''The demon invasion is going to be more difficult than I thought. But I can''t give up now as I want to be the Protector of the Purple stone world even more now.'' Since his father was the Emperor of the Purple stone world, Ajax wanted to be one. For him, bing an Emperor of the Purple stone world didn''t require him to be an Emperor realm cultivator. All he needs to do is stop the uing demon invasion and he would be the Protector of the Purple stone world. As long as he became the protector of the Purple stone world, he could do so many things like stopping the cultivators from the other worlds to be involved in the matters of the Purple stone world, his revenge against the Assassin sect and unifying the entire Purple stone world without any barrier between the provinces. "So the reason why I had to grow up as an orphan was because of those powerful cultivators who might use me to make my parentse out of their hiding ce to give the ancient artifact to them, right?" Ajax stopped worrying about the uing demon invasion and replied to Elder Boron regarding the reason why he was abandoned. "That is one of the reasons." Elder Boron nodded his head at Ajax''s words. "One of the reasons? What are the other reasons?" Ajax was confused as he hurriedly asked Elder Boron about the other reasons. "Just like your parents, the four guardians of the Purple stone world escaped with their Emperor souls and they were very furious about your parents and they also knew about you." Elder Boron didn''t keep Ajax and others in suspense for very long as he continued, "I don''t know about other guardians but ''Patriarch of Nightmares'' had his eyes on another artifact that your father used to have. He noticed your father cing that artifact pendant in your neck." "Also, he was the most impatient one among the guardians. So, I had to hide you from him as he had connections with the demon race." Elder Boron gave Ajax another reason why his identity was kept secret. "What? One of the guardians has connections with the demon race?" Everyone was shocked for a moment; however, when they thought about how the four guardians betrayed the emperor of the world for the ancient artifact, they felt it was not shocking for the guardians to have connections with the demon race. "..." However, Ajax felt his entire world was copsing when he heard thest words of Elder Boron. ''Isn''t the ''Patriarch of nightmares'' creating the assassin sect in this world?'' ''That means, the attack on the Silver orphanage was also done under his orders? Does that mean, I am the reason behind the massacre?'' ''Aarrgh'' Ajax fell to his knees as he started ming himself for the massacre in the Silver orphanage. ''Just because of an artifact? No¡­the artifact is not an ordinary one. But...killing the innocent orphans¡­.isn''t it¡­'' Ajax clutched his head as he felt his heart and head ache in pain. ''Until now, I was ming the assassin sect¡­but if there is no artifact to begin with then all those orphans would have been still alive, right?'' Even though Ajax killed millions of demons, thousands of spirit beasts and the humanoid spirit beasts, the massacre of the innocent orphans was a little too much for him to handle. "Ajax, stop ming yourself. It is not your fault." How could Elder Boron not know what Ajax was thinking in his head? He was already expecting Ajax''s reaction after learning the truth behind the massacre of the Silver orphanage. However, Ajax is bound to learn it sooner orter. So, he was not regretting telling Ajax the truth. "Wherever that artifact is, it is bound to create the unnecessary bloodshed and your father carried that burden and passed it to you as the inheritance. Until you be strong enough, you should not reveal the existence of those artifacts and your identity." Elder Boron held Ajax in his hands as he woke Ajax up from his endless thoughts. Chapter 1337 Contract with a world spirit?

Chapter 1337 Contract with a world spirit?

"Why¡­why didn''t you stop the massacre?" "Why didn''t you save anyone on that night?" "Where were you? What were you doing?" Ajax med himself for the massacre that happened in the Silver Orphanage; however, when he remembered Elder Boron''s cultivation realm, he shouted at Elder Boron. With the cultivation of the Emperor realm, Elder Boron would not have any problem in travelling any part of the Purple stone world. Also, Elder Boron told that he was secretly protecting Ajax from his birth. So, Ajax felt even more angry at Elder Boron for being not there at the Silver Orphanage on that night. If he was there, the assassins would have been killed with a single wave from Elder Boron''s hand. "I¡­I¡­had to be away from you for a while because of the cultivators from the other worlds." Elder Boron was also troubled at this but he didn''t regret leaving Ajax for a few years. ''Even if I went back into the past, I would have made the same decision.'' He silently thought in his head as he looked at Ajax before falling to his knees. "Sigh" Hearing Elder Boron''s reply, Ajax didn''t know what to do because ording to what he knew about Elder Boron, he was not someone who would leave behind some innocent kids to death intentionally. So, other than sighing, he could do nothing. "You must have your own troubles, grandpa. Thank you for secretly protecting me all these years." It took some time for Ajax to control his emotions and Elde Boron patiently waited before hearing those words from Ajax. Ajax knew that Elder Boron was secretly keeping an eye on him after reading the scroll he sent through Keshe in the past. So, he was thankful for it. "It is my duty as your grandfather." Elder Boron cleared the tears in his eyes. "But, I still don''t understand why you hid all these things from me until now, Elder Boron? You could have acted like strangers." Jason asked Elder Boron after some hesitation. Even though Jason, Damon and Hector treat Elder Boron as a strict master, they were a lot closer to him and they look. So, Jason was able to raise a doubt from Elder Boron''s exnation. "Looks like Ipletely focused on training your bodies and souls and forgot about your brains. After thispetition, let''s focus on your brains. What do you say?" Elder Boron shook his head as he continued, "If I tell him all these things at the age of six, his head would have beenpletely filled with revenge against those powerful cultivators from the other world and he would have turned into a monster who only wants revenge." "In the process of revenge, he would either die or lose his true self..." "....Currently, even though he is not strong enough to take over the Purple stone world or go against the powerful cultivators from the other worlds, he is mature enough to know what to do." Without waiting for the young cultivators to reply, Elder Boron gave a big speech which made everyone understand why he didn''t tell all these things Ajax until now. "I will not tell you what to do; however, I suggest you be as powerful as possible and find your parents. I hope they are in the Purple stone world because it will be easier for you to find them when you be the emperor of the Purple stone world and form a contract with the world spirit." Elder Boron''s voice was low as he indirectly suggested Ajax be the Emperor of the Purple stone world as soon as possible to form the contract with the world spirit. As long as one forms a contract with the world spirit, it will be easier to find his parent''s souls. "Forming a contact with the world spirit? Isn''t it tougher than bing an Emperor realm cultivator?" Hector asked Elder Boron with a question mark on his face. Until now, there was no one who formed the contract with the world spirit of the Purple stone world. Even the previous emperor, Ajax''s father was unable to do it for some reason. From this, one can understand how difficult it was to form a contract with the world spirit. "Yes. However, it might not be difficult for Ajax." Elder Boron revealed a slight smile on his face as he replied to the young cultivators with a confident look on his face. "Huh? Why is it not difficult for me?" Ajax raised his brows as he asked Elder Boron about it. Even though Ajax didn''t know the conditions to form a contract with the world spirit of the Purple stone world, he was not worried much about it. Because as long as he stops the uing demon invasion, he would be the protector of the world where the world spirit would listen to his orders. ''Does he know about the system? Right, he said it was an artifact given to me by my father. So, he must know how it works.'' In the next moment, Ajax thought about Elder Boron knowing about the system and that''s the reason why he was confident in Ajax forming the contract with the world spirit. "I don''t know, but your father mentioned that if there is anyone who would form the contract with the world spirit, it will be you." Elder Boron informed Ajax about his father''s words to him. "Oh" Ajax nodded his head as others congratted him. "Grandpa, is it regarding the artifact given to me by my father?" Ajax smiled at his friends as he asked Elder Boron about the artifact. "I don''t know much about that artifact; however, I do know about something." Elder Boron shook his head as he continued, "When you were born, something unexpected happened that shook the entire Purple stone world. In a sense, the guardians feared you because of that unexpected situation." "Huh? What unexpected situation?" Ajax and others were surprised and curious as they asked Elder Boron about it. Chapter 1338 [Bonus chapter]Special Birth

Chapter 1338 [Bonus chapter]Special Birth

Ajax and others were curious about the unexpected situation because what makes the emperor realm cultivators fear an infant? So, of course, they wanted to know what happened at the time of Ajax''s birth. "When he was born, the entire Purple stone world shook, the barriers between the provinces disappeared, hundreds of inheritance grounds were opened, thousands of treasures formed." Elder Boron had a look of excitement as he continued to exin to the young cultivators about the unexpected situation, "Overall, it made the entire Purple stone world topsy-turvy in a positive way." "What?" The young cultivators were shocked when they heard the events that happened in the Purple stone world when Ajax was born as they looked at him as though he was a monster. If any of those events happened when they were born, they would have been excited; however, many of such events happened on the day Ajax was born. So, of course, they were envious of Ajax for such a special birth. "..." As for Ajax, he waspletely speechless because he didn''t expect that his birth would cause soo many good events in the Purple stone world. "Actually, the unexpected event was not any of the events I mentioned earlier." Elder Boron still had a huge smile on his face as he continued, "On the day, the world spirit appeared in front of Ajax." ''What?'' ''World spirit? Are you saying the world spirit of the Purple stone world?'' ''What did the world spirit say?'' Jason and others asked the spontaneous questions that came to their heads without thinking much because they were so shocked when they heard the appearance of the world spirit in front of Ajax. ''The world spirit of the Purple stone world appeared on that day?'' Ajax was also shocked as he looked at Elder Boron waiting for him to tell what happened afterwards. Until now, Ajax was thinking that he was a regr child without any speciality and if not for the aritifact aka system, he would have not attained his current strength. However, after hearing Elder Boron''s words, Ajax felt excited about such a ''Special birth''. "Yes. The world spirit of the Purple stone world appeared and blessed him by saying his future achievements." Elder Boron nodded his head as he replied to them while maintaining the smile on his face. "Future achievements?" Ajax and others asked Elder Boron in unison. "Yes. Should I tell them to you or keep you in suspense?" The environment around them became light as they were no longer serious about the bad events from the past as they focused mainly on the good events. "Yes¡­yes." Everyone nodded their heads including Ajax as he wanted to know what the world spirit said about him. "I am not going to tell them¡­Haha." All of a sudden, Elder Boron revealed an evil smile on his face as he continued, "You can find out about them in the future anyway. That way, it will be more exciting for both Ajax and you; otherwise, he will be arrogant." Elder Boron didn''t have the intention to reveal Ajax''s future achievements mentioned by the world spirit from the beginning; however, he wanted to make the young cultivators wait until they were fulfilled. "What?" Jason and others became a little angry; however, Ajax shook his head as he knew Elder Boron very well and he was not expecting him to reveal those things to them anyway. "However, there is one thing it mentioned." Elder Boron looked at the angry cultivators as he continued, "As long as Ajax bes a King realm cultivator, the world spirit wille to him and form a contract with him." "What the¡­heavens!" "Really?" "A world spirit will form a contract just like that?" Everyone including Ajax was surprised to hear that as they asked Elder Boron about it with excited looks on their faces. "Yes." Elder Boron replied with a proud look on his face as he continued, "Because of that and his future achievements mentioned by the world spirit, made all the guardians keep an eye on the infant as they started making preparations for an ambush for a perfect opportunity." "So, all Ajax had to do was reach the King realm cultivator and he would be the Emperor of the Purple stone world?" Damon asked Elder Boron with an excited look on his face. The one who formed a contract with the world spirit of a particr world would gain the maximum battle prowess that the world can bear. For example, the protector of a small world is called the King of that small world whereas the protector of a normal world is called the Emperor of that normal world. Here, King and Emperor are not the cultivation of the cultivators; instead, they are the ''Titles'' and they had nothing to do with the cultivation because as long as they are in their world, they would be invincible. Time continued to pass as Elder Boron and Ajax continued to talk about the past. From time to time, Jason and others would also join in their conversations, asking their doubts. However, most of the time, they would only listen silently. After a few hours. "So, is there anything you want to know? You can ask me anything and I will tell you as long as I know about it. Of course, I will exclude some parts because of the promise I made to your father." Elder Boron stretched his body as he asked Ajax whether he still had anything to ask him. "As of now, I have already learned many things. So, I will ask you another time." Ajax shook his head as he already learned about most of the important stuff and even though he still had a few important things he wanted to know, he knew that Elder Boron would not answer them to him. "Good." Elder Boron nodded his head as he asked Jason, Hector and Damon, "Since you already learned about Ajax''s past, it is time for you to make a decision." Chapter 1339 Definition of Follower

Chapter 1339 Definition of Follower

Elder Boron trained Jason and others with a motive and he felt it was finally time for him to know whether his efforts to train them would fulfil his motive or not. "Ajax needs some good and trusted followers who would help him in his journey. So, it is time for you to make a decision as to whether you will help Ajax or just focus on your own journey." Elder Boron''s face was calm as he looked at Jason and others as he asked them to make their decision. "Decision?" Jason and others were not surprised with Elder Boron''s words as they had already expected something simr to this when he was training them using rare and invaluable treasures on them. He saved them, changed their talents, trained them in rare cultivation techniques, helped them undergo many fights in the wilderness and in the other smaller worlds. Not only that, Elder Boron even gave them invaluable cultivation treasures that would make even the top sects and great families envy. So, they have already made a decision long ago that whatever Elder Boron asks them to do, they would do without any hesitation. ''What the¡­'' However, Ajax felt awkward with Elder Boron''s words because he already considered Jason and others as his friends. So, he wanted to say something but he was unable to say anything. ''Ding, The host is temporarily paralyzed by an outside force. It didn''t take much time for Ajax to learn the reason for that as he looked at Elder Boron and thought, ''Looks like he is nning something.'' At the same time, he was also shocked at how powerful Elder Boron was because he didn''t even know he was paralyzed until the system informed him the reason behind hisck of speech. Even though he wanted to tell Jason and others that they don''t have to be his followers; instead, they could continue to stay as friends as usual, he was not in a position to do anything now. So, he looked at Elder Boron to see what he was trying to do with Jason and others. "We will, of course¡­." "Before you give me the answer, I will say something." However, before they could finish their words, Elder Boron interrupted their words as he continued, "There is no need for you to make a decision just because I helped you. Remember this, you don''t owe me anything and even if you chose to not be his followers, I will not hold it against you." "We know you will not hold it against you, Elder Boron." Jason nodded his head with a smile on his face as he continued, "I am willing to be his follower and help him as much as I can in his cultivation journey." "We will do the same." Damon and Hector also nodded their heads as they sincerely replied to Elder Boron before bowing to Ajax. "Good." Hearing those words, Elder Boron was satisfied because he could tell that those words came from the bottom of their hearts and they were not lying at all. "As of today, your traininges to an end and you can brag you are the disciples of a guardian. From now on, you have to follow Ajax and take care of him, protect him from all dangers." Elder Boron looked at Ajax for a moment and said a few words to Jason and others that made the three young cultivators both excited and a little sad. They are excited about gaining the title ''Guardian''s personal disciples'' and they were sad because their training has ended today. Even though Elder Boron''s training was very cruel, it helped them a lot in increasing their battle prowess and they wanted to undergo more training to be even more powerful just like Elder Boron. "Thank you for taking care of us until now, Master." Jason and others gave Elder Boron a deep bow as they thanked him for teaching him how to survive in this world. "Hm" Elder Boron nodded his head without any hesitation as he continued saying, "After this contest, I will be leaving this world. So, don''t look for me when you are in trouble; instead, take care of it on your own. Even if it costs your lives, you have to protect Ajax because the entire Purple stone world''s future depends on Ajax." "If something happens to him, the future of the Purple stone world also disappears as it will be dominated by the organizations from the other worlds." On the surface, Elder Boron looked calm andposed; however, in his heart, he was also a little troubled when he said those words. "Of course, we will protect him, master." All three of them nodded their heads as they looked at Ajax and called, "Master." ''What the..hell. I want friends not followers.'' As for Ajax, he was still paralyzed and unable to speak. "Release" Elder Boron revealed a slight smile on his face as he said a single word which made the paralyzing effect on Ajax disappear. "Grandpa, what are you doing? I want friends not followers." As he was waiting to say these words for a while but couldn''t because of the paralyzing effect. So, when the effect disappeared, he shouted out loud. "Ajax, even though I made them your followers, it depends on you on how you will treat them and how they treat them." Elder Boron didn''t want to exin much; however, he ended up giving an example. "Even though your father is my disciple and son-inw, when he became the emperor of the Purple stone world, I became his follower." "Do you think being a follower is a lowly status? If you think so, then you need to change your perspective." "A follower is someone who will stay with you through thick and thin, support your decisions and ideals, and in the end, he will help you aplish those ideals." "The more followers you have, the sooner and easier it will be for you to aplish those ideals." Chapter 1340 Friends and Followers are not ’Same’

Chapter 1340 Friends and Followers are not ''Same''

Elder Boron guessed that Ajax thought about being a follower. So, he continuously said one thing after another about being a follower and gave a definition for ''Follower''. ''...'' As for Ajax, he was speechless hearing Elder Boron''s definition of the follower. "As long as you be the Emperor of the world, all the cultivators in the Purple stone world, by default, will be your followers." Elder Boron was a little agitated; however, he controlled his emotions as he continued, "However, not every follower will follow you unconditionally and they might even betray you. So, you need trusted followers who have your back in a fight. Just like how your father had me." After saying that, Elder Boron didn''t say anything more as he remained silent while standing in his ce. "..." Ajax looked at Elder Boron for a moment before replying, "I understood what you are saying, grandpa. I will remember these words." "Good. As long as you remember these words, it is good." Elder Boron was happy that Ajax understood what he was trying to tell. So, he nodded his head. "However, for me, followers, friends and family are not the same and I am not nning to make everyone into my followers." Just as Elder Boron was feeling happy about Ajax''s understanding, Ajaxs''s reply made him speechless. ''Sigh¡­like father, like son. No one can change their minds once they decide. I will let him do whatever he thinks is right as he is no longer a little kid from the orphanage.'' Elder Boron knew that there was nothing he could do and decided to leave it to Ajax. "Brother Jason, Damon and Hector, let''s stay as friends just like before." Ajax was serious when he said these words to Jason and others. "..." Jason and others looked at Elder Boron who remained silent and then looked at Ajax before nodding his head. Just like Elder Boron, they knew that Ajax was stubborn with some things. Nevertheless, they were more than happy to be friends with Ajax not because he was the son of the previous emperor of the Purple stone world; instead, he grew up with them for 14 years and had great memories together as friends. "By the way, I have something to inform you, grandpa." There wasplete silence for a few minutes before Ajax said to Elder Boron while maintaining a serious look on his face. "Huh?" Elder Boron raised his brows as he looked at Ajax and asked, "What is it?" "There will be a demon invasion on the Ylercester province at any time now." Until now, Ajax waspletely immersed in learning his past and forgot about the demon invasion for a while. So, when there wasplete silence around them, Ajax suddenly thought of the demonic invasion and wanted to inform Elder Boron because he was the current strongest cultivator in the Purple stone world. "What? A demon invasion on the Ylercester province?" Elder Boron became a little furious as he looked at Ajax and replied, "Don''t worry. I will take care of it." "Even though I am not in my peak form, I can handle the demon invasions without any problems." Elder Boron was furious but he remained calm because he had handled hundreds of demonic invasions in his life. So, he was not worried much about it. Moreover, unlike the previous invasion, this time he knew about the demon invasions. So, he could even make some good preparations for the demon invasion. "I know you are not new to the demon invasions in the Purple stone world; however, I don''t think you can handle this demon invasion, grandpa." Ajax said in a low voice fearing that he might make Elder Boron furious because he knew Elder Boron was a short-tempered cultivator. "What did you say?" As expected, Elder Boron became furious as he shouted at Ajax, "I can''t handle a demon invasion? Really? Grandson, you underestimate a lot, don''t you?" "It''s nothing like that." Ajax didn''t get used to calling Elder Boron using ''Grandpa''. So, he avoided using ''Grandpa'' and tried to calm Elder Boron. "The demon invasion this time is huge. It starts with Ylercester province; however, their n topletely dominate the Purple stone world with this invasion." Ajax exined the important points about the demon invasion as he knew Elder Boron would not listen to everything he said when he was angry. "What? nning to conquer the entire Purple stone world in a single invasion? Impossible." Elder Boron calmed down a little; however, when he thought about it, he felt it was impossible and he red again. From ancient times, there were countless demon invasions and invasions from other races; however, the main goal of these invasions was to kill as many powerful cultivators in the Purple stone world as possible. Among these countless demon invasions, some of them seeded in their invasions; however, it was not enough topletely dominate the Purple stone world. So, Elder Boron felt it was impossible to conquer the entire Purple stone world in a single sweep unless multiple greater worlds wanted to conquer it. "Yes. The five demon emperors are sending three of their personal apostles each. So, there will be a total of 15 demon emperors." Ajax nodded his head and continued, "Currently, I guess your cultivation is around the low-level emperor realm as well because of your injuries; however, I think you can handle at least five of them." He didn''t waste any time as he went a little deeper in exining about the demon invasion, making Elder Boron raise his brows. "How do you know all these things?" Elder Boron was shocked for a moment as he continued, "Is it because of the artifact that your father gave? No, it is not possible." For a moment, Elder Boron thought that the system aka artifact that Ajax received from his father, informed him about all these things; however, when he thought a little deeper about these things, he shook his head and rejected them without thinking much. Chapter 1341 Elder Boron’s knowledge of the System

Chapter 1341 Elder Boron''s knowledge of the System

Even though Elder Boron didn''t know much about the system, he had enough knowledge about it and he also knew what it could do and what it could not do. So, he looked at Ajax waiting for Ajax''s reply regarding where he learned all these things about the five demon emperors and personal demon apostles. "I got to know about all these things from my ves." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Elder Boron. "ves? Which ve has so much knowledge about the demon worlds and the demon emperors?" Elder Boron raised his brows as he asked Ajax about the ves. "Some golden demon kings came to kill me but I defeated them and made them in my ves." Ajax didn''t hide anything as he exined everything that happened on the day the barriers between the provinces disappeared for a brief moment. "What? You made golden demon kings into your ves?" Elder Boron and the three young cultivators were shocked when they heard Ajax''s reply. "So, you are able to defeat them because of their sealed cultivation in the Zrochester province." However, after thinking about it, Elder Boron didn''t find it was such a hard thing for Ajax. "Yes. Also, I threatened to kill the younger golden demon king to force them into making a master-ve contract with me." Ajax nodded his head as he exined the main reason on how he was able to do it. "Looks like those two golden demon kings were special." As a guardian of the Purple stone world, Elder Boron fought the demon armies countless times; however, he was unable to turn a single demon into a ve and he knew the exact reason why he was unable to do it. Generally, the demonscked family bonds and didn''t care much about anything. Moreover, the demon emperors would brainwash them to fight to the death before the invasion. So, it was almost impossible to make them turn against the demon race. "So, what are you thinking of doing now?" Elder Boron stopped thinking about Ajax''s feat of turning the gold demon kings into his ves, he asked what he was going to do. If his guess was right, Ajax must have already prepared some n to fight the demon invasion. So, he was curious about it. "What else? I am nning to stop the invasion." There was no dy in Ajax''s reply as he gave Elder Boron a direct reply, leaving Elder Boron and others speechless. "Actually, I didn''t have much confidence in stopping the demon invasion because handling 15 demon kings werepletely out of my capability." Ajax was not embarrassed to say that he was not powerful enough to stop the demon invasion; instead, he decided to try his best in stopping the demon invasion and deal as much damage as possible to the demons. "However, after meeting you, I feel like we can stop the uing demon invasion." Ajax revealed a bright smile as he continued, "As a guardian, you can order all the powerful cultivators in the Purple stone world to fight against the demon invasion which can help us in stopping the demon invasion." Until now, Ajax was not confident in stopping the demon invasion because of the 15 demon apostles whose strength was at low-level demon emperor; however, a powerful guardian like Elder Boron, Ajax felt his chances in stopping the demon invasion increased by a lot and at the same time, he could finish his mission. "You are saying that there will be 15 personal demon apostles, right?" Elder Boron thought about it for a while as he revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked Ajax using voice transmission, ''What are the rewards for stopping the demon invasion? Are they good?'' ''Yes, they are very good¡­wait¡­what?'' Ajax replied to Elder Boron unconsciously; however, when he came to his senses, he was shocked as he looked at Elder Boron and asked, ''How do you know that?'' "Sleep" Elder Boron didn''t reply to Ajax directly as he looked at Jason and others who were confused at the sudden change in Ajax''s expression. With a single word, he made them sleep. "Haha¡­" After putting Jason and others to sleep, Elder Boronughed out loud as he continued, "You are asking me how do I know that? Because I am the one who is giving those items." "What? What does that mean?" Ajax thought about something; however, he was not convinced by his assumption. So, he asked Elder Boron to exin him clearly. "I know a few things about the artifact and what it is capable of and what it is not." Elder Boron stoppedughing as he exined, "It can increase your cultivation easily, give you some missions and onpleting those missions, you will be rewarded ordingly. It also has a good storage space which is almost infinite. It has an inbuilt battle tower, an inner world¡­what else?" "Grandpa, so, you knew so much about the artifacts but why do you keep saying that you only know a little bit?" Ajax already learned the fact that Elder Boron knows about the artifact; however, he didn''t expect that Elder Boron knew so much about the artifact. Basically, Elder Boron said almost all the features he unlocked so far in the system, making Ajaxpletely speechless. "Because I only know a little bit about that artifact and there is so much to learn about it." Elder Boron seriously imed once again that he only knew a little bit about the system. "You call this much information about the artifact ''Little bit''?" Ajax was surprised and wanted to ask about something; however, when he thought about the system, he realized, ''That''s right! So far, I unlocked features; however, it doesn''t mean they are the only features in the system.'' ''There might be more features to it in the future which might gradually unlock as my strength progresses.'' When he thought about it, Ajax felt there was another thing he was looking forward to and it was the new features in the system. Chapter 1342 Truth behind the items from System

Chapter 1342 Truth behind the items from System

"I believe your words." ording to the knowledge he received from the system about itself, Ajax knew there was so much he needed to learn about the system on his own. So, he agreed with Elder Boron''s words regarding his knowledge about the system. "Of course, you have to." Elder Boron nodded his head as he asked a question, "However, do you know where the system gets all the items it gives to you?" "No." Ajax shook his head without thinking much because he had already thought about it thousands of times regarding the items he received from the system; however, he was unable to find anything about it. "Have you ever wondered about it?" Elder Boron asked another question; however, before Ajax could nod his head, Elder Boron continued saying, "Some of the items you received from the system are left behind by your father and mother for you." "By my father?" Ajax was surprised only for a moment; however, he had already thought of that possibility. So, he replied, "I knew it. Only parents can leave behind such good items for me." Previously, Ajax was a little angry at his parents for abandoning him in front of the orphanage; however, after learning the situation of his parents, he was no longer angry towards them and wanted to be powerful to stop the powerful cultivators from hurting his parents. Now, after learning about the items left behind by his parents for him, he felt warm and wanted to see them as soon as possible. "Ahem" However, Elder Boron made a sound to catch Ajax''s attention and he was sessful at it. "Elder Boron, do you have anything else to say?" Ajax asked Elder Boron because he felt Elder Boron still had something to say. "Don''t you have anything else to ask? Think carefully." Elder Boron wanted to hit Ajax a few times; however, he controlled his anger as he asked Ajax to remember whether he was forgetting about something. "Huh?" Ajax thought about it for a few moments before saying, "That''s right! I still have something to ask." "Good. Ask what you want to know." Elder Boron''s mood became happy and before Ajax could ask him a question, he started answering, "The remaining items are¡­" "Who created the artifact?" However, just as Elder Boron started exining, Ajax asked a question that was not what Elder Boron was expecting. "Wait¡­you want to ask about the creator of the artifact?" Elder Boron became a little serious as he looked at Ajax as he continued, "You don''t have anything else to ask?" "Yes. I want to know about the creator of the artifact? You must know him, right?" Ajax was a little confused why Elder Boron was continuously asking him to ask a question. Even when he asked a question, Elder Boron was asking him to think about whether he was forgetting a question. "Wait¡­" All of a sudden, Ajax realized what he forgot and looked at Elder Boron for a moment before saying, "What about the other items I received by the system?" Even though he asked, Ajax guessed that it was Elder Boron who put the items he received from the system. "It is me who collected the items and sent them to the artifact and I am still doing it." Elder Boron was proud as he informed Ajax about it. "You are sending me those items?" Ajax was a little bit surprised when he heard Elder Boron''s words. Even though Ajax already guessed it was Elder Boron who put the remaining items in the system inventory, he didn''t expect he was doing it even when he was not with Ajax. "How are you sending the items you are collecting to the artifact?" Ajax knew he owed his grandpa a lot and he could not never fully repay it in his life. However, now, he knew his grandfather was doing a lot of things for his sake. So, he could not help but feel warm in his head. Nevertheless, he didn''t forget to ask how he was able to send all those items to him withouting to him. "I don''t know how, but as long as I think about you while holding an item, it will disappear from my hands." Elder Boron didn''t leave Ajax in suspense as he exined, "ording to your father, those items will be given to you when that artifact thinks you need it. Of course, you have toplete the mission the artifact gives you." "Oh." Even though it was not clear, Ajax could trust that the system waspletely capable of doing something like that. So, he nodded his head. "So, the world cores are also from you? You are capable of retrieving the world cores from the core realm?" Ajax asked about the world cores because even if a cultivator has the Emperor realm cultivation, it was very difficult to retrieve a world core from the core realm. So, he asked whether Elder Boron had such an ability to retrieve. "I got that ability very recently thanks to the artifact. Even though I am not the artifact owner, it still gives me some benefits. So, I am more active in collecting good and rare cultivation resources for you. It is like catching two birds at once." Elder Boron was not jealous of Ajax; instead, he was grateful because he also receives the benefits whenever he gives the items to the system depending on the items. "I''m happy to hear that." Ajax felt relieved when he heard that Elder Boron also receives benefits because of the artifact and felt happy about it. "I did that same thing when your father was using that artifact but I never received such benefits; however, it was different when you were using it. So, I am very active in collecting world cores." Elder Boron exined something about the artifact as he continued saying while pointing his finger at Jason and others, "What''s more, I even made your three friends in conquering some demon worlds to retrieve the world cores." Chapter 1343 Origins of the System

Chapter 1343 Origins of the System

As a part of training for Jason and others, Elder Boron took them to some smaller demon and devil worlds to destroy. Of course, the part where removing the world core from the core realm of the worlds was left to Elder Boron as he was the only one who could retrieve them. "Oh. No wonder, the system is giving me more and more smaller world cores recently." Ajax thought about the time when he received back to back world cores from the system; however, they were all smaller world cores, so he didn''t make much progress in his cultivation. Nevertheless, he was grateful to Elder Boron, Jason and others for helping him even when they were not with him. "As for your other question ''Who created the artifact?'' is, I don''t know." Elder Boron didn''t waste any time as he answered Ajax''s earlier question as he continued, "However, I am sure about one thing though." "Huh?" Ajax was a little disappointed when he heard Elder Boron''s reply to his question; however, he became curious when he heard thetter part of Elder Boron''s words. Soo, he asked, "What is it, Grandpa?" "Initially, that artifact was not great; however, your father did something to it, turning it into apletely different artifact." Elder Boron thought back to the time he took Ajax''s father Vaugh as his disciple and recalled a few incidents after that as he exined to Ajax, "I don''t know what he did or how he did it, all I can say that, your father has yed a good part in creating this new artifact." "My father created the system?" Ajax was shocked for a moment as he felt insanely curious regarding his father. He was using the system for a while now and he knew how heaven-defying it was. So, he felt a little hard to believe that a human can create such a heaven-defying artifact. What''s more, judging from Elder Boron''s words, Ajax was sure that his father was still a cultivator below the King realm when he made changes to the artifact to make it into a new artifact aka system. "Anyway, what is the reward for stopping the demon invasion?" As for Elder Boron, he still had a lot of questions for his disciple cum son-inw; however, he was sure that Vaugh was not bad. So, he decided to wait until Vaugh exined his story on his own. Nevertheless, right now, he was more interested in the reward from the system for Ajax for stopping the demon invasion. "As long as I am sessful in stopping the demon invasion, then I will be the Emperor of the Purple stone world." Since Ajax knew that Elder Boron was the one who was supplying the items for the system all this time, he decided to be honest with the reward. Moreover, he felt Elder Boron would try his best in stopping the demon invasion if he knew the reward for that mission. "Emperor of the Purple stone world? Wait¡­.what?" Elder Boron didn''t realize fully about the reward; however, when he realized it, he was shocked and looked at Ajax in a different light. "Are you telling me that you will be the emperor of the Purple stone world with your current cultivation? Is that even possible?" Elder Boron felt it was not possible to be the Emperor of a world with such low cultivation. Because who would listen to the orders of a young man who is yet to be the king realm cultivator? What''s more, there are so many enemies among the cultivators of the Purple stone world for the previous emperor. If they find out about Ajax''s rtion with the previous emperor, the support Ajax gets would be iparable to the enemies he would get. So, he was not excited about Ajax bing the emperor of the Purple stone world; instead, he was worried about the dangers. "Ajax, even if the system helps you in bing the emperor of the Purple stone world, I suggest you reconsider it as it would only make things difficult for you." Elder Boron was straightforward with his words as he asked Ajax to reconsider the reward. "Is it because of my cultivation, you are asking me to reconsider bing the emperor of the Purple stone world?" How could Ajax not be seen through Elder Boron? So, he directly asked with a slight smile on his face. "..." Elder Boron was speechless as he looked at the slight smile on Ajax''s face and nodded his head. "Grandpa, I will tell you a secret." Ajax didn''t want to keep his grandfather in suspense for much time. So, he decided to share some of his secrets with him. "Grandpa, will you believe if I tell you with my current capability, I can even kill the low-level demon emperors by surprise?" Ajax didn''t share all his secrets at once as he started with his current capabilities. "What?" Elder Boron was shocked to hear that. That''s right! He was shocked and felt Ajax was just bluffing; however, he knew when Ajax was bluffing and when he was not. "I will not go into the details for now but I will show you what I am capable of in the uing demon invasion." This time, Ajax left Elder Boron in suspense as he continued, "Even without that, if I be the Emperor of the Purple stone world with the help of the system, I will gain the temporary cultivation of the Emperor realm when I am in this world." "So, there is no need for you to worry about it; instead, help me in stopping the demon invasion." Ajax asked Elder Boron to help him with the demon invasion because Elder Boron is the strongest individual in the entirely Purple stone world. As long as he helped him, his chances of stopping the demon invasion would go up by a lot. "Actually, I was nning to go out of the Purple stone world for a while, looks like I have to cancel my side goals and focus on the main goal." Chapter 1344 King Stephen’s worries

Chapter 1344 King Stephen''s worries

Elder Boron assumed that Ajax still needed a lot of time before bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. So, he had nned many things to do in the meanwhile that would help Ajax in increasing his cultivation and battle prowess. However, who would have expected that he was already capable of defeating an Emperor realm cultivator and on the verge of bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world without much support from him anymore. So, he decided to cancel all his side ns and help Ajax directly from now on. ''As long as he bes the Emperor of the Purple stone world, my promise to his parents will be fulfilled and then I can decide what to do with my life.'' The only thing that made Elder Boron move forward until now was the promise he had made with his daughter and son-inw and he didn''t n much after the promise was fulfilled. ''Anyway, I will think about itter. For now, we have to n on stopping the demon invasion.'' Elder Boron stopped thinking about the things in the far future; instead, he wanted to focus on the things in the near future. "So, shall we discuss the n now?" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked Elder Boron. "Yeah" Elder Boron nodded his head and soon, they started discussing the n for the demon invasion. ...¡­ In special quarters given to King Stephen in the Ylercester province. ''Are you going to tell me now or are you still shivering in fear?'' King Stephen was having mixed emotions as he asked his master in his head. Earlier, his master''s voice was shaking with fear with the sudden appearance of Elder Boron; however, his master asked him to stay silent until they returned to their quarters. King Stephen''s head was filled with a lot of questions in his head; however, he knew what his master was worried about. So, he remained calm andposed until now. However, as soon as they returned, King Stephen was unable to keep that attitude any longer as he asked his master to exin everything. ''What do you want to know? I told you everything already.'' His master replied without wasting any time; however, King Stephen could sense that the voice still has a hint of fear in it. ''That''s right! You said everything about what happened back then.'' King Stephen wqas shaking in anger as he asked, ''So, how did the guardian ''Protector of the skies''e back in one piece?'' ''Isn''t he supposed to be like you? Recovering his damaged soul first and then recovering the body?'' ording to the things King Stephen learned from his master, the guardian ''Protector of the skies'' should have been in a worse condition than his master. However, after seeing the guardian in person, King Stephen wanted his master to exin it. ''I don''t know how he was able to recover his soul and body in such a short span.'' The voice in King Stephen''s head replied in a calm tone..at least, he tried to look calm in front of his disciple; however, King Stephen could sense the fear and shock in his master''s voice. ''...'' King Stephen didn''t know what to ask even when his master didn''t know much about it. So, he waited¡­waited for his master to think of something. ''Wait a second.'' As King Stephen was also thinking about the secret behind Elder Boron''s fast recovery along with his master, his master seemed like he thought of something. ''What is it, master?'' King Stephen hurriedly asked about it. ''There is an artifact that the previous emperor used to carry around. No one knows much about that artifact but it is not an ordinary one.'' The voice in King Stephen''s head continued to exin, ''I briefly noticed that the emperor gave the artifact to his newborn child and the Protector of the skies was asked to protect that child.'' ''What? An artifact?'' King Stephen was surprised as he asked, ''So, there is already an artifact with the previous emperor before finding another one in the ancient inheritance grounds.'' ''Yes. Even though the artifact in the newborn child''s neck was not as powerful as the artifact we found in the inheritance grounds, it is an artifact that got the jealousy of the powerful cultivators from the other world.'' ''Lord of water'' exined some things he missed previously to King Stephen in detail as he continued, ''I and another guardian personally fought him and destroyed his body and soul; however, he was able to escape in time with that newborn child. Later, the same thing happened to us, the remaining four guardians by the emperor of the world.'' His voice contained anger and jealousy; however, he still didn''t regret that thing he did with the other guardians on that day. ''If only we were sessful on that day, we would have ascended to the greater human worlds and joined powerful organizations.'' The only thing he regretted was not expecting the emperor''s wife was also an emperor realm cultivator who was more powerful than Vaugh spiriteye. ''Tell me more about that artifact and the son of the emperor.'' As for King Stephen, he became a little curious about the artifact and the emperor''s son. So, he asked his master to tell more details about it. ''ording to the rumour, that artifact was modified by Emperor Vaugh himself and ¡­.'' Just like how Ajax learned everything from Elder Boron, King Stephen learned about the events from the past from his master. However, he was not as lucky as Ajax who got the information in a detailed manner because of Elder Boron''s rtionship with Emperor Vaugh. ''What? Emperor Vaugh was that talented?'' After learning about Emperor Vaugh''s achievements, King Stephen was shocked and soon started worrying about something. ''If that guardian has recovered his soul and body, then what about Emperor Vaugh''s son? Will he have the same talents as Emperor Vaugh? Where is he? What is his cultivation?'' New questions started forming in his head as he asked his master. Chapter 1345 Final round

Chapter 1345 Final round

If the child of the previous emperor was alive, then King Stephen''s goal of bing the emperor of the Purple stone world would be ruined. ''Not only that child has emperor realm cultivators as his parents but he also has the help of some mysterious artifact. Will that child be an obstacle for me?'' King Stephen already guessed that child would be an obstacle for him; however, he wanted to hear his master''s thoughts about that child. ''You don''t need to worry about that child because while I was fighting Protector of the skies, the child''s mental sea was destroyed.'' However, King Stephen''s master doesn''t'' seem like he was worried much about Emperor Vaugh''s son as he continued, ''Even if he got the cultivation talent of his parents, the maximum cultivation realm he could reach in his life will be peak level 10 elite general.'' The cultivation in this world could be divided into two parts. One is before reaching King realm whereas the other one would be after reaching King realm. Before reaching the king realm, a cultivator wouldpletely focus on his spirit consciousness; however, to reach the king realm, they need to unlock their mental sea where their cultivator''s soul could be stored. So, with a broken mental sea, it would be impossible for a cultivator to be a King realm cultivator as there would be no ce for him or her to store their cultivator''s soul. ''What? You damaged the mental sea of that child?'' King Stephen was surprised as he had an unbelievable look on his face. Even though it sounded very simple, destroying or damaging the mental sea of a cultivator is very difficult unless you have strong soul attacks. ''Actually, it was not intentional as it happened while I was busy fighting Protector of the skies.'' Lord of water didn''t take pride in hurting the mental sea of the child; however, at the same time, he didn''t regret it as he found some pleasure in hurting someone close to Emperor Vaugh before his body was destroyed by him. ''Oh. Is that so?'' King Stephen was excited as he already started walking a path that most cultivators were not fond of. So, he didn''t feel sad about that child at all. ''Anyway, I sensed another guardian for a brief moment. Do you want to meet him?'' As they continued to talk about Emperor Vaugh and the events from the past, the Lord of water informed King Stephen something unexpected. ''Really? Who is it?'' King Stephen remembered the promise his master made to him where he would help him learn the signature technique andbat styles from the other guardians except for the Protector of skies, of course. ''Patriarch of Nightmares, also known as the Ancestor of the assassin sect.'' Stephen''s master replied without wasting any time as he exined the problem, ''However, I only sensed his presence for a moment from one of the participants promoted to the final round.'' ''What?'' Once again King Stephen worried because if other guardians have their own personal disciples, they might not be willing to teach their signature techniques to the disciples of other guardians that easily. ''Stop worrying about such things. Leave such matters to me, your invincible master.'' Lord of water bragged about his capabilities and asked King Stephen to not worry much about it. ''Okay, master. But, how are you going to find in whose body that guardian ''Patriarch of Nightmares'' is staying?'' King Stephen knew that he could trust his master despite the fact his master is not truly invincible. So, he asked how he wqas going to find who is hosting ''Patriarch of Nightmares''. ''It is very easy to find. Anyway, for now, just rx as the final round of the contest will start at any moment now.'' ''Okay'' King Stephen nodded his head as he was looking forward to the final stage while thinking about his future. At the same time, he didn''t forget about his daughter and how to use her for his future. Because Elder Boron was protecting her, King Stephen was unable to talk to his daughter as she didn''t want to talk. Soo, all he could do right now was grit his teeth and think of a way to talk to his daughter. .... Time continued to pass and in a sh another few hours passed by. An announcement was made regarding the contest''s final round. "Swoosh" Soon, the colosseum was filled with cultivators as they settled in their ces without wasting much time. "Everyone, are you ready for the final round of the contest?" The old minister resumed his usual ce as he looked at all the onlookers and the 15 participants, asking whether they were ready for the final round. "Yes." Everyone nodded their heads as he could not wait to see what the final round of the contest was about. "The final round of the contest ispletely different from what it used to be from the previous contests." The old man looked at Elder Boron for a moment as he continued, "The arena for the final round is the entire Ylercester province; however, it will start from the center of the Colosseum." ''Huh?'' Everyone raised their brows except for Ajax and his three friends, Jason, Hector and Damon. "ording to the intel received by our guardian ''Protector of the skies'' and the three protectors, the demon race will invade the Ylerecester province in an hour. So, these 15 participants will be responsible to stop the demon invasion and protecting the Ylercester province." The old minister hesitated a little before informing everyone about the demon invasion. ''What?'' ''Demon invasion?'' ''15 young cultivators are responsible for stopping the demon invasion? Isn''t that too much for them?'' ''Hey, why are you worrying too much about it? Don''t forget 70 percent of the strongest cultivators in the Purple stone world are gathered here. It is the safest ce in this world right now.'' The onlookers has their own whispers and discussions as they looked at Elder Boron who removed his face mask. Chapter 1346 Intel from the slaves

Chapter 1346 Intel from the ves

An hour before everyone gathered in the colosseum. "By the way, do you have any idea regarding the time when the demon invasion starts?" After listening to Ajax''s entire n, Elder Boron asked Ajax about the time as he was nning to add the demon invasion to the fifth round of the contest. Generally, the demon invasion always started with cannon fodder and there would be a lot of demon minions rushing out of the portal just to wear out the cultivators of the world. "I don''t know the exact time; however, I am sure about one thing." Ajax thought about it for a moment before replying, "Their n is to invade the Ylercester province during the contest because most of the powerful cultivators are gathered here. As long as they kill everyone, the Purple stone world will practically be theirs." "So, they will start the demon invasion before the contest ends." Ajax gave out his thoughts on the demon invasion''s time. "Hm" Elder Boron thought about it for a while as he replied, "If my guess is right, they might attack as soon as the fifth round starts. I know what to do with the fifth round now." As he finished his words, Elder Boron revealed a huge smile on his face as he looked at Ajax. "..." Ajax was speechless for a moment as he replied, "Don''t tell me you are thinking of making the 15 participants stop the initial wave of the demon invasion?" It was not hard for Ajax to tell what Elder Boron was thinking as he asked Elder Boron about it. "Haha¡­you are definitely my grandson." Elder Boron startedughing as he praised Ajax for reading his thoughts without any difficulty. As for Ajax, he could only shake his head at Elder Boron''s crazy thoughts; however, he felt it was not bad pushing the top 15 young cultivators against the demon invasion. Because, only when a cultivator is faced with true danger, their true potentiales out. "Don''t worry too much about it. The moment demon kingse out of the portal, the king realm cultivators of the Purple stone world will help you guys." Elder Boron assured Ajax not to worry too much about it. "I know." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head at Elder Boron. Even if no one from the Purple stone world helps him, Ajax didn''t have any ns to back down without putting up a good fight against the demon army. He has one peak mid-level king realm spirit beast and 10 peak low-level king realm spirit beasts. Also, he had more than 20 elite general realm elemental spirits and few artifacts that could even take care of the King realm cultivators. ''Even with the help of Elder Boron and other cultivators'' help, I might have to use all my trump cards this time.'' Ajax had stored a lot of trump cards from the beginning to use them in a time like this. And this time, he would not hesitate to use them as his main goal had changed after learning about his past. Previously, his main goal was taking revenge on the assassin sect for killing the innocent children from the Silver Orphanage and Vr city. However, it became secondary and his primary goal was to be the Protector of the Purple stone world by stopping the demon invasion. ''Not only I can erase the assassin sect from the face of the Purple stone worldpletely but I can even find my parents who are recovering their bodies somewhere in this world.'' Even though Ajax was not sure whether his parents were recovering their bodies in this world or in another world, he would find out once be the protector of the world. ''Even though I own the normal dwarf world and the normal elven world, they are practically useless right now.'' Ajax was always thinking of using everything for this demon invasion as it was very important for him. Currently, he has two normal worlds; however, both are useless when ites to fighting because one is a dwarf world that doesn''t have any battle prowess. As for the normal eleven worlds, he had 1000 peak elite general realm elves. So, they were basically not very useful for the current situation. ''Only if they were all king realm cultivators, it would have been nicer.'' Ajax knew they would reach King realm cultivators with some time; however, he wanted it to happen sooner. "What are you thinking so seriously, kid?" Seeing Ajax spacing out in the middle of the conversation, Elder Boron asked Ajax about it. "It''s nothing." Ajax shook his head as he wanted to keep the two normal worlds as a surprise for Elder Boron for now. ''I will surprise him once those two worlds be more powerful.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head when replying to Elder Boron. ''Ding, Your demon ves are trying tomunicate with you. Do you want to establish a link with them? All of a sudden, Ajax received a system notification which gave a pleasant surprise. "Elder Boron, please wait a few minutes." First, Ajax asked Elder Boron to wait before replying to the system to establish the link with his two golden ves. "Okay" Elder Boron could sense from Ajax''s expression that it was important. So, he nodded his head and decided to wait. ''Master, ca¡­n yo¡­u he¡­ar me?'' Soon, Ajax heard a distorted voice in his head and he recognized that voice belonged to the older brother among the golden demon kings. ''Yes. We don''t have much time. Please be quick.'' Ajax knew that he didn''t have the luxury to talk using this method for long periods. So, he asked the demon ve to be quick. ''The de¡­mon invasion will sta¡­rt in two hours ir¡­respective of the contest. Please be care¡­ful.'' ''Two hours? Okay good.'' Ajax nodded his head as he asked, ''Is there anything else I need to be careful of?'' ''Yes¡­master. Th..there will be only one portal and all the demon forces wille out of it.'' Chapter 1347 Ancestor’s host

Chapter 1347 Ancestor''s host

"Grandpa, looks like things will be much easier for us with the fifth round of the contest." After learning about the invasion time, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he informed Elder Boron about it. "Good." Elder Boron nodded his head as he replied, "There will be no changes in our n. I will go now to arrange the things with the contest and inform the protectors of the world." Elder Boron has a positive opinion on the protectors of the Purple stone world and he knew he could make use of them for the demon invasion. Stopping the invasions from the other races is the true objective of their title. So, Elder Boron knew they would notin when it came to stopping the demon invasion. As for the other cultivators, they were bound to join the fight when the invasion was huge. "Okay. We will join you when the fifth round starts." Ajax nodded his head as he knew there would be things for Elder Boron to take care of if they want to stop the demon invasion. Moreover, Elder Boron decided to add that demon invasion as the fifth round for the contest. So, of course, he had to take care of so many things. ¡­.. In one of the special quarters. "Cain, did you recover yourplete strength?" The assassin sect leader, Oliver, asked his son about his recovery. Earlier, everyone thought Cain died in the secret realm; however, they were surprised to see him alive and well in the fourth round. What''s more, he even won both fights in the fourth round with less than half of his original strength that he recovered. "Thanks to Ancestor, I was able to recoverpletely." Cain no longer looked pale and weak; instead, he was filled with a lot of vitality as he replied to his father with a slight smile on his face. "Good. Can I talk to the ancestor for a while?" Oliver was happy that his son recovered hisplete strength and asked whether he could talk with the ancestor of the assassin sect. "Okay." All of a sudden, Cain''s eyes turned pitch ck and a dense ck smoke surrounded Cain''s body as he spoke in an eerie tone, "I also have something to talk with you." "Ancestor." As soon as he saw the pitch ck eyes of his son, Oliver was no longer calm andposed; instead, he was shivering and shaking a little as he politely bowed to show his respects. "Did you prepare the goods?" Ancestor, who recently took over Cain asked Oliver about some goods. "Everything is prepared, Ancestor. As soon as the contest is over, you can ha¡­" "Okay." Before Oliver could finish his words, Ancestor interrupted him with a nod as he asked, "The demon invasion will begin in two hours. So, look for an opportunity to kill as many demons as possible." "Huh?" Oliver was a little confused as he asked, "We and the demons are not enemies, right? So, is there a reason for unnecessarily killing them?" Oliver already knew that their assassin sect''s ancestor is a follower of one of the demon emperors. So, he felt killing their allies would be just a waste of energy. "Idiot. How did you be the sect leader with that head of yours?" If anyone heard that they would have been shocked because in their eyes, Cain was the one who was scolding his father. However, it was the ancestor who was scolding Oliver for hisck of intelligence. ''...'' Oliver remained silent as he knew if he spoke anything, he would get scolded even more. "Since you are not as intelligent as any of the sect leaders of the assassin sect, I will tell you something interesting." Ancestor revealed an evil smile on his face as he continued, "The true motive of this invasion was not to destroy the Purple stone world; instead, the demon emperor wants the assassin sect to take full control of the Purple stone world at any cost." "What?" Oliver was surprised for a moment; however, when he thought about it, he was no longer surprised. Because, rather than destroying a normal world, it would be good to have it under their control. As long as the assassin sect controls the Purple stone worlds, it means the demons are practically owning the world. "Yes. Even though the Purple stone world is just a weak normal world, all the powerful cultivators from the greater human worlds were looking for something in this world. So, owning this world will open a great path for our assassin sect to venture other greater worlds." Ancestor was looking forward to the day where his assassin sect would be established in the greater worlds. "I heard you mention that artifact in the past, ancestor." Oliver nodded his head as he recalled the artifact where the ancestor was desperately searching for in the Zrochester province and other provinces. "No. I am not talking about the artifact. I am talking about the artifact that was much better than the artifact I searched for in the past." Ancestor closed his eyes as he called the features of the artifact; however, he was unable to remember much about it. "Damn it¡­there is something wrong with my memories whenever I think about the artifact." Ancestor was frustrated as he wanted to destroy something; however, he controlled his urge. "I think it is rted to your physical body. Once you recover your physical body, you might remember it." Oliver didn''t know much about those things; however, he was notpletely ignorant about them either. "By the way, ancestor, King Stephen requested to meet up with Cain as he¡­" "Reject it." Before Oliver could finish his words, Ancestor asked him to reject. "I already rejected." Oliver nodded his head as he continued, "However, he said it is rted to the Protector of the skies and he also mentioned ''ancestor'' in his lines. I think he knows about you." ''Who is inside him?'' Ancestor raised his brows for a moment as he revealed a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1348 Patriarch of Nightmares

Chapter 1348 Patriarch of Nightmares

As one of the guardians, Ancestor or ''Patriarch of nightmares'' knew what happened to the other guardians and what they could be doing right now. So, when he heard Oliver''s words, he could guess that one of the guardians'' souls was resting inside King Stephen because it was the only way for King Stephen to know about him, the ''Lord of water'' who was currently recovering his strength in Cain''s body. "Invite him in." Ancestor thought for a moment regarding which guardian was inside King Stephen before asking Oliver to invite King Stephen. Soon, King Stephen walked in as Ancestor created a barrier around them. ''Nightmares'' Without wasting any time, he used one of his signature skills on King Stephen. ''What¡­'' King Stephen was shocked at the sudden iing of the ck energy from the young man in front of him. ''Water God''s barrier.'' Just as King Stephen was shocked regarding the sudden attack from Ancestor who was inside Cain, his eyes turned dark blue colour and at the same time, his voice changedpletelypared to his usual self. However, a light blue coloured barrier around King Stephen blocked the ck energy rushing towards him. "You are still as cautious as before, Ancestor or should I call ''Patriarch of nightmares''?" Just like Cain, King Stephen''s body was taken over by his master as he replied to Ancestor with a slight smile on his face. "So, it is ''Lord of the water''. Looks like your recovery skills arecking." Ancestor used his skill to find out who was residing inside King Stephen''s body and he was sessful in it after seeing the light blue coloured barrier around King Stephen. Among the guardians, Lord of the water has the least battle prowess; however, when ites to the recovery skills or techniques, he would be ced first. However, when Ancestor saw ''Lord of the water'' using his skill, he was able to roughly gauge the recovery rate of that guardian. So, he could not help butment on it with a scoff. "Haha¡­it''s just that luck is not on my side as my soul was sent to the Zrochester province." Lord of water was not embarrassed at all when he heard Ancestor''s words as he had his own reason for recovering so slowly. ''When the timees, you will know why my recovery rate is very slow.'' At the same time, he silently thought in his head. "Looks like it." Ancestor looked at King Stephen''s body as he nodded his head because it was indeed ''Lord of water''s'' d luck to be thrown into the Zrochester province; However, he also knew there were other reasons. ''But who cares. I have my own ns too.'' In this world, when cultivators had the same goals and dreams like bing the emperor of the world, it would be very hard to establish trust among them. Also, it was one of the reasons why their so-called perfect ambush was unsessful. Moreover,pared to the Lord of the water, the Patriarch of the Nightmares had connections with the demons and he also knew about the uing demon invasion. "Anyway, we have a lot to talk about, right?" Both Ancestor and Stephen''s master said the same words at the same time before starting chatting about the past, the present and the future. Of course, he hid the information and trump cards from one another in the chat. ¡­.. Present time. In the colosseum. "What? The participants have to stop the initial round of the demon invasion?" All the onlookers were shocked to learn about the demon invasion; however, they were not worried much about it because of Elder Boron. "Everyone, keep quiet." Hearing the whispers from the onlookers, Elder Boron stood up from his chair as he walked to the front of the huge stage. "The ranking for these 15 participants depends on the number of demons they kill and the longer theyst fighting against the demons." "Also, there is something I need to inform you about before the contest starts." All of a sudden, Elder Boron became serious and the same goes for the onlookers as they could sense there was definitely something important Elder Boron was going to inform them. "ording to the information I received, this will be thergest demon invasion. So, after a few rounds of the demon armies, everyone must participate in stopping the demon invasion. In case we fail to stop the demon invasion, you know what will happen, right?" Initially, Elder Boron wanted to use rewards to tempt them in stopping the demon invasion; however, he felt reminding the results of failing to stop the demon invasion would be more effective. "You can use all your elemental spirits, the contracted spirit beasts, any artifact or any trump card you have. Of course, those who harm the fellow participants either intentionally or unintentionally will be directly killed by me without any hesitation." Elder Boron informed the participants about the final rules of the rounds as he increased the volume of his voice and said, "The fifth round starts now." ''Woah¡­looks like this will be the most interesting contest in history.'' ''Of course, it will be as it is the first time using the live demon invasion as the contest.'' ''I wonder who will win the contest?'' ''Who else? It will be Ajax because I heard he has a King realm spirit beast.'' ''But, I don''t think the parents of other participants would let him win just like that. They would give their contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits.'' ''You are wrong. Even though the guardian said that they could use any trump cards, they can''t use the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits belonging to others.'' ''Why is that?'' ''It is the basic rule of the contest. So, they can''t use their parents'' elemental spirits or contracted spirit beasts. But, they can form contracts with the spirit beasts as it will be much easierpared to the elemental spirit.'' ''What?'' The onlookers were looking forward to the trump cards used by the participants. Chapter 1349 First time?

Chapter 1349 First time?

Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a small portal opened in the center of the colosseum and its size grew rapidly. "Let''s destroy the human race." "Conquer the Purple stone world." "Kill those whoe in our way." . . . Soon, waves of demons starteding out of the portal as they rushed at the 15 participants who were standing closer to the portal. "All participants, get ready." Elder Boron shouted at the participants, alerting them to get ready for the fight. ''I am going to kill as many demons as possible and get a good ranking.'' ''I will aim for the top three.'' ''Looks like, today is my lucky day.'' . . The participants were already ready when they saw the portal and nodded their heads at Elder Boron while thinking of their goals. Among the 15 participants, most of them were looking for a good ranking whereas some were excited to kill as many demons as possible. Also, there were a few who wanted to show their true skills today because as long as they performed well in stopping the demon invasion, they would be recognized by the entire Purple stone world without much difficulty. ''Since this is just the first round, I can kill the demons without using a rough version of the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique''.'' However, unlike other participants, Ajax was calm andposed as he recalled his n for the demon invasion. Ajax had already met all the conditions in learning the true version of the Blessed refining cultivation technique; however, he wanted to outperform those conditions as far as possible to receive good returns when he learned the true version of the Blessed refining cultivation technique. One of the conditions required him to circte the crude version of the cultivation three times before killing a demon king and currently, Ajax could easily kill low-level demon cultivators. However, in the initial rounds of the invasion, only cannon fodder whose cultivation would be below king realm would be sent to clear the obstacles. ''I don''t have to use any big attacks for this batch of demons.'' Darius, son of protector Erin, used only basic attacks which were enough to kill dozens of demons in a single attack. The same thing goes for all the participants as they only used the basic attacks and stored the attacks that consume a lot of essence of nature. Other than Darius, the remaining participants in the final round are Princess Daphne, Silver goliath, Golmath, Alman, Levi, Nameless cultivators x 3, King killer, Cain, Iris, Noel and Sean and Ajax. "Teleport" "Advanced spatial des." However, there was a single participant who was not bothering much about the essence of nature as he started using his powerful skills that consume a lot of the essence of nature. Of course, it was Ajax who doesn''t have to worry about the essence of nature as not have a spirit consciousness with huge capacity but he also has secondary storage for the essence of nature. ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' ''Ding, The host killed 1000 demons whose strength is below the King realm and gained 1000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, The host gained 1000 units of the essence of nature¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ As Ajax used his skills to kill a lot of demons in each of his attacks, he received notifications from the system informing him about the essence of nature. ''What? Only one unit of the essence of nature for a single demon?'' However, for every demon that was below the king realm, he got only a single unit of the essence of nature, making him a little disappointed. Because, in his recent hunting, he used to receive thousands of units of the essence of nature for killing a single beast or demon. So, of course, he was not satisfied with one unit of the essence of nature. ''Let''s just endure it for some time and wait until the King realm demonse out of the portal.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was assured that there would be nock of demons in the current demon invasion as big fishes are yet toe out of the portal. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Why is he showing off already? Is he already giving up on the contest by using all those powerful skills and techniques?'' ''Ignorant brat.'' ''Does he think he will get more points just by killing these lowly demons with such powerful skills at the beginning itself?'' . . The remaining participants, except for those who knew Ajax, scoffed at Ajax for using all his strength at the beginning of the invasion. In their view, there was no need to use all their strength at the beginning itself because they could be exhausted when the real demon invasion starts. Even though Ajax was leading by a lot of points in killing the demons, the cultivators from the two higher provinces were not at all worried as they killed the low-level demons at their own pace and slowly umted the points in the contest. ''They are all monsters.'' ''Yes¡­how can they be so strong at such a young age.'' . . All the onlookers were already shocked at the battle prowess of the young participants; however, looking at the current 15 participants who were calm andposed as they killed hundreds of demons without much difficulty. In their eyes, they were also monsters for having such strength andposure at such a young age. "Looks like that brat Ajax has never participated in the demon invasions." "This brat thinks he can win the contest just like that." "Yeah. From his actions, it seems like it''s his first time." "Nevermind, he will learn from his mistakes." "Except for him, everyone is doing much better than I expected." . . The powerful cultivators sitting on the huge stage started giving theirments to the participants. Even though they gave negativements for Ajax for using his strong skills from the beginning, they assumed he had never participated in the demon invasion. ''This brat¡­shows off just like father.'' Elder Boron shook his head at Ajax as he looked at others and asked, "Anyone interested in guessing who will take the first ce?" Chapter 1350 Primordial demon king Daen

Chapter 1350 Primordial demon king Daen

In one of the normal demon worlds surrounding the Purple stone world. "How is it going?" One of the demon apostles asked a demon king about the battle report. It''s been an hour since the portal opened in the Ylercester province. Even though the demons only sent the cannon fodder until now, the demon apostle wanted to know the hourly updates on their conquering of the Purple stone world. "As expected, the guardian of the Purple stone world is using us for the fifth round of the contest and only the 15 participants were fighting against our demon army." One of the demon kings calmly replied to the demon apostle as though everything was going ording to n. "However, the casualties on our side are triple what we initially predicted." Another demon king hesitated a little before giving the casualty report on their side. "Hm¡­looks like the participants are more powerful than we thought. We should kill them before they grow any further." The demon apostle nodded his head and said his thoughts about what they had to do. For demons, who view the humans as their eternal enemies, didn''t want the humans to be powerful and if they could kill the talented young humans even before they matured, they would dly do it. So, the demon apostle didn''t want to miss this chance. "Sir Demon apostle, shall we send our demon kings now?" A demon king who looked very strong among all the demon kings present there asked the demon apostle in a calm tone. Even though he sounded calm, all the demon kings could sense he was frustrated for not entering the human world yet. "Daen, I know you are worried about your individual army but the moment we send the demon armies, the king realm cultivators from the human world will also join the battle." If it was someone else who asked about sending the demon kings, they would have been instantly killed by the demon apostle; however, Daen was only one step away from bing a demon apostle. Even if the demon apostle wanted to kill him, it would not be an easy thing to do. "So be it. Our end goal is to conquer the Purple stone world and for that, we have to fight them sooner orter." Daencked patience and just wanted to do what he wanted to do. "Just because you are about to be a demon apostle doesn''t give you the right to oppose me." The demon apostle was dissatisfied with Daen as he stood up from his seat to teach Daen a lesson. ''Boom'' Just as he stood up, a small stone in the distance exploded, making everyone look at it. "Sir demon apostle, the other demon apostles gave the signal to send the demon kings into the portal." Soon, a demon king rushed toward the demon apostle and informed him about the reason behind the explosion. "Good." Dawn revealed an excited smile on his primordial demon face and looked at the demon apostle as though he was saying, ''What are you waiting for? Give the order.'' "Looks like you are way too arrogant even before you be the demon apostle. Let''s see whether you survive this mission to be the demon apostle or not." The demon apostle controlled his anger as he scoffed at Daen and looked at the other demon kings before saying, "Everyone, go and have fun." ''Do you really think I will die in this mission? In your dreams.'' Daen could sense the threat from the Demon apostle''s words; however, he was not afraid of it because he was nning to be the demon apostle for more than a hundred years. So, just when he was finally about to reach his goal, why would he mess it up? He was holding his trump cards that could save his life in critical situations. "Everyone, let''s go." "Let''s conquer another human world just like thest." . . . All the demon kings were excited because unlike the cannon fodder, they were not insane and knew what they were doing. While shouting, they rushed into the portal. Except for the demon apostle, all the demons rushed into the portal that leads to another portal where all the armies of the 15 personal demon apostles gather before entering the Ylercester province. .... In the Ylercester province, ''Die'' ''Swoosh'' ''Mountain splitting sword technique'' ''Fire serpent sweep'' ''Sand storm'' . . The 15 participants were killing the demons that were continuously pouring out of the portal and since it''s been more than an hour, they were a little tired; however, they could still continue for another couple of hours without any problem. Of course, if they face any strong demons, they would notst for much longer as they need to deplete a lot of energy to defeat them. Unlike the 14 participants, Ajax continued to use powerful skills and techniques without any worry. "How much energy does this little brat have to use such powerful skills for an hour without any break." All the cultivators looking at Ajax were shocked by Ajax''s usage of skills and techniques that seemed very powerful. Initially, everyone except for a few who knew Ajax thought he was showing off his skills and he would notst for much longer. However, after an hour, their view of Ajax hadpletely changed when they saw Ajax was not at all tired and what''s more, he looked like he was in a much better condition than other participants who were yet to use their powerful skills or techniques. ''Do you already know about the invasion?'' In the distance, King Stephen asked his master about the demon invasion with a little worried face. ''I didn''t know about the invasion until I met with the ''Patriarch of the nightmares''.'' Stephen''s master looked at the demons pouring out of the portal through Stephen''s eyes and continued saying, ''I think it is a heaven-sent opportunity for you, my disciple.'' ''What?'' King Stephen was shocked by his master''s words as he wondered about the opportunity. Chapter 1351 True intentions of the Lord of the Water

Chapter 1351 True intentions of the Lord of the Water

''Yes. An opportunity to take over the Purple stone world.'' Stephen''s master seemed to be in a good mood as he replied to his disciple as he continued, ''Think about it and find out what opportunity I am talking about.'' ''...'' King Stephen was speechless at his master''s words; however, he nodded his head and thought about what kind of opportunities he could use from the ongoing demon invasion. ''What kind of opportunity are you talking about, Master?'' King Stephen thought about his master''s words for a while; however, he was unable to think of how to use the demon invasion as an opportunity. So, he could only ask his master about it as he didn''t want to waste any more time, fearing that he might lose that opportunity. ''You remember what I said about the ''Patriarch of the nightmares'' having connections to the demon race, right?'' ''Yes, master.'' King Stephen nodded his head as he clearly remembered it. ''If my guess is right, the demons are not nning to destroy the Purple stone world; instead, they are trying to conquer the world.'' ''Huh?'' Hearing his master''s words, King Stephen raised his brows for a moment before replying, ''Don''t tell me, they are nning to turn the residents of the Purple stone world into ves?'' Even though King Stephen seemed like he was asking a question, he understood what his master meant by conquering the Purple stone world. Actually, it was verymon for the winners of the war to turn the losers into their ves; however, the demons have never done that as they just want to destroy everything rting to humans including humans. ''Correct. If my guess is right, that ancestor will use the demon invasion to make the Assassin sect the number one powerhouse in the Purple stone. So, all you have to do is be his subordinate.'' ''What? Are you asking me to be someone''s subordinate? What''s more, it is someone who is going to betray the human race.'' King Stephen looked at Cain who was fighting the demons in the distance as he retorted against his master. Even though King Stephen sought after the power, somewhere in his heart, he felt he could betray the entire human race. So, he retorted against his master without any hesitation. ''Fine. It is your life to do whatever you want to do. If you be close with ''Ancestor'', you will be the emperor of the Purple stone world in less than 10 years.'' ''Do you think your ancestors will stay in the Purple stone world forever? He always wanted to enter a greater world and own that greater world.'' ''So, if you help him in taking over the Purple stone world, he will leave the Purple stone world in your hands. Later, you can pursue the greater worlds just like him.'' . . . Lord of the water continued to say one thing after another and used all the weaknesses of King Stephen to change his mind. ''Right. As long as I be the emperor of the Purple stone world, who cares about the method I choose?'' Lord of the water was known for his controlling skills. As long as someone speaks to him for a while, he could make others change their decisions andpletely believe that they made the right choice. So, it didn''t take much time for him to make King Stephen change his decision regarding bing the subordinate of the ''Patriarch of nightmares''. ''Good. I already informed ''Ancestor'' regarding your decision. So, don''t worry about it as he will inform you what you have to do from now on.'' Lord of the water was confident in his skills. So, he had already made a deal with the ''Patriarch of the Nightmares'' when they met earlier. ''Thank you, master. Once I be the emperor of the Purple stone world, I will help you in recovering your body.'' King Stephen absolutely didn''t have any idea that he was being manipted by his so-called master. Instead, he was happy and excited about his future after a decade. Moreover, he was continuously thanking his master and promised to help him recover his body. ''What a fool! Before you can notice what''s happening to you, I will take full control of your body. So, there is no need for you to trouble yourself.'' Lord of the waterughed at King Stephen''s foolishness as he thought about his real intentions. ''Also, be careful when you receive orders from him and don''t follow blindly.'' Nevertheless, he didn''t forget to warn King Stephen regarding the ''Patriarch of the Nightmares'', because if King Stephen was killed, all his effort over the past 15 years would be wasted for nothing. ''Don''t worry about me, master. You know how cautious I will be regarding things like these, right?'' With a proud look on his face, King Stephen replied to his master in his head, making the Lord of the worldugh at his disciple''s foolishness. ''Right! You are so cautious that it took me a total of five years to make you believe me.'' Those five years are the worst time for the Lord of the water who met the foolish young boy who didn''t have much talent and wasted his time in the royal burial ground. Initially, Lord of the water wanted to use someone else; however, except for Stephen who was in his twenties, wh regrly visited the royal graveyard, others rarely visited it. So, he could not waste any time and decided to use Stephen to reach his goals. "Everyone, it is time for you to join the battle." On the stage, Elder Boron, who was enjoying the fight between the demons and the 15 participants, all of a sudden, stood up from his chair and shouted out loud. "King realm demons areing out of the portal. Kill them all." Following Elder Boron''s words, the three protectors of the Purple stone world also stood up and shouted out loud when they saw the demon kings rushing out of the portal. Chapter 1352 Hatred

Chapter 1352 Hatred

Until now, only demons below the king realm walked through the portal. So, Elder Boron didn''t mind leaving all the cannon fodder to the 15 young participants because he was using it as thest round for the contest. However, the moment he saw the king realm demonsing out of the portal, he ordered everyone to fight against the demons as it was the only way to stop the invasion. "Guardian, you can just watch us. We can take care of them." Protector Olek knew that Elder Boron was an Emperor realm cultivator; however, he wanted to show him that the guardian doesn''t have to worry about the demon invasion. Actually, he wanted to show Elder Boron that the three protectors of the Purple stone world can take care of the demon invasions without any problem. "Okay." Elder Boron, who was about to rush forward to stop the demons, halted in his steps and looked at Protector Olek and the other two protectors who had confident looks on their faces before nodding his head. "Let me see how strong you are." At the same time, he asked them to show him how strong they have be, with a slight smile on his face. Even though Elder Boron could sense the cultivations of the three protectors, it was not enough to gauge the battle prowess of a cultivator because many factors affect the battle prowess of an individual cultivator. Just like how Ajax was able to kill even king realm cultivators with his level 2 elite general realm cultivation, there are others who could do the same. For the future of the Purple stone world, Elder Boron wanted to check out the exact battle prowess of the three protectors. So that, if he wanted to assign some tasks to them in the future, he would be confident in them depending on their battle prowess. "Erin, Nade, let''s show them how powerful we became." Even though the three protectors were not the disciples of the previous emperor of the Purpl stone world, Vaugh spiriteye, they were personally trained by him for a couple of years before bing the Protectors of the Purple stone world. Elder Boron, as the master and the father inw of Vaguh spiriteye, he was curious about the cultivators trained by his disciple. So, of course, he wanted to see their battle prowess. "All cultivators below the king realm¡­.retreat." Along with the three protectors, the family heads, sect leaders and all the powerful king realm cultivators rushed to fight the demons after hearing the order from Elder Boron. The first thing they did was to order 15 young participants and other cultivators who were rushing to join the fight against the demon army. Even though the cultivators below the King realm might take care of the cannon fodder; however, from the perspective of the King realm cultivators, those cultivators would be only getting in their way. So, they were not hesitant in ordering them to retreat because they could use their skills and techniques without worrying about anyone from their side getting killed or injured by their attacks. "Don''t worry about us. We will take care of the cannon fodder." "Yes." "We will not interrupt you." Almost everyone below the king realm, who were rushing to join the fight, stopped in their tracks and nodded their heads; however, the 15 young participants didn''t show any interest in leaving the battlefield. For them, this was an opportunity to push their limits to the next level and the chances of learning newws or breakthroughs in the existingws are very high. So, there is no way they would leave the battlefield just like that. "You¡­" Most of the king realm cultivators were offended by their words and wanted to teach them a lesson. "Let me teach them a lesson." There were even one of the King realm cultivators who came forward to teach them a lesson. "Let them be. You focus on your targets and they will focus on their targets." Just as he was about to teach them a lesson, one of the protectors scoffed at that king realm cultivator and asked him to leave the 15 young participants alone. "But, protector Erin¡­." "No need to say anything. Just kill the king realm demon cultivators. They know how to protect themselves." Protector Erin didn''t let that king realm cultivator say anything as he continued, "Also if they get killed, it is their own fault." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Protector Erin flew into the air and chose a ce near the Portal where most of the king realm demon cultivators were present. ''Damn these bastards. Just because they got the talent, they could do whatever they want?'' The king realm cultivator who was berated by the Protector Erin looked at the 15 young participants with furious eyes and thought, ''I hope they get killed by the demons. Only then, they will know why I asked them to retreat.'' After thinking about it, the king realm cultivator didn''t bother with the young cultivators and rushed forward to kill all the demons on this path. As he massacred the demons in his way, there was ck coloured energy that wasing out of the dead demons and gathered around that cultivator. As everyone was busy stopping the invasion, no one noticed the ck coloured energy and it continued to gather around him. ''Die'' ''I will kill you all.'' ''What if I don''t have the talent?'' ''I will work hard to beat those bastards who were born with natural talents.'' ''I will be much stronger than them and make them bow to me.'' . . As he continued to massacre the demons in his way, that human was muttering one line after another which seemed like it was filled with hatred. The more he killed, the more ck coloured energy gathered around him and his hatred towards those who were born with talent increased. ''A mid-level demon king?'' ''Die'' ''sh'' With a single sh, he even killed a mid-level demon king into two equal parts. ***** 100 golden tickets = One bonus chapter. Chapter 1353 Westin, a mediocre cultivator

Chapter 1353 Westin, a mediocre cultivator

Westin is a mediocre cultivator with an average talent in cultivation. He was neither rich nor poor. However, he had only one goal in his life and it was to be a King realm cultivator. No matter how hard he worked, the results were fruitless. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up his goal as he continued to work hard, only to be made fun of by those around him. Moreover, the talented cultivators of his generation looked down on him for having such a goal and mocked him with their words. Later on, to get into the good books of those talented cultivators, other cultivators started bullying him. That was the first time he truly hated the talented cultivators. Nevertheless, he continued to live his life, while cultivating as hard as he can and at the same time, his hatred towards the talented cultivators grew as time passed. As time passed, he encountered a nameless inheritance ground and with a single look, he could tell that it was an inheritance ground belonging to a human cultivator who followed demonic ways to increase his cultivators. Initially, he thought to not enter it; however, when he remembered how he was living because of hisck of talent and hatred towards the talented cultivators, he decided to enter it. ..... "A low-level human insect? You are very eager to die." ''sh'' As Westin continued his massacre, he saw a mid-level king realm demon scoff at him. "I am going to kill those who look down on me." Westin had already been covered with a dense ck coloured aura around and his hatred towards the talented cultivators increased to a peak state. So, after seeing a mid-level demon king mock him, he could not control his anger because he not only hated the talented cultivators but those who looked down on him. All of a sudden, the ck coloured energy around him moved towards his sword andpletely covered it. ''sh'' In the next second, Westin''s eyes turned pitch ck as he shed his sword at the mid-level demon king and equally cut him into two parts. ''What?'' The mid-level demon king never thought that he would be killed by someone, whom he called an insect in a single sh. With a face full of shock, the two parts of his body fell to the ground which waster crushed by the other demons and humans. ''Aargh'' As for Westin, he received a huge orb of ck coloured energy from the mid-level demon king he just killed as he felt a pain in his head. ''What is happening to me?'' ''No¡­kill¡­.kill¡­kill.'' He barely got conscious before his eyes turned pitch ck once again and he resumed his mad massacre of the demons. Even though he looked like a demonic cultivator, he was only massacring demons and the moment he saw any human cultivator, he would move further away from that cultivator. ¡­ ''Advanced spatial des.'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' As for Ajax, he didn''t bother with anyone as hepletely focused on clearing the demon around him as he maintained a 10-meter radius devoid of any demons. Whenever the demons try topletely surround him, he would clear them all with his advanced spatial des that could make any demons within a 10-meter range fly away. Not only ''Advanced spatial des'', he would also use the sword wave to push away the demons who try to overwhelm him with the numbers. ''I just need one attack to clear these cannon fodder demons around him.'' Ajax was not being arrogant as he was just stating the fact. ''Let''s see how everyone is doing.'' Until now, Ajax was only focusing on killing. So, he decided to take a quick nce at how the other participants and the king realm cultivators were doing. ''They look like a perfect couple.'' The first thing that attracted Ajax was a young couple, Emmie and Darius. An hour ago, all participants were fighting on their own; however, with the appearance of the king realm demons, almost all the young participants formed teams to fight the demons. The first team was, of course, Darius and Emmie, who were already in love with each other. Maybe, it was because of their understanding of each other, that they were able to fight multiple low-level demon kings while dealing with hundreds of cannon fodder demons. ''Silver goliath and Ferocious gori areplete beasts.'' Silver goliath became a 10-meter giant whereas the Ferocious gori became a 10-meter gori who were sweeping all the demons, including low-level demon kings. ''Dark me¡­'' .. .. Ajax looked at each team and he was not surprised with the formation of the teams as he just acknowledged they were doing a very good job. ''I wonder whether they can kill a high-level demon king if they use the ''Nine-men awakening technique''.'' After checking out all 15 young participants, Ajax thought about the Nine-men awakening technique. It was a technique that not only helped nine cultivators share their cultivation but it would also increased the battle prowess of all nine cultivators who achieved the synchronization. ''Looks like I will just have to wait and see.'' Ajax already knew there would be nock of demon kings during this invasion and he was very sure that he would be witnessing Silver goliath and others using the ''Nine-men awakening technique'' when they were fighting an individual target who had high cultivation. ''I know why Ronnie didn''t form a team with anyone. What about that b*stard?'' Next, Ajax looked at the two individuals before focusing on a single participant who didn''t form any team. Almost everyone formed a team of their own and each consisted of two or three participants. However, there are three individuals who didn''t bother to work with others and they were Ajax, Cain and Ronnie. Even though they were fighting on their own, their damage output was almost equal to those who formed teams. ''I need to keep an eye on him as I have a bad feeling about him.'' Looking at Cain, Ajax silently thought in his head. **** 100 Golden tickets = 1 Bonus chapter. Chapter 1354 Powerful Protectors

Chapter 1354 Powerful Protectors

Even though Ronnie was also fighting the demons individually, Ajax knew the reason for that was because Ronnie''s skills and techniques caused an insane amount of damage. Moreover, Ronnie has yet to learn how to fully control his power. Even if he was careful, his attacks didn''t differentiate between friend and foe. However, when ites to Cain, Ajax knew Cain had perfect control over his skills and techniques. So, if he formed teams with others, he could kill even more demons with half of the energy he was currently using. ''Also, he clearly died in the third round. Looks like he has a simr skill to ''Emergency ghost''.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know how many skills and techniques like ''Emergency ghost'' were present in this universe, he was sure that Cain had a simr skill. Adding his background to the list, Ajax had enough reasons to have a bad premonition regarding Cain. ''Is the assassin sect going to show its true colours today?'' In the next moment, Ajax moved his eyes from Cain to the cultivators from the assassin sect. Even though they seemed like they were fighting with their full strength, Ajax was very sure that they were more capable than what they were currently showing. ''Looks like you finally noticed it.'' As Ajax was frowning while looking at Cain and the assassins from the assassin sect, Elder Boron''s voice resounded in his head. ''Grandpa?'' Ajax turned his head and looked at Elder Boron who was sitting in his chair with a nonchnt look on his face. ''Yes. What did you notice?'' With a slight smile on his face, Elder Boron asked Ajax as though he was curious to hear Ajax''s reply. ''Huff¡­I don''t think the assassin sect is using their true power and only putting on an act.'' Taking a deep breath, Ajax replied to Elder Boron regarding what he thought about the assassin sect. ''Not bad. You have keen senses.'' Elder Boron nodded his head as he asked another question, ''And why do you think they are doing that?'' ''Are they nning to betray the human race and take over the Purple stone world?'' From his two demon ves, Ajax learned that the true purpose of this invasion was to not destroy the Purple stone world; instead, they were nning to conquer it and make the surrendered humans into their ves. Also, in the Purple stone world, there is a rumour that the assassin sect had ties with the demons; however, the assassin sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Purple stone world and no one had the courage to openly ask them regarding the rumour as there was no evidence that the assassin sect had any ties with the demons. When Ajax put these together, he felt that the assassin sect really had ties with the demon race and might betray the human race to be the ruler of the Purple stone world. ''Correct. Since you said that the demon invasion''s goal was to conquer the Purple stone world, the assassin sect will definitely betray the human race to be in charge of this world.'' Elder Boron''s voice resounded in Ajax''s head. ''But don''t worry, they will not betray us anytime soon as they will wait for me to show my strength.'' Before Ajax could think anything, Elder Boron asked him to not worry much about it as though he already made some ns for the assassin sect. ''Haha¡­I am also curious about your strength, Grandpa.'' Even though Ajax had never seen the full strength of Elder Boron, he could guess that he is very powerful. So, he was curious to see Elder Boron in action. ''To see my full strength, you need to wait for some more time today.'' With a slight smile on his face, Elder Boron replied to Ajax as he continued, ''Since you will take over the Purple stone world, keep an eye on all the humans fighting the demons. It will be easy for you in the future to manage the Purple stone world in the future.'' ''Oh¡­okay.'' Ajax looked around and nodded his head at Elder Boron as he understood what Elder Boron was trying to say. Basically, Elder Boron was asking Ajax to pick some good subordinates for him in helping him take care of the Purple stone world when he became the owner of the Purple stone world in the future. ''Since I already checked the battle prowess of the young participants, it is time to check the battle prowess of the old generation cultivators.'' With an excited look on his face, Ajax waved his inheritance ground at the iing demons, before looking at the three protectors of the Purple stone world. "Meteor strike" "Thunderstorm" "Water tsunami" The three protectors were very close to the portal surrounded by dozens of demon kings and countless low-level demons. They were using their basic skills; however, they were already powerful enough to injure the high-level demon kings, severely injure the mid-level demon kings and kill the low-level demon kings. As for the demons below the king realm, they were killed even before the attacksnded on them. ''The protectors are more powerful than I thought. I think they are very close to breaking into the Emperor realm.'' Seeing that even the basic skills of the three protectors were capable of doing such insane damage, Ajax could guess that they would reach the Emperor realm in a decade or so without any trouble. ''I hope they be the Emperors soon as the Purple stone world is going to need the Emperor realm cultivators very soon.'' Ajax sincerely hoped that the Protectors would be the Emperor realm cultivators very soon because once they stopped this demon invasion, it is going to create a huge stir among the demon emperors. At the same time, it would also raise the curiosity of other powerful cultivators from the greater worlds. So, the Purple stone world needs more powerful cultivators as Ajax would be the Emperor of the world after stopping the demon invasion. **** 100 Golden tickets = 1 Bonus chapter. Chapter 1355 Choice based quest

Chapter 1355 Choice based quest

Other than the three protectors who were keeping all demon kings in their ce, the heads of various powerful sects and the families were also showcasing their skills. ''Even though they are powerful, they are nowhere as powerful as the three protectors.'' However, no one piqued Ajax''s interest other than the three protectors. Nevertheless, he was still looking for some cultivators who could be his subordinates in the future. ''Huh?'' As he was checking for the cultivators who could be his subordinates, Ajax''s gaze fell on someone, making him raise his brows. ''That energy¡­why does it feel familiar?'' In the distance, there was a middle-aged king realm cultivator who was killing all the demons in his way regardless of their strength. Even the mid-level demon kings were killed in a single sh whereas the high-level demon kings were severely injured by his attacks. However, the reason why Ajax raised his eyebrows was not because of the battle prowess of the middle-aged cultivator; instead, he saw ck energy that was surrounding the middle-aged man. That middle-aged man was none other than Westin, who was frustrated at the talented cultviators. ''Is that the same special demon energy I got from the demonic fox tribe leader?'' Because Ajax was very far from Westin, he was notpletely sure; however, looking at the ck energy, he guessed it might have the same special demonic energy in his body. ''Should I move closer to him and check it out?'' Ajax knew that if it was really the special demonic energy, he could not ignore it. So, he thought of moving closer to Westin to confirm his guess regarding the ck demonic energy around Westin. ''Ding, ¡­. Just as Ajax thought of moving closer to Westin, a system notification rang in his head that made him pause in his steps. Ajax had turned off the system notifications for the kill log. So, he knew that the system notification was important. ''Ding, A special choice based quest has been generated. Please check it and make a decision. ''Huh? Choice-based quest? A special mission?'' It was Ajax''s first time receiving such a quest and instantly became curious about it before checking out the special mission. ''Before that, I need to clear these demons.'' As Ajax rxed a little too much in checking the performance of all the human cultivators, the demons around him had already closed in on him. So, he decided to clear the demons around him before checking out the new mission. ''Ding, Special choice based quest. Scenario:- A human is looked down, mocked and bullied throughout his life. One day, he received special demon energy from an unnamed inheritance grounds which made him develop hatred towards those who looked down on him and those who are born with good talent. ''Ding, Quest:-1. Kill the human. Reward:- World core roulette (Three chances), a normal world core. Description:- The human was barely maintaining his consciousness and the moment he loses his consciousness, he will be an insane cultivator who will kill anyone he sees. ''Ding, Quest:-2. Save the human. Reward:- World core roulette (Three chances), Upgrade in host''s demonic form. Description:- Even though he was bullied and mocked his entire life, he never harmed human cultivators. Even now, he was keeping his consciousness from turning into an insane being. ''Ding, Quest:3. Make him into a ve. Reward:- World core roulette (Three chances), Complete battle equipment for the master and the ve. Description:- Since the human is above the get devoured by the special demonic energy, he will be a different being without any intelligence. So, turn him into a ve who follows his master''s orders without any hesitation. Note:- The host can make him a ve by leaving three spirit marks in his spirit consciousness; however, it is very dangerous for the host as he might be a mindless being in the process. ''Ding, Please pick only one mission andplete it to receive the mentioned rewards. As he opened the special choice based mission, a series of system notifications appeared in his sight. ''Huh? Three choices?'' Ajax had already guessed it from the name of the quest type; however, he was still surprised to see three quests with different possibilities. ''Looks like the system is adapting to do things my way.'' This was the first thought that came to his mind when he saw the three choices he had in front of him. Until now, Ajax didn''t have any choice and he had toplete the mission given by the system whether he liked it or not. Otherwise, he would receive penalties if he opposed the system; however, right now, looking at the three missions with different possibilities, Ajax felt excited because he could pick whatever mission he wanted now. ''Give me some break'' ''sh'' ''sh'' Ajax didn''t forget to swing his inheritance sword at the iing demons as heined that they should give him some time to make his choice among the three quests in front of him. ''Since I cleared the demons, I can carefully check each mission.'' After clearing the demons around him, Ajax once again started checking out the quests to pick one among them. ''First quest is out.'' After reading the scenario, Ajax directly eliminated the first mission because he felt pity for Weston and it would be really unfair for Westin if he killed him. ''Even though turning him into a ve gives me good rewards, I don''t like it.'' Ajax didn''t want to make Westin into a ve just because he was offered more rewards from the system. Moreover, it is very risky to turn Westin into a ve. So, Ajax rejected another quest without thinking much, leaving him with only one quest. ''Saving a human? It is what I want to do.'' Ajax wanted to save Westin and help him clear the misunderstanding he was having towards the talented cultivators. ''Moreover, if he learns how to control that special demonic energy, he would be even more powerful.'' Ajax''s eyes shone with a glint when he thought about it. Chapter 1356 Demon king’s offer

Chapter 1356 Demon king''s offer

''I will choose the second quest.'' Once Ajax checked all three quests, he selected the second quest without any hesitation. Ajax already knew how useful the special demonic energy was because he had already experienced it. With the help of it, Ajax received a ''Demonic form'' which would not only temporarily increase his battle prowess but it would also temporarily upgrade all his skills. So, Ajax thought if Westin could learn how to ultilize the special demonic energy properly, then the Purple stone world would gain a good asset. ''Anyway, the important thing is I have to save him first before thinking of helping him control that special demonic energy.'' Ajax came out of his thoughts and started nning the important thing right now and it was to stop the special demonic energy frompletely overtaking Westin''s body. Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly what he had to do to stop the special demonic energy from taking over Westin''s body, he had a couple of ns on saving Westin from the special demonic energy. ''Let''s check whether my ns can work or not?'' With a serious look on his face, Ajax rushed towards Westin despite knowing the fact that it was very dangerous. Other than the system mission, Ajax had another reason to save Westin because from his perspective, Westin seemed to be a good subordinate candidate who could help him in future. ''Even though it seemed like he didn''t have a good background, he had undergone many things in his life and he could make wise decisions in the future.'' Ajax didn''t have a good opinion on the powerful sects and the families and ording to him, Westin was a better candidate to be his subordinate because Westin became a King realm cultivator on his own even when he was mocked and bullied by everyone around him. ''Die'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' Once he decided to execute his n, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he rushed towards Westin while killing all the demons in his path. Mostly, he swung his inheritance swords to kill the demons; however, whenever he saw a low-level demon king, he would use his grade 5 sword dao before releasing a sword wave. ''My sword dao is bing more and more refined.'' Looking at the corpse of the low-level demon king, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face because not only was he getting a lot of essence of nature by killing the demons but his skills and techniques were also refined. Currently, he could kill a regr low-level demon king with the help of his sword technique and the grade 5 sword dao. ''Can I kill mid-level demon kings without using bloodline or demonic form?'' Ajax continued to rush towards Westin and thought about his battle prowess; however, in the next second, he got the answer to his question. "Looks like you are a special one." All of sudden, Ajax was stopped by a mid-level demon king who stopped Ajax''s sword with his demonic sword. That was the answer he got for his earlier question because the mid-level demon king easily chopped Ajax''s sword wave as though it was nothing. ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' Moreover, that demon king even shed his demonic sword at Ajax where Ajax barely stopped it before jumping back to sword the demonic sword. "Huh? You are able to dodge that?" That mid-level demon king was already surprised at Ajax''s battle prowess which could kill low-level demon kings; however, when he saw that his attack was dodged by Ajax, he waspelely shocked. ''Regr mid-level king realm cultivators will find it a little difficult to dodge that but he was able to do that with a level 2 elite general realm cultivation.'' He looked at Ajax and suddenly thought of something, ''If I can make him my ve, then I can bask in his glory.'' Someone who could kill the low-level demon kings with a cultivation of level 2 elite general realm would definitely be useful for someone like him. Even if Ajax was unable to be a Emperor realm cultivator, with his ability to kill the cultivators from higher realm would be greatly useful for that demon king. So, he was thinking of making Ajax into his ve. ''Human, if you can be my suboridinate, I will help you raise your cultivation quickly.'' After thinking for a moment, the demon king finally made an offer to Ajax through the voice transmission. Of course, he wanted the deal between him and Ajax a secret from the eyes of other demon kings and the human cultivators. Also, even though he said ''Subordinate'', he would eventually turn Ajax into his ve because using word ''ve'' right away would definitely not work on Ajax or other humans who love their freedom. ''Huh? An offer to be your subordinate? In your dreams.'' Ajax was not at all surprised with the sudden off made by the mid-level demon king as he was expecting to get a lot of such offers today after showcasing his battle prowess. However, Ajax didn''t have any ns to be someone''s subordinate, not to mention bing a subordinate of a demon king. It is never going to happen, even in the dreams. "Damn you. I am trying to offer a good life for you and you dare look down on me." The demon king saw the look on Ajax''s face and became agitated. With Ajax''s rejection, that demon king no longer bothered to keep the offer as a secret. Soon, he rushed towards Ajax with a face full of rage. ''Since you rejected my offer, I will not let you live anymore.'' He was not going to let Ajax live anymore because not only Ajax mocked him but he was worried that he might be recruited by the other powerful demon kings. Even though Ajax seemed to hate demons, the demon king knew that humans are greedy to the core and if a powerful demon promised some tempting rewards, the humans would not hesitate to betray their own race. For that reason, he had to kill Ajax at any cost. ''Looks like I no longer need to hold back.'' Chapter 1357 Fighting a mid-level demon king

Chapter 1357 Fighting a mid-level demon king

''Looks like I no longer need to hold back.'' Ajax looked at the iing mid-level demon king with a slight smile on his face and muttered to himself. Because he knew that he should use one of his trump cards to kill the iing demon king. ''Aqua dragon bloodline, activate.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax used the weakest trump card and it was none other than the aqua dragon bloodline. Even though it was his weakest trump card, Ajax felt it was enough to kill a mid-level demon king. Moreover, he was saving his powerful trump cards forter because he was very sure he would need them when fighting against the peak-level demon kings or even low-level demon emperors. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, all the water essence of nature started gathering around Ajax and raised his battle prowess. Just in a matter of a few seconds, Ajax''s battle prowess increased by 10 times and because of that, Ajax felt killing the mid-level demon king was not a problem. "You got a bloodline? So what? You can''t go against me, a mid-level demon king." The mid-level demon king felt a slight fear when he sensed the powerful aura released by Ajax; however, when he saw Ajax''s cultivation, which was still at level 2 elite general realm, he became calm and confident once again. So, he didn''t stop rushing toward Ajax and waved his demonic sword at Ajax. ''ng'' As for Ajax, he casually blocked the iing demonic sword with his inheritance sword with a slight smile on his face. "Is that all you got? I am disappointed." Soon, the slight smile disappeared as he scoffed at the mid-level demon king and pushed him away. ''How can he push me a dozen steps back?'' The mid-level demon king was shocked when he saw how Ajax pushed me a dozen steps with such a simple move. However, his shocked expression turned into embarrassment when he saw all the demons looking at him. It was an utter humiliation for him, a mid-level demon king in front of his fellow demon kings and subordinates. If it was a human with king realm cultivation, it would have been not a problem; however, the one who pushed him back by a dozen steps was a human with a level 2 elite general realm cultivation. "I am going to kill you, bastard." Soon, the embarrassment turned into anger which waspletely directed at Ajax because he was the reason for his humiliation in front of everyone. "Really? Let''s see." Ajax shook his head at the iing mid-level demon king and started circting the crude Blessed refining cultivation technique. Even though he had met all the conditions to learn the real Blessed refining cultivation technique, Ajax was breaking the limits of those conditions because of multiple reasons. One, the rewards he would receive when he learned the real Blessed refining cultivation technique would be greater. Another reason was currently, he was not in need of any new main cultivation technique because it would be more useful when he was in the King realm. Since he could umte the number for the conditions, he would dly umte until he truly needed that Blessed refining cultivation technique. ''ng'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the fight between Ajax and the mid-level demon king started as Ajaxpletely focused on defence while staying in the same position because of the cirction of the crude Blessed refining cultivation technique. ... On the huge stage. ''Huh? He is already fighting a mid-level demon king?'' Elder Boron, who was keeping his eyes on Ajax, was surprised when he saw Ajax start fighting a mid-level demon king already. Even though he had already guessed Ajax could fight mid-level king realm cultivators, he didn''t expect Ajax to control the fight. ''If he was able topletely control the fight with a mid-level demon king, he will have no problem going against the high-level demon king in a one on one fight, right?'' No matter how powerful Elder Boron was, he could not gauge the battle prowess of others exactly. All he could do was roughly gauge the battle prowess. So, he was looking forward to Ajax''s fight with a high-level demon king. ¡­ ''Let''s help.'' ''Looks like he is having trouble defeating that human kid. Let''s go and help.'' . . Even though it was an embarrassing sight for the mid-level demon king who was fighting Ajax, the other demon kings decided to help their fellow demon king in defeating Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Soon, all of them rushed toward Ajax in order to quickly kill him and continue killing other humans. ''sh'' ''ng'' "Don''t interrupt my duel with a human. I can take care of myself." However, before they could reach Ajax, the mid-level demon king swung his sword at his fellow demon kings, asking his fellow demon kings to leave them alone. "Damn it¡­are you out of your mind?" "Let''s kill him and continue our invasion." "Stop being an idiot and let us help you." "You have already embarrassed the entire demon race. If you don''t want to join us, just move aside. We will kill him for you." The few demon kings who rushed to help the mid-level demon king became angry and mocked him. "..." The mid-level demon king was embarrassed to even more when he heard the words from his fellow demon kings and red at Ajax. "Let''s kill him together." After thinking for a few seconds, the mid-level demon king agreed to receive help from his fellow demon kings and nodded his head. "Haha¡­no wonder you, demons, don''t have any pride." Looking at the dozen demon kings who were walking toward him, Ajax could not help butugh out loud and mocked them. "Fine. Come at me quickly, let''s wrap it up as soon as possible." Ajax didn''t give any time for them to speak as he asked them toe at him. ''I need to finish these bastards and save Westin before hepletely bes a mindless creature.'' Ajax looked at Westin in the distance and decided to finish the demon kings as soon as possible. Chapter 1358 Westin’s punching technique

Chapter 1358 Westin''s punching technique

''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Ajax was thrown more than 20 meters by Westin as Ajax''s body cleared all the iing demons at Westin. ''Cough'' Even though Ajax was still in the aqua dragonkin form, he was severely injured by that, making him cough a mouthful of blood. Seeing the scene of Ajax being thrown by Westin so casually, all the demons around Westin were a little scared to attack him. ''Hey, don''t bother attacking those two monsters.'' ''Yes. From the looks of it, they are not on good terms. Let''s wait until they kill each.'' ''Even if one of them dies, it will save a lot of time for us.'' ''Yes, Demon kings.'' After thinking for a moment, all the demon kings came to a conclusion that they should not bother Westin and Ajax and let them fight each other without any disturbance. Also, they didn''t forget to order their minions to attack them as they knew it would not be easy for either Ajax or Westin without sacrificing a lot of demon kings. Soon, all the demon kings and their minions avoided Westin and Ajax and rushed toward other humans to kill. "Why are you stopping me from killing my enemies?" As no demons were approaching him, Westin became angry and when his eyesnded on Ajax who was still on the ground, he directed all his anger at him while asking him a question. ''Sacred Astral Energy'' Ajax gritted his teeth and without any hesitation, he used his Sacred Astral Energy to heal his internal and external injuries. Even though Ajax felt it was a bit of a waste to use the Sacred Astral Energy to heal his injuries, he didn''t have the luxury to wait for his ''Self-recovery'' to heal his injuries as it would take quite some time. ''As long as I finish today''s two missions, everything is worth it.'' However, when he thought about the two missions that he had toplete today, he didn''t feel using Sacred Astral Energy was a waste of his resources. ''Ding, The host lost contact with the special demonic entity. ''Ding, Pleasee into contact with the special demonic entity to absorb the special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host used the sacred astral energy to heal his injuries and returned to his peak form. As Ajax gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, he received a series of system notifications in his head that made him reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Oh. So, all I need to do ise into contact? Good.'' Ajax was not disappointed that he failed to absorb the special demonic energy from Westin''s demonic form; instead, he felt relieved that he could absorb the special demonic energy as long as touches Westin. "I asked you why are you stopping me from killing my enemies? Are you on their side?" Just as Ajax was feeling hopeful aboutpleting the special mission, Westin was already in front of him and threw a punch at him. ''Damn it¡­Teleport.'' Ajax didn''t hesitate to teleport from his ce and dodged the punch by a couple of inches. ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Ajax appeared a few meters away from Westin; however, he could not help but groan in pain from the ce where Westin was nning to punch him a few seconds ago. ''I clearly dodged the punch but why am I still feeling such pain.'' Ajax was confused as he looked at Westin who was frowning at Ajax''s sudden teleportation. "You dodged? Let''s see how you are going to dodge this time." As soon as he finished his words, Westin rushed toward Ajax and within no time, he was already in front of Ajax and threw another punch at him. ''Teleport'' Even though Ajax didn''t expect Westin to have such an insane speed, he was able to teleport himself before Westin''s punchnded on him. ''Aargh'' However, Ajax still felt pain even when he dodged the punch. ''Damn it¡­why am I still feeling pain without being hit by him?'' Ajax raised his brows and questioned himself as he looked at Westin''s hands. ''Don''t tell me it has something to do with the special demonic energy.'' It was the only reason that Ajax could think of in the current situation; however, that reason didn''t fully convince him. "Aargh¡­you are starting to annoy me." Westin was barely maintaining his consciousness and when he saw that Ajax dodged his punch twice, he was unable to control his anger any longer. "I am going to kill you, you demon spy." When Westin was first attacked by Ajax, Westin assumed that Ajax was a demon spy. Once he assumed that, he was no longer thinking much about it other than killing Ajax. The thing is, right now, Westin just needed a reason to kill a talented human like Ajax. As soon as he finished his words, Westin used his speed and punches together to attack Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Punch'' ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Punch'' ''Teleport'' Westin continued to throw punches at Ajax whereas Ajax was using his teleportation skill to dodge them. Even though Ajax was dodging the punches, Ajax still felt the pain and it was annoying him. ''The pain I am feeling is already this much without receiving the punch. What if I receive an actual punch?'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax could not help but shiver a little. ''Ding, The aqua dragon bloodline will be deactivated in a minute. As Ajax was already having a headache with Westin''s punching technique, Ajax received another bomb from the system. Even though Ajax has other trump cards, he was not willing to use them this early in the demon invasion as it would put him at a disadvantageter. ''However, if I save Westin, the human race will gain a powerful fighter.'' Ajax didn''t have any problem killing a mid-level demon king in the aqua dragonkin form; however, he was not able to do anything against Westin. This proves that Westin was a lot stronger than regr high-level king realm cultivators. So, Ajax''s determination to save Westin increased by another level. Chapter 1359 Demon Hearts

Chapter 1359 Demon Hearts

As the guardian of the Purple stone world, Elder Boron knew the origins of the bloodline belonging to the Purple stone world with a single nce. So, when he saw Ajax use his aqua dragon bloodline to transform into a dragonkin, he was searching for the true owners of that bloodline. ''Looks like they still haven''t noticed that a human awakened their bloodline with a ''Transformation skill''...Haha.'' In the crowd, Elder Boron found the members of the ''House of Dragons'' and revealed a slight smile on his face. The members of the ''House of Dragons'' are not humans; instead, they were humanoid aqua dragons or also known as Dragonkin. Even though the Purple stone world is considered a human world, there are few humanoid races that were able to maintain the top rank because of their abilities and battle prowess. Among those races, the aqua dragon race is one of them and they are the only humanoid dragon type race that was able to establish in the Xacaster province. ''Should I provoke them a little?'' Elder Boron acknowledges that the members of the ''House of dragons'' have exceptional battle prowess; however, because of their arrogant nature and some old memories made him dislike them. Also, he knew what the members of the ''House of dragons'' hated the most and it was the awakening of their bloodline by a human. So, he was tempted to provoke them a little. ''No¡­since the invasion this time is much bigger than any invasions from the past, I should stay quiet.'' Nevertheless, Elder Boron decided not to provoke them as he knew sooner orter they would notice Ajax who had not only awakened their bloodline but he could also temporarily turn into a dragonkin. ¡­.. The fight between the humans and the demons continued as more and more demons continued toe out of the portal. As time continued to pass, the cannon fodder demons started decreasing as more and more king realm demons rushed out of the portal. ''I need to save Westin andplete the mission.'' ''Ding, The host killed 10 demon kings and gained 10000 spirit points and 5 demon hearts. As for Ajax, he was not wasting any time as he knew that the more time he wasted on the demon kings, the chances of saving Westin were decreasing. So, within a few moments, he killed the demon kings that came toward him before rushing toward Westin. ''Demon hearts? I wonder where I can use them.'' Ajax raised his eyebrows when he heard the system notification; however, he didn''t bother to check the information on the demon heart because they were not going anywhere. "All demon kings, kill that human brat first." Since the number of the demon kings is high now, more and more demon kings rushed at him after seeing his exceptional battle prowess. ''Blessed refining cultivation technique, circte.'' Maybe because of his dragonkin transformation or the battle prowess increment he received from it, Ajax didn''t show any fear as he circted the crude version of the Blessed refining cultivation technique without any hesitation. As he continued to rush towards Westin, Ajax used his sharp dragon ws to pierce the demon kings'' hearts. ''Westin, just hang in there. I am going to save you.'' Right now, Ajax''s main goal was to save Westin because as long as he saved Westin, the human race would have a powerful king realm cultivator which increases their chances of winning against the demon race. ''Puchi'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' Within a few moments, Ajax had already cleared almost all the demon kings around him along with the cannon fodder demons. ''Damn it¡­he is rushing towards the portal now.'' Since Ajax had taken care of most of the demon kings around him, Westin didn''t have good opponents to fight with. So, he started rushing towards the portal as there were hundreds of demons kings in front of the portal. ''Lightning cloud steps'' Without much choice, Ajax used his movement technique and rushed toward Westin, who was killing all the demon kings on his way towards the portal. ''I need to stop him before going any further.'' If they go too close to the portal, Ajax could barely take care of himself, not to mention he had to save Westin, in order to finish the mission. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax started using teleport without any hesitation and caught up to Westin in no time. ''Looks like there is no need to talk with him.'' In Westin''s current state, Ajax doubted that he could talk with Westin. Because, right now, Westin''s waspletely covered in a dense ck coloured energy. His eyes were pitch ck and he was wearing battle armour along with a sword in his hands that was made up of the same ck energy. Overall, Westin looked like an evil war god that was born to kill. So, he decided to not waste his words by talking and directly went into action. ''Let''s see where the ''Dragon transformation'' can overpower the current Westin.'' ''Teleport'' As soon as he decided what to do next, Ajax directly teleported from his ce and appeared behind Westin and tightly held him in his arms. ''Let''s absorb the special demonic energy now.'' Ajax didn''t know whether he could hold Westin for long or whether he could absorb the special demonic energy in his current form; however, Ajax was not the type to give up without giving it a try. ''Ding, Detected the special demonic energy. Do you want to absorb it? Just as Ajax was trying to absorb the special demonic energy, he received the system notification which made him reveal an ear to ear smile on his face. ''What are you waiting for? Let''s devour all the special demonic energy.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax gave the order to the system to absorb the special demonic energy. "You dare to stop me from killing my enemies?" However, just as Ajax was about to absorb the special demonic energy, Westin''s rough voice could be heard as he grabbed Ajax''s hand and casually threw him aside. Chapter 1360 Westin’s punching technique

Chapter 1360 Westin''s punching technique

''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Ajax was thrown more than 20 meters by Westin as Ajax''s body cleared all the iing demons at Westin. ''Cough'' Even though Ajax was still in the aqua dragonkin form, he was severely injured by that, making him cough a mouthful of blood. Seeing the scene of Ajax being thrown by Westin so casually, all the demons around Westin were a little scared to attack him. ''Hey, don''t bother attacking those two monsters.'' ''Yes. From the looks of it, they are not on good terms. Let''s wait until they kill each.'' ''Even if one of them dies, it will save a lot of time for us.'' ''Yes, Demon kings.'' After thinking for a moment, all the demon kings came to a conclusion that they should not bother Westin and Ajax and let them fight each other without any disturbance. Also, they didn''t forget to order their minions to attack them as they knew it would not be easy for either Ajax or Westin without sacrificing a lot of demon kings. Soon, all the demon kings and their minions avoided Westin and Ajax and rushed toward other humans to kill. "Why are you stopping me from killing my enemies?" As no demons were approaching him, Westin became angry and when his eyesnded on Ajax who was still on the ground, he directed all his anger at him while asking him a question. ''Sacred Astral Energy'' Ajax gritted his teeth and without any hesitation, he used his Sacred Astral Energy to heal his internal and external injuries. Even though Ajax felt it was a bit of a waste to use the Sacred Astral Energy to heal his injuries, he didn''t have the luxury to wait for his ''Self-recovery'' to heal his injuries as it would take quite some time. ''As long as I finish today''s two missions, everything is worth it.'' However, when he thought about the two missions that he had toplete today, he didn''t feel using Sacred Astral Energy was a waste of his resources. ''Ding, The host lost contact with the special demonic entity. ''Ding, Pleasee into contact with the special demonic entity to absorb the special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host used the sacred astral energy to heal his injuries and returned to his peak form. As Ajax gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, he received a series of system notifications in his head that made him reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Oh. So, all I need to do ise into contact? Good.'' Ajax was not disappointed that he failed to absorb the special demonic energy from Westin''s demonic form; instead, he felt relieved that he could absorb the special demonic energy as long as touches Westin. "I asked you why are you stopping me from killing my enemies? Are you on their side?" Just as Ajax was feeling hopeful aboutpleting the special mission, Westin was already in front of him and threw a punch at him. ''Damn it¡­Teleport.'' Ajax didn''t hesitate to teleport from his ce and dodged the punch by a couple of inches. ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Ajax appeared a few meters away from Westin; however, he could not help but groan in pain from the ce where Westin was nning to punch him a few seconds ago. ''I clearly dodged the punch but why am I still feeling such pain.'' Ajax was confused as he looked at Westin who was frowning at Ajax''s sudden teleportation. "You dodged? Let''s see how you are going to dodge this time." As soon as he finished his words, Westin rushed toward Ajax and within no time, he was already in front of Ajax and threw another punch at him. ''Teleport'' Even though Ajax didn''t expect Westin to have such an insane speed, he was able to teleport himself before Westin''s punchnded on him. ''Aargh'' However, Ajax still felt pain even when he dodged the punch. ''Damn it¡­why am I still feeling pain without being hit by him?'' Ajax raised his brows and questioned himself as he looked at Westin''s hands. ''Don''t tell me it has something to do with the special demonic energy.'' It was the only reason that Ajax could think of in the current situation; however, that reason didn''t fully convince him. "Aargh¡­you are starting to annoy me." Westin was barely maintaining his consciousness and when he saw that Ajax dodged his punch twice, he was unable to control his anger any longer. "I am going to kill you, you demon spy." When Westin was first attacked by Ajax, Westin assumed that Ajax was a demon spy. Once he assumed that, he was no longer thinking much about it other than killing Ajax. The thing is, right now, Westin just needed a reason to kill a talented human like Ajax. As soon as he finished his words, Westin used his speed and punches together to attack Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Punch'' ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' ''Punch'' ''Teleport'' Westin continued to throw punches at Ajax whereas Ajax was using his teleportation skill to dodge them. Even though Ajax was dodging the punches, Ajax still felt the pain and it was annoying him. ''The pain I am feeling is already this much without receiving the punch. What if I receive an actual punch?'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax could not help but shiver a little. ''Ding, The aqua dragon bloodline will be deactivated in a minute. As Ajax was already having a headache with Westin''s punching technique, Ajax received another bomb from the system. Even though Ajax has other trump cards, he was not willing to use them this early in the demon invasion as it would put him at a disadvantageter. ''However, if I save Westin, the human race will gain a powerful fighter.'' Ajax didn''t have any problem killing a mid-level demon king in the aqua dragonkin form; however, he was not able to do anything against Westin. This proves that Westin was a lot stronger than regr high-level king realm cultivators. So, Ajax''s determination to save Westin increased by another level. Chapter 1361 Bet

Chapter 1361 Bet

''Even though 50 percent of my pain is shared with the ''Tree of blessing'', I am still feeling this much pain. I should definitely avoid his punches.'' Ajax looked at Westin with slight fear in his eyes and continued to think, ''Since this dragonkin form will disappear soon, I need to use another trump card.'' Since the system had already informed him about the deactivation of the aqua dragon bloodline, Ajax started thinking about other trump cards that would help him in saving Westin. ''I can''t use the abyssal beast god bloodline right now.'' Among his trump cards, he directly eliminated the thought of using the abyssal beast god bloodline because it would be more effective when he summoned his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Ajax was very sure that he would be using this bloodline but he knew it was not time yet. ''Spirit merger bloodline is also not very useful.'' Currently, most of Ajax''s elemental spirits were on the mission of world-conquering and left with the elemental spirits with average battle prowess except for Prophis. "Die, you traitor." As Ajax was thinking about which trump card to use next in order to save Westin, Westin didn''t waste any time as he already appeared in front of Ajax before throwing a punch. ''Damn it¡­how did his speed increase so much all of a sudden?'' Ajax was shocked at the speed at which Westin appeared in front of him and wanted to use his teleportation skill. ''Punch'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Cough'' However, it was toote for Ajax as Westin''s punchnded on Ajax which made him fly a dozen meters away while coughing a mouthful of blood. ''Aargh'' Ajax felt the pain from his broken bones and could not help but groan in pain. "Huh? You are still alive after receiving my punch?" Westin was surprised to see that Ajax was still alive and slowly walked towards him as he said, "Just because you have talent, you think you are invincible, right? I will break all the bones in your body and make sure you know how to treat untalented cultivators in your next life." Even though Westin was surprised that Ajax was still alive, he decided to vent his frustration from all the bullying and mocking he received from others. ¡­. ''Damn it¡­looks like the situation is out of control.'' Elder Boron, who was watching the fight between Ajax and Westin became furious when he saw Ajax''s condition. Even though he was known for keeping his emotions in control, Elder Boron''s heart ached when he saw Ajax coughing blood. With a look, he could tell that Ajax was severely injured and definitely need some healing or medical care. So, he instantly disappeared from his ce and appeared in front of Ajax. "Stop" With a single word from his mouth, Westin was stopped by some invisible force that made him look like a statue. "Wait for a moment. I will decide the punishment after checking his condition." Elder Boron looked at Westin with an angry look in his eyes before checking on Ajax, who was on the ground as he asked, "Ajax, are you okay?" "Huh?" However, when Elder Boron checked Ajax''s condition, he could not help but frown and looked at Ajax with a surprised look on his face. ''How is this possible? I definitely heard the bone-cracking sounds.'' As an Emperor realm cultivator, Elder Boron''s senses were top-notch as he could hear the bone-breaking sounds even from such a long distance. However, when he checked Ajax''s condition, Elder Boron was unable to sense a single internal injury. ''Huh?'' As he was wondering about how there were no internal injuries in Ajax''s body, Elder Boron noticed that the external injuries on Ajax''s body also started healing at a visible speed. ''Looks like he gained some incredible healing skill.'' Elder Boron was only surprised for a moment because he knew the secret behind Ajax''s rapid growth. ''With such a skill, his chances of surviving in that ce would be very high.'' Even though Elder Boron knew that Ajax would have some incredible skills and cultivation techniques, he never expected Ajax to have such a powerful self-healing skill. However, what he didn''t know was that the so-called powerful self-healing skill was in fact not an actual skill; instead, it is just an energy that could heal any type of injury. "Grandpa, I am perfectly alright." All of a sudden, Ajax opened his eyes and replied to Elder Boron''s earlier question. "Ajax, you have worked hard. Take a rest for some time." Seeing that all the injuries on and in Ajax''s body were healed, Elder Boron asked him to take some rest. Until now, Ajax had killed thousands of demons and among them, there were even nearly two hundred demon kings. For a level 2 elite general realm cultivator, killing a demon king was already considered a great achievement; however, Ajax already achieved so much in thest couple of hours. Moreover, the war with the demon race would not end anytime soon as more and more demons woulde out of the portal. So, Elder Boron asked Ajax to take a rest for now and continue fighting the demon after that. "Don''t worry about me, Grandpa. As I said, I can''t rest today." Ajax stood up from the ground as he looked at Westin, who was trying his best to move; however, he was unable to move from his ce. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything." Elder Boron knew that once Ajax made up his mind, he would not listen to anyone. So, he didn''t try to stop Ajax. "However, don''t bother fighting him. He is clearly out of your league." Nevertheless, Elder Boron asked Ajax to stop fighting with Westin. "Huh? Out of my league?" Ajax raised his brows for a moment before revealing a slight smile on his face and said, "How about we make a bet then?" "Bet?" "Yes, bet. I will defeat him in less than five minutes." Ajax confidently replied to Elder Boron while maintaining a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1362 Elder Boron and a no-cultivation young man

Chapter 1362 Elder Boron and a no-cultivation young man

It was not that Ajax was obsessed with defeating Westin on his own. It was because of the special mission that he had to defeat and save Westin on his own without any help from others. ''Even though the system didn''t mention that I should not take the help from others, it would definitely degrade the rewards. Moreover, if I take grandpa''s help, the rewards might be negligible.'' Looking at Westin, who was stopped by Elder Boron with a single word, Ajax shook his head as he silently thought in his head. "Bet? Sure. What are the stakes?" Elder Boron raised his brows for a moment; however, seeing how confident Ajax was, he nodded his head and asked about the bet. "I want to know more about my parents." Ajax didn''t have to think much about it as he directly said what he wanted if he defeated Westin in five minutes. "Sure." Elder Boron seemed like he already knew about it and nodded his head without much thought. At the same time, he continued asking, "What if you can''t defeat him in five minutes? What are you going to give me?" ''I will give you a normal dwarf world.'' Ajax had already prepared for Elder Boron''s question because he knew Elder Boron would not wager without equal stakes. Even though it seemed like Ajax was putting high stakes, for him, knowing about his parents was something invaluable. So, without any hesitation, he decided to put the normal dwarf world at a stake. ''Huh? A normal dwarf world? How did¡­?'' Elder Boron was having mixed emotions when he heard Ajax''s secret voice transmission in his head. ''You don''t ept my stakes?'' Ajax asked Elder Boron with a yful smile on his face. ''No¡­no¡­no.'' Elder Boron didn''t hesitate as he repeatedly nodded his head and continued to transmit his voice, ''I will go back and watch the fight then.'' Without wasting any time, Elder Boron disappeared from his ce and appeared on the huge stage with an excited smile on his face. ''Looks like he had grown to a much higher level than I imagined.'' Even though there was no proof whatsoever regarding the normal dwarf world, Elder Boron didn''t doubt Ajax. Moreover, he was not coveting the normal dwarf world from Ajax; instead, he wanted to help Ajax to make full use of the dwarf world because he knew how valuable a smaller dwarf world was...not to mention, Ajax had a normal dwarf world in his possession. ''It is all because of that artifact.'' Elder Boron thought about the system which was capable of creating miracles and continued thinking, ''Where did Vaugh get such a powerful artifact?'' ''Speaking of Vaugh, his origins are still a mystery to me.'' Elder Boron thought back to his one and only disciple and son-inw with a serious look on his face as he thought back to the time when he met Ajax''s father for the first time. ¡­.. Half a century ago, ''I have to break through to the emperor realm before those cunning b*stards.'' In the depths of the inner section of the Cursed wilderness, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged under a huge tree as he muttered to himself while circting his cultivation technique. As he started circting his cultivation technique, the essence of nature from tens of kilometers rushed into his body; however, even with such an insane amount of essence of nature, his spirit consciousness was not even filled by one-fourth. He was none other than Elder Boron, who was yet to be an Emperor realm cultivator. ''If those b*astards know such a ce exists in this lowly province, they would cough blood even in their dreams.'' Elder Boron was happy that he found a good cultivation spot in the Zrochester province which was way better than any cultivation spot in the Xacaster province. ''Phew¡­finally my spirit consciousness is filled.'' Nevertheless, it didn''t take much time for Elder Boron to fill his spirit consciousness as he opened his eyes to see a young man staring at him with a curious look on his face. ''Huh? A young man without any cultivation? How did he get here without me noticing?'' ''Is he an emperor realm cultivator? Is he hiding his cultivation?'' Various questions went through Elder Boron''s head as he looked at the eighteen-year-old young man in front of him. At the same time, he raised his guard to escape if the young man abruptly attacked him. That''s right! Elder Boron was scared of the young man who didn''t have any cultivation because when cultivators became Emperor realm cultivators, they could perfectly hide their cultivation from other cultivators who had lower cultivation. ''A gentle soul? It is very rare to find in humans.'' At the same time, the young man silently said something to himself before walking toward Elder Boron. "Young man, what do you want?" Even though Elder Boron was scared when he saw the young man walking towards him, he clenched his fists and asked in a calm tone. "I want to be your disciple." The young man stopped in his tracks and looked at Elder Boron for a moment before replying to Elder Boron''s question in a respectful tone. "Huh?" Elder Boron was surprised at the young man''s words for a moment as his anxious heart became normal. Once he heard those words, Elder Boron concluded that the young man was not hiding his cultivation; instead, he had yet to begin his cultivation. ''Even though he is definitely a human, he looks suspicious.'' Elder Boron didn''t ept the young man as his disciple or reject him; instead, he was thinking about it. For some reason, Elder Boron felt like epting the young man as his disciple; however, the young man was very suspicious of him. "By the way, I already went through the summoner-awakening and became an official universal summoner." Seeing that Elder Boron was hesitating, the young man replied with a slight smile on his face. "Offical universal summoner? What is that?" Chapter 1363 Universal summoner

Chapter 1363 Universal summoner

"Offical universal summoner? What is that?" Elder Boron looked at the young man in front of him and asked with a question mark on his face. ''Huh? This world''s cultivators didn''t even know about it?'' The young man was surprised by Elder Boron''s reaction as he thought, ''Looks like this world has just be a normal world.'' There was a disappointed look on his face for a moment; however, he reced it with a slight smile on his face before replying to Elder Boron. "Universal summoner is a summoner who can form contracts with any type of elemental spirit regardless of their elemental nature." "So, you can form contracts with any type of elemental spirit¡­Wait¡­what did you say?" Elder Boron nodded his head as though it was something normal; however, when he realized what that meant, he was shocked and looked at the young man in a new light. "A dual elemental summoner can form contracts with two types of elemental spirits, a triple elemental summoner can form contracts with three types of elemental spirits whereas a universal elemental summoner can form contracts with all types of elemental spirits." That young man exined in detail, urging Elder Boron to ept him as his disciple without any hesitation. "Still, it is not enough for you to be my disciple." Nevertheless, Elder Boron controlled his urge and shook his head at the young man. ''Huh?'' This time, it was the young man''s turn to get surprised by Elder Boron''s reply as he never expected that someone would still hesitate to ept him as a disciple after revealing about ''Universal summoner''. "So, what are the qualifications to be your disciple?" However, the young man felt Elder Boron was the right master for him. So, without any hesitation, he asked about the qualifications. ''...'' Elder Boron looked at the young man for a few moments before saying, "I can tell you that you don''t have any evil intentions and never killed a human or a spirit beast in your life." "Without any cultivation, you are able to reach the depths of the Cursed Wilderness which shows you have your own secrets. Also, your origins are quite suspicious." "I don''t want a disciple with so many secrets and mysterious origins." As soon as he finished his words, Elder Boron released a small portion of his cultivation pressure to suppress the young man in front of him. ''Putong'' Of course, the young man had yet to begin his cultivation. So, he could not handle Elder Boron''s cultivation pressure and fell to his knees. "I don''t care about your secrets as everyone has their own; however, I am quite interested in your origins. So, tell me¡­you are not from his world, right?" With an evil smile on his face, Elder Boron walked toward the young man. "Cough¡­Haha¡­.cough." With each step Elder Boron walked toward the young man, he started coughing blood; however, at the same time, the young man startedughing, making Elder Boron frown. "Why are youughing?" With an angry look on his face, Elder Boron asked the young man regarding hisughter. "The evil look on your face¡­it looks funny¡­Haha." Even in his current situation, the young man didn''t feel any fear; instead, he answered Elder Boron''s question honestly while continuing hisughter. ''This brat¡­is he tired of living?'' Elder Boron felt frustrated with the young man''s reply andughter as he increased the pressure a little more to make the young man suffer more. "I am going to kill you today if you are not going to reveal your origins." Elder Boron guessed that the young man in front of him was definitely from a greater world. Even though he didn''t know why the young man had yet to start his cultivation at his current age, he felt more and more curious about the young man''s origins. ''His aura, his attire and his deposition¡­it is not something someone from this world will have.'' Looking at the young man''s robes that looked simple from the far but exquisite from close. The more he looked at the young man in front of him, the more Elder Boron wanted to take him as a disciple; however, before that, he wanted to know about the young man''s origins. ''Connect me with others.'' Even though he was maintaining a nonchnt look on his face under such powerful pressure, the young man was experiencing great pain; however, just as he muttered those words, the cultivation pressure he was experiencing disappeared without a trace. "I am just an orphan who was lucky enough to be a universal summoner. So, there is no need for my master to worry about me." Once he used his trump card, the young man stood up from the ground as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied to Elder Boron. ''What the¡­'' Elder Boron was shocked to see the young man was unfazed by his cultivation pressure all of sudden. Another thing that made him quite shocked was the young man''s simple reply about his origins. ''He is definitely telling me the truth.'' However, he was sure about one thing the young man was not lying even a bit when he replied. ''Is he really just lucky enough to be a universal summoner? But what about his disposition and attire?'' Elder Boron looked at the young man with some doubt in his eyes. Bing an official summoner or official universal summoner is definitely rted to luck; however, the aura and disposition could not be attained with luck as one needs to go through so many things in life to attain those things. "I don''t know whether you believe my words or not, I am telling the truth." The young man bowed to Elder Boron and continued saying, "Please ept me as your personal disciple, master." "Brat¡­you are¡­really something." Elder Boron didn''t have any words to describe the young man in front of him; however, he revealed a slight smile on his face and asked, "What is your name, brat?" "Disciple Vaugh greets master." ****** Chapter 1364 [Bonus chapter]Demonic Ajax versus Demonic Westin

Chapter 1364 [Bonus chapter]Demonic Ajax versus Demonic Westin

"Disciple Vaugh greets master." The young man greets Elder Boron while mentioning his name with a bright smile on his face. "Good." Elder Boron was still doubtful regarding Vaugh''s origins; however, he believed that Vaugh was definitely an orphan. Compared to how talented Vaugh was, Elder Boron felt there was nothing to worry about Vaugh''s origins. ''The reason we met each other in the depths of the Cursed wilderness shows that it is fate. Let''s see whether taking him as my disciple will end up as a good thing or bad thing.'' Elder Boron looked at the sky for a moment before looking at Vaugh and asked, "Brat, weren''t you scared when I released my cultivation pressure? I even said that I will kill you. I can tell you that you have a lot of courage, but I will say that you are foolish." "Master, did you really think I would stand in front of you if I was not confident to face you?" Vaugh rubbed the back of his head as he replied to Elder Boron with a simple smile on his face. "As for my courage, you can say I have a lot; however, I have other things other than courage." Elder Boron didn''t say anything as he silently listened to Vaugh before asking, "And what are they?" "My first official elemental spirit and my first elemental skill." Vaugh replied to Elder Boron; however, he didn''t say anything about the elemental spirit or his elemental skill. "Also, as a fellow summoner, you must know how important it is to keep them a secret. So, don''t ask about them." Before Elder Boron could ask him about those things, Vaugh said that he would keep them as secrets for now. "Fine¡­fine¡­let''s begin your training." Elder Boron was not angry at Vaugh because he could understand Vaugh''s concerns and decided to give him some time. ''Since he is a universal summoner, he can be an Emperor realm cultivator or he might even surpass it. All I have to do is properly train him while providing good cultivation resources.'' Elder Boron had his own reasons for taking Vaugh as his disciple; however, he didn''t forget to keep an eye on Vaugh as he didn''t trust Vaughpletely. ... Present. ''Even though Vaugh caused so many troubles, there is not a single moment I regret taking him as my disciple. Moreover, my horizons are broadened and now I have a grandson whose potential is unlimited. So, it is a good thing I took him as my disciple.'' Elder Boron answered himself to the question which he asked himself when he took Vaugh as his personal disciple. ''Anyway, let''s see whether Ajax can defeat that cultivator surrounded by the ck energy within five minutes.'' Soon, Elder Boron came out of his thoughts and looked at Ajax, who was about to start his fight with Westin. ''Since there is no use in activating my other two bloodlines, I will just use the trump card I gained in the Five elemental world.'' Meanwhile, Ajax was looking at Westin who became free from Elder Boron''s grasp and came to a conclusion regarding which trump card he had to use against Westin. "You have allies in the human race. No wonder, you are so daring to openly reveal the fact that you are working for the demon race." Because of Elder Boron''s skill of immobilization, Westin became even more angry as he absorbed more special demonic energy from the demonic corpses around him. Since Elder Boron helped Ajax, Westin assumed he was also a demon spy; however, he knew he could not kill him after experiencing how powerful Elder Boron was. Nevertheless, he could take care of Ajax as he collected more special demonic energy while he was in a state of immobilisation. "Hm¡­let''s have a showdown between the special demonic energies." As for Ajax, he didn''t bother with Westin''s words because Westin had already lost his sense of reasoning. Without any hesitation, he decided to use his trump card. ''I feel a lot stronger than usual.'' After the dragonkin form was cancelled, Ajax''s body returned to the human form. His body''s condition doesn''t seem bad at all; instead, it seemed even better than before he transformed into an aqua dragonkin. ''I wonder whether there will be any boost for the demonic form.'' Thinking about the boost in the demonic form, Ajax excitedly activated the demonic form. "Demonic form, activate." Soon, the ck coloured energy called special demonic energy came out of Ajax''s body and started surrounding him. "Let''s see whether your demonic form is powerful or mine." Ajax said to Westin with an excited smile on his face before rushing towards Westin. Since Westin was also using the special demonic energy, Ajax was looking forward to the fight. However,pared to Ajax''s demonic form, Westin''s demonic form looked a lot more scary and at the same time, the special demonic energy around Westin was more in quality and quantitypared to Ajax. "I am going to kill you." Westin stopped in his tracks for a moment when he saw Ajax transform into the demonic form because he felt some sort of connection with Ajax; however, it was very weak and seeing Ajax rushing towards him, Westin didn''t think much before rushing towards Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Both of them used their full speeds and threw a punch at each other. ''Boom'' Their fists came into contact as a small explosion urred between them which sted Ajax into the distance. "You think you can defeat me just with that much special demonic energy? Wake up, kid." Westin''s eerie voice resounded from the dust as he walked towards Ajax and pointed at his ck armour, gauntlets, armguard and other essories on his body. "Do you know what? I was able to condense these essories using the special demonic energy whereas you are barely able to control the special demonic energy." Westin scoffed at Ajax as he continued, "So, just give up and let me take your special demonic energy." Chapter 1365 Definitely not an easy mission

Chapter 1365 Definitely not an easy mission

While saying that, Westin ced his hand on Ajax as though he was trying to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. Even though Westin was able to umte the special demonic energy from the demons he killed, it was pitifully lesspared to the special demonic energy Ajax had in his body. ''I have to kill at least 1000 demon kings to umte the special demonic energy in his body.'' Westin silently muttered to himself as he ced his hands on Ajax, who was on the ground. ''Ding, The host is in contact with a demonized human. Do you want to resume absorbing the special demonic energy? Just as Westin ced his hand on Ajax''s head, Ajax received a system notification in his head, making him reveal an excited smile on his face. ''Let''s see who will absorb whose special demonic energy.'' Because of Elder Boron''s special training in the past, Ajax was especially good at sensing and gathering all types of the essence of nature or energies around him. So, Ajax was confident that he would absorb the special demonic energy from Westin''s body when Westin tried to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. ''Yes.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax gave permission to the system the absorption of the special demonic energy from Westin''s body. ''Ding, Initiating the special demonic energy absorption. Please maintain contact with the demonized human for safe absorption. The system gave the confirmation as it started the absorption process. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, the evil smile on Westin''s face disappeared as he looked at demonized Ajax with a shocked look. ''How could this brat try to steal my special demonic energy with his low cultivation.'' This was the only thought in Westin''s head when he felt that his special demonic energy was slowly entering Ajax''s body. Because of that, the flow of entire special demonic energy inside Westin''s body was disrupted. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the essories on Westin''s body that were made up of the special demonic energy disappeared for a split second before appearing on his body. ''Wh¡­at¡­happened¡­.to¡­me?'' With the disruption of the special demonic energy inside Westin''s body, Westin''s consciousness returned for that split second. He looked around only to see that he waspletely surrounded by the demons who were fighting humans. At first, it was only for a split second; however, as Ajax continued to absorb the special demonic energy, Westin''s body blinked between the human form and demonic form as Westin''s consciousness gained control over the body. ''I remember fighting the demons but¡­I feel like I am possessed by something.'' Westin didn''t understand what was happening to him as he looked at the demonized Ajax and thought, ''Who is this? Why am I keeping my hand on his head?'' It was Westin''s first time seeing such a being. So, of course, he was shocked and confused. ''But, why did my hand be like this and when did it happen¡­arghh.'' What shocked and confused Westin, even more, was, his hand which lookedpletely different from a human hand. His head waspletely filled with questions and he could not take it anymore as he shouted out loud in pain. ''Go back to sleep¡­you idiot.'' As Westin''s human consciousness was groaning in pain, the demonic consciousness returned and forcefully suppressed the human consciousness before taking over Westin''s body sessfully. ''Looks like it is working.'' As for Ajax, he felt the special demonic energy was entering his body in a slow pace; however, he was satisfied to see that Westin was able to return to human form. Even though Westin was unable to keep the human form for more than a second, Ajax felt it was good because it was working. ''As long as I absorb all the special demonic energy inside his body, he will bepletely normal.'' Ajax was a little excited as the mission was much easier than he initially thought. ''Even if Westin''s body and soul are injured after I absorb all the special demonic energy, I can heal him with my Sacred Astral Energy.'' He also thought of the side effects of absorbing the special demonic energy from Westin''s body and prepared a solution for it. ''This brat is definitely not normal. I have to use my full power to absorb my special demonic energy from his body.'' Even though the demonic consciousness had already taken over Westin''s body, he didn''t remove his hand from Ajax''s head and allowed Ajax to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. ''Let''s see what good your absorption skill is.'' With a scoff, the demonized Westin ced his other hand on Ajax''s head and started absorbing the special demonic energy with his full power. Within no time, all the special demonic energy that Ajax absorbed from Westin was absorbed back by Westin. ''What the¡­'' Ajax didn''t expect Westin to have an insane speed of absorbing the special demonic energy from him. ''At this rate, I will be sucked dry off my special demonic energy.'' Even though the special demonic energy is considered evil energy, it was still very useful for Ajax. Moreover, he tamed that special demonic energypletely. So, he didn''t have any worries about losing control of the special demonic energy. Also, he didn''t want to lose the special demonic energy as it would make his ''Demonic form'' trump card useless. "Advanced demonic spatial des." Ajax thought only for a brief moment before knowing what he had to do. ''Instead of absorbing the special demonic energy from his body directly, I need topletely defeat him. Only then, I will not have any problem absorbing the special demonic energy.'' Finally, Ajax understood why the mission ''Save Westin'' was very difficult because he could not absorb the special demonic energy without defeating Westin first. ''Swoosh'' Soon, hundreds of ckish azure coloured spatial des came out of the portal that appeared in front of Ajax. "Nothing can prate my defence." Looking at the iing spatial des, Westin scoffed at Ajax and didn''t bother to dodge them. Chapter 1366 Westin’s final trump card

Chapter 1366 Westin''s final trump card

''ng'' ''ng'' ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Swoosh'' Because of Ajax''s demonic form, the skill ''Advanced spatial des'' had a hidden demonic attribute to it which increased its power a lot. Even with such a boost from the demonic form, almost all the spatial des were unable to break Westin''s defence. "Huh? Not bad. You are able to make a dent in my armour." Westin looked at the small dent in his ck coloured armour with a surprised look on his face before reply to Ajax with a slight smile. Even though he was surprised with Ajax''s skill, it didn''tst for long as he had already received great shocks from Ajax. Compared to those shocks, making a dent in his armour was nothing. "But do bad. It is not enough to deal with me." The demonized Westin was proud of himself as he scoffed at Ajax and resumed the absorption of the special demonic energy. Earlier, when the spatial des wereing at him, Westin temporarily stopped the absorption of the special demonic energy to increase his defense. Since the threat had passed, Westin resumed it without wasting any time. ''After I absorb all the special demonic energy in his body, I can easily be a high-level king realm cultivator and with my battle prowess, I can even defend myself in front of an average emperor realm cultivator.'' As for Westin, he was looking forward topletely absorbing the special demonic energy from Ajax''s body to be a high-level human king. "Actually, I am not expecting much from my ''Advanced spatial des''." Ajax looked at Westin who was having a smug look on his demonized face and scoffed at him before shouting, "Let me show you the real terror." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax caught Westin''s both hands and revealed a slight smile on his face before saying, ''Absolute darkness.'' ''Huh?'' Westin didn''t understand why Ajax looked so confident; however, he didn''t dare to underestimate Ajax after seeing his battle prowess. So, he temporarily stopped the absorption of the special demonic energy from Ajax and increased his physical defense to the maximum as he still didn''t know what kind of attack Ajax was using now. ''Swoosh'' ''Huh? What is¡­..arrgh.'' Westin raised his guard to the maximum; however, before he could know, a ck light entered his head and in the next moment, he felt an unbearable pain in his head. ''Putong'' While groaning in pain, Westin fell to his knees as he tried to pull back his hands from Ajax''s head. "Where are you nning to go now? Didn''t you want to absorb my special demonic energy?" Ajax was already expecting Westin''s reaction. So, he already caught Westin''s hands with full power. Because of the countless nightmares and pains in his head, Westin was able to use his full power, making him unable to pull his hands back from Ajax''s hands. ''Thanks to the demonic form, absolute darkness became a terrifying skill.'' It was a known fact that all his skills and cultivation techniques would be powerful when he was in the demonic form; however, ''absoutle darkness'' is a dark/ demon attributed skill which was boosted even further than the regr skills. "As you experience nightmares and pain, I will injure you even further." Without wasting any time, Ajax used ''Advanced spatial des'' repeatedly at Westin who was kneeling on the ground. Even though the skill ''Absolute darkness'' looked very powerful, Ajax knew that the skill''s effects won''tst for much longer on Westin. So, he decided to injure Westin as much as possible before the skill''s effects disappeared. ''ng'' ''sh'' ''Puchi'' Even though most of the spatial des were deflected by the special demonic armour on Westin''s body, a few of them dealt a good damagepared to the first time Ajax used that skill. ''Inheritance sword.'' As he used the ''advanced spatial des'', Ajax didn''t forget to summon his inheritance sword and started shing at Westin to speed up the process of defeating Westin. ''Looks like I will be defeating him in less than five minutes.'' Ajax didn''t forget his bet with the Elder Boron and wanted to defeat and save Westin within five minutes. ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Finally, after a minute of repeated use of the spatial des and the inheritance sword, Westin''s ck armour brokepletely as it dissipated in thin air. "Aargh¡­I am going to kill you b*stard." The cries of Westin increased as he felt both physical pain and mental pain, making him go crazy. Soon, the speical demonic energy inside Westin''s body came out along with his two cultivator souls. That''s right! The demonized Westin finally decided to use his two king realm cultivator''s souls to defeat Ajax. As for the effects of the ''Absolute darkness'', they disappeared; however, Westin''s body was severely injured and if he could not kill Ajax for reducing him to such a state, demonized Westin couldn''t break through to the next realm because Ajax would be his inner demon who stops from breaking through to Emperor realm in the future. That''s the reason why he was going all out in killing Ajax. ''Huh? You can use the cultivator''s soul in your demonic form?'' Ajax was still holding one of Westin''s hands as he looked at the two transparent souls behind Westin''s body. When Ajax was in the five elemental world, he tried to use his cultivator''sw in his demonic form; however, he was unable to use it. So, when he saw Westin use the cultivator''s soul which was an upgraded level of the cultivator''sw, he was shocked. ''Damn it¡­I need to hurry up.'' Ajax knew that he needed to hurry up because thebination of demonic form and two cultivation souls would make Westin invincible in the King realm. He might even kill an average low-level emperor realm culitvator with such battle prowess. ''I need to save Westin at any cost as it will be an invaluable asset to the human race and the Purple stone world.'' Chapter 1367 Merging the cultivator’s souls

Chapter 1367 Merging the cultivator''s souls

With the sudden increase in Westin''s battle prowess, Ajax didn''t have any ns to give up on saving Westin; instead, his determination to save Westin increased even more. With a powerful cultivator like Westin on his side, their chances of defeating the demons would increase by another level. ''This is getting interesting.'' Ajax felt the current situation was interesting where he had to defeat a powerful mid-level king realm cultivator; however, at the same time, he should be careful not to kill him in the process. Ajax liked to have challenges and saving Westin is one of those challenges where he should not give up without giving his all. "Cultivator''s souls, merge." Even though Westin''s body waspletely covered in injuries, he didn''t show any pained expression on his face as he shouted all out. ''What? He is going to merge his cultivator''s souls?'' When Ajax heard Westin''s shout, he was shocked as he hurriedly looked at the two cultivator''s souls behind Westin which were slowly merging together. "I can''t give him any time to merge his cultivator''s souls." Fighting two cultivator''s souls is already a difficult thing for Ajax and if those two cultivator''s souls merge together, then Ajax would have no hope of defeating Westin. So, he decided not to give any time for Westin to sessfully merge the cultivator''s souls. ''Looks like I have to increase my cultivation now.'' Even though Ajax''s demonic form was very powerful, it was not invisible because of his low-cultivation. So, the first thing he thought of was to increase his own cultivation. ''System, I want to use all the normal world cores in my possession to increase my cultivation.'' Even though Ajax didn''t have many world cores in the inventory, it was not small either. So, he was confident that after using all the world cores in his possession, he would be able to defeat Westin. ''Ding, Do you want to merge all the smaller world cores? ''Yes.'' Ajax nodded his head as he gave permission to the system to merge the smaller world cores. Even though he could directly use the smaller world cores to increase his cultivation; instead of merging them into normal world cores before using them, Ajax didn''t want to do it. Because the battle prowess gained by using the normal world cores is way better than the battle prowess gained by using the smaller world cores to increase the cultivation realm. ''If I had time, I would have used Greater world cores to increase my cultivation realm; however, it needs 100 smaller world cores to merge into a single greater world core.'' Ajax thought about how difficult it is to produce a single great world core and shook his head. Actually, if Ajax had a few high-level king realm elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts, he could start conquering the normal worlds as it would only take 10 normal world cores to produce one greater world core. However, he still didn''t reach the level where he could storm into a normal world and take its normal world core. ''I should be content with using normal world cores to increase my cultivation. By the time, I be a peak elite general realm, my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts would be even more powerful, then it will be easier for me to conquer a normal world.'' Generally, Ajax likes to be greedy; however, when ites to conquering the normal world, he was suppressing it and waiting for him to be fully confident in conquering a normal world. ''Ding, Merging all the smaller world cores into normal world cores. ''Ding, Adding together with the existing normal world cores, the host has a total of five normal world cores. ''Ding, Do you want to use them all to increase your cultivation to level 7 elite general realm? As Ajax was thinking about world cores and all, he received a series of system notifications in his head. ''Five level increment in my cultivation is not a bad thing.'' After a quick nce at the system notifications, Ajax nodded his head as he used all the normal world cores in his inventory. For him, defeating Westin is the second topmost priority. So, he didn''t have to think much about using all his world cores in increasing his cultivation. ''Ding, Five normal world cores are consumed. Ding, The host''s cultivation will be increased from level 2 elite general realm to level 7 elite general realm. If there is any pain, please bear with the pain. Soon, the five normal world cores in Ajax''s inventory disappeared as he felt his spirit consciousness was forcefully expanding by some mysterious force. ''Herees the pain.'' Ajax already got used to the pain thates from increasing his cultivation through the world cores. So, he steeled his nerves as he waited for the process toplete. ''The merging between the cultivator''s souls is a lot slower than I thought.'' As he is using the world cores to increase his cultivation, Ajax didn''t forget to check the merging of Westin''s cultivator''s souls. Even after a few minutes, the cultivator''s souls only merged by around 25 percent, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''At this rate, I will finish increasing my cultivation and defeat Westin before he could finish merging his cultivator''s soul.'' Even though it seemed like Ajax could absorb the special demonic energy from Westin, Ajax felt it would be dangerous to go near Westin in his current state. So, he wanted to increase his cultivation before he could do anything to Westin. Right now, both Westin and Ajax werepeting with each other against time. The one whopletes the preparation of their trump card first would have a high chance of defeating their opponent. ''Looks like he is also preparing for the final blow.'' Westin also looked at Ajax and silently thought to himself before increasing the speed of merging between the cultivator''s souls. ''Faster¡­faster.'' Westin gritted his teeth as he urged his cultivator''s souls to merge as soon as possible. Chapter 1368 Definitely not an easy mission

Chapter 1368 Definitely not an easy mission

While saying that, Westin ced his hand on Ajax as though he was trying to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. Even though Westin was able to umte the special demonic energy from the demons he killed, it was pitifully lesspared to the special demonic energy Ajax had in his body. ''I have to kill at least 1000 demon kings to umte the special demonic energy in his body.'' Westin silently muttered to himself as he ced his hands on Ajax, who was on the ground. ''Ding, The host is in contact with a demonized human. Do you want to resume absorbing the special demonic energy? Just as Westin ced his hand on Ajax''s head, Ajax received a system notification in his head, making him reveal an excited smile on his face. ''Let''s see who will absorb whose special demonic energy.'' Because of Elder Boron''s special training in the past, Ajax was especially good at sensing and gathering all types of the essence of nature or energies around him. So, Ajax was confident that he would absorb the special demonic energy from Westin''s body when Westin tried to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. ''Yes.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax gave permission to the system the absorption of the special demonic energy from Westin''s body. ''Ding, Initiating the special demonic energy absorption. Please maintain contact with the demonized human for safe absorption. The system gave the confirmation as it started the absorption process. ''Huh?'' All of a sudden, the evil smile on Westin''s face disappeared as he looked at demonized Ajax with a shocked look. ''How could this brat try to steal my special demonic energy with his low cultivation.'' This was the only thought in Westin''s head when he felt that his special demonic energy was slowly entering Ajax''s body. Because of that, the flow of entire special demonic energy inside Westin''s body was disrupted. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the essories on Westin''s body that were made up of the special demonic energy disappeared for a split second before appearing on his body. ''Wh¡­at¡­happened¡­.to¡­me?'' With the disruption of the special demonic energy inside Westin''s body, Westin''s consciousness returned for that split second. He looked around only to see that he waspletely surrounded by the demons who were fighting humans. At first, it was only for a split second; however, as Ajax continued to absorb the special demonic energy, Westin''s body blinked between the human form and demonic form as Westin''s consciousness gained control over the body. ''I remember fighting the demons but¡­I feel like I am possessed by something.'' Westin didn''t understand what was happening to him as he looked at the demonized Ajax and thought, ''Who is this? Why am I keeping my hand on his head?'' It was Westin''s first time seeing such a being. So, of course, he was shocked and confused. ''But, why did my hand be like this and when did it happen¡­arghh.'' What shocked and confused Westin, even more, was, his hand which lookedpletely different from a human hand. His head waspletely filled with questions and he could not take it anymore as he shouted out loud in pain. ''Go back to sleep¡­you idiot.'' As Westin''s human consciousness was groaning in pain, the demonic consciousness returned and forcefully suppressed the human consciousness before taking over Westin''s body sessfully. ''Looks like it is working.'' As for Ajax, he felt the special demonic energy was entering his body in a slow pace; however, he was satisfied to see that Westin was able to return to human form. Even though Westin was unable to keep the human form for more than a second, Ajax felt it was good because it was working. ''As long as I absorb all the special demonic energy inside his body, he will bepletely normal.'' Ajax was a little excited as the mission was much easier than he initially thought. ''Even if Westin''s body and soul are injured after I absorb all the special demonic energy, I can heal him with my Sacred Astral Energy.'' He also thought of the side effects of absorbing the special demonic energy from Westin''s body and prepared a solution for it. ''This brat is definitely not normal. I have to use my full power to absorb my special demonic energy from his body.'' Even though the demonic consciousness had already taken over Westin''s body, he didn''t remove his hand from Ajax''s head and allowed Ajax to absorb the special demonic energy from his body. ''Let''s see what good your absorption skill is.'' With a scoff, the demonized Westin ced his other hand on Ajax''s head and started absorbing the special demonic energy with his full power. Within no time, all the special demonic energy that Ajax absorbed from Westin was absorbed back by Westin. ''What the¡­'' Ajax didn''t expect Westin to have an insane speed of absorbing the special demonic energy from him. ''At this rate, I will be sucked dry off my special demonic energy.'' Even though the special demonic energy is considered evil energy, it was still very useful for Ajax. Moreover, he tamed that special demonic energypletely. So, he didn''t have any worries about losing control of the special demonic energy. Also, he didn''t want to lose the special demonic energy as it would make his ''Demonic form'' trump card useless. "Advanced demonic spatial des." Ajax thought only for a brief moment before knowing what he had to do. ''Instead of absorbing the special demonic energy from his body directly, I need topletely defeat him. Only then, I will not have any problem absorbing the special demonic energy.'' Finally, Ajax understood why the mission ''Save Westin'' was very difficult because he could not absorb the special demonic energy without defeating Westin first. ''Swoosh'' Soon, hundreds of ckish azure coloured spatial des came out of the portal that appeared in front of Ajax. "Nothing can prate my defence." Looking at the iing spatial des, Westin scoffed at Ajax and didn''t bother to dodge them. Chapter 1369 Westin’s final trump card

Even with such a boost from the demonic form, almost all the spatial des were unable to break Westin''s defence. "Huh? Not bad. You are able to make a dent in my armour."

Even though he was surprised with Ajax''s skill, it didn''tst for long as he had already received great shocks from Ajax. Compared to those shocks, making a dent in his armour was nothing.

"Actually, I am not expecting much from my ''Advanced spatial des''." Ajax looked at Westin who was having a smug look on his demonized face and scoffed at him before shouting, "Let me show you the real terror." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax caught Westin''s both hands and revealed a slight smile on his face before saying, ''Absolute darkness.'' ''Huh?'' Westin didn''t understand why Ajax looked so confident; however, he didn''t dare to underestimate Ajax after seeing his battle prowess. So, he temporarily stopped the absorption of the special demonic energy from Ajax and increased his physical defense to the maximum as he still didn''t know what kind of attack Ajax was using now.

Chapter 1371 Forceful breakthrough to save time

''What''s happening over there?'' ''What are they?'' ''Are they on our side or on the demons'' side?'' ''Stop looking at them and focus on killing the demons.'' . . . As Ajax and Westin were preparing their final trump cards to deal with each other, all the humans and the demons were distracted by them and looked at them from time to time. Because of Westin''s and Ajax''s demonization, they don''t look like humans anymore. It was even more difficult in Westin''s case as he was fully covered in demonic essories all over his body. Nevertheless, they stopped looking at them because right now was not the time to get distracted. Westin and Ajax were not their opponents and even if they grouped together, they might not defeat either one of them. So, they decided to leave them for the powerful cultivators. ¡­ ''Huh? He is going to merge his cultivator''s souls with his mid-level king realm cultivation?'' From a distance, Elder Boron who was watching the fight between Ajax and Westin raised his eyebrows when he saw the merging of Westin''s two cultivator''s souls. ''How is this possible?'' He was unable to believe that Westin was capable of doing such a feat. ''Looks like Ajax is going to lose the bet.'' However, he suppressed his shock and silently muttered to himself. Even though it was an impossible feat for a mid-level king realm cultivator, Elder Boron had witnessed too many things since he met Ajax''s father Vaugh. So, he was quick toe to his senses and continued to observe the situation. ''What are you going to do, Ajax? Will you give up now?'' Elder Boron was not worried much about Westin because even with his merged cultivator''s souls, Westin could not defeat Elder Boron, who was a powerful Emperor realm expert. ''Huh?'' As he waited to see what Ajax was going to do, Elder Boron sensed that Ajax''s cultivation was increasing. ''A breakthrough?'' Elder Boron was pleasantly surprised with Ajax''s timely breakthrough because he knew it would greatly help Ajax against Westin. He was only pleasantly surprised but not shocked because breakthroughs in the middle of the battles are not unfamiliar to him. ''However, a single level increment in his cultivation would not help him defeat the merged cultivator''s souls.'' Elder Boron shook his head as he looked at Ajax, ready to save him when things went south. ''Huh? A double breakthrough?'' As Elder Boron observed Ajax, he felt Ajax broke through another level in his cultivation, giving him another surprise. ''He is definitely a monster just like his father? Having a single level breakthrough in the middle of a fight is already an achievement; however, he had a double breakthrough in a row.'' Elder Boron looked at Ajax andpared him with his father Vaugh. Elder Boron was already shocked by Ajax''s double breakthrough; however, if he knew that Ajax would be breaking through another four levels in a row, he would receive a heart attack for sure. ¡­ ''Still, four more levels to go.'' As for Ajax, he was looking forward to finishing his breakthrough to the level 7 elite general realm as soon as possible before defeating Westin. However, the breakthrough between his cultivation levels took more and more time. It only took a few seconds for him to break through his first level, but nearly half a minute for his second breakthrough. As for the third breakthrough, it took 45 seconds and the four breakthroughs is yet toplete. ''Even though I can reach level 7 elite general realm even before Westin could merge his cultivator''s soulspletely, I am going to lose the bet with Grandpa.'' His chances ofpleting the mission had increased with his back to back breakthroughs; however, he would be losing his bet with Elder Boron. ording to the bet, Ajax had to defeat Westin within five minutes; however, it''s been more than four minutes already and he had yet to finish his breakthrough, much less, defeat Westin. ''Never mind, I will find another way to make Grandpa speak about my parents.'' Clenching his fists, Ajax decided to find another way to find out more about his parents. ''For now, I willpletely focus on defeating Westin andpleting the mission.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax looked at Westin and his cultivator''s souls thatpleted 50 percent of the merging process. ''What the hell? How did his merging process be so fast?'' Ajax was shocked to see that the merging process of the cultivator''s souls is already 50 percent. ''Ding, The system detected that the demonized being is using his life force to speed up the merging process between his two cultivator''s souls. ''What? Burning his life force?'' Ajax was shocked to see the system notification as he felt anxious and hurriedly focused on his cultivation to speed up his breakthrough. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has increased to level 6 elite general realm. After a few seconds, he finally received a system notification he was expecting and felt a little better. ''Still, one more level to go.'' However, until now, his cultivation was increased one by four levels, leaving one more level. Without getting too excited, Ajaxpletely focused on thest normal world core which was slowly dissolving into liquid. The liquid is the purest form of the essence of nature that forcefully expands the walls of the spirit consciousness of a cultivator. ''Aargh'' Until now, Ajax didn''t feel much pain; however, this time, in addition to the force of the mysterious energy, Ajax was also applying some force in expanding the walls of the spirit consciousness which made him experience a lot of pain.'' ''I can endure this much pain.'' Even though it was very painful for Ajax, he continued to apply more and more force because he wanted to reduce the time for his level 7 breakthrough. ''Aargh¡­it is working.'' While groaning in pain, Ajax sensed that his method was working and became excited. ''Time for the final round.'' While gritting his teeth, Ajax applied a lot of force as he knew the breakthrough is around the corner. Chapter 1372 Level 7 elite general realm

Chapter 1372 Level 7 elite general realm

''What the¡­.did he just break four levels in a single go?'' Elder Boron, who was already surprised with two levels of upgradation in Ajax''s cultivation, waspletely shocked when he saw Ajax''s cultivation reach level 6 elite general realm. ''Is he using smaller world cores to increase his cultivation? But I only sent him four smaller world cores so far.'' As the supplier of the system, Elder Boron was able to guess that Ajax was increasing his cultivation with the help of the smaller world cores. That was the only reason why Ajax had scary battle prowess. For an average level 2 elite general realm cultivator, defeating a level 5 elite general realm cultivator was already an impossible feat, however, Ajax was able to go against a powerful mid-level king realm cultivator. So, of course, it was not very hard for Elder Boron to think about Ajax''s method of cultivation. Nevertheless, he was shocked by the fact that Ajax had already started collecting the world cores with elite general realm cultivation. ''What if he breakthroughs into the King realm and has a cultivator soul? Will he be able to kill Emperor realm cultivators?'' When he thought about it, Elder Boron could not help but be excited as he looked forward to Ajax''s growth. ''Kacha'' As Elder Boron was already shocked by Ajax''s four breakthroughs, there was another crisp sound as Ajax''s cultivation rose by another level, making him be a level 7 elite general realm cultivator. ''I should stop getting shocked from now on.'' Elder Boron muttered to himself as he tried not to get shocked by Ajax anymore. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 7 elite general realm. As for Ajax, he received a system notification regarding his cultivation, making him reveal an excited smile on his face. ''Time to finish the mission.'' Ajax felt like he had already wasted so much in fighting Westin. So, he didn''t want to waste any more time and wanted to wrap up Westin''s mission. ''The merging is still unfinished. I got this under control.'' The first thing he checked after increasing his cultivation was the merging process of two cultivator''s souls. After noticing that the process had yet to finish, Ajax was confident in defeating Westin before they finished the merging. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax disappeared from his ce and re-appeared in front of Westin, who was focused on merging his cultivator. ''Count down'' He used his official elemental skill from time elemental spirit Halo to slow down the time around him by four times. ''Absolute darkness'' ''Advanced spatial des.'' After that, he made Westin see nightmares in his head before releasing the spatial des. ''sh'' Also, he didn''t forget to use his inheritance sword to deal as much damage as possible to Westin. With the sudden spike in his cultivation, Ajax felt a lot more powerful and each of his abilities became even more powerful. ''ng'' ''Puchi'' ''Cough'' As Westin waspletely focused on merging his cultivator''s souls, he could not block or dodge Ajax''s attacks and painfully endure them. Finally, after a few moments, Westin could not endure the pain and coughed a mouthful of blood. ''Boom'' As for the two cultivator''s souls behind him, they disappeared with a small explosion that sted both Ajax and Westin into the distance. ''Damn it¡­this is unexpected.'' Even though Ajax was already expecting Westin to use some kind of attack against him, the explosion of the cultivator''s souls waspletely out of his expectations. ''However,pared to me, he injured even more with his own attack.'' Ajax searched for Westin and after seeing the unconscious Westin in the distance, Ajax shook his head. However, what Ajax didn''t know was, that it was not Westin who made his cultivator''s souls explode; instead, it happened because of the continuous attacks from Ajax. It made Westin lose his focus for a brief moment which messed up the merging process between the two cultivator''s souls that resulted in an explosion. ''Finally, I defeated him.'' Ajax felt relieved when he looked at the unconscious Westin in the distance as he rxed on the ground. ''Wait a second¡­just defeating him will not give me any reward. I need to save him toplete the mission.'' As he looked at the sky to take a small break, Ajax suddenly thought of the objective of the mission and became anxious. ''Teleport'' With an anxious look on his face, Ajax used the teleportation effect to appear beside the unconscious Westin. ''Phew¡­he is still alive.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed Westin was still alive; however, he was in a critical condition. ''In his current condition, absorbing the special demonic energy will only harm his life even more.'' The objective of the special mission was to save Westin; however, the reason why Westin was still alive was because of the special demonic energy. Without it, he would have already died with such injuries on and in his body. ''But, healing him will only make things difficult for me.'' Ajax hesitated a little when it came to healing Westin with his Sacred Astral Energy because, once Westin''s injuries are healed, they would be fighting once again. ''Hm¡­will it work? System, what do you think?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and wondered whether it would work or not? So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, It is possible. ''Ding, However, for that to happen, the host needs to be fully focused and should not be disturbed by any external force. ''Should not be disturbed?'' With the system''s reply, Ajax felt a little excited; however, looking at his surroundings, he muttered, ''In this time environment, it is impossible not to get disturbed.'' Even though Ajax and Westin were not disturbed by any demons until now, it would not be possible now because of the unconscious Westin. ''Looks like it is finally time for my summons to show themselves in front of the world.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax toe up with a solution as he revealed a slight smile on his face. "Everyone,e out now." Chapter 1373 First order of demon apostles

Chapter 1373 First order of demon apostles

For Ajax, saving Westin was crucial because he needed someone like Westin for his future battles. Moreover, he didn''t want to miss the rewards from the ''Choice based quest''. ''ording to the rewards, not only will my demonic form be upgraded, but I can spin the roulette filled with world cores.'' Whenever he felt like giving up any mission, Ajax would always think about the rewards and get the motivation toplete them. Moreover, the rewards this time were hard to give up for him. So, he was fully focused on saving Westin. ''I can do it¡­it is not as difficult as I imagined.'' Currently, Westin was lying on the ground as Ajax was sitting beside him cing his both hands on Westin. On one hand, Ajax was injecting his Sacred Astral Energy to heal Westin''s injuries and on the other hand, he was absorbing the Special Demonic Energy. ''Slow and steady.'' Ajax was not rushing things as he was already having trouble in controlling two types of energies at the same time and the moment he increased the speed of either injecting or absorbing, Ajax''s ns on saving might be ruined. On the surface, it seemed like an easy task for Ajax; however, only Ajax knew how hard it was for him to maintain an equal pace for both the energies. ¡­. In a normal demon world. "Sir demon apostle, there is a young human who summoned so many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." One of the demon kings hurriedly informed a demon apostle. Even though the demons should not report things about young humans to the demon apostles, the young human this time waspletely out of ordinary. So, the demon kings felt they should report it to the demon apostle. "Just take care of him." However, the demon apostle shook his head as he asked the demon kings to take care of him. Currently, the demon apostle was sleeping and he felt a little annoyed to get disturbed by the demon king. So, he just asked them to take care of it. ''For a world that barely qualifies to be a normal world the demon emperors already sent so many troops. ''What kind of young genius will a normal world have?'' These were the thoughts in the head of the demon apostle as he went back to sleep. Behind that demon apostle, there were another two demon apostles who were also rxing because they never knew when they would have an easy mission. "I think you should know about him before giving such orders." As the demon king was about to rush back to join the invasion, a mocking voice came from the distance as a peak-level demon king walked towards the demon apostle. "This..bastard." The demon apostle in charge of managing the demon army was annoyed with those words and he also knows who dared to say such words. "Daen, what did you say?" Standing from his ce, the demon apostle looked at the peak-level demon king and asked with an angry look on his face. "Looks like you are sleeping for so long that your hearing has be bad." Dawn scoffed at the demon apostle and shook his head with a pitying look on his face. "Damn it¡­I have had enough of you. Let me teach a lesson that you will not forget in your life." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the demon apostle directly appeared in front of Daen and threw a powerful punch. "I have been itching for a fight with you for a while now." However, Dawn didn''t even bother to dodge the iing punch as he replied to the demon apostle with a slight smile on his face. "Boom" When everyone was expecting Daen to be sted into the distance, theplete opposite had happened in front of their eyes. Instead of Daen, the one who sted away was the demon apostle. "What?" "There is something off about Sir Daen. Did you notice that?" "When did Sir Daen be so powerful?" "Did he already be an emperor realm cultivator?" "No. He is still in the peak king realm; however, he seemed to have some kind of enlightenment that helped him be powerful enough to defeat the low-level demon emperors." . . . All the demon kings on the sidelines were shocked and tried to understand how Daen became so powerful in such a short time. "So, do you still want to fight? I am more than happy to y with you¡­Haha." Daen was enduring the humiliation from the demon apostles for nearly a hundred years and finally, he gained the power to defeat the first order of the demon apostles. So, of course, he was not holding back anymore. The personal demon apostles of the five demon emperors were divided into three orders depending on their cultivation with first-order demon apostles being the weakest ones. For any world invasions, only first-order demon apostles would be sent out whereas the second-order and third order demon apostles would participate in battles against Geater worlds. "No¡­need." The demon apostle finally understood why Daen was not backing down anymore. Usually, Daen would behave arrogantly; however, he would not fight the demon apostle. Nevertheless, everything is changed now that Daen had the battle prowess equivalent to defeating the first order demon apostles. After seeing how powerful Daen had be, that demon apostle didn''t hesitate to back down. "Since I defeated you, I will get your apostle rank, right?" Daen asked that demon apostle with a slight smile on his face. "Y..yes." The demon apostle nodded his head before going back to his ce. "You don''t have to clean it for me. I don''t mind sitting on it." Just as the demon apostle was about to sit in his ce, Daen''s words came from behind and he hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from his space ring and wiped clean that chair. "Now¡­let''s get to the main point." With a smile, Daen sat in that chair as he looked at the demon king from before and asked, "Tell me about that young man." Chapter 1374 Daen takes control

Chapter 1374 Daen takes control

"Tell me about that young man." Compared to the regr first-order demon apostles, Daen was different. If he noticed anything out of the ordinary, he would pay a lot of attention to understand it. So, when he heard about a young human genius who could summon so many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, his interest was piqued and decided to know more about him. "Yes, Sir Daen." Even though Daen was yet to be an official first order demon apostle, all the demon kings were respectful to him. It was the same for the demon king who rushed to inform about Ajax earlier. "He looks around 16 years old and had a cultivation of the level 2 elite general realm when we started the invasion¡­.." With a respectful look on his face, he started informing about everything that Ajax disyed so far. With a level 2 elite general realm cultivation, he killed mid-level demon kings. He temporarily transformed into aqua dragonkin and increased his battle prowess multifold. He transformed into a demonic being which not only increases his battle prowess but also upgrades his skills and techniques for a limited time. He broke through five levels in a single go and became a level 7 elite general realm cultivator. Thest and most important one, he summoned more than 20 elemental spirits with various attributes and more than 10 contracted spirit beasts with powerful bloodlines. What''s more, among these contracted spirit beasts, there was even a King realm devourer eagle king. "He is definitely a monster." As he learned about what Ajax did from the start of their invasion to until now, Daen was shocked over and over again andbelled Ajax as a ''Monster''. "We need to kill him at any cost." Without any hesitation, Daen decided to kill Ajax at any cost because such a human should not be left alive. At such a young age, he was able to achieve so many things and if they left him alive any longer, it would do no good for the demon race. "I am thinking of doing the same thing, Sir Daen." The demon king hurriedly nodded his head as he very much agreed with Daen. "Wake them up." Nodding his head at the demon king, Daen nced at the demon apostle standing beside him. "Yes." The demon apostle defeated by Daen was also shocked after learning about Ajax''s skills and battle prowess. So, without any hesitation, he rushed to wake up after two golden demon apostles. "What is it?" The two other demon apostles were, of course, not happy when they were disturbed from their sleep as they angrily asked the weakest demon apostle about it. "Daen took the full charge of our army and he is asking you two to meet him." The weakest demon apostle thought about something as he replied to them as briefly as possible. ''Since you two always mock me, let''s see how you feel when you are beaten up by Daen.'' That demon apostle was the weakest among the three demon apostles and he was often made to work a lot. So, he decided to toy with them a little with ''Borrowed hands''. "What the hell?" "Is he finally tired of living or what?" The two demon apostles became furious when they heard the weakest demon apostle''s words and cursed Daen. "Take care of him." The strongest among the three demon apostles asked the second strongest demon apostle to take care of it. "Sure." The second demon apostle nodded his head as stood up from his ce and scoffed at the weakest demon apostle, "B*astard, can''t you take care of him with your strength?" "Sorry." The weakest demon apostle apologised with an embarrassed face; however, deep down, he was excited to see how Daen would beat the shit out of him. "Hey, Daen, I heard you are causing¡­" ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Before the second demon apostle could finish his words, Daen appeared in front of him and threw a punch that made the second demon apostle fall to his knees. "Since we have a war to fight, I am letting you off with a simple punch." Daen scoffed at him and looked at the strongest demon apostle in the distance. "Will you follow my orders or should I just show you my power?" Daen didn''t want to waste any time as he wanted to take care of Ajax as soon as possible. So, he directly confronted the strongest demon apostle. "Daen, you think you can defeat me just because you defeated those¡­" ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Just like before, before the so-called strongest demon apostle could finish his words, Daen appeared in front of him, threw a punch and made him kneel on the ground. "Is it enough or let''s continue?" Daen asked with a slight smile on his face. "It''s enough. I will listen to what you say." Enduring the pain, the strongest demon apostle stood up from the ground and respectfully nodded his head at Daen. "Good." Daen was satisfied with the three first-order demon apostles and nodded his head before informing about Ajax to the other two demon apostles, who were equally shocked as Daen and the weakest demon apostle. "Contact the other demon apostles." Once he brought the three first-order demon apostles under his control, Daen ordered them to contract the other demon apostles. Since Daen wanted to kill the young human genius as soon as possible, he wanted to work with other demon apostles because ording to their information, there might be a guardian in the Purple stone world with an Emperor realm cultivation. Moreover, there were a lot of peak king realm human cultivators, who could even kill low-level emperor realm cultivators by working together. So, Daen didn''t want to take any risk and conquer the Purple stone world in a single sweep. "Sure." The three demon apostles understood what Daen was nning and followed his orders and started contacting the other demon apostles. "Let''s finish the young human genius and conquer the Purple stone world at the same time." Daen rubbed his hands with excitement as he wanted to test his battle prowess.

Chapter 1376 Oliver’s ambition

Chapter 1376 Oliver''s ambition

Daen tookplete control over the three demon apostles, the golden demon kings and their individual armies who joined in the invasion of the Purple stone world. As for the demon apostles of the other four demon emperors, they didn''t even listen about Ajax just like the three golden demon apostles. However, Daen forced the three golden demon apostles to inform all the details of the young human genius to those demon apostles, who were shocked and decided to go along with Daen''s n. "Finally, the showdown is near." After getting the acknowledgement for his n, Daen was fully satisfied as he started implementing the n. "Everyone,pletely focus on killing that human genius." Daen gave his first order to hundreds of high-level demon kings to kill Ajax at any cost. "There might be a couple of emperor realm cultivators. You three have to take care of them along with the other demon apostles." He didn''t forget about the human emperor realm cultivators; however, Daen was not worried much about them as their side had more emperor realm cultivators than the human side. Each demon emperor sent three of their personal first order demon apostles and each one of them had a cultivation of the low-level emperor realm. Moreover, Daen, who was yet to break through to the emperor realm had battle prowess enough to defeat the first order demon apostles with ease. So, a total of 16 emperor realm cultivators were on the demons'' side whereas on the humans'' side, having a couple of emperor realm cultivators was already a miracle. "Daen, I don''t think there are any emperor realm cultivators in that normal world." After hearing Daen''s order, one of the demon apostles gave his thoughts about the Purple stone world. "ording to the information we have on the Purple stone world, there used to be seven emperor realm cultivators; however, they fought themselves for some treasures and killed themselves." "For thest 15 years, they didn''t make an appearance in front of anyone and they might have even died for real." Unlike the regr demon apostles, Daen was different and had already done enough research before joining the invasion of the Purple stone world. So, he started exining the things he knew about the Purple stone world to the other demon apostles. "There is a possibility that there might not be a single emperor realm cultivator; however, at the same time, there is also a possibility that those seven emperor realm cultivators might be alive but recovering from their injuries secretly." "So, let''s prepare for the worst save and assume that there are seven emperor realm cultivators in the human world; however, we have a lot of advantage in numbers for both Emperor realm cultivators and the King realm cultivators." Daen was serious and at the same time, he asked everyone to be serious until they conquer the Purple stone world. "Okay." Even though no demon apostle likes Daen for acting as their leader, they don''t have anyints as they acknowledge Daen as the real deal. "Let''s go." Soon, Daen and the other 15 demon apostles rushed through the huge portal to enter the Purple stone world along with the high-level demon kings and their armies. ¡­.. ''Brother, shall we inform the master about it?'' ''There is only a single chance left for us tomunicate with the master. After that, we will be on our own to make the decisions regarding theplicated situations.'' ''Only one? Then it will be a problem for us if we mess up while taking the decisions on our own in the future.'' ''Let''s not bother about the future and just inform about the things that happened here.'' As everyone rushed into the portal behind the demon apostles, two high-level demon kings weremunicating through the voice transmission. These two high-level golden demon kings were none other than the two ves belonging to Ajax. Before these two left the Purple stone world, Ajax gave a distance voice transmission talisman; however, it had only three uses and these demon kings have already used two chances before, making them left with a single chance. That''s the reason why they hesitated a little bit before deciding to use it because if their master didn''t know about Daen''s ns, then it would be very hard for their master to survive today. ''Let''s do it.'' So, the golden demon kings informed Ajax about Daen''s n without wasting any more time. After informing Ajax about Daen''s ns, they joined with the other high-level demon kings to rush into the portal. ''Brother, our master is so young but he is very powerful and has so many secrets.'' ''Yes. That''s why I decided to be his ve. So, don''t think it was because of you.'' ''Haha¡­of course I know it is not true.'' ''You, little brat.'' Along the way, Ajax''s two demon ves started conversing and talking about their master and the bond between the brothers. ¡­.. In the Purple stone world. Thousands of king realm cultivators were doing their best in stopping the demon invasion from spreading all over the Purple stone. "Kill the demons." "We can do it." Even though the humans have differences among themselves, when there was an external threat, they would join their hands to fight against the threat together. ''The demon apostles areing?'' Oliver, the sect leader of the assassin sect received a voice transmission from who knows where and raised his brows. ''Why are theying so soon? What are they nning now?'' The assassin sect has had connections with the demon race for hundreds of years. So, of course, he knew about the invasion beforehand; however, when he heard the sudden rushing of the demon apostles, he felt something was wrong. ''Whatever, I will just do what I am supposed to do.'' He stopped killing the demons for only a moment before continuing his killing. Oliver didn''t want to stand out too soon and he was waiting for a perfect time to backstab the human race to be the Emperor of the Purple stone world. **** Chapter 1377 200 versus 1000

Chapter 1377 200 versus 1000

In this dog-eat-dog world, who doesn''t like having more power and control? The same goes for Oliver as he was eyeing that position for a while and he even made all the preparations with the help of his father famously known as ''Ancestor'', the one who established the assassin sect and made it be a powerhouse in the Xacaster province. Not only, Oliver, but there were also many others who were eyeing bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. King Stephen, the king of the Draton kingdom, King Louie Flerton, King Milo Brifftin and the list goes on; however,pared to them, Oliver was on a different level. Because he had a guardian father, the help of the demon race and a genius son. So, his chances of bing the emperor of the Purple stone world were very high as long as he yed his cards right. ''Looks like that brat Ajax attracted the attention of the demon apostle.'' Even though he decided not to think about the reason behind the sudden rushing of the demon apostles, many thoughts were going on in his head as he guessed the reason. ''I wonder which corner such a monstrous kid came from.'' Actually, he was shocked by Ajax''s abilities and the battle prowess and wanted to make him his underling; however, deep down he could tell that Ajax was arrogant and would not be anyone''s underling. ''If I can''t have him, it''s better to kill him to avoid future trouble.'' Even though Oliver could take care of Ajax right now, in the future, it would be a different story. For his ambition of bing the emperor of the Purple stone worlds, Oliver didn''t want to take any risks and safely send Ajax to the afterlife. ''But, the guardian will probably help that brat. Let''s see how powerful that guardian actually is.'' Oliver didn''t figure out Ajax''s origins yet; however, he was sure that the guardian would do everything in his power to help Ajax. However, he already knew how many emperor realm cultivators were on the demons'' side. So, he was waiting for the fight between Elder Boron and the demon apostles. ¡­. In a ce where the devourer eagle king wrapped its huge wings for Ajax to save Westin. ''What the hell? All the demon apostles are rushing here already?'' Ajax was shocked when he learned about Daen and his ns and felt a little anxious. ''No¡­I have to focus¡­I can''t be distracted now when I am about toplete my mission.'' Nevertheless, Ajax tried his best to stop thinking about Daen and the other demon apostles because, currently, his priority was to save Westin at any cost. After the simultaneous injection of Sacred astral energy and the absorption of the Special demonic energy, Ajax was about toplete his mission of saving Westin. So, he didn''t want to think about anything else. ''So far, I injected 20 units of sacred astral energy and his physical injuries arepletely healed but it looks like he received some soul injuries also.'' Earlier, Westin used his life force to increase the merging speed of his cultivator''s souls. So, Ajax guessed that Westin''s soul was injured a little bit as he continued to inject the sacred astral energy. ''As for the special demonic energy, I absorbed nearly 80 percent.'' Looking at Westin, who hadpletely transformed back into a human, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. Even in the critical situation, Ajax felt it would be all worth it as long as he saved Westin. ¡­ In front of the huge portal, "Everyone, stand back." As Ajax was focusing on saving Westin, all demon apostles along with high-level demon kings rushed out of the huge portal. As soon as they came out of the portal, the demon apostles ordered their armies to fall back. "Yes, Sir demon apostle." The five types of demon armies stopped fighting the humans and rushed back to the portal. Even though the cannon fodder demons and the low-level demon kings are expendable for the demon apostles during their invasion, they didn''t want to let them die in vain. "High-level demon kings, start the fight." Once the lowly demons went back, the demon apostles didn''t waste any time as they ordered the high-level demon kings to start the fighting. "Kill everyone. Leave no one alive." Daen and the other demon apostles shouted as they motivated the high-level demon kings. "Protectors and the heads of the top powers, protect the young ones, low-level cultivators and kill those demons." Elder Boron raised his brows with the sudden appearance of the demon apostles and with a nce, he could tell the cultivation of those demon apostles. So. without any hesitation, he ordered the high-level king realm cultivators from the humans'' side to protect the young and low-level cultivators. "Yes, guardian." Except for Oliver, the three protectors and the heads of the powerful families and sects hurriedly nodded their heads before rushing to the front to confront the iing high-level demon kings. "Die, you bastard." "You insects¡­do you think you can win against my mighty demon race?" "We have more numbers than you." "You are nothing but the demons. Even though we have fewer numbers, we rely on our exceptional battle prowess." Both humans and demons cursed each other as they started fighting. On the demon''s side, there were nearly 1000 high-level demon kings; however, on the humans'' side, less than 200 high-level king realm cultivators were present. Nevertheless, the humans were confident in dealing with such differences in numbers because of their battle prowess and weapons. "Erin, Nade, shall we create the formation?" Protector Olek killed a couple of high-level demon kings before asking the two other protectors. "Sure but we need at least one minute to set up that formation." Erin and Nade didn''t even hesitate in nodding their heads; however, Erin asked what they were going to do about that one minute they needed to set up the formation. "Don''t worry, I already asked for help." Protector Olek revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at three cultivators in the distance. Chapter 1378 Demon’s target:- Ajax

Chapter 1378 Demon''s target:- Ajax

Following the protector Olek''s gaze, both protector Erin and Nade saw three high-level kings fighting against the high-level demon kings in the distance. They were none other than King Louie, King Thomas and King Vincent. Even though they were not the most powerful cultivators among the six kings, they were not weak either. Moreover, Protector Olek trusts thempared to the other three kings. "Are you sure they can''t stall for some time?" In the eyes of the two protectors, they still have some doubts because as the protectors, they observed the six kingdoms and their kings for a long time. They always misuse their power and strive for more power even if it destroys the kingdoms. Moreover, there was also a huge difference in the high-level king realm cultivators between the humans and demons. So, it would be even more difficult for them to stall for time, even if it was only for a minute. So, they asked Protector Olek whether he was sure about his decision. "Don''t worry, they are more powerful than you think." Protector Olek assured him as he continued saying, "Even though they are overly ambitious, they hate demons to the core. Moreover, they hate to see the demons take over the Purple stone world." ''...'' After hearing Protector Olek''s words, the other two protectors didn''t have anything to say as they looked at the three kings that Protector Olek trusted. "Louie, Thomas and Vincent, you will take care of them for a minute, right?" Protector Olek knew that they didn''t have much time as he asked the three kings whether they could stall some time for them to set up the formation. "Of course." Vincent and the two other kings nodded their heads as he started summoning their elemental spirits. Even though there were around 200 high-level king realm human cultivators, each of them is a summoner and there were even a couple of cultivators who were dual elemental summoners among them. ''If only all our elemental spirits had king realm cultivation, it would have been a piece of cake for us to defeat these high-level demon kings.'' Protector Olek and the two other protectors looked at the king realm elemental spirits around them and sighed with a bitter smile. "Let''s start." With the assurance from the three kings, the three protectors started making preparations to set up a powerful formation to fight against the demons. ''Thunderstorm.'' ''Shadow prison'' ''Earthquake'' ''me fury'' As the three protectors were setting up the formation, the three kings summoned their elemental spirits and started attacking the demons even more viciously than before. A summoner with the cultivation of the king realm would have four official elemental spirits along with a minimum of four unofficial elemental spirits; however, just like humans, bing the king realm elemental spirit was not an easy task for them either. Each of these 200 high-level king realm cultivators had a minimum of one king realm elemental spirit and a maximum of three elemental spirit kings. However, only a few of these king realm elemental spirits reached the high-level king realm. Upon adding together the humans and their elemental spirits, there were only 300 high-level king realm cultivators on the humans'' side. Nevertheless, even with those numbers, the human cultivators were able to defend themselves against the demons. "Where is that young human genius?" Looking at the fight between the high-level king realm cultivators, Dawn asked one of the mid-level demon kings beside him. "Sir Daen, that human is hiding under the wings of that devourer eagle king." Everyone saw Ajax summon that devourer eagle king before hiding under its wings of it. So, that demon king directly pointed at the devourer eagle king to show Ajax''s hiding ce. "Is that so?" Dawn nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and thought about something, ''Shall I start the battle of Emperor realm cultivators already?'' ''No¡­not yet.'' Without any hesitation, Dawn rejected that thought as he looked at Elder Boron in the distance. ''The moment the emperor realm cultivator''s fight starts, that human genius might escape. So, it is better to take care of that so-called genius before going all-out war with humans.'' Soon, Daen focused on the huge devourer eagle king in the distance that waspletely surrounded by a group of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Everyone, attack the devourer eagle king and those summons of the young human genius." After thinking for a moment, Dawn gave an order to the entire demon army belonging to the golden demon emperor. "Yes, Sir Daen." All the golden demon kings nodded their heads and rushed towards the devourer eagle king along with the cannon fodder demon army. "What are you waiting for? Assist the golden demon army." The other demon apostles also gave a simr order as Daen. "Primordial demon army will support the golden demon army." "Great void demon army will do the same." "Don''t forget about the Nether demon army." "Astral demon army will take care of that young human genius." The remaining four demon armies joined the golden demon army and rushed towards the devourer eagle. Even though the primary objective of their mission was to take full control of the Purple stone world, right now, killing Ajax was the primary objective. Because if Ajax was left alive, the human race would be very powerful when he joined any organization from the great human worlds. So, at any cost, the so-called human genius must be killed today. "Everyone, protect Ajax." How could Elder Boron remain silent after seeing what the demons were nning? Without any hesitation, he ordered all the cultivators from the Purple stone world to protect Ajax. Earlier, Elder Boron had received a voice transmission from Ajax, requesting that he should not be disturbed at any cost for some time. However, since Ajax had already summoned his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Elder Boron didn''t think much as he was assured Ajax''s summons would do the job just fine. However, now, things have changed and he decided to order everyone to protect Ajax. Chapter 1379 Protectors’ formation

Chapter 1379 Protectors'' formation

Hearing Elder Boron''s order, no one was surprised or suspected that there might be a rtionship between Elder Boron and Ajax. As the guardian of the Purple stone world, not only was it his duty to stop the otherworldly invasions, but he also needed to protect the talented young cultivators like Ajax at any cost. Only when the talented young cultivators like Ajax were taken good care of and protected from the dangers, the Purple stone world would be stronger. "Everyone, let''s protect Ajax." "Yeah. We can''t let the demons kill him." "I will keep my life on the line to protect him." . . . The cultivators who hated demons to their core were the first to rush to stop the demons from attacking the devourer eagle king and Ajax''s other summons. Soon, more and more cultivators started joining them in order to protect Ajax. ''This bastard¡­I always felt a bad premonition from him. Looks like he will be the future emperor of the Purple stone world at this rate.'' ''I hope the demon apostles take care of him.'' . . There was a small portion of cultivators like King Stephen and Oliver who wanted Ajax to die today in the hands of the demons. After seeing Ajax''s full abilities, they were very sure that Elder Boron would definitely help him in bing the next emperor of the Purple stone world. So, they hoped the demons would kill Ajax. Nevertheless, they continued to kill the demons whereas Oliver was waiting for the perfect moment to show his loyalty to the demon race. ''Only if Vaugh and M were alive, it would have been a piece of cake for us to win against these demon bastards.'' Elder Boron started worrying as he felt the demons were having an upper hand with their crazy numbers. Even though Elder Boron was an emperor realm cultivator, he could not join the battle yet because the moment he joined, the emperor realm cultivators from the demons'' side would also join the fight. ''ording to the information I got from Ajax, there are a total of 16 emperor realm cultivators on the demons'' side. So, it is better to wait until all the high-level demon kings are taken care of.'' Elder Boron was just bidding the time as he was waiting for Ajax to save Westin. ording to Ajax, as long as he saves Westin, their chances of defeating the demon armies would increase a lot. ''Let''s hope he really has a way to stop the demon army.'' Even with his cultivation, Elder Boron was not confident in defending the Purple stone world against the demon army of such scale; however, as the guardian of the Purple stone world, it was his duty to protect it. ''As a guardian of the Purple stone world, I should protect it even at the cost of my life.'' After living for more than 100 years, Elder Boron viewed the Purple stone world as his home and to protect his home from invaders like the demon race, he was willing to give his life. "Also, I wonder how much longer it will take for them toe here." At the same time, Elder Boron was looking into the distance as though he was waiting for someone. ... Time continued to pass as the entire demon army except for the demon apostles and the high-level demon kings were rushing toward Ajax in order to kill him. As for the defenders against these rushing demons, Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts along with the devourer eagle king were trying their best to protect Ajax. Also, all the human cultivators except for those who want Ajax dead were also trying their best. "Protectors, you said it will only take one minute. It''s been nearly five minutes, what is taking so much time?" The three kings who were supposed to stall a minute for the three protectors were bing anxious and shouted at the protectors for taking longer than they initially said. "It''s done." As soon as theyined about it, Protector Olek replied with a loud shout as he continued, "You three can take a break. We will take care of these bastards." "You have contributed a lot this time. We owe you one." "Yes. Take a break and recover your essence of nature." The other protectors also joined protector Olek as they asked the three kings to take some rest. "..." Hearing those words, the three kings were speechless as they thought, ''If we didn''tin, they would have continued to set up the formation, right?'' "Protectors, please show us how powerful this formation is." Vincent looked at the huge circle on the ground and asked the three protectors to show its power. "Sure." Even if Vincent didn''t ask that, the three protectors were eager to show off their formation. So, of course, they nodded their heads without any hesitation. "All humans, retreat." As soon as they agreed, the three of them stood inside the circle and shouted using voice enhancing talismans. "Huh?" "What is that?" "Protectors are asking us to retreat?" "Looks like they were nning a huge attack." All the human cultivators who were busy fighting against the demons were attracted to the protectors'' words and hurriedly retreated. After the guardian of the Purple stone world, the human cultivators have full trust in the three protectors. So, as soon as they heard those words, without any hesitation, they retreated as they guessed the protectors were trying something. "Huh? A formation?" Daen and other demon apostles raised their brows when they heard the voice and looked at the protectors who were standing in the formation. "Everyone, get ready. I have a bad feeling about it." Daen felt a bad premonition when he saw the confident smiles on the three protectors and hurriedly asked the other demon apostles to prepare themselves for what wasing. ''sh'' The three protectors summoned a small knife and made cuts on their palms at the same time while chanting something in perfect synchronization. "Protector beast, it''s time to wake up from your slumber." Chapter 1380 Purple stoned Lion king

Chapter 1380 Purple stoned Lion king

The blood from their palms didn''t fall to the ground; instead, it floated in the air and moved towards the center of the formation. The three trails of blood merged together before dropping in the center and sshed everywhere in the formation. "Protector beast, it''s time to wake up from your slumber." In the next second, the three protectors shouted in unison after cing their bloodied palms on the ground. ''Slurp'' Because of the three protectors'' loud announcements, the battle between the demons and the humans stopped for a moment as everyone was wondering what the three protectors were trying to do. From the silence, everyone heard a loud slurping sound which made them shiver just hearing it. ''What is it?'' All the human cultivators and the demons unconsciously raised their guards and asked among themselves. However, no one knows about it as they could only look at the three protectors in the distance. "Sir Daen, are we just going to watch without doing anything?" "Yes, sir apostle. Shouldn''t we try stopping them from whatever they were trying to do?" . . . Even though the human cultivators were having a slight fear, they were not worried about what the protectors were nning to do because they were on their side. However, it was apletely different story for the demons as they were bing anxious with each passing second and hurriedly asked their respective high-level demon kings, who in turn, asked their demon apostles. "What if we get sucked by that strange formation? It looks like they were summoning a protector beast. Let ite out, we, demon apostles will take care of it." Earlier, Daen was also worried along with the rest of the demons; however, the moment he heard the words of the three protractors, he heaved a sigh of relief and felt it was not a big issue. ''No matter how powerful the so-called protector beasts would be, it would not be much more powerful than a low-level emperor realm cultivation, right?'' This was the thought Daen had in his head as he ordered his army to do nothing and wait until the protector beast came out of the strange formation. "As soon as the beastes out, let''s take care of it." At the same time, he informed the other demon apostles to join hands together to take care of the protector beast. ... "Roar" As everyone was waiting to see how the protector beast looked and how powerful it was, a loud roar resounded in the entire Purple stone world. ''When did they¡­.? How did they¡­do it?'' Even though all the human cultivators were clueless about the protector beast, Elder Boron knew about it; however, he waspletely shocked when he heard the roar of the spirit beast that was yet to make its appearance. ''Roar'' As Elder Boron was still unable to believe that the three protectors were able to wake the protector spirit beast from its slumber, a bright purple coloured light emitted from the formation. In the next second, a huge spirit beast appeared in the formation as the bright purple coloured light disappeared. ''It''s been more than 500 years since the protector beast made its appearance. It''s going to make things difficult for the demons.'' The shocked look on his face changed into an excited one as he looked at a 100-meter tall spirit beast in the distance. The so-called protector spirit beast resembled a lion; however, instead of having any flesh, its body waspletely made up of some purple crystal. Nevertheless, it made the protector spirit beast even more powerful as it eyed the demons in the distance. "Haha¡­I thought you will be summoning a powerful Emperor realm spirit beast; however, it is just a high-level king realm spirit beast." As Elder Boron was feeling happy that the protectors were able to summon the protector spirit beast, he heard Daen''s daughter who mocked the protectors and the summoner protector spirit beast. "Everyone, resume the fight." Since the protector spirit beast was just another high-level king realm spirit, Daen ordered everyone to resume their fight. "Yes, Sir Daen." Soon, the golden demon army rushed forward to resume their fight and the remaining demon armies also joined them too. All the high-level demon kings started fighting the high-level king realm human cultivators and the recently summoned protector spirit beast, whereas the remaining demons rushed towards the devourer eagle king to kill Ajax. Of course, Ajax waspletely defended by the devourer eagle king, his elemental spirits, his contracted spirit beasts and the human cultivators. "Roar" ''Kacha'' ''Chomp'' ''Swoosh'' In the battle between the high-level king realm cultivators, the protector spirit beast was showing its battle prowess, making Daen and other demon apostles furious. Within less than a minute, it already killed around 10 high-level demon kings. All it did was jump from one ce to another while picking the high-level demon kings with its mouth and munching on them. "Looks like no one under the Emperor realm can defeat this spirit beast." Even though they lost 10 high-level demon kings, Daen didn''t show any worry as he assessed the protector spirit beast with other demon apostles. "What do you think we should do?" From the moment the demon apostles entered the Purple stone worlds, Daen was giving the orders to the remaining demon apostles; however, this time, he decided to take suggestions from other demon apostles. So, he asked them for some ideas. "I think we should enter the battlefield and take care of things with our own hands." One of the great void demon apostles didn''t think much as he suggested what they have to do next. "I agree." "Yeah. Me too." "We already wasted too much time on this lowly normal world. It''s time we conquer it in a single sweep." Within no time, the rest of the demon apostles agreed with the great void demon apostle. "Okay then, let''s do it." Daen was already nning to wrap up the invasion as soon as possible. So, when he heard the suggestion, he nodded his head. Chapter 1381 Elder Boron joins the fight

Chapter 1381 Elder Boron joins the fight

"Keep the human casualties as minimal as possible." After saying that, Daen didn''t waste any time as he directly rushed towards the Purple stone lion king. As for why he wanted to keep the human casualties minimal, they were nning to make the humans of the Purple stone world into ves. All the first order demon apostles have the low-level Emperor realm cultivation and if they carelessly start attacking, it would kill thousands of king realm cultivators without a doubt. Since the true objective of the demon invasion was to conquer the Purple stone world and not the annihtion, Daen didn''t want the unnecessary killing of the humans. "We know that already." A few demon apostles scoffed at Daen as they released their cultivation pressure. Other than the three golden demon apostles, who joined Daen to attack the protector spirit beast, the remaining demon apostles were waiting for the Emperor realm cultivators from the human side to show up. ''Looks like they can''t wait anymore. I am waiting for you to act.'' Elder Boron knew that the demon apostles would not stand and do nothing for the whole time. So, he was already preparing his trump cards for this moment. Since the Emperor realm cultivators from one side started acting, the other side could join the battle. So, there was nothing holding back Elder Boron anymore. "Come out, everyone." Without any hesitation, Elder Boron summoned six wind elemental spirits that were exuding powerful auras from their bodies. Among the six of them, two of them were much more powerful as they had already be Emperor realm cultivators whereas the remaining four were high-level king realm elemental spirits. "Finally, the guardian is joining the battle." "All his summons look very powerful; however, I can''t tell their cultivation." ''I can tell, they have the minimum cultivation of a high-level king realm. There might even be an Emperor realm elemental spirit among those six elemental spirits.'' All the human cultivators were excited to see their guardian, the most powerful cultivator in the Purple stone world join the battle. What''s more, he didn''t even waste any time as he summoned all his elemental spirits. "One a single Emperor realm cultivator? Looks like we can conquer this world sooner than we thought." Even though Elder Boron had summoned two low-level Emperor realm elemental spirits, the demon apostles didn''t bother to count them. In their eyes, only Elder Boron was an emperor realm cultivator. What''s more,pared to guesses, the number of the emperor realm cultivators in the Purple stone world was pitifully less. "Let''s go and take care of the emperor realm cultivator." "Yeah. Don''t let him escape from this world." "A few of us will surround him in case he tries to run away." "We will take care of those two emperor realm elemental spirits." "Then I will take care of the remaining four elemental spirits." Soon, the 12 demon apostles started spreading out as they decided on their task. Among the 12 demon apostles, one rushed towards the four high-level king realm elemental spirits whereas four of them went towards two emperor realm king realm elemental elemental spirits. Of the remaining seven, three surrounded Elder Boron from a long-distance whereas the other four engaged in activebat with the Elder Boron. "Are you the emperor of this world or a guardian?" Since the demon apostles had some information about the Purple stone world, they knew about the power structure of the world. So, one of the demon apostles asked with a curious look on his face. "Humans are really more greedy than us, the demons." "Yeah. They fought among themselves over a treasure and now the Purple stone world is bing ours." "As for the cultivators in the Purple stone world, they will be bing the ves for the rest of their lives¡­Haha." Since there were four demon apostles, they were very confident in killing Elder Boron; however, before killing him, they wanted to torture Elder Boron. "That''s right!" Unexpectedly, Elder Boron agreed with their words as he continued, "Anyway, let''s talk about something else, shall we?" ''Swoosh'' While saying that, Elder Boron summoned his legend grade weapon out of thin air. "Sure. But, for that, you have to survive our attacks." The demon apostles didn''t like the confident look on Elder Boron''s face as they rushed at him at the same time. "Good." Elder Boron maintained the confident look on his face as he shouted, ''Ancient wind st'' ''Boom'' Elder Boron waited until the four demon apostles were within a 10-meter radius and used his most powerful skill. A huge explosion urred that sted the four demon apostles hundreds of meters away into four directions. "Woah¡­no wonder, he is the most powerful cultivator of the Purple stone world." "Haha¡­I knew it. We will definitely win this fight." "If the guardian of the Purple stone world was already this powerful, then how powerful would the Emperor of the Purple stone world be?" Seeing a single attack that sted the four demon apostles hundreds of meters away, all the human cultivators were both shocked and excited. At the same time, they thought about the Emperor of the Purple stone world who is yet to make an appearance today. Most of them didn''t know that the Emperor of the purple stone world and the remaining four guardians were missing and that''s the reason why they were still fighting the demon invasion with full confidence. If they knew the truth, they would not be brave enough to fight against such arge scale demon army. "Looks like you have good skills and timing. Let''s see how long you are going tost against us?" Even though the demon apostles were sted away hundreds of meters away, they were not injured much at all. Moreover, they were looking forward to breaking Elder Boron and that''s the only way they could really enjoy the invasion of the world. ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' "You talk too much for your invasion." Before any of the four demon apostles could do anything, Elder Boron appeared behind one of the demon apostles and pierced his sword into that demon''s heart. Chapter 1382 The story of a young man with a divine dragon

Chapter 1382 The story of a young man with a divine dragon

''Thud'' The demon apostle, whose heart was pierced by Elder Boron fell to the ground with an unbelievable look on his face. ''What?'' Not only the demon apostles but even the human cultivators were also shocked when they saw how easily Elder Boron killed a demon apostle. "Protector of the skies" "Protector of the skies" With a face full of respect, all the human cultivators shouted the title of the Elder Boron in unison. "Everyone, don''t hold back your strength anymore." Seeing how easily Elder Boron killed one of the demon apostles, the other demon apostles were furious and at the same time, they were a little fearful, thinking they might be the next ones to die. Nevertheless, the strongest demon apostles shouted at the other demon apostles to use their full strength in taking care of Elder Boron. "Yes." Suppressing their fears the demon apostles nodded their heads because they knew a single low-level emperor realm cultivator would notst against them. ''Golden demon soul, activate.'' ''Primordial demon soul, activate.'' ''Nether demon soul, activate.'' ''Astral demon soul, activate.'' ''Great void demon soul, activate.'' Without wasting any time, all demon apostles activated their emperor realm cultivator''s souls. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, transparent beings that looked like elemental spirits appeared in front of the demon apostle. They were none other than the Emperor realm cultivator''s souls. An elite general realm cultivator needs to learn a cultivator''sw and using that cultivator''sw, he could be a King realm cultivator by transforming it into a cultivator''s soul, also known as the king realm cultivator''s soul. Simrly, the king realm cultivators need an emperor realm cultivator''s soul to be an Emperor realm cultivator. Even though they were in transparent forms, the emperor realm cultivator''s souls take the appearance of their masters. "Looks like you have already learned your lesson." Even when he was surrounded by the demon apostles and their emperor realm cultivator''s souls, Elder Boron was not worried at all; instead, he revealed a slight smile on his face and spoke to them. "However, I have something to tell you. If you are willing to listen, I will speak my mind about it." Even though he mocked the demon apostles for wasting their time by talking nonsense, right now, Elder Boron was doing that. "Looks like you are scared after seeing our emperor realm cultivator''s souls." A great void demon apostle startedughing at Elder Boron''s words as he nodded his head and agreed to Elder Boron''s request, "I will consider it as your dying wish and grant it." "I heard there was a young human who destroyed a few worlds in the territory of Primordial demon emperor. Is that true?" After getting the permission, Elder Boron heaved a sigh of relief and asked them about something. "Huh?" Almost all the demon apostles frowned when they heard Elder Boron''s words; however, they didn''t understand what Elder Boron was saying. "How did you know about that?" However, the same could not be said for the three primordial demon apostles as they angrily asked how Elder Boron knew about it. As the first order demon apostles of the Primordial demon emperor, how could they not know the damage done to their territory because of a single young human? "Looks like it is really true." Elder Boron didn''t show any emotions on his face as he continued, "I heard that your Primordial demon emperor personally came out and captured him. I wonder what he did to that human?" "Haha¡­what do you think?" The three primordial demon apostles were a little bit angry when they first heard Elder Boron''s words and wanted to kill him right away. However, when they heard theter words of Elder Boron, their anger dissipated. Even though the five demon emperors sent their armies together to invade the Purple stone world, they were not on good terms with one another and waiting for an opportunity to step on others. So, if the news about a young human destroying a few worlds in their territory were to spread to other demon emperors, they would mock the Primordial demon emperor. However, if news about that young human getting captured and dying a gruesome death were to spread along with it, they could save their reputation. "Are you still torturing him or did you kill him already?" Elder Boron sighed when he heard the reply from one of the primordial demon apostles as he asked whether he was alive or dead. "Of course, he is alive. Do you think the primordial demon emperor would just kill him for what he did?" With a scoff, the demon apostle replied while checking the expressions of other demon apostles. ''Phew¡­I got this under control.'' At the same time, the three primordial demon apostles heaved a sigh of relief. "Then what happened to his divine dragon? Did your primordial demon emperor already form a contract with it or what?" Hiding a sly smile on his calm face, Elder Boron finally asked a couple of questions to the three primordial demon apostles. ''What?'' The three primordial demon apostles were shocked when they heard thest sentence of Elder Boron. "Where did that nonsensee from?" Nevertheless, the primordial demon apostle maintained their calm as they asked Elder Boron. "ording to the information I received, a young man with a divine dragon appeared in your primordial demon emperor''s territory." Elder Boron already knew that the primordial demon apostles would retort his words. So, he started telling the story about a young man with a divine dragon. "Not only did he destroy more than 10 smaller words in the territory of the Primordial demon emperor but he also took control over the smaller dwarf world." "Later when the Primordial demon emperor sent his scout to capture that young man, they were killed by the young man with the help of his divine dragon." "During the third round, the Primordial demon emperor sent 100 high-level demon kings; however, even they were got killed by him." Elder Boron didn''t stop as he briefly said about everything that Ajax did in the Primordial demon emperor''s territory. Chapter 1383 Sowing discord

Chapter 1383 Sowing discord

"Finally, the primordial demon emperor himself had to make a move to capture that human with the divine dragon." Elder Boron narrated everything that Ajax had done in the territory of the Primordial demon emperor. Of course, the part where Ajax was getting captured by the Primordial demon emperor was excluded from Elder Boron''s story as it was the critical point of the story. Earlier, when Ajax learned that the demon apostles had entered the Purple stone world, he came up with a n and asked Elder Boron to go with it. ording to his n, Elder Boron would say the things that Ajax did in the territory of the Primordial demon emperor and make all the demon apostles believe that the Primordial demon emperor had the divine dragon with him. ''This brat¡­looks like he had a lot of fun in other worlds.'' Elder Boron thought to himself after learning what he had done in the Primordial demon emperor''s territory. ''I was already proud of the three disciples I trained and wanted to show off in front of him; however, he was showing off way too much than I expected.'' Even though Elder Boron swore to not get shocked by Ajax''s achievements and the adventures anymore, he was shocked when he heard about one of his adventures in the Primordial demon emperor''s territory. For a cultivator with level 2 elite general realm cultivation, facing a king realm cultivator was already a great achievement; however, Ajax was still alive after encountering the Primordial demon emperor. ''Vaugh¡­where are you? At this rate, I can''t do much for him. Why don''t you appear and take care of your son now?'' Elder Boron thought about Vaugh who was equally as monstrous as Ajax in terms of battle prowess and giving shocks to others. So, he was hoping that Vaugh would appear because he knew he could help Ajax much as Ajax was growing at an incredible speed. "..." As for the three primordial demon apostles, they were speechless at Elder Boron''sst sentence. "Except for the part where the young man had a divine dragon, everything is real." Nevertheless, one of the primordial demon apostles tried to correct Elder Boron''s words before any demon apostle misunderstood his words. ''...'' However, Elder Boron didn''t bother to say anything as he felt he didn''t have to say anything. ''The fish has taken the bait and let''s see what other fishes will do.'' Nevertheless, he silently muttered to himself as he waited for how the other demon apostles would react. "Is that true?" "Did your territory hide the divine dragon?" "Stop saying it''s not true." "Did you forget that our emperors ordered us to capture a young man with the divine dragon recently? I think the primordial demon emperor really caught him." "Yeah. After that day, no smaller world is destroyed in our territory." "In our territory also, no smaller world is destroyed." "So, I think the primordial demon emperor really caught the young man and his divine dragon." As Ajax and Elder Boron expected, it didn''t take much time for other demon apostles to suspect the primordial demon apostles. "Hey, are you believing him or us?" "We belong to the same race. So, show us some trust." "Is this really how you feel about us?" The three primordial demon apostles became furious and started shouting back at the other demon apostles. However, no demon apostle believed their words. "Didn''t you say that the Primordial demon emperor captured that young man?" "Yes. If that young man didn''t have a divine dragon, then how could he kill so many high-level demon kings and destroy more than 10 smaller demon worlds?" "There was only news about one young human entering the demon territories to destroy the smaller worlds along with his divine dragon. So, stop lying and tell us the truth." Soon, the atmosphere between demon apostles became heavy as they might start fighting among themselves at any moment. "Come back." Seeing that, Elder Boron was satisfied and ordered his elemental spirit beasts to retreat. ''Since they might fight among themselves, why waste our energy on them?'' Elder Boron silently thought in his head as he checked the fight between the protector spirit beast and the four golden demon apostles. ¡­ Except for the three golden demon apostles, the remaining 12 demon apostles were having a heated conversation regarding the issue of the divine dragon. However, Daen and the other three golden demon apostles were busy fighting the protector spirit beast. So, they didn''t hear Elder Boron''s words from beginning to end. "What are you doing? Can''t you walk together to kill this spirit beast?" Daen was annoyed with the three golden demon apostles who were unable to coordinate with each other. What''s more, because of their incoordination, even he was unable to use his full battle prowess properly. So, he shouted at them and asked, "Why don''t you just sit aside and let me kill and take care of this so-called protector spirit beast?" As soon as he finished his words, Daen kicked the three golden demon apostles into the distance and eyed the Purple stoned lion king with a serious look in his eyes. "Damn it¡­this bastard is annoying me to the death." "Let''s hope this bastard''s overconfidence gets him killed very soon." The three golden demon apostles hoped Daen to die because once his battle prowess increased, he started bossing them around. "He is too clever to get himself killed though. The moment he felt like losing the battle, he would escape without any hesitation." Nevertheless, they also knew about Daen''s attitude towards a losing battle and shook their heads in disappointment. "Anyway, let''s just watch how this bastard fights that spirit beast." Soon, they didn''t bother with anything as they decided to watch the battle between, Daen and the Purple stoned lion king. As for the invasion, the three golden demon apostles were not worried much as they have enough Emperor realm and king realm demons along with an unlimited number of cannon fodder demons. Chapter 1384 Daen’s three demonic souls

Chapter 1384 Daen''s three demonic souls

"King realm Demon souls,e out." Once the three golden demon apostles were out of his way, Daen didn''t waste his time in summoning his king realm demon souls. That''s right! Daen summoned three king realm demon souls which means he had cultivated three different types of demonws. Nevertheless, unlike the demon souls of the golden demon apostles, Daen'' demon souls looked quite weak. The red coloured demonic soul had a muscr body with a golden armour on it. The blue coloured demonic soul had thin legs that were covered by golden bandages. As for thest demonic soul, it was dark green in colour with a demonic staff in its hand. "Roar" Seeing the three demon souls in front of it, the purple stone lion king roared before jumping at them. "Let''s see how powerful you are." Daen revealed a slight smile on his face as he ordered his demonic souls, "Attack it." As soon as they received the order from Daen, the three demonic souls nodded their heads before looking at the Purple stoned lion king. ''Thud¡­thud'' With each step it took, the red demonic soul left behind its huge foot imprint on the ground. ''Swoosh'' The blue demonic soul was extremely fast as it already reached the purple stone lion king and started confusing it with its zig zag running. ''Boom'' As for thest demonic soul, it didn''t move from its ce; instead, it tapped its staff on the ground before releasing two light beams at the red and blue demonic souls. ''Thud'' ''Swoosh'' A soon as the light beams entered their bodies, the power and the speed of the red demonic soul and the blue demonic soul increased respectively. "Roar" The purple stoned lion king felt the sudden increase in the power of the two demonic souls and roared at them. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, it stopped going after the blue demonic soul which it was unable to catch no matter what. Instead, it decided to go after the red demonic soul. ''It took the bait.'' Daen revealed a slight smile on his face when he saw the Purple stoned lion king go after his red demonic soul. "Red, let it taste your punches." At the same time, he didn''t forget to order the red demonic soul to use its full power. ''Swoosh'' With that order, the red demonic soul stopped in its tracks and waited for the Purple stoned lion king toe near to it. ''Boom'' As soon as it was within its punch'' range, the red demonic soul threw a powerful punch at the lion that stopped the 100-meter tall protector spirit beast in its ce. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Taking advantage of the purple stoned lion king''s immobility, the red demonic soul continued to punch in the same ce. The purple stoned lion king was unable to do anything as it felt its entire body was frozen before the punches. ''Kacha'' Finally, after a dozen punches, there was a crack on the purple stoned lion king''s crystalline head. ¡­. "He is lucky enough to awaken three cultivator''sws that could be worked in unison." "Yes. With the help of that Emerald demonic soul, the strength of his other two demonic souls will be increased by multiple folds." "That''s the reason why this bastard is so arrogant." Looking at how Daen''s three demonic souls were working together to fight against the purple stoned lion king, the three golden demon apostles showed dissatisfied looks on their faces. "Let''s notpare him. It will only make us worried." Soon, one of the golden demon apostles shook his head as he suggested they should notpare themselves with Daen. ¡­. "Oh no. Our protector spirit beast is being subdued with a single demonic soul." "It''s not good." "We have to help it a little." When the protectors noticed that there was a crack on the crystalline head of the Purple stoned lion king, they became anxious because if the crack gets bigger, the protector spirit beast would disappear. The three protectors were the ones who summoned the protector spirit beasts and they were only ones who could help it heal that crack. "Where are you looking, in the middle of the fight?" However, the protectors were already busy with dealing more than a dozen high-level demon kings each on their own. "Olek, Nade, we have to hurry up and clear these bastards; otherwise, it is the end of our Purple stone world." Protector Erin gritted his teeth as he killed a high-level demon king and shouted at the other protectors. "We know that." The other two demon apostles nodded their heads as they used their full power to kill the high-level demon kings. However, the problem was, no matter how many they killed, more high-level demon kings wereing at them, stopping them from helping their protector spirit beast. Unlike the other human cultivators, the three protectors already guessed that the Emperor and the remaining four guardians of the Purple stone world were either dead or not in a position to fight the demons. So, they knew if they want to survive this demon invasion, they need the protector spirit beast. Without it, the entire Purple stone world would be conquered by the demon race. ... Under the devourer eagle king''s wings. As others were dealing with the demons outside, Ajax was gasping for breath as he was a little tired from multi-tasking. Not only was he absorbing the special demonic energy from Westin''s body but he was also injecting the sacred astral energy to rapidly heal Westin''s injuries. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Save Westin''. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with three ''World core roulette'' chances along with the upgrade in the host''s demonic form. ''Ding, The hostpleted the mission with a good clearance rating and will be rewarded with a special cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Do you want to use the rewards? ''Phew¡­finally¡­'' Finally, the much-awaited system notifications had appeared in Ajax''s head, making him heave a sigh of relief. Chapter 1385 Void of the Nether

Chapter 1385 Void of the Nether

Even though it seemed like doing two things, absorbing the special demonic energy and injecting the sacred astral energy seemed like nothing, it was a tiring job for Ajax. Nevertheless, for the sake of the Purple stone world and for thepletion of the mission, Ajax endured it. ''Phew.'' So, the moment he received those system notifications, he felt quite relieved as hey on the ground. ''An additional reward.'' Lying on the ground, Ajax checked the system notifications one by one and the words ''Additional reward'' caught his eyes. ''Only when I receive additional rewards, I will forget about the efforts I put into the mission.'' Ajax revealed a satisfied smile on his face as he tried to check what type of special cultivator''sw he was rewarded with. ''Ding, Please ept the rewards to learn about it. However, the system didn''t show the information about the special cultivator''sw; instead, it asked him to ept the rewards. ''Of course, I will ept the rewards. You don''t have to mention that.'' One of the reasons why he worked hard in saving Westin was for the rewards. So, of course, he was going to ept it. ''Ding. The following rewards are added to the host''s inference and inventory. ''Ding, 1) World core roulette (Three chances) 2) Demonic form upgrade (Not used yet.) 3) Special cultivator''sw. (Not used yet.) ''I want to learn the special cultivator''sw first.'' Looking at the list of rewards he gained from his recent mission, Ajax revealed a slight smile and decided to learn the special cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Awakening the special cultivator''sw. Please wait. ''Aargh'' As soon as the system confirmation ended, Ajax felt a sharp pain in his head. ''The pain is from my mind sea.'' After leaving his whole life experiencing different pains, Ajax could exactly tell where the pain wasing from and checked into his mind sea. In an endless empty space, Ajax''s spirit consciousness floated around checking why the awakening of the special cultivator''sw was affecting his mind sea. ''Huh? What is that?'' As he floated in his mind sea, Ajax saw a small crystal floating in the mid-air. It was red in colour and the closer he moved towards the crystal, Ajax felt his surroundings be warmer. ''Ding, It is the host''s first cultivator''sw ''Fire devour''. ''What?'' As he was wondering about the red crystal and how it appeared in the mind sea, the system sent a notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Wait a second¡­so, the cultivator''sws are linked with the mind sea?'' Ajax asked the system as he realized why he was experiencing the sharp pain in his mind sea regarding the awakening of the special cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Yes. However, almost all the cultivators will only realize it when they be the king realm cultivators because their mind sea will be locked until then. ''Ding, When a cultivator awakens his cultivator''sw, it will be stored in his mind sea. As the level of the cultivator''sw increases, the appearance of the stored cultivator''sw changes. ''Oh. So, that''s how it works.'' Ajax nodded his head in understanding. He had already learned that unlike others he had early ess to the mind sea for some unknown reason. ''Swoosh'' As he learned the rtion between the cultivator''sw and the mind sea, Ajax saw a bright light in the distance. ''Is that the birth of my special cultivator''sw?'' That was the only possibility that Ajax could think of right now. So, without any hesitation, Ajax floated in the direction of the bright light. ''Aargh'' At the same time, the pain he was experiencing increased by another level, making him groan along the way. ''Ding, The awakening of the special cultivator''sw is finished. Please check the user interface or the crystal in the mind sea to learn more information about it. Before he could reach the crystal, Ajax received a system notification in his head and at the same time, the sharp pain he was experiencing had disappeared. ''Phew¡­finally, the pain is gone.'' Even though the pain was not very hard to endure, Ajax felt it was annoying. So, he was relieved when it disappeared. ''Now, let''s check this so-called special cultivator''sw.'' Ajax was excited about his new cultivator''sw and floated towards the crystal. Even though he could check it in his interface, Ajax decided to check the crystal with his eyes and get the information from it. ''Woah¡­it looks cool.'' Soon, Ajax floated towards the crystal that represents the special cultivator''sw and marvelled at its design. It was much smaller and duller than the crystal that represents the ''Fire devourer'' crystal; however, its design was very unique and just looking at made Ajax feel that he was being pulled into it. ''Snap out of it, Ajax.'' It took some time for Ajax to break free from that feeling as he looked at the ck crystal with a shocked look in his eyes. ''Looks like it is indeed very special.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax appraised the ck crystal in front of him. ''Ding, Cultivator''sw:- Void of theher. Current level:- Level 1 Effect:- Makes all the enemies within a 10-meter radius around the host enter into a trance, temporarily losing their will to fight. Skill:- Unlocks when the cultivator''sw reaches level 5. ''So, it is a supportive type cultivator''sw.'' Even though it didn''t have any attack power, Ajax was satisfied with it because he had other trump cards to increase his attack power. ''When my enemies lose the will to fight the battle, it will be a piece of cake for me to defeat them.'' Ajax could not wait to test his new cultivator''sw and at the same time, he thought, ''I need to upgrade it to level 5 as soon as possible and see how powerful its skill will be.'' ''Cough'' As he was feeling satisfied with his new special cultivator''sw, Ajax heard a cough from outside. "Looks like Westin woke up." ****** Mass release on 10th May. Chapter 1386 New follower

Chapter 1386 New follower

"Looks like Westin woke up." With a thought, Ajax left his mind sea to check on Westin. ¡­ "Where am I?" As Ajax expected, Westin woke up his eyes and saw unconscious Ajax beside him. "Isn''t he the young man who was showing off his battle prowess against the demons from the beginning of the war?" Westin recognized Ajax with a single nce because of Ajax''s show off against the demons. ''Wait a second.'' At the same time, Westin felt a splitting headache as broken parts of his memories appeared in his head. In those memories, Westin saw he was constantly surrounded by ck energy and at some point of him, his body wearing the full battle set that was made up of that special demon energy. ''Did I just lose my mind and go berserk?'' After checking those broken memories, Westin was shocked as he muttered, ''Is this what that bastard meant by? That I will go berserk if I kill the demons?'' Westin thought back to the time when he entered the nameless inheritance ground and was forced to receive the special demon energy and a passive cultivation technique. ''Damn it¡­then how can I save the Purple stone world from this demon invasion?'' Westin could hear the battle cries and knew that the battle between the humans and the demons was still ongoing. However, after learning what would happen if he killed any demons, Westin didn''t have the courage to participate in the war because if he went crazy once again, he might end up killing the humans instead. ''But, if I don''t participate, the demons will win and take control over this world.'' ''If only I can make use of this special demon energy without going crazy, not only can I participate in the battle, but I can change the tide of the battle.'' Westin thought about another alternative where he could use the special demon energy without going crazy. "You woke up, already?" As Westin was thinking of a n to participate in the fight, Westin saw Ajax woke up from his sleep. "Yes. Thank you for saving me." After checking through his broken memories, Westin knew that he was saved by Ajax. ''Wait a second¡­.he could be my way to join the battle.'' Just as Westin thanked Ajax, he suddenly thought of something and became excited. "It''s nothing. How are you feeling right now?" Ajax asked Westin about his condition out of concern because only if Westin was in his perfect condition, he could join the fight. "I am fine but can you tell me how you are able to extract the special demonic energy from my body?" Westin wanted to find out exactly how Ajax was able to extract that energy. So that he could join the battle against the demons without worrying about going insane. "I know what you are thinking; however, I can''t say anything about it." Ajax could see-through Westin''s thoughts and shook his head as he didn''t want to say that he had a system that could help him extract the energy from his body. "..." Westin wanted to say something; however, he hesitated and didn''t say anything in the end. "However, I can help you join the battlefield and extract the special demonic energy from your body when you reach the limit." While saving Westin, Ajax thought a lot about how to make Westin his follower and he found a few ways where he could aplish that task. Right now, he was using one of those ns. "In return, what do you want? I should be your subordinate?" Before Ajax could tell his condition for helping Westin, Westin already found out about his n. "Yes." Even though Ajax knew that his n was seen through by Westin, he didn''t disagree with Westin and nodded his head. ''Since he already knew my intentions, there is no use hiding it anymore as I really want a follower like him.'' It was Ajax''s first time seeing someone else other than him use a demonic form. So, he wanted to help that human while learning more about the demonic form together. "Okay then. I think it is a fair deal." Westin didn''t think much before agreeing to be Ajax''s follower. What''s more, he even added the words ''Fair deal'', making Ajax surprised. "Bing my follower ispletely different from bing others'' follower." Even though Ajax was surprised that Westin agreed to be his follower without much persuasion, he could guess what Westin wanted right now. Other than him, no one could help him in fighting against the demons. So, of course, Westin wanted to be his follower. "I am not a person to go back on words. If I say I will follow someone, I will follow him/her orders without any hesitation." Westin revealed a serious look on his face as he continued, "If you can''t believe me, I can swear on the heaves to not betray you." "Haha¡­I am not worried about you betraying me because the moment you get that thought I will kill you without any hesitation." Ajaxughed a little as he asked onest time, "So, you are sure about your decision, right?" "Yes." Westin nodded his head with a face full of determination. ''Ding, Do you want to ept Westin as your follower? As soon as Westin nodded his head, Ajax received a system notification in his head asking whether he wanted to ept Westin as his follower. ''Of course.'' Ajax was dreaming about taking Westin as his follower for thest couple of hours. So, of course, he was more than happy at the system notification. As for why he was excited about the system notification was because only when a cultivator was very serious about bing his follower, the system would prompt a system notification. ''Ding, Detected that the new follower has a special body that could hold a limited special demonic energy. ''Ding, Giving the new follower a special status knowns as ''Special follower''. After epting Westin as his follower, Ajax received two system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised. ****** Mass release on 10th May. Chapter 1387 Special follower

Chapter 1387 Special follower

''Special follower?'' Just the word ''Special'' was enough for Ajax to make him happy. ''Let''s check what are the benefits of being a special follower.'' It was Ajax''s first time having a special follower. So, of course, he wanted to check what was so special about this status. ''Ding, Special follower:- Westin. Status effect:- A special connection will be formed between the host and the follower. Through this connection, they can share the special demonic energy between themselves. Host capacity:- 1000 units of special demonic energy. Follower''s capacity:- 500 units of special demonic energy. Note:- After Westin''s experience of turning into a demonic being, his storage capacity of the special demonic energy increased from 100 units to 500 units. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax, exining the benefit of being a special follower. ''What? Can we share the special demonic energy?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment; however, when he thought about the simr connection between his elemental spirit beasts and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax was no longer shocked. In the case of the elemental spirit beasts and the contracted spirit beasts, they share the essence of nature whereas he could share the special demonic energy with Westin. ''But, 1000 units of the capacity is very less as it will be filled in a short time.'' Ajax knew that Westin could umte the special demonic energy by killing the demons. The higher the cultivation of the demon he killed, the more units of the special demonic energy he would umte. Moreover, if the capacity of the storage was overfilled by the special demonic energy, then the chances of going crazy were high. So, Ajax felt 1000 units and 500 units for both him and Westin were not sufficient as their storage would be filled within no time. ''I can''t recklessly let him kill the demons as it would be the end for both of us.'' Even though Ajax seemed to be in control of the special demonic energy, he knew he would also go crazy when he crossed the storage limit. ''It happened once and it can happen twice.'' Ajax remembered the events that happened in the Five elemental world where he turned into a demonic being and if not for the old voice in his head, he would have roamed the five elemental world like a crazy demonic being. ''I need to find a way to upgrade my storage capacity for the special demonic energy.'' Since the special demonic energy is a type of energy, Ajax thought he could upgrade that storage capacity just like how he could increase the capacity of the spirit consciousness and sacred astral space. ''Ding, The host''s reward ''Demon form''s upgrade'' is avable. You can use it to increase the storage capacity of the special demonic energy. As Ajax''s happiness from gaining a special follower was about to disappear because of limited storage for the special demonic energy in his body, he received a system notification that gave him hope. ''Really? Upgrading my ''Demon form'' will increase the capacity for the Special demonic space? Great.'' Ajax was excited as he didn''t waste any more time before ordering the system, ''I want to use that reward now.'' ''Ding, Upgrading the host''s ''Demon form'' from level 1 to level 2. Please wait for a few moments. Soon, he received a system notification and what followed next was, a bone-cracking pain that made him fall to his knees and groan in pain. "Master" Seeing Ajax fall to the ground while groaning, Westin hurriedly checked on Ajax with a concerned look on his face. Even though it''s been only a few minutes since they became master and follower, in Westin''s eyes, Ajax was the only one who could help him go against the demons. So, he wanted nothing to happen to Ajax. "I am alright." With a forehead that was covered in sweat, Ajax gritted his teeth as he replied to Westin. "But¡­" "Wait a minute." Before Westin could say anything, Ajax interrupted him while asking him to wait for a minute. "O..okay." Westin didn''t know what was happening with Ajax; however, since Ajax asked him to wait, all he could do was wait. ''Ding, The host''s demonic form is upgraded to level 2. Please check the checks in the user interface. Soon, one minute passed by and the system notification that Ajax was waiting for, had finally appeared, making him heave a sigh of relief. "Master, are you alright?" Seeing that Ajax stopped groaning in pain, Westin asked with a face full of concern. "I am good." Ajax wiped the sweat from his forehead as he nodded his head at Westin with a slight smile. "Master, it looks like the outside is in chaos. Shall I go and join the fight?" Westin was itching to join the fight against the demons; however, because Ajax was groaning in pain, he didn''t dare to leave him alone. And now, Ajax seemed to be alright. So, he asked Ajax for permission to join the fight. "Sure. Go ahead and have fun." Since Westin had already be his follower and there was even a connection between them, Ajax was not worried much about Westin. So, he gave permission to join the fight against the demons. "But, when should I return?" Westin didn''t rush into the fight because he wanted to know when he should return to Ajax. So that, Ajax could extract the special demonic energy from his body to stop him from going insane. "There is no need for you toe back to me." Ajax shook his head and with a slight smile on his face, he continued, "I can extract the special demonic energy from your body from the distance. As soon as I feel your body has stored enough special demonic energy, I will extract it even without you noticing it." "Really?" Westin was shocked at Ajax''s words and wanted to ask how he could do that. However, on second thought, he held back his questions and rushed into the battle with an excited look on his face. Chapter 1388 Level 2 Demonic form

Chapter 1388 Level 2 Demonic form

''He is really excited to join the fight.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax shook his head as he looked at Westin who rushed out of the devourer eagle king''s protection. ''I wonder whether Westin could have his own demonic form?'' The real reason why Ajax wanted to take Westin as his follower was because he was hoping Westin would use the demonic form. So, he wondered whether Westin could use it to fight against the demons. ording to Ajax, demonic form is a very powerful trump card to have and it could be very useful against invasions like the current one. ''Anyway, it''s time to take my level 2 demonic form.'' With a thought, a holographic screen with full information about his upgraded demonic form appeared in front of Ajax. ''Ding, Skill name:- Demonic Form (level 2) Effect:- Increases the battle prowess of the user by mid-level king realm cultivator or one whole major realm in the user''s cultivation for 10 minutes. Note:- The lowest battle prowess between the two cases will be chosen. Special effect:- All the regr skills of the user will contain Dark/ Demon attributes. Special demonic space:- 1000 units / 5000 units. ''Storage capacity of the special demonic energy is upgraded from 1000 units to 5000 units. Excellent.'' The first thing that caught his eyes was the ''Special demonic space''. Initially, he thought it would be upgraded to 2000 units only. So, after seeing it upgraded to 5000 units, Ajax was pleasantly surprised and excited. ''I don''t know how much time it will take to fill these 5000 units of space, but it is still not enough.'' Ajax knew he was being greedy; however, what he said was true. Since there were countless demons outside, it would not take much time for Westin to fill his special demon space. The problem was, Ajax still had not found a way to spend his special demonic energy. The essence of nature is used to execute skills and cultivation techniques, the sacred astral energy is used to heal the physical and soul injuries. Unlike the other energies, which could be depleted by doing something, Ajax had not found a way to spend the special demonic energy yet. Even though he thought using his demonic form, it would not consume the special demonic energy at all; instead, the more special demonic energy he had, the more powerful his demonic form would be. Once his special demonic space is filled, he would have no choice but to order Westin to stop killing the demons. ''At the time, I can''t even extract the special demonic energy from his body as my special demonic space will bepletely filled. If I can''t extract, Westin''s loyalty would decrease.'' Just thinking about that possibility made Ajax a little anxious. ''System, why don''t you just tell me how I can spend this special demonic energy?'' He had already asked the system about the special demonic energy in the past; however, the system said that he had only 100 units of the special demonic energy. It also said that he needed 100 units of the special demonic energy to use his skill ''Demonic form''. ''Ding, Since the host has a good source for the special demonic energy, the system will reveal a method to spend the special demonic energy. ''Really? Good.'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before bing happy and waiting for the system to reveal the method. ''Ding, The host can use the special demonic energy to upgrade the ''Demonic form''. ''Upgrade my ''Demonic form''?'' Ajax raised his brows as he thought, ''If I can upgrade the demonic form, then why didn''t you show it when I viewed the information on the demonic form?'' From the beginning the system used to show the ''Upgrade'' option below the skill or cultivation technique; however, after learning that he could upgrade his demonic form, Ajax felt the system intentionally hid it. Because the system didn''t show it, by default, Ajax thought he could not upgrade it. ''Damn it¡­why do I feel like the system has returned to its old self where it likes to toy with me.'' Ajax shook his head and hurriedly thought of upgrading his level 2 ''Demonic form'' Without even upgrading the demonic form, Ajax could guess what kind of benefits it would give him. ''The special demonic space will be upgraded for sure. The limit of my battle prowess might be increased.'' Ajax silently thought to himself as he waited for the system notification. ''Ding, The host needs 10000 units of the special demonic energy to upgrade his ''Demonic form'' from level 2 to level 3. Note:- The host can even pay in instalments; however, the upgrade will be finished only after paying the full payment of 10000 units of the special demonic energy. ''10000 units? No problem.'' Right now, the special demonic energy is the only thing he wascking. He didn''t have the problem of spending even 20000 units of the special demonic energy to upgrade his demonic form. Because all he wanted right now was a way to spend his special demonic energy in order to not turn crazy. ''Anyway, I only have 1000 units for now and it will take some time for Westin to umte the special demonic energy.'' Ajax was not worried much as he knew he could upgrade his demonic form today. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something and hurriedly asked the system, ''System, show me the full details on Westin'' Since the system was hiding things from him, Ajax decided to check everything carefully. ''Ding, Name:- Westin Age:- 48 years Skills:- ¡­.. Cultivation techniques:- ¡­.. Special demon space:- 23 / 500 units of the special demonic energy. ''It''s not here.'' Soon, Ajax got the information about Westin and he didn''t find what he wanted to find. ''Hold on'' After checking the holographic screen, Ajax was disappointed a little; however, he realized something. ''Now, I understand what I have to do.'' With an excited smile on his face, Ajax realized what he had to do. Chapter 1389 Farming special demonic energy

Chapter 1389 Farming special demonic energy

''Westin, start killing the demons.'' Once he realized what he had to do, Ajax directly gave the order to Westin to start killing the demons. Since Ajax couldmunicate with his followers as long as they were in the same world, he transmitted his voice to Westin. Of course, if he or any of his followers were trapped in a barrier, he could notmunicate with them. ''Huh? Yes.'' Westin was surprised for a moment when he suddenly heard Ajax''s voice in his head; however, he nodded his head. "Now,e at me, you demon bastards." Westin had been waiting to say these words for a while now and since he was in his peak condition, he didn''t wait any longer, before rushing at the demon kings. ''sh'' His favourite sword appeared in his hand as he started the massacre. Westin didn''t care whether the demon had a king realm or elite general realm or general realm cultivation. All he cared about was killing them and all it took him was a single sh with his sword. With the death of each demon he killed, Westin''s body had automatically absorbed the special demon energy from those corpses. Nevertheless, the powerful demon he killed so far was only a low-level demon king. So, it was not sure whether he could really kill a mid-level demon king in a single strike. ... Under devourer eagle king''s wings, ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a general realm demon and gained 1 unit of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed an elite general realm demon and gained 1 unit of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a low-level demon king and gained 10 units of special demonic energy. . . . As for Ajax, he asked the system to keep track of Westin''s killing records because he wanted to know how many units of special demonic energy Westin would get by killing the demons. ''Only one unit of special demonic energy for the demons below the King realm. As for killing the low-level demon kings, it is 10 units of the special demonic energy.'' After checking a series of system notifications, Ajax got a clear idea of how many units of special demonic energy Westin would get for killing a demon with specific cultivation. ''What about mid-level demon kings and high-level demon kings? How many units will they give?'' Ajax waited to receive the system notification where Westin killed a mid-level demon king; however, to his bad luck, it never came. ''It seems like Westin ispletely focused on killing the low-level demon kings.'' Since the number of low-level demon kings was very high, Ajax concluded that Westin was focused on clearing the low-level demon kings. ''Whatever, as long as his special demonic space is filled.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax checked Westin''s special demonic space. ''Ding, Westin''s special demonic space:- 93 units / 500 units of special demonic energy. ''Still seven more units.'' It didn''t take much time for Westin to receive the remaining seven more units of special demonic energy. ''Now, it''s time.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked the system, ''System, you said that a human only needs 100 units of the special demonic energy to use the demonic form, right?'' ''Ding, Yes. Helping the host''s special follower in awakening the demonic form. Before Ajax could ask the system to help Westin, the system already started awakening the demonic form in Westin. Back when he was in the Five elemental world, Ajax learned about it and he wanted it to be used to help Westin awaken the ''Demonic form''. Westin was already powerful without the demonic form; however, if he had a ''Demonic form'', then it would be even more terrifying. Ajax had already witnessed how powerful Westin became earlier with the help of the demonic form. So, he wanted to give wings to the tiger and make it even more powerful. ''System, I like you when you understand things before I could even ask.'' Ajax was satisfied with the system''s actions as he waited for the awakening to finish. ''Ding, Awakening of level 0 ''Demonic form'' is finished. ''Huh? Level 0?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment as he was surprised there was actually a level 0 demonic form. ''How many units does it need to upgrade from level 0 to level 1?'' Since it was just an awakening and not an upgrade, Ajax knew there would be no changes in the special demonic space of Westin. And the only way to increase the storage capacity was to upgrade the demonic form. ''Ding, It needs 1000 units of the special demonic energy to upgrade a level 0 demonic form to a level 1 demonic form. ''1000 units? Easy.'' Ajax was not worried much about 1000 units because he knew the benefits of having a high-level demonic form. ''Not only the capacity of his special demonic space increase, but it will also increase his overall battle prowess.'' Earlier when Westin turned into a demonized being, he had the battle prowess equivalent to a high-level demon king. However, at the time, he hadpletely lost his senses. So, Ajax knew Westin would not have such battle prowess with a level 0 demonic form. So, he wanted to upgrade it. ''Westin, you can use the demonic form without worrying about going crazy. Also, once you start using it, you can go after mid-level demon kings.'' Even though Ajax thought of upgrading Westin''s demonic form first, there were not enough units of the special demonic energy. So, he could only ask Westin to start using the level 0 demonic form and go after the mid-level demon kings. ''What?'' As Westin was killing the elite demon general and the low-level demon kings, he once again received Ajax''s voice transmission, making him quite shocked. ''What about high-level demon kings? Can I kill them in a single strike?'' Nevertheless, suppressing his shock, Westin looked at the battle between the high-level king realm cultivators in the distance and asked Ajax with an excited smile on his face. Chapter 1390 Westin’s Killing Spree

Chapter 1390 Westin''s Killing Spree

Earlier, when Westin transformed into a demonized being, his consciousness was taken over by the special demonic energy. However, that doesn''t mean he didn''t know how powerful he became when he was in that form. So, when he heard Ajax say that Westin could transform into the demonized being without getting his consciousness devoured by the special demonic energy, Westin asked whether he could go and kill high-level demon kings. ''No. Even though you can transform into a demonized being with a thought, you will be not as powerful as before without losing your consciousness.'' Ajax rejected Westin going after the high-level demon kings without any hesitation as he continued, ''However if you want to be powerful at the cost of bing crazy, I don''t mind helping you.'' ''Nevermind, I will just take care of the mid-level demon kings and the low-level demon kings.'' Hearing Ajax''s words, Westin didn''t think much about killing the high-level demon kings. Instead, he focused on the low-level demon kings and the mid-level demon kings. ''Even though it didn''t have a problem in killing high-level demon kings, it would take a lot of time and energy for Westin to take care of a single high-level demon king.'' Ajax had enough confidence in Westin''s battle prowess as he witnessed what Westin could do; however, Ajax didn''t want to waste his time in killing a high-level demon king when Westin could take care of a dozen mid-level demon kings at the same time. ¡­. ''Let''s see whether I can use this demonic power without going crazy.'' Westin looked at the dozens of low-level and mid-level demon kings that wereing at him and revealed a slight smile on his face, before saying, ''Demonic form'' Ajax informed him that all Westin needed to do was think about using the special demonic energy and mutter the words ''Demonic form''. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he said those two words, a dense ck coloured energy came out of his body before entering back. However, Westin''s appearance had changed as he had a dark shade on his face, making him look evil. "Haha¡­I feel fricking powerful." Westin checked his hands which looked a little different from the normal human hands; however, it didn''t concern him much because right now, he was feeling a lot more powerful than his usual self. ''Who said I need the talent to achieve great things? Even without talent, I am going to achieve even greater things than the regr talented cultivators.'' Westin clenched his fists as he wanted to prove to the whole world what he was capable of. "Let''s start the massacre." With an exciting demonic smile on his face, Westin rushed towards the demon kings with his long sword. Not only his body but even the sword in his hand was also affected by his demonic form and looked like a demonic sword emitting ck mist-like energy. ''sh'' ''sh'' Soon, Westin''s massacre of the demon kings started. Just like Ajax, order, Westinpletely focused on the low-level and mid-level demon kings and all it took Westin was a single strike. No matter whether it was a low-level demon king or a mid-level demon king, they wouldst more than a single strike from Westin as he umted the special demonic energy from the demons killed. ¡­.. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a low-level demon king and gained 10 units of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a mid-level demon king and gained 50 units of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a low-level demon king and gained 10 units of special demonic energy. . . . Once again, the series of the system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head regarding the number of units gained from Westin''s killing spree. ''So, a mid-level demon king gives 50 units of the special demonic energy. Not bad.'' There is a reason why he still asked the system to transmit the battle records of Westin he wanted to know how many units of special demonic energy Westin would gain from killing a mid-level demon king. ''Westin, focus more on mid-level demon kings. I will upgrade your demonic form if you kill 19 more mid-level demon kings.'' Once he learned how many units of the special demonic energy a mid-level demon king would give, Ajax calcted the number of mid-level demon kings who needed to be killed. To upgrade a level 0 demonic form to a level 1 demonic form, Ajax needs 1000 units of the special demonic energy and since a mid-level demon king gives 50 units of the special demonic energy, Westin needs to kill exactly 20 of them. ''Since it already killed one mid-level demon king, he needs 19 more of them to reach the target.'' Even though Ajax had exactly 1000 units of the special demonic energy in his own special demonic space, Ajax didn''t want to spend. Moreover, he wanted Westin to get used to the level 0 demonic form for a while before upgrading to the level 1 demonic form. ''Grandpa, how is the situation outside? Is it still under control?'' Since Ajax was still tired from saving Westin, he didn''t have any intention to join the fight soon. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he gave up on saving the Purple stone world. So, he asked Elder Boron about the situation. ''Your n worked as all demon apostles are still having a heated discussion regarding the divine dragon.'' With a slight smile on his face, Elder Boron informed about the demon apostles. ''Good'' Ajax nodded his head as it was already within his expectations. ''However, your elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts seemed to be having a difficult time.'' At the same time, Elder Boron informed about Ajax''s summons; however, in the next second, he changed his words, ''Wait a second¡­did you save him already?'' Because Elder Boron''s eyes fell on to a human surrounded by the thick ck coloured energy, who was killing the low-level and mid-level demon kings in a single strike. ''Of course, I saved him and helped a little in gaining control over his new power.'' Chapter 1391 Summons don’t want the boost?

Chapter 1391 Summons don''t want the boost?

''Of course, I saved him and helped a little in gaining control over his new power.'' With a proud smile on his face, Ajax transmitted his voice to Elder Boron. ''...'' Elder Boron remained silent and tried his best not to get shocked by Ajax''s achievement. ''Anyway, the protector spirit beast needs some help against that high-level demon king named Daen.'' After remaining silent for a few seconds, Elder Boron asked Ajax to help the protector spirit beast. Even though Elder Boron had enough power to help him, he should not do it. Because, the moment he joins the fight again, the heated discussion among the demon apostles woulde to an end and he would be the center of focus. ''Right now, I have to stall for as much time as possible for others to clear the demon cannon fodder, and demon kings. Then, we can take care of demon apostles together.'' This was what Elder Boron and Ajax came up with after racking their brains to save the Purple stone world against the demon invasion. As for now, Elder Boron and his elemental spirits would not have any problem in taking care of five to six first-order demon apostles, leaving behind 10-11 demon apostles. The protector spirit beast could handle two demon apostles and the remaining high-level king realm cultivators could form into groups to take care of the remaining demon apostle. ''For that to happen, the entire demon army had to be killed.'' So, Elder Boron asked Ajax to help the protector spirit beast. ''Okay.'' Ajax nodded his head as he muttered, ''Anyway, it is finally time to go all out.'' Since Ajax had saved Westin and gained a powerful cultivator as a follower, Ajax once again focused on his primary goal, which was to save the Purple stone world. ''I heard you are having a hard time against these demons. Shall I boost your strength?'' Even before Elder Boron could inform Ajax about his summons, Ajax had already known about it; however, he wanted to push his summons as it was the only way for them to be stronger. Almost all his summons had be powerful in a very short time with external help. So, he wanted to bring out the hidden potential by putting them in disadvantageous situations. ''Master, it helped me awaken a new talent.'' ''Summoning master, my re-cultivated artifact upgraded when I almost thought I was going to die.'' ''Master¡­'' Hearing his voice in their heads, all the summons were excited and informed about their gains from the past few hours of fighting against the demons. ''You worked very hard for thest few hours. It is time to boost your strength.'' Ajax was satisfied with their replies as he nodded his head. ''Master, can you wait for some time? Even though we are having the difficult time, we can still take care of the demons.'' ''Yes, master. We want to show you our true potential without the boost from the bloodline.'' ''Summoning master, I agree with them; however, I will follow whatever you order us to do.'' To Ajax''s surprise, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts requested that they don''t need the boost from the bloodline. ''This ispletely out of my expectations.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face after hearing their requests. He was already feeling guilty for making them fight without boosting their strength; however, his summons want to fight for some more time without any boost from the bloodline. ''Fine. Since everyone wants that I will not activate the bloodline.'' If not for his guilty conscience, Ajax didn''t have any ns to use his bloodline as he was nning to use it when he fought against the demon apostles himself. So, after hearing their requests, Ajax''s guilty conscience disappeared along with his thought of using the abyssal beast god bloodline. ''However, I still need to help the protector spirit beast.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t forget about Elder Boron''s request to help the protector spirit beast. In general, the protector spirit beast would not have any problem in taking care of two demon apostles itself; however, against a demonic freak like Daen, it was unable to release its full prowess. Soon, Ajax started thinking about how he could help the protector spirit beast and which trump card he should use in helping it. Of course, the Abyssal beast god bloodline ispletely out of the equation. ''Since I already used the aqua dragon bloodline, that leaves me with the Spirit merger bloodline.'' It didn''t take much time as he decided to use the ''Spirit merger bloodline''. ''Which elemental spirits should I merge?'' In the next second, Ajax opened his user interface to check the list of his elemental spirits. Most of his elemental spirits were currently exploring outer space, conquering the smaller demon worlds. That leaves him with the elemental spirits he rarely used or not used at all. ''Hm¡­the protector spirit beast is a metal type spirit beast, right?'' Nevertheless, he decided on two elemental spirits after thinking of the protector spirit beast. ''Septon, the metal elemental spirit.'' ''Nite, the dark/ beast dual elemental spirit.'' ''And the final one is Zen, the elemental spirit with the highest cultivation among his elemental spirits.'' Since Ajax had upgraded his bloodline to level 3, Ajax could merge either two elemental spirits or three elemental spirits. Of course, the time for how long they could stay in that merged form and the increment in the battle prowess would change depending on the number of elemental spirits merging. ''Are you willing to merge together for 10 minutes?'' At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget to ask the three elemental spirits because if they were willing with all their whole hearts, the mergingpatibility would be high along with the battle prowess of the merged elemental spirits. ''Yes, summoning master. We have no problem merging.'' Unlike Cerauno and Blood, these three elemental spirits didn''t have issues with one another. So, they readily agreed with Ajax. ''Good. It''s time to put an end to Daen.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he decided to take care of Daen. Chapter 1392 Merged Elemental Spirit:- Dark Metal Beast

Chapter 1392 Merged Elemental Spirit:- Dark Metal Beast

From his two high-level demon king ves, Ajax got brief information about Daen. Even though he was a peak high-level demon king, he was able to defeat three demon apostles before taking full control of the golden demon army for this invasion. So, Ajax felt, that taking care of Daen was much more importantpared to the other demon apostles. ''Even if I use the elemental spirit merger bloodline to merge three elemental spirits, Dean won''t have any problem in taking care of himself. However, if the protector spirit beast can receive the help from the merged elemental spirit, then it might change the oue of the battle.'' Ajax was not keeping hisplete hopes on the merged elemental spirit; instead, he was just hoping the merged elemental spirit could help the protector spirit beast a little. ''Elemental spirit merger bloodline, activate.'' ''Zen, Septon and Nite, Merge.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax activated his bloodline before selecting the three elemental spirits that he wanted to merge. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated the bloodline and selected the three elemental spirits, they were pulled together by a mysterious force and started merging together. ''Aargh'' ''Aargh'' Of course, the process was painful as the entire battlefield heard the painful groans of the three elemental spirits. ''Please endure it.'' Ajax''s heart ached when he heard the painful groans of the three elemental spirits. ''Ding, The host need not worry about their painful groans. After the bloodline is deactivated, they will have fruitful gains. Suddenly, a system notification appeared in front of Ajax, asking him not to worry. ''I know their cultivation will progress, or even their skills might be upgraded; however, how can I not get worried?'' Ajax was angry at the system''s notifications; however, he suppressed his anger because he knew that system is just emotionless. ''Ding, The elemental spirits have sessfully merged into a new elemental spirit ''Dark Metal Beast''. It didn''t take much time for the three elemental spirits to merge, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief because he didn''t have to hear the painful groans of his elemental spirits. ''So, it''s a Dark metal beast elemental spirit.'' After heaving a sigh of relief, Ajax looked at the information on the merged spirit. ¡­. At the same time, outside the devourer eagle king''s wings, "Roar" A six-meter tall elemental spirit hovered in the mid-air as it roared at the heavens. Its body waspletely crystalline from top to bottom and it had a Jaguar head that looked fierce. As for the colour of the merged elemental spirit, it waspletely pitch ck. ''The three elemental spirits merged into a single elemental spirit?'' Everyone looked at the hovering elemental spirit in the air and curiously asked others. Even though it was not so rare for a summoner to merge two elemental spirits, it was very rare to merge three elemental spirits. What''s more, the cultivation of this merged elemental spirit was one whole major realm higher than the highest cultivation among the three elemental spirits. So, of course, once again, everyone was surprised by Ajax''s another one of his abilities. ... ''Ding, Merged elemental spirit:- Dark metal beast. Strength:- High-level elemental spirit king. Skills:- Beast summoning, Dark metallic fortress, Ethereal sh¡­. Elemental souls:- 1) Dark region 2) Metal maniption and 3) Beast control. . . The full information regarding the merged elemental spirit appeared in front of Ajax, giving him quite a shock. ''A high-level elemental spirit king? This is not what I expected.'' It was Ajax''s first time merging these elemental spirits and didn''t expect to strike gold. ''In the future, I am going to try this merged elemental spirit more and more.'' This is the thought in Ajax''s head as he guessed that capability between these three elemental spirits was very high, making the merged elemental spirit have such high cultivation. ''Go and help the protector spirit beast.'' Once Ajax saw that the merging was sessful and the cultivation was much higher than he expected, he ordered the merged elemental spirit to help the protector spirit beast to take care of Daen. .... ''Swoosh'' As soon as it received Ajax''s orders, the high-level king realm merged elemental spirit flew towards the location where the protector spirit beast was struggling against Daen''s three demonic souls. ''Dark metallic fortress.'' Before it could reach the location, the dark metal beast elemental spirit summoned a huge ck-coloured metallic castle in the air. "Prepare for the battle." After summoning the metallic castle, it said a few words and the thousands of weapons were pointed at the three demonic souls and Daen. "Huh? A merged elemental spirit?" Dawn noticed the huge flying fortress in the air along with the merged elemental spirit and raised his brows slightly. "Green, form a barrier around us and get ready to heal others in case anyone gets injured." Daen ordered the emerald coloured demon soul. Nodding its head, the emerald demonic soul created a barrier around Daen and other demonic souls, leaving the protector spirit beast outside the barrier. "Ethereal sh." However, contrary to their expectations, the dark metal beast elemental spirit didn''t bother to release the weapons from its fortress; instead, he used another one of its skills. With the help of the Ethereal sh, the merged elemental spirit passed through the barrier and sh the emerald coloured demonic soul into two. ''What?'' Dawn was shocked by such an unexpected move from the merged elemental spirit as he furiously looked at it. "Weapons, release." The merged elemental spirit hovered in the air as he signalled with its hands and thousands of weapons came out of the fortress at an incredible speed. Except for the protector spirit beast and itself, Daen and his demonic souls had holes in their bodies as Daen looked at the merged elemental spirit with a shocked look. ¡­ ''Ajax, you don''t have to help the protector spirit beast directly. Just help the three protectors and they will take care of the protector spirit beasts.'' On the other side, Elder Boron wanted to say these words to Ajax; however, he refrained from saying it after seeing what the merged elemental spirit did to Daen and his demonic souls. Chapter 1393 Dean’s trump cards

Chapter 1393 Dean''s trump cards

Elder Boron thought that even if Ajax was able to merge three of his elemental spirits, it could not stand a chance against Daen, who could even go against the demon apostle. Because the three elemental spirits didn''t even have the king realm cultivation before merging. So, even if they merge, they could not help the protector spirit beast much. ''Looks like I am lucky and didn''t embarrass myself in front of Ajax.'' Elder Boron was d that he was a littlete in asking Ajax what to do; otherwise, he would have been embarrassed to face Ajaxter. ¡­. ''It killed Sir Daen with a single attack?'' ''How is that possible?'' ''Open your eyes and see for yourself. Sir Daen has been killed by that merged elemental spirit.'' ''It''s impossible. Sir Daen could even fight the demon apostles head to head. How can he be killed by that merged elemental spirit?'' . . All the golden demons who saw Daen lying on the ground with more than a dozen weapons piercing his body, became shocked as they were unable to believe their eyes. ¡­.. "Woah¡­did that merged elemental spirit kill Daen?" "Finally that bastard died." "I knew he would die early; however, I didn''t expect him to die this early." The golden demons were a little sad about losing a great fighter like Daen; however, the golden demon apostles were the happiest ones. Because they didn''t like a high-level demon king treating them like his subordinates and wanted Daen to die soon. Finally, they were happy as their wishes came true. ¡­.. ''Huh? Why am I not getting any system notifications?'' Under the devourer eagle king''s wings, Ajax raised his brows as he felt something was wrong with Daen''s death. Generally, the system would definitely inform him of the death of mid-level demon kings and high-level demon kings even if muted the system notifications. Moreover, Daen was not a regr high-level demon king. So, the system notification regarding his death should have been informed to him. ''Something is definitely not right.'' With that thought in his head, he transmitted his voice to the merged elemental spirit, ''Be careful. I guess that bastard is still alive.'' ... "Haha¡­it''s my first time dying but it''s not bad." Just as Ajax transmitted his voice to the merged elemental spirit, Daen''s body that was lying on the ground startedughing as it stood up with the dozen weapons still inside. "What?" "Sir Daen is still alive?" "What does he mean by the first time? Everyone will die only once right?" "What the hell? How is that bastard still alive?" "Is he hiding something from us?" The golden demon army was excited whereas the three golden demon apostles cursed Daen and thought about how he could be still alive. "Sorry to say this but this is not enough to kill me." ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' With a smile on his demonic face, Daen started pulling the weapons out of his body one by one. ''Slurr'' The moment he pulled those weapons out of his body, the holes left by these weapons were miraculously healed in an instant, leaving everyone shocked. "Let''s see how powerful you are." After pulling out all the weapons, Daen''s body returned to its normal self without a single injury on it. At the same time, he asked the merged elemental spirit toe at him with its full battle prowess. "Roar" The merged elemental spirit was half humanoid and half-beast. So, when Daen was able to recover back to his normal self, it became furious and roared at him. ''Elemental Beast summoning'' However, the merged elemental spirit had Zen''s calmness, making the Nite''s anger under control. Instead of directly rushing towards Daen, the merged elemental spirit summoned its minions. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a portal opened as more than 100 elemental spirits that looked just like the dark metal beast walked out of it. However,pared to the merged elemental spirits, these elemental spirits only have the cultivation of a mid-level elemental king realm. "Huh? You want to use the army? Great...Let me summon my own special army too." Daen raised his brows when he saw the elemental beast army summoned by the merged elemental spirit and decided to summon his own special army. "Come out. It is time to say hello to the world." With a slight smile on his face, Daen opened a protal of his own as a dozen high-level king realm demonic spirit beasts walked out of it. ¡­ "Holy heavens? How many trump cards does he have?" "Looks like we are fated to be his subordinates." "If he showcased these two trump cards, he would have no problem joining the second-order demon apostle ranks even without the emperor realm cultivation." The three golden demon apostles were once again shocked as they never expected Daen to own a dozen high-level king realm demonic spirit beasts. In the end, they realized that they were bound to be Daen''s subordinates no matter what they did. "Roar" Soon, the 12 demonic spirit beasts started fighting the 100 elemental beasts summoned by the merged elemental spirit. ''I don''t have much time to waste. I need to kill the merged elemental spirit and the protector spirit beast as soon as possible.'' Even though Daen looked confident, in actual, he was running out of time. The power he received right now might be very powerful; however, it had a time limit. So, within that time, Daen wanted to take care of the merged elemental spirit and the protector spirit beast. ''I only have 8 more minutes left before the demerging. I need to kill him or at least do as much damage as possible.'' It was the same for the merged elemental spirit because the merging time for the three elemental spirits was only 10 minutes and two minutes were also finished. So, it wanted to either kill or do a lot of damage to Daen before the demerging of the elemental spirits happened. Soon, both Daen and the merged elemental spirit didn''t hold back anymore as they went all out as they both had limited time to finish the battle. Chapter 1394 Skill crystal

Chapter 1394 Skill crystal

''As expected of Daen. He is not someone to go down easily.'' Ajax nodded his head as he understood why he didn''t get the system notification regarding Daen''s death earlier and the reason was simple: that he didn''t die. ''I hope the protector spirit beast can heal itself soon and help the merged elemental spirit a little.'' From the beginning, Ajax was not expecting the merged elemental spirit to defeat Daen; however, after seeing the battle prowess of the merged elemental spirit, he felt it could defeat Daen as long as it received the help from the protector spirit beast. However, currently, the protector spirit beast was healing its injuries and it would take a few minutes for it to join. ''I guess the situation is temporarily under control.'' Ajax stopped thinking about the battle between the merged elemental spirit and Daen as he checked the entire battlefield through the gap between the wings. ''The demon apostles are still having their heated discussions regarding the divine dragon.'' ''My summons and the rest of the human cultivators were fighting against the mid-level demon kings, low-level demon kings and the demon cannon fodder.'' ''As for the high-level demon kings, they were in a stalemate against the high-level king realm cultivators from the human side.'' ''Overall, the invasion seems to be in more control than I originally thought.'' When he first learned about therge scale demon invasion, Ajax didn''t expect that they could fight on equal grounds with less numbers. However, he was doing much better than he initially guessed. ''I just need a few more minutes and I will break the stalemate between the high-level king realm cultivators.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax decided to break the stalemate. ording to Ajax''s n, the high-level demons should be killed as soon as possible. Only then, they could have enough high-level king realm cultivators to fight against the demon apostles. ''Westin still needs to kill a few more mid-level demon kings.'' Even though Westin was supposed to kill the mid-level demon kings, most of the time, he found only low-level demon kings. So, it was taking more time than Ajax thought; however, Ajax was not bothered much by it because the situation waspletely under his control. ''Once Westin''s demonic form is upgraded, it is time to break the stalemate between the king realm cultivators.'' Ajax''s n was to use Westin in killing the high-level demon kings and gain the upper hand against the demons before the demon apostles could realize what was happening. Even though it seemed silly that the demon apostles were having a heated discussion just because of Elder Boron''s words, in acutal, it was a serious issue. For the demon apostles,pared to the invasion of a lowly normal world, getting the information on the divine dragon was much better because even the smallest information could change their lives. And by chance, if they were lucky enough to find where the divine dragon was, they would be the most respectful demon in the five demon territories. ording to the prophecy, the one with the divine dragon would be the leader of all five demon territories and even though they knew they could not be the leader, they might be the most trusted demon apostle of that demon emperor. Of course, for that to happen, they need to find whether the divine dragon was really in the primordial demon emperor'' territory. ... ''Since it will take a few minutes for Westin to fill the required units of the special demonic energy, I will spin the roulettes.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax sat down on the ground and checked the roulettes in the user interface. Other than the regr roulette which gives random items, there is now a world core roulette that gives the smaller, normal and greater world cores. ''Both rouletttes has three spins. Excellent. Time to use them all.'' The three spins for the world core roulette was the reward he received recently from saving Westin and the spins from the other roulette was umted whenever he gains a new follower or copmplete some missions. ''Let''s go with the old roulette first.'' Ajax selected the roulette that gives random items. ''System, use all three spins.'' He didn''t waste his time in using his spins one by one; instead, he used them all in a single go. ''Ding, The host received a skill crystal from his first spin. ''Ding. The host received nothing in his second spin. ''Ding, The host received a ''Teleportation circle'' from his third spin. Soon, the system showed Ajax what he gained from each spin individually. ''What? A skill crystal and a Teleportation circle?'' Even though he gained nothing in his second spin, that didn''t bother Ajax even a slightest bit because the other two items he received were far greater than he had expected. ''Is it because my strength has grown? Or is it because of the system upgrade?'' Even though the general roulette would give good items, it was very rare or on special asions; however, he received two good items in a single go. So, he thought about the reason behind it. ''Whatever, I will just enjoy the rewards.'' Ajax felt it was useless to think about it as he would start umting the spins once again and use them in the future when his strength upgrades once again. ''Let''s see what skill is inside this skill crystal.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax directly crushed the skill crystal because it is the only way to know what skill was stored inside it. ''It''s a bit painful but it''s nothing in front of the pains I have endured in the past.'' Ajax felt a slight pain in his spirit consciousness; however, it was not enough to make him fall to his knees. ''Ding, Please wait a few minutes as the skill is still in the awakening stage. Seeing that Ajax was able to endure the pain, the system asked him to wait. ''Okay.'' Ajax nodded his head and muttered, ''Meanwhile, I will check the second item I received from the spin.'' ***** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1395 [Bonus chapter]Teleportation circle

Chapter 1395 [Bonus chapter]Teleportation circle

****Mass release (1/5)**** ..... Generally, the cultivator who used the skill crystal would groan in pain until the awakening process waspleted; however, Ajax was able to endure the pain and he could even think properly. So, he decided to check the information on the second item he received while waiting for his skill to awakenpletely. ''Ding, Item name:- Teleportation circle. Item grade:- Special Usage:- Using this item, any cultivator could connect two normal worlds or two smaller worlds. Note:- To open the portal between the worlds, arge amount of the essence of nature is required. The longer the portal opens, therger the amount of the essence of nature required. ''Haha¡­looks like the system''s exnation of the roulette spins is true.'' After checking the information about the ''Teleportation circle'', Ajax was excited and thought back to the time when the system exined something like this. ''Ding, Most of the time, the roulette gives the items that are extremely useful to the host. Right now, Ajax needs something like a ''Teleportation circle''. ''Ding, Please select the ces in the Purple stone world and another normal world to establish the ''Teleportation circle''. As soon as he checked the information on the ''Teleportation circle'', the system asked him to select a ce. ''After this war, I will be the emperor of this world. So, any ce is fine with me.'' Ajax didn''t think much about the ce where he should establish the ''Teleportation circle'' and directly selected the ce where he was currently standing. As for which world he had to connect with the Purple stone world, Ajax didn''t think much as he already had one in his head. ''Ding, Establishing the ''Teleportation circle''. The estimated time is 10 minutes. Please wait until it is finished before using it. Soon, Ajax received the system notification giving the estimated time, which Ajax was okay with. ''I just need to wait for 10 minutes and taking care of this demon army will be easy.'' With the appearance of the ''Teleportation circle'', Ajax was almost sure that he was going to win against the demon invasion and he couldplete the mission. So, he was excited and waited for the ''Teleportation circle'' to be finished. ''Ding, The awakening of the new skill ispleted. Please check the details in the host''s user interface. As he was already excited with the ''Teleportation circle'', Ajax received another system notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Check'' With a thought, he opened the user interface and checked the information about his new skill. ''Ding, Skill name:- Dragon wings. Effect:- With a thought, dragon wings will materialize on the host''s back that help in flying. ''Dragon wings? Not an attack-type skill?'' Ajax thought he would get a good attack-type skill; however, he was a little disappointed with the skill ''Dragon wings''. Even though it seemed good to fly, Ajax wanted something more destructive. ''It''s not bad to fly.'' Ajax consoled himself as he thought about the dragon wings. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, two huge wings appeared behind him. ''They are a lot tougher than I thought.'' Ajax''s disappointment in the skill ''Dragon wings'' decreased a little as he muttered, ''They are perfect for using as shields.'' ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, Ajax still had some time left to join the battle, he cancelled the skill and looked at the next roulette. ''If I can get three normal world cores, it would be very nice.'' Even though Ajax knew it was very hard for him to gain three normal world cores in a row, he still hoped for it. ''Use all three chances to spin.'' Just like before, Ajax used all three of his chances to spin the roulette. ''Ding, The host received a normal world core from the first spin. ''Ding, The host received a smaller world core from the second spin. ''Ding, The host received a smaller world core from the third spin. Soon, the roulette spun as Ajax received one notification after another. ''One normal world core and two smaller world cores. I guess, it is not bad.'' Even though he didn''t get three normal world cores, Ajax was satisfied with at least one normal world core. ''I think it will take me less than a month to reach the peak elite general realm.'' With the addition of the world cores to his inventory, the duration to reach the peak elite general realm decreased by one-third. ''I hope I can get another normal world core during this invasion.'' Ajax shook his head as he realized he was bing greedy. ''Now, back to the main thing.'' Getting rid of the thoughts about his cultivation, Ajax decided to focus on the main thing as the war was at a critical junction. ''This is the time where I need to be careful; otherwise, it will be the end of the Purple stone world.'' Since the demon apostles were yet to realize what was happening, Ajax and Elder Boron were having an easy time. However, once they join forces and attack the human, the human cultivators won''tst even for a couple of minutes. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a mid-level demon king and gained 50 units of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a low-level demon king and gained 10 units of special demonic energy. . . Right now, Ajax''s focus waspletely on Westin because he wanted to upgrade the demonic form before its time limit is up. A level 0 demonic form could be used only for 5 minutes; however, if Ajax could upgrade Westin''s level 0 demonic form after those five minutes, Westin could maintain his demonic form for another 10 minutes. Because his demonic form would be at level 1 which could be maintained for another 10 minutes. ''As long as I keep that flow, I can upgrade Westin''s demonic form to level 2 without any problem.'' Ajax had already nned to upgrade Westin''s demonic form to level 2 which was the same level as his demonic form. ''Since he collected more than 1000 units of the special demonic energy already, I should upgrade his demonic form now.'' ***** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1396 Westin’s level 1 demonic form

Chapter 1396 Westin''s level 1 demonic form

****Mass release (2/5)**** ..... ''It''s time to upgrade his demonic form to level 1.'' Looking at Westin''s special demonic space, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. ''System, upgrade his demonic form from level 0 to level 1.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly ordered the system to take care of the Westin''s special demonic space upgrade. ''Ding, 1000 units of the special demonic energy are consumed. (500 units from Westin''s special demonic space and 500 units from the host''s special demonic space.) ''Ding, Upgrading Westin''s demonic space from level 0 to level 1. Since Westin''s special demonic space could only hold 500 units of the special demonic energy, the system took the remaining units of the special demonic energy from Ajax''s demonic space. Soon, the process started as the dense special demonic energy that was surrounding Westin''s body disappeared into thin. Of course, it was consumed by the system for upgrading the demonic form. At the same time, Westin''s demonic form got cancelled as he didn''t have 100 units of the special demonic energy to use his demonic form. ''Master, what happened?'' Westin became anxious for a moment because until now, he was feeling very strong and with the cancetion of his demonic form, he became very weak. So, he asked Ajax about it through the voice transmission. ''I am upgrading your demonic form to make you even stronger. So, wait for a while and focus on low-level demon kings until then.'' Ajax briefly informed Westin about the demonic form''s upgrade, making Westin reveal an excited smile on his face. At level 0 demonic form, Westin felt very powerful and he was able to kill mid-level demon kings in a sigle strike. So, if the demonic form was upgraded, he wondered how strong he would be then. ''I guess, I can kill the high-level demon kings in a single strike.'' Westin could already kill high-level demon kings with level 0 demonic form; however, it would take some time and Ajax asked him not to waste his time on the high-level demon kings. So, if the demonic form got upgraded, Westin was sure he would easily kill the high-level demon kings in two or three strikes, if not in a single strike. ''Until then, I will kill these low-level demon king bastards.'' Westin didn''t want to waste his time just because his demonic form was getting upgraded. So, he decided to take care of the low-level demon kings until then. Even though he became weak after cancelling his demonic form, he was still able to kill the low-level demon kings in one or two strikes without any problem. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a low-level demon king and gained 10 units of special demonic energy. . . . ''At this rate, he would recover the 1000 units of the special demonic energy in no time.'' Looking at the system notifications, Ajax silently thought to himself with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, Westin''s demonic form is upgraded to level 1. It can be used anytime now. It took around one minute for Ajax to receive the system notification regarding the demonic form''s upgrade. ''Good. Westin, it is time to change the tides of the battles.'' As soon as he received the system notification, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly transmitted his voice to Westin. ''My demonic form upgraded already? Great.'' Westin was pleasantly surprised with Ajax''s words as he didn''t expect the demonic form would be upgraded so soon. ''Demonic form'' Without waiting for Ajax''s orders, he directly activated the demonic form. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the dense ck coloured energy came out of Westin''s body before covering his body. ''I feel a lot stronger than before¡­Haha.'' Westinughed as he clenched his fists with great excitement. Even though there were not many visible changes between the level 0 and level 1 demonic forms, Westin became a lot more powerful than before. ''However, it is still not as strong as the time when I have gone crazy.'' Westin was hoping to be that strong without going crazy one day because at that time, he felt like he was invincible. ''Westin, as long as you kill enough high-level demon kings, I can help you reach that level without losing your mind.'' Hearing Westin''s thoughts, Ajax promised that he would help him. ''High-level demon kings? No problem. I will take care of them, right now.'' Westin was grateful and excited to hear those words and looked at the fighting between the king realm cultivators in the distance before nodding his head. ''I don''t care what method you will use, kill at least 100 high-level demon kings before your demonic form hits its limit.'' Soon, Ajax ordered Westin to kill the high-level demon kings and set a target for him. ''100 high-level demon kings? It''s not enough. I will take care of 200 of them.'' Even though Westin didn''t have talent and was bullied his entire life, he was arrogant because whatever the strength he achieved until now, was on his own except for the demonic form. So, hearing Ajax''s target, Westin was not satisfied and set himself a much difficult target before rushing towards the battle between the high-level king realm cultivators. ''As you wish.'' Ajax was never the type to discourage his followers or summons. So, he let Westin do whatever he wanted; however, he should reach the target. ''If he could kill 100 high-level demon kings, I think I will have enough special demonic energy to upgrade his demonic form from level 1 to level 2.'' Right now, Ajax waspletely focused on upgrading Westin''s demonic form rather than his demonic form. Because the more high-level demon kings Westin kills, the more units of the special demonic energy he would receive. By continuously upgrading Westin''s demonic form, Westin would not only be powerful but he could use the demonic form for another 10 minutes. ''If my guess is correct, to upgrade a level 1 demonic form to level 2 demonic form, I need more than 2000 units of the special demonic energy. Isn''t that right, system?'' Ajax asked the system with a slight smile on his face; however, his smile disappeared with the system''s reply. ***** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''.

Chapter 1397 Westin joins the battle of high-level king realm cultivators

****Mass release (3/5)**** ..... ''Ding, To upgrade a demonic form from level 1 to level 2, the host needs to spend 5000 units of the special demonic energy. However, after seeing the system notification, Ajax''s jaws dropped. Currently, Westin''s demonic form is at level 1. It means the capacity of his special demonic space would be at 1000 units. So, to upgrade the demonic form from level 1 to level 2, Ajax guessed that he would need around 2000 units of the special demonic energy. ''I thought there would be a margin of error of around 500 units or 1000 units of special demonic energy; however, I didn''t expect it would be 3000 units more than what I expected.'' Ajax felt like it was a little too much to upgrade the demonic form from level 1 to level 2. ''Wait a second.'' All of a sudden, he realized something as he muttered, ''A level 2 demonic form will increase the special demonic space''s capacity from 1000 units to 5000 units.'' ''From this perspective, it is totally logical to spend 5000 units of the special demonic energy.'' Once he realized the capacity of the special demonic space, Ajax felt that the upgrading fee for the demonic form was not pricey at all. ''If I want to upgrade my demonic form to level 3, then I require 10000 units of special demonic energy. So, that means, a level 3 demonic form would increase my special demonic space''s capacity to 10000 units?'' After gathering all the information he had about the demonic form and the special demonic space, Ajax was able toe to that conclusion. ''Anyway, let''s see how many units of the special demonic energy a high-level demon king will give.'' Ajax was curious about the high-level demonic king and since Westin was now powerful enough to kill the high-level demon kings with a single or multiple strikes, Ajax was looking forward to the system notification regarding the death of the high-level demon king. ... Outside the devourer eagle king''s wings. ''sh'' After his transformation into demonic form, Westin didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly rushed towards the ce where the king realm cultivators from both sides were fighting. The moment he reached the location, he casually shed as the heads of two high-level demon kings flew into the air. ''What the¡­'' The king realm human cultivator who was fighting those two high-level demon kings was shocked by the sudden appearance of Westin. What shocked him, even more, was that the demonized human in front of him killed two high-level demon kings in a single sh. "Looks like you are tired. Why don''t you take a break and rest for some time." Westin left those words behind, before rushing toward another high-level demon king. ''Wait a second¡­is he Westin?'' Westin was famous in the Xacaster province because almost all the powerful cultivators in the Xacaster province either bullied or mocked him in the past because of his dreams. In their perspective, without talent, no matter how hard you work, you could only reach up to a certain point. After that, it would be just wasting time and energy as they could not break through to the next realm just because of working hard. That''s the reason why Westin was still a low-level king realm cultivator whereas the cultivators from his generation had already be high-level king realm cultivators and became either family heads or sect leaders or simr positions. ''When did he be so powerful?'' Even though it took some time for that high-level king realm cultivator to recognize Westin, he was sure that it was Westin and he was shocked at how easily Westin could kill two high-level demons in a single strike. ''We already thought he would be struck at the peak elite general realm for his entire life; however, not only did he break through to the king realm but he was able to kill high-level demon kings with a cultivation of low-level king realm.'' The high-level king realm cultivator regretted his past actions as he felt he missed the right opportunity to be close with such a monster. If they sessfully ovee their ongoing invasion, Westin would directly be the guardian of the Purple stone world without any doubt because of his huge contributions to this war. ''The speed at which Westin was able to kill the high-level demon kings, it would not be a problem for him to kill a hundred or even two hundred.'' That cultivator had mixed thoughts in his head as he looked at Westin''s monstrous speed of killing the high-level demon kings. ''sh'' ''sh'' Just like before, Westin didn''t swing his sword at the high-level demon kings for the second time because, in the first strike itself, he was able to kill them. Mostly, it was because the high-level demon kings were busy fighting the king realm human cultivators and Westin used that opportunity to kill them in a single strike. ''Die'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' ''It is not enough to kill me.'' With the addition of Westin to the human side of the high-level king realm cultivators, the humans started getting the upper hand. The huge gap of numbers between the humans and demons started decreasing as Westin''s leg didn''t stop at any ce. .... ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a high-level demon king and gained 100 units of special demonic energy. ''Ding, The host''s special follower Westin killed a high-level demon king and gained 100 units of special demonic energy. . . . As for Ajax, he was revealing an ear to ear smile while looking at the system notifications. ''Even though it is just twice the unitspared to killing the mid-level demon kings, killing the high-level demon kings is the highest priority now.'' Since Ajax''s n was not only to gain more units of the special demonic energy but it was also to kill all the high-level demon kings before the demon apostles could realize they were tricked by the Elder Boron into a heated discussion among themselves. However, good things didn''tst for much longer as one of the demon apostles realized something was not right. ***** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''.

****Mass release (4/5)**** ..... "Let''s stop discussing the divine dragon for now." However, one of the demon apostles finally realized something was fishy as he asked the other demon apostles to stop the discussion. "As I said, there is no divine dragon in our territory. So, there is nothing to talk aboutter." . . The primordial demon apostles felt like they were wronged and continued to deny that they didn''t have the divine dragon with a straight face. However, because of that, it only made the other demon apostles strongly believe that the divine dragon was with the primordial demon emperor and decided to inform their emperor once they went back. "Sir, we need your help." "We are getting killed." At the same time, all the high-level demon kings anxiously asked for the help from their respective demon apostles. "What?" Soon, the demon apostles paused their heated discussion and looked at the location where the high-level king realm cultivators from the both sides were fighting. However, the king realm cultivators from the human side were bing more and more aggressive as they killed their high-level demon kings. And the huge gap of numbers between the two sides also started getting reduced, making all the demon apostles furious. "Looks like we are fooled by that bastard." Soon, everyone looked at Elder Boron with furious looks on their faces. "That''s what I said earlier but no one bothered with what I said." However, one of the demon apostles looked at the other demon apostles as heined no one listened to him when he said something was not right. "Let''s not talk about what''s already done." "Yes. Even though we lost quite a number of high-level demon kings, we can easilyplete the mission ourselves." As the low-level emperor realm cultivators, all the demon apostles were confident that as long as they attacked together, it would not take much time for them to conquer the Purple stone world. "Everyone, leave this bastard to us. You can go and take care of the others." The three primordial demon apostles looked at Elder Boron and his elemental spirits, and asked the other demon apostles to leave him. "No, You three can''t handle him and his two emperor realm elemental spirits." One of the Astral demon apostles shook his head and looked at the demon apostles around him and said, "Great void demon apostles, what do you think? Can you work together with the primordial demon apostles to take take care of that bastard and his elmental spirits?" "Sure." The three great void demon apostles nodded their heads as they agreed to that arrangement. "As for the rest of us, let''s help that bastrad Daen and the high-level demon kings." After discussing what they have to do, all the demon apostles split up. The three primordial demon apostles and the three great void demon apostles remained in their ce as they eyed Elder Boron and his elemental spirits with great anger. "Your heated discussion finished just like that? I thought you would fight among yourselves and kill one another." Seeing that the heated discussion among the demon apostles were over sooner than they thought, Elder Boron became a little anxious. However, Elder Boron knew the first rule of the battle, ''Never show your emotions to your enemy''. So, he hid his emotions behind his fake smile as he scoffed at the six demon apostles in front of him. "Bastard¡­I am going to kill you." The six demon apsotles were very angry at Elder Boron for bing fools in his hands. So, when they heard Elder Boron''s words, they could not help but rush toward him with an intention to kill him. "Die." The three great void demon apostles excel in their spatial techniques. So, they directly appeared in front of Elder Boron and tried to pierce their hands into Elder Boron''s chest. "ng" "You want to kill me already? Don''t you want to torture me for fooling you?" However, Elder Boron had alot of experience than the demon apostles thought. With a simple thought, two long swords appeared in his hands which he used to block the attacks of the three great void demon apostles. At the same time, he asked them with a curious look on his face. "Damn you¡­do you think we are interesting in torturing you? We just want to kill you as soon as possible?" As Elder Boron blocked attacks of the three great void demon apostles, the three primordial demon apostles threw the punches at Elder Boron. ''Swoosh'' However, just when the punches were about tond on him, Elder Boron disappeared from his ce and the three primordial demon apostles'' punches directlynded on the three great void demon apostles. ''Looks like they don''t have good coordination. I can use it to my advantage.'' Elder Boron appeared a few meters away from his previous ce and silently thought to himself. ''Ajax, the demon apostles rejoined the fight. Don''t hide your trump cards anymore.'' At the same time, Elder Boron transmitted his words to Ajax, hoping thetter would surprise him with a few more trump cards. ''They rejoined the fight already?'' Ajax raised his brows when he heard Elder Boron''s reply and hurriedly thought about a new n. ''Roar'' Just as he wanted toe up with a new n, Ajax heard loud roars of spirit beasts from afar. ''They are finally here.'' Hearing those roars, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and muttered, ''They will take care of the demon cannor fodder and the low-level demon kings. The spirit beasts that arrived just were none other than Ajax''s beast army from the Cursed Wilderness. The beast army was led by the golden wyvern king, Gaimont, the forest fairy king Geron and Ajax''s self proimed brother, the primitive ape king. Behind them, there were hundreds of thousands of powerful rank 6 spirit beasts that were rushing to join the battle against the demons. "Battle beasts, don''t leave a single low-level demon king alive." Ajax transmitted his voice to Gaimont and asked him to give the battle beasts his orders. ***** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1399 Primeval Ent King, Skaros

Chapter 1399 Primeval Ent King, Skaros

****Mass release (5/5)**** ... The moment the demon invasion of the Purple stone world started, Ajax asked Elder Boron to remove the barriers between the provinces. With the disappearance of the barrier between the province, Ajax was able to contact one of his contracted spirit beasts, Gaimont, the golden wyvern king. At that time, Gaimont and Geron, the forest fairy king were currently undergoing their training with the help of King of the Cursed Wilderness, Skaros, the primeval ent. After learning about the demonic invasion from Ajax, Gaimont requested help from his master Skaros. As the king of the cursed wilderness, the primeval ent knew that the invasion of the Purple stone world was not good because after conquering the world, they would turn all the spirit beasts into demonic spirit beasts. So, he decided to help Ajax in stopping the demon invasion. Once he decided about it, the primeval ent, who hadn''t moved for centuries finally moved and unified the entire Cursed Wilderness with a single roar. Even though the spirit beast kings of the five territories were still eyeing the position of the King of the Cursed wilderness, they knew they could not defeat Skaros. So, they could only follow his order. Nevertheless, after learning about the demonic invasion, they were not dissatisfied anymore because the demonic invasion was a huge threat to them. Soon, everyone assembled their armies and followed Skaros. Of course, the primitive ape king also assembled the spirit beast kings under his control along with more than 500 battle beasts and followed Skaros. "Brother, I am for your rescue." As soon as the primitive ape king entered the battlefield, it mmed its chest as he roared as loudly as possible. ''Finally, they are here.'' Since Ajax didn''t form a contract with the primitive ape king, he could not transmit his voice to him as they were still very far from each other. However, because the primitive ape king was very loud, Ajax could hear its words even amidst all the battle roars and cries. ''Gaimont, order the battle beasts to take care of the low-level demon kings.'' ''Leave the primitive ape king to do whatever it wants to do.'' ''I don''t know how strong you and Uncle Geron became after training under the Primeval ent king but I think you are capable of taking care of multiple low-level demon kings, right?'' Soon, he asked giving the orders to Gaimont, who followed them without any hesitation before replying, ''Master, the gifts you left behind for me, helped me a lot and because of that, I can enter into the king realm and be a Spirit beast king whenever I want.'' Previously, Ajax had left a few things for Gaimont like the aqua dragon blood essence, corpses of king realm aqua dragons and a few other things that could help Gaimont in bing a Golden dragon king. Even though they helped him a lot and made significant changes in his appearance, he still had not evolved into a Golden dragon king. Nevertheless, Gaimont was not disappointed; instead, he felt that it wouldn''t be long before he evolved into a dragon. ''Also, right now, I can kill low-level king realm cultivators with ease and it will take some time but I can also kill mid-level king realm cultivators. The same goes for brother Geron.'' At the same time, Giamont informed Ajax about the increment in his battle prowess, making Ajax reveal a satisfied smile on his face. ''Excellent.'' Ajax praised him and ordered, ''For now, don''t bother about the mid-level demon kings. You and Uncle Geron should take care of the low-level demon kings.'' Even though Gaimont said that he and Geron could kill the mid-level demon kings, Ajax was against it because it would take quite some time for them to kill mid-level demon kings. ''I want you to decrease the number of king realm cultivators as swiftly as possible.'' Since Geron was confident in killing the low-level demon kings with ease, Ajax asked him to only take care of them. ''Also, order the battle beasts to do the same.'' ''Okay. I will order the battle beasts to join forces together to kill the low-level demon kings then.'' Soon, Ajax finished giving orders to Gaimont. Since there were more than 500 battle beasts, they could form into groups with five battle beasts in each group to take care of a single low-level demon king. So, it would be around 100 groups which were equivalent to 100 low-level king realm cultivators. As Gaimont delivered all the orders he received from Ajax to everyone, they started doing it without any hesitation because they have absolute faith and confidence in Ajax. "Why don''t you stop moving for a while?" At the same time, the Primeval ent king drilled his branches into the ground which came out of the ground in the distance and wrapped around a dozen low-level demon kings and hundreds of cannon fodder demons. The moment they were immobilized by Skaros'' branches, they struggled very hard to free themselves. "Weaken" However, the primeval ent king didn''t give them any time to free themselves as he used another one of his skills to drain their stamina. Soon, they became weak and stopped struggling to free themselves. "Puchi" "Kacha" In the next second, a sharp branch came out of the ground that either pierced through the weakened demons or choked them to death. Everything happened in a few seconds as Skaros killed a dozen low-level demon kings and hundreds of elite demon generals with his peak rank 6 cultivation. "What are you looking at? Kill these b*stards." The territory beast kings of the cursed wilderness were shocked by the skills disyed by their king; however, they came out of their thoughts and joined the battle. ¡­. ''Brat, so you are talking about the spirit beasts from the cursed wilderness. When did you tame them all?'' Elder Boron was a little surprised to see that all the spirit beasts from the Cursed Wilderness joined the battle after a single call from Ajax. ''However, what are you going to do with the mid-level demon kings?'' ''I have a n for them too.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Elder Boron. ****** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1400 Elder Boron realizes his true battle prowess

Chapter 1400 Elder Boron realizes his true battle prowess

Ajax had divided the demon invasion into four categories depending on the strength of the demons. The low-level demon kings along with the cannon fodder demons are thrown into the first category and among all the categories, this category contains millions of demons. They would be taken care of by Ajax''s elemental spirits, the contracted spirit beasts, the human cultivators and the spirit beasts from the cursed wilderness. In another category, he put all the high-level demon kings who were currently being killed by Westin and other human high-level king realm cultivators. In the third category, the demon apostles could destroy the Purple stone world if they were pushed into a corner. So, it is dangerous for normal cultivators to fight. As of now, Elder Boron was the only one who was actively fighting against the demons in this category along with his two emperor realm elemental spirits. Nevertheless, the demon apostles started joining the other categories of the demons to help but Elder Boron was trying his best to stop them. However, it was not going tost as Elder Boron was just a low-level emperor realm cultivator. As for thest category, it consists of mid-level demon kings where his summons or the beasts from the Cursed wilderness would have a hard time killing them. ''Westin is helping humans gain the upper hand against the high-level demon kings.'' ''With the appearance of the spirit beasts from the cursed wilderness, my summons and the other human cultivators are having an easy time against the low-level demon kings and the cannon fodder. So, it will not take much time before we emerge victorious in this category.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he heard Elder Boron''s words, ''However, what are you going to do with the mid-level demon kings?'' ''Hehe'' Ajax revealed a sheepish smile on his face as he replied to Elder Boron, ''Don''t get surprised or shocked.'' "Prophis, release them all out and join the battle along with Halo." Ajax summoned Prophis and Halo as he ordered him to release something. Ajax was storing Prophis and Halo for thest as he wanted to finish the demon invasion in a single sweep. Since the demon apostles were trying to help their minions, Ajax didn''t hesitate to hold back himself anymore as he decided to go all out. "Yes, summoning master." Prophis was waiting for this moment. So, he was excited as he released 10 devourer eagle kings out of his secret space before rushing to join the fight along with the time elemental spirit. "Time halt" "Dimensional sh" The moment Prophis and Halo joined the battlefield, they worked together and killed more than one hundred thousand cannon fodder demons in less than 10 seconds. Halo stopped the time where there was arge number of demons and Prophis would use his invisible spatial de to sh them all. ''Screech'' At the same time, ten huge devourer eagle kings flew into the sky as they released their screeches that were filled with excitement. ''What?'' ''Aren''t they all devourer eagles?'' ''Wait a second¡­they are all king realm devourer eagles and all of them have crowns on their heads.'' ''Yes, they are not normal king realm devourer eagles; instead, they are devourer eagle kings.'' With the sudden appearance of 10 more devourer eagle kings, everyone stopped their fight for a moment before looking at the sky. They were all surprised and became excited because, with the appearance of 10 king realm devourer eagle kings, their chances of winning against the demons have increased once again. As humans were bing excited and aggressive with the appearance of the 10 devourer eagle kings, the demons became a little bit fearful. ''What is there to fear? We have 14 demon apostles on our side whose cultivation was at a low-level emperor realm.'' ''Yes, They are just low-level spirit beast kings.'' However, they became confident once again after thinking about their demon apostles. "Holy heavens¡­I was already shocked that this boy got one kingdom devourer eagle king; however, he was hiding 10 more devourer eagle kings who know where." Just like others, Elder Boron was shocked by the appearance of the 10 king realm devourer eagle kings. He already thought having one devourer eagle king was an achievement but Ajax had a total of 11 king realm devourer eagle kings. ''What''s more, one of them has already be the peak mid-level spirit beast king and it might be a high-level spirit beast king any time soon.'' Elder Boron''s eyesnded on the peak mid-level devourer eagle king, the leader of the 10 devourer eagle kings as he silently muttered to himself. "Stop looking elsewhere in the middle of the fight." As he was observing the devourer eagle kings, one of the primordial demon apostles threw a punch at him. ''Swoosh'' However, before the punch couldnd on him, Elder Boron disappeared from his ce and appeared behind a great void demon apostle. "Even if I didn''t pay much attention to the demon b*astards like you, you can''tnd a single attack on me." ''Kacha'' Before that great void demon apostle could react, Elder Boron snapped his neck and scoffed at the primordial demon apostle who failed tond his punch on him. ''Three down.'' Elder Boron counted the demon apostles he killed so far without breaking a single drop of sweat. ''It''s all thanks to the artifact I was able to be this strong. Looks like I didn''t waste any time while supplying the resources to Ajax through the artifact.'' Even Elder Boron was surprised at the fact he was much stronger than he assumed because he hadn''t fought with a powerful foe for thest 16 years. Most of the items were moving here and there while travelling from one world to another with the help of the system, collecting the items from those worlds. All these things had made him so powerful that he was able topete even against mid-level emperor realm cultivators and he could still win the fight. ******* Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''.

They decided that they should just kill Elder Boron as soon as possible and then take control of the Purple stone world. With an Emperor realm cultivator, no matter how many king realm cultivators the Purple stone world had, they could not do anything against them. The three golden demon apostles joined with the other demon apostles, leaving the monstrous Daen alone with his fight against the merged elemental spirit, to fight Elder Boron. Even when 13 demon apostles worked together to fight against Elder Boron, they were unable to kill him; instead, another one of them got killed by him. Until now, Elder Boron had killed three of the demon apostles reducing their number to 12. ''As long as I mock them, they won''t bother to attack others. I just need to stall for some time until the high-level demons and mid-level demon kings get killed by others.'' Even though Elder Boron seemed to be doing just fine, he knew that he could notst for much longer. Actually, killing three demon apostles was already out of his expectations as he realized today how powerful he had be during the past 16 years. ''Brat, if you have any more trump cards, just use them all and clear these demons.'' Elder Boron silently transmitted his voice to Ajax and asked him not to hide any more trump cards under his sleeves. ''There is another one I will be using soon.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Elder Boron as he asked, ''How many demon apostles have you killed so far?'' ''Three. Aren''t you proud to have such a powerful grandfather?'' Elder Boron bragged about killing three demon apostles; however, Ajax wasn''t interested in his bragging. Instead, he asked, ''Then, why don''t you feed them to one of my devourer eagle kings?'' ''Sure. Ask them toe to me.'' Elder Boron knew that Ajax was nning to feed the mid-level king realm devourer eagle king and help it a breakthrough in its cultivation. ''If it could be a high-level spirit beast king, then he could take care of two or three demon apostles on its own.'' Elder Boron was looking forward to the breakthrough of the mid-level king realm devourer eagle king. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Elder Boron shed a couple of times as he collected the three corpses of the demon apostles and threw them into the sky. ''Screech'' Before the demon apostles could realize why Elder Boron threw the corpses of the three demon apostles into the air, they saw thergest devourer eagle king among the newly appeared devourer eagle kings fly towards them and caught three corpses before disappearing into the distance. ''This speed¡­.it is faster than my speed.'' It took only two a couple of seconds for Alder, the mid-level devourer eagle king, to travel such a long distance because of its ''Advanced eleration'' beast soul. The speed was much faster than Elder Boron, who was invincible among the low-level emperors. ''Screech'' ''Devour'' Once, Alder caught the three corpses of the demon apostles in his beak, he used his devouring beast soul and started devouring them. Soon, arge amount of demonic energy came out of the three corpses; however, the devouring beast soul converted that demonic energy into pure essence energy. ''Alder, how long do you need for your breakthrough? Or do you need more demon apostles'' corpses?'' Since Ajax had formed the spirit contract with Alder, he was able tomunicate with it through the voice transmission even though it was very far away from him. ''Master, I think I have enough energy to be a high-level demon king in a couple of hours; however, if I can get another two corpses of the demon apostle, I can be a high-level spirit beast king right away.'' Alder hesitated a little before saying that if he wanted to be a high-level spirit beast king right away, he needed another two corpses of the demon apostle. ''Another two?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment when he heard those words. Even though Ajax knew that the devourer eagle kings were greedy, right now, he was sure that Alder was not greedy and simply stated the fact. Because they don''t have the luxury to wait for another two hours to let Alder be a high-level spirit beast king in two hours. ''Grandpa, for an instant breakthrough, Alder needs two more demon apostles'' corpses. Can you get them ready?'' In front of Elder Boron, Ajax didn''t mind acting shamelessly as he asked for another two more demon apostles'' corpses. ''What? Do you think I am cooking or what?'' Elder Boron shook his head and looked at the devourer eagle king in the distance and shook his head before saying, ''Give me a few minutes, I will try to get them.'' As the guardian of the Purple stone world, Elder Boron should do anything and everything to protect the world from demons. ''Why I try to get you what you want, why don''t you order Westin to help the three protectors. With the help of the protectors, the protector spirit beast will heal faster.'' Elder Boron saw that the protector spirit beast was still healing its injuries while the merged elemental spirit was fighting Daen on equal terms. So, he asked Ajax to help the protectors, who could, in turn, help the protector spirit beast. ''Okay.'' Hearing that Eler Boron agreed to his request, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face as he ordered Westin. ''Westin, stop the high-level demon kings from attacking the three protectors.'' ''Yes, master.'' Westin nodded his head as he rushed towards clearing the high-level demon kings surrounding Elder Boron. ''Ding, There is only one minute left before the host''s bloodline ''Elemenental spirit merger bloodline'' gets deactivated. ****** Support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1402 Figuring out Daen’s weakness

Chapter 1402 Figuring out Daen''s weakness

''Ding, There is only one minute left before the host''s bloodline ''Elemenental spirit merger bloodline'' gets deactivated. Just as Ajax thought everything was going well, he received the system notification that made him raise his brows. ''Nine minutes are already up?'' The elemental spirit merger bloodline can be activated for 10 minutes if he merges three elemental spirits. Until now, Ajax was focused on many things regarding the invasion. So, he felt that the nine minutes were finished faster than he thought. ''Sigh¡­looks like I need toe up with another n for Daen.'' Nevertheless, other than sighing, Ajax could only ept it and think of another n to take care of Daen. Currently, Daen posed the same amount of threat that the other demon apostles posed. So, he needs a good and solid n to kill Daen. ''I think only if Alder bes a high-level spirit beast king, Daen can be killed.'' Right now, other than Elder Boron, there was no one who could kill Daen, not even the peak mid-level spirit beast king like Alder. Since Elder Boron was already busy taking care of the demon apostles, Ajax could not ask Elder Boron''s help. As for Westin, even if he upgraded his demonic form to level 2, the chances of him defeating Daen were not that high. However, if Alder could be a high-level spirit beast king, then it would be a piece of cake for him to take care of Daen. ''But, for his breakthrough, it will take time.'' Soon, Ajax''s eyesnded on the white mist beside him as his eyes lit up. ''That''s right! I still have this thing.'' With a hopeful look on his face, Ajax asked the system, ''How much time is left for the construction of the Teleportation circle.'' That''s right! The thing that made Ajax hopeful about defeating Daen was none other than the ''Teleportation circle'' that was under construction. When Ajax gave permission to the system to construct the ''Teleportation circle'', it informed him that it needed only 10 minutes. So, he felt the ''Teleportation circle'' would be avable for use in no time. ''Ding, There are still two minutes left for thepletion of the construction. ''Two minutes? Excellent.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the system notifications because the merged elemental spirit still has one more minute left before it demerges back into three elemental spirits. So, Ajax just needed to stall for another minute before he could get reinforcements from the other world. ''As long as I stall one more minute, I can guarantee that except for the demon apostles, everything will be taken care of by my army.'' When he looked at the white mist beside him, Ajax was very confident in taking care of all the demons except for the demon apostle. ''If there are no mid-level or high-level demon kings, the high-level king realm cultivators from our side can join forces to kill the demon apostles.'' That was Ajax''s n from the beginning and never changed. When humans join forces, they could even take down the cultivators one realm higher than them without any problem. Adding humans and elemental spirits, the purple stone world has nearly 300 high-level king realm cultivators. Even if they formed into three groups with 100 members in each group, they could easily take care of three demon apostles. ''Of course, Grandpa can continue to stall the other demon apostles with his trash talk and eventually he could kill them one by one just like earlier.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he felt the demonic invasion waspletely under control and he just had to take care of Daen for one minute after his elemental spirit merger bloodline deactivated. ''Wait a second'' All of a sudden, Ajax thought of something else and hurriedly transmitted his voice to the merged elemental spirit, ''Did you sense anything wrong with Daen?'' ''Hm¡­we didn''t sense anything wrong, summoning master.'' The voices of the three elemental spirits resounded in his head, making Ajax frown a little as he thought, ''How can it be? You already killed him once and aftering back from the dead, he became more powerful, right?'' ''Yes, summoning master.'' The three elemental spirits agreed with Ajax''s words. ''Then, there has to be something wrong with him. Without any side effects, he can''t have that much power.'' Ajax knew that the sudden increase of unusual battle prowess would lead to great side effects. For example, if he uses the Abyssal bloodline for 30 minutes, he would need to rest for another three-five hours. As for the elemental spirit merger bloodline, there were no side effects on him; instead, the elemental spirits that merged with the help of that bloodline would need to rest for an entire day. ''If not for my grade 5 tempered body, my body would have be weak after using the aqua dragon bloodline.'' Ajax knew the reason why he didn''t have any side effects after using the aqua dragon bloodline; however, even with that, he still felt he was weak for some time. ''Summoning master, I don''t know whether it was considered as something fishy or not, I sensed that Daen became more aggressive aftering back from the dead.'' As Ajax was feeling there had to be something wrong with Daen, he heard Zen''s voice in his head. ''Aggressive? Exin more about it.'' Ajax didn''te to a conclusion right away; instead, he asked Zen to exin more about it. ''Hmm¡­how do I say this? Zen thought about it for a moment before forming his lines and said, "He seemed like he was in a hurry to finish the battle. As though he needed to take care of something else and keep on going for my weak spots.'' ''Seemed to be in a hurry?'' Ajax raised his brows as he felt oddly familiar with the feeling that Zen had just described. ''Looks like that''s it. We found it.'' It took only a few seconds for Ajax to figure out what was wrong with Daen and soon, he revealed a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1403 Kill. Devour. Heal

Chapter 1403 Kill. Devour. Heal

Many times, Ajax also wanted to finish the battle with his opponent as soon as possible because the boost in battle prowess was not permanent. So, before the boost in his battle prowess, he had to finish the battle whether he liked it or not. ''Looks like he can''t maintain the boost in his battle prowess forever. No wonder he wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible.'' Ajax was very sure that Daen was also running out of time just like his merged elemental spirit. ''But the problem is I don''t know how much longer he can hold on to his boosted battle prowess.'' Ajax already knew his merged elemental spirit had less than a minute before bing powerful; however, he had no way to find out Daen''s cooldown. ''I wonder if the Protector spirit beast can stall Daen for one minute for me?'' Ajax had no way of figuring out the cooldown for Daen''s boosted battle prowess. So, he thought about the protector spirit beast. By now, the three protectors have already gone to help the protector spirit beast in its healing and at the same time, they didn''t forget to boost its strength. ''Or should I use the Emperor beast pendant?'' Ajax even thought of using one of the two special items he received from his master, the bloodline emperor, Mostror. ''No, I can''t use it right now as I will be wasting it right now.'' For now, Ajax felt the situation waspletely under control and he didn''t want to summon the Emperor realm spirit beast stored in the pendant. ''It only has two uses left and I can''t use it carelessly.'' After thepletion of this war, Ajax would start nning for his world-conquering mission. At that time, he was nning to conquer the normal world. So, he needed to have some kind of protection and the emperor spirit beast pendant was one of them. ''Moreover, it will be automatically activated if I am in danger. So, I should not use it when the situation ispletely under control except for theing one minute.'' The situation waspletely controlled for Ajax, but he had to do something about the one minute after his elemental spirit merger bloodline gets deactivated. ''Am worrying too much about that one minute?'' At the same time, he felt he was overthinking about that one minute because, with the protector spirit beast along with the three protectors who had the high-level king realm cultivation, Daen could not do much damage. ''In any case, I will ask Alder to help the protectors and the protector spirit beasts for that one minute.'' Even though he felt like he was overthinking, Ajax was unable to remain calm until he decided to send the peak mid-level devourer eagle king to help the protector spirit beasts. ''As long as the construction of the ''Teleportation circle'' ispleted, the war wille to an end in a short time.'' Ajax looked at the white mist beside him and silently thought to himself. ''Ding, The host''s special demonic space ispletely filled. Please use the special demonic energy as soon as possible to avoid bing a crazy demonic being. Just as he was waiting for the construction of the teleportation circle to finish, Ajax received a system notification in his head. ''What? Is it filled already?'' Ajax was surprised by the system notification as he didn''t expect Westin to kill so many high-level demon kings already. ''Ding, So far, he killed 55 high-level demon kings and received 5500 units of special demonic energy. The system informed him about the high-level demon kings killed by Westin, making Ajax reveal a wide smile on his face. ''As expected of my special follower. Let''s raise your demonic form''s level.'' Even though there is still some time before Westin''s demonic form falls into a cooldown, Ajax decides to upgrade it ahead of his nned time. ''Westin, I am upgrading the demonic form once again. You will be weak for a few minutes. So, return to me at this instant. Once the demonic form upgrades, you can maintain it for another 10 minutes without any problem.'' Ajax informed Westin about the next demonic form upgrade and asked him to prepare for the sudden drop in his battle prowess for a few minutes. Westin should not be on the battlefield when he was in a weakened state because he killed so many high-level demon kings in a short time and everyone was angry at him. So, if they sensed that Westin became weak, all the high-level demon kings would target him. "Yes, master." Westin was a little disappointed; however, when he thought about his demonic form''s upgrade, he was excited. ''I will leave the battlefield temporarily; however, once I am back, I will take care of you.'' Westin eyed all the high-level demon kings before rushing towards the devourer eagle king that was protecting Ajax from the war. Whenever the low-level demon kings or the cannon fodder demons were within a five-kilometer radius of that devourer eagle king, he would use its devouring ability to devour them without any hesitation. That''s the reason why there was not a single demon within a five-kilometer radius around the devourer eagle king. Beyond that, Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits and the rest of the cultivators from the Purple stone world were fighting the low-level demon kings and the demon cannon fodder. ''Screech'' ''Screech'' ''Devour'' ''Swoosh'' As for the mid-level demon kings, they were currently taken care of by the nine devourer eagle kings. They would fight the mid-level demon kings without bothering about the injuries on their bodies because they would devour the mid-level demon kings they killed to heal their injuries. Kill. Get injured. Devour to heal those injuries. And repeat. The devourer eagle kings were bing more and more powerful by repeating that cycle as they decreased the mid-level demon kings. ¡­. ''It''s time to upgrade Westin''s demonic form.'' As for Ajax, he was excited to upgrade Westin''s demonic form. Chapter 1404 Elemental spirit merger bloodline gets deactivated

"Master, I am here." Westin entered into the devourer eagle king''s safety zone and excitedly called Ajax. "Good. We don''t have much time. Let''s begin the upgrade." ''System, upgrade Westin''s demonic form to level 2.'' Ajax nodded his head as he didn''t waste any time talking with Westin and directly asked the system. ''Ding, Consumed 1000 units from Westin''s special demonic space. ''Ding, Consumed 4000 units from the host''s special demonic space. ''Ding, Upgrading Westin''s demonic form from level 1 to level 2. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications in his head as the process of upgrading Westin''s special demonic space started. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the special demonic energy from Westin and Ajax''s bodies came out and floated around Westin for a few moments before entering Westin''s body. ''Aargh'' As soon as the special demonic energy entered Westin''s body, he felt an unbearable pain all over his body and at the same time, he fell to the ground. "Westin, endure it." "Having no talent is not your fault; however, if you can''t endure this much pain, how do you n to achieve big things in the future?" "Think about it¡­think about bing a powerful emperor realm cultivator." "Think about the realm after the emperor realm. Think about how powerful a cultivator who broke through the emperor realm will have." Even though Ajax didn''t feel much pain when upgrading his demonic form, he didn''t think Westin was acting in front of him. So, he tried to help Westin as he was motivated about the future and the goals Westin had in his head from his childhood. Earlier, when he received the system, the system gave brief information about Westin and how his childhood was. So, of course, Ajax knew what he had to do in order to help Westin endure such unbearable pain. "Y¡­yes. I¡­can¡­do¡­it." With each sentence from Ajax, Westin felt a deep desire to achieve such power because when he had such power, no one would look down on him or mock him or bully him. ''Phew¡­he sure has a very strong will.'' Ajax was satisfied with Westin''s strong will which was ignited with only a few sentences. ''Ding, The host activated his elemental spirit merger bloodline for 10 minutes. ''Ding, Deactivating the bloodline and the merged elemental spirit will be merged right away. Just as Ajax was feeling satisfied with Westin''s strong will, he received the system notification regarding his elemental spirit merger bloodline, making him shake his head. ''Now, the next one minute is critical.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he waited for Westin''s demonic form to be upgraded to level 2 and at the same time, he kept an eye on the white mist beside him. ... Outside the devourer eagle kings'' safety zone. ''Swoosh'' The merged elemental spirit that was fighting Daen, backed away from Daen and in the next second, it demerged into three elemental spirits that directly fell to the ground. "Looks like your time is up." Dawn was surprised for a moment; however, at the same time, he was excited seeing the three unconscious elemental spirits on the ground. "You have made me use the secret trump card that I was hiding for nearly a hundred years. Let''s see who will protect you now." Daen was furious at the three elemental spirits that pushed him into a corner and made him use his secret trump card. So, he decided to kill them first before killing their master. "I know you are hiding in those wings and controlling your contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. After killing these three elemental spirits, I aming for you." Daen looked at the huge devourer eagle king in the distance that was protecting Ajax and coldly muttered to himself. ''Swoosh'' ''Die'' Since Daen was also running out of time, he wanted to kill those three elemental spirits and Ajax. In an instant, he appeared in front of three unconscious elemental spirits and shed his sword at them. "No" The three protectors were busy healing and boosting the protector spirit beast; however, they still noticed Daen''s actions and wanted to stop. But, they were not in a position to save the three elemental spirits as they were quite far away and even if they cover the distance in time, they didn''t have the power to stop Daen. ''Swoosh'' Just when Daen''s sword was about to touch them, the three elemental spirits turned into mists before disappearing into thin air. "What? Where did they go?" Daen was shocked by what happened in front of his eyes as he was unable to believe that the three elemental spirits escaped right in front of him. "Damn it¡­I am going to kill you, b*stard." Most of the time, Daen would control his anger and only after calming himself down, he would make decisions. However, right now, he had only one goal in his mind and it was to kill the brat who summoned those three elemental spirits. The ce where Ajax was sitting was not a secret as everyone knew that he was under the wings of the devourer eagle kings. So, Daen rushed in that time without bothering about the three protectors and the protector spirit beast. ''Ding, Detected the three elemental spirits are in an extremely weak state. Sending them directly into the inner world to rest in their respective elemental paradises. As for Ajax, he received a system notification in his head and saw the three unconscious elemental spirits were sent into the respective elemental paradises. ''Phew¡­they are safe.'' Seeing that they didn''t have any injuries and were only tired from expending so much of their energy, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. "Master, that demon king is rushing towards us at an incredible speed." As he heaved a sigh of relief, he heard the devourer eagle king''s words and looked in the direction from where Daen wasing. "It''s not good" Ajax became a little anxious as he looked at the angry Daen that was rushing toward him. ... Chapter 1405 Demon Emperors gets scolded

Chapter 1405 Demon Emperors gets scolded

"Get out of my way." "Die" "Puchi" "Only death awaits those who stand in my way." Daen was like a killing machine that killed everyone that came in his way. Whether it was a human or a demon, a low-level king realm cultivator or a mid-level king realm cultivator or even a high-level king realm cultivator. In front of Daen, they were nothing as they got killed by him in a single strike and within no time, Dawn already entered the empty space around the devourer eagle king. "Master, I don''t think I can stop him. Why don''t we fly away from here." Cale, the devourer eagle king that provided Ajax with a safety zone until now, shared its thoughts with Ajax and informed them that it could not stop Daen. Even though the low-level king realm devourer eagle king didn''t have the power to stop Daen, it had the speed that it was proud of. So, it suggested, that they should fly away from their current position. "No. We can''t leave this position, right now." Ajax shook his head as he directly disagreed with leaving the ce because if Daen knew about the construction of the Teleportation circle, he would destroy it. "Also, it is not a good time for Westin to travel at such speeds." Another reason that stopped him from flying away was Westin, who was barely able to endure the pain from the upgradation of his demonic form. "But¡­if we stay here, we will die." Even though the devourer eagle king was loyal to Ajax, it cared for its life even more. So, it didn''t want to die while trying to protect construction. "Don''t worry. Nothing will happen to us as I have this thing in my hands." Just as he finished his words, a pendant appeared in Ajax''s hand along with a bitter smile on his face. He was not nning to use it unless the situation degraded a lot and right now, Ajax felt he needed it; otherwise, everything they did until now would be gone. ''Even if I use this now, I will still have another use left.'' Other than saying that, Ajax didn''t find anything better to console himself. "What is taking you so long to conquer this low-level normal world?" Just as Ajax nned to use the ''Emperor spirit beast pendant'' to stop Daen until the construction of the ''Teleportation circle'' was finished, an arrogant voice came from the demon portal. "What? Why is he here?" Dawn, who was rushing towards Ajax, stopped in his tracks as he hurriedly turned to look in the direction of the voice. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a golden demon that looked more majestic and arrogant than the three golden demonic apostles came out of the portal. Behind him, there were 100 high-level golden demon kings who looked very strongpared to the high-level demon kings that Westin killed earlier. "Sir¡­Barellok? Why did hee here?" Not only Daen but the three golden demon apostles who were fighting Elder Boron were also shocked by the appearance of the powerful golden demon. ¡­. 30 minutes back. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The virtual avatars of the five demon emperors were gathered in an empty room that only had a table and five chairs. "Do you have any idea why the demon god summoned us here?" The five demon emperors looked at each other and asked one another about their sudden summoning while sitting on the chairs. "I don''t know but I think it might be rted to our ongoing mission." The golden demon emperor was not only the richest among all the emperors, he had enough intelligence to think. "I guess the same." The remaining demon emperors except for the Primordial demon emperor agreed with the Golden demon emperor''s words. "What about it? Is there any problem with it?" Unlike other demon emperors, the Primordial demon emperor was not as intelligent as the other demon emperors. So, he asked about it. ording to him, the mission of conquering the Purple stone world was going well and there was no problem in conquering itpletely without any problem. "..." The four demon emperors looked at the primordial demon emperor and remained silent for a moment before the golden demon emperor replied, "Brokas, I really didn''t know how you became a demon emperor." "I became a demon emperor with my fists." Brokas, the primordial demon emperor cracked his fingers as he proudly replied to the Golden demon emperor. "Uff" Hearing his proud reply, along with the golden demon emperor, the remaining three demon emperors shook their heads. "Swoosh" "So, you are all here." However, before they could continue their discussion, a ck mist appeared in the center of the table as a pair of red eyes could be seen by the demon emperors. "Demon God" As soon as they heard the familiar voice and saw the eyes in the mist, all five demon emperors stood up and respectfully greeted him. "I think you guessed the reason why I summoned you all here, right?" The words came from the mist as the demon god asked them a question. "Yes, Demon god. We will conquer the Purple stone world in theing one hour." Dilgin, the golden demon emperor was the first one to reply to the demon god. "Hmph" However, he didn''t get any praise; instead, the demon god scoffed at him. "You sent your armies just like I suggested, right?" After scoffing, the demon god asked the demon emperors, who nodded their heads and replied, "Three first-order demon apostles along with their entire army each." "Even with such a lineup, your 15 first-order demon apostles are unable to conquer the Purple stone world?" "I am ashamed to have followers like you." The demon god was angry because a normal world like the Purple stone world that had only one low-level demon emperor was taking such a long time to conquer. "In the future, when I give a mission to conquer the regr or powerful normal worlds, what are you going to do?" Soon, the demon emperors started getting scolded by the demon god as they remained in their seats without daring to give a reply. Chapter 1406 Barellok, The Second Order Demon Apostle.

Chapter 1406 Barellok, The Second Order Demon Apostle.

The Purple stone world is a normal world; however, even among the normal worlds, there are three levels depending on the strength of the cultivators residing in those normal worlds. As long as a normal world had a single emperor realm cultivator, whether it was low-level or high-level, it would be called a Low-level normal world. If a normal world had at least five or more five emperor realm cultivators, then it would fall under the mid-level category of the normal world. As for the high level, there should be more than 10 emperor realm cultivators. In the past, the Purple stone world used to be a mid-level normal world depending on the strength of the cultivators; however, after the incident from 15 years back, the Purple stone world became a low-level normal world. ... "So, what are you going to do?" "Are you going to get scolded by me forever or what?" "Why are you not answering?" With each passing second, the demon god was getting more and more angry with the thick-skinned demon emperors who remained silent the entire time. "Demon god, I will take the full charge and take care of this Purple stone world." Finally, the golden demon emperor mustered his courage as he stood up and replied to the demon god. "How? Are you nning to go by yourself and conquer a low-level normal world?" The demon god asked the golden demon emperor in a mocking tone. "Don''t worry, demon god. I know I can''t make a direct move on a normal world as it would attract the human emperors from other worlds." Dilgin shook his head as he continued to reply, "I will send one of my second order demon apostles and his special team of 100 high-level demon kings along with him." "Hm. Since your first order demon apostles are very weak, you should just send a second order demon apostle." The demon god agreed to the golden demon emperor''s n to wrap up the invasion of the Purple stone world. "We will do the same, demon god." Seeing that the golden demon emperor might get the full credit for conquering the Purple stone world, the rest of the demon emperors said that they would send their second order demon apostles too. "There is no need to trouble yourself with that. One of my second order demon apsotles and his special team is enough to take care of the Purple stone world." Before the demon god could say anything, the golden demon emperor continued to say, "Moreover, three of our first order demon apostles are already there. So, it''s better not to send more than one-second order demon apostle." "But¡­" "Dilgin is right." Just as the Great void demon emperor was about to say something the demon god interrupted his words. "We already sent too many of your troops and if we send, even more, the human emperors from the nearby worlds might use this opportunity to raid a war on your worlds." The demon god said that one-second order demon apostle was more than enough because he knew how powerful they were. So, he ordered that the remaining four demon emperors didn''t have to do anything and rx as the golden demon emperor would take care of wrapping up the invasion of the Purple stone world. "Thank you, Demon god. I will not disappoint you." Dilgin was over the moon when he heard the demon god''s words and could not help but thank him. Even though the golden demon emperor was a little bit suspicious of the Purple stone world for enduring their demon invasion until now, he was not worried much about it. Because a single second order demon apostle was more than enough to take care of a low-level world like the Purple stone world. ..... Present time. "Is he the famous second order golden demon apostle, Barellok?" "Isn''t he the one who became the second order demon apostle with a cultivation of low-level emperor realm but became a mid-level emperor realm cultivator on the very next day?" "Why is he here?" "Don''t tell me our demon emperors are not happy with how we are taking care of this world and sending the second order demon apostles to wrap up the invasion as soon as possible?" . . . The rest of the golden demon apostles were shocked when they heard the name of the golden demon that came out of the portal and started talking among themselves about the possible reasons for his arrival. "The demon emperors are unhappy with your performance and sent me here to take care of the Purple stone world as soon as possible." Barellok cleared his throat as he announced the reason behind his arrival. "Anyway, let''s not waste any more time. You can continue with your battle. We take care of the powerful cultivators from the Purple stone world." Barellok didn''t want to bother with the low-level human cultivators. So, he asked the demons to continue with their fight as he rushed toward Elder Boron. "As for you, kill all the human king realm cultivators except for those who surrender and agree to be our ve." At the same time, Barellok didn''t forget to order the 100 high-level demon kings, who he brought along with him. "Yes, Sir." The 100 high-level demon kings nodded their heads as they directly rushed towards the ce where high-level king realm cultivators were fighting. "All high-level king realm cultivators, don''t bother to hide your strength." "Go all out and kill the high-level demon kings." With the appearance of Barellok, even Elder Boron felt anxious as he shouted at the human king realm cultivators. "Yes, sir." The human king realm cultivators nodded their heads; however, they were no longer confident in defeating the demons. ¡­. "Looks like your Purple stone world will be conquered by us soon, brat." Daen scoffed at Ajax as he ran towards the devourer eagle king. "As long as I am here, the Purple stone world will never be Demon''s property." Suddenly, a portal opened in front of the devourer eagle king as a few silhouettes walked out of it. Chapter 1407 Kobold versus Daen

Chapter 1407 Kobold versus Daen

A six feet tall handsome demon walked out of the portal along with a group of humanoid beings. "Young master Ajax, we met again." The handsome demon looked at Ajax and replied with a slight smile on his face. "Zanath?" Ajax instantly recognized who the neer was and called his name with a surprised look on his face. Zanath, a half-demon and a half-human. Either the human race or the demon race weed it; however, it only made him be powerful as he wanted to change the future for those who were in the same situation as him. Ajax and Zanath met a couple of times in the past and Ajax had huge respect for Zanth because he gained good things from the ''Never-returning cave'' He gained the soul of Heaven''s destroyer spear and the seed of the ''Tree of blessing'' which could not be found that easily. "I was busy with some missions. So, it took me a while toe here." Zanath informed Ajax as he turned his head to look at Daen. Unlike his unofficial spirit beast army, Ajax didn''t call Zanath and he didn''t even have the means to contact either Zanath. However, he could guess that Zanath was sent by his master, the bloodline emperor Mostror. ''Having a powerful master is really useful in situations like this.'' Even though he created an imaginary master in the past, it was his first time receiving help from his real master. ''Looks like I can save this Emperor spirit beast pendant''. Ajax knew that Zanath is powerful¡­.very powerful than a high-level king realm cultivator. As for his real cultivation, there was no way he could find out unless Zanath tells it himself. Nevertheless, he was sure about one thing that Zanath and the beings he brought along with him all looked powerful and even with the help of the system, he could not figure out their cultivation. "Haha¡­a half b*stard like you stop the demon invasion of this scale? Haha¡­.let me kill you and show you your worth." Seeing that Zanath was a half-demon and a half-human, Daen could guess the origins of Zanath''s birth. So, he scoffed at him before rushing toward him. "Also, what do you think you can do by keeping the cultivators from the weakest races with you?" At the same time, Daen didn''t forget to mock the cultivators standing behind Zanath. ''Weakest races¡­that''s right?'' Only after hearing Daen''s words, did Ajax realized that Zanth''s followers were either half-demons like him or they belonged to the weakest race. In this universe, there are many races and many life forms and as usual, everything is ssified depending on its strength. Dragons and Titans are the strongest race in the universe that looked down on every other race. Humans, Demons, Devils, Elves, Dwarves, Vampires and other simr races belong to a moderately powerful race and even among these races, they have their own ssification. Vampires > Elves > Humans = Demons= Devils > Dwarves. Coming to the weakest races, it includes those races that could not even be king realm cultivators. These races are Orcs, Kobolds, imp and etc. Right now, there are a total of 10 cultivators behind Zanath among which five were half-demons like him and the remaining five members were three orcs, one kobold and one imp. ''Even though they belong to the weakest races, why can''t the system sense their cultivation?'' Generally, the weakest race members could not even be king realm cultivators; however, Ajax raised his eyebrows because the system was unable to check their cultivation. ''Which means they at least have the cultivation of high-level king realm cultivation or they might be using an extremely powerful artifact to hide their cultivation.'' This was the conclusion Ajax came to in his head; however, he strongly felt that they were high-level king realm cultivators. "Young master Ajax, you can take rest as I will take care of the demon apostles." Zanath didn''t even bother to look at the iing Daen as he informed Ajax before flying away from his ce. "Where are you going? Are you scared?" Daen raised his brows as he didn''t expect Zanath to run away like that and shouted at him. "Go and take care of those high-level demon kings as I will take care of him." The cultivator with a dog head said to his fellow teammates as he slowly walked towards Daen. "Don''t toy with him; instead, kill him as fast as you can before joining us." Zanath''s remaining nine followers warned the cultivator with the dog head before rushing towards the high-level demon kings brought by Barellok. "A dog thinks it can defeat me? What a joke!" Daen was furious when he saw that the cultivator with a dog head wanted to fight it. He scoffed at him before rushing toward him. Kobolds are beings with a human body but with a dog head and because they rarely be king realm cultivators, they were looked down on by all the races. "Die, you dog." In an instant, Daen appeared in front of Kobold as he shed his sword at Kobold''s neck. ''sh'' "Huh? Did I miss it?" Daen was surprised as he looked at the Kobold who was still standing with his head on his body. "But where did this bloode from?" Looking at the blood on the ground, Daen frowned as he sudden;y felt a sharp paining from his right hand. ''Thud'' "Aargh¡­my hand¡­my hand." Only then did he realise that his right hand had fallen to the ground as blood pumped out of his injury. "How did you¡­what kind of magic is it? How can a kobold have such strength?" Daen was shocked as he continued to groan in pain and looked at the Kobold with fear in his eyes. ''sh'' ''sh'' Instead of answers, what Daen received from Kobold was another three lightning speed shes which he could barely see. ''Puchi'' Soon, he realized that his left hand along with two legs were cut off by the Kobold. ''Holy heavens¡­are Kobolds really this strong?'' Ajax was shocked as he looked at the Kobold in a new light. Chapter 1408 Old Dog

Chapter 1408 Old Dog

"For a demon, you talk too much." ''sh'' The kobold scoffed at Daen before shing off his head. ''Thud'' Daen''s head rolled on the ground before stopping in front of Ajax. Ajax could see that in Daen''e eyes, there was a shocked and unconvinced look. ''In this world, to live long, it''s better to not look down on anyone just before you are powerful.'' Ajax thought as he looked at the Kobold with a respectful look. Even though Kobolds are the weakest race among the countless races in this universe, when you see someone from these weakest races be powerful, they should be respected more than the other cultivators from higher races. "Since Leader Zanath addresses you as ''Young master'', I will do the same. If you don''t like it, you can just say it." The sword in Kobold''s hand disappeared as he called Ajax with a respectful look in his eyes. "It''s okay. What can I call you?" Ajax nodded his head as he didn''t mind him calling him ''Young master'' and at the same time, he asked what he had to call him in a respectful tone. Whether it was a being from the strongest race or the weakest race, it didn''t matter much to Ajax but what mattered to him was his skills and power. Moreover, the Kobold cultivator had helped the Purple stone world by killing Daen. So, of course, he was respectful to him. "You can call me Old Dog." The cultivator with the dog head replied as he continued saying, "Young master, why don''t we continue our chat after we wrap this war?" "Sure." Since there were still millions of demons to take care of, Old dog decided to join the war. So, Ajax nodded his head because he also had some things to take care of. ''Swoosh'' Seeing that Ajax nodded his head, Old dog rushed towards the high-level demon king brought by Barellok. .... ''Since Daen is gone and with the appearance of Zanath and his powerful teammates, the Purple stone world can defend against this demon invasion even more easily now.'' Ajax revealed an ear-to-ear smile on his face as he looked at the white mist and Westin, who was lying on the ground. The white mist which was covering the construction of the teleportation circle started clearing as though the construction was about to finish. As for Westin, he was enduring the pain while lying down on the ground. ''Looks like the construction of the teleportation circle will bepleted soon.'' Looking at Westin and the white mist, Ajax thought the teleportation circle would be constructed before Westin''s demonic form could be upgraded. ''Ding, Westin''s demonic form is upgraded from level 1 to level 2. ''Ding, The capacity of Westin''s special demonic space is upgraded from 1000 units to 5000 units. However, just as he thought about it, Ajax received a couple of system notifications in his head that proved his guess was wrong. ''There is no rule that all my guesses will be right.'' Ajax shook his head as he walked toward Westin and asked, "How are you feeling?" "A little weak¡­master." Westin replied in a weak tone as he tried to get up. "Don''t worry, you can rest for a while." Since Zanath and his teammates were able to keep the situation under control, Ajax thought it would be better for Westin to rest for a while. Because Westin was fighting from the beginning of the war. Not only did he be a mad demonic being but even after getting treated by Ajax, Westin was fighting the demons non-stop. What''s more, Westin could be considered to make the second-highest contribution in this war by killing hundreds of high-level demon kings, thousands of mid-level demon kings, tens of thousands of low-level demon kings and countless demon cannon fodder. Overall, after Elder Boron, Westin was the human with the highest contribution in this war. As for Elder Boron, even though he killed only three demon apostles, it was enough to be the top contributor in the war because of the huge power difference between the demon apostle and the high-level demon kings. "Master, I feel weak because there is no special demonic energy in my body." However, Westin didn''t intend to rest even if the situation was under control. Moreover, the only way for him to be powerful was by killing the demon apostle. "Since you want to join the battle. Go then." Ajax shook his head as he knew what Westin said was true. The more demons he kills the more powerful he would be. "Thank you, master." Westin revealed a slight smile on his face as he slowly stood up from the ground and joined the battle. ''sh'' ''sh'' Before going to the powerful high-level demon kings, Westin casually created huge sword waves and sent them towards the demon cannon fodder. ''Swoosh'' ''My strength is returning.'' The special demonic energy from the hundreds of cannon fodder demons he killed entered his body as Westin felt his strength was increasing. ''I will spend exactly one minute on these cannon fodder demons and fill my special demonic space before joining the fight with high-level demon kings.'' Westin nned everything as he umted the special demonic energy from the cannon fodder demons and low-level demon kings just with his sword waves. He didn''t even bother to use his newly upgraded demonic form as he kept it when he fought for the high-level demon kings. ¡­. ''He became very powerful from the upgrade.'' Looking at how Westin was killing hundreds of demons with just his sword waves without even using his demonic form, Ajax was satisfied. ''If he activated the level 2 demonic form, he can kill the high-level demon kings in a single sh. I wonder whether he could kill the demon apostle?'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax''s heartfelt excitement as he continued thinking with an excited look on his face. ''The more special demonic energy he gathers, the better. I will try to upgrade his demonic form to level 3.'' Chapter 1409 Activating the Teleportation Circle

Chapter 1409 Activating the Teleportation Circle

Currently, both Ajax and Westin have the same level of the demonic form along with the same storage capacity of the special demonic space. However, Ajax only thought of upgrading Westin''s demonic form for the following two reasons. One, Westin is a king realm cultivator whereas Ajax was still a level 7 elite general cultivator. Even though Ajax could defeat normal high-level king realm cultivators by using various trump cards under his sleeve, in the end, it was not his original strength. In the case of Westin, without any trump cards, he could kill mid-level or even high-level king realm cultivators. So, if Westin could have a level 3 demonic form, then he would be able to fight the low-level emperor realm cultivators on equal grounds or he might even kill them. As for the second reason, if Westin could kill the demon apostles, it would not take much time for Westin to fill both his and Ajax''s special demonic space. When that timees, Ajax could easily upgrade his demonic form to level 3 as he would have enough special demonic energy. ''Even if I don''t have enough special demonic energy, I can bring Westin along with me on my world-conquering mission. At that time, I will umte as much special demonic energy as I want.'' Ajax had already concluded that he had won the battle with the demon invasion and he was nning what to do after the war. ''Once I enter the King realm, I will explore the Greater human worlds to broaden my horizons.'' Ajax was really looking forward to exploring the greater human worlds as he wanted to meet all types of cultivators and different life forms and find more about the realm after the Emperor ream. ''Before that, my most important mission will be to find my parents.'' Even though Elder Boron didn''t say that his parents died at the same time, he didn''t say they were alive either. It was just that the souls of the emperor realm cultivators could leave their bodies and re-cultivate their physical bodies from scratch. So, Ajax was hoping both his parents were alive. ''Also, after I be the Emperor of the Purple stone world, there is no need for the assassination sect to exist anymore.'' From Elder Boron, Ajax learned that the true mastermind behind the betrayal of the guardians against his father. If it was just that reason, Ajax didn''t mind the existence of the assassination sect in the Purple stone world because the other members of the sect might be innocent. However, Ajax was being hunted by the assassin sect even after the death of the so-called Ancestor. So, Ajax wanted to erase its existence from the face of the Purple stone world just like he swore in the past. ''Ding, The construction of the Teleportation circle is finished. Just as Ajax was thinking about the things he had to do in the future, he received a system notification, making him reveal a slight smile. ''It''s finallypleted. Ajax didn''t have to walk as he was already standing close to the white mist earlier. Right now, there was no white mist; instead, there was a horizontally floating circr stone that was made up of some unknown material. ''So, this is the teleportation circle.'' Ajax thought back to the teleportation circle that was linked to his normal dwarf world and the Purple stone world. Compared to that, the teleportation circle in front of him was entirely different. ''Ding, To open the portal to the world connected to this teleportation circle for ten minutes, it requires one hundred thousand units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, From the 11th minute, it costs one hundred thousand units of the essence of nature for every minute. As he wasparing the two teleportation circles, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, informing him about the cost of opening the portal to the world that Ajax had linked to the teleportation circle. ''No problem.'' Looking at the cost, Ajax was neither surprised nor shocked as he merely nodded his head before thinking, ''For the current me, thest thing Ick is the essence of nature.'' Because of his four exploration teams that were farming the essence of nature for him in the smaller demon world, Ajax didn''tck anything. Right now, not only his spirit consciousness but even his King realm spirit gourd was overflowing with the essence of nature. ''So, why don''t you open the portal now?'' Since he had enough units of the essence of nature, Ajax asked the system to open the portal. ''Ding, Deducting 100000 units of the essence of nature. ''Ding, Opening the portal to the connected world. Please wait for a moment. As soon as the system notifications ended, Ajax saw energy fluctuations above the horizontally floating circr rock as a small portal appeared. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the portal started bing bigger and bigger with each passing second. ''It''s opening.'' Ajax was excited as he could not wait to see his armye out of the portal. ''System, deduct five million units of the essence of nature and keep the portal open for one full hour.'' Ajax thought one hour was more than enough to wrap up the war with the demons as he was very confident about it. ''Ding, Sure. The required units of the essence of nature will be deducted automatically for the next one hour. ''Good.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and looked around to see how things were going with others. His summons and the cultivators from the Purple stone world were continuing their fight with the demons ording to their strengths. The ten cultivators that Zanath brought with him were fighting the 100 high-level king realm cultivators bought by Barellok. As for Elder Boron and Zanath, they were currently facing Barellok and the other demon apostle. "Since you are a half-demon, why don''t you join us? I will make you the emperor of one of the normal demon worlds under the Golden demon emperor." Chapter 1410 Zaglanath’s might

Chapter 1410 Zanath''s might

Barellok is the second-order demon apostle under the Golden demon emperor and unlike the other demon apostles he was not very strong; however, he was known for his quick wits. So, for that reason, the golden demon emperor send Barellok who could wrap up the war with the Purple stone world and finish the invasion in a short time. "Since you are a half-demon, why don''t you join us? I will make you the emperor of one of the normal demon worlds under the Golden demon emperor." Looking at Zanath, Barellock felt it would be good to have Zanath under him. "Sir Barellok?" "Why do you offer such a good deal to a half-b*stard?" "It is not good for you. The other second-order demon apostles will mock you and talk behind your back." The three golden demon apostles were surprised as they hurriedly asked Barellock to think about his offer to Zanath. "When did it be your ce to suggest to me what to do and what not to do?" Barellok red at the three golden demon apostles who instantly became silent and didn''t say anything. "I don''t have all day to waste on you. Give me your answer in a single word. Yes or no?" After rebuking the three golden demon apostles, Barellok once again asked Zanath. "I am not interested in bing yourckey because I am already following someone." While saying those words, Zanath looked at Ajax in the distance as he revealed a slight smile. "Huh? You are following a human brat?" Barellok was surprised for a moment before startingughing out loud. "What can I expect from a half-b*stardlike you anyway." Hisughter abruptly ended as he revealed a serious look on his face and said, "Since you chose to die, I will give it to you." ''Come out, my dear emperor souls.'' Without wasting any time, Barellok summoned his two emperor souls which were wearing full battle sets. "Come out." At the same time, Zanath also didn''t waste any time as he summoned one emperor''s soul. Unlike Barellok''s demonic souls that were fully equipped and looked demonic, Zanath''s demonic souls looked humane. "You didn''t even have the demonic souls. Looks like I must have overestimated you when I offered you that deal." Barellok scoffed at Zanath for not having a demonic soul as he ordered his demonic souls to attack. "Clone" Zanath didn''t bother with Barellok''s words as he only muttered a single word. ''Swoosh'' His single emperor realm human cultivator''s soul split into three cultivator''s souls. "Take care of those demonic souls and devour them." After finishing his words, Zanath didn''t bother with Barellok; instead, he turned his head to Elder Boron. "Sir guardian, why don''t we take care of these demon apostles while my cultivator''s soul takes care of him and his demonic souls." "Sure." Elder Boron was surprised by Zanath''s words; however, when he received the voice transmission from Ajax, he nodded his head at Zanath. Elder Boron doubted Zanath because he was a half-demon and he could not trust whether he was truly on their side. However, when he received the confirmation from Ajax, he was no longer doubtful of Zanath. ''But, where the hell did that brat such a powerful being?'' For some reason, Elder Boron felt he could not win against Zanath even if he used all his trump cards. So, he wondered where Ajax met him. "Where do you think you are going, you halfling." Barellok was angry when he saw Zanath was not intending to fight him; instead, he was leaving his cultivator''s soul to fight him. So, he became furious and tried to go after Zanath. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could reach Zanath, one of the clones of Zanath''s cultivator''s soul stopped him. ''sh'' "Damn you¡­get out of my way." Barellok shed his sword at the cultivator''s soul; however, it dodged his attack before kicking him. "Thud" Even though Barellok blocked it, the impact from the kick pushed him a few kilometers away. "So, you are confident in your cultivator''s soul. No wonder you rejected my offer." Barellok stabilized his bnce as he looked at Zanath in the distance as he nodded his head in understanding. "I am going to destroy your cultivator''s soul and let''s see what you are going to do then." Either for a king realm cultivator or an emperor realm cultivator, their cultivator''s souls were important. Even though they could recover no matter how much they were damaged, it would slow down the cultivation speed of the cultivator. So, many cultivators didn''t summon their cultivator''s souls unless they really needed to summon them. ''sh'' "Sir guardian, let''s wrap up this invasion as soon as possible." With a simple attack, Zanath killed a demon apostle as he said to Elder Boron. "Of course." After seeing how Zanath didn''t waste his time with words and started taking action, Elder Boron liked him more as he nodded his head. As the guardian of the Purple stone worlds, Elder Boron didn''t want to see the demon invasion continue for long periods as it would pollute the essence of nature with the demonic energy. Soon, Elder Boron and Zanath started hunting the demon apostles as though they were some cannon fodder demons. "Looks like Zanath is really powerful." While waiting for his army from the otherworld to enter the Purple stone worlds, Ajax looked at Zanath''s fight. Compared to Elder Boron, Zanath was faster as he would appear beside a demon apostle and snap their necks even before they could notice. ''Alder, you can go and enjoy eating the demon apostles now.'' At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget to inform the king of the devourer eagle kings to feast on the corpses of the demon apostles. ''Yes, master.'' ''Screech'' With an exciting look in its eyes, the devourer eagle king flew towards the corpses of the demon apostles. ''Ding, The portal to the Five elemental world is opened. The host can contact his army and bring them into the Purple stone world. ''Finally¡­it''s opened.'' Chapter 1411 Reinforcements comes one after another

Chapter 1411 Reinforcementses one after another

''Finally¡­it''s opened.'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax revealed a slight smile as he didn''t waste any more and hurriedly contacted his army in the Five elemental world. That''s right! He connected the Five elemental world with the Purple stone world using the Teleportation circle because he had a powerful army in the Five elemental world. If he could bring that army into the Purple stone, he wouldn''t have to worry about the demon invasion anymore. "Everyone, are you ready?" Thanks to his demonic avatar that he left in the Five elemental world, Ajax was able to inform all his subordinates about the demon invasion of the Purple stone world and asked them to be ready even before the portal was opened. So, as soon as he received the system notification regarding the portal, he hurriedly contacted his contracted spirit beasts like Snow, Sparrow, Raweth and Ghost. "Master, we are here." Just as he finished his words, Ghost jumped out of the portal. Behind him, Snow, Raweth and Sparrow also walked out along with the powerful re-cultivated spirit beasts from their respective tribes. "The lightning hawk tribe has arrived, Master." "The fire crow tribe has arrived." "Neither sparrow tribe has arrived, master." Snow, Raweth and Sparrow had already be king realm cultivators becausepared to the Purple stone worlds, thews and the essence of nature in the Five elemental world were very clear. Each one of them brought 100 king realm re-cultivated spirit beasts with them. "Master, many of my tribe members wanted to join the war but as you requested I only brought the king realm cultivators." Snow and the other two contracted spirit beasts respectfully informed Ajax. "I only need king realm cultivators." Ajax nodded his head and replied with a slight smile as he continued, "So, why don''t you show me how powerful you guys became." Since the resources in the Five elemental world were much better than the resources in the Purple stone world, Ajax was looking forward to seeing how much they improved. Even though he could see their cultivation, the main thing he was interested to see was their battle prowess. "We will not disappoint you with our progress, master." Soon, Snow, Raweth and Sparrow flew into the sky along with their elite tribe members to fight the demon kings. "Let''s split up here. You guys go and take care of the low-level and mid-level demon kings." Raweth ordered his elite tribe members as he flew towards the high-level demon kings. Snow and Sparrow followed Raweth''s actions as they joined him in fighting against the high-level demon kings whereas their elite tribe members went to fight the low-level and mid-level demon kings. "Huh? Where did these birdmene from?" "I saw that brat Ajax opened a portal and they flew out of the portal." "What? Are you sure?" "Of course, I am very sure." "I wonder how many secrets that brat hides." Soon, it became a topic of discussion among both the humans and the demons as they were surprised by the appearance of the new beings. Everyone was jealous of Ajax; however,pared to their jealousy, they were more grateful to him because if not for him, the demon invasion would have been very difficult for them. ''Swoosh'' ''Fire god''s anger'' ''Otherworldly Thunderstorm'' ''Nether realm''s ice storm.'' The moment the three contracted re-cultivated spirit beasts entered the location filled with high-level demon kings, they didn''t waste any time in using their strongest skills. "Aargh" "Swoosh" "Puchi" Soon, hundreds of high-level demon kings were caught in mes, a lightning thunderstorm and a ck-coloured ice storm respectively. By the time the three attacks wereplete, around 300 high-level demon kings were killed and the number of high-level demon kings drastically decreased. "Holy heavens. Such powerful attacks, even the three protectors didn''t have such high-damaging attacks." "I know that." "Where did that brat find them?" "Whoever he brings out, they turned out to be out of the ordinary." The three re-cultivated spirit beasts'' attacks were so powerful that they caused a huge shock among the cultivators. ''They have be very powerful.'' Even Ajax was shocked as he didn''t expect they could take down nearly 300 high-level demon kings in their attacks. "Ghost, what about the fox tribesmen?" Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax looked at the five eyes ghost fox and asked it. "We are here, master." Soon, the fox tribes also walked out of the portal; however,pared to the bird tribes, they bought more tribe members because they were more powerful than the bird tribes, to begin with. So, of course, they have more king realm re-cultivated fox tribesmen. Deon, the tribe leader of the Demonic fox tribe brought around 1000 king realm cultivators and Calden, the tailed spirit fox tribe leader also brought the same. With the addition of 2300 king realm cultivators, the battle between the humans and the demons becamepletely one-sided. "Sir Barellok, we need more high-level demon kings." "Yes, sir. Suddenly we are overwhelmed by a huge number of the high-level king realm cultivators." Even though there were only 500 high-level king realm fox tribesmen in each tribe, it was enough to overwhelm the high-level demon kings because, in the earlier attack from the three bird tribesmen, they lost nearly 300 high-level demon kings and more than 200 high-level demon kings were injured. Overall, it was a critical situation for the demons as they begged Barellok to help them. "Damn it¡­at this rate, we are not going to win." Barellok was still in a stalemate with one of the clones of the Zanath''s cultivators'' soul. Moreover, the demon apostles from their side were getting killed by Elder Boron and Zanath. So, he started bing anxious. "Looks like I don''t have any choice other than the request more help." Barellok was known for his intelligence. So, he expected that in case the other side had any trump cards, he was going to request help from his fellow second-order demon apostle. "If you help me with the invasion, I will owe you one." Chapter 1412 Barellok calls the reinforcements Chapter 1412 Barellok calls the reinforcements¡¡¡¡"If you help me with the invasion, I will owe you one." Once he saw that the humans were gaining the upper hand, Barellok didn''t hesitate anymore as he directly spoke into a talisman. "Are you sure?" From the other side, he heard two voices which seemed very excited about Barellok''s words. "Of course. Otherwise, why would I request you for help?" Barellok gritted his teeth as he replied, "As long as you help in wrapping up this invasion, I will owe you one." "There is no need to owe us anything. Just give us the map to the Demon god''s inheritance grounds." One of the voices asked Barellok without thinking much as though they were waiting for him to request their help. "..." Barellok remained silent as he looked at the humans who were killing all the demons as though they were nothing. ''Damn it¡­I know it won''t be easy making a deal with these b*stards but at this rate, I will lose the war against the Purple stone world.'' Barellok clenched his fist as he was not willing to give away the map he painstakingly got to the other demon apostles. "Think about it faster and give us a reply. At this rate, you will not only lose the war but you will also lose your life in the hands of the human cultivators." "Haha¡­isn''t that a given? The moment he took the mission from the Golden demon emperor, his life was directly linked with the war." "Even if he was able to escape from the human cultivators, the Golden demon emperor would not let him live for his failure." The three voices came out of the talisman in Barellok''s hands one after another, making Barellok raise his brows. ''Damn these b*stards. So, they were eyeing the map of the demon god''s inheritance grounds from the beginning.'' Barellok remembered how the three second-order demon apostles were eager to help him with the Purple stone world''s invasion and why they willingly followed him to the normal demon world. ''So, that''s the reason why they decided to stay in the normal demon world; instead of directly helping.'' Barellok clenched his fists in anger as he muttered in a low voice, ''They were just waiting for my request and as long as I agreed to their deal, they would jump into the portal along with their armies.'' Thinking about it made Barellok more and more as he could not control his anger anymore. ''But, they were not wrong. If I fail this mission, forget about the special reward, I will be killed by the Golden demon emperor.'' Even though Diglin, the golden demon emperor had promised him a great reward on his return, his failure would lead him to his death. It was an unspoken rule of the Golden demon emperor. "So, what did you decide?" "The more time you waste in deciding our deal, the more advantage the human cultivators will get." "So, just say it. As long as you give it, we, three brothers, will help you safely wrap up the invasion on this lowly normal world." The three second-order demon apostles, who were waiting on the other side of the portal had faces full of smiles as they knew Barellok would agree to their deal. "Brother, what if he refuses the deal? We will lose the map to the demon god''s inheritance grounds." "Yes, brother. Even though Barellok didn''t have many trump cards, he will have something out of his sleeve all the time." The two second-order demon apostles worriedly asked their oldest brother with worried looks on their faces. "Don''t worry. If he didn''t agree to our deal, then his chances of failing the mission are high." However, the oldest one among the trio wasn''t worried about anything as he replied with a confident look, "If the invasion fails, then as we all know, he would use something to escape from the Purple stone world. After that¡­.you know what we have to do, right?" "Haha¡­as expected of the big brother. He always thinks far ahead of us." "Thanks to the big brother, we are able to be the second-order demon apostles without any problem. So, of course, this is nothing." The two demons started praising their oldest brothers with faces full of smiles just like always. "I will give you the map to the demon god''s inheritance grounds." Finally, after thinking for a few moments, Barellok decided to give up on the map as he agreed to their deal. "Good." "I know you will agree to it." "What did I say, brothers? Barellok is someone who is intelligent enough to survive any predicament." Hearing Barellok''s words, the three golden demon apostles became excited as they praised Barellok for his intelligence. ''Intelligence, my a*s.'' As for Barellok, he scoffed at them before saying, "However, I will be entering the inheritance grounds with you and let''s share the treasures from the inheritance ground equally." "What?" The three golden demon brothers were shocked by Barellok''s sudden condition. "If you don''t agree to this condition, I don''t mind dying here today." When he said those words, Barellok was serious and the three golden demon brothers could sense the seriousness in Barellok''s words. "Fine. We agree." After waiting for a few moments, the oldest demon among the trio agreed to Barellok''s request. "Good." Barellok heaved a sigh of relief as he nodded his head and asked, "What are you waiting for? Come and join the fight then." Even though Barellok said that he didn''t mind dying today, he always wanted to be a demon emperor. So, without bing a demon emperor, how could he die just like that? Moreover, his only ticket to be a demon emperor was the demon god''s inheritance ground. So, of course, he could not give it away to other demon apostles just like that. After thinking, he came up with a n that he would be sharing the map with those three demon apostles and in return, they have to help him with the invasion. Chapter 1413 Blood Gods Scythe Chapter 1413 Blood God''s Scythe¡¡¡¡"The cultivators from the Purple stone world, look like you are going to win the war against us, the demon." As the war was still ongoing, the three golden demons flew out of the portal and started speaking in a loud tone. "However, sorry to disappoint you that you can never win against the demon race." As soon as they finished their words, the three second-order demon apostles didn''t waste any time as they released their demonic souls. Each one of them had two demonic souls that looked just like them; however, the demonic souls summoned by the oldest demon among the trio were, obviously, much stronger than the demonic souls of the other two demons. "Kill everyone." "Don''t waste any time toying with the humans." "We need to wrap it within five minutes." The three second-order demon apostles didn''te alone as they bought a group of 100 high-level demon kings each just like Barellok. Those three second-order demon apostles came to the Purple stone world without asking permission from the Golden demon emperor. So, they wanted to finish the invasion and leave the Purple stone world before the golden demon emperor could figure out their disappearance. Because of that, they ordered their men to kill all the humans as soon as possible. "Yes, sir." Soon, the 300 high-level demon kings entered the battlefield and the war once again became one side which was the demons'' side. "While our subordinates take care of the high-level king realm cultivators from the human side, we shall go and greet the strongest cultivators from the Purple stone world." Without wasting any time, the three second-order golden demon apostles flew towards Elder Boron and Zanath. "Looks like we gotpany." However, Zanath was not worried much as he told Elder Boron, "Take care of the remaining demon apostles and help the high-level king realm cultivators." Under theirbined attacks, Zanath and Elder Boron killed almost all the demon apostles that came in the first batch except for the three. Also, with the appearance of the 300 powerful high-level demon kings, the high-level king realm cultivators from the human side started struggling. So, Zanath asked Elder Boron to take care of them while he took care of the iing three second-order demon apostles. "Can you handle three of them?" Compared to the regr demon apostles, Barellok and the three iing demon apostles looked very powerful. So, Elder Boron asked Zanath while raising his brows. "I can''t guarantee that I can kill them; however, what I can guarantee you is that they can''t kill me either." With a slight smile, Zanath replied to Elder Boron before flying towards the iing second-order demon apostles. "Don''t worry. I wille back as soon as possible." Elder Boron hurriedly replied to Zanath before looking at the three demon apostles. "Looks like there is no need to hold back anymore." Elder Boron revealed a devil''s smile on his face as he cut his palm. Soon, the blood starteding out; however, not a single drop of blood fell on the ground. Instead, the blood started bing liquid as it took the form of a scythe. "Blood god''s scythe, let''s go." Earlier, with the appearance of Zanath and his followers, Elder Boron could sense that the situation was under control. So, he held back himself from using his main trump card. However, with the appearance of a few more powerful demon apostles and their armies, Elder Boron knew that he should just go all out and take care of the war. "What is that weapon?" The three demon apostles were already having their hearts shaking in fear and after seeing Elder Boron summon some scary-looking weapon, they didn''t know what to do anymore. "I think I was so quiet from the beginning. Let''s ssh some blood." As soon as he finished his words, Elder Boron disappeared from his ce and appeared behind the three demon apostles. ''sh'' Before they could realize what was happening, Elder Boron shed the long blood scythe in his hands and chopped off their heads in a single sh. ''Looks like they are very scared already and after seeing this scythe, they could not move at all.'' With a slight smile, Elder Boron looked at the three corpses on the ground and shook his head. "You can have these three corpses also and breakthrough into the high-level spirit beast king realm." Elder Boron said those words to Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings before rushing toward the high-level demon kings. ''Screech'' With a loud and excited screech, Aldernded on the ground and swallowed the three corpses before flying into the sky. ''After eating all the demon apostles'' corpses, I learned a new bestial and it upgraded very fast because of these corpses.'' After flying into the sky, Alder happily thought in her head as it continued, ''Who would have thought that my third bestial will be rted to the demons.'' Alder had already enough energy to break into the high-level spirit beast king realm; however, it sensed that it awakened a new bestialw and it was already on the verge of bing a bestial soul. So, he devoured more and more corpses of the demon apostles. ''Once I be a high-level spirit beast king, I can fight the demon apostles, right?'' Alder was excited about it as it continued to focus on its breakthrough. ''It''s all thanks to that half-demon. With his appearance, killing the demon apostles became very easy and his followers were taking care of the high-level demon kings, leaving me with no work.'' Alder was trying to use that as an excuse to focus on the break though. Moreover, Ajax also gave it full permission to do whatever it wants. So, it decided to breakthrough with his third bestial soul. ¡­.. "Brat, even though you brought another powerful army, it is still not enough." Elder Boron shouted at Ajax as he shed the heads of the high-level demon kings. "Don''t worry. My main army will being now." With a slight smile, Ajax shouted into the portal, "What are you waiting for? Come out." Chapter 1414 15 Bestial Souls Chapter 1414 15 Bestial Souls¡¡¡¡"What are you waiting for? Come out." With a slight smile, Ajax called out his main army from the Five elemental world. "Brutus is at master''s service." As soon as he called, a humanoid lion jumped out of the portal and gave Ajax a knight''s bow. "Bring out your army and take care of all the high-level demon kings." Ajax nodded his head as he gave his orders to Brutus, the new king of the Mountain lion woods. Previously, the mountain lion woods was ruled by ucus; however, he lost his qualifications to be their king and Brutus became the new king of the Mountain lion woods. At the same time, he swore his loyalty to Ajax along with the rest of the mountain lions in that region of the Five elemental world. Compared to the other two regions, the Shixato wilds and the Western foxnds, the Mountain lion woods were powerful as they have many king realm re-cultivated spirit beasts. "Everyone, let''s prove to the master what we are capable of." "Roar" With a loud roar, Brutus took his 1000 high-level king realm mountain lions along with him to take care of the high-level demon kings. "Holy heveans" "How many beings acknowledge him as their master?" "Is this thest tribe or will he summon even more tribesmen out of that portal?" "Just how powerful is that brat." "I think even the guardian of the Purple stone world will ept his defeat in front of such an army." Looking at the newly arrived mountain lions, all the cultivators were once again shocked at Ajax. Until now, Ajax had summoned so many beings and among them, there were hundreds of high-level king realm beings. If those hundreds of high-level king realm beings fight Elder Boron, the chances of Elder Boron getting defeated were rather high. ''Brat, looks like you already got some fans among the cultivators.'' As an emperor realm cultivator, Elder Boron had sharp senses and he could easily hear the whispers among the cultivators. So, he transmitted his voice to Ajax informing him about thosements. ''Hehe.'' Ajax only smiled in reply as he shook his head. ''Anyway, is that it? Or are you going to give us even more surprises?'' Elder Boron casually asked Ajax because he knew Ajax had already used so many trump cards. ''There are still a few more.'' However, unexpected to Elder Boron''s thoughts, Ajax said he still had a few more. ''What?'' Elder Boron looked at Ajax as though he was a monster. "Penta, looks like you have be very powerful during the time I was not with you." Next, Ajax called another one of his contracted spirit beasts and at the same time, it was the guardian of the Five elemental world, the five elemental pentapus. When he left the five elemental world, the five elemental pentapus had already broken into the king realm and because of the blessing from the Five elemental world, its cultivation speed was insane. In a short time, it had already be a high-level king realm spirit beast. Moreover, it had 15 bestial souls. ''What the¡­.you are the real monster.'' This was thement Ajax gave to the Five elemental pentapus because awakening a couple of cultivator''sws was already an achievement for most of the cultivators. However, the five elemental pentapus had awakened a total of 15 bestialws and even transformed them into bestial souls. "Penta, why don''t you go and have fun in my world?" He sent the five elemental pentapus to fight the demons. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Puchi'' It didn''t waste any time as it directly went to the high-level demon kings and started killing with its tentacles. "Master Ren, I know you are listening to my words. Why don''t youe out and help me out here?" Ajax didn''t stop there as he called for the powerful cultivator in the Five elemental world and it was none other than Master Ren. ''Swoosh'' "Brat, why are you pulling into the mess of other worlds?" Master Ren keeps his eyes on the entire five elemental world with the help of his elemental spirit. So, Ajax spoke into the thin air as he called Master Ren. Nevertheless, Master Ren came out of the portal with an annoyed look on his face as he asked Ajax. "I need your help. So, I called you and in the future, when you need help, you can call me and I will help you." With a slight smile, Ajax replied to Master Ren, making Master Ren speechless. "Let it be." Master Ren shook his head as he continued, "Since I don''t like demons, I will help you this time; however, don''t ask my help in taking care of your enemies." "Brat, show me what you have learned all this time." At the same time, Master Ren ordered a young man beside him. He was none other than Elen, the ex-disciple of Master Red. After the death of Master Red, Ajax asked Master Ren to train Elen as he saw great potential in him. As expected, within a short time, Elen had already reached the mid-level king realm and looked powerful for his age. "Sure." With a huge smile on his face, Elen summoned his fire elemental spirits and joined the fight. Behind him, Master Ren also joined the fight. ''Sumo, why don''t youe and have some fun too.'' Only one of Master Ren''s elemental spirits has recoveredpletely and it was the sun and moon dual elemental spirit. So, he summoned it to take care of the demons as it would be faster. ''Yes, summoning master.'' It''s been a while for that elemental spirit to fight the demons. So, of course, it was happy and started massacring the demons. "Over¡­it''s over for us." "We will be defeated today." "Humans have so many powerful cultivators." "We can''t defeat them." All the demons started losing their morale which decreased their battle prowess as they got killed. "Huh? Why is Zanath here?" "Why is young Master Ren here?" At the same time, both Zanath and Master Ren were surprised to see each other in the Purple stone world. Chapter 1415 End of the Demon Invasion (1) Chapter 1415 End of the Demon Invasion (1)¡¡¡¡Zanath and Master Ren looked at each other for a moment before focusing on their fight. ''I wonder what he is doing here.'' They thought the same thing in their heads at the same time and decided to ask about it after the war ended. ¡­.. Soon, with the addition of the cultivators from the Five elemental world, the war becamepletely one-sided as demons werepletely suppressed and killed. Each one of Zanath''s ten followers was like monster, fighting more than dozen high-level demon kings each. The high-level king realm mountain lions fought one high-level demon king each except for their king Brutus, who was fighting more than five high-level demon kings. The three contracted re-cultivated spirit beasts from the Five elemental world were also fighting more than five high-level demon kings each. The three protectors, the kings and the heads of the various powerful sects and families were trying to contribute as much as possible. Westin waspletely a killing machine that was killing all the high-level demon kings that stood in his way. The five elemental spirit beast used its fifteen bestial souls as it killed the high-level demon kings as though they were just soldier realm cultivators. The mid-level demon kings were killed by the devourer eagle kings, the tribesmen brought by Raweth, Snow, Sparrow, Ghost, Calden and Deon. As for the low-level demon kings, the spirit beast kings from the cursed wilderness, Ajax''s spirit beasts and the contracted spirit beasts, the cultivators from the Purple stone world. Elder Boron had already killed the demon apostles and since the situation with the high-level demon kings was already in control, he rushed to Zanath to help him fight against the three second-order demon apostles. "Zanath, why do you have all the fun? Let me take care of one of these demon b*stards." Not only Elder Boron, even Master Ren and his elemental spirit joined Zanath to fight against the three second-order demon apostles. "Brother looks like this invasion is a failure." "Yes, brother. We need to escape from here." The two golden demon apostles looked at their big brother and suggested running away. "Idiots, do you think we can escape from them? They have already surrounded us. It''s either them or us. Let''s go all out." The oldest demon apostles became furious as he smacked the heads of his little brothers and asked them to fight. "But, they are¡­" "There are no buts. We need to kill at least one of them. Only then, we can escape from here." Before the younger demon apostles could finish their words, the oldest demon apostles interrupted them as he gave a target. "Among these three, this b*stard is only a high-level king realm cultivator. Let''s kill him and escape from here." Putting their finger at Master Ren, the oldest demon apostle suggested killing him. "What about Barellok? Shall we help him or just escape from here on our own?" One of the youngest demon apostles asked about Barellok. "Let''s think about him after escaping from here." The oldest demon apostles were angry as he shouted at them to kill Master Ren while he tried to stop Zanath and Elder Boron on his own. ''Looks like I have to escape from this world. Not only this world, but I also have to hide from the Golden demon emperor until I enter the inheritance grounds of the demon god.'' On the other hand, Barellok was also thinking of escaping from the Purple stone world and at the same time, he had to hide from the Golden demon emperor. Since he had failed the mission, the Golden demon emperor would kill him. So, for him, entering the inheritance grounds of the demon god to be a demon emperor himself was the only hope of surviving. "But¡­these clones. How can they be so powerful?" Barellok looked at the clones of Zanath''s cultivator''s souls and gritted his teeth in anger. .... "Since everything is under control, I can stop using my trump cards anymore." Looking at his surroundings, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he decided to stop using his trump cards. Even after using so many trump cards, Ajax still has a few more trump cards like ''Elegant walker''s summoning scroll, ''Emperor spirit beast pendant'', ''King grade puppet'' and the most important of one was his bloodline ''Abyssal beast god bloodline''. ''Since I will travel between worlds more and more in the future, they will be very useful.'' Ajax was proud to save some of his trump cards because the one who saves as many trump cards and wins the fight was the true winner. Even though he used a lot of trump cards in this war, Ajax was not worried much about it as he knew the rewards from stopping the invasion were worthwhile. ''Just bing the emperor of the Purple stone world was enough, not to mention, I can find the souls of my parents and help them in reconstructing their bodies.'' Since Ajax had a couple of normal worlds under him and he could also enter the virtual trading realm to trade for the things, he could gather many resources necessary for the reconstruction of the bodies. ''Anyway, I will just wait until the war ends and be the emperor of the Purple stone world.'' Ajax could not wait to find the souls of his parents as he looked forward to it. ''Also, another important thing I have to do is to take care of my favourite ''Assassin sect''.'' Ajax had never forgotten about the assassin sect and what it did to him and his parents. ''I will repay all the debts from the past in a single go. I hope you can receive them.'' While thinking about the assassin sect, Ajax looked at the sect leader Oliver of the assassin sect, who was barely killing any demon kings. ''Looks like Elder Boron was right about the assassin sect. They seem to have a good rtionship with the demons.'' Ajax raised his brows as he already decided the fate of the assassin sect. Chapter 1416 End of the Demon Invasion (2) Chapter 1416 End of the Demon Invasion (2)¡¡¡¡"Now, it is time to wrap up the war." Ajax was satisfied with how the war between the Demons was going on; however, it was not enough for him to get fully satisfied. So, he decided to fasten up the pace as he wanted to end the war soon. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Once he decided to speed things up, Ajax didn''t hesitate as he directly activated his strongest level 3 bloodline. ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' ''Aargh'' As soon as he activated the abyssal beast god bloodline, all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits felt the power increase in their bodies. They let out excited roars and shouts because of that feeling as they started killing the demons at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host activated the level 3 Abyssal beast god bloodline. ''Ding, The host and all his summons will experience the five times boost in their battle prowess for the next one hour. As usual, the system sent notifications informing him about the effects of the level 3 bloodline. ''I don''t even need an hour. I will be wrapping up this war in less than ten minutes.'' After replying to the system, Ajax finally decided to join the war. ''Shadow e out.'' ''Demonic form, activate.'' ''Inheritance sword, let''s have some fun.'' Ajax used all the skills and used the inheritance sword because everyone already knows about them. Once he boosted his battle prowess, Ajax didn''t bother to join the cannon fodder''s location; instead, he entered the location that was filled with demon kings as he started his massacre along with Westin. Both Ajax and Westin looked like killing machines, killing anyone that stood in their way. ''Since no one knows about heaven''s destroyer yet, I will not use it today.'' While killing the demon kings, Ajax thought about Heaven''s destroyer spear which had already be a legend grade weapon. If he used that weapon, killing a high-level demon in a single attack was not a problem for him. However, Ajax thought it was better to hide his trump cards as he still didn''t know how many sects and the families from the Purple stone world were in cahoots with the demon race. ''Anyway, there is no need for me to use all the trump cards anymore as the situation ispletely under control.'' Ajax shook his head as he stopped thinking about using his trump cards and focused on the massacre. ''Ding, The host''s summons has conquered a bronze demon world and are waiting for the host to retrieve the world core. ''Ding, Do you want to enter that bronze demon world and retrieve the world core? Just as Ajax got excited about the demon massacre, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, giving him a pleasant surprise. ''Didn''t they conquer a smaller world just a few days back? They already conquered another smaller demon world?'' Ajax was really surprised as he expected it would take a few more days for them to conquer a smaller demon world. ''But, I can''t leave now as I have to wrap up this war and take care of the things after the war.'' Once they sessfully defend themselves against the demon invasion, Ajax wouldplete the mission and as a reward, he would be the Emperor of the world. After that, he has to restructure the power levels between the three provinces and eliminate the assassin sect and so on. So, it would take some time for him to leave the Purple stone world. ''System, let them rest there for a day. I will go there once I settle all the things here.'' Since the things he had to take care of were much more important than one smaller world core, Ajax decided to let his exploration teams rest in that bronze demon world for a while. ''Westin, keep a close eye on the portal and get ready to massacre whoever wants to escape.'' After resuming his massacre, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to Westin. Right now, Westin could even take on a demon apostle in a one on one fight; however, he would not be able to kill in a few attacks. Nevertheless, Elder Boron, Master Ren and Zanath, who were taking care of the demon apostles, Ajax was not worried much about it. So, he asked Westin to focus only on the high-level demon kings; however, at the same time, he also asked him to keep an eye on the demon portal. ''Yes, master.'' Westin understood what Ajax was worried about. So, he nodded his head as he kept one of his eyes on the portal. .... ''It''s over. I have to escape now.'' On the other hand, Barellok was getting more and more anxious with the passage of each second. From time to time, he looked at the demon portal and checked the powerful cultivators who were near the portal. ''As long as I escape from here, I can open the portal to that world and search for the inheritance grounds.'' Barellok clenched his fists as he could not wait to enter the inheritance ground of the demon god. ''I have already prepared all the items to open the portal to that world. I just need a peaceful ce to open the portal.'' Barellok started clearing his thoughts as he thought about a n to escape from the Purple stone. ''Looks like I can fly away from here; however, I have to sacrifice my demonic soul.'' Barellok hesitated a little as he looked at his demonic soul that was fighting against Zanath''s cultivator''s soul. ''No¡­I have to be alive first. As long as I am alive, I can reconstruct the demonic soul once again.'' Once he thought that, Barellok didn''t hesitate anymore as he rushed towards the portal, abandoning his demonic soul. ''No one will expect I will be escaping now.'' Barellok was confident as he increased his speed to enter the portal. "Where do you think you are going?" However, just when he was a few meters away from the portal, he heard a voice beside his eyes as a ck coloured sword pierced through his heart. Chapter 1417 End of the demon invasion (3) Chapter 1417 End of the demon invasion (3)¡¡¡¡''What?'' Barellok didn''t expect that he would be killed just when he almost entered the portal. "Didn''t you act all high and mighty earlier? What happened now?" It was Westin who killed Barellok as he scoffed at him. "How did¡­" "Just die without knowing how I appeared here." Westin scoffed at Barellok as he received a dense special demonic energy from Barellok. ''I feel like my special demonic space is filled. Should I continue killing the demons or wait for some time?'' Seeing the dense special demonic energy inside his body, Westin hurriedly asked Ajax through voice transmission. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s special follower killed a mid-level demon emperor. ''Ding, 5000 units of the special demonic energy are gained by the host and his special followers. ''Ding, The special demonic spaces in both the host and Westin''s bodies arepletely full. Please spend some units of the special demonic energy. On the other hand, Ajax received a series of system notifications that gave him quite a shock. ''What? 5000 units of special demonic energy in a single go?'' Until now, the highest units of the special demonic energy he gained was 100 units and it was from the high-level demon king. However, now, he received 5000 units of the special demonic energy which was many times higher than 100 units. ''Since I am yet to be a king realm cultivator, it is better for Westin to receive the upgrade.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax ordered the system, ''Syste, upgrade Westin''s demonic form to level 3.'' ''Ding, Deducting the 10000 units of the special demonic energy. (5000 units from the host and another 5000 units from the special follower.) ''Ding, Upgrading the demonic form from level 2 to level 3. Please wait for one hour. Soon, Ajax received the system notifications, asking him to wait for an hour. ''What? An hour?'' Until now, it only required a few minutes and he was surprised to see such a drastic time increment. ''Westin, don''t bother fighting these demons anymore.'' Once he started the upgrade for Westin''s demonic form, he asked Westin to stop killing the demons because he would start feeling the pain all over his body soon. ''Yes, master.'' Even though Westin still wanted to kill the demons, he thought it was enough killing for a single day. ''Ding, Both the host and the special demonic follower didn''t have a single unit of the special demonic energy. ''Ding, Your demonic forms will be deactivated. You can''t activate the demonic form until you have at least 100 units of the special demonic energy. Just as he informed Westin toe back, Ajax received another two system notifications that made him shake his head. ''Sigh¡­there is nothing I can do about it right now.'' Ajax could only shake his head as his demonic form got deactivated. ''Anyway, once Westin''s demonic form gets upgraded, he will be even more powerful, and getting the special units of the demonic energy would be even easier.'' Even if the war ended, Ajax could always take Westin with him to the demon worlds to collect as much special demonic energy as he wanted. So, Ajax was not worried much about it as he stayed away from the demons while protecting Westin, who was groaning with pain. "Westin, you can endure it. As long as you endure it, you will gain the power to kill the emperor realm cultivators in a single sh." Even though Westin killed a mid-level demon emperor earlier, it was actually a sneak attack. That''s why Westin was able to kill him. Otherwise, Barellok would have easily dodged the attack and killed Westin because of the power gap between them. ''Anyway, even if we do nothing, the war will end.'' Looking at his surroundings, Ajax muttered to himself with a slight smile on his face. The boost from the abyssal beast god bloodline turned his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts into killing machines as they cleared the millions of the cannon fodder demons easily. ... Time continued to pass and in a sh 10 minutes passed by. During these 10 minutes, the cultivators from the Purple stone world hadpletely taken care of the demons. There were thousands of demons who nned to escape back into the portal; however, they were all killed. In the end, other than the three second-order golden demon apostles, no one from the demon side was alive. Even those three were barely alive with bodies full of injuries. Bloodied bodies of both humans and demons were lying on the ground. Most of those bodies belong to the demons because the demon army had more numberspared the human. ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' The spirit beasts started munching on the corpses of the demons and left the human corpses under the orders of their leaders. The cultivators from the Purple stone world found a clean ce to sit and tend to their wounds while feeling proud. Even though humans from their side died, it was still a victory against such arge-scale invasion. Just being a part of it would make them and their future generations proud. ''Looks like that brat is going to be the Emperor.'' ''Yeah. The Purple stone world will definitely change; however, I wonder whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing.'' ''Idiot. Why will it be a bad thing? Even though he is young, he is powerful and clever enough to protect the Purple stone world.'' ''No matter how righteous you are, it will only take a second to be evil.'' The cultivators started discussing about Ajax and the Purple stone world. "What are we waiting for? Let''s kill them." "Not yet." On the other hand, Master Ren wanted to kill the three second-order golden demon apostles and finish the war; however, he was stopped by Elder Boron. "Why?" Master Ren asked Elder Boron with a puzzled expression on his face. "Are you nning to torture them and gather some information?" At the same time, he asked Elder Boron whether he was nning to do something. "Ajax will put the end to their lives." Chapter 1418 Generous Rewards Chapter 1418 Generous Rewards¡¡¡¡"Ajax will put the end to their lives." Elder Boron calmly replied to Master Ren as he looked at Ajax who was walking toward them. "Huh? Is there any reason why he has to kill them?" Master Ren curiously asked Elder Boron. "Because he will be the Emperor of this Purple stone world." It was Zanath who answered Master Ren''s question. "What? Bing an emperor of a normal world with his current cultivation?" Master Ren looked at Ajax with a surprised look on his face. Even though he knew that Ajax was powerful enough to kill high-level king realm cultivators with his trump cards, he still felt it was hard to believe his words. "Just wait and see. You will know." Elder Boron didn''t exin much as he asked Master Ren to wait and see for himself. "..." Master Ren didn''t say anything as he nodded his head to see how Ajax was going to be the emperor of the Purple stone world. "Zanath, Master Ren, thanks for your help. Without you, it would have been difficult for us to defend against the demon invasion." Ajax left Westin in the care of his summons as he walked towards Elder Boron and others. The first thing he did after reaching them was to thank them. Even though Master Ren entered the battlefield veryte, he had helped a lot in taking care of the three second-order demon apostles. As for Zanath, without him, Ajax would have lost ''one use'' of his Emperor beast pendant. Overall, they were very helpful in defending the Purple stone world from the demon invasion. "Brat, aren''t you forgetting someone?" From the side, Elder Boron asked with a re in his eyes. "Of course not. Without Grandpa, the demons would have already invaded the Purple stone world." Ajax revealed a slight smile as he gave the full credit to Elder Boron. "You got the glib tongue just like your father." Elder Boron chuckled as he pointed at the three second-order demon apostles and said, "Why don''t you kill them and put an end to the invasion?" Since they were thest demons that were still alive in the Purple stone world, killing them would mean that the demonic invasion had sessfully ended. "Sure." Ajax nodded his head as he walked towards the three second-order demon apostles with his inheritance sword. ''I wonder what type of reward I will get for killing the mid-level emperor realm cultivators.'' While walking towards them, Ajax thought about the system reward for killing the emperor realm cultivator. Actually, it was Ajax who asked Elder Boron to leave the three second-order demon apostles barely alive because whenever he killed the first cultivator from a new cultivation realm, the system would reward him with good items. So, of course, he was curious about the rewards of killing them. "Please don''t kill us." "We will be your ves." "Please don''t¡­" Seeing Ajax walking towards them, the three second-order demon apostles started begging them. Moreover, they were even willing to be his ves. ''sh'' However, Ajax didn''t even think much as he directly shed the heads of the three second-order demon apostles with a single sh. Even though they were emperor realm cultivators, they were injured to the point where they were barely alive and at the same time, the inheritance sword got upgraded after merging with the second inheritance sword. So, there were no problems for Ajax in beheading the three demon apostles. ''Ding, The host killed three mid-level demon emperors in a single sh. ''Ding, The host received a million spirit points x 3. ''Ding, The host received a million beast points x 3. ''Ding, It is the host''s first time killing the emperor realm cultivators. The host is rewarded with a Great world core and a new system feature ''Spirit beast store''. ''Ding, The hostpleted the mission ''Defend the Purple stone world''. ''Ding, The rewards will be given out soon. Please wait for some time. As soon as he killed the three second-order demon apostles, Ajax received a series of system notifications. With each system notification, the smile on Ajax''s face became wider and wider as he waspletely satisfied with the system rewards. Moreover, the main rewards forpleting the mission were yet to be given to him. ''Three million spirit points and three million beast points.'' ''I think I can use the beast points to buy the things from the newly unlocked system feature ''Spirit beast store''.'' Ajax didn''t have to check the information on the new points and the new system feature because he could already guess what he could do with them. Since he could use the spirit points to buy things from the elemental spirit store that could help his elemental spirits, Ajax could rte that the function of the beast points was to buy the things for his contracted spirit beasts. ''Looks like my contracted spirit beasts will be very happy when I buy things for them from the Spirit beast store.'' In the past, when he bought things for the elemental spirits from the elemental spirit store, the contracted spirit beasts would always feel jealous. However, now, Ajax could provide the things to both his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts equally. ''Also, I received a Greater world core¡­A Greater world core.'' Among the rewards he received right now, Ajax was more excited about the Greater world core. Because he needed to merge 100 smaller world cores to create a single Greater world core. Even with the help of his devourer eagle kings, it would take at least 8-9 months. ''However, I think I should just keep this Greater world core for now and use it when I n to break through to the King realm.'' Since Ajax was using the normal world core to breakthrough in his cultivation, he decided to continue using the same method and decided to use the Greater world core forter. ''Since I already have one normal world core, I just need two more normal world cores to reach the level 10 elite general realm before using the Greater world core to break through into the King realm.'' Ajax felt it would not take much time for him to be the King realm cultivator. ''Ajax, did you get the confirmation about your ascension to the Emperor of the Purple stone world?'' As Ajax was staring into the thin air, Elder Boron silently transmitted his voice to Ajax asking about the rewards from the system. ''Not yet.'' Ajax shook his head as he came out of his thoughts. "Grandpa, looks like we need to wait for some time before announcing about me bing the emperor of the Purple stone world." Since the system asked him to wait, Ajax could only wait because if the system didn''t help him out, it would be very hard for him to be the Emperor of the Purple stone. ''Even with the thought system, I can forcefully be the Emperor of the Purple stone; however, I will not get their loyalty.'' Right now, Ajax had the support of Elder Boron, Zanath, Master Ren, tribes from the Five elemental world, the spirit beasts from the cursed wilderness, his elemental spirits, and the contracted spirit beast. If he used all of them, who would dare to stop him from bing the emperor of the Purple stone world? However, Ajax didn''t have a single interest in doing such things because the thing he was truly after was the recognition of the spirit of the Purple stone world. As long as he gains the recognition of the spirit fairy, he would be a peak emperor realm cultivator inside the Purple stone world just like in his normal dwarf world. "Okay." Elder Boron nodded his head as he also felt waiting for a few minutes was nothing. ''Ding, The rewards of the mission ''Defend the Purple stone world'' are out. ''Ding, The spirit fairy of the Purple stone world is awakened and the host has already received the recognition of the spirit fairy when he was born. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. ''Ding, The benefits of bing the Emperor of the Purple tone world are the same as ''Protector of the dwarf world''. ''Ding, The host''s clearance rating of the mission was good and will be rewarded with another Greater world. ''Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check it. Just as they waited for a few minutes, Ajax received another series of notifications from the system informing him about his rewards, and at the same time, a new mission was announced. ''A new mission already?'' Ajax was not at all surprised by the new mission because Ajax knew that the real journey would start from now on. ''Let''s check the mission.'' ''Swoosh'' When Ajax was about to check the details of the newly generated mission, a small purple fairy appeared in front of him out of thin air. The fairy was less than 20 centimeters, wearing a purple gown, and had two purple-colored butterfly wings behind her. Another thing that caught Ajax''s attention was the purple halo around her, making her look like an otherworldly being. ''Spirit fairy?'' Without any introductions, Ajax could guess that she was the spirit fairy of the Purple stone world. Moreover, he felt there was some connection between him and the spirit fairy. "You have grown up a lot since I havest seen you, Ajax." In the next second, Ajax heard a melodious voice as the spirit fairy asked with a question mark on her face, "How many years passed since then? 15 years?" Chapter 1419 Supreme Grade Spirit Stone Chapter 1419 Supreme Grade Spirit Stone¡¡¡¡"How many years have passed since then? 15 years?" The little fairy looked excited to see him as she flew around him. "Wait¡­you know me?" Ajax was surprised to hear the little fairy''s words as he asked her. "Yes. I woke up from my slumber when you were born and I am waking up now." The spirit of the Purple stone world replied to Ajax as she continued to observe. "Brat, didn''t I already tell you that you were blessed by the world spirit the moment you were born?" From the side, Elder Boron reminds Ajax about it. "I thought you were just joking when you said that." When he heard about the things that happened when he was born, Ajax felt Elder Boron was exaggerating the things. However, he didn''t expect them to be true. "That''s right! When you were born, the heavens blessed the Purple stone world and released pure lightning energy into the world. Because of that pure energy, I woke up ahead of time and then I blessed you with an ability to sense all the elements in nature." Soon, the world spiritnded on Ajax''s shoulder as she backed Elder Boron''s words. "So, you are the reason behind why I can sense all the elements in nature." Finally, Ajax understood why he was special when ites to sensing and absorbing the energies present in the world. It was a general knowledge that the world spirits were known for their ability to sense the energies in nature. However, what surprised Ajax was that the world spirits had the ability to bless their unique ability to others. "No. Not everyone can receive the blessing of the world spirit. Only heaven''s chosen can receive it." The world spirit replied with a slight smile on her face. "Heaven''s chosen?" Ajax was once again surprised with those words. "Yes. Your parents went to great lengths to make you a heaven''s chosen. So, you better don''t ck in your cultivation and be a powerful Emperor realm cultivator." Elder Boron didn''t exin what his parents did exactly; instead, he only mentioned they went to great lengths for his sake. ''...'' Ajax became speechless at Elder Boron''s words and muttered, ''Why don''t you just tell me what they have to do to make me the heaven''s chosen.'' "Since I am heaven''s chosen, can I get your recognition to be the Emperor of the Purple stone world?" Since Elder Boron didn''t intend to tell him anything about it, Ajax could only focus on the main thing as he asked the world spirit about bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. "Hehe¡­you have gained my recognition the moment you were born." Hearing Ajax''s words, the world spirit could not help butugh as she started flying around him again. "Huh? Then, how can I control the Purple stone world? I am unable to feel anything at all." When Ajax was in the normal dwarf world, he would feel invincible and no one could do anything to him. However, he could not feel the same in the Purple stone world. Right now, Ajax wanted that power to protect the Purple stone world because the demon emperors would start sending more and more demon armies. Unless he bes the emperor of the Purple stone world, Ajax needs to spend more energy in stopping them. ''Ding, The host needs to enter the core realm of the Purple stone world and drop his blood on the world core. "You just have to enter the core realm and drop your blood on the world core." The system and the world spirit exined what Ajax had to do to be the Emperor of the Purple stone world at the same time. ''What the hell? So, I have been wasting my time until now by venturing to other worlds when I could directly be the emperor of the Purple stone world?'' Ajax bitterly smiled when he heard the world spirit''s words. Since he had already gained the recognition from the world spirit when he was born, all Ajax needed to do was enter the core realm and drop his blood on the world core. In the next moment, he would be the Emperor of the world without any problem. ''Sigh¡­I have already wasted so much time. If I had known about it, I would have easily stopped the demon invasion on my own.'' If he had the battle prowess of the Emperor realm cultivator, it would have been easy for Ajax to kill the entire demon army; however, the system intentionally didn''t tell him until now. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want to think much about the past as he could do nothing about it. ''Enter.'' In the next second, Ajax''s body copsed to the ground as his spirit consciousness entered the core realm of the Purple stone world. ''It''s much different than any other core realms I have seen.'' It was not Ajax''s first time entering the core realm of a world; however, he was surprised to see that the core realm of the Purple stone world waspletely different from the other world''s core realms. The surroundings of the core realm waspletely purple in colour and there were some shining crystals floating around in the air. ''Aren''t they spirit stones?'' With a look, Ajax could tell what those stones were; however, they were much bigger and much purer than any spirit stones he had seen in the past. ''Ding, Item name:- Spirit stone. Item grade:- Supreme grade. Description:- A spirit stone that is even rare in the Greater worlds and it will even make the Emperor realm cultivators crazy. ''What? They are Supreme grade spirit stones?'' Ajax was casually checking the information of the spirit stone; however, he didn''t expect it to trun out to be a supreme grade spirit stone. The spirit stones were ssified into different grades depending on the purity of the essence of nature stored inside it. They were low, mid, high and supreme grades. In an average normal world, finding the high-grade spirit stones was not a problem; however, the Purple stone world was just a low-level normal world. In the Purple stone world, finding a high-grade spirit stone was already rare, not to mention a supreme grade spirit stone which was even rare in the Greater worlds. ''How did the core realm of this Purple stone world have so many supreme grade spirit stones?'' Ajax thought about the supreme grade spirit stones as he counted them, ''Ten. Holy heavens, a total of 10 supreme grade spirit stones.'' ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax was wondering about the origins of the supreme grade spirit stones, the world spirit fairy appeared beside him. "Are you wondering about these supreme grade spirit stones?" With a look, she could guess what Ajax was thinking in his head as she asked him. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head. "It''s all thanks to your father." "What? My father?" Ajax was shocked with the world spirit''s reply as he asked about it. "That''s right! Even before I woke up, your father entered this core realm and put these surpeme grade spirit stones to help the Purple stone world attract the heavens." "It could be considered as one of the reasons why you became heaven''s chosen. Without these supreme grade spirit stones, the heavens might have not bothered about this Purple stone world." Soon, the world spirit exined what his father had done to the Purple stone world. "After your parents were betrayed by the four guardians, your father didn''t have enough time to focus on the barrier of the Purple stone world." "Without the barrier, the otherworld emperor realm experts were able to enter the Purple stone world and kill your parents; however, before dying, he used some technique to send the artifact he gained from the inheritance ground to some faraway ce." The world spirit exined the same things as the Elder Boron; however, they were much clearer than Elder Boron''s words. "After the death of your father, I lost the connection with him and I partially received his injuries making me fall into the slumber. However, a few moments ago, I received a huge amount of energy out of nowhere that woke me up." The world spirit exined everything from the beginning to the ending as per her knowledge. "My father? Who is he exactly? What type of cultivator was he?" After learning about his parents, Ajax thought they were righteous cultivators who worked very hard to be the emperor realm cultivators. However, after learning about his father from the world spirit, he felt his father was definitely not from this world. ''Is he from a Greater world? No, even the greater worlds don''t produce so many supreme grade spirit stones.'' Thinking about all the things his father had done and achieved, Ajax felt more and more curious to meet him. ''I can find him as long as I gain the power of the Emperor realm.'' Even though he was not 100 percent sure about finding his parents'' soul in the Purple stone world, he didn''t mind giving it a try. Before that, he had to gain the title of the ''Emperor'' from the system. ''I will be the emperor of the Purple stone world as long as I drop my blood on the world core, right?'' With an excited look on his face, Ajax flew towards the center of the core realm where purple coloured stones were hovering in the mid-air. ''It''s time to be the emperor¡­wait a second, I don''t bleed in my spirit consciousness form, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax encountered a problem as he didn''t know how get a drop of his blood into the core realm. Chapter 1420 Becoming the Emperor Chapter 1420 Bing the Emperor¡¡¡¡"If you concentrate, you can bleed even if you are in your spirit consciousness form." As Ajax was wondering about how to bring his blood into the core realm, the world spirit flew around him and gave a little tip. "Concentrate?" Ajax raised his brows as he didn''t understand how a little concentration makes him bleed. Nevertheless, other than trying it out, Ajax didn''t have any other methods. So, he made a small cut on his palm and focused on it. ''It is not working.'' He concentrated for a minute; however, not a single drop of blood came out of his injury. ''Looks like I need to find another way.'' Ajax was sure that there might be a way; otherwise, why would the system say that he had to drop the blood to be the Emperor of the world. ''Drip'' Just when Ajax was about to give up and look for another method, a single drop of blood fell onto the purple coloured world core. ''Woah¡­I bleed a single drop of blood.'' Ajax was both surprised and excited at the same time. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the hovering world core shone with a bright light, blinding Ajax for a few moments. "Master." By the time the blinding light disappeared, the world spirit hovered in front of him and respectfully greeted him. "Master?" Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he knew that he had finally be the Emperor of the Purple stone world. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. ''Ding, The host unlocked a new title ''Emperor''. Please check it. At the same time, Ajax received two system notifications, which he was waiting for a while now. ''Check'' Without wasting any time, he checked the benefits of the title. ''Ding, Title name:- Emperor. Effects:- 1) Nothing escapes the emperor''s eyes in the world. 2) Will have the peak emperor realm cultivator''s battle prowess. 3) Can create an Emperor grade barrier around the world or inside the world between the provinces. Note:- All these effects will be applicable only when the host is inside the Purple stone world. Special effect:- Emperor''s aura. (Passive) Description:- The host will not be affected by the pressure released by the Emperor realm cultivators and below realm cultivators. Note:- Applicable even when outside the Purple stone world. Soon, a holographic screen filled with theplete details regarding his new title appeared. ''It even has a special effect.'' Ajax was not surprised by the three effects because he was expecting that much. However, he didn''t expect a special effect that could be useful even when he was outside the Purple stone world. ''Overall, it is simr to my Protector title but has a special effect.'' Ajax nodded his head as he came out of his thoughts. "What is your name?" Ajax asked the name of the world spirit. "When I woke up from my slumber, my previous master, who was your father, used to call me Purple. Master can call me the same." The world spirit replied with a beautiful smile on her face. "Okay. I will call you Purple from now on." Ajax nodded his head. "The previous emperor of the Purple stone world left some words for the next emperor. I guess he already knew you would seed in his ce." In the next second, Purple started saying the words left behind by Ajax''s father for the next emperor of the Purple stone world. "He said, ''Upgrade the Purple stone world into a Greater world as soon as possible.''" Purple spoke the same words as the previous emperor with a serious look on her little face. ''Huh? That''s it?'' Ajax was expecting something else; however, there was only a single line, making Ajax bitterly shake his head. ''I will do that even if he didn''t ask me.'' Ajax''s next n was to turn the Purple stone world into a Greater world where others should be scared to invade it. ''Anyway, I will search for the Emperor realm cultivator''s souls in the Purple stone world.'' He didn''t forget his main objective which was to search for the souls of his parents. So, he closed his eyes and used the first effect of his ''Emperor'' title. ''Huh? I can sense four emperor realm cultivators'' souls.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to sense the locations of the four souls; however, he didn''t feel a connection with any of the souls. ''Wait a second¡­are they¡­'' Suddenly, Ajax remembered the four guardians of the Purple stone world who betrayed his father and the Purple stone world for an artifact. ''Two of them have already possessed someone.'' As the Emperor of the Purple stone world, there was nothing that Ajax could not see. ''That b*stard who tried to kill Snowstorm and others is a host for one of the guardian''s souls.'' ''Also, the other host is King Stephen.'' Even though Ajax was unable to tell who was hiding inside Cain and Stephen, he was sure that they were hosting one guardian''s soul each. ''Sigh¡­they are not in this world.'' After searching for his parents'' souls for some more time, Ajax sighed as he concluded that they were not in the Purple stone world. ''I guess father must have prepared something in case of life and death.'' After learning one thing after another about his father, Ajax knew that his father was not only a cultivation genius but an intelligent cultivator too. So, of course, Ajax guessed that his father must have made some necessary preparations for their souls. Aftering to that conclusion, Ajax checked the other two souls that didn''t possess anyone. ''As for the other two, they are truly unlucky to get stuck in some nameless inheritance grounds.'' Ajax shook his head as he disappeared from the core realm with a single thought. ¡­. "Ajax." "Young master." Seeing that Ajax woke up from his sleep, Elder Boron and Zanath called him with a face full of worry. "I am alright." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax flew into the air and the smile on his face disappeared as announced in a loud and clear voice. "My name is Ajax and the son of the previous Emperor of the Purple stone world, Vaugh Spiriteye." ''What?'' ''He is the son of the previous emperor?'' ''Really?'' ''Is he the one that shook the entire Purple stone world when he was born?'' ''Looks like it.'' ''No wonder, he is so powerful despite being a level 7 elite general realm cultivator.'' ''Also, don''t forget about his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental summons.'' ''What about the spirit beast armies from the Cursed wilderness and the humanoid spirit beasts from other worlds?'' Hearing Ajax''s words, the cultivators who were resting looked surprised and started discussing it. "Everyone, stay quiet." All of a sudden, a huge force came out of Ajax that made everyone instantly silent. ''When did he have such scary cultivation pressure?'' This was the thought in all the cultivators of the Purple stone world; however, no one dared to say it out loud. "You all need to know about the truth of what happened 15 years back." Soon, Ajax started saying everything from the betrayal of the guardians to the death of his parents. ''What?'' ''The guardians betrayed the Emperor and the Purple stone world for an artifact?'' After learning about the truth, all the cultivators became furious regarding the actions of the guardians "I gained the acknowledgement of the world spirit when I was born and after undergoing many trials and tribtions during these 15 years, I am able to seed my father''s position." Soon, he announced about bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world. ''...'' Even though many felt a little ufortable hearing those words, no one said anything because they knew they were not powerful enough to oppose him. Who would want a 16-year-old kid to be the Emperor of their world? "I know many are ufortable about it; however, you will soon notice how I will be changing the Purple stone world." Ajax could sense what most of the cultivators were thinking in their heads. So, he asked them to wait and see for themselves regarding his management of the Purple stone world. "Before that, I need to punish the traitors, right?" Soon, Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he casually waved his hand. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' King Stephen and Cain started flying out of the crowd as Ajax guided them towards him. "What are you doing?" "Are you trying to kill us just because of some little arguments in the past?" Both Cain and King Stephen started shouting out loud, thinking that Ajax wanted to take revenge on them for their past actions. In the past, King Stephen colluded with the members of the ''House of dragons'' to kill him whereas Cain tried to kill him and his friends during the contest. So, they thought Ajax was trying to take revenge for those things. "Don''t worry. I am going to settle for themter. Right now, there is something else to settle first." Ajax shook his head as he spoke, "Are you going toe out of these bodies or should I forcefully pull you out?" ''Not good. He found out.'' The souls of ''Lord of water'' and ''Patriarch of Nightmares'' anxiously informed their hosts. "Fine. I will choose the second option then." "No. I am out. Please don''t destroy our souls." Just as Ajax finished his words, the two souls came out of Stephen and Cain''s bodies and begged Ajax to let them live. ¡­.. Chapter 1421 No Mercy Chapter 1421 No Mercy¡¡¡¡''Swoosh'' Soon, ck smoke and Golden mist came out of Cain and King Stephen''s bodies respectively. "Please forgive us, young master Ajax." "We were blinded by greed and betrayed your father." Since the guardians didn''t recover their bodies, they could only take the appearance of the ck smoke and Golden mist. The ck smoke was none other than the ''Patriarch of Nightmares'', also known as ''Ancestor''. As for the golden mist, it was the ''Lord of the water'' who was greedy to the core. "Give me one good reason for me to let you live in this world." Ajax was calm as he asked them to give a reason. "..." However, both the guardians didn''t say anything because they were unable to find a good reason. They wanted to tell that they protected the Purple stone world; however, sensing the furious gaze from Elder Boron, they didn''t dare to make that im. Back then, the Purple stone world was mainly protected by Elder Boron, the protector of the skies and the Emperor of the Purple stone world, also known as Administrator of Justice. Because of the previous emperor, they were unable to use their power to suppress the other cultivators of the Purple stone world. After Vaguh became the Emperor, the four guardians didn''t get any gifts or other items from the residents of the Purple stone world. Overall, they lost their freedom because of him and waited for a perfect opportunity. Finally, they got the opportunity; however, what they didn''t expect was Vaugh''s wife was also an Emperor realm cultivator. In the end, their bodies were destroyed and reduced to souls. "What happened? You can''t find a single reason?" Ajax scoffed at them and without waiting for their reply, he casually waved his hand. ''Screech'' Alder, the king of the devourer eagle king flew towards them andnded beside Ajax. "Devour." "Yes, master." With an order from Ajax, the devourer eagle king opened its mouth and sucked the golden mist. "Young master Ajax, please stop¡­I¡­pleaseee¡­" The lord of the water cried for help; however, Ajax didn''t show mercy and let Alder devour his soulpletely. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast devoured an injured Emperor realm soul. ''Ding, The contracted spirit beast''s bestial souls will be increased by three levels each. ''The souls can be used like this?'' Ajax was surprised by the sudden system notifications in his head. ''Looks like I need to keep an eye on the souls in the future.'' He decided to keep note of it and learn more about it in the future. "Please, don''t kill me." Seeing that the ''Lord of the water'' was devoured just like that, the Ancestor got scared as he started begging Ajax. Even though it was so not like him, he could not afford to die yet. So, even if begging could give him a chance to live, of course, he was willing to beg. "How many people must have begged you like this?" "Have you ever shown them any mercy?" "Also, your assassin sect, there is no count of how many they killed and how many they tortured." Ajax became furious with each sentence and wanted to torture the Ancestor. "Just like you is making me furious. Just be nutritious food for my contracted spirit beast." However, Ajax didn''t want to torture Ancestor which makes him no different from him. "Alder, devour." Without wasting his breath, Ajax ordered the devourer eagle king to take care of the soul. "Wait¡­please¡­don''t do¡­B*stard, let me go." ''Swoosh'' No matter how many ancestors begged, Ajax didn''t show mercy. ''Sigh¡­in the end, I am just like him, showing no mercy; however, he deserved to die.'' Ajax sighed and at the same time, he was convinced that cultivators like Ancestors have to die. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast devoured an injured Emperor realm soul. ''Ding, The contracted spirit beast''s bestial souls will be increased by three levels each. Once again, the three bestial souls of Alder increased by three levels, making Alder excited. "Master, except for my newly awakened Bestial souls, the remaining two souls have already reached level 10. So, in the future, if there are any souls, let others have them." Even though the devour eagles were known for being greedy, Alder started changing after forming a contract with Ajax. Because he was sure that as long as he stopped being greedy, Ajax would let him have more good things in the future. "Sure." Ajax nodded his head and praised Alder, "Looks like you are thinking about the other devour eagles too." ''I wonder, whether the other contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirit could also absorb the souls?'' At the same time, Ajax thought about the other contracted spirit beasts. The other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits didn''t have the ability to devour. So, he thought the chances were low but still asked the system about it. ''Ding, No. The elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts with a ''Devour'' skill can only absorb the souls to increase the levels of their souls. ''As I expected; otherwise, everyone would continuously hunt the other emperors and absorb their souls to increase the level of their souls.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he nodded his head. "Grandpa, can you take care of the Assassin sect? I don''t want a single one of them to be alive." Until today, Ajax was excited about his revenge against the assassin sect; however, after bing the Emperor of the Purple stone world, he didn''t feel thirsty for revenge. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he was going to let the assassin sect go; instead, he asked Elder Boron to take care of it. "Yes, Emperor." Even though Ajax was his grandson, he was also the emperor of the Purple stone world. So, he showed Ajax the respect and nodded his head. "By the way, if anyone thinks that I am doing wrong, they can say it out loud." At the same time, Ajax''s loud voice resounded in the entire Purple stone world. Whether it was because they really wanted the assassin sect to disappear or it was because they were scared to speak against Ajax, no one knows. For whatever reason, no one took the assassin sect''s side. "Emperor, the assassin sect might have done some misdeeds in the past; however, we are willing to change." "Previously, I was just following the orders of my ancestors. Unlike my father, I never betrayed the Purple stone world." The sect leader of the Assassin sect, Oliver kneeled in front of Ajax as he begged Ajax. Even though he ordered the subsidiary sects to hunt Ajax, Oliver was just following the orders of the ''Ancestor''. "I know you are just following the orders." Ajax nodded his head as he agreed with Oliver''s words. "Thank you, Emperor. I will follow your orders in the future." Oliver became excited as he hurriedly thanked Ajax. "Elder Boron, why are you not following your orders?" Ajax said to Elder Boron in a serious tone as he asked, "By the time Ie back, I don''t want to see a single one from the Assassin sect." ''What?'' When he heard those words, Oliver''s face turned pale and lost all hope in living. "Yes, Emperor." Elder Boron nodded his head as he looked at Oliver with a slight smile on his face. "Do you think the assassin sect will not fight back?" Soon, Oliver returned to his senses as he furiously shouted. "By the way, I already destroyed the formations and all the assassin god statues in your sect. So, even if you fight back, there is nothing you can do now." Ajax said those words to Oliver before calling, "Cale and Cade, follow me." Soon, Ajax left with the two devourer eagle kings while leaving the assassin sect to Elder Boron. Without the assassin god statues, the assassin sect was nothing. Even a single protector could take care of the entire sect, not to mention Elder Boron, who was a guardian. ''What?'' After hearing Ajax''s words, Oliver once again lost all hope. "Looks like the assassin sect is over." "I already knew they would meet their end one day; however, I didn''t expect it woulde this early." ''From now on, we could sleep without getting worried about the secret assassinations forms the assassin sect.'' Almost all the cultivators were happy with the elimination of the assassin sect. However, there were a few cultivators who had close ties with the assassin sect, they were getting anxious because if Ajax found out about their misdeeds, they would also get erased just like the assassin sect. ..... ''I thought I could be the Emperor of this world; however, I¡­'' Oliver was unable to finish hisst thoughts as he got killed by Elder Boron. After killing Oliver, Elder Boron started hunting down the members of the Assassin sect. .... On the other hand, Ajax flew to a deserted forest with two devourer eagle kings. ''Cale, devour it.'' ''Ding, The host''s loyal spirit beast devoured an injured Emperor realm soul. ''Ding, The spirit beast''s bestial souls will be increased by three levels each. After destroying the soul of the third guardian, Ajax flew to the next location where the soul of the fourth guardian was trapped. After he became the emperor, the system made the 10 devourer eagle kings into loyal spirit beasts and just like the contracted spirit beasts, they get almost all the benefits from Ajax. "It is your turn, Cale." ''Ding, The host''s loyal spirit beast devoured an injured Emperor realm soul. ''Ding, The spirit beast''s bestial souls will be increased by three levels each. ''''Swoosh''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the two missions at the same time. Please wait while the system adjusts the rewards. ''Huh? What? Ipleted two missions?'' Chapter 1422 Soul Nourishment Seed Chapter 1422 Soul Nourishment Seed¡¡¡¡''Huh? What? Ipleted two missions?'' Ajax was surprised by the sudden system notifications in his head. ''What missions did Iplete without knowing myself?'' Ajax was curious about the two missions hepleted without even knowing what they were. Without any hesitation, Ajax opened the system notification to check the two missions and the rewards he would be getting forpleting them. ''Ding, The hostpleted his revenge on the assassin sect through Elder Boron. ''Ding, Mission name:- Revenge on behalf of the ''Silver Orphanage''. Clearance rating:- A+ Mission rewards:- Calcting¡­ ''Ding, The hostpleted his revenge on the four guardians for betraying his parents by destroying their souls. Clearance rating:- A+ Mission rewards:- Calcting¡­ Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of him, informing him about the two missions hepleted without his knowledge. ''Wait a second¡­it is one of the starting missions I received from the system.'' Among the two missions, Ajax remembered the first mission because it was one of the starting missions that the system, had generated. At the time, he was filled with rage against the assassin sect for killing all the children in the Silver Orphanage. Since the missions were generated because of his emotions and the events around him, the system issued a mission to seek revenge against the assassin sect with an unlimited duration. ''At that time, I was yet to start my cultivation journey. So, Ipletely focused on bing stronger.'' Even though Ajax forgot about the mission, he didn''t forget about the revenge. ''My clearance rating is so high.'' ''Is it because I ordered Elder Boron to erase the assassin sect or is there something I am missing?'' Ajax didn''t understand how he got such a high clearance rating when it was not him who erased the assassin sect. ''Nevermind. I didn''t erase the assassin sect for the rewards anyway.'' Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the first mission and checked out the second mission. "When did the system generate this mission?" Unlike the first mission, Ajax didn''t have any idea about the second mission. ''Wait a second¡­I remember now.'' Earlier, when he killed the three second-order demon apostles, Ajax received the system notifications informing him about thepletion of the mission ''Defend the Purple stone world''. At the same time, a new system mission was generated; however, before he could check the mission, the world spirit ''Purple'' appeared in front of him, diverting his attention. ''Anyway, all that matters right now is Ipleted the mission and I will get the rewards.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and waited for the system to calcte the rewards for the two missions. ''I hope I can get something like a battleship that could travel between worlds.'' Even though Ajax didn''t have problems teleporting to new worlds, he could not go to the Greater worlds using the devourer eagle king''s ''Portal creation'' ability. Moreover, he had to collect the world cores and had to wait for 15 days after the devourer eagle kings used that ability. ''Ding, The rewards for the two missions are calcted. ''Ding, Rewards for the mission ''Revenge against assassin sect'' are:- 1) A small world core. 2) 100 units of sacred energy. 3) Third fragment of inheritance sword. ''Ding, Rewards for the mission ''Revenge against the guardians'' are:- 1) A normal world core. 2) Soul nourishment seed. 3) System upgrade. Soon, the rewards for the two missions were shown to Ajax separately, making him extremely excited about the reward. ''I am in need of all the rewards.'' There was not a single item in the two lists that disappointed him. He needed world cores to increase his cultivation, upgrading the world cores of his worlds. Among all the energies, he wascking the sacred energy. As long as he had enough sacred energy, he could increase his ''Sacred Astral Healer'' rank. His inheritance sword iscking the third fragment and as long as he merges it, the sword''s grade might upgrade again and reach Mythical grade. ''Every time the system upgraded, it surprised me either with some features or good rewards.'' Ajax didn''t have any doubts regarding the system upgrade as his eyesnded on ''Soul nourishment seed.'' Even though it was his first time seeing that item, Ajax could tell that he would be needing it when he found his parents'' souls. ''However, let''s see how powerful its effects are.'' From the name, he could get a rough idea of the item; however, he wanted to be sure to make full use of the item. ''Ding, Item name:- Soul nourishment seed. Grade:- Legend grade. Use:- 1) If a soul consumes it, the soul''s time to construct a body will be decreased by half. 2) By sowing it in a rich energy-fillednd, it will grow into a ''Soul nourishing tree'' that nourishes the soul just by resting under it. Note:- Soul nourishing tree is a Mythical grade item. ''What? It can grow into a Mythical grade item?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the note on the item. For an emperor realm cultivator, a mythical grade item could make them go crazy. So, it was not surprising for Ajax to be shocked to see that. ''This soul nourishment seed will not be enough for both my parents'' souls. I guess it is better to turn it into a tree before I find their souls.'' Ajax didn''t think much as he already knew what he had to do. ''When it bes a soul-nourishing tree, I can let my parents'' soul rest under it and they can easily construct their bodies easily.'' Ajax became excited when he thought about having his parents rest under the soul nourishment. ''But the problem is where should I sow it?'' Soon, Ajax had a problem selecting the ce. Even though the inner world is the best ce he could sow it, he could not do it because his parents'' souls can''t enter his inner world. ''Ding, After the next system upgrade, the host can bring a limited number of souls and the cultivators in their spirit consciousness forms into the Inner World. ''What? Really?'' Ajax was excited when he saw the sudden system notification and stopped worrying about the ce to sow the seed. ''Since I can bring the souls into the inner world, why would I waste my time searching for another ce.'' The reason why Ajax was excited was that the inner world had the purest essence of nature since it had so many elemental paradises with grade 3. Moreover, another reason was he didn''t have to worry about the security as no one could enter his inner world yet and even if they want to enter, they have to take his permission. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, he entered his inner world and found a good spot to sow the seed. ''I hope it grows quickly.'' Ajax thought about it for a moment and asked the system, ''System, is there a way to quickly grow this seed into a tree?'' His n was to turn the seed into a tree as soon as possible before he didn''t know when he was going to find his parents'' souls. The bigger the tree grows, the better it is for the soul. So, he wanted to go all out in nurturing the ''Soul nourishment seed''. ''Previous, I used the Sacred Energy to fasten the growth of the ''Tree of blessing''. So, there might be something simr to that.'' Ajax didn''t dare to directly give the sacred energy to the soul nourishment seed because he felt it might not work. ''Ding, Unlike the ''Tree of blessing'', the ''Soul nourishment tree'' requires Astral Energy. ''What?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised; however, when he thought about it, he was no longer surprised. ''Astral energy is rted to souls. So, of course, it will be nutritious energy for the Soul nourishment tree.'' Ajax was d that the ''Soul nourishment tree'' requires Astral Energy instead of the Sacred Energy. Because, unlike Sacred Energy, Ajax had two sources for collecting Astral Energy. One, the astral branch on the ''Tree of blessing'', regenerates 5-10 units of Astral Energy daily. Two, he could just enter the cursed abyss and refined the cursed energy into Astral Energy. ''Looks like I need to take a trip to the cursed wilderness and fill my Astral Energy space.'' Ajax didn''t rush to the cursed abyss as he still had some units of Astral Energy left in his body. ''Let''s use 100 units of Astral Energy first.'' With a thought, Ajax transferred 100 units of the Astral Energy into the ground. ''Ding, The soul nourishment seed absorbed 100 units of Astral Energy. ''Good.'' Ajax was satisfied with the system''s information as he sent the remaining units of Astral Energy in his body which was around 300 plus. Even though Ajax didn''t see any growth in the seed, he was already expecting it. ''But,pared to Sacred Energy, Astral Energy is not rare at all.'' If he had to supply Sacred Energy, Ajax would have called the seed a glutton; however, he was not worried for Astral Energy. ''Ding, The soul nourishment seed absorbed 358 units of Astral Energy. Please provide more units of Astral Energy for the seed to see budding. ''Huh? No budding yet?'' Ajax was not expecting to see the Soul nourishment tree already; however, he was hoping the seed would grow a little. ''I wonder if I can find even a faster way to grow it.'' ''Ding, Additional tip:- If the host can find the nt essence, the growth will be even faster. Just as Ajax thought in his head, the system replied to him. ''nt essence?'' Chapter 1423 Enraged Demon God Chapter 1423 Enraged Demon God¡¡¡¡''nt essence?'' Ajax raised his brows as he asked, "Where should I find it?" For him, the ''Soul nourishment tree'' was important and he would go to any lengths to nurture it. ''Ding, nt essence is the purest form of energy stored by the trees that were at least a thousand years old. ''Ding, The older the tree is, the purer the nt essence will be and the quantity it stored will also be more. ''Ding, As for where the host can find them, the trees are everywhere; however, they are not old enough to produce the nt essence. ''Ding, Also, since the host is blessed with a world fairy in sensing the energy, as long as the host focuses, he could tell whether the tree has the nt essence or not. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head, making Ajax reveal a slight smile. ''Oh. So, I just have to find the trees that are older than 1000 years, right?'' Ajax nodded his head as he closed his eyes to check for the 1000-year-old trees in the Purple stone world. ''Huh?'' However, soon, he raised his brows and called, "Purple." ''Swoosh'' "Master, I am here." As soon as he called, the little world fairy appeared in front of him. "There is not a single 1000-year-old tree in the Purple stone world. How is it possible?" Ajax asked Purple with a confused look on his face. "Sigh¡­around 100 years ago, there was a huge war between the humans and demons from various worlds and our Purple stone world''s location was in the middle of the Human territory and Demon territory." "The warsted for years and everyone started calling it ''Great human-demon war''." "In the crossfire between the humans and the demons, the Purple stone world suffered great losses and all the valuable natural treasures were destroyed." "Not only that, once in a while, emperor realm experts from both sides fall into this world, destroying thousands of kilometers." "Overall, it was a nightmare for the residents of the Purple stone world." Purple was unable to forget those things and while healing the world from those damages, she used all her energy and fell into an eternal slumber. "Sigh." Of course, Ajax knew about the ''Great human-demon war'' because he had heard stories about it from Elder Boron when he was small. Moreover, he also found the ''Heaven''s destroyer spear''s soul'' which was used by some powerful emperor realm cultivator in the ''Great human-demon war''. ''So, I can only find nt essence in the other worlds.'' Earlier, Ajax tried to find some oldest trees in the Purple stone world; however, those trees still had a long way before producing the nt essence. After hearing the world spirit''s exnation, Ajax came to the conclusion that he could only find the nt essence in the other worlds. ''Wait a second. I wonder whether nt essence is avable in the trading realm.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought about the trading realm and his two friends, one primeval ent and a dark elf. Since it is almost impossible to find the thousand-year-old trees in the small worlds and he could not openly invade the normal worlds, he could only try it out in the trading realm. ''No matter how costly it is, I don''t mind buying it.'' When ites to trading tokens, Ajax didn''t have to worry because of a misunderstanding from the ''Universal summoner'', he had enough trading tokens. "Even though the Purple stone world reached the lowest rank among the normal grade worlds because of that war, some good things happened to the Purple stone world and its residents." Seeing that Ajax sigh after hearing about what happened to the Purple stone world, the world spirit said that the Purple stone world got some benefits from the ''Great human demon war. ''Huh?'' Ajax came out of his thoughts when he heard the world spirit''s words and thought about it. "Are you talking about the weapons souls buried in the world?" After gaining the ''Heaven''s destroyer spear'', Ajax knew there were many weapons'' souls buried in the Purple stone world and he even felt some of them while searching for his parents'' souls. However, those souls were not powerful and didn''t pique his interest. So, he left them for the fated ones. "Yes. The souls of the powerful weapons are not the only ones buried in the Purple stone world. The powerful human cultivators who got injured in the war decided to rest here for eternity. Before that, they created inheritance grounds." "Also, there are two dimensional crevices that moved to this world. I think the master already gained ownership of one of the dimensional crevices." The world spirit exined about everything that Ajax previously had doubts. When he first entered the summoner king''s inheritance ground, he wondered about the origins of the creator. It was the same when he entered the dimensional crevice. Finally, he got the answers to the two biggest questions he had as he now knew how those things end up in the Purple stone world. "Let''s don''t bother about the inheritance grounds; however, let''s take care of the second dimensional crevice in this world." Ajax was already nning to take care of the second dimensional crevice where the owner of that dimensional crevice sent crazy cultivators after him in the past. If not for Captain Edmond, Ajax would have died at his hands. "Let''s do as you wish, Master." Since Ajax is the emperor of the Purple stone world, Purple would follow whatever he says without any hesitation. "I think it is time to go back and restructure the entire Purple stone world." Ajax had already nned a rough idea of how he should restructure the Purple stone world; he was going to consult Elder Boron and Zanath, who seemed to be experts in handling such things. ''Before that, I think I will just upgrade my cultivation.'' Even though Ajax didn''t think much about his cultivation, the others would always judge him with his cultivation because he could not just kill a powerful high-level kin realm cultivator to prove his battle prowess, right? Nevertheless, since he already has two normal world cores, Ajax decided to use them. ''Ding, The host used two normal world cores. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation increased from level 7 to level 9 elite general realm. Maybe it was because he had the title ''Emperor'', he didn''t even feel any pain while using the world cores. Moreover, his cultivation increased instantly without any waiting period, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Finally, I am a level 9 elite general realm cultivator. I just need one more normal world and I can use the Greater world core to be a king realm cultivator.'' Once he gets a normal world core, Ajax would meet all the conditions to break into the King realm. His cultivation would be level 10 elite general realm. His cultivator''sw ''Fire devour'' is already at level 10 and as long as he focuses on it, he could transform it into a cultivator''s soul. And the most important thing, he has the Greater world core which he got from the mission rewards. "Let''s go." Controlling his excitement, Ajax flew back to the ce where Elder Boron and others were waiting for him. ...¡­ In the astral space created by the Astral demon emperor Xareth. "What the hell?" The demon god started cursing the five demon emperors who were standing in front of him with anxious looks on their faces. "What''s the use of supporting you b*stards with so many valuable resources?" "You can''t even take care of a low-level normal grade world." "Do you even know the actual worth of that low-level normal grade world?" "If the human emperors from those Greater human worlds found out its worth, you can forget your dreams of bing the owners of this universe." The demon god was seething with rage; however, other than shouting, he could not do anything because the demon god was using an artifact tomunicate with them. So, other than scolding them, he could do nothing. "Sir, demon god. Please forgive us. I will personally go and invade that low-level normal world." The primordial demon emperor spoke after hesitating for a while. "Idiot. What am I going to do with such foolish demon emperors under me? No wonder my status among the other demon gods keeps on decreasing." The demon god didn''t know what to do with the primordial demon emperor when he heard that the primordial demon emperor would take care of the Purple stone world. "Someone knocks some senses into him and exins to him why we can''t invade the Purple stone world." The demon god shook his head as he continued, "Also, the human gods started feeling suspicious regarding your actions. So, the human emperors from the other greater human worlds would keep an eye on you." "So, keep your noses out and wait until I give permission to attack the Purple stone world." The demon god calmed down a bit as he said, "Other than messing with the purple stone world, you can divert their attention by invading the other human worlds that are away from the Purple stone." "As for your demon essence, I will send them as usual; however, I can''t give you such good stuff if you fail more missions in the future." "Yes, demon god." The five demon emperors bowed to the demon god and thanked him. "Phew" Only after the demon god''s projection disappeared, the five demon emperors heaved a sigh of relief. "I wonder why the demon god is so adamant about the Purple stone world? What is actually inside the Purple stone world? What is its actual worth that the demon god was talking about?" The demon emperors except for the Primordial demon emperor started thinking about the Purple stone world with curious looks on their faces. ****** Time to explore more worlds > Chapter 1424 Father? Chapter 1424 Father?¡¡¡¡After 10 days, ''Swoosh'' In a smaller bronze demon world, a portal opened as Ajax and Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings walked out of it. "Alder, go on. There is no need to show any mercy." Ajax ordered Alder as he found a ce to sit down. ''Screech'' Nodding his head, Alder flew into the sky and started his usual devouring. ''Once I get my hands on another smaller demon world core, I can finally break through into the King realm.'' During thest few days, Ajax and Alder were visiting a smaller demon world to destroy it and collect the world cores. Also, Alder''s skill got upgraded after his breakthrough into the high-level king realm as he could open to a smaller world every day. However, to open a portal to a normal world, he had to wait for one month. ''Right now, I don''t mind visiting a smaller demon world daily as I still don''t have the power to conquer a normal world.'' Currently, Ajax was focusing on breaking through to the king realm. ''Once I sessfully be a King realm cultivator, I can enter the mutated Bronze demon world and save those elemental spirits.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the mission to save the elemental spirits from the High-level bronze demon king. Even though he already had the ticket to enter that world, Aja was just waiting for his cultivation to reach the King realm. ''Also, to my bad luck, I didn''t find the nt essence in the low-level section of the trading realm and if I want to look for it in the mid-level or high-level section of the trading realm, I need to increase my trader level.'' When he thought about his struggles in searching for the nt essence in the trading realm, Ajax could not help but sigh. ''Anyway, there is a week in the trading realm. ording to Dark Elf, as long as I buy three items from the auction, my level will be increased to enter the Mid-level section of the trading realm.'' Nevertheless, when he heard the suggestion of his friend in the trading realm, Ajax felt hopeful again. As for the money to buy them, Ajax felt that his million trading tokens would be enough. ''However, the problem is where should I search for my parents'' souls?'' If the souls were in the Purple stone world, it would have been easy for Ajax to find; however, the universe is vast and there were countless worlds. So, it would take his entire life to find his parents'' souls. ''Ding, If the host bes a powerful Emperor or breaks through the emperor realm cultivation, the host might search the entire universe with his eyes closed. ''What? I can do that?'' When he heard the system notification, Ajax felt excited. ''It''s decided then, I will increase my cultivation as soon as possible.'' Even if he didn''t have to find his parents'' souls, Ajax would naturally aim to be the strongest cultivator in the universe using the system. However, since his parents'' souls were waiting for him somewhere in this universe, he has to fasten his speed. ''Just wait for me, father and mother, I aming for you.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he swore to find his parents. ''Hey, brat, when, I, your father is here, who are you trying to search for?'' All of a sudden, Ajax heard a familiar voice in his head. ''Huh? Old man, are you still alive? Also, what are you talking about?'' Previously the old voice in his head fell into slumber and hadn''t spoken for a while. So, he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old voice. Moreover, when he heard those words, Ajax felt more like he was getting scolded by the old voice. ''...'' The old voice didn''t say anything for a while and all of sudden, he shouted, "Brat, who are you calling ''Old man''?" ''Who else? I am calling you because your voice sounds ancient.'' Ajax was just being honest with the old voice in his head because that''s what he thought from the beginning. ''Brat, I am your father.'' The old voice became impatient as though he mighte out of Ajax''s head to beat the sh*t out of his son. "You are not joking, right?" Ajax felt something was not right as he asked the old voice again. ''Do you think someone will joke about these things?'' The old voice seemed more energetic today as he continuously shouted in Ajax''s head. ''I am Vaugh Spiriteye and I married my wife M, the daughter of my master, Boron¡­.'' ''You are staying in my head and you might have heard when Grandpa Boron was telling me about these things.'' However, before the old voice could finish its words, Ajax interrupted as he shook his head. ''Damn it¡­I thought I should give you a surprise when you be a King realm cultivator; however, sensing your seriousness to find my soul and your mother''s soul, I decided to reveal the truth.'' ''However, you brat started suspecting me.'' The old voice felt dejected with Ajax''s suspicion as it continued, ''I did a mistake by leaving you in Master Boron''s care. You must have listened to his stories and started suspecting everything.'' Soon, the old voice started ming Elder Boron for spoiling Ajax with his stories. ''I hope even my enemies will not encounter this situation where their own son can''t believe their fathers.'' The old voice sighed as he asked Ajax, ''Just tell me what will make you believe me that I am your father.'' ''Hm'' Ajax nodded his head and started thinking about it. ''If Grandpa Boron is here, I don''t have to think much; however, since he has entered into seclusion, I can only think.'' Elder Boron was the only one who could confirm whether the old voice was telling the truth or not. However, after the war with the demons ended, he was busy restructuring the various factions in the Purple stone world. In the Purple stone world, there are no more barriers between the provinces and the provinces still have the same names. Also, there were no more hundreds of sects; instead, only three main sects in the entire world that would look after the three provinces. And the sect leaders of these three sects would report to either Elder Boron or Ajax. After restructuring, he secluded himself to break through to the mid-level Emperor realm. ''Right!'' Soon, Ajax found something which might confirm the old man''s words. "If you are really my father, then you left something for me inside the core realm of the Purple stone world. What are they?" Ajax asked a question that might make him understand the credibility of the old voice''s words. Even though Ajax had entered the core realm, he could only enter in his spirit consciousness form. So, there was no way the old voice could see what his spirit consciousness form could see. "They are Supreme grade spirit stones." The old voice didn''t even think to answer that question as he continued, "I left exactly 10 supreme grade spirit stones in the core realm and it is not for you." "Calm down¡­calm down." Ajax felt like his whole world was spinning when he heard the old voice''s reply in his head. Because that old voice was right about it. There were exactly 10 supreme grade spirit stones in the core realm of the Purple stone world. Except for Ajax and Purple, no one in the entire Purple stone world knew about it. "Father?" Ajax believed the old voice in his head was none other than his father as he awkwardly called him. "Finally¡­you believed me. I thought I would go into another slumber before convincing you." The old voice in Ajax''s head seemed relieved after hearing Ajax call him. ''...'' Ajax had so many questions in his head that he wanted to ask his father; however, not a single one came to his mind right now. Because he was still unable to believe that he had found his father''s soul already. What''s more, his father''s souls were in his head the whole time. "So, ask him anything you want to know before I fall into the slumber." Vaugh could tell that his son Ajax had so many questions for him; however, he was unable to ask anything. So, he made Ajax out of his thoughts and wanted him to ask anything that Ajax wanted to know. ''Pheww¡­'' Ajax took a deep breath and released the air before asking, "Father, who did you end up in my head?" "You must have known about the incident from 15 years back, right?" Vaugh asked Ajax in a low tone. "Yes." "After killing all the otherworldy experts, I locked my soul in the system and made it turn into a pendant which Elder Boron put around your neck under my request." "So, when you unlocked the system, it released my soul into your head; however, at that time, I was very and you are not strong enough to provide your energy." "After a while, you started cultivating and the system provided me with the essence of nature to recover my injuries; however, it was not enough as I have toe to your rescue whenever you are in danger." "During that process, my injuries will worsen and I will go into slumber." Vague started exining how he ended up inside his head. ''Oh'' Finally, Ajax understood why the old voice appeared whenever he was in some kind danger. "So, Father is always looking after me?" Ajax felt warm in his heart; however, he suddenly thought about something and asked, "What about my mother''s soul?" Chapter 1425 Ready to become a King Realm Cultivator Chapter 1425 Ready to be a ''King Realm Cultivator''¡¡¡¡"What about my mother''s soul?" Soon, Ajax asked about his mother, M. She was also a powerful emperor realm cultivator just like his father. So, Ajax wanted to know about his mother''s whereabouts. ''She is somewhere far away from this world.'' Vaugh''s voice became very weak as he replied to Ajax. "Far away? Where?" Ajax raised his brows. ''Yes. I used the artifact I found in the inheritance grounds to send your mother''s soul along with that artifact.'' Vaugh exined how he sent his wife M''s soul to some safe ce. "Where is that ce? Let''s go and find her?" Ajax wanted to find his mother and help her in reconstructing her new body. ''Sigh¡­I only know it is somewhere safe. So, don''t worry about your mother.'' Vaugh sighed as he didn''t give any chance for Ajax to speak and continued, ''I stored her soul in a much more powerful artifact than your artifact aka System. So, focus on increasing your strength for now.'' ''...'' Ajax was speechless at his father''s words. From the looks of it, his father didn''t seem to worry much about Ajax''s mother, making Ajax doubt whether he was really his father. "Then how am I going to meet her?" Nevertheless, after waiting for a moment, Ajax asked with a serious look. ''Soon'' Vaugh replied only a single word. ''As I said, her soul is stored in a much more powerful system than the system you have. Once she finds a suitable host, her host will be very powerful with just a small effort.'' Vaugh could sense Ajax''s emotions. So, he exined a few more things to make Ajax''s anxious heart calm. ''A powerful system?'' Ajax''s eyes lit up when he heard his father''s words. "So, there is another system in this world." He didn''t expect a second system to exist. Moreover, it was in the hands of his mother, giving him a pleasant surprise. "By the way, father. I am really curious about the system''s origins. Can you tell me where you get this system?" ording to Elder Boron, the system Ajax was currently using belongs to his father Vaugh Spiriteye. And the guardians betrayed them when they were retrieving the second system that was more powerful than the one used by his father. Because of the otherworldly experts'' sudden appearance, his father stored Ajax''s mother''s soul in a powerful system and sent it to a faraway ce where no otherworldly experts could find it. Whereas his father stored his own soul in his system before asking Elder Boron to take care of his son and the artifact. Since his father was the original owner of his system, Ajax wanted to know about the system''s origins. ''You are not powe¡­.'' "Don''t repeat the same lines of the system." Before Vaugh could finish his words, Ajax interrupted his father''s words. ''It is a long story. After arguing with you earlier, I used up all my energy.'' However, Vaugh didn''t have any intention of revealing the origins of the system to his son; instead, he said he didn''t have any energy left. "Wait¡­don''t fall into the slumber." Ajax knew what his father was trying to do. So, he tried to stop him. ''Nurture the Soul nourishing tree well. Let''s talk more about the system''s origins and my origins. What do you say?'' As he spoke, Vaugh''s voice became weaker and weaker. Just like the system''s origins, his father Vaugh''s origins were also mysterious because even Elder Boron didn''t know about it. It was like one day, Vaugh appeared in the Purple stone world out of nowhere. ''Looks like he is really not joking about not having any energy.'' Ajax felt his father was genuinely weak to talk. So, he nodded his head and said, "Okay then. I will try my best in finding the nt essence to nurture the Soul nourishment tree." ''nt essence?'' Vaugh seemed to think about it for a moment before replying, ''You can find it in the Elven world. The higher the grade of the world, the more quantity and purity you will fin..'' Vaugh''s voice was cut off in the middle. ''Sigh¡­I was able to talk with him for a few minutes.'' Ajax sighed as he knew the reason why his father''s voice was suddenly cut off. ''Right! He gave a tip that the nt essence can be found in the Elven world. I guess I have to pay a visit to my elven world before going to the mutated bronze demon world.'' Since he has a normal grade elven world, Ajax wanted to take a look at how much it improved. Nevertheless, he was sure that he would not find any nt essence in his elven world because it just started recovering after being a barren world for a long time. ''Wait a second'' Suddenly, Ajax''s eyes brightened up when he thought about something. ''How did I forget about it? The first ce I should visit after breaking through to the King realm should be the Five elemental world.'' When he thought about his elven world, Ajax suddenly remembered the Ancient evergreen wood. Ancient Evergreen Woods is one of the regions in the Five elemental world and it was a ce for Forest elves. ''Since the system already generated a mission to take over thest region in the Five Elemental World, I will finish that mission before trying toplete other missions.'' Once he bes a King realm cultivator, Ajax knew it would be an easy thing to conquer thest region of the Five elemental world because the highest level of the forest elf was the peak king realm cultivator. ''As long as I defeat him and show that I already conquered the remaining three regions in the Five Elemental World, they will have no choice but to submit to me.'' While waiting for the devourer eagle king to finish his mission, Ajax was nning his missions one by one. Ajax wanted toplete all his missions and start venturing to the normal human or greater human worlds. ''Even though I am visiting a smaller demon world every day, I am not satisfied with it. I need to start conquering the normal worlds.'' So, Ajax nned to enter a normal world and secretly build his power while learning about the power structure of that normal world. After learning enough things about that normal world, he would use his power to conquer it in a single go. ''Let''s check what are the rewards for conquering the Ancient evergreen woods.'' Ajax opened the quest tab to check the mission details. ''Ding, Mission name:- Conquer the Ancient Evergreen Woods. Mission rewards:- Ancient world tree seed. Mission objective:- Get the acknowledgment of the forest elves. Information:- The ancient evergreen woods are the heart of the Five elemental world and if you don''t get their acknowledgement, there is nothing you can do to upgrade the Five elemental world. ''Sigh¡­if it is defeating or killing them, it would have been easy; however, getting the acknowledgement will be a little difficult.'' Ajax sighed; however, he didn''t give up on the mission. He would only find out how difficult it would be after giving it a try. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast conquered a smaller bronze demon world. ''Ding, Please enter the core realm to extract the world core. Soon, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, making hime out of his thoughts. ''Looks like he is getting better at this job.'' Looking at the devourer eagle king in the distance, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Time to pick the world core and breakthrough into the King realm.'' Putting aside all his thoughts, Ajax entered the core realm. Since he picked dozens of world cores, it didn''t take much time for Ajax as he came out of the world core in just a few moments. ''Merge all the smaller demon world cores I have.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered the system to merge the world cores as he returned back to the Purple stone world along with Alder. ''Ding, Merging 10 smaller world cores into a normal world core. ''Ding, Merging finished. Please use it to increase your cultivation. By the time Ajax returned to his pce in the Purple stone world, he received the system notifications regarding the merging of the world cores. ''Use the normal world core and increase my cultivation.'' Ajax had been waiting for this day for so long and he didn''t want to waste any more on increasing his cultivation. ''Ding, The host used a normal core and increased his cultivation to level 10 elite general realm. ''Ding, The host met the conditions to break through into the King realm. Use any world core to break through into the King realm. ''Ding, The higher the grade of the world core, the higher the battle prowess the host would gain. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications, making him excited. ''Finally, I can break through into the King realm.'' Ajax revealed an excited smile as he muttered, ''Greater world core, let me see you once before using you.'' Even though Ajax had a Greater world core, he had never seen one and since he was going to use it today, he nned to check it once. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a golden-coloured orb thatpletely filled his palm appeared in his hands. ''Just looking at you makes me eat you.'' It was brightly shining and looked just like a heavenly fruit that makes everyone eat it and Ajax was also no exception to use. ''Anyway, it''s time to break through into the King realm.'' ..... Chapter 1426 Bone restructuring process Chapter 1426 Bone restructuring process¡¡¡¡''Anyway, it''s time to break through into the King realm.'' Ajax was waiting for this for a while. So, he didn''t waste any time dying his breakthrough. ''System, I want to use the Greater world core to breakthrough into the King realm.'' Previously, he received a Greater world core from one of his missions. The higher the grade of the world core, the more powerful he would be after bing a king realm cultivator. ''Ding, Using the Greater world core to upgrade the host''s cultivation to the King realm. ''Ding, There will be aplete restructuring of the host''s body during the process. So, please endure the unbearable pain. Soon, the system sent a couple of system notifications, giving a heads up for Ajax. ''Restructuring my body? Unbearable pain?'' Ajax raised his brows; however, he knew bing powerfules at a price. For him, that price was to endure the unbearable pain and he was willing to do it. ''Even though father said not to worry about mother, I need to be stronger and search for her.'' Maybe he was jealous of everyone who had parents or for whatever reason, Ajax just wanted to find his mother. However, for that, he needs to be powerful enough to venture even between the Greater worlds. "As long as I be a king realm cultivator, I can use that thing." Ajax tried to forget about the pain with the thing he could use after bing a King realm cultivator. ''Aargh'' Soon, Ajax felt all the bones in his body were shattered and started rejoining again, making him fall to the ground as he groaned. ''Is this called bone restructuring?'' Ajax had heard about it from Elder Boron''s stories. ording to those stories, the cultivators from the Greater worlds would restructure their bones at a young age of four to five. During that age, the pain would be very less and the process would be very easy. With the help of bone-restructuring, they could easily cultivate and be the King realm cultivators in a short time after starting their cultivation journey. Of course, the process should be done by an expert. If any random cultivator tried it, the kid would die without a doubt. However, the cultivators from the normal world and the smaller worlds didn''t have such experts and didn''t have such techniques. So, they struggle to cultivate once they reach a certain cultivation realm. For some, that limit was quite high whereas most of the cultivators were stuck in the elite general realm cultivation for their entire life. ''With this bone restructuring, I don''t have any problems in breaking through to the Emperor realm.'' Even though until now, Ajax didn''t have any problems with his breakthrough, it was because of Elder Boron''s training during his childhood. At the same time, it was with the help of the system. ''However, if my body is not suitable for cultivating, even the system could not help me in breaking through.'' Gritting his teeth, Ajax started thinking about a few things just to distract himself from the pain. ''Anyway, I think I will just have to use world cores to increase my cultivation.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know whether the system would follow 10-level cultivation or 3-level cultivation after he became a king realm cultivator, he was sure about one thing. It was, that he would be using the world cores to increase his cultivation. ''Ding, The system will follow the standard 3-level king realm cultivation. So, the system suggests the host use the high-grade world cores to breakthrough. Even though Ajax was in unbearable pain, the system still cleared his doubts, making Ajax thankful for the system. ''At least this is helping me in distracting this unbearable pain.'' Ajax gritted his teeth and continued to have the discussion with the system. ....l In one of the demon worlds belonging to the Golden demon emperor. ''Brother, isn''t it risky for us to stay under the Gold demon Emperor?'' ''It is risky; however, did you forget how our cultivation was progressing these days?'' ''Yes. Because of that, we even joined the rank of regr demon apostles.'' Two golden demon kings were having conservation. It started with the younger golden demon king''s worry; however, amidst their conversation, his worry disappeared without a trace. They were none other than the two golden demon kings who submitted to Ajax. After returning from the cursed wilderness, they join the armies that demon apostles were leading to invading the Purple stone world; however, on Ajax''s order, they left the war in the middle. Of course, they left when the situation was still under the control of the demon army with the excuse that they were on the verge of a breakthrough. Since they were almost invading the Purple stone world, they were easily able to leave and break through to the peak demon king realm. "It''s all because of the cultivation technique bestowed to us by the master." Of course, the sudden increase in their cultivation speed was because of the ''Golden demon cultivation technique'' that Ajax gave them. Because of their battle prowess, they joined the ranks of normal demon apostles and as long as they broke through to the Emperor realm, they would be the first order demon apostle. ''I think it will only take a month or two for us to be the Emperor realm cultivator. At that time, we can have our own normal world.'' The younger demon became excited when he was thinking about their future. ''However, we should not forget the orders of our master.'' The older brother reminded the younger brother about Ajax''s order. ''Of course, I remember. We need to build a demon army that would not mind betraying the demon race.'' ''Yes. He said we should create our own loyal army.'' The two golden demons didn''t forget about Ajax''s orders as they already started building their own armies. ''Let''s go and select a few more young demons.'' After discussing a few more things, the two brothers split as they got busy searching for the demons to increase their army. ... In some faraway unknown world. "Heavens, please help me." "If there is a next life, please let me reincarnate with a good cultivation talent in a good family. I don''t want to get bullied because of my cultivation talent and for being an orphan." An average-looking girl was standing on the edge of a tall mountain as she looked at the sky. Her eyes were filled with eyes, her hair was messy and her clothes were having footprints on them. Not only that, her face waspletely covered in fresh bruises. Overall, one could tell that she was clearly beaten up by more than a few people. Her name was Amy and she didn''t have a family name because she was just an orphan. She didn''t know about her parents and she was not even interested in finding out about them. ording to her, since they abandoned her, there was no need to search for them. She was a lively young girl who took care of the young orphans in the orphanage she grew up in and was polite to everyone. The others were also the same as they always praised her for being positive and good to everyone. However, everything changed when she took the summoner test at the age of 15. Her talent was not good and she failed in forming a contract with an elemental spirit. Soon, one after another started bullying him and because of the bullies, no one dared to be friends with her and even her friends started leaving her. Nevertheless, she tried her best in enduring the bullying in the sect that took her in despite not having any talent. To show the sect her gratitude, she worked very hard to increase her cultivation; however, no matter how much effort she put into her cultivation, it was useless. ''Those bastards. I thought they took pity on me and wanted to help me; however, they just wanted me to participate in the dual cultivation with their old sect leader.'' Amy clenched her fists when she thought about the schemes of the sect leaders and the sect leader. If not for the help of a female sect elder, she would have not known all these things and would have eventually turned into a dual cultivation vassal for the old sect leader. ''This world is filled with such perverted b*stards but why would heavens not punish them?'' Amy wanted to kill all of those b*stards; however, he was just a level 2 soldier realm cultivator whereas the other party was a group of King realm cultivators. ''Sigh¡­anyway, one day, someone might take care of them.'' Amy shook her head and thought about the reason why she came here. "I hope the heavens will fulfil my wish." As soon as she finished her words, the young girl who seemed to be around 16 years old, jumped off the tall mountain. Since the sect would not let her live a peaceful life in this world and after catching her, they would not even kill her; instead, she would be sent to the sect leader''s chambers. So, instead of living such a life, Amy decided tomit suicide and reincarnate into a good family with a good cultivation of talent in her next life. ''Aargh'' Even though she mustered all her courage to jump off the cliff, Amy could not help but shout loudly. ''Puchi'' Soon, Amy reached the ground; however, she fell into muddy water. ''Aargh¡­why don''t I die peacefully? Why must I suffer even in death.'' Even though she was not dead, the impact of falling from such a height broke the bones in her body. ''Ding, Detected someone who met the conditions to participate in the system''s trial. Do you want to enter? Suddenly, she heard a system notification in her head. ..... Chapter 1427 Becoming a King Realm Cultivator Chapter 1427 Bing a King Realm Cultivator¡¡¡¡In Ajax''s new mansion, Purple stone world. Ajax was sitting cross-legged with a calm look on his face. Currently, his body was emitting a powerful pressure that would even make the high-level king realm cultivators a little pressured. Unlike the regr cultivators, Ajax used the normal world cores to increase his cultivation and moreover, he was even using a Greater world core to break through into the King realm. ''Kacha'' All of a sudden, there was a crisp sound inside Ajax''s body and in the next second, even more, powerful pressure was released from his body for a brief moment. ''Ding, The host has be a Quasi-King realm cultivator. ''Ding, The heavens will be sending a tribtion cloud. The host has to sessfully cross the lightning tribtion to be a King realm cultivator. As Ajax was expecting to be a King realm, the system announced he became a Quasi-king realm cultivator. ''I totally forgot about the lightning tribtions.'' Nevertheless, Ajax knew about the lightning tribtion because he had witnessed it in the Five elemental world when Qwerek, the previous tribe leader of the lightning hawks. ''Looks like I should use this opportunity to temper my body.'' Since Ajax was good at sensing and absorbing the energy from nature, using the lightning energy from the lightning tribtion was not a big deal for him. Moreover, he had already done it once in the past and he could do it again. ''Ding, Please find a spacious ground if you don''t want your new building to get destroyed. Just as Ajax was waiting for the lightning tribtions toe at him, the system notified him to find a spacious and open ce. "Thanks, system." After thanking the system, Ajax fell into the air and found a spacious space far away from his mansion. ''Rumble'' Soon, the tribtion cloud appeared above his head while letting out loud thunder rumbles. "I am rea¡­" ''Swoosh'' Before Ajax could finish his words, the tribtion cloud had already sent the first lightning strike. Even though Ajax received the lightning strike, his body was strong and it didn''t even make any injuries to his body ''Damn you¡­can''t you wait for a¡­'' Ajax was angry and shouted at the tribtion cloud, only to receive the second lightning strike in the middle of his words. ''Damn it'' Ajax gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger towards the tribtion cloud. ''I need to temper my body; however, the regr lightning tribtion is not enough.'' After calming himself down, Ajax wanted to focus on tempering his body; however, the first two lightning strikes barely did anything to his body. However, if he wanted a King grade body, he wanted powerful lightning strikes. ''I can only do it.'' Once he thought of a n, Ajax didn''t hesitate as he directly showed a middle finger at the lightning tribtion cloud. ''I wonder whether it will understand it or not?'' Even though Ajax showed his middle finger, he was not sure whether the cloud knew it or not. ''Rumble'' However, in the next second, he heard a loud rumble from the tribtion cloud as though it was very furious about someone. ''That someone is me.'' Ajax knew the tribtion cloud had understood his words and it would be sending the powerful lightning strikes soon. ''Even though the bone restructuring process is very painful, it made me a lot stronger. Right now, I can kill a mid-level king realm cultivators without using any of my trump cards.'' After his bone structuring, Ajax''s body was able to absorb the energies even faster. Even without any main cultivation, Ajax was able to absorb a lot of the essence of nature. So, if he was able toplete his body tempering, he would be even more powerful. ''It''s time for proper body tempering.'' As long as he finished his body tempering from the lightning tribtion, Ajax was confident in killing the high-level king realm cultivator with his bare hands. Ajax had already created a barrier around him to stop the other cultivators from looking at him undergoing the lightning tribtions. ..... Time continued to pass as one lightning strike after anothernded on Ajax''s body; however, he sat cross-legged and used the lightning energy to temper his body. With each lightning strike, the power inside them doubled and tripled; however, Ajax didn''t even release a single groan. If someone sees him now, they would be shocked that Ajax was calmly sitting under the tribtion without bothering to block the lightning strikes. Generally, the cultivators experiencing the lightning tribtions would use all kinds of techniques and methods to block the lightning strikes; however, Ajax was using the lightning strikes to refine his body. ''Rumble'' Soon, the tribtion cloud released thest lightning strike that waspletely in purple colour. It was the most powerful lightning strike the current lightning tribtion cloud could release. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Soon, the purple coloured lightning fell on Ajax''s body and a huge explosion urred. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the tribtion cloud that was pitch ck when it arrived had be pure white as it disappeared into thin air. However, Ajax was still sitting in the same ce without having any intention to stand up. ''Sizzle'' Around him, there were small lightning shes moving here and there. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully crossing the lightning tribtion and bing a King realm cultivation. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully unlocking a King grade body by tempering your body with tribtion lightning. ''Ding, Please check your user interface to see the changes that appeared after bing a King realm cultivator. Within no time, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head, informing him about his breakthrough and unlocking of the King grade body. However, Ajax didn''t even bother to check those system notifications because he was currently undergoing an Enlightenment. ''Ding, The system detected the host is undergoing an Enlightenment. Temporarily increasing the host''s perception as a reward for breaking into the King realm. In the next second, Ajax had a golden halo on his body as a slight smile appeared on his face. ''Tick tock tick tock'' One hour passed by since Ajax became a King realm cultivator; however, he still hasn''t woken up from the Enlightenment. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for awakening a new cultivator''sw. Finally, the system informed him about the awakening of the new cultivator''sw. Nevertheless, Ajax was still covered in the golden halo as he was increasing the experience and knowledge of his new cultivator''sw. As soon as he discovered the new cultivator''sw, it started to progress at an incredible speed. ''Kacha'' In a few seconds, thew had reached level 2. ''Level 3'' It took one minute for Ajax to increase his cultivator''sw to level 3. ''Level 4'' ''Level 5'' ''Level 6'' . . . After a couple of hours, ''Ding, The host''s new cultivationw had already reached level 10. Like how Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings was able to progress his new bestialw, Ajax was also able to increase his level. However,pared to Alder, Ajax was much faster as it only took a couple of hours for Ajax to upgrade his new cultivator''sw from level 1 to level 10. Moreover, Ajax''s cultivator''sw was still growing and it might be a cultivator''s soul anytime now. ''Ding, The host''s new cultivationw had sessfully transformed into a cultivator''s soul. It took three hours for Ajax''s level 10 cultivator''sw to transform into a cultivator''s soul. Only after it became a cultivator''s soul, did the golden halo around Ajax disappear and he opened his eyes. ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he stood up from the ground and stretched his body. ''System, I cked out during the lightning tribtion. However, I can tell that I have sessfully be a King realm cultivator.'' Ajax asked the system with a confused look on his face. ''Ding, The host was undergoing an enlightenment process for thest seven hours. ''What? Enlightenment?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment; however, his shock turned into a pleasantly surprise. ''What did I awaken from the enlightenment?'' Without wasting any time, Ajax opened his user interface to check out what he awakened. ''Ding, Name:- Ajax. Cultivation:- Low-level King realm. Cultivationws:- Void ofher (level 1) Cultivation souls:- Fire devourer (level 1) and Heavenly lightning (level 1), Soon, the system showed only the important things about Ajax in the user interface. ''So, I awakened a new cultivator''sw¡­no¡­cultivator''s soul.'' Ajax was once again shocked because he didn''t expect he would be directly awakening a cultivator''s soul. Generally, a cultivator would awaken a level 1 cultivator''sw and slowly upgrade it with time. However, Ajax assumed that he had awakened a cultivator''s soul directly, making him quite unbelievable. ''Ding, The host has¡­ ''Oh. So, that''s how it happened.'' Ajax nodded his head after listening to the system''s exnation. Ding, The host met the conditions to break through into the Mid-level King realm cultivation. Use any world core to be a Mid-level King realm cultivator. ''Ding, The higher the grade of the world core, the higher the battle prowess of the host would. All of the sudden, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''What? I already met the conditions to be a mid-level king realm? But, I haven''t done anything yet.'' Ajax checked the system notifications once again to confirm whether it was right. ''It is right! But, how did I meet the conditions just after I became a King realm cultivator?'' Ajax raised his brows as his eyended on his second cultivator''s soul that he had awakened just a few moments back. Chapter 1428 Merging the Third Fragment of the Inheritance Sword Chapter 1428 Merging the Third Fragment of the Inheritance Sword¡¡¡¡For the cultivators who recently became the King realm cultivators, it would take decades to reach the mid-level king realm cultivation unless they were geniuses or if they got their hands on some heavenly treasures. However, other than the enlightenment, Ajax didn''t receive any treasures that progressed his cultivation. Nevertheless, since it was the only thing that happened after he became the King realm cultivator, Ajax guessed it might be the reason. ''Ding, The requirements to be a mid-level King realm cultivator are 1) Low-level king realm cultivation. 2) At least two level 1 cultivators'' souls. 3) Grade 1 King body. ''Ding, Once the host meets all these three conditions, he can use a world core to be a Mid-level king realm cultivator. ''Ding, The system suggests the host uses the Greater world core to gain more battle prowess. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications, clearing his doubts and at the same time, he was excited. Because not only did he be a King realm cultivator but he had also met the requirements to be a mid-level king realm cultivator. ''Since I have just be a low-level king realm cultivator, I think I can wait for some time and merge the smaller world cores into a Greater world core.'' Even though Ajax was in a hurry to be stronger, he didn''t want to be a cultivator with high cultivation but weak battle prowess. Moreover, since he could invade a smaller demon world every day and in addition with the help from the other devourer eagle kings and the four exploration teams, it would not even take three months for him to gather 100 smaller world cores. ''Nevertheless, if there is any emergency, I can just use the Greater world core I have with me to break through to the mid-level king ream.'' Since he had just be a king ream cultivator, Ajax wanted to experience his battle prowess of low-level king realm. So, he decided to wait. ''During these three months, I can focus onpleting the system missions and take care of other things.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as he stretched his body a little. ''Should I go andplete the mission on the Five Elemental World?'' Soon, Ajax thought of the mission to get the acknowledgement of the Elves from the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. If he was sessful inpleting the mission, not only he would get rewards from the system but he might also find the nt essence needed by the ''Soul Nourishment Seed''. During thest ten days, Ajax had spent a lot of Astral Energy on that seed; however, it didn''t even sprout, making Ajax give up on it. He felt, that instead of wasting the Astral Energy, he decided to wait until he found the nt essence. So, he decided to go to the ''Five elemental World'' and finish the mission before going to the Mutated Bronze Demon World to finish another system mission ''Save the elemental spirits''. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he flew to the Teleportation circle that was protected by a King realm spirit beast along with 10 Battle Beasts. Also, the three protectors would also keep an eye on it once in a while. Currently, there are two Teleportation Circles in the Purple Stone World. One is connected with the Five Elemental World and the other one was connected with the Normal Grey Dwarf World. Both Teleportation Circles have simr protection, stopping anyone from using the Teleportation. However, that doesn''t mean the cultivators couldn''t use them. As long as they state a valid reason and have enough spirit stones to open the Teleportation portal, they would be permitted to the two worlds. Of course, along with them, one king realm cultivator could follow them until they return back to the Purple stone world. ''I hope the humans don''t fool the Dwarfs and the beast tribesmen from the Five Elemental world.'' Looking at the few cultivators who were entering the five elemental world, Ajax silently thought in his head. Compared to the other days, humans were known for their intelligence. This intelligence could be used for both to do good or to do evil. Since the three worlds were under his control and all the cultivators were his people, Ajax didn''t want them to fool one another or fight against each other. ''Swoosh'' Ajax waited until the cultivators entered the Five elemental world before flying down to use the Teleportation. ''Emperor'' The king realm beasts and the battle beasts guarding the Teleportation Circle hurriedly stood up and greeted Ajax with full respect. "Don''t mind me and go back to your duty." Ajax asked them to continue with their work as he walked closer to the teleportation circle. ''Ding, Host, the rewards from the previous missions are still lying in the inventory. Please use it. Just as he was nning to use the ''Teleportation circle'' to the Five elemental world, he received a system notification, informing him about the rewards. ''I know. I will use them after entering the Five Elemental World.'' How could Ajax forget such valuable items, he was just settling all the things first before using them. Since he had already be the King realm cultivator, he decided to use them. ''Ding, One million units of the essence of nature are needed to open the teleportation circle. ''Open it.'' Since Alder had been killing a world full of demons every day, Ajax''s spirit consciousness and the King realm spirit gourd was overflowing with the essence of nature. So, Ajax didn''t even think of paying one million units of the essence of nature without any hesitation. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the system deducted the required amount of the essence of nature and opened the portal to the Five elemental world. ¡­. In the Five elemental world. ''Swoosh'' ''Even though the core realm of the Purple stone world has the supreme grade spirit stone, the essence of nature in this world is still very pure.'' After walking out of the portal, Ajax could not help but sighed when hepared the purity of the essence of nature between the Five elemental world and the Purple stone world. ''Anyway, I should use the rewards first.'' Before going to the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'', Ajax decided to use the rewards and other items lying in his inventory. Because in the Five elemental world, he was no longer an invincible emperor and it was best to power up as much as possible before entering the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' ''Rumble'' ''Cruch'' However, just as he was about to check his inventory, the ground below him shook as a tentacle sprung off the ground and wrapped Ajax. "Penta, you are no longer a rank 6 spirit beast. You are a high-level king realm spirit beast. So, you need to use less strength when you show your love to me." Ajax didn''t dodge the tentacle because it belongs to none other than the Five elemental spirit beasts ''Pentapus''. Since it was the guardian spirit beast of the Five elemental world, the moment Ajax walked out of the portal, it knew its master had arrived. So, it rushed to Ajax as fast as it could. However, the force it applied to wrap its tentacle around him was a little too much, making Ajax feel like his bones were being crushed. ''Wu wu'' As soon as it heard Ajax''s words, the five elemental spirit beast loosened its tentacle around Ajax, making him heave a sigh of relief. ''If not for the grade 1 King body, my bones would have been crushed.'' Ajax silently thought to himself as berated the spirit beasts to control its excitement when it sees him next time. ''Okay, master.'' The five elemental spirit beast nodded its head in understanding. "Stay with me. After some time, let''s go to the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''." Ajax was nning to use the five elemental spirit beast to gain the acknowledgement of the forest elves of the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. Even though he didn''t know whether it would work or not, Ajax didn''t mind giving it a try. ''It will be better if they instantly acknowledge me; otherwise, I should use force.'' Ajax didn''t want to resort to using the force; however, if he could get his hands on the nt essence, he didn''t mind going all out. ''Ding, Instantly usable items in the inventory are:- 1) System upgrade. 2) Third fragment inheritance sword. 3) Bloodline awakening potion. Soon, the system showed three items that he could use instantly to increase his strength. ''Inheritance sword.'' With a thought, his inheritance sword appeared in one hand whereas in the other hand, the third fragment of the inheritance sword appeared. ''Ding, Do you want to merge the third fragment of the inheritance sword? As soon as he summoned the inheritance sword and its fragment, he received a system notification asking him to merge. ''Merge it.'' It was not his first time as he already merged the second fragment of the inheritance sword making it into a low-level legend grade weapon. Now, with the third fragment, he was wondering to what level the inheritance sword would be upgraded. ''Ding, Merging the third fragment of the inheritance sword with the inheritance sword. ''Ding, The process will take one month. ''What?'' Looking at thest system notification, Ajax was shocked because he didn''t expect the merging process of the inheritance sword would take an entire month. ''Last time it onlytook one day and how did it increase to one month?'' Even though Ajax was shocked by the duration, at the same time, he was excited about it. ''If it takes an entire month, then will it be a Mythical grade weapon?'' Ajax could not help but be excited as he looked forward to seeing it. ''System, how long will it take for the system upgrade?'' Whenever the system was under upgrade, all the system features except for the inventory would be disabled. So, he wanted to know before upgrading the system. ''Ding, It will take three months. ''What?'' ***** Can we reach 1000 Golden Tickets this month? Chapter 1429 Forcefully Entering into the Ancient Evergreen Woods Chapter 1429 Forcefully Entering into the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''¡¡¡¡''What?'' Even though Ajax was expecting the upgrade time for the system would be high, he didn''t expect it would be three months. ''Three months without using the system features?'' Ajax raised his brows. ''Ding, Even if the system is under the upgrade, the host can use the features ''User interface'', ''Inventory'' and ''Appraisal''. ''Ding, So, it will not be a problem for the host. Suddenly, he received a couple of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him. ''Excellent. All I needed was an Appraisal system feature.'' After reading the notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Since Ajax would be moving from one world to another for the next three months, he needed that Appraisal feature of the system, in case he missed any treasures. As for the other system features, Ajax had already gained the power enough to survive on his own. So, even without the system, Ajax could still continue cultivating on his own. ''Ding, Do you want to upgrade the system? As though the system detected Ajax''s thoughts, it sent a system notification to his head. ''Since I can still utilize the basic system features even if the system is under upgrade, there is no need for me to worry about missing out on treasures.'' Ajax nodded his head as he gave themand to start the upgrade. ''Ding, The system is undergoing an update. Please wait three months before using the system features except for the three basic features. ''I wonder what type of new system feature will be unlocked after the update.'' Ajax was looking forward to seeing the system upgrade and what kind of system features it would unlock for him. ''Now,ing back to the inventory.'' Soon, Ajax started looking at the inventory and found the Bloodline awakening potion. It was given to him by his master ''Bloodline Emperor Mostror''. ording to him, the potion should be consumed only after he became a King realm cultivator and since he had finally be one, he could use it without any worries. ''I hope I can awaken a powerful bloodline simr to the ''Abyssal beast god bloodline''.'' Among his three bloodlines, the Abyssal beast god bloodline was powerful and he wanted to awaken a simr bloodline. ''Gulp'' Soon, a potion appeared in his hand and without any hesitation, Ajax drank the potion. ''...'' After drinking the potion, Ajax waited for the bloodline to awaken; however, there was no reaction from his body at all. ''Huh? Why can''t I feel anything?'' Since his master had exaggerated that if a cultivator below king realm cultivation consumes it, they would explode because of therge amount of energy released by the potion after entering into the stomach. However, when Ajax was not able to sense a single fluctuation of the energy in his stomach, Ajax frowned. ''Did the potion lose its effect? Or Did the master give me a fake one? Also, the system is under upgrade and I can''t ask it either.'' Ajax felt helpless and decided, ''I will wait five minutes and see before going to the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''.'' Since he didn''t doubt that his master would give a fake potion to him, Ajax decided to wait. ''...'' Even after five minutes, there were no fluctuations of any energy in his body, making him shake his head in disappointment. ''Looks like the potion lost its effect.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax hopped onto the five elemental spirit beast and asked it to go to the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. ording to the information he received about the Forest Elves in the Ancient Evergreen Woods, they were not violent and would not attack anyone unless they were provoked. So, Ajax didn''t order anyone except for the Pentapus toe with him. If he takes a group of followers with him to the elves'' region, then it might lead to the misunderstanding and might even provoke the forest elves. ''For now, I will try the ''Carrot'' and if it doesn''t work, I will go for the stick.'' Ajax was clear on his goal and soon, they reached the Elves'' territory. "Stop right there. You are not allowed into this region." Just as the five elemental spirit beast was about to enter the Elves'' territory, a cold voice came from the distance. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a group of elves jumped off the trees and stopped the five elemental spirit beast and Ajax. In that group, there were a total of 10 elves, five men and five women who were all beautiful and out of the world. Everyone had a loaded arrow in their bows as they were ready to shoot Ajax and the five elemental spirit beast if they entered their territory even after the warning. ''Huh? Are they not allowing Penta because of me?'' Since the five elemental spirit beast was the guardian of the five elemental world, Ajax was surprised to see that even it was not allowed. So, he wondered whether it was because he was it. "I am here to talk with the leader of the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. Can you please guide me to him?" Nevertheless, Ajax was polite to them because he wanted to create a good impression on the Elves. "Huh? You want to talk to our queen?" The leader of the elf group raised his brows as he asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ''Queen? Right, I forget, the elf settlements have Kings and Queens.'' Ajax was surprised; however, thanks to Elder Boron''s stories, he remembered unlike the spirit beast tribes, the elves would have a King or Queen. "It is something that is rted to the Five elemental world. So, don''t waste any time and inform your Queen." Ajax replied in a calm tone. "What can a lowly king realm cultivator discuss with her highness? Moreover, please use a valid reason such as you need her help or something else. Don''t give me such a silly reason to meet her highness." The leader of the elf group scoffed at Ajax and didn''t believe his words. He was not wrong because Ajax''s cultivation was only at low-level king realm cultivation, no one would believe he had things to discuss with the queen of the elves regarding the Five elemental world. "So, are you not going to inform your Queen about my arrival?" Ajax asked Flinar, the leader of the patrol elves in a calm tone. This time, his wordscked politeness and there was even a hint of rudeness, making Flinar angry. "No. So, go back to where youe from before I get serious." Even though he didn''t like when Ajax spoke rudely, he was given orders that they should not attack someone who didn''t even attack them or entered their territory. "Since you are not going to let me meet your Queen, then I could only force myself into your territory." Ajax could sense that Flinar would not let him meet the queen of the ''Ancient Evergreen Forest''. So, he didn''t want to waste his time on the small fries like the patrol elves and decided to force his way into the elf territory. "Penta, let''s go. If anyone tries to stop you, p them away." Ajax rxed on the head of the five elemental spirit beast and ordered it to enter the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. ''Roar'' As soon as it received Ajax''s order, the five elemental spirit beast roared in excitement and it started moving forward without fear. The spirit beast was angry when it saw Flinar was scoffing at Ajax when its master was trying to be polite. So, when it received the order, it didn''t waste any time as its intention moved towards Flinar. "Everyone, attack." Flinar was surprised as he didn''t expect Ajax would dare enter their territory with only low-level king realm cultivation. However, he was a littlete to recognize the cultivation of the spirit beast under Ajax. Nevertheless, he was not afraid because, in his eyes, the five elemental spirit beast was just an unevolved beast. ''So, how powerful can it be even if it has high-level king realm cultivation?'' Since Flinar also had the cultivation of a high-level king realm, he was not worried about an unevolved beast. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ten elves including Flinar used their high-level heaven grade weapons and released arrows aiming at Ajax. ''Wind des'' However, all those arrows were destroyed by Penta''s wind des. ''Huh?'' Flinar frowned when he saw how easily the pentapus was able to destroy their arrow. ''Mudshots'' However, before they could use their trump cards, Penta had already used on of its attacks to immobilize them in the mud. ''What is this mud?'' ''Why can''t wee out of it?'' ''Leader, I am unable to hold my bow properly.'' The patrol elves were stuck in the mud shots released by the pentapus which instantly made them unable to fight. Even though he decided to force his way into the Elf territory, Ajax didn''t want to kill anyone because he needed to get their acknowledgement in the end. Moreover, he wanted to get more understanding of the Elves and he would get it after meeting with their Queen. ''I hope she will not be unreasonable like her guards.'' Rxing on the back of the five elemental spirit beast, Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Whistle'' As the spirit beast moved forwards, Flinar took out a whistle and blew it. ''Huh? Looks like he is sending some kind of signal to others. Good. It will help me in which direction I should go.'' Ajax was not worried because ording to the information he collected, there were no emperor realm cultivators in this region. "Who are you?" However, just as he thought, an emperor''s aura shot from the distance as a voice resounded in the entire region. ***** Can we reach 1000 Golden Tickets this month? Chapter 1430 Lesser World Tree, Queen Siora Chapter 1430 Lesser World Tree, Queen Siora¡¡¡¡"An Emperor realm cultivator?" Ajax was shocked by the aura because there should be no emperor realm cultivators in the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. "Who are you?" The voice resounded in the entire region once again. ''Master, I am¡­scared.'' The five elemental spirit beast below Ajax could not help but be scared when it heard the voice. ''Huh?'' Ajax frowned because regr emperor realm cultivators would not make his contracted spirit beast shiver like that. So, he came to the conclusion that the aura belongs to a powerful Emperor realm cultivator. "It''s okay. There is no need to fear." Ajax tried to calm the spirit beast and silently thought, ''It looks like my title ''Emperor of the Purple Stone world'' is cancelling the pressure.'' Even though Ajax had less cultivation than the five elemental spirit beast, he didn''t feel anything even under such powerful pressure and he also knew exactly why. "My name is Ajax and I am here to discuss something with the Queen of this territory." With a calm look, Ajax replied. ''Huh? He is just a low-level king realm cultivator; however, he is still able to remain calm under my Emperor aura'' Siora, the queen of the elves was surprised when she saw Ajax reply to her with a calm look. ''Also, there is something mysterious about him.'' At the same time, other than Ajax''s cultivation, Queen Siora was unable to see through Ajax, making her a little curious. "Flinar, guide the guest to the ''World Tree''." Soon, she came out of her thoughts and ordered the leader of the Patrol Elves to guide Ajax into the territory. ''What? Guide him to the World Tree?'' Flinar and other patrol elves were shocked by their Queen''s words. "Yes, your highness." Nevertheless, Flinar didn''t dare to ck as he hurriedly guided Ajax. Along the way, Flinar apologized to Ajax and remained polite until they reached a huge tree. ''Woah'' Looking at the beautiful tree in front of him, Ajax could not help but be awestruck. ''Ding, Tree name:- Lesser World Tree. Grade:- Legend Effects:- 1) Increases the reproduction rate of all elves in the world. 2) Increases the cultivation speed of all elves in the world. 3) Produces a Lesser world fruit which contains treasures, weapons, and even a special elf. Without any hesitation, Ajax checked the information on the huge tree in front of him. ''So, the lives of the elves are directly connected to this lesser world tree.'' After seeing the effects of the huge tree, Ajax realized how important this tree was for them. ''Wait a second! What if I have this tree in my normal elf world? All the elves in that world would receive massive benefits. Can I move it to my normal elf world?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something that made his heart race. Currently, in his normal elf world, there were less than 1000 elves and the resources in that world were even more terrible. As for the essence of nature, it was not evenparable to the grade 1 elemental paradise. However, if he could move this less world tree, not only his elves receive a good boost in their cultivation but the poption would also grow. "This is the world tree and Queen Siora was born from it." Seeing that Ajax was staring at the huge tree, Flinar informed him about the tree. "Born from it?" Ajax raised his brows and asked him about it. "Yes. Once every hundred years, this tree will bear a fruit called ''World fruit''. Our Queen from that fruit with a cultivation of the Emperor realm. Isn''t that awesome?" Flinar was excited to inform Ajax about the birth of the Emperor. "What? Born with an Emperor realm cultivation?" Ajax was shocked to the core as it was his first time hearing that someone was born with such high cultivation. ''In the outside world, cultivators are risking their lives just to reach the King realm and the queen of the elves born with an Emperor realm cultivation? Where is the fairness in this universe?'' Ajax bitterly smiled as he replied, "It''s great." "Even though you got permission from the queen, don''t you dare show any disrespect to her." Flinar smiled at Ajax''s acknowledgement; however, he didn''t forget to warn Ajax not to show any disrespect to Queen Siora. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head casually and silently thought in his head, ''It depends on her.'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, a door on the trunk opened and the familiar voice resounded, "Enter" "Go." Flinar lightly pushed Ajax as he asked him to enter the door. ''They are not nning to kill me, are they?'' Ajax frowned for a moment; however when he remembered that Elves would never kill a guest that was invited by them. Since the Queen of the elves invited him into the world core, Ajax was not scared that she might kill him. ¡­.. Inside the world tree, ''Woah'' The moment Ajax entered the world tree, he was shocked by the pure essence of nature that hit him. ''The essence of nature inside the world tree isparable to grade 5 Elemental paradise.'' Ajaxpared it with the grade 5 Elemental paradise. That''s how pure the essence of nature is inside the world tree. There was nothing inside the world tree; other than a shining green coloured bed that caught his eye. On that bed, a young woman who was around 25 years old sat and looked at Ajax with a curious look in her eyes. The woman from earlier would pale inparison to the woman sitting on the bed. Her pure white face with a tinge of greenish cheeks made her look even more beautiful. Her long green coloured hair was touching the bed and the in green coloured long gown made her look like she didn''t care much about fancy clothes. Nevertheless, that didn''t decrease her beauty even a bit. ''That bed.'' Nevertheless, for Ajax, even though the woman looked attractive, the shining bed she was sitting on looked even more attractive. ''Ding, Item name:- Spiritprehension bed. Grade:- Legend. Effect:- Cultivating on this bed will increase 1) Cultivation speed by ten times. 2) Lawprehension speed by five times. 3) Soulprehension speed by three times. Information:- A treasure that came out of the Lesser World Fruit. ''What?'' After reading the effect of the shining green-coloured bed, Ajax was shocked because it was a valuable item that even Emperor realm cultivators yearn for. ''This lesser world tree is making me more and more greedy.'' Not only was it useful for this normal elf world, but it would also give him the world fruit every century. Even though it would take 100 years for the lesser world tree to bear a lesser world fruit, Ajax knew he could lessen the fruit-bearing time with suitable resources. "Have you never seen a woman in your life?" However, when Queen Siora saw Ajax staring at her, she was annoyed and scoffed at him. "Huh?" Only when he heard those words did Ajaxe out of his thoughts and he was surprised by Queen Siora''s words. "Sorry. I was surprised to see that shining bed." Nevertheless, he understood that Queen Siora misunderstood him and tried to clear it. "I know. I know." Obviously, Queen Siora didn''t believe Ajax''s words. "..." Ajax was speechless at Queen Siora and didn''t bother to clear the misunderstanding because he was afraid that the misunderstanding would only grow if he tried it. "Let''s discuss the main reason why I am here." Without wasting any time, Ajax directly came to the main point. "Go on." Queen Siora nodded her head with a cold look on her face. "Do you have any nt essence? I will pay the equivalent price in exchange for the nt essence?" Ajax came to this region for two things. One, he wanted to know whether the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' have the nt essence. So, he asked about the nt essence. "No." Queen Siora raised her brows when she heard ''nt essence''; however, she didn''t even think much as she instantly replied to Ajax. Just like Ajax, Queen Siora also needed the nt essence to nurture the ''Leser world tree''. The more she nurtures the Lesser world tree, the more powerful she would be and the benefits her people receive would also berger. So, even if she had any nt essence, Queen Siora would not give it away to Ajax just like that. "Okay." Ajax was not keeping high hopes on the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' to gather the nt essence. So, he was not disappointed. "Now, the second thing I havee here to gain your acknowledgement." Ajax quietly summoned the Emperor spirit beast pendant and was ready to use it the moment Queen Siora attacked him. "Huh? Acknowledge you as what?" Queen Siora asked with a frown. "As your master." Ajax replied without any fear in his words. "My Master? Do you mean you want to marry me?" All of a sudden, Queen Siora''s aura rose as she coldly asked Ajax. "Marry? You?" Ajax was shocked when he heard those and hurriedly tried to exin to her, "No. I am not telling you to marry me. I am just asking you to acknowledge me as your master." "Both are the same." However, Queen Siora didn''t calm down; instead, she became even more furious. "How can both be the same?" Even though Queen Siora was furious and released her full cultivation pressure on him, she was not attacking him. However, because of his title, Ajax didn''t feel any pressure. So, he didn''t bother using the pendant and asked her. "I am going to kill you." Queen Siora said in a low and condensed voice, making Ajax didn''t doubt she was lying. Chapter 1431 Marriage with Queen Siora? Chapter 1431 Marriage with Queen Siora?¡¡¡¡''Damn it.'' Looking at the angry elf queen who was about to attack, Ajax injected the essence of nature into the Emperor spirit beast pendant. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he injected it, amon-looking eagle appeared in front of him andnded on his shoulder. ''Huh? Is this an Emperor spirit beast?'' Ajax didn''t sense any cultivation from the eagle on his shoulder and frowned. "Haha¡­do you think that little birdie can save you?" Looking at the summoned spirit beast on Ajax''s shoulder, Queen Siora could not help but scoff at him. ''Did I get fooled again?'' Earlier, the bloodline awakening potion he received from his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror didn''t work and now the pendant was also the same. "Do something." Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want to believe that his master fooled him and asked the eagle on his shoulder to do something. ''Screech'' As soon as Ajax finished his words, the eagle stretched its wings and released a loud screech. ''Putong'' When Queen Siora heard that screech, she could not help falling to her knees. "Huh? What just happened?" Siora looked at the eagle on Ajax''s shoulder with a shocked look. ''Screech'' To her reply, the eagle released another screech and an unknown pressure descended onto her which pressed her to the ground. ''Damn it¡­what is that spirit beast? What cultivation level did it achieve to be that powerful.'' She was shocked and her head was filled with many questions. "So, what do you say? Do you acknowledge me as your master?" Ajax asked her with a calm look. "No¡­I can''t marry you unless my mother approves of you." Gritting her teeth, Queen Siora replied to Ajax. One could sense the traces of fear in her voice. "Damn it¡­how many times should I tell you. I just want you to acknowledge me as your master." Ajax facepalmed as he replied, "As for your marriage, you can marry anyone you like." "Mother, please help me." However, Queen Siora didn''t listen to Ajax as she called her mother for help. "Your mother?" Ajax frowned because ording to Flinar, Queen Siora was born from the lesser world tree. ''Wait a second¡­since she was born from the lesser world tree, the mother must be the tree, right?'' All of a sudden, Ajax realized who the mother of Queen Siora was. "Who dares to bully my daughter?" In the next second, an angry female voice resounded in the tree chamber and hundreds of sharp tree branches appeared around Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Those sharp tree branches didn''t give any time for Ajax to react as they directly attacked him. ''Screech'' However, the eagle on his shoulder released a screech that turned all the iing sharp tree branches into dust. ''Cool'' Ajax was surprised to see that the eagle could do such things without even moving from its ce. ''I wonder how powerful it is.'' Even though he knew that the spirit beast had an Emperor realm cultivation, it was able to suppress Queen Siora who was also a powerful Emperor realm cultivation just from its screech. So, of course, he was curious about the true strength of the eagle on his shoulder. ''Brat, I can only help you for another two minutes. Do you want me to kill the woman and the tree?'' A cold voice resounded in Ajax''s head. "No" Ajax could guess that voice belonged to the eagle on his shoulders and when he heard those words, he unconsciously denied it. What Ajax wanted was not to kill Queen Siora, he wanted her to acknowledge him as the master. As long as she acknowledges him, his mission to be the leader of the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' would be fulfilled and he would gain full control over the Five Elemental World. "Who are you?" The tree''s voice once again resounded in the tree chamber; however, this time, it was not angry; instead, it had a slight fear and worry. "I have already conquered the three regions of the Five elemental world and this is thest region I want to conquer." Ajax cleared his throat and started exining everything to the lesser world tree. "So, if your daughter doesn''t acknowledge me as your master, then I could only kill everyone." Even though Ajax didn''t n to kill anyone from the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'', he threatened the world tree and Queen Siora who was on the ground. "Th..this is¡­" The lesser world tree was surprised by Ajax''s words as it could not finish her words. "Now, tell me whether your daughter is going to acknowledge me as her master or not?" Ajax could tell that the threat was working much better than he imagined. So, he decided to strike the iron while it was still hot. "I don''t have any problem with Siora acknowledging you as your master; however, she is only 15 years old. Can you please wait for 5 years to marry her?" The tree''s voice seemed happy as she asked Ajax to wait for 5 years. Since Ajax was so young and had a powerful spirit beast protecting him, the lesser world tree thought Ajax must have a powerful background. ''As long as I receive help from such a powerful family, I can reach new heights along with Siora and the other elves.'' This was what the lesser world tree thought when it agreed to Ajax''s words. "What?" When Ajax heard the initial words of the tree, he was happy; however, he was shocked by thest part of its lines. "I am not talking about marriage. I am just talking about the acknowledgement of a master. Why do you keep on rting it to marriage?" Ajax shouted at Queen Siora and the lesser world tree. "In our race, acknowledging a master is equivalent to marrying that person. Moreover, you need to be the King of the elves if you want other elves to follow you." The world tree''s voice resounded in the tree chamber as it continued to exin. "Since you are not an elf, you could only be a part of our race by marrying someone and if you want to be a King, then you have to marry the queen of the elves." "What?" Ajax was shocked and looked at Queen Siora before thinking, ''No wonder she was angry when I asked her to acknowledge me as her master.'' ''Also, what''s with her age? She is only 15 years old? Who will believe that?'' Queen Siora looked to be in her early twenties. So, Ajax found it hard to believe. Nevertheless, Ajax believed it because he knew Queen Siora born from the lesser world tree. "Sorry. You misunderstood my intentions. I just want this ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' under my control." Ajax shook his head. "Okay then. You can only kill us then. Without the acknowledgment from my daughter, you can never gain control over the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''." How could the lesser world tree miss an opportunity of bing more powerful by making Ajax his son-inw? Moreover, even though it could sense that Ajax killed so many beings, it felt Ajax was not the type to kill someone without a reason. So, it decided to gamble on its life along with the rest of the elves in the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods''. ''Huh?'' Hearing the tree''s words, both Ajax and Queen Siora were shocked. Ajax didn''t expect the lesser world tree would directly say that he could only get the territory by marrying Queen Siora who looked mature but was only 15 years old. As for Queen Siora, she didn''t expect that her mother would agree to the human condition. Nevertheless, she remained silent and looked at Ajax with mixed emotions as to what she was thinking in her head, only she knew. "Go ahead and kill everyone in the territory. Without us, the five elemental wor would be destroyed too." Ajax stated that the reason why he wanted her daughter to acknowledge him as her master was to get full control over the Five elemental world. So, finally, the tree used that same reason to threaten Ajax. "I agree." All of a sudden, Ajax nodded his head agreeing to the world tree''s words. ''What the hell?'' However, in the next second, Ajax cursed because his body agreed to the world tree''s words on its own. "Haha¡­I knew you can''t resist the beauty of my daughter." However, the world tree didn''t know that Ajax truly doesn''t mean those words. Nevertheless, even if she found out, she would ignore it as she already decided to marry Siora to Ajax. "Siora, do you like him?" Next, the tree voice asked Siora who stood up from the ground and looked at Ajax with aplicated look on her face. "Since mother wants me to marry him, Of course, I don''t have any problem." To Ajax''s shock, Queen Siora also agreed without any hesitation. ''What?'' Ajax shook his head and wanted to tell him something; however, he heard Siora continue speaking. "However, I can allow him to touch me when he is more powerful than me." Queen Siora''s cold voice resounded in the tree chamber. "Of course. Do you think he will not be powerful in the future? Before the official marriage date, he would defeat you without any problem." The tree''s happy voice resounded in the tree chamber. ''They are walking about my marriage and my father is stopping me from talking.'' From the moment he lost control of his body and agreed to the marriage with Quen Siora, Ajax was unable to speak. And he knew who was doing it. So, he could only listen to the conversation between the tree voice and Queen Siora with a helpless smile. Chapter 1432 Soul rings, Engagement Chapter 1432 Soul rings, Engagement¡¡¡¡''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the mission ''Conquer the Ancient Evergreen Woods'' ''Ding, The host has sessfully conquered all four regions of the ''Five elemental world''. ''Ding, The host can now enter the core realm of the five elemental world to leave its sprint imprint to be the owner of the world. As Ajax was helplessly listening to the conversation between the lesser world tree and Queen Siora, he received a series of system notifications. ''What the¡­Iplete the mission just like that?'' Ajax didn''t expect that he alreadypleted the mission just by agreeing to marry Siora. ''System, it was not me who agreed it was my father who took control of my body.'' Ajax tried to exin the situation to the system; however, the system as always didn''t bother to listen to his words. ''Brat, you are already sixteen and since the lesser world tree said you have to marry that girl after five years, you will be 21. So, what are you worried about?'' Instead of the system, it was his father who replied with a question. ''Also, everyone dies to marry an elf and why are you being like this? Are you really my son?'' Vaugh berated Ajax and asked him to quietly marry her. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at his father''s words and looked at Siora who was a top-notch beauty without a doubt. ''Wait a second! Do you like someone else?'' Suddenly, Vaugh realized something and asked Ajax. ''N-no.'' However, Ajax shook his head. ''Then what is your problem?'' Vaugh asked. ''Nothing.'' ''So, you don''t have any problem with marrying her, right?'' ''Also, do you not want to be the owner of the Five elemental world?'' ''Moreover, aren''t you nning to have your own lesser world tree in your normal elf world?'' ''If you don''t want any of these, you can simply reject it.'' As soon as he finished his words, Vaugh released the control over Ajax''s body and let Ajax do what he wanted to do. ''...'' When he thought about it, Ajax felt there were no problems for him to marry Siora. Actually, he was the one who would benefit the most if he married Siora. Not only would he get a beautiful elf as a wife but he would also get other things. ''I don''t have any problem.'' Finally, Ajax decided to marry Siora. So, he replied to his father that had no problem. ''That''s how my son should be.'' Hearing that Ajax didn''t have any problem, Vaugh became happy. "Young Ajax, these are the rings made out of my branches. Please exchange them in front of me and they will connect you for the rest of your life." Two shining wooden rings floated in front of Ajax and the tree''s voice resounded in the tree chamber. ''Father, why don''t I exchange the rings after I found my mother?'' Looking at the rings floating in the mid-air, Ajax didn''t pick one of them; instead, he asked his father. ''Your mother would be happy if she found out you were married to a beautiful girl.'' Vaugh replied to Ajax as he continued, ''Moreover, if you put a grandson or granddaughter in her hands when you meet your mother, she would be over the moon.'' ''Father, can I ask you something?'' Ajax could tell that his father was not lying; however, he had a question. ''Go on. If it is rted to marriage stuff, I can give you perfect answers.'' Vaugh replied in a confident tone. ''Ahem¡­I am just curious, do I have any step-brothers or step-sisters?'' Ajax hesitated a little, however, he was still able to ask that question. Seeing how encouraging his father was regarding marriage, Ajax doubted that his father might have multiple wives. In this world, having multiple wives was not a big thing. As long as you have money and power, the cultivators would marry more than a dozen or even more wives. Since his father was an emperor realm cultivator and the emperor of the Purple stone world, Ajax would not be shocked even if heard his father had a dozen wives. ''Brat, what do you think of your father? I am absolutely loyal to my wife and I didn''t even dare to see other women in front of your mother.'' When he heard Ajax''s question, Vaugh became a little serious as he replied in a proud tone. ''What about when my mother was not around?'' Even though he didn''t have many interactions with his father, Ajax could not believe his father''s words. Moreover, he was very fast in reply as though he had something to worry about. ''I am feeling weak. I will go back to the slumber.'' Vaugh chose to retreat using ''Weakness'' as an excuse. ''I knew it.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and shook his head. "Young Ajax, exchange the rings." Seeing that Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the lesser world tree reminded him about the rings. "Oh, sorry." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax took a ring whereas the other one was taken by Siora. ''Ding, Item name: Soul rings (Male and Female) Grade: Legend Effect: 1) The wearers canmunicate over long distances even when they were worlds apart. Note: No barrier can stop theirmunication. 2) If one of them dies, their soul will be instantly teleported into the other body where he or she can reconstruct a new body. Information: An item born from the Lesser world fruit along with Queen Siora. Soon, the information regarding the two green-coloured wooden rings appeared in front of Ajax''s eyes, making him pleasantly surprised. ''This lesser world tree is only at Legend grade; however, it can produce other legend grade items like cabbages.'' Ajax silently thought and picked the ring that showed ''Female'' in the system appraisal before putting it on Siora''s finger. ''Huh? He can tell the difference between the two rings.'' The world tree was shocked when it saw Ajax pick the right ring and thought, ''As I expected, he is definitely not a normal cultivator.'' Chapter 1433 Emperor of the Worlds Chapter 1433 Emperor of the Worlds¡¡¡¡''I finished my engagement just like that? And Queen Siora is my fiancee.'' Ajax was sitting on the chair as he muttered to himself and from time to time he took nces at his fiancee. "Even though we are engaged, I will cancel the marriage if you can''t be powerful." Seeing that Ajax was looking at her, Queen Siora replied in a calm voice. Compared to before, Queen Siora''s attitude towards Ajax changed a lot. Since her mother approved of Ajax, Queen Siora didn''t have any reason to hate Ajax. However, she already stated that she would cancel the marriage if Ajax didn''t be powerful enough to defeat her. "O-okay." To Ajax, defeating Queen Siora was not a big issue. If he used all his trump cards right now, he might even defeat her; however, Ajax felt there was no need to go to that extent. Moreover, she would be his wife in the future. So, if he defeats her now, she might not feel good about it. ''I will defeat her after I be the Emperor realm cultivator.'' Getting defeated by an Emperor realm cultivator was much better than getting defeated by a low-level king realm cultivator. At that time, even if he defeated her, she could easily ept the defeat. ''Young Ajax, don''t mind her words. Even though she said those words, she had already epted you as her husband the moment I approved of you.'' Suddenly, Ajax heard the lesser world tree''s voice in his head which made him pleasantly surprised. ''So that''s the reason why I was able toplete the mission that early.'' Ajax still didn''t understand why his mission waspletely so early. He would have not thought much about it if he got the system notification after exchanging the rings; however, he got the missionpletion system notifications even before that. ''All she wants to have a powerful husband. So that she can rely on him when things get difficult in this territory.'' ''Huh? Things will get difficult in this territory?'' Ajax raised his brows when he heard the tree''s voice in his head. ''Yes. Recently, more and more cultivators from the other worlds are entering the ''Ancient Evergreen Woods'' to kidnap the elves from this territory. Before I can act, those otherworldly cultivators are able to kidnap one or two elves and escape from this world.'' ''Huh? Kidnapping? Don''t tell me, they are turning the kidnapped elves into ves.'' Elves, both men and women, were known for their beauty and bodies. So, they were turned into ves and sold to the powerful races. Previously, he learned from the elf fairy of his normal elf world, that all the elves from that world were hunted, enved and sold. ''Yes. That might be the reason.'' The tree''s voice replied to Ajax, agreeing with his words. ''Hm'' Ajax thought about something for a while and replied, ''Looks after my body.'' As soon as he said those words, Ajax entered the core realm of the Five elemental world in his spirit consciousness form. ''Huh?'' The world tree didn''t understand what Ajax meant; however, when he realized that Ajax entered the core realm of the five elemental world, she was shocked. ''Even the cultivators from powerful families could not enter the core realm of the world that easily. He is more mysterious than I thought.'' The lesser world tree silently thought. ''What is he nning to do?'' As the lesser world tree, she could see the insides of the core realm. So, she could see Ajax walking towards the five coloured world core and curiously thought. ''What? He is leaving his sprint imprint on the world core.'' The world tree was shocked when she saw Ajax drop a blood drop on the world core. ''Wait a second¡­how can he bleed when he is in the spirit consciousness form?'' In the next second, she was once again shocked when she remembered that Ajax was in the spirit consciousness form. ''How can he bleed in his spirit consciousness form?'' ''Can he be the owner of the Five elemental world?'' The lesser world tree had so many questions as she waited to see whether Ajax could really leave his spirit imprint on the world core. ¡­ ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully leaving your spirit imprint on the world core of the Five elemental world. ''Ding, The host''s titles ''Protector''and ''Emperor'' will be merged together and be ''Emperor of the Worlds''. ''Ding, Please check the effects of the new title [Emperor of the Worlds]. On the other hand, Ajax had already received a series of system notifications, informing him that he had sessfully left his spirit imprint on the world. Moreover, his simr titles merged together to be one title, which raised his curiosity. ''Let''s see the benefits of this new title.'' Just the name of the title was enough for Ajax to tell it was a powerful title. So, he didn''t waste any time checking the effects. ''Ding, Title name: Emperor of the Worlds (Special). Effects: 1) Instant teleportation between the worlds owned by the host. Note:- It can be done only once a day. 2) Peak Emperor realm battle prowess when the host is inside any of his worlds. 3) The host can create Emerpor grade barriers around his worlds with a simple thought but if the barrier of a world gets destroyed, the host has to wait for a day before creating it again. 4) Full control over his worlds and nothing escapes his eyes. ''Ding, World owned by the host: 1) Grey Dwarf World (normal). 2) Forest Elf World (normal). 3) Purple Stone World (normal). 4) Five Elemental World (normal) (speical-type). ''Woah'' Looking at the effects of his new title [Emperor of the Worlds], Ajax was excited. Even though there were not many changes in the effectspared to his previous two titles [Protector] of the Grey Dwarf world and [Emperor] of the Purple Stone world. ''However, it has a new effect.'' The new effect was the main reason why Ajax was so excited because from now on, he could instantly teleport between worlds. Chapter 1434 Level 5 Normal Grade World Chapter 1434 Level 5 Normal Grade World¡¡¡¡Currently, Ajax had to use the teleportation circles in the Purple stone world to travel to his other worlds. Right now, if he wanted to go to the Grey dwarf world, he had to first go back to the Purple stone world and only then, he could enter the Grey dwarf world. However, with the new effect of his title ''Emperor of the worlds'', Ajax didn''t have to worry about going through all the hassle as he could instantly teleport himself to the world he wanted to enter. ''Even though I can use it only once a day, it is very useful in case of emergencies.'' The limitation of that instant teleportation didn''t bother Ajax in the slightest bit. ''Swoosh'' "Master" As Ajax was feeling satisfied with his new title ''Emperor of the worlds'', a small fairy appeared in front of Ajax and respectfully called him. She was having five pairs of small wings behind her and she was wearing a white coloured short gown with five flowers of different colours on it. ''World spirit of the Five elemental world.'' Ajax didn''t have to think much as he knew who that fairy was. "Yes, master. I am the world fairy of the five elemental world." The small fairy looked half beast and half-elf, making Ajax think, ''It looks like the appearance of the world spirit resembles the residents of the world?'' Except for the Grey dwarf world, Ajax had seen the world spirits of his remaining worlds and they all resembled the beings living on that world. "My duty is to inform the master about the progress of world development." While flying in front of Ajax, the world spirit informed its main duty to Ajax. "I know." Ajax was not new to this as he already owned three worlds and met two world spirits. ''I think I need to use the help of the world spirits for the next three months.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he asked the world spirit, "Briefly inform me at what level the five elemental world is at?" Nevertheless, in the past, Ajax didn''t have to take the world spirit''s help in learning about the progress of the world because his system informed him about those things. However, now, the system was under the upgrade and other than a few system features, he could not even talk to the system. So, he decided to take the help of the world spirit to learn the current level of the five elemental world and how to fasten the speed of its progress. "Huh?" The world spirit was surprised to hear Ajax''s words and thought, ''It looks like the master already knew about the world grades and levels.'' "Master, the world core is steadily getting the energy from the Lesser world tree and because of it, the world core is upgraded to level 5 in the normal grade." The world spirit informed the current level of the world and the reason why it was progressing faster. ''As expected of the lesser world tree. Not only does it provide benefits to all the elves but it also helps the world core.'' Ajax found another reason why he wanted a lesser world tree for his normal grade elf world. ''If a lesser world tree was able to give these many benefits, I wonder how many benefits a real World Tree will give?'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax could not help but imagine growing a real world tree in all his worlds. However, even the greater worlds didn''t have a world tree. So, the chances of him finding a world tree were even less. ''Since I was able to find the ''Tree of blessing'', I might as well find it.'' Nevertheless, that didn''t stop Ajax from dreaming about it. Moreover, he even backed his thoughts with the ''Tree of blessing''. Even though the ''Tree of blessing'' falls short in front of the world tree, Ajax never expected to find a seed of the ''Tree of blessing'' until he found it. So, he was hoping he would be once again lucky enough and find a world tree. Even if he found a seed of a world tree, Ajax would be very happy about it. "Level 5, Normal Grade. Not bad." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax nodded. The worlds are ssified into three grades. They are Small, Normal and Greater worlds. Each of these grades is once again ssified into three levels depending on the number of Emperor realm cultivators that the world has. They are Low, Mid and High levels. However, there was another ssification depending on the power of the world core and it was the most important thing for a world core to break into the next grade. In this ssification, each grade was ssified into ten 10 levels, from level 1 to level 10. "So, are there any special treasures born after the world core upgraded to level 5?" In the next second, Ajax asked the world spirit about the treasure. That''s right! Whenever a world core breaks through its level or grade, a natural treasure would be born. If it was a grade breakthrough, the natural treasure would be heaven-defying that makes even the emperor realm cultivators go crazy. As for the level breakthrough, it would be a valuable treasure; however, it might not make the powerful emperor realm cultivators go crazy. ''However, I am not an emperor realm cultivator. So, even if it was a treasure from the level breakthrough, it will be an invaluable treasure for me.'' Ajax didn''t look down on any of the natural treasures and he would be making good use of all the treasures. "The natural treasure that formed this time is a Heaven grade item ''Comprehension fruit''. It can be only used toprehend the things below the King realm. I don''t think it will be useful for the master." The world spirit informed himabout the treasures and at the same time, she didn''t forget to remind its limitations. "It''s perfect for me. Let''s go and pick it up." Chapter 1435 Lesser World Tree Wants To Host An Engagement Party Chapter 1435 Lesser World Tree Wants To Host An Engagement Party¡¡¡¡Items that could increase theprehension ability were rare. Even if the boost was temporary, it was still very rare. However, for the Emperor realm cultivators, a heavenly gradeprehension fruit was not very useful because theirprehension speed would be much greater than what aprehension fruit could temporarily provide them. As for King realm cultivators, even though it was not very useful in increasing their cultivation, they could use it to speed up the progress of their cultivator''sws if they have any. That''s right! Ajax was nning to use thatprehension fruit to increase the level of his cultivator''sw ''Void ofher''. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, he disappeared from the core realm and appeared in the tree chamber. ''Huh?'' The world spirit got confused when she heard Ajax''s words; however, she still followed Ajax out of the core realm. ... ''Holy god of nature. He was able to leave his spirit imprint on the world core and sessfully got acknowledged by the world spirit.'' ''I am not seeing things, right?'' On the other hand, the world tree who was noticing everything that was happening inside the core realm was shocked by Ajax''s actions. "Congrats, son-inw for bing the owner of the ''Five elemental world''." Nevertheless, suppressing her shock, the lesser world tree congratted Ajax with a happy tone. "What? He became the owner of the Five elemental world?" As for Queen Siora, she was shocked to hear those words and looked at Ajax with an unbelievable look. Of course, she knew how one could be the owner of the world. In the past, she tried to enter the core realm; however, no matter how much she tried, she was unable to enter, making her temporarily give up on bing the emperor of the world. So, when she heard that Ajax, who was only a low-level king realm cultivator was able to be the owner of the Five elemental world, she could not help but be shocked. "Thank you." Ajax didn''t want to sound rude as he still wanted something from the lesser world tree. "I heard there is aprehension fruit in this world. I will go and take a look." Ajax didn''t know that the world tree was listening to his conversation with the world spirit in the core realm. So, he was briefly informed about the treasure and wanted to get it. "Of course." The tree''s voice agreed and said, "Can you bring her out with you? Before youe back, I will make arrangements for the celebrations of your engagement and for bing the emperor of the world." "Oh¡­there is no¡­" "Son-inw, why don''t you invite some of your close friends and loyal subordinates for the party?" Before Ajax could tell anything, the lesser world tree interrupted his words and quickly sent him away. ''Huh? The lesser world tree can do like that?'' Ajax was shocked because he didn''t expect the lesser world tree to teleport him, the emperor of the five elemental world, to some random location. So, he asked the world spirit about it. ''Master, the five elemental world and the lesser world tree are in a symbiotic rtionship. So, if you want to suppress it, then you have to use your own strength.'' The world spirit silently transmitted its voice. Even though Ajax became the emperor of the five elemental world, the world tree could still have its own way and could not be suppressed by Ajax''s title. Because the reason for the five elemental spirit world''s growth waspletely linked with the lesser world tree. If there is no lesser world tree, there would be no normal grade five elemental world. It was the same for the lesser world tree. If not for the five elemental world nurturing it in its early stages, it would have not grown to its current level. ''Oh.'' After learning the special rtionship between the five elemental world and the lesser world tree, Ajax nodded in understanding. "Should I invite them?" Soon after, Ajax didn''t bother much about it as he thought about whether he should invite others from the five elemental world for tonight''s party. ''Let''s not disturb others from the other worlds. Only the cultivators from this world are enough.'' Everyone from the Purple stone world had entered into the secluded cultivation. So, he didn''t want to disturb them for his little engagement party toe all the way to the five elemental world. Nevertheless, he decided to invite the cultivators from the Five elemental world since it would not be a big issue for them. ''There is an¡­'' Soon, Ajax transmitted his voices to his contracted spirit beasts like Raweth, Snow, Sparrow, and Ghost and asked them to bring in the important people along with them. Ajax thought of using the party to establish a new order for the five elemental world where there would be no barriers between the regions. Previously, the four regions in the five elemental world didn''t trespass into other regions without permission. Moreover, they even killed each other for entering the territory even when the other party walked in by mistake. Ajax''s goal was to make all his worlds into Greater worlds and if they created walls between the regions, then the world would never be powerful. Moreover, any random Jack could enter the world and either destroy or invade the Five elemental world just like him. ''Even though there will be a barrier to prevent the otherwordly cultivators from entering the five elemental world, that doesn''t mean the residents of the world should not be united.'' Ajax knew it would not be easy for the new cultivators to enter the five elemental world to conquer them because currently, he is the emperor of the world. "Q-Queen Siora, let''s go." Ajax looked at his fiancee who was standing beside him without saying anything, he hesitated a little before holding her hand and teleported from the ce. As the emperor of the world, Ajax didn''t have any problem teleporting to any ce in the world and as long as he could hold the hands of others, he could even teleport them too. Chapter 1436 Dusk Mammoth Chapter 1436 Dusk Mammoth¡¡¡¡''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax, Queen Siora and the world spirit appeared on a mountain top. "Master, theprehension fruit is in there and it is guarded by an unevolved spirit beast." Pointing her finger at the cave on the mountain top, the world spirit informed Ajax. Even without her exnation, Ajax could sense a peak rank 6 spirit beast inside the cave along with a small tree. On the small tree, a crystalline fruit was hanging and the rank 6 spirit beast ''Dusk mammoth'' was eagerly waiting for the fruit to drop on its own. Since it was an unevolved spirit beast, it didn''t have much intelligence and only knew that it could eat the fruit as long as it fell to the ground. ''Ding, Item name: Comprehension fruit. Grade: Heavenly. Effect: Any cultivation technique or a cultivator''sw below the king grade can beprehended ten times faster than their usualprehension speed. Note:- The effectsts only for half a day. So, make full use of it. More information: The fruit has ripened and slowly started to lose its effect. Use it as soon as possible. ''The fruit has been long ripe and it has already started to lose its effects.'' Ajax shook and casually walked into the cave. Pawoo~ Seeing someone enter its cave without its permission, the Dusk mammoth let out an angry sound before rushing at Ajax. "Bow" A single word from Ajax was enough to make the huge Dusk mammoth onto its knees. "Because of yourck of intelligence, you are wasting the effect of this fruit." Ajax waved his hand a little and the green-coloured fruit hanging on the tree flew over to him. "I will take this fruit for you; however, since you guarded it with your life, I will not take advantage of you." While saying that, Ajax took out a small pill and a small ck-coloured stone from his inventory and tossed them at the Dusk mammoth. "You can use the pill to break through to the king realm and as for the stone, you can use it to increase the purity of your bloodline or to awaken a bloodline if you don''t have any." At the same time, he didn''t forget to mention the effects of the things he gave to the Dusk mammoth. Even though the Dusk mammoth hated Ajax for taking the fruit, its hate turned into respect when it heard the effects of the items the human tossed at it. Pawoo~ Despite an unevolved spirit beast, it had certain intelligence and knew how to be respectful. "I will give you a task. Can you do it?" Seeing that Dusk mammoth was more intelligent than the regr unevolved spirit beasts, he asked whether it was willing to do a work for him. Nods~ Without any surprise, the Dusk mammoth nodded its head in a humane manner. Since the other party was so powerful and resourceful, the Dusk mammoth knew it was finally its fortuitous encounter and it was none other than the human standing in front of it. So, it didn''t hesitate in nodding its head. "It looks like there are so many unevolved spirit beasts in this region. After you be a king realm spirit beast, make them your subordinates." Since the five elemental world had finally be his own world, Ajax wanted to increase the strength of the world internally. And the easiest way was to have control over the unevolved spirit beasts. Previously, Raweth and other contracted spirit beasts cleared all the unevolved spirit beasts in the Shixato wilds; however, he had changed a lot from that time along with his thinking. Not only would they fight to the death but they also have a crazy reproduction rate which he could use to increase his spirit beast army. ''If there are more spirit beasts in the five elemental world, I can always send them to my other worlds.'' Ajax didn''t worry about the overpoption of the spirit beasts as he already had four worlds under his control and in the future, he would be having even more worlds. Pawoo~ The Dusk mammoth excitedly nodded and it knew Ajax was asking it to be the leader of all the unevolved spirit beasts in the ''Five elemental worlds''. "Good. You can directly report to the five elemental spirit beast Pentapus." ''Rumble'' As soon as he mentioned Pentapus, the ground shook a little as Pentapus came out of the ground. Nod~ Looking at the five elemental spirit beast, the Dusk mammoth unconsciously felt an unknown fear; however, it still nodded its head. "Okay then. I will use theprehension fruit now. Don''t disturb me for the next 12 hours." Ajax said those words to the five elemental spirit beast and he was about to eat theprehension fruit; however, he was stopped by his fiancee Queen Siora. ''Huh?'' Ajax was confused and looked at her before saying, "Do you want to go back, Queen Siora?" "No." Queen Siora shook her head and replied after some hesitation, "You can use my bed to fully utilize the effects of theprehension fruit." ''Your bed?'' Ajax thought about the shining green-coloured bed in the tree chamber and when he thought about the effects of the bed, he was excited. "Is it okay to use your bed?" Nevertheless, Ajax controlled his excitement and asked her. "Since you are already engaged, you can use it. Moreover, it''s just a bed and you will be cultivating on your own. S-so, there is no need for you to be embarrassed." Queen Siora tried to act nonchnt; however, Ajax noticed she was the one who was shy. ''Cute'' Looking at the slight hint of redness on her face, Ajax could not help but say that in his head. "Okay, let''s go, Queen Siora." Ajax didn''t say much about it as held her hand once again to teleport back to the tree chamber. "Also, you don''t have to call me Queen, just Siora is fine." In a low voice, Siora informed him that calling her by just her name was okay. "Okay. Siora, let''s go." With a slight smile, Ajax teleported them to the tree chamber. Chapter 1437 Comprehending Void of the Nether Chapter 1437 Comprehending ''Void of the Nether''¡¡¡¡Inside the tree chamber, On the shining green-coloured bed, Ajax was sitting crossed-legged with his eyes closed. ''I hope it can at least reach level 3 for this cultivator''sw.'' Ajax didn''t keep high hopes on theprehension fruit because it was only a heaven grade item. After returning to the tree chamber, Ajax and Queen Siora didn''t talk much and Ajax used that moment of silence to eat the Comprehension fruit. As soon as he ate the fruit, Ajax started thinking about his level 1 cultivator''sw ''Void of theher'' and soon, he started understanding the main things about that cultivator''sw. ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sw ''Void of theher'' has reached level 2. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notification because he didn''t expect to reach level 2 for his cultivator''sw in just 15 minutes after he ate theprehension fruit. ''Did I underestimate the value of theprehension fruit?'' Ajax frowned for a moment; however, he soon realized the reason for such an insaneprehension speed. ''It is because of this shining bed. It has increased myprehension speed.'' That was the only possible reason Ajax could think of right now. ''Anyway, I should make use of this opportunity and increase my cultivator''sw as much as possible.'' Ajax knew how powerful this cultivator''sw ''Void of theher'' was. So, he wanted to transform into a cultivator''s soul as soon as possible. ''When that timees, even the emperor''s realm cultivators will temporarily weaken and I can easily kill them.'' He was in a good mood and didn''t waste any more time as he continued toprehend the secrets behind the ''Void of theher''. After 30 minutes, ''Level 2 achieved.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile when he received the system notification. He didn''t bother to waste his time checking the changes in his cultivator''sw; instead, he continued toprehend. After one hour, level 3 was reached. Two hours passed by and Ajax achieved level 4 and the speed at which he wasprehending the cultivator''sw increased. Even though hisprehension speed was increasing, the time taken to reach the next level was also increased because the higher the level of the cultivator''sw, the moreplicated the things would be. Time continued to pass and a total of seven hours passed by since Ajax consumed theprehension fruit. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for reaching level 5 in his cultivator''sw ''Void of theher''. ''Ding, The skill rted to the cultivator''sw is unlocked. Please check the cultivator''sw for more details. Finally, Ajax had reached level 5 of the cultivator''sw and unlocked the skill linked with thatw. ''Continue.'' There were still five hours left for theprehension fruit''s effect to disappear. So, he wanted to use the current momentum to break through to level 6 or even level 7, if possible. ¡­.. As Ajax wasprehending the cultivator''sw in the tree chamber, the three regions of the Five elemental world were racking their brains in finding a nice gift for Ajax at his engagement party. It was their first time attending Ajax''s party. Moreover, it was an engagement party that was only smallerpared to the marriage. So, they didn''t want to attend the party with some cheap gifts. For them, Ajax was an entity that changed their lives. For the three tribes of the Shixato wilds, Ajax was akin to God. Another thing was, that they want to leave a good impression on Ajax whenpared to the other tribes. So, of course, they were thinking a lot about it. "There is no need to rack our brains anymore." Once after racking their brains for seven hours, Raweth and the other tribe leaders understood something. So, everyone asked their tribe members to stop thinking much about it. "Why, tribe leader?" The elders and the grand elders of each tribe were confused about their tribe leader''s sudden change and asked about it. "No matter what we give Master Ajax, it was nothing useful in his eyes." Raweth and the other tribe leaders shook their heads as they bitterly answered, making the tribe members speechless. However, they agreed with their tribe leaders because they could not afford to gift Ajax. "So, what should we do, tribe leader? You can''t go empty-handed to Master Ajax''s engagement party." All the elders were worried that they looked bad in front of everyone. Moreover, they were also afraid that going empty-handed would make Ajax embarrassed in front of his other guests. "I know." Raweth nodded his head and continued, "That''s why I am thinking of entering the ''Ancient Ruins'' along with the other two tribe leaders." Raweth had already contacted Snow and Sparrow, who were also troubled just like him and instantly agreed to his suggestion. "But, tribe leader, after the death of the bird ancestor, the ancient ruins became an even more dangerous ce." "Yes, tribe leader. It will be very risky." The elders liked the suggestion; however, they were worried about the safety of their tribe leader. "In this world, the only way to increase our strength is by continuously going through the dangers." Raweth shook his head and continued, "Moreover, didn''t we n to explore the depths of the ''Ancient ruins'' after I became the king realm cultivator?" "Also, Snow and Sparrow will being with me. So, there is no need to worry about us as we could handle anything by working together." Raweth could see through their words and his heart warmed. Before meeting Ajax, even though everyone loved him on the surface, they all were not sincere and only did so because they feared the previous tribe leader. Right now, he could tell there were sincere in their emotions when they said something to him. "Okay then. I will go to the ancient ruins ande back in six hours. So, don''t worry." As soon as he finished his words, Raweth flew towards the ''Ancient ruins'' where Snow and Sparrow were already waiting for him. After his arrival, Ajax''s three contracted spirit beasts entered the ''Ancient ruins'' in search of something valuable. Chapter 1438 Trios Treasure Hunt (1) Chapter 1438 Trio''s Treasure Hunt (1)¡¡¡¡''Ancient ruins'' was a mysterious and the most dangerous ce in the Five elemental world. It was connected to the ancestors of the three bird tribes in the Shixato region and other than the descendants of those tribes, no one could enter the ''Ancient ruins''. So the tribes from the other regions didn''t bother to explore it because they would be killed the moment they step foot in the ''Ancient ruins''. "ording to the records, this ''Ancient ruins'' is just an entrance to the secret realm that contains all kinds of treasures that our ancestors hid for us." As they flew into the ''Ancient ruins'', Sparrow informed others while looking at the huge bird skeletons. "It is mentioned in my Fire crow tribe''s records also." Raweth nodded his head as he agreed with Sparrow''s words. "We have to enter that secret realm at any cost and find those treasures." As for Snow, she was determined to get the treasures that their ancestors stored for theter generations. "Wait a second." As they flew deeper into the ''Ancient ruins'', Raweth sensed something and hurriedly asked the other two to stop. "What is it, Raweth?" Snow checked their surroundings; however, she didn''t find anything wrong. "There is a sealing formation ahead." Since most of the cultivators learned at least one side profession other than cultivation, Raweh chose to learn formations and even reached a high level in it. "Can you break it?" It was not a secret among the three tribes regarding the side profession of Raweth and other tribe leaders. So, they asked whether Raweth could break it. "No. The formation is at emperor grade whereas I am not even a king grade formation master." Raweth shook his head. "Huh? Then our ancestors didn''t want us to enter that secret realm until we reached the emperor''s realm cultivators?" Snow and Sparrow frowned when they heard Raweth''s words because they wanted to give something good for their master''s engagement party. "Sigh¡­looks like we can''t get our hands on the treasures anytime soon." "We can ask our master to help us in entering the secret realm. You all know how he can make the impossible possible." Snow sighed whereas Sparrow suggested they take the master''s help. "Absolutely not." Both Raweth and Snow shouted at Sparrow at the same time. "..." Sparrow looked at them with a sheepish smile and replied, "I am joking." Actually, it was not that they wanted to take all the treasures for themselves; instead, they wanted to surprise Ajax with the treasures that their ancestors had hidden in the secret realm. When they learned about the treasures lying in the ''Ancient Ruins'', they thought to inform Ajax; however, after thinking a little more about it, they wanted to use their own effort to gain those treasures. After that, they could show those treasures to their master and surprise him. So, when they heard Sparrow suggest they take Ajax''s help to enter the Secret realm, Snow and Raweth were angry. "Wait a second." However, in the next second, Raweth noticed something and continued, "Looks like we can pass through this hurdle." ''What?'' Snow and Sparrow were pleasantly surprised. "Yes. But it will take at least one hour to make a small passage for us to pass through this formation without any harm." Raweth walked closer to a tree and started observing the runes on it. "Okay." Since they decided to explore the Ancient ruins ahead of their originally nned schedule, they don''t mind waiting an hour. Soon, Raweth put his skills of a formation master at work and slightly modified the runes on more than 10 trees. "Phew¡­it''s done." Raweth let out a sigh of relief after finishing his work. "Let''s go. Follow my steps and don''t look sideways unless you want to lose your mind." Even though Raweth was a little tired after working for an hour, he knew they didn''t have the luxury of wasting time. So, he soon entered a path he cleared that doesn''t affect them from the sealing formation. Behind him, Snow and Sparrow followed carefully in his footsteps and didn''t dare to look sideways just like Raweth suggested. "We can fly now since we are out of the formation." After walking for more than 10 minutes, Raweth informed them they could finally fly. "Let''s go." Without wasting any time, they flew deeper into the ''Ancient ruins''. ¡­ "I am feeling like my cultivation is sealed." "I am feeling the same." After flying for a few minutes, both Snow and Sparrow felt their cultivation was sealed and they hurriedlynded on the ground. "Huh? I can still sense my cultivation." However, there was no problem with Sparrow, making the other two heaved a sigh of relief. "Looks like I understood something from the time we spent in the Ancient ruins today." Both Snow and Raweth were more intelligent than Sparrow. So, she asked what they understood and why they were still calm despite their cultivation being sealed."Why?" "Our ancestors must have guessed that in the future, the three tribes might fight one another. So, they must have created three trials which could only be cleared when the three tribe leaders of the Shixato wilds worked together." Snow gave her guesses regarding the trials before entering the secret realm. "My Fire crow tribe excels in formation and you excel in fighting techniques." Raweth nodded his head in agreement with Snow as he told Sparrow about the speciality of their tribes. "So, are you telling me that now I have to fight?" Since theher ice sparrow tribe excels in fighting, Sparrow knew she had to find now because only her cultivation was still present whereas Snow and Raweth didn''t have any cultivation now. "But, who should I fight?" Sparrow checked her surroundings; however, she didn''t find any opponents to fight. ''Hello, little girl. So, you are enjoying all the benefits of being the tribe leader of my iceher sparrow tribe?'' All of a sudden, Sparrow heard an eerie voice in her head and saw someonee out of the ground. "Mother." Seeing the beings that came out of the ground, Sparrow unconsciously stepped backwards. Chapter 1439 Trios Treasure Hunt (2) Chapter 1439 Trio''s Treasure Hunt (2)¡¡¡¡''Mother? Who are you calling ''Mother''?'' ''I am not your mother. I killed your mother because she was on my way to bing the tribe leader." ''Also, you know why I adopted you, right?'' ''Because you have a good talent and I wanted to nurture you.'' ''You misunderstood I was nurturing you to be the next tribe leader after me; however, in truth, I nurtured you in order to absorb your talent and cultivation to be the first emperor realm spirit bird of the Shixato wilds.'' ''But, you joined hands with a human and killed me.'' ''I am going to torture you and send you to your mother for spoiling my ns.'' The undead being that came out of the ground was none other than Sparrow''s aunt Qeya, stepmother and also the previous tribe leader of the Iceher sparrow tribe. Qeya left a trauma for Sparrow. Whenever she thinks about Qeya, Sparrow loses all her strength and thinking ability. ''Huh? What''s happening to her all of a sudden?'' Both Snow and Raweth followed Sparrow''s line of sight; however, they didn''t see anything. "Sparrow, there is no one." Snow walked closer to Sparrow and wanted to help her because she could sense that Sparrow was shivering with fear. "Snow, please help me." "My stepmother is still alive." "She wants to kill me." However, Sparrow was not in a state to listen to their words as she asked Snow to save her. "Sparrow, whatever you are seeing, it is not true." Snow and Raweth tried to bring out her illusions; however, it didn''t work. Time continued to pass and in a sh, more than 30 minutes passed and Sparrow was haunted by the illusion. "Raweth, we can''t do anything now. It is her trial. She needs to ovee her fears, only then, she will be acknowledged by the ancestors." After seeing that nothing was helping Sparrow, Snow suggested Raweth that they should not try anything anymore. "But¡­" "I am confident in her. She can ovee her fears." With a confident look on her face, Snow replied to Raweth. ''...'' Raweth looked at Sparrow and remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. There was a particr reason why their cultivations were sealed and after trying everything, they understood that their ancestor didn''t want them to interrupt the trial of theher ice sparrow''s tribe leader. So, they both stood on the side and believed Sparrow was strong enough to ovee her fears. ''You are just like your mother. A coward who shivered with a single nce from me.'' ''I am going to kill you and the human who helped you in killing me back then. Only then, I can peacefully rest in my grave.'' Qeya was tightening her grip around Sparrow''s neck as she spoke those words. "What did you say?" All of a sudden, Sparrow turned into apletely different person and her eyes shone with purple light. "How dare you call my mother a coward. She didn''t want to fight you for the leadership of the tribe; however, you still killed her just because her chances were much higher than you in bing the tribe leader." The way Sparrow spoke also changed as she longer cried or begged Qeya to leave her alone. Instead, she pushed Qeya and freed herself from the tightening grip around Sparrow. "Also, don''t you dare think of putting your hands on my master. Otherwise, I will make you regreting out of your coffin." "Haha¡­so, your master is your weakness, then I should definitely¡­." Before Qeya could finish her words, theher energy rushed out of Sparrow''s body and surrounded Qeya''s body before devouring her. "As long as I am alive, you are not going to touch him." Sparrow looked at the ce where Qeya''s body disappeared and said with a determined look on her face. ''Thud'' However, in the next second, Sparrow lost consciousness. "Caught you." However, before she could fall to the ground, Snow caught her and replied, "I know you can ovee your fears." "Also, congrattions on bing a high-level king realm cultivator." From the other side, Raweth congratted her with a slight smile. That''s right! After oveing her fears, Sparrow breakthroughs in her cultivation and bes a high-level king realm cultivator. "Thank you." Sparrow replied in a weak tone as she closed her eyes to rest. "Let''s go. We don''t have much time left. We have to clear thest trial and enter the secret realm filled with treasures." Carrying Sparrow on her back, Snow flew into the air. "Swoosh" Raweth didn''t say anything because Snow was right because they didn''t have much time left. ¡­.. The deeper they flew into the ''Ancient ruins'', the eerier the environment became; however, they were also king realm cultivators. So, that didn''t scare them. After flying for a few minutes, they came to half because they noticed it was time for Snow''s trial. "Snow, it looks like your trial will be a little difficult. I don''t mind going back if you want." Looking at the scene in front of him, Raweth could not help but be a little scared. So, he suggested that even if Snow backs down, he would not mind anything. "No matter how difficult it is, I am going to pass the trial for the master''s sake." However, Snow was not the type to back down when encountering some tough situations. So, she replied to Raweth, she would definitely pass through thest trial before entering the secret realm. "Are you sure about it? It looks very dangerous." "When did I back down from anything that you said was dangerous?" With a slight smile on her face, Snow stretched her beautiful white wings and flew into the cascade of the lightning shes and the thunderbolts. Moreover, unlike the previous two trials, this trial had a row of words. In the beginning Raweth felt it was easy for Snow; however, after reading those words, he realized how dangerous the cascade of the lightning shes was. So, he continuously reminded Snow that they could back down. "Master, I am going to break through the King realm and be an Emperor realm cultivator." Snow muttered these words as she flew into the cascade of the lightning shes. Chapter 1440 Heavenly Lightning Chapter 1440 Heavenly Lightning¡¡¡¡In the tree chamber of the Lesser World Tree. As his three contracted spirit beasts were on a treasure hunt, Ajax was sitting on the cultivation bed and continued to cultivate his cultivator''sw. He didn''t know that Snow had entered a cascade of lightning shes to open the entrance to the secret realm. In order to open it, she had to be an Emperor realm cultivator. ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sw ''Void of theher'' has reached level 6. Ajax opened his eyes when he received the system notification. ''Even though there is still an hour left for theprehension fruit''s effects to disappear, I will stop cultivating it for today.'' He knew even if he had more than eight hours, he might be unable to reach level 7 for the ''Cultivator''sw'', not to mention, that one hour was barely enough to set his mind to think about ''Void of theher''. ''Anyway, I only hoped to reach level 3 but I reached level 6 thanks to this shining green-coloured bed.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and checked the effects and the skill unlocked for his cultivator''sw. ''Ding, Cultivator''sw: Void of theher. Current level: Level 6 Effect: Makes all the enemies within a 60-meter radius around the host enter into a trance, temporarily losing their will to fight. Skill: Eternal Despair. Eternal Despair: The user can select a particr target and send him/her/it into despair that puts the target in eternal sleep. Note:- The effect of the skill decreases if the target''s cultivation was higher than the user. Instead of eternal sleep, they would temporarily fall into a sleep and the time limit depends on the cultivation and the battle prowess of the target. ''Woah. This cultivator''sw is more deadly than I thought.'' Putting an enemy with the same cultivation as his into eternal sleep in a few seconds was much cooler than him killing the opponent. Moreover, his enemies would not even know what happened to him before they fell into an eternal sleep. ''I haven''t checked the information on my cultivator''s souls after bing the King realm cultivator. Let''s see how powerful they have been.'' After he became the King realm cultivator, Ajax didn''t get any chance to fight or time to check the information on his cultivator''s soul because he was busy settling the things in the Purple stone world. At the same time, he used to enter a demonic world around the Purple stone world to destroy. ''Ding, Cultivator''s soul: Fire devour. Effects: The user can devour all kinds of mes to temporarily increase his battle prowess. The increment in the battle prowess will be determined by the quantity and the quality of the mes. There is no range for this soul. As long as the user can see or sense or feel any fire source, he could devour them. Note: No skills. ''Ding, Cultivator''s soul: Heavenly lightning. Effect: The user can summon the heavenly lightning in a one-kilometer radius around him. It will not only increase his battle prowess for an hour but it will also decrease the battle prowess of his enemies within a one-kilometer radius. Skill: Heavenly tribtion. Heavenly tribtion: As long as the host selects a group of targets, he could summon a Heavenly tribtion. Note: The skills cost so much of the essence of nature. Please be careful when summoning a Heaven;y tribtion. Soon, two holographic screens appeared in front of Ajax, informing him about his two cultivator''s souls. ''I can devour any me source I can see, sense, and feel?'' Even though his first cultivator''s soul didn''t have any skill, he was satisfied with the slight modification in its effect. It was a known fact that almost all living beings produce heat in their bodies. Since the system stated that he could observe any heat source, Ajax looked at Queen Siora since she was the only one sitting in the tree chamber. ''Even though it was only a little, I can sense it.'' Ajax could sense slight heat energy from Queen Siora'' body and knew he could devour it with a single thought. ''I don''t know how it will affect her. I better use it on my enemies to test it.'' Ajax didn''t want to use his cultivator''s soul''s effect on his fiancee as he didn''t know the after-effects of devouring that little heart energy from the living beings'' bodies. "You woke up? Mother has arranged everything and everyone is waiting for you. Get ready and we will leave the chamber together." Seeing that Ajax opened his eyes, Queen Siora said in a low voice, obviously, she was still shy interacting with Ajax. ''Cute'' Even though Ajax also didn''t have many interactions with females, he was not ufortable with Siora anymore. Moreover, he felt cute whenever Queen Siora spoke in her cute voice. ... After a few minutes, "Queen Siora ising out with her fiance." Just as Queen Siora opened the door toe out of the tree chamber, the lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the entire ''Ancient evergreen woods''. Soon, Queen Siora and Ajax walked out of the tree chamber in the beautiful robes that the lesser world tree had prepared beforehand. "Congrattions" The leaders of the various departments of this elf territory and the tribe heads of the other regions of the five elemental world congratted the couple. Of course, Raweth and the other two tribe leaders were not present. ''Huh?'' Those three hold a special bond with Ajax and seeing that they were not present, Ajax frowned. "Thank you, everyone. Let''s enjoy the feast prepared by Mother World Tree." However, Queen Siora nudged him and thanked everyone who congratted them. "We are waiting for it." "Mother World Tree always prepared special foods on special asions and it''s been a while since I ate them." The elves were excited because they knew the value of the food. So, they hurriedly went to feast on the food. ''Damn it¡­these fools.'' Suddenly, Ajax muttered those words and informed Siora, "I wille back soon." ''Swoosh'' In the next second, he disappeared from his ce. Chapter 1441 Snows lightning tribulation Chapter 1441 Snow''s lightning tribtion¡¡¡¡Since Ajax left the spirit mark on Snow''s spirit consciousness, Ajax could sense if she was in any danger. When he didn''t find her in the crowd along with Raweth and Sparrow, he frowned and the sudden trigger from the spirit imprint made Ajax worried about Snow. Without any hesitation, Ajax tried to use his title ''Emperor of the Worlds'' to check where they were. However, there was some kind of interference that made him unable to see the location where Raweth and others were. ''Raweth, where are you?'' Ajaxmunicated with Raweth. ''W..we¡­.a..e¡­.a..t¡­.Ancient ru¡­ins.'' Even the voice transmission was having trouble; however, Ajax understood two words from Raweth''s reply and they were ''Ancient Ruins''. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he got the reply, Ajax informed Queen Siora and disappeared. ''What?'' Siora and the lesser world tree were shocked at the sudden disappearance; however, they could tell that he was seriously worried about something. ''Mother, there might be some problem. Should I go and help him?'' Siora silently transmitted her voice to the lesser world tree, asking whether she should go after Ajax. ''You are not yet married and you are already worried about him?'' The lesser world tree teased Siora before saying, ''However, you can''t follow him. If you both leave, then there is no meaning to this party. Also, don''t worry about him, no one can touch him in this world.'' ¡­ In front of the ''Anceint ruins'', ''Swoosh'' After disappearing from the elf territory, Ajax appeared in front of the ''Ancient ruins'' entrance. ''Huh? Why am I teleported here?'' Ajax frowned when he saw his teleportation destination was not the entrance of the ''Ancient ruins''; instead, at the ce where Raweth and Sparrow were. As for Snow''s location, Ajax was unable to find where she was. The only thing he was sure about Snow is, that she was in danger. "Teleport" ''Swoosh'' He tried to teleport to Raweth''s location again; however, he was unable to teleport. ''Swoosh'' "Master, you can''t enter the Ancient Ruins." Suddenly, the five elemental world''s world spirit appeared in front of Ajax and informed him that he was not allowed to enter the ''Ancient ruins''. "Huh? Why is that? Also, in the past, I entered once." Back when the three tribes held the contest, Ajax was able to enter the ''Ancient ruins'' without any problem. Moreover, right now, he became the Emperor of the five elemental world. So, why would he not be allowed into one of the ces in the world he owns? "Master, these ancient ruins don''t belong to the five elemental world; instead, it is a passage to the secret realm that the first three ancestors of the Shixato wilds created for their descendants." "Other than the three descendants of those three ancestors, even the Elf queen can''t enter it." The world spirit exined everything regarding the Ancient ruins. "So, you are telling me that I can''t enter it." Ajax raised his brows after learning about the ''Ancient ruins''. "Yes." The world spirit nodded her head. "So, be it." Without wasting any time, Ajax sat down on the ground and muttered, ''If I can''t go there to support them, I will help them from here.'' ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Ajax didn''t want something to happen to his contracted spirit beasts and the only way he could help them was by activating his bloodline. .... In the depths of the Ancient ruins, "Raweth, shall we enter the cascade of the lightning shes and bring her out?" Looking at Snow, who waspletely covered in her own blood, floating in the center of the lightning field, Sparrow suggested saying her. "No. We can''t enter it. If we enter into that lightning field, we will be making things even more difficult for her." Raweth shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "Damn it¡­how did the situation turn out like this?" In the beginning, when Snow entered the lightning field, she was able to absorb the lightning shes to increase her cultivation. What''s more, she was even sessful in breaking through the mid-level king realm cultivation and reached the high-level king realm. The progress in her cultivation didn''t stop and it steadily increased and reached the peak king realm. All that lest for her to be the emperor realm cultivator was merging three of her king bestial souls into a Emperor''s bestial soul. She summoned her three king realm bestial souls and slowly merged them and was about to be sessful, then, all of a sudden, the lightning tribtion cloud appeared above Snow''s head. "It''s all because of that tribtion cloud. But, a tribtion cloud was supposed to appear only after she merged all three bestial souls, right?" Sparrow replied to Raweth and asked about the lightning tribtion. Generally, for a king realm cultivator who was about to be an emperor realm cultivator, the lightning tribtion urs only after they merge their king realm souls. However, Snow summoned the lightning tribtion cloud ahead of time which made things quiteplicated. "I think the master has already sensed her condition. He contacted me earlier; however, I don''t think he can hear my words properly because of the formations in the ''Ancient ruins''." Raweht wanted tomunicate with Ajax and ask him to activate the Abyssal beast god bloodline to help Snow. However, he could not contact Ajax. ..... "Raweth¡­I feel the familiar boost in my battle prowess." All of a sudden, Sparrow replied to Raweth with a surprised look on her face. "Me too." With a slight smile on his face, Raweth replied, "It looks like the master has already activated the bloodline." "Let''s hope, Snow can endure thest three lightning tribtions." Looking at Snow, Raweth and Sparrow muttered at the same time. The lightning tribtion to be an Emperor realm cultivator required the cultivator to endure 18 lightning shes and so far, Snow had sessfully endured 15 lightning tribtions. As long as he survives the three more lightninging shes, she would not only be an Emperor realm cultivators but the entrance of the secret realm will be opened too. Chapter 1442 Snow Becomes a Spirit Beast Emperor Chapter 1442 Snow Bes a Spirit Beast Emperor¡¡¡¡''Rumble'' The thunder roared like an angry beast and rushed towards Snow who waspletely covered in blood. However, after the activation of the abyssal beast god''s bloodline, Snow didn''t look weak anymore; instead, she revealed a slight smile and looked forward towards the iing lightning sh. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the s16th lightning shnded on Snow; however, it was instantly absorbed by Snow and the injuries on her body healed a little. "Is that all you got? If you want to kill me, send your strongest lightning sh." Snow shouted at the tribtion cloud, making Raweth and Sparrow speechless. ''Why are you provoking it?'' ''A few seconds ago you were also in a near-death state and now, you are provoking it. Why?'' Raweth and Sparrow silently thought; however, they could tell the boost from the Abyssal beast god bloodline made her a lot stronger than what she used to be. ''As long as I absorb the powerful lightning sh, I can heal all my injuries in a single go and use thest lightning sh to increase my cultivation in the Emperor realm.'' Even though it looked like Snow was arrogant after receiving the boost from the abyssal beast god bloodline, she had a particr reason for provoking the lightning tribtion cloud. She had the ability to heal the injuries by absorbing the lightning energy; however, she had to be more powerful than the lightning shes. In the start, she was able to heal her injuries using the lightning shes in the lightning field; however, she hadpletely used them. Since the lightning shes released by the tribtion cloud were more powerful than her, she could not do anything other than endure them and absorbing the residue energy to barely heal her injuries. Nevertheless, with the boost from the abyssal beast god''s bloodline, everything changed and she could tell that she was more powerful than the lightning shes released by the tribtion cloud. ''Rumble'' Hearing Snow''s provocation, the lightning tribtion cloud became angry and roared at her before releasing a powerful lightning sh. ''Time to heal.'' Snow was keeping her eyes on the lightning shes and when she saw a powerful lightning sh released by the tribtion cloud, she revealed a slight smile. ''Rumble'' The tribtion cloud became furious when she noticed the smile on Snow''s face. However, it could only wait and see whether the 17th lightning sh would kill the girl that provoked it. ''Swoosh'' To the tribtion cloud''s surprise, its penultimate lightning strike was easily absorbed by Snow. As soon as she absorbed the lightning strike, all the injuries on her body disappeared and her aura started rising. "What? Is that all you got?" With a scoff, Snow mocked the tribtion cloud, making it furious. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' The tribtion cloud had enough of Snow''s provocation and decided to show its true power by striking with the most powerful lightning sh. Soon, the cloud rumbled and started preparing its most powerful lightning strike. "Why do I feel a bad premonition?" Both Raweth and Sparrow felt a bad premonition in their hearts because the tribtion cloud was taking a lot of time in preparing for thest strike. That''s right! The tribtion cloud decided to teach a lesson to Snow that if someone provoked the heavenly tribtions, then they would die. Moreover, ording to rules, the tribtion cloud could not release more than 18 lightning strikes on the cultivators who were trying to break through to the Emperor realm. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the tribtion cloud prepared its most powerful lightning strike and released it. Once it released the most powerful purple coloured lightning strike, the tribtion cloud shrunk in size and the bright purple colour on it had turned into a pure white one indicating that the tribtion cloud didn''t have any more energy left to create the lightning strikes. ''Swoosh'' As for Snow, she gritted her teeth and waited for the purple lightning strike tond on her. ''Boom'' The moment thest lightning strikended on Snow, a huge explosion urred which pushed Raweth and Sparrow for a couple of kilometers. As for Snow, she was forced to the ground and a huge crater formed on the ground; however, there was not a single injury on Snow''s body. ... ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast for sessfully reaching the Emperor realm. Ajax was surprised when he saw the first system notification and became happy for Snow. At the same time, he knew that the system would reward him with something since Snow was his first contracted spirit beast to be an Emperor realm spirit beast. ''Ding, The host will be rewarded with¡­..Nothing. ''What the..'' However, the system informed him that he would be rewarded with nothing. ''Why is that?'' Ajax asked the system about it; however, he remembered that the system was still undergoing an upgrade. ''Is it because of the system upgrade?'' Ajax frowned and thought about it for a few moments. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, Ajax realized something, ''Didn''t grandpa say that he had been collecting the items for the system all this time? However, he is currently in seclusion. So, I will not get any items, right?'' Even though his father had left a few things in the system''s inventory, Ajax learned that almost all the items that he received from the system were the hard work of his grandpa. So, if his grandpa didn''t move around the worlds to collect the items, then he would not get any rewards from the system, right? ''Nevermind, I can''t rely on grandpa forever. Moreover, the items that I used to get excited about in the past are no longer exciting me.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he continued, ''Anyway, I can move around the worlds and collect the world cores and the treasures in those worlds.'' Currently, Ajax''s cultivation was already king realm and he was no longer afraid of the emperor realm cultivators. So, he decided to find his own things with his own strength. ''Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check the details. Chapter 1443 Mission: Emperor Needs a World Chapter 1443 Mission: Emperor Needs a World¡¡¡¡''Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check the details. Suddenly, Ajax received a system notification in his head, making him pleasantly surprised. ''A mission even when the system is under upgrade?'' Generally, the system locks all its features when it undergoes an upgrade. So, Ajax was not expecting a mission from the system. ''Since it was generated after Snow became an Emperor realm cultivator, it must have something to do with her.'' It was not hard for Ajax to guess the mission without checking it; however, he still had to check it to confirm his guess. ''Ding, Mission name: Emperor needs a world. Mission objective: Since the host''s contracted spirit beast has be an Emperor realm cultivator, it is his duty to find a good world and make her an Emperor of the world. Reward: A normal world core and the information about the source of Sacred Energy. Note: 1) The above mentioned rewards are only if the host helps Snow be an Emperor of a normal world. If he makes her an Emperor for a smaller world, then the rewards will be reduced. 2) At the same time, if the host makes Snow an Emperor for a Greater world, the rewards will be increased. Time limit: One month. Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of Aja, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Make Snow an Emperor for a world?'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and thought, ''I think I should not only focus on destroying the demon worlds; instead, I have to find a world suitable for my contracted spirit beasts.'' That''s right! After reading the mission details, Ajax felt like each one of his contracted spirit beasts needed to have its own world. So that, they could create their own path. ''I am just wasting their potential by always keeping them in the inner world.'' Even though his contracted spirit beasts were having afortable life inside the inner world, Ajax felt they should pursue their own path in the cultivation. ''Also, I am just spoiling them by giving more and more items. It is finally time to give them some responsibilities. Only then, they can awaken to new bestialws and can walk much further in their cultivation.'' Ajax started thinking about it. Actually, the spirit beasts were born with bestial nature. So, even if they don''t fight daily, they could still show their bestial nature. However, for the spirit beasts, leading a tribe or horde or even a world would be very difficult and only a few spirit beasts could do that and be Spirit beast kings. So, Ajax wanted all his contracted spirit beasts to be the Kings. ''I have exactly one month''s time limit to find a nice normal grade world for Snow. So, I think I canplete my other missions ''Free the elemental spirits''.'' Even though the new mission had a time limit, Ajax wanted to finish his other mission, which he had dyed for some time. ''Anyway, before that, I have to wrap things in the Five elemental world.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax disappeared from his ce. Since Snow had already be an Emperor realm spirit beast, Ajax was not worried about whatever they were nning to do inside the Ancient ruins. ''It is created by their ancestors. They will not go as far as killing an Emperor realm cultivator from their tribes, right?'' This was the thought in his head as Ajax reappeared in front of the Lesser world tree. "Son-inw, is everything alright?" As soon as it saw Ajax appear, the lesser world tree asked in a concerned tone. "Everything is alright." With a slight smile, Ajax replied to the lesser world tree and at the same time, he apologized, "Sorry for leaving in the middle of the party." "It''s not a big deal. I informed everyone that you have got the acknowledgement of the world spirit and became the Emperor of the five elemental world." Siora replied to Ajax. "Hm" Ajax nodded his head and looked at all the important figures of the Five elemental world. From the Shixato wilds, Other than the three tribe leaders, the elders had visited in their stead. From the Western foxnds, Errol, the leader of the Ghost fox tribe and the father of Ghost had arrived with Ghost. Since their tribe was still developing and didn''t have numbers, other than him and his son, Errol didn''t bring anyone. Deon, the demonic fox tribe''s leader had brought the vice tribe leader and a couple of elders along with him. Calden, the leader of the tailed spirit fox tribe, also brought a couple of elders to the party. From the Mountain lion woods, Compared to the other two tribes, there were so many from the Mountain lion woods has visited the party. More than 100 high-level king realm humanoid mountain lions stood in order and the moment they saw Ajax, they hurriedly bowed. "Brutus, Calden, Uncle Errol and Deon, let''s discuss the future of the Five elemental world." Ajax didn''t mind the numbers as he knew they just came to see me. So, he didn''t say anything. Instead, he called the leaders of the various tribes and regions to follow him into the tree chamber. "Siora, you need to follow me as the queen of the Ancient evergreen woods." At the same time, he didn''t forget to invite Queen Siora and specifically mentioned that he wanted her to enter as the queen of the elves. Because he wanted to take input from the leaders of the various regions of the five elemental world before deciding its future. "Yes, Master." Everyone became serious and followed behind Ajax into the tree chamber. This tree chamber was different from the tree chamber Ajax entered previously which was the personal room of Queen Siora. As for the tree chamber, they entered right now, it was a huge meeting hall that Ajax asked the lesser world tree to prepare in the morning. "Before talking about the future ns of the five elemental world, I have a question for you." Once everyone took their seats, Ajax asked, "Does anyone know the origin of the Five elemental world?" Chapter 1444 Previous Emperor of the Five Elemental World Chapter 1444 Previous Emperor of the Five Elemental World¡¡¡¡Five elemental world, as its name suggests, is a world mainly formed by thebination of 5 elements, namely, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Life. However, Ajax was curious about his origins because he knew the ancestors of the Shixato wilds didn''t seem like regr cultivators. So, he wondered whether there were other cultivators in the other regions on the same level as that of the Shixato tribe. "..." No one replied because no one had a clear idea about the five elemental world. "How can they know about the origin of the Five elemental world even when I don''t know about it? However, I know about one thing." All of a sudden, the lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the tree chamber. "Please continue." Since the lesser world tree could be considered the oldest entity in the Five elemental world, of course, it would know more about the five elemental world. "By the time when I first awakened my consciousness, this world was filled with all kinds of races except for the demon race." The lesser world tree seemed a little happy as it exined, "The previous emperor of the five elemental world was very strong and powerful." "Even though the five elemental world was just a normal world, the cultivators from the greater worlds would shiver just from hearing his name. He united all the weaker races and made them powerful enough to fight against the cultivators from the stronger races." "What? Is he that strong?" Ajax could not help but ask the lesser world tree. Uniting the weaker races and stopping the cultivators from the greater worlds was not a big deal in his view because as long as a cultivator gains the acknowledgement of the world spirit, they would be strong in that particr. However, making the cultivators from the weaker races powerful enough to fight against the cultivators from the powerful races was not an easy thing. "Yes." The lesser world tree didn''t stop praising the previous emperor of the Five elemental world. ''Wait a second¡­Zanath''s followers are able to defeat a powerful cultivator from the Golden demon race. I think it must not be a big deal for the previous emperor of the Five Elemental world.'' A few days back, Ajax saw the weaker races like Kobolds, Orcs could be powerful enough to kill the cultivators from the higher races even with one minor realm difference in the cultivation. ''If Zanath was able to do it, then the previous emperor was als able to do it.'' This was the one conclusion that Ajax came to after hearing about the lesser world tree''s reply. "Then what happened to the previous emperor? Also, what about the other races that used to live in this world?" Ajax asked with a serious look on his face. He was not shocked by the fact that the five elemental world had an emperor in the past; however, he was shocked at the fact that such a powerful emperor was no longer in the Five elemental world. Moreover, the races that were supposed to be united were no longer living in the Five elemental world. Except for the Elves, there were no other races other than the re-cultivated spirit beasts. So, of course, Ajax wanted to know what happened to them. "For some reason, The previous emperor of the Five elemental world hates the demons and constantly wanders in the demon emperor''s territory. Therefore, he got the name Demon Exterminator. For that reason, the demon emperors hate him to the core." "So, he got killed while destroying the demon worlds?" Before the lesser world tree could finish its words, Ajax interrupted and asked. After hearing the story about the previous emperor of the five elemental world up to now, it was obvious how he died. Hence, Ajax asked whether he was right about it. "No." However, the lesser world tree replied that he was wrong. "Then? How did he die?" Ajax frowned and asked the lesser world tree. "He was not only hated by the demon emperors, even the human emperors from the greater worlds also hate him for bing an Emperor realm cultivator at a young age of 20 years¡­" ''What?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard that the previous emperor became an Emperor realm cultivator at the age of 20 years. ''How is it possible? Unless the previous emperor of the five elemental world has a system with him.'' This was the only possible conclusion that Ajax was able toe to after hearing about the achievement of the previous emperor. "Wait a second¡­a young emperor with a title [Demon exterminator]...where did I hear about him?" Suddenly, Ajax felt like he had heard about the previous emperor of the five elemental world somewhere before. "What is the name of the previous emperor of the five elemental world?" Ajax didn''t waste his time thinking about it; instead, he asked for the actual name of the emperor. "It''s Emperor Aron. Aron Alpenswift." The lesser world tree was proud to say that name and continued saying, "I learned that he was the one who nted me in the Five elemental world and nurtured me." ''That''s right.'' Ajax didn''t pay much attention to thetter words of the lesser world trees because he had finally remembered where he had heard about him. ''He is the fallent genius Aron Alpenswift. He is also a friend of my master. So, he was the previous emperor of the world.'' Ajax nodded his head and replied, "Because of his cultivation talent and the ability to make the weaker races powerful enough to go against the cultivators from the stronger races, the human emperors from the greater human worlds also didn''t like him, right?" "Yes." "In the end, the powerful emperor realm cultivators from all the stronger races ambushed him and killed him when he was about to break through to the next realm after the emperor realm. Is that right?" Ajax said everything that he had learned from his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror. "Son-inw, how do you know that? Only those who are closest to him or connected to him know about it." The lesser world tree was surprised at Ajax''s urate information and asked him. Chapter 1445 History of the Five Elemental World Chapter 1445 History of the Five Elemental World¡¡¡¡The lesser world tree knew how Aron Alpenswift had died because it formed a special link with him simr to the spirit contract. Moreover, Aron Alpenswift had left a few words for it before his death. From that, it knew how Aron had died. From thest words of Aron, the lesser world tree knew it was an automated voice transmission that was only sent to everyone close to Aron. "Because the previous emperor was a close friend of my master." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to the lesser world tree. "You are the disciple of Master Mostror?" Before Ajax could tell the name of his master, the lesser world tree''s surprised voice resounded in the tree chamber. ''...'' Queen Siora and others remained silent and tried to understand the history of their Five elemental world. "You know my master?" Ajax was surprised when the lesser world tree said his master''s name. "Of course. He was the closest friend who helped Master Aron a lot in managing the five elemental world." The lesser world tree had the same level of respect for Emperor Mostror. "Now, tell me. What happened to the races that lived in the five elemental world?" Soon, Ajax asked the lesser world tree to go back to its story-telling. "After Master Aron died, the races in the five elemental world started fighting for power over the five elemental world. The fight between them escted to the point where they annihted one another." "What? Didn''t my mastere to stop the fight between the races?" Ajax frowned as he asked the lesser world tree. "He did appear in the five elemental world for a few days; however, he was called back for a mission from his organization. So, he left after saying, ''If you have any respect left for Master Aron, stay united and don''t fight''." "It worked for a few decades; however, the peace didn''tst for long as new leaders arose from those races and started aiming for full control over the Five elemental world. At that time, I was not powerful; however, I had a talisman that Master Aron had left for me." "Using that talisman, I protected all the elves and sealed the ''Ancient evergreen woods'' for a century before the talisman''s effects disappeared." The lesser world tree said that Master Aron''s idea of uniting the weaker races was not sessful and it only made them greedy for power after he made them stronger. "..." After hearing everything the fight among the races on the five elemental world, Ajax started to re-think about his ns of uniting the weaker races. That''s right! Since Ajax had experienced the killing of innocent children when he was young, he always felt that the world was broken. The strong always stomps the weak and Ajax wanted to change that. However, when he learned that someone had already tried that but without the leader, it won''tst for long. ''I have to find a way where even if the leader dies or goes somewhere, the weak should always stay together and fight the strong as one.'' ''It should not happen where the weak races fight among themselves for more power or if one of the weaker races bes stronger and takes the ce of the stronger races to bully the other weaker race.'' Ajax kept a note about the history of the five elemental world in his head and decided to take preventive measures to stop such situations. "Then what about the Ancestors of these tribes?" Pointing at the bird, fox and lion tribe members. ording to the information he had on the five elemental worlds, each tribe has an ancestor which emperor realm cultivation. "Oh. The ancestors of all the tribes that exist in the Five elemental world were once unevolved spirit beasts; however, Master Aron left a few inheritances for the spirit beasts and among the hundreds of thousands of spirit beasts, only seven spirit beasts were able to found those inheritances and re-cultivated before creating their own tribes." The lesser world tree exined the origin of the ancestors of the tribes. "Where did they go? I heard they have ascended to greater beast worlds." Ajax was not surprised with the achievements of Aron Alpenswift anymore and asked what happened to the ancestors of the tribes. "That''s right! They have ascended to the greater beast worlds. Even though they were reluctant in the beginning, they realized their cultivation was progressing nowhere. So, in the end, all the ancestors of the tribes discussed and left some inheritances and treasures for theter generations." With that, the lesser world tree had ended its exnation. "Now, we got to know about the history of the five elemental world, it is time to decide our future." Ajax remained silent for a few moments before continuing, "I have some ns for the future development of the five elemental world and the tribes that were living inside it." Soon, Ajax started exining his thoughts about the future development of the five elemental world and other things. ...¡­ In the depths of the ''Ancient ruins'', Snow, Sparrow and Raweth looked at the huge portal that opened in front of them. "Let''s go." Snow emitted a powerful aura as he entered the portal that opened after she cleared the trial set by their ancestors. The reason she entered the portal without any hesitation was that she sensed no dangers from it. As an emperor realm spirit beast, Snow''s senses had reached the point where she could sense half of the five elemental world just by standing in one ce. "Hm" Raweth and Sparrow also sensed there were no dangers and since they had already risked their lives for the treasures stored by their ancestors, they decided to take the one final step to enter the portal. "Wee my dear descendants. I have been waiting for you to enter this secret realm for a long time." As soon as they entered the secret realm, they heard three voices in the cave that they just entered. Chapter 1446 Astounded Bird Emperors Chapter 1446 Astounded Bird Emperors¡¡¡¡"Ancestors" Without any hesitation, the three re-cultivated spirit beasts bowed to the three figures floating in the mid-air. There was no need for any introductions because they could sense their bloodline resonate with the three projections in front of them. The three projections had human bodies; however, they have bird heads namely, lightning hawk, fire crow andher ice sparrow. That''s right! They were none other than the ancestors of the three tribes, namely, the lightning hawk emperor, the fire crow emperor and theher ice sparrow emperor of the Shixato wilds. One of the three projections that had a hawk head> Looking at Snow, the lightning hawk emperor was pleasantly surprised. Because he was sure that Snow was less than 20 years old but had already be the youngest emperor in history, even breaking the record of the previous emperor of the five elemental world ''Aron Alpenswift''. "I have been lucky and met my master who helped me reach my current level." With a slight smile, Snow replied to her ancestor briefly exining about Ajax. If Snow didn''t encounter Ajax in the summoner king inheritance ground, she would have been still in her unevolved form. The lightning hawk emperor was not angry; instead, he was surprised after learning about Ajax. He didn''t mind Snow forming a contract with a human and from Snow''s words, he could tell that the human named Ajax took good care of her when she was still weak. The two other bird emperors also started praising their descendants as they had very high cultivation despite their young age. Raweth and Sparrow thanked their ancestors before saying the reason for their growth. After learning that they all formed a contract with the same human, the three bird emperors were shocked. The three bird emperors were able to guess Ajax''s intention after learning that all three tribes in the Shixato wilds were controlled by Ajax. In their view, since Ajax had already taken full control of the Shixato wilds, then the next region he would try to conquer would be ''Western foxnds''. However, they knew it was not an easy task to make the foxes acknowledge a human as master. "Ahem¡­ancestors, the three ancient fox tribes had already acknowledged him as their master." Raweth coughed a little as he informed them that ''Western foxnds'' was already taken over by Ajax. They were surprised for a moment before saying, Chapter 1447 : Finding a Source of Plant Essence

1447 Finding a Source of nt Essence

"Wait¡­No." Ajax tried to stop the lesser world tree from injecting the nt essence into the rotten seed; however, the lesser world tree had already injected before it even mentioned about the nt essence. "Son-inw, what happened? Is there something wrong with injecting the nt essence into this spoiled seed?" The lesser world tree was surprised with Ajax''s sudden reaction and asked him about it. "It''s¡­nothing." However, there was nothing he could do about it now. So, he shook his head. Currently, Ajax needed nt essence for nurturing the Soul nourishment seed. Even though nurturing a new lesser world was necessary, for Ajax, nurturing the soul nourishment tree was much more important than anything else. So, why would he waste the nt essence in nurturing the spoiled lesser world seed. Nevertheless, he was toote to stop the leser world tree and could not shake his head with a bitter smile on his face. "Huh?" Of course, the lesser world tree didn''t believe Ajax''s words and replied, "Actually, I have a little bit of nt essence left with me." "Really?" Hearing those words, Ajax''s bitter simile turned into an excited smile as he hurriedly asked the lesser world tree, "Can you give it to me? I am in dire need of the nt essence." Actually, when he first met Queen Siora, he asked her about the nt essence; however, she said she didn''t have any. However, the lesser world tree had the nt essence, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. Therefore, he didn''t hesitate as he directly asked the lesser world tree to give it. "Since my son-inw needs the nt essence, I will give it to you." Soon, a tree branch came out of the ground bringing a jade box with it and gave it to Ajax. "Thank you." Ajax hurriedly thanked the lesser world tree before opening the jade box. Inside the jade box, there was green-coloured liquid that emitted a strong vitality from it. ''Even though the nt essence inside the jade box was around 10 drops, it must be a tough decision for the lesser world tree to bring it out. Moreover, it also injected around 10 drops of the nt essence into the spoiled seed, making it better.'' Ajax silently thought inside his head as he looked at the nt essence in his hands with mixed emotions. For a lesser world tree, the nt essence was very useful and beneficial for its own; however, it was giving the nt essence for him, which made Ajax warm in his heart. ''I will definitely repay you for the nt essence in the future.'' Ajax silently swore in his heart to repay the lesser world tree. "I don''t know why my son-inw needs the nt essence; however, I can produce a single drop of nt essence every month. If you want more, you can alwayse and I will give you the nt essence that I gathered." Sensing the mixed emotions on Ajax''s face, the lesser world tree said he could alwayse to it to take the nt essence. "What? A drop of nt essence every month?" Ajax was surprised to hear those words; however, in the next second, he was excited and hurriedly nodded his head. "Mother-inw, do you need anything? Even if I don''t have it right now, I can always find it for you." Ajax hesitated a little and called the lesser world tree as ''Mother-inw'' before asking the tree whether she needed anything. "Haha¡­I am already happy that you called me ''Mother-inw''. So, there is no need to worry about it." The lesser world tree was happy with the way that Ajax addressed her. Since she was a tree and Ajax was human, she felt that Ajax might not like to call her ''Mother-inw''. "However, there is one thing I want from you." Suddenly, the lesser world tree said she wanted something. "What is it? I will definitely try my best." Since the lesser world tree was giving him something so precious, he would definitely try his best in repaying her. "Please look after my daughter" "..." Ajax nearly copsed to the ground when he heard those words; however, maintaining hisposure, he nodded his head. ''Brat, what do you have to ask her what she needs? Can''t you think about what she needs the most?'' All of a sudden, his father''s voice resounded in his head. ''Huh? What does she need the most?'' Ajax frowned when he heard his father''s words out of nowhere. ''The favourite and most beneficial food of a lesser world tree or a world tree is none other than the world core. Since you have a lot of small world cores, you can give one or two to her.'' Vaugh calmly exined what Ajax had to give to the lesser world tree. ''Not only the world core will help the lesser world tree to grow but at the same time, she will give birth to legendary items depending on the grade of the world core.'' ''What? A lesser world tree eats world cores to grow?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised with his father''s words. Actually, Ajax had already thought about it when he saw the name of the tree using the system appraisal; however, at the time, he was not close to the world tree. Moreover, he felt only nt essence could nurture the lesser world tree after his experience with the soul nourishment seed. ''Since you have kept the system under upgrade, it''s time for you to think and stop relying on the system all the time.'' His father''s words sounded serious as though he was indirectly telling Ajax that the system might leave his body in the future. ''I understood, father.'' Ajax nodded his head and agreed with his father''s words because they were true. He was relying a lot on the system; however,pared to the beging of his cultivation journey, he was not overly relying on the system. "You can all leave now." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax asked everyone to leave the tree chamber before taking out a shining fist-sized orb. "This is¡­.son-inw, where did you get this orb?" Chapter 1448 Lightning Hawk Emperors troubles Chapter 1448 Lightning Hawk Emperor''s troubles¡¡¡¡''What the¡­'' Snow and others raised their brows when they were kicked out of the ''Ancient ruins'' even before they could say something. Everything happened so fast that they were unable to react in time and were already standing outside the ''Ancient ruins''. "What do you think? Shall we give this dried lesser world seed to the Master?" Since they were already kicked out by their ancestors, Snow thought it was useless to go back. Hence, she asked the other two re-cultivated spirit beasts about the dried seed. "Since the ancestor said that our master can make use of it, I don''t think it is not a bad idea to give it to the master." "I feel the same. You know how mysterious the master is. He might find a way to use it." Both Raweth and Sparrow decided to give it to Ajax. Even if it was a dried lesser world tree, it was still valuable and the cultivators would go crazy over it. As for whether they could nurture the lesser world tree from the seed, it was for the heavens to decide. "Let''s give it to the master then." After thinking for a few moments, Snow also agreed with the others. "Let''s go. We are alreadyte." Without wasting any time, they started flying towards the ''Ancient evergreen woods'' to give Ajax the dried lesser world tree seed. ¡­.. Inside the secret realm, With a calm look, the lightning hawk emperor shook his head and exined why he sent them away so quickly. Actually, they were supposed to say some things and make them serious about their cultivation. However, after seeing how powerful they were at such a young age, they decided to not worry their descendants about other things. The two bird emperors looked at the lightning hawk emperor and sighed. At the same time, they tried to convince the lightning hawk emperor to upgrade the three tribe leaders. However, the lightning hawk emperor didn''t agree with their words and exined the reason behind his actions. The other two bird emperors nodded and agreed with the lightning hawk emperor because what he said was true. As long as their descendants were stronger, they would get more benefits in that ''ce''. After that, the lightning hawk emperor disappeared, leaving the other two bird emperors in the cave. The two bird emperors shook their heads and disappeared from the cave. ... In the tree chamber of the Lesser world tree, "So, what do you think about my thoughts for the five elemental world''s future?" While Snow and the two other tribe leaders were busy inside the secret realm, Ajax had exined all his thoughts about the development of the five elemental world. The lesser world tree and others pointed out some things and Ajax changed them without any hesitation. Overall, he had exined everything about his thoughts and asked whether there were still any problems with his ideas. "No, Emperor." "Even though some are difficult for us, as long as the emperor is with us, we can move forward without any hesitation." "We are looking forward to the five elemental world bing a greater world under the Emperor''s lead." Earlier, Ajax asked everyone to call him Emperor from now onwards except for his contracted spirit beasts. Even if they call him Emperor, he would not mind; however, the contracted spirit beasts got used to calling him Master and it would be hard for them to change the way they address him. After hearing Ajax''s future ns for the five elemental world, everyone was excited about them. "Master, we are here." Suddenly, Snow and the other two tribe leaders entered the tree chamber while gasping for breath. Chapter 1449 Rotten Seed Chapter 1449 Rotten Seed¡¡¡¡"The tribe leaders of the Shixato wilds sure know how toe early." The mountain lion king, Brutus, joked as soon as he saw Snow and others enter the tree chamber. "We went to pick a gift for the master." Snow scoffed at Brutus and released her Emperor realm cultivation pressure which instantly shut the mountain lion king and other tribe leaders. In the world of spirit beasts or re-cultivated spirit beasts, one needs to have the strength to speak or do whatever one wants. Before Snow breakthrough into the Emperor realm, Brutus was the strongest re-cultivated spirit beast in the Five elemental world. So, he always made fun of others and the others let him do it because he had the strength. However, after her breakthrough to the Emperor realm, Snow officially became the strongest re-cultivated spirit beast in the Five elemental world. Therefore, after Snow released her cultivation pressure, Brutus remained silent and acted like he didn''t notice Snow. "Congrattions, Tribe leader Snow." "Congrattions." Soon, everyone congratted Snow for bing an Emperor realm spirit beast at such a young age. Even the lesser world tree congratted Snow because she could tell that Snow would definitely break the emperor realm barrier and enter the next realm as long as she put enough effort into her cultivation. "Why do I sense something familiar in your hands?" However, after congratting Snow, the lesser world tree sensed a familiar aura in the box that Snow was holding. Hence, the lesser world tree asked Snow about it. "It''s the gift we prepared for the Master." While saying that, Snow opened the box and gave it to Ajax. "Huh?" Ajax became curious and guessed, ''Is this the reason why they entered the Ancient ruins?'' He felt warm in his heart when he sensed that his contracted spirit beasts entered the depths of the ''Ancient ruins'' to bring a gift for him. It was not hard for Ajax to guess it because when he informed them about the engagement party, they were still in their own tribes. However, after a few hours, he learned that they entered the ''Ancient ruins'' where Snow nearly lost her life to enter the secret realm left behind by their ancestor. "Thank you." Ajax wanted to berate them for risking their lives to get some gift for him; however, looking at the excitement in their eyes and since they were surrounded by many, Ajax didn''t scold them. Instead, he thanked them from the bottom of his heart. ''Ding, Item name: Lesser world tree seed (rotten). Grade: No grade. Information: The previous emperor of the Five elemental world had two lesser world tree seeds when he entered the five elemental world. One is good and easily nurtured and the other one was bad and didn''t germinate. After a few centuries, that bad seed eventually ended up in the hands of the three bird emperors. However, because of their experience in the greater world, they learned how to nurture the bad seed and kept it for the sake of their descendants. As soon as Ajax touched the ckish green-coloured seed, he receivedplete information about the lesser world tree''s seed. ''Huh? A rotten seed?'' When he saw the name of the thing he was holding in his hand, Ajax was excited; however, when he saw the word ''Rotten'', he was an ugly expression. ''Even the previous Emperor didn''t bother to nurture it. Is it really worth trying to nurture it?'' Nevertheless, after reading the full information about the seed, Ajax understood that the three bird emperors found a way to nurture it. So, he thought about whether he should nurture it or not. "Son-inw, let me see that seed." As Ajax was thinking about the pros and cons of putting some effort into nurturing the lesser world tree''s seed, the lesser world tree asked him to show the seed. "Here." Since it was already rotten, Ajax was not worried that the lesser world tree would use that seed for itself. Even if it used the seed for itself, Ajax didn''t mind because as the emperor of the five elemental world, the lesser world tree would be one of his many subjects. "Oh. It is rottenpletely." Soon, a thin tree branch came out of the ground as the lesser world tree observed the seed and informed Ajax about its status. "I know." Ajax nodded with a bitter smile on his face. "Master the ancestors said that we can still nurture that seed. That''s why we gave it to the master." Fearing that Ajax might misunderstand their intentions, Snow and others hurriedly said the exact words of the ancestors. "Huh? You met your ancestors?" Ajax and others were surprised by their words and asked at the same time. "Not real ones; instead, we met their projections." Raweth and others briefly exined their conversation with the ancestors. "I think I know what they meant when they said the seed can be nurtured." After hearing their words, the lesser world tree spoke, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. "Do you know how I can nurture it?" Since the lesser world tree is a legend grade tree, of course, Ajax was excited about it and asked about the lesser world tree. "It can be nurtured with the help of nt essence." Without keeping anyone in surprise, the lesser world tree directly informed what it understood from Snow''s words. "nt essence?" Ajax frowned and silently thought in his head, ''I am already dying to find the nt essence to nurture the Soul nourishment tree and now even this rotten seed needs the nt essence?'' "I have some nt essence with me, I will use it to make this seed recover and germinate." As soon as the lesser world tree finished its words, another sharp thin branch came out of the ground and pierced through the rotten seed before injecting the nt essence into it. "What?" Ajax was shocked when he learned the lesser world tree had the nt essence with it and hurriedly tried to stop its actions of injecting the nt essence into the rotten seed. Chapter 1450 Finding a Source of Plant Essence Chapter 1450 Finding a Source of nt Essence¡¡¡¡"Wait¡­No." Ajax tried to stop the lesser world tree from injecting the nt essence into the rotten seed; however, the lesser world tree had already injected before it even mentioned about the nt essence. "Son-inw, what happened? Is there something wrong with injecting the nt essence into this spoiled seed?" The lesser world tree was surprised with Ajax''s sudden reaction and asked him about it. "It''s¡­nothing." However, there was nothing he could do about it now. So, he shook his head. Currently, Ajax needed nt essence for nurturing the Soul nourishment seed. Even though nurturing a new lesser world was necessary, for Ajax, nurturing the soul nourishment tree was much more important than anything else. So, why would he waste the nt essence in nurturing the spoiled lesser world seed. Nevertheless, he was toote to stop the leser world tree and could not shake his head with a bitter smile on his face. "Huh?" Of course, the lesser world tree didn''t believe Ajax''s words and replied, "Actually, I have a little bit of nt essence left with me." "Really?" Hearing those words, Ajax''s bitter simile turned into an excited smile as he hurriedly asked the lesser world tree, "Can you give it to me? I am in dire need of the nt essence." Actually, when he first met Queen Siora, he asked her about the nt essence; however, she said she didn''t have any. However, the lesser world tree had the nt essence, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. Therefore, he didn''t hesitate as he directly asked the lesser world tree to give it. "Since my son-inw needs the nt essence, I will give it to you." Soon, a tree branch came out of the ground bringing a jade box with it and gave it to Ajax. "Thank you." Ajax hurriedly thanked the lesser world tree before opening the jade box. Inside the jade box, there was green-coloured liquid that emitted a strong vitality from it. ''Even though the nt essence inside the jade box was around 10 drops, it must be a tough decision for the lesser world tree to bring it out. Moreover, it also injected around 10 drops of the nt essence into the spoiled seed, making it better.'' Ajax silently thought inside his head as he looked at the nt essence in his hands with mixed emotions. For a lesser world tree, the nt essence was very useful and beneficial for its own; however, it was giving the nt essence for him, which made Ajax warm in his heart. ''I will definitely repay you for the nt essence in the future.'' Ajax silently swore in his heart to repay the lesser world tree. "I don''t know why my son-inw needs the nt essence; however, I can produce a single drop of nt essence every month. If you want more, you can alwayse and I will give you the nt essence that I gathered." Sensing the mixed emotions on Ajax''s face, the lesser world tree said he could alwayse to it to take the nt essence. "What? A drop of nt essence every month?" Ajax was surprised to hear those words; however, in the next second, he was excited and hurriedly nodded his head. "Mother-inw, do you need anything? Even if I don''t have it right now, I can always find it for you." Ajax hesitated a little and called the lesser world tree as ''Mother-inw'' before asking the tree whether she needed anything. "Haha¡­I am already happy that you called me ''Mother-inw''. So, there is no need to worry about it." The lesser world tree was happy with the way that Ajax addressed her. Since she was a tree and Ajax was human, she felt that Ajax might not like to call her ''Mother-inw''. "However, there is one thing I want from you." Suddenly, the lesser world tree said she wanted something. "What is it? I will definitely try my best." Since the lesser world tree was giving him something so precious, he would definitely try his best in repaying her. "Please look after my daughter" "..." Ajax nearly copsed to the ground when he heard those words; however, maintaining hisposure, he nodded his head. ''Brat, what do you have to ask her what she needs? Can''t you think about what she needs the most?'' All of a sudden, his father''s voice resounded in his head. ''Huh? What does she need the most?'' Ajax frowned when he heard his father''s words out of nowhere. ''The favourite and most beneficial food of a lesser world tree or a world tree is none other than the world core. Since you have a lot of small world cores, you can give one or two to her.'' Vaugh calmly exined what Ajax had to give to the lesser world tree. ''Not only the world core will help the lesser world tree to grow but at the same time, she will give birth to legendary items depending on the grade of the world core.'' ''What? A lesser world tree eats world cores to grow?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised with his father''s words. Actually, Ajax had already thought about it when he saw the name of the tree using the system appraisal; however, at the time, he was not close to the world tree. Moreover, he felt only nt essence could nurture the lesser world tree after his experience with the soul nourishment seed. ''Since you have kept the system under upgrade, it''s time for you to think and stop relying on the system all the time.'' His father''s words sounded serious as though he was indirectly telling Ajax that the system might leave his body in the future. ''I understood, father.'' Ajax nodded his head and agreed with his father''s words because they were true. He was relying a lot on the system; however,pared to the beging of his cultivation journey, he was not overly relying on the system. "You can all leave now." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax asked everyone to leave the tree chamber before taking out a shining fist-sized orb. "This is¡­.son-inw, where did you get this orb?" Chapter 1451 Planting the Soul Nourishment Seed Chapter 1451 nting the Soul Nourishment Seed¡¡¡¡"This is¡­.son-inw, where did you get this orb?" Looking at the shining fist-sized orb inside Ajax''s hands, the lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the tree chamber. Obviously, the lesser world tree was shocked with that item in Ajax''s hands. "I heard that the world cores are beneficial to the world trees and the lesser world tree. Since Mother-inw is so kind to me, I would like to give this smaller world core to you." While saying those words, Ajax gave the smaller world core in his hands to the thin branch in front of him. ''Swoosh'' The lesser world tree didn''t reject the gift because it is a gift that the lesser world tree can''t reject. "Thank you, Son-inw." The lesser world tree thanked Ajax and didn''t bother to ask where he got the smaller world core from, anymore. "It''s nothingpared to what you have given to me." Looking at the green seed in his hands that was no longer spoiled after receiving nearly 10 drops of nt essence and thinking about the other 10 drops of nt essence he received separately, Ajax shook his head. For him, getting the smaller world cores was not a problem. Even without lifting his finger, Ajax could get them; however, he could not find the traces of the nt essence, much less get his hands on it. ''I hope the soul nourishment seed can germinate with the 10 drops of the nt essence.'' When he thought about spending countless units of the astral energy on the soul nourishment seed, Ajax truly understood the value of the nt essence. ''However, I need to see how useful the 10 drops of the nt essence will be on the soul nourishment seed.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and wanted to use the nt essence to nurture the soul nourishment seed. "With the help of this smaller world core, I can not only increase my strength but I can also produce a new treasure." As Ajax was lost in his thoughts, he was woken up by the lesser world tree''s words which pleasantly surprised him. "What? A treasure?" Ajax already knew that the lesser world trees could produce a treasure every 100 years. Even Queen Siora was born in such a way. However, what Ajax didn''t expect was that one smaller world core would help the lesser world tree to produce a treasure. "Yes. I will not take much time. Please wait for an hour and you can see the treasure I produce." The lesser world tee asked Ajax to wait to see the treasure. "Also, if that treasure is useful to you, you can use it without any hesitation." Before Ajax could say anything, the lesser world tree even offered to give away the treasure which she was going to produce soon. "Really? I will thank you in advance then." Ajax was excited and hurriedly thanked the lesser world tree. If Ajax really needed the treasure, he would be shameless and ask for the lesser world tree without any hesitation. Of course, in return, he would give another smaller world core. So, the lesser world tree could be a little stronger and produce another treasure. Actually, Ajax was also in need of a lot of world core for many things. The first and foremost thing he needed the world cores for was to increase his cultivation. Since he could not conquer a normal world or a greater world with his own strength, Ajax could only focus on the smaller world cores and merge them into a greater world core. Second, to upgrade the worlds he owns. The more world cores he uses, the quicker his worlds'' grade would be increased. Third, he wanted to use the world cores to auction off in the Trader''s realm in exchange for nt essence, a battleship that could travel between the worlds and many other things. Because of these reasons, Ajax was not willing to casually give away the world cores. ''Anyway, I can give her more world cores when I be an Emperor realm cultivator. At the same time, I can help it be a Mythical grade tree.'' Ajax knew it was better to increase his strength first before helping others. "I will take some rest for an hour. Please wake me up when the treasure is formed." Soon, Ajax said he would rest both the lesser world tree and Queen Siora. "Sure. Enter Siora''s room and rest on the cultivation bed." The lesser world tree suggested resting in Siora''s room. "There is no¡­" "Swoosh" However, before he could tell anything, the lesser world tree had teleported Ajax to the cultivation bed. ''...'' Ajax was speechless at the lesser world tree''s actions; however, he didn''t waste anything before sleeping on the cultivation bed. ''Enter.'' As soon as he rested on the cultivation bed, Ajax muttered a single word and his spirit consciousness entered the inner world. Actually, he didn''t do much in the day for him to be tired; however, he used that as an excuse to enter his inner world just because of the soul nourishment seed. Since he got the nt essence, it was finally time for him to nt the soul nourishment seed. ''It''s finally time.'' Without wasting any time, he found a good spot a few kilometers away from the ''Tree of blessing'' and nted the seed. ''I hope it grows at least one meter.'' Even though he was hoping that the soul nourishment tree would grow tall just like the tree of blessing within a few minutes. However, Ajax knew he didn''t have so many units of the nt essence. Therefore, he was hoping it would be at least a one-meter tree. ''To be honest, without the help of the system, I don''t even know how many units of nt essence I have now.'' Since the system always measures all types of energies in units, Ajax was clueless about the ten drops of the nt essence. Nevertheless, he didn''t think much about it and poured a single drop on the spot where he nted the seed. ''Puchi'' Soon, a white coloured sprout came out of the ground, making Ajax reveal a full smile. Chapter 1452 Bestial Paradises Chapter 1452 Bestial Paradises¡¡¡¡The sprout grew slowly and started changing from white-coloured to green colour sprout. By the time it grew to 10 centimeters above the ground, it stopped growing. ''Only ten centimeters?'' Even though he had only used a single drop of nt essence, Ajax was hoping it would grow by at least 50 centimeters with a single drop. Because from the second drop onwards, the growth of the nt will be slowedpared to the first drop. ''It looks like the nt will not even reach one meter in height.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and poured the remaining nine drops of the nt essence on the sprout. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the sprout absorbed the nt essence, it started growing rapidly; however, the rapid growth slowed when the nt reached 50 centimeters. Nevertheless, it was still growing albeit at a slow speed. ''60 centiemeters¡­I guess, it''s okay.'' After the nt grew to 60 centimeters in height, it no longer grew, making Ajax bitterly nod his head. ''I never expected I would find 10 drops of the nt essence. So, I should be satisfied with the 60 centimeters soul-nourishment nt.'' Ajax muttered to himself and continued thinking, ''Also, I can get one drop of nt essence every month from Mother-inw. Even though it is only a single drop, it is better than nothing, right?'' Until he found another source of nt essence, Ajax decided to rely on the lesser world tree. Of course, in return, he nned to give the world cores. It''s a win-win situation for both Ajax and the lesser world tree. ''It is still very small to help any soul. I need to find more drops of nt essence before finding the source.'' Finding the source of the nt essence would be much harderpared to finding the nt essence. So, Ajax decided to look for some nt essence in the Trader''s realm after the auction. ''Before that, I need toplete my mission of saving the elemental spirits.'' Since Ajax felt that he had enough strength to go against the mutated bronze demon world, he wanted toplete the mission of saving the elemental spirit world and the elemental spirits in that world. ''At the time, I can find a good elemental spirit and form an official contract with it.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face. A summoner could form an official contract with an elemental spirit for every two major realms before entering into the king realm i.e., Soldier realm, Commander realm and General realm. After entering the king realm, they could form a contract for every major realm. Since Ajax had sessfully be a king realm cultivator, he could enter the elemental spirit world to form an official contract with an elemental spirit. Of course, while he was at it, he could form unlimited unofficial contracts with the elemental spirits before he got kicked out of the elemental spirit world. ''If not for this mission, I would have already entered the elemental spirit world connected to the Purple stone world to increase my elemental spirit army.'' The reason why Ajax didn''t enter the elemental spirit world right after he became the king realm cultivator was because of the mission ''Save the elemental spirit world''. He wanted to use his chance to get an official elemental spirit to enter the elemental spirit world connected to the mutated bronze demon world. ''I hope I canplete the mission sessfully.'' Ajax knew that the mission was a difficult one as he had to be careful; otherwise, he would be killing the innocent elemental spirits that were enved by the bronze demon king. Actually, killing the mutated bronze demon king was not a big deal for Ajax; however, the mission''s objective was to save the elemental spirit world that was fully controlled by the bronze demon king. After thinking about the mission for some time, Ajax took a casual walk in the inner world seeing various elemental paradises and bestial paradises. Bestial paradises are simr to the elemental paradises; however, they were beneficial for the spirit beasts. Since he had unlocked the Bestial spirit stone and gained one million bestial points, Ajax bought a few bestial paradises for his contracted spirit beasts and upgraded them to the grade 3, making all the contracted spirit beasts under him extremely satisfied. ''With the addition of these bestial paradises, the cultivation speed of the contracted spirit beasts had increased to another level.'' Looking at his contracted spirit beasts that were either rxing or cultivating inside the bestial paradises, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Check.'' While taking a casual walk, Ajax wanted to see how many bestial points and the spirit points he had with him. ''Ding, Bestial points: 10000. Spirit points: 10 million. There was a huge difference between the two types of points he had with him because he had unlocked the bestial store and the bestial points after the war with the demons waspleted. Until then, whenever he or his contracted spirits or the elemental spirits killed king realm demons or above realm demons, Ajax received the spirit points ranging from 100 to 10000. ''With 10000 bestial points, I can buy a few bestial paradises; however, I will not have enough points to upgrade them. Moreover, the essence of nature in grade 3 elemental paradises was much purer than the grade 1 bestial paradises.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax didn''t waste the bestial points anymore as he was aiming to buy other things for his contracted spirit beasts when he had umted enough bestial points. ''As for the spirit points, I have more than 10 million spirit points with me now. I can upgrade the elemental paradises to another grade; however, I will keep the spirit points for my new elemental spirits.'' Simrly, Ajax didn''t waste his spirit points and wanted to buy the items after he got another batch of new elemental spirits. "Ajax, the treasure is about to be born. Come out and see it." Suddenly, Queen Siora''s voice resounded in the inner world, making Ajax hurriedlye out of it and replied, "Let''s go." Chapter 1453 Lesser World Fruit Ripens Chapter 1453 Lesser World Fruit Ripens¡¡¡¡"Let''s go." Ajax wanted to see how the lesser world tree forms the treasure. So, he didn''t waste any time and hurriedly left the tree chamber with Queen Siora. ... Outside the tree chamber, all the elves in the Ancient evergreen woods gathered around the lesser world tree to witness the birth of a treasure. Generally, the lesser world tree would produce less world fruit once every 100 years. It''s been only 15 years since they witnessed a lesser world fruit ripen on the lesser world tree; however, they didn''t expect another lesser world flower would bloom and turn into a lesser world fruit right in front of their eyes. "Everyone, be ready. As soon as the lesser world fruit ripens, the pure essence of nature will be released. It can help those who struck at the breakthroughs and as for others, they could stabilise their cultivation foundations." The leader of the patrol team Flinar shouted at all the elves, who nodded their heads with a serious look on their faces. "Huh? What is happening?" As soon as he came out of the tree chamber, Ajax was surprised to see thousands of elves were sitting in the cross-legged position. "Whenever a lesser world fruit ripens, it will be beneficial for the cultivation of all the elves. So, they don''t want to miss this opportunity to increase their cultivation." Queen Siora exined to Ajax with a slight smile and pointed at the branch before saying, "The lesser world fruit is about to ripen. The treasure will be inside the fruit." ''Hm'' Looking at the huge fruit that was about the size of a football hanging on the corner of the branch, Ajax nodded his head. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax and everyone around the lesser world tree were hit by a wave of the pure essence of nature. ''Ding, The host absorbed one million units of the essence of nature. ''What? One million units of the essence of nature?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notification. Even though he could tell that purity of the essence of nature was much higher than anything he had felt before, gaining one million units of the essence of nature just by standing was a little too much. Moreover, Ajax didn''t even try to absorb the essence of nature; instead, the essence of nature entered his body on its own. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was surprised with a million units of the essence of nature, he heard the crisp soundsing out of the elves'' bodies who were sitting around the tree to cultivate. Soon, their cultivation increased and the aura they emitted became stronger. ''No wonder, a lesser world tree or world tree is considered as a Godly being among the elves.'' Finally, Ajax understood the reason behind why the elves worship the lesser world tree and the world trees in every story he heard from Elder Boron. "Let''s see what type of treasure is hiding inside the lesser world fruit." The lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the entire region as the lesser world fruit was plucked by a thin branch. Everyone including Ajax was looking at the lesser world fruit with curious looks. ''Swoosh'' All of a sudden, the lesser world tree and the lesser world fruit both started shining with a bright light that blinded everyone. The bright light didn''tst for long before Ajax and everyone saw the treasure that came out of the lesser world fruit. "I-isn''t that¡­" Ajax was shocked and a little bit disappointed to see the so-called treasure that came out of the lesser world fruit. "That''s right! It is a lesser world tree''s seed." From the side, Queen Siora replied with a slight smile on her face. To her, no matter what itemes from the lesser world fruit, she was happy with it. However, Ajax was not excited about the treasure anymore because he already had one lesser world tree seed. Even though it was better to have two lesser worlds, nurturing them would make Ajax go bankrupt. He already has a ''Tree of blessing'', ''Soul nourishment tree'' and a rotten lesser world tree''s seed which became normal after using 10 drops of the nt essence. Nurturing three trees already required a lot of resources and he was not even able to find the resources for them. For ''Tree of blessing'', he needed Sacred energy or Sacred astral energy. For the Soul nourishment tree, he needed nt essence. He had already decided to nurture a lesser world tree into his normal elven world after seeing the benefits a lesser world tree gave to the elves. So, another lesser world tree was useless for him to nurture as it would only make his resources burn at a much faster rate. ''Should I just nurture two lesser world trees in my normal elven world since I can use the world cores to nurture them?'' Even though he learned that he could nurture the lesser world trees with the word cores, Ajax had other things to do with the world cores and he could get only one smaller world core daily. "Son-inw, I have no use for this seed because I can''t nurture another lesser world in this world as it would only make things difficult for both in the future." "Even if I can adjust, the five elemental world might not be able to bear nurturing two lesser world trees." Suddenly, the lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the surroundings as it continued to speak. "Since son-inw is able to travel between the worlds, you can try to nurture it in another one of his worlds or you can just sell it off to someone else at a good price." As soon as the lesser world tree finished its words, a branch brought the lesser world seed to Ajax. "..." Ajax remained silent for a moment before taking it. ''Since I can''t nurture two lesser world trees in a single world, I will just hold it with me until I conquer another elven world in the future.'' This was the conclusion he came to after taking the lesser world core. ***** Support Author''s new book for WSA 2022 ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1454 The Specaility of a Greater World Core Chapter 1454 The Specaility of a Greater World Core¡¡¡¡Ajax was sure that in his journey of destroying the demon worlds, he would find at least one elven world. So, he decided to store a lesser world tree''s seed for that world. As for when he would find a new elven world, only time will tell. "Thank you." Ajax thanked the lesser world tree and checked the world cores in his possession. ''Ding, Smaller world cores: 9 Normal world cores: 1 The reason why he checked the world cores was, that he wanted to test something. After checking the world cores in the inventory, Ajax asked the lesser world tree, "Mother-inw, can you produce another lesser world fruit if I give you another smaller world core?" If a lesser world tree could bear a lesser world fruit for every smaller world core, then Ajax could use a few more world cores to get some good treasures. "No. I was able to produce a lesser world fruit because it was my first time eating a smaller world core after a long time. Moreover, I have already umted some energy over thest 15 years. With the help of the smaller world core, even though I didn''t gain the remaining 85 years of energy, I was able to produce a lesser world fruit by sheer luck." After hearing the lesser world tree''s words, Ajax rejected the idea he was nning to use. "Oh." Nevertheless, Ajax nodded his head and asked, "So, how many smaller world cores do you need to produce a lesser world fruit?" "The more smaller world cores I eat, the fewer the benefits I will reap." The lesser world tree didn''t answer his question directly. "Hm¡­it ismon." Of course, Ajax was not surprised by those words because when something was used, again and again, the effects of that item were bound to lessen. "However, if I have a normal world core, I will produce another lesser world fruit instantly. After that, if I want to produce a world fruit, I have to consume multiple normal world cores." "As for the greater world cores, it is said that no matter how many I consume, the effects will not decrease." The lesser world tree was expecting to eat a Greater world core one day. "Greater world core¡­is definitely an invaluable treasure." Ajax nodded his head in agreement with the lesser world tree''s words. "Mother-inw, I will leave the five elemental world in your care while I was core. If there is anything urgent, you can contact me with my demonic avatar in this five elemental world." Even though Ajax had a normal world core, he was not nning to gamble on a treasure from the lesser world fruit. The chances of rare and valuable treasures appearing from the fruit were less. Moreover, it was not a smaller world core; instead, it was a normal world core that Ajax was not willing to risk. ''I have to nurture the world core in my elven world. So, it is better to not give away the world cores for the treasures.'' Ajax was willing to use the world cores to nurture a new lesser world treepared to using them to get a treasure. "Okay. Take care, son-inw. Come and see Siora once in a while." The lesser world tree didn''t force Ajax to stay or take Siora with him because they were not officially married yet. Moreover, the lesser world tree understood that Ajax would be venturing the worlds to increase his strength because Ajax''s cultivation was one major realm lower than Queen Siora. Therefore, she thought it would be better for Ajax to focus more on increasing his strength. "Of course, I wille and see her." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he looked at Siora and asked, "I can even take her with me if she wants toe with me." Their engagement was too sudden and they don''t know much about one another. So, Ajax felt it would be a good idea to know one another if they travelled together. "What do you say, Siora?" Ajax asked her. "No." However, Siora shook her head, making Ajax smile awkwardly. "It''s not a problem. If you don''t want toe, I am not going to force you." Ajax shrugged his hands because he was not the type to force everything to happen his way. "It''s not that I don''t want toe with you. It''s just that I can''t leave the five elemental world because I am still connected with my mother." In the next second, Queen Siora pointed at the lesser world tree and exined the reason behind why she could not go with Ajax. "So, you don''t have any problem with going with me if not for that connection?" Ajax could not help but revealed a bright smile on his face as he asked the elf queen. "Yes." Siora nodded in a low voice. "Son-inw, Siora''s connection with me will be severe when she reaches the peak emperor realm. If nothing unexpected happens, Siora will reach that level within the next five years." All of a sudden, the lesser world tree''s voice resounded in the surroundings, making Ajax nod his head. "I will wait until then." Since he had to increase his strength and find his mother, Ajax would be busy. So, he felt it was okay to wait for a few years. "By the way, I have a normal grade elven world and around 1000 elves. Should I send them here to cultivate?" At the same time, Ajax remembered about the elves in his elven world and asked the lesser world tree. Since the environment around the lesser world tree was the best cultivation paradise for the elves, Ajax requested a favour from the lesser world tree. "What? You have an elven world? A normal grade elven world?" The lesser world tree and Siora were surprised when they heard Ajax''s words and asked him. "Yes. However, the entire world only had around 1000 elves and their cultivation was still weak." Ajax exined everything regarding his normal grade elven world and after hearing his words, the lesser world tree agreed to his request and suggested something that made Ajax pleasantly surprised. ***** Support Author''s new book for WSA 2022 ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1455 Planting the Lesser World Trees Seed Chapter 1455 nting the Lesser World Tree''s Seed¡¡¡¡"ording to my ancestral memories, the growth of an elven world greatly depends on the number of elves living in that world. The more elves in the world, the faster the growth of the world. So, I suggest that the son-inw must find the treasures to increase the reproduction rate of the existing elves." "If these elves were not connected to me, I would have sent them to your world¡­sigh." At the end of her words, the lesser world tree sighed. Even though the Five elemental world was good for the elves, an elven world would be better. Ajax''s elven world was still recovering from its barren state. So, it would not be as good as the Five elemental world for now; however, in the future, when it haspletely recovered its resources, the Five elemental world won''t stand a chance against it. "Really?" Ajax didn''t know about such a thing. So, he was surprised when he heard about it from the lesser world tree. "Yes." "I will keep that in mind." Nodding his head, Ajax said, "I will the elves here. Please take care of them." "Of course. I consider all the elves as my children." The lesser world tree replied to Ajax and assured them. "Okay. I will leave the Five elemental world now." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax disappeared from his ce with a single thought. ''I think he will be just as powerful as the master.'' After Ajax disappeared from the ce, the lesser world tree silently thought to herself. As for Siora, she was lost in her thoughts and no one knew what she was thinking. .... In the normal grade elven world. ''Swoosh'' Ajax appeared in a forest that was filled with tree houses. ''Looks like the world is growing at a good speed.'' Previously the world lookedpletely barren with barely any trees; however, after he upgraded the world to normal grade, trees and nts were growing at a rapid speed. Moreover, the elves had already constructed their horses on the trees. ''Swoosh'' "Master." All of a sudden, a small elf fairy appeared in front of Ajax and respectfully greeted him. "You are here." Ajax nodded his head and ordered her, "Find a good ce to nurture a lesser world tree in this world." Since he had two lesser world tree''s seeds, Ajax nned to nt one seed in the normal grade eleven world before going to the Mutated bronze demon world to save the elemental spirit world. "I know a ce that is good for nurturing¡­wait a second¡­what did you say, master?" The elf fairy thought her master wanted to nurture a nt; however, when she realized what her master was nning to nurture, she was shocked and asked Ajax to repeat his words. "You heard it right. I have a lesser world tree''s seed and I am nning to nurture it in this world since you and the lesser world tree could help each other." The rtionship between the lesser world tree and the elven world could be considered a symbiotic rtionship. Because the lesser world tree would help all the elves living in the world within their cultivation. Whereas the world spirit could supply the nutrients and world energy to the lesser world tree which would help the tree in its growth. It was almost simr to the rtionship between the Five elemental world and the lesser world tree in it; however, the rtionship between the Normal grade elven world and the lesser world tree would be even better. "Master, you really got a lesser world tree''s seed? Great." Once the little fairy got confirmation from Ajax, it was excited and hurriedly showed a ce. It was a deep abyss and at the bottom of the abyss, there were countless nts and trees growing and it waspletely filled with greenery. "This is the best ce to nurture something so special like the lesser world tree." The fairy pointed at the bottom of the abyss and informed Ajax, "Also, this location is very close to the core realm. So, I can easily transfer some of my energy to nurture it." "Oh. Okay." Ajax understood why the growth of nts and the trees were very fast in the abyss. Therefore, he didn''t think much and flew to the bottom of the abyss along with the little fairy. Soon, he nted the seed and ced a smaller world core on it. "Now, all we have to do is wait, master." The little fairy flew around Ajax with an exciting look. "Is that it?" Ajax raised his brows because he didn''t even see the sprout of the lesser world tree, making him a little confused. Even though Ajax knew it would take time for the seed to germinate after nting, he was providing a valuable resource. So, of course, he was confused. "Master, the lesser world tree is different from the other trees. It will not grow instantly just because you provided it with a smaller world core. Please wait for 24 hours and see how much it will grow." With a mysterious smile, the little fairy asked Ajax to wait for a day. "24 hours?" Ajax nodded his head since 24 hours would pass in a sh. "In the meanwhile, if the master has any other things to do, you canplete them." The little fairy reminded Ajax to finish his other matters if he had any. "Hm." Nodding his head, Ajax created a small barrier around the abyss before flying out of the abyss along with the little fairy. "Send all the elves to the purple stone world and then using the teleportation circle in that world, teleport to the Five elemental world." Without wasting any time, Ajax exined the conversation between him and the lesser world tree and asked the little elf fairy to send everyone to the Five elemental world. "Yes, master." The little elf fairy nodded her head. "I need to go and save an elemental spirit world. I will try toe back as soon as possible." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax opened a portal and entered. ***** Support Author''s new book for WSA 2022 ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1456 Entering the Mutated Bronze Demon World Chapter 1456 Entering the Mutated Bronze Demon World¡¡¡¡In the mutated Bronze demon world, There is a huge castle in that world and inside that castle, a bronze demon king in ck robes was sitting cross-legged. ''During this trip, I have to capture at least a dozen elemental spirits.'' With an evil smile, the bronze demon king muttered to himself, ''The demand of the enved elemental spirits is growing day by day. If everything goes like that, I might be the sixth demon emperor with my own territory.'' When the bronze demon king thought about it, he could not help but be excited. Currently, he only owns a single smaller world. He amassed by selling the elemental spirits over the past few years, he was almost as rich as the five demon emperors. Even with such wealth, the bronze demon king didn''t dare to own a normal demon world and continued to nurture his bronze demon world and enved more and more elemental spirits. He was just waiting for a perfect opportunity to be the six demon emperors of the Demon cluster that was filled with demon worlds. ''Even though the demon emperors knew that I have been keeping the rare elemental spirits that have the potential to be the elemental spirit emperors, they will not act until I show my thirst for power.'' ''At the time, I will not even have the time to defend myself before getting killed by them. Therefore, I should only act when I am confident in bing the sixth demon emperor in a single go.'' The bronze demons belong to the weakest ss of the demon race and the current five demon emperors of the demon cluster would not ept a bronze demon bing the six demon emperors and sitting with them. So, he was careful with every single one of his actions. ... In some random ce. ''Swoosh'' A small portal opened as Ajax walked out of it and checked his surroundings. ''Huh? This bronze demon world ispletely different from the bronze demon worlds I visited previously.'' It was not Ajax''s first time visiting a Bronze demon world. In the past, he had destroyed more than a dozen bronze demon worlds; however, none of them looked like the current one. The surroundings were full of trees and weird nts. Overall, it seemed like the currently bronze demon world was filled with life energy and demonic energy, unlike the previous bronze demon world which waspletely barren and filled with only demonic energy. "Is it because of the mutation?" From the information given by the system, Ajax knew the reason why the bronze demon king of this world was able to enve the elemental spirits. It was because the bronze demon king and this world both were mutated for some unknown reason. ''Anyway, I have to finish the mission soon and prepare for the auction in the trader''s realm.'' Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the changes in the bronze demon world. ''I wonder if the bronze demon king has entered the elemental spirit world connected to this world?'' ording to the system, if he destroyed the bronze demon world, the elemental spirit world connected to it also gets destroyed. Not only that, even if he killed the bronze demon king, the elemental spirit world would be destroyed. That''s the reason why Ajax waited to build his strength because even a slight mistake would destroy the elemental spirit world. ''Now, not only did my spirit consciousness form be a lot stronger but if I focus, I can even use my skills and cultivation techniques in my spirit consciousness form.'' Previously when he had to drop a single drop of his blood on the world core of the Purple stone world, Ajax learned that he could bleed even in his spirit consciousness form. After that, whenever he had time in thest few days, Ajax trained in his spirit consciousness form to use the skills and the cultivation techniques and learned he could sessfully execute them. ''However, I can only use them multiple times before my spirit consciousness returns to my body.'' Ajax muttered the limitations of such ability and decided to finish the mission in a single go. At the same time, he hoped that the bronze demon king would enter the elemental spirit world in his spirit consciousness form. So that he could sever the connection between the bronze demon king and the elemental spirit world. ''As for the connection between the bronze demon world and the elemental spirit world, let''s not worry about it for now.'' The main problem at hand was the connection of the bronze demon king with the elemental spirit world. As long as he takes care of that, he could slowly take care of the second problem. ''Let''s find out whether the bronze demon king entered the elemental spirit world or not.'' ''Dragon wings.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax flew towards the huge castle with his new skill ''Dragon wings''. Of course, he killed all the bronze demons along the way the moment they saw him. ''Swoosh'' When he reached closer to the castle, Ajax stopped flying and slowly walked toward it. "No guards?" Ajax frowned when he saw there was not a single bronze demon guarding the huge castle. ''Looks like the bronze demon king was confident that no one would enter the world.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile and muttered, ''But, you have no idea that I can directly open a portal directly into this world.'' When he received this mission, the system also gave the world ticket that could open the portal to the mutated bronze demon world. And the bronze demon king was confident that no one would dare to invade his world despite being a smaller world because it was surrounded by more than 10 normal-grade demon worlds. ''Let''s enter.'' Ajax jumped the huge wall and entered the castle. "Intruder¡­intruder." However, the moment Ajax''s feet touch the ground a loud voice resounded in the entire bronze demon world. ***** Support Author''s new book for WSA 2022 ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1457 Becoming a Guest Chapter 1457 Bing a Guest¡¡¡¡Around the mutated bronze demon world, there were 10 normal-grade demon worlds. Moreover, in these 10 demon worlds, a second-order demon apostle along with a couple of first-order demon apostles was stationed just for his protection and at the same time to keep an eye on the bronze demon king. Since the mutated bronze demon world was in the Golden demon Emperor''s territory, it was an important asset for him. Therefore, he didn''t want something to happen to his golden goose. ¡­.. "There is an intruder in the demonic castle." "There is an intruder in the demonic castle." A group of earth elemental spirits came out of the ground and continued to shout with an emotionless look on their faces. ''Damn it.'' Hearing the loud rm "What the¡­" Ajax was shocked when he saw more than a dozen earth elemental spirits with level 1 elite elemental general realm cultivation. ''The elemental spirits are used as the guards?'' Suppressing his shock, disappeared from the ground and appeared behind those dozen elemental spirits, before knocking them out. Ajax didn''t want to kill them because he knew they were enved by the bronze demon king. ''Since they could increase their cultivation, it means they have a summoning master.'' For any elemental spirit, to increase its cultivation, it should form a contract with someone. Whether it was an official one or an unofficial one, it doesn''t matter. ''I just need to confirm whether the bronze demon king entered the elemental spirit world or not.'' ''Teleport'' ''Teleport'' With a clear goal in his head, Ajax continuously teleported himself inside the demonic castle. "How dare a human enter the demon king''s castle?" Soon, a few angry voices resounded in the demon king''s castle as Ajax was surrounded by a dozen high-level bronze demon kings. ''As I expected, this bronze demon world has more than a single high-level demon king.'' Looking at the 10 high-level demon kings, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. Generally, a smaller world has one to three high-level king realm cultivators and if Ajax was arrogant and entered the mutated bronze demon world when he was barely able to conquer the smaller demon worlds, he would have rested in peace in the ground. So, he heaved a sigh of relief for building the strength first, before entering the world. "I want to meet your king." Even though he was surrounded by 10 high-level demon kings, Ajax was not worried much because he could kill them without even activating his bloodline. Nevertheless, he didn''t kill them; instead, he said he wanted to meet the mutated bronze demon king. "Do you think our king will meet someone from a lowly human race?" The bronze demon kings scoffed at Ajax and said, "If you tell us how you enter this world, we can give you a quick and painless death." "Hm" Ajax already expected that meeting the bronze demon king was impossible with words alone. Nevertheless, he got an idea when he heard their question. Even though the high-level demon kings wanted to kill Ajax as soon as possible, they were curious about how Ajax was able to enter their world. "If you bring me to your king, I will answer that question." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax continued, "Also, you can go ahead and kill me; however, I entered this world as a messenger from my emperor. If you kill me, the consequences you are going face afterwards will be¡­.Haha" Ajax didn''t finish his words and left it to the high-level demon kings'' imagination. As for Ajax being a messenger of an emperor, it was a story that Ajax made up when the demon kings asked him how he entered their world. "What did you say?" The high-level demon kings released their full cultivation pressure and wanted to suffocate Ajax to make him answer their earlier question. However, for Ajax, even if a demon emperor released their cultivation pressure, they could not suffocate him, not to mention he would feel anything from the cultivation pressure of the high-level bronze demon kings. "No matter how much cultivation pressure you release, my mighty emperor has given me a pressure-nulifying talisman." While saying that, Ajax took out some random talisman and showed it to the high-level demon kings before putting it back. Generally, the demons don''t excel in talisman creations and they didn''t even have any interest in it. Moreover, Ajax only showed it for a brief moment. Therefore, the demon kings started showing some fear on their faces. "So, are you going to take me to your king? Our emperor wants to make a deal with your king. Let your king hear about the deal and you can easily kill me if you don''t like the deal." From beginning to end, Ajax didn''t show any fear and had a confident look, making the high-level bronze demon kings think that Ajax might really be a messenger of a human emperor. Moreover, Ajax only has the cultivation of the low-level king realm and if he tries anything funny, they could kill him with a snap. At least that''s what they thought in their heads. "Currently, our king has just entered into a secluded cultivation." "Yeah. If you really want to meet him, then you can only wait in the guest room." "You, guide this human to the guest room." The high-level demon kings didn''t give any time for Ajax to react as they ordered one of the demon servants to take Ajax to a guest room. They just want to check whether there were any armies that were trying to invade their world. So, they tried to send Ajax into a guest room before checking that. "I don''t mind waiting. Whether it is a human or a demon, it is not good to disturb them when they are in secluded cultivation." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to the high-level demon kings before following the demon servant. ''Looks like the mutated demon king has just entered the elemental spirit world. What a nice time.'' Ajax was excited as he could not wait to enter the guest room. ***** Support Author''s new book for WSA 2022 ''Talent Swallowing Hero''. Chapter 1458 Quasi Unofficial Contract Chapter 1458 Quasi Unofficial Contract¡¡¡¡The reason why Ajax entered the demonic castle was to see whether the mutated bronze demon king had entered the elemental spirit world nor not. So, when he heard that the bronze demon king had just started his secluded cultivation, Ajax was excited and entered the so-called guest room. Ajax knew what that secluded cultivation meant. It means the mutated bronze demon king had entered the elemental spirit world to capture more elemental spirits. ''White, protect me when I enter the Elemental spirit world.'' As soon as he entered the guest room, Ajax summoned a little 10-year-old boy and asked him to protect his body. "Yes, brother." The cute little boy in white clothes nodded his head and with a serious look which made him look even cuter. He was none other than the little snow lion who settled in his inner world after the battle with the demons ended. He was frustrated that he was not much help in the world because his strength was not even king realm because of his re-cultivation process. So, he took permission from his parents and entered a bestial ice paradise inside the inner world to cultivate. After ten days of serious cultivatio inside the inner world, he had sessfully became a king realm re-cultivated beast with the battle prowess that were enough to fight against a mid-level king rem cultivator. Among the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, he was the only one who looked weak as he could perfectly hide his cultivation. ''Since the demon kings would definitely spy on me, it is better to fool them with Litlte white''s cute appearance.'' It was Ajax''s attempt to fool the demon kings, in case they were having second thoughts regarding him when he was inside the elemental world. ''Let''s enter.'' Soon, he sat in a cross-legged position and entered the elemental spirit world. ¡­ In some random ce, Elemental spirit world, ''Swoosh'' Ajax''s spirit consciousness appeared in the elemental spirit world. ''This body is filled with the demonic essence of nature.'' Even though he left the bronze demon world, he still felt the same essence of nature in the elemental spirit world. ''It looks like the elemental spirit world is getting corroded by the demonic essence of nature day by day.'' Even though an elemental spirit world is known for absorbing all types of energy, when it was filled with the demonic essence of nature, the other elemental essence of nature would disappear. Once the entire elemental world was filled with the demonic essence of nature, all the elemental spirits except for the demonic elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world would either corrode or die. ''I wonder whether that mutated bronze demon king knew about it?'' Ajax was sure that the mutated bronze demon king didn''t have any clue about it. ''Swoosh'' ''Huh?'' Suddenly, a holographic timer appeared in front of him before turning into very small and settled in one corner. ''24 hours? Is it telling me that I can stay in the elemental spirit world for 24 hours?'' It was not his first time seeing a timer; however, it was his first time seeing it appear in the elemental spirit world. ''Is it because the system is currently under upgrading?'' If the system was not under upgrading, it would send a couple of system notifications and inform him about his remaining time in the elemental spirit. ''I hope I can find the spirit consciousness of the Bronze demon king as soon as possible.'' Since he could only stay in the elemental spirit world for a limited time, Ajax wanted to find the bronze demon king as soon as possible andplete the mission. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started his search as he flew in the air to cover as much distance as possible. ¡­.. At another random ce in the elemental spirit world, "Where are you all hiding? Come out and greet your master." The mutated bronze demon king''s spirit consciousness form was not as clear as Ajax''s spirit consciousness. From this, it was evident that the bronze demons were not suited for ying in the spirit consciousness form. Currently, he had an evil smile as he shouted as loudly as possible. "If you are not going toe out in a few seconds, I will release all the demonic energy I stored in my spirit consciousness into this world¡­Keke." At the same time, he revealed an eerie chuckle and continued, "You do know what would happen if I repeated the process for a hundred¡­no thousand times?" "This time, I want at least a dozen elemental spirits unless you all want to either die or corrode with my demonic essence of nature." He was threatening all the elemental spirits around him that were hiding in their hideouts. "Swoosh" "Swoosh" Soon, 12 elemental spirits that were obviously beaten by their fellow elemental spirits started walking towards the Bronze demon king. "Keke¡­I know you value your own life a lot." The mutated bronze demon king chuckled once again as he walked closer towards the 12 injured elemental spirits. "Shall we form a quasi unofficial contract now?" Even though he said that, the demon king didn''t bother to wait for the reply from the elemental spirits as he directly ced his hand on them and started forming the contract with them. Quasi unofficial contract is the lowest grade of contract a summoner could form with an elemental spirit because of the following reasons. 1) It only takes 30 minutes to form that contract. 2) It is very easy to break the contract without any side-effects on the summoner''s body and the elemental spirit''s body. 3) After breaking the contract, the elemental spirit can''t return to the elemental spirit world anymore. So, the mutated bronze demon king could easily leave a ve mark on them and fully control them without any contract. Obviously, it was not his first time doing something like this. So, the mutated bronze king was fast with the contract process which only took 25 minutes. ''So, here you are.'' From the distance, Ajax revealed an excited smile when he saw the bronze demon king in the distance. Chapter 1459 Mutated Bronze Demon Kings Goal Chapter 1459 Mutated Bronze Demon King''s Goal¡¡¡¡''So, you are here. I have been searching for you for thest four hours.'' Ajax has been searching for the mutated bronze demon king for thest four hours and just when he was nning to take a break for some time, he saw the bronze demon king. In front of the bronze demon king, there were 12 elemental spirits with different elemental attributes standing obediently. ''Huh? Why are they so obedient? Why weren''t they so obedient when I entered the elemental spirit world?'' Even though the elemental spirits were tired of living in the elemental spirit world, they would not form contracts with some random summoner. They have their own expectations for their summoning master. So, when Ajax looked at how obediently they were forming the contract with the mutated bronze demon king, he could not help but frown. ''Wait a second. What kind of contract is that? He is so fast.'' Even though Ajax only took a few minutes to form a contract with an elemental spirit, he knew that the other summoners would take at least three hours for an unofficial contract and six hours for an official contract. Whereas he saw that the bronze demon king was able to form the contract in less than 30 minutes. Hence, he was both shocked and surprised. ''Anyway, let''s not waste time thinking about the contract.'' Nevertheless, shaking his thoughts aside, Ajax focused on what he had to do. "ording to the system, I have to serve the connection between the mutated bronze demon king and the elemental spirit world; however, I am unable to enter the core realm of the elemental spirit. So, I can only do something about the demon king''s spirit consciousness form." Looking at the bronze demon king in the distance, Ajax started devising a n to sever the connection between the world and the demon king. ''But I don''t know how to do that.'' However, Ajax had never done it before. So, of course, he was clueless about what to do and how to do it. ''If only the system was here, it would have helped me.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought about the system and realized how much he was relying on it. Even though Ajax already knew about it, he felt he was over-relying on the system just like his father said. ''Wait a second. What if severing the connection between the demon king and the elemental spirit world was just like erasing the spirit imprint from the elemental spirit''s body?'' After racking his brains a little, Ajax was able to think of an idea that might work. ''Let''s do it.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax flew out of his hiding ce andnded in front of the mutated demon king. "Looks like the demon king is creating an elemental spirit army." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax said to the mutated demon king. "Huh? A human? In my elemental spirit world?" With the sudden appearance of Ajax, the mutated demon king frowned; however, that frown turned into a pleasantly surprised. "You look young; however, you have already be a king realm cultivator. Looks like you will make a good ve." From Ajax''s spirit consciousness form, the bronze demon would tell Ajax''s cultivation and decided to turn him into a ve before using him as a spy in the human worlds. "Sigh¡­why do all the demon kings and demon emperors think the same? Why are you so dying to enve the young humans?" Ajax sighed as it was not his first time hearing those words from a demon king''s mouth. "Huh?" The mutated demon king frowned and asked the elemental spirits, "Stand aside. I will find the contract process after I take care of him." As soon as he finished his words, the demon king flew towards Ajax and gave a powerful punch that sted Ajax a few meters into the air. "Since you are in the spirit consciousness form, it makes things easy for me to enve you¡­haha." With a chuckle, the demon king once again flew at Ajax at an incredible speed beforending another punch. ''Damn it¡­he is much faster than I thought.'' Ajax didn''t expect that the bronze demon king was so strong in his spirit consciousness form, making him hard to dodge the attacks. "The heavens want me to rule that entire universe. That''s the reason why I was able to mutate along with my bronze demon world which strengthened my spirit consciousness by a lot." After throwing the second punch at Ajax, the mutated bronze demon king started exining why he was so strong despite being in the spirit consciousness form. It was a known fact that the bronze demons could not condense their spirit consciousness form unless they reached the emperor realm cultivation which was impossible for the bronze demons to achieve. So, when he mutated along with the world and was even capable of condensing a spirit consciousness form, the mutated demon king assumed that the heavens were blessing him and wanted him to rule the entire universe under the heavens. "So, if you obediently be my ve and follow my orders, you might reap great benefits when I be the Master of this universe." Even though he was strong, the mutated demon king was tired after forming a contract with eight elemental spirits. So, he didn''t want to waste more energy fighting Ajax as he had other ns to do. "Yeah..yeah. The emperors of all the races in this universe are just waiting for you to be the master of the universe." Ajax mocked the bronze demon king and asked, "So, when are you going to wake up from that dream?" "..." The mutated demon king became furious when he heard Ajax''s mocking words. "How about this¡­if you swear your loyalty to me, I might spare your life." Seeing that the bronze demon king remained silent, Ajax proposed a deal in return. "Haha¡­.this is the biggest joke I have ever heard." "I think you must be living under some rock until now. It''s time toe out, I will protect you." In reply to the demon king''s words, Ajax once again mocked with a calm look on his face. Chapter 1460 Making a Deal Chapter 1460 Making a Deal¡¡¡¡When Ajax said that he would protect the mutated bronze demon king, he was just joking and he never had any intentions to let the mutated bronze demon king live after what he did and continued doing to the elemental spirits. "Kid, looks like your parents didn''t teach you properly." As soon as he finished his words, the mutated bronze demon king flew towards Ajax and tried to give his full powered punch. "Do you think I will continue to receive your punches?" Even though the mutated bronze demon king was fast, Ajax could easily dodge the iing punch. So, he dodged it and said, "Since you are having all the punches from thest few minutes, it is my turn now." ''Advanced spatial des.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax released three spatial des at the mutated bronze demon king. ''Since I am in the spirit consciousness form, there is no need to waste my energy by releasing so many spatial des.'' Ajax knew that even a single spatial de would be deadly to someone who was in the spirit consciousness form. Nevertheless, he wanted to be on the safe side and released three spatial baldes. "What? How can you use a skill in the spirit consciousness form?" The bronze demon king was shocked when he saw Ajax was able to use a skill when he was in the spirit consciousness form and at the same time, they were currently in the elemental spirit world where no one can use any skills. "Just because you didn''t know about it, doesn''t mean it is impossible to use the skills or techniques in the spirit consciousness form." Even though Ajax also learned about it very recently, he was able to ept the fact that it was possible. However, the mutated bronze demon king seemed to not ept that face. ''sh'' ''sh'' ''Puchi'' As he was in a state of temporary shock with what he had witnessed, the mutated bronze demon king was unable to dodge the three iing spatial des. Two of those spatial des chopped off his hands and the third spatial de pierced through his chest, leaving a hole in his body. "Aargh" Even though there was no bleeding from his injuries, the mutated bronze demon king felt an unbearable pain and wanted to leave the elemental spirit world. ''This human brat is definitely not normal. I need to escape from here.'' Despite being so proud of his abilities, the mutated bronze demon king was not embarrassed to escape when there was a life and death situation. Just a single attack from the other party had reduced him to a handicap and if he stayed any longer, the other might toy with him. "If you are able to enter this world, I think you are currently in my bronze demon world, right? Let''s meet there¡­Keke." Suppressed his pain beneath the evil chuckle, the mutated bronze demon king decided to leave the elemental spirit world. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a portal appeared beside the bronze demon king and he tried to enter the portal. "Where do you think you are going?" Ajax scoffed at the demon king who was nning to escape from the elemental spirit world and released a single ''Advanced Spatial de'' this time. ''sh'' Before the demon king could jump into the portal, the spatial de struck in his transparent body and pushed him away from the portal. "Damn it¡­brat. If you really want a fight, let''s fight in the real world and not in the elemental spirit world." The mutated bronze demon king''s spirit consciousness form started flickering as though it might disappear any time. ''Looks like it is working.'' Ajax didn''t bother to reply to the demon king''s words; instead, he was happy with the n he had divised to save the elemental spirit world and the elemental spirits in it. "Why should I go and fight you in the real world where you can easily kill me?" In the next second, Ajax slowly walked towards the bronze demon king and asked with a slight smile, "However, if you can do one thing, I might let you go back to your world." "What thing?" The bronze demon king looked at Ajax with an angry look; however, he still asked what he wanted. If a cultivator''s spirit consciousness form was destroyed beyond a certain point, it would disappear forever and the main body would fall into an eternal sleep. Destroying the spirit consciousness formpletely before it returned to the main body would basically kill the cultivator. So, when the bronze demon king heard Ajax''s words, he didn''t think much and decided to agree to Ajax''s deal first. As long as he leaves this elemental spirit world, the bronze demon king could take revenge against Ajax in 100 ways. ''Since you are in my world, I will definitely show you who you messed up.'' The bronze demon king didn''t have his hands to clench his fist; however, he was determined to take the fight against Ajax after going back to his world. "I heard you have some connection with the elemental spirit world and I want you to give it to me." Ajax didn''t ask the mutated bronze demon king to sever his connection without the elemental spirit world; instead, he asked the demon king to give it to him. "You want the control over the elemental spirit world?" The bronze demon king was a little surprised; however, he finally understood Ajax''s objective behind messing with him. ''So, he wants the elemental spirit world?'' Surprisingly, the bronze demon king was not furious; instead, he revealed a slight smile on his face, making Ajax frown. "If I give you the control over its elemental spirit world, you will let me go, right?" In the next second, a small pill-sized transparent pearl came out of the bronze demon king''s body. "The moment this pearl leaves my spirit consciousness form, it can only survive for one minute. If you can''t refinine it within a minute, it will be destroyed and along with it, the elemental spirit world will also get destroyed. So, don''t waste your energy on me." As soon as he finished his words, the demon king summoned a portal and left the elemental spirit world. Chapter 1461 Elemental Spirit Worlds Pearl Chapter 1461 Elemental Spirit World''s Pearl¡¡¡¡Ajax didn''t bother about the mutated bronze demon king who escaped the elemental spirit world because Ajax was looking at the shining pearl that was floating in the mid-air. With the help of the system''s appraisal, Ajax could tell that the bronze demon king didn''t lie about the pearl because as long as one holds the pearl, they could control this elemental spirit world. ''Ding, Item name: Elemental spirit world''s pearl. Use: 1) As long as a summoner refines the pearl, they will be connected with the elemental spirit world and can enter the world once every month. 2) If the summoner destroys the pearl, the entire elemental spirit world that is connected with the summoner through that pearl will be destroyed. Current master: None. The moment the pearl came out of the bronze demon king''s body, a holographic screen appeared in front of Ajax with full information about the pearl. ''So, this is how he was able to control the elemental spirit world.'' After reading the information about the pearl, Ajax understood how the mutated bronze demon king was able to control the elemental spirit world. ''Anyway, let''s refine this pearl first.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax tossed the pearl into his mouth. Since it was not his physical body, Ajax was not worried much about it. ''I will give some ce for the pearl to stay inside my spirit consciousness.'' Since he was in the spirit consciousness form, no matter where he stored the pearl, it would appear in his spirit consciousness in the physical body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining an ''Elemental spirit world''s pearl''. ''That''s it? I refined it just like that?'' Actually, Ajax thought he had to use his essence of nature to form a connection with the pearl; however, the sudden system notification pleasantly surprised him. ''Phew¡­with this pearl, it can be considered that Ipleted 80 percent of the mission.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he knew he had almostpleted the mission. ''As long as I kill the mutated bronze demon king, the mission will bepleted, right?'' He could not help but want to rush back to the bronze demon world to kill the mutated bronze demon king. However, when he saw the elemental spirits that were cowering in fear in the distance, he shook his head. "They formed some kind of contract with that b*stard. He can summon them to the bronze demon world with a single thought. I need to do something about it." It was amon fact that a summoner could summon the elemental spirits that formed a contract with him. However, Ajax didn''t want the mutated demon king to summon them out of the elemental spirit world. So, he decided to help them. ''Since the demon king''s spirit consciousness got badly hurt, he can''t summon them yet. It will take quite a long time for him to recover from the injuries I made on him.'' The injuries to the spirit consciousness form would affect the cultivators in a lot of ways. So, Ajax was sure that the bronze demon king would recover himself before doing other things. ''I doubt he will order his minions to capture me for a while.'' At the same time, Ajax was sure that he didn''t have to worry that the high-level demon kings would barge into his room. ''It''s time to break some contract.'' Soon, he flew towards the 12 elemental spirits that were still cowering in fear. Even though the human in front of them had got the elemental spirit world''s pearl, they still didn''t know what intentions that human had for them. So, when they saw Ajax flying towards them, they unconsciously took a few steps back; however, remembering that he was the new master of the elemental spirit world, they stopped in their tracks. "Come here. I will break the contract you formed with the bronze demon king." Ajax was able to sense the fear in their eyes and slowly informed them that he would help them. "Really?" "Are you going to form a new contract with us after you resolve that contract?" "Shh¡­what are you saying? It is our blessing to be the master''s elemental spirits." Each elemental spirit had a different thought in their heads. Some were excited, some were doubtful and a couple of elemental spirits were already trying to be in the good books of Ajax. ''Sigh'' Seeing their antics, Ajax could not help but shake his head and said, "There is no need to worry about the contract. I will not force you to form a contract with me." Even though he had be the master of the elemental spirit world before he could realize it, Ajax was not nning to form the unofficial contracts with all the elemental spirits. Because he didn''t know what kind of side effects he would get by forming contracts with countless elemental spirits. Moreover, he already has a lot of elemental spirits with him and the resources he needed for them were huge. ''Anyway, I don''t need to form contracts with so many elemental spirits. Also, as long as I am the master of the elemental spirit world, I can enter this world and form the contract if I ever wanted an elemental spirit.'' Even though Ajax wanted to form an official contact with one of the elemental spirits to awaken a new talent, Ajax controlled his urge. ''Since I have an entire elemental world for myself, I can slowly check a suitable elemental spirit to form an official control.'' Ajax didn''t have to worry about wasting his time in searching for a good elemental spirit to form an official contract because even if he didn''t find a suitable elemental spirit, he could alwayse back in a month''s time to form the official contract. "One by one,e to me." Soon, Ajax put away those thoughts and started working on the elemental spirits'' contract after activating his title ''Contract breaker''. ''Huh? It is much easier than the spirit imprints I destroyed in the past.'' Ajax became excited as he was able to destroy the spirit imprint left by the bronze demon king easily. While Ajax was breaking the spirit imprint, from the distance, one elemental spirit after another starteding towards Ajax with curious looks on their faces. Chapter 1462 Little White wants to show his strength (1) Chapter 1462 Little White wants to show his strength (1)¡¡¡¡In the Bronze demon world, ''Damn it¡­I am going to kill him today.'' After returing to his body, the mutated bronze demon king was furious and wanted to find Ajax as soon as possible. ''Aargh'' However, he was unable to move his body because of all the injuries he had received when he was in his spirit consciousness form. ''It looks like I need to recover from my injuries first.'' Gritting his teeth the demon king endured the pain and decided to recover his spirit consciousness before looking for Ajax. ''Activate the formation.'' With a single thought, he activated a formation around his bronze demon world that would not allow anyone to leave the world without his permission. ''Let''s see how you will escape from this world.'' After activating the formation, the mutated bronze demon king felt assured and closed his eyes to recover the injuries on his spirit consciousness. ... In the elemental spirit world, "That''s thest spirit imprint." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he finally destroyed the spirit imprint from the eight elemental spirit. "You are finally free. There is no need to force yourself to form a contract with me." Since all 12 elemental spirits havemon elements, Ajax was not interested in any of them. So, he didn''t force any elemental spirit. Moreover, Ajax felt it was better for these elemental spirits to rest for sometime before making their decision to form the contract with any summoner. "Thank you, master." Not only the 12 elemental spirits, but the other elemental spirits that slowly surrounded Ajax while he was breaking the spirit imprints from the elemental spirits also thanked him. "From now on, no elemental spirit has to be scared of the bronze demon king anymore." Looking at the hundreds of elemental spirits around him, Ajax assured them they don''t have to worry anymore about the mutated bronze demon king. "Also, I will connect this elemental spirit world with a normal world. So, be prepared to choose your own summoning master." Just because he became the master of the elemental spirit world, Ajax didn''t want to keep all the elemental spirits in this world for himself. Instead, he decided to connect this elemental spirit world with the Purple stone world and let the cultivators from the Purple stone world form a contract with the elemental spirits. ''I wonder whether it was possible for the Purple stone world''s cultivators to enter this new elemental spirit world?'' Since the Purple stone world already has an elemental spirit world, Ajax wondered about it. ''Nevermind, I will just try and check for myself. If they were unable to enter, I would have to either find a new world without any elemental spirit or find a way to connect the second elemental spirit world with the Purple stone world.'' Since the system was not in a position to answer his questions, Ajax decided to find the answer for himself; instead of waiting for the system to finish its upgrade. Moreover, he had already concluded what he had to do if the Purple stone world''s cultivators were unable to enter the second elemental spirit world which shows that he was slowly stopping relying on the system for everything. "We believe in the master." Since Ajax controls the fate of their world now, even if the elemental spirits didn''t believe Ajax, they didn''t dare to show any disrespect. ''Looks like it will take some time for them to believe me.'' From the elemental spirits'' expressions, Ajax could easily tell that except for the 12 elemental spirits he just saved from the mutated bronze demon king, the rest of the elemental spirits were just saying those words for namesake. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t mind because he knew they went through a lot and it would take some time for them to adjust to their new master. "Okay then. I will be leaving now. Inform the other elemental spirits in this elemental spirit world about today''s events and ask them to not worry about the demon king anymore." Ajax left a few more words for the elemental spirits around him, before leaving the elemental spirit world. ''Swoosh'' ''Finally, he felt.'' ''Yes. Even though the new master looks less scary than the previous master, we don''t know how much we can trust this new master.'' ''Yeah. We should not judge someone solely based on their appearance.'' As soon as Ajax left the elemental spirit world, they started talking among themselves. ¡­.. In the Bronze demon world, ''Phew'' Ajax opened his eyes in the guest room of the demonic castle with a relieved look. ''Now, it is time to finish the mission.'' Unlike the mutated bronze demon king who was severely injured and unable to move his own body aftering back from the elemental spirit world, Ajax was in a much better condition. Moreover, he didn''t want to waste any more time andplete the mission by killing the mutated bronze demon king and by destroying the mutated bronze demon world. "White, we never fought together right?" Looking at the 10 years old boy in white robes, Ajax said, "I want to see how strong you have be." The little snow lion was cultivating along with his parents and never travelled with Ajax on his world conquering missions. Therefore, Ajax wanted to see how strong the little snow lion was. So that he could know what type of missions he could give him in the future. "Very strong, big brother Ajax." Little white proudly said, "From now on, I will protect big brother Ajax." "Really? From now on, I will be in your protection then." Ajax jokingly replied to little white before saying, "Let''s go and say hello to the king of this world." "I have been waiting for this moment for a while now." Even though Little white was very young, his bestial nature told him that they were going to do some killling. So, he was excited to show his strength and hurriedly followed Ajax and exited the door. "His highness is yet toe out of his sec¡­" "White." "Got it." ''Puchi'' Before the low-level demon king could finish his words, Little white threw a sharp ice shard at the demon, which pierced the demon''s throat and killed him in a second. Chapter 1463 Little White wants to show his strength (2) Chapter 1463 Little White wants to show his strength (2)¡¡¡¡''Puchi'' ''Thud'' The low-level demon king didn''t even have the time to dodge the sharp ice shard as he directly fell to the ground with lifeless looks in his eyes. "Woah. Little white is really stronger than I thought." Ajax genuinely praised the little boy. "Hehe¡­I didn''t even use my average attacks, big brother." With a sheepish smile, little white replied to Ajax. "What?" Ajax was surprised and silently thought, ''I wonder whether he could kill the high-level demon kings?'' ''Ding, A special mission has been generated in the Bestial mission tab. Please check it. ''Huh? A new mission? At a time like this?'' Ajax frowned for a moment; however when his eyesnded on Little white, he could guess the mission. From the mission, Ajax could get three types of missions. One is for him and the remaining two were for his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts respectively. Currently, the system had triggered a mission for a contracted spirit beast and without much thinking, Ajax could tell the mission was for Little white. ''Ding, Mission Name: White''s first official fight. Details: Even though the little snow lion has an Emperor realm bloodline, good battle prowess and skills, he didn''t venture to other worlds. He wanted to test his own battle prowess and wanted to prove that he could finally help the host in taking care of his enemies. Mission Objective: Don''t interfere and let the re-cultivated snow lion have fun in the Bronze demon world. Mission Reward: Map to the Peak- Emperor realm spirit beast''s inheritance ground. Soon, the mission details appeared in front of him. ''What?'' Ajax had already expected that the mission was for little White; however, when he saw the mission reward, he was shocked. ''Inheritance ground of a Peak-Emperor realm spirit beast. The system has such a treasure with it all along?'' Ajax silently thought to himself. Since Elder Boron was in secluded cultivation, the item must be left by his father which means that the item was with the system from the start. ''I wonder what other treasures my father had stored for me.'' Ajax knew the system was hiding the most valuable treasures forst because those treasures would be useless without his strength. ''No wonder, the system was asking me to upgrade my strength.'' Shaking those thoughts away, Ajax looked at Little white and said, "Little White, if I ask you to take care of all the demon kings in this world, what will you do?" "..." Little white remained silent for a second before saying, "Give me three hours, big brother Ajax." As soon as he finished his words, Little white roared at the sky and the entire demonic castle shook a little. "What''s happening?" "Why is the demonic castle shaking?" "Is it a Demonquake?" The demons that work in the demonic castle were scared a little and hurriedly left the demonic castle. "Big brother Ajax, why don''t you go out of the demonic castle? I will destroy it once you leave." Little white revealed a slight smile on his face as though he realized something from his earlier roar and asked Ajax to leave the demonic castle. "Okay." Even though Ajax didn''t know what Little White was nning to do, he didn''t bother him and quietly left the demonic castle. ''As long as he is not in any danger, I will let him do whatever he wants.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he left the demonic castle. ''Roar'' "Rumble" As soon as Ajax left the demonic castle, a heaving defying roar resounded in the entire bronze demon world and the entire castle crumbled. "What is that roar?" "When did such a powerful spirit beast appear in our world?" "The majesty will not be happy when he sees this favourite demonic castle destroyed." . . All the bronze demons were shocked by the roar; however, what shocked them, even more, was the demonic castle. The demonic castle was specially built by their king by spending a lot of spirit stones; however, now it was destroyed. "Wait a second¡­is it because of that human?" One of the bronze demons pointed at Ajax who was also looking at the copsed demonic castle with a surprised look and shouted that he was responsible for the destruction of the demonic castle. "Is that true? Are you behind the destruction of the demonic castle?" Even though all the demons around Ajax were angry, the few high-level demon kings who knew about Ajax''s identity stopped others and asked Ajax in a serious tone. "Hm¡­you could say that I am the reason behind its destruction." Since the little snow lion was Ajax''s contracted spirit beast and he destroyed the demonic castle because Ajax asked him to kill all the bronze demons in this world, it makes Ajax the mastermind. So, he nodded his head saying that he was the reason behind its destruction. "Human, how dare you destroy the demonic castle." As soon as they heard Ajax''s reply, they were shocked because Ajax didn''t show any fear and looked very calm when agreeing that he destroyed the demonic castle. "Since you destroyed the demonic castle, you gave us no choice but to kill you." The high-level demon kings didn''t hold back their anger towards Ajax anymore and decided to kill him. "Die" Soon, more than a dozen high-level demon kings rushed at Ajax with full killing intent. "As long as I am here, you can''t touch big brother Ajax." However, before the high-level demon kings could reach Ajax, a white silhouette came out of the rumbles and stood in front of Ajax. "Huh? Another human?" "No¡­he is a re-cultivated spirit beast." With a single nce, the high-level demon kings could tell that Little white was a re-cultivated spirit beast. However, Little white was too young and had only low-level bestial king realm cultivation. So, the high-level demon kings didn''t stop rushing toward Ajax. "Since you look down on your opponents a lot, you will not survive for much longer." In the next second, the little white roared, ''Snow Lion Emperor Bloodline, activate.'' Chapter 1464 Amy Undergoes Bone Re-Structuring Process Chapter 1464 Amy Undergoes Bone Re-Structuring Process¡¡¡¡''Roar'' As soon as Little White activated his emperor-level bloodline, a phantom of a huge white-coloured winged lion appeared above him. It roared at the sky and all the bronze demons that were rushing toward Ajax fell to the ground, kneeling. ''What is it? His bloodline materialized such a powerful lion phantom?'' Even though Ajax felt nothing because of his title ''Emperor of the Worlds'', he could tell that the phantom was very powerful with a single nce. "Emperor of the Snow Storms." Even when all the bronze demons were kneeling on the ground, Little White didn''t show any mercy as he used one of his most powerful skills. ''Swoosh'' Soon, three huge snow storms formed some distance away from Little White as they started sweeping the bronze demons around them. ''Damn it¡­he is just a low-level bestial king but he could already sweep an entire smaller world.'' Ajax was getting one shock after another because of Little White''s actions. Because he had never thought that the small lion cub he had saved a year back had grown to the level where it could tten the smaller worlds as though they were nothing. "Little White, don''t harm the elemental spirits." Nevertheless, he came out of his shocked state and informed Little White not to harm the elemental spirits. Since the mutated bronze demon king was able to enter the elemental spirit world, he had brought a dozen or so elemental spirits in his every visit to the elemental spirit world and he was doing it for years. Even after selling 90 percent of themon elemental spirits to the Golden Demon Emperor, the mutated bronze demon king had hundreds of elemental spirits in his world. Among these hundreds of elemental spirits, not a single one of them was spared as the mutated bronze demon king had turned them into ves by making the elemental spirits form the contract with his loyal subordinates. ''Since I can break the demon imprint from their bodies and free them, there was no need to kill him.'' Ajax didn''t want to kill the elemental spirit because he knew they were just following the orders of their summoning master. Moreover, he was sure that no elemental spirit liked to form the contract with the bronze demon because it suppresses their consciousness and makes them puppets of the bronze demon kings. "Sure, Big brother Ajax." Little white looked at the elemental spirits that were standing without any expression on their faces and nodded his head. ''Swoosh'' Little White controlled his huge snowstorm and left the elemental spirits intact. "Big Brother, I will go and clear the entire bronze demon world. Wait for me for a few hours." Soon, little white flew into the snow storm without waiting for Ajax''s reply. ''He seems like he is enjoying the destruction.'' Ajax shook his head with a slight smile on his face and decided to work on the elemental spirits that were standing some distance away from him. Since their masters were all killed by Little white, they just became puppets without a master. Moreover, it makes Ajax''s works of destroying the spirit imprint even easier. Therefore, he didn''t waste any more time because there were more than a hundred elemental spirits in front of him. ''I think there are more elemental spirits all over the world.'' Ajax knew he had a lot of work to do now and started the work. ¡­.. In a faraway world from Ajax''s current location. ''Master, the pain¡­it is killing me. Can you stop the bone-restructuring process? I can do it when I enter the King realm.'' A young girl around 16 years old was sitting in a cross-legged position as she groaned in pain. At the same time, she seemed to be talking to someone; however, other than the girl, there was no one in that cave. ''I already said, I will only ept you as my disciple if you canplete the bone-restructuring process. Also, I am not forcing you to do it. It is you who wants to take revenge. If you want to give up, you can just stop circting the cultivation technique.'' In the next second, a cold woman''s voice resounded in her head, making her grit her teeth. ''That''s right! If I give up just because of this pain, then how can I take revenge on those b*stards and b*tches in this life?'' Gritting her teeth, Amy steeled her heart and decided to endure the pain or at least die while finishing the process. Because she didn''t want to give up a chance to take revenge. Moreover, she had experienced the powers of this voice in her head who said she would help her in taking revenge. However, before that, Amy had to restructure her bones and be a student of that voice. ''I have already passed my master''s first test of clearing a trial in a mysterious world. As long as I endure the pain, I can be her disciple.'' Just like Ajax, Amy had to go through a trial and she passed without much difficulty; however, the woman in her head stated a condition that was to restructure her bones. Actually, it would have been not a problem for her to restructure her bones if she was entering into a king realm; however, the mysterious woman in her head destroyed her already pitiful cultivation and started restructuring her bones. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the bone structuring process. Just when Amy thought she was going to die, she heard a familiar system notification in her head. ''The emotionless voice is back.'' Amy became excited because ording to the mysterious woman, it was a Mythical grade artifact and she will be gifting it to her as long as she bes her disciple. ''Congrattions. From now on, you are the disciple of M Spiriteye.'' At the same time, the woman''s voice appeared in Amy''s head, informing her that she had sessfully be her disciple. ''Thank you, master.'' Amy was over the moon and hurriedly bowed to show respect to her master. ''Shall we start your cultivation now?'' Chapter 1465 Four Elemental Body Constitution Chapter 1465 Four Elemental Body Constitution¡¡¡¡''Shall we start your cultivation now?'' After M informed her that Amy had be her disciple, she didn''t waste any time to start teaching Amy her own style of cultivation. ''Ding, It''s detected that the host''s bone structure ispatible with her main cultivation technique. ''Ding, Awakening the four elemental body constitution. The host can cultivate the techniques rted to fire, water, wind and earth elements at 10 times the original speed. ''Master, the artifact informed me that I have awakened a body constitution.'' Even though her world was not a very advanced type of cultivation world, she still knew about the body constitution and how rare they were and what could be achieved with the help of the body constitution. So, the moment she heard the system notifications in her head, she informed her master about it. ''Why are you getting so excited about a four elemental body constitution? In the future, you have to upgrade this four elemental body constitution to the Universal-elemental body constitution.'' ''For now, just focus on your cultivation and I will help you upgrade your body constitution slowly in the future.'' However, M said there was nothing to get excited about in her current body constitution and asked her to focus on her cultivation. ''Yes, master.'' Amy was shocked by her master''s words; however, she didn''t dare to ck in her cultivation anymore and started circting the main cultivation technique that M had taught her. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the essence of nature from a few kilometers radius around her started entering her body at an incredible speed. With the huge quantity and quality of the essence of nature entering her body, her cultivation started increasing at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 2 soldier realm. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 3 soldier realm. . . ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 10 soldier realm. Soon, Amy started getting system notifications in her head regarding the progress in her cultivation. In the beginning, she thought the cultivation speed would decrease after breaking through two minor realms; however, the cultivation speed didn''t decrease. To her surprise, the cultivation speed increased even more as he broke through one minor level after another within a few minutes and reached level 10 soldier realm within 20 minutes. ''It looks like cultivation speed has finally decreased.'' After reaching the level 10 soldier realm, her next breakthrough didn''t have, making Amy a little disappointed because she thought she was going to be an elite soldier within half an hour after re-cultivating her cultivation from the start. ''Kacha'' However, in the next second, a crisp sound came from her body, making Amy pleasantly surprised. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 1 elite soldier realm. ''I finally became an elite soldier realm cultivator.'' Amy never thought that she would be an elite soldier realm cultivator just in 20 minutes. ''It looks like I need some time to break through further in my cultivation.'' Since he had broken through one major realm in just 20 minutes, Amy thought her cultivation speed would be decreased. However, she realized she was once again wrong as the system notifications continued to ring in here. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 1 elite soldier realm. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 1 elite soldier realm. . . ''Don''t stop circting your main cultivation technique. Since it is your first time circting a Mythical grade cultivation technique, you should not stop it and the moment you stop it, your cultivation speed will fall by half.'' Along with the system notifications that rang every five or ten minutes, M''s voice also guided her in making full use of the mythical grade cultivation speed. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a sh as Amy received a system notification that made Amy excited. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation has reached level 1mander realm. ''Don''t becent, you need to increase as much cultivation as possible in a single go; otherwise, it will be troublesome for you to increase your cultivation in the future.'' However, she didn''t have the time to enjoy her breakthrough in the Commander realm as M continued to pressure Amy to cultivate. ''Damn it¡­this world''s essence of nature is worse than the essence of nature from the Purple stone world. Looks like she can''t even reach the General realm.'' While Amy was circting her main cultivation technique without any break, M silently cursed the world''s essence of nature. ''Looks like I should make sure she upgrades the system as soon as possible before taking her on the otherworldly journey. This world can''t help her be a Powerful Emperor realm cultivator.'' M started nning her next moves for Amy''s cultivation and at the same time, she thought, ''Why wonder how much he had grown and how many years have passed since he was born?'' While M was in a slumber, she lost track of time and she didn''t know how much her son Ajax had grown and wondered what he looks like. ''I hope Father is taking care of him and Vaugh should have also awakened from his sleep. I wonder why he split his spirit into two before sending me this far?'' Even though Vaugh had sealed her soul with the mythical grade artifact, she noticed that Vaugh had split his spirit into two. ''Nevermind, I never understand half of the things he does.'' Soon, she stopped thinking about her husband and son before focusing on Amy''s cultivation. ... In the Mutated Bronze demon world, ''How many elemental spirits are still left?'' Ajax took a short break and looked at more than 200 elemental spirits standing in front of him. "I removed the spirit imprint from nearly 800 elemental spirits and I am feeling very tired." Ajax was never been this tired before; however, he knew the exact reason for his tiredness. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast Snow Lion King has finished the mission. ''Ding, The reward has been sent to the host''s inventory. Please check it. ''What? He killed all the demons in this world already?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notifications. Chapter 1466 Pitiful Mutated Bronze Demon King Chapter 1466 Pitiful Mutated Bronze Demon King¡¡¡¡It''s been only three hours since Little White started his massacre of the bronze demons. Even Alder, the king of the devour eagle kings, takes more than one hour to clean all the demons in a smaller world. Compared to Alder, Little White was not only younger but his cultivation was only at a low-level bestial king. Therefore, Ajax was shocked when he saw the mission aplishment system notifications. ''Is it the power of an Emperor realm bloodline?'' Ajax could only think of the Emperor realm bloodline that the Little White had awakened. Other than that, there was no other reason why Little White was able to solo an entire smaller demon world. ''I hope the system doesn''t give the missions where the entire world should be solo''ed by a single beast or an elemental spirit.'' At the same time, he hoped the system wouldn''t give simr missions because he wanted to kill more king realm demons while using the crude version of the Blessed refining technique. ''Unless I am in imminent danger, I will just keep on upgrading the requirements for the Blessed refining technique until the system finishes its upgrade.'' Since Ajax didn''t have much use with the main cultivation technique, he didn''t mind waiting for the system to finish its upgrade. Unlike the other cultivators, Ajax didn''t need to circte the main cultivation technique to absorb the essence of nature in the world and at the same time, he didn''t need the essence of nature to upgrade his cultivation. ''All I need is world cores and high battle prowess that can help me kill the cultivators whose cultivation is one major realm higher than me.'' Currently, even if he used all his bloodlines or skills, Ajax could not even kill a low-level emperor realm cultivator. So, he was aiming for the unparalleled battle prowess that cross-kills the powerful cultivators. ''Even though the speed at which I absorb the essence of nature will be increased with the help of the main cultivation technique like the Blessed refining technique, who cares about that speed when I have my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that could farm the essence of nature for me.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax checked the reward for the aplishment of Little White''s mission. ''A Scroll?'' In the next second, a scroll appeared in Ajax''s hand when he opened it and saw a few words in who knows whatnguage. ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, a beam of light came out of the scroll and disappeared into the horizon. ''Huh? What is that?'' Ajax frowned as he didn''t expect a beam of light toe out of the scroll. It was supposed to be a map to the ancient inheritance ground of an Emperor realm spirit beast. So, why is there a light beaming out of it? ''Ding, The information about the inheritance ground is sessfully transmitted to Little White. ''Huh?'' Looking at the sudden system notification, Ajax frowned for a moment before understanding what just happened. ''So, the mission and the reward are specially for Little White.'' Ajax nodded and didn''t think much about it because he was sure that Little White must have learned enough details about the inheritance ground. ''Wait a second¡­where is the mutated bronze demon king? Did he get killed by Little White?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of the bronze demon king who wanted to take revenge on Ajax for messing with him in the elemental spirit world. Aftering back from the elemental spirit world, Ajax had not seen hime out of the demonic castle; however, right now, the demonic castle waspletely destroyed. ''Since I had injured him pretty badly, I doubt he left the demonic castle and if he didn''t leave the demonic castle, then he must have been crushed under the rubble.'' Ajax didn''t know whether he should be happy or sad if the mutated demon king really died just because of the demonic castle''s destruction. ''Let me check the system notifications.'' Ajax had turned off the system notifications regarding the killing done by his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. So, he wanted to check whether there was any system notification regarding the death of the mutated bronze demon king. ''There is it.'' After scrolling down a little, Ajax finally found a system notification that made him shake his head in pity for the mutated bronze demon king. ''Ding, The mutated bronze demon king had serious injuries on his spirit consciousness form which made him unable to move. He died under the rubble of the demonic castle. ''What an unlucky way to die!'' A mighty high-level demon king got killed by being cursed under the rubble of his own building. ''Anyway, he deserved it for turning the elemental spirits into enved spirits.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t show much pity and resumed his work of breaking the spirit imprint. "Little White, you can kill the remaining demon kings now." After destroying the spirit imprints from the remaining 200 elemental spirits, Ajax looked at 100 or so demon kings and asked Little white to kill them. They were the ones who formed the contract with the elemental spirits and if they were killed before Ajax could break the spirit imprint from the elemental spirits, the elemental spirits would also die without a doubt. So, Ajax asked Little White not to kill the demon summoners until he breaks all the spirit imprints from the elemental spirits. Since he had removed all the sprint imprints, Ajax gave Little White permission to kill those demon summoners. "Yes, Big brother." Little White nodded his head whereas Ajax rested. ''I think I can enter the core realm and remove this world''s connection with the elemental spirit and destroy this world.'' Ajax didn''t forget the words of the system before he upgraded it. For this mission, he had to not only remove the connection of the elemental spirit world with the bronze demon king but he also needed to sever the connection between the worlds. ''Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check. However, before he could enter the core realm, Ajax received a system mission and after checking it, he was shocked for a moment before revealing an excited smile. Chapter 1467 Bonus Mission Chapter 1467 Bonus Mission¡¡¡¡''Ding, Bonus Mission Name: Kill the ranked Demon Apostles. Mission Details: The demon apostles under the demon emperors are ranked depending on their strength and the contribution. Currently, 10 second order demon apostles and the 30 first order demon apostles are rushing towards the Mutated Bronze Demon World. Mission Objective: The host has to kill as many ranked demon apostles. Reward: A random Demonic Law and Demonic Skill. Additional reward: It depends on the number of the ranked Demon Apostles that the host can kill. The more Demon Apostles he kills, the higher the reward will be. Mission Failure: None. Looking at the information on the holographic screen, Ajax could not help but be shocked. He was not shocked because of the rewards; instead, he was shocked at the fact that 10 second order demon apostles and the 30 first order demon apostles wereing to this world. Ajax know that the ranks of the Demon Apsotles from his demon ves. ording to them, if a demon has the cultivation of a low-level Emperor realm cultivation along with enough contribution to the demon race, they could be made into first order demon apostles. Afterwards, with the break through into the mid-level emperor realm cultivation, more contribution and abnormal battle prowess, they could increase their ranked from first order to second order So, Ajax knew it was a very difficult mission and the chances of losing his life were very high. ''Looks like they have detected that something is not right in this world.'' Nevertheless, Ajax knew he could escape as long as hepleted the mission ''Free the elemental spiriti world'' by destroying the bronze demon world. ''But the rewards seem tempting.'' If he could learn a neww and a skill, Ajax''s battle prowess would definitely increase. Hence, he started thinking about the ways toplete the mission by reducing the risks involved in the mission. ''In this world, there is no such thing as risk-free. Even if you don''t do anything and you might get killed without knowing how. As long as I kill one of the anked demon apostles, I will get the regr rewards. Hence, I should do it.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to take the risk and kill at least one of the ranked demon apsotles because he would get good rewards. Ajax was not aiming for the additional rewards; instead, he was aiming for the original rewards that were the Demonic Law and the Demonic Skill. ''Before theye, I have to remove the connection between this world and the elemental spirit world.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax entered the core realm of the Mutated Bronze Demon World. The so-called removing the spirit imprint was simr to how he removed the spirit imprint from the elemental spirits; however, the only difference was Ajax had to speed a lot of time and the energy to remove the connection. ''Looks like I need to destroy this world to get the mission aplishment notification.'' Since the elemental spirit world didn''t have any connection with the mutated bronze demon world, Ajax thought the mission would bepleted. However, he didn''t get the system notification, making him shake his head. ording to his n, Ajax thought that if things go out of hand, he could just abandon the smaller world core and escape; however, since he didn''t get the mission aplishment system notification, Ajax could not escape without destroying the world. ''If I destroy the world now, I can''t kill any ranked demon apsotles and I can''t get any rewards. It looks like I need toe up with another n.'' Soon, Ajax started thinking about another n where he couldplete both missions ''Save the elemental spirit world'' and ''Kill the ranked demon apostles''. ''Can I use the Emperor spirit beast pendant and kill a couple of first order demon apostles and escape from this world?'' Ajax thought about the trump card he had been saving for a while now. Finally, he decided to use it because he felt it was worth it. ''I should have brought Westin with me. He would have helped me a lot for this mission.'' If Ajax asked the help from Elder Boron and Master Ren inpleting the mission, the system would lower the rewards; however, since Westin was his follower, it would not decrease the rewards by much. So, he thought he should have brought Westin; however, he could only shake his head. Soon, he started nning which trump cards he had to use against the demon apostles who might arrive at any time now. Time continued to pass and Ajax returned to his body and started nning. ''I think it is finally time to use the Blessed refining technique and hope I can receive some special skills.'' Among his trump cards, using the Blessed refining technique was one of them and he felt it was finally time to use it. ''I hope I can awaken some good skills, bloodlines or cultivation techniques that can boost my strength either temporarily or permanently.'' ording to his master, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror, when a cultivator uses the main version of the Blessing refining technique, depending on how much he had contributed to the requirements, the equivalent or even more benefits would be received by the cultivator. Until now, Ajax had supplied countless units of the essence of nature, Killed countless king realm cultivators, mostly demon kings, scarficied a few skills, cultivation techniques, and elemental essence of the elemental spirits. Therefore, Ajax was confident that he would awaken something good. ''If worsees to worst, I will sacrifice all my skills and cultivation techniques except for one or two necessary skills and use the main blessed refining technique.'' Ajax silenltly muttered to himself as he determined toplete this new mission. ''If I am sessful, not only will I get a neww and skill but I might get the equipment used by the demon apostles to travel between worlds.'' Just as he was motivating himself, Ajax received a system notification that gave him a pleasant surprise. ''It looks like the heavens are on myside.'' Chapter 1468 Essence Restoring Pills Chapter 1468 Essence Restoring Pills¡¡¡¡''Ding, Two of the host''s exploration teams have conquered two smaller demon worlds and are waiting for the host to retrieve the world core. Do you want to enter those worlds to retrieve the world core? This was the system notification that made Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''It looks like the heavens are on my side.'' An ear-to-ear smile appeared on Ajax''s face and without wasting anything, he nodded his head. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a portal opened in front of Ajax and entered it. "Exploration team four greets the Summoning master." As soon as he walked out of the portal, Ajax saw three elemental spirits respectfully greeting him. When he created the teams, there were only four artifacts that could help three cultivators or elemental spirit or the spirit beasts to travel to the other worlds. So, he created four exploration teams and in the beginning, Ajax ordered all four exploration teams to conquer a single smaller demon world together. However, as their cultivation and the battle prowess increased, Ajax gave them the permission to conquer a smaller demon world per exploration team. "Looks like you have be more powerful than me." With a slight smile, Ajax asked toment on the cultivation of the three elemental spirits. In exploration team 4, there were three elemental spirits namely, Cerauno, the lightning elemental spirit, Blood, the blood elemental spirit and Necros, the undead/dark elemental spirit. During their exploration in outer space and destroying the worlds, they have sessfully be the King realm elemental spirits and even reached mid-level king realm cultivation. Because of their experience in their exploration, their battle prowess has increased so much that they could be practically invincible below the Emperor realm. "Summoning master, we will start leaving now and find another smaller demon world." After greeting their summoning master, they didn''t talk much and informed Ajax that they would leave the world they were currently standing in. Because, as soon as Ajax removed the world core, the world was destroyed within five minutes. Moreover, they just want to go to another smaller demon world and increase their battle prowess. "Summoning master, this world is conquered within 38 minutes. We will try to conquer the next world within 35 minutes." Necros informed the time taken by them to conquer the smaller demon world and tried to activate the world travelling leaf. "You can take a break from your exploration for now." However, Ajax stopped them from leaving the world and asked them to take a break. "What? Summoning master, it is not fair. We are just getting warmed up until now." "Yes, summoning master. We are aiming to conquer a smaller world within 30 minutes." "We need to strike while the iron is still hot. So, it is better for us to continue fighting, master." Other than Necros, the two other elemental spirits replied to Ajax, requesting him to let them explore a few more worlds to increase their battle prowess. "I said take a break in exploring the world but who told you to stop fighting?" With a mysterious smile, Ajax continued, "Just go through this portal and wait for me to return. We will be fighting a much bigger fight in a few minutes. So, recover your energy with these pills." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax tossed some green-coloured pills at them. ''Essence restoring pills'' They were the king-grade pills that he bought from the Elemental spirit store. They cost only one spirit point each; however, they recover 50 percent of the energy spent by the elemental spirits within a few seconds. Of course, one elemental spirit could only eat one essence-restoring pill in a day. After giving them the essence restoring pills to the elemental spirits, Ajax didn''t waste any time because he needed to bring back another exploration realm after retrieving the world core. Soon, Ajax''s physical body copsed because his spirit consciousness form had entered the core realm. "What?" "Did the summoning master just say that we are going to fight?" Cerauna and Blood raised their brows and soon, they were excited that they were going to fight more. Without any hesitation, they rushed into the portal and entered the mutated bronze demon world. ''I hope I can get some emperor-level undead summons this time.'' With azy look on his face, Necros stayed behind guarding Ajax''s physical body. ¡­ ''Ding, The host sessfully retrieved a smaller world core. Please leave the world within five minutes. Inside the core realm, Ajax retrieved the smaller world core and received the warning system notifications. "Let''s go, Necros." Soon, Ajax woke up in his physical form and left the world through the portal. ''Boom'' After they left, the entire world was destroyed; however, it had nothing to do with Ajax or his elemental spirits since he had already retrieved the world core. ¡­. Simrly, Ajax went to the world that exploration team 2 had conquered. The exploration realm 2 consists of Damilius, who had be a high-level spirit beast king, Dan and Zan, the father and son Golden bear kings had achieved the same cultivation of mid-level spirit beast king. Even though they have the same cultivation, Zan, the little bear was more powerful than Dan because of the rewards from the re-cultivation process. Just like the snow lions, after the re-cultivation, Zan had achieved theplete human form; however, the father golden bear king only achieved the humanoid body with a bear head. "I wonder how the other two exploration teams are doing." Looking at the three elemental spirits and the three contracted spirit beasts in front of him, Ajax muttered to himself and continued thinking, ''I hope they can conquer a smaller world soon. Then I can bring them back just like the other exploration teams.'' ''Anyway, I have to focus on the current mission with my returning forces.'' With the return of the two exploration teams, Ajax''s confidence increased in killing at least one ranked demon apostle. "A human? How dare you kill the king and other demons of this world?" Chapter 1469 Silver Demon Apostle Chapter 1469 Silver Demon Apostle¡¡¡¡"A human? How dare you kill the king of this world?" Just as he was nning, Ajax heard a furious voice resounded from the sky as he saw three silver-coloured demons flying toward him. ''Silver Demon Kings?'' With a look, Ajax could tell what type of demons they were. Silver Demons are one ss higher than the Bronze demons and one ss lower than Golden Demons. ''Are they the ranked Demon apostles?'' Ajax was expecting the appearance of the Golden demons because he saw all the ranked demon apostles that entered the Purple stone world during the war were Golden Demons. So, he thought Silver Demons could not be the ranked demon apostles because of their ss. "Capture him alive. Let''s wait until that second-order b*stardes." The strongest-looking Silver Demon ordered the two silver demons in behind him. "Yes, Demon Apostle." The two silver demons rushed towards Ajax at an incredible speed. ''Looks like the Golden Demon Emperor don''t mind sses as long as they have enough strength.'' From their brief conversation, Ajax could tell that the Strong silver demon was a first-ranked demon apostle and silently thought in his head. ''It looks like he is alone just for myself. I need to kill him before the other demon apostles could enter this world.'' Ajax was not worried about the two iing silver demons because their strength was only high-level demon kings. Instead, he was happy that he could rest assured about the bonus mission after killing the first-order demon apostle. ''Since he is a Silver Demon, his battle prowess will be weaker than the Golden Demon Apostle.'' With that thought in his mind, he circted the crude version of the Blessed refining technique. ''Dragon Wings'' ''Lightning cloud steps'' In the next second, Ajax''s speed increased multiple times faster as he flew toward the iing Silver Demons. ''Absolute Darkness'' When he was only a few meters away from the silver demons, Ajax used his favourite skill that could cause nightmares and unbearable pain to his enemies. ''Thud'' Even though there were two minor realms of difference in their cultivation, the two high-level silver demon kings fell from their flying leaf artifacts. ''Aargh'' Soon, the two silver demon kings started groaning in pain while clutching their heads. ''Advanced spatial des'' Ajax looked at the strongest silver demon who was shocked by Ajax''s battle prowess and released more than 100 spatial des at the two groaning silver demons. ''Again'' ''Swoosh'' ''Again'' Ajax knew that he still didn''t have the battle prowess that was enough to kill the peak, high-level demon kings, in a single attack. So, he sent three batches of spatial des at the silver demons. ''Ding, The host killed¡­ ''Now, it is time to kill the ranked demon apostle.'' If he didn''t get the system notification regarding the death of the two silver demon kings, Ajax would have sent a few more batches of the spatial des. Since he knew he had sessfully killed, Ajax looked at his next target. ''As long as I kill him, I can finish my two missions and leave from here.'' After deciding to kill the Silver Demon Emperor, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he thought, "Little White, Little Zan, assist me." Even though he had other strong summons beside him, Ajax only asked two little kids to assist him because he was confident that he could kill the Silver Demon Emperor, if he had the assistance of those two re-cultivated spirit beasts. "Human, you have good battle prowess that is enough to be the demon ve¡­" "It is my Nth time hearing those lines." Before the Silver Demon Emperor could finish his words, Ajax interrupted his words and closed in on him along with two 10 years old kids. "Silver st" However, before Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts could reach the silver demon emperor, they were sted off by his attack. "Haha¡­do you really think I am offering a deal to be a demon ve?" The silver demon emperor didn''t know how far he had sted Ajax and the other two little kids that were trying to attack him. However, he was sure that he had sted them off. Looking at the smoke that came from his earlier attack, the Silver Demon Emperor startedughing and exined, "Even if you want to be a demon ve, you can''t be one." While saying those words, he started walking in the direction where he sensed Ajax was and continued, "Do you know why you can''t be one? It is because you killed the special bronze demon king that the Demon Emperor treasures." "No matter what you do, you are not going topensate for killing that special bronze demon king. So, you can''t only me yourself for doing something with half-baked strength." "Since you have some abnormal skills and battle prowess, I will cut your limbs. So that, you can stay in one ce without moving¡­Haha." In the next second, a silver sword appeared in the Silver Demon Emperor''s hands who was aiming to sh Ajax''s hands and legs. ''Cough'' On the other hand, Ajax coughed a mouthful of blood; however, he didn''t bother to check his injuries or listen to the Silver Demon Emperor''s words as he hurriedly looked for Little White and Zan. ''Are you alright?'' However, he could not see the others because of the smoke around him. So, hemunicated with them through voice transmission. ''Brother, I am alright.'' Little White replied within no time; however, there was no response from the little golden bear. ''Zan, where are you? Are you alright?'' After getting the reply from Little White, Ajax felt half-relieved and hurriedly tried to sense the golden bear king. ''Huh? Unlike Little White, there is not a single injury on his body.'' Seeing that he was not getting any reply from the little golden bear king, Ajax felt the presence of the golden bear king and realized that he was not injured at all. "Golden Armour''s Counterattack." In the next second, Little Zan''s voice resounded from the smoke and a golden ray appeared in that smoke. Chapter 1470 Zans Perfect Defence Chapter 1470 Zan''s Perfect Defence¡¡¡¡In the smoke-filled area, a golden light could be seen by Ajax''s summons that was currently some distance away from that area. ''Aargh'' In the next second, a painful demon cry resounded in the entire world as the Silver Demon Apostle was thrown out of the smoke-filled area. On his chest, there was a bloody injury as silver-coloured blood gushed out of it. "That''s my son for you¡­Haha." The golden bear king proudly announced to Ajax''s shocked summons the reason behind why the Silver Demon Emperor was injured. Which father would not be proud to have a powerful son? "..." Ajax and all his summons were speechless and waited for the smoke to get cleared. After the smoke cleared, they saw the 10-years old boy with golden hair wearing shining golden armour. ''Isn''t that his re-cultivated artifact?'' Finally, Ajax understood how Zan was able to injure the Silver Demon Emperor. When a spirit beast sessfully undergoes a re-cultivation process, it would awaken a re-cultivated artifact or a weapon. "How dare you sneak an attack on me?" However, before Ajax could say something to Zan, the injured Silver Demon Emperor angrily shouted at Zan before rushing towards Zan. "Absolute Defense" Nevertheless, Zan was calm as he used his bestial soul. In the next second, a huge golden bear soul came out of his body and covered Zan while angrily looking at the iing Silver Demon Emperor. "A king realm bestial soul can''t withstand the power of my Emperor realm demonic soul." ''Silver Demon sh'' The Silver Demon Emperor didn''t stop rushing; instead, he activated his own demonic soul. A huge soul that looked just like the Silver Demon Emperor came out of his body with a shining silver sword in its hand. "Should we let him fight the Silver Demon Emperor alone?" "Why is master not doing anything?" "Is the summoning master confident that little Zan can kill the Silver Demon Emperor?" "Impossible? How old is he? A year?" All the summons were worried about the little golden bear because Zan was only one year old and everyone liked him. However, there were three members who were not worried about Zan. They were Ajax, Zan''s father Dan and Damilius, the sea tauren king. After seeing how Zan was able to send the Silver Demon Emperor, Ajax hurriedly opened the information about Zan and after reading it, he was not worried about Zan anymore. Whereas, Dan was confident in his son''s battle prowess and skills. As for Damilius, during the world-conquering exploration, he had seen what little Zan was capable of and he knew there was nothing to be worried about Zan. "Just wait and see how powerful my son has be." Dan was proud and continued to brag about his son. "Artifact''s skill- Activate." Seeing that the Silver Demon Emperor was rushing towards him with his emperor realm demonic soul, Zan added his artifact''s skill. ''Swiish'' As soon as he activated it, the shining golden armour on his body disappeared and a simr shining golden armour appeared on the huge golden bear soul that Zan summoned. ''sh'' ''Cling'' When the silver sword shed at the golden armour, a metallic sound resounded in the entire world and in the next moment, the silver sword disintegrated into nothing. ''Cough'' The Silver Demon Emperor stumbled a few steps back and coughed a mouthful of silver blood. "Woah" "I want a son like that too." "I need to find a good female elemental spirit and start working on it." The elemental spirits felt that they should have a son as powerful and as cute as Zan. "Are Elemental spirits capable of reproduction?" However, Damilius asked them with a question mark on his face. "What''s wrong with us? Aren''t we living beings?" Blood became furious at Damilus and exined they could do all the things that humans and the spirit beasts do. "Enough." Necros stopped them from continuing their discussion further. "Little White, why don''t you help Little Zan in finishing off the Silver Demon Emperor?" With the disappearance of the silver sword in the Demon Soul, it visibly became weak and Ajax ordered the white lion to kill the Silver Demon. Even though Zan was able to fight the Silver Demon Emperor, he only excelled in defence. So, he could not finish off the Silver Demon Emperor. So, Ajax asked Little White to take care of the Silver Demon Emperor because Little White excels in offence and even his re-cultivated item was a weapon, White Emperor''s Dagger. ''sh'' Since the Silver Demon Emperor was already injured by Zan and even lost the sword, it was not very hard for Little White to kill him. ''Puchi'' ''sh'' ''Kacha'' The cultivation difference between Little White and the Silver Demon Emperor was one full major realm. So, little white didn''t stop shing his dagger at the demon. ''Who would believe that such a cute little boy would be so fierce when ites to killing?'' If not for the spirit contract between them, Ajax would have been worried sick fearing that Little White might go out of control. "Little White, that''s enough. Let me give the final blow." However, Ajax hurriedly stopped because he wanted to increase the kill count for his Blessed refining technique. Since the silver demon was an emperor realm cultivator, it would increase the chances of awakening something powerful. "Okay, Big Brother." Ajax didn''t expect Little White to listen to his words because most of the spirit beasts would not stop in the middle of their kill, even his own contracted spirit beasts would have a hard time stopping because of their bestial nature. Hence, he was surprised to see Little White was in full control of his senses ''Is it because he is still young?'' Ajax thought about it; however, he didn''t find an answer. So, he stopped thinking about it and killed the Silver Demon Emperor with the help of his Bloodlust spear. ''Ding, The host killed a ranked Demon Apostle and the mission can be consideredplete. ''Ding, However, the host can increase the rewards by killing more ranked demon apostles. Do you want to continue or end the mission? Chapter 1471 Preparations Chapter 1471 Preparations¡¡¡¡As soon as he killed the Silver Demon Emperor, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Phew¡­this silver demon king was also a ranked demon apostle.'' Even though he guessed that the Silver Demon Emperor was a ranked demon apostle, he was not sure about it until he got the mission aplishment notification. So, of course, he was happy that he could leave this world any time he wanted. "Should I retrieve the world core and just leave this world?" However, the second system notification made him hesitate a little and at the same time, he looked at the exploration teams who returned to fight the Demon apostle. He felt bad because his summons were excited for the big fight and if he told them that there would be no fight, they would be disappointed. ''Should I wait and fight a few more Demon Apostles?'' If Ajax had any trouble in dealing with the Silver Demon Emperor, he would have not hesitated even a single bit because if he was having trouble dealing with a Silver Demon Emperor, then it would be impossible for Ajax to kill the Golden Demon Apostle. But the thing is, in killing the Silver Demon Emperor, he had barely done anything, making him think that he could kill a Golden Demon Apostle if he and his summon fought together. ''So be it. I will continue fighting and if I was identally killed, I will just escape from this world along with my summons.'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax gave in to the temptation of extra rewards. Of course, he was not being reckless because he had the skill ''Emergency Ghost'' that could revive him after getting killed. "Everyone, I don''t know how many demon apostles will arrive; however, you have only one goal and it was to stay alive at any cost." Aftering to a conclusion, Ajax didn''t hide the risk he was taking and asked them to survive. "Also, if anyone doesn''t want to risk their lives, you can just tell me. I will send you back to the Inner World." At the same time, he gave his summons a chance to return to the inner world in case they didn''t want to fight. "We want to fight, Master." "We will fight, Summoning master." Both the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads without any hesitation. After experiencing the war in the Purple stone world, they started feeling that they were still weak and wanted to improve their battle prowess There were two ways to increase the battle prowess. One is by increasing their cultivation and currently, Ajax''s summons didn''t have any problem with the cultivation. And the second way is by fighting powerful opponents. Hence, they didn''t back down. "Good." Ajax could tell that they were determined from their eyes and nodded his head before summoning, "Zen, Spirus, Prophis and Halo,e out." He summoned a few more elemental spirits who could help him and his summons even though they were yet to break into the King realm. That''s right! Other than Zen, the remaining three elemental spirits didn''t break into the King realm but they were still summoned by Ajax. Spirus is the strongest healer under Ajax whereas Prophis and Halo could assist Ajax and his other summons with their unique skills. "Alder, you can also join the fight along with your subordinates." He didn''t stop there as he summoned all the devour eagle kings who were also excited to join. After devouring a lot of demons, Alder already became a peak high-level bestial king whereas half of the remaining 10 devour eagle kings had sessfully be mid-level bestial kings. "As soon as we kill any demon apostle, your job is to devour them, absorb their energy and convert it into your strength in very less time. Do you understand?" "Yes, master." The 11 devour eagle kings nodded their heads and looked at the three silver demon corpses with greedy eyes. "The five devour eagle kings with a cultivation of low-level bestial king can share the demon corpses until all of you be mid-level bestial kings." Soon, he ordered the five devour eagle kings, making the remaining five devour eagle king jealously; however, they knew they have already devoured a lot of demon corpses in the past, making their cultivation reach the mid-level bestial king realm. ''Screech'' With great excitement, the five devour eagle kings rushed and started devouring the three corpses. "Everyone, the moment we see any demon apostle, there is no need to talk about anything and everyone should focus on a single demon apostle." "Our goal is to kill as many demon apostles as possible." "Yes, summoning master." "Yes, master." Everyone nodded their heads with great determination as they continued to listen to Ajax''s words. "Damilius, Cerauno, Blood and Little White, you are the main attack force that would be fighting the demon apostle along with me." "Zan and Dan, you are responsible for the defence. In short, you will be the meat shield because of your greater defence." "Zen will be the assassin that will sneak the attacks on the demons whereas Necros will summon the undead summons and sneak attacks on the demons." Soon, Ajax started giving the roles of the summons that were going to participate in the fight. "As for Spirus, Halo and Prophis, you just provide us with some assistance with your unique skills from time to time." Ajax didn''t say what skills they have to use to assist them because they already knew what they could do. "Alder and his 10 subordinates have to kill a demon apostle on their own before assisting us." Ajax was not worried even if three Demon apostles arrived because he was confident in himself and his subordinates. "Everyone, stay alert and stay alive." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax looked at the sky, waiting for the demon apostles to arrive. "Huh? You killed my subordinate?" Soon, a Golden Demon appeared in Ajax''s eyes and he could tell he was, ''A second-order demon apostle''. Chapter 1472 Overpowering the Second-Order Demon Apostle Chapter 1472 Overpowering the Second-Order Demon Apostle¡¡¡¡The neer was a second-order demon apostle. Moreover, he was a golden demon apostle. "Herees the big fish. I have been waiting for you." Even though Ajax knew that the strength of the second-order demon apostle was the mid-level emperor realm, he was not worried. Instead, he revealed a slight smile, making the second-order demon apostles frown. "Are you the one who killed my subordinates and the mutated bronze demon king?" Nevertheless, the golden demon apostle controlled his anger and asked. Even though he had lost his subordinate, the golden demon apostle was more concerned about the mutated bronze demon king''s death. If the Golden Demon Emperor finds out that his golden goose (mutated bronze demon) was killed, he would be furious and vent his anger on the Demon Apostle that was in charge of the mutated bronze demon world. Hence, he wanted to capture the killer of the bronze demon king and bring him to the Golden Demon Emperor. ''Even though all the demon apostles in charge of this world will be punished, if I bring him back, I might be punished less.'' This was the thought in the Golden Demon Apostle''s head. "I will kill him. So what?" Since he had already decided to fight the Golden Demon Apostle, Ajax scoffed at him before shouting, "Everyone, attack." "Roar" "Aargh" As soon as he finished his words, all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts rushed towards the Golden Demon Apostle who was flying on the usual leaf-like artifact. ''Screech'' ''Golden beak'' Alder was the fastest one to attack the Golden Demon Apostle along with his 10 devour eagle kings. The beaks of all the devour eagle kings turned golden as they shone brightly. "Huh? You want to kill me with these bunch of clones?" Even though Alder and the other devour eagle kings were fast, the Golden Demon Apostle was able to dodge their attacks easily. After dodging their attacks, the Golden Demon Apostle scoffed at Ajax, asking Ajax whether he was going to kill him with his summons. "Do you want me to use my trump cards already?" However, Ajax didn''t let the demon apostle''s words bother him; instead, he replied with a slight smile. "If you don''t use your trump cards, you might not get the chance to use them in the future." As soon as he finished his words, the demon apostle rushed toward Ajax. "Zan, Dan, now." Ajax ordered the defence team, the two golden bear kings, to activate their defensive skills. "Golden Defence." Two goldenyers appeared around Ajax and the few other summons standing beside Ajax. "Do you think a defensive skill summoned by two mid-level bestial kings would stop my attack?" "Break" A golden sword appeared in the demon apostle as he jumped off his flying artifact and used his full strength to break the barrier. "Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate." Looking at the demon apostle in the mid-air, Ajax revealed a slight smile as he shouted out loud. ''Time Halt'' ''Dimensional shackles'' ''Blind'' ''Absolute Darkness'' ''Ten-thousand lightning weapons'' ''Pure Blood Bombs'' ''Devouring st'' . . It was the signal for everyone to use their respective skills. Halo and Prophis decreased the speed of the golden demon apostle whereas Ajax and Necros distracted him. Where Cerauno and other attacking-type summons used their powerful skills at the Golden Demon Apostle. ''What the hell is happening?'' The moment he felt that his speed was greatly decreased, the demon apostle knew he had fallen into the trap. ''Boom'' Before he could do anything, he was hit by multiple long-range attacks which hit him at the same time. ''Did I get him?'' Ajax was not sure because he still didn''t get any system notification. "Everyone, let''s go for the second¡­" ''Ding, The host killed a ranked demon apostle. The host gained 10000 spirit points and 10000 bestial points. ''Ding, Added the death of the ranked demon apostle to the bonus mission. Please continue to get more rewards. Just as he was about to order his summons to repeat the same attacks once again, Ajax received a couple of system notifications, making him reveal a slight smile. ''Phew¡­so, I can even kill the mid-level demon emperors.'' Even though Ajax looked confident earlier, he was not sure whether he could really kill the ranked Golden Demon Apostle because not only did he have the mid-level emperor realm cultivation but he also had the battle prowess much higher than the regr mid-level demon emperors. ''It is because I caught that demon apostle off-guard.'' Nevertheless, Ajax knew the exact reason why he was able to kill the Golden Demon Apostle. So, he was not arrogant and kept an eye on the sky. "Retrieve those three flying leaf-like artifacts." Ajax asked his summons to collect the artifacts as he silently said, ''With the addition of these artifacts, I can create three more exploration teams.'' The more exploration teams he had, the sooner he could collect the world cores. The more cores he could gather, the sooner his cultivation would be progressed along with the nurturing of the worlds under him along with the lesser world tree. ''Screech'' The five low-level bestial king realm devour eagle kings consumed the demon apostle''s corpse and increased their cultivation. ''Looks like I took him byplete surprise. He was not even able to release his soul.'' Looking at the demon apostle''s corpse, Ajax silently thought in his head. If a cultivator could not release the soul before his body was destroyed, his soul would also dissipate. So, Ajax was not surprised when he saw the demon apostle was unable to escape even in his soul form. "Rumble" While Ajax was waiting for the more demon apostles, the entire world started shaking. ''What''s happening now? I am yet to retrieve the world core.'' Without retrieving the world core, the mission ''Save the elemental spirit world'' would still be ongoing. So, he frowned and hurriedly checked the reason for the rumbling of the world. "You are able to kill a single second-order demon apostle by surprise, what if two second-order demon apostles attack you?" Soon, two golden demons flew down from the sky slowly as they mocked Ajax. Chapter 1473 Ajaxs formation failed Chapter 1473 Ajax''s formation failed¡¡¡¡The two golden demons were obviously the second-order demon apostles. A smaller demon world could only hold one emperor realm cultivator and if two emperor realm cultivators enter the smaller demon world, there is a high chance that the world might be destroyed by the pressure exuded by then. That''s the reason why only one ranked demon apostle entered the mutated bronze demon world fearing the world might get destroyed. "Since the mutated bronze demon king died, this world has lost its value. Let''s enter." However, after seeing that one of the golden demon apostles was brutally killed by the human, they didn''t bother about the mutated bronze demon world and directly entered. As for whether the world could withstand their pressure, they didn''t care. ''Rumble'' Soon, the mutated bronze demon world started shaking with the entry of two second-order golden demon apostles. "Everyone, let''s keep the formation." Even though Ajax felt a bad premonition in his heart, he didn''t back down; instead, he ordered all his summons to keep the formation. ''As long as the formation is maintained, no one will die.'' Ajax was not bragging when he said that no one would die; instead, it was almost impossible for even the emperor realm cultivators to insta-kill him or any of his summons. No matter how powerful the emperor''s attacks were, they would be absorbed and sent back to the enemy. In case, if the defence barrier was unable to stop any attack, then it would at least lessen the damage caused by that attack. In that case, Spirus would use her healing skills and instantly heal anyone who gets injured. This was the formation that Ajax came up with after racking his brain toplete the bonus mission. "Even though it will be over if we kill you, we don''t mind killing your summons in front of you." As the world shook, the golden demon apostles chuckled with a demonic smile on their faces. Right now, they wanted to do only one thing and it was to make Ajax despair for what he had done before taking him to the Golden Demon Emperor. As for Ajax''s summons, even though the golden demon apostles were shocked by the wide range of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, they didn''t think much about them and decided to kill them. "Let''s see." By maintaining the confident look on his face, Ajax made the demon apostles frown. "I don''t know where your confidence ising from; however, you will fall into despair." One of the Golden Demon Apostles had arrived in front of Dan, the golden bear king and threw a powerful punch. ''Boom'' However, the defensive barrier created by the father and son duo was so powerful that it sent back the golden demon apostle. "Are you okay?" The other demon apostle didn''t attack them; instead, he caught his fellow demon apostle and asked him whether he was alright. "Halo, Prophis. Do it now." Ajax was waiting for the two demon apostles to be in a single ce and as soon they were close, Ajax shouted out loud and executed their n. ''Time Halt'' ''Dimensional shackles'' ''Countdown.'' Even Ajax also used one of his skills to slow down the two demon apostles. ''Thanks to the bloodline, our skills became more powerful than the original ones.'' If they used the skills without the boost from the Abyssal Beast God Bloodline, then it would be useless against the emperor realm cultivators like demon apostles. Because of the boost, they were able to stop the demon apostles for a few seconds which was enough for others to deal enough damage. ''Ten-thousand lightning weapons'' ''Pure Blood Bombs'' ''Devouring st'' . . Ajax''s summons followed the same tactic and used all their skills on the two golden demon apostles. ''I have to kill them before they can activate their demonic souls.'' Ajax knew he should not give them any chance to activate their demonic souls. So, he ordered his summons, "Once again." ''Boom'' ''Boom'' One explosion after another resounded in the mutated bronze demon world and covered a few kilometers with smoke. ''Did I get them?'' Ajax didn''t get any system notifications; however, he had used five rounds of the same attacks. So, he hoped that even if he didn''t kill them, at least they would be severely injured. "Damn you brat. I am going to kill you." However, in the next second, he saw one of the Golden Demon Apostles fly out of the smoke-filled region and threw a powerful punch at Ajax. ''Kacha'' A mid-level emperor realm cultivator''s physical power would be so powerful that could easily kill even a high-level king realm cultivator if he didn''t use any defensive skills. Moreover, Ajax was only a low-level king realm cultivator. So, the moment he received the punch, all the bones in Ajax''s body were broken as Ajax''s heart stopped beating. "Master." "Summoning master." All the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were shocked when they stopped sensing the connection with Ajax as they hurriedly rushed toward him. "Idiot, why can''t you control your anger? Why did you kill him?" On the other hand, one demon apostle scolded the other one asking him why he could not control his anger. "Sorry Brother. All these insects are so annoying." Looking at Ajax''s summons, the demon apostle that killed Ajax replied with a frustrated tone. "How do you n to exin the death of the mutated bronze demon king? Do you think the Golden Demon Emperor will let us off?" The other demon apostle was bing anxious because of the punishment from the demon emperor. "Brother, what should we do now?" Finally, the second demon apostle understood that his anger hadnded them in an even bigger problem. "What else? Let''s make that body disappear before the other demon apostles could see his corpse. Let''s capture one of the summons and make it the true culprit." After thinking for a moment, the first demon apostle''s eyesnded on Alder, the king of the devour eagle kings. "Other than that beast, let''s kill the remaining ones." Chapter 1474 Self-realization Chapter 1474 Self-realization¡¡¡¡Among all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Alder, the king of the devour eagle kings was the strongest one with the cultivation of peak bestial king. As long as he was provided with some rich essence-filled resources, Alder could be the bestial emperor. So, the golden demon apostle felt the Golden Demon Emperor would not doubt their words regarding the death of the mutated bronze demon king. "Okay, brother." The golden demon apostle who threw the punch at Ajax, nodded his head, "Do you think that was enough to kill me?" However, before they could start killing Ajax''s summons, they saw Ajax fly into the air with two huge dragon wings on his back. "What? He is still alive?" The first demon apostle frowned. "How is it possible? When Inded my punch on him, I could feel all his bones were shattered." The second demon apostle was shocked as he looked at Ajax with an unbelievable. "Who cares whether it was possible or impossible. Since he is alive, just be careful and capture him alive this time." The first demon apostle warned the second demon apostle to be careful this time. "Yes, brother." Even though he nodded his head, the second demon apostle was still unable toe out of his shocked state. "What are you waiting for? Start killing his summons and capture him." "Going." Even though both of them were the second-order demon apostles, the first demon apostle was so powerful that the second demon apostle didn''t dare to deny his orders. "Sorry to interrupt your ns but I can''t let you kill my summons." However, Ajax shook his head and shouted, "Everyone, go and take a break." ''Swoosh'' ''Swiish'' As soon as he said those words, all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits disappeared from their ce as they returned to Ajax''s inner world. "Huh? Sending them back into your spirit consciousness?" The first demon apostle frowned for a moment before saying, "Do you think your summons will be safe if you store them in your spirit consciousness?" "Make him summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." As usual, the first demon apostle ordered the second demon apostle. "Yes, brother." The second demon apostle didn''t know whether he should be happy or sad that his powerful punch didn''t kill Ajax. Nevertheless, suppressing his thoughts regarding how Ajax was still alive, he flew towards Ajax. ''Teleport'' However, Ajax was already ready for the iing second-demon apostle. So, before the demon could reach him, Ajax dodged it without much difficulty. "I have greatly underestimated the power of a mid-level demon emperor." Ajax looked at the two golden demon apostles and started speaking, "It was really foolish of me to believe that I can kill the second-order demon apostles just because I killed one by surprise. I can''t win against you with my current battle prowess." When Ajax said those words, he was honest because he realized how wide the gap between the King realm and the Emperor was. Earlier, he was able to kill a second-order demon apostle only because he had overpowered him even before he could activate any of his skills or the souls. If he or his summons were even a secondte in attacking him, they would have not been able to kill that second-order demon apostle. ''Even if I summon the emperor realm spirit beast, it will only put everyone in trouble.'' The mutated bronze demon world was already shaking because of the two second-order demon apostles. If he summoned another one, without a doubt, the bronze demon world would be destroyed. At that time, not only the demon apostle, even Ajax would die. ''I am not suicidal to kill my enemies at the cost of my life.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head when he said that he could not kill the two demon apostles. "Haha¡­finally, you came to your senses." The second demon apostleughed at Ajax and suggested a deal with the first demon apostle, "Brother, why don''t we give him a chance? As long as he kills his own summons, we can take him to the Golden Demon Emperor without torturing him. What do you say?" "Sure." The first demon apostle agreed to the second demon apostle''s deal without any hesitation. Because killing his own elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts was the biggest torture they could give Ajax. "Haha¡­you guys are funny." However, Ajax mocked both the demon apostles and said, "When did I say I will be surrendering to you?" "Huh?" Ajax''s words made both the demon apostles frown and thought, ''Did he get a head injury when he received the punch earlier?'' "Nevermind. Don''t listen to his words anymore and just make him summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." The first demon apostle shook his head and ordered the second demon apostle in a serious tone. ''Rumble'' All of a sudden, the mutated bronze demon world started shaking more and more; however, the two demon apostles were not worried. ''Huh?'' The second demon apostle felt a bad premonition and asked the first demon apostle, "It is safe for us to stay in this world, right?" Even though they acted like they didn''t care about the destruction of the mutated bronze demon world, if they were inside the world when it gets destroyed, they would die along with it. So, the second demon apostle wanted some confirmation before following the first demon apostle''s words. "This world could bear the pressure of the two mid-level demon apostles. So, just focus on tortuing that brat." The first demon apostle also felt a bad premonition in his heart; however, when he saw the mocking look on Ajax''s face and the information he got about the mutated bronze demon world that it could withstand the pressure of two second-order demon apostles for 20-30 minutes. So, he asked the second demon apostle to torture Ajax. "Sorry, but you can''t torture me anymore, because I am leaving this world and you are dying with the world." However, before the second demon apostle could act, Ajax jumped into a portal that appeared behind him with a slight smile. ''Boom'' Chapter 1475 Generous Rewards Chapter 1475 Generous Rewards¡¡¡¡A few minutes back, ''Thud'' After receiving a powerful punch from the second demon apostle, Ajax fell back a few kilometers and all the bones in his body were shattered. Because of that, the golden demon apostles concluded that Ajax was dead. Nevertheless, a system notification rang in his head the moment he was about to die. ''Ding, The host''s skill ''Emergency ghost'' is triggered. The host will be revived; however, he can''t fight for the next couple of hours. ''Huf'' Ajax gasped for air; however, he didn''t bother to make any movements in order not to attract the attention of the two demon apostles. ''It looks like I can''t defeat them.'' At that moment, Ajax had a realization that made him give up on his thought of continuing the bonus mission. ''I am alive, just stall for a few minutes by acting like I was dead.'' Aftering to that conclusion, Ajax informed all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and asked them to act and stall for some time. "Summoning master." "Master." Once they received the orders from Ajax, all the summons rushed towards Ajax and started acting as though Ajax was really dead. ''Damn¡­if I didn''t know they were acting I would have been fooled easily.'' Looking at the worried looks on the faces of his summons, Ajax could not but marvel at their acting. ''I asked them to act but they were living in their roles. Good, I can nowplete my other mission.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax entered the core realm of the mutated bronze demon world. That''s right! Since he didn''t want to continue the bonus mission, Ajax nned to retrieve the world core andplete his other mission ''Save the Elemental Spirit World''. ''Swoosh'' Since Ajax became a pro at retrieving the smaller world cores from the core realms, it only took a single minute for Ajax to retrieve the world core. ''Ding, The host retrieved the smaller world core of the Mutated Bronze Demon World. ''Ding, The world will be destroyed in 10 minutes. Please leave the world within 10 minutes. As soon as he retrieved the world cores, the default system notifications rang in his head. ''Huh? 10 minutes?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the time limit for the world to get destroyed. Previously, whenever he retrieved a smaller world core, it only took five minutes for the world to get destroyed; however, the system informed him that it would take double the time of the regr smaller world. ''The world is already shaking because of the two mid-level demon emperors. Even though it was a mutated bronze demon world, it should be destroyed sooner right?'' Ajax thought to himself; however, he didn''t ask the system because it could not answer his questions anyway because it was still under an upgrade. ''Sigh¡­I need to stall them for 10 minutes then.'' Ajax felt stalling the second-order golden demons for 5 minutes was already a big problem for him; however, now, he had to stall them for 10 minutes. ''Sigh¡­I will try my best to stall as much time as possible.'' Actually, he was nning to kill the two second-order demon apostles by destroying the mutated bronze demon world; however, if those demon apostles sensed that something was wrong, they might escape. So, he sighed; however, he was determined to do his best. ''Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the mission ''Save the elemental spirit world''. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with the following items: 1) A smaller world core. 2) An additional slot for an official contract with an elemental spirit. 3) A Greater world ticket. As Ajax was in his thoughts, he received a couple of system notifications informing him about the mission aplishment and the rewards he gained from the mission. ''Woah. The rewards look exciting.'' Looking at the three rewards, Ajax could not help but revealed an excited smile on his face. Even though a smaller world core was not a valuable reward for Ajax anymore, he was still satisfied with it because it would save him one day''s time in collecting the world core. As for the other two rewards, they were what made Ajax truly excited. An additional official contract with an elemental spirit means an additional official skill. Which summoner didn''t want an extra official skill? As for thest reward, Ajax wanted to enter a Greater world from the time he learned about the world ssification. Because his chances of finding the nt essence, Sacred Energy, Astral Energy are much higher in the Greater world. ''Since I will be getting one official skill and the demonic skill from the bonus mission, there is no need to risk my life anymore. If they try to kill me, I will just leave this world without stalling them.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax silently left the core realm and returned to his body; however, he didn''t move his body. ''Yeah¡­continue wasting more and more time.'' Even though he didn''t open his eyes, Ajax was listening to the conversation between the two demon apostles, making him excited. Because, the more time they waste, the less time he needs to stall them. Time continued to pass and in sh, the demon apostles wasted more than six minutes in their conversation of making Alder their scapegoat. "Kill all his summons now." After hearing the first demon apostle''s words, the second demon apostle flew toward Ajax''s summons who were currently surrounding Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Finally, Ajax moved his body and started stalling the time on his own. He was sessful in wasting another three minutes by acting like he was surrendering to them. "Sorry, but you can''t torture me anymore, because I am leaving this world and you are dying with the world." When the demon apostles decided not to hear his words anymore, Ajax waved at them and muttered, ''I wish to return to my dwarf world.'' Among all his worlds, the normal dwarf world allowed him to return with a single thought because the dwarves didn''t have any strength. So, if they were in danger, as the Emperor of that world, he should be able to teleport directly to that world. ''Boom'' **** KingRig, thanks for the MAGIC CASTLE. Chapter 1476 Corpse Refinement Chapter 1476 Corpse Refinement¡¡¡¡''Huh?'' The two second-order demon apostles didn''t understand Ajax''s words until he jumped into the portal. "Wait a second¡­did he just say we will be dying with this world?" The first demon apostle felt the world shook more and more violently with each passing second and he finally understood something. "Idiot. We are fooled by that little brat. Let''s escape¡­" ''Boom'' Before the first demon apostle could finish his words, the mutated bronze demon world exploded and the two demon apostles inside the world disappeared without a trace. They have never thought even in their wildest dreams that they would die in a smaller world. Moreover, the cause of their death was even more crazy because they died due to the world explosion. ¡­. In Ajax''s normal grey dwarf world, ''Swoosh'' A portal appeared as Ajax walked out of it with a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, The host killed two second-order demon apostles and gained 50000 spirit points and bestial points each. ''Ding, The host haspleted the Bonus Mission ''Kill the ranked Demon Apostles''. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with the following rewards. 1) Demonic skill: Corpse refinement. 2) Demonicw: Orb of Death. 3) Smaller world cores x 1 (For killing one first-order demon apostle). 4) Normal world cores x 3 (For killing three second-order demon apostles). Soon, he received three system notifications that only made him smile even more. ''Phew¡­the rewards are really generous.'' The demonic skill and the demonicw were already the generous rewards for Ajax and three normal world cores were out of his expectations. Nevertheless, he was greatly satisfied with the rewards. ''Merge all the smaller world cores into normal world cores.'' Since he had more than 10 smaller world cores, Ajax merged them into a single normal world core. With the addition of the new normal world core, he had a total of six normal world cores. ''Ding, Smaller word cores: 2. Normal world cores: 6. Greater world cores: 1. ''I just need either four normal world cores or 38 smaller world cores to merge and get another Greater world core.'' Looking at the list of the world cores on the screen, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. ''Ding, The host has met the requirements to be a mid-level king realm cultivator. Please use a world core toplete the breakthrough. Note: The higher the grade of the world core, the higher the battle prowess that the host will gain. Once the system sent him the default notifications, asking him to break into his cultivation. ''Nope. I will break through to the mid-level king realm after the system finishes its upgrade.'' Ajax had already decided to wait until the system finished its upgrade, hoping it would unlock some cool system features. There were a few more reasons why he was dying his breakthrough. One, he wanted to increase his battle prowess by staying in the low-level king realm for some time. Two, it was not a good thing to make rapid breakthroughs. So, it was better to get used to each cultivation realm before breaking through to the next. Before entering the king, Ajax didn''t bother much about rapid breakthroughs because the system assured him that his cultivation would be rock solid. However, he was not sure whether it was the same even after entering the King realm. As for the third reason, it was because of the decrease in the kill rewards. If the enemy he killed had the cultivation of a high-level king realm, he would get a good number of spirit points; however, if he bes a mid-level king realm cultivator and kills the same enemy, the number of spirit points he received would be decreased. ''So, it is better for me to increase my battle prowess until the system finishes its upgrade.'' Even though he was determined to break through only after the system upgrade, if things were difficult for him, he would not mind breaking through to the next realm. "There is still some time for the auction in the Trader''s realm to take ce until then I can clear the Battle tower." Ajax wanted to search for the nt essence in the Trader''s realm; however, his low trader''s level made him unable to ess the higher levels of the Trader''s realm. ording to his dark elf friend in the trader''s realm, Ajax could easily upgrade his trader''s level by either selling or buying the items from the auction. Nevertheless, there was still time for the auction. So, he decided to enter the Battle tower to test his battle prowess and at the same time to gain some additional rewards. "Let''s go and settle in my manor." The dwarfs had built him a great manor in the grey dwarf world. So, he decided to enter the battle tower after settling in his manor. ''I wonder how powerful my new skill andw are.'' While flying towards his manor, Ajax checked out his new skill andw. ''Ding, Skill Name: Corpse Refinement (Demonic skill). Skill grade: King grade. Effect: With the help of this skill, the host can summon a demonic cauldron that can refine all types of corpses. Note: This host can only refine the corpses belonging to the King realm cultivators that were killed by the host. ''What? Isn''t this the same skill as the arcane turtle''s universal refining?'' Looking at the information about his new skill, Ajax frowned for a moment before saying, ''However, there is no limit to the number of refinements and I can bring out the full potential of this skill.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was excited about the kill because the only thing that he didn''tck right now were the corpses. ''Demonicw.'' At the same time, he checked the information on the demonicw. ''Ding, Demonic Law: Orb of Death (Level 1). Effect: The host can revive someone who lost his life within a single minute of their death. . . . ''What? I can revive someone?'' Ajax didn''t even read the full information on the demonicw as he was already shocked by the effect. Chapter 1477 Orb of Death, Entering the Battle Tower Chapter 1477 Orb of Death, Entering the Battle Tower¡¡¡¡Reviving someone is not something king or emperor realm cultivators could do. It needed someone with the strength above Emperor realm cultivation to have the specific cultivation techniques and a good mastery over the worldws regarding life and death. However, with his neww, Ajax could avoid those troublesome things which might take an eternity to learn. ''However, it looks like this neww has so many requirements.'' Ajax had only read the effect of the demonicw; however, there was so much information regarding thew. Since it was just a level 1 cultivator''sw, Ajax could already tell that it would have so many conditions because reviving someone was against the heavens. ''Ding, Demonic Law: Orb of Death (Level 1). Effect: The host can revive someone who lost his life within a single minute of their death. Conditions: 1) The host can''t revive someone he or his summons or his followers kill. In short, the host should have nothing to do with someone''s death. Only then, he could revive them. 2) The host can''t revive someone with a King realm cultivation. In short, he could only revive those below the King realm. 3) At the current level, the host can revive the cultivators or non-cultivators from only a single race. Whoever the host revives for the first time, that revived person''s race will be set as the default race. 4) At least 80 percent of the dead body should be intact for the revival. Note: Increasing the level of the demonicw will upgrade the effects and change the conditions. Soon, Ajax read all the conditions rted to his neww and nodded his head. ''Even with those conditions, I still feel thisw is over-powered.'' Ajax didn''t feel that conditions were too much when he thought about what he could do with the demonicw. Hence, he was not disappointed or depressed as he silently thought, "With thisw, I can revive someone close to me.'' No matter how powerful Ajax could be, if he waste by a second and someone close to him was dead, he could not do anything other than kill the killer. However, with his neww, Ajax could not only kill the killer but could also revive his friend or family. ''I need to focus on this neww and try to increase its level and make it a king realm demonic soul at least.'' Ajax clenched his fist and decided to focus more on the neww. ''But the thing is I don''t know how to rapidly increase thews.'' Not only thisw, but Ajax also didn''t know how to rapidly increase his cultivator''sws without the help of the cultivator''sw stone. Actually, he knew the general method of increasing the cultivator''sws or cultivator''s soul; however, it would take years to increase them by a single level. Unless he was enlightened just like how he got enlightenment with the Heavenly Lightning Soul. ''Looks like I need to find someprehension-rted items.'' Getting enlightenment was not in his hands; however, finding the items rted toprehension was something he could do. ''Ding, Demonicw upgrade requirements to level 2: 1) Kill 10,000 king realm cultivators from any race. 2) One million units of the essence of nature (Death element or Universal element). All of a sudden, Ajax received a system notification informing him about the requirements. ''I can upgrade them with these requirements?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the upgrade requirement and was shocked. ''If upgrading this demonicw already requires me to kill 10000 King realm cultivators, then I wonder how many I have to kill to upgrade it into a King realm demonic soul.'' Just imagining the requirements he needed toplete to upgrade this demonicw into a demonic soul made Ajax quite a scare. ''Even though the requirements might upgrade along with the demonicw''s level, they are not impossible for me toplete.'' Ajax didn''t worry too much about it because he was confident inpleting the requirements. Even though killing the thousands of king realm cultivators seemed tiresome, Ajax could do it. As for the second requirement where he needed a million units of the essence of nature was even less of a problem for him. "Master." Soon, Ajax reached his manor and he was greeted by a few dwarfs that were taking care of his manor. "I will be entering secluded cultivation. Don''t disturb me." Ajax ordered the dwarf servants before entering his room. ''It''s time to enter the Battle Tower.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax entered the Battle tower. ''ording to the system, I will get a good reward if I clear the first level of the Battle Tower. Let''s see what kind of reward I will get.'' Even though Ajax had gained enough strength to clear the first level of the Battle Tower long ago, he didn''t enter it because he wanted to clear the second level of the Battle Tower as well. He was informed by the system that by clearing so many halls back to back, the chances of getting the rewards for clearing the halls would increase. Therefore, he controlled his urge to enter the Battle Tower and looked forward to sweeping all the halls in the Battle Tower to get the highest reward. ''Ding, Do you want to enter the Battle Tower? ''Yes.'' Ajax nodded his head and his spirit consciousness form entered the battle tower as his physical body fell on the bed. As soon as he entered the battle tower, he received the voice of the battle tower''s spirit informing him about his past record. "Sure." Ajax already knew how to ascend to the second level of the battle tower. So, he nodded his head and opened one of the huge doors in front of him. ''Ding, Wee to the Armoured Titan''s hall. Please kill the hall guardian to clear the hall. ***** James_Foos, thanks for the Magic Castle. Chapter 1478 Clearing the First Level of the Battle Tower Chapter 1478 Clearing the First Level of the Battle Tower¡¡¡¡''Ding, Wee to the Armoured Titan''s hall. Please kill the hall guardian to clear the hall. As soon as he walked into the hall, an announcement resounded in the hall. "I have been waiting for the owner of the Battle Tower for a while now." Azy voice resounded in the hall as the Armoured Titan stood up from his throne. "Huh? You have already be a King realm cultivator?" However, when he saw Ajax''s cultivation, he was surprised for a moment before revealed a slight smile and said, "Let''s see in how many moves you will defeat." As soon as he finished his words, the armoured titan tightened the grip around his huge sword and rushed towards Ajax. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' With each step that armoured titan took towards Ajax, the entire hall shook a little. From the moment he entered the hall, Ajax didn''t even bother to speak with the armoured titan and at the same time, he didn''t bother to check the information on the armoured titan. Because he had already seen the armoured titan fight one of his contracted spirit beasts, Ghost. Watching that fight, Ajax learned something interesting that he didn''t forget even though it''s been a while. ''Advanced Spatial des'' Ajax used his long-range skill and summoned only one de which hit the center of the armoured titan''s forehead, making a hole. The main weakness of the armoured titans was the center of their forehead. Even if he didn''t attack the forehead of the armoured titan, Ajax was confident in killing the armoured titan with a single spatial de because of the cultivation difference. Currently, Ajax was a low-level king realm cultivator; however, he didn''t have any problem taking care of an average high-level king realm cultivator with his battle prowess. However, the armoured titan was only a peak elite general realm titan. So, even if Ajax didn''t attack the weak point of the armoured titan, Ajax would have no problem killing him. ''Thud'' The armoured titan that was rushing toward Ajax copsed to the ground as his body slid toward Ajax and stopped right in front of his feet. "I wanted to talk to you but not here. Let''s meet on the second level of the battle tower." Ajax waved his hand at the disappearing corpse of the Armoured titan. Chapter 1479 Special Cultivation Chamber Chapter 1479 Special Cultivation Chamber¡¡¡¡''Ding, Item name: Cultivation chamber''s 10-day stay ticket. Use: With the help of the ticket, the user can ess the special cultivation chamber in the Battle Tower in which the time runs time times faster. One day in the outside world is 10 days in the cultivator chamber. More information: The user can increase his cultivation, cultivate new techniques or increase the level of the cultivator''sws or cultivator''s souls. The information about the ticket he was holding appeared in front of Ajax, making him pleasantly surprised. ''If I can say 10 days in that cultivation chamber means, I can gain 100 days worth of time.'' Ajax could not help but be excited about it. Even though the time in the blooding training grounds also runs faster than the outside world, he could cultivate inside that region. He could only farm for the bloodline points. So, he was excited to enter a ce where not only the time runs faster, but he could also cultivate. Of course, when ites to cultivating something, Ajax always preferred his cultivator''sws because he didn''t have to worry about increasing his cultivation like other cultivators. Moreover, he wanted to focus on his new cultivator''sw and the demonicw. ''For now, I will continue with challenging the halls on the second level of the battle tower.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t use the ticket as he wanted to clear as many halls as possible before using it. In short, he was satisfied with the rewards from clearing the first level of the Battle tower as asked the tower''s spirit, "I want to enter the second level." Even though there were a few more halls on the first level, Ajax didn''t waste his breath on them as he had already gotten the level clearance reward. Chapter 1480 Surprising Rewards Chapter 1480 Surprising Rewards¡¡¡¡It was Ajax''s first time hearing the Horned Nether Hog speak and it started its first line cursing him. Obviously, he was speechless. "I was trying to defeat you without using my trump cards. It looks like I am just wasting my time." No matter what, Ajax didn''t like getting cursed by the Horned Nether Hog. So, he didn''t bother hiding his trump cards and decided to use them. ''Abyssal beast god bloodline, activate.'' Soon, Ajax felt his body became so powerful that he could instantly kill the Horned Nether Hog with a single punch. Even though the Abyssal beast god bloodline was his strongest bloodline in the outside world, in the battle tower, it is less powerful than the Aqua dragon bloodline. Because of the fact that he could not summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts and it gives only five times the boost in strength. Nevertheless, using the Abyssal beast god bloodline is still useful because it couldst for one hour whereas the Aqua dragon bloodline''s boost onlysts for ten minutes and if he activated the skill, it would be only five minutes. As for this third bloodline, the Elemental spirit merger is the most useless bloodline inside the battle tower for the same reason that he could not summon any elemental spirits inside the battle tower. ''Ding, The host''s battle prowess will be increased by five times for one hour. "Now, let''s see who is going to kill who." After receiving the default system notification, Ajax clenched his fists and directly jumped at the iing hundreds of low-level bestial king realmher hogs. ''Boom'' Since there were multiple targets, Ajax didn''t aim for the singleher hog; instead, he punched the muddy ground and sted all theher hogs. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Allher hogs mmed into the walls of the hall with impact from Ajax''s punch and soon they disappeared into thin air. "Roar" Seeing all its minions were killed by Ajax with a single attack, the Horner Nether Hog became furious and roared at Ajax. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' The two horns of theher hogs started growing in size as they released purple-coloured gas and started rushing towards him. ''Advanced spatial des - full power.'' However, Ajax didn''t move from his ce as he used full-powered spatial des as more than a hundred spatial des came out of nowhere and hit all over the Horned Nether Hog''s body. ''ng'' ''ng'' ''Clink'' However, almost all the spatial des were deflected by the purple-coloured that the Horned Nether Hog summoned earlier. "If you think you can kill me with such puny skills, then you should just give up on defeating me ande back after bing more powerful." The hornedher hog stopped in for a moment and scoffed at Ajax before rushing towards Ajax in order to m him into the hall. "Roar" At the same time, it roared once again as 10 mid-level bestial king realmher hogs appeared beside it and rushed towards Ajax. "Oh. You have another powerful skill?" Ajax was surprised that the hugeher hog could summon mid-level king realmher hogs. Nevertheless, he was not worried much as he revealed a slight smile, "However, you are wrong when you said my ''Advanced spatial des'' is a puny skill." ''Teleport'' Before theher hogs could ram Ajax into the wall, he disappeared making all the 11her hogs stop in their tracks. "Where did that b*stard go?" The hugeher hog roared and cursed Ajax again before checking its surroundings. ''Swoosh'' "I am here." In the next second, Ajax appeared on the hugeher hog''s left side and said, "Thanks to my puny skill, I was able to find your weakness." "Now, die." As soon as he finished his words, a huge battle axe appeared in Ajax''s hands which hacked the abdomen of the hornedher hod. Earlier, when he used hundreds of the advanced spatial des, he was not aiming to kill the hornedher hog; instead, he was trying to find its weakness. Moreover, he intentionally said he was using the full-powered attack when he barely used 50 percent power in those des. Because of those words, the hornedher hog stopped in its tracks and increased its defence to the maximum. Since he had used hundreds of the spatial des, Ajax was easily able to find a ce where one of his spatial des had made a small cut despite the fact the hornedher hog had activated its full defence. "How did you¡­" "Thud" Before the hornedher hog could finish its words, it fell to the ground, looking at Ajax with blood-red eyes as it disappeared into thin air. ''What is its problem? Why is it cursing me and looking at me with such bloody eyes?'' Until now, none of the hall guardians didn''t show behaviour. Even though he was mocked by the Armoured Titan, The Azure Wind Dragon and Elegant Walker, no one had cursed him. Moreover, when he defeated them, they were happy, unlike the hornedher hog which looked at him as though he had some blood feud with it. Chapter 1481 Sacred Dragon Fruit Chapter 1481 Sacred Dragon Fruit¡¡¡¡The [Shadow clones] was already a pretty useful skill and after the mutation, it would only be more powerful and there was no doubt about it. As for the Nether Hog''s Longhorn, it was an artifact that could summon theher hogs of various strength for different time duration. ''After it is upgraded, it will be a Legend grade artifact. I think I can summon King realm Nether hogs.'' When he thought about the effects of that artifact after upgrading to the legend grade, Ajax could not help but excite a little. Imagine summoning hundreds of king realmher hogs against an enemy or a group of enemies. The other side would not be able to handle all of them. As Ajax was thinking about the skill and the artifact, the battle tower''s voice resounded in the hall, which made Ajaxe out of his thoughts. "Let''s not waste any time. I will continue challenging the halls." Ajax didn''t have to think about it as he directly chose to continue. Even though the [Shadow clone] might be mutating, Ajax didn''t rely much on it. So, even without that skill, Ajax had enough confidence in defeating the guardians of the other halls. ''Moreover, I have to make sure I use effects of the Abyssal beast god bloodline before it gets deactivated.'' Even though his Abyssal beast god bloodline couldst for an hour, Ajax didn''t want to waste a single minute in it. Therefore, he chose to challenge the second hall. Soon, Ajax appeared in a new hall where a masked humanoid being was waiting for him with a huge scythe in his hands. "I have been waiting for you. You are lucky to be defeated in the first level but here my strength is upgraded to 50 percent of my original strength. Let''s see how you are going to defeat me this time¡­keke." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the masked reaper rushed toward Ajax with an eerie chuckle. Chapter 1482 Furious Golden Demon Emperor Chapter 1482 Furious Golden Demon Emperor¡¡¡¡In the Battle Tower, ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' The masked reaper was so fast that Ajax was barely able to dodge the reaper''s scythe. ''Huh? I thought I dodged it.'' However, Ajax realized a littlete that a small cut appeared on his face. "Haha¡­you are faster than I thought." The masked reaper looked at the small cut on Ajax''s face and chuckled. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Die'' Once again, the masked reaper didn''t waste his time with words as he rushed at Ajax and sh at him with his scythe. ''Tele¡­'' ''sh'' "Don''t even think of using any skills because it is useless." Before Ajax could teleport, the masked reaper''s speed increased by another level as he waved his scythe at Ajax even more fiercely. Moreover, he warns Ajax not to use any skills. "Advanced¡­" ''sh'' ''Aargh'' However, why would someone listen to his opponent''s advice in a fight? Ajax didn''t pay much attention to the masked reaper''s words and decided to use the ''Advanced spatial des'' However, the masked reaper''s speed that was already so fast increased even more along with the speed at which he swung the scythe. Because of that speed, Ajax received a few more cuts on his body, covering his body in the blood. ''Damn it¡­how can he increase his speed so much.'' Even though he had more than a dozen cuts on his body, Ajax was not feeling much pain and the cuts were not so deep so they were healed because of his passive skill from the Sacred Astral Healer''s profession. ''These cuts can heal with ''minor healing''; however, the problem is his speed.'' No matter how much Ajax tried, he was unable to use any of his skills because the masked reaper was going for a deadly strike whenever he was nning to use a skill. "Didn''t I tell you? I am going to kill you today¡­Keke." The masked reaper eerily chuckled, making Ajax grit his teeth. ''How can I beat him when he bes more powerful whenever I try to use my skills?'' Even though Ajax had good physical strength, it was not enough to defeat the masked reaper who had the cultivation of a mid-level king realm. Moreover, he was noting close to Ajax and only using the long scythe. ''I need to stop him from shing that long scythe at me.'' Ajax continued to dodge the long scythe; however, he still received small cuts which were soon healed by his skill from the profession. ''Damn it¡­I am a little slow.'' As Ajax was thinking of a way to stop the masked reaper from swinging his weapons, he was a little slow in dodging the iing scythe. ''It looks like I have toe back to the battle tower after a month.'' Ajax mentally prepared to get killed in the next strike; however, his body was still going with the flow and took a back step. ''sh'' However, in the next second, Ajax was shocked that he had sessfully dodged the critical strike and left with a small cut. ''I dodged it?'' Ajax was still unable to believe that he dodged it and looked at the masked reaper. "Why don''t you stay still and receive a critical strike¡­keke." The masked reaper continued to chuckle as he asked Ajax to stop dodging his attacks. Nevertheless, Ajax continued to dodge by taking back steps and he no longer tried to use any skills, fearing that the masked reaper''s speed would increase again. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, Ajax realized something while dodging the attacks from the scythe. ''Even though he was faster than me, why is he not going to deal a critical strike?'' Even though Ajax was good at dodging the attacks, it won''t be a problem for the masked reaper to blow a critical strike at him with such a godly speed. However, he was only making small cuts and trying to bleed him to death. ''Should I gamble my life?'' Ajax continued to dodge the scythe and after thinking for some time, he decided to take a gamble to stop the fight. ''Let''s see what will happen. In the worst case, I just have to wait for one month before entering the battle tower.'' Even if he died in the battle tower, Ajax would not be dying for real. He hated that he was not able to use a single skill or strike back at his opponent. Therefore, he decided to risk his life and shouted, "Fine. Since you want me to stay still, I will stand right here. Why don''t you kill me?" As soon as he finished his words, Ajax stopped dodging the scythe and stood in his ce. ''sh'' The long scythe in the masked reaper''s hands didn''t stop as the reaper aimed at Ajax''s throat. ... In the Greater Demon World, "What did you say?" As Ajax was fighting inside the battle towers, the Golden Demon Emperor received some news from one of the demon apostles that made him furious. "E-emperor, th-that¡­" "Stop stuttering and speak properly before I kill you and your entire family." The Golden Demon Emperor became even angrier when he saw that demon apostle were not able to speak properly. Once the demon apostle heard that the demon emperor would kill his entire family, he was scared; however, he knew the demon emperor was not lying. So, he mustered his courage and took a deep breath before informing in a fluent tone. "Emperor, we received the news from the watchers that the Mutated Bronze Demon World was destroyed." "Who dares to destroy my Golden Goose." In the next second, the Golden Demon Emperor''s body released an unbearable cultivation pressure that made all the demons living in that Greater Demon World kneel down on the ground. "Ahem¡­Didn''t I ask you to send some strongest second-order demon apostles? What the hell are they doing?" Nevertheless, he controlled his anger and asked the demon apostle. "Three second-order demon apostles and a first-order demon apostle were killed. ording to the other demon apostles, it was done by a human young man who can summon elemental spirits with different attributes." "Damn it¡­it is that brat from the Purple Stone World." Chapter 1483 Mysterious Masked Reapers Hall Chapter 1483 Mysterious Masked Reaper''s Hall¡¡¡¡"Damn it¡­it is that brat from the Purple Stone World." When he heard that a young human killed the mutated bronze demon king and his bronze, the Golden Demon Emperor thought about Ajax. Even though he didn''t know Ajax personally, he had heard so much about him from his subordinates. "ording to the watchers, that young human had summoned different elemental spirits and the powerful contracted spirit beasts including the devour eagle kings." The demon apostle tried his best in maintaining hisposure in front of the golden demon emperor as he continued, "In short, it might be the brat from the Purple Stone World." During the demon invasion of the Purple stone world, Ajax became so famous that even the five demon emperors knew about him and his extraordinary trump cards. "Damn it¡­I want him dead. No¡­I want him alive. I want to make him my ve." The Golden Demon Emperor wanted Ajax dead; however, in the next second, he changed his mind and decided to make Ajax his ve. "Since he destroyed my Golden Goose, I should create a new one, right?" He looked at the most intelligent demon apostle and asked him toe up with a n. Among the five demon emperors, the Golden Demon Emperor was the richest one and had the most connections with the emperors from the other races. What''s more, there was a rumor in the demon worlds that he contacts a few human emperors from the Greater Human Worlds from time to time and makes deals with them. Everything was possible because of the Mutated Bronze Demon King and his world that was connected to the Elemental spirit world. The Golden Demon Emperor bought the enved elemental spirits from the Mutated Bronze Demon King at cheaper prices before selling them to others at a high price because of the demand for the elemental spirits. However, now, he could not do such business and his old buys would startining. So, he wanted to make Ajax his next golden goose. "But, Emperor, didn''t you say that we should not attack the Purple Stone World for a while?" The demon apostle hesitated a little; however, he knew if he didn''t speak anything now, it would be even more difficult for him to speak in the future. ''Damn it¡­Damn the Demon God.'' The Golden Demon Emperor was so angry right now, he cursed the demon god, ''He wanted us to attack the Purple Stone World out of nowhere and now, he didn''t want us to bother with it.'' He could not help but be furious once again before asking, "I don''t care about the Demon God. Just find the way to capture Ajax without anyone knowing, not even the other demon emperors much less the human emperors from the Greater Human Worlds." Nevertheless, the Golden Demon Emperor knew that if those Human Emperors from the Greater Human World knew about Ajax and his battle prowess, they would try to recruit him. Once Ajax joins any of these human organizations from the Greater Human Worlds, it would be almost impossible for the Golden Demon Emperor to catch Ajax. "Yes, Emperor. I will contact our spies in the Purple Stone World ande up with a ce to capture Ajax." For some reason, the demon apostle is no longer scared of the Golden Demon Emperor and exined, "Even though that young man might have be the emperor of the Purple Stone World, with a perfect n, capturing him alive won''t be a problem." "I will give you seven days. Before the auction in the Trader''s realm starts, I want that young human to be my ve." The Golden Demon Emperor nodded his head as he set a deadline for the demon apostle. "I will aplish the mission, Emperor." The demon apostle hurriedly bowed to the Golden Demon Emperor before slowly backing away from that ce. "By the way, if you can''t finish the task, you and your entire family will be sent to the mines in faraway smaller worlds to mine for the spirit stones for the rest of your life. I hope you keep that in your mind." "..." The demon apostle remained silent and left without saying anything. ¡­.. In the Masked Reaper''s hall of the Battle Tower. ''sh'' The huge scythe of the masked reaper shed through Ajax''s neck. ''Damn it¡­did he find out how to clear this hall?'' After shing his scythe at Ajax, the masked reaper became anxious and muttered to himself. ''Huh?'' On the other hand, Ajax opened his eyes to see the masked reaper standing in front of him without moving from his ce. ''Why is his long scythe able to only make small cuts? Why not go for the critical strike?'' Even though Ajax was unable to find the reason for the actions of the masked reaper, he was sure about one thing: he had won in the gamble he took. ''It''s time to clear the hall.'' Since he already noticed that using the skills would only boost the masked reaper, Ajax didn''t bother to use any skill. Instead, he summoned his long blood-coloured spear from his inventory. ''Die'' Without wasting any time, Ajax threw the bloodlust spear at the masked reaper who seemed to be frozen in the ce where he was standing. ''Puchi'' The bloodlust spear pierced through the masked reaper without any problem. Soon, the battle tower''s spirit announced the result, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Finally, I cleared this hall.'' Ajax didn''t know whether the masked reaper didn''t want to dodge the iing spear or he was unable to dodge. It still remained a mystery for him. ''Maybe I will find the answer to this question in the next level.'' He was curious about the actions of the masked reaper and why this hall was different from the other halls. Is it one of the abilities of the Masked reapers? Or did the battle tower''s spirit set the hall differently? ''Next.'' Even though he had so many questions regarding the Masked Reaper''s hall, Ajax proceeded to the next hall. Chapter 1484 Clearing the Hell Cerberus Hall Chapter 1484: Clearing the Hell Cerberus'' Hall As soon as Ajax said next, the battle tower teleported him to the next hall. The hall was filled with fiery mes and if any cultivator below the King realm enters, he would be burned into ashes. ''Huh? Survival hall?'' Ajax raised his brows as he remained alert. Even though the death in the battle tower was not real, Ajax didn''t want to die because he had to wait one month to challenge the halls again. Moreover, after clearing the three halls, Ajax understood something. With my current strength, clearing these halls is easy; however, if there are any special halls She Masked Reaper''s Hall, then it would be a problem.'' He had enough strength and if he used all his trump cards, no one below the Emperor realm could kill him. So, Ajax felt he should not die on the second level of the battle tower. "It asked me to survive for an hour; however, I don''t want to waste one hour and directly kill it." Since Ajax had activated his ''Abyssal beast god bloodline'', its effectsst for one hour and he wanted to clear as many halls as possible during this one hour. So, he decided to kill the Hell Cerberus to clear this hall as soon as possible. Woof Ajax came out of his thoughts when he heard the furious barking sound from the other end of the hall. "Volcanic burst" What followed the angry bark was a loud explosion sound as the fieryva came out of the walls of the hall. ''Advanced spatial des'' ''Teleport'' ''Dimensional Shackles'' Even though the fiery heat in the hall increased to another level, Ajax didn''t feel anything because of the fire tempering along with the King grade body. Using those things to his advantage, Ajax used one skill after another at the Hell Cerberus before teleporting to oneer of the hall. ''sh'' Hundreds of spatial des made cuts on the Hell Cerberus. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' Two chains came out of the void and chained the hall guardian before malting it kneel on the ground. ''Bloodlust spear'' ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he maintained thergest possible distance between himself and the Hell Cerbems before throwing the red-coloured spear at the guardian. Of course, he didn''t forget to use the spear dao while throwing the spear at the Hell Cerberus to increase the damage from the weapon. Tuchi'' The bloodlust spear was so fast that it instantly pierced through the skull of the Hell Cerberus. ''Thud'' The Hell Cerberus fell to the ground and turned into small light particles before disappearing into the thin air. ''Did I get it already?'' When the hall guardians turn into the tiny light participles, it means that the hall has been cleared. At least it was just like that in the previous halls; however, Ajax doubted he cleared the hall because there was no battle tower spirit''s announcement, malting him frown. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' While Ajax was waiting for the tower spirit''s announcement, more and more explosions started happening in the hall as more and moreva poured out of the walls. ''Herees the announcements.'' Ajax was looking at theva that was pouring out of the walls and filling the hall as though it was water. Suddenly, the battle tower spirit''s announcement resounded in the hall, malting Ajax heave a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, the relieved look on his face disappeared as his eyes squinted. ''The survival time has been reduced from one hour to five minutes. I think killing the hall guardian was the right thing to do.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know how dangerous theva and the heat in the hall would be, when ites to fire, Ajax doesn''t have to fear anything ''There must be a ce to stand somewhere in the hall, right?'' As long as it was only five minutes, Ajax decided to survive. First, he searched for a ce where he could befortable and safe from theva. ''There it is.'' After looking around, Ajax found a one-meter pir protruding from the ce where the hall guardian had disappeared. ''It''s time to see how powerful my (Fire Devour] soul is.'' He teleported onto the pir and sat cross-legged before activating his king realm cultivator''s soul. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the fire essence of nature inside theva separated and entered into Ajax''s body. ''Huh?'' However, in the next second Ajax frowned. ''Even though the fire essence of nature is entering into my body, why can''t I feel it?'' This was the doubt that Ajax got; however, after thinking for a moment, Ajax found an answer for it, ''Nothing is real in the battle tower. Death is fake and the energy inside the hall is also fake; however, the pain is real.'' Aftering to that conclusion, Ajax released his cultivator''s soul fully and a huge red-coloured transparent being that looked just like Ajax came out of his body and opened his mouth. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the fire essence of nature from theva was devoured by his Fire devour''s cultivator''s soul. ''Even though I am devouring arge amount of the fire energy, I can''t use it to increase the level of my cultivator''s soul.'' Ajax shook his head as he focused on devouring the fire essence in the hall. Since his cultivator''s soul could devour any kind of fire energy in the world, Ajax didn''t have any problem in surviving in the hall for five minutes. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised when he heard the reward; however, before he could check it out, the battle tower''s spirit announced another piece of good news. CREATORSYra HOLD., 411 vmal Your gift is the motivation for My creation. Give me more motivation! Chapter 1485 Overpowered Skill Chapter 1485 Overpowered Skill¡¡¡¡''Finally, the ten minutes are up. Let''s see how powerful they have be.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax checked his newly mutated skill and the upgraded artifact. ''Ding, Skill name: Multiple Shadow Clones. Effect: The user can summon ten clones that have the same cultivation as the user. Note: However, they don''t have the user''s skills or the cultivator''sws or souls; instead, they have a single cultivator''s soul. Cultivator''s soul: Shadow Domain (Level 1) Shadow Domain: The shadow clones have the ability to manipte all shadows within one kilometer radius. ''Ding, Artifact name: Nether Hog''s Longhorn. Artifact grade: Legend. Effect: The user can summon 100her hog''s with the same cultivation as the user for one hour. More information: An artifact that is even rare in the Greater worlds. Use it properly; instead of rotting it in the inventory. Soon, the full information about the skill and the artifact appeared in front of him, making Ajax smile from ear-to-ear. ''Ten shadow clones with the same strength as me. Moreover, they even have their own cultivator''s soul.'' ''And 100 low-levelher hogs. I can go for a stampede with that manyher hogs and destroy cities in the normal world without any problem.'' The changes in the skill and the artifact, made them even more powerful and at the same time, Ajax got a huge boost in his army. Having a 110 king realm cultivators was quite a boost in his strength. Moreover, as long as Ajax increased his cultivation, these 10 shadow clones and the 100 spirit beasts could also be powerful. Soon, the battle tower''s spirit teleported him to the next hall. At the same time, the spirit informed what he had to do in order to clear the hall. ''I like these types of halls the most because I don''t have to think much and kill everyone.'' Ajax didn''t wait for the fire trolls to make their move; instead, he used his newly mutated skill. ''Multiple shadow clones'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, 10 shadow clones looking just like Ajax came out of his shadow. The only difference between these shadow clones and Ajax was their faces had a dark shade, making them look a little bit evil. "Kill them all." Ajax wanted to see how powerful his shadow clones were. So, he didn''t move from the ce; instead, he ordered them to clear the hall on his behalf. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they received the order from Ajax, they didn''t waste their time in using the basic attacks; rather, they used their king realm cultivator''s soul. ''Swoosh'' The ck-coloured souls came out of the 10 shadow clones as the entire hall turned pitch-ck. Other than the mes from the fire trolls, nothing was visible in the hall. ''Aargh'' ''Grr'' ''Kacha'' ''Huh? What''s happening?'' Soon, Ajax started hearing the painful groaning and bone-breaking sounds; however, he was unable to see anything. ''What?'' After a few seconds of ordering his shadow clones, Ajax had already received the battle tower spirit''s announcement, making him shocked. ''Is this the power of the Shadow Domain?'' Looking at the darkness around him, Ajax muttered to himself with a shocked look. Even though Ajax knew that his ''Shadow clone'' skill had be powerful, he didn''t expect it would be this power that could instantly kill all the fire trolls in the hall in a few seconds. Chapter 1486 Weapons Master Chapter 1486 Weapons Master¡¡¡¡''Weapons Master'' As soon as he said that four weapons from the inventory flew out and hovered around him. ''Ding, The system detected that the host had four weapons along with their dao. ''Ding, Upgrading the Title to level 2. ''What? Ajax was pleasantly surprised as so many good things were happening to him as all his skills, and artifacts were upgraded recently. Moreover, right now, one of his titles was upgraded because of his longbow dao. Until now, the system didn''t consider his longbow dao; however, after clearing the first hall of the battle tower, his longbow dao became real. Therefore, when he activated his title ''Weapons master'', the title automatically upgraded to level 2. ''Ding, Title name: Weapons Master (Level 2). Weapon daos: Spear (Piercing power), Sword (Fast-type), Battle axe (Explosive-type), Longbow (uracy). Effect: 1) 20 percent increase in attacking power when using these three types of weapons. 2) When the target gets a cut from all four weapons, his defense will be decreased by 50 percent. Note: It can be stacked with other titles. ''The attacking power increased from 10 percent to 20 percent and an excellent new effect was unlocked.'' Looking at the changes in the title, Ajax became even more excited in using his title. ''Roar'' While Ajax was checking the information on his upgraded title, the three-headed poison hydra roared at him before rushing at him. ''I wonder what reward I will get after clearing this hall.'' ording to what he noticed, Ajax would definitely get a hall-clear reward if he killed the three-headed poison hydra in time. ''Inheritance sword'' Since he had to kill the three-headed poison hydra within three minutes, Ajax didn''t waste any more time, he started his attack by picking the sword among the four weapons that were floating around him. ''Sword wave'' Leo used the sword dao and casually waved at the iing hydra to slow down its speed. Since his sword dao was a fast-type, he was able to release a dozen sword waves in less than 10 seconds, pushing the three-headed poison hydra away. ''Battle-axe'' Next, he threw the huge battle-axe at the hydra after activating his battle-axe dao. ''Boom'' Since his battle-axe dao was explosive-type, the moment it touched the poison hydra, a huge explosion urred in the hall. ''Longbow, let''s see what you are capable of.'' It was a weapon that the Elegant walker had gifted him and it was not an ordinary bow but a legendary bow that can produce its own legendary grade arrows with the user''s essence of nature. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Before the poison hydra could recover from the battle-axes'' explosion, the energy arrows urately pierced through each head of the three-headed poison hydra. ''Thud'' In the next second, the poison hydra fell to the ground with a loud sound. Chapter 1487 Dream Hall ` ''Swoosh'' The arcane spirit turtle brightly shone for more than an hour, making Ajax even more curious about its evolution. It was amonly known fact that the longer the duration for the evolution, the more powerful the contracted spirit beast would be. Hence, Ajax was looking forward to seeing how powerful it would be and what type of unique skills it would awaken. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast has sessfully finished it evolution and became a Low-level Bestial King. Finally, the much awaited system notification rang in his head and Ajax could see the appearance of the spirit turtle. p After the evolution, it became half of its previous size; however, there were golden runes on its green-coloured turtle shell that looked like a furnace. If it looked special in the past, it looks majestic now with the golden runes on its shell. ''Ding, Spirit beast name: Draconic Spirit Turtle King. Strength: Bestial King (Low-level). Bloodline: Ancient Draconic Emperor (Awakened) Note: The bloodline will suppress all the spirit beasts that have the lower ss dragon bloodline than the Anceint Draconic Emperor''s bloodline in their bodies Skills: 1) Universal Essence Purification (Passive): Wherever it lives, the essence of nature would be purified. The longer it stays, the purer the essence of nature bes. 2) Ultimate Defence (Passive): No one under Emperor Realm could leave a single scratch on it, muchless kill it. 3) Ultimate Essence Refiner (Active): The spirit beast can convert the things, corpses, fruits and anything into the purest form of essence like Demonic Essence, nt Essence, Beast Essence, Lightning Essence and so on. Special skill: 1) Draconic Rage: Generally, the spirit turtles don''t have any attack; however, because of the bloodline, this spirit beast can temporarily increase its cultivation by one major realm. During this state, it will use all the skills of an Anceint Draconic Emperor. Note: The spirit turtles can''t don''t have bestialws or souls. Ajax didn''t waste any time in checking the information about the majestic looking turtle and soon a holographic screen filled with the information appeared in front of Ajax. ''Draconic Spirit Turtle King? Cool.'' Just the name of the turtle was enough for Ajax to be pleasantly surprised as he checked one section after another. ''A fully awakened bloodline. It can suppress other spirit beasts with dragon bloodline.'' Even though Ajax knew the various sses in the Dragon race, he didn''t know the exact rank of these sses. However, he could tell one thing that the ''Anceint Draconic Emperor''s bloodline'' is not a low-level bloodline among the dragon bloodlines. ''If my guess is right, this bloodline might be ranked higher than my Aqua dragon bloodline.'' Ajax casuallypared the two dragon bloodlines and suddenly thought, ''I just have to wait for Twilight toe back. As long as they stand face to face, I can tell whether the Anceint Draconic Emperor''s bloodline''s rank.'' Since Twilight is a Divine dragon with a powerful destructive dragon''s bloodline, Ajax felt he could use it as a reference. ''The two passive skills remained the same; however, the Ultimate Arcane Refiner changed into Ultimate Essence Refining.'' When Ajax read the information on the third skill, he became a little bit excited, ''It can refine the nt essence; however, I wonder what will be the initial products I have to throw into the furnace.'' Ajax thought of a few things that might be convered into nt essence. "Big Green, can you refine this world core?" After thinking for a few moments, Ajax took out a smaller world core and asked the Draconic spirit turtle. "I can." The turtle extended its head out of the shell and nodded. "Good. Can you refine it?" "Yes, Master." The turtle nodded its hand and ate the smaller world core in Ajax''s hands. ''What?'' Ajax was not expecting the draconic spirit turtle would eat the world core because he thought he should throw the world core into the furnace-like turtle shell. ''It looks like evolution not only changed its appearance but the way the skills used to act.'' Previously, he used to throw everything into the huge furnace. So, he thought evolution changed the method. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t worry much about a single smaller world core. ''If Big Green could absorb the energy of the world core and increase its energy, I am okay with.'' Among all his contracted spirit beasts, Ajax had received so many things from the green spirit turtle with the help of its Ultimate Arcane Refiner skill. Even if he gave a normal world core, it was still nothingpared to what he received from that skill. As the turtle was refining the world core, Ajax checked its final skill. ''Draconic rage? One major realm increment in the cultivation along with the skills of the Anceint Draconic Emoperor?'' Ajax became shocked with the special skill of the turtle and as soon as he finished reading, he decided, ''I got another trump card.'' The turtle is only a low-level bestial king right now and one major realm update would make it a low-level bestial emperor. Moreover, if Ajax gives the turtle some valuable cultivation resources and increase its cultivation to mid-level or even high-level bestial king, then it would be the strongest contracted spirit beast under him. ''Even though it has only a single attack-type skill and it was only a temporary, it was enough for me to change the tides of a critical situation into a safe situation.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he decided to focus more on the spirit turtle in the future and increase its cultivation to high-level bestial king. Soon, a few minutes passed by as the turtle opened its eyes. ''Blurb'' The turtle revealed a satisfied look in its eyes and it replied, "Master, it will take a day for me to refine the smaller world core into one random essence. Pleasee back tomorrow." ''...'' Ajax was speechless with the green turtle''s words and he looked at it intently.` Chapter 1488 Hellfire Chapter 1488 Hellfire¡¡¡¡''Since I am here anyway, I will take a look at the third level.'' Ajax had already achieved his goal of clearing the first and the second level of the battle tower. Moreover, he had gained so much during this visit to the Battle Tower. Nevertheless, since he had the opportunity to enter the third level of the battle tower, Ajax wanted to check out how powerful the hall guardians in the third level of the battle tower would be. "I want to enter the third level." Without thinking much, Ajax replied to the battle tower''s spirit. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form disappeared and reappeared in a familiar yet unfamiliar hall. ''I have seen this interior of the hall; however, at the same time, I feel like I didn''t see it.'' Ajax raised his brows as he checked the interior of the hall while looking for the hall guardian of the hall. ''What?'' Soon, the battle tower weed him just like always; however, when Ajax heard the name of the hall, he frowned. ''Don''t tell me there are two hall guardians in this hall.'' Ajax hurriedly raised his guard and searched for the guardians while thinking, ''Also, what is it about surviving for one minute? Are the hall guardians that powerful?'' In the hall of the second level, the battle tower''s spirit asked him to kill the hall guardians to clear the hall; however, now, it was asking him to survive. Moreover, the survival was also not long; instead, it was only for one minute, making Ajax be various serious. ''Multiple shadow clones''. ''Weapons master''. ''Aqua dragon bloodline''. Even though Ajax doubted that the hall guardians would be that powerful to kill within one minute, he didn''t want to regret getting killed while hiding all his trump cards. So, within no time, he activated all his trump cards and was even ready to use ''Absolute Void Darkness'' when the hall guardians showed themselves to him. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax geared himself to the fullest, he finally saw the hall guardians appear on the other end of the hall. ''It is as the name of the hall says, the masked reaper is riding the Hell Cerberus.'' Looking at the reaper and the Cerberus, Ajax could feel they were very powerful. Moreover, he could not sense their cultivation which made him be even more serious. "The participant dared to challenge us with pitiful cultivation of the low-level king realm. Kill him." The moment the masked reaper saw Ajax and sensed his cultivation, he seemed like he had lost interest in Ajax and dismounted the Hell Cerberus. "Doggie, kick him out of the hall." Afterward, he didn''t even bother to look at Ajax as he asked the Hell Cerberus to take care of Ajax. ''Roar'' Hell Cerberus nodded its head and roared at Ajax before jumping at him. ''Attack'' Ajax clenched his fist as he shouted and jumped at the iing Hell Cerberus. ''ng'' The four weapons were the first to attack the Hell Cerberus; however, they were deflected by the thick skin of the Hell Cerberus. ''Shadow Domain'' ''Heavenly Lightning'' Ajax''s 15 shadow clones activated their level 5 cultivator''s soul where Ajax had transformed into an aqua dragonkin and used his level 7 heavenly lightning cultivator''s soul to attack the iing Hell Cerberus. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' The heavenly lightingnded on the Hell Cerberus but it didn''t leave a single scar on its body and the shadow domain was unable to capture it. ''Hell Fire'' After crossing Ajax''s trump card, the Hell Cerberusnded in front of him and looked at him with a mocking look in its eyes before spitting ck-colored mes at Ajax. "You want to use the fires to defeat me? In your dre¡­" ''Swoosh'' Before Ajax could finish his words, his entire body was burned in the ck-coloured mes. ''What the hell?'' This was thest thought in his head as Ajax''s body turned into ashes. ''Ding, The host''s passive skill ''Emergency ghost'' is triggered. The host will be revived within a few seconds. However, in the next second, Ajax felt alive again as his spirit consciousness form revived again. ''Ding, The host has sessfully revived. The host will temporarily enter into an ''Enraged state''. ''Ding, Enraged state: The host''s battle prowess will be doubled. It will be stacked with the effects of the Aqua dragon bloodline. ''Ding, The host''s temporary battle prowess will be increased by 40 times. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head, making him excited. At first, Ajax was surprised; however, he remembered the special effect of his ''Emergency ghost'' and was no longer surprised. ''But I never imagined that the effects from the Emergency ghost can be stacked with the effects from the Aqua dragon bloodline.'' However, there was still something that surprised him which was the stacking effect of the skill and the bloodline. ''Now, I think I can survive after one minute and clear the hall without any issue.'' Ajax chuckled to himself as his spirit consciousness form resurrected from the ashes. "Do you think I am dead already? I havee back even more powerful now." After turning Ajax into ashes, the Hell Cerberus didn''t even bother to look at him and turned around to go back to the Mask Reaper. ''Grr'' However, when it heard Ajax''s words, it stopped in its tracks and turned back to look at Ajax. ''p'' "Haha¡­interesting. I have never seen someone survive the Hellfire of my Doggie." From the side, the masked reaper pped and praised Ajax. "Even though your cultivation is low, you have some unique trump cards. Not bad." The masked reaper acknowledged Ajax as a worthy participant before saying, "However, your cultivation is pitiful less to fight my doggie. First, increase your cultivation ande back. Now leave." "Low-cultivation? Okay then, I will increase it." Chapter 1489 Mid-Level King Realm Cultivator Chapter 1489 Mid-Level King Realm Cultivator¡¡¡¡"Low-cultivation? Okay then, I will increase it." Even though the masked reaper''s words seemed like he had acknowledged Ajax as a worthy challenger, he was obviously looking down on Ajax. Ajax didn''t find anything wrong in the Masked Reaper''s words and it was not his first time hearing since his cultivation was verypared to the hall guardians who seemed to have high-level emperor realm cultivation. ''Even though I didn''t want to increase my cultivation so soon. I have to clear this hall at any cost.'' Ajax didn''t bother to store his Greater world core and muttered, ''I want to use the Greater world core and enter into the Mid-level King realm cultivator.'' ''Ding, Detecting whether the host has met the conditions to enter the mid-level king realm. ''Ding, 1) Two cultivator''s souls. 2) One world Core. ''Ding, The host has met the conditions. Using the Greater world core to make him a Mid-level King realm cultivator. As soon as he thought in his head, a series of system notifications rang in his head, and soon, his aura started rising from low-level king realm to mid-level king realm cultivation. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a mid-level king realm cultivator. ''Huh?'' The masked reaper didn''t understand Ajax''s words in the beginning; however, when he sensed that the cultivation pressure released by Ajax increased, he was surprised. "Even if an ant evolved into a winged ant, it is still an ant that can be easily stepped on." Nevertheless, the masked reaper shook his head and ordered the Hell Cerberus, "Doggie, let him taste your Hellfire once again." ''Roar'' As soon as it received the masked reaper''s orders, the Hell Cerberus roared at Ajax and repeated the same actions as before. ''Hellfire'' It was so fast that Ajax didn''t have much time to think as he saw the ck-coloured mese out of Hell Cerberus''s mouth. ''Fire Devour'' Nevertheless, unlike before, he was able to activate his cultivator''sw, and this time it was 40 times stronger than before. Moreover, he even had a breakthrough into the mid-level king realm cultivation. So, he thought it could survive long enough to clear the hall. ''I don''t know how much longer I can stay in the ''Enraged state''. I need to survive in this hall for another 30 seconds.'' So far, Ajax had already survived 30 seconds in the hall and as long as he survived for another 30 seconds, he could clear the hall. At the same time, he didn''t forget the side effect of his ''Emergency ghost'' after the ''Enraged state'', which was to be weak for at least three days. If his body was injured severely in the ''Enraged state'' then it might take even longer to recover his strength. ''Damn it¡­these mes are so hot.'' Before the mes could reach him, Ajax felt they were very hot and even with his king-grade body, he was sweating a lot. ''Devour'' Without any hesitation, he even activated the skill rted to the cultivator''s soul. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the ck mes came out of the Hell Cerberus''s mouth; however, before they touched Ajax, a small portal opened in front of Ajax which devoured the ck-coloured mes. ''Ding, The Hell mes are [peak Emperor grade mes and the host can''t use the ''me Devour'' to devour them for much longer unless he increases the level of his cultivator''s soul and his cultivation. Soon, Ajax received a system notification that made him anxious. ''I need to survive for another 20 seconds.'' Nevertheless, Ajax gritted his teeth and continued to devour the ck-coloured mes. ''Swoosh'' However, the intensity of the mes increased with each passing second and Ajax felt that he would be devoured by the ck-coloured mes at any time. ''Should I use the Blessing refining technique now?'' Ajax was tempted to use the Blessing refining technique because ording to his master he could gain powerful skills and techniques. "What is taking you so long?" From the back, the masked reaper''szy voice resounded, making Ajax grit his teeth. "So, be it. I will just use¡­" "If other hall guardians know that we let this participant clear our hall, then we will be theughingstock." ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Just as Ajax was nning to circte the main version of the blessing refining technique to awaken the skills and the techniques, he saw the masked reaper appear beside him and casually sh at him with his long scythe. ''Puchi'' Now, there was nothing Ajax could do other than get shed by the long scythe. Even though he thought to use the ''Teleport'' to escape, he could feel that before he could teleport he would be burned by the ck-coloured mes. Soon the battle tower''s spirit started announcing his failure. Even though he died, Ajax was not sent out of the battle tower as he entered an endless space. ''No'' Once again the tower asked Ajax whether he wanted to enter the hall; however, he rejected it without thinking much because he had other things to take care of. ''I will enter the special cultivation chamber after finishing the auction in the trader''s realm.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax left the battle tower and entered the inner world. ''Sacred Dragon Fruit.'' Since there were still a few days left for the auction, Ajax started to empty out his inventory. So, he started with the sacred dragon fruit that he got from the battle tower. "Little gr¡­no Big green." He directly flew toward the huge arcane green turtle and asked it to eat the fruit. "As long as you eat it, you will be the king realm spirit beast." ''Tut tut'' The green turtle''s eyes shone when it sees the fruit in Ajax''s hands as it eats the fruit. ''Swoosh'' Soon, it started shining with a bright green light, raising Ajax''s expectations. Chapter 1490 Draconic Spirit Turtle King Chapter 1490 Draconic Spirit Turtle King¡¡¡¡''Swoosh'' The arcane spirit turtle brightly shone for more than an hour, making Ajax even more curious about its evolution. It was amonly known fact that the longer the duration for the evolution, the more powerful the contracted spirit beast would be.

''Blurb'' The turtle revealed a satisfied look in its eyes and it replied, "Master, it will take a day for me to refine the smaller world core into one random essence. Pleasee back tomorrow." ''...'' Ajax was speechless with the green turtle''s words and he looked at it intently. Chapter 1491 New Exploration Teams Chapter 1491 New Exploration Teams¡¡¡¡"One day? Okay." At first, Ajax was surprised that the green turtle opened its eyes so soon because refining a world core, even if it was a smaller world core, would take some time. Refining a smaller world core in a day already shows how powerful the spirit turtle had be. ''Exit'' Ajax didn''t waste much time in the inner world as he silently came out. ''Since I have be a mid-level king realm cultivator, I wonder where I can fight against the mid-level demon emperor?'' While sitting in the cultivation chamber of his manor, Ajax muttered to himself. Even though he had faced the Hell Cerberus and the masked reaper in the hall, Ajax had barely done anything before getting killed by the masked reaper. Therefore, he wondered about his battle prowess. ''There is no way I can test my battle prowess any time soon as I will be busy with other things for some time.'' For the current Ajax, smaller worlds don''t pose any threat and he had to enter a normal world or a greater world to find a worthy opponent to duel. However, he had to attend the auction in the trader''s realm. So, he didn''t want to n on going on an adventure for the moment. ''Once I can find a proper source for the nt essence, I can search for a good Normal world for Snow to rule. At the same time, I can use the greater world ticket.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the mission and the word ticket. However, Ajax knew that it would take a while to conquer a normal world even with his army. But the real problem was not conquering the normal world; instead, finding a good world for Snow to rule. ''Even if it takes some time, I should find a good Normal world for Snow.'' Ajax was adamant about it as he continued thinking, ''As for the world ticket, I don''t know when I will get another world ticket. So, I need to make good use of it by staying as long as possible in that greater world.'' He nned that he had to settle all the things in his worlds and nurture the lesser world in the elven world, the soul nourishment tree in the inner world before entering the ticket. ''Now, let''s create more exploration teams.'' Ajax thought about his future ns for a while before walking out of the manor with a n to create more exploration teams for world-conquering. ''Exploration team 2 and team 4, do you still want to remain as the same team or change?'' Before creating the additional exploration teams, Ajax asked the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits from the two teams. "We don''t have any problem, master." Damilius and the two golden bear kings shook their heads as they decided to stay on the same team. "Summoning master, if possible, I want to have a separate team with me as the team leader?" Both Blood and Cerauno asked Ajax at the same time, making Ajax shake his head. "Damilius, Dan and Zan, you can go now. If you sense any danger, you can escape. There is no reason to fight the enemies that were out of our league." Since they would be exploring between worlds, they might encounter some dangers. To Ajax,pared to winning a fight, staying alive was what he wanted. As long as one is alive, he could have another fight and win it from the mistake learned from the previous fights. So, he asked them to be careful while exploring and quickly sent them away on their own flying artifact. "You want your own teams, right?" After sending away the exploration team 2, Ajax looked at the two elemental spirits from team 2 and asked. "Yes, summoning master." Ajax already knew about the feud between Cerauno and Blood and silently asked Necros, ''Necros, is it hopeless for them to work together?'' The reason why he put both Cerauno and Blood on the same team as he wanted to work together and acknowledge each other for their strength. However, from their words, Ajax felt hopeless. Nevertheless, he asked Necros, the one who was the team leader of team 4 and the one who could stop them from fighting. ''Master, it is not hopeless. They even worked together in one of the worlds we conquered.'' Ajax was surprised by Necros and took another look at Cerauno and Blood. ''But, why do they want separate teams when they can work together?'' However, Ajax was confused at the two elemental spirits as he didn''t understand why they wanted toe out of team 4. ''It''s okay, master. Let them have their own teams. They will have a healthypetition on how many worlds they could conquer during their exploration.'' Based on his appearance, no one would think that Necros was so observant; however, Ajax knew how observant Necros was. So, he didn''t mind taking his advice and decided to create new teams with Blood and Cerauno as the team leaders. "Since we got four extra flying artifacts, we can create four more teams." Ajax didn''t waste any time as he formed four more new teams for the otherworldly exploration. Exploration team 4: Necros (Dark), Nite (Beast / Dark), Dabrus (Dark). Exploration team 5: Blood (Blood), it (Earth), Septon (Metal). Exploration team 6: Cerauno (Lightning), Lumin (Light), Neigh (Ice). Exploration team 7: ck Yetis, Hybrid steel-winged vulture, Four-winged demonic snake. Exploration team 8: Zen (Assassin), Twin-tailed lightning cat, Armoured Dark Jaguar. He decided to send all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that reached the King realm. Since they all became the king realm beings recently, Ajax felt it would be a good training drill for them to go on an otherworldly exploration. "Follow your team leader''s order and stay alive at any cost." Ajax ordered them to stay alive before sending them on their otherworldly journey. "Now, let''s see whether I can connect the second elemental spirit world to the purple stone world." He checked the progress of the dwarf regarding the weapons beforeing back to the purple stone world to see whether he could connect the elemental spirit world to it. Chapter 1492 Summoning is a previlege to humans Chapter 1492 Summoning is a previlege to humans¡¡¡¡In the core realm of the Purple Stone world, "Master" Seeing Ajax enter the core realm, the world spirit greeted him and asked, "Is there something I can help you with?" "Yes. I want to connect the purple stone world with a new elemental spirit world. Is it possible?" Before using the ''Elemental spirit world''s pearl'', Ajax wanted to ask the world spirit whether it was possible for the purple stone world to have two elemental spirit worlds. "Huh? Master wants to add a new elemental spirit world?" The world spirit was shocked when she heard Ajax''s words; however, she suppressed her shock before replying, "It is not possible, master." "Not possible? Sigh." Ajax was having bad premonitions regarding it and as expected he could not connect a second elemental spirit world with the purple stone world. "Generally, a normal world can have only one elemental spirit world and a smaller world can''t even have that one elemental spirit world." The world spirit continued her exnation, "Whereas a Greater world can have multiple elemental spirit worlds and each one of the elemental spirits in those elemental spirit worlds could start cultivating even before they form a contract with a summoner." "What? They can cultivate even before forming a contact?" ording to the basics he learned from Elder Boron and the system, the elemental spirits needed a summoner to channel their essence of nature. For cultivation, channeling the essence of nature was the basic step. So, the elemental spirits needed a summoner before starting their cultivation. ''It looks like the difference between the elemental spirit worlds of a normal world and a greater world are quite scary.'' Ajax could not help but bitterly shake his head. The starting point of the cultivators and the elemental spirits belonging to the Greater worlds were already quite high, not to mention, that the essence of nature in the normal world could not bepared with the pure essence of nature in the Greater worlds. ''Also, I can understand why Elder Boron said that the elemental spirits needed a contract with the summoners to start their cultivation. But, why did the system give the incorrect information?'' Since Elder Boron was a cultivator from a normal world, he didn''t know that the elemental spirits in the elemental spirit worlds which were connected to the greater worlds could cultivate. However, the system had vast information about almost everything and it must have also known about it but it didn''t reveal this information to Ajax. ''Leave it. The system might have said only about the elemental spirits from a normal world like the purple stone world.'' Since the system was under upgrade, Ajax didn''t think much about it and left the core realm. ''If I can''t connect the second elemental spirit world, can I connect it with the other non-human worlds?'' Aftering out of the core realm, Ajax looked at the elemental spirit world''s pearl and thought about it. Bing summoners was a privilege to humans and a few other humanoid races. So, Ajax fell into a dilemma of whether he could connect an elemental spirit world to one of his non-human worlds. The five elemental world, the normal grey dwarf world, and the normal elven world. These three worlds were non-human worlds. The grey dwarf world is a home for grey dwarves that excel in weaponsmithing and they don''t need the elemental spirits. The elven world is a home for elves that excels in growing trees and medicinal nts. Because of their rtionship with nature, their lifespan was three times longer than the cultivators from the other races. As for the five elemental world, it was a half-elven world and half bestial world. Spirit beasts already have higher battle prowess than humans and other races; however, with the help of the re-cultivation, some of the spirit beasts would be even more powerful to make all the spirit beast races have an equal footing against the other races. When ites to humans, they are good at learning anything and at the same time, blessed with an additional trait which is to form a contract with the elemental spirits. Forming a contract with the spirit beasts was not exclusive to the human race because the other races also form contracts with them. Also, the spirit beasts from the bestial world also take the master role in such a contract. That''s how things were managed in the universe. Since humans were the only ones who could exclusively form the contract with the elemental spirits, only human worlds have the elemental spirit worlds connected to them. ''If it is possible to connect the elemental spirit world with non-human worlds, the five elemental world would be the best option to connect the elemental spirit world. Since almost all the spirit beasts in the five elemental world have already re-cultivated, if they could enter the elemental spirit world from the contracts with the elemental spirits, they would be insanely powerful. ''I hope I can connect the elemental spirit world to the five elemental world.'' Ajax really hoped to connect the elemental spirit world because it would be too much of a waste to have an elemental spirit world with him but he could not enter it or bring out the elemental spirits from it. Even though the elemental spirit world was able to connect with the mutated bronze demon world, Ajax was not sure the same thing would happen with the other non-human worlds. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up and wanted to reach a conclusion regarding it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he opened the portal to enter the five elemental world and without wasting any time, he entered the core realm. "Master." The world spirit was surprised by Ajax''s sudden visit. "I want to connect an elemental spirit world with this world. Is it possible?" Ajax nodded his head at the world spirit and asked whether it was possible to connect the elemental spirit world with the five elemental world. "It is possible to connect; however, we need an eleme¡­" "Is it enough?" Ajax was excited as took out the pearl and showed it to the world spirit with an excited smile. Chapter 1493 [Bonus chapter] World Spirits are also Cultivators Chapter 1493 [Bonus chapter] World Spirits are also Cultivators¡¡¡¡"Master¡­isn''t that the legendary item ''Elemental spirit world''s pearl''?" The world spirit was shocked to see the pearl in Ajax''s and replied to him, "It''s enough." Since he received the elemental spirit world''s pearl in the spirit consciousness form, Ajax didn''t have any problem bringing it into the core realm. Even if he didn''t receive it in the spirit consciousness form, Ajax would have no problem in bringing it into the core as he already mastered bringing the physical items into the core realm. "Good." Ajax was already excited at the fact that he could connect the elemental spirit world with the five elemental world. "However, I don''t know how to connect the elemental spirit world with this world." The world spirit was excited when she saw her master have an elemental spirit world''s pearl; however, when she realized that she didn''t gain the enlightenment into connecting the elemental spirit worlds. Hence, her excitement turned into a disappointment as she informed Ajax. Like how the humans and other races cultivate to be powerful and peer into the world''s secrets, the world spirits also cultivate to increase the grade of their worlds and peer into the universal secrets. At the same time, depending on the cultivation of the world spirits, the benefits that the cultivators in the world receive would be increased. "It''s not an issue. We cane up with a n together." Ajax looked at the dejected world spirit and asked her to not worry. ''I thought the five elemental world spirit would be knowledgeable enough to know the process of connecting the elemental spirit world.'' Even though he consoled the world spirit, Ajax was also disappointed because he assumed the world spirit would know the process. ''Sigh¡­there is nothing I can do now other than racking my brain toe up with a n.'' Ajax thought he could finally connect the elemental spirit world to the five elemental world when he heard the world spirit''s reply. Now, he was sighing and racking his brain to find a solution. "Master, how about you ask the other world spirit? They must have higher cultivation than me?" Suddenly, the world spirit suggested an idea for Ajax. She had already learned from Ajax that he had three more worlds other than the five elemental worlds. "Is it of no use? You are the only one with the highest cultivation among all the world spirits I have." Ajax''s eyes lit up for a moment before bing dull as he shook his head saying it''s useless. Currently, Ajax has four normal worlds under his control and each world has already given birth to a world spirit of its own. The four worlds and their grades 1) Five elemental world: Level 5 Normal grade. 2) Purple stone world: Level 3 Normal grade. 3) Grey dwarf world: Level 2 Normal grade. 4) Elven world: Level 1 Normal grade. Since the cultivation of the world spirit is directly proportional to the grade of the world, the world spirit of the five elemental world was the strongest one among all the world spirits Ajax has under his control. ''Really?'' The world spirit was both happy and sad when she heard the reply. She was happy because she would be the big sister among the world spirits owned by Ajax. She was sad because they would not know how to connect the elemental spirit world with the five elemental world for a while. "Master, how about upgrading the grade of the five elemental world? Every time the world grade increases, the world spirit undergoes enlightenment unlocking the universal secrets." The world spirit hesitated a little before suggesting this method because even if she didn''t gain enlightenment on how to connect the elemental spirit world, she would be more powerful. As for how Ajax could upgrade the world level, the world spirit was not worried much because she knew Ajax had world cores. "I have already thought about it." However, Ajax shook his head because of a system notification. ''Ding, Do you want to use a normal world core to upgrade the world grade? Note: There is a 70 percent chance that the upgrade might fail. After seeing that system notification, Ajax instantly rejected that idea because he needed at least three normal world cores to upgrade the five elemental world to level 6 normal world. ''Three normal world cores are equivalent to 30 smaller world cores. I am not that rich to spend 30 world cores¡­at least not now.'' Unless he was in a dire need of upgrading the world, Ajax nned not to use the world cores until he became an Emperor realm cultivator. For that, he needed two more Greater world cores; however, currently, he only has 7 normal world cores and two smaller world cores. If everything goes as he nned, Ajax thought he could have two greater world cores in a year or so. "How about we try this?" Soon, Ajax thought of something and he started discussing it with the world spirit. "I think we can try it now." After discussing for some time, Ajax ced the pearl close to the five-coloured world core. There was no guidance for Ajax on how to connect the elemental spirit world and the five elemental spirit world; however, the world spirit and Ajax came up with a way to connect them. Since the elemental spirit world''s pearl acts as a world core for the elemental spirit world, Ajax hade up with that idea whereas the world spirit was in charge of slowly activating the world core. ''Swoosh'' Ajax was still holding the pearl in his head and he was ready to pull his hand back if he sensed something was not right. ''Siii'' Suddenly, both the five-coloured world core and the elemental spirit world''s pearl started shining brightly blinding the eyes of both Ajax and the world spirit. ''Is it working?'' In the next second, Ajax felt the elemental spirit world''s pearl in his hand being pulled by something like a ma. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for initiating a ''World Connection Process''. Chapter 1494 Connecting the Worlds Chapter 1494 Connecting the Worlds¡¡¡¡''Ding, Congrattions to the host for initiating a ''World Connection Process''. Soon, a system notification rang in Ajax''s head, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he read that, Ajax no longer pulled the pearl away from the world core; instead, he released it. ''Plop'' Within no time, the small pearl entered the five-coloured world core as though a water drop falling into a bowl of water. ''Ding, The five elemental world core is connecting with the elemental spirit word stored inside the pearl. ''Ding, Estimated connecting time: One month.'' Soon, two system notifications rang in his head, making Ajax raise his brows. ''One month is long; however, I can wait.'' Even though Ajax felt waiting for a month was too long, he didn''tin much about it. ''As long as the elemental spirit world is connected with the five elemental world, I will be having the bestial and elven summoners.'' Just thinking about the benefits of connecting the elemental spirit world made Ajax excited and wanted to fast forward one month. Even though it would take some time for the natives of the five elemental world to be the summoners, Ajax didn''t mind waiting because, with his current cultivation, he could live for thousands of years. Therefore, waiting for a century or two was nothing for the 16-year-old Ajax. "Since the elemental spirit world''s pearl is taken care of, it''s time to prepare for the auction." Ajax came out of the core realm to prepare for the uing auction. Aftering out of the core realm, Ajax went to his fiancee and the lesser world tree was very happy with Ajax''s visit. Ajax had two reasons for visiting the Elf Queen Siora. One, since he would be marrying her, Ajax wanted to know more about her and the second thing was because of the cultivation bed, which can increase his cultivation speed. ''Let''s see what I can auction off right now.'' Ajax spent some time with Siora as both of them were awkward most of the time. After that, Ajax sat on the cultivation bed and started sorting the things in his inventory. ''One smaller world core will be the main item I will be putting in the auction. As for the side items, I will throw in a few legend grade items.'' Along with a smaller world core, Ajax threw in a few legend-grade items. That''s right! He was nning to sell off the legend-grade items. Earlier, when he was in the Normal Grey Dwarf world, his dwarf followers have given him all the legend-grade artifacts and weapons they have refined for thest month. ''Even though there were only 10 legend grade items, they can act as the side items in the auction for the world core.'' Among the 100 dwarf towns, only 10 towns were able to produce a single legend-grade weapon after a month''s refining. If not for Ajax permission to refine whatever and whenever they want to refine, even those 10 legend-grade artifacts and weapons would have been not refined. ''Since they just started refining the legend grade items, they didn''t have many high properties. So, I can sell them without feeling anything.'' From the beginning, Ajax''s goal was to sell the weapons and artifacts refined by the grey dwarves. So, he didn''t think much about the legend-grade items and decided to sell them off along with the smaller world core. ''If it was a year back, I would have not dared to sell the Heaven grade items, much less the legendary grade items.'' Ajax could not help but chuckle when hepared how weak he used to be one year back and how powerful he had be after undergoing countless trials and tribtions. ''I should visit the master after the auction and ask him regarding his fake bloodline awakening potion.'' Whenever he checked his inventory, Ajax remembered the bloodline awakening potion given to him by his master. ''He said to dring the potion before bing the king realm cultivator; however, the system suggested that I should drink it after bing the king realm cultivator.'' Between the two suggestions, Ajax obviously chose the system''s suggestion because he felt the reason given by the system was right. However, after drinking the bloodline awakening potion, whatever the system said, it didn''t happen, making him confused. Currently, he could not ask the system because it was under upgrade and he had to wait three months to know why the bloodline awakening potion didn''t work on him. So, he could only ask his master, the bloodline emperor Mostror. ''ording to the master, the hidden bloodlines in a cultivator''s body will disappear after bing a kin realm cultivator; however, the system said only the weak bloodlines will disappear whereas the strong bloodlines would be purer and he could awaken at least one powerful bloodline.'' Ajax repeatedly thought about it before falling asleep in the cultivation bed. ¡­.. Next day, ''Master, I have sessfully refined the world core.'' Ajax was woken by the draconic turtle''s voice in his head. ''Huh? When did I fall asleep?'' He was shocked at the fact that he was asleep because a mid-level king cultivator could stay awake for months and still he would not be tired. ''Is it because of the cultivation bed?'' Looking at the green-coloured bed, Ajax muttered to himself. It was the only thing that was capable of putting Ajax to sleep¡­at least that''s what he thought. ''Anyway, let''s enter the inner world and take a look at which essence the draconic turtle has refined from the world core.'' With a thought, his spirit consciousness form entered the inner world and headed straight to the draconic turtle. "So, what did you refine from the world core?" With an expectant look, Ajax asked the draconic turtle, hoping it was a nt essence. ''Ding, The draconic spirit turtle king has refined a small world core into 100 units of world essence. As soon as he asked the turtle, he received the system notification informing about the refinement of the smaller world core. Chapter 1495 World Essence Chapter 1495 World Essence¡¡¡¡''100 units of World Essence?'' Looking at the system notifications, Ajax raised his brows. ''Ding, World Essence is the purest power of world energy that could be used to upgrade the world, and nurture the lesser world tree and the world tree. At the same time, a default system notification rang in his head, exining the uses of the world essence. ''I can use the world core to directly do those things. What''s the difference between using a world core and the world essence?'' Ajax didn''t find any differences between the above-mentioned things because he could do the same with the world core. ''Ding, Using the world essence gives twice the results as using the world core direction. ''Ding, For example, if the host needed two smaller world cores to nurture a lesser world tree to ten meters, then he needs only 100 units of the world essence. ''Ding, Another important thing is, using the world essence, the cultivators who follow the World Energy Cultivation can increase their cultivation and battle prowess. ''Oh.'' Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he nodded his head in understanding. In this universe, there were many cultivation systems and some even created their own cultivation. The moremon cultivation system was using the essence of nature avable in the world. Even though it was slow, it was safe and didn''t require a cultivator to undergo any painful processes. Another one was a Body Cultivation System where a cultivator needs to undergo a painful body tempering process for each level they progress in their cultivation. Whereas in Ajax''s case even though it was not painful, it was a difficult one because not anyone could enter the core realm and pick the world cores. Even if some had the ability to pick the world cores from the core realm, they would directly use the smaller world cores to upgrade their cultivation; however, Ajax used normal world cores before the King realm. Since he was now a King realm cultivator and only three three world cores, he decided to use the Greater world cores and already used two of them to be a Mid-level king realm cultivator. ''I don''t know who uses this type of cultivation system. Anyway, I can focus on either upgrading my worlds or nurturing the lesser world tree in the Normal Elven World.'' Ajax thought about the cultivators; however, he didn''t think of anyone close to him and stopped thinking about it because he could do so many things with the world essence. ''I wonder to which height the lesser world tree would grow with the 100 units.'' Ajax thought of using the world essence on nurturing the lesser world tree to see how useful it would be. ''Before that, let''s refine another world core.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax fed the draconic turtle with another smaller world core. ''Kacha'' The draconic turtle started eating the smaller world core as though it was candy. ''I hope I can get the nt essence this time.'' With the help of its skill ''Ultimate Essence Refiner'', the draconic turtle could refine anything and the end product always changes. So, Ajax hoped he would get nt essence this time. "Master, see you tomorrow." The draconic turtle returned to its pond. Since the draconic turtle needed one day topletely refine the smaller core, Ajax silently left the inner world because there was nothing he could do to fasten the speed of the draconic turtle''s refinement. "You woke up?" The moment he woke up his eyes in the tree chamber, Ajax saw Siora''s beautiful face and flustered a little. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and asked Siora, "What type of cultivation system do you follow?" Since Siora was born from the lesser world tree, Ajax guessed she might use the world''s energy. If so, then he could help her with the world essence. ''What''s wrong in helping my fiancee be powerful?'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he waited for Siora'' reply. "Huh? I don''t follow any cultivation system. I just use the pure world energy that my mother provides me from time to time." Siora didn''t understand why Ajax was asking her that suddenly. Nevertheless, she replied hoe she cultivated. "Oh." Ajax was surprised that she doesn''t follow any cultivation system. "Then what is your cultivation? You seemed more powerful than the mid-level emperor realm cultivators that I have seen." Ajax was curious about Siora''s cultivation from the beginning and when he heard she didn''t have a specific cultivation system, he became even more curious about her cultivation. "I broke through to the Emperor realm a few days prior to meeting you." If it was someone else, Queen Siora would have not answered; however, Ajax was her fiance approved by her mother. So, there was nothing wrong with getting to know each other''s cultivation. Since Queen Siora was an Emperor realm cultivator, she could easily check Ajax''s cultivation; however, Ajax could not check her cultivation even with the help of the system because his cultivation was low. "What? You are only a low-level Emperor realm cultivator?" Ajax was shocked by Queen Siora''s reply because he thought she would have at least a mid-level emperor realm cultivation. When he first met Queen Siora, she was the most powerful cultivator he had ever seen after the Primordial Demon Emperor. The primordial demon emperor was already a peak-level emperor realm cultivator and only an inch away from breaking through to the next realm. Whereas Queen Siora was only a low-level emperor realm cultivator with a battle prowess that could rival a regr high-level emperor realm cultivator. "However, the energy provided by the mother is losing its effectiveness in increasing my cultivation. I need to find another source to collect the pure world energy." Siora was born with the cultivation of King realm and it took her 15 years to be an Emperor realm cultivator. So, it was natural for the energy provided by the lesser world tree to lose its effect. "Siora, tell me whether you can use this energy." Chapter 1496 Helping Fiancee to Breakthrough Chapter 1496 Helping Fiancee to Breakthrough¡¡¡¡"Siora, tell me whether you can use this energy." After hearing Siora''s words, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he walked closer to Siora and touched her forehead with his index finger. ''Transfer one unit of world essence.'' At the same time, he transferred a single unit of the world essence into Siora''s body. Even though he could transfer the 100 units of the world essence into her body, Ajax didn''t know whether she would be able to use it or not. Moreover, 100 units of the world essence were not something that could be transferred carelessly because it might st the cultivator''s body. ''Only world trees could take the unlimited units of the world essence as they store the excess world essence in their root.'' After transferring one unit of the world essence into Siora''s body, Ajax waited for Siora to use it. "Th..this is the¡­.purest form of world energy." Siora was shocked at the energy that entered her body and looked at Ajax wih shocked eyes. "Yes. Can you absorb it and use it for your cultivation?" Ajax asked her with a slight smile as he silently thought, ''It looks like she can use the world essence to increase her cultivation.'' Even though Siora was yet to answer him, Ajax was sure about it. "Yes." Siora nodded her head and started refining the one unit of the world essence that Ajax sent. "It is the purest form of world essence I have ever used for my cultivation. If I can have 99 more drops of such pure world energy, I might have a minor realm breakthrough." It only took a few minutes for Siora to refine a single unit of the world essence and informed Ajax before saying, "Thank you." "What? If you have 99 more drops, will you have a breakthrough in your cultivation? Are you sure about it?" Ajax was shocked by Siora''s words and hurriedly asked her whether she was sure about her breakthrough. "Of course, I am sure about it." For some reason, Siora felt good when she saw Ajax getting shocked and nodded her head. ''It looks like he was shocked that I can have a breakthrough with the 100 drops of pure world energy. I wonder where he got that pure world energy from.'' At the same time, she was thinking about the origin of the pure world energy and hoped, ''I hope he has 99 more drops of that pure world energy and I will have the breakthrough.'' "Good. Refine them and breakthrough in your cultivation." For an emperor realm cultivator, if 100 units of the world essence could help them breakthrough in their cultivation, Ajax felt it was worth it. The 100 units of the world essence he had with him now came from a smaller world core. Even though using a smaller world core to break through in the cultivation seemed rich, for Ajax, it was cheap. As a King realm cultivator, Ajax was using a greater world core which was equivalent to 100 smaller world cores. So, using a smaller world core to increase the cultivation of an Emperor realm cultivator was nothing in his eyes. Moreover, the other person was his fiancee. "What? You have more of this pure world energy?" Even though Siora was hoping that Ajax had more drops of the pure world energy, she was shocked to hear her words. However, Ajax didn''t answer her with words; instead, he transferred the remaining 99 units of the world essence to Siora. ''Even though I am in need of world cores, having a mid-level emperor realm fiancee is not a bad thing. Moreover, since I am the emperor of this world, she would be the empress. So, she should have high cultivation.'' Even with a low-level emperor realm cultivation, Siora could defeat the regr high-level emperor realm cultivators. If he bes a mid-level emperor realm cultivator, she might easily kill the regr high-level emperor realm cultivators. Ajax didn''t think much about transferring the 100 units of the world essence to Siora as he waited for Siora to finish the refinement of the 99 units of the world essence. After one hour, It took exactly an hour before Siora to refine all 99 drops of the pure world energy; however, she didn''t open her eyes and still remained in the cross-legged position. ''Swiish'' Soon, a green-coloured halo surrounded Siora and a powerful cultivation pressure exuded from her body. ''So powerful.'' Ajax could not help butment regarding the cultivation pressure exuded by Siora. If not for his title [Emperor of the Worlds], he would have been suffocated by the powerful cultivation pressure exuded by Siora. ''Plop A sound came from Siora'' body as the halo surrounding her disappeared and she opened her eyes. "Did you already finish your breakthrough?" Seeing Siora open her eyes, Ajax was surprised as he hurriedly asked her. Generally, cultivators take days or even months to break through in their cultivation even when they are only an inch away from the breakthrough. They enter the seclusion and silently finish the breakthrough; however, Siora took only an hour to finish her breakthrough to the mid-level emperor realm cultivation. Hence, Ajax was surprised and asked her about the breakthrough. "Yes. Thanks to the pure world energy you gave to me, I was able to make a breakthrough. Thank you." Siora thanked Ajax with a slight smile on her face which was enough to topple the world. "Congrattions on breaking through to the mid-level emperor realm cultivation." Seeing her smile, Ajax was in a daze for a few moments before congratting her. "Huh? Mid-level emperor realm cultivation?" However, Siora raised her brows and looked at Ajax with confusion for a moment before realizing something. "I think you must have misunderstood something." Once she came to a realization, Siora shook her head and said, "I made a breakthrough in my cultivation; however, I didn''t be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator yet. I am still a low-level emperor realm cultivator." "What?" Ajax frowned as he didn''t understand her words. Chapter 1497 Sioras Cultivation Path Chapter 1497 Siora''s Cultivation Path¡¡¡¡Siora said she made a breakthrough in her cultivation; however, at the same time, she said she didn''t be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator. After a breakthrough, a low-level emperor realm cultivator would be a mid-level emperor realm cultivation; however, Siora imed she didn''t be one. Therefore, Ajax was confused by her words and asked Siora about her current cultivation level. "I am still a low-level emperor realm cultivator; however, I made a breakthrough from level 1 to level 2 emperor realm cultivation." Siora replied about her breakthrough in detail, making Ajax understand something. "How many levels do you need to break through to be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator?" Since Siora''s cultivation was different from the regr cultivators, Ajax guessed she might have a specific number of levels in the Emperor realm. "I have 10 levels in the King realm and the same number of levels in the Emperor realm too." Siora started exining her cultivation path, "Whenever I have enough world energy, I will make the breakthrough to the next level." "As the level of my cultivation increases, the world energy I need to break through to the next level doubles or triples. Also,pared to the king realm, in the emperor realm, it required me ten times more energy to breakthrough from level 1 to level 2." "When you asked me about my cultivation, I said I am a Low-level emperor realm cultivator because I ssified my cultivation into four minor realms. They are Low-level, Mid-level, High-level, and Peak-level." "From level 1 to level 3, it is low-level, level 4 to level 6 is mid-level, level 7 to level 9 is high-level whereas the level 10 emperor realm cultivation means, peak-level emperor realm cultivator." Ajax patiently listened to Siora and tried to understand more about her cultivation path. ''It looks simr to the cultivation I followed for the soldier realm and elite soldier realm.'' After hearing about Siora''s cultivation path, Ajax thought of his initial stages of cultivation. During that time, all he needed was the essence of nature. As long as he had the required units of the essence of nature, he could increase his cultivation just like how Siora could increase her cultivation as long as she had enough world energy. Another simrity was the number of level 1 in a major realm. "So, if you have 200 drops of the pure world energy, you can break through to the level 3 Emperor realm cultivation, right?" When he rted Siora''s cultivation path with his initial cultivation path, Ajax gained a full understanding of it and asked Siora about the next level requirement. "If I am lucky, it will be 200 drops of the pure world energy; otherwise, it might be 300 drops." Siora replied with a slight smile on her face. She was not worried about the number of drops she needed to refine to achieve the next breakthrough because it was not something in her hands. It was entirely based on luck. So, she didn''t waste time thinking about it. "Oh." Ajax nodded his head and said nothing. "By the way, where did you get such pure world energy?" Even though Siora wanted more of such pure world energy, she was embarrassed to ask for more when she already received 100 drops of pure world energy. So, she didn''t ask for more; instead, she asked Ajax about the source of pure world energy. "Hm" Ajax thought for a moment before saying, "One of my contracted spirit beasts could refine heavenly treasures into pure essence." Ajax took that moment to think whether he should say how he got the world essence or not. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell her. "Wow! It must be a powerful contracted spirit beast." Siora was surprised; however, when she remembered how mysterious Ajax was, she was no longer surprised. "Yeah. It''s one of a kind." Thinking of the skills of the draconic turtle, Ajax nodded his head and said it was a special one. "I wonder which heavenly treasure you used to get so much pure world energy?" Since Siora learned from where Ajax got the pure world energy, she thought of something and asked about it. ''As long as I can provide the heavenly treasures, I can ask for more pure world energy.'' In this universe, who didn''t want to be powerful? Siora was also not an exception. However, she didn''t want to take full advantage of Ajax just because they were engaged. She thought of providing the heavenly treasures that could be refined into pure world energy. "The 100 drops of the pure world essence was the output of a smaller world core." "What?" However, when she heard Ajax''s answer, Siora lost all hope and muttered, ''World Core¡­where will I get a world core?'' Even though getting the heavenly resources was not an easy thing, Siora thought she could collect one or two with her current strength. However, a world core where it was a normal world core or a smaller world core, was pletely out of her reach. "Don''t worry. From time to time, I will provide you with some pure world energy in exchange for looking after the Five Elemental World." Looking at Siora''s disappointed look, Ajax could tell what she was thinking. So, he said he would provide her some pure world energy once in a while. Since Ajax could tell from Siora''s earlier words that she was embarrassed to take the free pure world energy from him, he intentionally added a small condition to make her feel less embarrassed. "Is it really okay for you to give away such pure world energy?" Earlier, Siora didn''t know that the world energy she used to break through in her cultivation came from a smaller world core. However, after learning it, she was a little hesitant even after Ajax mentioned that he was not giving it to her for free. Moreover, when Ajax gave a world core to her mother, she heard him say that he was also in need of world cores, making her even more hesitant. Chapter 1498 Auction Chapter 1498 Auction¡¡¡¡"It''s alright. Also, I am not giving it to you for free. You will take care of the Five Elemental World in my ce." Ajax replied to her with a slight smile. ''Is he taking me for a little girl or what?'' Siora could tell easily that he was saying those words in order to not make her embarrassed. Nevertheless, she didn''t say anything and nodded her head and thought, ''I should find a way to leave the five elemental world as soon as possible.'' ''Once I can do that, I can travel to other worlds and help him in conquering the other worlds.'' Right now, Siroa decided to shamelessly take the world energy from Ajax; however, she swore to help Ajax by helping him in conquering the worlds in the future. ording to her mother, she had to be a high-level emperor realm cultivator which means she needed at least level 7 emperor realm cultivation to sever the connection that was stopping her from leaving the five elemental world. ''I can not only fufil my dream of venturing to other worlds but I can also get to know him better.'' Siora was always curious about the other worlds. So, she was determined to find a way to sever the connection with her mother, the lesser world tree because reaching level 7 emperor realm cultivation would definitely take a few decades. "Please take care of the Five elemental world and keep an eye on the Dusk Mammoth in the wilderness. Support it with some natural treasures to increase its cultivation." The Ancient Evergreen Forest of the Elves was filled with many natural treasures that could help below the king realm beings. So, Ajax asked Siora to keep an eye on the unevolved spirit beast Ajax tamed a few days back in the five elemental world. "Don''t worry. I will make the five elemental world powerful." Siora could tell that Ajax wanted to make all the living beings inside the Five elemental world as powerful as possible. Therefore, she assured him that because she wanted the same. The more powerful the cultivators be, the sooner the grade of the world core increases. The higher the grade of the world cores, the more benefits such as enlightenment, and birth of the natural treasures would be given to the inhabitants of the world. "Good." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile. Next, he spoke about a few more things, both personal and worldly matters with Siora before saying goodbye to her and the lesser world tree. With a thought, he teleported to the three bird tribes, three fox tribes, and the mountain lions. He checked their cultivation and discussed a few things regarding the future of each tribe before leaving the five elemental world through the portal connecting to the Purple stone world. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and in a sh, the auction day in the trader''s realm hade. ''Even though I am searching for a source of the nt essence, I don''t mind finding some valuable treasures in the auction today.'' With an excited smile, Ajax entered the trader''s realm from the Grey Dwarf World. Since Ajax was able to enter the trader''s realm using one of the artifacts belonging to the Grey Dwarf World, he could only enter the trader''s realm from the Grey Dwarf World. He was excited because the auction in the trader''s realm was not a regr auction that could be found anywhere in the normal world. It was an auction, only king realm cultivators could enter. Moreover, the entry ticket costs one hundred thousand trading tokens which was a lot of trading tokens for the regr king realm cultivators. Therefore, most of the participants for the auction would be Emperor realm cultivators or the young master of the powerful families from the Greater worlds. ''Entering the trader''s realm would already filter a lot of low-level and even high-level cultivators. The entry fee would scare another batch of cultivators, leaving only a few powerful cultivators.'' While thinking about his fellow participants in today''s auction, Ajax entered the trader''s realm. "The auction will start soon. I have already registered your items for today''s auction. Try to buy at least one item from the auction andif possible buy two items for a guaranteed upgrade in your trader''s level. Now, go." As soon as he entered the trader''s realm, he met his dark elf friend who urged him to rush to the auction house. "Okay." Ajax took the help of the Dark elf regarding the auction. Of course, Ajax gave the lesser world tree seed to him in exchange for his help. The Dark elf tried to reject it saying it was too precious; however, Ajax was not the type to give up so easily. In the end, the Dark elf with the virtual name Nightelf eventually took the gift. ... The auction house in the trader''s realm was huge and heavily guarded. All the cultivators that were entering the auction house had minimum cultivation of high-level king realm cultivation whereas most of them had a low-level emperor realm cultivation. ''Even the guards are emperor realm cultivators. I wonder how powerful the master of this trader''s realm was.'' The two guards at the main entrance had the cultivation of a low-level emperor realm, making Ajax surprised and curious about the cultivation of the owner of the trader''s realm. ''Is he a cultivator that surpassed the Emperor realm? Or two realms higher than the emperor realm?'' While thinking about the owner of the trader''s realm, Ajax walked into the auction house as the guards asked him with faces full of respect. "Respected trader, please show your entry pass." "Here." Soon, Ajax showed the entry pass that he got a few days back. "Wee to the Trader''s Auction House." As soon as they saw the ck-coloured entry pass, the guards became even more respectful as they weed Ajax into the auction. A ck-coloured entry pass implies that the cultivator was not only a participant but also the seller of one of the items in the auction house. Unlike the regr auctions, only legend-grade items and valuable items were allowed to list their products in the auction. So, a seller gets much more respect than a participant who might or might not buy any auction items. "Hm" Ajax had already prepared for such reactions from the guards after getting the brief introduction of the auction house from his friend. ''I am a young master of a powerful family from a greater human world.'' Currently, Ajax was wearing the robes he bought using 100000 trading tokens because he didn''t want to be looked down on by the other participants. Moreover, he thought it was better to act like a young master from a powerful family rather than a cultivator from a low-level normal world. "Young master, please follow me." Soon, a young woman guided Ajax to a special chamber for the ck-coloured pass holders. "Wee to the Trader''s auction house." After settling in the special chambers, Ajax waited for a few minutes because a beautiful elf with revealing clothes weed all the participants of the auction, standing in the center. "Let''s not waste any time and start the auction with the first item." The beautiful elf took out a small pill bottle that had three golden-coloured pills. "The first time of the auction is Golden Emperor Skin Pills." The beautiful elf ced the pill bottle on a stand and started giving an introduction about the pill bottle. "The Golden Emperor Skin Pills. If a cultivator with a cultivation of King realm or even Emperor realm consumes these pills, a temporary golden skin appears on their body which gives a full defence even from a high-level emperor realm cultivator''s attack for a time period of five minutes." "There are a total of three of them. The initial price of the seller is one million trader''s tokens with a minimum increase in the bid of hundred thousands trader''s tokens. Start the bidding now." After giving the introduction of the item, the beautiful elf announced the starting price of the three pills. ''What? Those pills give such a strong defense?'' Ajax was already expecting to see some powerful items in the auction; however, he didn''t expect to see such a valuable item at the beginning of the auction itself. Even though it was not a valuable item in the eyes of the high-level emperor realm cultivators, it was very useful for king realm cultivators because they would be undefeatable for five minutes. ''Also, the starting price is so high. I wonder whether the other participants were willing to increase the price any further.'' Even though it was a valuable item in his eyes, it was useless in the eyes of a high-level emperor realm cultivator. "Two million trader''s tokens." "Three million trader''s tokens." . . "Ten million trader''s tokens" Just as Ajax was doubting the price would increase any further, the participants were crazy as they increased its price to ten million trader''s tokens within no time. "It looks like everyone participating in this auction seems very rich." Ajax had a bitter expression when he saw everyone was bidding as though it was a spare change for them. Earlier, he was already feeling he was rich with the one million trader''s tokens he received from the universal summoner by mistake. Now, he felt so poor that he didn''t even dare to bid because he had only 700000 trader''s tokens left after spending on the entry pass, clothes, and other things. "The Golden Emperor Skin Pills goes to Nightmare Fiend for ten million trader''s tokens." ***** Support the author''s new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero'' for Spirity. Chapter 1499 Five Human Emperors Chapter 1499 Five Human Emperors¡¡¡¡"10 million trader''s token''s once¡­twice¡­thrice." The beautiful elf announced thetest bid three times before finalizing it as the final bit. "The Golden Emperor Skin Pills goes to Nightmare Fiend for ten million trader''s tokens." Soon, another beautiful elf walked onto the stage and took the ss bottle with three Golden Emperor Skin Pills, and quietly left toplete the transaction. The Nightmare Fiend who got the item was also inside one of the special chambers. Therefore, no one was able to tell the identity of the bidder. Whether it was really a Nightmare Fiend or just some cultivator using that trader''s id, except for the auction house''s staff, no one knows. Nightmare Fiends belong to a special race that was once ss higher than the Golden Demons. Because of their abilities to create nightmares and take pleasure from those who suffer in their nightmares, they were called Nightmare Fiends. There were stories that a powerful Nightmare Fiend could turn a nightmare into reality. As for how powerful a Nightmare Fiend should be, no one knows. ''Overall, it is one of many mysterious races in this vast universe.'' Ajax didn''t know how he knew about the Nightmare Fiends'' race but he was able to pull all the information as though it was stored in his head. ''Is this knowledge from the system? Or Father?'' "The second item of the auction is a Legend grade Sword Technique." Before Ajax could think about it, the beautiful elf took out the second item for the auction which was the sword technique. "Its name is Moon Emperor''s sh with the chance of evolving into a Mythical grade sword technique ''Moon God''s sh''. As long as one learns the ''Moon God''s sh,'' they would be invincible below the Immortal Realm." The beautiful elf gave a brief introduction about the item and the entire auction hall became excited. Even though everyone in the hall was a powerful Emperor realm cultivator or King realm cultivator from the rich families, a Mythical grade sword technique was still a rare item for them. Some of the cultivators or their families already have one or two mythical grade cultivation techniques; however, adding another one to the list was not a bad thing because with a mythical grade sword technique they could literally kill anyone below the Immortal realm. ''A Legend grade Sword Technique that was capable of evolving into a Mythical Grade Sword Technique? Immortal realm? So, the realm after the emperor realm is Immortal realm?'' Ajax was shocked; however, he was excited to learn about the new realm. ''Immortal realm? Does that mean the cultivators could leave forever after reaching the immortal realm?'' Ajax was curious about it; however, his ''Answering Machine'' was still under upgrade. So, he could hold in his curiosity and focus on the auction. "I won''t give any more information on the item because I guess I have already given enough information." The beautiful elf took out a golden scroll and ced it on the stand before announcing the starting price, "10 million trader''s tokens with one million increments for each bid." "I, the Fire Emperor of the Greater Fire World, bids 15 million trader''s tokens." As soon as the beautiful elf finished her words, a middle-aged man in fiery red robes announced his title before bidding for the sword technique. ''What? Starting price of 10 million? And this human cultivator increased by 5 five million?'' Ajax felt poor again and he muttered, ''My auction item is number five. I have to endure this ''Poor'' feeling for another three items.'' Even though Ajax knew his smaller world core would fetch some good trader''s token, he didn''t want to bid before that. If he was overbid and could not pay the money, ording to the rules, he would lose one of his limbs. So, he didn''t want to bid until he knew exactly how much he would get for his smaller world core. "I, the Water Emperor of the Greater Water World, bids 16 million trader''s tokens." Next, another middle-aged man in dark blue coloured robes followed the Fire Emperor''s actions and raised the bid by one million. ''Looks like they are from the Greater Human Worlds.'' Since they were humans, Ajax concluded that they were the bigshots from the powerful Greater human worlds. "The two human emperors werepeting for the Mythical grade sword technique. What about you two? You also awakened the sword heart and this sword technique would increase your battle prowess by multiple folds." "Even though they have lived for thousands of years, they are just 10 ten-year-old kids that forget it was just a Legend-grade sword technique right now." "If they could upgrade that moon emperor''s sh into moon god''s sh, I don''t think they are buying it at a very low price; however, do you think upgrading a legend grade technique into mythical grade technique was that easy? Let them dream on." On the side, three humans wearing different coloured robes mocked the fire emperor and the water emperor for forgetting something. ''That''s right!'' ''Thank god! I was about to bid for a 20 million trader''s token if not for the Wind and Earth Emperor.'' ''Yeah. I wonder why these five emperors hate each other so much?'' ''You don''t know? All their worlds are connected by a mysterious ind filled with treasure. Once in a while, they have to send one young cultivator from their worlds and the winner would gain ess to that ind and take all the treasures inside it.'' ''Because of that, they have a very hard time getting along with one another as they secretly hope the other four worlds to get destroyed.'' ''Oh. So that''s why they mock each other openly.'' A few participants who just wanted to witness the items and broaden their horizons discussed among themselves the reason why they hate each other. "Five human emperors but why do they hate each other?" However, Ajax was unable to hear those words as they were discussing silently, fearing they would be the target of the five human emperors. Chapter 1500 Auctioning the World Core Chapter 1500 Auctioning the World Core¡¡¡¡After the discussion of the Earth and Wind Emperor of the Greater Earth World and Greater Wind World, no one dared to bid any longer. Because upgrading or evolving a legend grade technique into a Mythical grade technique was very hard. Unless the cultivator had luck along with goodprehension speed, it was almost impossible to upgrade the Moon Emperor''s sh into Moon God''s sh. Moreover, the price of the sword technique was already double the price of a good legend-grade sword technique. So, no one wanted to spend more on such an item when there were still a lot of items left in the auction. ''Damn this b*stard.'' The beautiful elf looked at the azure-robed and khaki-robed middle-aged men and cursed them. "It looks like no one wants to continue the bidding for this time." Nevertheless, as the host of the auction, it was her duty to always maintain a smile on her face. So, she continued, "The Moon Emperor''s sh goes to the Water Emperor at a price of 16 million trader tokens." Soon, the second elf walked onto the stage and took the golden scroll before leaving the stage to finish the transaction. "The third item is a Bestial soul crystal belonging to a Titan Whale Emperor." Soon, the beautiful elf introduced the third item of the auction; however, other than the name of the item, she didn''t give any information. "What? Bestial Soul Crystal of the Emperor realm spirit beast?" With each item in the auction house, Ajax was getting excited and surprised even though he was already prepared to see such items. Just like the first two items, Ajax didn''t dare to bid as he waited for the fifth item, the smaller world core. Finally, the item was sold for 12 million trader tokens which were bid by a Spirit Beast Emperor with a water attribute. Fourth item of the auction: Blood Vampire''s special blood pill (Master and ve pills). Thepetition for that item was crazy and finally, it was bought by the Astral Demon Emperor at a price of 16 million trader tokens. ''Even though the fourth item is useful, I would have not bought it even if I had the money.'' Ajax was not interested in such items because, with the help of the system, he could leave his sprint imprint on anyone without any problem. ''The additional effect of those pills is it connects the cultivation of both the master and the ve, reducing their cultivation time by a lot.'' If a cultivator with excellentprehension speed makes another cultivator with the sameprehension speed swallow that servant pill, then he would be a ve. After their sessful connection, since theirprehension speed and the cultivation speed was excellent, they would get double returns at half effort. ''Anyway, all I needed were world cores to improve my cultivation. As for the cultivator''sws and souls, I have to make use of the special cultivation chamber in my battle tower.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax waited for the beautiful elf to take out the fifth item that he was waiting for the entire time. "Since we reached one-fourth of the auction, it is time for a special item." The beautiful elf took out a small shining orb from her space ring. ''What? A world core?'' ''I didn''t expect there to be a world core. Looks like I am lucky today.'' ''What luck? Do you think you canpete with those monsters?'' ''I thought the world-conquering sect is staying low-key these days. It looks like they are back to business again.'' ''Yes. I think from now onwards, we can expect to see more and more world cores in the future.'' The elf didn''t have to give an introduction to that item because everyone who participated in today''s auction knew what the beautiful elf was holding in her hands. The entire auction house became excited and they were waiting for the elf to announce the starting price for the world core. As for the world-conquering sect, it was the only force in the trader''s realm that had the ability to retrieve the world cores from the world. So, when they saw the auction item was a world core, everyone thought that the owner of the world core was the word conquering sect. "The starting price of this smaller world core is one million trader tokens." Among the items that were auctioned until now, this smaller world core has the lowest starting price simr to the Golden Emperor Skin Pills. ''Even though the starting price is low, judging from their excited expression, I think it will easily cross the ten million range.'' The more excited the participants of the auction house were, the more excited Ajax became. "Fire emperor - 2 million." "Water emperor - 3 million." "Wind emperor - 4 million." . . . "Blood Vampire King- 10 million." Within no time, the price of the smaller world core reached 10 million, making Ajax excited as he muttered, ''Go on. Bid more.'' "Jade Dragonling - 15 million." ''What? A raise of 5 million?'' Suddenly, someone with the trader name ''Jade Dragonling'' raised the price of the world core by five million, making Ajax and the entire auction house shocked. "15 million is too much." "In the past, it was sold at only 10-12 million trader tokens. I will just wait for the world-conquering sect to pour more world cores in the uing auction." "Yes. The world core is overpriced after thest bid." However, after 15 million trader tokens, no one increased bid, thinking that the world core is overpriced and assumed that more and more world cores would be put on the auction by the world-conquering sect. "By the way, the auction item doesn''t belong to the world-conquering sect. So, don''t expect that you will find more and more world cores in theing auctions." Seeing that the price of the world core was not rising anymore, the beautiful elf revealed a slight smile and revealed some information regarding that world core. Chapter 1501 32 Million Trader Tokens Chapter 1501 32 Million Trader Tokens¡¡¡¡As the host of the auction, it was the beautiful elf''s duty to raise the bids to as high as possible. Of course, she would receive a good bonus on each item she manages to sell at an over-ranged price. With such conditions, the beautiful elf host would not mind slightly lying about the items, not to mention all she said for the smaller world core was the truth. "What?" "It was not from the World Conquering Sect?" "Then, who else has the ability to retrieve a world core from the core realm of a world?" As soon as they heard the beautiful elf''s words, the entire auction house was surprised and decided to buy it. If it was the world-conquering sect, ording to their pattern, they sell the world cores back to back; however, since there was a new seller, they didn''t have a clue whether he would sell more world cores or not. ''Fire emperor - 17 million trader tokens.'' ''Jade dragonling - 20 million trader tokens.'' ''Astral Demon Emperor - 21 million trader tokens.'' . . . ''Blood vampire king - 30 million trader tokens.'' After the beautiful elf''s words, there was a crazy bidding war for the smaller world core and within no time, the price had reached a whopping 30 million trader tokens. Of course, it was bought by a special buyer sitting in a special chamber. ''Blood Vampire King? When he bid 30 million trader tokens, he sounded as though it was only spare change. Sigh¡­the world of the rich ispletely different.'' Ajax was excited at the fact that he was getting 30 million trader tokens; however, when he realized he was poor in front of those bigshots. ''Why am I sighing? As long as I sell the world cores, I will be rich like them in no time.'' The thing Ajax had with him was time. Even if his cultivation didn''t progress anymore, he could easily live for thousands of years as long as he was careful. So, it was not an impossible task for Ajax to be the richest cultivator in the universe. "The small world core is bought by the Blood Vampire King for 30 million trader tokens." Compared to Ajax, the beautiful elf was over the moon because she was able to sell the smaller world core at three times more than its average price. Therefore, hermission from the smaller world core made her greatly excited as she proceeded to the next items of the auction. "I wonder how many trading tokens I will get from the 10 legendary grade weapons and artifacts." Ajax had registered two items for today''s auction. One was the smaller world core and the other one was a set of legend-grade weapons and artifacts refined by his Grey Dwarves. "Item six is a set of legend-grade artifacts and weapons. Even though they are the lowest grade among the legend-grade, there were a total of 10 of them." Soon, the beautiful elf announced the six items of the auction along with a starting price of one million. "Metal Emperor - two million trader''s token." Compared to the previous items, this was the lowest grade item. So, no one except for the metal emperor bid for the set of legend-grade artifacts and weapons. "The set of legend-grade artifacts and weapons were sold to the Metal Emperor of the Greater Metal world (Human world)." The beautiful elf didn''t bother to increase the price of the six items as two million was already out of range. ''Master allowed this set of low-level legend-grade items just for the sake of Metal Emperor anyway.'' She already knew that other than the Metal Emperor, no one would buy those low-level items. That''s right! In the eyes of the participants of the auction house, the low-level legend-grade items were nothing. ''As for the metal emperor, he was a crazy cultivator who had a thing for weapons.'' No one truly knows the exact reason behind why the Metal Emperor collects the weapons like crazy and is not bothered to learn about it. Instead, they tried to make use of the metal emperor to sell all their broken and used weapons at a discount. [Seventh item - High-level bestial king''s egg. Bought by Jade Dragonling at a price of five million trader tokens.] [Eighth item - Cultivator''s soul crystal (King realm). Bought by Ajax at a price of two million trader tokens.] Soon, two more items were auctioned off and luckily Ajax was able to buy one of them at a very cheap price. Since most of the cultivators who were participating in the auction had a cultivation of Emperor realm, they were no longer interested in a King realm cultivator''s soul. An Emperor realm cultivator, if he was lucky, could directly awaken an Emperor realm cultivator''s soul. So, why would it bother to spend money on a King realm cultivator''s soul and increase its level from 1 to 10 before upgrading into an Emperor realm cultivator''s soul? It was a long and tedious process for them. Instead, they preferred to spend their resources on awakening the Emperor''s realm cultivator''s soul. ''Even though the spirit beast''s egg is also good judging from its race, I already have so many to take care of and if I have to spend my money to add another spirit beast to my army, then I don''t want it.'' He didn''t bid for the seventh item and only bid for the eighth item. The beautiful elf didn''t wait for anyone as she continued to auction the item and sessfully sold the ninth item, a consumable fruit for 10 million trader tokens. Even though Ajax liked it, he felt spending more than 10 million trader tokens on the ninth item would be too much. ''If I am lucky, I might find it in the future. Moreover, I already have many trump cards that could temporarily increase my battle prowess. So, I don''t want to spend so much on it.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax waited for the next item, which made him pleasantly surprised. ''Will I be able to win the bidding war?'' However, in the next second, he was worried about it. Chapter 1502 Jade Dragonling Chapter 1502 Jade Dragonling¡¡¡¡The tenth item was a useful item for Ajax; however, Ajax felt it was a little hard to outbid others. "The tenth item of the auction is a special set of items: Sacred Stones, Astral Stones, and World Stores. There are three stones in each set. So, overall, nine stones and the starting price of this item is one million." That''s right! It was a set of items that Ajax could use in different ways. From Sacred Stones, a cultivator could absorb the Sacred Energy where Astral Energy could be absorbed from the Astral Stone. Ajax could merge them and make Sacred Astral Energy which could increase his Sacred Astral Healer''s rank. As for the world stones, world energy could be absorbed which could be used to upgrade the world cores, the world tree, and Siora''s cultivation. For some reason, he was unable to upgrade his cultivation with world energy even though the world core has the same energy stored inside it. "10 million trader tokens." The participant with an id ''Jade Dragonling'' directly raised the bid to 10 million trader tokens, making the other participants not bid for it anymore. "Jade Dragonling is bidding 10 million trader tokens for the tenth item." The beautiful elf was excited as she didn''t expect the price to double what she expected. Therefore, she didn''t bother to increase the price. "10 million¡­once¡­twice¡­" "11 million trader''s tokens." However, just when the beautiful elf was about to give the final call, Ajax raised the price. ''Why no one is willing to bid for these stones?'' Initially, Ajax thought it would be hard to get his hands on such invaluable items; however, after thinking for a moment he realized something. ''That''s right! They are valuable to me; however, it doesn''t mean those stones were valuable in the eyes of others.'' When he realized this, Ajax felt hopeful again and decided to bid for the items. Even though Sacred Stones, Astral Stones, and World Stones were rare, not everyone would use them to increase their cultivation. Sacred Stones and Astral Stones were mostly used by the Sacred Healers, who heal physical injuries, and Astral Healers, who heal soul injuries. In this universe, there were only a few Sacred Healers and as for the Astral Healers, they were even fewer. As for world energy, only a few cultivators like Siora and other special beings would dare to use world energy to increase their cultivation. "We have a participant willing to pay 11 million trader tokens." The beautiful elf was already excited about the previous price and when she heard Ajax raise the price by another million, she became even more excited as her cheerful voice resounded in the entire hall. "Huh?" Inside one of the special chambers, a 15-year-old cultivator that looked like a jade dragonkin frowned when he heard someone bid against him. "Can you find the identity of that cultivator from that special chamber?" In the next second, he asked the old man standing beside him. "Young master, did you forget what master has said? Don''t mess with the owner of the trader''s realm. ording to the rules, it is a punishable crime even if we try to find out the identity of someone who has a ck-coloured auction pass." The old humanoid dragon replied calmly as his wordscked respect. "Fine. How many trader tokens can I still spend?" Shaking his head in disappointment, the young dragonkin asked the old dragon. "You can raise the price to 15 million trader tokens¡­." "Then what are you waiting for? Raise it." Before the old dragon could finish his words, the Jade Dragonling ordered him to raise the price. "Jade Dragonling bids 15 million trader tokens." Soon, the old dragon''s voice resounded out of the special chamber, making all the participants of the auction sitting in the normal seats shocked. "Our handsome Dragonling seems adamant about getting this set of stones at any cost." The beautiful elf was excited as she praised the jade dragonling, making the young dragonling in the special chamber''s face turn red from shyness. "What about our other special participant? Is he willing to raise the price again?" Everyone''s eyes were looking at Ajax''s special chamber waiting to see whether he would raise the bid again or not. ''15 million? It looks like the other party also needs the items.'' Ajax frowned because he had only onepetitor who was raising the price by big amounts like crazy. ''Only if I know how many units of energy those stones contain, I can tell whether I am paying the right price or high price.'' Ajax could not ask the system because of the upgrade and could ask the beautiful elf because the moment he asked that question, he would be a country bumpkin in everyone''s eyes. If there are only a few units of energy in each stone, Ajax should just give up and find other sources of collecting those energies. ''Son, they look like low-level stones.'' Just as Ajax was thinking about whether he should bid or not, he heard a familiar old voice in his head. ''Father.'' That''s right! It was his father who woke up from slumber ''Each low-level stone contains 100 units of the respective energy. I think you should bid for it.'' As soon as he said those words, Vaugh went back to his slumber. Even though he was in a deep slumber, he was always watching his son and came to help him in difficult situations. ''What?'' Ajax was surprised because 100 units of energy in each stone was a little too much. ''From a smaller world core, the draconic turtle refined 100 units of world energy and I sold a single smaller world core at 30 million trader tokens whereas there were three world stones each with 100 units of the world energy along with the three sacred stones and astral stones.'' After hearing his father''s words, Ajax got to know what he had to do now. "16 million trader tokens." Without any hesitation, he raised the bid by a million, shocking the crowd yet again. Chapter 1503 Succesful Bid for the Second Item Chapter 1503 Sesful Bid for the Second Item¡¡¡¡"The tenth item has been sessfully won by the ''Harbinger of Destruction''." The beautiful elf announced the name of the bidder who won the set of world stones, sacred stones, and astral stones. As for the Harbinger of Destruction, it was none other than Ajax''s virtual name in the Trader''s realm. After Ajax raised the bid by one million, the price of the tenth item reached 16 million trader tokens. ording to his servant, the bidder with the id ''Jade Dragonling'' should not bid more than 15 million trader tokens. "Why should I not spend more than 15 million trader tokens when I have bought 50 million trader tokens?" Jade Dragonling was angry at his servant for now allowing him to raise the bid even though they have enough funds on them. "Young master, in theing auctions, you can find more of such stones at less than 15 million trader tokens easily. So, it is a waste of money to spend more than 15 million." The old dragon was calm as he exined the reason why he didn''t allow the young dragon to not bid more than 15 million. "What?" The Jade Dragonling was surprised for a second and asked, "So, are you telling me that the bidder ''Harbinger of Destruction'' is paying more than the market value?" "Yes, young master." The old dragon nodded his head and continued, "Moreover, if the young master travels the subsidiary worlds under the Master, you could easily find one or two of such stones easily." "Leave it. I am toozy to travel to those subsidary worlds." The Jade Dragonling shook his head and asked, "Anyway, are you sure that the final item of the auction is a Mythical grade weapon refined by Aron Alpineswift?" "ording to the information, yes." The old dragon nodded his head and said, "So, it is better for the young master to not waste the funds on the low-level items and save them for that final item since thepetition for that item would be crazy." "Of course, it will be. That fallen genius had created waves in the entire universe and the weapons that were refined and used by him would be a great treasure in everyone''s eyes." The reason why the Jade Dragonling came to today''s auction was because of that time. Otherwise, because of hisziness, there was no way he would enter the trader''s realm. ¡­ ''Phew¡­I thought I would be spending everything I got from selling the smaller world core. Looks like my luck is good that the other bidder gave up the moment I raised the bid.'' On the other hand, Ajax was heaving a sigh of relief for sessfully getting a set of valuable items at such a low price. A single world core was sold for 30 million trading tokens and from one core, at most, only 100 units of world energy could be refined. Whereas he got three world stones each with 100 units of world energy at nearly half the price of a single smaller world core.'' ''As for three sacred stones and the three astral stones, they were just a bonus.'' Ajax didn''t care about uing items in the auction because he knew that if there was really valuable time, it would be impossible to outbid the richest cultivators in the auction house. So, he could only settle for the items that were valuable in his eyes but useless in the eyes of those richest cultivators. "The eleventh item of the auction is¡­" Soon, the beautiful elf continued to auction the next items as usual as Ajax was waiting for the set of stones that would be sent to him soon. ''Knock'' ''Looks like the stones are here.'' After waiting for a few minutes, Ajax heard a knock on his door and soon a beautiful elf brought a tray with ten stones on it. "Sir Harbinger of Destruction, these are the stones you bought." That beautiful elf gave the tray to Ajax and exined, "Respected Sir, your items were sold to 32 million trader tokens. After the deduction of 10 percentmission of the auction house, the cultivator''s soul stone and the stones'' price, there will still be 10.8 million trader tokens left." "They will be transferred to the respected sir at the end of the auction." As soon as she finished her words, the beautiful elf waited for Ajax''s permission to leave. "You can leave now." Even the beautiful elf was beautiful, she was nothing in front of his fiancee Siora and in front of the treasures, he was not interested in the elf. "Please enjoy the auction until then and happy bidding." The beautiful elf left Ajax''s special chamber with a slight smile and heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the chamber. ''I survived thest day at this auction house. Since I made thest delivery, I can finally leave this auction house and live in a good elf world.'' The elf was excited about her future and thought, ''I need to gather some information about the elf worlds in the trader''s realm before leaving.'' Soon, she informed the one who was in charge and left the auction house with an excited smile. ¡­. Inside Ajax''s special chamber, After the elf left, Ajax picked a green coloured stone and observed it closely. ''It has a unique design and just holding the stone makes me calm and rxed.'' Ajax was not exaggerating the effects of holding the world stone as he enjoyed the feeling. ''Ding, The system detected a low-level world stone. Do you want to refine it? As Ajax was enjoying the calm feeling, Ajax heard a system notification, making him reveal a slight smile. ''Even though the system is currently under maintenance, it is still providing me with the default system notifications. The system is really thoughtful.'' Ajax praised the system as he nodded his head. ''Ding, 100 units of the world energy are added to the host''s world space. ''Simple. Let''s absorb the energies from all the stones.'' Chapter 1504 New Cultivators Soul Chapter 1504 New Cultivator''s Soul¡¡¡¡''Simple. Let''s absorb the energies from all the stones.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started to absorb the 100 units of respective energy from the respective stones. ''Ding, 200 units of World Energy are added to the host''s world Space. ''Ding, 300 units of Sacred Energy are added to the host''s Sacred Space. ''Ding, 300 units of Astral Energy are added to the host''s Astral Space. ''Ding, Merging the 300 units of both Sacred Energy and Astral Energy into 300 units of Sacred Astral Energy. ''Ding, Sacred Astral Space: 500 units / 1000 units. Note: The host became a level 3 Sacred Astral Healer when the sacred astral space reached a capacity of 2000 units. Soon, Ajax absorbed the energy from the nine stones on the tray as the system notifications continued to ring in his head. ''I just need another 500 units of Sacred Astral Energy to be a level 3 Sacred Astral Healer.'' When ites to Sacred Astral Space, whenever he uses the sacred astral energy, the capacity of the space increases by the same number of units. Since he already has 500 units, Ajax needs to umte another 500 units. After spending a total of 1000 units of the Sacred Astral Energy, he could be a level 3 Sacred Astral Healer. ''ording to the legend, a high-level Sacred Astral Healer could even regenerate a physical body and a soul from a single piece of blood. After sessfully regenerating a body and soul, reviving is not an impossible task anymore.'' Ajax''s goal was to be a high-level Sacred Astral Healer and help his parents in regenerating their physical bodies and souls as soon as possible. ''Since finding the nt essence seems a little difficult, it is not a bad thing to increase my Sacred Astral Healer rank.'' Currently, Ajax didn''t have a problem with finding Astral Energy; however, the sacred energy seemed a little hard to find. However,pared to the nt essence to nurture the soul-nurturing tree, finding the source of the sacred energy seemed easy for him. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he was giving up on finding the nt essence. ''It is better to have multiple ns while finishing a task.'' This was what Ajax thought as he looked at thest remaining stone on the tray brought by the beautiful elf. ''Let''s see what type of cultivator''s soul is stored in this stone.'' It was the first item that Ajax bought in this auction at a price of two million trader tokens and he was curious about the cultivator''s soul inside. ''Ding, The system detected a King realm cultivator''s soul stone. Do you want to use it? However, he was unable to see the cultivator''s soul stored inside the stone; instead, the system asked him whether he wanted to use it. ''Yes.'' Ajax decided to have a new cultivator''s soul as it would be useful in his future fights. With the help of this stone, Ajax could skip the part where he had to cultivate from level 1 cultivator''sw. Instead, he could directly awaken a level 1 king''s realm cultivator''s soul and continue cultivating it. Therefore, without any hesitation, he decided to learn about the cultivator''s soul stored inside it. ''Ding, Awakening a new king''s realm cultivator''s soul in the host''s body. Please endure the pain during the process if there is any. He received a warning from the system and soon Ajax felt a slight smile in his mind sea as a new crystal started condensing in the endless space. Currently, there was a red crystal (Fire Devour Soul), a purple crystal (Heavenly Lightning Soul), two dim ck crystals (Void of theherw), and (Orb of Deathw). As for the new cultivator''s soul, it was grey in colour . ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully learning the third cultivator''s soul. Please check the full details about the new cultivator''s soul in the user interface. After a few minutes, Ajax received a system notification regarding thepletion of the awakening process. ''Phew¡­finally, it''s over.'' Ajax didn''t feel much pain; however, he felt irritated with that slight pain and once he finished the awakening process, he heaved a sigh of relief because his irritation also disappeared. ''Let''s see which item is being auctioned right now.'' However, Ajax didn''t check the information about his new cultivator''s soul; instead, he wanted to see the item. "The 14th item of the auction is¡­" "14th item already? I don''t need it." After checking out the 14th item, Ajax was not interested in it. So, he checked his new cultivator''s soul. ''Ding, Cultivator''s soul: Vision of Poison (level 1). Effect: 1) Can slowly release poison inrge quantities that were absorbed into the cultivator''s soul. 2) Immune to all the poison below Mythical level (Passive). Number of poisons absorbed: 0 Note: 1) Once the poison is collected, the cultivator can release it inrge quantities by spending the respective units of the essence of nature. 2) Different poisons have different effects. The cultivator can release the poison he wanted in that particr situation with a simple thought. Soon, a holographic screen filled withplete information about the new cultivator''s soul appeared in front of Ajax''s eyes. ''A poison type cultivator''s soul?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised as he was not expecting a poison type. Awakening a poison-type cultivator''sw was already a rare thing and he was awakening a poison-type cultivator''s soul. Of course, Ajax would be excited about it. ''Moreover, I am not only immune to all the poisons but I can also absorb the poison I encounter and use them as my own poison.'' Thinking of all the benefits of his new cultivator''s soul, Ajax was over the moon. ''Huh? It is still here?'' Suddenly, Ajax realized that the cultivator''s soul stone was still in his head, giving him another surprise. Whenever he uses a cultivator''sw stone, it mostly disappears unless he was a high-level stone-like level 10, 9, 8¡­, or even level 2. This means he could use that stone to cultivate thew or soul gained from that stone. ''Excellent. I can enter the special cultivation chamber in the battle tower after leaving the trader''s realm today.'' Chapter 1505 Meeting Breakthrough Condition Again? Chapter 1505 Meeting Breakthrough Condition Again?¡¡¡¡In the battle tower''s special cultivation chamber, the time moves faster. One day in the real world is equivalent to 10 days inside the cultivation chamber. So, Ajax''s first thought after seeing the cultivator''s soul stone in his head was to enter the cultivation chamber to cultivate his new cultivator''s soul. ''However, before that, I have to wait until the auction is finished.'' Ajax didn''t forget the reason why he participated in today''s auction. It was to upgrade his trader''s rank and since he bought two items and sold two items, Ajax would have no problem bing a level 2 trader. Nevertheless, he still has 10 million trader tokens left. So, he was hoping to buy an item if possible. With that thought in his mind, Ajax settled in his chair and saw the bidding process for the 14th auction item. ''There are still six more items left. I hope I can find a good and cheap treasure.'' ording to the information given to the special participants, in today''s auction, there would be a total of 20 items. So, Ajax was curious about the final six items. ''Ding, The host has met the requirements to break through to the high-level king realm cultivation. ''Ding, Please use a world core toplete the breakthrough. Note: Use a Greater world core to gain the highest battle prowess. Just as he sat in his chair, Ajax received a few system notifications in his head giving him a pleasant surprise. ''What? I meet the requirements to break through to the next minor realm already?'' Ajax was obviously happy and wondered, ''The breakthroughs in the king realm are much easier than the breakthroughs in the previous major realms.'' Ajax chuckled as he checked the requirements that he had met for the breakthrough. ''Ding, 1) Three cultivator''s souls of at least level 1 or above. 2) A world core. ''So, as long as I have an extra king realm cultivator''s soul, I can break through to the next realm?'' Ajax felt the breakthrough conditions were very easy and thought, ''Anyway, I don''t have any greater world core with me. I still need three more normal world cores to condense a Greater world core.'' Since Ajax had a breakthrough just a few days back, he was not in a hurry to break through again. ''I wonder what will be the breakthrough conditions into the Emperor''s realm.'' Seeing how easy it was for him to break through in the minor realms of the King realm, Ajax was curious about the major breakthrough to the next realm. However, the thing is, Ajax was lucky enough to gain enlightenment while having a breakthrough into the King realm. Because of that enlightenment, Ajaxprehended the second cultivator''s soul and now, he learned about another cultivator''s soul from the soul stone. As for the world cores, even before he broke through to the king realm, it was a piece of cake for him and after the breakthrough, retrieving a world core from the smaller world cores was nothing hard in his eyes. ''I should start working on conquering the normal world cores soon.'' Ajax needs a greater world core to break through to the high-level king realm. After that, he would be needing more and more world cores. So, relying only on the smaller world cores would take a long time for Ajax to break through in his future cultivations. ''Let''s start the normal world-conquering after sorting a few things after the auction.'' There were a few things that Ajax was dying, like cultivating his cultivator''s souls and cultivator''sw, meeting his master Mostror and asking about the bloodline awakening potion and checking on Westin and his other followers. ''By now, Westin must have condensed his cultivation and the special demonic energy.'' Ajax''s strongest follower Westin had entered seclusion saying that he felt like he could break through. Ajax had never forced any of his followers to do something; instead, he encouraged them to break through to a high cultivation realm in their cultivation. The more powerful they are, the stronger he would be. ''Anyway, for now, let''s focus on the auction.'' Soon, Ajax pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the auction. "The 15th item of today''s auction is the pure nt essence collected from the Greater Elf world. Just a single drop would turn your entire world green." Soon, the beautiful elf took out a small ss bottle filled with green-coloured liquid. ''What? nt essence?'' Ajax wanted to upgrade his trader''s rank to gain ess to the mid-level trader''s level because he wanted to know about the nt essence. However, there was a nt essence right in front of his eyes, making him excited. ''There should be at least 100 drops in that small bottle.'' Ajax''s eyes burned with determination as he wanted to win that item at any cost. "You know how rare this nt essence is. Even in the greater elf worlds, it is very hard to find. Moreover, the greater elf worlds already nurture World trees and lesser world trees in their worlds. It was very rare for them to sell the nt essence." The beautiful elf continued to give the information about the nt essence and tried her best to increase the value of the nt essence. "As the powerful cultivators, some of you must have at least a smaller world under you. There are a few cultivators like five human emperors who each own a greater human world, Astral Demon Emperor, who owns a Greater Astral Demon world along with hundreds of normal worlds and thousands of smaller worlds." "If you have these 100 units of nt essence, your entire world bes a treasure trove for rare nts and trees." As the host of the auction house in the trader''s realm, the beautiful elf needed to have good information on the participants. So, she used that information to raise the value of the nt essence. "What is the starting price? Tell us already?" One of the participants urged the beautiful elf to announce the initial price. "The owner of this item doesn''t want the trader tokens, they want to trade it with an equivalent item." ''What?'' Chapter 1506 Vampire Emperors Blood and Jade Pool Chapter 1506 Vampire Emperor''s Blood and Jade Pool¡¡¡¡"The owner of this item doesn''t want the trader tokens, they want to trade it with an equivalent item." The beautiful elf revealed a slight smile on her face and said, "You can start bidding what you can give in exchange for this nt essence. If the owner likes what you are offering, she will trade the nt essence for your item." ''What?'' The beautiful elf''s words caused those who were nning to buy the nt essence to be anxious. They were anxious not because they didn''t have the items with equivalent value as that of nt essence; instead, they were worried that the owner of the nt essence might not like their item. The auction house never forced the seller to sell their items only in trader tokens because when the buyer trades their items, they would give 15 percentmission instead of 10 percent. So, the owner of the auction was very much happy to let the seller trade the items in their own preferred method. "So, you can start what you are nning to trade the nt essence with." The beautiful elf urged them to start the bidding. "I am willing to give 1000 drops of Demonic Essence which is ten times the amount of the 100 drops of the nt essence." The Astral Demon Emperor was the first to bid for the nt essence with a huge amount of demon essence. Since he had so many demonic worlds under him, the astral demon emperor has a vast amount of demonic essence. So, he bid with 1000 drops of demonic essence in exchange for 100 drops of the nt essence. "10 drops of vampire emperor''s blood." In the next second, the blood vampire king, who was the wealthiest cultivator that Ajax had seen so far, raised a bid of 10 drops. ''Vampire emperor''s blood? What is that?'' Ajax had an idea about the demonic essence; however, he was curious about the usage of the vampire emperor''s blood. ''Ding, Item name: Vampire Emperor''s blood. Use: If an emperor realm cultivator, be it a low-level or mid-level or high-level, consumes a single drop of vampire Emperor''s blood mixed with the user''s blood, they would be the user''s ve for the rest of their life. ''What? An item that could help a cultivator to have a high-level emperor realm cultivators as his ves?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notification that appeared in front of his eyes and thought, ''Looks like he will be getting the nt essence for sure. As expected of the richest cultivator.'' In Ajax''s eyes, the Blood Vampire King had already got the nt essence and shook his head with bitter disappointment. "An entire pass of one day into the Jade pool of the Greater Jade Dragon World." The two bids had already shocked the entire auction hall, including Ajax and the third bid gave another shock to the participants. ''Ding, Item name: Jade Pool. Benefits: Soaking in the jade pool for a single day will give the following benefits. 1) Low-level emperor realm cultivation (All cultivator''sws will be upgraded to the emperor realm''s cultivator''s soul). 2) Emperor realm cultivator''s body. ''Is this the difference between a cultivator from the greater world and a cultivator from a normal world?'' Looking at the information provided by the system, Ajax was shocked at the benefits gained by soaking in the so-called Jade Pool for a single day. ''If soaking for a single day already gives such good benefits, what kind of benefits will it give if someone stays in a Jade Pool for a week or a month or an entire year? Will they break through to the realm after the emperor realm?'' Ajax''s head was filled with questions as he thought about entering the Jade Pool for himself in the future. "What about you, five human emperors? Are you not going to participate in the bidding?" The beautiful elf asked the five human emperors who were not showing any interest in participating in the bidding of the nt essence. "No. We will leave the nt essence to others. There should be some things for others to buy, right?" Generally, the five human emperors mock each other; however, this time, they were united as they said the same thing. ''Looks like they don''t have anything worthy to trade for the nt essence.'' Obviously, the beautiful elf could tell that the real reason why they were not bidding for the nt essence was that they didn''t have any worthy item topete with the other participants. If they bid with their valuable items right now, they would be theughing stock before the cultivators like Blood Vampire King, Astral Demon Emperor and Jade Dragonling were offering something that was much more valuable than the nt essence. "Is there anyone else who wants to bid for the nt essence?" Other than three, no one else bid for the nt essence for the same reason as the five human emperors. They didn''t want to embarrass themselves in front of everyone. So, they remained silent. ''Should I bid for the nt essence?'' Ajax was a little hesitant to bid for the nt essence as he had nothing valuable to bid for except for the world cores. However, he feared, the moment he bid with the world core, he would be famous. ''Even though the trader''s realm can''t reveal my information to the other cultivators, I would be a high-level cultivator overnight.'' Ajax was in a dilemma for a few moments before thinking, ''So, be it. I don''t know when I will find more nt essence, it is better to bid for it and not regret itter for not bidding for it.'' Even though Ajax was able to find his father''s soul, he was unable to have a proper conversation with him. After speaking for a few moments, his father would expend his energy and fall into a deep slumber. However, if he could nurture that soul-nourishing tree, his father''s soul would recover at an incredible speed. "I bid one normal world core for the nt essence." Chapter 1507 Gift from Blood Vampire King Chapter 1507 Gift from Blood Vampire King¡¡¡¡"I bid one normal world core for the nt essence." Ajax''s voice resounded in the auction hall which made the entire auction hall fall into silence. "What? A normal world core?" "Are my ears working fine? Did I stay in the water too long that I lost my hearing?" "A normal world core? I didn''t expect there was someone who could trade with normal world cores in this auction." "Right! I didn''t expect so many good things to appear in this low-level auction house." However, the silence didn''tst for long as everyone started discussing Ajax and his normal world core. ''I hope I can get my hands on the nt essence.'' As for Ajax, he was calm and hoped that he would get the nt essence at any cost. Initially, Ajax wanted to use a smaller world core to exchange for the nt essence; however, in front the items like ''Vampire Emperor''s blood'' and ''One-day ticket to Jade Pool'' make Ajax raise his bid item from the smaller world core to a normal world core. Moreover, currently, he only has a single smaller world core on him and he was sure that one smaller world core is not enough. In the end, he still has to use a normal world core to bid for the nt essence. So, he decided to directly bid with a normal world core from the start. "Our ''Harbinger of destruction'' is willing to give a normal world core. Anyone else wants to participate in the auction?" Even though the beautiful elf already knew that Ajax was the one who put the smaller world core in today''s auction, she was still surprised that he had a normal world core. Nevertheless, she suppressed her shock and asked for more bids. ''With the appearance of the four items, this auction house will be more famous and attract more and more cultivators from the entire universe.'' The earning of the auction house not onlyes from themissions of the auctioned items, but the entry tickets cost also was high and it was their main revenue stream. If more participants buy their entry tickets, the more revenue they could generate. "So, there is no longer anyone participating in the bidding for the nt essence." The beautiful elf waited for some time and seeing that there was no one raising any bids, she decided to end the bidding session for the nt essence. "The three respected bidders please wait for some time. Let me confirm which item she is willing to exchange for her nt essence." The beautiful elf closed her eyes andmunicated with someone. "Respected sir from the special chamber 7, can you add me to your friends'' list? In the future, if you have any world cores, you can directly contact me and I will buy them at a good price." "Sir, I am also in need of world cores. Even if it was a smaller world core, please sell it to me. I will give a reasonable price along with the valuable treasures from my greater world." "I am also interested in bing friends with¡­" As the beautiful elf wasmunicating with the seller of the nt essence, all the participants used this opportunity to be friends with Ajax. Who doesn''t want to be friends with a rich cultivator that has a supply of world cores that was only retrievable by a few powerful emperor realm cultivators? ''...'' Ajax was speechless when he saw so many emperor realm cultivators call him with faces full of respect and wanted to be friends with him. Even though Ajax had already expected such a day toe, he had never expected it woulde so soon. "Even though I can get my hands on world cores, I don''t have an endless supply. In fact, the supply of world cores is so low that I hardly get a smaller world core once a month." Coming back to his senses, Ajax indirectly rejected their requests as he continued, "To make it fair for all the cultivators, I will put a smaller world core in this auction house. Those who really need it, they could bid for it fair and square and buy it." No matter how rich those cultivators were, Ajax was not interested in bing friends with them. Instead, he had already decided to make deals with some of them who might have what he needed. His target was the cultivators sitting inside the special chambers of the auction houses. ''Since the world cores are a raremodity in the universe, they would be contacting me soon.'' When his smaller world core was auctioned earlier, Ajax could tell that the cultivators sitting inside the special chambers were crazy about the world cores. Since he revealed the second world core, they could guess that he had a supply of world cores and soon, they would contact him. ''Knock'' As Ajax was waiting for some response from the special participants, he heard someone knocking on the door to his special chamber. "Come in." Ajax gave permission as the door opened and a beautiful subus entered his chamber. She had revealing clothes and her assets seemed like they were about toe out. "Respected sir, my master Blood Vampire King has sent a gift to you and he was hoping to be friends with you." With a seducing smile on her face, that subus took out a red-coloured fruit that looked like a spirit apple; however, it was much bigger than the spirit apple. "Blood Vampire King?" Ajax was surprised when he heard that she was sent by the wealthiest cultivator in the auction house, the Blood Vampire King. Moreover, he had even sent a gift to Ajax, making Ajax excited. "I am honored that the Blood Vampire King wants to be friends with me. Thank him on my behalf and tell him, I will meet him after the auction." Ajax took the fruit from the subus'' hands and asked her to convey his thanks to the Blood Vampire King. "Yes, Sir." Soon, the subus left the chamber, leaving behind a scent that made Ajax''s heart race. ''Let''s see what this fruit is used for.'' Soon, he saw the information on the fruits and he was pleasantly surprised. ***** Chapter 1508 More Gifts Chapter 1508 More Gifts¡¡¡¡Even though Ajax was expecting that he would be contracted by the special cultivators, he didn''t expect that the Blood Vampire King would be the first one to make the move. Nevertheless, he controlled his excitement and said that he would meet the Blood Vampire King after the auction. After sending away the subus, Ajax checked the information on the red-coloured apple in his hands. ''Ding, Fruit name: Blood Apple. Item grade: Legend. Effects: 1) The consumer will awaken a new skill. 2) The consumer will awaken a new bloodline. More information: A fruit that is avable in bulk in the Greater Vampire Worlds. Limitations: 1) A Blood vampire can consume three Blood Apples. 2) A non-blood vampire can only consume one Blood Apple. Soon, the full information about the red-coloured fruit appeared in front of Ajax and after reading it, he was pleasantly surprised. ''Let''s not waste any time and consume it.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax eats the entire fruit within a few seconds. The Blood Apple turned into violent red-coloured energy that filled his entire body. ''Ding, The host consumed a Blood Apple. ''Ding, Awakening a new skill and a new bloodline. Please endure the pain if there is any. Soon, he received two system notifications in his head and a bear that was still bearable appeared in his body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully awakening a new skill Fire ze. ''Ding, The violent red-coloured energy inside the body is reacting with the energy from the Bloodline awakening potion residing in the host''s body. ''Ding, Please endure the pain as both energiesbined together to awaken the highest possible bloodline inside the host''s body. After a few seconds, Ajax received a series of system notifications. When Ajax saw the first system notification, he was surprised; however, when he read thest two system notifications, he was shocked to the core. ''What? So, the energy from the bloodline awakening potion was still inside my body?'' Until now, Ajax thought that he had failed to awaken a bloodline after using the bloodline awakening potion because his master said to drink it before bing a king realm cultivator. However, the system suggested that he could awaken an even more powerful bloodline if he drank after bing a king realm cultivator. Nevertheless, finally, Ajax was able to see that the energy from the Bloodline awakening potion was not wasted and it wasbined with the violet energy from the blood apple. ''Highest level of bloodline? What is it? Is it a Dragon-type bloodline? Titan bloodline or Vampire emperor bloodline?'' Ajax thought of all the powerful bloodlines he knew as he endured the pain that came from thebination of two energies inside his body. ''Aargh'' Time continued to pass and two minutes passed by in a sh. However, for Ajax, those two minutes felt like two millennia. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up and endured the pain. ''Why is the beautiful elf taking so long to finalize who won the bids for the nt essence?'' While enduring the pain, he even settled in his seat and looked at the beautiful elf who was stillmunicating with the seller of the nt essence. "The nt essence is won by none other than¡­.The Harbinger of the Destruction." As though she heard his words, the beautiful elf opened her eyes and announced the winner of the nt essence. "Excellent." Ajax became excited and forgot the pain inside his body. "Didn''t I tell you that the owner of the nt essence will take the normal world core?" "How did you guess that? The other two items were also invaluable treasures that were hard toe by." "Of course, the other two items are rare; however, did you take a guess of the identity of the owner of the nt essence?" "Who?" "I am very sure that the nt essence was put in the auction by an Elf Emperor or Empress from a Greater Elven World. As the Emperor or Empress, they might have a world tree for sure and to nurture a world tree, world cores are the best." "So, without a doubt, the owner of the nt essence would take a normal world core, instead of the blood drops or one-day ticket to the Jade Pool." "Oh. That''s right! The bigger the world tree, the greater the benefits it provides to the elves residing in that world. So, it is only logical for them to take the normal world corepared to other items." The participants discussed the identity of the owner of the nt essence and the reason why they picked the normal world core. ¡­. "Let''s continue with the next item." Someone took the nt essence away as the beautiful elf started bidding on the next item. ''Let''s see how much I can nurture the Soul-Nourishing Tree with the 100 units of the nt essence.'' Ajax had great hopes for the 100 units of the nt essence as he could wait to see the growth of his Soul-Nourishing Tree. ''Knock'' Soon, Ajax heard a knock on the door as he thought, ''Looks like they already sent the nt essence.'' "Come in." With that thought in mind, Ajax gave permission to enter the chamber. "My young master Jade Dragonling sent me here with a gift to show his sincerity in bing friends with this young son." However, who entered the special chamber was an old dragon man. "Oh. Jade Dragonling sent you?" In the trader''s realm, even if they were friends, no one revealed their real names. That''s the reason why the old dragon used ''Jade Dragonling'' instead of the real name of his young master. "My master Nightmare Fiend also wishes to be friends with young sir." "The Fire Emperor sent a gift to the fellow human and wishes to be friends with the young sir." "The Water Emperor¡­" . . . "The Metal Emperor¡­" Following the old dragon''s arrival, the servants of all the famous participants in the auctions entered his special chamber with gifts. And the reason for their visit was their masters wanted to be friends with Ajax. **** Chapter 1509 New Trump Cards Chapter 1509 New Trump Cards¡¡¡¡''What?'' Ajax was surprised to see that all the special participants of the auction house had sent their servants to his chamber. "Thank you everyone for the gifts. Inform your masters that let''s meet after the auction." Even though he had nothing important to do, Ajax wanted to maintain the aura of a cultivator from a powerful family. Of course, he didn''t forget to take all the gifts from those servants before sending them away. ''So many valuable things.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know what gifts they sent and how valuable they were, he was sure about one thing: They are all definitely good items. "Since I don''t have any interest in that current auction item, I will just check the gifts from the powerful cultivator." Ajax realized that his nt essence might arrive a littlete and he was not interested to bid in the auctioning item as it was too pricey for him. So, he decided to check the gifts from the powerful cultivators one by one. "Fire Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)" He picked the red-coloured stone he got from the Fire Emperor. "Water Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)" "Wind Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)" "Earth Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)" "Metal Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)" Soon, he picked the remaining coloured stones that he received from the other elemental human emperors which made him pleasantly surprised. ''Useful items for my elemental spirits.'' As long as a fire elemental spirit uses the Fire Elemental Soul Stone, he could learn an elemental soul. Since most of his elemental spirits had just broken through to the king realm, Ajax knew how to make good use of them. ''Using these elemental soul stones, five elemental spirits will get an upgrade in their battle prowess.'' Ajax chuckled as he looked at the five elemental human emperors sitting in the normal chairs. Even though they were the powerful emperors of the human race, they were not selling anything in the current auction. Therefore, they could only sit in the normal chairs instead of the special chambers. ''Looks like they are all-powerful summoners.'' Only powerful summoners could give away the elemental soul stones as gifts. Moreover, humans'' innate talent was bing summoners. Since the five humans were the emperors of the greater human worlds, then, without a doubt, they would be the powerful summoners. ''I can give these five elemental soul stones to the five elemental spirits after leaving the trader''s realm.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stored the five elemental soul stones in his inventory. "This orb is from the Nightmare Fiend." After storing the elemental soul stones, Ajax picked a ck coloured orb and remembered who sent it. ''Ding, Item name: Nightmare sealing orb. Item grade: Legend. Use: The user of the orb could seal anyone below high-level emperor realm cultivators inside the orb, giving them endless nightmares. Note: It can be used only thrice and each time, it can only seal a single cultivator. So, use the item wisely. Remaining uses: 3 At the same time, the information about the nightmare orb appeared in front of Ajax. ''What?'' After reading the use of the orb, Ajax was shocked and felt, ''It looks like I am getting more and more powerful trump cards.'' Previously, the highest trump card he had was the Emperor Beast Token that was given by his master. He could use the token one more time before it disappears. However, to his surprise, he received another item that was much more powerful than the Emperor Beast Token. Moreover, this new item had three uses left which could help him kill three mid-level emperor realm cultivators. ''Even though he is part of a demon race, he is magnanimous with his gift.'' Nightmare fiend was a special type of demon. Nevertheless, he gave such a good gift to Ajax, making Ajax a good impression on the Nightmare fiend. ''As for what kind of cultivator he was, I need to wait and see.'' Just because he got the good impression because of a gift doesn''t mean he would unconditionally help or trade with the Nightmare fiend. So, he decided to learn more about this Nightmare fiend before trading with him in the future. ''Even the Astral Demon Emperor is participating in this auction and sent a gift to me.'' How could he not know about the Astral Demon Emperor? From his two golden demon ves, Ajax learned about the existence of the five demon emperors and this Astral Demon Emperor was one of them who sent his armies to invade the Purple stone world to conquer it. Even though there might be some random cultivator using that name, Ajax doubted someone would do it. Moreover, that cultivator with the user name ''Astral Demon Emperor'' even raised a bid for the nt essence with 1000 units of the demon essence. Demon essence was something that was not avable to everyone in this universe. It was a privilege for the Demon Emperor, especially the five demon emperors of the demon cluster. ''I am thinking of a way to find these so-called demon emperors and who would have thought that one of them would request him to be his friend.'' Even though Ajax didn''t have any power to kill any of the five demon emperors, he wanted to learn more about them before making his move. Moreover, ording to Ajax''s guess, it would take around a year or so before he would be capable of killing high-level emperor realm cultivators without any problem. ''I wonder what he sent.'' Even though he didn''t like the Astral Demon Emperor, Ajax didn''t have any problem taking his gift and wondered what he sent. ''Huh? What is this? A talisman?'' Ajax opened the small box sent by the Astral Demon Emperor and saw a ck-coloured talisman with mysterious runes. ''Ding, Item name: Astral Realm''s ticket. Use: The host''s spirit consciousness form could enter a special astral realm created by the astral demon emperor to exchange the items between the worlds. Note: In the Astral Realm, both sides can''t enter one another as the aim of this Astral Realm was mainly for trading or meetings. ''Huh? Separate trading with the Astral Demon Emperor?'' Ajax was surprised with the item''s information and could not help but think of the items that the Astral Demon Emperor might have that could be useful for him. ''He excels in soul techniques. I wonder whether he could trade any soul techniques.'' Ajax thought about the soul techniques because they were very rare to find and Ajax wanted to try whether he could get them. ''I think I don''t have to meet him separately as I can use this to enter the Astral Realm and have a face-to-face talk with him.'' After thinking about it for a moment, Ajax stored the talisman in his inventory. ''Now, it is time for the final gift box that came from the Jade Dragonling.'' Earlier, Ajax heard that the Jade Dragonling bid a one-day pass to the Jade Pool for the nt essence. From this, he could tell how resourceful Jade Dragonling was and Ajax''s curiosity about that gift sent by him reached the next level. ''Huh? A jade stone?'' Open the golden-coloured box sent by the Jade Dragonling, Ajax saw a shining jade stone. ''Appraise'' Without wasting any time, he checked the information on the item. ''Ding, Item name: Attack stone (One-time usable item). Item: Legend. Use: By injecting a little bit of the essence of nature into the stone, the user can release the attack stored in the stone, Attack stored: Jade Dragon''s Emperor''s Dragon st. More information: After using the attack, the user can ask a powerful cultivator to store his powerful attack in the attack stone so that the user can use it when he is in danger. ''What? An attack stone?'' The visit to the auction house truly broadened his horizons as he got to know about new items and even received so many good items. ''Not only can I use this item in dangerous situations but I can also re-use the attack stone to store other attacks from the powerful cultivators.'' Ajax was truly satisfied with the gift from the Jade Dragonling as he couldn''t help but think about the powerful cultivators around him. Even if he used the Dragon st that was stored inside the attack stone, Ajax has a few powerful cultivators around him. Zanth, a half-human and a half-demon who has just entered the emperor realm; however, he had some unique techniques and skills which could help him in killing even mid-level emperor realm cultivators. Master Ren, another emperor realm cultivator who had yet to show his full battle prowess to Ajax. Elder Boron, was already a low-level emperor realm cultivator and was currently in seclusion. By the time hees out of his seclusion, he would be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator for sure. Queen Siora, his fiancee has the cultivation of a level 2 emperor realm but because of her unique cultivation, she could fight even high-level emperor realm cultivators. Thest but the most powerful cultivator that Ajax knew was none other than his master, The Bloodline Emperor Mostror. ''When ites to storing a powerful attack in the attack stone, I have so many powerful cultivators around me.'' Ajax felt that among the trump cards he currently had, he would be using this ''Attack stone'' more and more in the future because it could be recharged with powerful attacks again and again. "Everyone, pay attention to thest item of the auction." Soon, the beautiful elf''s voice became loud as she took out thest item of the auction. Chapter 1510 Fire Blaze, 500 Million Trader Tokens Chapter 1510 Fire ze, 500 Million Trader Tokens¡¡¡¡"Finally, thest item of the auction is here." Everyone was attracted by the beautiful elf''s words. Whether it was a low-level or mid-level or high-level auction house, the final item in any auction would be the best itempared to the previous items that appeared in the auction. Therefore, all the participants were excited about it. Even though 99 percent of these participants doesn''t bid for that item, they were excited to see the rare and valuable treasures to broaden their horizons. At the same time, to gain a rough understanding of how rich the cultivators were and try to increase their connections for future trades. ''Final item?'' In the special chamber number ''7'', Ajax stored the ''Attack stone'' he received from the Jade Dragonling in the inventory and focused on the final item of the auction. Even though his body was still in some pain, Ajax was able to endure it thanks to the distraction he got from the gifts sent by the powerful cultivators. ''By the end of this auction, I hope, I will awaken a powerful bloodline.'' Since the system said that he would be awakening a powerful bloodline because of the merging of the special bloodline potion and the Blood Apple, Ajax was excited about it. At the same time, he was curious about the final item of the auction. "The final item of the auction is a Mythical grade, Hammer." Seeing that everyone became silent and excitedly looking at her for the final item of the auction, the beautiful elf removed the cloth covering the final item of the auction. "It is true. The mythical grade Hammer is being auctioned here." "Is this really that weapon used by the fallen genius Aron?" "ording to the information I got, the final item of the auction is a weapon that was used by the fallen genius." As soon as the beautiful elf revealed the cloth from the huge golden colour hammer, the entire auction house fell into a discussion. Compared to the previous auctions, the number of participants for today''s auction was three times more and its full credit goes to a rumor that spread like wildfire in the entire Trader''s realm. ording to the rumor, the auction hall is auctioning off the weapon used by the fallen genius, Aaron. Even though they knew they could notpete for that weapon in front of the powerful cultivators, they wanted to see the weapon that crushed the heads of thousands of high-level demon emperors to death. "A mythical grade weapon?" Ajax didn''t know about the rumor and when he heard the hammer was a mythical grade weapon, he became excited and thought, ''Let''s try participating in the bid.'' He was not aiming to get the item; instead, he wanted to participate in the bid. So that he would be more popr in the Trader''s realm. The moment everyone realized that Ajax was the owner of the smaller world core, Ajax''s name ''Harbinger of the destruction'' had already be popr. So, Ajax decided to be even more famous. ''As long as I don''t reveal my true name in the Trader''s realm, no one would know me. So there is no need to remain low-level in the trader''s realm.'' Ajax had been low-key for his entire life and finally, he decided to be famous once for a change. Of course, he swore to be careful and not reveal his real identity to anyone. "Everyone here knows about Aron Alpineswift, right?" The beautiful elf started the information about the weapon before exining about Aaron Alphineswift. "The fallen genius is also known as a Weapons Master with weapons dao in more than 10 weapons and this mythical grade Hammer was one of his weapons." "It was not only forged by Sir Aaron himself but it also smashed the heads of thousands of the Emperor realm cultivators'' heads." The beautiful elf knew how to increase the value of any item as she added a few more things that werepletely false but no one could have realized that she was lying about those few things because everyone was focused on the weapon. "The starting price of this Mythical grade Hammer - Merciless Hammer is 10 million trader tokens. Each increment should be 10 million trader tokens or more." The beautiful elf finished the introduction of the weapon and waited for the participants to start bidding for it. "Jade Dragonling - 50 million trader tokens." The young dragon young master was the first to bid for the hammer; however, he raised it to 50 million trader tokens, eliminating almost everyone from bidding for it. "What? 50 million trader tokens in a single shot?" Ajax and all the cultivators in the auction house were shocked by the increment of 40 million trader tokens. "Our brave dragon young master has bid 50 million trader tokens." "Once¡­.twice¡­" "Blood Vampire King bids 70 million trader tokens." The beautiful elf was confident that the price would not stop at 50 million trader tokens. Therefore, she intentionally rushed things as though she was about to finalize the Mythical grade, Hammer, to the Jade Dragonling. "Nightmare Fiend bids 80 million trader tokens." "Astral Demon Emperor bids 100 million trader tokens." Everyone thought the Blood Vampire King''s bid of 70 million trader tokens was already huge; however, the two demons in the auction house raised the price of the weapon to 100 million trader tokens. ''1..100 million trader tokens. I think it is the first time for this low-level auction house to raise such an amount on a single item. ''Yeah. Looks like the beautiful elf is going to get very rich just from themission from selling this item.'' Everyone started talking about the crazy surge in the price of the mythical grade hammer. ''What the¡­. I didn''t even get a chance to bid and the price is already 100 million trader tokens?'' On the other hand, Ajax, who was nning to raise a bid one or two times for the final item to be famous, was shocked when he saw the fast the price of that item reached 100 million trader tokens. ''It looks like I should keep quiet and wait to see who is going to win the item.'' With a bitter smile on his face, Ajax decided to quietly watch the bidding for the final item. ''While they continue bidding, I will check my new skill.'' Earlier when he consumed the ''Blood Apple'', Ajax had awakened a skill and the bloodline was yet to be awakened. So, he thought of checking the information on his skill while watching the bidding for thest item. ''Ding, Skill Name: Fire ze. Effect: With a thought, the user will be covered in fiery mes that would temporarily increase his battle prowess by two times for 10 minutes. Special effect: During those 10 minutes, the host can shoot fireballs as long as he has enough essence of nature. ''Not bad.'' Looking at the information about the skill, Ajax nodded his head. Even though it didn''t have any heaven-defying effects, Ajax was satisfied with his new skill. The thing that made him satisfied was the special effect where he could summon unlimited fireballs as long as he had the unlimited essence of nature. "The Blood vampire King bids 250 million trader tokens." Finally, the beautiful elf shouted out loud when the price had stopped rising after reaching 250 million trader tokens. "Before continuing with the further bids, let me add some more information about the Merciless Hammer. ording to our appraiser, this hammer could not only be used for smashing the heads but it could also be used in weapon smithing." Even though the beautiful elf knew about this beforehand, she intentionally hid until the price of the item stopped raising. "As long as this hammer is used in the refinement of the weapons, the sess rate increases by 50 percent, and the chances of a special skill appearing on the refined weapon are quite high." After giving the important information about the weapon, the beautiful elf once again asked, "So, is there anyone who is willing to raise the price of the Hammer?" "300 million trader tokens." As soon as the beautiful elf''s words ended, the metal emperor gritted his teeth and raised the bid by 50 million trader tokens. ''What? Metal emperor, is that rich?'' ''I have never thought he is such a rich cultivator.'' ''This is my first time seeing him bid at such a high price.'' Generally, if an item crosses 10 million trader tokens, the metal emperor gives up on the item no matter how valuable it was. However, this time, he didn''t give up; instead, he raised the bid when the price was already at 250 million trader tokens, which shocked everyone. "500 million trader tokens. If anyone bids further, I will be no bidding anymore. So, go and bid for it." That was not the shock because the real shock was given by the blood vampire king who raised the bid by 200 million trader tokens. Moreover, he also informed others that he would no longer bid if anyone raises the bid, in order to keep away those who were trying to raise the item value even when they don''t have enough money to pay for it. "What? The Blood Vampire King is so cool." "No wonder, Vampires are one of the oldest races and the wealthiest races in this universe." Everyone was in awe of how easily the Blood Vampire King increased the bid of the item. ''As expected of the wealthiest cultivator.'' Even Ajax was no exception as 500 million trader tokens was not a huge sum for him. ''Ding, The host awakened a new bloodline. Please check it in the user interface. Chapter 1511 Powerful Bloodline Chapter 1511 Powerful Bloodline¡¡¡¡''Ding, The host awakened a new bloodline. Please check it in the user interface. As Ajax was shocked by the price of the final item of the auction, he received a system notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Bloodline? Excellent.'' Since there was no way for Ajax to raise the bid for the item, he didn''t bother about it any longer as he was sure that it would be bought by Blood Vampire King. So, he decided to check his newly awakened bloodline. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline (Level 1). Effect: When activated, the user''s cultivation will temporarily rise by one major realm and no weapon or attack could kill them for five minutes. Limitations: 1) It has a cooldown of 24 hours. 2) The temporary rise in cultivation is limited to the peak Emperor realm. Soon, the information about the bloodline appeared in front of Ajax. ''What? Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the effects of the bloodline and rubbed his eyes to check whether he was seeing it correctly or not. ''It is real.'' Even though it was his first time hearing about this bloodline, the name of the bloodline alone seemed very powerful. As for the effect, as long as Ajax used it, he would directly be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator. ''Even though the effect of increasing the cultivation by a whole major realm for only five minutes seemed very less and it even has two limitations to it, in my eyes it is very powerful.'' Ajax had yet to encounter any cultivator beyond the Emperor realm and he didn''t think he would be meeting one any time soon as he was nning to conquer only smaller and normal worlds. He didn''t even bother to think about conquering a Greater world. So, his chances of meeting the cultivators beyond the Emperor''s realm were almost impossible. ''I think I can start conquering the low-level normal worlds as I have enough trump cards to survive almost every situation now.'' After checking his bloodline and all the trump cards he had received today, Ajax was deceived to actively participate in conquering the normal worlds soon. For his first normal world, Ajax decided to start with level 1 to level 3 normal grade worlds which were called Low-level normal worlds. "The price of the final item of today''s auction has risen to 500 million trader tokens. Is there anyone willing to raise the price any further?" The beautiful elf was already over the moon with such a high price for the final item. So, with a bright smile, she asked whether anyone was willing to raise the bid despite knowing that it was almost impossible for anyone to raise the price any further. "500 million trader tokens, once." "500 million trader tokens, twice." "500 million¡­" "510 million trader tokens." As the beautiful elf was about to give the final call, someone raised the price of the item by 10 million trader tokens, giving quite a shock to everyone. ''Who is this new participant? Why have I never heard his voice before?'' ''Since he was able to bid such a high price against the Blood Vampire King, he must be a peak emperor realm cultivator.'' ''He is sitting in the special chamber 1. I think he is a cultivator belonging to the High-level trader''s realm.'' ''What? High-level trader''s realm.'' The participants sitting outside the special chambers could not see the participants sitting inside the chambers. Other than the special cultivators who revealed their Id name of the trader''s realm, they know nothing about these special cultivators sitting inside the special chambers. So, everyone was surprised to see an unfamiliar voiceing from special chamber 1. "Our special cultivator has finally raised a bid." The beautiful elf was also equally surprised by the sudden bid from the special cultivator from the special chamber 1. Even though she knew that the cultivator inside that chamber was special, the beautiful elf didn''t think he would bid for a mythical grade item when it was already in the overpriced range. ''It looks like he is interested in this special mythical grade hammer.'' In the trader''s realm, there are three auction houses and this one ranks lowest among the three auction houses. Since the special cultivator from the special chamber 1 has the ess to the highest ranked auction house where mythical grade weapons were auctioned off regrly, the beautiful elf was puzzled at his actions. However, she soon came to the conclusion that the special cultivator might have visited her auction house because of that item. "The Bloodline emperor has bid 510 million trader tokens." While announcing the price, the beautiful elf looked at the special chamber of the Blood Vampire King to check whether he was willing to raise the price any further. ''...'' However, there was no response from the Blood Vampire King, making the beautiful elf give up her hopes of increasing the price any further. The Blood Vampire has already said that he would not bid if someone bids more than 500 million trader tokens. He stood by his words and didn''t bid because the price was out of his funds. ''What? Bloodline Emperor?'' On the other hand, Ajax was shocked when he heard the two words ''Bloodline Emperor'' and muttered, ''Is it really Master? Or someone else who is randomly using that name.'' The title ''Bloodline Emperor'' belonged to his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror; however, in the trader''s realm, anyone can take a name as long as it was not taken by other cultivators. ''His voice seemed different; however, his ent was the same.'' A cultivator could change his voice as long as he didn''t want others to know his identity through the voice. Even though it was different, Ajax felt a familiar ent, making him believe that it was his master. ''Wait a second¡­Master is the friend of the fallen genius Aaron. So, it is highly possible that it was the master who wanted to take the weapon that once belonged to his friend.'' When he thought about it and formed the connection, Ajax found something that made him believe that the special cultivator with the id Bloodline Emperor was definitely his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror. ''However, it is better to remain quiet and talk after returning back to the Purple stone world.'' Even though Ajax was almost sure that it was his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror, Ajax didn''t dare tomunicate with him. Since he had received a token from his master that would let him enter the Bloodline training grounds, there was no need to meet his master in front of him whenever thetter was trying to hide his identity. ''It looks like the master is quite rich. Maybe, I should steal¡­.no, I should make master gift me a couple of hundred millions of trader tokens.'' He thought that the Blood Vampire King was already the wealthiest cultivator he had encountered so far. However, he didn''t expect his master to be richer than the Blood Vampire King. Therefore, he thought of asking for a gift from his master after meeting his master in the Bloodline training grounds. "510 million trader tokens¡­once¡­.twice¡­thrice." On the stage, the beautiful elf didn''t waste any time as she finalized the price of the item. "The bloodline emperor has won the final item of the auction. Congrattions, Sir Bloodline Emperor." The beautiful elf congratted while looking at the special chamber 1; however, no response came from the chamber. Nevertheless, the beautiful elf was not offended as she ended the auction house, "Let''s see you in the next auction that would be held next month as usual. Until then, stash your funds." After saying those words, the beautiful elf quietly left the stage with an excited smile. ''If I host auctions like today or another three or four times, I will be promoted to the mid-level auction house.'' She was in a happy mood today as he went to her office to calcte today''s profits and hermission from those profits. ¡­. Chapter 1512 Signing a deal Chapter 1512 Signing a deal¡¡¡¡"First, let''s meet the Blood Vampire King." Ajax decided to meet the Blood Vampire King first because he was the first cultivator to send him the gift and request to be friends. ''I will meet him after I take the nt essence.'' Ajax had yet to receive the nt essence from the auction house. So, he decided to wait before meeting the Blood Vampire King. ''Knock'' After waiting a few minutes, someone came to give him the nt essence while talking about the Normal World Core from Ajax. "Trader, this is the special entry pass for the trader to participate in our future auctions without any entry fees." The elf woman didn''t leave after the exchange; instead, she gave him a golden-coloured pass to Ajax and exined its use. "Okay" Even though Ajax was excited that he could enter the future auctions without paying the entry fee, he looked nonchnt on the surface. From the beginning, Ajax gave off an aura of a young master from a powerful family and acted like nothing could pique his interest. So, he continued to maintain that aura and acted nonchntly. ''Swiish'' As soon as Ajax took the golden pass, the golden pass turned into light particles and entered Ajax''s body. "The respected trader doesn''t have to carry it. The moment the trader entered the auction house, everyone working in the auction house would respectfully guide you to this special chamber 7." Seeing the confused look on Ajax''s face, the elf woman exined about it. "Is that so?" Ajax returned to his ''Young master from a powerful family'' look and nodded his head. "Yes, Sir Trader. I will take my leave now. I hope Sir Trader will continue to visit our auction house." After saying those words, the elf woman quietly left the special chamber 7. ''I think I can go and meet the Blood Vampire King.'' Ajax knew which special chamber the Blood Vampire King was staying in. So, he decided to go there and discuss their future deals. The reason why everyone wants to be friends with him is because of his world cores. So, of course, Ajax was going to use the world cores to get valuable resources from the other worlds. ''Swoosh'' Just as he was about to leave his special chamber, the spirit from earlier appeared in front of him. "Respected trader, the Blood Vampire King has invited you to join in the special trader''s chamber. Do you want to enter?" The spirit asked Ajax with a face full of respect. "Special Trader''s Chamber? What is it?" Ajax didn''t hesitate to ask about it because the young spirit in front of him was the same spirit that weed him into the trader''s realm. Since she already knew he was a new trader, Ajax asked about it. "A special trader''s chamber is a ce where two traders could discuss their deals and sign a contract in the presence of a spirit belonging to the trader''s realm." The spirits of the trader''s realm were like servants in the trader''s realm, and their purpose was to help the cultivators entering the trader''s realm in their trades. Of course, answering their questions was also their main purpose. Therefore, the young spirit answered Ajax''s question with a respectful look on her face. "Oh." Ajax nodded his head after hearing the spirit''s reply and decided to enter the special trader''s chamber. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax agreed, his body disappeared from the special chamber 7 and appeared in a ce that waspletely covered in white mist. "Thank you foring here on such short notice, [Harbinger of the destruction]." As Ajax was checking his surroundings, he heard a male voice, and soon, a handsome young man who looked to be in his early twenties appeared in his vision. "Blood Vampire King?" Ajax greeted with some confusion on his face. "Yes. Please sit and have this mind-soothing tea." The Blood Vampire King was sitting on a chair, and in front of him, there was a table with two cups on it. "Okay." Ajax didn''t think much and sat before drinking the tea. ''Ding, The host consumed the mind-soothing tea. ''Ding, The host''s spirit consciousness''s capacity is increased by 100 units. ''What?'' The moment he took a sip of the mind-soothing tea, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that gave him quite a shock. Who would not get shocked if their spirit consciousness''s capacity increased by 100 units by taking a sip of tea? ''Ajax, control yourself and maintain the vibe.'' Nevertheless, he was shocked and asked, "Let''s not waste any time and get straight to the point." While saying that, Ajax took another sip which increased his spirit consciousness capacity by another 100 units. ''He is using such a valuable tea to wee someone whom he was going to meet for the first time. No wonder the world of the rich ispletely different.'' Ajax could not help but take another sip. If such a tea appeared in the Purple Stone World, it would lead to bloodshed without a doubt; however, the Blood Vampire King was using it as a regr. "Sure." The reason Ajax said that they should directly get to the point was that he didn''t know what to speak with the Blood Vampire King. Nevertheless, the Blood Vampire King was also straightforward and nodded his head. "I want world cores. Whether it was a smaller world core or a normal world core, I am willing to buy it." After sipping his tea, the Blood Vampire King directly said what he wanted from Ajax. "I only had a normal world core which I used to exchange for the nt essence." Ajax was not surprised by the Blood Vampire King''s words as he had already expected it. So, he said, "However, I can provide you the smaller world cores once in a while. What do you say?" ''Once in a while means exactly how many years?" The Blood Vampire King wanted to know the exact details. So, he asked how many years he had to wait to get a single smaller world core. ''Years? When did I say years?'' Ajax was surprised by the Blood Vampire King''s words because Ajax could easily get a single smaller world core per day using Alder''s ability. If he used the ability of other devour eagle kings, that would be 20 smaller world cores in a month. Unlike Alder''s ability, the cooldown for the ten devour eagle kings was 15 days. So, they could use their ability twice a month. In total, Ajax could easily get 50 smaller world cores in a month through the devour eagle kings. ''I still have eight exploration teams with more or less the same speed as the devour eagle kings. So, that will be another 16 smaller world cores.'' Ajax could get so many smaller world cores in a month. So, he didn''t understand why the Blood Vampire King thought he would provide a single smaller world core every few years. It was not the Blood Vampire King''s fault because the world-conquering sect known for its ability to retrieve the world cores from the worlds said it would take years to retrieve a single world core. So, the Blood Vampire King misunderstood that Ajax could provide a smaller world core once in a few years. "I will provide a smaller world core once every month; however, what will you trade it for?" Since Ajax was getting more than 60 smaller world cores in a month, he had no problem trading a few of them in the trader''s realm for other treasures. Therefore, he asked what the Blood Vampire King was willing to provide in return for the smaller world core. ''What? A smaller world core for every month?'' The Blood Vampire King was schoked by Ajax''s words and looked at him in a new light. Moreover, he understood something from Ajax''s words and said, "I will pay the earlier price of 30 million trader tokens for each world core and a legend-grade treasure from my Greater Vampire World to maintain our trading rtionship for as long as possible." Before Ajax entered the special trader''s chamber, the Blood Vampire King thought he would use 15 million trader''s tokens in exchange for the smaller world core. However, when he heard Ajax was willing to provide a smaller world core every month, the Blood Vampire King doubled the trader''s tokens and even added a small gift for Ajax every month. ''30 million trader''s tokens and a legend-grade treasure from the Greater Vampire World?'' Ajax was shocked by the price the Blood Vampire King quotes; however, he suppressed it and replied, "Deal." Ajax did not need to hesitate because the price was already out of his expectations. So, Ajax directly agreed to it. The Blood Vampire King was also satisfied with Ajax''s behaviour. In most cases, the seller would try to raise the price even though he was already offered to pay a high price; however, Ajax directly agreed withoutining about the price. Soon, they signed a contract in the presence of a young spirit belonging to the trader''s realm. "Harbinger of Destruction, see you in 30 days." Their deal starts next month. So, the Blood Vampire King said those words and left the trader''s chamber. ¡­. Soon, he exited that trader''s chamber and appeared in the special chamber of the auction house. ''I wonder who I should meet now.'' While thinking about it, Ajax came out of his special chamber and was surprised to see all the special participants waiting for him outside his chamber. Chapter 1513 Floating Island Chapter 1513 Floating Ind¡¡¡¡In a special trader''s chamber. "So, what are you going to trade with me in exchange for the smaller world cores?" Looking at the five human emperors sitting in front of him, Ajax asked with a calm look on his face. Earlier, when Ajax walked out of his special chamber, the five elemental human emperors were waiting for him. As soon as they saw him, they bought a special trader''s chamber to discuss their trades. After talking about a few things, Ajax directly asked what they were wgoing to use to trade for his world cores. "I will pay 20 million trader tokens." The fire emperor was the first to say his offer. "I will pay 25 million trader tokens to you if you supply the world cores steadily." "I will¡­" "Sorry to tell you this but I am not interested in trader tokens. Try trading with some valuable resources from your worlds." However, before the other emperors could finish their offers, Ajax interrupted their words and asked them to trade with something else. Since he was already getting 30 million trader tokens from the Blood Vampire King and he might receive even more from his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror, Ajax was not interested in the trader tokens any more. Moreover, if he supplied a lot of smaller world cores into the market, it would lower the value of the world cores. The world conquering sect also did the same thing. Even though they have enough world cores in their hands, they released only one smaller world core into the market and maintained its value. ''If I exchange such a rare treasure with trader tokens, its value will diminish over time. Therefore, it is better to make it a little difficult for others to buy these world cores.'' He was not worried that there won''t be anyone willing to exchange the rare treasures for the world cores. Each world has some cultivation resources in abundance whereas the same cultivation resources were rare and cultivators might kill each other. So, Ajax''s n was to get such cultivation resources in exchange for the world cores. ''If someone doesn''t want to exchange, then so be it. I would rather use the world cores to increase my cultivation than selling them for money.'' Ajax silently thought in his head while waiting for the reply from the five human emperors. "I am willing to send you to the Floating ind from my world once for a single smaller world core." As though the metal human emperor already guessed that Ajax would not trade the smaller world cores with the trader tokens, he quoted his offer with a slight smile. "What? You are using a slot to enter the Floating Ind for a smaller world core?" The four other human emperors were surprised with the metal human emperor''s trade. "Why not? Whem I am getting a guaranteed valuable item like a smaller world core, I don''t mind sacrificing one chance to enter the Floating Ind." The metal human emperor chuckled a little as replied to the four human emperors. "Do you mind exining more about it?" Ajax was clueless about what they were talking about; however, he could tell whatever the metal human emperor was offering, it must be valuable. Nevertheless, it was better to know more about it beforepleting the exchange. So, he asked the metal human emperor to exin more about what he would be trading for a smaller world core. "Of course, I will exin about it." The metal human emperor would exin how valuable it was to make sure Ajax offers more smaller world cores if he wants it in the future. "Even though we belong to five different Greater human worlds, we are in fact connected by a mysterious ind known as Floating Ind." "Every month, the five elemental human emperors could send a selected cultivator below the age of 30 and below the emperor realm cultivation to enter the Floating Ind and collect the treasures inside it. Of course, the treasures will have dangers. The more valuable the treasure is, the riskier it will be to collect that treasure." Soon, the metal human emperor started exining about the Floating Ind. "Interesting." Ajax was instantly hooked by this so-called floating ind. However, he didn''t agree to the trade directly; instead, he asked, "What type of treasures will the participant get inside the floating ind? And what is the grade of those treasures? Also, the most important thing is what are the chances of getting high-level treasures from the ind?" In a single go, Ajax asked a series of questions that made the smile on the metal human emperor''s face freeze. Even though the metal human emperor sounded like he was the short end of the stick, Ajax could tell there was something off about the floating ind; otherwise, why would he trade such an excellent opportunity with a smaller world core? ''Moreover, he said they could enter every month. If the participants he sent could obtain such treasures every month, then it would be richer than the Blood vampire king.'' Ajax might be young; however, he knew how to be careful when doing bid trades with big cultivators who would scam him. "The minimum grade of the items the participant can receive are at low-level legend grade. As for the type of the treasures, they are all types of them like cultivation techniques, skills, weapon and weapon techniques, pills, pill recipes and pill refining techniques. "There are countless of them. There were even instances that some of the participants found mid-level mythical grade treasures inside the floating ind." Nevertheless, the metal human emperor answered all of them. "Then isn''t it better for you to offer those mid-level mythical grade treasures; instead of giving such a valuable opportunity?" Ajax thought the metal human emperor was a righteous cultivator; however, he was disappointed a little as Ajax felt he was still hiding something important. "The chance of finding a high-level legend grade treasure is already hard, not to mention finding a mythical grade treasure." From the side, the fire human emperor said the thing that the metal human emperor was not informing Ajax. "Moreover, even if you are lucky and found high-level legend grade treasures, the dangers guarding that treasure was not something a king could face." The water human emperor pointed out another drawback in the metal human emperor''s offer. ''As I expected, there is something off about the trade.'' Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the metal human emperor as though he was waiting for an exnation from him. "However, there is something good about entering the floating ind other than retrieving the treasures. " Before the metal human emperor could say anything, the earth himan emperor spoke, making Ajax raise his brows. "What is it?" Even though Ajax learned about the things that the metal human emperor was hiding, Ajax was still interested in entering the floating ind because he was not a normal king realm cultivator. ''If worstes to wost, I will upgrade my cultivation to high-level king realm and use the blessed refining technique. At that time, killing a mid-level emoperor realm cultivator and fighting the high-level emperor realm cultivators will not be a problem for me.'' Since there is a possibility of getting the mythical grade treasure, Ajax would definitely give it a try. So, he asked what was the good thing about entering the floating ind other than what the metal humn emperor mentioned. "It''s time. The time inside the floating ind is quite fast from our worlds." The earth human emperor continued, "A participant who enters the Floating ind has to survive for seven days in our greater world''s time; however, it would be seven years inside the floating ind." "What? Seven years?" Ajax nearly fell from his chair when he heard the earth human emperor''s words. One day in the greater human world is equivalent to one year inside the floating ind and since the participant can stay for a week, it would be seven years. The participants could increase his cultivation by multiple levels during his stay in the floating ind. "Also, the essence of nature and thews inside the floating ind were much purer and clearerpared to the many low-level greater human worlds. So, even if you don''t find any treasure, you can increase your cultivation or cultivationws and souls or you might evenprehend new cultivationws or souls." The metal human emperor who was silent until now, spoke with a confident look on his face. "Moreover, I am only willing to trade the opportunity to enter the Floating Ind for once. After that, if you want to enter it, you have to offer multiple world cores." He even informed that he was just letting Ajax have a taste of the benefits from the floating ind. "Oh." Ajax nodded his head and finally understood the true value of entering the floating ind. ''It was not about getting the treasures; instead, it is time to increase the levels of my cultivationws and souls.'' For a cultivator, the fastest way to increase his battle prowess was by powerful bloodlines and the cultivator''sws. Moreover, Ajax didn''t need the essence of nature to increase his cultivation. So, his goal was to learn new cultivator''sws and upgrade the cultivator''sw and souls he had alreadyprehended. ''At the same time, I can try getting a mythical grade treasure or a couple of high-level legend grade treasures.'' Ajax felt it was truly a valuable thing and decided to exchange it. "We would also like to exchange that opportunity with a smaller world core for the first time." **** Please support my new book ''Talent Swallowing Hero'' to win the WSA. Chapter 1514 Deal with the Five Human Emperors Chapter 1514 Deal with the Five Human Emperors¡¡¡¡"We would also like to exchange that opportunity to enter the floating ind for a smaller world core for the first time." As soon as they saw that Ajax was showing interest in trading a smaller world core in exchange for a one-time opportunity to enter the Floating Ind, the remaining four human emperors also decided to exchange it. ''Huh? Are they dumb?'' When he heard the four human emperors'' words, Ajax thought they were dumb. Because the value of an opportunity to enter the floating ind was much bigger than a smaller world core. Moreover, the metal human emperor himself said that if Ajax wants to enter the floating ind for the second time through his Greater Metal World, he would charge multiple world cores. ''If he charges more, then I would go to the other human emperors who were willing to offer the lowest price or a low number of smaller world cores.'' Therefore, there was no need for the four human emperors to be anxious; instead, they should feel happy because after experiencing the taste of the treasures on the Floating Ind, Ajax won''t mind offering more world cores. ''Are they still hiding something from me?'' Suddenly, Ajax sensed something was still off about the opportunity to enter the floating ind. "The Harbinger of destruction doesn''t need to worry about it." Seeing that Ajax was hesitating with their trade, the Earth human emperor exined, "Even though the participant will be staying in the floating ind for seven years, they can''t sit in one ce to cultivate as there are many spirit beasts that roam around. So, even cultivating is also a little difficult" "Oh" Ajax was not worried about such dangers as he listened to the Earth human emperor who seemed to exin something more about the floating ind. "Also, when a participant enters the floating ind for the first time, because of the sudden change in the time speed, they could not venture deeper into the floating ind; however, from the second time, the participant won''t feel anything and won''t be affected by the time difference." "Is that all? Are you still hiding something from me?" Nodding his head, Ajax asked the remaining four human emperors. Among the five elemental human emperors, only the earth human emperor seemed genuine. So, Ajax asked the remaining four human emperors whether they were hiding something from him. ''...'' The four human emperors looked at the Earth human emperor for a moment before saying, "The thing is a high chance of encountering a critical danger in the first visit to the floating ind which might cost the life of the participant; however, those who survive their first visit, they can easily survive from their next visit." "Even if you enter the floating ind through the five greater worlds, it will be counted as your first time since you will be representing the world you''re entering from." "Therefore, if you survive your first visit, your chances of survival will be more and you can find a safe location during your first visit and cultivate in that safe location in your second visit." One emperor after another exined everything without hiding anything. "Oh." Finally, Ajax understood and nodded his head. Even though he now knows everything about the floating ind, Ajax''s curiosity to enter the floating ind increases even more. However, he didn''t show it on his face as he didn''t want the five human emperors to know that he was interested in their item. "So, if I am unlucky, I might even die on the floating ind on the first visit and that''s why you want me to pick your offer first such that even if I die, you will already have the smaller world core." Ajax asked with a serious look on his face as he asked them. "No¡­no." "You have misunderstood us, young master. We just want to get my hands on the smaller world core to increase the grade of our worlds." "Also, if the participant is a summoner or a beast tamer, he could summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts in the floating ind." "Therefore, it will be an adventure for the young master to not only increase his battle prowess but also get some valuable treasures from the floating ind." Except for the earth human emperor, the remaining four emperors hurriedly tried to clear the misunderstanding. "We can summon the elemental spirits?" Ajax was surprised for a moment and said, "Even though entering the floating ind seemed like a good exchange for the smaller world core, for entering the first time, I think your item seems less valuable." Even though Ajax had already decided to enter the floating ind, he wanted to get somepensation from the four elemental human emperors for trying to scam him. "What do you mean less valuable?" All five human emperors frowned; however, the metal human emperor was the first to ask about it. "If you think entering the floating ind for the first time is valuable, don''t bother exchanging it. Not only will I need a couple of years to adjust myself to the floating ind but I might even die on it." Ajax acted nonchntly and he even suggested that they should exchange with something else if they feel they are trading a more valuable item than the smaller world core. "..." The five human emperors remained speechless and silentlymunicated. ''Let''s take a step down and give him an additional item in exchange for his smaller world core.'' ''Yes. Once he gets the taste of the Floating ind, we can start extorting smaller world cores from him.'' ''I think he is from some powerful family and he might have quite a lot of trump cards to survive on the floating ind. Let''s do it.'' Except for the Earth human emperor, the remaining four human emperors put aside their feud and formed a syndicate to extort more smaller world cores from Ajax in the future. "Why don''t we do this? Since the young master is feeling we are offering less valuable item in exchange for the smaller world cores, we are willing to pay the market price of a smaller world core in the trader tokens." "Currently, we don''t have any valuable treasures other than the trader tokens." "If the young master still feels we are not offering enough for the smaller world core, then we have to part ways here." The four human emperors spoke one after another, exining that they are willing to pay 15 million trader tokens along with an opportunity to enter the floating ind for a smaller world core. "Hm¡­okay. Let''s sign the contract then." Ajax acted a little hesitant before suggesting they should sign the contract. Even though Ajax could tell that they were not serious when they said they would not offer more than what they decided to offer now, Ajax didn''t want to push them more. He was already satisfied with entering the floating ind and he would be getting an additional 15 million trader tokens for each world core that he was going to sell to the human emperors. The moment Ajax learned that he could summon his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, he had already nned to fill the entire floating ind with his summon and let them cultivate. If his summons could cultivate for seven years inside the floating, they would each level up by at least one minor realm in their cultivation. Ajax was looking forward to the day he could enter the floating ind to cultivate inside it along with his army of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "Let''s do it." The four human emperors were excited and hurriedly wanted to sign the contract. Once the contract is signed in the trader realm''s special chamber, it would be fulfilled no matter what. If anyone breaks the contract, they would face the wrath of the owner of the trader''s realm. No matter where you hide, the owner of the trader''s realm would find you and make you pay more than 10 times what was written on the contract. "I am not going to pay anything extra. If he doesn''t want to take the opportunity to enter the floating ind through the Greater Earth World, then so be it. I am leaving." As soon as he finished his words, the Earth Human Emperor decided to leave the special chamber. ''Wait a second. Let''s finish the deal without any trader token.'' Suddenly, he heard Ajax''s voice in his head, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Since you are sincere and exined the dangers of entering the floating ind beforehand, let''s go with the old deal.'' Ajax even gave a reason why he gave special treatment to the Earth Human Emperor. ''Okay.'' The Earth Human Emperor didn''t leave the special chamber and silently stood as the four emperors made a contract with their discussion conditions. ording to the condition, the Harbinger of destruction would give a smaller world to one of the human emperors each month before entering the floating ind through that human emperor''s world. As for the 15 million trader tokens, they would be paid to Harbinger of destruction right away as an advance payment. If Harbinger of destruction failed to fulfil his promise, he should pay 10 smaller world cores or 100 million trader tokens as a penalty. "Done." Soon, the four human emperors and Ajax signed the contract which disappeared into thin air. "See you next month." Among the four human emperors, Ajax chose to enter the floating ind through the metal human emperor''s world. "Okay." Soon, the four human emperors left with excited smiles thinking, they have sessfully lured Ajax. "Let''s sign the contract." After they left, Ajax asked the earth human emperor with a slight smile. Chapter 1515: Mid-level Auction House Chapter 1515: Mid-level Auction House"Since you are here, why don''t we enter the auction house at this level which is about to start?" Zanath asked whether Ajax was interested in entering the auction house. The trader''s realm is ssified into three levels: Low-level, Mid-level and High-level. At each level, there is an auction house and these auction houses host an auction every month on the same day. As for the time, the auction houses host their auctions at random times depending on their convenience. Today, the auction houses of the low-level and the mid-level trader''s realm had already ended and the auction in the mid-level trader''s realm was about to start. And the reason why Zanath entered the trader''s realm was to attend the auction house in the mid-level since he was a mid-level trader. "Yes." Since the most valuable items in the trader''s realm could be found in the auction house, Ajax decided to enter it. "Is there something you are interested in today''s auction?" As they walked toward the auction house, Ajax asked Zanath whether he had something he wished to buy from the auction house. Officially, the auction houses don''t divulge the information of their items before the auction; however, the information of some of the items would be leaked. It was most likely the auction houses who leak the information and they intentionally exaggerate the information about those items. Since they were not revealing the information officially, even if they add a few lies to those items, no one would me them. It was a business that the auction houses adopted to increase the number of participants in their auction houses. "There is nothing I want; however, I have to buy a few items to increase my rank to enter the high-level trader''s realm." Zanath replied without thinking much as they continued to walk. ''Oh'' Ajax nodded his head and didn''t ask any more questions as he started thinking about his future. ''Since the nt essence is so valuable, I think I have to put a hold on my mission to gather the nt essence until I be an Emperor realm cultivator.'' Along the way, Ajax started making a n where he could afford the nt essence. As for now, if someone sells the 1000 units of nt essence to him, Leo could not buy it with his funds and even if he sells all his normal world cores, Ajax was not sure whether he could buy the 1000 units of the nt essence. ''If I trade all six normal world cores and 100 million trader tokens for 1000 units of the nt essence, then I have to put a hold on my cultivation, which will, in turn, stagnate my speed of retrieving the world cores.'' Ajax ran all types of simtions regarding his ns and in the end, he decided, ''First thing first, I should be an Emperor realm cultivator first.'' That''s right! After thinking about it for a while, Ajax felt that focusing on his cultivation and increasing his battle prowess was the fastest way to increase his speed of retrieving the world cores. Once Ajax bes an Emperor realm cultivator, as long as he puts some effort into it, he could conquer a normal demon world without any problem. ''If I can conquer a normal demon world and retrieve its world core, then I can get a greater world core every ten days just from my invasion. If Alder and the remaining 10 devour eagle kings do their usual invasion, I will get another 50-60 smaller world cores without any problem.'' Just imagining those things made Ajax very excited as he became very determined and said, ''As long as I get more world cores, I can easily get the nt essence.'' Recently, Ajax learned that there were two rarest items in the trader''s realm. One is the nt essence and the other one is a world core. Even though there was already a seller for the world cores, which was the world-conquering sect, they only released one smaller world core and a normal world core every month and it''s been a while since they put the cores in the auction house. ''I just need to wait for one and half months to gather enough smaller world cores to merge them into a greater world core and at the same time, I can also trade some of the smaller world cores to the deals I signed today.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the contracts he signed today and even after adding the world cores he needed to give to the Blood Vampire King and others, it would take less than two months for him to be a high-level king realm cultivator. ''After that, I need another two months to umte enough smaller world cores to merge them into a Greater world core which I can use to break through to the Emperor realm.'' Even though he had already met the conditions to break through to the high-level king realm, he didn''t know the breakthrough conditions for the Emperor realm. Nevertheless, if he had a Greater world core in hand and the moment he meets the breakthrough conditions, Ajax could use it to be an Emperor realm cultivator. ''At that time, I will go and conquer the Normal level worlds.'' Overall, Ajax had to wait for around three months which was equivalent to the time required for the system to finish its upgrade. ''By the time, the system finishes its upgrade, I will be an Emperor realm cultivator. I wonder what type of missions it will give me at the time.'' The difficulty of the system increases with this cultivation. Moreover, if the system is upgraded, then it would unlock some good rewards. Amidst his thoughts and ns, Zanath and Ajax had already entered the auction house as Zanaht paid for Ajax''s entry ticket. The auction house looked simr to the auction house in the low-level trader''s realm auction house; however, this auction house had soft seats and a little bit of good infrastructurepared to that. "Let''s sit here." Soon, they found their seats and started waiting for the auction to start. Unlike before, Ajax was not given a special chamber because he was not a special cultivator this time. To qualify as a special cultivator, one had to sell something through the auction or they should belong to the high-level trader''s realm. Therefore, Ajax and Zanath could only sit in the normal seats as the special chambers were already filled with the special cultivators. "Young master, if you like any item, tell me, I will buy it for you." As they were waiting for the auction to start, Zanath informed Ajax that he would buy an item for him. "Okay." Since the other party was willing to buy an item for him, Ajax didn''t want to reject it as he felt Zanath might feel bad about it. Moreover, Ajax also knew that Zanath was a powerful expert and worked for his master, Bloodline Emperor Mostror. So, he thought Zanath should be rich. "By the way, is there any difference between the three auction houses of the three levels of the trader''s realm? Of course, other than the grade of the items." After nodding at Zanath, Ajax asked a question. It was natural for the mid-level auction house to sell the items more valuable than the items sold by the low-level auction house and for the high-level auction house, it would sell even more valuable items than the other two auction houses. However, Ajax was curious whether there were any other differences between these three auction houses. "There is one difference." Zanath thought for a moment as he exined, "In the low-level auction house, twenty items would be sold whereas in the mid-level auction house, only 10 items would be sold." "Oh. Only half the number of the items sold by the low-level auction houses in a single auction." Ajax was not surprised because as the quality of the items increases the number of the items sold would deceased. "What about the high-level auction house? How many items will it sell in a single auction?" Ajax curious asked about the high-level auction house. Since it was a high-level auction house and sold the top-notch items in it, Ajax wanted to know about it. "Only three items per every auction and each one of them would be bid crazily that you don''t even dare to bid in it." Zagnath answered as he saw a beautiful subus on the stage. "Everyone, wee to the mid-level auction house. Let''s not waste any time and start the auction." Soon, the subus started the auction with the first item. "The first item of the auction is a level 1 Emperor realm elemental spirit ve." While saying that, the beautiful subus pulled the cloth that was covering a huge cage on the stage. ''What?'' ''An emperor realm elemental ve?'' ''I need to get this at any cost.'' Seeing that elemental spirit in the cage, all the participants became excited, especially a cultivator from the special chamber, he was very excited. ''I wonder how much this ve will be sold for? I need funds for thest time. I hope it can give good returns.'' He was none other than the Golden Demon Emperor and the seller of the elemental spirit ve. He requested the auction house manager to put his item as the first item and since an elemental spirit ve was a valuable item, the manager agreed without any hesitation. ''What? An elemental spirit ve?'' On the other hand, Ajax was shocked and said, "Zanath, I have decided. I will buy him." ''...'' However, Zanath''s face had mixed emotions when he heard Ajax''s words and scolded himself, ''I should have controlled my mouth.'' Chapter 1516: Life Elemental Spirit Slave Chapter 1516: Life Elemental Spirit ve''I should have controlled my mouth.'' Zanath bitterly smiled as he didn''t expect Ajax to ask for something that is going to be very expensive. In the entire universe, only humans were given the ability to naturally be summoners and the other races were jealous of that ability. By forming contracts with different elemental spirits, humans could have different abilities. Moreover, with enough time and resources, every single elemental spirit of a summoner would be a huge asset. However, there were some natural treasures like Summoner stones and other things that would let the members of the non-human races be the summoners. Nevertheless, it was almost impossible to find them and every time such an item appeared in the auction house, there would be crazy bidding for it, eventually, it would end up in the hands of a rich and powerful cultivator. Since such items were rare, the cultivators were very interested in directly buying the elemental spirits that were captured from the elemental spirit world using special methods. It was not rare and at the same time, it was not cheap since the Golden Demon Emperor sold dozens of them in every auction. Moreover, it is very easy and convenient as the buyer didn''t have to do any extra work after buying as the Therefore, the value of an Elemental spirit ve was very costly among the non-human races. ''Moreover, this elemental spirit ve has the cultivation of an emperor realm. So, without a doubt, the bidding for the elemental spirit would skyrocket.'' Zanath could easily tell it would be very hard to buy the elemental spirit ve. ''Let it be. I don''t have much use for the trader''s tokens anyway. I will just try bidding with everything I have on me right now.'' Since Ajax was the disciple of the Bloodline Emperor Mostror, the second person he respect and idolize after his master the Demon Executioneer Aaron Alpineswift, Zanath decided to bid for the Elemental Spirit ve. The reason why he visited the auction house was to buy something and increase his trader''s rank so that he could ascend to the high-level trader''s realm. Therefore, Zanath decided to give it a try; however, he was not sure whether he could buy it or not. ''I need to free it at any cost.'' Seeing the elemental spirit, Ajax naturally sympathized. From the moment he learned about the elemental spirits from Elder Boron, Ajax had a soft corner for the elemental spirits. To venture into the outside world or even to start their cultivation, the elemental spirits have to form a contract with the humans. After that, they have to follow every order given by the summoner whether they like it or not. What''s crueller is that when a summoner dies, his unofficial elemental spirits will die whereas the official elemental spirits would be seriously injured. ''It would be a little better if the summoner is good; however, if a summoner doesn''t care about the elemental spirits and mistreats them, it would be even worse.'' Ajax muttered as he looked at the green-coloured elemental spirit ve in the cage and continued thinking, ''The official and unofficial elemental spirits might dissolve the summoner''s spirit mark when they be powerful; however, the elemental spirit ves like him will not have any choice to escape their fate.'' As he thought about the life of the elemental spirits, Ajax could not help but his determination to free the elemental spirit increased. "The starting price of this Life elemental spirit ve is 10 million trader''s tokens with an increment of one million trader''s tokens." The subus didn''t give much information about the life elemental spirit ve as she stated the starting price. "100 Million trader''s tokens." A voice came from the special chamber, instantly raising the price to 100 million trader''s tokens. ''Huh? Why is this voice familiar?'' Ajax felt that voice was familiar and soon, he realized who the owner of the voice was. "As usual, the first bid of the first item is from the Blood Vampire King." The subus revealed the owner of the voice as she asked, "Is there anyone who is willing to pay more than that?" ''What? The Blood Vampire King? And the price is already 100 million trader''s tokens.'' Ajax was a little surprised to see the Blood Vampire King; however, when he thought about how rich the blood vampire king was, he was not surprised. However, what shocked him the most was the Blood Vampire King''s bid of 100 million trader''s tokens. ''After forming the deal with eight cultivators, I made 100 million trader''s tokens and the Blood Vampire King increased that much in a single bid.'' Ajax could not help but bitterly smile as he looked at the special chamber. "110 Million Trader''s tokens." It was Zanath who raised the bid and surprised Ajax. Even though Ajax believed that Zanath would buy him an item, after hearing the price of the Blood Vampire King''s bidding price, Ajax felt Zanath would not bid for the Elemental Spirit anymore. 110 million trader''s tokens was a huge amount for the low-level traders; however, that doesn''t mean it was a small amount for the mid-level traders. "Shard Goliath Leader bids 120 million trader''s tokens." "Infernal Hawk King bids 130 million trader''s tokens." . . . "Storm Naga Queen bids 480 million trader''s tokens." One cultivator after another started bidding for the item. Some of them were special cultivators whereas the remaining few were sitting in normal seats. From the looks of its no one wants to back down and give their all to bid for the Elemental Spirit ve. "Blood Vampire King bids 500 million trader''s tokens and if anyone bids higher than that I will dly stop bidding." Just like before, the Blood Vampire King informed other cultivators that he would not entertain them further if anyone bids higher than 500 million trader''s tokens. ''It looks like I have to bid using the Normal World Core.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and was about to bid when he heard Zanath raise the bid with a nonchnt look on his face. "510 million trader''s tokens." Chapter 1517: [Bonus chapter]Crazy Bidding for the Elemental Spirit Slave Chapter 1517: [Bonus chapter]Crazy Bidding for the Elemental Spirit veEven though Ajax didn''t know how many trader''s tokens the normal world core would cost, he was sure that someone would definitely pay more than 300 million trader''s tokens for sure. And since it was much rarer than the smaller world core, Ajax thought the seller of the Elemental spirit ve would agree to trade with him for the sake of the normal world core. At least that''s what he hoped because a normal world core is more valuable and rare than a smaller world core. However, before he could state his bidding, Ajax heard Zanath raise the Blood Vampire King''s bid by another 10 million trader''s tokens, giving quite a shock to Ajax. "510 million trader''s tokens." Zanath''s voice attracted the entire auction house because he was sitting in the normal seat and not in the special chamber but he was willing to spend more than 500 million trader''s tokens. "A newly arrived trader has quoted his bid. The price is now 510 million trader''s tokens. Is there anyone interested in increasing the price?" The subus was surprised because the bid came from the regr seats and not from the special chamber. If it was at the beginning when the price for the elemental spirit ve was around 200 million trader''s tokens she would have not been surprised; however, the price had already reached 500 million and Zanath had increased it by another 10 million trader''s tokens. Moreover, it was her first time seeing Zanath in the auction house. Actually, she mistook Zanath for the newly arrived trader in the mid-level trader''s realm; however, Zanath ascended to the mid-level trader''s realm long back. It was just that he was busy with other things in the real world and rarely attended the auction houses and even if he attended, he would not bother bidding for the item as he was not interested in any item so far. ''...'' After Zanath''s bid, no one was willing to bid as though they felt the price had already reached a very high level. "There is something I need to inform about this elemental spirit ve to all the participants in the auction house" Seeing that no one was bidding, the beautiful subus started revealing some information about the elemental spirit ve to increase the price. "The seller has promised that this will be thest emperor realm, elemental spirit ve, in the mid-level auction house and if you want more, you can only find them in the high-level auction house." The subus revealed a slight smile and said, "Almost 90 percent of the participants can''t enter the high-level trader''s realm anytime soon. Moreover, even if you enter the high-level trader''s realm by next month, your chances of buying an elemental spirit ve are almost impossible." The subus looked at everyone with a slight smile and continued, "I guess everyone knows how hard it is to win the bid in the high-level auction house. So, what are you waiting for? If you miss the elemental spirit ve now, you might not be able to buy another elemental spirit ve at such a cheap price." "Let''s see how will buy thisst emperor realm, elemental spirit ve, in the mid-level trader''s realm." "600 million trader''s tokens." "610 million trader''s token" "650 million." "700 Million." As soon as the beautiful subus finished her words, the crazy bidding for the elemental spirit ve started once again. Of course, the Blood Vampire King stayed true to his words as he didn''t participate in the bid anymore. "Zanath bids 990 million trader''s tokens." Soon, the price of the emperor realm elemental spirit ve reached one billion trader''s tokens and it was Zanath who bid thest with a whopping 990 million trader''s tokens. "Our newly rising trader had taken reins and increased the price to 990 million trader''s tokens. Is there anyone willing to pay more than that?" "990 million trader''s tokens¡­.once¡­twice¡­" "Heavenly Lion King bids one billion trader''s tokens." Just as the beautiful subus was about to give the final call, someone from the special chamber 1 raised the bid to one billion trader''s tokens. "It''s Heavenly Lion King." "It''s been a while since he bid. "I think he took an interest in that elemental spirit." "Are you an idiot? The Heavenly Lion King is not interested in the elemental spirit ve. It looks like you are new to the mid-level auction house. The Heavenly Lion King bids only when there is a heated bidding session like this." "Also he bids only once for an item and if you increase the price even by a single trader''s token, he would not botherpeting for that item." "Why is it like that?" "It is because the Heavenly Lion King is too prideful and doesn''t like topete with us. Moreover, he likes to show off his wealth once in a while like this." All the old participants of the mid-level auction house started talking about the Heavenly Lion King. "Why did this kitty want to show off at a time like this?" Zanath looked at the special chamber in the back and could not help but scoff at the heavenly lion king. The thing is, even though more and more participants started joining in the bid for the elemental spirit ve after the subus said it would be thest emperor realm elemental spirit in the mid-level auction house, the participants bidding for the elemental spirit reduced as the price rose. By the time it reached 900 million trader''s tokens, only Zanath and Shard Goliath Leader continued to bid and eventually, the Goliath Leader gave up at the price of 990 million trader''s tokens. Just when Zanath thought that he would be getting the elemental spirit ve, the Heavenly Lion King increased the price just to show off his wealth. "Is that real? He would not bid twice for the same item?" On the other hand, Ajax heard the things about the Heavenly Lion King and asked Zanath about it. "Yes. They are true." "Harbinger of Destruction bids 1.01 billion trader''s tokens." Chapter 1518 Final Item Chapter 1518 Final Item "Harbinger of Destruction bids 1.01 billion trader''s tokens." As soon as Ajax got the confirmation regarding the Heavenly Lion King''s character, he didn''t waste any time as he directly raised the bid by 10 million trader''s tokens. "Ajax, I only have one billion trader''s tokens. Why did you raise a bid? Do you have the 10 million trader''s token?" Zanath was calm until now; however, he frowned when he heard Ajax raise the bid. Actually, the thing is, Zanath only has 900 million trader''s tokens in his ount and with the remaining 100 million trader''s tokens, he thought he could sell an item that he was nning to see for a while. He was sure that he would barely get 100 million trader''s tokens. So, he felt a littleplicated to bid more than one billion trader''s tokens as he didn''t want to sell the other items to him because he needed them. "I have 100 million trader''s tokens. Let''s pool our funds together." Ajax assured Zanath that he had enough funds to buy the Elemental Spirit ve. "Oh." Zanath nodded his head. "Another new trader has raised a bid. There are so many hidden ck horses in today''s auction." The beautiful subus didn''t expect the price to increase after reaching one billion trader''s tokens. So, when she heard Ajax''s bid, she revealed an excited smile. "1.01 Million trader''s tokens¡­.once¡­twice¡­" Suddenly, Zanath raised the bid of "1.02 billion trader''s tokens." It surprised everyone in the auction house; however,pared to them, Ajax was the one more shocked. ''What? Why is he raising the bid?'' Ajax was confused as he didn''t understand why Zanath wanted to raise the price; however, he didn''t raise the price. ''As long as the Elemental Spirit ve is freed from the spirit mark in his body, it is enough for him.'' For Ajax, it didn''t want how bought the elemental spirit ve between him and Zanath as he only cared about removing the contract inside the elemental spirit before sending him back to the elemental spirit world. "1.02 Million trader''s tokens¡­.once¡­twice and thrice." The beautiful subus was having an ear-to-ear smile as he called Zanath''s price three times before ending the auction for the Elemental Spirit ve. "Trader Zanath gets the first item of today''s auction." After announcing that, the beautiful subus didn''t wait for anything as she continued to auction off the next items in the auction. "I need to spend money to ascend to the high-level trader''s realm." On the other hand, Zanath exined the reason why he bid against Ajax. Even though they might be Elemental Spirit ve, Zanath''s main goal for entering today''s auction would have been in vain if Ajax buys the Elemental Spirit ve. If he wanted to ascend to the high-level trader''s realm, then the spending should be from his ount. It was as simple as that and since Ajax had 100 million trader''s tokens, Zanath didn''t mind spending another 10 million trader''s tokens. "Transfer me 20 million trader''s tokens. I will go and finish the payment." Since he didn''t have any money left to buy the other items in the auction house, Zanath decided to finish the payment. Of course, he didn''t forget to take 20 million trader''s tokens from Ajax before leaving his seat. "I hope there will be a good but cheap item in the next nine items." After transferring 20 million trader''s tokens to Zanath, Ajax focused on the auction; however, he was unable to buy them. They would be either too costly or cheap butpletely useless for him. Moreover, even though there were a couple of costly items that Ajax was interested in, he was not willing to sacrifice his normal world cores for those items. ''It looks like there is no nt essence in the auction today.'' What Ajax was really hoping for in the auction was the appearance of the nt essence; however, his luck was not good. Time continued to pass as the tenth and thest item of the auction had finally arrived, making everyone in the auction house curious and excited. "The final item of today''s auction is from the famous World Conquering Sect." The beautiful subus didn''t reveal the item; instead, she revealed the information about the seller of the item. "What? Word Conquering Sect?" "Are they finally back?" "How many years has it been?" "I think I already know what the final item of the auction is." "I know it too." Once they knew who the seller was, all the participants knew what the final item was and everyone became excited. "I wonder whether they will resume their business consistently or not this time around." Everyone wondered only one thing whether the World Conquering Sect could sell the world cores consistently or not. ''What? Is this the same World Conquering Sect that sells the world cores?'' Unlike everyone, Ajax frowned a little as he became slightly anxious. Who would likepetition in a monopoly business? If there is another seller for the world cores, Ajax had to sell the world cores at a cheaper price to attract his customers. ''Whatever. Since I have already made a long-term contract with some cultivators, there is no need to worry.'' ording to the contract, Ajax had to give them at least one world core per month and the total quantity of the world cores should be 12, meaning he could trade with them for a year. 21:34 Whereas he could trade with the five elemental human emperors for another five years instead of one year. Therefore, Ajax didn''t have to worry much because he was not going to sell the world cores forever. He just needed to raise some funds to buy the nt essence and battleships to travel to other worlds and some other rare treasures that might catch his eyes in the future. "The final item of the auction is none other than the World Conquering Sect''s signature item, a World Core and the grade of the core is Normal Grade. The starting price is 300 million trader''s tokens." Chapter 1519 World-Conquering Sect Chapter 1519 World-Conquering Sect "The starting price of this normal world core is 300 million trader''s tokens." The beautiful subus raised her voice when stating the initial price of the Normal World core as he waited for the response from the participants. ''What? The starting price is already 300 million trader''s tokens?'' Ajax was surprised as he didn''t expect the starting price of the normal world core to be so high. ''If the starting price is 300 million trader''s tokens, it would easily touch the one billion mark, right?'' Even though that normal world core didn''t belong to him, Ajax was bing excited while muttering, ''One billion trader''s tokens.'' Zanath was a powerful cultivator; however, even he barely had one billion trader''s tokens. ''I have five normal world cores which are equivalent to having 5 billion trader''s tokens.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile when he thought about the equivalent value of the five normal world cores in his possession. ''From now on, I should not miss these monthly auctions as I have so much to learn from these auctions.'' Today, Ajax was learning about so many things and he decided to continue visiting the auction houses in the future. "350 Million trader''s tokens." "450 Million trader''s tokens." . . . . "690 Million trader''s tokens." As Ajax was in his thoughts, the bidding war for the normal world core had already started and it even reached nearly 700 million trader''s tokens within a couple of minutes. ''Come on. Go on. Let me see how much a normal world core can be sold for.'' Ajax looked at the participants who were crazy about bidding for the normal world core and revealed a slight smile. In one of the special chambers, "Yes. This is what I was waiting for. As a monopoly in the world cores business, I can make all the cultivators in this trader''s realm go crazy." An old man was sitting in the seat as he looked at the crazy participants through the ss. "Father, I think taking a break for a couple of years really made these cultivators go crazy for the first normal world core they have seen after years. Thanks to the father''s strategy, we can soon take back our past glory." Beside the old man, a middle-aged man was sitting as he revealed a slight smile and praised his father for the great business tactic. Both father and son duo were wearing some exquisite battle robes as they drank the mind-calming tea. "If not for that B*stard Aron, we would have reimed our past glory 100 years back. I hope there won''t be any problems this time in bing the number one sect in this universe." The old man revealed an annoyed look on his face when he mentioned ''Aaron'' and soon after, he was determined to reach his goal this time. "Father, don''t worry. We are much more powerful than before. Even if Aron¡­no¡­even if ten Arons are present, we can easily squash them now." The middle-aged man chuckled as he replied to his father and at the same time, he asked, "Father, aren''t you being too paranoid? We have already crushed him entirely without even leaving behind anything from both his physical body and his soul." "What do you know, my dear idiotic son? He was not called the favored son of the Universe for nothing. Every time he had a life- death situation, everyone thought he would die; however, wee miraculously survive those situations ande back alive." "Even now, I am still unable to believe that we killed him so easily." The old man ced a hand on his heart and replied to his son with a serious tone. "I have be too old and if we don''t reim our old glory, I might not achieve the breakthrough into the immortal realm." The old man continued to speak in his serious tone, "Last time, I made the mistake of not using my full strength to kill Aron in the beginning itself. I learned the hard way that sometimes killing a bug with full strength ispulsory; otherwise, that bug might transform into a behemoth that might swallow us." "Therefore, if you ever see someone try toe in our way, whether he is a peak emperor realm cultivator or a level 1 soldier realm cultivator, kill him with full force." The old man taught some of the valuable lessons he learned from the mistakes he made in his life. "Yes, father." The middle-aged man nodded his head in understanding as he assured, "I will make sure no onees in our way, father." "Everyone forgot who we really are and they are thinking that we are just known for selling the world cores. Once we reim our past glory, make sure you teach a lesson to everything that forgot about us." The old man clenched his fists as he ordered his son. ... "900 million trader''s tokens." As the father and son duo from the world-conquering sect were having a conversation in the special chamber, the bidding for the normal world core continued as it finally reached 900 million trader''s tokens. "Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher than this?" The Subus looked around and asked the participants sitting in the special chambers. At the same time, she also looked at Ajax, hoping he would raise the bid. Just earlier, Ajax raised a bid of 1.01 billion trader''s tokens; however, in the end, he didn''t buy the item. So, she hoped he would raise the bid. "I am not interested." Ajax shrugged his hands and said he was not interested, making the subus disappointed. world core. I am willing to buy it for one billion trader''s tokens." "I, the Heavenly Lion King, am very much interested in this normal Suddenly, the Heavenly Lion King showed off himself by raising the bid by 100 million trader''s tokens. "Isn''t this what makes the auction exciting? Come on, is there anyone who pays more than our Infamous Heavenly Lion King?" "1.1 Billion trader''s tokens." Suddenly, azy voice resounded from a special chamber, shocking everyone in the auction house. Chapter 1520 Deal with the Golden Demon Emperor (1) 1520 Deal with the Golden Demon Emperor (1) "1.1 billion trader''s tokens¡­isn''t it a little too extravagant?" "He could have raised just by ten million trader''s tokens; however, he increased it by 100 million trader''s tokens." "Hey¡­keep quiet. It is the Golden Demon Emperor. Even though he is a high-level trader, he would asionally put some good items like element spirit ves in the mid-level auction house." "What? He is the Golden Demon Emperor?" "Do you think he heard my words and cklisted me from buying his items in the future?" "Don''t worry, the Golden Demon Emperor doesn''t care about a puny low-level emperor realm cultivator like you." Hearing the sudden rise in the price for the normal world core, all the participants were surprised and looked at the special chamber from where the voice hade. "Our one of the richest traders has finally bid for thest item of the auction. I don''t think anyone wouldpete against him. " The Golden Demon Emperor was a famous trader in the mid-level trader''s realm and no one wanted to go against him. So, the moment they heard he bid for an item, no one bothered to bid because getting on the bad side of the Golden Demon Emperor was not a good thing for them. The beautiful subus tried to agitate the other participants into bidding against the Golden Demon Emperor; however, no one bothered to bid, making her a little disappointed. ''Nevermind, he had already raised the bid by a million trader''s tokens. If he didn''t bid it, I doubt the price would have been stuck at 1.01 billion trader''s tokens. Moreover, this normal world core beat the estimates and themission from this will get me closer to the high-level trader''s realm.'' When the beautiful subus thought about the average price and themission she would get from selling the normal world core, he was over the moon. In the past auctions, the normal world cores used to be sold around 500 million to 600 million trader''s tokens and the highest it reached was 800 million trader''s tokens and it was only once where one of the high-level traders was really in need of that normal world core. "The final item of this month''s auction goes to the Golden demon emperor." She didn''t waste any time announcing the winner of thest item before walking down the stage and leaving. ¡­.. ''Huh? He is the Golden Demon Emperor?'' On the other hand, Ajax remained in his seat as he looked at the special chamber in which the Golden Demon Emperor was sitting. Ajax was sure that it was the same Golden Demon Emperor that sent his army to invade the Purple Stone World. In the trader''s realm, only the low-level cultivators hide their identities either with mighty names or some random names; however, when ites to the powerful cultivators like Golden Demon Emperor, and Bloodline Emperor, they directly use their titles in the real life as their trader''s realm''s id. ''It looks like he had earned so much by selling the elemental spirits through the auctions.'' Ajax was not surprised that the Golden Demon Emperor could spend 1.1 billion trader''s tokens for the normal world core because he had earned so much. ''I wonder why he is spending so much though?'' What Ajax didn''t understand was, that the Golden Demon Emperor spent one billion trader''s tokens when he had already cut off his source from where he was getting the elemental spirits from. ''It looks like he is really in need of the normal world cores.'' It didn''t take much time toe to a conclusion and started thinking, ''Should I make a deal with him?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of an evil n as he looked at the special chamber. ''Even though it is a risk, I think I can still execute my n if I am careful.'' Ajax started thinking more about the evil n and tried to find out more ways to reduce the risk while executing that n. ¡­.. ''Young master, shall we go?'' Soon, Zanath transmitted his voice to Ajax from a distance. Behind him, a green-coloured elemental spirit with lifeless eyes was standing like a pir, waiting for his orders. ''Wait a second.'' Ajax asked Zanath to wait for a second as he hesitated for a moment and walked to the special chamber belonging to the Golden Demon Emperor. ''I hope he agrees to my deal '' ''Knock'' While reciting what he had to say to the Golden Demon Emperor in his head, Ajax lightly tapped on the special chamber''s door. "Come in." From inside, azy voice came as Ajax entered the special chamber. Inside the special chamber, Ajax saw a golden demon that was more powerful than the golden demons he had seen in the past. ''Other than that, he also looks scarier than the other golden demons.'' The Golden Demon Emperor had a scary face under his crown with two golden teeth protruding out of his mouth. Adding that to his red-coloured face, it was indeed scary. "Huh? Who are you?" The Golden Demon Emperor was expecting someone from the auction to enter his special chamber, bringing the Normal World Core which he won from the auction. However, what he saw was a young human around 16 years old entering his special chamber, making him frown. The Golden Demon Emperor hates the humans to the core and seeing Ajax, he was also furious and angrily said, "If you don''t want to die, get out of my special chamber." If it was anywhere else, the Golden Demon Emperor would have directly killed the young human in front of him. However, currently, they were in the auction houses of the trader''s realm. So, the Golden Demon Emperor controlled his anger and asked Ajax to leave the special chamber. "Before I go, I have a deal to offer. Why don''t you hear it before asking me to leave." However, Ajax didn''t move from his ce; instead, he said what he had prepared before entering the special chamber. "I don''t want any deal with a human like¡­" "It is regarding the world cores."

Before the Golden Demon Emperor could finish his words, Ajax interrupted him with a slight smile on his face. ''Huh?'' As Ajax expected, the Golden Demon Emperor calmed down for a moment as he looked at Ajax for a few moments before saying, "If I don''t like the deal, you have to pay me 100 million trader''s tokens. What do you say?" Even though the Golden Demon Emperor was in need of the World Cores; however, he didn''t believe that Ajax had the world cores on him. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to take any risks and regretter if Ajax really had the world cores with him. Therefore he added a condition to make Ajax serious about the deal. "What if you like the deal? Are you willing to give me the same amount of trader''s tokens you just mentioned?" Ajax asked with a slight smile, making the Golden Demon Emperor frown. ''It looks like he might have the world cores or at least he might have a way to get me some world cores.'' Seeing the confidence in Ajax''s eyes, the Golden Demon Emperor thought about it for a moment before saying, "Why not? As long as I like the deal, I might even add another 100 million trader''s tokens and give you a total of 200 million trader''s tokens." The Golden Demon Emperor was searching for world cores everywhere as he really needed them for something. Even though Ajax had already cut off his main source of ie, the Golden Demon Emperor was selling the elemental spirit ves for thest couple of decades and earned billions. So, he was willing to spend any amount of trader''s tokens as long as he got the normal world cores. "Are you sure about giving 200 million trader''s tokens?" Ajax didn''t expect the scary-looking Golden Demon Emperor would be generous enough to give him 200 million trader''s tokens that easily. "Don''t worry about the trader''s tokens, I will pay it as long as I like the deal. So, stop wasting my time and tell me what you want to say." The Golden Demon Emperor was getting impatient just from looking at Ajax as he urged Ajax to propose the deal. "Sure." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and asked, "Why don''t we enter the Special trader''s chamber before I propose the deal." ''Snap'' The Golden Demon Emperor nodded his head as he brought them into one of the special trader''s chambers with a snap. "I can provide you with a Normal World Core in a month or two." Ajax put up an act as though he hesitated before saying those words, making the Golden Demon Emperor Completely believe Ajax''s words. Of course, he knew to go back on their words after signing a deal in the Special trader''s chamber; however, Ajax''s hesitation made him believe the other party really had a normal world core. "What do you want?" The Golden Demon Emperor suppressed his shock and excitement before asking Ajax what he wanted in exchange for that Normal World Core. "Two hundred million trader''s tokens" Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and replied. "What? Only two hundred million trader''s tokens?" The Golden Demon Emperor was surprised by such a cheap price and he didn''t think much about it before saying, "I will pay it in advance right now; however, you should give the Normal World Core in two months." Since the other party said it would take a month or two to get his hands on the normal world core, the Golden Demon Emperor set a deadline of two months. "Hold on¡­hold on. When did I say I will be selling a normal world core at that price?" However, Ajax stopped the Golden Demon Emperor and corrected him, "Did you forget your earlier words? As long as you are interested in the deal, you will pay me the Two hundred million trader''s tokens." "..." The Golden Demon Emperor froze for a moment when he heard Ajax''s words and only then did he realises something. "Here." Nevertheless, since his chances of getting a normal world core are high, the Golden Demon Emperor didn''t think much about the 200 million trader''s tokens as it was spare change for him. Soon, the words made up of mist appeared in front of Ajax''s eyes. After reading the lines, Ajax agreed to receive and in the next second his total bnce appeared in the ce of those words. With just a few words, Ajax had earned 200 million trader''s tokens, making him reveal an excited smile; however, he suppressed it and didn''t show it in front of the Golden Demon Emperor. ''I am acting as a young master of a powerful family from a Greater Human World.'' Ajax reminded himself about the role he was currently ying and put on a cool look on his face before saying, "Since I got the money for my spirit beast''s single meal, now, let''s talk about the deal." "So, How much are you going to pay me?" Ajax didn''t quote a price himself; instead, he asked the Golden Demon Emperor what he was willing to pay for the normal world core. "One Billion Trader''s tokens." The Golden Demon Emperor didn''t even think for a second as he directly said he would pay one billion trader''s tokens. "I will pay 500 million trader''s tokens right now as an advance payment and the remaining money will be transferred to you after you deliver the normal world core." The Golden Demon Emperor didn''t give any time for Ajax to think as he directly transferred 500 million trader''s tokens to Ajax. ''What the¡­'' Looking at the words in front of him, Ajax was shocked. Chapter 1522 Spoiled Young Master Ajax Chapter 1522 Spoiled Young Master Ajax Ajax had never expected that the Golden Demon Emperor would be so fast in making a deal with him. He had only asked the Golden Demon Emperor what he would be trading in exchange for the normal world core; however, the other party announced a hefty price and even transferred 50 percent of the amount as an advance. ''Looks like the Golden Demon Emperor''s need for the world core is much higher than I thought.'' Even though he had already guessed that the Golden Demon Emperor would pay so much for the world core, only now did Ajax realize how crazy the other party was in getting the world core. ''I think I can execute my n without any worries.'' Nevertheless, Ajax thought that the Golden Demon Emperor''s need for the world cores would only help him in executing his n wlessly. "Wait a second¡­.Golden Demon Emperor." Aftering to the conclusion, Ajax looked at the words formed from the mist for a moment before asking the Golden Demon Emperor to wait. "What is it? You are not satisfied with one billion trader''s tokens?" The Golden Demon Emperor frowned when he saw Ajax didn''t ept the 500 million trader''s tokens as an advance payment for their deal. The average price of a normal world core was only 500 to 600 million trader''s tokens; however, he was already offering double that price. Hence, the Golden Demon Emperor was expecting Ajax to ept the deal with great excitement; however, the young man in front of him was calm, making him frown a little. "One billion trader''s tokens is a good offer." Ajax nodded his head as he said the offer was good for a normal world core. ''If the other party was saying the offer was good then what''s stopping him from epting the money and sealing the deal?'' The Golden Demon Emperor silently thought in his head before asking Ajax, "Then what is it that you want?" "The deal is good; however, do I look like someone whocks the money?" Ajax''s attitude was that of a young master from a powerful family as he replied to the Golden Demon Emperor, "If I want, I can easily sell this world core to the Bloodline Emperor who was also willing to offer one billion trader''s tokens." Ajax used the name of his master to make the Golden Demon Emperor raise his brows. "However, I need something else other than one billion trader''s tokens. As long as you can give me that, I will give you a normal world core in less than 45 days." Seeing that the Golden Demon Emperor was thinking about his offer, Ajax revealed what he wanted from the Golden Demon Emperor, "I just need a smaller demon world along with that one billion trader''s tokens and I am happy to give you the normal world core." "A smaller demon world?" The Golden Demon Emperor frowned when he heard the additional thing that Ajax wanted aside from one billion trader''s tokens. "Yes. I am currently in need of a smaller demon world and I heard among the five famous demon emperors in this universe, you are the only one with thousands of smaller demon worlds under your control." Ajax nodded his head. That''s right! Among the five demon emperors, the Golden Demon Emperor was the richest one and taking advantage of his richness, he grew more powerful than the other demon emperors. ording to the demon treaty, the strongest demon emperor would get more territory. More territory means more worlds under their control and more worlds under their control, the more powerful and richer they would be. ''Why is he asking for a smaller demon world?'' Even though giving away a smaller demon world was not a big deal for the Golden Demon Emperor, he was curious about why a human needs a smaller demon world. "You must be curious about my request for a smaller demon world, right?" Ajax saw that the Golden Demon Emperor was thinking about something and asked with a slight smile on his face. "Yes." Even if the other party didn''t exin why he needed a smaller demon world, the Golden Demon Emperor would havepleted the deal without any hesitation. Nevertheless, the other party seemed like he would be telling it. So, the Golden Demon Emperor nodded his head. "My grandfather asked me to conquer a world and create my own legion. And, I am veryzy to go and conquer smaller worlds. Therefore, I am looking for powerful emperors who could give me a smaller world and protect me until I create my own force for a few decades." Ajax gave a reason that he nned before meeting the Golden Demon Emperor. "What? You also need me to protect you for a couple of decades?" The Golden Demon Emperor finally understood that the young man in front of him was azy young master of a powerful family who wanted to create his own force. "Didn''t I mention that before? My bad¡­now, I will mention it. I need a smaller demon world where you have to provide me with a few of your demon apostles to protect me¡­no¡­I mean to protect the world." Ajax informed his conditions once again as he continued, "With the treasures, my mother secretly gave me behind my grandfather''s back, I can easily escape no matter what kind of dangerous situation I am in." "I just have to send some apostles to protect the smaller demon world that I will be giving you, is that it?" Suddenly, the Golden Demon Emperor felt he had found a treasure trove and wanted to exploit him. ''He really looks like a spoiled young master of a powerful family. He even came alone to make a deal with me instead of sending his servants to keep this thing a secret from his grandfather.'' The Golden Demon Emperor was really excited about exploiting Ajax in the future as much as possible. "However, I still have doubts. Why would you make a deal with a deal? There are so many powerful human emperors who have more worlds than me. Why didn''t you go to them?" Chapter 1523 Confidentiality Agreement Chapter 1523 Confidentiality Agreement Even though the Golden Demon Emperorpletely believed that Ajax was a spoiled young master from a powerful family, he still wanted to confirm beforepleting the trade. 1 He wanted to know exactly why the young man chose to trade with a Demon Emperor when there were a dozen other emperors in this universe. "Why do you think so?" How could Ajax not think that the Golden Demon Emperor would ask such a question? He had nned everything and it included an answer to this question too. With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied, "Imagine if I own a smaller demon world and develop my forces in it? Isn''t it the talk of the universe? At that time, I will be more famous than the young masters from the other powerful families." While saying that, Ajax''s eyes shone brightly as though he was really excited about bing famous in the entire universe. It was a known fact that the humans and the demons are arch enemies and if a human owns a smaller demon world, it would be an achievement that was worth talking to. ''Huh? Does he want to be famous just by owning a smaller demon world? What a fool!'' When the Golden Demon Emperor heard Ajax''s reason for trading with a Demon Emperor like him, the Golden Demon Emperor could not help but scoff. ''Thinking about this, he will definitely be famous¡­.famous for being a good for nothing¡­hehe.'' The Golden Demon Emperor could not help but chuckle in his heart. "Of course, you will be famous. So, shall we sign the contract now?" Seeing that a rich and spoiled young master had fallen into his hands, the Golden Demon Emperor urged Ajax to sign the deal. "Sure, let''s discuss these conditions in detail." Soon, Ajax and the Golden Demon Emperor talked more and after both parties were satisfied with the terms and conditions, they both signed the contract. "So, how long will it take for the Golden Demon Emperor to evacuate the residents of the smaller demon world?" With a slight smile, Ajax asked the Golden Demon Emperor. "Since it will be a mass evacuation of an entire world, it would take around 15-20 days. In the meanwhile, I request a manager from the Trader''s Realm to directly teleport you to that world." After thinking for a moment, the Golden Demon Emperor replied to Ajax. "Good. Then I will enter my Smaller Demon World after 45 days and on the same day, I will give you a normal world core. What do you say?" "Sure." Since they already signed the contract, both Ajax and the Golden Demon Emperor were worried that the other party would fail to keep their promise. So, they were happy and left the special trader''s chamber with happy smiles. ... ''I wonder which powerful family that young man belongs to. Since he was able to bring out a normal world core, it must be one of the first-order families of the universe.'' After leaving the special trader''s chambers, the Golden Demon Emperor could not help but be excited at the thought of exploiting the spoiled young master in the future. ''Since our first deal has been signed in the special trader''s chamber, I willplete it without using any underhanded methods.'' Even if the Golden Demon Emperor wants, he could not use underhanded methods when ites to deals from the special trader''s chambers. Therefore the Golden Demon Emperor decided toplete the first trade properly because he always had his own ways to exploit the young man. ''Anyway, I just don''t want to lose an opportunity to get a normal world core. As long as I get another three normal world cores, I will find a way to ascend to the Immortal Realm and leave this Universe.'' The Golden Demon Emperor became excited as he silently thought of his goal of bing an immortal realm cultivator which was the next realm after the Emperor realm. ... After leaving the Golden Demon Emperor''s chamber, Ajax checked the number of trader''s tokens he had in his ount. ''After 45 days, I will get another 500 million trader''s tokens.'' Ajax was excited about the deal he had made with the Golden Demon Emperor and thought, ''He thinks he can fool me but in the end, he will be the one to get fooled.'' ''ording to his n, the first step has been executed wlessly and as long as I am careful, executing the remaining two steps won''t be a problem.'' Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he turned to take onest look at the special chamber in which the Golden Demon Emperor was sitting and quietly left. Soon, Ajax met Zanath and the emperor realm elemental spirit ve that they bought using more than a billion trader''s tokens. "Young master, where did you go?" Zanath asked Ajax with a calm look. "Just made a deal with someone. For now, I can''t reveal about the deal due to the confidentiality agreement between me and the other party; however, I can tell you it is a good deal." Ajax replied with an excited look on his face, making Zanath nod his head in understanding. Zanath has not doubted Ajax''s words because most traders maintain a confidentiality agreement between them in order to avoid trouble. "There is no need for you to tell me about the deal." Zanath shook his head and replied, "Here is the elemental spirit ve that you asked for. Please take good care of him and don''t abuse him like the other races." "Yes, Zanath. Thanks for buying him for me." Ajax thanked Zanath because if not for him, Ajax would have sold his normal world core and he would have be famous for it. "Since you are the disciple of the Master''s sworn brother, it is the least I can do for you." With a slight smile on his handsome face, Zanath replied, "Anyway, your master has asked me to bring you to him." Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

Add to library£¡ vinayraj CREATOR''S THOUGHT New Story on Patreon Chapter 1524 Cultivation Zone Chapter 1524 Cultivation Zone "Master?" 1 Ajax was surprised for a moment and nodded. ''It''s been a while since I met the master. Let''s go and meet him.'' Ajax thought before following Zanath to a special area in the "Zanath, what is this ce? The essence of nature is pure and those buildings¡­don''t tell me those belong to the cultivators." Looking at his surroundings, Ajax could not help but ask Zanath about the buildings and the essence of nature. He was not surprised much by the essence of nature; however, what surprised him the most was the buildings that looked like the residence of the cultivators. "This is the ''cultivation grounds'' of the mid-level trader''s level where you can cultivate at the same speed as an average Greater World." Zanath pointed at a few cultivators sitting cross-legged in the distance and exined it in more detail, "There were many emperor realm cultivators from the normal grade worlds like our Purple stone world. This special is specially made for them. So that, they could cultivate here in their spirit consciousness form without leaving their world." As the emperor of the world, he might have great power; however, with great poweres great responsibility. An emperor''s responsibility was to protect his world from the invading forces. So, almost all the emperors of the normal worlds would not dare to leave their world because without their world they would be an average emperor among the millions of emperor realm cultivators in this universe. "So, instead of entering the Greater Worlds, the emperors of the normal worlds and the cultivators who could not travel to the others would rent a spot here and cultivate. Since this area is close to that area, the essence of nature in this area is also a little bit purerpared to the rest of the mid-level trader''s realm." Zanath exined the pure essence of nature in the area they entered. ''I wonder how pure the essence of nature is in this ce.'' The essence of nature in the area they were walking was already so pure. Hence, Ajax wondered about the purity of the essence of nature in that area. "What about the buildings?" Nevertheless, his interest in residential buildings was morepared to that. So, he asked Zanath about it. "As for the buildings, as long as you buy one of those buildings, you will get a permanent cultivation spot in that area. Most of the emperors of the normal worlds could buy them and live here for most of the time to cultivate." Ajax understood and felt it was a good innovation and business model for the owner of the trader''s realm. "Do you want to buy one?" They continued to walk towards one of the buildings as Zanath asked Ajax whether he wanted to buy a building. "No. I am already busy with things in the outside world." Mid-level trader''s realm. Ajax thought of buying one of the buildings just to test the purity of the essence of nature and how beneficial it would be for him; however, when he realized that he would be too busy to stay in the Mid-level trader''s realm. He had formed some deals with the cultivators from various worlds and at the same time, he was nning to upgrade his strength to the Emperor realm as soon as possible. To do that, he needed so many smaller world cores and he already decided to go all out and collect as many smaller world cores as possible until the system finishes its upgrade. Therefore, he directly replied that he would not be buying a living residence in the Mid-level trader''s realm. "Even though you don''t want to buy it now, you might want to buy it in the future." Zanath didn''t expect such a reply from Ajax; however, he knew Ajax needed a living residence in the mid-level trader''s realm because they were from the same world where the essence of nature was not so pure. "Huh? Why is it?" Ajax frowned at Zanath''s words. "Because there are other benefits in buying a living residence in the mid-level traders'' realm and if you want to buy a living residence on a whim, it would be impossible as it would cost a lot of trader''s tokens." Zanath revealed a slight smile and exined, "The emperors of the normal worlds umte the trader''s tokens for decades to buy one of those buildings. So, it is better to start preparing funds buildings." Ajax''s interest piqued as he heard about the living residences in the for a living residence as early as possible." "Huh? Other benefits? And it takes decades to buy one of those buildings." Ajax''s interest piqued as he heard about the living residences in the mid-level trader''s realm. "Yes. The benefits other than getting a permanent cultivation spot in the ''Cultivation Zone'' include the ten percent discount on all the items you buy and sell through the auction house, the trader can get¡­.." Zanath listed a ton of benefits that the trader''s realm gives to the owner of a residence building, making Ajax surprised. "There are so many benefits. I think it is really worth buying a house then." After hearing all the benefits, Ajax felt even if he didn''t live in the trader''s realm more often, it was worth buying for the additional benefits that could give him. ''Since I will be buying more and more items from the auction house from now on, I need that 10 percent discount along with the other benefits.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he asked, ''What is the price then?'' "It costs 25 billion trader''s tokens only." After saying the price, Zanath looked at Ajax''s facial expressions to see how he would react. "25 billion trader''s tokens are¡­.a little too much." Ajax was already expecting the price to be high; however, he didn''t expect it to be 15 billion higher than he thought. "Of course, it is too much. That''s why I asked you to start preparing for the funds to buy a living residence." Zanath nodded before saying, "There is another special benefit that I didn''t mention to you." "A special benefit?" Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation! Creation is hard, cheer me up! I tagged this book,e and support me with a thumbs up! vinayraj CREATOR''S THOUGHT New Story on Patreon Chapter 1525 Meeting the Bloodline Emperor Chapter 1525 Meeting the Bloodline Emperor "A special benefit?" 1 Ajax raised his brows and asked about it. "If you buy a living residence in the mid-level trader''s realm, you can exchange it for a living residence in the high-level trader''s realm. Of course, you still have to pay 50 percent of the value of the living residence in the high-level trader''s realm." "50 percent discount on exchange of the living residence between the mid-level and high-level trader''s realm?" Ajax''s eyes brightened when he heard the special benefit of buying the building in the mid-level trader''s realm. ''He is already interested in buying?'' Zanath thought Ajax would be still dissatisfied with the benefits, which is why he was intentionally hiding a couple of things that would definitely satisfy Ajax in buying a living residence in the mid-level trader''s realm. ''However, that''s not the most interesting part.'' 1 Nevertheless, since Ajax was already interested in buying a living residence with a value of 25 billion trader''s tokens, Zanath could only reveal the things he was hiding from Ajax. "Huh? There are more?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised by Zanath''s words and listened carefully to him. "The minimum cost of living residence in the high-level trader''s realm is 100 billion trader''s tokens. If you have a living residence in the mid-level trader''s realm, you will be paying only 75 billion trader''s tokens. Moreover, the discounts on all the items you buy from the auction houses will be 25 percent off." "So, it is a good investment then." Ajax finally understood why Zanath was urging him to start umting the trader''s tokens in buying the living residence. "Yes. If you start umting the trader''s tokens from now on, you might be able to save the required funds to buy the living residence in the mid-level trader''s realm within five years." Zanath revealed a slight smile as he gave a suggestion to Ajax. "25 billion trader''s tokens, right? I will earn it as soon as possible." If it was a couple of days ago, Ajax would have already given up on buying a living residence in the trader''s realm; however, things have changed and as long as he worked hard, he could earn 25 billion trader''s tokens in less than a year. ''I just need to sell 25 normal world cores which mean 250 smaller world cores. Since I can get around 50- 60 smaller world cores in a month without a problem, it will take less than five months.'' Ajax made a rough calction in his head, ''However, I have to focus on my cultivation, have toplete the deals with the Blood Vampire King and others. So, let''s set one year as a deadline to buy the living residence.'' For the regr emperors of the normal worlds, it would take selling the world cores. Since he would be going all out in his world-conquering mission, he would get some good treasures and decades to umte such wealth; however, for Ajax, it only takes a few months. However, he was not nning to make the money solely from selling the world cores. Since he would be going all out in his world-conquering mission, he would get some good treasures and at the same time, he could also sell the weapons refined by his dwarves whose weapon refining skills were growing at an excellent speed. ''As long as I am focused, I can make money in multiple ways. So, let''s not bother much about it and think about it after a few months.'' Right now, Ajax already has so much on his tter and decided to stop thinking about more things. "This is my living residence." Soon, they reached a huge building and Zanath informed Ahax that it was his building. "Oh" Ajax was not surprised that Zanath owns a building because he was saying about all the benefits and even urging him to buy one. So, it would be surprised when someone suggests others when they themselves are not following. Just like any other living residences in the mid-level trader''s realm, Zanath''s building was also majestic. The buildings were not so tall or so short and looked simple yet majestic. Soon, they entered the building without wasting any time and saw an old man in blood-red battle robes sitting on a floating que. "My disciple has be famous overnight in the mid-level trader''s realm." Seeing Ajax, the old man said in an emotionless tone, "Even a few cultivators from the high-level trader''s realm are talking about you. Do you want to exin it?" Before Ajax could say anything, the old man pointed his finger at Zanath and asked, "As for you, when did y be so rich that you casually spent more than one billion trader''s tokens on an elemental spirit ve?" The old man was none other than the Bloodline Emperor Mostror. "Sir, you already knew how poor I am. It''s just that I wanted to gift something to your disciple." Zanath already expected to get scolded by the Bloodline Emperor. So, he hurriedly replied without thinking much. "Huh? You are spoiling him by giving him such valuable gifts? You already know how hard it is to earn one billion trader''s tokens and yet you are spending it carelessly." "Master, I needed to spend around one billion trader''s tokens on buying any items from the auction house to ascend to the high-level trader''s realm; however, as you know there are hardly any things that pique my interest." Zanath gave an exnation, "Since I have to spend on something, I decided to spend it on the young master." "Sigh¡­Zanath, you should buy some things for yourself. At this rate, I am worrying you might be a cultivation monk." The old man shook his head and looked at Ajax. ''Huh?'' Suddenly, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror noticed something in Ajax that made him frown. ''What is that?'' ''Swoosh'' Without wasting anything, he controlled his floating que to fly towards Ajax and ced his hand on Ajax''s head. "Master, what is it?" Ajax was confused by his master''s actions and asked what he was doing. "Keep quiet." However, Mostror asked him to be quiet, "Did you awaken two Bloodlines by consuming my Bloodline awakening potion?" "Two Bloodlines?" Chapter 1526 Fifth Bloodline Chapter 1526 Fifth Bloodline "Two Bloodlines?" 1 Ajax was confused when he heard Elder Boron''s words because he had awakened only one new bloodline. He already knew that his master could see the Bloodlines of other cultivators with a single look because of his vast knowledge regarding the bloodlines. Moreover, no one exactly knows how many bloodlines he had awakened. Some say, he awakened five, some say 10 and there were even some cultivators who believed that Mostror had 24 bloodlines. Therefore, he gained the title of Bloodline Emperor. "Yes. You have two new bloodlines in your body since Ist saw you." The Bloodline Emperor Mostror observed Ajax closely and confirmed that Ajax had two new bloodlines in his body. "It looks like even the Bloodline Emperor makes mistakes regarding the bloodline." With a slight smile, Ajax replied to the Bloodline Emperor. The thing is, if there is really another bloodline, Ajax would have felt it just like how he feels the other bloodlines. Moreover, even if he could not feel that bloodline, at least the system would have informed him about it. Therefore, Ajax concluded that there was no new bloodline in his body other than the bloodlines he felt. ''Flick'' In reply to hisment about Bloodline Emperor''s mistake, Ajax got a finger flicked to his forehead. "Aargh¡­master." Even though it looked like he lightly touched Ajax''s forehead, Ajax felt incredible pain. "When ites to bloodlines, I will never make any mistake." After saying those words, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror took a red-coloured sparkling powder out of thin air and blew it at Ajax. ''Swoosh'' The moment the red-coloured sparkling powder touched Ajax''s body, it disappeared as though it entered his body. ''Swish'' In the next second, Ajax''s body started glowing with a red halo. "Master, why is my body glowing?" Ajax was not worried that his master was doing something evil; instead, he felt curious about his glowing body and asked his master about it. "Wait a second." However, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror didn''t exin anything as he asked Ajax to wait. ''...'' Ajax was speechless; however, he continued to wait. ''Swoosh'' Soon, four phantom''s appeared above Ajax''s head, making him shocked. "Master, what are they?" Ajax looked at the four phantoms above his head and hurriedly asked his master about it. "My idiotic disciple, look closely, they are your bloodlines." "Huh? My bloodlines?" Ajax raised his brows and looked at them with full focus. The four phantoms looked different from one another and unique in their own way. The first phantom was covered with pitch ck-coloured mist in which a humanoid with an ancient beast head and a mysterious staff. The second phantom was surrounded by a blue-coloured mist with a muscr dragonkin that was full of dragon scales. The third one was covered in a white-coloured mist and it looked like slime splitting into multiple slimes and merging back into a single slime. As for thest one, there the phantom was much bigger than the remaining three phantoms and it was a ferocious-looking dragon that was covered in a purple-coloured. "The first one is Abyssal beast god bloodline, the blue coloured muscr dragonkin represents Aqua dragon bloodline, the slime in phantoms that appeared above Ajax''s head. "Did I say everything correctly?" the whist mist must be Elemental Spirit Merger Bloodline." "As for this fourth phantom, it is the most powerful bloodline, the Undying dragon god''s bloodline." Soon, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror exined about the four phantoms that appeared above Ajax''s head. "Did I say everything correctly?" With a smirk, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror asked Ajax. "Master, you are really so knowledgable regarding the bloodlines." Ajax was shocked when he heard his master say all the names of the bloodline he had awakened by looking at the phantoms. He had never told the names of his bloodlines to everyone and other than the system, no one knows about it. Hence, Ajax finally understood how vast knowledge his master had regarding the bloodlines. "However, I still didn''t forget that the master has mistaken that I have another bloodline." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked his master, "Master, I have only four bloodlines and you imed I had five bloodlines earlier. ept that you have mistaken it." "Haha¡­you brat really think you got me?" In reply, Mostror chuckled as he lightly tapped Ajax''s forehead a couple of times and soon, another phantom started materializing above his head beside the four already existing phantoms. "What? Another Bloodline?" This time Ajax was shocked because he was confident that he didn''t awaken two new bloodlines; instead, it was only the Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline. The Bloodline Emperor Mostror was researching the Bloodlines and learned so many things. He even found a way to check the unawakened bloodlines that could awaken with a little push. "This bloodline is not awakened yet and the moment it awakens, it will be your new strongest bloodline." With a slight smile, the Bloodline Emperor continued, "As long as you request me, I can help you awaken the bloodline sooner." "So, are you going to start requesting me soon?" Mostror wanted to y with him for some time. Moreover, he said his master had mistaken the bloodlines. ''Let''s see whether he will request my help or will his egoe in the way?'' Even though Mostror was behaving like he wanted to toy with Ajax, in reality, he was teaching a lesson to Ajax. Between a master and a disciple, there should be no difference and things like anger, ego and jealousy should not be present. ''As long as I be powerful there is no need to hesitate in asking for my master''s help.'' When ites to things like requesting others for their help, Ajax didn''t hesitate in asking. Moreover, the other party was his master and requesting his help in awakening a powerful bloodline was nothing for Ajax. Therefore, he was ready to do it. "Master, ple¡­." ''Ding, The system detected a new unawakened bloodline. ''Ding, The bloodline will be automatically awakened when the host bes an Emperor realm cultivator. ''What? Automatically awakened?'' Chapter 1527 Solutions for complex problems lies in simple things Chapter 1527 Solutions forplex problems lies in simple things ''What? Automatically awakened?'' Before Ajax could request his master for help in awakening his fifth bloodline, he received two system notifications, making him a little surprised. It wasmon knowledge in this universe that forcefully awakening a bloodline requires a lot of resources. Therefore, when Ajax saw that the bloodline will be awakened automatically, he was pleasantly surprised. "Go on. Why did you stop your words in the middle?" The Bloodline Emperor asked Ajax toplete his words so that Mostror could help him in awakening his bloodline. "I don''t mind requesting the master for his help." After seeing the system notification, Ajax didn''t ask for the Bloodline Emperor''s help directly instead, he informed that he would request the master''s help. "However, before I do that, I have a question for you, master." Ajax wanted to ask something before requesting his master''s help. "What is it?" Mostror frowned at Ajax''s words; however, he still asked about it. "How long will it take for the master to awaken my bloodline and how many resources will it cost you?" Since the bloodline would be awakened automatically when he reached Emperor Realm, Ajax didn''t want his master to waste his resources if it required many resources in awakening his bloodline. ''Moreover, for the time being, I will not be confronting any powerful cultivators and only nurture myself while retrieving the world cores.'' Ajax had already decided to not rashly fight anyone and the most important thing for him was to reach the emperor''s realm. At the same time, his secondary goal was to be a rich cultivator where he could buy anything he wanted without thinking about the cost. "Huh?" Hearing Ajax''s question, the Bloodline Emperor raised his brows for a moment before feeling touched and thought, ''What a filial disciple! He is already worried about wasting my time and resources.'' Ajax didn''t want to waste his master''s resources because he had already found a better option; however, if the system had not informed him that he could automatically awaken the bloodline, he would have not bothered about bleeding his master''s resources. "Don''t worry about it. I, your master, don''tck any funds." Mostror had been in the trader''s realm for a couple of centuries and it would be shocking if he didn''t umte enough money and resources. So, he asked Ajax to not worry about it. "Master, please tell me about it because I know a way to awaken the bloodline without using any resources on it." Ajax shook his head and asked Mostror to answer his question. Moreover, he even informed me that he found a way to awaken the bloodline. Of course, he didn''t mention anything about the system. ''Huh? You found a way to awaken the bloodline without using anything?'' The Bloodline Emperor was shocked and hurriedly replied, "There is no way one can awaken a bloodline without spending anything unless you were enlightened by the heavens." As an expert in the bloodlines, Mostror had never heard of anyone awakening a bloodline without spending any cultivation resources. On the side, Zanath was also shocked and looked at Ajax with an interesting look on his face, wondering whether what he said was true or not. From the time his master Aron had died, Zanath spent most of his time with his master''s sworn brother, the bloodline emperor Mostror. So, he knew a thing or two about awakening a bloodline. ''From the serious expression on his face, I don''t think he is lying.'' Zanath became more and more interested in how Ajax would be awakening a bloodline without spending any resources. Therefore, he was waiting to see whether it was really possible. "It has nothing to do with enlightenment." Ajax shook his head and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "As long as I be an Emperor Realm cultivator, I can awaken the bloodline without using any resources." "Huh? An increase in the cultivation would awaken the Bloodline?" Suddenly, Mostror''s head was filled with endless possibilities using the entire knowledge he had gathered about the bloodlines. "Even though it is hard, I think it is possible." After a few minutes, Mostror had a big smile on his face as he muttered, "Why did I never connect the awakening of the bloodlines with the breakthrough in the cultivation?" Sometimes the problems with big questions lie in small things and all we have to do is think. When the Bloodline Emperor Mostror realized this, he felt, ''I still have so much to learn about the bloodlines. I am trying to learn the mostplex things about the bloodline; however, there are so many simple things I have missed.'' "Awakening the bloodline through the breakthrough is a good idea; however, it will take quite some time for you to reach the Emperor realm, right?" The Bloodline Emperor Mostror wanted nothing but to rush into seclusion to research more about the bloodlines. However, he wanted to ask a few questions and talk about a few things. After today, who knows when they will be meeting again? So, he decided to spend some time with his one and only disciple. "Moreover, you have already broken through to the mid-level king realm in a short span. If you rush your cultivation, you might develop inner demons at the major realm breakthroughs." At the same time, he also warned that Ajax''s cultivation speed was so fast and suggested he needed to be careful with his cultivation. "I know it will take years if not a decade." Ajax nodded his head and assured, "I am not rushing things; instead, I am already taking it slow." He had already met the requirements to be the high-level king realm cultivator; however, he was waiting for a Greater World Core. As long as he could merge one Greater World core from the low-ranked world core, he decided to upgrade his cultivation. "Oh. I hope you know what you are doing." Mostror didn''t say much about his cultivation as every cultivator follows their own path. "Since you are not asking for any resources to awaken our bloodline, take this one billion trader''s tokens and spend it wisely." Chapter 1528 Alternative for retrieving the world core Chapter 1528 Alternative for retrieving the world core Coming out of Zanath''s house, Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction. ''Since the master was giving me one billion trader''s tokens with so much love, there is no reason to reject it. Unlike the Bloodline Emperor Mostror''s help in awakening his fifth bloodline, Ajax didn''t reject the one billion trader''s tokens because it would save him some trouble in umting them. ''I have gained so much during this trip in the trader''s realm.'' With a satisfied smile on his face, Ajax went to meet his friend in the low-level trader''s realm to have a conversation with him. Soon after, he left the trader''s realm as he nned to take care of the things in the real world. ''Ding, The exploration team one, three and five has conquered smaller demon worlds and is standing by for the host to retrieve the world core. As soon as he exited the trader''s realm, Ajax received the system notification. Hearing that he was not excited; instead, he was a little tired. ''System, is there a way for me where I don''t have to retrieve the world cores again and again?'' While asking that, Ajax entered one of the conquered smaller demon worlds to retrieve the world core. The thing is, let''s say Ajax was doing something and because of the world core retrieval, he had to pause whatever he was doing and retrieve the world core. It was only a five-minute work; however, he had to do it for eight exploration teams and for the eleven devourer eagle kings. Moreover, if he didn''t retrieve the world core, the exploration teams and the devourer eagle kings had to waste their time in the smaller worlds. Therefore, Ajax asked the system whether there was any alternative for him. ''Ding, There is a way for the host to not personally retrieve the world cores. ''What? There is a way?'' Even though he asked the system, Ajax was really not expecting an answer from it because it was still under the upgrade. After retrieving the world core, Ajax hurriedly asked the system about it. ''Ding. The host has to upgrade his Demonic Avatar to the Legend grade and let it take care of entering the conquered worlds to retrieve the world core. ''Huh? Upgrading my Demonic Avatar?'' However, currently, it didn''t have much use as Ajax could move between the worlds freely with the 01:14 help of the Teleportation circles. Ajax raised his brows as he thought about his Demonic Avatar which was used as amunicator between him and the tribes in the Five Elemental World. However, currently, it didn''t have much use as Ajax could move between the worlds freely with the help of the Teleportation circles. If it was urgent, he could directly teleport to the Five Elemental World with a single thought thanks to his title [Emperor of the Worlds]. ''How do I upgrade it?'' Ajax thought about it for a moment and realised that now he had a world full of weapon-refiners and artifact-makers. ''Even though there were only a handful of grey dwarves that could refine the legend grade items and the artifacts, I think they could do it.'' Ajax didn''t have much knowledge on the weapon-refining or artifact-maker; however, he knew one thing for sure it was not impossible for the grey dwarves to upgrade a peak-heaven grade artifact to a legend grade aritfact. ''I think I have to ask them and find out whether they could do it or not?'' Soon, Ajax finished retrieving the world cores for the three conquered smaller demon worlds and called for a meeting with some grey dwarves. ¡­.. In the Protector''s ce, the Grey Dwarf world, Ajax was sitting in the main seat and five grey dwarves were sitting on each side. These ten grey dwarves were the ones who could refine the legend-grade weapons and artifacts. Even though they have only be legend-grade weaponsmiths recently, Ajax trusted that if they all worked together, it wouldn''t be a problem for upgrading the grade of his demonic avatar. "Protector, let us see the Demonic Avatar." "Yes, Protector. Only after seeing the avatar, we could tell whether it was possible or not." "Also, different demonic avatars require different materials to upgrade it." After hearing Ajax''s request, all grey dwarves asked Ajax to show them the Demonic Avatar for them to see. "I am the master''s avatar. Please upgrade my grade." Soon, a demonic Ajax walked from one of the halls as he introduced himself to the grey dwarves. "Master, we can upgrade it." Rurbeak, the youngest grey dwarf that Ajax saved when he first visited this world, stood up and assured Ajax after taking a single look at the demonic avatar. "Really? You can do it?" Ajax was surprised as he didn''t expect the special grey dwarf to be so confident in upgrading the demonic avatar. Even though he was special, he was also the youngest among all the dwarves. The other grey dwarves were all old and looked experienced. So, Ajax was really not expecting Rurbeak to assure him. "Yes, Master; however, I need to have some really expensive materials to upgrade his grade to legend grade." Rurbeak hurriedly nodded his head and assured Ajax once again. Unlike the other grey dwarves, Rurbeak was different and wanted to repay Ajax for saving him when his own kind was trying to sacrifice him. "We are happy to assist him, Protector." Unlike Rurbeak, the other grey dwarves were not as confident as him; however, they decided to assist Rurbeak even before Ajax could order them. "Good." Ajax was satisfied with the behaviour of the grey dwarves. When he first entered the Grey Dwarf World, Ajax had a bad opinion of them; however,ter on, he observed that they were much more united than he thought. ''They are one of the most united races I have ever seen.'' Ajax silently gave ament about the grey dwarf race and asked the young dwarf, "So, what type of materials do you need?" Soon, Rurbeak gave a list of materials to Ajax, which made his jaws drop. Chapter 1529 Nightmare Fiends Fur Chapter 1529 Nightmare Fiend''s Fur "A demon king''s heart." "A piece of Ghastly silver." . . . "Nightmare fiend''s fur." "100 units of the Nether essence." Rurbeak nearly said the names of the twelve items in a single breath, making Ajax and the remaining nine old dwarves look at him in a new light. Even though they knew about all the items that Rurbeak mentioned, they didn''t think of using them to upgrade the demonic avatar. "Young is bound to surpass the Old." "Young ones these days are born intelligent." The old grey dwarvesmented with mixed emotions; however, they were happy for Rurbeak because he was one of them. The more he improves his weapon refining skills, the better it is for their world and their race. "Master, we already have all the items except for thest two items. If you provide me with those two items, I can start the refinement of your demonic avatar." Seeing the shocked look on Ajax''s face, Rurbeak hurriedly informed him. "Phew¡­only two items. Good." Ajax thought about the two items that are unable for the Grey dwarves of this world. ''I can get the Nightmare fiend''s fur from the Nightmare fiend I met in the trader''s realm.'' Without thinking much, Ajax already found the source of one item. ''As for the other item, I have to search for it in the trader''s realm. I hope thisher essence is not as rare as the nt essence; otherwise, I have to waste so much time retrieving the world cores.'' However, Ajax felt it was not a rare item and he could find it with some little effort. "I will let you know once I find the two items. You better be ready with the remaining items and start the upgradation of my demonic avatar." "Yes, Master." After giving his orders, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he went back to the trader''s realm and started his search for theher essence. ''Damn it¡­why is thisher essence so rare just like the nt essence?'' Only after searching the entire low-level and mid-level trader''s realm, did Ajax realise how to race theher essence and cursed his luck. ''It looks like I ran out of my luck these days.'' Ajax shook his head in disappointment. ''Anyway, let''s collect the other item.'' Even though it might take some time to find theher essence, Ajax decided to collect the second item he came for. ''Let''s hope he won''t ask too many questions and give me the fur.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax sent a message to the nightmare fiend. Earlier, when they formed a deal, Ajax had added everyone to his friends'' list including the Golden Demon Emperor. ''Just because adding someone as friends in the trader''s realm doesn''t mean they are real friends.'' There was no way Ajax would be friends with the Golden Demon Emperor and the Astral Demon Emperor for multiple reasons. The reason why he added them to his friends'' list was that it was the only way he couldmunicate with them regarding their deals. So, there was no way for Ajax to avoid it. Soon, Ajax got a reply from the Nightmare fiend. From his reply, he looked suspicious of Ajax. ''...'' Seeing the reply from the nightmare fiend, Ajax was speechless. ''Let it be. I will just inform him.'' Since he only knows one nightmare fiend in the entire universe and no one sells the nightmare fiend''s fur in the market. Therefore, Ajax decided to tell the truth to get the nightmare fiend''s fur. Even though Ajax felt it was lowly to ask for someone''s fur, there was nothing he could do about it. In order to focus on his things, he had to upgrade the demonic avatar who could retrieve the world cores in his ce. The nightmare fiend was surprised to hear Ajax''s reason for why he wanted his fur. Ajax had a bitter smile on his face as he replied to the nightmare fiend. After saying that, the nightmare fiend left the chat. ''Phew¡­finally, I can get one of the two items.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw thest reply from the nightmare fiend. ¡­.. After five minutes, "Here." The nightmare fiend arrived on time and he brought his ck fur along with him and gave it to Ajax. "Thank you. Is there something you want in exchange for the fur?" Ajax knew that the other party wants something from him. Therefore, before the nightmare fiend could ask him, Ajax himself asked whether the other party wanted something. "Nothing." However, to his surprise, the nightmare fiend shook his head and said he didn''t want anything. "However, if it is okay, then can you tell me what are the features of your demonic avatar after it is upgraded?" After some hesitation, the nightmare fiend asked something simple, making Ajax think, ''Who would have thought he would be interested in the effect of the demonic avatar?'' "Sure." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax nodded his head in agreement. "Thank you." The nightmare fiend nodded his head in satisfaction. He didn''t expect that someone would use his fur in refining the artifacts and obviously he was curious about the effect of that aritfact. So, he gave his fur and asked if he wanted to know about the after-effects of that demonic avatar. "However, the thing is I stillck one more item to start the refinement for my demonic avatar." In the next second, Ajax revealed the truth that made the nightmare friend frown. "What item is it?" "Nether Essence. If Sir Nightmare can¡­" "I have it." However, before Ajax could finish his words, the nightmare fiend interrupted the words that pleasantly surprised him. Chapter 1530 Rurbeaks Potential Chapter 1530 Rurbeak''s Potential ''Who said Nightmare Fiends are as evil as the demons?'' After exiting the trader''s realm, Ajax muttered to himself and continued, ''If anyone says that in the future, I will make sure to teach them a good lesson.'' Looking at the two items he got from the Trader''s realm, Ajax could not help but reveal an excited smile on his face. To his surprise, the Nightmare Fiend was really a good cultivatorpared to the rumors or stories he heard about their race because not only did he give him his fur but he also gave 100 drops of the Nether essence which was equivalent to 100 units. And the most important thing is, that he only asked Ajax to inform him about the effects of the Demonic Avatar after it was upgraded. Since there was nothing for Ajax to lose in telling the effects of the Demonic Avatar, he agreed without thinking much. ''Finally, I can let Rurbeak and other grey dwarves upgrade my Demonic Avatar to the Legend grade.'' With an excited smile on his face, Ajax thought, ''I wonder what kind of additional effects my demonic avatar would unlock at the legend grade.'' Not only the Nightmare Fiend, but even Ajax was also both curious and excited about it. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and hurriedly called Rurbeak. ¡­ "Master, you already got the items?" With a surprised look on his face, Rurbeak saw the two items in his hand and asked Ajax. ''How many minutes have passed since wepleted the dwarf meeting? 10 minutes? 15 minutes? But, the master has already got them. Master is truly a mysterious cultivator.'' Rurbeak was shocked with how fast Ajax was able to get his hands on the rare items he mentioned a few minutes back. "How long will it take for you to finish the upgrade?" Ajax nodded his head and asked Rurbeak how long it would take him to refine the demonic avatar. "It would take at least 15 days; however, since it is a valuable item for the Master I will take it slow andplete it in 30 days." Rurbeak thought for a moment before answering Ajax''s question with a serious look on his face. "Alright¡­..huh?" Ajax thought Rurbeak was decreasing the refining time when he heard ''since it is for master''; however, when he heard that Rurbeak had increased the refining time, Ajax frowned. "Did I hear that right? Did you just say 30 days?" Ajax felt he heard the wrong number of days. So, he asked once again to confirm the days required to upgrade his demonic avatar. "You didn''t hear it wrong, Master. I said I will finish the upgrade of your demonic avatar in 30 days." Rurbeak nodded with a serious look and one could tell he was not joking. also a tiresome process that would take days, weeks, or even months. Like refining pills in alchemy, refining weapons and artifacts was also a tiresome process that would take days, weeks, or even months. So, Ajax would have not been surprised if Rurbeak directly said that it would take one month; however, the other party had said it would only take 15 days before saying for master''s sake he would do it in 30 days. "Master, even though I canplete it in 15 days, there is still a 10 percent chance of failure in the process." Seeing the confused look on his master''s face, Rurbeak exined, "If I increase the number of days in refining the master''s demonic avatar, not only the chances of failure decrease but it will also increase the chances of unlocking some unexpected effects." "Therefore, I want to make sure that the master could get a special demonic avatar; instead of a normal legend-grade avatar." Rurbeak wanted to pay back for Ajax''s past help and at the same time, he wanted to prove to Ajax that as long as he was given the required resources, he would definitely refine the high-level legend-grade artifacts or even mythical-grade artifacts and weapons. Therefore, Rurbeak was working hard for thest few months to improve his weapon refining skills to the best of his ability. "One month of refining guarantees the sess rate? Good." Ajax didn''t think much about it and nodded his head. Even though Ajax was in a hurry to upgrade his demonic avatar to the legend grade, he was not willing to take the risk. Since Rurbeak was sure that he could upgrade his demonic avatar without failure, Ajax decided to wait for one month. "Thank you for your hard work, Rurbeak. If you want any special materials for your weapon refining, let me know." Ajax didn''t have any ego to thank his followers. Since he was getting some help, whether it was a follower or someone else, it was a basic etiquette that Ajax learned from the Silver Orphanage. Moreover, he saw through Rurbeak potential in the weapon refining and decided to nurture a little more than he used to do in the past. Currently, Rurbeak is less than 25 years old and he was already a King realm Weaponsmith. ''Since the grey dwarves could live for 1000 years, there is so much potential for him to achieve. Hence, I have to nurture him more and turn him into an Emperor realm Weaponsmith or even further.'' When Ajax thought about the realm after the Emperor realm Weaponsmith, he had goosebumps. ''In cultivation, after the emperor realm, the next cultivation realm is the Immortal realm. Since almost all the professions follow the same names as the cultivation, I think it will be Immortal realm Weaponsmith.'' The Mythical level weapons and artifacts were already enough to make the powerful emperor realm cultivators of the universe go crazy. What if an Immortal grade weapon appears? Will there be bloodshed? So, if Ajax''s follower bes an Emperor realm or by chance an immortal realm cultivator, then everyone in this universe would beg him for the mythical grade and immortal grade weapons and artifacts just like how the powerful cultivators were crazy about the world cores now. ''Moreover, I can add in another source of ie by selling the mythical grade artifacts and weapons. At that time, getting my hands on the nt essence would not be as hard as I thought it would be.'' Ajax silently thought in his mind about Rurbeak''s future and could not help but reveal an excited smile. "Thank you for asking, master. For now, I don''t need anything." Rurbeak thanked Ajax and said, "If I need something, I will definitely let you know." Rurbeak was nning to get resources from Ajax; however, he wanted to prove his weapon refining skills by upgrading his master''s demonic avatar into a special legend-grade artifact. ''Only after that, I will ask the master for some special materials.'' On the other hand, Rurbeak had his own thoughts as he temporarily declined Ajax''s offer. "Okay. You can ask me for the special materials you want any time." Since his follower politely declined his offer, Ajax didn''t force him and informed the young dwarf that he could ask him for the special material any time. ''You can lead a horse to water but you can''t make him drink.'' Ajax thought of a quote he heard in one of Elder Boron''s stories. So, he didn''t force Rurbeak as he wanted the other party to request the special materials on his own. Only when the other party requests something, he would put more effort into it. If he was given good materials before he could ask, the other party would take them for granted and would not put more effort into it. "Yes, master." After taking the items from Ajax, Rurbeak left the protector''s ce and started his preparations to upgrade the demonic avatar. Obviously, the demonic avatar also followed behind Rurbeak because without it, how could the young dwarfplete the upgrade? ¡­ ''Now, it is time to take care of the minute things.'' After Rurbeak left, Ajax entered the cultivation chamber of the protector''s ce and sat cross-legged before entering the inner world. ''I wonder how much the Soul Nourishment Tree would grow with the 100 units of the nt essence I have with me now.'' With a curious look on his face, Ajax walked to the small nt. The small nt was none other than the Soul Nourishment Tree that Ajax was nning to nurture to recover the souls of his parents. ''Let''s find out.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax poured the entire bottle of the nt essence. ''I will be happy if it grows to my height.'' After pouring the nt essence into the Soul Nourishment Tree, Ajax muttered his expectations of the growth in the Soul Nourishment Tree. ''Ding, The Soul Nourishment Tree has consumed 100 units of nt essence. To his surprise, he received a system notification; however, Ajax didn''t bother about it andpletely focused on the small nt. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' Soon, Ajax saw some movement in the small nt as it started growing slowly. ''Even though I can barely notice its growth, it is growing.'' Ajax was a little disappointed to see the speed at which the Soul Nourishment Tree was growing; however, he was happy about something else. ''Even though the speed of its growth was very slow, it is growing at a visible rate. I wonder how long this effect willst.'' The soul nourishment tree was growing at a steady rate; however, Ajax knew it was only temporary because of the nt essence he poured earlier. So, he was wondering how long the effect wouldst. "Swoosh" As though the heavens heard his prayers, the slowly growing nt suddenly increased its growth speed, and within a few seconds, it already reached Ajax''s height and it''s still growing. Chapter 1531 After 29 days... Chapter 1531 After 29 days... Chapter 1532 New System Feature Chapter 1532 New System Feature ording to the information shown by the system, after he consumes a Nightmare Fruit, he would enter a Nightmare and start living in it. ''Even though there will be many difficulties in every step I take in the Nightmare world, the rewards for surviving are great. Moreover, the longer the duration I stay inside a Nightmare World, the higher the benefits I will get.'' ''Another advantage from eating this fruit was, no matter how long I spend my time inside a Nightmare World, only one minute will pass in the real world.'' Ajax wanted to be sure about everything. So, he read the avable information about the Nightmare Fruit before eating it. ''Gulp'' Without wasting any time, Ajax eats the Nightmare Fruits in a few bites and soon, he is hit by a wave of dizziness. ''Thud'' In the next second, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground in his cultivation chamber of the Protector''s pce. ''Ding, The host has consumed a Nightmare Fruit. ''Ding, The host has met the hidden requirements to unlock a new system feature. Do you want to unlock it? Ajax was in an endless space in his spirit consciousness form and opened his eyes when he heard the system notifications. ''What? I met the hidden requirements for a new system feature?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment before revealing an excited smile on his face, ''It''s been a while since I got some new system features. I wonder what it is.'' ''Yes, I want to unlock it.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax decided to unlock it with a curious look on his face. A new feature [Nightmare World] has been unlocked. Please check the full details in the [User Interface]. With a thought, he checked for more information on his new system feature. ''Ding, System feature: Nightmare World. Use: The host can enter a random nightmare world and survive in it. The longer he survives the higher his rewards would be. Note: The host needs to eat a Nightmare fruit to activate this feature. Nightmare Points: 0 Uses: 1) Collect the nightmare points to retain some of your real-life skills, cultivation techniques, bloodlines and whatever you have. 2) With enough nightmare points, the host can bring the treasures, weapons and whatnot from the nightmare world he entered. 3) The main use of the nightmare points is that the host can set his initiating conditions in the nightmare world. With more nightmare points, the host can assume the identity of a son of a powerful family or a brother to a famous knight to live in the nightmare world which increases the survival rate of the host. Soon, the full information about his new system feature appeared before Ajax, making him shocked. ''What? I can enter the nightmare world with my real-life abilities, bring back the treasures from the nightmare worlds I enter, and even choose where I should be born in the nightmare world. Isn''t this awesome?'' Ajax was not expecting his newly unlocked system feature to be over-powered. Nevertheless, to do all things he just mentioned, he needed the Nightmare Points. ''Even though I don''t know exactly how to get these so-called Nightmare Points, I can guess it must have something to do with surviving inside the Nightmare World.'' Ajax silently thought about how he could get the Nightmare Points. ''Ding, The host can get the Nightmare Points by surviving inside a nightmare world. The longer you stay, the more nightmare points the host will get rewarded with. ''Ding, ''Ding, When the host is inside the Nightmare Points, the system will issue some side missions. Uponpletion of these side missions, the host will be rewarded with the specified nightmare points. ''Ding, With enough nightmare points, the host can bring back the things, skills, and so on. Upon sensing his thoughts, the system sent a few more notifications informing him how to get the Nightmare points inside the nightmare world. ''Really? Then I have to work hard.'' After hearing that, Ajax''s excitement shot to the peak as he decided to work hard and collect as many Nightmare Points as possible. ''Compared to my original system, this default system is very good. Even before I could ask it any questions, it was answering me without asking me to pay for it.'' ''More importantly, the default system is very respectful towards me and never shows an attitude in front of him.'' Ajaxpared his original system and the default system and felt thetter one was really treating him like a master. Even though he was saying that the default system was good, if he were to choose between his original system and the default system, Ajax would choose his original system without any hesitation. ''Whenever the original system sent the notifications, I felt like speaking to a real person who had all emotions whereas the default system sounds like a puppet.'' ''Ding, The host has a chance to enter a random nightmare world. Do Therefore, Ajax wants the original system as hispanion instead of the default system which only acts when the original system undergoes an upgrade. ''Ding, The host has a chance to enter a random nightmare world. Do you choose to enter it now orter? Soon, he received the system notification asking him whether he wants to enter the nightmare world or not. ''It will take only one minute in the real world no matter how long I spend inside the nightmare world, right?'' Even though the nightmare fruit''s information said that Ajax wanted to confirm it with the system because he would be entering the nightmare world through the system feature. ''Ding, Yes. It will be only one minute in the real world no matter how long you spend inside a nightmare world. ''Good. I want to enter it.'' Since the system feature [Nightmare World] has piqued his interest to a high level, Ajax wanted to experience the nightmare world and most importantly, his goal was to see whether he could umte enough Nightmare Points to bring anything back to the realm world. ''Ding, A random Nightmare world has been selected. ''Ding, The host will be entering the [Nightmare world - The Barbarian World]. Chapter 1533 Vunn - The Weakest Barbarian Chapter 1533 Vunn - The Weakest Barbarian ''Ding, A random Nightmare world has been selected. ''Ding, The host will be entering the [Nightmare world - The Barbarian World]. ''Ding, The system detected that the host has Zero Nightmare Points. The host can''t select any of his real-life abilities and enter the nightmare world without any abilities. ''Ding, The host will be given a random starting point in the Nightmare world. Note: If the host is lucky, he might get a good starting point; however, in most cases, he will be given the worst starting point. Soon, he received the system notifications in his head, making him bitterly shake his head. ''Since it is my first time entering the nightmare world, you can''t me me for not having enough nightmare points to buy my real-life abilities or a good identity in the nightmare world.'' There was nothing Ajax could do about it other than enter the nightmare world without any advantage. Every step you take in the nightmare world, you encounter danger. So, entering the nightmare world without any real-life abilities or a good starting ce it would be impossible to survive long in the nightmare world. ''Ding, Please select the difficulty for the [Nightmare world- The Barbarian World]: Easy, Normal, Hard and Nightmare level. ''Huh? I can even choose the difficulty level for the Nightmare worlds?'' Ajax was surprised and without any hesitation, he chose, ''Easy''. No matter what, any nightmare world is dangerous and even if you had a good start, it is impossible to avoid all the dangers in a nightmare world. Since he would be entering the nightmare world without any of his real-life abilities, Ajax felt it was better to go easy with it. ''If it is too easy for me, I can always choose the next level in difficulty when I enter the Nightmare world next time.'' For now, Ajax just wanted to survive as long as possible to gain the nightmare points and choosing the easy level would be the best way to survive long. Since it would only pass a single minute in the real world, I can try to survive as long as possible. ''This should be thest time I enter a nightmare world without buying some safety skills or scenarios.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax chooses to enter the nightmare world. ''Ding, Sending the host into a nightmare world. Please survive as long as possible. With onest system notification, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form disappeared from the endless space. ..... In the Barbarian World, ''Where am I?'' A young barbarian opened his eyes in a cave and muttered in a weak voice, looking at the ceiling of the cave. His body waspletely filled with old scars and new injuries that stopped bleeding who knows when? Even with those injuries, the young barbarian tried to wake up from the ground; however, he didn''t even have enough strength to move his body. After trying a few times, the young barbarian gave up and closed his eyes and muttered, ''System, are you there?'' ''Ding, Exining the scenario and sending the past memories of this body to the host right now. Please wait. ''Ding, Also, other than the [Apprasing] feature, the host can''t summon the system whenever he wants. ''Ding, Depending on the events happening around the host, the system will randomly send some side missions. So, the host doesn''t have to worry about missing them out. As soon as he called the system the young barbarian received a series of system notifications, making him frown for a moment before closing his eyes to digest the memories that were entering into his head. The young barbarian was none other than Ajax whose starting point in his first Nightmare world was a severely injured barbarian. In his current state, Ajax was not even able to move his body, much less survive in it. As for now, Ajax still didn''t know anything about this so-called Barbarian world and he was hoping to get enough information from the memories of the young barbarian. ''What the¡­.'' However, after absorbing all the memories of the young barbarian, Ajax cursed his luck. ''It looks like I really ran out of luck.'' This was the only thought that came to his mind. Who would have expected that his starting point in his first nightmare world would be so bad that Ajax just wanted to kill himself and leave the nightmare world? The young barbarian''s name was Vunn and also known as the weakest barbarian in the history of the Barbarian world. As though adding salt to an injury, at the age of 15, Vunn and everyone found out that he was not suitable to learn this world''s cultivation techniques, making him looked down on by everyone. When his adoptive parents found out about it, they kicked him out of the house without any mercy. Nevertheless, he found work and wanted to live a simple life. However in this world, without any strength, even doing normal work would be hard. Hence, no matter where he works, he would be kicked out in less than a day because of his low strength. Finally, he found a job where he would be his own boss; however,pared to the other jobs he found in the past, this job was risky. Nevertheless, to survive, he needed to earn some money. So, he started entering the ckmoon forest to collect the herbs, and fruits. Even though he was always attacked by the barbaric beasts in the ckmoon forest, Vunn survived with injuries; however, he finally ran out of luck when he encountered two rank 3 barbaric beasts that left him in his current state. "What an unlucky barbarian! Why do I have to enter this body when there are millions of barbarians in this world?" Ajax could not help but bitterly shake his head and looked at the ceiling of the cave. ''Roar'' As he was looking at the ceiling, Ajax heard a low growl from outside the cave as he saw a small but furious cat enter the cave. ''A rank 3 forest cat? I think I will be leaving this nightmare world sooner than I thought.'' Chapter 1534 Side Quest Chapter 1534 Side Quest ''If I have at least one percent of my real life''s strength, I would have easily killed this rank 3 forest cat. What a pity! I will be dying in the ws of a rank 3 barbaric beast.'' A rank 3 barbaric beast''s strength is equivalent to the rank 3 spirit beast in real life which is equivalent to amander''s realm. So, Ajax felt his first nightmare world is the worst nightmare world where he would be dying in the ws of a spirit beast that he never thought he would die. ''No¡­I have to do something and survive. I can''t give up yet.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and clenched his fists and swore, ''Since I am going to die anyway, I will try my best to put up a fight.'' Even though Ajax won''t be dying for real inside the Nightmare world, he didn''t want to give up yet. The thing is, Ajax thought he should at least do some damage to the rank 3 barbaric beast as he hoped, he might get a few nightmare points for that. If he died in the Nightmare World now, Ajax doubted he would be getting any Nightmare points as he entered this world a few minutes ago. Moreover, when he enters a nightmare world for the second time, without nightmare points, he would get another bad starting point. Therefore, he decided to at least try fighting the beast with his injured body to impress the system to get some nightmare points. ''Ding, A side quest has been issued to the host. ''Ding, Side Quest: Kill the rank 3 barbaric forest cat. Reward: 1) 100 Nightmare points (Add to the host''s assessment in the nightmare world at the end). 2) One random skill belonging to the rank 3 barbaric forest cat. Just as Ajax got the determination to survive, he received a side quest from the system, that was pleasantly surprised; however, when reading the objective of the ''Side Quest'', he revealed a bitter smile. ''I was barely able to move my body and you expect me to get a rank 3 barbaric beast.'' Ajax could not help but shake his head and thought, ''I don''t know exactly how valuable the nightmare points are; however, judging from how the system will reward with only 100 nightmare points, I can do a lot with those points.'' For now, Ajax only knows what he could do with the nightmare points; however, he still doesn''t know how much he could buy with 100 nightmare points. However, those 100 nightmare points gave him the strength to stand up on his two feet. ''I can do it. I just need to grab that sword.'' When he said that he could do it, Ajax didn''t mean he could kill it. His goal was to swing his sword at the cat when it jumped at him. ''As for whether I can kill it or not, I only have one way to know it.'' Ajax gritted his teeth and tightened the grip around the sword handle. ''Grr'' Seeing its prey wield a sword, the forest cat became more aggressive and rushed at him. "Die." Ajax was ready for this moment and mustering all his strength, he shed his sword at the iing rank 3 forest cat. ''Swoosh'' However, the forest cat was much faster than his shing and dodged it without breaking a sweat. ''Purr'' The forest cat''s entire body fell on Ajax as it started wing his chest. ''Damn it¡­without even a soldier''s realm cultivation, there is no way I can fight this beast in closebat.'' Ajax tried to grab the forest cat; however, it was agile and dodge his hand before leaving another two long w marks on his body. ''I am already bleeding to death and now there are more injuries and more blood.'' Feeling the pain from the injuries, Ajax wanted to give up and just die to get free from the pain. ''What''s more, this damn beast is drinking my blood and eating me while I am still alive.'' Ajax was witnessing and experiencing the things that he thought he would never experience in his life and it was all thanks to the ''Nightmare World''. That''s right! The rank 3 barbaric beast was wing Ajax and drinking his body and eating the small chunks of flesh, making Ajax experience a Nightmare World. ''Wait a second, if I am going to die, then why don''t I bring it with you?'' Suddenly, Ajax got a bold idea in his head. With the current state his body is in, there is no way he could survive for more than five minutes. ''With this n, I am 100 percent sure I can kill this beast; however, I hope I can buy a good starting point or at least one of my real-life abilities for my next nightmare world.'' While lying on the ground, Ajax slowly put his hand on a small cloth that was hanging around his waist. It was his herb collection bag and from the outside appearance, one could tell it was fully filled with the herbs. ''Aargh¡­damn it. Just wait for a few seconds.'' While he was trying to execute his n, the rank 3 forest cat continued to strike Ajax''s chest and licked his blood before jumping away to avoid Ajax''s other hand. ''Meow'' After dodging Ajax''s other hand, the rank 3 forest cat licked its paws and ate the bits of meat stuck in its ws while looking at Ajax with a human-like smile. ''This little beast¡­.if I am not injured, I would have thought of a better n to kill you; however, I think it is not a bad thing to kill you with the current method.'' Soon, he found a purple-coloured flower in his bag which he crushed without any hesitation and rubbed on his injuries. "Munch" After applying the juices from the flower to his injuries, Ajax swallowed the pulp and said to the cat, "No matter how much you drink my blood, you can''t kill me." Ajax scoffed at the cat before saying, "Now, I will take some rest." After saying that, he closed his eyes and hoped, ''I hope it takes the bait.'' What Ajax consumed just now was a poisonous leaf flower and the most valuable ingredient that he found during this trip to the ckmoon forest. When he found the poisonous leaf flower, Vunn was excited; however, never in his wildest dreams, Vunn expected that he would be eating it. ''Other than poisoning myself, there is no way I could kill the rank 3 barbaric forest cat in my current state.'' Ajax was not regretting his decision to eat the rank 4 poisonous leaf flower; instead, he was hoping the rank 3 barbaric forest cat to drink his blood and eat his flesh while he still have consciousness. ''I don''t know whether the system would count if I kill it after I die. So, it is better to stay conscious and witness its death.'' What Ajax was hoping for was not an impossible feat because the properties of the poisonous leaf flower would act at a different rate for different beings. ''Ding, Herb name: Poisonous Leaf Flower. Grade: Rank 4. Effect: It can even poison everyone with the strength of rank 4 or below ranked beings. Note: The poison from this herb acts faster for the rank 4 beingspared to the rank 1. The stronger the consumer, the faster the poison acts. Ajax waspletely relying on that ''Note''; however, the problem is, that he had already lost so much blood. Moreover, he even started to lose consciousness, making him a little anxious. ''Meow?'' The forest cat looked at the young barbarian in front of it and frowned for a moment. ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, maybe it found Vunn''s blood tasty, or it was too hungry, it didn''t hesitate to jump onto Vunn and started feasting on it. ''Aargh'' ''I need to..argh¡­.endure it.'' Even though Ajax had experienced various kinds of pains in his life, whatever he was feeling was on apletely different level. Maybe it was because he didn''t have enough strength which magnified the pain by a few more levels. ''I have to do it.'' Nevertheless, Ajax continued to endure the pain with his eyes closed andpletely allowed the forest cat to eat them. Time continued to pass and a couple of minutes passed by. ''This cat is so cunning that it was not wing my critical parts and trying to keep me alive.'' Ajax thought he would lose his consciousness and die already; however, the forest cat didn''t let him die as it didn''t w too deep or strike his critical parts. ''Ding, The host has sessfullypleted the side quest ''Kill the rank 3 forest cat''. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with one of the forest cat''s skills. ''Ding, The host awakened the skill ''Wild healing'', which can heal minor and medium injuries. After who knows how long, just when Ajax was losing his consciousness, he received a series of system notifications that acted like an rm and woke him up. ''What? Did I kill it? Excellent.'' Ajax opened his eyes with great effort and saw the forest cat lying on the ground beside him with its stomach facing up. ''Ding, The host has died of severe blood loss. ''Ding, Teleporting the host''s consciousness out of the nightmare world to the endless space. Please wait while the system assesses the host''s survival rating in the nightmare world. Nevertheless, just as he became happy to see the corpse of the forest cat, Ajax also died along with it. ''I wonder how many Nightmare Points I will get.'' Chapter 1535 Assessment Chapter 1535 Assessment ''I wonder how many Nightmare Points I will get.'' This was thest thought in Ajax''s head as his spirit consciousness opened its eyes in the endless space. There, he waited for the system toplete his assessment on the survival of his first Nightmare World. ''Ding, Thanks for waiting patiently, host. Your assessment of the survival of the first Nightmare World is ready. After waiting for who knows how long, Ajax received a system notification that made him heave a sigh of relief. Even though it would only take one minute in the real world, Ajax could feel the time flowing very slowly, making him bored. So, he was excited to see the system notification. ''Ding, 1) The host survived for a day in the nightmare world and gained one nightmare point. 2) Consumed a rank 4 herb and gained 10 nightmare points. 3) Killed a rank 3 barbaric beast and gained 5 nightmare points. 4) Completed a side quest and gained 10 nightmare points. 5) Reward from side quest: 100 nightmare points. 6) The host didn''t give up till the end despite being in a hopeless situation. So, he will be rewarded with 10 nightmare points. Soon, a holographic screen appeared before him and one point after another slowly appeared, informing him about his actions in the nightmare world and how many nightmare points he got from each action. ''So, surviving a single day in the nightmare world gives one nightmare point.'' After reading the first point, Ajax raised his brows and nodded his head in understanding. ''I didn''t even survive for a day but the system counted it as a day. The system is being generous with its assessment.'' Even though it was only a single nightmare point, after seeing how rewarding his other actions were, he felt one nightmare point just after entering the nightmare world seemed good. ''If I can get one nightmare point for surviving one day in a nightmare world, won''t I get thousands of points if I survive for ten years?'' nightmare points in his next visit to the nightmare world. For someone who barely survived one day in the nightmare world, Ajax was not joking when he said surviving for 10 years in a nightmare world because it was possible for him. ''All I need to have is one of my real-life abilities and a good starting point. As long as I can buy those two things, leave about surviving for 10 years, I might even survive for 100 years.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he finally found a way to gain more nightmare points in his next visit to the nightmare world. ''Moreover, during those 10 years, I canplete dozens or even hundreds of side quests, which would make my future visits to the nightmare worlds easier.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued thinking, ''And the most important thing was, to bring back the treasures or items from the nightmare world.'' This was his true goal to enter the nightmare world as he could either sell those treasures for an insane value or use them for himself. ''Consuming the herb also gives nightmare points?'' Another point in the list made Ajax a little surprised as he made a mental note, ''Next time, I enter the nightmare world, I need to consume as many herbs as possible.'' Ajax was trying to make note of all the things that could easily give him the nightmare points by doing less risky things. The remaining three points in the list didn''t surprise him; however, thest point made him pleasantly surprised. ''I have to not give up until the end.'' He added another point to his ''What-to-do in the nightmare world'' list and looked at the total nightmare points he gained. ''Ding, The host gained a total of 136 nightmare points. ''Ding, The easy mode''s multiplier is applied: 136 x 1 = 136 nightmare points. ''Huh? Easy mode''s multiplier?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment; however, he understood what it was and asked the system, ''What is the multiplier for the other difficulty levels in the nightmare worlds?'' ''Ding, Easy Mode = 1 Normal Mode = 5 Hard Mode = 10 Nightmare Mode = 100 ''What? For nightmare mode, the nightmare points will be multiplied by 100?'' Ajax was shocked by the huge multiplier for the nightmare mode. Even though he expected it to be high, Ajax didn''t expect it to be as high as 100. ''Since it has a multiplier of 100, it must be insanely dangerous, right? The moment I enter the nightmare world in the nightmare mode, I might die, right?'' Ajax had entered the nightmare world in the easy mode and he barely survived for a few minutes. So, Ajax could guess he would be instantly killed the moment he enters the nightmare world in nightmare mode. ''But still, it is an easy 100 nightmare points since the system counts even surviving a second in a day in the nightmare world as a whole day and rewards me with one nightmare point.'' Ajax felt it was also an easy way to get 100 nightmare points without buying any real-life abilities or good starting points. ''Ding, Do you want to buy anything from the nightmare world you visited? As he was nning everything for his second nightmare world, a system notification rang in his head, asking whether he wanted to buy anything. ''Let me see what I can buy.'' There was nothing that Ajax really wanted to buy from the Barbaric world because whatever he had seen in the Barbaric world was very low-level and didn''t pique his interest. However, he wanted to see the prices for the things. ''After seeing the prices, I can get a rough understanding of how valuable the nightmare points are and how much I can buy with them.'' With that thought in his mind, Ajax waited for the system to show him the things that he had seen in the nightmare world. ''Ding, 1) Poison leaf flower: 100 NP. 2) Rank 3 forest cat (tamed): 50 NP. 3) Wild healing (Skill): 100 NP. Soon, the system showed the three valuable things that Ajax had seen in the nightmare world that could be brought back to the real world. ''Huh? It is asking me ten times the value it gave me.'' Ajax frowned when he saw the prices of the items from the nightmare world. He received 10 points by consuming a rank 4 poison leaf flower; however, if he wanted to turn that herb into a reality, he needed 100 nightmare points. ''Anyway, I don''t need the herb or a pet as I can get them in the real world.'' Ajax instantly rejected the first two options as they were useless to him; however, the third one tempted him a little. ''Let''s not buy it. It can only heal minor and medium injuries.'' Nevertheless, after thinking for a moment, Ajax rejected it and stopped thinking about it as he didn''t want to change his mind. Even though adding another skill to his skill list was not a bad thing, the problem is Ajax already has a simr skill. So, it would be just a waste of his nightmare points to buy that skill. What''s more, he was even a Sacred Astral Healer who could heal not only minor and medium injuries, but he could also heal severe injuries and soul injuries as long as he had enough sacred energy and astral energy. ''Ding, Please select an item that you wish you buy; otherwise, please exit the endless space. Soon, the system urged him to either buy or get out of the endless ce. ''I want to see how much nightmare points it costs to buy a good starting point and my real-life abilities for the next visit to the nightmare world.'' However, Ajax didn''t leave the endless space as he asked the system to show the prices to buy his real-life abilities and the starting points for the next visit. ''Ding, Please consume a nightmare fruit and enter the endless space again. Not only can you view them but you can also buy them only if you have enough nightmare points. ''Sigh'' However, the system rejected his request to view the prices beforehand, and instead, it asked him to consume a nightmare fruit which made Ajax sigh. To enter the nightmare world throught the [Nightmare World] system feature, Ajax still needs to consume a nightmare fruit. So, the system asked him to eat a nightmare fruit. ''It looks like I have to trade with the Nightmare Fiend once again.'' Since Ajax only knew one source where he could buy a nightmare fruit, he naturally decided to buy from him. ''I will be entering the trader''s realm tomorrow anyway. I think I will just wait and meet him tomorrow. I hope he has enough nightmare fruits.'' For the next time, Ajax decided to visit multiple nightmare worlds. Therefore, he decided to buy as many nightmare fruits from the nightmare fiend. ''Also, I will pay a visit to the Jade Dragon''s Greater World and enjoy a one-day stay in the Jade Pool before visiting the floating ind through the metal human emperor''s world.'' Ajax had everything nned and thought, ''I will be getting busy for the next few days. I hope Rurbeak could finish the upgrade of my demonic avatar by tomorrow.'' Since his demonic avatar would be the main world core retriever, Ajax wanted it to be upgraded. ''Exit'' With a single thought, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form disappeared from the endless space and returned to his body that was lying on the floor of his cultivation chamber. "Master, I have upgraded your demonic avatar." Chapter 1536 Upgraded Demonic Avatar Chapter 1536 Upgraded Demonic Avatar "Master, I have upgraded your demonic avatar." As soon as Ajax opened his eyes in his cultivation chamber of the protector''s ce, he saw Rurbeak was standing not far from him and replied with an excited look on his face. "Upgraded it? Excellent." Ajax stopped thinking about the Nightmare world until he got his hands on the nightmare fruits. As for now, he was excited to hear Rurbeak''s words and hurriedly asked, "Where is it? Let me see." Ajax was expecting Rurbeak to finish the upgradation of his demonic avatar by tomorrow. So, it was a pleasant surprise for him. "Master, I am here." Soon, the demonic avatar looked exactly like Ajax entered the cultivation chamber. Even though it looked a lot like Ajax, if someone sees the demonic avatar from a distance, they would easily mistake him for a demonic being. ''He looks more demonic than before.'' Before Ajax checked the information on the demonic avatar, he assessed the physical changes of the demonic avatar with a single word: Demon. ''Anyway, who cares about the appearance? I only need to retrieve the world core and if he has any battle strength, it would be even better.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax checked the information on the demonic avatar. ''Ding, Artifact name: Demonic Avatar. Grade: Mid-level Legend Grade. Strength: The same as the host (Mid-level King Realm). Skill: Pick any one skill. Technique: Pick any one cultivation technique. Bloodline: Pick any one bloodline. More information: An upgraded version of the host that can have one of the host''s abilities from each category. Special ability: 1)The demonic avatar can retrieve the world cores from the smaller worlds. Soon, the full information about the demonic avatar appeared before Ajax which pleasantly surprised Ajax. "It can have the same strength as me and even have my abilities from each section?" Ajax was excited and didn''t add any of the skill, technique or bloodline as he continued reading the holographic screen until he found what he wanted from the Demonic Avatar. ''Phew¡­it is there.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his demonic avatar had the ability to retrieve the world cores. ''Even though it can only retrieve the world cores from the smaller world cores, it is enough for the current me as I am only nning to conquer as many smaller demonic worlds as possible.'' Ajax would field with excitement and looked at Rurbeak, "Rurbeak, I have decided. From now on, I will nurture you and help you be a Mythical grade Weaponsmith." "Thank you, master. I will work hard and improve my weapon refining skills as much as possible." This time, Rurbeak didn''t reject Ajax''s offer because he felt he had proved enough to Ajax to say such words in excitement. "Give me the list of materials that are hard to find or not avable in the four worlds I own." Ajax thought about it for a moment and continued, "From this moment onwards, you are free to travel between the four worlds and you can have any weapon refining material you want." "Thank you, master, for being so generous." Even though the four words were connected by the teleportation circle, one needed to pay a hefty sum of spirit stones to use them. However, now, Rurbeak was given a free pass to travel between the worldspletely free of cost. "However, don''t misuse the opportunity to travel between worlds as it would cost a lot of spirit stones to use them. Just use it for your vacation when you are bored of weapon refining." Even though Ajax doesn''t need the spirit stones, the worlds he owned needed them and it cost millions of spirit stones to activate the teleportation circle between the worlds. Therefore, Ajax wanted Rurbeak to be careful while using the opportunity to travel between worlds. "Of course, I know, master. You don''t have to worry about it." Rurbeak knew how many spirit stones a teleportation circle burns for single use. As someone who waspletely loyal to Ajax won''t dare to use the teleportation circle excessively. "Good." Ajax nodded his head and said, "You have worked hard. Go and take a rest for a few days." Soon, he sent Rurbeak away and looked at the information about the demonic avatar. ''I select ''Emergency Ghost'' for the skill section for my demonic avatar.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax started selecting the skills and other abilities he could pick for his demonic avatar. ''Ding, The demonic avatar now knows the skill ''Emergency Ghost''. ''Ding, Please select the other two sections. ''For bloodline, I select my Abyssal Beast God Bloodline.'' Ajax didn''t have to think much when it came to which bloodline he had to select. With the help of the Abyssal Beast God Bloodline, Ajax''s demonic avatar could lead his entire army of the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Who would select other bloodlines when there is a bloodline that could increase the strength of all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts by five times? ''I want my demonic avatar to be a support type and survive no matter what kind of danger it encounters.'' When he chose ''Emergency Ghost'' for his demonic avatars when he had other good skills, Ajax had already decided that his demonic avatar''s survival was the most important thing followed by its bloodline that could increase the overall battle prowess of his army. ''From now on, I don''t even need to join anyrge-scale battles and just need to send my demonic avatar to take care of the things.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and looked at thest remaining section in the demonic avatar''s profile. ''System, can you show me all my cultivation techniques?'' As for cultivation technique, Ajax already have something in his mind; however, he didn''t know whether it was possible or not. Therefore, Ajax asked the system to show the list of cultivations he had learned and if it was in that list, he could directly select it. ''Ding, 1) Blessed refining cultivation technique (Locked). . . . ''It''s there.'' Chapter 1537 Rewards from the Blessed Refining Technique Ding, Chapter 1537 Rewards from the Blessed Refining Technique ''Ding, 1) Blessed refining cultivation technique (Locked). 2) Mountain Splitting Sword Technique. 3) Lightning Cloud Steps. As soon as he asked the system, it showed him a list of cultivation techniques that Ajax could pick for his demonic avatar. ''It''s there.'' Ajax was excited to find the cultivation technique he wanted to give to his demonic avatar was on the list. ''System, I will choose the Blessed refining cultivation technique.'' There was no need for Ajax to think much about it as he long decided to give this cultivation technique to his demonic avatar. ''Since I am not nning to unlock this cultivation technique anytime soon, I will make my demonic avatar to unlock it and see whether the sacrifices I made for the cultivation technique were worth it or not.'' Ajax had been curious about what kind of skills, cultivation techniques, bloodlines, cultivator''sws and soul could be awakened when he unlocked the blessed refining cultivation technique. However, he didn''t have any ns to unlock it unless he faced imminent danger and wanted to sacrifice even more units of the essence of nature, and kill more demonic cultivators to increase the rewards from the cultivation technique. Therefore, he decided to give the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique'' to his demonic avatar and make it unlock the cultivation technique. ''Ding, Currently, the host''s blessed refining cultivation technique is locked. ''Ding, If you select the cultivation technique for your demonic avatar, it will unlock the moment your demonic avatar is blessed with that cultivation technique. ''Ding, Do you still want to select that option? Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications and with each system notification, Ajax''s heartbeat increased, fearing that the system would not let him select that cultivation technique for some random reason. However, when he read the system notifications, his heartbeat returned to normal and he heaved a sigh of relief. ''I ept.'' Since Ajax was already nning to make his demonic avatar unlock that cultivation technique, Ajax was not worried much about it. ''Ding, The host''s demonic avatar has now learned the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique''. ''Ding, The cultivation technique is now unlocked. ''Ding, The host''s demonic avatar received the rewards based on the sacrifices that the host has made so far for the ''Blessed refining cultivation technique''. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head which piqued his interest as he looked forward to seeing what kind of benefits his long-awaited blessed refining cultivation technique would give his demonic avatar. Time continued to pass and a few minutes passed by in a sh as Ajax once again started getting the system notifications in his head. ''Ding, The host''s demonic avatar received the following rewards from unlocking the ''Blessed refining cultivation''. ''Ding, 1) Skill: Starfire Tempest. 2) Cultivation technique: Elemental Weapon Strike. (Can be used with all weapons) 3) Cultivator''s soul: Barrier of Absorption (Level 1 King Soul). 4) Bloodline: Demon God of Destruction. Note: Since the receiver of the rewards is a demonic avatar, the rewards from each section will be limited to only one and the host can receive multiple rewards from each section or one single reward that was as powerful as the multiple rewardsbined. Looking at the system notifications, Ajax carefully read one line after another with a huge smile on his face. ''I was already happy to receive one reward for each section; however, who would have thought that the rewards for the demonic avatar were limited.'' When he read the ''Note'' at the bottom of the holographic screen, Ajax froze for a moment before bing even more excited. ''It looks like waiting to unlock the Blessed Refining Technique'' is totally worth it.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after checking the rewards that his demonic avatar had gained by unlocking the blessed refining cultivation technique. ¡­. Outside the protector''s pce. "Master." Westin and Alder, the devour eagle king, respectfully greeted Ajax. During thest month, after fully mastering his level 3 demonic form, Westin was visiting the demonic worlds with the devour eagle king. Alder opened the portal to the smaller demon world whereas Westin takes care of killing all the demons in that world without any help from the devour eagle king. On the other hand, after opening the portal to the smaller worlds, Alder would take a nap and wait until Westin finished killing all the demons in that world. Before calling Ajax regarding the retrieval of the world core, Alder would devour all the demonic beings along with the natural resources in that smaller demon world. By doing this, both Westin and Alder benefited a lot. Compared to Alder, who was already a low-level emperor realm spirit beast, Westin got benefitted a lot as his cultivation speed became a lot faster after upgrading his demonic form to level 3. He had already be a peak king realm cultivator and only a single step away from bing an emperor realm cultivator. "Master, these smaller demon worlds no longer increase my strength at the speed they used to increase. Can we start conquering the normal demon worlds?" As soon as they were called by Ajax, both Westin and Alder decided to persuade him in conquering the normal demonic worlds. "No. Not yet." Ajax knew they were capable enough to survive in the normal demon worlds and could even do enough damage; however, they two alone can''t conquer a normal demon world. ''If I work with my entire army of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, I might conquer them; however, it would take a few days and they might even get injured in the process. Moreover, the normal demon worlds were more valuable for the demon emperorspared to the smaller demon worlds and if they worked hard and destroyed a normal demon world, they would be already and it would be troublesome for them to even conquer the smaller demon worlds after that. Therefore, he rejected and said, "From now on, my demonic avatar will be the one to retrieve the world cores." Soon, he introduced his upgraded demonic avatar to them and started giving out orders about their future ns. Chapter 1538 Deal with the Auction Manager Chapter 1538 Deal with the Auction Manager For now, Ajax didn''t want to attract too much attention from the five Demonic Emperors and that''s why he decided to avoid the normal demon worlds for now. ''My exploration teams and the devour eagle kings were already destroying so many smaller demon worlds.'' After sending away Westin, Alder and his special demonic avatar, Ajax silently muttered to himself, ''Since they were not as valuable as the normal demon worlds and there were thousands of smaller demon worlds in this universe, it will not attract the attention of the demon emperors¡­at least for now.'' ''Moreoever, I am already nning for the Golden Demon Emperor. So, it is better to not waste any time on conquering a normal world.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax went back into the protector''s ce and got ready for tomorrow''s auction. ... On the same day, In the trader''s realm, Ajax didn''t waste his time in the low-level auction house; instead, he directly entered the mid-level auction house in the mid-level trader''s realm and went straight to the manager. "Respected Trader, what can I help you with?" The manager of the mid-level auction house was a humanoid Golden dragon, who respectfully asked Ajax. "I am nning to sell a smaller world core." Since his goal in entering the trader''s realm one day before the auction date was to put an item on the auction list. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and directly started his purpose of visit. "Smaller world core?" The auction manager was surprised to hear Ajax''s words and hurriedly invited him to a vip room of the auction house. "Respected trader, why don''t you drink this mind-calming tree before discussing the details of the item?" The world cores are as rare as the nt essence and the manager has strict orders that he has to give a VIP treatment when someonees to sell items like world cores and the nt essence. "Sure." Ajax didn''t reject it as he liked the taste of it and started speaking about the details, "Are there any other world cores for tomorrow''s auction?" "Th¨Cthis¡­." The auction manager hesitated for a moment before replying, "There is one. As you might have heard, the world conquering sect had already deposited the item with us." Since the world core is a valuable item, the auction house used its marketing strategy to release information about the world core through its unofficialwork to increase the number of sales for their auction house''s tickets. So, Ajax already knew about it and nodded his head in understanding. "At what position did the world conquering sect request you to auction it?" Ajax didn''te to the auction house without a n. So, he asked at what position the auction house would be selling that world core. "Sorry to say this, respected trader but I am not allowed to reveal such information before the auction." The manager looked at a mirror that was on one of the walls of the room and shook his head. "Fine then. It looks like the mid-level auction house didn''t want to maximize their profits." Seeing the hesitation on the manager''s face, Ajax stood up and decided to leave. "I thought of providing a smaller world core for your every auction. It looks like the low-level auction house will agree to my request and earn profits in the long term." Ajax learned from Elder Boron that as long as you show enough profits to some business, they would agree to whatever you say without any hesitation. Therefore, he decided to use the teachings he learned in his childhood now. "What? A steady supply of the smaller world core for the long term?" The manager hurriedly stood up from his ce and stopped Ajax, "Respected trader, please sit down. Let''s talk more about it and I will agree to answer your every question." ''Looks like Grandpa Boron was right.'' Ajax revealed an excited smile in his heart and started discussing his offer for the mid-level auction house. The more profits the auction house generates, the higher themission that its manager gets. So, of course, he was tempted by Ajax''s offer of providing the smaller world cores for the long term. ''Thankfully, the world conquering sect acts arrogant and wants to monopolise the world cores.'' Soon, Ajax found out the real reason why the manager was willing to agree to Ajax''s deal and care less about the world-conquering sect. It was because the world-conquering sect was not regr in supplying the world cores and even when they have enough, they would go to the other auction houses which gives them the least possiblemission fee for their items. There were even times that an auction house paid the world-conquering sect just to sell their world core through their auction house. "Don''t worry. Since I promised and even signed the contract with you, I will not go back on my words." Ajax assured the manager once again before leaving the auction house with an excited smile. ''Not only he waived off mymission fee for the world core, he even promised me to give a 10 percent discount on one item for every two items I buy.'' Ajax also asked the manager to collect the information on the auction items for both the low-level and mid-level auction houses beforehand so that he would have an easy time visiting the auction house. ''Since everything is settled, I just have to wait for tomorrow.'' Soon, Ajax left the trader''s realm. ''World conquering sect, it looks like your monopoly over the world cores wille to an end soon.'' On the other hand, the manager chuckled to himself as he waited to see the expression of the cultivators from the world-conquering sect in tomorrow''s auction house. .... Next day, In the mid-level auction house, The auction house was filled with powerful cultivators from various worlds as the beautiful subus started the auction. "Let''s start the auction with a world core. The initial bid for the world core is one million trader''s tokens." Chapter 1539 Managers Revenge Chapter 1539 Manager''s Revenge "10 million trader''s tokens." As soon as the subus finished her words, the Golden Demon Emperor who rarely visits the mid-level auction house directly raised the value of the world core to 10 million trader''s tokens. Generally, he doesn''t visit the mid-level auction house; however, he received the information that the mid-level auction house was selling one smaller world core. Therefore, he paid a visit to the mid-level auction house just like thest time. "Our rich Golden Demon Emperor looks so determined to get the smaller world core that he has increased the price of the world core so much." The beautiful subus continued, "Is there someone who could increase the bidding value against the golden demon emperor?" She intentionally agitated the cultivators smoothly. "11 million trader''s tokens" "12 million trader''s tokens" "13 million trader''s tokens" . . . "20 million trader''s tokens." As soon as she finished her words, the powerful cultivators from the high-level trader''s realm started bidding crazily for the item. Within in a short time, the price for the ¡­.. ''What the¡­?'' In one of the special chambers of the mid-level auction house, an old man and a middle-aged man frowned when they heard the subus'' words. "Son, at what position did you ask them to put our world core?" The old man asked his son while looking at the crazy bidding for the world core. "Since we are only selling the smaller world core this time, didn''t I clearly ask you to put out an item at the end?" Before the middle-aged man could say anything, the old man asked in a calm voice. ''...'' The middle-aged man didn''t say anything and remained silent. "Nevermind. Since everyone looks crazy for the world core, let''s not bother with the mid-level auction house." The old man was also surprised at the crazy cultivators as he didn''t expect the price for a smaller world core to be raised so much. ''Putong'' However, in the next second, the middle-aged man fell to his knees. "Huh? What happened?" Seeing his son falling to his knees, the old man felt something was not right and asked about it. "Before the start of the auction, the manager said that he would make sure that the price of their world core reaches 30 million trader''s tokens; however, he asked for five million trader''s tokens." The middle-aged man continued, "But I didn''t agree and said that it was impossible." "In the end, I made a deal with the auction manager that if the price for the smaller world core reaches 30 million trader''s tokens, I promised him to give 10 million trader''s tokens; however, if he failed to do so, then he has to pay us the full 30 million trader''s tokens." The middle-aged man looked at his father with an anxious look. Never in his dreams, he had expected that the price for the smaller wor core would sky-rocket to 30 million trader''s tokens. If he had agreed to the manager''s previous deal, he would have only lost five million trader''s tokens; however, he has to give the manager 10 million trader''s tokens now. "Haha¡­little brat. When did you be so good at making deals?" However, to the middle-aged man''s surprise, his father didn''t scold him; instead, he praised him, making the middle-aged man wipe the sweat on his face. From his childhood, his father was so strict and there was an innate fear in the middle-aged man towards his father. "You made a pretty good deal. Don''t worry, even if we give the manager 10 million trader''s tokens, we still made quite a lot of profit." ¡­. Soon, the bidding war came to an end and the smaller world core was won by the Golden demon emperor at a price of 31 million trader''s tokens which was double the previous highest price of a world core. "Now, let''s move on to the next item." The subus didn''t waste much as she continued with the items. ¡­. In one of the special chambers of the auction, "What did I say? The Golden Demon emperor would buy the world core at any cost." Ajax replied to the auction manager with a slight smile on his face. "Sir Destruction is right!" The manager was nodding his head excitedly as he could not believe his eyes that the price had reached the 31 million trader''s tokens. "It''s all thanks to the Blood Vampire King." Ajax looked at the special chamber on the opposite side and replied to the auction manager. "That''s right! However, I still don''t know how you managed to convince the blood vampire king to y along with us?" The auction manager was curious and asked Ajax. "You don''t have to know that." Ajax shook his head. "It''s alright, sir! I am getting what you promised me. Here are your 25 million trader''s tokens and the remaining 6 million trader''s tokens will be managermission." The auction manager transferred the funds to Ajax. "Good." Ajax revealed a satisfied smile on his face and asked, "Can you handle the world-conquering sect all by yourself?" "What World-conquering sect? In the past they used to be all-powerful; however, because of the fallen genius Aron, they lost all their power and became just another sect." The auction manager scoffed at the world-conquering sect and continued, "If they didn''t have the ability to retrieve the world cores from the worlds, they would be useless. Therefore, you don''t have to worry about me sorry. I will take care of them." The auction manager assured Ajax with a confident smile. "Okay then. I will leave." Ajax had already got the information on all the items that were auctioned off today and he was not interested in any of them. Therefore, he decided to leave the auction house and finish the deals he made with the individual cultivators. "World-conquering sect, finally, it is time for me to take my revenge on you for looking down on me." After Ajax left, the auction manager looked at the special chamber in which the world-conquering sect was sitting and muttered under his breath. Chapter 1540 Managers Revenge (2) Chapter 1540 Manager''s Revenge (2) ''I hope the auction manager will take care of the World-conquering sect.'' Ajax didn''t bother to watch the auction anymore as there were no items that piqued his interest. Instead, he entered the special trader''s chamber as he waited for the cultivators to finish his deals with them one by one. Even though he was not interested in the items that don''t mean the other special cultivators would leave the auction for him. So, he let them bid for the items in the auction house as he rxed in the special trader''s chambers by sipping the Mind calming tea. ''If I ask them, they might leave the auction; however, it is better to not ask too much from them.'' Since he was the only source for the world cores other than the world conquering sect, Ajax knew his words contained some power that would make the other cultivators do what he wanted. However, Ajax was not nning to keep on asking them because he had already asked the Blood Vampire King, the elemental human emperors, the nightmare fiend, and the jade dragonling to bid for his world core. Ajax let them know beforehand that the Golden Demon Emperor was in need of the world cores and he would pay any price to buy it. Of course, if the Golden Demon Emperor gave up on bidding and and increased the value of the smaller world core to 31 million trader''s tokens. they had to buy the smaller world core at a high price, Ajax promised that he would refund whatever the price was above 20 million trader''s tokens. Therefore, all the special cultivators were excited to join the bid and increased the value of the smaller world core to 31 million trader''s tokens. ''Even though making the Golden Demon Emperor spend 15 million trader''s tokens was not much, in the long term it will affect his ability to spend the trader''s tokens so carelessly.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself and continued, ''Moreover, it is just a test and his true loss begins when I sell the normal grade world cores.'' The average price for the smaller world cores was only 10 million and the highest it ever reached was 15 million trader''s tokens; however, Ajax made the golden demon emperor buy it for 30 million. In the future, he was nning to do the same things when he put the normal world cores for the auction. The general price of the normal world core was around 500 million and the highest it ever reached was 1.1 billion trader''s tokens; however, Ajax was nning to make the golden demon emperor buy it for at least 2 billion trader''s tokens. ''If I continue to loot the Golden Demon Emperor''s wealth, I can buy a living residence in the mid-level auction house in no time.'' Ajax became excited just thinking about it. ''However, I still don''t know what the Golden Demon Emperor was nning to do by collecting so many world cores.'' Nevertheless, there was something that bothered Ajax and it was why the Golden Demon Emperor needs so many world cores. Even though Ajax already knew the uses of the world core, he was unable to guess for what purpose the Golden Demon Emperor was going to use the world cores. The world core has a wide range of uses starting from increasing the growth speed of a world to creating pills and from nurturing the world trees to weapon-refining. That''s not it! They can be used in healing, formations, and whatnot. So, it was very hard to guess for what purpose a cultivator could use the world core unless he knew that cultivator personally. ''I think it''s time to contact my two demon ves.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought about the two Golden Demon ves that were already mingled in the Golden Demon Emperor''s army and even joined the ranks of the Demon apostles. ''Since they have already be the Emperor realm demons, I think they must have already be the demon apostles.'' Ajax had not contacted them after the war between the Purple Stone World and the Five Demon Emperors had ended. Therefore, Ajax didn''t have a clue about their current ranks; however, with the help of the system, he could tell their cultivation and that''s how he knew they had already be the emperor''s realm demons. ''Ding, The host can''t contact the two demon ves. Please wait until the system finishes its upgrade. When he tried to contact the two golden demon ves, Ajax received the system notification, informing him that he could not contact them for now. ''It looks like I have to either wait or meet them personally. However, I don''t think thetter one will happen anytime soon. So, I have to wait and see how things turn out with the Golden Demon Emperor.'' Other than making the Golden Demon Emperor suffer the losses from buying the world cores, Ajax had already devised a master n which he nned to execute after 15 days because that''s when the trade between Ajax and the Golden demon emperor would be done. ''If everything turns out well, I don''t even have to give him my normal world core and I can get to keep his one billion trader''s tokens.'' There were so many things that Ajax could not wait to happen; however, he remained patient as rushing things would only result in a disaster. ¡­.. While he was waiting for the special cultivators toe, the auction hade to an end after 20 minutes. "Manager, why aren''t you paying us our trader''s tokens? Didn''t you know we don''t like waiting?" The current sect leader of the World-conquering sect asked the manager with a serious look on his face. The middle-aged man was already filled with anger that he had to pay 11 million trader''s tokens from the 31 million trader''s tokens that his smaller world core earned through the bidding. However, the manager, who used to send the money as soon as their item''s bidding finished, had not sent it even after the end of the auction. If not for the fact that he earned so much from the smaller world core, the old man and the middle-aged man were being patient. "Mr. Junior World Conqueror, if you don''t like waiting, then you can leave the auction house. Is there someone stopping you from leaving?" However, the manager who was waiting to take revenge replied to the middle-aged man with a slight smile. "What did you say?" The middle-aged man''s id was ''Junior World Conqueror'' and the old man''s id was ''Senior World Conqueror''. Hearing the manager''s words, the middle-aged man became furious and was about to hit him; however, he was stopped by the old man. "Mr. Manager, let''s not fight." The old man sensed something was not right and decided not to fight with the manager and asked with a patient look, "When will you give us our 21 million trader''s tokens. If you want you can take an additional one million trader''s tokens to your 10 million trader''s token and transfer us the fund as soon as possible." Even though the old man was calm, he intentionally said themission that the auction manager asked his son to give from the money their world core has made. "What did you say?" The auction manager who was calm had suddenly turned fierce as he released the dragon power to suppress both the old man and the middle-aged man. "Didn''t you ask for 10 million trader''s tokens for manually increasing the price of the world core?" The dragon force didn''t affect the old man as much as it did the middle-aged man as he calmly replied to the manager. ''What?'' ''The auction manager could do that?'' The surroundings cultivators who were leaving the auction house were shocked when they heard the old man''s words and stopped to witness the fight. "So, can you take the responsibility for what you just said?" The auction managed calmed down and asked the old man with a scoff. "Why not?" Seeing that the old man had garnered the attention of the cultivators, he replied without thinking much. ''How dare a mere auction manager toy with us?'' This was the only thought in the old man''s head as he decided to teach him a lesson. ''Excellent. They have taken the bait.'' On the other hand, the auction managerughed inside his heart and said, "Good. Since you said you will take the responsibility I will show you something that the auction house''s formation has recorded." With a single wave, a holographic projection appeared in the mid-air which could be seen by all the cultivators in that ce. In that projection, there was a heated argument between the auction manager and the middle-aged man. "You have to waive off themission from all the items we sell through your auction house and even give us one percent from your ticket sales." The middle-aged man in the projection said to the manager. "What if I can''t do it?" "Then I will just use the low-level auction house in the low-level trader''s realm and sell the world cores¡­.Haha." "I can waive off the auction house''smission; however, I can''t pay you anything extra." "What a cheapskate! Fine¡­whatever." The conversation between the middle-aged man and the auction manager was seen by everyone. ''So, it was true that the world conquering sect threatens the auction houses to pay them extra and waive off theirmission.'' Soon, all the cultivators who watched the projection confirmed the rumors that they used to hear. "Manager, what does it have anything to do?" The old man became furious. "After thinking hard, I have used my authority to ban the world-conquering sect from selling their items through my auction house." Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation! Creation is hard, cheer me up! I tagged this book,e and support me with a thumbs up! Like it ? Add to library£¡ Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know. vinayraj CREATOR''S THOUGHT Comment 1 VIEW ALL Post your firstment! 20:49 Chapter 1541 Completing the First Deal Chapter 1541 Completing the First Deal "What did you say? Banned from selling our items?" Junior world conqueror became shocked for a moment before asking in a furious tone. "If you have a problem with your ear, go visit a healer." The manager scoffed at both the middle-aged man and the old man. "Here is your smaller world core. I didn''t auction it today." At the same time, he didn''t give them any time to speak as he continued, "Try to auction it in the low-level auction house, I doubt they will ept you after enduring your arrogant behaviour." After throwing the smaller world core at the father and son duo, the auction manager didn''t waste any time and silently left from there. ''What? The world-conquering sect is banned from selling their items in the mid-level auction house?'' ''Hey, didn''t you hear the auction manager''sst words?'' ''He asked them to sell their items in the low-level auction house, right? What''s there to hear about it?'' ''Idiot. The auction manager indirectly said the world-conquering sect is pretty much banned from the low-level auction house.'' ''What?'' ''They should have seen iting. With such an attitude, I wonder what they were trying to prove and achieve!'' ''I heard they were nning to revive their world-conquering sect. What a joke!'' Soon, the cultivators around them started mocking the angry duo before leaving the auction house. "Son, let''s go." The old man was seething with fury; however, he suppressed it and decided to leave the trader''s realm. "But father, how can we leave just like that? That b*stard manager¡­ I am going to show him the true power¡­." p! Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, the old man pped him before pulling his son away from the auction house and soon, they left the trader''s realm to carefully think about their next move. ''Haha¡­it felt very nice to take revenge on them in front of everyone.'' Even though the auction manager left earlier, he was still observing the duo and he felt very satisfied with the cultivator''sments. What''s more, when he saw the middle-aged man getting pped by his father, it gave him even more satisfaction. ''If word spreads about them getting banned from the auction houses from selling their world cores, everyone will take advantage of them. I wonder how is buy from them and how much they will get from it,'' The auction manager knew there would always be someone who was willing to buy the world core; however, the price they offer would be very lowpared to the price they can get from the auction house. ''Moreover, there is Sir Harbinger of the Destruction who is selling world cores. He was able to make the same deal with the low-level auction house and a few other cultivators. So, their chances of selling world cores at a high price like before would be very less.'' Soon, the auction manager went to his chamber and started calcting his profits from today''s auction. ... Outside the auction house, "Father, why don''t we give it a try in the low-level auction house? The auction manager might be fooling us?" Even though the middle-aged man got pped by his father, he was still unwilling to ept the fact that they got banned from both auction houses and wanted to check for themselves. "Are you embarrassed already? Do you want to get embarrassed even more by going to the low-level auction house?" The old man scoffed at his son and was about to leave the trader''s realm; however, they were stopped by the Golden Demon Emperor. "I am willing to pay 10 million trader''s tokens for your world core. If you like my offer, you can contact me." The Golden Demon Emperor didn''t even bother to wait for their reply as he continued to walk. ''Hm'' Suddenly, he thought of something and turned his head to say, "By the way, each day to make me wait for your world core, I will minus one million trader''s tokens. So, don''t take too long to think." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the Golden Demon Emperor entered the low-level auction house where another smaller world core was being auctioned off. Even though the Golden Demon Emperor was in need of the world cores and willing to pay as much money as he could, he knew that the world-conquering sect was pretty much done for. ''I have already given him a good offer. Let''s see whether the other cultivators would buy the smaller world core from them at the same time.'' The Golden Demon Emperor was not worried that some other cultivator would offer higher than what he just offered because the members of the world-conquering sect were so full of themselves and didn''t manage to secure rtions with the other cultivator. Moreover, they turned down all the individual cultivators who wanted to buy the world cores from their direction with their sharp tongues. Therefore, no one would bother to buy from them and that''s what you get for not securing your rtions when you are in a good position. "What? 10 million trader''s tokens only? What did he take the world core for?" The middle-aged man was angry and didn''t have any thoughts about selling the world core at such a low price. "..." On the other hand, the old man remained silent and thought, ''It looks like there is someone who has the ability to retrieve the world cores. Who is that b*stard that is pushing us to a corner?'' ''No one has the ability to retrieve the world cores other than the members of the world-conquering sect. How could someone other than my sect have such an ability?'' When he thought about it, the old man could not help but clench his fists in anger. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, he thought of something and muttered under his breath, ''Only that b*stard Aron has the ability. Don''t tell me that b*stard is still alive and messing with our world-conquering sect?'' ''No¡­it''s impossible. There is no way he could still be alive. I have personally watched his body get obliteratedpletely along with his soul.'' However, the old man rejected the thought of Aron being still alive and thought, ''Maybe he had left a descendant or a disciple in his universe and that b*stard might be messing with my world-conquering sect.'' This was the only thought that the old man had in his head. ''For now, I should just go back and discuss the things with the elders of the sects and see what they would say.'' Nevertheless, he silently left the trader''s realm with his son while thinking about everything that happened today. ¡­. In the special trader''s chambers. "Thank you for helping me today." Nightmare Fiend and the Jade Dragonling entered the special trader''s chambers and the moment he saw them, Ajax thanked him. "It''s alright! I didn''t like the world-conquering sect from the beginning. So, it''s alright!" Nightmare Fiend shook his head. "Here, these are your world cores." Ajax nodded his head and without wasting any time, he gave them a world core each just like he promised. "Thank you." Both the Nightmare Fiend and the jade Dragonling received the smaller world cores with an exciting look and after checking world cores for a while, they stored them away. "Young master, aren''t you forgetting something?" After storing the world core away, the Nightmare Fiend asked Ajax with an expectant look. ''Huh?'' Ajax raised his brows and thought for a moment before realizing what he forgot. "My demonic avatar was sessfully upgraded to the legendary grade and it gained the ability to have one of my skills and cultivation techniques." Ajax didn''t say that he could add the bloodline and it awakened a few more abilities by unlocking the Blessing refining technique in "Oh. It looks like you got a good weapon refiner with you." The nightmare fiend was surprsied for a moment and said with a order to not raise any suspicions. "Oh. It looks like you got a good weapon refiner with you." The nightmare fiend was surprsied for a moment and said with a smile. "Yes. He is pretty good." Ajax knew Rurbeak would be a top-notch weapon-refiner as long as he was provided with enough cultivation resources. So, he was proud to have someone like Rurbeak as his follower. "Can he upgrade the legendary grade items into a mythical grade?" The nightmare fiend asked Ajax after thinking for a moment. "As for now, he can''t. But in the future, he will definitely do it." Ajax didn''t hide the fact about the Rurbeak as he was proud of it. "Can you let me know when your weapon-refiner has the ability to refine the mythical grade weapons and artifacts? I will pay the good¡­" "Sure. It''s not a big problem." Before the nightmare fiend could finish his words, Ajax agreed to his request without thinking much. Ajax was already nning to take gigs on behalf of Rurbeak from the rich cultivators like the nightmare fiend and others. ''Nightmare fiend had helped me get theher essence and the fur without asking for money. This is the least I could do for him.'' Moreover, it would help Rubeak be more proficient in refining the mythical grade weapons. Therefore, there was no reason for Ajax to deny the Nightmare fiend''s request. "Thank you." Nightmare Fiend thanked Ajax and asked, "Also, if you need anything, you can always feel free to contact me." "Then, I want Nightmare Fruits. I will buy all of them." Ajax didn''t hesitate anymore as he asked the nightmare fiend, "Let''s continue the deal of one nightmare fruit and the 15 million trader''s tokens. Let''s make another deal that you supply me with as many nightmare fruits as possible and I will buy them from you." Chapter 1542 Entering the Jade Pool Chapter 1542 Entering the Jade Pool Ajax needed the nightmare fruits to be stronger using the new system function ''Nightmare World''. Therefore, Ajax was willing to pay the market price for the nightmare fruits. "Young master, I have five nightmare fruits with me back in my treasury. I can give them to you for a smaller world core. What do you say?" Nightmare Fiend thought about it for a moment and proposed a deal. "Deal." A smaller world core in exchange for five nightmare fruits. It was a nice deal for Ajax. Hence, there was no need to reject it. "However, let me inform you something." Unlike the elemental human emperors, Nightmare Fiend treated Ajax with honesty and wanted to say some truth about the Nightmare fruit. "Only the Nightmare fiends can consume it three times and as for the other races, they would be killed if they consume more than one. So, I suggest the young master consume more than one." "I already know that. Thanks for the reminder." Ajax learned about that from the system; however, after he unlocked the new system function ''Nightmare World'', Ajax didn''t have to worry about it. ''The system has asked me to consume the nightmare fruits to activate the function and ording to it, I will be fine.'' Ajax was not worried much about it as his goal was to collect as many nightmare fruits as possible. ''Even if I don''t achieve something great in the nightmare world, all I have to do is survive and umte as many nightmare points as possible.'' Ajax had his own ns for his next nightmare world''s visit. "As long as you know it is good." Nightmare Fiend nodded and said, "I will bring the nightmare fruits right away." "There is no need to hurry. I will visit the Jade Dragonling''s world and enter the Jade Pool ande back to take them." Ajax had already nned to go to the Jade Dragonlings'' world to spend his one-day stay in the Jade Pool. After that, he nned to visit the Floating Ind from the metal elemental human emperor''s world. ''The thing I need the most inside the Floating Ind is strength and ording to the system information on the Jade Pool can increase the level of my cultivator''s souls andws to the Emperor realm.'' Ajax was excited about it and wanted to see how much it would help him. "Did you make the preparations to teleport me to your world?" Since they were in the trader''s realm in their spirit consciousness form, they had to make a special request to the managers of the trader''s realm who could help the trader travel between worlds using their physical world. Of course, they have to pay for that privilege and the manager charges the trader who travels to the other trader''s world using their physical body, on a daily basis. "I have already paid one million trader''s tokens and the moment you spend 24 hours in the Jade Pool, you will be automatically teleported back to your world." The Jade Dragonling promised to take care of those things. So, Ajax didn''t bother himself with those things and was ready to enter the Jade Dragonling''s world. "Use this Trader''s pass toe to my world. I will open the Jade Pool by the time you arrive." As soon as he finished his words, the Jade Dragonling took the smaller world core from Ajax and disappeared from the special trader''s chambers. "Young master, all the best. The moment youe out of the portal, your cultivation would reach the Emperor realm." Soon, the Nightmare Fiend also left the special trader''s chambers. ''I wonder whether I can really break through to the emperor''s realm with the help of the Jade Pool.'' The reason why Ajax was nning to enter the Jade Pool was to increase the levels of his cultivator''sw and the souls. Soon, Ajax left the trader''s realm and opened his eyes in the Normal Dwarf World. ''Swiish'' The moment he opened his eyes, Ajax saw a shining talisman in his hands and he knew it was none other than the temporary pass for him to enter the Jade Dragon''s Greater World for 24 hours. ''Inject'' With a single thought, Ajax injected his essence of nature into the talisman and as feedback, he received some foreign information in his head. ''Don''t do anything illegal in the other world.'' ''If you kill the other party of your deal, you will be killed before you could notice.'' ''The trader doesn''t have to worry about the other party killing you because he should not be directly or indirectly responsible for your death.'' ''If the other part of your deal tries to kill you, he will be killed too.'' ''Also, if the trader feels threatened in the other world, with a simple thought, you can return to your world.'' The foreign information that entered his head was none other than the rules and regtions that he had to follow and have to know when travelling to the other worlds with the help of the Trader''s realm. "I already know them. That''s why I am travelling to the other world without any fear." Why would Ajax risk entering a greater world after revealing his ability to retrieve the world core? All the powerful cultivators in the universe want to capture him and use his ability for themselves; however, they could not show it openly. If they do, Ajax could not sell them his world cores and it would be a problem for them. As for now, they were just waiting for an opportunity to capture Ajax and sooner orter, they knew it woulde. ''Activate.'' With a thought, a portal opened in front of Ajax and without wasting any time, he entered it. ... In the Jade Dragon''s Greater World. "Son, did you really form a long-term contract with him?" A huge Jade Dragon asked the young dragonling with a serious look in its eyes. "Yes, father. The contractsts for a decade and every month, he would provide us with a smaller world core." The jade dragonling was excited and he hurriedly informed his father about it. "Good." The huge Jade Dragon nodded its head and said, "Don''t mess up the rtionship with him even though the dealsts for a decade. Try to be close and if possible be sworn brothers with him." "Are you sure about it, father? Didn''t you say that our dragons are the higher ranking racepared to the human race?" dragons. "Even though the humans were not a superior race, there would be The Jade Dragonling felt conflicted because in the past his father used to say that the humans were not as superior as them, the dragons. "Even though the humans were not a superior race, there would be a single human among the billions of humans. He would be as superior as us, the dragons. So, there is no need to think much about it and try to be his sworn brothers." This time it was not a huge Jade Dragon; instead, it was a huge dragon that was both Jade and Golden in colour. "Mother." The Jade Dragonling was surprised by the sudden appearance of his mother and hurriedly rushed towards her. "Did you finish your cultivation?" The huge Jade Dragon asked the Golden Jade Dragon as he saw her y with their son. "I need some time to be a quasi-immortal realm cultivator. At that time, I have to find a way to ascend to the immortal realm." The mother dragon replied in a calm tone. "Is it because of him?" Looking at the Jade Dragonling, the Jade Dragon asked her. How could he not know what''s stopping her from bing a quasi-immortal realm cultivator? The moment she became an immortal cultivator, she had to leave everything behind and ascend to the immortal world and because of their child, she could not leave. "I am waiting for him to be the Emperor realm dragon and then I can be a quasi-immortal beast and try to find a way to enter the immortal realm." The Golden Jade Dragon replied in a soft voice. ''...'' The Jade Dragon remained silent for a moment before saying, "I read in one of our ancient records left by our ancestors who ascended to the immortal realm that the world cores can be used to ascend to the immortal realm." "I heard about it too." The mother dragon nodded her head and looked at their child before saying, "Son, if that is really true, you are helping mother in her cultivation." "Mother, you have to be careful after ascending to the immortal realm. I heard it is very dangerous that the newly became immortal realm cultivators would find it is hard to survive in that ce." Jade Dragonling replied with a concerned look on his face, making his parents look at him lovingly. "As long as we have enough world cores, it won''t be a problem for a newly ascended immortal realm cultivator to survive in that ce. So, we have to gather as many world cores as possible." The two huge dragons didn''t know how to use the world cores to ascend to the immortal realm; however, for now, they only n to collect them and as for how to use them, they decided to see how things will turn out in the future. "Anyway, that human might appear here. Let''s send him into the Jade Pool as soon as possible." ''Swoosh'' Just as the father dragon finished his words, Ajax appeared and soon, the huge dragons opened a huge gate with their powers and sent Ajax into it. ''Ding, The system detected Pure Jade Energy. Unlocking the Jade Space inside the host. Chapter 1543 Upgrading the Cultivators Laws Chapter 1543 Upgrading the Cultivator''s Laws ''Ding, The system detected Pure Jade Energy. Unlocking the Jade Space inside the host. As soon as Ajax stepped into the Jade Pool, he received a system notification that pleasantly surprised him. ''Jade Space? Is it simr to the Sacred Astral Space and Demonic Space I unlocked previously?'' Without much exnation from the system, Ajax could guess what it was and thought, ''I wonder what is the speciality of the Jade Energy.'' So far, he had seen and learned about the speciality of various energies and essences. Sacred Energy can be used to heal physical injuries whereas Astral Energy can heal soul-rted injuries. As for the Demonic Essence, nt Essence, and Nether Essence, they have their own uses like for his demonic form, nurturing the nts and trees, and boosting the effects of a weapon or artifact, respectively. Therefore, Ajax was curious about Jade Energy and what he could do with it. ''Ding, The host can use Jade Energy to upgrade his cultivator''sws and cultivator''sws. ''Ding, Collect as many units of the Jade Energy in your newly unlocked Jade Space. Compared to the regr system, the default system replied in its robotic voice as usual before he could even ask it. ''I can upgrade them using Jade Energy?'' Ajax raised his brows in surprise and without any hesitation, he fully entered the Jade Pool. ''Circte.'' Ajax closed his eyes and circted the crude version of the Blessed Refining Technique. ''If I can''t receive enough Jade Energy by circting the crude version of the Blessed refining energy technique, then I don''t have any other choice but and activating the real version of the Blessed refining technique.'' Even though he was saving the Blessed refining technique forter, if it was necessary, Ajax didn''t mind activating it. Because if he could not absorb the Jade Energy from the Jade Pool, what''s the use of entering it by paying a smaller world core? Therefore, he thought of activating it while waiting for the system notification of how much Jade Energy he was receiving through the crude version of the cultivation technique. ''Ding, + 100 units of Jade Energy are added to the host''s Jade Space. ''Ding, ''Huh?'' Looking at the two system notifications, Ajax frowned and asked the system, ''How many units do I need to upgrade my cultivator''sws and souls?'' Since his Jade Space was already full just by using the crude version of the cultivation technique, he didn''t think about activating the Blessed refining technique yet. Instead, he wanted to know how to use Jade Energy to upgrade his cultivator''sw and souls. ''Ding, For Cultivator''sws: From level 1 to 2, the host needs to spend 200 units of Jade Energy. From level 2 to 3, the host needs to spend 300 units of Jade Energy. . . . From level 9 to 10, the host needs to spend 1000 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, The host needs to upgrade at least one cultivator''sw before upgrading the cultivator''s soul. ''Ding, The host can''t use Jade Energy in instalments to upgrade a special cultivator''sw or souls. Soon, the default system sent more and more information, making Ajax nod his head and thest system notification made him frown. ''I can''t use Jade Energy in instalments? Then who could I deplete it or upgrade my Jade Space?'' Since Ajax''s Jade Space had a capacity of only 100 units, he could not even upgrade his level 1 cultivator''sw. ''Ding, The host can spend the Jade Energy on the Jade Space to increase its capacity just like the Sacred Astral Space. ''Ding, However, the host needs to spend 10 units just to increase the capacity of the Jade Space by one unit. ''What the¡­.10 units just to increase one unit of its capacity?'' Ajax felt it was a bit difficult; however, he didn''t waste any time and decided to try upgrading it. Since he could only stay in the Jade Pool for 24 hours, Ajax didn''t want to waste any time and make good use of the Jade Pool. ''Ding, The host spent 100 Jade Energy units to increase his Jade Space''s capacity. ''Ding, The host''s Jade Space''s capacity increased by 10 units. ''Circte'' Ajax didn''t think much about the 10-unit increase in the Jade Space capacity as he circted the crude version of the Blessed refining technique once again. ''Ding, + 110 units of Jade Energy are added to the host''s Jade Space. ''Ding, The Jade Space is fully filled. Please deplete the Jade Energy to absorb more. Just like before, in one cirction of the crude version of the Blessed refining technique, Ajax''s Jade Space gotpletely filled. ''So, the crude version of the Blessed Refining Technique is still so powerful.'' The only thing Ajax felt a little better was that his crude version of the cultivation technique could instantly fill the Jade Space with Jade Energy. Time continued to pass and in a sh, six hours a day passed by, ''Ding, The host spent 910 Jade Energy units to increase his Jade Space''s capacity. ''Ding, The host''s Jade Space''s capacity increased by 91 units. ''Ding, The host''s Jade Space: 0/ 1001 units. ''It''s time to upgrade the cultivator''sws.'' Ajax opened his eyes with a slight smile and decided to use the Jade Energy in his Jade Space instead of wasting them. Even though Ajax''s Jade Space had long crossed 200 units capacity, he didn''t stop upgrading it because he wanted to upgrade his cultivator''sw by multiple levels in a single go. Therefore, he focused more on upgrading Jade Space''s capacity. ''Circte'' The Jade Space is fully filled. Please deplete the Jade Energy to absorb more. After this cirction, Ajax decided to take a break from upgrading the Jade Space''s capacity and upgrade his cultivator''sw which was the true purpose of making a deal with the Jade Dragonling. ''Ding, + 1000 units of Jade Energy are added to the host''s Jade Space. ''Ding, The Jade Space is fully filled. Please deplete the Jade Energy to absorb more. Just like always, Ajax''s crude version of the Blessed refining technique was enough to instantly fill his Jade Space with a single cirction. ''Let''s see what I should upgrade now?'' With an excited look on his face, Ajax asked the system, ''System, show me the list of Cultivator''sws I have.'' ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sws: 1) Orb of Death (level 1). 2) Dream Realm (Level 1). 3) Void ofher (level 6). Currently, Ajax had three cultivator''sws and among which two of them were level 1. ''Let''s upgrade my favourite cultivator''sw.'' For Ajax, the order of which cultivator''sw he was upgrading doesn''t matter because he was nning to upgrade all of them today before leaving the Jade Pool. ''For now, I will just focus on cultivator''sw and if I don''t have enough time to upgrade the cultivator''s souls, I cane again next month.'' Since the deal with the Jade Dragonling was long, Ajax didn''t worry he would note to the Jade Pool. So, he decided to take his sweet time and make the decisions with a calm head. ''Ding, 200 units of Jade Energy are consumed. ''Ding, The host''s ''Orb of Death'' is upgraded to level 3. ''Ding, 300 units of Jade Energy are consumed. ''Ding, The host''s ''Orb of Death'' is upgraded to level 4. ''Ding, 400 units of Jade Energy are consumed. ''Ding, The host''s ''Orb of Death'' is upgraded to level 5. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head and his Jade Space was only left with 101 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, The host spent 900 units of Jade Energy and his Jade Space''s capacity was increased by 90 units. ''Ding, Current Jade Space: 101 / 1091 units. ''Excellent. Now, let''s circte one more.'' Ajax didn''t waste any time and circted the crude version. To his surprise, his Jade Space was still filled in a single cirction, making him smile more and more. ''Ding, The host spent 900 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, His cultivator''sw ''Dream Realm'' upgraded to level 5. . . ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, Ajax''s one-day stay in the Jade Pool was about toe to an end. ''Ding, + 10000 units of Jade Energy are added to the host''s Jade Space. ''Ding, The Jade Space is fully filled. Please deplete the Jade Energy to absorb more. For the entire day, Ajax repeated only three steps. 1) Fill the Jade Space. 2) Spend the Jade Energy on the cultivator''sws 3) Increase the Jade Space. After repeatedly following the same steps, Ajax''s Jade Space has finally reached a capacity of 10000 units, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. Of course, he didn''t forget to take some breaks as he was mentally strained, making him think that it was because of the cultivation technique. Nevertheless, after a few-minute breaks asionally, Ajax was able to go back to his work. ''Show me how much I improve for the day.'' ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sws: 1) Orb of Death (level 10). 2) Dream Realm (Level 10). 3) Void ofher (level 10). ''Even though everyone bragged that a cultivator''sws and souls will be upgraded to emperor realm after staying in the Jade Pool for a day, I don''t think it is true.'' Looking at the three peak level 10 cultivator''sws, Ajax thought about the bragging. ''Anyway, it''s time to upgrade my cultivator''sw into the cultivator''s soul.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered, ''Consume 10000 units of the Jade Energy and upgrade my cultivator''sw into a cultivator''s soul.'' Chapter 1544 High-Level King Realm Cultivator Chapter 1544 High-Level King Realm Cultivator For a level 9 cultivator''sw, Ajax needed to spend 1000 units of Jade Energy; however, for a level 10 cultivator''sw to transform into a King realm cultivator''s soul, it needed 10000 units of Jade Energy. Therefore, after upgrading all his cultivator''sws to level 10, Ajax focused on upgrading his Jade Space''s capacity to 10000 units, so that he could transform at least one cultivator''sw into a cultivator''s soul before his time in the Jade Pool getspleted. ''I think I can transform all my cultivator''sws into cultivator''s souls.'' However, to his surprise, Ajax still has enough time to transform the three cultivator''sws into cultivator''s souls. ''Ding, The host spent 10000 units of Jade Energy to transform his cultivator''sw ''Orb of death''. ''Ding, soul. After receiving two system notifications, Ajax saw ck-coloured energye out of his body and started transforming into a transparent humanoid form at a slow pace. ''I don''t have much time to waste looking at it.'' Even though the process of a cultivator''sw transforming into a cultivator''s soul looks great, Ajax didn''t have the time to enjoy it as he still had two more cultivator''sws to transform into the cultivator''s souls. Therefore, he wanted to circted and filled his Jade Space once again. ''I wonder whether I will get the 11000 units of Jade Energy with the crude version of the Blessed refining technique.'' Also, there was something else Ajax was curious about and he wanted to verify it. ''Circte'' So, he started circting the crude version of the Blessed refining technique. ''Ding, The system detected the host is trying to cultivate. Do you want to cancel the transformation of the cultivator''sw into a cultivator''s soul? ''Huh? What?'' Ajax frowned at the sudden appearance of the system notification. ''I can''t do two things at once?'' Without a chocie, Ajax could stop circting his crude version of the blessed refining technique and wait for his cultivator''sw to transform into a cultivator''s soul. Time continued to pass and in a sh 10 minutes passed by. In front of Ajax, there was a ck-coloured transparent human hovering in the mid-air and in his hands there was a ck sphere that was emitting a bright light from time to time. ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sw ''The orb of the Death'' is sessfully transformed into a cultivator''s soul. ''Finally, it is done.'' Ajax didn''t bother to check the information on his newly transformed cultivator''s soul; instead, he directly resumed his absorption. ''Circte'' With a thought, Ajax circted the crude version of the Blessed refining cultivation technique and instantly he felt his Jade Space got filled. ''Ding, The host absorbed 10000 units of Jade Energy. ''Huh?'' However, unlike before, Ajax raised his eyebrows when he saw the number of units of Jade Energy he received from a single rotation of his cultivation technique. Before Ajax could do anything, he was directly teleported back to his normal dwarf world. ... In the Normal Dwarf World, The moment Ajax opened his eyes, he saw the misty words once appear in front of him before disappearing into thin air. ''System, I want to transform my cultivator''sw ''Dream Realm'' into a cultivator''s soul.'' Even though he was not in a great mood, Ajax was not in a bad mood either. At least he felt better that he got transformed after he absorbed 10000 units of Jade Energy. Ajax knew he didn''t have to be in the Jade Pool to upgrade his cultivator''sw and all he needed was Jade Energy. Since he had 10000 units of Jade Energy, he nned to transform another one of his cultivator''sws into a cultivator''s soul. ''Ding, The host spent 10000 units of Jade Energy to transform his cultivator''sw ''Dream Realm''. ''Ding, Please wait while the cultivator''sw transforms into a cultivator''s soul. Soon, a white-coloured energy came out of his body and started transforming into a humanoid soul. ''Sigh¡­If only I have 10 more minutes, I would have '' Since he already got the warning from the system that he could not do anything while the cultivator''sw transformed into a cultivator''s soul, Ajax remained in his ce and sighed. ''Nevertheless,pared to the time I just entered the Jade Pool, my Jade Space is so huge and I can instantly upgrade a level 1 cultivator''sw to level 10 now.'' However, when he thought about visiting the Jade Pool once again in the future, he felt a little better. ''I think I have to unlock my Blessed refining technique when I visit the Jade Pool next time.'' Even though Ajax didn''t want to do it, there was nothing he could do about it because he wanted to absorb as much Jade Energy as possible in a single go. During hisst cirction of the crude version of the Blessed refining technique, Ajax was able to absorb only 10000 units of Jade Energy; however, his Jade Space had a capacity of 11000 units. Even though it was only 1000 units of Jade Energy per cirction, it would be a huge number of units if he circted the cultivation technique again and again for the entire day. Therefore, he decided to finally activate the Blessed refining technique before entering the Jade Pool during his next visit in the next month. ''If I can absorb 10000 units of Jade Energy with a single cirction of the crude version of the cultivation technique, I wonder how much I can absorb with the original version? 100000 units of Jade Energy?'' Ajax could not wait to find out when he visited the Jade Pool for his next visit. ''Ding, The host''s cultivator''sw ''Dream Realm'' is sessfully transformed into a cultivator''s soul. ''Ding, The capacity of the host''s Jade Space has been increased by 1000 units. ''Ding, Jade Space: 0/ 12000 units. Time continued to pass and soon, another one of his cultivator''sws transformed into a cultivator''s soul, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Let''s check how much they have improved.'' Ajax didn''t bother to check the full information on them; instead, he wants to see how much they have improved. ''Ding, Cultivator''s Soul: Dream Realm (Level 1). Effect: The user can pull someone''s spirit consciousness into a dream where he can create his own rules. Note: The duration of the dream varies depending on the target''s strength and the spirit consciousness capacity. The higher the target''s strength, the lower the duration will be. Special skill: Dream Shot, the selected target will enter into an eternal dream that he didn''t want to wake up from. ''Ding, Cultivator''s Soul: The Orb of the Death (Level 1). Effect: The host can revive someone who lost his life within a single hour of their death. Compared to the Dream Realm, there were not many changes to the ''Orb of the Death''. With his Dream Realm cultivator''s soul, Ajax could easily pull the peak king realm cultivators and since his spirit consciousness was much more spacious than high-level emperor realm cultivators, he created by Ajax. might even pull them into a dream. Of course, the higher the strength of his target, the sooner or the lower the chances of getting out of entering a dream that was created by Ajax. As for the ''Orb of the death'', he could not revive someone within an hour of their death. ''It was quite an upgrade from one minute to one hour.'' Ajax was satisfied with the changes in both the cultivator''s soul and muttered, ''However, the conditions for the ''Orb of the death'' remained the same without any changes.'' Even though he could use his cultivator''s soul to revive someone within one hour of their death, there was a big list of conditions to it and Ajax hoped those conditions slowly decreased or were removed from the list. ''Anyway, the trip to the Jade Pool was much more fruitful than I initially expected.'' ording to everyone, those who entered the Jade Pool will have their cultivator''s soul upgraded to the low-level emperor realm, meaning, the cultivator would reach the emperor realm. However, Ajax''s cultivation path was different as he needed world cores to upgrade his cultivation. Even if he had three peak king realm cultivator''s souls, Ajax could not break through to the Emperor realm unless he used a world core. ''Who would have thought that the system would unlock a new energy space in me and I could use it to upgrade my cultivator''sws and souls.'' Even though it would be a little difficult to upgrade the cultivator''s souls and thews in the beginning, as time passes, Ajax could instantly upgrade his newly awakened cultivator''sws or cultivator''s souls to the emperor realm cultivator''s souls. Therefore, in his view, the trip to the Jade Pool was quite fruitful and he was looking forward to entering the Jade Pool once again. ''Anyway, it is time to enter the Floating Ind.'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible. ''However, if Jade Dragonling or Nightmare Fiend sees my cultivation didn''t increase even after entering the Jade Pool, they might doubt something was wrong with them.'' Ajax stopped in his tracks and suddenly thought of something. ''I think it is better to upgrade my strength.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax used a greater world core to upgrade his cultivation from the mid-level king realm to the high-level king realm. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a High-level King realm cultivator. Chapter 1545 Focusing on Alchemy again Chapter 1545 Focusing on Alchemy again Even if his cultivation remained the same aftering out of the Jade Pool, no one would bother Ajax regarding it. However, it would make the other cultivators that were close to him like Nightmare Fiend, Jade Dragonling, and Auction managers from the low-level and mid-level trader''s realm curious. Because they knew that Ajax had entered the Jade Pool and spent 24 hours in it. ''Whether it was good or bad, it is better not to garner any attention.'' This was what he had learned from Elder Boron and kept practising it. That''s how Ajax was able to avoid so many troubles in his cultivation journey. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a High-level King realm cultivator. With the system notification in his head, Ajax felt like he became a lot stronger than before. ''I am bing more and more stronger these days with the least bit of effort.'' Ajax clenched his fists and was eager to use his strength somewhere; however, he knew currently there were no wars and any powerful foes that he had to fight. Of course, he had a few enemies like the Golden Demon Emperor, Astral Demon Emperor and the remaining three Demon Emperors; however, each one of them waspletely out of Ajax''s league. ''With my current strength, I might injure them if I go all out; however, those b*stards have lived for centuries and might have quite a few tricks under their sleeves.'' Nevertheless, just because he could deal some injuries to them, that doesn''t mean he could go and fight them as the other parties have armies that are way more powerful than his armies. Currently, Ajax only has less than 10 emperor realm cultivators that coulde to his rescue whereas each one of the demon emperors has thousands of emperor realm cultivators and hundreds of thousands of high-level demon kings. ''Anyway, it won''t be long before I be an emperor realm cultivator and take care of those b*stards.'' With a cold smile on his face, Ajax checked the remaining world cores in his inventory. ''Ding, Smaller World Core: 11 Normal World Core: 1 Greater World Core: 0 After using a Greater World Core to increase his cultivation, his world cores decreased by a huge amount. However, he still has 11 smaller world cores and he was nning toplete the deals with the cultivators with whom he had signed the contract. ''That one normal world core is to toy with the Golden Demon Emperor and the remaining smaller world cores are to trade with others or auction them off.'' Ajax had a clear n for his future once he decided where he had to spend his world cores. ''Anyway, let''s see what are the upgrade requirements to be an Emperor realm cultivator.'' From the beginning of his cultivation journey, the system showed the requirements to break into the next realm and since he was focusing on increasing his strength as fast as possible, Ajax wanted to check the upgrade requirements. So that he could start preparing for them andplete them while his devouring eagles and the exploration teams retrieve more and more smaller world cores. ''Ding, Upgrade requirements to breakthrough to the Emperor realm: 1) At least three peak king realm cultivator''s souls. 2) At least one side profession to be at peak king grade. 3) A world core, the higher the grade of the world core, the better it is for the host. Soon, a list of upgrade requirements appeared in front of Ajax, making him frown a little. ''The first and third requirements were alright, but, what about this second requirement? Where did thise from out of nowhere?'' Ajax didn''t understand why a side profession would appear in the requirements of upgrading his cultivation. ''Even though I know the side professions are important in order for the cultivator to not go crazy; however, isn''t a king grade profession a little hard to achieve?'' Ajax felt a little troubled at the second upgrade requirements achieve a king grade in a profession. ''Currently, I am a rank 6 Alchemist and only one step away from because it would definitely take quite some time and effort to achieve a king grade in a profession. ''Currently, I am a rank 6 Alchemist and only one step away from bing a King grade Alchemist; however, I know how hard it is to achieve.'' Ajax shook his head and thought, ''Anyway, I don''t have a choice but and focus on bing a king-grade alchemist.'' Among all the side professions, Alchemy is the only profession that Ajax was confident in reaching the King grade in the shortest time possible. ''Wait a second¡­.Alchemy needs time and where can I find the time?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and continued thinking, ''Time runs slower on the floating ind and one day is equivalent to one year in it. So, isn''t it the best ce to practice the pill refining?'' When he thought of practising the pill refining on the floating ind, Ajax felt excited and could not help but want to rush into the floating ind. ''Before entering the Floating Ind, I should make the preparations for my pill refining practice.'' However, he didn''t forget to buy the alchemy ingredients. Therefore, after entering the Trader''s realm, he didn''t meet the human metal elemental emperor; instead, he went to the individual stores in the mid-level trader''s realm to buy the required things. "What are you looking for?" The store owner asked Ajax about what he was looking for. "I want the easiest rank 7 pill recipe. Do you have them?" Ajax asked the store owner and continued, "Easiest means there should be fewer ingredients and they should not be rare and I can find them easily." "..." The store owner looked at Ajax and remained speechless. ''Why don''t you just say that you want a recipe where you can turn the air into a king-grade pill?'' This was the inner thought of the store owner; however, since Ajax was a customer, he remained respectful on the surface. Since almost all the cultivators in the mid-level trader''s realm are either emperor realm cultivators or sons or daughters of the powerful families in the greater worlds. Therefore, Ajax felt he could easily find the king-grade pill recipes without any problem. However, what he didn''t know was he was asking a little too much from the store owner. If there were something really as rare as such a pill recipe, why would the store owner bother to sell it through his store? He would directly ce it in the auction house where he would get multiple-fold profits. "Sir, I have these three king-grade recipes that require only three ingredients; however, the ingredients of these recipes are not hard to find nor not easy to find. It depends on the world you live in." After thinking for a moment, the store owner took out three beast skins from an old box. "I have been storing them for a fated alchemist and I think it is finally time for me to part with them." The store owner had a sad look on his face as he ced three pill recipes in front of Ajax. ''Fated one, my a*s.'' However, Ajax was mature enough to know when others were genuine and when they were putting on an act and he could clearly tell the store owner was putting on an act. Moreover, the old box that the store owner took the pill recipes from, didn''t give the mysterious vibe; instead, it gave him the vibes that no one was interested in. ''I wonder if there is anyone who is willing to take that box even if they paid the money.'' Ajax shook his head and decided to check the pill recipes beforeing to a conclusion. [Essence Recovery Pill Reciple] [Strength Multiplier Pill Recipe] [Bloodline Awakening Pill Recipe] Soon, Ajax saw the names of the three pill recipes and among which, he had already refined two of them; however, they were just rank 3 and 4 pills. As for the current pill recipes, they were the upgraded version of those pill recipes and soon, Ajax felt they were what he needed. ''Since I have upgraded the rank 3 and 4 pills of the first two recipes, I can easily refine the King grade pills for the first two pill recipes.'' Ajax didn''t think much and asked, "How much?" ''Also, there is a new pill recipe that is rted to the Bloodline awakening. I wonder why no one is interested in such an interesting pill.'' Ajax knew that even though the first two recipes have good names, they were the useless king realm pill recipes; however, things were different with the bloodline awakening pill recipe. Ajax didn''t care much about the reason why the store owner was unable to use the Bloodline awakening pill recipe as he just wanted to take and enter the floating ind as soon as possible. "Since the customer is a fated one, I will take whatever you give me; however, I hope you won''t give me a low amount either." Basically, the first two pill recipes could be avable even in the low-level trader''s realm and their worth was less than a single trader''s token. However, the store owner added another pill recipe to bait the customers to buy the three of them together for a high price. "101 trader''s tokens." Ajax raised his brows for a moment and took out 101 trader''s tokens and ced them on the counter and quietly turned to leave. ''What a cheapskate! Only 101 trader''s tokens?'' The store owner counted them and scoffed at Ajax''s silhouette before putting another copy of the pill recipes in the old box and going back to his business. Chapter 1546 Planning to bring an entire army into the Floating Island Chapter 1546 nning to bring an entire army into the Floating Ind "Young Master, you are here." Soon, Ajax met the metal elemental emperor in the trader''s realm. Since Ajax looked like a young master from a powerful family from one of the greater human worlds, the metal elemental emperor, as a fellow human cultivator, was more respectful towards Ajax than the other cultivators. "Yes." Ajax nodded and retrieved a smaller world core before giving it to the human emperor. "Here is your smaller world core." "Thank you, young master. I have been waiting for it for thest one month." The metal emperor took the smaller world core into his palms as though it was a rare treasure that needed to be taken care of with full attention. "Young master, I convinced the remaining four elemental emperors to dy the opening of the floating ind for your sake." After storing the smaller world core in his space ring, the metal emperor said to Ajax and continued, "We are ready to activate the gate of the floating ind whenever you are ready, young master." "Thank you." Ajax thanked the metal emperor and the remaining elemental emperors who were so thoughtful in dying the opening of the floating ind. "I am ready now. Shall we enter?" Since Ajax had already made enough preparations to enter the floating ind, he didn''t waste any more time entering the floating ind. Therefore, he informed the metal emperor that he was ready. "Great" Even though they dyed the entering of the floating ind, the elemental emperors didn''t want to dy it for long because the more they dy opening the gate of the floating ind, the harder it would be for them. If they dy for more than a week, then the elemental emperors have to save goodbye to enter the floating ind in that specific month and have to wait for the first day of the new month. Hence, when the metal human emperor heard Ajax''s words he was excited and hurriedly said, "Young master, here is your pass to the Greater Metal World. You can use it by¡­" "There is no need to exin it. I know how it works." Before the metal human emperor could finish his words, Ajax interrupted him because Ajax really knows how the trader''s travel pass works. Just one day back, Ajax used a simr pass to enter the Greater Jade Dragon World to stay in the Jade Pool. Hence, he stopped the metal emperor from exining how to use it. "You can go and make the preparations to activate the gate of the floating ind with the other emperors. I will arrive shortly." ''Swoosh'' After saying those words, Ajax disappeared from the trader''s realm and appeared in the cultivation chamber of his protector''s pce. ''While he makes his preparations, I willplete onest step of my preparations.'' Even though Ajax could enter the Greater Metal World, he didn''t use the pass; instead, he walked out of the protector''s ce. "Master." "Summoning master." Outside the protector''s ce, all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were waiting for him and the moment they saw Ajax walk out of his pce, they hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully. That''s right! His entire army, both the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts have been gathered upon Ajax''s orders. "You assembled earlier than I thought." Ajax nodded his head and revealed a slight smile on his face. Almost all of his summons have already formed small groups or got used to fighting in teams. Hence, they stood in small groups so that Ajax could differentiate between them with a single nce. In the first row, are the eight exploration teams who became so powerful after their venture to the other worlds and conquering them. On the other side, the 10 devourer eagle kings were led by Alder, the king of the devourer eagle kings and beside him stood his demonic avatar and Westin. Other than them, the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that were either newly became the king realm cultivators or about to be the king realm cultivators were standing, waiting for an opportunity from their master to shine. They have never got much opportunity to shine and thought they might be able to prove something this time. "So, are you ready for some adventure?" Looking at nearly 100 elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts in front of him, Ajax was greatly satisfied and asked them with an excited smile. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Everyone nodded their head and read to follow Ajax for some adventure. "Alder, Westin, the n we are going for is not very beneficial for you. You can improve a lot more by conquering smaller demon worlds here." Ajax didn''t think much as he gave Alder, Westin and his demonic avatar to do what they were doing daily and it was to conquer the smaller demon worlds and retrieve the world cores. "Yes, master." Alder and Westin didn''t have any problem with that arrangement as they could improve a lot by conquering the smaller demon worlds. Westin could collect the special demonic energy from killing the demons whereas the devour eagle king could consume the corpses to increase his strength and cultivation. Even though their improvement was minute, they were satisfied with it and since their master said the ce he was taking others was not of much use to them, they didn''t bother much about it. "Collect the smaller world cores and keep them in my room in this protector''s pce." Nodding his head at the huge bird and a demon-looking human, Ajax ordered his demonic avatar. "Prophis, you leave one spot in your internal space world." Ajax asked his space elemental spirit to leave one spot as he was nning to bring someone who was not his elemental spirit or the contracted spirit beast to the floating ind. Of course, on the surface, Ajax made it look like he was going alone with his summons. However, most of them didn''t know he had a huge army of contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits; otherwise, the metal human emperor and the other elemental emperors would have sold an opportunity to enter the floating ind for an even higher price. Nevertheless, Ajax hid itpletely and even brought the non-contracted battle beasts and his fiancee Siora along with him. ''With the help of the world essence I provided to her, Siora broke through to level 3 Emperor Realm in her special cultivation path and sessfully broke free from the connection with the lesser world tree.'' Ajax was quite excited to take his fiancee with him to the floating ind. ''We will have enough time on the floating ind to get to know each other.'' Even though it would be only seven days in the real world, inside the floating ind, it would be seven freaking years. Hence, Ajax felt it was a perfect ce for them to get to know each other. ''Wait a second¡­.did I just sound like an evil man taking the beauty into the wilderness to do something unspeakable?'' Only a momentter Ajax realized his intentions could be easily mistaken and muttered to himself, ''I am only taking her to the floating ind so that she could increase her strength and if she is lucky, she might find a treasure or two in the floating. It''s not a date¡­.it''s not a date.'' If not for his friends who were in the middle of their breakthroughs in the rich essence of nature-filled locations of the five elemental world and the purple stone world, Ajax would have brought them to the floating ind. ''Nevermind, I can take them next month when I enter the floating ind through the other elemental emperor''s world.'' Since he still had four more opportunities and if he felt entering the floating ind was beneficial, Ajax didn''t mind entering the floating ind again and again. ''Anyway, I will bring Siora. The five elemental emperors might be waiting.'' Soon, Ajax disappeared from the world with a single thought. ... In the Five Elemental World. "Son-inw, it is her first time going outside the Five elemental world. Please take good care of her." The lesser world tree was sad to send her daughter away; however, she knew in order to be stronger, a cultivator had to venture outside worlds and broaden their horizon. Since it was Ajax who was taking her, the lesser world tree felt a little better because she knew that venturing into the outside world would make both Ajax and Siora close. "Don''t worry, Mother-inw, I will take care of her." Ajax assured the lesser world tree as he retrieved one world core and gave it to the lesser world tree. "By the time we tree, you also need to be powerful and gain the ability to piece through the world barriers to connect all my worlds with your branches." Ajax was hoping that one day all his worlds could be connected by the world tree. "A lesser world tree like me can''t do that. Only world trees have that ability and it would take thousands of years for me to evolve into a world tree." While saying that, the lesser world tree took the smaller world core from Ajax''s hands and informed Ajax that what he was hoping would be very hard and would take a long time. The World tree has the ability to bind the multiple worlds and by doing so, there would be so many benefits. As for what benefits, Ajax didn''t have any idea about it as he only heard of such a possibility. "Siora, let''s go." Ajax didn''t waste any time in the five elemental world and returned to the normal dwarf world. Chapter 1547 Entering the Floating Island Chapter 1547 Entering the Floating Ind Greater Metal World, "Young master Ajax, are you ready?" The metal human emperor asked Ajax who was wearing a mask to hide his appearance and identity. Even though his appearance in the trader''s realm and the real world is the same, Ajax didn''t want anyone from the trader''s realm to know about his true appearance. Of course, he only nned to hide it until he was strong enough to not fear the high-level emperor realm cultivators and the moment he was confident in taking care of high-level emperor realm cultivators, he would not mind showing his appearance. "I am ready." Looking at the huge portal that appeared in the distance, Ajax nodded his head and flew into it without wasting any time. ... In the Floating Ind, ''Roar'' ''Screech'' The floating ind was filled with huge trees, and thick bushes and most importantly there were countless spirit beasts that roared, growled and screeched from time to time as though they were letting the neers know about their existence. ''Swoosh'' In the middle of a forest, a portal appeared as Ajax walked out of it ''Swoosh'' with a calm look on his face. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he walked out of the portal, the portal behind him closed and Ajax didn''t bother to check it as his focus waspletely on the surroundings. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was checking out his surroundings, a ck silhouette jumped on it. ''Inheritance sword'' ''Grade 5 sword dao'' However, Ajax''s senses were so sharp and since it was his first time entering the Floating Ind, he was being extra careful. ''sh'' ''ng'' However, even with his inheritance swordbined with the grade 5 sword dao was unable to pierce through the skin of the ck silhouette. ''What is that spirit beast?'' Ajax frowned seeing how the spirit beast that attacked him not only had quick speed by the excellent defence. ''It looks like this floating ind is really dangerous. Even one minute didn''t pass and I already encountered a peak king realm spirit beast.'' If it was a regr peak king real spirit beast, Ajax could have killed it in an instant; however, Ajax could tell that the spirit beasts on the floating ind are not normal. Therefore, Ajax thought he should be really careful during his stay on the floating ind. ''Even though it is dangerous, it is good training for me, Siora and my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.'' No matter how much time he spend in the floating world or any regr world, Ajax could not increase his cultivation using the regr methods because he needed world cors to increase his cultivation. However, his reason for entering the floating ind was to sharpen his battle prowess, be a king realm alchemist and most importantly, Ajax wanted his elemental spirit and the contracted spirit beasts to feel some blood-rushing adventure. ''The more powerful the spirit beasts are in this floating ind, the more it is better.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax summoned his entire army. ''Swoosh'' Soon, around 30 elemental spirits and the 25 contracted spirit beasts that including Snow, Raweth, and Sparrow. "Prophis, release the battle beasts, Siora and Rurbeak." Revealing a satisfying look on his face, Ajax asked the space elemental spirit. "Yes, summoning master." Prophis nodded and with a single thought, he released 998 huge battle beasts that were only an inch away from bing the king realm battle beasts. Even though the battle beasts had huge battle prowess that could even rival the king realm beasts and cultivators, their cultivation was the problem. Therefore, Ajax felt during the next seven years, they would not only be the king realm battle beasts but make progress towards the peak king realm. ''World should shake in fear in front of my Battle Beasts army.'' Ajax was nning to create a powerful army with the battle beasts and nning to stomp the demon worlds because the battle beasts were created for the battles. So it would be a waste not to use them properly. "Siora, Rurbeak. Are you alright?" Soon, Ajax asked them because he didn''t know where Prophis'' inner world was asfortable as his inner world. Ajax could tell that his inner world was the mostfortable for beings from normal worlds and a heavenly ce for those from the smaller worlds; however, he could not im the same for Prophis'' inner world. Hence, he asked how Siora and Rurbeak were as soon as they came out of Prophis'' inner world. "It''s alright." Siora nodded and checked her surroundings curiously. To her, everything she saw was something new. So, of course, he was curious about everything and wanted to explore the floating ind. Therefore, she didn''t mind entering Prophis'' inner world for a few minutes. "Master, where can I set up my workshop?" On the other hand, the young dwarf was excited. Rurbeak was added to Prophis'' inner world at thest minute as Ajax thought it would be quite beneficial for the young dwarf to improve his weapon refining skill for the seven years. So, Ajax decided to bring the young dwarf onto the floating ind. When Rurbeak heard that he could experience seven years on a floating ind and only seven days would pass in the real world, he packed so many things like weapon refining equipment, materials and most importantly, his mini portable weapon refining workshop. Hence, he could not wait to find a good location for his portal weapon refining workshop and start his practice. ''Since I will be spending seven years on this floating ind, I have to be an Emperor-grade weaponsmith that could refine the mythical-grade weapons and artifacts.'' Rurbeak had his own ns and goals in his life and he was going to work as hard as possible to reach them. "What''s the hurry? Let''s explore this floating ind a bit and build our territory in it." With a slight smile, Ajax shook his head and asked Rurbeak to wait because he was nning to build a small territory for him and his army to stay in for the next seven years. Even though they would be spending most of the time exploring the floating ind, Ajax felt having a ce called home would increase their determination toe back safely. Moreover, it would also act as a ce for rendezvous for everyone to either rest or to break through in their cultivation. "The 10 devourer eagle kings would always move together and scout the ces ahead of us. It is called Eagle Squad" "As for the eight exploration teams, you will be divided into two squads, Exploration Squad one and two." "Exploration squad one is in charge of all the elemental spirits whereas Exploration squad two is in charge of taking care of the contracted spirit beasts. You have to help them increase their cultivation and battle prowess and at the same time, you have to protect them." Ajax didn''t waste any time and gave one order after another to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts on what they had to do. "Yes, master." "Yes, summoning master." Even though they were excited to explore the floating ind, everyone remained calm and listened to Ajax. ording to their master, a floating ind is a ce where even the emperor realm cultivators would die for a moment of careless. Therefore, they decided to follow Ajax''s orders and explore the floating ind slowly but steadily because they would be staying on the floating ind for the next seven years. "As for the 998 peak rank 6 battle beasts, for now, you need to stay back and I promise you that you will be peak king realm battle beasts by the time we leave this floating ind." Ajax named the 998 battle beasts as the Battle Squad where they would be killing their enemies as a whole group. Since their strength was below the king''s realm, Ajax wanted them toy low for a while and attack a single target as a group when he gave the orders. "Roar" The battle beasts roared in understanding. "Eagle Squad, scout our surroundings and find a good ce for our base." ''Screech'' After receiving orders from Ajax, the 10 devourer eagle kings flew into the sky and started searching for a good location for their base that was going to stay for the next seven years. ''How many elemental spirits did he form a contract with?'' On the other hand, Siora was shocked to see around 30 elemental spirits calling Ajax ''Summoning master''. Even though Ajax had so many contracted spirit beasts and even summoned 998 battle beasts, Siora was not surprised much by it because there was nothing special in owning spirit beast armies. Since Ajax owns four normal worlds, he could gather such a huge spirit beast army or an army from any race from those four worlds; however, forming contracts with the elemental spirits waspletely different. "Everyone who has the defensive moves, use them now and form a huge barrier around us until our eagle squad returns." ''Abyssal Beast God Bloodline.'' Ajax didn''t rest yet as he once again ordered all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to activate their defensive moves. Of course, he didn''t forget to activate his bloodline because he didn''t want to lose a single summons from his army. "Yes, master." ''Advanced Earth Barrier'' ''Metal castle'' ''Mist domain'' . . . Since there were so many elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts and even battle beasts, they eventually made up a powerful defence that could even block one or two sneak attacks from the emperor''s realm spirit beasts on the floating ind. ''Screech'' "Master, we found a tribe that already has a territory close from here." Chapter 1548 Fire Hagravens ?1548 Fire Hagravens "Master, we found a tribe that already has a territory close to here." After an hour or so, the Eagle Squad returned and brought with them some news. "A tribe?" Ajax was obviously surprised at the fact that there was a tribe living on the Floating Ind. Even though the metal elemental emperor mentioned there were various races and spirit beasts inside the floating, he didn''t expect there were tribes in it. ''Nevermind. If there is a tribe, I just have to conquer it and I can avoid building everything from scratch.'' Compared to building a new tribe, conquering the existing tribe and making it his own tribe was much easier for Ajax. Therefore he thought of conquering the tribe. ''If they yield to me, then I will let them alive be my subordinates; however, if they retort, then I don''t have any choice other than killing them.'' After experiencing the cruelws of the cultivation worlds in this universe, his initial innocence had long disappeared and he wouldn''t mind killing others if they didn''t yield. "Did you see which tribe is that?" Soon, he asked about the tribe that the devour eagle kings had scouted. "The tribe belongs to the Hagravens race; however, we don''t know exactly which ss of Hagravens they belong to." One of the devour eagle kings replied with a respectful look. ''Hagravens?'' Ajax raised his brows as he knew brief information about them. Hagravens are humanoid beings that have raven feathers on their hands which gives them the ability to fly. "They are a race that was a little high-levelpared to the human race ording to their battle prowess." Ajax thought and asked a question, "How big is the tribe?" "It was around 10 kilometers in radius and there were huge tower-like structures. The tribe looks grand and any bird wants to live in such a tribe." "What? It has a radius of 10 kilometers and you call that a tribe?" Ajax shook his head and replied, "It must be a city. If they were able to build such a huge city inside the floating ind, they would be so powerful." Just a minute ago, Ajax was having the idea of either conquering the tribe; however, now, he immediately rejected the thought of conquering it. ''I have to find their strength before making my move.'' Obviously, he didn''t give up on conquering the Hagraven''s citypletely; instead, he was putting a hold on it for now. "As I expected. You are the scouting team." Suddenly, Ajax and others heard a powerful voiceing from the sky, which shocked him as he hurriedly looked at the sky. In the sky, there were exactly 12 humanoid beings with reddish ck-coloured feathers on their hands. They were none other than the Hagravens that followed the eagle squad to Ajax''s location. ''When did they arrive? I didn''t even sense them.'' Ajax was shocked at the fact that those 12 Hagravens arrived without making any noise and he or anyone around him sensed them until they spoke. ''Appraise'' Without any hesitation, Ajax checked the strength of the Hagrvens; however, the system was unable to sense, which made him even more worried. ''Damn it¡­is my luck so bad that I encountered such powerful foes just after entering the floating ind?'' Since the system was unable to assess their information, it meant on;y one thing and it was that they were at least mid-level emperor realm cultivators. ''Ajax, the leader of the group is a high-level emperor realm cultivator and the eleven Hagravens behind him have mid-level emperor realm cultivation.'' As Ajax was racking his brain for an idea to either fight or escape from the group of Hagravens, he received a voice transmission from his fiancee, Siora. ''Huh? Eleven Mid-level Emperor realm cultivators and a High-level emperor realm cultivator?'' Ajax was surprised that Siora was able to sense the cultivation of the Hagravens; however, when he thought about her unique cultivation path, he was not surprised. ''From their looks, they definitely do not look friendly.'' Ajax could tell that the Hagravens were not attacking them because they wanted to know about his origins before making a move. "I entered the floating ind today and was searching for some natural treasures." Ajax replied calmly and he didn''t wait for the other party to respond before he attacked them first. ''Attack is the best defence.'' He knew that the Hagravens were known for their cruelty and they would be killing him and his army sooner orter. Therefore, he decided to kill them before more and more Hagravens gathered in their location. ''Teleport'' ''Swoosh'' He started with the effect from the Lightning Cloud Steps and then activated his fourth bloodline. ''Undying dragon god''s bloodline.'' ''Ding, The host has activated the Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation would be temporarily increased to a high-level emperor realm cultivator for the next five minutes. ''Inheritance sword.'' As soon as he activated the bloodline, the system notifications rang in his head; however, Ajax didn''t bother to look at them as he already knew about the effects of the bloodline. While he was in the mid-air, Ajax summoned the inheritance sword and aimed it at the leader of the Hagraven''s group. ''ng'' However, there was a metallic sound resounded in the surroundings as his inheritance sword was blocked by a ck-coloured armour that the leader of the Hagravens was wearing. ''What?'' The leader of the Hagravens and at the same time, Ajax were surprised. One was surprised by the sudden increase in strength and attack from a human and the other was surprised at the fact that even with his high-level emperor realm cultivation, he could not kill his opponent. "Interesting. Your bloodline can increase your cultivation to the high-level emperor realm. I would have killed you for spying on my Hagraven''s city but I found another reason to kill you." The leader of the Hagravens extended his hand to catch Ajax. ''Swoosh'' ''Teleport'' However, Ajax was a little faster as he hurriedly teleported away from the leader of the Hagravens. ''I can''t kill him with my current strength and weapon.'' Even though Ajax''s strength had temporarily increased to a high-level emperor realm, his weapon was still a legend-grade weapon and the leader of the Hagravens was definitely wearing a mythical grade armour. Therefore, Ajax had concluded that it was impossible to kill the leader of the Hagravens with his current weapon because only a mythical grade weapon could pierce through the mythical grade armour. ''Even though I can''t kill him, I can take care of them.'' ''Teleport'' Without any hesitation, he teleported and appeared behind one of the mid-level emperor''s realm Hagraven who were eyeing Siora from the time they appeared. "She is my woman." ''Puchi'' His inheritance sword chopped off Hagraven''s head as Ajax said to him. However, too bad for Hagraven, he didn''t have the time to fight back before falling to the ground. ''Ding, The host killed a mid-level emperor Fire Hagraven and received 1000 spirit points and beast points each. ''Huh? 1000 points each?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he didn''t have the luxury to think about it as he hurriedly targeted his next opponent. ''Devour eagles, devour the escaping souls of these Hagravens.'' First, he gave an order to the devour eagle kings. Since the Emperor realm cultivator would leave their bodies and escape in the soul form, Ajax didn''t want that to happen. The Hagravens were known for their cunningness and cruelty. He knew no matter where they escaped, they would search for them. Therefore, he wanted to do as much damage as possible before escaping from here. ''Puchi'' ''Prophis, send everyone back into your inner world.'' After killing the second Hagraven, Ajax hurriedly ordered the space elemental spirit and transmitted his voice to Siora, Snow, Raweth and Sparrow. ''Can you take care of the mid-level Hagravens? I will stop the high-level Hagraven.'' ''Yes, master.'' ''Yes.'' The three re-cultivation spirit beasts have be the emperor realm spirit beasts and could fight together to even kill the mid-level emperor realm cultivators. As for Siora, she had the cultivation of level 3 emperor realm which was considered a peak low-level emperor realm cultivation. Since her cultivation path was special, her battle prowess would be high and she could take care of a mid-level emperor realm cultivation on her own without any help from others. Hence, if they helped him, they would kill the remaining mid-level emperor realm Hagravens in a short time before fighting the high-level emperor realm Hagravens. ''My goal is to only kill the eleven mid-level emperor realm Hagravens and escape from here as soon as possible.'' Since his boosted cultivation to the high-level emperor realm could onlyst for five minutes, Ajax wanted to escape while his bloodline was still active. Soon, everyone started following Ajax''s orders without wasting any time. "How dare you kill my scout members? I am going to kill you." Obviously, the leader of the Hagravens was furious when he saw Ajax had already killed two of his men and flew at Ajax as sharp ws appeared on his hands. "You want to kill me? Then you have to catch me." Ajax intentionally lured the leader of the Hagravens away from the mid-level emperor realm Hagravens. On the other hand, Prophis hurriedly sent all the battle beasts and while flying away, Ajax sent Prophis and other elemental spirits along with the contracted spirit beasts into his inner world. Except for those he gave tasks, the fully packed ground became empty and Ajax could focus on his battle without worrying about the Hagravens killing the weak members of his army. Chapter ?1549 Jade Dragon Emperors Dragon Blast ?1549 Jade Dragon Emperor''s Dragon st "Damn you, human. I am going to kill you." In the distance, Ajax was intentionally taking the high-level emperor realm Hagraven away from the remaining mid-level emperor realm Hagravens. The leader of the Hagraven was furious that hepletely forgot about his subordinates. Instead of saying forgotten, the leader of the Hagravens was confident in the battle prowess of his subordinates. Since he felt that Ajax was the only one who could deal some damage to him or his team members, the leader of the Hagravens was determined to kill him. ''As long as I stop him from killing my subordinates, my subordinates will take care of this human''s subordinates.'' The Leader of the Hagravens scoffed at Ajax and continued to pursue him. However, what the leader of the Hagravens didn''t know was, that his remaining nine mid-level emperor realm subordinates were having a hard time killing Snow and others. ... ''Lightning Descent'' ''Heavenly Fire Burst'' ''Nether realm''s devouring mist'' The three re-cultivated spirit beasts, Snow, Raweth and Sparrow used some of their powerful attacks as they fought two mid-level emperor realm Hagravens each. Even though Snow and others entered the Emperor realm recently and only have the cultivation of low-level Emperor realm, just like Ajax, they have the battle prowess that were enough to fight mid-level Emperor realm cultivators and even kill them. ''Life-sucking vines.'' On the other hand, Siora directly used the most powerful skill that she was born with and controlled three huge vines to trap three Mid-level emperor realm Hagravens. Even though the three Hagravens struggled a lot and tried to free themselves from the vines, they were unable to do it. As time passed by, their violent struggling started slowing down because their life was being sucked through the vines that Siora summoned from the ground. If the Leader of the Hagravens saw the scenes where his nine emperor realm subordinates were losing against the low-level emperor realm contracted spirit beasts and an Elf, he would cough a mouthful of blood. "I think the fight over there must have been finished. Shall we go back now?" After getting the confirmation that Snow and others had almost dealt with their opponents, Ajax asked the leader of the Hagravens with a slight smile. "What?" The leader of the Hagravens frowned as he turned his head to look in the direction of his subordinates. "Heaven''s destroyer, Inheritance Sword, Battle Axe and LongBow, it''s time to show me how much damage you can make." Seeing that the leader of the Hagravens shifts his attention, Ajax summoned all his weapons. ''Ding, The host''s title ''Weapons Master'' is activated. ''Ding, Effect: 1) 20 percent increase in attacking power when using these three types of weapons. 2) When the target gets a cut from all four weapons, his defence will be decreased by 50 percent. As soon as he summoned his four legend-grade weapons, Ajax''s title triggered and showed the title''s effects. ''Let''s see whether I can deal some critical damage to him.'' What Ajax hoped when using the four weapons was to at least injure the leader of the Hagravens. As for killing him, Ajax didn''t think much about it now. ''If I can make a cut on him with any of these four weapons, then I can think of killing him.'' Since his opponent''s defence would drop by 50 percent upon getting cut by the weapons, Ajax thought he could only think of killing after triggering the second effect of the Weapons master. ''However, I don''t think any of my weapons are capable of leaving a cut on him with his mythical grade armour.'' Ajax shook his head and threw three of his four weapons at the leader of the Hagravens. ''Swoosh'' The inheritance sword, the heaven''s destroyer spear and the Battle-axe rushed at the leader of the Hagravens at an incredible speed. ''Swoosh'' As for the longbow, it created a legend-grade arrow which Ajax released it aiming at his target. Of course, for every weapon, he added his weapon dao of grade 5. Even with such abination, Ajax was not fully confident in injuring the leader of the Hagravens. That''s how powerful a high-level emperor''s realm cultivation with mythical-grade armour. "Where are you looking? Keep your eyes on your target in a fight." Just before the weapons couldnd their hit on the leader of the Hagravens, Ajax scoffed at him despite knowing nothing would happen to him from his weapons. ''ng'' ''ng'' ''ng'' Before the leader of the Hagravens could realize what was happening, three powerful legend-grade weaponsnded on him; however, his mythical-grade armour blocked them all without any surprise. ''ng'' In the end, the arrow released by the longbow was also blocked by the armour. ''Even though all my weapons attacked the same ce, there was not a single scratch on it. It looks like the Mythical grade weapons and artifacts were truly scary.'' Ajax took his weapons back and decided to escape as he got the full rity that he didn''t have the ability to defeat the leader of the Hagravens. ''Moreover, my bloodline will be deactivated in two minutes. I need to escape as far as possible from here.'' Ajax was never ashamed to escape from the fight when he realised the other party was too powerful to defeat. Therefore, Ajax didn''t waste any time, as he directly teleported towards Siora and others before teleporting away from the Hagraven''s city along with Siora. Since the teleportation effect of the ''Lightning Cloud Steps'' only consumes the essence of nature, Ajax could use it unlimited times without any worry as he has an unlimited supply of the essence of nature. Even earlier, from the kills made by Snow and others, I received 10000 units of the essence of nature per kill along with 1000 units of spirit points and the beast points. ¡­.. "Where are you escaping? Do you think I will let you go just like that?" However, Ajax underestimated the flying speed of the leader of the Hagravens. Until now, Ajax had never seen such an insane flying speed because the leader of the Hagravens was able to cover nearly one kilometer in a couple of seconds. In short, whatever the time Ajax was taking, the leader of the Hagravens was able to catch up in a few seconds of time, making Ajax frown. ''At this rate, I am going to get captured and my bloodline will be deactivated within a minute. At that time, I will definitely get killed.'' For now, Ajax had the cultivation and strength to fight the leader of the Hagravens thanks to his bloodline; however, it''s been four minutes already and in another one minute, when his bloodline gets deactivated, only death awaits him. ''I think I don''t have any choice other than using one of those two trump cards I am currently holding.'' Soon, Ajax realized that escaping from the leader of the Hagravens was not an option for him. Therefore he decided to use another trump card that he didn''t want to use. ording to Ajax, trump cards are better to be not used unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if he doesn''t get to use the trump card and be more powerful when he no longer needs that trump card, Ajax didn''t mind wasting it like that; instead of using it when he really doesn''t have a need to use it. However, in his current situation, Ajax knew he no longer had any choice other than to use one of the trump cards he had been saving for emergencies. ''Which trump card should I use?'' Currently, Ajax has two trump cards other than his Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline. So, he quickly thought about which one he should use. ''Let''s just go with the Attack stone.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax left Siora''s side and directly teleported himself to the leader of the Hagravens. "I didn''t want to use this to kill you; however, you left with no other option." ''Attack stone, activate.'' With a furious look on his face, Ajax injected a small amount of essence of nature into the stone in his head. ''Roar'' Soon, a Jade Dragon materialized in front of Ajax and a dragon''s roar resounded in the entire surroundings. ''What? Jade Dragon Emperor?'' The leader of the Hagravens frowned when Ajax stopped escaping and felt a bad premonition in his head; however, when he saw a huge Jade Dragon Emperor materialize in the mid-air, he was scared and hurriedly tried to escape from the location. ''Jade Dragon Emperor''s Dragon st'' However, how could the leader of the Hagravens escape an attack from a peak emperor realm Jade Dragon''s most powerful attack? Before he could fly away a few meters, the Jade Dragon Emperor released a powerful beam from its mouth and turned the leaders of the Hagravens into nothing. ''What a powerful attack?'' It was Ajax''s first time witnessing such a powerful attack in his life. ''It looks like I need to trade more of these attack stones from the Jade Dragonling.'' Suddenly, Ajax''s eye shone with a bright light as he nned to buy more of these attack stones. Even if they were pricey, Ajax didn''t mind paying for them because it could save his life in critical moments. ''Phew¡­finally, the danger has passed. It''s time to move away from here.'' Even though they were already more than 500 hundred kilometers away from the Hagraven''s city, Ajax felt it was better to move as far as possible. ''A scouting party was already this powerful, I wonder how powerful the leaders of that city would be.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head as he took Siora and moved as far as possible. ***** Author''s Note: Tomorrow is the author''s birthday, there might be no chapter tomorrow. However, the author will try his best to release a chapter by the end of the day. I hope you don''t curse me for missing the update. Have a nice day and Happy reading. Chapter 1550 Conquering In The Floating Isalnd ?1550 Conquering in the Floating Isalnd Time continued to pass on the Floating Ind and one month passed by in a sh. "Master, we have sessfully conquered the three small tribes around our city." Snow and the remaining two re-cultivated spirit beasts replied to Ajax with an exciting smile on their faces. "How many of them surrendered?" Ajax was arranging some ingredients in his room as he asked his contracted spirit beasts. "Unlike the Primordial Orcs, no one from those three small tribes surrendered, master. Therefore, we don''t have any choice other than killing them." Raweth replied in a calm tone. Not only Raweth, but even Snow and Sparrow were also calm as though killing everyone from the three small tribes was nothing in their eyes. "Sir Ajax, they were not humanoid beings like us; instead, they were driven purely by their madness to kill everyone who was not from their race." There was a three-meter muscr orc with a battle axe on his axe beside the three re-cultivated spirit beasts. He exined why no one surrendered despite being massacred. "Continue conquering the small tribes. If they surrender, let them live and if they don''t, don''t hesitate to kill them." Ajax stopped being nice after experiencing how cruel the worlds are. If you don''t have enough strength, you don''t know when you will get killed. Therefore, it was necessary to be cruel in order to survive in this harsh world while constantly increasing your strength because there would always be someone more powerful than you in this universe. "Yes, Master." "Yes, Sir Ajax." The three re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts nodded at Ajax''s orders before leaving with the Primordial Orc to search for more small tribes that were close to the tribe that Ajax and his army settled in. After taking care of the Hagraven''s scouting team, Ajax and Siora moved as far as possible before finding a small tribe belonging to the Primordial Orcs. Even though they looked muscr and even had the cultivation of the mid-level emperor realm, they were instantly subdued by Ajax and Siora. Before Ajax could even ask them to be his followers, the leader of the Primordial Orc excitedly requested to be Ajax''s follower. In the Floating Ind, he needed to fight the powerful cultivators from the nearby tribes and got invaded by the powerful emperor realm spirit beasts who knew where they came from but the moment they invaded his tribe, there would be at least 50 percent casualties. Therefore, when he saw how powerful Ajax and Siora were, the Primordial Orc decided to be their followers and use their help to develop his tribe and make his tribe powerful. As for Ajax, he didn''t mind the Primordial Orc''s ns for his tribe because the system had added him to his followers'' list. ''Once a follower, follower for a life.'' This was the system''s reply when Ajax asked what the chances of a follower betraying him. Therefore, he let down his guard and started focusing on the things that he entered the Floating ind for. "Even though I have many ns before entering the Floating Ind, they were changed after I got chased by the Hagraven''s scouting party." Ajax muttered to himself and thought, ''To survive in this Floating Ind, I need to be powerful and have a powerful territory. For a start, the small tribe is not a bad option.'' Compared to one month before, Ajax felt he had a good base to put his ns into action. "Once Snow and others either kill or make all the intelligent races surrounder, I can release all my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to kill the mindless spirit beasts in the floating ind." Ajax''s first n was to secure as much territory as possible in the Floating Ind and create a somewhat safe environment for his army to train within that territory. Even though there were emperor realm mindless spirit beasts everywhere on the Floating Ind, Ajax was not worried much about them. However, what Ajax was afraid of were the intelligent races that coulde up with a surprise or sneak attacks while he or his army focused on training. Therefore, his first preference was to secure a territory and gather as many mid-level emperor realm cultivators as Primoril Orcs or if possible, even turn the high-level emperor realm cultivators into his followers. At that time, he would have a certain level of safety against the huge cities like Hagraven City that nearly got them killed if not for Ajax''s trump cards. ''I don''t know how many cities as powerful as Hagraven''s city are on this floating ind; however, I am sure there are more.'' Since Hagraven''s city could casually send the powerful cultivators with the cultivation of high-level and mid-level emperor realms for scouting, Ajax could tell they were more high-level emperor realm cultivators inside the city. Hence, to survive for the next seven years, Ajax felt he needed to have a strong force that could make any of these powerful cities think twice before making their move on him. "I think Siora is cultivating as the essence of nature in this floating ind was not bad." Even though the essence of nature on the floating ind was not as good as in the Greater worlds, it was a little better than the normal worlds. Moreover, they could stay on the floating ind for seven years. So, it was not a bad thing to cultivate in a single ce for seven years before leaving the floating ind. ''Her cultivation would progress by seven years; however, in reality, only seven days would pass.'' Ajax put his adventure in the floating ind or Mythical grade treasures on hold as he had a lot of time on his hands. ''As long as I secure a good footing in this Floating Ind, even if I don''t get any treasures now, I might get the treasures during my second or even third visit.'' He was not in a hurry to get the treasures and looking at the nearly arranged ingredients around him, Ajax muttered, ''I think I will start practising my alchemy.'' Bing a King grade alchemist was also one of his goals in entering the floating ind and during the past month, he had arranged 1000 sets of ingredients for the three alchemy recipes he bought in the trader''s realm. Therefore, he finally decided to start the practice while Snow and others increased his territory. ...¡­ [Essence Recovery Pill Recipe] Once he decided to focus on his alchemy, Ajax took the easiest king-grade pill recipe. As long as he refines the Essence Recovery Pills three times in a row, he would officially im himself as a King grade alchemist. Of course, those who became the King grade alchemists with the ''essence recovery pills'', would be considered the lowest grade King Alchemists. Moreover, their sess rate in refining the king-grade pills would be less than 10 percent even for the easiest pills like ''essence recovery pills'' As for the high-grade pills, it would be impossible for these low-level King-grade alchemists to refine. "For now, my goal is to be a King grade alchemist. As for whether it was a low or lowest level, I don''t care." The reason why Ajax wanted to focus on Alchemy again was to fulfil one of his requirements in breaking through to the Emperor''s realm. So, he didn''t care much about what level of Alchemist he would be for now. ''Once I be an Emperor realm cultivator, I can increase my sess rate by continuously refining the King realm pill recipes.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax looked at the batches of ingredients to refine the essence recovery pills. ''Ding, Pill Name: Essence Recovery Pill. Ingredients required: Harpy feather, Essence fruit and Baleful water. Since it was the lowest grade pill in the King ss pills, the materials required to refine it were also not rare. However, they were rtively high-pricedpared to the ingredients that Ajax bought in the past. ''Nevertheless, I only spent less than a couple of millions on 1000 sets of ingredients for each pill recipe.'' Since Ajax had more than one billion trader''s tokens and was still earning more trader''s tokens from selling the world cores, he didn''t hesitate to spend a couple of millions on buying the required ingredients. "The refining process for this king grade pill is also the same as the previous pills I refined; however, I have to find exactly how much essence of nature I have to inject and the heat control is different." Ajax muttered the process and tried to refine the rank 6 pills for practice. ''Ding, The host has sessfully refined a batch of rank 6 pills. ''Ding, The host has sessfully refined a batch of rank 6 pills. ''Ding, The host has failed in refining a batch of rank 6 pills. He refined a rank 6 pill three times. Two were sessful and one ended up in a failure. "It''s not bad." Ajax was satisfied with his sess rate and muttered, ''Since the practice ispleted, it''s time to refine the king-grade pill.'' Soon, he picked the first set of ingredients and started separating the essence from them before merging. ''The intermediate fire refinement technique is good because I can separate the essence from even the King grade ingredients without any failure.'' Because of his intermediate fire control refinement technique, Ajax easily separated and merged the essences from three ingredients. ''Boom'' Just when Ajax thought everything was going smoothly, the merged essence exploded and the refining process ended up as a failure. ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (1/ 1000000). Chapter 1551 Death Of A Contracted Spirit Beast ?1551 Death of a Contracted Spirit Beast ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (1/ 1000000). Ajax received a system notification that surprised him and thought, ''Is it a progress bar for me to be a king grade alchemist?'' Ajax raised his brows by looking at the one million experience points in front of him. It was not his first time seeing the progress bad when refining the pills because he had used the same method to increase his alchemist rank from rank 1 to 6. So, he knew how it works. ''Even if the pill refinement ends up in failure, I will get one experience point; however, it was nowhere near enough to be a King grade alchemist.'' He requires one million experience points and had to repeat the process 999999 times to be a King grade alchemist just from the pill failures. However, it would be a tedious process, and Ajax would easily get physically and mentally tired while refining the pills. He needs decades to be a King realm alchemist if he uses the pill failures, and Ajax didn''t want that. ''I wonder how many experience points I will get for a sessful pill refinement.'' Ajax stopped thinking about the pill failures as he returned to the pill refining while wondering about the experience points he could receive from a sessful refinement. ... In another corner of the Primordial Orcs'' tribe, ''Clink'' ''ng'' The young dwarf, Rurbeak, had already settled inside the Primordial Orcs'' tribe with his portable weapon refining workshop. After settling, he holed himself in his workshop with the ton of materials he brought from outside and started refining. Unlike Ajax, he was having quite fruitful days as he refined legend-grade weapons after another. ''Phew¡­finally, Ipleted my second sessful weapon refinement.'' Looking at the low-level legend-grade sword in front of him, Rurbeak fell to the ground as he heaved a sigh of relief. From thest month to till now, Rurbeakpleted three weapon refinements. Each took him nine days. Among the three weapon refinements, his first and third weapon refinements were sessful, whereas he failed in the second weapon refinement. Even though he was already capable of refining low-level legend-grade weapons, Rurbeak wants to increase his sess rate to the next level. ''I will start refining the mid-level legend grade weapon when I have at least a 90 percent sess rate.'' Even though Rurbeak was young, he had a clear goal and target as he wanted to increase his sess rate because whether it was an alchemist, weaponsmith, or formation master, everyone''s value will be determined by their sess rate. ''It''s break time.'' Whether it was a sessful refinement or a failed refinement, Rurbeak would take a mandatory break for one day where he would takeplete rest for half a day. As for the remaining half a day, he would think about his weapon refinement. If it was a failed refinement, he would try to find where he made a mistake; if it was a sessful refinement, he would think of a way to decrease the duration of the refinement. ''Snore~'' Rurbeak had a strict timetable for himself, and without wasting any time, he slept in a bed in his workshop and started snoring already. ... In one of the underground caves, Siora settled in an underground cave where she was getting the rich world essence required for her cultivation. Even though her cultivation was not fast, it was not slow either. However, if she cultivates on the floating ind for seven years without any external help, he would at least break through three minor realms. Moreover, if she was lucky, she might even break through five minor realms and be a level 8 Emperor realm cultivator. Of course, Siora was not nning to cultivate her entire time on the floating ind inside this underground cave. ''I will leave this cave after I be a level 4 emperor realm cultivator.'' She set a small target for herself before leaving the underground and exploring the floating ind since she didn''t want to miss the treasures stored in the floating ind. ... ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (2/ 1000000). ''Ding, The host has failed¡­ ''Ding, No matter how focused and careful Ajax was, his pill refining didn''t go as he expected. ''I will stop here for today. After ten consecutive pill refinement failures, Ajax decided to call it a day and started pondering about the mistakes he learned from the 10 failed pill refinements. ''Now, I know that I should not merge the separated essence from the three ingredients at a single time. Instead, I should first merge the Harpy feather''s essence and the baleful water''s essence.'' ''After that, I can merge with the essence of the essence fruit.'' Ajax continued muttering and noted all the things he learned during his ten failed pill refinements. ''Let''s continue.'' Unlike Rurbeak, Ajax didn''t take long breaks; instead, he only took one hour before resuming his pill refinements. The reasons for Ajax''s short breaks were because pill refinements consume less soul powerpared to weapon refinement. Moreover, Ajax''s soul was much stronger and more powerful than Rurbeak. Therefore, Ajax didn''t take long breaks and repeated his pill refinements. ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (11/ 1000000). Ajax was no longer surprised by the pill refinement failures; instead, he started taking note of all the mistakes he made during the process. After every 10 pill refinement attempts, he would definitely take a break and ponder about his mistakes and try to improve his refinement method. ¡­.. Time continued to pass, and one year passed by since Ajax and Siora entered the Floating Ind. ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (4555/ 1000000). ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. (4556/ 1000000). ''Ding, The host has sessfully refined 10 King grade pills and gained 1000 x 10 experience points. (14556/ 1000000). ''Finally¡­.I did it. I sessfully refined the King grade pills.'' Ajax was frustrated and was about to stop pill refining for a while before resuming; however, to his surprise, he was finally able to refine them. ''After 4556 pill refinement failures, I could do it.'' No matter how patient and determined Ajax was, after failing the pill refinements for almost a year, he wanted to take a break. Since it was a mandatory requirement for Ajax to have a King grade side profession like Alchemist, Weapon refiner or Formation master, Ajax couldn''t give up just because he was unable to refine the King grade pills. Nevertheless, he thought taking a break for a month or two before refining the pills again might increase his sess rate. However, who would have thought that he could finally refine his first batch of King-grade pills? ''So, it gives 1000 experience points per pill. Nice.'' Looking at the 10 ugly, uneven grey-coloured pills in his hands, Ajax silently thought in his head. Even though they were ugly and not shaped properly, Ajax didn''t care much about them; instead, he focused on the experience points that he received from his sessful pill refinement. ''Since I can refine 10 pills in a batch in my first attempt, I can safely say that I will get 10000 experience points per sessful refinement.'' Soon, Ajax started doing some calctions, and his previous excitement disappeared into thin air. He assumed that he would get only 10000 experience points for every sessful pill refinement, and even with that, he needed around 10000 sessful pill refinements to fill the progress barpletely to be a King grade alchemist. Moreover, since he was just a newbie that got lucky in refining his first batch of king-grade pills, his sess rate would be very low. So, he needed to refine at least 50000 times topletely fill the progress bar to be a King grade alchemist. ''I will take a break after figuring out my sess rate.'' Since he sessfully made his first batch of pills, Ajax wanted to strike the iron while it was still hot and wanted to figure out his sess rate. As for the pills he refined, Ajax didn''t risk his life by consuming them and threw them into his inner world to let inner world absorb them. Soon, he started refining the essence recovery pills and as he expected, his pill refinements ended up in a failure. asionally, his pill refinements were sessful; however,pared to the failed pill refinements, they were very low. ''Ding, The host has failed in his refinement and gained 1 experience point. ''Ding, The host has sessfully refined 10 King grade pills and gained 1000 x 10 experience points. After 100 pill refinements, Ajax was mentally exhausted as he rested his back and looked at the ceiling while thinking about his pill refinements. ''Even though the sess rate is much higher than I thought, the pills I refined remained the same. The number of the pills and the appearance of the pill¡­.there is no change in them.'' Ajax silently thought to himself while looking at the ceiling. Among the 100 pill refinements, Ajax was sessful in 15 pill refinements and failed in the remaining 85 pill refinements. Ajax was satisfied with the sess rate; however, the pills'' number and ugly appearance remained the same, making Ajax a little disappointed. ''Master, we need help.'' Suddenly, a call for help resounded in Ajax''s head; however, suddenly, he felt the connection with Snow disappear. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast has died. Chapter 1552 Wrath Of An Angel ?1552 Wrath of an Angel A few minutes back, Around thousand kilometers away from the Primordial Orc''s tribe that Ajax chose as his base. During the one year where Ajax, Siora, and Rurbeak were busy with Pill refining, cultivating, and weapon refining respectively, Snow, and the other two contracted re-cultivated spirit beasts didn''t rest much. Instead, they were conquering all the smaller tribes within a one thousand-kilometer radius around the Primordial Orc''s tribe. Today, after some hesitation, they increased their conquering range to 1100 kilometers and found a small tribe to conquer. Everything went well and the smaller tribe leader didn''t surrender and the three re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts didn''t have a choice other than killing him and the entire tribe. "You¡­.are excellent." Just as they cleared the smaller tribe, a loud voice resounded from above as they saw a young man with angelic wings on his back. ''Everyone, be alert. I sense he is a high-level emperor realm expert.'' Compared to Snow and Sparrow, Raweth has a keen sense of danger and he felt a bad premonition from the angel-winged young man. Hence he warned Snow, Raweth, and the primordial orc who was apanying them. "Actually, I wanted to kill you for destroying one of my smaller tribes." The young man revealed a slight smile as he continued while looking at Snow, "However, I took a liking to you." "As long as you agree to be my wife and the remaining two bird folk swear their loyalty to me, I consider letting you live." The young man''s eyes were glued to Snow as he stated his condition for letting them live. "What if we don''tply with your condition?" Raweth and others were loyal to Ajax and even bound through the contract. Even if there was no contract, Raweth and others didn''t have any ns to swear their loyalty to others. So, they shook their heads, clearly indicating that they were not going to do what the young man was asking them to do. "Haha¡­if you had agreed to my condition so easily, it would have been no fun." However, to their surprise, the young manughed out loud and said, "I know how to make you loyal to me¡­only to me." Suddenly, his happy face turned into a cold face and shouted, "Except for her, torture the others until they swear their loyalty to me." ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, a group of silver-winged humans appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards Raweth, Sparrow, and the Primordial Orc. "Fire God''s Wrath" "Netherworld''s mist" "Call of Lightning" How could Snow and others let the other party do as they wish? The moment they saw a dozen silver-wining young men and women with cultivation of mid-level emperor realms, they used their powerful skills. Since their cultivation was only in the low-level Emperor realm, they knew the only way to defend themselves was by using their most powerful skills. Raweth has turned into a huge sun crow that was covered in fiery mes and fought four mid-level emperor realm Silver Winged Angels. Sparrow released huge quantities ofher world''s most to decrease the battle prowess of her enemies and at the same time to hinder their sight. In the Purple mist, she was very purple and could even fight average high-level emperor realm cultivators, not to mention some mid-level emperor realm cultivators. On the other hand, Snow was surrounded by lightning sparks and thick thunderbolts. With a single wave of her hand, a huge lightning bolt would severely injure a mid-level emperor realm cultivator. Moreover, in her current form, not a single mid-level emperor realm cultivator was able toe close to her. ''They are all¡­.monsters.'' The primordial orc was already shocked at the speed at which the three re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts were conquering the smaller tribe and thought they were going all out before. However, after seeing the current scene in front of him, he finally realized that Snow and others were not using their full strength until now. ''What if they be high-level spirit beasts? Won''t they be the rulers of the floating ind with their over-powered battle prowess?'' He was shocked and thought about Ajax, ''If they were already so powerful, how powerful would that young man be?'' Even though the primordial orc could sense Ajax''s cultivation was only at high-level king realm, he was sure that his battle prowess would be scary just like his contracted spirit beasts. ''However, I have to survive the current situation.'' Nevertheless, the primordial orc knew they were currently in a bad situation. Even though he wanted to help Snow and others, they were already taking care of all the mid-level emperor realm cultivators. As for the high-level emperor realm cultivator, the primordial orc didn''t have the confidence in defeating him. Hence, he could only wait and watch. Time continued to pass and in less than five minutes, Snow and Raweth took care of all the mid-level emperor realm cultivators and rushed towards the golden-winged young man. ''Swoosh'' However, the young man easily dodged all their attacks and said, "You are much stronger than I thought. Now, I am very much interested in taking you as my concubine and the others as my servants." Just like the primordial orc, the golden-winged young man was also surprised at their full battle prowess and he was more determined to take them as his servants and as for now, she would be his concubine. "In your dreams." Raweth, Snow, and Sparrow, there said those words in unison and attacked their powerful attacks one after another. "Fire Annihtion" "Nether world''s poison mist." "Swoosh" "Do you think you can kill me with those attacks? I am taking you lightly and even then you can''tnd a single attack on me." However, the young man didn''t take them seriously and casually dodged their attacks. "We are also not attacking you seriously because this is the attack we want tond on you." "Lightning st" As soon as Snow finished her words, she appeared behind the Golden-winged young man and released a powerful lightning sphere that she condensed beforehand. ''What?'' The young man was shocked to see Snow who appeared behind him at a lightning speed. ''Boom'' He tried to dodge the iing lightning sphere; however, the distance between him and Snow was only a few meters and before he could dodge it, the lightning sphere hit him, creating a huge explosion. The golden-winged young man has sted away a few kilometers creating a path on the ground. If not for the trees and boulders, he would have sted away a few more kilometers without a doubt. "Did they get him?" The primordial orc became excited when they saw how the contracted spirit beasts worked in unison to st away the golden-winged young man and wondered whether they killed him or not. "Cough" However, in the next second, the young man flew into the air while coughing a mouthful of blood. "I DON''T NEED A WIFE LIKE YOU AND SERVANTS LIKE YOU ANYMORE." The young man was furious because it was his first time getting injured this much. He felt his entire body was in so much pain and lost control. "WRATH OF AN ANGEL" Soon, he condensed his body into a ball and released hundreds of golden feathers in all directions. "Everyone, behind me." Snow was the first to react and became a shield for Raweth and Sparrow and deflected dozens of iing golden feathers. However, there were hundreds of them and they traveled at lightning speed which pierced through her body. Chapter 1553 Ajax Arrives 1553 Ajax Arrives There were hundreds of Golden Feathers that were rushing in all directions. Snow thought there was no way to escape those iing Golden Feathers and decided to be the shield for Raweth and Sparrow while deflecting as many Golden Feathers as possible. She already knew it was impossible for her to deflect all the Golden Feathers; however, her true goal was to protect Raweth and Sparrow. ''Instead of everyone dying here, sacrificing her life to protect the other two contracted spirit beasts was better.'' It was what Snow had thought when she rushed to be their shield. "Escape from here and run to the master." These were thest words of Snow as her body which waspletely covered in blood fell to the ground. To her or any other contracted spirit beast under Ajax, their master coulde up with some n to kill their enemy. In case he didn''te up with any n, he would find a way to safely escape from the way along with his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Therefore, Snow believed that as long as Raweth and Sparrow escaped to their master, they would be safe. "Snow!!!" Raweth and Sparrow shouted out loud as they didn''t expect Snow to sacrifice herself. "Does she think I will let you guys escape that easily?" Before Raweth and Sparrow could do anything, the Golden-winged young man opened a small golden-coloured box out of thin air. ''Swoosh'' Two golden vines shot out of the box at lightning speed and wrapped around Raweth and Sparrow. ''Fire God''s Wrath ''Nether frost'' ''Huh? What''s happening?'' Soon, Raweth and Sparrow tried to use their powerful attacks; however, for some reason, they were unable to use their skills. They frowned when they were unable to use their skill despite the fact their body was still full of energy. "Haha¡­you can''t use your skills, right?" The Golden-winged young man chuckled when he saw the frowned expression on Raweth and Sparrow as he said, "That''s because of my Golden vines." "Even though I wanted her to be my concubine, she chose to die. So, there is nothing I can do about it." The Golden-winged young man continued, "However, I will give you onest chance. Are you going to swear your loyalty to me or are you going to follow her footsteps and die?" Even though the Golden-Winged young man was angry a few moments back for getting injured by Snow, after seeing her death, his anger disappeared a little. Also, when he thought about it, he decided to give another chance to the two re-cultivated spirit beasts because he liked their ability to fight those with high-level cultivation. ''You¡­'' Sparrow and Raweth were already furious that Snow had to sacrifice herself to protect them and now, they could not even take revenge on her behalf, or at least they were not able to escape from the Golden-winged young man. ''Master, we need your help. Snow sacrificed herself to protect us.'' ''We are in danger. Even if we die, please don''t let that b*stard alive.'' Raweth and Sparrow didn''t know what they had to do. So, they could only contact Ajax and request him to take revenge on their behalf. ''I am already on my way. Shall for a couple of minutes.'' On the other hand, Ajax had already received the system notification a minute back regarding Snow''s death. Hence, he was already rushing in the direction of Raweth and Sparrow while following their spirit connection with him. When he heard their words, Ajax asked them to stall for some time by any means possible. ''Abyssal Beast God Bloodline.'' At the same time, he activated his bloodline that could boost the strength of all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. He wanted to give some strength to Raweth and Sparrow to stall for some time and at the same time, the devour eagle kings that Ajax was using as his mounts also increased their speed. Not only the devour eagle kings but all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts that he brought with him to the floating ind were rushing behind Ajax at an incredible speed. "Whoever you are, I am going to make you regretying your hands on my beasts." Ajax had a furious look on his face which he rarely had as he started thinking of how to take care of the opponent if he was a peak high-level emperor realm cultivator. Even though he was furious, Ajax didn''t lose his ability to think as he devised a n if the enemy was so strong. ¡­.. "What? You don''t want to be my servants?" The Golden-winged young man stoppedughing as he asked Raweth and Sparrow in a cold tone. "No..no." Suddenly, Raweth responded by shaking his head and saying, "I am willing to be your servant." "Haha¡­I know you got brains." The Golden-winged young man was not surprised that Raweth agreed to be his servant because no matter how proud or arrogant you are, in front of absolute strength, you are bound to bow down. "What about you?" Next, he looked at Sparrow and asked. "I..I am willing to be your servant too." Sparrow sounded hesitant, making the Golden-winged young man feel that she was really willing to be his servant after some hesitation. "Haha¡­I know you are not like someone who will die when you have such a bright future ahead." The Golden-winged young man chuckled and felt proud that he got two powerful servants and said, "As long as you serve me well, I will make you powerful and take me to the Immortal realm along with me." "Thank you." Raweth and Sparrow were just stalling for time and they were not interested in anything that the Golden-winged young man was telling them. However, they still thanked him. "Looking at you now, you look as beautiful as her. I think you can be my 9th concubine." With a lecherous smile, the young man flew closer to Sparrow. ''Swiish'' However, before he could even touch Sparrow, a powerful white-coloured spear covered in lightning shes pierced through one of the wings of that young man. Chapter 1554 Revival? 1554 Revival? When Raweth and Sparrow asked for Ajax''s help through the voice transmission, he asked them to stall for a few minutes. At the same time, he also asked them to distract the Golden-winged young man and lower his guard. Therefore, Raweth and Sparrow decided to put an act on bing the Golden-winged young man''s servants. However, who would have thought that he was lustful and entirely put his guard down after flying towards Sparrow? "What do you say? Are you willing to be my ninth concubine?" "Y-yes." Since Ajax asked them to let the Golden-winged young man''s guard down, she nodded her head after some hesitation, which made the young manpletely put his guard down as he was so excited. Moreover, the two golden vines were wrapping around Raweth and Sparrow. So, he knew they could not do anything which made him put his guard down. ''Argh'' The young man groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. The Golden-winged young man was fully focused on Sparrow as he didn''t sense the iing Heaven''s destroyer spear. Because of that, the peak legend-grade spear pierced through one of his golden wings. For the Angel race members, their wings were delicate and didn''t have much defense. Even if it had some good defense, it was not impossible for Heaven''s destroyer to pierce through those wings. There were multiple reasons for that and they are: 1) Five times increase in his strength. 2) Grade 5 Spear Dao. 3) Special passive effect ''Ignore Defence'' of the Spear. 4) 20 percent additional damage from the title ''Weapons Master''. 5) Last but not least, it''s Ajax''s fury to kill the young man who killed Snow at any cost. Adding together all boosts, it was not hard for Ajax''s spear to pierce through the wings of the Golden-winged young man. "Everyone, don''t get him any opportunity to make his move." Even though Ajax wanted to kill the Golden-Winged young man very badly, he knew that was not important now. ''The most important thing now is to save Snow.'' Therefore, he ordered all the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits that followed him here to take care of the Golden-winged young man. Since one of the Golden-winged young man''s wings got pierced, Ajax knew his battle prowess would be decreased a lot. "Yes, Master." Hearing Ajax''s orders, all the summons hurriedly nodded their heads before rushing toward the Golden-winged young man on the ground and started using their attacks. They didn''t give him any opportunity as theynded one powerful attack after another, creating more and more injuries on his body. ''Snow!!'' Ajax, on the other hand, rushed towards Snow''s bloodied body on the ground. ''What should I do? What should I do?'' It was Ajax''s first time that one of his contracted spirit beasts died. Moreover, Snow was his first contracted spirit beast that he met in the Inheritance grounds. Ajax''s mind fell into chaos as he didn''t know what he had to do to revive Snow. ''Even my demonic soul ''Orb of Death'' is useless'' to revive someone like Snow. I should have focused more on this demonic soul.'' Suddenly, Ajax felt regretful for not focusing on upgrading the ''Orb of Death'' because if it was a high level, he might have revived king and emperor realm cultivators. However, what Ajax forgot was that it was not an easy thing to upgrade a level 1 king realm demonic soul to an emperor realm demonic soul. ''I should have never increased the strength of my contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits so soon.'' At the same time, Ajax med himself for another reason and it was for increasing the cultivation of his contracted spirit beasts. If Ajax didn''t increase their strength, he would have not sent them out to conquer the small tribes on the Floating Ind on their own. If they were not on their own, Snow would have not died. ''Even if I increased their cultivation, I should have at least waited until they learned how to separate their souls from their bodies. If they encounter any dangerous situation where they could not escape with their physical bodies, they would leave their physical bodies to escape from that situation.'' The thing is, even though Emperor realm cultivators could leave their bodies in the soul form to escape from the dangerous situation, Snow was unable to do it. It was not because he only became an Emperor realm cultivator recently; instead, it was because she and the other re-cultivated spirit beasts increased their cultivation to the Emperor realm in a short time. Even though they have excellent battle prowess, they didn''t know how to separate their souls from their physical bodies. Ajax clenched his fists as he started to understand a few things that he didn''t understand before, ''It is not about bing stronger overnight or maintaining a solid foundation. It is all about understanding more about the cultivation realms.'' If Snow was able to escape in her soul form, Ajax would have nurtured her soul and helped her in creating a new body with the help of the Soul Nurturing Tree. However, there was nothing he could do now other than ming himself and regretting for life. Finally, Ajax understood why everyone says that while cultivating, you should take it slow and should not hurry it. ''If only I¡­'' As his summons were venting their anger on the Golden-winged young man, Ajax was regretting and ming himself for Snow''s death. ''Heal'' Ajax was unable to ept that Snow was gone and could not bear to see Snow''s body that was fully covered with injuries. Therefore, he decided to at least heal her body. ''Ding, The host used 10 units of Sacred Astral Energy to heal a soulless body. ''Ding, The system detected the traces of her soul in the white gown Snow was wearing. The host can revive his contracted spirit beast. Suddenly, two system notifications rang in Ajax''s head, which made him hopeful again. ''What?'' Ajax hurriedly asked the system, ''How? What should I do to revive her?'' Chapter 1555 Divine Rule? 1555 Divine Rule? The white gown on Snow''s body was not a normal item; instead, it was an artifact that Snow received after its sessful re-cultivation. Finally, when Ajax saw the system notification, he felt hopeful again as he hurriedly asked the system what he had to do in order to revive Snow. ''Ding, For now, ce the contracted spirit beast''s body under the Soul Nourishment Tree. Even though the tree didn''t unlock any effect, it would preserve the traces of the souls inside the white gown from disappearing. ''Okay.'' Ajax didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly sent Snow to the inner world and ced her under the Soul Nourishment Tree. ''Ding, The host has the following options to revive his contracted spirit beast: 1) Upgrade the demonic soul ''Orb of death'' into an Emperor soul. 2) Nurture the Soul Nourishment Tree to 100-year-old trees to awaken its first ability. 3) Find Mythical grade healing treasures on the Floating Ind. Note: Even with the help of the current Soul Nourishment Tree, the remnants of the contracted spirit''s soul would disappear within three months. ''Ding, A new emergency mission is generated. ''Ding, Mission Name: Life and Death of the First Contracted Spirit Beast. Objective: Revive the contracted spirit beast within three months (Purple Stone World''s time). Mission Reward: Divine Rule. Note: Sooner the hostpletes, the higher the level of the Divine Rule. As Ajax was trying his best to calm himself down and think of a solution to revive Snow, he received two more system notifications regarding a new mission. ''So, I have three months of time.'' Ajax''s anxiousness decreased a little when he saw the mission objective because ording to the mission, the remnant traces of Snow''s soul will only disappear after three months. What''s more, these three months were not on the Floating Ind; instead, it was ording to the Purple Stone World. Since Snow''s body was inside the Inner World, where the time flow was the same as that of the Purple Stone World, it won''t affect the remnant traces of Snow''s Soul. This means he could search for the Mythical grade healing treasures in the Floating Ind for the remaining six years. ''Even if I don''t find any suitable mythical grade healing treasures, I will still have more than 80 days to either upgrade my Cultivator''s soul ''Orb of Death'' or to find enough nt essence to nurture the Soul Nourishment Tree to 100 years old.'' Among the three options that the system showed him, Ajax directly rejected the thought of upgrading the ''Orb of Death'' while he was inside the Floating Ind because six years was not enough to upgrade a level 1 King soul to an Emperor soul by normal methods. So, he decided to use the Jade Pool to upgrade his cultivator''s soul which was the fastest method he could think of. ''Even if I have to give away the Greater World Core, I will stay in the Jade Pool until my ''Orb of Death'' bes an emperor realm soul.'' For him,pared to a Greater World Core, reviving Snow was important. Even if it has to give away dozens or even hundreds, Ajax would not hesitate in the slightest. ''Even though there are six years for me to find the Floating Ind, I can''t keep my hopes on something on the chance.'' Finding a mythical grade healing treasure or upgrading his ''Orb of the Death'' to Emperor''s soul, Ajax was very confident inpleting thetter one. Nevertheless, he was going to give his all to find the treasures on the Floating Ind. Also, among the three options, Ajax felt the least possible option was upgrading the Soul Nourishment Tree because it was very hard to find the nt Essence. ''What is a Divine Rule?'' Aftering out of his thoughts, Ajax suddenly thought of the reward from the mission. However, the system didn''t give any information or reply to him, making him shake his head. ''From the looks of it, it must be something powerful. I wonder what it is.'' Ajax didn''t feel the excitement or curiosity he used to feel regarding something new anymore. So, when the system didn''t reply to him, he no longer bothered about it and decided to wait until he got the reward. "Pl¡­ease¡­.let¡­.me¡­live." Soon, he came out of his thoughts when he heard a begging voice from the distance. "This b*stard is still alive?" Ajax raised his brows as the anger that subsided a little red once again as he walked towards the Golden-winged young man that was beaten to the pulp by his summons. "Master, this b*stard is like tenacious. No matter how much he beat him, he is not dying." Since the Golden-winged young man was a high-level emperor realm cultivator, Ajax knew it would be hard for his summons to kill him. Nevertheless, it won''t be long before he would due to excessive blood loss. "Stop." However, Ajax didn''t want the Golden-Winged young man to die from the blood loss; instead, he had already thought of something even better than that. Therefore, he asked his summons to stop beating the Golden-winged young man. "Th¡­ank¡­.yo..u." The Golden-winged young man was able to breathe some air when the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts stopped beating him and thanked Ajax. ''Before I do that to him, I need to find some information from him.'' No matter how angry Ajax was at the Golden-winged young man, he had not lost his mind and decided to learn a few things from the Golden-Winged young man. So, he sat in front of a Golden-winged young man that was lying on the ground and asked, "Why don''t you tell me about yourself? Like where did youe from and do you have a territory in the Floating Ind?" ... Thousands of kilometers away from Ajax''s location, inside a huge golden city. ''Kacha'' ''Father, I am about to die. Please save me.'' A middle-aged man who was enjoying himself with a group of women suddenly noticed one of the beads around his neck break, followed by a scared voice. "Who dares to touch my son." Chapter ?1556 Golden City ?1556 Golden City "In this floating ind, there are five regions depending on the elemental essence. They are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Metal. Currently, we are in the Metal Region in which there are two cities, ''Hagraven City'' and ''Golden City''....." After silently sending a signal to his father, the Golden Winged young man exined about the Floating Ind before saying about himself. Even though he barely had any energy to speak, the Golden Winged young man gritted his teeth and tried to stall as much time as possible while exining the things in the Floating. ''Just you wait. Once my father arrives, I will return the pain hundred¡­no¡­thousand folds.'' The only thing that kept the Golden Winged young man enduring his current pain was the hope that his father would arrive and when he came, he was nning to kill Ajax and everyone around him. "So, you are the son of the Golden City''s leader." Even though Ajax was young, the Golden-winged young man''s acting was so terrible that Ajax easily figured out what he was stalling for time. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with the information he got from the golden-winged young man. "Yes. As long as you let me go, I will make you a guest elder of the city. Once you have that status, you will get ess to the information rting to the treasures." Of course, the Golden-winged young man was just spewing whatever came to his mind in order to make Ajax let him live. ''No matter how angry you are, humans are known for their greed. So, I think he will fall for that trap.'' ording to the golden-winged young man, a human would definitely forget the death of his contracted spirit beast for the position of the guest elder of his father''s golden city. In the entire Metal region of the Floating Ind, there were only two behemoths. One is Hargaven City and the second one is Golden City which was established by the young man''s ancestor. It was currently managed by his father and once his father ascended to the Immortal realm which was around the corner, the golden-winged young man would inherit the city. "Even though I have older siblings, my father loves me so much that he had already dered me as his sessor to the city. So, there is no way you can live in peace after killing me." Seeing that Ajax was still not replying to his offer, the golden-winged young man frowned and felt anxious. Hence, the golden-winged young man informed that he would be taking over his father''s Golden City soon. ''What''s wrong with this b*stard? Why is he not showing any emotion?'' The golden-winged young man gritted his teeth when he saw Ajax remain cold and nonchnt to his offer. "I don''t know whether I can live in peace or not after killing you; however, I am sure about one thing: If I can''t kill you today, I will definitely not live in peace." After saying those words, Ajax stood up from the ground and decided to execute the punishment he nned for the golden-winged young man. "I-if you kill me, no matter where you hide, you will be hunted by my father¡­not only you, but your wife and everyone around." Seeing the evil look on Ajax''s face, the golden-winged young man became anxious and tried to intimidate him onest time. Since Ajax was not tempted by the rewards, the golden-winged young man could only use the intimidation. However, what the golden-winged young man didn''t know was that nothing would work on Ajax after killing his first contracted spirit beast. "Draconic Spirit Turtle King,e out." ''Thud'' With a loud sound, a huge Turtle appeared beside Ajax and eyed the golden-winged young man with an evil look. Even though the turtle king rarely interacted with Snow or any other contracted spirit beasts or the elemental spirits, he was angry after learning that one of his fellows contracted spirit beasts had died. So, he wanted to vent his anger too just like the others. "Throw him into the turtle king''s furnace." Ajax ordered someone to throw the Golden-winged young man into the turtle king''s furnace before ordering the turtle king, "I don''t know what you will do, refine that corpse as slow as possible and absorb every single unit of the essence of nature in his body." "Yes, master." The turtle king was excited and hurriedly nodded his head. ''By doing this, not only I can get my revenge against the golden-winged young man but the turtle king''s cultivation will increase and at the same time, I will get some random essence orb.'' Ajax sent all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts back into the inner world. ''He might have already sent some kind of signal to his father. I think it is best for me to escape from here.'' Ajax knew he was barely able to take down the golden-winged young man. If not for the surprise attack on his wings, Ajax would have had a lot of trouble dealing with him. As for his father, who was the city leader of the Golden City, Ajax could easily tell it was a powerful cultivator and decided to avoid him as he didn''t want any more deaths today. With that thought in mind, Ajax silently left that ce and swore, ''Once I gain enough strength, I will pay a visit to the Golden City and make the golden-winged young man cry even in his grave for killing my contracted spirit beast.'' ..... ''Swoosh'' Ten minutes after Ajax left, a middle-aged man with four golden wings appeared in that ce. "Damn it¡­why can''t sense him anymore? Where did he go? Who dares toy his hand on my son?" The middle-aged man was so furious that someone dared to harm his son. "City leader, this is thest ce that the young master''s aura disappeared. We can''t sense his aura anymore." Soon, a group of silver-winged humans flew down from all directions and informed the middle-aged man. "I don''t know what you will do, even if you have to turn the entire Floating Ind, find my son. If he is dead, find his body along with the killer." The middle-aged man clenched his fists in anger as he gave out orders to his followers. "Yes, City leader." Soon, the silver-winged humans flew into the air and started searching. Chapter 1557 Change Of Plans ?1557 Change of ns After one year inside the Floating Ind, Inside a deeply hidden small cave, ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the 10 king-grade pills and gaining 10000 experience points towards the King-grade Alchemy. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the 10 king-grade pills ''Ding, The host failed¡­. ''Ding, Ajax didn''t bother about the system notifications as he refined one batch after another King-grade essence recovery pills. Even though the pills were still uneven and looked inedible just like one year back, his sess rate regarding the refinement of the Essence recovery pills had greatly increased. Previously, his sess rate was only one percent; however, with his determination over thest year, it increased from one percent to 25 percent. ''Even though 25 percent was still very low,pared to one year back, it was a great improvement.'' Ajax clenched his fists and muttered, ''Because of those silver-winged b*stards, I can''t even go out to search for the treasures in the Floating Ind. Other than pill refining, there is nothing I can do about it.'' Originally, Ajax thought to learn more about the Golden City that the Golden-winged young man''s father owns; however, he encountered a group of silver-winged warriors along the way. Each of those silver-winged warriors had the strength of the high-level emperor realm warriors. With a nce, he could tell they were rted to the golden-winged young man and before he could do anything, those silver-winged warriors started enquiring about him. Clearly, they felt Ajax was suspicious as he was not an old resident of the Floating Ind. ''I still don''t know how they could differentiate between an old timer and a neer with a single nce.'' They wanted to bring Ajax back to their Golden City to interrogate him about his background and other things. Of course, Ajax knew it was not a good thing to enter the enemy''s territory as they could find out all his secrets including the fact that he killed their young master. So, he didn''t have any chance other than fighting them with his full strength without hiding his strength. At that time, Ajax had to work together with Siora, Raweth and Sparrow to be barely able to kill them. ''I think I just have to give up on finding the healing-type treasures in the Floating Ind.'' After killing those group of silver-winged warriors, Ajax and others found some hidden caves and settled and Ajax gave up on his conquering mission on the Floating Ind. ''For now, I just have to survive and wait for an opportunity. Even if I miss an opportunity this time, I can alwayse back to destroy that Golden City.'' Ajax didn''t want to lose any other contracted spirit beast or the elemental spirit while fighting against the Golden-winged young man''s father and his minions. Even though one year has passed on the floating ind, only one day has passed in the real world. In total, it''s been only two days since Ajax entered the floating ind. ''Before I leave the Floating Ind, I only have one goal and it was to be a King realm Alchemist.'' Before the incident with the Golden-winged young man, Ajax had various goals like conquering a portion of the Floating Ind, bing a king-grade alchemist, and making his contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirit as powerful as possible while finding some mythical grade treasures. However, after the incident, Ajax only had one goal and it was to be the King grade alchemist so that, once he leaves the floating ind, he could collect enough world cores to upgrade his cultivation to the emperor realm. ''Once I be an Emperor realm cultivator, I am confident in killing the mid-level Emperor cultivators on my own without using any bloodline or other trump cards.'' Ajax was looking forward to the day he became an emperor realm cultivator and continued thinking about the things he could do, ''As for the high-level emperor realm cultivators, I can kill them even if I use my weakest bloodline.'' ''By that time, Siora will also be a level 7 or 8 emperor realm cultivator and with her unique battle prowess, she could also kill the high-level emperor realm cultivators. If we fought together, taking down the Golden-winged young man''s father was not a difficult thing.'' Ajax''s bond with Siora had progressed a lot during thest one year in the floating ind. Even though there was yet to progress a lot before they could share their bed, Ajax knew Siora would not hesitate to help him in taking down the Golden City. ''Anyway, it is time to resume my pill refinement.'' Soon, Ajax went back to his pill refining process as his experience points were increasing a lot during these days. For every four pill refinements, there would be one sessful refinement and with each sessful refinement, he would get 10000 experience points. In a single day, Ajax would only refine 20 times. Even though he could do nearly 100 pill refinements, Ajax felt doing 20 pill refinements in a day was improving his sess rate by a good margin. Therefore, he settled with 20 pill refinements. ¡­.. Not only Ajax, but the incident also changed all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. Even though Ajax didn''t allow them to go out to conquer thend or fight the spirit beasts inside the floating ind, he allowed them to cultivate. Since the main benefit of entering the floating ind was the time, Ajax didn''t want his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to miss it. Therefore, he strictly ordered them to find hidden caves close to him and quietly cultivate in them. Whether it was their cultivation orws, Ajax didn''t care as it left it up to them. Among all his summons, Raweth and Sparrow were more serious as they circted their main cultivation technique to be the mid-level emperor realm spirit beasts. Siora focused on her cultivation just like before as she devoured the world energy on the floating ind. Time continued to pass and another two years passed by in a sh, ''Swiish'' Suddenly, one of the hidden caves that were close to Ajax''s hideout glowed for a second, followed by Rurbeak''sughter, "Finally, I can refine the high-level legend grade weapons with a 50 percent sess rate. What''s more, I even refined a special high-level legend grade weapon." Chapter ?1558 Soulslasher ?1558 Soulsher ''Swoosh'' Ajax had already finished the daily quota of his pill refinements. So, when he heard Rurbeak''s loudughter, he hurriedly flew over to Rurbeak''s workshop. "Rurbeak, congrattions on bing a professional legend-grade weaponsmith." Looking at the sword in Rurbeak''s hand, Ajax congratted the dwarf with a slight smile. "Master Ajax, thank you." Rurbeak was excited as he finally achieved his dream of bing a legendary weaponsmith with a sess rate of at least 50 percent. "Also, this is a special high-grade sword I have refined for you, Master." Suppressing his excitement, Rurbeak offered the sword to Ajax. As a dwarf, Rurbeak was not interested in using the weapons he created. Instead, he would be happy to see the weapons he created to excel in the hands of his Master. "Thank you." Ajax didn''t hesitate to take the weapon because all the weapons created by Rurbeak were either to be sold to others or given to his subordinates depending on the attributes of the weapons. Since it was a special high-level legend-grade sword, Ajax didn''t mind using it if he could find some useful effects attached to it. The sword has a distinctive and striking appearance. Its de is crafted from high-quality steel, disying a brilliant polished finish. The de features an elegant, slightly curved design, tapering to a sharp point. The hilt is wrapped in fine leather or perhaps a more exotic material like dragonhide, providing afortable and secure grip for the wielder. In short, the newly refined sword was a little better than his old sword, the Inheritance Sword. ''Anyway, let''s see the effects of this weapon.'' With a thought, the information about the weapon appeared in front of Ajax. ''Ding, Weapon Name: Soulsher. Weapon Grade: High-level Legend Grade. Effect: With a single strike, the host can sh through the souls of his enemies that are more powerful than the emperor realm. Note: 1) Of course, it could only injure those above the emperor realm and at the same time, the host''s soul power will be consumed by a huge amount. 2) With the current sea of consciousness and soul power, the host can release three strikes that could injure the demi-god realm cultivators. There was only one effect; however, Ajax knew it would be extremely useful to him. Not only could Ajax kill the high-level emperor realm cultivators but he could also injure those above the emperor realm cultivators. That''s right! The realm above the Emperor realm was the demi-god which was only one realm away from entering into the God Realm. ''Let''s not think about the demi-god realm or god realm; instead, I should focus on my current missions.'' Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the realm above the Emperor realm. ''With this sword, my chances of taking down the Golden City will increase.'' Even though Ajax thought about it, he still didn''t have any ns to attack the Golden City. ''The day I be an Emperor realm cultivator is the day I take down that Golden City and take control of the entire Metal region on the Floating Ind.'' ording to the information that Ajax has collected from the Gold-winged young man before killing him, the floating ind has a total of five regions and the young man''s father is the ruler of the Metal region of the floating ind. "Rurbeak, this weapon is quite good." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajaxmented about the sword and continued, "So, when are you going to start your preparations to break through to the Mythical Grade Weaponsmith?" Since Rurbeak was able to refine a special high-level legend-grade weapon, he was not far from bing a Mythical Grade weaponsmith. As long as he uses Mythical Grade metals and with enough practice, Rurbeak could be a Mythical Grade Weaponsmith. "Master, I want to increase my sess rate from 50 percent to at least 80 percent before focusing on refining a Mythical Grade weapon." However, Rurbeak shook his head and shared his future ns. "We still have four years left on this floating ind. By the time we leave the floating ind, I hope you can achieve that goal." One day in the real world was equivalent to one year inside a floating ind. The floating ind was a good ce for time-taking professions like Weaponsmithy and Alchemy which required lots of practice. Hence, Ajax asked Rurbeak to continue his practice of refining special high-level legend-grade weapons. The higher his sess rate in refining the special high-level legend-grade weapons, the easier it would be for Rurbeak to refine the Mythical Grade Weapons. "I will definitely achieve that and even try to refine a Mythical Grade weapon before we leave the floating ind." For Rurbeak, who could not fight, the only way for him to help Ajax was by refining weapons. The higher their grade, the more useful it would be for Ajax. "Take these Legend Grade metals and use them for practice. Once I be an Emperor realm cultivator, I will find some Mythcial Grade items for you." After givingrge quantities of metals to Rurbeak, Ajax left Rurbeak''s workshop and paid a visit to his fiancee Siora. During her one-year seclusion, her cultivation increased by a single minor realm which was quite an achievement. ''Once I break through to Emperor Realm, I can also help her be a peak emperor realm cultivator in no time.'' Ajax could increase her cultivation with the World Essence extracted from the world cores. Of course, he promised Siora about that as he wanted Siora to put all her efforts into increasing her cultivation such that Ajax could push her cultivation even further with his world essence. After visiting Siora, Leo checked on his two re-cultivated beasts, Raweth and Sparrow who had already be the Emperor''s realm beasts and consolidated their cultivation in that realm. ''Everyone around me is bing the Emperor''s realm cultivator. I should also be one soon.'' That was the only way for Ajax to take his revenge on the Golden City and at the same time, he could find some Mythcial Grade healing items for Snow. ***** Author''s Note: Depending on the response from the readers, I will increase the release rate from 1 chapter/day to three chapters/day. Chapter ?1559 Alchemy King ?1559 Alchemy King Time continued to pass and in a sh two years passed by on the floating ind. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the 10 king-grade pills and gaining 100000 experience points towards the King-grade Alchemy. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a King Grade Alchemist with a 70 percent sess rate in refining the normal King-Grade Pills. Note: 100 percent sess rate for the [Essence Recovery Pills]. After a series of system notifications, Ajax finally received the system notification he was waiting for. ''Phew¡­finally, I became an official King Grade Alchemist.'' The goal that Ajax had set before entering the Floating Ind was sessfullypleted; however, he was still far from meeting his requirement to break through to the Emperor Realm. However, since he is an official King Grade Alchemist, Ajax knew that bing a peak emperor realm cultivator won''t be an issue. ''I think I should take a break for the day and start refining a new type of pill.'' Until now, Ajax was focusing on a single pill recipe, the [Essence Recovery Pills] and since he had sessfully aplished his goal of bing a King Grade Alchemist, he decided to practice his pill refinements with the other pill recipes that he had bought. Of course, he was already tired from refining all day and decided to start tomorrow. ''ording to the system, to be a peak-level King Grade Alchemist, I need to have a sess rate of 100 percent in refining at least three King-Grade pills.'' Ajax stood up and stretched his body a little and thought to take a walk. ''Ding, The host''s title [Alchemy Maniac] has been upgraded to [Alchemy King] ''Ding, Title Name: Alchemy King. Effects: 1) Alchemy Genius: The end products of the pill refinement will be tripled. 2) King''s Blessing: There is a small chance of the appearance of a pill with surprising additional effects for a pill in a batch of pills. 3) Mad Alchemist: When refining a particr pill more than a hundred times, the sess rate of that particr pill increases by a certain percent depending on the number of pill refinements done by the host without taking any breaks. Just as Ajax was nning to move out of his cave, he received a couple of system notifications about his title. ''Holy¡­.thest effect of the title is really helpful for me in bing the peak-level King Grade alchemist.'' After reading the changes in his title, Ajax became excited at a particr effect of the title. ''With this effect, I only need less than a year before fulfilling the requirements to break through to the King realm.'' Ajax clenched his fists with great excitement and he hurriedly wanted to go back to his pill refinements; however, he knew that it was not good to resume it. ''Ding, Upgrade requirements to breakthrough into the Emperor realm: 1) At least three peak king realm cultivator''s souls. 2) At least one side profession to be at peak king grade. 3) A world core, the higher the grade of the world core, the better it is for the host. Looking at the upgrade requirements, Ajax muttered, ''I don''t have any Greater World Cores with me So if I want to be an Emperor realm cultivator on the Floating Ind, I have to use a normal Core.'' Ajax used a Greater World Core to be a High-level King realm cultivator and currently, he only has a single Normal World Core and 11 smaller world cores. Even if Ajax could fulfil the first two requirements on the floating ind, he should use a normal world core, which Ajax didn''t want to use because the battle prowess gained from using a Normal World Core and a Greater World Core was iparable. ''The other option I have is to postpone my revenge on the Golden City for my second visit to the Floating Ind.'' Currently, Ajax entered the Floating Ind through the Metal Elemental Emperor''s ticket and he still has four more tickets belonging to the other four elemental emperors. However, if he wants to enter the Floating Ind again, he needs to wait for three weeks since the Floating Ind would open only once every month. ''By choosing that option, it won''t affect my revenge and at the same time, I can also revive Snow by searching for the required items in the Heavenly Trading Realm.'' Of course, it was all Ajax''s thinking; however, after thinking for a while, he felt choosing to postpone his revenge on the Golden City was the best thing. Ajax was confident that he would be an Emperor realm cultivator by the time he entered the Floating Ind for the second time. ''At that time, not only the Metal Region but I will conquer the entire Floating Ind and make it my own.'' In a world where strength matters, Ajax didn''t feel anything wrong about taking over the Floating Ind with his strength. While taking a stroll, Ajax silently thought about the changes in his ns. Before entering the Floating Ind, Ajax had different ns, but after entering, he slightly tweaked them; however, after the death of Snow, they werepletely changed. Other than pill refining, Ajax wanted to let all his elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts and battle beasts have life-and-death battles on floating ind with the native spirit beasts of the floating ind. However, thanks to the Golden-Winged young man''s father, who sent thousands of peak emperor realm cultivators to find the killer of his son, Ajax was hiding inside a cave. As for his battle beasts, they were hiding inside Prophis''s [Space World], whereas Prophis and other elemental spirits along with the contracted spirit beasts were hiding inside Ajax''s Inner World. However, there was an exception for Raweth and Sparrow who begged Ajax to stay outside the inner world to cultivate alongside him and Ajax naturally allowed it. "Damn it¡­why is Lord Vogl taking his anger out on us." As Ajax was taking a stroll, he heard a frustrated voice, followed by two winged peoplending on a nearby tree to rest. ''Stopining and check those hidden caves properly. If we can find that human who killed our young lord, we will be bestowed with Mythcial Grade items." The other winged man asked the first winged man to check the hidden caves that Ajax and others were staying in. ''Should I take action this time?'' Looking at them, Ajax silently thought in his head. Chapter 1560 Bloodline Awakening Pills 1560 Bloodline Awakening Pills ''Should I take action this time?'' In no time, Ajax rejected the thought of taking action against the two silver-winged men. With Ajax''s current strength, it won''t be a problem to take care of those two silver-winged men whose strength was at the mid-level emperor realm. However, he chose not to do anything because the moment he killed them, their perfect hideout would be useless as the location would be swarmed with thousands of silver-winged men with cultivation as high as a high-level emperor realm. "I have already checked those caves more than a dozen times. There is nothing inside those caves." One of the silver-winged menzily replied, only to get a p from the other silver-winged man. "Fine¡­I will go and check." There was nothing for the silver-winged man to do other than follow the orders as he flew towards the caves that Raweth and others were cultivating. ''Everyone, alert. The silver birds are here.'' Hiding in his ce, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to others and informed them about the silver-winged men. It was not the first time the silver-winged men came to inspect their caves as Ajax and others had already gotten used to escaping the eyes of the silver-winged men. ''Got it.'' Soon, Ajax got a reply from the other side they soon entered into a secret tunnel that Ajax created to temporarily hide whenever there was an inspection from the silver-winged men. The silver-winged man had already believed that there was no one in those hidden caves. Hence, he only checked them on the surface before returning to his boss. "Boss, as I already said, there is no one in those hidden caves." "Let''s wrap today''s search here and go to the Golden City. Your dinner is on me." "Really? I am going to eat to death today." The silver-winged man who went to check the hidden caves became excited when he heard that his boss was treating him to dinner. The boss was silent and looked at the ce where Ajax was hiding for a moment before saying, "Let''s go." ''Swoosh'' Soon, they flew away without staying there for much longer. ''I still have two more years left on the floating ind, let''s use that time and reach peak King-Grade alchemist.'' Ajax was frustrated at the fact that he could not kill those whom he could kill with ease. He didn''t like that feeling; however, since he didn''t have much of an option, he decided to get rid of that feeling as soon as possible. ... ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a Mid-level King Grade Alchemist with a 75 percent sess rate in refining the normal King-Grade Pills. Note: 100 percent sess rate for the [Strength Multiplier Pills] is achieved. After that day, Ajax resumed his refining with a new pill recipe called [Strength Multiplier Pills]. It took around six months for Ajax to sessfully reach the sess rate of 100 percent for that pill recipe. ''Just to raise the sess rate from 70 percent to 100 percent, it took me around six months. I am very slow.'' If other alchemists heard his words, they would rush to beat the sh*t out of Ajax because, for them, it would take years or even decades to reach the 100 percent sess rate for a particr pill recipe. And now, Ajax was able to achieve that feat in just six months and he still dared to call it slow. Actually, the thing is, with the help of his new title [Alchemy King], all the normal-type king pill recipes that Ajax refine have a sess rate of 70 percent and by refining a particr pill recipe 100 times, he could trigger the [Mad Alchemist] effect. With that effect, he could permanently increase the sess rate after refining a particr pill for 100 times in a row without any breaks. ''Anyway, with the increase in my Alchemist Grade, I can be a high-level king-grade alchemist in less than six months.'' After taking a break for the day, Ajax started refining the next pill recipe [Bloodline Awakening Pill]. In a single day, Ajax was able toplete 500-600 pill refinements for the [Bloodline Awakening Pills]. Thanks to the [Mad Alchemist]''s effect, his sess rate in that particr pill recipe was increasing rapidly. Soon, another four months passed by as Ajax finally received the system notification that he was waiting for. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a High-level King Grade Alchemist with an 80 percent sess rate in refining the normal King-Grade Pills. Note: 100 percent sess rate for the [Bloodline Awakening Pills] is achieved. ''Phew¡­finally, I havepleted all the requirements to be an Emperor realm cultivator. All I need now is a Greater World Core and then, I can do anything I want and can go anywhere I want.'' When Ajax was just a low-level king realm cultivator, he could kill low-level emperor realm cultivators. When he was a mid-level king realm cultivator, he killed mid-level emperor realm cultivators. Now, with his current strength, Ajax could easily kill the high-level emperor realm cultivators. Hence, when he sessfully breakthroughs to the Emperor realm and bes an Emperor realm cultivator, he was confident that, ''Without a doubt, I will be invincible among the Emperor realm cultivators.'' Moreover, with the help of his new sword [Soulsher], Ajax could even fight and kill the Demi-God realm cultivators. ''Should I continue to refine these [Bloodline Awakening Pills]?'' Among the three normal King-Grade recipes, the [Bloodline Awakening Pills] were a little special because they could help the cultivator awaken a bloodline. Of course, for that, the cultivator needs to eat hundreds or even thousands of them before they could awaken a bloodline. ''Currently, I have nearly one million Bloodline Awakening Pills and among them, half of them were crude and only the recently refined pills are of some good quality.'' Ajax still has a lot of ingredients for the refinement of the Bloodline Awakening Pills and since his Alchemy rank has been upgraded, he decided to refine some high-quality Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''Let''s refine some top-grade Bloodline Awakening Pills.'' Chapter 1561 Battle between the Rulers 1561 Battle between the Rulers ''Let''s refine some top-grade Bloodline Awakening Pills.'' ording to what Ajax knows about the Bloodline Awakening Pill, the higher the quality of the pills, the higher the awakened bloodline''s grade would be. Since one needed to swallow hundreds or even thousands of them to awaken a single bloodline, Ajax decided to fully focus on these pills and refine them until he exhausted all the ingredients he had for the Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''No matter how many Bloodline Awakening Pills I have, it still won''t be enough for me as I have so many re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts and friends to share.'' If there was a good item that could increase someone''s strength, Ajax was the type to share it with his friends from the Purple Stone World. Since the Blloding Awakening Pills are only effective on humans and the re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts, Ajax could only share the pills with them. ''As for the Bloodline Awakening Pills that I refined until now, I can just sell them in the Trader''s realm.'' Thanks to the Trader''s realm, Ajax could turn the excess pills and weapons into money. So, there was nothing to hold him back as he decided to go all out. ''Let''s begin the refinement.'' Soon, Ajax started the refinement of the Bloodline Awakening Pills. ¡­. ''The first step is to extract the essence of three main ingredients in an order and mix them together.'' This was his first refinement of the [Bloodline Awakening Pills] after bing a high-level King Grade Alchemist. Hence, Ajax took it slow and carefully recited the recipe step by step. ''In the second step, extract the essence of the two catalyst ingredients before mixing them into one.'' ''The third step is mixing the mixture of the essence of the three main ingredients with the mixture of the essence of the two catalyst ingredients.'' Even though Ajax recited them slowly, his hands were quick and his control over the fire had reached the level of a master. ''It''s time for my custom-made step: create a fire cauldron.'' Actually, a regr alchemist uses a Legend Grade cauldron; however, thanks to Ajax''s fire technique, he could skip using a real cauldron. Instead, he could create one and pour the entire mixture of the essences into that fire cauldron. Also, Ajax didn''t forget to fill the entire cauldron with his pure essence of nature before closing the lid with the fire. ''Temperature should be as high as possible.'' In the next step, Ajax raised the intensity of the mes to the maximum and left the cauldron-like for five minutes. ''Now, lower the temperature.'' Suddenly, the mes surrounding the fire cauldron disappeared without a trace. ''Disappear.'' It took another few minutes for Ajax to move to the next step where he made the fire cauldron disappear as a lump of red-coloured paste appeared in front of Ajax. ''Swoosh'' It was hovering in the air with the help of Ajax''s fire as he was ready to move to the final step in the refinement of the Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''Shaping and forming the pills.'' Soon, Ajax started injecting his purest form of the essence of nature into the red-coloured paste to forcefully separate them into 10 equal portions before using his mental energy to turn them into small perfect looking balls. Once Ajax was sure he had formed the perfect-shaped pills, he increased the fire intensity onest time and solidified them. ''Store'' In the next second, a huge empty bottle appeared in Ajax''s hand as he sent 10 red-coloured pills into the bottle. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully refining the 10 high-quality Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''High-Quality Pills? Excellent.'' Until now, Ajax was able to refine only low-quality bloodline awakening pills and once in a while, he was lucky to refine some mid-quality pills. And now, Ajax had directly refined 10 high-quality Bloodline Awakening Pills in his first refinement after bing a high-level King Grade Alchemist. ''It''s because of my Alchemist Grade.'' Since Ajax already has a 100 percent sess rate in refining the Bloodline Awakening Pills, the refinement won''t fail. Moreover, his alchemist rank has been upgraded to high-level Alchemy King. Hence, Ajax was not surprised too much by the drastic rise in the quality of the Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''Anyway, let''s continue.'' Soon, Ajax suppressed his excitement as he fully focused on refining the Bloodline Awakening Pills. ..... Time continued to pass as Ajax was umting thousands of Bloodline Awakening Pills and in a sh another one year passed by. There are still two more months left before Ajax''s time on the floating ind ispleted. Other than Ajax who waspletely focused on Alchemy, there was a drastic change in the strengths of those who focused on cultivating. Siora had be a level 6 Emperor realm cultivator and with her special techniques, he won''t have any problem taking care of normal high-level emperor realm cultivators. As for Raweth and Sparrow, their cultivation rose from level 1 to level 2 Emperor realm which was a huge increase in their strength because in the real world, it''s been less than a week and their cultivation rose by one minor realm. "Let''s take a stroll and check on others." Ajax stopped refining and wanted to check on others which was a hobby that he developed. "Boom" Suddenly, Ajax heard an explosive sound close to his hidden cave. "Aveline, I heard your son got killed by some human. Is that true?" Before Ajax could check what the explosive sound was, he heard a loud voice from the sky. "Maximus, it''s none of your concern." There was an angry reply and Ajax felt like it was a little familiar as he soon saw a Golden-Winged middle-aged man in the sky. Behind him, there were more than a hundred winged men and they had one golden wing and one silver wing. Opposite them, a handsome human wearing a red-coloured suit was in mid-air as though he stood on something but there was nothing beneath his feet. "That''s true but I heard you didn''t catch the killer yet." As soon as he finished his words, the human in the red suit released thousands of red-coloured bats at them, "Kill everyone." Chapter 1562 Battle Between the Rulers (2) 1562 Battle Between the Rulers (2) ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' The red-coloured bats were small but very fast as they reached the birdmen with gold-silver wings and started to attack them. "No need to hold back. Go all out and kill them." The golden-winged middle-aged man ordered his 100 subordinates without blinking his eyes. "Yes, Leader." Soon, the 100 bird men replied in a serious tone as they summoned silver-coloured swords and started shing at the iing blood bats. "Maximus, are you starting a war between our regions?" The golden-winged middle-aged man spoke with a face full of seriousness as he asked the handsome man in a red-coloured suit. "Aveline, you speak as though there was no war between our region?" ''Swoosh'' After scoffing, the man in the suit turned into a huge red-coloured bat and started attacking the golden-winged man. "It looks like you are seeking your death today." The middle-aged man was furious when the handsome man mentioned his son; however, he knew that the other party wanted to make him angry. However, he suppressed his anger and replied calmly before brandishing a golden sword and starting his fight with the handsome man who transformed into a bad. ¡­. ''Are they the rulers of two different regions on the floating ind?'' From their brief conversation, Ajax silently muttered to himself. On the Floating Ind, there were a total of six regions. Among them, five belong to Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Metal. The sixth region, it is a core region and the most mysterious region filled with powerful beasts above the Emperor Realm. ''It looks like the rulers of each region eye the other regions. It''s the same everywhere.'' Ajax continued to think while hiding his presence, ''I wonder whether I can fish to benefit from their fight?'' The benefit Ajax was thinking about was taking revenge on the Golden-winged man. ''It was because of him, I was unable to move freely on the Floating Ind and was unable to find any Mythical Grade Healing items for Snow.'' Hence, Ajax wanted to find an opportunity to kill the Golden-Winged middle-aged man with his own hands. ''However, even if I can find an opportunity to kill him, I don''t think that Blood Bat would let me off.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to rush into the fight between two big shots. Since the fight between the two rulers had just begun, Ajax nned, ''I will wait until they exhaust themselves and kill them both.'' From the conversation alone, Ajax could tell that both of them were proud and arrogant beings. So, if he stole their prey, he would be hunted down. With that thought in mind, Ajax continued to wait as he watched the fight between the big shots. ¡­. "Maximus, do you think you can win against me? Did you forget that you are in my territory?" Aveline, the golden-winged middle-aged man scoffed at the blood bat as he sh at one of the four wings of the blood bat. ''sh'' ''Screech'' The blood bat screeched in pain after losing one of its wings and soon after, it lost its bnce and fell close to the ce where Ajax was hiding. ''sh'' ''sh'' At the same time, his subordinates had already killed all the blood bats with some minor injuries on their body; however, no one had died, making Aveline proud. "I heard you have some problems with your brain, it looks like you are really crazy to enter my territory alone." Even though Aveline said that deep in his heart, he felt something was wrong because the fight was easy as he hardly used any of his powerful moves. At the same time, Maximum, the blood vampire king also didn''t use any of his powerful moves, making Aveline a little worried. ''I have to finish him before he can make any surprise moves.'' ''Swoosh'' With that thought in mind, Aveline tightened the grip around the hilt of his sword and flew towards the ce where Maximus had crashed earlier, hoping to finish him. "Huh? Where did he go?" However, just when Aveline was able to use his powerful move to kill the huge blood bat, it disappeared by leaving a pool of blood on the ground. "Are you searching for me?" In the next second, thousands of small blood bats rushed out of the blood pool and attacked Aveline. ''sh'' ''sh'' Aveline was good with his sword as he killed more than a dozen blood bats in each strike; however, he failed to kill one blood bat that bit him. "Damn you¡­.little bat!" Nevertheless, Aveline killed it too by crushing it. "Maximus, as a ruler aren''t you ashamed to hide like a coward?" Aveline knew that Maximus was still alive and looking at the bite marks on his chest, he was a little worried and wanted to kill Maximum at any cost today. "Aveline, I think I have had enough fun for today. Let''s meet some other day and at that time, you will be kneeling in front of me for sure." ''Swoosh'' As Aveline was crushing Maximus'' cheap tricks, he heard Maximus'' loud and proud voice from the distance and before he could do anything, he disappeared into the horizon. "What? Damn you¡­.little bat. Just wait for a couple of years, I will be entering the core region of the Floating Ind." Aveline felt he was humiliated by the Maximus as he swore, "Once I return from the core region, I will conquer the water region first and torture you until you beg me to kill you." After saying that, he flew into the air and ordered, "I will give you one more year to find that killer who killed my son. If you failed to find it, you should kill yourself because my punishment would be more cruel than death." After saying those words, Aveline didn''t look back as he flew into the distance, leaving behind his 100 subordinates with peak emperor realm cultivation. "Yes, Leader." Looking at the silhouette of Aveline, they bowed and looked at each before splitting in different directions. Chapter 1563 Going All Out (1) 1563 Going All Out (1) Outside the Floating Ind, ''I wonder whether that young master Ajax has found any rare items on the Floating Ind.'' The Metal Elemental Human Emperor muttered to himself while waiting for Ajax''s return. It''s been exactly seven days since Ajax entered the Floating Ind and he woulde out anytime now. Even though the Metal Elemental Human Emperor didn''t have any share of Ajax''s benefits, he was hoping that Ajax got many benefits from the floating ind. It was the only way for the Human Emperor to keep a good rtionship with Ajax and continue to get the World Cores. ''Since it was his first time entering the Floating Ind, it would encounter some good fortuitous encounters. Hence, I am sure that I can maintain a close rtionship with himpared to the other Elemental Human Emperors.'' There was always a rivalry between the five elemental human emperors and the one who maintains a close rtionship with Ajax and gets more World Cores. The one who gets more World Cores from Ajax would be the strongest one and gain the full rights to enter the Floating Ind and other benefits that only the five elemental human emperors knew of. ''Swiish'' Suddenly, a light shed on the tform that was used to enter the Floating Ind as Ajax appeared on it with a calm look on his face. "Young Master Ajax, how''s your stay on the Floating Ind? Did you gain any good items or a breakthrough in your cultivation?" Seeing Ajax return safely, the metal emperor heaved a sigh of relief as he rushed forward to Ajax and asked a series of questions in a single breath. Even though it was only seven days in the outside world, it was seven years on the Floating Ind. Hence, the metal emperor was sure that even if Ajax didn''t go looking for the treasures on the Floating Ind and spent his entire time cultivating, it would at least increase his cultivation by a single minor realm. "..." Ajax looked at the metal emperor without saying anything for a few moments before nodding his head. "I am tired now. I will talk with youter." Ajax said those words and silently left that world and returned to the Five Elemental World. "Siora, spend some time with your mother. I wille back in three weeks to pick you up." As soon as he returned to the Five Elemental World, Ajax didn''t check on the world because other than Siora, he also released Raweth and Sparrow from his inner world. With them, even if there were any problems in the Five Elemental World, they would take care of them. Compared to the seven days back, Raweth and Sparrow had be a lot more powerful because they had sessfully broken through to the Emperor Realm on the Floating Ind and even stabilized their cultivation. Currently, even if they enter a Greater World, they could easily suppress the regional lords in that world. "Ajax, be careful." Siora was not the type to cling to Ajax just to venture into the outside world. Despite wanting to be with Ajax, Siora knew it was not the time to be baggage to Ajax. That''s right! Even with her cultivation being higher than Ajax, Siora knew that she still could not defeat him and would only hold him back. Moreover, Ajax had lost one of his favourite contracted spirit beasts on the Floating Ind and currently, he wants nothing but to destroy that Golden City on the Floating Ind. For that to happen, Ajax should break through to the Emperor Realm and Siora could already tell that Ajax''s breakthrough was not simple. "I will be." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and with a single thought, he disappeared from his world and appeared in the Drawf World. "Everyone,e out." ''Swoosh'' With a single thought, more than 20 elemental spirits and more than a dozen contracted spirit beasts along with 1000 Battle Beasts and 11 Devouring Eagle Kings¡­no¡­one Devouring Eagle Emperor and peak Devouring Eagle King. From the moment Ajax returned from the Floating Ind, he was in a hurry as he didn''t want to waste any time. Currently, Ajax has three main goals. The first one, it is a very urgent one where Ajax finds Mythical Grade artifacts or treasures that could reconstruct Snow''s body and revive her. The second one was to find another set of simr items to reconstruct a body for his father and to revive him. Between the two, the first one had a time limit of 90 days and Ajax had already spent 5 days, leaving him only 85 days. As for the third goal, it was to take revenge on the Golden-Winged Middle-aged man named Aveline. He was the father of the young man who killed Snow for not bing his concubine and even wanted to turn Raweth and Sparrow into his ves. Even though Ajax had already killed him to lower his anger, because of that young man''s father, he was unable to venture to the Floating Ind properly to find the resources to revive Snow. In short, there was more than a single reason for Ajax to kill the Golden-Winged man and destroy the Golden City he ruled. Although Ajax still had a lot of other goals and objectives, currently, only these three were what Ajax really cared for and moreover, all these three goals needed him to be an Emperor Realm Cultivator. Even though he could stillplete them without breaking through to the Emperor Realm, it would take a lot of time to do that and unnecessary tension. Therefore, Ajax set a premium goal of bing an Emperor realm cultivator before focusing on those three goals. "Everyone, are you ready to go all out?" Ajax asked all his elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts, non-contracted spirit beasts and Battle Beasts in a loud voice. "Yes, Master." Everyone replied with eyes full of seriousness as they knew one of them was dead and they had to try their best to revive her. Chapter 1564 Going All Out (2) 1564 Going All Out (2) It was their second time seeing Ajax very serious about something. The first time was when the Golden-winged young man killed Snow and this is the second time. Moreover, Snow was one of them and it was their responsibility to try their best in reviving her. "Everyone, from today onwards will be fully focusing on the world-conquering mission and will be collecting as many world cores as possible." Ajax was satisfied with the seriousness of his elemental spirits and spirit beasts as he briefly said what they would be doing. "We are waiting for your orders, master." Everyone nodded their heads as they were waiting to hear Ajax''s orders. Even though they learned about the mission, they needed specific details regarding the mission so that it would be effective. Also, seeing how desperate Ajax was in saving Snow, the elemental spirits and the spirit beasts became emotional and their loyalty towards Ajax was off the charts. "Alder, what are the changes in the Portal Creation Ability of you and your underlings?" Even though Ajax could use the flying artifacts to go to the other worlds to conquer, it would take at least three days and a maximum of one month to enter a new world through that method. However, Ajax didn''t have that much time to waste. Moreover, when he had the easiest way to enter the other worlds, why would he go through all those troubles? Nevertheless, Ajax asked for the changes in those skills because Alder and the other Devour Eagle Kings evolved and had their strength increased a lot after consuming emperor realm beasts and beings on the floating ind in the first two years after entering. ''Ding, Beast Name: Alder, the Demonic Devourer Eagle King. Strength: Mid-level Emperor Realm. ''Ding, Beast Name: Cale, Cade, Calix¡­and all other devourer eagle kings. Strength: Low-level Emperor Realm. Since everyone had be an Emperor Realm Beast, it wasmon for their skills to get upgraded. Hence, Ajax asked about the changes in those skills. "After I be a mid-level emperor realm beast, I can open a portal to 1) Three Small Worlds / Day. 2) One Normal World / Day. 3) One Greater World / Week." Alder looked excited as he exined about the changes in his skill as he continued to exin the changes in the skills of his underlings. "As for my underlings, after they be the Emperor Realm Beast, they can open a portal to 1) One Small World / Day. 2) One Normal World / Week 3) One Greater World / Month." Alder was quick with his exnation but he was clear, making Ajax understand it easily. "In short, if we want, today, we can open the portal to 1) 13 Smaller Worlds. 2) 11 Normal Worlds. 3) 11 Greater Worlds." Ajax calcted how many worlds he could enter today and continued to speak, "And tomorrow, I can enter 1) 13 Smaller Worlds. 2) 1 Normal World." "Yes, Master." Alder nodded his head in agreement. "You can take care of the smaller worlds on your own in half an hour, right?" This question was asked by Ajax and it was directed at the 10 devour eagle kings behind Alder. "Yes, master. We can conquer it in just 10 minutes." With full confidence, the 10 devourer eagle kings nodded their heads. With their current strength, just entering the smaller worlds would nearly destroy the smaller worlds. Hence, they were confident that they could easily take care of a smaller world in less than 10 minutes. "What are you waiting for? Go on and wipe out all the smaller demonic worlds around us." After asking all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts whether they were ready to go all out in conquering the demonic worlds, Ajax brought them to a normal world in the Golden Demon Emperor''s territory. Ajax had long conquered that normal world; however, he didn''t destroy it yet as there were hundreds of smaller worlds and dozens of normal worlds around this world. Hence, he made it into his temporary base before ordering the 11 devourer eagle kings to take over the smaller demonic worlds around them in less than 10 minutes. "Yes, master." Without wasting any time, the Alder and his 10 underlings opened 10 portals in front of them and entered it¡­of course, Alder didn''t enter because his cultivation was in the mid-level emperor realm. Hence, Ajax sent a few elemental spirits and some contracted spirit beasts to take care of the smaller world. ''Shook'' ''Rumble'' Just their presence in the smaller demonic world made the entire world tremble as a smaller world could not handle the pressure from an emperor realm cultivator. In no time, Ajax received the transmission from the devour eagle kings who had already finished eating all the demons in the worlds they entered. ''Time to retrieve the smaller world cores.'' Even though Ajax wanted a Greater World Core to be an Emperor realm cultivator, he was not the type to give up on the smaller world cores. Moreover, it is just a warm-up for him before the real world-conquering mission begins. ''Ding, The host has retrieved a smaller world core. ''Ding, The host has retrieved a smaller world core. In less than five minutes, Ajax had moved to and fro and collected 13 smaller world cores. 10 smaller world cores from the 10 underlings of Alder whereas the three smaller world cores came from the three portals opened by Alder. ''System, show me the world cores I have on me, right now.'' Ajax stretched his back a little as he asked the system about the status of the world cores he had on him. ''Ding, Smaller world cores: 13. Normal world cores: 5. Greater world cores: 0. ''Combine.'' ''Ding, The host has sessfully merged 10 Smaller world cores in a single Normal world core. Without any hesitation, Ajax merged 10 smaller world cores into a Normal world core. ''Adding with thetest normal world core, I have six of them and I just need four more normal world cores and I can break through to the Emperor Realm.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he ordered, "Alder open the portal to a Normal World. It''s time we increase the difficulty of our mission." Chapter 1565 Going All Out (3) ?1565 Going All Out (3) To be the Emperor realm cultivator, Ajax needed a Greater World Core or 10 Normal World Cores. Currently, Ajax has six normal world cores and still needs four more normal world cores to achieve his goal. Even though Ajax has conquered a couple of Normal Worlds in the past, they were extremely weak that even some smaller worlds might conquer them if focused. Hence, he knew that the true difficulty of the [World Conquering Mission] would begin right now. ''I hope the Normal World I will be entering should be a low-level or mid-level one.'' Ajax silently thought in his mind as he ordered one of the Devour Eagle Kings to open the portal to the normal world core. Even if it was a high-level Normal World or a top-level Normal World that was about to be a Greater World, Ajax was confident in taking over the Normal World. It''s just about the time that is required for Ajax and his summons to conquer that Normal World. Another thing was, whether it was a low-level normal world or a top-level normal world, Ajax could get only one normal world core. Hence, he was hoping to get a low-level or mid-level normal world such that he could easily get one normal world in the shortest possible time. "Yes, master." ''Swoosh'' Soon, the devour eagle king started working on it. Compared to opening a portal to the smaller world, it required a lot of energy and additional time for the Devour Eagle King. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t mind waiting for a few minutes as he started thinking about four conquering ns for the four possibilities of the Normal World. "Swoosh" While Ajax was thinking about his ns, the devoured eagle king has sessfully finished opening the portal to a normal world. "Alder, while we are conquering this normal world, you have to be careful because that Golden Demon Emperor might send reinforcements to protect his normal world." Before entering the portal, Ajax informed Alder, the strongest devour eagle king about his task. Since they were inside the Golden Demon Emperor''s territory, there was a high possibility of the arrival of the first, second or even the third order Demon Apostles while they were conquering the Normal World. Unlike a smaller world, Ajax needed some time to conquer it and depending on the level of that normal world, the longer it would take for him to conquer. Therefore, someone should be watching for the arrival of the Demon Apostles and kill them the moment they arrive into the world without giving them a chance to use their battle prowess. "Don''t worry, master. I will take care of it." Alder, with his mid-level emperor realm cultivation, is the strongest re-cultivated beast and of course, he could take care of hundreds of third-order Demon Apsotles with varying cultivation of low-level emperor realm to high-level emperor realm. "Let''s go now. Everyone, be careful." After that, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he entered the huge portal along with all his elemental spirits, contracted spirit beasts and battle beasts. ¡­. "How dare you invade our world?" "Do you know this world belongs to the Golden Demon Emperor, Dilgin?" As the world protectors and rulers of the Normal Silver Demon World, they could feel the fluctuations and the otherworldly beings'' presence in their world. The moment they felt it, more than 12 Silver Demon Emperors along with three Golden Demon Emperors (not Dilgin) rushed towards Ajax and his summons. "Of course, I know." Ajax was calm as he nodded his head at the questions asked by the 15 Demon Emperors in front of him. "How dare you look down on His Majesty? Everyone, let''s kill this human brat and his army of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." One of the Golden Demon Emperors became furious because Dilgin, the True Golden Demon Emperor was none other than his Great Great Grandfather. As soon as he finished his words, that demon emperor rushed forward to kill Ajax. ''Swoosh'' However, a young boy beside Ajax turned into a huge dragon and blocked the iing attack with its wings. "Destructive Divine Dragon, finish them all." On the other hand, Ajax remained in his position as he ordered the Twilight and at the same time, gave some orders to his other summons. "Alder, Volcanis and Ignis, you three stay back and the remaining ones know what to do, right?" "Yes, Master." "Yes, Summoning Master." All elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts roared in excitement before dispersing in different directions. Of course, they formed into teams of two or three depending on their strengths and weaknesses. Ajax gave more importance to forming the teams and increasing their synergy so that they could even defeat an opponent one grade higher than them without any worries. Even if they were unable to defeat an opponent in this normal world, they won''t have any problem escaping unless they encounter a being who was very powerful like the Golden Demon Emperor Dilgin. Hence, Ajax was not worried that another incident like Snow''s death would happen in this world as all the powerful leaders of the world had already assembled in front of him. "Haha¡­you think you can defeat us, the mid-level emperors with a king-grade cultivation and mid-level emperor-grade contracted beast?" However, the 15 demon emperors looked at Ajax and could not help butugh out loud and mocked him. Currently, Twilight is still a king-grade spirit beast, and Ignis and Volcanis are also yet to break through to the emperor realm. Except for the devoured eagle king, the demon emperors didn''t feel any danger from them. "Twilight, can you kill them all or do you need some assistance?" Ajax didn''t bother about the Demon Emperor''s words because he had already got used to them by now. Instead, he asked the divine dragon whether it could take care of the demon emperors on its own. "Of course, I can take care of them, Master." As soon as it finished its words, Twilight released the aura that it was suppressing all this time. "T-this is¡­.Divine Aura¡­.a Divine Dragon? Divine Dragon and a young man¡­don''t tell me we encountered the Human monster that is destroying all the demon worlds." ***** Check out my new Story [The Supreme Hunter] on Patreon for free. https://.patreon/vinayraj Chapter ?1566 Twilights Might ?1566 Twilight''s Might By now, in almost all smaller and normal demon worlds in the five demon emperor''s regions, there was news that was spreading at an incredible speed. It was about a young man who couldmand a divine dragon. Both the young man and the divine dragon were on a mission of destroying the smaller demon worlds in the five regions belonging to the Five Great Demon Emperors. Of course, no one thought that the young man was destroying the worlds to extract the world cores and only thought that the human was taking revenge against the demon worlds by destroying them. Otherwise, by now, Ajax''s identity would have been revealed already and the Great Golden Demon Emperor would have not made a deal with him in the Trader''s realm. ''Hurry up and contract the Great Demon Emperor.'' Even though all 13 Demon Emperors were shaking in fear when they saw the Divine Aura emitting by the Dragon, one of them mustered his courage and hurriedly ordered the Demon Emperor in charge of contacting the Greater Demon World which was in charge of protecting all the world in the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s territory. "Human, His Majesty is already furious at you for destroying dozens of Smaller Demon Worlds under his control. You might think that His Majesty was unable to do anything to you; however, it would be a different thing if you destroy the Normal Demon World." "The moment you destroy this world, he would personallye for you and you could not escape from His Majesty''s territory." Despite being afraid of Ajax and the Divine Dragon along with the Mid-level emperor grade Devour Eagle, the ruler of the world tried to intimidate Ajax with his words. "Is that so?" After returning from the Floating Ind, Ajax was not worried too much about the five Great Demon Emperors because even if he could not kill them, no one could stop him from escaping if he wanted. In short, even Ajax was looking forward to confronting the Great Demon Emperors to test their strength and at the same time, test his own skills so that, when he returns to the Floating Ind, he would be more confident in taking down the Golden City and its ruler. "Yes." The Golden Demon Emperor of the normal world nodded with a forced smile on his face as he suggested, "Therefore, I suggest you leave this world as soon as possible if you value your life." Even though there was a huge reward for capturing Ajax and the Divine Dragon, the Golden Demon of the normal world knew his own limits and didn''t want to get into danger when he was about to break through to the High-level Emperor Realm. "Twilight, what are you waiting for? He is saying that he would let us go from here to save our lives. What do you say? Shall we leave?" Ajax looked at the Divine Destructive Dragon and asked a series of questions which only angered Twilight. [Double Divine Destruction Cannons] In the next second, two magical cannons appeared on both sides of the dragon and released a powerful purple-coloured energy beam at the group of Demon Emperors. "What?" The Golden Demon Emperor and the other protectors of the normal world were not expecting the dragon to attack them so suddenly. Before they could even have the chance to defend themselves, they were sted away by the purple-coloured energy released by the Cannons. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Destructive Dragon has killed 10 low-level demon emperors and gained 10 million units of Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Additional energy from the ten bodies was added to the host''s [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]. Since most of the protectors of the normal world were only low-level demon emperors, they were easily killed by the Divine Destructive Dragon in a single attack. As for the remaining three Golden Demon Emperors with mid-level emperor realm cultivation, they were injured as they looked at Ajax and the Divine Dragon with murderous eyes. "Twilight, it looks like you have to be an Emperor Grade Beast to kill a mid-level demon emperor in a single attack or I should activate my bloodline [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline] to temporarily boost your battle prowess." Ajax was calm as hemented on Twlight''s battle prowess. "It''s alright, master. Save your bloodline boost for emergencies." Since Ajax was nning to conquer more Normal Worlds today, Twilight suggested that the bloodline would be useful for the future. Once Ajax used the bloodline, it would enter into a cooldown of 12 hours and if they encountered a real powerful enemy during that time, it would be dangerous for them. Hence, Twilight didn''t want the boost from the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline just to kill an opponent in a single attack. "His Majesty will definitely take revenge for me." As the great-grandson of the Great Golden Demon Emperor, the Golden Demon Emperor was confident that Dilgin would take revenge for him. Even though he was the Great Golden Demon Emperor and had hundreds of sons and thousands of Grandsons and hundreds of thousands of great-grandsons, he gave importance to the family. Hence, he was confident that Ajax had to be ready for revenge on his Great Grandfather. "I will be naturally waiting for him; however, I am in a hurry. For now, you should just go to eternal sleep and I will send your Great GrandFather to apany you in the Eternal World." As soon as Ajax finished his words, Twilight used another one of its powerful moves three more times to kill the three mid-level demon emperors. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Destructive Dragon has killed three mid-level demon emperors and gained 30 million units of Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Additional energy from the three bodies was added to the host''s [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]. Ajax had activated the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] for his Demonic Avatar but not for his body. While Twilight was killing them, Ajax secretly circted the crude version of the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] to increase the rewards when it unlocked it. That''s right! Ajax was umting the requirements to unlock the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] to the fullest because after seeing the rewards of his Demonic Avatar, Ajax became even more excited about it. ***** Check out my new Story [The Supreme Hunter] on Patreon for free. https://.patreon/vinayraj Chapter 1567 Descent of the Danger 1567 Descent of the Danger ''Ding, 1) Skill: Starfire Tempest. 2) Cultivation technique: Elemental Weapon Strike. (Can be used with all weaoons) 3) Cultivator''s soul: Barrier of Absorbtion (Level 1 King Soul). 4) Bloodline: Demon God of Destruction. There was the rewards that Ajax''s Demonic Avatar had received when he unlocked the [Blessed Refining Techniqe]. These rewards were the most basic rewards since an avatar could not receive the full rewards as they were reserved for Ajax''s main body. Moreover, after his demonic avatar unlocked the [Blessed Refining Technique], Ajax had killed so many emeror realm cultivators and beasts in the floating ind and he was still doing it now. Hence, Leo was sure that the rewards he would be getting after unlocking the [Blessed Refining Technique] were going to a top-notch. Also, Ajax was not going to stall it for any longer and decided to unlock it after he became an Emperor Realm Cultivator which was only three more Normal World Cores away from him. ''This world''s word core is already mine now.'' Since all the protectors of this normal world had been killed, Ajax had already counted this world''s normal core in his pocket. Time continued to pass and it took more than 30 minutes for his summons and the contracted beasts to sweep the entire world. Compared to a small demon world, a normal world is ten to hundred times bigger. Hence, it took more than 30 minutes for Ajax''s all contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to kill all the demons in the world. ''Ding, The host''s divine destructive dragon has killed the World Emperor and the protector of the Normal Demon World. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits had sessfully wiped all the natives of this demon world. ''Ding, The host has sessfully met the requirements to enter the Core Realm of this Normal Demon World. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head, informing him that he could finally retrieve the world core from the world. After fully conquering the world, Ajax could either upy the world or destroy it by retrieving the world. Since Ajax didn''t have any interest in taking over a normal demon world and he was in need of the world cores, he didn''t have to think while picking the second option. "Everyone, retreat. I will pick the world core and return." Soon after, Ajax ordered his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to return back to their base world which was a normal demon world that Ajax received from the Great Golden Demon Emperor as a part of their deal. ''Let''s retrieve the world core.'' After giving the orders to his summons, Ajax''s spirit consciousness entered the core realm of the normal demon world and without much suspense, he sessfully retrieved the world core. ¡­. In the Normal Demon World, (Ajax''s Base) "Guys, we are lucky to enter a low-level normal world but we still need to be careful in our next normal world." After returning back to the base world, Ajax kept the normal world core aside and said those words to his summons. "Yes, master." "Now then, shall we go to the next world or do you guys need a break?" Ajax had basically spent zero effort in retrieving the world core; however, it was not the same for his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits who had to run around the world to kill all the demons. Hence, Ajax asked whether they need a break before resuming their world conquering mission. "Let''s continue, master." "Other than running, we barely spent any energy on killing the demons." "Yes, Summoning master." "Moreover, Spirus, Floris, Lumin have already helped us recover our energy and stamina." Since no one wanted a break, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he continued his world conquering mission. Maybe it was Ajax''s luck after returning from the floating ind that has been increased or for whatever the reason, the next two normal worlds Ajax entered were also low-level normal worlds. In less than two hours, Ajax and his summons had sessfully conquered two more normal worlds and retrieved their world cores. ''Ding, Smaller world cores: 0. Normal world cores: 9. Greater world cores: 0. ''All I need is one more Normal World Core and can sessfully be an Emperor realm cultivator.'' Ajax was able to conquer the three low-level Normal Demon Worlds; however, he didn''t be arrogant because the moment he let his guard down, incidents simr to Snow''s death would happen. Whenever things go in Ajax''s way, he would always remember that incident and be even more careful because such incidents happen at the most unexpected times. ''As long as I can conquer this normal demon world, I don''t have to fear anyone in this world and my other goals will be very easy once I be an Emperor Realm Cultivator.'' With enough strength, Ajax could go anywhere to search for the items or ingredients in the universe. Hence, all his other objectives were connected to him having enough strength. And ording to Ajax, as long as he has emperor realm cultivation, he would be invincible in the universe¡­at least that''s what he thought. "Who is going to open the portal next?" Currently, there were still eight more Devour Eagle Kings including Alder who could open the portal to the normal world. Hence, Ajax asked one of them to open the portal to the normal demon world. "So, it is really you, the b*stard ''Harbinger of Destruction'' who is destroying my worlds." Just as one of the devourer eagle kings was about to open the portal to the normal world, an angry voice resounded from the sky as more than 1000 golden demons descended on the world. ''Roar'' After those 1000 Golden Demons descended, a demonic roar came from outer space as a huge demonic spirit beast slowly descended in front of Ajax and his summons. "Great Golden Demon Emperor Dilgin?" Ajax raised his brows when he saw who was sitting on that huge demonic spirit beast. ¡­.. StryderAdon, thanks for the DRAGON. A second chapter will be released today¡­wait for it. Chapter ?1568 [Bonus chapter] Zeroth Order Demonic Apsotles ?1568 [Bonus chapter] Zeroth Order Demonic Apsotles A couple of hours back, "Your Majesty, we just received news from one of your Great Grandson''s worlds that the young man and his Divine Dragon reappeared after taking a break for eight days." A Winged Golden Demon Emperor rushed towards the Great Golden Demon Emperor and hurriedly informed him about the news he received from one of the normal demon worlds. "So that b*stard is finally back." The Great Golden Demon Emperor was not angry; instead, he was happy that the young man and the Divine Dragon had finally appeared in his territory. "Yes, Your Majesty. Also, your great-grandson has decided to sacrifice himself to leave a faint demonic mark on that young man for you to trace him." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor nodded his head as he continued speaking, "All he requested was His Majesty to take revenge for him and take the Divine Dragon from the young man to be the Leader of all Great Demon Emperors in the Universe." "..." Hearing his minister''s words, Dilgin remained silent for a few moments before saying, "What a filial great-grandson! Only if all my descendants are like that, I would have long be the leader of all Great Demon Emperors and united all five demon territories before conquering the entire universe." Dilgin clenched his fists as he asked the minister, "So, can you trace the mark left behind by filial descendants?" "Yes, Your Majesty." The minister nodded his head and asked, "Should I send 100 third-order demon apostles to that location to capture that human and the Divine Dragon?" "What? Did you get your brains eaten by the Demonic Vultures or what?" Dilgin mmed the arm of his Thorne as he stood up from the throne and said, "The young man is intelligent and powerful. So, it is hard to capture him with just 100 third-order Demon apostles." "T-then¡­what¡­" The minister was a special high-level Demon Emperor; however, in front of the Great Golden Demon Emperor, he was shivering with fear. "Order the Zeroth order Demon Apostles that were resting in the Demon God''s Burial Ground." Dilgin didn''t think much as he ordered the Winged Golden Demon Emperor. "What? Zeroth order Demon Apostles? How many of them, Your Majesty? Also, are you sure about it?" For a moment, the minister was shocked by Dilgin''s order and asked whether he was sure about his decision while asking for how many demon apostles he should awaken from the Demon God''s Burial Ground. Under each Great Demon Emperor, there are apostles with different ssifications like First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth depending on the strength and contribution of the demonic apostles, they would be moved up thedder. However, there was a special order of demonic apostles called Zeroth Demonic Apostles whose strength was equivalent to high-level demon emperors. Also, there is a unique ability for these so-called Zeroth Demonic Apostles and it was called [Mindless Rage], once activated, their strength would be temporarily increased to peak emperor realm and don''t feel the pain. If they were not the ves of the Great Demon Emperors, they would have been long killed by those five Great Demon Emperors. "Is there a need to ask those questions?" Diglin scoffed at his minister and ordered, "Send all of them." "It is a matter of my future. As long as I can capture that young man and his divine dragon, I can fulfil the Demon God''s prophecy." Dilgin even exined why he was going all out when it came to the young man and his divine dragon. Previously, Dilgin had failed to capture the young man and his divine dragon and he didn''t want to fail another time. "Also, make arrangements for me. We will be going with the 1000 Zeroth order demonic apostles." The Great Golden Demon Emperor''s words gave another shock to the ministers who hurriedly nodded his head without asking any questions. Even though he was a minister who was supposed to advise the Great Golden Demon Emperor, he was just a servant who looked after the worlds under the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s territory. ¡­. The Winged Golden Demon Emperor hurriedly prepared Dilgin''s mount, a huge flying-type demonic beast with a cultivation of mid-level Emperor Realm. Soon, from the Greater Demon World, a 1000 powerful golden demons followed by a huge demonic beast with Dilgin left at an incredible pace. ''What? Isn''t he [Harbinger of Destruction]? Wait¡­isn''t that the Divine Dragon?'' After one hour, Dilgin had seen Ajax and his summons returning back to their base world. And what shocked Dilgin was a little boy who was leaking the traces of Divine Dragon. ''So, I have invited a wolf in sheep''s clothing into my territory.'' Finally, Dilgin''s thoughts about [Harbinger of Destruction] werepletely wrong as he had entered his territory with a n. Initially, when the Great Golden Demon Emperor and Ajax made a deal in the Trader''s realm, he thought Ajax was a spoiled young master belonging to one of the Greater Human Worlds and wanted to take advantage of him. However, only now did he realize that the so-called spoiled young master had already taken advantage of him and destroyed more than 30 smaller demon worlds and three normal worlds. "I am not going to let that b*stard die that easily. I am going to torture him and make him give all the world cores he had on him." Just the thought of how a young human fooled him, the Great Golden Demon Emperor, made Dilgin angry. "Wait a second¡­he is destroying the world but at the same time, he was able to sell the world cores. That means, he has the ability to retrieve the world cores from the worlds, right?" Suddenly, the Great Golden Demon Emperor had thought of something which made his heart race with excitement, ''He is thedder for me toplete my goal.'' With that thought in mind, Dilgin ordered his army to descend onto the world and soon, he also ordered his mount to descend. ¡­ Present, "[Harbinger of Destruction], I have two options for you. Be my ve and live or reject and die a gruesome death." As soon as he descended, Dilgin had given Ajax two options and asked him to select one from them. ****** Chapter ?1569 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (1) ?1569 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (1) Initially, the Great Golden Demon Emperor Dilgin thought to torture and kill the young man before taking his Divine Dragon to fulfil the prophecy from the Demonic God. However, after learning about the young man''s identity as the [Harbinger of the Destruction], Dilgin changed his thoughts on how to deal with the young man. Dilgin was collecting the world cores for some reason and as long as he could turn the young man in front of him into his ve, he could not worry about the World Cores anymore and focus on fulfilling the prophecy with the Divine Dragon. ''This young human is someone that could fulfil both my lifelong dreams. I have to keep him on my side.'' Dilgin has never thought that his lifelong dreams needed the help of a young human to fulfil. Once Ajax bes the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s ve, not only could he continue to retrieve the world cores from the worlds but the divine dragon would also be his ve. ''If he doesn''t choose the second option, I could only kill him as he is not allowed to grow any further to avoid any future troubles.'' At the same time, Dilgin was only adamant about making Ajax as his ve because the young human in front of him was very dangerous and should not be allowed to leave. Dilgin didn''t be a Great Golden Demon Emperor in a single night. It took him more than five centuries and countless trials filled with life and death, to make him what he is today. Hence, he knew very well what he should do with Ajax depending on the choice Ajax chose. "By the way, I forgot to mention, there is no way for you to escape from this world as I have already sealed the entire space around this world." Since the young man with the Divine Dragon was known for having good escaping skills, Dilgin had already sealed the entire space around this world. Thanks to that, the Greay Golden Demon Emperor was fully confident that he got the entire situation under control. "Which option do you choose? First or Second?" Dilgin asked Ajax once again as the 1000 Zeroth Order Demon Apostles were ready to attack Ajax if he chose the first option. "If my cultivation was Emperor realm, I would have chosen the first option which was to fight you; however, I am still a king realm cultivator." Ajax didn''t answer his choice directly as he continued to say, "If I fight in my current situation, only death awaits me." "Haha¡­it looks like you got some brains." Even though Ajax didn''t say that he would be his ve, the Great Golden Demon Emperor could tell that Ajax was already scared to fight him. And the next oue was nothing but Ajax bing his ve¡­at least that''s what the Great Golden Demon Emperor thought in his mind. "Since you have already decided to be my ve, close your eyes and let me leave my Demonic Mark on your spirit consciousness." In this world, no one would believe their enemies that wanted to be ves and the only method was to let those enemies'' spirit consciousness imprint with their mark. As long as the owner felt something suspicious about the ve, he could kill him with a single thought. What''s more, some powerful demons like Dilgin''s demonic marks have the power that could instantly kill their ves if they have any evil thoughts towards them. Hence, as long as Dilgin ces his Demonic Mark on Ajax, he could rest assured andplete his lifelong dreams. "Sure. Please leave your Demonic Mark on my spirit consciousness." Ajax didn''t think much as he nodded his head and closed his eyes while giving permission for the Great Golden Demon Emperor to enter his body to leave his Demonic Mark. ''....'' Diglin was excited for a moment; however, for some reason, he had a bad feeling about Ajax. Because from what he heard and saw, Ajax was not the type to easily give in. ''If he gave in so easily, that only means he had some n.'' When this thought came to Dilgin''s mind, his hands unconsciously shivered. Even though he was a Great Golden Demon Emperor, he feared Death so much because he was so close topleting his two lifelong dreams and he didn''t want to die now. "You over there¡­go and leave your Demonic Mark on his spirit consciousness." Hence, Dilgin ordered one of the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles to ce the demonic mark instead. ''Che¡­it looks like he already figured that out.'' Seeing that Dilgin sent someone else to ce the Demonic Mark, Ajax cursed and shook his head. Even though Ajax was only a peak king realm cultivator, his spirit consciousness was much stronger than most of the peak emperor realm cultivators. Once Dilgin''s spirit consciousness enters his body, Ajax was confident in destroying or injuring it severely. If a cultivator, whether it was a human cultivator or a demonic cultivator, injures his spirit consciousness, his main body would also receive injuries and be weak. If the spirit consciousness is destroyed, then automatically the main would also die and it was the same with the injuries also. However, since Dilgin was sending someone else, Ajax''s n would work; however, instead of Dilglin, someone else would die which won''t help Ajax in the current situation. Instead, it would only worsen the situation. "Sorry, but I don''t want to be a ve to someone who is weaker than me." Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t agree with Dilgin sending someone else and voiced out his opinion with a good reason. "Is that so?" Dilgin chuckled when he heard Ajax''s reply and thought, ''It looks like he really had some sort of n when he chose the second option.'' "Fine then, let him defeat you first and then you can let him imprint his Demonic Mark on your spirit consciousness. What do you say?" Dilgin thought about it for a moment before suggesting a duel between Ajax and the Zeroth Order Demon Apostle selected by Dilgin. Chapter ?1570 Contracted Spirit Beast versus Demon Apostle (1) ?1570 Contracted Spirit Beast versus Demon Apostle (1) Since Dilgin had already sealed the entire space around the world, he was not worried that Ajax could escape. Moreover,pared to killing Ajax, the Great Golden Demon Emperor preferred to turn Ajax into a ve. Hence, he wanted to try a few things to turn Ajax into a ve and if they didn''t work, then, he didn''t mind killing Ajax. ''By doing so, at least I don''t have any regrets in the future.'' For a cultivator, whether it was a human or a demon, regrets from the past would create inner demons and these demons would stop them from progressing in their cultivation. Hence, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was going with the flow to turn Ajax into a ve. "You¡­.don''t kill him. Just defeat him." After selecting a Zeroth Order Demon Apostle, Dilgin ordered him not to kill Ajax during the fight because Dilgin wanted Ajax to be alive. Among the 100 Zeroth Order Demon Apostles, all of them have the simr strength of High-level Emperor Realm Cultivation. Moreover, if all 1000 of these Zeroth Order Demon Apostles worked together, even Dilgin, the Great Golden Demon Emperor would die without a doubt. ''If he could defeat him, I will just select another Zeroth Order Demon Apostle and at some point, he would have no choice but to be the ve of one of the Demon Apsotle.'' Since Ajax was only a high-level king realm cultivator, there was no way for him to kill a Zeroth Order Demon Apostle and even if he was defeated, Dilgin had already nned to continue the same process until Ajax could not fight anymore. "Sure." Ajax nodded his head at the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s suggestion and ordered Alder, "Alder, you can defeat him, right?" That''s right! Ajax was not nning to fight the Zeroth Order Demon Apostle, instead, he was nning to send Alder, the leader of the Devourer Eagle Kings to fight the demon apostle. "With ease, master." As a beast with a mid-level emperor realm''s strength, Alder was confident in killing the high-level Golden Demon Emperor and nodded its head at Ajax. "If you need any help, just say it." After saying that, Ajax sent Alder to fight against the Demon Apostle, making Dilgin not surprised at all. From the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s perspective, among Ajax''s all contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, only Alder has the highest strength and without a doubt, Dilgin could guess that Ajax would send the Devourer Eagle King. "If your beast gets defeated, you will let my Demon Apostle leave his Demonic Mark on your Spirit consciousness." Before the fight started, Dilgin reminded Ajax of their condition. "And what if my Spirit Beast defeats your Demon Apostle? What are you going to do?" Ajax nodded his head at Dilgin''s words and at the same time, he asked what he would get if his spirit beast wins. "Do you even have a choice here?" Dilgin scoffed at Ajax''s words and said, "Don''t misunderstand that just because I want you as my ve doesn''t mean I would hear all your requests." "If you feel it''s unfair, you can die by my hands." The Great Golden Demon Emperor didn''t bother to wait for Ajax''s reply as he ordered the Demon Apostle, "What are you waiting for? Begin the fight." ''Swoosh'' As soon as Dilgin finished his words, the Demon Apostle brandished his huge demonic sword and rushed towards the Devourer Eagle King. [Emperor eleration] ''Swoosh'' As for the Devourer Eagle King, it activated his Beast Soul and soon, a transparent eagle came out of Alder''s body and covered its whole body. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the speed of the Devourer Eagle King had increased to a level where it left behind after images and instantly appeared in front of the Demon Apostle. Alder has mainly focused on only twows and they were [eleration] and the other one was [Devour]. Soon, thosews were turned into King Souls and then became Emperor Souls called [Emperor eleration] and [Full Demonic Devour]. [Feather st] ''Swoosh'' Before the Demon Apostle could do anything, Alder used a skill that sted thousands of its feathers in the direction of the Demon Apostle. [Golden Demon Armour] [Golden Demon Sword] Even though the Devou Eagle''s attacks were fast, the Demon Apostle unconsciously activated his Emperor-level Demonic Soul. Just like how Alder mastered two of his innatews to the emperor realm, the Demon Apostle also did the same and the innatews of the Golden Demon Emperor were [Demon Armour] and [Demon Sword] which turned into [Golden Demon Armour] and [Golden Demon Sword]. ''ng'' ''Pang'' Among thousands of feathers, only 100 or so feathers were aimed at the Demon Apostle in which half of them were blocked by the Transparent Demonic Armour around him. Whereas the other half was blocked by the Demon Apostle''s swordsmanship. "Do you know how the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles are created? If you know, you won''t waste any time fighting them." After the Demon Apostle blocked the feather bullets, the Great Golden Demon Emperor looked at Ajax and asked, "Should I tell you?" However, there was no response from Ajax, making Dilgin think that Ajax was not interested. "Nevermind, all you need to know is that they were created to never lose in a fight." After saying that, Dilgin continued to watch the fight which started to be intense. ''It looks like he got a powerful beast under his control.'' Seeing how the Devour Eagle King was able to fight against the Demon Apostle on equal grounds, Dilgin was surprised at Ajax. Not only did Ajax have a Divine Dragon but he also had a rare beast Devourer Eagle King that could fight his Zeroth Order Demon Apostle on equal grounds. ''Screech'' Soon, the fight started turning in the favour of the Devour Eagle King, making the Great Golden Demon Emperor frown a little. [Demon God''s Bloodline, activate] In the next second, the Demon Apostle activated his bloodline and soon, his aura changed. ''His¡­aura ... .is bing powerful?'' Alder felt fear in his heart; however, it had only one thought, ''I have to keep going to make my master''s n sessful.'' Chapter 1571 Contracted Spirit Beast versus Demon Apostle (2) 1571 Contracted Spirit Beast versus Demon Apostle (2) ''I have to keep going to make my master''s n sessful.'' This was the only thought in Alder''s mind after feeling the changes in the Demonic Apostle. Since Ajax was nning something and required some time to execute that, Alder felt it was its duty to get that required time for his master. ''I can do it.'' Without any hesitation, Alder decided to use its trump card that it was saving for thest. ''If I don''t do anything now, there won''t be any use saving that trump card.'' This was the thought in Alder''s head and shouted out loud, "Ancient Roc Bloodline, activate." ''Swoosh'' Alder had also awakened a bloodline which it rarely used because the side effects of using that bloodline were very high. ''With this bloodline, I can easily survive any opponent for the next 10 minutes. I have to defeat him before the side effects appear.'' With that thought in mind, Alder started fighting the Demon Apostle who had already activated his own bloodline. [Golden Energy Sword Strike] The Demon Apostle released a powerful energy sword wave at the Devourer Eagle King. ''Dodge'' Alder dodged it easily with its speed; however, the energy sword wave didn''t disappear; instead, it followed him. "You must be feeling lonely¡­let''s get things interesting with a few more energy sword waves." As soon as he finished his words, the Demon Apostles started swinging his sword at the Devourer Eagle King. [Golden Energy Sword Strike] [Golden Energy Sword Strike] In just a few seconds, the Demon Apostle has released more than a dozen energy sword waves and all of these energy sword waves were following the Devourer Eagle King. ''Swoosh'' Thanks to its bloodline, the Devourer Eagle King''s speed has reached the point where it looked like it was teleporting from one ce to another. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Alder used its teleportation-level speed to make the iing energy sword wave collide with each other and explode. [Dragon-Eagle w] While doing that, the Devourer Eagle King even counter-attacked the Demon Apostle in order not to give him any time to rest. "Brat, you got a good contracted spirit beast and if you are given some time, the entire Demon Race would have been threatened by your very existence." Looking at how well-versed the Devourer Eagle King was in its battle with the Demon Apostle, he praised it and at the same time, felt threatened by Ajax''s existence. Not only did the young human had already be a high-level king realm cultivator but he also had a Divine Dragon and a mid-level emperor realm Devourer Eagle King as his contracted spirit beasts. Moreover, earlier, the Great Golden Demon Emperor had already seen different types of elemental spirits around Ajax which made hime to the conclusion that he was a universal summoner. Dilgin continued to speak, "However, it''s too bad that you encountered me and your contracted spirit beast has encountered my Demon Apostle. When ites to the long battles, my Demon Apostle always has an upper hand." Even though it''s been only a few minutes since the battle had started, they have used their emperor realm souls and some powerful attacks. However, between the Devourer Eagle King and the Demon Apostle, the Devourer Eagle King looked a little exhausted whereas the Demon Apostle looked perfectly fine without a hint of exhaustion. ''What kind of monsters are these Zeroth Order Demon Apostles?'' Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, who were watching the fight, were shocked by the Demon Apostle''s battle prowess. "Let''s see whether he will be fine after this attack." The Devourer Eagle King was proud and even Ajax had a hard time in taming it and now the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s words had hit its sore point. Therefore, it decided to use its other trump card. [Demonic Devour Soul] It was an innatew that evolved into an Emperor''s Soul through the continuous devouring of the Devourer Eagle King. ''Swoosh'' As soon as it activated its innate Emperor Soul, another transparent eagle came out of its body and wrapped around the Devourer Eagle King. What followed next was a huge suction of energy from the Demon Apostle that the Devourer Eagle King was fighting. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' In less than a few seconds, the Demon Apostle felt all his energy drained from his body and felt weak for a moment. "Now, it is time for you to die." Even before the Demon Apostle could recover from his one moment of weakness, the Devour Eagle King used, [Dragon-Eagle Beak] With a powerful beak attack, it pecked at the Demon Apostle and punctured his body before tossing it into its mouth. ''Swoosh'' Alder didn''t stop there as it continued to use the Emperor Grade Soul [Demonic Devour] to absorb everything from the Demon Apostle''s body, leaving the Great Golden Demon Emperor surprised. "It looks like I have greatly underestimated your contracted spirit beast." Dilgin chuckled a little as he continued to say, "Since he failed to defeat your contracted spirit beast, I will send another one of my Demon Apostles." After saying that, the Great Golden Demon Emperor didn''t waste any time and at the same time didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he sent another Zeroth order demon apostle to fight the Devourer Eagle King. "Also, I just thought of something¡­why don''t you send a few more of your contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits? I will also send half the number of Demon Apostles to fight with them?" Soon, the Greater Golden Demon Emperor had thought of something which made his eyes sparkle. After witnessing the battle prowess of the Devourer Eagle King, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was curious to see the battle prowess of Ajax''s other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. Since Ajax was going to be his ve, it was good to see what his ves contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits were capable of. Hence, he suggested the battle of multiple summons Against the multiple Demon Apostles. "Why are you not saying anything? Are you sleeping with your eyes wide open?" Dilgin joked when he saw Ajax was not replying to him. **** Chapter ?1572 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (2) ?1572 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (2) ''Huh? What''s wrong with him?'' Even though the Great Golden Demon Emperor joked with Ajax, there was hardly any change in his facial expressions of Ajax, making Dilgin frown. "Human, why are you not replying to me?" Unlike before, Dilgin used his demon soul power while asking that question in order to show that he was being serious. As a Great Golden Demon Emperor, Dilgin never experienced the feeling of not getting a reply to his questions; however, today, the young human in front of him didn''t reply to him for thest 10 minutes. "It looks like you are looking down on me for being lenient on you." After saying that, Dilgin jumped down from the Demonic Spirit Beast that he was sitting on. ''Rumble'' Just as hended on the ground, the entire world shook. "Sure, I will send the remaining devourer eagle kings and you can send five of your demon apostles." Suddenly, Ajax replied to the Great Golden Demon Emperor, agreeing to his previous suggestion of fighting multiple summons versus multiple demon apostles. Since the other Devourer Eagle Kings were low-level emperor realm cultivators, Dilgin suggested that it would only be half the number of Ajax''s summons. Adding Alder to the newly selected ten devourer eagle kings, Ajax''s team has a total of ten participants whereas Dilgin''s team has five demon apostles. "Let''s begin the fight!" Seeing that Ajax agreed to his suggestion, Dilgin nodded his head as he ordered his Demon Apostles to start fighting. [Golden Demon Armour] [Golden Demon Sword] Without wasting any time, they summoned their two Emperor Souls and merged with them before rushing towards the group of devourer eagle kings. "Devourer Eagles, merge." Unlike before, Ajax was more active and confident as he even gave the battle orders for the devourer eagle kings. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as they heard Ajax''s order, the 10 devourer eagle kings that joined the battlefield started merging in pairs, turning the 10 devourer eagle kings into 5 Gaint Devourer Eagle Kings that were much bigger than Alder in size. ''Alder, find an opportunity to directly swallow the Demon Apostles and postpone your side effects from your bloodline.'' At the same time, Ajax silently ordered Alder and he didn''t forget to say, ''Thank you, Alder. Thanks to you, we can get out of this troubled situation.'' ''If not for you, I would have long died, master. It''s the least I could do to repay you.'' Alder replied and paid full attention to the battlefield as he was ready to fly into the battlefield to swallow the Demon Apostles at any moment. ''Screech'' ''Screech'' The devourer eagle kings'' strength had increased from the low-level emperor realm to the mid-level emperor realm and their bloodlines and emperor souls became even more powerful after getting merged. Hence, they were able to fight the five demon apostles on equal grounds. ''Since we don''t have much time, I think it is better to kill as many of these Zeroth Order Demon Apostles as possible before that.'' Even though Ajax looked calm on the surface, he had already nned something big and was anxious because if he made a single mistake, it would cost him very much. ''Alder, let''s do it.'' After waiting for a minute, Ajax finished giving orders to his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. Once everything was settled, he was ready to signal to Alder, the strongest contracted spirit beast under him, followed by the five merged Devourer Eagle Kings and other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline, activate]. The signal was none other than Ajax''s bloodline. The moment Ajax activates the bloodline, the contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits should start executing the n. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax''s all summons felt a burst of energy in their bodies that made him want to destroy everything around them to test their strength. However, they have strict orders of what they have to do after they receive the boost from Ajax''s bloodline. ''Ding, The host has activated the [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline]. For the next one hour, all his contracted spirit beasts, elemental spirits, would receive a temporary boost of 5x in their battle prowess. Soon, the system notification came in; however, Ajax''s eyes were fully on the Demonic Spirit Beast that the Great Golden Demon Emperor had brought with him. [Mega Devour] [Ultimate Devour] On the other hand, the 11 Devourer Eagle Kings used their ultimate devouring attacks and started absorbing all the energy from the bodies of the Demon Apostles and the Great Golden Demon Emperor. ''Screech'' ''Screech'' After activating their skills from the [Emperor Grade Devour Soul], they don''t have to use their beaks to absorb the energy. Their bodies would be the natural energy mas that could absorb the energies from the targets they selected. With the boost from the Abyssal Beast God''s bloodline, the already powerful Devourer Eagle King became even more powerful as they became unstoppable. Since their emperor souls had caused a lot of disturbance for the Demon Apostles, the Devourer Eagle Kings used that as an opportunity to puncture the Demon Apostles before tossing them in their mouths. Volcanis, Ignis, Cerauno and other elemental spirits that could deal high damage already have the power to fight the low-level emperor realm cultivators without Ajax''s help and now, with the help of the 5x boost in their strength, they would try their best in defeating the high-level emperor realm cultivators like Demon Apostle. Alder was treating the zeroth order demon apostles as insects and started eating them along with the other devourer eagle kings whereas the other elemental spirits had formed teams in taking care of one Demon Apostle at a time. It was the same for the contracted spirit beasts¡­they all formed a team and targeted one or two demon apostles at a time to injure them before killing them. Twilight, the Divine Destructive Dragon hadpletely gone berserk as it attacked the Demon Apostles while ignoring the damage it was receiving. The more damage it received, the stronger it was getting and the easier it was able to kill the demon apostles. "What''s happening here?" Only the Great Golden Demon Emperor didn''t understand what was happening with the sudden change of events. ***** Chapter ?1573 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (3) ?1573 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (3) Until now, Ajax was silent and even said that he would be the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s ve. However, suddenly, all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits started attacking out of nowhere, which made Dilgin confused. ''This human¡­does he have a trump card or what?'' This was the first thought that came to the mind of the Great Golden Demon Emperor; however, in the next second another thought came to his head. ''With such powerful summons and the bloodline, why did he not put up a fight from the beginning?'' Even though the Great Golden Demon Emperor was surprised by how powerful Ajax and his summons were, he still didn''t understand why Ajax went with the duel with the Demon Apostle. If Ajax put up a fight with him from the beginning, the Great Golden Demon Emperor would have already killed Ajax''s summons except for the Divine Dragon before turning Ajax into his ve. However, Ajax got such a powerful bloodline and summons but he still waited until now to make a move against him. That''s what made the Great Golden Demon Emperor feel that something was not right. ''What the ... .his summons have already killed more than 30 Demon Apostles.'' While the Great Golden Demon Emperor was thinking about why Ajax waited until now to fight against him, he saw that his Zeroth Order Demon Apostles were getting killed at an incredible pace. "Brat, you have sessfully made me angry and now, face the consequences." No matter how calm the Great Golden Demon Emperor was until now, he was unable to endure the fact that his personal and the strongest army, [The Zeroth Order Demon Apostles] were getting killed right in front of his eyes. He had spent countless resources to nurture a single Zeroth Order Demon Apostles and now, Ajax''s summons, especially the Devour Eagle Kings have killed 30 of them. Hence, the Great Golden Demon Emperor didn''t want to sit anymore and decided to teach Ajax a lesson. "Once I kill all your summons, then you are nothing. At that time, bing my ve is your only option." Dilgin was furious; however, even in that situation, he didn''t forget that he wanted Ajax alive. Moreover, he decided to use the death of his summons as a lesson to teach Ajax what happens to the cultivators that go against him, the Great Golden Demon Emperor. "Goldie, go and take care of those puny elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts." The Great Golden Demon Emperor ordered his favourite contracted spirit beast while he looked at the 6 mid-level emperor realm Devourer Eagle Kings. Currently, all his Demon Apostles were unable to use their battle prowess thanks to the Devouring Souls that the 6 Devourer Eagle Kings that were sucking their energies. Among Ajax''s all summons, the Devourer Eagle Kings were the main damage dealers as they were killing a Demon Apostle every 10 seconds. Therefore, Dilgin decided to take care of those Devourer Eagle Kings that Ajax was so proud of. ''Without those Devourer Eagle Kings, you can''t even kill a single Demon Apostle.'' ''Roar'' With that thought in mind, Dilgin was ready to attack the Devourer Eagle Kings; however, in the next second, he saw that his favourite beasts were flying away from the world. "What is it doing? Didn''t I just order it to take care of the Elemental Spirits?" Dilgin frowned and in the next second, he realized something when he felt a slight pain in his dantian. ''T¡­the¡­connection I have with it ... .is severed ... .How did it happen?'' With a shocked look on his face, the Great Golden Demon Emperor looked at Ajax in the distance who was smiling from ear to ear. "You brat¡­how dare you mess my contract with my Goldie?" Now, the Great Golden Demon Emperor had suddenly lost it as he looked at Ajax furiously. "Rumble" Dilgin''s favourite mount''s strength was the mid-level emperor realm and was only an inch away from bing a high-level emperor beast. Despite that, it was much more powerful than a single Zeroth Order Demon Apostle thanks to the resources that Dilgin has spent on it to awaken a powerful bloodline, powerful skills,ws, and soul. However, the moment the contract between the demonic beast and Dilgin was severed by Ajax''s title [The Contract Breaker], it wanted to escape from Dilgin. ''Kacha'' With its speed, it only took less than 20 seconds to reach the outer space of the world and collided with the barrier that the Great Golden Demon Emperor had created after entering the world. The moment it collided with the barrier, there was a small crack in the barrier before the Demonic Spirit Beast was sted back. ''Boom'' ''Kacha'' However, the demonic spirit beast didn''t stop as it continued to ram at a single ce a few more times before creating a huge hole in it. "B*stard¡­don''t let me find you again after I be a high-level emperor realm beast. At that time, I won''t be the one to run away. It will be you." After exiting the barrier through the hole it created, the demonic spirit beast turned around and scoffed at the Great Golden Demon Emperor. "Human, if you can survive today, I will repay you one day. Don''t worry about finding me, I wille back to you after I finish some things. I just hope you can survive today." At the same time, the Demonic Spirit Beast didn''t forget to thank Ajax because, without Ajax, it would have continued to be a ve under the so-called Great Golden Demon Emperor. "Also, since I have already made a hole in the barrier, you can use it to escape. As long as you are alive, you can take revenge on that b*stard and even I will help you with itpletely free of charge." "Now, I am gettingte¡­it will leave now." After saying those words, the Demonic Spirit Beast disappeared into space without leaving behind any trae. "What just happened now?" On the other hand, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was still in shock as he looked at the hole in the barrier he had created, with an unbelievable look on his face. Chapter ?1574 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (4) ?1574 Ajax versus the Great Golden Demon Emperor (4) The Demonic Spirit Beast that he had formed a contract with half a century back had left him after calling him a ''B*stard''. How could he, the Great Golden Demon Emperor, take it? He had spent countless resources and helped it increase its strength from a regr rank 3 Demonic Spirit Beast to rank 8 which was an Emperor realm. And now, it left him just like that, making Dilgin both sad and angry. "I no longer want you as my ve¡­I am going to tear you into 10000 pieces and feed my Demon Apostles." ''Demonic God''s Knight Set'' With a thought, his entire body was covered in a ckish Gold-coloured armour set with a golden sword and shield. Currently, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was so furious that he was not even willing to think about the benefits that Ajax could bring him. All he wanted to do right now was to kill Ajax and his summons except for the Divine Destructive Dragon which he could use to fulfil the prophecy. ''...'' On the other hand, even Ajax was surprised by the actions of the Demonic Spirit Beast. Even though he helped it remove the demon emperor''s imprint from its spirit consciousness, he didn''t expect the beast to call the Great Golden Demon Emperor a ''B*stard''. "If you think you can kill me, you are only dreaming. Wake and see what''s really happening around us." Nevertheless, seeing that Dilgin became serious, Ajax also turned serious as he scoffed at the Great Golden Demon Emperor, asking him to check his surroundings first. ''Screech'' ''Gulp'' His Demon Apostles were being killed at a pace much faster than before and the Devourer Eagle Kings that were devouring the Demon Apostles were only bing stronger with each Demon Apostle they consumed. However, that''s not the important thing that Ajax asked the Demon Emperor to check; instead, it was something else. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' The entire world seemed to be rumbling as cracks appeared everywhere on the ground. "What''s happening? What did you do?" Looking at the smile on Ajax''s face, the Great Golden Demon Emperor knew that the culprit behind the rumbling and the cracks on the ground was because of Ajax. "If you don''t leave this world, you will die with it." As soon as he said those words, Ajax called for his new sword, ''Soulsher,e out.'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the peak legendary-grade sword appeared in Ajax''s hand. ''Sword Dao, activate.'' "Let''s see how much damage I can do with my new weapon." Without wasting any time and without giving any time for the Great Golden Demon Emperor to react, Ajax released a huge transparent sword wave at Dilgin. ording to the information that Ajax had on the Soulsher, it could even injure those who were above the Emperor Realm which was called the Demi-God realm. Moreover, using the power of his Sword Dao along with the Soulsher, Ajax was curious about the damage dealt by it. ''Swoosh'' "Do you think that a single sword wave could do anything to me? Stop joking." Even though the Great Golden Demon Emperor said those words, he silently activated all his defensive skills along with the Emperor Grade Defensive Soul. ''This world will be destroyed?'' At the same time, he thought about Ajax''s earlier and became a little anxious. "Boom" Soon, the huge sword wave sessfully collided with the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s armoured body and a huge explosion urred. "See¡­this won''t do anything to me." After the dust settled, Dilgin felt perfectly alright without any cuts or even scratches to his body as he mocked Ajax, "Is this what you are capable and proud of? It didn''t even leave a scratch on me." ''Huh?'' However, in the next second, he noticed that Ajax was not in the ce where he was standing earlier and hurriedly checked his surroundings. "Where are his other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits?" Except for the 6 mid-level emperor realm devourer eagle kings, there waspletely no trace of Ajax and his other summons, making the Great Golden Demon Emperor frown. ''Alder, it''s time to leave the world.'' On the other hand, Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Kings received Ajax''s order to leave the world. ''Screech'' The moment they received the order, even though the Devourer Eagle Kings didn''t want to leave such a good meal, they left the world without wasting a single second. Thanks to their emperor grade [Advanced elertation] and the [Ancient Roc Bloodline], their speed was so fast that in a blink of an eye, they already left the word through the hole in the barrier that was created by the Demonic Spirit Beast. "Damn you¡­b*stard." After realizing that he was just fooled by Ajax with his earlier attack, the Great Golden Demon Emperor cursed Ajax out loud. ''Before I torture that brat, I have to leave this world first.'' Dilgin knew that he had to be alive in order to do what he was nning to do to Ajax. Hence, he ordered his Zeroth Order Demon Apostles, "Everyone, leave this world as soon as possible. This world will be destroyed at any moment now." Of course, he didn''t forget about the Demon Apostles. After the continuous massacre and devouring of the Devourer Eagle Kings, the original 1000 members of the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles were left with a little more than 500 men. Even though the losses this time were huge, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was not worried too much about it as he could always create another Zeroth Order Army with 10000 men in it. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean he was willing to leave behind his 500 Zeroth Order Demon Apostles just like it. ''If they could survive the explosion created by a normal demon world, then they would be even more powerful.'' This was the thought in Dilgin''s head as he summoned two huge golden-coloured wings on his back as he shot in the direction of the hole in the barrier. Behind him, the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles were followed; however, their speed was much lower than Dilgin''s. ''Boom'' Just as Dilgin reached the hole in the barrier, the entire world exploded, creating a huge explosion. Chapter 1575 Ready to Breakthrough 1575 Ready to Breakthrough ''Did that explosion kill him?'' In a normal demon world, Ajax looked at the huge explosion in space and silently thought in his head. ''Also, why didn''t the sword wave released by the Soulsher didn''t affect the Great Golden Demon Emperor in any way?'' Earlier, when Ajax used the soul sher, he was not expecting to kill Dilgin in a single go; however, he had expected to injure Dilgin''s soul even by a little to satisfy himself. However, when he left the barrier, Ajax saw that the Great Golden Demon Emperor was perfectly fine. ''Ding, The Soulsher needs toe into contact with the enemy''s body to do some damage to the soul of that enemy. To Ajax''s question, the system answered, making him nod his head in understanding. ''From the next time, I will do that.'' Since Ajax was no longer in any danger, he didn''t have to spend his mental power to use the Soulsher anymore. "Master, should I take care of this world?" As Ajax was thinking about some things, Alder, the leader of the Devourer Eagle Kings asked Ajax whether he should kill the protectors and the guardians of the world. "There is no need for you to take the action personally." Ajax came out of his thoughts and shook his head at Alder as he continued speaking, "Alder, you and the other Devourer Eagle Kings can rest and slowly absorb the energies from the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles that you have devoured earlier." Earlier, all his Devourer Eagle kings had spent a lot of energy and even used the Bloodline with severe side effects. On the good side, these Devourer Eagle Kings were quite lucky enough to swallow nearly 500 high-level emperor realm demons which would be quite helpful for them. They just killed the demon apostles and swallowed them as whole and they were yet to absorb the energies from those bodies. Hence, not only would those high-level emperor realm demons'' bodies help them minimise their side effects but the energy from those bodies would also help the Devourer Eagle King improve their strength by arge margin. "Okay, master." Alder nodded his head as he informed, "Master, it would take quite a long time for me and the other devourer eagle kings to absorb those bodies. Especially for me, I have swallowed more than 200 bodies alone." "You are truly the King of Glutton." For a moment, Ajax was quite shocked by Alder''s ability to swallow 200 Demon Apostles into its stomach. "I think it is better for us to go to the floating ind again because I estimate it would take at least five years for me topletely extract the demonic energy from their bodies and convert it into pure energy for me to absorb." Alder was proud when it heard Ajax''s words as it continued to exin, "Also, even though the other devourer eagle kings swallowed fewer demon apostles than me, their extraction, conversion and absorption speed is far less than me." "In short, it would take them the same time as me. So, if we can enter the Floating Ind, I am sure that all 11 of us will be high-level emperor realm beasts for sure in just a week." Alder suggested the fastest way for the devourer eagle kings to be stronger was by entering Floating Ind. "I know that." Ajax agreed with Alder''s words as he replied, "However, the Floating Ind will open only after 20 days. Until then, we could only wait." "It''s alright, master. We can only enter the Floating Ind whenever it opens." After that, Alder and the other devourer eagle king found a spacious ce to settle and started extracting the demonic energy from the Demon Apostles'' bodies. "Twilight, you are still not satisfied with the earlier fight, right? Go and vent all you want in this world." Earlier, Ajax used the Divine Destructive Dragon to fly away from that normal demon world. Hence, it didn''t get to kill many Demon Apostles. So, Ajax asked it to vent its anger on this new normal demon world. ''Roar'' In the next second, the little young boy in the purple robes turned into a gigantic dragon and flew into the distance. "As for others, you can take a rest now." Even though Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits did not contribute even 10 percent of what the Devourer Eagle Kings had contributed, they still fought and killed more than a dozen demon apostles with their king realm strength. Hence, Ajax wanted them to take some rest as he wanted to n things once again. "Encountering the Great Golden Demon Emperor was not in my ns but not only did I encounter him but I also killed him." Since Ajax didn''t see any trace of the Great Golden Demon Emperor or his leftover Demon Apostles after the explosion, Ajax came to the conclusion that he killed Dilgin. "At the same time, I have collected enough normal world cores to merge into a Greater World Core." With a thought, 10 normal world cores appeared in front of Ajax as he said, "Merge". Soon, the 10 normal world cores came closer and merged into a giant world core. ''Ding, The host has sessfully merged 10 normal world cores into a Greater World Core. ''Ding, The host has fulfilled all the requirements to break through to the Emperor''s realm. Do you want to break through to the Emperor''s realm? As soon as the merging of a Greater World Core waspleted, Ajax received a couple of system notifications asking him whether he wanted to break through. "Of course, I want to break through to the Emperor realm. I have been waiting for this day for a while now." There was nothing much left for Ajax to think about his breakthrough because currently, the only thing on his mind was to be an Emperor realm cultivator and start taking his revenge while finding the mythical grade healing treasures that could revive Snow. After that, he had a ton of things toplete; however, with his emperor realm cultivation, it won''t take much time for him toplete those things. Chapter ?1576 Emperor Realm Cultivation ?1576 Emperor Realm Cultivation ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing an Emperor Realm Cultivator. ''Ding, The unknown bloodline sealed in the host''s body will be unlocked in a few minutes. After using the Greater World Core, Ajax''s cultivation has sessfully broken through to the Emperor Realm as he received a congrattory notification from the system. Not only did he break through the emperor realm but the bloodline that Ajax found out about through his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror will be unlocked soon. ''I wonder what type of bloodline it will be.'' It was the bloodline that was supposed to awaken after he drank the King-level Bloodline Potion his master had given. However, when he drank it, Ajax was unable to awaken it and ording to his master Mostror, the bloodline seemed to be a very powerful one. A bloodline that was so powerful that Ajax''s body won''t be able to endure the pressure from it. Hence, it was not fully unlocked and the system said that it would be automatically unlocked when Ajax reached the Emperor Realm. Since Ajax had reached the Emperor Realm, both his physical body and mind were much stronger than before and could bear the pressure from his new bloodline. ''I feel full of energy and now, I am fully confident in killing the Great Golden Demon Emperor with my bloodline and other trump cards.'' Even though it was only a single grade, the strength of a King Realm Cultivator and an Emperor Realm Cultivator is worlds apart. Of course, Ajax and his elemental spirits along with the contracted spirit beasts were able to cross-kill with the boost from Ajax''s bloodline and other factors. Currently, as an Emperor Realm Cultivator, Ajax felt full of energy and wanted to test his strength; however, there was no powerful enemy to test his strength on. ''Wait a second¡­with my current strength, I can go and take care of the other four Great Demon Emperors?'' In this universe, as far as Ajax knew, there were only five Great Demon Emperors. They are: 1) Great Golden Demon Emperor, Dilgin, the richest demon among the five Great Demon Emperors. 2) Great Void Demon Emperor, Jazzan, the most mysterious demon. 3) Great Primordial Demon Emperor, Brokas, the strongest physical demon. 4) Great Nether Demon Emperor, a cunning demon. 5) Great Astral Demon, a demon that was said to have the ability tomunicate with the God-level cultivators. Since the Great Golden Demon Emperor was dead, it leaves the universe with the four other demon emperors. And now, since Ajax was confident in his strength, he felt that he couldplete the revenge on the remaining four great Demon Emperors. ''Not only did they kill my parents but they also destroyed their bodies.'' Of course, Ajax''s parents'' bodies were destroyed because they over-used their bodies to stop the five Great Demon Emperors from invading the Purple Stone World. ''Also, not long ago, they once again sent huge numbers of demons that were led by first and second-order demon apostles to take over the Purple Stone World.'' Ajax recited the reasons for his revenge against the Great Demon Emperors. "If they tried to invade my world, then they should be ready for the same thing to happen to me, right?" Of course, in this world where strength matters, there was no particr reason to take revenge. As long as one feels that he had enough strength and the others trouble him, a cultivator would be ready to go to any lengths to destroy those who troubled him. And Ajax was also one of them. If he didn''t have the strength to take revenge against those who messed with him or the people around him or his worlds, Ajax would increase his strength first and then take care of the revenge. ''Before that, I have other things to do.'' Even though Ajax was confident in fighting the other four great demon emperors, there was still something that was stopping Ajax. Because as the Great Demon Emperors, they might have a good number of trump cards just like the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles or even more powerful than them. ''Hence, it is better to be patient for a while and take revenge on the Golden City inside the Floating Ind.'' The main thing that Ajax was focused on right now was to take revenge on the Golden City inside the Floating Ind because once he took care of the Golden City and its leader, Ajax could search for the Mythical Grade Healing Treasures that could revive Snow. ''Since there are still 20 days for the Floating Ind to open, I should search for those healing treasures in the Greater Worlds.'' Ajax knew he could find the treasures on the Floating Ind; however, Ajax didn''t want to wait for 20 days as he wanted to try his best in searching for those treasures. If he could find those treasures, he could revive Snow much faster. ''Another important thing for me to do was to collect as many world cores as possible.'' Even though Ajax had collected enough world cores to be an Emperor Realm cultivator that doesn''t mean that the world cores were no longer of any use to him. If his assumptions were correct, Ajax still needs the Greater World Cores to increase his cultivation further. What''s more, he could also grow the World Trees along with the Soul Nurturing nt that could prolong the soul of his father. Also, Ajax had made some contracts with some powerful cultivators in the Trader''s Realm. Hence, he required the world cores for that purpose also. In short, the need for the world cores had only increased and Ajax believed that it would continue to increase even more. ''System, what are the requirements for the mid-level emperor realm cultivator?'' After every breakthrough in his cultivation, Ajax would ask the system about the requirements for his next breakthrough because his cultivation was not simr to the other cultivations. From the beginning, Ajax was following the system''s instructions regarding his cultivation and he could not change it in the middle all of sudden. Moreover, by learning the requirements of the mid-level emperor realm, Ajax could start making preparations for that from now onwards. Therefore, Ajax asked the system about the next breakthrough requirements. ''Ding, Please wait as the system is checking out the requirements for a powerful breakthrough to the mid-level emperor realm. There was no instant answer from the system; however, Ajax was not surprised much by it as he could wait for a while. ''Ding, The system has detected that the crude version of the [Blessing Refining Technique] is no longer useful to the host. ''Ding, The system suggests the host unlock the [Blessing Refining Technique] by sacrificing some additional bloodlines, cultivator''sw, King Souls and Emperor Soul to reap the maximum benefits. ''Ding, Even without the sacrifice, the host can still get some good benefits thanks to the sacrifices he made towards the [Blessing Refining Technique]. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head, making him frown for a moment; however, when he saw thest system notification, he nodded his head. Ajax''s demonic avatar has benefited a lot by unlocking the [Blessing Refining Technique] and what''s more, ording to the system, it had only received 10 percent of the actual rewards. ''Should I go all out?'' Ajax was already nning to unlock the [Blessed Refining Technique] after he breakthrough into the Emperor Realm and since the system was suggesting him to unlock it, there was no need for him to hold onto it anymore. At the same time, while looking at the second system notification, Ajax thought of something crazy and started convincing himself of doing it. ''Let''s do it. It will work out for sure.'' It took him a while before convincing himself that it was alright and everything would work out. ''It''s time to awaken some new bloodlines.'' With a thought, a pill bottle filled with the red-coloured shining pills appeared in Ajax''s hand as he tossed one of the pills into his mouth. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host has consumed the Bloodline Awakening Pills and awakened no new bloodline. That''s right! Those pills were none other than the Bloodline Awakening Pills that Ajax had refined in the Floating Ind to be a peak King Grade Alchemist or peak Alchemy King. Even though the first bloodline awakening pill didn''t help Ajax awaken a new bloodline, Ajax was not disappointed because he already knew the awakening rate of the Bloodline Awakening Pills was not high. ''I just hope that these top-level bloodline awakening pills have a much higher percentage of awakening a new bloodline.'' Ajax had personally kept the top-level bloodline awakening pills aside to consume them as he continued to swallow them one after another. ''Second one. No bloodline awakened.'' ''Third one. No bloodline awakened.'' ''Tenth one. I hope I can awaken a bloodline at least now.'' Ajax had hundreds of top-level bloodline-awakening pills with him; however, he wanted to awaken a bloodline in as few bloodline-awakening pills as possible. ''Ding, The host has consumed the Bloodline Awakening Pills and awakened a new bloodline [Azure Hawk Bloodline]. Finally, Ajax awakened a bloodline on his tenth try, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''It''s time to awaken the second bloodline with these bloodline awakening pills.'' Ajax checked the information on his newly awakening bloodline; however, it was not a powerful one and amon one. Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried too much about it as he focused on eating more bloodline awakening pills. ''Thanks to the High-level Alchemy King title, I can awaken two more bloodlines using the Bloodline Awakening Pills.'' Chapter ?1577 Mass Sacrifice ?1577 Mass Sacrifice ''I didn''t expect that by bing the high-level Alchemy king, I could evade the restrictions of the pills.'' After Ajax became a High-level Alchemy King, he received some good benefits regarding pill refinement. However, there were other benefits such as the pill restrictions on the cultivators or other consumers. Generally, some pills should be consumed by the cultivators and the consumers for limited amounts of time and the more one uses it, the less the efficiency would be. Take the Bloodline Awakening Pills as an example. A cultivator or a beast or an elemental spirit could consume them as much as they want but only one bloodline would be awakened. After awakening that bloodline, no matter how many bloodline-awakening pills they eat, there won''t be any effects. However, thanks to Ajax being a High-level Alchemy King, he could break such restrictions. ''Even though I could not evade thempletely,pared to the other consumers, I have some good privileges.'' Of course, Ajax could not awaken unlimited bloodlines by consuming the Bloodline Awakening Pills and ording to the system, he could awaken three bloodlines before the pills lose their effects on him. ''Since I already have some good and powerful bloodlines, I am not expecting much from it. Once I awaken those two bloodlines, I will sacrifice them and get a good bloodline in exchange.'' That was what Ajax nned in his head as he resumed tossing the bloodline awakening pills into his mouth. At the same time, he was waiting for his most powerful bloodline to be unlocked. Time continued to pass as Ajax tossed nearly 30 or so bloodline awakening pills and all of them were top-level. ''Ding, The host has consumed the Bloodline Awakening Pills and awakened a new bloodline [Crimson Dragon Bloodline]. Of course, Ajax didn''t even bother to check the information on the bloodline as he continued to try to awaken another bloodline through the Bloodline Awakening pills. ''Ding, The host has consumed the Bloodline Awakening Pills and awakened a new bloodline [Ancient Phoenix Bloodline]. After consuming 200 or so top-level bloodline awakening pills, Ajax had finally awakened the third bloodline, making him heave a sigh of relief. ''Since I have taken full benefits of the bloodline awakening pills, I can start giving them to my contracted spirit beasts, elemental spirits, friends and close ones.'' It was Ajax''s habit of sharing good things he had with others as he gained happiness from it. It was a habit that he developed when he was in the Orphanage. ''Moreover, I can sell them in the Trader''s Realm in exchange for the nt essence and other resources.'' Even though Ajax was using the world cores, he felt having a second item to trade with others in the Trader''s Realm was a good thing. Hence, after making sure everyone close to him awakened a bloodline, Ajax nned to clear the Bloodline Awakening Pills lying in his inner world. Among many cultivation resources, the resources that could awaken a bloodline were very rare and they were valued greatly. Moreover, a resource like Bloodline Awakening Pills which one could consume until they awaken a bloodline was a top-notch pill. Therefore, Ajax knew it had a good demand and he could satisfy their demand with his millions of pills in the inner world. ''Anyway, let''s check the information on the three new bloodlines before sacrificing them.'' With a thought, the system started generating information about his three new bloodlines. ''Ding, Bloodline: Azure Hawk Bloodline (Level 1). Grade: Heaven. Effect: Upon activation of the bloodline, two Azure Hawk''s wings will appear on his back for the next 10 minutes. During those 10 minutes, the host''s speed will be increased by two times his regr speed. Cooldown: One hour. ''Ding, Bloodline: Crimson Dragon Bloodline (Level 1). Grade: Legend. Effect: Upon activation of the bloodline, the host will transform into a huge Crimson Dragon that has its own set of skills,ws and souls for 10 minutes. Note: Depending on the host''s cultivation and the grade of his cultivation souls, he could use one of the cultivation souls rted to the Crimson Dragon''s race with the equivalent grade of his own cultivation souls. Cooldown: three hours. ''Ding, Bloodline: Ancient Phoenix Bloodline (Level 1). Grade: Legend. Effect: Upon activation of the bloodline, the host summons an Ancient Phoenix''s soul equivalent to the host''s cultivation for 10 minutes. Note: It was said that the summoned Ancient Phoenix''s soul is so powerful that it could even cross-kill one grade higher than its cultivation. Cooldown: One day. ¡­ ''Other than the [Azure Hawk Bloodline], the remaining two bloodlines were top-notch.'' Ajax read the information about all the bloodlines as he continued, ''If not for my already powerful bloodlines like [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline] and [Undying Dragon God''s Bloodline], I would have been over the moon to awaken these two bloodlines.'' Currently, the three newly awakened bloodlines were only at level 1 and Ajax knew how powerful they could be in the future. However, still, they didn''t excite Ajax much thanks to his other bloodlines. "Even though they are good, I am looking forward to a more powerful bloodline." With that thought in mind, Ajax ordered the system, ''System, sacrifice all my bloodline except for the [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline] towards the [Blessed Refining Technique]'' Among all the requirements of Sacrifices towards the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], Ajax had overfilled only two of them. They are: 1) The killings of his enemies, the more powerful they were, the more returns he would get. 2) The essence of nature. Until now, he had sacrificed billions of units of the essence of nature if not a trillion units. Hence, Ajax felt that he should increase the sacrifices he had to make to the other requirements and bloodline was one of them. Therefore, Ajax decided to sacrifice all the bloodlines other than the two most powerful bloodlines. Without a doubt, the [Abyssal Beast God Bloodline] was his most powerful bloodline whereas the other bloodline, Ajax didn''t even know its name yet. However, he was sure about one thing and it was a most powerful bloodline that he would be awakening because it required a body of an Emperor realm cultivator just to awaken itself. Hence, there was no doubt in that bloodline was the most powerful one among all the bloodlines he had seen so far. ''Ding, Other than the [Abyssal Beast God Bloodline] and the other unknown bloodline that was yet to awaken fully, the host''s all other bloodlines would be sacrificed towards the [Blessed Refining Technique]. ''Ding, Are you sure about it? Soon, the system asked him whether he was sure about his decision because once a bloodline is sacrificed, it would not be taken back. ''I am sure about it. Go ahead and sacrifice them toward that cultivation technique.'' Ajax didn''t think much about it as he was looking forward to the new bloodline he would be getting in exchange for that made bloodline he had sacrificed. ''Ding, The bloodlines, [Azure Hawk Bloodline] and five other bloodlines were sacrificed towards the [Blessed Refining Technique]. Soon, Ajax felt a little weak as all the bloodlines except for the two he had awakened so far had been sacrificed. ''Since I decided to put all my trust in the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], I think I should just go all out and sacrifice everything.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax thought of another thing. Once he unlocked the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], Ajax don''t have a need for the [Heaven and Earth Refining Cultivation Technique] or the [Mysterious Spirit Cultivation Technique]. As for the skills and cultivationws, and souls, Ajax felt the same. ''From my observations of what my Demonic Avatar had received from the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], I will be getting a much better skill and the cultivationw and soul.'' This was what Ajax thought as he muttered, ''Even if I don''t take some top-level skills or souls in return, I can always awaken them back and all it takes is one week and I can get them back to the Emperor Realm.'' Thanks to the appearance of the Floating Ind, Ajax''s risk appetite had increased so much that he was even willing to sacrifice all his skills, cultivationws, souls and cultivation techniques. ''System, do the same with all my Cultivation Techniques, Cultivation Laws and Souls except for [Orb of Death] and all the skills.'' Once he thought like that, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly ordered the system about it because he was afraid that he might change his mind. ''Ding, The cultivation techniques like Heaven and Earth Refining Cultivation Technique, and Mysterious Spirit Cultivation technique will be sacrificed. ''Ding, Skills like Multiple Shadow Clones, Absolute Darkness, Corpse Refinement, Fire ze and a few other skills will be sacrificed. ''Ding, Cultivation skills and souls like Fire Devour, Heaven''s Lightning, Vision of Poison, Void of the Nether, Dream Realm and a few others except for the [Orb of the Death] will be sacrificed. ''Ding, Are you sure about all those sacrifices? As soon as he ordered the system, it showed a list of everything that Ajax wanted to be sacrificed and asked him for the final confirmation. "Yes," Ajax kept the Demonic Cultivator''s Soul the [Orb of the Death] aside because, with it, Ajax could revive anyone with some limitations. He was nning to increase its level soon by entering into the Jade Pool. At that time, even if his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirit were identally killed by someone, he could revive them. ''Ding, All the above-mentioned skills, cultivation techniques,ws and souls are sacrificed. ''Ding, The host has unlocked the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] and received the following benefits. Chapter ?1578 Divine Rules ?1578 Divine Rules ''Ding, The host has unlocked the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] and received the following benefits. ''Ding, 1) Main Cultivation Technique: Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens. 2) Side Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm, Celestial Void Step. 3) Weapon Cultivation Technique: Thousand des Torrent 4) Skills: Absolute Void Prison, Celestial Replication. 5) Divine Rule: Thunder (1 percent). 6) Evolution of the Spirit Consciousness into Divine Consciousness. 7) Bloodline: Divine Astralwalker Bloodline. As soon as Ajax unlocked the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], he received seven benefits from it. ''Just from the names alone, they sound very powerful. Let''s check what type of effects they have in detail.'' From now on, Ajax would be using these things to fight against his enemies and hence it was required for Ajax to know about them in detail. Hence, he started checking them in detail as the system projected the information on his new cultivation techniques, skills, bloodline and Divine Rule. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique Name: Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens. Cultivation Grade: God-level. Effects: By circting this cultivation technique, the cultivator can absorb the Divine Essence of Nature into his Divine Consciousness. First Heaven: Locked. Second Heaven: Locked. Third Heaven: Locked. . . . Ninth Heaven: Locked. More Information: Whenever the cultivation circtes this cultivation in the different heavens, a new effect will be unlocked. ''A God-level Cultivation Technique? As expected for the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique.'' Even though Ajax didn''t understand most of the information projected by the system, he knew about one thing and it was powerful. ''System, where are the nine heavens? And how can I enter them?'' Since he could unlock a new effect by entering and circting the cultivation technique in those heavens, Ajax wanted to enter them. ''Ding, The nine heavens are in the Heavenly Realm and the system could not give more information about it. ''Ding, The host has to figure out about the Heavenly Realm on his own. The system didn''t give much information, making Ajax shake his head in disappointment. Nevertheless, he was already used to such replies from the system. ''Heavenly Realm¡­I wonder whether my master has any information about it.'' Other than the system, Ajax could rely on his master for such information as he wondered about whether he knew about the Heavenly Realm. ''Anyway, it''s been a while since I saw him. I think I should go and meet up with him.'' Soon, Ajax put away those thoughts in his head as he continued to check about the benefits he got from the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm (Level 1). Cultivation Grade: Demi-God level. Effect: With a gentle push of his palm, the enemy could feel like he was struck by a Heavenly Thunderstrike. Additional Effect: The opponent will be stunned for one second to five seconds depending on the strength of the opponent. ''Hm¡­I never used a palm cultivation technique and the effect seems cool.'' After seeing a God-level cultivation technique, Ajax was not surprised much by the Demi-God-level cultivation technique. ''However, what piques my interest was the [Additional Effect]. As long as I cannd a perfect attack, I can stun them for at least one second.'' Ajax was looking forward to using it in his fights against the Great Demon Emperors and the Golden City in the Floating Ind. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique: Celestial Void Step (Level 1). Cultivation Grade: Demi-God Level. Effect: The cultivator can travel anywhere within a radius of one kilometer with a single step. ''This might be the upgraded version of my Lightning Cloud Steps.'' Compared to the Lightning Cloud Steps, the current Celestial Void Step didn''t seem very great; however, Ajax knew his new cultivation technique was still at level 1 and has a lot of potential in it. ''Since it is a Demi-God Level, it will definitely reach a level where I could travel to a different world with a single step.'' Moreover, during the fights, Ajax didn''t need to travel much and all he needed was to be agile in dodging and confusing his enemies. Hence, Ajax didn''t feel that his sacrifice was not in vain. ''So far, the main cultivation technique and two side cultivation techniques are quite good and it was totally worth it.'' Ajax was basically replenishing his old low-grade cultivation techniques with high-grade cultivation techniques. Therefore, he was thoroughly satisfied with the exchange he had with the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]. ''It''s just the beginning and there are still many new things to check.'' With that thought, Ajax checked the weapon cultivation technique. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique: Thousand des Torrent (level 1). Grade: Demi-God-Level. Effect: By releasing ten sword waves, the cultivator could activate a thousand des torrents that could sweep all enemies. ''A thousand de torrent can be created with just 10 sword waves¡­.it''s not bad.'' Ajax was not too excited with the cultivation technique and at the same time, he didn''t take it lightly as he knew it would be powerful if used properly. After checking the cultivation techniques, Ajax looked at the first skill that seemed simr to his Absolute Void Darkness. Nevertheless, Ajax knew the new skill would be more powerful and high-levelpared to the Absolute Void Darkness. ''Ding, Skill Name: Absolute Void Prison (Level 1). Grade: Demi-God-Level. Effect: As long as the cultivator ces his hands on the head of his enemy for at least three seconds, the enemy will be captured in a special space prison where he would experience terrible nightmares. Note: The stronger the enemy, the longer the cultivator has to ce his hands on the enemy''s head. There was only one effect; however, Ajax could tell it was powerful and he could use it very well in solo fights. In solo fights where his opponents were much stronger, Ajax could find many ways to ce his hands on the enemy''s head for 3 seconds. After that, the so-called powerful enemy would be imprisoned in the Void Prison where he would be taunted by his inner demons in the form of Nightmares. ''This skill is the upgraded version of the Absolute Void Darkness against the solo enemies; however, it ispletely useless in the group fight.'' After reading the information about the skill, Ajax was a little disappointed because he could not fight multiple stronger enemies with it. Previously, when Ajax had the skill [Absolute Void Darkness], he could send more than a dozen enemies to sleep while creating deadly nightmares for them. However, the new skill [Absolute Void Prison] didn''t have such an effect, making him a little disappointed. ''I hope there will be more new effects if I upgrade its levels.'' In the beginning, the [Absolute Void Darkness] was not very powerful; however, with time, it slowly became a powerful skill. Hence, Ajax could only hope that the same thing would happen to the [Absolute Void Prison]. With that thought, Ajax checked out his second skill which seemed majestic just from its name alone. ''Ding, Skill Name: Celestial Replication (Level 1). Grade: Demi-God-Level. Effect: Whether it was a skill, a cultivationw, a soul or even a bloodline, the cultivator could temporarily replicate them for 10 minutes. Note: The replicated skill,w, soul or even bloodline will have the same level as the original one. ''What?'' For a moment, Ajax was shocked as he suppressed it and thought with an excited smile on his face, ''Isn''t this what I expected from the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]?'' Not only was he capable of replicating but he was capable of replicating the level of others. However, it was only at level 1 and in the future when he upgraded it to the higher levels, it would be even more powerful. With such thoughts in mind, Ajax could not help but be excited. ''Now, it is time to check about the divine rule.'' It was not Ajax''s first time hearing about the words ''Divine Rules'' because the system had mentioned that it would reward him with a Divine Rule if he could revive Snow. However, when he asked the system about it, it didn''t reply but now, Ajax felt it was time for him to learn about these so-called Divine Rules. ''Since I already have a Divine Rule now, it should exin to me about them, right?'' Ajax was confident that the system would definitely exin the Divine Rules as he asked the system about it. ''Ding, When the cultivator truly starts his cultivation journey, they start learning the cultivationws. These cultivationws will be slowly transformed into King Souls and then Emperor Souls. Soon, the system started replying to Ajax''s question as he read the system notifications with full attention. ''Ding, After the Emperor Souls, the cultivators will sacrifice them in order to increase the chances of awakening a Divine Rule. In short, a Divine Rule is the epitome of a cultivator''sw. ''Ding, The more Emperor Souls and the more powerful the Emperor Souls that the cultivator sacrifices to the heavens, the higher his chances of awakening a Divine Rule and a Powerful Divine Rule. ''Ding, The awakened Divine Rule will have a higher percentage if a cultivator sacrifices high-level emperor souls. ''What? Sacrificing as many Emperor Souls as possible to get a single Divine Rule? Isn''t it simr to what I did to the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique]?'' As Ajax read each system notification carefully, he was shocked and at the same time, he got some questions as he asked the system, ''System, how can a cultivator sacrifice the Emperor Souls to the Heavens? Will the Emperor realm cultivator will get the speical attention of Heavens and couldmunicate with it?'' Even though Ajax''s questions sounded silly, they were his genuine questions and was expecting some good answers from the system. Chapter ?1579 Divine Rule: Thunder ?1579 Divine Rule: Thunder The reason why Ajax was able to sacrifice his skills, souls,w and bloodline was thanks to the system and what''s more, he sacrificed them to the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique] and not to the heavens. Hence, Ajax was curious about how an emperor realm cultivator could do it as everyone didn''t have a system like him. ''Ding, When a cultivator reaches the peak emperor realm, many things about the universe that he failed to see before would be unlocked. ''Ding, The answers to your questions are inside those secrets that would be revealed after a cultivator reaches the peak emperor realm. The system didn''t answer Ajax''s questionspletely; instead, it gave him a hint and a method on how to get answers to his questions. ''I short, the system asked him to be a peak emperor realm cultivator to find out the answers to those questions on my own.'' Ajax was not surprised by the system''s words as he had already gotten used to its way of talking. ''Anyway, let''s check out my first Divine Rule and what its exact uses are.'' The system exined how Divine Rules can be awakened and created a lot of excitement for Ajax. Hence, without wasting any time, Ajax hurriedly checked out the information on his first Divine Rule. Also, he was curious about how he could use the [Divine Rules]. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Thunder (1 percent). Effect: 1) Damage from the attacks rted to thunder will be reduced by 1 percent and the cultivator will bepletely immune to the first thunder or lightning attack. 2) The attack power of all the thunder/ lightning-type skills,ws, and souls will be increased by 1 percent. Skills Unlocked: Lightning Maniption (Demi-God Level). Lightning Maniption: The cultivator can summon and control bolts of lightning, directing them towards enemies or using them for various purposes. They can unleash lightning strikes that can electrify opponents, cause massive destruction, or even imbue weapons with electric energy. Note: 1) All the skills unlocked under a Divine Rule will be at Demi-God-Level. 2) When the Divine Rule reaches 100 percent, all the unlocked skills will be upgraded to God Level. More Information: The cultivator who possesses the Thunder Rule skill can tap into the primal forces of thunder and lightning. They have the ability to generate, manipte, and control electricity and thunderstorms to their advantage. Soon, the system projected a huge amount of information about his first Divine Rule in front of him. While reading it, Ajax''s previous excitement about a Divine Rule disappeared; however, as he continued to read, he became more and more excited and in the end, he had a smile on his face. ''Currently, the awakened percentage of the Divine Rule is only at 1 percent and that''s why the first two effects of the Divine Rule didn''t seem very powerful.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax analysed the Divine Rule as he continued, ''However, if I can increase it to 100 percent, then what? Won''t it be very powerful?'' ''Moreover, there is already one Demi-God-Level skill unlocked under that Divine Rule and ording to the system, more and more skills would be unlocked as the percentage of awakening for the Divine Rule increases.'' Ajax came to the main thing that excited him about the Divine Rule, ''In the future when the percentage of awakening reaches 100 percent, then all the unlocked skills will be God-level skills.'' Just to get two Demi-God-Level skills, Ajax had sacrificed a lot of skills and now, he would be getting more and more Demi-God-Level skills. So, of course, he was excited about it and asked the system, ''By the way, how can I increase the percentage of awakening for the Divine Rules?'' The main problem for Ajax was how to increase that so-called percentage of awakening. ''Ding, There are many ways to increase the percentage of awakening for the Divine Rules; however, it is the host''s duty to find those ways. The system''s reply was just as cold as ever as it directly asked him to find out the ways on his own. ''System, you¡­.'' ''Ding, However, the system will reveal one of the ways to increase the percent of awakening. Before Ajax could say anything, the system sent another notification that made Ajax stop saying whatever he was nning to say and waited for the method to increase the percent of awakening for the Divine Rule. ''Ding, The host can use the Greater World Cores to increase the percentage of the awakening for the Divine Rules. Soon, the system didn''t keep Ajax in suspense for long before revealing one of the ways. ''What? I can use the Greater World Cores. Isn''t it very costly?'' For a moment, Ajax felt it was costly; however, upon realizing the benefits of the Divine Rules, he felt it was not as costly as he imagined. ''As for whether it was costly or not, I can onlye to a proper answer after I use a Greater World Core to see how much percentage of awakening the Divine Rule will be increased.'' Even though Ajax felt it was not as costly as he imagined, he knew that he could only get the correct answer to that question when he used the Greater World Core. Because the system did not answer exactly how much percentage of awakening would be increased in the Divine Rule by using the Greater World Cores. ''Currently, I only have three smaller world cores and I still need to fulfil my contracts with the cultivators from the Trader''s Realm. Hence, I can''t use the World Cores on other things except for that.'' Ajax had already epted the gifts from those high-level emperor realm cultivators and it won''t be a good thing to go back on his word. Moreover, even if he wanted to go back, the Trader''s realm would punish him severely for not fulfilling the contract. Hence, Ajax didn''t have much choice other than fulfilling the contracts with the cultivators in the Trader''s realm. ''Let''s calcte exactly how many world cores I need for fulfilling the contracts in the Trader''s realm.'' With a thought, Ajax kept his thoughts about the Divine Rule away and started calcting the required world cores. ''One smaller world core for the auction hall in the low-level trader''s realm.'' ''Two smaller world cores and a normal world core for the auction hall in the mid-level trader''s realm.'' ''Five smaller world cores and three normal world cores for the auction hall in the high-level trader''s realm.'' First, Ajax calcted the world cores he had promised to send every month to the managers of the auction halls in the three levels of the Trader''s realm. For the auction halls alone, Ajax required a total of 8 smaller world cores and four normal world cores. ''Other than this, the one-time transaction with the five elemental human emperors in which I have already given one smaller world core and I still need to give four smaller world cores over the span of four months.'' Ajax thought of the five human elemental emperors who exchanged their monthly entry to the floating Ind with him for a smaller world core. Even though he had a lot of time, he decided to just clear the debt between him and the elemental emperors and after that, he would casually enter the Floating Ind for the next four months. ''After four months, if I want to enter the Floating Ind again, I can just use a smaller world core and enter it.'' Ajax was not worried too much about entering the Floating Ind as he continued to think about his contracts with the powerful individual cultivation in the Trader''s realm. ''Nightmare Fiend, Jade Dragon, Blood Vampire, they were generous with their gifts and I already decided to surprise them with the Normal World Cores instead of the Smaller World Cores.'' Ajax wanted to have a good rtionship with the three bigshots and had nned to gift them with Normal World Cores because he believed that with the help of these three bigshots, Ajax could collect the required items like nt essence or the treasures that could revive Snow. Hence, Ajax decided to give them the Normal World Core. ''Adding together, I need seven normal world cores and 12 smaller world cores.'' Ajax wrapped up his calctions for the required world cores to settle everything in the Trader''s realm. ''As long as I put some effort into collecting the world cores it won''t take much time to collect them.'' Ajax felt he could collect them in no time because there are still more than half of the Devourer Eagle Kings that were yet to use their ability to open the portals to the normal worlds. ''I should collect all the world cores from the worlds that the Devourer Eagle Kings could open their portals to.'' After waiting for an hour, Ajax asked one of the Devourer Eagle Kings to open the portal to the nearest Normal World. During the past hour, Twilight and a few other elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts went into destructive mode and killed all the demons in the world. Currently, Ajax could extract the world core at any time he wanted; however, he was not in a hurry to do it. The reason was simple, he wanted a base where he and his summons could rest while conquering and destroying all the normal worlds around this normal world. That''s why Ajax didn''t destroy the world yet and asked one of the Devourer Eagle Kings to open the portal to one of the surrounding normal worlds around that world. Chapter ?1580 Winged Golden Demon Emperor ?1580 Winged Golden Demon Emperor Once Ajax made up his mind, he didn''t waste any time as he started working on conquering all the Normal Demon Worlds around him. Soon, he ordered the Devourer Eagle Kings that were yet to use this ability [Portal Creation] and sent some of his selected summons. Since the Great Golden Demon Emperor had died, Ajax was no longer worried about anything as he started destroying multiple Normal Worlds at once. ¡­. In the Greater Golden Demon World, ''The Great Golden Demon Emperor''s life pearl has been destroyed.'' The minister of the Great Golden Demon Emperor went into the huge pce belonging to his majesty on some work and noticed that the pearl hovering above the throne had fallen to the ground and already turned into pieces. ''Does that mean the Great Golden Demon Emperor had died?'' The winged golden demon emperor was shocked for a moment; however, soon, the greed he was hiding deep inside his heart had finallye out. ''It looks like the perfect opportunity to be the Ruler of this Golden Demon Territory.'' With an excited look on his face, the winged golden demon emperor started nning about it. Since he was the minister and the second most powerful and influential golden demon in the Golden Demon Territory, he knew that he didn''t have to work too much about bing the Great Golden Demon Emperor. Nevertheless, he didn''t want to take any chances because it was his lifelong dream. ''I knew this day woulde; however, I didn''t expect it to arrive this early.'' As a minister under the Great Golden Demon Emperor, it was his duty to take care of all the things in the territory and at the same time, his other main duty was to give suggestions to the Great Golden Demon Emperor. However, the Great Golden Demon Emperor had never listened to the minister''s speech, making the winged golden demon emperor angry. Nevertheless, he was sure about one thing because, with the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s thoughts and ideas, it would die sooner orter. ''Also, why does he care so much about the prophecy from ancient times? Does he need a Divine Dragon to be the leader of all the Demon Emperors? Then what will he do?'' The winged golden demon emperor scoffed at the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s actions and thoughts as he continued, ''If he wanted to be one, he should rely on his strength and intelligence and not on a Divine Dragon.'' ''Just like this b*stard, the other four Great Demon Emperors were also fools and believed the prophecy.'' The winged golden demon emperor was not a privileged demon from birth. He had endured many difficulties and survived many life-and-death situations to be what he was today. Hence, he didn''t believe or rely too much on fate or prophecy because he believed that as long as one works hard enough, he could achieve whatever he wants to achieve. ''Just wait, I will show you how I will take over the five demon territories in this universe and create a New Demon Emperor under my rule even without the help of a Divine Dragon.'' Since there was no longer the Great Golden Demon Emperor, the winged golden demon emperor felt that his time had finallye. Hence, he wanted to prove himself to the entire universe by merging the five demon territories into a separate universe from the existing universe. "It''s time to check the armies and their numbers before making the necessary changes ording to my n." Even though he believed that one needed strength to conquer the other territories, he didn''t want to use the resources that were in his hand. Therefore, he decided to check the armies and make the changes ording to what he feels is right. ''But before that, I think I should do something about the young man with the divine dragon.'' Just as he was about to start working on his n, the winged golden demon emperor stopped in his steps. Because he received the information from some world leaders of the Normal Demon Worlds that their world was currently under attack and they needed urgent help. ''From the looks of it, the young man was capable of killing the Great Golden Demon Emperor and the 1000 Zeroth Order Demon Apostles.'' Unlike the Great Golden Demon Emperor, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor didn''t rush to help those worlds that were being conquered by Ajax. Instead, he started thinking about his options. ''With my current strength, I can''t kill him or defeat him.'' Since the most powerful demon emperor along with the most powerful army failed to kill the young man and his divine dragon. Hence, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor didn''t think much before giving up on fighting Ajax. ''I think I should take a risk and meet that young man.'' After thinking for a moment, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor thought of his next instant goal. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, he made some simple preparations along with some trump cards to protect his life before opening a portal to the closest greater demon world that Ajax was conquering. ¡­. On Ajax''s temporary base world, ''Ding, The host has sessfully retrieved a normal world core from a Normal Demon World. ''Ding, The host¡­. In less than three hours, Ajax had sessfully collected 6 Normal World Cores and he only needed four more Normal World Cores to merge them into a Greater World Core. However, Ajax was not in a hurry to merge them as he was nning to give away 7 normal world cores and 13 smaller world cores. "Alder, you and the other Devourer Eagle Kings could use your ability to open the portals, right? I mean to the Great Worlds." The Devourer Eagle Kings had already used their ability to open the portals to the smaller and normal worlds. Alder, the leader of the Devourer Eagle Kings could use his ability to open the portals to the worlds by the following order: 1) Three Smaller Worlds / Day. 2) One Normal World / Day. 3) One Greater World / Week. As for the other Devourer Eagle Kings, their abilities could open the portals by the following restrictions: 1) One Smaller World / Day. 2) One Normal World / Week 3) One Greater World / Month. Since they have used their abilities for the smaller and normal worlds, Ajax thought about checking out a Greater Demon World. If he could conquer a Great Demon World and take out the World Core from it, then it would save Ajax a lot of time. "Master, I can open it if you want to as I am looking forward to fighting some powerful enemies in the Greater Demon World." When ites to fights, Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Kings were the most excited ones because they could eat some powerful beings. Hence, Alder was ready to open the portal to a Greater Demon World. "Wait¡­there is no need to open the portal to a Greater Demon World¡­at least not for now." Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and hurriedly rejected his ns on conquering a Greater Demon World. ''Wait¡­what?'' Alder was disappointed a little as he asked, "What happened, master? With our current strength, I don''t think we will have any problem in taking care of a Greater Demon World." "I can say that we can easily kill the world protectors and the guardians of a Greater Demon World and I can also say that it won''t be a problem for us to take care of the entire demon poption in the world." Ajax had a particr reason behind why he rejected the thought of conquering a Greater Demon World and he was exining it to Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Kings. "However, it would take quite some time to achieve that. ording to me, it would take at least a week to conquer and retrieve the world core." Ajax paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, I have a gut feeling that the Greater Worlds might be different from the normal worlds and the smaller worlds that we destroyed until now." As a world leader for some worlds, Ajax could sense that the Greater Worlds might have some unique protective methods that protect the world and its inhabitants whenever there was an invasion from the outside world. Moreover, Ajax felt that even if there were no such protective methods, it would take quite a lot of time and Ajax could almost merge two Greater World Cores in that week''s time. With Alder''s ability, Ajax could conquer a normal demon world daily and get one normal world core every day whereas he needed to wait for one more week to use the ability of the other 10 devourer eagle kings. "As you say, master." "Yes, master." "We are already full and we need quite some time to digest all those bodies anyway." Soon, Alder and the other devourer eagle kings agreed with Ajax''s words and nodded their heads in understanding. "You guys can stay here and take some rest. I will get and fulfil the contracts with the cultivators in the Trader''s Realm." Since Ajax rejected his n of entering the Greater Demon Worlds to conquer them, he could only leave his base world and returned to the Dwarf World to enter the Trader''s realm. The reason why Ajax still didn''t destroy his current base world was that there were still a dozen normal worlds and more than 30 smaller demon worlds around his new base world. Hence, there was still some time before he could destroy this world to take its world core. ''Swoosh'' However, just as he was about to leave the world, a winged golden demon emperor flew down from space while waving a white-coloured g. Chapter ?1581 Classification of Universe ?1581 ssification of Universe Seeing the winged golden demon emperor, Ajax became alert despite seeing the white g in his hands. Even though the white g always represented peace, Ajax didn''t believe in demons as they were known for backstabbing the moment one let down his guard. Ajax didn''t want to have such a death and hence, he was alert and waited for the demon to speak first. "Human, I am here to talk to you about something." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the human in front of him was not some hot-blooded youth that wanted nothing but killing and destruction. "Before that, let me introduce myself properly." Soon, he cleared his throat before introducing himself, "My name is Wingo and the new Great Demon Emperor of this Golden Demon Territory." "Okay." Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, he didn''t show it on his face before asking Wingo, "What is it that you wanted to talk about?" "I wanted to exin some things to you before that; however, it looks like you are much busier than I thought." Wingo shook his head with a bitter smile on his face as he directly came to the main point, "Why are you destroying these worlds? If possible, can you stop doing that in my territory?" The winged golden demon emperor''s words sounded as though he was requesting Ajax. ''...'' Ajax was speechless as he didn''t expect that the new emperor of the Golden Demon Territory woulde here to ask him that and even request him not to destroy the worlds in his territory. ording to what Ajax knew about Demons, they were selfish, arrogant and would do anything to increase their own strength. If they saw someone''s strength below them, they would not think twice before brandishing their swords. However, the demon in front of him was calm andposed while asking and trying to talk things out. "Of course, I will fulfil three of your requests in exchange for you to stop destroying the worlds in my territory." Seeing that Ajax remain silent, the Winged Golden Demno Emperor hurriedly added another sentence. "You will fulfil three of my requests?" Ajax was surprised a little and when he saw the sincere look on Wingo''s face, Ajax fell into a dilemma, ''Should I trust the words of a Demon?'' Demons were known for backstabbing and going back on their words. Just because they had a sincere look on their face, that doesn''t mean they would keep their word. Moreover, that''s how they go back on their words and fool those who trusted the sincere look on their faces. "Yes." Wingo nodded his head as he said, "As long as it doesn''t involve the destruction of my territory or the life and death of my subordinates." He didn''t forget to add some terms to the three requests he could fulfil for Ajax, making Ajax give it a try. ''Even if he fools me, where will he go? His territory will be here and I can alwayse back to destroy the worlds in this territory.'' Ajax felt the winged golden demon emperor in front of him was serious about his words and nodded his head as he decided to give it a try. "Before that, I have a few questions." Of course, Ajax had thought about something else and he wanted to know some answers before he could ept the winged golden demon emperor''s deal. Also, Ajax was not worried about the world cores because there were four more demon territories with countless worlds in each of them. "Sure. I will answer to the best of my ability." Wingo heaved a sigh of relief that Ajax almost agreed to his terms as he thought, ''As I expected, the young human was not as bloodthirsty as the Golden Demon Emperor imagined.'' "How many worlds are there exactly in this Golden Demon Territory?" Even though Ajax learned the universe he was in was divided into various territories; however, he didn''t have any idea regarding how many worlds each territory had. Hence, Ajax wanted to get a rough understanding of the number of worlds in each territory as he needed a lot of world cores in the future. "The Golden Demon Territory is one of the Greater Territories in the universe and there were more than one million worlds in it." As the ex-minister of the Golden Demon Territory, he was the one who used to manage all these one million worlds. So, of course, he didn''t have to think much before answering Ajax''s question. "Greater Territory? One million worlds in it?" Ajax didn''t know that even the Territories were also ssified into different sses and judging from the word ''Greater'', he could tell that the ssification was simr to the world. Nevertheless, Ajax asked Wingo about the ssification of the Territory and how they were ssified. ''Huh?'' Wingo raised his brows because he was not expecting Ajax didn''t even have basic knowledge about the universe and the territories. ''Even without knowing anything, he was already capable of killing the peak existence of the universe.'' The more Wingo thought about the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s death, the more shocked he became while looking at Ajax. Nevertheless, he, soon, came out of his thoughts and hurriedly exined. "The universe was ssified into six regions. They are the Human region, Demon region, Elf region, Dwarf region, Dragon region and Dark region." "Each region had some territories. Depending on the strength of the inhabitants in those regions and the area of those territories, they are ssified into Smaller Territory, Normal Territory and Greater Territory." "A Smaller Territory will only have one Greater World, 100 Normal Worlds and 1000 Smaller Worlds." "A Normal Territory will have 100 Greater Worlds, 10000 Normal Worlds and 100000 Smaller Worlds." "A Greater Territory will have 10000 Greater Worlds, 100000 Normal Worlds and One million Smaller Worlds." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor exined theplete ssification of the universe and when Ajax was calcting all the worlds in the universe, he muttered, ''And here I am worrying that I have to destroy the entire universe to increase my cultivation one day.'' Chapter ?1582 Myserious Dragon Region ?1582 Myserious Dragon Region The Winged Golden Demon Emperor continued to exin all the things about the universe, regions and territories that Ajax was not aware of in the past. Ajax was very attentive while listening to those exnations and started nning ordingly. The Universe they were currently in has a total of six regions. They were inhabited and ruled by different species and they are: 1) Demon Region: A region filled with demons and there were a total of five territories in this region. They are: a) Golden Demon Territory. b) Astral Demon Territory. c) Void Demon Territory. d) Primordial Demon Territory. e) Nether Demon World. Each territory was ruled by a Great Demon that had reached the peak Emperor realm. 2) Human Region: This region is filled with humans and humans have the power to do things. Just like the Demon Region, the Human Region also has five territories that were ruled by five different sects. They are: a) Sacred Territory is ruled by the Sacred Heavenly Sect. b) Dawn Territory is controlled by the Celestial Dawn Sect. c) Five Elemental Territory is governed by the Five Elemental Sect. d) Radiant Sun Territory that was previously controlled by the World Conquering Sect butter it was destroyed by Radiant Sun Sect and other sects. In the end, Radiant Sun took control of that territory. e) Dark Territory is owned by Shadow Veil Sect which was also called a Mysterious Sect. The remaining four regions were Dragon Region, Dwarf Region, Elf Region and Dark Region. The Winged Golden Demon Emperor didn''t have much information on those regions; however, he said some interesting facts. "The Dwarves were not capable of fighting and Elves didn''t like to fight, hence, they swore their loyalty to the Mysterious Forces from the Dragon Region." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor continued, "As for what forces are inside the Dragon Region¡­I am not sure because the Dragon Region is considered to be the strongest region." "What''s more, there were many rumours that many Dragons have broken through to the next realm after the Emperor Realm." Wingo looked at Ajax''s facial expressions as he said, "As for whether it was true or false, only the leaders of those five sects must know as they have done many transactions with the Dragons from the Dragon Region." ''The world-conquering sect must have been destroyed by the five other sects because of their ability to extract the world cores from the world.'' When Ajax learned that a sect that was controlling an entire territory was destroyed by the sects, he unconsciously shivered. If his ability to extract the world cores were known to those powerful sects, then it would be a game over for him. ''I should be careful with the extraction of world cores from now on and while selling the world cores.'' Finally, Ajax understood the true danger of his ability to extract the world cores. ''The only one who knows about my ability and my true identity was the Great Golden Demon Emperor and now, he is dead. So, there is nothing to be worried about.'' Soon, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when thinking about the death of the Great Golden Demon Emperor. "Thank you for the exnation." Ajax thanked the Winged Golden Demon Emperor and replied, "Can I use one of three favours from you now?" For Ajax to leave the Golden Demon Territory alone, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor has promised to fulfil Ajax''s three requests. Hence, Ajax was nning to use one of them now for something. "Sure." When he heard Ajaxe to the point, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor heaved a sigh of relief as he waited for what Ajax would be asking him. "Swear your loyalty to me." Ajax was serious as he directly asked what he wanted from the Winged Golden Demon Emperor. "What?" Wingo''s expression darkened when he heard Ajax''s words and he replied in a serious tone, "Human, just because I am willing to avoid a fight with you doesn''t mean that I am a coward." That''s right! The Winged Golden Demon Emperor was avoiding fighting Ajax because he didn''t want to use his trump cards on him as he stored them for the four Great Demons. Moreover, he was still making them more powerful to make sure that he could kill those Great Demon Emperors from the other territories in a single move. Hence, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor didn''t want to use such powerful trump cards on Ajax. However, if Ajax doesn''t listen to him and goes overboard, he won''t have a choice other than using one of those trump cards to kill him. "Swoosh" As soon as the Winged Golden Demon Emperor said those words, a violent demonic aura released from his body while trying to pressure Ajax. ''...'' However, Ajax didn''t feel any pressure from Wingo, making Ajax shake his head with a slight smile on his face. If it was before, Ajax might have felt some pressure; however, he had already broken through to the Emperor Realm and even unlocked the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique which gave him some powerful rewards. "As long as you be my subordinate, I will help you take over the entire Demon Region. What do you say?" While maintaining the smile on his face, Ajax offered the entire Demon Region in exchange for his loyalty. "..." Wingo was surprised to see that Ajax was not even flinching when he released his special demonic pressure, making him frown and when he heard Ajax''s words, he frowned. ''Even though this human doesn''t have the peak emperor cultivation, he has some mysterious tricks under his sleeve; however, they are not enough to kill those Great Demon Emperors as they were more powerful than the Great Golden Demon Emperor.'' If Ajax had the cultivation of at least high-level cultivation, Wingo would have not thought even for a second before falling to his knees in front of Ajax. However, in his eyes, Ajax was still not powerful enough to go against the Great Demon Emperors with his low-level emperor realm cultivation. Chapter 1583 New Mission "Human, you are still not strong enough to make me bow my head to you." After thinking for a moment, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor said his inner thoughts. "Then, I can only prove my strength to you and make you acknowledge me as your master." Suddenly, Ajax''s eyes turned serious as he was ready to fight the Winged Golden Demon Emperor. Actually, the reason why Ajax wanted to turn the Winged Golden Demon Emperor into his subordinate was to take full control over the Golden Demon Territory. If he killed the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, a new Golden Demon Emperor would rece him who would be much weaker than Wingo. Without enough strength, that newly became emperor won''t take full control over the Golden Demon Territory as many other Golden Demon Emperors won''t agree with him and even make ns to kill him. However, after seeing the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, Ajax felt that the demon not only had proper strength but even good brains to take over the entire Golden Demon Territory in a single go thanks to his previous position of being the Minister to the Great Golden Demon Emperor. Also, in Ajax''s perspective, it would be a time taking process to kill the inhabitants of the worlds and extract the World Core. Hence, if he could make the Winged Golden Demon Emperor as his subordinate, he could get some easy world cores without fighting. Moreover, with his help, the Winged Golden Demon could conquer the four Great Demon Territories. ''With more Territories under my control, I can have an unlimited supply of World Cores as everyone thousands of smaller words, hundreds of Normal Worlds and dozens of Greater Worlds will be formed in the world.'' This was also what Ajax learned from the Winged Golden Demon Emperor and hence, Ajax added a new goal to his list and it was to conquer the entire Demon Region in the universe. ''Of course, it is just a small goal and it would only increase with time and my strength.'' With such thoughts in mind, Ajax asked the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, "As long as you swear your loyalty to me, I will make you the Great Emperor of the entire Demon Region and I swear it on my Summoner''s Heart." If possible, Ajax didn''t want to fight the Winged Golden Demon Emperor because it would only weaken both of them. Hence, he was willing to go as far as swearing on his Summoner''s Heart. For a human who had sessfully be a Summoner, a Summoner''s Heart is a sacred thing and no one would dare to swear it. However, Ajax had done this many times and even though he didn''t believe such things, he had kept his word every time he swore on the Summoner''s Heart. ''This young man¡­.he is willing to go as far as swearing on his Summoner''s Heart. Why does he look so confident? Is someone backing him?'' As a demon that survived and reached his current position thanks to his instincts, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor felt that Ajax was not lying and what''s more, he even swore on Summoner''s Heart. It was Wingo''s goal to conquer the entire Demon Region and the human in front of him was willing to help him achieve that. How could he resist such a great temptation? However, at the same time, deep down, his arrogant self was cursing him for not bing someone''s subordinate¡­ especially a human''s subordinate. ''Ding, A new mission [Speical Demon Follower] has been generated. ''Ding, Mission Name: Special Demon Follower. Objective: Convince the Winged Golden Demon Emperor to be your subordinate at any cost. Reward: A Divine Rule. As the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was hesitating, Ajax''s received a new system mission, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Since the system issued this mission means that this Winged Golden Demon Emperor won''t ept me as my master even after I swore my Summoner''s Heart.'' Even though he was surprised and excited about the reward, Ajax thought that it wouldn''t be easy to get that reward. Hence, he quickly started thinking about ways to make the Winged Golden Demon Emperor his subordinate at any cost. ¡¤?¦Èm "As long as you be my subordinate, I will help you awaken a new bloodline. What do you say?" Suddenly, Ajax remembered the millions of Bloodline Awakening Pills in the system inventory and hurriedly promised the demon a new bloodline. "Really?" Wingo was excited when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he soon suppressed his excitement. As a high-level Demon Emperor, Wingo knew thatpared to increasing his cultivation, the fastest way to be powerful was by awakening a new bloodline. Even if the bloodline had a minute strengthening effect, it would make a great difference for a high-level Demon Emperor like him. Hence, he was excited about it. "Of course. I will give you these Bloodline Awakening Pills and all you have to do is just swallow them until you awaken a new bloodline." Ajax liked the Demon Emperor''s reaction as he hurriedly took out a pill bottle that was full of Bloodline Awakening Pills. ''...'' However, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor still didn''t ept Ajax''s request and was getting ready to fight Ajax. "Let''s fight and see how strong you are. If you can defeat me, I will ept you as my master." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor wanted to assess Ajax''s strength before epting him as his master. ''Damn it¡­why do all these Demons want to fight?'' Ajax had recently broken through to the Emperor Realm and had gained some powerful cultivation techniques and souls and skills. He was yet to get used to the rapid increase in his strength and if he was careless and used their full strike to identally kill the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, it would only ruin Ajax''s ns. Hence, Ajax was still unwilling to fight; however, looking at Wingo, Ajax felt he could not avoid the fight to make the Demon Emperor ept him as his master. "Wait a second." Just when Ajax decided to fight the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, he suddenly thought of something, "As long as you acknowledge me as your master, I will give these 12 statues. What do you say?" Soon, 12 ck-coloured statues appeared in front of Ajax as he decided to give one final try to convince the Winged Golden Demon Emperor to be his subordinate without a fight. Chapter 1584 Ajax Versus Wingo (1) Back when he was in the Purple Stone World, after destroying the Assassin Sects, Ajax had collected a total of 12 statues from them. ording to the system, they were called Assassin God''s Statues. Also, Ajax had learned that by collecting all 12 of them, a miracle would happen; however, even after he ced them together nothing happened, making him believe that he was missing something to trigger that miracle. Because Ajax believed the system, he knew what it said was true and at the same time, he also knew that these statues have something to do with the Demons. ''Since the Assassin Sect was truly controlled by the Demons¡­ especially the Golden Demons, I think these statues might be of great value to the demons.'' That''s the reason why Ajax had taken out those 12 Assassin God''s Statues that were rotting in his Space Ring and decided to offer them to the Winged Golden Demon Emperor in exchange for bing his subordinate. "T-these are¡­" Looking at the 12 ck-coloured statues in front of him, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was shocked as he hurriedly asked, "Human, where did you get them? Do you have any more statues?" The previous calmness on Wingo''s facepletely disappeared as he hurriedly asked Ajax a series of questions. "Huh? Are there more such statues?" Ajax was not surprised to see the sudden changes in the expression of the Winged Golden Demon Emperor; however, he was surprised to hear that there were more Assassin God''s statues in the universe. ''No wonder, I was unable to create the miracle that the system has mentioned.'' Ajax finally understood the reason why he was unable to unlock the miracle even after collecting the 12 Assassin God''s Statues. ''But, still, why didn''t the system mention that there were more statues?'' Ajax silently thought in his head and waited for an answer from the system. ''Ding, The system didn''t know exactly how many Assassin God''s Statues are in the universe and the information it had was all collected from the heads of the Assassins that the host had killed. ''Oh right!'' Ajax didn''t forget how the system was able to collect the information in the world and issue the mission for him. It was rted to the beings all around him and the more beings he killed, the more information the system could collect about the world and other things. "Human, these statues are very useful for me; however, as a proud demon, I can''t acknowledge someone weaker than me bing my master." Even though the rewards that Ajax offered to the Winged Golden Demon Emperor were great, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor still asked Ajax to fight it and only if Ajax wins the fight, he could acknowledge Ajax as his master. Previously, the Great Golden Demon Emperor had enough strength and even without fighting him, Wingo decided to serve him as a minister for him and of course, the moment he became stronger, he was nning to dethrone him. Wingo didn''t mind following a powerful leader and when that powerful leader bes weaker than him, he would leave that so-called leader without any hesitation. ''...'' Ajax was speechless when he heard the Winged Golden Demon Emperor''s words which made him shake his head in helplessness.I think you should take a look at "Fine. Since you want me to prove that I am stronger than you, let''s fight!" If it was a little before, Ajax would have directly aimed to kill the Winged Golden Demon Emperor; however, after the system issued a mission with a good reward, Ajax could only agree to the Winged Golden Demon Emperor''s condition to fight and win. "For humans, the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts are also their strengths. So, you can use them in our fight to defeat me." Looking at the resting contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits in the distance, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor asked Ajax to use them to fight against him. ''As long as I don''t use my trump card, my chances of winning against the human using his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits are almost minimal. I hope he can win against me and make me acknowledge him as my master.'' At the same time, Wingo silently thought in his head because he really wanted to acknowledge Ajax as his master; however, that doesn''t mean he was just going to stand there and let Ajax win. Of course, he would be using all his strength except for the trump cards he had prepared for the Great Demon Emperors as he wanted Ajax to win the fight. "There is no need. I can defeat you alone." Ajax shook his head as he said he would be fighting without his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. It was not that Ajax was overestimating himself by fighting alone, in reality, Ajax wanted to find out how powerful he became after the breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. Moreover, he wanted to test his newly unlocked cultivation techniques and skills to see what he could do with them. "Human, you are proud and arrogant." Hearing Ajax''s words, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was shocked for a moment before replying with a smile, "I like those two qualities in someone that I want to follow. I hope you have enough strength to be arrogant and proud." In this universe where strength matters the most, it doesn''t matter whether the other person was proud or arrogant because he had enough strength to act like one. If the person doesn''t have strength but still acts arrogant and proud, then he will be resting three feet under the ground. Moreover, as a proud and arrogant demon himself, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor didn''t mind having an arrogant leader to follow. "Now, shall we start?" Ajax chuckled a little as he asked whether the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was ready for the fight and as soon as Wingo nodded his head, Ajax didn''t waste any time and used one of his newly awakened skills. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' Ajax disappeared from his ce without a trace, making the Winged Golden Demon Emperor alert. ''Swoosh'' "Are you looking for me?" [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] Chapter 1585 Ajax Versus Wingo (2) "Are you looking for me?" [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] Ajax appeared right in front of the Winged Golden Demon Emperor and pressed his palm against his opponent''s chest. ''Rumble'' ''Boom'' There was a quick rumbling sound when Ajax''s palm touched the Winged Golden Demon Emperor''s chest and in the next second, a loud explosion urred as the Demon Emperor was sted more than a dozen meters away from his ce. ''Holy heavens¡­this Palm Technique is so powerful.'' Looking at the power of his Palm Technique, Ajax was shocked and soon, he became excited. Ajax had circted the energy in his body ording to insights he received after awakening the [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] and just ced his palm on the other party''s chest. However, the result was an explosion that could be seen while undergoing severe lightning tribtions. "Cough¡­you got a powerful Palm Technique, human." On the other hand, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor coughed a little as he praised Ajax''s attack. Earlier when the Palm Techniquended on him, Wingo felt his soul shake a little. Other than that, there were no external or internal injuries to him. Nevertheless, he felt the danger from Ajax''s attack because if his soul didn''t undergo various elemental tempering and without his passive skill [Aura of Invulnerabilty], it might have been injured by that earlier attack. "Thank you. You also got some good defencepared to the other Golden Demons I have fought in the past" Since Ajax was sure that the Winged Golden Demon Emperor would be his subordinate soon, he spoke with Wingo as though he was a friend. Not only did he thank Wingo for his praise but he also praised Wingo for his good defence. The Golden Demons were known for their defence andpared to the regr Golden Demons, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor''s defence was much better that he was still fine after receiving Ajax''s Demi-God-level-Palm Technique. ''Hm'' Wingo nodded his head as he said, "It''s time I get serious and show you my powerful skills." [Infernal Demonic Wings] As soon as he said that, the folded wings on his back opened while releasing ckish-golden mes. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he flew into the air with his fiery wings and shouted, [Inferno Asteroid] ''Swoosh'' In the next second, he turned into a huge ming golden rock and moved towards Ajax at an incredible speed. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he revealed a slight smile on his face and tried to dodge the iing fiery asteroid with a simple teleportation. ''Swoosh'' Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared 100 meters away from his ce with a frown on his face. ''Huh?'' It was because Ajax was not teleported to the ce he wanted to, instead, he only teleported to some random ce that was 100 meters away from his previous location. ''[Golden Lightscreen]?''I think you should take a look at While wondering about the reason behind his failed teleportation, Ajax unconsciously touched the invisible light screen in front of him and finally understood the reason behind his failed teleportation. "That''s right! I have ced a barrier of 100 meters of the radius with you as the center. Hence, you can''t escape my attacks." The burning golden rock falling from the sky chuckled as it increased its speed towards Ajax''s previous ce. Since Wingo already learned that Ajax could teleport with his cultivation technique, he had already ced a barrier around Ajax to make sure he won''t escape his next attack which would take at least 20-30 seconds to execute. "Haha¡­not bad not bad¡­you got brains too." Ajaxughed out loud when he heard Wingo''s words as he nodded at Wingo''s intelligence. "[Inheritance Sword],e out." With a thought, an ancient sword appeared in Ajax''s hands as he directly used his new sword cultivation technique. [Thousand des Torrent] ''Let''s see how powerful this barrier is.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s mind as he swung his [Inheritance Sword] ten times in a row while aiming at the barrier. ''Whoosh'' Even though Ajax only swung the sword ten times and released only ten sword waves, they turned into thousand des before forming into a tornado and colliding with the barrier. ''Boom'' The barrier was powerful; however,pared to a Demi-God-Level Sword Technique along with level 6 Sword Dao, it didn''t stand any chance as the barrier exploded. "Impossible" Wingo, who had transformed into a ming rock, was shocked when he saw that Ajax destroyed his Golden Lightscreen Barrier with ease. [Celestial Void Step] After destroying the barrier, Ajax hurriedly used his movement technique to instantly cross one kilometer away from the ce where the asteroid would be falling. ''Boom'' Even though Ajax was not in the range of destruction, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor could not stop his attack in the middle and could only collide with the ground where Ajax was standing 30 seconds back. "It looks like you are tired and don''t look in a condition to fight anymore. Are you willing to ept defeat?" After the dust from the earlier collision settled, Ajax looked at the severely injured Winged Golden Demon Emperor and asked with a slight smile on his face. Even though Ajax didn''t attack the demon, its own attack was so powerful that it injured his body. If Ajax was anywhere close to 100 meters of that attack, he would have been seriously injured if not dead. ''That attack is very powerful but the disadvantage of that attack is its time taking and the opponent would escape before the demon-turned asteroid couldnd on the ground.'' Wingo was good at nning and even created a barrier to stop Ajax from escaping; however, too bad for him that Ajax had some good powerful techniques that could break the barrier. "Human, I didn''t expect that you would have such a powerful sword technique." Wiping the ck blood from the corner of his mouth, Wingo said, "However, don''t think that I can ept my defeat with just this much." [Demonic Regeneration] After saying that, Wingo used his Emperor Soul and soon, his injuries started healing at a rapid pace at which an eye could easily see. "Interesting¡­you are much tougher than you look." ***** Porter2013, thanks for 142 Golden Tickets. Chapter 1586 Mighty Divine Rule "Interesting¡­you are much tougher than you look." Ajax was surprised to see that the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was able toprehend apletely different soul than the other Golden Demons. Most of the Golden Demons that Ajax encountered and fought hadprehended, Armour Law, Golden Armoured Law, Golden Armoured Soul. Even the Great Golden Demon Emperor Dilginprehended the Golden Armoured Emperor Soul along with the Golden Sword Soul. However, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor in front of him hadprehended a healing-type of soul, the [Demonic Regeneration] until the attack-type or defence-type souls. "Human, I am curious about your cultivator souls. Why don''t you use them?" While Wingo was using his emperor''s realm demonic soul, the [Demonic Regeneration], he asked Ajax to use his cultivator souls. Without using any cultivator souls, Ajax was already very powerful and the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was curious about Ajax''s full power. Moreover, after Ajax made him use his [Demonic Regeneration], Wingo had already decided to acknowledge Ajax as his master. Nevertheless, that doesn''t mean that he didn''t want to see some of Ajax''s trump cards. "You want to see my Cultivator Souls?" When he heard the Demonic Emperor''s words, Ajax could not help but smile bitterly before saying, "I don''t know whether you believe it or not, I only have one king-grade cultivator''s soul; however, it was not useful forbat." "What? Are you kidding me?" It was the Winged Golden Demon Emperor''s turn to get shocked when he heard Ajax''s words. How could an emperor realm cultivator not have a single emperor-grade cultivator''s soul? It was a mandatory requirement for any cultivator to break through into the Emperor realm. Actually, Ajax also had some Emperor grade cultivator''s souls when he broke through to the Emperor realm; however, he had sacrificed all of them for the Blessed Refining Cultivator''s Technique. Except for a King Grade cultivator''s soul, the [Orb of Death] that could help Ajax in reviving death with certain requirements, Ajax didn''t have any other souls or evenws. ''However, what I have with me is something that is much more powerful than an Emperor Grade Cultivator''s soul.'' In the next second, Ajax revealed a smile as he thought, ''Let''s test the power of the Divine Rule.'' After some thinking, Ajax decided to use his Divine Thunder for the first time and of course, he was not nning to use its full power. ''Since Wingo is going to be my subordinate, I have to be careful and use as little power as possible.'' [Lightning Maniption] While Wingo was still in shock by Ajax''s words, Ajax directly used the first skill that he got from his Divine rule [Thunder]. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax waspletely covered in lightning snakes that came from who knows where and whenever those snakes collided with one another, there would be a rumbling sound. Just the rumbling sounding from the collision was enough to shake the souls of normal emperor cultivators. "What is that skill?" Even Wingo looked at Ajax with his ear closed. As a demon, the element that most scares him was none other than lightning the lightning snakes around Ajax looked more terrifying and the rumbling sound made his heart beat wildly.I think you should take a look at ''T-this feeling¡­.it feels like I am a God of Thunder.'' On the other hand, Ajax, who was responsible for the creation of all those lighting arcs that were moving around like snakes, was feeling full of power. Moreover, Ajax had full control over all the lightning arcs around and with a thought, he could send one of them to destroy Wingo''s body. ''I thought I could use as little power as possible to defeat Wingo; however, that little power could easily kill him.'' Looking at the Winged Golden Demon Emperor in the distance who was already shaking in fear, Ajax shook his head, ''Let''s not use this Divine Rule on him.'' "Do you admit your defeat or should I use my attack and prove that I am stronger than you?" Ajax directly asked Wingo, hoping that Wingo would just admit defeat and be his subordinate. Of course, even if he chose not, Ajax didn''t want to use the Divine Rule on him as he still had other trump cards to deal with that was less life-threatening for Wingo. ''Putong'' Without any surprise, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor fell to his knees and said, "Master, Wingo is willing to follow Master and I swear it on my Demonic Heart." What''s more, Wingo just didn''t use normal words but he even swore on his Demonic Heart. Like how the humans who be summoners have Summoner''s Hearts, the demons have Demonic Hearts. If they go back on their words after swearing on their Demonic Heart, the punishment would be much more severepared to the Summoner''s Heart. Not only the physical torture but even the demon''s soul have to go through endless punishment until it disappears into nothingness. So, no one would swear on something that easily. Even Wingo didn''t n to swear on his Demonic Heart when he acknowledged Ajax as his master; however, after witnessing the lightning power harnessed by Ajax, Wingo never wanted to go against Ajax in his life. In short, he was terrified to know that Ajax had a power that could instantly kill him. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the mission [Special Demon Follower]. ''Ding, The host is rewarded with a Divine Rule, the [Demonic Law] (0.01 percent). As soon as Wingo acknowledged Ajax as his master, Ajax received the system notifications that informed him about thepletion of the mission. ''Now, I have another Divine Rule.'' After witnessing the power of his first Divine Rule, Ajax was looking forward to collecting as many Divine Rules as possible. ''But the problem is, the more Divine Rules I awaken, the more resources I need to upgrade them.'' The Divine Rule [Thunder], was awakened only one percent and ording to the system, it required a Greater World Core to increase the awakening percentage. What''s more, the Demonic Rule that he got from the system as a reward was awakening only 0.01 percent. ''Ding, Please retract your Divine Rule as soon as possible unless you want to die. Chapter 1587 Cooldown And Duration ''Ding, Please retract your Divine Rule as soon as possible unless you want to die. ''What? I will die?'' Ajax was shocked by the sudden system notification; however, he hurriedly cancelled his Divine Thunder Rule. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the lightning snakes around him disappeared without a trace and at the same time, Ajax felt his entire body be weakened. ''Phew'' Only after all the lightning arcs around his body had disappeared, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and asked the system, ''System care to exin what''s that about?'' ording to the system, Divine Rules are the upgraded version of an Emperor Grade Cultivator''s soul. So, why would a cultivator die for using his own Divine Rule? ''Is it because of my strength being a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator?'' That''s the only possibility that Ajax was able toe up with as he waited for the system''s exnation. ''Ding, That''s right! The host''s strength is still too low to use the Divine Rules for long durations. It was what Ajax had thought as the system continued to exin more about it. ''Ding, Divine Rules are for those who reached peak Emperor Realm Cultivation and sessfully upgraded their cultivator''s souls into Divine Rules. ''Ding, Even then, those cultivators can''t handle the power of the Divine Rules unless they undergo the tribtion and ascend to a higher realm. ''Ding, Currently, the host''s physical body could bepared to those at the high-level emperor realm and thus, he could barely use a Divine Rule for one minute and after that, the host''s body might explode at any time. ''Hm¡­I understand.'' After experiencing the power of a Divine Rule, Ajax understood what the system was trying to say. The power that Ajax felt while using the Divine Thunder Rule was much higher than the feeling that he had when he activated his ex-bloodlines that could increase his battle prowess by 10x times. Of course, Ajax had broken through to the Emperor''s realm and it was really not a goodparison, but still, it was the first time he felt that he could instantly kill the Great Golden Demon Emperor if he fought with him again. ''Ding, For the host''s safety, the system hase up with the usage time and the cooldown for the Divine Rules. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Thunder (1 percent) (Not upgradeable). Duration: One minute. Cooldown: One week. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Demon (0.01 percent) (Not upgradeable). Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: One month. Just as Ajax was about to go and have a chat with his most powerful demon follower, he received a few more system notifications. ''Huh?'' Looking at the duration and cooldown for his second demon rule, Ajax frowned; however, he thought, ''It might be because of my awakening percent.''I think you should take a look at ''Anyway, even though I have the strongest trump cards, I have to be careful while using them.'' With his current strength, Ajax doesn''t have to use the Divine Rules much and could take care of his opponents with his new skills and cultivation techniques. Moreover, he even has his army of Devourer Eagle Kings which would be the peak of Emperor Realm''s existence once he enters the Floating Ind. ''Once I enter the Floating Ind, I will not only take my revenge but take full control over the Floating Ind.'' That''s right! From the beginning, Ajax had his eyes on the Floating Ind; however, at that time, he was not strong enough and suppressed that thought. However, things were different now and the Floating Ind was very useful for him to nurture his Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts. ''Once I have that Floating Ind, all my elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts would reach the peak Emperor realm in just a few years.'' One day in the outside world is equivalent to one year on the floating ind and with such a huge time factor, Ajax and his army would rise to apletely new level in a short time. ''Also, there are countless Mythical Grade Treasures inside the Floating Ind. With them, not only could I revive Snow but I can also create a new body for my Father.'' Just thinking about owning the Floating Ind was making Ajax excited and made him look forward to the day he enters the Floating Ind. "Anyway, it''s time to talk with Wingo." Keeping aside those things, Ajax walked towards the Winged Golden Demon Emperor who was still shaking in fear due to Ajax''s usage of Divine Thunder. "How long do you need to get full control over this Golden Demon Territory?" Without wasting any time, Ajax directly came to the point. "I-it will take at least one month as I still have to take care of a dozen high-level Demon Emperors." After thinking for a moment, Wingo answered Ajax with a face full of respect and fear. "Then one month is it." Ajax didn''t urge Wingo to do things faster and let him do it at his own pace before saying, "After I return after exactly one month by them, I want you to be the True Ruler of this Golden Demon Territory." "If you can do that, I will help you take care of the other four Great Demon Territories and make you the Leader of the Great Demon Emperor and the ruler of the entire Demon Region in the universe." "Thank you, master." If it was before he witnessed Ajax''s usage of the Divine Thunder Rule, Wingo might have had some doubts regarding Ajax''s words; however, there was no shred of doubt as hepletely believed Ajax. "Also, after you sessfully be the True Ruler of this Territory, evacuate all the inhabitants from ten Greater Worlds, 100 Normal Worlds and 1000 Small Worlds." Ajax didn''t forget about the main thing as he informed Wingo about the worlds in his territory, ''The level of these worlds doesn''t matter, whether they were barren worlds or vacant worlds or low-level worlds, I want the number of the worlds I mentioned.'' Even among the grades of the worlds, 10 levels were starting from level 1 to level 10 and so far, Ajax didn''t find any differences in the world cores he obtained and even the system considered it as the world core of that grade. Hence, Ajax gave Wingo an option to choose the newly ascended worlds or barren worlds or the world with fewer resources, making Wingo agree to his words without any hesitation. "I will get them ready by the time the master returns." Wingo nodded his head and reminded Ajax, "By the way master, aren''t you going to imprint your spiritual mark on my Demonic Consciousness?" Even though Wingo had already sworn an oath on his Demonic Heart, the cultivators would make sure their servants won''t even have the thoughts of harming their master and hence, they would ce the spiritual mark on their Demonic Consciousness. "There is no need for such things as I believe you and your oath on the Demonic Heart." Of course, it was a lie and the reason why Ajax believed that Wingo wouldn''t betray him was because of the system''s notification. ''Ding, Special Demonic Follower: Wingo (Dead Loyal). Hence, Ajax felt there was no need to leave his spiritual mark on Wingo''s Demonic Consciousness. "Also, here are the things that I promised you to give." As soon as he said those words, Ajax took 12 Assassin God Statues out of his space ring, making Wingo excited. Chapter 1588 Heavenly Demon Realm "Master, thanks for such a valuable gift." Taking the 12 Assassin God Status from Ajax, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor was excited and hurriedly thanked him. Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile but said nothing. "But, can I ask you something?" Wingo hesitated a little before asking Ajax about the ce where he got them. "Huh?" Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, "I found them in my birth world where one organization was collecting them." He only exined briefly before asking, "As far as I know each statue will give the holder the ability to transform into a demon and their strength increases to King Realm." "So these statues were in a normal world that was in the borders of the Human Region and Demon Region. No wonder, the Great Golden Demon Emperor and other Great Demon Emperors wanted to invade it very badly." After learning about Ajax''s world, Wingo finally got an answer to one of his many questions in his head. In the past, he didn''t understand why all the Great Demon Emperors were crazy about invading the Purple Stone World but now, he understood it was rted to the Assassin God Statues. Actually, it was one of the reasons for the Great Demon Emperors coveting the Purple Stone World; however, there were many other reasons like Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, a Divine Treasure that could help someone be stronger in a short time and many other minor reasons. Even though Wingo was a prime minister, the Great Golden Demon Emperor was very careful and handled things without giving any proper exnations to Wingo. Also, the members of the Assassin Sect who were holding onto these statues didn''t know much about these statues; however, they only knew that they were valuable and the Great Demons needed these statues. Of course, they didn''t trade the statues but revealed some information about the statues once in a while to be the single powerful sect in the Purple Stone World. On the other hand, the Great Demon Emperors also used the Assassin Sect to invade the Purple Stone world for the sake of the treasure and as for the statues, they were just a bonus. "However, I feel that once all the statues were collected, something heaven-defying will have. I wonder if you have any idea about it." At the same time, Ajax shared his thoughts about the Assassin God Statues. "Yes, master. There is a secret behind these Heavenly Demon God Statues¡­that''s right! There are no Assassin God Statues; instead, they are called Heavenly Demon God Statues." Wingo nodded his head at Ajax''s words and corrected him. "Heavenly Demon God Statues?" Ajax frowned and soon, he realized something, ''Is it because the system collected the information from the minds of the Assassin Sect members? That might be the reason.'' After learning about how the system collected the information, Ajax started believing that the system might have some incorrect information in its database. ording to the Assassin Sect Members, these statues were called the Assassin God Statues because, with these statues, they could be King realm cultivators and even Emperor Realm cultivators. So, they came up with that name; however, they were called Heavenly Demon God Statues by the Demons. "ording to the prophecy those who have a Divine Dragon and collect a 100 Heavenly Demon God Statues, they could open a way to Heavenly realm." Seeing that Ajax was interested in the Heavenly Demon God Statues, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor continued to exin about them. "In the Great Golden Demon Emperor''s treasury, there were 25 of them whereas the remaining four Great Demon Emperors have 15 statues each." "If we could take down the remaining four Great Demon Emperors and take the statues they were holding, we would have a total of 97 statues."I think you should take a look at By the time Wingo said these words, he became excited and continued, "We only need to find three more and we can open the portal to the Heavenly Demon God." "Heavenly Demon Realm? Is that a simr realm to the Heavenly Human Realm?" Ajax was surprised to learn there were a total of 100 statues in this universe; however, what surprised him the most was that collecting all 100 of them would open a gateway to the Heavenly Demon God. For humans, once they reached the peak Emperor Realm and sessfully upgraded at least one of their cultivator''s souls into Divine Rule, they would be triggering the Tribtion. If that human survived the tribtion, he or she would sessfully ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. ''Until yesterday, I had no idea that there was something called the Heavenly Human Realm; however, after awakening the Divine Rule, the system was generous and revealed the Heavenly Human Realm.'' Of course, the system didn''t exin everything clearly; however, Ajax was able to deduce these things after the system''s exnation. Therefore, when he heard Wingo mention the Heavenly Demon Realm, he thought that it was simr to the Heavenly Human Realm. "Yes, master." The Winged Golden Demon Emperor nodded his head as he exined, "As long as a Demon collected all 100 of them and was blessed by the Divine Dragon, they couldpletely avoid the tribtion and directly ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm." "What? A demon can skip the Lightning Tribtion by collecting these statues and having a divine blessing?" After listening to Wingo''s words, Ajax was shocked as he looked at the 12 Assassin Statues with a shocked look on his face. The divine blessing that Wingo mentioned was a special skill that all Divine Dragons have and Ajax knew that his Destructive Twilight Dragon also had that skill. "Interesting¡­I thought I have reached the peak of this universe. It looks like I have a new goal after Iplete my current goals." With his current strength and army of beasts and the elemental spirits, no one can stop Ajax from doing whatever he wants to do in this entire universe. Of course, these are all Ajax''s thoughts and even though he was confident, Ajax was not arrogant enough to cause some random troubles in the universe. It was because Ajax believed that there would be some ancient dragons in the Dragon Region that might have upgraded their bestial souls into Divine Rules. Hence, after reviving Snow and his father, Ajax wanted to set ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm as his next major goal. "Yes, master. It was the dream for all the demon emperors to ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm¡­and it was my dream too as I wanted to prove to everyone that even someone like me can ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm." Wingo clenched his fists as he said those words to Ajax. After meeting Ajax and seeing his lightning power along with the 12 Heavenly Demon God statues, Wingo felt that his chances of achieving that goal had increased by a huge margin. "Don''t worry, I will help you achieve your dream." Since Wingo is one of his subordinates, Ajax would definitely help Wingo achieve his dream. "Thank you, master." Wingo thanked his master and looked forward to the day he achieved his goal. "Okay then, I will leave now ande back in a month. Get full control over this territory." After talking with Wingo about a few more things, Ajax left with his army and returned to the Five Elemental World. Chapter 1589 [Bonus ] Teleportation Token With his title, the [Emperor of the Worlds], Ajax could travel back to any one of his worlds with a simple thought. Hence, it only took Ajax a few moments to return to the Five Elemental World after retracting all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts into his Inner World. ''I still have a total of 12 smaller world cores and four normal world cores but I only have three smaller world cores.'' After returning to the Five Elemental World, Ajax thought of his debts that he had to repay in one month in the Trader''s Realm. Of course, Ajax could put three smaller world cores on hold as he can exchange them monthly once with the human elemental emperors while entering the Floating Ind. ''Still, I need 9 smaller world cores and four normal worlds within a month.'' After Wingo became his subordinate, Ajax didn''t want to destroy the worlds in the Golden Demon Territory any longer because it might affect Wingo''s ascension to the throne. Once Wingo gains full control over the territory, Ajax could get free 1000 smaller worlds, 100 normal worlds and 10 Greater Worlds. ''By then, I can enter the Floating Ind andplete my revenge and focus on searching for the treasures while trying to get full control over the Floating Ind.'' Ajax started nning everything and soon, he concluded, ''With the three smaller world cores and 100 billion trader''s tokens I have with me, I will search for the treasures in the Trader''s Realm to revive Snow and the father.'' "Until then, I willplete some of the minor things that are pending." With that thought in mind, Ajax started spending his time in the Five Elemental World with Siora and after a few days, he went to meet his Master, the Bloodline Emeror Mostror in the Bloodline Training Grounds. ¡­ In the Bloodline Training Ground, "Ajax, what technique are you using to hide your bloodlines? I can no longer see them." When Mostror saw Ajax, he frowned for a moment and shook his head before asking Ajax. Previously, whenever Ajax visited him, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror could easily see the bloodlines that Ajax had awakened. However, he no longer saw them and the only possibility that Mostror thought was that Ajax might be using a camouge technique to hide his bloodlines. Mostror was unable to see Ajax''s cultivation also; however, he was not bothered much about it but when ites to Bloodlines, he proimed himself as a master and nothing rted to the Bloodlines should be hidden from his eyes. "Master, I got lucky and sessfully breakthrough into the Emperor Realm." Ajax didn''t answer Mostror''s question as he informed Mostror about his breakthrough while slightly releasing his aura. "What? How did you¡­you are not even 20 years old and you already became an Emperor Realm Cultivator?" For Mostror, he assumed that nothing could surprise or shock him as long as it is not rted to the bloodlines; however, he was still shocked when he heard Ajax''s reply. Even in the Greater Human Worlds, bing an Emperor Realm cultivator before 20 years could be considered a great achievement that until now no one was able to achieve. Hence, Mostror became shocked; however, in the next second, he became happy for his disciple. "I was just lucky, master." Ajax was modest as he replied with a smile. Of course, Ajax had to be modest as he could not say that he just destroyed 9 normal worlds and 10 smaller worlds to be an Emperor Realm Cultivator. "You¡­." Mostror wanted to p Ajax when he heard Ajax''s words; however, he held himself back. "Since you have be an Emperor Realm cultivator, I have a suitable gift for you." After thinking for a moment, the Bloodline Emperor took a red-coloured token out of thin air; however, he didn''t give it to Ajax.I think you should take a look at Instead, he asked, "Do you have any ns to join the top five sects of the human race?" "No, master. I like to be free and want to do whatever I want to." There was no hesitation as Ajax replied to Mostror without thinking much. Ajax had already learned about the top five sects of the human race that control the five territories in the human region of the universe. After hearing about them, Ajax didn''t have a good impression of them. Moreover, he liked to be free and didn''t want to follow someone''s orders. Hence, he directly shook his head. "I guessed it." Mostror was not surprised by Ajax''s reply as he already guessed. As for how Ajax found out about the top five sects, Mostror was not at all surprised because once someone enters the Treader''s realm, one could get all kinds of information. The information about the top five sects was not a secret and it was the least valuable information. "Do you know how many regions there are in our universe?" "Yes, master." Since Ajax had already learned about the top five sects of the human race, Mostror guessed that Ajax might have also learned about the regions and further ssifications of the territory. "Good. It saves me a lot of time in exining all those things." Mostror heaved a sigh of relief as he threw the token at Ajax and said, "With that token, you enter a normal world in the Dragon Region. Do you want to use it and widen your horizons?" "What? I can enter the Dragon Region with it?" Ajax was shocked when he heard Mostror''s words. Even though Ajax had already entered the Dragon Region once in the past, he was not able to venture into that world and was quickly sent back. Moreover, ording to what Ajax knew that no anyone can enter the Dragon Region. So, he was surprised when his master had something that could send him to one of the normal worlds in the Dragon Region. ''Ding, Item Name: Teleportation Token. Connected World: Stormfire Wyvern World. Information: An item that can be used to instantly teleport to the connected world. It can only be used two times. One time is to enter the world and the second time is to leave the world. After that, the token will turn into nothing. While Ajax was shocked by Mostror''s words, the system had already shown him the information about the token. "Yes." Looking at the shocked expression on Ajax''s face, Mostror felt good and a little proud as he started exining, "In one of my adventures, just like how you got lucky and be an Emperor realm cultivator, I encountered a Stormfire Wyvern and became friends." "At that time, he was much weaker than me and I happened to save him a lot of times. When we were returning to our worlds, he gave me that token." "Only then, I got to know that he was the only son of the Stormfire Wyvern Emperor who was an emperor for a normal dragon world in the Dragon Region." Saying up to there, Mostror stopped recalling the past and said, "Enter the Stormfire Wyvern World and temper your body with the Stormfire which ranked 92nd in the top 100 fires in the universe." "Huh? There is a ranking for fires in this universe?" Chapter 1590 Interesting Legend "I don''t know exactly when, but around one thousand years ago, the existence of the Falmes that gained sentience appeared in the universe. These fires are renowned for their exceptional strength, unique properties, and the level of devastation they can unleash. Each fire on the list is assigned a ranking based on its potency, mastery, and the legends surrounding it. ording to one of the records found in the Dark Region, it was said that there were exactly 100 sentient mes in the universe along with their names and properties. Soon, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror started exining to Ajax about the sentient mes. "100 sentient mes with the ranking?" Ajax became interested in the topic as he vaguely remembered that his Grandpa Boron mentioned them in the past. "Also, there was an interesting legend around these sentient mes that makes the peak emperor realm cultivators go crazy about it." Mostror could tell that Ajax was interested in the sentient mes and decided to tell more about them It was because Ajax had already be an Emperor realm cultivator and it was his duty as a master to let his disciple know about the things that his disciple doesn''t know. "Interesting Legend? What is it, master?" Ajax was already interested in the sentient mes and when he heard ''Interesting legend'', Ajax curiously asked Mostror. "Once an Emperor realm cultivator fully awakens a Divine Rule, then he could trigger the tribtion from the Heavenly Human Realm. Once that cultivator passes the tribtion, he could ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm." Mostror already learned that Ajax knows about Divine Rules. So, he asked Ajax what would happen after fully awakening the Divine Rule. "I already know that master. Where is the Interesting Legend surrounding the Sentient mes in that?" Ajax frowned as he asked his master. "Wait¡­wait¡­I will talk about it in a while." However, Mostror doesn''t seem to be in a hurry to talk about the Interesting Legend surrounding the Sentient mes as he continued, "In thest one thousand years, only 10 cultivators triggered the tribtion from the Heavenly Human Realm, 8 re-cultivated beasts and 20 demon cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm and Heavenly Demon Realm respectively." ''Huh? Only 38 cultivators triggered the tribtion in thest 1000 years from the entire universe?'' Ajax was a little shocked by such a low probability of triggering the tribtion from the three different realms. Even though Ajax guessed it is difficult to upgrade a cultivator''s soul into a Divine Rule, he didn''t expect that only 10 cultivators to fully awaken the divine rules from the human race to trigger the tribtion from the Heavenly Human Realm. ''Compared to humans, demons can fully awaken the Divine Rules. Who said that demons have the worstprehension? From the numbers, itpletely proves that statement wrong.'' Ajax evenpared the humans and demons for a moment before focusing on Mostror''s words. "Can you guess how many of these 38 peak emperor realm cultivators had sessfully passed the tribtion and ascended to the Heavenly realms?" After giving some basic information, Mostror asked Ajax to guess the number of sessfully ascended cultivators. ''I heard the tribtion is hard and it might be less than 50 percent¡­no¡­it will be less than 60 percent.'' Ajax thought about it for a moment before guessing, "10 cultivators?" "No¡­only one cultivator passed that tribtion and sessfully ascended." Mostror didn''t keep Ajax in suspense for long in answering. "What? Only one cultivator? Who is it, master?" Ajax was expecting what he said was already very low; however, he didn''t expect to hear that only one cultivator passed the trial. At the same time, he was also curious about the cultivator who was able to go against the Heavens and sessfully ascend to a higher realm.I think you should take a look at "It was a re-cultivated beast¡­I think he called himself, the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor." Mostror was satisfied to see the shocked look on Ajax''s face as he said about the cultivator who passed the tribtion. "What? Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor?" Ajax felt it was a familiar name and soon, he recognised where he heard that name. Back when he first entered the Five Elemental World, the tribe leader said about their Ancestor, the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor who left the world after bing an Emperor Realm Cultivator. "Do you know about that re-cultivated beast?" Mostror asked with a curious look on his face. Even though he was an ascended beast, there was not much information about that so-called Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor. The only thing that Mostror knew about the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor was that he belonged to one of the top forces in the Dragon Region. When he saw Ajax act like it was a familiar name, Mostror became curious and asked Ajax about it. "One of my contracted beasts is the descendant of that person and all his descendants became my followers." Ajax replied with a bitter smile as he thought of Snow who was waiting for him to revive her. "Interesting." Mostror nodded his head and said, "Look after those descendants and protect them to the best of your efforts. There might be a chance that one of those descendants might achieve what their ancestor did." "Moreover, if you encounter the Heavenly Lightning Hawk Emperor in the future after you ascend, he might help you by looking after his descendants." "Anyway, let''se to the main point." Soon, Mostror shook the unnecessary thoughts from his mind and continued, "The reason why I gave you the statistics about the cultivators who triggered the tribtion and who passed the tribtion was to let you know how hard it is to pass the tribtion." "Upgrading your cultivator''s soul into a Divine Rule and fully awakening that Divine Rule were two difficult challenges before triggering the tribtion." Mostror became serious as he exined, "As for passing the tribtion was the most difficult challenger for the peak emperor realm cultivators in their entire life." "I understood what you were saying, master." Ajax already understood what his master was trying to say and he already knew how difficult it was to fully awaken the Divine Rule. Even though he didn''t upgrade his cultivator''s souls into Divine Rules, he had directly awakened two Divine Rules. One was from the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique and the other one was from the mission with the system''s help. But still, it only awakened 1 percent and 0.01 percent for the Divine Thunder Rule and the Divine Demonic Rule respectively. And to increase the percentage of awakening, Ajax needed to use the World Cores. From this alone, Ajax could understand how hard it was and it would only be more difficult. "Good. You are the youngest Emperor Realm cultivator I have seen and hence you have a high chance of passing the tribtions with enough preparations." When he saw Ajax''s eyes, Mostror nodded his head with satisfaction. "Now, it''s time for the Interesting Legend about the Sentient mes and I am only telling this to you because I feel you are the only person who might be able to prove whether that legend was true or false." After keeping Ajax in suspense for a while, Mostror finally said, "As long as someone tempers their body with these 100-ranked mes along with a Divine Dragon''s Blessing, they could directly ascend to the Heavenly Realms without any tribtion." Chapter 1591 Ancient Summoner Gods Bloodline "Huh? Body tempering with the 100 Sentient mes along with a Divine Dragon''s Blessing?" When Ajax heard the so-called Interesting Legend surrounding the Sentient mes, he was not surprised. Instead, he thought, ''Isn''t it a little simr to collecting all Heavenly Demonic God Statues along with a Divine Dragon''s Blessing for the Demons to ascend to Heavenly Demon Realm without any Tribtion?'' "And now, I am giving you a chance to let you temper your body with the Stormfire in the Stormfire Wyvern World. With your age, you can pursue that legend of tempering your body with different sentient mes." Mostror was a little disappointed when he saw Ajax didn''t show any emotion after hearing about the Interesting Legend. Nevertheless, Mostror still informed Ajax of the reason why he wanted Ajax to enter the Stormfire Wyvern World. "Master, you are saying it is a Legend and you still want me to pursue that legend?" Previously, Mostror used to say to Ajax that there was no need to believe in the baseless legends; instead, create a legend of his own. However, now, his master was asking Ajax to temper his body with the 100 sentient mes and ascend him to the Heavenly Human Realm. "Haha¡­I am not asking you topletely follow that legend; instead, I want you to prove to the entire universe whether that so-called interesting legend was true or false." Mostrorughed at Ajax''s question as he exined. "Since you are less than 20 years old, I believe that you can start travelling different worlds and find ways to undergo the body tempering with different sentient mes." Mostror thought about it for a moment before saying, "Of course, with each Sentient me body tempering, your body will be a lot stronger and the stronger your body is, the higher your chances of enduring the tribtion." "With your strength, you can only go through the body tempering with the Sentient mes that are ranked 80 and above." "I have a few connections and sources and help you in tempering your body with as many sentient mes as possible after you sessfully temper your body with the Stormfire." "Also,...." Soon, Mostror continued to exin the various benefits of undergoing body tempering with Sentient mes; however, he said that he could only reveal the information about other mes after hepletes his first body tempering with the Stormfire which was ranked 92nd in the list. "Thank you, master." Ajax felt warm when he heard that his master would help him as much as he could so that he could ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. "There is no need to thank me because I am doing this for my selfish reason." Mostror slightly smiled and said, "I want to brag that my disciple has sessfully ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm." "I will try my best in ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm, master." Ajax shook his head at Mostror''s words; however, he swore to do his best and ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. Of course, just because he swore it, Ajax won''t be able toplete it overnight as it might take decades or even a couple of centuries. Also, Ajax still has a lot of things to do in this universe and it would take some time before he could officially walk on the goal of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. "So, when are you going to use that Teleportation Token?" Mostror had never seen someone who worked as hard as Ajax while farming for Bloodline Energy in his training grounds. So, of course, he believed that Ajax won''t ck in his cultivation and try his best in ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. Nevertheless, he was curious about when Ajax was nning to use the Token. As a master, it was his duty to provide knowledge and resources and making full use of them would be entirely dependent on the disciple. "I have a little work to do. As soon as Iplete it, I will use that token." Ajax had already nned to do something after meeting his master. Hence, Ajax was going with his n and decided to use the token afterpleting it. "Okay." Mostror nodded his head as he warned, "When you enter the Stormfire Wyvern World, don''t offend anyone and just focus on your body tempering." "I understood, master." Ajax nodded his head before asking, "By the way, master, I am nning to see whether your bloodline training grounds are still useful to upgrade my bloodlines. Can you release the strongest beast avatar in your training ground?" One of the main reasons why Ajax came to see his master was to test whether he could upgrade his newly gained bloodlines.I think you should take a look at Ajax had gained one bloodline [Divine Astralwalker Bloodline] by unlocking the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique and as for the second one, it was his sealed bloodline from the past. Since he became an Emperor Realm Cultivator that bloodline was unlocked. It was called [Ancient Summoner God''s Bloodline]. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Divine Astralwalker Bloodline (Level 0). Grade: Demi-God Grade. Basic Effect: 1) Upon using this bloodline, the host''s spirit consciousness could travel to other worlds in the universe in a camouge mode. 2) The user''s spirit consciousness could block a single attack below the God-level attacks. 3) The user''s spirit attacks would cause 100 percent damage to his enemies. Note: The basic effect [2] and [3] are passive effects that don''t require the user to activate the bloodline as they would be automatically triggered. Special Skill: 1) Astral Projection (Locked): Individuals with the Divine Astralwalker Bloodline can project their consciousness beyond the physical realm. They can travel through the astral ne, exploring distant realms, and essing hidden knowledge and secrets. Note: Upon sessfully ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm, the bloodline''s grade will be upgraded to God Grade and the special skill will be unlocked when the bloodline is upgraded to level 1. ''Ding, Bloodline Name: Ancient Summoner God''s Bloodline (Level 0). Grade: Divine Grade. Effects: 1) Upon activation, the battle prowess of the user''s contracted elemental spirits will be temporarily increased by 10 times. 2) The user can temporarily merge the elemental spirits belonging to the same element to be stronger elemental spirits. 3) The user can use any skills of his elemental spirits without any restraint after activating the bloodline. Note: Upgrading the bloodline would unlock new skills. Bloodline Duration: Five Minutes. Cooldown: One hour. Both of his new bloodlines were at level 0 and Ajax thought whether he could gain some Bloodline Points to upgrade his bloodlines to level 1. Hence, he wanted to test in the Bloodline Training Grounds that his master owns. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Ajax threw two simple punches at the two emperor realm beasts and they disappeared into tiny light particles. ''Ding, The host killed Bloodline Avatars created by his master and gained no bloodline points. ''Sigh'' Ajax shook his head and sighed after reading the system notification. ''It looks like it is very hard to upgrade these bloodlines in this universe.'' Judging from the grades of his two bloodlines, Ajax felt that they were very high grades for the current universe. "It''s useless, master." Ajax informed his master and after speaking about a few things, Ajax left the Bloodline Training Grounds and entered the Trading Realm to meet Jade Dragonling. Chapter 1592 Meeting Jade Dragonling Again Currently, Ajax only has one cultivator''s soul and it was none other than the [Orb of the Death]. With its help, Ajax could revive anyone below the King Realm and of course, he could not revive someone that he killed himself. ''Even though I have a heaven-defying cultivator''s soul, I can''t make full use of it because of its low level.'' After being unable to use that cultivator''s soul to revive Snow, Ajax was frustrated a lot and he decided to upgrade that soul to the maximum. So, in case another one of his elemental spirits or a contracted spirit beast dies, he could use that cultivator''s soul to revive them. And the fastest way for Ajax to upgrade his cultivator''sws or souls would be by entering the Jade Pool in the Greater Jade Dragon''s World. In the special Trader''s waiting area, a young dragonling munching on delicious fruits as he asionally looked in the direction of the entrance to the waiting area for someone. "Big Brother, congrattions on your breakthrough to the Emperor Realm." As soon as he saw a young man with a mask enter the special waiting area, the young dragonling became excited and hurriedly rushed to wee him. However, he noticed that the young man had broken through to Emperor Realm and hurriedly congratted him. The Jade Dragonling didn''t know Ajax''s real name because Ajax didn''t disclose it to anyone in the Trader''s Realm. After all, if his real identity was disclosed, he would be targeted by all major forces in the real world. "Thank you." Ajax nodded his head as he directly came to the main point, "Little Brother, have you heard about ranked Sentient mes?" Since it was a special trader''s realm, other than Jade Dragonling and Ajax, there was no one else. Hence, they don''t have to worry about someone eavesdropping on them. "Ranked Sentient mes? Of course, I know, Big Brother." Jade Dragonling looked like a young boy around the age of 12-13 years old; however, he was already a peak king realm beast. Of course, his real age would be around 50 years but still, he likes to call Ajax, Big Brother. By now, Ajax was already used to it and didn''t mind Jade Dragonling calling him because the other party was the son of the Jade Dragon Emperor who owns a Greater Jade Dragon World. So, when he heard Jade Dragonling''s words, Ajax was not surprised as he already expected a positive reply from him. "Do you happen¡­." "What''s more, my father owns a ranked sentient me. Since you are speaking about the Sentient mes, I think you want to undergo a body tempering with the sentient mes, right?" "But, it was a rank 50 Sentient me and I don''t think a newly ascended Emperor Realm cultivator could survive the body tempering with my father''s Jade Fire." Before Ajax could say anything, the young Jade Dragonling guessed what Ajax wanted. "Yes." Ajax was not embarrassed to nod his head because he was nning to exchange the world core in return for letting him undergo the Body Tempering with the Sentient mes. Even though Ajax was expecting that the Jade Dragon Emperor would have a sentient me, he didn''t expect the sentient me to be ranked at 50. "It''s alright!" However, Ajax was not worried too much about it as he said, "For now, I am only collecting the information on the mes such that when my body is strong enough I will undergo the body tempering." That''s right! Ajax heard from Mostror that the Sentient mes were very powerful and even peak emperor realm cultivators might be injured if they were not careless. Moreover, Ajax wanted to experience how powerful those sentient mes were and how powerful his own body was.I think you should take a look at In the past, Ajax had undergone the body tempering from different mes, and lightning. So, he nned to get a rough estimation by undergoing the body tempering with the Storm Fire before focusing on the other Ranked Sentient mes. "Can you collect all the information about the Sentient mes and help me connect with the owner of the Sentient mes." After thinking for a moment, Ajax said, "Of course, I will give the smaller world cores in exchange depending on the information and connecting me with the owner of the Sentient mes." "Really?" Hearing Ajax''s words, Jade Dragonling became excited and thought, ''Father has so many connections and with his help, I can easily help Big Brother to find 10 Sentient mes.'' ''And, if Father goes all out, he could help Big Brother with another 10 Sentient Falmes.'' Jade Dragonling was over the moon because it was a huge business opportunity for him. ''With more world cores, the chances of my parents ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm will be greatly increased.'' "Yes. I will keep my promise." Ajax looked at the excited Jade Dragonling and nodded his head with a slight smile. "Good¡­good¡­from today onwards, I willpletely focus on this." Jade Dragonling looked determined as he assured Ajax with his words. "The other thing is about the Jade Pool. I want to enter the Jade Pool again and here is the payment for that entry." With a thought, a smaller world core appeared in Ajax''s hand which made the Jade Dragonling''s eyes shine with the ''world core'' symbol in its eyes. "I already know Big Brother would want to use the Jade Pool. So, I urged my father to triple the Jade Gathering Stones in the Jade Pool." Jade Dragonling took the smaller world core from Ajax''s hand and exined, "The energy inside the pool is already full and Big Brother can enter anytime now." While saying that, the Dragonling took out a talisman from his storage ring to give it to Ajax. "Instead of a Temporary Teleportation Talisman, I want a Teleportation Token to your Greater Jade Dragon World." However, Ajax didn''t take it; instead, he asked for the Teleportation Token simr to the token he received from his Master a couple of hours back. "Teleportation Token?" Jade Dragonling frowned for a moment before saying, "For that, I need to go back and request my father about it. If you don''t mind, can you wait for a few minutes, Big Brother?" Even though the Jade Dragonling looks silly and acts carefree, it knows how to be careful. If an Emperor gives away the Teleportation Token of his world to others, they can enter his world at any time and if such a token falls into a powerful cultivator''s hands with evil intentions, then it would be the end of that world. Hence, the Jade Dragonling intention said that he would request his father; instead, of saying he would ask his father. It is to show that Jade Dragonling really wants Ajax toe to his world and of course, he was not nning to really beg his father; instead, he would just inform him about Ajax''s request. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head and saw Jade Dragonling disappear from the special waiting area while Ajax started nning his next course of action. ''I hope Wing couldpletely take over the Golden Demon Territory within 20 days so that I can get a great number of world cores before entering the Floating Ind.'' Chapter 1593 Celestial Dawn Realm At the same time, in another special Trader''s Waiting Space, In the room, there were four old men and an old woman sitting on majestic-looking chairs that were arranged in a circle. "Since we havepleted this month''s transaction, I will announce something now." An old man wearing pure white robes slowly said, "My Celestial Dawn Sect will be opening a portal to the Celestial Dawn realm in a month." "What? You are opening the portal to the Celestial Dawn again?" "Didn''t you just open it a decade ago? If you open it so soon, won''t it affect the benefits?" "Yes, Theron. I feel the same; however, I don''t think you will be opening it without a proper reason. Can you tell us the reason?" While the three old men and the old woman were worried about the sudden opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, an old man stroked his bread and asked the old man named Theron. "Casimir, you are right!" Theron, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect revealed a slight smile as he continued, "However, I can''t reveal that due to the Celestial Oath." ''Damn this¡­cunning b*stard.'' ''There he goes again¡­if I get a chance, I will punch him to death and crush his soul into nothingness.'' . . Hearing Theron''s words, the remaining members in the room cursed him under their breath. The five old members were none other than the sect leaders of the top five sects in the Human Region of the universe. Once in a while, they would meet in the Trader''s Realm and exchange the specialities of their sects and territories and today was another one of those days for them. However, afterpleting the transaction, the sect leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect informed them about a piece of special news rted to their sect. Even though the other sect leaders were happy, they wondered why the Celestial Dawn Sect opened the Celestial Dawn Realm ahead of time. "Anyway, since we agreed to inform you about the opening of our special realms one month ahead of time, I am informing you about it." When he saw everyone remained silent, Theron could guess they were cursing him; however, he was not bothered about their curses in the least bit as he said whatever he wanted to say. "Also, you don''t have to worry about the benefits inside the Celestial Dawn Realm. ording to the Chief Elder, the age restrictions on the Celestial Dawn Realm are weakened a little as anyone below the age of 500 can enter it now." Suddenly, Theron revealed a slight smile as he waited to see the reactions of the other sect leaders. "What? Anyone below the age of 500 can enter the Celestial Dawn Realm?" "The age restriction was lifted from 100 to 500. What exciting good news!" "If it is 500, then except for my first 100 children, the remaining 900 children can enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, right?" As Theron expected, the four sect leaders were thoroughly shocked by Theron''s words, making Theron extremely satisfied. Not only was the Sect Leader excited about it, they even started nning about sending the members from the top echelon. "Yes." Theron nodded his head as he said, "Because of this, the Celestial Dawn Realm is nning to increase the entry fee into the Celestial Dawn Realm by 10 times." "What?" "You are increasing the entry fee by 10 times?" "You¡­"I think you should take a look at The excitement from the faces of the four sect leaders from a few moments back suddenly disappeared as their facial expressions darkened. "Even though it increased 10 times, I still feel it is quite low because the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm would be changing the fates of your sect." Theron had already expected such a strong reaction from the other sect leaders; however, he had already prepared a speech for them. "You have an entire territory filled with various resources and each sect is quite rich. As long as you spend this one time and send as many cultivators as possible into the Celestial Dawn Realm, the stronger your sects will be." "Moreover, do you know the price for those lizards from the Dragon Region? It''s 100 times. Since we are all humans, we kept the price very low." "After returning from the Celestial Dawn Realm, the Human Race should be more powerful than those Lizard Race from the Dragon Region of the universe." "Also, other than our five sects, no one knows about the news of the Celestial Dawn Realm and it would be officially announced after 15 days. So, you better prepare everything for the Celestial Dawn Realm." "Anyway, I am leaving now as we have a lot of things to take care of thanks to the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm." Theron ended his speech and without waiting for their replies, he directly left the Trader''s Realm. "Damn it¡­this b*stard¡­will be more and more powerful with all our resources." "What can we do about it? Our realms are not as special as the Celestial Dawn Realm." "Shall we do the same thing we did to the World Conquering Sect? The justice- upholding mission?" After Theron left, one old man cursed, and another one bitterly shook his head and epted the fact that their own realms were not as special as the Celestial Dawn Realm. However, the sect leader of the Shadow Veil Sect, Morgana suggested an evil n. "Morgana, do you think that mission would be sessful against the Celestial Dawn Sect?" Casimir, the sect leader of the Sacred Heavenly Sect scoffed at Morgana and exined, "The World Conquering Sect was just a sect that relied on their ability to sell the World Cores to be a top sect. They didn''t have much of a fighting ability." "However, the Celestial Dawn Sect was not like that. Not only was it quite rich, but it also had a fighting ability that was more than our sects." Casimir rubbed his forehead as he reminded them, "Also, don''t forget that it was the oldest sect among our five sects and there is still the Chief Elder whose strength we don''t have any clear estimations." "Now, tell me. Do you still want to do a Righteous Mission on the Celestial Dawn Sect?" After exining everything, Casimir asked Morgana with a mocking look on his face. "So, are we letting the Celestial Dawn Sect be more and more powerful like that?" Morgana''s face turned dark as she looked at Casimir and the other two old men. "..." Oberon and Giden, the sect leaders of the Radiant Sun Order and the Five Elemental Sect remained silent as they thought of ways to destroy the Celestial Dawn Sect without harming themselves. "As far as I feel, it is better to kill everyone belonging to the Celestial Dawn Sect inside the Celestial Dawn Sect." After thinking for a moment, Gideon suggested something that everyone agreed on without any hesitation. "Even though the age restriction is weakened, we can''t send many cultivators because there are many dangers in the Celestial Dawn Realm and even the cultivators who were on the path of awakening the Divine Rules would be killed." . . "Anyway, for now, let''s go back and think more about this and select the suitable candidates to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm." After discussing for nearly an hour, the five sect leaders left the Trader''s Realm and woke up in their respective worlds. Chapter 1594 Greater Jade Dragon World ¡­.. The names of the top five sects and their sect leaders 1) Sacred Heavenly Sect - Casimir. 2) Celestial Dawn Sect - Theron. 3) Shadow Veil Sect - Morgana. 4) Five Elemental Sect - Gideon. 5) Radiant Sun Order - Oberon ... Even though the Celestial Dawn Sect said that the human race should be more powerful than the Dragon Race, they didn''t want the other sects to be more powerful than them. At the same time, the four other sects that acted righteous on the surface didn''t want the Celestial Dawn Sect to continue to be more powerful. In short, all the five sects keep each other in check and the moment any one of their sects would be growing much faster than them, they would go to any lengths to obstruct it. It was the same with the World Conquering Sect which grew rapidly until it was destroyed by the five other sects who imed that the World Conquering Sect was destroying the worlds to extract the world cores. They also imed that, ''As the righteous sects of the Human Race, it is our duty to destroy such an evil sect from the face of this universe.'' Even though many powerful human cultivators knew that the top five sects were a bunch of hypocrites, they still didn''t bother to say anything. Most of them were afraid of the top five sects whereas the others found an opportunity. In this world where strength is the only thing that matters, each has to look after their own and find opportunities to be more powerful. After returning to their sects, all the sect leaders got busy in the preparations for the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm. ¡­. In one of the Special Trader''s Wating Areas. ''Swoosh'' After waiting for an hour, the Jade Dragonling appeared in the room with a sh. "Sorry to wait for an hour, Big Brother." As soon as he appeared, the Jade Dragonling hurriedly apologized for re-entering the Trader''s Realmte. "It''s alright!" Even though he waited for an hour, Ajax was busy with his ns and preparations regarding his future. So, the time passed by in a sh for him. "Big Brother, even though it took me one hour to return, I came back with good news." Soon, the Jade Dragonling took a Jade Coloured token out of his space ring and gave it to Ajax. ''Ding, Item Name: Teleportation Token. Connected World: Greater Jade Dragon World. Note: It''s a two-time use item that could disappear after the host uses it to enter and exit the Greater Jade Dragon World. As soon as Ajax caught the token, the system sent him the information about it, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. Even though it was just a Teleportation Token, the Emperors of the world won''t give it away so easily because it would be dangerous. "Thank you, Little Jade."I think you should take a look at Ajax thanked the Jade Dragonling because thanks to the token, he could enter the Greater Jade Dragon World that was in the Dragon Region. Moreover, unlike before, he could look around the world and even visit other worlds if possible. ''I hope I can visit the other worlds in the Dragon Region.'' Since the Dragon Region was still mysterious to the human cultivators, Ajax wanted to collect as much information as possible about it. Of course, he was not nning to sell the information to others or something like that; instead, he was just curious about it. ''As long as I check out the Dragon Emperors in the Dragon Region, I will let Twilight go and venture into the Dragono Region.'' As a Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon, Ajax believed that it should learn Dragon ways and it might get some powerful inheritance belonging to a Dragon Ancestor who ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. The only reason why Ajax was not in a hurry to send Twilight into the Dragon Region was that he was worried that the Divine Dragon would be exploited by the other Dragon Emperor. ''First, I have to figure out how many Divine Dragons are there in the Dragon Region and what kind of respect the other dragon would give them.'' ''Or they would kill the Divine Dragon and devour it to increase their strength?'' Even though Ajax lived for less than 20 years, he learned to be careful from a very young age under the teachings of his Grandfather. ''It''s wiser to be cautious than to face regret.'' Hence, he still followed the same thing that he believed from a young age, ''Better be careful than sorry Until now, no one knows about Ajax''s divine dragon except for some cultivators that Ajax was close to in his worlds. Not even his master knows about Twilight as Ajax never mentioned it and Mostror didn''t monitor Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "However, Big Brother needs to wait for another seven days before you can use that token. My father suddenly informed me that he would be upgrading the Jade Pool where even the Emperor Realm cultivators could enter the pool to upgrade their cultivator''s souls." With an embarrassed face, the Jade Dragonling exined to Ajax about the dy. "Upgrading the Jade Pool?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised to hear that the Jade Pool was being upgraded because it was a good thing for him as he was nning to upgrade the [Orb of the Death] as much as possible. ''The higher the grade of the Jade Pool, the more Jade Energy it would have and the faster I can absorb and upgrade it.'' "Yes" Earlier, the Jade Dragonling said that Ajax could enter the Jade Pool right away and he even gave the Teleportation Talisman to him. However, when he returned, his father suddenly said that he wanted to upgrade the Jade Pool and once his father decides on something, he won''t listen to anyone. Hence, the Jade Dragonling could only ask Ajax to wait for seven days because his father promised that the Jade Pool would be ready in seven days. "Isn''t it a good thing to enter an upgraded Jade Poolpared to a regr Jade Pool? It''s alright! I am looking forward to entering it after seven days." Ajax thought it was only seven days and he decided to wait for the upgraded version of the Jade Pool. "Thanks for understanding, Big Brother. When youe to my world, I will be your guide and let you have the delicacies of my world." ording to his father, the Jade Dragonling had to form a good bond with Ajax and that''s the reason why he was willing to call Ajax, Big Brother. Regrly, the dragons looked down on humans; however, the Jade Dragonling didn''t dare to look down on Ajax as the other party was capable of selling world cores and his parents needs the world cores to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Since you are letting me enter an upgraded version of the Jade Pool, I will give you this [Bloodline Awakening Pills] as a gift for you and your father." After thinking for a moment, Ajax gifted the Jade Dragonling with a bottle of Bloodline Awakening Pills. "So many pills." The Jade Dragonling casually took the bottle that was filled with nearly 100 pills and thanked Ajax without asking about them. "Let''s meet in seven days." Since the other party was from a Greater World Core, Ajax didn''t bother to exin about the pills and left the Trader''s Realm. Chapter 1595 Special Notice Service In the Normal Dwarf World, ''Swoosh'' Ajax''s spirit consciousness returned to Ajax''s body from the Trader''s Realm as he opened his eyes in his mansion in the Normal Dwarf World. "I still have seven days left before entering the Jade Pool. Until then, I should just enter the Stormfire Wyvern World and undergo the body tempering with the Stormfire." Even though his ns got changed, Ajax was looking forward to it because entering the Upgrade Jade Pool was very beneficial for him. At the same time, dying it for seven days won''t affect his ns in any way. "Should I enter the Stormfire Wyvern World the right way?" With a thought, a token appeared in Ajax''s hand as he wondered whether he had any other things to do before entering the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''Let''s justplete my first body tempering with the Sentient mes.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax remembered something and re-entered the Trader''s Realm. Previously, there used to be a limit to the number of times that Ajax could enter the Trader''s Realm; however, after he was promoted to the High-level Trader''s Realm, there were no limits for him on entering and exiting the Trader''s Realm. ¡­. In the upper level of the trader''s realm, "I want to post a request for something on the notice board?" Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly went to a ce where the traders could post their requests on a notice board. This notice board is visible to everyone and whenever a trader enters the Trader''s realm, they would get an alert regarding that request from this special service. Of course, it is the costliest special service that regr cultivators could use. This special service is mainly used by some top-level sects. Right now, Ajax wanted to use that service to find something and as for the price, Ajax was quite rich and was willing to pay it. "Sir Trader, please say what you are looking for and what is the price you are willing to pay for it." One of the female attendants asked Ajax with a bright smile on her face. There were only a few traders who would use their ''Special Notice Service'' and each one of these traders would have a special identity. Hence, she was very respectful to Ajax while asking for more information. "nt Essence." Ajax said the thing he wanted and continued, "One drop of nt Essence for one billion Trader''s Tokens." "The limit is 100 billion Trader''s Tokens which are still in my ount. You can deduct it while you collect the nt essence." Ajax didn''t waste any time as he ended his words by saying, "As for your 10 percent service fee, I know it is 10 billion Trader''s Tokens." "Yes, sir." The female attendant noted down all the details and respectfully informed Ajax, "Your service will be kept on the Notice Board from tomorrow, Sir Trader." "Okay. If there is nothing, I will take my leave." Since all the funds are still in his trader''s ount, Ajax didn''t have to pay any advance to them and the service fee will be charged after the transaction. So, Ajax quietly left the trader''s realm and after returning to the Normal Dwarf''s World, Ajax activated the Teleportation Token to the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a huge portal opened in front of him and without thinking much, Ajax directly entered the portal. Even though the portal was huge, ording to limitations or restrictions ced on the token, only one person can enter the portal. As soon as Ajax entered the portal, it closed.I think you should take a look at ¡­.. In the Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' Just like how Ajax opened his eyes in his world, the Jade Dragonling also returned to the Greater Jade Dragon World. The first thing the Jade Dragonling did after waking up was to go and visit his father. "How did it go? Did he ept the offer?" As soon as he entered his father''s cultivation chamber, Jade Dragonling heard his father''s voice. In the cultivator chamber, a handsome middle-aged man was exuding an air of power and wisdom. Seeing that his son was rushing towards him, he asked the Jade Dragonling in a calm tone. He was none other than the Jade Dragonling''s father, the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, the ruler of the Great Jade Dragon World. "Yes, Father. Big Brother said he doesn''t mind waiting for the upgraded version of the Jade Pool." Jade Dragonling answered in an excited tone as he continued, "Moreover, he even gave this bottle of pills as we are letting him enter the Upgraded Jade Pool." "Huh? A bottle of pills?" Jade Dragon Emperor raised his brows as he took the bottle of the pills from his son and took one of the pills out of the bottle. ''T-these are Bloodline Awakening Pills¡­he casually gave you a bottle of Bloodline Awakening Pills just like that?'' When the Jade Dragon Emperor saw the pills closely, he recognized them and was shocked. "Father, are these pills very valuable?" Looking at the shocked look on his father''s face, the Jade Dragonling asked with a curious look. The Jade Dragonling''s knowledge of alchemy and the pills was very limited. So, he didn''t know about them. "They are very rare even in the Human Region, not to mention they could be considered Treasures in the Dragon Region." Soon, the Jade Dragon Emperor''s shocked expression turned into excitement as he exined the effects of the Bloodline Awakening Pills to his son. "What? They are that valuable?" The Jade Dragonling was shocked for a moment before saying, "I didn''t expect Big Brother to give us such valuable pills to me." When he received those pills from Ajax, he thought they would be valuable; however, he didn''t expect these Bloodline Awakening Pills would be considered ''Treasures'' by his father. The thing is, there were almost no alchemists in the Dragon Race and the only alchemists in the Dragon Region are those from the Elf race who seek protection from the Dragon Race. However,pared to the humans, the learning ability of the Elves was not much. So, there were only a few alchemists in the entire Dragon Region. What''s more, there were less than 10 King Grade alchemists in the entire Dragon Region who could refine normal King Grade Pills whereas there were no Emperor Grade Alchemists at all. Hence, even though these Bloodline Awakening Pills were rare for the Human Cultivators from the human race, the same pills were considered Treasures in the eyes of the Dragons. "Didn''t I say that human cultivator¡­what was his name again? His background is not simple and maintains a good rtionship with him." The Jade Dragon Emperor, Jae warned his son to be respectful to Ajax. "I am very respectful to him and will continue to do that, father." Dragonling seriously nodded his head. "He has world cores, a top-notch king-grade alchemist behind him. Do you know what other things he was selling in the Trader''s realm?" "Also, if he wants weapons, we can give him some powerful legend-grade weapons." Jae thought about it and asked his son about a few things rted to Ajax that he didn''t ask before. Chapter 1596 Stormfire Wyvern World Even though the Dragons might becking in the pills, they have thousands of Dwarf Worlds in which there were more than a hundred of them Greater Dwarf Worlds in the Dragon Region. Just like the Evles, these Dwarves seek protection from the Dragons in exchange for weapons at a cheap price. Hence, Jae thought he should give Ajax some powerful legend-grade weapons. "I don''t think Big Brother has any interest in the Legend Grade Weapons." However, the Jade Dragonling shook his head as he continued, "I once noticed him sell arge quantity of Legend-Grade weapons in the Trader''s Realm through the auction houses." "What? He even has a good weaponsmith behind him?" Jae had a headache when he heard his son''s words. As a member of the Dragon Race, Jae didn''t want to be always on the receiving end and wanted to give Ajax something. However, he could not think of something that could help them be close to Ajax so that they could help each other. "Father, when hees to our world, we can just ask him about what he wants." Dragonling looked at his father for a moment before suggesting that. "Anyway, I am going to Mother to hear the Legendary Tales of the Jade Dragon God." After giving his suggestion, Jade Dragonling didn''t bother to wait for his father''s reply as he hurriedly rushed out of his father''s cultivation chamber. "This son of mine¡­." Jae shook his head with a slight smile on his face and concluded, "His suggestion was not bad. I will just ask him what he wants and I will try my best in getting those items through my channels." "Anyway, let''s have to speed up my progress in my Divine Rule andpletely awaken it before she can''t suppress it anymore." Looking in the direction that the Jade Dragonling rushed into, Jae became serious and went back to his cultivation which was surrounded by pure jade stones. As soon he started cultivating his Divine Rule, all the pure jade stones around him started shining as tiny light particles entered Jae''s body slowly but steadily. ¡­. In the Stormfire Wyvern World, ''Swoosh'' A portal opened and Ajax walked out of it with a cautious look on his face. The Stormfire Wyvern World is a normal world that is located at the border between the Dragon Region and the Human Region. Nevertheless, it was still a world that was officially in the Dragon Region and recognized by the entire Dragon Race. As for the world, the skies of this World are almost always filled with swirling storm clouds whereas thends were marked by volcanic activity and fiery rivers could be seen everywhere. These fiery rivers moved in the direction of the storms and as for their destiny, Ajax was unable to see it. Despite the wild and vtile nature of the Stormfire Wyvern World, there is a bnce and harmony between the elements of storms and fire. Most of the inhabitants of this world are wyverns and they have adapted to this environment. Using their natural affinity for fire and their ability to ride the storm winds, their world became a haven for these Stormfire Wyverns. "If not for my cultivation and previous body tempering, it would be suffocating for other human cultivators." Even Ajax felt a little difort the moment he entered the Stormfire World and he thought that it would be extremely difficult for the other human cultivators. ''Also, just by staying in this world, my body will be a lot stronger thanks to the elements of Wind and Fire.''I think you should take a look at It wasmon to feel difort when changing ces, not to mention, Ajax had entered apletely new world where two elements of forces were in harmony. ''Those might be the Wyvern Nest in those craggy peaks and cliffs.'' Other than the fiery rivers and stormy winds, Ajax saw some wyvern nests in the distant mountains. "I see a human over there. Is he the one we are looking for?" "He might be the one that came just now using the Teleportation Token. Be respectful if you don''t want to offend the guest of the world." As Ajax was checking out the environment of the Stormfire Wyvern world, two humanoid Wyverns flew towards Ajax andnded in front of him. "Can I know the name of the Respected Guest and the Teleportation Token?" Even though they were ordered to bring the guests that enter their world through the Teleportation Token, the two Wyvern Guards would check whether the person was a guest of their world or a thief that came through some mysterious ways. Hence, the first Wyvern guard asked Ajax for his name and some details to prove his identity. Unlike the many worlds in the Human Region and the Demon Region, almost all the recognized worlds in the Dragon Region were protected by a special barrier called [Dargon God''s Barrier]. This barrier is so strong that even the peak emperor realm cultivators would need some time to break it. Hence, to enter such worlds, one needed to have permission from the Emperor of that world or a Teleportation Token that consisted of the energy of the Emperor of that world. Also, when someone enters the world through the Teleportation Token, it would be known by the Emperor and the other powerful cultivators that were in charge of world security. That''s the reason why these two Wyvern Guards knew that Ajax was able to enter the world through the Teleportation Token. "My name is Ajax and I received this token from my master Mostror. I heard the token was given to my master by the prince of this world, Dakon." Ajax had already learned about the security process from his master. So, he said the lines he had prepared beforeing to the world. "Prince Dakon?" Soon, the two guards became alert and saw the royal symbol on the Teleportation Token that Ajax was holding, making them a little tense. "Wee to the Stormfire Wyvern World, young master Ajax." As soon as they learned that the token was rted to their future emperor of the world, the Wyvern Guards became even more respectful as they hurriedly guided them to the royal city named Stormfire City. "Young Master Ajax, please stay in this guest pce. We will inform Prince Dakon about your arrival." After arranging everything for Ajax, the two guards quietly left the guest pce to inform Prince Dakon about Ajax. "Huh? A disciple of my friend has arrived?" In the Prince''s ce, Dakon was pleasantly surprised to hear that news and muttered, "So, he has finally taken a disciple. Let''s go, take me to him." Unlike the Wyvern Guards, Prince Dakon was not a humanoid wyvern; instead, he looked like a human in his 40s. Compared to Mostror, who already had long white hair and a beard, Prince Dakon looked quite young; however, Dakon was just as old as Mostror. Soon, Prince Dakon entered the guest pce and met Ajax. "Since you are Mostror''s disciple, you can call me Uncle Dakon." Prince Dakon was quite friendly with Ajax as he asked about Mostror and a few other things before saying, "You must be here for undergoing the body tempering with the Stormfire, right? If so, it won''t be that easy because you have to prove that you are worthy and capable." Chapter 1597 Exploration Of The Dark Region The reason why Prince Dakon gave the Teleportation Token to Mostror was for Mostror or any one of his disciples to undergo the body tempering with the sentient me. Hence, after talking with Ajax for a while, he directly came to the main point and at the same time, he informed Ajax that he needed to prove himself before getting an opportunity to undergo the body tempering with the sentient me. "Prove myself?" Ajax was surprised to hear that; however, when he thought about it, he could guess, ''Why would I get an opportunity to undergo the body tempering with a ranked sentient me so easily?'' Getting the Teleportation Token to the Stormfire Wyvern World was already a huge opportunity that most emperor realm cultivators could not get. From that perspective, Ajax was quite lucky to have a master like Mostror. "How do I do that?" Nevertheless, putting aside his thoughts, Ajax respectively asked Prince Dakon about it. "It is simple. You just have to kill 100 Darkfire Wraiths and bring Darkfire Crystals from their bodies. " Prince Dakon revealed a slight smile as he exined what Ajax had to do to get the opportunity to undergo body tempering. "Darkfire Wraiths? Darkfire Crystals?" Prince Dakon thought he had exined clearly; however, seeing the confused look on Ajax''s face, he concluded, "It looks like Brother Mostror didn''t exin anything to do." "Nevermind, I will exin." If it was anyone else, Prince Dakon would have not bothered to exin; however, Ajax was the disciple of a person who saved him multiple times. Hence, Prince Dakon was patient with Ajax and started exining the things that Mostror was supposed to say. "You must know about the regions in this universe, right?" Seeing Ajax nodding his head, Prince Dakon said, "The worlds that were sharing the borders of the worlds from the Dark Region always have the problem with the Dark Creatures." "Every month, these worlds from the Dragon Region and the Human Region would send a group of Emperor Realm cultivators to explore the worlds in the Dark Region and kill those dark creatures called Darkfire Wraiths." "It is because of this joint exploration of the worlds in the Dark Region, I was able to meet your Master who even fought with his fellow human cultivators to protect me while risking his life just because I gave him a single Legend Grade Weapon." Back then, Mostror was quite poor and didn''t even have the money to buy a powerful Legend Grade weapon and was using only a Heaven Grade Weapon. Because of his poverty, Mostror joined the exploration team to the worlds in the Dark Region. Prince Dakon who had a bunch of Legend Grade weapons on him casually threw one weapon to Mostror, making Mostror emotional. It was the first time that someone gifted him such a precious gift and hence Mostror didn''t hesitate to risk his life to protect Prince Dakon. "Uncle Dakon¡­wait for a second¡­my master was poor and joined the exploration team to earn some high-grade spirit stones for cultivation?" Ajax never in his dreams expected that his master was poor. So, when he heard Prince Dakon''s words, he was shocked. "Yes..yes. Even though I threw that weapon at him while mocking him that he was poor, he picked that weapon and sincerely thanked me. Not only that, he fought his fellow cultivators and risked his life to protect me." Speaking of the past, Prince Dakon could not help but have mixed emotions. "I was quite arrogant and looked down on the humans but Mostror changed my thoughts about the humans." "Uncle Dakon, if my Mostror joined the exploration realm to earn some quick bucks, why did you join it? Don''t tell me your kingdom was also poor and forced you to join the exploration team." Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and asked Prince Dakon about it. "Haha¡­I knew you would ask this question." To Ajax''s question, Prince Dakonughed before exining, "Unlike the humans who only send poor and desperate cultivators to enter the Dark Region to earn spirit stones, the cultivators from the dragon race enter the Dark Region to train and make themselves stronger."I think you should take a look at "Of course, even in the human race, there would be asionally some sect members join the exploration teams; however, as I said it is very rare." Prince Dakon exined a few more things about their Dragon Race and finally came to the main point. "Most of the worlds in the Dark Regions have only one type of creature and they are called Darkfire Wraiths and for those in the Emperor Realm, they were quite quiet to train with." Prince Dakon paused for a moment before saying, "And the answer to your first question is, you have to kill 100 of these Darkfire Wraiths and collect the Darkfire Crystals left behind by them." "As long as you can bring back 100 Darkfire Crystals from the Dark Region, you can undergo the body tempering with the Ranked Sentient me. Also, all the Stormfire Wyverns including me had to go through this process before undergoing the body tempering with that me." Prince Dakon''sst words surprised Ajax a little; however, he soon understood how things worked in the Dragon Region¡­at least in the Stormfire Wyvern World. "Coincidentally, two new exploration squads will enter the Dark Region tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If you want, I can add you to any one of those two teams. What do you say?" After finishing his exnation, Prince Dakon asked Ajax whether he wanted to join the exploration team or quit his thoughts on undergoing the body tempering with the sentient me. "I will join tomorrow''s exploration squad, Uncle Dakon." Ajax thought about it for a moment before saying that he would join the exploration squad. "That''s how a cultivator should be." Prince Dakon''s impression of Ajax increased a lot after hearing Ajax''s reply and nodded his head. "Rest for tonight. I will send someone to inform you in the morning regarding the exploration squad." After talking for a while, Prince Dakon left the Guest Pce and arranged things for Ajax. ''Even though he only needed 10 Darkfire Crystals to bring back, I want to see how special he was for Brother Mostror to give my Teleportation Token to him.'' Prince Dakon didn''t have any evil intentions towards Ajax as he was only curious about the strength of his Brother''s disciple. ''Even if he brings back 10 Darkfire Crystals, I will let him undergo the body tempering with the Stormfire.'' With that thought in mind, Prince Dakon quietly left as he ordered one of his servants to take care of Ajax''s arrangements. ¡­. In the guest pce, ''Since I still have more than 16 hours before, I will just cultivate.'' After Ajax unlocked the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique, he didn''t officially cultivate it because he wanted to test the cultivation technique''s effects inside the Jade Pool. However, it was postponed and he entered the Stormfire Wyvern World to undergo body tempering. Now, he even got a lot of time to cultivate and hence, Ajax decided to test the effects of his new cultivation technique. [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] ''Swoosh'' As soon as he started circting the cultivation technique, the essence of nature in a radius of around 100 kilometers rushed towards him and entered his body at lightning speed. ''Ding, The host has circted his main cultivation technique and gained +1 unit of Divine Essence of Nature. Chapter 1598 Powerful Guest? Just after circting his main cultivation technique [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens], Ajax felt that his body was absorbing millions of units of the Essence of Nature. He even felt that his body might explode with such an insane amount of the Essence of Nature; however, surprisingly, his spirit consciousness seemed to be still empty and hungry for more essence of nature. ''Ding, The host has circted his main cultivation technique and gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. It only took only one minute for Ajax toplete one round of cirction as he got the system notifications. ''Huh? One unit of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Looking at the system notification, Ajax raised his brows as he soon checked his spirit consciousness to confirm something. ''T-this is¡­.is this really my Spirit Consciousness?'' When he checked his spirit consciousness, Ajax could not help but doubt it. ''Ding, It is the host''s Spirit Consciousness¡­actually, it is called Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Divine Spirit Consciousness?'' Ajax seemed to remember that he heard when he was checking out the information about the [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens]. ''I remember now, after I unlocked the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], my spirit consciousness seemed to change a little.'' At that time, Ajax didn''t have the time to check the changes in his body as he got busy turning Wingo into his subordinate and forgot about the changes in the spirit consciousness. After that, he spent some time with Siora and then talked with his master before entering the Trader''s Realm toplete his other words and eventually he entered the Stormfire Wyvern World. After seeing the system notification, Ajax finally remembered the changes in his Spirit Consciousness. ''But, back then I took a brief look at my Spirit Consciousness; however, it didn''t have many changes.'' That''s the reason why Ajax didn''t bother to check his Spirit Consciousness and forgot about it. However, right now, his Spirit Consciousness changed so much that he could not even recognize it. The current spirit consciousness looked like a golden orb around the size of an adult human fist and it was surrounded by white mist. If it was not for his spirit consciousness, Ajax would have been unable to say that his spirit consciousness was gold colour and around the size of a human fist. ''Ding, After the host received the cultivation technique [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens], it slowly started upgrading the host''s Spirit Consciousness into Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, Even though the host had not circted it until now, that cultivation technique passively circted and umted enough essence of nature to slowly upgrade the host''s spirit consciousness into Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, .. ''Ding, .. Soon, the system exined the changes in his Spirit Consciousness, making Ajax easily understand it. ''In short, whatever the essence of nature that enters into my body will be converted into a Divine Essence of Nature. One unit of Divine Essence of Nature is more than one billion units of Essence Of Nature?'' Ajax was excited just thinking about it as he hurriedly asked the system to show him the information about the Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 1 unit / 100 units.I think you should take a look at ''Even though it could only hold 100 units, I can feel that it will be much more useful than my previous Spirit Consciousness. What''s more, ording to the conversion rate, these 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature could be converted into more than 100 billion units of Essence of Nature.'' Ajax knew that his [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] was a God-level cultivation technique and whatever the changes that technique brought to him could be considered a good thing. ''The main benefit of having a Divine Spirit Consciousness is that my spirit will be 10 times stronger than those in the same realm as me.'' ''Since my normal spirit consciousness was already very strongpared to the other cultivators, this additional boost will give me great immunity to the spirit attacks.'' Ajax was satisfied that his spirit had be a lot powerful that even if the peak emperor realm cultivators uses the spirit attacks, he could survive. As for his body, it was already strong; however, it was not as strong as his spirit consciousness anymore. ''However, once I started undergoing the body tempering with the Sentient mes, it would eventually be stronger.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started circting the cultivation technique to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness with the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Swoosh'' ''Whoosh'' As Ajax continued to circte, the radius from which the essence of nature gushed towards him started increasing from 100 kilometers to 110¡­120¡­and eventually it even reached 200 kilometers. ''Ding, The host has circted his main cultivation technique and gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has circted his main cultivation technique and gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. . . . Despite that, Ajax still got only one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature into his body. Of course, Ajax didn''t know that as he waspletely immersed in his cultivation. ¡­ "What''s happening?" "Where is this Essence of Nature going?" "Who has such a powerful cultivation technique? Is it Prince Dakon?" "No¡­the Essence of Nature is going into that guest pce." . . . While Ajax was immersed in his cultivation, the humanoid wyverns within a radius of 200 kilometers were shocked by the sudden movement of the Essence of Nature. Some of these wyverns followed the flow of the Essence of Nature to see who was that powerful cultivator whereas those who were close to the guest pce looked at it with a strange gaze. As a guest, how could a powerful cultivator cultivate in the world? What''s more, the rate at which Ajax was absorbing the Essence of Nature made the other cultivators irritated. Nevertheless, they didn''t dare to see it because just from this absorption speed, they could tell that the cultivator was a peak Emperor Realm Cultivator. Moreover, he was a guest of the royal pce since was staying in a special guest pce. Hence, they could only shake their heads and stop cultivating, waiting for that powerful guest to stop cultivating. Chapter 1599 Powerful Cultivation Technique In Prince Dakon''s ce, "Interesting¡­this kid has gotten his hands on a high-level Legend Grade cultivation. No wonder he was able to reach the Emperor Realm at such a young age." As a peak emperor realm cultivator, Prince Dakon was the first person who was able to recognize the sudden changes in the flow of the essence of nature and the person who was responsible for it. Looking in the direction of the Royal Guest Pce, Prince Dakon revealed an interesting look on his face. ''Even though I want to let him cultivate, it would annoy those old monsters sleeping under the Royal Pce.'' With that thought in mind, Prince Dakon flew out of the window of his room and directly entered the Royal Guest Pce. "Ajax, can I talk with you for a moment?" Prince Dakon was careful as his voice resounded in Ajax''s ears from outside the room. "Uncle Dakon?" Ajax was surprised to hear Prince Dakon as he hurriedly stopped cultivating and opened the door before inviting him. "I know it is not polite to say this but can you not cultivate?" Without wasting any time, Prince Dakon exined themotion that Ajax caused, making Ajax extremely shocked. "I am sorry for causing trouble for Uncle Dakon and the other cultivators within the radius of 200 kilometers." Ajax hurriedly apologized as he thought, ''Damn it¡­I was too careless.'' From the beginning, Ajax was always careful with his actions and today, he became careless as he was excited about his Divine Spirit Consciousness and the new God-level Cultivation Technique. "Actually, for cultivation, there are special cultivation chambers with special Essence Gathering Arrays, Essence Multiplier Arrays and many other arrays in it." Prince Dakon exined, "However, they should be booked in advance and I can help you get it with my status." "But, you are about to enter the Dark Region tomorrow and you should have some good rest." As the Crown Prince of the Stormfire Wyvern World, there was nothing that Prince Dakon could not get in this world. However, he suggested Ajax not use the Special Cultivation Chambers for now. "I understand, Uncle Dakon." Ajax revealed a slight smile and nodded his head at Prince Dakon before assuring, "I will not cultivate for tonight and rest properly." "Good." Soon, Prince Dakon returned to his pce and entered his Special Cultivation Chamber which has hundreds of arrays in it. ''The younger generation is catching up to us. I should stop cking and seriously start my cultivation.'' Maybe he was motivated by Ajax''s speed of cultivation or whatever the factor it was, Prince Dakon decided to enter seclusion after informing one of his servants to take care of Ajax during his Dark Region Exploration. ¡­. In the Royal Guest Pce, ''It looks like I should not cultivate wherever I want to.'' After Prince Dakon left, Ajax swore in his heart and decided to cultivate only in his worlds or in the worlds that he nned to destroy. ''Anyway, I can still get the partial essence of nature whenever my Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts kill the other creatures. So, there is no need to circte the main cultivation technique and attract attention.'' Of course, whatever the essence of nature enters his body would be automatically converted into the Divine Essence of Nature before entering his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Moreover, since he could only store 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax didn''t have to worry too much about it as he could easily fill it. ''The most important thing is I can''t let anyone know that I have a God-level Cultivation Technique unless I want to get hunted by the cultivators from the entire universe.'' Another reason why he didn''t want to use it was that he didn''t want others to know about his [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] God-level technique. ''Even though the [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] was a God-level cultivation technique, thankfully, it was still a level 1 technique, making Prince Dakon think that it was a peak Legend Grade Technique.'' In the human region, there were even cultivators who would hunt you down to get the peak legend-grade cultivation technique.I think you should take a look at Thankfully, he was in the Dragon Region and Prince Dakon seemed to have a Mythical Grade Cultivation Technique. Hence, he didn''t eye for Ajax''s cultivation technique which he assumed to be a peak-legend grade technique. ''System, show me how many units I have collected?'' Keeping those thoughts in his mind, Ajax asked the system about his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 10 units / 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Ajax cultivated only for 10 minutes; however, he was satisfied as he was able to fill it by 10 percent. ''Anyway, let''s rest for tonight.'' Soon, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he decided to sleep for the night. ¡­. Next day, In front of the Teleportation Gate, "Who is the new member that is joining our team?" "How dare he make us wait for him?" Two middle-aged humanoid wyverns were angry as they asked the other two members of the squad. "Wynd, Fyre, if you can''t control your anger, you will make the entire squad suffer." "The newest member of the team was personally recruited by the Prince Dragon. So, think before you say anything to that new member." The other two squad members warned the two brothers who were known for their anger. Unlike those two humanoid wyverns, these two had pure human forms but still, they were the pure wyverns that sessfully re-cultivated into pure human forms. Their names were Draco, the squad leader and the other one was Fangorn, the deputy squad leader. As for those humanoid wyverns, they are Wynd and Fyre. "Damn these rmendations¡­I hate them." The two brothers said at the same time; however, they assured Draco and Fangorn that they wouldn''t cause trouble with the new member. "We havepleted 50 percent of the mission and as long as we collect 20 more Darkfire Crystals, we could sessfully undergo the Body Tempering with the Stormfire." Even though they said that Draco still warned them because he knew very well about them. "Not only will our bodies be stronger after undergoing the body tempering with the Stormfire but even our bloodline, the [Stormfire Wyvern Bloodline] will be upgraded to Legend Grade." "That''s correct. As long as that happens, our cultivation speed in our world will increase by 10 times and we can reach peak Emperor Realm in less than 100 years." Fangorn joined Draco and reminded the two angry brothers about their mission and the future they could have. "Once we be the peak emperor realm cultivators before the age of 250 years old, we get the free pass to enter any of the Greater Dragon Worlds and join the Divine Institutions." "With that, our path of upgrading and awakening the Divine Rule will bepleted and then ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm." After hearing Draco and Fangorn''s words, the two humanoid wyverns resumed their words and became excited just by thinking about it. "Hello, I am the new member of this squad. I hope we get along well." Just as they said those words, the humanoid Wyvern brothers saw a human waving his hand at them. "A human? How could a human join our team?" In the next second, two angry voices erupted in front of the Teleportation Gate. Chapter 1600 World No. 1021 The ones who shouted were none other than the humanoid Wyvern brothers who were assuring that they wouldn''t vent their anger on the new member. However, as soon as they saw Ajax, they could not control their anger and shouted out loud. ''Human?'' Even Draco and Fagorn frowned when they saw Ajax as they were not expecting a human to join their exploration squad. Actually, it was not their fault because almost everyone in the Dragon Region looked down on humans and how could they let a human join their squad? If other squads know about it, they would be aughingstock. "Fangorn, calm them." Nevertheless, Draco was calm and asked the deputy squad leader to calm the angry brothers. "Yes." Fangorn took only a single look at Ajax and didn''t bother to look before calming the angry brothers with his words. "Human, the only reason we are letting you join our squad is because of Prince Dakon. Just stay behind us and don''t hinder us frompleting our mission." While Fangorn was busy calming the angry brothers, Draco spoke to Ajax in a deep voice, "If you die, it would leave a remark on my squad. So, try to stay alive." "Also, wee to the team." After saying these words, Draco stopped speaking and signalled the cultivators who were in charge of the Teleportation Gate. "..." On the other hand, Ajax was speechless as he didn''t expect he would get such a warm wee from his squad members. ''Sigh¡­not all cultivators from the Dragon Region would be like Jade Dragonling.'' For a moment, Ajax thought about his little brother Jade Dragonling and shook his head. Of course, Ajax also knew the reason why the Jade Dragonling was addressing him as big brother and was always respectful to him because of the World Cores. ''Anyway, this is how the cultivators from the Dragon Region will be.'' Before entering the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax had already expected such behaviour from the inhabitants of the world. Hence, he didn''t think too much about it and waited for the Teleportation Gate to activate. "Control your anger if you don''t want to stay by your side." After signalling the cultivators in charge of the Teleportation Gate, Draco looked at the angry brothers and said a single line to make them as docile as rabbits. "Sir Draco, the portal to the Darkworld 1021 is ready." Soon, the cultivator informed Draco about the portal along with some information regarding the world, "Even though it was the outermost world in the Dark Region, it was said that there were more than 20 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." "If you can kill them all, you and your squad members, except for the new guy, can undergo Body Tempering and upgrade your bloodlines." In the Stormfire World, once a wyvern bes an Emperor Realm Cultivator, its cultivation speed would be dropped drastically and the only way for them to regain their cultivation speed was by improving their bloodline. Even though there were many methods to upgrade the bloodline, the easiest way was to enter the worlds in the Dark Region and collect 10 Darkfire Crystals that can be obtained from the bodies of the Darkfire Wraiths.I think you should take a look at With that, they could get free ess to undergo the body tempering with the Sentient me which makes them strong and durable along with the upgrade in their Bloodlines. Even though a few Wyverns might buy the Darkfire Crystals, they have to spend a lot of money. Moreover, they would be looked down upon by the other Wyvern Cultivators if they learned that he or she didn''t enter the Dark Region. "Everyone, as long as we work hard this one time, our lives will change and our path to ascending the Heavenly Bestial Realm would be easy." Draco motivated his squad members before tossing them a ck-coloured pill at everyone, including Ajax. "All the worlds in the Dark Region are filled with ghastly evil energy that would corrode your body and with these Shadowbane Pills. Each pill can help you stay in those worlds for one day." It was Fangorn who exined the Shadowbane Pills to Ajax since it was Ajax''s first time entering the Dark Region and didn''t know about those pills. "They are quite precious and we needed to spend a lot to create a bottle of these Shadowbane Pills that only have 10 pills." "With these 10 pills, we can still see the world 1021 for two days. Let''s hope we canplete the mission and not enter the Dark Region anymore." Draco said all the details Ajax needed to know before saying, "Let''s enter." As soon as he said that, Draco entered the portal without wasting any time and behind him, Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre rushed into the portal after tossing the Shadowbane Pills into their mouths. ''Let''s go and see what the worlds in the Dark Region look like.'' With an excited look on his face, Ajax also ate the pill after checking the information about it and soon, walked through the portal. ¡­. World No. 1021, Outer Section of the Dark Region. The entire world was filled with malevolent energy that could make anyone shiver just by setting foot on the ground. This malevolent energy permeates the air, seeping into every crevice and suffusing thendscape with an eerie, oppressive aura with destendscapes stretching as far as the eye can see. The energy exudes a chilling coldness as if draining the warmth and life force from its surroundings. ''Swoosh'' In a world that was filled with such an evil environment, a huge portal suddenly opened and two humanoid wyverns along with three human figures walked out of it. They were none other than Ajax and his squad members and except for Ajax, the remaining four were all Stormfire Wyverns. "Wynd, Fyre, stay alert." "Fangorn¡­" "I am on it, Draco." As soon as they entered World 1021, Draco gave his first and before he could give an order to Fangorn, the deputy squad leader said that he was already on it. ''Little ones, go and find those evil creatures.'' Fangorn opened a small pouch on his waist and soon, more than a dozen small wyverns came out and flew into different directions. ***** 1600 Chapters Chapter 1601 [Bonus ] Fire Chamber In World No 1021, All the worlds in the Dark Region that were explored would be given a number. The sooner it was explored, the lower its number would be. Since this world is called World No. 1021, it means that 1020 worlds were explored before it. The peak emperor realm cultivators from both the Human Region and the Dragon Region would share these worlds and kill all the high-level and peak-level emperor realm Darkfire Wraiths. As for the low-level and mid-level emperor realm Darkfire Wraiths, they would be left for the younger generation cultivators who reached the Emperor Realm before the age of 100 years. There were Darkfire Wraiths below Emperor Realm; however, they were yet to condense the Darkfire Crystals in them and almost all of them were killed by the presence released by the peak emperor realm cultivators that entered to clear the worlds. Draco, Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre could be considered geniuses for reaching the Emperor Realm before 50 years; however, their goal was much bigger than the other cultivators in the Stormfire Wyvern World. To aplish their goal, they needed to undergo the Body Tempering with the Stormfire and thus, despite having a lot of time before entering the Dark Region, they were willing to take the risk to undergo the body tempering ahead of time to reach their goal a little sooner. Currently, Draco and others were silently sitting on the ground. Fangorn seemed to be in meditation; however, Ajax learned that he was sharing his vision with the 12 small wyverns he released earlier. As for Ajax, he also sat down and patiently waited to see what this exploration squad was trying to do. "Draco, recently I have been thinking that we should try entering the words below No. 500 and should kill the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith." Suddenly, Wynd told Draco about his thoughts. "Even though we can kill the mid-level Emperor Wraiths, we won''t stand a single chance against those high-level Emperor Wraiths." Draco didn''t think much as he replied, "Moreover, it was said that they were always apanied by a dozen mid-level and hundreds of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." "But, I heard that by collecting the high-level Darkfire Crystals, we can enter the inner section of the Fire Chamber to undergo the Body Tempering along with the Bloodline Upgrading." It was Fyre who spoke this time as he rubbed the back of his head and said about the benefits of collecting the high-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Sigh'' Hearing those words, Draco could not help but sigh before saying, "For now, I believe that we should just focus on collecting the mid-level darkfire crystals and improve our strength with the help of the Sentient me." "After that, when our strength increases, if we are still dissatisfied with our bloodline improvement, we can enter the Dark Region to collect the high-level Darkfire Crystals." Draco carefully exined and made the humanoid Wyvern brothers understand the risks and benefits of what they were doing. The main objective of Draco''s team was to get the mid-level Darkfire Crystals from the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and enter the mid-section of the Fire Chamber to improve their bloodline and body strength. The ce where the Sentient me, the Stormfire, was situated is called the Fire Chamber. It was specially built by the array masters from the Greater Dragon Worlds and carefully divided into three sections. They are outer, mid and inner sections and the closer you are to the me, the more benefits the cultivator would get while undergoing the body tempering.I think you should take a look at To enter the outer section of the Fire Chamber, a wyvern cultivator should get 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals that could be left after killing the low-level Emperor realm Darkfire Wraiths. Mid-level Darkfire Crystals would allow a cultivator to enter the mid-section of the Fire Chamber and as for the inner-section, the most beneficial section required 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals. Generally, only Wyverns and the cultivators from the other Dragon Worlds with a rmendation would be allowed to enter the Fire Chamber after they collect the required Darkfire Crystals. As for humans, it could be said that Ajax was the first person to give such an opportunity because the five top sects were still discussing the price for the human cultivators to enter the mes Chambers in the worlds of the Dragon Regions. ''No wonder, he became the squad leader.'' Looking at how Draco was able to convince others with simple words, Ajax praised him in his mind and patiently waited for Fangorn to open his eyes. "Draco, I found three different locations of the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." Fangorn, who was closing his eyes until now, suddenly opened his eyes and informed Draco with an excited smile. Compared to the worlds in the other regions, the worlds in the Dark Region were much bigger and hence, it would be a little difficult to fight the Darfire Wraiths. However, now, Fangorn was able to find three mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths within 30 minutes of entering. So, of course, he was excited as they could get three mid-level Darkfire Wraiths. "What about the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths?" Draco was also pleasantly surprised as it was their first time finding prey so soon. Nevertheless, he suppressed his excitement and thought about it calmly before asking Fangorn about the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "The three mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths have 10, 12 and 15 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with them respectively." Fangorn closed his eyes and counted with his fingers and answered Draco. "Excellent¡­as long as we work together, we can clear them." Draco nodded his head and started saying his n, "Let''s clear the one with 15 minions first and then 12 and 10 respectively." Since they were in their peak state, Draco thought it would be better to clear the difficult one among the three and chose the mid-level emperor realm Darkfire Wraith with 15 minions around it. "When we attack, just stay back and don''t get in the middle to disturb our teamwork." Wynd and Fyre nodded their heads at Draco before warning Ajax. ***** StryderAdon, thanks for the SPACECRAFT. Chapter 1602 Darkfire Wraith "Wynd, Fyre, and Fangorn, you three take care of its minions. I will stall for time with the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." Since Draco and others were working together in the exploration of the Dark Region, Draco didn''t exin things in detail as he knew the squad members would understand. "As for you, you can assist them if you want but don''t get in their way." At the same time, Draco thought for a moment before saying these words to Ajax before saying, "As soon as I give out the signal, let''s rush forward and kill as many minions as possible before going with the n." Even though Draco didn''t know how capable Ajax was, he didn''t underestimate him because he was rmended by Prince Dakon who would soon be the Emperor of the Stormfire Wyvern World. Moreover, Draco could tell that Ajax was a little different from the humans he had seen in the past. Nevertheless, it still didn''t change the fact that he looked down on Ajax for being human and didn''t expect much from Ajax. ''As long as he didn''t drag us down, it''s alright! We can carry him for the sake of Prince Dakon.'' This was what he said to his squad members to calm them down. Soon, he started observing a group of creatures in the distance along with his squad members. ''So, they are the Darkfire Wraiths that everyone is talking about.'' Ajax was also looking at the creatures with an interesting look on his face because it was his first time seeing such creatures. They seem like they have an ethereal form, with semi-translucent bodies and flickering with a haunting, dimly glowing me. mes are dancing along their spectral bodies, emitting a dark, smoky aura that twists and curls around them. ''Ding, Creature Name: Darkfire Wraith. Strength: Low-level Emperor Realm. Information: An evil creature born from the dark and evil energy in the world and eventually gained consciousness before starting cultivating. Once they form a Darkfire Crystal in them, they have the strength of an Emperor Realm and the crystal grows and turns dark, its strength increases. Uses of the Darkfire Crystal: Still Unknown but the system will find out if the host has the sample. Try to get a sample to get more information about the Darkfire Crystal. At the same time, Ajax received the information about the Darkfire Wraith from the system which was mostly the information that the system came up with after listening to the conversations of Draco and others. As Fangorn said, there were a total of 15 low-level and one mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. The main differences between the low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths are their body sizes, colour and the size of the mes around their bodies. ''They are floating at the same ce without moving as though they are cultivating.'' From his observations, Ajax guessed about it; however, he didn''t expect that he was right as Draco said the same thing. "Everyone, let''s go. Aim for the ck hearts to kill them in a single blow." After observing for a while, Draco finally gave the signal as Draco and others rushed at the group of Darkfire Wraiths. ''Should I observe for some more time or enter into the action with them?'' Ajax thought about it for a moment before rejecting the thought of entering into the action right now. He had two reasons:I think you should take a look at One. He wanted to see how these Darkfire Wraiths fight and what type of attacks they would use. Two. Ajax was curious about Draco and others'' fighting styles and what types of skills and cultivation techniques they use. Ajax was not worried much about being unable to collect 100 Darkfire Crystals to get permission to enter the Fire Chamber because there were still nearly two days. Once he understood about the things in the Dark World and the Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax was confident in collecting the 100 Darkfire Crystals within a single day. Whether it was overconfidence or arrogance or believing in himself, it would be only a matter of time before finding it out. ''Swoosh'' Two huge Wyvern Wings appeared behind Draco and Fangorn as the four squads flew at the group of Darkfire Wraiths at an incredible speed. By the time Ajax closed and opened his eyelids, Draco had already reached the two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. [Thundering Talon Strike] Without giving them any chance, Draco activated one of the cultivation techniques that he developed from his skill and in the next second, his hands transformed into Wyvern ws and struck those two Darkfire Wraiths'' hearts ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Since they were not ready, the two low-level Darkfire Wraiths died just like that; however, Draco used the same moment to kill another two; however, they were a little fast and dodged the critical strike. "Everyone, let''s go with the n." Even though Draco injured those two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, he didn''t bother to fight them as he hurriedly rushed towards the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. At the same time, he didn''t forget tomand his squad members. On the other hand, Fangorn and the humanoid Wyvern brothers also used one of their powerful cultivation techniques to kill one low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith each. After their surprise attack, only 10 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths were left and ording to Draco''s n, Fagorn and others should kill them all as soon as possible before joining him to kill the mid-level Emperor Real Darkfire Wraith. "Wynd, Fyre, let''s show the new guys what we are capable of." Even though Fangorn didn''t voice his opinion on Ajax, he wanted to prove to Ajax that the Wyverns were much stronger than humans. Hence, he asked the humanoid Wyvern brothers to show their strength to Ajax. "Sure." The two brothers were excited because of Fangorn''s words because they were suppressing their anger towards Ajax until now and finally, they could vent their anger on the Darkfire Wraiths. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' "Fangorn, we fell into a trap." However, before they could start attacking, they heard Draco''s shocked words they soon noticed that two groups of Darkfire Wraiths were flying towards them at a good speed. Chapter 1603 Galewing Fire Assault From the left side, a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith led 12 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths whereas from the right side, another mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was leading 10 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. These two groups of Darkfire Wraiths were none other than the groups that Fangorn had seen before and even informed Draco. ording to their n, after taking care of this first group, they were eventually nning to take care of the other two groups of Darkfire Wraiths. However, who would have expected that they fell into the trap of these supposedly mindless creatures? ''Did their intelligence evolve? It hasn''t been that long since this world was cleared and the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths won''t have the ability to think properly much less trapping us by forming teams with other mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths.'' Looking at the rushing two groups of Darkfire Wraiths, Draco became a little anxious as he hurriedly informed Fangorn and others. "It''s a trap. Everyone, kill one or two low-level Darkfire Wraiths and let''s run.'' As soon as he said these words, Draco used his most powerful attacking skill, to free himself from the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith that he was fighting with. [Inferno Eclipse Breath] A fiery heat wave came out of Draco''s mouth that pushed the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith a few meters back. [Galewing Fire Assault] After pushing the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith back, Draco uses one of his most energy-consuming skills. ''Swoosh'' The wyvern wings on his back were already huge and after he activated his skill, they doubled in size as the two wings were entirely covered with mes. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''sh'' Without further ado, Draco flew through the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths that Fangorn and others were fighting and instantly killed five of them with his fiery wings. "Save your energy and run." After shouting at Fangorn and others, Draco flew towards Ajax and caught him before flying into the distance. "Are we escaping?" For a moment, Ajax was shocked to see that Draco was much more powerful than he had expected because the other party was able to kill five low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with a single attack. ''If there were no mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, he could easily kill hundreds or even thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with his powerful skills and cultivation techniques.'' This was what Ajax thought as he waited for Draco''s answer. "No. It''s a strategic retreat." Draco didn''t think so as he directly replied to Ajax before asking, "I want to ask you one thing. Did you enter my Exploration Squad for undergoing the blood tempering with the Sentient me?" "Yes."I think you should take a look at Ajax nodded his head as he looked back at Fangorn and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers who were flying behind them. "Leader, how long are we going to fly? That mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith must have already marked you. No matter where we hide in this world, it would be only a matter of time before it catches up to us along with the other two mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and their minions." Fangron had already caught up to them and asked Draco for the next step in their n. ''...'' Dracon remained silent for a while and looked at Ajax whom he was carrying and asked, "So, can you stall a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith for 10 minutes?" "Leader" Fangorn was shocked and unconsciously called Draco; however, Draco didn''t reply to him as he waited for Ajax''s reply. Even though Draco didn''t want to take Ajax''s help, they were currently being chased by three mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with a group of more than 25 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Hence, Draco thought that he should take Ajax''s help; however, he didn''t know Ajax''s capabilities and didn''t want to send him to death as he didn''t want Prince Dakon to torture their squad for Ajax. That''s why he asked Ajax about his capabilities and if Ajax lied about it and got killed then Draco can''t do anything about it as they would die anyway if they don''t try anything. The thing is Draco''s impression of Ajax had improved a little when he saw how calm and rxed Ajax was and it was also one of the reasons why Draco felt that he should ask for help from Ajax. "I can do that." Even though Ajax didn''t fight these Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax fought the peak-level emperor realm Demons a couple of days back. So, he was confident in taking care of a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith much less stalling for time. Nevertheless, he didn''t bother to say that as he wanted to see how Draco coulde out of this serious situation. ''Only by going through life and death, a cultivator could unlock his hidden potential.'' This was also one of Elder Boron''s teachings that Ajax remembered from back then. "Just stall for 10 minutes until we take care of those low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." Soon, Draco started nning by putting Ajax into one of the main roles. It only took a single minute for Draco to finalize his n as he exined the n and roles to his squad members. "Fangorn, I know it would be hard for you but, you have to stall a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith for a few minutes before Wynd and Fyre join you after killing all the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." "Wynd and Fyre, go all out. There is no need to save any energy forter use. Kill the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths as soon as possible before helping Fangorn deal with the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith." "As for Ajax, he would stall the third mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith for 10 minutes by then, I will kill the first mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith before joining him to deal with the third Darkfire." While exining the n and roles to Ajax and others, Draco and others changed their directions as they flew towards Darkfire Wraiths with serious looks on their faces except for Ajax. **** Bonus Chapter for an INSPIRATION CASPULE. Chapter 1604 [Bonus ] Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm [Lightning Fire Wyvern Transformation] After leaving Ajax and others, Draco transformed into a huge wyvern that was covered in lightning sparks. Compared to the Stormfire Wyverns that Ajax had seen before, Draco''s transformation looked quite powerful¡­ especially the lightning sparks around him. "I will try to kill it as soon as possible beforeing to us, Ajax." After saying that, Draco selected the most powerful mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and started fighting it. "He is using his ultimate move already. It looks like we have to go back after taking care of this group of Darkfire Wraiths." It was their squad''s irond rule that once Draco uses his ultimate move, they have to return to their world. Fangorn could not help but shake his head bitterly and then he looked at Ajax and warned. "I don''t know why the leader believes you but don''t die as it won''t do us any good." As soon as he said those words, Fangorn didn''t waste any more time and rushed towards the second mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. [Cyclone Dive] The wings behind Fangorn pped heavily and created a huge cyclone as he dived into it. ''Whoosh'' Soon, the huge cyclones moved towards the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith to absorb it. ''Scoff'' As for the two humanoid Wyvern brothers, they scoffed at Ajax but didn''t forget to warn him to stay alive before using one of their powerful skills. [Infernal Fury] [Tempest Fury] Fyre''s humanoid wyvern body waspletely covered in mes whereas Wynd''s body was surrounded by many small-sized tornadoes. ''Whoosh'' ''sh'' ''Pwoosh'' ''Kacha'' The two humanoid brothers had goodpatibility with one other as they worked together to kill the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''They are all good. They are confident in one another''s skills and don''t hesitate to voice their opinion regarding Draco''s n. At the same time, Draco was also good with his nning and made others believe in him.'' Ajax silently evaluated the team''s performance before fighting his opponent, the third mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax had already arrived in front of his opponent. Of course, Ajax circted the Divine Essence of Nature in his legs to activate the [Celestial Void Step]. To use the cultivation techniques, a cultivator needs to use his essence of nature and since Ajax no longer has the essence of nature, he could only use the Divine Essence of Nature. As for the consumption for using the cultivation techniques, Ajax didn''t know yet as his Divine Spirit Consciousness hadpletely transformed only yesterday. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could attack, two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths jumped at him. ''I only wanted to fight the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith but you seem in a hurry. So, I will send you on your way.'' [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] Circting the Divine Essence of Nature ording to the knowledge in his head, Ajax activated his Palm Cultivation Technique in both his hands before pushing those two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with his palms. ''Boom''I think you should take a look at ''Boom'' The moment Ajax''s palms touched the two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, a rumbling sound resounded as the two spectral creatures sted into nothingness before leaving their Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The host has killed two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Even though Ajax didn''t receive any benefits from the system for killing the Darkfire Wraiths, he had already expected it because the entire energy of these spectral creatures would be stored in the Darkfire Crystal after they were killed. Hence, the system was unable to absorb the dissipating energy from the Darkfire Wraith''s body. ''Holy¡­.I thought the demi-god palm technique would be powerful; however, I never expected it to be so powerful that it could insta-kill the low-level Emperor Realm creatures just like that.'' Ajax had a shocked look on his face because he had only spent 50 percent of the required Divine Essence OF Nature while executing the [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm]. ''Ding, 0.5 units of Divine Essence of Nature is consumed. ''Ding, 0.5 units of Divine Essence of Nature is consumed. Combined, Ajax had only spent 1 unit of Divine Essence of Nature to kill the two low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. When he was using the [Celestial Void Step], the system informed him that he consumed one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. Hence, Ajax decreased the energy required in using the Palm Technique; however, who would have thought that even when he used only 50 percent of the strength with his Palm Technique, it would st the lowly Darkfire Wraiths like that? ''It looks like I have to use even less energy when dealing with the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and as for the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, I will use 50 percent of my strength.'' After a moment of revtion on how powerful his demi-god cultivation techniques were, Ajax decided not to use his full power to save his Divine Essence of Nature. At the same time, he didn''t want to remove the pressure on Draco and others by making things easy for them. ''Swoosh'' On the other hand, the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith hurriedly distanced itself from Ajax before using one of its attacks. [Darkfire Bomb] A few pitch-ck orbs that were covered in ck mes were released from the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith''s mouth. ''Even though I don''t know what they are, I can say that they are not good.'' [Celestial Void Step] Ajax didn''t let those ck orbs touch him as he easily dodged with his movement technique and arrived behind the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. ''[Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm], 10 percent power.'' ''Boom'' ''Swoosh'' ''[Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm], 10 percent power.'' ''Boom'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax believed that if he used 50 percent or above of his [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm''s] power, it would instantly kill the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. So, he toyed with it by only using his 10 percent power while observing Draco and others who were going all out in dealing with their opponents. ''Screech'' Suddenly, the Spectral Creature that Ajax was fighting screeched loudly before exploding into nothing leaving the Darkfire Crystal on the ground. ''Huh? Itmitted Suicide?'' Chapter 1605 Fangorns Pride ''Huh? Itmitted Suicide?'' Ajax was surprised for a moment before shaking his head in disappointment, ''Maybe I was too harsh on it.'' Even though he was a little disappointed that the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was dead, Ajax didn''t think much about it. The reason why he was disappointed was because he didn''t want to remove the pressure from Draco and others so soon. Now, without the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, they could take their own time to slowly kill their opponents. ''I try my best to keep it alive for another few minutes; however, it has a weak heart.'' While muttering that, Ajax looked at Draco and others. Earlier, when he was checking on him, the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith that he was fighting hadmitted suicide. So, he resumed what he was doing with full attention now. Draco, as expected, was involved in an intense fight with the stronger mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and he was having the upper hand in the fight. ''In five minutes or so, he could easily kill it; however, since he already saw that my opponent is dead, he might take it easy and extend the battle.'' Ajax was hoping that Draco wouldn''t take it easy andplete the battle as soon as possible. The two humanoid Wyvern brothers were having quite fun as they were killing the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths within two or three attacks. Even though they were receiving attacks from the other low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, they didn''t care much and continued to ughter them by exchanging injuries for their lives. ''They are tough.'' Ajax muttered in his head as his eyes finallynded on Fangorn who was flying above the huge cyclone and using it to fight the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. Even though he had some skills, Ajax could tell that Fangorn was barely in control of the fight with his opponent. ''It looks like he won''tst for much longer.'' Ajax silently evaluated Fangorn; however, he didn''t look down on him because Fangorn was only a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator and he was fighting a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. ''I will wait until he calls for my help or if he is really in danger.'' Ajax didn''t mind these Wyverns looking down on him as their mentality was like and it could not be changed in a day or with a few words. However, he was hoping that Fangorn would put away his attitude and ask Ajax for help. Nevertheless, even if Fangorn won''t ask, Ajax was nning to help him in the critical moment not because he was fond of them; instead, it was because of Prince Dakon. ''Since Uncle Dakon rmended this exploration squad, that means these squad members mean something to him.'' As Dakon''s sworn brother''s disciple, Ajax won''t be sent to some foreign world with some random cultivators by him. Therefore, Ajax didn''t want anyone to die from the squad. ''System, analyse the Darkfire Crystal.'' While keeping an eye on Fangorn and others, Ajax collected the mid-level Darkfire Crystal and asked the system to analyze it. Earlier, the system asked Ajax to collect a sample and Ajax got it. Hence, he was looking forward to seeing the uses of the Darkfire Crystal. ¡­. ''H-he killed a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in less than five minutes?''I think you should take a look at On the other hand, Draco and the other squad members were shocked to notice that Ajax was standing alone with a mid-level Darkfire Crystal in his hand. Actually, they were so busy with the fight that they didn''t dare to shift their focus onto Ajax even though they heard a loud screech. Finally, when they got a moment to check on Ajax, there was no mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and Ajax was alone while looking at them. ''How did he do that?'' ''Did he use any trump cards?'' Except for Draco, the other three squad members were unable to ept the fact that Ajax killed the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith with his strength and thought he must have relied on the external items. ''As I expected¡­he is not a normal human emperor realm cultivator.'' As for Draco, he heaved a sigh of relief that he decided to believe Ajax''s capabilities and muttered, ''I wonder whether he was a low-level Emperor Realm cultivator or hiding his cultivation?'' Nevertheless, Draco didn''t bother to think much about such things right now and decided to kill his opponent as soon as possible. ''That human is strong.'' ''Even though I don''t like humans, I don''t mind befriending a strong human.'' Earlier, the two humanoid Wyvern brothers were looking down on Ajax; however, when they saw how coolly Ajax was standing after killing a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. Hence, they no longer want to look down on Ajax; if possible, they want to befriend Ajax. These humanoid wyverns brothers were simple. They hate weak for being weak and like strong for being strong. ''Damn it¡­why is he standing like that? Can''t he see that I am having a hard time?'' However, Fangorn was apletely different breed of wyvern as he silently cursed Ajax for not helping him. Among the three groups, he was the only one who had a trouble time in dealing with the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and anyone could tell that with a single look. ''Does he want me to beg for his help?'' For a moment, this thought came to his head and momentarily, he lost focus in his mind. ''Swoosh'' He was pped away by the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and pushed away for more than 10 meters. ''Cough'' ''Aargh'' Even though he protected his vitals, Fangorn still suffered some injuries, making him cough a mouthful of blood. [Dark Spectral w] At the same time, he saw the Spectral Being activate one of his deadly skills and flew towards him. ''I am not going to ask for his help¡­I am not going to ask¡­not ask..'' Fangorn muttered in his heart to not ask for Ajax''s help; however, suddenly, he shouted, "Please help me." Chapter 1606 Evil Spectral Scream "Please, help me." Fangorn''s eyes were on Ajax who was standing in the distance, hoping that he would save him. However, when he saw Ajax didn''t have any intentions to move from his ce, Fangorn could not help but sigh and thought, ''Why should he help me? It''s not like he owes me something.'' ''Moreover, I even looked down on him. If I was in his ce, I doubt I would have helped in this situation.'' Many thoughts shed in Fangorn''s head as he lost hope and closed his eyes to rest forever. On the other hand, Draco and the humanoid Wyvern brothers became anxious and wanted to help Fangorn; however, they were already busy with their own opponents. They wanted to ask Ajax for help; however, they didn''t even get a chance to speak as their opponents became more aggressive all of a sudden. ''Swoosh'' [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] Just as Fangorn closed his eyes, Ajax appeared in between him and the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith before using his Palm Cultivation Technique. ''Boom'' A thunder rumbling sound resounded as the Spectral Creature was pushed more than 10 meters away before turning into dust, leaving behind a mid-level Darkfire Crystal. ''Huh? I only used 30 percent of Divine Essence of Nature in using the Palm Technique and it still killed a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith.'' For a moment, Ajax was surprised to see the death of the Spectral Creature and thought, ''Maybe it is weaker than the one I fought earlier or it might have been exhausted or injured by Fangorn.'' After that, Ajax turned his head and looked at Fangorn who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed as though he was rxing. "I thought you were never going to ask for my help." Soon, Fangorn heard Ajax''s voice as he opened his eyes to see that the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was nowhere to be seen. He saw Ajax looking at him with a slight smile on his face, making Fangorn a little embarrassed. "T-thank you for helping me out." Fangorn struggled to stand up as he thanked Ajax with an awkward smile and whenever he remembered how he treated Ajax before, he could not help but feel embarrassed. "There is no need to feel embarrassed asking the help from a fellow squad member." Even though Ajax was much younger than Fangorn, he was more mature than Fangorn as he said, "You should take some rest and heal your injuries." "..." Hearing those words from Ajax made him feel even more awkward; however, he still nodded his head and tossed some healing pills into his mouth before sitting down to heal his injuries. As for Draco and the humanoid Wyvern brothers, after seeing Ajax killing the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith with a single palm technique, they were shocked. At the same time, it increased their fighting spirit and soon, they got the fight under their control. As for Ajax, he didn''t rush to help them because they were doing well and could soon finish their fight in a few minutes. He sat beside Fangorn while ying with two mid-level and two low-level Darkfire Crystals while waiting for the system toplete its analysis regarding the Darkfire Crystals. "How did you kill the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith so soon?" After a moment of silence, Fangorn finally could not suppress his curiosity anymore as he asked Ajax about his insta-kill of the Spectral Creature. ''Screech''I think you should take a look at Before Ajax could say anything, an ominous screech came from the distance that made him hurriedly stand up. The screech was simr to the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith''s screech before itmitted suicide. From that time, Ajax was having a bad premonition in his heart; however, he didn''t think much about that because the environment in the world was like that. Nevertheless, when he heard the ominous screech, Ajax felt that his premonition was not because of the environment but something else. "What is that?" Draco and the two other humanoid Wyvern Brothers had almost about to end their fight when they heard the screech from the distance and in the next second, their unconsciousness felt a chill in their body. It was the same for Fangorn as he hurriedly stood up despite his injuries yet to heal and summoned a few small wyverns. "Go and check it." Soon, he sent them in the direction of the scream while speeding up his recovery with some rare medicinal pills while sharing his vision with those scouting wyverns. ''Ding, Draco and others are affected by the [Evil Spectral Scream]. All their battle prowess will be reduced by 30 percent. ''Ding, With the reduction of their battle prowess, it''s only a matter of time before they die fighting the Darkfire Wraiths. In case the host wants to save them, he should do it now. ''Ding, As for the host, thanks to his Divine Spirit Consciousness, the skill [Evil Spectral Scream] is not powerful enough to affect the host. As Ajax was wondering about the bad premonition in his head, he received a series of system notifications, making him frown for a moment. However, when he saw thest system notification, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. "Not good¡­not good¡­what should we do now¡­how?" Suddenly, Fangorn opened his eyes and anxiously said to Ajax. Even though Fangorn didn''t exin clearly thanks to his anxiousness, Ajax understood that he saw something dangerous. "Fangorn, calm down for a moment. I will go and help Draco and others. Until then, you should calm down and say clearly about what you have seen." After shaking Fangorn out of his anxiousness, Ajax looked at Draco who was fighting the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith for a moment. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax had already been behind the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith and used the palm technique to insta-kill it. Ajax didn''t stop there as he helped the humanoid Wyvern Brothers before returning to Fangorn. "There are hundreds¡­no thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraithsing towards us that were led by hundreds of mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." **** Gifts, Golden Tickets and Power Stones are helpful in releasing BONUS CHAPTERS. Chapter 1607 [Bonus ] Squad Member "What? Thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths?" "And a hundred high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths?" The humanoid Wyvern brothers were shocked as they asked Fangorn at the same time, "Fangorn, it''s not the time for joking." "Do you think I will joke about such things?" Fangorn was already anxious as he was still shivering from seeing the huge number of Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Didn''t we have a lot of trouble finding these Darkfire Wraiths in our previous exploration?" "Why did this world have so many Darkfire Wraiths in this world?" The humanoid Wyvern brothers saw the anxious and serious look in Fangorn''s eyes and could tell that he was not lying. However, they were still unable to believe such arge group of Darkfire Wraiths in one ce. "Draco, didn''t this world clear just one year back? How can there be such arge group of Darkfire Wraiths in one ce?" Fangorn was trying his best to suppress his anxiousness as he asked Draco who didn''t speak anything until now. Generally, when the words in the Dark Region were cleared by the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators, they would leave low-level and a few mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths for the younger generation to train in these worlds. The chances of all these Darkfire Wraiths staying in one ce are almost impossible because these spectral creatures can''t form groups of 100 because they could absorb less dark energy. The smaller the group, the more dark energy they could get and the stronger they would be. Of course, it was a natural instinct for the Darkfire Wraiths and staying around the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths could absorb more dark energy. However, if the number of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths crossed a specific number, their absorption speed for the Dark Energy would decrease and they would slowly leave the group to either fly alone or find another mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with less number of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Hence, Fangorn was shocked and at the same time, he didn''t understand how there would be such arge number of Darkfire Wraiths grouped together. "Draco, why aren''t you saying anything." Seeing that Draco was still lost in his thoughts, Fangorn spoke again and at the same time, he wanted to ask Ajax something; however, he realized that it was Ajax''s first time entering the Dark Region. Hence, he didn''t ask whatever he nned to ask and waited for Draco to say something. As the leader of the exploration squad, Draco had proven his abilities many times before and hence, Fangorn wanted to hear whether Draco had any n for their current situation. "This is definitely not a normal situation." Finally, Draco spoke as he said, "There must be a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in this world." "What?" "A high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith? How is it possible?" "Did our higher-ups miss that high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith?" Fangorn and others were shocked when they heard Draco''s words. "Think about it¡­how can the other two groups of Darkfire Wraiths immediately rush to us when we were fighting the first group of Darkfire Wraiths?" Draco seriously exined, "And now, it''s not just three mid-level Darkfire Wraiths anymore; instead, there are 100 of them that were leading thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths."I think you should take a look at "It is only possible if there was a high-level Darkfire Wraith." Draco looked in the direction from where the Darkfire Wraiths wereing and concluded, "I think we should better leave before we get trapped here." "Yes, let''s leave." Fangorn was the first one to agree with Draco''s words without any hesitation. For them, handling two mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and a group of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths had already put a lot of pressure on them. Not to mention, they felt they became a little weak after hearing that ominous scream from before and didn''t want to stay in this Dark World anymore. As for the two humanoid Wyvern brothers, they didn''t say anything but Draco and Fangorn knew their silence meant agreement, "Brother Ajax, you agree with us, right?" Fangorn thought about it for a moment and asked Ajax about his opinion. He asked Ajax not because he was strong and saved him earlier; instead, he started treating Ajax as a fellow squad member because of what Ajax said after saving him. ''There is no need to feel embarrassed asking for help from a fellow squad member.'' Since Ajax was a squad member now, they should hear his opinion also before taking any kind of decision and that''s how their squad worked until now. Even Draco and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers looked at Ajax waiting to hear his opinion. "Will you believe me if I tell you that I can kill high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith?" Ajax was surprised that they already started treating him as one of their own. However, he thought about it for a moment before asking them a question. "I will believe you." It was not Fangorn who said it; instead, it was Draco. From the moment they entered World No. 1021, Draco was always observing Ajax and he already guessed that Ajax was not a regr low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator. When Ajax''s first mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith died, Draco felt his intuition was right and realized that Ajax was stronger. However, when he saw how easily Ajax killed the second mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, he felt that his overestimation of Ajax was still an underestimation. Therefore, when Ajax said that he could kill the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, he believed it without any hesitation. As for the two humanoid Wyvern brothers, they also nodded their heads saying that they believed his words. Only Fangorn still has some doubts as he didn''t witness how easily Ajax killed the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. "So, do you want to risk staying in this world? We can kill all these spectral creatures and collect all these Darkfire Crystals?" **** Gifts, Golden Tickets and Power Stones are helpful in releasing BONUS CHAPTERS. Chapter 1608 Usage Of Darkfire Crystal Unlike Draco and others who became anxious to see a few thousand low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and 100 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax became a little happy. It was because, with so many Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax could collect so many Darkfire Crystals. Before entering the Dark Region, Prince Dakon had already said that he needed to collect 100 Darkfire Crystals to enter the Fire Chamber to undergo Body Tempering. ording to Draco and other squad members'' conversations, Ajax thought he would have a difficult time collecting the 100 Darkfire Crystals. However, who would have thought that there would be so many Darkfire Wraths in this world? What''s more, instead of searching for them, those spectral creatures wereing to him. Moreover, there was also another reason why Ajax wanted to stay back in this world to collect as many Darkfire Crystals as possible after seeing the information that the system had projected a few moments back. ''Ding, Item Name: Darkfire Crystal (Low-level). Item Type: Special / Mysterious. Use: It is one of the special foods for the Sentient mes and Fire/Dark type Elemental Spirit that promotes their growth. Even though the system had only finished the analysis of a low-level Darkfire Crystal, it was enough for Ajax to stay back in World No. 1021 to farm for the Darkfire Crystals. As for the mid-level and even high-level Darkfire Crystals, they would definitely have more uses than low-level Darkfire Crystals. Also, Ajax was surprised to see that Draco and others believed his words just like that, making him ask whether they were willing to stay back with him in the world. "T-this¡­" Fangorn hesitated a little to hear Ajax''s words and looked at Draco and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers who already nodded their heads. "What? Draco, Wynd and Fyre, you are all going to stay back and fight the army of Spectral Creatures?" Fangorn was grateful to Ajax for saving his life; however, he still felt it was not good to stay back and quietly leave this world. "Even though Brother Ajax might be able to kill a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, what about the 100 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths?" Fangorn tried to convince Draco and others because he was scared of staying in this world. "Other than that, there are thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Do you really think we can survive if we stay back?" Hearing Fangorn''s words, Draco and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers frowned. "Fangorn, is that really you? Why are you so scared like it was your first life and death situation?" Seeing that Fangorn was shivering non-stop, Draco felt something was really wrong with Fangorn as he asked Fangorn. The reason why Draco and others formed their own Dark Region Exploration Squad was to experience the life and death battles while collecting enough Darkfire Crystals. Moreover, the moment they feel they could not take on such a huge army, Draco could use the Return Token to leave the world with his entire team. Earlier, when Fangorn was about to die, Draco had decided to use it; however, when he heard Ajax''s voice in his head regarding Fangorn''s safety, he didn''t use it. But, he could use that Return Token at any time to instantly teleport back to the Stormfire Wyvern World; however, it would cost them a lot to use the Return Token; instead of using the regr method of opening the Return Scroll. Nevertheless, if any squad member''s life is in danger, Draco would not hesitate to use it as money can''t bepared with the lives of his squad members. "Draco¡­I am perfectly alright¡­" Fangorn continued to shiver but he said that he was alright again and again, making Draco and others feel that he was definitely not alright!I think you should take a look at ''System, check whether it has something to do with the [Evil Spectral Scream you mentioned]?'' As for Ajax, he also felt it and ordered the system to check on Fangorn. ''Ding, The system has detected that Fangorn was affected by a special effect of the Evil Spectral Scream, the [Fear]. ''Ding, It magnifies even the smallest fear into the biggest fear and makes themplete cowards. In no time, the system sent him a couple of system notifications, making him understand what really happened to Fangorn. ''He is affected by a special effect from the earlier scream.'' Ajax silently transmitted his voice to Draco and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers. ''No wonder, he is behavingpletely differently than usual.'' Draco and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers believed Ajax''s words once again because they knew about Fangorn very well and Ajax''s words made perfect sense for them. "It looks like we have to return, Brother Ajax." Even though they could fight the iing army of the Spectral Creatures, Fangorn could not fight them in his current state. What''s more, he might even be killed by a low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. Hence, Draco decided that they should just leave World No. 1021. "Wait a second." Ajax also thought it should be better to leave the world; however, he suddenly thought of something. So, he asked Draco to wait for a moment before he walked towards Fangorn with a n in his head. ''I hope it works.'' Ajax hoped his n would work as he ced his hand on Fangorn''s back before injecting the Divine Essence of Nature into his body. ording to the system, the [Evil Spectral Scream] was a spirit attack and its effects could also be considered as spirit attacks. Since his Divine Consciousness could resist the spirit beasts, Ajax thought the Divine Essence of Nature would also remove a negative status like [Fear]. ''Aaargh'' ''Putong'' ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax injected the Divine Essence of Nature, Fangorn groaned in pain before falling to his knees. However, Ajax and others saw some ck-coloured energye out of Fangorn''s mouth and disappeared. "Huf huf" After the ck energy dispersed, Fangorn gasped for breath and said, "We are staying in this world and fighting these Spectral Creatures until the veryst moment." Chapter 1609 Fortuitous Encounter After the Divine Essence of Nature removed Fangorn''s negative status of [Fear], the cowardly nature he was disying earlier disappeared without a trace. Soon, Fangorn''s true nature of taking risks had returned and without hesitation, he said that they should stay back in World No. 1021. "Haha¡­this is the Fangorn I know." Seeing Fangorn be his normal self, Draco and others heaved a sigh of relief. "So, is everyone ready for the fight?" Ajax looked into the distance and asked with a slight smile on his face. "Yes." Draco and others nodded their heads as they used something to heal their injuries and stamina from the earlier. Judging from the speed and the distance, it would take around five minutes for the Darkfire Wraiths to reach them. Therefore, they used that time to recover from their injuries. "Let''s collect as many Darkfire Crystals as possible and buy special legend-grade weapons after returning." At the same time, Draco, as the leader of the squad tried to motivate his squad members for the fight. With 10 Darkfire Crystals, whether they were low-level or mid-level or high-level, they could enter the Fire Chamber to undergo boody tempering by the Sentient me depending on the quality of the Darkfire Crystals. If they could collect more Darkfire Crystals, they could sell the crystals to the Fire Chamber in exchange for weapons, pills or cultivation resources. So, Draco used that concept to increase the fire spirit of his squad members. "Special Weapons? Excellent." The two humanoid Wyvern brothers were the most excited ones because their attack power increased by a lot with the weapons. Even though the weapons were rtively cheap in the Dragon Regionpared to the Human Region, the Legend Grade Weapons were still costly for the newly ascended Emperor Realm Cultivators like Draco and others. "What weapons do you guys use?" When Ajax heard Draco''s words, he thought of something and asked Draco and others. "I am a swordsman and Fangorn uses short swords along with a dagger." Draco replied to Ajax with a slight smile and continued, "As for them, they use huge battle axes." "Even though our battle strength increases with weapons, they will be corroded in this world due to the evil energy in this world." As though Draco thought of something, he informed Ajax, "That''s the reason why we don''t use weapons in this world. For us, weapons are very precious and we don''t want to damage them." "So, you have a reason for not using the weapons." Finally, Ajax understood the reason why they were not using the weapons. The reason why Ajax asked them about weapons was because he was curious about why they were not used and assumed that since they were treating this exploration as training, they don''t want to rely on external strength. However, his assumption was wrong as they were not using their weapons in order not to destroy them. "How long does a weaponst in this world?" Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Draco about it. "If you use a low-level legend-grade weapon, it willst for at least one day before turning into dust whereas a mid-level legend-grade weapon wouldst for one whole month." Since it was Ajax''s first time entering the Dark Region, they knew he didn''t have much knowledge about these things.I think you should take a look at Hence, they were not annoyed with it and exined patiently. "Since we only have low-level legend-grade weapons, we don''t want to use them unless it is absolutely necessary." "It looks like we can use them now and as long as we could collect ten low-level Darkfire Wraiths each, we could recover the cost for a new low-level legend-grade weapon." "We want to collect 100 or even 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals to buy mid-level or high-level legend-grade weapons." "And if we could take care of all those Darkfire Wraiths, we could buy special legend-grade weapons ranging from 1500 - 5000 low-level Darkfire Crystals." Draco, Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre everyone was excited from thinking about it; however, they knew that they still needed to kill those Darkfire Wraiths to achieve that feat. Draco and others had already decided to use their weapons once they decided to stay back after learning that Ajax could take care of the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. Even though it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity for them to be powerful and rich. With 10 mid-level Darkfire Crystals, they could undergo body tempering with the Stormfire in the mid-section of the Fire Chamber which makes their bloodline purer and stronger which in turn increases their cultivation speed and body strength. By using the low-level Darkfire Crystals, they could exchange for the Special Legend Grade Weapons and other cultivation resources. And having Ajax who could take care of a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in their current situation makes their dangerous situation into a fortuitous encounter. ¡­. Time continued to pass and the army of the Darkfire Wraiths were closing in on them. "I think it''s enough to recover. Let''s fight." Even though they were not recovered to the peak state, Draco felt it was enough as they don''t have much time. "Let''s fight!" Soon, Fangorn and the two humanoid Wyvern brothers also stood up and stretched their bodies a little. ''Brother Ajax, l will try my best not to activate the Return Token. If you sense they are in danger, please help them like before.'' As the leader of the squad, Draco didn''t want anyone from his squad to die. Hence, he silently requested Ajax''s help to protect Fangorn and others from danger. As for himself, Draco was not worried too much about it as he had his own secret trump cards to protect his life in danger and it was the same for Fangrom and the humanoid Wyvern brothers. However, if things like earlier where Fangorn didn''t have time to use them or he was so scared that he forgot to use them. In that case, Draco really needed Ajax''s help and asked for it. ''Sure.'' Ajax nodded his head and said to everyone, "You guys stay here and kill the Darkfire Wraiths I missed." [Celestial Void Step] As soon as he finished his words, Ajax disappeared from his ce. Chapter 1610 [Bonus ] Spectral Merge Even though Draco and others could take care of the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, they could not handle arge group of them at once. However, since they were nning to use the weapons now, Ajax believed that they wouldn''t have any problem dealing with arge group of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Nevertheless, he didn''t want them to rush into the thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths because, at the time, he might not be able to help them. Hence, Ajax decided to be in the front and be a target for all Darkfire Wraiths and the ones he missed could be taken care of by Draco and others. ''I should not let more than two mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths pass through me.'' Ajax silently thought in his head before jumping into the army of the Darkfire Wraiths. As for the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, he decided to let dozens of them go to Draco and others. ording to Ajax, it would be enough for Draco and others to put enough pressure on them. "Now, let''s start farming for the Darkfire Crystals." Without wasting any time, Ajax started fighting after taking a look at thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths around him. [Heavenly Thundstrike Palm] Ajax didn''t use it on the Darkfire Wraiths; instead, he used it on the ground to create a huge explosion. ''Boom'' All the Darkfire Wraiths within a 100 meters radius around him were instantly turned into nothingness and the Darkfire Wraiths in the range of 100-200 meters were pushed back before half of them died and the other half were severely injured. ¡­ "H-he is¡­.very powerful." "He killed so many low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with a single attack." "Who is he exactly? Is he a secret son of Prince Dakon?" When Draco and others saw how easily Ajax killed so many low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, they were shocked because there were at least 500 Darkfire Wraiths that Ajax killed with a single attack. Even though they participated in the Dark Region Exploration for thest three years and entered the Dark Region nine times, they have only killed less than 500 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. And now, Ajax, alone, killed what they havepleted in thest three years with a single attack. "Wynd, how many times did I say not to say? Whoever he is¡­.he is bound to be a peak powerhouse in the universe before ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm." Draco red at Wynd and continued saying, "Even though we had a bad start, Brother Ajax seems like he didn''t mind it. Also, he didn''t seem to know much about how things are in the Dark Region and the Dragon Region." "We should use this opportunity to at least be his friends." Draco ordered everyone to use the opportunity to help Ajax with the things rted to nonbat because they were much weaker than Ajax and could not help him inbat. Even though the other wyverns might mock them and look down on being with Ajax, Draco didn''t bother too much about it because their goal was not to stay in the world. To be honest, the moment they learned about the Heavenly Bestial Realm, it became their goal and having a powerful cultivator like Ajax would shorten the time to reach that goal. "In a cultured world, if you are not a top-notch genius, having connections with a future powerhouse is also a skill." With that, Draco ended his speech which made Fangorn and the other two clench their fists in excitement as they nodded their heads in agreement. "Anyway, let''s go and try our best to train." There were already dozens of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths that were left out by Ajax that wereing towards them. Hence, Draco and others summoned their weapons and soon started their fight. ''sh'' ''sh''I think you should take a look at ''sh'' Draco released multiple sword waves and killed five low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Puchi'' Fangorn was agile as he used his wings, two short swords and a dagger in perfect synchronization that he was killing a low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in less than ten seconds. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' On the other hand, the humanoid wyvern brothers flew into the sky and jumped into a group of 10 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and started swinging their huge battle axes. ¡­.. On the other hand, Ajax received the system notification regarding how many Spectral Creatures he killed. ''Ding, The host has killed 545 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Only 545?'' While Draco and others were shocked that Ajax killed 500 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with a single palm strike, Ajax was not satisfied with it. ''It looks like my [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] is not powerful enough to kill more than 1000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and muttered, ''I think it is time to use a weapon.'' Since there were nearly 10000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and 100 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith that was yet to reveal itself, Ajax wanted to kill as many Darkfire Wraiths as possible. Because once he started fighting the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, he might not be able to protect Draco and others. ''Soulsher,e out.'' From his Divine Spirit consciousness, his special legend-grade sword appeared in his hands. ''Time to use another Demi-God level technique.'' [Thousand des Torrent] Without any hesitation, Ajax created longsword waves with his weapon and soon, the 10 sword waves merged together before turning into 10000 des and rushed towards the Darkfire Wraiths. ''sh'' ''Kacha'' ''Puchi'' Maybe it was because the sword waves were created by Soulsher, the thousand des formed from those sword waves had dealt a lot more damage than Ajax expected. A thousand des travelled in all directions with Ajax as a center and covered at least one kilometer before disappearing along with the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths that were killed along the way. ''Ding, The host has killed 5788 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Spectral Merge." Suddenly, there was an angry voice from the distance and soon, Ajax saw the remaining 4000 or something low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths started merging with one another. Chapter 1611 Cat Statue In the Trader''s Realm, All the traders in the low-level, mid-level and even high-level Trader''s Realm received a notice from the Special Trader''s Notice Agency. "Someone is using the Special Trader''s Notice Agency after a long time." "It looks like he must be some rich cultivator from the top sects or the mysterious cultivators from the Dragon Region." "Of course, he is rich. See properly how much he was offering for a single drop of nt Essence." "I agree. One billion for one drop of a nt Essence? It''s ten times more than the regr auction price." "Even though I know that the nt Essence is very rare, it is definitely not worth one billion Trader''s Tokens." "Who cares? I have 3 drops of nt Essence which I am nning to sell and get three billion Trader''s Tokens and buy some bloodline awakening pills that are going to be auctioned off in this month''s monthly auction." "Yes¡­yes, who cares? I have 2 drops of nt Essence I saved to nurture the nts in my medicinal garden. Since there are some bloodline awakening pills, I was thinking of taking a loan; however, who would have thought that this notice woulde at the right time." All the traders in the Trader Realm were surprised that someone was using the costliest service; however, when they read the details of that notice, those who had nt essence became happy and those who sold for a few days had regrets and those who didn''t have nt Essence just sighed. Also, some wanted to find ways to collect the nt essence and started venturing into ces that might have nt Essence. If it was before, they would have not risked their lives; however, just yesterday all the auction houses in the Trader''s Realm revealed some top items that they were auctioning off this month. Among them, there were Bloodline Awakening Pills. That''s right! It was Ajax''s n to announce the auctioning of the Bloodline Awakening Pills followed by the Special Nontice of buying a drop of nt Essence for one billion which was ten times more than its regr price. Hence, all the traders in the Trader''s Realm would bring out the nt Essence that they were saving for the future or any other use without any hesitation to exchange for the money. Since both the Auction houses and the Special Trader''s Notice Agency maintain their clients'' details as a secret, no one could guess that he was behind both things. As soon as they received the notice, the traders who had nt Essence, whether it was a single drop or 10 drops, hurriedly rushed to the Auction Houses to sell them. In just a few minutes, the entire 100 billion Trader''s Tokens that Ajax kept as a deposit with the Agency were used up. "Master, the entire deposit has been used up in just five minutes. What should I do now? Shall I remove the notice?" In the Agency''s office in the High-level Trader''s Realm, the attendant who received Ajax''s request hurriedly informed the Master of the agency. "There is no need to remove the notice and continue to buy as much nt essence as possible." The master of the agency was not a human or a dragon or not even a living creature, it was a statue. That''s right! It was a ck-coloured cat statue.I think you should take a look at When it heard the attendant''s anxious words, it asked her to calm down and said not to remove the notice. "But¡­.the deposit is already over and if the client can''t pay after we purchase more drops of nt Essence, then it would be a problem for us." The attendant was still anxious as she informed the cat statue. "Haha¡­you are a new attendant, right? No wonder you are bing anxious over nothing." A burst ofughter came from the cat statue as it asked, "You still don''t how our agency works, right?" Before the attendant could answer, the cat statue continued to speak, "I have already done the background check on the client and ording to the information registered into the Trader''s Realm, he owns aNormal Dwarf World¡­it''s a Normal Dwarf world." When it spoke about the NormalDwarf World, the attendant could sense the excitement from the cat statue. "If he can''t pay back the additional money we spent on collecting the nt Essence for him, we have the full rights to take over his world¡­haha." The cat statue ended its exnation with an evilugh. "A regr Normal World can''t be purchased even if we spend 100 trillion trader''s tokens and if he failed to pay us the remaining money, we can get a special world like Normal Dwarf World with ease¡­Master, you are very intelligent." Soon, the attendant went back and informed the three auction houses in the three levels of the Trader''s Realm to continue to purchase the nt Essence without any limit. ''As long as I can pull off this transaction, I can get a huge fortune and can buy a smaller world and be an Emperor to it.'' The female attendants could not help but get excited as the auction houses bought more drops of nt Essence. ¡­. In one of the Special Trader''s Lounges in the Trader''s Realm, While many traders were busy trying to collect the nt Essence, a group of cultivators were having a meeting. Even though they saw the notice and were momentarily surprised, they didn''t bother to think much about it as they didn''t have time for such things. "So, how long will it take for the appearance of a peak Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith to appear in the worlds we have already cleared?" Morgana, the sect leader of the Shadow Veil Sect asked an old man sitting across the table. The old man has dragon scales on his hands as he rubbed them and exined, "What''s the hurry, Madam Morgana? As I said I don''t have control over it; however, it won''t be long." "Once that happens, the Stormfire Wyvern World would be in big trouble¡­.Hehe." Chapter 1612 Malgazar, The Fire Dragon Emperor "Once that happens, the Stormfire Wyvern World would be in big trouble¡­.Hehe." The old man evilly chuckled before asking, "Can I get this year''s payment?" "Hm" Morgana nodded her head and signalled the youngdy who was covering her face with a veil and standing behind her. "Sir Malgazar, in that storage ring, there are 10 smaller world cores. I hope you can take care of the Stormfire Wyvern World and get your hands on the Stormfire." While the youngdy was giving a storage ring to the old man, Morgana spoke again and at the end of her words, Malgazar could sense the warning. ''Damn, this old b*tch¡­just wait until I get my hands on the Stormfire and join the ranks of the Dragonheart Society.'' The old man cursed Morgana under his breath; however, he didn''t show it on his face as he replied with a confident smile. "Don''t worry, Sect Leader Morgana. If everything goes as I nned, a peak-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith would appear within a month." "By now, there might be dozens or high-level Darkfire Wraiths in all the worlds that the Stormfire Wyvern World had cleared and the disappearance of their young emperor realm cultivators might have already started." "By the time they realize it, a peak-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith would be born and it would bete to do anything." Even though the old man, who was the Fire Dragon Emperor of a Greater Dragon World, didn''t like working with humans, he had no other choice other than to take help from the Shadow Veil Sect. Somehow, they were able to find a method to nurture the Darkfire Wraiths; however, they were still working on controlling them. Nevertheless, he decided to use them to destroy the Stormfire Wyvern World and at the same time take the Sentient me that the world owns. After long discussions and careful nning, he had formed a contract with the Shadow Veil Sect to help each other in secret. Once Malgazar gets his hands on the Sentient me, the Stormfire, all the disciples of the Shadow Veil sect could undergo free body tempering with the Sentient me. Of course, the sect would charge the disciples to undergo the body tempering whereas the sect doesn''t have to pay the Greater Fire Dragon World anything. "I hope it goes well and at the same time you keep your word after you get your hands on the Sentient me." Morgana sipped the medicinal tea and once again warned the old man, "If anyone from the Dragonheart Society learns about the things you have done and are doing, I don''t have to exin in detail, right?" "I won''t dare to go back on my words, Madam Morgana." The old man shuddered just thinking about the consequences; however, he had already thought of a good n on how to manage the Dragonheart Society. ''Just you wait.'' The old man clenched his fists and decided to take his leave. "By the way, I have important news with me and luckily, I can tell that news to you for those 10 smaller world cores." Morgana thought about it for a moment and said, "And I also have a request if you decide to pay them."I think you should take a look at "Important news?" The old man raised his brows and asked, "Aren''t 10 smaller world cores a little high?" "No. They are not at all high whenpared to the news I am going to say." From the beginning, Morgana was not anxious and remained calm as though everything was going in her way. She was even confident that the old man in front of her would definitely agree to her terms. "Since Madam Morgana assured me, I will pay." There was no hesitation as he returned the storage ring that contained 10 smaller world cores to the veiled youngdy and waited for Morgana to say the important news. "The Celestial Dawn Realm will be opening in a month and the Celestial Dawn Sect is nning to charge 100 times more than the usual fee for non-humans cultivators." Morgana continued in her usual calm voice, "The reason for the increase in the entry fee was because the age restriction had been lifted from 100 to 500." Malgazar was shocked when he heard the entry fee; however, when he heard the reason for that, his eyes lit up. "Thank you, Madam Morgana. This is really an interesting piece of news. I can start making preparations ahead of others." Even though Malgazar was an emperor of a Greater Dragon World and even a peak emperor realm cultivator, he didn''t have high status in the Dragno Region. He was tired of waiting for an opportunity and thus, he joined hands with the Shadow Veil Sect Leader Morgana to create his own opportunity. Now, he heard another piece of news that could be considered a huge opportunity for him and his entire world to rise in the ranks. "Even though others will know this news in two weeks, you can have enough time to prepare enough funds before they announce it. At the same time, make sure you equip all kinds of equipment for your people because it would be more dangerous than in the past." "Of course, I will try my best, Madam Morgana." Malgazar nodded his head with an excited look on his face as he didn''t forget to ask her about the request she mentioned previously. "Order your cultivators to kill the disciples from the other top five sects except for my sect after entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. I will be looking forward to seeing the performance of your cultivators." Morgana said her piece and didn''t wait for Malgazar''s reply and quietly left the Special Trader''s Lounge. Even though the top sects except for the Celestial Dawn Realm had already formed an alliance to take care of the disciples from the Celestial Dawn Realm, Morgana wanted the other sects to suffer some losses inside the Celestial Dawn Realm. Hence, she asked Malgazar to take care of the other top sects. ''This b*tch''s appetite is very big.'' Malgazar shook his head and quietly left the Trader''s Realm to start the preparations for the Celestial Dawn Realm. Chapter 1613 [Bonus ] Massacre In World No. 1021, [Spectral Merge] An eerie voice came from the distance as the remaining 4000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths started merging. ''Don''t tell me they are merging to be mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths.'' Ajax was satisfied with his Demi-God Level Sword Technique; however, before he could enjoy his sword strikes, he saw the merging process of the Spectral Creatures and frowned. It only took a few moments as the 4000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths merged into 400 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Nevermind¡­if they be mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, I can get mid-level Darkfire Crystals.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried much about it; instead, he became excited to see the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Guys, it''s a good opportunity to push your limits." Even the dozens of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths that Draco and others were fighting, also merged into mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. However, there were only three mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. So, Ajax said that it was a good opportunity because as long as they tried their best, they could kill a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith each, not to mention, there were only three Darkfire Wraiths in front of them. "Wynd and Fyre will fight one, I and Fangron will fight one each." Draco didn''t exin much as he directly rushed towards one of the mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths while muttering, ''Two minutes¡­I should kill it in two minutes.'' Earlier, he set a target of ten minutes to kill a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith; however, now, Draco had a weapon and he wanted to push himself to the limit and kill it within two minutes. "Five minutes." "Three minutes." At the same time, Fangorn and the humanoid Wyvern brothers also set a target for themselves and with eyes full of battle intent, they became their fights. It was a habit for all the squad members in this squad to set a time for themselves while fighting their opponents and as long as theypleted the goal in time, it meant that their strength increased. "Let''s get this fight done as soon as possible." On the other hand, Ajax finally focused on the fight to end it as soon as possible because he wanted to see how much these so-called Darfire Crystals would help his Fire and Dark elemental spirits. The main reason why he was staying back was not to help Draco and others; instead, it was to help himself and make his elemental spirits stronger. For that reason, Ajax felt fighting 400 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths was much better than fighting 4000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. [Thousand des Torrent] [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''sh'' ''Ding, The host killed 12 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Ding, The host killed 10 Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. . . Even though the Darkfire Wraiths became strong after merging, they were still much weaker whenpared to Ajax as his Demi-God Level Techniques could easily kill dozens of them in a single move.I think you should take a look at Time continued to pass and five minutes passed by in a sh. Other than Ajax and his fellow squad members, not a single Darkfire Wraith could be seen around them. Draco and others were gasping for breath as they watched the shining reddish ck-coloured crystals around them with an excited look on their face. "I have never seen so many Darkfire Crystals at once in my life." "Same here." "It was all possible because of monst¡­.Brother Ajax." Fangorn and the humanoid Wyvern brothers could not help but look at Ajax as though he was a monster. "With these many Darkfire Crystals, we can finally¡­." "Fangorn, those Darkfire Crystals do not belong to us. So, don''t think about them." Before Fangorn could finish his words, Draco interrupted him, "Also, we have already gained so much on this trip." While Ajax was fighting thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with hundreds of mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, Draco and others had killed nearly 100 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and five mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. If it was before, they would have been on cloud nine with 100 low-level Darkfire Crystals and five mid-level Darkfire Crystals. Hence, Draco reminded them about their gains from this trip. "Yes, Leader." Fangorn knew he became a little greedy there and soon, nodded his head. "Anyway, let''s help Brother Ajax collect all these Darkfire Crystals." If not for Ajax, they would have gained nothing much on this trip and helping him with the Darkfire Crystals was the least thing they could do. With the help of the five more hands, it didn''t take much time to collect all the scattered Darkfire Crystals. "Brother Ajax, why do you think that high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith is noting out to fight us?" After collecting all the Darkfire Crystals, Draco asked Ajax hoping that Ajax had an answer. "I don''t know; however, I am very sure that it is very angry at us and will soone out to fight us." Unlike the low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith has the ability to think and even speak. When Ajax hadpletely killed all the Darkfire Wraiths, he heard a low but angry eerie voice. So, Ajax was sure that it was very angry and woulde for him soon. "What do you think we should do now, Brother Ajax? We have already gained so many Darkfire Crystals. So, I think it is better to leave this world." If that high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraithes right away, Draco would have not said these words because he was having a bad feeling about that Darkfire Wraith which was still noting out despite losing all its minions. "Let''s rest for some time and think about what he has to do." Ajax also felt that the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was up to no good; however, he wanted to check something first. Hence, he suggested that they should take some rest and the others agreed without saying anything. ''Ding, The host needs to kill all the inhabitants of this world to enter the Core Realm of the World. ''So, it''s possible.'' Suddenly, Ajax''s eyes lit up with excitement when he heard that system notification. Chapter 1614 High-Level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith While Ajax was fighting with the Darkfire Wraiths, he suddenly had a thought, ''Since this is a world, it will also have a world core, right?'' So, finally, when the fight was finished, Ajax wanted to check whether it was possible to extract the world cores from the worlds in the Dark Region. ''Ding, The host needs to kill all the inhabitants of this world to enter the Core Realm of the World. Once he saw the system notification, Ajax was excited because it was possible to extract the world cores from these Dark Region worlds. Even though he could not extract the world core right away, Ajax can do it once he takes care of all the inhabitants. Extracting the world cores was the same for the other worlds where he had to kill all the inhabitants and then his consciousness could enter the World''s Core Realm to extract the world core. ''With Alder and the other devourer eagle kings'' help, I can open the portals to the other worlds and clear them all.'' Thinking about that, Ajax could not help but be excited as he muttered, ''Not only can I get Darkfire Crystals but I can also get world cores.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly how useful these so-called Darkfire Crystals were for his Fire and Dark elemental spirits, Ajax wanted to collect as many Darkfire Crystals as possible and test themter. ''Anyway, it seems these Darkfire Crystals were quite useful and I can use the Trader''s Realm to sell them anonymously just like the World Cores.'' If anyone saw him selling so many Darkfire Crystals, it would raise suspicions and it would be possible to connect with the destruction of the Worlds in the Dark Region. After figuring out that it was indeed possible to extract the world cores, Ajax didn''t open his eyes as he continued to n how to extract the world cores and the darkfire crystals from the other Dark Worlds without anyone knowing about it. Even though he might seem like he was thinking too much, it was just that Ajax didn''t want to be hunted by all the powerhouses from all regions. ''It looks like I found a safe way to farm for the world cores.'' Once Ajax felt that he had thought of a solid n, he could not help but look forward to it. ''The only problem is I should gain their loyalty.'' That''s right! Ajax needed someone from the Stormfire Wyvern World to enter the Dark Region and farm for the Darkfire Crystals and the World Cores because as a human, he could not ess the Teleportation Portal to the Dark Region unless he was in an exploration squad. Soon, he started thinking of the first step of his n which was to make Draco and others loyal to him so that they won''t reveal some of his secrets to the others. ''They don''t have to hide those things for long and just need to hide it for a few months.'' ¡­. "Leader, can you guess why there are so many Darkfire Wraiths in this already explored world?" "It is because of the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. I heard that the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths have the ability to absorb the Evil Dark Energy in this world to create the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." "What? A high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith has such an insane ability?" "Not only can it create them but it can also merge them to create mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." "If a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith appeared in this world, then it might be possible for them to appear in other explored worlds, right?" "It''s very much possible." While Ajax was thinking about a n to make Draoc and others loyal to him, they were having a conversation about the appearance of the huge number of Darkfire Wraiths in the world.I think you should take a look at "We should inform the Higher-ups about these changes in the explored worlds." After having a conversation, Draco and others concluded that they should inform the higher-ups in the Stormfire Wyvern World about the appearance of the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. ¡­.. ''Boom'' Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in the distance that made both Ajax and others alert. "What''s that?" "I see something moving in that smoke." "Everyone, be careful and stay alert." Draco and others stood side by side in a fighting stance because they could tell whatever was inside the smoke, it was not a good thing for them. ''So, it finally came out.'' On the other hand, Ajax received the system notification regarding the information about the creature inside the smoke and revealed a slight smile on his face. ''Tap'' ''Tap'' "Are you waiting for me?" Soon, a Darkfire Wraith with legs slowly walked out of the smoke and asked them in an eerie tone. The Darkfire Wraiths that Ajax and others fought until now didn''t have any legs; instead, they floated one meter from the ground. However, the current Darkfire Wraith in front of them has legs and the fire around its head was pitch-ck with purple dots in it. As for the Darkfire Crystal in its body, it was protected by a ckish purple-coloured shell, unlike the transparent shells that the low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths had. It was evident that it was none other than the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. "Yes." From the aura emitted by the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, Draco and others felt like they were suffocating; however, Ajax felt nothing as he stood in front of them before nodding his head and informing Drago, "Run as far as you can. Once I take care of it, I wille and find you guys." "Okay." Draco and others nodded their heads and quietly moved away from Ajax. "Since you have finallye out of your hiding shell, shall we put an end to our fight now?" After sending them away, Ajax didn''t forget to mock the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, making it even more furious. **** Sorry for the dy. Two more chapters will being soon. Chapter 1615 Darkfire Wraiths Reinforcements (1) "Human, you are both powerful and arrogant." The High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith suppressed its anger and said, "I don''t like both of them." [Dark Spectral ws] As soon as Darkfire Wraith finished its words, it rushed towards Ajax with huge transparent ws on both hands. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a side step, Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared 100 meters opposite the direction that Draco and others ran off to. ''Swoosh'' The Darkfire Wraith didn''t stop as it turned around and rushed towards Ajax once again. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' However, Ajax casually dodged it again. "Damn you, if you have guts, stop dodging my attacks and fight me properly." The process was repeated a few more times before the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith got frustrated with Ajax''s actions and shouted at him. "I am just a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator whereas you are a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. So, I can only use cheap tricks to fight you." After going through many things, Ajax didn''t care about righteous things or underhanded things during the fight. For him, do everything in a fight and win the match. The world won''t listen to a loser or care about him. Moreover, ording to the cultivation-wise, there were two minor realm gaps between them. ''Also, who cares about the righteous fight with an evil creature?'' With that thought in mind, Ajax continued to annoy and irritate the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. "B*stard." [Spectral Army] The high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith became angry as it used its special skill. ''Swoosh'' Soon, 100 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths appeared around it. [Spectral Merge] Without wasting any time, it used another skill to merge them into 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Everyone, use the [Dark Spectral ws] on him." After ordering the 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, it looked at Ajax and said, "Now, let''s see where you will escape to now." ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths moved in different directions and as for the main Darkfire Wraith, it rushed towards Ajax with the same attack. "It looks like they moved far away already. I think I can fight now." As for Ajax, he looked in the direction in which Draco and others ran off and after confirming that they were no longer visible to his eyes, Ajax decided to fight. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' Looking at the iing high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, Ajax used his movement technique again; however, unlike before, he didn''t teleport. Instead, he used it to fasten his movements and senses.I think you should take a look at [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] Ajax casually dodged the iing Spectral w and slightly pushed the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith with his palm. The reason why Ajax kept dodging until now was that he didn''t want Draco and others to see him killing a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in a short time. Moreover, he had thought of another n that didn''t require Ajax to make Draco and others loyal to him. ''As long as I can make them believe that I was with them in this world, everything will be alright! Moreover, I could even get a perfect alibi.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head and decided to drag the fight until Draco and the others went far away from him. ''Boom'' In the next second, there was a loud rumbling sound before the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith got pushed back by more than 10 meters. "Y-you¡­can you be so powerful with your low-level Emperor Realm Cultivation?" Even though the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith was still alive, it felt that if Ajax had a little more power, it would have died without knowing how. At the same time, it was shocked at Ajax for being able to make it feel threatened by him. "Everyone, attack him once." It could already tell that Ajax was not a normal Emperor Realm Cultivator because he was able to kill thousands and hundreds of low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths respectively. Nevertheless, it was still shocking that the human had a strength that could nearly kill a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith in a single attack. Hence, he ordered all its 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths to work together to kill him. Since Ajax was no longer dodging it, it decided to give that order while thinking of its next n. ''From the confident look on his face, I am sure that it would be only a matter of time before he kills them. It looks like I have to call for help.'' Looking at Ajax who was easily fighting the 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and even injuring them with his palm technique, the main Darkfire Wraith felt Ajax was much more powerful than it initially assumed. Therefore, after some hesitation, it decided to call for help. ''Attention¡­.attention¡­attention.'' Once it decided, there was no longer any hesitation as the main Darkfire Wratih moved away from Ajax and started calling for help. ''There is a human who was capable of fighting my 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths without sweating after killing my entire army. If he was not killed, I am worried we will all be killed once again along with our armies.'' It was transmitting its voice and briefly informed about Ajax''s battle prowess and of course, it didn''t forget to exaggerate his battle prowess as it didn''t want to be mocked by them. ''What did you say?'' ''There is such a powerful human? And why would a human enter this world?'' ''Aren''t the worlds in this part of the region exclusively for the Stormfire Wyvern Worlds?'' ''Didn''t the Shadow Veil Sect say that one low-level Emperor Realm cultivator would enter this world? And why would such a powerful human appear in this world?'' . . . In the next second, the Darfire Wraith received a series of questions belonging to different voices and all of them were eerie. "Juste out with your armies and take care of this human first before discussing these things." The Darkfire Wraith replied furiously and asked them to rush towards it as soon as possible. ''Human, just enjoy thest moments of your life. Once they arrive, it will be the end for you.'' Looking at Ajax, the Darkfire Wraith could not help but reveal an evil smile. **** A bonus Chapter ising soon...send a gift to receive more bonus chapters. Chapter 1616 [Bonus ] Darkfire Wraiths Reinforcements (2) ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''sh'' As the Darkfire Wraith were looking at Ajax as though it was looking at a soon-to-be-dead thing, Ajax was training with the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Of course, Ajax was only using his basic attacks as he wanted to see how strong his body and normal attacks were. Nevertheless, from time to time, he would release cultivation techniques like [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm], [Celestial Void Step] and the [Thousand des Torrent]. ''Let him kill them; however, once the otherse here, I can take my revenge on him.'' Even though the Darkfire Wraith was fuming with anger, it didn''t dare to fight Ajax and allowed him to kill its minions. The only thing that it wanted from his minions was to stall Ajax for some more time. Even if it was not fighting, Darkfire Wraith was recovering its minor injuries from Ajax''s earlier attack and it wanted to be at its peak condition by the time its reinforcements came here. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' "I think it''s enough for today''s training." Suddenly, Ajax moved away from the 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and said, "Thanks to you, I was able to understand how strong my physical body is and how many cultivators I can find at once." "Now, it is time to end this fight." As soon as he said that, Ajax no longer wasted any time as he directly used [Thousand des Torrent] with full power. ''Swoosh'' The ten sword waves merged and then demerged into thousand des before turning the 10 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths into thousands of pieces. "T-this¡­he is only using his partial strength until now?" The Darkfire Wraith that was observing Ajax and its minions from the distance was shocked to see how easily Ajax was able to kill them. Finally, it understood that whatever the exaggerated words it said to its reinforcements through the voice transmission was not exaggeration anymore. ''I have to run away from here¡­run away from here and meet up with others. Only by doing that, we can kill this b*stard.'' Even though it was shocked to see how easily Ajax was able to kill ten of its minions with ease, it believed Ajax could be killed as long as it worked together with the other Darkfire Wraith Leaders. However, it''s been only a couple of minutes since they called for help and it would take some time for them to arrive. Until then, it had to survive, right? Hence, without any hesitation, it decided to run away. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' "Didn''t you want to kill me? Where are you running off to now?" With a single step, Ajax appeared beside the flying away Darkfire Wraith and asked with a slight smile on his face. [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm]I think you should take a look at ''Boom'' At the same time, without waiting for the Darkfire Wraith''s response, Ajax sted it with his full power. ''Damn it¡­damn it¡­I have to stall for some time.'' Even though it was a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith just like its minions, it was much stronger than them and even when Ajax used his full power Paln Technique, it was not enough to seriously injure it not to mention killing it. On the other hand, the Darkfire Wraith was not showing any battle intent and only focused on how it could survive until the reinforcements arrived. "Human, aren''t you curious about why an explored world has so many of the Darkfire Wraiths?" Suddenly, it thought of something to stall for some time and hurriedly asked Ajax while covering its chest in which the Darkfire Crystal was situated. "Of course, I am curious." Ajax didn''t hesitate as he nodded his head and asked, "What is it? Tell me." "If you are willing to spare my life, I will tell you." The Darkfire Wraith knew that the ones who came to explore this world would definitely be curious about the appearance of so many Darkfire Wraiths and hence, it used this chance to stall for time. "Fine then¡­there is no need to tell me anything and I don''t care." Even though Ajax was curious about it, he felt it was not important to him as he could just execute a n that he devised earlier to farm for more Darkfire Crystals and the World Cores. Hence, Ajax said that there was no need to tell him anything. "Wait¡­wait¡­I will tell¡­tell" Seeing that Ajax was rushing to kill it, it decided to tell him and stall for some time. "A group of humans found a way to revive us and what''s more after we are revived and returned to this world, our strength rose rapidly and we even learned some powerful skills." "We can produce ten low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith per day and¡­." The Darkfire Wraith started exining things as slowly as possible to stall for time and even Ajax felt what it was trying to do. However, when the Darkfire Wraith mentioned humans, it piqued his interest and he continued to listen to it before asking some questions. "Do you know about the humans who revive you? And who sent you here? Also, how they were able to do it without anyone noticing at the Teleportation Center?" "I don''t know much about them; however, I faintly remember that an olddy was in charge and everyone was calling her Sect Leader." "These humans stuffed her into some storage-type devices and when we gained our consciousness, we were already back in this world." "As for who and how they were able to send us here, it is still a mystery for me." The Darkfire Wraith didn''t answer all the questions as it took some time before answering another question. ''ording to Draco and others, I am the first human to enter the Dark Region using the Stormfire Wyvern World and since this world No 1021 is under their control, that sect leader''s men can''t enter unless there is a spy or a traitor¡­'' "Thank you for listening to my story¡­it is finally time for you to die." As Ajax was thinking about what the Darkfire Wraith was telling, he heard its excited voice and what followed next was the appearance of nine more Darkfire Wraiths with legs which meant they are all high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "It''s alright! You lessen my troubles of going to look for them. Thank you." On the other hand, Ajax was not anxious as he revealed a slight smile and thanked the Darkfire Wraith while looking at its reinforcements. Chapter 1617 Darkfire Wraith Leaders Ajax had already decided to extract the World Core from World NO. 1021 and to do that, he needed to kill all the inhabitants of the world. For this world, the inhabitants were the Darkfire Wraiths and Ajax had to kill them. Hence, looking at the nine more new Darkfire Wraiths that looked just like the first Darkfire Wraith, Ajax revealed a slight smile and thanked it. "..." Seeing that, the first Darkfire Wraith frowned; however, the other nine Darkfire Wraiths could not help but scoff at his words. "First, you can''t even kill a puny human with a cultivation of low-level Emperor Realm Cultivation?" At the same time, they analyzed Ajax and could not help but mock the first Darkfire Wraith that stalled for time. "That brat is dangerous." However, the First Darkfire Wraith didn''t mind as it suggested, "I suggest that you summon all your armies and merge them into high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths; otherwise, your army will be killed in vain like mine." "All our armies? Just for him?" A few Darkfire Wraiths thought that the First Darkfire Wraith had be insane after losing its army and scoffed at it. Initially, when they received the call for help from the First Darkfire Wraith, they thought it was some powerful human cultivator; however, after seeing that it was just a young human with a cultivation of low-level Emperor Realm, they felt that they were fooled by the First Darkfire Wraith. That''s the reason why they were angry and could not help but continue to mock the First Darfire Wraith. "Let''s not waste our time and kill that human before focusing on our cultivation." Another two or three Darkfire Wraiths didn''t want to waste their time and suggested they take care of Ajax as soon as possible before going back to whatever they were doing. "50 percent of my army is more than enough to deal with." Suddenly, one Darkfire Wraith came forward and waved his hands. In the next second, nearly 5000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths appeared. [Spectral Merge] Without wasting any time, it merged all those low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths into 500 mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and further merged them into 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Kill him." ''Swoosh'' With a single order from him, those 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths rushed towards Ajax to kill him. "Thank you for merging as I can get high-level Darkfire Crystals." [Thousand des Torrent] On the other hand, Ajax once again thanked them as he shed his sword at the iing high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths creating a thousand des. Since his opponents were high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax was not holding himself back as he used the full-powered strike to kill them in a single sh. ''sh'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha''I think you should take a look at In the next second, among those 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, half of them were instantly killed and as for the remaining ones, they were severely injured. At the same time, Ajax didn''t give any time for them to recover or counterattack as he rushed forward and killed them with his basic sword shes with the help of his level 6 Sword Dao. ''...'' Looking at how easily Ajax killed those 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, the remaining Darkfire Wraiths finally believed the words of the First Darkfire Wraith. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consconscious had be empty. Please fill it with the Divine Essence of Nature before using any of the cultivation techniques. Suddenly, Ajax received a system notification which he was already expecting. ''It''s time to circte the Dragon-Soaring Nine Heaven cultivation technique.'' Earlier, Ajax had already tested it and it really worked; however, the efficiency was quite low. It would take at least three minutes to recover one unit of Divine Essence of Nature and whenpared to the cultivation speed from the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax had to work three times harder to get a single unit of Divine Essence of Nature. ''It''s alright! As long as I can get the Divine Essence of Nature, I can manage.'' Even though Ajax seemed to rely on his new Demi-God level Cultivation Techniques to fight the huge number of Darkfire Wraiths, he didn''t need them to defeat a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. However, to increase his killing speed, Ajax used those cultivation techniques and now, since Ajax had spent all his Divine Essence of Nature, he could slow down his killing speed while circting his main cultivation technique to increase his Divine Essence of Nature. "Did you see that? Now, do you believe me?" The First Darkfire Wraith could not help but be satisfied with Ajax''s performance as he shouted at the other Darkfire Wraiths and asked them. "Everyone, let''s summon all our armies and take care of them at once." Soon, the remaining Darkfire Wraiths knew that the humans in front of them were abnormal and hence, they decided to use their full armies to take care of Ajax. Even though these Darkfire Wraiths were stronger than the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths they summon, they knew Ajax could still kill them. Why would they take such a risk when they have their minions? Even if their minions could not kill the human cultivator in front of them, they could at least tire him out. Once the human gets exhausted, it would be a piece of cake for them to kill him. "While you summon your armies, I will take a break." As soon as he said those words, Ajax boldly sat cross-legged on the ground and started circting the Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens. ''What?'' ''Is he an idiot or genius? Doesn''t he know that cultivating in this world is deadly to the non-dark elemental beings?'' ''Who cares? Let him cultivate here and corrode himself to death.'' ''It looks like he had a death wish.'' ''If he kills himself, it will make things easier for us'' The onlooking ten Darkfire Wraiths frowned; however, they let him cultivate, hoping Ajax to corrode himself to death. Soon, the Evil Dark Energy from a radius of 100 kilometers around Ajax was being sucked into Ajax''s body as the Darkfire Wraiths watched with mocking smiles on their faces. Chapter 1618 Summoning In The Dark World A few kilometers away from Ajax''s location, "Captain, do you think Brother Ajax would be fine against a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith?" "If we fight together, I think we can defeat it." Fangorn and the two brothers were concerned about Ajax as they asked various questions to Draco while suggesting they should fight together to defeat the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. "Do you really think that we can help Brother Ajax?" On the other hand, Draco shook his head as he said, "We will only distract Brother Ajax with our presence. Since he said that he could take care of a high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, we should trust him with that." Of course, that trust was based on something as Ajax had proved himself by massacring thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with hundreds of mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, they felt the Evil Dark Energy around them moving towards the direction they just came from. "Does that high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith use some special move or what?" This was the only thought in the heads of Draco and others as they worriedly looked in the direction that Ajax was supposedly fighting the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. ''I hope Brother Ajax can at least escape if he can''t kill it.'' Even though they met for less than half a day, Ajax had helped them a lot and they felt they owed him for his help. Hence, they were hoping that Ajax could at least escape and meet up with them so that they could either form a n to kill it or just leave the world. ¡­. [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] On the other side, Ajax was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed without being scared of the attacks from the Darkfire Wraith. He was circting the God-level Cultivation Technique as the Evil Dark Energy within a 100-kilometer radius was being sucked into the body like a ck hole. ording to the system''s description of the cultivation technique, Ajax could convert the essence of nature avable in nature into the Divine Essence of Nature. Hence, the Evil Dark Essence of Nature around him was also one of the energies in this universe, Ajax knew that it won''t be a problem to absorb the Evil Dark Energy around him. As for the conversion, his God-level Cultivation Technique along with his Divine Spirit Consciousness would take care of that. ''Thanks to the Divine Spirit Consciousness, my senses have upgraded by a huge margin as I can even sense that the Darkfire Wraith didn''t have any intention to fight me.'' Ajax figured out another use of his Divine Spirit Consciousness, making him excited as he was looking forward to seeing more such benefits in the future. Seeing Ajax''s speed of absorption, made the Darkfire Wraiths frown as they felt something was not right. Even their speed of absorption was not that great; however, the human in front of them was like a monster with an endless appetite absorbing the Evil Dark Energy. ''Ding, The host gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. After three minutes, Ajax had gained one unit and continued to circte the cultivation technique. "Why is he still alright?" "Why is he not showing any signs of corrosion?" "Something is definitely not right!" "Don''t tell me he has an affinity with Dark Elements." Looking at how Ajax was still perfectly fine, the ten Darkfire Wraiths frowned and felt something was not right.I think you should take a look at In the end, they concluded that Ajax might have an affinity with Dark Element. "Everyone, let''s kill him." Once they came to that conclusion, they were not fools to let Ajax continue to cultivate and recover his strength. Hence, they decided to kill Ajax. "[Spectral Army]" Soon, they started using the special skill that could bring all the Darkfire Wraiths to them under their control no matter where they were in the World. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the eight Darkfire Wraiths summoned around 10000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and as for the Darkfire Wraith that already had 5000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, it could only summon the remaining half of its army. The First Darkfire Wraith could only look at those armies with mixed emotions. [Spectral Merge] ''Swoosh'' Even with such huge armies, these Darkfire Wraiths didn''t dare to attack Ajax directly because they assumed that Ajax might have a trump card on him. If not, who would dare to cultivate in front of his enemies with his eyes closed? Hence, they decided to merge all the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths into high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths before ordering them to attack. In less than two minutes, the 85000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths turned into 850 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. If possible, they wanted to merge them into peak-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths; however, they didn''t have the ability yet. "Everyone, attack him at the same time." Soon, the nine Darkfire Wraiths ordered their high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths to attack Ajax. ''Huh? They are very cautious after losing 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths.'' Ajax could hear their words loud and clear and at the same time, he sensed hundreds of high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths were rushing towards him. ''It''s time to call them for help.'' Ajax didn''t bother to move from his ce as he called a few names. "Twilight, Necros, Ghost, Zen, Nite, and Dabrus,e out and help your master a little." ''Swoosh'' "Roar" "Master, we are dying to help you." Soon, a huge Purple-coloured Dragon, a ck-coloured four-eyed fox along with four ck-coloured elemental spirits appeared in front of Ajax with excited looks on their faces. Even though it''s only been a couple of days since they returned from destroying some demonic worlds, they felt it''s been years and were itching to fight. "This time, the enemies are a little powerful for you, guys, who are yet to break through to the Emperor Realm. But, worry not, I will boost your strength for an hour and you finish them." ''[Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline], activate.'' Chapter 1619 [Bonus ] Like Master, Like Beast The worlds in the Dark Region were filled with Evil Dark Energy. Generally, the normal Dark Energy won''t affect the cultivators unless they absorb the Dense Dark Energy for a long time. Since it was not normal Dark Energy, the cultivators who enter these worlds would swallow Energy Dispelling Pills to stop their bodies from being corroded by the Evil Dark Energy. However, it was a different story for the beings with the Dark elemental affinity as they could not only survive in these worlds but their cultivation speed also increased by multiple times. Hence, Ajax summoned all the Dark-type Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts that he had in his Inner World. The most powerful elemental spirit Necros was an Undead/Dark type elemental spirit whereas Zen was a purple Dark Elemental Spirit. Nite belongs to a Dark/Beast type and Dabrus was a Dark/Magic type elemental spirit. The Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon is a pure Dark type beast and as for the Four-eyed Ghost fox, it is a Dark and illusion type beast. In short, these elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts don''t have to swallow the Energy Dispelling Pills while staying in the Dark Worlds. "Let me give you a boost to fight those high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths." Of the six summoned beings that Ajax summoned, none of them reached the emperor realm; however, their opponents were all high-level Emperor Realm beings. Hence, Ajax thought to give them some boost with his bloodline to make up the difference between the strengths of his summoned beings with the high-level Emperor Realm Wraiths. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the six summoned beings felt the familiar boost in their strength as they looked at the iing high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and revealed excited looks on their faces. Ajax''s all summoned beings always wanted to fight and increase their strength because there were so many elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts under Ajax. It was like apetition for who bes the strongest one among Ajax''s summoned beings. [Dark Beast Transformation] Nite, Ajax''s first official elemental spirit directly used one of his strongest skills that could be maintained for one hour which was the same as the bloodline boost. In the next second, it transformed into a 10-meter huge panther and started attacking the iing high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with the skills it gained after its transformation. [Dark Magical Vines] Dabrus, Ajax''s second official elemental spirit summoned hundreds of ck-coloured vines; however, he knew that individually, these vines were not strong enough to hold a single high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. But, when more than 10 vines wrap around a single high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, they could suck that Darkfire Wraith dry in just a few minutes. Not to mention, Dabrus has summoned hundreds of such energy-devouring vines and could easily take care of dozens of high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. Moreover, the energy absorbed by these vines could be used by Dabrus to increase its cultivation. [Elemental Assassin Strike] [Ghost Steps] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Zen, was an elemental spirit that Ajax gained after breaking his contract with one of the Assassin Sect''s geniuses. Instead of returning to the Elemental Spirit World, it decided to stay with Ajax and repay him for his help. Since it was an assassin-type elemental spirit. So, it was moving like a ghost, leaving behind either a severely injured high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith or the Darkfire Wraiths that lost one of their limbs. [Soul Grimoire] ''Swoosh''I think you should take a look at As for Necros, one of Ajax''s initial elemental spirits and someone that Ajax relied on in his desperate situations. Unlike the other elemental spirits, Necros stood beside Ajax as he summoned a ck-coloured grimoire that had many runes and symbols on it. As soon as he opened Soul Grimoire, ten high-level Golden Demon Emperors'' souls flew out of it. "Take care of them~" In his usual eerie voice, Necros ordered his ten undead summons while standing beside Ajax to protect him if any of the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths sneak their way to attack Ajax. [Undead Golden Armour] [Undead Golden Sword] Even though they lost their physical bodies, the ten undead Golden Demon Emperors have some of their skills and Demon Souls. With the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline, these undead summons also became five times more stronger than usual as they could casually swing their swords to kill one or two high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. [Ghost Clones] Among all the summoned beings, the four-eyed Ghost fox was weak because it excels in the illusion-type skills and such skills won''t have much effect on the Darkfire Wraiths. Nevertheless, it used its basic skills to help as much as it could while protecting itself from the iing high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Roar'' Finally, it was the most powerful contracted spirit beast below the Emperor Realm; however, it could already take care of the mid-level Emperor Realm cultivators. And now, with the help of the bloodline boost, Ajax was confident that his Divine Dragon could take care of the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. [Divine Dragon st] ''Boom'' As Ajax expected, with a simple attack, Twilight had taken care of all the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths with a st. Even though Twilight is a Dark-type beast, it was also a Divine Beast and it was known that the Divine Attacks and lightning attacks would deal a huge amount of damage to the ghost-type creatures like Darkfire Wraiths. With a single attack, Twilight had killed more than 100 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and it continued to attack the remaining Darkfire Wraiths with its other basic attacks. That''s right! Just like Ajax, after seeing how easily the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths were killed, Twilight didn''t bother to waste its full energy on them anymore. Like Master, like contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, The host''s Necro''s undead summons killed 12 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Dragon has killed 123 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. . . . As for Ajax, while he was circting the Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens, he kept receiving the system notifications in his head, which was quite motivating for him and at the same time, he was proud of his summoned beings. Chapter 1620 Giant Darkfire Wraith Emperor ''Damn it¡­he is a Dark Elemental Summoner.'' ''He has more or less the same advantage as us, the Spectral Creatures.'' ''Also, his summons are just as powerful as him.'' ''At this rate, we will lose all our armies in no time.'' While Ajax was feeling proud of his summoned contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, the 10 Darkfire Wraiths were cursing Ajax and his summoned beings. At the same time, they started thinking about how to take care of Ajax before they lose their armies. ''I think we should go for our final move.'' After thinking for a moment, the First Darkfire Wraith suggested using their final move. ''No¡­I don''t agree.'' ''Me too. In our current state, if we use that move, we might be able to kill him; however, we will soon die once the higher-ups of the human cultivators or the Dragonse here to look for this human and the other wyverns with him.'' However, the three Darkfire Wraiths instantly rejected the First Darkfire Wraith''s suggestion. ''What about you?'' The First Darkfire Wraith didn''t bother to argue with them as he looked at the six other Darkfire Wraiths and asked for their opinion. ''I think we should go with the First Darkfire Wraith.'' ''If we can''t survive today, what is the use of us having such a powerful move?'' ''First, I agree with your suggestion.'' The remaining six Darkfire Wraiths thought for a moment and decided to go with the First Darkfire Wraith''s suggestion. ''It''s seven against three.'' Seeing that the majority of the Darkfire Wraiths agreed to its suggestion, the First Darkfire Wraith heaved a sigh of relief and said to the three Darkfire Wraiths who were against its suggestion. ''ording to the rules, even if you don''t like it, we are going to use that move.'' ''Scoff'' ''Even if we survive today, we are not going to survive for long.'' ''If we use that move now, even though we can be a peak Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, we can''t awaken our [Spectral Divine Rule].'' The three Darkfire Wraiths were still against using their so-called trump card; however, they can''t do anything now as the other seven Darkfire Wraiths want to use their trump card on Ajax. Hence, they could only agree to it unwillingly. ''Let''s use it.'' Soon, the ten Darkfire Wraiths flew towards the First Darkfire Wraith and started merging into its body. ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Aargh'' Every time a Darkfire Wraith leader entered the First Darkfire Wraith''s body, it would eerily groan in pain; however, it gritted its teeth and endured it. ''Swoosh'' With each merger, the First Darkfire Wraith became powerful as two huge bat wings appeared on its back and at the same time, its body also started growing at a rapid pace. ¡­. ''Ding, The host gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. "Master, I think you should see it." As Ajax was circting his Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens cultivation technique to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness, he heard Necros'' serious eerie voice that made him open his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, Ajax saw a hideous spectral creature in the distance that was around 10 meters in height with huge bat wings on its back. ''Screech'' The merger of all ten Darkfire Wraiths had beenpleted and when the Giant Darkfire Wraith saw Ajax open his eyes, it revealed an evil smile on its ghastly face. "Human¡­you destroyed our ns¡­we are going to kill you." From the Giant Darkfire Wraith, multiple voices came at once as they eerily looked at Ajax. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 10 units / 100 units. "Is that so?" Ajax checked his Divine Spirit Consciousness which he felt was more than enough for a while as he stood up.I think you should take a look at "Everyone,e back." Before the Giant Darkfe Wraith could attack his summoned beings, Ajax ordered them to stop fighting the high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths and stand behind him. Even though his summoned beings could fight dozens of high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths at once, Ajax knew it would be hard for them to deal with the Giant Darkfire Wraith which seemed to be a peak Emperor Realm existence. ''System, do you think it has a Divine Rule?'' Ajax maintained his calm on his face as he silently asked the system about it. ording to Ajax, as long as the Giant Darkfire Wraith didn''t have a Divine Rule, he could easily kill it. ''Ding, The system can''t tell whether a certain cultivator or a being awakened a Divine Rule or not. As Ajax expected, even the system was unable to tell it and thought, ''Anyway, let''s give it a try as I wanted to figure out how powerful I am.'' Previously, Ajax fought with the Winged Golden Demon Emperor, Wingo. During that fight, Ajax was not using his full power as he was worried that he might kill Wingo as he had a mission of turning him into his subordinate. Even though he used the Divine Thunder Rule, he didn''t use any skills or attacks with it. He casually disys the power of the Divine Thunder Rule and the winged golden demon emperor already submitted to him. However, now, Ajax doesn''t have to worry about identally killing the other party and could go all out. Therefore, Ajax was excited about it. ''First, I have to test how strong it is and depending on that I have to use the Divine Thunder Rule.'' With his current body, Ajax could only use the [Divine Thunder Rule] for one minute before his body explodes due to the energy overload. Therefore, Ajax could use that double-edged sword trump card only after he understood his opponent first. [Thousand des Torrent] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax used his strongest move to kill the remaining high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths that were still left in front of him with his sword technique. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' [Heavenly Thunderstrike Palm] ''Boom'' Without wasting any time, Ajax appeared behind the Giant Darkfire Wraith and used his full-powered palm technique. ''Swoosh'' The Giant Darkfire Wraith was only pushed away by a few meters and the burnt mark on the ce where Ajax attacked was healed in no time. "It''s useless, Human. You are going to die today¡­hehe." [Mega Dark Spectral w] The multiple voices resounded as the Giant Darkfire Wraith rushed towards Ajax in an instant and swiped its signature skill at Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Ajax was fast enough to dodge the attack. "I got you¡­hehe." However, in the next second, it disappeared from its ce and appeared in front of Ajax. "Even I can teleport¡­hehe." [Mega Spectral Scream] [Mega Dark Spectral w] This time, the Giant Darkfire Wraith wanted to finish Ajax at any cost. Thus, it used another skill that could reduce the battle spirit of its opponents before using its signature skill. ''Ding, The Giant Darkfire Wraith uses a special skill to affect your battle spirit. Thanks to your Divine Spirit Consciousness, the host remains unaffected. What followed after the system notification was a Giant Darkfire Wraith swiping its huge w at Ajax; however, he didn''t have the time to dodge. So, he could only block the iing ws with his Soulsher Sword. ''Boom'' Still, Ajax was unable to escape the attackpletely as he was sted into the distance. "Cough" Nevertheless, Ajax stood up and looked at the Giant Darkfire Wraith and muttered, "It''s time to kill you now." ''Rumble'' Chapter 1621 Treasured Resources "Huh?" "He is not dead?" Seeing that Ajax stand up even after receiving theirbo skills, the Giant Darkfire Wraith frowned. "Cough¡­I thought you were strong after merging; however, it looks like you are still not strong enough." Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he said, "It''s time to kill you." [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax appeared in front of the Giant Darkfire Wraith. "It is you who is going¡­" Seeing that Ajax dared to appear right in front of it, the Giant Darkfire Wraith could not help but scoff at Ajax and was about to use one of its strongest skills. [Divine Thunder Rule] However, before they could either finish their words or use their skill, Ajax activated his Divine Rule. ''Rumble'' In the next second, many lightning sparks came out of Ajax and circled around him. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' Just the sudden activation of the Divine Thunder Rule, made the Giant Darkfire Wraith unconsciously move a few steps back. "T-this¡­is¡­a Divine Rule¡­moreover, it is a Divine Thunder Rule." The Giant Darkfire Wraith, that was confident in killing Ajax a moment ago was shocked as its ghastly face was filled with fear. "We have to escape¡­we should escape. We can''t kill him." There was no hesitation as the Giaint Darkfire Wraith decided to escape from Ajax if they wanted to survive. The thing is, if it was a normal Divine Rule, the Giant Darkfire Wraith might have fought to the death with Ajax; however, it was a Divine Thunder Rule which was quite deadly to it. Even if Ajax used the basic lightning attacks after activating the Divine Thunder Rule, it would severely injure it. Therefore, the first thought that came to mind was not how Ajax could awaken a Divine Thunder Rule with a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivation; instead, it was to escape from Ajax as soon as possible. "Didn''t you say you wanted to kill me? Where do you think you are running off to withoutpleting the task?" [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' How could Ajax let the Giant Darkfire Wraith escape that easily? By using his movement technique a couple of times in a row, Ajax directly appeared in front of the Giant Darkfire Wraith and asked with a slight smile on his face. "Damn, you¡­move away." The Giant Darkfire Wraith wanted to punch Ajax away from its way; however, before it could even lift its hand, it saw a powerful lightninge out of Ajax''s body and pierced through its body. ''Aargh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Thud''I think you should take a look at The Giant Darkfire Wraith groaned in pain and soon, its body started turning into dust as a high-level Darkfire Crystal fell to the ground. ''Ding, The host has used [Lightning Maniption] to kill a peak Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. ''Divine Thunder Rule, deactivate.'' On the other hand, as soon as he received the system notification Ajax hurriedly deactivated his Divine Thunder Rule. Even though he could still maintain that Divine Thunder Rule for another 30 seconds, Ajax wanted to lessen the duration of the cooldown. If he used the Divine Thunder Rule for the full one minute, then he would have to have one full week to use it again and since he only used it now for less than 30 seconds, he could use it again after 4 days. ''Even though I can still use it by ignoring the cooldown time set by the System, it would harm my body. So, unless it is absolutely necessary, I won''t use it more than one minute or before the cooldown time ispleted.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he looked at the fist-sized Darkfire Crystal on the ground with a smile. ''These Darkfire Wraith Leaders have such a good skill of merging the low-level Darkfire Wraiths to high-level Darkfire Wraiths.'' Ajax looked at the 6000 low-level Darkfire Crystal in his inventory and wanted to merge them if possible because the high-level Darkfire Crystals were more valuablepared to the low-level or mid-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, Item Name: Darkfire Crystal (Mid-level). Item Type: Special / Mysterious. Use: It is one of the special foods for the Sentient mes, Fire/Dark type Elemental Spirits and Spirit Beasts and helps them promote their growth and strength. Additional use: It can increase the progress of the Dark-type cultivator''sws and souls. ''Ding, Item Name: Darkfire Crystal (High-level). Item Type: Special / Mysterious. Use: It is one of the special foods for the Sentient mes, Fire/Dark type Elemental Spirits and Spirit Beasts and helps them promote their growth and strength. Additional use: It can increase the progress of Dark-type Divine Rules by a very very small margin. Unlike the low-level Darkfire Crystals, the mid-level and the high-level Darkfire Crystals have additional uses. Especially, the high-level Darkfire Crystals made Ajax excited because these could be considered rare treasures for the cultivators who awakened Dark-type Divine Rules. ''Even though I don''t have any Dark-type Divine Rule, I will get one soon.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he thought of his Cultivator''s soul that he didn''t sacrifice when he was unlocking the Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique. It was none other than the [Orb of the Death] which was a Demonic/Dark/Death triple elemental type Cultivator''s soul. ''Even though my [Orb of the Death] is still a level 1 King Realm''s Cultivator''s Soul, with mid-level Darkfire Crystals, I can upgrade it into Emperor Realm''s Cultivator''s Soul in no time and then awaken a Divine Rule from it.'' ''Moreover, I will be entering the upgraded version of the [Jade Pool] in the Great Jade Dragon Emperor''s world. With my new cultivation technique and the Jade Pool, I can upgrade it to peak Emperor Realm''s Cultivator Soul in no time.'' There were many thoughts in Ajax''s head as he started nning it properly while his summoned beings started collecting the Darkfire Crystals around him. ''Even though the [Orb of Death] was not bad, I think I should cultivate a pure Dark-type Cultivator''s Law and parallelly focus on it.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax started thinking about cultivating a pure Cultivator''s Law before upgrading them with his Darkfire Crystals. ''Anyway, it is time to execute my n.'' Ajax decided to think about itter as he revealed a slight smile before thinking of executing his n. Chapter 1622 [Bonus ] Evil Energy ''Ding, The host has sessfully killed all the inhabitants of this world. ''Ding, The host can enter the Core Realm to extract the World Core. After Ajax killed the Giant Darkfire Wraith Emperor, the system informed him that he could finally enter the Core Realm to extract the World Core of this World No. 1021. However, Ajax was not in a hurry to extract it as he decided to execute his n. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, a pill bottle appeared in Ajax''s hand and in that, there were five pills. ''With these Energy Dispelling Pills, I can summon five Devourer Eagle Kings.'' With a simple thought, Ajax summoned Alder along with four Devourer Eagle Kings with the strength of low-level Emperor Realm Beasts. Earlier, when they were taking a break, Ajax asked Draco about these Energy Dispelling Pills for his summons and Draco gave him without thinking much. Even though these pills were expensive, Draco didn''t hesitate to give them away to Ajax because their gains from this time were huge and Draco could buy more than 1000 Energy Dispelling Pills. However, Ajax was nning to give these pills to the Devourer Eagle Kings so that they could open portals to the other worlds around this World No. 1021. ''Screech'' As soon as they were summoned, the Devourer Eagle Kings felt ufortable and could not help but screech. "Swallow these pills now." Ajax knew the reason for their difort and hurriedly tossed the Energy Dispelling Pills into their mouths. ''Swoosh'' The Energy Dispelling Pills were quite effective as the five Devourer Eagle Kings stopped screeching in difort. "Alder, we don''t have much time. Check the world around this world." It''s been nearly one hour since Draco and others ran off and Ajax wanted to use the Devourer Eagle Kings'' skills to open the portals to the other worlds to farm for the Darkfire Crystals and the World Cores. If he takes too much time, Draco and others mighte back for him. Hence, Ajax wanted to take care of it as soon as possible. "Yes, Master." Alder, the mid-level Emperor Realm Beast nodded and closed its eyes. "There are a total of 10 normal worlds and 30 smaller worlds around this Normal World, master." It only took a few seconds for Alder to get the information of the worlds around World No. 1021. "There are more than enough worlds for us. Let''s not waste any more time and start working on it. Also, once you enter those worlds, don''t devour the Darkfire Wraiths as they could corrode your body from the inside." "It''s better to use your normal skills and you can still take care of them with ease." Nodding his head, Ajax executed the next step of his n. Of course, Ajax didn''t forget to warn them not to devour them. "Everyone, open the portals to the different smaller worlds and clear all the Darkfire Wraiths in it." Ajax had already thought about it. So, he didn''t think much as he continued to give the orders to the Devourer Eagle Kings, "With your strength, you can easily take care of all the Darkfire Wraiths in the Smaller Dark Worlds. "Before that, let''s fly away from here." At the same time, Ajax jumped onto Alder along with Necros and others whom he summoned earlier.I think you should take a look at "Yes, master." ''Swoosh'' Alder and the four other Devourer Eagles nodded their heads and soon, they flew in the direction that Ajax''s pointed. It was because even if Draco and others return to that ce, they won''t find Ajax and would give him some additional time to search for him. After flying for a few thousand kilometers in less than 10 minutes, Ajax chose a ce and ordered the Devourer Eagles to open the portals to the Smaller Dark Worlds. ''Swoosh'' Alder and others could tell that their master seemed in a hurry and thus, they didn''t waste any time and opened huge portals to the different Smaller Dark Worlds around World No. 1021. ''Screech'' Without waiting for Ajax''s orders, the Five Devourer Eagles rushed into the portal to work. "Necros, summon those Undead Golden Demon Emperor Souls and sent them into the portals to collect the Darkfire Crystals in these worlds." "Ghost, you, too. Create as many Scouting Clones as possible and order them to collect the Darkfire Crystals." After the Devourer Eagles entered the six different portals, Ajax ordered Necros and the Four-eyed Ghost Fox. "Hm" The Soul Grimoire appeared in Necros'' hands as ten Golden Demon Emperor Souls flew out of it and they entered into the five portals in pairs ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As for the Four-eyed Ghost Fox, it summoned exactly 1000 clones that looked exactly like it before sending them into the portals. "Until they finish their job, you can cultivate." Since it was a good ce for the Dark-type beings to cultivate in this world, Ajax ordered them to cultivate and at the same time, he also sat down to cultivate as he wanted to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness with the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Evil Dark Energy in a radius of 100 kilometers around Ajax rushed into Ajax''s body and under his Divine Spirit Consciousness, it was being converted into the pure Divine Essence of Nature. ''Aargh'' Just as Ajax gained a unit of Divine Essence of Nature, his Dark-type summoned beings groaned in pain and stopped cultivating. ''Ding, The Evil Dark Energy is not suitable for cultivating unless the cultivators or elemental spirits or the spirit beasts have evil and dark attributes. ''Ding, The system suggests that the host doesn''t make his summons cultivate in the Dark World as none of his summons have evil attributes. What followed next was the two system notifications that made Ajax frown for a moment before shaking their heads in disappointment. "Don''t cultivate any more." Soon, Ajax ordered his summoned beings and suddenly thought, ''If they can''t cultivate in this world, what about the Darkfire Crystals? Isn''t there an Evil Energy inside the Darkfire Crystal?'' ''Ding, There are small traces of evil energy mixed in it and long-term usage of Darkfire Crystals would lead to body corrosion. Chapter 1623 Usage Of Giant Darkfire Crystal ''Ding, There are small traces of evil energy mixed in it and long-term usage of Darkfire Crystals would lead to body corrosion. As he asked the system about it, Ajax received an answer that made Ajax frown. Because, right now, Ajax already has a lot of Darkfire Crystals and soon, he could gain even more of them. Hence, he nned to use these Darkfire Crystals for a long time. However, now, the system was telling him that long-term usage could lead to body corrosion. ''If it has traces of evil energy, then what about the Sentient me?'' ording to the system''s information, these Darkfire Crystals are the favourite food for Sentient mes and since the Fire Chamber in the Stormfire Wyvern World collects these Darkfire Crystals at a good price, Ajax could guess that they were using the Darkfire Crystals on the Sentient me. Therefore, Ajax wondered whether the Stormfire in the Fire Chamber could burn the traces of the evil energy in the Darkfire Crystals. ''Wait a second¡­since I can expel the Evil Dark Energy from Fangorn''s body using the Divine Essence of Nature, can I do the same thing from Darkfire Crystal?'' Only when a problem arises, the human mind would try its best to find some possible solutions and it was the same for Ajax also as he thought of a possible solution to use the Darkfire Crystal depending on his past experience rted to Dark Energy. ''Inject'' With that thought in mind, Ajax decided to give it a try. ''Even if it fails, it''s just a single low-level Darkfire Crystal which I can afford to lose.'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax injected one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature into the Darkfire Crystal and saw that a couple of ck doubts came out of it. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for figuring out a way to remove the traces of the Evil Energy from the Darkfire Crystal. Even before Ajax could ask the system to check whether he was sessful in removing the evil energy from the Darkfire Crystal, it congratted him, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''I wonder how many units of Divine Essence of Nature I need to spend to remove the traces of Evil Energy from the mid and high-level Darkfire Crystals.'' With a thought two Darkire Crystals appeared in his hand and without wasting any time, he started injecting the Divine Essence of Nature into those two crystals separately. In one hand, he held a mid-level Darkfire Crystal and in the other, it was a high-level Darkfire Crystal. ''Huh? These two crystals also need only one unit of Divine Essence of Nature.'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised and soo, and he started experimenting with the Darkfire Crystals and soon, understood how much Divine Essence of nature he required for each Darkfire Crystal.I think you should take a look at For low-level Darkfire Crystal, it required 0.5 units of Divine Essence of Nature. For mid-level Darkfire Crystal, it required 0.75 units of Divine Essence of Nature. For high-level Darkfire Crystal, it required 1 unit of Divine Essence of Nature. ''As for the Giant Darkfire Crystal I got from the Giant Darkfire Wraith Emperor, it required five units of Divine Essence of Nature.'' Ajax looked at the fist-sized which was a giant crystalpared to the other crystals that were around the size of a pill, marble and pebble respectively. ''However, with that Darkfire Crystal, the system estimates that I can increase the percent of awakening for my Dark-type Divine Rules by at least 10 percent.'' Looking at the additional use for the Giant Darkfire Crystal, Ajax could not help but want to have a Dark-type Divine Rule as soon as possible. ''Once I return, I should buy a powerful Dark-type Cultivator''s Law Stone or a Cultivator''s Soul Stone in the Trader''s Realm.'' For any emperor realm cultivator, learning a new cultivator''sw or a cultivator''s soul from the Cultivator''s Law Stone or a Cultivator''s Soul Stone was hard; however, it was not difficult for Ajax as he could use the Jade Energy to upgrade their level in the shortest duration possible. Moreover, for Dark-type cultivator''sws or souls, Ajax had found another way to quickly increase their level and realm with the mid-level Darkfire Crystals. Therefore, he noted down it and also added, ''I should buy it and awaken that cultivator''sw or soul before entering the Jade''s Pool.'' ''With the upgraded Jade Pool, I am expecting that the Jade Energy inside it might be enough to upgrade my new Pure Dark-type cultivator''sw to the maximum.'' Whether it was a cultivator''sw stone or a soul stone, if a cultivator uses it to awaken thatw or soul, he had to start from the beginning and the only difference between those stones is that the level 9 Law Stone could only help a cultivator till his newly awakened cultivator''sw reach level 9 cultivator''sw. As for the level 9 King realm''s Soul Stone, it could help the cultivator till it reaches the level 9 King realm. However, Ajax didn''t mind getting a level 1 Law Stone as he just wanted to awaken it and he could upgrade it on his own without having to cultivate using that stone. ''Since I don''t have much Divine Essence of Nature now, I will put a hold on dispelling the Evil Energy from these Darkfire Crystals for ater date.'' As Ajax was nning to enter the Floating Ind which was filled with a dense and pure essence of nature, Ajax decided to do this menial work there as it would have a lot of time and energy in the Floating Ind. ''Anyway, until the Devourer Eagle Kings and the porters return from the Smaller Dark Worlds, I will recover the Divine Essence of Nature I spent earlier on testing.'' With that thought, Ajax asked his summons to do their own thing but not cultivate before he started cultivating. Time continued to pass and after 10 minutes, the five Devourer Eagle Kings returned and informed Ajax that they had cleared the worlds. After another five minutes, Ghost''s clones and Necros'' summons also returned with storage rings filled with Darkfire Crystals. ''Since the Darkfire Crystals'' farming is done, it is time to farm for the World Cores.'' Chapter 1624 Farming World Cores In The Dark Region (1) ''Since the Darkfire Crystals'' farming is done, it is time to farm for the World Cores.'' Ajax was waiting for this moment as he started entering the smaller world cores to start extracting the World Cores. "Alder, open two more portals to the smaller worlds and clear them. You send your clones to collect the Darkfire Crystals." Of course, he didn''t forget to order Alder to open the portals for the two more Smaller World Cores. Since Alder was a mid-grade Emperor Realm beast, it could open portals to three smaller worlds and one Normal World per day. By the time Ajax collected the world cores from the cleared five smaller worlds, he thought Alder and others could clear them, saving him some time. ''Screech'' Soon, everyone started working. ¡­.. After 20 minutes, ''If it was in the Human Region or Demon Region, I would have to worry about learning about my ability to extract world cores but here, I don''t have to worry much.'' Unlike the worlds in the Human Region or Demon Region or Dragon Region, the worlds in the Dark Region were not owned by anyone and hence, even if he destroyed them, no one would care about them. Of course, they might be curious about the sudden destruction of the Dark Worlds in the Dark Region; however, Ajax was confident that no one could connect the destruction of these worlds to him as he would have a perfect alibi. As for his ability to kill high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, even though it was abnormal, many cultivators from the Greater Worlds could do it. ''It might make me a little famous; however, it''s alright! I don''t want to lose such treasured resources.'' Whether it was Darkfire Crystals or World Cores, both were useful for Ajax and he didn''t mind bing a little famous. ''Ding, The Dark World Cores in the host''s hands containedrge traces of evil energy. ''Ding, The system estimates the host needs to spend 500 units of Divine Essence of Nature to remove those traces of evil energy. Since the Darkfire Crystals have traces of Evil Energy, Ajax could tell that these World Cores would also have traces of Evil Energy. Hence, as soon as Ajax extracted the first Smaller World Cores, he asked the system to analyse the World Core and specially ordered it to give him an estimated number of Divine Essence of Nature required to remove the Evil Energy. ''Only 500 units? It is less than I imagined.'' Even though Ajax needed to spend five times the Divine Essence of Nature that his Divine Spirit Consciousness could hold, he was pleasantly surprised with the number and at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''For now, I don''t have an urgent use of these World Cores. I can refine them after I enter the Floating Ind along with the Darkfire Crystal.'' Ajax tossed the seven smaller world cores into a separate space ring and asked his summons with an excited smile, "So, are you ready to destroy a Normal Dark World?" In his current situation, with the help of the Devourer Eagles, Ajax could open portals to five Normal Dark Worlds because it''s been a week since his low-level Emperor Realm Devourer Eagle used their ability to open the portal to the Normal World. And now, Ajax was nning to use them to collect the five Normal Grade Dark World Cores.I think you should take a look at "Alder, go on." Ajax ordered his strongest Devourer Eagle to open the portal to the Normal Dark World. ''Swoosh'' Alder opened the portal and soon, Ajax along with the rest of his summons entered the Normal Dark World. Even though Alder and the other four Devourer Eagles could clear a normal Dark World on their own, if they encounter a Giant Darkfire Wraith which was the merged form of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders, they would be killed. Moreover, Ajax didn''t know whether the other Normal Dark Worlds are simr to World No. 1021. Hence, he wanted to clear the Normal Dark Worlds one by one. ''After clearing two Normal Dark Worlds, I should better go and meet Draco and others before resuming this mission.'' If Ajax takes too long, Draco and others would be unnecessarily worried and would start looking for him. So, he wanted to put them to ease before resuming his mission. ¡­. In Ajax''s First Solo Normal Dark World, As soon as they entered, the five Devourer Eagles went in different directions as Ajax randomly jumped onto one of the low-level Devourer Eagles. [Feather Strike] As they flew, they saw some small groups of around 12-20 Darkfire Wraiths that were led by a mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith. However, they were easily taken care of by the Devourer Eagle''s basic attacks and the Darkfire Crystals that were left by them would be picked up by Ghost''s clones as they followed them. It was the same with the other Devourer Eagles. The Darkfire Wraiths would be killed by them and the Ghost''s clones would take care of collecting the Darkfire Crystals. "Everyone, if you find a Darkfire Wraith with perfect limbs, kill it directly." From time to time, Ajax would warn his summons about the Darkfire Wraith Leaders. Since Ajax''s Divine Thunder Rule is under cooldown, Ajax didn''t want those Darkfire Wraiths to merge into a Giant Darkfire Wraith as it would be a pain to deal with. ''Even though the Giant Darkfire Crystal has a good use, I don''t want to harm my body by repeatedly using the Divine Thunder Rule before I undergo the body tempering with the Stormfire.'' As for the Giant Darkfire Crstyals, Ajax was not worried too much about it because there were hundreds of thousands or even millions of worlds in the Dark Region. When he broke through to the high-level Emperor Realm, he could always enter deeper into the Dark Region and have those Giant Darkfire Crystals in the future. ''For now, let''s y safe.'' Ajax didn''t want to lose another one of his summons or his own life just to gain a Giant Darkfire Crystal. Hence, Ajax decided to y safe in the Dark region and wanted to collect more information on these Dark Worlds. Chapter 1625 [Bonus ] Farming World Cores In The Dark Region (2) Time continued to pass as more and more low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths were killed by Ajax''s devourer eagles. With the massacre that Ajax''s devourer eagles left behind them, the Darkfire Wraiths became alert and sent more and more minions towards them only to get killed by Ajax''s devourer eagles. [Dark Spectral Merge] Seeing that the low-level and mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths were not standing a chance, they summoned their remaining armies and without any hesitation, they merged them into 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths. "Kill them." Along with their 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, even the Darkfire Wraith Leaders also joined the fight because they were furious about losing half of their armies. [Ancient Roc''s Speed] [Eagle w] Even though Ajax''s devourer eagles were only at low-level Emperor Realm beasts except for Alder who was a mid-level Emperor Realm beast, Ajax''s bloodline [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline] was still inactivate. Moreover, they devoured so many emperor realm demons a week back which was enough to make them reach peak emperor realm without any problem. Hence, these Darkfire Wraith Leaders didn''t stand a chance as they were killed in a few attacks and as for their high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, they were easily taken care of once their leaders were killed. "Phew¡­it looks like I don''t even need to follow them into the Normal Dark Worlds." After seeing how easily, his devourer eagles took care of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''The Bloodline''s effect canst for another 20 minutes. If I can divide them into four teams, they can clear four Normal Dark Worlds before the bloodline effect disappears with ease.'' As long as his summoned beings take care of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders before the Bloodline Effect disappears, things would be easier for them. With that thought in mind, Ajax started thinking about the teams while the fox clones were collecting the Darkfire Crystals on the ground. ''Ding, The host has cleared all the inhabitants of the world. ''Ding, The host can enter the Core Realm of the world to extract the world core. Soon, Ajax received the system notifications; however, he was not in a hurry to enter the Core Realm as he had some things to do before that. Moreover, the Fox Clones were yet topletely collect all the Darkfire Crystals on the ground. "Everyone, listen to me carefully." Soon, Ajax contacted everyone through his spirit imprint on them. "Return to the world and open the four portals to the Normal Dark Worlds. Alder, you can clear a Normal Dark World on your own, right?" "Yes, master." "Good. But still, you have to take one of the devourer eagles with you." Ajax nodded his head as he started creating three more teams toplete his today''s Dark Region exploration. "Alder and Caleb will be the first team that will enter the Normal Dark World after I exit this world." Since the portal was opened by Alder, if he enters a portal to another world, the portal to the world in which Ajax was currently, would be forcefully closed. Hence, he ordered them to enter the Normal Dark World only after he extracted the world core from this world. As for the other three teams, Ajax didn''t have such rules as he informed the names of those teams.I think you should take a look at "Necros, Nite, and Cale, you three members will enter a Normal Dark World as a team." "Zen, Dabrus, Cade, and Twilight, you four members are one team." "As for thest team, Calix and I will take care of it. Okay?" Ajax had already thought about the teams and he was confident in these teams that even if they could not defeat the Giant Darkfire Wraith, they wouldn''t have any problem escaping if they wanted to. "We will aplish the mission, master." The summoned beings became excited as they hurriedly and confidently nodded their heads. They are excited because there were only a few of Ajax''s summons and thus, after theyplete their mission and return to the Inner World, they could brag about their achievements and adventures to the other summons that were not summoned this time. "Ghost, you can''t disy your battle prowess in these Dark Worlds; however, you are very helpful. Without you, it would take forever to collect the Darkfire Crystals." Ajax looked at the Four-eyed Ghost Fox that looked a little dejected because it was not getting any battle-rted mission. Hence, he consoled it with his words and thanked it for its help. ''Kiya'' Ghost loved being caressed by Ajax as it enjoyed it while looking at others with a proud look as though it was saying, ''You need to work hard, guy. Don''t let the Master down.'' Seeing that, the other summons shook their heads as they had already gotten used to the Four-eyed Ghost Fox''s childish antics and soon flew towards the portal they opened earlier. "Brother Ajax, my clones have almost collected the Darkfire Crystals in this world. You can extract the world core now." After two minutes, the Four-eyed Ghost Fox informed Ajax about his clones. "Okay." Since the world would explode only after the five minutes of extraction of the World Core, the Four-eyed Ghost Fox informed Ajax and nodding his head, Ajax sat down and entered the Core Realm. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' In a pitch-ck endless space, Ajax''s Golden-coloured Divine Consciousness appeared. ''There is it.'' It was not Ajax''s first time entering the core realm of a Dark World. So, he instinctively knew what he should do and where he should go. Soon, Ajax found a ck-coloured shining orb in the center of the Core Realm and casually took it out. ''Return'' With a single thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness returned to his body as he opened his eyes. ''System, you know what to do, right?'' Ajax asked the system with a slight smile and after receiving the confirmation from the system, he said to the Four-eyed Ghost Fox, "Ghost, let''s go." ''As long as I get another five normal worlds, I can find out by how much percent I can awaken my Divine Thunder Rule.'' ***** The author needs some motivation to release more bonus chapters. Thank you for reading. Chapter 1626 Farming World Cores In The Dark Region (3) ''As long as I get another five normal world cores, I can find out by how much percent I can awaken my Divine Thunder Rule.'' Even though he had yet to get the remaining four world cores, Ajax considered that he had already gotten them and he started thinking about collecting another five normal world cores. ording to the system, he could increase the percentage of the awakening of the Divine Rules. Hence, he was curious about it. ''For Dark-type Divine Rules, I can use the High-level and Gaint Darkfire Crystals; however, for other-type of Divine Rules, I can only rely on the Great World Cores.'' Because of this reason, Ajax wanted to figure out how much Greater World Cores would help him in awakening the Divine Rule''s percentage. ''Anyway, I should increase the Divine Essence of Nature in my Divine Spirit Consciousness after I extract the world core from this world.'' Ajax and Calix were flying in the Normal Dark World and cleared the Darkfire Wraith along the way as he thought about his ns ofpleting today''s mission. Even though his absorption speed of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Dark Worlds was only one-third of the speed in a Dragon World or a Human World, Ajax wanted to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness as much as possible before returning. Because, after returning if he wants to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness, he could only cultivate in one of his worlds and it would affect the cultivation speed of the cultivators living in his worlds. Also, he didn''t want to cultivate in someone else''s world in case they found out he had a God-level Cultivation Technique and spread the news about it. Hence, even though it would be slow, Ajax wanted to cultivate and fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness until the Energy Dispelling Pills'' effects on Draco and others disappeared. ''If only they brought more Energy Dispelling Pills, it would have been easier to farm for more World Cores.'' Draco had only bought 10 Energy Dispelling Pills of which five of them were consumed by them and the other five pills were kept for the second day in the Dark World. However, Ajax had given them to his Devourer Eagles to farm for the World Cores and they had already reached their limit of opening the portals to the other worlds. ''Next time, Ie here, I should either buy lots of Energy Dispelling Pills or just buy its recipes and the required ingredients.'' Ajax silently nned as the Devourer Eagle took care of the Darkfire Wraiths. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and 40 minutes passed by as Ajax had sessfully extracted all the Normal World Cores from those normal worlds that his five Devourer Eagles had opened portals to. "Today''s gains are Five Normal World Cores along with seven Smaller World Cores¡­not bad¡­not bad." Ajax nodded his head and at the same time, he muttered, ''If I have more Energy Dispelling Pills, I would have gained an additional six Smaller World Cores and six Normal World Cores today.'' ''System, how many Darkfire Crystals I have gained today.'' Unlike the world cores, Ajax could not keep track of the Darkfire Crystals and asked the system about them. ''Ding, Low-level Darkfire Crystals: 1.1 million. Mid-level Darkfire Crystals: 100000. High-level Darkfire Crystals: 25000. Special High-level Darkfire Crystals: 12.I think you should take a look at Giant Darkfire Crystal: 1. Soon, the system showed the number of Darkfire Crystals he had gained from conquering the six normal worlds and seven smaller worlds including World No. 1021. In some of the Normal Dark Worlds, the two or three Darkfire Wraith Leaders had merged and upon killing them, the Darkfire Crystals they left were special-type. In short, it was a crystal that was between the High-level Darkfire Crystal and a Giant Darkfire Crystal. ''The Special High-level Darkfire Crystal had half of the Giant Darkfire Crystal''s effect but it has the full effect of the High-level Darkfire Crystal.'' Ajax was looking forward to making good use of these Darfire Crystals. ''Now, it''s time to meet Draco and others.'' Except for Alder, Ajax sent the remaining Devourer Eagles back into the Inner World as he rode Alder along with his other summons. ''Speaking of having more Dark Elemental Spirits, I can still form two official contracts with the Elemental Spirits which means, I can enter the Elemental Spirit World two more times.'' Ajax didn''t form an official contract with any elemental spirit after he became a King Realm Cultivator because Elder Boron said that he should do it after he entered a powerful greater human world. Because the more powerful a human world is, the more powerful the elemental spirits in the elemental spirit world that are connected to that world. However, Ajax was too much focused on taking his revenge and was not in a hurry to enter a powerful Greater Human World to form official contracts with the Elemental Spirit. ''I think I shouldplete my two more official contracts along with as many unofficial contracts as possible.'' Since Ajax was nning to enter the Floating Ind soon, he could let his newly contracted elemental spirits cultivate there and be strong by the time they leave the Floating Ind. Unlike other Summoners, Ajax could form contracts with the elemental spirits instantly and he wanted to take advantage of that ability to form contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible. ''I wonder how the Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Greater Human Worlds will be.'' Ajax made a list of things he had to do after returning and decided toplete them all as soon as possible. ¡­.. Somewhere in World No. 1021. "Captain Draco, where did Brother Ajax go?" "Wasn''t he fighting the High-level Darkfire Wraith somewhere over there?" "He might have been fighting with his full power and obviously, he might be luring it away from here to protect us in case it is used as hostages." "Even though we have known Brother Ajax less than half a day, he is quite thoughtful and loyal to the squad." Draco and others were searching for Ajax as they slowly and carefully moved in the direction they believed Ajax might have lured the high-level Darkfire Wraith. ****** Chapter 1627 End Of World Core Farming As time passed, Draco and others'' opinions of Ajax gradually increased to the point where they considered Ajax as their sworn brother. ''Screech'' Suddenly, Draco and others heard a loud screech in the distance and soon, they saw a huge eagle in the distance that was flying towards them at an incredible speed. "That eagle is not a Dark-type beast which means¡­." Before they could finish their words, the eagle arrived in front of them. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax along with his four Dark elemental spirits and the Four-eyed Ghost Fox jumped down from the eagle. As for the Divine Dragon, Ajax had sent it back into the Inner World along with the Devourer Eagles as he didn''t want to reveal that he had a Divine Dragon¡­not yet. "Are you guys searching for me?" Ajax asked Draco and others with a slight smile on his face while waving his hand at them. "Brother Ajax." In the next second, Draco and others became excited and soon, they asked Ajax about the details. "Before I tell you that, let me introduce you to my contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits." As for Ajax, he started introducing his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts while stressing their cultivation and strength. At first, Draco and others were shocked that Ajax had such a powerful summons¡­especially the Devourer Ealge King. Later, Ajax started narrating a story that he had nned long ago to him. "I have killed that Darkfire Wraith Leader along with five high-level Darkfire Wraiths with the help of my Contracted Spirit Beasts and the elemental spirits." Ajax focused on their facial expressions while narrating the story he had prepared and even though they were shocked multiple times and even had unbelievable looks on their faces, Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction because he was confident that they believed his story. Even though the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths had the strength of high-level Emperor Realm Cultivators, they were much weaker than the regr cultivators. Their ability to think was limited and could only use a few skills. Moreover, after seeing how powerful Ajax was, Draco and others didn''t find it hard to believe that Ajax had killed five high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with a Darkfire Wraith Leader. "Here, take these 40 high-level Darkfire Crystals and use them to undergo the body tempering in the inner section of the Fire Chamber." With a slight smile, Ajax forced 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals into their hands. "T-this¡­." For a moment, Draco and the others didn''t know what was happening as they looked at Ajax and wanted to reject them. However, their heart said that if they give those high-level Darkfire Crystals back, their goal will be dyed by at least a decade or two. If they were lucky, with these 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals, they could achieve their goals before they reach 100 years. ''Ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm before the age of 100 years? What kind of concept is it?''I think you should take a look at The record created by one of their Dragon Ancestors to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm was at the age of 999; however, Draco and others might ascend before the age of 100 if they were lucky. Of course, if they were not lucky and unable to clear their bottlenecks as soon as possible, then they won''t be ascending even before the age of 1000 or 10000 years. "Brother Ajax, thanks for the High-level Darkfire Crystals." Even though they were a little embarrassed to take them, Draco and others swore, "In the future, if you need any help, you can always order us." "What ordering? We all belong to the Might Wyvern Squad or am I not a part of it?" Ajax shook his head as he asked about it. "Of course, you are a part of it. Let''s do one thing, why don''t Brother Ajax be the leader of this squad and let''s ascend to the Heavenly Realms together." It was every cultivator''s goal to ascend to the Heavenly Realms and Draco could tell that Ajax also had such a goal. Moreover, with Ajax''s help, Draco believed that their chances of ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm would increase by a lot. Hence, he asked Ajax to lead the squad. When they heard Draco''s words, Fangorn and others were surprised a little; however, they were not against it as they also had simr thoughts in their heads. "I am sorry I can''t be the leader of the squad; however, on the other hand, I will join you if you want me on your adventurous missions." Ajax knew what Draco and others were thinking; however, it didn''t bother Ajax as he would also do the same thing if he were in their position. In a cultivation world, there is nothing wrong with following a strong cultivator because it would increase their chances of bing stronger. So, Ajax politely rejected the offer as he indirectly told them that he won''t mind helping them on their dangerous missions as a squad member of the Mighty Wyvern Squad. "Thank you, Brother Ajax." Even though they were a little disappointed, Draco and others felt it was alright as Ajax at least assured them to help them in the future. "Since we have got more than what we wanted, shall we return and undergo the body tempering with the Stormfire?" Soon, Draco suggested returning to the Stormfire World. "I still want to look around the world and kill the leftover Darkfire Wraiths in the world." Ajax was quick as he said these words. "Okay but remember, we have to return before the effect of the Energy Dispelling Pills disappears." Draco didn''t think much about it as he felt that since Ajax was strong, he wanted to kill all the Darkfire Wraiths in the world. Also, he didn''t forget to warn him about the evil energy. "Alder, let''s go." Ajax nodded his head as he jumped onto the Devourer Eagle and flew into the distance. ''System, inform me 30 minutes before the pill''s effect disappears. I will extract the world core from this world and leave with Draco and others.'' Chapter 1628 [Bonus ] Thorough Analysis Of The Darkfire Crystals There are still more than 10 hours left before the effect of the Energy Dispelling Pill disappears. Hence, Ajax wanted to use this time to fill his Divine Essence of Nature. ording to his calctions, Ajax could absorb more than 200 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and he wanted to use the excess Divine Essence of Nature to refine some of the high-level Darkfire Crystals to give his Dark-type summons to cultivate for their earlier hard work. At the same time, before leaving the world, Ajax was nning to extract the world core while sitting right in front of Draco and others to make his alibi solid. ''Even if someone searches their memories, I can be perfectly safe.'' That is the reason why Ajax nned to extract the world core right in front of Draco and others. Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about these things and was fully focused on absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature. For every three minutes, Ajax gained a unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ¡­. ''Ding, There are still 31 minutes left before the Energy Dispelling Pill''s effect disappears. Time continued to pass as nearly 11 hours passed by in a sh as Ajax opened his eyes when he received the system notification. ''Time always flies so quickly whenever I cultivate.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he checked his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 100 / 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''System knows when to wake me up from my cultivation.'' Ajax nodded his head as thought about the Darkfire Crystals from which he removed the traces of Evil Energy. ''Ding, The Darkfire Crystals that can be used for cultivation: 1) High-level Darkfire Crystals: 50, used 50 units of Divine Essence of Nature. 2) Special High-level Darkfire Crystals: 12, used 60 units of Divine Essence of Nature. 3) Giant Darkfire Crystal: 1, used 10 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, the system showed the Darkfire Crystals that Ajax refined. ''After returning to the Stormfire World, I will finally see how useful these Darkfire Crystals are for the Dark Elemental Spirits.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax summoned his Devourer Eagle King and asked it to find Draco and others. ''Only if I can merge the low-level Darkfire Crystals into High-level or even Giant Darkfire Crystals like how the system can merge the World Cores, it would have been great.'' Not only could it help him remove the traces of the Evil Engy quickly but it could also have been greatly useful. And the reason why Ajax thought about it was because of the World Cores. Since he could condense the smaller world cores into normal and even Greater World Cores, Ajax thought it would be nice to have the ability to merge the Darkfire Crystals too. ''Ding, The system can give it a try after a thorough analysis of all the avable Darkfire Crystals starting from Low-level Darkfire Crystals to Giant Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, Do you want the system toplete a thorough analysis of the Darkfir Crystals?I think you should take a look at Ajax was only thinking about it and the system said that he would try to help him, giving a pleasant surprise to him. At the same time, it asked whether Ajax agreed to it. ''System, what are you waiting for? Just do it.'' Why could Ajax not want the system to analyze the Darkfire Crystals when he could gain the ability to merge the low-level Darkfire Crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystals? Hence, he urged the system about it. ''Wait a second.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought about something and hurriedly asked the system, ''System, stop¡­don''t start the analysis yet.'' It happened many times before and Ajax was faster this time and stopped the system before it could start the analysis. ''Before you start the analysis, tell me all the risks involved in it.'' Whenever he was in need, the system woulde to his rescue; however, it wouldn''t exin the risks and would only exin them after he lost something or failed. Ajax didn''t want that to happen as he wanted to know all the risks involved in it before ordering the system to do something it wanted to do. ''Ding, To do a thorough analysis, the system will consume one Darkfire Crystal from each category starting from low-level to Gaint Darkfire Crystal. ''Ding, Moreover, there is a slight possibility that the thorough analysis might fail and the system can''t grant the host the ability to merge the Darkfire Crystals. When he saw the system notifications, Ajax was momentarily stunned as he could not believe that he was nearly fooled by the system again. ''What? Consuming the Darkfire Crystals? I knew something was not right!'' The system didn''t bother to inform about that as it only mentioned a ''Thorough Analysis'' of the Darkfire Crystals. ''So, it will even be like eating a Giant Darkfire Crystal?'' Ajax didn''t mind the system eating the other Darkfire Crystals; however, a Giant Darkfire Crystal¡­he only had one. ''What''s more, I don''t even get what I want after giving away a Giant Darkfire Crystal.'' Ajax remained silent for a moment before asking the system, ''Give me the sess rate of having the ability to merge the Darkfire Crystals.'' ''Ding, Sess rate: 80 percent. ''So be it. Since it is 80 percent, I can take the risk.'' After looking at the sess rate, Ajax nodded his head and muttered, ''I have too many bigger risks in life. Even if it fails, I can find another group of Darkfire Wraith Leaders and merge them into a Giant Darkfire Wraith and get another Giant Darkfire Crystal.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax ordered the system to do a thorough analysis. Even though Ajax continued with the ''Thorough Analysis'' of the Darkfire Crystals, he at least knows about the risks now. ''Compared to doing something without knowing the risks, it is better to do the same thing after learning about the risks as it would make the cultivator stronger both physically and mentally.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax continued with the analysis as he soon met up with Draco and others. Chapter 1629 Return ''Ding, The host has sessfully extracted the World Core from the Normal Dark World. ''Ding, This world will explode in five minutes. Please level it as soon as possible. After asking Draco and others to wait for a moment, Ajax hurriedly sent his Divine Spirit Consciousness into the Core Realm of World No. 1021 and extracted the world core. As soon as he extracted it, Ajax received the system notifications informing him to leave the world. ''Return'' With a thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness returned to his body and without wasting any time, he asked Draco, "Draco, activate the ''Return Scroll''." "Okay." Draco nodded his head and threw a huge scroll on the ground before making some hand signs and soon, a portal opened. "Let''s go." Without further ado, Ajax and others entered the portal before the portal disappeared. ''Rumble'' ''Kacha'' A few seconds after the portal closed, rumbling sounds starteding from the ground along with cracks on the ground. As time passed, the entire world started shaking as rumbling sounds and the cracks on the ground increased at a rapid speed. ''Boom'' After a few minutes, the Normal Dark World exploded leaving arge amount of debris in the Dark Space. ¡­.. At the Teleportation Center, Stormfire Wyvern World, ''Swoosh'' Ajax and others appeared in front of the Teleportation Center. "Brother Ajax, shall we go to the Fire Chamber tonight?" After returning, Fangorn asked Ajax, hoping for a positive response. "Sure." Ajax didn''t think much as he nodded his head because he wanted to undergo body tempering as soon as possible and focus on other things. Currently, it is morning in the Stormfire Wyvern and they nned to enter the Fire Chamber in the night. Since they had spent an entire day in the Dark World, they felt very tired and wanted to freshen up before resting for the entire day. So that, they could be in their top condition when they enter the Fire Chamber for their body tempering. "Good. Let''s meet in front of the Fire Chamber right after the first evening bell." After agreeing on the time and ce, everyone returned to their ce. ¡­. "Young Master Ajax, Prince Dalkon has entered the secluded cultivation and ordered this old servant to take care of you during his absence." Just as Ajax took a few steps out of the Teleportation Center, an old humanoid wyvern appeared and informed Ajax about Prince Dalkon''s arrangement.I think you should take a look at "Okay." Ajax saw the royal insignia on the old man''s robes and nodded his head. "Did you collect 100 Darkfire Crystals to enter the Fire Chamber, young master? If not, Prince Dalkon said that you can enter the Fire Chamber even if you collect 10 Darkfire Crystals." With a slight smile on his face, the old wyvern informed Ajax about Prince Dalkon''s words. "It''s alright! My squad was lucky enough to encounter some Darkfire Wraiths as I was able to collect 100 Darkfire Crystals." In the next second, a bunch of Darkfire Crystals appeared in Ajax''s hands. "Haha¡­it looks like young master Ajax''s luck ... .what? A High-level Darkfire Crystals and there are ten of them?" At first, the old servant was not surprised to see so many Darkfire Crystals in Ajax''s hands; however, when he caught sight of 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals in Ajax''s hands, he was shocked. Ajax remained silent and nodded his head. "Your squad encountered 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals in World No. 1021?" After suppressing his shock, the old servant frowned as he asked Ajax once again. "Actually, we encountered thousands of low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths along with hundreds of mid-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths¡­." Soon, Ajax told the story that happened from Draco and others'' perspective about encountering a Darkfire Wraith Leader who summoned 50 high-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wriaths and killed them with his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. "What? How is that possible?" "How can an explored world have so many Darkfire Wraiths? Something is not right!" The old servant was unable to believe Ajax''s story; however, the Darkfire Crystals in Ajax''s hands didn''t lie and matched Ajax''s story. "Young master, I think I need to inform Prince Dalkon about this master despite his seclusion. Once Iplete that, I will return and help you with the body tempering procedures." As soon as he said that, the old man unfolded his wyvern wings and flew towards the royal pce. ''Even though I know something was going on with those explored worlds, I hope they focus more on that; instead of the exploded worlds.'' He might have destroyed World N0. 1021 but Ajax knew that, ''All the dark worlds that are explored by the Stomfire Wyverns are manipted by the Shadowveil Sect and someone was helping them internally.'' As for why Ajax was sure that it was a Shadowveil Sect because it is the only sect that had a female sect leader. Moreover, they were known to have Dark Effinity and could do something like nurturing the Darkfire Wraiths. ''Whoever it was, I don''t care. At least, they are doing a good thing for me as I can continue to farm more Darkfire Crystals in a safe environment along with the world cores.'' Whatever the Shadowveil Sect nned, Ajax didn''t want to think too much about it as his goal was to be stronger and revive his father and Snow before ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. All that he hoped was that the Stormfire Wyvern World could continue to open the portals to the Dark Worlds. Even if they don''t, Ajax nned to enter from the human worlds that were sharing the borders with the Dark Region. Just like the Stormfire Wyvern World, many human worlds could open portals to the explored Dark Worlds. Hence, Ajax was not bothered too much about it. ''Anyway, I will go and freshen up before checking out how useful the refined Darkfire Crystals are.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking as he quickly entered the Royal Guest ce. ''It''s time to check out the true benefits of the Darkfire Crystals.'' After taking a shower and getting ready, Ajax summoned Necros and other Dark-type summons that he summoned in the Dark Worlds and was ready to use the Darkfire Crystals on them. ¡­.. StryderAdon, thanks for the DRAGON. Chapter 1630 Second Thorough Analysis After learning about the sudden appearance of arge number of Darkfire Wraiths in the explored worlds, the old servant rushed to inform Prince Dalkon about it. Even though Prince Dalkon was yet to be crowned as the Emperor of the Stormfire World, his father had already asked him to take care of the entire world for a decade. The appearance of the 10000 low-level Emperor Realm Wraiths in an explored Dark World was not considered great; however, the appearance of a Darkfire Wraith Leader was. Hence, despite Prince Dalkon being in secluded cultivation, the old servant wanted to inform him. ''Since he entered seclusion just yesterday, I hope it will be alright!'' When a cultivator is in seclusion, the longer he was in, the more serious it would be as they might reach a critical time in their breakthrough. And disturbing at such a critical time would result in disaster for that cultivator. However, the old servant was not worried about such a thing happening to Prince Dalkon because he had just entered the seclusion one day back. Soon, the old servant transmitted his voice to Prince Dalkon that he had something important to inform. ''Creak'' The huge doors of the cultivation chamber opened as Prince Dalkon walked out. "What is it, Old Nine?" Aftering out of his cultivation chamber, Prince Dalkon asked the old servant about the important matter. "It''s like this. In the World No. 1021..." Soon, the Old Servant informed everything that Ajax, Draco and others said to Prince Dalkon. That''s right! Ajax might be an esteemed guest of Prince Dalkon; however, the old servant wanted to be thorough about what Ajax said and asked Draco and others about it. Only when their stories matched did this old servant go to disturb Prince Dalkon''s seclusion. "Why will such a thing happen in the Explored Dark Worlds? Moreover, it could only be done by the insiders. We have a traitor in our world, Old Nine." Prince Dalkon was calm as he concluded that it was done by someone from their world who sabotaged the Explored Dark Worlds under their control. "Prince, I think it is because of the uing event." The old servant had already thought of many cases and when he heard Prince Dalkon''s words, he added his thoughts. "I feel the same." Prince Dalkon nodded his head as he muttered, "I think we should investigate it deeper and find that traitor at any cost." "Also, we should once again explore these Explored Dark Worlds as secretly as possible and except for the low-level Darkfire Wraiths and a few mid-level Darkfire Wraiths, we have to clear the remaining ones ... .especially the Darkfire Wraith Leaders." Soon, Prince Dalkon and the old servant named Nine started discussing a n to achieve all their goals. ¡­.. In the Royal Guest Pce, ''Ding, The system haspleted the ''Thorough Analysis'' of the Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The system can now help the host in condensing the low-level Darkfire Crystals to the Giant Darkfire Crystals. Just as Ajax was about to let his Dark-type Summons use the refined low-level Darkfire Crystals, Ajax received two system notifications. ''What? It''s done already? Great.'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised with the system notifications and when he saw that the analysis was sessful, he was over the moon.I think you should take a look at ''Instead of low-level Darkfire Crystals, I can use the high-level Darkfire Crystals on them to increase their strength.'' Ajax took out the 50 High-level Darkfire Crystals he refined back in World No. 1021 and was about to give them to his summoned beings. ''Ding, The host can directly use the Darkfire Crystals to increase the strength of his Dark and Fire-type elementals spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. ''Ding, However, the Darkfire Crystals are more effective on the Dark-type beingspared to the Fire-type beings because there is only 30 percent of fire energy in them. ''Ding, If the host can sacrifice another Darkfire Crystal per grade, the system can try to get the ability to diffuse the Darkfire Crystals into the Dark Crystals and the Fire Crystals. In the next second, a series of system notifications resounded in Ajax''s hand informing him that the system could unlock another ability by the same sacrifice he had made earlier. ''What? You can even diffuse them?'' Ajax was surprised as he started thinking about it. ''If I use the Darkfire Cystals on a Dark-type Summon, I will be losing 30 percent of pure Fire Energy and if I use it on the Fire-type Summon, I will be losing 70 percent of pure Dark Energy.'' ''If it was for a few Darkfire Crystals, it won''t be much of a loss; however, I have so many Darkfire Wriaths and even if I merge them into Giant Darkfire Crystals, I will nearly gain 500 of them. Moreover, I will continue to umte them in the future. So, I should definitely have that ability.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to sacrifice a Darkfire Crystal from each category. ''System, go ahead and pleasantly surprise me just like how you did a few moments back.'' Once Ajax learned about the risks and the sess rate of the analysis which was around 95 percent, much higher than the previous analysis, Ajax permitted the system to do another thorough analysis. ''Ding, One low-level Darkfire Crystal, mid-level Darkfire Crystal and a high-level Darkfire Crystal are consumed. ''Ding, The host didn''t have a Giant Darkfire Crystal. ''Ding, The host can either merge ten high-level Darkfire Crystals or two Special High-level Darkfire Crystals into a Giant Darkfire Crystal. As soon as Ajax permitted the system, it sent him a series of system notifications and asked him to merge a Giant Darkfire Crystal. ''Go ahead and merge two Special High-level Darkfire Crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystal.'' Ajax had already received the conversion rate of the Darkfire Crystals for each category. So, he was not surprised and replied to the system. ''Ding, ording to the system, the estimated time for the second ''Thorough Analysis'' is three hours. Please wait patiently. ¡­.. 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals - 1 mid-level Darkfire Crystal. 10 mid-level Darkfire Crystals - 1 High-level Darkfire Crystal. 10 High-level Darkfire Crystals - 1 Giant Darkfire Crystal. 2 Special High-level Darkfire Crystals - 1 Giant Darkfire Crystal. Chapter 1631 [Bonus ] Divine Merge ''While the systempletes its second Thorough Analysis of the Darkfire Crystals, I will start merging them.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax sent his summons back into the inner world as he sat on the bed and started working. First, he put aside the unrefined Special High-level Darkfire, 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals, 500 mid-level Darkfire Crystals and around 9000 low-level Darkfire Cystals because he was nning to use them all in the me Chamber. 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals to undergo the body tempering in the inner section of the me chamber and then, he nned to use the remaining Darkfire Crystals to exchange for something in the Exchange Section of the me Chamber. ''Once I make everyone believe that I spent all my Darkfire Crystals when I secretly sell them in the Trader''s Realm, no one could have the slightest guess about my identity.'' Even though Ajax could take care of peak emperor realm cultivators, he knew there were still many powerful cultivators in the universe along with many mysterious techniques and skills. Hence, until he awakened his Divine Thunder Rule by at least 50 percent, Ajax wanted to be very careful. ''It would be best if I can awaken that Divine Thunder Rule by 100 percent. It would make me invincible in the universe, right?'' Ajax was not sure about it as he slowly wanted to learn about those things in the future. ''Time to merge them into High-level Darkfire Crystals.'' Once he kept the required Darkfire Crystals aside, Ajax started merging the Darkfire Crystals. ''Merge.'' Holding 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals, Ajax asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host can use one unit of Divine Essence of Nature to remove the traces of Evil Energy in the mid-level Darkfire Crystal thates from the merge. ''Ding, Do you want to use the Divine Merge or do you want a Normal Merge? ''Huh? There is another benefit?'' Today, Ajax kept receiving pleasant surprises from the system, making him excited. For 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals, Ajax had to spend 5 units of Divine Essence of Nature to remove the traces of the Evil Energy; however, now, he had to spend only 1 unit and he would get a refined mid-level Darkfire Crystal. ''Wait a second¡­then what about the cost of Divine Essence of Nature for Divine Merging for mid-level Darkfire Crystals and the HIgh-level Darkfire Crystals.'' Ajax was curious about it and wanted to know their cost before thinking which one would be best for him. ''Ding, For any Divine Merge of the Darkfire Crystals, the host has to spend only one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''What? Only one unit of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Ajax revealed an excited smile as he decided what he had to do next. ''System, I choose normal merge for all the low-level Darkfire Crystals except for the ones I kept aside.'' After learning about the cost of the Divine Essence of Nature for Divine Merge, Ajax decided to use Divine Merging for merging mid-level Darkfire Crystals into high-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Even though it was better to use Divine Merge for merging high-level Darkfire Crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystals, I won''t be able to use them in a short time.'' Since Ajax didn''t have any Dark-type Divine Rules and was nning to upgrade one Dark-type Cultivator''s Law or Soul into a Divine Rule, he needed High-level Darkfire Crystals. So, he nned to merge all the Darkfire Crystals on him into High-level Crystals which can be useful to upgrade Cultivator''s Law, Souls and even Divine Rules. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at The host used normal merge on the 1.1 million low-level Darkfire Crystals and sessfully merged them into 110000 mid-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The host used Divine Merge and spent 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature to convert 1000 mid-level Darkfire Crystals into refined 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, Mid-level Darkfire Crystals: 210000 (unrefined). High-level Darkfire Crystals: 25000 (unrefined), 150 (refined) Special High-level Darkfire Crystals: 10 (unrefined). ''I need to find a way to upgrade my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Even though things were going smoothly, because of the low storage space in his Divine Spirit Consciousness, he had to wait again. ''I wonder whether I can use the Divine Essence of Nature to increase the storage space?'' Ajax thought about how he was able to upgrade the Sacred Astral Space, Jade Space, and Demonic Space in his body and thought whether the same thing would work on the Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, It works; however, the cost to increase a single unit of Storage Space for the Divine Spirit Consciousness is much higher than the other spaces like Sacred Astral Space, Jade Space and Demonic Space. ''Ding, Moreover, only the Divine Essence of Nature that was spent on the Divine Spirit Consciousness is counted, unlike the Sacred Astral Space. For Sacred Astral Space, as long as he spends the Sacred Astral Energy on himself or any of the other injured beings to heal them, it would massively increase the capacity of the Space. ''Isn''t it the same for Jade Space?'' Since Divine Spirit Consciousness was a much higher grade than Energy Space, Ajax had already expected it to have many conditions. ''It''s alright! I can¡­'' So, he decided to give it a try but before he could finish his thought, he saw the two system notifications, they made him bitterly smile. ''Ding, The host has to use 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature on the Divine Spirit Consciousness to increase its capacity by a single unit. ''Ding, As the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness increases, it would be more and more difficult. ''It looks like I have to keep that n on hold for a while.'' Ajax shook his head and thought of giving up on it for now. ''Ding, The fastest way to increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness was by increasing the host''s cultivation to the mid-level Emperor Realm and high-level Emperor Realm. Nevertheless, the system informed Ajax about another way that could help him increase his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity. ''This¡­I already know about it and I am still waiting for you to show me the requirements for the breakthrough.'' Chapter 1632 Diffusion Of The Darkfire Crystals From the beginning, Ajax was following the System''s instructions on his breakthroughs because the system would deduce a perfect breakthrough depending on Ajax''s body constitution and other factors. Of course, it would show the breakthroughs from normal to perfect level and it was in Ajax''s hands to select which type of breakthrough he should have. For example, Ajax could use a Smaller World Core to break through to King''s Realm; however, he used Normal World Core and for breaking through to the Emperor''s Realm, he used a Greater World. In that realm, Ajax''s body could only withstand a Normal World Wore; however after he became a King realm, his body could hold the power of a Greater World Cores. That''s the reason why Ajax could skip levels and realms while killing his opponent. Therefore, Ajax was waiting for the system to show the requirements for him to break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm. ''Ding, Since the host''s Spirit Consciousness has evolved, the system is still figuring out the requirements for the breakthrough. ''Ding, If the host wants to break through, he could directly use any world core to break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm; however, the system suggests the host control the urge to break through. ''Okay. I will wait.'' After reading the system notifications, Ajax understood why it was taking such a long time for the system to figure out the requirements for his breakthrough and it was because of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Since he was already capable of fighting the peak emperor realm cultivators who didn''t awaken any Divine Rules, Ajax wanted to wait for a while. Currently, Ajax was yet to reach 20 years and he could easily wait for a decade or two without any problem; however, he knew that the system won''t take such a long time to show him the requirements for his breakthrough. ''Anyway, I should take some rest as I will be undergoing my first body tempering with the Sentient me.'' Currently, Ajax didn''t have much to do and decided to take rest so that he could be in his top condition when he entered the me Chamber at night. ¡­. In the Royal Pce, "Prince Dalkon, the guards at the Teleportation Center informed us that World No. 1071 along with five other Normal Worlds and seven smaller Dark Worlds under our control were destroyed." While they were discussing a n, the Old Nine''smunication talisman rang as he received the updates about the destroyed worlds and he informed Prince Dalkon of the same thing. "Damn it¡­it looks like the party must have realized that we caught onto their n and started destroying the world to erase the evidence." At first, Prince Dalkon was shocked to hear that and soon, he concluded that it was the powerhouse that was controlling the traitor in his world. As for how they were able to destroy the worlds, Prince Dalkon didn''t have a slight clue and there was no way for him to find out about it. "Prince Dalkon, I think it is better to contact his Majesty and inform him about these things." The old servant felt that the matter had suddenly escted to another level after they learned about the destruction of the explored worlds under their management. Even though they didn''t have much of an ie from these Dark Worlds, they were quite useful for the newbie Emperor Realm Cultivators.I think you should take a look at Moreover, if those worlds were destroyed when there were Exploration Squads, it would be quite problematic as no new Emperor Realm Cultivators would dare to enter the Explored Dark Worlds. "No¡­I haven''t even tried my best yet." Prince Dalkon rejected the old servant''s thought as he said, "Let''s execute the n right away and find the traitor first. Go and check the records at the Teleportation Center." "Prince, since they dare to betray the World, they might have tampered with the records at the Teleportation Center." The old servant indirectly said that they might not find the traitor just from the records at the Teleportation Center. "Haha¡­Old Nine, I am not asking about those manual records; instead, the information that is secretly recorded by the Teleportation Circle itself." "Even though it would be costly to install a new [Data Collecting Array] in the Teleportation Circle, it''s alright! As long as I can find the traitor and the one who is behind him, it''s worth it." Prince Dalkon thought about it and added, "Try to bring that thing without anyone noticing it¡­even the wyverns at the Teleportation Center should not know about it." "Yes, Prince Dalkon." The old servant nodded his head and started working on it. ¡­.. While Prince Dalkon was trying to think what else he could do, Ajax was peacefully resting in his room without a care in the world. Time continued to pass as three hours passed by in a sh as he opened his eyes after receiving the system notification. ''Ding, The second thorough analysis of the Darkfire Crystals has beenpleted and the system can now diffuse the Darkfire Crystals into Dark and Fire Crystals. ''Finally, it''s here.'' Ajax stretched his body a little as he asked the system about the Diffusion of the Darkfire Crystals and learned more things. ording to the system, the minimum quantity for the diffusion of the Darkfire Crystals is 10 and there is no maximum limit to it. For the diffusion of every 10 Darkfire Crystals, Ajax would receive 7 Dark Crystals and 3 Fire Crystals. Also, the system suggested to him that it was better to use the refined Darkfire Crystals for the diffusion; otherwise, there might be a chance of failure due to the Evil Energy traces in the crystals. ''Let''s diffuse them and then see how effective they are on the elemental spirits.'' With a thought, 150 refined high-level Darkfire Crystals appeared in Ajax''s hands as he ordered the system to start the process. ''Ding, The host has sessfully diffused 150 high-level Darkfire Crystals into 105 High-level Dark Crystals and 45 High-level Dark Crystals. ''Necros, and Volcanis,e out. It''s time for your breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.'' Chapter 1633 [Elemental Ascendance] ''Necros, and Volcanis,e out. It''s time for your breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax summoned his two elemental spirits to use the newly diffused Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The host can use one Dark Crystal of any level to make a high-level king realm elemental spirit breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The higher the grade of the Crystals, the more powerful it will be and the more benefits that elemental spirit will get. Just as Ajax was about to think of using the Dark Crystals to increase the Dark Elemental Spirit''s cultivation, he received two system notifications, making Ajax raise his brows. ''What?'' Ajax knew he could use the Darkfire Crystals to increase the cultivation of the Elemental Spirits directly; however, he didn''t expect that they would be simr to how he uses the World Cores to increase his cultivation. ''In this case, I have to use Giant Dark Crystal to help my Elemental Spirits in their breakthrough.'' Ajax had always seen his elemental spirits as a part of himself and he wanted the best resources for them to make them more powerful. Hence, Ajax didn''t think much as he decided to use Giant Dark Crystal to help Necros break through into the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The host merged 10 high-level Dark Crystals into a Giant Dark Crystal and used it on Necros. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax used that, Necros''s entire body shone brightly as changes urred in his body. His transparent body started turning into a human; however, it flickered between the transparent form and the human form before settling in a semi-human form which was half elemental + half human. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit has sessfully broken through to the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, Unlike the other beings, the elemental spirit''s cultivation won''t be divided into three minor levels in the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The elemental spirit has used a Giant Dark Crystal to break through to the Emperor Realm and awakened the [Elemental Ascendance]. ''Ding, For more details, please check the interface of the elemental spirit. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications and nodded his head in understanding for the first two system notifications because he already knew about it. However, Ajax didn''t understand thest system notification and hurriedly checked Necros'' interface. ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Name: Necros (Dark/ Undead). Cultivation: Emperor Realm. Skills: Soul Grimoires, Undead Summons,..... Elemental Ascendance: one percent. Note: The elemental spirit''s battle prowess will be increased by 1 percent.I think you should take a look at Ajax didn''t bother with all the information as he only focused on thest part of the interface. ''Ding, Elemental Ascendance can be considered a Spectacle that all the elemental spirits have to go through if they want to follow their Summoning Master to the Heavenly Human Realm. ''Ding, When the Summoning Masterpletes the tribtion and ascends to the Heavenly Human Realm, he could only bring the Elemental Spirits that had fully increased their Elemental Ascendance to 100 percent. ''What? I can''t bring my elemental spirits if they can''tplete their Elemental Ascendance?'' It was Ajax''s first time hearing about this so-called Elemental Ascendance as his master didn''t tell him about it. ''Maybe he felt that I still have a lot of time before learning about such things; however, isn''t it better to tell me about these things as soon as possible so that I can make enough preparations for my elemental spirits?'' Even though Ajax knew why his master didn''t tell him about the [Elemental Ascendance], he still felt it was not right to hide such things because Ajax has more than 20 elemental spirits with whom he formed a contract. ''Ding, However, the host doesn''t need to worry about the Elemental Spirits that haven''tpleted their [Elemental Ascendance] fully as they would be sent back to their Elemental Spirit Worlds with their cultivation sealed. ''Even though it was good to know that nothing would happen to the Elemental Spirits, I can''t leave them behind.'' Ajax had relied on the Elemental Spirits for many things and now, once he bes stronger, it doesn''t feel right for Ajax to leave them behind and ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. As for the 1 percent increase in the battle prowess of the Elemental Spirit, Ajax didn''t think much about it as it won''t make much of a difference¡­at least for now. ''It looks like I have another important thing to keep track of in the future.'' Ajax silently made a mental note in his head and asked the system about how to increase the percentage of Elemental Ascendance. ''Ding, Only the awakening part is difficult; however, once awakened, as long as the elemental spirit cultivates and absorbs their respective pure energies, their [Elemental Ascendance] would gradually increase. ''It''s good to hear that and if I think correctly, I can use the spirit stones or even these Dark and Fire Crystals to increase their progress, right?'' Just as Ajax asked the system, he received the confirmation made him heave a sigh of relief; however, at the same time, he muttered, ''For Dark-type and Fire Type elemental spirits, it might be easy; however, it would be very difficult for the other type of elemental spirits unless I find Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.'' "Necros, use it." After thinking for a moment, Ajax threw another Giant Dark Crystal at Necros and asked him to use it. "Yes, summoning master." Necros''s eerie voice resounded as he held the Dark Crystal tightly in his hands and tried to absorb the energy in it. ''Kacha'' However, it broke in an instant as a huge amount of pure Dark Energy rushed into his semi-human body. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit Necros used a Giant Dark Crystal and increased his [Elemental Ascendance] by nine percent. ''What? It directly increased by nine percent. What about the other one?'' Ajax was curious about how much percent he could increase Necros'' [Elemental Ascendance] and gave another Giant Dark Crystal. Ajax was not worried about using all the Giant Dark Crystals because he only had two Elemental Spirits and even if he ran out of the Crystals, he could farm for more in the Dark Region Chapter 1634 [Bonus ] Four Elemental Spirit Emperors ''Kacha'' Soon, Necros crushed the second and third Giant Dark Crystals as the pure Dark Energy once again entered his body. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used a Giant Dark Crystal and increased the [Elemental Ascendance] by five percent. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit used a Giant Dark Crystal and increased the [Elemental Ascendance] by one percent. ''Ding, Elemental Ascendance: 16 percent. Compared to the first Giant Dark Crystal, the efficiency of the Dark Crystals drastically decreased to one percent. ''Even though it was reduced to 1 percent per Giant Dark Crystal, it''s alright. For now, I don''t have to worry about the Dark Crystals; instead, I have to worry about refining them.'' Currently, Ajax has lots of Darkfire Crystals; however, he needed to refine them first and then he had to merge them into Giant Dark Crystals and then diffuse them into Dark and Fire Crystals. However, Ajax didn''t have enough Divine Essence of Nature and thus, he could only wait until he entered the Floating Ind to work on these Darkfire Crystals. ''Since the Exploration Squads are not allowed for three months after their exploration, I could only wait for the three months and focus onpleting my other goals.'' With the things that Ajax had to do, the time would pass very quickly and he believed that the current quantity of the Darkfire Crystals would be enough for him until his next exploration. "Volcanis, you know what to do, right?" After spending four Giant Dark Crystals on Necros, Ajax was not in a hurry to spend more Giant Dark Crystals on him as he had another Dark Elemental Spirit in the inner world waiting for his breakthrough. However, Ajax wanted to help Zen after he helped Volcanis. Soon, he threw a Giant Fire Crystal at Volcanis. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Volcanis used the Giant Fire Crystal and changes started happening to his body as it was somewhere between the Transparent and a Human form. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit has sessfully broken through to the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The elemental spirit has used a Giant Fire Crystal to break through to the Emperor Realm and awakened the [Elemental Ascendance] (One percent). Like Necros, Volcanis also awakened the [Elemental Ascendance] without any problem and the entire credit goes to the Giant Fire Crystal. ''If I can find such crystals of other elements, it would be quite easy for my other types of elemental spirits to awaken this [Elemental Ascendance].'' Ajax knew that if he used High-level Fire Crystal for the breakthrough, the awakening chances of the [Elemental Ascendance] might be very wrong. So, he hoped to find the Crystals belonging to the other elemental spirits inrge quantities such that he could merge them into Giant Crystals. "Thank you, master. We have finally be Emperor Realm Spirits and even unlocked the [Elemental Ascendance]. As long as we work hard, we can follow you to the Divine Heavenly Realm and assist you." Both Volcanis and Necros thanked Ajax as they reminisced how they met Ajax and how much they have grown in such a short time. Ajax smiled in reply as he summoned two more Elemental Spirits, Zen and Ignis and gave them the Giant Dark Crystals. ¡­. After a few minutes, ''Ding, 1) Necros, Emperor Realm Dark Elemental Spirit.I think you should take a look at Elemental Ascendance: 21 percent. 2) Volcanis, Emperor Realm Fire Elemental Spirit. Elemental Ascendance: 15 percent. 3) Ignis, Emperor Realm Fire Elemental Spirit. Elemental Ascendance: 11 percent. 4) Zen, Emperor Realm Dark Elemental Spirit. Elemental Ascendance: 20 percent. Soon, the brief information about the four elemental spirits showed in front of Ajax as he gave his remarks on them. ''Among the four elemental spirits, Volcanic was quite lucky as his Elemental Ascendance increased by 14 percent after using his first Giant Fire Crystal.'' Unlike the 105 High-level Dark Crystals, Ajax only had 45 High-level Fire Crystals. So, he was able to condense 10 Giant Dark Crystals and 4 Giant Fire Crystals. He shared equally with the Dark Elemental Spirits and the Fire Elemental Spirits; however, Volcanic had already caught up to them with a single Giant Fire Crystal. As long as Ajax provides another two Giant Fire Crystals, his awakening percentage would be higher than anyone among the four elemental spirits. ''I wonder whether it was the same for the Contracted Spirit Beasts for their breakthrough.'' After sending his four elemental spirits, Aja asked the system about it. ''Ding, Yes. However, unlike the elemental spirits, they would reach the low-level Emperor Realm using a single Dark Crystal or a Fire Crystal. Note: Only the spirit beasts with respective elements could use these two crystals. ''But, I only have High-level Dark and Fire Crystals. I think I should wait and merge them into Giant Crystals before using them on my Contracted Spirit Beasts.'' Ajax didn''t have to think much as he decided to help his Contracted Spirit Beast on the Floating Ind. ¡­.. In the Royal Pce, As Ajax was rxing after merging and diffusing the Darkfire Crystals, Prince Dalkon and his old servant finally found five suspicious wyverns in the automated records of the Teleportation Circle. "Old Nine, I don''t care what methods you use, I want to find theplete information. Who is the traitor among them and whose orders he or they are following and what''s their motive¡­everything. I want to know everything by tomorrow morning." Prince Dalkon could only entrust this task to Old Nine as he was the only wyvern that he could trust after his father. As long as he gives a mission to Old Nine, he wouldplete it before the deadline. Hence, he was confident in the old servant. ¡­. ''Ting'' ''Ting'' Time continued to pass and it was finally the time for Ajax to meet up with Draco and others before entering the me Chamber. ''The first evening bell of the me Chamer has rung.'' Ajax was waiting for the bell sound for a while and as soon as he heard it, Ajax walked out of the pce; however, he didn''t find the old servant. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he already knew the directions to the me Chamber and soon, he met Draco and others. "Let''s enter the me Chamber." Chapter 1635 Flame Chamber Even though the Stormfire Wyvern World was just a Normal Dragon World, it had joined the Dragonheart Society which only the Greater Dragon Worlds have the right to join. However, the reason why the Stormfire Wyvern World was able to achieve that feat was because of the Sentient me and the me Chamber that was built by one of the Ancestors of Prince Dalkon. With the help of the me Chamber, the cultivator could use that Sentient me stored in it to undergo body tempering and for Stormfire Wyverns, they could purify their bloodline along with the body tempering. The me Chamber was a huge circr building constructed from durable materials infused with spiritual energy and its exterior often features intricate carvings or inscriptions denoting symbols of power and protection. Safety measures are paramount, as the fire-based training within the me Chamber can be exceptionally intense. Surrounding the circr building are arrays of spiritual barriers, designed to contain any potential explosions or violent energy fluctuations that may ur during the tempering process. These barriers serve as a protective shield, ensuring the safety of nearby cultivators and preventing the escape of uncontrolled mes. "Let''s enter the me Chamber." Looking at the mighty construction in front of them, Draco and others excitedly said and started walking into it. Everyone was excited about their body tempering with their First Sentient me, The Stormfire and obviously, they didn''t waste any time and entered the me Chamber. "Please Show the Darkfire Crystals." Two humanoid Wyvern guards were guarding the me Chamber''s entrance and another one waszily sitting on his chair made of unknown material. Seeing Ajax and othersing towards the me Chamber, thezy wyvern asked them to show their crystal. "Here." Ajax had already learned how the me Chamber works with the help of Draco and others as he showed the 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals with a slight smile on his face. Draco and others also showed their 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals with excited looks on their faces. They still felt they were in a dream because they never expected to get their hands on the high-level Darkfire crystals so soon. ''High-level Darkfire Crystals?'' On the other hand, thezy guard who was in charge of writing the records regarding the entrance of the me Chamber was shocked. He hurriedly stood up and asked, "Respected Sirs, can you tell me your names so that I can write them down." Only the young masters of the top families or the powerful cultivators were capable of getting their hands on the High-level Darkfire Crystals. Hence, he was as polite as possible while asking for their names and recording them. "Respected Sir, there are the tokens to the special chambers in the inner section of the me Chamber. With these, you can enter the chamber and undergo body tempering and bloodline tempering." Even though he didn''t know why there was a human cultivator, the guards didn''t say anything as they gave the entry tokens to their special chambers in the inner section of the me Chamber. To enter the me Chamber, one is required to have the Darkfire Crystals and depending on their level, they could undergo body tempering in the outer section, middle section and inner section. For the outer section, there won''t be rooms as everyone would be undergoing their body tempering in the open inside the me Chamber and of course, the body tempering won''t be much effective but it was still helpful for the cultivator. In the middle section, there are rooms but 10 cultivators have to share the room and only if there were 10 cultivators, would they allow the cultivators who brought mid-level Darkfire Crystals. If not for Ajax, Draco and others would have to wait for another six cultivators to enter the middle section of the me Chamber to undergo the body tempering.I think you should take a look at As for the effects in the middle section, it is much greater and could turn an average Stormfire Wyvern into a little genius. As for the Inner Section, each cultivator gets their own special chamber and they don''t have to worry about getting disturbed by others as the walls of their special chambers are soundproof. "Thank you." Ajax, Draco and others thanked the guards as they took the Entry Token before entering the building as they were guided straight to the inner section. "Everyone, let''s endure and stay for an entire day." Soon, everyone entered their special chambers after wishing one another. ¡­. In one of the Special Chambers, The special chamber was not big but not small either. At the center of the special chamber, there was a stone b on which the cultivator needed to sit down. As soon Ajax entered the chamber, he didn''t waste any time as he ced the 10 Darkfire Crystals in the ten holes around the stone b. ''Let''s see how much pain it would be.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax sat on the stone b and waited for the Stormfire to do its thing. ''Swoosh'' In no time, bluish mes came out of the 10 holes around the stone b and covered Ajax''s whole body. ''A human?'' Suddenly, Ajax heard a surprised old voice in his ears; however, he was not surprised because he knew that voice belonged to the Sentient me. ording to Draco and others, the Sentient me in the inner section of the me Chamber would speak with the cultivators before the process starts and encourage them with its words. ''Human, once the body tempering starts, you have to stay strong and endure the pain at any cost. As long as you survive it, your body will be stronger.'' Ajax continued to hear that voice as he suddenly thought of something; however, he controlled his urge to ask. Instead, he decided to stay calm andplete the body tempering first. "The Body Tempering will begin now." In the next second, Ajax, who was already covered in blue-coloured mes felt an unbearable scorching pain all over his body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 2 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. Chapter 1636 Resuming The Body Cultivation ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 2 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. Just a few seconds after his body tempering had started, Ajax received a system notification regarding his body cultivation. In the past, after Ajax became a King Realm Body Cultivator, he stopped focusing on it as he was busy increasing his Spirit Cultivation, Alchemy and a few other things. And now, once he started undergoing the body tempering, it broke to the next level in an instant. With the breakthrough in his body cultivation, the scorching pain decreased a little for a few moments before increasing again. ''Aragh'' As time passed, the scorching pain all over his body increased as his skin started bing red before showing the signs of charring. However, Ajax had felt this kind of pain many times and he was confident in enduring for at least an hour as long as the intensity of the me remained the same. ''Huh? What is this second type of pain?'' Along with the scorching pain, Ajax started feeling another pain all over his body. It was a pulsating pain as though he was being cut by something at regr intervals. ''They are hidden storm des that could make you feel you are being cut by sharp des.'' To his surprise, the Stormfire''s voice resounded in Ajax''s ears, making him nod his head. ''This human''s body is just as strong as the Stormfire Wyvern.'' Seeing that Ajax was able to respond to his voice despite the scorching and pulsating pain, the Stormfire was surprised and praised Ajax. Human bodies are naturally much weaker than the Stormfire Wyverns and the Dragons. So, of course, it was a surprise for the Stormfire to see Ajax''s body wasparable to the Stormfire Wyvern whose bodies were already tempering by the insane environment in the world. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 3 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. After 10 minutes, Ajax had another breakthrough in his body cultivation which pleasantly surprised him. Like before, after the breakthrough, Ajax felt that the intensity of the Stormfire around him was no longer as painful as a few moments ago. However, he knew that it would be long before the scorching and pulsating pain increased to the next level. ''Thanks to the breakthrough, I can take a break for a few moments.'' Even though Ajax said ''Break'', in reality, it was not because he was still feeling the pain; however, it was within the range of where Ajax could endure. ''At this rate, I might be an Emperor Realm Body Cultivator by the time I leave the me Chamber tomorrow.'' It''s been less than 15 minutes and he had already broken two levels in his King Realm in his body cultivation. So, Ajax was hoping to break through to the Emperor Realm in a single go. No matter which section a cultivator enters the me Chamber, they have to leave after one day and if they want to enter the me Chamber again, they have to collect the respective Darkfire Crystals. Moreover, from the second entry onwards, the body tempering won''t be much effective unless they move closer to the Sentient me.I think you should take a look at After two minutes, the intensity of the Stormfire reached the next level; however, surprisingly, he was still able to manage it with ease. Time continued to pass as one hour passed before Ajax felt familiar unbearable pain around his body. The pain continued for another hour before Ajax received a pleasant system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 4 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. Along with the breakthrough, the pain lessened and made Ajax heave a sigh of relief. ''Why did it take so long for this breakthrough? Is the me intensity not strong enough?'' ording to Ajax''s estimation, he would start feeling an unbearable pain after at least two or three hours and after that, it would take another two or three hours for his next breakthrough. ''Or it might even take longer than six hours.'' When he thought about the estimated time for his next breakthrough, Ajax frowned because won''t be an Emperor Realm Body Cultivator in a single day at this speed. ''So, he is a body cultivator. No wonder he was able to quickly recover his body from my mes every time he broke through in his cultivation.'' On the other hand, the Stormfire finally understood why Ajax was still not showing any signs of struggling after staying in the inner section of the me Chamber for more than two hours. It was because Draco and others who were in the other special chambers were already struggling a lot and even requesting the Stormfire to decrease the intensity of its mes so that their bodies could adapt to the mes. "Sir Stormfire, can you increase the intensity of your mes?" Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and asked Stormfire about it. Since he could hear the Stormfire''s voice in his head, Ajax thought the Stormfire could also hear his voice. Hence, he decided to give it a try as there was no harm in trying it. ''My intensity to the inner section is at its maximum and if you want, I can only decrease but can''t increase.'' There was a reply from the Stormfire as it continued, ''If you want to feel more fire intensity, you have to enter the Core Section of the me Chamber.'' ''Core Section? There is another section inside the me Chamber?'' Ajax was surprised because he didn''t expect there was another section as Draco and others didn''t mention it. The thing is, even they didn''t know about it, much less tell Ajax about it. "Sir Stormfire, how can I enter it? Do I need to get Giant Darkfire Crystals?" Since High-level Darkfire Crystals give ess to the inner section, Ajax thought the Giant Darkfire Crystals would give ess to the Core Section. Even though Ajax didn''t want to use more Darkfire Crystals, Ajax felt that as long as he could gain ess to the Core Section of the me Chamber, he could go back and return with ten Darkfire Crystals before making up a story for the source of those Darkfire Crystals. Chapter 1637 [Bonus ] Sentient Flame: Stormfire The reason why Ajax was once again focused on body cultivation was because of his Divine Thunder Rule. ording to the system, his physical body was still too weak to endure the Divine Thunder Rule and if he could make his body stronger, he could increase the duration for which he couldst after activating his Divine Thunder Law. Of course, if the Giant Darkfire Crystals could gain him ess to the Core Section, he was not nning to use them right away as it would raise doubts in the higher-ups of the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''No. You can''t enter it even if you have them. It is only reserved for the royal descendants and it will be opened only once a year¡­haha.'' However, to Ajax''s surprise, the Stormfire informed him that even the Giant Darkfire Crystals won''t give him ess to the Core Section of the me Chamber. ''Should I give it a try? Or just make my move when I enter the me Chamber for the second time.'' When Ajax first learned that he couldmunicate with the Stormfire, he thought of bargaining with the Sentient me to gain as many benefits as possible. However, he decided to wait and observe for a while before deciding what to do. And now, if Ajax didn''t do anything, at most he would break through to level 5 King Realm in his body cultivation. ''Let''s give it a try.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to execute the n he had made before entering the me Chamber. "What if I give you¡­.a Giant Fire Crystal?" ''Swoosh'' With a thought, a fist-sized red-coloured crystal appeared in Ajax''s hands as he waited for the Stormfire''s reply. After learning that the Giant Darkfire Crystals won''t gain him ess to the Core Section of the me Chamber, Ajax silently merged 10 Giant Darkfire Crystals and diffused them into 7 Giant Dark Crystals and 3 Giant Fire Crystals. From those three Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax decided to use one of them to bargain with the Stormfire for some special treatment. As for whether it would work or not, Ajax could only wait for Stormfire''s reply. ''T-this is¡­.how did you get such a Giant Fire Crystal?'' Soon, Ajax heard a shocked voice, making him quite hopeful regarding his special benefits. "I heard from my master that these Giant Fire Crystals are delicious foods for the Sentient mes. I wonder whether you will give me ess to the Core Section?" Ajax asked with a slight smile hiding his anxiousness of being rejected by the Stormfire. ''Yes. I can give you ess to the Core Section; however, I need 100 Giant Fire Crystals.'' Even though the Stormfire''s old voice seemed calm, Ajax could tell that the Giant Fire Crystals were indeed delicious foods for the Sentient mes. ''It looks like I am fated not to enter the Core Section of the me Chamber.'' In the next second, Ajax bitterly shook his head as he kept the Giant Fire Crystal back in his storage ring and stopped saying anything further. Even though Ajax could bring out 100 Giant Fire Crystals, he won''t be able to create a story from where he got so many Giant Fire Crystals. If it was one or two Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax could use his master''s name. Because his master was also one of the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators who lived for nearly 1000 years or even more, no one would doubt the authenticity of his story and would easily believe him. But, for 100 Giant Fire Crstyals, it would definitely raise doubts about him and his master and once this news spreads, both Master and Disciple duo would be hunted by everyone. I think you should take a look at ''What?'' The Stormfire thought Ajax would bargain a little; however, soon, it realized that it really asked for too much from Ajax. ''Fine¡­as long as you give me 10 Giant Fire Crystals, I can let you enter the Core Section. Also, if you want, I can even hide the deal between us¡­haha.'' The Stormfire thought about it a little and offered him another deal. "Sorry, but I only have one Giant Fire Crystal." Ajax remained calm and didn''t show any interest in the deal because he could sense that the Stormfire seemed to have that Giant Fire Crystal at any cost. Hence, Ajax wanted to use that to his advantage. ''Fine¡­let''s go.'' Seeing that Ajax was showing any interest in the deal, the Stormfire believed that he only had a single Giant Fire Crystal. Therefore, it decided to let him give ess to the Core Section and take that Giant Fire Crystal because it''s been ages since it eats a Giant Fire Crystal. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the Stormfire said that, the stone b that Ajax was sitting on disappeared and a hole appeared on the floor. In the second, Ajax fell into a hole and by the time he opened his eyes, Ajax felt a scorching pain along with a pulsating pain. ''Aargh'' Even though the pain made Ajax think that he would die, he gritted his teeth and endured it for a few minutes as he finally received a pleasant system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 5 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. With the breakthrough, the pain decreased a little; however, it was still quite unbearable for Ajax. ''If you want to break through quickly, you can take a step forward.'' While enduring the pain, Ajax thought to check his surroundings; however, he heard Stormfire''s voice that suggested something to him. "Okay" However, Ajax didn''t take the step forward because he wanted to adjust the current intensity of the Stormfire for a few minutes before stepping forward. Soon, Ajax started checking his surroundings and saw a blue-coloured me floating a few meters away from him and it was surrounded by powerful storms. Nevertheless, the Stormfire was very stable as it floated in mid-air. ''So that is a Stormfire. It''s quite beautiful.'' The Stormfire is both beautiful and terrifying, possessing a duality that reflects the chaotic and unpredictable nature of storms. ''Huh? These are¡­.Darkfire Crystals?'' Suddenly, Ajax''s eyes fell on the huge piles of Darkfire Crystals lying on the floor below where the Stormfire was floating. Chapter 1638 A Deal With The Sentient Flame The space in the core section of the me Chamber was not big and it was only around 200 square feet. In the center, the Stormfire was floating in mid-air amidst the violent storms. However,pared to the intense me and the terrifying storms in the core section, what shocked Ajax was the piles of Darkfire Crystals lying around the ground. Just like how there was a stone b in the Special Chamber in the inner section of the me Chamber, there was a simr stone b in the core section and around the stone b, Ajax saw the piles of Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The system estimates there are around: 1) 100 million low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) 50 million mid-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) 10 million High-level Darkfire Crystals. Note: All of these Darkfire Crystals are free of Evil Energy. Soon, the system sent him an estimated Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section giving him quite a shock because he didn''t expect there would be such a huge number of Darkfire Crystals in such a small space. ''Does the Stormfire have the ability to remove the traces of Evil Energy?'' After reading the ''Note'', Ajax started thinking of something. Even though Ajax also could remove the traces of Evil Energy, it was not cost-effective and it would take a lot of time to refine them even with his Divine Merge. Therefore, if possible, Ajax wanted to do something about it. ''Now, can I have my Giant Fire Crystal?'' While Ajax was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain and thinking about what more he could do about refining the Darkfire Crystals, he heard Stormfire''s voice in his head. However, Ajax was unable to pay attention to it. Moreover, Ajax was also thinking about how he could get all of these Darkfire Crystals from Stormfire. ''Human?'' Seeing that it was being ignored, the Stomrfire could not help but call him again. "Huh? Sorry, what are you saying?" Ajax stopped thinking and asked Stormfire about it. "Here." After knowing what the Stormfire wants, Ajax took out his Giant Fire Crystal. ''Even though there are traces of Evil Energy, it won''t be a problem for me.'' The Giant Fire Crystal was still in Ajax''s hands as the mes covering Ajax''s body moved and covered the Giant Fire Crystal before saying those words. ''Swoosh'' Ajax opened one eye to see the Giant Fire Crystal and saw that after one minute, the traces of evil energy inside the Giant Fire Crystal flew out and burned into nothingness. ''It''s very convenient.'' Looking at how easily the Stormire removed the traces of the Evil Energy, Ajax could not help but wanted such an ability too. However, soon, he shook his head and focused on his body tempering. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 6 King Realm in his Body Cultivation.I think you should take a look at After half an hour, Ajax finally had a breakthrough in his body tempering and he felt the intensity of the mes decreased quite a bit. Hence, he took a deep breath and started adjusting his body for the next level of me intensity. "Sir Stormfire, you have so many Dakfire Crystals but it must be quite troublesome to absorb the Fire Energy from them, right?" Ajax''s body had a good affinity with all elements and hence, his body was able to adapt and adjust to the different environments very quickly. Therefore, after adjusting his body, Ajax asked Stormfire about it. ording to Ajax, the Stormfire was unable to eat the Darkfire Crystals very fast because a Darkfire Crystal only had 30 percent of Fire Energy and the remaining 70 percent was of Dark Energy which was useless for the Stormfire. That was the only reason Ajax could think of regarding the huge piles of Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section. ''Yes, it''s quite troublesome as it is a time-consuming process.'' The Stormfire replied in a low voice as it asked Ajax, ''Now, throw the Giant Fire Crystal at me.'' "Okay." Ajax tossed the Giant Fire Crystal as he asked, "Then, what about the Dark Energy? What will you do?" ''Crunch'' As soon as he tossed the Giant Fire Crystal, Ajax heard the munching sounds and he didn''t get any reply for a few minutes. Ajax didn''t disturb it thinking that the Stormfire was enjoying its food and quietly focused on the body tempering waiting for the Stormfire''s reply. ''What else? I will burn them into nothingness.'' After devouring the Giant Fire Crystal, the blue me glowed for a moment as it replied to Ajax. "So, how about we help each other? Of course, this will be a secret deal and other than us, no one should know about it. Only then, I can talk about the details of the deal." Ajax was not in a hurry to speak about the details as he wanted to make sure no one else knows about this deal. "By the way, this deal is regarding the Giant Fire Crystals. So, I want to have an assurance that I can trust you." Ajax didn''t know whether the cultivators knew about the uses of the Giant Darkfire Crystals or not; however, he assumed that they knew about it. So, once the news about Ajax having so many pure Giant Fire Crystals was spread to them, it would be very troublesome for Ajax. Hence, he wanted to make sure everything before making another deal with the Giant Fire Crystals. ''Didn''t I already say that I will keep everything that was happening in the Core Section a secret?'' The Stormfire''s breathing increased when it heard that the deal was reading the ''Giant Fire Crystals'' and replied to Ajax. "Of course, you said; however, I said, I wanted assurance. What if you kill me after I give you the Giant Fire Crystals?" That''s right! Ajax had another fear that the Stormfire might kill him after it takes the Giant Fire Crystals. Even though Ajax felt the chances were very low, he still wanted to be assured before making the deal. ''Haha¡­human¡­you are indeed a human for being very careful; however, why do you think I won''t kill you now?'' As soon as it said these words, the Stormfire increased the intensity of the me to the maximum. ''Aargh'' ****** When Ajax''s Poprity reaches 100000 points in the Character Disy, an Additional Bonus Chapter will be released. Chapter 1639 Restrictions Of A Sentient Flame In the High-level Trader''s Realm, "Sir, I just got the update that we have already bought the nt essence from the traders worth one trillion?" The female attendant in the Special Notice Service Center rushed to the Cat Statue with an excited smile on her face to inform her about the Sales Value. "Huh? One Trillion already?" It''s been not even oneplete day and the sales have already reached one trillion Trader''s Token. Even though they made transactions worth hundreds of trillions, it was still an achievement for them to reach one Trillion Trader''s Tokens in a single day. Hence, the Cat Statue was surprised for a moment before saying, "It looks like you can buy a small world after this transaction." "Hopefully, our clientes aste as possible and makes us spend more money to buy the nt essence. At that time, we can take all his worlds. At that time, you might even get a Normal World of your own." The female attendant didn''t say anything as she continued to hear the Cat Statue''s words and started fantasising about her dream that woulde true soon. ¡­. In the Core Section of the me Chamer, Stormfire Wyvern World. ''Aargh'' With the sudden increase of the me intensity, Ajax felt an unbearable pain that made him fall to his knees. ''Damn it¡­this is bad.'' Ajax gritted his head and cursed in his head and said, "F.. fine ¡­go ¡­ahead¡­ and¡­kill¡­me. You won''t be able to enjoy the Giant Fire Crystals anymore." After saying that, Ajax sat crossed-legged and was ready to activate his Divine Thunder Rule to break free from the me Chamber. Compared to dying inside the me Chamber, Ajax wanted to use all his trump cards to survive the mes first. As for the consequences, Ajax had a rough n on how to escape from the Stormfire Wyvern World. However, he didn''t want to go through all that hassle and wanted the Stormfire to calm down. ''Haha'' To his surprise, Ajax felt that the me''s intensity decreased a bit; however, it was not because of the breakthrough. Instead, the Stomrfire retracted its intensity andughed out loud before saying, ''You are quite braver than anyone else I have seen; however, it looks like you still don''t know much about the Sentient mes.'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 7 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. Amidst that, Ajax broke through once again which decreased the Scorching Pain and the Pulsating Pain by another bit, making Ajax feel normal despite staying so close to the Stormfire. ''Huh?'' However, Ajax''s focus was not on his breakthrough; instead, he was focused on the Stormfire''s words. ''Okay¡­okay. Let me exin some things about the Sentient mes.'' Seeing the confused look on Ajax''s face, the Stormfire started exining in his ears. ''Once a me bes a Sentient Falme, it has some restrictions on it and don''t ask me why and who ced them as I don''t have an answer for it.'' With that, the Stormfire started saying the restrictions on it. 1) A Sentient me can''t kill any being in the universe unless it wants to turn back into a Wild me that couldn''t think and only focused on burning everything unless it''sst bit of energy. That''s the reason why all the cultivators were excited to undergo body tempering with the Sentient mes as no one would die during the body tempering with the Sentient mes. 2) No Sentient me can go back on their words. Once I promise something, it is equivalent to the cultivators swearing an oath under the Heavens. 3) Once a Sentient me receives help from someone, it should repay it back one way or the other. I received help from a Stormfire Wyvern who allowed me to stay in this world and even built a me Chamber a millennia back and in return, I am repaying him by helping his descendant purify their bloodlines. ''So, I hope these restrictions on the Sentient mes can be an assurance to you for discussing the Deal?'' After saying the three most important restrictions on the Sentient mes and how it was still following them until now, the Stormfire asked Ajax whether they were enough. "They are enough." Ajax was surprised to hear that there were restrictions on the Sentient me; however, when he thought about it, Ajax realized something. ''No wonder, the master sent me to undergo the body tempering here. So, it was the safest body tempering process.'' Even though it was the safest body tempering process, it was definitely not a painless process. Nevertheless, as long as a cultivator could endure the pain from the me intensity, their body would be strong. "They are good enough." Ajax nodded his head as he slowly started exining the deal he thought of to the Stormfire, "If you give me all these Darkfire Crystals, I will give you Giant Fire Crystals. What do you say?" ''You want all these Darkfire Crystals?'' Hearing Ajax''s words, the Stormfire was surprised; however, it remembers that Ajax was able to take out a Giant Fire Crystal, and it didn''t doubt Ajax''s words. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head with a painful expression that came from the me intensity that was increased with the passage of time. Nevertheless, Ajax was able to endure it. ''Sure.'' On the other hand, the Stormfire didn''t think much about it because Giant Fire Crystals are the most delicious foods in the universe. ''So, how many Giant Fire Crystals will you give me in return for taking my millions of Darkfire Crystals?'' At the same time, the Stormfire asked Ajax about the price. "How many Giant Fire Crystals are you expecting, Sir Stormfire?" Ajax had already thought of how many Giant Fire Crystals he had to trade for the refined Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section; however, he wanted to hear what the Stormfire''s price was. Depending on that, he wanted to start bargaining with the Sentient me. ''I want at least 10000 Giant Fire Crystals and you can take all these Darkfire Crystals.'' The Stormfire thought about it for a moment and said its price. "1000 Giant Fire Crystals." **** When Ajax''s Poprity reaches 100000 points in the Character Disy, an Additional Bonus Chapter will be released. Chapter 1640 [Bonus ] Bargaining ording to the system''s estimation of the Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section, Ajax could merge them into around 600000 Giant Darkfire Crystals. After diffusing them, Ajax would gain 180000 Giant Fire Crystals; however, a Giant Darkfire Crystal is around 100 times more valuable than a High-level Darkfire Crystal. Moreover, even if someone gives 100 High-level Darkfire Crystals, they could not buy a Giant Darkfire Crystal. Even now, in the Core Section of the me Chamber, there were millions of Darkfire Crystals for the low-level, mid-level and high-level; however, there was not a single Giant Darkfire Crystal. From this, it could be considered how valuable and rare the Giant Darkfire Crystals are. ''At most, I should finalize the deal for 18000-20000 Giant Fire Crystals.'' Hence, after adding the costs of merging the Darkfire Crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystals and then diffusing them into Pure Giant Fire Crystals and the Pure Giant Dark Crystals. Ajax decided to not give more than 20000 Giant Fire Crystals. ''Huh? 10000 Giant Fire Crystal?'' As he thought, Ajax heard the Stormfire asking him half of what he wanted to give the Stormfire. ''That''s the benefit of asking the other party for the price.'' Ajax was excited; however, he tried his best not to show emotions on his face and said a price from his side. "1000 Giant Fire Crystals." Stormfire: "9000 Giant Fire Crystals. I am giving you millions of Darkfire Crystals and I am asking you for less than 10000 Darkfire Crystals." Ajax: "2000. What if there were millions of stones? They can''t bepared to Pure Giant Fire Crystals." . . . The bargain between a me and a Human went on for a few minutes as they gave their reasoning behind their quoted price. "5000 Giant Fire Crystals¡­.it''s final. I can''t go any lower now." Even though the Stormfire said that it didn''t mean because it''s been centuries since it had devoured a Giant Fire Crystal and it was willing to buy them at any price. For it, the Darkfire Crystals would be umted with time. So, it didn''t care much about the millions of Stones. "Deal." Actually, Ajax would have directly finalized the deal at 10000 Giant Fire Crystals; however, if he readily agreed, the Stormfire would increase the price in the future for the Darkfire Crystals. That''s right! Ajax wanted to continue to have these secret deals with the Stormfire in the future because Ajax had a lot of Contracted Spirit Beasts and Elemental Spirits to take care of them. Moreover, he could use them on his own cultivator''sws or souls belonging to the Dark and Fire elements. ''So, when are you going to give me the 5000 Giant Fire Crystals?'' Earlier, Ajax imed that he only had one Giant Fire Crystal to gain ess to the Core Section of the me Chamber. Hence, the Stormfire asked when would Ajax give it the 5000 Giant Fire Crystals. "Wait a second." Ajax replied to Stomrfire with a slight smile as he silently ordered the system, ''System, merge all my mid-level and high-level Darkfire Crystals into 20000 Giant Darkfire Crystals.'' ''Ding, 210000 mid-level Darkfire Crystals are merged into 21000 high-level Darkfire Crystals. Total High-level Darkfire Crystals: 50000 (Unrefined). ''Ding, 50000 high-level Darkfire Crystals are merged into 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, 8 Special high-level Darkfire Crystals [Refined] are merged into 4 Giant Darkfire Crystals [Refined]. ''Ding, Total Giant Darkfire Crystals: 5000 (Unrefined), 4 (Refined). As soon as he gave the order, the system started working and the huge pile of Darkfire Crystals in his space ring turned into 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals. Since the Sentient me didn''t have a problem removing the traces of the evil energy in the crystals, Ajax didn''t bother to refine them any more. ''As for the Giant Dark Crystals, I will slowly ask the Sentient me to help me.'' That''s right! Ajax no longer bothered to use his Divine Essence of Nature to refine the Darkfire Crystals and take Sentient me''s help. In the future, Ajax doesn''t have to worry about refining them because the Darkfire Crystals around him didn''t have any traces of evil energy and he could use them instantly. ''Now, diffuse them.'' Looking at the 5000 Giant Darkfire Crystals, Ajax gave another order to the system which instantly diffused them. ''Ding, Giant Dark Crystals: 3500 (Unrefined). Fire Dark Crystals: 1500 (Unrefined). "For now, I will give 1500 Giant Fire Crystals and for the remaining 3500 crystals, I will give the remaining crystals in a month. What do you say?" Seeing that after merging all the Darkfire Crystals on him, Ajax was able to get only 1500 Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax shook his head. Nevertheless, he was confident in convincing the Stormfire. ''You have more Giant Fire Crystals on you? So, you fooled me earlier?'' When it heard that Ajax had 1500 Giant Fire Crystals on him right now, the Stormfire was surprised. Instead of bing angry for fooling it, the Stormfire became excited as it said, ''Good¡­good.'' For the Stormfire who had not tasted the Giant Fire Crystals for a long time, it was happy to get 1500 of them at once. Hence, he was not angry at Ajax and informed him, ''You can take all the Darkfire Crystals in the Core Section.'' "I am waiting for these words." As soon as he heard the Stormfire''s words, Ajax hurriedly took out his space ring and started absorbing all the Darkfire Crystals around him. In the Core Section of the me Chamber, a human was happy to gain millions of Darkfire Crystals and a me was happying devouring the Giant Fire Crystals. Of course, after devouring 10 Giant Fire Crystals, the Stormfire stopped eating and stored the remaining crystals for ater date. ''Human, you are currently undergoing body tempering.'' Seeing how excitedly Ajax was, the Stormfire reminded him that he was currently undergoing Body Tempering. Maybe because of his excitement or maybe from his breakthroughs, Ajax didn''t feel much scorching pain while absorbing the Darkfire Crystals into his space ring. ''Human, I have an interesting deal for you.'' As Ajax was collecting the Darkfire Crystals, the Stormfire repeated Ajax''s style and asked, ''It is regarding a Divine me Rule. Are you interested?'' Chapter 1641 New Divine Rule ''The deal is regarding a Divine me Rule. Are you interested?'' It was just like how Ajax asked the Stormfire earlier; however, the Stormfire didn''t ask him to assure it. Instead, it just asked whether Ajax was interested in the deal it had. "A deal regarding Divine me Rule? I am interested." If it was before, Ajax might have thought about it; however, after learning about the usage of the Giant Fire Crystals and having a good number of the Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax thought he could give it a try regarding the Divine me Rule. Even though he could not use the Divine Thunder Rule and the Divine me Rule back to back, Ajax thought it would be useful in one or other cases. Just like how the Thunder Rule was effective against Demonic Beings and Evil Beings, the me Rule was effective against Nature-type beings and Wind-type beings. ''If you give me another 1000 Giant Fire Crystals, I will help you instantly awaken a Divine me Rule: The Stormfire.'' Once it received Ajax''s answer, the Stormfire didn''t waste any time as it made an offering. "You can help the cultivators instantly awaken a Divine me Rule?" Hearing that, Ajax was surprised and asked about it. Ajax thought that since the Stormfire was a Sentient me, it might have unlocked the secrets behind a Divine me Rule and would guide him slowly in awakening the Divine Falme Rule. However, he never expected that it could instantly awaken the Divine me Rule for the cultivators. ''Of course, I can''t do it regrly and could only help a cultivator awaken the Divine me Rule every 100 years; however, I don''t want to do that and haven''t helped anyone for thest 500 years.'' The Stormfire continued, ''However if you are willing to give me only 1000 Giant Fire Crystals, I will help you. What do you say?'' Seeing the surprised look on Ajax''s face, the Stormfire became even more confident that Ajax would ept its offer because which cultivator didn''t want a Divine Rule? A Divine Rule is the key to Ascending to the Heavenly Realms. Whether it was a human or a Dragon or a Demon¡­.everyone would fight to death if they can gain a Divine Rule. "10 Giant Fire Crystals." However, Ajax said that he would only pay 10 Giant Fire Crystals to awaken an instant Divine Rule. ''What? It looks like you are not interested in the deal.'' Hearing Ajax''s quoted price, the Stormfire became a little angry and said, ''Forget it. I will just help a royal descendant.'' ''Okay.'' Ajax replied with a smile as he shrugged his hands and focused on his body tempering without bothering to negotiate the price with the Stormfire. ''...'' Seeing that Ajax was not bothering to negotiate, the Stormfire became speechless because this was not what it expected. The Stormfire lost in its thoughts and as for what it was thinking, it was rted to what it should do to make Ajax interested in the deal again. After so many years, it finally found someone who could bring it some delicious food. As long as he continued to get such delicious food, the Stormfire no longer had to work very hard to separate the Dark Energy from the Darkfire Crystals to make Crude Fire Crystals. Not only would it make the Stormfire spend so much of its energy but it would also be a time taking process and after having a taste of the Giant Fire Crystal and learning that Ajax had lots of Giant Fire Crystals, it wanted to make more deals with Ajax. Time continued to pass as one hour passed by and it''s been around 10 hours since Ajax and others entered the me Chamber. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 8 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. ''There are still 16 hours left and I just need to break through two minor realms and one major realm. I can do it.'' While the Stormfire was lost in its thoughts, Ajax finally received a system notification regarding his breakthrough to the level 8 King realm, making him quite satisfied. ''Human, how about 100 Giant Fire Crystals?'' Seeing that Ajax had a breakthrough in his body tempering, the Stormfire used this opportunity to propose another deal. "As I said earlier, I can give not more than 10 Giant Fire Crystals." Ajax politely declined and thought about it for a moment before saying, "With the help of the Giant Fire Crystals, I can even cultivate a simple fire-type cultivator''sw to the Divine Rule. However, it just takes time. That''s the reason why I was willing to give 10 Giant Fire Crystals." "I feel even the 10 Giant Fire Crystals were costly as I can wait and slowly cultivate a Divine me with their help." That''s right! Since a mid-level Fire Crystal can help him increase the me Cultivator''s Laws and Soul, Ajax could easily upgrade thosews to peak emperor souls before upgrading them to Divine me Rule. ''Even though I don''t know how to upgrade a peak emperor cultivator''s soul into a Divine Rule, I will know it when I reach there.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he concluded his words, "If you are willing to help me awaken a Divine me Rule, I can give you 10 Giant Fire Crystals along with 3500 crystals I owe you." "Also, if you want more Giant Fire Crystals in the future, we can continue to make these secret deals in which you can give me Darkfire Crystals and I will give you Giant Fire Crystals." ''Really?'' Even though Ajax''s initial words made the Stormfire a little worried, it became excited when it heard hisst words. "Of course. We will have more secret deals like today in the future." Compared to Stormfire, Ajax would be benefiting a lot from the secret deals; however, Ajax was using his abilities like Merging and Diffusing which was priceless. ''Close your eyes and get ready to awaken your Divine me Rule.'' The Stormfire was excited after hearing Ajax''s words as it urged him and soon, the main Stormfire that was floating in the center moved towards Ajax. Chapter 1642 Divine Flame Rule: Stormfire ''Aargh'' As the Blue me moved towards Ajax, he felt an immense scorching pain along with the pain from being cut by hundreds of sharp storm des. Of course, since the Sentient mes are not allowed to kill someone, the Stormfire was being careful and tried its best to control its intensity to the minimum. Since its long fire tentacles were already covering Ajax, it could immediately sense whether Ajax could endure the pain or not. If it felt that Ajax could not endure it, it would lower the me intensity and wait until his body was tempered and adjusted before increasing the intensity once again. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 9 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the level 10 King Realm in his Body Cultivation. Even though they were separated by less than 12 steps, the Stormfire was careful while moving towards him and it took an entire hour to cover 10 steps and close to him. During this one hour, Ajax was able to break through two minor realms and finally reached level 10 King Realm Body Cultivator. However, that body tempering didn''t stop as it continued with Ajax starting to feel numb to the intense mes around him but still, with the passage of time, the pain returned. Time continued to pass as another two-three hours passed as Ajax was barely maintaining consciousness. Earlier, the Stormfire moved 10 steps in an hour; however, to cover thest two steps, it took three hours because it was careful as it didn''t want to identally kill Ajax. ''Kacha'' Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from Ajax''s body as he received the system notifications. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully breaking through to the Emperor Realm in body cultivation. ''Ding, The host has met one of the requirements for unlocking the Divine Body and upgrading his Regr Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. Please wait for a while before checking out the other requirements. ''Swoosh'' With the appearance of the system notifications, Ajax felt the scorching pain and the feeling of being cut by hidden storm des disappeared. At the same time, he felt that the Stormfire''s main body was actually touching his forehead but still, he didn''t feel any pain; instead, he feltfortable that he didn''t even check the system notifications as he enjoyed the feeling after going through more than half a day of hellish scorching pain. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully awakening the Divine me Rule: The Stormfire under the blessing of a Sentient me. ''Human, I will be waiting for my additional 10 Giant Fire Crystals.'' Ajax woke up from hisfortable feeling with the Stormfire''s weak voice and saw it was returning to its usual ce as it informed Ajax about their second deal''s payment. "Thank you." After waking up, Ajax briefly read the system notifications and was pleasantly surprised; however, before checking them thoroughly, he thanked the Sentient me. ''You have already developed resistance to me and could not temper your body with my intensity anymore.'' The weak voice continued, ''However if you want to continue pursuing your body cultivation further, you need to find other Sentient mes and undergo the body tempering with their intensity.'' ''Also, you can learn a Divine me Rule from each one of these Sentient mes and use the Giant Fire Crystals to trade for it.'' After thinking for a moment, the Stormfire said these words. Even though it would make the Stormfire get less Giant Fire Crystals, it hoped that Ajax would remember it and not forget about its existence. With Ajax''s strength, sooner orter, he would meet the other Sentient mes and the Stormfire wanted to have an advantage over the other Sentient mes. Thus, it tried to help Ajax as much as possible. "So, do you know where the other Sentient mes are? Other than you, I only know about the Jade Fire that was in the Great Jade Dragon World." Hearing about the Stormfire''s suggestions, Ajax became curious about the other Sentient mes and asked the Stormfire about the locations of the other mes. ''As far as I know, there are 10 Sentient mes in the entire Dragon Region and as for the other mes, I don''t know but I am sure the Human Region might have at least five Sentient mes.'' The Sentient mes muttered, ''As for the remaining, they might still be in the depths of the Dark Region, waiting to be found.'' ''So, there were around 15 Sentient mes in the Dragon and Human regionsbined.'' Ajax knew that all these Sentient mes were found in the Dark Region and the records of the ranking were also found in one of the Greater Darker Worlds. So, he was not surprised about it. "Can you tell me the location of the eight mes other than you and the Jade me?" Nodding his head, Ajax asked the Stormfire about the other mes. ''The mes I know that are in the Dragon Region are Frost Fire, Jade Fire, Sun Fire,.....Dragonheart me.'' ''Unlike me, all these nine mes are settled in Greater Dragon Worlds and you can easily guess the words they are in from their names because after they settle in a world for millennia, the entire world transforms just like how I transformed this world from a nameless world into Stormfire Wyvern World.'' ''Also, I have onest tip for you regarding the Divine Rules. By learning multiple Divine Rules, even though it would be difficult, you can merge them and make them stronger. At the same time, their awakening percentage will increase. That''s the reason why I asked the human to learn the Divine me Rules from the other Sentient mes in an instant.'' ''Anyway, I am a little tired and I can''t speak anymore.'' After exining things to him and even giving tips, the Stormfire returned to its original ce and stopped speaking with him anymore. ''What? I can merge the Divine Rules?'' Chapter 1643 [Bonus ] Exchange Section ''What? I can merge the Divine Rules?'' When Ajax heard thest tip of the Stormfire, he was shocked for a moment and soon, he became excited. Even though he could only merge the Divine Rules belonging to simr elements, it was still a heaven-defying thing because once the Divine Rule reached 100 percent, the cultivator could summon the Ascending Tribtions to be a Divine Being. ''Not only can I make my Divine Rules more powerful but I can also increase the awakening percentage. With this, I am sure that fully awakening my Divine Rules won''t take much time.'' When he thought about how Ajax could instantlyprehend the cultivator''sws from the Law stones and could use Jade Energy and the other resources to upgrade them, Ajax felt that fully awakening his Divine Rules won''t be as hard as he thought it would be. "Sir Stormfire, you are a good me. I will continue toe and visit you often." With a slight smile, Ajax bowed to the Stormfire before it helped Ajax quietly return to the Special Chambers in the Inner Section. ''I think it''s time I leave the me Chamber.'' Even though he could still stay for nearly 12 hours, the Stormfire won''t help temper his body anymore. Therefore, Ajax decided to leave the me Chamber and check the changes in his body along with his new Divine me Rule after returning to his world. ''It looks like they are still undergoing body tempering.'' Ajax looked at the light from the other special chambers and thought about Draco and others before moving towards the Exchange Section of the me Chamber. Even though some unexpected things happened in the me Chamber, it didn''t change some of his ns and one of those ns was to spend the Darkfire Crystals that were supposed to be spent in the me Chamber. "Young Master, you already finished your body tempering!" The humanoid Wyvern guard who guided Ajax and others was surprised to see Ajax walk out of the Special Chamber. ''As expected of humans¡­they can''t even endure for 12 hours.'' Of course, he only thought in his head as the guard didn''t dare to say this out loud. "I am done with the Body Tempering." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "Take me to the Exchange Section." While saying that, he tossed a low-level Darkfire Crystal at the guard. "Yes, young master." Seeing that, the guard became excited as he hurriedly caught and guided Ajax to the Exchange Section of the me Chamber. Contrary to Ajax''s expectation, the Exchange Section was not crowded; instead, it was empty. "Big Brother, give me the Item Scroll." As soon as they reached the Exchange Section, the guard asked azy wyvern that was in charge of the Exchange Section and brought an ancient scroll for Ajax. "Young master, you can check the items and their price from the scroll." After informing it, the guard gave the scroll and respectfully stood aside. As for Ajax, he nodded his head and opened to scroll to see different categories like Weapons, Cultivation Resources, Artifacts and Pills. ''There are no Mythical Grade Weapons or Artifacts. So, these weapons and artifacts are useless to me.'' ''As for the Cultivation Resources, there are only high-grade spirit stones; however, I don''t need them unless they are Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.'' Ajax was curious about each category and checked them one by one and rejected the three categories beforending his gaze on thest category. ''I wonder whether they kept any King Grade pill recipes.'' As a peak Alchemy King, Ajax could refine any King Grade Pills and wanted to find some useful pill recipes like the Bloodline Awakening Pills. As for the pills, he was not interested in many pills but still, Ajax never knew as he might find some interesting pills. ¡­. Pills 1) Energy Dispelling Pills x 10 = 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Essence Gathering Pills x 100 = 10 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Spirit Nourishing Pill x 10 = 100 low-level Darkfire Crystals. . . . . Pill Recipes 1) Energy Dispelling Pill Recipe (King Grade) = 10 High-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Essence Gathering Pill Recipe (King Grade) = 1 High-level Darkfire Crystal. 3) Spirit Nourishing Recipe (King Grade) = 100 High-level Darkfire Crystals. . . . Pill Ingredients Sets 1) Energy Dispelling Pill Set x 10 = 100 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Essence Gathering Pill Set x 10 = 100 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Spirit Nourishing Pill Set x 10 = 100 mid-level Darkfire Crystals. . . . In the Pills category, there are three sub-sections and each item had the price beside it. ''Since I am just here to spend the Darkfire Crystals, I will just buy the Pill Recipe.'' Even though the Spirit Nourishing Pill recipe was not bad, Ajax could not buy it as he didn''t have High-level Darkfire Crystals¡­at least from the perspective of others. Moreover, its effect was not great and it could only be used by living beings with physical bodies. As for Ajax, his Spirit Consciousness was much stronger and eating those pills won''t be of much help to him. Therefore, in the end, Ajax bought some Energy Dispelling Pills and its Recipe along with 100 sets of ingredients. ''As for refining them, I will just refine them in the Dark Region while my summons kills the Darkfire Wraiths in the Dark Worlds.'' This was what he thought in his head as he soon exchanged with a Special High-level Darkfire Crystal, 500 mid-level Darkfire Crystals along with 9000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. Seeing that Ajax took out a Special High-level Darkfire Crystal the wyvern in charge of the Exchange Section was shocked and carefully took it. "Let''s go." Since he hadpleted what he hade from, Ajax left with the guard and after giving another low-level Darkfire Crystal to the guard, Ajax left the me Chamber. "Old Nine, is Prince Dakon still in seclusion? I am nning to leave the world. Can you inform him about it?" He didn''t go to his Royal Guest Pce; instead, he went to inform Prince Dakon. "Ajax, you came at the right time." Before the old servant could say anything, Prince Dakon called Ajax, "Come in. I have something to say to you." Chapter 1644 A Mission From Prince Dakon In Prince Dakon''s Pce, "Ajax, I want a favour from you regarding the exploration of the Dark Region." Prince Dakon was serious when said these words as he continued, "Of course, it will only be Normal Dark Worlds. Moreover, they are already explored; however, the problem is¡­" "Are those Normal Dark Worlds simr to World No. 1021?" Before Prince Dakon could finish his words, Ajax finished what Prince Dakon was trying to say. "Yes." Prince Dakon was not surprised at how fast Ajax was able to guess what he was about to say and nodded his head. "In a month, a dozen young geniuses from the Greater Dragon Worlds will be entering the Dark Region through the Teleportation Circle in this world." Soon, Prince Dakon started exining, "So, I want you to enter with the Mighty Wyvern Squad and kill the DarkWraith Leaders and the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths in the 15 Normal Dark Worlds." "In short, I have to do what I did in World No. 1021." Ajax raised his brows for a moment; however, he didn''t reply to his answer yet. ''I wanted to enter the Dark Region; however, I want to extract the World Cores along with the Darkfire Crystals. But, now, I can''t destroy them as they will be watching those worlds very closely.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he waited to hear what else Prince Dakon would be saying. "Of course, you will be rewarded for every Normal Dark World you clear. If you can clear all these worlds within a month, I will give you a Mythical Grade Weapon, Three Teleportation Tokens to Greater Dragon Worlds and all the Darkfire Crystals that you collect in the world will solely belong to you and your squad." Prince Dakon thought about it for a moment and added, "Those two Greater Dragon Worlds have three Sentient mes and I will help you undergo the body tempering with those mes when you are ready for them." "What? You will help me with the body tempering with three Sentient mes?" Ajax was surprised and after thinking for a moment, he added, "I want ess toe to this world at any time then." That''s right! After hearing the rewards, Ajax decided to agree to the mission of clearing the Darkfire Wraiths because of the three Teleportation Tokens that could give him ess to the three Sentient mes. "Once youplete the mission, I will give you a special title along with a Special Teleportation Token that can freely enter and exit the Stormfire Wyvern World." Prince Dakon had already thought about it as he tossed three normal teleportation tokens at Ajax. "For now, I can only give you the normal teleportation tokens which are quite simr to the one you used to enter this world." After exining that, Prince Dakon asked, "What do you say now? With your mid-level Emperor Realm Devourer Eagle King, you canplete the mission easily right?" "I will try my best." Since there are still 20-plus days left for him to enter the Floating Ind, Ajax decided toplete that mission. "Great." Prince Dakon became happy as he said, "However, you should not say anything about this mission to others and it should remain a secret." The reason why Prince Dakon thought Ajax was the right person for this mission was because he didn''t want to alert the enemy by sending the Royal Exploration Squads into the Dark Region. Moreover, they had already learned that Ajax was capable of killing 50 high-level Darkfire Wraiths along with a Darkfire Wraith Leader. Also, Prince Dakon had already thought of a good reason why the Mighty Wyvern Squad could enter the Dark Region daily and not have the ''three-month break'' restriction on them. "Also, I think you are nning to return to your world, right? Give this Communication Talisman to your master." Soon, Ajax received a purple-coloured talisman withplicated runes and markings on it which he stored right away before asking, "I can kill the Darkfire Wraith Leaders; however, you do know how they are capable of merging the low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths into High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, right?" "We know." It was the old servant who spoke this time as he answered, "Young Master Ajax, you can just forget what Prince Dakon said and kill all the Darkfire Wraiths in the world. ording to the records, these Normal Dark Worlds could resurrect around 10000 low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths after one day." "What? They will be resurrected?" Ajax was surprised to hear that. "That''s right! How did I forget about that?" Prince Dakon shook his head and continued, "Actually, it depends on the Dark Worlds. Some Normal Dark Worlds could resurrect 100,000 low-level Darkfire Wraiths along with a couple of mid-level Darkfire Wraiths and some could only resurrect 10000 low-level Darkfire Wraiths." "After that, every now and then, new Darkfire Wraiths would slowly appear; however, it will take 100 days for a High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith to be born in these explored Normal Dark Worlds. That''s why we send our Royal Exploration Squads every three months to clear those High-level ones." "However, we can''t do the same now for some reason. I hope you can help me with this." With a bitter smile on his face, Prince Dakon shook his head. "Don''t worry, Uncle Dakon. I will try my best and clear all the Darkfire Wraiths in those 15 Explored Normal Dark Worlds." Ajax was grateful to Prince Dakon for letting him undergo the Body Tempering with the Sentient me: Stormfire and this trip resulted in huge gains for him. Moreover, the rewards for this mission were too great to reject. Adding all these things, Ajax said those words and decided to help Prince Dakon. "You must have just finished the body tempering. You can return to your world ande back as soon as possible to start your mission." Soon, Ajax left Prince Dakon''s pce. "Old Nine, is it alright for not mentioning anything about those explored worlds being destroyed? What if the world exploded while his squad was in the world?" Seeing Ajax leave, Prince Dakon asked the old servant with a troubled expression. Chapter 1645 Malgazars Preparations "Prince Dakon, we didn''t know the exact reason why those worlds exploded. Moreover, the training date for those princes ising closer. So, we don''t have any other chance than using Ajax and those talented rogue cultivators." The old servant shook his head and convinced Prince Darkon, "Let''s just hope that nothing goes wrong and even if it goes wrong, it should happen when Ajax and others enter." "At least then, we have a good and official reason to stop the event." Prince Dakon steeled his heart and nodded his head while thinking, "Let''s hope nothing goes wrong." After their serious investigation and torture, Prince Dakon and his old servant found out a few things from the traitors. The traitors received handsome rewards from the Fire Dragon Emperor from the Greater Fire Dragon World and nted some ck-coloured crystals in the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to the Stormfire Wyvern World. Even though these traitors didn''t know any things other than getting paid to nt those crystals in the Dark Worlds, Prince Dakon and the old servant knew what the Fire Dragon Emperor was nning. He wanted something to happen to the princes who would be entering the Stormfire Wyvern World''s Explored Dark Worlds. The more princes die, the faster the Fire Dragon Emperor''s n to get his hands on the Stormfire that was in the Stormfire Wyvern World. "That b*stard always looked down on us and hated us for having a Sentient me like Stormfire and now, he was even willing to kill the Princes of the Dragonheart Society to take it." Prince Dakon mmed the table beside him and cursed the Fire Dragon Emperor. "Prince Dakon, isn''t it better for us to inform the Dragonheart Society about the evil ns of the Fire Dragon Emperor?" The old servant suggested after some hesitation. "Old Nine, you think this Dragonheart Society will help us if he reveals that b*stard''s evil ns?" Prince Dakon shook his head as he continued, "Since you never attended the meeting with the Dragonheart Society, you don''t know those b*stards." "Just like the Fire Dragon Emperor, they are all waiting for an opportunity to take our Stormfire and if he say about Fire Dragon Emperor''s evil ns, he would be severely punished; however, it would also give them an opportunity to take our Stormfire and kick us out of the Dragonheart Society." Prince Dakon revealed the bitter reality of the so-called Dragonheart Society, "Unlike the Fire Dragon Emperor, the others are still upright and won''t use any underhanded methods to take over our Sentient me." "A bunch of b*stards that received so much help from my Great Grandfather in building the me Chambers for their Sentient mes and now, they started coveting his inheritance left to us." Thinking about the members of the Dragonheart Society, Prince Dakon was really angry. "Is there nothing we can do about it, Prince Dakon?" The old servant has experienced many things and he was not surprised by the Dragonheart Society; instead, he asked what they could do now. "For now, the uing event should bepleted and Fatheres out of his seclusion as soon as possible with good news." Prince Dakon sighed as he thought about his father whom he hadst seen a century back. "Once, His Majestyes out, we can upgrade our Normal Dragon World into Greater Dragon World. At that time, no one would look down on us anymore." The main reason why the Stormfire Wyvern Worlds was not liked by the other members of the Dragonheart Society was because it was just a Normal Dragon World and as for the others, they were Emperors of the Greater Dragon Worlds. "If not for him instructing me not to upgrade this world, I would have long turned it into a Greater Dragon World but the father must have a reason behind it." Prince Dakon and his old servant continued to discuss all kinds of topics rted to their world. ¡­.. In Greater Fire Dragon World, "Collect every single valuable thing in this world." Sitting on his throne, the Fire Dragon Emperor Malgazar ordered his subordinates to bring all the valuable things in the entire world. "Master, even if we sell all the valuable things in the entire world, we can only send around 1000 members from our world. It is ording to the estimated 100 times fees set by the Celestial Dawn Sect." An old humanoid fire dragon informed Malgazar about his calctions. "Only 1000 members? It''s too low. This is a one-in-a-million opportunity for us. As long as our Fire Dragons do well and bring back the resources, our world might join the Dragonheart Society even with the Stormfire." Thinking about it made Malgazar as he asked the old dragon, "What can we do to increase the number of Fire Dragons we can send into the Celestial Dawn Realm?" "Master, I have already calcted the weapons, trump cards and other life-saving resources for these 1000 members. We can increase the slot if we can cut down the cost on any of those things." The old servant informed Malgazar about it; however, the Fire Dragon Emperor instantly rejected that suggestion because if his Fire Dragon Men can''t survive and return home, all the resources he will be spending would be wasted. "If only I didn''t spend so many resources to take down the Stormfire Wyvern World, I could have easily sent another 100 men." ... In a Normal Dwarf World, ''Swoosh'' A portal opened as Ajax walked out of it with the Teleportation Token that his master, Mostror, gave to him. ''Swiish'' As soon as he returned to the Normal Dwarf World, the Teleportation Token turned into nothing. A single normal Teleportation Token can let you enter a world connected to that token and after returning, it would disappear. Without wasting any time, Ajax flew into his pce, entered his room, freshened up and then sat on the bed with an excited look on his face. ''It''s finally time to take a look at my gains from the trip to the Stormfire Wyvern World.'' After settling in hisfortable bed, Ajax was all set to check his gains. Chapter 1646 [Bonus ] Divine Body Cultivation (1) ''Divine Rules.'' The first thing that Ajax wanted to check was none other than his third divine rule. ''Ding, 1) Divine Thunder Rule (1 percent) (Unupgradable). 2) Divine Demonic Rule (0.01 percent) (Unupgradable). 3) Divine me Rule (0.01 percent) (Upgradable). Soon, the list of his Divine Rules appeared in front of Ajax as he focused on the Divine me Rule. Unlike the first two Divine Rules, his new Divine Rule can be upgraded; however, Ajax was not in a hurry as he already knew the reason why he could upgrade it. Instead, he checked the information on his new Divine Rule. ''Ding, Divine me Rule: The cultivator has 100 percent fire resistance upon activation and no normal fire-elemental attacks could deal any damage to the cultivator. Skill: Stormfire: When the Divine me Rule is activated, the cultivator can create a huge fiery tornado to burn everything around him without differentiating between a friend or a foe. Duration: 100 seconds. Cooldown: One month. The information of the Divine me Rule appeared in front of him and it had the same cooldown as the Divine Demon Rule; however, it has an additional skill like Divine Thunder Rule despite being awakened only 0.01 percent. What''s more, Ajax could activate it for 100 seconds which was much higher than what Ajax had thought. For his Divine Thunder which had awakened 1 percent, Ajax could only hold out for two minutes and for this Divine me Rule which was awakened only by 0.1 percent, Ajax could hold out for more than one minute. ''Maybe it was because of the body tempering with the Stormfire.'' This was the only reason that Ajax could think of as he stopped thinking after a moment. ''It looks like I can unlock another new skill under Divine me when I increase the awakening percentage.'' In the past, when Ajax was listening about Divine Rules from the system, he learned that more and more skills will be unlocked whenever the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules was increased. Since Ajax could upgrade it, he was sure that he would unlock at least one more skill. ''Also, the system was informing me of bing a Divine Body Cultivator and pursuing Divine Body Cultivation.'' Before upgrading the Divine me Rule, Ajax still had some things to do and wanted to wrap them up before focusing on the upgrade. For now, Ajax wanted to check out the Divine Body Cultivation. ''Ding, The requirements to unlock the Divine body Cultivation are: 1) Body tempering with at least three Sentient mes. 2) Spend one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper the host''s body to officially pursue the Divine Body Cultivation. 3) One million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones each for five different elements. (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal). Just as he thought about Divine Body Cultivation, the system sent the requirements to unlock his Divine Body Cultivation. ''All three requirements are not very difficult; however, they are just time-consuming.'' After reading the three requirements carefully, Ajax muttered to himself. Since Prince Dakon has promised to help him gain the three Teleportation Tokens to the worlds that have the Sentient mes, it was not a problem; however, Ajax didn''t know what types of terms and conditions he had to fulfil to gain ess to undergo Body Tempering with those mes. Even though his master said that he could undergo Body Tempering with the Stormfire, Prince Dakon set a condition of collecting the 100 Crystals. So, no matter how much Prince Dakon helped him, the Dragons in those three Greater Dragon Worlds would definitely set their own conditions before he could gain ess to their me Chambers. As for one million units of Divine Essence of Nature, it would take two full years of secluded cultivation to umte. However, since his Divine Spirit Consciousness could only hold 100 units, Ajax had to take a break every time his Divine Spirit Consciousness was filled to temper his body with it. In short, it would take at least three years toplete that process and Ajax doubted whether he could be that patient. Coming to thest requirement, it could be considered as the easiest one but still, it would take time for Ajax in collecting them because the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones are the top-level cultivation resources for the Emperor Realm Cultivators. ''With the help of Trader''s Realm, I can easily auction off the World Cores for the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. But, I don''t think anyone can easily take out one million of them.'' Since the other two requirements take time, Ajax didn''t mind waiting for a few years to slowly umte the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. ''System, tell me the benefits of bing a Divine Body Cultivator?'' As Ajax had already decided to pursue Body Cultivation to increase his duration while using the Divine Rules, Ajax thought it wouldn''t be a bad idea to enhance his Normal Body Cultivation to Divine Body Cultivation. However, what he wanted was to know the benefits of following that cultivation because it gives him good motivation. ''Ding, There are many benefits to bing a Divine Body Cultivator. They are: 1) A Divine Body Cultivator''s physical powers will be ten times more powerful than the regr Body Cultivator. Hence, the duration of keeping the Divin Rule activated would directly increase by 10 times. 2) His life span doubles and even if he can''t ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm, he could live for 20000 years as long as he bes the peak Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator. 3) If a peak Emperor Realm Cultivator undergoes the tribtion and if he as a) a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, his sess rate increased by 5 percent. b) a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, his sess rate increased by 10 percent. c) a High-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, his sess rate increased by 15 percent. d) a peak Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, his sess rate increased by 25 percent. Chapter 1647 Divine Body Cultivation (2) As soon as Ajax asked about the benefits of being a Divine Body Cutivator, the system disyed three of them and each one of them could make any cultivator go crazy. ''Even though I expected that a Divine Body Cultivator would be stronger than a Regr Body Cultivator, I didn''t expect it to be 10 times more powerful.'' Suppressing his excitement regarding the benefits of the Divine Body Cultivation, Ajax started analyzing them one by one. ''Among the three benefits, the second benefit is useless for me as I am confident in ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm before I turn 100 years old at maximum.'' A peak Emperor Realm Cultivator could only live for 10000 years without using any external resources to prolong their life and unless they ascend, they will die. However, with the help of this Divine Body Cultivation, even without any of those life-prolonging treasures, they could live for 20000 years. Which could be considered a great thing for those old monsters who were one step away from entering their graves. ''I wonder whether Master can unlock the Divine Body Cultivation and increase his lifespan and at the same time, increase his chances of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' Even though he didn''t know his master''s exact age or the exact progress on his ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm, Ajax could tell that his master''s chances of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm were not high. Therefore, the first thing Ajax thought after seeing was that the Divine Body Cultivation could increase the lifespan of the cultivators, he thought, ''I wonder whether I can help Master be a Divine Body Cultivator.'' With his master''s connections, Ajax believed that he could umte all those resources in a few years and then, Ajax could help his master. ''Anyway, let''s not think about it. I will just ask the Master about his chances of ascending and age before deciding what to do.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax looked at the third benefit which could be considered as the most important benefit that any cultivator could go crazy about. ''At the peak of the Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation, I can easily ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' Even though it was only 25 percent, for Ajax, it could make things very easy for Ajax who was already confident in ascending to the Divine Human Realm. ''Ding, The host can use the same requirements to unlock the Divine Body Cultivation for others. Note: The pre-condition is, they have to be an Emperor Realm Regr Body Cultivator just like the host. As Ajax nodded his head with great satisfaction with the benefits gained from the Divine Body Cultivation, he received a system notification which made him even more excited. ''With this, I can finally help my master.'' After that, Ajax thought, ''Once I take my revenge and revive Snow, I will spend my entire time on the Floating Ind tempering my body with the Divine Essence of Nature to fulfil the second requirement for bing a Divine Body Cultivator.'' Since seven days in the outside world are equivalent to seven years, Ajax thought he could easily temper his body with one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''At the same time, I should increase my Divine Spirit Consciousness as much as possible so that once Ie out, I can even help my Master and Grandpa Boron in bing the Divine Body Cultivators.'' Even though there were many young cultivators Ajax wanted to help, he knew they had enough time and could work hard. However, Mostror and Boron are no longer young and need some external help. The so-called external help was Ajax who could finally repay them for the help he received from them. ''The first requirement will be taken care of with the help of Prince Dakon and the second one can be taken care of after I enter the Floating Ind.'' Ajax straightened his thoughts on what he had to do, ''As for the third requirement, I have to enter the Trader''s Realm to collect 5 million supreme-grade spirit stones.'' Once he checked all his gains from the Stormfire Wyvern Worlds, Ajax was nning to enter the Trader''s Realm to check how much nt Essence was collected by the [Special Notice Service]. Therefore, he decided to either put a notice for that Supreme Grade Spirit Stones or go with the auction houses¡­ especially the auction in the high-level Trader''s Realm. ''Let''s see what I have to do after I enter the Trader''s Realm.'' After settling all the requirements to unlock the Divine Body Cultivation, Ajax asked the system with suppressed excitement, ''System, show me all the Darkfire Crystals I have on me, right now.'' The biggest gain that Ajax gained from the Stormfire Wyvern was not awakening a Divine Rule directly. Instead, it was the huge number of purified Darkfire Crystals from the Core Section of the me Chamber. ''Ding, The Darkfire Crystals in the host''s inventory are: 1) 100 million low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) 50 million mid-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) 10 million High-level Darkfire Crystals. 4) 4 Giant Darkfire Crystals. Note: All of these Darkfire Crystals are free of Evil Energy. ''Ding, 1) 3500 Giant Dark Crystals (Unrefined). Soon, the list of Darkfire Crystals and Dark Crystals appeared in front of Ajax which made him clench his fists in excitement. Even after destroying two Normal Dark Worlds and six Smaller Dark Worlds, Leo was only able to get 10 percent of what he got from the Core Section of the me Chamber. What''s more, all those crystals were refined and no longer had to refine them and could directly merge them, diffuse them and use them. ''Before I merge all these crystals into Giant Darkfire Crystals, I will see how much a Giant Fire Crystal can increase the awakening percent of the Divine me Rule.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax summoned four Giant Darkfire Crystals and he merged sixty High-level Darkfire Crystals into six Giant Darkfire Crystals before diffusing them. ''Ding, The host diffused 10 purified Giant Darkfire Crystals into 7 Giant Dark Crystals and 3 Giant Fire Crystals. ''Use one Giant Fire Crystal on my Divine me Rule.'' Chapter 1648 Purification Fire ''Use one Giant Fire Crystal on my Divine me Rule.'' As soon as he got three Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly asked the system to use them. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, one of the Giant Fire Crystals in Ajax''s hand shone brightly as a few tiny red-coloured light dots entered Ajax''s body. ''Kacha'' It didn''t take much time for the cracks to appear on that shining Giant Fire Crystal and what happened next was Ajax received a system notification. ''Ding, The host used a Giant Fire Crystal on his Divine me Rule and increased the awakening percentage to 5. ''It directly jumped from 0.01 percent to five percent. As expected of using the Giant Fire Crystal for the first time.'' After using the Giant Dark Crystals and Giant Fire Crystals on his Elemental Spirits, Ajax had a rough understanding of the effectiveness of these Giant Crystals. The starting Giant Crystals would be very useful to a cultivator or an Elemental Spirit; however, if one keeps using them, the efficiency decreases which is the same for most of the cultivation resources. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Divine me Rule (10 percent). Duration: 100 (+10) seconds. Cooldown: One month. ''The Duration increased by 10 seconds; however, there is no change in the cooldown.'' The first thing that Ajax checked after increasing the awakening percent to 5 percent was to check the duration and the cooldown. Even though Ajax expected more, he didn''t think much about it as he muttered, ''There is no new skill unlocked. I wonder whether I have to awaken at least 10 percent to see some good changes in the Divine me Rule?'' Therefore, he thought to increase the awakening percent and see some good changes in the Divine me Rule. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he thought about it, the remaining two Giant Fire Crystals in Ajax''s hand shone with a bright light and soon, turned into dust. ''Ding, The host used two Giant Fire Crystal on his Divine me Rule and increased the awakening percentage to 10 percent. ''Ding, After activating the Divine me Rule, the intensity released by the mes generated by his Divine me Rule with exterminate even evil energy. ''Ding, Please name the newly unlocked effect under the Divine me Rule. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared as Ajax felt some mysterious knowledge enter his head rting to the Divine me Rule. ''Not a skill but an effect?'' That''s right! It unlocked an effect instead of skill but still, Ajax was excited about it because he could make good use of it. ''Even though all the Darkfire Crystals I get from the Stormfire are refined, I will be getting a huge number of Darkfire Crystals whenever I enter the Dark Region.'' After learning how useful the Darkfire Crystals are, how could Ajax stop himself from entering the Dark Region? Moreover, he would be entering 15 Normal Dark Worlds to help Prince Dakon and would be collecting arge number of Darkfire Crystals. Hence, after collecting them all, he could just activate his Divine me Rule and refine them in an instant. ''Moreover, I can''t ask the Stormfire to help me with the refinement of these Darkfire Crystals every time.'' In short, even though it was not a useful effect inbat, it was very useful for Ajax. ''As for the name for this effect, I will call it [Purification me].'' Ajax didn''t think much as he gave a name for the newly unlocked effect. ''Let''s increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule as much as possible.'' Ajax was curious about what would happen to a Divine me Rule when upgraded to 100 percent. Of course, Ajax knew that it wouldn''t be as easy as he thought it would be. Nevertheless, Ajax wanted to try it as he was also curious about the skills that will be unlocked along with the awakening percent of the Divine me Rule. Without wasting any time, Ajax merged all high-level Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, The host used Normal Merge and merged 10 million high-level Darkfire Crystals into one million Giant Darkfire Crystals. ''Ding, One million Giant Darkfire Crystals are diffused into 300000 Giant Fire Crystals and 700000 Giant Dark Crystals. ''Use the Giant Fire Crystals.'' Looking at the 300,000 Giant Fire Crystals in his inventory, Ajax felt that he became the richest cultivator in the world as he ordered the system to upgrade the Divine me Rule to 20 percent. ''Ding, The host used five Giant Fire Crystals on his Divine me Rule and increased the awakening percentage by 5. ''Ding, The host used 50 Giant Fire Crystals on his Divine me Rule and increased the awakening percentage by another 5 percent reaching 20 percent. ''Ding, A new skill [Heavenly Ignition] has been unlocked under the Divine me Rule. As the awakening percentage rose, the consumption of the Giant Fire Crystals also increased. Even though Ajax had 300,000 Giant Fire Crystals, he didn''t ask the system to use them all to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule to the maximum. It was because Ajax wanted to see the consumption rate of the Giant Fire Crystals with the increase in the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. ''From 10.1 to 15 percent, one Giant Fire Crystal was consumed for every one percent increment in the awakening whereas it before 10 Giant Fire Crystals for every one percent increment from 15.1 to 20 percent.'' As expected, he got a good understanding of the consumption rate of the Giant Fire Crystals. ''What about the 20.1 to 25 percent? Will it be 100 Giant Fire Crystals for every one percent increment? I can still afford it.'' Since he had 300,000 Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax thought he should continue to increase it by another 10 or 20 percent to unlock more new effects and skills. ''Even if I spend 200,000 Giant Fire Crystals, I can use the remaining 100,000 Giant Fire Crystals on my Elemental Spirits and Contracted Spirit Beasts.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax gave an order to the system to increase the awakening percentage to 25 percent. Chapter 1649 [Bonus ] Divine Spirit Cultivation ''Ding, The host can''t increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. ''Ding, With the host''s current cultivation of the low-level Emperor Realm, the maximum awakening of any Divine Rule can''t exceed more than 20 percent. ''Ding, Please break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm to further increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head saying that he could not increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. ''I was thinking that everything was going so easily and finally herees an obstruction.'' Ajax was only surprised for a moment before shaking his head in understanding and asked the system, ''System, can you show the breakthrough requirements for the mid-level Emperor Realm cultivation at least now?'' ''Ding, The host has met three of the requirements to unlock the Divine Spirit Cultivation by awakening a Divine Rule to 20 percent at the cultivation of the low-level Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The other two satisfied requirements are: 1) Divine Spirit Consciousness. 2) Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, As long as the hostpletes the other requirements, his Regr Spirit Cultivation will turn into Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''I was thinking about asking the system whether there was a Divine Spirit Cultivation and now it is informing me that I can unlock it just like how I can turn my normal body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation.'' Looking at the system notifications, Ajax was not shocked; instead, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he waited for the other requirements to convert his Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Ding, The requirements for bing a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Spirit Cultivator are: 1) Divine Spirit Consciousness with 1000 units of Capacity. 2) Consume a Divine Grade consumable fruit. 3) One Divine World Core. ''Ding, The requirements for bing a mid-level Emperor Realm Spirit Cultivator are: 1) 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. 2) Consume a Mythical Grade consumable fruit. 3) One Greater World Core or Lower Grade World Core. Along with the requirements for Divine Spirit Cultivation, the system even sent the requirements for normal spirit cultivation. However, Ajax didn''t bother about normal spirit cultivation; instead, he focused on Divine Spirit Cultivation because the benefits would be much better.I think you should take a look at ''The first requirement is alright and I was even nning to do it even if it was not for the requirement.'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the second and third requirements. ''As far as I know, the highest grade of any consumable fruit that was auctioned in the Trader''s Realm was Mythcial Grade. So, I don''t think it will be an easy task to find a Divine Grade fruit.'' Next, Ajax looked at the third requirement, ''What is this Divine World Core? A grade higher than Greater World Core?'' As far as Ajax knows, there were only three grades of worlds. They are Smaller, Normal and Greater and the world cores from these worlds have the simr grade. ''It looks like I have to merge 10 Greater World Cores to see whether I can get a Divine World Core.'' Seeing that the system didn''t exin to him anything about the Divine World Core, Ajax could only guess that it was the world core that can be obtained from merging 10 Greater World Cores. ''Once Wingo takes full control of the Golden Demon Territory, there would be a lot of worlds for me to take the world cores from.'' ''However, I need world cores to upgrade the Divine Rules like Thunder and Demon. It looks like once I return from the Floating Ind, I should enter deep into the Dark Region and directly destroy the Greater Dark Worlds.'' Since Wingo was his subordinate, he could not just destroy all the Greater Demon Worlds under him because it would weaken him and the entire Demon Race. Once that happened, Ajax didn''t know much about the Dragon Region, but he was very confident that the top cultivators in the human region won''t hold themselves back anymore and conquer the entire Demon Region. Therefore, Ajax thought about it and the best option for him was to enter a little deep into the Dark Region and collect as many Dark World Cores as he wanted without any worries. ''So, even the third requirement was not a problem. The only problem is the second requirement.'' Ajax started thinking about it and got some ideas; however, he was not sure whether they could work or not. ''Anyway, I should give it a try and if I am lucky, I can obtain a Divine Fruit.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax decided to do it; however, in the next second, he suddenly realized something. ''However, if I sessfully be a Divine Spirit Cultivator, my cultivation would still be at a low-level Emperor Realm, right?'' Ajax asked the system about his doubt ''Ding, Yes; however, the limit of awakening the Divine Rules will be increased to 30 percent. The system could tell what Ajax was nning to ask, hence, it answered him. ''Even though 30 percent won''t be much, since there would be other benefits for pursuing Divine Spirit Cultivation, I can only endure andplete those three requirements to convert my spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Just like how bing a Divine Body Cultivator has so many benefits, Ajax could tell there would be some good benefits to bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator. ''Ding, There are many benefits to bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator. They are: 1) A Divine Spirit Cultivator''s battle powers will be ten times more powerful than the regr Spirit Cultivator. 2) A Divine Spirit Cultivator''s Soul bes indestructible and could live on forever by reincarnation (Easy) or by constructing a new body (Hard). 3) All the Elemental Spirits both official and unofficial ones, will follow the Divine Cultivator''s Soul and enter into a Hibernation until they are provided with enough Divine Essence of Nature. Note: During the reincarnation or the creation of a new body If the new body gets killed before he could reach King Realm, the soul will perish. Chapter 1650 [Heavenly Ignition] As soon as Ajax thought of the benefits of bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator, the system showed him the benefits. The first benefit remained the same as the Divine Body Cultivator; however, when he saw the second and third benefits of being a Divine Spirit Cultivator, Ajax had only one thought in his head. ''I should be a Divine Spirit Cutlviator at any cost.'' Even though Ajax was confident in his skills, in this universe, anything can happen. Once a cultivator reaches the King''s Realm, he could barely form his soul to escape from his body and this ability bes more powerful after reaching the Emperor''s Realm. However, if the cultivator was not fast enough, his soul will be destroyed along with his physical body and even if it escaped, it would suffer some huge damage, making it almost impossible to reincarnate. The only thing that the soul could do was find something that could store it and at the same time, nourish it; otherwise, the soul will eventually dissipate into nothingness just like how Snow died. Nevertheless, the system was able to collect the tiny soul particles belonging to Snow and stored them for Ajax to revive her with a time limit of three months. ''The universe is very dangerous and having something like an indestructible Soul was like having a second life.'' Therefore, Ajax felt that having an Indestructible Soul waspulsory for him. Moreover, if one was not worried about dying during the ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm, their chances of forming inner demons were very low. ''In short, even though the system didn''t mention anything about increasing the sess rate of Ascending, I can tell that it would greatly help the cultivator to go all out during the ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax also nned to fulfil those requirements. ''Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation. With these two, not only can I be more powerful but I can also increase my chances of survival and sess rate during the ascending process.'' Ajax clenched his fists as he was determined to try his best to fulfil all those requirements as soon as possible. ''Since I can''t increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule, I will just check the changes in it.'' Earlier, Ajax was nning to check the changes in the Divine me Rule after increasing its awakening percent to the maximum. However, due to his cultivation, he could not increase the awakening percent after 20 percent. Hence, he could finally check the changes in the Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Divine me Rule (20 percent). 1) Basic Effect: 1) The cultivator has 100 percent fire resistance upon activation and no normal fire-elemental attacks could deal any damage to the cultivator. 2) All Fire Attacks will deal 20 percent additional damage and the damage received from Divine me Rules and the skills rted to them will be decreased by 20 percent. 2) Purification Fire: The me intensity released by the cultivation after activating the Divine me Rule will burn all the evil energy around him. Skills: Stormfire, Heavenly Ignition. Stormfire: When the Divine me Rule is activated, the cultivator can create a huge fiery tornado to burn everything around him without differentiating between a friend or a foe. Heavenly Ignition: The cultivator can ignite their body with mes, granting enhanced physical abilities, increased speed, and strength two times for 20 minutes.I think you should take a look at Cooldown for Skill: One day. Duration: Five Minutes. Cooldown: One Week. Soon, the information about the Divine me Rule appeared in front of Ajax. ''Heavenly Ignition is a good skill.'' Even though the enhancement was only two times, with the basic effect of the Divine me Rule, his attacks would deal 20 percent additional damage. Under his Divine me Rule, he had two effects and two skills that could make him go against the peak emperor realm who have Divine Rules. ''The duration for keeping the Divine me Rule activated increased from 110 seconds to 300 seconds. It was great.'' Even though it was less than 3 times an improvement for increasing the 10 percent, Ajax was still satisfied with the changes because the Cooldown was reduced to seven days. ''Once I have a Divine Dark Rule and awaken it 20 percent, then my chances of winning against the multiple Emperor Realm Cultivators with Divine Rules would increase by a lot.'' After learning about Divine Rules, Ajax assumed that the leader of the Golden City in the Floating Ind might have a Divine Rule. Hence, Ajax was preparing himself for the fight against that leader. With Giant Dark Crystals, Ajax could easily upgrade his about-to-be-cultivated Dark-type Law or Soul could be turned into a Divine Rule in no time. After that, he was nning to upgrade it to 20 percent with ease and awakened two more skills which only makes him strong. Therefore, he was confident in fighting multiple peak Emperor Realm Cultivators who awakened Divine Rules with less than 20 percent awakening. ''From what I noticed, he didn''t have a Divine Rule but still¡­.I should prepare for the worst.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at the remaining Darkfire Crystals in his inventory and decided to merge and diffuse them after he returned from the Trader''s Realm. Since two new goals were added to his list, Ajax wanted to work hard andplete his goals one by one as soon as possible before focusing on Ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. ''Since I have [Purification me] now, I can remove the traces of evil energy from the World Cores.'' Ajax took out seven Smaller Dark World Cores and six Normal Dark World Cores. Instead of using the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax decided to use his new effect under the [Divine me Rule] to purify the cores. ''Even though I can still have the unrefined world cores, then everyone can guess that I entered the Dark Region.'' Ajax muttered the reason why he was refining the World Cores by using the Divine me Rule; instead of the Divine Essence of Nature. Chapter 1651 [Divine Cat Organization] To refine the Evil Energy from a single Smaller Dark World Core, Ajax needed to spend 500 units of the Divine Essence of Nature which was five times more than his current Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. Moreover, he had already asked the system about the cost for the other World Cores to remove Evil Energy from them. ''Ding To remove the Evil Energy from the Worlds Cores. For, 1) Smaller World Core: 500 units. 2) Normal World Core: 2500 units. 3) Greater World Core: 10000 units. After learning about this cost, Ajax had second thoughts about farming the world cores in the Dark Region; however, thanks to his [Purification Fire], Ajax didn''t have to waste time in purifying the world cores. "[Divine me Rule], activate." Since it was his own world, Ajax was not worried about others finding out that he had a Divine Rule at such a young age. If others knew about this, the other cultivators wouldn''t let Ajax live peacefully as they would want to find out his secrets behind having such a highprehension. Anyway, he was not worried about such things in his world because this world belongs to Ajax. ''Even though I can''t stop the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators from entering my world, I don''t have any problem escaping if I can''t take care of them.'' While activating the Divine me Rule, Ajax thought about the protection of his worlds which was no longer enough. ''I should also find some emperor-grade World Protection Arrays like Stormfire Wyvern World and create Teleportation Tokens that let one have ess to my worlds.'' Ajax thought about how a Normal World like Stormfire Wyvern World has a powerful protection that could stop the peak emperor realm cultivators, he wanted to have such protection to his worlds. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine me Rule. As long as it is deactivated within five minutes, there won''t be any side effects or damage to the host''s body. Since it was his first time activating the Divine me Rule, the system warned Ajax, making him nod his head. As soon as the Divine me Rule was activated, his entire body was covered in a bluish me; however, he didn''t feel any heat. ''Let''s refine the World Cores and the Giant Dark Crystals.'' ''Swoosh'' With a thought 13 Dark World Cores appeared in front of him along with 3500 Giant Dark Crystals and in less than two minutes, the intensity from the mes around his body burned the evil energy in those Dark Crystals and the World Cores. ''Ding, The traces of Evil Energy from the World Cores and the Giant Dark Crystals are sessfully removed. ''Deactivate.'' As soon as he received the system notifications, Ajax deactivated the Divine me Rule because he didn''t have to wait for seven days before using it again. Instead, he could use it again after three days as he had only activated the Divine me Rule for less than two minutes. ''Since everything is taken care of, it is time to enter the Tader''s Realm¡­.Enter.'' With a thought, Ajax entered the Trader''s Realm and went straight to the Special Notice Service Center in the high-level Trader''s Realm. "Wee, Sir." Seeing a familiar masked young man enter their Service Center, the female attendant weed him with a face of respect.I think you should take a look at The masked young man was none other than Ajax who started hiding his face from the moment he started his trading with the World Cores. When Ajaxmissioned the Notice Service Center, he also hid his face with the same mask he always used that could not only hide his face but even his aura and protect him from being seen through his identity. Even though the Female Attendant looked polite and respectful, deep inside her heart, she was a little disappointed. It was because of Ajax''s arrival as she wanted him toe aste as possible as it would make things easier for their Notice Service Center to take over his worlds. ''Anyway, The sales have crossed a little more than 2 trillion Trader''s Tokens and ording to themission, the Service Center would get 200 billion Trader''s tokens.'' ''In that, mymission will be 50 billion trader''s tokens which were almost enough to buy a lowly smaller world. With the Divine Cat Organization''s protection, I can slowly build the world and enjoy my life peacefully. However, when he thought about themission she would be making, she felt a little better. "So, I wonder how many drops of nt essence you collected?" Ajax didn''t waste his time as he directly asked about the nt Essence. The reason why Ajax wanted nt Essence was to true the Soul Nourishing Tree that could nourish his father''s soul. Once the soul was fully nourishing, even without his help, his father could slowly create a body for himself. Of course, Ajax would be helping his father in creating a body too but, at first, he wanted his father''s soul to recover a little so that he could freelymunicate with him. "Of course, sir. Since you trusted our service and paid such a heftymission fee, of course, we worked hard and collected as much as possible." With a face full of smiles, the female attendant asked Ajax to sit for a while, "Please wait for a moment, sir. I will collect all the nt essence from our branches all over the Trader''s Realm." After saying that, the female attendant entered the inner room and informed the Cat Statue about Ajax''s visit. ''That brat is lucky. Including our fee, he only needs to pay 2.5 trillion trader''s tokens. With this much, we could only get his Normal Dwarf World.'' His voice resounded in the female attendant''s head, making her nod. A lowly normal world costs around one trillion trader''s tokens; however, Ajax''s Normal World was not a low-level one. Moreover, it was a Normal Dwarf World which was very rare to appear in the Human Region. Therefore, it cost more than 2 trillion trader''s tokens. Of course, in reality, there is no fixed cost for the worlds as no one wants to sell their worlds unless they don''t have a chance or when the world resources are depleted. ''Sir, should I go through the regr procedure you mentioned earlier?'' The female attendant asked the Cat Statue. ''Yeah.'' She got a confirmation and at the same time, the Cat Statue''s half-raised paw moved and ced on the ground. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, three portals opened in front of the Cat Statue and three simr-looking cats walked out of those portals with a storage ring in their mouths. ''Give the entire nt essence we collected from the traders along with the nt essence in our storage which seemed to be around one trillion to him.'' The Cat Statue''s voice resounded again as it continued, ''With 3.5 trillion trader''s tokens, let''s see how he could pay that much in just a week¡­hehe¡­.meow~'' The female attendant didn''t expect to have 1000 drops of nt essence in their storage; however, she became happy because the higher the sale value, the more difficult it would be for their client to pay the money. Then, it would be a piece of cake for their Divine Cat Organization to obtain a Normal Dwarf World. Chapter 1652 [Bonus ] 3.52 Trillion Traders Tokens ''If the organization gets a Normal Dwarf World, they will give it a special Smaller World for sure and even if the organization didn''t get the world, I can still get somemission to buy a good smaller world.'' Either way, the female attendant would be the one to get benefitted; however, she hoped that Ajax would fail to pay them because, in that way, she would get a special Smaller World or even a lowly Normal World. With such thoughts in her mind, the female attendant collected all the nt Essence before returning to the lounge. "Sir, here." The attendant ced a small spatial gourd in front of Ajax and exined, "There are 3200 drops of nt Essence in this spatial gourd." "What? 32000 drops of nt Essence?" When he heard the attendant''s words, Ajax was shocked as looked at the small spatial gourd which was around the size of a fist. "How did you collect so much in just two days?" Even though Ajax believed that the Special Notice Service Center would be effective, he never expected even in his wildest dreams that they would be this efficient. 32000 drops of nt Essence was not a small number as he mightpletely nurture the Soul Nourishing Tree. When he thought about that, Ajax was excited as he even thought to nurture the other special trees in his inner world along with the Lesser World Tree in the Normal Dwarf World. ''It looks like he must be worrying about the funds to pay us¡­hehe.'' On the other hand, the female attendant chuckled in her heart when she saw how shocked Ajax was and asked with a calm look, "What happened, Sir? Why do you look so shocked?" Even though Ajax''s attire didn''t look grand, since he dared to use their service, the female attendant could tell that he was rich. However, she didn''t believe that Ajax could be able to bring out the required funds unless he was the son of the sect leaders of the top five sects in the human region. ''ording to the information, he was just lucky to get an inheritance and be an Emperor Realm along with the four worlds under his control.'' The female attendant silently thought in her head as she was confident that the young man behind him didn''t have a good background. "Nothing." Seeing that he was letting out his emotions, Ajax suppressed his shock and excitement under his mask as he shook his head. "Okay." The female attendant knew Ajax was worrying about the funds; however, she didn''t bother to ask much about it. Instead, she informed Ajax, "3200 drops of nt Essence costs 3.2 trillion trader''s tokens and adding the 10 percent of ourmission which is 320 billion trader''s tokens, it will be 3.52 trillion trader''s tokens." "Do you want to continue our service or do you want to end it now?" After informing Ajax about the price and fees for the 3200 drops of nt Essence, she asked Ajax whether he wanted to continue the service or end it. "I want to end it." When hemissioned them, Ajax thought to obtain only 100 drops of nt Essence; however, since he got so much, he was no longer interested in collecting more nt Essence¡­at least for now.I think you should take a look at "Sure, Sir." The female attendant had already expected Ajax''s answer as she informed, "Since Sir had deposited 100 billion trader''s tokens, you have to pay 3.51 trillion trader''s tokens." "I didn''t expect your service to collect so many drops of nt Essence in such a short time and I didn''t have that many trader''s tokens." Ajax was polite as he said the truth. "It''s alright, sir. We give all our clients a seven-day interest-free window for their payments." Everything was going within the expectations of the female attendant. So, she was not surprised and exined another rule of theirpany, "Within seven days, the client has to pay the payments and can take the nt Essence." Of course, the Special Notice Service Center was not that magnanimous to let Ajax take the nt Essence before paying them. "Oh, really?" On the other hand, Ajax was thinking about whether he had to exchange some of the resources like World Cores and Giant Dark Crystals with the Special Service Center to make up for his 3.51 trillion trader''s tokens. However, they were giving them seven days to pay for it without any interest. "Yourpany is so good to its clients. I will continue tomission you guys more in the future." Since Ajax needed some things to unlock his Divine Body Cultivation and Divine Spirit Cultivation, Ajax felt that this Service Company was good. "Thank you, Sir. It''s our pleasure working for you." Hearing Ajax''s words, the female attendant looked at Ajax as though she was looking at a fool; however, her words of thanking Ajax were genuine. Because of Ajax, her life will be changing as she would soon be a World Emperor for a smaller world. "Sir, are you willing to give us anothermission?" After thanking Ajax, the female attendant politely asked Ajax, while thinking, ''I doubt he willmission us.'' ''Anothermission¡­I have to collect five million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. I should give thismission to them.'' ''But at the same time, I want the Divine Grade fruits but I have never seen them in any auction houses. For that, I need to use something that the traders would go crazy over.'' Ajax thought about the things he needed and the thing he thought aboutmissioning was the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones for unlocking his Divine Body Cultivation. "It''s alright, Sir! You canmission us after you have enough funds." Seeing that Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the female attendant replied to Ajax thinking that he didn''t have enough funds. "Who said I don''t have enough funds? I can get them soon." Ajax shook his head and replied with a slight smile, "Since you guys are fast and efficient with your service, I want tomission another service from you." Chapter 1653 Revenue "What?" The female attendant was shocked to hear Ajax''s words. What''s more, Ajax was praising herpany without knowing what they were nning to do to him. ''Whatever¡­if he can''t pay, we can get other worlds under him.'' After suppressing her shock, the female attendant asked Ajax about his secondmission. "Don''t worry. You are going to earn more moneypared to our firstmission." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax asked, "What is the average price of a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone?" Since Ajax needed 5 million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, he was nning tomission the samepany because they were 100 times faster than he imagined. However, he didn''t know the price of the Supreme Grade Spirit Stone in the market as they were never sold in the market or even auctioned as all the cultivators and the sects needed them to improve their cultivation. Therefore, Ajax could only ask the female attendant about the price of the Supreme Grade Spirit Stone. "Supreme Grade Spirit Stone? Don''t tell me, the respected sir is nning to buy Supreme Grade Spirit Stones through us?" The female attendant just came out of her shock when she heard Ajax was nning tomission them even after he owed them 3.51 trillion trader''s tokens and now, he was nning tomission Spirit Stones through them. Even though the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones were considered rare, no one wouldmission them to buy the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones because not only the client had to pay a 10 percentmission to them but they needed to offer a tempting price for the cultivators to sell their precious Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. "Excuse me." Seeing that the female attendant was lost in her thoughts, Ajax called her. "Sorry." The attendant shook her head as a forced smile returned to her face as she exined, "I am sorry Sir. There is no specific price for the Supreme Grade Crystal Stones as everyone wants them for their cultivation." ''Say the price as 5 million per stone.'' Suddenly, a voice rang in her head; however, the attendant was not surprised as she knew it was the voice of the Cat Statue the voice continued, ''We can empty our inventory with this deal and 5 million trader''s tokens is not a bad deal.'' "However, ording to my calctions, if we announce 5 million trader''s tokens per stone, the cultivators might show some interest." Before Ajax could say anything, the female attendant suggested the price for the Supreme Grade Spirit Stone. "5 million trader''s tokens?" Ajax thought for a moment and said, "How about I think for a few days? I willmission you when Ie again to pay the 3.51 trillion trader''s tokens." From the moment Ajax entered the Notice Service Center, he could sense the changes in the attendant''s facial expression every moment.I think you should take a look at However, after seeing 3200 drops of nt Essence, Ajax felt they were good in their work. Of course, Ajax knew that buying such arge amount of nt Essence was not done with good intentions. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t care much about it as he was even willing to pay double to get the same quantity of nt Essence. For him, earning trader''s tokens was a piece of cake and all he cared about was to get the required resources as soon as possible. However, he felt five million trader''s tokens per spirit stone was a little too much as he wanted to check the price with other traders or auction house managers before finalizing a price for the Supreme Grade Stones. ''Since I want at least 5 million Spirit Stones, I have to be careful with the price.'' With that thought in his head, Ajax left the Notice Service Center and went straight to the auction houses to collect his money from auctioning off the world cores and the bloodline awakening pills. Soon, the funds in his ount started increasing as he collected from all three auction houses in the trader''s realm. Low-level Auction House: 500 million Trader''s Tokens (35 million from world core and remaining from the bloodline awakening pills). Mid-level Auction House: 21 billion Trader''s Tokens (20 billion from world cores and 1 billion from bloodline awakening pills). High-level Auction House: 125 billion Trader''s Tokens. (100 billion from world cores and 25 billion from bloodline awakening pills). Total Trader''s Tokens: 146.5 Billion Trader''s Tokens. ''Adding my old trader''s tokens, I have around 150 billion trader''s tokens.'' Ajax looked at his funds and could not help but say, ''If it was before, I would have been very excited; however, now, 150 billion trader''s tokens won''t even satisfy my expenses.'' ''Anyway, it''s all about increasing my strength as I can earn money easily.'' As long as Ajax sold a single Greater World Core, he could easily earn at least 100 trillion trader''s tokens; however, it would make him very famous to the point where the five sects would try everything in their power to either join him or destroy him. Ajax still didn''t forget about what his master said about the World Destroyer Sect that has the ability to retrieve the world cores but they got destroyed overnight. ''Once I convert my Spirit Cultivation and Body Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation along with my Divine Rules and other trump cards, I can start selling such rare resources.'' As of now, Ajax didn''t have any ns on selling them Greater World Cores or the Giant Crystals because these two resources could increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules and the cultivators would go crazy. ''I hope the high and top-quality bloodline awakening pills will help me get at least one trillion trader''s tokens.'' Earlier, he only took out low and mid-quality pills but now, he gave high and top-quality pills. So, he was hoping to get at least one trillion trader''s tokens. ''As for the 3.51 trillion trader''s tokens, I have multiple ways to earn them in a short time. I wonder which one I should take.'' Ajax stood in the high-level auction house and silently thought in his mind. Chapter 1654 Secret Exchange (1) ''The fastest way to earn the trader''s tokens is by exchanging with the bigshots.'' Ajax thought for a moment and decided the fastest way to earn the Trader''s Tokens. "By the way, Manager, what is the price of a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone that could make any cultivator sell them to me." After deciding where to get the funds to settle the payment for the Notice Service Center, Ajax asked the auction manager of the High-level Auction House in the Trader''s Realm. "Supreme Grade Spirit Stone?" Since Ajax was providing him with the World Cores to auction off, the auction manager was on good terms with Ajax. So, he gave his best answer, "Generally, there is no market for the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones; however, ording to me, as long as it is one million trader''s tokens, the cultivators can sell their Supreme Grade Spirit Stones to you." "If you are in a hurry and don''t mind paying extra, you can at maximum buy them for two million trader''s tokens. With that price, even the cultivators from the top sects would take their Supreme Grade Spirit Stones." The auction manager asked Ajax, "How many Supreme Grade Stones do you need, Sir World Destroyer?" "I need more than 5 million of them." Ajax replied without worrying as he knew the auction manager would try his best in helping him. Because, only that way, he could get more World Cores from Ajax. "Five million?" The auction manager was shocked for a moment; however, he hurriedly suppressed his shock and thought about something. "Sir, if you don''t mind, I can give you a suggestion regarding the purchase of the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones." After some hesitation, he said, "Instead of buying them with Trader''s Tokens, you can use the Bloodline Awakening Pills. If you want them in a short time, I suggest you use the Special Notice Service Center; however, I suggest you keep a particr limit to the transaction. Otherwise, they will increase the transaction value to trillions and take over the worlds that are connected to you if you didn''tplete the payment within seven days." "Oh. So, that''s how they work." Finally, Ajax understood why the Special Notice Service was so efficient inpleting theirmission. ''So, they want to take over my Normal Dwarf World.'' Among the four worlds he had, the most valuable one would be Normal Dwarf World followed by the Five Elemental World, the Purple Stone World and the Normal Elven World wasst on the ranking. "Thank you for your information." Ajax thanked the auction manager for the information; however, even without the information, it won''t be a big issue as Leo has connections to the bigshot to secure the funds in a short time. If he could take out a Greater World Core or a Giant Fire Crystal or a Giant Dark Crystal, Ajax could earn 10 trillion to 100 trillion trader''s tokens with ease. If he auctioned them off, earning 500 trillion trader''s tokens won''t be a problem either. "Actually, I want to use the Blooding Awakening Pills; however, I don''t have any more pills left."I think you should take a look at Ajax had given all the pills he had on him to the auction managers to auction them off in the next month''s auction. Moreover, he nned to auction them off for the trader''s tokens because he wanted all the traders to sell their supreme-grade spirit stones to umte their funds. It was a simr tactic that Ajax used to make everyone sell their nt essence for trader''s tokens at a good price so that they could buy the bloodline awakening pills in the auction houses. Moreover, this time, the Bloodline Awakening Pills were off high and top-quality. Therefore, as long as he posted a notice of buying Supreme Grade Spirit Stones at 2 million trader''s tokens, they won''t think twice before selling their Supreme grade spirit stones. "Thank you for your suggestions and information and these are this month''s promised World Cores." Soon, Ajax spoke a few more things with the auction manager as he gave three Normal World Cores and five Smaller World Cores which he promised to auction off every month. "It''s my pleasure working with sir." Taking the world cores from Ajax, the auction manager became excited and thanked Ajax. "Try to sell them off for a good price if you want me to continue the deal with you." After saying that, Ajax left the auction house and entered the Special Trader''s Lounge. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by before two figures appeared in the Special Trader''s Lounge and greeted Ajax. "Brother World Destroyer, is there something you need from us?" One of the two figures was none other than the Nightmare Fiend, the Emperor of a Greater Nightmare World in the Dragon Region. He asked Ajax in a respectful tone. "Sit down and tell me one thing. How many Trader''s Tokens do you have right now in your ounts?" Ajax had already made a n on how to get the Trader''s Tokens in a short time and already executed the n. He summoned two bigshots, the Nightmare Fiend and Jade Dragonling, who were quite rich and from the Greater Worlds in the Dragon Region. The first thing he asked them the moment they appeared was about the trader''s tokens in their ounts. "I have lived for more than 5000 years and umted nearly 100 trillion trader''s tokens." Nightmare Fiend didn''t think much as he proudly showed off his savings. "As for me, I have one trillion trader''s tokens and if in my father''s ount, there must be more than 500 trillion trader''s tokens." On the other hand, the Jade Dragonling used his father''s name and showed off. Even though Jade Dragonling acts quite mature and intelligent, he still had a childish mentality. So, he wanted to be the rich cultivator in front of Ajax. "Good. You have met the requirements for having a secret exchange with me." Once Ajax confirmed that they had enough funds, Ajax started a secret exchange with them. Chapter 1655 [Bonus ] Secret Exchange (2) "Secret Exchange?" The Nightmare Fiend Emperor and the Jade Dragonling were pleasantly surprised when they heard Ajax''s words and looked forward to seeing what he was nning to sell this time. Previously, Ajax had taken out Smaller World Cores and Normal World Cores and at that time, he made a contract not to divulge the information about the items or the supplier to anyone. Of course, in the case of Jade Dragonling, he could tell his parents. And now, Ajax had mentioned the same lines which means he was taking out some simr to the World Cores or even better since they had just signed the NDA of the Trader''s Realm. "Since Sir Nightmare Fiend Emperor is a Dark-type Bestial Cultivator, I have something you might feel useful." ''Swoosh'' Once Ajax took care of his precautions, Ajax took out a Giant Dark Crystal and gave it to the Nightmare Fiend Emperor. "T-this is¡­a Giant Dark Crystal that can help the cultivators upgrade their Dark Cultivator''s Soul into Divine Dark Rule." Nightmare Fiend was shocked when he saw the pure Giant Dark Crystal. It was not his first time seeing a Giant Crystal; however, it was definitely his first time seeing a Giant Dark Crystal because in the past he used Giant Darkire Crystals to upgrade his Bestial Soul into Divine Dark Rule. "Where did you get this Giant Dark Crystal? Do you have more? No matter the price, I am willing to buy them all." After suppressing his shock, the Nightmare Fiend Emperor hurriedly asked a couple of questions and informed Ajax that he would buy them all. "Can you stand by words?" Ajax remained silent for a moment before asking the Nightmare Fiend with a slight smile. "I am sorry, Sir World Destroyer." Suddenly, the Nightmare Fiend realized something and apologized to Ajax. Giant Dark Crystals could be considered the pinnacle-level cultivation resources in the universe. Moreover, they are very rare, unlike the Giant Darkfire Crystals. A Single Giant Darkfire Crystal would already cost a fortune; however, a Giaint Dark Crystal which is a level higher than the Giant Darkfire Crystal could be unable to buy even if it cost a fortune. Hence, the Nightmare Fiend knew that he could not buy many Giant Dark Crystals with his current assets. "..." From the side, the Jade Dragonling looked at the Giant Dark Crystal in Nightmare Fiend''s hands, he was shocked; however, when he thought of something, he became excited. ''Since Brother World Destroyer is nning to make a Secret Deal with me, does he have a Giant Jade Crystal?'' Just like how Giant Dark Crystals help the Cultivators with the Divine Dark Rule, for Jade Dragons like him and his parents, Giant Jade Crystals were required as they have an affinity with Divine Jade Rule. Therefore, his thoughts ran amok when he thought about Giant Jade Crystal. "How about I pay 20 trillion trader''s tokens for this Giant Dark Crystal and if you have another four Giant Dark Crystals, I will buy at the same price?" After thinking for a moment, the Nightmare Fiend decided to use his entire savings to buy the five Giant Dark Crystals from Ajax.I think you should take a look at The price Nightmare Fiend quoted was not low but at the same time, it was not high either. However, since Ajax had already established a good rtionship with Nightmare Fiend Emperor, he felt the price was okay. ''Moreover, I can''t auction off such good cultivation resources as I will definitely be targeted by them.'' If it was auctioned off, all the sects would fight for it and he might get 100 trillion or more trader''s tokens; however, he didn''t want to be that famous yet. Of course, if he pumps more Giant Dark Crystals, the price will gradually decrease with time. "Deal." With a thought, Ajax had taken out four more Giant Dark Crystals and gave them to Nightmare Fiend. Soon, the Nightmare Fiend sent him the payment as he received the notifications from the trader''s realm. ''The payment with thatpany is settled¡­Good.'' Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction as he muttered, ''However, I still need their help to collect the millions of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.'' Even though Ajax had already learned that the [Special Notice Service Center] was cunning and would take advantage of their clients by using loopholes, they were very efficient. For Ajax, he needed to get those specific resources as soon as possible so that he could be more powerful. "It looks like I need to seriously start earning some Trader''s Tokens to buy these valuable resources from you, Sir World Destroyer." Currently, the Nightmare Fiend Emperor had spent all the trader''s tokens he had saved for thest 5000 years and hence he thought he should start earning more money. "Jade Dragonling, I have something for you too." With a thought, a Giant Fire Crystal appeared in Ajax''s hands as he informed, "Since you said your world has a Sentient me, this Giant Fire Crystal would be definitely liked by it." "Contact your father and inform the price of this Giaint Fire Crystal as 30 trillion trader''s tokens." Even though Jade Dragonling has one trillion trader''s tokens as savings, he would not take the expensive decision and would always ask his father. Therefore, Ajax asked the Jade Dragonling to inform his father about it. As for the price being 30 trillion trader''s tokens was because it was rarepared to the Giaint Dark Crystal. Moreover, he had already spent a lot of them and would still need to give 3510 Giant Fire Crystals to the Stormfire. "Father said to buy a total of 10 Giant Fire Crystals." Jade Dragonling nodded his head and took a quick trip to his world and said that he would be buying 10 Giant Fire Crystals. "What? 10?" Chapter 1656 Second Commission 1656 Second Commission In the Special Notice Service Center, The female attendant was daydreaming about her own world whilezily sitting in her chair. Since the Special Notice Service Center''smission was high and at the same time, the minimum value of themission was about 100 billion trader''s tokens. Of course, there were some exceptions when the client owned a world or two. ''Ting'' Suddenly, she received a notification from the trader''s realm and when she read the notification, she nearly fell from her seat. "Sir¡­sir, we just received the payment from that client named [Harbinger of World Destroyer]." Without wasting any time, she hurriedly rushed towards the cat statue to inform them about this. ''It looks like he has quite a background.'' The Cat Stauts was surprised for a moment; however, it was not disappointed as it transmitted its voice to the female attendant. ''Anyway, we have earned some good money. Your share of trader''s tokens will be sent to you along with this year''s sry. Of course, if you want them now, you can redeem them right away.'' "I will take it along with my yearly sry." She would get interest for hermission if she takes it with her yearly pay. Until then, she could start searching for a good smaller world to buy. "Also, that client said that he willmission us for the second time." The female attendant was reminded about Ajax''s secondmission. ''I hope hemissions us for the second time as we can make huge profits if it was regarding the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.'' The Cat Statue''s voice resounded in her head and after thinking for a moment, it suggested to the female attendant, ''Little girl, I suggest you turn them into Divine Cat Tokens and increase your status in the organization to get more benefits.'' ''One of those benefits included ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm even without any cultivation.'' "What?" The female attendant had long given up on the thought of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm when she found out her limited potential. However, when she heard the Cat Statue''s words, it reignited her desire to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. ¡­.. In the Special Trader''s Lounge, "What? 10 Giant Fire Crystals?" Even though Ajax knew that Jade Dragonling''s father had umted so many trader''s tokens, he was still surprised to see he was willing to spend 300 trillion trader''s tokens. Before he could give the Giant Fire Crystals to Jade Dragonling, Ajax had already reached the payment making his bnce reach a new high. ''With this many trader''s tokens, I can easily collect five million Supreme Grade Stones with ease.'' Ajax had already decided tomission the [Special Notice Service Center] and now, he had enough funds for thatmission. Soon, Aax gave 10 Giant Fire Crystals to Jade Dragonling to end their secret deal. "Sir Nightmare Fiend, I am interested in learning some powerful Dark-type Cultivator''s Law or Souls. Do you have anything on you?" As the Emperor, Ajax believed the Nightmare Fiend would have some Dark-type Law Stones or Soul Stones. "I have some. Since Sir Ajax gave me a huge discount on the Giant Dark Stones, you can take them all for free." Hearing Ajax''s words, the Nightmare Fiend didn''t think much as he took out 10 Dark-type Soul Stones. Compared to the Giant Dark Stones, the 9 King Realm Soul Stones and one Emperor Realm Soul Stone ate nothing for the Nightmare Fiend. Therefore, he gave Ajax 10 Soul Stones for free. "Thank you, Sir Nightmare Fiend." Ajax didn''t stand on ceremony as he took them and decided to check them after returning to the Normal Dwarf World. "Brother World Destroyer, the Jade Pool will be upgraded in two days. You can use the Teleportation Token to enter the world. When youe, I will specially take care of you." Jade Dragonling informed Ajax about the Jade Pool and soon after, everyone left the Special Trader''s Lounge. After that, Ajax looked around the famous shops in the trader''s realm and bought some Fire-type Soul Stones at a decent price. ''It''s time for the secondmission.'' Afterpleting all his things, Ajax returned to the [Special Notice Service Center] for his secondmission with thepany. "I want exactly 10 million Supreme Grade Stones. Fire, Water, Wing, Earth and Metal in equal quantities which is 2 million." Without wasting any time, Ajax said he had requirements. "Should I keep the price of 5 million trader''s tokens as I suggested before?" The female attendant no longer doubted Ajax''s richness after seeing how easily he paid them back; however, it gave her another opportunity to make Ajax spend more per each Supreme Grade Stone. "There is no need to pay such a high price. ording to my sources, two million trader''s tokens is more than enough to buy a single Supreme Grade Spirit Stone." Unlike before, Ajax was careful as he checked the contract properly multiple times before signing it. The total transaction value for 10 million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones would be 20 trillion trader''s tokens and adding to the [Special Notice Service Center]''smission, it became 22 trillion trader''s tokens. "We will announce the notice to all the traders tomorrow morning just like our firstmission." Even though they won''t be able to scam Ajax anymore, they would get a huge profit from the transaction. Moreover, in their inventory, there were many Supreme Grade Spirit Stones which they could sell at a double price than outside and at the same time, the female attendant could receive a hugemission. Therefore, she became even more respectful to Ajax before starting the arrangements for Ajax''s secondmission. As for Ajax, he returned to the Normal Dwarf World and started cultivating Dark and Fire-type Soul Stones. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1657 First Ability Of The Soul Nourishment Tree After two days, ''Ding, The host has sessfully learned the Dark Cultivator''s Souls, the [Umbral Concealment] and the [Nightmare Weaving]. After returning from the Trader''s Realm, Ajax was fully focused on learning as many cultivators'' souls as possible. However, in the two days, he could only learn two of them and as for the others, Ajax decided to learn them after entering the Dark Region. That''s right! Since he would be entering the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax would have a lot of time to cultivate while his summon take care of the conquering. ''Since I will be entering the Great Jade Dragon World, I can''t learn any more souls for now.'' This was the reason why he stopped learning more about cultivators'' souls and decided to focus on upgrading them first. ''Before entering the Jade Pool, let''s nurture the nts.'' Ajax stretched his body a little and with a thought, he entered the Inner World. The Inner World was filled with many Elemental Paradise and all Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts were immersed in those Elemental Paradises and cultivated. ''Once I take care of the nt Essence, I should help my Contracted Spirit Beasts in awakening their Bestial Divine Rules.'' Just like how humans needed Divine Rules, the beasts also needed to have their own Divine Rules and only by seeding in the tribtion, they could ascend to the Human Bestial Realm. Of course, since they were contracted spirit beasts, they can follow their master to the Heavenly Human Realm as long as they meet the requirements of having 100 percent awakening of a Divine Rule and passing the tribtion with their master. Therefore, Ajax knew that he had to focus on his contracted spirit beasts also. Anyway, for now, Ajax didn''t disturb any of them as they slowly walked towards the Grade 7 Elemental Paradise, the Lightning Pool. In a Grade 7 Elemental Paradise, even the Emperor Realm cultivators and beasts could enjoy the pure essence of nature. However, the size of the Elemental Paradise was small and thus it was limited to one or two of his beasts and elemental spirits. Currently, Ceauno, the lightning elemental spirit, was the only one who was sitting on the edge of the Lightning Pool as he cultivated, trying to break through to the Emperor Realm. "Soul Nourishing Tree, I am here." Looking at the tree that was around the same height as him, Ajax greeted it; however, the tree has yet to gain consciousness. So, of course, it didn''t reply to him. ''Grow'' Without wasting any time, Ajax poured 100 drops of nt Essence on the ground around the Soul Nourishing Tree. ''Slurp'' In the next seconds, tiny ck-coloured roots came out and absorbed the nt essence excitedly. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the Soul Nourishing Tree started growing at a rapid pace. Not only height-wise but its trunk also started bulking up. After a couple of minutes, the growth stopped and the Soul Nourishing Tree had already reached double its previous height. The bark became smooth and silver, shimmering like moonlight, and adorned with intricate patterns that seem to glow softly. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at The [Soul Nourishing Tree] has reached 100 years and unlocked its first ability [Soul Nourishment]. ''Ding, Ability Name: Soul Nourishment. Effect: No matter how weak a soul is, it will be instantly nourished. Cooldown: One year. Avable Slots: 0 / 1 ''Finally, it awakened its first ability.'' Ajax was excited and at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the effect of the [Soul Nourishment Tree]''s first ability. ''Since there is only one slot, I can only ce Snow''s soul. I am sorry, father." Ajax had to wait for an entire year before cing the second soul and since Snow''s soul is very weak and the system could only maintain it for three months, Ajax decided to select Snow. As for his father''s soul, it was connected to the system and there was no harm in waiting for a year or if he was lucky, he might find other treasures that could nourish the treasure. ''System, connect Snow''s soul to the Soul Nourishing Tree.'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he gave themand, Ajax saw a small white orb fly out of his body and attached to one of the branches of the Soul Nourishing Tree. Once the orb is attached to the branch, the glow emitted by the orb brightens as though some kind of energy is filling it up. "Master" After a minute, Ajax heard a familiar voice from the orb which was weak but seemed excited. "Snow." Unknowingly, Ajax''s eyes moistened as he said, "I am sorry for not protecting you, Snow." Ajax still med himself for not being able to protect her as he apologized. "Master, don''t apologize. It is my fault for not being strong." Soon, the conversation between Ajax and Snow continued as all the Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts joined the conversation after learning about Snow''s soul. ''Swoosh'' After being nourished by the Soul Nourishing Tree, Snow''s soul orb detached from the tree and started flying around the inner world along with others. ''Now, all I have to do is find a method on how to create a body for her.'' Seeing Snow''s soul flying around the inner world, Ajax wanted to create a body for her and at the same time, he had to help her awaken a Divine Rule if he wanted to bring her with him to the Heavenly Human Realm. ''I still have 3100 drops of nt Essence left. I will just increase the age of the Soul Nourishing Tree.'' With each drop of a nt Essence, Ajax could increase the age of the special trees like Soul Nourishing Tree by one year and they could unlock more abilities with their age. Even though he still has two other trees, [Tree of Blessing] and the [Special Ability Tree] in the Inner World, Ajax only wanted to focus on the Soul Nourishing Tree for now as he wanted to see what ability it could awaken next. Chapter 1658 [Bonus ] Soul Nest [Tree of Blessing] was a special tree for the elemental spirit and Ajax had the thoughts of nurturing it; however, he needed the Soul Nourishing Tree for reviving his Father and Snow. Ajax didn''t know whether the Soul Nourishing Tree could unlock some good abilities or not; however, he had decided to nurture it to reach 1000 years. ''Swoosh'' Once Ajax decided, he didn''t waste any time as he poured 100 drops of nt Essence for the Soul Nourishing Tree to absorb. ''Slurp'' The roots of the tree absorbed and started growing; however,pared to before, the changes in it were minimal and it didn''t unlock any new abilities. Ajax poured another 100 drops of nt Essence. Other than growing a few meters, there were no changes to the tree. ''As I expected. There won''t be any abilities until it reaches 500 years old.'' Ajax was not disappointed as thought about it for a moment and poured two drops of nt Essence. ''Slurp'' ''Swoosh'' There was rapid growth in the tree; however, it still didn''t unlock any ability. Instead, the tree bore three shining ck-coloured fruits which pleasantly surprised Ajax. ''Pluck.'' He had spent 500 billion trader''s tokens on the Soul Nourishing Tree and of course, he knew those fruits would be something good. Therefore, without wasting any time, he plucked one of the fruits and checked the information on it. ''Ding, Item Name: Soul Protection Fruit. Item Grade: Mythical Grade. Uses: 1) Main ingredient for Soul Protection Pills. 2) Direct Consumption: Eating it directly will make a cultivator''s soul protect against the Divine Lightning while ascending. Note: 1) It is better to refine them into Soul Protection Pills using the fruit as an alchemist can create 10-15 pills depending on his alchemy mastery. 2) For every 100 years, only three Soul Porection Fruits will be borne by the Soul Nourishing Tree. ''A Mythcial Grade Fruit?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised that he got three Mythical Grade Fruits because whether it was a weapon or a pill or a fruit or a formation, as long as it was a Mythical Grade, it could be considered a top-level cultivation resource in the universe, Moreover, this Soul Protection Fruit protects the Cultivator''s Souls during the ascending tribtion. Even if they failed their ascension, the cultivators could slowly nurture a new body and have a second chance at the ascension. ''If I can refine the pills, I can maximize the benefits from the Fruit.'' However, to refine the pills, Ajax needed to be an Alchemy Emperor. Moreover, he should either find a pill recipe for the Soul Protection Pill or deduce one using his past alchemy experience and theories in his head. ''For now, I am not focused on alchemy. So, it can wait.'' Ajax didn''t want to shift his focus to alchemy now as he was busy with so many things already. Soon, Ajax picked the other two Soul Protection Fruits and stored them in Jade Boxes before pouring nt Essence into the Soul Nourishing Tree in 100 drops intervals. ''It reached 600 years old and bore another three fruits.''I think you should take a look at Ajax picked the fruits and gave another 100 drops of nt Essence to the tree and he kept repeating the process until the tree reached 1000 years. By now, Ajax had already collected 15 Soul Protection Fruits and looked expectantly at the tree that would reach 1000 years after drinking the nt essence he just poured. Soon, the changes in the tree came to an end as Ajax saw three new Soul Protection Fruits hanging on the tree. ''Ding, The Soul Nourishing Tree has reached 1000 years and became a Millennial Tree. ''Ding, A New Ability [Soul Nest] has been unlocked. Finally, what Ajax was waiting for had happened as he heaved a sigh of relief to see the Soul Nourishing Tree unlock another ability. ''Give me more information about the ability.'' With an order, the system sent him a notification filled with the new ability''s details. ''Ding, Ability Name: Soul Nest. Effect: By dropping a single drop of blood, a cultivator can directly establish the connection with the Soul Nourishing Tree. Upon the death of the cultivator, his soul will be directly teleported to this Soul Nest before nourishing it. Number of Slots: 0 / 1. ''Instant teleportation of the soul? Very useful ability.'' In Ajax''s view, it was quite a good ability because even if a regr cultivator''s soul was lucky enough to leave the body in time, the enemy won''t let the soul escape so easily. However, if he could instantly teleport that soul away from the ce, it would be considered a life-saving trump card. ''What''s more, the first ability [Soul Nourishment] has been upgraded.'' The ability''s cooldown had long reset when the Soul Nourishment Tree''s age reached 200 years; however, Ajax focused on nurturing the tree and decided to wait for a while before connecting his father''s soul to the tree for the nourishment. However, when it reached 1000 years old, the tree not only unlocked a new ability but also upgraded the first ability. ''Number of slots increased from one to three. Not bad.'' Nodding his head, Ajax ordered the system. ''Connect father''s soul with the tree and let his soul be nourished by the tree.'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a bright golden-coloured soul came out of Ajax''s body as it attached to one of the branches of the Soul Nourishing Tree. ''Swoosh'' Just like how Snow''s Soul Orb glowed, Ajax''s father Vaugh''s soul emitted bright golden light. "Son, I haven''t seen you for a while and you have already be so powerful." Soon, Ajax heard his father''s excited voice and just like before, Ajax put away everything and started speaking with his father after quite a lot of time. Actually, it''s been not a long time; however, Ajax stayed seven years in the Floating Ind and hence he felt it''s been quite a long time. "So, not only did you be an Emperor Realm Cultivator but you even have lots of trader''s tokens." After their discussion, Vaugh said to Ajax, "I think it is time to create a new body for me." He paused for a moment and said, "And for her." Chapter 1659 Transmigrator? "I think it is time to create a new body for me and her." Since Ajax was rich and at the same time, he became an Emperor Realm Cultivator, Vaugh decided to start the procedure to create the bodies for him and Snow. "Father, just say the names of the treasures you want to create the bodies for you and Snow. I will try my best to collect them." Hearing his father mentioning creating new bodies for him and Snow, Ajax became excited as he hurriedly assured his father. Ajax knew his father was mysterious and as a previous host of the system, he knew would be quite knowledgeable about many things. ''If M knew about Ajax''s filiality to his parents, she would be quite proud.'' Which parent won''t be proud of their son for being filial despite not having their love and care for him during his growing period? He could not help but think of his wife M, who was Ajax''s mother. Even though her physical body was destroyed, Vaugh knew her soul was connected to a much better Treasure than the Treasure his soul was connected to. ''I hope she found a good host to help her wake up from her slumber and help her in creating her own body and ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' Vaugh was lost in his thoughts as he thought about his wife. "Father." Seeing that his father was not saying anything, Ajax woke him up from his thoughts. "Let me sort my memories first." Waking up from his thoughts, Vaugh asked Ajax to wait for a moment to sort his memories to search for the process of creating new bodies. "Okay." Ajax''s father Vaugh was only a mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivator in the Purple Stone World. However, with the help of the system''s specialized cultivation breakthroughs, he was able to go against the Peak Emperor Realm Cultivators and was able to protect the Purple Stone World from thebined invasion of the Great Demonic Emperors. Of course, in the process, he and his wife had to sacrifice their lives; however, thanks to the system, Vaugh''s Soul was connected to the system. Despite being a mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivator from a Normal Human World, Ajax knew that his father was quite knowledgeable. ''However, I am very curious about my father''s origins.'' Even though Ajax didn''t meet his mother yet, he knew she was Boron''s daughter and Boron was born in the Purple Stone World and became a guardian of the world. As for his father, not to mention Ajax, even his Grandpa Boron doesn''t know Vaugh''s origins but he knew about one thing Vaugh was not evil and a good person. Since he believed that, Boron approved their marriage and eventually Ajax was born. "Do you want to ask me something, Son?" Seeing that Ajax was about to ask something but held himself back multiple times, Vaugh asked Ajax about it. "Father, I am always curious about your identity. Are you an inhabitant of the Purple Stone World or¡­." "Haha" Before Ajax could finish his words, Vaugh''sughter interrupted him. "You want to know about my origins? If you want to know, I don''t mind telling."I think you should take a look at Afterughing for a moment, Vaugh asked, "Do you want to know?" "Yes." Ajax didn''t hesitate as he nodded his head with a curious look on his face. "Other than your mother, you will be the only person who will know about my origins." With that being said, Vaugh continued, "Actually, I was a transmigrator from another universe and it''s been thousands of years. So, I don''t have many memories of that ce." "What? Transmigrator from another Universe?" Ajax was only surprised for a moment because he always had doubts about his father''s origins. As for the Universe, Ajax was not at all surprised because when Winged Golden Demon Emperor was exining to him about this universe, he also mentioned there were other universes in the realm. "Father, didn''t you ever want to go back to that universe?" After digesting that information, Ajax asked about it. No matter how much one gets adapted to their new world, they will always think about their old world and here, his father had transmigrated from one universe to another. So, he asked about it. "In the initial years, I tried many times; however, the system in my head said that I can''t go back; however, I never gave up and focused on increasing my strength to find solutions. However, eventually, I forgot almost everything about that world and I don''t even have a reason to go back to that universe as it''s been nearly 10000 years since I came to this universe. Anyway, I have a wife and a son in this world and don''t need to go back to that universe." Vaugh''s voice was filled with mixed emotions; however, at the end of his words, it became better. Ajax shook his head at his father''s mixed emotions as he didn''t know what to say in the current situation. So, he remained silent and thought about, ''10000 years?'' ''As far as Grandpa said, the father will be around 200 years old just like the mother.'' Ajax tried to connect the dots; however, he felt like he was missing something. ''I wonder if I can really go back if I get a chance to go back now?'' Even though Vaugh said he lost the memories of the universe he came from, he still has some good ones. But the problem was whether he could go back now even if he was given a chance to go back, leaving his wife and son to a universe that he left 10,000 years ago. In the end, he stopped thinking about all these things and looked at Ajax. "What are you frowning at now?" Seeing that his son was frowning, Vaugh asked Ajax about it. "Father, you said you transmigrated to this world 10000 years ago. If so, where were you before you came to the Purple Stone World." Ajax asked about his question. "Oh, right! I forgot to say another thing." Vaugh suddenly remembered something and exined with a slight smile, "When I transmigrated to this universe, I was not transmitted as Vaugh but as Aron Alpenswift. You have already heard about him, right?" Chapter 1660 Extraordinary Cultivation Body "What? You are the famous fallen Aron Alpenswift?" Ajax was shocked to hear his father''s words and could not believe it for a moment. Aron Alpenswift, also known as the Demon Exterminator, who killed millions of Demons. He became the youngest Emperor Realm Cultivator in human history despite Aron trying his best to hide his cultivation. Eventually, the top sects of the human region didn''t like Aron bing stronger than them and knew it won''t be long before he awakened the Divine Rules. Therefore, they secretly nned with the Great Demon Emperors of the Demon Region in the Universe to kill him. Even though he was surrounded by many zero-order apostles belonging to the Great Demon Emperor, he killed thousands of them and sessfully escaped. However, what he didn''t expect was that he would be surrounded by the old monsters from the sects who had already upgraded their Cultivator''s Soul into Divine Rules. Without a choice, Aron self-destructed his body and at the same time, he split his soul into 10 equal parts and sent nine of them in different directions to misguide his attackers while hisst portion of the soul was connected to the system and escaped to the Purple Stone World. Ajax learned the first half of the story from his master, the Bloodline Emperor Mostror because Mostror and Aron were sworn brothers under the Heavens. That''s the reason why Mostror left the sect he stayed loyal to because he learned his sect also yed a role in the death of his sworn brother. As for theter part, Vaugh said how he was killed by the Emperor Realm Cultivators who awakened Divine Rules and how he escaped with the system to the Purple Stone World. "I knew those Sects are not good." Ajax was always warned about the Sects and even when Mostror asked Ajax whether he wanted to join any sect, he chose not to join. Mostror was d about his decision because many cultivators, despite knowing the evil done by the Sects, would join the sects to get the cultivation resources. "Oh. So, you already knew about the Master and that''s why you asked me to be his disciple." Suddenly, Ajax remembered the reason why his father urged him to be Mostror''s disciple. "Yeah. He is an emotional person and seeing him still struck at the peak Emperor Realm without awakening a Divine Rule, he must be ming himself for my death." Vaugh exined his rtionship with the Bloodline Emperor. "After I came to the Purple Stone World, it took me more than 5000 years just to recover my consciousness and after that, I slowly created an average body due to the limited cultivation resources in the Purple Stone World." Vaugh continued to say about his past, "Eventually, it took me around 3000 years before I created a body and eventually met your Grandpa then your mother. You already know everything that happened after that." "So, it took 3000 years just to create an average body?"I think you should take a look at Ajax was shocked to hear the time taken to create a body. Even though he could leave for another 10000 years without unlocking his Divine Body Cultivation, Ajax still felt 3000 years was too much time and it required a lot of patience. "Don''t worry. Earlier, I was doing everything on my own in the soul form. Moreover, I needed to be careful not to fall into the eyes of the other King Realm Cultivators." Vaugh exined, "However, now, I can rely on you, my son, who is not only rich but an Emperor Realm Cultivator. With your help, I am nning to create an Extraordinary Cultivation Body for me and also for your Contracted Spirit Beast in the shortest time possible." "Extraordinary Cultivation Body? And give me the time estimation to create those bodies." Ajax became excited when he heard about extraordinary bodies and asked for the time frame to create them. Extraordinary Cultivation Bodies are those bodies that won''t have any bottlenecks and the chances of giving birth to inner demons is almost impossible. In short, having an Extraordinary Cultivation Body will allow a cultivator to be an Emperor Realm Cultivator in the shortest time possible with minimum cultivation resources. "Even though Icked resources in the Purple Stone World, I was lucky to have a son who was born with an Extraordinary Cultivation Body." Instead of answering Ajax''s question, he praised Ajax''s Extraordinary Cultivation Body for a moment, making Ajax speechless before answering, "As long as you can bring me three Mythcial Grade Resources, I can create the body in just a single year." "In just a year." Ajax had already learned from Boron that he had an Extraordinary Cultivation Body and it was because his parents worked very hard and used many cultivation resources while he was still inside M''s womb. However, Ajax didn''t want to be thanked for that; instead, he wanted to thank his parents for his actions and help them get the Extraordinary Cultivation Bodies. "Listen carefully to the names of the treasures I mention and keep an eye for them in the Trader''s Realm and in the other Greater Worlds you travel to." Vaugh didn''t waste any more time as he started saying the names of the treasures required to create the Extraordinary Cultivation Bodies. "Among the three main treasures that are needed to create an Extraordinary Cultivation Body is the Essence of Rebirth." Vaugh said the first treasure''s name and exined it, "Once a soul absorbs the Essence of Rebirth, all the impurities in the soul will be removed and makes the soul pure and increases the affinity with all types of elements." "After that, I need a Primordial Soul Stone. It is a rare gemstone containing primordial energy that helps in transforming my Soul Orb into a perfect soul form that I want to transform into." "As for thest time, it is the most important item among the three because he could create a wless body that is suitable for any cultivation techniques. It is called Life Essence Pearl." Chapter 1661 [Bonus ] Secret Cultivation Realms Life Essence Pearl is a magical pearl that contains condensed life essence and is a main treasure for creating a body. When the soul interacts with it, the pearl provides the essential life force needed to initiate the creation of a new body as it could materialize the body imagined by the soul. "Of course, there should be other resources to make things go smoothly during the process. And they were World Cores and the Spirit Stones." Vaugh thought about it for a moment before saying, "The higher the grade for the World Core and the Spirit Stone, the better in creating the body." "Life Essence Pearl, Primordial Soul Stone and Essence of Rebirth along with a World Core and a Spirit Stone." Ajax listened to his father attentively and recited the required treasures for creating an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. "Also, don''t take too much pressure in finding these resources as they won''t be easy to find." Even though he could not wait to create a body for himself, Vaugh didn''t want to pressure his son as he informed, "Also, I know some special ces where you can find them; however, it would take at least 50- 60 years for any of those ces to be opened." "But, it''s alright! I have waited 3000 years to create a body in the past. So, waiting for less than 100 years is far better than that." "Huh? Special ces?" Ajax became curious about the so-called Special ces. "The top five sects in the human region were able to be powerful thanks to those Special ces. They are filled with many cultivation resources, rare ingredients and treasures. The sects own those special ces and they were opened for a specific time period depending on their Ancestors'' instructions and whenever they are opened, they would charge a lot per cultivator." "They are called Secret Cultivation Realms and ording to my calction, in another 50 or 60 years, the Celestial Dawn Sect would open their Secret Cultivation Realm called Celestial Dawn Realm." These so-called Secret Cultivation Realms were not a big secret in the universe as almost all the rich cultivators knew about them and were waiting for them to open so that they could enter and get some good cultivation resources from them. In the past, when Vaugh was Aron, he entered one of the Secret Cultivation Realms belonging to the Sacred Heavenly Sect and got many treasures that he added to the system. Eventually, one of them helped him recreate a body for him to get a new identity, Vaugh. Therefore, Vaugh also wanted his son to enter one of those Secret Cultivation Realms and with Ajax''s strength and system''s help, he could ovee almost all the dangers because almost all the Secret Cultivation Realms have age restrictions. "No wonder, those sects were able to keep their positions even after 10000 years." Ajax nodded his head and decided to ask about these Secret Cultivation Realms when he visited his master and other powerful cultivators like the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, Prince Dakon and so on. "Okay, Father." Since Ajax had already nourished Snow''s soul, he no longer had any pressure that her soul might disappear within three months. Moreover, with his father''s help, Snow could get an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. Therefore, Ajax decided to be patient and search for those treasures when the Secret Cultivation Realms are opened. After that, Ajax talked with his father and learned a few more things beforeing back to his work.I think you should take a look at "So, you are saying you still have 2200 drops of nt Essence." Looking at the spatial gourd in Ajax''s hand, Vaugh spoke, "Even though Soul Nourishing Tree is useful, if I were you, I would focus more on the [Tree of Blessing] or the [Lesser World Tree] in his Normal Elven World." After learning about how Ajax wanted to nurture the Soul Nourishing Tree more, Vaugh suggested Ajax nurture the other trees. "I was also thinking of nurturing the [Tree of Blessing]." Even though Ajax didn''t think of the Lesser World Tree, Ajax had some expectations from the [Tree of Blessing] because it was rted to Elemental Spirits. "Before that, I will connect my soul to the Soul Nurturing Tree." Without hesitation, Ajax asked the system to connect his soul to the Soul Nurturing Treee''s second ability, [Soul Nest]. In case something happens to Ajax, his soul will be directly teleported to the [Soul Nest]. ''Aargh'' Suddenly, Ajax felt a sharp pain from his Divine Spirit Consciousness; however, in the next moment, he learned the reason for that sharp pain. ''Ding, One unit of Divine Spirit Consciousness is cut off and ced inside one of the souls in the Soul Nest. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 99 / 99. His Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity is reduced to 99 after his soul got connected to the Soul Nest. "ording to my knowledge of the trees, you need to increase the age of this [Soul Nourishing Tree] to unlock its new ability. I am very sure it would be a powerful ability." The reason why Vaugh suggested Ajax stop nurturing the Soul Nourishing Tree was not because he didn''t like the tree; instead, it wouldn''t give him many benefits until it reached 10000 years. However, Ajax didn''t have that much of nt Essence. Therefore, he suggested that he could use the remaining nt essence to upgrade the other trees in his inner world to 1000 years and unlock two abilities each. "I wonder what type of abilities my [Tree of Blessing] will unlock." After recovering from the pain, Ajax took a deep breath and excitedly looked at the huge tree that had different coloured branches with different coloured fruits hanging on each one of those branches. After his elemental spirits reached King Realm, Ajax ordered all the elemental spirits to refine their Elemental Essence before giving it to the [Tree of Blessing]. Once an elemental spirit offers his or her Elemental Essence, a specific branch rted to that elemental spirit will grow with fruits that could help the elemental spirit in his/her cultivation. "It is already a 10-year old tree. Let''s give it 90 drops of nt Essence first." Chapter 1662 Spirit Blessing "It is already a 10-year-old tree. Let''s give it 90 drops of nt Essence first." Even though it was not really 10 years since he nted it in the inner world, the [Tree of Blessing] was able to grow at a good speed thanks to the Elemental Essence given by the Elemental Spirits. However, as time passed, the effectiveness of the Elemental Essence decreased and Ajax thought the effectiveness would increase once all his Elemental Spirits break through to the Emperor Realm and provide the Elemental Essence. Nevertheless, even by doing so, Ajax believed that it would take a long time before it naturally reached 100 years old. However, with the help of the nt Essence, he could instantly nurture the [Tree of Blessing] for 1000 years. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he poured 90 drops of nt Essence on the ground around the [Tree of Blessing] and in the next second, its roots became alive and absorbed the nt Essence before it started growing. ''Even though it was called [Tree of Blessing], it was still a nt; however, now, it looks like a full-grown tree.'' Looking at the tree with different coloured branches, Ajax silentlymented on the [Tree of Blessing]. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has be a 100-year-old tree and unlocked its first ability [Spirit Sanctuary]. ''Ding, Ability Name: Spirit Sanctuary. Effect: The elemental spirits connected to the [Tree of Blessing] can be revived after their death. Number of Slots: 0 / 1. Note: Currently, 23 elemental spirits are connected to the [Tree of Blessing]. Please select an Elemental Spirit that you want to be revived upon its death. Cooldown: One Year. Note: If the selected Elemental Spirit dies within a year of revival, it could not be revived through the Spirit Sanctuary. Soon, Ajax received information about the first ability of the [Tree of Blessing]. ''If only I have more slots¡­it would have been an excellent ability.'' When he read the effect of the Ability, Ajax was excited; however, when he saw that he could only select one elemental spirit to have the revival ability. Moreover, it even has a cooldown of one year. ''Since it is a matter of heaven-defying things, a cooldown of one year was not a big deal.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t have anyints regarding the cooldown as he muttered, ''I hope I can increase the number of slots.'' Since Ajax have lots of elemental spirits, he needed more slots. At that time, he doesn''t have to worry about his elemental spirits as they could be revived again. ''Also, I still have two chances to enter the Elemental Spirit Worlds and I can form contracts with lots of Elementals Spirits during those two trips. So, I need to have more slots.'' Even though Ajax was worried about having so many elemental spirits after learning about [Elemental Ascendance], he wanted to create a powerful Elemental Spirit Army. Once he had such a powerful army, he could have all the resources in the world and helping them awaken their [Elemental Ascendance] would be a piece of cake. In short, Ajax is nning something big for his future not only in his universe but even in the Heavenly Human Realm after ascending.I think you should take a look at ''I am nning to nurture it until the [Tree of Blessing] bes a 1000-year-old tree, I will not fill the slot for the Spirit Sanctuary.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax directly poured 400 drops of nt Essence because the [Soul Nourishing Tree] started giving him [Soul Protection Fruits]. Hence, he assumed that the [Tree of Blessing] would also have a simr effect. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has be a 500-year-old tree and bore an Elemental Ascendance Fruit (Universal). As Ajax expected, when it reached 500 years old, the [Tree of Blessing] bore a huge purplish silver-coloured fruit that emitted tiny lightning sparks. ''Even though the [Tree of Blessing] bore only one fruit, it''s much more valuable to mepared to the Soul Protection Fruit.'' Just by the name, Ajax could tell what it was used for and when he saw the information, it was also the same, making him excited. ''If it can bear one fruit for every 100 years, I can easily help all my elemental spirits with their Elemental Ascendance.'' One of his worries disappeared when Ajax thought about this as he plucked the [Elemental Ascendance Fruit] before pouring another 100 drops of nt Essence to collect the second [Elemental Ascendance Fruit]. ''Huh?'' However, when the [Tree of Blessing] became a 600-year-old tree, it didn''t bore any fruit, making Ajax frown and check the information on the [Elemental Ascendance Fruit] properly. ''It is a special fruit that appears once every 500 years.'' When he read that Ajax became silent for a moment before thinking, ''Fine¡­even though it would take some time, I can help all my Elemental Spirits with their [Elemental Ascendance].'' With that thought in mind, Ajax poured the other 400 drops of nt Essence and soon, the [Tree of Blessing] grew at a rapid pace and looked like an ancient tree that lived for ages. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has be a 1000-year-old tree and unlocked its second ability [Ascendance Blessing]. ''Ding, Ability Name: Ascendance Blessing. Number of Slots: 0 / 1. Use: The selected elemental spirit can receive a random percentage of increase in the [Elemental Ascendance] daily from the Tree of Blessing. Note: The selected elemental spirit should have a connection with the [Tree of Blessing]. ''Ding, The tree has bore its second [Elemental Ascendance Fruit]. ''Ding, The tree''s first ability [Spirit Sanctuary] has been upgraded. Now it can host three elemental spirits. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head and without wasting any time, Ajax read them one by one, making him reveal a satisfied smile on his face. Even though the new ability only has one slot, Ajax felt, ''I should just find more drops of nt essence and nurture the [Tree of Blessing] to 10000 years and I am sure, other than getting a new ability, the first two abilities will be upgraded.'' Chapter 1663 Nurturing the Lesser World Tree 1663 Nurturing the Lesser World Tree ''With the new abilities, I can let an elemental spirit fulfil its [Elemental Ascendance] on its own.'' Even though Ajax already knew why the nt Essence was so rare and costly, he still could not help but think why no one was willing to sell them. The reason why Ajax was able to collect 3200 drops of nt Essence was because he had offered a huge price for a single drop of nt Essence and at the same time, the [Special Notice Service] wanted to take advantage of the situation to take Ajax''s Normal Dwarven World. Even though they didn''t get what they wanted, they were not disappointed as they got a good deal for the nt Essence along with a goodmission. ''As long as one has the nt Essence, they could nurture Mythical Grade Trees like [Tree of Blessing] and [Soul Nourishment Tree]. I wonder if any of those Greater Worlds have such special trees. If so, I should collect the seeds and nurture them.'' Of course, finding the seeds of these trees are very hard to find and even if someone was lucky enough to find them, they need a good ce that is filled with the pure essence of nature like Ajax''s inner world. The reason Ajax''s inner world contained such pure essence of nature was because of more than 20 Elemental Paradises and a dozen Bestial Paradises along with the Draconic Spirit Turtle King. Even though Ajax knew it was rare to find those seeds, he still wanted to give it a try but of course, he won''t be actively looking for them as he has much better things to do. ''Ding, Tree Name: Soul Nourishing Tree (Alma). Age: 1000 years old. Basic Effect: It nourishes the souls of all beings that stay close to the tree and strengthens them over time. Fruits: Soul Protection Fruits. (Three fruits per 100 years). Abilities: Soul Nourishment, Soul Nest. ''Ding, Tree Name: Tree of Blessing (Grace). Age: 1000 years old. Basic Effect: The elemental spirits can offer their elemental essence and receive some blessings from time to time. Fruits: Elemental Ascendance Fruit. (One per year) Abilities: Spirit Sanctuary, Spirit Blessing. Looking at the two ancient-looking trees in his Inner World, Ajax could help but be proud. As long as he was careful and nurtured these two trees, Ajax and his elemental spirits could live forever.'' With Soul Nourishing Tree, Ajax''s soul will be protected and slowly nourished over time and then he could reconstruct a new body. As for his elemental spirits, with the help of the [Tree of Blessing], he could be revived again. Of course, Ajax was thinking about the future when both these trees reached the age of 100000 or a million years old. ''However, to do that, I need lots of nt Essence. I think I should continue to buy more nt Essence.'' After experiencing the usefulness of the nt Essence and how good the abilities unlocked and fruits bore by the trees, Ajax wanted to continue to buy the nt Essence. Since he was nning to wait for another 100 years to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm as he needed to help his Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beast to ascend along with him, Ajax felt he had enough time to nurture these trees to at least 100000 years if not one million years. ''I still have 1210 drops of nt Essence left.'' Looking at the spatial gourd in his hands, Ajax started thinking about it for a moment and his eyes fell on the sapling of the Lesser World Tree. Leo had two seeds of the Lesser World Tree and he nted one in his inner world and the other one in the Normal Elven World. ''As far as I know, my mother-inw in the Five Elemental World must be close to 1000 years.'' Suddenly, he thought about the Lesser World Tree in the Five Elemental World and decided to help her reach 1000 years. Of course, even with that, he would still have enough drops of nt Essence to Nurture one of his Lesser World Trees for 1000 years. Soon, Ajax poured 99 drops of nt Essence and the sapling of the Lesser World Tree rapidly grew and turned into a normal tree around the height of 5-6 meters. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree has be a 100-year-old tree and gained consciousness. It can speak now. [Father] Just as he received the system notification, Ajax heard an immature voice belonging to a little girl in his head. ''Ding, As the host was the one who provided it with arge quantity of nt Essence, it recognizes you as its family. Before Ajax could think, he had already gained the answer to his question and shook his head. It was not his first time as the [Tree of Blessing] had already awakened a soul when it was 10 years old ''Ding, 13:51 The Lesser World Tree has be a 1000-year-old tree and has awakened its first ability. and he named Grace. As for the Soul Nurturing Tree, it also gained consciousness and even formed its soul before it became 100 years old and he named her Alma. However, what he was disappointed was, the Lesser World Tree didn''t awaken any ability. "I will call you, Zoe." After naming her, Leo continued to pour more drops of nt Essence and eventually nurtured it to 1000 years before he received the system notification. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree has be a 1000-year-old tree and has awakened its first ability. Unlike the other two trees that awakened their first ability at 100 years old, the Lesser World Tree awakened its first ability at 1000 years. ''Ding, Tree Name: Lesser World Tree (Zoe). Age: 1000 years old. Fruits: Lesser World Fruit (One per 100 years). Note: 1) The fruit that appeared after the Lesser World Tree became a 500-year-old tree. 2) The Lesser World Fruit contained a random treasure with a grade ranging from Heaven Grade to Mythcial Grade. The higher the grade, the lower the chances of appearance. Ability: World Enhancement. Looking at the towering tree in front of him and then looking at the information appearing in front of him, Ajax became excited and focused on the tree''s first ability.

Effect: The size of the world and the cultivation speed of the beings in the world will be increased by 10 times. Note: More effects will be unlocked as the age of the Lesser World Tree increases. ''Rumble'' Just as Ajax checked the information on the first ability of the Lesser World Tree, he sensed the rumbling sounds around him. ''Ding, Under the effect of the [World Enhancement], the host''s inner world will be expanded by 10 times and all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts could cultivate 10 times fasterpared to before. The rumbling sounds disappeared after a few moments as Ajax received the system notification regarding the changes to the Inner World. Ajax''s inner world was also a world and when he first unlocked it, it was around the same size as a low-level Normal Human World. Eventually, Ajax built many elemental paradises and bestial paradise and injected millions of essence of nature into the Inner World and slowly nurtured it into a peak Normal Human World. Now, under the effect of the [World Enhancement], it officially breakthroughs to the same size as a level 1 Greater Human World and it goes the same for the purity of the essence of nature. ''Let''s test the purity of the essence of nature.'' [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] Without hesitation, Ajax circted his cultivation technique to test the purity of the essence of nature in the Inner World. ''Swoosh'' The moment he circted the cultivation technique, all the tiny elemental particles in the inner world rushed into Ajax''s body and in less than a minute, he received the system notification. ''Ding, The host gained one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature in 50 seconds. Compared to his cultivation speed in the Stormfire Wyvern World, it was 10 seconds faster to gain a single unit of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 1 / 99 units. ''System, consume thatst unit of Divine Essence of Nature and increase my Divine Spirit Consciousness by one unit.'' Ajax learned from the system that for every 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature he spent on the Divine Spirit Consciousness, its capacity would increase by one unit. Earlier, he spent 99 units of Divine Essence of Nature and now, another unit. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0 / 100 units. With that, his Divine Spirit Consciousness returned to its original capacity. ''Even though the cultivation speed in the Inner World is good, I should not cultivate and consume all the essence of nature generated by the world.'' Since there were many elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts in the Inner World, Ajax didn''t want to consume all the essence of nature for himself as it would gradually decrease the cultivation speed of his summons. One billion units of the Essence of Nature is equivalent to one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. So, Ajax refrained from cultivating his Inner World. ''After spending 2989 drops of nt Essence, I am still left with 211 drops which are not useful in unlocking the new abilities for the three trees. I will just help Mother-inw and with her help, I can upgrade the Five Elemental World into a Greater Special World.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax kept the spatial gourd away and then looked at the fruits he collected from three threes. Soul Protection Fruits x 18. Elemental Ascendance Fruits x 2. Lesser World Fruits x 5. ''Let''s use them.'' After looking at them, Ajax thought of using them. ''Since my soul is connected to the Soul Nest, I don''t have to eat the Soul Protection Fruits.'' Ajax''s focus was on the two Elemental Ascendance Fruits as he muttered, ''Currently, Dark and Fire Elemental Spirits have already awakened their [Elemental Ascendance]. So, I don''t need to worry about them.'' ''Since there is a restriction on peak King Realm cultivation, I can give these two fruits to Bane and Cerauno.'' After looking around, Ajax called Cerauno and Bane before giving them two [Elemental Ascendance] A few days back, they learned from Volcanis and other elemental spirits who awakened their [Elemental Ascendance] about it and became excited. Without wasting any time, they ate the fruits and soon, the Lightning Energy and Poison Energy in their bodies surged ''Kacha'' After a couple of minutes, not only did they break through to the Emperor Realm but they also awakened their [Elemental Ascendance] with 1 percent of awakening. "Cerauno, refine a drop of Elemental Essence and re-connect with the [Tree of Blessing] to receive a special blessing called [Spirit Blessing]." Next, Ajax decided to let Cerauno receive the [Spirit Blessing], "With it, you can increase the percentage of your [Elemental Ascendance] by a random percent daily." "For now, there is only one slot; however, you don''t have to worry and only focus on your cultivation." Ajax could sense that the Elemental Spirits were worried that he might leave them and ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm with those elemental spirits who fully awakened their [Elemental Ascendance]. Therefore, Ajax took his time to exin and promise, "I promise that I will bring everyone with you no matter what." If it was before, Ajax would have hesitated to promise them; however, now, he has [Tree of Blessing] and a Dark Region that was filled with Darkfire Crystals or even other crystals. That''s right! Ajax felt that if he could enter the depths of Dark Region, he might find crystals simr to Darkfire but with different elements in them. ''Even if I can''t find them, there are Secret Cultivation Realms and ording to my father, they are filled with many cultivation resources. So, I might have my own fortuitous encounters.'' Ajax was always hopeful for the future and that''s why he was so positive about it; however, at the same time, he would be careful regarding the dangers in the future that''s why he maintains low key. ''Nevertheless, I should try to form contracts with Dark and Fire Elemental Spirits when I enter the Elemental Spirit World the next time.'' Since he could have a good supply of the Darkfire Cystals, Ajax thought it would be better to focus more on those two types of elemental spirits. Your gift is the motivation for my creation.

Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1665 Treasures From Lesser World Fruits ''Anyway, let''s see what''s inside these Lesser World Fruits.'' After sorting out the fruits from the other two trees, Ajax looked at the five Lesser World Fruits. Unlike regr fruits, these fruits were not for eating; instead, they were supposed to be broken like eggs. ording to his guess, most of these fruits contained Legend Grade treasure and the chances of getting a Mythical Grade treasure are very minimal. ''Kacha'' Without wasting any time, Ajax crushed one fruit after another without much expectation. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit and received 100 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit and received a Smaller World Core. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit and received a Heaven Grade Sword. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit and received 100 High-level Spirit Stones. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit and received a Normal World Core. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head and looking at the items he received, Ajax was pleasantly surprised before bing excited. Ajax didn''t have many expectations from the Lesser World Cores; however, among the five Lesser World Fruits, he received three useful items. ''Especially the 100 drops of nt Essence¡­it''s worth 100 billion trader''s tokens.'' Speaking price-wise, the nt Essence was the costliest item among the five items he gained followed by a Normal World Core which was worth between 1 billion to 100 billion trader''s tokens depending on the avability. Nevertheless, Ajax could use the Normal World Core and was fully satisfied with the rewards from the Lesser World Tree. As for the Sword and 100 High-level Spirit Stones, Ajax didn''t even bother to take a look at them. ''Once I collect more than 10000 drops of nt Essence, I wille back and nurture the [Tree of Blessing].'' Since he would be having an army of Elemental Spirits in the future, Ajax decided to focus more on the [Tree of Blessing] and as for the [Soul Nourishing Tree], for now, he felt it was at a good stage. ''Since he could protect my soul and even nourish it, it''s alright!'' Ajax was already careful enough and so, he hoped that he won''t die that easily but as a backup n, Ajax felt the current [Soul Nourishing Tree] is alright. Soon, he helped Cerauno connect to the second ability of the [Tree of Blessing] as he received two system notifications. ''Ding, The host''s lightning elemental spirit is connected to [Spirit Blessing] and receives his first blessing. ''Ding, Cerauno''s [Elemental Ascendance] increased by 9 percent and reached 10 percent. ''It must be because it was his first Spirit Blessing.'' Ajax was only surprised for a moment to see such a huge increment in the [Elemental Ascendance]; however, when knew the reason behind it. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at The [Tree of Blessing]''s first ability is yet to be used. Please select the elemental spirits you want to fill in those three slots. At the same time, the system reminded us about the tree''s first ability [Spirit Sanctuary] where the connected elemental spirits can revive upon their death with a cooldown of one year. "Cerauno, Volcanis and Necros. I choose them." Among all his elemental spirits, these three elemental spirits are considered to be strongest and Leo was nning to use them more in the future. Of course, he would be using his other elemental spirits; however, Ajax would let these three elemental spirits have their fun in the battle without worrying about death. Also, in the future, if the number of slots in the [Spirit Sanctuary] is upgraded, he would let other elemental spirits also join them. ''System, show me the list of elemental spirits that awakened the [Elemental Ascendance].'' After sending away Cerauno and Bane, Ajax asked the system. ''Ding, Elemental Ascendance of the elemental spirits. 1) Necros: 30.010 / 100 percent. 2) Volcanis: 30.001 / 100 percent. 3) Ignis: 30.001 / 100 percent. 4) Nite: 30.001 / 100 percent. 5) Dabrus: 30.001 / 100 percent. 6) Zen: 30.001 / 100 percent. 7) Cerauno: 10 / 100 percent. Among the 23 elemental spirits that formed contact with him, seven of them have awakened [Elemental Ascendance] and even without his help, as long as they continue to work hard, these elemental spirits could eventually awaken the [Elemental Ascedance] fully. ''So, I just need to focus on 16 more elemental spirits and as long as I nurture the [Tree of Blessing], it will take care of all my elemental spirits.'' Ajax had two options here. One, to take care of 16 elemental spirits along with the other elemental spirits that would be joining soon. Two, focus on nurturing the [Tree of Blessing] and the tree will take care of all those elemental spirits. Without a doubt, Ajax chose the second option and decided to pay for the thirdmission in the [Speical Notice Service Center]. ''Since I have nearly 400 trillion trader''s tokens, I can easily collect nearly 35000 drops of nt Essence with ease; however, I wonder whether I can get that many drops from all the traders in the Trader''s Realm.'' Previously, Ajax received 3200 drops of the nt Essence and most of them came from the individual or rogue cultivators and thest 1000 drops came from the [Special Notice Service Center]. So, Ajax doubted he could collect 10000 drops of nt Essence much less collecting 35000 drops. ''Anyway, let''s just post themission before I enter the Stormfire Wyvern World.'' Since he had already ced amission, Ajax thought to wait for a couple of days beforemissioning another one. Until then, he decided toplete the minor things that he nned toplete. ''I can enter the Elemental Spirit World just before entering the Floating Ind.'' Ajax nned his timeline, ''For now, I will enter the Five Elemental World and then go to the Greater Jade Dragon World before going to the Stormfire Wyvern World.'' ''Let''s go and help Mother-inw.'' Once he made a rough timeline of his goals, Ajax left the inner world with a single thought and with another thought, he teleported to the Five Elemental World. Chapter 1666 Meeting Elder Ren Again 1666 Meeting Elder Ren Again Five Elemental World, ''Swoosh'' With the help of his title [Emperor of the Worlds], Ajax could travel between his worlds with little to no restrictions. Therefore, with a thought, he could teleport from Normal Dwarven World to Five Elemental World. "Twilight, apany Sister Snow to the Thunder Hawk Tribe." After appearing in the Five Elemental World, Ajax summoned Twilight Dragon who was currently in his human form, a 10-year-old boy and Snow''s Soul. As the leader of the Thunder Hawk Tribe, Ajax could tell that Snow misses her tribe. It was also one of the reasons why he wanted toe to the Five Elemental World. However, since she was currently in the form of Soul Orb, she can''t protect herself. Therefore, Ajax decided to let Twilight apany her to the Thunder Hawk Tribe. "Leave Sister Snow''s protection to me, Brother Ajax." Little Twilight seriously nodded his head and assured Ajax not to worry about Snow. "Thank you, master." At the same time, Snow thanked Ajax and soon, she left for her tribe with Twilight. ''Father, are you sure you want to meet him?'' After sending Snow and Twilight away, Ajaxmunicated with the Soul Orb of his father. ''Yeah¡­I promised to meet him in 100 years; however, it''s been more than 3000 years.'' His father''s voice resounded in Ajax''s ears, making Ajax nod his head. "Fine then. He must be staying in his old cave. I will help you reunite." Without wasting any time, Ajax flew in a particr direction at an incredible speed, covering thousands of miles in a few minutes and appeared in front of an old-looking cave. "Elder Ren." Ajax didn''t enter the cave as he called his old acquaintance. Elder Ren was someone from a Greater Human World who focused on killing the demons and in one of his missions, his squad was ambushed and lost their lives except for him. Currently, he was recuperating from his old injuries and no matter how much Ajax wanted to help him with his injuries, Elder Ren won''t tell Ajax to heal him. In the past, Elder Ren helped him against a powerful King Realm Cultivator. So, Ajax wanted to help him; however, Elder Ren said that he needed help with returning to his world. However, he still didn''t say his world name and asked Ajax to be an Emperor Realm Cultivator first before he could say his request. At the same time, Ajax learned something else that made him thoroughly shocked and that''s the second reason he decided toe to the Five Elemental World. "It looks like you have already be an Emperor Realm Cultivator. Congrattions." Just as he called, a middle-aged man in red robes walked out of the cave along with Sumo, the Sun and Moon elemental spirit. At first, he was surprised to see Ajax bing an Emperor Realm Cultivator at a young age and soon, it turned into excitement because his chances of returning to his world increased a lot. "Thank you." Ajax thanked him before saying, "The reason why I came here to visit you is because someone wanted to meet you very badly." "Huh? Someone wanted to meet me? Who?" Elder Ren frowned at Ajax''s words as he asked about it. "Father, why are you noting out?" In the next second, a Gold-Coloured Soul Orb came out of Ajax''s body and appeared in front of Elder Ren. Seeing the Soul Orb, Elder Ren became alert; however, in the next second, he heard a familiar voice that he hadn''t heard for more than 3000 years. "We finally met, my dear disciple." The voice belongs to none other than Ajax''s father, Vaugh. That''s right! Ren was the one and only disciple of Aron Alpenswift, the fallen genius of the Human Region. After learning about his master being killed by the demons, Ren became the Second Demon Exterminator just like his master to kill all the demons in the universe. "Master." Looking at the Soul Orb, Ren could not help but be emotional as he tried to touch the Soul Orb; however, he was worried that he might injure his master. So, he retracted his hand. ''Kacha'' In the next second, there was a crisp sound from Ren''s body and soon, his entire body was covered in a powerful energy. "T-this is¡­.a Divine Rule." As someone who awakened three Divine Rules so far, how could he not know the energy around Ren''s body? "Father,e back." Coming out of his shock, Ajax hurriedly sends his father''s soul orb back into the inner world to rest under the Soul Nourishing Tree because the energy emitted by the Divine Rule was so powerful that it "Today must be my lucky day¡­Haha. Not only did I meet my master after three thousand years but I 14:34 have also awakened my first Divine Rule." could exterminate a soul orb in a few seconds. Also, Ajax knew that Ren didn''t release the power of his Divine Rule intentionally because it would bepletely different and there won''t be enough time for Ajax to send his father back into the Inner World. ''I think he sessfully used his cultivator''s soul to awaken the Divine Rule.'' Instead of saying ''He'', it could be said that his body unconsciously awakened a Divine Rule. "Today must be my lucky day¡­Haha. Not only did I meet my master after three thousand years but I have also awakened my first Divine Rule." On the other hand, after seeing that Ajax protected the soul orb, Ren startedughing excitedly. "Congrats, Elder Ren." For any cultivator, awakening a Divine Rule is considered a special day and a good-turning point in their life. So, Ajax was not surprised to see Ren, who always used to be calm and nonchnt, became so excited for the first time. Soon, he congratted Ren and said, "It is said good news alwayses in pairs." "Thanks." Ren nodded his head as he asked, "So, you are the son of my Master." "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and said, "If you retract your Divine Rule, I can let Father out and you two can have the conversation to catch up with each other." "I forget." In the next second, Ren retracted his Divine Rule and Ajax summoned his father''s soul orb. "Disciple, how did a genius like you awaken your first Divine Rule at an age of more than 30000 years?"

When Aron was alive, Ren had already be a King Realm Cultivator. It''s been more than 3000 years since Aron died and adding to the time he spent with Ren, Ren would be around 3500 years old now. Hence, Vaugh frowned upon his one and only disciple who awakened his first Divine Rule at the age of 3500 years. "I-its¡­.I had developed an inner world in my heart that didn''t let me use my Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Soul to awaken a Divine Rule." Hearing his master''s familiar stern voice, Ren stuttered in his words as he exined. "Inner Demon?" If Vaugh had a body, he would have a frowned expression on his face because he had used many cultivation resources to make sure his disciple didn''t develop any inner demons. However, now, his disciple was telling him that he had developed an inner demon. ''Wait a second¡­is it because of me he developed an inner demon?'' When he thought about it, Vaugh felt it seemed to be the reason and regretted, ''I never thought about him developing an inner demon because of my disappearance.'' "Even though it''s been longer than your promise, Master has sessfully returned. That''s all that matters to me. As for awakening a Divine Rule, I consider it as your return gift." With his reunion with his master, the inner demon in his heart finally disappeared in the next second, his main Cultivator''s Soul disappeared and awakened a Divine Rule. Hence, Ren was happy and exined to his master not to think much about his inner demon. "Master, after you disappeared, our Greater Earth World¡­." "Wait a second, Ren." Suddenly, Ren thought about something and wanted to speak about it; however, Vaugh interrupted Ren and asked him to wait before asking Ajax, "Ajax, you wanted to visit your Mother-inw, right? Go ahead." "Y-yes, father." Ajax was interested in what Ren was trying to say; however, he didn''t expect his father to ask him to leave. Nevertheless, he nodded his head and taking one final look at Ren, Ajax left the Master and Disciple pair alone to talk. "Let''s go inside and talk, Master." Soon, Ren and Vaugh''s Soul Orb enter the old cave and as for the details they were about to talk, Ajax had no idea about it. .... ''It looks like Father has not told me everything about his experiences as Aron.'' When Ajax heard Ren mention ''Greater Earth World'', he could tell that his father owned a Greater Earth World. ''Maybe he just didn''t want me to get involved in his revenge¡­sigh.'' If Ajax was in his father''s ce, he would have done the same thing as he wouldn''t involve his son to take revenge when the other party was so powerful. The other party that Akax assumed here was none other than the top five sects of the human region. Anyway, Ajax felt that he should know about it and help his father take his revenge on his own. ''As long as I help him create a body and provide him with enough cultivation resources, it would be only a matter of time before he has enough power to go against the sects to take his revenge.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stopped thinking about it and focused on his main reason foring to the Five Elemental World. ... In the Evergreen Forest, "Mother-inw, how old are you?"I think you should take a look at Without wasting any time, Ajax directly went to the Lesser World Tree in the Evergreen Forest and asked the lesser world tree''s age. "Hm¡­I don''t know. Maybe it''s been more than 500 years since I gained consciousness." The Lesser World Tree didn''t know its exact age, making Ajax use the system. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree is around 899 years old. ''899 years old? I just need to pour 101 drops of nt Essence.'' After learning the exact age of the Lesser World Tree in the Five Elemental World, Ajax poured 101 drops of nt Essence. "T-this is¡­.where did you get so much of Pure nt Essence, Ajax?" For a moment, the Lesser World Tree was surprised and without waiting for Ajax''s reply, she started absorbing the nt Essence on the ground with her roots. ''Slurp'' ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' In no time, the Lesser World Tree grew by more than 100 meters in height as it sessfully became a 1000-year-old tree. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree has be a 1000-year-old tree and awakened its first ability [Mother of Elves]. ''Huh? Different Ability?'' Ajax was not surprised by the Lesser World Tree unlocking a new ability; instead, he was surprised that the ability unlocked by his Mother-in-Law waspletely different from the ability unlocked by his Lesser World Tree. ''System, show me the full information about the ability.'' With a curious look on his face, Ajax asked the system to give him the details regarding the ability. ''Ding, Ability Name: Mother of Elves. Effect: Everyone 100 years, 1000 Elves will be born with at least one of them having an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. ''So, it will give birth to Elves and thus, the ability is called [Mother of Elves].'' Ajax nodded his head and thought that ability was good. It would be quite useful in creating powerful armies; however, it would take time. All newly born elves need to cultivate from the start and need to reach the Emperor Realm and it would take a minimum of 100 years. But, it''s alright! As time will pass by in a blink of an eye. ''Moreover, by having more drops of nt essence, one doesn''t need to wait for 100 years in reality.'' For example, if this Lesser World Tree reaches 2000 years in the next few months with the help of nt Essence, it would give birth to 10000 Elves. Among them, 10 of them would have Extraordinary Cultivation Bodies and could reach Emperor Realm in less than 30 years. As for others, they need around 100 years to reach Emperor Realm but then, these 10 Elves would awaken Divine Rules and could lead the rest of them to glory. Just thinking about that made Ajax look forward to his Mother-inw''s growth. Chapter 1668 Classification Of World Trees ''It was just a simple example; however, if the Lesser World Tree is nurtured to 5000 or 1000 years, my Mother-in-Law will be a top force that could go against the top sects in the human region.'' Of course, Ajax was only thinking about it and was not intending to do that anytime soon. It was because he already had so many things to do and it required a lot of cultivation resources including nt Essence. Hence, he decided to focus on helping his Mother-inw in the future. "Ajax, thank you very much." On the other hand, the Lesser World Tree checked the changes happening to it and thanked Ajax. "I will continue to help my Mother-inw in the future. I hope you can continue to take care of the entire Five Elemental World for millions of years." ording to the legends, Lesser World Trees were known to live for eternity. As long as the world is protected, the Lesser World Tree could live forever. In the future, when Ajax ascended to Heavenly Human Realm, Ajax hoped that the Lesser World Tree could protect the Five Elemental World and live on forever. Actually, what Ajax wanted to try was to connect all the worlds under his care with the Lesser World Tree. ''Before ascending, I should make that possible.'' With those thoughts in his mind, Ajax looked at the two Lesser World Fruits bore by the Lesser World Tree in front of him. ''I wonder what kind of treasures are stored in it.'' With the Lesser World Tree''s permission, Ajax picked those two fruits and expectantly looked at them. Especially the fruit that appeared when the Lesser World Tree reached 1000 years because he received 100 drops of nt Essence from the fruit he received from his Lesser World Tree when it reached 1000 years old. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (900 years) and received a smaller world core. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (1000) and received 100 drops of nt Essence. ''A smaller world core and another 100 drops of nt Essence.'' Ajax was excited with the rewards from the Lesser World Fruit as he looked at the nt Essence he still had with him. ''Ding, nt Essence: 310 drops. ''It''s like 100 percent cash back on what I spent.'' Ajax could not help but nod his head in satisfaction because he basically spent nothing. ''No¡­I spent 1 drop of nt Essence to get a Smaller World Core along with a good ability for my Mother-inw and 1000 Forest Elves. Not bad.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he felt it was a good deal. That''s right! The Lesser World Tree had already used her first ability to produce 1000 forest elves; however, they were still connected to the Lesser World Tree and had yet to take a form.I think you should take a look at "It will take six months to one year for them fully to disconnect with me. After that, they could start cultivating under me to be stronger with time." As Ajax was curiously looking at the small evil babies connected to the Lesser World Tree, his Mother-inw exined. "Mother-inw, when will you awaken your second ability? Is it when you reach 10000 years?" Ajax asked about the second ability. "Yes. If I am lucky, I might be a Standard World Tree." The Lesser World Tree replied and exined, "I don''t know about the other trees but for the World Trees, we are ssified into three grades just like the Worlds in this universe." "They are Lesser, Standard and Greater World and of course, the higher cared for the World Tree, the stronger the abilities of the trees and the more benefits it can give to the world it was in." "As I expected, there are grades for the World Trees also." From the names, Lesser World Tree, Ajax had long guessed there might be other grades and now, he got the confirmation. "So, are you saying a Lesser World Tree can be a Standard World Tree in 1000 years?" Ajax ingested the information about the trees and asked the Lesser World Tree. "There is a 50 percent chance; however, I heard that the chances will increase to 100 percent if the world tree consumes a Normal World Core and pure Essence of Nature from Supreme Grade Spirit Stones." "As for bing a Greater World Tree, a world tree should sessfully be a Normal World Tree first and at the age of one hundred thousand years, it has a 50 percent chance." "Of course, the percentage can be increased to 100 percent with the help of a Greater World Core and the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones." The Lesser World Tree exined everything that she knows about the upgradation of the World Tree, giving Ajax some new ideas. ''It looks like I should not only focus on the [Tree of Blessing] but also on the [Lesser World Tree].'' Even after learning about the [Lesser World Tree], Ajax didn''t change his decision to keep his full focus on nurturing the [Tree of Blessing] because of the Elemental Spirit Army he was going to create. As for the [Lesser World Tree], Ajax thought to nurture it because the rewards it was given to him through the Lesser World Fruits were great. So, what kinds of treasures would a Standard World Tree give to him? With those thoughts in mind, Ajax went to meet Siora and spent the entire day with her. After their trip to the Floating Ind, even though they didn''t spend much time staying next to each other, they became close. If possible, Ajax was even nning to ascend to the Heavenly Realm together with her and wanted to start a new life with her in the new realm. "Siora, after 10 days, I am nning to enter the Floating Ind. You will be joining me, right?" Ajax asked Siora to which she nodded her head with a beautiful smile. Time continued to pass as they spoke about their thoughts and future ns while holding hands, making Ajax''s mind which was always filled with many thoughts be rxed. "Brother, World Destroyer, the upgraded version of the Jade Pool is ready." Suddenly, a teleportation token flew out of his storage ring and transmitted Jade Dragonling''s voice. Chapter 1669 Entering Jade Pool Again 1669 Entering Jade Pool Again After learning that the upgraded version of the Jade Pool was ready, Ajax became a little excited. However, he didn''t rush to use the Teleportation Token to the Greater Jade Dragon World; instead, he talked with Siora for some more time before going into a special cultivation chamber inside the Lesser World Tree. ''Siora will take care of them if theye for me.'' Ajax briefly informed Siora about his visit to the Greater Jade Dragon World and asked her to inform his Father''s soul orb and Snow''s soul orb when theye for him. Also, he was not nning to stay in the Greater Jade Dragon World for long as he only had two main objectives. ''If everything goes as I expected, it would take around two days. So, it''s alright!'' With that thought in mind, Ajax activated the Teleportation Token in his hands and soon, a portal opened into which Ajax entered without any hesitation. ... In the Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' A portal appeared as Ajax walked out of it and felt a pure essence of nature hitting his body, making him enjoy the cool breeze in the world. ''I will wait for some time until Jade Dragonlinges to pick me up.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax started checking out his surroundings. Even though it was his second time entering the Greater Jade Dragon World, he was unable to check anything when he entered the first time because, at that time, he enteredpletely differently. Previously, with the restrictions from the Trader''s Realm, Ajax could not see anything in the world as his surroundings werepletely covered in mist. However, right now, he uses the Teleportation Token and doesn''t have such restrictions. ''Magnificent mountains with towering peaks covered in lush jade-green vegetation.'' Ajax started describing the environment around him as he flew into the air to get a good view and saw some flowing water bodies. ''On one side, there are ethereal rivers andkes, shimmering with spiritual energies and on the other side, enchanting jade-coloured forests sprawl across thend.'' It was Ajax''s first time entering a Greater World and moreover, it was a Greater Dragon World which was said to be much bigger than a Greater Human World. Therefore, he could not help but enjoy the feeling of stepping into the Greater Dragon World. "Brother World Destroyer," After a few minutes, Ajax heard a familiar voice from the distance and revealed a smile. It was none other than Jade Dragonling who flew towards Ajax at his full speed. "Brother World Destroyer, do you want to look around the world?" Seeing that Ajax was checking out his surroundings, Jade Dragonling asked about it. "It''s alright! I want to enter the Jade Pool and talk to your father about the Sentient me: Jade Fire." Ajax shook his head as he informed Jade Dragonling about the two reasons why he entered the Greater Jade Dragon World. Even though Greater Jade Dragon World might be beautiful and have many good ces to visit; however, these days, Ajax felt like he was running short on time. "Okay." Seeing the serious look on Ajax''s face, Jade Dragonling nodded his head and informed, "Currently, Father has entered the Trader''s Realm for a meeting with the Emperors of the Dragon Region. For now, Brother World Destroyer should just enter the Jade Pool." "Okay." Ajax nodded his head because he could not wait to upgrade his newly awakened Cultivator''s Souls with the help of Jade Energy. "By the way, are there any changes in the Jade Pool?" Since the Jade Pool was upgraded, Ajax wondered whether there were any changes to it. "Yes, I was about to exin them." Jade Dragonling nodded his head as he exined, "Instead of 24 hours, in the upgraded Jade Pool, a cultivator could only stay for 12 hours; however, the purity of the Jade Energy inside the Jade Pool was 10 times much purer than before." "Hence, the cultivation speed of a cultivator would be 10 times faster than before and even the high-level Emperor Realm Cultivators would want to enter it." "Oh¡­.good." Ajax was pleasantly surprised about it and looked forward to it. "Brother, I will see you after 12 hours. Happy Cultivation." Soon, they reached the region that was filled with mist as Jade Dragonling used some special artifact to create a way for Ajax to walk in. After that, Jade Dragonling sent Ajax into the Jade Pool giving his best regards. ¡­. Inside the Jade Pool, ''Ding, The host is close to the Jade Pool and absorbs 100 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, The host is close to the Jade Pool and absorbs 100 units of Jade Energy. . . . Just as he stepped into the mist, Ajax started receiving the system notifications that informed him that his body was passively absorbing the Jade Energy. ''Even before I step into the Jade Pool, I am passively absorbing the Jade Energy. I wonder how many units of Jade Energy I will get if I actively circte my Main Cultivation Technique?'' With a face full of expectation, Ajax slowly entered the Jade Pool ''Ding, The host entered the Jade Pool and absorbed 1000 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, The host entered the Jade Pool and absorbed 1000 units of Jade Energ The moment he stepped into the Jade Pool, his passive absorption increased by 10 times. ''Ding, The host entered the Jade Pool and absorbed 2000 units of Jade Energy. ''Ding, The host entered the Jade Pool and absorbed 3000 units of Jade Energy. However, he didn''t stop as he continued to walk to the center of the Jade Pool and with each step he took towards the center of the Jade Pool, his passive absorption increased by 1000 units until he got a specific system notification. ''Ding, The host''s Jade Space ispletely filled, (12000/12000). Please deplete the Jade Energy to continue absorbing more Jade Space. In just a few seconds, his Jade Space was filled even before he could start his cultivation in the Jade Pool. ''This upgraded version of the Jade Pool is excellent.''

Add to library£¡ Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1670 [Bonus ] Changes In The Jade Space ''This upgraded version of the Jade Pool is excellent.'' Seeing that his Jade Space was filled in just a matter of a few seconds, Ajax could not help but praise the upgraded version of the Jade Pool. Of course, Ajax also knew that his Main Cultivation Technique, [Dragon-Soraring Nine Heavens] was also ying an important role. ''Since both of my new Culivator''s Souls [Umbral Concealment] and [Nightmare Weaving] are at level 1 King Realm, I need 20000 units of Jade Energy to upgrade them to level 2.'' Ajax stopped walking for a moment and muttered, ''I can pay Jade Energy to upgrade myws or souls with partial payment. So, I can only spend on the Jade Space itself to expand¡­wait a second.'' Suddenly Ajax thought of something and muttered, ''Can I transform my Jade Energy to my Divine Spirit Consciousness?'' If it was a regr spirit consciousness, Ajax would have not bothered to give it a try; however, it was no longer a regr spirit consciousness; instead, it is a Divine Spirit Consciousness. Hence, Ajax thought of something to see whether his assumptions about the Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Let''s see how powerful the [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] is.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax sat in the center of the Jade Pool and decided to circte his God-level cultivation technique. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he circted the cultivation technique, the entire Jade Pool was filled with ripples as Jade Energy rushed into Ajax''s body. ''Huh? Why is my Divine Spirit Consciousness not filling up?'' After a few minutes, Ajax noticed that the number of units of the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness was not increasing. ''It looks like I was thinking so much.'' Seeing that there was no change in his Divine Spirit consciousness, Ajax thought to stop it and focus on upgrading the Jade Space. ''Huh? T-the Jade Space¡­it is changing.'' However, when he checked his Jade Space, he could see some major changes in the Jade Space and they were still happening. The first major change was its size, it was reduced by more than half. And the second major change was it was no longer in a pure jade colour. Instead, it had hints of golden colour around it and it continued to merge perfectly with the jade colour. ''Is this ....what I think it is?'' Looking at the changes happening to the Jade Space, Ajax had thought of something and became excited. ''Let''s see it to the end.'' ''Swoosh'' With a face full of excitement and expectations, Ajax started circting his Cultivation Technique to fasten the changes happening to his Jade Space. Time continued to pass and in a sh five minutes passed by. Even though the Jade Energy in the Jade Pool was rapidly absorbed by Ajax like a ck hole, there were no changes in the quality and quantity of the Jade Energy. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading the Jade Space into a Divine Jade Space. ''Ding, The 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature along with one million units of Jade Energy are consumed in the process of upgrading the Jade Space into a Divine Jade Space. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0/100 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at Divine Jade Space: 0 /100 units of Divine Jade Energy. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head, exining the changes happening in his body. ''As I expected¡­I knew it.'' Ajax was not surprised when he read the system notifications because he had already guessed it from the changes happening to his Jade Space. However, he was excited about sessfully converting the Normal Jade Space into Divine Jade Space. ''Even though all my Divine Essence of Nature was spent in the process, it''s worth it. So, I have noints.'' After nodding his head, Ajax decided not to waste his time and thought, ''Let''s fill the Divine Jade Space.'' [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] Soon, he got busy with filling his Divine Jade Space after asking the system about how many units of Divine Jade Energy he needed to upgrade the King Realm Cultivator''s Souls. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the pure Jade Energy rushed into his body and at the same time, Ajax received the system notifications regarding the required Divine Jade Units to upgrade the cultivator''s souls. ''Ding, For King Realm Cultivator''s Souls: 1) From level 1 to level 2: 20 units of Divine Energy. 2) From level 2 to level 3: 30 units of Divine Energy. . . . . 9) From level 9 to level 10: 100 units of Divine Energy. 10) From level 10 to level 1 Emperor Realm: 1000 units of Divine Energy. ''Ding, The host absorbed 100 units of Divine Jade Energy by actively circting the Cultivation Technique. ''Ding, Either deplete the Divine Jade Energy or upgrade your Divine Jade Energy to absorb more Divine Jade Energy. Other than the required units of Divine Jade Energy''s exnation, the system informed Ajax that his Divine Jade Space was filled. ''What? 100 units of Divine Jade Energy per minute?'' At first, Ajax was shocked because he was expecting around 5-10 units of Divine Energy per minute; however, his Divine Jade Space was filled in a single minute. So, how could Ajax not be surprised by it? ''It looks like the Jade Energy in this Upgraded Version of the Jade Pool was much purer than I expected.'' Even though his cultivation technique was ying a great role in the absorption of the Divine Jade Energy if his surroundings didn''t have the Pure Jade Energy, his absorption speed won''t be this fast. ''Even though I can upgrade my three King Realm Cultivator''s Souls with these 100 units of Divine Jade Energy, what I want to focus on right now is upgrading its capacity.'' It''s been less than 10 minutes since he entered the Jade Pool and had already absorbed so many units of Jade Energy; however, there was still no change in the quality and quantity of the Jade Energy in the Jade Pool. ''System, I will spend my Divine Jade Energy to upgrade my Divine Jade Space.'' Chapter 1671 Infinite Jade Energy? 1671 Infinite Jade Energy? ''System, I will spend my Divine Jade Energy to upgrade my Divine Jade Space.'' Since he still had more than 11 hours left in the Jade Pool, Ajax decided to upgrade the Jade Space to at least a thousand units. So that, he could easily upgrade his Cultivator''s Souls to the Emperor Realm in a single go. The upgrade mechanism for the Divine Jade Space remains the same as that of the Divine Space. For every 10 units of Divine Energy he spent on the Divine Jade Space, one unit of capacity will be increased in the Divine Jade Space. The host has spent 100 units of Divine Jade Energy on the Divine Jade Space and upgraded its capacity to 110 units. ''Circte'' After upgrading it, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he circted his cultivation technique for a minute to get another 100 units of Divine Jade Space. ''Ding, The host absorbed 100 units of Divine Jade Energy by actively circting the Cultivation Technique. ''Ding, The host has spent 100 units of Divine Jade Energy on the Divine Jade Space and upgraded its capacity to 120 units. ''Ding, The host absorbed 100 units of Divine Jade Energy by actively circting the Cultivation Technique. ''Ding, The host has spent 100 units of Divine Jade Energy on the Divine Jade Space and upgraded its capacity to 130 units. . . . For one minute, Ajax would circte his cultivation and in the next moment, he spent the 100 units of Divine Jade Energy to increase the capacity of the Jade Space. After 11 minutes, the capacity of his Divine Jade Space upgraded to 200 units. However, Ajax didn''t stop the process and he already decided to upgrade it till the capacity of the Divine Jade Space reached 1000 units. 22 minutester, the capacity of his Divine Jade Space was upgraded to 400 units. 44 minutester, the capacity of his Divine Jade Space was doubled again and upgraded to 800 units. 88 minutester, ''Ding, The host''s Divine Jade Space has been upgraded to 1600 units. When he received the system notification, Ajax opened his eyes to check the quality and quantity of the Jade Energy in the Jade Pool. ''Even though I was absorbing so many units of Divine Jade Energy, there was hardly any change in the Jade Energy around him. This Upgraded Jade Pool was 1000 times better than the old Jade Pool.'' The more time he spent in Jade Pool, the more he praised the Upgraded Jade Pool. While absorbing the Divine Jade Energy and using it to upgrade his Divine Jade Space, Ajax was keeping an eye on the Jade Energy around him because his main objective of entering the Jade Pool was to quickly upgrade his Cultivator''s Souls. Nevertheless, Ajax felt that his Divine Jade Space was very less and wanted to have at least 1000 units. However, in less than three hours, Ajax was able to upgrade the capacity of his Divine Jade Space from 100 units to 1600 units. Now, he could upgrade all his cultivator''s souls to peak King Realm in a single go. ''The upgradation of the Divine Jade Space is enough. Now, it is time to focus on the cultivator''s souls.'' Even though Ajax upgraded his Divine Jade Soul to 1600 units, it was currently empty. Hence, he started circting the God-level Cultivation Technique to fill it up. ''Swoosh'' Time continued to pass and it took exactly 16 minutes to fill his current Divine Jade Space. ''It''s time to upgrade the cultivator''s souls.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax looked at his three cultivator''s souls. ''Ding, 1) Orb of Death, Dark/Death (Level 1 King Realm). 2) Nightmare Weaving, Dark (Level 1 King Realm). 3) Umbral Concealment, Dark (Level 1 King Realm). ''Upgrade, my Orb of Death to Emperor Realm.'' Without thinking much, Ajax ordered the system to upgrade his very useful but hasn''t yet used the cultivator''s soul to Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The host spent 20 units of Divine Jade Energy and upgraded [Orb of Death] to level 2 King''s Realm. . . . ''Ding, ''Ding, The host spent 100 units of Divine Jade Energy and upgraded [Orb of Death] to level 10 King''s Realm. ''Ding, The host spent 1000 units of Divine Jade Energy and upgraded [Orb of Death] to level 1 Emperor''s Realm. The reason why he entirely focused on upgrading the [Orb of Death] was that he was unable to upgrade it with the Mid-level or High-level Dark Crystals because it was a dual elemental soul. Moreover, Ajax was curious about the Divine Rule awakened by the [Orb of Death]. As Ajax received the system notifications, he was enjoying the feeling of his cultivator''s soul bing stronger at a rapid pace. ''Let''s not waste the Divine Jade Energy on the pure Dark-type cultivator''s soul and fully focus on the [Orb of Death].'' Originally, Ajax thought he should just use the Jade Energy to upgrade the other two cultivator''s souls to Emperor Realm because the more Dark Crystals he used on them, it lowers the efficiency of the crystals on the souls. Nevertheless, when he thought about it, he felt it was alright as he could just use more Dark Crystals to increase their level; however, it was not the case of the [Orb of Death]. ''Even though it''s been quite a while since I got this [Orb of Death], it stayed at level 1 King Realm because it''s very hard to increase its level through regr cultivation.'' This was the conclusion he came to before focusing on upgrading the Divine Jade Space. Since he needed 2000 units of Divine Jade Energy to upgrade his [Orb of Death] to the next level, Ajax could only upgrade his Divine Jade Space. ''Now, let''s go back to the repeating process and upgrade the Divine Jade Space.'' Even though it was tiring to repeat the same cultivation process, Ajax was not tired of it because it was making him powerful. So, he executed his n. ¡­.. Outside the Jade Pool, ''Even though Father only asked me to use 100 high-level Jade Crystals, I don''t think he would be angry when he finds out that I spent 1000¡­no 1500 with thetest 500 crystals I added.'' ''Or will he be furious?'' Jade Dragonling thought about it and shook his head, ''Father said to keep the Jade Pool full of Jade Energy for the full stay of Brother World Destroyer inside the Jade Pool for 12 hours.'' ''So, he won''t scold me.'' Before the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, Jade Dragonling''s father left for the meeting, he left his capable son in charge of taking care of Ajax during his stay in the Jade Pool. He also said that Ajax should be mesmerized by the pure Jade Energy inside the Jade Pool so that they could have more deals in the future. That''s why, the Jade Dragon Emperor gave the ess to his son to throw some High-level Jade Crystals into the Enhancing Jade Formation which was the source of Jade Energy inside the Jade Pool. However, just one hour after Ajax entered the Jade Pool, the Jade Dragonling noticed that the energy levels in the Jade Pool dropped and he started throwing High-level Jade Crystals into the formation. ''Brother''s cultivation speed is as fast as father''s or even a little faster. No wonder, my father said Brother Destroyer will be a powerful cultivator in the future.'' Chapter 1672 Rewards PrizePool 1672 Rewards PrizePool As for the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, he didn''t have any idea that his capable son was on the spending spree of the High-level Jade Crystal. Currently, he was busy in a meeting with the other members of the Dragonheart Society regarding the uing trial for their youngsters in the Dark Region. "So what type of trial shall we have for our youngsters?" As one of the members of the Dragonheart Society, the Great Jade Dragon Emperor could send one of the participants for the trial, he was curious about the trial and asked the other members. "Let''s go with the regr trial like always. The one who collects more Darkfire Crystals will be the winner and all the rewards will be given to him/her." An old man who had an ancient aura around him spokezily and said, "As for the second ce and third will be allowed to undergo the body tempering with three Sentient mes of their liking." "The remaining seven participants could only try their luck next year." After finishing his words, he took a gold-coloured fruit out of thin air and informed, "From my side, I will give this Divine Dragon Fruit. I don''t think you guys need any exnation on this treasure, right?" ''Old Blood is very generous this time that he finally took a Divine Dragon Fruit.'' ''As far as I know, it will be borne by the Divine Dragon Tree for every 1000 years and consuming it can help any dragon below the age of 100 years, awaken a Divine Rule rted to our Dragon Race.'' ''It looks like Old Blood is betting on his great-grandson who recently ascended to Emperor Realm.'' ''Since he took out such special mythical grade treasures, I am very sure he wants others to bring out more or less simr grade treasures.'' ''What a cunning old b*stard.'' The ones close to the old man named Old Blood praised him in their hearts and as for the others, they cursed him because they already knew the reason why he was willing to take out such a rare treasure. It was a custom for the 10 members of the Dragonheart Society to select one young dragon with good potential each and let thempete with one another in a trial. Also, each member has to take out a treasure and will make it a prize pool of 10 items. The winner gets all the prizes whereas the second and third ce members would get some constion prizes whereas the remaining could only ept their loss and either participate in the next trial if they were lucky or just give up and focus on their cultivation. "I will add 10 Giant Darkfire Crystals to the prize pool." Prince Dakon took 10 crystals out of his space ring to show others about it. That''s right! Prince Dakon was one of the members of the Dragonheart Society because his world also has a Sentient Fire and thanks to the contributions of his Ancestor, the Stomrifre Wyvern World became a member of the Dragonheart Society despite being a Normal Dragon World. "I will add 100 top-quality Bloodline Awakening Pills to the Prize Pool." The Great Jade Dragon Emperor thought about it and decided to give 10 percent of the Bloodline Awakening Pills that he received from Ajax. Even though the Darkfire Crystals and the Bloodline Awakening Pills are not as valuable as the Divine Dragon Fruit, they have their own value and no one wouldin about it. "I can spare a Heavenly Dragon Meridian Fruit." "A 100-year-old Lesser World Tree." . . . Soon, one after another, a member of the Dragonheart Society started bringing out one of the treasures and added them to the Reward PrizePool for the uing trial. "Good. Let''s start the trial in 10 days as we nned and if you want to change the participants, you can do it until thest day as I know some of you don''t want to reveal your participants till the end." The leader of the Dragonheart Society, the old man named Old Blood nodded his head as he reminded others about another rule. "Since the discussion regarding the Trial is over, shall we talk about some serious matters regarding the humans?" Seeing that everyone nodded their heads, Old Blood started talking about other things as the special trader''s lounge in the Trader''s Realm became heated with their discussions. ¡­.. In the Greater Jade Dragon World, Time continued to pass and in a sh, the time limit of 12 hours for Ajax inside the Jade Pool was able toe to an end. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Jade Space ispletely filled with Divine Jade Energy. ''Ding, Either deplete or spend the Divine Jade Energy to absorb more. ''Ding, Divine Jade Energy: 10000 / 10000 units of Divine Jade Energy. When he received the series of system notifications, Ajax opened his eyes with a bitter smile on his face. Even though Ajax was able to upgrade the capacity of the Divine Jade Space to 10000 units, he won''t be able to upgrade the [Orb of Death] to the level 10 Emperor Realm. ''System, upgrade it to level 9.'' Since he can''t do anything about it, Ajax stopped bothering about it as he knew he was working hard for thest 12 hours. ''Ding, The host spent 9000 units of Divine Jade Energy and upgraded his cultivator''s soul [Orb of Death] to Level 9 Emperor Realm. ''I still need 9000 more units of Divine Jade Energy to upgrade it; however, I would need around 90 minutes.'' Ajax knew he only had less than 30 minutes left inside the Jade Pool and after that, he needed to leave it ording to the condition. ''But the Jade Energy in the Jade Pool still remained the same.'' Ajax was unable to believe that; however, he thought, ''Since it is full of Jade Energy, I should trade for another 12 hours inside the Jade Pool.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax went back to absorbing the Jade Energy as he wanted to absorb as much Jade Energy as possible before the time limit. Your gift is the motivation for my creation.

You spent 5000 High-level Jade Crystals?" Looking at his son, the Great Jade Dragon Emperor asked with a bitter smile on his face. "Yes, Father. I made sure that Brother World Destroy felt that we had infinite Jade Energy inside the Jade Pool." Jade Dragonling righteously replied, making his father unsure whether he should be happy or sad. ''There is no use in crying over the spilt milk. As long as that human sells more World Cores and Giant Fire Crystals, spending 5000 High-level Jade Crystals is worth it.'' Even though High-level Jade Crystals were not very rare, they are quite valuable outside the world. So, it was only painful for a moment as the Jade Dragon Emperor thought about the future deals with Ajax. "Anyway, the Trial is confirmed and so the rewards are." After thinking for a moment, the Jade Dragon Emperor informed his son, "Are you sure you don''t want to participate in it?" "I am just at Dragon King Realm and you know I can''t participate ording to the rules." Jade Dragonling''s happy mood turned sour as he added, "Anyway, I don''t n to break through to the Emperor Realm anytime soon." "Why don''t you want to be one? Aren''t you going to inherit the Great Jade Dragon World and the worlds connected to it?" The Jade Dragon Emperor looked at his son and seriously asked; however, his son didn''t reply and avoided the question by checking out their surroundings. ''Sigh'' In the past, his son used to be a genius in the entire Dragon Race; however, after reaching the King Realm, he didn''t cultivate properly for some reason. No matter how much he and his wife tried to find the answer, they were unable to find it, making them helpless. "Do you want to hear the rewards prize pool for the trial this year?" However, the Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t give up as he tried to tempt his son with the rewards for the trial so that he could get some motivation for future trials when he breakthroughs to the Emperor Realm. "Divine Dragon Fruit, 10 Giant Darkfire Crystals, Heavenly Dragon Meridian Fruit,...." Soon, Jade Dragon Emperor said the ten items in the rewards prize pool that the winner of the trial could get. "There¡­he ising out." Soon, the father and son duo saw Ajax walking out of the Jade Pool. "He is no longer hiding his face!" The Jade Dragon Emperor was pleasantly surprised to see Ajax was not wearing any mask. In short, he concluded that Ajax trusts them, making him heave a sigh of relief. "Brother, how did it go?" Jade Dragonling curiously asked Ajax. "It went much better than I expected. Thank you." Ajax thanked Jade Dragonling and at the same time, he turned to Jade Dragon Emperor and also thanked him. "Haha¡­there is no need to thank us as we are doing an equal trade." Jade Dragon Emperor liked Ajax''s personality as heughed out loud as he said, "In the future, let''s continue to have more deals and exchange our resources." "Of course, we should do that." Ajax was nning to enter the Jade Pool again to upgrade his Cultivator''s Soul and turn them into Divine Rule. Therefore, he readily agreed to the Jade Dragon Emperor''s suggestion. "By the way, can I stay for another 12 hours, if possible? Of course, I will pay in return." Before the father and son duo could reply, Ajax took out a Normal World Core he gained from one of the Lesser World Trees. "T-this¡­." Jade Dragon Emperor''s heartbeat increased when he saw the Normal World Core in Ajax''s hand; however, he suppressed the urge to take the World Core from Ajax and shook his head. "Even though I wanted to let you enter the Upgraded Jade Pool for a full day, I can''t do it because the formation of the Jade Pool would be destroyed if it was used for more than 12 hours." "The Jade Pool should be closed for at least 15 days for the regr function." Ajax was surprised that the Jade Dragon Emperor; however, when he heard the exnation, Ajax understood and nodded his head. "Okay." Ajax was not surprised about it as he asked, "How about I reserve that chance of entering the Jade Pool now? I will give you the Normal World Core right away." Ajax knew he would continue to use the upgraded version of Jade Pool thanks to the benefits it was giving him. Moreover, he trusted the father and son duo; otherwise, he would not have revealed his face in the first ce. "It''s alright! You can pay the Normal World Core after 15 days." The Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t take the Normal World Core as he agreed to Ajax''s words. "Sure." Ajax was more than happy as he could use the World Cores for his breakthrough. "By the way, Sir Jade Dragon, you are talking about a trial. Can you tell me what it is about?" When he came out of the Jade Pool, Ajax heard the Jade Dragon Emperor talk about the trial with his son and he became curious about it after learning about the rewards. Each one of those rewards could make all the human cultivators go crazy; however, Ajax was interested in [Divine Dragon Fruit]. Consuming a Divine Grade fruit was one of the requirements to convert his regr spirit cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation and he wondered whether that fruit was a Divine Grade fruit or it just had the word ''Divine'' in its name. Moreover, Ajax felt that it was the same trial that Prince Dakon mentioned and wanted to know more about it. "Huh? You want to know about the trial?" The Jade Dragon Emperor thought about it for a moment before saying, "It''s not a heavenly secret and even the top sects in the human region knew about the trial. So, I can tell you." "It is a trial for the Young Divine Dragons that were chosen by the members of the Dragonheart Society." "Huh? Divine Dragons?" Ajax raised his brows and asked, "If it was a trial for Divine Dragons, why are you asking Jade Dragonling? Isn''t he a normal Jade Dragon?" Before the Jade Dragon Emperor could finish his words, Ajax interrupted and asked a question. "Who told you that he is a normal dragon?" With a proud look on his face, the Jade Dragon Emperor continued, "He is my son. So, of course, he will be a Divine Dragon just like me." "What? You are also a Divine Dragon?" Ajax got double shocks as he looked at the father and son duo and tried to calm himself. "Aren''t Divine Dragons rare?" As far as Ajax knew, Divine Dragons are rare and it''s been ages since a Divine Dragon appeared. However, right now, two Divine Dragons were standing in front of him. ''Ding, Both the father and son duo are the Divine Dragons but their control over their Divine Aura was top-notch that could fool even the peak emperor realm cultivators. At the same time, the system informed him the reason why Ajax was unable to tell they were Divine Dragons until now. ''Wait a second¡­Divine Aura can be controlled? I need to know how they were able to do it so that Twilight can move around with me without any worries.'' Chapter 1674 Jade Dragon Gods Statue Chapter 1674 Jade Dragon God''s Statue When Ajax saw the system notification, the first thing that came to his head was Twilight. Twilight evolved into a Divine Dragon and could even retract his Divine Aura; however, it was not to the level of Jade Dragon Emperor and his son Jade Dragonling. Therefore, Ajax wanted to know about the trick or technique to fully retract the Divine Dragon to full even the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators and Dragons. "Yes, the Divine Dragons are rare; however, it was in the past." The Jade Dragon Emperor chuckled as he exined, "100000 years ago, one of our Dragon Ancestors found a method to reproduce the dragonlings with Divine Aura." "Slowly, he used that method to slightly modify some of the Legend Grade cultivation techniques and made it mandatory for all the Divine Dragons to cultivate at least one of those cultivation techniques." "Not only will it make our descendants into Divine Dragons but we could hide our Divine Aura as you might have already known how the Humans and Demons want to get their hands on a Divine Dragon¡­dead or alive." Since Ajax started trusting them, the Jade Dragon Emperor also wanted to show his trust to Ajax and shared one of the secrets of forbidden secrets of the Dragon Region. Moreover, recently, he had a bad premonition that the other members of the Dragonheart Society were forming a secret alliance with one another to take control over the other Sentient mes. Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t have much interest in the Sentient mes the worlds he was managing; however, he wanted his son to not suffer when he ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Originally, he nned to make his preparations to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm; however, for some reason, his son was not focusing on cultivating. He could not trust the other dragons who were eyeing his worlds and the resources in them. So, he hoped that Ajax would help his son when the timees and protect him from the dangers. "So, are you saying that there were many Divine Dragons in the Dragon Region?" Ajax was already shocked to see two Divine Dragons in front of him; however, from the Jade Dragon Emperor''s exnation, he could tell there were many Divine Dragons in the Dragon Region. So, how could he not be shocked? "ording to my guess, there would be at least 100000 Divine Dragons in the entire Dragon Region and it would continue to increase with time." Jade Dragon Emperor gave the rough number; however, Ajax was no longer shocked as he also guessed the number to be around 100000. "Brother World Destroyer, this is the secret information that should not be divulged to the outside world. I hope you don''t share this information with others." It was Jade Dragonling who requested Ajax not to share the information with others. "Of course, I know." Ajax knew how mysterious the Dragon Region was and there was only little avable information about them to the Humans or the Demons. Even that information was too limited to only the people at the top level of the race. For example, Wingo knew about a couple of things because he was prime minister of the Golden Demon Territory and his master knew about it because he was close to Prince Dakon but hadn''t spoken for decades. Therefore, Ajax nodded his head and assured the father and son duo that he won''t divulge a single thing he learned today. "Jade Dragon Emperor, can you share the cultivation technique on how a Divine Dragon could control its Divine Aura and also make sure that their descendants will also be Divine Dragons?" After hesitating for a moment, Ajax asked about the cultivation techniques modified by the Dragon Ancestor for the Divine Dragons. "T-this¡­I can''t share this with non-dragons as we all have taken oath on the Dragon God to not share those cultivation techniques with anyone other than the Dragons." The Jade Dragon Emperor shook his head. "It can''t be shared with non-dragons? It''s fine. You can share it with your fellow dragons, right?" When he heard the Jade Dragon Emperor''s words, Ajax was not disappointed; instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Huh? Fellow Dragons?" The father and son duo raised their brows. "Can you give me another Teleportation Token? I will bring someone with me." Ajax didn''t bring Twilight with him because he didn''t know that the Divine Dragons were not rare in the Dragon Region. Hence, he asked for another Teleportation Token so that he could bring Twilight with him. "Here. This Teleportation Token will allow two people to enter my world." Since they have already built mutual trust with each other, the Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t mind giving another Teleportation Token to Ajax. "I wille back soon." Without wasting any time, Ajax used his old Teleportation Token to return to the Five Elemental World and quickly returned to Greater Jade Dragon World with Twilight. "You have a Divine Dragon?" The moment the duo saw Twilight, they could instantly tell that Twilight was a Divine Dragon. Moroever, it was a powerful onepared to the descendants of the Divine Dragon. It was because Twilight was a natural Divine Dragon and didn''t inherit that power from his parents. "I can give him one of the modified cultivation techniques; however, he needs to be epted by the Dragon God." The Jade Dragon Emperor informed Ajax about the procedure and Ajax agreed to it. Soon, the Jade Dragon Emperor brought Ajax and Twilight to the innermost chamber of his pce where there was a majestic Dragon God''s Statue made up of pure Jade Stone. Moreover, it looked so real that Ajax felt it might jump onto him at any time. "Since you are a human, you might feel¡­. never mind." As Jade Dragon Emperor was about to warn Ajax, he saw Ajax look perfectly fine, making him abruptly end his warning. "Little Twilight, go and ce your hands on the Dragon God''s statue and if you get the acknowledgement of the Dragon God, you will automatically receive a suitable cultivation technique." Hearing that, Twilight excitedly walked forward and ced his hands. ''Kacha'' However, in the next second, cracks started appearing on the statue, making everyone in the hall get shocked. Chapter 1675 Jade Essence Burst The Jade Dragon God''s statue was considered a special item that was left by one of the Jade Dragon Emperor''s Ancestors. However, now, the statue has cracks on it and the cracks were spreading at a rapid speed like a spider web. "How is this possible?" The Jade Dragon Emperor was shocked and became anxious when he saw how so many cracks appeared on the Jade Dragon God''s Statue. "Huh? What is that? Another statue?" Just when the Jade Dragon Emperor was about to stop removing Twilight''s hand from the statue, he saw something under the cracked statue, making him stop what he was nning to do. Soon, the outeryer of the Dragon God''s Statue turned into pieces, leaving behind an exquisite statue of the Dragon God. Even though it looked simr to the previous statue with the outeryer, it was a little bit smaller but looked more real. ''What''s happening?'' On the other hand, when he saw the cracks appearing on the statue, he nearly had a heart attack because he thought he had to pay for the statue whose cost was unknown. However, when he saw another statue that was more exquisite and real than the previous, Ajax believed things were going smoothly. Nevertheless, he didn''t understand what was happening. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, arge amount of pure energy burst out of the exquisite statue. ''Ding, The host has absorbed 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, please deplete it or use it to absorb more units of the Divine Essence of Nature. The moment therge wave of the essence of nature was released by the statue, Ajax received a notification that pleasantly surprised him. ''I will spend it all on the Divine Spirit Consciousness to upgrade its capacity.'' Without any hesitation, Ajax chose to upgrade his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. ''Ding, The host spent 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by one unit. ''Ding, The host has absorbed 101 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, please deplete it or use it to absorb more units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Just as he spent the Divine Essence of Nature and upgraded the capacity, his Divine Spirit Consciousness was filled yet again in a second, making Ajax became excited. ''It looks like I should use this opportunity to increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax no longer wasted any time and directly started focusing on it. Passive Absorption, +100 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Consumption, -100 units of Divine Essence of Nature, +1 units increment in the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. Passive Absorption, Consumption, . . . As Ajax was busy upgrading his Divine Spirit Consciousness, the Jade Dragon Emperor and his son also felt the pure Jade Essence of Nature. ''Kacha'' [Mid-level King Realm]I think you should take a look at Even though Jade Dragonling didn''t bother to cultivate, due to the pure Jade Essence of Nature and with his intentionally stalled cultivation for many years, he broke through and became a Mid-level King Realm. ''It is the blessing of the Ancestor.'' Seeing that his son broke through to the mid-level King Realm, the Jade Dragon Emperor became excited and hurriedly bowed to the exquisite statue in front of him. ''Kacha'' ''T-this is¡­.'' At the same time, the Jade Dragon Emperor heard a crisp sound from his body and immediately frowned. ''No¡­no..no¡­it should not happen¡­yet.'' The previous excitement on the Jade Dragon Emperor''s face disappeared as he became anxious about something. ¡­. The pure Jade Essence of Nature released by the statue was covered by the entire Greater Jade Dragon World and everyone in the world was experiencing breakthroughs. Especially, the old dragons who were either stuck in their cultivation or lost hope broke through to the next major realm or minor real, making them excited. Even after their breakthrough, no one bothered to waste any time in sharing the good news; instead, they focused on stabilizing their cultivation and hoped to break through to the next realm at the same pace. Compared to the old Jade Dragons, the young Jade Dragons were having many benefits as they were not only breaking through in their re-cultivation but were also evolving with the dense Jade Essence of Nature. ''His Highness is very generous.'' They don''t know how so much pure Jade Essence of Nature appeared in their world out of nowhere; however, they knew the source of the Jade Essence of Nature. It was from the pce of the Jade Dragon Emperor and of course, everyone thought it was the doing of the Jade Dragon Emperor. All the inhabitants of the Greater Jade Dragon World had a good impression of their emperor and after today, it reached the point where they were willing to even give their lives for the Emperor. ¡­. Time continued to pass as the pure Jade Essence of Nature in the Greater Jade Dragon Worldsted for an entire hour. After one hour, even though the quality of the Jade Essence of Nature decreased, it was a little bit better than the regr Essence of Nature in the world before the phenomena of the [Jade Essence Burst]. In short, the level of the Greater Jade Dragon World upgraded by at least one level after the phenomena. ¡­. Inside the inner chambers of the Jade Dragon Emperor''s Pce, ''Damn it¡­why did I break through twice in a row in my cultivation?'' When everyone was excited about their breakthroughs, Jade Dragonling was different as he cursed his double breakthrough in a row. His cultivation increased from the low-level King Realm to the peak High-level King Realm in just an hour. From this one could guess how insane Jade Dragonling''s cultivation speed was and how expectant the Jade Dragon Emperor was of his son. But, he lost interest in cultivation after bing the King Realm for some unknown reason. ''Phew¡­I was lucky enough to increase my Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity so much in just one hour.'' As for Ajax, he heaved a sigh of relief and was excited about the benefits he got. ''Rumble'' Just as Ajax was about to ask the Jade Dragon Emperor about the phenomena, a powerful rumbling sound resounded in his ears. ''Ding, The Jade Dragon Emperor has triggered the Lightning Tribtion to ascend to Heavenly Bestial Realm. Chapter 1676 [Bonus ] The Real Reason Behind Ascension Ding, The Jade Dragon Emperor has triggered the Lightning Tribtion to ascend to Heavenly Bestial Realm. ''What? Triggered the tribtion?'' Hearing the system notification in his head, Ajax was shocked as he looked at the Jade Dragon Emperor who was having an uneptable look on his face. At the same time, Ajax felt like the Jade Dragon Emperor seemed to be aged as his ck hair turned grey as though he was worried about something. ''It looks like he was not ready for the Tribtion yet.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after seeing the worried look on the Jade Dragon Emperor''s face. Any cultivator, whether it was a human cultivator or a bestial cultivator like Jade Dragon Emperor, they have to reach the peak emperor realm and have a fully awakened Divine Rule to summon a Tribtion. Ajax guessed that the Jade Dragon Emperor might have already awakened his Divine Rule by 80 to 90 percent or even higher. As for the remaining percentage, it must be increased by the pure Jade Essence released by the exquisite statue of the Jade Dragon God. Of course, the Jade Dragon Emperor has awakened Divine Jade Rule and with the pure Jade Essence, it was fully awakened in just a single hour. "Congrattions, Sir Jade Dragon." Ajax stopped thinking about those things as he hurriedly congratted Jade Dragon Emperor. "..." Jade Dragon Emperor looked at Ajax and bitterly nodded his head. "What? Fa-father, you triggered ascension tribtion?" When he heard Ajax''s words, Jade Dragonling was shocked and hurriedly asked his father about it. "Yes, son." Jade Dragon Emperor nodded and exined with a heavy heart, "My Lightning Tribtion will descend in exactly 45 days." "What? How is this possible? Didn''t you say that you will only ascend to Heavenly Bestial Realm after I be an Emperor Realm Cultivator?" Tears rolled down the chubby cheeks of the Jade Dragonling as he questioned his father. "Wait a second¡­how did you know that?" Suddenly, the Jade Dragon Emperor realized something as he said, "Don''t tell me the reason why you are not interested in cultivating was because you don''t want us to leave you?" Thinking about this, the Jade Dragon Emperor felt that everything makes sense now as he finally understood why his capable son had lost interest in cultivation and it was because Dragonling overheard his parent''s discussion regarding ascension. "..." Jade Dragonling didn''t answer his father as he continued to cry. "Son, I know how you feel about our ascension; however, it is just a temporary separation. If you work hard, we can meet again in 100 years or even less than 1000 in the Heavenly Bestial Realm." Jade Dragon Emperor tried to exin to his son as he continued, "Moreover, if you ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm soon after my and your mother''s ascension, we three can go on adventures in the Heavenly Bestial Realm."I think you should take a look at "Most importantly, we can gain immortality in the Heavenly Bestial Realm." . . . "But, Father, I heard something else about the Heavenly Bestial Realm." When the Jade Dragon Emperor was saying the good things about the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Jade Dragonling carefully listened with tearful eyes. However, he didn''t believe all of them as he asked, "ording to the Blood Dragonling, the Heavenly Bestial Realm is much cruel than this realm and death is everywhere in that realm." "Sigh." Hearing Jade Dragonling''s words, the Jade Dragon Emperor was shocked for a moment before sighing at his words as he didn''t expect his son to be really capable of gathering information. Even though what he said to his son was not wrong, he intentionally left out some main points like losing lives at any time, much more cruel than this universe and other parts. "Fine¡­I will tell you some important things about the Heavenly Bestial Realm and why one must ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm." Seeing that his son had done enough research about the Heavenly Bestial Realm, the Jade Dragon Emperor decided to reveal something that only the top powerhouses like him would know. "Human, you should also listen about it as it Heavenly Human Realm and Heavenly Bestial Realm are more or less the same and the only difference was, one was exclusively for beasts whereas the other one was for beasts." The Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t forget about Ajax as he asked him to pay attention to his words before starting his exnation. "In the Heavenly Realm, a cultivator will have an infinite lifespan unless he or she gets killed by others. The cultivation resources in those realms are very valuable and how powerful you can be in that realm? You can be God¡­you heard it right, you can be Gods as long as you cultivate." "However, the reason why I and my wife were nning to enter the Heavenly Bestial Realm was not to be Gods; instead, we are nning to pave a way for you, my dear son," Jade Dragon Emperor became emotional as he said, "By the time you ascend, we wanted to be powerful so that, when you ascend you don''t have to suffer much in the initial stages of the Heavenly Bestial Realm." "But, I don''t want you to do that because you might die in the process." Jade Dragonling replied with his crying face as he said, "If I work hard for another 100 or 200 years, I would have ascended with you." However, Jade Dragonling knew it was toote now as his parents have already triggered the tribtions and would be ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm after 45 days. "Sorry, Son." Even if it was possible, Dragonling''s parents would have not ascended together with their son because they didn''t want their son to struggle in the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Generally, all the rogue cultivators, whether it was a beast or a human or a demon, everyone wants to ascend to the Heavenly Realms in search of more power and resources." "However, the descendants of those who ascended to the Heavenly Realms, have no choice to ascend because we are being called by our Ancestors who sessfully ascended." "If we fail to do so, they will be angry and won''t give us the benefits like Jade Pool and other things that they were giving us." Chapter 1677 The Real Reason Behind Ascension (2) "What? You canmunicate with your Ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm?" "What? The Jade Pool was blessed by the Ancestors from the Heavenly Bestial Realm?" Both Ajax and Jade Dragonling were shocked because they had never heard of such a thing before. "I can''t say it''smunication but in a way, it can be considered asmunication." The Jade Dragon Emperor exined, "Every time someone ascends to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, the portal between the realms would open and the ascenders who were satisfied with the aplishments of their descendants, they would receive the benefits from their ancestors through that portal." "If they were dissatisfied with their descendants, they would take back the rewards they bestowed or seal them for some time to teach us a lesson." "Just like how I received a Jade Pool, the other Dragon Emperors received some special resources from their Ancestors and as for the human, you must know about the Secret Cultivation Realms, right?" While exining, the Jade Dragon Emperor looked at Ajax and asked about the Secret Cultivation Realms belonging to the Sects. "Yes." Recently, Ajax learned about them from his father and was even nning to enter them. So, he nodded his head. "Those realms were filled by the cultivation resources and those resources were nurtured and ced by those Ancestors. If at least one of the cultivators from those sects are not ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, those Secret Cultivation Realms will be sealed for long, making it impossible for them to ess it." "Without resources, we can''t protect ourselves from others and eventually lose everything including our lives and if we are lucky we might be fallen cultivators'' whose hearts were filled with inner demons." "In short, the life of those rogue cultivators is much better as they don''t have any external pressure. Of course, they can''t enjoy these benefits from their ancestors." . . . The Jade Dragon Emperor''s exnation was lengthy; however, Ajax listened to them with full attention because it was the most valuable information that can''t be found anywhere. Even his master, Mostror, was not willing to say all these things right now because he was worried Ajax might think too much about it and can''t focus on the cultivation. ''So, the source of these Secret Cultivation Realms are the cultivators who ascended to the Heavenly Realms.'' Ajax finally got an answer to one of his questions as he wondered, ''What about Floating Ind? Was that a treasure from the Heavenly Realm too?'' Of course, Ajax didn''t ask about the Floating Ind; instead, he just thought to himself about it. "From time to time, they would give us some missions regarding the cultivation resources in this universe and Sentient mes were the result of that." On the other hand, the Jade Dragon Emperor continued to speak as he gave examples, "ording to them, all 100 Sentient mes are avable in the depths of the Dark Region. Once all of them are collected, it will be much easier for everyone to ascend to the Heavenly Realms." Later, he talked about the Legendary Myth behind the Sentient mes and the reason why they were doing Dark Region exploration. . . .I think you should take a look at After a few minutes, Since the Jade Dragon Emperor and his wife would be undergoing the Lightning Tribtion before ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he wanted to exin to his son as many things as possible. As for Jade Dragonling, he knew he could no longer stop their parents from leaving him, hence, he could only listen to all those things and remember them. ''I will ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm as soon as possible and meet you.'' In his heart, Jade Dragonling swore to himself as his passion for cultivation re-ignited once again as he decided topletely focus on his cultivation after his parents'' ascension to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. ''It looks like the descendants of the Ascendant Beings are enjoying lots of benefits.'' On the other hand, Ajax silently muttered to himself. Even though the Jade Dragon Emperor said it was pressure, from his perspective, it was not. ''Also, the Heavenly Realms are not peaceful just like I expected.'' Ajax had long guessed that no matter which realm cultivators enter, it would be a dog-eat-dog realm. At the same time, Ajax mentally took notes of many things that will be useful to him in the future. "Human, as long as you promise me to take care of my son until you ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm, I will give you the Special Teleportation Token to the Greater Jade Dragon World." After exining everything, the Jade Dragon Emperor requested Ajax, "Of course, you can enter the Jade Pool 10 times in the future." "I will also give 100 High-level Jade Crystals per month as a payment for the protection of my son." "He is just like a brother to me. Even if you didn''t ask me, I would help him." Even though their rtionship started with a business deal, Ajax benefited a lot from their transactions. Elder Boron taught him to repay even for the smallest help he received as long as it won''t kill it. Therefore, Ajax didn''t think much as he epted the Jade Dragon Emperor''s request and at the same time, Ajax didn''t stand on the ceremony while epting the items. ''Phew.'' When he saw Ajax take the Special Teleportation Token, 100 high-level Jade Crystals, the Jade Dragon Emperor heaved a sigh of relief. Because he believed that Ajax would definitely not go back on his words after taking the payment. "Also, if you need anything, just feel free to ask me within the next 45 days. I will try my best to get it for you." The Jade Dragon Emperor had many worlds under his control and his influence in the entire Dragon Region would be in the top 20. Moreover, with the appearance of the Tribtion Cloud over his world, his influence would rapidly jump into the top 5 without a doubt. Therefore, he wanted to use that influence to help Ajax get the things he needed. At the same time, he had nned things for his son in his absence. Chapter 1678 Draven And Jaed Whether it was a human cultivator or a Beast, as long as they ascended to the Heavenly Realm, their status changed to the next level. Even though it won''t be on par with the Ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Realm, it would be high enough for everyone to curry favour with the ones that were able to undergo Lightning Tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, it was the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, one of the most powerful Dragons in the Dragon Region and hence, his chances of passing the Lightning Tribtion were very high. Also, while ascending to Heavenly Bestial Realm, the protal connecting to the Heavenly Bestial Realm would be opened and it was a good chance for them to receive valuable resources from their ancestors. Therefore, the Jade Dragon Emperor was confident enough that he could get almost whatever he wanted within the next 45 days. "T-this¡­" Even though Ajax was thick-skinned most of the time, he was embarrassed for a moment to ask for more help from the Jade Dragon Emperor. ''So, be it. I will be more serious in protecting his son and helping him in the future.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax asked, "Can I get nt Essence? As many drops as possible and a Divine Grade Fruit." The reason why Ajax dared to ask for the Divine Grade Fruit was because he believed the chances of it being with the Dragons are morepared to the human cultivators. It was because, in the Dragon Region, there were thousands of Elven Worlds and so, obviously, Ajax believed that they might have umted a lot of nt essence and some Divine Grade Fruits. Hearing Ajax''s request, the Jade Dragon Emperor was surprised and thought about it for a moment before saying, "We have 10000 drops of nt Essence in the treasure and I can collect at least 100000 drops of nt Essence or even more if I am lucky." "10000 drops and another 100000 drops of nt essence?" Even though Ajax expected the Greater Dragon Worlds in the Dragon Region would have lots of nt Essence, he didn''t expect them to umte so many drops of nt Essence. However, when he thought about it, Ajax was not surprised much. Earlier, when hemissioned for nt Essence, he only got 3200 drops of nt Essence and Ajax could tell that at least 50 percent of that would havee from the rogue cultivators and the remaining drops might be some small and mid-level sects who were in urgent need for the funds. However, he was sure that almost all of them belonged to the Human Region because the Dragon Region was strict with rules and they wouldn''t openly sell the resources like that. So, if human rogue cultivators could collect around 1500-2000 drops of nt Essence, it won''t be shocking for the top powerhouse of the Dragon Region to have hundreds of thousands of drops of nt Essence or even millions if possible. "As for the Divine Grade Fruit, there are none and if there were some, no one would give it away as they have heaven-defying benefits to the consumer." Jade Dragon Emperor continued, "If you are lucky, you might find them in Secret Cultivation Realms belonging to the sects." ''Secret Cultivation Realms.'' To achieve most of his goals, Ajax only had a single solution and it was the ''Secret Cultivation Realms''.I think you should take a look at "Sir Jade Dragon, are there no Secret Cultivation Realms in the Dragon Region?" ''Since the Human Ancestors blessed their descendants with the Secret Cultivation Realms, what about the Dragon Ancestors? Can''t they bless their descendants some?'' This was what Ajax had thought in his head when he asked the Jade Dragon Emperor. "There are none. Maybe the Secret Cultivation Realms might be the creation of the Humans in the Heavely Human Realm." The Jade Dragon Emperor shook his head as he exined, "For me, the Jade Dragon Ancestor has blessed this Jade Pool which was considered a Quasi-Divine Grade treasure." "Simrly, all those Secret Cultivation Realms are also Quasi-Divine Grade Treasures. As for the other treasures in the Dragon Worlds, they have their own uses; however, I can''t tell you about them." "It''s alright! Sir Jade Emperor." Ajax didn''t mind about it as he had already gotten a lot of information and at the same time, he informed, "By the way, my real name is Ajax." "Don''t call me Sir any more, call me Uncle Draven." The Jade Dragon Emperor shook his head as he told him his name before saying, "With your talent, you might ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm within 100 years and it goes the same for my son Jaed. It will be good if you two can ascend together." The Jade Emperor smiled when he said that as he looked at Jade Dragonling who was no longer crying and became serious about cultivation. ''Aargh'' Suddenly, Ajax and others heard the painful groan and noticed that Twilight, who was currently in his 10-year-old human form, fell to his knees. "Twilight, are you alright?" Soon, Ajax rushed to Twilight and checked on him. "Ajax, it''s amon reaction after receiving the blessing from the Jade Dragon God. He must have already received a modified Legend Grade cultivation Technique." Seeing the worried look on Ajax''s face, Draven informed Ajax, "By the time he wakes up, his Divine Aura will bepletely retracted." "Thank you, Uncle Draven." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked the Jade Dragon Emperor. "No..no¡­no¡­it is me who needed to thank you. If you didn''t bring Twilight to this world, who knows how many centuries it would have taken for this world to be a Level 6 Greater World and the reason behind my capable son''sck of interest in cultivation. Thank you for everything." Not only did he trigger the Lightning Tribtion, but his wife also triggered and the entire world was upgraded by one level along with countless Jade Dragons that broke through in their cultivation. Hence, Draven was not embarrassed to thank Ajax as he said, "Therefore, I have decided to select Little Twilight as a participant in the uing trial." Chapter 1679 [Bonus ] Thorough Analysis Of Jade Crystals "Really?" Hearing the Jade Dragon Emperor''s words, Ajax was surprised. Actually, he was thinking of asking whether Twilight could participate in the uing trial for the sake of the Divine Dragon Fruit. However, from Jade Dragon Emperor''s Words, Ajax could tell that it was not a Divine Grade fruit; instead, it was a special Mythical Grade Fruit. So, he didn''t ask about it. Nevertheless, the Jade Dragon Emperor had decided to let Twilight participate in the uing trial. "Of course, to participate in the trial, not only the participant needs to be a Divine Dragon he should also be an Emperor Realm Dragon." Draven revealed a slight smile on his face, "If you can help him break into the Emperor Realm, I will let him participate in the uing trial, what do you say?" "Sure." Ajax didn''t even bother to think about the condition set by the Jade Dragon Emperor because he had already nned to help Twilight be an Emperor Realm Beast. "By the way, the trial is in 10 days. Are you sure you can do it?" Even though the Jade Dragon Emperor knew Ajax was mysterious and capable, he didn''t expect Ajax to readily ept the challenge he set. Therefore, he thought about it and informed the date of the uing trial. "It''s not a problem." Ajax already knew that the trial was the same trial that Prince Dakon had informed him about Moreover, it was Ajax who was going to clear the high-level Darkfire Wraiths and Drakfire Wraith Leaders in the Dark Worlds where their trial would be taking ce. So, Ajax nodded his head with a face full of confidence. "I will take my leave now as I have some things to take care of." Since the main reason why he entered the Greater Jade Dragon World waspleted, Ajax didn''t want to waste any more time there as he had already received so much knowledge along with many benefits. "Okay." Draven nodded his head as he informed, "Make sure youe to this world on the ninth day itself as we can go together to the trial zone." "Yes, Sir." Soon, Ajax took Twilight into his arms and returned to Five Elemental World using the Special Teleportation Token with a face full of smiles. He wanted to give the Jade Dragonling some time with his parents who were both ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm at the same time. Of course, he didn''t forget to take all the rewards that the Jade Dragon Emperor had promised him and were avable at a particr moment before returning to Five Elemental World. "Twilight, let''s go." As soon as he entered the Five Elemental World, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he decided toplete his goals one by one before the Jade Dragon Emperor and Empress ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. This was the time limit that Ajax had set for himself toplete most of his goals like taking revenge in the Floating Ind, Unlocking Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation and umting as many cultivation resources as possible for the future.I think you should take a look at ''Swoosh'' With a single thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness entered the Inner World along with Twilight''s physical body. He ced the sleeping Twilight in the Grade 7 Dark Elemental Paradise and at the same time, ordered the system, "System, do a thorough analysis on the Jade Crystals I have on me." Along with the 10000 drops of nt Essence and 100 high-level Jade Crystals that the Jade Dragon Emperor promised to give him, Ajax shamelessly asked him for 100 low-level and mid-level Jade Crystals along with a Giant Jade Crystal which Draven gave to Ajax with some hesitation. From this, Ajax knew that even the Jade Dragon Emperor didn''t have many Giant Jade Crystals; however, it won''t be a problem for Ajax as the system could merge them after its thorough analysis. ''Ding, 1 low-level, 1 mid-level, 1 high-level and 1 Giant Jade Crystal has been consumed. ''Ding, It takes three hours toplete the thorough analysis of the Jade Crystals. The sess rate is 99.99 percent. Soon, the system notifications resounded in Ajax''s head. ''Until then, I will nurture my trees.'' With an excited look on his face, Ajax rushed towards the [Lesser World Tree] as he decided to nurture it to 10000 years. ''Even though I also want to nurture the [Tree of Blessing], I feel nurturing the [Lesser World Tree] is the wisest thing to do.'' The Lesser World Tree has its own benefits and from the Lesser World Fruits, he would not only get world cores but nt essence. If he could nurture the Lesser World Tree for 10000 years, he could get 900 Lesser World Fruits and even if 10 percent of those fruits gives him 100 drops of nt Essence, he would nurture his [Tree of Blessing]. ''Even if I am unlucky and didn''t get any nt essence from the lesser world fruits. I will get another 100,000 drops of nt Essence from Uncle Draven. So, it won''t be a problem.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax felt that he was doing the right thing. ''Also, if everything goes right, I will have a Normal World Tree.'' Looking at the huge tree that was giving him ancient vibes, Ajax thought about it on a positive note. That''s right! With 10000 drops of nt Essence in his hands, Ajax was nning to not only increase the age of the tree but at the same time, he was also nning to evolve his Lesser World Tree into a Normal World Tree. It was also one of the reasons why he chose to nurture the Lesser World Tree over the other two 1000-year-old trees in his Inner World. ''Let''s go.'' After putting an end to his thoughts, Ajax opened the spatial gourd and started pouring the nt Essence. "Zoe, pick the Lesser World Fruits for me." At the same time, he order the tree spirit and handed her a normal world core, "Also, when the tree reached the 10000th year, use the Normal World Core to evolve into a Standard World Tree." Chapter 1680 Mythical Grade Treasures "Master, are you nning to evolve me?" Zoe was pleasantly surprised to see Ajax giving it a Normal World Core and excitedly asked him. As the consciousness materialized by the Lesser World Tree, she had awakened some of her ancient memories on her growth and she knew how to evolve into the Standard World Tree. "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and said, "So, you better be careful andplete your evolution after you pick all the Lesser World Fruits for me." "Yes, master." Zoe seriously nodded her head and hurriedly entered the tree with the Normal World Core. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the lesser world tree shot into the endless sky and after reaching one point, they didn''t grow in height; instead, the top branches started covering the sky. In just a couple of minutes, the world tree has covered half of the sky in the inner world. ''Ding, The host''s [Lesser World Tree] has reached 2000 years old and the duration of the Lesser World Fruits has increased from 100 to 1000 years. Ding, Every time the tree bore a Lesser World Tree, it is guaranteed to have a Mythical Grade Treasure in it. When the tree reached 2000 years old, there were some changes; however, Ajax was already focused on nurturing the tree to 10000 years old. Therefore, he didn''t stop as he continued to pour the nt Essence on the ground for the Lesser World Tree to absorb. ''Swoosh'' The top branches of the tree continued to spread in a spherical shape. ''Ding, The host''s [Lesser World Tree] has reached 5000 years old and bore an Eternal World Fruit along with a Lesser World Fruit. When it reached 5000 years old, Ajax saw a dark green fruit on one of the hundreds of branches of the tree which was plucked by one of the branches before cing the fruit beside Ajax. ''Eternal World Fruit¡­name sounds good.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he continued with his work of pouring the nt Essence into the tree. However, Ajax didn''t see another Eternal World Fruit when the tree reached 6000 years. ''Maybe it will appear when the tree bes 10000 years old.'' Ajax only thought about it for a brief moment before resuming his work. ''Ding, The host''s [Lesser World Tree] has reached 9999 years old and it is trying to use a Normal World Core to evolve into a Standard World Tree. ''Swoosh'' After pouring 9000 drops of nt Essence, Ajax saved the 1000 drops forter as he moved back to witness the evolution process of the Lesser World Tree. ''Even though it is the lowest grade World Tree, it still looks majestic with its branches reaching towards heaven and roots delving deep into the ground.'' Ajax could not help but awe at his Lesser World Tree which was still growing at a rapid rate. ''I hope it could sessfully evolve into a Standard World Tree.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly what kind of benefits he would get from a Standard World Tree, he knew they would be good and worth all his investments. Time continued to pass as the branches of the Lesser World Tree continued to grow in all directions covering the entire Inner World. As the tree was growing at a rapid pace, the quality of the Essence of Nature in the Inner World continued to increase. Even without the Elemental Paradises and the Bestial Paradises in the Inner World, it could beparable to a mid-level Normal World and if they were added, it could bepared to a level 2 or 3 Greater World. ''Ding, The thorough analysis of the Jade Crystals isplete. ''Ding, The host can start merging the low-level Jade Crystals with Giant Jade Crystals.I think you should take a look at Even after three hours, the Lesser World Tree didn''tplete its evolution; however, the thorough analysis of the Jade Crystals isplete. ''It looks like my Lesser World Tree will take some time to finish its evolution. I should just focus on my other work; instead of waiting for it.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to merge the Jade Crystals as he looked at the Lesser World Tree that was still growing and decided to leave the Inner World for now. ''Of course, I should check out all these fruits before leaving the inner world.'' Ajax didn''t forget about the Lesser World Fruits lying beside him. Soon, he started crushing them as the system notifications rang in his head. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (1100 years old) and received 100 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (1200 years old) and received a smaller world core. . . . . ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (2000 years old) and received a Greater World Core. From the ten Lesser World Fruits, Ajax received: 1) Four Smaller World Cores. 2) Two Normal World Cores. 3) One Greater World Core. 4) 100 drops of nt Essence. 5) Two Legend Grade Weapons. Ajax tossed aside the weapons and added the 100 drops of nt Essence into the Spatial Gourd. ''There are still another seven Lesser World Fruits which are guaranteed to give the Mythical Grade Treasures.'' Soon, Ajax started another round of crushing the Lesser World Fruits as system notifications rang in his head. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (3000 years old) and received a Greater World Core. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (4000 years old) and received 1000 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (5000 years old) and received a Giant Life Crystal and Giant Death Crystal. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (6000 years old) and received an Elemental Ascendance Fruit. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (7000 years old) and received a Life Essence Pearl. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (8000 years old) and received a Giant Lightning/Thunder Crystal. ''Ding, The host crushed a Lesser World Fruit (9000 years old) and received a Profession Upgrade Crystal. Each one of those Lesser World Fruits gave something that made Ajax shocked and soon, he became excited. Chapter 1681 Alchemy Emperor All the items he got from the Lesser World Fruit were quite useful to him in one way or another. A Greater World Core, to increase his cultivation and to increase his Divine Rules. 1000 drops of nt Essence to nurture the trees. Giant Life and Death Crystals are simr to Giant Dark and Fire Crystals that can be used to upgrade the Divine Rules or help his elemental spirits awaken the [Elemental Ascendance] An Elemental Ascendance Fruit which can help an Elemental Spirit awaken its [Elemental Ascendance]. Life Essence Pearl is one of the main treasures for the creation of an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. Giant Lightning/Thunder Crystal was the same as the Giant Dark Crystals. As for thest item, Profession Upgrade Crystal, Ajax had never heard of such an item. Hence, he checked the information on it. ''Ding, Item Name: Profession Upgrade Crystal. Grade: Special Mythical. Use: Using this crystal, a cultivator could gain insights into the next grade in one of their professions like Alchemy, Weapon Refining, Formations and so on. Note: The profession can''t be upgraded above Emperor Realm. ''One grade? Let''s use it and upgrade my profession to be an Alchemy Emperor.'' Even though Ajax could tell what from its name, he confirmed it with the system''s information and decided to use it without wasting any time in case he forgot to use itter. ''At times, Alchemy was quite useful as one never knew when they needed it.'' If he could be an Alchemy Emperor, even the top sects of the human region had to be respectful to him and give some face. Even though it still won''t be a guarantee that they won''t hunt me down for revealing the secrets, Ajax wanted to be on good terms with the sects after learning about the Secret Cultivation Realms. ''As long as I live long, I can easily create a force that is more powerful than those sects; however, before I can create my own force like sects, I need to be as powerful as possible.'' When he learned about how the ascended beings could still stay in touch with the cultivators from this realm, Ajax thought of leaving some sect or an organization of his own before ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. It was because Ajax guessed that there might be a reason why the Ascended Cultivators were so adamant about their descendants regarding ascending to the Heavenly Realms. ''Also, I need someone to look after my worlds.'' Currently, Ajax only has four Normal Worlds, Normal Dwarven World, Normal Elven World, Normal Human World, and Five Elemental World. By the time he ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, he guessed that he might have more worlds. Of course, he was not counting the world from the demon region as he purely saw it from the point of getting more world cores without the powerhouses of other regions noticing it. ''Anyway, let''s think about these things in the future.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax used the [Profession Upgrade Crystal]. ''Ding, The host has started using a [Profession Upgrade Crystal]. ''Kacha''I think you should take a look at As soon as he received the system notification, the crystal in his hand was broken and in the next second, a small portal opened above his head. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax was covered in golden light rays that came from the portal as foreign knowledge and alchemy insights followed into Ajax''s head. The process continued for an hour as Ajax was gaining insights into bing an Alchemy Emperor. [Select any three Emperor Grade Pill Recipes you know. If you can''t select, you will receive the knowledge about three random Emperor Grade Pill Recipes] Suddenly, Ajax heard a female voice in his head. It sounded quite simr to the voice of his mother-inw; however, it was much more soothing to hear and there was a hint of Divine Aura in that voice. ''I will select a Soul Protection Pill recipe and as for the other two, just give whatever you see fit.'' Since Ajax has the 18 Soul Protection Fruits, he thought of the Soul Protection Pill recipe. As for the other two pill recipes, Ajax didn''t know exactly which one he had to select. Therefore, he left the other two pill recipes to fate. If he could gather the ingredients for them, he would try refining those pills in the future, if not, if could just find another emperor-grade pill recipe to refine. For Ajax, as long as he bes an Emperor Realm Alchemist, he doesn''t care about anything else because, with the system, he could slowly and steadily gain proficiency in the pills he wanted to refine. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he selected a pill recipe, the voice no longer said anything to him as more and more insights regarding the Soul Protection Pill recipe and the other two pill recipes entered his mind. The process went on for another hour before the portal above Ajax''s head disappeared. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a High-level Alchemy Emperor. ''Ding, The host has insights into the following three Emperor Grade Pill Recipes. They are: 1) Soul Protection Pill: This pill protects the cultivator''s soul from an attack higher than the emperor''s grade. One cultivator can consume only one pill and their soul could block one attack. 2) Heaven''s Mandate Pill: This pill helps cultivators increase their chances of sess in ascending to the Heavenly Realm by 10 percent. 3) Emperor''s Enlightenment Pill: This pill grants cultivators profound insights into the Dao, allowing them toprehend higher-level cultivation techniques,ws, souls or even Divine Rules and reach new realms of power. Looking at the three pill recipes, Ajax was not surprised because he already knew what pill recipes he learned. ''Even though I know the pill recipes, it would be quite difficult to find the ingredients for the [Heaven''s Mandate Pill] and the [Emperor''s Enlightenment Pill].'' Ajax was neither happy nor sad; instead, he was calm. He had not only acquired the knowledge but he also got the bearing and aura of a High-level Alchemy Emperor. ''With these pills and my other cultivation resources, I can help many cultivators ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' Chapter 1682 Eternal World Fruit Heaven''s Mandate Pill can make a cultivator not worry about the Lightning Tribtion. Even though thetter pill could only increase the sess rate of the ascension by 10 percent, it was very huge for a cultivator. Soul Protection Pill can protect the soul and as long as a cultivator''s soul is alive, it could condense a new body to have a go at the Lightning Tribtion for the second time. Thest pill, Emperor''s Enlightenment Pill, could give an opportunity for the cultivators to directly awaken a Divine Rule. Therefore, Ajax felt that once he could start refining these three pills, he could be invincible and with time, he could create a powerful force in the universe. "Soul Protection Pill requires Soul Protection Fruit, Astral Sea Salt, Soulguard Root, any Sentient me and a huge amount of Essence of Nature. Astral Sea Salt and the Soulguard Root are costly; however, they are not rare as I have seen them in the Auction Halls a few times." After learning the insights of the Soul Protection Pill, Ajax knew all the ingredients and he even knew substitute ingredients that can rece the main ingredients. "I only need a Sentient me as all Emperor Grade Pills are refined by the Sentient mes." Ajax frowned as he started thinking of a substitute for the Sentient me. With his current connections, even though Ajax could easily gain ess to the Stormfire and Jade Fire, it was a little inconvenient for Ajax. Since the Jade Emperor would be busy with the preparations for his ascension, Ajax didn''t ask about Jade Fire; however, Ajax had already nned to temper his body with it when he entered the Greater Jade Dragon World. As for the Stormfire, since Ajax would be helping Prince Dakon with the uing trial, he would easily gain ess to the Fire Chamber in the Stormfire Wyvern World. However, he could not go to those Fire Chambers again and again and even if he went, he could not stay for a long time as he would only be an inconvenience for others. ''Even though I can use the Divine me Rule in ce of the Sentient mes to refine the Emperor Grade Pills, I can''t use the Divine me Rule for more than 10 minutes which is not enough to refine a single batch of pills.'' Ajax shook his head and thought, ''Compared to the ingredients for the other two pills, I should just find a Sentient me that I could own.'' Of course, finding a Sentient me was not easy otherwise, everyone in this universe would have be one already. Nevertheless, Ajax knew where to search for and was confident in finding them once he became a Divine Spirit Cultivator and a Divine Body Cultivator. ''Not only can I get more World Cores, Darkfire Crystals and other types of crystals but I can also get Sentient mes and other treasures in the Dark Region.'' At first, no cultivator was willing to risk their lives by entering the Dark Region; however, when the Ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Realms ordered their descendants, the cultivators could not help but take some risk only to find rare Cultivation Resources, Sentient mes, Cultivation Techniques and other valuable things. Therefore, the exploration of the Dark Region became one of the main objectives of all three Regions. ''The deeper I enter the Dark Region, the more benefits I will get. Of course, the dangers will also drastically increase; however, with my Divine Cultivations, I can survive or in the worst case scenario, I can escape if my opponent is very dangerous.'' Ajax has three Divine Rules with one of them having an awakening percentage of 20, he could even go against the peak Emperor Realm cultivators who awakened the Divine Rules. However, he wanted to y safe and wanted to only start the exploration after he sessfully converted his Spirit Cultivation and Body Cultivation into Divine Cultivations.I think you should take a look at ''Other than the Lesser World Fruits, the Lesser World Tree bore another fruit when it reached 5000 years. Let''s check the information on it.'' Looking at the dark green-coloured fruit, Ajax kept his previous thoughts aside and checked the information on it. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Eternal World Fruit. Grade: Mythical Grade. Effect: Consuming this fruit will extend the lifespan of a cultivator by 5000 years and it makes the consumer look young until he or she dies. Note: Only Emperor Realm Cultivators should consume it. Information: A rare fruit that has only a 10 percent chance of this fruit appearing on the Lesser World Tree. ''What? It''s not 500 but 5000 years, right?'' Ajax rubbed his eyes when he saw the shocking effect of the Eternal World Fruit. For a cultivator, lifespan was very important because most of his time would be spent on cultivating and in a blink of an eye, a cultivator''s life woulde to an end. If they failed to break through in their cultivation, they would die even before triggering the Lightning Tribtion for the ascension. For them, 5000 years of additional lifespan was considered second life because not everyone would be lucky to escape with their souls and reconstruct a new body. ''But, it can be obtained by everyone in 5000 years. So, I can only have a limited number of fruits.'' Ajax carefully ced the Eternal World Fruit in a jade box forter use. Currently, Ajax already has a life span of nearly 10000 years and when he bes a Divine Body Cultivator, it would be doubled and he could live for 20000 years with an Emperor Realm Cultivation. So, 5000 years doesn''t matter much to him; however, he could give the fruit to someone who needs it in the future. ''Otherwise, I can just exchange it for some other rare Mythical Grade Fruit from the other Dragon Emperors.'' Once Ajax was confident in his strength, he could no longer bother to hide his wealth and would openly exchange for the cultivation resources to make himself and the force behind powerful. ''I could not wait for that day toe.'' Thinking about that, Ajax could not help but be excited. Chapter 1683 Divine Death Rule With thetest resources added to his inventory, Ajax had a total of: 1) 2311 drops of nt Essence. 2) 15 Smaller World Cores. 3) Ten Normal World Cores. 4) Two Greater World Core. ''Who said nurturing world trees is very costly? The returns from that tree are also very generous.'' Ajax didn''t add the Giant Crystals and only checked the basic level cultivation resources. ''I only need seven more Greater World Cores to check whether I can merge them into a Divine World Core or not.'' Ajax merged the 10 Normal World Cores into a Greater World Core and increased the number of Greater World Cores he collected to three. Even though Ajax wanted to use a Greater World Core to increase one of his Divine Rules, he controlled his urge because he had something else to check first. To convert his Spirit Cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation, he needed to use a Divine World Core and since he had other Crystals for helping his Divine Rules, Ajax controlled his urge. ''Anyway, I can use the Giant Thunder Crystal and Death Crystal on the Divine Thunder Rule and the [Orb of the Death].'' Ajax thought about the Giaint Elemental Crystals that he gained earlier and decided, "As for the Giant Life Crystal, I can let Siora have it and convert her cultivator''s soul into a Divine Nature Rule." Even though he could use the Giant Life Crystal on Spirus to help her awaken the [Elemental Ascendance], he chose not to use it because he could get more Elemental Ascendance Fruits from the [Tree of Blessing] when he nurtured it. ''Let''s use them.'' Increasing his strength was not a bad thing and the quicker he became strong, the more things he could do without worrying about the future. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time using the resources that could increase his strength. ''Ding, The host used a Giant Thunder Crystal for the first time and increased the awakening percentage of his Divine Thunder Rule by 9 percent, reaching a total of 10 percent. ''Ding, The host used a Giaint Death Crystal for the first time and sessfully transformed his [Orb of Death] into a Divine Death Rule. It didn''t take much time for Ajax as the two crystals in his hands turned into dust as he received the back-to-back system notifications. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Thunder (10 percent) (Upgradeable with Greater World Core). Effect: 1) 100 percent resistant to normal thunder and lightning attacks. 2) All lightning and thunder attacks used by the cultivator will do 10 percent additional damage and the same type of attacks from the enemies will be reduced by 10 percent. Skill: Lightning Maniption: When the Divine Thunder Rule is activated, the cultivator could control the external lightning to use it for himself to attack his enemies. Duration: Five minutes. Cooldown: One week.I think you should take a look at First, Ajax checked the changes in his Divine Thunder Rule and was a little disappointed to see that there was no skill. However, there were some obvious changes like an increase in the attack power and a decrease in the external attacks on him, Most importantly, the duration for which he could activate the Divine Thunder Rule increased from two minutes to five minutes, making Ajax nod his head in satisfaction. ''Maybe I can unlock a new skill when it reaches 20 percent just like the Divine me Rule.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stopped worrying about it and checked his newly awakened Divine Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Death (1 percent) (Upgradeable with Greater World Core). Effect: The cultivator can release a Death Aura that makes others develop an unknown fear of their death. Skill: Death Domain. Death Domain: Upon activation, an invisible fixed domain with one meter of radius will form around the cultivator. The host can control the life and death of anyone that is inside that domain, including his own life and death. Can kill or revive someone instantly. Note: If others manage to move out of the Death Domain, the host can''t control their life and death. So, make sure you do not let them out of your Death Domain. ''What? Death Domain? I can control the life and death of others who enter the Death Domain?'' Even though Ajax had some expectations from the Divine Death; however, he never expected that he could freely revive anyone who entered the Death Domain. Compared to killing others, Ajax was mainly interested in reviving because when someone close to him was dying, he could just activate the Death Domain and revive them. ''Even though it only has a one-meter radius for now, don''t forget that I have only awakened it 1 percent.'' Ajax was excited about this new Divine Rule as he muttered, ''As long as I increase the awakening of the Divine Death Rule to 10 percent, I am very sure the Death Domain increases to at least 10 meters.'' Thinking about this, Ajax unconsciously thought about the three Greater World Cores in his inventory. ''No..no¡­Ajax, I just need seven more Greater World Cores and once I can confirm whether I can get a Divine World Core or not, I can always use them on the Divine World Core.'' Ajax believed that if the Greater World Core was able to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules, the Divine World Cores could also do the same¡­no¡­it will give even more benefitspared to the Greater World Cores. Of course, before that, Ajax needed to confirm whether merging 10 Greater World Cores could give him a Divine World Core or not. ''Ding, Merging 10 Greater World Cores will give the host a Divine World. Suddenly, Ajax received a system notification that made him heave a sigh of relief. ''Phew¡­my guess is right. I have to control my urge to use the Greater World Core.'' With the confirmation from the system, Ajax felt that his resistance to using the Greater World Core to increase the awakening rate of his Divine Rules increased to the next level. ''It looks like the system might have thought that I can''t resist the urge and use the Greater World Cores on the Divine Rules.'' Ajax jokingly thought in his head as he looked at the requirements of the Divine Spirit Cultivation. Chapter 1684 Entering Stormfire Wyvern World Again ''Among the three requirements for converting the Spirit Cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation, I have already fulfilled one and as long as I umte another seven Greater World Cores, I can fulfil the second requirement also.'' After learning about the Divine World Core and thinking about his Divine Spirit Consciousness Capacity that Ajax was able to upgrade during the Jade Essence Burst in the Greater Jade Dragon World, Ajax could not help but be excited. ''The only thing I need now is a Divine Grade Fruit; however, I don''t think I can find it any time.'' In the next moment, when he thought about the Divine Grade Fruit, Ajax could not help but heave a long sigh. ''I hope that one of the Secret Cultivation Zones of the sect opens.'' ording to his father, he might find a Divine Grade Fruit in those realms. Moreover, he needed to find other treasures for the reconstruction of the bodies of his father and Snow. ''There is still the Floating Ind. I might find those materials on it.'' As for the Divine Grade Fruit, Ajax was very sure that it would not find it in the Floating Ind. ''Anyway, let''s not think too much about it. If I am lucky, I will find it soon.'' Ajax stopped thinking about it as he took one look at the Lesser World Tree which was covered in green lights, emitting a worldly aura. ''Bane, eat this [Elemental Ascendance Fruit].'' Soon, Ajax gave the Elemental Ascendance Fruit that he got from the Lesser World Tree before leaving the Inner World. ¡­ "Siora, what is the level of your Cultivator''s Soul?" Aftering out of the Inner World, Ajax went to Siora''s room and asked her. "Level 9 Emperor Realm which is simr to my cultivation." Siora didn''t know why Ajax was curious about her cultivator''s soul. Nevertheless, she honestly answered him. "Very powerful." Ajax was not at all surprised at her cultivation speed as he gave a positivement before giving her, "Use these three Smaller World Cores to break through your cultivation to level 10 Emperor Realm and use this Giant Life Crystal to convert your Cultivator''s Soul into a Divine Rule." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax gave her three Smaller World Cores and the Giant Life Crystal. "T-these are¡­..thank you." For a moment, Siora was surprised to see the rare cultivation resources and seeing how casually Ajax was giving them to her, she didn''t reject them and thanked him. In the Floating Ind, they had already be close and she knew Ajax had great ambitions like ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Hence, she knew that if she wanted to be with him, she had to work hard and improve her cultivation. ''Even though he was only a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator, he could already kill Peak Emperor Realm Cultivators and it won''t be long before he bes a High-level Emperor.'' ''I need to awaken the Divine Life Rule and I can help him if any of his contracted spirit beasts or elemental spirits identally dies.'' After taking the resources from Ajax, Siora went back to her cultivation chamber and thought about it. In the beginning, Siora''s goal was to take care of her mother, the Lesser World Tree and the elves in the Five Elemental World.I think you should take a look at However, slowly, she developed feelings towards Ajax and wanted to help him in some way or the other. Even though her cultivation was way higher than Ajax, she knew he didn''t need her help because his battle prowess was much higher than his. However, after seeing how Ajax was unable to do anything when his contracted spirit beast, Siora decided to awaken a Divine Life Rule to help him with simr situations in the future. But what she doesn''t know is, Ajax already got a Divine Rule that could revive his Contracted Spirit Beasts and Elemental Spirits. ''I have 10 days to upgrade my Cultivator''s Soul to level 10 Emperor Realm. Let''s do it.'' Soon, she entered into a seclusion and wanted to try her best in awakening the Divine Life Rule within 10 days because Ajax would be bringing her into the Floating Ind once again. ¡­ ''Sigh¡­master is still in seclusion?'' As for Ajax, he returned to his pce in the Normal Dwarven World and checked there was no reply from his master in hismunication talisman. ''It looks like I can''t give the talisman that Uncle Dakon asked me to give to my Master.'' Ajax shook his head for a moment and continued to think, ''I wonder how he would feel if he knew that his sworn brother Aron is still alive.'' ''I will not spoil the suspense and let Father''s soul meet him when Father wants to meet him.'' Mostror and Aron were good friends and eventually became sworn brothers under the heavens with their Summoner''s Hearts. So, Ajax thought to inform about his father to Mostror; however, he was in seclusion for a while now, making him unable to share the good news with his master. Nevertheless, Ajax thought he could tell it after he returned from the Stormfire Wyvern World. That''s right! Finally, after three days, Ajax decided to return to Stormfire Wyvern World to start his mission given by Prince Dakon. ¡­ ''Swoosh'' In the next second, he used the Teleportation Token to enter the Stormfire Wyvern World and met Prince Dakon. "Uncle Dakon, I have a question." Ajax didn''t enter the Teleportation Center because he had a question for Prince Dakon. "Ask it, Ajax." Prince Dakon was in a good mood today for some reason as he allowed Ajax to ask any question. "Once I enter the Explored Dark World, how can I tell to whom that particr Explored Dark World belongs?" Ajax didn''t hesitate as he directly asked the question, making Prince Dakon nod his head, "I knew you would ask this question because all the youngsters have that question in their minds." "Actually, you can''t tell it by a look," Prince Dakon shook his head and just when Ajax was disappointed, he heard Prince Dakon say, "However, you can tell it with the help of this artifact." Chapter 1685 Exploration Stone Tablet "However, you can tell it with the help of this artifact." While saying that, Prince Dakon took out a small ck-coloured stone tablet and gave it to Ajax, "It''s called Exploration Stone Tablet and with it, you can tell the owner of the Explored Dark Worlds." "Exploration Stone Tablet." Ajax looked at the stone table with a slight smile as he heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he silently thought, ''Hopefully, I will find some Explored Dark Worlds belonging to worlds other than the Stormfire Wyvern World.'' That''s right! Ajax felt that it would be a waste of time to simply clear the 15 Explored Dark Worlds belonging to Stormfire Wyvern World. Moreover, ording to his estimations, it would not take less than an hour to clear all the Darkfire Wraiths in the Explored Normal Dark World. If he cleared them in an hour, it would reveal his battle prowess which Ajax didn''t want to reveal yet. Even though Prince Dakon already knew that he could kill the Darkfire Wraith Leaders, clearing all the Darkfire Wraiths in a single hour would not be a good thing in Ajax''s view. Hence, Ajax nned to use this opportunity to venture into surrounding worlds using his Devourer Eagle Kings and if those explored dark worlds belong to other worlds, Ajax nned to clear the Darkfire Wraiths before collecting the world core. That''s the reason why Ajax was hoping that he would find the explored dark worlds belonging to others. "All the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to the Stormfire Wyvern World are given some numbers for identification. The worlds you need to clear are in an order starting from 1001 to 1015." Prince Dakon exined more about the Explored Dark Worlds, "I don''t think you need that Stone Exploration Tablet; however, if you want it, you can keep it because it has the record of all the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to both Dragons and Humans." Even though Humans and Dragons didn''t like one another, when ites to the Exploration of the Dark Region, they have strict orders from their Ancestors who were in the Heavenly Realms. They even worked together in the past while exploring the Dark Region and continued to do it from time to time to go into the depths of the Dark Region. So, they had the records of the Explored Dark Worlds of each other. "As for the worlds belonging to others, you can''t see any number or the name that they have given to the world. But, you will get the owner''s name of that Explored Dark World." . . . Prince Dakon exined how the Exploration Stone Tablet works to Ajax. ¡­. Soon, Ajax left the pce and met with the Mighty Wyvern Squad members who were excited about their next adventure. "It looks like you have be a lot stronger than before." Ajaxmented on the increase in their strength. After undergoing the body and bloodline tempering with the Sentient me: Stormfire, Draco and others had undergone some significant changes in their body. Especially the two humanoid Wyvern brothers,pared to before, they looked close to humans except for some scales here and there on their bodies. "It''s all thanks to Brother Ajax." "That''s right! If not for Brother Ajax, it would have been very difficult for us to undergo Body Tempering in the inner section of the me Chamber." "Even though our cultivation didn''t change, our bloodline underwent qualitative changes and increased our battle prowess to the next level."I think you should take a look at Fangorn, Wynd and Fyre excitedly thanked Ajax as Draco exined to Ajax about the changes in their battle prowess. "Good..good." Ajax was happy for them and nodded his head before saying, "Shall we get to work now?" "Yes, we could not wait to test our upgraded battle prowess." Without wasting any time, Ajax and others entered a Normal Dark World through the Teleportation Center. While entering, they saw some new ones operating the Teleportation Center; however, Draco and others didn''t think much as they were very focused on their new mission. ''Swoosh'' [Stormfire Wyvern World, Explored World No. 1015] As soon as Ajax set foot on the Explored Dark World, the Exploration Stone Tablet in Ajax''s hands lit up as some words appeared on them. ''So, this is how it works.'' Ajax only checked it for a moment before keeping it back into his space ring. On the other hand, Draco and others were shocked to see the Exploration Stone Tablet that only the peak emperor realm cultivators could have. However, when they thought about their mission and how Ajax could take care of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders, they were no longer surprised and focused on killing the Darkfire Wraiths. After a few minutes of scouting, they found more low-level and mid-level Darkfire Wraiths than usual and knew that the world waspromised. "Everyone, let''s go in separate directions to clear the Darkfire Wraiths as soon as possible." After killing some low-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax suggested they should go in different directions toplete their mission as soon as possible. Moreover, it was confirmed that the world was tampered with Darkfire Wraiths as there were more than usual Darkfire Wraiths than a regr Explored Dark World. "Let''s do it." Draco knew that Ajax was on a different level than them and they would only waste his time by staying together. Also, he wanted to test increase his battle prowess and experience some life-and-death situations to unlock his hidden potential. It was the same for the other squad members. Hence, they agreed to Ajax''s suggestion. "Let''s meet here after 24 hours in the same ce." Ajax liked Draco and others more and more because they were quite understanding and easy to convince. After saying their next meeting time, Ajax summoned his mid-level Emperor Realm Beast, Alder and jumped onto him before flying into the distance at an incredible speed. "Alder, kill all the low-level and mid-level Darkfire Wraiths on the way and attract the attention of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders." After giving the orders, Ajax paid attention to the appearance of the Darkfire Wraith Leaders. "It looks like we are lucky to find one already." Chapter 1686 Divine Dark Rule (1) "It looks like we are lucky to find one already." One of the things that Ajax learned while clearing the previous Explored Dark Worlds was how to make the Darkfire Wraithse out of their hiding ces. It was none other than killing its subordinates. Therefore, after Ajax killed more than 10000 Darkfire Wraiths, he was able to find a Darkfire Wraith Leader. "Zen, take care of it." However, Ajax didn''t bother to jump don''t from the Devourer Eagle King; instead, he summoned Zen. "Yes, Summoning Master." Zen nodded his head and rushed at the Darkfire Wraith Leader. Compared to before Zen was more powerful because he had sessfully broken through to Emperor Realm after using a Giant Dark Crystal. Moreover, he even awakened the [Elemental Ascendance] and increased it to 30 percent. Therefore, Ajax knew that Zen could take care of the Darkfire Wraith Leader even with the help of Ajax''s bloodline. "Ghost, summon your clones and let them pick the Darkfire Crystals." As for collecting the Darkfire Crystals, Ajax relied on the Four-eyed Dark Ghost Fox. Ghost quickly summoned its clones. "Nite, Dabus, Necros, you two take one of the Devourer Eagle Kings and start clearing the world." After reaching far from Draco and others, Ajax summoned his remaining three Dark Elemental Spirits that have be Emperor Realm and awakened their [Elemental Ascendance] along with three Devourer Eagle Kings to speed up their kills. Of course, Ajax had bought a lot of Energy Dispering Pills for the Devourer Eagle Kings and fed them. "Kill the Darkfire Wraith Leaders." "Yes, Summoning Master." "Yes, master." Soon, three elemental spirits and the three devourer eagle kings left in three directions. ''Since Twilight is still sleeping, I will help Ghost with its breakthrough.'' After sending some of his summons to clear the Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax was not in a hurry to execute his n because he had something else he needed to do first. "Do you want to break through to the Emperor Realm?" With that thought in mind, Ajax asked the four-eyed Dark Ghost Fox in his arms. "I am ready, master." The little fox nodded its head. "Let''s upgrade your Bestial Soul to the peak king realm." Currently, the Little Fox''s bestial soul was still at the low-level king realm because it only broke through to the King Realm not long ago. Upgrading a Bestial Soul from low-level to high-level King Realm might be a problem for others; however, it was not a problem for Ajax. ''Let''s use the mid-level Dark Crystal.'' With Giant Dark Crystal, Ajax could not upgrade a King Realm''s Bestial Soul or a Cultivator''s Soul. If he used it, Ghost''s body would be destroyed. ''System upgrade Ghost''s Bestial Soul and Cultivation using the mid-level Dark Crystal to the Emperor Realm.'' Since the effectiveness was much better with the help of the system while using these treasures, Ajax used it. ''Ding, The host''s beast used one mid-level Dark Crystal and upgraded its Bestial Soul to level 3 King Realm. ''Ding, The host''s beast used one mid-level Dark Crystal and upgraded its Bestial Soul to level 5 King Realm. .I think you should take a look at . . ''Ding, The host''s beast used 10 mid-level Dark Crystals and upgraded its Bestial Soul to level 10 King Realm. ''Ding, The host''s beast used 100 mid-level Dark Crystals and upgraded its cultivation from level 1 King Realm to level 10 King Realm. ''Ding, The host''s beast used one High-level Dark Crystal and upgraded its Bestial Soul to level 1 Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The host''s beast used one High-level Dark Crystal and stabilized its cultivation at level 1 Emperor Realm. It took nearly 50-60 mid-level Dark Crystals and a High-level Dark Crystal to upgrade one bestial soul from level 1 King Ream to level 1 Emperor Realm and other 100 mid-level and one high-level for its cultivation. However, Ghost has two bestial souls. They are [Dark Illusion Soul] and [Ghost Soul] both belonging to Dark-type and hence, Ajax was not stingy and upgraded both of them to Emperor Realm. In short, he spent around 150-160 mid-level and 2 high-level Dark Crystals making Ghost be an Emperor Realm Cultivator. ''I think Ghost should get used to its strength for a while.'' With the sudden increase in its strength, the Little Fox was clearly not used to it. Therefore, Ajax didn''t increase its strength further and asked it to get used to its strength. ''ording to my estimations, I need to spend around 100 high-level Dark Crystals to upgrade a level 1 to Level 10 Emperor Soul.'' Ajax could find out about it soon. ''Let''s upgrade my two new Dark Souls into Divine Rules.'' Unlike Fox, Ajax was already an Emperor Realm who had the power to kill the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators. Therefore, he didn''t wait and decided to go all out in upgrading his two new Dark-type level 1 King Realm Souls. ''Ding, The host used 100 mid-level and one high-level Dark Crystals to upgrade his [Umbral Concealment] from Level 1 King Realm to Level 1 Emperor Realm. There was no pain and the process was very simple, making Ajax feel that all the strength increment processes in the world should be painless like this. ''Continue to upgrade it to the peak Emperor Realm.'' Ajax didn''t stop as he continued to spend the Dark Crystals to upgrade it. ''Ding, The host used 100 high-level Dark Crystals to upgrade his [Umbral Concealment] from Level 1 Emperor Realm to Level 10 Emperor Realm. Ajax felt his understanding of the [Umbral Concealment] increases to a very high level and with a thought he could turn into the darkness of night. ''Now, it''s time for the final step.'' Holding a Giant Dark Crystal in his hand, Ajax crushed it. ''Ding, The host used a Giant Dark Crystal and sessfully awakened the Divine Dark Domain. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' There was a sound from Ajax''s body as though something inside him had broken and at the same time, he received a system notification, making him clench his fists in excitement. ''System, upgrade [Nightmare Weaving] also.'' He didn''t check the information on his Divine Dark Rule as he ordered the system to upgrade his second cultivator''s soul. ''I wonder what will happen when I awaken two Divine Dark Rules.'' Chapter 1687 Divine Dark Rule (2) When an Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Soul or a Bestial Soul is used to awaken a Divine Rule, the cultivator or a beast loses that particr cultivator''s soul or bestial soul. The awakened Divine Rule would belong to the same element as the cultivator''s soul or bestial soul. However, the question in Ajax''s mind was, what would happen if he awakened two Divine Rules belonging to the same element? Moreover, he even wondered whether he could awaken a second Divine Rule belonging to the same element. ''Everything will be solved in a few seconds.'' While waiting for the system to upgrade his second Dark-type cultivator''s soul, Ajax patiently waited. ''Ding, The host used 100 high-level Dark Crystals to upgrade his [Nightmare Weaving] from Level 1 Emperor Realm to Level 10 Emperor Realm. ''Ding, It''s been detected that the host already has a Divine Dark Rule. So, he can''t awaken a second Divine Dark Rule. Soon, Ajax received the system notifications that he was waiting for and after reading them, Ajax was calm. ''Thest system notification answers my question.'' With a bitter smile on his face, Ajax shook his head. ''Ding, However, the host can sacrifice a peak emperor realm cultivator''s soul belonging to the same element as the Divine Rule to increase the awakening percentage. ''Huh? I can do that?'' Just when Ajax thought to change his ns about cultivating more Dark and Fire-type Cultivator''s Souls, he received a system notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''Wait a second¡­didn''t Stormfire say that I can receive Divine me Rules from the other Sentient mes too, right? I think they will be merged to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of Stormfire''s words and thought of this possibility. ''Ding, Host, do you want to use the [Nightmare Weaving] to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule? ''Yes.'' When the system asked him about it, Ajax didn''t hesitate as he agreed to it because he was curious about how much the awakening percentage would increase. ''Ding, The host used a Giant Dark Crystal on the peak Emperor Realm Cultivator''s soul [Nightmare Weaving] to merge with the host''s [Divine Dark Rule]. A Giant Dark Crystal disappeared from his inventory and at the same time, his insights about the [Nightmare Weaving] started changing. Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly what was happening, he remained calm and patiently waited to see the changes in his body. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at The awakening percentage of the host''s [Divine Dark Rule] has been increased from 1 percent to 11 percent. Note: The host has yet to use the first Giant Dark Crystal on the [Divine Dark Rule]. The earlier Giant Dark Crystal was used on the [Nightmare Weaving]. ''What? It directly increased the awakening percentage by 10 percent?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised and when he checked the note, he was shocked. For a Divine Rule, the first Giant Crystal would increase the awakening percentage of that Divine Rule by arge percentage. Therefore, Ajax was shocked and excited about it. ''All I need to do is cultivate more Cultivator''s Souls and use them to increase the awakening percentage of my Divine Rules.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after seeing how [Nightmare Weaving] increased the awakening percentage of the [Divine Dark Rule]. Even though Ajax guessed that things won''t go as he thought in the future regarding the Divine Rules, he felt thatpared to using the Giant Crystals on the Divine Rules, using a single Giant Crystal on a level 10 Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Souls to merge with the Divine Rules was much better. ''Even though I don''t have Giant Lightning Crystals or Giant Death Crystals or Giant Demonic Crystals, I think I can slowly merge them with their respective Divine Rule.'' The role of a Giant Crystal is to give a level 10 Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Soul enough energy to convert into a Divine Rule. So, even if Ajax didn''t have any Giant Crystals, as long as he umted enough energy for those peak Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Soul, Ajax believed he could merge them with their respective Divine Rules. ''I have ess to enough Dark-type and Fire-type Cultivator Souls. I should focus on cultivating more Cultivator Souls belonging to Thunder/Lightning, Demon, and Death Elements.'' Ajax received enough Dark-type Soul Stones from the Nightmare Fiend and as for the Fire-type Soul Stones, Ajax has one stone; however, he didn''t have interest in cultivating more of them because he was nning to directly awaken the Divine me Rules from the Sentient mes. Therefore, he decided to buy the Soul Stones or Law Stones belonging to Thunder, Demon and Death Elements afterpleting the mission. ''Anyway, let''s increase the awakening percentage for my Divine Dark Rule before checking its information.'' As Ajax''s elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts were busy dealing with the Darkfire Wraiths in World No.1015, Ajax was rxingly improving his strength. ''Ding, The host used a Giant Dark Crystal and increased the awakening percentage of his Divine Dark Rule to 20 percent. After Ajax awakened his Divine Dark Rule, it was the first Giant Dark Crystal he used and thus, he expected the efficiency would be maximum. Nevertheless, Ajax was still surprised to see that the Divine Dark Rule has reached the maximum awakening percentage at his current cultivation. ''I need to convert my spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation as soon as possible.'' Among the five Divine Rules he had awakened so far, Ajax had reached the peak for two of his Divine Rules and his cultivation had be an obstruction. Therefore, Ajax felt that he needed to hurry up and find a Divine Grade Fruit before any of the Secret Cultivation Realsm belonging to the sects opened up. ''Should I just pursue normal Spirit Cultivation?'' Deep in his heart, Ajax even had this thought because if he could not find the Divine Grade Fruit for the next 50-60 years, his Divine Rules won''t progress. ''No¡­I can wait. During this time period, I will just umte more and more cultivator''s souls and when I convert my Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation, I can see the rapid increase in the awakening percentage for all the Divine Rules.'' Chapter 1688 Darkness Absorption As far as Ajax believed, the higher the awakening percentage for the Divine Rules, the more difficult it would be. Even with the help of the Giant Crystals, Ajax could tell that he would need lots of them; otherwise, there would have been many cultivators ascending to the Heavenly Realm. ording to his master, in thest 10000 years, less than 10 members triggered the Lightning Tribtion and only one beast was able to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm whereas the remaining ones were dead. With Divine Body Cultivation, his sess rate of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm increases to as high as 25 percent whereas, with the help of the Divine Spirit Cultivation, he could reincarnate along with Elemental Spirits in case he was killed before or during the ascension process. Therefore, Ajax felt that waiting for another 100 or 200 years to consolidate his Divine Body Cultivation and the Divine Spirit Cultivation along with the Divine Rules to have a safe and guaranteed ascension. ''If I am lucky, I might find it within 50 years.'' For an Emperor Realm Cultivator who could live for 10000 years, waiting for 50 years was nothing and Ajax used that as a reference to control his urge of pursuing regr spirit cultivation and body cultivation. ''Anyway, let''s check the information on the Divine Dark Rule.'' Since his Divine Dark Rule had reached the peak of his current cultivation, Ajax decided to check it. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Dark (20 percent) (Not Upgradeable). Effect: 1) Upon activation of the Divine Rule, the host can integrate into the night or darkness andpletely avoid any detection techniques. 2) Absorption of the Dark Essence of Nature increased by 100 times. Skills: Shadow Travel, Nightmare Creator, Darkness Absorption. 1) Shadow Travel: The ability to move through shadows or teleport from one shadowy area to another, allowing for quick and stealthy movement. 2) Nightmare Creator: It''s an ability to send the host''s enemies into their worst Nightmares. 3) Darkness Absorption: The cultivator can absorb darkness or negative energy to heal themselves, replenish their strength, or bolster their powers. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown: One day. Theplete information about the Divine Dark Rule appeared in front of him and after reading them, Ajax was thoroughly satisfied with its effects and the skills. Not only does it have two effects but three skills. ''Compared to the Divine me Rule which only has two effects and two skills, the Divine Dark Rule has an additional skill.'' Ajax could tell that the additional skill was due to the merging of [Nightmare Weaving] which made him more excited for merging the Cultivator''s Souls into the Divine Rules. ''Not only will it increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule but it will also awaken a skill rted to that cultivator''s soul. In short, these cultivators'' souls act like Giant Crystals that could let a Divine Rule have more skills.'' With that conclusion, Ajax''s motivation to cultivate more cultivators'' souls has increased. ''If Twilight wakes up, I can directly help him awaken a Divine Rule and with it, he could take care of dozens of peak emperor realm cultivators who awakened Divine Rules.'' Ajax took a look at the sleeping little boy in the Dark Elemental Paradise and silently thought in his head. ''It will take at least 30 minutes for my summons to clear all the Darkfire Wraiths in the world. Until then, it is time to test my cultivation speed using my new Divine Rule.''I think you should take a look at After reading the information on the Dark Divine Rule, Ajax was curious about testing his cultivation speed because it said that his cultivation speed would be increased by 100 times. ''System, I want to temper my body with the Divine Essence of Nature.'' However, before he started cultivating, Ajax wanted to empty his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Ajax needed to use one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper his body and it was one of the requirements for his body cultivation. Since he had gained an effect that could let him absorb the Dark Energy 100 times faster, Ajax wanted to start working on it as it would take quite some time for him to use one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper the body. ''Ding, The host has used 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper his body. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature in Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness disappeared and at the same time, Ajax felt some itching on his skin. ''This might be because of the body tempering with the Divine Essence of Nature.'' Compared to the pain he had endured in the past, enduring the current level of itching was nothing for Ajax. The itching sensationsted for one minute as Ajax finally received a system notification. ''Ding, The host has sessfully tempered his body with 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Body Tempering with Divine Essence of Nature: 1000 / 1000000 units. ''Good¡­let''s not waste any more time and start cultivating.'' Even though it was only 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax was satisfied with the body tempering and thought he should not waste any time. ''Divine Dark Rule, activate.'' Soon, Ajax sat cross-legged as he activated the Divine Dark Rule and in the next second, his entire body was surrounded with Dark Energy as ck mist emitted from his body. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] With his current awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule, Ajax could activate the Divine Dark Rule for 20 minutes without suffering any side effects. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and circted his cultivation technique. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the Dark Energy within a 100 kilometers radius rushed into Ajax. Ajax looked like a hungry beast that hadn''t eaten anything for centuries and was having a feast in a single go. Time continued to pass and in a sh three minutes passed by since he activated his Divine Dark Rule as he finally received the first system notification, which made Ajax reveal an excited smile. Chapter 1689 100x Absorption Speed Even though the dark energy around him contained traces of Evil Energy, thanks to his cultivation technique and the Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax''s body was not corroded at all. Of course, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness could eliminate the traces of Evil Energy. That''s the reason why it takes three minutes to absorb a single unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. Moreover, even the dark energy that Ajax was absorbing into his body was no longer the Dark Energy; instead, it was a Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host circted his main cultivation technique for three minutes and absorbed 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, Ajax received the system notifications, making Ajax excited. Even though it was only 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax got it in just three minutes which was 10 percent of his current Divine Spirit Consciousness. Previously, Ajax received only one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, now, with the help of the 100x boost in cultivation speed, Ajax was able to absorb 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''At this rate, I only need 30 minutes¡­but I can''t activate the Divine Dark Rule for that long.'' Ajax didn''t forget the duration of his Divine Dark Rule and could not help but shake his head in pity. ''It''s alright! Once a week, I can have that boost. Moreover, inside of this work, I should enter pure Dark Element-type worlds.'' Currently, due to the traces of Evil Energy around him, Ajax needed three minutes to absorb 100 units; however, what if there were no traces of Evil Energy around him but only pure Dark Energy? At that time, he only needed 10 minutes to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness and with the help of the Divine Dark Rule, Ajax could fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness two times in a row in 20 minutes. When he thought about that, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face and at the same time, he thought about one of his clients, ''I should try to talk with Nightmare Fiend.'' After that, Ajax didn''t waste his time thinking about it as he could only keep Divine Dark Rule activated for 20 minutes. So, he resumed his cultivation and started absorbing more units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Time continued to pass and another 18 minutes passed by in a sh as Ajax deactivated his Divine Dark Rule before checking his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 680 / 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Even though he was unable to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness fully, Ajax was satisfied with it and he was looking forward to entering a pure Dark World to test his Divine Dark Rule. ''When I first read the requirements for the Divine Body Cultivation, I felt it would take years to convert my Regr Body Cultivator; however, if everything goes as I nned it won''t even take a year for me to sessfully convert my regr body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation.'' Ajax became hopeful for sessfullypleting one of the requirements for the body tempering with the Divine Essence of Nature. After deactivating the Dark Divine Rule, Ajax went back to absorbing one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature every three minutes. ¡­. "Master, I have killed three Darkfire Wraith Leaders along with their subordinates." "Summoning Master, I killed two."I think you should take a look at "I took care of two." "Three." After another 20 minutes, Ajax''s elemental spirits and contracted spirit beasts returned and said the number of Darkfire Wraith Leaders they killed. ''Did you leave some low-level Darkfire Wraiths for Draco and others?'' Ajax was not surprised by the aplishment of his summons as he nodded his head and asked a question. "Yes, sir. Since I was close to them, after killing the Darkfire Wraith Leader, I left them three mid-level Darkfire Wraiths and around a hundred low-level Darkfire Wraiths." Igins replied in his eerie voice, making Ajax nod his head. Since there were still some Darkfire Wraiths in this world, Ajax didn''t get the notification saying that he could enter the Core Realm of the world to pick the World Core. Moreover, even if he got the notification, Ajax won''t be picking up the world core as he didn''t want his identity to be revealed and at the same time, he wanted the trial to proceed without any problems. ''The rewards for the winner of the trial are awesome and with Twilight''s strength I am very confident that he could be the winner of the trial without a problem.'' Ajax was having a lot of confidence in Twilight. Moreover, he was even nning to help Twilight awaken a Divine Dark Rule and even with unforeseen events amidst the trial, Twilight has no problem in taking care of it. ''I hope things won''te to that and even if Twilight reveals his Divine Rule, it would help me solidify his position among the higher-ups in the Dragon Region.'' Awakening a Divine Rule with cultivation of a low-level Emperor Realm was a rare feat; however, it was not impossible. ording to the Jade Dragon Emperor, Ajax learned that the Lightning Haw Emperor who ascended in the past had awakened a Divine Rule with the cultivation of a low-level Emperor Realm. Moreover, there were more than a dozen dragons and other beasts that had achieved in the history of the Dragon Region. So, Ajax was not worried that it would create a problem for Twilight. ''If worstes to worst, I can just escape into the Dark Region with him.'' Of course, in a cultivation world, whether it was a human or a dragon, it is very hard to predict everything. Therefore, Ajax had different ns for different situations to survive no matter what. "While Draco and others kill those remaining Darkfire Wraiths, let''s start our main n." After saying that, Ajax summoned all his Devourer Ealge Kings, before ordering, "Open the portals to the surrounding Normal worlds." "Yes, master." ''Swoosh'' Nodding their heads, Alder and the remaining Devourer Eagle Kings opened portals to the Normal worlds surrounding World No.1015. Chapter 1690 Quick Exploration Mission (1) Previously, Ajax used five of his Devourer Eagle Kings to open portals and it''s been more than a week since then. So, those Devourer Eagle Kings could open the portals to the Normal Dark World again. ''Screech'' Therefore, as soon as Ajax gave the order, the eleven Devourer Ealge Kings opened the portals to the Normal Dark Worlds with a screech. ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he entered the first Normal Dark World through the portal with the Exploration Stone Tablet to get information about the world. As soon as he entered the world, words started appearing on the stone tablet. [Stormfire Wyvern World, Explored World No. 1005] ''This world belongs to the Stormfire Wyvern. So, I can''t take the world core; however, I can clear all the Darkfire Wraiths from this world.'' Even though Ajax was supposed to go back and enter World No. 1005 through the Teleportation Center, Ajax didn''t want to waste too much time with it. ''After I return to Stormfire Wyvern World, I will just re-enter the worlds I cleared with Draco and others to feign ignorance about clearing the Darkfire Wraiths. After finding out there were no Darkfire Wraith Leaders or mid-level or high-level Darkfire Wraiths, we can return in one hour.'' Ajax had already thought about this n and decided to go along with it. [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline, activate] To be on the safe side, Ajax activated his bloodline and made all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts received a 5x boost in their strength. Even though he had a Divine Grade bloodline, Ancient Summoner God''s Bloodline, which could increase the battle prowess by 10 times, its duration was only 5 minutes. Therefore, Ajax kept that bloodline for emergencies and mostly used the [Abyssal Beast God''s bloodline] because its duration was one hour. "Ignis and Cale, clear it." After getting the information about the Normal Dark World and activating the bloodline, Ajax ordered the first team to enter and kill all the Darkfire Wraiths. "Yes, master." Soon, the fire elemental spirit jumped on the Devourer Eagle King and started working. ''Swoosh'' [Stormfire Wyvern World, Explored World No. 1003] ''Caleb and Volcanis, go.'' ''Swoosh'' [Stormfire Wyvern World, Explored World No. 1001] ''Necros, join Cade and clear this World No. 1001.'' . . . . Soon, Ajax paired an elemental spirit with the Devourer Eagle King that opened the portal to the Normal Dark World. After five pairs, there were no more elemental spirits to be paired with the Devourer Eagle Kings; however, Ajax was not worried as he sent the Devourer Eagle King solo to clear those worlds while warning them, ''Your lives are most important.'' As long as all 10 Darkfire Wraith Leaders were not merged, these Devourer Eagle Kings won''t have any problem. ''I am lucky that there is an unexplored Normal Dark World.'' Among the 11 portals they opened, only one of them leads to an unexplored Normal Dark World, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief.I think you should take a look at That''s right! Ajax was hoping to find at least one of the Normal Dark Worlds that doesn''t belong to the Stormfire Wyvern World; however, he found apletely unexplored Normal World. So, how could Ajax not be excited about it as he was entering an Unexplored Dark World for the first time? "Casey, apany me into this world." Ajax picked the Devourer Eagle that opened the portal to this Unexplored Dark World and entered it with a curious look on his face. ¡­. Unexplored Dark World, ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax entered the world, he saw hundreds of thousands of Darkfire Wraiths rushing towards him. ''There are so many of thempared to the tampered Explored Dark Worlds.'' Ajax was not anxious when he saw the iing Darlfire Wraith; instead, he revealed a satisfied look on his face because, with more Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax could have more Darkfire Crystals. With more Darkfire Crystals, Ajax could get more Giant Dark Crystals and Giant Fire Crystals. ''I wonder how many Darkfire Wraith Leaders will be in this world.'' Looking at the iing low-level Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax silently thought about the Darkfire Wraith Leaders in his head and jumped down from the Devourer Eagle. ''Soul sher'' [Thousand des Torrent] Ajax didn''t waste any time as he summoned his sword and released powerful sword waves in all directions, killing all the low-level Darkfire Wraiths in less than a minute. ''There might be a million low-level Darkfire Wraith, right?'' Ajax guessed and the system confirmed his guess. "A solo human cultivator dares to enter my world with his single flying mount? It looks like you really want to die." Unlike in the past, it didn''t take much time for Ajax to see the Darkfire Wraith Leader appear along with his army. ''Huh? This Darkfire Wraith Leader looks a little differentpared to the ones I encountered in the Explored Dark Worlds.'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the aura around the humanoid Darkfire Wraith Leader in the distance. Moreover, unlike the Darkfire Wraith Leaders in the Explored Dark Worlds, the one standing in front of him had an army of more than ten million, of which half of them were high-level Darkfire Wraiths and the remaining 5 million were mid-level Darkfire Wraiths. There was not a single low-level Darkfire Wraith in his current army. ''I must have killed all his low-level Darkfire Wraiths just now.'' Ajax could sense that the Darkfire Wraith Leader in front of him was powerful and when he thought of something, he felt pressure. ''ording to my guess, there will be at least 100 Darkfire Wraith Leaders and what happens if all of them were merged into an entity that I can''t kill?'' When entering the unexplored Dark World, Ajax was not serious; instead, he thought it would be a piece of cake to clear the entire world. However, he knew it would be a little difficult and if he was not careful, he might even be injured. ''I should not let more than 10 of these Darkfire Wraith Leaders merge at any cost.'' Chapter 1691 Quick Exploration Mission (2) ''I should not let more than 10 of these Darkfire Wraith Leaders merge at any cost.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax wanted to kill the Darkfire Wraith Leader as soon as possible. In the past, Ajax didn''t know much about the Darkfire Wraith Leaders and allowed ten of them to merge into a Giant Darkfire Wraith. Back then, Ajax had to use his Divine Thunder Law to kill it. And now, the Darkfire Wraith Leaders he encountered in the Unexplored Dark Worlds looked much more powerful than the artificial ones created by the Shadow Veil Sect. If there were 100 Darkfire Wraith Leaders as he expected in this world, Ajax could not stop them from merging; however, he could try killing as many Darkfire Wraith Leaders as possible before they even knew about him. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax disappeared from his ce and appeared beside Darkfire Wraith Leader. [Thunderstrike Palm] Using his both palms, Ajax used his palm technique on the Darkfire Wraith Leader. Since he was unable to kill the artificial Darkfire Wraith Leaders in the Explored Dark Worlds, Ajax used his both palms. ''Rumble'' ''Rumble'' ''Boom'' There were rumbling sounds back to back as the Darkfire Wraith Leader''s body was pushed back by more than 100 meters before bursting into nothingness. ''Woah¡­when did my Thunderstrike Palm be so powerful?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised to see that he was able to kill the Darkfire Wraith Leader in just two palm strikes. However, when he thought about it, he knew the reason behind it and it was because of his Divine Thunder Rule. Even though the actual effects and skills under the Divine Thunder Rule could only be used when it was activated, they could still boost the attack power of the regr skills like Thunderstrike m with Divine Thunder Rule, Absolute Void Prison with Divine Dark Rule and so on. ''Since the leader is gone, let''s quickly finish this headless army.'' Even though he was excited to see that he was able to kill the Darkfire Wraith Leader in just two palm strikes, Ajax didn''t waste his time as he continued to massacre the mid and high-level Darkfire Wraiths. "Ghost, you can also join in the fun." While massacring the Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax summoned his Four-eyed Dark Ghost Fox which excitedly joined the battle. After the Ghost Fox became an Emperor Realm Beast with the help of the Giant Dark Crystal, its battle prowess could be considered to be top-notch. Moreover, currently, it was under the boost of Ajax''s bloodline. So, it could easily take care of a bunch of high-level Darkfire Wraiths at once. As for the Devourer Eagle, Ajax didn''t order it because it had already joined the battle and already killed more than a hundred thousand mid-level Darkfire Wraiths. Since Ajax had already killed the Darkfire Wraith Leader, the mid-level Darkfire Wraiths were unable to merge into high-level Darkfire Wraiths. Therefore, the fight became much easier and in less than 30 minutes, Ajax and two contracted spirit beasts had cleared the entire army of a Darkfir Wraith Leader. ''Ghost, Darkfire Crystal.'' After killing more than 10 million Darkfire Wraiths, Ajax and his beasts sat down as he ordered Ghost Fox to summon its clones to collect the Darkfire Crystals.I think you should take a look at With its breakthrough into Emperor Realm, Ghost could create 10000 nonbat clones and Ajax was making sure to use them properly for collecting the Darkfire Crystals from all worlds in his Quick Exploration Mission. "Master, since we have taken care of all the Darkfire Wraiths and their leader here, shall we move around and find more groups?" Casey had cleared the Dark Worldsst time and she knew that there would be at least 10 Darkfire Wraith Leaders in a Normal Dark World in various ces. So, after resting for a few minutes, she suggested whether they should move. "Let''s go." Even though Ajax and his two beasts killed more than 10 million Darkfire Wraiths, he only spent less than 10 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Moreover, after undergoing body tempering with the Sentient me: Stormfire, Ajax''s stamina had undergone a significant change. Therefore, he didn''t rest as he still needed to kill who knows how many Darkfire Wraith Leaders in this Unexplored Dark World. ''Ghost, ask your clones to inform others that they should enter this world after they cleared the world they were assigned.'' Ajax quickly ordered the Ghost Fox and started working on the massacres of the Darkfire Wraiths. The reason why he wanted others to join him was to quicklyplete the exploration of this unexplored Dark World. ¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh 12 hours passed by as Ajax finally got the system notification. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully killing all the Darkfire Wraiths in this world. ''Ding, The host can either turn it into your world or take the World Core from it. Just like always, the system asked whether he wanted to take the world or destroy it. The reason why Ajax was able to kill all the Darkfire Wraiths in this world within 12 hours was thanks to the help from his summons. One after Ajax ordered them to enter the Unexplored Dark World, all Devourer Eagler Kings and Elemental Spirits rushed into the Unexplored Dark World and started helping him. ''Even though having a Normal Dark World is good to farm for the Darkfire Crystals, I don''t have these worlds¡­at least for now.'' Ajax didn''t have the time to manage the worlds he already owned and he didn''t want to have another world just to farm for the Darkfire Crystals. If hecked Darkfire Crystals, he could just enter the Dark Region whenever he wanted and get them as he didn''t have any problems entering the Dark Region. ''Let''s retrieve the world core and leave this world.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax entered the core realm of the Normal Dark World and retrieved the world core. ''Ding, The host''s beast Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon is trying to break into the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, To gain the maximum battle prowess after the breakthrough, the system suggests the hosts use either a Giant Dark Crystal or a Greater World Core for his beast''s breakthrough. Chapter 1692 [Bonus ] God-Level Beast Cultivation Technique As soon as Ajax retrieved the World Core, he didn''t get the notification he was expecting; instead, he received a couple of system notifications regarding Twilight''s breakthrough. ''It looks like Twilight must have gained something good from the Jade Dragon God''s Statue.'' Ajax was happy for Twilight as he could be more powerful with the blessing from the Jade Dragon God''s Statue and at the same time, he didn''t think much and chose, ''System, use the Giant Dark Crystal for Twilight''s breakthrough.'' From the system''s analysis and uses of a Greater World Core and the Giant Crystal, Ajax could tell that both items were more or less the same. With a Greater World Core, Ajax could upgrade his cultivation, his contracted spirit beasts'' cultivation, and increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules regardless of the element type. As for the Giant Dark Crystal or a Giant Fire Crystal, they could be used to increase the cultivation of his contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits along with their [Elemental Ascendance] and Divine Rules for everyone depending on the element type. However,pared to the Giant Dark Crystals or Giant Fire Crystals, Ajax valued the Greater World Cores because of low supply but high demand. Moreover, the most important thing was, he was trying to umte the Greater World Cores to merge them into a Divine World Core before converting his regr Spirit Cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation with the help of that World Core. It was for the same time, why Ajax used the Giant Dark Crystal for Ghost Fox''s breakthrough earlier. Therefore, Ajax didn''t think much as he ordered the system to use the Giant Dark Crystal for Twilight''s breakthrough. ''Let''s leave the world and check Twilight''s breakthrough process after returning to World No.1015.'' After permitting the system, Ajax didn''t pay attention to Twilight who was still asleep in the Inner World. Currently, Ajax had to leave the world as he had already retrieved the world core and it would be destroyed in five minutes. In the past, even the Greater Golden Demon Emperor was killed by the destruction caused by a Normal World Explosion. Therefore, Ajax didn''t want to take any risk with such things and hurriedly left the world core and moved towards the portal. ''Ding, A Giant Dark Crystal is consumed and the host''s contracted spirit beast has sessfully broken through into a Low-level Emperor Realm Beast. However, just as he passed through the portal and returned to World No. 1015, Ajax had already received the system notification regarding Twilight''s sessful breakthrough. ''So soon.'' Ajax didn''t expect Twilight''s breakthrough to be over very quickly; however, before he could check his gains from the [Quick Exploration Mission], he received another series of system notifications, giving me another pleasant surprise. ''Ding, Your beast has learned a passive God-level Beast Cultivation Technique [Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique]. ''Ding, Your beast learned passive skills [Divine Aura Concealment], [Divine Protection], [Divine Dragon Suppression] and [Heavenly Dragon Insights]. ''Ding, Your beast''s bestial souls [Dark Destruction Soul], [Dark Twilight Soul] and [Divine Dragon Soul] are sessfully upgraded to level 1 Emperor Realm. ''Ding, Your beast has received the Jade Dragon God''s blessing and all its bestial souls will be upgraded 10 times faster. ''A God-level Cultivation Technique¡­which is simr to my Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens. Did he receive that technique from the Jade Dragon God''s Statue?'' Ajax read one system notification after another carefully as he praised Twilight''s luck. The only reason why Twilight was able to learn such a powerful cultivation was all thanks to the statue in the Jade Dragon World and Ajax could agree on it.I think you should take a look at ''Along with that cultivation technique, he learned four new passive skills and all his bestial souls were upgraded to level 1 Emperor Realm.'' Ajax had never expected that Twilight would gain so much after his breakthrough. ''I have only spent a single Giant Dark Crystals for his breakthrough and his Bestial Souls were upgraded to Emperor Realm. It looks like the Jade Dragon''s Blessing has something to do with upgrading the Bestial Souls.'' With Jade Energy, Ajax could upgrade any cultivator''sws and souls and hence, he thought that Jade Dragon God might have the ability to instantly upgrade the bestialws and souls. ''It seems he is consolidating his cultivation. I should not disturb him.'' Twilight has already woken up from his sleep and currently, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Hence, Ajax didn''t disturb him and started checking out his today''s gains. After taking a look at the number of the Darkfire Crystals he gained, Ajax revealed a satisfied look on his face. "Since we have taken care of the Normal Dark Worlds, it is time to clear the smaller dark worlds." Even though the trial was only in the Explored Normal Dark Worlds, Ajax knew that the Explored Smaller Dark Worlds were also tampered with by the Darkfire Wraith Leaders. Moreover, it was not in the mission given by Prince Dakon, Ajax was doing it because he wanted to collect the Darkfire Crystals as he would be entering the Floating Inds soon. At that time, he could cultivate more Dark-type and Fire-type Cultivator''s souls as he would have a lot of time. Of course, his first preference was upgrading his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' Capacity and his body tempering with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Screech'' On the other hand, the 11 Devourer Eagle Kings screeched and opened the portals to 13 smaller worlds. The additional two portals were opened by Alder who could open portals to the three smaller worlds every day. [Stormfire Wyvern World, World No. 1202] [Stormfire Wyvern World, World No. 1209] . . [Fire Dragon World, Name: unknown] [Fire Dragon World, Name: unknown] . . [Unexplored Dark World] [Unexplored Dark World] As for Ajax, he would enter each portal with the Exploration Stone Tablet to check the information about the smaller worlds. ''Among the 13 smaller worlds, six belong to Stormfire Wyvern World, five belong to Fire Dragon World and two are unexplored worlds. It looks like, soon, I will get seven smaller world cores.'' Ajax chuckled after checking the information about the smaller worlds and ordered his summons, "Destroy." ****** Daquan_Smith, thanks for the gift ''DRAGON''. Chapter 1693 Another Wave Of Darkfire Crystals There was more than one world like Stormfire Wyvern World that was sharing the borders with the Dark Region. Among them, there was Fire Dragon World which was a Greater Dragon World. Despite being a Greater Dragon World, the Fire Dragon World was unable to join the Dragonheart Society and whereas the Stormfire Wyvern World being a Normal Dragon World was able to join. Therefore, the Fire Dragon Emperor hates the Stormfire Wyvern World and is willing to do anything to destroy it. Since the Fire Dragon World also shares the border with the Dark Region, it also has its own Explored Dark Worlds that were close to the Explored Dark Worlds of the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''As long as I don''t destroy the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to Stormfire Wyvern World, no one could rte it to me. Moreover, I would have a perfect alibi that I am busy clearing the Darkfire Wraiths in the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to Stormfire Wyvern World.'' Ajax was not worried that someone could think that the destruction of the world might have something to do with me. Without wasting any time, Ajax sent all his Devourer Eagle Kings and the Elemental Spirits. As usual, the Ghost summoned its 10000 clones to collect the Darkfire Crystals. Even though Ajax learned that clearing an unexplored Normal Dark World was very hard and his summons might be unable to do so, he was confident that his summons won''t have any problem in clearing the unexplored Smaller Dark Worlds. Therefore, he didn''t hesitate to send his summons and as for him, he sat down and started cultivating. ''I should spend as much time as possible and umte as much Divine Essence of Nature.'' Even though Ajax nned to focus on that goal after entering the Floating Ind, he felt there was no harm in cultivating it whenever he got the time. Moreover, he had nothing to do right now and could use the time for cultivation. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in mind, Ajax started circting his cultivation and absorbed the Dark Energy into his body by converting it into the Divine Essence of Nature. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by as Ajax''s summons that went into the Smaller Dark Worlds started returning. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for one hour and absorbed 20 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Sigh¡­even after one hour, I got only 20 units of the Divine Essence of Nature.'' Looking at the system notifications, Ajax could not help but sigh as he reminisced, ''Back then, I would let my summons kill others to get free Essence of Nature; however, now, I can only get the Divine Essence of Nature by circting the cultivation technique.'' In the past, Ajax never bothered to cultivate because he would either get the essence of nature from the kills made by his summons or by the direct absorption of the Spirit Stones. As for the breakthroughs, in the earlier stages, it was by using the essence of nature; however, as he became powerful, the system changed his breakthrough requirements and eventually, he needed a Divine World Core for his breakthrough. ''Anyway,pared to the normal Essence of Nature, the Divine Essence of Nature is very beneficial.'' Even though it was time-consuming, the benefits brought by the Divine Essence of Nature were worth that time consumption. ''Now, it''s time to retrieve the Smaller World Cores.'' Soon, Ajax started working on retrieving seven smaller world cores and checked his gains from today''s mission. ''Ding,I think you should take a look at Smaller World Cores x 7. Normal World Cores x 1. Giant Darkfire Crystals x 10 million. High-level Darkfire Crystals x 100 million. Mid-level Darkfire Crystals x 20 million. Low-level Darkfire Crystals x 10 million. Just from the Unexplored Normal World, Ajax and his summons killed more than a billion Darkfire Wraiths and after collecting the Darkfire Crystals, Ajax merged most of them into High-level Darkfire Crystals or Giant Darkfire Crystals. Because he was nning to sell them to Prince Dakon to make him think that Ajax had sold all the Darkfire Crystals. ''After that, I will just enter the me Chamber and retrieve all of them by giving the Sentient me some pure Giant Fire Crystals.'' Ajax had already nned about it to make sure that even Prince Dakon didn''t doubt him when more and more Giaint Dark and Fire Crystals appeared on the market. No matter how close Prince Dakon was to Ajax''s master, Mostror, Ajax was always wary of others. ''Among all the worlds my summons entered, the five smaller worlds belonging to the Fire Dragon World didn''t have many Darkfire Wraiths.'' All his summons took 40 minutes to one hour to leisurely clear the smaller dark worlds that Ajax assigned him; however, the five pairs he sent to the Five Smaller Worlds belonging to the Fire Dragon World didn''t give him many Darkfire Crystals. He felt something was not right! ''It looks like the Shadow Veil Sect only targets the worlds belonging to the Stormire Wyvern World.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head as he could not think that Fire Dragon World also yed an equally important role in tampering with the Explored Dark Worlds belonging to the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''Ding, All the Darkfire Wraiths in this world were killed. The host can either retrieve the World Core or turn it into his world. Suddenly, there was a system notification that made Ajaxe out of his thoughts. ''It looks like Draco and others must have killed all the Darkfire Wraiths that I left for them. It''s time we return to the Stormfire Wyvern World." It''s been around 15 hours since Ajax and others entered World No.1015. So, Ajax nned to meet Draco and others before returning to the Stormfire Wyvern. ''Screech'' Soon, Ajax sent all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts except for Alder back into his inner world before flying to Draco and others. After exchanging their experiences, they activated the Return Scroll and returned to Stormfire Wyvern World. Chapter 1694 New Golden Demon Emperor After returning, Ajax and others went to their ces to rest for the night as they nned to enter the Dark Region tomorrow. Officially, they have only cleared one Normal Dark World and there are still 14 more worlds; however, unofficially, Ajax had already cleared an additional 10 Normal Dark Worlds. Nevertheless, he didn''t have any ns to inform Prince Dakon about those worlds as he nned to tell him that those worlds were not tampered with. ''By tomorrow, I will bepleting Prince Dakon''s mission and then I can find a Greater Human World to fill and enter the Elemental Spirit World connected to that world.'' Among the things that Ajax nned to do, afterpleting Prince Dakon''s mission of clearing the 15 Normal Dark Worlds, he would be entering the Floating Ind. Even though there were still 15 days left for Ajax to enter the Floating Ind, he nned to get two Offical Elemental Spirits along with as many Unofficial Elemental Spirits as possible. ''Even though I could enter the Elemental Spirit World connected to Purple Stone World or the Five Elemental World, I am curious about the Elemental Spirit World connected to a Greater Human World. Will there be any special elemental spirit? Will they be more powerful than the elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Normal Human World?'' There were many questions in Ajax''s head and thus he decided to use his two chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World afterpleting Prince Dakon''s mission. ''There is still Twilight''s Trial in between. Once it ispleted, I can enter the Floating Ind without any problem.'' Ajax didn''t want Twilight to miss the opportunity to enter the Floating Ind because he could have seven years to do whatever he wanted. Moreover, with the Jade Dragon God''s Blessing, Twilight''s non-dark Beastial Soul will also rapidly progress. With that thought in mind, Ajax returned to the Royal Guest Pce to take the rest for the night. As long as the n goes well, Ajax could wrap up the mission by tomorrow night and take the rewards from Prince Dakon. ''I will enter the Fire Chamber after I get the rewards from Prince Dakon.'' Since Ajax still owes the Sentient Fire 3510 Giant Fire Crystals, he needs to meet the me. Moreover, he would be getting rid of all the Darkfire Crystals from everyone''s eyes and get the refined Darkfire Crystals back from the Sentient me. He didn''t want to enter the me Chamber again and again as the Sentient me can''t temper his body any more. ¡­.. In the Greater Fire Dragon World, "The announcement regarding the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm might appear at any moment now. Did youplete all the procedures?" The Fire Dragon Emperor, Malgazar asked his Prime Minister with a mix of serious and expectant tone. "Everyone is done, Master." The old fire dragon servant nodded his head as he exined, "We have sessfully converted all the resources in all our worlds into trader''s tokens." "ording to your estimated entry fee, we can send a total of 1500 most powerful fire dragons below the age of 500 years old along with 100 top-notch geniuses just as you ordered."I think you should take a look at "Currently, we are using all the remaining resources to increase their strength as much as possible." "Also, we stopped anyone from entering the Explored Dark Worlds for thest 15 days and we strictly forbid anyone from entering for another 15 days just like you ordered." There were a few more old dragons around Malgazar who exined how things were going on regarding their n. "Good¡­good." Hearing all that, Malgazar was satisfied and replied, "The Ancient Fire Dragon God is really helping us." "First, during the trial of the Young Divine Dragons, something would definitely go wrong and the Dragonheart Soceity will kill the Stormfire Wyvern World out of the group." "Second, since I am ahead of other Greater Dragon Worlds in making the preparations for the Secret Cultivation Realm like Celestial Dawn Realm, I can be as strong as them or even more stronger than them." Malgazar was over the moon when he thought about it and could not help but be excited. If the first thing bes sessful, he could get his hands on the Stormfire whereas the second one coud help him be an equal with the other Great Dragon Emperors in the world. As for the Explored Dark Worlds under his world, Mazar didn''t want anyone to enter for two reasons. One, he wanted, was focused on nurturing the participants that would be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. Second, if someone uses him of tampering with Stormfire Wyvern World''s explored worlds, he could tell that he was busy with the preparations of the Celestial Dawn Realm. As for the reason why he converted all the treasures into Trader''s Tokens was it was the universal currency for all the cultivators in the world. If he used the treasures to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, the sect would ask for more treasures as they could only consider the treasure''s basic price in terms of Trader''s Tokens. However, Malgazar auctioned off all the treasures at high prices and those powerful Great Dragon Emperors who didn''t know about the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, fought with one another and bought for an extremely high price, which benefited Malgazar. "Let''s hope everything goes as we nned." Even though Malgazar said that deep in his heart, he was confident that nothing would go wrong this time as he had made enough preparations for his both ns. ¡­. In the Great Golden Demon World, "All hail the Great Demon Emperor." A group of old Golden Demon Emperors shouted out loud while a winged Golden Demon Emperor was sitting on the huge Demonic Throne. "Great Demon Emperor." In front of the huge Demonic Throne, millions of Emperor Realm Golden Demons, Silver Demons, and Bronze Demons were kneeling as they acknowledged the new emperor for their Golden Demon Territory. ''Finally¡­I have aplished my first goal in life.'' Sitting on the ground, the Winged Golden Demon Emperor revealed a satisfied look on his face before saying, ''Now, it''s time to help Master with some Worlds.'' Chapter 1695 [Bonus ] Territory Managing Demoness: Cilin The newly ascended Golden Demon Emperor was none other than Wingo who swore his loyalty to Ajax. Once he sessfully took care of all the old Golden Demon Emperors in the Golden Demon Territory, Wingo had no problem bing the Emperor. However, in the process of taking care of them, Wingo was so cruel that as long as he felt that someone would betray him in the future, he would just kill them along with their souls. Because of this reason, Wingo had lost so many powerful Demon Emperors in the territory, making it much weaker than before. Nevertheless, Wingo was not worried that he still had some trump cards under his sleeves if the other four Great Demon Emperors tried to invade his territory. ''However, those trump cards are useless if they form an alliance to attack his territory.'' This was what Wingo was worried the most about after his ascension to the throne. ''I need his help in fulfilling my second goal.'' The person Wingo thought of was none other than Ajax. As far as Wingo knew, all the cultivators who awakened a Divine Rule at the cultivation of the low-level Emperor Realm became a powerhouse for sure. Moreover, his human master has awakened a Divine Thunder Rule which was a bane to Demons like him. Therefore, he decided to help Ajax first and then take his help in killing the other Greater Demon Emperors from the other demon territories. "Where is the Territory Managing Demoness?" Afterpleting his coronation, Wingo didn''t waste his time as he called for an Emperor Realm Demoness who not only manages all the worlds in the Golden Demon Territory but she was also his one and only wife. "Your Majesty, what can I do for you?" Despite Wingo being her husband, the Territory Managing Demoness called him just like how one would address an Emperor. "Cilin, you can just call me Hubby like always." Wingo shook his head and asked his wife to call him like she usually does; however, no matter how many times he told her, Cilin shook her head and said she was proud to call him that. "Your wish." Eventually, Wingo gave up and came to the main point, "How many worlds in our territory have depleted almost all their resources and were on the verge of destruction?" After bing Ajax''s subordinate, Wingo received the order that he should empty 1000 smaller demon worlds, 100 normal demon worlds and 10 Greater Demon Worlds. However, as the emperor of the Golden Demon Territory, Wingo could not just give away the worlds to Ajax like that because he knew that his master was nning to destroy them. As for why his master wanted to destroy them, he assumed that it must be rted to the cultivator''s soul he was cultivating.I think you should take a look at To minimize his losses, Wingo asked for the worlds that were on the verge of destruction and devoid of resources. ''If there are not enough resourceless worlds, I will just select some low-revenue worlds and n the mass evacuation.'' This was Ajax''s idea and he clearly gave such orders because Ajax was not nning to kill his subordinate''s subordinates as it would only decrease the loyalty of his subordinates. Therefore, Wingo decided to follow that after seeing how many deste worlds he had in the Golden Demon Territory. "Your Majesty, there are 0 Greater Demon Worlds, 120 Normal Demon Worlds and more than 2234 Smaller Demon Worlds that havepletely depleted their energy and are devoid of any demons in those worlds." After checking some scrolls, Cilin, the Territory Managing Demones, gave the numbers. "Huh? There are so many such worlds in our territory?" Wingo frowned when he heard such huge numbers because he didn''t expect it and asked his wife for the reason for it. Even though he was the prime minister of the territory in the past, it was only in the name and all the things were taken care of by the Great Golden Demon Emperor. So, he didn''t have a clue about so many words being depleted. "It was because the previous Great Golden Demon Emperor only took care of the Greater Demon Worlds and did not care much about the Normal Demon Worlds. As for the Smaller Demon Worlds, it is better not to talk about them." Cilin was extremely disappointed with the previous emperor and thus she supported her husband to be the new emperor of the territory because she knew how qualified and careful with everything that belongs to him. "Hm" Hearing that Wingo fell silent and thought, ''Maybe the previous golden demon emperor did a good thing for me. At least I have enough Normal Demon Worlds and Smaller Demon Worlds to give to the Master.'' ''As for the Greater Demon Worlds¡­.I should request him to take all the 2234 Smaller Demon Worlds and 120 Normal Demon Worlds in the ce of 10 Greater Demon Worlds.'' Wingo believed that Ajax was someone who would listen to his suggestions and think about it, unlike the previous Golden Demon Emperor. Therefore, Wingo decided to request Ajax regarding the Greater Demon Worlds because each Greater Demon World proves the strength of the territory. ''Anyway, it is better to keep the 10 Greater Demon Worlds in hand and in case, Master really needs them, I will mass evacuate the demons in those 10 Greater Demon Worlds before giving them to him.'' With that thought in mind, Wingo asked his wife to select 10 Greater Demon Worlds that are at the bottom of revenue generation so that he could discard them. ''Just because I became a Great Emperor doesn''t mean I can rx. I need to focus on taking thest step to convert my Demonic Soul into Divine Demon Rule.'' After giving some orders to all the demons in the higher-level of management that he trusted, Wingo entered seclusion to take that final step to be equal with the other Great Demon Emperors. Of course, he informed Ajax that he had sessfully be the Emperor of the Golden Demon Territory and prepared the worlds before entering the seclusion. .. Chapter 1696 Dakons Mission Completed In the Stormfire Wyvern World, ''He got the Golden Demon Territory under his control much faster than I expected.'' Ajax heard Wingo''s voice in themunication talisman which he received from Wingo. After learning that Wingo became the Realm Emperor of the Golden Demon Territory, Ajax was pleasantly surprised. Even though he had enough confidence in Wingo, it was still much faster than he expected. ''It looks like I have to make a trip to the Greater Golden Demon World.'' Currently, Ajax could not enter the Golden Demon World; however, he was not worried too much about it as he could just ask Wingo to enter the Trader''s Realm and give him a Special Teleportation Token. Once he enters the Golden Demon Territory, Ajax could get enough world cores to merge into a Divine World Core. Therefore, he decided to pay a visit to the Golden Demon Territory afterpleting the mission. ¡­. Next day, In the early morning, Ajax and Draco walked through the Teleportation Circle and today''s destination was World No. 1014. Ajax had already cleared it yesterday; however, he still entered without saying anything. "It looks like there are not many Darkfire Wraiths in this world." Ajax acted like he didn''t know anything and soon, he said, "Why don''t I take a look around this world with my contracted spirit beast?" ''Swoosh'' As soon as he gave that suggestion, Ajax summoned the Devourer Eagle King Alder. "Sure." Draco and others were already used to Ajax''s style of clearing the mission. So, they nodded their heads in agreement. ''Screech'' Without further ado, Ajax jumped onto his contracted spirit beasts and flew into the distance. There were some low-level Darkfire Wraiths here and there that were respawned after yesterday''s massacre; however, Ajax didn''t bother to kill them as he flew as far as possible. "Everyone,e out and take the Energy Dispelling Pills." Just like yesterday, Ajax summoned all his Devourer Eagles Kings along with the dark-type and fire-type elemental spirits before feeding the contracted spirit beasts some pills. "Let''s get to business now. Don''t open the portals that you opened yesterday and choose new smaller worlds." Soon, the 11 Devourer Eagle Kings under Ajax opened 13 portals and all of them led to the smaller dark worlds. ''5 worlds belong to the Stormfire Wyvern World, 6 worlds belong to the Fire Dragon World and the remaining two are unexplored smaller worlds.'' Soon, Ajax entered smaller worlds to check the information on the world before returning to World No. 1014. "Go and start the massacre. Kill them all." "Ghost, take care of collecting the Darkfire Crystals." Soon, Ajax gave the orders before sitting down to cultivate and increase the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ¡­ From 30 minutes onwards, his summons started returning from the smaller dark worlds after clearing all the Darkfire Wraiths. ''It''s time to retrieve the world cores.'' Ajax was quick with the retrieving process and it only took one minute per world core.I think you should take a look at Within 45 minutes, Ajax had retrieved eight Smaller World cores and adding to the ones he collected yesterday along with the ones he had previously, Ajax had a total of 30 Smaller World Cores along with a Normal World Core. Of course, he got another batch of Darkfire Crystals which he didn''t bother to check because the Darkfire Crystals were no longer valuable resources in his eyes as he already had more than a billion of them. "Alder, open the portal to a Normal Dark World." Among the 11 Devourer Eagle Kings, only Alder could open the portal to a Normal World daily whereas the other devourer eagle kings could only do it once every week. Since they had already used their ability yesterday, Ajax needed to wait for another 6 days before he could order them to open the portals to the Normal Worlds. ''I hope this world doesn''t belong to the Stormfire Wyvern World.'' Ajax prayed to the heavens as he walked through the portal with the Exploration Stone Tablet in his hand. [Fire Dragon World, Name: Unknown] ''Excellent¡­I will be getting another Normal World Core.'' Seeing that the Normal Dark World doesn''t belong to the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax was excited and without wasting any time, he ordered his summons to take care of the Darkfire Wraiths in the world. Since it was a Fire Dragon World, there were not many Darkfire Wraiths and in less than 30 minutes, Ajax''s summons cleared the world and Ajax retrieved the world core. ''It''s time to return.'' It''s been less than one and a half an hour since he entered this world and Ajax decided to return and inform Prince Dakon that the world was not tampered with. Soon, Ajax met Draco and others before returning to Stormfire Wyvern World. ¡­. In the Stormfire Wyvern World, "So, the world no,1014 was not tampered with." Prince Dakon heaved a sigh of relief and asked Ajax and his squad to check out the remaining Normal Worlds. As for Ajax, he readily agreed to Prince Dakon''s words and started entering the other worlds. ''Swoosh'' [Stormfire Wyvern World, World No. 1013], not tampered with. ''Swoosh'' [Stormfire Wyvern World, World No. 1012], tampered with but cleared by Ajax and his summons within 30 minutes. After returning from World No. 1012, Ajax imed that World No.1012 was also not tampered with before resuming the same process until he gave the certification for the 15 worlds selected for the trial. Even though Ajax didn''t gain any world cores in his trips to the remaining worlds, he was satisfied with the Darkfire Crystals. ''The real reward for clearing those worlds was not the Darkfire Crystals; instead, it was the rewards from Prince Dakon.'' Ajax was excited about the rewards that Prince Dakon nned to give him after clearing all 15 Dark Worlds. "Uncle Dakon, just because the Worlds are not tampered with, don''t tell me you are not giving me the rewards you promised to give me." Ajax jokingly said what he truly felt in his heart. "Of course, I will give you the rewards I promised." With a slight smile on his face, Prince Dakon started giving out the rewards to Ajax. ***** Help the book rise into Top 20 in Golden Ticket Rankings. Chapter 1697 Entering The Treasury "Here." Prince Dakon was a wyvern of his word as he directly took out four teleportation tokens. "This Purple-Coloured token is the special teleportation token of the Stormfire Wyvern Worlds which lets to enter the Stormfire Wyvern World at any time you want whereas the other three belong to the Greater Poison Dragon World, Lightning Fire Dragon World and Greater Primordial Dragon World which could only let to enter one time before the tokens turn into dust." Giving out the teleportation tokens to Ajax, Prince Dakon exined about each token, "Those three worlds have their own sentient me and I have already informed them about you. As long as you are ready, you can directly enter their me Chambers. All you need to pay them the Darkfire Crystals for different sections inside the me Chamber just like the one in my world." "Really? Thank you." For a moment, Ajax was surprised and hurriedly thanked Prince Dakon. It was because he didn''t expect that he could directly gain ess to the other me Chambers with Darkfire Crystals. ''It looks like I will be converting my Regr Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation much faster than I expected.'' One of the requirements for the DIvine Body Cultivation was the body tempering with three Sentient mes. The second one was already taken care of as the Special Notice Service Center had already informed him that they collected 10 million supreme-grade spirit stones with 2 million per each element. The only thing that Ajax had to focus on now was the body tempering with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature which would bepleted after he entered the Floating Ind. ''Even if my Divine Spirit Cultivation takes time, I can focus on my Divin Body Cultivation to fight my enemies.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he carefully stored the Teleportation Tokens. "As you enter those worlds, someone from the royal families of those worlds would personally take care of you until youplete the body tempering with the respective sentient mes." ''Also, instead of 10 Darkfire Crystals, you need to give them 100 Darkfire Crystals and it is a standard rule for outsiders.'' . . . Prince Dakon exined a few more rules and after listening to them, he finally understood why Prince Dakon asked him to collect 100 Darkfire Crystals to gain ess to the me Chamber in his world. ''So, it was a standard procedure for every dragon world that has a Sentient me.'' From Prince Dakon, Ajax also learned that the other me Chambers also have outer, middle and inner sections and depending on the quality of the Darkfire Crystals provided, ess to the respective section inside the me Chamber would be gained. "For the Mythical Grade Weapon ... .what type of weapon do you¡­" "Uncle Dakon, I am not interested in weapons; instead, can you give me some Mythical Grade Treasure?" Before Prince Dakon could ask him a question, Ajax interrupted his words and asked for an equivalent valued treasure. "Oh" For a moment, Prince Dakon was surprised; however, when he thought who Ajax''s master was he was no longer surprised and nodded his head, "Sure."I think you should take a look at "Also, if you can give me 90 percent of the Darkfire Crystals you collected, I will let you enter the Royal Treasury of my world and let you pick another Mythcial Grade Treasure. What do you say?" "Your Highness." Just as Prince Dakon finished his words, the old servant beside him was shocked and tried to stop him. "Don''t worry¡­as the disciple of my sworn brother, I owe his master my life. So, letting him enter the Treasury is how I repay his master by a little." Prince Dakon knew what the old servant was worried about. So, he said, "By the way, we will be apanying him to make sure he won''t pick more than two Mythical Grade Items." The treasury was something that even the high-level Stormfire Wyverns in the world can''t enter; however, Prince Dakon was giving authority to Ajax, making the old servant worried. However, when he heard Prince Dakon''s words, the old servant somewhat understood and could only nod his head. "Moreover, with Ajax''s help, our 15 trial worlds are now safe and our Fire Dragon Emperor Malgazar would be disappointed to see the trial going without any hitches." Prince Dakon gave another reason to his old servant, saying that he not only owes Ajax''s master but also Ajax. So, letting him enter the treasury was how they should be paying him for his help. "Uncle Dakon¡­thank you." As for Ajax, he was pleasantly surprised as he didn''t expect that Prince Dakon would let him pick two Mythical Grade Items from the Treasury. As for the 90 percent of the Darkfire Crystals, Ajax nned to give them as he knew he could be getting those Darkfire Crystals sooner orter through the Sentient me. "Let''s go then." Prince Dakin didn''t waste any time as they went deep into the Royal Prince Pce where there was a huge door with many mysterious runes and symbols. ''Kacha'' After removing the arrays and locks from the door, the huge door slowly opened as Prince Dakon, Ajax and the old servant entered it. "Ajax, you have exactly 10 minutes to pick two Mythical Grade Items. Your time starts now." As soon as they entered the Treasury, Prince Dakon informed Ajax about a condition. "10 minutes is more than enough for me." With a slight smile, Ajax walked forwards as he checked the treasures in the treasury. Inside the treasury, many items were nearly ced on either side of the room. With a look, Ajax could tell there were more than 1000 items in the treasury and all of them were Mythical Grade and there were even special mythical grade treasures. ''System, scan them all and show me the list of all the items in the treasury.'' The reason why Ajax was not worried about the time limit was because of the system. As soon as he ordered the system, a huge list of items appeared category-wise in front of Ajax. ******* StryderAdon, thanks for the gift MAGIC CASTLE.

''Holy heavens...after receiving the treasures from the Lesser World Tree, I thought I was rich; however, looking at all these items...it really opened my eyes.''I think you should take a look at Looking at the Mythical Grade items on the list that the system has generated, Ajax was shocked and felt his horizons were broadened. ''That''s right! If I can nurture a Lesser Tree World for 10000 years (currently evolving), the other powerhouses in the Universe can also do the same.'' Even though not everyone like Prince Dakon and Jade Dragon Emperor might not focus on nurturing the Trees, Ajax thought there would be some Dragon Emperors who fully focus on nurturing all types of rare trees like Lesser World Trees or even Standard World Trees. For such powerhouses, getting special mythical-grade items was very easy. Moreover, by now, they must have umted so many items. If I can have connections with such powerhouses, it would be of great help to me for finding the missing ingredients for the Soul Protection Pills and the other rare cultivation resources. ''I should ask Uncle Draven about such powerhouses and form connections with them before he ascends to the Heavenly Bestial Realm.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stopped thinking about those things and focused on which two Mythical Grade Items he should pick. Between the two powerhouses like Uncle Dakon and Uncle Draven, Ajax was much closer to Uncle Draven and he even knew that Ajax could supply World Cores for who knows from where. Therefore, Ajax decided to take the Jade Dragon Emperor''s help regarding that matter. ''Even though weapons are good, currently, I don''t want to fight anyone head-on and I have enough Divine Rules to rece the weapons.'' With a simple thought, Ajax directly eliminated the Weapon Category'' list and focused on the other two lists. ''Soul Protection Pills...I don''t need them as I can refine them for myself and as for the Emperor''s Rage Pills, they are good but the side effects are a little too much.'' After thinking, Ajax eliminated a few pills from the list as his gaze finallynded on the Rule Enlightenment Pills. ''Rule Enlightenment Pills are good ... .however, each pill bottle has only 10 of them. So, I can either pick two pill bottles and use my two chances or pick one pill bottle along with another item.'' Since Ajax has Divine Thunder Rule, Divine Demon Rule, and Death Death Rule, he thought those pills are useful for him to increase their awakening percentage. ''From the list of cultivation resources, I want to have them all.'' After selecting one pill bottle of Rule Enlightenment Pills, Ajax closed that list and focused on the third list which was filled with the items that Ajax wanted them all. ''Wait a second...I think I know how to get all of them.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of an idea and was confident in getting more items from the treasury in a legal way without any problems. ''I will just pick a Bestial Divine Fruit and hope that one of my beasts will be lucky enough to awaken the Divine Rule.'' The contracted beast that Ajax thought of giving the Bestial Divine Fruit was none other than the King of Devourer Eagle Kings, Alder. Once he awakens a Divine Rule, he would be more powerful and Ajax hoped it would awaken the Divine Devour Rule. ''If he could really awaken that Divine Rule, he could instantly digest all the Zero-ordered Demon Apostles that he consumed during the fight with the Golden Demon Emperor Dilgin.'' Ajax was hoping that Alder could break through to the high-level Emperor Realm so that Ajax could do more things that he was unable to do right now. Things like flying to the others at lightning speed or opening teleportation portals to more worlds to retrieve the world cores and having a strong beast to assist him in his future fights with the powerhouses. "Uncle Dakon, I will take this pill bottle and a Bestial Divine Fruit." Soon, Ajax went to the ce where they were kept and picked them up. "So soon." Prince Dakon was surprised that Ajax was quick with his selection because if a cultivator sees all the treasures in his treasury, he would be in a dilemma for which item he should pick. However, Ajax had a clear mind and picked the two items that were quite useful for someone like Ajax who has a mid-level Emperor Realm Beast. "Uncle Dakon, are you interested in the World Cores?" Once Ajax finished selecting his two Mythcial Grade Items, Ajax started executing the n of getting more treasures from the treasure that he thought of earlier. Chapter 1699 Planning From what Ajax noticed and guessed with his previous traders with the Nightmare Fiends, Human Elemental Emperors and others, the world cores are the pinnacle resources for the cultivators who awakened the Divine Rules. Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly how much each world core would help the cultivators increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules, he knew they could use the Smaller World Cores and the Normal World Cores for that purpose, unlike Ajax who could only use the Greater World Cores. Even though there were other cultivation resources like Giant Elemental Crystals, Rune Enlightenment PIlls and many others; however, World Cores could be used by everyone and their effectiveness was much higherpared to the other resources. Therefore, Ajax decided to use the World Core to tempt Prince Dakon into trading the treasures he was hiding in his Treasury. ''As long as he is interested, I can safelyplete the transaction without revealing my identity.'' Ajax was confident that his n was good and that he could hide his real identity whilepleting the transaction with Prince Dakon. "World Cores?" Prince Dakon was surprised as he curiously asked Ajax about it, "I am very much interested in getting world cores." Once he got the confirmation from Prince Dakon, Ajax revealed a slight smile and started exining. "Uncle Dakon, I have seen rare treasures like Life Essence Pearl, and Ethereal Lotus Seed .... Earlier, in the Trader''s Realm, someone searching for those items approached me informing me to ask my master about those items." After hesitating for a moment, Ajax exined, "He said that he would pay for those treasures in World Cores. If you are interested, I can set up the meeting." "Huh? He is looking for those items?" Prince Dakon raised his brows for a moment before saying, "It looks like he is trying to reconstruct a body for someone. Since he said he would pay for these items in world cores, then he must be rted to the World Conquering Sect." "World Conquering Sect?" Ajax frowned as he didn''t expect Prince Dakon to rte him to the World Conquering Sect. Of course, Ajax knew about the World Conquering Sect which was destroyed by an alliance formed by the current top five sect in the name of righteousness. Even though many cultivators wouldn''t dare to say the real reason for the destruction of the World Conquering Sect, Ajax could tell that those sects were jealous of the Sect''s ability to extract the world cores from the worlds. As for exactly how the sect was destroyed and what kinds of devious ns they implemented to destroy it, Ajax had no clue about them as there was not much information about that event. "If he really belongs to the World Conquering Sect, will Uncle Dakon not want to exchange the resources?" Ajax felt that he had miscalcted something in his help and tried his best to remain calm and asked about it while maintaining a slight smile on his face. "Who cares? As long as he can give me the World Cores, I can sell the equivalent valued resources with him." Prince Dakon could not resist the temptation of the World Cores. Moreover, it was the top five human sects who destroyed the World Conquering Sect and as a powerhouse of the Dragon Region, Prince Dakon didn''t bother to think much about it and just got the World Cores from the person. "By the way, the person can be trusted, right?" Since Ajax was Mostror''s disciple, Prince Dakon was not surprised that someone would approach Ajax for exchanging resources with him.I think you should take a look at Moreover, if it was something like World Cores, even Ajax''s master would be tempted. However, he wanted to know whether that trader was genuine or not. From the looks of it, Prince Dakon could tell that Ajax had exchanged resources with that trader multiple times and might have be close that Ajax was willing to help that trader. "Uncle Dakon, it seems you won''t enter the Trader''s Realm much; otherwise you would have already known about the person." Soon, Ajax was informed about the actions of the Mysterious Trader in the trader''s realm who was selling World Cores through the auction houses. "Yeah¡­since my father entered into seclusion, I was not getting free time to enter the Trader''s Realm." Prince Dakon bitterly said those words and asked Ajax, "Since he was able to have connections with the auction houses in the trader''s realm, he must be trusted." "If possible, I want to meet him this evening. What do you say?" Prince Dakon asked Ajax as he had some free time in the evening. "Sure." Ajax thought about it for a moment before nodding his head. "So, he must have promised to give you somemission for finding him some buyers." Prince Dakin said with a smiling face, making Ajax rub the back of his head with an awkward chuckle; however, Ajax didn''t mind. "Also, it looks like your Emperor Realm''s Cultivator''s Soul must have reached quite high. However, I still suggest that you should eat those pills only after you awaken the Divine Rule; otherwise, the energy from those pills might kill you." Since Ajax was Mostror''s disciple, Prince Dakon gave a warning to Ajax regarding the consumption of the Rune Enlightenment Pills, making Ajax nod his head. Currently, Ajax already has five Divine Rules and of course, nothing would happen to him even if he consumed it right away. "Thank you for the suggestion, Uncle Dakon." Nevertheless, Ajax thanked him before asking, "Uncle, I want to enter the me Chamber to resume my body tempering with the Stormfire." "Of course, you can enter anytime you want with the help of the Special Teleportation Token I gave you." Prince Dakon learned from his servant that Ajax was able to stay inside the mer Chamber for less than 15 hours. Hence, he directly permitted Ajax when Prince Dakon heard that he wanted to enter the me Chamber again. "Really? Thank you." After informing the Special Trader''s Lounge Number Prince Dakin of their evening meeting, Ajax left and entered the me Chamber to meet Stormfire. Chapter 1700 Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon After leaving the Royal Prince Pce, Ajax directly entered the Inner Section of the me Chamber by showing his Special Teleportation Token to the guards at the entrance. Sensing Ajax''s presence in the me Chamber, the Sentient me directly opened the way for him into the Core Realm. "Here are the Giant Fire Crystals I owe you." Ajax paid 3500 Giant Fire Crystals which were more than what he actually had to pay the Stormfire. Nevertheless, Ajax was grateful to the Sentient me for all the information it gave him. After having a little chat with the Stormfire for an hour, Ajax left the me Chamber and quietly returned to his Normal Dwarven World. ¡­ ''Even though I wanted to meet Wingo after returning from the Stormfire Wyvern World, I had a meeting with Uncle Dakon in the evening.'' ording to Ajax''s nning, he should be meeting Wingo; however, as Ajax wanted to get some treasures useful for the reconstruction of the bodies along with some other treasures, he decided to postpone that event after the meeting with Prince Dakon. ''Since there are still five more hours before I meet Uncle Dakon, I should go and check up on Twilight.'' It''s been a while since Twilight woke up from his sleep; however, Ajax didn''t let him out as Twilight needs to get used to his new strength. At the same time, Ajax wanted to check on Twilight''s new skills and strength along with the progress on the Lesser World Tree which was still evolving. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consconsciousness appeared in his Inner World. "Alder, I got some rare pills for you." Before going to meet Twilight, Ajax went to the Devourer Eagle King and tossed it a Bestial Divine Pills. ording to the pill''s description, there is a 10 percent chance for a beast to awaken a Divine Rule after consuming it. Anyway, Ajax was confident that he could help Alder awaken a Divine Rule because he had 10 pills with him. Moreover, it''s been a while since Alder''s Devour Soul reached high-level Emperor Realm and as long as he was given a little help, he would definitely awaken a Divine Rule rted to Devour Soul. "Try to awaken a Divine Rule." After saying that, Ajax allowed the Devourer Eagle King to sleep and digest the pill before he walked to the Grade 7 Dark Bestial Pradise. Currently, a young man around the age of 15 years was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He was wearing purple robes with pink borders, long ck hair, a hint of dark shade on his face and the dark essence of nature was rushing into his body at an incredible speed. ''After he became an Emperor Realm beast, Twilight has changed a lot. Not only did he grow from a 10-year-old boy to a 15-year-old boy but the aura he used to emit in the past hadpletely disappeared.'' Looking at the young man in the Dark bestial Paradise, Ajax could not help but think of the changes that happened to Twilight. That''s right! The young man was none other than Twilight who had grown after he became an Emperor Realm Beast. ''System,'' Ajax didn''t disturb Twilight; instead, he asked the system to show the information about Twilight. ''Ding, Beast Name: Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon. Strength: Low-level Emperor Realm. Status: Jade Dragon God''s Blessing: It helps the dragon have 10 times cultivation speed while cultivating the Bestial Souls. Skills: Twilight Cannon, Dark Destruction st, Dragon Breath,... Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique (God-level). Active Divine Skills: 1) Divine Dragon Blessing: Amon passive skill for the Divine Dragons that can bless the cultivators to have a 100 percent boost in their battle prowess. Cooldown: One Year. Passive Divine Skills: 1) Divine Aura Concealment: No one in the Earth Realm can sense the Divine Aura released by the beast. 2) Divine Protection: No matter how powerful an attack is, as long as the Dragon closes its eyes, that attack will do zero damage to the dragon. Note: Works only once a week. 3) Divine Dragon Suppression: As long as the Dragon''s cultivation was higher than the other Divine Dragon, it could suppress them and as for the normal dragons, even a high-level Emperor Realm Dragon that awakened a Divine Rule would be suppressed by a certain level. 4) Heavenly Dragon Insights: It can get the information of all the dragons with a single nce, except for the dragons that have passive divine skills that block this skill. Bestial Souls: 1) Dark Destruction Soul 2) Dark Twilight Soul 3) Divine Dragon Soul Note: All three souls are at level 1 Emperor Realm. ... ''No wonder, the Dragon Region is the most powerful region in the universe.'' Looking at the full information that the system has projected in front of him, Ajax could not help but think about the Dragon Region that was filled with nearly one million Divine Dragons. ''What if all those Divine Dragons attack the Human Region? The entire Human Region can be conquered very easily.'' Ajax shivered a little at that thought; however, he knew they can''t do that and it was not because the Dragons are scared of humans; instead, it was the orders from the Ancestors. ording to what Ajax learned from the Jade Dragon Emperor, the Ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Realms strictly forbid an out-and-out war between any two regions in the universe and it was even applicable to the Demon Region. That''s the reason why demons only focused on slowly invading one world after another and at the same time, they could only pick the worlds that were on the borders between the human region and demon region. Because of that reason, the Demons were able to invade the Purple Stone World multiple times and the top five sects didn''t bother to send their forces to the outskirts of the human region. But still, there were many internal conflicts between everyone. "Anyway, let''s upgrade Twilight''s Bestial Souls into Divine Rule now." Putting aside all his thoughts, Ajax took out a dozen Giant Dark Crystals and woke up Twilight from his cultivation. ******* Reached 1700 Chapters....let''s reach 1800th Chapter soon. Chapter 1701 [Bonus ] Nightmare Dragon ''Ding, Twilight''s Dark Destruction Soul has been transformed into Divine Dark Rule (1 percent). ''Ding, The host has used three Giant Dark Crystals and increased the awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule to 15 percent. ''Ding, Twilight''s Dark Twilight Soul has been transformed into Divine Dark Rule and merged with the existing Divine Dark Rule. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast''s Dark Divine Rule has been increased by 8 percent and its final Awakening Percentage is 23 percent. Note: Since Twilight is a Divine Dragon, even with his low-level emperor realm cultivation, he could increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule to 30 percent. A series of system notifications rang in his head as Ajax used around 200 High-level Dark Crystals along with four Giant Dark Crystals to help Twilight awaken a Divine Rule. What''s more, he has only used four Giant Dark Crystals to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule to 23 percent. ''Integrating the second peak Emperor Realm Soul into the Divine Dark increased by 8 percent¡­not bad.'' Even though it was two percent less than what he got by integrating his second Emperor Realm Soul into the Divine Dark Rule, Ajax knew it was because Twilight''s Divine Dark Rule was already at 15 percent awakening. ''Since he can have a 30 percent awakening of the Divine Rule, I will directly help him.'' Soon, Ajax used nearly 30-40 Giant Dark Crystals to increase the awakening of Twilight''s Divine Dark Rule to 30 percent before nodding his head in satisfaction. "With this Divine Dark Rule, you will be my strongest contracted spirit beast, Twilight." Twilight was already a powerful beast after it became a Divine Dragon and now, it has a Divine Dark Rule with 30 percent of awakening. Ajax believed that if Twilight went all out along with the backing of his Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline, even those Emperor Realm Cultivators with 50 percent awakening of their Divine Rules won''t be a match for him. "I know that, master. You can live your safety for me." Hearing Ajax''s praise, Twilight was proud and assured Ajax with a face full of confidence. On the other hand, Ajax shook his head with a slight smile on his face and said, "If you can increase your cultivation to mid-level Emperor Realm, I can increase the awakening of your Divine Dark Rule to above 50 percent. At that time, you will be invincible in this entire universe." Of course, Ajax knew it won''t be as simple as bing invincible just by breaking through to the mid-level Emperor Realm; however, Ajax wanted Twilight to be more eager in his cultivation. "Really? I be invincible? Got it. I will go back and cultivate now." Twilight didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he rushed back into his Dark Bestial Paradise and sat cross-legged to cultivate. ''It looks like I need to do something about the Paradises in the Inner World. Once they reach the Emperor Realm, the essence of nature they require is astronomical.'' Ajax silently thought about it; however, the system said that it can''t help Ajax with it as Grade 7 paradise is its limit.I think you should take a look at ''I think the main reason why everyone wants to ascend to the Heavenly Realm is because of the insufficient essence of nature in this realm.'' Even though there were main reasons for the ascension, Ajax thought theck of essence of nature was one of the main reasons. Even the low-level Emperor Realm Cultivators won''t be satisfied with the essence of nature as they needed to find Mythical Grade Cultivation Technique for easy cultivation and by the time they reach peak emperor realm and awaken Divine Rules, it would be almost impossible to have progress unless they encounter any fortuitous encounters in their life. ''Anyway, I have a God-level Cultivation Technique and my cultivation doesn''t depend on the essence of nature entirely. Anyway, let''s check the information on his Divine Dark Rule.'''' Ajax muttered to himself as he finally decided to check on Twilight''s Divine Dark Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Dark (Bestial). Awakening: 30 / 100 percent. Effect: 1) Upon activation of the Divine Dark Rule, the spirit beast emits pure dark energy which has a destruction property to it. Wherever the Dark Energy goes, it will be corroded and destroyed in no time. 2) As for the cultivators and beasts, they will enter into their deepest and darkest nightmares. Note: The effects of any Divine Rules will mostly work for the cultivators who are yet to awaken their Divine Rules and as for others, depending on their Divine Rules and their awakening percentage, they will either be affected or not affected. Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: One week. Skills: 1) Dark Destroyer: The more the spirit beast destroys, the more powerful it will be. After activation of this skill, a Destruction Bar will appear and upon filling it, the strength of the Dragon doubles and at the same time, a new Destruction Bar appears which can increase its strength by 3x times upon filling it. The process repeats until the Divine Rule is deactivated or until the Spirit Beast doesn''t want to destroy anything. 2) Nightmare Dragon (Passive): As long as the spirit beast drinks the blood of the enemy, it can send that enemy into his deepest and darkest nightmare no matter how powerful the enemy is. 3) Divine Immuntiy (Passive): As long as the Divine Dark Rule is active, it is immune to almost all poisons, and all kinds of negative effects like fear, burn, frost, curse, and many more. ''I think it has already be invincible.'' Looking at the information about the Divine Dark Rule, Ajax remained silent for a moment before iming that it had already be invincible. ''All its skills are aimed to make it more powerful and it could even kill an Emperor Realm Cultivator who awakened 99 percent of his Divine Rule just by drinking a single drop of his blood.'' Ajax was still in shock after seeing the details of the Divine Dark Rule and forgot to be excited as he stared a Twilight. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, Ajax sensed a powerful aura from the distance, making hime out of his shock, ''It looks like I will have another beast will Divine Rule now.'' Chapter 1702 Standard World Tree Until now, only two of his Contracted Spirit Beasts have awakened the Divine Rules. They are Four-eyed Dark Ghost Fox and Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon. And now, Ajax sensed that another one of his contracted spirit beasts was also awakening. ''It looks like Alder is quite lucky to awaken the Divine Rule after eating the Bestial Divine Pill for the first time.'' ording to the information, there was only a 10 percent chance of awakening a Divine Rule from the existing peak Emperor Realm Bestial Soul. However, the Devourer Eagle King was still able to awaken the Divine Rule with such a low sess rate, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Ding, Congrattions, host, Your Lesser World Tree has sessfully evolved into a Standard World Tree. ''Ding, It will no longer give Lesser World Fruits; instead, it will give Standard World Fruits. ''Ding, The Standard World Tree has borne a new type of fruit called [Special World Fruit]. . . . . However, before Ajax could even check on the Devourer Eagle King, Ajax received a series of system notifications informing him about the Lesser World Tree''s evolution and the changes in it. ''What? Itpleted its evolution?'' Ajax has been waiting for the Lesser World Tree toplete its evolution and when he heard the system notification, he directly rushed towards the Lesser World Tree¡­no, now, it is a Standard World Tree. Even before he went to the tree, Ajax could see that the branches of the Standard World Tree werepletely covering the Inner World. With his Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax could sense that the inner world has be the core of the Standard World Tree. The tree was covered in a green halo as though it was a Divine Tree that descended from the Heavenly Realm and the thick and long branches were dancing in joy to sessfullyplete its evolution. "Master, thanks to you, I can be a Standard World Tree." As Ajax was in awe at the beauty of the Standard World Tree, a young girl around the age of 20 years old, came out of the tree and thanked Ajax for his help. She was none other than the tree spirit of the Standard World Tree, Zoe. "It''s alright! By helping you, I am helping myself." Ajax stated the fact with a slight smile on his face and checked the information on the Standard World Tree with a face full of hope, ''I hope, it has awakened a good and useful ability along with some new and powerful fruits.'' As far as Ajax knew, a Lesser World Tree would awaken its second ability when it reached 10000 years old. Since his Lesser World Tree has not only reached 10000 years old but also evolved into a Standard World Tree. So, Ajax was quite hopeful for the changes urring in his World Tree.I think you should take a look at ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree (Zoe). Age: 10000 years old. Fruits: 1) Standard World Fruit (One per 1000 years). 2) Eternal World Fruit (One per year 5000 years). 3) Special Evolution Fruit (Whenever the World Treepletes an evolution) Note: 1) The Standard World Fruit contains a random treasure that is a Mythcial Grade or a Special Mythical Grade. Ability: 1) World Enhancement: The host''s inner world has been turned into a Greater World. 2) Mother of Worlds: For every 10000 years, the Standard World Tree can give birth to a random Smaller World. 3) Queen of Trees: All the trees in the same world as the Standard World Tree will require 20 percent less time and resources to grow. ''Th-this¡­is¡­heaven-defying.'' Looking at the new fruits and the new abilities, Ajax was thoroughly shocked as he rubbed his eyes to check the information on the Standard World Tree again. Only after confirming that he was not seeing the things and all the information, he read was real, Ajax became excited and slowly read the information again to get a better understanding of the tree. ''With the help of Standard World Fruits, I won''t have anyck of Mythical Grade Treasures.'' ''For Eternal World Fruit, even if I don''t need them, I can sell them for a huge price for other resources.'' ''And as for the final fruit, even though I won''t get another Special World Fruit anytime soon, it was still a Special Mythical Grade Fruit that was almost close to a Divine Grade Fruit.'' Ajax asked Zoe to pick the two fruits that appeared after the World Tree reached 10000 years old. They are Eternal World Fruit which could increase 5000 years of lifespan for a cultivator and the second one was the Special World Fruit, whose usage is yet to be known. However, Ajax was not in a hurry as he waited for Zoe to bring the fruit before he checked the information on it; instead, he focused on his abilities. ''I thought it would only have one new ability; however, it gained another ability. Maybe it was rted to its evolution.'' Of course, Ajax could guess the reason for having an additional ability as he read their uses. ''The third ability was quite good for me to nurture the remaining trees like [Tree of Blessing] and [Soul Nourishment Tree] as he only needs to use 80 percent of the resources from now on.'' Ajax was looking forward to nurturing the other two trees to the 10000 years old soon¡­especially the [Tree of Blessing] as he would be getting a huge number of Elemental Spirits soon. ''With Mother of Worlds, it can create smaller worlds; however, I am still curious about what the process looks like.'' As for its other new ability, Ajax knew it was a powerful ability and quite useful for him; however, he didn''t know what it would be. Because currently, the inner world was inside his body and if the Standard World Tree gives birth to new smaller worlds every 10000 years, then where will those worlds appear? In his body? ''Then, won''t my body have a universe of my own?'' Thinking about this, Ajax didn''t know whether he should be happy or sad. Chapter 1703 [Mother Of The Worlds] ''Ding, The host''s Standard World Tree has used its ability [Mother of the Worlds] to produce a Smaller Elven World. Just as Ajax was lost in this thought regarding the creation of a universe in the future, he received a system notification. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax saw a shining green orb on one of the branches of the Standard World Tree. ''Is that the Smaller Elven World that system mentioned?'' Looking at the mini-version of the Elven World, Ajax could not help but be pleasantly surprised. Even though Ajax didn''t get any reply from the system, he was sure that the mini-version of the Elven World on the branch was Currently, there is only one world in his body and it will take 10000 years for the Standard World Tree to produce a single smaller world. However, with the help of nt Essence, it won''t take much long for Ajax to nurture the Standard World Tree to one hundred thousand years or even higher. In short, it won''t take that long for Ajax to produce a dozen worlds inside his body and he assumed that if he nurtured the Standard World Tree, the age of the worlds will also increase. ''At that time, with a wave of my hand, I can call forth huge armies to take care of my enemies.'' Ajax could not help but think about the day when the Standard World Tree produced dozens of worlds and each world filled with billions of powerful beings rushing forward to help him. ''Ding, The Smaller Elven World has been sessfully produced. ''Ding, Currently, the world is barren, without any natural resources on it; however, under the nurturing of the Standard World Tree, the conditions in the world will change to give birth to the First Elf. Note: It might take millions or sometimes even billions of years to give birth to the first Elf. However, when he saw the two system notifications, Ajax frowned before shaking his head. ''It might be dyed a little bit and with enough nt Essence, I don''t have to worry about it.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t think too much about it as he knew sooner orter, he would be having a universe in his body. ''System, can''t I just send some elves into that world? Not only can they take care of the world but they would also increase the poption in the world.'' Even though Ajax didn''t want to think about it, he still asked the system about something that bothered him a little. ''Ding, No. The host can do that when the Smaller Elven World detaches from the Standard World Tree. Until then, please wait patiently. ''So, the world is detached from the Standard World Tree. Then, will it appear outside my body or beside the Inner World?'' Ajax''s inner world was surrounded by a thick mist and his Divine Spirit Consciousness could not move or see through that mist. Even though he was curious about it, the system won''t tell him anything and even his father didn''t have an idea about the Inner World. He believed that there would be more changes to it when he nurtured the Lesser World Tree; however, even the Lesser World Tree also grew to a certain point before wrapping up its branches around the Inner World. ''Let''s see when the world will get detaches itself from the Standard World Tree.''I think you should take a look at Ajax didn''t bother to think much about it as he decided to leave those smaller worlds for the Standard World Tree to take care of. ''Should I nurture it in the future?'' Currently, Ajax has a little more than 3000 drops of nt Essence and he would still get around 100000 drops of nt Essence from Jade Dragon Emperor. Therefore, he wanted to nurture the Standard World Tree a little. ''Swiish'' Without wasting any time, Ajax poured 1000 drops of nt Essence into the Standard World Tree. ''Swoosh'' Without any surprises, the roots in the ground moved and absorbed the nt Essence in no time. At the same time, the Standard World Tree has some of its branches grow a little. ''Ding, The host has used 1000 drops of nt Essence and nurtured the Standard World Tree for 10 years. ''What? Only 10 years?'' Ajax frowned when he saw that the Standard World Tree only grew by 10 years instead of 1000 years. ''Ding, After any tree reaches 10000 years, it would require 100 times the resources to grow in a single year. ''Ding, The older a tree bes, the harsher the nurturing will be. ''I was thinking that everything was going smoothly and nowes an obstacle.'' Even though it was not a big obstacle, Ajax was worried about how harsh it would be in the future to nurture the Standard World Tree. ''I was even nning to evolve it into a Greater World Tree or if possible, even into a Divine World Tree. It looks like it won''t be anytime soon for me to evolve the Standard World Tree again.'' With a bitter smile on his face, Ajax shook his head and stopped worrying about it. ''Anyway, there is still a lot of time for me and eventually, I will get my hands on more and more resources in the future.'' Since Ajax still needs some rare cultivation resources to create bodies for his father and Snow, he felt he had enough time. ''Since it requires 100 drops of nt Essence to increase the age of the Standard World Tree by one year, I should just focus on nurturing my other Lesser World Tree along with [Tree of Blessing] and the [Soul Nourishment Tree].'' Ajax was notcking the number of trees; however, he wascking the nt Essence and as he nurtured them more and more, it would only need more nt Essence. Anyway, Ajax changed his ns of nurturing the single tree to one hundred thousand years into nurturing the remaining trees until they reached 10000 years. By doing so, he could maximize the benefits of the tree. ''Let''s see what benefit this Special World True has.'' Keeping aside his thoughts, Ajax checked the information on the fruit. Chapter 1704 [Bonus ] Special World Fruit Special World Fruit, rather than saying it was the fruit that the Standard World Tree bore after reaching 10000 years old, it could be said that it bore the fruit after it sessfullypleted its evolution. Moreover, ording to the information Ajax received from the system, this Special World Fruit could only be borne by the world trees only when they undergo an evolution. Therefore, Ajax had some high expectations of that fruit as he checked the information about the fruit before consuming it. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Special World Fruit. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Owner: Ajax. The Standard World Tree is very grateful for the effort you put into nurturing it and thus it wanted to repay you by giving back something that is useful to you. Use: Consuming the fruit gives you a pleasant surprise. ''Huh?'' However, unlike what he had expected, there was no specific use for the fruit. Moreover, it could be consumed only by him and can''t share it with others. ''Let''s see why I will be surprised.'' Compared to knowing the specific usage of the fruit, vaguely knowing about something would make it more curious and it was the same for Ajax. Therefore, without wasting any time, Ajax consumed it. ''Gulp'' ''Sweet.'' It was the sweetest fruit that Ajax had in his life and he slowly enjoyed it, forgetting the reason he really ate the fruit for. ''Swoosh'' Just as he ate the fruit, Ajax''s entire body was covered in a green light just like how the Smaller Elven World was covered earlier and immersed in a state where he motionlessly stood in his ce for more than a couple of hours. ''Ding, The host has consumed the Special World Fruit and awakened a new Divine Rule, the Divine nt Rule. Suddenly, Ajax opened up from his sleep when he heard the system notification with a shocked look on his face. ''The system said I will be pleasantly surprised but I am thoroughly shocked.'' With an unbelievable look on his face, Ajax silently muttered to himself as he opened his interface to check the information on his new Divine Rule. Even without opening it, Ajax could tell it was rted to nts and trees; however, he had to have a better understanding of it to maximize its usage. Soon, he saw the list of his Divine Rules. ''Ding, 1) Divine Thunder Rule (10 percent). 2) Divine Demon Rule (1 percent). 3) Divine Dark Rule (20 percent). 4) Divine Fire Rule (20 percent). 5) Divine Death Rule (1 percent). 6) Divine nt Rule (1 percent). There was a new Divine Rule in the list and Ajax focused his gaze on it and soon, the system showed the information on the new Divine Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: nt (1 percent).I think you should take a look at Type: Special and Support. Effect: 1) Upon activation of the Divine Rule, the cultivator can speed up the growth of any nt or tree, including Divine Trees. Duration: Two Minutes. Cooldown: One Month. There were no multiple effects or special effects or any skills for the Divine nt Rule; however, it still made Ajax satisfied because it was quite useful to him. ''Even though I don''t know exactly how much I can speed up the growth of the nts and trees, it must be good, right?'' Since it was a Divine Rule, Ajax hoped it would be quite powerful and decided to test the nurturing effect of his Divine nt Rule. Only by knowing exactly how useful his new Divine Rule, Ajax could put it to good use. ''Let''s not waste our time on the Standard World Tree anymore.'' After the Lesser World Tree became Standard World Tree it became very costly to nurture it and hence, Ajax decided to keep its nurturing on hold for some time. ''Tree of Blessing¡­I will help you reach 10000 years soon.'' Ajax selected his favourite tree to test his Divine nt Rule and without wasting any time, he walked towards it and ced his hands on the [Tree of Blessing]. ''[Divine nt Rule], activate.'' With a single thought, Ajax activated the Divine nt Rule and focused on the Tree of Blessing. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax''s hands shone with a bright green-coloured light that fell on the Tree of Blessing. Soon, the Tree of Blessing started growing slowly but steadily. ''It''s growing¡­it''s growing.'' Ajax became excited when he saw that the Tree of Blessing was growing because he could tell that he was nurturing the Tree of Blessing at a much faster pace than he expected. Nevertheless, Ajax controlled his excitement and focused on the [Tree of Blessing] because he was worried that hisck of focus might decrease the growth of the tree. Time continued to pass and in a sh, two minutes passed. ''Ding, The system detected that the host had reached the limit for using the Divine nt Rule. ''Ding, Since the host has already given permission to automatically deactivate the Divine Rules upon reaching the standard duration, the Divine nt Rule will be deactivated. Suddenly, Ajax received two system notifications in his head, followed by the disappearance of the bright green light from his hands. ''Phew¡­I made the right decision by letting the system automatically deactivate the Divine Rule.'' The first thing Ajax did after waking up in his daze was to heave a sigh of relief. Whenever he activated the Divine Rules, Ajax would have a great feeling and that feeling made him forget deactivating the Divine Rules. Moreover,pared to the other Divine Rules, the feeling from the Divine nt Rule waspletely on a different level. If he didn''t deactivate the Divine Rule in time, even though he won''t die, he would suffer unnecessary side effects from it. Therefore, he heaved a sigh of relief. ''Anyway, let''s check my nurturing effect on the [Tree of Blessing].'' Keeping aside his thoughts, Ajax decided to check the changes in the [Tree of Blessing] that came from his nurturing. Even though Ajax received some system notifications, he was immersed in a great feeling from the Divine Rule, making it impossible for Ajax to check the content in those notifications. Chapter 1705 Elemental Blessing Fruit ''Ding, The host his Divine nt Rule and nurtured the [Tree of Blessing] by 200 years. ''200 years? Isn''t that a little too much?'' When Ajax checked the old notifications, he was pleasantly surprised to see the growth of 200 years in the Tree of Blessing. Even though Divine Rules could be considered the pinnacle-level powers in the Universe, Ajax was not expecting such a huge growth in the [Tree of Blessing] because he had only awakened the Divine nt Rule by one percent. Also, he only used his Divine nt Rule for two minutes and the tree had already grown by 200 years. ''Which means with my current Divine nt Rule, I can nurture a tree by 100 years in a minute.'' Ajax muttered to himself as he continued to think, ''''What if I awaken the Divine nt Rule by more than 10 or 20 percent? I can nurture it by 1000 years in a minute, right?'' By awakening more of the Divine Rule, Ajax could not only increase the nurturing effect of the Divine Rule but he could also increase the duration of his nurturing. ''It looks like I should use the Greater World Cores on this Divine nt Rule after I get a Divine World Core into my hands.'' Even though Ajax has three Greater World Cores in his hands, he was not willing to use them for anything until he merged them into a Divine World Core. ''To further nurture the [Tree of Blessing], I need to wait for one week. But, it''s alright! I can use the nt Essence to nurture it for 3000 years.'' When Ajax used his talent earlier, he nurtured it by 200 years which means, he only needs to upgrade it by another 300 years to get an Elemental Ascendance. However, since Ajax has around 2000 drops of nt Essence, he decided to nurture it till 3000 years old to get another four Elemental Ascendance Fruits. ''Swoosh'' ''Gulp'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly foured 1800 drops of nt Essence and stored the remaining 200 drops forter use. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] reached 1500 years and bore an Elemental Ascendance Fruit. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] reached 2000 years and bore an Elemental Ascendance Fruit. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] reached 2500 years and bore an Elemental Ascendance Fruit along with a special fruit called Elemental Blessing Fruit. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] reached 3000 years and bore an Elemental Ascendance Fruit. A series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head; however, the third system notification caught his eyes as he checked out the new fruit. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Elemental Blessing Fruit. Grade: Mythical Grade. Growth: One fruit will be borne every 2500 years. Use: When an Elemental Spirit consumes this fruit, he/she could receive a blessing that the elemental spirit needs the most. Note: The blessing includes cultivation, awakening of the elemental ascendance, and increase of percentage in elemental ascendance. ''Interesting¡­this fruit is good and will be quite helpful to my elemental spirits.'' After thinking of picking the fruit and giving it to Floris, the nt and Flower-type elemental spirit. Among all his elemental spirits, she is the one with the weakest cultivation. Moreover, she didn''t have much of abat power because she was a support-type elemental spirit like Spirus. ''At her current strength and skills, she can help normal trees and nts and once he bes an Emperor Realm Elemental spirit and awakens the [Elemental Ascendance], it might help me nurture my trees.'' Of course, Ajax was not cing much expectations on them as he already had enough resources to slowly nurture the trees. However, he felt that it was not a bad idea to receive some help from his elemental spirits. ''I think even Spirus can help me since she is a Life Elemental Spirit and she is almost into the Emperor Realm. I think [Elemental Ascendance Fruit] will help her push into the Emperor Realm..'' At the same time, Ajax tossed an Elemental Ascendance Fruit to Spirus. ''Gulp'' ''Gulp'' Soon, Spirus and Floris eat the fruits with excited looks on their faces and in the next second, their entire bodies are covered in a green glow. ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit Spirus has sessfully broken through to Emperor Realm and awakened her [Elemental Ascendance], (1 percent). ''Ding, The host''s elemental spirit Floris has sessfully broken through to Emperor Realm. Spirus was on the verge of breaking through to the Emperor Realm and thus she was able to use the energy from the Elemental Ascende Fruit to break through in her cultivation while awakening the [Elemental Ascendance]. ''They still haven''t awakened any special nt nurturing skills.'' Ajax was a little disappointed to see there were no special skills that he was looking forward to; instead, they awakened some other skills. "Blood, Halo and Prophis try to break through to the Emperor realm as soon as possible to use these Elemental Ascendance Fruits." Ajax didn''t try the same method that he did with Spirus to use the Elemental Ascendace Fruits to help them awaken the [Elemental Ascendance]. ¦Ñ¦Á¦°d¦Ás¦­¦Ïvel All his elemental spirits were still at the high-level King Realm and Ajax wanted to use the Elemental Ascendance Fruit after they break through to the Emperor Realm. "Floris, consume this fruit and awaken your Elemental Ascendance." Since he had three extra Elemental Ascendance Fruits in his hands, Ajax tossed one of them at Floris, who ate it and awakened the [Elemental Ascendance] without any surprise. ''I should get the nt Essence from Uncle Draven and collect more World Cores from Wingo to get a massive upgrade in my trees.'' After seeing the growth and the benefits he got from the Lesser World Tree, Ajax nned to nurture his other Lesser World Tree in the Normal Elven World along with his other two trees. Nevertheless, just because he was in a hurry doesn''t mean he could get the things he wanted as he could only take one step at a time. ''It''s almost time to meet Uncle Dakon; however, before that, I have to check out the Divine Rule awakened by Alder.'' Chapter 1706 Exchanging Resources With Prince Dakon (1) ''Huh? What?'' When Ajax went to the Devourer Eagle King and checked the information on the newly awakened Divine Rule, he frowned for a moment before shaking his head. ''I imagined one thing and what I am seeing is another.'' Ajax bitterly smiled as he continued to check the information on the Bestial Divine Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Wind (1 percent). Effect: Upon activating the Divine Wind Rule, it can teleport to any ce in the world within less than a couple of seconds. Note: It was not a real teleportation and it''s just the speed of the Beast is so fast that it could travel any ce in the world. Skills: None. ''Even though it is not a Divine Devour Rule, even Divine Wind Rule is not bad.'' Ajax silently thought to himself as he felt he could use it to escape. Even though it didn''t mention anything about flying in space, Ajax knew he could use Alder to travel to other worlds before it even awakened the Divine Wind Rule and now, with the help of the Divine Wind Rule, his travel to other worlds through space would only be faster. "Alder, I think you should continue to focus on your Devour Soul and turn it into Divine Rule at any cost. At that time, I believe you might devour an entire world." Even though the Divine Wind Rule was good, it was toomon in the universe and Ajax wanted his Contracted Spirit Beasts to awaken some powerful and rare rule like the Divine Devour Rule. Not everyone can awaken such a rule and hence the Devourer Eagle King has an opportunity to awaken it, Ajax would not let Alder give up on it easily. "Yes, master. I will transform my Devour Soul into Divine Devour Rule." Even Alder knew why Ajax wanted him to awaken the Divine Devour Rule. Therefore, he nodded his head and went back to its ce to focus on absorbing the energy from the corpses it consumed before. Before focusing on the Divine Devour Rule, Alder wanted to be a high-level Emperor Realm Beast and then, he believed it would be much easier for him to awaken the Divine Devour Rule. It was amon practice in the universe that the peak emperor realm cultivators have higher chances of transforming their emperor souls into Divine Rules and Alder knew that much from the ancestral memories it awakened. "Little White, Little Zan, are you ready to awaken the Divine Bestial Rules?" Among all the beasts he had, the winged snow lion cub, and the golden bear cub who re-cultivated into humans have a good cultivation speed. In short, they could be considered the cultivation geniuses after theypleted their re-cultivation as they already reached low-level emperor realm beasts under the nurturing of the Grade 7 Bestial Paradises. Therefore, Ajax decided to help them awaken their Divine Bestial Rules with the help of Bestial Divine Fruits. ''Even though I didn''t hav those fruits yet, I will get the remaining 9 fruits after I meet Prince Dakon at any cost.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax asked the two little children to wait for the good news he would be bringing more fruits for them. If they were unable to awaken their Divine Rules, then Ajax decided to give them more fruit until they awakened their Divine Rules. However, Ajax hoped that they could awaken the Divine Bestial Rules from their first fruit so that, he could help his other contracted spirit beasts in awakening the Divine Rules. ''Now, it''s time to meet Uncle Dakon.'' Soon, Ajax took a look around the inner world before his Divine Spirit Consciousness disappeared from the inner world. Without wasting any time, Ajax directly entered the Trader''s Realm and changed his face into somethingpletely different from his real face. It was an option for the high-level traders who spent more than lots of trader''s tokens and Ajax made full use of it. He would have used a mask; however, Ajax was worried that Uncle Dakon might guess that it was him by looking at his body. Therefore, not only did he change his face but also his body structure and since he was in the trader''s realm, with his current status, he could change his avatar. ¡­ In the Special Trader''s Lounge, "Hello. You must be Prince Dakon, the emperor of the Stormfire Wyvern World." As soon as Ajax entered the special trader''s lounge he booked, he saw Prince Dakon was already waiting. "You must be the Harbinger of World Destroyer that Little Ajax mentioned. Nice to meet you." Since the other party was polite, Prince Dakon was also polite with his words as he greeted Ajax. "Let''s not waste each others'' time and get straight to the point." Ajax didn''t want to stay with Prince Dakon for much longer as he directly came to the point, "I heard you have some resources that I was looking for. Do you mind exchanging with me some other resources that you need?" "Yes." Prince Dakon saw that the other party was not wasting any time, he liked it as he nodded his head before saying, "I am very much interested in the World Cores you have." "World Cores? But I have something else with me that you might like." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax took out 10 Giant Fire Crystals. That''s right! Even though Ajax have three Greater World Cores, two Normal World Cores and nearly 20 Smaller World Cores, he didn''t have any ns for using them for trading with Prince Dakon. Of course, if Giant Fire Crystal didn''t work on Prince Dakon, he would have no other choice than to take out the world cores toplete the trade because he needed some treasures that Prince Dakon had with him. "Giant Fire Crystals? It looks like you have multiple resources to trade with me." Prince Dakon was surprised for a moment; however, when he thought about it, he was no longer surprised as he said, "Let''s talk about the price now." ***** Sorry for the dy...I forgot to set this chapter on a timer. Chapter 1707 [Bonus ] Exchanging Resources With Prince Dakon (2) Giant Fire Crystals are also considered as valuable as World Cores¡­especially among the members of the Dragonheart Society, they were as valuable as the Greater World Cores. With the help of the Giant Fire Crystals, they could help their Sentient mes be more powerful and receive more blessings from them. Also, the Fire-type Dragons could use them to upgrade their Fire-type bestial souls or even Divine me Rules. Therefore, Ajax nned to use the Giant Fire Crystals as he knew Prince Dakon would value them. As for the World Cores, Ajax was nning to use them to merge into Divine World Cores to convert his Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. "Let''s talk about the price now for the items you need." As Ajax expected, Prince Dakon was tempted by the Giant Fire Crystals and he asked for the price. "I want one Life Essence Pearl and an Ethereal Lotus Seed." Ajax already has one Life Essence Pearl that he got from the Lesser World Fruits. So, even though Prince Dakon has three Life Essence Pearls, Ajax only asked for one. As for the Ethereal Lotus Seed, Prince Dakon has only one; otherwise, he would have asked for another one as he has two souls that need new bodies. "Five Giant Crystals each." Prince Dakon knew that the man opposite him was trying to create a body for some soul; however, he didn''t care or be interested in who it was. Instead, he directly quoted the price for the two items. "Let me finish the items I need from you. After that, let''s conclude the price." With a slight smile, Ajax shook his head as he started saying all the items that he had taken a mental note of when he was inside the Treasury of the Stormfire Wyvern World. "Huh? Are you looking for more items?" Prince Dakon was happy as he thought, ''It looks like Ajax had told him about other items in my treasury. Even though I wanted to keep those items a secret, it''s alright!'' Generally, Prince Dakon would have be angry; however, since he was interested in the resources that the other party had, he felt grateful to Ajax. Since the other party was showing interest in his items, he could sell them at a good price and that''s the reason why Prince Dakon was storing those items for many decades now. "You must have heard about the items from Ajax. Go on, tell me what other items you are interested in." Soon, Prince Dakon came out of his thoughts and asked Ajax to tell him about the items. "Bestial Divine Fruits, Rule Enlightenment Pills, Emperor''s Rage Pills, Giant Divine Crystals and nt Essence." Soon, Ajax said the list of items he was interested in, making Prince Dakon shocked. "You¡­are you nning to buy all those items?" The reason why Prince Dakon was shocked is, the price for all these items would be so much that it requires a lot of Giant Fire Crystals. ''It looks like he is much richer than I imagined. I wonder whether he would be taking World Cores to trade with me.'' Since the other party was willing to buy so many items, Prince Dakon was not hesitating; instead, he was looking forward to whether he would be taking out the world core. Even though he could trade half of these items with the World Cores, Prince Dakon was not willing to ask for the World Cores because if he asked for them, the price of the World Cores would naturally increase. If the other party had insufficient Giant Fire Crystals, he would naturally take those world cores out and Prince Dakon could lessen the price of the World Cores. It''s all about someone''s interest in a particr item that ys a significant role in determining the price of the item. "I can give you 1) Four Bestial Divine Fruits. 2) 40 Rule Enlightenment Pills. 3) 50 Emperor''s Rage Pills. ¦Ñ¦Á¦°d¦Ás¦­¦Ïvel 4) 10 Giant Divine Crystals. 5) 10000 Drops of nt Essence. Tell me the price that you will give me for these items along with the two items you asked for earlier. If I am satisfied, I will exchange them." Even though Prince Dakon was saying those items in his treasury to sell them in the future, he was not willing to sell them all because he felt might need them in the future. So, he was willing to sell half a quantity of what he had in the treasury except for the Giant Divine Crystals and the nt Essence. "1) Four Bestial Divine Fruits: 10 Giant Fire Crystals. 2) 40 Rule Enlightenment Pills: 10 Giant Fire Crystals. 3) 50 Emperor''s Rage Pills: 5 Giant Fire Crystals. 4) 10 Giant Divine Crystals: 100 Giant Fire Crystals. 5) 10000 Drops of nt Essence: 10 Giant Fire Crystals. Adding to the 10 Giant Fire Crystals for the Life Essence Pearl and the Ethereal Lotus Seed, it will be 145 Giant Fire Crystals. I can add another 5 Giant Fire Crystals and give you 150 Giant Fire Crystals. What do you say?" Ajax''s prices were a little higher than what Prince Dakon had expected; however, Pince Dakon was a little disappointed because the other party was not willing to take out the World Cores. Among all the Crystals, Giant Divine Crystals were considered the top-notch crystals that could increase the awakening percentage of any Divine Rule, therefore the value of these crystals is 10 times more than the regr crystals. The second rare and valuable crystal was none other than Giant Jade Crystals as they could increase the awakening percentage of Divine Rules; however,pared to the Giant Divine Crystals, their awakening percentage will be half of all the crystals but since they could be used on all types of Divine Rules, they are twice as valuable as the regr Giant Crystals despite being half effective as the other Giant Crystals. ''This human has more Giant Fire Crystals than I expected. Should I just ask for some World Cores?'' Prince Dakon was hesitating to ask to convert half of the payment into World Cores before he heard the other party say, "Since this is my first transaction with you, I will give you a Normal World Core to solidify our rtionship for future transactions." Chapter 1708 Nurturing [Tree Of Blessing] Again The main reason why Prince Dakon decided to meet the Harbinger of the World Destroyer in the Special Trader''s Lounge was to get some World Cores. However, the other party was using the Giant Dark Crystals for the transactions which were also good items. Nevertheless, Ajax knew what Prince Dakon wanted and thus, after thinking for a moment, he decided to give him a Normal World Core. ''Even though it is a little prodigal, I have gained a lot of resources and learned more new things. So, it''s alright!'' Ajax silently thought to himself as he continued, ''Moreover, Prince Dakon is a good person¡­at least to me.'' Therefore, Ajax felt using one Normal World Core was not a bad thing. ''Anyway, I will be getting more than 100 Normal World Cores and more than 2000 Smaller World Cores. So, it''s alright!'' Of course, just because he was getting so many world cores, after merging them into Divine World Cores, he would not even have 5 World Cores. Therefore, he was strictly prohibited from using the World Cores in theing day, unless it was very important. "Thank you." Prince Dakon was pleasantly surprised with the other party''s gift and hurriedly thanked him before thinking, ''It looks like Little Ajax must have a close rtionship with him.'' "I also have a gift for you." At the same time, Prince Dakon didn''t want to take advantage of the other party so he took out three Bestial Divine Fruits and 30 Rule Enlightenment Pills before giving them to Ajax. From Ajax''s perspective, those items could be considered much more valuable than a single Normal World Core. So, he didn''t stand on ceremony and took those items without any hesitation. ''With the addition of these items, I can upgrade my Divine Rules like Divine Death Rule, Divine Demon Rule, Divine nt Rule and even Divine Thunder Rule.'' With the help of the Rule Enlightenment Pills, the consumer can increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule by one percent and Leo has 70 pills. ''Even though the effectiveness of these pills decreased by consuming more and more, it doesn''t matter much as I can just give them to my contracted spirit beasts.'' No matter how many resources he umted, for Ajax, they wouldn''tst for long with his army of Contracted Spirit Beasts. Moreover, he also has some people like his grandfather, Boron, his master Mostror, his follower Wingo, and some old friends that he needs to help. So, it was not a bad idea to form connections with powerhouses like Prince Dakon. "Let''s add each other as friends and meet again in the future to exchange our treasures." With a smile, both Ajax and Prince Dakon left the Special Trader''s Lounge with satisfied smiles. ¡­. Inner World, As soon as Ajax returned to the Normal Dwarven World, Ajax entered his inner world to spend some resources that he got from Prince Dakon. "Little White, Little Zan, eat these fruits and try to awaken your Divine Rules." In Ajax''s view,pared to the normal contracted spirit beasts, the chances of Little White and Little Zan awakening the Divine Rules were much higher. Therefore, he focused more on them as he gave the Bestial Divine Fruits before walking towards Twilight. "Twilight, your luck is good. See what I got for you." With a thought, 60 High-level Jade Crystals, one Giant Jade Crystal and one Giant Divine Crystal appeared in Ajax''s hands as he gave them to Twilight. ''Use these 60 High-level Jade Crystals along with that Giant Jade Crystal to upgrade your Divine Dragon Soul into Divine Dragon Rule. Once you awaken a Divine Dragon Rule, you can use the Giant Divine Crystal to increase its awakening percentage.'' Soon, Ajax gave instructions on how to use those crystals. Even though Ajax have 10 Giant Divine Crystals, he was not nning to use them all on Twilight as he nned to max out all his Divine Rules to 20 percent before helping his other contracted spirit beasts and followers. The stronger he bes, the more resources he has umted for his Contracted Spirit Beasts. So, he didn''t feel bad for any of his Contracted Spirit Beasts for using most of the resources for himself. For now, Ajax believed he had enough resources to max out his Divine Rules to 20 percent without any problems because he had Giant Jade Crystals, Giant Divine Crystals, and Rune Enlightenment Crystals. Moreover, among the six Divine Rules, his Divine Dark Rule and Divine me Rule have already reached 20 percent, leaving him with only four Divine Rules which Divine Thunder Rule has already reached 10 percent. Hence, he believed it was not an impossible task to max out the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. ''However, before I increase the awakening percentage of my Divine Rules, I will nurture my [Tree of Blessing] till it reaches 10000 years.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax went to [Tree of Blessing]. "Master, are you nning to nurture me again?" Seeing Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness form flying towards her, the tree spirit of the [Tree of Blessing], Grade asked with an excited look on her face. "Yes." Ajax replied with a smile as he said, "I hope you can give me some pleasant surprises." After saying that, Ajax directly poured 7000 drops of nt Essence from the 10000 drops of nt Essence that he got from Prince Dakon. ''Swoosh'' The roots of the [Tree of Blessing] moved as they excitedly drank the nt essence and the tree started growing at a rapid pace. Moreover, branches appeared, and the trunk of the tree was thickening as the top branches of the tree started expanding sideways. Even though it was growing at a rapid pace, the [Tree of Blessing] was still at one-fourth of the Standard World Tree''s height and the trunk size was only one-tenth of its World Tree. ''Ding, The host''s [Tree of Blessing] has reached 10000 years old and awakened its third ability [Elemental Transformation]. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has reached 10000 years old and bore a new fruit called [Fruit of Summoners]. Chapter 1709 Gift Of Summoners ? ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has reached 3500 years and bore an Elemental Ascendance fruit. For every 500 years, Ajax would get an Elemental Ascendance fruit and at 5000 years old and 7500 years, he received Elemental Blessing Fruits. The growth of the trees continued as he finally received the system notifications that he was waiting for. ''Ding, The host''s [Tree of Blessing] has reached 10000 years old and awakened its third ability [Elemental Transformation]. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has reached 10000 years old and bore a new fruit called [Fruit of Summoners]. ''Finally, Grace has awakened her third ability and even bore a new fruit.'' Ajax was not surprised because he had already learned that these trees would unlock a new ability when they reached 10000 years old. ''Let''s check what it''s¡­.'' ''Ding, Since the tree has reached 10000 years, it requires 100 times more resourcespared to before to nurture the tree. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has reached 10014 years old. ''Huh? It grew by another 14 years?'' Just as Ajax was about to check the information on the tree''s new ability and the fruit, he received another two system notifications that made Ajax raise his brows. ''Wait a second¡­ is it rted to the Standard World Tree''s new ability [Queen of Trees]?'' Suddenly, Ajax remembers the ability that can decrease the resources required by the trees that were sharing the same ground as the Standard World Tree. ''If not for the 100 times increase in resources, the [Tree of Blessing] would have grown to 11400 years; however, there was nothing I could do about it.'' Shaking his head, Ajax started checking the information on the new ability and the new fruit. ''Ding, Ability Name: Elemental Transformation. Use: The tree will randomly select one of the elemental spirits connected to it and help them transform into real humans. Cooldown: 10000 years. ''What? Can the Elemental Spirits be fully transformed into real humans?'' Even though the Elemental Spirits can transform into humans, it was just a facade. So, when Ajax saw that the Elemental Spirit can transform into real humans, he was thoroughly shocked because he had never heard of such a thing. ''System, do you know anything about it?'' Ajax asked the system about it; however, the system didn''t reply, meaning it also didn''t have any clue about it. ''Ding, The system knows it; however, the host needs to ascend to know about those secrets. As though sensing Ajax''s thoughts, the system hurriedly replied to Ajax. ''It''s alright, system. There are times when some things are behind our scope. Let''s work together and explore the Heavenly Realms in the future.'' Even though the system said it knows, Ajax was very confident that the system doesn''t know anything. As far as Ajax noticed, the system could only collect data about the things that are in this realm and the data about the Heavenly Realm that Ajax learned from others was also stored in the system. Hence, Ajax believed that once he entered the Heavenly Realm, the system could start the analysis and collect the data for him to help him in his cultivation and other things. ''Ding, Whether the host believes it or not, the system doesn''t care. The system suggests the host ascend to know more about the Elemental Spirits and their transformation into humans. ''Okay. I believe you.'' Even though Ajax said that the system could feel that he was just mocking it and in the end, it didn''t send any notifications because it really doesn''t have the data regarding it. ''Grace, you can start the transformation.'' Ajax ordered the tree spirit of the Tree of Blessing and soon, a beam of light was released by the [Tree of Blessing] and itnded on Necros, the Dark and Undead Elemental Spirit. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, Necros'' body was covered in a ckish-green-coloured light as he floated in mid-air. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has used its ability [Elemental Transformation] and helped Necros transform into a human. The process didn''tst for long as Ajax received the system notification and at the same time, he looked at Necros. Necros was still covering his entire body with a purple robe, covering his head with the cape like an evil sorcerer. However, beneath the cape, Ajax saw an evil middle-aged face that revealed an excited smile on his face with his tongue out. ''Even after transforming into a human, he still gives me goosebumps.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax shook his head as he congratted Necros before looking at the fruit that the [Tree of Blessing] bore after reaching 10000 years old. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Fruit of Summoners. Grade: Special Mythical Grade Fruit. Effect: After consuming the fruit, all unofficial elemental spirits under the host will turn into official elemental spirits. Information: This fruit can be consumed only once and the [Tree of Blessing] bears this fruit only when the Summoner takes good care of it. The fruit is to show that it was grateful for his nurturing and giving some benefits to the summoners for all his care in the past. Soon, the information about the [Fruit of Summoners] appeared in front of Ajax, making Ajax freeze for a moment as he looked at the multi-coloured fruit in his hands. ''This small fruit can turn all my unofficial elemental spirits into official elemental spirits?'' There was no limit whatsoever, making Ajax even more excited; however, he was unable to show it on his face. Currently, Ajax has 23 elemental spirits and four of them were official elemental spirits. As for the remaining ones, they were unofficial elemental spirits. What''s more, Ajax was nning to enter an Elemental Spirit World two more times to form a contract with two official elemental spirits and as many unofficial elemental spirits. So, if all of them turned into official elemental spirits, Ajax would give more than 50 skills as he was nning to form contracts with at least 30 more unofficial elemental spirits during his trips to the Elemental Spirit World. ''This fruit could be called Gift of Summoners; instead of Fruit of Summoners.'' Chapter 1710 [Bonus ] Third Commission By having an official elemental spirit, the summoner will get one special skill rted to that particr elemental spirit and of course, Ajax would be excited about it. Unlike other summoners, Ajax could form contracts with the elemental spirits in no time and when he entered the Elemental Spirit World, the only thing he had to focus on was, finding the elemental spirits and convincing them into forming a contract with him. ''I think I should form unofficial contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible in my next two trips to the Elemental Spirit World.'' Even before he received the Fruit of Summoners, Ajax had already nned to form unofficial contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible and after seeing the benefits of the Fruit of Summoners, Ajax decided to go all out in forming contracts with the Elemental Spirits. ''As for this fruit, I can eat it after Iplete my trips to the Elemental Spirit World.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stored the fruit away and looked at the remaining 3000 drops of nt Essence. ''These are not enough to nurture my second Lesser World Tree and the [Soul Nurturing Tree]. I will once again nurture these trees after I get more nt Essence from Uncle Draven.'' The Jade Dragon Emperor had promised Ajax that he would give nearly 100,000 drops of nt Essence, therefore, he decided to nurture the trees at that time. ''Everyone, once you be Emperor Realm Spirits, you can have these Elemental Ascendance Fruits.'' Earlier, when he nurtured the [Tree of Blessing] for 10000 years, Ajax gained another 14 Elemental Ascendance Fruits as he asked Grace to keep them with her for now and should give them to the Elemental Spirits that have sessfully be Emperor Realm Spirits. Soon, Ajax left the inner world and thought, ''I should meet Wingo in the Trader''s Realm and make him invite me to his world.'' As long as the other party was invited to his or her world, one can instantly teleport from his world to the trader''s realm and from the trader''s realm to the inviter''s world. Since they don''t have any teleportation portals connected to the Greater Golden Demon World, Ajax decided to use that method. With that thought in mind, Ajax used the specialmunication talisman tomunicate with Wingo, ordering him to enter the Trader''s Realm. As the previous prime minister of the Golden Demon Territory, Wingo also had ess to the trader''s realm. Therefore, Ajax was not worried too much about it. ''Swoosh'' <[Harbinger of the World Destroyer], the special notice service haspleted the deal. You can go and pick your items> As soon as he entered the Trader''s Realm, Ajax received a notification from the special notice service, making him reveal a satisfied look on his face. ''Until Wingoes, I will go and collect them.'' Soon, Ajax went to the Special Notice Service Center and collected 10 million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. ''Fire, Water, Wing, Earth and Metal¡­.each 2 million supreme grade spirit stones. Good.'' Ajax was satisfied with those spirit stones and with half of these spirit stones, he could fulfil one of the requirements for converting his body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. ''Once the masteres out of the Seclusion, I can also try to help him with the Divine Body Cultivation or I can just give him the Eternal World Fruit that could increase his lifespan by 5000 years.'' Ajax silently said that to himself as he thought about whether he should pay for the thirdmission from the Special Notice Service. ''Currently, I need nt Essence, the more, the better; however, let''s not rush about that.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked the female attendant, "I want to pay amission for low-level Jade Crystals, Metal Crystals, Earth Crystals and all other crystals belonging to all the elements." "Sure, Sir. You can give us the quantity or you can also keep it unlimited just like your firstmission." After receiving the secondmission, the female attendant and the organization behind her didn''t want to try anything funny with Ajax so she politely asked for more details regarding Ajax''smission. "The price I will pay for a single low-level crystal is one million trader''s tokens and if it is a Jade Crystal, I will pay 2 million per crystal and for Divine Crystal, I will pay 10 million trader''s tokens." Ajax started exining the details of hismission as he already learned the cost of the crystals. ¦Ñ¦Á¦°d¦Ás¦­¦Ïvel For crystals like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal, the costs for different levels are as follows. Low-level Crystal = 500k to 1 million trader''s tokens. Mid-level Crystal = 50-100 million trader''s tokens. High-level Crystal = 1-10 billion trader''s tokens. Giant Crystal = base price is trillion trader''s tokens. And for the Jade Crystals, the price will be double the regr crystals whereas the Divine Crystals have 10 times the price. Hence, he offered the highest prices for the Low-level Crystals to make sure the other traders in the trader''s realm sell their low-level crystals to him at any cost. At the same time, Ajax suddenly thought of something and asked the female attendant, "Also, I want to have at least one mid-level, high-level and Giant Crystal for each element except for Fire, Dark and Jade elements. Is that possible?" "We can arrange for the Mid-level and High-level Crystals; however, the Giant Crystal, price will be very high. Are you sure about it?" The female attendant hesitated a little as she asked Ajax. "I will offer 10 trillion trader''s tokens for each Giant Crystal belonging to regr elemental crystals except for Fire Dark elements and as for the Giant Divine Crystals, I can pay 100 trillion trader''s tokens." Ajax quoted some prices that made the female attendant thoroughly shocked by such huge numbers. Even the top sects in this universe rarely had such transactions with them and now, an individual cultivator was doing such a big transaction. "O-okay, sir." The female attendant hurriedly wrote down all the details of themission and asked for the total transaction value. "It will be one quadrillion trader''s tokens." Chapter 1711 Entering Greater Golden Demon World ? "It will be one quadrillion trader''s tokens." After thinking for a moment, Ajax said that transaction value which even the top sects won''t say casually. "Q-quadrillion trader''s tokens." The female attendant was shocked as he noted down the details while thinking, ''From themission from this deal along with my old savings, I can have a hope in buying a Greater World and be the Empress for it.'' Just from Ajax''s twomissions, the female attendant has made enough to buy a low-level normal world and once this thirdmission waspleted, she could easily buy a high-level normal world and even apply for a greater world. ''However,pared to buying the Greater World, I should upgrade my rank in the organization and ascend to Heavenly Realm with its help.'' Soon, she suppressed her old dream and focused on the new dream as she helped Ajax regarding themission. Currently, Ajax had nearly 400 trillion trader''s tokens and as for the remaining 600 trillion trader''s tokens, he was not worried too much as he could just sell 100 Giant Dark Crystals to get one quadrillion trader''s tokens. With the low-level crystals, Ajax could use the system toplete their thorough analysis and start merging them into Giant Crystals. When that timees, whatever Ajax was spending now, he could get 100 times or even more on his investments. Therefore, he was going all out in buying the low-level crystals. "Sir, once the target of one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens is reached, we will inform you." The female attendant controlled her emotions as she politely informed Ajax. "Okay." Ajax didn''t say much as he left the center after paying 300 trillion trader''s tokens as advance. If it was before, the female attendant would have asked Ajax to pay at least 60 percent of the transaction value; however, Ajax had already be a top-tier customer for herpany. Therefore, she didn''t say anything even when Ajax only paid 30 percent of the entire transaction value. Even if Ajax was unable to pay the remaining amount, herpany wouldn''t lose out as they could forcefully take all Ajax''s assets that were connected to the trader''s realm and at the same time, all the crystals would be with them. In short, it was much better for them if Ajax failed to pay them as they could get more profits. Of course, Ajax didn''t have any thought of defaulting as he very much needed different Giant Crystals as he could use them to upgrade his Divine Rule or his contracted spirit beasts. The excess Giant Crystals could be sold to others at a premium price, which would only make Ajax richer. ¡­. "Master." After leaving the Special Notice Service Center, Ajax met Wingo in a special trader''s lounge Wingo respectfully greeted Ajax. "Shall we go now?" After having a brief discussion regarding the worlds, Ajax and Wingo entered the Greater Golden Demon World using the Trader''s Realm ability. Of course, if Ajax wants to go back to his world, he should first enter the Trader''s Realm before returning to his world. ''Ding, The host can''t even use his title [Emperor of the Worlds] to return to the Normal Dwarven World or any other world belonging to the host. ''It''s alright!'' Ajax was not worried much as he checked out the Greater Golden Demon World. The Golden Demon World is a ce covered in mystery and allure, where ethereal golden lights bathe thendscape, creating a surreal and captivating atmosphere. The skies overhead are covered with swirling auroras, casting radiant patterns of light and shadow across thend. If Ajax didn''t witness it, he would have thought that he had entered Heavenly Realm and that''s how beautiful the Greater Golden Demon World was. "Your Highness, how did a human enter this world?" As soon as Ajax appeared and was observing his surroundings, a group of powerful Golden Demon Emperors flew out of who knows where and surrounded Ajax. "Everyone, calm down. He is my benefactor¡­no, the benefactor of the entire Golden Demon Race." Wingo''s aura shot up crazily as all the powerful demons surrounding Ajax felt unbearable pressure. "Apologies, your highness." "We didn''t know..please forgive us, your highness." All those demons hurriedly backed away and gave Ajax a way to walk forward. "Master, do you want to visit the worlds I selected for you now or do you want to take some rest?" Ajax was calm during the entire time as he heard Wingo ask him politely. "There is no need to take any rest. Let''s get to work now." Ajax didn''t have to think much as he directly answered. "Master, there are a total of 2234 smaller worlds and 120 Normal Worlds that I have given you right away. As for the Greater Demon Worlds, all of them were in good condition." Wingo finally said what he wanted to say to Ajax for a while now and continued, "However, if the master really needs a Greater Demon World, I will evacuate them in a single day." "2234 smaller demon worlds and 120 Normal Demon Worlds?" Ajax was surprised for a moment when he saw such a huge number as he replied, "It''s alright! Once we conquer the territories of other Great Demon Emperors, I will just take their Greater Demon Worlds." The number of smaller and normal demon worlds was much higher than he expected. Therefore, Ajax didn''t mind Wingo not giving any Greater Demon Worlds. ''Merging them, I can get three Divine World Cores¡­all I need right now is a Divine Grade Fruit for my Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Ajax was excited; however, in front of Wingo, he remained calm and nonchnt. "Thank you, master." On the other hand, when Wingo heard Ajax''s words, he heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Ajax. "So, did you prepare any Mythical Grade BattleShip for travelling to these worlds?" Even though there were so many worlds for Ajax to extract the world cores, he needed to visit them one by one. So, Ajax asked whether Wingo prepared a Battleship. "I already did; however, at the same time, I prepared something much better." With an excited smile, Wingo guided Ajax to a ce that made Ajax pleasantly surprised. Chapter 1712 Rumours ? In front of Ajax, there was a huge teleportation circle that was at least three times bigger than the teleportation circle in the Stormfire Wyvern World. However, Ajax knew that this teleportation circle was not used for teleporting them to the Dark Region; instead, it was used for the internal use of the Golden Demons to travel between the worlds in the Golden Demon Territory. "With this teleportation circle, we can instantly travel to any normal demon world and the Greater Demon World in the Golden Demon Territory." From the side, Wingo exined, "As for the smaller demon worlds, only a few of them were connected and most of them were not connected." "However, I have ordered all the demons who know the arrays work on them and it won''t be long before we connect all the smaller demon worlds in the territory with this teleportation circle." After saying that, Wingo suggested, "For the smaller demon worlds, the master can use the huge battleship and it would take a couple of hours to five hours to reach a smaller demon world. However, I think it would be better for the master to use the teleportation circle to enter the Normal Demon Worlds." "I don''t have the time to enter the Smaller Demon Worlds one by one. For now, I will just enter the Normal Demon Worlds." Beforeing here, Ajax thought he could spend one week and collect as many world cores as possible before returning to his world. However, after seeing the teleportation circle, Ajax decided not to bother with the Smaller Demon Worlds as it would be a time-consuming process. "But, try to upgrade your Teleportation Circle as soon as possible as I need to enter those smaller demon worlds easily." After saying that, Ajax asked Wingo to activate the Teleportation Circle before entering a Normal Demon World. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The system detected there were no inhabitants in the world. ''Ding, The host can extract the world core or develop the world. Please choose one thing. As soon as he entered the Normal Demon World, Ajax received the system notification and Ajax was not surprised by it. It was because Wingo had already informed him that these Normal Demon Worlds were devoid of any life and would be destroyed after a few centuries. At first, Ajax was worried a little; however, the system assured him that the energy in the World Cores of the world won''t disappear just because the world turned devoid of any resources. ''Let''s not waste our time in nurturing this world; instead, I should just retrieve the world core.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he started working on it. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, more than three hours passed by as Ajax collected all around 80 Normal World Cores. However, he was not in a hurry to merge them as he still had 40 more world cores to retrieve. Under the shock shook in Wingo''s eyes, Ajax continued to extract the world core and he was not worried about revealing his secret to Wingo as he already swore his loyalty to him under the presence of the Heavens. Unless he ascended to Heavenly Realm, he could go against Ajax and that''s what Ajax heard from his Mostror. However, Wingo was yet to awaken his Divine Rule and if Wingo really showed any signs of going against him just before ascending, Ajax knew what he should do. ''It will take another two hours to retrieve the world cores. Let''s take a break.'' Even though Ajax was not tired physically, his Divine Spirit Consciousness seemed a little tired and it was his first time having such a feeling. ''Maybe it was due to the repeated entry into the Core Realm of Wolds without any breaks.'' Previously, Ajax had never entered the Core Realms of the worlds at such a speed. That''s the conclusion he came to as Ajax decided to take a break for a while as he could spare some hours from his busy schedule. ... In the Trader''s Realm, As Ajax was busy retrieving the world cores, an interesting rumour was spreading in the Trader''s Realm at a rapid pace. ''What? The Celestial Dawn Realm is opening?'' ''Wasn''t it opened not long ago? Why is it opening once again?'' ''Who cares? As long as we can enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, we can be more powerful just like how we were able to benefit from thest exploration.'' ''Also, I heard something interesting. The age limit for this time is 500 years. I am going to ask my father to assign me some powerful guards below the age of 500 years to protect me.'' ''Really? Then, we are also going to do it. Our fathers would readily agree to our requests¡­haha.'' There were some young cultivators, some veteran cultivators below the age of 500 years, young masters from powerful families and rogue cultivators¡­everyone was excited about the rumour they heard. ''If that rumour is true then I heard another rted rumour that the price for entering the Celestial Dawn Realm has been increased by 10 times.'' ''What? 10 times? Isn''t that a little too high?'' ''Is that really high? Aren''t you taking some powerful bodyguards with you? Was that possible if it was still limited to 250 years old?'' ''As long as the first rumour is true, then the second rumour is also true. Let''s ask our fathers to start preparing the funds in case the rumours about the Celestial Dawn Realm were true.'' Even though none of these cultivators knew whether what they heard regarding the Celestial Dawn Realm was true or not, they didn''t care as they didn''t want to take any chance and miss a perfect opportunity to change their fates. Soon, they focused on preparing funds for their future. ***** Don''t forget to send Golden Tickets, Gifts and Power Stones. Chapter 1713 [Bonus ] Marketing Strategy ? When the traders saw the notifications from the Special Notice Service Center, they raised their brows and soon, they thought of something. Since the rumour regarding the Celestial Dawn Realm was widespread in the entire Trader''s Realm, all traders were in a hurry to umte as many trader''s tokens as possible to gain ess to the Celestial Dawn Realm. Moreover, since the transaction value was only one billion trader''s tokens, all the traders who had low-level crystals with them hurriedly rushed towards the auction houses and some traders even went directly to the Special Notice Service Center. Even if the rumour regarding the Celestial Dawn Realm was not true, the traders won''t be losing anything; instead, they would be profiting as the price offered by the Special Notice Service Center was the highest price and they didn''t want to miss the opportunity. The ones who didn''t have any low-level crystals, started their adventures on finding them, hoping to find them before the transaction value of the crystals waspleted. ¡­. In the Special Notice Service Center, "Our n is working well. Just after the announcement, we have already exchanged the crystals worth 100 billion trader''s tokens." The Cat Statue was satisfied with the speed at which they were collecting the low-level crystals. Even though the Special Notice Service Center seemed to send a single notice to all the traders in the trader''s realm, they have done much more than that as a part of their marketing. Before announcing the notice, it was the Special Notice Service Center that started the rumour regarding the Celestial Dawn Realm. After that, they intentionally said that the transaction value was only one billion trader''s tokens, making sure that the traders don''t have enough time to think much before selling the low-level crystals with them. "Sir, your marketing strategies are good." The female attendant was surprised at how good the Cat Statue''s ideas were and praised it before asking, ''However, who do we get the Giant Crystals? Shall we look for them in our inventory?'' As a powerful organization that settled in the trader''s realm, the Divine Cat Organization has umted so many cultivation resources over time and the female attendant knew there must be some Giant Crystals in the inventory. "For now, let''s not worry about them. Tomorrow, let''s issue another notice targeting the powerful sects and the families. When they hear the price for the Giant Crystals, they would not mind exchanging some with us." Compared to the regr traders, the top sects already knew that the rumour in the Trader''s Realm was not a rumour and since they were already umting trader''s tokens to exchange for more slots into the Celestial Dawn Realm, the Cat Statue was confident in getting the Giant Crystals. "Sir, I wonder did you get the information on the background of our client?" After thinking for a moment, the female attendant asked the Cat Statue about Ajax''s background. "The trader''s realm is very strict with the backgrounds of every trader. Unless the other party reveals his identity, we can''t find it no matter how powerful we are and how much money we will spend." The Cat Statue turned its head towards the female attendant and informed her about how strict the rules of the trader''s realm were. As for how they knew that Ajax has a Normal Dwarven World because the Trader''s Mirror that gave Ajax ess to the trader''s realm was a treasure connected to the Normal Dwarven World. Therefore, with the loopholes of the trader''s realm''s rules, the Cat Statue was able to tell that Ajax owns the Normal Dwarven World and as long as the other party defaults themission they order, the trader''s realm will let the Divine Cat Organization take over that world without any problem. "Also, inform him that if hemissions for the fourth time, themission fee of 10 percent will be reduced to 5 percent for the thirdmission." As a service, it was their job to retain their client and thus, the Cat Statue informed the female attendant regarding that, making her nod her head. "Sir, regarding the ascending to the Heavenly Realm, how much do I need to spend?" After hesitating for a while, the female attendant asked the Cat Statue. "You need toplete the transaction value of exactly one quintillion trader''s tokens in your entire career and moreover, you don''t need to pay anything for our Divine Cat Organization. However, you can use the trader''s tokens to get the currency used in the Heavenly Realms." The Cat Statue felt that the female attendant was their lucky charm as they got threemissions with increasing transaction values as soon as they hired her. Therefore, he was helping her in ascending to the Heavenly Realm as their business in the Heavenly Realms is much bigger and could definitely make use of the lucky charm attendant. "One Quintillion trader''s tokens?" The female attendant was shocked to see such a scary number and lost hope for a moment. "Haha¡­don''t worry. As long as you work for 100 years, you can easily ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, with your luck, I won''t be surprised if you ascend in just 10 years." Seeing that shocked look on her face, the Cat Statue informed her that working for 100 years would easily help her ascend. "Only 100 years? And only 10 years if I am lucky." When he heard the rough calctions from the Cat Statue, the female attendant became excited and wished her luck to go on like this for another couple of months. ¡­. In the Greater Golden Demon World, ''''Swoosh The teleportation circle in the Greate Golden Demon World shed as Ajax and Wingo came out of it. Even though Ajax looked a little tired, he had an excited look on his face. During thest 8 hours, Ajax had retrieved a total of 120 normal world cores with short breaks in between. ''Finally, it is time to merge them into a Divine World Cores.'' After giving some orders to Wingo, Ajax silently returned to Trader''s Realm before returning to Normal Dwarven World. Chapter 1714 Divine World Core ? ''It''s time to merge the World Cores.'' As soon as he returned, Ajax didn''t take any rest despite being tired as he was excited about merging the world cores into Divine World Cores. ''I have 121 Normal World Cores and 20 Smaller World Cores. For now, I will keep those Smaller World Cores aside as I can either sell them or exchange them for some rare cultivation resources.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax took 120 Normal World Cores out of his space ring and started merging them. 120 Normal World Cores ¡ú 12 Greater World Cores. Adding to the previous three Greater World Cores, Ajax now has 15 Greater World Cores. From those 15 Greater World Cores, Ajax kept 5 Greater World Cores aside and merged the remaining 10 Greater World Cores. 10 Greater World Cores ¡ú 1 Divine World Cores. Soon, a golden-coloured shining orb appeared in Ajax''s hands and just from the light emitted by the orb, Ajax could sense its divine presence. ''With this, I canplete my second requirement for converting my regr spirit cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Ajax checked the three requirements and looked at the final requirement which was the most difficult one, ''Consume a Divine Grade Fruit¡­I need to find a way to get my hands on it as soon as possible.'' Even though Ajax said that he was not hopeful because even in the Secret Cultivation Realms belonging to the top sects, Ajax could tell that finding a Divine Grade Fruit was very difficult. ''It''s alright! I will search for it for a decade or so or I will just nurture my own Divine Tree.'' If someone heard this thought they would look at Ajax like an idiot because nurturing a Divine Tree in the Earth Realm was equivalent to a Heaven-defying thing. However, Ajax felt much more hopeful after thinking of nurturing a Divine Tree rather than searching for the Divine Grade Fruit in the universe. ''Even though the nurturing will only get more and more difficult as the age of the trees increases, I am confident in nurturing a Divine Tree for myself.'' With the system''s ability to merge the World Cores and Crystals, Ajax believed it won''t be an issue. His confidence came from the evolution of a Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree at the age of 10000 years and Ajax believed that he could evolve it again when it reached 100000 years. ''With my knowledge of the trees I gained from my Mother-inw, I believe in one million years, a Lesser World Tree can evolve into a Divine Tree as long as it could evolve at the intervals of 10000, 100000 and one million years.'' Ajax silently thought to himself; however, he didn''t get any reply from the system. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t think too much about it as he slowly nurtured his Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree at 100000 years. ''As for the Divine Tree, I needed to wait for quite a long time; however, it was not hopeless.'' Once Ajax came to this conclusion, he felt much better and thought of his second cultivation which was Divine Body Cultivation. ''I have already collected double the 5 million supreme grade stones and the second requirement can bepleted after I enter the Floating Ind as I will be having a good time there.'' Ajax checked the requirements of the Divine Body Cultivation and focused on the third requirement, ''As for the third requirement, I need to undergo the body tempering with three Sentient mes.'' He had already undergone a body tempering with one sentient me and even had ess to another three sentient mes. ''I should get it done in the next three days and then go to the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Greater Human World to form contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible.'' Since Twilight''s trial will being in seven days, Ajax wanted toplete all his works as soon as possible. With the help of Twilight, Ajax was hoping to get his hands on more resources to make himself and his entire army of elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts stronger. ''I have three Teleportation Tokens that have the Sentient mes.'' Once Ajax nned his schedule, he focused onpleting one of the requirements of converting his regr body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. Thus, he took out the three teleportation tokens which he received from Prince Dakon. ''Ding, Item Name: Teleportation Token. World Connected: Lightning Dragon World. Sentient me: Starfire. Note: The information about the me was added from Prince Dakon''s words. ''Ding, Item Name: Teleportation Token. World Connected: Poison Dragon World. Sentient me: Moonfire. ''Ding, Item Name: Teleportation Token. World Connected: Primordial Dragon World. Sentient me: Sunfire. With a thought, Ajax received the information about the three Teleportation Tokens in his hands along with the worlds Ajax could enter using them. ''Sunfire, Moonfire and Moonfire¡­.let''s undergo the body tempering with the Moonfire.'' Among the three Sentient mes, the Moonfire has the highest rank of 49 whereas the Starfire was ranked at 48th and Sunfire was ranked at 47th. Compared to the Stormfire which was ranked at 91st, these three Sentient mes were much more powerful; however, after learning that the Sentient mes won''t harm the cultivators, Ajax decided to go all out and endure the pain toplete the requirement for his Divine Body Cultivation. ''Let''s enter the Poison Dragon World andplete the body tempering with the Moonfire.'' Once Ajax decided, he didn''t waste any time and kept the other two Teleportation Tokens aside and crushed the Teleportation Token that could lead him to Poison Dragon World. Even though he was a little tired after retrieving the World Cores, Ajax thought that he would take some rest after entering the Poison Dragon World. ''ording to Uncle Dakon, the Ruler of the Poison Dragon World was very cunning and he had to be careful not to get fooled by him. I just need to enter the world, enter the me chamber,plete the body tempering and quietly return to the world.'' ****** Snow''s character illustration is out.

When Ajax took the teleportation tokens, he briefly received information about the three Greater Dragon Worlds and their leaders. Among the three, the Poison Dragon Emperor was the most cunning one and Uncle Dakon had specially warned Ajax to be careful when he met him. Therefore, Ajax kept that thing in mind before activating a teleportation token and soon, a portal appeared in front of him learning of the Poison Dragon World. ''Bane, apany me for this trip to the Poison Dragon World.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax summoned his Poison Elemental Spirit, Bane. Even though Ajax has immunity to some poison, he was still worried a little regarding the environment in the Poison Dragon World and with the Poison Elemental Spirit''s help, Ajax believed that he wouldn''t be poisoned. Bane had already be enlightened into the Way of Poison long back and with a thought, he could control any poison. Moreover, if Ajax was identally poisoned by a rare and special poison, Bane could easily extract the poison from his body and use it to increase his strength. ''Hopefully, my trip to the Poison Dragon World will be smooth.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax and Bane entered the portal. ¡­ Poison Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' Ajax and Bane walked out of the portal and as soon as Ajax stepped on the world, he could feel that thick poison in the air. However, it was not a threat to any emperor realm cultivators unless they stayed for decades without consuming any poison-resistant pills. Even though the poison in the world could be controlled, the Poison Dragon Emperor, Fan didn''t bother to control it for his own purposes. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The traces of poison entered into the host''s body are being refined by the host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. Just as Ajax wanted to check his surroundings to see how a Poison Dragon World would be, he received a system notification. ''Having a Divine Spirit Consciousness is very useful.'' Ajax was not surprised as he shook his head before checking his surroundings. The sky is obscured by swirling mists of poison and the ground is covered in vibrant and otherworldly flora, with each nt oozing toxins or emitting poisonous vapours. Also, there were many small pools filled with venomous liquids. As for the air, it was filled with traces of poison, making the air colourful. In short, this world was not a good idea for vacations even for the Emperor Realm Cultivators as there was nothing good for Ajax to enjoy. "What a beautiful world! Master, how long are we going to stay here?" On the other hand, it waspletely different in the eyes of the Poison Elemental Spirit. For him, this Poison Dragon World was a world that was much better than the Grade 7 Elemental Paradise. Hence, he could not help but ask Ajax about their stay in the Poison Dragon World. ''...'' For a moment, Ajax was speechless at Bane''s words; however, when he realized that Bane was the poison elemental spirit, he knew Bane was telling the truth. "If everything goes as I nned, we can return by tomorrow. If you want, I can ask someone to take you on a trip to the entire world." After thinking for a moment, Ajax said that, making Bane excited. "Are you Ajax who was sent by Prince Dakon from the Stormfire Wyvern World?" As Ajax and Bane were having a conversation, a huge dragon as big as a mountain flew towards them and asked Ajax. "Yes. That is me." Ajax knew that upon using the Teleportation Token to enter a world, the one who was in charge could sense the arrival of the cultivators using the Teleportation Tokens and that''s the reason why Ajax waited. Seeing that the one who came to pick them up was a gigantic Poison Dragon, Ajax was surprised for a moment before nodding his head. "His Highness has asked me to guide you to the me Chamber for undergoing body tempering with the Sentient me. Follow me." Unlike the time when Ajax entered the Stormfire Wyvern World, there was no respect for him from the gigantic poison dragon; however, Ajax was not surprised as he had expected that. ''As long as I don''t meet the Poison Dragon Emperor, my n to undergo the body tempering with the Moonfire would be smooth.'' Not only Ajax didn''t mind such ack of respect from the gigantic poison dragon; instead, Ajax was happy about that. "Bane, let''se again in the future and at that time, I will let you freely venture around the world." Seeing that the other party was not liking them much, Ajax didn''t bother to ask for more requests from them as he convinced Bane regarding his sightseeing in the Poison Dragon World. "Yes, Summoning Master." Bane was not disappointed in the least as he could sense the other party''sck of politeness and what''s more, the dragon was kind of rude towards them, making Bane a little angry. As long as Ajax said a single word, Bane was ready to use his Poison Scythe to chop the gigantic poison dragon into tiny pieces. However, Ajax was not in the mood to fight as he already had a fixed purpose for entering the Poison Dragon World. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax and Bane followed behind the gigantic poison dragon and saw a huge building in the distance. ''me Chamber.'' With a look, Ajax could tell it was the me Chamber because the design of this me Chamber was the same as the one he had seen in the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''ording to Uncle Draven, all these me Chambers were built by Uncle Dakon''s great-grandfather. So, no wonder, they all look the same.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as sent Bane back into the inner world. Since he would be entering the me Chamber, Ajax didn''t want to leave Bane alone outside the me Chamber as he still had a bad feeling regarding this world. "What stones are you paying to enter the me Chamber? Low-level or Mid-level or High-level?" ***** Boost up Ajax''s Poprity to 2 million and Siora''s Poprity to one million to get their Character Illustration. Chapter 1716 [Bonus ] Moonfire ? To enter the me Chamber, a cultivator needs to pay the Darkfire Crystals because they were the basic and mostmonly found in the Dark Region. Depending on the quality they pay, the closer they could go to the Sentient me to undergo the body tempering and the closer they were to the Sentient me, the more painful and more beneficial for the cultivator''s body during the body tempering process. Hence, the moment they reached the me Chamber, the gigantic poison dragon asked Ajax which level of Darkfire Crystals he would be using. "High-level Darkfire Crystals." With a thought, 100 Darkfire Crystals appeared around Ajax before he kept them back in his space ring. For natives of the world, they only needed to spend 10 Darkfire Crystals to gain ess to the me Chamber; however, for outsiders like Ajax, they should spend 10 times more than that which was 100 Darkfire Crystals. "Guide him to the Inner Section of the me Chamber." The poison dragon was not surprised to see the 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals as it ordered one of the two small poison dragons to guide Ajax into the Inner Section. "Yes, Sir." A small dragon nodded its head respectfully. "As for you, if you can''t endure ande out of the me Chamber, you can re-enter unless you get another Teleportation Token belonging to this world." In short, the gigantic poison dragon informed Ajax that he only has one opportunity to temper his body under the Sentient me Moonfire. "Hm" Ajax didn''t speak anything as he nodded his head and soon, he followed behind the small poison dragon. Just the me Chamber in the Stormfire Wyvern World, the three sections in the me Chamber were the same. ''If you were a native, as long as you could endure for the 24 hours, you could get another free chance to enter the Inner Section; however, I can''t get such an opportunity and need to fully undergo the body tempering with this Moonfire.'' As soon as Ajax entered one of the chambers in the Inner Section of the me Chamber, he hurriedly threw 100 unrefined high-level Darkfire Crystals into the holes around the cultivation b. He didn''t want to waste any time and decided to make a deal with Moonfire and get another Divine me Rule. ''My Divine me Rule has already reached 20 percent of awakening, I wonder what will happen if I get another Divine me Rule.'' Ajax made a deal with the previous Sentint me, the Stormfire and awakened a Divine me Rule with one percent of awakening. ording to the Stormfire, he could get a Divine me Rule from the other Sentient mes and they would be merged to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine me Rule. However, currently, his Divine me Rule has been capped with his current cultivation and unless he converts the Spirit Cultivation into the Divine Spirit Cultivation or breakthroughs to mid-level Emperor Realm, the awakening percentage can''t be increased. Nevertheless, Ajax was curious about it and wanted to see what would happen. ''Swoosh'' Soon, pure white-coloured mes came out of the holes from which Ajax had thrown the high-level Darkfire Crystals and covered Ajax''s entire body. Unlike the Stormfire, it didn''t give Ajax any scorching pain; instead, it made Ajax''s mind calm as though it had a soothing effect. ''Huh?'' At first, Ajax seemed to enjoy the feeling of being covered by the Moonfire; however, after a few seconds, Ajax felt something was amiss. ''Ding, The ethereal mes of Moonfire are burning the host''s divine essence of nature, sapping his energy gradually. ''Ding, At its current speed, the Moonfire will be burning one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature in one day; however, it is just the beginning and with time, the speed at which it burns the Divine Essence of Nature also increases. Soon, Ajax received a couple of system notifications informing him what the Moonfire was trying to do to his body. ''Huh? Burning my Divine Essence of Nature?'' For a moment, Ajax was surprised as he finally understood how the Moonfire tempers the cultivators'' bodies. ''Even though one unit of Divine Essence of Nature seems very less, I will be entering the Core Section of the me Chamber and at that time, the Moonfire can burn my Divine Essence of Nature at an incredible speed.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked, ''System, what will happen if a cultivator''s essence of nature ispletely depleted?'' ''Ding, At that time, if the cultivator is still undergoing body tempering, the Moonfire will burn the cultivator''s life force. ''Consuming the life force?'' Ajax was shocked and hurriedly shook his head, ''Even though I have a long lifespan that doesn''t mean I can let the Moonfire burn my life force to temper my body.'' Ajax was not willing or letting the Moonfire do it. ''It was a good thing that I didn''t spend my Divine Essence of Nature and had it filled.'' He heaved a sigh of relief and without wasting any time, he decided to go to the next step. Back in the Greater Jade Dragon World, Ajax was lucky enough to experience the ''Jade Essence Burst'' which not only helped him upgrade his Divine Spirit Consciousness to 1000 units of capacity but he had even filled itpletely. After that, Ajax didn''t use the Divine Essence of Nature much and even the few units of the Divine Essence of Nature that he spent, Ajax recovered it by cultivating during his mission in the Dark Region. With 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax believed that it would be enough toplete the body tempering with the Moonfire. ''Even if it was not enough, I can just spend 16 hours cultivating and fulfilling the Divine Essence of Nature.'' Even though Ajax didn''t want to cultivate in the foreign worlds, he didn''t mind cultivating it as he could now throw everything on his Master and Prince Dakon. "Hey, Moonfire, can you hear me?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax directly took its name and tried to speak with it. Chapter 1717 Divine Moon Rule? ? ''...'' However, there was no reply from the other side, making Ajax shake his head in disappointment. ''I will see how it won''t talk to me.'' After getting no reply from Moonfire, Ajax didn''t bother to shout its names again; instead, he had an even better n for the Sentient me. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, a Giant Fire Crystal appeared in Ajax as he muttered, "I wanted to have a deal with you just like how I had a deal with Stormfire. It looks like l will just find other sentient mes to have a deal." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax directly kept the Giant Fire Crystal back and sat cross-legged before focusing on the body tempering. ''Human, what deal did you make with Stormfire?'' Soon, Ajax heard an old man''s voice in his head and without thinking much, he knew it belonged to Moonfire. "Give me ess to the Core Section and help me finish my Body Tempering as soon as possible." Ajax kept his eyes closed as he stated his first condition, ''For that, I will give you 10 Giant Fire Crystals and of course, other than you, me and the other sentient mes, no one should know about the deal. What do you say?'' ''Done.'' Compared to Stormfire, the Moonfire readily agreed to 10 Giant Fire Crystals, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Good." Ajax didn''t mention the second deal regarding the awakening of the Divine me Rule as he wanted to check something first and he asked, "Take me to the Core Section then." As soon as he said that, the cultivation b that Ajax was sitting on disappeared for a moment as Ajax fell into the hole below it before appearing in the Core Section of the me Chamber. Just like the Stormfire, the Moonfire was hovering in the center of the small room and the entire room was covered with many crystals. ''There seem to be some different crystals here.'' Ajax was not surprised by the environment in the room and the Moonfire; instead, he was excited to see crystals different from Darkfire Crystals in the core section. ''Ding, Other than Darkfire Crystals, there are: 1) Jadefire Crystals (10 percent) 2) Posionfire Crystals (40 percent). 3) Moonfire Crystals (5 percent). Note: There are low-level, mid-level, high-level and even a few Giant Crystals. ''What? Even Giant Crystals?'' Ajax was surprised by the system notification as he searched for the Giant Crystals among the pile of crystals around him. ''If I can analyse them, I can not only merge all of these crystals into Giant Crystals but I can also diffuse them into two separated crystals.'' Ajax became excited as he wanted to make the second deal with the Moonfire. However, he suppressed his urge and at the same time, he was curious about the Moonfire Crystals. ''Since it has the same name as the Moonfire, can''t the Sentient Fire absorb the crystal fully?'' Ajax thought for a moment and asked Moonfire about it. ''Among all the mixed crystals, I like Moonfire Crystals the best; however, I can''t absorb both elements at once. Along the process, I lose so much energy but still, I get most of the energy from these crystalspared to other mixed crystals.'' After making a deal, the Moonfire felt that the human was not bad and answered his question. "So, are you telling me that you prefer Giant Fire Crystals over the Giant Moonfire Crystals?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised and at the same time, he stared at the crystals around him with greedy eyes. ''If only I can find Giant Moon Crystals, my value will increase and even my rank will rise by at least 10 ranks entering into my 30s.'' The Moonfire shared its sorrow with Ajax as it slowly suggested to Ajax, ''Human, if you can bring me a Giant Moon Crystal, I can help you awaken a Divine Moon Rule. What do you say?'' The reason why the Sentient me wanted to make such a deal with Ajax was because he was able to get his hands on Giant Fire Crystals. This means he could get his hands on the Giant Moon Crystal as long as he put some effort into it. Therefore, it made such a deal. "What? You will help me awaken a Divine Moon Rule?" Hearing Moonfire''s words, Ajax was shocked as his eyes shone with excitement. ''Yes. Actually, it is a secret that is only known to the members who formed a contract with us, the Sentient mes. We have helped a cultivator once in a while in awakening our core Divine Rule.'' The Sentient me continued, ''However, as time passed by and new generations came, they stopped giving us the Pure Giant Crystals and only letting us have these mixed crystals.'' ''I don''t know about the other Sentient mes; however, I can tell that their situation was also almost simr to mine. The new generations were using the pure Giant Crystal to increase the awakening percentage of their own Divine Rule or using them as a currency to exchange for other resources.'' By saying there, the Moonfire stopped speaking and waited for Ajax to ingest the information. ''So that''s the reason why the Stormfire was very excited about the Giant Fire Crystals.'' When Ajax made a deal with the Stormfire, he thought that the Giant Fire Crystals were very rare to the point that even the emperor of the Greater Worlds had problems getting their hands on them. However, after entering the treasury of the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax knew that they were not as rare as he imagined as they had some Giant Crystals in their Treasury. Nevertheless, there were not many pure Giant Crystals, making them not share those Giant Crystals with their Sentient mes. As for awakening the Divine Rule, these emperors didn''t need any help from the Sentient me; however, with their help, they could awaken the second Divine Rule which could merge with the first Divine Rule to increase the awakening percentage of the first Divine Rule. Chapter 1718 Three Deals With Moonfire ''Interesting¡­so, ording to what the Moonfire said, the emperors like Uncle Dakon and others who own the Sentient mes can get two Divine Rules as long as they spend one Giant Crystal per Divine Rule?'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he started getting a rough idea of how powerful these Dragon Emperors were. ''Uncle Draven had already awakened 100 percent of his Divine Rule and even initiated the Lightning Tribtion.'' In the past, Ajax didn''t bother to think too much about these things; however, now, after thinking about them, Ajax felt that he was doing the right thing by hiding his strength and resources. Even though he might have multiple Divine Rules, in front of those Emperor Realm cultivators who awakened their Divine Rules by more than 50 or even 80 percent, Ajax can''t stand a chance. If Ajax was identally killed, even though his soul would be protected and could slowly regenerate his body, Ajax didn''t want to go through that process where he had to regenerate his body and re-cultivate once again from the beginning. ''If my guess is right, the Stormfire didn''t get any Giant Fire Crystals from Prince Dakon because it said it didn''t eat Giant Fire Crystals for thest few centuries; however, he must have already awakened a Divine me Rule and Divine Storm Rule.'' Since Prince Dakon was Stormfire Wyvern, he could easily cultivate Bestial Souls rted to Storm and Fire. Once they reached the peak, he could use them to awaken the Divine Storm Rule and Divine Fire Rule. As for why Ajax thought that Prince Dakon didn''t use the Sentient me''s ability to awaken those rules was because he must be nning to use them to increase the awakening percentage of his two Divine Rules after his two original divine rules reach 90 percent. ''Even though I can also do the same thing, it''s alright! Whether it was in the beginning or at the end, both are equal.'' If he used a second divine rule to merge into the first divine rule of the same element in the beginning, it would increase the awakening percentage of the first Divine Rule by 9-10 percent. If the same thing was done at theter stages like above 90 percent, Ajax believed that he might get around a 1-2 percent of increment in the awakening percentage of the first Divine Rule. Therefore, Ajax was not worried too much about it. ''Moreover, I have a system to help me increase the awakening percentage.'' Currently, Ajax had already found three ways in which he could increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. 1) With the help of the respective Giant Crystals or the respective Divine Rules. 2) With the help of the Greater World Cores and since a Greater World Core could help, Ajax believed that even Divine World Cores could also help. 3) Thest is by cultivating more Cultivator''s Souls to the peak emperor realm and converting them into Divine Rules which could merge into the simr elemental Divine Rules increasing the awakening percentage of the main Divine Rules. ''What do you say? Are you interested in the second deal?'' Seeing that Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the Moonfire could not help but ask him once again. "Sure." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax readily agreed to Moonfire''s second deal. Even though Ajax didn''t have any Giant Moon Crystals as of now, it won''t be long before he could have his own Ginat Moon Crystals along with other elemental Giant Crystals. "While we are at it, why don''t we go all out and have another deal?" With a slight smile on his face, Ajax suggested another deal which was originally a deal that Ajax wanted to have with the Moonfire. ''Sure. Let me hear the details.'' After having two deals, Moonfire felt much closer to Ajax than the current Emperor of the World had ever given it a pure Giant Crystal since he became the Emperor of the Poison Dragon World. "I want all the crystals in this core section including the mixed Giant Crystals. In exchange, I will give you 5000 Giant Fire Crystals. What do you say?" Ajax directly quoted the price that he had offered to Stormfire back then and the number of crystals in the core section of Moonfire''s me Chamber were more or less the same. Moreover,pared to the Stormfire''s me Chamber, there were different crystals in this me Chamber like Moonfire Crystals, Poison Fire Crystals, and even Jadefire Crystals. Nevertheless, Ajax offered the same price because he believed that the Moonfire would readily agree with him. ''5-5000 Giant Fire Crystals?'' For a moment, the Moonfire was shocked to hear such a high number of Giant Fire Crystals and before it could agree to the deal, it heard another condition in the deal from Ajax. "Of course, you have to help me awaken a Divine me Rule just like how Stormfire did." From Ajax''s observation, these Sentient mes needed only one Giant Fire Crystal to help a cultivator awaken a Divine me Rule and it was the same for the other Divine Rule they could awaken. From me to me, the Divine Rule changes as the Moonfire could help the cultivator awaken a Divine Moon Rule and Ajax believed the Stormfire could help him awaken the Divine Storm Rule as long as he provides it with a Giant Storm Crystal. ''I feel that these Sentient mes are the catalysts for the Cultivators to awaken the Divine Rules. No wonder the ascenders from the Heavenly Realm were urging everyone to explore the Dark region to find more Sentient mes.'' In short, the Dark Region was a treasure trove for the cultivators; however, it was filled with many dangers that were stopping everyone from rushing into the Dark Region. ''Deal'' Even after hearing Ajax''s additional condition, Moonfire readily agreed to Ajax''s deal just like he expected, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ''Now, let''splete the body tempering first and awaken the Divine me Rule after that as it will be much easier that way.'' Chapter 1719 [Bonus ] Body Tempering With Moonfire ? While Ajax and the Moonfire were making one deal after another, the body tempering process was going on; however, the Moonfire fully restrained itself. However, toplete the body tempering process within a short time, the Moonfire should not restrain itself anymore. Hence, it warned Ajax before slowly increasing the intensity of its power. ''Swoosh'' However, Ajax didn''t feel any pain; instead, he feltfortable all over his body. Of course, Ajax knew that the rate at which his Divine Essence of Nature was burning had increased to the next level. ''Ding, At the current intensity of the Moonfire, one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature will be burnt in a single hour. . . . . ''Ding, At the current intensity of the Moonfire, one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature will be burnt in a single minute. In just a single hour, the burning speed of the Divine Essence of Nature increased from one unit per hour to one unit per minute. However, Ajax remained calm as he had already nned for the current situation. ''The good thing about this Moonfire is that there is no pain whatsoever. So, I can focus on cultivating while undergoing body tempering.'' Previously, when he was undergoing body tempering with the help of the Stormfire, he was barely maintaining his consciousness. However, now, he was not feeling any pain; instead, he was enjoying the feeling. Nevertheless, Ajax knew that once his Divine Spirit Consciousness became empty, he would no longer feel that happiness as he would be burning his life force. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] Therefore, Ajax started circting his cultivation technique to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, within the 100 kilometers radius around Ajax, the energy fluctuations became intense as they rushed into Ajax''s body. Even though the environment in the world was filled with Poison Energy, Ajax was not worried much about it as he learned that his Divine Spirit Consciousness was capable of refining Poison Energy into the Divine Essence of Nature. Moreover, the speed at which he was absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature into his body was good as he only needed one minute to absorb one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''As long as I can maintain the rate at which my Divine Essence of Nature is burning to the rate at which I am absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature, I canplete my body tempering with the second Sentient me.'' Since the system had already informed him of the maximum rate at which the Moonfire was burning his Divine Essence of Nature, he was no longer worried about it and fully focused on absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Even though it might alert the cultivators of the world, it''s alright!'' In the Stormfire Wyvern World, Ajax learned from Prince Dakon that his cultivation speed was equivalent to a special legend-grade cultivation technique that has been upgraded to a good level. Since Prince Dakon had mistaken his God-level Cultivation Technique for a Special Legend Grade Cultivation Technique, Ajax was not worried too much about it because such cultivation techniques were rare. ''Even though the effects of the Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens seemed very less and only equivalent to a perfected realm, it was only at level 1 and in the future, it will only be more and more powerful.'' Ajax was happy that his cultivation technique wouldn''t attract much attention from powerful cultivators like Prince Dakon or the Poison Dragon Emperor. Therefore, Ajax was able to have an easy time undergoing body tempering with the Moonfire. ''Ding, The host has absorbed one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The Moonfire has burned one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 552 / 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. . . . The system notifications were continuously ringing in Ajax''s head; however, he didn''t bother to turn them off as he didn''t want to fully immerse himself in the pleasure he was getting from undergoing the body tempering. ''Even though I have more than 500 units of Divine Essence of Nature, I believe that there is still another level to which the intensity of the Moonfire will reach.'' That''s the reason why Ajax was circting the cultivation technique despite having 500 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Time continued to pass and in a sh, another three hours passed by and Ajax was lucky as the intensity of the Moonfire didn''t increase. Therefore, he was able to still maintain his 552 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Human, get ready for thest hour of my full intensity.'' The Moonfire informed Ajax about thest round of the body tempering session. Initially, the Moonfiree thought it would take at least seven days to help Ajax fully undergo the body tempering with its intensity; however, it was surprised to see the human in the core room has much more energy in this body than it thought. In less than 12 hours, the human was able toplete 90 percent of the body tempering and once he endured thest one hour of full intensity of its mes, the human couldplete his body tempering and it would get 10 Giant me Crystals. Hence, it even waited for Ajax to prepare for himself before starting thest round. ''Swoosh'' Once Ajax gave the signal, Moonfire went all out and released its full intensity. ''Ding, The host has absorbed one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature in a minute. ''Ding, The Moonfire has burned 10 units of the Divine Essence of Nature in a minute. For thest round, the speed at which his Divine Essence of Nature was burning increased by 10 times. Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried much as he roughly calcted and knew it wouldn''t be a problem for him as he would have enough Divine Essence of Nature. ''With 552 units of Divine Essence of Nature, I canst for 55 minutes and as for the remaining 5 minutes, since I can umte 55 units of Divine Essence of Nature in that 55 minutes and as long as I doesn''t stop cultivating, I will get another 5 units of Divine Essence of Nature.'' Ajax was fully confident about it as he maintained his calm and enjoyed the feeling while keeping track of the system notifications. Chapter 1720 Body Tempering With Moonfire (2) ? Time continued to pass and in a sh, thest hour of the body tempering came to an end. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 12 / 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. By the end of his body-tempering session, Ajax was only left with 12 units of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, he was not worried too much about it. Because he had finally received the system notification that he was waiting for. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the Body Tempering with your second Sentient me. ''Ding, Body Tempering with three Sentient mes: 2 / 3. ''As long as I undergo a body tempering with another Sentient me, I can fulfil one of the requirements for Divine Body Cultivation.'' Ajax was in a good mood because, for his current trip to the Poison Dragon World, he gained more than he imagined. Not only will he be getting a Divine me Rule but many different crystals like Poison Fire, Jade Fire and Moon Fire. ''If everything went smoothly, I will get a special Divine Rule, the Divine Moon Rule.'' Ajax was looking forward to awakening the Divine Moon Rule. ''For that, I need to take another trip to the Poison Dragon World and I already have a n on how to enter it without a problem.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he muttered, ''However, there is no hurry for the Divine Moon Rule. For now, I will focus on my Divine Body Cultivation.'' Even though Ajax could use the system toplete the thorough analysis of the Poison Fire Crystals, Jade Fire Crystals and Moonfire Crystals now, Ajax didn''t want to reveal this ability to anyone, including the Sentient mes. Moreover, Ajax felt that with his current Divine Rules, he already has enough strength to protect himself and with a Divine Moon Rule, it won''t make much of a difference in hisbat strength¡­at least that''s what Ajax thought in his head. ''Human, I am still waiting for my payment forpleting my end of the first deal.'' As Ajax was lost in thoughts, he woke up by the Sentient mes and without wasting any time, he took out 10 Giant Fire Crystals before giving them to the Sentient mes. "Since it will take some time toplete our second deal regarding the Giant Moon Crystal, let''splete our third deal." Ajax said with a slight smile on his face as he didn''t wait for the Sentient me''s reply and absorbed all the crystals around him into his space. ''System, show me the numbers of the crystals in the space ring.'' At the same time, he ordered the system to count the crystals element and level-wise. ''Sure'' The Moonfire didn''t mind Ajax taking all its crystals because 99 percent of them were low, mid and high-level mixed crystals and as for the remaining one percent, they were mixed Giant Crystals. Since it was getting 5000 pure Giant me Crystals, it didn''t have to strain itself while eating the crystals and could really enjoy itself. Therefore, Moonfire was more than happy to let Ajax clean up the entire core section. ''Human, it might be painful but it will onlyst for ten seconds.'' The Moonfire gave the warning as it flew close to Ajax just like how the Stormfire did back in the Stormfire Wyvern World. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax felt pain for the first time after entering this me Chamber; however, for him, who had already gone through a lot of different pains, it was nothing as he waited for the system to send him the notifications regarding the number of crystals he took from the core section just now. ''Ding, Darkfire Crystals. 1) Low-level: 100 million. 2) Mid-level: 10 million. 3) High-level: one million. 4) Giant Crystals: 10. ''Ding, Poisonfire Crystals. 1) Low-level: 50 million. 2) Mid-level: 5 million. 3) High-level: 500000. 4) Giant Crystals: 5. ''Ding, Jadefire Crystals. 1) Low-level: one million. 2) Mid-level: 500000. 3) High-level: 100000. 4) Giant Crystals: 3. ''Ding, Moonfire Crystals. 1) Low-level: one million. 2) Mid-level: 100000. 3) High-level: 10000. 4) Giant Crystals: 1. For the system, counting the crystals in the space ring was not a difficult task; itpleted counting down all the crystals in no time. In total there were less than 180 million crystals; however, Ajax was more than happy because, after the analysis, he could merge and diffuse them into Giant Crystals. ''Except for the Darkfire Crysals, calcte how many Giant Crystals I will have after finishing the merge.'' While the Moonfire was helping him awaken the Divine me, Ajax was nning his future. Since he had countless Giant Darkfire Crystals from before, he didn''t bother to check them as he focused on the crystals that were in low quantity and he needed to be careful while using them. ''Ding, Giant Crystals. 1) Poisonfire: 150004. 2) Jadefire: 16002. 3) Moonfire: 3000. ''Ding, After diffusing them, the host will be left with: 1) Giant Poison Crystal: 105000. 2) Giant Jade Crystal: 11200. 3) Giant Moon Crystal: 2100. ''Not bad. I can use them to not only awaken the Divine Rules but I can max out the awakening percentage for my cultivation.'' Ajax nodded his head as he decided to pay more attention to the Giant Moon Crystals while using them. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for awakening a new Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Since a cultivator can''t have two Divine Rules belonging to the same element, they will be merged. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the existing Divine me Rule will be increased by 5 percent. ''Ding, However, since his cultivation is already maxed for his current cultivation, this additional 5 percent will be sealed and will be automatically unsealed when the host''s cultivation is increased. As Ajax was checking out the Giant Crystals he would be getting by merging and diffusing the crystals, he received a series of system notifications, making Ajax reveal a slight smile on his face. ''So, the additional increment in the awakening percentage of the existing Divine Rules will be sealed if I forcefully increase it.'' Chapter 1721 Divine Flame Rule: Moonfire ? Even though his Divine me Rule won''t be having the increment of 5 percent in its awakening percentage, Ajax was not bothered by it. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief as he finally got an answer to his question. ''With this, I can continue to undergo the body tempering with the remaining three Sentient mes and awaken three more Divine me Rules with their help.'' After undergoing the body tempering with the Stormfire and Moonfire, Ajax still has ess to three more sentient mes. They are Sunfire, Starfire and Jadefire. Despite knowing that his Divine me Rule was maxed out, Ajax still decided to awaken another Divine me Rule because he was curious about what would happen. Depending on the oue, Ajax thought about whether he should awaken more Divine me Rules with the help of the Sentient mes or not and now, after seeing the oue, he decided to continue. ''With the remaining three Sentient mes, I can easily break through to 30 percent of awakening percentage.'' Even though he only needed to undergo the body tempering with another Sentient me, Ajax wanted to go all out and get the body tempering done by those three mes since he had ess to them. ''Human, the payment.'' Since it had helped him with the awakening of the Divine me Rule, the Moonfire asked Ajax for the payment who didn''t hesitate to give 5000 Giant Fire Crystals. "Thank you for your help." ''Thank you for the crystals.'' Both the human and the Sentient me thanked each other and were happy with the deal. "Soon, I will bring a Giant Moon Crystal. Get ready to help me awaken the Divine Moon Rule." The soon that Ajax mentioned here is just after the Jade Dragon Emperorpletes his tribtion and ascends to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. In between, Ajax had so many things to take care of to enter the Poison Dragon World just for the Divine Moon Rule. If others heard Ajax saying ''Just for the Divine Moon Rule'', they would go crazy because awakening a Divine Rule was an achievement for all the cultivators in the world. Moreover, awakening a Divine Moon Rule could be considered an overachievement for any cultivator because Divine Moon Rule falls under a special category. ''I will be waiting.'' The Moonfire was already excited to see 5000 Giant Fire Crystals around it and started munching on them. "Okay then, I will go now." Soon, the Moonfire helped Ajax return to the Inner Section of the me Chamber as he quietly left the me Chamber. ''Since no one is bothered about me. I will just leave without informing them.'' Unlike the Stormfire Wyvern World, no one was respectful to him and Ajax didn''t feel any need to inform them about his departure. Moreover, when he leaves the world, they would naturally get the information regarding his departure. Therefore, without wasting any time in the Poison Dragon World, Ajax thought about returning to his world and in the next second, a huge portal appeared in front of him. ''It looks like my short cultivation session didn''t cause anymotion in this world.'' Ajax took onest look around his surroundings and thought about themotion caused by him in the Stormfire Wyvern World before entering the portal. Of course, when he thought about it, Ajax guessed the reason. The Stormfire Wyvern World was only a normal dragon world whereas the Poison Dragon World was a Greater Dragon World where Legend Grade Cultivation Techniques are asmon as clouds in the sky. ¡­. In the Normal Dwarven World, ''Swoosh'' Ajax walked out of the portal and the teleportation token connected to the Poison Dragon World has disappeared into nothingness. ''Let''s take a short break before resuming my Body Tempering Mission.'' With that being said, Ajax wanted to check the changes to his Divine me Rule. Even though the awakening percent of the Divine me Rule was sealed, Ajax felt that there were some changes in his Divine me Rule. ''As I expected, there is a new skill.'' There were only two changes and they were none other than one additional effect and one additional skill. ''Ding, Divine Rule: me (20 percent). Note: + 5 percent (Sealed). New Effect: The cultivator can burn his Divine Essence of Nature to activate the Divine me Rule even when it was in the cooldown. For 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature, the Divine me Rule can be activated for one minute. New Skill (Sealed): Moonfire. Skill Information: Upon activation of the skill, the cultivator can burn the Divine Essence of Nature or even his life force to temporarily boost his battle power until 25 percent of his battle prowess. Note: It requires 250 units of Divine Essence of Nature to temporarily boost the cultivator''s power by 25 percent. ''With this new effect, I can instantly use the Divine me Rule whenever I want without worrying about the side effect.'' Between the new effect and the new skills, Ajax liked the new effect a lot. As for the new skill, even though it was good, it could only increase his battle prowess by 25 percent. Nevertheless, Ajax was not looking down on it as he could stack the battle prowess from the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline with this 25 percent boost and increase his battle prowess to the next level. ''However, the skill is sealed and I can''t use it anytime soon. So, there is no need to think too much about it.'' Ajax knew it was sealed and could be unlocked when the awakening percentage of his Divine me Rule reaches 25 percent. ''Anyway, there is no need toin about it.'' Ajax shook his head as he asked the system, ''System, do the thorough analysis on the Poisonfire Crystals, Jadefire Crystals and Moonfire Crystals.'' Previously, in the Greater Jade Dragon World, the system had only analysed the Jade Crystals. Therefore, Ajax had to order the system to do a thorough analysis of the Jadefire Crystals this time because he had to diffuse them into Jade Crystals and the Fire Crystals. Chapter 1722 [Bonus ] Lightning Dragon World ? In Lightning Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' A portal opened as Ajax walked out of it. The Lightning Dragon World has a diverse range ofndscapes, from towering mountain ranges crowned with asional lightning and thunderstorms to vast ins illuminated by crackling lightning bolts that streak across the sky. Each and every nt in the world was emitting tiny lightning sparks, making the entire world sparkling and beautiful. ''This world is much more beautiful than the Greater Jade Dragon World and even the essence of nature is pure and intense. I wonder how much time it will take to absorb a unit of the Divine Essence of Nature?'' With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time and summoned Cerauno, his only lightning/thunder elemental spirit to stand guard. Of course, even by standing guard, the elemental spirit will be greatly benefitted from the pure lightning and thunder essence in nature. [Dargon-Soaring Nine Heavens] Since Ajax didn''t have to worry about his cultivation speed gaining traction as he decided to cultivate. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, there were energy fluctuations within the 100-kilometer radius around Ajax and energy gushed into his body. ''Ding, The host cultivated for a minute and absorbed 2 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. As Ajax expected, the speed at which he was absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature in the Lightning Dragon World was twice as fast as his cultivation speed from the Poison Dragon World and the Stormfire Wyvern World. Just like how no one bothered with the energy fluctuations in the Poison Dragon World, even in the Lightning Dragon World, no one cared. There were even some flying lightning dragons who saw Ajax sitting in the middle of nowhere to cultivate. They were only surprised for a moment before concluding that he must be a guest who entered the Lightning Dragon World with the help of the Teleportation Token. ''These humans¡­.when entering a foreign world, can''t they restrain themselves from cultivating whenever they want?'' Theyined about how Ajax was cultivating their world; however, they didn''t bother to waste their time arguing with Ajax as they knew their emperor would give them a warning to him. ''Swoosh'' On the other hand, Ajax didn''t know all passerby lightning dragons were angry at him; however, even if he knew he couldn''t care less. Time continued to pass. It took 30 minutes for someone from the royal family toe to receive Ajax. During these 30 minutes, Ajax got 60 units of the Divine Essence of Nature which he felt was not enough before he started the body tempering under the Starfire. "Human, didn''t Prince Dakon inform you that cultivating right after entering the world using the Teleportation Token is not a good thing?" It was a middle-aged human wearing lightning armour who came to receive Ajax. As soon as he saw Ajax was cultivating, he shook his head and warned Ajax not to do such a thing again in the future. "Sorry." Ajax knew it was not a good thing to do but he still could not resist the urge to cultivate with such pure energy around him. Nevertheless, he apologized without any hesitation before asking, "But, is there a n that I can cultivate in the world?" "Human, as far as I know, you came to this world to undergo body tempering, right? Why are you bothering to cultivate?" The guide raised his brows as he asked Ajax without answering Ajax''s question. "It is because my Spirit Consciousness is empty and I want to fill itpletely before undergoing the body tempering." Ajax didn''t lie as he told the truth to the guide, making the middle-aged guide nod his head in understanding. "Hm" After hearing Ajax''s exnation, the guide thought for a moment and said, "If you can give me 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals, I can take you to the cultivation chambers that have a Mythical Grade Essence Gathering Array. Are you interested?" "100 high-level Darkfire Crystals? Mythical Grade Essence Gathering Array? I am interested." Without wasting the guide''s reply, Ajax took out 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals to him. ''...'' The middle-aged guide said those words jokingly; however, he didn''t expect that the human in front of him would readily take 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals out. Seeing those 100 high-level Darkfire Crytals, the guide was speechless; however, after thinking for a moment, ''It''s alright! I will just use my authority to get him into one of the cultivation chambers for a day.'' "However, the cultivation chambers can only be avable for one day for foreigners like you and of course, it would be costly." Since Ajax was able to take out 100 high-level Darkfire Crystals, the guide felt that the human kid in front of him was quite rich and decided to make some quick bucks. Even though he works for the royal family of the Lightning Dragon World, he was the lowest-level servant and had to do whatever he was told to do. Therefore, making some quick bucks was always his thing and it was doing the same thing with Ajax. "I can give you 1000 high-level Darkfire Crystals¡­only after Ie out of the Cultivation Chambers." Even though Ajax knew that the guide wanted to take advantage of him, Ajax didn''t mind as he knew everyone was trying their best to get the resources. Moreover, after entering the me Chamber, Ajax could get another huge batch of crystals. Hence, spending some Dakfire Crystals didn''t hurt Ajax because he cared about getting his things done. "1-1000 High-level Darkfire Crystals?" For that many Darkfire Crystals, he had to work an entire year and now, he was going to get 1100 High-level Darkfire Crystals just to help him get into the Cultivation Chamber. For him, it only costs 10 high-level Darkfire Crsytal to spend an entire day in the Cultivation Chambers. So, he will be making a profit of 1090 High-level Darkfire Crystals. So, how could he not be shocked? "Sir, follow me." In the next second, the way he addressed Ajax changed as he respectfully guided Ajax to the cultivation chambers in the Royal City which was the number one in the entire world and helped Ajax enter it without any hassle. ''As long as you have money, you can get things done easily.'' Ajax was calm as he sat cross-legged and started cultivating. Chapter 1723 Special Notice ? Cultivation Chambers are special ces that were built with special arrays that could speed up the rate at which the essence of nature entered into the cultivator''s body. Depending on the grade of the arrays and the ce they were constructed, the cultivation speed of the cultivator would be determined. Currently, Ajax was in the Royal City that was already covered with many arrays to increase the purity of the essence of nature in the city. What''s more, he was using the cultivation chambers in the city that had a Mythical Grade Array. So, Ajax had high hopes for his cultivation session. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax started circting the Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens, he felt his body be a ck hole that''s wanting to devour everything. However, Ajax knew it was not his body that became a ckhole; instead, the Mythical Grade Array in the cultivation chamber was forcing the energy into his body. ''Ding, The host circted his main cultivation technique for a minute and absorbed 10 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. After one minute, the system notification that Ajax was waiting for finally appeared, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ''At this current speed, I need less than two hours to be filled by the entire Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' After seeing his absorption speed, Ajax became excited and without wasting any time, he decided to go all out. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 1000 / 1000 units. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one and a half hours passed by as Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness was filled. ''Even though I am in a hurry toplete my body tempering, I can spend a day on my cultivation and improve the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax had thought to increase the capacity of the Divin Spirit Consciousness after entering the Floating Ind; however, he felt there was nothing wrong in increasing it right now. ''Since I have to increase it to one million units of capacity, it''s alright to spend some time on cultivation in this environment.'' Ajax felt that he found a good ce to increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness and decided to spend a day as it would not only increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness but it would also help him be focused on his goal. ''Let''s begin.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax started his one-day cultivation session. ''Ding, The host spent 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and upgraded the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by 10 units. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0 / 1010 units. First, he emptied his Divine Spirit Consciousness to upgrade the capacity and then started his cultivation. ''Ding, The host circted his main cultivation technique for a minute and absorbed 10 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host¡­ . . . Soon, the system notifications rang in Ajax''s head as he repeated the process of filling his Divine Spirit Consciousness before emptying it to upgrade its capacity. ¡­ ''With my authority and the 1000 high-level Darkfire Crystals, I can apply for the Secret Cultivation Realm when it opens in this century.'' Outside the cultivation chamber, there was a good inn and in the inn, the middle-aged guide was waiting for Leo while thinking of his future. ''If all the guests I am assigned to be like him, then, I am going to directly buy the cultivation resources from the royal treasury itself.'' The middle-aged guide sat crossed as he cultivated in the inn. Even though a cultivation chamber only costs 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals for a day, it was still quite high for the guide who was umting all his wealth for the Lightning Dragon World''s secret cultivation realm that will be opened within the next 100 years. ¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh, it''s already been a day since Ajax entered into the cultivation chambers. ''Ding, The Divine Spirit Consciousness: 1150 / 1150 units of Divine Spirit Consciousness. Even after spending an entire Ajax was able to upgrade the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by only 150 units. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with it as he walked out of the Cultivation Chambers. "Here." The first thing that Ajax did after walking out of the Cultivation Chambers was to give the guide his payment. Even though it was too much, Ajax didn''t mind spending it as he benefited from it. "Thank you, Sir." Receiving the high-level Darkfire Crystals, the guide thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart. "Let''s go to the me Chamber." Since Ajax had already wasted a day, he directly asked the guide to bring him to the me Chamber. "Yes, Sir." The guide felt that Ajax was in a hurry and hurriedly executed his orders. ¡­. The design of the me Chamber in the Lightning Dragon World was almost simr to the me Chamers in the other dragon worlds that Ajax had visited except for some minute changes. Of course, those minute changes are required to perfectly merge the me Chamber with the environment in the world. "Wee, Sir." The ones who were in charge of guarding the me Chamber had already received word from the guide and therefore, when they saw Ajax and the guide, they respectfully weed Ajax. "Guide sir to the inner section of the me Chamber." Unlike in the Poison Dragon World, no one bothered to ask Ajax to show the high-level Darkfire Crystals; instead, the guide ordered the guards to help Ajax into the Inner Section. "Sir, please focus on your body tempering and I will be waiting outside for you." The guide excitedly sent Ajax into the inner section of the me Chamber and only when Ajax was out of view, the guided stopped acting and found a seat to sleep. ¡­. While Ajax was focusing on his body-tempering mission, the entire Trader''s Realm turned upside down with a new notice from the Special Notice Service Center. [In 20 days, the Celestial Dawn Sect will be opening the Celestial Dawn Realm. Interested traders can buy the tickets from us] Chapter 1724 Costly Tickets ? There was a special notice regarding the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm and of course, it was a big thing for all the cultivators of the entire universe. Even though the news regarding the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm was already known to the remaining top four sects, it was not known by others¡­.at least officially. Once this news was confirmed by the Special Notice Service, it turned the entire Trader''s Realm upside down. "Let''s go and check out the price for the ticket to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm." Despite hearing the rumours regarding the Celestial Dawn Realm, it still made them excited and all the cultivators belonging to sects other than the top sects and the rogue cultivators along with the cultivators from the other regions became curious about the price of the ticket. Only after learning about the price of the ticket, they could start nning their adventure in the Celestial Dawn Realm. Of course, even if they didn''t have any funds, they could figure out a way to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm because there are still 20 days before the Celestial Dawn Realm officially opens. [The price of a single entry to the Celestial Dawn Realm is 100 Billion Trader''s Tokens] [In case you want to exchange the ticket for the resources, it is also possible]. By the time they reached the auction house and the branches of the Special Notice Service Centers, huge banners were hanging at the entrance. ''100 Billion Trader''s Tokens? Isn''t that a little too much?'' ''Yeah. I heard from my father that thest time, it was only 10 Billion Trader''s Tokens per ticket. Why did they increase the price of the tickets by 10 times?'' ''Wait a second¡­what is that?'' As many cultivators wereining about the increase in the prices of the Celestial Dawn Realm''s ticket, they noticed a new banner magically appeared beside the two already existing banners. [The age limit for entering the Celestial Dawn Realm has been increased to 500 years] ''What? The age limit is 500 years?'' ''Looks like the rumours we heard arepletely true.'' ''Damn it¡­why did they increase the age limit? Did I ask them to do that? Until a few seconds ago, I thought I had a choice but now, I don''t have any hope as my father perfectly meets the criteria to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' . . . Those who were above 250 years old were happy with the increment in the age limit whereas the sons of those cultivators became extremely sad. The 100 billion trader''s tokens were not a small amount for rogue cultivators or cultivators from the low-ranked sects. Just to buy a single ticket, they have to sell their entire savings and assets and there was no way they could buy two tickets. Also, since the fathers have more experience and power than the sons, obviously, the fathers would enter the Celestial Dawn Realm because they couldn''t afford two tickets. ''Anyway, let''s try to sell our cultivation resources and convert them into trader''s tokens outside.'' Even though they could exchange the cultivation resources for the Celestial Dawn Realm''s Tickets, no one would bother to do that as they knew they could get the least exchange rate. Moreover, there would be a 10 percentmission on the exchange rate. Therefore, even though the price for their cultivation resources might be less than before the notice was released, most cultivators preferred to exchange their cultivation resources for the trader''s tokens outside. [The Client has just increased the transaction value of the Crystals to one Quadrillion trader''s tokens] [Also, he is willing to buy one Pure Giant Crystal belonging to each element at a premium price and mixed crystals for half that price. Come quick and exchange it to get the best price before it''s toote] As the traders were finding ways to get more Trader''s Tokens, they suddenly received another two notices from the Special Notice Service Center, making all the traders including the top sects shocked. For a single cultivator, a transaction value of one Quadrillion was quite high and with that amount, he could easily buy 10000 tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm. So of course, they were shocked. ''Let''s go and sell the Giant Crystals in our treasury along with all the mixed and pure low, mid and high-level crystals.'' Even though the Sect Leaders were usually busy, they would always keep an eye on the notices from the Special Notice Service Center because they knew that some bigshot was behind that organization. Hence, when they saw the notices regarding the purchase of the Crystals, they didn''t waste any time as they rushed to sell all the crystals lying in their treasury, their space rings and their entire worlds. Even though they were valuable, for them, they could gain more resources by entering the Celestial Dawn Realm and thus, they were converting those crystals to Trader''s Tokens to buy more tickets into the Celestial Dawn Realm. Also, the sects were in a hurry to sell their Giant Crystals because ording to the notice, they will be buying only one Giant Crystal per element andpared to a single Giant Crystal, they won''t get many trader''s tokens by selling the low, mid and high-level crystals. In short, it was apetition between the sects. Moreover, it was not just the sects but the powerhouses from the Dragon Region also got the news as they hurriedly sent their servant to exchange the crystals¡­especially the Giant Crystals for trader''s tokens becausepared to the human cultivators, the entry price for them was one trillion trader''s tokens. So, they were also putting their efforts into getting as many tickets as possible to send their most powerful dragons into the Celestial Dawn Realm. ¡­.. In the Core Section of the me Chamber, Lightning Dragon World, Time continued to pass and in a sh 12 hours passed by from the time Ajax entered the me Chamber as he opened his eyes when he received the system notifications. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the body tempering with the Sentient me: Starfire. Chapter 1725 [Bonus ] Starfire ? ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the body tempering with the Sentient me: Starfire. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully fulfilling the second requirement towards his Divine Body Cultivation. Ajax opened his eyes with the system notifications in his head as he fell to the floor and gasped for breath. Ajax waspletely clueless about the things happening in the trader''s realm as he was entirely focused on his mission of undergoing body tempering. As soon as he entered the me Chamber, he made a deal with the Sentient me, Starlight just like how he made the deal with the other mes. It took him around 12 hours toplete the body tempering with the help of Starfire and it was the most painful body tempering process he had suffered from the Sentient mes. ''I thought that I would lose my consciousness and even Starfire was suggesting to me that I should stop the body tempering process.'' While gasping for breath, Ajax muttered to himself as he continued, ''However, I was able to endure it¡­barely.'' ''Human, I thought you will be dying and I will end up as a WildFire. Thankfully, you endured it and survived.'' Compared to Ajax, Starfire was the happiest one because if it identally killed Ajax, then it would lose its sentience and be a WildFire. Therefore, when Ajax managed to endure and survive, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief and praise Ajax for his endurance. "Shall weplete our second deal?" After taking a small rest for five minutes, Ajax stood up, took out a Giant Fire Crystal and tossed it at the Sentient me before reminding the Sentient me about their second deal. ''What? Do you want to do that already? Don''t you want to take some more rest?'' The Sentient me was surprised to see that Ajax had already recovered; however, it didn''t bother to wait for Ajax''s reply and started doing its work. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Starfire flew towards Ajax as he felt the familiar scorching pain along with powerful lightning arcsnding on him. However, he endured it because he was taking the Sentient me''s help to awaken his Divine me Rule for the third time. The closer the Sentient me came towards him, the more intense the mes were and the more pain Ajax felt but still, he gritted his teeth and endured it. ''It will be only for 10 seconds¡­only seconds.'' While saying that, Ajax counted down, ''10¡­ 9¡­8....1.'' ''Ding, The host has received the blessing from the Sentient me: Starfire and awakened a new Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Since the host has already awakened a Divine me Rule, the new Divine me Rule will be merged with the existing Divine me Rule. ''Ding, The changes in the Divine me Rule are: 1) +5 percent increase in the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule (Sealed). 2) New Effect: Increase the attack powers upon activation of the Divine me Rule by three times. (Stackable with the bloodline''s effects). 3) New Skill: Starfire (Sealed). The moment the Starfire touched his forehead, a series of system notifications rang in his head as Ajax learned that he had sessfully awakened a new Divine me Rule and merged it with the existing Divine me Rule. ''Like before, there is a new effect and new skill under my Divine me Rule; however, I can''t use the skill until I break through in my cultivation.'' Ajax was not worried too much about it and was satisfied with the effect that can increase his battle prowess by three times. ''The thing is I didn''t expect that awakening a new Divine me Rule would increase the awakening percentage of my main Divine me Rule by 5 percent.'' ording to what Ajax understood about the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rules, the higher the percentage, the more difficult it would be to increase it. However, the increment in the Awakening Percentage remained the same by merging the Divine me Rules that he awakened with Moonfire and Starfire. ''Human, take the crystals in this room andplete our second deal.'' Seeing that Ajax was lost in his thoughts, the Sentient me asked Ajax to wake up as it reminded him about their second deal. The Sentient me, Starfire and Ajax already had two deals. One, bringing Ajax into the Core Section andpleting his body tempering process for a single Giant Fire Crystals. As for the second one, it was exchanging all the crystals in the core room along with helping Ajax in awakening the Divine me Rule in exchange for 5000 Giant me Crystals. "Here." Ajax came out of his thoughts and absorbed all the crystals around him before giving the 5000 Giant Fire Crystals to Starfire. ''Thank you.'' Seeing them, the Starfire was excited just like any other Sentient me and started munching on them. On the other hand, Ajax ordered the system about the crystals and received the count of them. ''Ding, 1) Starfire Crystals: 10 million (10 Giant, 10000 High-level, 200000 Mid-level and remaining low-level crystals) 2) Darkfire Crystals: 200 million. 3) Jadefire Crystals: 15 million. There were only three types of crystals in the core section; however, Ajax was satisfied with them. ''System, start the analysis on each one of the Starfire Crystals.'' Ajax had alreadypleted the thorough analysis of the Jadefire Crystals. So, he ordered the system to do a thorough analysis of the Jadefire Crystal. "Starfire, when I have time, I wille back again and at that time, I will bring a Giant Star Crystal. I hope you can help me awaken the Divine Star Rule." Ajax made another deal with the Starfire just like his previous Sentient me before leaving the me Chamber. He gave another 10 high-level Darkfire Crystals to the guide before quietly leaving the world. ¡­ ''In the same flow, let''splete the body tempering with the Sunfire.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax crushed thest teleportation token in his hand intending toplete the body tempering with the Sunfire. As for the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax still didn''t have any clue about it. Chapter 1726 Primordial Dragon World, Sunfire ? In the me Chamber, Primordial Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the body tempering with the Sentient me: Sunfire. Without wasting any time, Ajax used the final teleportation token that he got from Prince Dakon and entered the Primordial Dragon World. Since the trial for Twilight ising soon, Ajax was in a hurry toplete the body tempering process before entering the Greater Jade Dragon World. By entering the Greater Jade Dragon World, not only could Ajax let Twilight participate in the Trial belonging to the Dragonheart Society but he could also undergo the body tempering with the Jade Fire in the world. With that thought in mind, Ajax directly made simr deals with the Sun Fire and sessfullypleted the body tempering within 12 hours. ''Maybe it was because my body had already been tempered by three Sentient mes, the pain from this Sentient me was not much.'' For some reason, Ajax seemed to develop a passive resistance against the Sentient mes; however, with System''s help, he could tell that his body was fully tempered with the Sunfire and won''t be tempered anymore. ''It''s time for the second deal.'' Soon, Ajax took all the crystals in the core section and took Sunfire''s help to awaken another Divine me Rule. ''Ding, The host has received the blessing from the Sentient me: Starfire and awakened a new Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Since the host has already awakened a Divine me Rule, the new Divine me Rule will be merged with the existing Divine me Rule. ''Ding, The changes in the Divine me Rule are: 1) +5 percent increase in the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule (Sealed). 2) New Effect: Cultivation speed and attack power of the Sun-attributed skills and cultivation techniques by 100 percent and it includes the skill Sunfire. 3) New Skill: Sunfire (Sealed). Soon, Ajax received simr system notifications regarding the Divine me Rule. Of course, the awakening percentage was temporarily sealed along with the new skill. ''The effect is not very useful; however, since the power of the Sunfire will be increased, it''s alright!'' Currently, Ajax didn''t have the time to learn more cultivation techniques as he was already busy with many things. Moreover, he felt there was no need to learn more cultivation techniques unless he found some Demi-God Cultivation Techniques or God-level Cultivation Techniques. However, finding them won''t be that easy unless he ascends to the Heavenly Realm. ''Anyway, I have sessfullypleted my short goal of tempering with the three Sentient mes and I can focus on another goal now.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he checked the crystals he gained from the Core Section of the me Chamber. ''Ding, Types of Crystals: 1) Darkfire Crystals. 2) Primoridalfire Crystals. 3) Jadefire Crystals. 4) Sunfire Crystals. There were four types of crystals in the core section and the quantity was much more than the previous me Chambers, making Ajax nod his head in satisfaction. ''With all the crystals I have collected, I will be having millions of Giant Crystals.'' Of course, it was bybining all types of Giant Crytals because he didn''t have much of Sunfire, Moonfire and Starfire Crystals. ''But, it''s alright! When then I can awaken the Divine Rule and upgrade their awakening to 20 percent. Moreover, I can exchange one Giant Crystal each for the Sunfire, Moonfire and Starfire to directly awaken new Divine Rules and upgrade the awakening percentage of Divine Sun Rule, Divine Moon Rule and Divine Star Rule by another 5 percent.'' Ajax had nned everything, making him satisfied with his nning and at the same time, he also thought about the crystals he would be collecting from the Special Notice Service Center. ''I am hoping I can get different types of crystals like nt, Dead, Demon, Divine and soon.'' With different crystals, Ajax could merge them into Giant Crystals before awakening new Divine Rules. ''I wonder whether there will be any benefits for having multiple Divine Rules.'' Ajax was expectant regarding his ascending to the Heavenly Realm with all his Divine Rules having reached 100 percent awakening. At that time, Ajax believed that he would get more benefits¡­of course, the system remained silent about those things and didn''t tell him about anything. ''Let''s return.'' Soon, Ajax returned to the Normal Dwarven World and rested for a while before entering the Five Elemental World to check up on his father. He had left his father''s soul in the Five Elemental World with Elder Ren and let the Master-Disciple have the conversation. Even though he knew that Elder Ren would protect his father''s soul, Ajax could not help but worry about him and wanted to check on him. ''At the same time, I can help Raweth and Sparrow awaken their Divine Rules.'' He even thought of helping his two contracted spirit beasts in the Five Elemental World who were looking after their tribes. With the help of the Giant Fire Crystal, Ajax could help Raweth transform his Bestial Soul into a Divine me Rule and as for Sparrow, it had two bestial souls, one rted to Nether Element whereas the second was rted to Dark Element which he was nning to upgrade into Divine Dark Rule. ''Once I help them awaken their Divine Rules, they would be on par with the Emperor Realm Cultivators who cultivated for thousands of years and along with their re-cultivated treasures, they could easily overpower them.'' Just thinking about it made Ajax happy because he didn''t want the simr incident that happened to Snow to happen again and as long as his contracted spirit beasts have the Divine Rules, their chances of surviving in any ce of the universe would increase. In this universe, even if a cultivator has a Divine Rule with a 50 percent awakening, he didn''t want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. It was because the moment he deactivated, he would no longer have a trump card to protect himself and his enemies might use that as an opportunity to kill them. Chapter 1727 World Conquering Sects Hidden Truth ? To kill others who have awakened a Divine Rule, a cultivator needs to use a Divine Rule or something that has more or less the same power. However, those consumable things were so valuable that the cultivators would prefer to use their Divine Rules; instead of those consumable things. So, if Raweth and others awakened a Divine Rule, the other cultivators would think twice before using their Divine Rules. ''There are still two days before the trial. I should take a quick tour to the Five Elemental World and then enter the Greater Human Worlds.'' Ajax still needed to use his two chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World and he preferred to enter the Elemental Spirit Worlds that were connected to a Greater Human World, hoping to find some rare and powerful elemental spirits. Of course, even though he was aiming to find the rare and powerful elemental spirits, he still preferred to have more elemental spirits and thus, he nned to do both depending on the situation. ''Five Elemental World.'' With a thought, Ajax entered the Five Elemental World and went to meet his father and Elder Ren. "Son, I was thinking of contacting you." Seeing Ajaxing towards him, Aron spoke first before asking Ren, "Little Ren, I think it is time for Ajax to enter our World and meet your subordinates." ''Huh? Our World? Meeting subordinates?'' On the other hand, Ajax was shocked when he heard Aron''s words and hurriedly asked about it. "Son, previously, I only wanted you to live your life and take revenge on my own; however, I learned something from Ren that made me unable to wait any longer." Aron spoke in a serious voice as Ajax listened while suppressing his emotions. "You must have heard about the World Conquering Sect, right?" Seeing that Ajax was listening, Aron hesitated a little before asking about the World Conquering Sect. "Yes and ording to the information avable in the outside world, it is quite an evil sect that destroyed the world." Ajax didn''t think much as he recited the information he got on the World Conquering Sect. ''...'' Aron remained silent whereas Ren clenched his fists; however, he didn''t move from the ce and didn''t show any emotions on his face. "Don''t tell me that. Tell me what you think and feel about the World Conquering Sect?" After staying silent for a moment, Aron''s soul asked Ajax another question. "Hm¡­I don''t believe that information was quite true¡­at least the part where they were going on a rampage to destroy the worlds." "Moreover, in this universe, what is righteous and what is evil? Everyone is doing everything in their power to survive and be powerful so that they don''t be victims." After thinking for a moment, Ajax gave his thoughts on the World Conquering Sect and ended with one final sentence, "However, what I can say is that the World Conquering Sect had a death wish for selling the world cores they collected without hiding their identity." "So, they are really foolish and at the same time, they are not powerful." Ajax felt that his father had something to do with the World Conquering Sect; however, he still said his honest thoughts on the World Conquering Sect. Despite having so many Divine Rules, Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits, Ajax was already thinking a lot when he was doing something special and of course, there were times when he was short-sighted and learned some lessons the hard way. However, the World Conquering Sect showed off its rare ability and wealth, making it an evil sect and got destroyed by the other top sects that imed themselves as the righteous sects. "You are right! We¡­no, I was foolish." To Ajax''s shock, he heard something from his father that made him not believe his ears. "Y-you¡­don''t tell me that Father was the sect leader of the World Conquering Sect." Ajax calmed himself as he asked his father about it. "Hmm¡­I am not the sect leader and even Ren was not the sect leader because we were busy with our things." Aron came close to Ajax and exined, "Actually, the sect was started and was sponsored by me and Ren. Whereas the sect was maintained by Ren''s friend and his father." "It was me who offered them the World Cores and asked them to quietly convert them into resources for the sect to grow." "Initially, it was going at a rapid pace and within less than 10-15 years, a no-name sect created by me was able to reach the point where it couldpete with the top five sects with hundreds of thousands of disciples. What''s more, all of them have the cultivation of King Realm." "There were more than 10000 Emperor Realm Cultivators." "The connection between me and the sect was only known to Ren, Ren''s friend and his father¡­even Brother Mostror didn''t have a clue about it." "I thought that the rate at which the Sect was growing would be enough to form connections with the Ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Realm." "ording to the ancient records, by killing a huge number of our enemy race like demons, some ancestors might be interested in us and send us some Divine-level Treasures for the sect and as long as one gets such a treasure and a connection from the ancestor, then the World Conquering Sect would officially be a Top Sect." "Sadly, while I was fulfilling that mission, I was killed by those so-called righteous sects and from Little Ren, I learned that the World Conquering Sect fell soon after my untimely death." Aron revealed some of the things that he didn''t say to Ajax previously and Ajax became very serious about it. "Even though, I don''t want you to take revenge on those sects because I have to destroy those top 5 sects with my own hands for killing me and destroying my sect." Aron didn''t wait for Ajax and exined what he had to do next, "All you have to do is enter thest surviving world belonging to the World Conquering Sect and help thest few survivors of the sect." Chapter 1728 [Bonus ] Secret World ? Even after exining everything, Aron didn''t want his son to take revenge on his behalf because he was waiting for himself to do that. However, Aron learned about the few remaining survivors of the sect and wanted Ajax to help them with their cultivation. Of course, Aron stressed one thing, "Whatever you do, you have to be careful and not get into the eyes of those so-called top sects." "Father, there is still a world belonging to the World Conquering Sect that was not destroyed by the top sects?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised because he didn''t expect the top sects to not find an entire world. "That was a secret world that was directly under the control of Me and Ren and the survivors in the world should not leave the world or ess the outside world." Aron became a little sad as he exined, "Either I or Ren would enter the world to give them some resources from time to time and ording to Ren, it''s been 500 years since Ren paid them a visit." "Currently, they might be waiting for Ren to receive the cultivation resources and because of the array I ced around the world, they can''t even leave that world to search for their cultivation resources." "So, I request you to pay a visit to that world and help them with the cultivation resources you have with him." Aron knew that Ajax had umted lots of cultivation resources. So, he requested Ajax to take care of his subordinates in that secret world. Aron would have not asked Ajax for help if Ren was not stranded in the Five Elemental World and he was barely able to recover his injuries and didn''t have any time to umte the cultivation resources. Moreover, even if Ren starts working now, it would take some time to umte the resources for those cultivators in the Secret World and Aron, who was already feeling guilty for them, could not bear to dy the cultivation resources they were supposed to receive. "It''s just a small matter, Father." After listening to his father''s words, Ajax had gotten a clear picture and without thinking much, he gave his word to Aron. For Ajax, who was already nning to create his own organization, it won''t be a bad thing to directly recruit some powerful cultivators. ording to Ren, thest time he had entered that world was around 500 years ago and they had already reached the peak Emperor Realm Cultivation. So, Ajax felt it was a good idea to recruit those Emperor Realm Cultivators who might have already awakened the Divine Rules. "However, how can we enter that world? Do you have an idea about it?" Before Ajax learned about the secret world belonging to his father, he learned from Ren that he could not return to his world. Since his father was talking about entering that world belonging to him, Ajax felt that his father might have already found a way to return to that world. Therefore, Ajax was curious about how they would be entering the world. "I have a way." Aron''s soul orb flew into Ajax''s body as Ajax heard his father''s voice in his head, ''Say these words, ''I am the ancestor of the World Conquering Sect and I need ess to the Secret World''.'' ''I am the ancestor of the World Conquering Sect and I need ess to the Secret World''. Even though Ajax was a little doubtful about it, he still followed it because they were just some words. ''Ding, The host has gained ess to the Secret World left behind by the previous host of the system. ''Ding, Please wait for a while before the host can enter and leave that world whenever he wants; however, to do that, he should not be engaging in any fight or conversation. As soon as Ajax finished saying the words that Aron asked him to say, a couple of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head, making him shocked. ''So, I was having ess to a Secret World that was filled with powerful Emperor Realm Cultivators, all this time.'' After reading the system notifications, Ajax could not help but bitterly shake his head before asking his father, ''Father, I am in a hurry now. If you want, I can enter and quickly assess the situation in the world for now and bring the necessary cultivation resources for them, after half a month?'' In two days, there is a trial for Twilight and Ajax wants to be present so that in case something goes wrong, he could protect Twilight from all those powerful dragon emperors. ording to the Jade Dragon Emperor, the trialsted for one week and after that, Ajax needed to enter the Floating Ind with a two-day gap. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Ajax asked his father if he could give them the cultivation resources in half a month and as for now, he wanted to check out the situation in the secret world. Only by knowing the current cultivation of the cultivators and what they needed the most, Ajax could efficiently help them. ''Sure.'' Aron didn''t mind as he knew that his son was busier than him back in his teens. ''ording to the system, it needs some time. Until then, I will quickly take a trip to the Shixato Wilds and help my Contracted Spirit Beasts.'' Ajax didn''t want to waste his time and wanted to make full use of every minute. Therefore, until the system fully gave him ess to enter the Secret World belonging to Aron, Ajax wanted to help his contracted spirit beasts awaken the Divine Rules. ''What? You can help the contracted spirit beasts awaken the Divine Rule?'' At first, Aron wanted to say, ''Okay ... .return as soon as you get full ess.'' However, when he realized what Ajax wanted to do, he was extremely shocked. ''Haha¡­do you want to know about it? Then apany me and you can witness it.'' Ajax replied with augh as he asked his father to apany him. Since they transmitted their voices, Ren was clueless about their conversation and stood there hoping to return to his Secret World. Chapter 1729 Helping The Contracted Spirit Beasts (1) ? ''Swoosh'' Ajax and behind Ajax, Aron''s soul orb watched Raweth who waspletely covered in bright red-coloured mes. If it was regr cultivators, even a low-level emperor would have trouble enduring the intensity of the mes that were covering Raweth. However, those mes did nothing to Ajax because he had already tempered his body with four Sentient mes and awakened five Divine Rules so far and merged them into his Main Divine Rule. As for Aron''s soul orb, Ajax was shielding him from the intensity of the mes, protecting him. ''Son, we can awaken the Divine Rules with the help of these Giant Crystals.'' Aron was enlightened as he witnessed the process of Raweth Awakening the Divine Rule. Even though Aron was the previous host of the system, he was killed before he got to learn about those things. Moreover, it was nearly 10000 years ago when the Dark Exploration was just getting started and they were yet to find the regr low-level mixed crystals, not to mention finding the Pure Giant Crystals was almost impossible at that time. Also, there might be cultivators who must have already had their hands on those Giant Crystals; however, no cultivator was ready to share their resources or information with others as they wanted to be a powerful cultivator and control the entire universe before ascending to Heavenly Realm. As for Aron, after getting killed, he fell into a Normal Human World where had lost his entire time in re-constructing his body and after that, he had to deal with the demons who were trying to invade the Purple Stone World which became his home. During that process, he and his wife sacrificed themselves while protecting their souls, to protect the Purple Stone World. Therefore, Aron didn''t know many things that Ajax currently knows and of course, Ajax was still ignorant of the things that Aron knows about the Universe and the Heavenly Realm which Aron knew that Ajax could find out sooner orter. Time continued to pass and it took 10 minutes for Raweth toplete his awakening of the Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beasts, Raweth for sessfully awakening the Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Do you want to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule? Soon, Ajax received the system notifications and at the same time, the system asked Ajax whether he wanted to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. ''Do it.'' Ajax was not short of the Giant Fire Crystals and since he wanted his contracted spirit beasts to be as powerful as possible to survive even in his absence, Ajax decided to go all out and ordered the system to upgrade the awakening percentage. ''Ding, A Giant Fire Crystal has been consumed and Raweth''s Divine me Rule''s awakening percentage has been increased by 8 percent. ''Ding, For the second Giant me Crystals, it increased by 4 percent. ''Ding, From the third Giant me Crystal onwards, it increased by one percent until it reached 15 percent of awakening. ''Ding, After 15 percent, it took a total of 50 Giant Fire Crystals to upgrade the awakening percentage from 15.1 to 20 percent. A series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head as the system exined to Ajax how much percentage Giant Fire Crystals increased the awakening percentage for each level. In total, it took 55 Giant Fire Crystals for Ajax to help Raweth reach 20 percent of Divine me Rule''s awakening. ''It''s alright! I still have a million Giant Fire Crystals.'' Ajax had umted lots of Giant Darkfire Crystals along with other crystals. Among them, Ajax doesn''t have to worry about the Giant Dark Crystals and the Giant Fire Crystals. "Master, I feel full of energy even before activating my Divine me Rule. If I had this kind of strength back then, I would have protected Snow." Raweth clenched his fists as he said, "Thank you for making me stronger, master. I will not let another of my friends, brother and sister lose their lives in front of my eyes." After Snow''s incident, Raweth and Sparrow med themselves for being unable to protect Snow and worked hard seriously after that to be as powerful as possible. However, now, with Ajax''s help, Raweth had be very powerful in no time and swore to protect everyone. Even though they knew that Snow''s soul was still around and Ajax was trying to reconstruct a body for her, still, it didn''t lessen their guilt. "I know." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he said, "All you have to do is look after your tribe and make it as strong as possible." Ajax believed that the Fire Crow Tribe and the other two tribes in the Shixator Wilds had a lot of potential since they were able to reach the level where they triggered the lightning tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, Ajax thought that with his help, he could send as many of these re-cultivation spirit beasts as possible to the Heavenly Realm. ''Even though I don''t know how exactly the Heavenly Realm would be, by having as many ascended beasts and humans as possible in the Heavenly Realm would help me.'' That''s one of the reasons why he wanted to create an organization and support it even after ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. "Master, I will make the Fire Crow tribe as powerful as possible." Raweth nodded his head. "Okay then. You can go now." Soon, Ajax sent Raweth and asked his father, "Father, did you see that? As long as someone is an Emperor Realm Cultivator, I can help them awaken a Divine Rule." ''Son, do you have so many of these Giant Crystals? If you give them to those cultivators in the Secret World, they would finally walk on the path of ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' Aron was excited to see such a powerful cultivation resource and asked Ajax about them while thinking about his followers in the secret world. ***** The author is preparing a MASS RELEASE for his BIRTHDAY this week. As for the date, I will not reveal it. Motivate the author with GOLDENTICKETS, and GIFTS to increase the chapter count for the mass release. Thank you. Chapter 1730 Helping The Contracted Spirit Beasts (2) ? Generally, awakening a Divine Rule already takes more than a century for a genius and increasing its awakening by a single percentage would take at least a decade or two. So, by increasing the awakening of the Divine me Rule by 20 percent, Ajax had literally saved Raweth two or three centuries of cultivation time. Of course, it is in the case of a genius like Rawethand not everyone was a genius. In the case of the mediocre cultivators, without any fortuitous encounters, it was almost impossible to awaken a Divine Rule and even after awakening a Divine Rule, it would take 50 to 100 years just to increase it by 1 percent. So, for those cultivators, if Ajax was able to increase their awakening percentage of the Divine Rules by 20 percent or even 50 percent depending on their cultivation, it would save them 1000 to 2000 years for a low-level emperor realm cultivator and 2500 years to 5000 years for a mid-level emperor realm cultivator. Hence, Aron could tell right away that these Giant Crystals were the pinnacle cultivation resources for the cultivators. Therefore, he hoped Ajax would share such cultivation resources with the pitiful cultivators that were stuck in the Secret World. "Don''t worry, Father. I will take care of them." Ajax decided to treat those cultivators as his future subordinates and help them the best he could. ''Swoosh'' "Sparrow, you are here. Let''s not waste any time and start the process." As Ajax and Aron were having the conversation, Sparrow flew towards them and descended in front of Ajax. Without wasting any time, Ajax followed the same process that he did with Raweth and helped Sparrow awaken a Divine Dark Rule using her Dark Bestial Soul. Unlike Raweth, Sparrow has two Bestial Souls. One belongs to Pure Nether Element whereas the other belongs to Pure Dark Element. With Giant Dark Crystals, Ajax helped Sparrow awaken the Divine Dark Rule and just like Raweth, he increased the awakening percentage to 20 percent which was the maximum that Sparrow would awaken at her current cultivation of the low-level emperor realm. "Thank you, master." Sparrow''s emotions were simr to Raweth''s as she thanked Ajax with a deep bow before she returned to her tribe. ''System, show me the Divine Rules awakened by Raweth and Sparrow.'' Seeing the disappearing Sparrow, Ajax asked the system to show the effect of the Divine Rules awakened by his contracted spirit beasts. ''Ding, Divine Rule: me (20 percent). Effect: 1) Immunity to all fires including Sentient mes. 2) Cultivation speed of the Fire-rted cultivation techniques will be increased by 100 times. Skill: Raging Fire Crow: Upon activation of the skill, the user will be invincible for 20 seconds. Note: All effects and skills belonging to the Divine Rule can be used only after activating the Divine Rules. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown: One Week. First, the system showed the information on Raweth''s Divine me Rule, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''The second effect¡­100 times the cultivation speed can be very useful for Raweth and after the skill [Raging Fire Crow], there is no need to talk about it.'' One helps Raweth in cultivation whereas the other one temporarily makes him invincible. So, Ajax was satisfied with Raweth''s Divine Rule before checking Sparrow''s Divine Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Dark (20 percent). Effect: 1) Upon activation, the bestial cultivator could transform into a cloud of smoke and escape any attack. Skill: Dark Smoke Burst: She can absorb all the dark energy around her into a Mysterious Smoke before busting it, covering a range of 20 kilometers. Note: Those who were affected by the smoke will instantly die if their Divine Rule''s awakening percentage is less than hers and those who survived will temporarily lose their sight. The effect of temporary blindness depends on the strength of the enemies. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown: One Week. ''As for Sparrow, the effect could help her escape easily and as for the skill, it will aid that effect in her escaping.'' Of course, Ajax didn''t think much about the effect that the cultivators would die instantly. If they could be instantly killed, Sparrow could kill them even without using that skill. ''But still, having that skill makes Sparrow go against the huge groups of cultivators and those who were weaker than her could not gang up on her as she could instantly kill them all.'' The main reason why Ajax was powering up his contracted spirit beasts was not because he was nning to use them to kill his enemies; instead, he was powering them up because he wanted them to protect themselves. With his 20 seconds of invincibiltiy, Raweth could protect himself whereas Sparrow could easily escape with her Divine Dark Rule''s effect and skill. Hence, Ajax was satisfied with it. ''Also, Sparrow has a second Emperor Soul with which I can help her awaken the Divine Nether Rule.'' Ajax knew that for now, Sparrow could survive and in the future when she awakens Divine Nether Rule, her attack power reaches to the next level because it was her main attacking bestial soul. ''Ding, The host has gained full ess to the Secret World left behind by the previous host. ''Ding, The host can enter and exit the Secret World whenever he wants except for the time when he was in activebat. As Ajax was checking the Divine Rules of his Contracted Spirit Beasts, Ajax received two system notifications, making him nod his head. "Father, I have gained full ess to the Secret World." Ajax had informed his father about it and his father replied, "Let''s go and bring Elder Ren with us." "I can do that?" Ajax was surprised about it because the system didn''t say anything about it. "Of course, you can bring one person every time you visit¡­." ''Ding, At the host''s current level, he can bring 100 cultivators with him while entering the Secret World. Just as Aron was exining the permissions that a host can have to enter the Secret World, Ajax received the information about how many cultivators he could bring with him. Chapter 1731 [Bonus ] Cat Statues Business Mind ? Ajax didn''t think that his father was lying about bringing only one person with him into the Secret World. Instead, Ajax believed that he had already be much more powerful than his father at his peak and the more powerful he became, the more powerful and useful the system would be. Therefore, Ajax could tell that he could bring more people with himpared to his father back then. "Yes, Father." Even though he learned that he could bring 100 cultivators with him, Ajax didn''t exin it to his father and nodded his head at Aron''s words. "Let''s go then." Soon, Ajax flew towards the cave Ren had settled in and after exining something, Ajax was all set to enter the Secret World. As for Ren, he learned from Aron that Ajax had a way to enter the secret world already. So, he was not surprised much; however, he was excited about returning to the Secret World and meeting his old acquaintance. ''System, open the portal to the Secret World.'' Once everything was ready, Ajax ordered the system about it. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Ajax ordered the system, he could sense the spatial fluctuations around him and slowly, a small portal appeared in front of Ajax. The small portal started growing and eventually grew into a huge portal that was even enough for Twilight in his true form to enter it. "Let''s go." Soon, Ajax, Aron''s soul orb and Ren entered the portal before the portal disappeared. ¡­. In the Special Notice Service Center, Trader''s Realm, ''How is the progress on ourtestmission?'' The Female Attendant received a voice transmission from the Cat Statue regarding themission that Ajax ced. "Sir, so far, we have collected five types of Giant Crystals and millions of low-level crystals. As for the total transaction of the deal, it had already reached 800 trillion trader''s tokens." The Female Attendant rushed to the Cat Statue and respectively informed the Cat statue. ''Good.'' The Cat Statue moved its head in satisfaction with the progress of the deal. ''Once the target of one Quadrillion trader''s tokens reaches, continue to buy them crystals.'' After thinking for a moment, the Cat Statue exined clearly, ''However, decrease the price to 50 percent.'' "Sir, even 50 percent is still a little high. How about we buy it at 30 percent and in the current situation, the traders would still rush to sell their crystals." The Female Attendant thought about it for a moment and suggested the Cat Statue. Even though she was just an attendant, she was brave enough to share her thoughts and suggestions depending on the situation in a polite manner. ''Haha¡­little girl. Don''t think too much about it. By purchasing the crystals at 50 percent, we can still make a lot of profits because I believe that clients of ours will buy more crystals at the same price.'' The Cat Statue was an entity that lived for tens of thousands of years and had enough experience with business-rted things and thus, it was following its intuition. "So, Sir wants to sell those crystals to clients at a full price making 50 percent profits and adding the 10 percentmission, the profits to the organization will reach to the next level." The female attendant realized that she became too greedy and also when she heard the Cat Statue''s line of thoughts, she finally understood that. "But, what if the Client doesn''t buy them?" However, she suddenly thought of something and asked Cat Statue about it. ''We will wait for a decade or two until a new clientes requesting us for the crystals. At that time, we can go with the same n.'' The Cat Statue transmitted its thoughts to the Female Attendant and exined, ''Even with intion and all for the next one or two decades, we can still make lots of profits on what we are spending now¡­hehe¡­meow.'' "Yes, Sir. I will prepare our next notice and will release it as soon as the transaction value of the currentmission reaches one quadrillion trader''s tokens." The frame attendant was about to leave the room when she heard the Cat Statue''s words in her head once again, ''Also, prepare anothermission of a value of Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. The item we will buy for thismission is nt Essence.'' "nt Essence?" The female attendant turned around and looked at the Cat Statue with a surprised look. They were already nning to buy crystals for a quadrillion trader''s tokens after Ajax''smission waspleted. And now, the Cat Statue was ordering her to release anothermission with a value of one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. "Yes. My cat guts are telling me that our client will be buying more drops of nt essence because I can tell that he was clearing and nurturing some nts¡­most probably a Lesser World Tree." A being that lived for more than tens of thousands of years, the Cat Statue could tell that Ajax would be buying more and more drops of nt essence. Since the current situation was better to buy the resources, the Cat Statue decided to umte the resources and sell them to their client. "As for the price, let''s buy them for 100 million trader''s tokens." Generally, the price of a single drop of nt essence was around 500 million trader''s tokens and since Ajax wanted to get the nt essence as soon as he could, he raised the price to one billion trader''s tokens. As for the cat statute, it nned to buy a single drop of nt essence for just 100 million trader''s tokens. ''I will contact the Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan. I believe that we might even get the nt essence of 50 million trader''s tokens if we buy in bulk from him.'' Currently, all the cultivators in the world were in a hurry to get the trader''s tokens¡­it was especially true for the Dragons from the Dragon Region because they need to pay one trillion trader''s tokens for a single entry into the Celestial Dawn Realm. Therefore, he decided to contact the Forest Dragon Emperor who nurtured so many trees and had ess to nt-based resources including nt Essence. Chapter 1732 Entering The Secret World ? nt Essence can be obtained from lesser world fruits; however, it was not a stable source because as the Lesser World crosses the age of 10000 years, it would give a Lesser World Tree for every 1000 years. Also, the chances of obtaining the nt essence from these fruits will be lessened as the tree grows older. Another stable source was collecting from the old trees that could not be upgraded by the nt essence and at the same time, they won''t bear any fruits or give other benefits except for giving nt essence at regr intervals. These trees were called Essence Trees. Nevertheless, some powerhouses nurtured different types of Essence Trees and collected the nt essence before using it or exchanging it for other cultivation resources. Among such powerhouses, the Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan, was one of them and he was famous for it. Therefore, the Divine Statue decided to contact him to buy the nt Essence from him in bulk. Even if Ajax didn''t buy the nt Essence from them, the Divine Cat Organization won''t lose much from it as they would be selling the nt Essence when there was a huge demand for the nt Essence in the market. "I will start working on it, Sir." The female attendant learned so much from the Cat Statue as she returned to her work. ¡­.. In the Secret World, ''Swoosh'' A portal opened as Ajax and Ren walked into it Ajax checked out his surroundings the moment he entered the world. Thend is barren and cracked, with parched riverbeds and withered foliage. It exists as a huge contrast to the dense and richnds where cultivators thrive. The skies are perpetually overcast, casting a murky, grey light over thendscape. Maybe it was due to theck of cultivation resources, the world was deste and gave Ajax the vibe that it would be destroyed in another 1000 or 2000 years. "Father, I think we should bring all these cultivators away from this world." Even before Ajax could meet the cultivators in the world, the first thing he thought of was to move the cultivators from this world to the other world. "From now on, they will be your subordinates and I believe you can lead much better than me." Aron''s soul orb came out of Ajax''s body as he replied to Ajax''s suggestion without any hesitation. Aron had seen how Ajax had grown and how he took care of his subordinates and how he made them powerful. Hence, Aron didn''t have any doubts about how Ajax would lead the cultivators that he secretly nurtured from the eyes of the entire universe. "Yes, Father." Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, after thinking for a moment, he understood one thing¡­.his father trusts him a lot. "Everyone, assemble at the Statue of the Ancestor within three hours." On the other hand, Ren took out a voice enhancement talisman and spoke into it. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, his voice resounded in the entire world and the various locations of the world, they shook a little as cultivators that were fully covered in dust came out of their caves. From Ren''s previous experiences of visiting the Secret World, Ren knew that it would take a little more than two hours for the cultivators to reach the Ancestor''s Statue no matter where they were in the world. Therefore, he gave them three hours to assemble at the Ancestor''s Statue. "Ajax, let''s go and wait at the Master''s Statue." After informing everyone in the world to assemble at their regr ce, Ren said to Ajax. "Okay." Ajax nodded his head as he flew behind Ren who took him to a ce where there was a huge statue of a young man that was made up of some unknown material. "Ajax, it''s the statue of the Master." Ren informed Ajax about the statue as he saw how his father looked in his previous reincarnation. The statue looked so real and it even emitted some cultivation pressure. Of course, it did nothing to Ajax. The eyes of the statue looked intelligent and kind. "Son, my face as Aron lookspletely different from the face of Vaugh because if it remains the same, I might unnecessarily get in trouble." Aron exined after thinking about something, making Ajax nod his head in understanding. ''Since this is a human world, I wonder where there is an Elemental Spirit World.'' Ajax praised the statue for a while before thinking about the Elemental Spriti World. This world is a Greater Human World and Ajax could tell that it has an Elemental Spirit World connected to it. However, before the system could answer his question, he thought, ''Even if there was an Elemental Spirit World, I wouldn''t enter the Elemental Spirit World connected to this world.'' The Greater Human World was already on the verge of destruction and Ajax believed that there won''t be any Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World connected to this world. Therefore, Ajax knew it would be just wasting one of his two chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World. ''Ding, The Elemental Spirit World connected to this world has been self-destructed a while ago and the elemental spirits in the world were teleported to the closest elemental spirit worlds. Soon, the system exined that there was no elemental spirit world. ''What? The elemental spirits will be teleported to the other elemental spirit worlds?'' Ajax always doubted in his head that if¡­by chance, he destroyed a human world, what would happen to the Elemental Spirit World connected to it along with the elemental spirits in it. However, after seeing thattest system notification, Ajax''s doubt regarding that question has been cleared. ''So, I don''t have to worry about collecting all the elemental spirit pearls to move the elemental spirit worlds before destroying the human worlds.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he saw around 100 old cultivators that were covered in dust flying towards them. "Sir Ren, we have been waiting for your arrival for more than 500 years." Chapter 1733 Old Cultivators (1) ? Previously, Ajax was able to extract an Elemental Spirit Pearl from the Elemental Spirit World and with that Elemental Spirit Pearl, he could easily move the Elemental Spirit World without harming the elemental spirits in it. Moreover, he could also connect the Elemental Spirit World to other worlds. If it was one or two worlds, Ajax didn''t mind following that process; however, in the future, he could tell that he would be destroying many human worlds and can''t extract the elemental spirit pearl and connect it with other human worlds under his control. He was still thinking about it and finally, the system informed him that the elemental spirits would be safely teleported to the closest elemental spirits worlds. Hence, he could solely focus on destroying the human worlds without worrying about the elemental spirits. ''If only there were some additional benefits for the Elemental Spirit Pearls like the world cores, I would have put some effort into retrieving them.'' First, it would be a time taken process to enter the Elemental Spirit Pearl much less retrieving the Elemental Spirit Pearl. Furthermore, it didn''t have any benefits from Ajax''s perspective. ''It looks like I don''t have to hold myself back when ites to the Human Worlds.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he saw 100 old cultivators with their bodies covered in dust flew towards him and Ren. "Sir Ren, we have been waiting for your arrival for more than 500 years." As soon as they descended on the ground, all of them bowed to Ren with their faces full of respect. Even though it''s been a while and Ren didn''t keep his promise of not visiting them for a long while, the old cultivators were not angry because they already knew that without their ancestor, Ren already had a lot of troubles to deal with. Moreover, until now, they were only on the receiving end and didn''t even contribute a little towards the World Conquering Sect or their Ancestors. "I am sorry for noting earlier." When Ren looked at the 100 old cultivators, his heart ached because the number of cultivators fell from 10000 to 100. The reason for the death of the cultivators was not the external enemy; instead, it is an eternal enemy for any cultivator and it was the end of Lifespan. All the cultivators that Aron has selected before cing in the Secret World already had more than 1500 or 2000 years of age and it''s been more than 10000 years and the maximum lifespan of a peak emperor realm cultivator was 10000 years without any external resources. However, with the depleted resources in the world and the death of their Ancestors around 8000 years ago, it was Ren who was just a King Realm Cultivator, supplied all the cultivators with the cultivation resources. Of course, they were nowhere near enough and Ren even thought of removing the barrier set by Aron to free them and let them have their own lives; however, with the destruction of the World Conquering Sect, the control of the barrier for the Secret World disappeared. "It''s alright, sir. It''s our fault for being mediocre and unable to awaken the Divine Rules." One of the oldest surviving cultivators replied in a calm tone. ording to the rule set by their ancestor, only by awakening a Divine Rule, they could leave the world and help him; however, despite taking all those resources even though their grade deceased with the death of their Ancestor and the destruction of the World Conquering Sect, they still failed to awaken their Divine Rules. "We have lost so many of our fellow cultivators due to those top five sects in the universe; however, don''t worry, the Ancestor will take revenge for us." Aron and Ren had already discussed revealing Aron''s identity and current situation to the surviving cultivators. Hence, Ren said those words and in the next second, Aron''s soul orb flew out of Ajax''s body. "I have been a bad Ancestor who failed you all." While the old cultivators were still in shock, Aron''s familiar voice resounded in their ear which made their eyes unconsciously filled with tears. Even though Aron changed his body to Vaugh before bing a soul orb, his voice remained the same and all the old cultivators could instantly recognize it was their Ancestor. "Ancestor" In the next second, all the old cultivators fell to their knees and bowed to the floating soul orb with mixed emotions. "It''s been 8000 years since I saw you and I hope you are not angry with me and even if you are angry, I can agree with you." Aron didn''t ask them to stand up because he knew they wouldn''t stand up until he finished his words. Therefore, he hurriedly started saying the speech he had prepared before entering the Secret World. "I know that many of our cultivators have died so far; however, I promise that will make sure you won''t die anytime soon due to your lifespaning to an end." "The one standing beside Ren is my son and he will be leading you from now onwards I hope you treat him just like how you used to treat me." "Of course, I know that it is very hard for everyone to do that right away; however, I am asking you to give him a chance and I am sure that he will definitely surprise you with his actions." Aron was quick with his words and flew to Ajax and pushed him forward. "Hello, everyone." Ajax knew that he would be taking care of them and would be leading them; however, he didn''t expect his father to say that outright to them, making him a little embarrassed. However, he calmed himself as he greeted everyone and said, "Since all of you are much older than me, I will call you Seniors." "As for the cultivation resources, let''s not talk about them because I will be bringing you out of this world now before giving you the resources that are suitable to you." Chapter 1734 [Bonus ] Old Cultivators (2) ? The old cultivators looked at Ajax with doubtful looks on their faces when they heard Aron''s words. They were not against Aron''s orders and they were even willing to acknowledge Ajax as their new leader because as the direct descendant of the Ancestor, Ajax could directly gain that position. Of course, the moment the cultivators feel that Ajax was not worthy, then, they won''t give the respect. In short, it would be in Ajax''s hands to whether he could maintain his status as the leader or not. ''Huh? Moving out of the world?'' Suddenly, the old cultivators were pleasantly surprised to hear Ajax''s words. It''s been nearly 10000 years since they lived in this Secret World and they were a little excited about leaving the world. Nevertheless, a small portion of their hearts were reluctant to leave their world because they have grown fond of the world after living for 10000 years in it. If there were enough resources in the world, the old cultivators might have hesitated in leaving the Secret World; however, they knew that it won''t be long before this world dies. Moreover, if they stay back in the world, without any cultivation resources, they would move much faster than the world. "Yes, Young Master Ajax." Nevertheless, the old cultivators didn''t hesitate much as they directly agreed with Ajax''s words and were ready to leave the Secret World. "Brother Ren, can you bring them to the Five Elemental World? I have something to do in this world." Nodding his head at the old cultivators, Ajax asked Ren. Previously, he used to call him Elder Ren; however, Ren requested Ajax to just call him ''Brother'' and even though Ren was nearly 8000 years old, Ajax decided to call him Brother. ''Swoosh'' While he was asking Ren, a huge portal connecting to the Five Elemental World appeared in front of Ajax. "Yes, Brother Ajax." Ren looked at Aron''s soul orb for a moment and nodded his head. Soon, he brought the 100 old cultivators with him to the Five Elemental World. "Father, I will extract the world core of this world before going back. Do you want to take a look around the world before that?" After sending them away, Ajax asked his father. Since it was his father''s Secret World, Ajax thought that his father could take onest look around the world before once he retrieved the world core, the entire world would be destroyed. "I don''t have much connection with this world. So, it''s alright! Do what you are nning to do." Aron said the truth as he asked Ajax to retrieve the world core. "Okay." Nodding his head, Ajax sat cross-legged and with a single thought, he entered the core realm of the Secret World. ''This is the core realm?'' Until now, Ajax had entered many core realms belonging to the smaller worlds, normal worlds and even the Greater Worlds; however, it was the first time he had seen such a core realm where there was no essence of nature whatsoever. As far as Ajax knew, a core realm would have the purest essence of naturepared to the surface of the world because the entire world runs with this purest essence of nature. However, right now, the core realm didn''t have anything; instead, it felt like Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness was leaving his body as though it was being absorbed by some mysterious force. ''It looks like I should take the world core and leave the core realm as soon as possible.'' Ajax could tell that this core realm was very hungry and when it sensed Ajax''s pure Divine Essence of Nature, it could not hold itself back. Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried too much about it because the rate at which the Divine Essence of Nature left his body was not much and he could retrieve the world core in less than a minute. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for gaining a Greater World Core. Greater World Cores: 6. By the time Ajax lost his two units of Divine Essence of Nature, he had already retrieved the world core and quickly left the core realm. ''I only need four more Greater World Cores and I will have another Divine World Core.'' When he saw the system notification, Ajax could not help but reveal an expectant look on his face. Soon after, Ajax left the Secret World with his father''s soul orb. ''Boom'' A few minutes after Ajax''s departure, the existence of the Secret World will be remained a secret without any outsiders knowing about it because it was destroyed and all that was left in the space were its debris. ¡­. In the Five Elemental World, Ren helped the 100 old cultivators to settle in the Five Elemental World as they got freshened up and wore new clothes before assembling under the Lesser World Tree. "So, all of you are above 10000 years old and extended your lifespan using some life-prolonging resources." Looking at the 100 old cultivators, Ajax asked them. "Yes, Young Master." "You are yet to awaken the Divine Rules and even if you awaken the Divine Rules, it would be almost impossible for you to increase its awakening percentage to 100 percent, right?" Ajax asked them with a calm look. "Yes, Young Master." Even though the old cultivators were embarrassed, they still nodded their heads. "Almost everyone has less than 100 years left to live whereas a few others have 200 years left to live." After thinking for a moment, an old man walked forward and gave a brief exnation of the remaining lifespan of the old cultivators. The lowest lifespan left among these cultivators is 50 years and it was none other than the one who exined to Ajax about the lifespans of all the old cultivators including his own. "Hm." Ajax nodded his head as he remained calm and silently thought in his head about how to nurture these old cultivators who were only left with less than 100 years old. "It''s alright! Your luck is quite good for us to meet at the right time." Chapter 1735 Old Cultivators (3) ? For Ajax, there were many ways and resources he could nurture these old cultivators and help them be powerful and also live for much longer than they were supposed to live. Therefore, Ajax was calm and thought about a suitable method to nurture them. "It''s alright! Your luck is quite good for us to meet at the right time." It didn''t take much time for Ajax to think of a suitable way for these 100 old cultivators and assured them with a confident smile on his face. "Young Master?" All the old cultivators looked at Ajax with surprised looks as they wondered what their young master was nning in his head. "Originally, I thought to let you awaken the Divine Rule; however, your bodies seemed much weaker than I expected." Seeing their expectant looks, Ajax exined, "However, don''t worry, I have nned something better for you." "For the next few days, stop cultivating and enjoy your lives. Go around and meet some youngsters in the world. Share your experiences." Soon, Ajax started saying things that the old cultivators never expected to hear. They were already shocked when they heard that the young master nned to help them awaken the Divine Rule; however, when they heard that their young master was asking them not to cultivate any longer, it made them frown. "Yes, master." However, they still nodded their heads because they knew that even if they awaken the Divine Rule right now, without their remaining lifespan, it would be impossible for them to increase the ascending percentage to 100 percent, much less trigger the Lightning Tribtion. Moreover, when they thought about Ajax''s words, the old cultivator felt Ajax was right about it. Since their life wasing to an end, they thought they should at least enjoy the remaining years of their lives. As for what Ajax was nning in his head for them, the old cultivators were curious; however, they didn''t ask him. "Also, if you want to marry someone and start a family, I will even help you find some suitable Cultivation Companions for you." Suddenly, Ajax''s words created a stir in the hearts of the 100 cultivators. Even though they looked old, they are peak emperor realm cultivators and quite powerful. So, it won''t be a problem to start a family for them. From Aron, Ajax learned that these cultivators swore to never marry or start a family until they sessfully ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm because if they ascended after starting a family, they would always think about their family and could not focus on their cultivation. "Young master, Ajax. We swore to marry and start a family after we ascend to the Heavenly Realm." However, all 100 old cultivators shook their heads and replied in unison. "Okay." Ajax was not surprised at how determined the old cultivators were because he understood some things after meeting Uncle Draven and Dragonling. ording to Uncle Draven, most cultivators won''t bother to start their family unless they ascend to the Heavenly Realm. They would start a family in this realm only when they lose their entire hope of ascending to the Heavenly Realm and most of the cultivators did start their families when they have 1000 or 2000 years left of their lifespan and enjoy their remaining time with their descendants for those years. That''s the reason why Ajax asked them whether they want to start a family and seeing them still standing by their words, Ajax nodded his head and muttered, ''Because of their father''s unforeseen mistake, they have suffered a lot. I should let them start their family in the Heavenly Realm.'' Here, Ajax was not ming his father or Ren and at the same time, he was not ming the old cultivators for not being able to awaken the Divine Rules. It''s just that the circumstances were like that and there was nothing any cultivator would do about it other than epting them and moving forward in life. Anyway, Ajax had thought of a perfect way to nurture them; however, it would take some time. Moreover, Ajax was busy with many things in the next few days. So, he wanted to deal with them before focusing on these cultivators because he expected he would have enough time after he returned from the Floating Ind. ''In two days, there is Twilight''s trial and after that, I will have a one-day break before he needs to enter the Floating Ind. Of course, there is still something that I have to do right away which is to form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits by entering one of the Greater Human Worlds.'' With so many things around the corner, Ajax didn''t want to split his focus andplete one thing after another with ease. ''Even the cultivator with the lowest lifespan had 20 years left in his lifespan. So, waiting for half a month to 20 days won''t be a problem.'' Ajax silently thought in his head, ''Moreover, in these 20 days, whatever I am going to do will also help towards nurturing them.'' Ajax had a full rification on his schedule for the next few days as he asked Raweth and Sparrow to help the old cultivators by sending some of their subordinates to assist them during their stay in the Five Elemental World. "As for me, I should enter the Greater Human World the right way." Ajax knew he had dyed his entry to the Elemental Spirit World for quite some time and decided to enter it. Therefore, after taking care of the things in the Five Elemental World, Ajax left his father and Ren in the world to take care of the old cultivators before returning to the Normal Dwarven World. ''Which Greater human world should I enter?'' Among the traders, Ajax interacted in the trader''s realm, almost all of them were non-humans except for the five elemental human emperors. "It''s time to meet the Elemental Human Emperors and let''s find out whose world''s Elemental Spirit World I should choose." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax contacted the five human elemental emperors. Chapter 1736 Ajax Enters The Traders Realm ? Author''s Birthday Special (1/5) ****** The Five Human Elemental Emperors that Ajax traded with, in the past were not as powerful as Uncle Draven, or Uncle Dakon, but they were considered the powerhouse of the human race. Even though Ajax didn''t have much information on them, Ajax felt that they could beparable to the top human sects. The most important thing that Ajax liked about these Human Emperors is, no matter how hard they try to fool or cheat someone, it was very easy to figure them out. Therefore, Ajax decided to use one of their worlds to enter the Elemental Spirit World to form a contract with the elemental spirits. ''If I don''t like it, I can just wait until Twilight''s Trial is over before finding another Greater Human World to use myst chance to enter the Elemental Spirit World.'' Every human cultivator would only have one chance to enter the Elemental Spirit World whenever they break through one major realm. Currently, Ajax had two chances left and hence, he was not worried much about the elemental spirit world connected to the worlds belonging to the Human Elemental Emperors. ¡­ ''Swoosh'' With a thought, Ajax entered the Trader''s Realm. [Respected Trader, your transaction of one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens has beenpleted. Please pay the remaining 700 trillion trader''s tokens within a month] [In case of dyed payment, the interest rate we charge with be 30 percent per month for a year before it bes 50 percent per month in the second year] [When it reaches the value of 1000 times your current transaction value¡­which is one Quintillion Trader''s Tokens, all the resources connected to the respected trader will be seized and at the same time, the trader will be turned into a ve to forced to repay the remaining bnce slowly] As soon as Ajax entered the Trader''s Realm, he received a series of notices from the Special Notice Service Center. He was only surprised at the fact that the transaction waspleted much faster than he expected and as for the other notices, Ajax already knows how the Special Notice Service Center works. Therefore, he was not surprised at all. [The Celestial Dawn Sect''s Celestial Dawn Realm will be opening in 19 days. Interested traders can buy the entry ticket worth 100 Billion Trader''s Tokens from us] Just as he was about to contact the Five Human Elemental Emperors, Ajax received another notice from the same organization. ''What? The Secret Cultivation Realm is opening?'' Looking at thetest notice, Ajax was shocked at first and then he was pleasantly surprised. ''Isn''t that what I was waiting for?'' Ajax could not help but be excited as he muttered, ''As long as I can enter the Secret Cultivation Realm, not only can I find the remaining treasures required for the reconstruction of the bodies of the Father and Snow but I can also try and find a Divine Grade Fruit.'' Even though Ajax had found some items for the reconstruction of the body, he still needs more items like Essence of Rebirth and Primordial Soul Stone. Moreover, he could find various treasures that he could either use for himself or his elemental spirits or the contracted spirit beasts or his followers or his new followers. ''Also, I just need to buy one ticket and I can bring as many cultivators as possible with the help of my inner world.'' For him, 100 billion trader''s tokens were nothing much. Moreover, he could bring all his followers and contracted spirit beasts along with him to make full use of his 100 billion trader''s tokens. As for taking advantage of the Celestial Dawn Sect, Ajax didn''t bother too much about it because as the saying goes, ''Doing everything in one''s power to be powerful and survive.'' The Celestial Dawn Sect has done countless evil things to reach their current position and even Ajax has done his share of evil things from the perspective of the Demons. Just like how the Celestial Dawn Sect was not feeling guilty for its actions, Ajax was also not feeling any guilt because he was doing just what he needed to do to be more powerful. Also, taking advantage of the Celestial Dawn Sect was one of Ajax''s reasons that he won''t feel any guilt even in the future for bringing all his followers and the contracted spirit beasts. ''Since it is exactly after 19 days, I have enough time toplete my revenge on the Floating Ind.'' With the sudden opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax was ready to modify his schedule; however, he didn''t bother to change it because he was confident inpleting everything before the Celestial Dawn Realm officially opened. ''Anyway, let''s send a message to the Five Human Elemental Emperors beforepleting buying the ticket.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to go to the Special Notice Service Center to collect the items; instead, he decided to buy a ticket to the nearest auction hall. Currently, Ajax still has around 100 trillion trader''s tokens. So, spending 100 billion trader''s tokens was nothing much. "Buy tickets using the Trader''s Tokens." "Buy tickets using the Cultivation Resources." As soon as Ajax reached the high-level auction hall, he saw two banners and two ways. The way in which the traders needed to use the Trader''s Tokens had around 10 cultivators in the line and as for the other line, there were none. ''Let''s save time.'' Even though Ajax knew it was not costly to enter the second way, he decided to save time as he still had a few things to do. "Wee, Sir. What resources are you going to use to buy the entry tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm and how many tickets are you nning to buy?" As soon as Ajax entered the special chamber in the auction hall, he saw an old cultivator who politely invited him and asked. "How many tickets will I get for this?" Ajax didn''t waste any time as he took out a Giant Dark Crystal and ced it on the table. Chapter 1737 Dawn Talismans ? Author''s Birthday Special (2/5) ****** ''A Giant Dark Crystal?'' The old man who was in charge of appraising the items and quoting a price for them was surprised to see a Giant Dark Crystal. Even though the Giant Dark Crystals was a top-level treasure in the universe, the old man had seen many Giant Crystals in his working life as an appraiser. Moreover, since it was rted to the entry of the Celestial Dawn Realm, the old man knew such rare cultivation resources woulde out of their storage ces. However, what surprised the old man was that the young man in front of him seemed like he didn''t belong to any of the top sects or families from what he was wearing. "Are you not going to evaluate it and quote a price for it?" On the other hand, Ajax woke up the old man from his thoughts. Even though Ajax didn''t want to sell the Giant Crystals to anyone other than his trusted acquaintances, there was nothing he could do about it. Moreover, he was still thinking about where he should get the remaining 700 trillion trader''s tokens that he was supposed to pay to the Special Notice Service Center. ording to his n, Ajax thought that he could just sell some Giant Crystals to his trusted acquaintances like the five elemental human emperors; however, with the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, the value of the cultivation resources had greatly fallen. Also, Ajax knew that this effect won''tst forever; however, it would be like this until the Celestial Dawn Realm opens. "The current price of a Giant Dark Crystal is two trillion trader tokens." While Ajax was thinking about how he should secure the remaining funds to pay for the Special Notice Service Center, he saw that the old man appraised the crystal for a minute before quoting a price. "What? Only Two Trillion Trader Tokens?" Hearing the old man''s words, Ajax was thoroughly shocked as he looked at the old man, waiting for an exnation. Even though Ajax knew that the value of the Cultivation Resources had fallen quite a bit and the value of the Trader''s Tokens rose by a lot, he didn''t expect the value of a Giant Dark Crystal would fall from 20 trillion trader tokens to 2 trillion trader tokens. "Haha¡­this is how the current situation is. There is nothing I can do about it." The old man knew that only those who didn''t have the trader''s tokens would be willing to take the cultivation resources. Moreover, even normal traders were trying to take advantage of the situation right now. However, Ajax could not go to them to sell the Giant Dark Crystal because the rogue cultivators who have umted trillions of Trader''s Tokens were very rare and by now, even they exchanged all the cultivation resources from the traders for the trader''s tokens at a huge discount. Moreover, they are not going to give the trader''s tokens to the traders who were selling their cultivation resources to them; instead, they would be giving the tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm. Therefore, the Celestial Dawn Realm was going all out by reducing the price of the cultivation resources as they have quite a huge number of tickets for the Celestial Dawn Realm. As for the other sects and the powerful families, all the trader''s tokens they have were already traded to buy the tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm. "Okay then. I will just exchange for 20 tickets then." Ajax knew that in the current situation, he won''t get a good price even if go out. Moreover, he needed to spend more time finding a rich buyer who would be willing to buy the Giant Dark Crystal. Currently, the thing that Ajaxcks right now is the right. ''Anyway, since I have so many Giant Crystals. It''s alright!'' Therefore, Ajax didn''t think too much about it as he directly asked for the 20 tickets. Since each ticket costs 100 billion trader''s tokens and with two trillion trader''s tokens, Ajax could get 20 tickets. "Sure." The old man revealed a slight smile as took out 20 Talismans with mysterious runes and symbols on them. "No matter where you are, once the Celestial Dawn Realm opens up, the holder of these Dawn Talismans will directly enter the Celestial Dawn Realm." The old man exined how the Talismans work as he ended his words with a warning, "You can sell them or give these Dawn Talismans to the fellow humans; however, you can''t sell them or give them to the beasts from the Dragon Region unless you want all these Talismans to turn into nothingness." "The reason was very simple, the price of the tickets for the dragons and beasts from the Dragon Region is 10 times higher and it was around one trillion trader''s tokens." The old man even exined why he should not sell or give the Dawn Talismans to the Dragons from the Dragon Region. "Is that so?" Ajax raised his brows as he thought of something because shaking his head. ''Ding, Item Name: Dawn Talismans. Grade: Gradeless but it required at least a cultivator to be King Grade Talisman Master to create it. Use: Helps the holder of the talisman directly enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. Information: There is a self-destruction rune and a detection rune along with the teleportation rune. The moment these talismanse into contact with someone from the Dragon Region, they would turn into nothingness. Soon, the information about the Talismans appeared in front of Ajax as he read everything about it. ''If only I was good at making Talismans, I could have removed that self-destruction rune.'' When ites to the talisman making, Ajax had no clue about it and he was not even sure whether it was possible to remove the runes from the talisman once they were inscribed on the talisman paper. Nevertheless, it was just a thought that came to everyone''s mind when they needed to excel in some profession to turn the current situation in their favour. Chapter 1738 Not An Island? ? Author''s Birthday Special (3/5) ****** When he learned that the price of the tickets for the cultivators from the Dragon Region was 10 times higher than the cultivators from the Human Region, Ajax thought of selling these Dawn Talismans to them for just 7 or 8 times the price he bought them for. However, for that, he needed a skilled talisman master with the ability to remove the runes from the Dawn Talismans. Nevertheless, Ajax had only thought about it for a moment before stopping thinking about it after concluding, ''How can those detection runes and the self-destruction runes be so easy to remove? If it was possible, the other top sects would have done it already, right?'' Soon, Ajax took 20 Dawn Talismans before leaving the auction hall and waited in the special trader''s lounge for the five human elemental emperors. While waiting, Ajax was still thinking of how to arrange the funds he needed to pay for the Special Notice Service Center. ''Even though it was not a big issue for me to get them, in the current situation, I would be taking huge losses if I sell the Giant Crystals.'' Currently, Ajax had umted millions of Giant Crystals if not a billion and with them, he could easily arrange for the fund. However, right now, the value of these Giant Crystals has been reduced by 90 percent. Moreover, even if he could exchange, all he could get was the Dawn Talismans because Ajax doubted that he could find someone with such a huge amount of Trader''s Tokens other than the Celestial Dawn Sect. So, Ajax felt that he should not exchange the Giant Crystals for now and wait until the Celestial Dawn Realm opens. ''Since I have a 30-day interest-free window, I will just sell the cultivation resources after I return from the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' The Celestial Dawn Realm would be opening in 20 days and ording to the information he had on the Celestial Dawn Realm, it stays open for 3-5 days. Hence, Ajax would still have another 5 days to pay the remaining trader''s tokens to themission he ordered. ''That''s it. I should do that. If I have to secure the funds now, I have to sell so many Giant Crystals and it would definitely raise a huge interest in me from those top sects.'' Therefore, Ajax decided to pay the remaining money after returning from the Celestial Dawn Realm and take the crystals from the Special Notice Service Center. The items from the Special Notice Service Center could only be taken after fully paying for themission. Until then, those items will be with them. ¡­. Time continued to pass and after waiting for 10 minutes, the human elemental emperors appeared in the special trader''s lounge once after the other. "It''s been a while, [Harbinger of the World Destroyer]." They were a little happy to see Ajax because they knew that Ajax was their source of world cores. Since it was Ajax who contacted them, they could tell that he needs them for something and thus, it was a good opportunity for them to get close to Ajax. The closer they be to Ajax, the more chances they would have to get their hands on the world cores. So, they rushed to meet Ajax. "It''s like this¡­.I am nning to enter an Elemental Spirit World to form a contract with an official elemental spirit. So, I was wondering whose world''s Elemental Spirit World is best to enter." After exchanging simple greetings, Ajax directly came to the point. "Before answering your question, can you tell us which element you have an affinity with?" No one answered Ajax''s question; instead, the Fire Emperor asked Ajax a question. "If you have an affinity with water elements, I suggest you enter the Elemental Spirit World through my world and fire for him, earth for him¡­." Before Ajax could even reply, the Water Emperor exined more about it, making Ajax understand it. "What about Universal Affinity?" After hesitating for a moment, Ajax said about his Universal Affinity, surprising the five human elemental emperors. Even though the Universal Affinity with the elements could be considered rare, there were many humans with such affinity. Almost all the core disciples of the sects have Universal Affinities and even the Sect Leaders of these top sects have affinity with five elements. That''s how they were able to stand at the top of the human race. The reason why the five human emperors were not shocked by Ajax having a universal affinity was because Ajax was already a mysterious person who could have his hands on the world cores. So, it was not much of a shock to them. "Then, I suggest you enter the Elemental Spirit World through the Floating Ind and you have found many unique elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind." "What? I can enter an Elemental Spirit World through the Floating Ind?" Ajax was shocked to hear that because he was not expecting such a thing from the Floating Ind before asking, "Does that mean, the Floating Ind is not an ind by a World?" "Yes. Moreover, it was not a normal world but a special Greater World; however, the only problem is that the time to stay in the Elemental Spirit World will be much reduced by half." Nodding their heads, the human elemental emperors exined about the only disadvantage of entering the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind. "It''s alright! Even if it was half, I will still have 12 hours to stay in the Elemental Spirit World, right? I don''t mind." Ajax knew there won''t be a perfect thing for him to enjoy. When there was a huge advantage, there would be a huge disadvantage to it. The advantage in that Elemental Spirit World was the unique and rare elemental spirits and the disadvantage was the time that he could stay in the world. ''It''s alright! I might have less number of elemental spirits but I can have more unique elemental spirits.'' Chapter 1739 Masters Reward ? Author''s Birthday Special (4/5) ****** Whether it was an official contract or an unofficial contract with the elemental spirits, Ajax could instantly form the contract with them. Therefore, Ajax was not worried too much about the reduction of time. Moreover, the reason why Ajax wanted to enter an Elemental Spirit World belonging to a Greater Human World was to find some unique and rare elemental spirits. Therefore, the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind was a perfect world for him to use hisst two remaining chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World. ''It looks like I can cancel my n of forming the contracts with the elemental spirits for now from my schedule.'' Since he would be entering the Floating Ind in 10 days, Ajax decided not to hurry things and kept his n of forming contracts with the elemental spirits on hold until then. "Thank you for the help." After thinking for a moment, gave them a small world core each, making them extremely satisfied with Ajax. For Ajax, the small world cores were no longer as valuable as they used to be; however, that doesn''t mean he could be prodigal. Nevertheless, Ajax was thankful for them and was hoping to be on good terms as he would be doing more transactions with them in the future. After that, Ajax had some conversations with them before leaving the special trader''s lounge. ''Since I still have two days left before Twilight''s trial begins, let''s pay a visit to the master.'' Earlier, hismunication talisman given by his master, Mostror, has shone for a moment which means that he had finallye out of seclusion. The old cultivators like Mostror spent some time in seclusion; however, they won''t keep these seclusion sessions for very long because they were nearing the end of their life and wanted to enjoy life. Of course, at the same time, they don''t want topletely give up on their cultivation. So, they bnce their cultivation sessions and regr life. It''s been around 15 days since Mostror entered his seclusion and now he is out. Therefore, Ajax wanted to visit and tell him some things and at the same time, he wanted to ask Mostror about some things. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' With a simple thought, the token that Ajax received from Mostror shone and the next day, he disappeared from the Normal Dwarven World and appeared in Bloodline Training Grounds. "Master, how was your seclusion?" Ajax quickly went to his master and asked the old man with a curious look. "Thanks to you, I was able to have a new perspective on the Bloodlines and sessfully increased the awakening percentage of my Divine Bloodline Rule by 5 percent." Compared to before, Mostror was extremely happy aftering out of his seclusion because it was the first time that his Divine Bloodline Rule increased by 5 percent in a single seclusion of 15 days. "It''s great." Ajax was happy for his master and quickly asked, "Since I helped master regarding his Divine Rule, I wonder what kind of reward I will get." "Haha¡­.what do you want?" Mostrorughed out loud as he asked Ajax about it. Ajax was actually joking when he was asking for a reward; however, when he saw his master y along with him, he decided to take the joke to the next level. "How about master give me one quadrillion trader''s tokens?" "...." Mostror was speechless for a moment before scolding Ajax, "One Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens? Brat, are you joking? Do you think your master is that rich?" "Haha¡­I was just joking, master." Ajax chuckled in reply as he already expected such a reaction from his master. Previously, Ajax learned that the Jade Dragon Emperor had umted around 500 trillion trader tokens in his entire life and ording to what Ajax knew, his master was also around the same age as Uncle Draven. Moreover, his master used to be in a sect whereas Draven was a member of the Dragonheart Society and an Emperor of a Greater Dragon World. So, Ajax was not expecting his master to have more than 100 trillion trader''s tokens, not to mention one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. "However, as a reward, I can give you 150 trillion trader''s tokens." From Mostror''s experience, he learned that people joke about the things that they need. So, he could tell that Ajax might need Trader''s Tokens. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he decided to give 150 trillion trader''s tokens as a reward to Ajax in helping him with his Divine Rule. "What?" Ajax was surprised when he heard his master''s words and before he could thank him, he heard Mostror say, "That little brat Zanath was umting trader''s tokens like crazy for thest 1000 years." I think you can borrow some from him. I don''t know exactly how many trader''s tokens he had umted but thest time I asked him was a decade back and he said he had 500 trillion trader''s tokens." "Really? Brother Zanath was umting the trader''s tokens for thest 1000 years?" Ajax was pleasantly surprised and felt that he must have found a way to secure the funds to pay the Special Notice Service Center. ''No wonder he asked me whether I want some trader''s tokens when I enter the High-level Trader''s Realm.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of his encounter with Zanath in the High-level Trader''s Realm and shook his head. "But, I don''t know where he lives, master." Zanath was aplete mystery to Ajax because hees and goes out of nowhere and had his demon clones over many worlds including Purple Stone World and that''s how Ajax first met Zanath. "I have already asked him toe. He will be here at any moment now." Mostror revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked, "By the way, it looks like you tried tomunicate with me multiple times when I was in seclusion. Is there something important?" "Yes¡­an extremely important matter." With a mysterious smile on his face, Ajax built the suspense for a moment before saying, "It is rted to your Brother Aron. What if I tell you that he is still alive?" Chapter 1740 Reunion ? Author''s Birthday Special (5/5) ****** Aron and Mostror were sworn brothers that Ajax learned from Mostror long back. After Ajax learned that his father''s previous incarnation was Aron, he asked about Mostror and said about their bond. Moreover, he also learned that his father wanted to meet him but at the same time, he was hesitating and wanted to surprise Mostror after reconstructing his body. However, Ajax felt that his master was always thinking about Aron and decided to reveal the suspense and made his master happy. ''I am sorry for spoiling your surprise for your father.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he said, "It is rted to your Brother Aron. What if I tell you that he is still alive?" "I knew it. He can''t die like that." However, what Ajax was expecting from Mostror didn''t happen; instead, Mostror was excited and said that he never believed that his brother would be dead. "Master, you already knew about it?" Ajax thought to give a shock to his master; however, it was Mostror that shocked Ajax with his words as he asked Mostror about it. "Of course, my intuition was never wrong." Mostror exined, "Aron was very careful and always had a backup n for any kind of situation. So, I am very sure that he must have escaped from the encirclement of the sect leaders of the top sects." "Where is he?" After telling his thoughts, Mostror asked Ajax where Aron is currently. "Currently, he is in one of the worlds I own as he met his one and only disciple Ren." Soon, Ajax gave brief information about Aron and Ren. As for the other details, he decided to let his father exin to his Master. "Let''s go. Even after he returned, how dare he not want to meet me." Mostror was both excited and angry to hear Ajax''s words. He was excited because his sworn brother was still alive and angry. After all, Aron didn''t meet him yet. "Master is alive?" Just as they were about to enter the Five Elemental World to meet Aron, a silhouette walked into the room and asked them with a shocked but excited look. The silhouette belongs to none other than Zanath, the servant of Aron. "Zanath, you came at the right time." Mostror nodded his head as he asked Ajax, "Ajax, let''s go." Mostror could not wait to meet his old friend and a brother whom he thought he lost. "Yes, Master," Ajax had already expected such a reaction. So, he didn''t waste any time as he hurriedly brought them into the Five Elemental World. "Ajax, you¡­." Without wasting any time, Ajax brought them to the ce where Ren and Aron were staying and sensing Ajax''s presence, Aron''s soul orb flew out of the cave. The moment he saw two familiar faces other than Ajax, Aron was shocked. Even though he knew that Ajax had be the disciple of his sworn brother, Aron didn''t expect Ajax to bring Mostror and Zanath to the Five Elemental World all of a sudden. "Aron, I am sorry¡­it was also because of me. If only I didn''t introduce you to the sects, you would have long ascended to the Heavenly Realm." "Master, this servant failed to protect Young Master Ren." Both Mostror and Zanath fell to their knees because they both were guilty about some things. One med himself for Aron''s death whereas the other one was guilty about not being able to protect Ren who one day disappeared without a trace. Of course, Zanath learned that Ren was in the Five Elemental World all along but still, he acknowledged that he failed Aron. "The bygones are bygones. Let''s not talk about them." Aron''s soul flew towards them as he exined, "We have gone through many things for thest 8000 years and let''s work together from now on for a better future. With my Son leading us, we don''t have to worry about ascending to the Heavenly Realms." "Son?" Mostror and Zanath both nodded their heads at Aron''s words until they heard something that made him extremely shocked. "Didn''t he say that he was my son?" Aron was puzzled as he started exining about his second incarnation as Vaugh and bing Ajax''s father. As for his wife, Aron didn''t say anything for now and was hoping for a reunion one day. "It looks like we are all connected by the heavens." After listening to Aron''s entire story, Mostror and Zanath looked at Ajax with an unbelievable look. Of course, Aron skipped about things like treasures like the System, and his wife''s soul connected to other treasures. "With Ajax, our chances to ascend to the Heavenly Realm might really increase¡­especially for Zanath. He was not far from triggering the Lightning Tribtion for the ascendance." As for Aron''s words regarding how Ajax would lead them to the Heavenly Realms, Mostror didn''t have any slight doubts about them. Mostror knew how scary Ajax''s talent and potential were and that''s the reason why he took him as a disciple in the first ce and not because he was the son of his fallen brother. Of course, when Mostor saw Ajax, he really thought of his fallen brother; however, the real reason why he took him as his disciple was because of Ajax''s talent. He was not even 20 years old and he was already an Emperor Realm Cultivator. So, without a doubt, if everything goes right, Ajax could ascend to the Heavenly Realm within the next 100 or 200 years without any problem. "Ajax, didn''t you have something to talk about with Zanath? You two go and discuss. We, the old brothers, have a lot to talk about." Soon, Mostror sent Ajax and Zanath away as he wanted to talk with Aron regarding many things that happened in the past. As for Ren, Mostror didn''t mind as he already knew most of them and could add his perspective to the things he was about to talk about with Aron. "Young Master Ajax, what is it that you want?" Zanath was always polite to Ajax after he became Mostror''s disciple and now that politeness had turned into respect after learning about Ajax''s identity. Chapter 1741 Zaglanaths Kindness ? "Brother Zanath, I need some trader''s tokens and currently, I can''t exchange the resources as their value would be very less. So, I am hoping to borrow some trader''s tokens from you." Ajax was a little embarrassed to ask; however, he still asked Zanath about it. "It''s a small matter." Zanath was kind to almost everyone and after learning that Ajax was the son of his master, he would help him to the best of his ability. "I have one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, young master. How many Trader''s Tokens do you need?" Even though Zanath asked Ajax about it, he didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he directly sent 990 trillion trader''s tokens to Ajax. "Young master, I have sent you 990 trillion trader tokens to you and there is no need to give it back and you can spend it as you deem fit." Ajax was shocked by Zanath''s quick actions and words as he looked at Zanath in apletely new light. Who would dare to give away all his trader''s tokens like that? If Ajax didn''t know about Zanath, he would have thought that Zanath was crazy. From Mostror, Ajax learned that Zanath was saved by Aron and helped him be strong to the point where he could freely roam the worlds and recruit some geniuses in those worlds. Of course, he could not enter the Greater Worlds as they all have powerful barriers and restrictions. So, he set up trial zones in the normal worlds and smaller worlds to find some geniuses and nurture them. Ajax had already known how Zanath had nurtured the weakest races like half-orcs, half-kobolds, and half-goblins when demons were invading the world and could tell that he was umting the trader''s tokens for them. "Brother Zanath, please take these things." Since the other party was very generous, Ajax also didn''t want to hold back as he took out 100 Giant Dark Crystals and 100 Giant Fire Crystals before giving them to Zanath. ''...'' Zanath was shocked as he looked at them with an unbelievable look on his face. "Don''t worry. I still have many crystals left." While Zanath was shocked to see so many Giant Crystals, Ajax informed Zanath to take them. Even though the value of the Giant Crystals was at an all-time low due to the Celestial Dawn Realm, the 200 Giant Crystals that Ajax gave to Zanath could be valued around 4 quadrillion trader tokens in the past and even now, they could be valued around at 400 trillion trader tokens. "You still have many Giant Crystals left?" Zanath came out of his shock before he went back into shock once again when he heard Ajax''s words. "Since you have so many cultivators to nurture, I can''t take the trader''s tokens for free." Ajax revealed with a slight smile on his face, "Also if you ever need weapons for those geniuses, you can enter my Normal Dwarven World and pick whatever weapons you need for free." "If you need any special pills, just let me know and I will refine them for you because I am an Alchemy Emperor." Initially, Ajax only wanted to exchange some resources with Zanath; however, after seeing how Zanath transferred almost all the trader''s tokens to him, Ajax felt Zanath was a friend that everyone should have. Hence, he decided to try his best in helping Zanath achieve his goal of nurturing the weakest half-humans like him into powerful existences. "What? The young master has already be an Alchemy Emperor?" Back when he first met Ajax, Zanath knew Ajax was not even a rank 1 alchemist and now, he had already be a rank 8 alchemist, also known as Alchemy Emperor. So, of course, he was shocked. And, as for the weapons, he had already known about Ajax having a Normal Dwarven World and even visited it from time to time. So, he was not surprised regarding that; however, bing an Alchemy Emperor within a decade did not happen in the universe ording to Zanath''s knowledge. "I will seek your help, young monster Ajax." Zanath was not lying about it and he didn''t feel embarrassed to seek help from Ajax. His main motive was to reach his goal and at the same time, he should help his master and his son to the best of his abilities to help them achieve their goal. Along the process, he didn''t mind using some of their cultivation resources to be stronger because the stronger he was, the more useful he would be for them. "What Divine Rule did you awaken and at what percentage it is?" Ajax was satisfied with Zanath''s attitude because he was not being modest; instead, he was being honest with him. At the same time, he asked Zanath about his Divine Rules. "Young Master, I have awakened a total of three Divine Rules. They are Divine Demon Rule, Divine Clone Rule, and Divine Space Rule. The first rule has reached 50 percent whereas the remaining two rules are at 10 percent." Generally, the Divine Rules were meant to be a secret¡­especially the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. However, Zanath didn''t mind sharing it with Ajax. "You have awakened some rare Divine Rules." Ajax was surprised by the Divine Rules that Zanath had awakened; however, suddenly he thought of something and asked, "If you are that powerful, then why didn''t you use your full power when the Demons invaded the Purple Stone World." "Wait¡­wait¡­that was a dumb question. I already know the answer and forget that I even asked you that question." Before Zanath could answer, Ajax asked Zanath to forget that he had asked such a question. Back then, even though Zanath took his own time to kill the opponents he fought, he didn''t have much of a disadvantage. Moreover, he fought his opponents without using the Divine Rules as though he was figuring out something. ''Most probably, he was using those fights to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Demon Rule.'' This was what Ajax thought and he even ced himself in Zanath''s shoes in that situation, ''Even I would have done the same thing in the situation.'' Chapter 1742 [Bonus ] Wrong Transaction ? Back then, the situation was in control the moment Zanath appeared along with subordinates. Therefore, Zanath didn''t use his full power during the invasion and Ajax would also do the same as Divine Rules were not meant to be used casually. ''Divine Demon Rule is amon rule for the Demons; however, the other two Divine Rules are quite rare and unique¡­especially the Divine Clone Rule. No wonder he was able to create so many clones and sent them to many worlds.'' Ajax knew that Zanath had established many trial zones in various worlds and each trial zone was maintained by one of Zanath''s clones. "By the way, I have 19 extra Dawn Talismans with me. Do you want them?" Suddenly, Ajax remembered the extra Dawn Talismans with him as he asked Zanath about it. Since Zanath had some subordinates with the cultivation of a low-level Emperor Realm, they have met one of the requirements of entering the Celestial Dawn Realm and as for the age, Ajax was not sure about it. Nevertheless, he asked whether Zanath needed the tickets. "Really? I need exactly 100 Dawn Talismans and I was nning to buy them with the 10 trillion trader''s tokens I kept with me." Compared to the previous shocks and surprises, it was not a surprise for Zanath as he took the 19 Dawn Talismans before paying 2 trillion trader''s tokens. With the remaining money in his ount, Zanath decided to buy the remaining 81 tickets. Even though Ajax thought Zanath could save that money if Ajax sent Zanath''s subordinates into the Inner World, Ajax didn''t want to reveal the Inner World. ''I don''t mind sharing such a secret with Zanath; however, I can''t tell how those 100 subordinates were nurtured by Zanath.'' Of course, Ajax could tell that they would be loyal to Zanath, he was notfortable sharing all his secrets with them. Therefore, Ajax didn''t say anything about the Inner World because it''s alright to spend 8 trillion trader''s tokenspared to revealing his secret. "Brother Zanath, let''s meet again before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm." Even though Zanath can''t enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, he would be sending his subordinates and Ajax wanted to take a look at them so that he could help them in the Celestial Dawn Realm if it was necessary. The Celestial Dawn Realm was not only a ce that was filled with treasures and opportunities, but it was also filled with countless dangers. What''s more, the fellow cultivators who would be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm with them won''t hesitate to kill them to take their resources. Hence, Ajax wanted to check on them before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. "Sure." Zanath could guess what Ajax was thinking and nodded his head in understanding before leaving the Five Elemental World once he made sure that Ajax permitted his clones to enter the Five Elemental World whenever they wanted. "As for me, since I have enough trader''s tokens to pay for mymission and with that, I can ce a newmission." The Special Notice Service Center was very strict as it never allows the client to ce twomissions at the same time. ''One Client, One Commission at a Time'' This is their motto and Ajax could onlyplete his currentmission before cing a new one. ''Since the cultivation resources are at its all-time low, I should go all out and ce a newmission that is much bigger than my currentmission.'' When he thought about it, Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face. There was a benefit for the existing and retaining clients for using the services of the Special Notice Service Center and it was that they could increase theirmission value by 1000 times for their nextmission. Since Ajax had ced an order of one quadrillion trader''s tokens, he could ce his next order as high as one Quintillion trader''s tokens. Currently, the cultivation resources are very cheap and with a Quintillion trader''s tokens, Ajax could amass the cultivation resources that were worth around 100 quintillion trader''s tokens just one Quintillion trader''s tokens. ''Just thinking about this is making me excited.'' Ajax could not help but be excited when he thought of his n as he hurriedly left the Five Elemental World and entered the Normal Dwarven World before entering the Trader''s Realm. ¡­. In the Trader''s Realm, . . . . . The moment he entered the Trader''s Realm, Ajax received a series of notifications from the spirit of the Trader''s Realm informing him about the actions that happened in his trader''s ount. Ajax was not surprised by the first two notifications because he already knew about them; however, he once again received trader''s tokens from someone that surprised Ajax. ''What is his problem? Why does he keep mistaking my trader''s ount with his granddaughter''s ount?'' Previously, he received around 100 million trader''s tokens and now, he received 500 trillion trader''s tokens and the first thing Ajax wanted to do was to return the trader''s tokens. However, as he continued to read the notifications from the trader''s realm''s spirit, Ajax frowned because the so-called Universal Summoner was scolding Ajax. ''Sigh¡­even though he seems impatient and out of line, let''s just return him his money.'' The 500 trillion trader''s tokens were not a small amount and Ajax could understand the pain of the Universal Summoner. Moreover, it was not the first time but the second time. ''Let''s warn him this time and if he still carelessly sends me money, I will not return it.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax tried to send him the money, only to get a notification from the trader''s realm''s spirit. *** Chapter 1743 Mysterious Assassinations ? ''Huh? What? No longer exists?'' Ajax raised his brows when he saw the Trader''s Realm''s Spirit show those words. ''Wasn''t it scolding me until a few minutes back?'' The trader with the username [Universal Summoner] was still active until a few minutes and was scolding Ajax for not sending back his trader''s tokens. <1) He might have ascended to the Heavenly Realm> <2) He might have deleted his trader''s ount> <3) He might have died which automatically severs his connection with the Trader''s Realm and the trader''s tokens in his ount will be given to his direct rtive or a nominee he appointed> As a high-level trader, the spirit of the Trader''s Realm treated Ajax with respect and even exined the reasons why he was unable to send the trader''s tokens to the trader [Universal Summoner]. ''I can directly eliminate the first two reasons.'' If someone ascends to the Heavenly Realm, it won''t be that quick and even if that happened, it would have been the talk of the entire universe because the phenomena of ascending to the Heavenly Realm would be sensed by all the Emperor Realm Cultivators no matter which corner they were in. As for the second reason, no one in their right mind would do such a thing. Once the trader''s ount is deleted, it is almost impossible to create a second one and the spirit of the Trader''s Realm won''t allow them to re-create a new trader''s ount for them. Hence, Ajax could only think that the trader [Universal Summoner] was killed within a few minutes after scolding Ajax. ''Don''t tell me someone killed me because he was scolding me.'' Ajax shook his head as he knew it was impossible and after thinking for a moment, he decided to stop thinking about it. ''Since he is no more, I will not waste the 500 trillion trader''s tokens he sent me.'' Even though Ajax was willing to return the trader''s tokens, he was not a magnanimous person to search for his granddaughter to return the money. Moreover, he already had enough on his te and didn''t want to create more things that would only waste his time. ''In the future, if I find his granddaughter by chance, I will return her the 500 trillion trader''s tokens.'' Ajax convinced both the righteous soul and the wicked soul before going to the Special Notice Service Center. As for whether he would be meeting the granddaughter of the Universal Summoner and even if he met, Ajax didn''t think he would know that she was the granddaughter of the Universal Summoner. Anyway, Ajax didn''t care much about it as he focused on what he came to the Trader''s Realm. ¡­ At the same time, in various ces of the Universe, many masked silhouettes moved in the darkness as they killed the old cultivators in the universe. Even in the Bloodline Training Grounds, a few silhouettes appeared and were disappointed to find that the target was not present in the ce he was supposed to be. ''There is no need to worry about it. Even though he had made a big name in the past, he was kicked out of the sect and left with not many assets other than this useless Bloodline Training Grounds.'' ''How cared about that old fool? The reason I came here was for that fallen genius''s servant Zag or Zenath¡­whatever his name was. ording to the information I have gathered, he must have umted around one quadrillion trader''s tokens during thest few centuries.'' ''I nned to use this old fool who was one step in the grave to find out more about that b*stard.'' One of the silhouettes said in a deep voice as he muttered, ''Moreover, I heard that the Fallen Genius has an official disciple and he must be the nominee for that fallen genius.'' ''Don''t you know how rich that b*stard Aron was? We can increase our rank if he could get the inheritance he left for his disciple.'' For many, Zanath was a cultivator full of mystery, whereas Aron''s official disciple, they were unable to figure out where he was currently because they were unable to find his current location. Hence, Mostror was the key for them to find the location of Zanath and Ren. They waited for a few minutes and searched the entire ce while killing all the bloodline beasts on the training grounds. ''Let''s go. We still have a dozen targets left to finish.'' The silhouettes didn''t linger much time in Mostors'' house as they quietly left the Bloodline Training Grounds. As for how they came and went by, except for them, no one had the slightest clue about it. ¡­. In the Special Notice Service Center, Ajax didn''t have any clue that he had unknowingly saved his master''s life by bringing him to the Five Elemental World. Currently, he entered the Special Notice Service Center with an excited smile on his face because he was going to make full use of the current situation to gain as many cultivation resources as possible. "Wee, Sir World Destroyer." Even though it was not the official trader''s username for Ajax, the female attendant had already received permission from Ajax. Seeing him, she respectfully invited him into the store and asked, "Sir, are you here to pay for themission?" If it was before, the female attendant would have not asked such a question because as a cultivator, one quadrillion trader''s tokens were not something they could amount in their lifetime. However, after seeing how Ajax was confident while cing the order, she knew that Ajax had the funds; otherwise, even after knowing about their organization, why would he dare tomission them for the resources? "Yes and at the same time, I am interested in cing the nextmission with you and ording to your rules, I am eligible to ce an order for one Quintilion Trader''s Tokens, right?" Ajax asked her with a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1744 Third Commission: Completed ? As per the terms and conditions, Ajax could increase his next order by 1000 times and hisst order was around one Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens which gives him a chance to ce an order of One Quintillion Trader''s Tokens. Even though it was a huge amount and Ajax didn''t have much money with him, Ajax was not worried much about it. The World Cores and the Giant Crystals were the two cultivation resources that the Emperor Realm Cultivators¡­especially, the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators would go crazy for them because these two types of Cultivation Resources help them in increasing the awakening percentage of their Divine Rule. Therefore, there would be a huge demand for it the moment the Celestial Dawn Realm opens up. ''All I have to do is sell 50000 Giant Dark Crystals to get one Quintillion Trader''s Tokens.'' As for where he could get such a huge amount of money, Ajax was not worried much as he could sell the Giant Dark Crystals to the top five sects¡­especially the Celestial Dawn Sect. Currently, Ajax had nearly 100 million Giant Dark and Fire Crystalsbined and along with them, he had other crystals. Also, bypleting his currentmission with the Special Notice Service Center, Ajax could get another huge inflow of low-level crystals and when he merged them, he didn''t have to worry about the Giant Crystals for a long while and he could even help his new followers. Moreover, Ajax was also curious about this Special Notice Service Center on how they were able to have such a huge inflow of the Trader''s Tokens. ''Even though I might be the center of attraction by selling 50000 Giant Crystals to the top 5 sects and other forces in the Dragon Region, it will be like attracting trouble; however, it''s alright! Sooner orter, I have to go against them and by the time I sell the Giant Crystals, who knows how powerful I will be.'' The 50,000 Giant Crystals that Ajax wanted to sell to the top powerhouses of the Universe might not be a huge amount in his eyes; however, in the eyes of those powerhouses, it was a lot. Hence, it would be very easy for Ajax to predict his future of what would happen once he finishes the deal of 50000 crystals. However, Ajax was not worried about it all and the reason for that was Ajax was confident¡­confident that he would be very powerful by then to the point where they wouldn''t dare to mess with him casually. By the time they prepare their underhanded ns, Ajax could be even more powerful along with his followers. ''The current situation is an opportunity for me to be as powerful as possible.'' The reason why Ajax was confident in bing more powerful was because of the following events that were on Ajax''s schedule. First, there was Twilight''s event and with his current strength, Ajax was confident that Twilight would be the champion of the trial and get all the generous rewards. Second, he would be entering the Floating Ind and will be experiencing seven years of cultivation on the Ind while forming the contracts with the Elemental Spirits and turning them into Emperor Realm Spirits along with his contracted spirit beasts. From these two events alone, Ajax was confident in sessfully converting his body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation and would upgrade all his Divine Rules to the awakening percentage of 30. As for thest event, Ajax would be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm and with his upgraded strength from the above two events, Ajax could be invincible inside the Celestial Dawn Realm because all the cultivators who would be entering the Realm were below the age of 500 years. ''With the help of the Celestial Dawn Realm, if I can find a Divine Grade Fruit, I can sessfully convert my spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation before bing even more powerful.'' Ajax had nned everything and of course, Ajax even prepared a backup n, ''Also, in the worst case scenario, if any one of these things didn''t go as I nned, I will just escape into the Dark Region with my Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits.'' As for his worlds and the residents in the world, Ajax was not worried about them because no one could rte him to those worlds except for the Normal Dwarven World as it was the only one world that was connected to the trader''s realm. Since Ajax had never done with his real identity in the universe, no one even knows about his existence, much less his name. ''As for the Normal Dwarven World, I have already made some ns for it.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax informed the female attendant about his next deal and the worth of his next deal. "Of course, you are eligible, Sir." The female attendant was shocked for a moment; however, she was happy about it and nodded her head. "Good. Let''splete the current deal first." After saying that, Ajax didn''t waste the female attendant''s reply and transferred 800 trillion trader''s tokens. 700 trillion trader''s tokens were the remaining payment whereas the 100 trillion trader''s tokens weremission free for the Special Notice Service Center. Even though the fee seemed huge, Ajax didn''t mind it because the Special Notice Service Center was saving him a lot of time and effort in collecting his cultivation resources. "Yes, Sir." Seeing that payment notification, the female attendant smiled beautifully as she went inside and returned with a huge spatial bag. "Sir, in here, the crystals worth one quadrillion trader''s token are carefully ced. You can check them with your Spirit Consciousness. As for the numbers, they have all written here along with their prices." While giving the Spatial Bag, the female attendant also gave a beast skin with words written on it and Ajax nodded at the numbers on the skin before checking the crystals inside the Spatial Bag with his Divine Spirit Consciousness. At the same time, the system sent the number of crystals in the Special Bag. ''Ding, The Crystals in the Spatial Bag are as follows: Chapter 1745 [Bonus ] Mass Thorough Analysis ? ''Ding, The Crystals in the Spatial Bag are as follows: Waterfire, Earthfire, Windfire, Metalfire, Darkfire, Demonfire, Jadefire, Moonfire, Sunfire, and Starfire, Water, Fire, Wind¡­.. ''Ding, Two Giant, 100 High-level and 100 Mid-level crystals for each type and the remaining are all low-level crystals. ''Ding, Do you want me to do two thorough analyses of the new type of crystals? While Ajax was checking the crystals in the Spatial Bag, he received a series of system notifications regarding the crystals and at the same time, the system asked him about the thorough analyses regarding the crystals. Since half of the crystals he received were mixed crystals, Ajax had to use two thorough analyses. Only bypleting two thorough analyses, Ajax could merge them and diffuse them as he wished. There were nearly one billion mixed crystals and 0.5 billion pure crystals, and almost all of them were low-level crystals. Because of that reason, he was able to get more crystals as mixed crystals valued less than pure crystals. ''Do it.'' Since the system had confirmed that there were enough crystals, Ajax didn''t bother to check the crystals in the Spatial Bag and asked the system toplete the thorough analyses. ''Also, once the two thorough analyses arepleted, merge all the crystals into Giant Crystals and diffuse them into Perfect Cystals.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax quietly gave another order to the system. ''Ding, Two low-level, mid-level, high-level and Giant Waterfire Crystals will be consumed. ''Ding, The two thorough analysis of the Waterfire Cyrstals has been started ...it will take three + three hours. ''Ding, Two low-level, mid-level, high-level and Giant Metalfire Crystals will be consumed. ''Ding, The two thorough analysis of the Metalfire Cyrstals has been started ...it will take three + three hours. . . . . Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head regarding the thorough analyses of the mixed crystals and one thorough analysis of a pure crystal. ''By the time the thorough analyses arepleted, I will be in the Greater Jade Dragon World.'' After settling hismissions with the Special Notice Service Center, Ajax decided to enter the Greater Jade Dragon World for Twilight''s Trial. Also, he had a few other things to talk about with Uncle Draven and since he was not going to enter the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax decided to enter the world. "Sir, thanks formissioning us back to back." The female attendant''s words made Ajaxe out of his thoughts as he heard, "Shall we talk about your nextmission?" "Sure." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "However, I was hoping to get some additional privileges likemissioning multiple items for thismission." The Special Notice Service Center could ept themissions when a client meets the criteria; however, there was a rule that one could onlymission one type of item permission. However, Ajax didn''t want tomission only one type of item and was trying to seek some privilege. ''If they don''t give me any privilege, I can go andmission only one type of item.'' Ajax was not expecting to get the privileges just because he asked; however, he felt that he should at least give it a try by asking. As the saying goes, ''If you don''t ask, you won''t get it.'' "Sorry, sir. The rules of our organization are very strict that I¡­." ''Little girl¡­it''s alright! Allow him to order three items for his nextmission.'' When the female attendant was apologetically exining to Ajax that he could only order one item permission, she received a voice transmission from the Cat Statue, making her stop her words. "What happened? Why did you stop? Is something wrong?" Ajax was only giving it a try and was not expecting much from the Special Notice Service Center. Moreover, when he heard the female attendant''s initial words, Ajax hadpletely given up and decided to order only one item for the entiremission. However, the female attendant didn''tplete her words, making Ajax raise his brows as he asked her about it. "Sorry, Sir. I have just received an order from the manager that since you are the most esteemed client of ours, he decided to make an exception and allow you to order three different items for yourmission." The female attendant apologized to Ajax once again as she informed Ajax about the order from the Cat Statue in a polite way to make Ajax feel happy. It was one of the qualities of all the attendants in the stores to speak in a way so that their clients would be happy and the female attendant could be considered very skilled in that matter and that''s how she was able to get a position in the store in the first ce. "Excellent." Ajax became happy; however, he was not in a hurry to ce the order as he had another thing he needed to ask. "Also, currently, I only have 850 trillion trader''s tokens, I was hoping you would make an exception and let me ce themission for the 100 quadrillion trader''s tokens." Even though Ajax had the limit of cing an order of one Quintillion trader''s tokens, for that, he needed to pay an advance payment of at least 100 Quadrillion trader''s tokens which was 10 percent of the entiremission value. However, after paying the 800 trillion trader''s tokens for his previous order, Ajax was only left with a little over 850 trader''s tokens. So, he could ce an order of a maximum value of 85 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. Hence, Ajax requested the female attendant to increase themission value for him by another 15 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, rounding it to 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. "It''s a small matter, sir. I can do it even with the order of the manager." This time, the female attendant didn''t have to wait for permission from the Cat Statue as she had that much authority. Ajax had already built a trust with the Special Notice Service Center and it was the least the female attendant could do for him, Chapter 1746 Fourth Commission ? Initially, Ajax didn''t have the thought of asking for the second privilege; however, when his first privilege, which was the strictest rule, was broken for him, Ajax saw hope for his second privilege. Moreover, he also learned that the Manager of the store was watching him. ''The attendant was already an Emperor Realm Cultivator and how powerful that Manager will be?'' Ajax was already curious about the Special Notice Service Center from the moment he learned about its existence. Also, he was curious about how this organization was able to amass so many trader''s tokens despite being vtile of the Trader''s Tokens'' value. Of course, Ajax had only thought about it for a while before shaking his head, ''When I am powerful, I will slowly find more about it.'' Since Ajax didn''t have the slightest clue regarding how powerful the Special Notice Service Center was or the organization behind it, he was sure about it one thing, the existence is much more powerful than the top five sects. Even the Celestial Dawn Sect was using their services to sell their tickets and when he thought about it now, he noticed something. ''The old man from whom I bought the Dawn Talismans, he doesn''t seem like he was from the auction house or the Celestial Dawn Sect. If my guess is correct, he must have some rtion with his Special Notice Service Center.'' Of course, Ajax was only guessing about the identity of the old man and he knew that he might be wrong. Anyway, Ajax was sure about one thing, the Special Notice Service Center was not normal. As for the Special Notice Service Center, they were known for its strict rules; however, they still bent the rules for Ajax not because they really valued Ajax. Instead, it was because the Cat Statue had ordered the female attendant to amass some cultivation resources that it believed Ajax would buy. Hence, if Ajax couldmission more items, they could empty their inventory and quickly increase their profits. "Sir, can you tell me the items you want tomission and their buying price along with the maximum limit for each time." The female attendant asked Ajax about the details of hismission. "I want 500 million Supreme Grade Stones and with the current market price, I will offer 200 million Trader''s Tokens per piece." Previously, Ajax bought one Supreme Grade Stone for 2 million trader''s tokens per piece and now, he was offering 2 million. Currently, the Celestial Dawn Sect was offering only 1 million trader''s tokens and some low and mid-level traders were buying the stones at 1.5 million trader''s tokens with their savings. As for Ajax, he was offering the highest price in the market and making sure that everyone would sell their Supreme Grade Spirit Stones to him. The reason why Ajax was buying so many Supreme Grade Spirits Stones despite being unable to use them for his cultivation was for his n towards nurturing the 100 old cultivators from the Secret World. That''s right! Since their life wasing to an end, Ajax decided to convert their body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation so that they could live for another 10000 years. Even though he had some eternal world fruits and could buy a few more, Ajax knew it would be quite difficult to have 100 eternal world fruits. ''Even if I was able to secure 100 eternal world fruits,pared to the Divine Body Cultivation, the benefits the old cultivators will get from eating the Eternal World Fruits was nothing.'' Since each method had its difficulties, Ajax decided to choose the one that gave out the most benefits to the old cultivators. ''Not only the increase in their life spans, but their bodies be stronger and I can use the Giant Crystals to help them awaken their own Divine Rules at the same time, their chances of ascending also increase by 15 percent which is quite high for the humans who had weak bodies, unlike the dragons.'' Ajax hade prepared while entering the Special Notice Service Center and he was ready for multiple backup ns in case some of the things didn''t go as he nned. "And, there should be five types of elements for the supreme grade spirit stones like before, right? That will be only 100 trillion trader''s tokens. Sir, you still have 99.9 quadrillion trader''s tokens worth ofmission." The female attendant calcted the price and informed Ajax about the leftover bnce. "For the second item, I want to buy nt Essence." Ajax nodded his head as he informed the female attendant about the second item, making her excited. Earlier, they had bought huge quantities of nt essence from the Forest Dragon Emperor and they could directly add that to Ajax''smission. So, of course, he was happy about it. "The current market price for a drop of nt essence is 100 million trader''s tokens and some small and mid-level traders were selling at 150 million trader''s tokens." Even before Ajax could quote his price, the female attendant informed Ajax about the market data. "Of course, I know." After his firstmission with the Special Notice Service Center, Ajax was doing some work regarding the market prices of the items he was nning tomission. So, he had already asked about the current price of the nt essence and was surprised to see that the value had fallen by so muchpared to thest time hemissioned a drop of nt essence for one billion trader''s tokens. It would be a lie if Ajax didn''t have any regrets; however, at that time, Ajax believed that he did the right thing. Due to the drastic decrease in the price of the nt essence, Ajax decided to buy huge quantities as he even wondered whether the quota of the nt Essence in hismission would be filled or not. ''Anyway, it is the Special Notice Service Center''s thing to worry about.'' Ajax didn''t bother about such things as he directly said, "200 million trader''s tokens per a drop of nt essence and I will allocate 50 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens for it." ***** Need more Golden Tickets....^-^ Chapter 1747 A Commission worth of 100 Quadrillion Trader’s Tokens

Chapter 1747 A Commission worth of 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens

"200 million trader''s tokens per drop of nt Essence and for 50 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, you will get 250 million drops of nt Essence, which is quite a huge quantity even for the sect." The female attendant made the calction and tried to ask Ajax what he was nning to do; however, she suppressed her curiosity due to the rules of the Special Notice Service Center. No matter what their clientmission, they should not ask what they were nning to do with the items. "Yes, it is a huge quantity." Ajax didn''t exin much; however, if his guess was right, the manager of the center might have already guessed about him having a Lesser World Tree. ''It''s alright! From what I heard from my Mother-inw, there were thousands of Lesser World Trees in the universe and there were even hundreds of Standard World Trees.'' In the initial stages of nurturing the Lesser World Tree, it seemed easy; however, Ajax had already realized how difficult it would be as it grew. His Standard World Tree had already grown past 10000 years and it required 100 drops to increase its age by a single year and he didn''t even know how difficult it would be. ''Even though 250 million drops of nt Essence seem like a huge quantity, I am hoping that I can evolve my Standard World Tree into a Greater World Tree.'' This was what Ajax had in his head and once he had a Greater World Tree, he was hoping to get Divine Grade Fruits from the tree that would help him fulfil thest requirement of his Divine Spirit Cultivation. Of course, it was a backup n as he kept all his hopes on the Celestial Dawn Realm; however, there was no guarantee that he would get the Divine Grade Fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''Moreover, if I fail to get the fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm, I can have some hope in getting the Divine Grade Fruit from the Greater World Tree and even if it fails, I will go all-out and nurture a Divine World Tree myself.'' ording to Ajax''s assumptions, if he could evolve the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree, then he felt it was possible to evolve the same tree into the Greater World Tree and Divine World Tree. As for why he was able toe up with the assumption that since he was able to merge 10 Greater World Cores into a Divine World Core, Ajax felt that the next evolution of the Greater World Tree was the Divine World Tree. ''Let''s keep these thoughts aside andplete themission.'' Ajax put those thoughts aside and gave thest item he was nning tomission. "As for the remaining 49.9 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, I want tomission the low-level mixed crystals of all elements¡­remember, only low-level mixed crystals." "The price for each low-level crystal is currently 50000-75000 trader''s tokens, right? I will offer 100000 trader''s tokens. Buy them." Unlike before, Ajax didn''t buy the Giant Crystals or high-level or mid-level crystals. Moreover, he was not even interested in buying pure low-level crystals; instead, he only went for low-level mixed crystals. Since the system had alreadypleted the thorough analysis of many crystals, Ajax didn''t want to buy more mid-level, high-level or Giant Crystals anymore. Also, in case, if he got any crystals that he had notpleted the thorough analysis, he could just buy them individually from the market or the auction house. "Yes, Sir. Please check the details of yourmission onest time before it is released to the traders tomorrow." The female attendant wrote down all the details of Ajax''s fourthmission and asked him to check it once. ¡­. Fourth Commission of Clint [Harbinger of World Destruction]. 1) Supreme Grade Spirit Stones x 500 million (100 Trillion Trader''s Tokens). 2) Low-level Mixed Crystals x 499 billion but rounded off to 500 billion (49.9 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens). 3) nt Essence x 250 million drops (50 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens). Total Commission Value: 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, paid: 800 Trillion Trader''s Tokens as advance payment. ¡­.. "Everything is correct." After taking a look at themission details, Ajax nodded his head confirming that there were no mistakes in it. "Since everything is correct, themission will be epted after the client pays the advance payment." The female attendant asked Ajax to pay the advance payment and Ajax paid it and got the confirmation of the spirit of the trader''s realm. "Once themission isplete, the client will be informed. Thank you formissioning us, Sir. We will do our best." Soon, Ajax left the Service Center and then Trader''s Realm. ¡­. In the Special Notice Service Center, "Sir, I still don''t understand why we should not use the vtility of the trader''s tokens to make huge profits?" The female attendant was already excited about themission; however, she always had a question in her head and after mustering her courage, she asked the Cat Statue regarding her doubt. With the number of trader''s tokens they have, they could buy all kinds of cultivation resources at a cheap price right now andter when the prices are recovered, they would sell those cultivation resources for 10x times. "Little Girl, do you think nothing will happen if we do that?" If it was before, the Cat Statue would have not even bothered to talk with the female attendant; however, things have changed now. In the eyes of the Cat Statue, the female attendant had already be a lucky charm by making a client repeatedlymission them with the increasingmission value. So, he exined to her, "To establish ourselves in the Trader''s Realm, we have paid a lot and even that was not enough as we are still bound by many things. One of them was not to buy the cultivation resources on our own and there had to be someone whomissioned us." ''Huh?'' The female attendant raised her brows when she heard the Cat Statue''s exnation. **** Chapter 1748 [Bonus ] Official Member Of The Organization ? ''Huh?'' The female attendant understood something; however, at the same time, a new question arose in her head. "However, didn''t we buy a huge quantity of nt Essence and the low-level crystals yesterday?" Actually, the female attendant didn''t want to ask this question; however, she felt she needed to learnpletely about it. Otherwise, she might not be able to focus on her work. "Haha¡­.meow." The Cat Statueughed as it exined, "I have used my personal ount to make the transaction with the Forest Dragon Emperor for the nt Essence and as for the low-level crystals, Imissioned an order under my subordinate''s name." "So, it has nothing to do with our organization." The Cat Statue continued, "That''s the reason why I asked you to create a personal ount tomission some cultivator resources for yourself to use the vtility of the market. Even though your personal ount has limited trader''s tokens, as time passes by you can umte a fortune." "Of course, no matter how legal it seems, if you get caught by the higher-ups, it will be the end of your career. As for me, even if I get caught, with my contribution to the organization and authority in the organization, I can just pay some fine and continue to be the manager of this Special Notice Service Center." "That''s why, you need to increase your rank in our [Divine Cat Organization] as soon as possible." Whenever the Cat Statue got the time, it would urge the female attendant to join the organization. "Sir, I have made up my mind. I want to be an official member of the organization." Even though she was in the organization, she was just a servant in the organization and could be reced anytime they wanted. The female attendant was hearing about the benefits of the organization from the Cat Statue for a while and finally, she decided to be an official member of the organization. "Haha¡­I know you will be an official member of the organization." The Cat Statue was satisfied with the reply as it silently thought in its head, ''With her, I have finally referred 100 members into the organization and now, I will receive 10 percent of their total earnings for as long as they are alive in the organization.'' "Can you tell me how many trader''s tokens I need to pay for bing an Official Member of the Organization?" Even though she could tell that the organization was dangerous, she still wanted to be an official member of the Organization because of the benefits she would get. ording to the Cat Statue, even the basic official member in the Organization would have the chance of ascending to the Heavenly Realm without cultivating. Of course, they have to pay the trader''s tokens or umte enough contribution points to get the chance. However, before that, she needed to be an official member and for that, the female attendant had to pay the required trader''s tokens. That''s why she asked about the price she needed to pay. "It''s just 100 trillion trader''s tokens¡­meow" The Cat Statue meowed. "What? 100 trillion trader''s tokens?" "Don''t be surprised. Isn''t that very little for what you will be getting in return?" Seeing the shocked look on the female attendant''s face, the Cat Statue reminded her about the benefits she would be getting soon. The female attendant knew that the price would be very high because ascending to the Heavenly Realm without any tribtion could be considered cheating. For such cheating, 100 trillion trader''s tokens could be still considered less as many powerhouses were ready to pay Quadrillion or even 100 Quadrillion of Trader''s Tokens if they get the chance to ascend to the Heavenly Realm However, the Divine Cat Organization won''t let anyone be their official member and even the female attendant was observed for 100 years in secret before letting her join the Special Notice Service Center. After that, the Cat Statue observed her for more than a decade before giving her the chance to join the [Divine Cat Organization]. "Why are you worrying about the trader''s tokens? You have already gained 10 trillion trader''s tokens from the previousmission and as long as that client''stestmission ispleted, you will get 100 trillion trader''s tokens which are enough to make you an official member of the organization." The real reason why the Cat Statue finally revealed the condition to be an official member was that it already knew the female attendant had met enough requirements. It won''t be long before she gets the 100 trillion trader''s tokens and once it happens, they could make her an official member. "Yes, Sir. I am looking for to bing an official member." The female attendant felt the pain to use the 100 trillion trader''s tokens she would be getting afterpleting themission; however, at the same time, she was excited for the new beginning of her life. ¡­. In the Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' A portal opened as Ajax walked out of it and without waiting for anyone, Ajax directly flew towards the Jade Pce. After returning from the Trader''s Realm, Ajax didn''t waste much time in the Normal Dwarven World as he directly used the Special Teleportation Token to enter the Greater Jade Dragon World. Previously, Ajax had been given the title of ''Jade Human'' by the Jade Dragon Emperor, Draven. The meaning of the title signified that he was a good friend and a respected guest of the Greater Jade Dragon World. "Brother Ajax, you have finally arrived." "Ajax, you are here?" Both the father and son duo were happy to see Ajax and other than them, there was a beautiful woman who was wearing a slim jade crown that matched the crown that Draven was wearing. Without any introduction, Ajax could tell that she was Jade Dragonling''s mother and Draven''s mother. "Yes, Uncle Draven." Ajax revealed a slight smile as he bowed to Draven and his wife. "Human, I have heard so much about you." The Jade Dragon Empress'' voice was smooth as she said, "When we ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, I hope you can take care of Little Jaed." "Since we are meeting for the first time, I will give you this thing as it will be useless to be after ascending." **** Support the book with the Golden Tickets and Gifts. Chapter 1749 Jade Bracelet ? "Since we are meeting for the first time, I will give you this thing as it will be useless to be after ascending." While saying that, the Jade Dragon Empress took out a Jade Bracelet from her storage ring and gave it to Ajax. "Th..this¡­" Ajax didn''t expect to receive a gift so easily; however, he calmed himself as he took the Jade Bracelet and at the same time, the system sent him the information. ''Ding, Item Name: Jade Bracelet. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Effect: Increases the cultivation speed by 10 times. Special Effect: [Jade Essence Burst (mini)]. Jade Essence Burst: Upon activating the special effect, the wearer''s cultivation increases by 1000 times for the next 10 minutes. Cooldown: One month. "With this Jade Bracelet, your regr cultivation speed will increase by 10 times and monthly once, you can use the Jade Essence Burst that increases your cultivator speed by more than 100 times for the 10 minutes." The Jade Dragon Empress informed Ajax about the effects of the Jade Bracelet along with the system. "Th-this is very valuable, Aunt." Ajax knew how valuable it was and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your valuable gift." Since the Jade Dragon Empress is ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, the Mythical Grade items would be useless. Moreover, he knew it was a good item that he could not reject and could use for his cultivation of improving his Divine Spirit Consciousness Capacity. Hence, he didn''t reject the gift and epted it without any hesitation. "When Uncle and Aunt, ascend to Heavenly Bestial Realm, don''t worry about Jaed. I will take care of him." Of course, Ajax didn''t forget why he was able to receive such kindness and gifts from the Jade Dragon Couple. Therefore, Ajax assured them regarding that matter. "Ajax, is Twilight ready for the Trial? The trial will start the day after tomorrow and the candidates will be finalized by tomorrow night." After talking for a moment, the Jade Dragon Emperor asked Ajax about Twilight. "He is ready, Uncle Draven. Not only did he be an Emperor Realm Dragon but he also awakened a Divine Rule." Initially, Ajax didn''t want to talk about Twilight''s Divine Rule; however, after seeing how worried the Jade Dragon Couple was about their son''s safety, he wanted to show them some things that are not ordinary. Of course, Ajax hid the awakening percentage of the Divine Bestial Rule that Twilight has awakened which was already capped at Twilight''s current cultivation. As long as Twilight activates the Divine Dark Rule (Bestial), it could even injure the peak powerhouses of the Dragon Region before escaping from them. "What? He awakened a Divine Rule?" The Jade Dragon Couple and the Dragonling were shocked to look at the 15-year-old boy standing in front of them. ''It looks like Ajax has a mysterious master behind you that could even help your contracted spirit beast awaken a Divine Rule.'' ''I think Ajax''s master might have already ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' The Jade Dragon Couple believed that Ajax had a mysterious master behind him; otherwise, how could he have a rare resource like World Cores and even Giant Crystals? And now, even his contracted spirit beast that became an Emperor Realm beast every recently could awaken a Divine Rule. Even though the Ascenders could not contact the cultivators from the Earth Realm, it would be different for those cultivators who had already established themselves in the Heavenly Realm. Thinking of Ajax''s mysterious master, they felt more assured. "This time, all the rewards from the Trial of Divine Dragons will be yours, Ajax." Uncle Draven kept his thoughts aside as he chuckled at the preparations done by Ajax for the Trial of Divine Dragons. "Haha." Ajax alsoughed in return because there was nothing wrong with what Uncle Draven had said. "By the way, Uncle Draven, I havee early because I need your help regarding something." After thinking for a moment, Ajax slowly asked for the Jade Dragon Emperor''s realm. "Just say it, Ajax. As long as it is within my ability, I will help you. Even if it was not within my ability, I will try my best." The Jade Dragon Emperor treated Ajax as a family and thus, he didn''t mind helping him before ascending to Heavenly Bestial Realm. Even for regr cultivators, surviving the lightning tribtion before ascending to the Heavenly Realms could be considered a challenge; however, for the Jade Dragon Couple, who was intentionally stalling their ascendance for a thousand years, it was not a challenge. Because they have all prepared everything during thest thousand years. So, it was a guaranteed ascension for both Jade Dragons. "It is regarding my world, the Normal Dwarven World. I want to sever ties with it in the eyes of everyone who would start searching for my Trader''s Avatar. As you already knew, I might be the target of every trader in the universe because of the resources I have in the future." "Of course, other than you and a few other trusted people, no one knows that [Harbinger of the World Destroyer] is Ajax and the only connection that the [Harbinger of the World Destroyer] has was the Normal Dwarven World with which I created my ount in the Trader''s Realm." Ajax exined everything beforeing to the main point, "If you buy my Normal Dwarven World, the [Harbinger of the World Destroyer] would be a trader without a world and no one could track the real me." In short, Ajax wanted to create a facade that the Normal Dwarven World was sold to the Greater Jade Dragon World and since the Greater Jade Dragon World already has some Normal Dwarven Worlds, no one would doubt anything. "It''s a good idea." Uncle Draven was impressed by Ajax''s thoughtfulness for the future and readily agreed. Soon, they entered the Trader''s Realm and made a contract in the presence of the Spirit of the Trader''s Realm before Ajax sold his Normal Dwarven World to Draven for one Trillion Trader''s Tokens. Chapter 1750 Divine Jade Rule ? Generally, a Normal World won''t cost one trillion trader''s tokens; however, since it was a Normal Dwarven World, the price would be around one trillion trader''s tokens. Since the price was not high and not low, Ajax was not worried about attracting much attention when someone tried to investigate [Harbinger of the World Destruction]. "Since the deal isplete, let''s return." Afterpleting the deal, Ajax saw that the Normal Dwarven World was still under his title [Emperor of the Worlds] and nodded his head in satisfaction before suggesting they return. ''Swoosh'' Unlike before, Ajax no longer needs to enter and exit the Trader''s Realm through the Normal Dwarven world because ording to the spirit of the Trader''s Realm, that world no longer belongs to Ajax. Hence, Ajax could enter and exit the Trader''s Realm from anywhere he wanted to. Generally, the cultivators who enter the Trader''s Realm with the help of their worlds like the Normal Dwarven World, won''t sell the world no matter the reason. However, Ajax might be one of the few cultivators who did that and it was to protect the dwarves in the world because when his enemies don''t find him, they would vent their anger at his dwarves. That''s the main reason why Ajax was willing to sell the Normal Dwarven World. "Let''s enter my world as we have teleportation portals to some of the Greater Human Worlds. Also, we can discuss more about the Normal Dwarven World until the Teleportation Portal between my world and the Normal Dwarven World is constructed." As they nned, the Jade Dragon Emperor invited Ajax to his world aftermissioning some of his Dwarfs to construct a teleportation portal in the Normal Dwarven World. Of course, they used the Trader''s Realm to travel between the Greater Jade Dragon World to the Normal Dwarven World as they got permission from the Jade Dragon Emperor who became the new owner of the world. ¡­. In the Greater Jade Dragon World, "Ajax, since there is still time for the Trial of the Divine Dragons, do you want to undergo the body tempering with the help of the Jadefire?" Uncle Draven suddenly remembered that Ajax wanted to undergo body tempering in the past and reminded him of that. "Sure." Since he had alreadypleted the main issue of selling the Normal Dwarven World, Ajax decided to undergo body tempering with the Jadefire. ''Also, I can use this opportunity to awaken a new Divine Rule.'' Previously when Ajax was undergoing the body tempering with the Sentiment mes, he didn''t have the Giant Moon Crystal or Giant Sun Crystal or Giant Star Crystal. Even though he could have merged and diffused the crystals from the core section of the me Chamber, Ajax didn''t want to reveal his ability to anyone, including the Sentient mes. Therefore, he was unable to awaken, Divine Moon Rule, Divine Sun Rule and Divine Star Rule. However, this time, things were different because Ajax had lots of Giant Jade Crystals and by using a single Giant Jade Crystals, he could ask the Jadefire to help him awaken a Divine Rule. "Since you have already undergone the body tempering with the Stormfire, you can directly enter the Core Section toplete your body tempering with the Jadefire." Nodding his head, the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor had directly given Ajax ess that only the royal families of the world would get. "Thank you, Uncle Draven." Even though Ajax could enter the Core Section of the me Chamber without the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor, Ajax didn''t reject the offer and entered the me Chamber by leaving Twilight outside to y with Jade Dragonling. ''By the time Ie out of the me Chamber, I will have another Divine Rule with lots of crystals.'' Ajax had a slight smile on his face as he entered the me Chamber as started working just like how he worked in the me Chamber belonging to the other Sentient mes. ¡­.. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one day passed by as Ajax walked out of the me Chamber with a satisfied smile. ''Ding, The host used 100 Giant Jade Crystals and sessfully increased the awakening percentage of the Divie Jade Rule to 20 percent. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Jade (20 percent). Effect: (Passive): The time and resources for upgrading thews, souls and Rules will be reduced by 5 percent. Note: The regr effect of this Divine Rule will be active all the time even when the Divine Jade Rule was not activated. Skill: Jade Energy Burst. Skill Information: When using this skill, all the cultivators around the host will experience a cultivation boost of 10 times for 5 minutes with a cooldown of 5 minutes. Duration: 20 minutes Cooldown: one week. While he was walking out of the me Chamber, Ajax checked the information on his newly awakened Divine Rule, the Divine Jade Rule which he used the Giant Jade Crystals to increase the awakening percentage to the maximum he could. ''So, the Divine Jade Rule helps in cultivation and speeds up the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules¡­.It''s good.'' Even though it didn''t have much of abat power, Ajax felt it was a good supportive Divine Rule and after learning about it, Ajax had got some new ideas. ''What if¡­what if I make all those 100 Old Cultivators awaken the Divine Jade Rule and with the skill [Jade Energy Burst], they could help one another and speed up their cultivation by a lot.'' Of course, Ajax quickly rejected that thought from his mind because he knew that a Sentient me could bless a cultivator with a Divine Rule only once every year. Since most of the Sentient mes could bless the cultivator with two Divine Rules, they could bless a cultivator with only two Divine Rules and not more than that. Currently, Ajax had already taken the two chances of the Sentient mes and if the Sentient me wanted to bless other cultivators with the Divine Rule, it would need to wait for at least one year. So, Ajax rejected that thought but not the idea because he had already decided to try something else. Chapter 1751 [Bonus ] Skill: Jadefire ? ''I need to collect the stones belonging to the Jade Cultivator''s Laws or Souls and make them cultivate them. As long as they awaken aw or soul belonging to the Jade Element, I can use the Jade Crystals to awaken the Giant Jade Rule.'' This was what Ajax had thought and wanted to implement while nurturing the Old Cultivators. ording to him, as long as everyone awakens the Divine Jade Rule, it won''t be faster for them to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Jade Rule. Moreover, the cultivation resources required for their cultivation would also be naturally reduced. Therefore, Ajax decided to add the collection of the Cultivator''s Law Stones and Soul Stones as his second objective in nurturing the 100 old cultivators. As for the first objective, Ajax had already decided to make sure that all the old cultivators be Divine Body Cultivators so that they could increase their lifespan by 10000 years when they be high-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivators. ''Also, the awakening percentage of my Divine me Rule has been increased to 38 percent.'' Even though the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule was decreasing, Ajax had already expected it. Nevertheless, he was excited about it because it''s been less than a month since he knew about the Divine Rules and he had already increased his awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule to 38 percent. If it was known by others except for the members of the Dragonheart Society and the Sect Leaders of the Sects who own the Sentient mes, everyone would be shocked to hear a young man have a Divine me Rule with nearly 40 percent of awakening. ''Even though the additional percentage above 20 percent is sealed and could not be used, it''s alright! As long as I can improve my cultivation, I can directly use the power.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he checked the new effect he unlocked under his Divine me Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: me (20 percent) (18 percent sealed). Effect: [Passive] Increases the cultivation speed and decreases the cultivation resources required for the fire-rtedws, souls and Rule by 8 percent. Note: The passive effect from the Divine Jade Rule can be stacked with this effect since these two came from the same source which is from the Sentient me: Jadefire. Skill: Jadefire (Sealed). Information: The cultivator can release a Jadefire from his body to burn the cultivators. If the burnt cultivators awakened any Divine Rules and the host had those Divine Rules, he could increase the awakening percentage of those Divine Rules by a random percent. Just as he thought about the changes in his Divine me Rule, the system showed him an effect and a skill. As usual, he could only use the effect for now and the skill is sealed and can''t be used anytime soon. ''T-this is¡­such a useful skill and I can burn my enemies and be even more powerful.'' The passive effect had already surprised Ajax and made him excited; however, when he read the sealed skill, he was thoroughly shocked. In the future, when the old monsters who were hiding in their caves learn about him and his cultivation resources, Ajax decided to use them as fuel to make himself more powerful. ''Anyway, it will take time and I need to find the Divine Grade Fruit first and then focus on breaking through to the mid-level Emperor Realm.'' With a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Spirit Cultivation, Ajax could use the Divine Rules that were awakened by 30 percent and hence, after seeing the skill [Jadefire], Ajax wanted to know about the breakthrough requirements for the mid-level emperor realm cultivation. ''I can either find a Divine Grade Fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm or just nurture one of my trees into Divine Trees and get a Divine Grade Fruit. In the worst-case scenario, I will just enter the depths of the Dark Region to find it.'' Ajax didn''t want to rely only on a single thing and wanted to find more routes in which he could find a Divine Grade Fruit. So far, he only has three sources from which he could get the Celestial Dawn Realm and the most dangerous one was entering the Dark Region because even the powerful powerhouses of the universe didn''t dare to venture deeper into the Dark Region. Whenever they venture a little deeper into the Dark Region, they would form teams and explore it together and that''s how scary the Dark Region is. So far Ajax didn''t even enter the Dark Region properly and knew it would be dangerous to enter the depths of the Dark Region at his current state and that''s the reason why he considered it as his worst choice. Nevertheless, if he was unable to find the Divine Grade Fruit, he could only enter the depths of the Dark Region. "Anyway, let''s keep things aside and ask whether Uncle Draven and Aunt Jane have made enough preparations for their uing lightning tribtion." Even though Ajax knew that they had made enough preparations, he felt he should ask them because he had Soul Protection Fruits with him and he could even refine the Soul Protection Pills. In the worst case, if the Jade Dragon Couple failed to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Ajax thought that they could at least protect their souls and slowly reconstruct their bodies. ''At the same time, I can also ask about the resources that Uncle Draven promised to give me?'' Ajax thought ofpleting another task while he was at it. "It''s alright, Ajax. We have already consumed the Soul Protection Pills." The couple shook their heads as the Jade Dragon Emperor said that they had made enough preparations. "Uncle, Aunt, I know you must have made enough preparations but do you have Heaven''s Mandate Pill?" With a mysterious smile on his face, Ajax asked them about one of the pills he got enlightenment into. "What? Heaven''s Mandate Pill? Do you have those pills?" Chapter 1752 Heavens Mandate Pill ? Heaven''s Mandate Pill was one of the three pill recipes that Ajax got enlightenment into when he sessfully broke through to Emperor Realm. With the help of this pill, the cultivator can increase his chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm by 10 percent. Even though 10 percent seemed very little, it was enough to make all the peak Emperor Realm Powerhouses in the universe go crazy about those pills. "What? Heaven''s Mandate Pill? Do you have those pills?" It was the same with the Jade Dragon Couple when they heard about ''Heaven''s Mandate Pill'' from Ajax. In the Dragon Region, the pills were already rare and even the ones that were avable in the Dragon Worlds are very costly. As for the Heaven''s Mandate Pill, the Jade Dragon Couple already knew about it and tried to get it from the top sects; however, their luck was not good as they were unable to get their hands on the pills. Even though they made enough preparations for their uing Lightning Tribtion, having a Heaven''s Mandate Pill would boost their confidence in ascending to Heavenly Bestial Realm. Hence, they asked whether Ajax had the pills. "For now, I don''t have them; however, I can refine them¡­Haha." Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that the Jade Dragon Couple didn''t have the Heaven''s Mandate Pill because he wanted to repay them before they could ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm for all the things he had received from them. "You can refine Heaven''s Mandate Pills?" The Jade Dragon Couple had already decided not to get shocked by Ajax''s achievements; however, hearing his words, they could not help but get shocked. "Yes, and I will refine them for you." Even though the ingredients to refine the Heaven''s Mandate Pills are very rare, Ajax had already looked about it and felt that he could buy them in the current situation where all the traders were selling the cultivation resources for a cheap price to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. "Great." Draven became excited as he informed, "Just tell me the ingredients and I will get them for you." "Sure, Uncle Draven." Compared to him, Ajax could tell that Uncle Draven has a lot of connections which could help Ajax in saving his time. The quicker he got the ingredients, the sooner he could refine the Heaven''s Mandate Pills for them. With that thought in mind, Ajax said the ingredients to Uncle Draven and of course, Ajax didn''t think much that Uncle Draven might find out the pill recipe from the ingredients. Even if someone watches the pill refining of the Heaven''s Mandate Pill, they could not refine it as the process is quiteplicated and almost impossible for even the Alchemy Kings to achieve. As for Draven, he didn''t even have the basic knowledge of Alchemy. So, there was no way he could refine his own pills and it was the same with the other cultivators in the universe. ''Moreover, even if an Alchemy Emperor learned about the ingredients, it would take centuries for him to figure out the procedure for refining the pills.'' While informing the ingredients, Ajax didn''t even bother to ask Draven to take measures while he collected the ingredients. ''Even though he didn''t ask me to be careful while collecting the ingredients, I will separate the ingredients into three sets and ask for a set per cultivator.'' On the other hand, the Jade Dragon Emperor decided to be careful on his own. "By the way, the nt essence you asked for, I have received some." Before Ajax could remind him about the nt essence, the Jade Dragon Emperor remembered about it and took out a small storage gourd. "I was about to ask you about the nt essence, Uncle Draven." Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he took the storage gourd. "So far, I was able to collect 100000 drops of nt Essence and before I face the lightning tribtion, I can get another 100000 drops of nt Essence. I hope you can use it well." Draven informed that he would provide more drops of nt Essence, making Ajax excited. Even though Ajax would be getting 250 million drops of nt Essence, he was still happy with 100000 drops of nt Essence because it was enough for 10 nts to reach 10000 years in no time. "Now, you can go and rest. Once I get all the ingredients, I will inform you." Soon, Uncle Draven sent Ajax to a guest pce, where he started contacting the distributors of the ingredients he used to make deals with in the past. ¡­. In the Guest ce, "Twilight, do you want to rest in the Bestial Paradise or outside?" Ajax asked Twilight about his ce of rest. Since there was only one day left for Twilight''s Trial of the Divine Dragons, Ajax wanted Twilight to be in his peak condition. "I want to stay outside." Twilight instantly replied as he directly rushed into his room. I hope nothing goes wrong with the trial as I didn''t want to show my battle prowess to anyone until I converted my regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax went into his room and sleeping on the bed made up of jade, he sent his Divine Spirit Consciousness into the Inner World. Since he had gotten his hands on the nt Essence, Ajax decided to use them to nurture his trees. ¡­. In the Inner World, ''With 100000 drops of nt Essence, I can nurture the [Soul Nourishing Tree] into a 10000-year-old tree.'' With an excited smile on his face, Ajax flew towards the [Soul Nourishing Tree]. ''It''s nurturing time.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax poured 8100 drops of nt Essence. Even though it was only a 1000-year-old tree, thanks to the Standard World Tree''s ability [Mother of Trees], the resources required by the trees would be reduced by 10 percent. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Soul Nourishing Tree started growing as its branches extended towards the [Standard World Tree] and the [Tree of Blessing] as system notifications kept ringing in Ajax''s head. Chapter 1753 Soul Reviver

Chapter 1753 Soul Reviver

Even though Ajax wanted to focus on one particr tree and nurture it as high as possible, Ajax changed his thoughts after learning how difficult it would be once the tree reached 10000 years. After 10000 years, the resources he required to nurture the tree for a single year would be increased by 100 times and what would happen once it reaches 100000 years old? Therefore, Ajax wanted to nurture all his trees for 10000 years first before focusing on a single tree. ording to his n, Ajax decided to go to his Normal Elven World and nurture the Lesser World Tree in that world and at the same time, he nned to evolve it into a Standard World Tree. ''For that, all I needed was 10,000 drops of nt Essence and a single Normal World Core.'' Ajax silently thought in his head of his ns afterpleting his nurturing of the Soul Nourishment Tree. ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishment Tree] has reached 5000 years old and bore a new fruit Soul Armour Fruit. ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishment Tree] has¡­ . . . ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishment Tree] has reached 10000 years old and bore a Soul Armour Fruit and a new fruit, [Primordial Soul Fruit]. ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishment Tree] has unlocked a new ability, [Soul Reviver]. A series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head as he kept his focus on the new fruits and the new ability. ''First, let''s see the information on the two new fruits.'' The [Soul Nourishment Tree] has bored two types of new fruits by the time it reaches 10000 years. Hence, Ajax wanted to take a look at them before looking at its new ability. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Soul Armour Fruit (One-time consumable). Grade: Mythical Grade. Effect: It can reduce the damage caused by a lightning strike on the soul by 50 percent. Note: It can be used while undergoing the Lightning Tribtion while ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Note: A cultivator could only consume three fruits in their lifetime and after consuming the fruits, he had to receive lightning strikes within a day. ''One-time consumable fruit? Since I have two fruits currently, I can easily block two lightning strikes while ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm.'' During the lightning tribtion that needed to bepleted to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm, every cultivator needed to survive nine lightning strikes. Since these Soul Armour Fruits can block the damage caused by lightning strikes by 50 percent, Ajax could easily survive two lightning strikes without any damage. Hence, these fruits would be increasing the survival rate and the sess rate of a cultivator in ascending to the Heavenly Realm. ''It looks like nurturing the [Soul Nourishment Tree] is not a bad idea. I should find time for nurturing this tree.'' Since Ajax was nning to help as many followers of his as possible to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, Ajax felt he needed more treasures like this. The main thing that was required by any cultivator while undergoing the Lightning Tribtion was confidence in himself and the cultivator could increase his confidence with the things that could increase his sess rate for the ascension. ''I have two for now and I will get one fruit for every 5000 years I nurture the tree.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he stored the two Soul Armour Fruits before checking out the other fruit. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Primordial Soul Fruit. Grade: Mythical Grade (Special). Effect: If a Soul Orb consumes this fruit, it can transform the Soul Orb into a proper spirit form. One of the important items that is used in the re-creation of the body. ''This must be an alternative for the Primordial Soul Stone that Father asked me to collect for the re-creation of his body.'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised and thought, ''All I need now is an Essence Of Rebirth and I can create one of the bodies.'' Three main ingredients were required to create a body and they are: 1) Essence of Rebirth. 2) Primordial Soul Stone. 3) Life Essence Pearl. 4) Ethereal Lotus Seed: An ingredient that could make the newly created body undergo a Celestial Transformation and it is optional. Among them, Ajax had already collected two Life Essence Pearls, an Ethereal Lotus Seed and now, a Primordial Soul Stone. All he needed right now was the Essence of Rebirth and Ajax could help either his father or Snow to create their new bodies. ''Anyway, since I will be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm soon, I can collect the remaining ingredients in no time.'' Ajax was excited for the day he could create new bodies for his Father and Snow and was looking forward to seeing them. ''This new ability seems quite useful to me.'' After checking out the information on the fruits, Ajax focused his attention on the Tree''s new ability and just from its name alone, Ajax could tell it would be a good one. ''Ding, Ability: Soul Reviver. Effect: As long as there is a single trace of the soul or a single part of the body, the Soul Nourishment Tree can slowly revive the soul. Note: The time to revive the soul is at least one year when it uses its other ability like [Soul Nourishing] and if not, it would take at least a decade. Cooldown for the ability: 100 years and of course, it depends on the age of the tree. If the tree is nurtured for 100 years, the Soul Nourishment Tree can use this ability once again. ''Holy¡­.this is Heaven-defying.'' Reading the ability''s information, Ajax was extremely shocked and became excited. Even though from the name, he could tell it was a good one, he didn''t expect it to be very good. Previously, when Snow died, it was with the help of the System that collected the traces of Snow and if he waste by a few more minutes, he would lose Snow forever. However, now, he don''t have to worry about time constraints and all he needed to have was a piece of body or a soul to revive the soul. Chapter 1754 [Bonus ] A Large Number Of Giant Crystals ? ''Adding the Soul Reviver with my Death Domain, I won''t be seeing any deaths of my contracted spirit beasts or the followers.'' Even though it made Ajax less stressful regarding the life and death of his summons and the followers, Ajax didn''t have any thoughts of sending them to death just because he could revive them. Moreover, with Soul Reviver, he would be reviving them as Soul Orb which would be full of impurities and needed the resources to create their bodies. It would take a lot of time for the summon or the follower to be as powerful as his old self. Hence, Ajax won''t be sending his summons to their deaths and would try his best not to let them die. "[Soul Nourishment Tree] is good and I should continue to nurture it more in the future." Even though the benefits that the Soul Nourishment Tree was bringing were good, ording to Ajax, the benefits won''t beparable to the [Tree of Blessing] and the [Standard World Tree]. [Tree of Blessing] will help him and his army of the Elemental Spirits whereas the [Standard World Tree] would give him treasures ranging from World Cores to nt Essence to Special Mythical Grade Items. Even before it became the [Standard World Tree] and less than 10000 years old, it gave him Eternal World Fruits, Profession Upgradtion Crystals, Giant Crystals, Body Creation Materials and many more. Each one of these cultivation resources was extremely useful for Ajax as they would make him more powerful. Therefore, the [Standard World Tree] became a tree that Ajax had to nurture to be as old as possible among the three trees he had. ''For now, there is no need to enter the Normal Elven World to nurture my second Lesser World Tree. I will do it after Twilight''s trial of Divine Dragons ispleted.'' Currently, Ajax had 95000 drops of nt Essence left and decided to keep 10000 drops of nt Essence aside for the Lesser World Tree in the Normal Elven World. As for the remaining 85000 drops of nt Essence, he would be feeding the [Standard World Tree]. ''With these 85000 drops of nt Essence, I can not even increase the tree''s age by 1000 years, but I will be getting more and more drops of nt Essence. So, it''s alright!'' At first, Ajax became a little depressed to learn that 85000 drops of nt Essence could only increase the age of the Standard World Tree by 850 years; however, when he thought about the 250 million drops of nt Essence from themission he ordered, Ajax''s depression disappeared and a smile returned. ''As long as I nurture it by 1000 years, I will get the Standard World Fruit and I am excited to see what kind of treasure is hiding in it.'' For every 1000 years, a Standard World Tree will bear a Standard World Fruits which was an upgraded version of the Lesser World Fruits. The Lesser World Fruits were already giving him guaranteed Mythcial Grade Treasures and even Special Mythical Grade Treasures. So, as an upgraded version of the Lesser World Fruits, Ajax was quite excited about the treasures hidden in the Standard World Fruit. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax poured 85000 drops of nt Essence for the [Standard World Tree] to absorb and soon, it started growing. Of course,pared to the speed at which the Tree used to grow in the past, it was extremely slow. There was only a small new branch with few leaves growing on it before the growth of the tree stopped. ''Ding, The [Standard World Tree] has reached 10851 years old. Soon, the system notification resounded in Ajax''s head informing about the tree''s age. ''Even if I use the 10000 drops of nt Essence I saved for my second Lesser World Tree, I can''t nurture it for 11000 years. So, I will wait until I get more drops of nt Essence.'' Ajax didn''t rush the nurture as he wanted to keep 10000 drops of nt Essence as an Emergency. Even though Ajax said it was for the second Lesser World Tree, he kept those 10000 drops of nt Essence aside for the usage of [Soul Reviver]. Since it has a cooldown of 100 years, these 10000 drops of nt Essence could let Ajax revive two souls back to back. ''Anyway, let''s go back and rest for the night.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax floated around his Inner World and observed how all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits were working hard to be powerful, he was satisfied. After that, Ajax left the Inner World and decided to rest for the night. Even though he could cultivate, Ajax didn''t want to disturb the flow of the essence of nature in the Royal City and of course, he could enter the cultivation chambers; however, Ajax decided to take a break from his busy schedule. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, around three hours passed by as Ajax woke up from his sleep when he received a series of system notifications. ''Ding, A thorough analysis of the Waterfire Crystals, Water Crystals, Terrafire Crystals, Earth Crystals, Wind Crystals, and 10 other crystals has beenpleted. ''Ding, As ordered by the host, all the crystals on him have been sessfully merged and diffused into pure Giant Crystals. ''Ding, 1) Giant Water Crystals: 250000. 2) Giant Poison Crystals: 100000. 3) Giant Earth Crystals: 200000. 4) Giant Life Crystals: 100000. 5) Giant Wind Crystals: 100000. 6) Giant Sun Crystals: 100000. 7) Giant Moon Crystals: 100000. 8) Giant Star Crystals: 100000. 9) Giant Jade Crystals: one million. 10) Giant Divine Crystals: 100000. 11) Giant Demon Crystals: one Million. 12) Giant Dark Crystals: 100 Million. 13) Giant Fire Crystals: 100 Million. ''Haha¡­if other cultivators know about the Giant Crystas I have with me, I would be the public enemy number one in the entire Universe.'' Ajaxughed out loud as he continued muttering, ''Moreover, it is just the beginning and once my fourthmission ispleted, I will be doubling or even tripping the quantity of the Giant Crystals I own.'' Chapter 1755 Demonic Absorption ? Among all the Giant Crystals, there were two crystals that Ajax was able to umte 100 million. They are Giant Dark Crystals and the Giant Fire Crystals. The Darkfire Crystals are the most basic and readily avable crystals on the worlds that were on the outskirts of the Dark Region. Even though Ajax could only extract 30 percent of Giant Fire Crystals from them, he was able to extract the 30 percent from Waterfire Crystals, Jadefire Crystals and mixed crystals. ''In the future, for any transaction, I should only use the Giant Fire Crystals or the Giant Dark Crystals.'' When most of the Giant Crystals he had were around 100000, Ajax decided to spend only the Giant Crystals that he had in huge quantities. ''However, it''s too bad that I was unable to get my hands on the rare crystals like nt Crystals, Thunder Crystals, and Death Crystals.'' Looking at the list of the Divine Rules that he awakened, Ajax silently thought to himself. ''Ding, 1) Divine Thunder Rule (10 percent). 2) Divine me Rule (20 percent) (18 percent sealed). 3) Divine Dark Rule (20 percent). 4) Divine Death Rule (1 percent). 5) Divine nt Rule (1 percent). 6) Divine Jade Rule (20 percent). 7) Divine Demon Rule (1 percent) So far, Ajax had awakened seven Divine Rules and he was confident of awakening many more with the help of the Sentient mes. However, he knew that awakening the Divine Rules was not a problem for him; however, the problem is increasing the awakening percentage. ''Anyway, I should continue to work hard and slowly increase the ascending percentage after converting my cultivation.'' Compared to increasing his awakening percentage of the Divine Rules, Ajax had an even bigger issue and it was his cultivation. Without his cultivation, he won''t be able to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules and even if he did, it would be sealed. ''Let''s increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Demon Rule.'' With a thought, Ajax a bunch of Giant Demon Crystals appeared in Ajax''s head which he used on his Divine Demon Rule. ''Ding, The host has used 55 Gian Demon Crystals to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Demon Rule to 20 percent. ''Now, I need to keep an eye on the Giant Crystals that can increase the awakening percentage for Divine Thunder Rule, Divine Death Rule and Divine nt Rule.'' Among the Divine Rules that Ajax awakened, these three were the lowest and at the same time, Ajax didn''t have the Giant Crystals to increase their awakening percentage. ''I can only use the World Cores; however, I don''t want to use the World Cores yet.'' Even though Ajax still has 5 Greater World Cores other than a Divine World Core that he merged, Ajax didn''t want to use the Greater World Cores to increase the awakening percentage. It was because he was worried that he might find the Giant Crystals for those three Divine Rules soon. Moreover, once Ajax sessfully converted his regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation, he wanted to break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm as soon as possible. ''ording to my guess, the next breakthrough also requests at least one Divine World Core. So, I should be prepared for it.'' With multiple reasons in mind, Ajax didn''t take out the Greater World Cores. ''Anyway, let''s see what kind of changes the Divine Demonic Rule has gotten in it.'' Putting aside his thoughts regarding those things, Ajax focused on the Divine Demonic Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Demon (20 percent). Effect: Upon activation of the Divine Demon Rule, the awakener couldmunicate with the Ascended Beings from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Note: The higher the awakening percentage, the stronger the Ascended Demons and more number of Ascended Demons, the awakener couldmunicate with. Skill: Demonic Absorption. Skill Information: By killing others, be it a human, a spirit beast or a demon, the rule awakener can partially absorb the remaining life span. Note: The stronger the killed being, the more lifespan can be absorbed. ''Huh? Communication with the Ascended Demons?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised to see the effect of the Divine Demon Rule as he was not expecting such an effect to appear. If it appeared as a skill, Ajax would have not surprised much; however, it was a basic effect. ''It means that as long as the Demons awaken the Divine Demon Rule, they could directlymunicate with the Ascended Demons.'' Communicating with the Ascended Beings was not easy and at the same time, it was not hard either¡­at least for the descendants of those Ascended Beings. ording to what Ajax learned from Draven, the ascended beings could leave some statues or things with their spirit imprints on them. Once they settled and became powerful enough, they couldmunicate with their descendants using the spirit imprints that they left behind. However, after seeing that the basic effect of the Divine Demon Rule lets the awakenersmunicate with the Ascended Demons, Ajax was shocked. ''Unlike the Human Region and the Dragon Region, the Demon Region was quite weak and in the Golden Demon Territory, no one had awakened the Divine Demon Rule yet.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know much about the previous Great Golden Demon Emperor that was killed by the destruction of a Normal World, he assumed that he had awakened the Divine Demon Rule. ording to Wingo, the previous demon emperor was much more powerful than Wingo and Wingo could be considered invincible among those who were yet to awaken the Divine Rule. So, it would make sense for the previous demon emperor to have a Divine Demon Rule. ''If so, then the other four Greater Demon Emperors will also have awakened the Divine Rules.'' From Wingo, Ajax learned that the Golden Demon Emperor was quite weak among the other Greater Demon Emperors and the only reason why the previous demon emperor was able to keep them in check was because of a Special Mythical Grade Artifact. ''If my guess is correct, the previous Golden Demon Emperor might have received that Special Mythical Grade Artifact from the Ascended Demon.'' Chapter 1756 Obedient Twilight ? In this universe, there were still many secrets and Ajax was slowly learning about them one by one. If the Greater Golden Demon Emperor was able tomunicate with the Ascended demons, considering his age, he must have received a few things whenever someone ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Of course, Ajax believed that the other four Greater Demon Emperors might have also received their own Mythical Grade Treasures from the Ascended Demons; however, there was a small chance that the Greater Golden Demon Emperor''s treasure might be powerful. Moreover, just like the other ascended beings, the ascended demons must have ordered their descendants not to fight one another and stay united. ''No matter whose orders it is, eventually, they would fight with one another for power and control over more regions.'' Ajax shook his head and wanted to use the [Divine Demon Rule] to see whether he couldmunicate with any Ascended Demons. ''Since I have another Divine Rule, using it won''t make much difference.'' For normal cultivators, their Divine Rules should not be in a cooldown; however, for Ajax, it doesn''t matter as he has other Divine Rules to protect himself. ''Or will it create a problem if I activate the Divine Demon Rule in this world?'' Just as Ajax was about to activate the Divine Demon Rule, he suddenly felt that he should not activate it. ''I will just activate it when I go and meet Wingo.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to activate it when he entered the Golden Demon Territory. ''For now, let''s just rest.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax went to rest. ¡­. In the evening of the Next day, The Jade Dragon Emperor has finished registering Twilight as one of the participants in the Trial of the Divine Dragons. Since Twilight met all the requirements, there was no issue in registering him. "Ajax, the trial will start tomorrow and we can watch it from here." Draven informed Ajax about how they could watch the trial by staying in the Greater Jade Dragon World, making Ajax nod his head in understanding. "Also, if you don''t want to watch the trial and want to cultivate, I will give you ess to enter my Cultivation Chamber. Are you interested in cultivating it?" At the same time, the Jade Emperor informed Ajax about the cultivation chamber. "Hm" Ajax didn''t answer because he wanted to watch the trial to see how Twilight will do in it and at the same time, he was tempted to enter Draven''s Cultivator Chamber because Ajax knew it would be a special one. Since there were still 10 days for him to enter the Floating Ind, Ajax thought that he could stay in the Special Cultivator Chamber to increase his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. ''Moreover, now, I have the Jade Bracelet and even the Divine Jade Rule that could boost up my cultivation speed to the next level.'' If Ajax seriously cultivates for the next 10 days, he is confident in increasing his Divine Spirit Consciousness to 10000 units of capacity with all the cultivation boosts and resources. "If you are worried about Twilight''s safety, don''t worry, nothing will happen to him." The Jade Dragon Emperor could clearly see on Ajax''s face that he was worried about Twilight''s safety. Hence, he assured Ajax, "There will be a group of peak emperor realm dragons in all the trial worlds. There is an irond rule for the Trial of the Divine Dragons, in our Dragonheart Society that nothing should happen to the young divine dragons." "With his strength, he could sweep all the Darkfire Wraiths in the trial worlds and get first ce. So, you should focus on cultivating." Even though Ajax was young and had already be an Emperor Realm Cultivator, Draven wanted Ajax to continue to focus more on cultivation because the more powerful Ajax became, the safer his child would be. However, what he didn''t know was that Ajax''s way of bing stronger and increasing his cultivation waspletely different from the regr cultivators. Anyway, Ajax didn''t bother to exin his cultivation path and decided to use the Special Cultivation Chamber to increase his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. "Uncle Draven, I will cultivate for the next few days and if you can find the ingredients for the Heaven''s Mandate pill, just inform me. I will refine them for you." Since Ajax didn''t have to worry about Twilight anymore, Ajax decided to use this time to focus on increasing his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. At the same time, Ajax reminded them that he could refine the Heaven''s Mandate Pills for them at any time. "Sure¡­sure." Draven was satisfied with Ajax''s words as he personally guided Ajax into a special cultivation chamber. "Twilight, don''t annoy Uncle Draven." Ajax knew how yful Twilight could be and warned not to make things difficult for Draven and at the same time, he silently transmitted his voice, ''If you get the first ce in the Trial of the Divine Dragons, I will bring you to the Dark Region and let you wreak havoc in those Dark Worlds after we return from the Floating Ind and Celestial Dawn Realm.'' As long as things go as he nned, Ajax would be more powerful and it was the same for his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. Then, Ajax could enter the Dark Region¡­of course, only the outskirts of the Dark Region to improve his battle prowess of his summons and at the same time, to collect the Dark World Cores and the Crystals. "Brother Ajax, don''t worry. I will be obedient like always." Twilight revealed an excited smile on his face when he heard Ajax''s promise and assured Ajax. As a Twilight Destructive Dragon, its innate nature was to destroy and kill as much as possible and get pleasure from it. So, of course, Twilight could not miss such a reward. "Huh?" However, hearing Twilight''s words, Ajax didn''t feel assurance as he asked, "Will you be obedient or will you be like your usual self? Tell me only one thing and don''tbine them because both are not the same." Chapter 1757 [Bonus chapter] Ryder: The Blood Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1757 [Bonus chapter] Ryder: The Blood Dragon Emperor

After giving Twilight''s responsibility to the Jade Dragon Emperor, Ajax entered the Special Cultivation Chamber that was only used by the Jade Dragon Emperor. Since Draven had already triggered the Lightning Tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he no longer needed to cultivate in this realm. Hence, he allowed Ajax to use it not only for now but also in the future after he ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. ¡­ In the Special Cultivation Chamber, The Cultivation Chamber looked like any other cultivation chamber that Ajax previously entered with minute changes. However, Ajax noticed something in this Special Cultivation Chamber and it has three Giant Jade Crystals that are embedded in the ten slots around the cultivation b on which a cultivator was supposed to sit. ''It looks like this Cultivation Chamber works on the Giant Jade Crystals. No one, it is only used by Uncle Draven.'' Looking at the 10 Giant Jade Crystals around the cultivation b, Ajax could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face. Even though the Giant Crystals are extremely useful in increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule, by using different sets of conversion arrays, the energy from the Giant Crystals could be used for cultivation. ''In the future, I can continue to use this Special Cultivation Chamber and whenever I am busy, I will let others use this.'' Since there was no shortage of Giant Crystals for Ajax, he decided to make full use of the Special Cultivation Chamber. ''Let''s begin the cultivation session.'' After settling himself and his thoughts, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he circted his God-level Cultivation Technique. [Dragon-Soaring Nine Heavens] ''Swoosh'' As soon as he started circting the cultivation technique, the 10 Giant Crystals around the cultivation b shone with a bright light and at the same time, Ajax felt his body devouring the essence of nature around him at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host has started cultivating and triggered the effect of the [Jade Bracelet]. ''Ding, Adding to the 100 times cultivation speed from the Special Cultivation Chamber, the host''s cultivation speed will be increased by 1000 times. Soon, two system notifications resounded in Ajax''s head; however, he didn''t check them as he focused on his cultivation. If he checked his current cultivation speed, Ajax could have been shocked because 1000 times could be considered a Heaven-defying speed. Previously, when he entered the top-notch cultivation chamber, Ajax''s cultivation speed had been increased only by 10 times; however, the cultivation boost provided by the Special Cultivation Chamber was 100 times. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''What? 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Unlike before, Ajax checked the cultivation speed and became extremely shocked. By stacking two effects, Ajax was already able to fill his 92 percent of Divine Spirit Consciousness in a single minute. Soon, the shock turned into excitement as hepletely focused on his cultivation after speeding 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature to increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Ding, The host used 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity by 10 units. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] Ajax didn''t waste his time anymore as he decided to increase his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' Capacity to 10000 units by the time Twilight finishes his trial. ¡­. In the Greater Blood Dragon World, "Little Ryan, with your strength, it will be a piece of cake to get first ce." An old man with blood-red-coloured horns on his head said to a young man in his twenties. "Grandpa, the opponent from the Greater Lightning Dragon World seems quite powerful. So, I don''t have to waste a single minute in my training." The young named Ryan had a look of determination as he replied to his grandfather. "Haha¡­Little Ryan, you are underestimating yourself here. He might be a good opponent for you; however, once you activate your bloodline, he has to bow your head." The old man was not only the Emperor of the Greater Blood Dragon World but was also the current leader of the Dragonheart Society. Moreover, for the current Trial of the Divine Dragons, he had given away the Divine Dragon Fruit which was quite rare. Even though it was borne once a 1000 years for the Divine Dragon Tree, the Divine Dragon Tree was a Divine Grade Tree and there were no such trees in the universe. As for how Ryder, the Blood Dragon Emperor got his hands on this fruit was from his ancestor who had ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "I know that if I activate my bloodline, no dragon in this world will be a match for me; however, I want to exert myself and get the first ce without using it." For the young dragons like Ryan who had powerful and rich parents and grandparents, it was very hard to see such behaviour. So, everyone in the family loves Ryan and has ced high hopes for his future. As for the Trial of the Divine Dragon, they have already concluded that Ryan won first ce. Of course, Ryan didn''t think like that; instead, he wanted to increase the difficulty of the Trial of the Divine Dragons on his own. ''If the Trial is easy, make it difficult and pull it off and then call it an achievement.'' This was what Ryan believed in and didn''t want to take everything he got for granted and wanted to prove to everyone that even without his bloodline, he could get first ce in the trial. "Do as you wish." Ryder was happy with Ryan''s ideals; however, at the same time, he was worried that these kinds of ideals might be obstructions for his future path of cultivation." "Also, the Jade Dragon Emperor, your Uncle Draven will be ascending soon, if possible help the participant from the Greater Jade Dragon World a little to make your Uncle Draven happy." "Of course. I will take care of him." Ryan nodded his head and started practising his skills and cultivation techniques. Chapter 1758 Insane Cultivation Speed In the Special Cultivation Chamber, Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host used 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity by 10 units. . . . . . Ajax was fully focused on his cultivation as he cultivated for a minute and in the next second, he used those 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature to upgrade the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. In an hour, Ajax roughly increased the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by 550 units and even though his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity reached 2000 units after one and a half an hour, Ajax continued to follow the same pattern. One minute for cultivation, +1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Three seconds for consumption, +10 units of capacity increase in the Divine Spirit Consciousness. Time continued to pass and in a sh more than 16 hours passed by as Ajax heaved revealing an excited smile on his face when he saw thest set of system notifications. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host used 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity by 10 units. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0 / 10000 units. The reason why Ajax was excited is that his Divine Spirit Consciousness had finally reached a capacity of 10000 units. Moreover, he was waiting to try out something for this moment. Therefore, he became excited to see the 10000 units of capacity. ''Let''s try it.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax muttered, ''Divine Jade Rule, activate.'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Ajax felt he became 10 times more powerful; however, he didn''t activate the Divine Jade Rule to experience his power; instead, he had something else to try. [Divine Jade Rule - Jade Energy Burst] In the next second, Ajax activates the skill under the [Divine Jade Rule] to increase his cultivation speed to the next level. ''Ding, The host has activated the skill [Jade Energy Burst] and his cultivation speed will be increased by 10 times. ''Ding, Adding to the previous effect of 1000 times, the new cultivation speed for the host is 10000 times for the next five minutes. Note: The skill [Jade Energy Burst] will be active for only five minutes with a cooldown of five minutes. Soon, the system exined the changes in Ajax''s cultivation speed, making Ajax clench his fists in excitement as he circted his God-level Cultivation Technique with full focus. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''All I need to do is cultivate for a minute and my Divine Spirit Consciousness will be filled.'' How could Ajax not be excited to fill his entire Divine Spirit Consciousness in a single minute? Moreover, it no longer has a capacity of 100 units; instead, it has a capacity of 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Upgrade the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax knew that he didn''t have much time to waste as his [Jade Energy Burst] won''tst more than five minutes. Therefore, he directly ordered the system to use the 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature to increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. At the same time, Ajax started circting his cultivation technique. ''Ding, The host used 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity by 100 units. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host used 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity by 100 units. . . . Time passed by and in a sh, five minutes passed by as Ajax earned nearly 50000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by 500 units. As for the 10 times boost from the [Jade Energy Burst] disappeared and Ajax needed to wait for another five minutes before using it again. ''Earlier, it took an entire hour to increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness by 550 units and during the [Jade Energy Burst], it only took five minutes to increase it by 500 units.'' Ajax could not help but wanted to increase the duration of the skill; however, he knew that there won''t be any changes until he increased the awakening percentage of the Divine Jade Rule. Also, even though he could also use the skill many times if the duration of the Divine Jade Rule was higher; however, it was also rted to the awakening percentage. Hence, Ajax could only patiently wait until he found a Divine Grade Fruit to convert his spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Anyway, I can activate the skill again after five minutes.'' Ajax was not lost in his thoughts for long before focusing on his cultivation as he slowly umted 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and used it to increase the capacity. Even though the skill cooldown was only five minutes, Ajax decided to use thest five minutes for which his Divine Jade Rule would stay activated. +100 units of increase in the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. [Jade Energy Burst] Ajax didn''t bother to check the increase in the capacity of the Divine Spirit Conscousiouness as he repeated the process and in the next five minutes, Ajax increased the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness by another 500 units. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0 / 11100 units. ''It''s good. In less than a day, I was able to increase the capacity by 10000 units.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and he started nning for the next week. ''Even though I was able to make use of the Divine Jade Rule, I can''t use it for another month.'' Ajax silently muttered, ''Anyway, if I fully dedicate my time to the cultivation, I can easily increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness by 14000 units per day.'' Chapter 1759 Goal: 100000 Units Of Capacity ? As long as Ajax cultivated in the Special Cultivation Chamber, he could receive 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature per minute and for a whole day, he could get 1400000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature excluding the time he use them to increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. With 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, he could increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by one unit and with 1.4 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature, he could increase it by 14000 units without any problem. ''If I do that for the next eight days, I can increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness by more than 110000 units and adding to my current capacity, it would reach 120000 units easily.'' Just thinking about having the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness over 100000 units made Ajax excited. If he could have such a huge capacity of Divine Spirit Consciousness, he could temper his body with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature in no time. Therefore, he was obviously excited and looking forward to the ninth day from now on. ¡­. As Ajax was busy in the special cultivation chamber, time passed by quickly as the day of the Trial of the Divine Dragons had finallye. "Twilight, are you ready?" Since Twilight was representing the Greater Jade Dragon World, the Jade Dragon Emperor was also excited about it as he asked Twilight. Before he ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Draven to see his Greater Jade Dragon World get first ce in the Trial of the Divine Dragons. "I am ready, Uncle Draven." Since Twilight calls Ajax''s brother, he followed Ajax and called the Jade Dragon Emperor, Uncle Draven. "By the time you open your eyes, you will be in one of the Normal Dark Worlds and I suggest you stay calm and listen to the instructions you will receive." "During the trial, what you have to do will be exined to you. So, as long as you remain calm, with your strength, you can easily get a good ranking." While he saw sending Twilight to participate in the trial, Draven exined some general tips that all the participants would receive from their backers. Since Twilight backed him, it was Draven''s duty to exin. "Thanks for the tips, Uncle Draven." Even though Twilight won''t be very obedient in the absence of Ajax, he waspletely obedient now. Moreover, he attentively listened to the Jade Dragon Emperor''s words and at the end, he even thanked Draven for his instructions. "Little Brother Twilight, all the best. Win the first ce and Brother Ajax would be happy." From the side, the Jade Dragonling Jaed cheered Twilight from the bottom of his heart. Jade Dragonling was happy whenever he saw Twilight because he got a good little brother and became a big brother to someone. As for his little brother being more powerful than him, it didn''t bother Jade at all as he knew it would be a matter of time before he would break through to the Emperor and awaken the Divine Rules. Compared topeting with Twilight, Jaed was more focused on awakening the Divine Jade Rule and increasing its awakening percentage to 100 percent to trigger the Lightning Tribtion. In short, Jaed had set a goal of meeting his parents in less than 100 years and if possible, only 50 years. Even though he was in a hurry, Jade knew that he had to be careful while undergoing the Lightning Tribtion before ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm and even the slightest mistake would send him to hell; instead of going to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "I will win first ce in the trial of the Divine Dragons and bring fame to the Greater Jade Dragon World before you officially inherit it." Even though he wanted to argue with Jaed and be the big brother to him, remembering Ajax''s words, Twilight decided to let it go and Twilight replied to Jaed with a slight smile. Soon, the Jade Dragon Emperor activated the Teleportation Circle in his world and sent Twilight into it alone. "Father, what ce do you think Little Brother Twilight will get in the trial?" After sending Twilight, Jaed curiously asked about Twilight''s estimated ranking in the trial. With his father''s status, Jaed knew that he could get information on all the candidates in the trial and could guess who has a high chance of winning the trial. "He will be definitely within the top 5 and if not for the Blood Dragon World''s genius, Ryan, and the Lightning Dragon World''s genius, Lynn, I could have guaranteed that he would get first rank." Draven shook his head as he exined more, "Moreover, I heard an interesting rumour regarding the participants of this time''s trial." "A rumour?" Jaed didn''t expect his father to say that Twilight would be in the top 5 because he knew some of the participants and how powerful they were. Of course, Jaed didn''t know that Twilight had awakened the Divine Dark Rule and if he had known, he would have been shocked as to why his father was expecting Twilight to have such a low ranking. Moreover, what piqued his interest was the rumour regarding the participants in the trial. So, he asked his father about it. "I don''t know how much truth there is in this rumour, but I feel it waspletely true." After giving his thoughts on the rumour, Draven said the content of the rumour, "Among the 10 participants, excluding Twilight, half of them had awakened their Divine Rules. So, it was true, it would be really difficult for Twilight to enter the top 5 but as long as he remains calm and with a bit of luck, he would be able to enter the top 3." "What? Half of the participants awakened their Divine Rules on their own?" Jaed was shocked as he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Among these participants who awakened Divine Rules, does it include Brother Ryan and Brother Lynn?" Chapter 1760 [Bonus ] Beginning Of The Trial ? Even though the Trial of the Divine Dragon was conducted every year, it was considered one of the most important trials in the Dragon Region because the winner of the trial would get lots of good cultivation resources. As an important trial, there were many rules in the trial and one of them was that the participants of the trial should not awaken the Divine Rule using the Sentient mes. It might be difficult for the other outsider; however, as the participants selected by the emperors of the Greater Dragon Worlds that host the Sentient mes, it was a piece of cake for them to enter the me Chamber and awaken the Divine Rules with the help of the Sentient mes. This method of awakening the Divine Rules is considered an Easy Power-Ups. Since the trial was to test the strength and talent of the Divine Dragon, awakening the Divine Rules by this so-called Easy Power-Up would go against the inner meaning of the trial. However, the members of the Dragonheart Society added such a rule that no participant in the trial should do an Easy Power-Up and if caught doing so, the backer of those participants would be banned from sending the participants for the next 100 years. Of course, if the participant can awaken the Divine Rule on his own, it was considered his talent and luck and thus, it was allowed. When Draven learned that Twilight awakened the Divine Dark Rule, he was excited and confident that Twilight would get the first ce; however, when the details of the participants were finalized yesterday night, Draven shook his head. Nevertheless, he was already happy that the participant he had chosen would end up in the top 5 in this time''s trial which was considered the most difficult trial of the Divine Dragons in thest one hundred years. "Yes, both Ryan and Lynn have awakened the Divine Rules and they even have powerful bloodlines. If nothing unexpected happens, they will take the top 2 ces." Ryan, Lynn, and Jaed were all in the same generation and considered Dragon Geniuses in the Dragon Region. However, Jaed, to stop his parents from ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, stops cultivating for a while whereas Ryan and Lynn surpassed him and be more powerful. Now, they even awakened the Divine Rules, leaving Jaed far behind them. "Are you regretting your decision?" After thinking for a moment, the Jade Dragon Emperor asked Jaed in a calm tone. "No¡­I don''t regret stopping cultivating." Jaed shook his head as he replied with a slight smile on his face; instead, he said, "However, I do regret to hold you and Mother back from ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm." After learning about how their parents'' souls would be destroyed if they don''t put effort into ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm and how it would have benefited his parents if they ascended sooner. The Jade Dragon Emperor informed that the sooner one ascends to the Heavenly Realms, the more benefits they would get and because of their son, the Jade Dragon Emperor and the Empress waited a few hundred years if not a thousand years. "It''s alright! Thanks to you, we got enough time to prepare for our breakthrough." Draven revealed a slight smile on his face as he patted his son''s head before going back to their pce. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they returned, a huge circr mirror was hovering in the hall that was filled with the top-level management of the Greater Jade Dragon World. There were 10 prime ministers and dozens of elders and hundreds of protectors that serve the royal family and won''t hesitate to give their lives for the royal family, standing in the hall. "Everyone, sit down. The trial is about to begin. Let''s watch it together." The royal families in the Dragon worlds were different and once they swore their loyalty to the royal family, they wouldn''t go against it. It was itched in their bloodlines and bodies and the moment they go against it, their own bloodlines would self-destruct, killing them on the spot. It was simr to an evolution that the dragons had developed and that''s the reason why all the royal families in the Dragon Worlds were maintaining the power. As for the worlds in the human world, even though there are still many royal families, their power won''t beparable to the sect and they were willing to send their descendants to the sect so that they could be more powerful and respected. Moreover, there were a few Emperors in these royal families belonging to the Dragon Worlds who would be magnanimous with their servants and those who swore their loyalty to them. Of course, many Emperors used the bloodline suppression that was developed between the Royal Family Members and the Protector Family Members to their advantage and didn''t give much respect to those protectors and servants. Anyway, Draven falls under the category of Emperors who don''t abuse and are cruel to his subordinates and reward them equally depending on their contributions. Also, during every Trial of the Divine Dragons, Draven watches the trial with all the dragons that were in important positions and contribute to the world with their efforts. ¡­. In one of the Normal Dark Worlds, ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Various portals opened on the Normal Dark World as young Divine Dragons who were in human forms walked out of the portals. If someone sees them, they won''t believe that they were not humans but Divine Dragons because they were all born to the dragons whose ancestors hadpleted their re-cultivation. Of course, except for Twilight, everyone was born in the perfect human form and they could transform into their Dragon Form if they needed to. As for Twilight, he was the youngest divine dragon among them because it hasn''t been even 5 years since Twilight hatched from the egg and he was already on par with them. "Everyone, the rules for this Trial of the Divine Dragons are:" Chapter 1761 Inspector Ghost Dragon ? 10 young men around the age of 15-25 years old looked at each other as soon as they walked out of the portal. They were curious about their fellow participants as they tried to take a quick scan regarding the cultivation and the strength of others. Twilight was also the same as he checked out of the other participants and he felt a deep sense of danger from one participant and there was another participant that piqued his attention. One was wearing red-coloured clothes and standing with a calm look on his face without bothering to check the other participants. As for the other one, he was wearing a purple-blue mixed-colour armour from shoulder to toe. Unlike the other participants who were checking all the participants, his eyes were solely on the young man who was wearing the red-coloured clothes. ''It looks like I should be careful with that red-clothed young man and as for this armoured dragon, he might also pose a little danger to me.'' Twilight silently noted in his head regarding the two potential participants that could stop him from getting first ce. "Everyone, the rules for this Trial of the Divine Dragons are:" As everyone was checking out one another, they suddenly heard a voice resound from all directions. "1) No Killing is allowed amongst the participants. Even if they were to fight with one another, they would be eliminated from the trial." "2) If you have awakened the Divine Rule with the help of the Sentient me, just say it now; otherwise, your backer will be banned from participating in the Trial of the Divine Dragons for the next 100 years." As saying two rules, the voice paused for a moment to see whether any participant woulde forward; however, none came forward. "As for thest rule, no participant is allowed to use any external sources of powers like weapons, or pills that temporarily boost their strength. If you use them, you will be eliminated instantly." Soon, the rules of the Trial of the Divine Dragons were exined to the participants, making the participants nod their heads. "Since the rules of the trial are exined, it is time to exin what you have to do during the trial; however, before that, a few Dragon Emperors are urging us to do something. Please close your eyes and don''t open no matter what happens." Just when the participants thought that they could hear about the trial of the Divine Dragons, they were asked to close their eyes, making them a little disappointed. However, they still followed withoutining because the Trial of the Divine Dragons was not a joke and the moment theyined about anything, they would be eliminated without any mercy. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they closed their eyes, a huge portal opened and a ghostly figure flew out of the portal. It was a huge dragon with its entire body transparent; however, it was not the same transparency as the Elemental Spirits. Instead, it was like a Ghost''s transparency. ''Swoosh'' The moment it flew out, it looked at the 10 young men who closed their eyes with an excited look in its eyes. ''I hope at least one of them opens their eyes¡­keke.'' The Inspector Ghost Dragon silently hoped and evilly chuckled in its heart and started flying through one participant after another. Even though it could get the process done in a short time, the Ghost Dragon intentionally dyed the process because it was hoping to eat at least one of the participants. Time continued to pass and the Ghost Dragon took a total of 10 minutes just to pass through the bodies of the 10 participants. ''Sigh¡­it looks like this batch of participants looks quite sincere, unlike the previous batch.'' With a disappointed look in its eyes, the Ghost Dragon returned to the portal that he came from. It was disappointing for the Ghost Dragon because ording to the contract between the Ghost Dragon and the members of the Dragonheart Society when it was checking whether any of the participants awakened the Divine Rules using the Sentient mes opened their eyes, he would be paid one Giant Crystal. Moreover, if it could find anyone who awakened the Divine Rule with the help of the Sentient me, it would be rewarded with 100 Giant Crystals. Before returning to the portal, the Ghost Dragon looked at the ck sky in the Normal Dark World and shook its head. "The Ghost Dragon has given you its green signal regarding your Divine Rules. Whoever among the participants awakened the Divine Rules, they awakened it on their own without the help of the Sentient mes¡­Congrattions." After the Ghost Dragon entered the portal, the familiar ancient voice resounded in all directions as it congratted the participants who awakened their Divine Rules. As for how many participants awakened the Divine Rules, no one excluding the Ghost Dragon knows; however, the Ghost Dragon is not supposed to tell them. ''Phew'' Hearing those words, two young men heaved a sigh of relief as they looked at each other and smiled. "Since there is no one who is cheating in this Trial of the Divine Dragons, it is time to learn what you will be doing in the trial." The Voice paused for a moment and started exining, "Just like the previous trials of the Divine Dragons, the soul of the trial didn''t change and it was none other than collecting the Darkfire Crystals from the Darkfire Wraiths." "However, unlike the previous trials, there were some modifications in the trial. So, from now on, please listen carefully as I won''t be exining it once again." The Voice asked for their attention before saying the changes in this time''s Trial of the Divine Dragons. "Once a participant collects 1000 low-level Darkfire crystals, they could exchange them to gain ess to any of the 14 other Normal Dark Worlds." "The second modification in the trial is allowing a participant to challenge one of his fellow participants and all he has to do is to find a Divine Dragon g." Chapter 1762 Trial Of The Divine Dragons ? One of the rules in the Trial of the Divine Dragon states that the participants were not allowed to even fight one another; however, if they could find the Divine Dragon gs that were ced somewhere in the Normal Dark Worlds, they could challenge one of the participants. "There are a total of 15 Normal Dark Worlds allocated for this trial and each Normal Dark World has a Divine Dragon g. So, as long as you find it, you can fight the participants who want." The voice exined more about the second modification of the Trial of the Divine Dragons as he continued, "The winner of the fight will get all the crystals collected by the losing participant. As for the losing participant, he could either continue to be in the Trial or he could just give up and return to his world with the return scroll." Since the Trial of the Divine Dragons wouldst for a total of seven days, even if a participant lost a duel, he could still have a chance of getting a good ce by collecting enough crystals. So, there was no such rule that losing a duel would make the participant eliminated from the trial. If he wants to continue with the trial, the participant could do that. "Other than the Divine Dragon gs, there is one mythical grade treasure for every Normal Dark World. Whoever finds them, the treasure would be his." The participants were already excited with the Divine Dragon gs because they could find one another; however, now, there were mythical grade treasures in the world, making them even more excited. "You must only store the Darkfire Crystals you collect in the rings you have received from your backers and by doing so, your scores can be calcted at the end of each day." The Voice gave one final order before saying, "Now, let''s begin the trial." ''Swoosh'' As soon as they heard that the trial had started, all the participants became excited and without wasting any time, they chose a direction and hurriedly moved in that direction. ''I have to collect 1000 low-level crystals and get ess to the other world.'' Half of the participants were thinking of killing 1000 low-level Darkfire Wraiths and using the 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals from them to enter the other Normal Dark World. By doing so, thepetition in collecting the low-level Darkfire Crystals, Treasure and the Divine Dragon g would go down by a lot. ording to the rules, by using the 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals, the participant could enter a random Normal Dark World that was chosen for the Trial. So, even if all 10 participants were to use this method to enter the different Normal Dark Worlds, there was no way all of them would be teleported to the same Normal Dark Worlds. ''Let''s find the Divine Dragon g.'' However, there were a few young men whose main goal was not the treasure or the low-level crystals but the Divine Dragon g. Among them, Twilight was also one as his eyes shone with excitement when he thought about fighting a fellow Divine Dragon that had the same cultivation as him. Even though Twilight has fought many battles and killed many beasts and demons, he was still excited a lot for the fight with the Divine Dragons because he had never fought with his fellow Divine Dragons. ¡­. ''It looks like Ryder and Nimbus made all these changes for their great-grandsons. The first and second ce will be taken by them.'' ''I hope my participant will be within the top 5.'' ''Even though the trial of the Divine Dragons has been changed, it''s alright! In the next trial, I can add some changes that give my participants some advantage.'' Just as the trial began, all the emperors who were watching the trial through the mirrors were projecting everything that was happening in the Normal Dark World. "Let''s watch Twilight." During the trial, all the emperors backing the participant would watch only one participant at a time and everyone wanted to see how their participant was doing in the trial. Thus, almost all the emperors watched their participants including the Jade Dragon Emperor and some emperors like Blood Dragon Emperor, Ryder and Lightning Dragon Emperor Lynn, watched the other participants. These two dragon emperors had sent their blood to participants in the trial and they were fully confident in their strength. So, they wanted to find out if any other powerful participants could rival their great-grandson. Eventually, their mirrors fixed on Ryan and Lynnx and of course, they were not watching their grandsons; instead, they were watching each others'' grandsons as they would pose a threat to one another. ¡­ In front of the Trader''s Realm''s Exclusive Projection Hall, "Hello, everyone. As you already know, the Celestial Dawn Sect has bought the exclusive rights for screening the Trial of the Divine Dragons." The Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect, Theron greeted everyone in the hall as he informed everyone, "The ticket to watch the trial of the Divine Dragons will be one billion trader''s tokens like I informed you a few days back." It was the first time that the humans were able to get ess to watching something that was rted to the Dragons and what''s more, it was a legendary event which they heard many times. Hence, Theorn decided to make use of this chance to earn some quick money and at the same time, let the humans show how powerful his sect has be and that they were even capable of dealing with the Dragonheart Society. "Those who are willing to watch, can pay the ticket fee and enter the Projection Hall. The trial of the Divine Dragons has just started. Hurry up and enter." Of course, only the top-level sect leaders and elders with a limited quota per sect were allowed to watch that and whatever they were witnessing in the Projection Hall can''t be divulged for the next 100 years. Chapter 1763 [Bonus ] Trial Of The Divine Dragons (2) ? There was a reason why the Dragon Region was considered Mysterious because nobody really knows what goes on inside. Even though many of the Dragon Worlds have contact with the Humans and have evenpleted some trade, the Dragon World tried their best to maintain secrecy. However, times were changing as the Dragon Region stopped worrying about the humans taking over their worlds andpared to the humans, they have many ascended ancestors. So, with more ascended ancestors, they would get more rewards from the Heavenly Bestial Realms and the quicker they could be stronger. Even if there were an all-out war between the entire Human Region and the Dragon Region, the Dragon Region would easily win by a huge margin and thanks to being secretive for more than a millennium, helped them be more powerful. However, the Celestial Dawn Sect''s leader had thought of an interesting idea and decided to make a deal with the Dragonheart Society as long as they let him and 100 human cultivators regarding their uing trial. At first, the Dragonheart Society members didn''t agree to Theoron''s request; however, he offered a 20 percent discount on all their tickets for the Celestial Dawn Realm¡­of course, they were not allowed to sell those tickets to the dragons that don''t belong to the Dragonheart Society''s worlds. Hearing that, more than half of the Dragonheart Society''s members agreed to give the Celestial Dawn Sect Leader a mirror to let them watch the Trial of the Divine Dragons because they would be saving lots of money with the 20 percent discount on all their tickets. At the same time, they added a condition that these 100 powerful cultivators were not allowed to divulge the things they wanted during the Trial of the Divine Dragons for the next 100 years. For these powerful cultivators, 100 years would be passed in a sh and thus, Theoron readily agreed to their request. As for the Dragonheart Society, within 100 years, they knew there would be a lot of changes in the Dragon Region and even in their Dragonheart Society. Moreover, within the next 100 years, they believed that more than half of the participants in the current Trial of the Divine Dragons would definitely trigger the Lightning Tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Among the 100 avable slots, the Celestial Dawn Sect will be taking 20 slots and as for the remaining 80 slots, each slot costs one pure Giant Crystal. Come quick and buy them." Even though Theoron gave a 20 percent discount to the Dragonheart Society members in purchasing tickets into the Celestial Dawn Realm for their worlds, he was not worried too much about it. Moreover, with 80 Pure Giant Crystals, he could recover some of the discounted money. All the tickets for the Celestial Dawn Realm were free for the Celestial Dawn Sect. So, there was no real loss for Theoron when it came to giving discounts to the Dragon Emperors because their prices were already 10 times higher than the Human Emperors. In no time, the remaining top 4 sect leaders bought 15 tickets each and the sects with a ranking from 6 to 10 bought the remaining 20 tickets and curiously entered the Projection Hall. ''I heard all the participants in this trial are Divine Dragons.'' ''I heard that too; however, we are unable to tell whether they were really the Divine Dragons or not by looking in this mirror.'' . . The human powerhouses saw the different participants because the mirror randomly showed participants for a few minutes before following other participants. However, the human powerhouses didn''tin about it because they got to see all ten participants in the trial in no time as they watched how the young dragons killed the low-level Darkfire Wraiths. At the same time, they enjoyed watching them fight as they started learning more about the dragons and the dragon region while silently discussing among themselves. ¡­ While everyone was interestingly watching the Trial of the Divine Dragons, Ajax was cultivating with full focus, trying to increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness by as much as possible. If he had known that other participants awakened the Divine Rules, Ajax didn''t know whether he could have peacefully cultivated in the Special Cultivation Chamber. Since he was oblivious to those things, he was fully focused on improving his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ¡­. In the Normal Dark World, [Soul Split] A young man sat cross-legged as a huge blue-coloured dragon soul came out of his body and divided into 10 smaller blue-coloured dragons before going in a different direction. Each one of these smaller dragon souls was able to kill a group of low-level Darkfire Wraiths with ease and collected the Darkfire Crystals on the ground. He was a participant chosen by the Soul Dragon Emperor as his ten smaller soul dragons farmed the Darkfire Wraiths at a good pace. [Icicle Arrows] Another participant had Ice Wings on his face and wherever he saw a group of low-level Darkfire Wraiths, he would use one of his attacks to kill all of them in a single attack. [Firestorm] A participant chosen by Prince Dakon, the Stormfire Wyvern Emperor was also doing good; however,pared to the Soul Dragonling, and Frost Dragonling, his output was a little low. He was not the only one with a low-level output, there were a few other participants like Primordial Dragonling, Forest Dragonling and Poison Dragonling. Even though they were powerful, when it came to killing the low-level Darkfire Wraiths, their efficiency was not good as they had to kill each Darkfire Wraith with one of their attacks, unlike the other participants who were able to kill a bunch of Darkfire Wraiths in a single attack. As for the full efficiency in killing the Darkfire Wraith, there were three participants. They were Blood Dragonling, Ryan, Lightning Dragonling Lynn and Twilight Dragonling, Twilight. Even when they were a few kilometers away from a group of low-level Darkfire Wraiths, they were able to use their long-range attacks to instantly kill them all before collecting the crystals. So, they were in the lead and of course, they were not focused on the ranking¡­at least for now. Chapter 1764 Trial Of The Divine Dragons (3) ? The thing they were searching for was none other than the Divine Dragon g. Even though finding the Divine Dragon g in the very beginning won''t be that beneficial because the participants won''t be collecting that many Darkfire Crystals. However, these three participants including Twilight were battle breaks and they wanted to fight someone as soon as possible. Along the way, they killed all the low-level Darfire Wraiths. So, it didn''t make much of a difference for thempared to the other participants. Nevertheless, thanks to their long-range attacking skills, they were able to kill many Darkfire Wraiths and by now, each one of these three participants had already collected more than 100 low-level Darkfire Crystals. As for the other participants, they collected less than 50 low-level Darkfire Crystals and there were even two participants who collected only 10 low-level Darfire Crystals. The problem here was not their battle prowess; instead, the number of the low-level Darkfire Wraiths. Moreover, the participants like Twilight and others were a little quick with their kills, making the other participants either change their direction or run further to find some low-level Darkfire Wraiths. Time continued to pass and it took more than three hours before the three participants Twilight, Ryan and Lynn collected 1000 low-level crystals each; however, they didn''t use those crystals to teleport to another Normal Dark World. Since their goal was to find the Divine Dragon g that was in the world, they wanted to find it. By now, they must have covered at least 10 percent of the entire Normal Dark World in three different directions and the other participants must have also covered at least 20 percent of the world. Since all the participants have covered 50 percent of the entire world, their chances of finding the Divine Dragon g in this world were much higher than in apletely new world. ''Even though we don''t have anypletion in the new world I teleport to, I can do that even after finding the Divine Dragon g.'' Ryan, Lynn and even Twilight had the same line of thoughts as they continued their search. [Void Dragonling has spent 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals and randomly teleported to one of the remaining 14 Normal Dark Worlds] After another hour passed, all the participants heard the familiar voice that exined their rule regarding the Trial of the Divine Dragons, informing everyone about the participant backed by the Void Dragon Emperor. However, it didn''t surprise them much as they resumed their farming of the low-level crystals. [Frost Dragonling has spent¡­] [Soul Dragonling has spent¡­] Soon, another two participants left the current Normal Dark World before someone found the Divine Dragon g and the treasure in the world at the same time. [The Primordial Dragonling has found the Divine Dragon g. He can challenge any of the participants by the end of the first day; otherwise, he would be randomly matched with someone and the duel will happen] [The Stormfire Wyvernling has found the Special Mythical Grade Treasure: Eternal World Fruit. If someone challenges him and wins the duel against him, he could not only get all the Darkfire Crystals the Stormfire Wyvernling has but he would also get the treasure] ''Huh? Someone found the Divine Dragon g?'' Hearing those announcements, the three Dragon Freaks stopped their search for the Divine Dragon g and directly went to the next step of their n. [Blood Dragonling has spent 1000 low-level Crystals...] [Lightning Dragonling has spent 1000 low-level Crystals...] [Twilight Dragonling has spent 1000 low-level Crystals...] In no time, the three participants left the Normal Dark World and started their search in the new world that they teleported. They were a little disappointed for not getting the Divine Dragon g; however, they knew that there were still 14 Divine Dragon gs left and as long as they worked hard, they could find at least one Divine Dragon g with their speed. ''Swoosh'' In this first Normal Dark World, almost 80 percent of the low-level Darkfire Wraiths were killed and there were only three participants left in the world. Even though they have 1000 low-level crystals, they didn''t bother to teleport to the other Normal Dark World as they wanted to clear all the low-level Darkfire Wraiths in this world before they could automatically teleport to the next world. That''s right! When all the Darkfire Wraiths in the world are killed, the participants in that world will be transferred to a random Normal Dark World that is connected to the trial. Even if they use the 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals to go to a new Normal Dark World, it would take more than five hours to collect those 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. Therefore, they preferred to stay in this first world for another two to three hours to increase their Darkfire Crystals and at the same time to get the free teleportation pass to their second Normal Dark World. Time continued to pass and it''s been a little more than 12 hours since the trial started as a few more announcements were resources in all 15 Normal Dark Worlds. [All the Darkfire Wraiths in Trial World One have been cleared. All the participants who were standing in that world will receive the points worth 1000 low-level Crystals] [Also, those participants will be freely teleported to one of the remaining trial worlds]. [As for Trial World One, since the Darkfire Wraiths are cleared, the Mythical Grade Treasure and the Divine Dragon g were found, the world will be removed from the trial now] These announcements made the participants pleasantly surprised¡­especially, the ones who remained in the world until the end of all the Darkfire Wraiths. Even though they knew about the free teleportation, they didn''t know about the +1000 low-level Crystals. ''It looks like I have made a good decision by staying in this world.'' ''Haha¡­that was a good boost in my low-level Darkfire Crystals.'' Soon, the three participants left the world and appeared in three new Trial Worlds. Time continued to pass and another 11 hours passed by, [The Soul Dragonling has found a Divine Dragon g and he decided to challenge Stormfire Wyvernling] [The Primordial Dragon has used the Divine Dragon g and challenged Twilight Dragonling] Chapter 1765 Twilights Evil Plan ? ording to the rules of the Trial of the Divine Dragons, the participant who found the Divine Dragon g should issue a challenge to the other participants. If not, the Divine Dragon g would disappear and randomly issue a challenge to one of the participants. The Primordial Dragonling was waiting for the end of the day; however, before that, the Soul Dragonling found the Divine Dragon g and issued a challenge to Stormfire Wyvernling who was considered the weakest participant. Seeing that someone has challenged the weakest participant, the Primordial Dragonling chose the second weakest participant¡­at least that''s what he believed. Unlike the onlookers who were focusing on Twilight, and a couple of participants who watched Twilight''s powerful attacks, no one knows that his normal battle prowess was on par with Blood Dragonling and the Lightning Dragonling. However, Primordial Dragonling didn''t know that and among all the participants, he didn''t have much information on Twilight and at the same time, he looked quite young to be powerful. Moreover, the Primordial Dragon Emperor had some feud with the Jade Dragon Emperor and received orders that made things difficult for the participant backed by the Jade Dragon Emperor. Therefore, he decided to issue a challenge to him and win against the Twilight Dragonling to please his backer. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' As soon as the Divine Dragon gs were used by the participants, the owners of the gs directly disappeared from their worlds and directly appeared in front of their opponents. [The battle between Soul Dragonling and Stormfire Wyvernling will begin in five minutes] [The battle between Primordial Dragonling and Twilight Dragonling will begin in five minutes]. Soon, the information about the two battles was resounded in all the trial worlds and made the other participants keep an ear on the battle updates while they farmed for the low-level Darkfire Crystals. ¡­ The five minutes passed by in a sh as the two battles began at the same time. Among the two battles, one battle waspleted in less than 10 seconds; however, it didn''t surprise anyone. ''Swoosh'' [Soul Pull] As soon as the five-minute preparation time was up, the Soul Dragonling''s soul came out of his body and passed through the Stormfire Wyvernling who was not expecting the Soul Dragonling to attack him with such great speed. Before he could block the iing attack, the Stormfire Wyvernling''s body fell to the ground as his soul came out of the body. [Soul Shock] When his soul came out of the body, the Stormfire Wyvernling didn''t understand what was happening to him as he received another attack from the Soul Dragonling and in the next second, his soul lost consciousness before returning to the unconscious body. Now, both the body and the soul were unconscious and it was clear that the Soul Dragonling was the winner of the battle. [Soul Dragonling versus Stormfire Wyvernling, the Soul Dragonling wins the match and receives 2100 low-level Crystals along with the Eternal World Fruit] As soon as the battle between them ended, the voice announced the results as the two participants were teleported back to the trial worlds that they were previously on. Of course, the Stormfire Wyvernling was still sleeping as it would take some time for him to recover and after waking up, if he wanted to continue the trial, he could start collecting the Darkfire Crystals, if not, he could return to his world and end his trial. ¡­. On the other side, the battle between the Primordial Dragonling and Twilight Dragonling has started as both sides used their basic skills to test each other. "You are quite good; however, if it was all you have got, then it''s useless." The Primordial Dragonling smiled a little as he used one of his powerful trump cards without wasting any time. [Primordial Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline] ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the aura released by the Primordial Dragonling became powerful. ''Heavenly Dragon''s Insights On the other hand, Twilight was calm as he still didn''t have any thoughts on using his Divine Rule because if he used it, he couldn''t use it until the end of the trial. Moreover, Twilight was confident that he could easily defeat his opponent and used one of his skills to check the information on his opponent. [Primordial Dragon Emperor''s Bloodlinests for 10 minutes and it will temporarily boost the strength of the user by 3 times] ''So, I just need to stall for 10 minutes. It is going to be a piece of cake for me.'' After getting the information on the bloodline, Twilight became even more rxed as he decided to stall for 10 minutes so that, the moment his opponent''s bloodline gets deactivated, he could finish the match without using any of his trump cards. Even though Twilight could finish the match without stalling for time, he needed to use at least two or even more of his powerful skills and by stalling for time, the other participants could think that he was not powerful and if they find the Divine Dragon g, their first preference was to challenge him. ''It looks like I have made a perfect n and from now on, I don''t need to search for the Divine Dragon g and let the other participants challenge me on their own¡­keke.'' Twilight evillyughed in his heart as he looked at the Primordial Dragonling who wasing towards him. [Primoridal Dragon Punch] The Primordial Dragonling was a purebat-type dragon and thus, Twilight didn''t have to worry about long-range attacks. All he needed to do was to maintain some distance between him and the Primordial Dragonling for the next 10 minutes. "Tond that punch on me, you need to catch me first¡­keke." Twilight finally showed his evil nature as two huge dragon wings appeared on his back and flew into the sky dodging the iing punch. "Huh? You are a shame for the Divine Dragons. Why can''t you fight like a Divine Dragon?" The Primordial Dragonling became furious as he cursed Twilight; however, he silently made a n on how to catch the Twilight. Chapter 1766 [Bonus chapter] Twilight’s Evil Plan (2)

Chapter 1766 [Bonus chapter] Twilight''s Evil n (2)

Just because the Primordial Dragonling was a pure body-type Dragon doesn''t mean he didn''t have any trump cards to use against the flying-type opponent. Since most of the dragons have wings, the Primordial Dragons have already created some moves to fight against the flying-type Dragons like Twilight. [Primordial Punch] The Primordial Dragonling used the same attack that he was trying to use on Twilight; however, this time, he changed the target as he punched the ground. ''Kacha'' ''Rumble'' ''Puchi'' When his punchnded on the ground, it created an earthquake within a radius of kilometers and at the same time, the ck-coloured stones in the Normal Dark World flew into the air. "Let''s see how you are going to escape my next move." With a smirk, the Primordial Dragonling started kicking and throwing the stones that flew into the air at Twilight. ''Huh? A self-made skill for long-ranged opponents?'' Twilight was surprised for a moment; however, he learned that he should not take the Emperor Realm Dragonling lightly and his moment of carelessness would make him lose the battle. ''If Brother Ajax learns that I got defeated on the first day of the trial, he would be disappointed. So, let''s not disappoint him.'' With that thought in mind, Twilight became focused as he hurriedly flew into the distance. That''s right! He became very careful in stalling for time and Twilight was confident in his escaping and stalling skills. "Damn you¡­stop flying away and fight me." The Primordial Dragonling could throw the stones a long distance; however, if he did that, his opponent would have enough time to dodge his attack. So, his self-created move became useless the moment Twilight flew away by more than 10 kilometers in an instant. The thing is, Primordial Dragonling had never met such a cowardly dragon. Even though he had fought many flying-type dragons in the past, they would at least try to fight him; however, it was the first time that a Dragon¡­a Divine Dragon at that was flying away without showing any interest in fighting him. ¡­ ''What is he doing?'' ''When did Divine Dragons run away from a fight? Aren''t Divine Dragons known for their proud nature and fighting to death?'' ''It looks like what we have heard about the dragons might not be entirely true.'' ''I think the same. They might also run away from a losing fight just like the humans.'' . . . The human powerhouses who were watching the fight between Twilight and the Primordial Dragonling were surprised to see apletely different nature of the Dragonspared to what they kept hearing from ancient times. ¡­ ''What is happening?'' ''How can a Divine Dragon run away from a fight?'' ''He is bringing shame to the entire Dragon Race and the Divine Dragons.'' ''He is backed by Draven, right? Leave it, let''s not make a big issue out of it when he and his wife were about to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm.'' . . . On the other hand, the different emperors of the Dragonheart Society were furious at Twilight''s actions. As for the Jade Emperor Draven, he was not angry or disappointed at Twilight and he muttered, "Jaed, can you tell me what little brother Twilight was trying to do?" Of course, even though most of the Dragon Emperors were furious at Twilight''s actions, they could easily guess what Twilight was trying to do. However, Draven wanted to see whether his son could figure out what Twilight was trying to do. "It''s very obvious that he was waiting for the Primordial Dragonling''s bloodline to deactivate before striking back and it can be told even by a 100-year-old Dragonling " Even though Jaed acted immature from time to time, he was a little genius in the Dragon Region just like Ryan and Lynn. Moreover, because he stopped cultivating for a while and actively spent most of his time with his parents while managing the worlds under their control, Jaed''s view of looking at something has changed a lot. "However, I know what answer you are expecting from me and I will tell you now." The first reason that Jaed replied to his father was the most basic reply that even could tell; however, Jaed had another answer for his father. Even Draven was also expecting that answer as Jaed answered, "From the first time I met Little Brother Twilight, I can tell that he was a battle freak and he was trying to trick the other participants into that he was the weakest participant who won his first duel with the Primordial Dragonling by chance." "Once the participants believed that, they would directly challenge Little Brother because he would be having more low-level Darkfire Crystals and by defeating him, the participants could increase their rank by multiple ces." "Well¡­it looks like you are as intelligent as me¡­Haha." Draven was happy to hear Jaed''s answers. "I got my intelligence from my mother." Jaed shrugged and continued to watch his little brother Twilight''s duel with the Primordial Dragonling. ''...'' As for Draven, he shook his head with a slight smile on his face as he also continued to watch the fight. ¡­ As Draven and Jaed were happy that the chances of Twilight winning the duel were high, there was someone who was furious and cursed the Primordial Dragonling. "Where did this brainless foole from? Why did he activate the bloodline so soon in the trial?" The Primordial Dragon Emperor was cursing the Primordial Dragonling because he could already predict the oue of the duel. So, other than cursing his opponent, there was nothing he could do in his current situation. ¡­ Time continued to pass as 10 minutes passed by in a sh. In these 10 minutes, the Primordial Dragonling tried so many of his tricks and techniques to catch Twilight; however, Twilight was a step ahead of him as he always maintained a distance of more than 5 kilometres between them. "Since you have attacked me so many times, I will attack you once and hopefully, you will survive my attack." The moment Twilight saw that his opponent''s bloodline was deactivated, he didn''t waste any time in using, [Triple Twilight Cannon]. Chapter 1767 Rankings of the Participants

Chapter 1767 Rankings of the Participants

[Triple Twilight Cannon] ''Swoosh'' In the second, three purple¨Ccoloured energy orbs came out of Twilight''s mouth and flew towards the Primordial Dragonling whose bloodline got deactivated and became a little weak. ''Merge'' The three energy orbs merged and became a single energy orb that emitted intense energy from it. ''Boom'' Everything happened so fast that the Primordial Dragonling didn''t have any time to dodge the iing orb and sted away. ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' The Primordial Dragonling''s body fell more than five kilometers away from Twilight; however, still, there was only a slight burnt mark on his body and the rest of his body looked perfectly good. ''It looks like the information about the Primordial Dragons having strong bodies was well justified.'' Even though there was only a burnt mark on the Primordial Dragonling''s body, he lost consciousness. ''Swoosh'' Soon, an old dragon appeared beside the body and checked the condition of the Primordial Draglonling''s body. [The Primordial Dragonling has lost the duel against the Twilight Dragonling] After confirming that the Primordial Dragonling''s condition was not life-threatening, the old man announced the result of the duel to all the participants in the trial. [The Twilight Dragonling will receive 2330 low-level Darkfire Crystals from the Primoridal Dragonling] The old man extracted the low-level Darkfire Crystals from the Primordial Dragon''s storage ring and sent them into Twilight''s storage ring. ''Swoosh'' After that, the old man disappeared without any trace and Twilight''s body also teleported back to the trial world that he was on before the duel. ¡­ ''Twilight Dragonling? He is lucky enough to win against the Primordial Dragonling.'' ''If my guess is right, he might be good at maintaining distance from his opponents.'' ''The duel continued for nearly 15 minutes and the strength of the Primordial Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling is almost simr. Since I am more powerful than Primordial Dragonling, I can challenge Twilight if I get the Divine Dragon g.'' ''The duel continued for nearly 15 minutes. It means the Primordial Dragonling has used his bloodline and the Twilight Dragonling might have stalled for time for the bloodline to get deactivated and then quickly ended the fight.'' . . . Each participant has their own line of thoughts after hearing the announcement regarding the duel between the Primordial Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling. Some thought that Twilight Dragonling was not powerful enough to take down Primordial Dragonling quickly whereas a few participants thought Twilight had stalled for time because of the bloodline. Anyway, all the participants became curious about Twilight and wanted to challenge Twilight if they got their hands on the Divine Dragon g because Twilight has a good number of low-level Darkfire Crystals and by defeating him, they could get their hands on them. Time continued to pass and in a sh, it was already the end of the first day of the trial. [The ranking of the participants at the end of the first day has been updated. Injected your bestial consciousness into the storage rings and you can check the rankings] As soon as the first day of the trial came to an end, the familiar voice resounded in all the trial worlds, informing them to check the rankings. ''Let''s see.'' Just like all the participants, Twilight also wanted to know the rankings because he promised Ajax that he would get first ce in the trial and get all the rewards in the trial. ''Swoosh As soon as he injected his bestial consciousness into the storage ring, rows of information came to his head. The ranking list at the end of the first day of the trial is: 1) Twilight, the Twilight Dragonling, 9900 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Ryan, the Blood Dragonling, 8500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Lynn, the Lightning Dragonling, 8200 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 4) Austin, the Soul Dragonling, 7600 low-level Darkfire Crystals. . . . . 9) Tye, the Stormfire Wyvernling, 0 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 10) Reg, the Primordial Dragonling, 0 low-level Darkfire Crystals. ''What? I am currently in the first ce?'' Twilight was pleasantly surprised to see his name at the top of the ranking list and when he thought about it, he was not surprised. ''That''s right! I killed many groups of Darkfire Wraiths and even defeated the Primordial Dragonling and got 2330 low-level Darkfire Crystals. So, it is only right for me to be in the first ce.'' Twilight was proud as he looked at the participants below his name and when he saw their low-level Darkfire Crystals, he was surprised. ''It looks like my killing speed is not as fast as I thought it would be.'' If not for the duel, Twilight would be at fifth ce whereas the participants in the second and the third ce were able to have so many Darkfire Crystals solely from killing. Therefore, Twilight decided to be serious and farm for more Darkfire Crystals. ''Wait a second¡­there is no need for me to work hard in collecting the Darkfire Crystals. All I have to do is find the Divine Dragon g.'' Since he was the first ce in the ranking, Twilight would obviously be the target in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, Twilight felt that he didn''t have to work hard to farm the Darkfire Crystals as he could just get them by defeating the participants who would be challenging him. [The top three participants at the end of the first day of the trial will receive 10000, 5000, and 2500 low-level Darkfire Crystals] Just when Twilight thought that he should take some rest and wait for someone to challenge him, there was an announcement that made Twilight even more happy. Without wasting any time, he once again injected his bestial consciousness into he storage ring to check the number of dark fire crystals for the first three participants in the rankings. 1) Twilight, the Twilight Dragonling, 19900 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Ryan, the Blood Dragonling, 13500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Lynn, the Lightning Dragonling, 10700 low-level Darkfire Crystals. ''It looks like I don''t have to strain myself anymore; instead, I will just rest.'' With the addition of the 10000 low-level Darkfire Crystals to his ount, Twilight became a delicious fruit that was waiting to be devoured by the other participants. Chapter 1768 Second Duel

Chapter 1768 Second Duel

Once the rankings were updated, everyone became interested in Twilight because as long as they could challenge him and defeat him, they would get nearly 20,000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. Except for Ryan and Lynn, all the participants were able to farm the Darkfire Crystals ranging from 2000-5000 on the first day of the trial. Hence, as long as they could defeat Twilight, they would get 4-5 days worth of low-level Darkfire Crystals just by defeating Twilight which would save them a lot of time. Nevertheless, finding a Divine Dragon g would take quite some time and hence, most of the participants focused on farming the Darkfire Crystals while a few participants could not wait to find the Divine Dragon g to challenge Twilight. Time continued to pass and in a sh, more than half of the second day of the trial waspleted. Since most of the Divine Dragons were Emperor Realm Spirit Beasts, they wouldn''t be tired that easily and could fight for more than a week or a month depending on the energy they spent in their fights. As everyone had their own goals to achieve in the trial, they didn''t dare to take a rest except for Twilight who was waiting for someone to find the Divine Dragon g and challenge him. [The Poison Dragonling has found a Divine Dragon g and issued a challenge to Twilight] [The Void Dragonling has found a Divine Dragon g] Suddenly, two announcements resounded in the world and Twilight was both happy and sad at the same time. He was happy because finally, someone found a Divine Dragon g and even challenged him; however, there was another participant who found the Divine Dragon g. ''I hope he won''t challenge anyone until I finish the match with the Poison Dragonling.'' This was what Twilight thought in his head as he heard another announcement. [Since Twilight Dragonling has already fought a match yesterday, he could reject all the duels that are challenging him] ''Huh? I can reject the challenges?'' Twilight was surprised for a moment before muttering, ''There is no way, I will reject any duels that wereing to me.'' "I ept the duel." Without wasting any time, he agreed to the challenge. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, his body disappeared from the trial world as it appeared in the world where Poison Dragonling was standing. [The duel between the Poison Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling will begin in five minutes. Please prepare yourself] Like yesterday, both the fighters were given five minutes to prepare and Twilight used the time to collect the information on the participant. [Heavenly Dragon Insights] ''Swoosh'' As soon as he used his skills, Twilight received information about the Poison Dragonling from his Ancient Memories. ¡­ Dragon Race: Poison Dragonling. Bloodline: None. Divine Rule: Divine Poison Rule (1 percent) Duration: one minute. Skills: Poison Touch, Poison Dragon Breath, Golden Poison Armour, Silent Poison Dart¡­. ¡­. Maybe because the Posion Dragonling''s cultivation was weaker than his, Twilight was able to get a lot of information on the Poison Dragonlingpared to the Primordial Dragonling. However, since the Poison Dragonling has awakened the Divine Rule, he was much more powerful than the Primordial Dragon. ''Since Divine Rule is an ultimate move for all the participants in the trial, he won''t use it right away and that''s how I am going to win the fight.'' In a fight, as long as one has the information on his opponent, it would be a lot easier to win the match even if the other opponent has some deadly trump cards. The deadly trump card that Poison Dragonling has is none other than Divine Poison Rule; however, he won''t be using it unless the situation demands it because, the moment he uses the Divine Rule, he won''t have any trump cards for the rest of the trial. Even though Twilight also has a Divine Rule that is more powerful than the Poison Dragonling, it would be the same for him as he could not use it recklessly just to win a duel. However, thanks to the Heavenly Dragon Insights, Twilight knows all the trump cards that the Poison Dragonling has which could give him an absolute advantage. [The duel between the Poison Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling has started] Soon, the five-minute preparation time for the duel waspleted as the voice asked them to fight. [Poison Bomb] It was not just Twilight who prepared during the 5-minute preparation time, even Poison Dragonling also prepared himself. Hence, as soon he heard the voice, the Poison Dragonling didn''t waste any time as he used one of the powerful attacks. ''Swoosh'' Twilight was quick with his wings as he hurriedly flew into the sky to dodge the poison bomb. "Do you think you are the only one with the wings?" The Poison Dragonling chuckled a little as two grey wings appeared on his back as he flew into the sky. "What? You have wings?" Twilight was not really surprised because he already knew that the Poison Dragonling had wings and could fly with him. However, he made everyone believe that he was surprised to see the wings on the Poison Dragon. Not all dragons will have wings and even with their wings, they were dragons that could not fly. "Where will you run off to now?" The Poison Dragonling was a little happy when he saw the surprised look on Twilight''s face as he decided to use another one of his powerful attacks to injure Twilight. [Triple Twilight Cannon] However, Twilight was early as he used one of his powerful attacks on the Poison Dragon. "Your attacks are useless if they are slow." Even though the Poison Dragonling said that he could sense that the iing energy orb was dangerous and could severely injure him if he was not careful. [Golden Poison Armour] Hence, he used one of his powerful defensive moves and sessfully blocked the attack. "Is this all you got? If so, you are¡­" [Dark Destruction st] However, before the Poison Dragonling could finish his words, he saw Twilight appear right in front of him as a ck-coloured energy beam sted him off into the distance. Chapter 1769 [Bonus ] Back-To-Back Duels ? Twilight already knew that the Poison Dragonling had a defensive move and as long as he made the Poison Dragonling use that move, he couldunch a surprise attack and defeat the Poison Dragonling in a single move. Moreover, since the Poison Dragonling was in mid-air, he was unable to dodge the second attackunched by Twilight. Before the Poison Dragonling could realize what was happening to him, he was sted off into the distance and severely injured while losing consciousness. The entire process seemed to be so simple; however, Twilight had nned it perfectly and sessfully finished the match in the shortest time possible. ''Since I have enough low-level Darkfire Crystals, even if they know that I am powerful, they won''t control their greed in challenging me.'' Unlike before, Twilight was not worried too much about finishing the battle in a short time as he knew that most of the Divine Dragons like challenging power beings. Of course, not all the Divine Dragons will be like that. Anyway, Twilight felt that he had enough low-level Darkfire Crystals for the other participants to challenge. ''Even if they don''t challenge me now, by the end of the trial, they need to challenge me to get first ce.'' The reward for the first ce in the trial would get him 10 Mythical Grade Treasures along with a free entry to under the body tempering with all the sentient mes. So, no participant would be willing to risk it just because the other party was powerful. Moreover, the trial of the Divine Dragons was a trial where the participants didn''t have to worry about getting killed or killing their fellow participants because the Dragon Emperors would heal them. The old man from before appeared and checked on Poison Dragonling before healing him and announcing the result of their duel [The Poison Dragonling has been critically injured and cannot continue with the Trial of the Divine Dragons anymore. He will be officially eliminated from the trial]. Twilight saw the old man''s face was emotionless as his voice resounded in all the trial worlds. Unlike the Primordial Dragonling, the Poison Dragonling''s body was not strong. Moreover,pared to the [Triple Twilight Cannon], the [Dark Destruction st] was more powerful and could deal a huge amount of damage to Twilight''s enemies. Hence, Twilight was not surprised much when he heard that the Poison Dragonling was critically injured. ''Eliminated?'' However, what surprised him was that the old man directly announced the elimination of the Poison Dragonling. [The winner of the duel between Poison Dragonling and Twilight Dragonling is Twilight Dragonling] [The 7000 low-level Darkfire Crystals in Poison Dragonling''s storage ring will be transferred to Twilight Dragonling''s storage ring] [With the addition of these 7000 low-level Darkfire Crystals, the Twilight Dragonling will have 26900 low-level Darkfire Crystals]. The old man disappeared with the Poison Dragonling and soon, a series of announcements in his voice resounded everywhere. ''Swoosh'' As for Twilight, he was teleported to the trial world he was on before the duel. ''Phew¡­with these many Darkfire Crystals, I can maintain my ranking at first ce and get another 10000 low-level Darkfire Crystals at the end of the second day.'' Even before the duel, Twilight was already confident in maintaining his first ce and now, with the addition of 7000 low-level Darkfire Crystals, his position has solid footing. ''I wonder whether the Void Dragonling who found the Divine Dragon g at the same time as the Poison Dragonling will challenge me?'' Since there was no announcement regarding another duel, Twilight was a little hopeful regarding the challenge. If he could win the third duel, he could have enough Darkfire Crystals to maintain his first rank for another couple of days or even longer as long as he doesn''t get defeated by the challenger. [The Void Dragonling has used the Divine Dragon g to challenge the Twilight Dragonling] Just as Twilight was hoping to get challenged by the Void Dragonling, he heard a familiar voice that was so pleasing to his ear. [Since the Twilight Dragonling has justpleted his challenge, he could reject all the challenges for today and tomorrow] Like before, the announcement informed Twilight that he could reject the duel; however, how could Twilight reject it when he was hoping to get a challenge? "I ept the duel." There was no hesitation as he epted the duel, making the announcer, the participants and even the onlookers pleasantly surprised. "That''s how a Divine Dragon should be." "He is the true Divine Dragon who never backs down when challenged." "It looks like the Jade Dragon Emperor got a good dragon to nurture before he ascends to the Heavenly Bestial Realm." . . . The onlookers praised Twilight for his brave decision. Even though the dragon emperors had many feuds and issues regarding one another, they didn''t hesitate to praise someone from the young generation if they felt he was worthy. Right now, Twilight looked very pleasing to their eyes and a worthy Divine Dragon that should be properly nurtured as he could bring the strength of the Dragon Region to the next level. However, there were still two Dragon Emperors that hated Twilight and they were none other than the Primordial Dragon Emperor and the Poison Dragon Emperor. Because of Twilight, the participants backed by them lost to Twilight and one of them even got eliminated. ¡­. [The duel between the Void Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling will begin in five minutes. Please prepare yourself] Like always, the voice resounded as Twilight used this time to collect the information of the Void Dragonling standing in front of him. ¡­ Dragon Race: Void Dragon. Divine Rule: Divine Space Rule (1 percent). Bloodline: Void Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline. Skills: Void Jump, Void w, Void Reflection¡­.. ¡­. ''It looks like this opponent is quite difficult to deal with. I think I might be using my Divine Rule against him.'' Even though Twilight felt that he might use the Divine Rule in this duel, he was not worried much because he learned how to use the Divine Rules from Ajax and decided to follow his teachings. Chapter 1770 Back To Back Duels (2) ? Twilight''s previous opponents didn''t have both bloodline and the Divine Rule; however, this time, the opponent has both. Moreover, the opponent also knew that Twilight was not weak, would be careful while fighting him and wouldn''t get any opportunity to let Twilight finish him in a single move. Therefore, Twilight knew that this duel would be a little difficult; however, he was looking for such battles where he would get satisfaction after winning the fight. [Void Jump] [Twilight Armour] Soon, the preparation time waspleted as the battle between Twilight and the Void Dragonling began. Unlike the previous fights, the battle between these two was intense as they used their attacks and either dodged or blocked perfectly, making everyone witness a good battle between the juniors after a long time. "You are just as good as the Jade Dragon Emperor when he was young. It looks like he trained you well." As the fight continued, the Void Dragonling''s respect towards Twilight increased and from time to time, he would say some goodments about Twilight and his fighting style. "You are not bad either." On the other hand, Twilight also had a good impression as he felt he had finally found a good sparring partner. "Thank you." The Void Dragonling teleported away from Twilight before saying, "If not for the trial, I would have continued to fight you for as long as possible; however, I have to win this fight quickly and recover my strength for my future battles with the other participants." ''[Void Dragonling''s Bloodline], deactivate.'' Until now, the Void Dragonling was fighting with his bloodline activated and he was still unable to defeat Twilight. That''s the reason why he was impressed by Twilight; however, he didn''t want to waste any more time as he wanted to wrap this fight up as soon as possible and get first ce in the ranking. ''As long as I defeat him, I can stay in first ce for today and tomorrow also. As for the Divine Rule, I have to finish the match in 10 seconds and I can use the Divine Rule after two days without harming my body much.'' The only trump card that the Void Dragonling left to win the battle was none other than using the Divine Rule; however, if he activated it and used it for a full two minutes, he needed to wait for one full month to safely activate the Divine Rule again. Nevertheless, if he could use it for only 10 seconds and deactivate the Divine Rule, he could use it again in two to three days and if he had to use it, the Void Dragonling decided to harm his body by using the Divine Rule before it fully came out of the reset. Since he would bepleting a duel today, the Void Dragonling was not worried that he had to fight some powerful participants for today and tomorrow. As for the day after tomorrow, someone had to find the Divine Dragon g and challenge and if that really happened and the opponent was powerful, he could only harm himself by activating the Divine Rule. ''[Divine Space Rule], activate.'' Even though he could use both the bloodline and the Divine Rule at the same time, the after-effects from it would unnecessarily increase the cooldown. Moreover, to defeat Twilight, the Void Dragonling felt there was no need to stack both the bloodline effects and the Divine Space Rule. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated his Divine Rule, the Void Dragonling emitted an aura that wasparable to the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators. ''He will be my strongest opponent. Let''s defeat him and walk the path of the strongest divine dragon.'' However, Twilight was not surprised much as he revealed a slight smile on his face as he was waiting for this moment. "Don''t think too much about it. It''s just your luck is bad for fighting me." The Void Dragonling wanted to finish the duel as fast as possible. Hence, didn''t waste any time as he freely teleported more than four or five times in a row before closing in on Twilight. "That''s my line." Twilight knew that the Void Dragonling already had the Divine Space Rule and after activating it, he could teleport instantly within a limited range. Also, all his battle prowess would be increased by 10 times and even if he used the normal attack, it would severely injure Twilight and make him win the duel in no time. However, Twilight was calm as he already thought of what he had to do when the Void Dragonling used his Divine Space Rule. ''Divine Dark Rule, activate.'' In the next second, a powerful aura burst out of Twilight''s Body that instantly pushed the Void Dragonling who was ready to attack him away. "Haha¡­you surprsied me for a moment there. So, you do have a Divine Rule. No wonder, you looked confident and fearless when I activated my Divine Space Rule." The Void Dragonling was surprised and looked calm on the surface; however, he became anxious when he saw Twilight activate a Divine Rule. What''s more, from the energy bursting out of Twilight''s body, the Void Dragonling could tell that Twilight''s Divine Rule had more awakening percentage and with more awakening percentage, a beast or a cultivator could keep the Divine Rule activated for a long time. ''Damn it¡­I have to go all out and give up on the top three rankings.'' The Void Dragonling gritted because if he went all out in the fight now, he wouldn''t be able to use the Divine Rule in the remaining days of the trial and if he didn''t use the Divine Rule, he wouldn''t be able to enter the top three in the ranking. ''So be it ... .as long as I win this match, I will be in the top 5; otherwise, it will be at the bottom of the rankings.'' With that thought in mind, the Void Dragonling decided to use the skill connected to his Divine Rune. [Infinite Void shes] Soon, the Void Dragonling''s body flickered as he became fully confident in his attack; however, to his surprise, he saw Twilight sitting on the ground with his eyes closed without doing anything. ''Did he give up on the fight?'' ****** Monthly Target: 1000 Golden Tickets needed to maintain three chapters per day in the next month. Chapter 1771 Back To Back Duels (3) ? ''Did he give up on the fight?'' Looking at how Twilight was not showing any signs of counterattack, the Void Dragonling and all the onlookers who were watching their fight frowned. Until a moment ago, they were praising Twilight for being a proud Divine Dragon and now, they were thinking that they over-praised him. The only thing that they thought after seeing Twilight''s actions was that he had given up on the fight. ''But the thing is, if he was giving up on the fight, then why did he bother to activate the Divine Rule?'' A few Dragon Emperors started thinking that the Twilight Dragonling was nning something after remembering his previous actions. ''Whatever he is nning to do, I am going to defeat him at any cost.'' For a moment, even the Void Dragonling felt the same; however, he didn''t think much as he thought about how powerful his Divine Space Rule was, and he became confident. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Void Dragonling''s body flickered as he appeared in many different ces at the same time and all of them rushed towards Twilight. Even though it looked like the Void Dragonling had many clones, in fact, they were not clones; instead, it was the Void Dragonling''s ability unlocked under the Divine Space Rule where he could instantly teleport everyone within a limited radius. Currently, Twilight was within the limited radius and it made things even easier for the Void Dragonling and thus, he was confident in defeating Twilight. "It''s time to end." The Void Dragonling''s dozens of silhouettes reached Twilight while flickering and shing his Dragon''s ws at Twilight. ''Divine Dragon Protection'' Twilight was calm with his eyes closed as he muttered the name of the passive skill. Since it was a passive skill, Twilight didn''t have to activate it as it would get triggered on its own when he met the requirements. Currently, Twilight met the requirements and he activated the Divine Dark Rule and closed his eyes. So, as long as he closed his eyes, no attack could harm him. ''sh'' The Void Dragonling shed with his ws; however, they were passed through Twilight''s body as though it shed through an empty space. ''What?'' Not only the Void Dragonling but even the onlookers of the duel were shocked when they saw that the Void Dragonling''s attack didn''tnd on Twilight. ''Is that a skill under his Divine Rule?'' That''s the only thought in everyone''s heads because only Divine Rules have such skills and since Twilight had activated the Divine Rule and sat without any worries, they could confirm that it was rted to the Divine Space Rule. ''No wonder, he was calm. So, he does have a trump card.'' Soon, everyone realized their previous thoughts of Twilight giving up on the fight were wrong as they excitedly looked for Twilight''s next move. As far as they knew, after this surprising move, there would be a killing move that Twilight would use on the Void Dragonling to finish the match. [Triple Twilight Cannon] Unlike the Void Dragonling, who had a good attacking skill under his Divine Rule that could be used right away, Twilight didn''t have one and he needed to meet some other requirements. Even though he could fulfil them easily, Twilight didn''t feel like using them on the Void Dragonling as he felt it would be overkill. Hence, he used one of his basic powerful attacks and under the amplification of his Divine Dark Rule, the attack power of the [Triple Twilight Cannon] was powerful even to kill peak-level Emperor Realm cultivators in a single. ''Boom'' Soon, the three energy orbs released from Twilight''s mouth as they merged into one and sted into the Void Dragonling''s body who was still surprised at how Twilight was able to dodge his powerful attack so easily. Hence, the Void Dragonling was unable to dodge the attack and immediately sted into the distance and lost the duel with a single move. ''Divine Dark Rule, deactivate.'' It''s been a little over 20 seconds and even before the old man could announce the result, Twilight was confident in his attack as he deactivated his Divine Dark Rule. ''Since it is less than 30 seconds, I can use it again tomorrow, right?'' Currently, Twilight''s Divine Dark Rule has been awakened by 30 percent and the duration for his Divine Rule is 30 minutes with a cooldown of a week. Since he used it for less than 30 seconds, Twilight felt that he could use the Divine Rule right away; however, he decided to not strain his body too much on the second day of the Trial. Therefore, he decided to follow the Divine Rule again tomorrow if necessary. [The winner of the duel between the Void Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling is Twilight Dragonling] [Due to the severe injuries, the Void Dragonling will be eliminated from the Trial] Soon, the old man checked on the Void Dragonling and eliminated him, making all the participants shocked. ''What the¡­just how strong is this Twilight Dragonling?'' ''He was able to defeat the Void Dragonling and the Poison Dragonling back to back.'' ''It looks like he might beparable to Ryan and Lynn.'' . . All the participants were having second thoughts about whether they should challenge the Twilight Dragonling or not. Challenging him was not a problem as they liked thepetition and challenging the powerful opponents; however, the problem was that those who were challenging the Twilight Dragonling were getting eliminated, which the participants didn''t want to happen as they wouldn''t get any rewards for getting eliminated before the trial was finished. [The 11100 low-level Darkfire Crystals in the Void Dragonling''s storage ring will be transferred to Twilight Dragonling''s storage ring] [The total low-level Darkfire Crstals in Twilight Dragonling''s storage ring is 38000] However, when they heard thetest announcements from the old dragon, everyone removed those thoughts and started searching for the Divine Dragon gs while farming for the Darkfire Crystals. After more than four hours, another three participants found the Divine Dragon gs and after some hesitation, all three of them challenged Twilight at once because they believed that they were much stronger than the Void Dragonling. Chapter 1772 [Bonus ] Ryan Versus Lynn ? [The Lightning Dragonling found a Divine Dragon g and challenged Twilight to do a duel] [The Frost Dragonling found a Divine Dragon g and challenged Twilight to do a duel] [The Forest Dragonling found a Divine Dragon g and challenged Twilight to do a duel] Currently, Twilight has so many Darkfire Crystals that as long as they get it, their chances of winning the trial would be high. Of course, if they lose, their chances of even staying in the trial would be high and even if they win, they might be challenged by someone else and lose all their Darkfire Crystals. However, they could get a break for a day after winning the duel and coulde up with a n to defeat their uing challenges. Actually, the main thing these participants were very interested in was not the rewards from the trial. Of course, they also want to get the rewards but they need something else. Currently, if they could defeat the Twilight Dragonling, they would be famous. Moreover, currently, the Twilight Dragonling had already fought two duels and if their guess was right, the Twilight Dragonling had used his Divine Rule and as long as they used their powerful attacks, they believed they could win the fight even without using the Divine Rule. "I decline all the challenges for today and tomorrow." On the other hand, Twilight didn''t hesitate to say these words as he knew that the old man could listen to everything he said. Even though Twilight was a battle enthusiast, he knew when to back down. Even though he could ept another duel and was confident in defeating him with the usage of his Divine Rule, he won''t be able to use the Divine Rule for at least three more days or even longer depending on how long he would be using the Divine Rule. Twilight still remembered the promise he made to Ajax about getting first ce in the Trial of the Divine Dragons and wanted to keep his promise as he already learned the rewards for the trial were good and his brother Ajax was interested in them. Hence, he directly rejected all the challenges for today and tomorrow. [The Twilight Dragonling has rejected all the challenges for today and tomorrow. So, no one should challenge him until the day after tomorrow] [As for the current holders of the Divine Dragon g, you can challenge the other participants] Soon, the old man''s voice resounded in all the trial worlds and the g holders were a little disappointed; however, they had already expected it from Twilight. As for the other participants, they were happy to hear that they went back to farming. [The Forest Dragonling has challenged the Soul Dragonling and the Soul Dragonling has epted the challenge] [The Lightning Dragonling has challenged the Blood Dragonling and the Blood Dragonling has epted the challenge] [The Frost Dragonling has challenged the Primordial Dragonling and the Primordial Dragonling has declined the challenge] Soon, the three participants challenged others and except for Frost Dragonling''s challenge, the other two challenges were epted. Since the Primordial Dragonling had fought with Twilight yesterday, he didn''t have to fight today and moreover, the Primordial Dragonling knew that in his current condition, he could not defeat Frost Dragonling at all. ''I will just challenge the winner of these two duels and hopefully, they will ept my challenge.'' The Frost Dragonling silently thought in his head as he waited for the result of the duels. [The Forest Dragonling won the challenge against the Soul Dragonling and due to the severe injuries, the Soul Dragonling will be eliminated ording to the rules] After five minutes of preparation, the two battles started in two different worlds and within 10 minutes, the result of one of the duels was already out. With the elimination of the Soul Dragonling, a total of three participants were eliminated from the trial. The battle between the Blood Dragonling and the Lightning Dragonling continued as the Frost Dragonling used his Divine Dragon g to challenge the Forest Dragonling who rejected his challenge without any hesitation. "What the¡­" The Frost Dragonling looked at the Divine Dragon g in his head and was able to curse it when he heard the old dragon''s voice. [Since there is ack of participants to challenge, the Frost Dragonling can sell the Divine Dragon g for 10000 low-level Darkfire Crystals] "Good¡­at least I am getting 10,000 low-level Darkfire Crystals for free." Hearing that, the Frost Dragonling became happy as the Divine Dragon g in his hands disappeared and 10000 low-level Darkfire Crystals were added to his name in the rankings instantly increasing his rank to second ce. ''I hope, either one of the Blood Dragonling or the Lightning Dragonling should be eliminated and I will definitely get third ce.'' The Frost Dragonling knew that once the battle between Ryan and Lynn waspleted, the winner would take the second ce and he would be pushed back to the third ce. However, the Frost Dragonling knew that both of them were strong and the loser of the match could easily retain his third ce as there were still five more days left for the trial. Thus, he hoped for the loser of the match to be eliminated from the trial like the other three participants who were out of the trial. Time continued to pass as the battle between Ryan and Lynn was pretty intense and the winner of the match was still unable to tell. "Ryan, it looks like you are well-trained for this trial, but if you still hold yourself back, you are not going to win this match." The Lightning Dragonling Lynn scoffed at Ryan and he decided to make Ryan use his trump card. "Divine Lightning Rule, activate." ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Lynn''s entire body was covered in lighting sparks that were generated from his body and his eyes glowed as though he was a God who descended into this realm. "Even if you activate your Divine Blood Rule, it can''t stand a chance against me. Go ahead and use your bloodlinebined with the Divine Blood Rule." Chapter 1773 [Heavenly Dragon Suppression] ? For the current ''Trial of the Divine Dragons'', the two participants that everyone expected to win were the Blood Dragonling, Ryan and the Lightning Dragonling Lynn. One was the great-grandson of the current leader of the Dragonheart Society whereas the other one was the vice leader''s grandson. From a young age, they were provided with a huge number of cultivation resources and at the same time, trained by various experts and went through many trials before reaching their current position. Therefore, the battle between these two participants was a discussion among the onlookers. Their battlested for more than 12 hours and still, both of them didn''t use their Divine Rules. [The Day 2 of the trial has beenpleted and the first three participants were awarded with their daily increment of the Darkfire Crystals. [The rankings are as follows] 1) Twilight, the Twilight Dragonling, 48000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Imp, the Frost Dragonling, 23500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Ryan, the Blood Dragonling, 18500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 4) Lynn, the Lightning Dragonling, 15000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 5) Evan, the Forest Dragonling, 12000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 6) Tye, the Stormfire Wyvernling, 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 7) Reg, the Primordial Dragonling, 933 low-level Darkfire Crystals. On one hand, the battle between Ryan and Lynn was going on and on the other hand, the rankings for the second day of the trial were updated. The difference between the first and second ce was very high, making Twilight excited. ''All I have to do right now is to keep my ranking and I can venture to the Dark Region with Brother Ajax after our trips to the Floating Ind and the Secret Cultivation Realm.'' With that thought in mind, Twilight was resting in one of the Normal Dark Worlds. On the other hand, the battle between the two geniuses became intense as Lynn finally activated his Divine Lightning Rule. "Lynn, even though you are powerful, if I activate my Bloodline and Divine Rule, you will be instantly defeated." Currently, Lynn looked like a Lightning Dragon God; however, Ryan was calm andposed as he said, "Even though I can''t defeat you when you activate your Divine Rule, you can''t defeat me either¡­Haha." Ryanughed out loud as he muttered, "Blood Clones,e out." He bit his palm and waved his hand around spilling blood all around him and in the next second, each drop of blood transformed into Ryan. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' There were nearly 100 Ryans around the original real and in fact, no one knows who was the real Ryan anymore. "I was keeping this move for you all this time. If you want to defeat me, you have to find my main body and defeat it; however, can you do it before your Divine Rule gets deactivated?" The clones that Ryan created using his blood spoke at the same time, making all the onlookers look at the Lightning Dragonling to see what he would do now. "Who doesn''t know about the signature move of the Blood Dragon Emperor? Do you really think I was not prepared for it?" On the other hand, Lynn was not surprised at Ryan''s move as he revealed a slight smile on his face. "Lightning Mark, show yourself." ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Lightning Dragonling started running towards Ryan who was hiding among his 100 blood clones. On the back of the Blood Dragonling, there was a lightning mark that was shining brightly, giving away his particr location. "Huh? A Lightning Mark? When did you¡­." Ryan was surprised to see how Lynn was able to find him in just a few seconds and felt a light shock on his face. Only then did he realise that Lynn left a Lightning Mark that was very rare even for the Lightning Dragons to learn that skill. "It looks like you have grown so much since we had ourstbat¡­however, I will not let you win so easily." Since his penultimate trump card was wasted thanks to the Lightning Mark left by Lynn, Ryan didn''t have any choice other than using the final move that he didn''t want to use. "Even though I wanted to win the trial without using my final trump card, Lynn, you are making me use it. You can consider it as you have achieved something great." ''Swoosh'' ''[Divine Blood Rule] activate.'' Without wasting any time, Ryan activated his Divine Blood Rule and at the same time, the effects of the Divine Blood Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline which was already in activation were merged with the new effects from the Divine Blood Rule. "Lynn, I had a good fight thanks to you." Once Ryan activated his bloodline, he nced at the iing Lynn who had an excited smile on his face. [Heavenly Dragon Suppression] Just when Lynn was only a few steps away from Ryan, he activated a skill under his Divine Blood Rule. ''Thud'' In the next second, Lynn instantly copsed to the ground. "I¡­I ¡­.can ¡­.do¡­." Nevertheless, Lynn didn''t want to give up on the duel so easily, as he gritted his teeth and tried his best to stand up on his face. "No, you can''t do it, Lynn." However, before he could finish his words, Ryan lightly pressed Lynn with his index finger and in the next second, the ground below Lynn cracked as Lynn was pressed into the ground. "Divine Blood Rule, deactivate." Since Ryan still had another opponent to defeat in the trial, he deactivated the Divine Blood Rule along with his bloodline. In total, he had only activated his Divine Blood Rule for less than three seconds and he was able to defeat Lynn in that time. ''Since I have only used it for less than five seconds, I can use it again¡­thebination of my Bloodline and Divine Rule is overpowered.'' Ryan shook his head as he checked on Lynn who was still alive but injured severely. "Inspector, the duel is done." Soon, he informed the old man and in the next second, the old man appeared and announced the results. Chapter 1774 Last Day Of The Trial Heavenly Dragon Suppression is a skill that lets Ryan suppress all the dragons in the entire universe; however, there are still many old dragons that have their tricks to counter this skill. However, the younger generation dragons like Lightning Dragonling, could not do anything about the move¡­at least not yet. Ryan could have used that move 12 hours ago when the battle had begun; however, Ryan wanted to defeat his opponents without using that move. Of course, since he was determined to win the trial, he wouldn''t hold himself back for such a reason when he was nearly defeated by Lynn. Also, it was not a secret for the members of the Dragonheart Society that Ryan had such a powerful move. Hence, they had already given up on the thoughts of their participants getting first ce in the trial. It was also the reason why Ryder, the Blood Dragon Emperor, also the head of the Dragonheart Society, tossed good items into the Prizepool of the Trial and at the same time, he made the other members also toss some good items. On the other hand, Lynn knew that his chances of winning against Ryan were not high and if he used that secret move, it was impossible; however, he still set a target for himself and it was to make Ryan use his Divine Blood Rule and the Blood Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline. Even though he lost the duel, in a way, Lynn had achieved the goal he had set for himself. [The winner of the duel between the Blood Dragonling and the Lightning Dragonling is Blood Dragonling] [Due to the severe injuries, the Lightning Dragonling will be eliminated from the Trial] Soon, the old man who was in charge of the announcements appeared and picked up Lynn before announcing the results. After this duel, another participant was eliminated from the trial, leaving the remaining participants in the trial to six. As for the rankings, they changed again after Ryan received the Darkfire Crystals from Lynn. After that duel, there were no more duels for an entire day because, with the elimination of four participants, no one was in a hurry to fight others. The powerful participants like Twilight were resting without worrying about farming for the Darkfire Crystals and as for Ryan, he was farming for the Darkfire Crystals nonstop. If he doesn''t fight Twilight, Ryan won''t get the first ce. So, among all the participants, he was the only one who was working very hard. As for the remaining four participants, the Frost Dragonling was not worried much about farming but still farmed slowly and steadily because he was currently in third ce and as long as he could keep his ranking, it could be considered that he had achieved his goal. There were two participants, Tye, the Stormfire Wyvernling and Reg, the Primordial Dragonling who were having their ownpetition because the difference in their Darkfire Crystals was only 100. One was trying to keep his fifth ce whereas the other one was trying to reach the fifth. As for the Forest Dragonling, he was simply sitting cross-legged while thinking about something. As for what it was, only he knows; however, most of the onlookers thought that he had given up on rising the rank because he could pretty much maintain himself in fourth ce. Time continued to pass as three days passed by and it''s been five days since the Trial of the Divine Dragons started. The ranking remained the same as that on the third day of the trial; however, the number of Darkfire Crytals in their storage rings increased by a huge margin. Since only Ryan, Tye and Reg were farming for the Darkfire Crystals aggressively, they found the treasures in their Normal Dark Worlds. After learning that there were no Divine Dragon gs in the worlds he entered, Ryan would spend 1000 low-level Darkfire Crystals to enter a new Trial world. [The Frost Dragonling found a Divine Dragon g] However, the Divine Dragon g was eventually found by a participant who was farming for the low-level Darkfire Crystals just to keep his rank. ''Even the lowest ranked participants have 13000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. I should just fight him. Moreover, by defeating the Stormfire Wyvernling, I will be doing a favour to the Primordial Dragon Emperor. I hope he will pay me back for this favour.'' After thinking for a moment, the Frost Dragonling decided not to sell the Divine Dragon g; instead, he decided to challenge Stormfire Wyvernling and help the Primordial Dragonling. With the Frost Dragonling skills, he didn''t even have to use the Divine Frost Rule as he defeated the Stormfire Wyvernling after exchanging a row of moves with him. Eventually, the Stormfire Wyvernling lost all the Darkfire Crystals he had saved as his ranking fell to sixth. Time continued to pass as another day passed by as Twilight''s Darkfire Crystals increased by another 10,000. In an entire day, Ryan was able to collect around 10,000 low-level Darkfire Crystals; however, Twilight was getting 10000 of them just by sitting. Of course, Ryan was also getting free 5000 low-level Darkfire Crystals daily; however, the difference between Twilight and Ryan was huge from the very beginning and there was still a difference of 15000 low-level Darfire Crystals. Today is thest day of the trial and even if Ryan worked hard for the entire day, his chances of reaching the first ce through farming the Darkfire Crystals were almost impossible. ''Damn it¡­why am I very unlucky? How am I unable to find any Divine Dragon gs even after searching for eight trial worlds?'' During thest six days, Ryan had searched a total of eight trial worlds; however, he didn''t find a single Divine Dragon g, making him frustrated. ''Wait a second¡­is that¡­a Divine Dragon g.'' Finally, Ryan''s eyes caught a shiny thing in the distance and when he went close, he found out it was a Divine Dragon g. ''It is¡­as though the Heavens heard my prayer and ced this Divine Dragon g here.'' Ryan looked at the pitch-ck sky and silently muttered to himself as he finally got what he was searching for and issued a challenge to Twilight. Chapter 1775 [Bonus ] Ryan Versus Twilight ? In the Greater Blood Dragon World, ''Master, I havepleted the mission without anyone noticing.'' An old man bowed to Ryder, the Blood Dragon Emperor as the old man informed him about the status of a mission he was given. "Good. You can go back and do whatever you are doing." Ryder revealed a satisfied look on his face as he sent the old man away before muttering, ''Little Ryan, I know you don''t like when I look after you; however, if you don''t win this trial, you will develop inner demons. So, I hope you can forgive me.'' Looking at Ryan in the mirror hovering in front of him, Ryder could not help but apologise to his great-grandson. ¡­ In one of the Trial Worlds, ''I challenge the Twilight Dragonling to a duel.'' As soon as he got the Divine Dragon g, Ryan didn''t waste any time as he challenged Twilight. [The Blood Dragonling issued a challenge to the Twilight Dragonling] [There will be a five-minute preparation time before the duel officially starts] Like always, the one who got challenged was teleported to the one who issued the challenge and they were given a five-minute preparation. ¡­. ''It looks like the Twilight Dragonling''s luck is not good.'' ''Yeah¡­otherwise, how could Ryan find a Divine Dragon g on thest day of the trial?'' ''As long as the Twilight Dragonling forfeits the match, he could still maintain the second ce which was not bad.'' ''Yeah¡­this Twilight Dragonling was aplete Darkhorse as there was no information avable about him. So, for him to get a second ce could be still considered as an achievement.'' ''However, do you think he will forfeit the match?'' ''From the looks of it, he was also a battle freak and didn''t mind epting the challenges back to back.'' ''Whatever, I am hoping he won''t forfeit the match and give his best performance.'' Since it could be considered as the final match of the trial that decides the winner of the trial, all the mirrors disyed their fight, making the onlookers excited about the fight. ¡­. [Heavenly Dragon Insight] Even though Twilight was a battle freak, he knew that he had to win this duel at any cost; otherwise, he believed that Ajax would be a little disappointed in him. Hence, Twilight used every second of the preparation time to make a thorough n to win the duel with the Blood Dragonling. ¡­ Name: Ryan, the Blood Dragon. Divine Rule: Blood, (10 percent awakening). Skill: Heavenly Dragon Suppression: Upon activation of the skill, all dragons will be suppressed and cannot even take a single step forward, much less fight him. Bloodline: Blood Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline. When activated together with the Divine Rule, it can reset or lessen the duration of the cooldown for the Divine Rule depending on the usage of the Divine Rule. Skills: Blood Clones, Blood Regeneration,... ¡­ ''His ispletely on a different level.'' Twilight frowned when he saw the full information on Ryan and knew that it would be very difficult to defeat Ryan. ''However, I still need to win the duel against him at any cost.'' With that thought in mind, Twilight started thinking of the counterattacks for Ryan''s every skill and move, hoping that he could beat Ryan. ''In this battle, I have two advantages. One is the awakening percentage of my Divine Dark Rule is 20 percent higher than his Divine Bloodline. So, I can keep my Divine Dark Rule for longer.'' ''As for the second advantage, with the help of the [Heavenly Dragon Insights], I know all his skills, Divine Rule and Bloodline.'' Thinking of these two advantages, Twilight felt that his chances of winning would be higher than he originally thought. ''Moreover, there is a heaven-defying move that I could use it against him and I should make sure to waste his skills with that move.'' The more Twilight thinks about his moves and his opponent''s moves, the more confident Twilight bes as he cannot waste to fight Ryan. [The fight between the Twilight Dragonling and the Blood Dragonling will officially begin now] The 5-minute preparation time was over in no time as the battle for the champion of the trial had begun. ¡­. [Blood ws] [Dragon ws] As soon as the duel between Twilight and Ryan officially started, no one wasted any time as Twilight and Ryan used their basic attacks to rest each other''s strength. ''ng'' The red-coloured and the ck-coloured ws shed as the metallic sound resounded in the world and their first attack ended up as a draw. "Not bad¡­not bad. You must be close to Lynn''s battle prowess." Ryan nodded his head at Twilight and muttered, "If it was not thest day of the trial, I would have dragged the fight for at least five hours; however, now, I just want to end the fight and get the championship for this year''s Trial of the Divine Dragons." As soon as he finished his words, Ryan bit his palm as many drops of blood rushed out from his palm. [Blood Clones] Every single drop of blood transformed into his clone and rushed at Twilight. ''Swoosh'' There were nearly 100 blood clones and all of them have the strength of 80 percent of Ryan''s battle prowess. Hence, Ryan was confident in taking Twilight unless he had a trump card like Divine Rule. On the other hand, Twilight remained calm andposed while looking at 100 Ryans running at him with blood ws, aiming to kill him in just one attack. "It was the same for me and I don''t want to waste any time fighting with you." After saying these words, Twilight didn''t hesitate to activate his Divine Dark Rule. ''[Divine Dark Rule], activate.'' Since it''s been more than five days since Twilight activated his Divine Rule after using it for less than 10 seconds, no one was surprised that Twilight was able to activate the Divine Dark Rule again. Instead, they were looking forward to seeing how long he wouldst against Ryan. [Divine Protection] While muttering the name of a passive skill, Twilight sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Chapter 1776 Ryan Versus Twilight (2) ? [Divine Protection] is a passive skill that Twilight gained after bing an Emperor Realm Beast. To trigger that passive skill, all Twilight needed to do was close his eyes and not move from his ce and no attack could harm him. Even though he could use that skill without activating the Divine Dark Rule, he wanted to increase the duration of the skill. Without the Divine Dark Rule, the [Divine Protection] willst for only one minute with his current cultivation; however, with the help of the Divine Dark Rule, he could keep it active for ten minutes. ''Swoosh'' Ryan''s hundreds of clones rushed at Twilight and started attacking Twilight; however, no attacknded on Twilight, making Ryan pleasantly surprised. As for the onlookers, when they saw Twilight sitting with his eyes closed, they knew what he was trying to do. So, no one was surprised. "You got a cool skill there; however, it''s useless as I know it has a limited time period." Ryan''s clones attacked Twilight as his main body spoke with him, "However, you can''t keep your Divine Dark Rule activated for a long time, right?" Even though he was impressed by Twilight''s move, Ryan knew it was useless in front of him. ''I wonder whether I can stillnd an attack on him in his current condition.'' Ryan was not worried about using all his skills because he still had two of his trump cards, the bloodline and the Divine Rule that he could use to defeat Twilight with ease. However, he thought that it would be nice to break Twilight''s skill andnd an attack on him. [Dragon Blood Cannon] [Blood Energy Burst] [Blood Clone Merging] With that thought in mind, Ryan started using one skill after another, trying to injure Twilight. However, no matter how powerful that attack was, it waspletely useless on Twilight who was having his eyes closed with a slight smile on his face. ''Is he smiling at my attacks?'' Seeing how calm and even maintained a smile on his face, Ryan became a little frustrated at Twilight; however, he didn''t bother to use any of his trump cards yet. Because, if his trump cards were also useless on Twilight who was sitting with his eyes closed, then it would be an end for him. Hence, he controlled his frustration as he continued to use all his powerful attacks except for the two trump cards. Another five minutes passed by and Ryan was still unable to do anything to Twilight and Twilight was also not willing to move from his ce. Moreover, he didn''t even bother to open his eyes at all which made Ryan frustrated at him. ''I think my Bloodline could make him suffer a bit.'' Even though only five minutes had passed by, for Ryan, it felt like many hours. The thing is, in a fight, if the other party was fighting with him, Ryan would have not felt like that; however, Twilight was not at all fighting him. It was him, who was using all kinds of skills and attacks, making him feel that he was spending a lot of time. ''Damn it¡­how much percentage did he awaken his Divine Rule?'' Even Lynn, who was supposed to be the second strongest in the trial was able to activate his Divine Rule by five minutes and currently, the Darkhorse of the trial, the Twilight Dragonling had activated his Divine Dark Rule by five minutes. What''s more, he didn''t even bother to attack Ryan for the entire time even after activating the Divine Rule. In the end, Ryan could not hold himself back and decided to use his bloodline. [Blood Dragon Emperor''s Bloodline] Since the duration of the bloodline was one hour, Ryan felt it was not a big deal to use the Bloodline''s boost to defeat Twilight. ''Swoosh'' With the activation of the bloodline, the aura emitted by Ryan increased by 10 times as he felt quite powerful. "Now, let''s see whether my bloodline can break his skill." With that thought in mind, Ryan once again used all his skills andpared to before, all his skills were 10 times stronger. However, still, Ryan was unable to do anything against Twilight as the smile on Twilight''s face increased, making Ryan furious. It was the first time that an opponent revealed a mockingugh at him amidst the fight. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 10 minutes passed by since Twilight activated his Divine Rule. During these 10 minutes, Ryan did everything he could and still could notnd a single attack on Twilight. ''It looks like I have made him quite frustrated. It''s time to fight.'' Since his skill [Divine Protection] will be deactivated soon, Twilight decided to fight Ryan; however, he still didn''t open his eyes as he was waiting for the right moment. ''I have to be fast and execute my n before he realizes what''s happening.'' Twilight used his Bestial Consciousness to keep an eye on Ryan and noticed that Ryan wasing at him to use another one of his attacks. As for his Blood Clones, they disappeared after five minutes of activating that skill. So, he could only use his main body to attack Twilight. ''He ising.'' [Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon Trasnformation] Twilight readied himself as he took a deep breath and just when Ryan was close to him, Twilight''s human body transformed into a 10 feet huge dragon and in the middle of the transformation, Twilight swiped his long and sharp dragon ws at Ryan. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' On the other hand, Ryan was not expecting Twilight to counter-attack him after sitting silent for more than 10 minutes. Nevertheless, he dodged the attack from iing ws¡­at least he didn''t want his critical organs to receive any injury. Along the process, Ryan''s shoulder was scratched by the ws, making a somewhat deep cut. "Finally¡­you are willing to fight¡­Good." Even though he received a cut, Ryan was not bothered by it; instead, he was happy to see that Twilight was fighting back. "Yeah¡­finally, it is time to put an end to the fight¡­Hehe." On the other hand, Twilight revealed a cunning smile on his face as the n he devised was well executed by him. Chapter 1777 Ryan Versus Twilight (3) ? "It looks like your skill has reached its limit." When he heard Twilight''s words, Ryan felt something was off; however, he felt that Twilight was bluffing. Moreover, when Ryan thinks about his Divine Blood Rule and the powerful skill connected to it, he bes even more confident and doesn''t take Twilight''s words seriously. "Yeah¡­it had reached its limit." Twilight was currently in his true dragon form which was a huge dark and purple-coloured Dragon as he agreed with Ryan''s words. "Since that''s the case, let''s put an end to this battle." As soon as he said that, Ryan didn''t waste any time as he directly activated his Divine Blood Rule. Even though he was confident in winning against Twilight, deep down, he was worried that Twilight might have some weird skills like the ones that he had used for thest ten minutes. Also, the other party looks very confident and thus, Ryan didn''t want to take any risk and lose the fight by holding himself back. ''[Divine Blood Rule], activate.'' With that thought in mind, Ryan directly activated the Divine Rule and in the next second, the aura emitted by Ryan became so powerful that Twilight could already feel a powerful suppressinging from Ryan''s body. "Now, I am curious about what kind of powerful move you will use against me that gives you so much confidence." After activating the Divine Rule, Ryan''s worries disappeared as he asked Twilight to use all kinds of trump cards he had. Ryan wanted to win the trial at any cost; however, at the same time, he was hoping to find someone who could break through his powerful bloodline and Divine Rulebination. Although he had yet to use his skill [Heavenly Dragon Suppression], Ryan could activate it with a simple thought. So, he wanted to see whether Twilight had skills that could make him threaten after activating both his bloodline and the Divine Rule. ''Lynn was the only one among the younger generation that made me use the [Heavenly Dragon Supression] and it looks like my current opponent also will make me use it.'' When he was fighting or sparring with the other dragonlings, Ryan mostly didn''t have a chance to use his Divine Blood Rule and only a few dragons that were above 1000 years old could make them use both Divine Blood Rule and the Bloodline. Among the dragonlings, other than Lynn, the Lightning Dragonling, Ryan believed that Twilight would make him use the [Heavenly Dragon Suppression]. For regr dragons, the moment Ryan activated the Divine Blood Rule and his bloodline, they would instantly give up the fight because of the suppression. However, Twilight was still fine and was even pping his wings without any problem. "Since you are asking for it, I have prepared my own special move for you." On the other hand, Twilight was calm even though he felt some pressure but it was within a limit. Instead, he replied with an evil look in his eyes as he licked the blood on his ws. "It''s time to put you to sleep." While licking the blood, Twilight silently activated his skill, ''[Nightmare Dragon], activate.'' From the beginning, Twilight nned to use the [Nightmare Dragon] skill that was under his Divine Dark Rule because it was the most powerful skill that could help him win the fight no matter how powerful the enemy was. However, the condition to activate the skill was to drink the opponent''s blood¡­even a single drop of blood would be counted. With Ryan''s battle experience and skills, it was almost impossible tond an attack on him, much less injuring him and drinking his blood. Hence, Twilight devised a n to make Ryan as frustrated as possible beforeunching a surprise attack when Ryan least expected an attack on him. Even though it took more than 10 minutes toplete his n, Twilight was happy to sessfully execute the n. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Twilight activated his skill [Nightmare Dragon], Ryan felt a little dizzy. ''It might be the trump card that he was nning. I should defeat him.'' Before Twilight''s skill couldpletely activate, Ryan knew that Twilight used a mysterious skill to put him to sleep. Hence, Ryan decided to defeat him and wrap up the rankings of the Trial. [Heavenly Dragon Suppression] ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the aura emitted by Ryan reached another level and Twilight instantly copsed to the ground from mid-air. ''Damn it¡­this skill is more powerful than I imagined.'' With the help of the [Heavenly Dragon Insights], Twilight already knew that Ryan''s powerful skill was [Heavenly Dragon Suppression]; however, after experiencing the attack, Twilight realized that his overestimation of the skill was still an underestimation. ''I can do this¡­I can endure this much pressure for the sake of my Dark Region Adventures.'' Twilight didn''t bother to go against the pressure; instead, he was trying to go along with it. Initially, the pressure emitted by Ryan made Twilight attach to the ground like he was in a gravitational force field. So, he let his entire body attach to the ground and he slowly moved his wings around his body like an egg. ''I just need to wait for a few seconds and once the [Nightmare Dragon] fully takes effect on him, he will enter the Nightmare he wanted to avoid.'' Gritting his teeth, Twilight endured the pressure emitted by Ryan and of course, he was not worried that Ryan would attack him in his current situation because the skill [Nightmare Dragon] had already taken effect. ''Thud'' After enduring the pressure from Ryan for a few moments, Twilight heard a ''thud'' sound and knew that Ryan had finally copsed to the ground. At the same time, Twilight no longer felt any pressure on his body, making him look peek through his wings. Only when he saw that Ryan was sleeping on the ground, Twilight heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to make sure he controlled the nightmare that Ryan was having in his sleep right now. Chapter 1778 [Bonus ] Nightmare Dragon ? In the Cultivation Chamber, Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Ding, The host''s Divine Jade Rule hase out of the cooldown. As Twilight was trying his best to get the first ce in the trial, Ajax was working towards his goal of increasing the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Amidst his hard work, Ajax received the system notification regarding the reset of his Divine Jade Rule. ''Finally, it hase out of the cooldown.'' Ajax didn''t open his eyes as he silently activated his Divine Rule, ''Divine Jade Rule, activate.'' ''Swoosh'' With the activation of the Divine Jade Rule, Ajax felt his body was full of power; however, currently, Ajax doesn''t have any use regarding that power. Instead, the reason why he activated the Divine Jade Rule was to use the skill under the Divine Jade Rule. [Divne Jade Rule - Jade Energy Burst] ''Ding, With the activation of the skill [Jade Energy Burst], the host''s cultivation speed will be increased by 10 timespared to his current speed which was at 1000 times. Soon, Ajax''s cultivation speed increased to 10,000 times and for the next 5 five minutes, Ajax could absorb 10,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature for every one minute. ''Ding, The host has absorbed 10,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host¡­ . . . Time continued to pass and in a sh, five minutes passed by as Ajax gained 50,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature before the skill [Jade Energy Burst] was deactivated. Ajax didn''t bother to waste any time as he continued to cultivate for another five minutes and once again activated the skill [Jade Energy Burst]. In the next five minutes, Ajax was able to get another 50,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and adding all the Divine Essence of Nature that Ajax collected after activating the Divine Rule was 105000 units which filled his entire Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''System, use it and increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax silently gave the order and in the next second, all the units of the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness disappeared. ''Ding, The host has used 105000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature on his Divine Spirit Consciousness and upgraded his Divine Spirit Consciousness by 1050 units. ''Ding, The Divine Spirit Consciousness: 0 / 106050 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, the system informed him about the increase in his Divine Spirit consciousness along with his total capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''I have longpleted the goal that I set for myself and at this pace, I only need two months in this cultivation chamber to increase my capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness to one million units.'' Just thinking about that made Ajax excited because once he had such a capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness, he would not only have an easier time tempering his own body but the 100 old men that he was nning to nurture into Divine Body Cultivators. ''With the amount of Divine Essence of Nature I absorb in a day, I can easily fulfil the body tempering with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature; however, I want to do it on the Floating Ind.'' In a single day, Ajax could absorb more than one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature which was quite enough for him to fulfil thest requirement for converting his Regr Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. ''Since it''s been seven days since I entered the Cultivation Chamber, I think the Trial of the Divine Dragons must being to an end.'' ording to his n, Ajax thought of staying in the Cultivation Chamber for 9-10 days; however, since he had alreadypleted his goal, Ajax wanted to leave the cultivation chamber. However, before that, he nned to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness with the Divine Essence of Nature. If he hadn''t taken a break afterpleting his goal, then Ajax believed that there wouldn''t be any reason for creating the goals in the first ce. Hence, Ajax wanted to take a break toplete his goal and leave the Cultivation Chamber. ''I wonder how Twilight was doing in the trial? With his strength and skills¡­especially with his 30 percent awakened Divine Dark Rule, no one would be his match, right?'' Ajax wanted to know the result of the Trial of the Divine Dragons; however, he knew there was still half a day left for the trial to be officiallypleted. ''Let''s go out of the Cultivation Chamber after two hours.'' In two hours, Ajax could easily fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness which has a capacity of more than 100000 units. Therefore, he decided to cultivate for another two hours before going out of the cultivation chamber. ¡­.. In one of the Trial Words, ''Let''s make him believe that he won the trial of the Divine Dragons.'' Twilight closed his eyes and controlled the dream that Ryan was currently dreaming right now and soon, he thought of an excellent idea, making Twilight reveal a cunning smile. Currently, in his dream, Ryan was fully covered in blood and opposite him, Twilight was standing with a mocking look on his face. ''On the ount of your Great Grandfather, I will let you win this trial of the Divine Dragons; however, I wonder, how long will you live by using your Great Grandfather''s name?'' After saying these words, Twilight says, ''I admit defeat.'' ''Congrattions to the Blood Dragonling for winning this year''s [Trial of the Divine Dragons].'' Ryan heard the familiar voice that announced the results of the [Trial of the Divine Dragons] and even on the face of that old man, Ryan sensed that he was looking down on him. ''I thought Ryan was a True Divine Dragon; however, it looks like he was not even considered a Dragon.'' ''The True Divine Dragon will be Twilight. If not for the Blood Dragon Emperor''s powerful warning, he would have won the fight with ease.'' Time flew in a sh as Ryan continued to hear all kinds of whispers and rumours about him no matter where he went. Chapter 1779 End Of The Trial ? Finally, Ryan reached a point where he could not bear the whispers as massacred everyone in the city and became a ughterer. In a split second, Ryan became a ughterer, making the whispers disappear; however, the good name he had earned in his 100 years of life disappeared with that act. Soon, inner demons started forming in his heart and his cultivation reached a bottleneck where he could not even increase his Divine Blood Rule''s awakening percentage. Time continued to pass and those who participated in the Trial of the Divine Dragons with him sessfully ascended to Heavenly Bestial Realm and even the ones who were 100 years younger also started achieving the feat of ascending. The great grandfather who was proud of him became embarrassed and didn''t even bother to see him, not to mention talk with him. In the entire universe, no one was interested in him, except for one dragon and it was none other than Twilight. ''Didn''t you already ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm?'' Looking at Twilight, Ryan asked with a confused look on his face. ''Since you are not my enemy, I will let you off here. However, with your battle prowess, we can be friends and fight from time to time to improve ourselves.'' However, Twilight didn''t answer Ryan''s question; instead, he said something that Ryan didn''t understand. ''What are you saying?'' ''Don''t worry, you will understand about it soon.'' With a slight smile on his face, Twilight flew close to Ryan and lightly tapped Ryan''s forehead. During that entire time, Ryan was unable to move his body, making him shocked as he gave up thinking, ''Twilight had already ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. So, he must be powerful.'' ''Thud'' In the next second, Ryan''s entire body copsed onto the ground. ¡­. Reality, "I am done with the fight. You can check him and announce the result." In reality, Twilight was still 100 meters away from Ryan and looking at Ryan''s body on the ground that was still unconscious, Twilight asked the old man to check on him. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the Old Inspector of the Trial appeared and checked on Ryan under the shocked gazes of the onlookers. Everyone was shocked to see Ryan fall to the ground while Twilight remained perfectly alright! They thought that the moment Ryan activated his trump card, Twilight would lose the fight and Ryan would win the trial; however, unexpectedly, Ryan fell to the ground whereas Twilight was still standing. [The winner of the duel between the Blood Dragonling and the Twilight Dragonling is Twilight Dragonling] [He will receive the 98000 Blood Dragonling''s Darkfire Crystals and the total number of Darkfire Crystals in Twilight Dragonling''s storage ring has crossed 200000] Soon, the Old Inspector announced the results, making everyone who was watching the trial extremely shocked. ''Ryan lost just like that?'' ''What did Twilight do to Ryan for him to lose his consciousness?'' . . . All the onlookers started talking about it and trying to find out what Twilight did to Ryan to defeat. Since Ryan was not injured at all andpletey fine, he was not eliminated from the trial; however, with no Darkfire Crystals left, he was at the bottom ce of the rankings which was rank 6. Time continued to pass and in a sh, the day hade to an end as the Old Inspector''s voice resounded in all the trial worlds. [The Trial of the Divine Dragons has finallye to an end. You can stop killing the Darkfire Wraiths and even if you collect more Darfire Crystals, your Storage Rings won''t ept any more crystals] [The rankings are as follows] 1) Twilight, the Twilight Dragonling, 201000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 2) Imp, the Frost Dragonling, 43500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) Evan, the Forest Dragonling, 30000 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 4) Tye, the Stormfire Wyvernling, 12500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 5) Reg, the Primordial Dragonling, 12333 low-level Darkfire Crystals. 6) Ryan, the Blood Dragonling, 18500 low-level Darkfire Crystals. Soon, the rankings of the Trial of the Divine Dragons were finalized. Everyone was happy except for the Blood Dragon Emperor who was expecting that his great-grandson would win the Trial of the Divine Dragons. Not only did he increase the rewards in the Prizepool but he also cheated a little by asking one of his subordinates to ce the Divine Dragon g within Ryan''s reach. That''s how Ryan was able to find the Divine Dragon g on thest day of the trial and was able to challenge Twilight for a duel. ''Sigh¡­this match is going to affect him a lot.'' However, when Ryder thought about it, he didn''t feel bad about the rewards; instead, he was worried about Ryan because he didn''t know how Ryan would take the result of this match. If he takes it negatively, it is going to affect his ascension to the Heavenly Bestial Realm and that''s what Ryder was worried about. ''Phew¡­finally, I can surprise master with my ranking and I can brag how I defeated a participant who could suppress all the dragons in this universe.'' Initially, Twilight thought that fighting a group of Dragonlings would be a piece of cake with his 30 percent awakened Divine Rule; however, the fight was not very easy¡­especially his fight with Ryan. If not for his [Heavenly Dragon Insights], Twilight would have lost the fight and ended up in sixth ce in the trial which gets him only the minimum rewards. [All the participants can return to their worlds. The rewards from the trial would be given to your sponsors. So, you can collect those rewards from them] Soon, the old man informed the six participants in the Dark Worlds to return to their worlds and soon, they used the Return Stone to return to their worlds. ¡­ In Greater Jade Dragon World, ''Swoosh'' A light shed as a young man in purple robes appeared with an excited and proud look on his face. "Congrattions, Twilight." As soon as Twilight appeared in the Greater Jade Dragon World, he heard Ajax''s voice, "Since you have kept your end of the promise, I will keep my end of the promise." Chapter 1780 Refining [Heavens Mandate Pill] ? "I will be waiting, Brother Ajax." Twilight was happy to hear Ajax''s words and looking forward to his Dark Region Adventures. "Congrattions, Twilight." "Congrattions, Little Brother Twilight." Soon, Draven, Jaed and others congratted Twilight with excited smiles on their faces. Since Twilight was representing their Greater Jade Dragon World, it was considered that this world has won the trial this year and it was an achievement for the world and its natives. "Twilight, you must be tired after working hard for the trial. Why don''t you go and take a rest for now." Ajax asked Twilight to rest for a day because he had some minor things he needed to talk about with the Jade Emperor. ''...'' Draven and others who watched Twilight''s entire performance in the trial could not help but be speechless when they heard Ajax''s words. During the entire trial, Twilight worked hard for the first two days and on thest day of the trial. As for the remaining days, he was just sleeping without a care in the world. Nevertheless, they still don''t say anything because Twilight has won the trial and the other things, they don''t have to think much about them. "Yes, Brother." Twilight didn''t say that he was not tired; instead, he went along with Ajax''s words because he wanted to make Ajax believe that he had worked hard in the trial to get first ce. So that, in the future, he could get good things and at the same time, Ajax would let him loose on their adventures. "We will also take over leave, Your Majesty." Along with Twilight, the upper echelon of the Jade Dragon World left after informing Draven. "Ajax, the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons will arrive tomorrow." After sending everyone, Draven informed Ajax about the rewards and at the same time, he said, "Also, I have collected all the ingredients for the Heaven''s Mandate Pill. If you have some free time, you can refine them." "Already? Uncle Draven, it looks like your connections are good." Ajax was surprised for a moment when he heard Draven already had the ingredients. "Haha¡­I have lived long enough in the Dragon Region and was lucky enough to get some good connections. That''s how I was able to get 10 sets of ingredients for the Heaven''s Mandate Pill." Even though Draven was old and was about to ascend, he could not help but brag in front of Ajax because he was really proud of his connections that no one in the entire Dragon Region had. "What? 10 sets of Ingredients?" Earlier, Ajax was only a little surprised; however, when he heard that Draven had collected 10 sets of ingredients, Ajax was thoroughly shocked. "Don''t worry, before I ascend, I will select a few close ones from those connections. With your resources, you can be really close to them in no time." In this universe, for a cultivator, having connections would speed up their cultivation and in the time of crisis, those connections would help him¡­of course, a cultivator could also use the time of crisis to filter out their connections. So, Draven thought about it and with Ajax''s cultivation resources, he could exchange them for the other resources that he didn''t have to increase his cultivation and strength. Hence, Draven decided to help Ajax connect with some of his few trusted aides. "Thank you, Uncle Draven." Ajax thanked the Jade Dragon Emperor from the bottom of his heart because he really needed some good connections that he could trust. "Of course, I still suggest you keep your identity a secret and don''t reveal it so easily¡­at least until you be a peak-level Emperor Realm cultivator with more than 50 percent of awakening." "With such a strength, even though it won''t help you kill multiple cultivators at the same time, you can use that strength to escape. Anyway, I suggest you be careful until you have a 90 percent awakening of your Divine Rule. This universe is much more dangerous than it looks. You never know when the closest friend you trusted your entire life will backstab you." . . . Draven gave a few more warnings and suggestions to Ajax so that, Ajax wouldn''t have a hard time after the Jade Dragon Emperor ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Thank you for all your tips and suggestions, Uncle Draven. I will keep everything in mind." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile on his face and asked, "Shall I start refining the pills for you?" With 10 sets of ingredients, Ajax believed that he would be sessful in at least five of them and even if he could refine 10 pills per batch, it would be 50 pills. Among the 50 pills, Uncle Draven said that he only wanted two pills, one for him and the other one for his wife. So, with 48 pills, Ajax could help half of his old followers ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm. "Let''s go. I will guide you to the alchemy room." Even though the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons were good, for Uncle Draven, who was about to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Heaven Mandate Pills were the only things that he and his wife needed. As for his son, he had already made enough preparations and as long as he cultivated properly for a few dozens of years, he would easily ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. In the Alchemy Room, After entering the Alchemy Room, Ajax cleared all the thoughts in his mind for a few minutes and started working on the first set of ingredients for the Heaven''s Mandate Pill. ''Swoosh'' ''This looks much easier than the pills I refined in the King Realm.'' In no time Ajax extracted the essence from the ingredients and cleansed all the impurities in them. Soon, he created his cauldron which was made up of fire and followed the procedure in his head. ''Boom'' Just when he thought everything was going smoothly, there was an explosion as his fire cauldron exploded and the half-baked pill paste sshed everywhere. ''Ding, The host failed in refining Heaven''s Mandate Pill and gained one experience point. Refining Experience: 1 / one million experience points. ***** StryderAdon, thanks for the BIG GIFT. I was feeling a little ill these days and thus the chapter schedule was messed up. I hope you won''t mind as I will maintain the steady upgrades of three chapters per day soon. Chapter 1781 Refining Heaven’s Mandate Pill (2)

Chapter 1781 Refining Heaven''s Mandate Pill (2)

The first pill refinement of the [Heaven''s Mandate Pill] failed; however, Ajax was not surprised because refining the emperor realm pills was much more difficult than any other pills. Initially, when the process was going smoothly, Ajax was already feeling that there was something wrong. Moreover, when there was a pill explosion, Ajax felt a wave of heat energy and if Ajax didn''t undergo the body tempering with five sentient mes, it would have been a little troublesome for Ajax. ''Anyway, let''s resume the process.'' Since the cauldron Ajax used doesn''t require any cleaning, he could directly start his second pill refinement of the [Heaven''s Mandate Pill]. Just like before, the process was smooth; however, Ajax still didn''t let his guard down as he carefully continued to refine the pills. ''Ding, The host seeded in refining Heaven''s Mandate Pills and gained 100 experience points. Refining Experience: 101 / one million experience points. Under Ajax''s careful pill refinement, it took more than one hour to sessfully refine a batch of Heaven''s Mandate Pills. Compared to the failure, seeding in the pill refinement gave Ajax 100 experience points. ''I need one million experience points to reach the next realm after the Alchemy Emperor. I wonder what that realm would be¡­Divine Alchemist? Immortal Alchemist? Heavenly Alchemist?'' Looking at the experience bar on the notification window, Ajax could not help but think about the realm after the Alchemy Emperor. Just like in the cultivation, no one has any idea regarding the realm after the Emperor. Some believed that it would be a Divine Realm and some argued that since they would be ascending to the Heavenly Realms, the cultivation system in those realms would have ''Heavenly'' term in them. There was even someone who imed that since a peak emperor realm cultivator could live for 10,000 years without any prolonging treasures, afterpleting the Lightning Tribtion and ascending to the Heavenly Realm, they would be Immortals that could live forever unless they were killed by external forces. Hence, it was very much believed that the cultivation realm after the Emperor Realm would be either the God Realm or the Immortal Realm. ''Who cares what realm there is¡­let''s just focus on my goals and when the timees, I will learn about them.'' Ajax shook his head as he stopped thinking about them before checking out the pills in the fire cauldron. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, the fire cauldron unwrapped itself into a sheet as 15 shining white-coloured pills were lying on it. ''What? 15 pills?'' Ajax was expecting only 10 pills and looking at the 15 perfect-shaped pills, he could not help but get shocked. However, it didn''t take much time for that shock to turn into excitement as he started to refine the remaining sets of the Heaven''s Mandate Pills. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host failed in refining Heaven''s Mandate Pills and gained one experience point. Refining Experience: 102 / one million experience points. Third Pill Refinement Failed. Fourth and Fifth Pill Refinements were sessful. Sixth and Seventh Pill Refinements failed and after that, the remaining three refinements were sessful. ''Ding, The host seeded in refining Heaven''s Mandate Pills and gained 100 experience points. Refining Experience: 604 / one million experience points. ''Ding, Heaven''s Mandate Pills: 90 pills. By the time Ajaxpleted his little refining session, half a day had passed and he ended up having 90 pills. ''After giving two pills to Uncle Draven and Aunt Jane, I will still have 88 pills which was enough to let 87 of my followers increase their chances to ascend to the Heavenly Realm by 10 percent.'' Of course, even though he was confident that he could sessfully endure the Lightning Tribtion, Ajax still didn''t want to take a chance when it was rted to his ascension. Even the smallest mistake during the Lightning Tribtion could lead to the death of the cultivator and Ajax didn''t want to make such mistakes. Also, if any resources could increase his sess rate by one percent and it was within his reach, Ajax wouldn''t hesitate to use them. When ites to bing stronger, Ajax believed that one should not think about others and focus solely on himself. As for others, once he bes stronger, he could make up for them by providing more cultivation resources. "Now, it''s time to go out and give the Heaven''s Mandate Pills to Uncle Draven. Also, I think the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons must have arrived already." Thinking about the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons, Ajax could not help but be excited. ¡­ "Uncle Draven, here are the pills." Without wasting any time, Ajax directly gave the two Heaven''s Mandate Pills to the Jade Dragon Emperor. "Thank you, Ajax." Uncle Draven was not surprised by Ajax''s abilities any longer¡­at least that''s what the Jade Dragon Emperor believed as he took the two pills and carefully ced them in his storage ring. "Uncle has helped me with enough things and these Heaven''s Mandate Pills are a small repayment of mine." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied and before Draven could say anything, he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, have the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons arrived?" "Haha¡­it looks like you are very much interested in the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons." The Jade Dragon Emperor knew that Ajax was interested in those rewards; however, what Ajax had with him was much more valuable. For example, Ajax had the World Cores and the Greater Crystals. These two cultivation resources were the top-notch resources in the universe. So, seeing how excited Ajax was regarding the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons, the Jade Dragon Emperor could not help but feel odd. Nevertheless, he didn''t think too much about it and nodded his head, "The rewards of the Prizepool have arrived just now. Here you go." Saying that, the Jade Dragon Emperor took a space ring out of nowhere as he tossed it at Ajax and when Ajax looked at the items inside them, he could not wait to go back to his world and check them out. Chapter 1782 Rewards

Chapter 1782 Rewards

Once he got the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons, Ajax didn''t waste much time in the world as he brought Twilight with him and entered the Normal Darwe World. Since it''s been more than a week, the teleportation circle connecting the Greater Jade Dragon World and the Normal Dwarven World has been sessfullypleted. ''Normal Elven World.'' Ajax didn''t stay in the Normal Dwarven World for much longer as he quietly entered his Normal Elven World. Ajax wanted to peacefully check out the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Worlds and at the same time, he also wanted to use the 10000 drops of nt Essence that he saved in the past for the Lesser World Tree in the world. "Master." As soon as the Emperor Realm Elves sensed Ajax''s arrival, they appeared in front of Ajax and bowed. Currently, in these words, there were more than 1000 Emperor Realm Elves and all of them were awarded to him by the system. Even though it was a question mark for Ajax in the past regarding where these Elves hade from, after learning about the system and his father''s past, Ajax could guess where they hade from. All the rewards that Ajax had received from the system so far came from Ajax''s father who stored the things back when he was in his first incarnation, Aron. Even though he used some of them when he was in his second incarnation, he still kept most of them for the future when he left the Purple Stone World. However, because the Purple Stone World was always in danger thanks to the Demon Invasion, even though Vaugh had an opportunity to go out of the Purple Stone World, he put those ns on hold and wanted to take care of the Demons first. Eventually, he had to sacrifice not only his life but even his wife had to sacrifice to stop the Demons from invading the Purple Stone World. Nevertheless, on hisst breath, he gave the system to his son who was less than one month old and attached his soul to the system. As for all the rewards in the system, Ajax got them one by one whenever he had met the requirements or bypleting the mission issued by the system. Among those rewards, these Forest Elves were also one of them who swore their loyalty to Aron. Since they were a powerful force, Aron decided to keep them inside the system using some methods and before he could meet the requirements to unlock these Emperor Realm Elves in his second life, Aron died again. Anyway, in the end, it was Ajax who was able to meet the requirements for the system to reward him with those elves. ''First, I will check out the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons before nurturing the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree with an age of 10000 years.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax sent away the Elves that came to greet him before sitting down. Unlike the Normal Dwarven World, Ajax didn''t have a pce for him in this world; however, he was not worried too much about the privacy in this world. Except for him and a 1000 Forest Elves who swore their loyalty to him, no one else was in the world. As for the invasion from the outside world, Ajax worried even less because almost all his worlds were on the borders of the Human Region and the Demon Region. Currently, everyone is preparing for the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm and won''t travel to the borders to get the resources because if they focus on the Exploration Missions in their current situation, they won''t go back in time to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. Moreover, there was an Emperor Realm Barrier around the Normal Elven World that would stop the regr Emperor Realm Cultivators and even if some powerful cultivators try to destroy the barrier, Ajax would be informed and with Ajax''s current strength, he was confident in protecting the world from almost all the dangers unless the World Emperors of the Greater Worlds or the Sect Leaders of the Top Sects makes a move on his world. ''With their strength, they won''t be interested in attacking a Normal Elven World.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he kept all those thoughts aside before saying, ''Anyway, I should check out the rewards from the Trial of the Divine Dragons now.'' ''System, project the list of rewards in the storage ring.'' Soon, Ajax ordered the system and the system projected a list in front of Ajax. ''Ding, The items in the storage ring are: 1) Divine Dragon Fruit: A Special Mythical Grade fruit that helps the Dragons in awakening a random Divine Rule belonging to the Dragon Race. Note: There is a small chance of awakening a Divine Rule from the Ancient Dragon Race. 2) 10 Giant Darkfire Crystals along with one million high-level Darkfire Crystals. 3) A 100-year-old Lesser World Tree along with 10000 drops of nt Essence. 4) Heavenly Dragon Meridian Fruit: A Special Mythical Grade Fruit that can help anyone, whether it is a human, beast or demon, in transforming their cultivation talent and potential of a Heavenly Dragon. Note: It can only be used on those who have yet to cultivate. 5) 100 top-quality Bloodline Awakening Pills and 10 Giant Jade Crystals. 6) 10 Normal World Cores. 7) A chance to enter the Sea of Lightning in the Greater Lightning Dragon World: It is quite useful in increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Lightning Rule. 8) Void Ship: A Mythical Grade Treasure that helps the owner of the Void Ship, travel to the other worlds at an incredible speed. Along the journey, it could even teleport thousands of kilometers, making it faster to reach the other worlds sooner. 9) Immortal Poison Dragon''s Pendant: A Mythical Grade Treasure that could give immunity to all the poisons in the universe that were Emperor Grade or below. 10) Fire Search Compass. Chapter 1783 Fire Search Compass ? Looking at the list of the items that the system projected in front of him, Ajax could not help but reveal an excited smile. ''Even though there are some useless items like Giant Darkfire Crystals, Bloodline Awakening Pills, and Giant Jade Crystals, the other items would be very useful to me.'' The Heavenly Dragon Meridian Fruit can be used by either his father or Snow and as for the Divine Dragon Fruit, it was custom-made for Twilight. Since Ajax considers everyone as one, the items that were only used by them could also be considered useful to him. The stronger they were, the more assured Ajax would be. ''With the Void Ship, I can travel to new worlds more freely and it would be greatly useful for my Dark Region Adventures.'' After taking control of the Golden Demon Territory in the universe, Ajax was less focused on collecting the world cores because whenever he needed a World Core, he could just enter the Golden Demon Territory and pick some world cores. Moreover, among the rewards he received from the Trial of the Divine Dragons, there were 10 Normal World Cores which he didn''t think much about and directly merged into Greater World Cores. ''Ding, Smaller Word Cores: 20 Normal World Cores: 1 Greater World Cores: 6 Divine World Core: 1 With the addition of a Greater World Core, Ajax had umted 6 Greater World Cores and as long as he had another four Greater World Cores, he could merge them into another Divine World Core. ''As of now, I only need one Divine World Core; however, I am very sure that my future cultivation needs more Divine World Cores. So, it is better to have as many Divine World Cores as possible.'' The Divine World Core was one of the requirements for Ajax to convert his regr spirit cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation. After that, he still has to break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm and high-level Emperor Realm. Also, a Greater World Core can increase the awakening percentage of a newly awakened Divine Rule by as high as 10 percent and Ajax believed that even when the awakening percentage crosses more than 50 percent, it could at least increase by 5 percent. ''If a Greater World Core could achieve something like that, then a Divine World Core which was one grade higher than Greater World could achieve more than that, right?'' With this thought in mind, Ajaxpletely suppressed his thought of using the Greater World Cores to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. ''Anyway, I just need to wait for some time to convert my spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and then, I can find out the requirements for my next breakthrough.'' Since it was taking some time to sessfully convert his Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation, Ajax focused on the requirements for Divine Spirit Cultivation, hoping that the requirements would remain the same with a little bit of difficulty. For example, one of the requirements needed him to have his Divin Spirit Consciousness a capacity of 1000 units and right now, Ajax had already broken through the capacity of 100,000 units and he was nning to increase it to one million. As for the second requirement, it was a single Divine World Core; however, Ajax was guessing that he would need more than one Divine World Core and he was nning to increase the quantity of his World Core during his Dark Region Adventures. The Dark Region was filled with millions of worlds with all grades, waiting for Ajax to farm for the crystals, and world cores along with the treasures hidden in those Dark Worlds of the Dark Region. ''However, what I am worried about the most is the Divine Grade Fruit.'' The first two requirements seemed to be within Ajax''s limit and Ajax didn''t have much difficulty in fulfilling them; however, it won''t be the case with the Divine Grade Fruit. He was already struggling to get a single Divine Grade Fruit and if his future breakthroughs asked for more Divine Grade Fruits, Ajax''s cultivation wouldn''t be increasing at a rapid pace¡­in fact, Ajax considered that it might take centuries for him to get a single Divine Grade Fruit. ''Other than exploring the Cultivation Zones and the Dark Region, there is nothing I can do about it.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax shook his head as he consoled himself, ''There is a possibility that I might not need the Divine Grade Fruits for the future breakthrough and as for the one I am using, it is to convert my Normal Spirit Cultivation to Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Only when Ajax had this thought in his head, did he be a little peaceful and check the information on thest item in the list. ''Fire Search Compass¡­.don''t tell me I can find the Sentient mes with this device.'' Judging from the name, Ajax casually thought that he could find the Sentient mes with it; however, when he saw the information on it, he could not help but reveal a big smile on his face. ''Ding, Item Name: Fire Search Compass (Consumable). Grade: No Grade. Use: A treasure that can be used to find the Sentient mes. As long as there was a Sentient me in the world, the Compass would be shone with a bright light and even guide to the me. ''Even though finding the Sentient me was good, thepass will disappear after I find a Sentient me.'' All the known Sentient mes in the Universe were owned by someone and Ajax could not forcefully take them for himself with his current strength. Even if Ajax used some tricks and tactics to take a Sentient me, the top powerhouses of the universe would hunt him down in the name of the righteous before taking the Sentient me. So, with the help of the Fire Searh Compass, Ajax could find a Sentient me of his own in the Dark Region which was the source of all the Sentient mes in the universe. However, with the Fire Search Compass, Ajax could only have one Sentient me and if he wanted to own more Sentient mes, he needed more Fire Search Compass. Chapter 1784 Multi-Coloured Teleportation Token

Chapter 1784 Multi-Coloured Teleportation Token

Ajax had a side goal of undergoing the body tempering with all the ranked Sentient mes and as for whether Ajax couldplete the legendary rumour of ascending to the Heavenly Realm by undergoing the body tempering with 100 Sentient mes or not, he was not worried much about it. For him, it was just a side goal that could be worth giving it a try to fulfil his boredom. By undergoing the body tempering with each ranked Sentient me, Ajax could awaken a new Divine Rule and at the same time, increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule. With all these benefits, Ajax didn''t mind having such a goal and as for the legendary rumour of ascending to the Heavenly Realm, only time will tell. Therefore, Ajax wanted to have his own Sentient mes and with the help of the Fire Search Compass, things would be a lot easier for him to find the Sentient mes in the Dark Region. ''With the help of a Fire Search Compass, I can tell whether the Sentient me was in the world or not and at the same time, it would also lead me to exactly where the Sentient me is in the world.'' Ajax continued to mutter, ''Even though it is limited to a single world and I have to go to another world to check whether the Sentient me was in the world or not, it is alright as I will be going to a lot of Dark Worlds in the Dark Region.'' Hence, Ajax wanted to have more Fire Search Compasses in the future and silently made a mental note to get more of thesepasses in the future. ''Also, these are not the end of the rewards because the main reward of the trial is this multiple-coloured Teleportation Token.'' With a thought, a multi-coloured Teleportation Token appeared in Ajax''s hand. Each one of these Teleportation Tokens can help a cultivator enter the ten Dragon Worlds that have a Sentient me each to undergo the body tempering with those sentient mes. Also, as the winner of the Trial of the Divine Dragons, Twilight could enter these 10 words to undergo the body tempering with the 10 Sentient mes owned by the Dragonheart Society. ''Among the 10 Sentient mes, I have already undergone the body tempering with five Sentient mes. So, I don''t think I should use this token and keep it aside for the Father.'' ording to the information shown by the system, the multi-coloured Teleportation Token can only be used by one cultivation and Ajax used it to enter the five Dragon Worlds, it would be quite wasteful. Even though he was nning to enter the four Dragon Worlds to give the main Divine Rules of the Sentient mes, Ajax could enter them sooner orter and he was not in a hurry to do so. Moreover, having more Divine Rules means Ajax had to spend more cultivation resources. Therefore, Ajax decided that he could let his Father use the multi-coloured Teleportation Token to go through all ten Dragon Worlds to undergo the body tempering with the sentient mes. ''Also, I can give Father some pure Giant Crystals and let him awaken the Divine Rules.'' Even though Ajax''s father was only a soul orb right now and had to create a body first before starting his cultivation, with his experience of cultivating two times and with Ajax''s cultivation resources, it won''t take much longer for Aron to be an Emperor Realm Cultivator. As for creating the body, Ajax believed that the process could be started right after he came out of the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''When I think about it, all my goals were connected to the Celestial Dawn Realm. I hope my trip to the Celestial Dawn Realm will be fruitful.'' With a hopeful look on his face, Ajax ended his thoughts for the future as he kept the multi-coloured Teleportation Token back into his Storage Ring. ''Now, let''s nurture my second Lesser World Tree.'' Since he had taken care of all the rewards and his future ns, Ajax decided to nurture his second Lesser World Tree and evolve it into a Standard World Tree. By nurturing the Lesser World Tree, Ajax would get another batch of cultivation resources. So, he was very excited to nurture it. Moreover, for others, it might be very difficult to evolve a Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree; however, for Ajax, it was a piece of cake. ''Also, other than this second Lesser World Tree, I have another two Lesser World Trees to nurture and evolve into a Standard World Tree.'' From the ten rewards of the prize pool, Ajax got a 100-year-old Lesser World Tree and the other Lesser World Tree that he nned to nurture was none other than his Mother-inw who was already 1000 years old and unlocked her first ability. ''With the nt Essence I have with me, I can nurture and evolve only two Lesser World Trees and I think it is better to nurture and evolve Mother-inw; instead of the Lesser World Tree that I got from the rewards Prizepool.'' Before starting the nurturing and evolving of his second Lesser World Tree, Ajax had already focused on which Lesser World Tree he had to nurture next and after thinking, he decided to nurture her Mother-inw. In the future, the Five Elemental World would be the main base of his territory and Ajax was nning to let his Mother-inw connect all his worlds. Even though Ajax didn''t know exactly when it would happen, it was in his ns and thus, he decided to focus more on his Mother-inwpared to the third lesser world. ''Of course, I will be nurturing the third Lesser World Tree also once I receive the nt Essence from the Special Notice Service Center.'' It was just a matter of time and with the amount of nt Essence that Ajax would be receiving from histestmission, he was hoping to nurture at least one of his World Trees into a Higher World Tree. ''Swoosh'' After settling his thoughts, Ajax poured 990 drops of nt Essence in a single go and the Lesser World Sapling started growing at a rapid pace. Chapter 1785 [Tree Bonding] ? ''Swoosh'' Within a few seconds, the Lesser World Sapling had grown from a few meters tall to more than a dozen meters and it didn''t stop growing. More and more new branches appeared on the tree as they extended in all directions. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 500 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. After a few moments, Ajax finally received a system notification regarding the Lesser World Tree''s age and the birth of its first Lesser World Fruit. The fire Lesser World Fruit would be special because as far as Ajax remembered, he received a Smaller World Core for his first Lesser World Tree''s first Lesser World Fruit. Of course, right now, a Smaller World Core doesn''t seem very valuable for Ajax; however, getting a Smaller World Core from a 500-year-old tree could be considered a miracle. However, Ajax was not in a hurry to crush it to see what kind of treasure was hiding inside; instead, he was observing the rapidly growing Lesser World Tree. Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 600 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. . . . Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 1000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree has unlocked its first ability, [Tree Bonding]. A series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head as he silently kept two Lesser World Fruits, the one that appeared at 500 years and the second one borne by the tree at 1000 years. Unlike the other trees like [Tree of Blessing] and the [Soul Nourishment Tree], a Lesser World Tree unlocks its first ability only when it reaches 1000 years old and that''s the reason why Ajax poured enough nt Essence for the Lesser World Tree to reach 1000 years. By the time it reached 1000 years, along with its first ability, Ajax had gained five Lesser World Fruits, which he crushed after thinking for a moment. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (500 years) and gained a Smaller World Core. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (1000 years) and gained a Normal World Core. First, Ajax crushed the two Lesser World Fruits that were supposed to give some useful items and as he expected, he got a Smaller World Core and a Normal World Core, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ''This Normal World Core¡­I can give it back to this tree when it reaches 10,000 years and help it evolve into a Standard World Tree.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stored the Smaller World Core with his other World Cores and as for the Normal World Core, he ced it on the ground as he would be giving it to the Lesser World Tree in a few moments. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit and gained 100 drops of nt Essence. As for the remaining three Lesser World Fruits, he crushed them without thinking much and the only useful thing he got was 100 drops of nt Essence and the remaining two were just heaven-grade items that Ajax didn''t even bother to check them. ''These Lesser World Fruits are good; however, after it reaches 1000 years, I can get a Lesser World Fruit after every one thousand years.'' Ajax shook his head as he stopped thinking about the negative side and thought on the positive side, ''Since I am nning to nurture it to 10000 years and evolve it, I can help the Lesser World Tree gain another two abilities and at the same time, I can get another 9 Lesser World Fruits.'' ''Also, not just the Lesser World Fruits, he would get two Eternity World Fruits and a Special World Fruit.'' An Eternity World Fruit can increase the lifespan of an Emperor Realm Cultivator by 5,000 years, giving them enough time to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rule before triggering their Lightning Tribtion. As for a Special World Fruit, it was a fruit that was specially borne by the world tree towards its nurturer to help it reach 10,000 years and at the same time, evolving into a Standard World Fruit. The more the Nurturer puts his efforts and cultivation resources into nurturing the Lesser World Tree, the more valuable the thing thates out of the Special World Fruit. Previously, Ajax had awakened the Divine nt Rule which was a rare rule and it was useful in nurturing the trees and nts. ''If it was not in a cooldown, I would have used it to nurture this Lesser World Tree.'' Ajax had already used the Divine nt Rule to test its efficiency and was quite satisfied with it because he had only awakened it by one percent and the only downside was its cooldown of one month. Anyway, Ajax was not worried too much about it and thought to increase its awakening percentage once he sessfully became a Divine Spirit Cultivator. ''I already have Four Eternity World Fruits and umting them won''t be a bad thing.'' In the current situation, Ajax didn''t have any ns to sell the resources and he had already thought of a way in which he had to sell his cultivation resources. ''Anyway, let''s check its first ability before nurturing it further.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax focused on the Lesser World Tree''s first ability. ''Ding, Ability Name: Tree Bonding. Use: Upon activation of this ability, all the natives in the world have one additional year added to their lifespan. Note: With the age and evolution of the tree, more years of lifespan will be added to their natives living in the same world as the tree. Master: Ajax. As the master of the Lesser World Tree, the nurturer will get 10 years of additional lifespan and it would increase more by nurturing the tree. ''Huh? Increment in the lifespan of all the natives and the nurturer of the tree?'' Looking at the information of the ability, Ajax was pleasantly surprised as he was not expecting that. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with the Ability. ****** Hopefully, I will start resuming three chapters per day from today onwards. Thanks for all your support. Chapter 1786 Evolution of the Lesser World Trees (1)

Chapter 1786 Evolution of the Lesser World Trees (1)

When Ajax read the name of the ability, he thought that the Lesser World Tree would form a bond with one or more natives of the world and help them in many ways. However, he didn''t expect that the Lesser World Tree could connect all the natives in the world and increase their lifespan by one year. Of course, the one-year lifespan seemed less; however, since Ajax was nning to nurture it to at least 10,000 years and also evolve it into a Standard World Tree, there would be some major changes in the Tree''s Ability. ''Even though there were only 1000 or so forest elves in this world, there would be more and more elves in the future and I was also nning to create some subsidiary tribes for the Bird, Wolf and Lion tribes from the Five Elemental World.'' Ajax silently thought about his future ns for the Normal Elven World. As for bringing humans to the Normal Elven World¡­.Ajax doesn''t have any ns regarding that as of now. With more lifespan, all the natives in the world have a few more years to cultivate and their chances of triggering the Lightning Tribtion would increase. Moreover, Ajax would not hold back in supporting those who prove themselves with their talent and would speed up their cultivation and even help them safely go through the ascending process. ''Another thing I like about the Tree''s Ability is, it is also giving me an additional lifespan.'' For the natives of the world, the Lesser World Tree was only giving one additional year for now whereas, it was giving him 10 additional years. So, he was looking forward to seeing how much his lifespan would increase when the Lesser World Tree reaches 10,000 years and evolves into a Standard World Tree. ''Let''s continue.'' With a face full of expectations from the things that he would be getting from the Lesser World Tree, Ajax poured the remaining 9000 drops of nt Essence. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The moment he poured the nt Essence, the Lesser World Tree shot into the sky as more and more branches started growing and extended in all directions. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 2000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. . . . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 5000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit along with a new fruit, Eternal World Fruit. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 2000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. . . . . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 9000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. The Lesser World Tree''s branches grew in all directions and covered more than half of the Normal Elven World. It only took a few minutes for the Lesser World Tree to reach 9000 years as the spirit of the Lesser World Tree flew out and took the Normal World Core. With the help of a Normal World Core, the evolution of the Lesser World Tree would be guaranteed. Moreover, the Normal World Core was a treasure that Ajax got from the same Lesser World Tree. So, he was not worried too much about it as he only cared about evolving the Lesser World Tree into the Standard World. ''Thank you, master.'' As for the tree spirit, she took the Normal World Core and hurriedly flew back into the Lesser World Tree because the tree was about to be 10000 years old and she needed to use the Normal World Core to trigger the evolution process of the Lesser World Tree. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, the rapid growth of the Lesser World Tree stopped as the entire tree along with its long branches that covered half of the Normal Elven World started glowing with a bright light. ''It''s evolving.'' It was not his first time, as Ajax had already experienced the evolution of his first Lesser World Tree into the Standard World Tree and of course, he knew that it would take a long time for the Lesser World Tree toplete the process. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for triggering the evolution of your second Lesser World Tree. ''Ding, The estimated time for thepletion of the evolution of the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree is 24 hours. At the same time, the system sent him notifications regarding the estimated time, making Ajax nod his head. ''Since it will take an entire day for the Lesser World Tree toplete the evolution, it is better for me to go to the Five Elemental World and nurture and evolve the Mother-in-Law into the Standard World Tree.'' Of course, he didn''t forget to bring the Lesser World Fruits with him as he wanted to leisurely check out the treasures inside them. As for the Eternal World Fruit, he stored it along with the other Eternal World Fruits. [Emperor of the Worlds] Using the ability of his title, with a single thought, Ajax appeared in the Five Elemental World. ''Lesser World Tree'' With another thought, Ajax teleported to the Evergreen Forest where the Lesser World Tree was located along with the Forest Elves. "Son-inw, are you missing Siora already?" As the Lesser World Tree, Ajax''s mother-inw was good at sensing the sudden appearance of anyone around her. So, when she sensed Ajax, she could not help but tease him a little. "This time I am here not for Siora but for you, Mother-inw." Ajax told the truth in response as he exined, "I am nning to help you evolve into a Standard World Tree." ''What?'' When she heard Ajax''s initial words, she could not help butugh; however, when she heard that Ajax was nning to evolve her into the next level of world tree, she was thoroughly shocked. "Son-inw, evolving a lesser world tree into a Stanndard World Tree is entirely dependent on theirw and to increase the sess rate of my evolution, I need a Normal World Core." The Lesser World Tree was happy that her son-inw was thinking of helping her; however, she knew how difficult it would be and started talking about it. Chapter 1787 Evolution Of The Lesser World Trees (2) ? Controlling her shock, the Lesser World Tree continued, "I know you have smaller world cores with you and could even have the ability to get the Normal World Cores; however, don''t waste them on me as you will be needing them a lot in the future." Previously, she saw how Ajax was able to bring out the Smaller World Cores and gave her. And with Ajax''s ability, she knew getting his hands on the Normal World Cores didn''t seem a big deal for him. However, she knew one thing the Normal World Cores were needed for the Human Cultivators to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. Even though she didn''t know exactly by how much percent a single Normal World Core would increase the awakening percentage of a Divine Rule, as far as she believed that the Human Cultivators would need a lot of them. Hence, she suggested Ajax that it was better for him to keep those Normal World Cores for himself to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. Also, other than the Normal World Cores, it required 9000 drops of nt Essence to help her reach 10000 years old. "I think you should use these resources to nurture your other Lesser World Tree or you can help Siora with it in her cultivation." After some hesitation, she asked Ajax to help Siora instead of helping her. Siora was her daughter and she hoped that her daughter could be strong enough to protect herself in this cruel universe and hopefully, apany Ajax in his ascension. With Ajax''s talent, she knew that Ajax would ascend to the Heavenly Realm for sure. Hence, she wanted her daughter Siora to be with him along the process and ascend to the Heavenly Realm along with him. "Don''t worry about it, Mother-inw. First, I will help you and then I will take care of Siora." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax assured his Mother-inw and took out the 10000 drops of nt Essence that he received from the rewards of the Trial of the Divine Dragons. "Before I start nurturing you, I will crush these Lesser World Fruits I got from nurturing my other Lesser World Tree." Of course, Ajax didn''t pour the nt Essence yet because he wanted to check whether he could get any more nt Essence from these Lesser World Fruits. Adding to the 100 drops of nt Essence that he got from one of the Lesser World Fruits, Ajax already has 11200 drops of nt Essence which was enough to nurture his other Lesser World Tree which was 100 years old right now to 1000 years old. ''Once I help Mother-inw start the process of Evolution, I can enter the Purple Stone World to nt my other Lesser World Tree in it.'' It was the Lesser World Tree that Ajax received along with the 10000 drops of nt Essence and he decided to nt it in the Purple Stone World. It was the world Ajax was born in and there were many people that he owed and wanted to pay them back. Other than that he was the Emperor of that World and it was his duty to make it stronger and just nting a Lesser World Tree would help the entire world and the natives living in it. ''Anyway, let''s start crushing the Lesser World Fruits. I hope I can get some useful things.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax took out the eight Lesser World Fruits from his second Lesser World Tree and started crushing them. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (2000 years) and gained a smaller World Core. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (3000 years) and gained 100 drops of nt Essence. . ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (5000 years) and gained a Greater World Core. . . . ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (8000 years) and gained 1000 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, The host has crushed a Lesser World Fruit (9000 years) and gained a Normal World Core. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in his head as Ajax received the items from the Lesser World Tree. Compared to the items from his first Lesser World Tree''s Lesser World Fruits, these items didn''t seem very valuable except for a Greater World Core. Nevertheless, he was still satisfied with them. ''A set of Smaller, Normal and Greater World Cores along with 1100 drops of nt Essence. As for the remaining three items, they were useless for me.'' Ajax didn''t think much as he kept a Normal World Core aside before storing away all the items. "Mother-inw, did you see it? I got three World Cores from the Lesser World Fruits. So, don''t worry about me wasting my cultivation resources on you." Showing the Normal World Core in his head, Ajax continued, "By nurturing you for 10,000 years, you can also bear the Lesser World Fruits from which I can more or less get back my cultivation resources." Since he had settled all his issues, Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he directly poured 9000 drops of nt Essence. "Mother-inw, when you reach 9999 years, use this Normal World Core and trigger your evolution." Ajax walked closer to the trunk of the tree and gave the Normal World Core in his hands which the Lesser World Tree took without any hesitation. She knew that the more powerful and the older it became, the more wisdom it could gain and the more helpful it could be to the world and her children who were depending on her. Hence, after hearing Ajax''s exnation, she no longer hesitated in taking the Normal World Core and at the same time, her roots crazily absorbed the nt Essence poured by Ajax. ''Swoosh'' As usual, the Lesser World Tree started growing at an incredible speed as the top of the tree shot into the clouds in the sky and the tree''s branches extended in all directions as they started covering the Five Elemental World. Chapter 1788 Evolution Of The Lesser World Trees (3) ? "Hey¡­look at those branches¡­don''t they belong to the Lesser World Tree?" "Yeah¡­from the looks of it, those branches look like it." "But, doesn''t that look like it is growing at an incredible speed?" "It looks like Master Ajax is nurturing it with everything he got." . . . All the natives of the Five Elemental World were shocked at the rapid growth of the Lesser World Tree. The entire Lesser World Tree emits a unique aura that is filled with vitality and from the rapidly growing branches, the natives could easily tell that the branches belong to the Lesser World Tree. If it was any other tree, the natives would have be anxious and might have shed the branches; however, they knew the benefits of the Lesser World Tree and how much it helps the world and all the living beings in the world. So, they became excited because the older it became, the more benefits they could get from the tree. Soon, some of the powerful natives of the world flew towards the Ancient Evergreen Woods region to see the process of nurturing the Lesser World Tree. And of course, they wanted to use this opportunity to meet their Master Ajax and greet him. The cultivators from the three tribes from the Shixato Wilds, the Fire Crow Tribe, Nether Ice Sparrow Tribe and the Lightning Hawk Tribe flew at their full speed. The three Fox tribes from the Western Fox Lands, the Ghost Fox Tribe, Tailed Spirit Fox Tribe and Demonic Fox Tribe also sent some of the powerful cultivators. The powerful Lion-type re-cultivated beasts from the Mountain Lion Woods also did not want to miss the opportunity to meet Ajax. Not only the re-cultivated spirit beasts from the distance, but the forest elves including Siora staying under the Lesser World Tree also rushed to witness the rapid growth of the Lesser World Tree. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 2000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 3000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. . . . . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 9000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. ''Ding, The Lesser World Tree''s first ability [Mother of Elves] has been triggered 89 times. ''Ding, With the help of the [Mother of Elves], the Lesser World Tree has given birth to 89000 Forest Elves with 89 of them having an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for triggering the evolution of your second Lesser World Tree. ''Ding, The estimated time for thepletion of the evolution of the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree is 24 hours. On the other hand, Ajax received a series of system notifications regarding the growth of the Lesser World Tree along with the evolution of the Lesser World Tree and estimated evolution time. Also, from time to time, there were shes of lights as the batches of forest elves with 1000 in each batch appeared under the Lesser World Tree. Since they were given birth by the Lesser World Tree, they were loyal to the Lesser World Tree and unconsciously, they acknowledged Siora as their Queen since he was the first daughter the Lesser World Tree had given birth to. Also, all these forest elves looked to be in their twenties and they were yet to start their cultivation journey. ''24 hours¡­I will wait.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t think much about them as he gave the responsibility of these Forest Elves to Siora. Instead, he thought about the evolution time of the Lesser World Tree. Ajax still has two days before he enters the Floating Ind. So, waiting for 24 hours was not a problem for Ajax. ''After using 9000 drops of nt Essence, I still have 3300 drops of nt Essence.'' Since the Lesser World Tree was already 1000 years old, Ajax used 9000 drops of nt Essence and adding with the previous drops of nt Essence, Ajax was still left with 3300 drops of nt Essence which was more than enough for him to nuture his Fourth Lesser World Tree to 3000 years. ''Also, I have gained another eight Lesser World Trees and I am expecting to get at least 1000 drops of nt Essence from it. So, I can nurture it more than 4000 years old.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at the eight Lesser World Fruits and one Eternal World Fruit that were lying around him on the ground. "Siora, can you crush a Lesser World Fruit for me?" Keeping the Eternal World Fruit away, Ajax asked Siora to crush the Lesser World Fruit. He was curious whether the itemsing out of the Lesser World Fruits change depending on who crushes the Lesser World Fruits. Hence, Ajax picked out a Lesser World Fruit that he gained when the Lesser World Tree reached 2000 years old. "Sure." Siora doesn''t need any exnation regarding the Lesser World Fruits as she took the Lesser World Fruit and crushed it. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (2000 years) and received a Greater World Core. ''What? A Greater World Crore?'' Even though Ajax was expecting that a good item woulde out of the Lesser World Fruit, he didn''t expect it would be a Greater World Core. ''Siora, crush this one also.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked Siora to crush another one of the Lesser World Fruits. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (3000 years) and received a Rule Awakening Crystal (Bonded to the one who crushed it). This time, Siora received a new item that Ajax had never received or seen before; however, from the name of it, he could tell what it could do. ''Ding, Item Name: Rule Awakening Crystal. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Use: A consumable item that can help the user in awakening a Divine Rule belonging to the elemental with which they have an affinity with. Note: This item can only be used by Siora. ''A good item. It looks like Siora is my lucky charm.'' Without thinking much, Ajax asked Siora to crush the remaining Lesser World Fruits. Chapter 1789 Essence of Rebirth

Chapter 1789 Essence of Rebirth

Even though Ajax could not use the Rule Awakening Crystal for himself, he was still satisfied with the item because Siora could use it to awaken a Divine Rule. After awakening the Divine Rule, Ajax could help her in increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule. ''Her Emperor Realm Soul is about to upgrade into a Divine Rule and using this Tule Awakening Crystal, she could awaken another Divine Rule. Having two Divine Rules was absolutely a good thing.'' With more Divine Rules, a cultivator couldunch a surprise attack on the enemies by fooling them that they have already used their Divine Rule. Even though it would be a little difficult for cultivators to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules, Ajax felt it was not a big deal. Also, Ajax decided to let Siora crush the remaining Lesser World Fruits hoping to get more special Mythical Grade items. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (4000 years) and received 1500 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (5000 years) and received an Eternal World Fruit. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (6000 years) and received a portion of Essence of Rebirth. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (7000 years) and received a Greater World Core ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (8000 years) and received a Special Mythical Grade Treasure [World Protection Array]. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee crushed a Lesser World Fruit (9000 years) and received 2000 drops of nt Essence. Each item that came from the Lesser World Fruit was much better than the items that Ajax received when he crushed the Lesser World Fruits. ''It''s decided¡­.from now onwards, all the Lesser World Fruits and the Standard World Fruits will be crushed by Siora.'' Looking at all the items he received, Ajax didn''t have to think much as he decided to let Siora in charge of crushing the fruits. ''Adding these two Greater World Cores to my collection, I will have nine Greater World Cores and all I need is another Greater World Core to have my second Divine World Core.'' Ajax stored the Greater World Cores because he was afraid that he might use them to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules with him. ''However, I don''t have to resist my temptation of using the Divine World Core in increasing the awakening percentage of my Divine Rule after I find another Greater World Core.'' Ajax was excited when he thought about the collection of world cores that was rapidly increasing just by nurturing the World Tree. ''Also, with these newly gained 3500 drops of nt Essence, I have 7000 drops which is enough to nurture my Fourth Lesser World Tree.'' Ajax was thinking about the Fourth Lesser World Tree that he was nning to nt in the Purple Stone World and continued thinking, ''If I am lucky and get another 3000 drops of nt Essence from the Lesser World Fruits, I can help it trigger its evolution process just like the other Lesser World Trees.'' If it was before, Ajax would not have ced such futile hopes; however, looking at Siora, Ajax could help but have faith in those futile hopes. ¡­.. "Hey, look, the Lesser World Tree is shining¡­is this the legendary evolution process of the Lesser World Tree?" "It looks like Master Ajax was really determined to evolve his Mother-inw into a Standard World Tree. The more powerful the tree bes, the stronger we can all be." "Haha¡­I am looking forward to it too." "Master Ajax is spending so many drops of nt Essence in nurturing the Lesser World Tree. We should try our best and be more powerful to help Master Ajax when the timees." "Yeah. Recently, my cultivation speed has increased and I believe that it has something to do with the Lesser World Tree reaching 1000 years. However, now, that the tree has reached 10000 years, I wonder how fast my cultivation speed will be?" . . All the onlookers were looking forward to the Lesser World Tree to sessfullyplete her evolution and be a Standard World Tree as it would only give them more benefits. ¡­. "Other than the Greater World Cores and the nt Essence, there are some good things I can use." On the other hand, Ajax looked at the remaining items. Eternal World Fruit is added to his collection of Eternal World Fruits before Ajax looks at the shining liquid in a crystalline bottle. ''Ding, Item Name: Essence of Rebirth. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Use: A treasure that can be consumed by the Soul Orbs before they start the process of creating a new body for themselves. It is believed that drinking the Essence of Rebirth will remove all the impurities and the karma of the cultivator from his previous life. ''So, this is the Essence of Rebirth. With this time, I got one set of materials for the creation of a body.'' Ajax silently muttered, ''Who should I let create their body? Father or Snow?'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided, ''I think Father should have his own body and with his knowledge and leadership qualities, he could slowly cultivate and take care of all his followers.'' Even though Ajax was nning to nurture the 100-year-old cultivators he got from the Secret World, Ajax decided to let his father take care of them and use them as he saw fit. As for him, he would be in charge of providing the cultivation resources to them and in the future, if by chance, he required any manualbour, he thought to use them. ''Compared to using them here, I believe there is something bigger happening in the Heavenly Realms. So, having more followers ascending to the Heavenly Realm might be quite useful.'' Although it seemed like Ajax was helping his subordinates a lot, he was doing it only in the hope that they would be useful to him in the future. At that time, he wanted them to be as powerful as possible. Chapter 1790 World Protection Array

Chapter 1790 World Protection Array

Another reason why he wanted his father to form a new body as soon as possible was because he could enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. With the abundant cultivation resources in the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax believed that his father could increase his cultivation at an incredible speed. Moreover, since his father had the experience of entering the Cultivation Zones belonging to the sect in the past, Ajax thought he could make use of it. As for Snow, Ajax just needed to find an Essence of Rebirth along with a Primordial Soul Stone which he could find in the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''As for the Ethereal Lotus Seed, I hope I can find it in the Celestial Dawn Realm as it would be the newly created body undergoing a Celestial Transformation.'' In the creation of a new body, the Ethereal Lotus Seed was just an optional ingredient; however, with it, the newly created body would have an excellent cultivation speed and high cultivation potential and even when they were ascending to the Heavenly Realm, their sess rate would be increased by a certain amount. ''It''s decided. I will let Father initiate the process of creating his new body before I enter the Purple Stone World to nt my Fourth Lesser World Tree.'' Ajax didn''t have to think for long as he concluded looking at thest item that he got from the Lesser World Fruits. ''From its name, it is evident that it is a Defensive treasure.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax used the system to check the information on it. ''Ding, Item Name: World Protection Array. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Use: An array that can protect even a Greater World Core from the invasion of powerful cultivators. No matter how powerful the attack is, it would reflect the attack back at the enemies. Note: 1) It will be destroyed if someone uses a Divine Rule to attack it. 2) However, since it has self-healing runes in it, the Array will be activated within a few days depending on the grade and the natives of the world. ''It is a good treasure.'' Even though it was not considered as a top-notch treasure, Ajax felt it was not a bad treasure. If someone wanted to invade the world, he had to activate his Divine Rule and by doing so, that particr cultivator would lose his trump card. Moreover, the system informed him that it could repair itself and activate after a few days of destroying it. Hence, it was a good treasure that Ajax felt he could use it. ''From the looks of it, it is more or less the same as the Protection Barrier of the worlds belonging to the Dragonheart Society.'' Ajax silently muttered to himself as he asked the system, ''System, activate the World Protection Array for the Five Elemental World.'' Since Ajax decided to make the Five Elemental World his base, he decided to activate the barrier around it. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the golden-coloured array disc in Siora''s hands turned into golden dots and flew in all directions. ''Ding, The World Protection Array around the Five Elemental World has been activated. ''Ding, Please select a few trusted beings in the world to give ess to foreign friends who want to enter the World. Soon, Ajax heard two system notifications as he directly chose, ''I will let Mother-inw take care of giving ess to those who want to enter the world to do trade or train in the world.'' Even though Ajax could give cultivation resources to some of his followers, it can''t take care of all the cultivators in the entire world. As of now, the current cultivation resources in the Five Elemental World would be enough; however, when more and more emperor realm cultivators and re-cultivated beasts appear in the world, the cultivation resources won''t be enough. Hence, it would be better for these cultivators to exchange resources with the cultivators from foreign worlds. Of course, it might take decades or even centuries until cultivators find the Five Elemental World and want to enter it. So, for that, Ajax decided to leave the World Tree which would be in the Five Elemental World forever. In short, the World Tree would be a guardian of the Five Elemental World that allows the cultivators in and out of the world. ''When Mother-inw reaches 10,000 years and bes a Higher World Tree, she might even have the power to stop the powerhouses of the Universe from forcing their way into the Five Elemental World.'' Even though Ajax said that he didn''t have any ns to do that¡­at least not for now. Because his first preference was the Standard World Tree in his Inner World. Only after upgrading it to 100,000 years and evolving it into a Higher World Tree before he focus on the other Standard World Trees. Since it only required 10000 drops of nt Essence to nurture and evolve the Lesser World Trees to 10000-year-old Standard World Tree, Ajax didn''t mind spending that much because he would be getting enough cultivation resources in return in the form of Lesser World Fruits, two Eternal World Fruits, a Special World Fruit along with three abilities for the World Tree. With such benefits, spending 1000 drops of nt Essence was nothing for Ajax. However, things won''t be the same after the Lesser World Tree bes a 10000-year-old Standard World Tree because it requires hundreds of cultivation resources to nurture the trees. ''I need one million drops of nt Essence to nurture a Standard World Tree by 10000 years and the cultivation resources I will get from it won''t be equivalent to the benefits I will get from the tree¡­at least in the short term.'' That''s the reason why Ajax was focused on upgrading all his Lesser World Trees into 10000-year-old Standard World Trees and focusing on only one Standard World Tree after that and it was none other than the Standard World Tree in his Inner World. ''Anyway, I should go and let Father start his body creation procedure.'' Chapter 1791 Body Creation Process

Chapter 1791 Body Creation Process

''Anyway, I should go and let Father start his body creation procedure.'' Since it would take at least 24 hours for the Lesser World Tree toplete her evolution, Ajax decided toplete a few things. Because after two days, he won''t have the time to take care of the things in these worlds as Ajax would be entering the Floating Ind. Moreover, aftering out, with a gap of two days, he had to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. Therefore, he had to finish the important things like helping his father in creating a new body and after that, he wanted to nt his Fourth Lesser World Tree in the Purple Stone World. "Siora, use this Rule Awakening Crystal and awaken a new Divine Rule. I wille back for you soon." After informing Siora, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly teleported to the ce where his Father would be and it was none other than the cave that Brother Ren. ¡­. "Father, I have collected all things required for creating a new body for you." Ajax informed his father as he directly took all the items that his father asked him to collect. "What? You collected them already?" From the Soul Orb, Aron''s excited voice came out as he circled Ajax before circling about the items. Aron thought that with Ajax''s capabilities, it would at least take a couple of years to find all the items. So, of course, when he heard that Ajax collected all the items, he was thoroughly shocked. ''T-this is¡­.you even have an Ethereal Lotus Seed. With this, I can create a body that is out of this realm.'' Aron became even more excited when he saw a fist-sized seed among the items that Ajax had ced. "Father, start the process and create a body." On the other hand, Ajax only had a slight smile on his face as he asked his father to start the process. "Haha¡­sure..sure." Aron chuckled as his Soul Orb flew towards the first item that was required for the creation of a new body. The first and most important thing for any Soul Orb that wants to create a new body, it has to remove the impurities and karma umted by the cultivator in that life. Whether it was a Good Karma or a Bad Karma, everything will be removed. And of course, the Soul with Good Karma would have an easy time in creating a new body and there won''t be any pain during the entire process whereas the Souls with bad karma would need to undergo a hellish pain. Even though it won''t affect the sess rate of creating a body, it''s just the process is so painful that they would be careful of umting the bad karma in their new life with a new body. The item that was capable of achieving such a thing was none other than the Essence of Rebirth. ''Swoosh'' Aron''s Soul Orb gulped down the entire Essence of Rebirth and in the next second, the entire Soul Orb shone with a bright light. At the same time, Ajax witnessed tiny ck dotsing out of the soul orb. ''These might be the impurities that the soul orb has umted by staying in the outside world for a long time without a body.'' Looking at those tiny ck dots, Ajax silently muttered to himself. For any cultivator''s soul, once it leaves the cultivator''s body, it won''t survive for long without external help. ording to the system, it could be anywhere between three months to 300 years depending on the damage done to the soul while escaping the main body. Even though it''s been only 17 years since Aron''s second life came to an end, his soul would have survived for at least 5,000 years or even more thanks to the system. ''Also, from the looks of it, the father doesn''t seem to be screaming in pain. It means he didn''t umte any bad karma.'' Since it was his first time seeing a body recreation process, Ajax was observing everything in detail because, in the future, he might have to go through something simr. ''If my guess is right, I must have umted a lot of Bad Karma by killing so many demons and spirit beasts. I hope I never get into a situation where I have to create a new body for myself.'' Ajax silently hoped that he would not die at any cost and go through the process of creating a new body. Even though Aron killed many demons when he was in the Purple Stone World as Vaugh, it won''t be considered as bad karma; instead, he could be considered a Good Thing and he must have umted a lot of Good Karma. As for Ajax, he entered the demon worlds to kill the demons and even destroyed the worlds. So, Ajax was sure about him umting a lot of Bad Karma. Although he had endured so many pains, he didn''t want to feel the pain when he was a Soul Orb because even the slight pain in that form would be very intense. ''Anyway, let''s be careful and I should not die before ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' Shaking his head, Ajax removed all those thoughts as he focused on the body creation process once again. The soul orb didn''t shine for much longer as the first step of purifying the soul orb waspleted in just 10 minutes. [Primordial Soul Fruit] After the first step, it was time to transform the soul orb into a pure soul and thus, the soul orb flew towards the pitch ck-coloured fruit with tiny white dots on it. ''Gulp'' Soon, the soul orb started eating the fruit and in just a few bits, the entire Primordial Soul Fruit disappeared from the ground. ''Swoosh'' After eating the fruit, the soul orb started shining once again; however,pared to before, the brightness of the soul orb was less. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' In no time, the soul orb started stretching like a slime as it slowly started transforming into a humanoid soul form. Chapter 1792 Body Creation Process (2)

Chapter 1792 Body Creation Process (2)

Time continued to pass andpared to the purification of the Soul Orb, the time required for the transformation of the Soul Orb into a Pure Soul Form was quite long. The first step took only 10 minutes; however, it''s been more than one hour since the second step started and the process didn''t seem to be stopping anytime soon. "Master, if you don''t mind, can you tell me your age and the awakening percentage of your Divine Rule?" While the process was going on, Ajax asked his master, the Bloodline Emperor, Mostror about his age and Divine Rule. Since the time for his father toplete the second step of his body creation seemed longer than he thought, Ajax wanted toplete another one of his side missions. "I am more than 10000 years old and thanks to the treasures I have consumed, I still have another 3000 years of my lifespan." If it was anyone else, Mostror would have not answered; however, it was his favourite disciple and at the same time, the son of his sworn brother. So, Mostror didn''t think much as he answered. "As for the Divine Rule, I have awakened the Divine Bloodline Rule and it is at 50 percent. I was worried about not triggering the Lightning Tribtion; however, with Brother Aron and you around, I am confident in triggering the Lightning Tribtion and ascending to the Heavenly Realm." Mostror was not embarrassed when he said those words because it was a dream for all the cultivators in the universe to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. As for what methods they use to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, it doesn''t matter. "Don''t worry, Master. I will help you with your Divine Rule and not only that, I will increase your chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm by 25 percent." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied while making a list of people whom he needed to help them with their Divine Rules. Ajax had already decided to help his master and all the other emperor realm old cultivators in converting their Regr Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. Once he does that, not only their lifespace will be doubled but their chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm will also increase for different minor realms in the Emperor Realm. As for the list, Ajax has already added some names to it and they are: 1) Mostror. 2) The 100 old cultivators from the Secret World. 3) Aron. 4) Zanath, and Ren. 5) Grandpa Boron, Uncle Edmond, Uncle Udo and the Vagrant Cultivators of the Zrochester Province who helped him when he was still weak. For the first round, Ajax decided to focus on them before thinking about others who need Divine Body Cultivation. As for the resources, he had enough for the first round of cultivators he decided to start the procedure after hepleted his both trips¡­the Floating Ind trip and the Celestial Dawn Realm trip. ''With Father around, I think he can take care of the things in this universe whereas I can start my Dark Region Adventures.'' Ajax silently thought in his head. ''Ding, The host''s father has sessfullypleted the second step of the Body Creation Process. After another hour, Ajax received the system notification that made him pause to his thoughts as he looked at his father''s soul. He was no longer a Soul Orb; instead, he was a humanoid soul. Of course, the form was still far away from reaching the level of the Elemental Spirit. In short, he looked like a ghost without any facial features; however, it was still a sess because it was only a second step. ''It''s time for the third and main step.'' Aron''s soul picked the green-coloured pearl from the ground as he consumed the Life Essence Pearl in a single go. ''Ding, The host''s father has consumed a Life Essence Pearl and initiated the main step in the process of Body Creation. ''Swoosh'' Like the previous two steps, the soul shone with a bright light as Ajax sensed that the ghost-like appearance of his father started materializing. Due to the bright light emitted by his father''s soul, Ajax and others around Aron were unable to see the exact process of what was happening. As for how Ajax was able to sense that materializing was thanks to his Divine Spirit Consciousness; however, even with it, what Ajax could see was limited. ''As long as this step ispleted, the father will have a real body.'' Ajax could not control his excitement as he looked expectantly at his father''s shining soul. Time continued to pass and six hours passed by as Ajax sensed that the bright light emitted by his father''s soul started disappearing. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host''s father has sessfullypleted the third step of the Body Creation Process and created an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. Before the light couldpletely disappear, Ajax received a system notification as he finally saw his father''s real body. Once the blinding light disappeared, a young man around the age of 20 appeared in front of everyone. He looked a little bit simr to Ajax; however, his face looked much more mature and experienced. His eyes were ck and his gaze was sharp which unconsciously made Mostror and Ren freeze in their steps. ''His gaze is just like¡­ the old times. They are sharp and intimidating.'' Mostror, Ren and Zanath smiled a little as they could find many simrities with Aron''s new body whenpared to the old body. And the main simrity was the gaze. "Father" As for Ajax, he was the most excited one as he rushed forward to hug his father; however, he felt it was awkward as he had never done before. ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was hesitating, Aron took a step forward and hugged his son as he said in a low voice, "Son, sorry for everything you went through because of me and thanks for living and bing strong to the point where you helped me in creating a new body." "Thank you and I wanted to hug you and say these words to you for a while now." Chapter 1793 Returning to Purple Stone World Chapter 1793 Returning to Purple Stone World "Thank you and I wanted to hug you and say these words to you for a while now." Even though Aron had been talking with his son for a while now, he could not touch him much less hug him. Right now, he had finally got a physical body and he apologized for not being with him while he was growing and at the same time, he thanked Ajax for growing up into a fine young man with enough strength to protect himself. "..." On the other hand, Ajax remained silent as his eyes turned moist. Even though Ajax never showed up on the surface, he was always jealous when he saw how the cultivators around his age had their parents to take care of them. When he learned that his parents were alive butcking bodies, Ajax wanted to help them by creating new bodies for them and he was sessful in doing so. Of course, he still didn''t know exactly where his Mother''s Soul was; however, from his father''s words, Ajax knew that she would be safe no matter where she was. For now, he finally has a father whom he can see and touch and he is excited about it. estimated time for thepletion of the Celestial Transformation. "Father, let''splete thest step of the Body Creation Process." With the cultivation resources that Ajax had provided to Aron, Aron was able to create an Extraordinary Cultivation Body; however, it was still not a top-notch body. Moreover, there is still another step to upgrade Aron''s body, giving him a Celestial Appearance, talent and potential. Hence, Ajax asked his father to not waste any more time andplete thest step. "Okay." Nodding his head, Aron picked up the Ethereal Lotus Seed from the ground and tossed it into his mouth. The Ethereal Lotus Seed, Ajax thought of nurturing it in the Thunder Pool of his Inner World; however, he learned that it was not a real seed from which a ntes out. Instead, it was a seed that gave birth to a Physical Body for the soul. Hence, Ajax removed the thought of nurturing it and directly gave it to his father to use it to undergo the Celestial Transformation. ''Ding, The host''s father has consumed the Ethereal Lotus Seed and initiated the Celestial Transformation in his Body Creation Process. As soon as the system notification rang in Ajax''s head, Aron''s body started floating in the air and at the same time, his entire body was covered in a bright light. Like before, the bright light was so bright that it was blinding everyone''s eyes and even Ajax was unable to see even with his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''System, can you give me an estimated time for thepletion of this Celestial Transformation.'' Even though he wanted to be with his father until his fatherpleted the entire process, Ajax didn''t have much time before entering the Floating Ind. Moreover, he was nning to nt his fourth Lesser World Tree in the Purple Stone World and nurture it for 7000 years with the remaining drops of the nt Essence. If the process of undergoing the Celestial Transformation takes more time, Ajax wanted to take a quick trip to the Purple Stone World and nt the Lesser World Tree and collect some cultivation resources from the Lesser World Trees. With that thought in mind, Ajax asked the system to give him an estimated time for thepletion of the Celestial Transformation. ''Ding, It is estimated to be 12 hours. ''12 hours? Then, I can take a trip to the Purple Stone World.'' Even if it was more than two hours, Ajax was nning to take a quick trip to the Purple Stone World and it was estimated to be 12 hours. So, he didn''t hesitate as he informed his master and others before returning to the Lesser World Tree in the Ancient Evergreen Woods. "Siora, let''s go." Ajax didn''t exin much to Siora; however, she followed him without asking any questions. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, Ajax sent her into the Inner World before using his title to directly teleport to the Purple Stone Worlds. Even though he had a powerful title, he could not bring anyone with him using teleportation; however, he could send them into the Inner World before bringing them with him. Also, Ajax was not willing to let anyone into his Inner World and only Siora was the one who got the permission from him and of course, he would let his father enter the Inner World as he already knew about its existence. Ajax didn''t want to let the existence of the Inner World known to everyone¡­not even his loyal followers. ¡­ Zrochester Province, Purple Stone World, ''Swoosh'' With a sh, Ajax appeared in a familiar province that he had grown up in. In the distance, he saw the Mercenary Guild''s building; however, he didn''t want to enter it yet to meet the Vagrant Cultivators. The main reason why he entered the Purple Stone World was to nt the Lesser World Tree. ''Let''s nt it in the Cursed Wilderness.'' Ajax had already decided the location where he wanted to nt his four lesser world trees and it was none other than Cused Wilderness. Except for the Outer Section of the Cursed Wilderness, the Middle Section and the Inner Sections of the Cursed Wilderness were fully regted by the spirit beasts that swore Ajax as their leader. With their strength, controlling the entire Cursed Wilderness was not a big issue; however, Ajax had ordered not to bother about it because he wanted to let the spirit beasts that were unable to get over their bestial instincts to have their way in the Outer Section of the Cursed Wilderness. Also, the Outer Section has be a ce where humans could hunt down the spirit beasts without any problem. However, if they enter the Middle Section and the Inner Section, they should be ready to lose their lives. Of course, it didn''t stop the King Realm cultivators from entering the Middle Section to collect the cultivation resources, and taming the spirit beasts. Chapter 1794 Normal Ascension Chapter 1794 Normal Ascension From ancient times, the Cursed Wilderness was ssified into three sections: Inner, Middle and Outer. Even after Ajax became the Emperor of the World, he didn''t bother to change it and let the Spirit Beast Kings from the Cursed Wilderness and the King Realm Cultivators from the rest of the Worlde to a new agreement. In the Outer Section of the Cursed Wilderness, the humans can kill the low-level spirit beasts as they wish and the Spirit Beast Kings and Generals won''t bother about it. In the Middle Section of the Cursed Wilderness, the cultivator can enter; however, the Spirit Beast King had already informed them that there would be many Spirit Beast Generals guarding that section. So, the humans should be ready to die. However, if the humans dared to enter the Inner Section of the Cursed Wilderness, the Spirit Beast Kings would personally make moves and kill the humans who dared to enter the depths of the Cursed Wilderness. Despite such a rule, many King Realm Cultivators entered the depths of the Cursed Wilderness in search of Cultivation resources. Some people greatly benefited and some lost their precious lives. ''I can tell them to fight with one another like this; instead of having an all-out war.'' Even though this method would kill some powerful cultivators in the world, it would make the remaining cultivators even more powerful. Hence, Ajax didn''t bother too much about it. For him, there should not be a mass extermination of either side. He Moreover, in this world, the concept of the survival of the fittest has been incorporated from the birth of this world. Hence, Ajax didn''t bother too much about it. For him, there should not be a mass extermination of either side. He wanted both the Spirit Beasts and the humans to live in the world, by fighting, by forming contracts with one another and all possible things. ''It would be a foolish idea to make them live happily without fighting for their entire lives. Without fighting, the entire world bes weak.'' If it was before Ajax left the Purple Stone World, he would have beenpletely opposed to this kind of maintenance of the world; however, his horizons had been broadened. In this universe, even a peak-level Emperor Realm Cultivator could be killed in an instant. So, keeping all the natives of the world safe and protected without involving them in fights and giving them all kinds of cultivation resources to increase their strength¡­ would be useless. ''Anyway, let''s nt the Lesser World Tree in the world and help the entire Purple Stone World.'' Ajax stopped thinking about those things as he flew into the depths of the Cursed Wilderness with Siora. ¡­ In the depths of the Cursed Wilderness, ''Swoosh'' As the Emperor of the Purple Stone World, everyone except for some Primitive Spirit Beasts recognizes Ajax. Seeing him flying into the depths of the Cursed Wilderness, none of the Spirit Beasts dared to stop him. Moreover, they stopped what they were doing and respectfully greeted him, hoping that they would receive the blessing of the Emperor of the World. From the stories they have heard, their Emperor has lots of treasures that could not only evolve them but they could instantly make them powerful. If their luck was good and they received any one of those cultivation resources, they would be the Spirit Beast General or even Spirit Beast King for one of the regions in the Inner Section of the Cursed Wilderness. However, Ajax was in a hurry as he directly flew into the depths of the Cursed Wilderness without bestowing them anything. ''Since I am nning to nurture the Lesser World Tree, it would help them and could be considered a blessing to the entire world.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head as he finally reached his destination. "It''s been a while, Primeval Ent." Looking at the ancient tree that was covering half of the inner section, Ajax greeted it with a slight smile on his face. "So, you finally remembered the Cursed Wilderness..hehe." To his greeting, an old voice replied as an old man wearing brown robes walked out of the tree hole. Primeval Ent, was an ancient tree that lived for as long as the Purple Stone World. He was the King of the entire Cursed Wilderness and Ajax remembered that he was leaving the Purple Stone World. Back then, Ajax didn''t know much; however, right now, he knew what his previous words meant. The ascension that the Primeval Ent talked about in the past was not the Heavenly Ascension to the [Heavenly Realm]. Instead, it was a Normal Ascension in which a living being could ascend to a different world. For example, if a being lived for so long and became so powerful that the cultivation resources in the world were not useful anymore, then that living being could ascend to a higher world. A being from the Smaller World could ascend to the Normal World and a being from the Normal World could ascend to the Greater World. Currently, the Primeval Ent has gained ess to one of the Greater Worlds that was rted to the nts and trees and could ascend to it once hepletes all his preparation. It was not just Primeval Ent, previously, the three Ancestors of the bird tribes in the Five Elemental World were able to ascend to the Greater Worlds and from there, the Lightning Hawk Emperor was sessfully ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Just like how the Heavenly Ascension required a Lightning Tribtion, even this Normal Ascension also needed a living being to go through the Lightning Tribtion. However, since only the living beings who meet all the requirements would be given ess to the higher worlds, they would most likely ascend to the higher worlds without any problem. "Primeval Ent, if you don''t mind, you can ascend to the Five Elemental World which is another one of the worlds under my control." Ajax had this thought for a while in his mind and since he had returned to the Purple Stone World and met the Primeval Ent, Ajax decided to invite him to ascend to the Five Elemental World. Chapter 1795 Primeval Ent Chapter 1795 Primeval Ent A Normal Ascension is a process of a cultivator who has reached the limit of that world and is unable to progress any longer in that world and needs some external push like an invitation from an Emperor from the other worlds. After going through the Lightning Tribtion for the Normal Ascension, that particr cultivator would be a native of the higher world. Once he bes a native of the higher world, his cultivation talent, potential and even his body physique would be upgraded to the level of an average cultivator''s talent, potential and physique of that higher world. Skaros, the Primeval Ent was thest surviving one among his race and the oldest living being in the Purple Stone World. His cultivation has been stuck at the peak King Realm and with the current resources in the Purple Stone World, he couldn''t break through to the next level much less ascending to the Heavenly Realm. As a fellow native of the Purple Stone World, Ajax wanted to invite the Primeval Ent to the Five Elemental World. "Your World? You have conquered a World that was much more powerful than the Purple Stone World?" When the Primeval Ent heard Ajax''s words, he was shocked as he looked at Ajax in a new light. "I was lucky and able to be an Emperor of that world." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax briefly exined about the world, "The world''s name is Five Elemental World. Even though it was yet to be a Greater World, it won''t be long before it reaches the Greater World." As an Emperor of the Five Elemental World and the Purple Stone World, Ajax didn''t have to take anyone''s permission to invite the cultivators who met the requirements of ascension. Also, Ajax didn''t hide the fact that the Five Elemental World was not a Greater World and it would take a while before bing one. Even though the Five Elemental World was not a Greater World, with the Lesser World Tree in it along with the benefits provided by the tree like purifying the essence of nature in the world, it could be considered as a Greater World. "Thanks for the invitation; however, the previous invitation I got was from¡­" "Also, there was a Standard World Tree in it." Seeing that Skaros was rejecting his offer, Ajax was quick with his words as he informed about the Standard World Tree in the Five Elemental World. Even though the evolution of the Lesser World Tree was yet to bepleted, it would bepleted in less than 12 hours. So, Ajax decided to consider that the evolution waspleted and he has a Standard World Tree in the Five Elemental World. Also, the reason why Ajax decided to reveal the Standard World Tree was that Primveal Ent is a creature that was closely rted to the trees and the more powerful the trees in the world are, the faster their cultivation would be. Hence, Ajax was sure that once the Primeval Ent learned about the existence of the Standard World Tree, he would directly ept his invitation. Moreover, Ajax felt that he could use Primeval Ent''s knowledge of living for millions of years alongside the Purple Stone World. Even though the King Realm Cultivators can''t live past 1000 years without consuming cultivation resources, Primeval Ents are different. They be one with the world and live for as long as possible as long as they are not killed by external threats. However, just because they could live for millions of years, they could not be strong and unlike the World Trees or other trees, they can''t produce powerful and heaven-defying treasures from their bodies. In short, the Primeval Ents were notplete trees and at the same time, they were not spirit beasts. They would be somewhere between these two. They got the ability to live for long from the trees and the cultivation talents from the spirit beasts. "What? Your world has a Standard World Tree?" Skaros hated getting interrupted when he was talking; however, Ajax''s words didn''t make him angry; instead, he was shocked as he asked about it. "Yeah. I have it and because of that tree, the moment you ascend to my world, you will instantly be an Emperor Realm being." Ajax nodded his head. "T-this¡­let me formally reject the Forest Dragon Emperor''s invitation to ascend to his world." The Primeval Ent had two reasons for epting the invitation of the Forest Dragon Emperor in ascending to his world and it was because of a Standard World Tree in his world. Among the two invitations he got, without a doubt, the Forest Dragon Emperor''s invitation was the best one. However, he knew that after he sessfullypleted his ascension to the Greater Forest Dragon World, he would be forgotten by the Forest Dragon Emperor in no time because there would be many living beings that ascended to his world. The only reason why he got the invitation to that world was because he was one of the rarest species in the Universe and he would be a collection for the Forest Dragon Emperor. Hence, Skaros decided to reject the Forest Dragon Emperor''s invitation as he knew that Ajax was young and needed someone like him who could guide him and take care of the world in his absence. In short, instead of bing a nobody in one of the powerful worlds, Skaros wanted to be someone useful in a developing world. "Haha¡­I will be waiting for you then." Ajaxughed a little and at the same time, he informed the Primeval Ent, "By the way, I am nning to nurture a Lesser World Tree in the Purple Stone World." "Really? It looks like you must have be quite rich after leaving the Purple Stone World¡­hehe." After learning about how one of Ajax''s worlds has a Standard World Tree, the Primeval Ent was not surprised about Ajax having a Lesser World Tree. So, he joked about Ajax getting rich after leaving the Purple Stone World. "As I said before, I was lucky." Ajax was modest with Skaros as he shook his head. Ajax didn''t have much interaction with the Primeval Ent and didn''t share much information with him. In the future, if Skaros helps him, Ajax will give enough cultivation resources to help him ascend to the Heavenly Realm. "So, I am wondering about the location where I should nt the Lesser World Tree." After exchanging a few more words, Ajax asked Skaros about the location of the nt. "You are asking the right person. Follow me." As a mixed breed of both nt and the spirit beast and having lived for long enough, Skaros was quite knowledgeable about the locations for nting trees. So, he guided Ajax and Siora to a particr location that was overgrown with trees and bushes. "This ce here is directly connected to the Core Realm of the Purple Stone World and it is one of the best locations for nting a Lesser World Tree." Nature." Ajax could feel the pure Essence of Nature and at the same time, he The old Skaros pointed at a particr location amidst the overgrown bushes and trees where it waspletely barren. "You are right! This location is brimming with pure Essence of Nature." Ajax could feel the pure Essence of Nature and at the same time, he used his Divine Spirit Consciousness to check the location and could sense that it was quite close to the Core Realm of the World. The core Realm of the World was a separated space inside the worlds in which the World Cores were located. Also, it could not be sensed by everyone and only cultivators like Ajax who were extremely sensitive towards the essence of nature would sense and enter the Core Realm. "And you must be wondering why that particr location is barren despite being nourished by the Pure Essence of Nature, right?" The old man turned towards Ajax and Siora as he asked with a slight smile. "It''s because you wanted to get the Pure Essence of Nature and didn''t want others topletely take it. If I am right, you must be using your branches to nt there from time to time to get as much Pure Essence of Nature as possible." It was Siora who replied with her usual cold face. "Haha¡­it looks like you are quite knowledgeable." Skaros was surprised for a moment before nodding his head, agreeing with Siora''s words. "Anyway, you can nt the Lesser World Tree here as I will be leaving this world soon." Since the Primeval Ent was about to ascend to the Five Elemental World in a few days, Skaros no longer needed that ce to absorb the pure Essence of Nature. So, he didn''t mind Ajax using that ce for nurturing the Lesser World Tree. "I will nt it here, then." Nodding his head, Ajax went forward dug a hole and nted the Lesser World Tree that he got from the rewards of the Trial of the Divine Dragons. It was a 100-year-old Lesser World Tree and it was as big as any other normal tree; however, with Ajax''s strength, it was not a problem for Ajax to lift it and nt it in the hole. ''Ding, The host has nted a Lesser World Tree and to nourish it, please provide it with 100 drops of nt Essence; otherwise, it will wither away. ''What? I thought I would save 100 drops of nt Essence; however, it looks like that 100 drops of nt Essence is the cost of moving locations for the tree.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he didn''t hesitate much as he directly poured 1000 drops of nt Essence and in the next second, changes started appearing in the tree. Chapter 1796 Twin Joy Chapter 1796 Twin Joy The initial 100 drops of the nt Essence didn''t increase the age of the Lesser World Tree that he nted just now; instead, those drops were used to nourish the tree. In short, Ajax considered it as a Moving Cost for the Lesser World Tree and the remaining 900 drops of nt Essence would help the Lesser World Tree every 1000 years. Since the Lesser World Tree awakens its first abilities at the age of 1000, Ajax wanted to check it out first before using the remaining drops of nt Essence. ''Swoosh'' The Lesser World Tree that has withered leaves fell as new leaves appeared in the ce of those fallen leaves. Once the Lesser World Tree was adjusted to its new location, it rapidly devoured the nt essence on the ground as it started growing at an incredible speed. ''I hope it awakens a good ability that could both actively and passively help all the natives of the world.'' Ajax was not surprised at the speed at which the Lesser World Tree was growing; instead, he was hoping the Lesser World Tree awakened a good ability. As the Emperor of the Purple Stone World, the more powerful the cultivators in it be, the more helpful it would be for Ajax. These powerful cultivators could protect the world in his absence and they could also venture into the outside worlds to bring more cultivation resources to the world. Moreover, Ajax''s goal was to help ascend as many loyal followers as possible to the Heavenly Realm because he believed that the more followers he had in the Heavenly Realm, the morefortable his life would be in the new realm. ''From what I heard from Uncle Draven, the Heavenly Realm is more dangerous and at the same time, it was a wonderous realm that could make the cultivators even stronger.'' So, of course, Ajax wanted to have many loyal cultivators in the Heavenly Realm. Following the growth of the Lesser World Tree, Ajax received a series of system notifications ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 500 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. . . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 1000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has awakened its first ability [Twin Joy]. In less than 10 minutes, the Lesser World Tree has reached 1000 years old and it awakened its first ability. ''Twin Joy? A unique name for an ability.'' Ajax raised his eyebrows as he collected six Lesser World Fruits and gave them to Siora to hold for a moment before checking the information on the ability. ''Ding, Ability Name: Twin Joy. Use: Whenever this Lesser World Tree bores a fruit, the ability will trigger and double the fruit. ''What? It doubles the fruits bore by the Lesser World Tree.'' Looking at the system notification in front of him, Ajax was extremely surprised and became joyful. ''Even though the ability is not useful for the natives for their cultivation, it is extremely useful for me.'' When Ajax spends his cultivation resources on something, he looks for two things and they were the returns should either better him or his followers or natives. As long as it fulfils one of these two requirements, Ajax would be satisfied with his investment. And now, the Twin Joy was an ability that would help Ajax greatly because from now onwards, he would get double fruits from this particr Lesser World Tree. ''Wait a second¡­it said all the fruits bore by this Lesser World Tree¡­ then, it means the Eternal World Fruit and even the special world fruit that appeared only when the tree sessfullypletes its evolution, would be doubled, right?'' When this thought came to Ajax''s head, he was excited and wanted to nurture the tree for 10,000 years and help it evolve into the Standard World Tree. ''First, let''s check out the treasures hiding in these six Lesser World Fruits.'' Before that, Ajax wanted to crush the Lesser World Fruits and of course, just like before, he asked his lucky charm Siora to crush the Lesser World Fruits, hoping that some good treasures coulde out of it. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (500 years) and gained a Normal World Core. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (600 years) and gained 500 drops of nt Essence. . . ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (1000 years) and gained a Greater World Core. As expected the rewards from the Lesser World Fruits were very much better than mine.'' generous when they were crushed by Siora. ''A Greater World Core, a Normal World, 600 drops of nt Essence, a low-level Legend Grade Weapon and an artefact¡­her luck is much better than mine.'' Except for the Weapon and Artifact that were not useful to him, the remaining treasures from the Lesser World Fruits were extremely useful to her. Especially, the Greater World Core¡­with this one, Ajax finally has 10 Greater World Cores which he could merge into a Divine World Core. ''One Divine World Core is for my Divine Spirit Cultivation and the extra Divine World Cores, I will test one of them to see by how much the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule would increase.'' ''Also, after that, instead of merging the Greater World Cores into Divine World Cores, I will use them to increase the cultivation of my Spirit Beasts.'' From the system, Ajax had learned that he could use the world cores along with other requirements to help his contracted spirit beasts breakthrough in their cultivation. The main problem here was that his Cultivation was stuck and it would take a while until his cultivation got converted into Divine Spirit Cultivation. So, he could only use the World Cores on other things. ''With this 600 drops of nt Essence, I can nurture this Lesser World Tree to 7600 years and I only need 2400 drops of nt Essence more to nurture it to 10000 years.'' Ajax expected that he would get more drops of nt Essence from the Lesser World Fruits that the Lesser World Tree would start bearing soon. Chapter 1797 Sioras Luck Chapter 1797 Siora''s Luck The Lesser World Fruits bore by the Lesser World Tree after reaching 1000 years of age, contained at least 1000 drops of nt Essence. It was only when he crushed and since he was letting Siora crush the Lesser World Fruits, he was expecting at least 1500 drops of nt Essence and he got two times from the six Lesser World Fruits that he could get from the Lesser World Tree, Ajax felt that he could nurture his fourth Lesser World Tree to 10000 years and he could also evolve it into a Standard World Tree. ''Once it bes the Standard World Tree, I will get Standard World Fruits and with the [Twin Joy] ability, I could get more powerful and useful treasures.'' Ajax was looking forward to it as he started pouring the remaining 6000 drops of nt Essence along with the 600 drops of nt Essence he collected from crushing the Lesser World Fruits earlier. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Lesser World Tree started devouring at an incredible speed and system notifications started ringing in Ajax''s ears. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 2000 years old and bore a Lesser World Fruit. ''Ding, The Tree''s ability [Twin Joy] has triggered and the tree bore another Lesser World Fruit. . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 5000 years old and bore two Lesser World Fruits and two Eternal World Fruits. . ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 7000 years old and bore two Lesser World Fruits. ''Ding, Tree Name: Lesser World Tree (Purple). Age: 7600 years old. Ability: Twin Joy, doubles all the fruits bore by the tree. Fruits: Lesser World Fruit and Eternal World Fruit. After more than 20 minutes, the rapid growth of the Lesser World Tree stopped at 7600 years and at the same time, the system showed him the information about the Lesser World Tree. Thanks to the tree''s ability, Ajax got 12 Lesser World Fruits and two Eternal World Fruits instead of 6 Lesser World Fruits and one Eternal World Fruit. ''It''s time to crush the Lesser World Fruits and hopefully, I get more nt Essence.'' Ajax was hoping to get more nt Essence because, with that, he could evolve his Fourth Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree before he entered the Floating Ind. "Siora, do it." Of course, Ajax asked his fiancee to crush the Lesser World Fruits as he stored the two Eternal World Fruits. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (2000 years) and gained a Greater World Core. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (2000 years) and gained a Greater World Core. . . ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (5000 years) and gained 2000 drops of nt Essence. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (5000 years) and gained 2000 drops of nt Essence. . ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (7000 years) and gained a Lesser World Seed. ''Ding, Siora crushed a Lesser World Fruit (7000 years) and gained a Lesser World Seed. ''So, the second Lesser World Fruit that appeared thanks to the Tree''s Ability will have the same item as the first Lesser World Fruit.'' Looking at the series of system notifications, Ajax concluded and nodded his head in satisfaction. He was getting different items from the Lesser World Fruits was a good thing, in Ajax''s current situation, getting the same items was not a bad thing. ''Because of that, I was able to get two Greater World Cores and 4000 drops of nt Essence.'' Ajax silently muttered as he continued, ''Moreover, I even got two Lesser World Seeds which I can nt and nurture into Lesser World Trees before evolving them into Standard World Trees.'' It was not a wonder for a Lesser World Seed to appear in the Lesser World Fruit; however, it was very rare and could only appear in the Lesser World Fruits that bore without any external help. For example, in the past, Ajax''s mother-inw gave him a Lesser World Seed back then and back then, she was already 500 years old and bore Lesser World Fruits on her own without any external help. However, all the Lesser World Trees that Ajax had with him were nurtured by them with the help of the nt Essence and the chances of getting a Lesser World Seeds were minimal. ''The only reason I believe I got the Lesser World Seeds was because of Siora.'' This was the only assumption that Ajax coulde to after thinking about the Lesser World Seed. Moreover, thanks to the Lesser World Tree''s ability of [Twin Joy], he got two World Seeds. ''However, from the looks of it, Siora''s luck is bing less and less the more Lesser World Fruits he crushed.'' Previously, Siora used to get at least 90 percent of good items from the Lesser World Fruits; however, now, among the 12 fruits she crushed, only six fruits got the things that Ajax needed. ''But, still, in her 50 percent of getting good items, all those items were much better than the items I got.'' Because of this, Ajax didn''t have anyints as he still decided to let Siora crush the Lesser World Fruits. Even though it seemed like he was wasting Siora''s luck in the initial stage of Nurturing the Lesser World Trees, Ajax didn''t mind because he was currently in the stage where he should get as many good cultivation resources as possible. Once he sessfully converted his cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and increased the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules, he could venture into the Dark Region and collect more cultivation resources on his own without anyone''s help. ''Before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm, I have to be as strong as possible to get as many cultivation resources as possible.'' This was one of the main goals that Ajax had set for himself and the reason why he was nurturing the World Trees was because he was hoping to get Divine Grade Fruits from these World Trees. ''Even though I know it is almost impossible, there is no harm in nurturing the trees and letting Siora crush the Lesser World Fruits.'' Chapter 1798 [Bonus chapter] Fourth Standard World Tree in the Process Chapter 1798 [Bonus chapter] Fourth Standard World Tree in the Process Ajax hoped that with Siora''s luck, there might be a slight chance of getting a Divine Grade Fruit and hence, he focused on nurturing the Lesser World Trees to get as many Lesser World Fruits as possible. Even if Ajax didn''t get a Divine Grade Fruit, he was still happy with the treasures he was getting from the Lesser World Fruits that Siora crushed. ''I have 4000 drops of nt Essence left with me which is more than enough to nurture the Lesser World Tree for 10000 years.'' With an excited smile on his face, Ajax poured 2399 drops of nt Essence on the ground around the Lesser World Tree. ''Swoosh'' As the Lesser World Tree resumed its rapid growth, Skaros, the Primeval Ent was looking at Ajax, Siora and the Lesser World Tree with a shocked look on his face. ''When did it be so easy to nurture the Lesser World Tree? Is he still the same Ajax I met a few months back?'' There were many thoughts in Skaros''s head as he tried his best to look calm andposed; however, he was unable to do it. nt Essence is a cultivation resource that is very hard to find in most of the world and it is avable only in the worlds that were filled with many special trees and nts that were grown for years. The nt Essence produced by these nts and trees was used to nurture the Lesser World Tree and the Standard World Tree in the world and in turn, the World Trees will help these nts with enough pure essence of nature along with other benefits like growth boosts, evolution of the nts and trees. In short, there was a symbiotic rtionship between the World Trees and these special nts and there were worlds that mainly focused on the World Trees and these special nts. As for the Purple Stone World, it was a world mainly for humans and as for the trees, even though there were many forests, the world''s overall grade was still low and it would take many centuries or even millennia. However, Ajax was able to bring out thousands of nt Essence and even the Lesser World Tree gave him 4600 drops of nt Essence right in front of his eyes. ''It looks like he and she must be chosen.'' Since Siora was able to get such good items from the Lesser World Fruits, Skaros thought that was a chosen one. As for Ajax, he was just a child born in the low-level Province in the Purple Stone World; however, he was able to be the Emperor of the World before the age of 20 and even established himself in the other worlds. So, there were no doubts for Skaros regarding Ajax being a chosen one. ¡­ ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 8000 years old and bore two Lesser World Fruits. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 9000 years old and bore two Lesser World Fruits. On the other hand, Ajax didn''t bother to look at Skaros'' shocked look as he focused on collecting the Lesser World Fruits. "Skaros, can you go and start your preparation for the ascension to my world?" Unlike before, Ajax was not in a hurry to either crush the Lesser World Fruits or evolve the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree. He didn''t want Skaros watching him evolve the Lesser World Tree and thus, he sent Skaros away. Even though Ajax trusted Skaros, that doesn''t mean he would casually share his secret of evolving the Lesser World Tree into a Standard World Tree. Skaros could tell that Ajax didn''t want me to stay here and he didn''t mind those words because he could tell that Ajax needed some privacy. He knew that he didn''t have many interactions with Ajax and despite that, Ajax allowed him to witness the nurturing of the Lesser World Tree until it reached 9999 years old. Hence, the Primeval Ent was satisfied with it and quietly left from there, leaving Ajax and Siora with the Lesser World Tree that was only one year away from reaching 10,000 years. After seeing Primeval Ent, Ajax used his Divine Spirit Consciousness to check whether Skaros was checking on them with his many branches that covered half of the Inner Section of the Cursed Wilderness. ''It looks like he is really giving me my privacy¡­not bad.'' Ajax was satisfied with Skaros'' behaviour before focusing on his world. "Purple¡­use this Normal World Core for your evolution into the Standard World Tree." With a thought, Ajax summoned the tree spirit of the Lesser World Tree out of the tree and gave a Normal World Core to her. As the tree spirit, she could tell that it was Ajax who was nurturing her and thus, she was absolutely loyal to him. She carefully took the Normal World Cores and nodded her head with shining light in her eyes. ''Swoosh'' After that, she didn''t waste any time in returning to the Lesser World Tree and waited for Ajax to give out thest drop of nt Essence that was required to reach her 10000 years and initiate her evolution process. ''Swoosh'' The Lesser World Tree that was waiting for that single drop didn''t ''Drop'' Ajax carefully dropped a single drop of nt Essence on the ground. ''Swoosh'' The Lesser World Tree that was waiting for that single drop didn''t waste any time and absorbed it in no time. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has reached 10,000 years and has borne two Lesser World Fruits and two Eternal World Fruits. ''Ding, The host''s Lesser World Tree has met the requirements and initiated an evolution to be a Standard World Tree. Estimated evolution time: 24 hours. With a single drop of nt Essence, there were almost no changes in the Lesser World Tree; however, it bore four fruits and at the same time, it even initiated the evolution process. Once the evolution process started, the entire tree shone with a bright light and beneath that light, it rapidly extended its branches all over the Purple Stone World. ****** Increase Ajax''s Poprity in the event and get Bonus Chapters every day. Chapter 1799 Meeting Old Acquaintances Chapter 1799 Meeting Old Acquaintances ''With its evolution, I havepleted my main mission ining to the Purple Stone World.'' Seeing the shining and rapidly growing Lesser World Tree after triggering its evolution, Ajax nodded his head with satisfaction. ''Siora, crush these fruits.'' Ajax gave the six Lesser World Fruits to Siora and asked her to crush them again and once again, Ajax received some good treasures. ''Ding, 1) Greater World Core x 2. 2) Rule Increment Crystal x 2. (One is bound to Siora and the second one can be used by anyone). 3) Profession Awakening Crystal x 2. (One is bound to Siora and the second one can be used by anyone). ''The Lesser World Fruits that appear at an older age of the tree give some rare items.'' Ajax was not surprised to see two different types of itemsing out of the Lesser World Fruits; however, what surprised Ajax was that among the two simr items, only one is bound to Siora whereas the other one can be used by anyone. ''This [Twin Joy] is really giving me joy.'' Ajax could not help but give credit to the Lesser World Tree''s first ability as he started checking the information on those new items. From the names of the items, Ajax could tell the use of those items; however, he knew there would be more than what the names of the items said. Hence, it was his habit to check the full information of the items using the system in order not to miss any important things about the items. ''Ding, Item Name: Rule Increment Crystal. Grade: Special Mythcial Grade. Use: Using this Crystal, a cultivator can increase the awakening percentage of one of his Divine Rules by a random percent depending on the existing awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. Note: Using more crystals would decrease the efficiency of the crystals. ''Ding, Item Name: Profession Awakening Crystal. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Use: Upon using his Crystal, a cultivator could awaken a random profession in the universe. The random profession includes the ancient professions that disappeared in the river of items. Note: A cultivator can use only one crystal to awaken a random profession. ''Siora and I can use these crystals.'' After checking the information on the items, Ajax decided to use the additional items that appeared thanks to the [Twin Joy] for himself. As for Siora, she could use the crystals that were already bound to her. ''However, let''s not use them here. We will have enough time on the Floating Ind to use it.'' Ajax didn''t want to waste his time in awakening new professions here as he didn''t know how much time it would take. As for the Rule Increment Crystal, he could use it instantly; however, Siora would take some time to use it to increase the awakening percentage of her Divine Rule. She was not Ajax''s contracted spirit beast or an Elemental Spirit for Ajax to use the System to instantly increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule. ''Also, I still have to meet the Vagrant Cultivators, and Edmond, to check on how they are doing.'' After Ajax became the Emperor of the Purple Stone World, he hardly met them or talked to them. Hence, he wanted to use this time to talk with them for a while and check on how they were doing. "Siora, let''s go." Of course, before he left the Cursed Wilderness, Ajax didn''t forget to meet the leaders of the Inner Section of the Cursed Wilderness and helped them give some resources that were helpful to the Spirit Beasts. For Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts, these cultivation resources were useless and thus, he was generous and gave away all the King Grade resources to them. On the other hand, those Spirit Beast Leaders were excited as their loyalty to Ajax increased to the next level. ¡­. ''Divine Spirit Consciousness'' As the Emperor of the World, Ajax could temporarily enter into a state where nothing in the world would escape his eyes. In that state, he could see the Secret Realm connected to the World and could gain ess to them. Since the Vagrant Cultivators like to spend most of their time in the Secret Realms, Ajax decided to use that ability to check on them. ''It looks like they were going all out in training their disciples in Astral Heart.'' Astral Heart is one of the secret realms connected to the Purple Stone World and after Ajax became the Emperor of the World and increased the grade of the world to the peak Normal World, these secret realms were also upgraded. The Astral Heart is a secret realm owned by one of the Vagrant Cultivators named Elek who specializes in soul-rted cultivation techniques. Currently, all these Vagrant Cultivators were in the Astral Heart and were watching the intense training of their disciples in the Astral Mountain. ''Swoosh'' With a swoosh, Ajax brought Siora into the Secret Realm as he muttered, ''This secret realm and that Astral Mountain brings back memories.'' Back then, Ajax was also one of these disciples who entered the Secret Realm to train his soul; however, he ended up absorbing Astral Energy that could heal the soul-rted injuries. ''After my Spirit Consciousness upgraded into Divine Spirit Consciousness, the Sacred Astral Space has disappeared and the Divine Essence of Nature has gained the properties of both Sacred Energy and Astral Energy which could heal both physical and soul injuries.'' Ajax thought about how the individual space in his body disappeared after he upgraded his Spirit Consciousness. Currently, except for the Divine Jade Space, there was no other space in his body and Ajax believed that it might also get integrated into his Divine Spirit Consciousness when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm. ''Swoosh'' "Ajax, you finally got the time to visit these old men." Just as Ajax was reminiscing in the Astral Heart''s secret realm, a few silhouettes shed as six old men appeared in front of him. "Sir Elek, Madam Sandra, Sir Esmund, Sir Seward, Sir Ramon¡­it''s been a while." Ajax came out of his thoughts and politely bowed to them with a slight smile on his face. Chapter 1800 Meeting Old Acquaintances (2) Chapter 1800 Meeting Old Acquaintances (2) "We thought you would forget us once he started exploring the foreign worlds." "Yeah¡­from the looks of it, you have even gained apanion." The Vagrant Cultivators were happy that Ajax remembered them and hade to pay a visit to them. Also, they noticed Siora and with a nce, they could tell that Siora was a powerful Elf. So, they were careful with their words. "Meet my fiancee, Siora. She is the Queen of Forest Elves in another one of the worlds that I own." Ajax briefly gave Siora''s details as he asked, "By the way, you know the Five Elemental World, right?" "Yes. How could we not know about it?" "We are even nning to see our disciples to that world for the sake of training." "I heard the essence of nature in that world isparable to that of a Greater World." When they heard about Siora''s background, they were surprised for a moment; however, with Ajax''s current achievements, they were not surprised much in getting a beautiful and powerfulpanion like Siora. As for the Five Elemental World, almost everyone in the Purple Stone World knows about it and cultivators even visited it. Ajax had already established teleportation centers that helped the cultivators and other intelligent beasts to use the teleportation centers to travel between his worlds. However, the thing is, there were some restrictions in using it. First, the cultivators who had reached the King Realm were allowed and those who were yet to reach that realm could only focus on their cultivation in the Purple Stone World. Moreover, the cost of a round trip to the Five Elemental World was very highpared to the Normal Dwarf World and the Normal Elven World. Since the Normal Dwarf World produces lots of weapons, the price to enter that world is very cheap as he had to exhaust the weapons produced by the dwarves. As for the Normal Elven World, before Ajax nurtured his second Lesser World Tree, it was a barren world and there was nothing that could make the King Realm Cultivators enter it. Hence, the only world the Knig Realm Cultivators wanted to enter was the Five Elemental World which was filled with countless natural cultivation resources along with the pure Essence of Nature in the world. Therefore, Ajax had set the price of 10000 high-level spirit stones for a round trip to the Five Elemental World and the tripsted for only seven days. Also, there were only round trips and all the cultivators who entered the Five Elemental World should be returned within a week as it would make the poption of the Five Elemental World and the Purple Stone Worldpletely messed up. "Respected Vagrant Cultivators, I won''t waste much time and will directlye to the point." After the formal introductions and greetings were done, Ajax directly said the purpose of his visit, "I havee here to repay for your help from the past." In the past, Ajax used these Vagrant Cultivators to protect himself from King Stephen. Even though it was only for a short period of time, it helped Ajax gain enough time to be powerful enough to protect himself. As someone who always repaid the help he received in the past, Ajax had already thought of the Vagrant Cultivators to repay for their help in the past. "Repay our help?" "We didn''t even help you much and you have already repaid us by saving the Purple Stone World from the demon invasion." . . The Vagrant Cultivators shook their heads with slight smiles on their faces as they rejected Ajax''s help. "Don''t reject it before hearing me out." On the other hand, Ajax knew about these Vagrant Cultivators'' personalities as he knew what kind of gifts they would not reject. "There are so many new things in this universe and a much bigger realm above us. As long as you break through to the Emperor Realm, you can learn about those things and even venture into those worlds and realms." Ajax tempted them as he didn''t wait for their reply he gave some pills them before exining their use, "As long as you consume these pills, you will break through to the Emperor Realm." "What?" "Instant breakthrough to the Emperor Realm?" Hearing Ajax''s words, the hesitating Vagrant Cultivators were momentarily shocked as they looked at the green-coloured pills in their hands. With Ajax''s current status and ability, getting his hands on the Realm Breaking Pills was as easy as breathing air. Moreover, if he wants, he could even refine those pills on his own. "Th-these¡­since you are insisting, we will take it." The Vagrant Cultivators didn''t have much time left to live as their lifespan wasing to an end. With their peak King Realm Cultivation, their natural lifespan was 1000 years and adding the life-prolonging cultivation resources, it might be around 1200 years. Currently, almost all these Vagrant Cultivators had crossed 1000 years and their chances of breaking through to the Emperor Realm were almost impossible. Hence, they didn''t hesitate after learning about the pill''s uses. "Also, once you break through to the Emperor Realm, use these pills to awaken a bloodline." On the other hand, Ajax didn''t stop with those Realm Breaking Pills, but he also gave top-level Bloodline Awakening Pills that would allow them to awaken a Bloodline. Not only for them, but he also gave enough Bloodline Awakening Pills for their disciples and Edmond. "I sensed that Uncle Edmond and his son Daniel are in seclusion. Give them these Bloodline Awakening Pills after theye out of their seclusion." Ajax wanted to talk with Edmond to whom Ajax felt very grateful in his life; however, he was currently in a seclusion. So, he didn''t want to disturb him as he left some rank 7 pills for him and his son. As for his friends, Damon, Lewis, Jeff and others who became the disciples of the Vagrant Cultivators, Ajax met them, and talked to them; however, he didn''t give them any cultivation resources as they were already seeing enough from their masters. "Once you reach the Emperor Realm, I will help you venture to the outside world." Chapter 1801 Second Special World Fruit Chapter 1801 Second Special World Fruit "Once you reach the Emperor Realm, I will help you venture to the outside world." Ajax assured them regarding their future path; however, before that, they had to be the Emperor Realm Cultivators. If it was before, the cultivators in the Purple Stone World would have a hard time bing Emperor Realm Cultivators; however, now, there would be a Standard World Tree in the Purple Stone World, making it almostparable to a low-level Greater World. Moreover, thanks to Siora''s help, Ajax was able to get some good inflow of World Cores and along with the World Cores he could get from the Golden Demon Territory, Ajax was nning to upgrade all his worlds including the Purple Stone Word into Greater Worlds. Once that happens, the newborn natives in these worlds would have a modified physique and along with the pure essence of nature, their cultivation would be as fast as bing the King Realm Cultivators before the age of 100 or even 50 years could be possible thanks to the Standard World Tree in each one of these worlds. ''As for the Divine Rules and the Heavenly Realms, it is still not the right time to exin them.'' Ajax didn''t mention anything about the Divine Rules and the ascension of the Heavenly Realm, as it would only make the cultivators have distracting thoughts. "We will be relying on you in the future then." Ajax''s friends didn''t hesitate to take Ajax''s help in the future because everyone had gone through their share of troubles in the past and the only way to escape all these troubles would be by bing stronger. Since Ajax had already be so powerful and was willing to help them, only fools would reject such an offer. After talking with his friends for a while, Ajax and Siora directly left the Purple Stone World and returned to the Normal Elven World before Ajax received a system notification. ''Ding, The host''s second Lesser World Tree has sessfully evolved into a Standard World Tree. Of course, it was not the only system notification that Ajax received. There were another two of them. ''Ding, The host''s Standard World Tree has awakened its second ability [Magical World Connection]. ''Ding, The Standard World Tree has borne a Special World Fruit to show its gratitude to the nurturer. ''The Special World Fruit is finally here.'' Ajax was very excited about the Special World Fruit because thest time he consumed it, he awakened the Divine nt Rule which was almost impossible for a human to awaken. Even for the Forest Elves, only a few selected ones could awaken that Divine Rule. So, of course, Ajax was excited about consuming the second Special World Fruit. ''Wait a second¡­I should just give this fruit to Siora¡­no, I will let her have the Special World Tree produced by her mother. It might give her something special.'' For a second, Ajax thought of giving the Special World Fruit to Siora because he received so many good things thanks to her and giving her a Special World Fruit was not a bad idea. Moreover, even if he gave her that Special World Fruit, he could still get two Special World Fruits once his third and fourth Lesser World Treesplete their evolution. However, when he thought of how Siora was connected to his third Lesser World Tree, Ajax decided to give her the next Special World Fruit which would appear after a couple of hours. ''Kacha'' After exining his thoughts to Siora, Ajax eats the Special World Fruit in a few bites. ''Ding, The host has consumed a Special World Fruit and awakened a Divine nt Rule. ''Ding, Since the host already has a Divine nt Rule, the second Divine nt Rule will be merged with the first one and increase the awakening percentage. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the host''s Divine nt Rule will be increased from 1 to 20 percent. As soon as Ajax consumed the Special World Fruit, his entire body was covered in a bright green-coloured light as the grass on the ground around him started growing at a rapid speed. At the same time, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made Ajax frown for a moment; however, when he thought about it, he felt it was not a bad thing. ''If I used the Greater World Cores, I would have needed at least 5 of them to increase the awakening percentage to 20 percent. So, it''s alright!'' Currently, the Greater World Cores has be cheap for Ajax and that''s the reason why he was not excited with the huge increase in the awakening percentage of the Divine nt Rule. ''If it has reached 20 percent, then I can use the Divine nt Rule again, right?'' Ajax was excited about it; however, he was not in a hurry to use it as he already nned which World Tree he should nurture from this point in time. ''Also, I still have 2 Lesser World Tree Seeds; however, I need a world to nurture them.'' The worlds that Ajax officially own under his title are: The Purple Stone World, The Five Elemental World, The Normal Elven World and The Normal Dwarven World. With the help of his title, Ajax could instantly teleport to this world without any problem. ''I can nt the Lesser World Tree Seeds in the Normal Dwarven World.'' Even though it was under the Jade Dragon Emperor''s rule ording to the agreement, Uncle Draven had not deployed anyone and it was still Ajax who was looking after the world. Of course, it was the Dwarven City Heads that Ajax appointed back, who were taking care of their own cities. Hence, Ajax decided to nurture a Lesser World Tree in that world as it might awaken the abilities that would help the Dwarfs in the world. ''As for thest Lesser World Tree Seed, I think I should experiment with it and nt it in the Greater Golden Demon World.'' Since Wingo was his subordinate, Ajax decided to nt one of his Lesser World Trees in that world. ''However, I am not going to nt these two Lesser World Tree Seeds in the Normal Dwarven World and the Greater Golden Demon World for now. I will do it after Iplete my two trips.'' In half a day, Ajax had a trip to enter the Floating Ind and after returning from it, Ajax would be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. Ajax believed that by the time hepleted these two trips, he would be so powerful that he didn''t have to worry about the top five sects¡­at least the individual attacks from the sects. As for thebined attacks, the top five sects won''t be able to form an alliance within a short time and by them, Ajax had full confidence that he would be even more powerful. ''All the confidence I have regarding those ns included that I won''t be getting the Divine Grade Fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm. However, if I get a Divine Grade Fruit and convert my Spirit Cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation¡­hehe.'' Ajax chuckled when he thought of getting a Divine Grade Fruit. ''I really hope to get a Divine Grade Fruit; however, even if I don''t get it, with my strength, I will be powerful enough to take care of anyone.'' Ajax might sound arrogant; however, he was very confident in his skills and the Divine Rules that he had awakened so far. ''Anyway, let''s check the changes in my Divine nt Rule and before that, I should check out the new ability of the tree.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax checked the full information of the Lesser World Tree. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree (Elven). Tree Age: 10000 years old. Fruits: Standard World Tree (1000 years), Eternal World Tree (5000 years). Abilities: [Tree Bonding], [Magical World Connection]. In no time, the system showed him the basic information about the tree. ''Let''s check the changes in its first ability.'' As far as Ajax remembered, all the first abilities of the Lesser World Tree would be modified as their age grows and since the Lesser World Tree has been sessfully evolved, it was not too much of a shock for the changes in the first ability of the Lesser World Tree. Hence, Ajax checked the information on it. ''Ding, Ability Name: Tree Bonding. Use: All the natives in the world have 100 additional years added to their lifespan. Note: With the age and evolution of the tree, more years of lifespan will be added to their natives living in the same world as the tree. Master: Ajax. As the master of the Lesser World Tree, the nurturer will get 1000 years of additional lifespan and it would increase more by nurturing the tree. ''The overall effect of this ability increased by 100 times after evolution. Excellent.'' Ajax was extremely satisfied with the changes in the first abilities of the Lesser World Tree. A 100-year increase in the lifespan might be very shortpared to the Emperor Realm Cultivator''s lifespan which could live for 10,000 years; however, it was still very useful and important for most of the cultivators who were yet to break through to the Emperor Realm. For King Realm Cultivators who could live for only 1000 years, they could use these 100 years to sessfully break through to the Emperor Realm..of course, they could also increase their lifespan even more by consuming the life-prolonging cultivation resources. As for Ajax, he could live for 20000 years with his Divine Body Cultivation and now, another 1000 years were added to his lifespan. So, of course, he was happy about it as he checked the second ability of the Lesser World Tree. Chapter 1802 [Bonus chapter] Enhanced Nurturer Chapter 1802 [Bonus chapter] Enhanced Nurturer ''Ding, Ability Name: Magical World Connection. Use: The Tree can expand its branches to the worlds surrounding the world it was in and form a magical connection with those worlds. Connected Worlds: 0 / 3. Benefits of the connection: The natives of the world can travel between the worlds after getting the approval of the Standard World Tree. Note: There are limitations on the number of cultivators that could travel to the connected worlds and the time they could stay in those worlds. Soon, the information on the Standard World Tree''s second ability appeared in front of Ajax, making him frown a little. ''I thought it would awaken an ability to make the cultivators stronger; however, it only lets them enter other worlds.'' Ajax was a little disappointed with the Lesser World Tree''s second ability; however, he felt that his requirements for the abilities were bing higher and higher. The World Trees can''t awaken the abilities that make the cultivators in the world stronger all the time. ''For now, there is no need to use this ability as there is not enough poption in the world.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t want to use the ability for now because the forest elves in the world didn''t have any need to go out of the world¡­at least for now. One of the main reasons why the cultivators leave their own worlds and venture into the outside worlds is in the search for cultivation resources. For the forest elves in the world, there was no need as there were only 1000 elves in the world. "Let''s go, Siora." Ajax didn''t waste any time in the Normal Elven World as he sent Siora into the Inner World before teleporting to the Five Elemental World. ¡­ In the Ancient Evergreen Woods, Five Elemental World, ''There is still an hour before Mother-inw finishes her evolution. Until then, I will check out the information on my Divine nt Rule.'' After checking out the estimated time for thepletion of the evolution of the Lesser World Tree, Ajax focused on his Divine nt Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: nt (20 percent). Type: Special and Support. Effect: 1) Upon activation of the Divine Rule, the cultivator can speed up the growth of any nt or tree, including Divine Trees. Skill: Enhanced Nurturing: The normal effect of the Divine Rule will be enhanced by 10 times for a minute with a two-minute cooldown. Duration: 10 Minutes. Cooldown: One Week. Note: For the trees above 10000 years, it takes 100 times the effort required to nurture the trees below 10000 years. ''Even though I didn''t know exactly how much the normal effect has changed, the new skill under the Divine nt Rule will be very useful for me.'' Looking at the information of his Divine nt Rule, Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction. As for the note under the Divine nt Rule, Ajax was not surprised about it as he already learned it when he tried to use the Divine nt Rule to nurture the Standard World Tree in his Inner World. Previously, for every minute, Ajax was able to nurture the Less World Tree by 100 years per minute and now, the duration of the talent is 10 minutes. Moreover, with the special skill under the Divine Rule, Ajax could nurture a tree by 1000 years in a single minute. ''Of course, this is valid for the trees below 10000 years; however, it is still very useful as I can increase the age of a Lesser World Tree by 4600 years per week and it would be 46 years for the Standard World Tree.'' For now, Ajax was satisfied with his Divine nt Rule and he had high expectations of increasing its awakening percentage in the future. ''Since I am not nning to nt the two Lesser World Tree seeds anytime soon, I will nurture the Standard World Tree in my Inner World.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax entered the Inner World with a thought and without wasting any time, Ajax activated his Divine nt Rule. There was still some time before his Mother-inwpleted her evolution and after today, Ajax would be busy in the Floating Ind. Hence, he decided to use the Divine nt Rule right away because he could use it again when he returned from the Floating Ind. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine nt Rule and activated the skill [Enhanced Nurturer]. ''Ding, The Standard World Tree''s age increased by 10 years in a minute. ''Ding, The Standard World Tree''s age increased by a year in a minute. . ''Ding, The Standard World Tree''s age increased by 10 years in a minute. ''Ding, The Standard World Tree''s age increased by a year in a minute. . . . After every two minutes, Ajax could activate the skill [Enhanced Nurturer] to increase the age of the Standard World Tree by 10 years and for the remaining time, the age would be increased by a year. In total, by the time Ajax''s Divine nt Rule was deactivated after 10 minutes, the Standard World Tree''s age increased by 46 years and reached nearly 11000 years. ''With 1600 drops of nt Essence, I can sessfully nurture it to 11000 years and get a Standard World Fruit.'' When he saw that he could nurture the Standard World Tree in his Inner World for 11000 years, he became a little curious to see what kind of treasure he would get from the Standard World Fruit. ''The items received from the Standard World Fruit will be much better than the Lesser World Fruit and if I let Siora crush it, then I would get even more good treasures, right?'' With that thought in mind, Ajax poured all the nt Essence he had with him for the Standard World Tree to absorb. ''Ding, The host''s Standard World Tree has reached 11000 years and has borne a Standard World Fruit. After the Lesser World Tree became a Standard World Tree, even the 1000 years of nurturing didn''t make much difference in the tree as only a single dark green-coloured fruit appeared on one of its branches. Chapter 1803 Heavenly Realms Resource Chapter 1803 Heavenly Realm''s Resource With a Standard World Fruit in his hands, Ajax left his Inner World and gave the fruit to Siora to crush it. ''Ding, Siora has crushed the Standard World Fruit and gained a Jade Pool Crystal (Smaller). ''Swoosh'' Following the system notification, a small crystal appeared in Siora''s hands. ''A Jade Pool Crystal? Don''t tell them it is rted to the Jade Pool in the Greater Jade Dragon World?'' When he read the name of the treasure Siora got from the Standard World Fruit, Ajax could not help but think about the Jade Pool that could upgrade the cultivator''sws, souls and even the awakening percentage Divine Rules. Therefore, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly checked the information on it. ''Ding, Treasure Name: Jade Pool Crystal (Smaller). Grade: Low-level Quasi Divine Grade. Use: Burying this Crystal will produce a Smaller Jade Pool that could help a limited cultivator in increasing their Cultivator''s Laws. ''Ding, Resource Name: Smaller Jade Pool. Grade: Low-level Quasi Divine Grade. Use: Using a Giant Jade Crystal, the Smaller Jade Pool can work for an entire year while hosting 10 cultivators at a time. Note: 1) Even though it can help the cultivators in upgrading their Laws into Souls, it would take quite a long timepared to upgrading the Laws from level 1 to level 10. 2) It can be upgraded to a Normal Jade Pool by collecting Smaller Jade Pool Crystals or a Normal Jade Pool Crystal. Soon, the full information about the Crystals and the Smaller Jade Pool appeared in front of Ajax''s eyes which was well within his expectations. Since Ajax had experienced the Normal Jade Pool and even a Greater Jade Pool, he knew how rare and useful this Jade Pool was. ''Even though it was only a Smaller Jade Pool, it would be very useful for the King Realm Cultivators and below.'' Ajax was satisfied with the treasure he received from the Standard World Fruit as he muttered, ''So, from the Standard World Fruits, I can receive the resources from the Heavenly Realm.'' As far as Ajax knew, the Jade Pool was a cultivation resource that was specially bestowed to him by the Jade Dragon Ancestor who ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm in the past. In the beginning, even the Jade Dragon Emperor received a Smaller Jade Pool and eventually, with the help of that Ancestor, he was able to upgrade it to the Greater Jade Pool. ''A Greater Jade Pool is a cultivation resource that could make even the peak-level Emperor Realm powerhouses go crazy as they could increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules.'' Right now, the Smaller Jade Pool might not be useful to the powerful cultivators; however, there will be a day when Ajax is confident in upgrading the Smaller Jade Pool to the highest levels and making all the cultivators in his world be the powerhouses of the entire universe. These types of resources were only avable in the Heavenly Realm or at least that''s what Ajax believed because the ancestors who ascended to the Heavenly Realm were able to bestow these things. If they were not avable in the Heavenly Realms, then how could they bestow these cultivation resources to their descendants? ''If I can get such a treasure in a Standard World Fruit, then I can get simr treasures like Floating Ind, Dragon Soul Mirror, Ancient Dragon''s Wisdom Tome and the other things that were bestowed by the Ancestors from the Heavenly Realms.'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax became excited as he wanted to enter the Trader''s Realm to collect the 250 million drops of nt Essence. However, Leo didn''t have the funds to buy them¡­at least for now. To get them, Ajax had to wait until the Celestial Dawn Realm officially opened. Even then, Ajax won''t be able to collect the products from hismission as he would be in the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''Once I return from the Celestial Dawn Realm, I can sell the cultivation resources like Giant Crystals to pay the Special Notice Service Center and go all out in nurturing the Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree.'' Ajax was excited about it; however, he suppressed all his thoughts as he knew with high expectations came a huge disappointment. ''For now, I should not think about all those things and go with the flow.'' Since Ajax had already thought about his future, he decided not to think too much about it unless it was something important. ''As for the best ce for this Smaller Jade Pool will be right under this Standard World Tree.'' Even though Ajax''s mother-inw was yet toplete her evolution, he had already considered a Standard World Tree as he found a good ce for his Smaller Jade Pool. Currently, a Smaller Jade Pool was nothing enticing in Ajax''s eyes and even the Greater Jade Pool was not something that he would want to enter directly. Because almost all his Divine Rules have been capped with his current cultivation and thus, he didn''t want to keep it in his Inner World where he didn''t want to bring other cultivators into it. Therefore, if he created the Smaller Jade Pool close to his Mother-inw, she could be the guardian of the Jade Pool and at the same time, the cultivators who needed to use the Smaller Jade Pool could enter it by paying some price. ''If it is free, everyone wants to enter it and unlike the Normal Elven World, the poption in the Five Elemental World was a little crazy.'' A Jade Pool was a cultivation resource that could be used by all the living beings that could cultivate and awaken the Laws and Souls. In the Five Elemental World, which had a huge poption that could cultivate and awaken Laws and Souls, it would be a hugepetition for them to enter the Smaller Jade Pool. Thus, Ajax decided to keep entry restrictions along with a price to enter the Smaller Jade Pool. ''As for the restrictions, it should be in a way that maximizes the benefits of a Smaller Jade Pool.'' Since there was still some time before his Mother-inw couldplete her evolution, Ajax started thinking about the restrictions and the requirements along with the price. ''The first and main restriction should be that only Elite General Realm Cultivator or Rank 6 beasts are allowed.'' ording to the information on the Smaller Jade Pool, it would be very useful for these cultivators and beasts because it would be very hard to increase the levels of their souls. So, with that restriction, the Smaller Jade Pool could be fully utilized. Time continued to pass and after thinking for a few moments, Ajax fully finished the allocation of the slots for the Smaller Jade Pool. With a single thought, Ajax summoned Raweth, Sparrow, Snow who was currently in a Soul Orb form, Erro, the Ghost Fox Tribe''s Leader, Cren, the Tailed Spirit Fox Tribe''s Leader, Deon, the Demonic Fox Tribe''s Leader, and Brutus, the Mountain Lions'' Head. "Siora, give me the Crystal." ''Swoosh'' Taking the Crystal from Siora, Ajax buried it in the location he had selected in front of all the leaders of the Five Elemental World. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the ground where Ajax buried that crystal was covered in a bright light and slowly, a radius of 100 meters around it turned into water, making it into a small pool. At the same time, this entire 100-meter radius of the pool was covered by a white mist that blocked the senses of everyone who tried to look into the Smaller Jade Pool. ''Ding, The host has used the Smaller Jade Pool Crystal to create a Smaller Jade Pool Crystal. The entire process took around 10 minutes under the surprised looks of all the leaders of the Five Elemental World. "This is called the Smaller Jade Pool and it can be used¡­." Once the Smaller Jade Pool had been created, Ajax started exining to them about the Cultivation Resource on how it could help the cultivators increase the Cultivator''s Laws or the Bestial Laws. "What? There is such a rare cultivation resource?" Everyone was surprised for a moment and waited for Ajax to finish his words. "However, it can be hosted by only 10 cultivators or beasts at a single time. So, I have decided on the allocation of those 10 spots." Ajax looked at each and every one before exining the main part. "The three tribes in the Shixato Wilds, the Fire Crow, Lightning Hawk and Nether Ice Sparrow. Each tribe will get a spot where they could send a Rank 6 Re-cultivated beast into the Smaller Jade Pool." "From the Western Fox Lands, the other three tribes, Demonic Fox, Ghost Fox and Tailed Spirit Fox will get one spot each." "From the Mountain Lions Tribe, two Mountain Lions can enter where thest two slots are for the Forest Elves in the Ancient Evergreen Woods," Ajax informed everyone as he added a few restrictions like a cultivator could only stay in the Smaller Jade Pool for one month before being reced by a new Cultivator. The Cultivation of the Beast or the Cultivator should be Elite General Realm or Rank 6 and they should at least have one Cultivator''s Law or a Bestial Law. "As for the price to enter the Smaller Jade Pool will be 100 High-level Spirit Stones per year and the tribe leaders should pay for that." Ajax set a small price which the leaders of the Five Elemental World didn''t mind. ''Ding, The host''s third Lesser World Tree has sessfully evolved into a Standard World Tree. Chapter 1804 [World Attracter] Chapter 1804 [World Attracter] ''Ding, The host''s third Lesser World Tree has sessfully evolved into a Standard World Tree. Just as Ajax finished his exnation and allocation of the Smaller Jade Pool, he received the system notification, Ajax made him put all his thoughts aside before looking at the huge tree in front of him. The Standard World Tree in front of him looked majestic and from his current location, Ajax was unable to see the top of the tree that was so high and covered by the clouds. As for the tree''s branches, they extended almost 50 percent of the Five Elemental World in the sky. As for the roots, they were deeply rooted and covered the entire Five Elemental World. ''Ding, The host''s Standard World Tree has borne a Special World Fruit to show her gratitude to you. ''Ding, Also, after the evolution, the Standard World Tree has awakened two new abilities. Please check them out. Just like any other Lesser World Tree that sessfullypleted its evolution into the Standard World Tree, Ajax''s mother-inw also bore a Special World Fruit. "Siora, pick that Special World Fruit and consume it." Since Ajax had already decided to give Siora at least one of the Special World Fruits, Ajax didn''t think much as he asked her to pick the fruit and consume it. "Yes, Ajax." Hearing Ajax''s words, Siora revealed a bright smile and didn''t hesitate or modest as he epted his words. ''Swoosh'' However, before she could do anything, her mother, the Standard World Tree, extended the branch on which the Special World Fruit had borne. "Thank you, Mother." She thanked her Mother before picking the fruit and consumed it without any hesitation. ''While she eats it and absorbs the benefits from the fruit, I should check out the two new abilities that Mother-inw has awakened.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax asked for the full information about the Standard World Tree in front of him. Moreover, Ajax was a little excited about the abilities of his third Standard World Tree because, unlike the Second Standard World Tree, this tree had awakened two abilities afterpleting its evolution. The Standard World Tree in Ajax''s Inner World has three abilities and his Mother-inw has three abilities. Having more abilities means, the more things it could do and more useful it would be. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree (Siona). Tree Age: 10000 years old. Fruits: Standard World Tree (1000 years), Eternal World Tree (5000 years). Abilities: 1) Mother of Forest Elves: Every 1000 years, 10000 Elves will be born with at least 100 of them having an Extraordinary Cultivation Body. 2) Pure Essence st: For every 1000 years, the Standard World Tree will release a burst of pure Essence of Nature that isparable to a peak Greater World and the session willst for one hour. During this one hour, the cultivators could destroy their inner demons and skip the bottlenecks. 3) World Attracter: An ability that can be used only once every 1000 years and upon activation, the Standard World Tree can pull the owner of smaller worlds closer to the Five Elemental World. Once they are close enough, it can connect those worlds with the Five Elemental World forming an interconnector between the worlds. Note: There is a small chance of attracting a Normal World with this ability. Soon, the full information appeared in front of Ajax, making him fully satisfied with his Mother-inw''s abilities. ''Pure Essence st can help all the cultivators in the world in improving their cultivation whereas the World Attracter increases the control of the Standard World Tree over the other worlds.'' With more worlds, there would be more cultivators and more followers or armies for Ajax in the future. With more cultivators under his rule, Ajax could rapidly explore the Dark Region and unveil its secrets in the Dark Region. ''I am curious about what''s behind the Dark Region.'' Ascending to the Heavenly Realm and how a Heavenly Realm looks and works was one of the curious thoughts for Ajax. However, as a human, there were many other curious thoughts in his head. What is in the depths of the Dark Region? What is behind the Dark Region? Is there another universe like theirs? If there was another universe, then how would it be? Will there be cultivators in the universe who were following the same cultivation system as them or will it be different? When Ajax thought about it, there was never an end to his curious thoughts and of course, Ajax wanted to slowly and steadily find an answer to one thing after another. ''It looks like Mother-inw has awakened the abilities that I was looking for my World Trees to have.'' Among the three Standard World Trees that Ajax had nurtured so far, only Siona, the third Standard World Tree, has all three abilities that were useful for creating armies. ''As long as I nurture the two seeds I have, I will be having six Standard World Trees which I can slowly nurture to 10000 years old. As for the [Tree of Blessing], I should also start nurturing it with the First Standard World.'' Ajax had already nned to nurture one of these trees for 10,000 years before focusing on the other Standard World Trees. Along with that First Standard World Tree, Ajax was nning to nurture the [Tree of Blessing] because once he enters the Floating Ind, he would have a huge number of Elemental Spirits. Moreover, after eating the Fruit of Summoners, all the Unofficial Elemental Spirits under him would be Offical Elemental Spirits. So, he needs to have the help of the [Tree of Blessing] to let all his Elemental Spirits awaken the Elemental Ascendance. Even though he could help them with the Giant Crystals, there would be some rare elemental spirits like Halo (Time), Prophis (Space), Haze (Mist), Lumin (Light) and Blood (Blood). Also, in his next two visits to the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax might form contracts with even more rare and special elemental spirits. So, the [Tree of Blessing] is a must for him to bring all his Elemental Spirits to the Heavenly Realm along with him. ''Swoosh'' While Ajax was lost in thoughts regarding the nurturing of the World Trees and other trees in his Inner World, Siora''s entire body was covered in green light. ''Huh? An Enlightenment?'' Ajax had seen¡­no¡­to be exact, experienced something simr as he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host''s fiancee has gained enlightenment in her cultivation. ''Ding, Her cultivation has sessfully reached the peak of the Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of her two Divine Rules, the Divine Life Rule and the Divine Nature Rule, has been rapidly increasing. ''What? Rapidly increasing?'' When Ajax saw those system notifications, he was shocked as he looked at Siora with an unbelievable look in his eyes. ''It is the effect of the Special World Fruit that she ate. I think I should have let her use the Profession Awakening Crystal.'' Since Siora was getting enlightenment into her cultivation and the Divine Rules, Ajax thought it might have been possible for Siora to increase her mastery over her newly awakened profession. ''It''s alright! I should not be too greedy about it.'' Shaking his head, Ajax shook off those thoughts as he became curious about Siora''s Divine Rules. ''If the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules were rapidly increasing, then how high would they reach?'' Unlike Ajax, Siora didn''t have any restrictions because her cultivation had already reached the peak of the Emperor Realm and could increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules to as high as she could. Hence, Ajax was very excited and curious about it as he could not wait to check out Siora''s Divine Rules. Also, Ajax was not envious of Siora''s enlightenment; instead, he was excited to have a powerful wife beside him. ''With her strength, we will bepletely dominating the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' Ajax was looking forward to their adventures in the Celestial Dawn Realm because, with their strength, there would be no one in the Celestial Dawn Realm that could stop them. Even though the age limit of the Celestial Dawn Realm was increased to 500 years, only a few talent cultivators could awaken the Divine Rules before that age and there would be even fewer who increased the awakening percentage to 20 percent. As for the participants having a Divine Rule with more than 20 percent, Ajax felt it was almost impossible and even if there were a few cultivators, with various Divine Rules, Ajax was confident in taking care of them. Moreover, from the looks of Siora''s Enlightenment, Ajax was confident that her two Divine Rules would reach 30 percent or even higher awakening percentage. So, he was fully confident in dominating the Celestial Dawn Realm. Time continued to pass and in a sh, one hour passed by before the green light on Siora disappeared as she sessfully finished her Enlightenment under the shocked, excited and jealous looks of the leaders of the Five Elemental World. Except for the three tribe leaders of the Bird Tribes in the Shixato Wilds, the remaining leaders have lived for more than 1,000 years or even 5,000 years. So, whenever they looked at the younger generation who were having easy breakthroughs thanks to their talent, and luck, they could not help but sigh with envy. Of course, when they looked at Ajax, they felt that their future lies with him and as far as they imagined it was a bright one. "Congrattions, Siora." With a bright smile, Ajax congratted her as he checked the awakening percentage on her Divine Rules and was thoroughly shocked. Chapter 1805 Beautiful Siona Chapter 1805 Beautiful Siona ''Ding, Cultivator''s Name: Siora. Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm. Divine Rules: Divine Life Rule (50 percent awakened) and Divine Nature Rule (50 percent awakened). Ajax briefly checked the information on Siora and when he saw the awakening percentage of her Divine Rules, he could not help but be shocked. He was expecting Siora to have the awakening percentage of her Divine Rules by 30 percent and he didn''t expect her to reach 50 percent. ''She had reached halfway in ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' When Ajax thought about how helpful the enlightenment was for Siora, Ajax was excited as he thought, ''The Special World Fruit¡­is really much more helpful than I imagined.'' So far, Ajax has received three Special World Fruits from the Lesser World Trees that he nurtured and evolved into Standard World Trees. When he consumed the first fruit, Ajax awakened a Divine nt Rule and for the second fruit, the awakening percentage of the Divine nt Rule increased by 19 percent. From these two benefits, Ajax was already satisfied with the Special World Fruit; however, only after seeing how much Siora got benefits with the help of the Special World Fruit, Ajax realized that he was greatly underestimating the Special World Fruit. ''From the Standard World Tree in the Purple Stone World and with the other two seeds which I will eventually turn into Standard World Trees, I will get three more Special World Fruits. I am hoping I will be lucky and get the massive benefits like Siora.'' While thinking that Ajax also thought about something else, ''As for my Fourth Special World Fruit, I can only pick it after returning from the Floating Ind.'' There are less than 12 hours for Ajax to enter the Floating Ind and hence, Ajax cannot be with his Fourth World Tree when itpletes its evolution and hence, he can only pick the fruit after he returns from the Floating Ind. Nevertheless, he was not worried too much about it because no one would dare to pick that fruit until he returned. A Lesser World Tree might not be powerful enough to protect itself against the powerful emperor realm cultivators; however, a Standard World Tree that gives the cultivation resources that could even make the peak emperor realm cultivators go crazy could protect itself from them. Currently, the strongest one in the entire Purple Stone World was Ajax''s grandfather, Boron and if anyone were invading the world, he could take care of them. Even if he didn''t help, the Standard World Tree could take care of itself and protect its fruits. "Siora, from now on, I will be in your care." Soon, Ajax came out of his thoughts as he asked for Siora''s protection. "Don''t worry. Among the forest elves, wives will always take care of the protection of the family." On the other hand, Siora also felt the power she received from consuming the Special World Fruit and seriously nodded her head. Previously, on the Floating Ind, Siora felt helpless and could not help Ajax in taking his revenge; however, now, Siora was confident that she could easily take care of that issue right now. "Also, I could not wait to enter the Floating Ind as we have something to settle in that ce." Siora was very serious when she reminded Ajax about the revenge that was nning to take. "We will be entering the Floating Ind in a few hours and other than revenge, we will be doing something big." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax kept Siora in suspense. ''Something big?'' Siora raised her brows as she thought about it for a moment before joking, ''Don''t tell me you will be taking over the entire Floating Ind.'' Even though Siora had be very powerful and Ajax had some good trump cards, she didn''t believe that Ajax could take over the Floating Ind¡­at least for now. In the future, Siora was fully confident that he would be taking over the entire universe much less a Floating Ind. "That''s right! Earlier, I was a little doubtful about it; however, with your current strength, I am fully confident in taking over Floating Ind." Ajax thought to keep Siora in suspense; however, since she guessed his ns for the Floating Ind, he didn''t keep her in suspense as he exined about it. "..." On the other hand, Siora was speechless hearing Ajax''s confident words; however, she believed him and would help him achieve his goal of taking control of the Floating Ind. "Son-inw, thank you for helping me evolve into a Standard World Tree." Suddenly, Siora''s mother, Siona''s voice resounded as Ajax and Siora looked at the tree. ''Swoosh'' Soon, a beautifuldy covered in a green dress that was fully made from nature-like leaves, branches, and vines. She looked a little simr to Siora; however, Siora was a Forest Elf; however, the beautifuldy lookedpletely like a human. However, everyone knew that she was the tree spirit of the Standard World Tree and Siora''s mother. "It looks like Mother-inw was able to materialize a human form afterpleting the evolution into the Standard World Tree." Ajax was mesmerized by Siona''s beauty beforeing to his senses and saying these words with a slight smile. Even though Ajax was mesmerized by her beauty, he didn''t have any other intentions as they continued their conversation. Time continued to pass and Ajax left Siora with her mother before going to the ce where his father was undergoing the Celestial Transformation. ''It won''t be long before Fatherpletes his Celestial Transformation. After that, I can bring him into the Floating Ind and he could use the special effect of the Floating Ind to increase his cultivation.'' Even though Ajax could instantly teleport to the cave where his father was, Ajax preferred to fly because he wanted to think about his future ns for his father. ''ording to the system, after sessfully undergoing the Celestial Transformation, he could directly reach the King Realm or even if he was lucky, he might reach peak King Realm. So, bringing him with me to the Floating Ind was a good decision.'' ****** Save your reading points and increase the poprity of Ajax and Siora in theing days. Chapter 1806 A Similar Goal Chapter 1806 A Simr Goal Once Aron enters the Floating Ind, he could use the seven years of time to consolidate his cultivation or even break through his cultivation to the Emperor Realm. Thus, Ajax wanted to bring his father to the Floating Ind. ''It looks like he had alreadypleted his Celestial Transformation.'' ''Swoosh'' From the distance, Ajax could no longer see the bright light that he was supposed to see. Hence, he guessed that his father hadpleted the entire process of creating his body. With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he instantly teleported to his father. "Father." Looking at the young man who looked a few years older than him, Ajax called him with an excited look on his face. "Ajax, you arrived." Seeing his son, Aron was excited as he informed, "After Ipleted the Celestial Transformation, my cultivation broke through to peak King Realm with three King Realm Cultivator Souls which could break through to Emperor Realm as long as I consolidate my cultivation.'' Aron was excited while he was informing Ajax about his cultivation because he had never imagined even in his dreams that he could be a peak King Realm Cultivator the moment he created a physical body. Right now, as long as Aron cultivates for a few months and gets used to his new body, he could easily break through to Emperor Realm. So, of course, he was excited and happy. "Also, if everything went as I nned, we can ascend to the Heavenly Realm within 100 years and the chances of meeting your mother would be high." Before Ajax could reply, Aron became excited when he thought about his wife M. Even though M didn''t know about the Heavenly Realms, Aron believed that with the help of the system to which her soul was connected, Aron believed that she would ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Previously, Aron thought that he should search the other universes like theirs because he believed there were many other universes and M was teleported to one of them. However, after learning about the Heavenly Realm, Aron felt that it would be much easier for him to find M after ascending to the Heavenly Realm because he believed that M would also do the same thing. In his both likes, Aron had only loved one person and she was M. In the entire foreign universe, Aron felt that having M beside him forget about his old ce from which he transmigrated. When he was in his first life, Aron used the hobby of killing the Demons in the universe to keep his mind busy; however, when he started having his second life as Vaugh, it was M who helped him forget all the thoughts about his old home. "Really? Congrattions, Father." On the other hand, Ajax didn''t have any idea about his father''s thoughts; instead, he was surprised for a moment to hear his father''s words before congratting him. He was happy as he was looking forward to his father bing stronger and walking on the path of ascending to the Heavenly Realm. ''Father has stayed in this world for a long time and I should make sure that he won''t have any problems ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know his father''s thoughts, he had his own ideas and wanted to help his father as much as possible in ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Before Ajax also believed that his mother would ascend to the Heavenly Realm of what his father said about the system that his mother''s soul was connected to. ''I hope there will be a family reunion in the Heavenly Realm.'' Even though one of the reasons why Ajax wants to ascend to the Heavenly Realm is to look at how the realm would be and how it works, the main reason he wants to ascend to the Heavenly Realm is for a family reunion. In the end, both the father and son duo have the same thoughts and ns for the future which is to ascend to the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible. ''Moreover, from what I have heard, the Heavenly Realm will be very dangerous and Father and I should ascend to the Heavenly Realm together to establish ourselves in the Heavenly Realm before Mother ascends to the Heavenly Realm.'' Since it''s been only 16 years since his parents were separated, Ajax believed that it would take a little more time for his mother to find a suitable host like him and after that, she had to form a body before starting her cultivation. Thinking all this, Ajax was not worried that his mother would ascend to the Heavenly Realm sooner than them. Of course, it was what he believed and at the same time, somewhere in his heart, he thought, ''What if the system to which Mother''s soul was connected was very powerful and helped her get a new body much sooner? Won''t she be ascending to the Heavenly Realm sooner?'' Anyway, Ajax removed those thoughts by muttering, ''If the system was really powerful to that extent, then I don''t have to worry about her safety.'' ''I need to find a Divine Grade Fruit as soon as possible and convert my cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Once again, Ajax felt anxious regarding his cultivation as he clenched his fists in determination. "Son, don''t worry. You are not alone anymore. Since the Celestial Dawn Realm will be opening soon, we can collect many cultivation resources to improve not only our cultivation but also our subordinates." Sensing the look on Ajax''s face, Aron motivated him, making Ajax reveal a bright smile on his face. ''That''s right! I am not alone anymore. I have a knowledgable father, a powerful wife and a Heaven-defying system.'' Thinking about all the cheats he has, Ajax''s worries about his future disappeared as he felt relieved. "Father, before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm, we will be entering the Floating Ind on which you will have seven years to consolidate your cultivation." Ajax briefly exined about the Floating Ind, making Aron nod his head. "Even before that, we have something else to do." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax silently muttered, "Mother-inw, it''s time to use your new ability." Chapter 1807 Pure Essence Blast Chapter 1807 Pure Essence st Ajax, as an Emperor of the Five Elemental World, could transmit his voice to the Standard World Tree which became a Guardian of the Five Elemental World. Afterpleting her evolution, the Standard World Tree has some good abilities which Ajax nned to use after his fatherpletes his body creation process. ''With the help of Mother-inw''s [Pure Essence st], father can consolidate his cultivation and I can also fill my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' This is the reason why Ajax didn''t ask his mother-inw to activate the ability back then and asked her to use it right now. ''Also, all the re-cultivated beasts and the forest elves in the world could undergo an overall change in their cultivation with this session of [Pure Essence st].'' Even though the effect of the [Pure Essence st] onlysts for one hour, it helps all the cultivators in the world ovee their bottlenecks and inner demons, Ajax felt that the Five Elemental World would undergo aplete transformation in that hour. Hence, he was excited and looking forward to it. "Everyone, for the next one hour fully focus on your cultivation and try to break through in your cultivation." After informing Siona to activate her ability, Ajax informed all his contracted spirit beasts through the voice transmission to let all their tribe make full use of the [Pure Essence st]. At the same time, he asked Father, Ren, and the 100 old cultivators to focus on their cultivation. ''Swoosh'' Before they could understand what Ajax was telling them, they felt a burst of pure essence of nature pass through their bodies¡­half of it passively entered their bodies whereas the remaining half left their bodies. If they were concentrating and cultivating, they could fully absorb the pure essence of nature that was passing through their bodies and hence, they didn''t waste time asking any questions to Ajax as they sat down and focused on cultivation. ''Father, don''t waste any time and consolidate your cultivation before trying to break through to the Emperor Realm.'' Even though Aron could consolidate his cultivation on the Floating Ind, Ajax hoped his father would be an Emperor Realm Cultivator before entering the Floating Ind. If that happened, his father would have enough time to convert his cultivator''s soul into a Divine Rule on the Floating Ind. Hence, he urged his father not to waste any time. "Yes¡­yes." Aron bitterly shook his head before sitting cross-legged to start his cultivation. Aron wanted to get used to his body for a few days; however, his son was already urging him to cultivate it. ''It looks like Father-inw was really strict with him in his early days of training.'' Aron med his father-inw, Boron; however, he knew that it was not bad as he muttered, ''Since I have a goal of ascending to Heavenly Realm now, I should not waste any time and fully focus on my cultivation.'' Remembering his goal of ascending to the Heavenly Realm, Aron got a boost in his motivation as he focused on his cultivation. ''I should all use this one hour to fill my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' After upgrading his Divine Spirit Consciousness to above one hundred thousand units, it became empty and even though it passively absorbed dozens of units of the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax still needed lots of units of the Divine Essence of Nature to fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Hence, he sat down with the rest of the cultivators and circted his Godly Cultivation Technique. ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated his cultivation technique, the pure essence of nature within a 100 kilometers radius sucked into his body at an incredible. Even though Ajax was absorbing lots of pure essence of nature, it didn''t affect the cultivation speed of the other cultivators, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief as he truly focused on his cultivation this time. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The cultivation effect from the Jade Bracelet is active and it gives the host a 10 times boost in his cultivation all the time. ''Ding, The cultivation effect from the [Pure Essence st] is active and it gives the host a 100-time boost in his cultivation until the ability is active. ''Ding, The effective cultivation speed of the host isbined and it is 1000 times greater than his original cultivation speed. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and been absorbed by 1 unit of Divine Essence of Nature x 1000 times. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness has absorbed 1000 units of the Divine Essence of nature. Once Ajax became serious about his cultivation, he received a series of system notifications, informing him about his cultivation speed. In just a single minute, Ajax received 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. In the current situation, where there was [Pure Essence st] active, absorbing 1000 units might seem less for others; however, it was not the regr Essence of Nature. Instead, it was the Divine Essence of Nature and one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature is equivalent to one billion or even higher units of the Essence of Nature. ''Swoosh'' Ajax didn''t stop in his cultivation as he wanted to fill at least half of his Divine Spirit Consciousness before the effect of the [Pure Essence st] came to an end. Judging from the speed he was absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature into his body, Ajax knew that he could fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness by a little more than half. ''Even if it was a single unit of Divine Essence of Nature, it would be helpful towards my body tempering.'' The only requirement that was stopping Ajax from bing a Divine Body Cultivator was tempering his body with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature. This means Ajax had to fully fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness 10 times and use all the Divine Essence of Nature towards his body tempering. ''Once Iplete that, my strength will undergo another transformation and I might even fight the Emperor Realm Cultivators who recently awakened their Divine Rules with my bare body.'' Thinking about this made Ajax excited as he continued to circte the God-level Cultivation Technique. Not only Ajax, but all the cultivators and the re-cultivated beasts in the entire Five Elemental World were trying their best to make full use of the current phenomenon. Those below the King Realm had easy breakthroughs for their minor realm and they believed that after a few minutes, they would easily break through to the King Realm. As for the King Realm cultivators, their speed of breakthrough was much slower than the Elite General Realm or Rank 6 beasts; however, the bottlenecks that stopped them in their cultivation for years had finally loosened up as they started showing signs of breakthrough. Many breakthroughs happened, happening and would happen for the next one hour in the Five Elemental World as the entire world was filled with a joyous and pleasant atmosphere. As for the old cultivators that came from the Secret World were the happiest ones because it was their first time experiencing such a pure Essence of Nature. Back then, even though they were in the Greater World, the essence of nature was notparable to the Five Elemental World''s regr essence of nature; however, right now, the entire Five Elemental World was undergoing a [Pure Essence st] phenomenon. So, of course, it was much better than the peak of the Greater World''s essence of nature that these old cultivators never experienced in their lifetime. Since their cultivation was already at its peak, the only thing these Old Cultivators could work on was their Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Souls. These souls have long reached the pinnacle and needed a heavy push from the Old Cultivators to turn them into Divine Rule. Right now, they finally got the heavy push that these Old Cultivators needed and they were not holding back themselves anymore. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As time continued to pass, one old cultivator after another started shining with a bright light. If Ajax were to see them, he could tell that they were sessfully transforming their Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Souls into Divine Rule. By awakening the Divine Rule, these Old Cultivators were making things easier for Ajax because he could give them the Giant Crystals belonging to the respected element of their DIvine Rules. Previously, he didn''t give them the Giant Crystals because he was worried about their bodies that were extremely malnourished¡­at least that''s what Ajax thought when he saw them for the first time. He feared that if he used the Giant Crystals on them, their bodies might not endure the pain and their life mighte to an end. Hence, he was preparing to turn all of them into Divine Body Cultivators before giving them the Giant Crystals. Thankfully, Ajax''s mother-inw awakened an ability that could help these old cultivators awaken their own Divine Rules. As for whether Ajax would still work on his n of turning these old cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators, Ajax might not change them because he had already made enough preparations for that n. Moreover, there would be only benefits if he couldplete the n and make those old cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators. Time continued to pass and since everyone was fully engrossed in their cultivation, everyone felt that one hour had passed by in a sh. "Haha¡­today is the happiest day in my life." "I have reached level 5 King Realm Beast." "Son, your father has be an Emperor Realm beast." . . . After sensing the disappearance of the Pure Essence of Nature, everyone opened their eyes and excitedly shouted out the benefits they got from the [Pure Essence st]. Chapter 1808 Celestial Essence Harmony Chapter 1808 Celestial Essence Harmony Everyone in the Five Elemental World was happy with the benefits they got from the [Pure Essence st]. They excitedly shared their cultivation process with their family and friends and the dreams that might be almost impossible in the future seemed very much possible to him as they started setting even more difficult goals in their lives. ''Even though I am unable to break through to the Emperor Realm, I have upgraded all my Cultivator''s Souls to the peak King Realm. All I needed was another good cultivation to merge my cultivator''s souls to turn them into Emperor Realm Soul because walking the path of Ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' Aron didn''t have any increase in his cultivation; however, he was able to consolidate the cultivation that he gained from the precious treasures with which he created his new body. Therefore, he was satisfied with his cultivation as he knew that he could break through to the Emperor Realm whenever he wanted as long as he spent some time on his cultivation. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 73000 / 110000. On the other hand, Ajax was also satisfied with his one-hour cultivation session as he checked out his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Let''s no longer increase the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness until I be a Divine Body Cultivator.'' Ajax had already decided to use the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness to temper his body toplete thest requirement of the Divine Body Cultivation. Even though bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator mainly depended on his luck, bing a Divine Body Cultivator waspletely in his hands. "Anyway, I can think about these things after entering the Floating Ind." Shaking those thoughts away, Ajax looked at the re-cultivated spirit beasts and the excited old cultivators in the distance and decided to check on them. ''It looks like Father will break through to the Emperor Realm after entering the Floating Ind. I wonder what level of Cultivation Technique awakened after creating his new body.'' Earlier, Ajax forgot to check the Cultivation Technique that his father awakened and decide d to check it along with the other things that he wanted to check using the system. ''Ding, Cultivator''s Name: Aron. Cultivation: Peak King Realm Cultivator. Cultivation Technique: Celestial Essence Harmony (Level 1) (Demi-God Level). ''It looks like undergoing the Celestial Transformation is really beneficial to the cultivators.'' Looking at the Cultivation Technique that Aron had gained after cheating on his new body, Ajax was pleasantly surprised. Actually, he had already guessed that his father would have a powerful cultivation technique as long as hepleted the Celestial Transformation. But, still, Ajax was pleasantly surprised. Normally, when a cultivator''s soul orb creates a new body, they would mostly use the low-level items that could help them create a new body because their soul orbs would eventually disappear into the void if they failed to create a new body within a specific time limit. In the case of Aron, he was not worried about the time because his soul was connected to a powerful treasure-like System but still, thanks to his son''s help, not only did he get some high-level and rare materials to create his body but he also got an Ethereal Lotus Seed which was almost impossible to find. Without that Ethereal Lotus Seed, Aron had to start his cultivation from the very beginning and he had to learn a main cultivation technique along with some support-type cultivation techniques. However, with the help of the Ethereal Lotus Seed, he was able to skip the tedious path of cultivation till the King Realm. ''Actually, I thought father should follow the cultivation path that was suggested by the system. So that he could be a lot stronger despite having a lower cultivation realm than his enemies.'' This was what Ajax had always believed because the system always suggested his breakthroughs to the next realm and every time he breakthroughs, the stronger he bespared to his peers. However, his father said that there was no need for that cultivation path as he wanted to explore something new with the new cultivation technique he awakened afterpleting the creation of his body. Ajax respected his father''s decision and didn''t say anything because he knew that his father had much more experience than him. Moreover, his father was the system''s previous host and he took that decision because he had already followed the system''s instructions in the past two lives. Even though he had made it big his first time, Aron felt that he should try a new cultivation path. ''With his cultivation, I can''t turn his cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and even if I was able to do it, I don''t know when I could find a Divine Grade Fruit.'' Thinking of this, Ajax didn''t worry much about it as he looked at the 100 old cultivators from the Secret World. ''System, how many of these old cultivators awakened the Divine Rules?'' Ajax felt that it would take a lot of time to check the information on these 100 old cultivators. Hence, he asked the system to scan them all and give him the information about it. ''Ding, Among the 100 old cultivators, 49 cultivators have sessfully awakened the Divine Rules and all of them have awakened the Divine Fire Rule. ''49 cultivators awakened the Divine Rules?'' Ajax was shocked for a moment when he saw such a huge number. Even though it was less than half, it was still a huge number for Ajax because he had not expected that the old cultivators could awaken the Divine Rules. ''It looks like these Old Cultivators must have had good cultivation talent back when they were in their youth.'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to after learning that 49 of them were able to awaken the Divine Rules. The only reason why their cultivation didn''t progress much even after thousands of years was because of theck of cultivation resources in the world they lived in and huge credit goes to Aron regarding that issue. However, no oneined about it because Aron was trying his best at that particr point in time. As for why they awakened the same type of Divine Rule, which was the Divine me Rule, Ajax was not shocked or surprised because all these 100-year-old cultivators used the same cultivation technique and they had an affinity with only one element which was Fire Element. So, even the remaining 51 old cultivators would be awakening the Divine me Rules in theing days. "Everyone, congrattions on your breakthroughs and progress in your cultivation." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax congratted everyone. "Thank you, Emperor Ajax. It was all thanks to His Majesty and the Guardian and the mother of the world, Mother Siona." The leaders of the Five Elemental Worlds were not close to Ajax; however, they were able to hear Ajax''s words loud and clear. In response, they transmitted their voice to Ajax using the contracts they formed with Ajax. "Thank you, Master Ajax." "Thank you, Sir Ajax." The old cultivators, the low-level tribe members from different tribes that were close to Ajax bowed to him and thanked Ajax from the bottom of their hearts. "It is the duty of the Emperor of the world to provide enough cultivation resources for his subjects and I am just doing my duty." Ajax, with a slight smile on his face, replied to everyone as he continued, "If you are thankful to me, try to increase your cultivation and the grade of your profession without wasting any time. In the future, you will be helping the Five Elemental World be a powerful world in the entire universe." Even though Ajax was not good at giving speeches, his words still made many of his subjects excited as they nodded their heads. "Now, go and take some rest and spend some time with your families to celebrate your cultivation progress." Soon, Ajax sent everyone around him to their homes except for 100 old cultivators, his father, Mostror, Zanath and Ren. "Father, shall we help your loyal followers with their Divine Rules?" After sending everyone, Ajax informed them about the progress made by the 100 old cultivators, making him greatly excited. "Let''s do it." Aron knew that his son had millions of Giant Fire Crystals with which a cultivator could easily increase the awakening percentage of the Divine me Rules. Hence, Aron agreed with Ajax''s words without wasting any time. "The cultivators who awakened their Divine me Rules, pleasee forward." Walking forward, Ajax asked the cultivators to step forward and in the next second, 49 old cultivators took a few steps towards Ajax and stopped. "These things are called Giant Fire Crystals that can help you increase the awakening percentage of your Divine me." While exining the usage of the Giant Fire Crystal, Ajax gave each of these 49 old cultivators a Giant Fire Crystal under their excited looks. "Just like how you use the Spirit Stones for your cultivation, you use these Giaint Fire Crystals like that and the pure Fire Energy in those crystals would automatically enter into your bodies to increase the awakening percentage of your Divine me Rules." "There might be some pain while using them; however, you can endure it in exchange for the power you are getting." Ajax gave a few more instructions regarding the Giant me Crystals while distributing them. "Start cultivating and let me see how your progress will be." Even though Ajax''s time for the Floating Ind wasing closer, Ajax wanted to make sure that the old cultivators had no problem absorbing the Giant Fire Crystals. ''Aargh'' However, in the next second, all 49 old cultivators groaned in pain as they coughed out blood. Chapter 1809 Violent Reaction Chapter 1809 Violent Reaction ''What''s happening?'' Looking at the 49 old cultivators who were violently coughing blood, Ajax became anxious as he shouted, "Stop cultivating." At the same time, Ajax took out some healing pills that were effective even on the Emperor Realm Cultivators and gave them to the old cultivators. The old cultivators didn''t want to stop cultivating because of the benefits that Ajax informed them by absorbing the Giant Fire Crystals; however, the violent pain and coughing of blood made them stop what they were doing. Soon, they swallowed the pills that Ajax gave them and started stabilizing their wounds while checking what went wrong in their bodies. ''System, why is there such a violent reaction? Don''t tell me it was rted to their bodies?'' On the other hand, Ajax asked the system about the reason behind the Old Cultivators'' reaction while guessing his assumptions. The reason why Ajax felt it was rted to their bodies was because their bodies were very weak due to theck of cultivation resources along with the essence of nature in the Secret World. However, Ajax was not fully convinced by his assumption because the old cultivators had awakened the Divine Rules which means their bodies had be strong and that''s the reason why Ajax gave them the Giant Fire Crystals. ''Ding, For a cultivator, increasing the awakening percentage of a Divine Rule would naturally increase the strength and upgrade their physical bodies. So, during the process, it was inevitable for the cultivators to experience the pain. ''Ding, The stronger their bodies, the stronger their endurance levels will be and the faster they can increase their awakening percentage. ''Ding, Even though the Old Cultivators have awakened the Divine Rule, their bodies were still not strong enough to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. ''Ding, In fact, their bodies were so weak that even the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators who were yet to awaken the Divine Rule could defeat them with ease. Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Ajax''s head exining the reason behind the old cultivator''s violent reaction. ''Huh? Increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules a painful process?'' After reading those system notifications, Ajax frowned as he wondered, ''Then, what about me? I have never felt any pain while increasing the Awakening Percentage of the Divine Rules.'' ''Also, earlier, when the awakening percentage of Siora''s Divine Rules increased to 50 percent, she waspletely fine without showing any ufortable expressions on her face.'' The replies from the system didn''tpletely rify Ajax''s questions; instead, the number of questions in Ajax''s head doubled. ''Ding, The host has a Divine Spirit Consciousness in his body and he has undergone body tempering with Sentient mes. ''Ding, The body tempering with more Sentient mes means the stronger the host''s physical body has be and so are his endurance levels. ''Ding, Also, since the awakening percentage of the host''s Divine Rules was capped at 20 percent at his current cultivation, he won''t feel any pain and that''s the reason why the duration of his Divine Rules was much higher than the duration of the Divine Rules of other cultivators and beasts. ''So, it is another one of the hidden effects of the Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax had already thought that it was the reason because it was one of the main things that the other cultivators in this universe didn''t have but Ajax had in his body. Also, when he thought about how he was tempering his body with one Sentient me after another and felt how his body became stronger little by little, Ajax epted why he was not feeling any pain when using the Giant Crystals to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. ''Ding, In Siora''s case, the awakening percentage of her Divine Rules was increased due to Enlightenment and it was called Enlightenment for a reason she didn''t feel any pain despite not having a strong physical body. While Ajax was understanding one thing after another, he received another system notification, making him nod his head. ''Getting Enlightenment is very difficult and only a few lucky and selected cultivators and spirit beasts can achieve that.'' Ajax knew the value of bing Enlightened and how difficult it would be. Even though he gained enlightenment and even Siora recently got one, it happened because of the external resources. Previously, Ajax used the Profession Upgrade Crystal to gain enlightenment into the Emperor Grade Alchemy whereas, in Siora''s case, he ate the Special World Fruit which helped her get enlightenment. ''Anyway, let''se to the main issue now.'' Once Ajax''s doubts regarding the pain from using the Giant Crystals were cleared, he stopped thinking about it and decided to focus on the current issue. ''Since their bodies were still too weak to use the Giant Crystals, I think I shouldplete my n for them before giving them the Giant Fire Crystals.'' Ajax didn''t think much as he directly came to this conclusion as he continued, ''Once Iplete that n, the remaining 51 old cultivators could also awaken their Divine Rules and everyone can use the Giant Fire Crystals then.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax took all the Giant Fire Crystals back from the Old Cultivators. Even though 49 Giant Fire Crystals were not a big deal for Ajax, he didn''t want the old cultivators to secretly use them when he left the Five Elemental World. As a cultivator, no one could resist the temptation of bing stronger and he would not hesitate to risk such opportunities. Since Ajax had a safe n in which the old cultivators could use the Giant Crystals without any side effects or pain, he didn''t want them to do such risky things. Therefore, he took back the Giant Fire Crystals from them before saying a few things to motivate them. "Father, it''s time to enter the Floating Ind¡­shall we go?" Once he settled the issue with the old cultivators, Ajax turned his head as he asked his father, who nodded his head excitedly. "Let''s go." Soon, Ajax went to Siora and sent her and his father along with Raweth and Sparrow into the Inner World before teleporting to the Metal Emperor''s World. **** Chapter 1810 Entering the Floating Island Again Chapter 1810 Entering the Floating Ind Again Since there was a time boost in the Floating Ind, Ajax wanted to make full use of it along with his Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts. Also, Siora and his Father know about the existence of the Inner World. So, Ajax didn''t mind bringing them to the Floating Ind. With the pass he received from the Emperors of the Greater Human Element Worlds, Ajax could only bring more people using his Inner World and even though he had so many followers, he didn''t want to reveal about his Inner World to everyone. So, he only brought Siora and his Father with him and as for Raweth and others, they were considered his Contracted Spirit Beasts and already knew about the existence of the Inner World. ''Swoosh'' Using the Teleportation Token belonging to the Greater Metal World, Ajax entered the Greater Metal World with a sh and soon, he was picked by the Metal Emperor. "You finally came, Harbinger of the Destruction." Ajax didn''t reveal his identity to anyone except for the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor Draven, and his wife along with their son. As for the others, he didn''t want to reveal it yet; however, Ajax knew that it wouldn''t be long before he revealed his face and shocked the entire universe with his strength. For now, Ajax was covered with a special mask that could stop others from using their Spirit Consciousness to see his face. Of course, even if he uses a normal face mask, the cultivators with whom Ajax had formed contracts and deals won''t dare to do such a thing. As for the reason why they won''t do such a thing is because no one wants Ajax to break their contracts using that as an excuse and if that happens, it would be them who lose the most. As the Emperor Realm Cultivators who awakened the Divine Rules, they needed the World Cores to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. Even though they could get the Giant Crystals from time to time, they had already developed resistance to it and the increment in the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules was minimal. As for the World Cores, their avability is low in the universe and these Five Emperors were not very powerful and can''tpete with the top sects when ites to these items. Therefore, Ajax was their hope in getting the World Cores and they were expecting Ajax to take out more cultivation resources in the future. Thus, they didn''t want to do anything that could ruin their rtionship with Ajax. "I hope I came on time, right?" Ajax asked the Metal Human Emperor who was already guiding Ajax to the teleportation circle that could teleport them to the Floating Ind. At the same time, Ajax gave a smaller world core to the Metal Human Emperor which was thepensation that he was supposed to give to him. "Yes¡­you are on time." The Metal Human Emperor excitedly took the smaller world core and without wasting any time, he activated the teleportation circle to the Floating Ind. "See you after seven days, Metal Human Emperor." Metal Human Emperor was the trader''s name that the Cultivator picked and since Ajax didn''t disclose his identity, the Metal Human Emperor also didn''t share many details and even took enough precautions to stop Ajax from checking out his Greater World. ''Swoosh'' Ajax waved his hand and disappeared from the Greater Metal World and appeared in Floating Ind. ''Huh? This ce lookspletely different from thest time I entered the Floating Ind.'' Looking at the surroundings, Ajax didn''t get any familiarity with the Floating Ind. To Ajax, it felt like he hade to apletely different cepared to his previous visit to the Floating Ind. ''Wait a second¡­these are all metal rocks?'' Ajax didn''t summon anyone from the Inner World because he wanted to check out his surroundings. Unlike his first visit to the Floating Ind, Ajax was very strong to the point that he didn''t require any external support. Soon, Ajax found shining rocks and could tell that those rocks were made up of metals and suddenly he thought of something. ''Previously, I entered the Floating Ind from the Greater Fire World and the Fire Essence of Nature was much denser and this time, there is Metal Essence.'' Even though there were other four elemental essences around him, the density of the Metal Essence was much higher than the other four elemental essences. So, after some observations and thoughts, Ajax concluded, ''It looks like I am in apletely different part of the Floating Ind.'' Once he came to that conclusion, Ajax decided to treat this part of the region as a Metal Region and the region he visited previously as a Fire Region. ''If it is like this¡­getting my revenge will take longer than I imagined.'' Even though Ajax entered the Floating Ind to increase his strength along with his father, wife, contracted spirit beasts, and elemental spirits, the main goal was to take revenge on the Golden Winged Middle-aged man named Aveline. Ajax didn''t know exactly how far the Fire Region was from his current location he even doubted for a moment whether it was possible to enter the Fire Region. ''Since most of the beasts in the Floating Ind are primitive and don''t have much intelligence, I only have one thing to do and that is take down the ruler of this Metal Region.'' Among the things that Ajax learned about the Floating Ind in his previous visitation was that there were different rules in the Floating Ind and each one of them was very powerful to the point that Ajax was scared to show himself back to them. However, things have changed now within a short span of three weeks where Ajax was fully confident in taking down the rulers. ''I have seen only two rulers and didn''t know exactly how many rulers were present in this Floating Ind. However, all these questions can be answered once I take down a ruler.'' With an evil smile on his face, Ajax devised a n to make the rulere and find him. Chapter 1811 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (1) Chapter 1811 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (1) Ajax summoned everyone from his inner world as he ordered, "Let''s wreak havoc until some powerful beingse out of their caves." He didn''t know exactly how many Rulers were there in the Metal Region of the Floating Ind; however, Ajax knew about one thing and it was as long as he wreaked havoc, the person in charge of the region woulde out of his caves. ''With Siora around, I don''t have to worry about a situation like Snow''s.'' Ajax felt a lot more assured to have Siora with him and it was not because he was powerful; instead, it was because of her Divine Life Rule. With her Divine Life Rule which had a 50 percent of awakening percentage, Siora could basically revive almost anyone within one hour of their death. Of course, there were some random side effects like the revived being could not cultivate for a while or their cultivation might regress a little. The side effects werepletely random and they changed from one person to another. However, Ajax was assured with Siora because for him, as long as his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirit were alive, he could help them be powerful. ''Moreover, all-powerful elemental spirits were connected to the [Tree of Blessing] where they could be returning to the [Tree of Blessing]''s [Spirit Sanctuary].'' ''As for the contracted spirit beasts, I have connected the top 10 contracted spirit beasts with the [Soul Nourishing Tree]''s [Soul Nest] where their souls would return to the [Soul Nest].'' ''Also, when I know the death of someone is imminent, I can just activate my Divine Death Rule and stay close to them to control their life and death.'' Unlike his first visitation to the Floating Ind, not only did Ajax be more powerful but he had many life-saving tricks and trump cards which made him less worried about the same thing that happened to Snow. "All Contracted Spirit Beasts will be divided into four groups that will be led by Twilight, Alder, Raweth and Sparrow." "As for the Elemental Spirits, they will be divided into two teams that would be led by Volcanis and Necros." Even though Ajax summoned everyone from the Inner World, he didn''t forget to give the order to form the teams. ''Although they were powerful, the Rulers of the Floating Ind are much more powerful. So, it is better for them to form teams to help each other.'' Ajax watched the leaders he picked who got busy forming their teams as he silently kept an eye on his surroundings. Ajax only gave the simple order to Raweth and others because he wanted them to make good judgments and if Ajax believed that the teams they formed were not bnced, then Ajax didn''t mind changing them. So, he was patiently waiting for them toplete their teams because all he had in the Floating Ind was time. Time continued to pass as six teams were formed. Team 1: Twilight, the Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon as the leader selected Little White, the Winged Lion King who sessfully broke through to Emperor Realm after the recent [Pure Essence st] in the Five Elemental World. Along with them, they also added the Twin-tailed Lightning Lynx that Ajax formed contracted in his earliest visits to the Five Elemental World. Team 2: Alder, the Leader of the Devourer Eagle Emperors along with his 10 Devourer Eagles were formed as a team. It was the easiest team to form for Alder because he didn''t have to think much and his synergy with the other Devourer Eagles would be at a high level. Since all the Devourer Eagles broke through to the Emperor Realm, they were no longer called Kings; instead, they were called Emperors and since Alder was their leader who nurtured them in their starting stages, they were absolutely loyal to Alder. Of course, they were loyal to Ajax too. Team 3: Raweth, the Three-legged Fire Crow had sessfully broken through to the mid-level Emperor Realm earlier as he picked the Father and Son Golden Bear Duo, Dan and Zan. Zan, the Little Golden Bear has sessfully broken through the King Realm and became an Emperor Realm re-cultivated beast whereas his father, Dan, the Golden Bear King reached the peak King Realm and needed some external push to be an Emperor Realm re-cultivated beast. Team 4: Sparrow, the Nether Ice Sparrow also reached the mid-level Emperor Realm and she chose the beast couple, The ck and Red Inferno Beasts along with the ck Yeti with Ajax formed a contract with at the same time as the Lightning Lynx. However, these four beasts were still unable to ovee their primitive mind. So, they were not able to re-cultivate; however, they were able to understand Ajax''s words and follow him. It was not hard for them as long as they received simple orders like Fight, Defeat, Retreat, and Kill. In short, they were just like pets who could understand the basicmands and help Ajax with simple things. There were the four teams that were formed by the contracted spirit beasts with which Ajax was satisfied and hence, he didn''t say anything to them; instead, he ordered them to start the Mission: Wrecking Havoc Mission. Among the Contracted Spirit Beasts, there was still one that was intentionally left out and it was none other than the Four-eyed Ghost Fox who decided to stay with Ajax. Of course, he left 10 clones per team to maintain contact with Ajax to share quick updates on how the teams were doing. ''Even though I can ask the team members, I will just use the clone of the Ghost Fox to track these teams and let all the team members focus on their mission.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head because he could contact all his contracted spirit beasts with the contract he formed unless they were trapped in other worlds or some special regions. "Yes, Master." All four teams nodded their heads and dispersed in four different directions with excited looks on their faces. Chapter 1812 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (2) Chapter1812 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (2) Even though Ajax had a few more contracted spirit beasts like the three Demonic Beasts, they were still not powerful enough to start the exploration. Moreover, they didn''t have much battle experience and right now, when Ajax didn''t know exactly how many Rulers were present in the Metal Region and the Entire Region, he didn''t send them out of his Inner World. Moreover, Ajax had other ns for them and they would be started once he settled in the Floating Ind after taking his revenge on Aveline, the Golden-Winged Middle-aged man. Also, other than the revenge, there were many things that Ajax had nned to do on the Floating Ind. They are: 1) Completing his body tempering with one million units of Essence of Nature. Once hepleted that, he could be the Divine Body Cultivator and receive additional benefits that were exclusive to the Divine Body Cultivators. 2) Increasing the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness to as high as possible with one million units as the limit that Ajax had set for himself. Since he was nning to turn a lot of his followers into Divine Body Cultivators, Ajax needed to have one million units of capacity for his Divine Spirit Consciousness. 3) Also, entering the Elemental Spirit World through the Floating Ind three times to form a contract with as many elemental spirits as possible. Two slots for his King Realm and Emperor Realm cultivation whereas the third one was the reward that he received from the system in the past. These were the main things that Ajax wanted to definitelyplete by the time he left Floating Ind. Also, he has other goals like taking control over the Floating Ind, helping his father awaken a Divine Rule and at the same time, searching the entire Floating Ind to see whether there were any Divine Grade Fruits. Obviously, Ajax knew that the first and thest goals were almost impossible toplete but he felt there was no harm in trying once hepleted his main goals. Ajax had already thought about all these things while the teams formed by his Contracted Spirit Beasts. ''Among the four teams, Sparrow''s team might look weak; however,pared to Raweth, Sparrow is a lot more powerful which makes her entire team make up for the weak teammates.'' Looking at the four teams of contracted spirit beasts, Ajax silently thought in his head as he gave a ranking for teams depending on the entire teammates in a team. The strongest team among the four Contracted Spirit Beast Teams would be Alder''s Team. Alder was only one step away from bing a High-level Emperor Realm whereas the other Devourer Eagle Emperors have consolidated their cultivation at Mid-level Emperor Realm thanks to the [Pure Essence st]. However, even with such cultivation, Alder was unable to be his strongest contracted spirit beast because Raweth and Sparrow had awakened the Divine Rules and what''s more, their awakening percentage of those Divine Rules had already reached 20 percent. Moreover, since their cultivation has broken through to the mid-level Emperor Realm, they could use the Giant Fire Crystals and Giant Dark Crystals to further increase their Divine Rules. However, Ajax learned that the process would be painful as the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules increases. He knew that Raweth and Sparrow''s bodies were strong; however, if they nned to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules further, they had to endure the pain. ''For now, I will let Raweth and Sparrow fully consolidate their cultivation in the mid-level Emperor Realm before giving them more Giant Crystals.'' Ajax knew that if he gave them the Giant Crystals now, they could easily increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules by at least 5 percent despite feeling the pain. However, Ajax didn''t want them to go through all that pain when there were easy ways for his contracted spirit beasts to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. ''Since getting the Divine Spirit Consciousness is hard, I will just help everyone be the Divine Body Cultivators like me and have them increase their endurance levels.'' This might sound easy when Ajax thought in his head; however, for others, it was almost impossible to achieve because converting a regr body cultivator required three requirements which were difficult for the regr cultivators. Even though getting 5 million supreme-grade spirit stones was a little pricey, for the top sects and powerful cultivators, it was a simple thing. As for the second requirement of undergoing the body tempering with three Sentient mes might be difficult for the powerful cultivators; however, it was an easy task for the top sects. Of course, the powerful cultivators could also get ess to three Sentient mes with a little bit of hardwork. However, the requirement for the Divine Body Cultivator was impossible for anyone because they needed a million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Except for me, I am sure that no one in the entire universe has the Divine Essence of Nature, including my father.'' Even though the universe was vast and so far Ajax had covered very little bit of the universe, Ajax was sure about it because the System was a Heaven-Defying treasure. Having a single such treasure would make the entire universe turn upside down; however, there were two which might possibly be in some other universe¡­at least that''s what Ajax believed after hearing his father''s exnation. Hence, Ajax was not expecting to meet anyone with the Divine Essence of Nature in their body in the universe. ''I hope there will be a few more cultivators in the universe. So, we could learn more about the Divine Essence of Nature.'' So far, Ajax''s idea of the benefits provided by the Divine Essence of Nature was very and he was interested in learning more about it. Hence, having a few more cultivators who could store the Divine Essence of Nature in their bodies would be a lot more helpful to Ajax¡­only if the other cultivators were willing to share their thoughts. ''Anyway, the elemental spirits have already finished their teams. Let''s see.'' Chapter 1813 [Bonus Chapter] Mission: Wrecking Havoc (3) Chapter 1813 [Bonus Chapter] Mission: Wrecking Havoc (3) ''Anyway, the elemental spirits have already finished their teams. Let''s see.'' After putting an end to his thoughts, Ajax looked at the two teams formed by the Elemental Spirits. Even though it was not a good thing,pared to the Contracted Spirit Beasts, Elemental Spirits were a lot weaker and Ajax agrees and believes that. Unlike the Contracted Spirit Beasts, the Elemental Spirit won''t have Divine Rules and even though the Elemental Spirits might have multiple skills, in front of the Divine Rules, they would be useless. Of course, there were some skills like Halo''s [Time Halt], and Prophis''s [Dimensional de] which could kill the Emperor Realm Cultivators; however, the problem with the Time Elemental Spirit and the Space Elemental Spirit was they were yet to breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. So, their skills might be effective on the regr Emperor Realm Cultivators for now; however, if they want to take down the Emperor Realm Cultivators with Divine Rules, they need to be in Emperor Ream and should have awakened their Elemental Ascendance. ''Anyway, there is still time for them to slowly be powerful. And as long as I find more rare elemental spirits like Halo, Prophis, Cerauno, and Blood, they can help each other to kill even the pinnacle powerhouse of the universe.'' The reason why Ajax wanted to contract as many elemental spirits as possible was because of this. Even though it would be impossible for a single Elemental Spirit to kill his enemies alone, they could do it as long as they help each other. For example, if Halo, Prophis, Cerauno and Blood reached the high-level Emperor Realm with their Elemental Ascendance awakened, they could use their unique skills to kill anyone. Halo can use his [Time Halt] to stop the time and since he had the less damaging attack skills, Ceruano and Blood could use their mass destruction skills. As for Prophis, he could assist Halo by using the [Spatial Chains] to restrain his enemies while using the [Spatial de] to cut the bodies with ease. So, by forming such teams with the Elemental Spirits, it would make up for theirck of advantage over their enemies. ''System, disy the information on two teams.'' Since there were so many elemental spirits, Ajax asked the system to show him the details on the system window because it would make things easy for Ajax to check whether the teams were bnced or not. ''Ding, Team 1. Leader: Volcanis (Attacker). Damage Dealers: Ignis (Fire), Tempos (Wind), Blood (Blood). Supporters: Spirus (Life), Halo (Time), it, Lumin (Light). Damager Dealer and Supporters: ris (Water), Septon (Metal), Neig (Ice). ''Ding, Team 2. Leader: Necros (Death/Dark)(Supporter). Damage Dealers: Cerauno (Lightning), Nite (Dark/Beast), Bane (Poison), Zen (Dark/Assasin). Supporters: Prophis (Space), Floris (Flower/Nature), Haze (Mist), Dabrus (Dark/ Magic). Damager Dealer and Supporters: Quarris (Earth), Novis (Water). Soon, the information about the two elemental spirits'' teams appeared in front of Ajax in a proper order. The Leader of the team devised ns and strategies for the mission, and the Damage Dealers would go on a frenzy to destroy everything in their way under the continuous support from the supporters. As for the Damage Dealers and the Supporters, they could change their roles depending on the situation. "As expected of Volcanis and Necros, they were good and formed the perfectly bnced teams." Ajax chose Volcanis and Necros for a reason because they have stayed with them for the longest timepared to other elemental spirits. Moreover, they have participated in many battles with him and gained leadership qualities¡­of course, Volcanis was born with leadership qualities. "Volcanis, Necros, be careful on your mission. Even though half of your teammates were connected to the [Tree of Blessing], I don''t want anything to happen to them. Do you understand?" After checking out the two teams, Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction as he gave some warnings and suggestions. "Yes, Summoning Master. I will take care of everyone." Both Volcanis and Necros nodded their heads before going in different directions from the directions that the four Contracted Spirit Beasts'' teams went in. "With their abilities to lead, I am not worried much." Ajax said to Siora and his father who were standing beside him. Even though Cerauno was also good with leading others, Necros beats Cerauno by a little bit. Moreover, Necros doesn''t have to actively participate in the battles as he has undead summons along with the Soul Summoning from his Soul Grimoire that could protect them while leading others. As for Cerauno, he could stop worrying about thinking and go all out with his powerful attacking skills. Some might think, why would Volcanis who could deal critical damage to the enemies be allowed to lead others and why not Cerauno? It was because Volcanis could keep with critical thinking while having closebat with his enemies and as far as Ajax noticed, Volcanis does well under such pressures as Ajax was hoping that Volcanis awaken a new attacking skill or something simr to increase his battle prowess. Along with them, Ajax sends a clone created by the Four-eyed Ghost Fox. "Ghost, order them to stay within a 100-kilometer radius from us and clear all the beasts and humanoid creatures living within the radius." Ajax used the Ghost Fox tomunicate with the leaders of the six teams formed by his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. For Ajax, thanks to his [Celestial Void Step], he could cover 100 kilometers in less than two minutes. Hence, Ajax set the limit of a 100-kilometer radius for his Mission: Wrecking Havoc, so that he could go to their rescue before something could happen to them. Also, thanks to the clones created by the Ghost Fox, Ajax could easily find the location of each individual teammate of the six teams created by his summons. ''Since the Mission: Wrecking Havoc has started, it''s time to focus on the cultivation until the Rulers of this regione out of their cave.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at his father and Siora to start his next step. Chapter 1814 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (4) Chapter 1814 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (4) "Father, why don''t you find a good ce and start focusing on your cultivation? I will also do the same." Taking a deep breath, Ajax suggested to their father that they don''t have to waste any more time; instead, they should cultivate. Just like how Ajax had his own goals, Aron also had his own goals toplete in the Floating Ind. Since Aron was only one step away from breaking through to the Emperor Realm, Aron knew he should not waste any time. "I will go and cultivate." Nodding his head, Aron didn''t waste any time as he found a ce nearby and sat down to cultivate. "Siora¡­" Next, Ajax turned to Siora and was about to say something; however, he was interrupted by Siora. "Ajax, I will keep an eye on the surroundings while you cultivate." Siora suggested that she would guard the ce while both the Father and Son cultivated. Even though Ajax was a powerful Emperor Realm Cultivator when cultivating, his senses won''t be as sharp as his average self. As for Aron, he was yet to break through to the Emperor Realm. his average self. As for Aron, he was yet to break through to the Emperor Realm. In the Floating Ind, where Emperor Realm Beings were asmon as the King Realm cultivators in the Greater World. So, if someone sneaked an attack on them, it would be almost impossible to dodge and even if dodged, they would be seriously injured. As for Siora''s case, her cultivation was already so high that she came to the Floating Ind just to apany Ajax. Even though she is still so far from reaching the pinnacle of her cultivation, her Divine Rules have already reached 50 percent of awakening and even to increase a single percent of awakening, she had to cultivate for years. "Hm¡­Okay." Ajax rubbed the back of his hand as he nodded his head because the benefits that Siora could get from the Floating Ind were not much. So, until the rulers of the Metal Region came out, Ajax felt it was better for Siora to guard him and his father. "Once we learn more about the Metal Region from the ruler, let''s consume the Profession Awakening Crystal to awaken a new profession." Earlier, when Siroa crushed the World Fruits, they received the Rule Increment Crystals and Profession Awakening Crystals. Ajax informed Siora that they would consume those crystals once they settled some issues in the Metal Region. "It''s alright! I can wait." For Siora or even for Ajax, was not in a hurry to awaken a new profession because, with a new profession, their battle prowess wouldn''t be increasing. Right now, Ajax is more focused on quicklypleting his goals and finding some time to awaken a new profession. Even if they awakened a profession, it would be at a normal grade where they could not take much benefit from that profession. Nevertheless, Ajax thought it would be good to inform Siora so that she could also n her thoughts ordingly. After that, Ajax sat down and started circting the God-level Cultivation Technique [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens]. ''Ding, The host circted for one minute and absorbed 10 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, the Essence of Nature around 100 kilometers from Ajax rushed into Ajax''s body as he received the system notification. Actually, with the help of the God-level Cultivation Technique, Ajax could only get one unit of Divine Essence of Nature per minute; however, thanks to the passive effect of the [Jade Bracelet], Ajax could absorb 10 times more units of Essence of Nature. ''At this speed, I just need to cultivate for a little more than two days to fill my entire Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Currently, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness has more than 70000 units of Divine Essence of Nature and needs less than 40000 units of Divine Essence of Nature to fill it. So, Ajax hoped that he could peacefully cultivate for the next two days without any interruption. On the side, Aron also started cultivating and even though Ajax was pulling lots of essence of nature into his body thanks to the God-level Cultivation Technique, Aron was also able to make use of that. He was, in short, stealing a small percentage of the Essence of Nature that was being pulled by Ajax with his Demi-God-level Cultivation Technique. ''Thanks to my newly awakened cultivation technique, I can have an enhanced boost in my cultivation speed while sitting beside my son.'' Aron chuckled a little when he sensed that his cultivation speed was much faster than what he expected. Of course, the cultivation speed could not bepared to the speed he received from the [Pure Essence st] but still, Aron knew that it was a one-time opportunity thates once every 1000 years. Anyway, he focused on his current cultivation as he wanted to break through to the Emperor Realm and converted his King Realm Cultivator''s Souls into Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Souls. While Ajax and Aron were fully focused on their cultivation, Siora, who was standing guard, was looking at Ajax with many thoughts in her head. She never expected that her life wouldpletely change after meeting Ajax and at the same time, she remembered the first time she met Ajax and their moments after that. Thinking of those moments, she smiled and wanted to take their rtionship to the next level. ''For now, he is busy with his goals. After weplete the Floating Ind trip, we will be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. Aftering out of the Celestial Dawn Realm, I think it would be the best time to progress our rtionship to the next level.'' Even though Siora was the Queen of the Forest Elves and had a strong cult following when she met Ajax, somewhere in her heart, she was a little afraid about her sudden engagement with Ajax. However, as time progressed and understood more about Ajax and how much he cared about her, the little fear in her disappeared as she was ready for the next step in her rtionship which was marriage. Chapter 1815 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (5) Chapter 1815 Mission: Wrecking Havoc (5) While Ajax was busy filling his Divine Spirit Consciousness and Siora was taking care of his protection while thinking of her future with Ajax, the six teams formed by Ajax''s summons were busy on the Mission: Wrecking Havoc. Even though it was an ind, the Floating Ind was so huge that Ajax estimated that each region might have more or less the same area as a Greater World. In a ce that was as big as a Greater World along with the pure essence of nature and the time boost, almost all the living beings in the Floating Ind easily reach Emperor Realm even before they remove their primitive instinct of killing others belonging to a different species. Even if it was the same species, they would fight over many things like for their partners or over territories. So, in no time, Ajax''s exploration teams found the wild beasts and the wild beings. "How dare you enter our territory?" The moment those wild beings saw these exploration teams, their primitive instincts were triggered because these beasts and beings had a strong territorial feeling and didn''t like other races or species entering their marked territory. Hence, they mindlessly rushed towards Ajax''s summons with the intent to kill them without showing any mercy. [Fire Bombs] Even though there were more than 10 Emperor Realm Hog-like beasts rushing towards them, Raweth and his team were calm as Raweth summoned 10 fist-sized Fire Bombs before releasing them at the iing wild beasts. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' The ten Fie Bombs were perfectly aimed at the iing wild beasts and each bomb killed one beast. "Father, Brother Raweth has be very powerful." Looking at how easily Raweth killed 10 Emperor Realm Beasts, Zan, the little bear eximed to his father. "Don''t worry, son. In the future, you will be stronger than Brother Raweth." Dan, the Father Bear nodded his head as he encouraged his son with his father. "I will definitely achieve that." Zan''s eyes shone with determination as he excitedly nodded his head before saying, "Little Zan, you are capable of it." Even though Raweth was a little away from them, how could he not hear their conversation? He also encouraged Little Zan because he was fond of him and Little White and was hoping to see their future achievements which would be much bigger than his achievements. At the same time, as the leader of the team, he ordered them, "I will take care of the wild beastsing from the front side and you will take care of left and right sides." Earlier, Raweth had only taken care of the 10 wild beasts in their current location and there were hundreds of simr beasts in that location which hurriedly rushed and surrounded Raweth and his team. "Let''s clear them all." Receiving their orders, the father and son duo nodded their heads and excitedly rushed towards the iing hog-like wild and mindless beasts. [Golden Skin] [Golden Bear Emperor''s Rage] [Golden Bear King''s Rage] [Bear ws] The father and son duo were perfectly killing machines which cleared the iing wild beasts without caring for the wounds that were inflicted on their bodies. ''For these wild beasts, I don''t even need to use my strongest attacks, not to mention using the Divine Rules would only waste my energy.'' Looking at the low, mid and even high-level Emperor Realm Wild Beasts that were getting killed by his simple attacks, Raweth silently thought in his head and at the same time, he also kept his eyes on the Father and Son duo. Even though it was easy for him, it wouldn''t be the same time for the Father and Son duo were yet to awaken their Divine Rules. ''Little Zan is doing good; however, Senior Dan is struggling a little; however, it is a good thing for him as he could use that pressure to break through to the Emperor Realm.'' Raweth was having an easy time with his opponents. So, he was able to think and n while killing the wild beasts that wereing at him. ¡­. [Inferno st] [Fire Burst] [Rapid Fist] In another direction, Sparrow and her teams were also doing much better than Raweth''s team. Unlike Raweth, Sparrow didn''t ask his teammates to fight separately; instead, she asked them to fight together while she was standing at the back and giving them the order. Of course, even though she was standing without fighting, she was using her skills to weaken the opponents who wereing to kill them. [Nether Smoke] It was the most basic skill that Sparrow gained after she sessfully re-cultivated and thanks to the re-cultivated treasure which was also the Nether Smoke, her [Nether Smoke] has be so powerful that it could reduce the battle prowess of the regr emperor realm beasts and beings by 50 percent. That''s the reason how the Red and ck Inferno Beasts along with ck Yeti were able to kill the high-level Emperor Realm Beasts with a cultivation of high-level King Realm. As for Sparrow, she was trying to make her teammates stronger by killing their opponents and that''s why, she was not lifting a single finger except for using her basic attack. ¡­. [Twilight Cannon] [Dark Destruction st] [Twilight Spikes] In another location, Little Twilight has transformed into his regr dragon form and of course, he suppressed the Divine Aura because there was no need for that in his current situation. Unlike the other teams that were mainly focused on killing the wild beasts and wild beings, Twilight was destroying everything that came his way. Whether it was a tree or a construction building by the humanoid beings or even a mountain waspletely destroyed by Twilight. In short, Twilight was the only one who was strictly following Ajax''s mission that is Mission: Wrecking Havoc. The more Twilight is destroyed, the more powerful he bes and if he continues the destruction, he might not even need to use the Divine Rule to fight the Rulers when theye out of their caves. ''If only I have days like these every day in my life, it would be the true Heavenly Realm for me.'' Chapter 1816 [Bonus chapter] Mission: Wrecking Havoc (6) Chapter 1816 [Bonus chapter] Mission: Wrecking Havoc (6) ''If only I have days like these every day in my life, it would be the true Heavenly Realm for me.'' For a Spirit Beast like Twilight, it was heaven to destroy daily; however, Twilight knew that if he continued to do that, he wouldn''t be enjoying it after some time. Even though Twilight likes destruction, he likes something more than destruction and it is to fight more powerful beings. With his current strength, Twilight, he could fight the Elders of the Top Sects who awakened their Divine Rules and awakened more than 20 or 30 percent. Also, it won''t be long before Twilight increases the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules to the next level where he could fight the Sect Leader of the top sects in the universe. At that time, no matter how much he destroys this universe, it won''t make Twilight satisfied. ''Even though there is a Dark Region where Brother Ajax had promised to bring me there, at the pace I am growing, I need to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to fill my future hunger for destruction.'' That''s the reason why Twilight had set a goal for himself which was to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. When Uncle Draven was exining Ajax and Jaed about some things about the Heavenly Realms, Twilight was listening to his words and learned that the Heavenly Realms were more dangerous for the cultivators and one could lose their life if they were careless for a moment. The more dangerous a ce is, the more satisfied Twilight would be and hence, he was excited about it. [Snow Mane Bullets] [Yellow Lightning des] As Twilight was destroying everything that was in front of him, Little White and the Lynx were busy taking care of the beasts and humanoid beings that Twilight missed. Even though Twilight''s attack power was huge and could create a lot more damage, he still missed some wild beasts and humanoids. But, the two teammates in the team took care of those lucky beasts and humanoids, making them unlucky. ¡­.. [Devour] [Devour] As for the most powerful team in Ajax''s six teams formed by his summons, Alder and his 10 subordinates were very efficient. Everywhere they go, only the barrennds and dried trees would be left behind. Not only did they devour the wild beasts and the humanoids, instead, they even devoured the life energy from the trees. However, no matter how many emperor realm beasts and humanoids they devoured, there was hardly any change in their cultivation because they had yet to digest the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles that they consumed nearly a month ago. They were storing everything they devoured for the future where they could seclude themselvespletely and focus on their cultivation. Especially, Alder was especially nning to enter seclusion once he breakthroughs to the peak of Emperor Realm. With a peak Emperor Realm Cultivation, Alder only needs to focus on his Divine Rule. Moreover, he was nning to awaken another Divine Rule, the Devour. If he could awaken that, Alder believed that he could directly devour an entire world and thus, he was expecting and hoping to awaken the Divine Rule at any cost. ''As a Devourer Eagle, I would be embarrassed not to have a Divine Devour Rule.'' Alder felt the pressure mainly because if he failed to awaken and if one of his subordinates awakened the Divine Devour Rule, it would be too embarrassing for him. Even though he could still maintain his leadership as the Leader of the Devourer Eagles, he would develop an inferiorityplex with those specific subordinates who awakened the Divine Devour Rule. Anyway, Alder fully kept his focus on the mission and also kept an eye on the Ruler of the region. Not only Alder, but all the team leaders except for Twilight kept an eye for the appearance of the strongest being in the Metal Region. As for Twilight, he believed that even if there was a Ruler, he would not show himself; instead, he would go to the Alder''s team because he would be causing huge damage to the region. Even though Twilight was doing a great deal of destruction, it was just a mad destruction and it could be repaired easier; however, the damage dealt by Alder would take a long time to recover. So, the Ruler''s first preference would be to go and say hello to Alder and his teams. Just like the four teams of the contracted spirit beasts, the Elemental Spirits were also able to do their share of destruction in the Metal Region. Time continued to pass and two days passed by; however, there was no trace of any rulers. Except for the one kilometer around Ajax, the remaining 99 kilometers werepletely cleared of all the Wild Beasts and the Humanoids. One portion of these 100 kilometers becamepletely barren whereas another portion had broken trees and mountains. It took an entire two days topletely clear the 100 kilometers of radius that Ajax had set for his teams. Even though it would have only taken half a day if they used their full attacks, Ajax said that they should not use their full-powered attacks. Of course, they were allowed to use their full power if they encountered the Ruler and tried their best to hold out against him. Since everyone was fine, Ajax didn''t open his eyes as he would be filling his Divine Spirit Consciousness in another few hours. So, he didn''t bother to give any new orders to his summons as he continued to absorb the Divine Essence of Nature. "Little Fox, We will be going behind the 100-kilometer mark." After waiting for a few moments, Twilight and Alder could not hold back their enthusiasm towards the destruction and Devour. Hence, they informed the Fox Clones that were apanying them before extending their range of exploration with their teams. "Who are you people? How dare you wreak havoc in our Metal Region?" Before Twilight and Alder could even make their moves, a group of 10 old men with metallic robes appeared in front of the six teams that were in different directions. Chapter 1817 Summons versus Rulers (2) Chapter 1817 Summons versus Rulers (2) In Metal Region, Floating Ind, ''Master, some powerful beings of peak Emperor Realm Cultivation have appeared in front of all six teams.'' As soon as the clones of the Ghost Fox saw the appearance of the ten old men in front of the six teams, they hurriedly informed the main body of the Ghost Fox. As for the Four-eyed Ghost Fox, he transmitted his voice to Ajax in a calm tone as he didn''t want Ajax''s cultivation to be disturbed. Even though the Ghost Fox''s clones were not sure whether those ten old men wearing the metallic robes were the rulers of the Metal Region or not; however, they were sure about one thing and it was that the team leaders of the six teams became cautious and asked their teammates to be careful. ''Huh? They have finally arrived?'' As for Ajax, his Divine Spirit Consciousness only needed two thousand more units of Divine Essence of Nature topletely fill it; however, when he heard the appearance of some powerful beings, Ajax decided to stop his cultivation session for now. ''Moreover, ording to Ghost, these 10 beings look just like humans. Even if they were not the rulers of the Metal Region, I believe they have enough information on them.'' Actually, Ajax was not to take down the rulers of the Metal Region and the only reason why he started the Mission: Wrecking Havoc was to make those rulerse out of their caves. Once he met them, Ajax believed that he would get enough information about the Floating Ind and how to enter the Fire Region of the Floating Ind. As for whether Ajax had to resort to violence or not while dealing with those ten old men, it depends on their behaviour. ''However, thanks to the Mission: Wrecking Havoc, I don''t think they would be calm and have a peaceful conversation.'' Ajax knew that it was impossible to have a peaceful conversation in his current situation. The Mission: Wrecking Havoc was important because, without it, the cultivators in charge of the region wouldn''t be showing themselves. Moreover, even with that mission, it took more than two days for those 10 old men to show up and this concludes that these old men must be in a deep seclusion to rush out of their caves very soon. "Anyway, let''s go and check up on them and see what I can do with them." Shaking his head, Ajax looked at Siora who was staring at him for a while now and said, "Siora, let''s go." As soon as he said that, Ajax didn''t wait for Siora''s reply as he held her hand and started using [Celestial Void Step] to teleport in the direction where Four Old Men were staring at the ten Devour Eagles. As for Aron, Ajax realized that his father had broken through to the Emperor Realm and was consolidating his cultivation. Compared to increasing the cultivation, consolidating the cultivation was much easier and required less focus. Moreover, it was Aron who had lots of experience in his two lives. So, Ajax informed his father about their departure and left him alone because he believed that his father could take care of himself. Also, the 100-kilometer radius around them waspletely safe and secure as no wild beasts or humanoids were living in that particr location. ¡­. The 10 old men in the metallic robes that appeared in that location were split into various directions to cover Ajax''s six teams. For the two elemental spirit teams along with Raweth and Sparrow''s teams, there was one old man each and for Twilight''s team, there were two old men. Alder''s team of 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors, which was the strongest team among the six teams, had the luxury of meeting four old men. Even though it was the strongest team, Ajax knew that if those old men had awakened the Divine Rules, it would be impossible for Alder and his subordinates to defeat those old men. As for others, all the team leaders of the contracted spirit beasts could manage and even stall for some time fighting against the old men with their Divine Rules. For the two teams of the Elemental Spirits, Ajax knew that under Volcanis and Necros'' leadership, they would fight with the old men because some elemental spirits awakened their Elemental Ascendance. Even though the permanent power gained from the Elemental Ascendance was iparable to the temporary boost gained by the Divine Rules, it was enough for stalling some time. Moreover, Ajax had a strong belief that these elemental spirits ... as long as they worked together, they might end up killing their opponent with the Divine Rules. Also, there is still the [Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline] along with the [Ancient Summoner God''s Bloodline] to temporarily boost the strength of those elemental spirits. Adding all these things, Ajax mainly chose to go to the ce where there were four old men because the situation didn''t seem to be good for Alder and his team. ¡­. "Who are you? How dare you mess up my region?" The four old men red at the 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors in front of them and emitted their cultivation pressure. Even though those old men emitted the cultivation pressure of the Peak Emperor Realm, it didn''t do anything to these 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors, which in turn made the four old men even angrier. "Brothers, let''s not waste our time on these Evil Beasts and kill them all." One of the old men suggested to his brothers and without waiting for the reply, he rushed towards Alder because it was very easy to figure out that Alder was the leader. Once the leader was gone, the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors could be their toys. "Little Brother, just kill the leader. Let''s tame the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors as our Flying Mounts¡­Haha." As for the three old men, their eyes turned greedy when they saw the powerful-looking Devourer Eagle Emperors because they knew that these Devourer Eagle Emperors were perfect to be their mounts. ***** Chapter 1818 Summons versus Rulers (2) Chapter 1818 Summons versus Rulers (2) Devourer Eagles were rare spirit beasts and Devourer Eagle Emperors could be considered even more rare. Even though their attacks might not be as powerful as the strongest spirit beasts in the universe, they were perfect as the flying mounts thanks to the eleration Bestial Souls that they cultivate. With such a good Bestial Soul, their speed could be so far that even the Emperor Realm Cultivators with Divine Rules have a hard time catching them. So, the four old men felt that they should tame the Devourer Eagle Emperors and turn them into their flying mounts. Since they were 10 brothers, even after killing the leader of the Devourer Eagle Emperors, they would have enough Devourer Eagle Emperors to tame. [Metallic sh] The old man who rushed to attack Alder also had a simr thought as he directly aimed at Alder''s throat to kill it in a single strike. [Divine Wind Rule] ''Swoosh'' However, how could Alder let the old man kill him that easily? Without any hesitation, he activated his Divine Rule and in the next second, his speed was so high that the old man''s critical attacknded on the afterimage left behind by Alder. [Critical Talent Strike] Alder didn''t stop with just dodging the iing attack; instead, he countered the old man with one of his powerful close-range attacks aiming to kill the old man in a single strike. ''sh'' Alder''s talons were already so strong and powerful and thanks to the boost in Alder''s speed that came from the Divine Wind Rule, that attack became even more powerful that before the old man could even block the iing attack, his body was already torn into two parts. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' The two parts of the body fell to the ground under the shocked looks of three old men. ''Let''s take care of the other three old men before they can do anything.'' Alder had vast fighting experience and he knew that attack was the best defence. It was his habit to use the most powerful attack when he encountered multiple powerful enemies at once. He would try to use his powerful attack to kill one or two to induce some fear into the remaining and while they remain in their shock, he would either use that time to kill them or if he was not confident in killing them all, he would flee. That''s right! Even though he was a proud Devourer Eagle Emperor, he wouldn''t hesitate to fly away when he found the situation was too difficult for him. Because he knew very well that only the living have the chance to make aeback and that''s how he was able to be the King of the Smaller World that Ajax got it from. As for his current situation, Alder was not worried too much because he had already received the voice transmission from Ajax who was only a couple of minutes away from him. So, he didn''t ask his subordinates to escape as their master wasing soon. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' [Feather Strike] Thus, without wasting any time, Alder made a turn and used a long-range attack on the remaining three old men. "What?" "He¡­he awakened a Divine Rule with just a High-level Emperor Realm cultivation?" The three old men were shocked for a moment and looked at Alder in a new light. As for the iing sharp feathers, the three old men nced at them for a moment before revealing a slight smile. [Divine Metal Rule] In the next second, one of the three old men moved in front of the other two old men and blocked the iing sharp feathers. ''ng'' ''ng'' The sharp feathers were all attracted to that particr old man and all those feathers were broken without leaving a scratch on the old man. "Little Bird, you surprised us by activating your Divine Rule; however, in front of us, your Divine Rule is useless." The old man chuckled and at the same time scoffed at Alder. Even though they were surprised by Alder''s Divine Rule, they were sure that it would have less than 10 percent of awakening and could not use it for much longer. Moreover, there were three of them who had the Divine Rules. So, whatever that Alder does, he won''t be winning against them. "So what?" On the other hand, Alder, as a proud spirit beast, didn''t like that the old man was scoffing at him. So, he retorted with words, "I have already killed one of you and even if I had to die today, I will be killing at least one of you¡­keke." Alder''s voice seemed pure evil when he said those words, making the ten Devourer Eagle Emperors unconsciously shiver. "Haha" On the other hand, hearing Alder''s words, the old man startedughing as he asked one of the two old men standing behind him, "Second Brother, go and check on the fourth brother." "There is no need to check up on him, he will be waking up in a few minutes." The old man who was being addressed as Second Brotherzily replied after taking a nce at the two parts of the old man that Alder had torn apart earlier. "Huh?" Alder frowned when he heard that and hurriedly looked at the corpse on the ground. ''Swoosh'' From the two parts of the corpse, tiny metallic things seemed to move as they started attaching to one another. Of course, it was very slow and Alder believed that it would at least take an hour for those two parts to join together. ''So, it looks like they were not humans but belong to some Metal-type race. Moreover, from the looks of it, they seemed to have a special regenerative ability.'' Even though it was a serious issue, Alder tried his best to remain calm and analyzed his opponents. ''Since they have special regenerative abilities, I should go with my usual attacking pattern.'' Thanks to his calmness, Alder was able to think about something and without wasting any time, he used a bunch of skills on the three old men. Chapter 1819 Summons versus Rulers (3) Chapter 1819 Summons versus Rulers (3) In another location, "You are a mere lizard and how dare you wreak havoc in our territory?" Looking at the huge purple-coloured dragon in front of them, the two old men asked it with a face full of rage. "If I answer your question, will you forget about the damage I caused in your territory?" Twilight pped his huge wings as he asked in a calm tone while looking at the two old men in the sky. Like the four old men who appeared in front of Alder and his team, these two old men were also wearing the same metallic robes. Even though Twilight was talking in a low tone, his tone contained a hint of mockery that could be clearly heard. "Damn you¡­.lizard! Let''s see whether you can " Hearing Twilight''s words, the two old men who were already holding back themselves could not control their anger any more as they directly flew towards Twilight. [Destructive Winds] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' When he replied to the old men with a question, Twilight had already expected such a reaction from them. Hence, he was ready for the iing attack from the old men as he strongly pped his wings to create powerful destructive winds to push the iing old men away. "These cheap tricks won''t work on us." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After saying that, the old men easily dodged the iing destructive winds. "Little White, take Little Lynx and leave this ce. I will take care of these two grandpas." However, Twilight didn''t bother to say anything to them; instead, he ordered the Snow Lion Emperor and the Lightning Lynx to leave the ce. Even though Twilight looks careless in managing his team, he would put his life on the line when ites to protecting his teammates. Moreover, Twilight considered Little White and the Little Lynx as his little brothers and as a big brother, he had to protect them. As for their master, Twilight had already informed Ajax that he could manage the two old men on his own and asked him to take care of the other teams if they needed his help. "Yes, Brother Twilight." Little White and Little Lynx didn''t hesitate to follow Twilight''s order because they knew that they wouldn''t be helpful in the current situation. Even though Little White might be able to deal some damage to the old men before they activate their Divine Rules, he still leaves without giving it a try. It was not because Little White was afraid; instead, it was because Twilight''s attacks led to a wide range of damage which wouldn''t differentiate between friend and foe. So, if he stayed back, either Little White would be injured or Twilight would have to hold back in his attacks which make the old men easily deal with them. "So, you are not intending to injure us with that earlier attack; instead, you want your friends to escape from us." "Do you think they can escape from us?" On the other hand, the speed at which they were rushing at Twilight was decreased because of the [Destructive Winds] and only then, they realized what Twilight was trying to do. However, after finishing their words, the two old men looked at Twilight with mocking smiles on their faces as they looked at each other and nodded their heads. ''Swoosh'' Soon, one of the old men looked in the direction that Little White and Little Lynx ran and he decided to fly in that direction. "Where do you think you are going? I am your opponent here." Before that old man could fly away, Twilight hurriedly blocked him and without giving any time for the old man, Twilight used one of his powerful attacks. [Twilight Cannon] [Metal Barrier] The old man knew that Twilight was not a normal emperor realm opponent after seeing the destruction left behind by him. Hence, the old man directly used one of his strongest defensive moves to protect himself. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Even though the metal barrier had materialized in front of the old man, the power from the Twilight Orb released by the Twilight Cannon was so powerful that it sted the old man into the second old man before pushing the two of them into the distance. "T-this power¡­it is not a normal dragon. It is a divine dragon." The two shocked old men were perfectly fine even after that attack because of the defensive robes that they were wearing. However, the impact was powerful and thanks to that impact, the old men were able to tell that Twilight was a Divine Dragon. At the same time, they sensed the Divine Aura being released by Twilight. "Sixth Brother, it looks like we have to go all out and kill it as soon as possible." Even though they assumed that Twilight was a powerful dragon, they didn''t expect that he was a Divine Dragon. After learning that, the old men were shocked and soon after, their eyes turned greedy as they looked at Twilight. "Since he is a Divine Dragon, by eating it, we can increase the awakening percentage of our Divine Rules by a huge margin, right, Fifth Brother?" The Sixth Brother nodded at the old man''s previous words as he reminded the benefits of eating a Divine Dragon. "Yes¡­yes." The Fifth Brother nodded his head excitedly as he mentioned more benefits, "We can use its bones, teeth, ws and spike to make more artifacts and upgrade our artifacts and weapons." "Since it is giving us many benefits, shall we give it a painless death¡­keke?" The two old men chuckled at the same time as they looked at each other and nodded their heads once again. "[Divine Metal Rule], activate." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the metallic robes on the two old men''s bodies shone for a moment and at the same time, the aura emitted by them increased by multiple folds. "Let''s go and kill it as soon as possible and share its meat with our brothers." [Crimson Metal de] [Metal Edgede] Since they decided to go all out and kill Twilight as soon as possible, they didn''t hold back and summoned their weapons too. Chapter 1820 Summons versus Rulers (4) Chapter 1820 Summons versus Rulers (4) At the same time, Raweth and other teams also encountered one old man who was furious about their actions of destroying their territory. In the location where Raweth and his team were present, "The re-cultivated beasts that reached the Emperor Realm¡­not bad¡­especially you." The old man looked at Zan as he nodded his head while thinking about something. "How about this? As long as you swear your loyalty to me and follow my orders in the future, I will let you live. What do you say?" Even though the old man was angry when he saw the Re-cultivated Beasts in front of him, the old man decided to keep them as his ves. With a nce, he could tell that both Raweth and Zan have a huge potential and could reach greater heights as long as they were nurtured properly. As for Dan, the Father Golden Bear King who was yet to break through to the Emperor Realm didn''t pique the old man''s interest. Nevertheless, the old man didn''t mind taking him in as long as he got Raweth and Zan as his ves. "There is no way it is going to happen." Before Raweth could say anything, Little Zan replied with a serious look on his face as he activated, "Golden Bear Emperor''s Bloodline, activate." ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' In the next second, he transformed into a five-meter-tall Golden Bear that had shining Golden Armour. "Golden Bear King''s Bloodline, acitvate." At the same time, the Father Golden Bear also activated his bloodline and transformed into a 10-meter huge Golden Bear with shining Golden Armour; however,pared to Little Zan, Dan''s armour was less thicker and less shiny. "Brother Raweth, as long as we attack him together, we can easily take him down. We will assist you in taking him down." As a Golden Bear, Zan and Dan were always one word away from getting triggered and when they heard the old man''s words of bing his ves, both the son and father became furious. Of course, they suppressed their anger a little bit as Little Zan informed Raweth that they could kill the old man if they worked together. Even though the old man had yet to activate his Divine Rule, Raweth informed Little Zan and Dan that the old man had awakened a Divine Rule. Hence, Little Zan knew that no matter how many powerful attacks they used, it would be useless; however, if it was Raweth, with the help of his Divine Fire Rule, they could kill the old man easily¡­at least that''s what the Little Zan believed. "Since Little Zan and Uncle Dan will be helping me, we can take him down." Raweth looked at the old man for a moment before replying to the Father and Son duo. "[Divine me Rule], activate." Once he said those words, Raweth didn''t hesitate to activate his Divine me Rule as he informed the Golden Bears, ''Look for an opportunity tounch your powerful attack on him.'' [Fire Wings] After that, Raweth rushed towards the old man to start the fight. "You awakened a Divine Rule at such a young age? Interesting¡­you will be a good ve for me; however, let''s see whether you can survive my attacks." Even though the old man was interested in taking Raweth and others as his ves, he was not desperate to do so. Also, since the other party wants to fight him, he could only give him his best and as for whether Raweth could survive or not, the old man wanted to see it. If he survived, the old man would turn him into his ve and if he was dead, he could only be satisfied with Little Zan. [Divine Metal Rule] With that thought in mind, the old man also activated his Divine Rule and the fight between Raweth''s team and the old man has officially begun. ¡­. In the location where Sparrow and her team were present, [Divine Dark Rule] On the other hand, the moment the old man finished his words, Sparrow directly activated her Divine Rule. It was because she sensed danger from the old man and didn''t want to give him any time. "A Divine Rule? You are not the only one with a Divine Rule." The old man was surprised for a second; however, he was quick with his actions as he activated his Divine Rule. Soon, the battle between Sparrow and the old man began. ¡­. In the location where Volcanis and his team of Elemental Spirits were present, "A bunch of Elemental Spirits dared to destroy my territory?" The old man frowned when he saw the group of Elemental Spirits and checked for the summoner. However, he was unable to find him. ''It looks like those Spirit Beasts and these Elemental Spirits belong to the same person. Which human dares to cause trouble in the Metal Region?'' ''I wonder where he is hiding?'' ''It''s alright! With me and my brothers taking the action personally, it won''t be long before he regrets his actions of using his Summons to destroy our territory.'' While waiting for a reply from the Elemental Spirits, the old man had thought about a few things. ''Everyone, be careful and let''s go with the n I informed you about before.'' On the other hand, Volcanis didn''t bother to reply to the old man before he could tell that there was no turning back now since they had already destroyed enough territory. Also, Volcanis, who was known for being careful and cautious had already devised a n in case they encountered a powerful being who awakened a Divine Rule. Hence, he informed everyone to follow that n. ''Yes, Team Leader.'' All elemental spirits had long acknowledged Volcanis as a good leader. And, after hearing Volcanis'' n, they were even more confident in taking down the old man even if he had a powerful Divine Rule. Hence, they silently acknowledged Volcanis''s orders and waited for the signal from Volcanis. "Since you have a death wish, I will fulfil it." ***** Chapter 1821 Summons versus Rulers (5) Chapter 1821 Summons versus Rulers (5) "Since you have a death wish, I will fulfil it." The old man was already furious regarding the destruction of his territory and now, they were even nning to attack him which made the old man even more angry. Hence, the old man said that he would fulfil their wish. On the other hand, Volcanis and the other elemental spirits didn''t bother to hear the old man''s words as he already executed the n they discussed previously. ¡­. In the location where Necros and his team of Elemental Spirits were present, "Where is your Summoning Master hiding? I wonder how could a cowardly master like him have got so many Elemental Spirits?" Compared to the previous old man who went to deal with Volcanis and his team, this old man thought of something. It was the number of elemental spirits that the Summoning Master had. ording to one of his ten brothers, there was only one human in their territory. So, the old man was surprised to see so many elemental spirits. ''It looks like he might have a Divine Treasure that lets him form the contracts with multiple Elemental Spirits.'' After asking some questions, the old man silently thought in his head, ''Even though that treasure might be not useful to me, I can trade it for some other Divine Treasures from the Heavenly Realm.'' The old man silently made some ns regarding the treasures that the summoner might have and thus, he enquired about Ajax. "My master¡­.you are not worthy to fight him." Necros was not offended by the old man''s words as he maintained his calm and replied with words that made the old man burst out of his rage. "Is that so? Fine then, I will kill you all before taking care of your cowardly summoning master." As soon as the old man finished his words, he flew towards Necros wanting to kill him in a single attack. "Come forth my undead army." Necros revealed an evil smile as he summoned hundreds of his undead soldiers from the ground that blocked the iing old man. "Emperor realm undead soldiers?" The old man raised his brothers; however, he didn''t think much as he shouted, "You have good skills; however, I have something that makes all your trump cards useless." [Divine Metal Rule] As soon as he finished his words, the old man activated a Divine Rule as he started massacring the undead army summoned by Necros. ''Everyone, it looks like we are lucky that b*stard has already activated his Divine Rule and all we have to do is stall for time.'' As the old man was massacring the undead soldiers who had the strength of Emperor Realm, Necros silently informed his teammates. At the same time, he ordered, ''Supporters, be careful while using your attacks. Whether we take him down or not, it entirely depends on you, guys.'' ''We will give our best.'' The supporters in his team nodded their heads with both excitement and a bit anxious. It was their first time fighting someone who awakened a Divine Rule and moreover, from the looks of it, the awakening percentage of the old man''s Divine Rule might be higher than 10 percent. So, they knew that a moment of carelessness could lead them to their death. At the same time, they were excited because if they could kill the old man on their own, it would be an achievement that they could brag to the others¡­.especially to the new elemental spirits that their master would be forming contracts soon. With that, the battle between Necros'' team and the old man began and everyone from Necros''s team was very cautious with their each move. ¡­. In the barren location, In a most difficult situation, the most important thing for anyone to do is to remain calm and only by remaining calm, can they think of a perfect n that might help them in solving their issue. Even if it fails, the worst thing that could happen to them is death; however, if their n seeds, then they might sessfully escape from the situation or kill their opponents to change the tides of the battle. Hence, Alder always tries his best to remain calm when the situation bes tense. [Wild Eagle Stirke] [Enhanced Agility] [Wing des] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After learning about the old men''s regenerative abilities, Alder had already thought of something thanks to his calmness as he rushed at the two old men by using his attacks. They might be the most normal attacks; however, thanks to the Divine Rule that increased Alder''s speed to the next level, those attacks were so powerful that the old men might die if Alder''s attacks seeded. [Metal Barrier] The old man who blocked Alder''s earlier attack shook his head when he saw Alder use his attacks madly and at the same time, he knew that he should not take Alder lightly because the other party had his Divine Rule activated. Hence, the old man referred to as ''Third Brother'' activated one of his skills to block Alder''s attack. ''Swoosh'' Even though Alder''s long attacks were blocked by the barrier, Alder was not surprised as he continued to attack the barrier. "It''s useless. No matter how much you try, you can''t break my Metal Barrier which was enhanced by my Divine Metal Rule¡­Haha." The Third Brother chuckled as he mocked Alder while informing Alder how useless his attacks were. ''Screech'' In reply, Alder released a powerful screech as he used his full speed to fly at the barrier. ''Swoosh'' However, just when he was close to the barrier, Alder didn''t bother to attack the barrier that was summoned by the Third Brother. Instead, he flew past the old men and rushed towards the Fourth Brother''s body parts that were lying on the ground. "Since you have such a good regenerative ability, I can only do this." ''Puchi'' Landing on the ground, Alder picked up the two body parts on the ground and swallowed them as a whole. "What the¡­" The Devourer Eagle Emperor''s actionspletely shocked the old men. Chapter 1822 Trigger Chapter 1822 Trigger [Bestial Devour Soul] After swallowing the corpse of the old man referred to as the fourth brother by the other old men, Alder didn''t forget to activate his Emperor Realm''s Bestial Soul. For other spirit beasts, swallowing the old man with a powerful regeneration might cause trouble in digesting; however, it was not an issue for the Leader of the Devourer Eagle Emperors because he had a powerful Bestial Soul that could digest anything it consumed. Of course, if Alder had his Divine Devour Rule, it would have been even easier to digest the old man in his stomach along with the hundreds of Zeroth Order Golden Demon Apostles in his stomach. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Alder activated his Bestial Soul, the regenerating cells in the old man stopped moving and they seemed to go into the hibernation. ''Kacha'' Soon, the two parts of the body were covered in a mysterious energy as it started disintegrating the body into tiny particles. These tiny particles wereter formed into an Energy Orb that the Devourer Eagle Emperor could use to increase his cultivation. "What the¡­" On the other hand, the Devourer Eagle Emperor''s actionspletely shocked the old men as they finally realized the main ability of the Devourer Eagle. "How dare you eat my Fourth Brother." "I am going to kill you." The Second Brother and the Third Brother came out of their shock as their faces filled with anger. Without wasting any time, the Second Brother also activated his Divine Metal Rule and rushed towards Alder along with his Third Brother to kill him. Even though the Second Brother wanted the Third Brother to kill the Devourer Eagle Emperor, after seeing how their Fourth Brother was consumed, the Second Brother no longer cared about anything. All he wanted to do right now was to kill the Devourer Eagle Emperor and retrieve their Fourth Brother from his stomach. Even though they were not sure whether their Fourth Brother could regenerate himself or not, they nned to at least retrieve his Soul, so that he could create a new body and live with them. ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' However, just when they were able to reach Alder, a powerful energy wave was released from Alder''s body that sted the iing Second and the Third Brothers away. ''What the hell is that energy?'' ''How could it st us even when we have our Divine Metal Rules activated?'' The Second and the Third Brothers were shocked as they looked at Alder with shocked looks on their faces. "Huh?" "What is happening? Why is his body shining with a bright light?" "Don''t tell me that it is what I think it is?" For a moment, they were shocked once again when they saw the shining body of the Devourer Eagle Emperor; however, it didn''t take much time for the three old men to realize what was the phenomena that Alder was currently undergoing. ¡­. ''Ding, The host''s Contracted Spirit Beast, Alder, has triggered the awakening requirements of the Divine Devour Rule by consuming a cultivator with a Divine Rule. ''Ding, The Estimated time toplete the awakening of the Divine Devour Rule is only a few minutes. ''Ding, During this time, make sure that he won''t be disturbed or killed. On the other hand, Ajax, who had long arrived at Alder''s location; however, didn''t show himself in front of the old man and received a series of system notifications. ''What? He is awakening the Divine Devour Rule?'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised after reading the system notifications and at the same time, he thought about something that made Ajax excited. ''So, the requirement of the Devourer Eagle Emperors to awaken their Divine Devour Rule was to consume a being with a Divine Rule.'' Since Alder was not the only Devourer Eagle Emperor that Ajax had, Ajax was nning to use that requirement to help the remaining 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors to awaken the Divine Devour Rule. For Devourer Eagles, the Divine Devour Rule turns them into one of the Apex Spirit Beasts in the Universe. Once the Divine Devour Rule was awakened, they would continue to grow stronger and it would be much easier for them to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rulespared to the other cultivators and beasts. So, Ajax was excited at the thought of all his Devourer Eagles having the Divine Devour Rules. ''Anyway, it''s not the time to think about these things now.'' Since the next few minutes were important for Alder, Ajax didn''t have the time to think about his future. [Celestial Void Step] Ajax took a single step in mid-air and directly appeared in front of Alder. [Thousand Sword Waves] ''Swoosh'' With a thought, the Soul sher''s Sword appeared in Ajax''s hand which he waved by using the Demi-God-Level Sword Technique that he awakened in the past. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature in Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness had disappeared, followed by the appearance of 1000 sword waves which didn''t give any gap for the iing old men to escape. ''ng'' ''ng'' ''sh'' ''sh'' Since there was no gap to escape, the old men blocked the iing sword waves with their huge swords that appeared out of nowhere. They blocked more than a hundred sword waves each with their weapons and another hundred sword waves each with their bodies. At first, there were no scratches on their metallic robes; however, as the number of sword waves touched their bodies increased, the scratches started appearing on their robes as they pushed back nearly one kilometer. Everything happened in a short span and the old men were caught off guard by Ajax''s sudden but powerful attack. "As the rulers of the Metal Region, aren''t you ashamed to gang up on a single beast?" Using the gap between him and the old men, Ajax spoke some words to insult them. "Before killing my beasts, you have to go through me." Ajax looked at the two old men who were yet to recover from being pushed back and thought of taking care of them in a single go. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' Chapter 1823 Head Explosion Chapter 1823 Head Explosion At first, Ajax thought that he should let his Summons take care of the old men; however, unlike the other teams, Alder''s team had encountered four old men. Nevertheless, Alder was able to kill one of them. Moreover, after consuming that old man, Alder entered into an Enlightenment State where he was awakening the Divine Rule. Hence, there was nothing Ajax could do other than take action personally. [Abyssal Beast God Bloodline] First, Ajax activated his bloodline because he knew that with the boost from the bloodline, all his Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts would be a lot more powerful and could even have the power to fight against these cultivators who have awakened the Divine Rules. ''Let''s test how powerful I am.'' Anyway, Ajax felt that he could use this opportunity to test his battle prowess. Even though Ajax was not using his full battle prowess like using his Divine Rules, Ajax wanted to see what he could do without using the Divine Rules. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' Once that thought appeared in Ajax''s head, he didn''t waste any time as he directly teleported to the old man who was being referred to as the Third Brother. [Thunderstrike Palm] Using his full power, Ajax used his Demi-God-Level Palm Technique on the back of that old man. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' The Third Brother was yet to recover from Ajax''s earlier attack and didn''t have enough time to either block or dodge the attack. In the next moment, there was a loud rumbling sound followed by the old man falling to the ground and creating a huge crater. "Third Brother." The First and Second Brothers were once again shocked to see Ajax''s quick and powerful attacks. ''It looks like his awakening percentage of the Divine Rule is less than 10 percent.'' ''Ding, The awakening percentage of this Third Brother is 9 percent. That''s what Ajax silently thought and at the same time, the system informed him about his opponent''s awakening percentage of his Divine Metal Rule. ''Let''s kill him before the other two old men could join the action. Just like how Alder was quick with his actions, Ajax also wanted to use the other party''s shock to his advantage and lessen his pressure. With only two old men with Divine Rules left, Ajax was confident in taking care of them with his Divine Rule even if those two old men joined hands to attack him. [Celestial Void Step] [Thunderstrike Palm] With that thought in mind, Ajax took a simple step as he used his palm technique once again to kill the old man in the crater. ''ng'' However, this time, there was no explosion whatsoever as Ajax''s attack was perfectly blocked by a metallic armour that covered the old man''s entire body. [Divine Metal Rule: Perfect Body Armour] The old man in the crater slowly stood up from the ground as he shouted out the name of the skill that he activated to block Ajax''s attack. "Die, you little b*stad." As Ajax was not expecting the old man to block his attack, he was shocked and before he could react, the old man''s powerful fist that was covered in shining metallic armour sted Ajax into the distance. "Brothers, kill that Devourer Eagle Emperor that was trying to awaken the Divine Rule. I will take care of that b*stard." Even though the old man used his full power in his earlier fist, he saw that Ajax perfectlynded on the ground a few kilometers in the distance. Therefore, he informed his two brothers to take care of the Devourer Eagle Emperor whereas he nned to take care of Ajax. "First Brother, there is no need for you to take action. I will take care of this beast." The Second Brother nodded his head at the Third Brother before looking at Alder with full determination to kill it. "Now, how are you going to protect your beast?" The Third Brother flew to Ajax and while throwing a punch at him, he scoffed at Ajax. "Cough¡­cough" The earlier punch from the old man was so powerful that it shook Ajax''s internal organs while making him cough a mouthful of blood. However, Ajax was not worried much about it as he looked at the iing old man with a slight smile on his face as he replied, "Do you think I am alone?" "What?" The old man frowned; however, he didn''t think much about it as he focused on his attack. On the other hand, Ajax was not worried about Alder''s safety because there was a powerful person who would be protecting him. As for him, Ajax decided to take care of the old man who wanted to die very badly. [Divine Death Rule] Without any hesitation, Ajax activated a Divine Rule that he was very curious and excited to use. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine Death Rule. It can be maintained for two minutes. As soon as he activated the Divine Death Rule, Ajax received a system notification, which Ajax didn''t bother to listen to. "Huh? So, you have a Divine Rule too?" The old man was already shocked to see that the Devourer Eagle Emperor had a Divine Rule at the High-level Emperor Realm Cultivation; however, now, the human in front of him was only a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator but he also had a Divine Rule. Moreover, from the aura that was being released by Ajax, the old man could tell that it was one of the rarest Divine Rules, the Divine Death Rule. ''I am going to kill you at any cost, you little b*stard.'' ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, the old man didn''t stop his attack; instead, he started burning his Life Energy to take Ajax down with his next punch. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the old man reached Ajax and his punch perfectlynded on Ajax''s head. ''Puchi'' The moment the old man''s punch touched Ajax''s head, it exploded like a watermelon, making the old man reveal a satisfied smile on his face. ''Finally, I can keep my face in front of the first brother.'' Chapter 1824 Powerful Divine Death Rule Chapter 1824 Powerful Divine Death Rule ''Finally, I can keep my face in front of the first brother.'' The old man was embarrassed about how he got mmed to the ground by Ajax earlier and the only way he could lessen his embarrassment was by killing Ajax. Hence, after exploding Ajax''s head, the Third Brother felt that he could face his elder brother. "If you have such a good Divine Rule, you should have used it before; however, it is toote now." At the same time, the old man looked at Ajax''s headless corpse and could not help but scoff at Ajax. The reason why the old man was able to kill Ajax easily was because, not only did he activate his Divine Rule but he also activated the skill connected to his Divine Metal Rule, making him very powerful. So, killing Ajax who only activated his Divine Rule was as easy as killing a fly. "Second Brother, if you have the time to brag,e and help me." On the other hand, the Second Brother called for the third brother''s help. "Huh? What? The Second Brother needs my help?" Only then, did the Third Brother notice that the Second Brother was fighting an elf who was protecting the Devourer Eagle King. "So, you are not lying about being alone. However, it''s too bad" The third brother was surprised for a moment when he heard the First Brother''s words and then looked at the headless corpse of Ajax and chuckled a little. "There is no need. You can''t defeat her. Leave her to me." However, before the third brother could reply to the Second Brother, the First Brother who remained silent until now had finally spoken. ''Swoosh'' [Divine Metal Rule] As soon as he finished his words, he activated his Divine Metal Rule and decided to fight Siora. The First Brother was the oldest one among the ten brothers and had a lot of experience. With a single look, he could tell that even though Siora looked young, she was powerful¡­.powerful enough to defeat the Second Brother. The First Brother was waiting for a strong opponent like Siora and finally decided to use her to test his battle prowess. The problem of the strongest cultivators was finding good sparring partners and opponents. Even though the First Brother has 9 young brothers who awakened the Divine Rules, he could not go all out against them because he would identally kill them. Hence, the old man was finally excited when he saw how the Second Brother was unable tond a single attack on Siora. "Little Girl, I will be your opponent. Don''t hold back and give your all." [Divine Metal Rule-Perfect Body Armour] Not only did the old man activate the Divine Metal Rule, but, he also activated the skill connected to it and in the next second, his entire body was covered in a shining metal armour. "It looks like I don''t have to do anything and you have got enough wrath from the death of that person." The old man wanted to make Siora furious and that''s how a cultivator could go all out while attacking someone. Hence, the old man also used Ajax to fulfil his goals. "Is that so?" However, on the other hand, Siora was not as furious with the First Brother''s words as she replied, "I am done here and I am needed somewhere else. As for you, let''s meet again if you are alive." ''Swoosh'' As soon as she finished her words, Siora activated one of her skills to leave the ce. She was not worried about Ajax at all because she had already received the voice transmission from Ajax and received some new orders. Hence, she decided to follow those orders. "Huh?" The three old men raised their brows when they saw that Siora was not at all sad regarding the death of her cultivationpanion. "Where do you think you are going? Did I permit you?" Nevertheless, the First Brother was quick toe out of his thoughts as he tried to block Siora. It''s been a long time since he found a powerful opponent who doesn''t belong to the Floating Ind. So, how could he let her go just like that? Hence, he tried to stop her at any cost as he wanted a fight very badly. "Your opponent will be me." ''Swoosh'' Suddenly a silhouette appeared in front of the First Brother and blocked what he was nning to do. "Y-you¡­you are still alive?" The First Brother was annoyed a little with the sudden blockage of his ns; however, when he saw who dared to block his path, the old man was shocked. "Yeah¡­I am still alive and will continue to live even after your death." It was none other than Ajax who was no longer headless and in fact, there was not a single scratch on his body. He looked in his peak condition as he replied to the old man with a slight smile on his face, making the old man''s face turn ugly. "Also, you are not the only one with good regeneration skill, I also have a good regeneration skill of my own." Ajax didn''t forget to brag about his regeneration skill, making the old man very serious. Ajax''s skill had nothing to do with regeneration; instead, his skill allows him to revive unlimited times. It won''t heal injuries or recover the severed arms; however, if his heart stops beating, he would be revived to his peak state with the help of his Divine Rule''s skill, the [Death Domain]. Before the old man''s punch couldnd on his face, Ajax had activated this powerful skill of his that was awakened under his Divine Death Rule. Also, that''s the reason why Ajax didn''t bother to block the old man''s punch to his face because Ajax wanted to test his Divine Death Rule and its skill. Finally, he saw what he could do with it and became interested in increasing the awakening percentage of that Divine Death Rule. "If you are alive¡­then what about my Third Brother?" Chapter 1825 Powerful Divine Death Rule (2) Chapter 1825 Powerful Divine Death Rule (2) "If you are alive¡­then what about my Third Brother?" At the same time, the First Brother suddenly remembered about his third brother who was standing near Ajax''s headless corpse earlier. "Your brother? I felt he was missing his Fourth Brother. So, I wanted to reunite them. Hopefully, he could catch up with his Fourth Brother soon." With a simple chuckle on his face, Ajax replied to the old man, who was once again shocked to see the corpse of his Third Brother that was lying on the ground. "You impudent b*stard¡­how dare you kill my brother." Compared to Ajax killing his Third Brother, the First Brother was angered by Ajax''s words and wanted to kill Ajax as soon as possible and help his Third Brother. Even though his Third Brother might have died; however, he had his own methods to bring him back from the dead. However, to do that, he needed to kill Ajax first as he should not be disturbed in the process of reviving his Third Brother. "I am going to kill you." With that thought in mind, the First Brother rushed at Ajax with his full perfect body armour. ''Swoosh'' The First Brother threw a series of punches at Ajax; however, Ajax dodged them and with a single step, he returned to the ce where the old man''s corpse was lying. "Cale, eat this corpse and activate your Bestial Devour Soul." After returning to that ce, Ajax quickly picked up the corpse and threw it at one of the Devourer Eagle Emperors. Since he learned that the Devourer Eagle Emperors could awaken the Divine Devour Rule by consuming a cultivator who awakened a Divine Rule, Ajax wanted to make use of the old man that he killed for a good cause. "Screech" The Devourer Eagle Emperor activated its Bestial eleration Soul and quickly caught the corpse and swallowed it in a single gulp before activating the Bestial Devour Soul. Since these old men had mysterious healing and regeneration abilities, the only way to put an end to this was to quickly convert them into Energy Orbs such that the Devourer Eagle Emperors could use those Energy Orbs to either increase their cultivation or increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule. As for awakening the Divine Devour Rule, by sessfully converting the Corpse into an Energy Orb, the Devourer Eagle Emperor could awaken the Divine Rule. "Damn you." Seeing Ajax''s actions, the old man became even more furious. "Since you like to y dirty, I will also let you see what happens to those who mess with my brothers." The First Brother controlled his anger because he knew that the rage he was currently feeling inside him was only making him think less and it would only give advantage to his opponents. So, the only way to repay his opponent for what he did was by doing something simr to what his opponents had done to him. "Second Brother, let that girl go. Kill that Devourer Eagle Emperor who is trying to awaken the Divine Rule. After that, kill the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors." Since he lost two of his brothers because of Ajax, the First Brother wanted to make sure that Ajax also felt the pain of losing some of his spirit beasts. Especially the Devourer Eagle Emperor which was awakening its Second Divine Rule. Also, the First Brother didn''t n to take the Devourer Eagle Emperors as their Flying Mounts anymore because if he looked at them, he would only recall the death of his two brothers. "Yes, First Brother." The Second Brother that was trying to catch Siora stopped chasing her and turned around to nod his head at the First Brother before flying towards Alder. "Don''t worry. I am not going to kill you so soon. I will let you watch the deaths of your Contracted Spirit Beasts." Even though the bonding between the Blood Brother and the Contracted Spirit Beasts could not bepared, the only way that the old man could make Ajax feel the pain was by killing his Contracted Spirit Beasts. So, while throwing another series of pouches at Ajax, the old man said those words. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Unlike before, Ajax no longer dodged the First Brother''s punches anymore; instead, he let the First Brother punch him to his heart''s content. ''What? He died just like that?'' On the other hand, the old man was shocked when he saw Ajax''s body fall to the ground. Since the old man had activated his Divine Metal Rule and even used the skill rted to the Divine Rule, his normal punch was enough to kill the peak Emperor Realm Cultivators. Of course, as long the other party blocks the attacks, it won''t be deadly anymore. He was not expecting Ajax to not block his attacks because the old man didn''t have any thoughts of killing Ajax so soon. ''Wait a second¡­it looks like he will be revived.'' When this thought came to his head, the old man heaved a sigh of relief because his heart was filled with anger and he needed Ajax to vent it out. ''Ding, The host died after receiving a series of punches. ''Ding, However, since the Death Domain is still active, he will be revived to his peak state. Ajax lost consciousness for a moment before it returned and his condition returned to normal. Following that, Ajax received the system notifications; however, Ajax didn''t look at them because it was not his first time receiving such system notifications. "Since you have killed me once, it is my turn to kill you." After reviving, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he said those words. "Haha¡­it''s the biggest joke that I have ever heard in my life." The First Brother, of course, didn''t believe it and startedughing at Ajax''s words. "Before killing me, why don''t you take a look at your beast''s death." Pointing at Alder, the old man asked Ajax to look at the sky. "Sorry to disappoint you but I have let you live for so long already. It''s time for you to die." [Death Domain - Instant Death]. Chapter 1826 Ajaxs Death Domain Chapter 1826 Ajax''s Death Domain Ajax was not worried about the Devourer Eagle Emperor because the Second Brother was still a few kilometers away from them. Moreover, the most important thing was, that Ajax received the notification from the system that Alder had sessfullypleted his awakening of the Divine Devour Rule. With the awakening of Alder''s new Divine Rule, Ajax was not at all worried about Alder''s safety. Also, Ajax wanted to kill the First Brother who was the most powerful among the 10 old men that came out of their caves to stop his Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits. As for his main goal of getting information about the Rulers and the Territories of the Floating Ind, Ajax was not worried much about it because he only needed one of these old men to be alive to get the full information. For Ajax, he didn''t need the full information about the Rulers and the Territories of the Floating Ind. All he needed was the basic information which Ajax believed that any of these old men could give him. So, Ajax was nning to kill everyone except for one from whom Ajax was nning to get all the basic information he needed. [Death Domain - Instant Death]. ording to his n, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly used one of the effects of his Death Domain. Death Domain is the skill connected to the Divine Death Rule and it has only two main effects. One is [Instant Death] in which it kills anyone that Ajax wanted to die and at the same time, that cultivator should be standing in the Death Domain created by Ajax. The second effect is called [Instand Revive], with which Ajax could not only revive himself but he could also revive anyone standing in the Death Domain. In short, Ajax would be the God who will be in control of the Life and Death within the Death Domain. The moment the [Death Domain] is used, the location of one meter around Ajax would be fixed as the [Death Domain] until Ajax used his Divine Death Rule once again. Previously, Ajax had already used the [Death Domain-Instand Revive] to revive earlier when fighting with the Third Brother and the Death Domain had already been fixed. That''s the reason why Ajax teleported back to that particr location and let the First Brother kill him because he could revive limitlessly until the duration of the Divine Death Rule ran out. Also, another one of the reasons why Ajax wanted to kill the First Brother as soon as possible was because he was running out of time for his Divine Death Rule. ''There is still 30 seconds left before I have to deactivate the Divine Death Rule.'' Ajax checked out the time before activating the second effect of the Divine Death Rule. [Death Domain - Instant Death]. ''Huh?'' When the First Brother heard Ajax''s words, he frowned for a moment and before he could realize what skill Ajax had used, the old man felt his heart being squeezed by a thorny vine. "D¡­damn ¡­.it¡­ what¡­. Is¡­ this skill?" The old man ced his hand on the chest and looked at Ajax with shock, ''How¡­. is¡­. This¡­. Possible?'' The old man could tell that Ajax''s Divine Rule had awakened by only one or two percent; however, with it, Ajax was able to deal with him, a cultivator with a Divine Metal Rule whose awakening percentage was nearly 20 percent. "Even though my awakening percentage might be only 1 percent; however, you have killed me once and isn''t it the only right thing to repay you?" The reason why Ajax was able to ignore such a huge difference in the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules between him and the First Brother was because he had fulfilled one of the crucial requirements for the [Instant Death]. If Ajax used the effect [Instant Death] directly on the First Brother, it would only weaken him a little and feel a little pain; however, with the crucial requirement which was killing Ajax, Ajax could ignore the full defence of the old man to instantly kill him. ''Even though the Death Domain has its own set of rules, they are not veryplex and very easy to fulfil.'' Another reason why Ajax liked his Divine Death Rule was because of these crucial requirements. During a fight, letting his opponent kill him was the easiest thing to do and all you have to do for that is¡­do nothing and let your opponent kill you. Once that happens, you can instantly kill your opponent, no matter how powerful he is. Of course, the underlying condition was that the opponent should be within a meter radius of Ajax¡­which is also called Ajax''s Death Domain. ''Aargh'' ''Putong'' As for the First Brother, he still had an unwilling look on his face when he looked at Ajax as he fell to the ground with his hand on his chest. Even in his wildest dreams, he would be killed by a young man, who didn''t even make any effort in killing him. He was both angry and unconvinced at his death. As a cultivator, the First Brother knew that he would die by fighting others; however, he never expected to die so easily in the hands of a cultivator who was much weaker than him. Even though Ajax looked very weak in the eyes of the First Brother, Ajax was more powerful than that because he had Seven Divine Rules with four of them reaching 20 percent awakening, one had awakened by 10 percent and the remaining two were awakened by 1 percent. Of those two Divine Rules with a 1 percent awakening rate, the Divine Death Rule was one and if Ajax used the Divine Fire Rule or another other Divine Rules, Ajax could easily kill them without going through all these things. "Elder Brother." The second brother, who was rushing to attack Alder, was shocked to see the death of his First Brother. "Alder, you can take care of him, right?" As for Ajax, he didn''t bother about the Second Brother as he asked Alder. Chapter 1827 Failed Trigger Chapter 1827 Failed Trigger After taking care of the strongest old man, Ajax decided not to take any action against the Second Old Man because he wanted to let his Devourer Eagle Emperor test out his new Divine Rule. "Don''t worry, Master. I will take care of him." Even though Alder has awakened the Divine Rule just now and it only had one percent of the awakening percentage, he was fully confident in taking down the Second Brother who has the Divin Rule with an awakening percentage of 10 percent. It was because Alder''s battle prowess was already very strong and adding to the Five Times boost from Ajax''s bloodline along with the boost from the newly awakening Divine Devour Rule, Alder had nothing to worry about while fighting against the Second Brother. Hence, he assured Ajax that he didn''t have to worry about him anymore. "Good then. I will check on the other teams." Even though Ajax didn''t receive the ''Help'' requests from the other teams, Ajax wanted to check on them to see how they were fighting against the Old Men with the Divine Rule. "By the way, don''t kill him. I want him alive." Of course, Ajax didn''t forget to inform the Devourer Eagle Emperor to let the Second Brother live because Ajax needed to get some information from him. "Yes, Master." Alder nodded his head as he released a powerful screech that could make the normal cultivators and the spirit beasts go deaf. ''Screech'' [Divine Devour Rule] After the screech, Alder didn''t waste any time as he activated his Divine Devour Rule. Soon, the fight between Alder and the Second Brother started. ''Ding, The Devourer Eagle Emperor named Cale has converted the corpse into the Energy Orb. It failed to trigger the awakening of the Divine Devour Rule. Just when Ajax was thinking of throwing the strongest old man''s corpse to the second Devourer Eagle Emperor, he received a system notification that made him frown. ''What? He failed to awaken the Divine Devour Rule?'' Ajax frowned as he asked the system, ''System, didn''t you say that the Devourer Eagle Emperors could awaken the Divine Devour Rule by consuming the cultivators who awakened the Divine Rules?'' ''Ding, The Devourer Eagle Emperor has not met all the requirements to trigger the awakening of the Divine Devour Rule. ''Huh? What?'' Ajax raised his brows as he tried to understand what went wrong with the Second Devourer Eagle Emperor that he failed to trigger the awakening of the Divine Rule. ''What are the differences between Alder and Cale?'' As the fight between Alder and the Second Brother was going on, Ajax quicklypared the differences between Alder and Cale. ''The main difference between them was obviously their cultivation. Alder is a high-level Emperor Realm Beast whereas Cale is a mid-level Emperor Realm Beast.'' Even though Alder was a born King-level beast, Ajax didn''t consider it as the main difference because Alder was no longer a King-level Beast. After all, after a Spirit Beast reaches the Emperor Realm, those titles won''t hold much value other than giving some additional battle prowess and suppressing power. ''It looks like I should let them consume these corpses after they reach the High-level Emperor Realm beast; however, I think it would be toote by then.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to let another Devourer Eagle Emperor consume the corpse of the First Brother. ''Even though it would be too wasteful not to make use of the trigger, these Devourer Eagle Emperors could gain other benefits by consuming these corpses.'' These Devourer Eagle Emperors could convert these corpses into Energy Orbs and these Energy Orbs could be used to increase their cultivation. Since these cultivators awakened the Divine Rules when they were alive and were quickly converted into Energy Orbs before the Divine Rules could be dissipated, there would be still the traces of Divine Rules in those Energy Orbs which could help these Devourer Eagle Emperors a lot in increasing their cultivation. Moreover, from this point onwards, Ajax knew that he would be meeting more powerful cultivators with Divine Rules and could provide their corpses to his Devourer Eagle Emperors to help them awaken the Divine Devour Rules. Before that, Ajax wanted to use the corpses of these old men to increase the strength of the Devourer Eagle Emperors as soon as possible so that they could be ready to awaken the Divine Devour Rules when the time came. "Here, consume it and convert it into the Energy Orb before absorbing the energy orb to increase your cultivation." Ajax put an end to his thoughts as he threw the corpse at the second Devourer Eagle Emperor named Cade and ordered him to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. "Cale, you have already got the Energy Orb in your body. Use it to increase your cultivation and reach the High-level Emperor Realm and I will help you awaken the Divine Devour Rule just like Alder." Ajax ordered the first Devourer Eagle Emperor before looking at the remaining eight Devourer Eagle Emperors, Ajax ordered, "As for the remaining eight Eagles, the one who reaches the High-level Emperor Realm, I will help them first in awakening their Divie Devour Rules. Do you understand?" Once Ajax finished his words, he asked whether they understood him. "Yes, Master," Everyone became excited when they heard Ajax''s words about helping them awaken the Divine Devour Rule. For the Devourer Eagles, having a Divine Devour Rule was a proud achievement and of course, they were excited when they heard Ajax''s words. As for reaching the High-level Emperor Realm, they were not worried too much about it because their bodies were filled with hundreds of Energy Orbs which they got from converting the corpses of the Zeroth Order Demon Apostles belonging to the Greater Golden Demon Emperor. And the only thing they need right now is enough time. Even if they don''t fight and stay at one location to cultivate, their cultivation would gradually progress to the High-level Emperor Realm and thus, Ajax urges them to not waste any time and to cultivate whenever they get the time. **** The Five Bonus Chapters I promised to release, I will release them on 1st Oct. Also, continue to support me. Thank you. Chapter 1828 Lightning Devour Chapter 1828 Lightning Devour Human and other humanoid cultivators could increase their cultivation by circting the Cultivation Technique and absorbing the essence of nature around them. As for the spirit beasts, they needed to consume other spirit beasts or cultivators to increase their cultivators. The Devourer Eagles fall under a special category of the Spirit Beasts, where they could use their [Devour] ability to absorb more bestial essence and cultivation from the beings they consume. Moreover, they could consume so many beasts and beings in a single go and convert them into Energy Orbs which they could useter to increase their cultivation. All the Devourer Eagle Emperors under Ajax had consumed hundreds of corpses each when he encountered the Greater Golden Demon Emperor and these eagles had already turned all those corpses into the Energy Orbs. Hence, as soon as they heard Ajax''s words, these Devourer Eagle Emperors no longer wasted their time and started absorbing the energy from the Energy Orbs stored in their bodies to increase their cultivation. "Do you think you can defeat me just because you awakened a new Divine Rule?" On the other hand, the Second Brother looked at Alder and scoffed at him. Even though he was shocked at how easily Ajax was able to kill his First Brother, the Second Brother was no longer afraid of Ajax because Ajax''s Divine Rule had been deactivated. Without a Divine Rule, the Second Brother believed that Ajax could do nothing to him and as for the Devourer Eagle Emperor in front of him, even though it was a little difficult to kill it, the old man was not worried too much about it. The reason was simple and it was because Alder''s newly awakened Divine Rule has only one percent of awakening whereas his Divine Metal Rule has ten percent of awakening and could keep it activated for a much longer time than the Devourer Eagle Emperor. As for Ajax, the Second Brother thought he would have enough time to deal with him after he took care of the Devourer Eagle Emperor. ''Also, the other brothers were also dealing with their own opponents. I should quickly wrap up the things here and rush there to help them.'' From the voice transmission, the Second Brother had already informed the deaths of First, Third and Fourth Brothers. At the same time, he asked them to be careful while fighting their opponents. More importantly, he warned them to kill their opponents as soon as possible before rushing to the other brothers to assist them in killing their opponents. "Haha¡­I was always curious about what I can do with a Divine Devour Rule and I will let you witness it now." ''Screech'' On the other hand, Alder replied to the Second Brother as he released a loud screech into the sky before activating the skill connected to his Divine Devour Rule. [Divine Devour Rule - Lightning Devour] As soon as he activated the skill connected to the Divine Devour Rule, there were no changes in the surroundings, making the Second Brother frown. "What is it? It looks like you have a powerful bluffing skill." After waiting for a few seconds, the Second Brother could not help but mock Alder saying that he got a good bluffing skill. "Is that so?" ''Screech'' In reply, Alder remained silent as he looked at the Second Brother and let out a screech. Soon, some changes started appearing in Alder''s body and the aura emitted by him also started bing more and more powerful. ''Swoosh'' In the distance, Ajax, who was flying towards one of his exploration teams, received a series of system notifications that made Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast Alder has used [Divine Devour Rule - Lightning Devour] and rapidly burned the Energy Orbs in his body. ''Ding, Since the Divine Devour Rule is active, the energy from these Energy Orbs will be multiplied by 10 times. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast''s cultivation has increased from the High-level Emperor Realm to the Peak Emperor Realm. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the host''s contracted spirit beast''s Divine Devour Rule has increased by one percent. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the host''s contracted spirit beast''s Divine Devour Rule has increased by one percent. . . . . Not only did Alder''s cultivation increase to the peak Emperor Realm but the awakening percentage of his Divine Devour Rule also increased. From one percent of awakening to 11 percent of awakening, making Alder''s Divine Devour Rule and the Second Brother''s Divine Metal Rule equal, based on the awakening percentage. ''It looks like the Divine Devour Rule is more powerful than I imagined.'' It took a few moments for Ajax to read and digest all those system notifications and finally, Ajax learned how powerful the Divine Devour Rule was. ''It looks like it won''t be an issue to raise these Devourer Eagle Emperors anymore.'' In the past, Ajax was worried about how he would be raising the awakening percent of the Divine Rules awakened by the Devourer Eagle Emperors. Because, almost all his contracted spirit beasts would awaken the Divine Rules that were rted to a particr element and as long as Ajax got his hands on those Giant Crystals, it would be a piece of cake for Ajax to increase the awakening percentage of those Divine Rules. However, it would be difficult for Ajax to do the same for the Devourer Eagle Emperors. Nevertheless, after learning the effects of the Divine Devour Rules, Ajax finally heaved a sigh of relief and the hardest thing that he believed until now had suddenly turned into the easiest thing. To help his Devourer Eagle Emperors, all Ajax needed to do was to find some powerful opponents for them and as long as they devourer them and use their Divine Devour Rules, they could easily increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules. ''With Alder and his squad of 10 Devourer Eagles, it is going to be very interesting in the Celestial Dawn Realm¡­wait a second¡­there will be more Rulers in the Floating Ind, right?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and revealed an evil chuckle as he rapidly teleported to one of the weakest exploration teams. Chapter 1829 Life Burning Chapter 1829 Life Burning "Since our both Divine Rules have more or less the same awakening percentage, you won''t look down on me anymore, right?" Once Alder used his Divine Devour Rule''s special skill to rapidly burn the Energy Orbs in his body to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule, he asked the Second Brother with a scoff. Previously, it was the Second Brother who was scoffing at Alder; however, now, it has changed. ''T-this¡­ how¡­ is¡­.this possible?'' On the other hand, the Second Brother was shocked to see how easily Alder was able to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule. ''No¡­I can''t fight him. I have to escape from here.'' This was the first thought that came to the Second Brother''s head. Even after the death of his First Brother and other brothers, the Second Brother was still confident in killing Alder and Ajax; however, now, there was no confidence in the Second Brother. The only thing that the Second Brother wanted to do right now was to escape. Even though he respected the First Brother and cared for the younger brothers a lot, when it came to his life and death, the Second Brother was clear about his priorities and preferences. ''Nothing is above his life.'' This was what the Second Brother believed and as for the revenge, as long as he was alive, the Second Brother might think of taking the revenge. However, deep down, the Second Brother knew that even if he was given enough time, he wouldn''t be able to take revenge against Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts because they would be even more powerful by then. So, the Second Brother didn''t want to think much about revenge and decided to escape from there. ''Swoosh'' "Where do you think you are going? Didn''t you want to kill me and my master just a few moments back?" However, how could Alder let the Second Brother escape so easily? Moreover, Alder''s speed was on the next level even without the Divine Wind Rule. Hence, in a sh, Alder flew to the Second Brother and blocked his escape route. "Damn it." The Second Brother gritted his teeth as he knew that it would be quite difficult to escape from here. Therefore, he decided to do the only thing that he could do, [Divine Metal Rule - Life Burning] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he activated the special but forbidden skill connected to the Divine Metal Rule. It was a forbidden skill because by using it, even though the Second Brother could temporarily increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Metal Rule, he had to burn his life. Moreover, once his Divine Metal Rule gets deactivated, the awakening percentage of the Divine Metal Rule returns to normal. It was a trump card that the Second Brother wanted to use only when it was a life-and-death situation for him. And he was finally in the life and death situation where he had to use it. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the awakening percentage of the Second Brother rapidly increased from 10 percent to 15 percent. After that, it no longer increased. "I have lost 1000 years of my lifespan by using this skill. I am going to kill you at any cost now¡­argh." The old man became furious because 1000 years of lifespan was a huge number even for him because he believed he could have increased the awakening percentage of his Divine Metal Rule by at least 20 percent in those 1000 years. Moreover, he only had 3000 years of lifespan left before he activated the skill and now, it came down to 2000 years of lifespan. ''I was already bing hopeless in ascending to the Heavenly Realm and now with the reduction of 1000 years from my lifespan, it would be impossible for me to ascend to the Heavenly Realm unless I encounter multiple Fortuitous Encounters.'' With that thought in mind, the Second Brother furiously attacked Alder. "It''s useless." However, on the other hand, Alder was calm andposed as he didn''t even frown when he saw the Second Brother activating the forbidden skill. "No matter how many trump cards you have, you are not going to defeat me today." Alder was already a proud beast and right now, when he was fully confident in his battle prowess, there was no way for him to hold back as he proudly said to the Second Brother. [Critcal Talon] With a simple sh with his talons, Alder was able to leave a huge sh on the Second Brother''s full-body metal armour. "Even though you have a full body protective armour, it is useless in front of absolute power." [Feather Strike] Before the Second Brother could react, the countless sharp feathers came at him and pierced through his armour. ''Puchi'' ''ng'' ''Kacha'' Even though some of the sharp feathers were blocked by his armour, more than half of the sharp feathers were able to be easily pierced through it. ''Thud'' The fight between Alder and the Second Brother was happening in mid-air and by receiving some many sharp feathers, the Second Brother lost his flying momentum and fell to the ground with a thud. ''Swoosh'' "I have some questions for you. As long as you answer them, I can give you a quick death." Alder flew down and ced his talon on both hands of the Second Brother as he said those words. "What? Do you think I am an idiot to give what you want even after knowing that I will die?" The Second Brother''s body was covered in an armour that was full of sharp feathers as blood flowed out and covered the half-broken armour. He knew that he could not win against the Devourer Eagle Emperor any more. So, the only thing that the Second Brother could do right now was not to answer Alder''s questions. "Is that so?" Alder knew it wouldn''t be an easy task to tame the Second Brother to get the answers that Ajax wanted to know. Hence, he prepared on how he could get the answers from him. "Everyone,e here." Alder had already subdued the Second Brother where the Second Brother could not even move from his ce, much less use any of his skills. So, Alder called his ten subordinates. "It''s time to peck¡­only use as little power as possible as we need him alive to get the answers." As soon as he gave themand, Alder and the ten Devourer Eagle Emperors started pecking at the Second Brother. The Second Brother''s already punctured body was getting more and more holes in it. The pecks from the mid-level Devourer Eagle Emperors were not enough to kill the Second Brother because they were hardly doing any damage to the Second Brother. However, those Devourer Eagle Emperors pecked in the spots where the Sharp Feathers left holes. So, they were pecking and drinking the Second Brother''s blood just like how a group of vultures do. Of course, they were not vultures but more dangerous and cruel than those vultures. ''Aargh¡­stop it¡­.argh.'' At first, the pain was almost negligible for the Second Brother; however as time passed by, the repeated pecking on his body made the Second Brother irritated and at the same time, he felt the pain was unbearable. "I will speak¡­I will answer your questions. So, don''t peck me anymore¡­please¡­kill me." As time passed by, the Second Brother eventually gave in and decided to answer Alder''s questions. ¡­. A few moments back at another ce, ''Roar'' A powerful dragon roar resounded in the location as Twilight''s body transformed into a huge mountain. "Just because you are big that doesn''t mean you can defeat me." Looking at Twilight, the two old men scoffed at Twilight. ''Brother, it looks like he is bing stronger as he continues to destroy the things around us.'' ''Yeah¡­I noticed it too. Also, ording to the Second Brother, this Dragon''s Master has killed the First and Third Brother.'' Even though they maintained a brave look on their faces, the old men were anxious. They were not worried about the Dragon in front of them; instead, they were worried about the Dragon''s Master who was capable of killing their First Brother. Also, even though the Dragon in front of them had yet to activate the Divine Rule, they could tell that the Dragon had a Divine Rule. Since the Dragon was able to fight them both at the same time without using the Divine Rule, they wanted to kill the Dragon before it could activate the Divine Rule. ''Let''s use our strongest attacks and kill it in a single blow and escape from here.'' Suddenly, one of the old men said something that made the other old man look at him with a face full of shock. ''What? You don''t want the corpse of the Divine Dragon?'' The old man asked the other one with a mocking smile. ''But¡­.what about the First Brother and the other brothers who died?'' The Sixth Brother asked the Fifth Brother with a hesitant look. ''What? Don''t tell me you are nning to take revenge on behalf of the brothers who died?'' The Fifth Brother looked at the Sixth Brother for a moment before saying, ''Idiot¡­ wake up and think straight. The other party was so strong that he could kill the First Brother in less than two minutes and you want to take revenge on such a powerful cultivator?'' ''Also, as long as we have this Divine Dragon''s Corpse, we can be very strong in a short time and at that time, we don''t need the First Brother''s help in controlling the Metal Region anymore.'' The more the Fifth Brother spoke, the more excited he became as they joined their hands together to kill the Divine Dragon as soon as possible. Chapter 1830 Easy Fights Chapter 1830 Easy Fights [Divine Dark Rule] However, Twilight could guess that the two old men wanted to go all out in killing him. Hence, he didn''t waste any time in activating the Divine Dark Rule. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the power emitted by Twilight rapidly multiplied and just the aura from Twilight made both the old men anxious. "I have had enough of you. Let me kill you and resume my destruction." When Twilight destroys something, not only would he be more powerful but he would be very happy that could not be bought by normal means. He felt that he had fought the two old men for too long and wanted to finish them with the help of his Divine Rule. Therefore, Twilight didn''t waste any time as he activated the Divine Dark Rule. ''Damn it¡­why does his aura be more powerful than we expected?'' ''Don''t tell me the awakening percentage of his Divine Dark Rule is much higher than us.'' On the other hand, the two Old Men, who were excited about their future after consuming the Divine Dragon''s corpse, were shocked when they sensed the aura emitted by Twilight. Just the aura was enough for them to shiver as they looked at each other and even without speaking, they were able to see the fear in each others'' eyes. ''Let''s escape.'' This was the first andst thought that both the two old men got in their minds and without any hesitation, they decided to escape. Before Twilight could even activate his Divine Dark Rule, the two old men were having a tough time in defeating Twilight and even though they knew that Twilight had a Divine Rule, they wanted to kill him before he could activate the Divine Rule. However, not only did Twilight activate his Divine Rule but they learned that the awakening percentage of his Divine Dark Rule was much higher than him. It was so much higher than their awakening percentage of the Divine Rules that they were unable to even estimate exactly how high Twilight''s awakening percentage for his Divine Dark Rule was. Therefore, they didn''t hesitate in deciding to escape from here and as long as they were alive, they could slowly be powerful. As for revenge, just like the Second Brother, these two brotherspletely forgot about it because they knew that it waspletely out of their reach to take revenge on such a powerful enemy. "You didn''t know that I have a perfect skill for those b*stards who run away while fighting me." Unlike Alder, Twilight didn''t bother to chase after them because he knew it wouldn''t be easy to catch up to them. However, unlike Alder, Twilight had a wide range of long-range attacks. Therefore, he didn''t bother to chase after them; instead, he opened his mouth and activated his most powerful attack. [Triple Cannon st] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Twilight released three purple-coloured energy orbs from his mouth and two of them were aimed at one old man whereas the other old man was lucky enough to be chased by a single orb. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Even though Twilight didn''t have a high speed, the speed of his attacks was so fast that they caught up more than 10 kilometers in two seconds. They were not only fast but their attack power was so high that the old man who received two Twilight Energy Orb was dead before he could even fall to the ground. As for the other old man, he was severely injured and at the same time, his protective metal armour waspletely destroyed as he fell to the ground to receive even more injuries. "Now, let''s go and ask some questions to the one who survived." Actually, Twilight intentionally left the other one alive because his master needed some answers and even though he learned that Alder was getting answers from one of the old men, Twilight also wanted to get some points from Ajax. Of course, he didn''t forget about the one who died as he decided to give the corpse to one of the Devourer Eagle Emperors. Even though all beasts could consume the corpses of beasts or cultivators or beings, Twilight knew that the Devourer Eagle Emperors could maximize their benefits by consuming the corpse of this old man thanks to their Devouring Skill. As for himself, Twilight was already getting what he wanted in the Floating Ind and another reason why he was letting a powerful corpse go away like that was because he wanted to get more special rewards from Ajax that would be very beneficial to him. First, he transformed into his 16-year-old young man''s appearance and flew to the corpse of the old man before storing it in the space ring. Then, Twilight flew to the second old man who was severely injured. After the transformation, Twilight''s Divine Dark Rule was still active because his Divine Dark Rule had a 30 percent awakening and he could keep it active for 30 minutes. It''s been less than a minute since Twilight activated his Divine Dark Rule. So, even though he transformed into his human form, the Divine Dark Rule was still active. Moreover, even though the old man was severely injured, Twilight didn''t want to take any risk because a cultivator in a near-death state is more dangerous than a powerful cultivator. "So, shall we begin the interrogation?" Landing beside the old man, Twilight asked him with a slight smile on his face. "Damn you¡­b*stard. Not only did you destroy my territory but you even killed my siblings and even nned to kill me¡­Do you think I will answer any of your questions?" Even though the old man was in so much pain, he didn''t want to show it in front of Twilight. Hence, when he saw Twilight standing beside him, the old man gritted his teeth and scoffed at Twilight mustering all his strength. "It''s alright! You don''t have to say anything. I have my ways." When ites to interrogation, Twilight has a much better trickpared to Alder who was using the most basic method which was torturing the opponent. As for Twilight, it was simple but more effectivepared to Alder''s torturing the opponent. [Divine Dark Rule - Nightmare Dragon] With an evil smile on his face, Twilight activated one of the skills connected to his Divine Dark Rule and the target was none other than the dying old man. "I don''t know what type of methods you are nning to use on me; however, you won''t be getting¡­." While saying those words, the old man was nning tomit suicide because at least that way he could get a painless death and at the same time, his enemy wouldn''t get the answers he wanted. However, before he could finish his words, the old man felt that his eyelids be heavy as they closed on their own. And in the next moment, he woke up his eyes in apletely new world where he was standing in front of a huge Purple-Coloured Dragon. ''T-this¡­where am I? What happened to my injuries?'' Currently, there was not a single injury on the old man''s body; however, when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar huge dragon in front of him, the old man had a bad premonition in his heart. ''Thud'' Before he could understand what was happening, the old man saw that his Dragon''s huge front leg pped him to death. ''Swoosh'' However, in the next second, he reappeared at the same ce as he felt the pain from before. "So, let''s continue the interrogation in this world where you won''t die for real; however, as I showed earlier, you will feel the real pain¡­keke." Soon, the old man heard the huge dragon in front of him speak as it chuckled. ¡­. At another ce, "Brat, you are much more powerful than I expected and as for your Divine Rule, I never thought that you would have reached a 20 percent awakening rate for your Divine Fire Rule." The old man fighting Raweth was both shocked and impressed by Raweth. Raweth was a re-cultivated beast whose age was not more than 50 years. Not only did he reach the mid-level Emperor Realm but he also awakened a Divine Rule known for its attack power. What''s more shocking was that Raweth''s awakening percentage of his Divine me Rule has reached 20 percent. As a cultivator who lived for more than 5000 years, he knew how difficult it was to awaken the Divine Rule and as for increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule, the difficulty would be on another level. However, the re-cultivated spirit beast in front of him, who was not even 50 years old, has a Divine Rule which has a higher awakening percentage than him. So, the old man was impressed and started having thoughts of taking him as a sibling by swearing under the heavens; however, upon learning of the death of his other siblings, the old man knew that it wouldn''t be possible. "You have such a good cultivation talent; however, you are using your power to do evil things." The old man knew that he would be unable to defeat Raweth after learning about his awakening percentage for the Divine Rule. The Divine me Rule had a huge advantage over the Divine Metal Rule and there was nothing the old man could do about it and fight to death. As for the thoughts of escaping, the old man was very loyal to his siblings and didn''t think of escaping. Instead, he decided to waver Raweth with his words. Chapter 1831 Easy Fights (2) Chapter 1831 Easy Fights (2) The ones who started the destruction were Raweth and his fellow teammates and when the owners of the territory came to ask them about it, the owners were getting killed by Ajax''s summons. Anyone could tell that Ajax was the evil one whereas the ten old men were the righteous and innocent ones who were getting killed for nothing. The old man had lived for more than 5,000 years whereas Raweth had lived for less than 50 years and thus, he wanted to make sure that Raweth felt guilty about his actions. In this world, the moment a cultivator or a re-cultivated spirit beast feels guilty about something, it would form an Inner Demon seed in their hearts and as time passes by, the seed would turn into an Inner Demon that would make the cultivators stuck in their cultivation. Since the other party was too powerful and he would be dying soon, the old man could only think of this method which he was confident it would work. ''Even though he was an outstanding genius, at the end of the day, he was just too young to understand all these things like righteous and evil things.'' The old man''s hand turned into a sharp de as he silently thought in his head before saying to Raweth, "Heavens will always watch the ones who do evil things and when the timees, you will have a painful death that you wish nothing but a quick death." ''sh'' As soon as he finished his words, the old man shed his neck and his body dropped to the ground. Since it was a suicide, the soul of the old man could not leave the body that easily and the old man knew that even if he tried to escape in his soul form, it would be very difficult to escape from Raweth. If by chance, Raweth catches his soul, the old man knew that he would be tortured and in his soul form, the pain received would be multiplied. Hence, he didn''t even bother to try andpletely gave up on his face as he wanted a quick death. "Idiot." On the other hand, Raweth looked at the old man''s actions and shook his head. Thanks to his evil uncle in the past, Raweth has his share of troubles that he has gone through. So, he knew that there were no righteous or evil things in this dog-eat-dog universe. If you are strong, then you are right and if you are weak, then you are wrong and evil. Raweth knew that if the other party was stronger than him, it was Raweth, who would have died in the old man''s hands. ''Swoosh'' ''Anyway, I can let the Devourer Eagle Emperors have this corpse.'' Flying to the corpse of the old man, Raweth picked it up and stored it in his space ring just like Twilight. Twilight was saving the corpse to get more benefits from Ajax whereas Raweth was not expecting anything from Ajax; instead, Raweth wanted Ajax to get the most benefit. By letting the Devourer Eagle Emperors consume these strong cultivators'' corpses, the stronger the Devourer Eagle Emperors could be and thanks to their Devouring Skill, they would get more benefits from the corpsepared to the other spirit beasts. The stronger the Devourer Eagle Emperors are, the more powerful Ajax would be. Everything was connected and Raweth believed that the Devourer Eagle Emperors would be of great help in the future and thus, they were required to be nurtured as much as possible. Raweth had already received so many cultivation resources from Ajax and he wanted nothing more than to repay Ajax for his whole life. ¡­. In another ce, ''I lost connection with the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Brothers.'' An old man who was fighting a sparrow was having a lot of trouble dealing with Sparrow who had already activated her Divine Dark Rule. ''What the¡­I even lost connection with the Seventh Brother.'' As he was worried and shocked by the deaths of his siblings, the old man lost the connection with another one of his brothers. ''Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, it looks like other than us, everyone has died.'' Without wasting any time, the Eighth Brother transmitted his voice to thest two surviving brothers. ''Eighth Brother, I am fighting with a bunch of elemental spirits; however, I am confident in killing them.'' ''Same here. In another couple of minutes, I can kill them all. After that, I am nning to escape from here before their summoner master or any other powerful reinforcementse to their rescue.'' The Tenth Brother was an intelligent one and thus, he nned to escape from there after killing the elemental spirits. Actually, if possible, the Tenth Brother wanted to escape right away; however, the elemental spirits he was fighting with were not letting him have his way. At the same time, he didn''t forget to inform his other surviving brothers about his thoughts because of their bonding. Also, he was indirectly asking them to find a moment to escape from the fight and there was no need to hesitate in doing such a thing. ''Eighth Brother, I will also escape after killing these bunch of elemental spirits.'' As soon as the Ninth Brother heard the Tenth Brother''s thoughts, he also shared his thoughts and after that, he didn''t bother tomunicate with others. From now on, these brothers were on their own and as for whether they would survive or not, it entirely depends on their luck. ''Damn it¡­these b*stards are lucky that they went to the Elemental Spirits and why am I so unlucky?'' On the other hand, the Eighth Brother looked at the beautiful young girl in a purple gown and bitterly shook his head while cursing out his Ninth and Tenth Brothers. ''Even if I can''t escape in my physical form, I should at least escape in my soul form?'' After thinking for a moment, the Old Man came to that conclusion as he started making preparations. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, Sparrow didn''t stay idle as she released more and more purple-coloured smoke from her purple gown. ''Damn it¡­here she goes again. This purple smoke is making me dizzy and I am unable to think while inhaling it.'' The old man who was about toplete his preparations to escape in his soul form, saw that the intensity of the purple smoke was so thick that he had to speed up the preparations. However, in the middle of the process, the old man was unable to think anymore. "If you want to win the fight, you should have gone all out from the beginning." Amidst his dizziness, the old man saw the purple silhouette walk closer to him as she continued to speak, "With each second dy in your n, the closer you are to your death." With a deadly smile on her beautiful smile, Sparrow said those words and slowly ced her hand on the old man''s head. ''Explode'' With a single word from her, the old man''s head exploded like a watermelon; however, not a single drop of blood sshed on her because the purple-coloured smoke surrounding her stopped all those blood drops that were able to ssh on her. ''I am done on my side.'' After that, she informed Ajax about the death of the Old Man that she was fighting with. ''I have full trust in my summons.'' Ajax replied to her with a proud smile on his face as he observed the fight between the Ninth Old Man against Team 1 of the Elemental Spirits. All the Elemental Spirits under Ajax had been divided into two teams. Team One was led by Volcanis whereas Team Two was led by Necros. Currently, Ajax was observing Volcanis and his teammates fight against the old man who had activated his Divine Metal Rule. Even with the Divine Metal Rule, the old man was unable tond a single attack on any of the elemental spirits. In fact, the elemental spirits were taking turnsnding their powerful skills on the old man. However, since these elemental spirits were not powerful enough to break the Divine Metal Rule''s perfect body armour, they were hardly doing any damage to the old man. Even though they were receiving the boost from the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodine and even some of the elemental spirits had awakened their Elemental Ascendance, it was still not enough to make a dent in the old man''s perfect body armour. ''They can drag the fight until the old man''s Divine Rule falls into the cooldown. It looks like my Elemental Spirits were much stronger than I imagined.'' Ajax was feeling proud when he saw how good his elemental spirits were at fighting against someone who had a Divine Rule. ''If it was any other Divine Rule, I think my Elemental Spirits might have killed that Old Man already.'' Ajax didn''t have any intention to help his Elemental Spirits because they were already doing much better than he imagined. As for why he thought they could have killed the old man if he had any other Divine Rule other than the Divine Metal Rule was because the Divine Metal Rule was known for its defence¡­especially, these old men¡­they have the skill attached to the Divine Metal Rule that increases their defence by multiple folds, making their enemies very tough to break past their defence. ''I think, Volcanis and others just need some more boost in their attack power. It is time to activate my new Bloodline.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax decided to activate his new bloodline. Chapter 1832 Volcanis and His Team Chapter 1832 Volcanis and His Team [Time Halt] Halo activated his first elemental ability and stopped the time. Of course, Halo cast that skill on for the Old Man to stop him from moving. Since the old man was a very powerful cultivator with a Divine Rule that was already activated, Halo could not stop the Old Man for long. "Everyone, listen carefully. I can only stop him for the utmost 10 seconds. So, go all out and use all your attacks." Halo had already exined this thing to the remaining elemental spirits in the team even before he used his skill. Hence, as soon as the other elemental spirits saw that the old man was frozen by the Time Elemental Spirit''s skill, they didn''t waste any time in using their most powerful skills. [Fire Asteroids] Ignis was the first one to use his most powerful attack as he summoned hundreds of asteroids thatnded on the old man in less than two seconds and created a huge explosion. [Blood Corrosion] Since they didn''t have much time, the Blood Elemental Spirit didn''t waste any time as he used one of his powerful skills on the old man. They already knew that the Fire Asteroids were not enough to injure the old man, not to mention killing him with that skill waspletely out of their thoughts. Hence, after the Blood Elemental Spirits, the other damage dealers in the team also used their powerful attacks to do as much damage as possible to the old man. [Long Wind des] The Wind Elemental Spirit, Tempos has used that skill as he summoned 10 huge and sharp des and released them at the old man. [Ice Statue] [Metal Hammer] [Water st] Followed by Tempos, the Ice Elemental Neig, the Metal Elemental Spirit Septon along with the Water Elemental Spirit ris used their own attacks to injure the old man. Nevertheless, even with all these attacks, there were hardly any scratches on the Old Man''s perfect body armour. [King''s FireStorm] At thest moment just when the effect of the [Time Halt] would disappear, Volcanis took action as he used his most powerful attack because he was hoping to break the old man''s defence this time at any cost. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a huge firestorm appeared from Volcanis'' feet and the target was the old man. It only took a single second for the huge firestorm to reach the old man as it swallowed him. "Damn you, b*stards. Do you think these kinds of attacks would work on me?" Two seconds after the old man was swallowed by the huge firestorm, there was a loud voice from the firestorm. ''Shoosh'' In the next second, the huge firestorm was easily sted by the old man as he angrily looked at the elemental spirits. "I am going to kill you all and make your summoning master regret his decision to send you to destroy my territory." The old man was fired up as he quickly moved to attack the elemental spirit that was close to him. "Everyone, into the formation." On the other hand, Volcanis shouted out loud and in the next second, all elemental spirits rushed together. ''Swoosh'' All the elemental spirits knew that the moment they received an attack from the old man, it would be the end of their lives. Even though they were all connected to the [Tree of Blessing] and didn''t die for real, why would they go through the process without even trying their best? Not only would they lose their fun with the uing adventures that their summoning master has nned but they have to endure the bragging of the elemental spirits who participate in those adventures. Hence, even before Volcanis could order them, some of the elemental spirits rushed towards the ''Supporters'' of their team. In their teams, there were four elemental spirits with supporting skills and their lifeline to survive against the old man. With their lives on line, the elemental spirits were quick with their movements and packed together in no time before the old man could use his attacks. "Huh? You are packing together? Great¡­it will only make things easier for me to kill everyone in a single attack." On the other hand, the old man was not worried about the elemental spirits'' actions; instead, he was excited about it. All the elemental spirits in front of him were so weak that he could kill them in a single attack¡­at least that''s what the old man believed and wanted to give it a try. [Divine Metal Rule - Solid Metallic Punch] Once the old man had that thought in his mind, he didn''t waste any time as he directlyunched his attack on them. "Supporters, it is your time to shine." Volcanis was calm as he looked at the iing old man with his right punch aiming at them, he silently ordered the supporting elemental spirits to use their attacks. [Emperor Earth Barrier] It was it, who used his most powerful defensive skill as he cast the barrier around them. ording to the skill description, the barrier couldst for an hour unless it gets destroyed before that. [Light Screen] Followed by the Earth Barrier, Lumin, the Light Elemental Spirit activated a skill that could not only increase the defensive abilities of the Earth Barrier but it also absorbs 50 percent of the attack from the opponents. That''s not the end of it as there were another two elemental spirits left in the supporting section of the team. [Decelerate] It was Halo again who used another one of his skills to decrease the speed at which the old man came at them. By reducing the speed of the old man, the attack power of the metallic punch would be reduced by at least 20 percent. ''Swoosh'' As expected, the old man''s speed decreased by 25 percent and using that as an opportunity thest member of the supporting section showed off her skill. [Life Draining Vines] ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' Spirius went all out in using her skills because she was feeling quite useless in this current fight and she was frustrated at herself for not being useful. Hence, she summoned nearly 100 dark green-coloured vines that were covered in sharp thorns and the moment they appeared they wrapped around the old man. Thanks to Halo''s skill, the old man''s speed decreased by around 25 percent and now, with the appearance of nearly 100 vines, the old man''s speed decreased further. That''s not it. These vines were sucking the life essence from the old man even though he waspletely covered in a metallic armour. Nevertheless, for the old man, the amount of Life Essence that was being sucked by the Life Draining Vines was almost negligible so he didn''t bother to cut them. And, he was fully intent on breaking the [Earth Armour] and the [Light Screen] in front of him. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the old man reached the barrier and his [Solid Metallic Punch]nded perfectly on the Earth Barrier that was being backed by the [Light Screen]. ''Boom'' What happened next was a huge explosion that sted off the old man into the distance because of the effect of the [Light Screen] In short, the old man received 50 percent of his own attack power which was quite powerful enough to st him into the distance. ''Kacha'' There was a crack on his metallic armour and other than that, the old man waspletely alright as he stood up in the next moment. ''How is this possible? My attack¡­it didn''t destroy their barrier?'' However, the old man had a shocked look as he looked at the bunch of elemental spirits that worked together to block his attack. He was still unable to believe that he was unable to break their barrier and what''s more, he was sted off into the distance while attacking them. ''These¡­ a bunch of elemental spirits must be trained very much and they work in a proper formation.'' Individually, these elemental spirits don''t stand a chance against him; however, right now, he is unable to do anything to them as they are working together. ''Should I just escape from here?'' Since the elemental spirits were hiding in the shell and he was unable to injure or kill them, the old man thought of escaping from there. He knew that his other brothers were already killed and if the summoning master of these elemental spirits came here, he would also join the same fate as his dead brothers. Hence, he thought of escaping from here and letting the elemental spirits live as there was nothing he could do to them. ''Kacha'' Just as the old man was thinking of escaping, he heard the cracking sound of the barrier that the elemental spirits were using to protect themselves from him. ''So, they are not as strong as I imagined. I can still destroy the barrier with one or two punches.'' In the next second, the old man removed the thoughts of escaping from there without killing the elemental spirits. If he left without killing them, the old man would develop inner demons in the future because he always looked down on the elemental spirits and it was a fact that the elemental spirits were weak. Thanks to his enhanced senses, the old man was able to hear and see the crack on the barrier and without wasting any time, he started working on his n to destroy the barrier. [Divine Metal Rule - Solid Metallic Kick] [Divine Metal Rule - Solid Metallic Collision] The old man used a kick for the second time and for the third time, he used a full-body collision into the barrier and sessfully destroyed the barrier. "Now, let''s see how you are going to protect yourself now." Chapter 1833 Necros and His Team Chapter 1833 Necros and His Team "Now, let''s see how you are going to protect yourself now." Since there was nothing that could protect the elemental spirits now, the old man decided to kill them before leaving this ce. The old man knew that since his elders'' brothers were unable to survive against the summoning master of these elemental spirits, he would not stand a chance against such a person. Before that, killing the elemental spirits was a must for him because he wanted to avoid the birth of the inner demons in his heart. ... A few moments back at another ce, ''Fog Storm'' The Ice elemental spirit used one of his skills to block the vision of the old man. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a huge Fog Storm appeared that spread throughout the entire location. Even though it looked like normal Fog, in fact, it was not and it was enough to temporarily block the old man''s vision. ''Poison Screen'' At the same time, Bane, the Poison Elemental Spirit slowly released the poison into the fog. Even though it was not enough to poison the old man to death, Bane believed that it would not only blur the vision of the old man but it would also slow him down. "Do you think these kinds of puny tricks will work against me?" As a pinnacle-level emperor realm cultivator, the old man knew that there was poison in the fog around him; however, he was calm as he scoffed at the elemental spirits'' actions. "Do you want to see how I clear this poison-mixed fog?" Even though the poison-mixed fog wouldn''t kill the old man, he didn''t want to weaken himself with the puny tricks of the elemental spirits because he needed strength to settle in a new ce after leaving here. [Divine Metal Rule - Bullet Rain] ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, the old man used one of the skills under hisDivine Metal Ruleand in the next second, dozens of sharp metal bullets came out of his metallic armour as they travelled at the elemental spirits at incredible speed. Even though the ten brothers had awakened the same Divine Rule which was Divine Metal Rule, the skills and effects under their Divine Metal Rules varied ordingly. A couple of them have skills rted to regeneration and another one has skills rted to purebat whereas the remaining ones have long-range skills. For different cultivators, there were different skills and effects under the same Divine Rule. "Prophis, use your skill now." Among the two elemental spirit teams under Ajax, one was led by Volcanis whereas the other one was led by the cunning Necros. As soon as he saw the other party was using one of the deadliest attacks, Necros revealed a cunning smile on his semi-humane face as he ordered Prophis, the space elemental spirit. [ck Hole - Absorption] Prophis had already waiting for this moment for a while and when he saw the opportunity hade and even got permission from his team leader, he didn''t waste any time as he used one of his skills. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a huge ck hole appeared in front of all the elemental spirits which absorbed all the Metal Bullets released by the old man. ''What the¡­what kind of skill is that¡­wait a second¡­was there a space elemental spirit in that group of elemental spirits?'' For a moment, the old man was shocked to see that there was a space elemental spirit and at the same time, he was even more shocked to see the powerful skill that absorbed all the metal bullets he released. It was Necros''s idea to hide Prophis because he wanted to surprise the old man with Prophis'' special attacks and for that, Necros waited for the old man to use one of his powerful attacks. ''It looks like I should not look down on them.'' Seeing that there was a Space Elemental Spirit in that group of elemental spirits, the old man decided to be serious and careful at the same time. Space Elemental Spirits were rare and known to have unique abilities and the old man was worried that his moment of carelessness might lead to his death. [ck Hole - Absorption] ''Swoosh'' However, before he could get serious, the old man saw that the huge ck hole in front of the Elemental Spirits disappeared and at the same time, another huge ck hole of the same size appeared in the same ce as the previous one. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, all the metal bullets that were absorbed by the previous ck hole were released by this newly formed ck hole and their target was none other than the old man. ''What the¡­'' ''ng'' ''ng'' ''Puchi'' ''ng'' The old man was already expecting the space elemental spirit to use some unique skills; however, he didn''t expect that it could use his own attacks back at him. Before the old man could do anything, the iing metal bullets reached him as they collided with his metallic armour. Thanks to that metallic armour, almost all of the metallic bullets were deflected; however, there were two or three metallic bullets that were pierced through the metallic armour, giving a huge shock to the old man. "How is this possible? How is this possible?" The old man was still unable to believe that he was injured by the attacks of an elemental spirit. The thing is, all the old men hated the elemental spirits because they were unable to form contracts with the elemental spirits and be summoners. Even though they looked like humans, these old men were not humans as they belonged to an entirely different race from humans. As for bing the summoners, it was reserved only to the humans and not anyone could be the summoners¡­not even the re-cultivated spirit beasts just because they finally have a human form. Of course, the other races'' cultivators could also be summoners; however, they need external resources that could let them form a contract with an elemental spirit once or twice. To satisfy their ego, these old men always believed that having the elemental spirits was useless as they would only slow down the cultivation of the summoners. That was also the reason why these two old men were intent on killing the elemental spirits despite knowing the fact that their summoning master was powerful enough to kill them. This was also the reason why the old man was shocked and was unable to digest the fact that there were two holes in his metallic armour and the reason for that was an Elemental Spirit. ''Everyone, it is time for you to go all out and deal as much damage as possible.'' Seeing that the old man was still in shock, Necros felt that it was the perfect opportunity for his team to go all out. Hence, he transmitted his voice to everyone to use their most powerful attacks to deal as much damage as possible. [Dark Energy Vines] It was Dabrus, who summoned more than 100 dark vines that wrapped around the old man. [Posionous Flowers Bloom] Floris, the Flower-type elemental spirit activated her skill and in the next second, all these Dark Vines summoned by Dabrus had purple-coloured flowers grow on them as they bloomed and released more and more poison. [Poison Scythe] [Dark Daggers] Bane and Zen used their weapons at once as they released them at the old man who was restrained by the vines. Of course, if the old man wanted to move, he could easily free himself; however, the fact that the space elemental spirit dealt damage to his armour dealt a huge blow to his heart, making him unable to think much. Whereas Necros and the other elemental spirits were making use of that moment to kill the old man. [Dimensional Shackles] [Dimensional de] Even though Prophis was in the supporter''s section of the team, he also had a powerful skill that could deal a huge amount of damage to his opponents. Before that, he summoned the Dimensional Shackles that added anotheryer of restraint on the old man. ''Kacha'' ''Kacha'' ''ng'' The Poison Scythe, Dark Daggers and the Dimensional de, all of these weaponsnded on the old man at once in different ces, leaving a small crack on the metallic armour. "This is our time to kill him. The metallic armour has broken down." Even though it was not brokenpletely, there were enough cracks on it and Necros was quite confident that it was enough for them to kill the old man. Hence, without wasting any time, he ordered, "Cerauno and Novis, get ready to use your skillbo after I finish my attacks." As soon as he finished his orders, Necros didn''t waste any time as he used the skill that he was saving for this particr moment. "Undead Soul Soldiers, it is time to make yourself useful." With a single order from Necros, the Undead Soul Soldiers flew out of the Soul Grimoire and rushed towards the old man. ''Explode'' In the next second, all ten Undead Soul Soldiers exploded the moment they reached the old man and with each explosion, the cracks on the metallic armour on the old man''s body increased. After ten explosions, there were only a few portions of the metallic armour left on the old man''s body and it was what Necros was waiting for. [Water st] [Lightning Weapons - Formation] [Lightning Weapons - Release] Since they had already received Necros'' orders, Novis and Cerauno didn''t waste any time as they used theirbo skills with a few seconds of gap between each other. Chapter 1834 End of Old Brothers Chapter 1834 End of Old Brothers ''Ssh'' The water st from Novis has made the old man wet and what followed next was hundreds of different weapons made up of lightning energy pierced through the body of the old man. ''Boom'' There were multiple explosions whenever a lightning weapon pierced through the old man''s body. The old man was unable to do anything as his mind was still unable to process and even if it was able to process what was happening, there was nothing he could do about it. It was because the attacks from the elemental spirits were lined up perfectly that the old man wouldn''t be able to stop them even if he wanted to. ¡­. ''Ding, The Necros and his team have sessfully killed the old man (Tenth Brother). In the distance, Ajax was observing the fight between the Ninth Brother and Volcanis'' team and was surprised to receive the system notification. ''What? Necros and his team were able to kill the old man on their own with just the boost from the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline?'' Even though Ajax believed that Necros''s team was strong, he didn''t think that they could kill a cultivator with a Divine Rule on their own. ''It looks like Necros used his cunning method to take down the old man.'' That''s the only thing that Ajax could tell himself to believe that Necros and his team were able to kill the old man. ''It looks like I don''t have to use my new bloodline.'' Actually, when Ajax saw that Volcanis and his team of elemental spirits were falling short of their strength in killing their opponent, Ajax wanted to help them with his new bloodline. The newest bloodline that Ajax had never used since he awakened it from the [Blessed Refining Cultivation Technique], Ajax thought he could finally use it to help his two teams of elemental spirits kill their opponents. The Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline could increase the battle prowess of all his summons, the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts by five times for an entire hour. Whereas this new bloodline, the Ancient Summoning God''s Bloodline could increase the battle prowess of his Elemental Spirits by 10 times for five minutes. Even though the duration was less and it could only be used for the elemental spirits, the bloodline had other effects along with the 10 times boost in the battle prowess of the elemental spirits to make up for the effects of the Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline. Anyway, since one of the elemental spirit teams was able to kill their opponent, Ajax felt it was too wasteful to use his new bloodline now. Moreover, Ajax would be fighting more and more powerful opponents¡­especially the Ruler of the Fire Region, the Golden-Winged Middle-Aged Man. Hence, he thought to have that new bloodline as a backup because when he activated that bloodline, Ajax could use any skill that his elemental spirit had without any restrictions. ording to Ajax, it was a useful effect that he could make good use of against the powerful opponents. "Everyone, you can give a hand in taking care of that opponent." Without wasting any time, Ajax ordered his summons. The four contracted spirit beast teams had long arrived at the location where Volcanis and his team were fighting the old man; however, Ajax asked them to hide for a while and let Volcanis and his team take care of the old man. However, Volcanis and his team were stillcking the bit of strength to take care of the old man who was keen on killing them. Hence, he permitted Twilight, Raweth and other team leaders who were hiding their presence from the old man. ¡­ "Without the barrier, you a bunch of elemental spirits are nothing in front of me." On the other hand, the old man haspletely forgotten to check out his surroundings because he saw a perfect opportunity to kill the elemental spirits. So, he didn''t even notice that he was currently surrounded by some powerful contracted spirit beasts that had already received orders from their master to kill him. Currently, he was too excited about the destruction of the barrier that was protecting the elemental spirits. [Divine Metal Rule - Metallic Kick] Without wasting any time, the old man rushed towards Volcanis and others with his legs that were covered in shining metal. [Twilight Cannon] [Mighty Fire st] [Mega Wind Gust] [Nether Ice Arrow] Before the old man could reach Volcanis and his team of elemental spirits, the four contracted spirit beast team leaders used their long-range attacks at the old man who was too busy attacking Volcanis and his team. ''What the¡­'' Even though the old man was too busy with his attack, he was still a powerful cultivator who awakened a Divine Rule. So, he was able to sense the iing attacks on him. However, he was unable to cancel his skill and change his momentum because of his speed. ''Damn it¡­let''s destroy one of the attacks.'' Nevertheless, the old man tried to slow down a little and destroy one of the attacks that wasing at him. [Metallic Kick] He changed the direction of his attack as he kicked that iing fire ck which he felt easy to deflect. What''s more, he was even sessful in doing so. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' However, he was not lucky with the other three attacks¡­especially, the [Mega Wind Gust] that was released by the Devourer Eagle Emperor. What''s more, all these contracted spirit beasts still have their Divine Rules activated. So, all these attacks were deadly to the Old Man. In the end, after receiving the three attacks, the old man didn''t even have a chance to stand up as he was instantly killed in mid-air. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beasts have sessfully killed the old man [Ninth Brother]. On the other hand, Ajax received the system notification, making him nod his head in satisfaction. ''System, you have collected the basic information from the contracted spirit beasts, right?'' After taking care of all the old men, Ajax asked the system about it. The main goal of this Mission: Wrecking Havoc was to collect information about the other regions in the Floating Ind and their rulers along with the routes and directions to enter the other regions. Earlier, Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts had interrogated the old men they fought with and got the basic information. Whatever the information his contracted spirit beasts learn, the system could inform him and even if it doesn''t work, he could just ask the contracted spirit beasts directly. Nevertheless, Ajax wanted to save time and wanted to get information about the regions, and rulers of the Floating Ind. "The remaining corpses of the old men will be consumed by the Devourer Eagle Emperors who were yet to consume the corpse. Except for one Devourer Eagle Emperor, everyone will get one. As for that remaining Devourer Eagle Emperor, I will make up for you by giving another corpse in the future." Of course, Ajax didn''t forget about the corpses of the old men as he ordered the Devourer Eagle Emperors to consume them. There were a total of 10 corpses of the old men; however, there were a total of 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors. Hence, one Devourer Eagle Emperor has to be on an empty stomach. Nevertheless, Ajax assured the Devourer Eagle Emperor with another high-level corpse until then, all he had to do was to increase his cultivation to the high-level Emperor Realm. Even though it was the same for all the Devourer Eagle Emperors except for Alder who was already a Peak Emperor Realm Beast, Ajax stressed the fact that the Devourer Eagle Emperor with a high-level Emperor Realm cultivation could awaken the Divine Devour Rule. Therefore, thest Devourer Eagle Emperor was looking forward to that and he knew that it wouldn''t be too long and before that, he had to increase his cultivation to the high-level Emperor Realm. "As for everyone, you can take some rest before he ns our future actions." At the same time, Ajax ordered his other contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits to take some rest. It was because he needed some time to digest the information about the Floating Ind and ording to the information, Ajax decided to n his future actions. ''System, show the information that was collected by the contracted spirit beasts.'' Soon, Ajax asked the system to give out all the information it had collected about the Floating Ind. ¡­.. At the same time in the different regions of the Floating Ind. [An outsider has sessfully killed all the region of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind] There was some voice in the heads of the different rulers of the Floating Ind, making thempletely shocked as they woke up from their cultivation. Since all these rulers were cultivators with the Divine Rules, they had to spend a lot of time in increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule and the fastest way to do that was by cultivating. Hence, most of the time, they would be in a deep seclusion and it was also for the same reason that the ten old men that Ajax killed earlier, came two days after he started his Mission: Wrecking Havoc. "How is that possible?" "What the hell just happened? Are outsiders trying to take control over the Floating Ind?" "How can the rulers of the Floating Ind be killed by the outsiders?" As the rulers of the different regions woke up from their cultivation, their heads were filled with many questions as they didn''t know what to do. Chapter 1835 Cunning Plan of the Rulers Chapter 1835 Cunning n of the Rulers All these rulers of the Floating Ind had received the message from the spirit of the Floating Ind that the Metal Region''s 10 rulers were killed by an outsider. An outsider¡­as the name suggests is someone who doesn''t belong to the Floating Ind and when the rulers heard that it was an outsider that killed the 10 rulers, the remaining rulers of the Floating Ind were shocked. ''How can an outsider kill a ruler of the Floating Ind?'' This was the question in the heads of all the rulers in the Floating Ind. The reason why everyone was shocked at the fact was because as the rulers of the Floating Ind, they knew all the rules of the Floating Ind. ording to the outside timeline, only one outsider from each Greater Elemental World was permitted to enter the Floating Ind every month. Moreover, these outsiders were allowed to stay in the Floating Ind for seven days which was equivalent to seven years ording to the Floating Ind''s timeline. These are some basic rules of the Floating Ind and another such basic rule was that outsiders with a cultivation of only low-level emperor realms were allowed to enter. As for the others, they were directly rejected. Also, a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator was not allowed to enter the Floating Ind twice from the same Greater Elemental World. With such rules and restrictions, the rulers of the other regions of the Floating Ind were unable to digest the fact that the rulers of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind had died. What''s more, it was not just one or two rulers but all the rulers of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind that were killed by this so-called outsider. [Once this outsider takes the ruler core of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind, he will no longer be an outsider and officially bes a ruler of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind] [As for what kinds of things he could do after bing an official ruler, all the rulers of the Floating Ind knew that, right?] The spirit of the Floating Ind seemed to have fun while transmitting its thoughts to the remaining rulers of the Floating Ind. ''Damn it¡­since he was able to kill the 10 rulers of the Metal Region, he must be a powerful cultivator.'' ''However, I am still unable to understand how a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator was able to kill them all?'' ''Even though it was a rare thing for the low-level Emperor Realm Cultivators to have the Divine Rule, their awakening percentage would be less than 20 percent. So, there is no way he could have killed all of them with a Divine Rule that has only 20 percent awakening.'' . . . All the rulers started bing a little worried because of this so-called outsider who was capable of killing the 10 brothers of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind. Even though these 10 old brothers of the Metal Region were weaker than them, these rulers knew that those old brothers could kill them if they worked together. Hence, despite knowing the fact that the so-called outsider only has the cultivation of the low-level Emperor Realm, an unknown fear had developed in their hearts. As for the ''Ruler Core'' that the spirit of the Floating Ind spoke about was a treasure that lets the cultivator officially be the Ruler of a particr region in the Floating Ind. From its words, there seemed to be various benefits for the Rulers that were officially recognized by the spirit of the Floating Ind and as for what those benefits are, the Rulers already knew about them because they were already enjoying such benefits. ''Spirit, can''t you share more details about this outsider?'' Suddenly, one of the rulers asked the spirit of the Floating Ind for information about the outsider. [Did you forget that the information about the outsiders won''t be revealed to the rulers at any cost?] ''But, he is not an outsider anymore, right?'' The same ruler retorted with a question, waiting for a reply from the spirit of the Floating Ind. [Earth Ruler, have I announced the birth of a new official ruler yet? Once that outsider uses the Ruler Core and bes a Ruler of the Metal Region, I will definitely share the details of that new ruler with everyone] [Also, don''t forget that if that new ruler asks for your details, I will be sharing your details too which was the basic benefit that every ruler of my Floating Ind should have] [Of course, I will be sharing the basic information of the rulers and that doesn''t include the secret trump cards. So, don''t worry about revealing your secret trump cards and at the same time, you won''t know the secret trump cards of the new ruler¡­hehe] The monotonous voice of the spirit of the Floating Ind was resounded in the heads of all the rulers of the Floating Ind. ''Hm'' All the rulers nodded their heads in understanding as they were not new to these rules of the Floating Ind''s spirit. ''Everyone, I think these outsiders might have used all these trump cards in killing those 10 metal brothers. Shall we use this chance to challenge him and kill him?'' Suddenly, one of the rulers transmitted his thoughts to the other rulers of the Floating Ind. ''I am very much interested in that idea.'' ''Yeah¡­let''s work together to defeat him and share the Metal Region for ourselves.'' ''However, who will issue a challenge to him first? Even though it was a little dangerous for the first challenge, he would get more of the Metal Region.'' Even though the rulers of different regions were not on good terms and wanted to kill one another to get the other regions under their control, they worked together on some asions. Of course, even when they work together, each of these rulers who were working together, works only for their benefits. Hence, when one of the rulers suggested that they should challenge the new ruler of the Metal Region, the other rulers became interested and started discussing more about it. Chapter 1836 Earth Rulers Plan Chapter 1836 Earth Ruler''s n ording to the rules of the Floating Ind for its rulers, they could challenge one another and the winner would get the loser''s entire region if he could manage to kill him in the duel. If the loser didn''t die and survives the duel somehow, he would lose half of his territory and at the same time, he would lose one of his treasured things to the winner. As far as the rulers believed that since the outsider would have the cultivation of a low-level Emperor Realm, he must have used all his trump cards in killing the ten old rulers of the Metal Region. Nevertheless, these rulers have lived for too long and they knew that their moment of carelessness might cost them heavily. Therefore, they decided to work together to take care of the new ruler and by defeating that ruler, the remaining rulers could share the Metal Region and the resources in it equally¡­except for the ruler who was nning to challenge the new ruler for the first time. Of course, the ruler who will be challenging the new ruler for the first time won''t be an official challenge because in case he loses the battle in the official challenge, he would lose his own region to the other party. At that time, the other rulers would attack that new ruler to im both the Metal Region and his region through that new ruler. ''There is no need for equal sharing¡­I will challenge him fair and squarely. If I win, I will take over the Metal Region.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Suddenly, one of the rulers didn''t want to go through all theseplex processes where one had to test the battle prowess of the new ruler andter on, the other rulers had to share the Metal Region. ''Earth Ruler, aren''t you worried that we will gang up on you after your duel with that new ruler?'' There was a quick mocking reply that was transmitted to the heads of the other rulers. Currently, all the rulers of the Floating Ind were connected with the help of the Spirit of the Floating Ind and they could share their thoughts and ideas. Even though it was a reply to the Earth Ruler, the one who replied wanted the other rulers to hear it because to do whatever he said, he would need the help of the other rulers. If the Earth Ruler challenges the new ruler of the Metal Region and wins the duels, he would get the Metal Region and those who defeat him would get both the Earth Region and the Metal Region. If the remaining rulers work together, and since the Earth Ruler would be weakened a little after the duel, their chances of taking him down would be much higher. Thus, the ruler who replied to the Earth Ruler asked him whether he was ready for that thing. ''Haha¡­I am more than happy for you to try it. As you know, I will be invincible in my region and if you want to defeat me, you have to issue the official challenge; however, even that won''t be easy because whoever issues the first challenge to me, I can easily kill him with my secret trump card and even after that, if someone challenges me, I can take him down with me¡­Haha.'' However, the Earth Ruler chuckled at that reply as he asked the other rulers to try their cheap little try on him as he would be more than happy to entertain them. ''Crazy b*stard.'' Everyone cursed the Earth Ruler as they decided to wait and see for a perfect opportunity to take him down. It was because they knew that the Earth Ruler was powerful enough to back his words and no one wanted to risk their lives in fighting against such a crazy cultivator. Nevertheless, they decided to wait and see what the Earth Ruler was nning to do with the new ruler of the Metal Region. ''Outsider, go and use the Ruler Core as soon as possible to be an official ruler of the Metal Region.'' As for the Earth Ruler, he no longer bothered to go back to his seclusion as he was waiting for the official announcement of the new ruler of the Metal Region because he was nning to issue a challenge as soon as he got that announcement. The Earth Ruler was confident in his strength and ording to his estimates, the outsider who killed the ten old brothers must have already used most of his trump cards with such a low cultivation of low-level Emperor Realm, the Earth Ruler believed the new ruler wouldn''t stand a chance. ''Even if I have to drag the fight, I should make sure not to use any of my trump cards on him¡­hehe.'' The Earth Ruler knows that he could easily win the fight against the new ruler if he uses his trump cards; however, if the other rulers risk and issue a challenge to him, then he would be in a lot of trouble. ording to the rules for the Rulers, the winner of the duel won''t get any break and if the other rulers issue a challenge to him, he should ept it and fight in that duel. To avoid any mishaps, the Earth Ruler wanted to not use any of his trump cards against the new ruler of the Metal Region. So that he could be ready for any sudden duels issued from the other rulers. Most of the rulers, despite knowing that they are more powerful than the other rulers, can''t issue a challenge just like that because even if they win the duel, the other rulers won''t sit idle as they issue the challenge and defeat him before taking over their regions. It is how the Floating Ind works. Even though the rulers wanted the other rulers'' regions, they wouldn''t go out of their way to issue the challenge as the other rulers were waiting like predators that would jump at him the moment they were careless. ¡­. Chapter 1837 Metallic Ruler Core Chapter 1837 Metallic Ruler Core ''System, show me the information about Floating Ind.'' As the rulers of the various regions of the Floating Ind were having a discussion and even concluded it, Ajax was waiting to learn about the Floating Ind. As soon as he asked, the system started exining all the information that his Contracted Spirit Beasts had gotten from the Old Men they killed. ''Ding, The Floating Ind is divided into Six Regions. They are: 1) The Fire Region is controlled by the Golden Winged Raven Emperor, Aveline. 2) The Water Region and its ruler is the Veiled Vampire Emperor, Maximus. 3) The Earth Region is ruled by the Abyssal Drake Lord, Oberon. 4) The Wind Region is managed by three Ghost Nagas, Jareth, Jocasta and Jovian. 5) The Metal Region was ruled by the Ten Old Siblings and currently, it has no ruler and one can be the Ruler of the Metal Region by using the Ruler Core. 6) Thest and final region of the Floating Ind was the center part of the Ind which was called the Core Region. ''Ding, ording to the old men, no one, even the rulers of the other regions was allowed to enter the Core Region. If they enter it, their status as the Ruler of the Floating Ind will be revoked before getting kicked out of the Floating Ind. ''Oh. So, there is another region in the Floating Ind.'' Looking at the six regions in front of him, Ajax was surprised to see an additional region in the list. It was because, since there were Five Greater Elemental Worlds connected to the Floating Ind, Ajax thought there would be only five regions. Surprisingly, there was another region where no ruler or any other beings were allowed to enter. ''I wonder what kind of secrets the Core Region of the Floating Ind is hiding that the Floating Ind''s spirit is not letting anyone enter that particr region.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax already learned about the Spirit of the Floating Ind which couldmunicate with the Rulers of the different regions of the Floating Ind and after learning about how it was not letting anyone enter the Core Region, Ajax became even more interested in that Core Region. ''However, let''s not break the rules and get kicked out of the Floating Ind.'' Since Ajax had many goals to fulfil in the Floating Ind, he knew he could not afford to get kicked out of the Floating Ind anytime soon. It was in human nature that was filled with curiosity towards the things that seem mysterious and Ajax, as a human, naturally had such curiosity towards the Core Region of the Floating Ind. Nevertheless, when he thought about the goals he had toplete in the Floating Ind, Ajax curbed his curiosity as he could not take any risk of getting kicked out of the Floating Ind. ''Anyway, ording to those old men, I can be the Ruler of the Metal Region by using the Ruler Core and I will get more benefits for being a Ruler.'' Soon, Ajax thought about the Ruler Core and flew in the direction where the Ruler Core was kept by the old brothers. ''Swoosh'' After flying for a few dozen of kilometers, Ajax saw a huge metallic building that was guarded by some metal-type creatures like Metal Armoured Rhinos, Pandas and many more. Even though each one of those creatures has the strength of high-level Spirit Beasts, they didn''t awaken any Divine Rules and were easily taken care of by Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts. In no time, the ce turned peaceful as Ajax flew into the Metal Pce and in the main hall of the building, Ajax saw a shining orb hovering over the main hall. ''That might be the so-called Ruler Core that was mentioned by the old man.'' Without any exnation, Ajax could tell that the shining orb was none other than the Ruler Core and after checking out his surroundings, Ajax picked it. He had already learned from the system that there were no dangers surrounding the Ruler and the host could pick it without any hesitation. ''Ding, Item Name: Metallic Ruler Core (Ownerless). Grade: No Grade. Use: Upon dropping the blood, the cultivator or the re-cultivated spirit beast could be the Ruler of the Metal Region. More information: Upon bing the owner of the Metalic Ruler Core, an item that was created by the Spirit of the Floating Ind, the new owner of the Ruler Core couldmunicate with the Spirit of the Floating Ind and alsomunicate with the other rulers of the Floating Ind. ''So, it only needs a single drop of my blood.'' At first, Ajax wanted to let one of his contracted spirit beasts be the ruler of the Metal Region; however, after thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to be the ruler of the Metal Region himself. ''Even though the old man said there were benefits to being the ruler of the regions in the Floating Ind, I am very sure that there were equivalent risks associated with it. Let''s not put others in such unknown risks as I can deal with it myself.'' While fighting the old men, Ajax only killed two old men whereas the remaining were all killed by his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. However, Ajax believed that even without the help of his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits, he could have killed those 10 old brothers if he had gone all out. Since he didn''t get any information about the rulers of the other regions of the Floating Ind other than their name and race, Ajax didn''t want his contracted spirit beast to suffer. ''Wait a second¡­since ten old brothers were the rulers of the Metal Region, can I also appoint multiple contracted spirit beasts as the rulers of the Metal Region?'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something that made him change his thoughts of putting his contracted spirit beasts at risk. ''Ding, ording to the Second Brother, as long as the cultivators or the spirit beasts belong to the same species, they would be considered as one entity and could be the rulers of a particr region. **** Chapter 1838 New Rulers of the Metal Region Chapter 1838 New Rulers of the Metal Region ''Ding, Also, the one who dropped the blood first should allow the second one to drop the blood to share the ownership of his territory. Along with the previous system notification, Ajax received another notification exining another restriction for having multiple rulers for a region. N?v(el)B\\jnn However, in Ajax''s eyes, it was not a restriction because as long as he orders, none of his contracted spirit beasts could go against it. ''If it is like that, then I could make the 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors be the rulers of the Metal Region.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax hade to that conclusion as he looked at Alder and the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors. Ajax wanted to make sure there would be multiple rulers for the Metal Region to help each other and the best choice for that would be the Devourer Eagle Emperors because they all belong to the same race and species. ''...'' As for Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors, they were surprised for a moment before nodding their heads excitedly. Because, they knew that bing the rulers of the Metal Region wouldn''t be a bad thing and at the same time, they might gain some additional benefits. "Are you ready to be the Rulers of the Metal Region?" Of course, Ajax didn''t forget to ask the 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors about bing the rulers of the Metal Region. "We are ready, Master." Alder was the first one to nod his head and the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors followed his actions with excited looks in their eyes. "Then, drop your blood on it." Soon, Alder and the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors dropped a single drop of their blood on the Metallic Ruler Core. Every time a drop of blood spilt on the Ruler Core, it would momentarily shine before disappearing. What happened next was, that Alder and the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors officially became the rulers of the Metal Region. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast Alder for bing the official ruler of the Metal Region and receiving the blessing of the spirit of the Floating Ind. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the Divine Devour Rule has increased by five percent and reached 20 percent. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast Cale for bing the official ruler of the Metal Region and receiving the blessing of the spirit of the Floating Ind. ''Ding, Cale has sessfully converted his Bestial Emperor''s Soul into Divine Rule and awakened the Divine Devour Rule with one percent of awakening. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host''s contracted spirit beast Cade for bing the official ruler of the Metal Region and receiving the blessing of the spirit of the Floating Ind. ''Ding, Cale has sessfully converted his Bestial Emperor''s Soul into Divine Rule and awakened the Divine Devour Rule with one percent of awakening. . . . . On the other hand, Ajax was receiving the system notifications regarding his contracted spirit beasts bing the rulers of the Floating Ind and even received the blessing of the spirit of the Floating Ind. It was not just Alder who received the blessing of the spirit of the Floating Ind but all the remaining 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors. Alder was able to get an increment of five percent of awakening for his Divine Devour Rule whereas the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors were able to finally cross theirst step of awakening the Divine Devour Rule. ''Even though I could have made these Devourer Eagle Emperors awaken a Divine Devour Rule in the future, it was not bad for them to awaken their Divine Devour Rules so soon.'' Recently, Ajax learned that the Devourer Eagle Emperors could awaken the Divine Devour Rule as long as they consumed the cultivators who awakened the Divine Rules. However, it would have taken quite some time for Ajax to do that because even if he was able to get the corpse of the cultivators with the Divine Rules, the Devourer Eagle Emperors were not ready to awaken the Divine Devour Rules yet. It was because they had to reach the High-level Emperor Realm and all these 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors were still mid-level Emperor Realm beasts and it would take quite some time for them to be the High-level Emperor Realm Beasts. ''Since they were able to awaken their Divine Devour Rules, they could use it to rapidly burn all the Energy Orbs in their stomachs just like Alder and increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules.'' Ajax became excited when he thought about it as he ordered the ten Devourer Eagle Emperors who awakened the Divine Devour Rules to use it to increase its own awakening percent. "Yes, Master." As soon as they received the order, the Devourer Eagle Emperors were excited as they excitedly nodded their heads. [Divine Devour Rule - Lightning Devour] In the next second, they activated their Divine Devour Rule and even used the special skill attached to the Divine Rule. Even though the effects and the skills under the Divine Rules change from one being to another, all these Devourer Eagle Emperors have the same skill that could be used to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Devour Rule. Of course, there was no surprise in it because the main purpose of the Divine Devour Rule was to use the Devouring to increase the strength and increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule was the easiest way to increase the strength of the cultivator. Thus, all these Devourer Eagle Emperors have the same skills as Alder. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors started shining with the bright light as the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules started increasing slowly but steadily. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the Divine Devour Rules of the 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors has reached 17 percent. Compared to Alder, these Devourer Eagle Emperors were able to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules a little higher and it was because Alder used the corpse of the old man to awaken the Divine Devour Rule; however, these Devourer Eagle Emperors used the Energy Orb from that corpse to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. Chapter 1839 Rules of the Duel Chapter 1839 Rules of the Duel In short, afterpletely absorbing the Energy Orbs in their bodies, each one of these Devourer Eagle Emperors became a powerhouse that was enough to destroy a low-level Greater World. If they work together, they might even go against the Leaders of the Top Five Sects in the human region of the universe. Of course, only if they fight the Leaders of the Top Five Sects individually and if those Leaders work together, they could kill these 11 Devourer Eagle Emperors with little to no effort. Nevertheless, Ajax won''t let them fight the leaders of the Top Five Sects yet¡­for that, Ajax believes there is still some time. ''There are still Seven Years left in the Floating Ind and there is also the Celestial Dawn Realm and after them, there is the Dark Regio adventures. After all these events, I believe that each one of these Devourer Eagle Emperors could go against the Leaders of the Five Sects of the Human Race on their own.'' Even though Ajax knew that he could make all his contracted spirit beasts very powerful in the future, he was sure about one thing and that was the Devourer Eagle Emperors were going to be one of the most powerful squads under him that could turn the entire universe upside down. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Master, we received a voice transmission from the spirit of the Floating Ind that one of the rulers is officially challenging us." Suddenly, Alder informed Ajax as he woke Ajax from his thoughts. "Huh? Official Challenge?" Ajax remembers that the system mentions something about the challenges between the Rulers; however, he didn''t expect that Alder and other Devourer Eagle Emperors would be challenged as soon as they became the rulers of the Metal Region. ''It looks like all the rulers of the Floating Ind might know about the death of the Metal Region.'' Ajax remained calm as he tried to understand the current situation. "Master, ording to the spirit of the Floating Ind, we have to ept the challenge and can''t reject it." Seeing that Ajax was silent, Alder informed Ajax about another thing that made Ajax raise his eyebrows. "Since we can''t reject the challenge, we can only ept it." Ajax didn''t think much because he was already expecting some unexpected situation right after Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors became the rulers of the Metal Region. So, he ordered Alder to ept the challenge and at the same time, he gave some orders for Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors. "After epting the challenge, ask the details of the challenge." "Also, what is the preparation time for the duel and what are its rules?" . . "And the more important question is, where I or the contracted spirit beasts could participate in the duel?" After ordering them to ask such questions to the spirit of the Floating Ind, Ajax was patiently waiting for a reply from them. However, Ajax didn''t wait for long as he soon started getting answers to his previous question. "The preparation time is one day." "Only the rulers could participate in the fight and the fighting arena would be in a separate space where the rulers could go all out without worrying about the destruction." "As for the rules, the duel will continue until the death of the rulers from one side or if one side of the rulers admits their defeat." "Before the duel, there would be stakes that the rulers from both sides should agree. It can be anywhere from a piece of territory to the entire territory. The winner takes the things that were gampled upon and the loser would lose it even if he didn''t want to give." "Because everything would be overseen by the spirit of the Floating Ind." "As for the ruler who challenged us, he is the sole ruler of the Earth Region and his name is Oberon, the Abyssal Drake Lord." . . . One after another, the Devourer Eagle Emperors started exining all the rules of the Duel between the rulers which they were learning from the spirit of the Floating Ind. "Oh." Ajax was not surprised much by those things because they were all simple things and verymon for the duels to have such rules and regtions. "Since we have one day for the Duel to start, shall we start our preparation?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax looked at the Devourer Eagle Emperors and said, "Let''s do one thing. Let''s increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Devour Rule of Alders to as high as possible." Soon, Ajax informed them to give the nine corpses of the old men that were meant to be consumed by the nine Devourer Eagle Emperors to Alder. Even though these Devourer Eagle Emperors might increase the awakening percentage of their own Divine Devour Rules by two or three percentage, Ajax wanted to use this opportunity to increase the awakening percentage of Alder to as high as possible. As the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules increases, it would be increasingly difficult to raise; however, Ajax still wanted to focus on such a thing. It was because, even though Alder''s awakening percentage for his Divine Devour Rule might not increase more than five percentage even after consuming all those nine corpses, it would still make Alder very powerful. ''Since Oberon is the sole ruler of the Earth Region, the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule might be above 20 percent or even in the 30s. So, if Alder has at least 25 percent of the awakening percentage for his Divine Devour Ruler, along with the help of the other Devour Eagle Emperors, he might put a great battle against him.'' This was what Ajax believed. Of course, Ajax even thought of another n in which he could let another two or three Devourer Eagle Emperors consume all nine corpses of the old men and let them increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules to 20 percent. It was because, for the Divine Devour Rules, an awakening percentage of 20 is a significant achievement. ''It''s alright! As long as Alder has his Divine Devour Rule with 25 percent of awakening, he would be more powerful.'' In short, Ajax was betting everything on Alder and of course, his other Devourer Eagle Emperors have their Divine Devour Rules at 17 percent of awakening. So, Ajax felt it was enough for them to assist Alder and take down the Earth Rule in the duel. Some might think about who these Divine Devour Rules could use once again within such a short span as they already used it a few moments back. The answer was simple, these 10 Divine Devour Rules increased the awakening percentage of their Divine Devour Rules from 1 percent to 17 percent. So, of course, the Duration for their Divine Devour Rule usage would increase and at the same time, the cooldown for the Divine Devour Rule would also decrease. Hence, it won''t be a problem for them to use their Divine Devour Rules again in the duel. On the other hand, Alder would be increasing the awakening percentage of his Divine Devour Rule by another 5 percent which would make up for his previous usage of the Divine Devour Rule. It was also one of the reasons why Ajax decided to go with n 1 instead of n 2. "Also, Alder, for now, just consume the corpses and convert them into the Energy Orbs. You can use your Divine Devour Rule amidst the fight to increase the awakening percentage of your Divine Rule." Even though the Devourer Eagle Emperors could absorb the energy orbs without the Divine Devour Rule and the skill associated with it, it would take quite a long time. However, with the help of the Divine Devour Rule and the [Lightning Devour] Skill, Alder only needs a few seconds to absorb the energy from the energy orbs to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule. If Alder uses the Divine Devour Rule now, the duration for the Divine Rule would be decreased when Alder fights the Earth Rule during the official duel. "Yes, Master." Alder nodded his head as he informed, "Master, since Rulers can challenge the other rulers after we finish this duel, why don''t we challenge the Fire Region''s ruler to avenge little sister Snow?" After learning about the names of the rulers of the different regions, it was very easy for Alder to guess who made them suffer on their first visit to the Floating Ind. He also knew that one of his master''s objectives in entering the Floating Ind was to kill that b*stard. Previously, they thought they should travel all the way to the Fire Region; however, now, they don''t have to stress about it as they could officially issue a challenge to the ruler of the Fire Region. "Actually, I want to vent my anger on him. So, if possible, I should try to be the ruler for one of the regions before issuing him a challenge." In an official duel, only the rulers of two regions would fight and no one other than them would even watch the fight, not to mention joining the fight. As for Ajax, he wanted to take his revenge on that Golden-winged middle-aged man with his own hands. And if possible, he wanted to torture him before killing him. For that, either Ajax needed to be a ruler for one of the regions or Ajax had to travel all the way to the Fire Region, which was very difficult and would take quite some time. Hence, Ajax wanted to be the ruler of one of the regions before issuing the challenge to the ruler of the Fire Region to vent his anger and frustration. Chapter 1840 New Mission Chapter 1840 New Mission "Master, I don''t think it will be a hard thing for you to be the Ruler for one of the regions of the Floating Ind." As Ajax was thinking about it, Alder spoke as he shared some of the information that he gained from the Spirit of the Floating Ind. "If he takes the entire Metal Region in this Duel against the Earth Ruler''s entire Earth Region, upon winning the duel, we can get our hands on the Earth Ruler Core and with it, you can be the Earth Ruler." "I will be depending on you then." With a slight smile on his face, Ajax replied to Alder and the remaining 10 Devourer Eagle Emperors and at the same time, he said, "However, no matter what happens, I want you to return alive from the duel." Since Ajax knew that there was an option of admitting defeat amidst the Duel, Ajax wanted his contracted spirit beast to admit defeat because he didn''t want them to die during the duel. Ajax''s Devourer Eagle Emperors might not be strong; however, at the same time, they were not weak either. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t want to underestimate the rulers of the other regions of the Floating Ind just because they were able to kill the 10 rulers of the Metal Region. ording to Ajax, even if he loses the Metal Region, he could get it back in the future because he could be more powerful with time; however, losing his precious contracted spirit beasts was not something that Ajax wanted. Hence, he was serious when he ordered Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors toe back alive even if they had to admit defeat during the challenge. "Yes, Master." Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors were a little hesitant; however, when they saw the serious look on Ajax''s face, they could tell how serious their master was regarding their life and death. As the proud Devourer Eagle Emperors, it would be embarrassing to admit defeat amidst a challenge; however, after seeing Ajax''s serious expression, they decided to follow Ajax''s orders. It was Ajax who gave them so many cultivation resources and made them this strong and without his help, except for Alder, the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors would have been stuck at the peak of Bestial King Realm forever in their lives. Even though Alder and the others could open the portals to the neighbouring smaller worlds, normal worlds and even the Greater Worlds, they won''t dare to enter the normal worlds, not to mention entering the Greater Worlds would be a death sentence for him. Alder and the remaining Devourer Eagles, with their cultivation of peak Bestial King Realm (In the case where they haven''t met Ajax), have to face many life-and-death situations even in a Normal World. Moreover, if the Normal World bes one of the greater forces in the universe, they would be hunted no matter where they hide. In short, they were greatly indebted to Ajax and wanted to repay him by surviving as long as possible and at the same time, by bing as powerful as possible. Hence, they knew that even though it was embarrassing to admit the fight without taking down the opponent along with them, they decided to do it for Ajax. "Let''s hope that the Earth Ruler is not strong and you can defeat him. If that happens, we will get another region of the Floating Ind under our control." Seeing them nod their heads, Ajax revealed a slight smile before asking them to take some rest for the uing duel. ''Screech'' ''Screech'' Soon except for Alder, the remaining Devourer Eagle Emperors nodded their heads and released some screeches before flying into the distance where new and huge metal pces appeared out of nowhere. After they were recognized by the spirit of the Floating Ind as the official rulers of the Metal Region, each one of the Devourer Eagle Emperors received a pce to stay in. As for Alder, he was going to stay in the main metal pce in which Ajax and his summons were standing. "Everyone, you can go and settle in these 10 metal pces." Soon, Ajax gave the orders to the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts. On hisst visit, Ajax was worried about leaving his summons outside his inner world; however, now, he was no longer about such things. It was because the entire region was under the protection of his Devourer Eagle Emperors who were the strongest in the Metal Region and if someone from the other region trespasses, they could be informed by the Spirit of the Floating Ind. As for the beasts and the humanoids that were living in the Metal Region, even though there might be many powerful ones among them, they were no match for his contracted spirit beasts and the summons. Hence, Ajax was no longer worried about the safety of his summons as he decided to startpleting the goals or the tasks that he had created for himself. "Alder, I will be entering the Elemental Spirit World. So, I won''t be sending you off to your duel. I hope you give your best in the duel ande back alive." Entering the Elemental Spirit World that was connected with the Floating Ind was one of Ajax''s objectives and it would take one day for Ajax to return from the Elemental Spirit World. By then, Alder and the other Devourer Eagle Emperors would be fighting the Earth Ruler in an official duel. So, Ajax informed Alder about it and wanted Alder to make some wise choices in the Duel. "Don''t worry, master. We will win the duel and get that entire Earth Region under our control." Alder''s eyes were filled with confidence as he assured Ajax with his words, making Ajax nod his head with a satisfied smile on his face. After that, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly chose a room and entered it. For Ajax, the room in the metal pce doesn''t matter because all he needs is a peaceful ce to enter the Elemental Spirit World. ¡­ In the room of the Metal Pce, ''I have three chances to enter the Elemental Spirit Worlds. I should try to look for some unique and rare elemental spirits even if I have to waste some time.'' After entering the room, Ajax didn''t enter the Elemental Spirit World directly; instead, he took a deep breath and tried to enter a meditative state. ''Enter'' For Ajax, it didn''t take much time as he only needed a minute to enter the meditative state as his spirit consciousness entered the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind. ¡­. In the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind, Even though there were no humans¡­at least in Ajax''s perspective, there were no native humans in the Floating Ind, there was still an Elemental Spirit World connected to it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om However, the Elemental Spirit World was not useless as the cultivators from the Five Greater Elemental Worlds were able to enter the Floating Ind and form contracts with the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. ording to the system, the Elemental Spirits in this Elemental Spirit World would be rarepared to the Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Greater World. Hence, Ajax was saving all his three chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World for this moment. So, he was excited about it. ''Swoosh'' In a random ce in the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness appeared. Unlike in his previous visits, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form was covered by a golden halo as though he was an otherworldly god descended onto the Elemental Spirit World to bless the Elemental Spirits in this world. ''Ding, A new system mission has been generated. Please check. Before Ajax could check his surroundings topare this Elemental Spirit World with the Elemental Spirit Worlds that he entered previously, Ajax received a system notification regarding his new mission. ''A new mission?'' After Ajax learned about his father''s past and the partial origins of the system, the missions generated by the system were very less. So, Ajax was surprised to see a new mission and at the same time, he was curious regarding this new mission. ''Let''s check.'' Even though Ajax knew that he only had 24 hours in the Elemental Spirit World, he was willing to waste a few moments to check out the mission details. Because, if the mission has something to do with forming the contracts with the Elemental Spirits, he would be missing out on his rewards. So, he decided to check the mission first before rushing to find some good elemental spirits to form contracts with. ''Ding, Mission Name: Kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor. Details: A powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor is guarding this Elemental Spirit World. Kill him at any cost. Mission Reward: System Upgrade. Mission Penalty: The host will die and the system will disappear. More Information: If the host fails to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor, the other party is going to kill you and eat your Divine Spirit Consciousness. Soon, the system showed him the full details of the newly generated mission and with each line he read, the more shocked Ajax became. The first thing that shocked Ajax was that there was an Elemental Spirit Emperor who was guarding the Elemental Spirit World. The second thing was the reward which was the ''System Upgrade'', which Ajax believed that the system had upgraded to the maximum. Last but not least, there was a penalty for the mission in which he would die while the system would escape. Chapter 1841 Divine Human Chapter 1841 Divine Human Even though the system was generating the missions with some penalties, they were rare. What''s more, the penalty for the failure of this mission was his death and at the same time, the system would also disappear. In the past, the system has generated missions with a penalty such as death once or twice; however, it was the first time that the system mentioned that it would disappear. ''What does that mean? Won''t my death mean that I will lose the system already?'' ording to the information that Ajax had gained about the system, once he died, it would find a new host to start its journey. From his perspective, when he dies, then the system would disappear anyway. So, mentioning his death and the disappearance of the system in the penalty section made Ajax frown. ''It looks like the system is not going to answer it.'' Seeing that the system was not bothering to clear his thoughts, Ajax shook his head because he knew that if the system was adamant about not answering his questions, it wouldn''t do it no matter how much he begged. ''Anyway, I willplete the mission at any cost.'' Since the penalty for the mission was too much, Ajax didn''t have the luxury of failing the mission. So, he could only try his best toplete the mission. ''But the problem is, where should I find this Elemental Spirit Emperor now?'' Ajax thought about it for a moment; however, when he thought of the ''More Information'' section in the mission, he stopped bothering about it. ''ording to the system, the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this world wille to kill me. So, I don''t have to look for him and waste my time.'' In the mission details, even though he didn''t see any time restrictions, he was sure that he had toplete the mission before his Divine Spirit Consciousness returned to his body. However, the Elemental Spirit World was vast and it would take who knows how days for Ajax to find where the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this world was. Hence, after thinking for some time, Ajax figured out the fastest way for the Elemental Spirit Emperor toe find him. ''As for that fastest way, it was none other than forming a contract with as many elemental spirits as possible.'' As the guardian of the Elemental Spirit World, the Elemental Spirit Emperor would definitely sense when so many Elemental Spirits try to form contracts with him. ording to the system, when the Elemental Spirit Emperor sees or senses Ajax''s presence, he will try to kill him. Hence, Ajax decided to bait himself for the Elemental Spirit Emperor toe and attack him. ''Also, I should have as many elemental spirits as possible before the Elemental Spirit Emperores to him. So, the Elemental Spirits could help me in the fight against the Elemental Spirit Emperor.'' Ajax still didn''t know exactly how powerful the Elemental Spirit Emperor was and whether he could fight against that Emperor in his current form. If his main body was here, Ajax would have not worried about a mere Elemental Spirit Emperor in the least. ''Ding, The host doesn''t have to worry about such minute things. In his Divine Spirit Consciousness form, he could use all his skills. Just when Ajax was flying in search of the Elemental Spirits to form contracts with, he received a system notification, making him pleasantly surprised. ''What? I can use my skills in my Spirit Consciousness Form?'' Generally, a cultivator''s spirit consciousness form is weak and cannot use any skills and could be destroyed by anyone. So, it was a pleasant surprise for Ajax to hear that he could use his skills in his Spirit Consciousness and of course, Ajax knew why he was able to do it. It was all thanks to his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form. ''Ding, Even though the host can use his skills in his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, it would still be weak as it won''t have a proper defence. ''It''s better than nothing.'' Even though the defence of his Spirit Consciousness was still a problem, Ajax was not worried much about it because for him, using his skills in the Divine Spirit Consciousness Form was already a great deal. ''Since I can use my skills, I can find the Elemental Spirits more easily.'' After learning about another benefit of his Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he decided to use the skills to find the Elemental Spirits. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax covered a kilometer as he checked his surroundings for a moment before using his skill again. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' After blinking for a few moments, Ajax finally found what he was searching for. ''There is not one but three elemental spirits. It looks like my luck is good.'' Looking at the three different coloured elemental spirits that were half transparent and half-human, Ajax became excited. Necros, Volcanis and Sparrow were able to turn half human and half transparent after they reached the emperor''s realm and awakened their Elemental Ascendance. So, Ajax felt that those three elemental spirits were definitely not normal ormon despite belonging to themon elements. Of course, Ajax had already expected that the elemental spirits in this Elemental Spirit World that was connected to the Floating Ind would definitely not be normal. So, he was not surprised but excited to find not one but three elemental spirits in less than 10 minutes after his appearance in the Elemental Spirit World. ''Anyway, let''s go and say hello to them before taking them under me.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he used [Celestial Void Step]. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om If it was before, Ajax would have been very careful in approaching these three half-human and half-transparent elemental spirits; however, right now, when Ajax could use his skills, he was not worried about such things and directly made his appearance close to them. ''Swoosh'' "Hey, there. I am a summoner who hase to take you with me from this world." As soon as he appeared close to these three elemental spirits, Ajax remained calm andposed as he greeted them before informing them about his visit to this Elemental Spirit World. "A H-human?" The three elemental spirits that were discussing something were shocked to hear Ajax''s voice and they were surprised to see Ajax. "Divine Human?" ''Putong'' As Ajax was thinking of what he should say to convince them to form contracts with him, he saw the three elemental spirits fall to their knees. "Huh?" Ajax frowned when he saw the three elemental spirits fall to their knees as he didn''t understand what was going on with those three elemental spirits. Before Ajax could even process what was happening with the three elemental spirits, he heard them say, "Divine Human, we are more than happy to form unofficial contracts with you." "What?" Once again, Ajax was shocked to hear the words of the elemental spirits as he checked his surroundings for a moment before saying, "Are you sure about bing my unofficial elemental spirits?" Even though Ajax was nning to turn all his unofficial elemental spirits into official elemental spirits, he thought he had to convince the elemental spirits to form unofficial contracts with him. However, right now, what was happening in front of him made Ajax feel like he was dreaming everything. ''Ding, Please ce your hand on the heads of the elemental spirits toplete the unofficial contract with them. However, Ajax was able toe to his senses with the help of the system''s notification. ''I am not dreaming¡­everything is real. Is it also one of the benefits of having a Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Even though Ajax looked a little confused, he could guess what was happening right now from the words spoken by the three elemental spirits. They called him Divine Human and the reason for that was very simple it was rted to his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form where it was surrounded by a Golden Aura, making him look like a Human from the higher realm. ''Ding, The host has formed an unofficial contract with Chronis, the Metal Elemental Spirit. ''Ding, The host has formed an unofficial contract with Seraphel, the Fire Elemental Spirit. ''Ding, The host has formed an unofficial contract with Orsa, the Earth Elemental Spirit. As Ajax touched the heads of the three elemental spirits, the system took care of his unofficial contracts with the elemental spirits. "Chronis, (Seraphel), (Orsa), officially greets the Summoning Master." As soon as the process of forming the contracts waspleted, the three elemental spirits officially greeted him with faces full of respect. As the elemental spirits, their main objective was to leave the elemental spirit world by finding a good and powerful summoning master. To their luck, they encountered a Divine Human who was willing to take them in as his unofficial elemental spirits. Even though they could tell that the Divine Human was yet to mature fully, they were not worried about such things because encountering a young Divine Human was already a huge opportunity for them and they were not going toin about it. "Chronis, Seraphel and Orsa don''t worry about being the unofficial elemental spirits, in the future, I will turn you into my official elemental spirits." Since they were his elemental spirits who were going to follow all hismands, Ajax gave them the hopes of turning them into his elemental spirits to increase their loyalty towards him. "What? Summoning Master can change our contracts into official contracts?" Hearing Ajax''s words, the three elemental spirits were shocked. Chapter 1842 Ajaxs Plan Chapter 1842 Ajax''s n A Summoning Master can form only one official contract with the elemental spirits for every different realm like Soldier, Commander, General, King and Emperor realms in his cultivation. And once the Summoning Master forms a contract with an Elemental Spirit, whether it is official or unofficial, it can''t be changed. Hence, when Ajax''s three new elemental spirits heard his words about upgrading their contracts with him from Unofficial to Official, they were shocked and they asked Ajax for confirmation. "I know it is very hard to believe for you guys; however, I have no reason to lie to you, right?" Ajax had already expected such reactions from his three new elemental spirits as he replied to them with a question while maintaining a slight smile on his face. Since these three elemental spirits had already formed unofficial contracts with Ajax, they werepletely under his control and there was no reason for Ajax to lie about such a thing to them. Therefore, when they heard Ajax''s question, even though it was still hard to believe, they nodded their heads and looked forward to the upgrade in their contract. Even though they were already satisfied to have an unofficial contract with a Divine Human like Ajax, they would be over the moon if their contract gets upgraded from unofficial to the official. "However, before that, I have a mission for you." On the other hand, Ajax felt that he had already wasted enough time aftering to the Elemental Spirit World. Hence, he no longer wasted any time as he decided to give a mission to his three new elemental spirits. "We are ready to do anything, Summoning Master." The three elemental spirits were happy to prove their worth to their summoning master and excitedly asked Ajax about their first mission. "Before entering the Elemental Spirit World, I have set a goal for myself." Ajax was satisfied with the excited looks in the eyes of the three Elemental Spirits as he continued saying, "I want to form contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible and as you know, as a Summoning Master, my Divine Spirit Consciousness could only stay in the Elemental Spirits for a limited time of 24 hours." "So, if you can bring your friends and other acquaintances here to form the contract with me, I can fulfil my goal." "Of course, even though it would be an unofficial contract in the beginning, as I promised, I will be upgrading the unofficial contracts into official contracts." "Also, the reason why I can''t do it right now is because I only have one chance to do that and before I use such an opportunity, I wanted to form the unofficial contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible." Ajax was quick with his words as he tried his best to make the three elemental spirits understand what his goal was and what he could do for the elemental spirits who were willing to form contracts with him. Actually, as Ajax said, it was what Ajax had nned before entering the elemental spirit world. Since the Elemental Spirit World was vast and huge, Ajax wouldn''t have enough time to search the entire world for the elemental spirits. ording to his n, he would be forming contracts with some elemental spirits first before ordering them to bring him more and more elemental spirits to form the contracts with him. ''However, thanks to my Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, the process of forming the contracts with my first batch of elemental spirits was quick and easy.'' As Ajax could use his skills in his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, he was able to move fast enough to find these three elemental spirits. In the past, Ajax had a tough time convincing some of his elemental spirits to form contracts with him and there were even some who tested him before agreeing to form a contract with him. Last, but not least, there were some elemental spirits like Prophis, who was adamant about bing the official elemental spirit by forming an official contract with him. For that, Prophis was even willing to wait for him for his next visit to the Elemental Spirit World. However, with the help of Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, the three elemental spirits epted him as their Summoning Master before he could do anything, making things quite easy for Ajax. "It''s just a simple matter, Summoning Master." "I am known to have hundreds of friends, Summoning Master. And, it was with different types of elemental spirits and they were already frustrated to stay in this Elemental Spirit World." "Yes, my friends and acquaintances were also the same as they were waiting for a good Summoning Master to appear in this world. As long as we say that it was a Divine Human who hase to form the contract with them, they would be more than happy to form the unofficial contracts with you, Summoning Master." The three elemental spirits were both excited and a little anxious about their first mission from their summoning master; however, when they heard what Ajax wanted them to do, they became both excited and rxed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om If Ajax was a regr Summoning Master, it would have been a bit difficult for them to convince their friends and other elemental spirits. However, Ajax was a Divine Human and that''s the reason why they decided to be his unofficial elemental spirits in the first pce. As for the other elemental spirits, it was also the same. So, all they had to do was to inform those elemental spirits and bring them to Ajax. "Haha¡­I will be relying on you guys then." Seeing how confident and excited his three elemental spirits were, Ajax could not help butugh out loud and nod his head with a satisfied look on his face. "Summoning Master, since you said there were still more than 23 hours left for you in this Elemental Spirit World, let''s meet here exactly after 23 hours." The Metal Elemental Spirit Chronis thought about it as he came up with that idea. Since these three elemental spirits would be going in different directions and have to go far away, they needed to have a rendezvous point. So, they chose a time and their meeting location, which Ajax didn''t have any problem with. However, Ajax thought of something else as he modified a little, "Let''s keep this as the center and why don''t you send all the elemental spirits that you meet or know here to form the contracts with me?" Whatever Chronis suggested, it was good; however, Ajax still had a mission toplete and it was to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this world. The fastest way for that so-called Elemental Spirit Emperor toe to him was by forming contracts with as many Elemental Spirits as possible. Only by doing something like that, could cause enoughmotion for a guardian of the Elemental Spirit World toe out. ording to the system, the moment the Elemental Spirit Emperor sees Ajax, he tries to kill him. So, Ajax hade up with a n where he could form the contracts with the elemental spirits and at the same time, make the Elemental Spirit Emperore out of his hole. "Interesting¡­it''s a good idea, Summoning Master. By continuously forming contracts with the elemental spirits, you can send them in different directions to cover a huge area of the elemental spirit world." Chronis agreed with Ajax''s idea because it was much better than their previous idea where Ajax could form contracts with the elemental spirits at the end of his stay. However, now, Ajax could stay at one ce where he could form contracts with new elemental spirits from the start and these new elemental spirits could go in new directions to inform or find more elemental spirits to form contracts with Ajax. So, Chronis felt it was a much better idea and didn''t hesitate to agree to it. "We will send the elemental spirits as soon as possible, summoning master." Once the n was made, the three elemental spirits no longer wasted any time as they bowed to Ajax and rushed in the same direction before their destinations got slightly diverged from one another. ''Beforeing to the Elemental Spirit World, I thought forming the contracts with 100 elemental spirits would be an achievement; however, it looks like I should be ready for the surprising number of elemental spirits that I am going to form contracts with.'' Looking at the disappearing silhouettes of his new elemental spirits, Ajax could not help but look forward to the number of elemental spirits that he was going to form contract within his first trip to this Elemental Spirit World. Other than this, Ajax still has two more chances left to enter the Elemental Spirit World and thinking about it made Ajax even more excited. ''Anyway, the elemental spirits in this world looked very different. I wonder whether there were any reasons other than the Elemental Spirit World being connected to the Floating Ind.'' It was bothering Ajax for a while as he was curious about it. Also, he had made a wild guess about why the elemental spirits in this elemental spirit world look Half Human and Half Transparent. With that thought in mind, Ajax quickly used the system to check the information on the three elemental spirits. Without wasting any time, the system had sent the information of his three new elemental spirits. ''T-this..this¡­'' Looking at the information on his three elemental spirits, Ajax was shocked and he rubbed his hands to check the information once again only to see that the information remained the same. Chapter 1843 Special Elemental Spirits Chapter 1843 Special Elemental Spirits Since Ajax had already formed the contracts with those three elemental spirits, he could check out their information even when they were not near him. With a single thought in his head, the system had sent the information that Ajax needed. ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Name: Chronis (Metal). Strength: Elemental King (Mid-level). Skills: 1) Hardened Defense: It can create a metallic shell or aura around itself and limited allies, providing an exceptional defence against physical and magical attacks for a limited time or until it is destroyed. 2) Metallic Infusion: The Elemental spirit can infuse metallic weapons with some special enchantments, increasing their durability or turning them into powerful weapons temporarily. 3) Metallic Regeneration: The Elemental spirit can reform and repair its physical form by drawing upon the Essence of Nautre from the nearby metal sources, making it nearly indestructible. 4) Crystal Bombs: The spirit can create and store a limited number of Crystal Bombs that can be released amidst the fight which would explode and deal critical damage or sometimes, they might even kill the enemy if the enemy is too weak. Elemental Ascendance: Awakened (1 percent). ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Name: Seraphel (Fire). Strength: Elemental King (Low-level). Skills: 1) Inferno Aura: The Elemental Spirit will envelop itself in an aura of intense heat energy, making it immune to fire elemental attacks and can deal burn damage to those who get too close. 2) zing Flight: The Elemental Spirit can manifest fiery wings to achieve flight, leaving a trail of mes behind it and in its state, all its fire attacks would deal an additional 100 percent damage. 3) Lava st: It is a passive skill in which the Elemental Spirit can endure both physical and energy attacks until a certain point and after that, the skill will be triggered in which the Elemental Spirit will temporarily have his battle prowess increase by 10 times. 4) Gigantic Fire Storm: The Elemental Spirit can summon a huge firestorm that wouldst for 10 minutes and could be the elemental spirit''s defence and attacking partner. Elemental Ascendance: Awakened (1 percent). ''Ding, Elemental Spirit Name: Orsa (Earth). Strength: Elemental King (Low-level) Skills: 1) Stone Armor: The Elemental Spirit can create a protective shell of stone or rock around itself, making it highly resistant to physical and magical attacks. 2) Earth Golem Summoning: The Elemental Spirit can summon earth golems or creatures made of earth and stone to serve as guardians or allies. 3) Earthquake Rush: The Elemental Spirit can generate powerful Earthquakes and within the range of these Earthquakes, the Elemental Spirit can have quick movements to attack his enemies. 4) Elemental Stone Projectiles: It can hurl rocks and boulders that are made up of the Essence of Nature at high speeds, turning them into weapons. Elemental Ascendance: Awakened (1 percent). ''T-these¡­elemental spirits¡­they have already cultivated till the Elemental Spirit King realm and even awakened the Elemental Ascendance.'' Looking at the information about his new three elemental spirits, Ajax was thoroughly shocked because he didn''t expect to see such crazy things about his new elemental spirits. Even though Ajax knew that the elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind would be more powerful and unique, he never expected even in his wildest dreams that these Elemental Spirits were so powerful. ''Aren''t the Elemental Spirits supposed to start cultivating only after they formed the contracts with the Summoning Master? Why are these elemental spirits so unique?'' One of the most basic things that Ajax knew about Summoning and the Elemental Spirits was that an Elemental Spirit in the Elemental Spirit World needed to form a contract with a Summoning Master. With the help of the Summoning Master''s Essence of Nature, these elemental spirits could channel the essence of nature around them to increase their cultivation. So, when the elemental spirits of this world are breaking the most basic rule of the elemental spirits and summoning, Ajax could not help but be shocked about it. ''Ding, The basic rule applies to the elemental spirits until they awaken the Elemental Ascendance and once it is awakened, the elemental spirits don''t need the help of the summoning masters regarding their cultivation. ''Ding, The reason why the Elemental Spirits of this Elemental Spirit World were able to awaken their Elemental Ascendance was because of the Floating Ind which holds some mysteries and secrets in it. ''Ding, Of course, that doesn''t mean they don''t need the summoning master anymore. They would still form the contract with the Summoning Masters because they were the passes for the elemental spirits to leave this Elemental Spirit World. Before Ajax could think of an eptable answer to his question, the system sent notifications to solve his questions. ''Oh. So, it was because of the Elemental Ascendance.'' Ajax didn''t expect that the Elemental Ascendance was the key for the Elemental Spirits to cultivate; however, he was half true about his guess because he knew that it was rted to the Floating Ind. ''My Elemental Spirits needed to reach the peak Elemental Spirit King Realm and even then, they had to eat the Elemental Ascendance Fruit or receive the blessings from the [Tree of Blessing] to awaken their Elemental Ascendance.'' After epting the information he read about his elemental spirits, Ajax could not help but think about how hard it was for his Elemental Spirits to awaken their Elemental Spirits. Even now, there were still more than half of his Elemental Spirits that were waiting to awaken their Elemental Ascendance but the Elemental Spirits in this world were very lucky to awaken their Elemental Ascendance without any difficulties. ''I wonder what my other elemental spirits will feel when they learn about the Elemental Spirits of this Elemental Spirit World.'' Ajax shook his head with a bitter smile on his face as he knew it might breathe a rift between his old elemental spirits and the new elemental spirits. The old elemental spirits worked hard and had to go through many things before reaching their current state whereas the new elemental spirits were able to reach a top position before they could leave the Elemental Spirit World. Anyway, Ajax decided to keep an eye on all his elemental spirits after leaving the Elemental Spirit World. ''Now, I should keep an eye on the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this world while waiting for the elemental spirits thate to me to form the contract with me.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about his future problems and decided to focus on the present as he sat cross-legged and decided to wait for the elemental spirits and the elemental spirit emperor. ''I think I should use this time to cultivate and increase the Divine Essence of Nature of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Since the Elemental Spirit World was filled with the rich essence of nature, Ajax knew that he could cultivate in the Elemental Spirit World. Almost all the Summoning Masters who enter the Elemental Spirit World to form the contract with the Elemental Spirits don''t bother to waste their time by cultivating even though the Essence of Nature in the Elemental Spirit World would be much more purerpared to the world it was connected to. Since the Floating Ind has the rich essence of nature that could even help the Emperor Real Cultivators, as the Elemental Spirit World that was connected to the Floating Ind, it would naturally have the purest essence of nature that even the peak emperor realm cultivators could use to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. However, they still won''t cultivate in the Elemental Spirit Worlds. It was because, they had limited time in the Elemental Spirit World and they took a long time to form official contracts with the Elemental Spirits of course, before that, they still needed to waste some time in finding a suitable and powerful elemental spirit. In short, they would barely have enough time to find a good elemental spirit of their liking and form an official contract with it and they won''t even think about forming an unofficial contract with the other elemental spirits because they won''t have any time for it. When these summoning masters didn''t even have the time to form the contract with the second elemental spirits, how could they have any luxury in cultivating in the Elemental Spirit World? As for Ajax, the time taken for him to form official or unofficial contracts is almost negligible because he only needed a second to ce his hands on them. So, Ajax has the luxury of both forming contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible and cultivating to his heart''s content. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started cultivating because he needed as many units of the Divine Essence of Nature as possible to temper his body with them. So, even if he could get 100 or so units during his time in the Elemental Spirit World, it would be of some use to him. ''Ding, The host has started circting his God-level Cultivation technique for a minute. ''Ding, The 10x boost from the Jade''s Pendant is applied. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. As usual, just after Ajax cultivated for a minute, he received a series of system notifications regarding his absorption of the Divine Essence of Nature. It was Ajax''s habit to check out the speed at which he was absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature whenever he was in a new location. So, looking at the 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax nodded his head with a satisfied smile. Chapter 1844 New Elemental Spirits Chapter 1844 New Elemental Spirits ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host¡­ . . n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om . Ajax continued to cultivate as he absorbed the 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature for every minute. Time continued to pass and one hour passed by as the first batch of Elemental Spirits came to Ajax from different directions. "Divine Human, I havee to form an unofficial contract with you." "Chronis informed me about you." "I came here after learning about you from Seraphel." "I am a good friend of Orsa." . . There were more than 10 elemental spirits that came to Ajax and it was very easy for them to recognize Ajax because he had a Divine Halo around him. Even though they rushed here after learning about Ajax from the three Elemental Spirits, Chronis, Seraphel and Orsa, they wouldn''t mind even if the human in front of them was not the same as the one mentioned by those three Elemental Spirits. For them, all that mattered was that the Summoning Master in front of them was a Divine Human and forming a contract with such a Summoning Master would be a great thing for them. Hence, they were excited and readily agreed to be Ajax''s elemental spirits just like the three Elemental Spirits. "Okay okay¡­there is no need to fight among yourselves. I will form a contract with everyone." Another important thing was that these elemental spirits were fighting among themselves to be the first ones to form a contract with them. It was because they were worried that the process of forming the contract would be very long and they might miss the chance to be the Divine Human''s Elemental Spirits. As far as they know, it would take at least a couple of hours for a Summoning Master to form an unofficial contract with an elemental spirit and so far, the Divine Human in front of them had already formed the unofficial contracts with three elemental spirits. They also know that a Summoning Master''s spirit consciousness could only stay in the Elemental Spirit World for 12 to 24 hours depending on the Summoner''s talent and type of Spirit Consciousness. So, they were worried that they might miss out on forming the unofficial contract with the Divine Human in front of them. Hence, Ajax assured them that he would be forming a contract with everyone. ''You might not believe me now, but soon, you will.'' Ajax didn''t bother to waste his time exining how he could form the contracts with a single touch because he knew they wouldn''t believe him. Therefore, Ajax directly started cing his hands on their heads and started forming unofficial contracts with them. ''Ding, The host has formed an unofficial contract with Silveron, the Metal Elemental Spirit. ''Ding, The host has formed an unofficial contract with mora, the Fire Elemental Spirit. . . In less than 20 seconds, Ajax had formed the unofficial contracts with all 12 Elemental Spirits as the system notifications kept ringing in his ears. ''Three Metal and three Fire and the three 6 elemental spirits belong to the remaining three elements like Wind, Earth and Water with two elemental spirits each belonging to the element.'' There were no special elemental spirits like Space or Time or even the Blood, Mist or other types of elemental spirits; however, Ajax was satisfied with these elemental spirits because they had already cultivated to the Elemental Spirit King Realm and even awakened the Elemental Ascendance. So, what more could he ask from them? After forming the contracts with them, Ajax would be more powerful and as he continued to form contracts, he would only be more and more powerful. As long as he connects all these elemental spirits to the [Tree of Blessing] and lets them have the ability to revive upon death, then Ajax could be invincible. Even in the worst situation, he could let his Elemental Spirits bring down his enemies with them and all he had to spend was a little time and some cultivation resources to recover their cultivation. ''Of course, I don''t want such a situation to happen; however, I won''t hesitate to do such a thing if the situation bes worse. For such a thing, it would be very useful to have as many elemental spirits as possible.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he looked at his new batch of the elemental spirits, he said, "There are still more than 20 hours left for me to stay in this Elemental Spirit World. So, why don''t you go and bring more of your friends." "Yes, Summoning Master." As soon as they heard Ajax''s words, the 12 elemental spirits didn''t waste any time as they hurriedly nodded their heads and dispersed in different directions to bring more elemental spirits for their summoning master to form contracts with. Ajax knew that for his crazy backup n of using the Elemental Spirits as the shield, he needed to have as many elemental spirits as possible. With one elemental spirit, it is impossible to kill a powerful opponent that Ajax and his other contracted spirit beasts could not kill; however, what if the number of elemental spirits increases as each elemental spirit uses one of its most powerful skills to attack the opponent? If 10 elemental spirits were unable to take down an opponent along with them, then what about 100 elemental spirits? Or 200 or even 500 elemental spirits? In the end, either the opponent gets killed or weakened enough for Ajax and his other contracted spirit beasts to kill them. Hence, Ajax was focused more on forming contracts with as many elemental spirits as possible. Moreover, with the help of the fruit, [Gift of the Summoners], Ajax could convert all his unofficial elemental spirits into official elemental spirits. Therefore, Ajax was bing excited about the thought of having 500 official elemental spirits. ''Also, I wonder when the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this Elemental Spirit World wille to me? I hope hees soon.'' ***** Chapter 1845 Elemental Spirit Emperor Chapter 1845 Elemental Spirit Emperor Since it was a mission that was rted to Ajax''s life and death, he was hoping that the Elemental Spirit Emperor of this world woulde to him. As for why Ajax was sure that the Elemental Spirit Emperor would find him because of his abnormal ability to form contracts with the Elemental Spirits with a single touch. Time continued to pass as three hours passed by as Ajax formed contracted with another two batches of Elemental Spirits with more than 10 Elemental Spirits in each batch. From the time Ajax entered this Elemental Spirit World, Ajax had formed unofficial contracts with nearly 40 elemental spirits and without any surprise, all these elemental spirits have awakened their Elemental Ascendance. For these Elemental Spirits, all Ajax needed to do for them was to bring them out of the Elemental Spirit World and eventually, they would have their Elemental Ascendance reach 100 percent. ''Adding to my old elemental spirits, I have more than 50 of them and the rate at which I am forming the contracts with the Elemental Spirits, by the time I leave this world, I will easily have 100 of them and forming the contracts with nearly 500 elemental spirits might not be an impossible task to do.'' Just thinking about it made Ajax excited because, with so many unofficial elemental spirits that would turn into official elemental spirits, he would have a crazy number of official elemental skills. Moreover, since he was forming contracts with five different elemental spirits like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal, Ajax would have the official skills belonging to these five elements making hime up with a perfect counter to any type of attack from his enemies.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Time continued to pass and after another hour, Ajax sessfully formed the contracts with another batch of Elemental Spirits. However, just as he was able to check the details of his new batch of elemental spirits, Ajax sensed a powerful aura from the distance that wasing at him at an incredible speed. "It is very rare to see a Divine Human appear in my Elemental Spirit World." That Elemental Spiritnded some distance away from Ajax as he observed Ajax with his keen eyes. From the looks of it, there was no evil intent in this newly arrived Elemental Spirit that Ajax believed to be an Elemental Spirit Emperor. "Are you the Emperor of this Word, The Elemental Spirit Emperor?" Ajax asked the question to the Elemental Spirit in front of him; however, what he was truly waiting for was an answer from the system. ''Ding, Even though the Elemental Spirit Emperor was not showing any evil intent, he would attack you at any moment and wouldn''t stop until you were dead. ''Ding, If you are tired of living, you can continue to talk with him and the system will disappear along with the host. On the other hand, the system knows something about the Elemental Spirit Emperor that Ajax didn''t know. So, it didn''t waste any time informing Ajax about what the Elemental Spirit Emperor was capable of and warned Ajax not to take him so lightly. ''Fine..fine¡­ I will not waste my time talking with him.'' Since Ajax got the confirmation from the system along with a warning, he knew that he could not wait for his enemy to attack him because who knows what kind of attacks the so-called Elemental Spirit Emperor was having that the system was warning him so much about his opponent. ''A Divine Human? No wonder, he was able to have that thing.'' As for the Elemental Spirit Emperor, his expression was the same which was calm andposed as he silently made a remark about Ajax about something in his mind. "That''s right! I am the Emperor of this Elemental Spirit World." At the same time, the Elemental Spirit Emperor nodded his head. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' On the other hand, Ajax didn''t bother to listen to the Elemental Spirit Words any longer as he directly used his movement skill to appear beside the Elemental Spirit Emperor. [Thunderstrike Palm] At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget tounch hisbination attack to deal as much damage as possible. Ajax was confident in his attack because, after the repeated usage of his two skills [Celestial Void Step] and the [Thunderstrike Palm], there was barely any time left for his opponents to dodge or block the second skill. Moreover, since Ajax took the initiative tounch the attack on the Elemental Spirit Emperor while he was still talking, Ajax thought he could easily kill him. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' The initial instance of this chapter being avable happened at N0v3l.Bin. However, things were not as simple as Ajax thought they were because Ajax''s powerful palm attack hadnded perfectly ... but in the air which made a rumbling sound. "Haha¡­it looks like that thing has already warned you." The Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t put much effort into dodging Ajax''s attacks. All he did was take a single side step in a slow but effective manner, which helped the Elemental Spirit Emperor perfectly dodge the attack. ''What?'' As for Ajax, he was thoroughly shocked to see how easily the Elemental Spirit World was and finally understood why the system was warning him heavily regarding the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''It looks like he is a powerful opponent that I have to fight on my own.'' If it was outside the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax could let his contracted spirit beasts take care of this so-called Elemental Spirit Emperor; however, since he was in the Divine Spirit Consciousness form and currently, he was in the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax could rely on no one but himself to defeat the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Also, from the looks of it, this so-called Elemental Spirit Emperor knows about the system and I wonder how he knows about it.'' Another thing that shocked Ajax about the Elemental Spirit Emperor was that the other party knows about the system and he also knows that the system was warning Ajax regarding him. Hence, Ajax believed that the system was not informing some important information about this Elemental Spirit Emperor. Chapter 1846 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor Chapter 1846 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor So far, it''s been more than a couple of years since Ajax awakened the system and other than him and his father who was the previous host of the system along with the top powerhouses of the universe, no one else knows about its existence. However right now, the Elemental Spirit in front of Ajax, not only knows about the existence of the system but he also knows that Ajax was the current host of the system. It was something that Ajax never expected to hear from an Elemental Spirit. Adding this along with the system''s deadly mission along its warnings towards the Elemental Spirit Emperor, Ajax waspletely sure that the system was not revealing some crucial information about the Elemental Spirit Emperor to him. However, he didn''t bother to ask the system about it because he was adamant about not telling him anything. ''Judging from the system''s previous behaviour, I think it would only reveal that crucial information it was hiding after I defeat the Elemental Spirit Emperor.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at the elemental spirit emperor to take a proper look at him. The Elemental Spirit Emperor looked just like any other elemental spirit in this Elemental Spirit World which was half human and half transparent form, However, the significant difference between him and the remaining elemental spirits was that he had a golden halo on top of his head. Also, the other thing that Ajax noticed was the new elemental spirits that were standing beside him were shaking with fear. With a nce, Ajax could tell that the halo around the Elemental Spirit Emperor was causing such a reaction just like how the Divine Halo around Ajax''s body made them submit to Ajax. "Human, the reason why you can reach your current position is thanks to that thing inside you. So, don''t me it for getting yourself killed." On the other hand, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was looking at Ajax as though he was looking at a corpse. He was confident that Ajax would be dying in his hands today and no one could change it. "Don''t be so sure about it before you kill me." Ajax was already serious about the Elemental Spirit Emperor when the system warned him and now, after seeing how easily and perfectly the Elemental Spirit Emperor had dodged his attack, Ajax decided to give his all and kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor as soon as possible. "[Divine Thunder Rule], activate." Once Ajax understood how dire the situation he was in, he no longer wasted any time as he directly activated one of his powerful Divine Rules, which was the Divine Thunder Rule. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine Thunder Rule which stays activated for 10 minutes. [Divine Thunder Rule - Lightning Maniption] Ajax nodded at the system notification as he went all out against the Elemental Spirit Emperor from the beginning itself as he used the powerful skill linked with the Divine Thunder Rule. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' In the next second, Ajax''s entire Divine Spirit Consciousness form was covered in lightning arcs and at the same time, rumbling sounds came out of his body. In short, Ajax looked like a Thunder God''s avatar as he directlyunched an attack on the elemental spirit emperor without wasting any time. "Oh. You awakened the Divine Thunder Rule? It must be thanks to that thing inside you, right?" The Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t seem surprised that Ajax had awakened the Divine Thunder Rule as he gave the credit to the system, which Ajax could not refute. It was true that Ajax was able to awaken the Divine Thunder Rule thanks to the system; however, he had increased its awakening percentage from one percent to 10 percent on his own with the help of the external resources he found in the world. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t bother to argue with the Elemental Spirit Emperor as he summoned more than 10 lightning snakes to attack the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax released those lightning snakes at the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "If you think these puny attacks are enough to kill me, then you are wrong?" The Elemental Spirit Emperor looked at the iing lightning snakes and scoffed at Ajax. ''Swoosh'' The Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t even bother to dodge the iing lightning snakes which showed how much he looked down on those lightning snakes. ''What?'' In the next second, the Elemental Spirit Emperor did something that made Ajax thoroughly shocked as he finally sensed the true sense of danger from the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Slurp'' Those iing lightning snakes which were rushing towards the Elemental Spirit Emperor were devoured by him as though they were some delicious snacks instead of lightning snakes. It was Ajax''s one of the most powerful attacks that could kill even the powerful emperor realm cultivators who awakened their Divine Rules; however, even such an attack became a snack to the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "Thanks for the meal." The Elemental Spirit Emperor looked satisfied as he thanked Ajax for a good and nourishing meal for him. ''Damn this, b*stard.'' Ajax cursed the Elemental Spirit Emperor under his breath. The initial instance of this chapter being avable happened at N0v3l.Bin.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [Lightning st] However, Ajax suppressed his disappointment and anger as he used another one of his skills under the Divine Lightning Rule. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a Lightning Ball around the size of Ajax''s head was condensed in front of Ajax. ''Go'' With a little push, the powerful-looking Lightning Ball in front of Ajax rushed towards the Elemental Spirit Emperor at an incredible speed. "Herees my next meal¡­Haha." Just like before the Elemental Spirit Emperor was calm andposed as he chuckled a little before opening his mouth wide open. ''Let''s change the direction.'' As the creator of the Lightning Ball and with another one of his skills [Lightning Maniption], Ajax could control it with ease. So, he decided to change the direction of the Lightning Ball. ''Swoosh'' However, the Lightning Ball was sucked into the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s mouth as though something was attracting it. "Did you see that? No matter what skill you " Chapter 1847 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (2) Chapter 1847 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (2) "Did you see that? No matter what skill you have, it is not going to work on me¡­Haha." After swallowing the Lightning Ball, the Elemental Spirit Emperor scoffed and chuckled at Ajax as though he was looking at an idiot. ''He took the bait.'' However, on the other hand, simr to the Elemental Spirit Emperor, Ajax looked at the other party as though he was looking at an idiot for swallowing it. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t bother to mock the Elemental Spirit Emperor because he was not fully confident whether that move was going to work or not. He didn''t want to count his chickens before they were hatched as it would lead to a greater disappointment and a huge p in the face if his attack didn''t affect the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''I still feel the connection with the Lightning Ball.'' In the next second, Ajax''s confidence in his n increased to the next level when he sensed the connection with the Lightning Ball swallowed by the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Lightning st'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Since he was sensing the connection with the Lightning Ball in the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s stomach, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he was worried that the Lightning Ball might be digested. Since he was sensing the connection with the Lightning Ball in the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s stomach, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he was worried that the Lightning Ball might be digested. Hence, without wasting any time, Ajax directly sted that Lightning Ball in the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s stomach. That''s right! As the name of the skill [Lightning st] sounds, the Lightning Ball summoned by Ajax could be sted by Ajax whenever he wanted and finally, he did it after the Lightning Ball was swallowed by the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''What?'' There was an anxious look on the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s face when he noticed something was not right with the Divine Human in front of him. However, it was toote for the Elemental Spirit Emperor to do anything as Ajax had already activated the st of the Lightning Ball. ''Boom'' After that, there was no surprise as a huge explosion happened inside the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Did I kill it?'' Even though there was no mud or sand around the Elemental Spirit Emperor, there was still a lot of smoke that hindered Ajax''s vision. So, Ajax was not sure whether he killed or injured it. ''It looks like he is still alive¡­what kind of monster is he?'' Even after a few moments, there was no ''Kill Notification'' from the system, so Ajax concluded that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was not dead, making Ajax a little disappointed. It was Ajax''s most powerful attack and the explosion urred inside the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s body. So, the severity of the attack increases by multiple levels. So, how could Ajax not be disappointed to see that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was still alive? However, he hoped that the Elemental Spirit Emperor would have been severely or even moderately injured from his earlier attack; otherwise, he would have had a heart attack on Ajax if the Elemental Spirit Emperor was perfectly fine. ''Swoosh'' "Are you looking for me?" In the next second, a silhouette appeared behind Ajax as he heard a serious but mocking voice beside his ears followed by, "I will let you have the taste of your attack¡­hehe." "What?" Ajax frowned when he heard the voice and the chuckle because it belonged to none other than the Elemental Spirit Emperor and from the sounds of it, Ajax was sure that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was in his peak condition. In short, Ajax''s most powerful attack was useless on the Elemental Spirit Emperor and what''s more, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was able to copy the attack he swallowed earlier. [Lightning Snakes] While Ajax was still in shock, the Elemental Spirit Emperor used Ajax''s attack and in the next second, a dozen Lightning Snakes appeared in front of the Elemental Spirit Emperor. These Lightning Snakes looked just like the ones that Ajax summoned earlier both shape-wise and power-wise. ''Swoosh'' In no time, those Lightning Snakes rushed towards Ajax and since the Elemental Spirit Emperor was just behind Ajax, there was no time for Ajax to dodge them. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' Soon, the Lightning Snakesnded on Ajax one after another, leading to a series of explosions. ''Thud'' "Summoning Master." Seeing Ajax sting away, thest batch of elemental spirits that Ajax had formed a contract with, anxiously looked at him and wanted to check on him. ''Stay away. I am alright!'' However, Ajax asked them to stay away because these Elemental Spirits wouldn''t stand a chance against the Elemental Spirit Emperor. As the Elemental Spirit Emperor, Ajax sensed that he wouldn''t be harming the Elemental Spirits that he formed contracts with; however, it wouldn''t be the same when they tried to fight him or make him angry with their actions. Even though killing the Summoner will kill all the Elemental Spirits, that rule won''t apply to the Elemental Spirits that Ajax had formed the contract during his current trip to the Elemental Spirit World. It was because Ajax had yet to bring his newly contracted elemental spirits out of the Elemental Spirit World and thus, even if Ajax was killed, nothing would happen to these elemental spirits. As for the elemental spirits that he formed contracts with in the past, there would be two oues. 1) The unofficial elemental spirits would die without any choice. 2) As for the official elemental spirits, they could either die with their Summoning Master to follow him in his afterlife or they could just sever the contract with Ajax with slight injuries and return to the nearest Elemental Spirit World. That''s the reason why almost all the Elemental Spirits like to form an official contract with the Summoning Master as it would at least let them have a contract over their life and death. Of course, these kinds of oues were only for the other Summoners and not for Ajax. As for him, since his Soul was already connected to the Soul Nourishment Tree, he would be returned to the Soul Nourishment Tree and of course, he had to pay some penalty for his death. Chapter 1848 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (3) Chapter 1848 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (3) The thing is Ajax didn''t know exactly how severe the penalty would be; however, Ajax was not worried too much about it. For him, as long as he could live, he would be willing to pay the penalty no matter how costly it would be. Also, Ajax felt that dying in his current situation would give him the least penalty and moreover, since his body would be intact, Ajax felt that he didn''t need to put in extra effort to create a new body. Nevertheless, Ajax could tell that it wouldn''t be an easy task to enter his own body. Anyway, Ajax didn''t have a single clue of how things would turn out to be in such a situation where he would die and return to the Soul Nourishment Tree in his soul form. To know more about it, Ajax had to die and figure it out for himself; however, why would Ajax kill himself for such a thing when he had a lot of things pending? ''Damn it¡­this b*stard is much more cunning and stronger than I thought.'' After letting the elemental spirits know that he was alright, Ajax could not help but curse while looking at the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "You are much stronger than I imagined." On the other hand, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was also surprised to see Ajax stand even after receiving an attack from such a close range. "You are much stronger than I imagined." On the other hand, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was also surprised to see Ajax stand even after receiving an attack from such a close range. The reason why Ajax was still standing even after seeing a Lightning Attack at such close range was that the Divine Thunder Rule was still active, which gives 10 percent resistance from the Lightning and Thunder Attacks that were rted to the Divine Rules. Even though the Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t awaken the Divine Thunder Rule or Divine Lightning Rule, it was able to copy Ajax''s attack perfectly since the attack had Divne Rules attached to it. So, Ajax was only able to decrease the impact of that attack by 10 percent; otherwise, he would have resisted that attack perfectly as his Divine Thunder Rule gives 100 percent immunity to the normal Lightning and Thunder attacks. Nevertheless, with that 10 percent resistance and along with Ajax''s strong Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, Ajax was able to survive that attack. "Divine Human, no matter what you do, you can''t kill me and by devouring your Divine Spirit Consciousness and the thing attached to your soul, I will be stronger and one step closer to ascending to the Heavenly Elemental Realm¡­Haha." Suddenly, the Elemental Spirit Emperor said something that made Ajax raise his brows as he finally understood something that he didn''t understand previously. ''So, that''s the reason why the system said that I will die and at the same time, the system will also disappear if I fail to kill this Elemental Spirit Emperor.'' Ajax thought of the system''stest mission''s penalty. Back then, he didn''t understand why the system would disappear if he failed the mission; however, after hearing the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s words, Ajax understood the reason behind it. Even if he died, Ajax knew that he could carry the system with his soul and slowly reconstruct a new body or re-enter his own body with the system; however, ording to the mission, it wouldn''t be possible if he failed the mission. It was because the system would be devoured by the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "You want to devour me and that thing and then, you want to ascend to the Heavenly Elemental Realm?" Ajax became serious as he started thinking about what he should do to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor as soon as possible after he asked that question. "From the looks of it, the thing inside you is yet to be strong and you are yet to learn things about us." The Elemental Spirit Emperor saw that it was Ajax''s first time hearing about the ''Concept of Devouring'' the System to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Hence, he could tell that Ajax had yet to learn more things about the System and the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "If you give me a pleasant surprise with your attacks, I will exin more about these things. What do you say?" Since the Elemental Spirit Emperor guessed that Ajax was clueless about the things rted to the System and the Elemental Spirit Emperors of the Elemental Spirit World, the Elemental Spirit Emperor tried to give an option to Ajax. "Really?" Ajax had a mocking look on his face as he replied, "However, I am not interested in it." ''Deactivate the Divine Thunder Rule.'' The first he did after saying those words was to deactivate his Divine Thunder Rule. Even though there were still more than five minutes left before it fell into the cooldown, Ajax wanted to use itter. So, he deactivated it. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' After that, without any hesitation, Ajax used his movement skills to escape from the Elemental Spirit Emperor. That''s right! Ajax teleported away from the Elemental Spirit Emperor, to the maximum distance he could teleport with the Celestial Void Step. "Huh? You are running away now?" The Elemental Spirit Emperor was surprised for a moment because he didn''t expect the Divine Human to be a coward who would run away in the middle of the fight. "Haha¡­do you think you can run away from me?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Nevertheless, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was not worried too much about it because as an Emperor of this Elemental Spirit World, nothing could hide from him and no one could escape from him. So, he casually flew behind Ajax, trying to see where Ajax was trying to escape. "You have a good movement skills; however, I can''t eat it. Why don''t you use some attacks that I can eat?" Even though Ajax was very far from the Elemental Spirit Emperor, the Elemental Spirit Emperor caught up to Ajax in no time. However, the Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t attack Ajax; instead, he asked Ajax to use some materialistic attacks so that he could eat them. ''So, he could learn all the attacks that he ate but why is he not using the Lightning st?'' Chapter 1849 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (4) Chapter 1849 Powerful Elemental Spirit Emperor (4) ''So, he could learn all the attacks that he ate but why is he not using the Lightning st?'' While escaping, Ajax thought of something which could help him in defeating the Elemental Spirit Emperor by making some changes to his existing n. That''s right! n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Even though it seemed like Ajax was running away, in fact, he had a n and he was executing it until he thought of an additional thing when he heard the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s words. Earlier, the Elemental Spirit Emperor had swallowed two of Ajax''s attacks, namely, the Lightning Snakes and the Lightning st; however, he only used the Lightning Snakes attack which wasparatively weaker than the Lightning st. [Lightning Snakes] ''Swoosh'' "No matter where you run, you can''t escape from me." From time to time, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was using the [Lightning Snakes] attacks; however, Ajax didn''t have a problem in dodging those attacks. ''With the Lightning st, the Elemental Spirit Emperor could easily injure me. There must be a reason why he could not use it.'' Seeing that the Elemental Spirit Emperor kept using only the [Lightning Snakes], Ajax became sure about his thoughts that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was unable to use the attack [Lightning st] that he swallowed after the Lightning Snakes. ''Is it because there was a cooldown to what he could swallow and digest?'' Whatever Ajax was thinking, they were all his thoughts based on his assumptions. So, he wanted to back his thoughts with some valid proof. ''However, he is asking me to use more and more attacks on him which means there was no cooldown whatsoever; or maybe, he could swallow and digest a limited number of attacks before that skill falls into a cooldown.'' Ajax was having lots of thoughts in his head while he was running and eventually, he thought of something that made him get apletely new perspective on the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Don''t tell me that the [Lightning st] has dealt some kind of damage to him.'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax asked the system, ''System, do you think my Lightning st has dealt some damage to the Elemental Spirit Emperor.'' Even though there were no injuries on the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s body, Ajax had a gut feeling that the Lightning st had dealt some damage to the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Ding, There is a rumour that the Elemental Spirit Emperors of the Elemental Spirit World have more than one life. ''Ding, The system is unable to verify it as its level is still low. Please defeat the Elemental Spirit Emperor and let the system devour it to get more information about the Elemental Spirit Emperors along with my information. Suddenly, two system notifications in Ajax''s head made Ajax frown. ''What the ... .your level is still low?'' Ajax thought that he had upgraded the system to the maximum level and felt he no longer needed to worry about upgrading it. However, right now, the system was telling him that his level was still low and needed to be upgraded and the only way to upgrade it was by devouring the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Just like how the Elemental Spirit Emperor was excited to devour the system, the system also wants to devour the Elemental Spirit Emperor to upgrade it further.'' The more Ajax learned about the Elemental Spirit Emperor, the moreplicated the matter became and at the same time, Ajax finally understood why the Elemental Spirit Emperor wanted to kill him. It was because, by killing Ajax and devouring his Divine Spirit Consciousness along with the system, the Elemental Spirit Emperor would be more powerful and it was the same for the system as it could upgrade itself by devouring the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''As the host of the system, I share the same fate as the system.'' Ajax knew he didn''t have the right toin that it was not fair or something like that because he had relied so much on the system. ''All I can do right now is, kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor and help the system upgrade itself.'' As the system upgrades itself, the more helpful it will be for Ajax. Moreover, even if he didn''t want to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor, the other party would kill him at any cost. In short, it would be a life and death situation for Ajax and also, if the other party was devouring his Divine Spirit Consciousness, his soul might not return to the Soul Nourishment Tree. Therefore, Ajax had to do his best to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor even without the system''s mission. ''Anyway, let''s execute the n I devised earlier. As long as it goes well, I can check whether my theories are right or wrong.'' Soon, Ajax put an end to his non-stop thinking as he decided to go with his n for now. "Didn''t you hear me? No matter where you run to, you can''t escape from me¡­Hehe." The Elemental Spirit Emperor chuckled as he said those words; however, Ajax could tell that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was getting frustrated and could no longer y the ''cat and mouse'' with Ajax. ''It looks like he is no longer in the mood to drag this fight any longer. I have to find the Dark Elemental Region soon.'' No matter how calm Ajax looked, he was also getting tense because to execute his n, he had to find the Dark Elemental Region. An Elemental Spirit World is a world that inhabits all kinds of Elemental Spirits and to do that, it should have all kinds of habitats to amodate and nurture the Elemental Spirits. Currently, Ajax is trying to find the Dark Elemental Region in the Elemental Spirit World because his n heavily relies on the ce that has rich Dark Elemental Energy. Thus, Ajax was rushing towards a Dark Elemental Region ording to the information he received from the elemental spirits that he formed the contract with, earlier. ''There it is.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to find the ce he was looking for and became a little excited. Chapter 1850 Killing the Elemental Spirit Emperor (1) Chapter 1850 Killing the Elemental Spirit Emperor (1) ''Divine Dark Rule, activate.'' As soon as he found the Dark Elemental Region, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he activated his Divine Dark Rule. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine Dark Rule and it willst for 20 minutes. The system did its usual thing which was informing the duration of the Divine Rule for Ajax to keep track of the time. [Divine Dark Rule - Absorption Effect] [Dargon Soaring Nine Heavens] ''Swoosh'' Without any hesitation, Ajax activated the second effect of the Divine Dark Rule along with his main cirction method. In the next second, his cultivation speed increased by 1000 times. (10 times from the Jade Bracelet and 100 times from the Absorption Effect). Since Ajax was using one skill after another without sparing any Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax wanted to replenish his Divine Essence of Nature. The fastest way to do that was by using the Divine Dark Rule in the Dark Elemental Region because it contains the purest form of the Dark Essence of Nature and Ajax could absorb a huge quantity of the Dark Essence of Nature. [Divine Dark Rule - Darkness Absorption] Ajax didn''t stop there as he activated one of the skills under his Divine Dark Rule. With the activation of that skill, the pure Dark Essence of Nature rushed into Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. [Darkness Absorption - Heal] ''Swoosh'' Sensing that he had absorbed enough Dark Essence of Nature, Ajax used that Divine Essence of Nature in his body to heal his injuries from before. [Darkness Absorption - Boost] With the help of the skill [Darkness Absorption], Ajax could not only heal his injuries with the absorbed Essence of Nature but he could also temporarily boost his strength. Even though it won''t be as powerful as the boost from his bloodlines, for the current situation, Ajax needed it. Since Ajax didn''t have a real body in the Elemental Spirit World, he could not use the Bloodlines because they were connected to the physical body in which there is blood. [Lightning Snakes] Just as Ajax finished executing the initial part of his n, the Elemental Spirit Emperor had already caught up to him and without wasting any time, he used the same skill that he had used from the beginning. ''It looks like he only has the [Lightning Snakes] skill other than the Devouring Skill that lets him copy the skills that he swallows.'' On the other hand, Ajax was the true owner of that skill. So, he knew exactly how to dodge that attack. So, he didn''t even put much effort into dodging the iing Lightning Snakes as he re-checked his n for onest time. After seeing that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was using the same type of skill again and again because the number of cultivators entering this particr elemental spirit world was already very low. Among them, the Elemental Spirit Emperor won''t attack everyone and would only choose some special cultivators like Ajax. Maybe Ajax was the first cultivator that woke up the Elemental Spirit Emperor from his sleep. Whatever the reasons were, Ajax was almost sure that the Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t swallow any attacks other than his Lightning Snake. "Human, it is time to say goodbye." The Elemental Spirit Emperor seemed like he was tired of ''Cat and Mouse chase'' and wanted to finish Ajax before going back to whatever he was supposed to do. ''Anyway, since everything is ready, it is time to disappear.'' As for Ajax, he no longer bothered to talk with the Elemental Spirit Emperor because he knew all his questions would be answered by the system once he defeated the Elemental Spirit Emperor. So, he was intent on defeating the Elemental Spirit Emperor as soon as possible and finishing his first trip to this particr elemental spirit world. [Divine Dark Rule - Darkness Integration] ''Swoosh'' With a single thought, Ajax disappeared into the night of the Dark Elemental Region. It was the first effect of his Divine Dark Rule which helps him merge with the darkness and helps him hide from his enemies in the insight. ''Since he could not outrun me, he decided to hide now?'' The Elemental Spirit Emperor was getting frustrated at Ajax''s antics as he entered the Dark Elemental Region. From his perspective, no matter what Ajax does, Ajax cannot defeat him. That''s the reason he felt Ajax was using these cheap tricks. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Let''s see where you are hiding now." The Elemental Spirit Emperor knew that Ajax was within the Dark Elemental Region so he started looking for Ajax. [Divine Dark Rule: Shadow Travel] ''Swoosh'' Just as the Elemental Spirit Emperor started looking for Ajax, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly used one of the skills under his Divine Dark Rule and appeared beside the Elemental Spirit Emperor. [Divine Dark Rule: Nightmare Creator] Since Ajax had just gone into hiding, the Elemental Spirit Emperor was not expecting Ajax tounch an attack on him. Hence, he didn''t have any time to dodge or block Ajax''s attack and Ajax seeded in his attack. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host is sessful in creating a nightmare for the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Ding, The nightmare for the Elemental Spirit Emperor willst for 2 minutes. Even though Ajax knew that he seeded in his attack, with the confirmation from the system, he was satisfied with his n. ''Since I have sessfully created the nightmare for him, it is time to execute the next part of my n.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax continued with his n. ''Soulsher,e out. It is your time to shine.'' With a single thought, Ajax''s special legend-grade sword appeared in his hands with a sh. Ajax had already tested that in his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, he could summon the weapons that were stored in his Divine Spirit Consciousness. So, he had included that in his n and it was also the main part of his n because the Soulsher does additional damage to the soul and spirit-rted beings. Hence, Ajax was sure that with the help of the Soulsher, he could kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor. Chapter 1851 Killing the Elemental Spirit Emperor (2) Chapter 1851 Killing the Elemental Spirit Emperor (2) The Soulsher Sword in Ajax''s hand was a special peak-Legend Grade Sword and when ites to dealing damage to the Spirit-type beings, it could be considered a high-level Mythical Grade Sword. Moreover, Ajax has activated his Divine Dark Rule and boosted his battle prowess by multiple folds. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Right now, Ajax believed that as long as he used the Demi-God level Sword Technique on the Elemental Spirit Emperor, there was no way for the Elemental Spirit Emperor to survive. Hence, Ajax was fully confident about his n and once everything went ording to his n, he didn''t waste any time as he directly used the sword technique. [Thousand des Torrent] ''Swoosh'' With a swing of his sword, dozens of sword waves were created; however, Ajax didn''t stop there as he swung his sword a few more times to bring out the true form of the technique which was to create 1000 des. ''Whoosh'' As soon as Ajax sessfully created 1000 des, they formed into a deadly torrent that rushed towards the Elemental Spirit Emperor. "Huh? A new attack?" As for the Elemental Spirit Emperor, he was surprised to see a powerful attacking towards him and the reason why he was surprised was because he was not expecting Ajax to attack him. Nevertheless, the Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t have any worried look on his face; instead, his surprised look was reced with an excited look. "So, you are still hiding some powerful skills. It looks like my time is not wasted on you until now." With a little chuckle, the Elemental Spirit Emperor widely opened his mouth as though he wanted to swallow the iing Thousand des Torrent in a single gulp. ''Th-this idiot is confident in swallowing my attack?'' Seeing how confident the Elemental Spirit Emperor was regarding the devouring of the Thousand des Torrent, Ajax was shocked for a moment. ''Let''s not fret about it and continue with the n.'' Ajax shook his head as he decided to continue with the n because he was confident about it. ''I will have only one chance to kill him and if I miss it, I can''t get another such opportunity.'' Ajax knew that if he failed his first opportunity, the Elemental Spirit Emperor wouldn''t give him the same opportunity. So, he was very serious about it and waiting for the right time to execute the final part of his n. ''Swoosh'' ''Ugh'' On the other hand, the Elemental Spirit Emperor steadied his position while waiting for the Thousand des Torrent with his mouth wide open. ''Swoosh'' Soon, the torrent reached the Elemental Spirit Emperor and to Ajax''s surprise, the Elemental Spirit Emperor didn''t have any problem slowing the torrent slowly but steadily. ''Since the penultimate move doesn''t seem to do any damage to him, it is time for my ultimate move.'' Ajax was observing everything with a calm andposed look as he waited for the Elemental Spirit Emperor to swallow thest de of the torrent. ''This is it.'' Just as the Elemental Spirit Emperor was about to swallow thest de of the torrent, Ajax''s eyes shone because it was the time and the opportunity that he was talking about. [Celestial Void Step] Without wasting any time, Ajax used his movement technique and disappeared with a swoosh. ''Swoosh'' With another swoosh, he appeared right in front of the Elemental Spirit Emperor with his sword. "Since you like devouring everything, eat this too." Even though Ajax''s voice looked calm, one could sense his desperation because he was worried that if this attack failed, Ajax believed it would be almost impossible to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor. Of course, Ajax had a few other trump cards that he didn''t use; however,pared to his current move, Ajax believed those trump cards would be useless on the Elemental Spirit Emperor. In short, Ajax believed that this would be his final opportunity to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor. So, he didn''t want to miss it. "Uwh¡­" ''Puchi'' The Elemental Spirit Emperor was unable to move from his ce because he was still devouring and of course, Ajax noticed that the Elemental Spirit Emperor wouldn''t be moving from his ce while devouring. Thus, Ajax didn''t mind when he saw that the Elemental Spirit Emperor was devouring his attack [Thousand des Torrent]. The Elemental Spirit Emperor was not in a position to do anything against the iing Soulher other than getting pierced into his mouth. The Soulsher pierced through the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s mouth easily as though it was going through a piece of jelly. ''sh'' ''Did I get him?'' As for Ajax, even though everything went ording to his n, he was still worried about the tricks under the Elemental Spirit Emperor''s sleeve. Moreover, there was no notification from the system as he silently prayed for the notification to arrive soon. ''Ding, The host has sessfully killed the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host forpleting the new mission: Kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor. ''Ding, As a reward forpleting the mission, the system will be upgraded. ''Ding, The system is being upgraded. Please wait until it finishes its upgrade. ''Ding, Estimated upgrade time: One month. ''Ding, During this period, the host can still use some of the system features; however, he cannot actively interact with it. Please be patient and focus onpleting your goals. Just as Ajax was waiting for confirmation from the system that he had sessfully killed the Elemental Spirit Emperor, he received a series of system notifications. ''Phew¡­finally, I killed it.'' Looking at the corpse of the Elemental Spirit Emperor in front of him, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he checked the other system notifications. ''Swoosh'' While he was checking out the system notifications, the corpse of the Elemental Spirit Emperor turned into tiny light particles and entered Ajax''s body. Of course, Ajax noticed it; however, he didn''t think much about it because he knew that those tiny light particles were being absorbed by the system to upgrade itself. Chapter 1852 Elemental Spirit Worlds Mystery Chapter 1852 Elemental Spirit World''s Mystery "Thanks for epting us, Summoning master." More than 30 Elemental Spirits bowed to Ajax as they thanked him for forming contracts with them. Even though Ajax had only formed an unofficial contract with them, these elemental spirits were more than happy and were looking forward to their uing adventures with the summoning master. After killing the Elemental Spirit Emperor, Aja returned to the location where he first met the Elemental Spirit Emperor. As Ajax took more than a couple hours to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor, more and more elemental spirits gathered and waited for Ajax along with the Elemental Spirits whom Ajax had already formed contracts with. When Ajax saw arge group of elemental spirits waiting for him, he was both surprised and excited; however, he suppressed his emotions and without wasting any time, Ajax started forming contracts with them. "Summoning Master, if you don''t mind me asking, can you tell us what happened to the Elemental Spirit Emperor?" After hesitating for a moment, one of the elemental spirits asked Ajax about the Elemental Spirit Emperor. When the other elemental spirits heard that question, they also became curious as they looked at Ajax to hear his answer. "There won''t be an Elemental Spirit Emperor in this world anymore." Ajax said in a nonchnt tone, making all the Elemental Spirits around him shocked. Even though the human in front of them was a Divine Human, it was just a Spirit Consciousness and could not disy his full battle prowess in that form. As the residents of the Elemental Spirit World, they knew very well how strong the Elemental Spirit Emperor was and if their summoning master was able to kill such a powerful Elemental Spirit, then, how powerful would he be with his real body? Thinking about that, the respect and excitement in the hearts of Ajax''s new elemental spirits increased by multiple folds. N?v(el)B\\jnn Since Ajax was much more powerful than they imagined, their starting point would be much better than many other elemental spirits that formed contracts with the other Summoners. Time continued to pass and after taking care of the Elemental Spirit Emperor, there were no other obstacles for Ajax as he continued to form contracts with the batches of elemental spirits that kepting towards him. In no time, the time for his Divine Spirit Consciousness to leave the Elemental Spirit World hase as Ajax had already recalled all his newly contacted Elemental Spirits. ''With this new batch of Elemental Spirits, I have formed contracts with nearly 500 Elemental Spirits.'' Looking at therge number of Elemental Spirits around him, Ajax could not help but be excited. ''Show me how many elemental spirits, right now?'' At the same time, while waiting for some of his elemental spirits to return, Ajax checked out the number of elemental spirits he had formed contracts within the system''s interface. ''Ding, The total number of Elemental Spirits: 499 (Official and Unofficial), (Old and New). ''I just need one more elemental spirit and I will have exactly 500 of them.'' Ajax knew that he had nearly 500 elemental spirits under him; however, he didn''t know that he was short of only one elemental spirit. Nevertheless, Ajax was fully satisfied with the number of elemental spirits that he formed contracts with during his current trip to the Elemental Spirit World. So, one less elemental spirit to reach a round figure of 500 didn''t bother Ajax much as he looked at the remaining time left to leave the Elemental Spirit World. ''There are still a couple of minutes left before my Divine Spirit Consciousness returns to my main body.'' ''If possible, I should try to form a contract with at least another elemental spirit.'' Since he was short of only one elemental spirit, Ajax wanted to look for another elemental spirit to form the contract with. However, he knew that it was very hard for him to find thatst elemental spirit in such a short time. Moreover, he had already formed contracts with all the elemental spirits within thousands of kilometers around him. Nevertheless, Ajax was not the type to just give up because of the time restraints as he started working on it without wasting any time. ''Everyone, you can do whatever you want to do. I will meet you again after leaving the elemental spirit world.'' Of course, Ajax didn''t forget to transmit a few words to his newly contracted elemental spirits while using his movement technique. Since Ajax had already formed the contracts with them, the elemental spirits would be automatically teleported with Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form and be a part of it. So, Ajax was not worried about being very far away from his elemental spirits and that''s also the reason why he didn''t bother to bring them with him as their speed would be much less than his speed. ''Celestial Void Steps'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' While blinking at lightning speed for hundreds of kilometers in less than a second, Ajax travelled a veryrge distance in a minute. However, he was unable to find a single elemental spirit along the way, making him frown and think at the same time, ''Don''t tell me there would be around 500 elemental spirits in an Elemental Spirit World.'' Even though Ajax had only formed the contracts with 480 elemental spirits, there was the Elemental Spirit Emperor that Ajax killed along with other summoners that came before Ajax to form the contract with them, making the total number of Elemental Spirits that Ajax saw in this Elemental Spirit World to be 500. ''What am I thinking? How could an Elemental Spirit World that was muchrger than a Greater World could only hold 500 elemental spirits?'' Of course, before Ajax could continue with his previous thought, he rejected it saying that he was thinking something crazy. As an Elemental Spirit World that is connected to the Floating Ind, a special treasure or an artifact that was much greater than a Greater Human World, Ajax was strongly against his crazy thought. ''Wait a second¡­what if my crazy thought was not really crazy but true?'' Chapter 1853 Elemental Spirit Worlds Mystery (2) Chapter 1853 Elemental Spirit World''s Mystery (2) ''Wait a second¡­what if my crazy thought was not really crazy but true?'' When Ajax thought more about it, he started to change his perspective on what he thought a few seconds ago. Since the Elemental Spirit World belongs to the Mysterious Floating Ind, Ajax startedparing the Elemental Spirit World with the other Elemental Spirit Worlds that he visited. ''Other than the richness of the essence of nature and the elemental spirits with cultivation and skills, there is an Elemental Spirit Emperor. So, it might be possible that there are a limited number of Elemental Spirits in this World.'' Even though it was not proven 100 percent, Ajax started believing that there were no more elemental spirits. ''Since there is not much time left before I leave this world, I am not worried about forming a contract with another elemental spirit just to have 500 elemental spirits.'' Although Ajax was not fully convinced about the limited number of elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World, he gave up on his search for the elemental spirits in the world as he had only left less than a minute. Right now, the actual thing is that Ajax was worried about his other two trips to the Elemental Spirit World. That''s right! Since Ajax was still left with two more chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World, he was worried about them because there were no more elemental spirits left in the Elemental Spirit World for him to form the contract with. ''Do I have to look for another Elemental Spirit World for the next two chances? But¡­.'' If it was before. Ajax would not have thought much about it; however, things are a little different now. First, Ajax is like the Elemental Spirits in this Elemental Spirit World because not only do they have their own cultivation but they have even awakened their Elemental Ascendance. Even though Ajax could help his elemental spirits awaken their Elemental Ascendance, the number of Elemental Spirits that he was nning to form a contract with would make things difficult for him. If it were one or two elemental spirits, it would have been an easy thing for him with the help of his [Tree of Blessing]. Therefore, if Ajax could form contracts with simr Elemental Spirits in this Elemental Spirit World, it wouldn''t waste any of his time in nurturing his new elemental spirits. ''I wonder whether I can get an answer from the system?'' Since the system is currently undergoing an upgrade, it could not actively interact with Ajax; however, he could still use the system''s features that don''t require the system''s active involvement. Hence, Ajax wondered whether he could get an answer regarding the elemental spirit world. ''System, are there a limited number of elemental spirits in an elemental spirit world?'' ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, Ajax decided to give it a try by asking the system and the moment he finished his question, he disappeared from the Elemental Spirit World and returned to the Floating Ind. ''Ding, The number of Elemental Spirits in any Elemental Spirit World is limited. ''Ding, The exact number of Elemental Spirits for each Elemental Spirit World differs depending on many different factors. Before Ajax could recover from the sudden transfer of his Divine Spirit Consciousness into his main body, he received two system notifications. Even though the system was currently undergoing an upgrade, there was arge amount of information stored in it that could be essed by Ajax without the active participation of the system. Of course, if there was no answer to Ajax''s question, then there would be no response from the system when it was undergoing an upgrade and if it was not, then it would inform Ajax that it didn''t know about it. As the system that helped Ajax a lot in cultivation and allowed him to form contracts with the Elemental Spirits with ease, Ajax could guess that there would be an answer to his question regarding the Elemental Spirit World. Hence, Ajax was not surprised at the fact that he got a response from the system. However, what made him surprised was that his crazy thought about the limited elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World was absolutely right. ''If all the summoners from the human world form contracts with all the Elemental Spirits, then what?'' Ajax took a few moments to digest his new revtion about the Elemental Spirit World and asked the system about it. ''Ding, However, whenever the summoners form contracts with the elemental spirits and take them away from the Elemental Spirit World, new Elemental Spirits will be born after a specific time. ''Ding, As for the respawning time of the new Elemental Spirits also varies from world to world. Without any dy, Ajax received two system notifications which cleared Ajax''s doubts for the moment. Of course, when he thought about it, a few more doubts appeared in his head like who will respawn them and from where they will respawn. As far as Ajax remembers, the elemental spirits were born from the purest essence of nature from the specific ces in the Elemental Spirit World. However, Ajax was not bothered about them as he was sure that the system would ask him to be more powerful and ascend to the Heavenly Realm to understand more about it. ''Phew¡­so, there is a respawning time for the Elemental Spirits.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know the exact respawning time for the Elemental Spirits, he heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that the Elemental Spirits would appear again in the Elemental Spirit World. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "But the current problem is, how should I find out whether the respawning of the Elemental Spirits ispleted in the Elemental Spirit World." Since Ajax has more than six years left in the Floating Ind, he knows that he has enough time left to re-enter the Elemental Spirit World; however, he has no way to confirm whether all the Elemental Spirits were respawned in the Elemental Spirit World. "Hey son why are you having such a look on your face when you have just returned from the Elemental Spirit World " Chapter 1854 Elemental Spirit Worlds Mystery (3) Chapter 1854 Elemental Spirit World''s Mystery (3) As Ajax was thinking about what he had to do regarding his new two chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World, his father, Aron''s words made hime out of those thoughts. "Father, I wonder if you know about the Elemental Spirit World''s mystery?" Seeing his father, Ajax''s eyes lit up because, among his people and beasts he knew, his father was the most knowledgeable person. Not only was he the previous system host but he also underwent two reincarnations. Even though in both lives he didn''t live for long but lived only a couple of centuries, he had a vast knowledge about the universe and many other things that even the powerhouses of the universe didn''t know of, thanks to the system. Hence, Ajax believed that his father must know about the respawning rate of the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World and asked about it. "There are so many unknown mysteries regarding the Elemental Spirit World and which one are you talking about?" Aron squinted as he waited for Ajax to give more information on the thing that was bothering him. Ajax was not surprised to hear that because he already knew that the humans had only gained very little knowledge about the Elemental Spirit Worlds and they still had a lot to learn and find out about them. Nevertheless, he didn''t ask about other mysteries of the Elemental Spirit World; instead, he only focused on the main issue he was having right now and started exining everything that happened in the Elemental Spirit World. "You formed contracts with all the elemental spirit worlds in the Elemental Spirit World?" After listening to Ajax, Aron was momentarily shocked and asked Ajax about it. Ajax didn''t speak but nodded his head. "I already know you could form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits in a short time; however, I didn''t expect you to be able to convince all the Elemental Spirits in the world." Aron was still in shock as he said those words and soon, his shocked expression changed into a proud one as he looked at his son. As a genius summoner in his past two lives, Aron was also able to form multiple contracts with Elemental Spirits in each one of his trips to the Elemental Spirit World; he knew how difficult it was to convince some Elemental Spirits. They would ask the summoner to pass their tests and each one of these tests differs from one Elemental Spirit to another. Hence, he was shocked by Ajax''s feat of forming contracts with all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. "So, now you are worried about your two more chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World." Nevertheless, Aron didn''t waste any time as he directly came to the point, "If you are worried about the respawning time of the elemental spirits, worry not. They will be respawned the moment your spirit consciousness leaves the Elemental Spirit World." "Huh? They will be respawned instantly?" As soon as he heard those words, Ajax''s uneasiness disappeared and his face was covered with an ear-to-ear smile. However, that didn''tst for long as he started thinking about something. ''If the Elemental Spirits were respawned instantly, then the number of Elemental Spirits in this particr Elemental Spirit World is less than 500.'' n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Previously, Ajax believed that there were 500 Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World and among them, he formed contracts with 477 and killed one he believed that the remaining elemental spirits were taken away by the other summoners who entered the Floating Ind before him. ''Maybe that particr Elemental Spirit World only has 477 Elemental Spirits.'' Nevertheless, Ajax directly came to that conclusion as he continued thinking in his head, ''Since it is a special Elemental Spirit World, anything is possible.'' With that line of thinking, Ajax decided to ask his father, "Father, in the regr Elemental Spirit World, how many Elemental Spirits are present?" "Even if you didn''t ask, I would have informed you about these things because these are the mandatory things a Summoner should learn." Even though Aron was inside Ajax all this time, he didn''t share much of his knowledge with Ajax because each word he spoke to Ajax in the past consumed so much of his energy. Hence, unless it was required, Aron didn''t speak to Ajax a lot, much less share his vast knowledge about the things that Ajax would have found useful in his journey. Also, the mandatory things that Aron spoke about were the things that were taught to the young summoners from the famous, strong and powerful families and sects in the Greater Worlds. As for Ajax, he was born in a barren Normal Human World where the most knowledgeable person, his Grandfather also didn''t know much of these things because he didn''t travel to the other Normal Worlds, not to mention the Greater Worlds. Of course, it was not that Baron didn''t want to travel outside his world; instead, Baron didn''t have a chance to leave the world as he bore the full responsibility of protecting the World from the otherworldly demons. Not only the demons, but many internal conspiracies were happening within the Purple Stone World, and he wanted to spend some time with his only daughter until she was powerful enough to protect herself. "The number of Elemental Spirits that were in an Elemental Spirit World varies depending on the grade of the world." Even though Aron had some important things to do, he put them aside for Ajax because, for him, nothing was more important than his son. Nevertheless, Aron felt it was not toote for Ajax to learn them now. Hence, he started exining the things that Ajax was supposed to learn before he entered the Elemental Spirit World for the first time. "For an Elemental Spirit World that was connected to a Smaller World, there would be around 10 Elemental Spirits and 10-100 Elemental Spirits for a Normal World depending on the level of the World." "What?" Aron''s words made Ajax''s jaws drop. Chapter 1855 Elemental Spirit Worlds Mystery (4) Chapter 1855 Elemental Spirit World''s Mystery (4) The Elemental Spirit Worlds are unique to only human worlds and every world is divided into Small, Normal and Greater Worlds depending on the energy absorbed by the World Core inside the Core Realm of any world. As the grade of the world increases, the more powerful the specific world would be and more summoners would be born. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The higher the grade of the world, the more number of summoners would be born and thus, needed more number of Elemental Spirits to form contracts with. Thus, a Smaller Human World only has 10 Elemental Spirits at one particr and since it was a Smaller Elemental Spirit World, it won''t be that big for the summoner to search for the Elemental Spirits. Of course, it would still take a lot of time for the summoners to search for the Elemental Spirits in those worlds because no matter how small they were,pared to the other Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Normal and Greater Human Worlds, they were still worlds and it would take a lot of time for them to search the Elemental Spirits. "What?" Aron''s words made Ajax''s jaws drop because the number of Elemental Spirits for the Smaller and Normal Elemental Spirit Worlds were much lesser than he imagined. In the past, Ajax used to imagine there would be thousands of Elemental Spirits in each Elemental Spirit World; however, his view changed after seeing there were less than 500 Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind. But now, the number of Elemental Spirits for different graded worlds shocked Ajax as he never expected it to be that low. Because, if there were only 10 Elemental Spirits in a Smaller Elemental Spirit World, and more than 10 summoners entered the world at once, then there would be someone who wouldn''t be forming a contract with the Elemental Spirit. Even though the number of Elemental Spirits in a Normal Elemental Spirit World was high, the number of Summoners in a Normal Human World were also high. So, there would always be someone who would be not able to form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits despite entering the Elemental Spirit World. ''So, this is what Grandfather was talking about.'' Ajax, who grew up in the poorest province in the Purple Stone World, it was already a great thing for someone to awaken their summoning talent to enter the Elemental Spirit World. Despite entering, 80 percent of these young summoners from the Zrochester Province were unable to form contracts with the Elemental Spirit in the Elemental Spirit World. Since there were only a limited number of Elemental Spirits in each Elemental Spirit World, the young summoners from the Zrochester province could not stand a chance with the young summoners from the other provinces. Hence, he finally understood why the young summoners were unable to form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits and came to the conclusion that it was not entirely their fault. ''At least, I was lucky enough to not encounter the yellow summoners during my trip to the Elemental Spirit Worlds.'' At the same time, Ajax came to this conclusion as he asked his father, "What about the Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Greater Human Worlds?" Maybe a few summoners might have entered when Ajax entered the Elemental Spirit World; however,pared to them, the duration in which Ajax could stay in the Elemental Spirit World was much longer. So, they might have formed or not formed the contracts with the Elemental Spirits and left the world before Ajax could encounter them. Nevertheless, Ajax was not bothered to think much about them and learned more about the Elemental Spirit World from his father. "As for a Greater World, it would be above 100. As for the exact number, no one knows but it was believed that there might be 1000 of them." Aron waited for Ajax to digest the information about the Elemental Spirit World before answering his question about the Greater Elemental Spirit World. For a regr Emperor Realm Cultivator, when he was in his Spirit Consciousness Form, it would already be difficult to cover the entire Normal Elemental Spirit World. Hence, when ites to the Greater Elemental Spirit World, even for the top powerhouses of the Universe, it would be impossible to cover the entire Elemental Spirit World in their trip. Moreover, the main purpose of their trip to the Elemental Spirit World is to form a contract with one or more Elemental Spirits and not to take the census for them. "However, if there are only 477 Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World connected to this Floating Ind, I think you should enter the known Elemental Spirit Worlds connected to the Greater Human Worlds that have more than 800 Elemental Spirits." In the past, Aron was not as good as Ajax at forming the contract with the Elemental Spirits even with the help of the system and now, he didn''t have the help of the System and he knew he could only form contracts with the limited number of Elemental Spirits. As for Ajax, Aron knew it waspletely different from him and could form contracts with all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. As a father, Aron wanted his son to form a contract with as many elemental spirits as possible. Thus, he suggested Ajax not waste his time in this Elemental Spirit World that only has 477 Elemental Spirits and promised to bring Ajax to an Elemental Spirit World that had a minimum of 800 Elemental Spirits. "Father, I forgot to mention something about the Elemental Spirits in this world." Hearing Aron''s words, Ajax knew what his father must be thinking in his head because for a summoner, having more Elemental Spirits means, having more power. However, Ajax didn''t have any thoughts of going to the Elemental Spirit World that his father wanted; instead, he wanted to enter the Floating Ind''s Elemental Spirit World. "Huh?" Aron became curious as he waited for his son to continue, "All the Elemental Spirits in this world have awakened their Elemental Ascendance." Chapter 1856 Not a Genius? Chapter 1856 Not a Genius? "All the Elemental Spirits in this world have awakened their Elemental Ascendance." "What? What did you say?" Hearing Ajax''s words, Aron was shocked and was unable to believe it. All the cultivators in this universe had only one goal in their life and it was to sessfully undergo the tribtion before ascending to the Heavenly Realm. For humans, it is Heavenly Human Realm, for demons, it is Heavenly Demon Realm and for Spirit Beasts, it is Heavenly Bestial Realm. Compared to the Demons and the Spirit Beasts, the humans, who have sessfully awakened their Summoning Talent and formed contracts with the Elemental Spirits have an additional task toplete to trigger the Lightning Tribuation for the ascension. And it was none other than letting their contracted Elemental Spirits, whether it was an official or unofficial elemental spirit,prehend or awaken the Elemental Ascendance. Moreover, it was not just awakening the Elemental Ascendance but the Elemental Spirits had to increase the percentage of the Elemental Ascendance to 100 percent. The more Elemental Spirits a Summoner has, the more time it would take for him to trigger the Lightning Tribtion, making it difficult for the humans to trigger the tribtionpared to the other two races. Also, just because a Summoner was taking a long time to help his Elemental Spirits with their Elemental Ascendance, the humans who didn''t awaken the Summoning talent won''t be having an easy time. Compared to the Summoners, these humans without any Summoning Talent would have a hard time increasing their cultivation as their understanding of the essence of nature and elements in nature was much lesser than the Summoners. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Nevertheless, even with these kinds of hardships, Summoners didn''t mind going through the hardships because the Elemental Spirits they formed a contract with would help them a lot in their adventures and increase their survival ratepared to the other two races. Of course, that doesn''t mean the Summoners would want many elemental spirits under them because the more Elemental Spirits they form the contracts with, the harder and longer it would take for them to trigger the Lightning Tribtion. Hence, most of the summoners would only form official contracts and not bother about the unofficial contracts as they won''t give them any official skills. However, the Elemental Spirits from the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind, not only did they have a King Realm cultivation but at the same time, they have all awakened their Elemental Ascendance. Of course, just because their Elemental Spirits awakened their Elemental Ascendances with one percent doesn''t make everything easy for the summoners as they still have to increase that percentage to 100 to meet the requirements. Hence, when Aron heard Ajax''s words about the Elemental Spirits of this specific Elemental Spirit World awakening their Elemental Ascendance, greatly shocked him. "Ajax, are you sure about it? Does all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World awaken their Elemental Ascendance?" Aron was still unable to believe Ajax''s words despite knowing that Ajax wouldn''t lie to him. The actual reason why Aron was unable to believe Ajax''s words was that when he first appeared in this universe, he was a genius summoner who would almost reach the level of a powerhouse of the universe. Even with such an insane strength at a young age, Aron didn''t know about such a precious elemental spirit world where all the elemental spirits have their Elemental Ascendances awakened. Back then, Aron knew about the Floating Ind and even the Elemental Spirit World connected to it; however, there was no information about the Elemental Spirits having awakened their own Elemental Ascendances. If he knew about it, no matter how busy he was killing the demons, he would have paid a visit to the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind. "Father, I am telling you the truth." Ajax could see the shock in Aron''s eyes as he strongly nodded his head while saying, "All the Elemental Spirits that I formed the contract with, have already awakened their Elemental Ascendances with one percent." "..." Seeing the seriousness in Ajax''s eyes, Aron remained silent for a moment as he silently thought in his head, ''It looks like I was still miles away from being a powerhouse of the universe in my first life.'' Finally, Aron realized that he was not the genius that he used to think he was in the past. ''I was being proud of myself at nothing.'' Aron shook his head as he bitterly smiled before saying to Ajax, "Son, thank you for sharing such good news about the Elemental Spirits. With my cultivation, I can enter the Elemental Spirit World five times and form the official contract with five elemental spirits." Soon, Aron stopped thinking about the past as he finally decided to look for the future. After getting a top-notch physical body, Aron''s cultivation has reached the Emperor Realm in no time. Being an Emperor Realm Cultivator, Aron, who was yet to enter the Elemental Spirit World, could enter the Elemental Spirit World five times for all the major stages of cultivation before Emperor Realm. Soldier Realm, Commander Realm, General Realm, King Realm and Emperor Realm. For each realm, a summoner could enter the Elemental Spirit World once and thus, Aron could enter the Elemental Spirit World five times in a row. "Father, it is me who should thank you for sharing the information about the respawn rate of the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World." Ajax smiled in response to his father''s words as he thanked him before saying, "Father, you can use your chances to enter the Elemental Spirit World to form contracts with more Elemental Spirit Worlds." "Also, you don''t need to worry about the resources for nurturing your Elemental Spirits asI will take care of them." With the resources that Ajax could get from the special trees in his Inner World, thest thing that he was worried about was the cultivation resources and he also didn''t want his father to worry about it. Thus, he asked his father to go all out and form contracts with more Elemental Spirits. Chapter 1857 Celestial Spirit Consciousness Chapter 1857 Celestial Spirit Consciousness One of the most important resources for increasing the awakening percentage for the Elemental Ascenances of the Elemental Spirits was the Giant Elemental Crystals. Even though the number of Giant Elemental Crystals required gradually increases with the awakening percentage of the Elemental Ascendance, Ajax had already umted lots of Giant Elemental Crystals belonging to different elements. Also, after leaving the Floating Ind, Ajax would be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm belonging to the Celestial Dawn Sect and ording to the information he had about that realm, it was filled with lots of Mythical Grade cultivation resources which could not only help the cultivators but also the Elemental Spirits. Moreover, Ajax was nning to enter the Dark Region of the Universe to explore the secrets hidden over there and he was sure that he would be getting lots of different types of crystals of various grades which he could merge into Giant Crystals. Hence, Ajax assured his father not to worry about the cultivation resources from now on as they could only get more and more of them in their uing adventures. "Of course, I know." Aron, with his current cultivation of the low-level Emperor Realm along with his past lives experience, could be considered a powerful cultivator and he already knew about Ajax''s uing ns for the Celestial Dawn Realm and the exploration of the Dark Region. Moreover, he was confident in getting his own cultivation resources in the Floating Ind, Celestial Dawn Realm and even in the Dark Region. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om However, he still knew that he needed Ajax''s help in merging the low-level elemental crystals he could get by killing the Wraiths in the Dark Region and other special cultivation resources that were exclusive to Ajax''s inner world. Also, when ites to taking his son''s help in increasing cultivation and power, Aron is not ashamed or embarrassed about it because the sooner he gets more powerful the less he will be dependent on Ajax and the more helpful he could be to his son. At the same time, he could find his wife along with his son to reunite the entire family. "Hehe" Hearing Aron''s reply, Ajax smiled as he urged his father to enter the Elemental Spirit World to form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits while he guarded the body. ''Nods'' Nodding his head, Aron didn''t waste any time as he sat cross-legged and soon, his spirit consciousness entered the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind. ''Swoosh'' As soon as his Spirit Consciousness entered the Elemental Spirit World, Aron didn''t want to waste any of his time because he had a limited time to form the contracts with the Elemental Spirits before he returned to his body. ''T_this..this spirit consciousness is¡­'' Actually, the first thing Aron wanted to do after entering the Elemental Spirit World was to search for the Elemental Spirit and he was even ready for it. However, he feltpletely different in his Spirit Consciousness Formpared to what he used to feel back in his two lives in the past. The appearance of Aron''s spirit consciousness form was not as powerful and solid as Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness; however, it was many times better than the spirit consciousness of those genius summoners from the top sects of the Universe. Generally, almost all the spirit consciousness forms of the summoners would be transparent without any colour and look weaker and as their cultivation increased, they tend to be a little powerful; however, it won''t make much of a difference. Currently, Aron''s Spirit Consciousness Form waspletely in a pure white colour whereas Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form was Golden in colour. Of course, between their Spirit Consciousness Forms, Ajax''s was more powerful and solid and what''s more, Ajax could use his skills and cultivation techniques whereas Aron was unable to do it. ''It might be because of thest step in my body creation process.'' However, Aron knew the reason why his Spirit Consciousness Form waspletely different from the regr summoners. While creating a new body for his Soul Orb, Ajax used an Ethereal Lotus Seed to make the newly created body undergo a Celestial Transformation. That was the only possible thing that Aron could think of for the possibility of why his Spirit Consciousness Form became special. ''Anyway, I don''t have the time to think about these things now. I will focus on forming the contract with Elemental Spirits.'' Aron was curious about his Special Spirit Consciousness Form; however, he knew it was not the right time or right thing to do, in his current state. Hence, without wasting any time, Aron started working on the reason why his Spirit Consciousness Form had entered the Elemental Spirit World. ''Swoosh'' Even though it was his first time entering the Elemental Spirit World in this world, Aron had entered many times in his previous two lives and thus, he was not marvelled or mesmerized by the beauty of the Elemental Spirit World. Instead, he started his search for his first Elemental Spirit in his current life and at the same time, he wanted to check out the Elemental Ascendance of the Elemental Spirits. ''Swoosh'' In his previous two lives, Aron''s luck was neither good nor bad. It was just somewhere between them; however, in his new life, whether it was because the heavens finally took pity on him or because of his Celestial Body Transformation. It''s been less than five minutes and Aron has already found what he was searching for. What''s more? Instead of one, Aron found two Elemental Spirits that were slowly flying towards him. ''In my previous lives, the shortest time I took to find an Elemental Spirit was three hours and now, it''s been less than five minutes and I encountered not one but two Elemental Spirits.'' Aron became excited thinking about how lucky he was with his new body. ''Anyway, the main task is to convince them to form a contract with me.'' Aron quickly suppressed his excitement and focused on the main issue now and it was none other than forming the contracts with the Elemental Spirits in front of him. **** Chapter 1858 Celestial Spirit Consciousness (2) Chapter 1858 Celestial Spirit Consciousness (2) For any summoner, there was a set of problems in forming the contracts with the Elemental Spirits. They are: 1) Finding the Elemental Spirits. It is entirely dependent on the summoner''s luck in finding an Elemental Spirit. If the Summoners are very lucky, then, they find the elemental spirits in less than an hour and if not, they might even take more than half of their time in the Elemental Spirit World. 2) Convincing the Elemental Spirits. Just because a summoner found an elemental spirit in the Elemental Spirit World, that doesn''t mean, he could bring it back home with him. First, he had to convince it and get an acknowledgement of the elemental spirit that he found. Even though the Elemental Spirits want to leave the Elemental Spirit World, they just don''t want to leave with anyone because, once the contract between a Summoner and the Elemental Spirit is done, the Elemental Spirit''s life would be in the Summoner''s hands. Therefore, almost all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World would prepare some trials or tasks for the summoners toplete. While watching the summoners during the trial, the elemental spirits could conclude with the summoners before deciding whether to form a contract or not with them. 3) Choosing the Official and Unofficial Contract. This is a problem that summoners rarely face because it only exists when a Summoner encounters more than one elemental spirit. 3) Choosing the Official and Unofficial Contract. This is a problem that summoners rarely face because it only exists when a Summoner encounters more than one elemental spirit. It was because the Elemental Spirits preferred the official contract and the Summoner needed to focus his official contract on the unique and powerful elemental spirit. Thus, if he encounters more than one elemental spirit, he might lose one of the elemental spirits because the Elemental Spirits prefer the official contract over the unofficial contract. ''Since I have more than five slots to form the official contracts with the elemental spirits, I don''t have to worry about the third problem.'' Unlike the newbie summoners, Aron was not worried about the fight with the elemental spirits for the official and unofficial contracts; instead, he was more focused on the second problem which was to convince the elemental spirits into forming the contracts with him. "A Fire and Wind Elemental Spirits¡­I have to be careful and convince both the elemental spirits to form contacts with me." Looking at the iing elemental spirits, Aron could tell their elements judging their appearances and he liked both of them. When ites to elemental spirits, Aron never thought one was weak and the other was strong because he believed that there were only weak summoners and not weak elemental spirits. As long as it was an elemental spirit, it was the summoner''s duty to bring out the full potential of the elemental spirit. Moreover, just like Ajax, Aron has an elemental affinity with all the elements in nature and can form contracts with all types of elemental spirits. Hence, he was open to all types of elemental spirits in forming the contracts. ''Swoosh'' Both the Elemental Spirits and Aron stopped moving when the distance between them was only a couple of meters as they looked at each other. "I am¡­." "Pure Human, we are willing to form contracts with you." Before Aron could finish speaking, the Fire Elemental Spirit spoke to him, asking about forming the contracts with them. ''What?'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om When Aron heard those words, he was shocked and swallowed what he was going to say and looked at the Fire and Wind Elemental Spirits in disbelief. For an elemental spirit toe to him and initiate forming the contract with a summoner has never happened¡­at least for him in his two lives. So, he was surprised for a moment; however, he quickly covered the shocked look on his face as he continued to look at the two elemental spirits while thinking, ''Is this also a benefit of having undergone the Celestial Transformation?'' Once again, Aron thought of hisst step of the body creation and gave full credit to it. ''It looks like the Ethereal Lotus Seed was much more powerful than I had imagined.'' Even before Ajax could use that seed, Aron had heard about the Ethereal Lotus Seed; however. After experiencing the benefits of the Ethereal Lotus Seed one after another, Aron started understanding the grade of the Ethereal Lotus Seed was almost reaching the level of a Divine Grade. "So, shall we discuss about the official and unofficial contracts?" Since the two elemental spirits were ready to form the contracts with him, Aron wanted to use only one of his official slots in forming the contracts with the elemental spirits. It was not because Aron looked down on these elemental spirits; instead, he wanted to use only one official slot per his visit to the Elemental Spirit World. Just a few moments back, Aron was ready to use his two official slots in forming the contracts with the elemental spirits and he was nning to use his two new official elemental spirits to search for more elemental spirits just like how Ajax did to form the contracts with all the elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. It shows that both the father and son duo had the same frame of mind and thought the same. Thus, he was willing to be magnanimous with the first two elemental spirits he encountered and with the help of those two elemental spirits, Aron was confident in forming unofficial contracts with more elemental spirits. Of course, Aronpletely removed the time required to form the contract with an elemental spirit and it was because he had a strong feeling that time would be much less than what it used to be in the past. Therefore, Aron was sure that his n would work without a problem. "We will be happy to form a contract with a pure human like you. So, whether it was an official contract or an unofficial contract, it doesn''t matter to us." This time, it was the Wind Elemental Spirit that replied to Aron and at the same time, it looked at the Fire Elemental Spirit and asked, "Isn''t that right, me?" Chapter 1859 Celestial Spirit Consciousness (3) Chapter 1859 Celestial Spirit Consciousness (3) "For Elemental Spirits like us, forming a contract with you, a pure human is already considered a blessing. We will be content with anything you, the pure human, decide and all we want is a contract with you and put our future in your hands." The Fire Elemental Spirit nodded his head at the Wind Elemental Spirit''s words before exining the reason why they wanted to form the contract with Aron. The Wind Elemental Spirit and the Fire Elemental Spirit, both didn''t mind what type of contract they would be forming with the pure human in front of them. They only care about forming a contract with him because the human in front of them has a pure spirit consciousness form. "Pure Human?" Aron frowned a little as he looked at his own transparent body which was in a pure white colour and looked at the two elemental spirits in front of him. "Can you tell me more about this so-called Pure Human thing?" After hesitating for a little, Aron asked the two elemental spirits to share the knowledge about the Pure Human. Even though Aron didn''t want to waste his time a little while back, this so-called Pure Human thing has changed his ns. Since he was getting the free acknowledgement of the Elemental Spirits in forming the contracts with them, how could he not want to know more about it? By knowing more about it, Aron felt that he could make full use of his Pure Spirit Consciousness Form to make contracts with more Elemental Spirits. So, the Elemental Spirits started exining about it to the best of their knowledge. What does a pure spirit consciousness form mean? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ording to the knowledge in the heads of these Elemental Spirits from the special elemental spirit world, a human with a pure spirit consciousness form would take good care of his elemental spirits and the most important thing was he could have no bottlenecks in his cultivation. With no bottlenecks, as long as a cultivator puts some effort into his cultivation, he could reach the pinnacle of his cultivation in the universe and his chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm would be much higher than the regr summoners. Just like how all the cultivators in the universe wish to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm, these special elemental spirits also wish the same. Hence, when they saw someone who could fulfil their wishes, why would they hesitate in forming a contract with him? "Also, we sensed your descent on this Elemental Spirit World from a few kilometers away and thus, we were rushing to convince you to form the contracts with us." Another thing that shocked Aron was that these Elemental Spirits were not travelling to some ce on their work; instead, they were rushing to form the contract with him. "If you can sense my descent, then the other elemental spirits could also do the same, right?" Aron became excited when he thought about all the Elemental Spirits rushing towards him to form the contracts with him. He felt that just like his son, he would also empty all the elemental spirits from the Elemental Spirit World. However, soon, Aron''s thoughts were interrupted along with his n to brag in front of his son about forming the contracts with all the elemental spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. "I don''t think all the elemental spirits in this world could sense your presence." The Fire Elemental Spirit could somewhat sense Aron''s line of thoughts and decided to break it before he went to the next level of thought. "What?" Aron looked at the Elemental Spirits who continued to speak, "We were around a dozen kilometers away from you and we barely sensed your presence. So, we don''t think all the elemental spirits in the entire Elemental Spirit World could sense your presence." ''Sigh¡­I should have known better than anyone that my luck would remain the same even if I had the new body.'' Even though there were a few things that Aron was lucky about, when considering many things, Aron felt that he was not that lucky. So, after hearing the exnation from the Elemental Spirits, Aron got back his mentality of not getting excited at everything. Hence, Aron cleared all his thoughts in his head before asking some questions to the Elemental Spirits and started forming contracts with them. "me, I will form an official contract with you and as for Winde, I will go with an unofficial contract." Aron made things clear with the two elemental spirits who nodded their heads in understanding. The Fire Elemental Spirit was happy for getting an opportunity to form an official contract with the Pure Human and the Wind Elemental Spirit was envious; however, he didn''t show it on the face and decided to be happy that he was at least getting contracted with the Pure Human. ''Swoosh'' After getting acknowledgement from the two elemental spirits, Aron didn''t waste any time as he first started forming an official contract with the Fire Elemental Spirit. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, tiny white light particles flew off Aron''s Pure White Spirit Consciousness Form and entered into the Fire Elemental Spirit''s body. Time continued to pass and the process continued for nearly 10 minutes before the tiny white light particles that entered the Fire Elemental Spirit''s body transformed into a unique and mysterious rune. ''Whoosh'' Once the mysterious rune was formed, it released a blinding light at Aron before disappearing without a trace. ''T-the contract¡­was itplete just like that?'' Even though this kind of contracting process was novel to Aron, he could feel that bond between him and the Fire Elemental Spirit. He believed that, right now, if he wanted to kill the Fire Elemental Spirit, he could do so with a single thought. Of course, there was no way Aron was going to do that to test the contract with the Fire Elemental Spirit. "Thanks for the official contract, Summoning Master." On the other hand, me, the Fire Elemental Spirit, gave a knight''s bow to Aron and thanked him for the contract. Chapter 1860 Forming Contracts (1) Chapter 1860 Forming Contracts (1) ''I have sessfully formed my first contract in this life¡­Haha.'' Looking at the Fire Elemental Spirit in front of him, Aron could not help butugh in his head because he was greatly excited. Even though many summoners could easily form their first contract, Aron was not excited about it; instead, he was excited that he was able to form the contract in just 10 minutes. At this range, Aron believed that he could form a lot of contracts with the Elemental Spirits and by the time he finishes his five visits to the Elemental Spirit World, he would have an army of Elemental Spirits. "me, why don''t you go and search for more Elemental Spirits and bring them here to form contracts with me?" Aron didn''t form the contract with the Wind Elemental Spirit directly; instead, he sent the Fire Elemental Spirit away to search for more Elemental Spirits. me was excited about his first mission from his Summoning Master and rushed in a particr direction. "Now, let''splete our contract." After that, Aron formed an unofficial contract with the Wind Elemental Spirit before giving him the same order as the Fire Elemental Spirit which was to search for more elemental spirits to form the contracts with. After that, Aron formed an unofficial contract with the Wind Elemental Spirit before giving him the same order as the Fire Elemental Spirit which was to search for more elemental spirits to form the contracts with. As for Aron, he also started searching for the elemental spirits in a different direction from his elemental spirits. Of course, they agreed to meet again in the same ce after 20 hours. Even though he could stay for 24 hours, Aron decided to meet his elemental spirits again ahead of four hours because he had to form the contracts with the elemental spirits brought by his elemental spirits. Unlike Ajax, Aron still needs at least 10 minutes to form a contract with an elemental spirit and ording to his estimation, his two elemental spirits would gather more than 10 elemental spirits each. Hence, he believed that it would take nearly three hours and if he was lucky, his elemental spirits might bring more elemental spirits, which makes him need at least four hours. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om That''s why he chose 20 hours to meet at their rendezvous point. ¡­. ''I wonder how many Elemental Spirits fathers will form the contracts with?'' On the Floating Ind, Ajax passively absorbs the Divine Essence of Nature into the body while guarding his father''s body and silently thinking in his head. Ajax was looking forward to seeing how good his father''s new body would be. Even though Ajax didn''t know that his father had a Pure Spirit Consciousness thanks to the rare resources he had used in creating his father''s body, he was sure that his father''s new body would be special. ¡­ In the Elemental Spirit World, Time continued to pass and in a sh, the time limit that Aron had set had finallye. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Two groups of coloured silhouettes rushed to the rendezvous point set by Aron at their fastest speed from two different directions. "me, how many did you bring?" Eventually, the two groups met at the rendezvous point as the Wind Elemental Spirit asked the Fire Elemental Spirit with a fighting spirit in his eyes. These two Wind and Fire Elemental Spirits are friends and used topete a lot with one another from the time they met. Now, the Fire Elemental Spirit has got an official contract, making the Wind Elemental Spirit''s fighting spirit burn even more vigorously than before. Hence, as soon as they met, the Wind Elemental Spirit asked the Fire Elemental Spirit about the number of Elemental Spirits that he brought. "I brought 13 members. What about you?" The Fire Elemental Spirit didn''t be arrogant just because he got an official contract with the Pure Human as he answered the Wind Elemental Spirit''s question. "Haha¡­it looks like I won once again." Hearing the Fire Elemental Spirit''s reply, the Wind Elemental Spirit became happy as heughed out loud before answering, "I have brought 15 Elemental Spirits with me." "Of course, you will win this round." On the other hand, the Fire Elemental Spirit didn''t seem surprised as he exined, "With your speed, you can travel much faster and cover more ces than me." The basic trait of all the Wind Elemental Spirits was that their speed was top-notchpared to the other Elemental Spirits. So, the me Elemental Spirit knew he was at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, he didn''t give up and gave his best in gathering as many elemental spirits as possible and nearly caught up to the number of Elemental Spirit brought by the Wind Elemental Spirit. ''Swoosh'' "You have done well in bringing them here." From the distance, Aron flew towards them and praised his two contracted Elemental Spirits for their efforts in bringing 28 elemental spirits. "Summoning Master." The Fire and Wind Elemental Spirits became happy to see their Summoning Master and bowed their heads. ''There is a Pure Human that descended on our Elemental Spirit World.'' ''We have just appeared in this world and we are lucky enough to meet a Pure Human.'' ''We¡­ have to¡­at least form an unofficial contract with him.'' . . . As for the Elemental Spirits brought by Aron''s elemental spirits, they were pleasantly surprised and became excited at the sight of Aron''s pure white spirit consciousness form. At the same time, they were yearning to form a contract with him. "Everyone, get in a line. I will form a contract with everyone that''s here." Even though Aron was expecting that his two elemental spirits would bring a good number of Elemental Spirits with them, he was still pleasantly surprised to see 28 elemental spirits. At most, he was expecting there would be at least 15 or 16 elemental spirits but 28 waspletely out of his imagination. Nevertheless, Aron didn''t lose in his excitement and controlled it before focusing on the main issue which was to form the contracts with all the Elemental Spirits around him. "me, Wind, you two take charge of maintaining the line." Since all the Elemental Spirits wanted to form the contract with Aron, he knew they would rush at him at once. Thus, he ordered his first two contracted Elemental Spirits to take charge if the elemental spirit didn''t follow the order. Chapter 1861 Forming Contracts (2) ''Since there are still four more hours left for my first stay in the Elemental Spirit World, I canfortably form the contracts with all these Elemental Spirits.'' Aron didn''t waste any time as he started forming contracts with the Elemental Spirits that stood in the line. The two elemental spirits brought a total of 28 Elemental Spirits with them to form the contracts with Aron. When he first formed the contracts with the Fire and Wind Elemental Spirits, the time taken to form the contract with them was less than 10 minutes and when he calcted the time to form the contracts with the rest of the Elemental Spirits in front of him, Aron was fully confident in forming the contracts with all of them. Time continued to pass as Aron started forming the contracts with one elemental spirit after another and in a sh, the said four hours were about toe to an end. "Summoning Master." Thest elemental spirit that justpleted the contract with Aron bowed with a face full of respect and joined the group of Elemental Spirits. "Everyone, let''s work together and be friends as soon as possible." Since there were still a few minutes left for him in the world, Aron said a few words to motivate the Elemental Spirits and at the same time, to increase the bond between him and the Elemental Spirits. ''This time, I am not going to die or lose any of my Elemental Spirits.'' At the same time, Aron silently swore in his heart that he was going to live to his fullest this time and ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm with his Elemental Spirit Army. Thinking about the Elemental Spirits from his past two lives, Aron could not help but feel sorry for them because unlike him, they were not alive today. Nevertheless, Aron was not going to lose any of his Elemental Spirits again and the only way to aplish that was by bing stronger. "Yes, Summoning Master. Let''s reach the pinnacle of the universe and break through to a higher realm." In reply to his motivational words, all the Elemental Spirits nodded their heads. Unlike the regr elemental spirits, these Elemental Spirits have already awakened their Elemental Ascendance and know about the Heavenly Realms. Hence, they easily understood Aron''s words and became excited about breaking through to a realm that was considered a Myth in their awakened ancestral memories. ''Also, this time, I will be having an Elemental Spirit Army with me, making me much more powerful than in the previous two versions.'' Looking at 50 Elemental Spirits in front of him, Aron was so proud and confident in achieving his dream of ascending to the Heavenly Realm. That''s right! It''s not 30 but 50 Elemental Spirits that Aron had formed a contract with on his first visit to the Elemental Spirit World. While the Fire and Wind Elemental Spirits went to search for the Elemental Spirits to form the contract with Aron, Aron was not idling away; instead, he was also searching for the Elemental Spirits on his own at his speed. Thanks to the Pure White Consciousness Form, the Elemental Spirits found him on their own while he was just moving without any sense of direction. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Thanks to the same, Aron didn''t have to convince those Elemental Spirits as they begged Aron to form a contract with them and he, without any hesitationpiled their request. Also, the main reason why Aron wanted to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm was to reunite with his wife M. When Aron and his wife M were about to use their ultimate move against the invasion of the Demon Emperors, they swore to meet up with one another at any cost. As far as Aron believed that M was definitely not in the same universe as him andpared to travelling to various universes to find her, it was much easier and safer to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm to meet her. Also, Aron knows about his wife very well and what kind of chances and decisions she would make and the most definite thing she would do was to ascend to the Heavenly Human Real no matter which universe she was teleported to, by the other system.¡­at least that''s what Aron believed. So, unlike the other cultivators, Vaugh was not attempting to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm to seek more power; instead, he wanted to have a reunion with his wife. As for Ajax, Aron didn''t have to worry much about him because he knew that Ajax''s chances of ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm were much higher than his own chances. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Aron''s pure white Spirit Consciousness Form disappeared from the Elemental Spirit World along with the 50 Elemental Spirits that he formed a contract with during his visit. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as they disappeared from the Elemental Spirit World, in the various locations of the world, bright and colourful lights shed as new Elemental Spirits appeared before those lights disappeared. ''Finally, I have left that damned ''Void of Istion''.'' The newly appeared 50 Elemental Spirits unconsciously muttered the same lines with a relieved look on their faces. ''Huh? Void of Istion? What is that?'' Suddenly, the relieved look on their faces disappeared and was reced with confused looks and soon, they were unable to remember what they just said a moment back. ''I don''t know what it is but I know one thing for sure. Just saying the name is giving me chills.'' All those newly appeared Elemental Spirits felt chills run down their necks before they stopped thinking about what they could not remember and checked out the awakened ancestral memories in their heads. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, all their bodies glowed with bright colours as they awakened their Elemental Ascendance. ''Summoners? Official and Unofficial Contracts? Heavenly Realms.'' Soon, they started learning about some things and slowly digested them while waiting for someone to descend onto the Elemental Spirit World. ¡­. Waiting for Santa for this Christmas ^.^ Chapter 1862 Half a Million In the Metal Region of the Floating Ind, ''Swoosh'' Aron''s pure white Spirit Consciousness Form returned to his body as he opened his eyes. "Father, how did it go? How many Elemental Spirits did you bring with you?" As soon as Aron opened his eyes, Ajax excitedly asked his father about the number of Elemental Spirits that he had formed contracts with. "I made 50 new lifepanions on my first trip to the Elemental Spirit World." Even though Aron was not expecting Ajax to be so eager about his elemental spirits, Aron replied with a calm andposed look on his face. Also, along with those, there was a hint of proudness in his eyes. Compared to Ajax, who was able to form contracts with nearly 500 Elemental Spirits in a single visit to the Elemental Spirit World, Aron''s achievement was nothing. However, Aron was not an idiot topare himself with his son, who was a monstrous genius that appeared only once every millennium. ''Anyway, I don''tpare myself with anyone but myself.'' Unlike the other cultivators who alwayspare themselves with others, Aron ispletely different as hepares himself. That''s right! Unlike the other cultivators, Aron was either fortunately or unfortunately, able topare his new life with his past two lives. Thus, forming contracts with 50 Elemental Spirits¡­not any regr Elemental Spirits but the Elemental Spirits who awakened their Elemental Ascendance in just a single visit to the Elemental Spirit World. Therefore, Aron was proud of himself and looking forward towards his other visits to the Elemental Spirit World. "50 Elemental Spirits?" For a moment, Ajax was surprised; however, when he thought about how his father had undergone celestial transformation during the body creation process, he was no longer surprised. "Yes." Aron nodded his head before saying, "Anyway, don''t waste your time anymore and focus onpleting your goals." Aron knew that Ajax had entered the Floating Ind with multiple goals and Aron felt that Ajax had already wasted enough time on guarding his body when he entered the Elemental Spirit World. Thus, he asked Ajax to focus on his goals. As for entering the Elemental Spirit World, both Ajax and Aron didn''t have any ns to enter it again despite having enough entries to the Elemental Spirit World because they had enough time to enter again. "Yes, Father." Ajax nodded his head without anyints as he returned to the cave and started cultivating to absorb the Divine Essence of Nature. As for Aron, he also wanted to cultivate along with his newly contracted Elemental Spirits before entering the Elemental Spirit World again. ¡­. Time continued to pass and in a sh, a month passed by as Ajax opened his eyes from his cultivation. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 500000 / 500000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. During his one-month seclusion, Ajax was not able to increase the storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness to 500000 but he alsopletely filled it with the Divine Essence of Nature. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Let''s use the entire Divine Essence of Nature to increase the storage space to one million units.'' Since Ajax needed one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to fulfil thest condition to turn into a Divine Body Cultivator, he wanted to have a storage space of one million units. Even though he could use the partial Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness to refine his body, it would make him put so many stops in the process of refining his own body. However, if he had the Divine Spirit Consciousness with a capacity of one million units of Divine Essence of Nature, he could instantly refine his body with it in a single go and fulfil thest condition. Currently, the only thing that Ajaxcked in the Floating Ind was time and having a Divine Spirit Consciousness with a high capacity would only benefit him. Thus, Ajax was not in a hurry to be a Divine Body Cultivator using the partial refinements of his body. ''ording to my calctions, I need another one month and 10 days to increase the storage capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness to one million units and another 10 days topletely fill it.'' Ajax made the rough calctions in his mind and as long as nothing went wrong, within two months, Ajax could be a Divine Body Cultivator. ''Since I have been cultivating for an entire month, it is time to do something different.'' Ajax didn''t want to spend his entire cultivating as he already nned something to do as a refreshment before going back to another month of cultivation. ''Let''s go for the second round of contracting the Special Elemental Spirits in the Special Elemental Spirit World.'' After confirming that the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World would be respawned after a summoner leaves the world, Ajax was not in a hurry to re-enter the Elemental Spirit World. Not only his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form would be tiring to form so many contracts repeatedly in a single go, but Ajax wanted to keep some gap between his visitations to the Elemental Spirit World just like his father Aron. Ajax has only left with two more visitations to the Elemental Spirit World whereas Aron still has four more visitations to the Elemental Spirit World. Since Aron was also taking slow, Ajax didn''t find it was a bad thing to take a break from entering the Elemental Spirit World back to back. ''I wonder whether there will be an Elemental Spirit Emperor likest time.'' In hisst visitation to the Elemental Spirit World, the Elemental Spirit Emperor had made things difficult for him; however, Ajax was still hoping that he would encounter another Elemental Spirit Emperor because the energy from killing an Elemental Spirit Emperor seemed to benefit the system a lot. Moreover, Ajax wanted to find answers to some questions rted to the system and the origin of the Elemental Spirits from the Elemental Spirit Emperor, who seemed to know more things than Ajax. Nevertheless, Ajax felt that there wouldn''t be a second Elemental Spirit Emperor in the Elemental Spirit World. ''Anyway, let''s enter the Elemental Spirit World and confirm it.'' Chapter 1863 Second Visit Chapter 1863 Second Visit ''Anyway, let''s enter the Elemental Spirit World and confirm it.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax sat cross-legged and entered the Elemental Spirit World with a single thought. ¡­ In the Elemental Spirit World, ''Swoosh'' Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form appeared in the Elemental Spirit World and unlike his previous visit, Ajax looked much calmer. He was not worried about not having enough time to form the contracts with all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It was because he was confident in his ability to bring all the Elemental Spirits out of the Elemental Spirit World. "First, let''s form contracts with some Elemental Spirits and let them work for me." Even though Ajax was curious about the Elemental Spirit Emperor, he didn''t forget his main goal. Moreover, he was able to kill the Elemental Spirit Emperor previously and he was confident in doing so because he knows more about the Elemental Spirit Emperorpared to before. At the same time, he believed that there would be no more Elemental Spirit Emperor in the Elemental Spirit World because such beings wouldn''t be asmon as the regr Elemental Spirits. Also, if there were more Elemental Spirit Emperors in the world, it would only be good news for Ajax because he could kill them and upgrade his System to be more powerful. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' Despite being calm, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he used his movement skill to move at an incredible speed and searched for the Elemental Spirits. Unlike Aron, Ajax''s spirit consciousness form couldn''t attract the Elemental Spirits within a radius of certain kilometers. So, Ajax had to be careful in looking for the Elemental Spirits and eventually, it took one hour for Ajax to find more than a dozen Elemental Spirits with whom Ajax had instantly formed the contract. After forming the contract with them, Ajax gave the usual mission of bringing more Elemental Spirits to form the contracts with them and all the newly contracted Elemental Spirits were excited about their first mission from their Summoner. Of course, Ajax didn''t forget to set a rendezvous point and a deadline to meet him before searching for more Elemental Spirits on his own and repeated the process. Time continued to pass and in a sh nearly 15 hours passed by since he entered the Elemental Spirit World and it was finally time for all his contracted Elemental Spirits to rush back to the rendezvous point. ''Hm¡­I have contracted with exactly 201 Elemental Spirits on my own and there are another 264 Elemental Spirits left.'' Ajax was keeping track of the Elemental Spirits he formed a contract within his current visitation to the Elemental Spirit World andpared to his previous visit, this time was going much smoother than he expected. Ajax was confident that by now, all the remaining Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World were being gathered by the Elemental Spirits that he formed contracts with. ''Anyway, I still have lots of time to explore the Elemental Spirit World before meeting them at the rendezvous point.'' Unlike his newly contracted Elemental Spirits, Ajax''s speed was much faster and could get back to the rendezvous point in less than three hours. Thus, he decided to venture more into the Elemental Spirit World to see whether any Elemental Spirits were missing out on the gathering at the rendezvous point. ¡­ Time continued to pass and in a sh, the time for Ajax to meet his contracted Elemental Spirits along with the Elemental Spirits brought by them, came. Arge group of Elemental Spirits have been gathered and looked at each other excitedly while waiting for the Divine Human. In therge group, there were only five types of Elemental Spirits. They are Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal. All these Elemental Spirits along with the already contracted Elemental Spirits, have the cultivation of Elemental Spirit King Realm with their Elemental Ascendance awakened. ''Swoosh'' ''So, this batch of Elemental Spirits only has the level 1 Elemental Spirit King Realm. Is it because it''s been only a month since they were respawned?'' Soon, Ajax also reached the ce and observed the cultivation of all the Elemental Spirits and silently came to this conclusion. In the previous batch of Elemental Spirits that Ajax had formed contracts with, they had varying cultivation and the highest cultivation of some Elemental Spirits was as high as level 7 and level 8 Elemental Spirit King Realm. Most of them have a level 4 and 5 Elemental Spirit King Realm cultivation. Hence, Ajax thought that the respawning time was the only possible reason for the varying cultivation of the Elemental Spirits. ''Anyway, I don''t have a problem with their cultivation as I am more concerned about their Elemental Ascendance.'' Since all the Elemental Spirits have awakened their Elemental Ascendance with one percent, Ajax could easily increase it to 100 percent with the Elemental Crystals that he had and would be getting in the future. ''Let''splete the contract and return to my cultivation.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about it and decided toplete the contracting process. ''Ding, The host has formed unofficial contracts with 10 Fire Elemental Spirits. ''Ding, The host has formed unofficial contracts with 10 Water Elemental Spirits. . . . In less than five minutes, Ajax formed a contract with 250 Elemental Spirits and now, he had officially contracted with all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. ''Ding, Total Elemental Spirits: 974. ''I just need another 26 Elemental Spirits to have a round-figured number of Elemental Spirits and what''s more, I still have another visit left to the Elemental Spirit World.'' For Ajax, he was confident in getting another 475 Elemental Spirits with ease. So, it was a piece of cake for him to reach 1000 contracted Elemental Spirits with ease. "We greet you, Summoning Master." Once the contracting process was done, all the Elemental Spirits bowed to Ajax with faces full of respect and excitement for their future. ''Even though I have another four hours left, there are no Elemental Spirits left in this world. So, let''s cultivate.'' Chapter 1864 Insane Cultivation Speed Chapter 1864 Insane Cultivation Speed Generally, the essence of nature in an Elemental Spirit World was much purer and denser than the world it was connected to. The Floating Ind already has the Essence of Naturepared to a high-level Greater World and with that logic, it wasmon sense that the Essence of Nature in the Elemental Spirit World would be even better. Also, Ajax still had another four hours left in his current visit to the Elemental Spirit World and even if he wanted to, he could not leave it until the entire time limit for his visit waspleted. Thus, Ajax decided to make use of his four hours of time to cultivate. ''Everyone, sit down and cultivate with me.'' At the same time, Ajax didn''t forget about his Elemental Spirits and asked them to cultivate alongside him. ''Yes, Summoning Master.'' All Elemental Spirits nodded their heads and were excited to cultivate because they knew that their cultivation speed would be much faster after forming a contract with a summoner. Also, Ajax was not just a normal human but a Divine Human. Thus, they believed that their cultivation speed would be much faster than having a contract with a normal summoner. ''For the next 10 minutes, you will be experiencing a huge boost in your cultivation speed and I want you to make use of it to break through at least two minor levels and reach level 3 Elemental Spirit King Realm.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to use his cultivation boost from the Jade Pendant that he received from the Dragonling''s mother. During that boost, not only him but everyone around him would benefit¡­of course,pared to Ajax, it was not much but still, it was a blessing for others. ''...'' Hearing Ajax''s words, all Elemental Spirits were a little surprised and at the same time, they felt pressured while looking at the Elemental Spirits standing beside them. They were pressured because they felt it was a test where the Summoning Master would conclude how to take care of them, depending on how much their cultivation would progress during this 10-minute cultivation session. However, Ajax didn''t bother to exin them more as he looked at the Jade Bracelet on his hand and with a single thought, activated its special effect. [Jade Essence Burst (mini)] ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the Essence of Nature around Ajax within a radius of thousands of kilometers shook violently before rushing towards Ajax at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host has activated[Jade Essence Burst (mini)]. ''Ding, The host''s cultivation speed will be increased by 1000 times and adding with 10 times passive cultivation speed from the Jade Bracelet, the overall cultivation speed would be 10000 times. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] As soon as Ajax got the system notifications, he started circting his cultivation technique. ''Swoosh'' The essence of nature which already became violent became even more violent as it rushed into Ajax''s body. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om In short, Ajax''s body became a ck hole that was absorbing all the Essence of Nature like an endless bottom. ''Ding, The host has circted for a minute and absorbed 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Huh? 500,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Ajax was already expecting that he would absorb a huge amount of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature waspletely out of his expectation. ''I will use all these Divine Essence of Nature to increase the storage of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Even though he could use the 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature to refine his body towards the Divine Body Cultivation, he was thinking for the long term and there were many reasons for why he preferred to increase the storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness. One, it would take a lot of time to temper his body with the Divine Essence of Nature and Ajax didn''t want to waste his time when he could still cultivate for another 9 minutes at an incredible speed. Also, with a million units of storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax could turn the 100 old cultivators in the Five Elemental World into Divine Body Cultivators and increase their lifespan before helping them on their path of awakening the Divine Rules. Not only the 100 old cultivators but there were many other people that Ajax wanted to turn into Divine Body Cultivators. ''Ding, The host used 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his storage capacity by 5000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 510000 / 500000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, the system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head and even with so many units of Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax was able to increase his storage capacity by only 5000 units which was within his limits. ''Anyway, with the Jade Essence Burst, I can save at least 10 days worth of cultivation and I might reach my goal of having one million units of storage capacity within a month.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax was excited as the cultivation technique kept circting in his body absorbing the units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has circted for a minute and absorbed 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 515000 / 500000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. . . . While Ajax was filing, and increasing his Divine Spirit Consciousness, his newly contracted elemental spirits were also experiencing an insane cultivation speed as they broke their cultivation levels and became excited about it. They never expected to witness such an insane cultivation speed that their cultivation had already reached level 3 Elemental Spirit King Realm in just four minutes and they were sure about reaching level 5 in the next 6 minutes. Time continued to pass and in a sh, five minutes passed by as Ajax opened his eyes with a satisfied look on his face. Chapter 1865 Nature Goddess Chapter 1865 Nature Goddess ''Ding, The host used 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and increased his storage capacity by 5000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 540000 / 500000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. By the end of the [Jade Essence Burst (mini)], Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity had increased by 30000 units and reached 540000 units. Even though it didn''t look much in front of his goal of having one million units of storage capacity for his Divine Spirit Consciousness, it saved a week or so in his bitter cultivation. Moreover, he still has 3 hours and 50 minutes left in his visitation to the Elemental Spirit World and he could save an additional three or four days of bitter cultivation in the Floating Ind. ''Other than my gains, my newly contracted Elemental Spirits have also gained lots of benefits in these 10 minutes.'' After checking his Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax checked upon his newly contracted Elemental Spirits and was pleasantly surprised with the increase in their cultivation. Before the [Jade Essence Burst (mini)], all his Elemental Spirits had only a level 1 Elemental Spirit King Realm cultivatio; however, the lowest cultivation among them after the special effect was level 4 Elemental Spirit King Realm. As for the highest cultivation, there were five Elemental Spirits, each from five different elements. They reached a cultivation of level 7 Elemental Spirit King Realm which waspletely out of Ajax''s expectation. ''It looks like the newly spawned Elemental Spirits have an insane cultivation speed.'' When he thought about it, Ajax had an idea that he wanted to test it and if he was right, he would benefit a little from it regarding the cultivation of the Elemental Spirits. Even though it was not a big issue for Ajax to increase the cultivation of his contracted Elemental Spirits, who doesn''t like getting the same work done with less effort? The n was for Ajax to enter the Elemental Spirit World as soon as hepleted his current visitation. So, Ajax would be basically forming the contracts with the newly respawned Elemental Spirits in no time. ''However, since I just used the [Jade Essence Burst], even if I try it out, I can use 10,000 times the cultivation speed. So, all I can do is wait for another month and go with my old n as usual.'' Nevertheless, it didn''t take much time for Ajax to reject what he wanted to try as it wouldn''t give the benefits; instead, he would be losing the benefits. "Everyone, you have all exceeded my expectations with your cultivation speed." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax praised them before continuing, "Even though your cultivation speed will be decreased from now on, continue with your cultivation and try to break through at least one level." "Remember, don''t ck and you have to give it your all while cultivating." Also, Ajax didn''t forget to warn them not to get lost in their momentary insane cultivation speed and continue to focus on their cultivation for the next four hours. "Yes, Summoning Master." The Elemental Spirits have be proud of their cultivation speed and the cultivation level that they have achieved. Especially the five Elemental Spirits that reached level 7 Elemental Spirit King Realm. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om However, before they could brag and openly look down on the other Elemental Spirits, Ajax''s words woke them up from their unconscious condescending behaviour. Soon, Ajax and all the newly contracted Elemental Spirits have entered their cultivation. The speed at which the Essence of Nature around them was much slower than before; however, it was still much better than what they could get in the outside world. Moreover, the Elemental Spirits knew that their Summoning Master had other Elemental Spirits and to catch up to them, these Elemental Spirits needed to work hard and use all the avable time for their cultivation. Time continued to pass and in a sh, the remaining time for Ajax''s stay in his current visit to the Elemental Spirit World waspleted as he and his Elemental Spirits disappeared with a ''Swoosh''. "Let''s check on others before going back to my regr cultivation." After returning from the Elemental Spirit World, Ajax was not in a hurry to go back to his cultivation. Instead, he took a casual walk to check on others without disturbing them. First, Ajax checked on his father, Aron, who was silently cultivating. ''Ding, Cultivator''s Name: Aron. Cultivation Name: Level 3 Emperor Realm. With a thought, Ajax received the system notification regarding Aron''s cultivation, making Ajax nod his head in satisfaction. ''It looks like my father''s new body has a good cultivation speed. Reconstructing a new body with such valuable treasures was definitely worth it.'' The cultivation speed of any cultivator depends on their cultivation technique, affinity with the Essence of Nature and the quality and quantity of the Essence of Nature. Last but not least, the most important thing was the cultivator''s body. With a body that underwent Celestial Transformation, there would be no bottlenecks and at the same time, the affinity with the Essence of Nature would be at its peak, making the body devour the Essence of Nature at an incredible speed. ''But the problem is, the chances of a soul orb surviving after getting its body destroyed are very low and if it survived if the body was not reconstructed within a specific time, it would disappear into nature.'' Even though Ajax felt that reconstructing the body was the fastest way to increase your cultivation, there was no need to take such unnecessary risks when one already has a good affinity and body with the elements in nature. ''Let''s not disturb Father and check on others.'' Ajax silently left and checked on Siora, who waspletely immersed in nature as her body was covered with green moss and wrapped with green vines. If someone who doesn''t know her sees her in her current state, they would think that she is the Nature Goddess of the Floating Ind. ''Huh? What''s happening in my Inner World?'' Suddenly, Ajax felt fluctuations in his Inner World, making him frown and hurriedly take a look at it. **** Chapter 1866 Nature Growth Phenomenon Chapter 1866 Nature Growth Phenomenon ''What''s happening?'' Ajax didn''t waste any time sending his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form into his Inner World because the energy fluctuations he was feeling were very intense. Even though he felt these kinds of Energy Fluctuations in the Inner World in the past, they were very strong this time, making him worry. ''Huh? What is this green aura? Where is iting from?'' The moment Ajax entered the Inner World, he saw the entire Inner World was covered in a green light and tiny green-coloured light particles were moving in the Inner World. N?v(el)B\\jnn ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''What the¡­.'' However, when he saw what was really happening inside the Inner World, Ajax was shocked for a moment before getting pleasantly surprised. That''s right! Ajax was pleasantly surprised and excited about the energy fluctuations in the Inner World because the three Mythical Trees in the Inner World were growing at a rapid pace. Especially, the Soul Nourishing Tree¡­the youngest tree among the three trees in the Inner World was growing at an incredible speed where it was spreading its branches and roots all over the Inner World. As the Tree of the Blessing and the Standard World Tree had already reached 10000 years old and were growing at a less speed but still, it was much faster for Ajax who needed to use 100 drops of nt Essence just to increase the age of the trees by one year. ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishing Tree] has reached 5000 years old and bore a new type of fruit but failed to awaken a new ability. Even though the system was undergoing an upgrade, it would still notify him about these things as long as Ajax witnessed the process. In less than a minute, Ajax received a system notification regarding the [Soul Nourishing Tree] that reached 5000 years old. ''What? Failed to awaken an ability?'' The Mythical Grade Trees unlock an ability at 1000 years, 5000 years and 10000 years. So, Ajax was shocked about it when he saw the system notification ''It looks like just because a Mythical Tree reached 5000 years old doesn''t mean it was guaranteed to awaken a new ability.'' Even though he was not happy about the [Soul Nourishing Tree] not awakening a new ability, Ajax epted the reality as he knew everything didn''t go as he expected. ''Anyway, the trees were growing on their own without me spending any resources on them.'' The only thing that Ajax was happy about in his current situation was that the trees were growing at zero expense. ''Also, the Soul Nourishing Tree is still growing and at its speed, it only needs another 10-20 minutes to reach 10000 years old.'' Ajax was satisfied with the phenomenon that was making three of his trees grow at an incredible speed. ''What might be the reason behind it?'' Ajax was curious about checking the details about the new fruit and seeing the speed at which his other trees were growing; however, he was more curious about the phenomenon that was making his trees grow at such an incredible speed. ''Wait a second! This green aura and the aura around the Siora earlier was familiar.'' While he was thinking about the phenomenon, Ajax thought of Siora who was covered in green moss like a Nature Goddess. ''What''s happening with her?'' Ajax peeked outside the Inner World to check on Siora; however, she was busy cultivating. Since the system was upgrading, it could not assess what was happening with Siora and Ajax didn''t have a clue about it other than the fact that her cultivation was increasing. Of course, it was not increasing rapidly butpared to a month back, it had increased a lot. ''I wonder how much percentage of her Divine Nature Rule has awakened?'' Since Siroa''s Divine Rule was rted to Nature and right now, Siora was covered in moss and even promoting the growth of his trees, Ajax felt that it had something to do with her Divine Rule. Hence, he decided to check on it. ''Ding, Cultivator''s Name: Siora. Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm. Divine Rule: Nature (51 percent). ''What? 51 percent of her Divine Nature Rule has been awakened?'' When Ajax saw the high percentage of the Divine Rule, he was thoroughly shocked. It was because, even his master, Mostror, who had been living for nearly 10000 years, was still at 50 percent of his DIvine Bloodline Rule. However, Siora, who was not even 20 years old was able to awaken her Divine Rule to 51 percent which was one percent higher than an old monster like his master. ''I guess, this phenomenon is rted to the Divine Nature Rule breaking that 50 percent mark.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax finally came to this conclusion. ''If it was the Divine Rule, I wonder what kind of effects my Divine Rules will have when they break through that halfway mark in their awakening.'' Just thinking about it made Ajax excited and look forward to the day when it happens. Unlike others, Ajax didn''t have a single Divine Rule but many. Moreover, as time passed, Ajax was confident in his strength that he could awaken more Divine Rules. With each Divine Rule, Ajax believed that there would be a different effect just as powerful and effective as Siora''s ability to grow the trees and nts around her. Therefore, Ajax was looking forward to seeing what kind of phenomenon each one of his Divine Rules would create after breaking through the 50 percent awakening mark. ''Anyway, let''s not disturb her and check out how other trees are growing.'' After looking at Siora for a while, Ajax focused on his other two trees in the Inner World. The Tree of Blessing and the Standard World Tree had already reached 10000 years before the Nature Growth Phenomenon started and it''s been nearly 5 minutes since the phenomenon started. They have already reached 11000 years in thest five minutes and are still growing at hundreds of years per minute. ''I hope this Nature Growth Phenomenonsts for a day or two.'' Chapter 1867 Soul Nourishing Trees New Ability Chapter 1867 Soul Nourishing Tree''s New Ability ''I hope this Nature Growth Phenomenonsts for a day or two.'' Looking at the rapid growth of his Mythical Trees, Ajax was hoping for the Nature Growth Phenomenon tost longer. Of course, he was not being overly greedy by expecting the Nature Growth Phenomenon tost for weeks, months or years; instead, he wanted it tost for a day or two. Ajax believed that within a day, all three of his trees would reach 20000 years and bear new fruits or might even unlock new abilities. ''Let''s stay here until the phenomenon disappears.'' Ajax didn''t know the exact range of the Nature Growth Phenomenon. So, despite his ns to check on others before resuming his cultivation, Ajax didn''t leave the cave Siora was cultivating in. ''Since I have nothing left to do, I will check out the information about the new fruit.'' Even though Ajax could cultivate in the meantime, he didn''t want to take the risk of decreasing the duration of the Nature Growth Phenomenon. With his Godly Cultivation Technique, Ajax''s rate of absorption of the Essence of Nature was top-notch and thus, he was worried that if he absorbed the Essence of Nature during the Nature Growth Phenomenon, it might decrease the duration of it. Therefore, Ajax decided to pass the time by doing misceneous things. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Soul Strengthening Fruit. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Effect: A Mythical Grade Fruit that could strengthen even the Emperor Realm Cultivator''s Soul by 50 percent. Note: 3 fruits can be consumed 3 fruits and the effect decreases with each fruit consumed. Note: For every 1000 years, three Fruits will appear and the cultivator has to consume only these three fruits together. First Fruit: 50 percent. Second Fruit: 30 percent. Third Fruit: 20 percent. More Information: In short, the Soul Strengthening Fruits can double the strength of the cultivator''s soul. Soon, the information about the new fruit: Soul Strengthening Fruit appeared in front of Ajax. ''I don''t have much use with this fruit; however, it helps the 100 old cultivators who became weak due to insufficient resources.'' Not only those 100-year-old cultivators were physically weak, but their souls were also weak and that''s the main reason why Ajax was not letting them undergo the tempering with the help of the Sentient mes. Hence, Ajax felt that he could use these fruits to help his old and new followers. ''With Soul Protection Fruits, their Souls can be protected from external attacks including the Lighting Tribtion during the ascension and the Soul Strengthening Fruits can help their souls be strong all together.'' Even if he can''t use these Fruits on himself, Ajax could give them to his family, friends and followers. After that, he absorbed the growth of his three trees in the Inner World while having a chat with his Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits. Time continued to pass and 30 minutes passed by in a sh as Ajax received a system notification. ''Ding, The [Soul Nourishing Tree] has reached 10000 years old and unlocked a new ability. Among the three trees, the less-aged [Soul Nourishing Tree] has finally reached 10000 years and unlocked its new ability. After reaching the 10000-year mark, the growing speed of the Soul Nourishing Tree decreased so much that it was barely increasing a year or two for every minute. ''It looks like the Nature Growth Phenomenon is decreasing.'' Ajax had already expected that the growing speed of the Soul Nourishing Tree would decrease after reaching 10000 years; however, he didn''t expect it to decrease by a lot. ''Let it be. Whatever I have received from the Nature Growth Phenomenon was already a bonus.'' Since the [Soul Nourishing Tree] has finally reached 10000 years, Ajax felt it was alright because the growth speed for the trees above 10000 years from the Nature Growth Phenomenon was not fast. As the age of these trees increased by 100 or so, the speed continued to diminish, unlike the trees below 10000 years. Despite being under the effects of the Nature Growth Phenomenon for 40 minutes, the [Tree of the Blessing] and the [Standard World Tree] have only reached 11000 years. Compared to the Soul Nourishing Tree, which had increased by more than 5000 years, it was nothing. ''However, when I look at it from another perspective, 1000 years for those trees required 100000 drops of nt Essence whereas, for the Soul Nourishing Tree, it only required 9000 drops.'' Ajax shook his head and thought, ''Moreover, I will be getting 250 million drops of nt Essence from the Special Commision Service from the trading realm.'' With that thought in mind, he stopped thinking about it and focused on the newly unlocked ability of the Soul Nourishing Tree. ''Ding, Ability Name: Soul Devour. Effect: It can devour the souls of other living beings to increase its age and it can be used without a time limit. Note: The more powerful the living being, the more benefits the Soul Nourishing Tree will get and at the same time, it might even bore some special fruits depending on the living beings it devours. ''Huh? Soul Devour?'' Ajax raised his eyebrows when he saw the new ability and after reading the full information about the ability, he was pleasantly surprised about it. With this new ability, Ajax thought that he could stop worrying about the nt Essence for the Soul Nourishing Tree. Since Ajax was nning on doing some big things in theing days, he knew there wouldn''t be anyck of cultivators or living beings for him to feed the Soul Nourishing Tree. ''Even though there was no special fruit from the Soul Nourishing Tree for 10000 years, I will get more and more special fruits from itpared to the other trees.'' The bad feeling about not getting a special fruit from the 10000-year-old tree disappeared after learning about the tree''s new ability. Previously, when the [Tree of Blessing] and the [Standard World Tree] reached 10000 years, they gave the special fruits [Fruit of Summoners] and [Special World Fruit] respectively. But the Soul Nourishing Tree failed¡­at least Ajax thought he was not getting any special fruit but he was wrong; instead, he would be getting more special fruits from this treepared to the other trees. Chapter 1868 Back to Cultivation Chapter 1868 Back to Cultivation Even though it was not guaranteed that the Soul Nourishing Tree to give a Special Fruit every time it devoured the souls of the Living Beings, Ajax was not worried too much about it. Because the number of opponents he was going to fight and kill in the future would be countless and thus, Ajax was very confident in killing many Special Fruits despite having a low probability of the appearance of the Special Fruit. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Time continued to pass and in a sh, another 30 minutes passed by as the Nature Growth Phenomenon disappearedpletely. With the disappearance of the phenomenon, the growth of the three Trees in the Inner World stopped. ''Ding, Tree Name: Soul Nourishing Tree (Alma). Age: 12000 years. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree (Zoe). Age: 14500 years old. ''Ding, Tree Name: Tree of Blessing (Grace). Age: 15000 years. The first thing Ajax did after the disappearance of the Nature Growth Phenomenon was to check the age of his three trees. ''Hm¡­at the end of the phenomenon, the age of the trees is directly boosted by 1000 years.'' Ajax didn''t expect any of his trees would reach 15000 years; however, at the end of the phenomenon, there was a burst of Nature Essence that instantly increased the age of his trees by 1000 years each. ''Converting it into the nt essence, it would be 300,000 drops of the nt essence. Adding the growth of the trees for the entire duration of the Nature Growth Phenomenon, it would be more than 500,000 drops of nt Essence.'' Ajax had the habit of converting his gains with a standard and the standard of growth for the trees was nt Essence. Hence, hepared it with the nt Essence and was happy about it. ''Even though 500,000 drops of nt Essence was nothingpared to the 250 million drops of nt Essence I will be getting from the Special Service Center, it was still a good thing for me.'' After learning that the older his trees get, the more cultivation resources they require, Ajax won''t mind getting 100 drops of nt Essence, not to mention a worth of half a million drops of nt Essence. ''Since the Nature Growth Phenomenon has disappeared, I think Siora might have opened her eyes.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax left the Inner World and as he expected, he saw Siora checking out her surroundings that hadpletely changed. Before she started cultivating, there were barely any nts around her; however, right now, it haspletely turned into a dense garden. "Siora, congrattions on breaking through the 50 percent in awakening your Divine Nature Rule." Ajax wanted to ask Siora about the Nature Growth Phenomenon; however, seeing the confused look on her face, he could tell that Siora was more clueless than him. Thus, instead of asking about the Nature Growth Phenomenon, Ajax congratted her for reaching 51 percent of awakening in her Divine Nature Rule. "What? My Divine Nature Rules'' awakening increased to 51 percent?" Siora was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly closed her eyes to feel the awakening percent of her Divine Nature Rule before opening her eyes with full excitement. "It looks like you will be triggering the Ascending Lightning Tribtion much faster than me." Ajax jokingly said to her. "Stop joking, Ajax. With your speed, it won''t be long before you catch up to me." Siora knew how monstrous Ajax''s cultivation speed was and she also knew that he was pursuing something on his cultivation path. Once he found it, she knew it would be impossible to keep up with Ajax. As for the battle prowess, Siora didn''t even bother to think about them because even with her current strength, she had a feeling that she was not a match for Ajax. "I think you rest here and understand what kind of changes happened to you and your cultivation." Ajax wanted to ask her whether she would apany him while he checked on how others were doing; however, he knew better than anyone how important it was to assess their own battle prowess. Even though there was still some time before Ajax focused on his goal of conquering the Floating Ind, Ajax wanted Siora to understand her own abilities and battle prowess because he believed she would make things easier for him with his uing battles in conquering the Floating Ind. "I am nning to do that." Siora nodded her head because she was also thinking the same. "I won''t be disturbing you then." With that said, Ajax quietly left the cave Siora was in and checked on the Genius Dwarf who was working hard to be a Mythical Grade Weaponsmith. ''Finally, it''s time to cultivate.'' Afterpleting his walk for the fresh air, Ajax returned to his cave and resumed his cultivation. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Essence of Nature around him rushed into his body and converted into the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 1000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. . . . Even though Ajax could disable the system notifications, he chose not to do it because it gave him the motivation to cultivate more and look forward to the next system notification. One day passed by. Two days passed by. Days turned into weeks and eventually, one month passed by since Ajax resumed his cultivation after experiencing the Nature Growth Phenomenon. For the past month, Ajax cultivated without taking a break and every day, his storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness increased by 14400 units. And in a single month, Ajax was able to upgrade his storage capacity by 432000 units. Adding to the old storage of the Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax now has a total storage capacity of 972000 units. ''To reach the goal of having a million units of storage capacity, I only need 28000 units which will be achieved in just two days.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time and resumed his cultivation. In a sh, two days passed by and the day that Ajax was waiting for had finallye as he received a series of system notifications. Chapter 1869 Storage Capacity: One Million Chapter 1869 Storage Capacity: One Million The day that Ajax was eagerly looking forward to arriving as he received the system notifications about it. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness has reached a storage capacity of one million units. ''Ding, Starting from now, to increase the storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness, it requires 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 122 / 1 Million units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''I finally reached my first goal.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he rested his back against the wall of the cave. ''However, it''s just the beginning as I still need to refill my Divine Spirit Consciousness with the Divine Essence of Nature before tempering my body.'' Since Ajax used all his Divine Essence of Nature to upgrade the storage capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness, he needed to refill it to temper his body. Only by tempering with one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax couldplete the final requirement to be a Divine Body Cultivator. ''Anyway, I can fill my Divine Spirit Consciousness in just two minutes.'' However, Ajax was not worried too much about refilling his Divine Spirit Consciousness because he had already made separate ns for it. In that n, he only needs two minutes to fill the entire Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''It''s finally time toplete myst visit to the Elemental Spirit World andplete two more goals.'' After resting for a few moments, Ajax was ready to execute his n. As for the two goals he talked about, they were none other than increasing the number of Elemental Spirits under him to more than 1000 and as for the other one, refilling his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Since it''s been more than a month, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness has returned to the peak condition and he could use the full battle prowess in the Elemental Spirit World now. Moreover, another reason he was waiting for one month before entering the Elemental Spirit World, was to use the special effect of his Jade Bracelet [Jade Essence Burst (mini)]. And that''s how Ajax was going to refill his one million storage capacity Divine Spirit Consciousness in just two minutes. ''Also, once I return from the Elemental Spirit World, I can eat the ''Fruit of Summoners'' to turn all my unofficial Elemental Spirits into Official Elemental Spirits.'' Other than being a Divine Body Cultivator, the other most important thing that Ajax was looking forward to was eating the Fruit of Summoners. He was curious about what kind of official abilities he would gain once his Elemental Spirits turned into official elemental spirits. ''Anyway, let''s finish myst trip to the Elemental Spirit World.'' For a Summoner, hisst chance to enter the Elemental Spirit World ends after he bes an Emperor Realm Cultivator¡­at least that is what Ajax and all the other cultivators in the universe know. So, officially, it was hisst trip to the Elemental Spirit World and that''s why he was excited about it. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form disappeared from his body and entered the Elemental Spirit World. After entering the Elemental Spirit World so many times, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form got used to the teleportation between the worlds. ''Swoosh'' N?v(el)B\\jnn ''Let''s repeat the process from the previous visit.'' Ajax didn''t use much of his thinking power as he directly followed the same old method which was to form the contracts with a bunch of Elemental Spirits before sending them to gather more Elemental Spirits for him to form the contract with. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 20 hours passed by in the Elemental Spirit World as Ajax had sessfully formed the contracts with all the Elemental Spirits in the world. ''Ding, The host has sessfully formed unofficial contracts with 200 Elemental Spirits. ''Ding, Adding to the Elemental Spirits he formed earlier in his current visit to the Elemental Spirit World, the host has sessfully formed 476 unofficial contracts and one official contract with the Elemental Spirits. ''Ding, Total Elemental Spirits: 1453. (Official and Unofficialbined). A series of system notifications appeared in Ajax''s head and after making sure that he got all the Elemental Spirits from the world, Ajax sat down to execute the next part of his n. "Everyone, for the next 10 minutes¡­." Ajax exined to his newly contracted Elemental Spirits about the cultivation boost they would get for the next 10 minutes and without wasting any time, he directly used it. ''Ding, The host has activated the [Jade Essence Burst (mini)] and boosted his cultivation by 1000 times. ''Ding, Adding with the normal effect of 10 times boost, it will be 10000 times for the next 10 minutes. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] Ajax didn''t check the system notifications as he already knew about the cultivation boost he was getting and was fully focused on cultivating. ''Ding, The host has circted for a minute and absorbed 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has circted for a minute and absorbed 500,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Unlike before, Ajax didn''t have to stop his cultivation after a minute as his storage capacity was increased to one million units. So, he cultivated for two minutes before ordering the system, ''System, use all the Divine Essence of Nature to upgrade the storage capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' That''s right! Even after he had filled his Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax didn''t choose to temper his body; instead, he chose to upgrade his storage capacity. It was because body tempering would take a lot of time and he didn''t want to waste his opportunity to absorb such a huge amount of the Divine Essence of Nature. Moreover, it was hisst visit to the Elemental Spirit World and didn''t know when he could enter a world with such a pure Essence of Nature. Hence, he decided to make full use of hisst visit to the Elemental Spirit World for his cultivation. On the side, his Elemental Spirits also cultivated and rapidly increased their cultivation thanks to Ajax pulling the Essence of Nature from the entire world into his body. Chapter 1870 Body Tempering with Divine Essence of Nature Chapter 1870 Body Tempering with Divine Essence of Nature During the Jade Essence Burst, the essence of nature from the entire world would be attracted towards Ajax and of course, Ajax had to use his cultivation technique to absorb it into his body. On the other hand, his newly contracted Elemental Spirits could absorb little essence of nature and it was enough to boost their cultivation speed by dozens of times. Some might think that Ajax was losing the essence of nature by letting his 476 Elemental Spirits cultivate beside him; however, it was not true. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Even though 476 Elemental Spirits were cultivating beside Ajax, they were only absorbing a tiny bit of the Essence of Naturepared to Ajax who was absorbing and converting the Essence of Nature into the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has used one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature and upgraded the storage capacity of the Divine Spirit consciousness by 100 units. ''With one million units of Divine Essence of Nature, I can only increase the storage capacity by 100 units.'' Ajax could not help but smile bitterly after seeing the system notification. However, he didn''t waste his time as he continued to cultivate and after every two minutes, his Divine Spirit Consciousness would be filled and Ajax used the Divine Essence of Nature to upgrade its storage capacity. Even though it was only an increment of 100 units in the storage capacity, Ajax was satisfied with it because having more storage capacity was not harmful and it would only help him be stronger while making things easier for him. After repeating the process another three times, Ajax stopped upgrading and kept the Divine Essence of Nature from thest two minutes of the Jade Essence Burst to undergo his body tempering to be the Divine Body Cultivator. ''Everyone, your cultivation speed might be decreased now, but don''t stop cultivating and increase your cultivation by another one or two minor realms before we leave the Elemental Spirit World.'' ''Yes, Summoning Master.'' Ajax ordered his newly contracted Elemental Spirits and the Elemental Spirits seriously nodded their heads as they got enough motivation to increase their cultivation. Along with them, Ajax also started cultivating because he needed to be in his physical body to temper his body with the Divine Essence of Nature. Since he was in the Divine Spirit Consciousness Form, Ajax could only wait until he returned from the Elemental Spirit World. ''Ding, The host has used 100,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature and upgraded the storage capacity of the Divine Spirit consciousness by 10 units. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 900000 units / 1000410 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Since his Divine Spirit Consciousness was full, Ajax spent 100,000 units to upgrade the storage capacity because he could refill it before he left the Elemental Spirit World. Time continued to pass and in a sh, four hours passed as Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form along with his newly contracted Elemental Spirits disappeared from the Elemental Spirit World. Just like the previous batch of Elemental Spirits, the newly contracted Elemental Spirits were able to rapidly increase their cultivation to as high as level 8 Elemental Spirit King Realm with as low as level 5 Elemental Spirit King Realm. ''It''s time to temper my body with the Divine Essence of Nature and fulfil thest requirement to be the Divine Body Cultivator.'' As soon as Ajax returned, he didn''t waste any time as he decided to start tempering his body. ''Swoosh'' With his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, Ajax controlled the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness and started the process of tempering his body. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' There were sounds inside his body; however, Ajax didn''t feel any pain from tempering his body. ''Maybe I went through so much pain and my pain tolerance has reached a level where I don''t feel pain anymore.'' Ajax was expecting a painful process; however, seeing that there was no pain whatsoever, he increased the flow of the Divine Essence of Nature to speed up the body tempering process. As the flow of the Divine Essence of Nature increased, Ajax could feel slight pain in his body; however, it didn''t bother him much as he increased the flow once again. ''Ding. The host is tempering his body with a speed of 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second. ''100 units per second only make me feel ticklish. It looks like I can increase the flow.'' From what he understood so far, Ajax couldplete his body tempering with the Divine Essence of Nature at ease without feeling any pain; however, it would take a lot of time. However, Ajax didn''t want to waste his time when he could endure the pain to speed up the tempering process. ording to him, he had already dyed his conversion from a normal Body cultivator to a Divine Body Cultivator. Hence, he wanted to do it a little faster even if it was a little painful. ''Ding. The host is tempering his body with a speed of 200 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second. ''Not painful'' 300 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second¡­not painful. 400 units is not painful. . . . Ajax slowly increased the speed and eventually, he started feeling the pain at 1000 units per second was ideal enough for him to continue. Even though he could increase the body tempering speed by another couple hundred units per second, Ajax didn''t bother to increase it as he didn''t want to go through unbearable pain. ''Ding. The host is tempering his body with a speed of 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second. With 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second, Ajax calcted that it would take less than 15 minutes toplete the process of body tempering. 15 minutes¡­was not a long time for Ajax as he went with 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second. Time continued to pass and in a sh, 15 minutes passed by as Ajax received the system notifications that he was waiting for, making him excited. Chapter 1871 Divine Body Cultivator Chapter 1871 Divine Body Cultivator ''Ding, The requirements to unlock the Divine body Cultivation are: 1) Body tempering with at least three Sentient mes [Completed]. 2) Spend one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper the host''s body to officially pursue the Divine Body Cultivation [Completed]. 3)One million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones each for five different elements. (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal) [Completed]. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully fulfilling the three requirements to convert normal body cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. First, the system notifications congratted him for bing a Divine Body Cultivator and that''s not it as it continued to send him more and more system notifications, exining the benefits of being a Divine Body Cultivator. ''Ding, The host''s basic lifespan will be increased from 10000 years to 20000 years. ''Ding, The capacity of the awakening percentage of the host''s Divine Rules will be increased from 20 percent to 30 percent for the low-level Emperor Realm Cultivation. ''Ding, For being a low-level Divine Body Cultivator, the host''s sess rate in ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm has been increased by 10 percent. ''Ding, The physical strength and defensive strength of the body have been increased by 10 times. Of course, all the benefits shown by the system were for a low-level Divine Body Cultivator and as he increased his cultivation, the benefits he received would also increase. ''Compared to the LifeSpan, I was looking forward to the capacity increase for the awakening percentage of my Divine Rules.'' Ajax, who was less than 20 years old and with a lifespan of 10000 years, was confident in ascending to the Heavenly Realm. So, the longer lifespan didn''t make him much excited. As for the increase in his physical battle prowess by 10 times, it was one of the things he was looking forward to but still, it was not the main thing he wanted. The most important thing that he was waiting for was none other than the increase in the capacity of the awakening percentage of his Divine Rule. If Ajax wanted, he could increase his Normal Spirit Cultivation from a low-level Emperor Realm to a mid-level Emperor Realm with a Greater World Core; however, he was after the benefits of being a Divine Spirit Cultivator whose benefits were much greater than being a Divine Body Cultivator. However, the problem was it would take time and it might be from a month to a year or even a decade. A low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator in Normal Spirit Cultivation could only awaken his Divine Rule to 20 percent; however, a Divine Body Cultivator has a strong body that breaks that rule and lets him awaken till his Divine Rule reaches 30 percent. That''s why Ajax was going after the conversion of his Normal Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation whose requirements seemed quite easy for him. ''If it was a Single or Double Divine Rule, it would not have made much sense; however, I have seven Divine Rules and I will be gaining more and more Divine Rules.'' Ajax had found a cheat where he could easily awaken new Divine Rules with the blessing from Sentient mes. Even though Sentient mes could be difficult tomunicate with, for the normal cultivators, Ajax could feed them their favourite food and in return, he could get what he wants. ''Even though I am not finding any major changes in my body, I can feel the physical power hiding in my body. With a single punch, I could kill a High-level Emperor Realm Cultivator who just awakened his Divine Rule.'' Soon, Ajax stood up from his ce to feel the changes in his body as he confidently assessed himself. ''Ding, Since the host has be a Divine Body Cultivator, the Divine me Rule''s sealed awakening percentage will be unsealed. ''Ding, 1) Divine me Rule (30 percent) (still 8 percent sealed). ''Ding, The sealed skill [Moonfire] is unsealed. Soon, Ajax received another series of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile. Since Ajax underwent body tempering with multiple Sentient mes after his Divine me Rule reached 20 percent awakening, the additional awakening percentage was sealed. And now, it was being unlocked because his body could withstand the pressure. ''Let''s check out what I can do with the new skill.'' With a thought, Ajax checked the information about his newly unlocked skill under the Divine me Rule. ''Ding, n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Skill Name: Moonfire. Skill Information: Upon activation of the skill, the cultivator can burn the Divine Essence of Nature or even his life force to temporarily boost his battle power until 30 percent of his battle prowess. ''Boosting my battle prowess? Not bad.'' The skills awakened under the Divine me Rule could only be used when the cultivator activates the Divine me Rule. When a Divine Rule is activated, a cultivator would be at his peak and if one could boost his battle prowess by 30 percent of it, it was a powerful skill. Hence, Ajax was satisfied with it. ''There is still another skill but I don''t think it will be unlocked anytime soon.'' Seeing the additional 8 percent awakening and a skill sealed for the Divine me Rule, Ajax shook his head with a bitter smile. ''Let''s check all my Divine Rules and their awakening percentage.'' With a thought, a new system notification appeared in front of Ajax showing him what he wanted. ''Ding, 1) Divine Thunder Rule (10 percent). 2) Divine me Rule (30 percent) (8 percent sealed). 3) Divine Dark Rule (20 percent). 4) Divine Death Rule (1 percent). 5) Divine nt Rule (1 percent). 6) Divine Jade Rule (20 percent). 7) Divine Demon Rule (20 percent). ''It is time to increase the awakening percentage for two more Divine Rules.'' After checking them out, Ajax knew what he had to do. With the Giant Crystals, he had with him, Ajax could easily increase the awakening percentage of two more Divine Rules to 30 percent. They are none other than Divine Dark Rule and Divine Jade Rule because Ajax had lots of Giant Dark Crystals and Giant Jade Crystals. ***** Chapter 1872 Awakening: 30 Percent Chapter 1872 Awakening: 30 Percent From his previous trips to the Dark Region, Ajax had collected lots of Dark Fire Crystals and at the same time, he also collected huge batches of Dark Fire Crystals from the various Fire Chambers. Later, with the help of the system, Ajax merged them into Giant Crystals before demerging them into individual Giant Elemental Crystals like Giant Dark Crystals, Giant Fire Crystals and so on. These Giant Crystals are one of the basic resources to increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules and of course, only the Giant Crystals with the same element as the Divine Rule could increase the awakening percentage. Currently, Ajax has many types of Giant Crystals; however, he can only increase the awakening of Divine Dark Rule and Divine Jade Rule. As for the other Giant Crystals, Ajax didn''t have the rted Divine Rules; however, Ajax still umted them as he would be awakening more Divine Rules. ''Once I awaken those Divine Rules, I can directly increase their awakening percentage to 30 in a single go.'' Ajax was looking forward to that day as he took out thousands of Giant Dark Crystals and Giant Jade Crystals. ''Swoosh'' One after another, the Giant Dark Crystals in Ajax''s hands disappeared as he summoned more of them from his space ring. ''Ding, The host has used 1000 Giant Dark Crystals and increased one percent. In no time, 1000 Giant Dark Crystals disappeared as Ajax received the first system notification regarding the Divine Dark Rule. ''In the beginning, a single Giant Dark Crystal increased the awakening percentage of the Divine Rule by 10 percent and now, a 1000 Giant Dark Crystals increased one percent.'' Ajax had already expected the drastic increase in the requirement of Giant Dark Crystals; however, he didn''t expect it to be this high. ''Nevertheless, I have lots of Giant Dark Crystals along with many other elemental crystals.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax continued to use all the Giant Dark Crystals on him and eventually increased the awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule to 30 percent. ''Ding, The host used 9000 Giant Dark Crystals and sessfully increased the awakening of the Divine Dark Rule to 30 percent. ''Ding, No new skill has been unlocked; however, all the existing skills have been upgraded a little. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Dark (30 percent) (Not Upgradeable). Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: One day. Effect: 1) Upon activation of the Divine Rule, the host can integrate into the night or darkness andpletely avoid any detection techniques. 2) Absorption of the Dark Essence of Nature increased by 300 times. Skills: Shadow Travel, Nightmare Creator, Darkness Absorption. The information about the Divine Dark Rule appeared in front of Ajax which he checked with a smile on his face. Even though there was no change in the Cooldown, the duration of the Divine Dark Rule increased from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. So, of course, he was happy about it. Ajax was keen on the Duration and Cooldown for his Divine Rules because as long as he nned correctly, he could use his Divine Rules all the time. ''Let''s not waste any time and upgrade the Divine Jade Rule.'' Divine Jade Rule was a support-type Divine Rule just like Divine nt Rule which helps the cultivator in increasing his cultivation speed. Moreover, Ajax had collected enough Giant Crystals from the Greater Jade Dragon World and the other worlds'' me chambers. Soon, Ajax spent 10,000 Giant Jade Crystals and increased the awakening percentage of his Giant Jade Rule from 20 to 30. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Jade (30 percent). Effect: (Passive): The time and resources for upgrading thews, souls and Rules will be reduced by 10 percent (Up by 5 percent). Note: The regr effect of this Divine Rule will be active all the time even when the Divine Jade Rule was not activated. Skill: Jade Energy Burst. Skill Information: When using this skill, all the cultivators around the host will experience a cultivation boost of 10 times for 10 minutes with a cooldown of 5 minutes. Duration: 30 minutes (Up by 10 minutes). Cooldown: three days. Just like the Divine Dark Rule, the information about the Divine Jade Rule also appeared in front of Ajax. ''Even though there were no new skills for the Divine Jade Rule either, there were significant changes in it.'' Ajax was satisfied with the changes in the Divine Jade Rule. Unlike the Divine Dark Rule, for the Divine Jade Rule, not only the duration was increased but even the cooldown was decreased from one week to three days. So, of course, Ajax was happy about it as he could use the Divine Jade Rule more and more during his cultivation. Even though Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness had been increased to one million units, he required more capacity as he was nning to turn his followers into Divine Body Cultivators. Therefore having a Divine Spirit Consciousness with a huge capacity would be always helpful to him. ''I need to find other types of Giant Elemental Crystals and upgrade them.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Since his body''s capacity to have a higher awakening percentage for the Divine Rules, Ajax wanted to find them and upgrade his Divine Rules. If all his Divine Rules reach the 30 percent awakening, with his bloodline and other trump cards, Ajax could easily go against the cultivators with more than 50 or 60 or even 70 percent of awakened Divine Rules. Of course, Ajax had never fought with him and thus, he was not sure about the power levels of the Emperor Realm Cultivators with Divine Rules that were awakened by more than 20 percent. ''Anyway, I will check that out soon.'' Ajax didn''t forget about his revenge against the Golden-Winged Middle-Aged Man, because of whom, Ajax had to stay hidden on his previous visit to the Floating Ind. Moreover, Ajax''s aim has grown bigger in his current visit as he wanted to take full control of the Floating Ind at any cost and use it to speed up his cultivation along with his friends'' and followers'' cultivation. ''Since I havepleted one of my goals, it is time for the next goal which is to eat the Fruit of Summoners.'' Chapter 1873 Eating the Fruit of Summoners Chapter 1873 Eating the Fruit of Summoners ''Since I havepleted one of my goals, it is time for the next goal which is to eat the Fruit of Summoners.'' It''s been a while since Ajax got the Fruit of Summoners and he was restraining himself from eating it. It was because the effect of consuming the Fruit of Summoners was so great that Ajax wanted to make full use of it. After the consumption of the Fruit of Summoners, a Summoner''s non-official contracts with the Elemental Spirits would turn into official contracts. And since Ajax still had his visits to the Elemental Spirit World, he was not eating it and waiting to eat after he was done with them. Moreover, because of this, Ajax''s intention of forming more and more unofficial contracts with the Elemental Spirits increased and he sessfully contracted with all the Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World. ''I have been restraining myself a lot from eating it. It''s finally time to eat it.'' With a thought, a simple but delicious-looking fruit appeared in Ajax''s hands and he directly ate it. ''Kacha'' ''Gulp'' ''Not only does it have a miraculous effect but it also has a delicious taste.'' Generally, the more powerful their effects are, the lower the taste of the fruits; however, it was opposite to themon idea and very delicious. ''Ding, The host has consumed a Mythical Grade Fruit: Fruit of Summoners. ''Ding, The effect of the Fruit of Summoners is triggered. Please wait while the effect ispleted. First, Ajax received a couple of system notifications and soon after, Ajax''s entire body shone brightly. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, all his non-official Elemental Spirits came out of his Inner World and shone along with him. ''Th-this effect¡­isn''t it going to attract the Rulers of other regions?'' Even though Ajax already knew about the effect of the Fruit of Summoners, he didn''t expect it to cause suchmotion¡­that''s right! It was causing amotion in the entire Floating Ind. If it was just shining the bodies, Ajax would have not thought much; however, each elemental spirit released a coloured light representing their element into the sky. Also, not to forget, that Ajax had more than 1400 non-official elemental spirits and all of them were releasing such lights in the sky. So, of course, it was attracting the attention of other rulers. ''It''s not been that long since I took over this region and now, more than 1400 coloured lights would make me a high-profile ruler of the Floating Ind.'' N?v(el)B\\jnn Ajax could not help but bitterly smile at themotion he and his Elemental Spirits were causing after eating the Fruit of Summoners. ''So be it. Since I havepleted my main goal, it is time for me to start my invasion of the other territories of the Floating Ind.'' Ajax had sessfully increased his Divine Spirit Consciousness''s capacity became a Divine Body Cultivator and almost reached his peak condition for the moment. To be even more powerful, Ajax needed more time and hence, he felt that it was finally time for him to proceed to his new goal which was to conquer more territories of the Floating Ind. ''Before that, this effect from the Fruit of Summoners is yet to bepleted.'' Ajax was patiently waiting for the effect to bepleted and at the same time, he was also waiting for the other rulers who mighte personally or might even challenge him for a due through the Floating Ind''s rules. As the ruler of the Metal Region of the Floating Ind, Ajax learned about the rules of the Floating Ind and knew how he could conquer the other regions in the Floating Ind. He was waiting for the other rulers to challenge him while hepleted his goal of bing a Divine Body Cultivator. Since hepleted it, he was confident in defeating the other rulers on one¡­at least that''s what Ajax believed and looking forward to seeing actually how powerful they were. ''The previous rulers of the Metal Region were weakest among the rulers with around 10 percent of awakening in their Divine Rules; however, when they work together as one, they would be more powerful.'' Ajax knew the real reason why he was able to kill the previous rulers of the Metal Region and he also knew that it wouldn''t be easy for him to defeat the other rulers who might have a higher awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. However, things are differentpared to his fight back then with the previous rulers of the Metal Region. Nevertheless, Ajax waited¡­waited for all his unofficial elemental spirits to turn into official elemental spirits. ¡­. In the Water Region, "What are those lights in the Metal Region? Is that new ruler nning something?" The ruler of the Water Region, the Veiled Vampire Emperor, Maximus looked into the distance silently muttering to himself. ''Damn it¡­it''s been a while and there was not much information on this new ruler other than his name and cultivation.'' Just like how Ajax got the information about the other region rulers about their names and cultivation, the other region rulers also got his information. However, that information made all the rulers hesitate to challenge him. It was because the information they received from the voice of the Floating Ind was, New Ruler of the Metal Region: Ajax (Human). Cultivation: Low-level Emperor Realm. The fact that the new Ruler was able to kill the brothers of the Metal Region and sessfully took over it with such low cultivation, made all the rulers anxious. As far as they know, the voice of the Floating Ind never lies to them and it won''t lie about the new ruler''s cultivation and at the same time, it won''t lie about him killing the old brothers of the Metal Region. Whatever the method the new ruler had used to kill those old brothers, he was able to do it and took over the Metal Region in their region where the rulers would have more advantage and were much more difficult to kill. Nevertheless, they were still killed. Chapter 1874 New Title Chapter 1874 New Title Generally, in their own regions, all the rulers of the Floating Ind had additional battle prowess and thus, it was a difficult thing for the rulers to invade the other regions in person. However, if they issue the challenge with their region as a wager, there won''t be any such additional battle prowess and both rulers have to fight alone in a different realm. Since Ajax was able to kill the old brothers in their own region, it became even more unconvincible for the other regions'' rulers regarding Ajax''s cultivation. "Send the Silent Vampire Squad to check what''s happening in the Mental Region." After thinking for a moment, the Veiled Vampire Emperor ordered his right-hand vampire. "Yes, My Lord." The Vampire standing in front of the Veiled Vampire Emperor nodded his head and soon left the manor. ''If it isn''t for that b*stard Aveline from the Fire Region who was waiting for a perfect opportunity to invade my region, I would have taken over the metal region.'' Despite the mysterious methods of the new ruler of the Metal Region, Maximus believed that he could have taken him down without a problem. However, there was something that was stopping the Veiled Vampire Emperor from doing it and it was none other than the Golden Winged Emperor. Nevertheless, as the new ruler of the Floating Ind, the old rulers can''t challenge him to a duel for ten years. Unless someone wants to invade the Metal Region physically, there is nothing they can do about it. ''Let''s wait and see whether other rulers will do anything.'' Nevertheless, the Veiled Vampire Emperor was known for his patience as he could wait for centuries with ease. So, waiting for a decade was a small thing to him. ¡­. In the Golden City of the Fire Region, "This new b*stard is doing something. I wonder what it was?" The ruler of the Fire Region raised his brows as he looked at the lights in the sky and frowned just like the Veiled Vampire Emperor. Not only him, but the rulers of the other regions were also equally worried at the actions of the new ruler of the Metal Region and various squads under them to investigate and collect as much information as possible about Ajax. Oberon, the Abyssal Drake Lork, the ruler of the Earth Region sent his underground drake squad to the Metal Region to check on Ajax. Rosaline, the Ghost Naga Queen who was the ruler of the Wind Region of the Floating Ind sent her Ghost Scout Squad. ¡­ In the Metal Region, Time continued to pass and in a sh, one day passed by as Ajax''s body stopped shining and at the same time, the coloured lights released by Ajax''s Elemental Spirits disappeared. ''Ding, All the unofficial contracts with the Elemental Spirits under the host are sessfully converted into official contracts and be official Elemental Spirits. ''Ding, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The total Official Elemental Spirits: 1456. ''Ding, Since there were so many official Elemental Spirits with the same elements, the official skills from them would be merged to be stronger and more powerful. ''Ding, Please wait while the merging of the more than 1400 official skills happens. Soon, there were a series of system notifications and when he saw thest two notifications, Ajax was not surprised because it was within his expectations. Nevertheless, he was excited to see what kind of official skills he would get. ''Even if I consider one skill per element, I would get more than 10 official skills. What''s more, among them, the five official skills belonging to the elements like Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal would be very strong.'' Since Ajax has lots of Elemental Spirits belonging to these elements, and if they were merged into five skills, they would be the strongest skills. Hence, he was looking forward to his new official skills. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for having more than 1000 official Elemental Spirits and unlocking a new title: The Elemental Spirit Master. Just as he thought that was the end of the system notifications regarding his benefits of converting all the non-official contracts into official contracts, Ajax received another system notification that made him pleasantly surprised. It was because he unlocked a new title. As someone who already has multiple titles under his name, Ajax knew how helpful each one of these titles was and thus, he didn''t waste any time and hurriedly checked out. ''Ding, Title Name: Elemental Spirit Master Effect: 1) The cultivation speed of all the official elemental spirits under him will increase by 100 times. 2) The host can substitute his Official Elemental Spirits. In short, by letting his Elemental Spirits cultivate, the Elemental Spirit Master could fill his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Skill: 1) Elemental Spirit Army(Passive): All the Official Elemental Spirits are connected one with another and their cultivation and Elemental Ascendance will be perfectly synchronized. Note: Only the Elemental Spirits that awakened their Elemental Ascendance would be a part of the Elemental Spirit Army. 2) Divine Communication (Locked): It will be unlocked when the host ascends to the Heavenly Human Realm. Soon, the full information about Ajax''s new title [Elemental Spirit Master] appeared in front of him, making Ajax filled with various emotions. Even though there were only two effects and one skill that Ajax could use, they were very helpful for the current Ajax. ''Since I have got so many new Elemental Spirits, they are quite weakpared to my oldElemental Spirits. However, with the first skill under the title, all my Elemental Spirits would have the same cultivation and same Elemental Ascendance.'' Ajax liked this first skill and as for the second skill, it was locked; however, from the name, he could tell that it was not a regr skill but a powerful one. ''As for the effects, the first one is good but the second one is what I like the most. Of course, if I use the first and second effects together, it would be a whole new different story.'' After checking out the skill, Ajax gave his remarks about the two effects. Chapter 1875 Essence Farming Begins Chapter 1875 Essence Farming Begins With the help of the first effect, all his contracted Elemental Spirits could cultivate 100 times faster; however, with the second effect, Ajax could let his elemental spirits cultivate in his stead. Moreover, with the help of the skill [Elemental Spirit Army], all his Elemental Spirits don''t need to cultivate because the cultivation and the Elemental Ascendance of all his Elemental Spirits are connected. Hence, only one Elemental Spirit needed to cultivate and the remaining Elemental Spirits could reap the benefits. ''However, what if I n to let my remaining 1455 Elemental Spirits cultivate for my sake? I can umte my units of Divine Essence of Nature, right?'' Ajax smiled when he thought of this and looked at the Elemental Spirit Army in front of him. "Among you, who has the highest cultivation speed?" After thinking for a moment, Ajax asked the Elemental Spirits which surprised all the Elemental Spirits; however, after hesitating a little, more than 100 Elemental Spirits walked forward. "So many of you believe you have the fastest cultivation speed." Ajax looked at them and eventually, his eyes stopped on two Elemental Spirits. They are none other than Necros, the Dark/ Undead Elemental Spirit and Blood, the Blood Elemental Spirits. "Since I only need one Elemental Spirit for the duty I am going to assign, I will select only one of you." Ajax looked at the 100 or so Elemental Spirits who believed that they had the fastest cultivation speed and informed them. "Yes, Summoning Master." Those Elemental Spirits nodded their heads and were ready to acknowledge Ajax''s decision. Currently, all the Elemental Spirits were in a happy mood because they were no longer the unofficial Elemental Spirits and wouldn''t mind getting chosen by their Summoning Master. "Necrose out and ept the mission I am going to give you." Ajax didn''t leave the Elemental Spirits in suspense as he directly chose the one who would be doing the mission. "Since I have seen how fast his cultivation speed was and how it could only increase more and more if he was in the World filled with Dark Essence, I felt he was the most appropriate one for that mission." First, Ajax exined the reason why he chose Necros and at the same time, to make the other Elemental Spirits excited, he said, "Don''t worry. As for the remaining 1455 Elemental Spirits, I have a mission for you too. I will exin your mission in a while. So, wait for it." "Thank you, Summoning Master." Even though these 1455 Elemental Spirits were not disappointed when Necros was selected for the main mission, they were excited when they heard that they also had a mission. Hence, they thanked Ajax from the bottom of their hearts. The first and foremost important thing for the Elemental Spirits was to help their Summoning Master and they found joy in it. For them, the moment they form a contract with the Summoning Masters, whether it is an official contract or an unofficial contract, their lives are connected with Summoning Masters and they be their new family. Also, receiving a mission from the Summoning Master means that the person had acknowledged them as his family and needed their help with something. Therefore, they were excited about the mission as they patiently waited for Ajax to exin to them about their mission. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Necros, from today onwards, your only goal is to cultivate and increase your Elemental Ascendance." Soon, Ajax gave Necros a mission and in return, Necros nodded his head. "As for the others, you also need to focus on cultivating; however, your main objective was not to increase your cultivation or the Elemental Ascendance." Looking at the 1455 Official Elemental Spirits in front of him, Ajax ordered their mission. Even though both Necros and the remaining Elemental Spirits seemed to have the same missions, they werepletely different. Cultivation was a basic thing for the cultivators and in the process, they would absorb the Essence of Nature from the surroundings; however, what they would do after they absorb the Essence of Nature differs. Some cultivators used it to increase their Spirit Consciousness while strengthening its walls and they were called Spirit Cultivators. Whereas some cultivators used the absorbed Essence of Nature to temper their bodies and increase their physical capabilities. Thus, they were called Body Cultivators. In the case of Elemental Spirits, both Body Cultivation and Spirit Cultivation are the same as they focus on increasing their spirit prowess and at the same time, increase the amount of Essence of Nature they store in their bodies while slowly transforming their bodies from transparency to real solid bodies. So, Ajax tasked Necros to increase his Elemental Ascendance which could be increased through the cultivation and as for the remaining Elemental Spirits, they would just umte the Essence of Nature in their bodies. Ajax would be taking the Essence of Nature from them and using it for himself. "Yes, Summoning Master." All the Elemental Spirits nodded their heads in understanding. "Find a good ce to sit and start working on the missions I just gave you." Satisfied with the response from his contracted official Elemental Spirits, Ajax nodded his head and ordered all the Elemental Spirits to start working. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, the Elemental Spirits found some ces to cultivate and started absorbing the Essence of Nature from the surroundings. ''Since I can farm the Essence of Nature from now, I could stop wasting my time on sitting and cultivating.'' Even though the main thing of a cultivator was to cultivate, it was a tedious thing to do. What''s more, all the cultivators in the world would agree about it. However, Ajax could finally stop worrying about umting the Divine Essence of Nature to increase the storage capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''I will let them cultivate for a day before taking the Essence of Nature from them.'' Ajax looked at the seriously cultivating Elemental Spirits and decided to wait for a day to reap the essence of Nature collected by his Elemental Spirits. ''Before that, it is time to check out how to be a mid-level body cultivator.'' Chapter 1876 Mid-level Divine Body Cultivation Chapter 1876 Mid-level Divine Body Cultivation Currently, Ajax had a Divine Spirit Consciousness and whatever the Essence of Nature he absorbed from the surroundings, it would be converted into the Divine Essence of Nature. With his God-level Cultivation Technique [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens], Ajax''s cultivation speed was top notch and there might not be someone else who had such a cultivation speed. Nevertheless, Ajax was still dissatisfied with his cultivation speed and relied on the Jade Bracelet''s normal effect and the skill connected to it. As for the Elemental Spirits, no matter how fast their cultivation was, it would be nowhere close to Ajax''s cultivation speed. Hence, Ajax decided to reap the Essence of Nature umted by the Elemental Spirits after one day. ''Even if I do that, I doubt that my Divine Spirit Consciousness would be filled 10 percent with the Essence of Nature umted by all my Elemental Spirits.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and at the same time, he hoped that the number of Divine Essence of Nature he could get from all his Elemental Spirits should fill at least 10 percent of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Before that, it is time to check out how to be a mid-level body cultivator.'' Since Ajax decided to wait for a day to reap the Essence of Nature from his official Elemental Spirits, he decided to do another important thing. It was none other than checking out the requirements to be a mid-level Divine Body Cultivator. That''s right! Since Ajax had sessfully be a low-level Divine Body Cultivator, he decided to check out the requirements for the mid-level Divine Body Cultivator. Of course, at the same time, he also decided to check out the benefits of being a mid-level Divine Body Cultivator. ''Ding, The requirements to be a Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator are: 1) The storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness has to be 100,000 units. (Completed). 2) The host needs to temper his body with 10 million units of Divine Essence of Nature (1 million units / 10 million units). 3) Needs to underdo the body temping with Five Sentient mes. (Completed) First, the system showed him the requirements to be a Mid-level Divine Body Cultivator. From the three requirements, Ajax had alreadypleted two of them. Currently, Ajax has a storage capacity of more than one million units of Divine Essence of Nature for his Divine Spirit Consciousness and the first requirement only required one hundred thousand units of Storage Capacity. As for the other requirement, Ajax needed to undergo the body tempering with five sentient mes and Ajax hadpleted that requirement long back. ''The only problem was that the second requirement would take a lot of time toplete.'' Just to temper his body with one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax had to be patient with his cultivation and had to cultivate for a long time before sessfullypleting his body tempering. And now, he needs to temper his body with 10 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. So, it would take a lot of time. ''I should try toplete it before I leave the Floating Ind with the help of my Elemental Spirits.'' Looking at the Elemental Spirits that settled in various ces and cultivated, Ajax was a little excited and believed that it wouldn''t be as hard as it was for his one million units of body tempering. Moreover, Ajax no longer has a time limit for staying on the Floating Ind because he is one of the rulers of the Floating Ind and he can stay here as long as he wants. ''Even though I could stay here forever, it won''t be helpful to me, who requires a Divine Grade Fruit to sessfully convert my regr spirit cultivation into a Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Ajax knew very well that he had to go through different ces and search for the Divine Grade Fruit. ''First, I will try to look for the Divine Grade Fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm before venturing into the Dark Region.'' Ajax had already made up his mind before entering the Floating Ind about his future journeys and there was no changing in them. ''Anyway,pared to bing a Divine body Cultivator, bing a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator will be easier.'' For various reasons, Ajax felt that as he focused on the next thing which was to check the benefits of bing the mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator. ''Ding, The benefits of bing a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator are: 1) Increase the sess rate of the ascension to the Heavenly Human Realm by 10 percent. 2) Increases the Lifespan of a cultivator from 20,000 years to 50,000 years. 3) Resistance to Evil Energy, Poison and a few more things. Soon, three benefits appeared in front of Ajax. ''...'' When Ajax saw the benefits of bing a mid-level Emperor Realm, he was silent for a moment because he didn''t expect them to be so good. ''I thought the benefits wouldn''t be very interesting; however, it seems I am wrong.'' Nevertheless, aftering out of his silence, Ajax muttered to himself that his assumption was wrong. It was because who would expect that a cultivator could live for 50000 years? However, with the help of the mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation, he could live that long. ''If all the cultivators have such a long lifespan, then almost everyone would ascend to the Heavenly Realms without any problems.'' Ajax was scared at the thought of millions of cultivators ascending to the Heavenly Realms; however, he knew that it would be impossible to achieve that. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Not everyone could convert their Regr Body Cultivation into a Divine Body Cultivation and it would be even more impossible to be a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator. ''Wait a second¡­if I gain 50,000 years of lifespan with a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation, what if I be a high-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator? Will I have a lifespan of 100000 years?'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax became even more excited about pursuing his Divine Body Cultivation. Chapter 1877 Successful Skill Merging Chapter 1877 Sessful Skill Merging Normally, a regr high emperor realm cultivator will have a lifespan of 10000 years and as long as he was not killed in the middle, he could easily live for that long. Also, he could increase his lifespan by 10000 years by eating special fruits like Eternal World Fruit, Longevity Blessing Fruit and so on. However, by bing a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, the cultivator would directly gain that 10000-year life span and of course, he could still increase his lifespan by eating fruits like Eternal World Fruit. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om But now, Ajax learned that by bing a mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, his lifespan would increase by 30000 years and whenbined with the original lifespan of a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, he would reach a whopping 50000 years without the help of external resources. Also, Ajax''s thoughts followed the same pattern and thought about the high-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator''s benefits and predicted the lifespan increase by reaching that level. ''It looks like I have to reach the high-level emperor realm Divine Body Cultivator and increase my lifespan.'' ording to his master and the system, having a huge lifespan would be a boon. The system said that ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm as early as possible would be a good thing; however, when Ajax thought about it from another perspective, having a huge lifespan would also be considered a good thing. Thus, Ajax''s interest in having a good lifespan has increased. Also, Ajax knew that his Divine Spirit Cultivation would take time to achieve and at the same time, he also knew that progressing in the Divine Spirit Cultivation would be equally or even more difficult. Hence, the Divine Body Cultivation would help him in between while he searched for the resources required for the Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Anyway, these things are for the future. For now, I need to focus on my current goals in Floating Ind.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about those things and decided to think about his goals. ''Since I have sessfully converted my Normal Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation and even ate the Fruit of Summoners, it is finally time to take revenge.'' Ajax revealed a slight smile as he started nning, ''Should I erase the entire region or just challenge him to a duel using my rulership?'' ''If I challenge him now, I can''t challenge the other rulers for a while.'' It didn''t take much time for Ajax to think about what he wanted to do as he continued thinking, ''Moreover, the revenge was to take in person while destroying everything that b*stards owns right in front of him.'' Even though it was a little disadvantageous to attack a ruler in their territory, Ajax wanted to do it hard because of multiple reasons. One was obviously that he wanted to destroy everything in the Fire Region and two, he wanted to save his chance of challenging the other rulers. And the most important thing was, he wanted to check out the increase in his battle prowess. ''Of course, I should do that after I gain my new official skills.'' Even though Ajax was hell-bent on taking his revenge on the Bird Emperor, he didn''t forget about his new official skills. Once he gets them, Ajax believes he will be more powerful and the revenge tastes much sweeter that way. Hence, he waited for his new official skills, hoping that he would receive them soon as he could not wait toplete one of his goals. Time continued to pass and in a sh an hour passed by as Ajax finally received a series of system notifications that he was eagerly waiting for. ''Ding, After merging all the official skills that the host was supposed to get, they turned into 10 powerful Quasi-God Grade Skills. ''Ding, By merging all the skills from the Fire Elemental Spirits, the host has received an official skill: Purgatory''s Embrace. ''Ding, By merging all the skills from the Water Elemental Spirits, the host has received an official skill: Aquatic Mirage Maniption. . . ''Ding, By merging all the skills from the Metal Elemental Spirits, the host has received an official skill: Quicksilver Cyclone des. . . . . Before Ajax could check out all the system notifications, he felt lots of foreign knowledge enter his head and increase his mastery over the newly awakened official skills. ''W-why am I feeling dizzy all of sudden?'' Suddenly, Ajax felt his surroundings were spinning and before he could think what was happening to him, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. ¡­ In the Celestial Dawn Sect, "Sect Leader, all the preparations to open the Celestial Dawn Realm are done." An old man with a hunched back informed the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect with his wrinkled face that was filled with excitement. "Good. There is only a week left for the opening and once all the cultivators enter the Celestial Dawn Realm and die inside, I can rapidly increase the awakening of my Divine Rule in a single go." Theron, the Sect Leader of the Sect was excited as he could not wait to open the Celestial Dawn Realm right away. However, since the date of the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm was already announced by the ancestor from the Heavenly Human Realm, there was nothing Theron could do about it. "Sect Leader, please don''t forget about this old man when you ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm." The hunchback old man revealed an excited smile as he reminded his master whom he was following for thousands of years. "Of course¡­of course. How could I not help you, who have been following me for more than 8000 years and even helped me in stabilizing my authority in the Celestial Dawn Sect as the sect leader." Theron smiled in return as he assured the old man with words. "I might be the weakest one among all the five sect leaders but once the Celestial Dawn Realm is closed, I will not just be the strongest one but directly an ascended being¡­.Haha." Chapter 1878 Everyone With Their Own Plans Chapter 1878 Everyone With Their Own ns In the Human Region of the Universe, there were countless sects and families. Among them, five sects were so strong that the remaining sects and families had acknowledged them as the top five sects of the universe. Again, among these five sects, there were rankings and in them, the Celestial Dawn Sect was considered the weakest sect, at least strength-wise. And of course, the most important factor for the rankings of these sects was mainly dependent on the strength of their sect leaders and thus, Theron, the sect leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect was the weakest sect leader among the five sect leaders. Nevertheless, Theron was not disappointed or anxious about it because the Celestial Dawn Sect might be the weakest one but it was known for its resourcefulness. Hence, Theron knew that he had to patiently wait for his time and it was the time when the Celestial Dawn Realm opened. Luckily, the Celestial Dawn Realm was opening much sooner than he had expected and thus, his goal to ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm would be achieved much sooner than he thought. Moreover, by selling tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm, the Celestial Dawn Sect has gained arge number of cultivation resources, increasing the treasury of the sect. With that many resources, Theron was confident that his sect would not have to worry about the cultivation resources for a couple of decades. ''During this time, I don''t have to worry about the sect and fully focus on my cultivation and directly ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm¡­Haha.'' Therefore, Theron was excited and looking forward to the day when the Celestial Dawn Realm would open and all the powerful and genius cultivators of the universe enter it. ¡­. In the Greater Fire Dragon World, ''Damn it¡­how the hell that kid representing the Jade Dragon Emperor was so powerful?'' The Great Fire Dragon Emperor was furious when he learned that the Divine Dragon Trial went without any problem. ording to his ns, by ruining the trial, he could me the Stormfire Wyvern Emperor, Dakon and then take over his world along with the Sentient me in his world. However, thanks to Twilight, who was so powerful that he killed all the Darkfire Wraiths¡­ including the High-level Emperor Realm Darkfire Wraith, the Fire Dragon Emperor, Malgazar''s n waspletely ruined. ''Not only did I lose my opportunity to take over the Stormfire World but I still have to give a proper exnation to that b*tch, Morgana.'' Morgana is the sect leader of the Shadow Veil Sect, one of the top five sects and also the true mastermind behind Malgazar''s n. She was the one who gave the mutated Darkfire Wraith''s seeds to Malgazar to secretly imnt in the trial worlds of the Dark Region. Of course, she had her reasons for helping Malgazar and one of such reasons was getting exclusive ess to the Stormfire. However, since Malgazar has failed to gain control over the Stormifire Wyvern World, he has to answer her and bes anxious. "So, be it. I will be just honest with her and tell what happened. It''s not like I have ruined the n." Malgazar thought about it for a while and stopped worrying about it because he had another goal to achieve. ''Right now, I have to give my best in collecting as many cultivation resources as possible and increase the strength of my army and my strength too.'' It was none other than entering the Celestial Dawn Realm because he had invested almost everything he had into buying the tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm. If this n also gets ruined, then it would be the end of his reign as he would lose everything he got under the hands of neighbouring Dragon Emperors who were waiting for a perfect opportunity to take over the worlds under his control. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ In the Shadow Veil Sect, ''What a loser! He didn''t evenplete a simple task I gave him toplete.'' It''s been a few days since thepletion of the Divine Dragon Trial and of course, Morgana had already learned about the failure of the Greater Fire Dragon Emperor. However, as one of the top five sect leaders in the human region of the universe, she had many things¡­both official and unofficial things to do. So, she didn''t bother to use her breath on a lost cause; however, that doesn''t mean she was not angry at the Greater Fire Dragon Emperor. Whenever she remembered it, Morgana would curse the Greater Fire Dragon Emperor. "Everyone, even if you have to risk your lives, kill the b*stards from the Celestial Dawn Realm and the other sects. Don''t bother to fight the monsters from the Dragon Region." Even though she didn''t like the beast cultivators from the Dragon Region, Morgana knew those were monsters whom they should not confront unless it was a life-and-death situation. One of her main goals was to destroy the other top sects of the human region and be the solo leader of the entire human region. Especially the destruction of the Celestial Dawn Sect should be done ording to her because she believed it would easily rise to the top with its resources. Just like her, the remaining sects of the Human Region were also thinking in the same direction. Their main aim was to kill the youngsters from the Celestial Dawn Sect and if possible, kill the youngsters from the other sects and not to confront the beast cultivators from the Dragon Region unless it was absolutely required. It was because the beast cultivators are very strong within the same realm and they even have Beast Transformation Skill that makes them transform into their true beast form. In that form, their battle prowess rapidly increased along with their regeneration speed. So, fighting such monsters would only make them get killed and if by chance, they were lucky and killed those monsters, they would have been very tired that if they encountered other cultivators who were much weaker than them, they could be easily killed. Thus, it was a mandatory rule to avoid a direct confrontation with the beast cultivators from the Dragon Region. Chapter 1879 Five Elemental Official Skills Chapter 1879 Five Elemental Official Skills In the Floating Ind, ''Huh? What happened to me?'' Ajax gained consciousness with a splitting headache as he asked himself about what happened to him earlier. ''Is it because of my new official skills?'' After thinking for a while, Ajax thought of a reason and he felt it was the only possible reason why he could have fallen unconscious. ''Ding, Due to the sudden awakening of ten official skills of the highest grade possible in this realm, the host''s body automatically lost consciousness. Soon, there was a system notification that informed Ajax about the reason, making him nod his head in understanding. ''Anyway, other than a slight headache, I am perfectly alright.'' Since Ajax didn''t have any injuries, he didn''t think much about it as he silently thought, ''It is finally time to check out my new skills.'' With a thought, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax regarding his new official skills. ''Ding, All fire-type official skills merged into a single Quasi-God Grade official skill, the Purgatory''s Embrace. ''Ding, 1) Skill Name: Purgatory''s Embrace. Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: It is a skill that traps the foes in an inescapable ring of hellish fire with a radius of 100 kilometers, consuming their essence of nature and then their life span before turning them into ashes. Duration: One minute. Cooldown: One day. Even though there were so many system notifications, Ajax only checked them one by one as he tried to understand each one of his new skills properly. ''These skills are not just any regr skills by quasi-god or demi-god grade skills. With each one of these skills, I can be on an equal footing as the powerhouses of the universe.'' This was what he thought in his head as Ajax fully read the information about the Fire Official. ''As expected of a Quasi-God Grade skill. It sure is powerful.'' When he read the effect of the skill, Ajax was momentarily shocked because 100 kilometers of the radius was a huge range. With such a huge range, Ajax could instantly decimate the hundreds of thousands of Zeroth order Demon Apostles in an instant. So, it was obvious that Ajax was shocked at such a powerful skill. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''But the duration is only one minute and the cooldown is one whole day.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried too much about it because he had other quasi-god-grade skills to make up for these shorings. ''As long as I use them properly, I can always use them against my enemies.'' Ajax was already nning the same thing with his Divine Rules and now, he would just replicate the same thing for his new quasi-god grade official skills. Thus, he was not bothered about the cold down and the duration of the skill. ''Next.'' Soon after, Ajax checked the remaining four official skills belonging to the five elements. ''Ding, All water-type official skills merged into a single Quasi-God Grade official skill, the Aquatic Mirage Maniption. ''Ding, 1) Skill Name: Aquatic Mirage Maniption. Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: With the help of the Divine Essence of Nature, the user can summer water with which he could create illusions, distorting reality and confusing the enemies around. Duration: One minute. Cooldown: One day. ''Ding, All earth-type official skills merged into a single Quasi-God Grade official skill, the Oblivion Quake Abyss. ''Ding, 1) Skill Name: Oblivion Quake Abyss. Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: With a single step, the user can unleash an earthquake that opens a rift to the abyss which would consume everyone within a radius of 100 kilometers. Duration: One minute. Cooldown: One day. ''Ding, All wind-type official skills merged into a single Quasi-God Grade official skill, the Aetherial Wind Cloak. ''Ding, 1) Skill Name: Aetherial Wind Cloak. Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: With a thought, the user can summon an invisible wind cloak with which he can cover himself to turn invisible. The other effect of the cloak is to increase the speed of the user by 10 times. Duration: One minute. ''Ding, All metal-type official skills merged into a single Quasi-God Grade official skill, the Quicksilver Cyclone des. ''Ding, 1) Skill Name: Quicksilver Cyclone des. Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: The user can summon a whirlwind of razor-sharp, quicksilver des that can cut through armour, deflect projectiles, and swiftly dismantle obstacles in the way. Duration: One minute. ''Ding, When a cultivator activates his Divine Rules, he can not use the official skills of Quasi-God Grade due to the same nature of the power (Divine and God). Soon, the information about the four official skills from the Five Elemental Skills was projected in front of Ajax just like the fire elemental skill [Purgatory''s Embrace]. Each one of these official skills had the same duration of one minute with a cooldown of one day and of course, when Ajax read the effect of these skills, he understood the reason behind it. It was because each one of these skills is as equally powerful as the first skill [Purgatory''s Embrace] that he checked. As for thest system notification regarding not being able to use the Divine Rules, Ajax was not surprised much about it because he already knew about it. ''Except for the wind-type official skill [Aetherial Wind Cloak], all other official skills deal a lot of damage to my enemies.'' After checking out the Five Elemental Skills, Ajax made somements about them. ''However, with the help of the [Aetherial Wind Cloak], I can make sneak attacks.'' Since he could turn invisible and at the same time, increase his speed by 10 times, Ajax could make full use of this skill in silently killing his enemies before the time was up. ''This is just half of my newly awakened official skills. There are still five more official skills belonging to some unique elements.'' After fully understanding the usage of his first five official skills, Ajax was ready to check the other half of the official skills. With a thought, another series of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax that pleasantly surprised him. Chapter 1880 Floral Resurrection Bloom Chapter 1880 Floral Resurrection Bloom ''Ding, The remaining five Quasi-God Grade official skills are: ''Ding, 1) Blood Moon Eclipse: Upon activation, the user can create a half-worldly event, transforming the moon in the world, into a blood-red hue, covering half of the world. Note: 1) All the allies in the blood-red hue will have their battle prowess increased by two times regardless of their own temporary boosts. 2) All the enemies in the blood-red hue will have their battle prowess reduced by half. Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Day. Before Ajax could even read the full information about the Blood-Elemental Official Skill, he was pleasantly surprised with the first system notification. It was because his remaining Five Official Skills were also of Quasi-God Grade. Among all his elemental spirits, Ajax mostly formed contracts with only five types of Elemental Spirits namely, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal. So, when the contracts with these Elemental Spirits were converted from unofficial to official, he got more official skills rted to these elements and thus, they were able to merge with one another and eventually turned into Five Quasi-God Grade Official Skills. However, for the remaining five official skills, there were not many skills to begin with and what''s more, even among them, they werepletely different from one another. So, even if they were merged with one another, they wouldn''t be giving him much higher-level official skills. Thus, when Ajax saw that his remaining five official skills were also of Quasi-God Grade, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised. ''Ding, During the merging, all 1400+ official skills were merged with one another regardless of the elements. ''Ding, Of course, half of them were mostly merged depending on the elements, and the remaining half of the skills were merged together regardless of the elements. Soon, Ajax received the default system notifications, exining the reason why his remaining five official skills were also of Quasi-God Grade. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Interesting.'' Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction and focused on checking out his official skills. ''Blood Moon Eclipse ... .a powerful name and even the effect of the skill is very powerful. It must be abination of Blood Elemental Spirit, Mist and Light Elemental Spirits.'' From the skill, Ajax was able to guess what type of official skills were merged together to eventually form a Blood Moon Eclipse. A skill that could affect an entire half-world¡­how could it not be considered powerful? ''Even though the duration and the cooldown of the skill remain the same as the other five Elemental Official Skills, this is considered my strongest skill now.'' Ajax gave the highest rating for these skills becausepared to the previous five skills, which only had a radius of 100 kilometers, the [Blood Moon Eclipse] could cover half a world. ''This only makes me more curious and excited about my remaining four skills.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax checked out the other skills. ''Ding, Skill Name: Floral Resurrection Bloom Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: Upon activation, the user will create a field of enchanting flowers within a 100 kilometers of radius which revive fallen allies and grant them renewed temporary strength before returning to their original self. Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Day. ''What the ... .a resurrection skill?'' Even though Ajax was excited about his other skills after seeing the Blood Moon Eclipse, he didn''t expect to see another skill that was more powerful than that. However, the next skill he saw in the list was more powerful than the Blood Moon Eclipse, making him thoroughly shocked. ''With these two skills alone, I can easily conquer the Floating Ind.'' Nevertheless, Ajax recovered from the shock and could not help but think about the next goal in his mind¡­which was to conquer another region in the Floating Ind. When he thought about it, Ajax felt the skills [Blood Moon Eclispe] and the [Floral Resurrection Bloom] were enough to defeat the next ruler of the Floating Ind. ''Even though the skill duration is only one minute, just imagining all my Elemental Spirits, Contracted Spirit Beasts, Siora, Father and my other followers go out with their full prowess without fearing death¡­.it would be enough to kill a powerful enemy in the universe.'' Ajax was already confident in taking over the Floating Ind and now, with these official skills, he felt it was a piece of cake for him to be the sole owner of the Floating Ind. ''Let''s see what kind of heaven-defying effects my other official skills have.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax checked out the remaining three official skills in a single go. Soon, three system notifications appeared in front of Ajax, informing everything about the skills. ''Ding, Skill Name: Absolute Zero Annihtion: Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: A skill that freezes everything within a radius of 100 kilometers regardless of friend or foe before turning them into nothingness. Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Day. ''Ding, Skill Name: Oblivion Cloak Phantasm Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: The user can release the Divine Essence of Nature from his body in the form of the Divine Dark Essence of Nature within a radius of 100 kilometers. Within the radius of Darkness, the user bes intangible and immune to physical harm and at the same time, his attacks could harm the enemies. Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Day. ''Ding, Skill Name: Nature''s Vitality Domain Skill Grade: Quasi-God Grade. Effect: Upon activation, the user can rapidly speed up the growth of Ancient Trees and the Ancient Trees that he helped grow would share their vitality with him and quickly heal and even regenerate his body except for his head and heart. Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Day. ''Hm.'' However, his excitement decreased a little when he saw the next three official skills. Even though they were Quasi-God Grade official skills and were powerful in their way, Ajax''s expectations were sky-high after checking out the [Blood Moon Eclispe] and [Floral Resurrection Bloom]. Hence, he was a little disappointed when the effects of these three official skills were not as damaging as dealing with the earlier two skills. Chapter 1881 [Nature’s Vitality Domain] ''Nevertheless, these three skills have their own uses and having diverse skills is always the best thing.'' After some time, Ajax muttered to himself and adjusted his mindset regarding thest three official skills. Absolute Zero Annihtion will freeze and destroy everything within 100 kilometers, it was a powerful mass-destroying skill whereas the remaining two were supportive-type skills. ''With Oblivion Cloak Phantasm, I can be intangible and escape all the iing attacks and at the same time, it makes things easier to assassinate the enemies.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax muttered the usage of hisst two skills, ''As for the Nature''s Vitality Domain, I can increase the age of my Mythical Trees in the Inner World.'' ''Since I can also connect with them during the battle to share their vitality and even generate my body parts, it is a good supportive skill.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax decided to use this skill to form a connection with the Ancient Trees in the Inner World. Even though Ajax could only form a connection with them when the skill is activated, he should first establish the connection with the ancient trees. Thus, without wasting any time, Ajax entered the Inner World. Inner World, [Nature''s Vitality Domain] As soon as Ajax activated his new Quasi-God Grade official skill, his body emitted a bright green-coloured light that covered the entire Inner World. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The Essence of Nature in the Inner World was alreadyparable to that of a Greater World and now it seemed to turn even more pure. Compared to the change in the Essence of Nature, the growth of the three trees in the Inner World attracted Ajax''s attention because they were growing at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host has activated his official skill [Nature''s Vitality Domain]. ''Ding, The official skill''s effect willst for a minute. At the same time, Ajax received the system notifications regarding the activation and the duration of the [Nature''s Vitality Domain]. ''I wonder how many years my trees will grow under the effects of the [Nature''s Vitality Domain].'' Ajax didn''t bother to check the system notifications as he curiously waited for the one minute to quickly pass. However, Ajax felt that the time was moving slowly and after what felt like a year, Ajax finally received the system notifications. ''Ding, The effects of the [Nature''s Vitality Domain] have disappeared and the official skill has entered a cooldown which is one day. ''Ding, From the effects of the skill, the following three trees are grown by: 1) The Tree of Blessing (Grace) has grown by 4999 years and reached 19999 years old 2) Soul Nourishing Tree (Alma) has grown by 8000 years and reached 20000 years old. 3) Standard World Tree (Zoe) has grown by 6500 years and reached 21000 years old. Soon, the system informed the growth of his three trees, making Ajax thoroughly shocked. ''Am I seeing things or did these trees really grow this much in a single usage of my skill?'' Ajax rubbed his eyes as he checked the growth of his three trees and soon became excited. It was because he didn''t expect that the trees would grow nearly 20000 yearsbined in a single minute. ''Since the skill only has a cooldown of one day, I can use it again tomorrow to grow them once again.'' When Ajax thought of using his skill [Nature''s Vitality Domain] daily on his three Mythical Grade trees, then it would be a matter of time before they reached 100000 years and even reaching a million years wouldn''t be a problem as he would use the nt essence along with his skill. ''Except for the Tree of Blessing, the other two trees reached 20000 years; however, they didn''t bear any new fruits or unlocked new skills.'' This was a small thing that dissatisfied Ajax; however, when he thought about how it became easier for him to grow the Mythical Grade Trees, that slight bit of dissatisfaction disappeared. If every day, each one of his trees grows by 5000 years, it won''t even take a month for them to reach 100000 years old. When an ancient tree reaches 100000 years old, Ajax knew that it would undergo a full transformation and unlock more heaven-defying fruits and abilities. So, when Ajax learned that he could easily achieve that feat with the help of his new official skill, why would he not be excited about it? ''My only worry is that as the age of the tree increases, it bes increasingly difficult to nurture them and the effect of my official skill might decrease. Hopefully, the effect of my skill doesn''t decrease until my tree reaches 100,000 years old.'' Ajax believed that 10000, 100000, and 1000000 years old for a tree are the milestones which wouldpletely change the tree and its uses. Since he had already reached the first milestone, Ajax was hoping that his new skill''s effect would remain the same every day until the trees reached the second milestone. After that, Ajax knew it would take a lot of time to reach the third milestone and he was ready to wait for that, unlike the second milestone which he wanted to achieve as soon as possible. The main reason he wanted his trees to reach 100000 years old was that he wanted to see whether he could get any divine-grade fruits from them. ''If I am lucky enough to get at least a single Divine Grade Fruit, I can directly convert my regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Hence, he was looking forward to nurturing the three Mythical Grade trees to 100000 years old. ''In total, I have six Mythical Grade trees and my chances of getting a Divine Grade Fruit from them when they were nurtured to 100000 years old was very high.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax wanted to check how many years he could increase for his Mythical Grade Trees tomorrow with his official skill. ''Anyway, before that, I have toplete my revenge and conquer another one of the regions of the Floating Ind.'' Chapter 1882 Guide ''Anyway, before that, I have toplete my revenge and conquer another one of the regions of the Floating Ind.'' Since Ajax couldn''t fast-forward the time, all he could do until he used his new official skill [Nature''s Vitality Domain] again was toplete his next goals in the Floating Ind. Coincidentally, Ajax couldplete two of his goals just by doing one thing and it was to destroy the Golden-Winged Middle-aged Bird Man named Aveline. By killing him, not only would Ajaxplete his revenge for Snow, but he could also be the owner of the Fire Region of the Floating Ind. As for how confident Ajax was in defeating Aveline and conquering the Fire Region, it used to be above 80 percent; however, with the addition of his new official skills, it has crossed 100 percent. ''Spirit of the Floating Ind, why don''t you guide me on thefastest route to the Fire Region?'' Even though Ajax knew the directions to the Fire Region, it was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and it would take a lot of time and energy for him. Hence, Ajax asked the Spirit of the Floating Ind. The Spirit of the Floating Ind could be considered as a spiritual consciousness of the Floating Ind and stays connected to all the rulers of the Ind. Of course, it treats all the rulers exactly the same and the same rules and privileges are applied to them depending on their seniority. The old rulers of the Floating Ind can''t challenge a new ruler of the Floating Ind whereas the new rulers can challenge whoever he wishes. That''s one of the main reasons why Ajax was not challenged by any of the older rulers despite being a year or so since he officially became the ruler of the Metal Region. [Of course, I can. As the spiritual consciousness of the Floating Ind, I must guide you] A small orb of light appeared in front of Ajax and replied to him in a calm andposed tone. However, it didn''t directly guide Ajax to the Fire Region; instead, the light orb asked Ajax, [Metal Ruler, you wish you could conquer the Fire Region?] "Yes." Ajax nodded his head and he was not bothered to let the Spirit of the Floating Ind know about his intention. [Really? If you are sure about the battle prowess that you are going through a direct confrontation, why don''t you just challenge the Fire Region''s Ruler for an official duel] The light orb suggested Ajax for an official duel because it would be easy and the damage done to the regions involved in the fight would be regional. Of course, one of the rulers dies in the official duel while the other one would be either injured moderately or severely. But there would be zero damage for the regions and none of the subordinates from the regions would die. What''s more, the winner of the other region would gain an average loyalty of the other region which would either increase or decrease depending on how their rulers would treat them. There were cases where the loyalty of the subordinates increased and heavily contributed to the development of the region and expanding the boundaries of the region. Also, some subordinates betrayed the new ruler in a difficult situation and dethroned him before bing the ruler of that particr region directly. "It''s alright! I have no intention of getting new subordinates¡­not especially the ones who made me hide in fear in my previous visit to the Floating Ind." Even though the one who gave the order to capture Ajax was Avelin, the ruler of the Fire Region of the Floating Ind, Ajax had developed a hatred towards different types of subordinates who searched for him. After many battles, Ajax naturally became immune to kindness and at the same time, he realized something. If he showers a little bit of kindness on his enemy''s subordinates, they might be following him for a while; however, there might be some really dead loyal subordinates of his enemy who were waiting to kill him when he was in a tough situation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Also, Ajax didn''t want someone who would betray him once he died and acknowledge someone else as their new master. Hence, Ajax was not interested in taking in the subordinates of his enemies. ''Also, the most important thing was, I want a bloody revenge where I have to feel my thirst for revenge subside.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax replied, "My goal is not to conquer the region to get more subordinates; instead, it is to defeat all the rulers of the Floating Ind and be the sole master of the Floating Ind." After saying that, Ajax waited for a reply from the Spirit of the Floating Ind. [Bing the Sole Master of the Floating Ind] In a surprised tone, there was a reply from the Light Orb and there were no more questions from it. Instead, it replied, [Follow me. I will guide you in the shortest possible route to the Fire Region but you must kill some unevolved monsters in that route. Is that okay for you?] "I will be d to have some warm-up before fighting the bigger fish¡­Haha." Ajax replied with augh and the light orb didn''t seem to be much surprised about it as the light orb flew in a particr direction at an incredible speed. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he didn''t waste any time in repeatedly using his movement skill to follow the light orb. In the Floating Ind, there are five regions and they were namely: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal. It is the basic knowledge of the Floating Ind that everyone knows. However, there was something that most of the cultivators, including the Five Human Elemental Emperors whose worlds were connected to the Floating Ind, didn''t know. It was, that each one of these regions didn''t share the same boundaries and between each region, there was a huge area where powerful unevolved spirit beasts roamed. Chapter 1883 A Powerful Unevolved Spirit Beast Chapter 1883 A Powerful Unevolved Spirit Beast Even though it was believed that all the regions of the Floating Ind were side by side without any gap between them, this was not true. From a microscopic geography, these regions have some dense forests in which many unevolved spirit beasts live. These unevolved spirit beasts didn''t have a high intelligence and only flowed their primitive instincts which were to fight, devour and be stronger. Due to these instincts, after who knows how many years, the unevolved spirit beasts at the top of the food chain became so powerful to the point where they could fight with the rulers of the different regions of the Floating Ind. Of course, with the huge gap in intelligence, the rulers would have a clear advantage and would eventually win with their battle tactics. However, the rulers don''t want to mess with them as it would only make them use their trump cards and the rulers from the other regions would only take advantage to challenge orunch a sneak attack on that particr ruler. Currently, Ajax was being guided in such a route where the unevolved spirit beasts were nearly as powerful as the rulers of the regions. ''Swoosh'' [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' A light orb and a flickering human''s silhouette moved towards the Fire Region of the Floating Ind at an incredible speed. They were none other than Ajax and the spirit of the Floating Ind. [Ruler of the Metal Region, you need to be as careful as you might¡­] ''Boom'' As they were travelling, the spirit of the Floating Ind was about to warn Ajax about something; however, before it could finish its words, Ajax collided with some kind of barrier and sted into the distance. ''Swoosh'' [That is what I was talking about. The unevolved spirit beasts in the Floating Ind might be less intelligent; however, they would set up barriers in their respective territories to know someone passes by their territories] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om [Instead of hating when someone passes through their territory, they would be excited and fight them] The light orb flew to Ajax in an instant and exined the things that it was exining earlier. "If it was excited to fight me, then I will give it itsst fight." Actually, Ajax was happy to fight some unevolved spirit beasts; however, his mood was not good right now after being sted away by the barrier. So, he wanted to kill the unevolved spirit beast most painfully. ''Roar'' Just as he replied to the light orb, a powerful and angry roar came from the distance. [Be careful, the ruler of the Metal Region, from the roar, it seems that these unevolved spirit beasts seemed to be very furious; instead of being very excited about the fight] [Anyway, it is your fight and I hope an unevolved spirit beast stops you from your big goal of conquering the entire Floating Ind] Following the Spirit Beast''s roar, the Light Orb said its thoughts and wished Ajax for his victor before disappearing without a trace. ''I don''t care whether it is excited or angry about the fight. Whoever stands in my way, I will put them 100 feet under.'' It was not like Ajax intentionally disturbed this so-called unevolved spirit beast for a fight. All he cared about was to kill the ruler of the Fire Region toplete his revenge and at the same time, decrease one less region of the Floating Ind to conquer. ''Roar'' ''Rumble'' ''Kacha'' As Ajax was ready for the fight and waited for the unevolved spirit beast to show itself, he heard another angry roar from the distance and what followed next was an earthquake. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''So, it''s an earth-type spirit beast.'' Ajax made a couple of jumps to avoid the holes amidst the cracks and analysed the unevolved spirit beasts which was yet to show itself. However, he could tell that it was an Earth-type Emperor Realm Spirit Beast that was very powerful. ''Swoosh'' ''What the¡­'' When Ajax thought that it was just an Earth-type Spirit Beast, suddenly, mes sted out of the cracks in the ground, making Ajax a little surprised. ''It is going to be interesting.'' Suddenly, there was a slight smile on Ajax''s face because, from just this single attack, Ajax could tell that it was the strongest spirit beast that he had encountered so far. ''I wonder whether these unevolved spirit beasts have any Divine Rule?'' At the same time, Ajax''s curiosity regarding the unevolved spirit beasts regarding their Divine Rules increased. The thing is, the attack used by the unevolved spirit beast was already powerful enough to be considered a threat to the most powerful Emperor Realm Cultivators and how powerful it would be once it activated the Divine Rule. As for whether the unevolved spirit beasts have the Divine Rules or not, Ajax would figure it out in a short while. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' "Why don''t youe out and show yourself?" Ajax dodged the mesing out of the cracks on the ground and asked the unevolved spirit beast toe out of its hiding ce. [Inferno Earth Bombs] ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' On the other hand, the unevolved spirit beasts didn''t bother toe out as they continued to attack Ajax with their other attacks when they threw some mud balls; however, when they reached Ajax, they would explode like bombs. ''Now, you are annoying me.'' Ajax was experienced in various battles and these kinds of small tricks don''t work on him. He skillfully dodged those iing mud bombs and checked his surroundings while doing it. "Since you don''t want toe out, I will force you out." With a serious look in his eyes and a smirk on his face, Ajax silently muttered, ''It is finally time to use one of my new official skills and test exactly how powerful they are.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he shouted, [Absolute Zero Annihiliation] ''Swoosh'' ''Fuuu'' The fire whips and the mes inside the cracks of the ground were frozen in an instant and the chaotic situation in the forest suddenly became very calm. Chapter 1884 Infernal Earth Behemoth Chapter 1884 Infernal Earth Behemoth Absolute Zero annihtion is a skill that freezes everyone in its way within 100 kilometers radius. Currently, the attack from the hidden unevolved spirit beast was covering an area of around 20-30 kilometers of radius andpared to that, Ajax''s attack was covering five times more. As soon as he activated the skill, the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness depleted rapidly and was converted into a chilling cold energy that froze everything within a 100 kilometers of radius. Everything¡­means the cracked ground, the mesing out of those cracks, trees, small water bodies¡­everything. ''There is no system notification regarding the kill¡­so, it seems that an unevolved spirit beast is still alive.'' Ajax was a little surprised at the fact that he was unable to kill the unevolved spirit beast with his Quasi-God grade official skill. ''It''s a good thing that it didn''t freeze to death underground.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was not disappointed about it as he believed that the unevolved spirit beast on the other side must be much stronger than him. ''Kacha'' On the other hand, cracks slowly formed on the ice around Ajax and with each passing second, the cracks grew bigger and bigger. ''Roar'' Eventually, Ajax heard the familiar roar from before; however,pared to before, the roar was not as powerful or angry as before. However, the unevolved spirit beast doesn''t seem to give up fighting Ajax as four long shivering tentaclese out of the cracks. ''So, it is finallying out.'' Even though Ajax could instantly kill it by using another one of his official skills, he saved them for Avelin, the ruler of the Fire Region. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' ''Roar'' Slowly, the entire body of the unevolved spirit beast came out of the cracks and looked at Ajax with full killing intent in its eyes. The unevolved spirit beast''s body was colossal and had a terrifying appearance with many tentacles; however, almost all of them looked lifeless except for the four tentacles. Even those four tentacles had weak mes that were flickering and might disappear at any time. ''Even though you are shivering, your killing intent doesn''t seem to decrease at all.'' Ajax didn''t see the spirit beast before to tell that the killing intent was the same; however, from the stare it was giving him, Ajax was sure about it. [Multiple me Tentacles] As Ajax was checking out the features of the huge unevovled spirit beast, the beast didn''t waste any time in attacking him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the mes on the four active tentacles increased as they tried to whip Ajax to death. ''Even after getting hit by my official skill, the [Absolute Zero Annihtion], it is still able to use some powerful attacks.'' Although he didn''t get hit by any of the four fire tentacles, Ajax could tell exactly how powerful they were and how deadly it would be if he got hit by them. ''Anyway, it is time to put it out o'' Initially, Ajax wanted to drag the fight; however, he was angered by the unevolved spirit beast, making him use one of his powerful official skills. Because of that, the unevolved spirit beast was injured in its current state. Nevertheless, even in its current state, Ajax knew he had to use a trump card or two to kill it in a single second. ''Let''s use Twilight and finish it in a single go before rushing towards the Fire Region.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax thought for a moment before deciding which one of his trump cards to use. Since Twilight was his contracted spirit beast, he was also a part of Ajax''s strength. Moreover, by using Twilight, Ajax doesn''t need to waste any of his trump cards. Also, Twilight could still help him while taking care of the ruler of the Fire Region. Thus, Ajax decided to use the Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon to kill the unevolved spirit beast in the shortest time possible. ''Roar'' As soon as Ajax released Twilight from his Inner World, the young body directly transformed into his beast form and excitedly roared at the unevolved spirit beast. ''Does that spirit beast unevolved or Twilight?'' Looking at Twilight, Ajax could not help but question himself because, for a moment, Ajax didn''t find any difference between Twilight and the Unevolved Spirit Beast. [Heavenly Dragon Insights] However, what Ajax didn''t know was that Twilight was not blindly rushing to fight the unevolved spirit beast. While roaring at the unevolved spirit beast, Twilight silently used his skill to get information about his enemy. [Spirit Beast Name: Infernal Earth Behemoth] [Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm] [Skills: Fiery Earthquake, Multiple me Tentacles, Inferno Earth Bombs¡­] [Divine Rules: 1) Divine me Rule (10 percent), 2) Divine Earth Rule (10 percent)] . . . Soon, Twilight received a bunch of information about the colossal spirit beast in front of him. ''Huh? It has two Divine Rules?'' For a moment, Twilight was shocked to see the Infernal Earth Behemoth in front of him have two Divine Rules. What''s more, both of these Divine Rules were awakened by 10 percent. As a spirit beast himself, Twilight knew exactly how hard it was for them toprehend the Divine Rules and even though Twilight was able to awaken three Divine Rules, it was because he had support behind him. As for the unevolved spirit beast in front of him, it was an unevolved spirit beast whose intelligence andprehension were much worse than his but awakened 10 percent for both the Divine Rules on its own. Hence, Twilight could not help but be shocked for a moment and at the same time, his respect towards this unevolved spirit beast increased a lot. ''Even though my respect towards you has grown, that doesn''t mean I am not going to kill you. Instead, I will give you a proper fight that satisfies you before you close your eyes for eternity.'' With that being said, Twilight became serious and decided to go kill it. On the other hand, Ajax, who believed that the Infernal Earth Behemoth was on itsst leg, waspletely clueless about the beast''s two Divine Rules. Chapter 1885 Infernal Earth Behemoth (2) Chapter 1885 Infernal Earth Behemoth (2) [Twilight Cannon] ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' [Inferno Earth Bombs] ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' Both Twilight and the Infernal Earth Behemoth used one skill after another to attack each other and most of their attacks ended up in a stalemate. ''Huh? Why is Twilight taking so long to defeat this unevolved spirit beast which was on itsst leg?'' On the other hand, Ajax raised his brows seeing that Twilight was taking a lot more time than he expected. The reason Ajax summoned Twilight to take care of the unevolved spirit beast was so that it could be killed in a short time. However, from the looks of it, Ajax felt that he had greatly underestimated the unevolved spirit beast. Even after fighting for five minutes, Twilight was not able to kill it, making Ajax a little surprised. ''No wonder, the spirit of the Floating Ind was warning me about these unevolved spirit beasts. They are as powerful as the rulers just based on their tenacity.'' Eventually, Ajax epted the fact that the unevolved spirit beasts were really powerful and were on par with the rulers. ''However, the concept of Divine Rules changes things.'' Nevertheless, Ajax still believed that the Rulers of the various regions of the Floating Ind still held an upper handpared to the unevolved spirit beasts who had lessprehension in awakening their Divine Rules. "Twilight, use one of your Divine Rules and finish it." Ajax still has a region to conquer and revenge to avenge. Thus, he ordered the Divine Twilight Destructive Dragon to kill it as soon as possible. "Brother Ajax, if I use a Divine Rule, it will also use it and I believe it would take even longer to defeat it that way." However, Twilight didn''t follow Ajax''s orders blindly as he informed Ajax about the Infernal Earth Behemoth''s Divine Rules. "What? It awakened a Divine Rule?" Ajax was surprised for a moment and looked at the Infernal Earth Behemoth in a different light and at the same time, he finally understood how the Infernal Earth Behemoth was able to withstand his official skill [Absolute Zero Annihtion]. When a cultivator awakens a Divine Rule, his body naturally undergoes some minute yet powerful changes. Even when they didn''t activate their Divine Rules, all their attacks contained a small amount of Divine Rule''s power and at the same time, it also increased the defence power of the cultivator. Thus, there was a clear difference between a cultivator who awakened a Divine Rule and who didn''t. ''So, its power ising from its Divine Rule.'' Now, Ajax learned from Twilight that the unevolved spirit beast in front of him had awakened a Divine Rule and when he thought about how the spirit beast was still surviving and even fought Twilight on equal terms, he was no longer surprised. "Brother Ajax, it''s not just one Divine Rule but two. What''s more, both Divine Rules are awakened by 10 percent each." Twilight corrected Ajax''s words by saying that the Infernal Earth Behemoth had awakened two Divine Rules, each with 10 percent of awakening. ''What? Two Divine Rules with 10 percent of awakening each?'' Ajax was already surprised to hear that the unevolved spirit beast had awakened a Divine Rule and now, he learned that it had awakened two and each one of its Divine Rules had an awakening of 10 percent. "No wonder, it was on equal terms with Twilight and if Twilight activates his Divine Rules, the spirit beast will also do the same." Considering the duration for each Divine Rule for 5 minutes, it would take at least 10 minutes for Twilight to kill the Infernal Earth Behemoth. Thus, Twilight was not activating the Divine Rule because as long as the unevolved spirit beast didn''t activate its Divine Rule, it would be a matter of time before Twilight killed it. On the other hand, the Infernal Earth Behemoth could tell that the opponent in front of it was a Divine Dragon with at least two Divine Rules because Dragons were known for theirprehension speed and what''s more, Divine Dragons are the most powerful ones among all dragons. Thus, it was also not activating the Divine Rules because once the other side activates the Divine Rules, the fight will be over in less than 10 minutes. In short, both sides were being careful and at the same time, respecting one another in their fight. ''If I didn''t use the [Absolute Zero Annilhtion], then it would have been trouble for even Twilight to deal with it.'' Finally, Ajax understood what the Spirit of the Floating Ind had warned him about and nodded his head. "Fine¡­take your own time and kill it." After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to wait for ten minutes and let Twilight kill the Infernal Earth Behemoth without using the Divine Rules. [Dark Destructive st] [Divine Dragon Roar] [Dragon w Strike] . . . [Blessing of Fire and Earth] [Fiery Earth Spikes] [Rapid Tentacle Strikes] . . . The two sides continued to fight for a little more than ten minutes and without much surprise, the Infernal Earth Behemoth could not win against Twilight and fell to the ground. ''Ding, The host''s contracted spirit beast has sessfully killed the Infernal Earth Behemoth. Finally, the system notification that Ajax was waiting for appeared in his head, making him heave a sigh of relief. "Brother Ajax, I am done with it. Where is the next target?" As someone who always likes to fight, Twilight asked about his next target because he knew that Ajax was going to take revenge on some powerful being. So, Twilight was also excited about it and asked Ajax. "Spirit of the Floating Ind,e out and guide me." As for Ajax, he called the Spirit of the Floating Ind, asking him to guide him to the Fire Region. ''Swoosh'' [I am here] In the next second, the light orb appeared and congratted Ajax for killing his opponent who was ready to guide him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Brother Ajax, I saw these two crystalse out of the Infernal Earth Behemoth''s corpse." However, they were stopped by Twilight who gave Ajax the two shining crystals that he collected from the corpse. Chapter 1886 Bestial Divine Crystals Chapter 1886 Bestial Divine Crystals The two crystals were of different colours. One was red and the other one was khaki colour and they were shining brightly to the point where one could tell by a look that they were valuable. ''System, let''s check them.'' Even though the system was currently in upgrade, Ajax could use it to check the information on the items and thus, Ajax checked the information on the shining crystals brought by Twilight. ''Ding, n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Item Name: Bestial Divine Crystal. Element-type: Fire. Awakening percentage: 5 percent Effect: When a spirit beast consumes this crystal, it could increase its Divine Fire Rule from anywhere between 1 to 5 percent depending on the awakening percentage of its own Divine Fire Rule. Note: If a spirit beast that didn''t have the Divine Fire Rule consumes this Divine Crystal, then that spirit beast might die. ''Ding, Item Name: Bestial Divine Crystal. Element-type: Earth. Awakening percentage: 5 percent Effect: When a spirit beast consumes this crystal, it could increase its Divine Earth Rule from anywhere between 1 to 5 percent depending on the awakening percentage of its own Divine Earth Rule. Soon, Ajax received two system notifications and when he read the details, he was shocked for a moment. ''Th-these things¡­they are really useful in increasing the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules.'' In no time, the shock on Ajax''s face disappeared and it was reced with excitement. ''ording to Twilight, the Infernal Earth Behemoth had two Divine Rules and each had an awakening percentage of 10 percent.'' Ajax suppressed his excitement and started thinking about the Bestial Divine Crystals and how exactly they work. ''Since it had 10 percent of awakening for its Divine Rules, the Besital Divine Crystals I got after killing the unevolved spirit beast has half of its awakening percentage.'' ''What''s more, by consuming one Divine Crystal, it is not guaranteed for the consumed spirit beast to gain that whole awakening percentage inside the crystals. It might be from one to the percentage stored in it.'' With the information he gained, Ajax understood as much as possible and concluded, ''So, I can increase the awakening percentage of my contracted spirit beasts'' Divine Rules by killing the other spirit beasts with Divine Rules.'' Soon, Ajax added another goal to his list of goals and it was to kill as many spirit beasts with Divine Rules as possible and get his hands on as many Bestial Divine Crystals as possible. With that, his contracted spirit beasts could quickly increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. The thing is,pared to the human cultivators, the spirit beasts have lessprehension and because of that, it would take a lot of time for them to awaken the Divine Rules and increase their awakening percentage. No matter how many resources Ajax provides them, it would be still slower whenpared to the speed at which his contracted spirit beasts could increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules. ''Also, it would have been nice if I could get the Divine Crystals for humans to use.'' When Ajax thought about how the spirit beasts have a nice cheat to increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules by killing and devouring each other, Ajax expected the humans to have such a cheat. It was not because he was nning to use those Divine Crystals for himself; instead, he was nning to give them to his followers¡­especially to the 100 old men, waiting for him in the Five Elemental World. ''Anyway, let''s stop thinking about those things and focus on whom should I reward these Bestial Divine Crystals to?'' With that thought in mind, Ajax thought about it. Even though it was Twilight who killed the unevolved spirit beast and got the Bestial Divine Crystals for him, they were of no use to him. Hence, Ajax removed Twilight from the list and of course, for the same reason, Ajax was able to remove almost everyone from the list. ''Let''s give the Earth Divine Crystal to Little Dan who recently awakened his Divine Earth Rule and as for the Fire Divine Crystal¡­.'' In the end, Ajax didn''t take much time for the Earth Divine Crystal as he decided to give it to the Little Golden Bear Emperor. As for the Fire Divine Crystal, Ajax thought of Raweth; however, Raweth''s awakening percentage for his Divine Rule had already reached 20 percent. So, giving him this particr Fire Divine Crystal might not even increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Fire Rule by one percent. After thinking for a moment, Ajax silently tossed the Fire Divine Crystal into the Inner World and transmitted his voice, ''ck Kitty, Red Kitty, whoever awakens the Divine Fire Rule first, can use this Fire Divine Crystal.'' The ck Kitty and Red Kitty are the spirit beasts called Infernal Beast that werepletely made up of ck fire and red fire respectively. However, they didn''t awaken the Divine me Rules yet and thus, he gave them a task to awaken the Divine Rule before using it. "Yes, Master." ''~Meew'' The two cat-like fire beasts nodded their heads and excitedly went back to their cultivation inside the Bestial Paradise. [Metal Ruler, it looks like you got two Bestial Divine Crystals by killing a single unevolved spirit beast. Congrattions] On the other hand, when the spirit of the Floating Ind saw that Ajax gained two Bestial Divine Crystals, it congratted him. "Thank you." Ajax nodded his head as he asked, "Shall we go on our way now?" Ajax could not wait to conquer the Fire Region of the Floating Ind as soon as possible. Thus, he urged the Light Orb to guide him. [Sure] The Spirit of the Floating Ind could sense Ajax''s urgency and nodded her head before they resumed their journey on the shortest route to the Fire Region of the Floating Ind. Along the way, Ajax encountered two more unevolved spirit beasts; however, they were a lot weaker than the Infernal Earth Behemoth that Twilight killed. Nevertheless, Ajax still took some time to kill them without using any of his trump cards and gained two more Bestial Divine Crystals. [Metal Ruler, from here on, it is the Fire Region of my Floating Ind] Chapter 1887 Entering the Fire Region Chapter 1887 Entering the Fire Region Since he was getting the Bestial Divine Crystals, Ajax didn''t mind spending some time killing the unevolved spirit beasts in his way. At the same time, he didn''t use any of his trump cards as he was saving them for the Fire Ruler of the Floating Ind. [Metal Ruler, from here on, it is the Fire Region.] Overall, it took a couple of hours for Ajax to reach the Fire Region as the Light Orb informed him. [Be careful when you enter the Fire Region because the moment you step into the Fire Region, the Ruler of the Fire Region will be alerted by me regarding the invasion of his territory] Also, the Spirit of the Floating Ind didn''t forget to inform Ajax about something important. "Oh¡­really? It''s good that he will be informed. I don''t want to waste my time destroying his region for too long." Ajax was not surprised much; however, he was satisfied with this way of things. It was because each region is very big and it would take a while to alert the ruler of the region just by destroying some outskirts. Previously, Ajax sent all his Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts in all directions to destroy as much as possible before making the eight Metal Rulerse out of their abodes. However, right now, Ajax is not a normal cultivator; instead, he is one of the rulers of the Floating Ind and when he enters the other regions, the ruler of that particr region would be alerted. [Also, all your battle prowess will be decreased by 20 percent. So, are you sure about attacking the Fire Region in person? If you choose to challenge the Ruler of the Fire Region to a duel, you won''t face any suppression] As though remembering something, the Light Orb informed about the suppression that Ajax would face by entering the Fire Region. At the same time, it asked Ajax onest time regarding his choice of attacking the Ruler of the Fire Region. "I will see after I conquer the Fire Region." As for Ajax, he didn''t bother to answer the Spirit of the Floating Ind as he flew into the Fire Region. [Whether it is his arrogance or ignorance or confidence, I will know it soon] The Spirit of the Floating Ind was not offended by Ajax''s improper reply as it decided to wait and see whether Ajax could take over the Fire Region or not. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in mind, the Spirit of the Floating Ind disappeared without a trace. ¡­. ''Swoosh'' ''I can feel some weight on my body¡­is it because of the Ruler Suppression for the region?'' After entering the Fire Region, Ajax could sense that someone had put some invisible weight on him. However, he realized it was the Ruler Suppresion that the Spirit of the Floating Ind was talking about. ''Also, this region seems to be rich in the Fire Essence of Nature.'' Once Ajax entered the Fire Region of the Floating Ind, he didn''t directly be the destruction he nned to do. Instead, he checked the environment in the Fire Region and sensed that there was a rich Fire Essence of Nature. ''After I take over this region, I will let Raweth and the other fire-rted contracted spirit beasts settle here for their cultivation.'' n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om With that thought in mind, Ajax continued to check his surroundings. Unlike the Metal Region which was filled with all types of metallic rocks, the Fire Region of the Floating Ind was filled with different volcanoes connected with rivers filled with moltenva. ''It is just like how it was when I first entered the Floating Ind.'' Ajax reminiscences the time when he first entered the Floating Ind through the Fire Elemental Human World. Of course, he didn''t have good moments back them; however, Ajax reminisced about them toplete his revenge. ''The day I have been waiting for has finallye.'' After observing his surroundings for a moment, Ajax didn''t waste any more time as he shouted, "Everyone,e out and destroy everything in your way." ''Swoosh'' ''Roar'' In the next second, more than 1400 elemental spirits along with dozens of Contracted Spirit Beasts came out of Ajax''s Inner World and excitedly roared. "Ghost, send your clones with everyone and keep an eye on them." Unlike before, Ajax was not worried about the death of his contracted spirit beasts or the Elemental Spirits. It was because his Elemental Spirits were connected with the Tree of Blessed whereas his contracted spirit beasts were connected to Soul Nourishing Tree. Of course, if he let them die and revive using those two trees, it would take quite some time for them toe back; however, Ajax recently gained an official skill called [Floral Ressurection Bloom]. With the help of that skill, Ajax could revive all his allies within a radius of 100 kilometers. Of course, he could not revive them when the skill was not active. That''s where the Four-eyed Ghost Foxes into the y. With its clones, Ajax could activate his skill right away and when it was activated, Ajax''s all contracted spirit beasts and the Elemental Spirits would be immortal for the next one minute. ''Since the Ruler of the Fire Region will be alerted by the Spirit of the Floating Ind anyway, I don''t have to wait for long.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t do anything other than wait for the appearance of the Fire Ruler of the Floating Ind. ¡­ The Golden Bird City in the center of the Fire Region, [Ruler of the Fire Region, the Ruler of the Metal Region has entered your territory to invade your territory] [A restriction of 20 percent of battle prowess will be applied to him] [It is a perfect opportunity for you to be the Ruler of the Second Region] [All the best. The Spirit of the Floating Ind is waiting for your victory] In front of a middle-aged man with golden wings, a light orb appeared and informed various things and at the end, it even wished him luck. Chapter 1888 Ajax versus Aveline Chapter 1888 Ajax versus Aveline ''What? He physically entered my region?'' The Ruler of the Fire Region, Aveline was shocked when he heard the new ruler entered his region. What''s more, he intended to invade his region. ''Is he foolish or what? Doesn''t he know entering the other rulers'' regions would suppress his battle prowess?'' However, Aveline soon recovered from his shock and thought Ajax was foolish for entering his territory. Aveline believed that if Ajax really wanted to upy his territory, he could just issue an official challenge in the presence of the Spirit of the Floating Ind. ''Is it because he was confident in his strength that his new ruler could defeat me even with a regional suppression on him?'' When he changed his line of thought, Aveline became a little worried. ''Why do I need to worry about a new ruler? He was lucky with the rulers of the Metal Region; however, he won''t be that lucky with me.'' Soon, Avelin scoffed at his previous thoughts. ''Anyway, I should be careful as there is not much information on this new ruler of the Floating Ind.'' For the rulers of the other regions in the Floating Ind, Ajax was someone with a mystery. They didn''t know anything about it before he became a ruler. Even after bing, they didn''t know how he fought and what kinds of skills or trump cards he had. All they knew about him was that his cultivation was only at a low-level Emperor Realm. Of course, just because of the low cultivation, they didn''t dare to look down on him and it only made them a little worried because how could someone with such a low cultivation could defeat the eight rulers of the Metal Region? Hence, the remaining rulers were waiting¡­waiting to gain more information about the mysterious new ruler of the Metal Region. However, Aveline, the ruler of the Fire Region didn''t have any chance to wait as the new ruler hade looking for him. Therefore, Aveline decided to make enough preparations before confronting Ajax. ¡­. At one end of the Fire Region, ''Why is he taking so much time toe here? Doesn''t he care about his region?'' Even after waiting for five minutes, Ajax didn''t find a trace of either the Ruler of the Fire Region or his subordinates. As far as he remembered the Spirit of the Floating Ind would be informing about his arrival and thus, Ajax believed the ruler of the Fire Region would rush to see him. ''It looks like he must be preparing his trump cards and other things before confronting.'' However, it didn''t take much time for Ajax toe to this conclusion. As one of the rulers of the Floating Ind, Ajax didn''t like losing his region and if the worst came to worst, he wouldn''t mind using all his trump cards just to win the fight against the invader. Hence, Ajax could guess that the Ruler of the Fire Region was also doing the same and decided to wait for some more time. ''Until then, I will let my Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits destroy everything within the 100-kilometer radius.'' Ajax sat on a huge boulder on the edge of a volcano and looked at the destruction made by his summons revealing a satisfied smile on his face. On his shoulder, the four-eyed Ghost Fox was alsozily lying while its clones were doing all the work. Compared to the destruction made by his summons back in the Metal Region, the destruction made now was many times faster because of the addition of 1400 plus Elemental Spirits with Elemental Ascendance. ''At this time, it would only take less than 10 minutes for them to turn this 100-kilometer radius into nothing. If he doesn''te out, I might be destroying the entire Fire Region into nothing even before we start the fight.'' Ajax joked in his heart; however, he believed that Aveline would not make it thatte. Time continued to pass and in a sh, the entire 100-kilometer radius around Ajax turned into nothing and Ajax stood up to go to the next 100-kilometer radius. The thing is, Ajax was keeping his Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits within the 100-kilometer radius because he could instantly revive them if things didn''t go as he nned. ''There was no harm in slowly destroying a 100-kilometer radius of area one by one.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head as he flew to the second 100-kilometer radius he was nning to destroy. ''Screech'' However, before his summons could begin the second round of destruction, there was a loud screech from the distance as arge group of winged men flew towards him. The one who was leading them was a middle-aged man with shining golden-coloured wings. He was none other than the Ruler of the Fire Region, Aveline, the Golden-Winged Eagle Emperor. Behind him, thousands of silver-winged men, ck-winged men with crow heads and many other winged humanoid creatures, looked at Ajax with furious looks in their eyes. After reaching a certain distance, Aveline stopped flying and the crew behind him followed the same. "For a new ruler, you are quite courageous to enter my region. Aren''t you afraid of regional suppression?" Aveline didn''t rush to attack Ajax; instead, he asked Ajax while checking out Ajax and his summons. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''A human? From the looks of it, he doesn''t even look much older and he became an Emperor of the Floating Ind?'' Even though Aveline maintained a calm look on the surface, inside his heart, he was deeply shocked because he never expected a young human who was less than 100 years old to be the ruler of the Floating Ind. ''He must have some tricks and some divine treasures for him to defeat the old rulers of the metal region. I should be careful.'' Aveline became alert and at the same time, his greedy nature surfaced, ''As long as I kill him, not only I will get the Metal Region but I will get all the divine artifacts he was holding.'' Chapter 1889 Ajax versus Aveline (2) Chapter 1889 Ajax versus Aveline (2) As the oldest ruler of the Floating Ind, Aveline had long dreamt of having another region under his control and he indirectly tried to take the other regions; however, the rulers of the other regions were not easy to deal with. Thus, his dream was left like a dream, making Avelin risk a bit to get his hands on another region. At first, he thought of taking over the Metal Region because it was believed that the rulers of the Metal Region were the weakest. However, not only Aveline but the remaining rulers of the Floating Ind learned that these eight rulers of the Metal Region were the strongest ones among all the rulers when they worked together. Thus, Aveline changed his target from the Metal Region to the Water Region which was next to the Fire Region and the next weakest region in the Floating Ind. From then, the enmity between the Fire Region and the Water Region has begun. However, to Aveline''s surprise, his region was being invaded by the new ruler and soon, his greedy nature surfaced as he decided to go all out against the new ruler and get his region first. ''With another region under my control, I can get more resources and subordinates to recruit. With new subordinates, I can increase my army and kill those blood-sucking monsters from the Water Region.'' Just thinking about it made Aveline excited. "Didn''t you recognize me?" Ajax didn''t bother to answer Aveline''s question; instead, he asked Aveline a question. "Recognize you? Who are you?" Aveline raised his brows hearing Ajax''s words and tried to figure out what Ajax meant by those words. "Sigh¡­it looks like you have already forgotten the death of your son." Ajax took a long sigh as he exined, "A month back¡­not for you, it must be 50 years ago, a human killed your son and you have sent your huge army to search for the killer¡­is it enough to jog your memory?" After saying a few words, Ajax asked Aveline whether he remembered something. For Ajax, the incident where Snow was killed andter, killed the Golden-winged young man has only been less than two months; however, for Aveline who was living inside the Floating Ind, that incident happened over 50 years ago. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Aveline had already forgotten about his son and moved on from it to his dream of conquering another region in the Floating Ind. Of course, in the meanwhile, Aveline had other children who had already grown big; however, their cultivation was not significant enough to join him in his today''s battle. "Y-you are the one who killed my son?" Aveline didn''t be furious; instead, he only frowned his brows as he replied to Ajax, "The killer of my son will have a scent on him; however, you don''t have that scent on you." "Scent?" Ajax shook his head and said, "Whatever, I said what I have to say and as for whether you believe it or not, it''s your wish." The reason Ajax said those words was because he wanted to make Aveline furious; however, he felt that he had failed in it. Thus, Ajax didn''t bother to stress on that topic and said, "Let''s fight." "It doesn''t matter whether you killed my son or not, today, I am going to kill you and take your Metal Region." Compared to his son who was dead 50 yearster, Aveline gave more importance to his goal of conquering another region in the Floating Ind. Thus, he was also ready to fight Ajax. "Shall we fight one versus one or should we let our armies fight first?" Even after agreeing to Ajax for a fight, Aveline didn''t make any moves; instead, he asked Ajax something. "I am ready for anything. What about you?" Ajax wanted to tear apart the army flying behind Aveline and hearing Aveline''s words, Ajax got a really good idea. By killing Aveline''s army right in front of him, it would give a sense of meaning to Ajax''s revenge. "I am very proud of my army and I think you are also proud of your army too. I would very much like to see whose army is stronger. What do you say?" Aveline didn''t think much as he suggested their armies fight. "Sure." As for Ajax, he also didn''t think much because he was also very much proud and confident in his army. Thus, he agreed to Aveline''s suggestion. "You heard him. What are you waiting for? Show your strength and kill his entire army of Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits." As soon as Ajax agreed, Aveline didn''t waste any time as he ordered his army of Silver-Winged Men, Fire Hagravens, and other winged humanoid monsters. ''Raweth and Sparrow, you lead the Contracted Spirit Beasts except for Twilight.'' ''Twilight, there are no rules for you¡­just go berserk and wipe out as many opponents as possible.'' On the other hand, Ajax was calm but he was silently givingmands to his Contracted Spirit Beasts to follow Raweth and Sparrow except for Twilight. As for Twilight, he was given full permission to go all out today. ''Yes, master.'' All the contracted spirit beasts nodded their heads before Raweth and Sparrow took the lead to fight the iing Aveline''s army. ''Roar'' The cute young boy beside Ajax transformed into a huge Divine Dragon and roared at the iing bird army. ''Shook'' Just a roar from Twilight shook the entire army a little; however, they recovered quickly and rushed at the dragon before their master could scold them. ''All Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal Elemental Spirits form into five different times and attack.'' ''As for the remaining Elemental Spirits, depending on the situation, change your role from supporting to attacking and vice versa.'' After giving orders to the Contracted Spirit Beasts, Ajax did the same with the Elemental Spirits. ''Yes, Summoning Master.'' Except for 20 plus Elemental Spirits, for the remaining Elemental Spirits, it was their fight time fighting for Ajax. Moreover, their cultivation rapidly increased after forming the contract with their Summoning Master. Thus, they were very excited about the fight. Soon, the fight between the two armies had officially begun. Chapter 1890 Ajax versus Aveline (3) Chapter 1890 Ajax versus Aveline (3) One side has hundreds of thousands of Emperor Realm Cultivators and on the other side, a dozen contracted spirit beasts along with 1400 plus Elemental Spirits. Obviously, the one side whole army was none other than Ajax''s. However, neither Ajax nor his summons were not afraid to fight such a huge army; in fact, they were confident in defeating Aveline''s army of nearly one million. ''[Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline], activate.'' Since the other army is huge there might be many who must have awakened their Divine Rules in it. Hence, Ajax activated the Bloodline and boosted the strength of all his Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits by five times. ''Swoosh'' Soon, all the Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits started feeling the power rising in their body and their itch to fight the army increased to the next level. ''Huh?'' Aveline, who was observing Ajax''s summons closely noticed the sudden change in the aura emitting by Ajax''s summons and could not help but frown. However, he didn''tin anything about it and silently observed because he had made his own preparations which he was confident in sessfully executing. ''If I want to¡­I can sneak an attack and kill him right away; however, I won''t be satisfied if he had such an easy day.'' If there was any ruler other than Aveline, Ajax wouldn''t waste any time as he would directly kill them by using his new official skills back to back. Even after using them, if the enemy was still alive, Ajax would use the Divine Rules to kill them. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om However, Ajax had been waiting for this revenge for a while now and he wanted to be fully satisfied with the revenge and move on to his other goals in life. "Everyone, support me from the ground." Raweth looked at the Fire Hagravens flying towards him and his group of contracted spirit beasts and ordered his team members. [Fire God''s Rage] As soon as he gave themand, Raweth didn''t look back as he directly activated one of his boost-type skills. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, fiery mes came out of his body and the Fire Hagravens in the front row were turned into ashes without having a single chance to defend themselves. Percentage-wise, Raweth has killed at least 20 percent of Fire Hagravens. ''ck Inferno mes'' ''Red Inferno mes'' Following Raweth''s attack, the two fire-type contracted spirit beasts, the ck Kitty and the Red Kitty also released one of their powerful long-range attacks. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' ''Boom'' These two attacks alone killed 10 percent of the Fire Hagravens. ''Lightning Rain'' The twin-tailed lightning cat also used its powerful skill to kill three percent of the Fire Hagravens. On the other hand, the second spirit beast team led by Sparrow was not any less than the first spirit beast team. [Nether World''s Mist] Sparrow released lots of purple-coloured mist from her purple-coloured gown which split into two portions. One portion of the purple mist became steps for the contracted spirit beasts in her team. As for the second portion, it went towards the silver-winged men and as soon as they breathed the mist, they fell to the ground andy lifeless forever. [Golden Earth m] Both father and son duo, the Golden Bears King who became Emperors under Ajax''s continuous supply of cultivation resources, worked together by using the same type of skill. ''Rumble'' ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the ground shook and cracks appeared on the ground before two huge golden bear paws came out of it. ''Swoosh'' The two bear paws merged into a single gigantic bear paw that mmed the silver-winged men into nothingness. ''Boom'' [Chaos Devourer] On the side, a colourful snake wrapped around Sparrow''s wrist opened its mouth and absorbed some colourful energy from who knows where. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' In the next second, all the Silver-Winged Men in the air fell to the ground and their bodies seemed to be dried up. ''Hiss~'' After using its skills, the Chaos Snake hissed at Sparrow before flying to Ajax in less than a second and entering his inner world. ''You have done more than enough. It is time for you to rest and increase your strength with the Chaos Energy you got from them.'' The Chaos Snake was just a King Realm Spirit Beast; however, it was a beast without any grade to it. Ajax believed that it was a Divine Beast and wanted to increase its strength. However, no matter what kind of cultivation resource he provides, the Chaos Snake is not interested and Ajax learns that the Chaos Snake has only one skill through which it increases his strength. It''s called [Chaos Devourer] and after using it, the Chaos Snake would enter into hibernation. As for when it wakes up, Ajax didn''t have a single clue about it. ''The higher its cultivation reach, the longer its hibernation time is bing.'' Ajax silently thought in his head before focusing on the ongoing battle in front of him. ''What is that beast? How did it wipe out my entire Silver-Winged Amry?'' On the other hand, Aveline was already shocked to see how powerful Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts were; however, when he saw how a little snake that was not even 10 centimeters wiped his entire Silver-Winged Army, he waspletely out of words and didn''t know what to say. ''This won''t do. I have to go to the next step of my n.'' After seeing how one portion of his army was wiped out and the other portion consisting of Fire Hagravens was half wiped out, Aveline didn''t want to take things slow. [Multiple Twilight Cannons] ''Swoosh'' ''Boom'' [Divine Dragon''s Rage] [Dragon w] [Dragon Breath] However, before Aveline could do anything, on the one hand, Twilight transformed into a huge Divine Dragon and used all its attacks back to back without thinking about the consequences of overspending its energy. ''I might be spending a lot of energy; however, in return, I am gaining a temporary boost in my strength¡­Haha.'' Twilight chuckled as he destroyed and killed everything he saw. Chapter 1891 Ajax versus Aveline (4) Chapter 1891 Ajax versus Aveline (4) Twilight didn''t care about saving energy for the future. In his head, there was only one thing and it was to be as powerful as possible. For Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon, there is a passive skill that lets him be powerful with the destruction he caused. The more he destroys and kills, the more powerful he would be. Of course, the increase in his strength was temporary; however, Twilight enjoys being in that state because, with that temporary, he could kill a more powerful opponent with fewer trump cards. As for the energy he was using in his attacks to cause the destruction, it was a little off the charts; however, Twilight was not worried too much about it. It was because things went south, he had his big brother Ajax to take care of. In the past, when Twilight was on a solo mission, he would have not used this strategy; however, currently, he was not worried about anything other than getting intoxicated with the power. ''Twilight is bing more and more reckless; however, in the current situation, it will let it slide.'' Ajax was fully satisfied with Twilight''s current actions. "What the¡­how are all his contracted spirit beasts very powerful?" On the other hand, Aveline was bing more and more shocked to see the powerful attacks used by Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Even though these attacks were not as powerful as the attacks from the Divine Rules, when ites to the members of the army, these attacks could be considered very powerful. On the side, the 1400 plus Elemental Spirits are also going all out in their attacks. Moreover, they were able to coordinate their attacks very well with one another and kill Aveline''s minions with ease. ''Wait a second¡­don''t tell me all these contracted spirit beasts have awakened their Divine Rules.'' Suddenly, Aveline had this thought that made him a little doubtful regarding his n to defeat Ajax. Even though more than half of Aveline''s army was killed by Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the Elemental Spirits, Aveline was still hopeful in his n until a moment ago. However, when he thought about the possibility that Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts have awakened Divine Rules, it made him slightly anxious. One of the most important reasons for a cultivator or a spirit beast to release powerful attacks to kill dozens or even hundreds of emperor realm cultivators was only if they awakened the Divine Rules. When someone awakened the Divine Rules, even if they didn''t activate the Divine Rules, all their attacks were boosted by their Divine Rules. It was the same with the unevolved spirit beasts, the Infernal Earth Behemoth that Ajax had fought. Thanks to its two Divine Rules, all its attacks were so powerful that if Ajax had not been careful, it would have been severely injured. Of course, if it was regr cultivators who awakened a Divine Rule, they would have died without getting a chance to activate their Divine Rule. ''Why am I getting worried about such a thing? If he had subordinates with Divine Rules, I have mine.'' However, Aveline soon removed those thoughts from his mind when he thought about his subordinates who awakened Divine Rules. The thing was Aveline wanted to use these subordinates after checking out how powerful Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits were. But, it was already toote for Aveline''s army as they were almost wiped out by Ajax''s summon in less than a minute. "There is no need to hold yourself back anymore. Come out and begin the massacre." Once Aveline decided to use his powerful subordinates, Ajax no longer hesitated as he shouted out loud to call them. Since he had lost his regr army because of his moment of carelessness, Aveline wanted to do the same for Ajax''s army. He wanted to kill Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits by surprise with his special army he had poured his heart and resources into for the sake of conquering the other regions of the Floating Ind. ''Finally, the moment to use my Special Army hade. I wonder exactly how powerful they are.'' Even Aveline was clueless about exactly how powerful his special army was because he had never brought them out and only trained them in secret for his goal. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as he gave themand, many silhouettes flew towards the ce where Ajax and Aveline were at an incredible speed. "Raweth, Sparrow, Twilight and everyone¡­be careful." Ajax could tell that Aveline was finally using one of his trump cards as he warned his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits. At the same time, Ajax was also on high alert because he didn''t know exactly who Aveline was calling. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' Nearly three thousand silhouettes wereing at them and Ajax saw that their eyes werepletely red as though they consumed some forbidden medicine. ''Fire Hagravens, Silver-winged vultures, Golden-Winged Eaglemen.'' Among those three thousand silhouettes, there were only three types of beings and even though Ajax didn''t count properly, he could guess they were in more or less the same numbers. ''Twilight, use your Heavenly Insights and get the information.'' Ajax asked Twilight to get the information and the other one did as ordered. [Heavenly Insights] ¡­ Spirit Beast Name: Special Fire Hagraven (Enraged). Strength: Peak Emperor Realm. Skills: Fire st, Fire Body Pration¡­. Divine Rule: Fire (10 percent awakened). ¡­ Spirit Beast Name: Special Silver-Winged Vulturoids (Enraged). Strength: Peak Emperor Realm. Skills: Thousand Steel des, Fire Wings¡­. Divine Rule: Fire (8 percent awakened), Metal (5 percent awakened). ¡­ Spirit Beast Name: Special Gold-Winged Eaglemen (Enraged). Strength: Peak Emperor Realm. Skills: Eagle Emperor''s Screech, Fire Tornado, Metal sh,... Divine Rule: Fire (10 percent awakened), Metal (5 percent awakened), Earth (5 percent awakened). ¡­ Soon, the knowledge about the iing three types of beings appeared in Twilight''s head which surprised him for a moment. However, he wasn''t afraid; instead, he was excited about them and hurriedly informed Ajax, "Master, we are going to get so many Bestial Divine Crystals." Chapter 1892 Ajax versus Aveline (5) Chapter 1892 Ajax versus Aveline (5) ''Master, we are going to get so many Bestial Divine Crystals.'' Since the iing special army has Divine Rules¡­even multiple at that, Twilight could not help but feel excited about it and hurriedly said to Ajax. ''What?'' Ajax raised his brows when he heard Twilight''s words and asked it to clearly exin what it was meant by. ''Master Big Brother, the iing army have awakened Divine Rules. Those robed Fire Hagravens awakened Divine Fire Rule, The Silver-Winged Vulturoid awakened two Divine Rules namely Fire and Metal.'' Twilight exined everything he saw in his memories to Ajax, ''As for the Golden-Winged Eagle Men, they have awakened three Divine Rules namely Fire, Metal and Earth.'' Not only the Divine Rules, Twilight even informed Ajax about the awakening percentages of their Divie Rules. ''What? There were double and triple Divine Rule awakeners?'' For a moment, Ajax was shocked because awakening three types of Divine Rules was not something that could be done by anyone. ''Moreover, their awakening percentage is more than 5 percent and even have one of their Divine Rules reach 10 percent.'' Ajax knew that the special army created by Aveline was really special. ''He had created 3000 cultivatorsprising that special army. I wonder how many cultivation resources he had spent and how long it took him to create that army?'' Ajax was really about it; however, before that, there was another thought that came to his mind. ''If his special army was able to awaken three Divine Rules, then what about him? How many Divine Rules did he awaken and what was the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules?'' Soon, Ajax looked at Aveline in a new light because creating such a special army in which the cultivators awakened not one or two but three Divine Rules and each one of these Divine Rules had a minimum awakening percentage of 5. ''Twilight, get me the information on Aveline too. At the same time, get ready to go all out. Kill as many cultivators as possible in this special army.'' ''Raweth, Sparrow, and everyone who awakened their Divine Rules prepare yourself and go all out.'' Since the special army ising, Ajax warns all his contracted spirit beasts while asking them to go all out with their attacks towards the special army. As for the Elemental Spirits, Ajax didn''t want them to confront the special army yet because they were not powerful enough to do so. "Special Army, attack." On the other hand, Aveline also ordered his special army to attack Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts¡­especially Raweth, Sparrow and Twilight. ''Craaww'' ''Vurrrr'' ''Screech'' Aveline''s special army was divided into three groups depending on their race. The 1000 Fire Hagravens chose Raweth''s team as their target, and the 1000 Silver-winged Vulturoids chose Sparrow''s team. As for thest group, the most powerful ones with three Divine Rules, the Golden-Winged Eagle Men chose Twilight as their target because it was a Divine Dragon and thus, required the strongest of the strongest. ¡­ "[Divine Fire Rule], activate." After choosing their target, the 1000 Fire Hagravens activated their Divine Fire Rule in unison as they rushed at Raweth. "Everyone, step back and witness how I take care of all those 1000 Fire Hagravens?" "[Divine Fire Rule], activate." As for Raweth, just like Twilight, he was also not worried about the iing special army; instead, he asked his teammates to stand aside. As for why he was not worried because Raweth was confident in his skills and the Divine Fire Rule he awakened. Unlike those Fire Hagravens, Raweth''s Divine Fire Rule has awakened by 30 percent which was 20 percent more than the Fire Hagravens'' Divine Fire Rule. Even though there was a huge difference in the awakening percentage between Raweth and the Fire Hagravens, the other side had more numbers and the battle would be definitely one-sided for Fire Hagravens. [Fire Tsumani] Raweth used one of his normal attacks; however, since he had activated his Divine Fire Rule, each one of his attacks would be very powerful. What''s more, it is a fire-type attack. Hence, it would be much more powerful than any regr attacks. [Fire Raven Shield] To counter his attack, the Fire Hagravens created a fire shield around their bodies as they rushed into the Fire Tsumani created by Raweth without any fear. Their aim was only one thing and it was to kill Raweth who was inside the Fire Tsumani and controlling it. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' [Fireball] ''Boom'' The Fire Hagravens moved at a very high speed; however, the moment they entered the Fire Tsunami, they were hit by small but effective FireBalls that instantly exploded them. However, the Fire Hagravens didn''t mind the deaths of their fellow Hagravens as they followed the same method.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The first dozen Hagravens were killed by Raweth with ease; however, after sting a dozen or so Fire Hagravens to death, Raweth felt that the newly entering Fire Hagravens seemed to be more powerful and his FireBalls only injured them. ''Let''s use the next powerful attack.'' Fireball was just a basic attack skill. So, Raweth shook his head and changed his attack to the most powerful one. [Sun God''s Fire Bolt] Soon, the Fire Tsunami in which Raweth was standing turned into a huge sun that hovered above Raweth''s head. ''It looks very powerful.'' Even Ajax whopleted the Body Tempering with multiple Sentient mes and even became a Divine Body Cultivator could feel a sense of danger from the huge sun above Raweth''s head. ''Is this the power thates with the 30 percent awakening in the Divine me Rule?'' Raweth''s attacks were already powerful and thanks to the Divine me Rule, the attack became so powerful that even Aveline, just like Ajax, felt a sense of danger from it. "Kill them." Raweth revealed a proud smile on his face as he ordered the huge sun hovering above his head. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, it released hundreds of fire bolts that pierced through the Fire Hagravens'' bodies. In an instant, Raweth killed more than 500 of them. ''Swoosh'' "Die" However, suddenly, a Fire Hagraven appeared behind Raweth and pierced his raven ws into Raweth''s heart. Because of the sudden sneak attack, Raweth lost focus and the huge sun above his head disappeared and soon, the remaining Hagravens jumped onto Raweth and bombarded him with many attacks without giving him any chance to retort. Chapter 1893 Ajax Versus Aveline (6) Chapter 1893 Ajax Versus Aveline (6) A few moments back, While the Fire Hagravens chose Raweth as their target and flew towards him, another group in the Special Army chose Sparrow as their target and flew towards her. The group was none other than Silver-Winged Vulturoids. "[Dive Metal Rule], activate." Soon, the Silver-Winged Vulturoids activated one of their Divine Rules before starting their attacks. Having multiple Divine Rules was considered a good thing; however, using them at once was not a wise choice unless a cultivator needed the skills under both Divine Rules. For example, Ajax could use multiple Divine Rules at once because he had Divine Rules with diverse effects. With one Divine Rule, he could focus on attacking while he could use another Divine Rule to support his allies. However, using both [Divine Fire Rule] and [Divine Metal Rule] at the same time was definitely not a wise choice as they both focus on attacking the enemies. The Silver-Winged Vulturoids also did the same thing as they first activated the [Divine Metal Rule] "[Divine Ice Rule], activate." On the other side, Sparrow also activated one of her [Divine Rules] and she chose to activate the weakest one first. Sparrow awakened two Divine Rules, the [Divine Ice Rule] and the [Divine Nether Rule]. She increased the awakening percentage of the [Divine Nether Rule] by using Giant Dark Crystals to 30 percent whereas the [Divine Ice Rule], she cultivated by herself and increased the awakening percentage to 8 percent. ''Swoosh'' With the activation of the Divine Ice Rule, powerful ice energy is released from her body. The reason why Sparrow was more powerful than the Silver-Winged Vulturoids despite the Vulturoids having more awakening percentage was that Sparrow''s battle prowess was boosted by Ajax''s bloodline by five times. It was also the reason why Sparrow kept her [Divine Nether Rule] forter as she was going to surprise her enemies with it. [Metallic Gusts] Soon, the 1000 Silver-Winged Vulturoids released powerful gusts by pping their wings. [Icestorm] To counter the iing attacks, Sparrow calmly released a powerful Icestorm at the iing gusts. ''Boom'' There was a collision and the metallic gusts were frozen before falling to the ground. [Ice Feather Strike] This time, it was Sparrow who used a wide-ranged attack to kill as many Silver-Winged Vulturoids as possible. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' However, the Silver-Winged Vulturoids easily dodged the Ice Feathers released by Sparrow. [Icy Nether Smoke] Nevertheless, Sparrow knew it was an easy attack to dodge. Thus, she used another attack which was almost impossible to dodge by anyone. ''Swoosh'' It was Nether Smoke that was so cold, that it even shivered Ajax and Aveline. As for the Silver-Winged Vulturoids, the ones that were close to Sparrow, where they inhaled the Nether Smoke, they were directly frozen to death. "Everyone, fall back. Use your long-range attacks." A Silver-Winged Vulturoid shouted out loud before flying away and soon, the remaining Silver-Winged Vulturoids followed him. However, it was toote as more than 100 of them were frozen to death and another 100 or so had their wings frozen. After that, the Silver-Winged Vulturoids maintained their distance from Sparrow and attacked her with their long-range attacks. While the fight between the Silver-Winged Vulturoids and Sparrow was going on, there was another interesting battle going on on the other side. It was none other than the fight between Twilight and the Golden-Winged Eagle Men. ''Roar'' Twilight had already transformed into a huge Divine Destructive Twilight Dragon as it excitedly fought the Golden-Winged Eagle Men. Unlike the Silver-Winged Vulturoids, these Golden-Winged Eagle Men used three Divine Rules at once, going against the general action of the cultivators and the re-cultivated spirit beasts. ''Since you are using the three [Divine Rules], I will also do the same and make the fight bnced.'' [Divine Dragon Rule] [Divine Twilight Rule] [Divine Dark Rule] As soon as Twilight finished his words, he didn''t waste any time as he activated all three Divine Rules at once. ''Swoosh'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Swoosh'' ''Huh? What''s happening?'' ''Why can''t I breathe?'' Soon, the aura released by Twilight was so powerful that it didn''t have to do anything and casually look at the Golden-Winged Eagle Men and they could not breathe anymore. They fell to the ground and were dead. "You are so weak and you call yourself Special Amry? What a joke?" Twilight was being boosted by Ajax''s bloodline, the destruction he caused earlier and the power from activating three Divine Rules. Seeing the look in Twilight''s eyes, the Golden-Winged Eagle Men could not help but be hesitant in flying closer to Twilight. ¡­. "What are you doing? Use your trump cards and kill them." Aveline was frustrated at his army as they were being killed by a single member from the other side. So, he could not help but shout at his army to go all out and kill Raweth, Sparrow and Twilight. At the same time, Aveline secretly crushed a red-coloured orb in his hands and soon, his frustration disappeared as he revealed a slight evil smile on his face. Of course, before anyone could notice his evil smile, Aveline covered it and waited for the results after using one of his trump cards. ¡­ ''Swoosh'' As soon as Aveline finished his words, the three thousand members of the Special Amry felt power increasing in their body and soon, their bodies grew a little bigger and their eyes turned more red. ''Swoosh'' Suddenly, a Fire Hagraven teleported behind Raweth and pierced his ws into Raweth''s chest. ¡­ It was the same with the Sparrow, three Silver-Winged Vulturoids teleported to Sparrow; however, two of them were frozen to death before they could even attack. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' As for the third one, it was not affected by the cold much as its metallic feathers pierced through Sparrow''s body. ¡­. [Giant Golden Eagle sh] On Twilight''s side, all the Golden-Winged Eagle Men held their hands together and flew towards Twilight before using a synchronized attacked at Twilight. [Divine Dark Twilight Cannon] As for Twilight, he was not worried about the materialized giant Golden Eagle in front of him and released his most powerful attack. ''Boom'' However, the giant Golden Eagle''s eagle sh perfectlynded on Twilight. Chapter 1894 Ajax versus Aveline (7) Chapter 1894 Ajax versus Aveline (7) The attack from the Giant Golden Eagle perfectlynded on Twilight and it left three bloody marks on Twilight''s abdomen. Of course, it was not a normal attack but abined attack from more than 800 Golden-Winged Eagle Men who activated their three Divine Rules. In short, it was the most powerful attack which was almost impossible for anyone to survive after receiving it. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Swoosh'' ''Thud'' After receiving the attack, Twilight lost his bnce in the air and fell to the ground almost instantly. On the other hand, the attack released by Twilight was also his most powerful attack and since the other party had used their most powerful attack, they were unable to dodge it either. [Divine Dark Twilight Cannon] ''Boom'' It perfectly hit the Golden-Winged Eagle Men who gathered in one ce tounch their synchronized attack. So, they failed to dodge the attack and all the Eagle Men fell to the ground just like Twilight. Eventually, it was a situation where the two parties used their strongest attacks and mutually destroyed each other. ¡­. At the same time, ''Puchi'' Raweth''s heart was pierced through by a Fire Hagraven that teleported right behind him. Raweth was not expecting the attack and was not able to dodge it. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Before he could remove the first Fire Hagraven, all the surviving Fire Hagravens from the Special Army jumped onto him and pierced through his body. After that many attacks, there was no way for Raweth to be alive. ¡­. ''Puchi'' ''Puchi'' Sparrow''s body was punctured by two Silver-Winged Vulturoids and using this opportunity, the remaining ones followed the same to kill her. In short, the three main forces of Ajax''s army, Raweth, and Sparrow were able to die and Twilight was also on hisst breath. ''Finally, his three main forces are dead.'' Looking at the scene in front of him, Aveline heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he lost the entire Golden-Winged Eagle Men group, and half of Fire Hagravens and the Silver-Winged Vulturoids from the Special Army, Aveline was happy that Ajax''s main forces were taken down. With them gone, Aveline believed that it was only a matter of time before Ajax''s remaining Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits followed the same fate as Raweth and the other two. ''Raweth, Sparrow, do it.'' On the other hand, despite seeing the current situation, Ajax was calm; instead, he revealed a slight smile before he ordered Raweth and Sparrow to do something. ''Yes, Master.'' As someone who was re-cultivated to the Emperor Realm and even awakened the Divine Rules, they would be still alive despite getting their heart pierced by. Of course, they would only be alive and could not use their powerful attacks. However, even in that situation, Ajax orders them to do something and in return, Raweth and Sparrow weakly reply to him. [Floral Resurrection Bloom] As soon as he got the reply from them, Ajax activated one of his new official skills, the [Floral Resurrection Blood]. ''Boom'' ''Boom'' In the next second, there were two powerful explosions urred in the two different ces. One was where Raweth was being ganged up by more than 600 Fire Hagravens whereas the other ce was Sparrow getting punctured by the Silver-Winged Vulturoids. However, right now, after the explosion, there was nothing left other than the shiny Bestial Divine Crystals lying on the ground. "What was that? You instructed them to self-explode?" Aveline, who was in a happy mood that his army was winning earlier, understood what just happened and his happy mood turned sour as he shouted at Ajax for giving such a crazy order. Even Aveline, who used the cruellest methods to train his Special Army was unable to give such an order¡­no¡­to be exact, even if he gave such an order, no one would execute it. However, Ajax was able to make his contracted spirit beasts¡­which seemed to be his main force¡­he gave such an order and what''s more shocking to him was that the two powerful re-cultivated spirit beasts executed that order of self-explosion. Self-explosion as the name sounds, uses the soul as the fuel and the physical body as the shell to create a bomb which destroys everything within a specific radius depending on the strength of the soul and body. "Your three main forces are down and I don''t think you are going to win against me." However, when he thought about it, Aveline became excited because he believed the reason why Ajax was able to be the ruler of the Metal Region was because of his three strongest contracted spirit beasts. Since they were gone now, Aveline thought it would be easy to defeat Ajax. "Is that so?" Ajax scoffed at them and shouted, "My dear friends,e back and say hello to the Ruler of the Fire Region." As soon as Ajax said that, within the 100 kilometers of radius around him, flowers started blooming and released a very pleasant and soothing scent along with some mist. ''Swoosh'' The mist gathered at three ces and started taking forms. ''Roar'' First, there was a familiar powerful dragon roar from one of the mist gathering ces and slowly a small boy with an innocent look walked out of it. "Hello." He waved his hand at Aveline in the sky with an innocent smile on his face. ''Screech'' ''Screech'' From the second and three mist gathering ces, there were excited screeches as Raweth and Sparrow flew out of them. "Hi" They also followed Twilight and waved at Aveline before saying, "It''s good to see you again." "What? How are they still alive?" Looking at the three re-cultivated spirit beasts waving their hands at him in their perfect condition, Aveline was shocked as he rubbed his eyes to look at them again. "How is it possible?" Aveline was shocked as he mentally thought, ''My most powerful special army along with my normal army¡­they were destroyed in a matter of a few minutes without getting a single casualty on his side.'' ''H-he¡­who is he exactly?'' Looking at Ajax, Aveline was having second thoughts about his fight with Ajax. Chapter 1895 Ajax versus Aveline (8) Chapter 1895 Ajax versus Aveline (8) In this world, reviving others is considered the most powerful ability because, with it, one can fight others without worrying about death. Moreover, when one was overpowered, then he could go all out and even explode one''s own body to kill the enemies before reviving back to life. Right now, the young human in front of him could revive not one, or two but three re-cultivated contracted spirit beasts. Hence, Aveline could not help but wonder about Ajax''s background and how he got that ability. "I am your death." [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, Ajax used his movement skill and appeared right before Aveline. [Purgatory''s Embrace] With a slight smile on his face, Ajax activated one of his official skills. ''What?'' Aveline was still surprised by Ajax''s revival skill and he was a littlete in reacting to Ajax''s sudden appearance in front of him. Before he knew what was happening, Aveline was trapped in an inescapable ring of hellish fire. ''What''s happening¡­aragh.'' It was because Ajax''s bloodline was still active that the attack power from his official skill reached the next level, making even Aveline, a powerful ruler of the Floating Ind, unable to escape the hellish fire. As for the hellish fire, it scorched Aveline''s wings as he struggled to escape from it. "How is it? Are you enjoying it?" Looking at the struggling Aveline, Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face. If Ajax wanted to kill Aveline, he would have done it the moment he saw him; however, Ajax intended to see Avelin in pain and that''s the only thing that wouldplete his revenge. First, Ajax sessfully destroyed Aveline''s normal and special army and now, it was finally time for Aveline to go through some pain. Thus, Ajax executed it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Aargh¡­Divine Fire Rule, activate." Since he was experiencing hellish mes, Aveline knew the one way for him to escape from it was by activating the Divine Fire Rule. ''Swoosh'' As soon as Aveline activated the Divine Fire Rule, his body released golden-coloured mes and they slowly transformed into his wings. ''Screech'' ''Swoosh'' There was a loud screech as Aveline soon started flying in circles. ''Aargh¡­Damn it¡­these mes are more powerful than my golden mes.'' Even though Aveline activated his Divine me Rule and did everything in his power to resist the hellish mes, he could still feel the pain. What''s more, the hellish mes were not just scorching his body but the Bestial Spirit Consciousness in his body was also rapidly depleting of the Essence of Nature. ''Damn it¡­these mes were definitely normal just like that brat. I need to escape from it as quickly as possible.'' Aveline became anxious as he increased his speed and circled. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As hepleted each circle, his golden wings left behind a line of golden mes and soon, it became a tornado of Golden mes. ''Phew.'' Once Avelinepleted the tornado of Golden mes, he heaved a sigh of relief and then looked at Ajax with mixed emotions. ''The other party''s three main forces¡­if they activate their Divine Rules and attack me together, there is no way I am going to survive.'' Aveline looked at Raweth, Sparrow and Twilight as he continued to silently think in his head, ''Also, there is that brat, who is yet to activate his Divine Rules.'' Even though Aveline had two more Divine Rules other than the Divine Fire Rule, he was no longer confident in winning against Ajax. His earlier confidence, and greed for the Metal Region, had long disappeared when his Special Army was killed and his opponent''s main forces were revived. ''Should I just give in and surrender to him?'' Suddenly, Aveline thought that he should just surrender to Ajax. Even though Aveline is a proud eagle man, when ites to his life, he wants to survive because only by surviving, one could achieve something in their life. If dead, other than bones nothing will be left. And with time, even bones turn to dust. Moreover, it was a physical duel and not a duel hosted by the Spirit of the Floating Ind. If it was that, even if Aveline begged Ajax to leave him, the Spirit of the Floating Ind would kill the loser of the fight. In a way, Aveline felt thankful that Ajax chose to attack him physically; instead of issuing a challenge using his Rulership Authority. "Human, as long as you do not kill me, I will tell you the secret about the Floating Ind." Although he decided to surrender, it was not an easy thing for Aveline as he gritted his teeth and tried to make a deal in exchange for a secret of the Floating Ind. "Of course, I will give you this region and even turn to your subordinate." Before Ajax could say anything, Aveline added a few more things in exchange for his life with a heavy heart; however, Aveline became sure that Ajax would definitely let him live. Who could let go of a powerful subordinate? Even though it was quite humiliating for Aveline, he stole his heart and decided to bear that humiliation while waiting for an opportunity to take care of Ajax once and for all. "A secret about the Floating Ind? Leaving this Fire Region to me? And you will even be my subordinate?" Seeing that Aveline had escaped from the Purgatory''s Embrace, Ajax was about to go to the next step of his n to torture Aveline. However, he didn''t expect Aveline to give up on the fight and even decided to be his subordinate. "Yes. I am willing to do all that as long as you don''t kill me." Aveline nodded his head as he heaved a sigh of relief thinking Ajax would ept the deal. "If it was not for the incident in the past, I might have epted that deal; however, currently, I am not interested in that deal." [Divine Dark Rule] As soon as he finished his reply, Ajax activated his Divine Dark Rule and revealed an evil smile, "Shall I start my true revenge now?" Chapter 1896 Nightmare Chapter 1896 Nightmare "Shall I start my true revenge now?" Ajax revealed an evil smile on his face as he activated his Divine Dark Rule. ''Ding, Since the Divine Rules are not activated together with the Bloodlines or Quasi-God Grade Official Skills, everything will be deactivated except for the Divine Dark Rule. ''Ding, The Divine Rule will be active for 30 minutes. Ajax was not surprised by the system notifications as he focused more on Aveline. "What? Why? What did I do to you?" Aveline was shocked to see Ajax''s rejection of the deal he was very confident in. Which ruler doesn''t want to get another ruler as his subordinate along with that ruler''s territory? Moreover, from Ajax''s words, Aveline could sense that Aax was taking revenge for something he had done in the past; however, Aveline didn''t have a single clue about it. ''Wait a second¡­earlier he was talking about my son who died a few decades back. What did my son do to him that he was not epting my deal?'' Aveline clenched his fists in anger as he finally understood that killing Ajax was the only way for him to live. So, he decided to go all out and try his best to fight Ajax. [Divine Dark Rule- Shadow Travel] ''Swoosh'' As for Ajax, he didn''t bother to waste his time on Aveline anymore as he directly appeared in front of Aveline once again. Compared to the Celestial Void Step, the speed at which Ajax appeared was [Divine Dark Rule - Nightmare Creator] With a light tap on Aveline''s forehead, Aveline suddenly lost consciousness. "Shall we begin the torture now?" As soon as he finished his words, Ajax muttered, ''Let''s create the most powerful nightmare for this b*stard.'' Actually, Ajax only wanted to create a normal nightmare for Aveline; however, when he saw that Aveline used a secret item to boost the battle prowess of the special army to kill his contracted spirit beasts, he became furious. Even though he used it to his advantage by ordering his Raweth and Sparrow to explode their bodies, the pain they had to go through was definitely not normal. For Ajax, whoever harms his contracted spirit beasts or the elemental spirits, has to go through severe pain before dying. Combing with Snow''s death from the past and making Ajax live in fear during hisst visit to the Floating Ind and now, going against his words by using a secret item in the battle for their armies. Hence, Ajax decided to give the highest degree of punishment. "It might seem very cruel of me; however, it is how things work in this world." If Ajax didn''t have enough power, it would have been him taking Aveline''s ce and going through various torturous methods. ''Anyway, let''s see how he is doing in his nightmare.'' Soon, Ajax put aside all his thoughts and closed his eyes to enter Aveline''s nightmare. ¡­ In the nightmare, Aveline looked like how he looked in the real world and behind stood his powerful special army. His powerful special army was no longer limited to 3000, instead, it grew to 10000. Opposite to him, stood someone whom Ajax had seen in the past. ''It was the Ruler of the Water Region, Maximus, the Veiled Vampire Emperor.'' Ajax instantly recognized who he was and behind this Vampire Emperor, there were hundreds of thousands of corpses lying on the ground. "Maximus, your army was good; however, in front of my army, it is nothing." Aveline chuckled at Maximus as he said in a loud voice, "So, ording to our bet, you will be my subordinate and obviously, your region is mine." "Do you agree with that? Or perhaps, do you wish to die by my hands?" Aveline waited for the reply from the Vampire Emperor, who gritted his teeth and eventually agreed. [Congratuations, Aveline, you have sessfully two regions and you are now the ruler of three regions] As soon as the Vampire Emperor agreed, the spirit of the Floating Ind appeared beside Aveline and congratted him. ''Three regions? I wonder what they are?'' Even though the scene in front of Ajax didn''t look like a nightmare, Ajax was not surprised much by it. Because, every nightmare starts with a pleasant dream and the more one enjoys the pleasant dream, the more terrifying the nightmare would be. However, Ajax was curious about the regions conquered by Aveline. "After leaving my three regions, there are only two more regions, the Earth and Wind Regions, left before I enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind to get the secret of the Floating Ind¡­Haha." n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Avelineughed out loud as he looked forward to his future. ''If he had yet to conquer the Earth and Wind Regions, then he must have conquered my Metal Region already in this nightmare.'' Ajax nodded his head as he patiently oversaw Aveline''s pleasant dream which might turn into a deadly nightmare at any moment now. Days passed by in a sh as Aveline was ready to wage another war and this time, he chose the Earth Region. "Oberon, shall we make a bet?" Just like how he defeated the Veiled Vampire Emperor, Aveline used the same tactic on the ruler of the Earth Region. If it was in the real world, this tactic would have been an utter flop; however, it was a nightmare in which Aveline was at a pleasant phase. So, Oberon, the Abyssal Drak Lord, agreed to it with a confident look on his face, only to lose his army to Aveline''s special army. "So, will you be my subordinate?" Aveline asked with a slight smile and Oberon agreed thus, Aveline gained another region and with that, there was only one more region left for him to conquer. After waiting for a year, Aveline once again went with his invading mission and using the same tactic, he gained Ghost Naga Queen as his subordinate and became the ruler of her region too. "Since I have sessfully be the ruler of five regions, it is time to enter the core¡­" ''Puchi'' Even before he could finish his thoughts, a sharp w pierced through his body. "You¡­" Turning his head to see how sneaked an attack on him, Aveline was shocked. Chapter 1897 Nightmare (2) Chapter 1897 Nightmare (2) In the nightmare, everything went smoothly for Aveline until he reached his final goal of entering the Core Region of the Floating Ind. Aveline believed that inside the Core Region, there was some kind of artifact and whoever got his hands on it would be the master of the entire Floating Ind. Of course, it was just a belief among the rulers of the Floating Ind regarding the artifact and bing the Master of the Floating Ind. ording to the Spirit of the Floating Ind, one could only enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind by conquering the five regions namely, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal. And that''s the reason why everyone was eager to conquer the other regions. Currently, Aveline has sessfully conquered the remaining four regions and met the conditions to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind. However, before he could ask the Spirit of the Floating Ind, someone sneaked an attack on him. "You¡­" The one who pierced through his body was none other than the Veiled Vampire Emperor that Aveline had taken as his subordinate. "Yeah¡­it''s me¡­Haha." Maximus chuckled when he saw the expression on Aveline''s face and nodded his head with a face full of satisfaction. Maximus has been waiting for this day for a long time. Even though he had to surrender and be Aveline''s subordinate in the middle, he never lost hope and secretly nned to take down Aveline. "H-how did you remove the Bestial Mark I left in your Spirit Consciousness?" Even though Aveline knew that Maximus would betray him in the future, he was very careful and imprinted a Quasi-God Grade ve Imprint in Maximus''s Spirit Consciousness. However, somehow Maximus has removed that ve Imprint and backstabbed him. "Huh? What''s happening? Why can''t I activate my Divine Rules?" For cultivators who have reached Aveline''s level of cultivation, they won''t die just from a single piercing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om So, Aveline thought to activate his Divine Rules; however, for some reason, he was unable to activate them, which made him shocked and made him more anxious. "Haha¡­it is because of this Divine Grade Artifact I received from my Ancestor. Once it is pierced into a cultivator''s body, they won''t be able to activate their Divine Rules anymore." Maximus chuckled eerily as he exined why Aveline was unable to activate the Divine Rules. ''Aargh'' Suddenly, Aveline felt his entire body was being stung by countless Emperor Bats and felt his blood was being sucked by them. It was very painful that Aveline had never experienced in his life and thus, he could not help but cry out loud in pain. "Haha" As for Maximus, he startedughing as he enjoyed Aveline going through pain. "Y-you¡­what are you waiting for? Kill him." Compared to the pain he was going through, Aveline could not see Maximus, his lifelong enemy,ugh at him. He became furious and shouted at his special army that had reached 20000 after absorbing all the regions in the Floating Ind. ''...'' However, there was no response from the Special Army he put his blood and soul to nurture. "What''s happening? Why are they not doing anything?" It was another shock that Aveline had received when he saw that the Special Army was standing still without following his orders. "W-wait a second¡­did you justugh? Laughing at your master?" Suddenly, Aveline noticed that some members of the Special Army wereughing at his current situation and soon, he saw everyone in the Special Army startughing at him. "Do you want to know why? It was because I fed them the Divine Water which was also given to me by my ancestor." Maximus replied with a mocking smile on his face as he continued, "With the help of the Divine Water from the Heavenly Bestial Realm, whatever you are feeding them to be your ves had disappeared just like the ve Imprint on my Spirit Consciousness." "Y-you¡­you¡­how the hell are you receiving the gifts from your Ancestor? Wasn''t the Heavenly Bestial Realmpletely shut off from the Floating Ind?" Aveline was going through a lot of pain which he never experienced in his life; however, there were so many questions in his head. Questions like how Maximus was able to receive so many items from his ancestor. Howe he didn''t know even when the ve Imprint in Maximus''s spirit consciousness disappeared? And more importantly, howe he didn''t realize that Maximus was doing so many things on his back? It was only some of the questions and there were still many questions in his mind; however, because of the pain, his mind was unable to think straight. "Damn you¡­if you want to kill me, just kill me; however, before that, answer my questions." Because of the pain, Aveline was speaking in a loud voice as he indirectly asked Maximus to kill him. "Haha¡­don''t worry. Even though what you are going through seems painful¡­oh sorry, it is really painful." Maximus chuckled as he continued, "However, it won''t kill you. Instead, the dagger in your body will decrease your pain tolerance to make sure you go through a lot of pain." After finished saying what he wanted to say, Maximus asked, "Shall we go back to the Golden City that you built very dearly?" "M-my Golden City?" Hearing Maximus'' words, made Aveline cough out a mouthful of ck blood due to anger as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don''t you dare touch my Golden City. It is the only thing that lets memunicate with my ancestor in the Heavenly Bestial Realm." ''Huh? Why the hell did I mention that?'' After saying that, Aveline realized that he said something he should not have said because now, Maximus would make sure to destroy the entire Golden City. "Haha¡­I know that. That''s why I am going to destroy the Golden City." Aveline raised his brows when he heard Maximus'' words because no one knew about the secret that he couldmunicate with the ancestor from the Heavenly Bestial Realm through the Golden City. ''Huh? Communicating with someone from the Heavenly Bestial Realm?'' Ajax, who was enjoying the scene in front of him raised his brows when he heard their conversation. Chapter 1898 Conquering the Second Region Chapter 1898 Conquering the Second Region Thanks to the conversation between Aveline and Maximus, Ajax was learning something new; however, when he heard that the Golden City in the Fire Region was the medium to contact someone from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. If someone could maintain contact with the people from the Heavenly Realms, they could get the valuable resources to increase their cultivation rapidly. Even the lowest of the lowest-grade cultivation resources in the Heavenly Realms would be an item that would shake the entire universe. Most importantly, it would be another thing to convince the other party to give you something because those who ascend to the Heavenly Realms no longer need cultivation resources. So far, from what Ajax knows about the ascension and the Heavenly Realms, he believed that the ascended cultivators would sponsor the cultivators in exchange for the protection of their families. Of course, Ajax thought it wouldn''t be the only reason for the ascended cultivators to give some valuable cultivation resources to their descendants or any other cultivators; however, he decided to figure this out in the future. ''If the Golden City is a medium tomunicate with the cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm, then I could try to get a Divine Grade Fruit.'' The only thing stopping Ajax from converting his Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation was a Divine Grade Fruit. Hence, when he learned about the Golden City in the Fire Region, Ajax became a little excited and decided to try his best to get the Divine Grade Fruit. Once he bes a Divine Spirit Cultivator, his battle prowess would rapidly increase, and he could take on the cultivators with the Divine Rules without even using his Divine Rules. ''Once I be the ruler of the Fire Region, I will first check the Golden City.'' Ajax thought this in his head, but at the same time, his eyes fell on the Veiled Vampire Emperor. ''From the looks of it, this Veiled Vampire Emperor must also have a medium to contact someone from the Heavenly Besital Realm.'' Even though it was a Nightmare created by Ajax''s ability, all the information in Aveline''s mind would be used to create the Nightmare. ording to Aveline, the Veild Vampire Emperor also have a medium tomunicate with someone from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. ''Of course, the information in Aveline''s head about Maximus might be wrong. Anyway, the information about the Golden City will be entirely true.'' Ajax was sure about Golden City and was looking forward to it. "Haha¡­do you think just because I became your ve, I will forget everything and do everything you order?" No one will sense Ajax''s presence in the Nightmare unless Ajax wants to. So, the conversation between Aveline and Maximus continued. "During the past few years, I was nning every day on how to torture on this day." Maximus chuckled excitedly, "First, I will destroy your Golden City right before your eyes." "Next, I will take all the wealth you have been saving for dozens of centuries." "Last but not least, I will keep you aliveand let you see how I will take the artifact in the Core Region before bing the True Ruler of the Floating Ind." Even though Aveline didn''t like the other rulers of the Floating Ind bing the sole Ruler, he absolutely hated to see the Veiled Vampire Emperor bing the sole Ruler of the Floating Ind. Hence, Maximus decided to make sure Aveline watched it. "Of course, other than the Mental Pain, I will daily send someone from your Special Army to make sure you go through the Physical Pain." Just when Maximus finished the list of things he was nning to do to Aveline, he said another thing, surprising Ajax. Soon, time rapidly passed as days turned into months, years, decades, centuries and reached millennium. During this period, Maximus didn''t go back on his word as he fulfilled everything he promised to do to Aveline. ''It looks like my abilities are bing more and more powerful that even I am unable to see the torture he was going through.'' Ajax, observing from the sky, shivered and even felt pity for Aveline, watching all the scenes and deciding to end the night. ''It is enough for him.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om With a snap, Ajax left the Nightmare and Aveline also opened his eyes in his body. ''It looks like I don''t have to kill him.'' The moment Aveline came out of the Nightmare, he was dead even before Ajax could kill him, ''Swoosh'' [Congrattions to the Ruler of the Metal Region for sessfully defeating the Ruler of the Fire Region] [The Wilderness between the Fire Region and Metal Region will disappear, and the two regions will share amon boundary from now on] As soon as Aveline died, the Spirit of the Floating Ind could sense it and appeared in front of Ajax before congratting him. [Since the Ruler didn''t want any new subordinates, all the inhabitants of the Fire Region will be killed] ''W..wait'' [All the inhabitants were sessfully killed] Before Ajax could stop the Spirit of the Floating Ind, it informed him that it had killed everyone from the Fir Region. [What happened, Ruler of the Two Regions? Didn''t you say you didn''t want any new subordinates? That''s why I took care of them. Why? You want them back? It''s not possible now] Sensing Ajax''s reaction, the light orb asked Ajax about it."It''s nothing." Ajax shook his head and ordered his Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits, "Everyone, take rest and venture to the new region if you want. You can freely move between the Fire Region and Metal Region without encountering Unevolved Spirit Beasts." "Yes, Master." "Yes, Summoning Master." All the Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts excitedly nodded their heads when they heard Ajax''s words before doing what they wanted to. "As for me, I will go and check out the Golden City and see how I can use it tomunicate with the Ascended Cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm." Chapter 1899 Tensed Rulers Chapter 1899 Tensed Rulers Even though Ajax was confident in invading the other regions of the Floating Ind in his current condition, he was not interested in it. Instead, he was interested in the Golden City in his new region. Hence, he hurriedly flew to the Golden City under the guidance of the Spirit of the Floating Ind. ¡­. [The youngest ruler of the Floating Ind has sessfully invaded the Fire Region and defeated that region''s ruler] [The youngest ruler now owns two regions in the Floating Ind] While Ajax was flying towards the Golden City, the spirit of the Floating Ind informed about the result of the fight between Ajax and Aveline. In the Floating Ind, the ruler of each region has the privilege of having a spirit of the Floating Ind that informs the rulers about the events and other things happening in the Floating Ind. Even though each ruler has a spirit of the Floating Ind, in reality, there is only one spirit of the Floating Ind, and all the spirits these rulers have could be considered clones or a part of the main spirit. Moreover, as the spirit of the Floating Ind, it knows everything that is happening there, and thus, the rulers could get to know everything from their personalized spirit of the Floating Ind. Conditions apply. "What? Aveline lost?" The rulers of the three regions were shocked to hear that, and they started asking for more details about the fight. [The new ruler has used only one Divine Rule, and it was the Divine Dark Rule] [However, he had three powerful contracted spirit beasts that have one, two and three Divine Rules, respectively, that took down Aveline''s special army on their own] [Also, the new ruler used a unique skill and instantly revived two of his Contracted Spirit Beasts] The spirit of the Floating Ind briefly exined the important things to the rulers, and with each new thing they learned about Ajax, they became more shocked. Among them, the one thing that shocked them most was Ajax''s ability to receive his contracted spirit beasts. It was because reviving skills are not normal and can be seen everywhere and whenever they want. And those who have such skills should not be messed with. ''It''s good that the new ruler didn''t use his rulership to challenge Aveline; otherwise, we would still be clueless about him.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Even though they were shocked at Ajax''s abilities, they were happy to get the information about Ajax. When an official duel between the rulers happens, other than the result of the official duel, nothing about the rulers'' information would be revealed. Not only did Ajax physically enter the Fire Region of the Floating Ind and even get his prowess suppressed, but he also won against Aveline, which shows he was very powerful. ''If he challenges us for an official duel, then I don''t think I can win against him.'' This was the only thought in the heads of all the rulers after learning some new things about Ajax. All the rulers on the Floating Ind have more or less strength, simr to Aveline. There might be some rulers with more trump cards; however, they could guess Ajax didn''t use his full strength to kill Aveline. Since Ajax could kill Aveline very easily despite having the regional restriction on him, if they challenged the rulers, it would be a piece of cake for Ajax to defeat them because there would be no restrictions in an official duel. Also, Ajax could issue an official challenge to any of them; however, they could not do the same to them because Ajax had just finished a battle and became a ruler of a new region. So, they were all tense because if Ajax issued a challenge right now, they were not ready. ''Let''s hurry up and make preparations.'' ''I think I should surrender before he could issue a challenge.'' ''I am not confident in defeating Aveline, and since the new ruler could defeat Aveline easily, he could do the same to me whether it was an official duel or an unofficial duel.'' Except for one ruler, the two other rulers thought it was better to surrender to this new ruler named Ajax before he could issue them the challenge. Once the challenge was issued, one of the rulers had to die, and since they were not confident in defeating Aveline, they were not confident in defeating Ajax either. Hence, they decided to surrender. ''Let''s not waste any time and do it.'' The two rulers sat in their luxurious vis and kept their egos and pride aside before making that decision. Of course, the two rulers were making independent decisions and werepletely unaware of each other''s decisions. "Spirit, I want to surrender to the new ruler of the Fire and Metal Region. Can you ask him whether he wants to ept me?" Once they made their decisions, these two rulers didn''t waste any time as they asked the Spirit of the Floating Ind to convey their message to Ajax. [Are you sure about it? Once you surrender, you will be someone else''s subordinate and have to listen to his orders.] Just like it asked Ajax multiple times regarding his physical attack on the Fire Region, the Spirit of the Floating Ind did the same thing to the two rulers who wanted to surrender to Ajax. "Yes. We are sure about it." As the oldest rulers of the Floating Ind, they had spent a lot of time with the Spirit of the Floating Ind and knew about its behaviour. So, they didn''t think much about it and seriously nodded their heads. ''I hope he epts our surrender and lets us be his subordinates.'' From the Spirit of the Floating Ind, they learned that Aveline was willing to surrender to Ajax; however, Ajax didn''t ept his surrender and killed Aveline and all the inhabitants of the Fire Region. They didn''t want the same thing to happen to them or their inhabitants and hoped Ajax would ept their surrender. As for the third ruler, he was busy making preparations in case Ajax issued a challenge to him. Chapter 1900 Ajaxs Choice Chapter 1900 Ajax''s Choice [Rosaline, The Ruler of the Wind Region of the Floating Ind wants to surrender. Do you ept her as your subordinate and take her region?] [Oberon, The Ruler of the Earth Region of the Floating Ind wants to surrender. Do you ept her as your subordinate and take her region?] As Ajax was flying towards the Golden City in the center of the Fire Region of the Floating Ind, the Spirit of the Floating Ind appeared and informed them about the two rulers who wanted to surrender to him. ''Huh?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard the words of the Floating Ind''s Spirit; however, he quickly recovered from his shock and asked, "Why? Why do they want to surrender to me?" He was confused by those two rulers. It was because of how much those two rulers of the Floating Ind must have worked hard to reach their current position, and now, they want to be his subordinates. ''Wait a second¡­are they nning to kill me just like how the Veiled Vampire Emperor has done to Aveline in the nightmare?'' Before the Spirit of the Floating Ind said anything, Ajax assumed something like this. After witnessing the scenes in Aveline''s Nightmare, Ajax could tell that these rulers of the Floating Ind have direct contact with the ascended cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. So, even if they be his subordinates, as long as they could get some unique items from the Heavenly Bestial Realm behind his back, they could break free of Ajax''s spiritual imprint in their Spirit Consciousness before stabbing him in the back. [These two rulers of the Floating Ind are worried that you might officially challenge them using your rulership] [In the Offical Duel, one of the rulers must die at any cost] [Since you have physically entered the Fire Region and even defeated its ruler, Aveline, despite having a suppression on your battle prowess, they believe that you are stronger and they won''t stand a chance in fighting against you] [Thus, they decided to be your subordinates] The Spirit of the Floating Ind was still in the light orb form as it replied to everything about the two rulers who wanted to surrender to him while circling Ajax. "Is that so?" Hearing that, Ajax could not help but smile a little, "Looks like these two rulers value their lives very dearly." ''Should I give them a chance and make them my subordinates?'' Ajax silently thought about it while flying towards the Golden City. If each ruler of the Floating Ind was more or less as strong as Aveline, then having them as his subordinates was not a bad thing. As for the betrayal, Ajax didn''t think much about it because his goal was to ascend to the Heavenly Realms and search for his mother while exploring the Heavenly Realms. Also, once they be his subordinates, Ajax could eventually turn them into his loyal subordinates even if they have any ill intentions towards him. ''Also, unlike other cultivators, once I leave my Spirit Imprint in their Bestial or Spirit Consciousness, it would slowly but steadily increase their bodies.'' Ajax was not a regr cultivator but a cultivator with Divine Spirit Consciousness and the Divine Essence of Nature. If he forms a contract with the Spirit Beasts, a connection will be formed between Ajax and those Spirit Beasts and the Divine Essence of Nature will also slowly enter these Spirit Beasts'' bodies. Even though they could not use Ajax''s Divine Essence of Nature, it would slowly temper their bodies, making them stronger. Other than this, Ajax could help these contracted spirit beasts with a wide range of unique cultivation resources, and once they get the taste of it, it would be impossible for them to betray Ajax. Of course, some might think about Aveline''s special army betraying Aveline with Maximus; however, unlike Aveline, Ajax won''t use any forbidden items to control them or mess with their mind. So, it won''t be like what happened in Aveline''s Nightmare¡­at least for Ajax. [Do you not want to ept their surrender?] [Do you want to kill them and everyone in their regions just like how you did with Aveline and his inhabitants?] As Ajax was thinking, the Spirit of the Floating Ind continued to circle him as it asked him whether he wanted to enter these regions to kill them physically. "What do you think of me?" Ajax looked at the light orb circling around him with a frown, exining, "I am not someone who enjoys killing everyone I encounter." [Is that so?] Evidently, the Spirit of the Floating Ind didn''t believe his words as it asked once again, [Do you ept their surrender or not?] "..." Ajax was momentarily speechless before saying, "I will ept their surrender and make them my subordinates. Ask them to enter my territory so that I can leave my Spiritual Imprint on them." With a Spiritual Imprint, Ajax could kill them with a single thought if he sensed anything wrong with their behaviour or actions. Moreover, he has another important reason for nning to take them. ''If I can''t use the Golden City of the Fire Region, then I can use the mediums in the hands of those rulers tomunicate with the Ascended Cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm to get a Divine Fruit.'' Even though Ajax learned that the Golden City was a medium to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he felt a bad feeling about it. Since Ajax killed Aveline, the owner of the Golden City, if he tried to use the Golden City to contact someone from the Heavenly Bestial Realm, that particr someone might not want to make a deal with him. As far as Ajax witnessed, the mediums that let the cultivatorsmunicate or contract the ascended cultivators from the Heavenly Realm were bestowed by their blood-rted ancestors. Since Ajax killed Aveline, the ascended cultivator in the Heavenly Bestial Realm might be rted to Aveline through blood, and he might not exchange with Ajax. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Also, there are chances that he might be angry with me and want to kill me.'' .... 1900 chapters...^.^ Chapter 1901 Entering the Golden City Chapter 1901 Entering the Golden City ''Also, there are chances that he might be angry with me and want to kill me.'' Let''s say Ajax found out how to contact the Ascended Cultivator from the Heavenly Bestial Realm using the Golden City, and that particr Ascended Cultivator was blood-rted to Aveline. Without a doubt, that particr cultivator could easily figure out that Ajax killed Aveline because that''s the only way someone other than Aveline could use the Golden City. Will the Ascended Cultivator still want to exchange things with Ajax? Moreover, if that particr cultivator''s rtionship with Aveline was very close, then he might do everything in his power to kill Ajax. Hence, Ajax thought that he could use the help of his two new subordinates in case things didn''t go as he nned in the Golden City. ''Let''s see.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om With that thought in mind, Ajax flew towards the Golden City while waiting for his two new subordinates to arrive. He was not worried that these two new ruler-turned-subordinates would work together to kill him. ording to the Spirit of the Floating Ind, Ajax had already be the ruler of the Earth and Wind regions of the Floating Ind after he epted the surrender of the two rulers. So, currently, those rulers have their battle prowess suppressed by 20 percent, and this suppression will disappear once Ajax leaves his Spirit Imprint in their Bestial Consciousness. Once Ajax''s Spirit Imprint appears in their Bestial Consciousness, the Spirit of the Floating Ind will acknowledge them as Ajax''s subordinates and will no longer restrict their battle prowess. ¡­ In the Wind and Earth Regions of the Floating Ind, Rosaline and Oberon, the two rulers of the two regions, were anxious, waiting for a reply from the youngest ruler, Ajax, regarding their surrender. For them, each second passed like a decade. ''Should I form an alliance with the other rulers to defeat this youngest ruler?'' At the same time, both rulers had the same thought in their heads. [Congrattions to Rosaline. Your surrender has been epted by the youngest ruler, Ajax] [Congrattions to Oberon. Your surrender has been epted by the youngest ruler, Ajax] [The youngest ruler asked you to meet him andplete the final part to be his true subordinates as soon as possible] However, their worries disappeared the moment they heard the congrattory notifications from the Spirit of the Floating Ind. ''He asked us toe to him? Great.'' They were not embarrassed or humiliated for being called by Ajax because they had already acknowledged Ajax as their master, and forming a contract with him was the first thing they should do. Also, they were surprised when they realized that they were not the only ones who surrendered to Ajax; they decided to rush to Ajax sooner than the other rulers. Hence, they were excited andpetitive about it and decided to rush to Ajax to form the contract and be senior to the other ruler. In the Water Region of the Floating Ind, [The two rulers, Rosaline of the Wind Region and Oberon of the Earth Region have surrendered to the youngest ruler of the Floating Ind on their own] [Their surrender was epted by the youngest ruler, Ajax] [The youngest ruler, Ajax, has sessfully be the ruler of four regions] ''What the¡­what''s happening?'' Maximus, the Veild Vampire Emperor, was making preparations in case the youngest ruler, Ajax, challenged him to a duel. Suddenly, the Spirit of the Floating Ind appeared in front of him and informed Maximus about the recent happenings on the Floating Ind, which shocked him to death. Maximus was already a little worried about Ajax, who had been able to defeat Aveline, his archenemy, for centuries, and now, the two other rulers of the Floating Ind surrendered to him. If Ajax and these two rulers had attacked him, then there would have been no way Maximus could win against them. ''Should I just surrender just like the other rulers.'' Since Ajax was epting the surrender of the other ruler, Maximus also felt that it was a good idea to surrender. ''What? Why do youpare yourself with these ordinary rulers?'' Suddenly, the vampire ego in his heart said that he should not do such a thing. "That''s right! As the top race in the universe, how could I bow my head to a human? If it was at least a ruler from the Dragon Race, I might have surrendered, but it''s just a human." Dragons and Vampires are the two most powerful and strongest races in the universe, and they are considered at the top of the food chain. So, Maximus, who belongs to the Vampire race, has been fed so many things. Vampires are the greatest, and a vampire should never bow their head to someone. Eventually, Maximus develops a vampire ego in his heart, which says that instead of surrendering to a human ruler, it is better to die fighting him. ''That''s the spirit. You are truly a descendent of the Progenitor Vampire.'' The vampire ego in his head praised him as Maximus became more confident in his actions. "I will contact the Progenitor and get some divine items for the uing fight." Soon, Maximus decided to go all out in preparing for the fight against Ajax. Until a few moments ago, for Maximus, the chances of Ajax attacking in a short time were very low; however, after getting two rulers as his subordinates without a fight, Maximus believed that Ajax would directlye to his territory to fight him. Thus, Maximus wanted to gather as many powerful items as possible from the Heavenly Bestial Realm while waiting for Ajax''s arrival into his territory. ¡­. In the Fire Region, On the other hand, Ajax didn''t even think about conquering or rted stuff; instead, he focused entirely on the Golden City. ''Swoosh'' ''This city looks the same as before.'' Soon, Ajax reached the Golden City, which he had seen once on his previous visit to the Floating Ind. However, he was not strong enough to back them, and Aveline''s subordinates searched for him. ''Let''s find out how¡­'' ''Ding, The host has entered a Quasi-Divine City. ''Ding, The system has detected a portal in the city that connects to a particr location in the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Chapter 1902 Quasi-Divine Artifact Chapter 1902 Quasi-Divine Artifact The Golden City was surrounded by huge volcanoes that seemed to form some connection with the Golden City and didn''t show any signs of erupting. As its names suggest, the entire city was gold in colour and emitted a golden halo even from a distance. The city was not huge. In fact, its size was far from Ajax''s imagination of the grand city that was acting as a medium to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. ''Despite being small, the Golden City looks magnificent.'' From the distance, Ajax noticed the Golden City and could not help but marvel at the buildings inside the Golden City. Each building inside the Golden City is unique, making it a perfect royal city. ''Ding, The host has entered a Quasi-Divine City. ''Ding, The system has detected a portal in the city that connects to a particr location in the Heavenly Bestial Realm. As soon as Ajax entered the Golden City, he received the system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised. ''You found it? Where is it?'' Before entering the Golden City, Ajax was worried about where exactly he had to look for in the entire Golden City tomunicate with the Ascended Cultivator from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. However, with the system notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and asked the system about it. ''Wait a second¡­weren''t you undergoing an upgrade? Did youplete it already?'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om At the same time, Ajax remembered that the system should be in the middle of an upgrade and ording to the system, it won''tmunicate with him until it finishes the upgrade. So, Ajax could not help but ask the system about it. ''Ding, No, I am yet toplete my upgrade. ''Ding, Since I detected an item rted to the Heavenly Realms, I have to stop my upgrade in the middle to help you. The system exined to him why it was able tomunicate with him even before it finished its upgrade. [Even though entering the Golden City is easy, it won''t be an easy task to find out how to use it tomunicate with the ascended cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm] On the side, the light orb informed Ajax and continued, [If you start looking for it, it would take at least a year to find it] [Of course, if you want, I can help you find it in an instant] Suddenly, the Spirit of the Floating Ind said that it didn''t mind helping Ajax. ''Ding, Please enter the third-tallest building in the city. ''Ding, There is a mirror in the main hall of the building and it is the power source of the entire Golden City and the medium to connect with the Ascended Cultivator from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. However, Ajax had already got the information about the medium from the system, making him smile at the light orb before flying into the third tallest building in the city. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly entered the building and stood in front of the Golden-Edged Mirror. [Y-you¡­how did you know this mirror is the medium to the Heavenly Bestial Realm?] The Spirit of the Floating Ind beside Ajax was shocked by Ajax''s action and asked, [Don''t tell me, you already knew about the Golden-Edged Mirror] "Haha" All Ajax did in response to the words of the Spirit of the Floating Ind was tough and think in his head, ''I didn''t know but I will know now.'' ''System, since you have stopped your upgrade, can you appraise the Golden-Edged Mirror in front of me?'' From the looks of it, the Spirit of the Floating Ind seemed to know about the Golden-Edged Mirror and how to use it. However, Ajax preferred the system''s information over someone else''s. Of course, if the system had not stopped its upgrade in the middle, he would have relied on the Spirit of the Floating Ind. Now, there was no reason for Ajax to rely on the Spirit of the Floating Ind when he had his partner. ''Ding, Item Name: Golden Mirror of Exchange. Item Grade: Quasi-Divine. Effect: An artifact that can let someone from the Earth Realm exchange one thing per activation with a particr cultivator from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Earth Realm Cultivator: None. (Previous Cultivator is dead). Heavenly Bestial Realm Cultivator: Unknown. (The host needs to find it on his own) Information: A cultivator needs to inject his Essence of Nature into the Mirror to activate the mirror. The quantity of the Essence of Nature depends on the quality of the Cultivator''s Essence of Nature. More Information: Once the mirror is activated, it lets the cultivatormunicate with the cultivator on the other side. Note: The duration of themunication is limited and once that time is up, the cultivator once again needs to pour the Essence of Nature into it to activate. Soon, the system showed Ajax the full information it had in its database regarding the Golden-Edged Mirror. ''Interesting.'' After reading the entire information about the Golden-Edged Mirror, Ajax felt it was an interesting item. It could let the cultivators from both realms exchange one thing: every time they activate the Golden-Edged Mirror. So, of course, it was interesting. ''But, I wonder what kind of things someone who has already ascended to the Heavenly Realm would want?'' Ajax felt that it wouldn''t be an easy thing to exchange things with an Ascended Cultivator before everything in the Earth Realm was trash in their eyes. ''Anyway, before let''s know what kind of reaction he will have when he sees someone other than Aveline activating this Golden Mirror of Exchange.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax started injecting his Divine Essence of Nature into the Golden Mirror of Exchange. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host has injected 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has injected 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. In just a matter of seconds, the Golden Mirror of Exchange absorbed 20000 units of Divine Essence of Nature, making Ajax a little bit shocked. However, he continued to pour more units of the Divine Essence of Nature and when the amount reached 100,000 units, the Golden Mirror of Exchange finally shone. Chapter 1903 Eagle Man Chapter 1903 Eagle Man When Ajax saw the Golden Mirror of Exchange shine, he knew it was activating; however, when he checked the amount of Divine Essence of Nature he injected into the Golden Mirror, he was shocked. ''Just to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange, it needs 100,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Even though the Golden Mirror of Exchange might be a Quasi-Divine Grade Artifact; however, 100,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature was a little bit too much. ''It was not 100000 units of Normal Essence of Nature but Divine Essence of Nature.'' Ajax shook his head as he muttered, ''I wonder how long it would have taken for Aveline to activate this Golden Mirror of Exchange.'' It was because one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature was equivalent to billions of units of the Normal Essence of Nature and Ajax knew Aveline didn''t have ess to the Divine Essence of Nature. From this, Ajax could tell that it was not easy for Aveline to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again and again with such a huge requirement of Essence of Nature for just activating it. ''Swoosh'' Amidst his thoughts, the Golden Mirror stopped shining and returned to normal; however, this time, there was someone inside the mirror. It was a human with an eagle beak and he had a halo around his body like a divine being. "Huh? Who are you? Where is Aveline?" As soon as he saw Ajax, the eagle-beaked man in the mirror frowned as he asked Ajax about Aveline. "Does it matter? Since we only have a limited time, let''s talk business." Even though Ajax was not afraid to say that he killed Aveline, Ajax wanted to get a Divine Fruit from the eagle-beaked man. Thus, he tried to divert the topic and asked the man to talk about business. "What business? I don''t exchange things with strangers." The Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax and said, "If you want to talk business, ask Aveline to be the spokesperson for you." "Huh? You want Aveline to be a middle person for us?" Ajax frowned as he didn''t expect the Eagle Man to be so calm andposed with his replies. "Yes. Unless he is dead¡­let''s not continue our conversation." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The Eagle Man saw Ajax''s frown and indirectly asked for confirmation of Aveline''s life and death. ''Did he guess that I killed him already?'' Deep down, Ajax felt that the Eagle Man had already figured and that''s the only reason why the Eagle Man was asking about Aveline''s life and death. ''Wait a second¡­he had the golden beak and even though Aveline lookedpletely human except for his golden wings, he was a cultivated eagle-type spirit beast.'' Soon, Ajax thought, ''That means the man in the mirror has a blood rtionship with Aveline.'' The Eagle Man was calm andposed regarding Aveline''s life and death because he wanted Ajax to think that he had nothing to do with Aveline. However, Ajax had already figured out that the Eagle Man in the mirror and Aveline were rted by blood. "How are you rted to Aveline?" Ajax didn''t answer that the Eagle Man wanted to listen; instead, he asked about his rtionship with Aveline. ''...'' When he heard Ajax''s question, the Eagle Man was silent for a moment before answering, "He was just a member of my Golden Eagle Race." "Let''splete the exchange and I will tell you what happened to Aveline." Even though Ajax got an answer from the Eagle Man, he was not satisfied with it. Moreover, Ajax knew that once he revealed the fact that he killed Aveline, the Eagle Man would no longer remain calm andposed. Also, the most important thing was, he would not want to exchange anything with Ajax. Thus, Ajax said they shouldplete the exchange before he gives the information that the Eagle Man wants. ''...'' The Eagle Man remained silent as he suddenly red at Ajax; however, Ajax acted like he didn''t see it and waited for the Eagle Man''s reply. "Fine." Seeing that Ajax was not showing any signs of fear, the Eagle Man controlled his hidden anger and agreed with Ajax''s condition. "Great" Ajax smiled a little when he saw the Eagle Man nod his head. "Tell me what you want in exchange for the information regarding Little Aveline." The Eagle Man no longer bothered to hide his closeness with Aveline as he addressed Aveline with ''Little'' while striking a deal with Ajax. "I want any consumable Divine Grade Fruit." Without hesitation or embarrassment, Ajax directly asked for what he wanted in exchange for Aveline''s information. Currently, Ajax has lots of cultivation resources and he is confident in getting more cultivation resources by exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm and the Dark Region of the universe. However, he was not confident in getting his hands on a Divine Grade Fruit. Therefore, Ajax asked for anyone Divine Grade Fruit in exchange for the information rted to Aveline. "Consumable Divine Grade Fruit?" The Eagle Man frowned when he heard Ajax''s words as he replied, "Are you nning to kill yourself by eating a Divine Grade Fruit?" "No matter how strong your body is, if you eat a Divine Grade Fruit, your entire body would explode." The Eagle Man didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as he continued, "Also, I can''t give away a Divine Grade Fruit so easily. Even in the ce I am currency in, it is not easy to get my hands on a Divine Grade Fruit." "Even if I have one, I will be eating it myself; instead of giving it away¡­scoff." In the end, the Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax. "Huh?" Ajax frowned at the Eagle Man''s words because he didn''t expect that even in the Heavenly Bestial Realm, it was not easy to own a Divine Grade Fruit. Also, when he thought about it, Ajax felt all the points mentioned by the Eagle Man were valid. "So, if you still want an exchange, change your request." The Eagle Man gave Ajax a chance to change what he wanted. "Then, tell me about the Heavenly Realms and what kinds of ces they are." Chapter 1904 Exchange Chapter 1904 Exchange "Then, tell me about the Heavenly Realms and what kinds of ces they are." Even though Ajax felt what the other party was saying about the Consummable Divine Grade Fruit, he was sure that the other party was just not willing to give him. How could the Heavenly Realmsck any Divine Grade Fruits? If Ajax guessed right, the starting grade for any items or fruits in the Heavenly Realms might be Divine Grade. Moreover, Ajax was not specific about the Divine Grade Fruits. He was just asking for any Divine Grade and how could it not be easy to exchange? The problem was obviously, that the other party didn''t want to give away a Divine Grade Fruit to Ajax when he doubted Ajax as the killer of his Little Descendant. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Since there was nothing Ajax could do about it, he changed the second-best thing that he wanted and that didn''t cost much for the Eagle Man to give him. "It is just sharing some information between two parties." Before the Eagle Man could say anything, Ajax added another line, indirectly saying that both parties won''t be losing but gaining some information that they both want. "It looks like you don''t belong to any faction." The Eagle Man looked at Ajax with mixed emotions when he said that line because deep down, he felt Ajax was a genius that could be recruited to his faction. However, deep down, he knew that Ajax had done something to Aveline and how could he recruit someone who killed his descendant? So, he had mixed emotions towards Ajax. "Fine¡­there is not much time. Let''s exchange." The Eagle Man knew they were running out of time and thus, he suggested they should exchange. "Fine. You tell me first and once I am satisfied with your information, I will¡­" "Hold on." Before Ajax could finish his words, the Eagle Man interrupted Ajax before saying, "You have never used the Golden Mirror of Exchange, right?" "Yes." Ajax was not embarrassed as he nodded his head. "The Golden Mirror of Exchange works very simply. Once the exchange is finalized between the two parties, all they have to do is ce their hands on the mirror and the exchange will be done." The Eagle Man exined exactly how the Golden Mirror of Exchange works as he continued, "In case of information exchange, the knowledge about the finalized deal will be exchanged and as for the items, they would automatically be absorbed by the Golden Mirror of Exchange before giving it to the other party." "Is that so?" Ajax was a little surprised to hear the Eagle Man''s exnation; however, when he thought about how the Golden Mirror of Exchange was a Quasi-Divine grade artifact, Ajax believed it without a doubt. Since it was Ajax''s first time exchanging something with the Eagle Man, he doesn''t know whether the cultivator on the other side would really keep his word and still exchange after Ajax shared the information about what happened to Aveline. Also, it was the same for the Eagle Man. What if Ajax didn''t share the information after he received all the information he needed from the Eagle Man? Now, the most important thing was, how to tell whether the other party was lying and sharing some false information. In short, the Golden Mirror of Exchange makes sure that the other party doesn''t go back on his words after he got what he wanted from the first party and only shares the true information and genuine products in each exchange between the two parties. ''System, when I and that Eagle Man touch the Golden Mirror of Exchange at the same time, nothing would happen to me, right?'' Of course, Ajax didn''t entirely believe the Eagle Man''s words as he asked the system about it. Because he was worried that the Eagle Man might be able to harm him when they both came into contact through the Golden Mirror of Exchange. ''Ding, There is no need for the host to worry about such things. ''Ding, Firstly, it is not possible to harm each other through the Golden Mirror of Exchange, whose entire purpose was to let the two parties from either sideplete an exchange. ''Ding, Secondly, even if there was an option of the ascended cultivator attacking a cultivator from the Earth Realm, it is forbidden to attack, much killing them. ''Ding, If that happened, the ascended cultivator would be facing some serious consequences that might lead him to his certain death. Soon, the system sent one system notification after another and exined everything within its database, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Let''s do it." Once he got the confirmation from the system, Ajax nodded his head and ced his hands on the Golden Mirror of Exchange. ''It looks like the Eagle Man would learn that I killed Aveline; however, it doesn''t matter as long as I get the information on the Heavenly Realms.'' As far as Ajax believed, the information he would be receiving from the Eagle Man, who was an ascended cultivator living in the Heavenly Bestial Realm would be much more valuable than the information he could get from the oldest cultivators in the Earth Realm. So, he was happy about it and didn''t think much about the Eagle Man learning about Aveline''s death and his killer. The Eagle Man also ced his hand on the mirror exactly where Ajax ced his hands and in the next second, the Golden Mirror of Exchange shone brightly. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax felt that some foreign information was entering his mind and made him a little dizzy and as more and more information entered, the more dizzy he felt. "I knew that you had killed my little Aveline." The Eagle Man remained calm despite knowing how Ajax killed Aveline because he had already guessed. ''Aargh'' On the other hand, Ajax felt a sharp and throbbing pain in his head as he fell to the ground. "What happened? Do you feel pain? What about my Little Aveline?" Looking at Ajax who clutched his head in pain, the Eagle Man asked in a calm tone. Chapter 1905 Exchange Complete Chapter 1905 Exchange Complete The Eagle Man doubted that Ajax was behind Aveline''s death; however, when he learnt about how exactly Aveline was killed by Ajax, he could not help but be angry. However, as someone who ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he could control his emotions very well and looked calm andposed. "For sharing the information in this manner, you are still too weak. It would take a decade or so to read all the information you received from me. As for the mind throbbing pain, it wouldst until you " After the exchange waspleted, the Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax and exined the reason why Ajax was experiencing so much pain. "Aren''t you afraid of facing consequences for harming me?" Ajax remembered what the system had said about the ascending cultivators receiving punishments for attacking the cultivators from the Earth Realm. Hence, he gritted his teeth and asked the Eagle Man about it. "Haha" To Ajax''s question, the Eagle Man replied with loudughter for a moment before exining to Ajax, "ording to the rules, I have done nothing wrong." "All I did was fulfil the exchange and the pain you are facing was because you are just not strong enough to digest the entire information I have sent you." The Eagle Man didn''t finish talking, "What you are experiencing currently is just the beginning of my revenge. Once you ascend to the Heavenly Realm, I will being for you, remember." Since the Eagle Man could not kill or injure Ajax with his own hands while Ajax was still in the Earth Realm, he was nning to torture Ajax just like how AJax tortured Aveline to death when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Of course, since Ajax could kill Aveline, the Eagle Man knew Ajax was very powerful and would ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm in a century or two. For someone like Eagle Man, waiting for thousands of years was not a big deal, much less waiting for a century or two¡­it would pass in a blink. ''Damn it¡­.system, do something.'' On the other hand, Ajax was in a lot of pain¡­it was a pain that was multiple times more severe than the pain he had endured when he first tempered his body with a Sentient me. After learning that the mind-throbbing pain in his head wouldst for a decade or so, Ajax felt a little anxious and didn''t bother to listen to the Eagle Man''s words any longer. Instead, he asked the system to do something about the pain. ''Ding, Retrieving the entire information gained by the host about the Heavenly Realms from the Eagle Man and storing them in the system''s database. ''Ding, Retrievingpleted. ''Ding, The host won''t feel any more pain. ''Phew'' Followed by a series of system notifications, Ajax no longer felt any pain, making him heave a sigh of relief. "What did you say? I have to experience the pain for a decade or so?" Standing up, Ajax asked the Eagle Man with a slight smile. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "What? How is this possible?" Seeing Ajax stand up and stop groaning in pain, the Eagle Man was shocked as he could not believe his eyes. "I won''t say and let you be in suspense until we meet again in the Heavenly Realms." Ajax scoffed at the Eagle Man and removed his hand from the mirror. "I am going to k¡­." ''Swoosh'' The Eagle Man was unable to control his emotions as he shouted at Ajax with a furious look on his face. However, before he could finish his words, the Golden Mirror of Exchange stopped themunication between Ajax and the Eagle Man. ''It looks like I have made an enemy in the Heavenly Realm before I even ascend.'' Ajax could not help but bitterlyugh at his current situation; however, even if Ajax had to go back in time, he would still kill Aveline and use the Golden Mirror of Exchange. He was hoping to get a Divine Grade Fruit to convert his regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and even though he failed to get that from the Eagle Man, he was happy to get the information about the Heavenly Realms. Although Ajax had his master Mostror and his father, their knowledge of the Heavenly Realms was also limited and who knows how much of the information they have about the Heavenly Realms was true? Now, whatever the information Ajax had about the Heavenly Realms, it was entirely true. Thus, he didn''t mind having an enemy in the Heavenly Bestial Realm. ''Anyway, since the Great Jade Dragon Emperor was going to ascend to the Heavenly Realm soon, I would be having an ally.'' Of course, Ajax knew the Great Jade Dragon Emperor wouldn''t be as strong as the Eagle Man who knows when he ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, however, the Jade Dragon Ancestor was backing the Great Jade Dragon Emperor. So, Ajax was not worried too much about it because when things went out of his control, he would just ask for help from the Jade Dragon Ancestor. ''To be more close to that faction, I need to help the Jade Dragonling in ascending to the Heavenly Bestial Realm.'' Ajax had already promised the Great Jade Dragon Emperor that he would look after the Jade Dragonling once the couple ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. However, now, Ajax decided to actively help Jade Dragonling and if possible, he wanted to help Jade Dragonling ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm earlier than him. ''Swoosh'' [Congrattions on sessfullypleting your exchange with an ascended cultivator, Ruler] Just when Ajax was about to check the information he received from the Eagle Man about the Heavenly Realms, the Spirit of the Floating Ind flew to him and congratted him. [Also, the two ex-rulers of the Earth and Wind Regions of the Floating Ind have entered the Fire Region] At the same time, it also informed Ajax that the two ex-rulers who wanted to be his subordinates had arrived. ''System, show me the information about the Heavenly Realms.'' However, Ajax was more interested in the information and asked the system about it. Chapter 1906 Heavenly Realms Chapter 1906 Heavenly Realms Since the two ex-rulers of the Floating Ind had already submitted to him, Aeon was not much interested in them. Instead of that, Ajax was interested in the information about the Heavenly Realms that he just received from the Eagle Man from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. So, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, When a human cultivator sessfullypletes his ascension, he will reach the Heavenly Human Realm where they will follow apletely new cultivation system. ''Ding, Simrly, there was the Heavenly Bestial Realm for the spirit beasts that sessfullypleted their ascensions and the Heavenly Demon Realm for the demons. ''Ding, The Heavenly Human Realm, Heavenly Demon Realm and the Heavenly Bestial Realm are allprised of called Ninth Heavenly Realm. ''Ding, There were a total of Nine Heavenly Realms and the Ninth Heavenly Realm is at the bottom of them. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax, exining everything about the Heavenly Realms from the beginning. Ajax patiently read one system notification after another because he didn''t want to miss anything important. ''The first two system notifications¡­I already know about it; however, thest two, I didn''t know¡­wait a second.'' Suddenly, Ajax remembered something and muttered, ''My Main Cultivation Technique [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens], what is talking about these nine heavens?'' ording to the information disyed by the system, this God-level cultivation technique will unlock a God-level skill when he circtes the cultivation technique in the nine heavens for the first time. Back then, Ajax didn''t think the nine heavens the system was talking about were the nine Heavenly Realms; however, now, he has a clear idea about it. ''So, as long as I ascend to the Heavenly Human Realm and circte this cultivation technique, I will awaken a God-level skill?'' When he thought like this, Ajax could not help but be excited about ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm. ''What''s more, if I enter the other Heavenly Realm and circte the cultivation technique, I will gain another God-level skill. With these God-level skills, my survival chances in the Heavenly Realms would drastically increase, right?'' Ajax could not help but look forward to the day he would be ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm; however, it would take some time as he had yet to convert his regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. "Anyway, let''s continue reading." The system was sending him some more notifications, making Ajax quickly put an end to his thoughts before resuming, reading them. ''Ding, Every year, there are only limited spots for the cultivators from the Heavenly Human Realm, Heavenly Bestial Realm and Heavenly Demon Realm to ascend to the higher Heavenly Realms. ''Ding, Because of this, there would always be official and unofficial tension between these three Sub Realms in the Ninth Heavenly Realm. ''Ding, Moreover, there are inner tensions and conflicts in each one of these sub-realms and no one knows exactly where the danger wille from. ''Ding, There is no more information regarding the Heavenly Realms and the system highly doubts that it was because of the Golden Mirror of Exchange that limits the knowledge that should be possessed by a cultivator from the Earth Realm. ''Ding, It doesn''t matter much for the host because I think he must have already gotten a rough idea of how the Ninth Heavenly Realm would be and how tough it is to ascend to the higher realm. ''Oh. So, it is like that.'' Ajax was once again surprised to read the series of system notifications; however, from the information he had about the Heavenly Realm, the information disyed by the system was matched. ''It looks like life in the Heavenly Realms would be much more difficult than I expected.'' After reading all the system notifications, Ajax could not help but mutter in his head. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''But, still, all the cultivators want to ascend to the Heavenly Realm seeking more power and thrill.'' Ajax was also one of them; however, other than that, he had another important mission to do and it was to find his mother. ording to his father, she was teleported to a universe far away from theirs and with the help of a simr but more powerful artifact than the system, his mother would reach the pinnacle in her universe. Since there were many universes in this Earth Realm, going through each of them to find one another would take a long time and also, there would be many unknown dangers waiting for them while moving from one universe to another. So, the fastest and the easiest way for both his mother and them was to ascend to the Heavenly Realm where their chances of reuniting were much higher. ''If Mother''s soul was attached to a more powerful artifact than the system, then she must have already ascended to the Heavenly Realm, right?'' Ajax could not help but think about his mother whom he had never seen after gaining the awareness. "Should I inject more Divine Essence of Nature and activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange once more?" After going through all the information about the Heavenly Realms, Ajax could not help but nce at the Golden Mirror of Exchange. For others, it might consume arge amount of Essence of Nature to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange; however, for Ajax, it would be a piece of cake to activate it. ''However, the problem was that the Eagle Man from the other side won''t exchange anything valuable before and now, after learning exactly how I killed him, there is no way he could exchange anything with me.'' Ajax revealed a bitter smile on his face and soon, he shook his head. "For now, I will finish things with the two rulers and then decide what to do with the Golden Mirror of Exchange." Since Ajax didn''t feel he would get anything valuable from the Eagle Man, Ajax decided not to waste his energy and time. Instead, he wanted to talk to his two new subordinates and ask for their mediums to get the Divine Grade fruit. ''Swoosh'' With that thought in mind, Ajax came out of the Golden City and saw two beings waiting for him. Chapter 1907 New Contracted Spirit Beasts 1907 New Contracted Spirit Beasts "Rosaline, with the title Ghost Naga Queen, the ex-ruler of the Wind Region of the Floating Ind respectfully greets the Master." "Oberon, also known as the Abyssa Drake Lord, the ex-ruler of the Earth Region of the Floating Ind respectfully greets the Master." As soon as the two beings saw Ajax, they respectfully introduced themselves and politely greeted him. One of them was a woman who looked to be in her mid-thirties and looked exceptionally beautiful. She possesses an otherworldly allure and a single look from her could easily captivate others. As for the other, he was a middle-aged man with ck-coloured dragon shells here and there on his body. Every time he took a breath, he was emitting a thin ck mist. However, such formidable figures were respectfully standing in front of Ajax and even bowed to him while they introduced themselves to Ajax. "I am d you surrendered on your own and saved me from the trouble of issuing the official challenges for the duels again and again." Even though Ajax sounded arrogant with those words, he was stating the facts because travel from one region to another would take quite some time. Moreover, after fighting the ruler of one region, Ajax needs to recuperate for a few days before fighting the next ruler to conquer his/her region. Of course, Ajax could issue an official challenge and even for that, he needs to recuperate for a while before issuing a new challenge. "We are d to have saved the master from going through such troubles." The two ex-rulers heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts before saying that. The main reason why the two ex-rulers hurriedly surrendered to Ajax was because they were worried that Ajax might issue an official challenge to them. In an official challenge, even if the loser was spared by the winner, the Spirit of the Floating Ind would kill him and it was within the rules. Since Ajax was so powerful that he was able to kill Aveline in his own territory and in an official challenge, there was no doubt that Ajax could easily win against them. Thus, they heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Ajax''s words. "Anyway, let''splete thest step in the process of the ''Master-Servant'' rtionship." Even though Ajax had other things he wanted to discuss with his new subordinates, he wanted toplete the main thing first. Once he leaves his Spirit Imprint in their Bestial Consciousness, Ajax can let his guard down and talk through things with them. "Yes, Master." Rosaline and Oberon nodded their heads. Since they had already epted their fate as Ajax''s subordinates, they no longer hesitated about it and readily agreed to it. "So, who wants to go first?" Ajax was satisfied with their response and nodded his head before asking it. "Master, please leave your Spirit Imprint in my Bestial Consciousness first." As soon as Ajax asked, the Ghost Naga Queen was the first one to speak and even walked closer to Ajax. ''...'' Oberon, the Abyssal Drake Lord''s reaction speed was much slower than Rosaline and other than remaining silent, there was nothing he could do about it. As someone who lived for thousands of years, he didn''t feel it was right to fight for such a simple thing in front of their master. Hence, he let Rosaline go first to form the contract with Ajax. ''Swoosh'' Ajax ced his hand on Rosaline and with a single thought, his Divine Spirit Consciousness entered her Bestial Consciousness. ''Hiss~'' Inside the Bestial Consciousness, a huge transparent winged snake was lying and when it saw Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness, it gently hissed. "Master, please leave your Spirit Imprint on me." The huge transparent winged snake gently asked Ajax to mark the Spirit Imprint on her. "Okay." Ajax was not shocked to see the huge transparent winged snake because it was the Bestial Consciousness Form of the Ghost Naga Queen. Without wasting any time, Ajax released a few units of the Divine Essence of Nature thattched onto the transparent snake''s head. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with a powerful contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, You can check the information on the spirit beast once you leave her Bestial Spirit Consciousness. As soon as he finished marking the Spirit Imprint on the Ghost Naga Queen''s bestial consciousness, the system notifications appeared, congratting him. ''Even though the system went back to its upgrade, the default system notifications won''t stoping.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax silently muttered to himself and continued, ''Anyway, it is good to have these default system notifications which confirm whether I left my Spirint Imprint correctly or not.'' ''Now, it''s time to form the second contract.'' With a single thought, Ajax excited the Ghost Naga Queen''s Bestial Consciousness and entered the Abyssal Drake Lord''s Bestial Consciousness. As for the information about the Ghost Nage Queen, Ajax decided to check it once hepleted the contracting process with the Abyssal Drake Lord. ''Swoosh'' ''This is his Bestial Consciousness Form?'' The moment Ajax entered the Abyssal Drake Lord''s Bestial Consciousness, he saw his Bestial Consciousness Form and was shocked. It was because the Abyssal Drake Lord''s Bestial Consciousness Form was a small ck-coloured dragonling. ''Why is it so small?'' Looking at the fist-sized dragonling in front of him, Ajax could not help but wonder about it. From its title and the human form of the Abyssal Drake Lord, Ajax had never expected the Bestial Consciousness Form to be so small and cute. "Master, it is because of a special cultivation technique that lets my Bestial Consciousness re-cultivate again and again." Looking at the surprised look on Ajax''s face, the cute Bestial Consciousness Form exined the reason behind its current look. "Currently, my Bestial Consciousness Form is in its infant stage and as I cultivate, it will change." Oberon thought about it for a moment and added, "Currently, it is my 9th time re-cultivating my Bestial Consciousness Form and once Iplete my re-cultivation 10 times, the awakening of my Divine Bestial Rules will increase by at least 5 percent."

Hearing the cute baby dragon''s words in the Bestial Consciousness, Ajax was momentarily surprised. Re-cultivation for the Spirit Beasts was amon process to transform into a human or humanoid version of their race. However, Re-cultivation of the Bestial Consciousness and that is repeating the re-cultivation process again and again was something that Ajax had never heard of. "Are you sure that the awakening percentage of your Bestial Divine Rules will increase by 5 percent afterpleting your re-cultivation of the Bestial Spirit Consciousness 10 times? Also, what other benefits do you get for thepletion of each re-cultivation?" Nevertheless, Ajax came to his surprise and asked Oberon about the benefits of re-cultivating 10 times. Regr Re-cultivation for the Spirit Beasts gives many unimaginable benefits; however, Ajax was curious about what type of benefits he would get for each re-cultivation. "Also, what is the name of that special cultivation technique and where did you get it? Does your ancestor from the Heavenly Bestial Realm give it?" Of course, not all Spirit Beasts could re-cultivate unlimited times and the only reason why Oberon was able to do it was because of his special cultivation technique. So, Ajax asked about the special cultivation technique too; however, he could guess from where he got that cultivation technique. "It is called [Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique] and I found it in the Floating Ind through which I was slowly and steadily able to be the Ruler for one of the regions in the Floating Ind." The Abyssal Drake Lord exined about the Special Cultivation Technique as he continued, "I am not sure from where it came from; however, after experiencing its benefits, I can tell one thing for sure¡­it is definitely from the Heavenly Bestial Realm." "When I started cultivating this Special Cultivation Technique, my cultivation speed increased by multiple folds; however, once I broke through to the Emperor Realm, I learned that this cultivation technique will let me re-cultivate again and again." "For the first sessful re-cultivation, one of my Emperor Bestial Souls transformed into a Divine Bestial Rule." "For the second time, its awakening percentage increased by 0.5 per cent." . . . "For the fifth time, I directly awakened a new Divine Bestial Rule." "From sixth sessful re-cultivation to eight, both my Divine Bestials Rules increased by 2.5 percent each." "ording to the knowledge I received from the Special Cultivation Technique, it said that the awakening percentage for the Divine Bestial Rules will be increased doubled and increase by 5 percent each." While exining the benefits of the Special Cultivation Technique, Oberon could not help but be excited. As for Ajax coveting his Special Cultivation Technique, the Abyssal Drake Lord was not worried about it. If Ajax wants it, he would be d to share it. Since he had already acknowledged Ajax as his master, the more powerful Ajax became, the greater the things would be for him, his subordinate. But the problem was, that Special Cultivation Technique was only for the Spirit Beasts and even for them, there were a lot of restrictions, making it very difficult for Oberon to share this special cultivation technique among his trusted subordinates. "Huh? Really?" Hearing Oberon''s words, Ajax was shocked again and again and liked the cultivation technique which increases the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. For a Spirit Beast with a single Divine Bestial Rule, it might not be effective to re-cultivate again and again; however, for the Spirit Beasts with multiple Divine Bestial Rules, it would be apletely different story. What''s more, there was a chance for the Spirit Beast to awaken New Bestial Divine Rules and the awakening percentage for all their Divine Bestial Rules would increase by one or two awakening percentage and the more number of times they re-cultivate, the higher the awakening percentage for their Divine Bestial Rules would be. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om As someone who had a small Beast Army in the inner world and a huge Beast army in Prophis'' Spatial World, Ajax felt he could make use of that special cultivation technique. "As for my Ancestors in the Heavenly Bestial Realm¡­I have no one and the only reason why I can be the ruler is because of the Special Cultivation Technique. Other than that, no one helped me." The Abyssal Drake Lord was a little proud to say that he had be the ruler without the help of others. "Really?" Ajax was once again shocked as he hurriedly asked, "Then what about the medium to the Heavenly Bestial Realm? You don''t have it?" One of the reasons why Ajax was excited to meet his new subordinates was to talk about the mediums that let onemunicate and even exchange things between the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm in their regions. So, he was shocked to hear that Oberon didn''t have any ancestors in the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Nope. I don''t have any medium whatsoever." Oberon shook his head, making Ajax a little disappointed. "Let''splete the contract process and discuss more things about the Special Cultivation Technique after that." Nevertheless, Ajax focused on the current things he had to do. Soon, he left his Spirit Imprint on the cute baby dragon and received the system notifications. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully forming a contract with a powerful contracted spirit beast. ''Ding, You can check the information on the spirit beast once you leave her Bestial Spirit Consciousness. ''Return'' After getting the confirmation from the system, Ajax left the Abyssal Drake Lord''s bestial consciousness with a single thought. "Rosaline, do you have the medium to contact with anyone from the Heavenly Bestial Realm? Like your ancestors or any other senior beasts?" As soon as he came out of the Bestial Consciousness, Ajax didn''t check the information on his new Contracted Spirit Beasts. Instead, he asked the Ghost Naga Queen regarding the medium that helps one to exchange things with the ascended spirit beasts from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "I don''t have such powerful artifacts, master." Even Rosalin said she didn''t have, making Ajax bitterly smile as he muttered, ''There is nothing I can do about it. For now, let''s check the information on them.'' Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation! Creation is hard, cheer me up!

Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1909 Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique (2) Chapter 1909 Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique (2) Even though Ajax was a little disappointed that his two new subordinates didn''t have any powerful ancestors in the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he was satisfied with how powerful they were. As long as he used his [Ayssal Beast God''s Bloodline], their battle prowess would further increase and make them almost invincible in the universe. Of course, Ajax didn''t have a clear idea of the true powerhouses in the universe; however, as far as he knew, he believed that his subordinates could be on par with them. With that thought in mind, Ajax decided to check the information on his two new subordinates. ''Ding, Spirit Beast Name: Ghost Naga Queen (Rosaline). Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm. Divine Rules: Divine Wind Rule (20 percent), Divine Ghost Rule (25 percent). Skills: Ghost Poison, Naga''s Whisper,..... Bloodline: Heavenly Naga Queen''s Bloodline. ''Ding, Spirit Beast Name: Abyssal Drake Lord (Oberon). Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm. Divine Rules: Divine Earth Rule (20 percent), Divine Dark Rule (20 percent), Divine Dragon Rule (10 percent). Skills: Dragon Roar, Abyssal st, Abyssal Earthquake¡­.. Bloodline: Abyssal Dragon God''s Bloodline. Since they have be Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts, the system lets him view the information on his two spirit beasts. ''Two Divine Rules and Three Divine Rules respectively.'' Ajax was not surprised by the number of Divine Rules awakened by his two newly contracted spirit beasts. As for bloodlines, it was even less surprising for Ajax because once a Spirit Beast Reaches the Emperor Realm, they would definitely awaken a powerful bloodline and if they already awakened a bloodline, it would be upgraded to a powerful bloodline. "Among the Divine Rules, for now, I can only help Oberon with the Divine Dark Rules." Currently, Aeon has lots of Giant Dark Crystals with which Obseron could increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Dark Rule. "Oberon, you can use these Giant Dark Crystals to increase the awakening percentage of your Divine Dark Rule." At first, Ajax thought to wait and observe Oberon for a while before giving him the Giant Dark Crystals; however, he decided to give them to him now as he wanted to take something from him. "Giant Dark Crystals that could increase the awakening percentage of the Divine Dark Rule? I have heard about them." Oberon was pleasantly surprised as he observed the crystals in his hands carefully and hurriedly thanked Ajax. "Master, here." At the same time, he went close to Ajax and transferred the information regarding the Special Cultivation Technique to Ajax. ''Swoosh'' It only took Oberon a brief moment to transfer the knowledge before saying, "I hope, master can find a Spirit Beast who could cultivate this Special Cultivation Technique." Oberon really wanted to know more about the Special Cultivation Technique and the easiest way to do that was by letting more Spirit Beasts cultivate it. However, he failed to find anyone who could cultivate it; however, Oberon sincerely hoped Ajax would find someone. ''Ding, Detected the knowledge about some Special Cultivation Technique in the host''s head. On the other hand, Ajax received a system notification the moment Oberon finished transferring the information about the Special Cultivation Technique. ''Ding, Cultivation Technique Name: Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Grade: Quasi-God. (When ascended to the Heavenly Realm, it will automatically be a God-Grade Technique). Effect: Upon cultivating, it increases the cultivation speed of the spirit beast by 100 times. Special Effect: It helps the Spirit Beast re-cultivate its bestial consciousness again and again. Upon sessful re-cultivation of the bestial consciousness, the Spirit Beast will gain interesting rewards. Note: It can only be used by the spirit beasts chosen by the Special Cultivation Technique. Soon, the full information about the Special Cultivation Technique appeared in front of Ajax. ''It looks like Oberon was right. This Special Cultivation Technique chooses who cultivates it.'' After reading everything about the cultivation technique, Ajax nodded his head and looked at Oberon, "Once you use all these Giant Dark Crystals, you can ask for more." Ajax wanted to finish all the Giant Dark Crystals in his inventory because he was sure he would get more of them. Among all the Giant Elemental Crystals, the Giant Dark Crystals are abundant and Ajax was confident in getting tons of them once he started his Dark Region invasion. So, he was being generous to his newly contracted spirit beast. "Thank you, Master." Oberon felt that he had made the right decision by forming the contract with the human in front of him. Hence, he could not help but thank Ajax again and again because he could increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Dark Rule much faster now. "As for you, currently, I don''t have anything useful for you to use; however, don''t worry, I will make sure you have made the right decision by forming a contract with me." Looking at the Ghost Naga Queen, Ajax informed her. "It''s alright, master." Rosaline replied with a smile and showed no interest in gifts from Ajax. "You two, continue to take care of the regions you are ruling as usual." Soon, Ajax gave them the orders, before realizing something and asked, "By the way, do you want toe with me when I invade the Water Region of the Floating Ind?" Currently, the Water Region is the only region in the Floating Ind that was left for Ajax to conquer. Ajax nned to conquer it in a few days and when he did, he asked whether they wanted to be a part of it. With his current strength, Ajax was already confident in defeating the ruler of the Water Region; however, as the ex-rulers, he believed that they wanted to join the expedition to kill the ruler of the Water Region. "I would like to join it." "That b*stard Maximus has killed many of my subordinates. So, of course, I want to be a part of the expedition to kill him." Both the contracted spirit beasts were excited to join Ajax in invading the Water Region. "I will call you when I n to invade." Ajax nodded his head with a smile and sent them away before muttering,'' It''s finally time to check the cultivation resources umted by Aveline¡­my spoils of war.'' Chapter 1910 Floating Islands Rewards Chapter 1910 Floating Ind''s Rewards The main reason why fights between the cultivators and the spirit beasts was because of the cultivation resources. Even the rulers of the Floating Ind fight one another and try their best to invade the other regions because of the cultivation resources avable in those regions. Moreover, ording to the Spirit of the Floating Ind, the ruler will receive rewards from the Floating Ind depending on the number of regions they own. Aveline was one of the powerful cultivators in the Floating Ind for a very long time and he even had ess to the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Hence, Ajax was sure that Aveline must have umted lots of cultivation resources. Other than the rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind, Ajax was curious about Aveline''s treasures. [I was waiting for the ruler to ask about the rewards and the spoils of war from his earlier fight with Aveline] ''Swoosh'' As soon as he thought about the Spoils of Wars and the Rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind, a light orb magically appeared in front of Ajax and said these words. [Do you want to give up the spoils of war and double your rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind?] Before Ajax could say anything, the light orb asked him something that made him frown. [Since you have sessfully invaded the Fire Region by killing Aveline, you are entitled to a reward] [At the same time, whatever the treasures and artifacts that Aveline was hiding, they all belong to you as long as you find them and as for who knows exactly where he hid them all] [However, the ruler can give up on those items which might be good or not so good and definitely get a better reward from the Spirit of the Floating Ind] [What do you say? Do you want to give up and double your rewards?] The Light Orb exined to Ajax in detail how it works, making him understand. ''Should I give up on Aveline''s treasures?'' Even though Ajax was excited about Aveline''s treasures, when he thought about how Aveline nurtured his special army of 3000 men, he was worried there might not be many valuable things left for him. ording to the Spirit of the Floating Ind, Aveline''s treasures were hidden in different ces which would take quite a lot of time in searching for them. ''Moreover, earlier, when I entered the Golden City, the System paused its upgrade and informed me about the Golden Mirror of Exchange. From the looks of it, there were no other artifacts of Quasi-Divine Grade Items in the Golden City.'' Ajax didn''t make any decision as he started thinking carefully about it. "Can I know more about how your reward system works?" Even after thinking for a moment, Ajax didn''t conclude; instead, he asked the Light Orb regarding the reward system. [Sure] The Light Orb seemed more than happy to exin its rewards to Ajax. [Upon sessfully invasion of another region, a ruler will be given a list of 10 items in which there were at least two Quasi-Divine Grade items or artifacts and the remaining eight are Special Mythical Grade items] "What?" The first thing already shocked Ajax a little; however, when he thought about the mysterious origins of the Floating Ind and how fast time moves in it, he was not surprised. [Sorry to interrupt your thoughts but you can get to choose only one item from that list of 10 times] For a moment, the Light Orb felt that the other party might have misunderstood its words and hurriedly rified about it. "Of course, I know." However, Ajax was not that dumb to believe that he would get all those items for himself. [Good. I have to make sure there are no misunderstandings rted to the rewards] The Light Orb exined it before asking Ajax once again, [So, do you want to give up on Aveline''s treasures and double your rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind?] "So, I can choose two items from that list of ten items?" Ajax was careful because, from his understanding of the Spirit of the Floating Ind, it would do things on a whim. Earlier, he carelessly said that he didn''t need any new subordinates and in the next second wiped everyone from the Fire Region. Ajax didn''t want a simr thing to happen again and was careful this time. [Yes] The Light Orb confirmed it, making Ajax nod his head before saying, "I will double the rewards." Since there were two Quasi-Divine Items in the list of ten items, Ajax decided to go with it and select them. As for Aveline''s secret treasures, he gave up on them once he learned about the Quasi-Divine items on the list. Compared to the Quasi-Divine Items, Ajax didn''t think too much about the mythical grade items in Aveline''s secret treasures. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om [The item list is being created. Please wait for a while] Once he confirmed his decision, the Light Orb rapidly spun and asked Ajax to wait until the list was created. "Sure." Ajax nodded his head and started asking the Light Orb some questions he had in his mind. "Why didn''t I receive any rewards when I defeated the rulers of the Metal Region and took over it?" [The reward for conquering the first region in the Floating Ind was the rulership and the information about the other rulers in the Floating Ind] "Oh." Ajax nodded his head and asked another question, "I have conquered the Wind and Earth Regions of the Floating Ind now. What about the rewards for that?" [The rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind will be given only when the ruler either officially or unofficially defeats the ruler of another region] [Currently, the rulers of the Wind and Earth Regions of the Floating Ind surrender themselves to you and their regions be yours and whatever the treasures they hid and the armies they nurtured will be yours] [So, there won''t be any additional rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind] [However, if the ruler wants the rewards, he could give up on all of it to get the rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind] ''What?'' Chapter 1911 Floating Islands Rewards (2) Chapter 1911 Floating Ind''s Rewards (2) ''What?'' Hearing the Light Orb''s exnation of how the reward system of the Floating Ind works, Ajax raised his brows. ''Nevermind. I don''t want to give up on two extremely strong contracted spirit beasts.'' However, there was no need for Ajax to think much about whether to give up his newly contracted spirit beasts. For him, the two newly contracted spirit beasts were quite useful for his uing adventures and explorations. Also, after gaining information about the Heavenly Realms, Ajax felt that it was not a bad thing to have some contracted spirit beasts whose chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm were almost guaranteed. Even though he lost two double rewards from the Floating Ind by epting Oberon and Rosaline''s surrender and still had the chance to give up on them, Ajax was not sad about it. "Anyway, how long will it take for you to show me the list of items?" Putting aside his thoughts, Ajax asked the Light Orb about his waiting time for the rewards. [The list of the Floating Ind''s rewards is here] The Light Orb replied and in the next second, words made up of green mist appeared in front of Ajax. ¡­ 1) Celestial Orb of Exchange, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: Upon activating it, the owner of the Orb could connect with a random cultivator from the Heavenly Realm with whom he could exchange the items. 2) Heavenly nt Essence, Special Mythical Grade Item: A cultivation resource that rarely appears in the Earth Realm. Because of that, even though its effects make it a Mythical Grade Item, it became a Special Mythical Grade Item. Effect: When consumed by the special trees, their age will be directly increased by 10000 years regardless of whether it was from 0-10000 or 90000-100000 years. 3) Celestial Elixir of Rebirth, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: A cultivation resource that can help a soul orb instantly turn into a soul and help it create a new Celestial Extraordinary Body. Effect: Soul Orb can skip the regr procedure of creating a new body and directly gain a new Celestial Extraordinary Body. 4) Evesting Vitality Pill, Special Mythical Grade Item: A failed product from the Heavenly Realm; however, it was still an extraordinary item for the cultivators from the Earth Realm. Effect: Increases the lifespan of a cultivator by 10000 years. 5) Fake Heavenly Hammer, Special Mythical Grade Item: A special hammer that increases the sess rate of creating Legend Grade Artfiacts by 100 percent and 50 percent for Mythical Grade Artifacts. Note: It chooses its owner and one of the requirements for the owner is to be a Sessful Weaponsmith. Note: Also, for Mythical Grade Artifacts, there is a small chance of the appearance of a special effect that could temporarily make them Divine Weapons. 6) Lunar Nectar of Enlightenment, Special Mythical Item: A consumable cultivation resource that helps the Emperor Realm Cultivators to awaken a new Divine Rule. Note: There is a chance that the cultivator might awaken the already awakened Divine Rule. In that case, the awakening percentage of the existing Divine Rule will be increased by a certain percentage depending on its awakening percentage. 7) Aurora Crystal of Absorption, Special Mythical Grade Item: It is an item that can absorb the partial awakening percentage of the Divine Rules of the fallen cultivators which can beter used by the cultivator to increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. Note: The cultivator can only increase the awakening percentage if he has the same Divine Rule as the one that the crystal has absorbed from the fallen cultivator. 8) Heavenly Essence Dew, Special Mythical Grade Item: When consumed by the cultivator, it can increase the cultivation speed of a cultivator by 1000 times for an entire year. 9) Giant Divine Crystal, Special Mythical Grade Item: It can increase the awakening percentage of any Divine Rule by 10 percent and the maximum it can be increased is 20 percent. Note: If a cultivator''s Divine Rule has an awakening percentage of 15 percent, it will only increase by another 5 percent and if the Divine Rule already has a 20 or higher percentage of awakening, then it would be useless to use this crystal. 10) Celestial Lotus Seed, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: A rare item that could be nurtured into a Celestial Lotus Seed that is equallyparable with the special trees like [Tree of Blessing]. Note: It requires lots of cultivation resources to nurture the seed into a tree. ¡­ ''T-these¡­'' Looking at the information about the 10 items in front of him, Ajax was shocked because each one of the items was rare and very useful for the cultivators of the Earth Realm. Even for him, who already has some valuable cultivation resources like World Cores, Giant Elemental Crystals, Bestial Divine Crystals and Special Trees in the Inner World, it made him a little greedy. ''If possible I want to have all of them.'' It was because each item was useful in its own way. "However, why are there three Quasi-Divine items on the list? Didn''t you say there will be only two items with that grade?" Before he can choose the two items he wants, Ajax asks the light orb regarding the three Quasi-Divine Grade Items in the list. ording to the system, there were supposed to be only two Quasi-Divine Items but he saw three of them. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [It looks like the ruler is lucky to get three Quasi-Divine Items in the list. Please choose your items within a minute] [If the Temporary Owner doesn''t select the items within the given item, he will be rewarded with two random items from the list] [The time starts from now] [60] [59] [58] . . . After answering Ajax''s question, the Spirit of the Floating Ind set a time limit for Ajax to select the two items from the list, which waspletely out of Ajax''s expectations. "I know there will be some kind of underhanded trick you will use." However, Ajax recovered from his moment of shock and scoffed at the Spirit of the Floating Ind''s tricks as he continued, "I have already selected what I want." Chapter 1912 Floating Islands Rewards (3) Chapter 1912 Floating Ind''s Rewards (3) In the list, there might be three Quasi-Divine Grade Items along with the other Special Mythical Grade Items that Ajax really wanted for himself. However, he was clear that he could only have two of them. Thus, he controlled his greed and decided on two items that he really needed. "I will pick Celestial Orb of Exchange and Celestial Lotus Seed." Ajax didn''t waste any time and directly said his choice of items which are two Quasi-Divine Grade Items. Since Ajax thought sooner orter, he would get his hands on the Special Mythical Grade Items; however, it would be almost impossible to get a Quasi-Divine Grade Item unless you are as lucky as the Abyssal Drake Lord who found the Quasi-Divine Grade Cultivation Technique. Among the three Quasi-Divine Grade Items, Ajax felt that the ones he chose were very useful for the current him. As for the third item, the Celestial Elixir of Rebirth, even though he could use it to help Snow directly get a new physical body, Ajax steeled his heart not to choose it. Because Ajax had already gathered all the required items except for one item, for the Snow''s Soul Orb to create a new body. So, choosing it would only be a waste of his reward when he could choose something better and thus, he chose something very hard to find in the Earth Realm. Celestial Orb of Exchange. Ajax didn''t know whether he could find a simr item in the Earth Realm; however, he had only one thought in his head and it was, ''I want it.'' As long as he used it, Ajax couldmunicate and exchange things with the ascended cultivators from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. Moreover, ording to the information, it connects with different ascended cultivators, and even if Ajax fails to exchange things with one cultivator, he could use the Celestial Orb of Exchange again to trade with another cultivator. ''If the Golden Mirror of Exchange had this kind of effect, I would have definitely not chosen this item.'' In his current state, Ajax was only interested in the Quasi-Divine Grade or Divine Grade Items from the Heavenly Realm whereas the Mythical and Special Mythical Grade Items, he could find simr items in the Celestial Dawn Realm or the Dark Region of the Universe. As for the Celestial Lotus Seed, since it would be a special tree simr to the Tree of Blessing, Ajax wanted to nt it in his Inner World. That''s right! Ajax wanted to nurture the Celestial Lotus Tree in the Inner World and see what kind of abilities, and fruits it would have. ''The Spirit of the Floating Ind has not provided more information on the Celestial Lotus Tree and the system is also not providing any valuable information on it. So, all I could do was nurture it in the Inner World and figure out what kind of benefits I would receive from it.'' This was the thought in Ajax''s head when he confirmed his choice of items from the list. Even though the remaining items were all Special Mythical Grade if Ajax had a choice, he could have selected some of the items from it. ''With Heavenly nt Essence I could have nurtured one of my Special Trees in the Inner World by 10000 years when they reach 90000 years.'' ''The Fake Heavenly Hammer, I could have given it to his Genius Dwarf Follower which would have helped him be a Mythical Grade Weaponsmith in no time.'' ''Heavenly Essence Dew. I would have used the 1000 times boost in the cultivation speed for an entire year to convert the 100 old men in the Five Elemental World from normal body cultivators to Divine Body Cultivators.'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax thought about the useful items from the list. ''Anyway, since they are only of Special Mythical Grade, I can get my hands on them before I ascend to the Heavenly Realms.'' Ajax was quite confident in his uing journeys and adventures where he could get these items. Thinking about this, Ajax smiled a little. As for the remaining items, they might be precious items in the eyes of many cultivators in the Earth Realm; however, in his eyes, they were almost useless. ''Evesting Vitality Pill.'' Ajax already has quite a huge lifespan and it would only increase with the progress in his Divine Body Cultivator and Divine Spirit Cultivation. So, it was quite a useless item for Ajax. ''Lunar Nectar of Enlightenment,'' Ajax had already awakened a good number of Divine Rules and he was confident in awakening more Divine Rules. So, there was no need for another Divine Rule. ''Aurora Crystal of Absorption'' Thanks to the system, Ajax could get the Bestial Divine Stones from the Spirit Beasts killed by him and his followers. Even though he can''t get the Divine Stones from the human cultivators, Ajax is satisfied with it. Compared to this, the Aurora Crystal of Absorption was useless as its rate of transmitting the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules is quite low. [The Ruler has selected his rewards] [Please wait for a few moments. The rewards will be given soon] Ajax came out of his thoughts with the Spirit of the Floating Ind''s words. "Fine." Ajax nodded his head as he patiently waited for the rewards while thinking about his next mission. Since he had sessfully conquered four regions of the Floating Ind, he was left with only one region and it was the water region. ''The Ruler of the Water Region is doing a good thing by not surrendering himself to me.'' When Ajax thought about the Veiled Vampire Emperor, he could not help but be a little excited. It was because once he took care of the Veiled Vampire Emperor, Ajax would be given another chance to pick two items from a new list of 10 items. Hence, he could not wait to do that. ''However, I will just be patient for a while.'' Nevertheless, Ajax controlled himself and decided to wait for a while before invading the Water Region. [Ruler, the rewards have arrived] Chapter 1913 Celestial Lotus Tree Chapter 1913 Celestial Lotus Tree [Ruler, the rewards have arrived] ''Swoosh'' As soon as the Light Orb finished its words, a fist-sized white orb and a marble-sized white seed appeared in front of him before falling into his hands. [Ruler, if you need me for anything, just think about me and I will be at your service] After giving him the rewards, the Light Orb didn''t stay with Ajax anymore as it disappeared into the thin air. ''Let''s not waste any time and check their information before using them.'' As for Ajax, he didn''t even bother to reply to the Light Orb because he was excited about the two items in his hand. Without wasting any time, Ajax directly checked the information on them. Even though Ajax had got the rough information about the items in his hands from the Spirit of the Floating Ind, he wanted to get a piece of thorough information about them. Thus, he checked them through the system''s eyes to figure out how he could use them and whether there were any hidden effects he could use. ''Ding, Item Name: Celestial Orb of Exchange. Grade: Quasi-Divine Grade. Effect: Upon pouring a certain amount of Essence of Nature into the Orb, it will be activated and connect the owner of the Orb with the other owner of another simr orb in the Heavenly Realms. Note: It can only be used once a year in the Earth Realm''s time and not the Floating Ind''s time. ''So, there is a cooldown for the exchange.'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment when he read the note under the information of the Celestial Orb of Exchange. Even though Ajax didn''t like the Golden Mirror of Exchange, there was something he liked about it. For it, there was no time limit for the exchange with it and as long as the owner of the Golden Mirror of Exchange provided enough Essence of Nature, he could activate it to trade with the only selected ascended cultivator. ''It''s alright!'' Nevertheless, when he thought about it, Ajax felt the Celestial Orb of Exchange was much better than the Golden Mirror of Exchange because he could at least have a sessful exchange with an Ascended Cultivator once a year. ''Moreover, I only need a Divine Grade consumable fruit and for the other things, I can wait.'' Ajax''s cultivation was stuck at the low-level Emperor Realm Cultivation for a while now. Even though he could increase his cultivation with ease, Ajax wanted to convert it into the Divine Spirit Cultivation just like his Body Cultivation. So, other than waiting for thest requirement which is a Divine Grade Fruit, there was nothing he could do about it and Ajax believed that with one sessful exchange, he could get his hands on the Divine Grade Fruit. ''Anyway, before I use it, let''s check the information on this seed.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax put his thoughts on the Celestial Orb of Exchange aside and focused on the Celestial Lotus Seed. ''Ding, Item Name: Celestial Lotus Seed. Grade: Quasi-Divine Grade. Use: By providing sufficient cultivation resources, it can be nurtured into a special tree [Celestial Lotus Tree]. More Information: A Celestial Lotus Seed bears Quasi-Divine Grade Fruits and will awaken abilities of Quasi-Divine Grade. Even though the information about the Celestial Lotus Seed was vague, there was one thing that piqued Ajax''s interest and it was ''More Information''. ''So, I can have Quasi-Divine Grade fruits from now on.'' After reading it, Ajax became excited because, in the Earth Realm, Quasi-Divine Grade Fruits are the pinnacle grade fruits and are considered invaluable. As for the Tree Abilities, Ajax was even more excited about them because all the abilities of his Special Trees were quite useful and ording to the system, the Celestial Lotus Tree''s abilities are all Quasi-Divie Grade. So, how could he not get excited about it? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''First, let''s sow the Celestial Lotus Seed in the Inner World and nurture it.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly entered the Inner World and found a nice spot for it before sowing it. ''Let''s pour the 10000 drops of the nt Essence I saved aside earlier.'' Previously, Ajax put aside 10000 drops of the nt Essence for emergency cases and now, it has be useful like this. ''Swoosh'' Without hesitation, Ajax poured the entire 10000 drops of the nt Essence on the spot he sowed the Celestial Lotus Seed earlier. ''Kacha'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, a white-coloured sprout came out of the ground and it slowly started growing. The rate at which it grew was much slowerpared to the special trees he nurtured previously. However, it was within Ajax''s expectations as he hoped that the Celestial Lotus Tree would either awaken a Tree Ability or a Fruit. ''Ding, The host has poured 10000 drops of nt Essence on the Celestial Lotus Seed and sessfully sprouted it and nurtured it for ten years. ''Ding, The Celestial Lotus Tree needs to be at least 100 years old to awaken its first Tree Ability and first fruit. Looking at the one-meter nt in front of him, Ajax bitterly smiled as he already expected it would be quite hard to nurture it. Compared to the Tree of Blessing, the Celestial Lotus Tree was a grade higher and it was naturally harder to nurture. ''It looks like I have to wait until I receive the order from the Special Notice Service in the Trader''s Realm.'' Ajax was looking forward to exiting the Floating Ind and entering the Trader''s Realm to take the huge order he had ced with the Special Notice Survey. ''Once I sessfully take over the entire Floating Ind, I will exit it.'' When Ajax entered, he was only required to stay for the week ording to the Earth Realm''s time; however, he was no longer a regr cultivator who entered the Floating Ind seeking the treasures hidden there or to make use of the time difference between the Floating Ind and the Earth Realm. ''Anyway, let''s get out of the Inner World and use the Celestial Orb of Exchange.'' Putting aside his thoughts, Ajax excitedly left the Inner World and was ready to use it. Chapter 1914 Using Celestial Orb of Exchange Chapter 1914 Using Celestial Orb of Exchange The Celestial Lotus Tree, it required 1000 drops of nt Essence to grow by one year and with 10000 drops of nt Essence it only grew by 10 years. However, Ajax didn''t feel much pressure about it because he knew the more cultivation resources a Special Tree takes to grow, the more valuable the fruits it bears and the abilities it awakens. Also, he knew better that staying in the Inner World with the Celestial Lotus Tree wouldn''t speed up its growth. So, with a thought, he left the Inner World and was ready to use the Celestial Orb of Exchange. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, The host has used one unit of Divine Essence of Nature and activated the Celestial Orb of Exchange. Unlike the Golden Mirror of Exchange, the Celestial Orb of Exchange was activated with just one unit of Divine Essence of Nature, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, a projection mirror was created by the white orb in Ajax''s hand and soon, a middle-aged human in white robes appeared in that projection mirror. "Young Cultivator, what do you want from the Heavenly Realm? And what can you give me in return?" The middle-aged man didn''t waste time with introductions as he directly asked Ajax about their exchange. "I want any Divine Grade Consumable Fruit." Since the other party hase straight to the point, he also directly said what he wanted and continued, "However, I don''t know what can pique the Ascended Cultivator''s interest." Even though Ajax has some unique cultivation resources that no cultivator in the Earth Realm would rarely have, he doesn''t brag about them. Because, in front of the Ascended Cultivator, those cultivation resources are useless and Ajax didn''t want to embarrass himself. "I don''t think you have anything that I want." The middle-aged cultivator shook his head with a smile as he continued, "However, I have a mission for you. As long as youplete it, I will give you three Divine Fruits." "A mission? And the reward is three Divine Fruits?" Ajax was shocked when he heard the middle-aged man''s words and became a little excited. "I will tell you whether I will ept the mission only after I hear more details about it." Even though the rewards were quite tempting for Ajax, he controlled his greed and replied to the middle-aged cultivator. "Haha¡­you have qualified to receive that mission." Hearing Ajax''s reply, the ascended cultivator chuckled and nodded his head in amusement before saying, "If you had epted the mission right away, I would have ended the spiritual link created by our artifacts." "Hm" Ajax remained calm and nodded his head while waiting for the information about the Ascended Cultivator''s mission. "You know about the Celestial Dawn Sect, right?" The ascended cultivator didn''t waste any time as he stated Ajax''s mission, "Kill its sect leader and I will give you what I just promised." "Killing the Celestial Dawn Sect''s Sect Leader?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax raised his brows when he heard the mission. The Celestial Dawn Sect is one of the top five sects in the Universe and it was even opening the Celestial Dawn Realm. As far as Ajax knows, the ancestors of the Celestial Dawn Sect have sessfully ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm and they were even looking after the sect. It was the only reason why the Celestial Dawn Sect was able to be a top 5 sect and even maintain its ranking. Even though Ajax didn''t mind killing someone, he wanted to do it in his own thoughts but not if someone ordered him. Of course, it was the system mission Ajax wouldn''t reject; however, listening to the Ascended Cultivator and killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect, Ajax didn''t feel like doing it. ''Even though I might be going against the top five sects of the universe, it doesn''t mean I will actively go around killing people.'' This was the thought in his mind as he directly rejected the Ascended Cultivator''s words. "I will give you 10 Divine Grade Fruits. What do you say?" The Ascended cultivator seemed to expect Ajax to reject his mission and increase the reward forpleting the mission. "10 Divine Grade Fruits?" Ajax waspletely caught off guard when he heard such a delicious reward. "Of course, if you are not confident in killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect, I will just find someone else." The Ascended Cultivator''s words seemed like he was not lying, making Ajax a little hesitant. Ajax was not offended by the Ascended Cultivator''sst words because he knew what he was capable of and didn''t have to prove it to someone else. However, the problem was Ajax''s weakness in the rewards. From the moment he started his cultivation journey, Ajax only had one weakness and it was the rewards. Even if a mission was dangerous and that might cost him his life, Ajax would give it a try. But, now, Ajax was confident in killing the Celestial Dawn Sect''s sect leader with his current strength and the reward was quite huge. So, after suppressing his weakness for a while, Ajax finally gave in and replied to the Ascended Cultivator, "I ept your mission." ''All the sect leaders of the top five sects were not righteous and would do anything and would go to any extent to get benefits.'' ''Also, if there is a new sect that is bing stronger, these sects work together and destroy them.'' . . . Ajax silently remembered all the things about the top five sects of the universe and felt that killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect would only do good to the universe. Of course, it was just Ajax giving himself the reasons for the mission he was going to do. "Good." The ascended cultivator nodded his head as he said, "How much time do you need?" "One month¡­no two months." Even though Ajax was confident inpleting the mission in a month, he increased it to two months for the safe side. "Okay. The moment you kill the Celestial Dawn Sect''s Sect Leader, the Celestial Orb of Exchange will give you the reward of 10 Divine Grade Consumable Fruits." ''Swoosh'' As soon as he finished his words, the white orb stopped projecting and the exchange came to an end. Chapter 1915 Strict Exchange Chapter 1915 Strict Exchange The Ascended Cultivator from the Heavenly Realm didn''t say anything before his projection was cut off by the Celestial Orb of Exchange. ''...'' As for Ajax, he was speechless because he still had some doubts and questions left regarding their exchange. First, how will they contact each other again? ording to the system''s information about the Celestial Orb of Exchange, it contacts him with a random cultivator from the Heavenly Realm. So, as far as Ajax guessed, he could not meet this Ascended Cultivator from earlier and how could he get the rewards from him? Second, how will the Ascended Cultivator know that Ajax has killed the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect? ''Swoosh'' While Ajax was deciding whether he shouldplete the mission given by the Ascended Cultivator or not, the Celestial Orb of Exchange in his hands shone brightly for a moment before spoke in a monotonous voice. [10 Consumable Divine Grade Fruits have been stored in the Celestial Orb of Exchange] ''What? You can speak?'' Ajax was shocked when he heard a voiceing from the Celestial Orb of Exchange; however, when he understood its meaning, he was pleasantly surprised. Nevertheless, before he could answer anything to the Celestial Orb of Exchange, it spoke again in its monotonous voice. [Once the owner finishes the mission of killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect within two months, the owner can ess the rewards stored inside the Celestial Orb of Exchange] [Failling to kill the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect within the given time limit will send the stored rewards back to the sponsor] [In short, the Celestial Orb of Exchange is a middle person between the Owner and the cultivator from the Heavenly Realm] ''Oh. So, you will be the middle person.'' Soon, Ajax''s doubts were cleared with the exnation from the Celestial Orb of Exchange and at the same time, he asked, "Since I am the¡­" [Just because you are the owner, that doesn''t mean the Celestial Orb of Exchange would tweak the rules in your face] [The Celestial Orb of Exchange has always been fair to all the cultivators who own] As though the Celestial Orb of Exchange knew what Ajax was about to ask, it interrupted his words and spoke another two lines without any emotion. ''...'' Ajax shook his head and decided toplete the mission. Ajax was not nning to take the rewards from the Celestial Orb of Exchange and skip the mission, it was just that, he believed he would be stronger by taking one of the 10 Divine Grade Consumable fruits stored in the Celestial Orb of Exchange. ''I only thought of taking one Divine Grade Consumable Fruit as an advance payment for the mission.'' Ajax only needed one Divine Grade Consumable Fruit to convert his regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation and since he was the owner of the Celestial Orb of Exchange, he thought to make adjustments to his earlier trade. Nevertheless, he didn''t expect the Celestial Orb of Exchange to be cold and stop him from evenpleting his sentence. ''Nevermind, I canplete the mission and take those 10 Divine Grade Consumable Fruits.'' Ajax stopped thinking much about it and decided to take the fruits afterpleting the mission. ''In a few days (In Earth Realm''s time), I will be entering the Celestial Dawn Realm and once Ie out of it, I willplete the mission.'' Even though Ajax really needed the Divine Grade Consumable Fruit to convert his Spirit Cultivation, he had other things toplete first in the Floating Ind and it was to conquer the final region, the Water Region of the Floating Ind. After that, he nned to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm and explore it while looking for some cultivation resources in it. So, killing the one who is opening the Celestial Dawn Realm before it was opened might affect its opening which Ajax didn''t want to happen. Moreover, if he was lucky enough to get his hands on a consumable Divine Grade Fruit inside the Celestial Dawn Realm, killing the Sect Leader would be even easier. So, there was nothing for Ajax to think about when he decided the time to kill the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect. ''The Celestial Orb of Exchange is good.'' After seeing that his exchange with the Ascended Cultivator went through smoothly, Ajax could not help but praise the artifact. Ajax didn''t think that his exchange would possibly go well because he didn''t know whether he could offer something that would pique the ascended cultivator''s interest. However, who would have thought that the other party would be generous enough to give a simple mission with a generous reward? Of course, the exchange between Ajax and that Ascended Cultivator was yet to bepleted; however, Ajax was confident in killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect and getting the rewards stored in the Celestial Orb of Exchange. So, of course, Ajax was happy and could not help but praise the Celestial Orb of Exchange. ''It looks like all the artifacts rted to exchanging things between the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm follow strict rules.'' Unconsciously, Ajax''s eyes fell on the Golden Mirror of Exchange as he thought of something. ''Even though the Eagle Man from the Heavenly Bestial Realm didn''t like me, I think I can still try to exchange something with him.'' After his sessful exchange with an ascended cultivator, Ajax wanted to have one more and the only possible way for him to do that was the Golden Mirror of Exchange. However, since the other end of the Golden Mirror of Exchange was connected to the Eagle Man from the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Ajax''s chances of a sessful exchange are less. Nevertheless, Ajax decided to give it a try using the reverse strategy. ''Swoosh'' Once he decided, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly poured one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature and connected to the Eagle Man through the Golden Mirror of Exchange.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chapter 1916 Second Exchange with the Eagle Man Chapter 1916 Second Exchange with the Eagle Man For Aveline, it might take some time to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange; however, for Ajax, it was only one-tenth of his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. Of course, it would take time to refill it; Ajax has cultivation speed boosts from various sources that would help him recover his used Divine Essence of Nature. ''Swoosh'' Without any surprise, the Golden Mirror of Exchange brightly shone like before and connected to the Eagle Man from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. "Y-you¡­why did you activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again?" The Eagle Man was surprised to see Ajax activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again; however, he controlled his emotions and asked why he activated it again. "Why else does a cultivator activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange? Of course, to exchange things." Ajax replied with a smile, making the Eagle Man furious. ''Also, how the hell did he recover so soon from the information I shared about the Heavenly Realm?'' Even though the Eagle Man had already seen Ajax recover from the pain in their first exchange, he thought Ajax was only faking it. However, after seeing Ajax smile and even speak normally, he was shocked and furious at the same time. Since he could not do anything to Ajax through the Golden Mirror of Exchange, the Eagle Man at least wanted to make sure Ajax suffered some pain for the next 10 years. However, seeing Ajax smile while his descendant was dead, the Eagle Man got furious and shouted through the Golden Mirror of Exchange, "Didn''t I already make it clear that I won''t be exchanging things with you." "I know I know." Ajax nodded his head as he continued, "I even remember that you will hunt me down when I ascend to the Heavenly Realm." "Then, why the hell are you wasting my time by activating the Golden Mirror of Exchange?" The Eagle Man seemed to be impatient as he said to Ajax, "Don''t bother activating the Golden Mirror of Exchange again." As soon as he said those words, the Eagle Man''s reflection in the Golden Mirror of Exchange disappeared. "What?" It was Ajax''s turn to get shocked at the Eagle Man''s actions. ''Is there such an option to turn off the Golden Mirror of Exchange in the middle?'' Ajax was not expecting this as he was nning to discuss some things with the Eagle Man to exchange things with him. However, the other party was not being cooperative at all. "Do you think I will leave you just because you didn''t want to exchange things with me?" Even though Ajax''s n failed even before he executed it, he thought of another n after listening to the Eagle Man''s words. So, without wasting any time, Ajax directly activated the Golden Mirror of Exchange once again by pouring another million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Swoosh'' The Golden Mirror of Exchange shone brightly again and once again the Eagle Man''s reflection appeared in it. "Y-you¡­why the hell are you disturbing me? Do you think I have nothing to do other than chatting with you?" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om As soon as the Eagle Man''s reflection appeared in the Golden Mirror of Exchange, it started shouting at Ajax. "If you activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again, I will make sure you regret it." ''Swoosh'' Of course, after shouting, the Eagle Man gave Ajax a warning before his reflection from the Golden Mirror of Exchange disappeared. "I still have 7 million units of Divine Essence of Nature left, which means I can activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange another 7 times." Ajax didn''t mind the Eagle Man''s shouting and as for his warning, Ajax cared even less as he took a deep breath and poured the Divine Essence of Nature into the Golden Mirror of Exchange. It repeated another three times before the Eagle Man got frustrated and finally gave in. "Damn it¡­how the hell are you getting such a huge amount of Essence of Nature to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange?" As the other user of the Golden Mirror of Exchange, the Eagle Man knew how much energy the artifact would need just to get started. For someone like him, it was not a big deal; however, for a cultivator from the Earth Realm, it is very difficult to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange back to back on the same day. However, the human cultivator that wants to exchange things with him, had activated the Golden Mirror of Exchange eight times and what''s more, it was back to back, making the Eagle Man quite shocked. "It''s a secret." Ajax was surprised that as an Ascended Cultivator, the other party was unable to tell that he had Divine Spirit Consciousness in his body. Of course, Ajax believed that if any Ascended Cultivator was right in front of him, he could instantly tell that he had the Divine Spirit Consciousness in his body and not the Normal Spirit Consciousness. So, he concluded that the Golden Mirror of Exchange only reflected their outward appearance and not the internal body. Since the other party could not tell it, Ajax also decided not to reveal it and keep it a secret. ''As far as I know, I am the only one in the entire universe with the Divine Spirit Consciousness and if one ascended cultivator knew about it, it would be a matter of time before it was spread in the Heavenly Realms and eventually to the Earth Realm.'' Once it was known to the cultivators from the Earth Realm, they would all try to either recruit him or kill him. Even though he was confident in killing anyone who had ill intentions towards him, Ajax didn''t want to be the Number One Wanted Cultivator in the universe. Thus, he didn''t share and asked the Eagle Man, "I want some good cultivation resources from the Heavenly Realm." "Some? Exactly tell me how many and what are willing to give me in return." The Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax while asking the details of their exchange. "As many as you could give me for not disturbing you for a month." Ajax didn''t think much as he sincerely answered. "Are you serious?" Eagle frowned with Ajax''s sincere reply. "Are you not?" Ajax was serious, making the Eagle Man furious; however, he knew there was no other way for the human to stop from activating the Golden Mirror of Exchange. Chapter 1917 Divine Collector Orb Chapter 1917 Divine Collector Orb "Damn it. I think I am the only ascended cultivator who is exchanging the cultivation resources in order not to get disturbed by an Earth Realm Cultivator." The Eagle Man was frustrated; however, he was willing to pay something for Ajax to stop disturbing him by activating the Golden Mirror of Exchange again and again. Even though the Eagle Man was an Ascended Cultivator in the Heavenly Bestial Realm, he had lots of things to do. Previously, Aveline used to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange once a year or two; however, the human cultivator who became the owner of the Golden Mirror of Exchange has activated it eight times in a single day. Even though he was shocked and curious about how Ajax was able to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again and again, he didn''t have time to think about a mere Earth Realm cultivator. All he wanted was for Ajax to stop disturbing him for the moment. ''Once he ascends to the Heavenly Realm, I will capture him and make sure to torture him to my heart''s content.'' The Eagle Man didn''t even think exactly how he was going to torture Ajax because he was that busy. "I will give you this [Divine Collector Orb] if you don''t activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange for the next two years." The Eagle Man thought about the cultivation resources in his possession; however, after thinking for a moment, he thought of a perfect item for exchange with the human cultivator from the Earth Realm. "By the way, with the help of the Divine Collector Orb, you can collect half of the awakening percentage of your enemies'' Divine Rules after killing them." At the same time, the Eagle Man didn''t forget to inform Ajax about the Divine Collector Orb''s usage. It was because the Eagle Man wanted Ajax to know that he was getting a very valuable artifact from him and he should really stop disturbing him for more than two years. "One year." Ajax''s interest piqued when he heard what he was getting from the Eagle Man; however, he still bargained the price and said he would not activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange for a year. "..." The Eagle Man started at Ajax for a few seconds and once again, he gave in, "Deal" "Deal" Ajax nodded his head with a smile on his face. [The Second Exchange between the two cultivators has been sessful] [The Owner has received the artifact [Divine Collecto Orb]] [ording to the deal, the Golden Mirror of Exchange will not be activated for an entire year] As soon as the exchange was done, the Eagle Man''s reflection in the Golden Mirror of Exchange was reced with rows of words. ''So, that''s how Ipleted my second exchange with the Eagle Man without spending anything.'' Even though he could not use the Golden Mirror of Exchange for a year, Ajax was not bothered much about it. He got a Divine Grade Item without spending anything. For the first exchange, he only transferred the information about Aveline''s death and now, the Eagle Man bought a peaceful year of not getting disturbed by him. So, of course, he was happy and muttered, ''Once the Golden Mirror of Exchange is activated after a year, I will repeat the same to get something from him again.'' By then, Ajax might be a lot stronger; however, the items in an Ascended Cultivator''s possession are all treasures in the eyes of the cultivators from the Earth Realm. ''Anyway, let''s check the information about my Divine Grade Artifact.'' Putting aside his excitement, Ajax looked at the information about the Divine Collector Orb. ''Ding, Artifact Name: Divine Collector Orb. Grade: Quasi-Divine (Divine Grade). Note: Originally, it is a Divine Grade artifact; however, after the exchange and appearance in the Earth Realm, its grade has been suppressed to Quasi-Divine. Once the host ascends to the Heavenly Realm, the artifact upgrades to Divine Grade. Effect: 1) After the host kills the human cultivators, it can collect the 50 percent of the awakening percentage of all his Divine Rules. 2) The absorbed awakening percentage of the Divne Rules will be transferred to the host with 50 percent efficiency. Note: Due to the suppression of the Artifact, its effect will be halved. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Note: The Divine Collector Orb is only effective in absorbing the awakening percentage of the Human Cultivators and not on the Spirit Beasts. ''Huh? What? Its grade is suppressed?'' However, when Ajax read the information about the Divine Collector Orb, he could not help but frown. He was not expecting the artifact''s grade to be suppressed after falling into his hands. What''s more, even the two effects of that Artifact were halved, making it less effective. ''If I kill a Cultivator with 80 percent awakening for his Divine Rule, then the Divine Collector Orb will absorb 20 percent awakening of a Divine Rule.'' Ajax continued muttering, ''From the 20 percent, I would have absorbed 10 percent if the grade was not suppressed; however, thanks to the suppression, it will be halved again and I will absorb only 5 percent.'' From 80 percent to 5 percent¡­.an efficiency of 6.25 percent. Moreover, it only works on the Human Cultivators he kills and won''t work on the Spirit Beasts, making it even more useless than the Aurora Crystal of Absorption. Aurora Cyrstal of Absorption was a Special Mythical Grade Item that appeared on the reward list shown by the Spirit of the Floating Ind. Back then, Ajax thought it was not a good item; however, now, he gained the worst item. ''Nevermind. Since the system is unable to extract the Divine Crystals from the Human Cultivators I killed, I will use it.'' Going forward, Ajax would be fighting more and more human cultivators and once he sessfully kills the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect, the top five sects won''t leave him alone despite him doing a favour for the remaining four sects. ''Also, the Eagle Man is more cunning than I expected.'' Putting aside his thoughts about the artifact, Ajax thought about the Eagle Man''s intentions behind giving him the Divine Collector Orb. Chapter 1918 Rule for the Cross-Realm Exchange Chapter 1918 Rule for the Cross-Realm Exchange From the onlooker''s perspective, the exchange between the Eagle Man and Ajax might seem like Ajax was getting benefited. However, it was half right and half wrong. Even the Eagle Man was also getting benefitted from this exchange. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om One, the Divine Collector Orb could only collect the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules from the Human Corpses. In short, the Eagle Man was trying to make Ajax kill his fellow Human Cultivators. Of course, in the Cultivation World, killing fellow cultivators was amon urrence; however, killing someone to extract the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules from their corpses was notmon. Once the news about Ajax''s Divine Collector Orb spreads, he will be a traitor to the human race and in the name of righteousness, Ajax will be hunted by all the cultivators. Also, it won''t be just the human cultivators but even the cultivators from the Dragon and Demon Region woulde after him to get their hands on the Divine Collector Orb. ''ording to the rules of the Golden Mirror of Exchange, the details of our exchange should not be revealed to the third person and it was the same with the Celestial Orb of Exchange.'' As for what would happen if someone breaks the rule and tells the third person about the details of the exchange, Ajax has no clue but he believed there would be some severe consequences. [If someone breaks the rules of the Cross-Realm''s Exchange, he won''t be able to exchange things between the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm] Suddenly, the Celestial Orb of Exchange in Ajax''s hands shone brightly and informed Ajax about the main consequences of breaking the rules. ''Is that so?'' Ajax raised his brows for a moment before nodding his head in understanding. There was no way for the Cultivators from the Earth Realm to actively share the news about the item they exchanged with the Ascended Cultivators as it would only attract attention before bing the target for everyone in the Universe. As for the Ascended Cultivators, Ajax believed they would definitely not want to get blocked by all the treasures that could tell the cultivators from two realms to exchange things because they have their families to support and protect in the Earth Realm. Once they were blocked and could not contact the cultivators from the Earth Realm, their enemies in the Heavenly Realm would target their families in the Earth Realm with the help of their descendants who were actively nurtured by them. Therefore, the information about the exchange between the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm would be not divulged to the third person. It was also because of this reason, that most cultivators in the Universe have no idea that the top sects and the families of the Universe were able to be so powerful with the help of their ancestors who actively sent treasures to them. ''Activating the treasures like the Golden Mirror of Exchange was a little problem; however, with the resources umted by an entire sect or a family, it won''t be a problem.'' His Celestial Orb of Exchange was a little different from the Golden Mirror of Exchange. Compared to the Celestial Orb of Exchange, the Golden Mirror of Exchange needed a huge amount of Essence of Nature; however, there was no cooldown period for the Golden Mirror. Therefore, even for the Sects and Families, it would take quite some time to trigger their mediums like the Golden Mirror of Exchange. ''Also, ording to the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor, whenever someone ascends to the Heavenly Realm, the barrier separating the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Realm would temporarily be weak for a split second.'' ''During that moment, the ascended cultivators could send one item for their descendants to help them increase their cultivation.'' Ajax silently thought about the information he gained from the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor and continued, ''From this, I can conclude that very few top powerhouses have artifacts like the Golden Mirror of Exchange.'' ''It might also be the reason why there was barely anyone who ascended to the Heavenly Realms.'' Ajax learned that in the past few centuries, less than 10 cultivators have triggered the Lightning Tribtion for the ascension to the Heavenly Realm from the entire universe. ''I might sound a little arrogant and look down on all the cultivators in the universe; however, I still feel that numbers are quite low.'' There are a lot of resources in the universe and the only thing to do is to risk their lives in getting them. Some lose their lives in the process and some don''t even bother risking their lives and get used to theirfortable life until they die. Some lucky cultivators would eventually get the cultivation resources. Even though many cultivators would fail in the process of ascending to the Heavenly Realm, Ajax felt that the number of cultivators who triggered the Lightning Tribtion for the ascension seemed quite low for Ajax. ''Is there any reason behind it?'' Ajax thought about it for a moment and felt there was no use thinking about it now. ''Anyway, I will cultivate for a year and refill my Divine Spirit Consciousness before taking down thest region.'' Ajax thought whether he should order his two new subordinates to take down the Water Region of the Floating Ind or not and in the end, he decided not to do it. It was because he learned from Aveline''s Nightmare that the Veiled Vampire Emperor of the Water Region has a medium tomunicate with the Heavenly Realm. So, he must have collected lots of items and that''s how Aveline was killed by him in the nightmare. Sending Oberon and Rosaline to the Water Region was not going to end well even if Ajax sent his powerful contracted spirit beasts as he didn''t know what type of artifacts Maximus was hiding. Therefore, Ajax wanted to strike the Water Region with his full force once he refilled his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Also, I can get another artifact from the Eagle Man.'' Ajax revealed a cunning smile as he thought of a way to get another item from the Eagle Man. Chapter 1919 Invading the Water Region Chapter 1919 Invading the Water Region Time continued to pass and in a sh one year passed by in the Floating Ind; however, outside the Floating Ind, it was just another day. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness has been filled. ''Ding, Divine Spirit Consciousness: 10.1 Million / 10.1 Million units of Divine Essence of Nature. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ajax opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation session. ''I think it is finally time to use the Golden Mirror of Exchange.'' Once Ajax opened his eyes, he didn''t waste any time as he directly went to the Golden Mirror of Exchange. Not only did Ajax increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness by 10000 units but he also refilled his entire Divine Spirit Consciousness. After his Divine Spirit Consciousness reached the capacity of ten million units, it required 10,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature, making it even more difficult to further increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. Nevertheless, Ajax was patient and slowly increased it. ''Although it might seem boring for others, for me, it was quite exciting to see my Divine Spirit Consciousness'' capacity increase.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he was quite satisfied with the additional 10000 units of capacity for his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''I wonder whether I can really activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange.'' Even though Ajax thought to fool the Eagle Man and get another item from it, he was not sure whether it would work or not. When he waspleting his exchange with the Eagle Man, Ajax silently muttered that one year of not disturbing the Eagle Man was the Floating Ind''s time. ''Swoosh'' ''It is absorbing my Divine Essence of Nature¡­looks like it is working.'' Amidst his doubts, Ajax noticed that the Divine Essence of Nature he was injecting into the Golden Mirror of Exchange was being absorbed by it. What does it mean? It means the Golden Mirror of Exchange can be activated. However, his expression froze when he received a sudden system notification. ''Ding, The host has received the Divine Essence of Nature he injected into the Golden Mirror of Exchange. At the same time, some words appeared on the mirror that made Ajax frown. [The Golden Mirror of Exchange can''t be activated for an entire day] [It will be the first andst warning for the user not to try to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange unless he wants to get banned from the further Cross-Realm Exchange from all the simr-type of aritfacts] ''Damn it¡­I was excited for nothing.'' Ajax shook his head and didn''t bother to forcefully activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange any longer. Also, he learned that the Ascended Cultivators are much more intelligent and cunning than him. ''If I want to fool them, I need to be more intelligent and cunning than them and it will onlye with my age.'' Ajax''s age was only around 20 years and even adding the years he spent in the Floating Ind, he won''t be more than 50 years. So, in front of the ascended cultivators who lived for thousands of years, Ajax''s intelligence and cunningness were not much. Nevertheless, Ajax believed that as long as he was careful and thought everything, he could oversmart them. ''Anyway, since I have refilled my Divine Spirit Consciousness, it is time to conquer the final region of the Floating Ind.'' Soon, Ajax looked in the direction of the Water Region of the Floating Ind with a slight smile on his face. Even though there were many reasons why he dyed his invasion of the Water Region for a year, there was one particr reason he liked. It was to make the Veiled Vampire Emperor live in constant worry about his invasion. ''He must be wondering why I was not attacking his region and due to the fear, he might not be properly cultivating.'' Ajax could not help butugh at Maximus'' current situation and he didn''t feel bad for him. From Aveline''s nightmare, Ajax learned how cunning and cruel the Veiled Vampire Emperor was and that''s the reason he didn''t attack the Water Region right after he conquered the Fire Region. ''Also, he must have contacted the Heavenly Bestial Realm to get some Quasi-Divine Grade Artifacts to protect himself and his regions. I am hoping he has collected a lot of them.'' It might be a tough battle for Ajax if Maximus collected lots of artefacts from the Heavenly Bestial Realm; however, Ajax was willing to take that risk to get his hands on those items. "Everyone, we will be attacking the Water Region. In a day, everyone must gather at the border separating the Fire Region and the Water Region." Once Ajax decided to invade the Water Region, he didn''t waste any time and transmitted his voice to all his contracted spirit beasts and the elemental spirits who were settled in the four regions of the Floating Ind. Thus, Ajax gave a day for them to arrive at the border. After Ajax became the ruler of the four regions, Fire, Earth, Wind and Metal, the wilderness between these regions disappeared and the inhabitants of these regions could easily move between them without worrying about the unevolved spirit beasts. However, the wilderness between the Fire Region and the Water Region was still there and Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts and the Elemental Spirits were continuously fighting the unevolved spirit beasts in that wilderness for their training while clearing the wilderness from their side. Of course, even after one year, there were still hundreds of kilometers of wilderness that needed to be cleared. ''Let''s go and bring everyone this time.'' Even though Ajax was fully confident in invading the Water Region, he decided to bring everyone and was nning to bring everyone like Siora, and his father in the battle against the Veiled Vampire Emperor, so that they could also train in real life and death battles. ''Swoosh'' Soon, he flew towards the cultivator caves that his father was staying in. ¡­ Water Region, "Damn it ... .when he is going to invade my region. I am tired of waiting." Chapter 1920 Invading the Water Region (2) 1920 Invading the Water Region (2) In the Water Region, Floating Ind. "Damn it ... .when he is going to invade my region. I am tired of waiting." On the other hand, the Veiled Vampire Emperor had already made some preparations for his fight against the new ruler. However, it''s been a year since he was waiting for the invasion from the new ruler. During thest one year, he was living with an anxious heart despite making some preparations for the fight. Someone who was able to defeat Aveline in his own region and took in the ruler of the other two regions as his subordinates¡­how could he live in peace? Just the rulers of the Wind and the Earth regions would be sufficient to severely injure and the ruler along with his other three powerful contracted spirit beasts, would be a piece of cake for killing him. Therefore, he was constantly worrying about it and even had nightmares while sleeping. As a Vampire, Maximus''s cultivation entirely depends on sleep. With sufficient cultivation resources and proper sleep, they could steadily increase their cultivation. Thanks to those nightmares, it''s been a year since he had a proper sleep. As for the cultivation, there was no progress in it as it remained the same as it was before. ''Do you guys see anything?'' For a moment, Maximus closed his eyes and enquired about the signs of someone entering the Water Region. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Master, I see no one.'' ''North side, clear.'' ''South side, clear.'' The Veiled Vampires that were stationed at the boundaries were also getting frustrated at the fact that their Master had asked the same question more than 1000 times in the past one year. Moreover, during the entire year, these Veiled Vampire Soldiers were working without going to their homes, making them frustrated too. Nevertheless, the Vampires were strict with their hierarchy and wouldn''t disobey their master even if they were beaten to death. "What the hell is he nning?" If Ajax had invaded his region already, Maximus would have not worried this much. Either he would have killed the new ruler or he would have died himself in the hands of that new ruler. ''I am very sure that he would be invading my region instead of challenging me using his rulership. So, there is still a chance that I can defeat him.'' The only thing that Maximus was happy about was that Ajax would be entering his region and he was 100 percent sure about it. Since the two rulers have be the new ruler''s subordinates along with the ruler''s three contracted spirit beasts, going through an official duel for Ajax would be not advantageous because he could not use any contracted spirit beasts or subordinates. Hence, Maximus has increased the number of guards on every corner of his region who always kept watching for the so-called invader that their master was waiting for. ''Master, I see someone. A human ising with some spirit beasts.'' Suddenly, Maximus receives a voice transmission from one of his Vampire Servants, making him excited. "Finally¡­that b*stard is here." Whether he would win the battle or not, was a secondary thing for Maximus. All he wanted was to quickly wrap up the new ruler''s invasion and get an oue because he was unable to bear the tension of the invasion anymore. ''Everyone, retreat to the Blood Pond. No need to guard the boundaries anymore.'' Soon, Maximus came out of his thoughts and hurriedly ordered the Vampire Guards. The reason why Maximus put so many Vampire Guards on the boundaries was to keep an eye on Ajax. Among the all rulers, there was only one human ruler and even though humans were entering the Floating Ind from the Five Elemental Human Worlds, they wouldn''t dare to travel to another region risking their lives fighting the Unevolved Spirit Beasts in the Wilderness. The only one who would do that was none other than the new ruler who wanted to invade his region. ''Swoosh'' As soon as they received the orders, hundreds of thousands of Vampire Guards with the strength of normal Emperor Realm flew towards the center of the Water Region. In the center of the Water Region, there was a huge red-coloured pond and Maximus was already waiting for his Vampire Guards there. "Master." Seeing their Master, all Vampire Guards respectfully greeted them and before Maximus could order them, they walked to the Blood Pond and dropped a single drop of their blood. ''Drip'' ''Drop'' With a single drop of blood from hundreds of thousands of Vampire Guards, the level of blood in the Blood Pond increased and it started overflowing. ''Now, it is my turn.'' The entire process took five minutes and after it was finished, Maximus also did the same thing as his Vampire Guards. ''Guggle'' ''Guggle'' In the next second, the seemingly calm but overflowing blood in the Blood Pond started boiling and the speed at which it was overflowing increased. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' The blood from the Blood Pond slowly but steadily flowed in all directions. Just like how the Fire Region was filled with Volcanoes, the Metal Region with metallic stones, and the Water Region covered many water bodies, small and big. With the overflow of the blood from the Blood Pond, these water bodies also turned red and soon, they started overflowing, eventually, all the water bodies turned red in the entire Water Region. From a sky view, the water region which used to look blue and not turned bright red. "The first step ispleted and the moment he enters my Water Region, I can begin my other steps." Maximus, despite being worried about Ajax''s invasion, was excited about the uing fight with Ajax. It was because, as long as he kills Ajax, the entire Floating Ind bes his and he could enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind and take the Divine Artifact. Like Aveline, Maximus also had the same dream and it was to conquer all the regions of the Floating Ind and enter the Core Region in which a Divine Artifact was stored.

Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1921 Heavenly Blood 1921 Heavenly Blood ''I have spent everything on the preparations and it has already started.'' Looking at the overflowing Blood Pond, Maximus'' emotions wereplicated. For Maximus, today is the day he could achieve his dream or die in the process of achieving it. Nevertheless, he was not afraid of death. If he was afraid, he would have long submitted to Ajax just like the other two rulers of the Floating Ind. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Master, we have activated the Blood Pond but what happens if that ruler won''t enter the region?" Maximus'' right-hand man, Moore, looked into the distance and calmly asked with a thoughtful look. Moore was not just a right-hand man, he was also Maximus''s minister who mostly took care of managing the region and other things that needed intelligence. However, right now, while Moore was busy taking care of the things for the uing invasion from the new ruler of the Floating Ind, Maximus directly made a move. And that move was none other than activating the Blood Pond. Even the idea of using the Blood Pond entirely goes to Moore and he was a little worried that his Master was a little bit anxious and activated the Blood Pond a little early. "..." Maximus froze when he heard Moore''s words; however, he quickly recovered and replied, "Don''t worry, since that new ruler has decided to make a move now, he will be entering the Water Region." "If the new ruler had used his rulership to challenge me, he might have defeated me because I have more or less the same strength as Aveline." Maximus has decided to think positively and thus, he was not worried too much about whether the enemy would be entering the Water Region or not. Moreover, to boost his confidence, Maximus tried to mock Ajax''s intelligence. "Master, sorry to tell you this, but if the enemy doesn''t enter the Water Region, the Heavenly Blood flowing out will enter our bodies and I don''t think I should exin what are the consequences if it happens?" Moore was not anxious, or frustrated at Maximus'' actions; instead, he reminded Maximus about the consequences of the failure. ''Let''s only think positive.'' Maximus silently muttered to himself as he waited for Ajax and his army to enter his region. ''...'' After hearing that reply, Moore remained silent and he was ready to bear the consequences with his master. Not only Moore, but Maximus had many such loyal followers who knew how dangerous the newly arriving enemy was. Nevertheless, they were standing with Maximus and swore to give their best in making their Master the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind. ''Let''s hope the Heavenly Blood from the overflowing Blood Pond will kill the enemy.'' With that thought in mind, Maximus and his loyal followers hoped for the best. ¡­ "Master, when dealing with the Veiled Vampire Emperor, we need to be careful." "He is very cunning and could cleverly bend the rules of the Floating Ind in his favour." On the other hand, as Ajax was flying towards the Water Region with his Father, Siora, contracted spirit beasts and Elemental Spirit, the two newly contracted spirit beasts warned him about Maximus. "Also, there is a rumour that he had an artifact that lets him exchange things with his ancestor from the Heavenly Bestial Realm." After hesitating for a moment, Rosaline shares another important thing with Ajax regarding Maximus. "I really hope that the rumour is true." However, when he heard Rosaline''s words, Ajax was not afraid in the least; instead, he was a little happy. "What?" Both Rosaline and Oberon were shocked at his master''s words; however, they shook their heads and decided not to think much about it. They were really curious about exactly how powerful Ajax was. Even though they knew Ajax was powerful and even submitted to him, they had never seen him in action during the past year and were curious about it. "Anyway, continue to clear all the unevolved Spirit Beasts." While travelling from the Fire Region to the Water Region, Ajax was clearing the unevolved spirit beasts along the way. Of course, it was his contracted spirits and the Elemental Spirits who were fighting and Ajax was looking at the progress of his summons. 11:47 Other than Ajax''s summons, his Father Aron also fought the unevolved spirit beasts to test his battle prowess. After going through the serious cultivation, Aron had awakened not one or two or three¡­but five Divine Rules in a single go. Divine Fire Rule, Divine Water Rule, Divine Metal Rule, Divine Wind Rule and Divine Earth Rule. When Ajax first learned about Aron''s five Divine Rules, he was thoroughly shocked. However, he knew the reason behind Aron''s shocking Five-Divine-Rule awakening and it was because of Aron''s Extraordinary Celestial Body that he gained after creating a new body. ''The Celestial Cultivation Body is definitely scary.'' Awakening the Five Divine Rules was one thing; however, each one of these Divine Rules has already reached an awakening percentage of 5 percent. ''Father is not using the Giant Fire Crystals I provided, saying that it would cause a disturbance between his Five Divine Rules.'' Of course, other than taking his son''s help in creating this new body, Aron no longer received any help from his son for his cultivation. It was not that he was embarrassed to take help from his son; instead, he felt there was no need to do so. His cultivation speed was much faster and among his five Divine Rules, all he had to do was increase the awakening percentage of one Divine Rule with his cultivation and the remaining four Divine Rules would increase. If he used external cultivation resources to increase the awakening percentage of one of his Divine Rules, it would not break the synchronization effect between the Five Divine Rules, which was also a reason for not seeking Ajax''s help. ''At this rate, Father will be ascending to the Heavenly Realm much faster than me.'' Ajax was not jealous of his Father; instead, Ajax was proud and really hoped his father to be much stronger than him. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

Comment it and let me know. vinayraj Chapter 1922 Bloody Tentacle Chapter 1922 Bloody Tentacle Having a powerful father to rely on, who would not want that? Currently, Ajax was still a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator whereas his father Aron had already reached the high-level Emperor Realm and focused on increasing the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. At this rate, without a doubt, Aron''s chances of triggering the Lightning Tribtion to the Heavenly Human Realm were much faster than Ajax''s. Of course, thanks to his Celestial Cultivation Body, the Lightning Tribtion won''t be stopping him from ascending to the Heavenly Human Realm to find his wife. ''I wonder whether Mother has sessfully ascended to the Heavenly Realm?'' Even though Ajax was excited about his invasion of the Water Region, he could not help but think about his Mother. ''I need toplete the mission and get the Divine Grade Fruits as soon as possible.'' Ajax clenched his fists with a face full of determination. Nevertheless, he focused on the Water Region Invasion for now and after leaving the Floating Ind, he would enter the Celestial Dawn Realm and as soon as he came out of the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax decided to kill the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect. "Master, I sense a thick scent of blood." The two strongest contracted spirit beasts, Rosaline and Oberon hurriedly informed Ajax about the blood scent and warned, "There is a rumour among the rulers of the Floating Ind that Maximus had a treasure in his region that collects the Blood of the Ascended Cultivators from the Heavenly Realms." "What?" Even Ajax noticed the thick scent of blood; however, he didn''t think much about it because the opponent this time was a Vampire that lived on the blood. However, when he heard that he collected the blood of the Ascended Cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, he was shocked. "It''s just not it. He could use this blood to increase his cultivation." "ording to Aveline, it was a trump card that could kill anyone upon entering his region. Of course, no one believed that in the past." "However, right now, I think it must be true." Oberon and Rosaline constantly warned Ajax because if something happened to him, they would die along with him. It''s been only a year since they formed a contract with him and they don''t want to die yet. "Don''t worry. I will take care of it." Ajax silently made note of all the things as he looked in the direction of the Water Region. ''With my Divine Death Rule, I don''t fear death as I will be immortal once I activate it.'' Even though the awakening percentage of his Divine Death Rule was only one percent, Ajax could temporarily be Immortal. Therefore, Ajax was not worried about instant death the moment he entered the Water Region. ''I have already decided not to stall for too much time with this Veiled Vampire Emperor.'' In Aveline''s Nightmare, Ajax saw how cunning this Veiled Vampire Emperor was and who knows what type of preparations he had made in thest year. "Everyone, as soon as we enter the Water Region, don''t hold back and kill everyone." It didn''t take much time for Ajax and his army to reach the Water Region while clearing a route in the Wilderness. Before entering the Water Region, Ajax gave simple orders; however, hearing them, everyone became excited. ''The entire Water Region is covered in blood. It looks like our opponent has already made the preparations.'' Looking at the flowing blood in the Water Region, Ajax warned his army and absorbed the blood with interest. The blood was flowing in the Water Region; however, he didn''te out of that region as though it was only restricted to the Water Region. "This must be the rumoured Ascender''s blood from the Heavenly Realm, right?" Looking at the bright red-coloured blood, Ajax asked Rosaline and Oberon; however, he didn''t wait for their reply as he shouted, "Let''s enter." ''Swoosh'' n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om With that, Ajax had officially entered the Water Region and behind him, his entire army followed. [The Ruler of Four Regions has entered the Water Region] [The Water Region has used a reward of the Floating Ind called ''Double Suppression''. It increases the suppression of the invading ruler from 20 percent to 40 percent] As soon as Ajax entered the Water Region, the Light Orb which was the Floating Ind''s Spirit hurriedly informed about the ruler''s suppression. ''Huh? 40 percent? Interesting.'' Ajax was surprised for a moment; however, it was well within his expectations and at the same time, he ordered, "Everyone, wait." "Haha¡­human, you are going to die today." On the other hand, from the center of the Water Region, Maximus was observing Ajax and his army and prayed that Ajax would enter his region. And the moment Ajax entered the Water Region, Maximus became excited and rxed at the same time. Excited because his chances of bing the sole ruler of the Floating Ind increased and Rxed because he was confident in his preparations. Of course, his preparations would have been wasted if Ajax hadn''t entered the Water Region; however, since he entered, Maximus was no longer worried and heaved a sigh of relief. "How is it? 40 percent decrease in your battle prowess?" Maximus scoffed at Ajax''s intelligence. "You might have suppressed my battle prowess; however, what about my contracted spirit beasts?" Ajax scoffed back at Maximus as he shouted, "Everyone, stay within a 100-kilometer radius of me. Now, attack." ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As soon as they received Ajax''s orders, all the contracted spirits beasts and the Elemental Spirits rushed out at an incredible speed. "What?" Maximus frowned as he looked at Ajax''s contracted spirits and the Elemental Spirits. "Don''t tell me that the suppression won''t work on the ruler''s subordinates." Not only Maximus but even the two ex-rulers of the Floating Ind were shocked when he realized this fact as they looked at Ajax in a new light. ''Now wonder, he dared to enter the Water Region. So, he knows that we can use our full strength.'' Both Oberon and Rosaline looked at each other and nodded before looking at Maximus, "Maximus, it looks like you are going to die today." "Haha¡­I don''t think so." Maximus''s shocked face disappeared as he manicallyughed at them before shouting, "Heavenly Blood, I select him as my primary target." ''Ssh'' Soon, a long tentacle formed from the Blood Pond made its way towards Ajax and pierced through his body. Chapter 1923 Ruler of the Floating Island (1) Chapter 1923 Ruler of the Floating Ind (1) "Haha¡­I thought it would be quite difficult to kill you; however, it was quite easy." Looking at the Blood Tentacle being pierced through Ajax''s body, Maximus could not help but be excited as he mocked Ajax. ''Master, be careful. He is not dead yet.'' Moore, on the other hand, sensed that there was a smile on the human who just got his body pierced by the blood tentacle. ''[Divine Death Rule], activate.'' Just before the Bloody Tentacle pierced through Ajax''s body, he had already activated his Divine Death Rule with a single thought. ''Revive'' Thanks to the Divine Death Rule, Ajax was revived in no time; however, the Blood Tentacle was still in his body. ''Let''s cut this Blood Tentacle first.'' Since he could not keep the Divine Death Rule active for more than a minute, Ajax decided to act fast. ''Inheritance Sword'' With a thought, his peak-legend-grade sword appeared in Ajax''s hands. [Thousand des Torrent] He used the Demi-God Grade Sword Technique to sh the Blood Tentacles that pierced through his body. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' However, the de torrent created by his Inheritance Sword didn''t do anything to the Blood Tentacle. It was like there was no Blood Tentacle, making Ajax frown. "I don''t know how you are still alive being pierced by the Heavenly Blood Tentacle but your attacks won''t work on it¡­Haha." For a moment, Maximus was shocked to see Ajax was still alive; however, in the next second, he startedughing seeing Ajax attacking the Blood Tentacle. "Is that so?" Ajax was calm as he nodded his head swapped his Inheritance Sword with the Soul sher and used the same attack. ''Swoosh'' ''sh'' Unlike before, this time, the torrent made up of des sliced the Heavenly Blood Tentacle into pieces, shocking Maximus and his close subordinates who know how powerful the Heavenly Blood Tentacle is. "It seems like it is still nothing." Ajax after slicing the Blood Tentacle into pieces, shook his head with disappointment. Of course, the reason why Ajax was able to sh the Blood Tentacle very easily was because of his title [Weapon Master] which increases the attack power of his already powerful sword technique, the [Thousand des Torrent] Also, the Soulsher is something that attacks the souls and not just the physical bodies. Since his Inheritance Sword didn''t work, Ajax was confident that his Soulsher would work on it despite the fact that Blood Tentacle clearly has a physical form. Anyway, Ajax didn''t care much about it as his attack worked on the Blood Tentacle and he was satisfied with it. As for the hole in his chest was soon recovered under the effects of the Divine Death Rule. "What? How is this possible?" Maximus knew the other party was powerful; however, he didn''t expect the other party to be powerful enough to slice the Blood Tentacle into pieces. "Everyone, sacrifice yourself." Nevertheless, he quickly recovered from his shock before Maximus never expected the normal blood tentacle to take down Ajax anyway. So, he quickly started his next big move to take down Ajax in a single swoop. ''sh'' ''sh'' As soon as they received their Master''s orders, the hundreds of thousands of Vampire Servants with peak king realm cultivation stabbed their own hearts and jumped into the Blood Pond. ''Blup blup'' Soon, the blood in the Blood Pond started boiling. ''What the hell¡­what kind of Emperor sacrificed his men so openly?'' Even though Ajax had seen various emperors and masters sacrifice their subjects and servants, it was his first time seeing such an open sacrifice. Moreover, he had never seen such loyal servants who would sacrifice themselves with just a single word. Of course, some of his contracted spirit beasts would do the same if asked; however, he was confident that all the contracted spirit beasts wouldn''t do it. "Master, for the Vampires, the hierarchy was their top priority and the low-level vampires have to do whatever the highest ranking vampire asks them to do." From the side, Rosaline exined how the Vampires work, making Ajax nod his head. At the same time, his eyes fell on the Blood Pond filled with boiling water and knew Maximus was preparing his next move. ''I think it is better to destroy it before the Vampire Emperor uses his signature move.'' Since he had already figured out Maximus'' next move woulde from the Blood Pond, he decided to destroy it. ''Creating something is difficult; however, destroying it is easy. Isn''t that right, Twilight?'' Ajax transmitted his voice to Twilight who was maintaining his innocent young man''s form and asked about it. ''I am waiting for your word, Brother Ajax.'' Twilight was controlling himself and was waiting for Ajax''s word. "Let''s¡­" "Master, I am feeling a great affinity to the boiling blood inside the Blood Pond. I think I can absorb it to increase the Elemental Ascendance?" Just when Ajax was about to give the order to destroy the Blood Pond, the Blood Elemental Spirit shared his thoughts, making Ajax halt his attack order. "I feel the rich essence of nature too; however, I feel it''s very risky to absorb it." As someone who had an affinity with almost all the elements, Ajax could feel the affinity with the Blood Element. However, he didn''t want to take unnecessary risks by cultivating in the Water Region to absorb the Essence of Nature from the boiling blood as it might contain some unknown power from the Heavenly Realm. "Don''t worry, master, I will send my Blood Clones to cultivate inside the Blood Pond to test whether it is dangerous or not." As soon as he finished his words, the Blood Elemental Spirit didn''t wait for Ajax''s reply as more than 100 drops of blood came out of his half-transparent and half-real body and transformed into 100 clones that looked just like him. ''Ssh'' The clones didn''t wait for anymand as they shared the same thought as the main body and directly jumped into the Blood Pond. "What the¡­what is he nning to do with his Blood Elemental Spirit?" Maximus frowned for a moment; however, he soon realized something, "Does he think he can cultivate inside the Blood Pond? That Blood Elemental Spirit dreams very big." Nevertheless, Maximus scoffed at the Blood Elemental Spirit''s thoughts and allowed his clones to enter the Blood Pond. ''Boom'' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Boom'' In the next second, those 100 Blood Clones sted the moment they started cultivating inside the Blood Pond, making the Blood Elemental Spirit shake his head in disappointment. "Master, the Blood Essence of Nature inside the Blood Pond is very pure and the quantity is also very high for my Blood Clones to handle. Other than that, there is no other strange energy that you are mentioning." "However, it is not something we can handle. It looks like we can only destroy it." The Blood Elemental Spirit was a little embarrassed because a little while ago, he was confident that he could cultivate inside the Blood Pond. "It is too high for your clones to cultivate?" However, Ajax''s eyes shone with a bright light as he got an idea, "No. Cultivation Resources should not be destroyed. They are used to increase your cultivation." With an excited smile on his face, Ajax decided to try something. Chapter 1924 Ruler of the Floating Island (2) Chapter 1924 Ruler of the Floating Ind (2) "Blood, do you want to try something crazy?" After thinking of something, Ajax asked the Blood Elemental Spirit beside him. "Anything you say, Summoning Master." The Blood Elemental Spirit didn''t think much about it as he asked Ajax to just order it and he would do it. Even though there was not much bonding between Ajax and the Blood Elemental Spirit, the Blood Elemental Spirit had seen Ajax''s capabilities. Moreover, he trusts that Ajax can bring him back even if he identally gets killed with his skills and even if his skills fail to revive him, the [Tree of Blessing] will revive him with a penalty. Hence, the Blood Elemental Spirit was ready to do anything that Ajax ordered him to do. Not only the Blod Elemental Spirit, but all the Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts were less afraid of death now. All the Elemental Spirits under Ajax were connected to the [Tree of Blessing] in the Inner World and if any of his Elemental Spirits died, they would be revived with some penalty and the penalty would increase with each time they die. As for the Contracted Spirit Beasts, their souls were connected to the Soul Nourishing Tree and even though their revival was not as smooth as the Elemental Spirits, it was much better than dyingpletely. "If I order you to enter the Blood Pond, will you do it?" Ajax asked the Blood Elemental Spirit with a smile, surprising everyone around him. Just a few moments back, everyone had witnessed what happened to the Blood Clones when they tried to cultivate inside the Blood Pond. And now, Ajax was asking the Blood Elemental Spirit to enter the Blood Pond which was indirectly asking him to die. "I can go and give it a try, master." Since the Blood Elemental Spirit knew he would be revived, he agreed. ''Swoosh'' Soon after, he didn''t waste any time as he directly flew towards the Blood Pond. "Sending his Elemental Spirit to a certain death." "He is crazy." "Don''t bother stopping him. Let him die on his own." Earlier, Maximus had ordered all his servants with King Realm Cultivation to die and there were only a few thousands of Emperor Realm subordinates standing beside him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om When they saw the Blood Elemental Spirit flying towards the Blood Pond, they didn''t bother to attack him. In their eyes, the Blood Elemental Spirit was just seeking his own death. As for Ajax''s Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts, except for the two newly contracted ones, everyone looked calm with smiles on their faces. ''What is he doing?'' ''Is he sacrificing his Elemental Spirit just like that?'' Rosaline and Oberon clearly heard Ajax''s words and looking at the Blood Elemental Spirit rushing into the Blood Pond, they frowned. Nevertheless, they didn''t say out loud and patiently waited to see what their new master was trying to do. ''Ssh'' Under the eyes of all the onlookers, the Blood Elemental Spirit directly jumped into the Blood Pond. ''Let''s trust the Summoning Master and start the cultivation.'' The Blood Elemental Spirit didn''t waste any time as he directly started absorbing the Essence of Nature around him. ''Swoosh'' Just as he started his cultivation, arge quantity of pure Blood Essence of Nature rushed into his body. ''Huh? Where is the Blood Essence of Nature in my body going?'' The expected fullness of the Blood Essence of Nature in his body didn''t appear, making the Blood Elemental Spirits a little confused. ''Wait a second¡­is Summoning Master absorbing the Blood Essence of Nature in my body?'' Suddenly, a thought came to his mind as he could not help but remember Ajax''s smile before he jumped into the Blood Pond. ''Let''s continue absorbing the Bloo Essence of Nature and increase my Elemental Ascendance.'' Soon, Blood shook off his thoughts and focused on his cultivation. ¡­ ''Ding, The host''s Elemental Spirit has absorbed arge amount of pure Blood Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Under the effects of the Title [Elemental Spirit Master], the excessive Essence of Nature absorbed by his Elemental Spirits will be directly transferred to the host. ''Ding, The host has received 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has received 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. . . . Soon, Ajax''s head was filled with system notifications. Even without the exnation from the first two system notifications, Ajax knew why and from where he was getting the Divine Essence of Nature. However, what shocked Ajax was the amount of Divine Essence of Nature he was getting. Even though it seems only 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature per second, one should remember that one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature is equivalent to dozens of millions of units of the Essence of Nature. Even if it was considered one million, right now, Ajax was getting 10 billion units of Essence of Nature per second. From this, one could tell how pure and rich the Blood Pond was in terms of the Blood Essence of Nature. ''For every second, I am getting 10000 units of Divine Essence of Nature and at this rate, it won''t even take 20 minutes to fill my entire Divine Essence of Nature.'' Ajax could not help but be excited when he did a simple math. ''System, leaving 5 million units of Divine Essence of Nature in my Divine Spirit Consciousness, uses the remaining Divine Essence of Nature to increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Since he was getting the free Divine Essence of Nature, Ajax decided to use it to upgrade his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity which was already at 10.1 million units. ''I wonder how long it will take for the Blood Essence of Nature in the Blood Pond to deplete.'' Ajax hoped it wouldst for as long as possible because the longer itsted, the more Divine Essence of Nature he would get to increase the capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness. "T-this¡­what is happening?" Maximus and others were shocked to see that there was no explosion from the Blood Ponds, moreover, Maximus could vaguely sense the Blood Essence of the Nature from the Blood Pond is disappearing. Chapter 1925 Ruler of the Floating Island (3) Chapter 1925 Ruler of the Floating Ind (3) The rate at which the Blood Essence from the Blood Pond was disappearing was minimal; however, Maximus could tell that it was decreasing. ''What is happening? The Blood Essence in the Blood Pond should be increasing; instead, it is decreasing.'' Maximus frowned as he looked at smiling Ajax in the distance and thought, ''Is it because of the Blood Elemental Spirit?'' It was the only possibility that Maximus could think of. ''No¡­how is it possible? How could a mere Elemental Spirit Emperor withstand the Blood Essence in the Blood Pool even when I, with the title of Master of Blood, haven''t dared to step into the Blood Pond.'' Other than the Veiled Vampired Emperor, Maximus has another title because of his affinity with the Blood Element. However, his Ancestor has strictly ordered him not to enter the Blood Pond because the Blood Essence inside it is very pure. ''ording to Progenitor, my body will explode even if I sit beside the activated Blood Pond to cultivate; however, that Blood Elemental Spirit entered the Blood Pond.'' His brain was telling him that the Blood Elemental Spirit was sessfully cultivating inside the Blood Pond. On the other hand, his heart didn''t want to acknowledge that fact because if he epted that, he could not evenpare to the Blood Elemental Spirit in terms of affinity. "Master, the Elemental Spirits are born from the rich elemental essence gathered over a period and obviously, their affinity with their respective elements will be the highest." Sensing Maximus'' thoughts, Moore reminded him about the Elemental Spirits and asked him not to think too much about it. "I think we should increase the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond." At the same time, Moore suggested that they increase the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond as he continued, "Once all the Emperor Grade Vampires jump into the Blood Pond, even if it was an Ascended Cultivator, he could not withstand the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond let alone an Elemental Spirit." ording to their initial n, once the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond reached a specific level, the Blood Tentacle produced by the Blood Pond would easily kill Ajax. However, Ajax was powerful and easily sliced the Blood Tentacle. Nevertheless, as the next step of their n, all the King Grade Vampire Servants would sacrifice themselves by jumping into the Blood Pond to increase the Blood Essence in it. Once that happened, the Blood Tentacle would be powerful enough to kill Ajax and his contracted spirit beasts. Nevertheless, before the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond could reach a specific level, the Blood Elemental Spirit jumped into the Blood Pond to cultivate and to their surprise, it was sessfully absorbing the Blood Essence without exploding. Because of that, the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond was gradually decreasing, and if it continued, the Blood Pond couldn''t produce a new Blood Tentacle. Thus, Moore suggested that the Emperor Realm Vampire Servants should be sacrificed now. "..." Hearing Moore''s words, Maximus came out of his thoughts and gritted his teeth in silence. Even though he sacrificed all his King Realm Vampire Servants with a calm look, Maximus''s heart was bleeding; however, he believed it was a price he had to pay to be the Ruler of the Floating Ind. But, now, he needed to sacrifice his Emperor Realm Vampire Servants. "Moore, I don''t think I can give the order." Maximus might be cold-hearted and doesn''t care much about his low-level servants; however, he cares about his high-level servants who have stayed with him for centuries. If he had to sacrifice them to be the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind, then Maximus felt he wouldn''t need such Sole Rulership. "I will ept defeat and surrender to him." The mighty Maximus of the Water Region said something that he never imagined to say. "What?" "Am I hearing things?" "Did Maximus really say those words?" Even though Ajax and his army were quite far from Maximus and Moore, they were powerful beings in the Earth Realm with powerful senses. So, they could hear the conversation between Maximus and Moore who were not using the voice transmission and were normally speaking. Hearing Maximus'' words, Ajax and his army were shocked. Especially the two newly contracted spirit beasts¡­they knew more about Maximus, making them think that they were hearing things now. ''If he surrenders, it would be much easier for me.'' Coming out of his shock, Ajax was happy to hear Maximus saying those words and even ready to ept Maximus despite knowing he would backstab him someday. It was because Ajax thought he could use Maximus to get the things he needed from the Heavenly Bestial Realm. With those things, Ajax could be even more powerful and even if Maximus ns to backstab him, Ajax could easily take care of him at the time. However, things were not as easy as he thought they would be. "Mas¡­Maximus, what are you doing? Give the order." Moore pped Maximus''s head as he said in a serious tone, "As the direct descendent of the Progenitor, how can you have such thoughts." ''What?'' Ajax frowned when he saw the Vampire Servant hit Maximus''s head and frowned. Nevertheless, he didn''t move from his ce and kept an eye on the system notifications and the other one on Maximus to see what he would do next. ''I hope that he will surrender.'' Ajax was sincerely hoping Maximus to be his contracted spirit beast. "Moore¡­but I don''t want everyone to sacrifice just for the sake of me bing the Ruler of the Floating Ind." Maximus was not angered at Moore''s actions; instead, he exined why he came to that conclusion. "Maximus, if you fail to be the Ruler of the Floating Ind today, go back to the Progenitor and cultivate properly and don''t forget to avenge me when you be powerful." Moore could already guess what was going on in Maximus'' head as he said a few words to Maximus before shouting, "Everyone, sacrifice." As soon as he said those words, Moore and the remaining Emperor Realm Vampire Servants jumped into the Blood Pond. "Maximus, a direct descendant of a Progenitor Vampire never bows to anyone." From the Blood Pond, these words resounded as a beam of red-coloured light entered Maximus''s heart. At the same time, the blood in the Blood Pond started boiling crazily and showed signs of a Blood Tentacle. ¡­ ''Ding, Detected the increase in the purity of the Blood Essence. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Ding, The host is absorbing 1,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per second. ''Ding, The host has received 1,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. . . . On the other hand, Ajax suddenly felt that his Divine Spirit Consciousness was increasing at a rapid pace and when he checked the system notifications, he was shocked. ''What? One million units of Divine Essence of Nature?'' Looking at his absorption speed, Ajax was shocked as he hurriedly ordered the system, ''System, go all out and increase the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax didn''t know what would happen now after the Emperor Realm Vampire Servants sacrificed themselves, he was ready for anything that was about toe. Chapter 1926 Ruler of the Floating Island (4) Chapter 1926 Ruler of the Floating Ind (4) ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness''s capacity has increased to 15 million. ''Ding, The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness''s capacity has increased to 16 million. . . . For every minute, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity has increased by one million, making Ajax excited. This was not the only joy for him and there was another thing that made Ajax excited while waiting for what Maximus was going to do next. ''Ding, The Blood Elemental Spirit''s Elemental Ascendance has reached 50 percent and it''s increasing. ''Ding, Due to the effects of the host''s Elemental Spirit Master, all his Elemental Spirits were connected with one another and are in perfect synchronization in their Cultivation and the Elemetnal Ascendance. ''Ding, The Elemental Ascendance of all official elemental spirits under the host has reached 50 percent and it''s increasing. Even though Ajax knew the effects of the title [Elemental Spirit Master], he was still pleasantly surprised to see the Blood Elemental Spirit''s cultivation speed. How long has it been since the Blood Elemental Spirit entered the Blood Pond? 10 minutes? It''s been not even 10 minutes and not only the Blood Elemental Spirit but all 1400 plus official Elemental Spirits under Ajax had their Elemental Ascendance increase. ''At this rate, it is only a matter of minutes before all my Elemental Spirits have their Elemental Ascendance reached 100 percent.'' All the Elemental Spirits under Ajax were official and there was not a single unofficial Elemental Spirit thanks to the Fruit of Summoners. Adding to the effects of the Fruit of Summoners along with his Title, [The Elemental Spirit Master], helped Ajax a lot. ''Ding, The Blood Elemental Spirit''s Elemental Ascendance has reached 51 percent ''Ding, The Blood Elemental Spirit''s Elemental Ascendance has reached 51.5 percent. . . However, as time passed, the speed at which the Elemental Ascendance was rising slowed down a little. Nevertheless, it was much faster than the regr cultivation speed. "Moore¡­why did you¡­" On the other hand, Maximus looked at the Blood Pond before looking at the red-coloured light beam that hit his chest. "Without you¡­who is going to guide me?" The water swelled up in Maximus'' eyes as he held back his tears. Currently, Maximus was feeling sad, painful and lonely; however, in the next second, all these emotions converted into anger towards Ajax. "T-this is all because of you." "Huh? What?" Ajax stopped checking the system notifications when he heard Maximus''s angry shout. "If you hadn''t appeared on the Floating Ind, it would have be mine." Maximus clenched his fists as he looked at Ajax with blood-red eyes, "Heavenly Blood Tentacle, kill him." ''sh'' While saying that, Maximus cut his palm and dripped his blood in the Blood Pond. ''Gul gul gul'' When the Emperor Realm Vampire Servants jumped into the Blood Pond, the blood in the Blood Pond had already started boiling at a crazy speed. And now, Maximus, the direct descendant of the Vampire Progenitor, has dripped not one or two but dozens of blood drops into the Blood Pond. In the next second, the blood in the Blood Pond directly materialized a huge Blood Tentacle. Compared to before, this Blood Tentacle was brighter and emitted a thick blood scent. If a regr Emperor Realm was standing close to the Blood Tentacle, they would directly copse sensing the blood essence emitted by the Blood Tentacle. ''Ding, The host has received 3,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature ''Ding, The host has received 3,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature On the other hand, the feedback of Divine Essence of Nature he was receiving from the Blood Elemental Spirit directly tripled. ''Is he nning on helping me achieve 100 million units of capacity for my Divine Spirit Consciousness?'' After seeing the new system notifications, Ajax could not help but joke about it. As for Maximus''s angry words, Ajax didn''t think much about it. In this world, everythinges down to strength. If he didn''t have enough strength, he would have died long ago. Also, if he was less powerful than Maximus, he would have not hesitated to kill him and his contracted spirit beasts and elemental spirits. Since it was a war, one side had to win and the other side had to lose. Hence, Ajax didn''t think much about it and looked at the iing Blood Tentacle. [Thunderstrike Palm] Unlike before, Ajax was prepared for the iing Blood Tentacle. Before it could even reach him, Ajax injected thousands of Divine Essence of Nature to use one of his Quasi-God Grade Cultivation Techniques. ''Boom'' Even though the Palm Technique was powerful, it was stillcking as it was unable to destroy the Heavenly Blood Tentacle. Instead, it just repelled the Blood Tentacle away. "This Palm Technique is stillcking a bit." Ajax shook his head as he muttered, ''Let''s use the [Soul sher] and take care of this Blood Tentacle.'' [Thousand des Torrent] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om As soon as he thought about it, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he knew how fast the Heavenly Blood Tentacle was. So, he directly used the sword technique to slice the Blood Tentacle just like before. Even though both his [Thunderstrike Palm] and the [Thousand des Torrents] belong to the same grade, the [Quasi-God Grade], Sword Techniques are more effective in a battlepared to the Palm Techniques. Moreover, along with the assistance of Sword Dao, Legend Grade Sword and most importantly the title [Weapon Master]. The title [Weapons Master] increases Ajax''s attack power when using weapons, making it quite easy for him to slice the new Heavenly Blood Tentacle. "Do you have any other tricks left? Create a more powerful Blood Tentacle to kill him." After taking care of the Blood Tentacle, Ajax asked Maximus to create a more powerful Blood Tentacle. A powerful Blood Tentacle can be created from the Blood Pond when the Blood Essence in it increases. If the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond is very rich, then the Blood Elemental Spirit''s cultivation speed will be faster and the rate at which his Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity increases also bes faster. So, Ajax could not help but ask Maximus to do something to the Blood Pond to create a more powerful Blood Pond. ¡­. Chapter 1927 Ruler of the Floating Island (5) Chapter 1927 Ruler of the Floating Ind (5) The upgraded version of the Blood Tentacle was also easily killed by him. Hence, Ajax was confident in dealing with an even more powerful Blood Tentacle. Thus, he encouraged Maximus to use some other methods to increase the Blood Essence in the Blood Pond to create a more powerful Blood Tentacle. "Y-you are more powerful than I imagined." Hearing Ajax''s words, Maximus was furious; however, he controlled his anger because he knew he could no longer kill Ajax. "Don''t think this is over yet. I am going to take revenge for what happened today." Maximus clenched his fists as he said those words. "Huh?" When Ajax heard Maximus'' words, he could not help but frown, thinking, ''Do you think I will let you live today?'' For a brief moment, Ajax thought of taking Maximus as his contracted spirit beast as it would give him some good benefits. However, now, the other party made it look like it was Ajax''s fault for invading the Water Region. "Hey, Vampire. Stop being a child and face the consequences of your decisions." Ajax could not take it anymore and decided to snap Maximus out of his delusion. "What did you say?" Maximus became furious with Ajax''s tone. "The moment you have the goal of bing the sole ruler of the Floating Ind, you should be ready to face the loss as there will always be someone more powerful than you and me." "Most importantly, your method of defending an invasion was a fault to begin with." "Who would sacrifice their subordinates to defend an invasion?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Of course, it was inevitable to lose the lives of your subordinates during an invasion; however, you directly sacrificed without giving them a chance to fight." "You got some good subordinates who would even sacrifice themselves on your orders. If only used them in the right way along with your ess to the Heavenly Bestial Realm, the oue might be in your favour." . . . Ajax said a bunch of things that came to his mind and whatever he said, they all came from his heart. "..." On the other hand, hearing Ajax''s words, Maximus'' anger decreased a little as he started thinking about those words. ''What he said¡­they are also true.'' Maximus, for the first time in his life, agreed to someone else''s words and med himself. "Thank you." To Ajax''s surprise, he saw Maximus thank him and continued saying, "I will wait for you in the Heavenly Realm. When we meet again, I will be stronger and take my revenge for today." ''Gulp'' In the next second, Maximus collected some blood from his palms from the Blood Pond and drank it. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax saw Maximus'' entire body shine with a bright red-coloured light. "Is he escaping? Not a chance." Ajax was surprised when he heard Maximus thank him and by the time he came out of his surprise, he saw Maximus was nning to escape from here. However, how could Ajax let Maximus escape now? He knew how cold-hearted and cunning Maximus was. If Maximus escapes from here, Ajax would have to live in constant worry. If it was a regr peak of the Emperor Realm, Ajax would not have thought much about it. However, it was someone who had connections with the Heavenly Bestial Realm and given enough time, Maximus could be an invincible cultivator in the Earth Realm. When that thing happens, the first thing Maximus would do is take revenge on Ajax and his family and friends. So, there was no way Ajax was letting Maximus go alive from here. "It''s toote." On the other hand, Maximus looked at Ajax with a calm look on his face. [Celestial Void Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax was already beside Maximus and he was ready to sh Maximus''s body into half with his Soulsher. ''Dang'' However, a blood-coloured barrier appeared around Maximus that blocked Ajax''s attack. "As I said, it is toote for you to stop me." Today, Maximus has gone through many things. Currently, there was no anger or happiness on his face. He continued speaking, "The moment Moore sacrificed himself and gave his Condensed Blood Essence to me, I have be someone who could not be killed by you." "What? Can''t be killed by me?" Ajax frowned when he heard Maximus; however, he didn''t want to agree with Maximus'' words and shed at Maximus once more, only to see it was blocked again by the same Blood Barrier from earlier. "However, I will remember your words and try to change my ways." Maximus didn''t look down on Ajax as he continued speaking, "When you ascend to the Heavenly Realm if you want to live a little longer, you have to stay away from all the Blood Pces away from the Heavenly Realm. If you stay near the Blood Pces, I wille to you and take revenge for what happened today." "Anyway, it is time for me to ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm to meet my Great Grandfather." ''Swoosh'' Soon, the bright light emitted by Maximus'' body became brighter and then, a beam of bright red-coloured light came out of Maximus'' body that pierced through the sky. ''Kacha'' There was a sound of ss breaking as Ajax and everyone saw cracks appear in the sky. "I-its¡­the portal to the Heavenly Realm¡­He opened a portal to the Heavenly Realm." Among everyone present in the Water Region, Rosaline and Oberon were the most knowledgeable ones as they instantly recognized what was happening. "What? Opening a portal to the Heavenly Realm? Can a cultivator directly do that?" Ajax was shocked to hear their words as he looked at the sky with an unbelievable expression on his face. As far as Ajax knew, when a cultivator''s Divine Rules reached 100 percent awakening, they met the requirements to trigger the Lightning Tribtion. Moreover, the cultivator will be given a month to make enough preparations for the Lightning Tribtion required for the ascension. Only after sessfully going through the Lightning Tribtion, a portal to the Heavenly Realm depending on the Cultivator''s race would be opened. However, right now, the Veiled Vampire Emperor in front of him has directly opened a portal to the Heavenly Realm. So, not only Ajax, but everyone was shocked. ¡­. Chapter 1928 Ruler of the Floating Island (6) Chapter 1928 Ruler of the Floating Ind (6) "What kind of item did they use to directly open the portal to the Heavenly Bestial Realm?" While looking at the hole in the sky, Ajax suppressed his shock and wondered about the divine item used by Maximus and his servant Moore. Ajax had seen that after Moore sacrificed himself a beam of red light entered into Maximus'' body. It was the first step and in the second step, Maximus drank the blood from the Blood Pond. These are the two steps that Ajax had seen and didn''t see either Moore or Maximus use any Divine Item. However, Ajax was sure there was some divine item; otherwise, how could a portal to the Heavenly Realm open so easily? ''What if I fly through that hole? Will I ascend to the Heavenly Realm too?'' Suddenly Ajax thought of something; however, in the next second, he shook his head, ''Ascending to the Heavenly Realm has lots of restrictions and just because someone directly enters the Heavenly Realm through a hole in the sky, I can''t do the same.'' For Ajax, there were many variables involved in going through the hole in the sky. So, he didn''t dare to blindly follow Maximus. Moreover, there were still many things left for Ajax in the Earth Realm and if he wanted to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, he wanted to do it properly. ''Since the Heavenly Realms are more dangerous than the Earth Realm, ascending to the Heavenly Realms in a standard way.'' ording to the information he had, Ajax learned that there would be some rewards bestowed by the Heavens. For someone like Ajax who didn''t have any sponsor or backer in the Heavenly Realm, those rewards would be very helpful. As for Maximus, it was evident that he had someone who could take care of him in the Heavenly Realm and as for the rewards from the Heavens, Maximus didn''t care. ''Blood Pces¡­he said, right?'' From Maximus'' words, Ajax was sure that Maximus'' backer was someone who had established himself in the Heavenly Realm. ''From the looks of it, I have another enemy in the Heavenly Realms even before I ascend.'' ''Anyway, if I worry about all these things, I better just stay put in the Purple Stone World or Five Elemental World.'' Previously, it was the backer who was supporting Aveline and now it was Maximus and his backer who seemed to be even more powerful than Aveline''s backer. ''Anyway, if I worry about all these things, I better just stay put in the Purple Stone World or Five Elemental World.'' Nevertheless, Ajax knew there was no use thinking about all these things. Moreover, he had already expected such things to happen sooner orter when he decided to be the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' After Maximus travelled through the hole in the sky, the cracks started repairing themselves and in no time, it returned to its usual self. If one saw it now, there is no way they could tell that there was a portal opened to the Heavenly Realm at the ce. ''Ding, The host has received 3,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has received 2,500,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has received 2,000,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. . . . Even after Maximus ascended to the Heavenly Realm, the blood continued to boil in the Blood Pond as the Blood Elemental Spirit continued to cultivate in it. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om As for Ajax, he kept receiving the Divine Essence of Nature. However, with each passing second, the number of units of the Divine Essence of Nature he received kept decreasing. ''Ding, The host has received 100,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. After five minutes, the rate of the Divine Essence of Nature stabilized at 100000 units per second and by now, his Divine Spirit Consciousness had already reached 50 million units. As for the Elemental Ascendance of his Elemental Spirits, it had reached 95 percent and it was still rising at 0.1 percent per second. ''When I first learned about the Elemental Ascendance, I didn''t want to form contracts with more Elemental Spirits as it would only dy his Ascension to the Heavenly Realm. However, under the effects of my title [Elemental Spirit Master] and the Heavenly Blood Pond, my Elemental Spirits were very close to ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' Ajax believed that by the time the Blood Essence in the Heavenly Blood Pond waspletely absorbed, the Elemental Ascendance of his Elemental Spirits would reach 98 or even 99 percent. Of course, even if it reached 100 percent, his Elemental Spirits can''t ascend to the Heavenly Realm on their own. For them, to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, their summoner needed to pass the Lightning Tribtion of the ascension. Only then, the summoner could bring his Elemental Spirits who have awakened 100 percent of their Elemental Ascendance. ''Even though I failed to kill Maximus and even gained another powerful enemy in the Heavenly Realm, today''s gains are very good.'' For normal cultivators, having their one or two Elemental Spirits achieve the Elemental Ascendance of more than 95 percent would be a joyous moment. In Ajax''s case, it was more than 1400 Elemental Spirits that achieved the Elemental Ascendance of more than 95 percent. So, of course, he was excited, forgetting about the enemy he made for his future. ''Other than the Elemental Ascendance of my Elemental Spirits and the huge increase in my Divine Spirit Consciousness, I have also gained thest region of the Floating Ind.'' Ajax revealed an excited smile as he muttered, ''I am finally the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind.'' Even though the Spirit of the Floating Ind was yet to announce it, Ajax did not doubt it. Since Maximus ascended to the Heavenly Realm, the water region has no ruler. And Ajax is already inside the Water Region. So, obviously, he would be the ruler of the new Water Region. ''Even if the Spirit of the Floating Ind chooses someone else, I can easily take care of that small problem.'' [Congratuations to the Ruler for sessfully conquering the Water Region] [The Ruler has gained a chance to pick an item from the Reward List of the Floating Ind] Soon, Ajax received the announcement he was waiting for from the Spirit of the Floating Ind, making him reveal a satisfied smile. ¡­. Need support for my new book [Life Blood Cultivation: Starting By Extracting My Life Seed]. Chapter 1929 Negotiations with the Islands Spirit Chapter 1929 Negotiations with the Ind''s Spirit [The Ruler has gained a chance to pick an item from the Reward List of the Floating Ind] [Do you want to forfeit the Water Region''s Ruler for an additional chance to pick an item from the Reward List?] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Just like before, the Spirit of the Floating Ind asked Ajax whether he wanted to forfeit the Ex-Ruler''s treasures. ''Should I forfeit?'' Before entering the Water Region, Ajax nned to forfeit the Ex-Ruler''s treasures as he didn''t want to waste his time searching for them. However, after seeing Maximus''s ability to directly ascend to the Heavenly Bestial Realm and learning how powerful Maximus'' backer is in the Heavenly Bestial Realm, Ajax was having second thoughts. Moreover, in the battle just now, Maximus didn''t seem to use many of his treasures except for the Blood Pond. So, Ajax felt maybe he should not forfeit Maximus'' treasures and search for them for himself. "I don''t want to forfeit them. I will search for them myself." After thinking for a moment, Ajax gave his answer to the Spirit of the Floating Ind. [...] The Light Orb seemed to not expect such an answer from Ajax, making it silent for a moment. [How about an additional two chances? Adding to your reward for sessfully conquering the Water Region, you can get to pick the three items from the Rewards List] [Do you want to give up on Maximus'' treasures?] To Ajax''s surprise, the Spirit of the Floating Ind increased the reward again, trying to tempt Ajax. ''Three chances?'' Hearing that, Ajax''s eyes lit up and it would be a lie if he told he was not tempted. Even though there were only two Quasi-Divine Grade Items in the Rewards List, the remaining eight items were also treasures that Ajax could use. So, gaining another additional chance to pick the item was tempting. "No" Nevertheless, Ajax shook his head with a thought in his head, ''Since the Spirit of the Floating Ind was offering another chance, there must be something in the Maximus'' treasure trove that it didn''t want to give up.'' ''I wonder what that item is.'' With such curiosity in mind, Ajax rejected the offer of the Floating Ind''s spirit. Even if he didn''t find any treasures in Maximus'' treasure trove, Ajax was ready to gamble. At the same time, Ajax thought of something in his mind, hoping it would be true. [...] The Spirit of the Floating Ind remained for a long timepared to before, making Ajax think, ''Is this the limit?'' [The Ruler can take five items from the Rewards List. If you reject it this time, I won''t be offering another chance] This time, the Spirit of the Floating Ind directly increased his chances of picking the items from the Reward List from three to five, making Ajax quite shocked. ''...'' It was Ajax''s turn to be speechless and at the same time, he was secretly happy because he thought of this happening earlier. "I will choose five items from the Reward List." There was no hesitation when Ajax agreed to the deal proposed by the Spirit of the Floating Ind. ''Even though there might be some Quasi-Divine Treasures in Maximus'' treasure trove; however, they might not be useful to me.'' Like Aveline''s Golden Mirror of Exchange, which he was not able to use effectively because of his feud with the cultivator on the other side. Ajax was sure that there was something like that within Maximus''s treasure trove and there was no way Ajax could use it to get some useful items from Maximus'' grandfather or great-grandfather. Instead of searching for those treasures, why not get two Quasi-Divine Items along with three Special mythical-grade items that he could use for himself? This was how Ajax''s mind worked when he agreed to the deal. ''If only I knew this kind of negotiation works with the Floating Ind''s spirit, I would have tried it when I conquered the Fire Region.'' Ajax shook his head; however, he knew there was nothing he could do about it. Back then, Ajax felt it was the best deal he could get and now, he felt getting the five items from the Reward List was the best deal. [The Reward List has been prepared. Do you want to check it now?] There was no dy as the Spirit of the Floating Ind asked Ajax about the Reward List. ''Yes.'' As soon as he agreed, words made up of white smoke appeared in front of him. ¡­. 1) Celestial Elixir of Rebirth, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: Effect: Soul Orb can skip the regr procedure of creating a new body and directly gain a new Celestial Extraordinary Body. 2) Heavenly nt Essence, Special Mythical Grade Item: Effect: When consumed by the special trees, their age will be directly increased by 10000 years regardless of whether it was from 0-10000 or 90000-100000 years. 3) Evesting Vitality Pill, Special Mythical Grade Item: Effect: Increases the lifespan of a cultivator by 10000 years. 4) Divine World Seed, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: A mysterious item belonging to the Heavenly Realms that can be used to create a world inside the cultivator''s body. Effect: Upon sessfully refining it and creating a Divine World inside the body, the Divine World will unlock various abilities depending on its level. Note: It is extremely difficult to refine the Divine World Seed as it requires lots of Essence of Nature. 5) Heavenly Divine Dew, Special Mythical Grade Item: When consumed by the cultivator, it will randomly increase the awakening percentage of all Divine Rules awakened by the cultivator by a minimum of 5 percent to a maximum of 10 percent. Note: The lower the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules, the higher the increase in the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules. . . . ¡­. ''Divine World Seed? Heavenly Divine Dew?'' Before Ajax could check out all the items, his eyes paused at the fourth and fifth items. Especially, the fourth item caught Ajax''s eyes which made him wonder, ''Creating a world inside the cultivator''s body? Isn''t it the same as my Inner World?'' **** ¡­. Check out my new book [Life Blood Cultivation: Starting By Extracting My Life Seed]. Chapter 1930 Five Rewards Chapter 1930 Five Rewards ''Creating a world inside the cultivator''s body? Isn''t it the same as my Inner World?'' Looking at the information provided by the Spirit of the Floating Ind regarding the Divine World Seed, Ajax could not help but think of his Inner World. ''In the early stages of my cultivation, the Inner World has helped me greatly in quickly increasing the strength of my Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts.'' ''Even now, it is greatly helping me by letting me keep my Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits along with the Special Trees.'' Ajax muttered about the uses of his Inner World as he continued, ''From the looks of it, the Divine World I can create using the Divine World Seed seemed much more powerful than my Inner World.'' Currently, the only speciality of his Inner World was the quality of the Essence of Nature in it. It wasparable to the Essence of Nature in a Greater Human World which Ajax barely has any use for. However, if he could nurture a Divine World inside his body and unlock its abilities, it would only be helpful to him¡­at least that''s what he thought in his head. ''However, the thing is whether I can sessfully refine the Divine World Seed into a Divine World and also, whether it has any conflict with the Inner World in his body.'' Even though there were some variables that Ajax was worried about, he wanted to give it a try. ''If worsees to worse, I can just give the World Divine Seed to Father and let him refine it.'' Ajax was confident in his System''s Ability and if he was trying something risky, the System would alert him beforehand. ''Except for the Evesting Vitality Pill, I can make good use of the remaining four items.'' Ajax didn''t even finish checking out the entire Reward List and he already liked the four items. ''From the remaining five items, I wonder how many items will catch my eye.'' Even though he could only select five items from the Reward List, Ajax didn''t finalize the four items that already caught his eye. If he found better items than these four, Ajax didn''t mind changing his choices. ¡­. 6) Quasi-Divine Vein Crystal, Quasi-Divine Grade Item: Upon buying these Vein Crystals in a world, it increases the purity of the Essence of Nature to the level of a Quasi- Divine World. 7) Mysterious Spirit Beast''s Egg, Special Mythical Grade: The Spirit Beast in the egg contains the bloodline of all four Divine Beasts, the Azure Wood Dragon, the ck Water Turtle, the White Metal Tiger and the Vermilion Fire Phoenix. Note: Due to the conflict between the four bloodlines, the Spirit Beast can''tpare to the other Beasts with a single Divine Beast Bloodline. Note: As long as you can find the treasures to stabilise the four raging Divine Beast Bloodlines, the power it exhibits is much stronger than any of the spirit beasts with Divine Bloodlines. 8) Heavenly Hammer of Weaponsmith, Special Mythical Grade Item: A special hammer that increases the sess rate of creating Legend Grade Artfiacts by 100 percent and 50 percent for Mythical Grade Artifacts and one percent for Divine Weapons. Note: It chooses its owner and one of the requirements for the owner is to be a Sessful Weaponsmith. 9) Jade Nectar of Enlightenment, Special Mythical Item: A consumable cultivation resource that has a 10 percent chance of upgrading the cultivator''s profession to a Divine Profession. Note: Upon sessful upgradation, the cultivator gains the respective recipe blueprints or techniques rted to that particr profession. 10) Great World Core x 10, ¡­ Soon, the remaining five items appeared in front of Ajax and the first item in the second half of the list was surprisingly a Quasi-Divine Item. [The Ruler is lucky and gets three Quasi-Divine Items in the Reward List] Sensing his thoughts, the Spirit of the Floating Ind informed about the appearance of the third Quasi-Divine Grade item in the Rewards List. ''Even though it seems good, there are much better items than it.'' For Ajax, the Quasi-Divine Vein Crystal didn''t seem enticing and quickly checked the remaining items. Because he knew that the Spirit of the Floating Ind wouldn''t give him enough time to think through to select the items. So, as the words made up of mist appear in front of him, Ajax starts reading them and makes a rough decision whether to take it or not. In the rough decision he made, Ajax didn''t think much before eliminating it. It was because Ajax had many sources where he could cultivate with such pure Essence of Nature and if he was sessful, he would have his own Divine World inside him. Inside the Divine World, Ajax strongly believed that there would be a pure Divine Essence of Nature. ''In the second half of the Reward List, three items are enticing to me.'' Other than the Quasi-Divine Vien Crystals, the other items Ajax quickly eliminated were 10 Greater World Cores. Once he entered the Golden Demon Region, he could collect hundreds of Greater World Cores. So, wasting his opportunity to pick on it was quite wasteful in Ajax''s view. [The Ruler has one minute to choose the Five Items from the Reward List] [Failing to pick them, the Spirit of the Floating Ind will randomly pick five items from the Reward List for you] Soon, the Light Orb circled Ajax and informed him about the time limit just like always. ''Divine World Seed, Celestial Elixir of Rebirth and Heavenly Divine Dew are the must-pick items.'' Since Ajax already knew about the time limit, he didn''t waste any time as he started thinking about the choices. He didn''t have any problem picking three items after checking out the 10 times. As for the remaining two, Ajax started checking the items again. ''There is only a 10 percent sess rate of upgrading my profession with the Jade Nectar of Enlightenment, I can eliminate it.'' With that, Ajax removed another item, leaving him with three items. ''Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg'' ''Heavenly nt Essence'' and n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Heavenly Hammer of Weaponsmith'' ''From these three, I can only pick two.'' Looking at them, Aeon fell into a dilemma. **** Chapter 1931 Requirements of the Core Region Chapter 1931 Requirements of the Core Region ''Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg'' It was Ajax''s first time hearing about the four Divine Beasts and their bloodlines and the spirit beast in the egg contains all four of them. Even though having four bloodlines only made it less powerful, as long as Ajax found a solution to bnce the stability between the four bloodlines, he would have a powerful Divine Beast under him. ''From the information I gained from the Eagle Man regarding the Heavenly Realm, it is very hard to form contracts with the spirit beasts because they have already ascended and no longer want to be bound by the contract.'' Hence, Ajax believed that if he could have a contracted spirit beast with the bloodline of four Divine Beasts, it would be a good trump card for him when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm. ''Also, with my Abyssal Beast God''s Bloodline, I can increase its battle prowess by five times. So, it would be helpful to me.'' These kinds of thoughts rang in Ajax''s head when he read about the information on the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg. ''Heavenly nt Essence'' Unlike the regr nt Essence, it can directly increase the age of any special tree by 10000 years. ''Even though I can do the same with the regr nt Essence, the thing I want is this Heavenly nt Essence because it can increase the age of any special tree by 10000 years whether the tree''s age is at 10000 years or 20000 years or even 90000 years.'' When a special tree reaches 10000 years, the amount of nt Essence required to nurture a single year of the tree would be increased by 100 times. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om After 20000 years, it will be 200 times and from the 90001st year, it will be 900 times or it might be even higher. Since Ajax was nning to get 250 million drops of nt Essence and add together this Heavenly nt Essence, he would be fully confident in bringing at least one of his Special Trees to 100000 years. ''Heavenly Hammer of Weaponsmith'' Last but not least, this item¡­personally, Ajax didn''t have a use for it; however, Ajax strongly believed that he would be a Divine Grade of items in the hands of the Weaponsmith genius under him, Rurbeak, the Genius Dawrf. Using it, Ajax thought that Rurbeak might find a way to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. For Dwarves who couldn''t cultivate and could only refine weapons and artifacts throughout their entire lives, creating a Divine Weapon was the only way to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. ''Let''s skip the Heavenly nt Essence.'' After thinking for a few moments, Ajax decided to skip the Heavenly nt Essence as he backed his choice with a reason. ''ording to the information I received about the Celestial Dawn Realm, there will be lots of nt Essence in it. So, I think I can skip it.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax chose thest two rewards and informed the Spirit of the Floating Ind about his choice of selection. [The Ruler choose the following five rewards:] [1) Divine World Seed] [2) Celestial Birth of Elixir] [3) Heavenly Divine Dew] [4) Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg] [5) Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith] [The Rewards has been issued] Soon, the five rewards appeared in front of Ajax in an instant, making Aeon smile unconsciously. ''All the items in the Reward List are very valuable and Floating Ind could give them away just like that.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to use the items he just received; instead, he thought about the Floating Ind. From the beginning, Ajax knew that the Floating Ind was not simple. Just the time factor in the Floating Ind makes it a wonderful treasure. Moreover, it was even giving him more treasures that were very difficult or even impossible to find in the Earth Realm. The more Ajax thought about the Floating Ind, the more curious he became regarding it. ''Maybe I can collect more information about the Floating Ind by entering the Core Region of the Ind.'' The Floating Ind is ssified into six regions, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Metal and thest one is the Core Region. The Core Region of the Floating Ind was very mysterious and even the Ruler of the other regions were not allowed to enter it. ording to the rumour spread among the rulers of the Floating Ind, only the ruler who conquered the five regions of the Floating Ind could enter it. Since Ajax had sessfully conquered the five regions and be the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind, ording to that rumour, he gained the so-called qualifications to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind. ''So, should I enter it and test it?'' As he could not hold in his curiosity, Ajax asked the Spirit of the Floating Ind, "Can I enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind?" [The Ruler has met one of the requirements to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind] Ajax raised his brows when he heard the reply and before he could say something, the Light Orb continued to speak. [Since you are the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind, you can learn about the requirements to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind] [There are three requirements to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind. They are: ] [1) Bing the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind by sessfully conquering the Five Regions in it] [2) He should have a cultivation of Peak-level Emperor Realm Cultivation] [3) One of his Divine Rules should reach an awakening percentage of 50 percent] [Please fulfil the remaining two requirements to enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind] ''So, these are the remaining two requirements.'' Looking at the remaining two requirements, Ajax could not help but smile bitterly. All the previous rulers of the five regions of the Floating Ind have the cultivation of peak-level Emperor Realm Cultivation and given enough time, the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules would reach 50 percent. Among the three requirements, the hardest one was obviously the first requirement which needs one to be the Sole Ruler of the Floating Ind. ''Since I am far frompleting those requirements, I will just stop worrying about them and focus on the current things.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax''s eyes fell on the five items he received just now. **** Chapter 1932 Celestial Body of Heavenly Lightning Chapter 1932 Celestial Body of Heavenly Lightning Ajax was interested in knowing more about the Floating Ind and wondered whether he could find a way to gain more rewards from the Spirit of the Floating Ind. For that, he understood entering the Core Region of the Floating Ind was a must. However, since he had yet to fulfil the requirements to enter the Core Region and he was far from fulfilling them, Ajax didn''t want to waste his time on it. Instead, he decided to use the Five Items he just received. ''Snow,'' As soon as Ajax said the name, a nest on the Soul Nourishing Tree in his Inner World shone and in the next second, ahead-sized Soul Orb came out of the nest and disappeared from the Inner World. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, the same Soul Orb appeared in front of Ajax, and excitedly said, "I am ready, Master." The Soul Orb belongs to none other than Snow. Compared to before, her weak Soul Orb gradually bes bigger under the full nourishment of the Soul Nourishment Tree. Snow was patiently waiting for Ajax to provide her with the required ingredients for her new body. No matter how patient she was, Snow was longing for a new body and joining her Master''s adventures. Therefore, when she finally heard her master call her name after a long time, she could not help but be excited and leave the Soul Nest of the Soul Nourishing Tree and inform Ajax that she was ready. "I am sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, Snow." First, Ajax apologized to her and continued saying, "However, I have found a Quasi-Divine Grade Item for you that will help you create a powerful body just like how my father got it." With that thought in mind, Ajax took out the [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth]. "Master, it''s alright! I am happy that I can finally create a new body." Snow became even more excited when she got confirmation from Ajax regarding her new body creation. "This is called [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth]. As long as you touch it, it will create a Celestial Body." With a smile, Ajax gently pushed the white-coloured glowing pearl at Snow''s Soul Orb. ''Swoosh'' The moment the [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth] touched Snow''s Soul Orb, the pearl disappeared and the Soul Orb started shining brightly. ''Ding, The host has used the [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth] on his Contracted Spirit Beast''s Soul Orb. ''Ding, Congrattions. The host''s Contracted Spirit Beast sessfully created a new Celestial Body, the [Celestial Body of Heavenly Lightning]. ''Ding, The effects of the [Celestial Body of Heavenly Lightning] are not within the System''s Database; however, it might be avable once the system finishes the ongoing update. Soon, Ajax received a series of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him. ''The body creation process is this fast?'' Previously, when his father created a new body, it took him some time; however, ording to the system, she sessfully created her body in less than a second after using the [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth]. After using the [Celestial Elixir of Rebirth], a few meters around Snow''s Soul Orb was covered with a bright light, which blinded Ajax''s senses. So, he only learned about Snow''s sessful body creation from the system notifications. ''Also, do Celestial Body''s has names too?'' At the same time, Ajax was surprised to find out something new because previously, when his Father created a new body, he also awakened a Celestial Body. However, back then, the system didn''t mention the name of the awakened Celestial Body. ''Ding, When the system paused its upgrade to inform the host about the Quasi-Divine Grade Item in the Fire Region of the Floating Ind, the system''s database was partially upgraded. ''Ding, Within the partially upgraded database, the names of the Celestial Bodies have been included. ''Is that so?'' Before Ajax could ask the system why it was suddenly able to tell the names of the Celestial Bodies, the system sent a couple of notifications, informing about it. ''Ding, The host''s father has awakened the Celestial Body of Ethereal Lotus. At the same time, the system didn''t forget to inform Ajax about his Father''s Celestial Body. ''Celestial Body of Ethereal Lotus''? Is it because I used Ethereal Lotus Seed?'' Seeing the name, Ajax could guess why Aron was able to awaken that body and decided to wait until the Systempletes its upgrade to learn more about these Celestial Bodies. Since the Celestial Bodies have different names, Ajax believes that their uses are different and curious about them. Nevertheless, he had to wait until the systempleted its upgrade. ''Swoosh'' The blinding light around Snow disappeared as Ajax finally saw Snow. Draped around her slender frame is a gown crafted from pure white feathers, each one as soft as down and as radiant as freshly fallen snow. She possesses much more delicate featurespared to before and porcin skin that seems to glow with an inner radiance. As for the aura she was emitting, Ajax was shocked because it was not King Realm cultivation like his father got just after his sessful body creation. ''Even though I already knew the cultivation she would have after her new body creation is Emperor Realm, I didn''t expect her to have the peak Emperor Realm Cultivation.'' That''s right! Snow''s current cultivation was a peak Emperor Realm. "Master, I feel much more powerful than I used to be?" Just when Ajax was about to check out the full information about her, Snow spoke, "I sense that I have awakened three Divine Rules." ''Only three?'' Ajax was a little confused when he heard that. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om His father awakened five Divine Rules and since Snow''s default cultivation for her new body was the peak Emperor Realm, the pinnacle of the Earth Realm, Ajax was expecting her to have more Divine Rules. ''Let''s check her information.'' Nevertheless, Ajax quickly covered it and smiled before thinking of checking the information on her. ''Ding, The system has detected that Snow''s new body is suitable for cultivating the Quasi-God Grade Cultivation Technique. ''Ding, Do you want to transfer the information about the cultivation technique to her? **** Chapter 1933: Divine Rule of Lightning and Thunder Chapter 1933: Divine Rule of Lightning and Thunder ? Suddenly, Ajax received two system notifications, asking whether he wanted to transfer the Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique. It was a Quasi-God Cultivation Technique that Ajax received from his new contracted spirit beast, the Abyssal Drake Lord, Oberon. ording to the information he had about the cultivation technique, only the luckiest of lucky Spirit Beasts could cultivate this cultivation technique. And now, the system informed him that Snow could cultivate that cultivation technique, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. ''Snow is already powerful and she only needs to cultivate the awakening percentage of her Divine Rules to trigger the Lightning Trubtion.'' Snow''s cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Earth Realm. So, he had only one thing left to do and it was focusing on her Divine Rules. With the help of this Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique, Snow could speed up the awakening percentage of her Divine Rules. ''Since Snow''s cultivation with her new Celestial Body will be much greater than Oberon''s, I believe she would reach the 10th re-cultivation of her Spirit Consciousness faster than Oberon.'' Even though Ajax didn''t know all the effects of the Celestial Bodies, he knew about one effect and it was the cultivation speed. The cultivation speed of those who possess the Celestial Bodies would be at least 100 times faster than a cultivator who is using the same cultivation technique. Moreover, since the Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique and one of its effects includes the cultivation boost of 100 times, it would be 10000 times faster than a regr cultivator who was using a normal cultivation technique. ''It seems so might be the first one to finish the 100 percent awakening of her Divine Rules and trigger the Lightning Tribtion to the Heavenly Realm.'' In the past, Snow was much stronger than Raweth and Sparrow. However, after Snow died and barely survived as a Soul Orb, Raweth and Sparrow worked hard and along with Ajax''s cultivation resources, the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules reached 30 percent. So, Ajax was worried whether it might affect Snow''s mental status seeing her two friends who used to be weaker than her be stronger than her. However, after learning that Snow could cultivate the Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief. ''Before I transfer the Cultivation Techinuqe to Snow, let''s check her information.'' Upon sessful creation of the bodies with a special method, not only would they get Extraordinary Bodies and Cultivation, but they would also gain Special Cultivation Technique. So, Ajax was curious about the cultivation technique gained by Snow and at the same time, he also wanted to check her Divine Rules and their awakening percentage. ''Ding, Spirit Beast Name: Snow, the Celestial Lightning Eagle. Cultivation: Peak Emperor Realm. Cultivation Technique: Celestial Lightning Devouring Technique (Quasi-God). Information: A tailor-made cultivation technique for the Celestial Lightning Eagle. 1) Under normal conditions, the cultivation speed will be 10 times. 2) In Lightning and Thunder Worlds or Realms, the cultivation speed will be 1000 times. Skills: Lightning Feather st, Thunder Wing ps, Lightning Recovery,..... Divine Rules: Divine Rule of Lightning and Thunder (1 percent), Divine Rebirth Rule, (1 percent), Divine Sky Rule, (1 percent). Soon, the information about Snow appeared in front of Ajax and as expected there was a Quasi-God Cultivation Technique. ''There are two types of cultivation speed and to make full use of this cultivation technique, I need to find Lightning and Thunder rich worlds.'' The 10 times cultivation boost was not enticing for Ajax; however, the second one was great. Even the Mystic Consciousness Cultivation technique could only increase the cultivation speed by 100 times; however, Snow''s current cultivation technique could increase by 1000 times. ''It''s alright! I will let Snow use the Mystic Consciousness Cultivation Technique and only use the Celestial Lightning Devouring Technique when they enter any Lightning-rich worlds or regions.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax continued to check the skills which were quite powerful before his eyes pausing at the Divine Rules. ''T-this Divine Rules...they are all extraordinary ones.'' Ajax was shocked for a moment and finally understood why Snow awakened only three Divine Rulespared to his father who awakened five Divine Rules. Especially, the Divine Rebirth Rule...it is one of the rarest Divine Rules. As for the Divine Rule of Lightning and Thunder, it was abination of two Divine Rules, the Divine Lightning Rule and the Divine Thunder Rule. In a way, it is considered a unique Divine Rule along with the Divine Sky Rule. ''However, I am curious about the effects upon activating these Divine Rules.'' Upon focusing more on the three Divine Rules, detailed information about them appeared in front of him. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Lightning and Thunder (1 percent). Effect: All lightning and thunder-rted attacks will be boosted by two percent and damage from simr types of attacks will be reduced by 2 percent. Note: Any Divine Rules, upon activation will increase the battle prowess of the cultivators by 10 times. Skills: 1) Lightning sh: Within a radius of 100 km, the user can teleport with a single thought. 2) Thunder Screech: The user releases a powerful screech which decreases the enemies'' will to continue fighting depending on the enemies'' strength. Duration: Five minutes. Cooldown: One Month. ''Huh? Two skills with just one percent awakening?'' Ajax was a little surprised; however, when he remembered that the Divine Rule is a combination of two Divine Rules, he was no longer surprised.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It was the same with the effect of the Divine Rules; instead of one percent, it was two percent for both attack and defence. ''But what''s with such a long duration for the Divine Rule?'' The real shock came at the end when Ajax saw the duration of the Divine Rule of Lightning and Thunder. For his Divine Thunder, when it was at one percent awakening, he could keep it active for only one minute; however, Snow could use it for five minutes. ''Is it because of her new body being a Celestial Body?'' This was the conclusion that Ajax came to. ''It is going to be quite helpful when its awakening percentage increases to 20 or 30 percent.'' Ajax silently thought in his head as he looked at the other two Divine Rules which obviously made Ajax''s jaws drop. Chapter 1934: Divine Rebirth Rule Chapter 1934: Divine Rebirth Rule ? ''Ding, Divine Rule: Sky (1 percent). Effect: After activation, as long as the Spirit Beast stays in the Sky, all its battle prowess will be increased by 10 times. Attached Skill: Lord of the Sky. Skill Information: The skill can be activated through the beast''s screech temporarily decreases the battle prowess of all opponents in the sky by 50 percent. Rule Duration: One Minute. Cooldown: One Month. ''Oh. There is a condition for the effect of this Divine Rule.'' Ajax raised his brows when he read the effect of the Divine Sky Rule. Generally, all the Divine Rules, whether they are attack-type, defense-type or support, increase the battle prowess of the cultivators from 3 times to 10 times with most of the Divine Rules providing 10 times of power boost for the cultivators. Even though the Divine Sky Rule has a simr effect, however, it came with a condition...A condition where the Spirit Beast has to be in the sky. ''However, the attached skills to the Divine Rule are quite good despite having a simr condition.'' Once a cultivator or a spirit beast reached the Emperor Realm, they could fly using the Essence of Nature and most of the battles were fought in the sky. Decreasing the battle prowess of the opponents by 50 percent... means basically Snow could be considered invincible in the Earth Realm. ''There is one downside to this skill and if the opponents figure out that their battle prowess'' suppression for flying, Snow''s skill will be useless.'' Ajax silently made a mental note on how to use it effectively.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Now, the rarest Divine Rule.'' Compared to the two Divine Rules he just checked, Ajax was more curious about this rare and special Divine Rule, the Divine Rebirth Rule. ''Ding, Divine Rule: Rebirth (One Percent). Effect: When killed, the Spirit Beast can instantly revive and within the duration of the Divine Rebirth Rule, instead of a 10 times boost in her strength, she will receive a 20 times boost. Special Skill: Rebirth (Passive): Even when the Divine Rule is not active and the spirit beast is killed, she will be reborn somewhere with her memories, celestial body, and Divine Rebirth Rule along with a special blessing called Heavenly Fortune. ''T-this...it''s so powerful.'' Ajax was shocked when he read the information about the Divine Rebirth Rule and could not help but re-read it. Just the normal effect of the Divine Rebirth Rule was enough to make him shocked but the special skill...was quite powerful. All the cultivators in the universe fear death and they worry even more about dying without ascending. Even though the cultivators and the spirit beasts could preserve their Souls and create new and powerful extraordinary bodies, it is not easy to do that. Even if one could do that, it would take decades or even centuries to create a body on their own. Take Aron for example and it took more than 4000 years to create a body for himself for the first time. From this, one could tell how difficult it was to create a body without external help. ''Even with external help, it would take decades unless the helper is powerful and takes risks to get high-level cultivation resources.'' Ajax was able to help his father create a new body in a short time thanks to the system and risks he had taken; otherwise, it would have taken quite a long time to create a new powerful body. ''However, Snow can be direclty reborn with her memories intact and most importantly, she will have her Celestial Body and Divine Rebirth Rule in her new body along with Heavenly Fortune.'' Ajax felt it was a good Divine Rule that could act as a backup n for Snow. Since Ajax and Snow were bound by the contract if he dies, Snow will die along with him; however, she could undergo a rebirth with her memories, Celestial Body and other things she has in her current life. ''In short, she will be just re-cultivating in a new body without any contract with me and can have a good starting point.'' For cultivators and the spirit beasts, having a good starting point was a must. It was because things became a lot easier. As Snow goes through one rebirth after another, she would only be more powerful and the knowledge she gains in each life would only grow bigger. ''However, I must make sure not to trigger her Rebirth.'' Ajax didn''t want Snow to die and lose her and he should try his best to protect not only Snow but all his contracted spirit beasts and the Elemental Spirits. "Snow, go and understand more about your new body, Divine Rules and Skills." Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax sent Snow away before looking at the other rewards. ''Heavenly Divine Dew...I will use it once I have more Divine Rules.'' Since the Heavenly Divine Dew could increase the awakening percentage of all the Divine Rules in the cultivator''s body, Ajax nned to use itter. It was because he nned to awaken more Divine Rules, by making deals with the Sentient mes or in some other ways. "Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith." Soon, Ajax saw Raweth carrying a young Dwarf and then looked at the small hammer around the size of a fist and called, "Rurbeak,e here." "Yes, Master." The young Dwarf with a tired look on his face rushed over to Ajax. Despite the tired look on his face, he was curious and excited about why his master asked him to rush to him urgently. Of course, he knew his master wouldn''t call him without a reason. "What is your sess rate while refining the Legend Grade Weapons and Artifacts?" Ajax didn''t give the Hammer to Rurbeak, instead, he wanted to know Rurbeak''s progress on his weapon-refining skills. "80 percent, master." Rurbeak had a proud look on his tired face when he said that as he continued, "Also, I can now create Quasi-Mythical Grade Weapons." "Excellent." Ajax was shocked for a moment; however, he suppressed it and praised Rurbeak before asking him, "Rubreak, this a small gift for you for all the hard work you have been doing." ''Swoosh'' While saying that, Ajax tossed the tiny hammer to Rurbeak and the moment the young dwarf caught it, it started shining brightly. ''I knew it.'' Chapter 1935: Crazy Devouring Chapter 1935: Crazy Devouring ? Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith. ording to the information shown by the Spirit of the Floating Ind, it is an artifact that chooses its master. Rurbeak, a special dwarf known as Genius Weaponsmith could already refine Mythical Grade at a very young age. If Rurbeak was not chosen by the Heavenly Hammer of Weaponsmith, then Ajax believed there would be no one in the entire universe who was worthy to be its owner. With that thought in mind, Ajax had bestowed the Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith to Rubeak. ''Swoosh'' As he expected, the moment Rurbeak touched the Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith, it started shining with a bright light. On the other hand, Rurbeak was confused about what was happening to him; however, he felt the knowledge about refining weapons in his mind became clear. At the same time, he experienced refining thousands of Heaven-Grade, hundreds of Legend- Grade and dozens of Mythcial Grade Weapons in his mind. The enlightenment from the Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmithsted only for a few minutes; however, Rurbeak experienced 100 years in those few minutes. "Master, thank you for such a valuable gift." Aftering out of enlightenment, the first thing Rurbeak did was to thank Ajax for bestowing him with the Heavenly Hammer of Weponsmith. Along with the enlightenment, Rurbeak gained information about the weapon in his hand and knew how powerful and useful it was for him. "For your hard work, it is just a small gift." Ajax replied with a smile, "However, I am expecting some special Mythcial Grade Weapons from you. If you need the materials for refining the weapons, just ask me." "I have enough materials to refine the Mythical Grade Weapons. Once I use them all, I will ask for more." Rurbeak was not embarrassed to ask for more refining materials as he swore his loyalty to Ajax long back. The higher the weapons and artifacts he refined, the more useful he could be to Ajax. Soon, Rurbeak took the hammer and hurriedly returned to his cave abode and started focusing on refining the weapons and artifacts. ''With this hammer, I can easily refine the Mythical Grade items and refining the Special Mythical Grade Items is not out of reach'' The more Rurbeak thought about it, the more excited he became towards his new Refining Hammer. ...n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Now, it is time to hatch the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg.'' After Rurbeak left, Ajax focused on the next reward he gained. The egg was not big. It was the smallest spirit beast egg that Ajax had seen around the size of his fist. ''Unlike the regr hatching process, to hatch this egg, I need to supply it with the Essence of Nature.'' In the past, Ajax only needed to drop a single drop of his blood to hatch the spirit beast egg; however, since it is a special spirit beast egg, there was an additional requirement which was to supply it with the Essence of Nature. ''Since the beast inside the egg contains the traces of four Divine Beast Bloodlines, I am sure it can withstand my Divine Essence of Nature.'' Even though Ajax never injected the Divine Essence of Nature into the Spirit Beast Eggs, he was sure that the egg couldn''t withstand the Divine Essence of Nature and explode. However, this was not the case for the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg which reached the peak Special Mythical Grade. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax started injecting the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Huh?'' Suddenly, Ajax noticed something. The Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness was actively absorbed by the egg. However, since Ajax has lots of units of the Divine Essence of Nature, he is not worried too much about it and allows the egg to absorb it. ''At this rate, it is going to suck me dry.'' As time passed, the rate at which the egg absorbed the Divine Essence of Nature increased to 100000 units per minute. ''Little guy, even beforeing out of the egg, you are making him sweat a lot.'' Ajax wanted to remove his hand from the egg and cut off the supply of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, he was unable to move his hand, making Ajax a little anxious. ''Damn it...if I can''t remove my hand, I can only refuel the Divine Essence of Nature in my Divine Spirit Consciousness.'' Ajax didn''t know whether the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg would stop absorbing once his Divine Spirit Consciousness was empty. However, Ajax didn''t want to leave such a crucial thing to fate and decided to replenish the Divine Essence of Nature. "All the Elemental Spirits start cultivating and supply me with the Essence of Nature." First, Ajax ordered all his Elemental Spirits because thanks to his title [Elemental Spirit Master], he could take all the Essence of Nature from his Elemental Spirits. Before the invasion, Ajax was checking all his titles and thought about the hidden uses under them and the current one was one of them. As long as his 1400 plus Elemental Spirits were cultivated, Ajax could collect a good amount of Essence of Nature. ''However, it is still not enough because when the Essence of Nature was converted into Divine Essence of Nature, it became very less and could not keep up with the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg''s absorption.'' Ajax tried his best to maintain his calm and continued to think about what he could do. ''That''s right!'' Suddenly, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face as he thought about something. [Divine Jade Rule] With a thought, Ajax activated the Divine Jade Rule that boosts not only his cultivation speed but everyone around him. It was not over yet as Ajax was yet to use the main trump card. [Dargon Soaring Nine Heavens] [Divine Jade Rule - Jade Essence Burst] ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine Jade Rule. ''Ding, The cultivation speed of the host and all his 1450 Elemental Spirits has been increased by 10 times for the next five minutes. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and received 10000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, The host has received 1,450,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature from his Elemental Spirits. ''Phew.'' Looking at the system notifications, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he continued to cultivate to replenish his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ***** Starting next month, 14 chapters/week will be released. Thanks for the support. Chapter 1936: Divine Beast Chapter 1936: Divine Beast ? The Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg was like a hungry beast that starved for centuries, crazily absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature from Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. Despite getting 1.45 million units of Divine Essence of Nature per minute, Ajax still worried about unending devouring the Mysterious Egg. The Mysterious Egg is absorbing 100,000 units of the Divine Essence of Nature per minute whereas Ajax can only maintain the speed of 1.45 million units per minute for five minutes. ''Ding, Skill: Jade Energy Burst. Skill Information: When using this skill, all the cultivators around the host will experience a cultivation boost of 10 times for 5 minutes with a cooldown of 5 minutes. Duration: 30 minutes. Of course, he could use the skill three times in the duration of Divine Jade Rule''s activation period; however, if the Mysterious Egg continued to devour the Divine Essence of Nature, it would be a problem. Time continued to pass and in a sh 30 minutes passed by. During the 30 minutes, Ajax used the Jade Essence Burst three times and increased the Divine Essence of Nature in his Divine Spirit Consciousness by nearly 3 million units even after the consumption of 1.5 million units by the Mysterious Egg. ''Adding to the previous 17 million units, my Divine Spirit Consciousness still has 20 million units of Divine Essence of Nature left.'' ording to Ajax''s calctions, he could still supply the Mysterious Egg for another three hours and 20 minutes. ''I think I should continue to cultivate with all my Elemental Spirits.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he remained in his position and continued to cultivate. Without the effects of the Divine Jade Rule and the Jade Essence Burst, Ajax was able to gain 145000 units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Even though I can maintain the supply, I can''t sit here continuously and cultivate forever, right?'' ording to his ns, Ajax had to leave the Floating Ind as soon as the Celestial Dawn Realm was about to open. Moreover, before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm, he nned to enter the Trading Realm to collect the items hemissioned before entering the Five Elemental World to convert the 100 dying Old Cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators. In short, he was running out of time and hoped that Mysterious Egg would stop devouring more Divine Essence of Nature. Time continued to pass and seven days passed by in the Floating Ind; however, the Mysterious Egg didn''t show any signs of stopping its crazy devouring. One month.... six months....one year....five years. Ajax and all his Elemental Spirits continued to cultivate while taking asional breaks of an hour or two once every month. In his entire life, Ajax had never cultivated for this long without proper breaks, making Ajax slowly lose interest in cultivating. However, worrying about the consequences of depleting his entire Divine Spirit Consciousness, Ajax and his Elemental Spirits continued to cultivate. Compared to Ajax, the Elemental Spirits were not frustrated much because they were born with an inbuilt mechanism of cultivating forever. The life of an Elemental Spirit in an Elemental Spirit World was to wait for a good summoner forever while cultivating despite knowing they can''t increase their cultivation without a contract. Of course, the Elemental Spirits from the Elemental Spirit World connected to the Floating Ind were different but still, they needed to form a contract to increase the percentage of their Elemental Ascendance. ''Ding, The Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg has received enough energy to hatch. ''Kacha'' The moment that Ajax was frustratingly waiting for, has arrived as he received the system notification followed by a crisp sound from the Mysterious Spirit Beast Egg. ''I-its...finally stop devouring.'' The cracking sound of the egg was so pleasant to Ajax''s ears as he finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Everyone, you can stop cultivating and rx." At the same time, he ordered all his Elemental Spirits to rx while he kept his focus on the Mysterious Egg. Hearing Ajax''s words, the Elemental Spirits revealed excited looks as they flew away. ''Kacha'' ''Swiish''n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Screech'' The cracks on the Mysterious Egg grew bigger and soon, an eagle head poked out of the egg. ''Another eagle?'' Among Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts, there were lots of Eagles. 11 Devouring Eagle Emperors, the Celestial Lightning Eagle and now another eagle-type spirit beast poked its head out of the egg. ''Looks like I have an affinity with the Eagle-type spirit beasts.'' Ajax didn''t bother about having the same type of spirit beasts as he was going to make them powerful anyway. ''Kacha'' ''Huh?'' Soon, Ajax noticed a lion''s paw force its way out of the egg, making Ajax frown. It didn''t take much time for the beastling inside the Mysterious Egg toe out as Ajax finally saw its real appearance. It was not an eagle nor a lion; instead, it was a Griffin. It has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion with two featherless wings on its back. Due to its size being only around a human head, the hatchling looked cute, making Ajax unconsciously touch it. ''Ding, The host has hatched a Divine Griffin and directly formed a contract with it. ''Ding, Divine Beast: Divine Griffin (Hatchling). Master: Ajax. Strength: Rank 1 Divine Beast (Sealed). Note: However, it can use the strength of a peak Emperor Realm Spirit Beast. Skills: 1) Divine Devourer: The Griffin can absorb the Divine Energy from all kinds of beings, and items to increase its strength. 2) Divine Healing: Using the Divine Energy inside its body, a Divine Griffin can heal and even regenerate itself as long as its heart is intact. 3) Divine Feedback: The Divine Griffin never takes anything for free as it would give back one-tenth of what it received to its master. Information: A Divine Beast that is said to bring luck to its master. Even if no special cultivation resources were provided, it would eventually be a Divine Beast Emperor given enough time. Bloodlines: 1) Divine Dragon Bloodline (1 percent). 2) Divine Tiger Bloodline (1 percent). 3) Divine Phoenix Bloodline (1 percent). 4) Divine Turtle Bloodline (1 percent). Note: Once the bloodline percent increases to 100 percent, a respective bloodline belonging to that particr bloodline category will be unlocked. Note: As for how to increase the percent of those bloodlines, the host has to figure it out on his own. Before he could even ask, Ajax received the system notifications which showed the Divine Griffin''s information.[Congrattions to the Cultivator for hatching a Divine Beast in the Earth Realm. You can choose one of the following rewards] Soon after, Ajax heard the familiar tone of the Heavens, asking him to pick a reward. Chapter 1937: Heavenly Rewards Chapter 1937: Heavenly Rewards ? ''Heavens? Picking a reward?'' Ajax was already shocked by the information about his new Contracted Spirit...Divine Beast and now, even the Heavens aremunicating with him. It was not Ajax''s first time hearing the Heavens'' Voice. In the past, he was able to quickly raise his proficiency in Alchemy and be an Alchemy Emperor with the help of the Enlightenment from the Heavens. Back then, he used an eternal item, the Profession Upgrade Crystal; however, now, the Heavens congratted him on their own. Moreover, it was asking Ajax to pick one of the rewards. ''I wonder what my options are.''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ajax silently thanked the Heavens while waiting for the options for his rewards. ''Swoosh'' [Pick one of the rewards from the following] [Enlightenment in Divine Spirit Cultivation], increases the divine spirit cultivation. [Enlightenment in Divine Body Cultivation], increases the divine body cultivation. [Enlightenment in Profession], increases the knowledge rted to all the professions that the cultivator learned. [Enlightenment in Divine Rule], increases the awakening percentage of all the Divine Rules awakened by the cultivator. Soon, Ajax heard the four options in his head with brief information about the rewards. ''Enlightenment? It''s a trademark of the Heavens.'' Ajax was not surprised by the rewards because what is Heavens known for? To asionally enlighten the lucky cultivators Since the enlightenment was from the Heavens, Ajax knew the increase in the Divine Spirit Cultivation and the Divine Body Cultivation would be top-notch. ''Should I select Divine Spirit Cultivation?'' It''s been a while since Ajax''s Divine Spirit Cultivation got stuck at the low-level Emperor Realm. So, he felt a little tempted to choose the first option. Even though he could break through to the mid-level Emperor Realm in his Divine Spirit Cultivation, it would take at least two more months in the Earth Realm''s time. ''If my Spirit Cultivation can increase, the capacity of the awakening percentage of my Divine Rules will increase to 50 percent.'' Among the seven Divine Rules that Ajax had awakened, three of them had already awakened 30 percent and he had enough resources to increase their awakening percentage; however, it is the limit of his current cultivation. So, he felt choosing the Divine Spirit Cultivation would make him very powerful. It was the same with the Divine Body Cultivation; however, ording to the system''s information, a mid-level Divine Body Cultivator could withstand 60 percent of awakening for his Divine Rules. ''It was even more tempting than the Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' The first two options greatly tempted Ajax; however, he tried to stay calm and think more about the pros and cons. ''[Enlightenment in Profession] is the worst reward for me. So, I can eliminate it without thinking much.'' Currently, Ajax has only one profession and it is Alchemy. In the Alchemy, Ajax had already reached the Alchemy Emperor and gaining more knowledge in the same profession might make him a Divine Alchemist or Heavenly Alchemist. ''I can''t even find a single Divine Grade Fruit in the Earth Realm. What use will it be if I have the knowledge but can''t find the ingredients to refine?'' In the long term, it is definitely a good thing; however. Ajax wanted to focus on the present and quickly be as powerful as possible. ''Even though both Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation are good, I can only increase the awakening percentage of Divine Fire Rule, Divine Dark Rule and Divine Jade Rule. What about the other Divine Rules?'' Just because having a higher capacity of the awakening percentage for the Divine Rules doesn''t make Ajax very powerful. What Ajax really wanted was to be powerful and at the same time, increase the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules that he was unable to increase the awakening percentage. For example, there is the Divine nt Rule and Divine Death Rule. Ajax had only awakened them and they remained at 1 percentage of awakening. He didn''t have any specific cultivation resources to increase their awakening percentage. ''Although Divine World Cores can increase their awakening percentage, I need many Divine World Cores. Moreover, I still need them for my Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' After doing a lot of thinking, Ajax finally decided on his reward. ''I will choose Enlightenment in the Divine Rules.'' ording to the brief exnation of the rewards, the Enlightenemnt in the Divine Rules will increase the awakening percentage of all his Divine Rules. As for exactly how much percent they would increase, Ajax had no clue about it. It was the same with the other rewards too. Increase in the Divine Spirit Cultivation, Divine Body Cultivation, Knowledge in the professions....it was a vague exnation. So, Ajax patiently waited to see whether he made the right choice or not after using the Enlightenment of the Divine Rules. [The Cultivator has chosen the Enlightenment in his Divine Rule] [Please be prepared] As soon as these words resounded in his ears, a bright light fell on Ajax from the heavens. ''Swoosh'' Time continued to pass as Ajax stood without moving from his ce basking in the Heavenly Light from the Heavens. ''What? The Enlightenment is over just like that?'' After one hour, Ajax finally opened his eyes; however, he felt it was only a minute. Nevertheless, Ajax hurriedly opened the User Interface to check the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules. ''Ding, From the enlightenment, the awakening percentage of the host''s Divine Rules has increased by 50 percent. ''Ding, After the enlightenment, the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules are as follows: 1) Divine Thunder Rule (30 percent) (30 percent seal). 2) Divine me Rule (30 percent) (58 percent sealed). 3) Divine Dark Rule (30 percent) (50 percent sealed). 4) Divine Death Rule (30 percent) (21 percent sealed). 5) Divine nt Rule (30 percent) (21 percent sealed). 6) Divine Jade Rule (30 percent) (50 percent sealed). 7) Divine Demon Rule (30 percent) (40 percent sealed). ''What? 50 percent of increment for each Divine Rule?'' Ajax was expecting a generous reward from the Heavens; however, the enlightenment reward was more generous than he expected. ''At this rate, as long as I break through to the Mid-level Emperor Realm, my Seven Divine Rules will have more than 50 percent of awakening.'' Thinking about it makes Ajax excited. **** Support my other book [Life Blood Cultivation: Starting By Extracting My Life Seed]. Chapter 1938: Sentient Inner World Chapter 1938: Sentient Inner World ? With the Enlightenment in his Divine Rules, each one of his Divine Rules had an increment of 50 percent in their awakening percentage. Generally, for regr cultivators with a bit of talent, it would take at least 1000 years to achieve that. However, Ajax achieved that in a few seconds and if word gets spread about it, those cultivators would die with jealousy. "The full credit for such an achievement goes to the Little Griffin." Ajax picked the Griffinling from the ground and caressed its fur, which the little beast enjoyed. "Just bying out of the egg, you have given me such a huge gift. I am looking forward to your future gifts." ording to the information he received from the system, the Divine Griffin repays the help it receives through its skill [Divine Feedback]. So, Ajax was really excited about the little griffin''s growth. "I can''t call you Little Griffin all the time. So, I will name you, Lucky, the lucky spirit beast that gives pleasant surprises to its master." At the same time, Ajax gave a name which the Divine Griffin didn''t mind as it waspletely immersed in the pleasureing from caressing its fur. "I wonder what I should feed it with?" Spirit Stones were out of the equation because the energy contained in a Spirit Stone was very little and Ajax had to feed it millions or even tens of millions of Spirit Stones every day. ''Divine Essence of Nature? For now, I don''t think I am hungry.'' Even though Ajax knew he could feed it the Divine Essence of Nature, he didn''t want to go through another forceful cultivation session in case the Divine Griffin absorbed the Divine Essence of Nature from Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness on its own. Moreover, it had already consumed nearly 5 billion units of the Divine Essence of Nature.N?v(el)B\\jnn Hence, after thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to wait for some time before feeding it with some Special mythical-grade fruits or something simr. ''After this enlightenment of the Divine Rules, I think the Heavenly Divine Dew is wasted.'' After putting the Divine Griffin in his Inner World, Ajax thought about one of the Five Rewards he picked earlier. With Heavenly Divine Dew, a cultivator can increase the awakening percentage of all his Divine Rules from 5 percent to 20 percent depending on the awakening percentage of the existing Divine Rules. Now, Ajax''s all Divine Rules have an awakening percentage of more than 50 percent and the Heavenly Divine Dew''s effects will be greatly reduced. ''Never mind, I will be awakening more and more Divine Rules. At that time, I can use the Heavenly Divine Dew.'' Since Ajax was nning to solve the Myth of ''Ascension through 100 Sentient mes'', he could easily get more Divine Rules. Thus, Ajax didn''t think too much about it and focused on the remaining item from the list of 5 rewards. ''Divine World Seed.'' Looking at the small golden-coloured seed in his hands, Ajax muttered, ''As long as one consumes this seed, they can create a Divine World inside their body.'' Since Ajax already had an Inner World, in his body, Ajax was a little worried about the consequences of consuming it. "So be it. Even if I lose my body, I can create a new one." If it was in the past, Ajax would have not taken such a risk; however, by nurturing the Soul Nourishment Tree for 12000 years, Ajax stopped worrying about his death as his soul would bepletely safe. With apletely intact soul, creating a body was even more easy and Ajax could easily let his contracted spirit beast find the required ingredient for his new body. Moreover, there is still his father and even Snow, who would go to any lengths to help Ajax create a new body. ''I don''t think such things happen.'' Of course, Ajax didn''t want to go through all that process and believed that such things wouldn''t happen. That''s the reason why he was willing to directly consume the Divine World Seed. ''Gulp'' Ajax no longer wasted any time as he directly tossed the Divine World Seed into his mouth. ''Ding, The host has consumed a Divine World Seed. ''Ding, The Divine World Seed has entered the same space in which the host''s Inner World is situated. ''Ding, The Divine World Seed is slowly transforming into a Divine World. It is a time-consuming process. ''Ding, Please wait while the Divine World Seed transforms into a Divine World. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax, making him pleasantly surprised. ''So, I will have two worlds in my body? The Inner World and The Divine World.'' Thinking about it, Ajax could not help but feel happy. The Inner World has apanied him from the start of his journey and of course, he wanted the Inner World to stay in his body forever. So, hearing the system notifications, Ajax was obviously happy; however, the very next moment, he received a series of system notifications that made Ajax quite shocked. ''Ding, The Inner World sensed the appearance of the Divine World Seed and felt an unknown threat from it. ''Ding, The Inner World feels that the newly arrived seed is slowly transforming into a world and threatens its existence in World Space. ''Ding, The Inner World tried absorbing the Divine World Energy emitted by the Divine World Seed. To its surprise, the Inner World was able to absorb it. ''Ding, Moreover, the Inner World felt that the Divine World Energy was not only delicious but it is helping it grow bigger. ''Ding, After understanding the benefits of the Divine World Energy, the Inner World became greedy and started devouring the Divine World Energy crazily. ''Ding, On the other hand, the Divine World Seed felt the disappearance of the Divine World Energy and could tell who was stealing its Divine World Energy. ''Ding, However, the Divine World Seed was yet to transform into a world. So, it was unable to do anything to the Inner World other than speeding up the process. ''T-this...when did the Inner World be sentient?'' Chapter 1939: Balancing Divine World Energy Chapter 1939: Bncing Divine World Energy ? After reading the back-to-back system notifications, Ajax could tell that the Inner World gained sentience. Everything in this world gains sentience as long as it absorbs the Essence of Nature for centuries depending on purity and other factors. However, how long has it been since he awakened the Inner World? ''Moreover, if it gained sentience, why didn''t it bother revealing itself to me?'' Another question popped up in his head, making Ajax quite confused. ''Ding, Whenever the host used the World Cores to increase his cultivation, the excess World Energy from the World Cores was absorbed by the Inner World, leading to its partial sentience in such a short time. ''Ding, As for why it didn''t bother to reveal itself, it was yet to form its full sentience. ''Ding, Currently, the Inner World has only awakened its partial sentience and it was threatened by the sudden appearance of the Divine World Seed. ''Ding, Hence, it was trying its best not to get devoured by the Divine World produced by the Divine World Seed. ''Oh. So, it was like that.'' Ajax nodded his head in understanding and felt a little sad for Inner World. Inner World was with him from the beginning and helped quite a lot; however, his causal action of swallowing the Divine World Seed is now threatening its existence. ''I don''t want my Inner World to be swallowed by the Divine World created by the Divine World Seed.'' Even though his Inner World devoured the Divine World Energy released by the Divine World Seed, it was absorbing less than 10 percent. As for the remaining 90 percent, it was condensing around the Divine World Seed and if the process continues, it won''t take much time for the Divine World to condense. Once that happens, the first thing the Divine World would do is to devour the Inner World. Although it was obviously a good thing for Ajax, he felt ufortable after learning that the Inner World had gained sentience. ''Without the sentience, I would have not thought twice about it and let the Divine World consume the Inner World; however, now, I don''t want to.'' No matter what kind of benefits he would get by letting the Divine World consume the Inner World, Ajax was not interested in giving up the Inner World that stayed with him when he was weak and helped him in many ways. Starting from providing the pure Essence of Nature to him and his Contracted Spirit Beasts and Elemental Spirits to letting him nt the special trees. His contracted Spirit Beast, Elemental Spirit became powerful and helped him be even more powerful. As for the special trees, they provided him with various fruits and special abilities that made Ajax stop worrying about Death. ''System, can I help the Inner World in absorbing more Divine World Energy?'' Ajax wanted to help; however, he didn''t know exactly how he could do that. Hence, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, The host can enter the Inner World and start cultivating in it. ''Ding, Not only will the host get the pure Divine Essence of Nature but your Inner World can also absorb the Divine World Energy directed towards your Divine Spirit Consciousness Form.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''However, it is quite a waste for me to absorb the Divine World Energy which will be converted into Divine Essence of Nature.'' Although it was helpful to his Inner World, this kind of approach was quite wasteful in Ajax''s mind. For him, getting the Divine Essence of Nature was not a big deal; however, if he absorbs the Divine World Energy that gets converted into the Divine Essence of Nature by his Divine Spirit Consciousness, he is wasting an important opportunity. The efficient way for the Divine World Energy to either get used by the Divine World Seed or Inner World as their grade might be increased with it. If Ajax takes the Divine World Energy, he would be taking an opportunity from both the Divine World Seed and the Inner World. ''Wait a second.'' As Ajax racked his brains for a solution, his eyes fell on the Divine Griffinling that was licking its paws and yawning, indicating that it was about to sleep. ''To increase the rate at which the Inner World absorbs the Divine World Energy, I have to pull more Divine World Energy towards it.'' Ajax silently muttered, ''Since the Divine Griffinling can absorb all kinds of energy, it might also absorb the Divine World Energy.'' ''This way, even though it won''t increase the benefits of the Inner Worldpared to when I cultivate myself in the Inner World, at least the Divine Griffinling can increase its strength.'' When this thought came to Ajax''s head, he became excited as he continued, ''If I am lucky, I might receive another pleasant surprise from the Divine Griffinling through its skill [Divine Feedback].'' Of course, Ajax was not expecting another enlightenment because it was almost impossible to get such rewards unless the Divine Griffinlin breakthroughs to Rank 2 Divine Beast. However, the chances of happening such a thing are zero. Thus, Ajax was happy even if he got small rewards and since it was [Divine Feedback], even the smallest reward might make Ajax quite satisfied. "Lucky." With a thought, Ajax sent the Divine Griffinling into the Inner World. ''Swoosh'' As a Divine Beast, its body automatically absorbs the avable essence of nature and currently, within Ajax''s world space, there is Divine World Energy. Naturally, the Divine World Energy was slowly but steadily absorbed by the Divine Griffinling. It might be slow ording to the cultivation speed of a Divine Beast; however, for Inner World, the speed at which it was absorbing the Divine World Energy has increased from 10 to 25 percent. Only 25 percent of Divine World Energy was able to retain the Divine World Seed for the condensation of the Divine World. The remaining 50 percent of the Divine World Energy was being passively absorbed by the Divine Griffin. ''I wonder, whether the Divine World Seed can still create a Divine World with such a low retention of the Divine World Energy?'' Chapter 1940: Divine Inner World (1) Chapter 1940: Divine Inner World (1) ? By bncing the rate of condensation of the Divine World Energy by the Divine World Seed with the absorption of the Divine World Energy by the Inner World, Ajax was no longer worried about the Inner World. However, he wondered whether the Divine World Seed could still create a Divine World with only 25 percent of Divine World Energy. ''It''s alright! With the absorption of the Divine World Energy, I am sure the Inner World will upgrade to the Divine World.'' Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried too much about it; instead, he was happy. Not only the Inner World won''t be devoured by the Divine World condensed by the Divine World Seed but it will even upgrade itself to be a Divine World. Since the Inner World was already a world, with 25 percent of Divine World Energy, Ajax was confident that it would directly evolve into a Divine World. ''I hope the Divine World Seed will condense a Divine World. Even if it doesn''t condense a full Divine World, I am happy as long as it condenses a Quasi or Partial Divine World.'' With Ajax''s future achievements like ascending to the Heavenly Realm, he was confident in finding items rted to the Divine World Energy to make the partial Divine World condensed by the Divine World Seed into a perfect Divine World. Time continued to pass and the Divine World Energy was continuously released by the Divine World Seed. The Inner World continued to absorb 25 percent of Divine World Energy whereas the Divine Griffinling, with thergest profiteer of the trio, was absorbing 50 percent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Of course, it was passively absorbed by the Divine Beast and Ajax was curious about what happens when the Divine Griffinling actively absorbs the Divine World Energy from the outside. Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t dare to make the Divine Beast actively cultivate when it was inside the Inner World. On the other hand, in the World Space inside Ajax''s body, there was a second world, emitting a golden aura, looking quite divine. Compared to the Inner World, the second world was very small, around one-tenth of the Inner World and Ajax was sure that the second world was far from fully condensing into a world. As for the Inner World, by absorbing 25 percent of the Divine World Energy, it already started emitting the Divine Aura. Compared to the current state of the second world, the Inner World looked more Divine, giving Ajax a feeling that the Inner World was not far from bing a Divine World. ''The Divine World is still releasing the Divine World Energy and from the looks of it, the Inner World is really going to be a Divine World at this rate.'' Ajax was happy with the changes in the World Space because everything was going ording to his expectations. At the same time, Ajax''s eyes fell on the Divine Griffinling and wondered whether it would give him another surprise for giving him 50 percent of the Divine World Energy required to condense a Divine World. ''I am sure the Divine Feedback won''t disappoint me.'' This was the thought in his head as he patiently waited for his Inner World to be a Divine Inner World. Time continued to pass and in a sh an hour passed by as Ajax finally received the system notification he was waiting for. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully upgrading your Inner World into a Divine World. Excited! Ajax didn''t waste any time and took a look at the Divine Inner World. ''T-this...it''s size got reduced.'' Compared to the Inner World''s original size, the Divine Inner World''s size was only half, making Ajax frown. ''Let''s enter the Divine Inner World.'' With a thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness entered the Divine Inner World. ''Swoosh'' ''T-this...'' The moment he entered the Divine Inner World, Ajax felt the pure Divine Essence of Nature rush into his body, giving him quite a scare because he felt he was attacked by some kind of soul attack. ''Ding, The host has entered the Divine Inner World. ''Ding, While he stays in the Divine Inner World, his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form will passively absorb 100 units of the Divine Essence of Nature per minute. To give him a clear understanding of the purity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World, the system sent two more notifications, making him reveal an excited smile. 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature per minute. It means in a day, it will be 144000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per day. It might not look too much after Ajax dealt with millions of units of Divine Essence of Nature recently; however, things change when the word ''Passive''es into the picture. These 144000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per day will be absorbed by Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness without doing anything. All he had to do was stay in the Divine Inner World. ''I wonder how many units of Divine Essence of Nature I will get if I actively cultivate in the Divine Inner World?'' Ajax was curious about it and wanted to give it a try; however, he had other important things to check in the Divine Inner World. Therefore, he thought to check his active cultivation speed after he took care of them. ''The special trees...they are rapidly growing.'' The most obvious change in the Divine Inner World was the special trees that Ajax was nurturing in the Divine Inner World. After the Inner World upgraded into the Divine Inner World, the Special Trees connected to the Inner World were also affected. ''Ding, All the Special Trees in the Divine Inner World are rapidly growing. ''Ding, The [Tree of Blessing] has reached 100000 years and awakened a new Tree Ability and bore a new fruit. . ''Ding, The [Soul Nurturing Tree] has reached 100000 years and awakened a new Tree Ability and bore a new fruit. ? There were back-to-back system notifications in Ajax''s head that only increased his excitement and happiness. Chapter 1941: Divine Inner World (2) Chapter 1941: Divine Inner World (2) ? ? ? ''Ding, The [Standard World Tree] has reached 100000 years. ''T-this...'' The three Special Trees in the Inner World have shockingly reached 100000 years and awakened new abilities and new fruits. Ajax was expecting the rapid growth of the special trees in his Inner World after it evolved into a Divine Inner World. However, still, he didn''t expect them to reach the whopping 100000 years, making Ajax quite shocked. Amidst his excitement, Ajax became a little sad that the Standard World Tree reached 100000 years without a Greater World Core. When the Lesser World Tree was about to reach 10000 years old, Ajax used a Normal World Core to evolve it into a Standard World Tree and he knew the same method could be used when the Standard World Tree was about to reach 100000 years old. It required a Greater World Core for the Standard World Tree to evolve into a Higher World Tree and now, he missed that opportunity. ''Ding, With the absorption of the Divine World Energy, the [Standard World Tree] has evolved into a Higher World Tree awakened a new Tree Ability and bore a new fruit. ''Ding, The Higher World Tree bore a special fruit to show its gratitude towards the host''s careful nurturing. Suddenly, Ajax received another two system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised and the least bit of his disappointment disappeared without a trace. ''It looks like I did the right thing by letting the Inner World absorb more Divine World Energy.'' Looking at the benefits he received from upgrading the Inner World into a Divine Inner World, Ajax could not help but heave a sigh of relief at his decision. No matter what one says when they say they don''t regret their actions if it leads to a loss, it was a damn lie. Hence, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief because the three Special Trees reaching 100000 years were already the greatest benefit to him. Of course, it was only one of many benefits that Ajax received from the Divine Inner World. ''Ding, The Celestial Lotus Tree has reached 1000 years bore its first fruit and awakened its first ability. At the same time, Ajax saw a small tree in the center of the Thunder Pool that had white- coloured lotus leaves. He knew it was the Celestial Lotus Tree that Ajax nted not long ago.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om When other Special Trees grew from 10000 years to 100000 years, the Celestial Lotus Tree only reached 1000 years. ''No wonder it is a Quasi-Divine Grade Tree.'' Of course, Ajax knew why it was so difficult to nurture the Celestial World Tree and it was because of its grade. ''Let''splete the observations of the Divine Inner World before focusing on the special trees and their fruits and abilities.'' Ajax was not in a hurry to check the changes in his special trees; instead, he wandered around the Divine Inner World. The Elemental Paradises and Bestial Paradises in the Inner World disappeared and Ajax guessed that they might have integrated into the Divine Inner World. ''Let''s feel the Divine Inner World.'' As the owner of the Inner World, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness Form could connect to the Inner World and during that form, nothing misses his eyes. Hence, Ajax thought of connecting with the Divine Inner World, wondering whether he could do it or not. ''Swoosh'' All it required for Ajax was a single thought and in the next second, his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form was connected to the Divine Inner World. ''A Divine World Core?'' The first thing that caught his eye was a Divine World Core in the center of the Divine Inner World. Previously, Ajax wanted to use the World Cores to upgrade the Inner World; however, there was no World Core inside it, making Ajax stop trying anything crazy with the Inner World. However, with the appearance of the Divine World Core inside the Divine Inner World, Ajax knew that he could now directly feed the Divine World Core with the world cores to upgrade it. ''Using Smaller, Normal and even Greater World Cores is used but still, I can give it a try.'' Before that, Ajax asked the system, ''System, give me the details of the Divine Inner World.'' ''Ding, World Name: Divine Inner World. Grade: Rank 1 Divine World (o percent). Effects: 1) Speed up the growth of the Divine nts and Divine Beasts by 10 percent. Divine Trees: Celestial Lotus Tree (Rank 1). Divine Beasts: Divine Griffin (Rank 1). Note: The more Divine Beasts and Divine Trees in the Divine Inner World, the faster the progress of the world towards its next rank. As soon as Ajax asked, the system replied with the information about the Divine Inner World. There was not much information on the Divine Inner World; however, there were some things that gave a pleasant surprise to Ajax. ''Interesting...so, having more Divine Beings will speed up the Divine Inner World''s progress to its next rank. It looks like I have to find a way to get more Divine Beings.'' Ajax knew it was very hard to get his hands on the Divine Beings; however, there was no harm in keeping an eye on them. Moreover, he was able to get a Divine Beast and a Divine Tree, so, Ajax thought as long as he looked in the right ce, he might find some things. ''Let''s see how much the World Cores will increase the progress of the Divine Inner World.'' Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax took out three grades of World Cores namely: Smaller, Normal and Greater. ''Swoosh'' With a thought, his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form disappeared from the Divine Inner World and appeared in the core realm of the Divine Inner World. That''s right! With the appearance of the Divine World Core, there exists the Core Realm and with Ajax''s experience of entering and exiting the Core Realm, he carefully reached the Divine World Core, floating in the center of the Core Realm. ''I don''t have any hopes that these World Cores are much help to the Divine World; however, I hope there will be at least the tiniest bit of progress towards the Rank 2.'' Chapter 1942: Divine Plans Chapter 1942: Divine ns ? ''Ding, The host has used a Smaller World Core and increased the progress of the Divine Inner World towards Rank 2 by 0.1 percent. ''Ding,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The host has used a Normal World Core and increased the progress of the Divine Inner World towards Rank 2 by 0.5 percent. ''Ding, The host has used a Greater World Core and increased the progress of the Divine Inner World towards Rank 2 by 1 percent. ''What?'' As soon as the Smaller, Normal and Greater World Cores were absorbed by the Divine World Core, Ajax received the system notifications, which made him quite shocked. Even though the Smaller, Normal and Greater World Cores only increased by 0.1, 0.5 and 1 percent respectively, it was still much higher than what Ajax expected. Ajax thought that as long as the progress of the Divine Inner World towards the Rank 2 Divine World increased by 0.1 percent from all three world cores, he would be happy. However, it increased by 1.6 percent towards the Rank 2 Divine World. So, how could Ajax not be shocked by it? ''I only need 100 Greater World Cores or 200 Normal World Cores or 1000 Smaller World Cores to upgrade the Divine Inner World to Rank 2.'' When he heard about it, Ajax became excited and without wasting any time, Ajax took out another batch of Smaller, Normal and Greater World Cores. ''Ding, The host used Smaller World Core....increased by 0.01 percent. ''Ding, The host used Normal World Core....increased by 0.05 percent. ''Ding, The host used Greater World Core....increased by 0.1 percent. ''T-this...'' Looking at thetest progress for each type of World Core, Ajax understands that he celebrated too early. Actually, Ajax already guessed that it wouldn''t be very easy to upgrade the Divine Inner World to Rank 2 Divine World; however, when ites to World Cores being used to upgrade the World Cores, their effect remains the same. ''It''s alright! I was not expecting much from these World Cores anyway.'' Soon, Ajax went back to his initial feeling of the World Cores and was satisfied with the initial progress provided by the World Cores. ''It looks like the fastest way to upgrade the Divine Inner World''s rank would be through the Divine World Energy.'' Ajax remembered how the Inner World was able to be a Divine Inner World after absorbing the Divine World Energy released by the Divine World Seed. So, he thought that as long as he got his hands on the Divine World Energy, upgrading the Divine Inner World to the next rank would be a piece of cake. ''Divine World Energy....wait a second...what if I use the Divine World Core?'' Suddenly, Ajax remembered the Divine World Core in his storage ring that he kept to convert his Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Ding, The Divine World Seed has condensed a Partial Divine World (81 percent). Just as he took out the Divine World Core, Ajax received the system notification informing him about his second Divine World. ''Damn...what am I doing?'' All of a sudden, Ajax realized what he was doing and hurriedly kept the Divine World Core back in the storage ring. Although for current Ajax, getting Divine World Cores was no longer a problem; however, for that, he needed to make a trip to the Golden Demon Territory. Currently, he didn''t have the luxury to go to the Golden Demon Territory to extract the World Cores because the Celestial Dawn Realm would be opening soon. Once Ajaxpleted his exploration of the Celestial Dawn Realm, he nned to kill the Celestial Dawn Sect Leader and the moment hepleted that mission, he would get 10 Divine Grade Spirit Fruits. With them, Ajax nned to convert his Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. Therefore, he needs to keep the Divine World Core with him because, without it, Ajax needs to wait for a few more days. ''No matter how much I want to increase the rank of the Divine Inner World and create the Second Divine World, it can''t bepared to converting his regr spirit cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Ajax knew exactly what he should prioritise at his current state and it was obviously the cultivation. As long as he converts his Spirit Cultivation, there might be a slight increase in the capacity of the awakening percent of his Divine Rules, making him even more powerful. ''Also, to break through to the mid-level Divine Spirit Cultivation, I should first convert to Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' Ajax silently thought to himself and took a deep breath to calm himself. ''Let''s check the changes in the Divine Griffinling before checking out the Special Trees'' new abilities and fruits.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax exited the Core Realm of the Divine Inner World and flew to the Divine Griffinling. ''Ding, Divine Beast: Divine Griffin (Hatchling). Strength: Rank 1 Divine Beast (25 percent). ''25 Percent....not bad.'' By absorbing the Divine World Energy from the Divine World Seed, the Divine Griffin has benefitted a lot. With another 75 percent of Divine Energy, it could be a rank 2 Divine Beast. ''I wonder whether I can upgrade it to rank 2 before I ascend to the Heavenly Realm.'' Since Ajax had already found out that the Divine World Cores contained the Divine World Energy in them, he decided to use those World Cores to increase the strength of the Divine Beast. ''Focusing on the Divine Inner World will give instant benefits; however, increasing the Divine Beast''s strength will give great benefits after ascending to the Heavenly Realm.'' The reason why Ajax was trying to nurture the Divine Griffinling was because after he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, he would no longer be a powerhouse who could protect himself. In such situations, having a rank 2 or if possible rank 3 divine beast would be of great help and protection to him. ''Once I take care of the Celestial Dawn Sect Leader, I should enter the Golden Demon Territory and collect the World Cores.'' Chapter 1943: Soul Regeneration Fruit Chapter 1943: Soul Regeneration Fruit ? For Ajax getting the world cores was no longer an issue; however, the problem was it required time and currently, Ajax was running short on time. Nevertheless, once he took care of his most important things, Ajax nned to get lots of world cores and merge them into Divine World Cores before focusing on the Divine Inner World and the Divine Griffinling. ''Let''s put aside these thoughts and focus on the Special Trees.'' Soon, Ajax stopped thinking about the World Cores and flew toward the Special Trees. Compared to before, there were not many changes in the three Special Trees, the Tree of Blessing, the Soul Nourishment Tree and the Higher World Tree. They have grown much bigger and the branches of these trees were reaching the Partial Divine World created by the Divine World Seed. The aura emitted by them also changed and if a normal cultivator stands close to these special trees, they would be suppressed by the auras released by these trees. ''System, let''s start with the Soul Nourishment Tree.'' Ajax was not interested in the changes of the Special Trees; instead, he was more interested in their new abilities and the new fruits bore them. Therefore, he didn''t waste any time and directly started checking the information on the Special Trees starting from the Soul Nourishment Tree. ''Ding, Tree Name: Soul Nourishment Tree (Alma). Age: 100000 years. Basic Effect: It nourishes the souls of all beings that stay close to the tree and strengthens them over time. Fruits: Soul Protection Fruits, Soul Strengthening Fruits, Soul Regeneration Fruits. Abilities: Soul Nourishment, Soul Nest, Soul Devour, Soul Clone (New). Except for a new type of fruit and a new ability, there were no changes in the Soul Nourishment Tree. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Soul Regeneration Fruit. Grade: Quasi-Divine. Effect: Upon consuming it, no matter how badly one''s soul was injured, it will be rapidly regenerated to its peak condition. Note: The fruit bears once every 100000 years. ''A Quasi-Divine Fruit. As expected of a special tree that reached 100000 years.'' Ajax was not surprised to see a Quasi-Divine Grade Fruit and reading its effects, he was thoroughly satisfied. Among all types of injuries, injuries to the soul are hard to recover from and it''s a time- consuming process. However, with the Soul Regeneration Fruit, even if the Soul of a Cultivator is injured by 99 percent, by eating it, the Soul can be rapidly recovered to the peak state. Hence, the Soul Regeneration Fruit is an extremely valuable fruit that would make the entire universe go after Ajax if they learnt that he was carrying it. ''I am umting more and more soul-rted cultivation resources thanks to the Soul Nourishment Tree.'' For others, finding the soul-rted cultivation resources was difficult; however, Ajax had already umted so many since he started nurturing the Soul Nourishment Tree. And now, the Soul Regeneration Fruit is added to those collecting, making Ajax quite satisfied. ''Ding, Ability Name: Soul Clone. Effect: Upon using it, the Soul Nourishment Tree can split a portion of the Soul from the cultivator and create a Soul Clone. Note: Depending on the portion of the soul split from the main body, the strength of the Soul Clone will be determined and the duration it stays in the world. ''Finally, I can start creating clones.'' Ajax knew sooner orter, that one of his Special Trees could awaken such a skill and when he finally saw it, he could not help but be excited. ''What''s more, the power of the creator soul is directly rted to the portion of my soul I use to create it.'' At first, Ajax didn''t think of creating a powerful Soul Clone to engage in battles; instead, he wanted a clone to do some chores for him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om For instance, if he had a clone that has his abilities like extracting the World Cores from the Core Realm, he wouldn''t have to waste his time travelling to the Golden Demon Territory. Instead, he could just send his Soul Clone and let it bring the World Cores to him. ''However, thanks to the Soul Regeneration Fruit, I can go all out in creating a powerful soul clone.'' When he thought about the Soul Regeneration Fruit that could rapidly regenerate the soul to its peak state, Ajax thought of something crazy. ''Without a doubt, the process will be painful; however, as long as I endure it and create a soul clone, it is worth it.'' Ajax didn''t think much about it and decided to go through the hellish pain now and enjoy the benefitster. Moreover, since Ajax was nning to undergo body tempering with many more Sentient mes, going through this pain would only make him stronger. Therefore, Ajax decided to start the process right away. "Alma, activate yourtest ability to create a Soul Clone for me." Alma is the name that Ajax had given to the Soul Nourishment Tree and as soon as he gave the order, one of the branches of the Soul Nourishment Tree shook. ''Swoosh'' ''Master, how much portion of your soul do you want to use in creating your soul?'' Ajax heard the Soul Nourishment Tree''s voice in his head asking him about the portion of the soul he was willing to sacrifice in creating his Soul Clone. "What is the maximum percentage of my soul I can sacrifice in creating my Soul Clone?" Although Ajax already had a specific percentage in mind, he wanted to get some confirmation from the Soul Nourishment Tree. Hence he asked about it. ''99 percent.'' The Soul Nourishment Tree continued, ''Since Master already collected the Soul Regeneration Fruit, he can use it to rapidly regenerate the sacrificed portion of the soul.'' "Excellent...I was thinking the same." Ajax nodded his head as he was already thinking the same because only by using arge portion of his Soul, he could create a Soul Clone that has a high battle process but it would take longer in the world. Since there is a duration for the Soul Clones, Ajax wanted a Soul Clone that couldst in this world as long as possible. ''Create it.'' Soon, Ajax gave the permission and in the next second, he fell to his knees because of the unbearable pain. Chapter 1944: Soul Clone Chapter 1944: Soul Clone ? ''Aargh'' Among all the pains that Ajax went through in his life until now, today''s pain will take the first ce. No matter how much Ajax prepared for this, he could not bear the pain and clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure. His mind stopped working and he started regretting the decision of choosing to create a Soul Clone with 99 percent of his soul. No matter how daring a cultivator is, he won''t use 99 percent of his Soul in creating a clone; however, Ajax wanted not a clone but another him who could not only do chores for him but he should also assist him in the battle. Before he chose the option of using 99 percent of his soul in creating the Soul Clone, Ajax guessed that the Soul Clone he created using 99 percent of his Soul would have 99 percent of his battle prowess which was equivalent to his own battle prowess. Therefore, he was excited about it and decided to endure the pain no matter how painful it would be. However, right now, he realized that the pains he had gone through in the past were notparable to the ones he was going through. ''Ding, Detected the host in a pain that was beyond what he could endure. ''Ding, The [Higher World Tree] has decided to share half of the host''s pain. ''Swoosh'' Followed by the two system notifications, the unbearable, soul-piercing pain that Ajax was going through has lessened, making Ajax finally able to think. ''T-this...I have to think carefully from now on regarding matters rted to the soul.'' Finally, Ajax understood why the Souls is considered a delicate subject. ''T-this pain...it''s making me go crazy.'' Even though the pain had lessened, it was still within the range that Ajax could barely endure and it was making Ajax quite frustrated. ''[Higher World Tree], once I receive the nt Essence from the Special Trading Realm, I will give you half of it.'' While enduring the pain, Ajax looked at the Higher World Tree in the distance that was sharing his half pain and could not help but promise it. ''T-thanks, master.'' The Tree Spirit of the Higher World Tree has transformed into a young and beautiful woman after reaching 100000 years. Hearing Ajax''s words, she shuttered a little while thanking him. Ajax knew that she was also barely enduring the pain and didn''t disturb her anymore as they both continued to endure the pain. Soon, Ajax sensed that he was losing consciousness and upon thinking, he knew exactly what was happening. He was not losing consciousness because of the pain; instead, it was a side effect that came with losing his 99 percent of soul. ''Swoosh'' Nevertheless, Ajax tried his best to stay awake but eventually fell asleep. As for the soul-shing pain, it was still there; however, Ajax no longer felt anything with his 1 percent remaining soul. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the transparent being was pulled out by one of the branches of the [Soul Nourishment Tree]. Upon its rapid nurturing, the transparent being started transforming into a real being that looked just like Ajax. ''Swoosh'' At the same time, another branch of the [Soul Nourishment Tree] flew to the unconscious Ajax with a bright green-coloured fruit. ''Kacha'' Suddenly, a thin branch pierced through the Soul Regeneration Fruit and extended into Ajax''s body, acting like a straw. Soon, the Soul Regeneration Fruit lost all its lustre and dried up as all the energy inside it, entered Ajax''s body and started regenerating his soul rapidly. No matter how fast it was, it took an entire mouth in the Floating Ind for Ajax to gain consciousness. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for creating a Soul Clone with the host''s battle prowess of 99 percent. ''Ding, The Soul Clone can use all the Divine Rules and Official Skills of the host. ''Ding, However, it has only permanent simple intelligence. As soon as he woke up, Ajax received a series of system notifications regarding his Soul Clone that was sitting beside him as though it was waiting for him to wake up. Seeing him wake up, the Soul Clone hurriedly stood up and waited for Ajax''s orders. Ajax was not surprised that his Soul Clone could use the Divine Rules because he had already expected that. "Go to the Golden Demon Territory and collect the World Cores from all the worlds that were about to die." Without wasting any time, Ajax gave the mission to his Soul Clone. Ajax had already ordered his subordinate, the new Golden Demon Emperor, to evacuate the Demons living in the world that was about to be destroyed. And in the entire territory, there were quite a lot of them and it would take a while for his Soul Clone to collect them. Nevertheless, Ajax was not worried about the time as he already had a Divine World Core to convert his Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. So, Ajax didn''t mind his Soul Clone taking a bit of time to return; however, he wanted as many World Cores as possible. "Yes." The Soul Clone nodded his head and was ready to leave the Floating Ind; however, it couldn''t leave the Floating Ind on its own. But, Ajax, as the ruler of the Floating Ind, he could send anyone out of the Floating Ind with a single thought and sessfully sent his Soul Clone. --- ''Swoosh'' The Soul Clone appeared on the tform of the Greater Metal Human World and met with the Human Metal Emperor. Since the Soul Clone has basic intelligence, it only spoke with the Metal Emperor for a few moments before returning to the Five-Elemental World. From the Five Elemental World, there was a teleportation center connecting to the Golden Demon Territory. So, the Soul Clone didn''t waste any time and fully focused on his mission of collecting the World Cores from the Golden Demon Territory. ... "Since Collecting the World Cores problem is being taken care of, it is time to check out then/o/vel/b//in dot c//om other Trees." In the Floating Ind, Ajax became excited as he focused his attention on the remaining Special Trees in his Divine Inner World. Chapter 1945: Ability: Elemental Spirit World Chapter 1945: Ability: Elemental Spirit World ? ''Ding, Tree Name: Tree of Blessing (Grace). Age: 100000 years. Basic Effect: The elemental spirits can offer their elemental essence and receive some blessings from time to time. Fruits: Elemental Ascendance Fruit, Elemental Blessing Fruit, Divine Elemental Fruit. Abilities: Spirit Sanctuary, Spirit Blessing, Elemental Transformation, Elemental Spirit World. Soon, the information about the [Tree of Blessing] appeared in front of Ajax; however, he focused on the new fruit and the new ability. ''Ding, Fruit Name: Divine Elemental Fruit. Grade: Quasi Divine Grade. Effect: When an Elemental Spirit consumes this fruit, the [Elemental Ascendance] of that Elemental Spirit transforms into [Divine Elemental Ascendance]. Note: It can only be consumed by the Elemental Spirits. ''After these special trees reached the 100000 years, all the fruits bore by them reached Quasi- Divine Grade.'' Ajax focused his attention on the grade of fruit and after learning it was a Quasi-Divine Grade, he concluded that ''At this rate, if I can nurture these Special Trees to one million years, I am sure these trees will transform into Divine Trees and the fruits bore by them would be Divine Fruits.'' Ajax knew it wouldn''t be easy to nurture the Special Trees for one million years; however, if it was easy, then everyone in the Earth Realm could nurture the Divine Trees. ''System, can you tell me more about this [Divine Elemental Ascendance]?'' Ajax could roughly guess what it was; however, having more clear information on the [Divine Elemental Ascendance] was not a bad thing, right? Hence, he asked the system about it. ''Ding, [Elemental Ascendance] is for the Elemental Spirits to trigger the tribtions to ascend to the Divine Realm alongside their Summoning Master. ''Ding, However, if an Elemental Spirit can awaken the [Divine Elemental Ascendance], then it would no longer have to worry about the ascension. ''Ding, Once the [Divine Elemental Ascendance] reached 100 percent, they could no longer trigger the tribtion; instead, they could directly ascend to the Heavenly Realm along with its master. ''Ding, In case, the summoning master of that particr Elemental Spirit fails his ascension, even in that case, the Elemental Spirit can abandon the Summoning Master and freely ascend to the Heavenly Realm if it wants. Soon, there were a series of system notifications, exining the [Divine Elemental Ascendance]. ''Holy...is it short for the Elemental Spirits to directly ascend to the Heavenly Realms?'' Every being in the Earth Realm has to go through tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Whether it was a human, a demon a spirit beast or an Elemental Spirit...it doesn''t matter. However, if the Elemental Spirit awakens the [Divine Elemental Ascendance], they could skip the process of going through the tribtion and freely ascend to the Heavenly Realm. The only downside to it was that the Elemental Spirit had to wait until the Summoning Master triggered the tribtion to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Whether he was sessful or failed in his tribtion, it won''t affect the Elemental Spirit that awakened the [Divine Elemental Ascendance] as it could enter the Heavenly Realm. ''And, the Divine Elemental Fruit could help the Elemental Spirit convert their [Elemental Ascendance] into a [Divine Elemental Ascendance].'' Ajax was happy to see the effect of the Divine Elemental Fruit and felt it was pretty useful. With the number of Elemental Spirits under Ajax, his tribtion to the Heavenly Realms would be very big. Even though Ajax was already making preparations for this and was pretty much confident in passing the tribtion, it was still better to decrease the intensity of the tribtion if possible. With this single fruit, Ajax could let one of his Elemental Spirits avoid the tribtion to the Heavenly Realm. ''It looks like I need to put special focus on the Tree of Blessing and let it break more [Divine Elemental Fruits].'' Ajax silently made a mental note in his head and looking at the Divine Elemental Fruit, he fell into a dilemma. ''Which Elemental Spirit should I give this [Divine Elemental Fruit]?'' Even though he wanted to store it for now, the effects of the fruits decreased no matter how carefully they were stored. Therefore, Ajax wanted to use it as soon as possible. "Necros, eat it." After thinking for a moment, Ajax decided to give the fruit to the Dark/Undead Elemental Spirit. ording to Ajax, the tribtion to the Heavenly Realm depends on the strength and skills of the ascender and among all his Elemental Spirits, Necros has some heaven-defying skills. So, he wanted to let Necros freely ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Necros didn''t hesitate to take it and ate the fruit and sat cross-legged to absorb the effects ofn/?/vel/b//in dot c//om the fruit he ate. As for Ajax, he checked out the [Tree of Blessing]''s new Ability. ''Ding, Ability Name: Elemental Spirit World. Effect: There is a huge world inside the [Tree of Blessing] that can let the Elemental Spirits connected to it enter into it. Note: Inside the Elemental Spirit World, the Elemental Spirits can enjoy a cultivation speed of 10 times. Note: There is a 10 percent chance that the Elemental Spirits'' [Elemental Ascendance] transform into [Divine Elemental Ascedance]. Note: By staying inside this Elemental Spirit World, the Elemental Spirits have their transparent form transformed into a physical form over time. ''T-this...it has the effects of all the previous abilities of the [Tree of Blessing] along with the effects of the fruits it bears.'' After reading the full information on the [Tree of Blessing''s] new ability, Ajax was pleasantly surprised. ''For other summoners, a 10 percent of transforming the [Elemental Ascendance] into [Divine Elemental Ascendance] might be less; however, for me, it is very high.'' With more than 1400 Elemental Spirits, Ajax could let at least 140 Elemental Spirits gain the [Divine Elemental Ascendace] and if he waited long, he might have 280 or even 420 Elemental Spirits have their [Elemental Ascendance] converted into [Divine Elemental Ascendance]. ''As expected of an ability at 100,000 years, it is truly powerful and useful.'' The more Ajax learnt about his 100000 years old special trees, the more excited he was for thest special tree, the Higher World Tree. Chapter 1946: Higher World Tree Chapter 1946: Higher World Tree ? ''Ding, Tree Name: Higher World Tree (Zoe). Age: 100000 years old. Fruits: 1) Higher World Furit (One per every 10000 years). 2) Eternal World Fruit (One per every 5000 years). 3) Special Evolution Fruit (Whenever the World Tree sessfullypletes an evolution) Note: 1) The Higher World Fruit contains a random treasure that is definitely a Mythical Special Mythical Grade or even Quasi-Divine Grade.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ability: 1) World Enhancement: The Divine Essence of Nature inside the Inner World will be two times purer than a regr Rank 1 Divine World. 2) Mother of Worlds: For every 10000 years, the Higher World Tree can give birth to a random Normal World that will be merged with the Inner World to increase its progress to the Rank 2 Divine World. Note: The worlds formed before evolving into the Higher World Tree are converted into World Cores. Smaller World Cores: 8. 3) Queen of Trees: All the trees in the same world as the Standard World Tree will require 50 percent less time and resources to grow. 4) Essence Reservoir: It collects 10 percent of the Essence of Nature or Divine Essence of Nature and instantly transfers it to the selected being''s Spirit consciousness. umted Fruits: 1) Standard World Fruit x 8. 2) Eternal World Fruit x 16. 3) Special Evolution Fruit x 1. Soon, the full information about the Higher World Tree appeared in front of Ajax andpared to the other two Special Trees, there were many changes in this tree. ''After the evolution, not only it gave me a Special Evolution Fruit but even its Standard World Fruit has transformed into a Higher World Tree.'' Whenever the World Tree reaches a specific age like 10000 or 100000 years and undergoes an evolution, it would give a special fruit to Ajax for nurturing them with a huge amount of cultivation resources. It is called Special Evolution Fruit which helped Ajax in the past and he still has great expectations from it. After the evolution, the World Tree won''t bear the Standard World Fruits but Higher World Fruits which was nothing surprising for him. However, what surprised Ajax was the changes in the Higher World Tree''s abilities. All tree abilities have changed. ''World Enhancement no longer makes his Inner World around the size of the Greater World but it makes the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World purer.'' Compared to the previous one, Ajax liked this new World Enhancement because who doesn''t like a pure Divine Essence of Nature? ''Now [Mother of Worlds] produces the Normal Worlds instead of Smaller Worlds and these would be directly merged with the Divine Inner World to increase its progress.'' Ajax had a bright smile on his face as he continued, ''As long as I nurture the Higher World Tree, then it will increase the progress of the Divine Inner World''s rank.'' Although a Normal World doesn''t help much in the progress, if more and more Nomral Worlds merge into it, there would definitely be good progress. ''Moreover, it even converted the previous Smaller Worlds into Smaller Worlod Cores.'' The effect of Smaller World Cores might have decreased on Ajax; however, for the other cultivators in the universe, they are still useful. ''The [Queen of Trees] has undergone a drastic change.'' Ajax read the third Tree Ability''s information which used to decrease the nurturing time and cultivation resources by 20 percent but now, it is 50 percent. ''Even though the difficulty of nurturing the Special Trees has greatly increased after they reached 10000 years, with this ability, I am saving a lot of cultivation resources.'' Ajax was really happy with the changes in the Higher World Tree as he looked at the new ability that was unlocked after the Standard World Tree evolved into the Higher World Tree. ''10 percent of the Divine Essence of Nature?'' Since the Higher World Tree is growing in the Divine Inner World that was filled with the Divine Essence of Nature, the ability mainly focuses on the Divine Essence of Nature. 10 percent of the Divine Essence of Nature of the Divine Inner World...how much it would be? Currently, Ajax''s Divine Inner World is a Rank 1 Divine World and with Ajax''s knowledge, he knew that the Divine Worlds are the worlds that are only in the Heavenly Realms in which the Ascended Beings would reside and cultivate. Now, Ajax could get 10 percent of the entire Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World...how could Ajax be not shocked and excited about it? ''Ding, The 10 percent of the Divine Inner World''s Divine Essence of Nature is enough to fill the host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness of 60 million units capacity, more than 1000 times. ''Holy Heavens.'' Seeing the sudden system notification, Ajax was shocked and when he thought about it, he felt it was normal for a Rank 1 Divine World to have that much Divine Essence of Nature. ''It looks like I don''t have to worry about the Divine Essence of Nature forever.'' Ajax could not help but joke about it. Actually, Ajax really needed a huge amount of the Divine Essence of Nature to help his new followers be the Divine Body Cultivators. There were 100 old dying cultivators and each required 5 million units of Divine Essence of Nature, which means 500 million units. But with the Higher World Tree''s new ability, he no longer has to worry about the Divine Essence of Nature and help all his friends and followers turn them into the Divine Body Cultivators. "Zoe, as I promised, I will put more focus on nurturing you in the future." Earlier, when he was creating his Soul Clone, the Higher World Tree shared his 50 percent of pain and he made a promise then. Ajax, once again reassured that he would keep his promise before walking to a small tree in the Thunder Pool. It was none other than the Celestial Lotus Tree, which was nurtured from Quasi-Divine Grade Seed. ''Ding, Tree Name: Celestial Lotus Tree. Grade: Rank 1 Divine Tree. . ''What? Divine Tree?'' When Ajax read the grade of the Celestial Lotus Tree, he was shocked and his eyes shone brightly when he saw a White-Coloured Furit that had a Golden Halo around it. Chapter 1947: Divine Spirit Cultivator Chapter 1947: Divine Spirit Cultivator ? Golden Halo around something means it was a Divin Item...at least that''s what Ajax believed. What''s more, ording to the system, the Celestial Lotus Tree has be a Divine Tree. ''When I sowed the seed, it was only a Quasi-Divine item but it became a Divine Tree now.'' Ajax was still unable to believe what he was seeing and muttered, ''Is it because of the Inner World bing Divine Inner World?'' Even though Ajax didn''t know much about things rted to the Divine Grade Items, he had gained a basic understanding. For example, his Official Skills and the skills and cultivation Techniques he received from the Blessing Refining Technique were all Quasi-Divine Grades. However, ording to the system, when he ascends to the Heavenly Realm, they would be Divine Grade Skills and Cultivation Techniques. So, Ajax guessed that the thing that was stopping the Celestial Lotus Tree from bing a Divine Tree was the world it was nted in. Since the Inner World has be Divine Inner World, there was no longer anything that stopped the Celestial Lotus Tree from bing a Divine Tree as it could finally absorb the Divine World Energy from its roots. ''The same rule can''t be applied to the other Special Trees because they were not the Divine Trees to begin with and have to work harder to reach that grade.'' As Ajax thought about it, he felt his assumption was right.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ''Anyway, who cares about that when there is a Divine Tree in front of me?'' Ajax wanted to directly pluck the Divine Fruit hanging on one of the branches of the Celestial Lotus Tree; however, he suppressed it and focused on the information about the Celestial Lotus Tree disyed by the system. ''Ding, Tree Name: Celestial Lotus Tree. Age: 1000 years old. Grade: Rank 1 Divine Tree. Divine Fruits: Star Lotus Fruit, eating it will help the cultivator increase the speed of his cultivation techniques rted to the Start and Water attribute by 10 percent. Note: The Celestial Lotus Tree bears this fruit every 10000 years. Divine Ability: 1) Celestial Healing (Passive). Ability Information: Those who rest under the shade of the Celestial Lotus Tree will have their physical and soul injuries. Note: Staying under the Tree for long periods might even heal the broken Divine Spirit Consciousness of the Divine Cultivators and the effect even works on the Divine Spirit Beasts and Divine Demons. ''A Divine Fruit and a Divine Ability.'' Since the Celestial Lotus Tree is a Divine Tree, the fruits bore by it would be Divine Fruits and the abilities it had will be Divine Ability. ''Although the effects of the Star Lotus Fruit are not useful to me, who has the system, I need a Divine Fruit to convert my Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation.'' One of the reasons why Ajax was excited to see the ''Divine'' status of the Celestial Lotus Tree was for this reason. It''s been a while since his cultivation has stuck at the Low-level Emperor Realm and even though he could increase his cultivation, he was trying to be a Divine Spirit Cultivator instead of a Regr Spirit Cultivator. ''The Divine Ability is useful as it lets my Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts heal their injuries after the battles.'' Ajax knew that from here on, he would be going through a lot of battles and having the [Celestial Healing], he didn''t have to worry about the injuries of his Summons. Even though it mentioned only healing Physical and Soul Injuries, Ajax could tell that it would heal even the severe injuries because it was not a regr ability but a Divine Ability. ''Anyway, it is finally time to convert my Spirit Cultivation.'' Putting aside all his thoughts, Ajax decided to finally convert his Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. After plucking the Star Lotus Fruit, Ajax sat cross-legged under the Celestial Lotus Tree to heal his minor Soul Injuries after the creation of the Soul Clone. ''Phew'' Ajax took a deep breath and calmed himself before eating the Star Lotus Fruit. Star Lotus Fruit, looks like abination of a Star and a Lotus; however, there were no lotus petals. ''Kacha'' ''Gulp'' It was not big, only the size of an adult fist as Ajax finished the fruit in three gulps. ''Swoosh'' Just as he finished eating the Star Lotus Fruit, it melted right away and converted into Divine Energy much denser and purer than the Divine Essence of Nature in Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''Swoosh'' The Divine Energy rapidly travelled to all parts of his body and tempered them, leaving a golden hue on them. The excess Divine Energy inside Ajax''s body was released through the skin pores and tempered Ajax''s external body. While the internal and external tempering of Ajax''s body was going on, his entire body emitted a bright golden light and if someone saw him now, they would think that he was a Divine Being. Time continued to pass and in a sh, more than three hours passed by the Divine Inner World as Ajax opened his eyes which shone with golden light in them for a moment before disappearing. Unlike the Divine Body Cultivation, the entire process of Divine Spirit Cultivation was smooth and there was no pain at all. Instead, Ajax felt that he was rxing in a hot spring after a tiring day, making him like this conversion process of Regr Spirit Cultivation into Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully converting the Regr Spirit Cultivation into the Divine Spirit Cultivation. ''Ding, The benefits of bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator. They are: 1) A Divine Spirit Cultivator''s battle powers will be ten times more powerful than the regr Spirit Cultivator. 2) A Divine Spirit Cultivator''s Soul bes indestructible and could live on forever by reincarnation (Easy) or by constructing a new body (Hard). 3) All the Elemental Spirits both official and unofficial ones, will follow the Divine Cultivator''s Soul and enter into a Hibernation until they are provided with enough Divine Essence of Nature. 4) The host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity will be upgraded to 100 million units. 5) The sess rate of ascending to the Heavenly Realm increased by 5 percent. Chapter 1948: Requirements for Mid-level Divine Spirit Emperor Chapter 1948: Requirements for Mid-level Divine Spirit Emperor ? Looking at the five benefits shown in front of him for bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator, Ajax smiled. Among the five, Ajax already knew the first three which were shown by the system alongside the requirements to be a Divine Spirit Cultivator. However, thest two benefits were a real surprise for Ajax. ''Thanks to the Blood Pool from the Veild Vampire Emperor, the capacity of my Divine Spirit Consciousness has increased to nearly 60 million and now, it once again increased by 40 million units.'' As the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness increased, Ajax knew how difficult it was to increase. So, the increment of 40 million units of capacity in his Divine Spirit Consciousness was a good benefit. ''Also, thest benefit, a 5 percent increase in the sess rate of ascending...it looks like when I ascend to the Heavenly Realm, I don''t have to worry about failure.'' Previously, Ajax consumed some Special Mythical Pills that increased his sess rate of ascension by 10 percent. His low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation increased his sess rate of ascension by another 10 percent. Now, the low-level Emperor Realm Divine Spirit Cultivation added a 5 percent sess rate. ''Ding, Stacking all the effects along with the host''s powerful Divine Spirit Consciousness, even if the host doesn''t use any defensive moves during the Lightning Tribtion, his chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm is 40 percent. ''40 percent? So high.'' It might seem very low; however, it was a percentage where Ajax did nothing and let the Lightning Strikes from the Lightning Tribtion fall on his body. If Ajax used his skills in blocking and healing, his sess rate would easily double and it might even reach a whopping 90 percent. Which cultivator in the entire universe has such a high sess rate? Moreover, Ajax''s cultivation was still at a low-level Emperor Realm in both the Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation. If he could increase his cultivation further, his chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm would drastically increase. ''System, show me the requirements for bing a Mid-level Emperor in my Divine Spirit Cultivation?'' After calming himself, Ajax was ready to check the requirements for the next level in his cultivation. So that he could make preparations for the breakthrough. ''Ding, The requirements for bing a low-level Emperor Realm Divine Spirit Cultivator are: 1) Divine Spirit Consciousness with one million units of Capacity. 2) Consume 11 Divine Grade consumable fruits. 3) 11 Divine World Cores. In no time, the system sent the requirements for Ajax. ''T-this...'' However, looking at the three requirements for the next level in his cultivation, Ajax''s jaws dropped. ''The first requirement was easy but the remaining two requirements.....it was very difficult.'' To get a single consumable Divine Grade Fruit, Ajax had to wait for quite a while and if not for his Inner World bing Divine Inner World, he would have not still been a normal low- level Emperor Realm Cultivator. Now, the mid-level Emperor Realm requires him to 11 Divine Grade Fruits along with 11 Divine World Cores. Although the 11 Divine World Cores were difficult for others, for Ajax, it was not a big issue. But 11 Divine Grade Fruits waspletely out of his reach. ''Wait a second...the exchange from the Celestial Orb of Exchange.''N?v(el)B\\jnn Suddenly Ajax remembered the mission about killing the Sect Leader of the Celestial World Sect. ''As long as Iplete that mission, I can get 10 Divine Grade Fruits.'' With that, Ajax felt a little rxed because he believed that as long as he worked hard for some time, he might get his hands on a single Divine Grade Fruit. ''However, the thing I am most worried about is how many Divine Grade Fruits will be required for my High-level Emperor Realm in the Divine Spirit Cuiltvation?'' ''And, how many Divine World Cores do I need to prepare?'' Just thinking about that made Ajax rub his head, "Forget it. I will just go with the flow and worry about the mid-level Emperor Realm for now." Worrying about the High-level Emperor Realm when he was still a Low-level Emperor Realm will only make Ajax tense. So, he decided to forget about it. ''Also, there is something wrong with the first requirement.'' Among the three requirements for his Mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivation, Ajax had alreadypleted the first one. One of the rewards he received for bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator was an increment of 40 million units of Divine Spirit Consciousness capacity. However, the next level requirement is asking him to have only one million units of Divine Spirit Consciosuness''s capacity. ''Unless the effect ispletely unrted to me, bing a Divine Spirit Cultivator.'' Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and concluded, "It must be the hidden effects of consuming the Star Lotus Fruit." As a Divine Fruit, the Star Lotus Fruit is extremely beneficial to the Ascended Cultivators, not to mention Ajax, who was still far from ascending. ''I wonder whether the other Divine Fruits can also have a simr hidden effect or different.'' Ajax was curious about it; however, there were no Divine Fruits to test. So, he could only wait until he finished the Assassination Mission and get the Divine Fruits from the Celestial Orb of Exchange. ''Anyway, the good news is I became a Divine Spirit Cultivator and my battle prowess will be increased by 10 times.'' Even before he could be a Divine Spirit Cultivator, Ajax was able to kill the powerhouses with 50 percent awakening in their Divine Rules. Now, his battle prowess has been increased by 10 times and even without using the Divine Rules, Ajax believed he could kill Aveline and Maximus. ''The returns from this trip to the Floating Ind are huge. Now, it is time to leave.'' Ajax thought back to the things he gained and could not help but smile and at the same time, his eyes shone brightly because he was finally leaving the Floating Ind. "With my current strength, I can no longer worry about hiding my transactions with others." Ajax chuckled a little and with a thought, he excited the Floating Ind. Chapter 1949: Generous Gift Chapter 1949: Generous Gift ? Originally, Ajax nned and was allowed to stay for only seven years, which is equivalent to seven days in the universe time. However, he became the ruler of a region and there was no longer any limit on his stay. Moreover, he could enter and leave the Floating Ind whenever he wanted. ''Even though I was able to be the sole ruler of the Floating Ind, I can''t move the Floating Ind.'' That''s right! If possible, Ajax was to move the Floating Ind and connect it to the Five Elemental World, Purple Stone World, Normal Dwarf World and Normal Elven World. Ajax nned to send the geniuses from these four worlds into the Floating Ind to let them maximize their potential and quickly be powerhouses with enough cultivation to protect the worlds in his absence. Even though Ajax was moving around a lot, from one world to another, deep down, he was worried... worried about the sudden invasion of these worlds. ''I just need to wait for some time. I believe that once I enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind, I might unveil the secrets about the Floating Ind while getting more control over it.'' Ajax believed that he could move the Floating Ind at his will as long as he became a ruler of the entire Floating Ind. ''To achieve that, I need to increase my cultivation as soon as possible.'' To enter the Core Region of the Floating Ind, the spirit of the Floating Ind said that he needed a cultivation of the High-level Emperor Realm. Currently, Ajax''s cultivation is only at low-level Emperor Realm and he decided to try his best to improve it. .... [Five Elemental World] As soon as he exited the Floating Ind, Ajax silently thought about entering the Five Elemental World. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, his body disappeared from the Greater Metal Emperor World and appeared in the Five Elemental World which was millions of kilometers away. ''The title [Emperor of the Worlds] is quite convenient to travel.'' One of the effects of the title could instantly teleport to any of his four worlds, no matter where he is in the universe and it works only once a day. Ajax tried teleporting to his worlds when he was inside the Floating Ind; however, it didn''t work and that''s the reason Ajax wanted to connect it to his four worlds. ''Before meeting others, I will enter the Trader''s Realm and pay for my order before they add any penalty fee.'' There were still a few days left before the penalty for his order with the Special Notice Service started; however, Ajax just wanted toplete the transaction and focus on the Celestial Dawn Realm and his Assassination Mission. Hence, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he entered the Trader''s Realm. Trader''s Realm As the special trader who does huge transactions in the Trader''s Realm, Ajax could enter the Trader''s Realm from anywhere he wants. So, there was no problem for Ajax to enter the Trader''s Realm from the Five Elemental World. As soon as Ajax entered the Trader''s Realm, Ajax received a message from the spirit of the Trader''s Realm that was thoroughly shocking. ''100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens? Did you end everything he has or what?'' 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens were a huge amount even for the top sects of the Human Region and since the Great Jade Dragon Emperor was also a powerhouse equivalent to the sect, Ajax could tell it was a huge amount for him. So, he could not help but think that the Great Jade Dragon Emperor sold all his assets before ascending. ''But why would he gift me that much? I am not his son but Jade Dragonling is.'' Ajax didn''t understand what the Great Jade Dragon Emperor was thinking when he gave so many Trader''s Tokens. ''Let''s hear what was the exnation behind his crazy gift.'' Ajax guessed that the message might contain some exnation. ''T-this...'' Reading the messages from the Great Jade Dragon Emperor, Ajax was speechless for a moment. Who would sell the cultivation resources that increase the chances of ascending to the Heavenly Realm? Although the Jade Dragon Emperor mentioned that he only sold useless cultivation resources, Ajax didn''t believe those words. Why would the Greater Dragon Emperor give useless cultivation resources to someone who was about to ascend to the Heavenly Realm? No matter how many conflicts and bad blood they have among themselves when someone triggers the Lightning Tribtion to the Heavenly Realm, everyone wishes them to be sessful. It was because when someone ascended, the portal between the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm would open for a brief moment and the ancestors from the Heavenly Realm could send useful treasures and cultivation resources to their descendants. So, no one would give useless cultivation resources to the one who is about to ascend. ''Even though he didn''t mention it, I know exactly what he wants.'' Nevertheless, Ajax could tell what the Great Jade Dragon Emperor wanted from it and it was ton/o/vel/b//in dot c//om protect his son, Jade Dragonling Jaed. Once the Great Jade Dragon Emperor ascends, those who didn''t like him would go after his son who only became an Emperor Realm beast recently. He saw Ajax as young and powerful. Moreover, he trusted his dragon instincts that Ajax would definitely take care of his son and thus, he was willing to go as far as gifting 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. "With these 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, I don''t have to worry about selling anything." Ajax nned to sell some of the valuable things and get the Trader''s Tokens; however, with the Great Jade Dragon''s gift, things became much easier for Ajax. Chapter 1950: Fifth Commission Chapter 1950: Fifth Commission ? Special Notice Commission Center, "Wee, Respected Trader, yourmission is fulfilled." There was no way someone from the Center could forget Ajax after cing back-to-back orders with each order''s value 10 or even 100 times higher than the previous ones. As soon as the Female Attendant saw Ajax entering the Center, she became excited but suppressed it before respectfully inviting Ajax. "Please sit down, Respected Trader. I will bring the items youmissioned." After saying that, she hurriedly went inside the main room and brought a storage ring. "Sir, please check the order details I sent you to confirm there is nothing wrong with it." Since the order was worth 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, the female attendant didn''t want any mishaps or errors with it. So, she sent a message to Ajax through the Trader''s ount for confirmation before giving the Storage Ring filled with the said items. ..... Fourth Commission of Client [Harbinger of World Destruction]. 1) Supreme Grade Spirit Stones x 500 million (100 Trillion Trader''s Tokens). 2) Low-level Mixed Crystals x 499 billion but rounded off to 500 billion (49.9 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens). 3) nt Essence x 250 million drops (50 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens). Total Commission Value: 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens, paid: 800 Trillion Trader''s Tokens as advance payment. ----- On the other hand, Ajax checked the order details and found there was nothing wrong with it. Ajax nodded his head and took the Storage Ring from the Female Attendant to check the items inside it. "Everything seems good." After confirming the items, Ajax paid the remaining 99.2 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens to the Female Attendant. "Thanks formissioning us, Respected Trader." The Female Attendant smiled more after the transaction as she asked, "Are you going to ce a newmission, Respected Trader?" Previously, Ajaxmissioned a new order as soon as the previousmission waspleted. So, the female attendant asked Ajax about his nextmission. "I don''t think you can get me that item." Ajax replied with a smile. "Don''t worry, Sir. As long as it is below the Divine Grade, we canplete the order." After the fourmissions with Ajax, the Female Attendant''s level in the organization increased to a very high level. So, she assured Ajax aboutpleting any order as long as the required item was not a Divine Grade. "Sorry, but what I want is exactly a Divine Grade Item." Ajax shook his head as he got the answer before he could mention what he required. "Divine Grade Items?" Hearing Ajax''s words, the Female Attendant took back as she didn''t expect the other party to look for the Divine Grade Item. "Respected Trader, as you know getting Divine Grade items in the..." ''Ask him what he wants.'' As the Female Attendant was about to exin why they couldn''t get the Divine Items for Ajax, she heard a voice in her head, making her pause in her words. "Respected Trader, can you tell me what exactly you want?" Taking a deep breath, the Female Attendant asked Ajax about what he wanted. Since the voice belongs to the Manager of their Organization for this universe, she followed the voice''s orders without any dy. "Huh?" For a moment, Ajax raised his brows as he felt something was not right; however, he could not tell what it was. "I am looking for the Divine Grade Consumable Fruits." Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t think much as he revealed what he wanted. Many cultivators in the universe want to get their hands on the Divine Grade Items and Ajax''s request for the Divine Grade Consummable Fruits won''t raise any doubts. Hearing Ajax''s request, the Female Attendant nodded her head; however, she didn''t give any reply because she was waiting for a reply from the Manager. ''Tell him that one Divine Grade Fruit will be One Quintillion Trader''s Tokens.'' Soon, the Female Attendant got the reply and was shocked to hear that. One Quintillion Trader''s Tokens! Will the other person still ce amission after hearing such a huge price? However, since the other party was asking for a Divine Grade Item, its value can''t be measured with the currency from the Earth Realm. One Quintillion Trader''s Tokens might seem very high; however, in front of a Divine Grade Item, it was nothing. "Respected Trader, for a single Divine Grade Consumable Fruit, it costs One Quintillion Trader''s Tokens." The Female Attendant conveyed the message from her manager while maintaining a beautiful smile on her face. ''What?'' Ajax was shocked to hear her words. It was not because of the price, but the other party could get the Divine Grade Consumable Fruit for him. ''It means, this Center must have a powerful backing with an aritfact capable of receiving items from the Heavenly Realm.'' Ajax already knew that this Special Notice Commission Center had a powerful backer; however, he didn''t expect the backer would be from the Heavenly Realm.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om As far as Ajax knows, the powerhouses of the universe didn''t have exchange artifacts like the Golden Mirror of Exchange or the Celestial Orb of Exchange. They mostly rely on the small gap that would be opened between the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm to receive gifts from their ancestors. However, Ajax realized that this Special Notice Commission Center has an artifact. "I canmission a new order; however, are there that many Trader''s Tokens in the Trader''s Realm." Ajax was capable of earning the Trader''s Tokens; however, to earn such a huge amount, many Trader''s Tokens should be present in the market. So, he asked a serious question in a joking manner. "There are enough Trader''s Tokens in the Market and the funds we just received from you are already poured into the market." The Female Attendant understood Ajax''s concern and exined a few more things. "Okay then, I will make the order. I want a single Divine Grade Consumable Fruit." Since there are enough Trader''s Tokens in the Market, Ajax knew how to earn them; however, he onlymissioned one Divine Grade Fruit for now. Chapter 1951: Earning Plan Chapter 1951: Earning n ? With Ajax''s current strength and the amount of resources he had on him, umting the Trader''s Tokens was a piece of cake. Moreover, the Trader''s Realm was not just for Cultivators and Spirit Beasts from the human region but for the other regions like the Dragon Region and Demon Region too.N?v(el)B\\jnn From the Demon Region, the new Golden Demon Emperor was none other than Ajax''s subordinate and before he became the Emperor for the territory, he was the only one who used to manage the funds of the previous Greater Golden Demon Emperor. "Yes, Respected Trader. We willplete themission within 15 days. If we get it sooner, will inform you." The Female Attendant was in a good mood for getting another huge order from Ajax which might be the highestmission in her life. Nodding his head, Ajax quietly left the Special Notice Service Center. ''ording to my original n, I should be going back to the Five Elemental World and help the 100 Old Foggies be the Divine Body Cultivators.'' After leaving the center, Ajax readjusted his ns, ''But, thanks to the Fifth Commission, I have to start earning the Trader''s Tokens.'' To earn 1 Quintillion Trader''s Tokens, Ajax knew it would take some time. So, he decided to take action a little sooner. Because of Ajax''s back-to-back orders with their Organization, he was exempted from paying the 10 percent in advance; otherwise, he could not even ce that order. So, he was a little thankful for that but that doesn''t mean they were giving him any discount and when they delivered the Divine Fruit, Ajax had to pay the full agreed payment. ''It''s time to empty my storage ring.'' There were many things inside Ajax''s storage ring. Starting from different types of Giant Crystals, Supreme Grade Spirit Beasts, Mythical Grade Fruits, Special Mythical Grade Fruits, Bestial Divine Crystals, and Legend Grade Weapons. Among them, there were tens of thousands of Giant Crystals that could be quickly converted into Trader''s Tokens as they are the hot products in the Trader''s Realm. Each Giant Crystal can be sold for a minimum of 10 Trillion Trader''s Tokens and there was a time when Ajax sold a single Giant Dark Crystal for 20 Trillion Trader''s Tokens. So, Ajax could pour these Giant Dark Crystals into the Market to earn quite a huge number of Trader''s Tokens. ''System, calcte.'' Ajax was toozy to do those calctions and asked for the system. ''Ding, If the price for each Giant Crystal is set for 10 Trillion Trader''s Tokens, the host is required to sell 100,000 Giant Crystals. ''Ding, If the price is 20 Trillion Trader''s Tokens, then it''s only 50000 Giant Crystals. ''Ding, Currently, the host has 63000 Giant Crystals of different elements. Soon, a series of system notifications appeared in front of Ajax, making him nod his head. "Then, it''s settled. I will set the price at 20 Trillion Trader''s Tokens." Although Ajax has Mythical and Special Mythical Grade Fruits, he is not willing to sell them for the Trader''s Tokens as he wants to give them to his friends and followers. As for the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, he had just bought them for the process of turning the Old Foggies into Divine Body Cultivators. So, there was no way he wanted to sell them. As for the Giant Crystals, they were also equally beneficial to his friends and followers, Ajax could collect them once again. He needs to either enter the Dark Region and kill the Dark Wraiths or enter the me Chambers of different Sentient mes. Ajax was nning to do both after hepleted the exploration of the Celestial Dawn Sect and the assassination of the Sect Leader. ''I don''t have time to sell that many Giant Crystals.'' Ajax knew that he could not sell all his Giant Crystals to a single trader; however, it would take time and currently, he wascking it. ''I think it is time to use my contacts to the fullest.'' Ajax racked his brains for a moment before thinking of a n. "Everyone, assemble." Ajax sent an emergency assembly to all his contacts who could be useful to sell the Giant Crystals for him and of course, he only chose the ones he trusted. .... In less than 10 minutes, a group of Trader''s gathered in the Special Trader''s Room. Sitting in the main seat was none other than Ajax, beside him, the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor in his human form, sat with a slight smile on his face. Five humans were wearing different coloured robes and they were none other than the Five Element Human Emperors. On thest seat, a ck-coloured ferocious beast sat and it was none other than the Nightmare Beast who became Ajax''s friend after multiple transactions. "The reason I gathered everyone here is I need Trader''s Tokens." Ajax cleared his throat and informed everyone about the reason behind the emergency assembly. |||| The Jade Dragon Emperor was speechless when he heard Ajax''s words as though he was thinking, ''Didn''t I just give you 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens a few days back? You spent them already?'' "Of course, I am not asking you to give me your hard-earned Trader''s Tokens; instead, I need your help in selling these Giant Crystals to your friends and acquaintances." While speaking, Ajax took out of the bunch of Giant Crystals and ced them on the table in front of him. "Sure." Jade Dragon Emperor and others didn''t think much before they agreed to Ajax''s request instantly. Especially, the Five Human Emperors, became excited and could not wait to start selling them because they had lived for a long and had contacts with the five top sects. "The price for each Giant Crystal is 20 Trillion Trader''s Tokens and if you can sell above that, you can keep those Trader''s Tokens for yourself." "Other than that, I will give you 100 Giant Crystals of your liking each." "Also, I have some Special Mythical Fruits called Eternal World Fruit that can increase the lifespan of the cultivators by 5000 years." Ajax bombarded them with many rewards to make sure they worked harder. Chapter 1952: Mass Divine Body Cultivation (1) Chapter 1952: Mass Divine Body Cultivation (1) ? The Greater Jade Dragon Emperor, is one of the ten Strongest Dragon Emperors in the Dragon Region. Along with his uing Lightning Tribtions to the ascension, there were many trying to curry favour with him. Not only does he have strong contacts but those strong contacts would buy the stuff he had. Moreover, the Giant Crystals are the cultivation resources that all the Cultivators, Spirit Beasts, and even demons need. So, Ajax believed that everyone would flock to the Jade Dragon Emperor Draven to buy these Giant Crystals. Individually, the Five Human Elemental Emperors are weak; however, when they work together, even the top sects might have to worry. Also, despite looking like they are in their forties, they have lived in this universe for quite a long, making so many powerful connections. As for the Nightmare Beast, whenpared to the Jade Dragon Emperor and the Five Human Emperors, he might be much weaker; however, he was much older than anyone present in the room. With such a long lifespan, the Nightmare Beast also has its way of selling the Giant Crystals. With their ability, if they could sell each Giant Crystal for more than 20 Trillion Trader''s Tokens, they could keep that ''Change'' for themselves. Other than that, Ajax promised other benefits which made the task even more exciting for them toplete, except for Greater Jade Dragon Emperor. However, he still promised to help Ajax because of their rtionship. "Due to the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm, many of the Dragon Emperors I know have spent most of their trader''s tokens. So, it might be difficult to sell many of these Giant Crystals but I will give it." Draven, the Jade Dragon Emperor pointed out the problem with the Dragon Emperors. "I have also thought about it but these Giant Crystals are too valuable to lose." Ajax already expected this; however, he was not worried much about it as he already made a n for it. "Also, this time, I am mainly targeting the Celestial Dawn Sect which has be very rich by selling the entry tickets to the Celestial Dawn Sect." He said these words looking at the Five Elemental Emperors. "We are also nning to trade these Giant Crystals with the Celestial Dawn Sect and with their current wealth, I am sure they could easily buy 20000-30000 of them." "As for the other sects, even if they buy at least 5000 Giant Crystals each, we are confident in selling more than 40000 Giant Crystals." One after another, the Five Elemental Emperors confidently said to Ajax. "Then, I will give you 40000 Giant Crystals." Since the other party was confident in selling so many Giant Crystals, Ajax gave them the majority of the Giant Crystals. "As for Uncle Draven, I will give 10000 Giant Crystals." "For our Nightmare Friend, 10000 Giant Crystals will be fine, right?" Soon, Ajax shared the 60,000 Giant Crystals with the Five Elemental Human Emperors, the Jade Dragon Emperor and the Nightmare Beast. "We will update the progress of the mission to you." After taking the Giant Crystals, the Five Elemental Human Emperors excitedly exited the Special Trader''s Lounge and started working on the mission. The Nightmare Beast also left the lounge, leaving only Ajax and the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor. "You entrusted them with so many Giant Crystals. Aren''t you worried that they might run away with them?" After everyone left, Draven asked Ajax. In the world of cultivation, trust is a raremodity and Draven had already told Ajax multiple times that he shouldn''t trust someone too much, including even him. So, when he saw Ajax entrust 40000 Giant Crystals to the Five Elemental Human Emperor and another 10000 to the Nightmare Beast so casually. "I heard that Nightmare Beast is a trustworthy beast from Jaed, who said that you have made many transactions with them and were quite close." Despite that, Ajax has a feeling that Nightmare Beast is quite trustworthy and decides to trust him. !...! Hearing Ajax''s exnation behind trusting Nightmare Beast, Draven was quite speechless but, he revealed a slight smile, "He is indeed trustworthy and I can vouch for it; however, what about those Human Emperors?" "As for them, they were even more trustworthy to me." Ajax chuckled a little as he replied, "Actually, I am hoping they betray me. So that, I can go and destroy their Greater Worlds along with Normal and Smaller Worlds connected to them." The Five Greater Worlds owned by the Five Elemental Human Emperors were connected to the Floating Ind and they were able to build their strength with the help of the Floating Ind. Over time, the rtionship between the Floating Ind and those Five Greater Worlds grew to the point where the regional ruler of the Floating Ind could enter them. With Ajax being the ruler of the Floating Ind, he could enter these Five Greater Worlds no matter how many formations and barriers they used to stop him from entering their worlds. Once Ajax entered a world, it was a matter of a few minutes to sessfully conquer the world and another few moments to extract the World Core. Although the Five Elemental Human Emperors didn''t know Ajax''s full battle prowess, they knew that Ajax was able to be the Ruler of one of the regions inside the Floating Ind. So, they knew betraying him would do no good for them or the worlds they rule. "It''s good that you are confident." Although Draven doesn''t approve of Ajax''s actions, he doesn''t say anything more because he believes Ajax is too young and needs time to experience things like betrayal. Soon, they talked about a few more things and Draven learned why Ajax needed Trader''s Tokens despite receiving a gift of 100 Quadrillion Trader''s Tokens. For a moment, he was shocked; however, Draven knew that Ajax was full of secrets and silently guessed that Ajax required Divine Fruits to increase his cultivation. "Uncle Draven, I need another help from you." After that, Ajax asked about another important thing, "Can I bring 100 Subordinates of mine for the body tempering with the Sentient me in your world?" ******* Support my book ''Life Blood Cultivation: Starting By Extracting My Life Seed''.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chapter 1953: Greater Forest Dragon Emperor Chapter 1953: Greater Forest Dragon Emperor ? There were still three days left for the opening of the Celestial Dawn Realm and before that, Ajax nned to turn his 100 dying Old Cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators, increasing their lifespan by an additional 10000 years. With such a lifespan, even without Ajax''s help, they could increase the awakening percentage of their Divine Rules and even trigger the Lightning Tribtion to the Heavenly Realms. ''Ding, The requirements to unlock the Divine body Cultivation are: 1) Body tempering with at least three Sentient mes. 2) Spend one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to temper the host''s body to officially pursue the Divine Body Cultivation. 3) One million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones each for five different elements. (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal). Among the three requirements, Ajax had already collected the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones in his Fourth Commision and with his current capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness, the Divine Essence of Nature was also not a problem. However, the Old Cultivators have to undergo the Body Tempering with the three Sentient mes. Thus, Ajax required Greater Jade Dragon''s help regarding the Sentient mes. "As I said before, you are always wee to my Greater Jade Dragon World and obviously, you can bring your subordinates with you." Draven had already given a Special Teleportation Token to his Greater Jade Dragon World to Ajax that let him enter the world whenever he wanted. "I need ess to three Sentient mes." Soon, Ajax exined what he needed, "One will be the Jade Fire in Uncle Draven''s world, the other one is Stormfire from the Stormfire Wyvern World. But, I don''t have ess to the third Sentient me." "So, I am hoping you can help me with that." Ajax still has the tokens to a couple of worlds with the Sentient Worlds; however, he didn''t have permission to bring his subordinates and even if requested them, the Greater Dragon Emperors would directly reject him. However, with a word from the Greater Jade Dragon Emperor, things would be a lot easier. Since he had a powerful backer, Ajax felt it would be a sin not to make use of it before this so-called backer ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Thus, Ajax decided to ask Uncle Draven for help. "It''s a small matter." Uncle Draven smiled a little as he said to Ajax, "It looks like you are nning something big with your subordinates." Draven knew that Ajax might be a young man who was less than 20 years old but he doesn''t do things that don''t benefit him. "Thank you, Uncle Draven." Ajax hurriedly thanked the Jade Dragon Emperor and gave the 10000 Giant Crystals to him. After receiving the Giant Crystals, Draven didn''t leave the Special Trader''s Lounge; instead, he sent a message to one of his fellow Greater Dragons from the Greater Dragon Council. ''Swoosh'' In no time, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing majestic royal green robes appeared in the Special Trader''s Lounge. "Ajax, he is a friend of mine and also one of the Ten Greater Dragon Emperors from the Dragon Region, the Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan. You can address him as Uncle Sylvan." "Sylvan, this is a human genius that became friends with Little Jaed." As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, Draven hurriedly introduced him to Ajax and vice versa. As for the Little Jaed mentioned by Draven, he was none other than Draven''s son, Jade Dragonling. "Uncle Sylvan." Ajax respectfully greeted the neer as he heard lots of things about this Forest Dragon Emperor. Previously, Ajax received nt drops from Uncle Draven and ording to Draven, he bought them from this Forest Dragon Emperor named Sylvan. Of course, all those things he heard were good and naturally, Ajax gave respect to him. "Hm." Sylvan was surprised to see a human in the Special Trader''s Lounge because he was only here to meet his friend Draven. Moreover, from Draven''s introductions, Sylvan could tell that Ajax was not a regr human but might be special. Anyway, he gave a face to Draven and nodded at Ajax with a smile. "Sylvan, Little Ajax here, wants to enter your world to temper his body with the Sentient me along with his 100 Subordinates. What do you say?" Everyone present here is the power houses and needs to go back to their work. So, Draven didn''t waste any time and directly stated the purpose he called Sylvan. "Huh? He wants to enter my world along with 100 Subordinates?" Hearing that, the Forest Dragon Emperor frowned. Letting Ajax enter his world for body tempering was not a problem; however, if he brought 100 subordinates with him, Sylvan felt a little ufortable. Among the 10 strongest Greater Dragon Emperors in the Dragon Region, the Forest Dragon Emperor has the weakest battle prowess. He mostly focused on raising the Spirit Trees and Spirit Beasts and selling the products of those Spirit Beasts and Spirit Trees to earn money to rapidly increase his cultivation. Of course, he also nurtured a strong army under him; however, he was notfortable letting someone enter his world with his 100 subordinates. In the past, a Greater Dragon Emperor invited a group of Human Emperors for the body tempering with the Sentient mes; however, the Human Emperors came with ill intentions and killed the Dragon Emperor and took over his Greater World. Thus, the Forest Dragon Emperor hesitated regarding Ajax''s request. "Sorry, but I don''t want to take an unnecessary risk." Although he values his friendship with Draven, who is about to ascend, Sylvan still rejects Ajax''s request because his fear of death is higher than his friendship with Draven. "What?"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax frowned when he heard the Forest Dragon Emperor''s words as he didn''t understand what was running inside the other party''s head. ''What kind of risk he doesn''t want to take?'' ''Does he think I will invade his Greater Forest Dragon World with 100 subordinates?'' ''Aren''t you one of the ten strongest Greater Dragon Emperors from the Dragon Region?'' ''H-he...he is scared of me, a Low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator?'' Chapter 1954: Greater Forest Dragon Emperor (2) Chapter 1954: Greater Forest Dragon Emperor (2) ? The more Ajax thought about it, the more confused he became. Although he has the strength to invade the Greater Forest Dragon World, Ajax still doesn''t believe that the other party is so scared about letting him into his world. ''If I want to invade your world, there is no need for me to bring those old foggies. With my current strength, I can easily do it on my own.'' Ajax wondered how Sylvan, the Great Forest Dragon Emperor was able to be one of the Strongest Ten Greater Dragon Emperors of the Dragon Region. Nevertheless, he could not say his thoughts out loud. "Uncle Sylvan, how about this." Since the other party is afraid of him bringing his subordinates, Ajax suggests, "What if my subordinatese in batches of 10?" "If 10 members per batch is high, we can agree on 5 or even one member at a time." Although it would take if his subordinates entered the Greater Forest Dragon World in batches, there was nothing Ajax could do about it when the other party was worried about an invasion. "Hm" Sylvan thought about it for a moment before nodding his head and said, "10 cultivators per batch is good." ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when the other party agreed to let his subordinates enter in batches of 10 men. "Thank you, Uncle Sylvan."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Ajax didn''t forget to thank him and at the same time, he gave 100 Giant Fire Crystals as a token of gratitude for letting him and his subordinates use the Sentient me. "T-these...." Seeing the Giant Fire Crystals, Sylvan was momentarily shocked and nced at Draven for a moment before taking them. "When you enter my world, I will let you enter my personal garden and let you pick any fruits you like." After taking the Giant Fire Crystals, Sylvan felt that Draven might mock him for taking so many Giant Fire Crystals for letting Ajax and his subordinates use the Sentient me in his world. Thus, he decided to be generous and let Ajax enter his personal Spirit nt Garden which was filled with many useful nts and trees. "It will be my honour." Currently, Ajax is not interested in nt-type cultivation resources unless it is Divine Grade. However, Ajax had heard a lot about Sylvan, a Great Forest Dragon Emperor with the title Great Forest Lover. So, he was curious about what types of Special nts and Trees were in the Great Forest Dragon Emperor''s personal garden. At the same time, he was curious about the age of those nts and Trees. ''I wonder whether he has any Special nts and Trees above 100000 years or special tree seedlings or seeds.'' With the amount of nt Essence he bought from his Fourth Commission, Ajax wanted to try nting some unique and useful special trees. He believed that nurturing his four trees, [Tree of Blessing], [Higher World Tree], [Soul Nourishment Tree] and [Celestial World Tree], would be quite difficult going forward. So, he thought, why not nurture other Special Trees to 100000 years with the nt Essence he has now? Of course, he already has ns for the three World Trees in Five Elemental World, Purple Stone World, and Normal Elven World but he felt nurturing a unique and different tree would be quite helpful to him or his subordinates. "Okay then. I will take my leave now." Soon, Sylvan gave 11 Teleportation Tokens to his world. Among them, 10 tokens can allow 10 cultivators to enter his world and one of them can only allow one cultivator and it was for Ajax. Of course, if someone tries to use those 10 Teleportation Tokens at once, instead of teleportation, they would explode, killing the cultivators who were holding them. Sylvan had lived for quite long and he won''t leave such loopholes when ites to his world. However, what Sylvan didn''t know was that, if Ajax really wanted to bring someone, he could easily do so by putting them in his Divine Inner World. Anyway, for now, Ajax didn''t have any intentions of invading someone''s world...especially the world belonging to someone from the top 10 Strongest Dragon Emperors of the Dragon Region. After Sylvan, Ajax and Uncle Draven also left the Special Trader''s Lounge and started working on their works. Uncle Dragon startedmunicating with the other Strongest Dragon Emperors from the Dragon Council to sell the Giant Crystals whereas Ajax returned to the Five Elemental World where the Old Cultivators were staying. "Everyone, are you ready to undergo body tempering with the Sentient mes?" Ajax didn''t waste any time as he only had three days before the Celestial Dawn Realm opened and once that happened, he would be quite busy. Hence, he wanted to turn these 100 Old Cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators before bringing them to the Celestial World Realm. "Yes, Master." "We are waiting for you." . All Old Cultivators excitedly nodded their heads. Ajax wanted to temper their bodies with the Sentient mes before he even entered the Floating Ind. However, after staying in the Greater Barren World for thousands of years, their bodies became quite weak and the sudden tempering of their bodies with the Sentient mes would not make them strong but burn their bodies. Now, after staying under the Standard World Tree of the Five Elemental World, their bodies were no longer malnourished but looked quite strong. "Let''s go." First, Ajax tossed one of the Teleportation Tokens he received from slyvan to an old cultivator. "Select nine more with you and enter the Greater Forest Dragon World to undergo the body tempering with the Sentient me in the world." "As for the remaining, follow me to the Stormfire Wyvern World." After saying that, Ajax brought the remaining 90 Old Cultivators with me to the Stormfire Wyvern World. me Chamber, Stormfire Wyvern World. 90 Old Cultivators were sitting in the Inner Section of the me Chamber and started undergoing Body Tempering with the Stormfire whereas Ajax entered the Core Section of the mer Chamber to have a chat with the Sentient me. "Stormfire, I have brought your favourite food." Chapter 1955: Good Cultivator Magnet Chapter 1955: Good Cultivator Ma ? "Stormfire, I have brought your favourite food." Ajax took out a dozen Giant Fire Crystals and tossed them at the hovering Sentient me, Stormfire. "Delicious" The Stormfire was waiting for Ajax''s return and when it noticed Aeion entering the me Chamber, it was already excited but patiently waiting for its favourite food, the Giant Fire Crystals. So, when it saw Ajax toss a dozen Giant Fire Crystals, the Sentient me became excited and caught them. Except for one, the Stormfire stored the remaining 11 Giant Fire Crystals. ''Delicious food should be eaten slowly.'' The Stormfire silently thought to itself and greeted Ajax. "I have a favour to ask." Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly stated the reason he entered the me Chamber, "Can you make sure that they sessfully undergo the body tempering?" Inside the me chamber, while undergoing the Body Tempering with the Sentient me, it''s almost impossible for a cultivator to die. However, Ajax was worried about the old cultivator''s bodies and at the same time, he wanted to make sure that theypleted their body tempering. "It''s a small matter. Leave it to me." Unlike Ajax, who received the blessing while undergoing body tempering with the Sentient me, a regr body tempering process could be made a little easier for cultivators. Of course, there would still be pain; however, it would be a little lesspared to the pain that other cultivators have to go through while undergoing the body tempering with a Sentient me. And the reason why the Stormfire would help Ajax''s subordinates was ''definitely not'' for the Giant Fire Crystals but for its friendship with Ajax. "Thank you." Among all the Sentient mes he had negotiated, the Stormfire was indeed quite friendly to him. After thinking for a moment, Ajax gave another 12 Giant Fire Crystals to the Stormfire, making it sing a series of praises for Ajax. While the 90 subordinates were undergoing body tempering, Ajax started having a conversation with the Stormfire to alleviate its boredom while learning about the other sentient mes. Compared to the first time he met the Stormfire, Ajax''s knowledge about the Sentient mes and other things has greatly increased. At the same time, the number of questions in his head also increased. However, thanks to the Stormfire, Ajax got answers to some of them as he shared the information between them. Time continued to pass and six hours passed by in a sh and the old cultivators had sessfully finished their body tempering with the first sentient me, the Stormfire. "It looks like I have to go." Ajax stood up and was ready to go; however, he could sense the sadness in the Stormfire, "Don''t worry. Once I finish the exploration of my Celestial Dawn Realm, I will regrly visit you and bring your favourite food." Hearing Ajax''s words, Stormfire''s sadness decreased a little and it patiently waited for Ajax''s return. While leaving the me Chamber, Ajax didn''t forget to collect the low, mid and high-level impure darkfire and other types of crystals in the core section of the me Chamber. Afterpletion of the body tempering with the Stormfire, Ajax brought the 90 Old Men who obviously became a little stronger than before, to the Five Elemental World. "You finished your body tempering with the ForestFire?" As soon as he returned, Ajax saw the 10 Old Cultivators whom he sent to the Greater Forest Dragon World, already waiting for them. "Yes, Master. We have been waiting for the past three hours."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om One of the ten old cultivators replied. "What? You finished the body tempering with the Forestfire in just three hours?" Ajax was momentarily shocked to hear that. "Yes, the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor has offered us some fruits which strengthened our vitality and while undergoing the body tempering, we didn''t feel any pain." "Yeah. Those fruits are quite delicious too." The Old Cultivators who entered the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor described their experience, making Ajax change his views on this new Dragon Uncle he found. ''Looks like Uncle Sylvan might be a scaredy cat but, from the looks of it, he is a great host.'' As a Greater Dragon Emperor, there was no need for Sylvan to personally help the old subordinates but he still did anyway. "Whoever I meet turns out to be a good cultivator...it looks like I am a Good-Cultivator Ma." Ajax recalled his life and at every stage in his life, whoever he met turned out to be a good cultivator. In the cultivation worlds, whether only a few good cultivators were left, meeting the good cultivator was considered lucky and Ajax has encountered quite a few of them. First, when he was in the Cursed Wilderness, he met Edmond who helped him with his cultivation by giving him the spirit stones. Next, he met Zanath, who was a half-human and half-demon. Later, when the Purple Stone World was under the invasion, he personally took action and helped Ajax save the world. After that, Ajax met Elder Ren, who was his father''s disciple and helped him kill a King Realm Cultivator who wanted to capture Ajax in the Elemental Spirit World. The list doesn''t end there as Ajax met his Master, Mostror, also known as Bloodline Emperor, Greater Jade Dragon through Jade Dragonling, and now, the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor. So, he could not help but give himself the title [Good Cultivator Ma], the one who attracts good people. ''You 10 men enter the Stormfire Wyvern World andplete the Body Tempering with the Stormfire.'' Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax sent the 10 Cultivators who finished the body tempering with the Forest Fire to the Stormfire Wyvern World. "As for us, since the body tempering time for the Forest Fire is less, let''splete it quickly." Of course, Ajax only brought 10 cultivators with me, ordering the next batch of 10 cultivators to use the Teleportation Token only after the previous batch came out. Since Ajax also didn''tplete the body tempering with the Forestfire, he decided to undergo the body tempering with it along with his subordinates. Chapter 1956: Agony Willow Tree Chapter 1956: Agony Willow Tree ? Ajax didn''t forget about his goal of undergoing the Body Tempering with 100 Sentient mes. Moreover, for his Divine Body Cultivation, Ajax has to undergo body tempering with more Sentient mes. ''Although I have met the requirements for the Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation, I want to test the battle prowess of the Low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation for a few more months.'' Among the three requirements, Ajax had already fulfilled the first and third requirements which are body tempering with the Sentient mes and 100000 units of Divine Spirit Consciousness''s capacity. As for thest requirement, Ajax only needed to temper his body with one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature, which he could do any time he wanted. ''Swoosh'' Soon, Ajax entered the Greater Forest Dragon World and the moment he entered, he was personally received by the Greater Forest Dragon, Sylvan. "Little Ajax, eat these Pain Absorption Fruits before you undergo Body Tempering." After exchanging pleasantries, Sylvan offered some fruits to Ajax and his 10 old subordinates. ''Ding, Spirit Fruit: Pain Absorption Fruit. Grade: Legend Grade. Effects: Absorbs 50-60 percent received by the consumer for the next one hour. Information: A fruit that is borne by a Mythical Grade Tree named Agony Willow Tree. Every year, it produces more than 100 Pain Absorption Fruits. As usual, Ajax checked the information about the fruit, which pleasantly surprised him, Although he already heard about these fruits from his subordinates, he didn''t expect that fruit to have such good effects. It basically reduced the pain of the cultivator by more than half and for the Body Tempering Cultivators, these fruits are beneficial resources. ''Agony Willow Tree...it produces good fruits; however, it is too bad that it was only a Mythical Grade Tree.'' From Ajax''s experience of nurturing the Special Trees, he noticed that only Special Mythical Grade Trees could have the abilities. Of course, even if it was a Special Mythical Grade Tree, there was no guarantee that those trees would awaken the Special Abilities. All the Special Mythical Grades that Ajax was nurturing in his Divine Inner World were very rare and only one step away from bing the Divine Trees. Higher World Tree, as long as it was nurtured properly, it can be a Divine World Tree...at least Ajax believed it would. Tree of Blessing is a rare tree its existence itself was beneficial for the summoners. As for the Soul Nourishment Tree, it was rted to the souls and anything rted to souls is considered very special. Hence, when Ajax learned that the Agony Willow Tree was only a Mythical Grade Tree, he soon lost interest in it. ''Once I finish my Body Tempering with the Forestfire, I will check out Uncle Sylvan''s personal garden.'' Sylvan was inviting Ajax into his personal garden; however, Ajax nned to go after hepleted his main objective of entering the Greater Foret Dragon World. Moreover, since his subordinates wereing in batches, it would easily take at least a day for everyone to finish their body tempering with Forestfire. So, Ajax nned toplete his body tempering before spending his time in Sylvan''s Personal Garden. "Everyone, let''s go." After eating three Pain Absorption Fruits, Ajax and his subordinates entered the me Chamber of the World in which the Forestfire was kept. ..... Unlike the me Chambers that Ajax entered previously, this one waspletely different. Inside the me Chambers, it was filled with all kinds of trees and bushes with some small stone tforms here and there. ''So, the cultivators who entered the me Chamber had to sit on those stone tforms to undergo body tempering.'' Before entering the me Chamber, Sylvan exined everything to a cultivator who was entering the me Chamber for the first time. "You can find yourself a spot andplete the body tempering." After giving orders to his 10 old cultivators behind him, Ajax entered into the depths of the forest where the heat intensity was high. The deeper he went, the higher the heat intensity; however, for Ajax, who already has a high pain tolerance along with the consumption of the Pain Absorption Fruits, didn''t feel any pain.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "I have finally met you." Soon, Ajax found a green-coloured me that was hanging like a fruit on a tree. ''Swoosh'' Without wasting any time, Ajax directly took out the favourite food of all Sentient mes, the Giant Fire Crystals. ''Swoosh'' Sensing the delicious fluctuations emitted by the Giant Fire Crystals, the Forest fire flew down and excitedly greeted Ajax. "Bless with the Divine me Rule and these Giant Fire Crystals are yours and at the same time, I will be taking all the low-level, mid-level and high-level impure crystals around that tree." It was neither Ajax''s first entering the me Chamber nor dealing with a Sentient me. So, he went straight to the point where the Sentient me agreed without any hesitation. As for taking those low-level, mid-level and high-level impure crystals, Ajax could merge them and convert them into pure Giant Crystals. So, of course, he had to collect them. Although he nned to get these crystals by exploring the Dark Region, there were still many things left in the universe for Ajax to deal with. Thus, he collected those crystals as he still needed to manage the expenses until he started exploring the Dark Region. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Time continued to pass and unlike his previous body temperings with the Sentient mes, it only took him less than 30 minutes to sessfullyplete the body tempering as he received the series of system notifications. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfullypleting the body tempering with the Forestfire and receiving the blessing of Divine me Rule and Divine nt Rule from it. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the Divine me Rule is increased by 1 percent. ''Ding, The awakening percentage of the Divine nt Rule is increased by 3 percent. ''Only one percent and three percent? Is it because I awakened those Divine Rules by more than 50 percent?'' Looking at the increment in the awakening of his Divine Rules, Ajax raised his brows. Chapter 1957: Sylvans Personal Garden Chapter 1957: Sylvan''s Personal Garden ? After eating the Divine Rule Fruit, the awakening percentage of all the existing Divine Rules of Ajax, increased by 50 percent. Of course, because of the cultivation restrictions, only an awakening percentage of 30 was essible for Ajax and as for the remaining awakening percentage, it would be locked until Ajax''s cultivation increased. After undergoing body tempering with the Sentient mes, Ajax learned that every Sentient me could bestow the Cultivators with two Divine Rules. The Stormfire can bestow the cultivators with the Divine me Rule and the Divine Wind Rule.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The Jadefire can bestow the cultivators with the Divine me Rule and the Divine Jade Rule. For all the Sentient mes, Divine me Rules weremon whereas the second Divine Rule changes depending on their nature. Like other Sentient mes, the Forestfire could also bestow the Cultivator with a Divine me Rule and Divine nt Rule. The reason Ajax frowned after receiving the special blessing from the Forestfire was that the increment of the awakening percentage of his Divine me Rule and Divine nt Rule had greatly reduced. Previously, upon a sessful blessing from a Sentient me, his Divine me Rule would increase by 5 percent and it was steady until he entered the Floating Ind. ''It looks like the blessing from the Sentient mes can only increase my Divine Rules by one percent after crossing the 50 percent of awakening.'' Ajax didn''t have to think much beforeing to this conclusion. ''There are still so many Sentient mes in this universe and I am yet to increase my cultivator to gain ess to the Divine Rules with a higher awakening percentage.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and after collecting all the impure crystals lying under the huge tree, Ajax left the me Chambers. The 10 Old Cultivators that came with him were still undergoing the body tempering and Ajax didn''t disturb them as he went to Sylvan. "Little Ajax, youpleted the body tempering so soon?" Seeing Ajax walking out of the me Chamber, the Forest Dragon Emperor was surprised. "Yes, Uncle Sylvan." Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile, "It is my seventh sentient me to undergo the body tempering with." Ajax already knew that it was a matter of time before Sylvan checked his information and in it, there would be the Sentient mes with which he underwent body tempering. So, he didn''t bother to hide it. "Seven Sentient mes....don''t tell me you are nning to undergo the body tempering with 100 Sentient mes." Uncle Sylvan joked about it; however, seeing that Ajax didn''tugh, he realized, "You...you are nning to do that." "I don''t know whether I can do it or not, but I will give my best andplete the body tempering with as many Sentient mes as possible before I ascend." Although Ajax had a goal of undergoing the body tempering with 100 Sentient mes, if he and his Summons met the requirements to trigger the Lightning Tribtions, he wouldn''t hesitate to abandon his goal. For him, ascending to the Heavenly Realm was more important than solving a myth. However, Ajax knew that it would take years before he could trigger the Lightning Tribtions to the Heavenly Realm. Until then, this goal of his, would keep him upied and at the same time, it will help him explore the Dark Region, getting various impure crystals by killing the creatures in the Dark Region. "I hope you seed in your journey." After learning of Ajax''s goal, Sylvan no longer joked about it but encouraged him. "So, are you ready to enter my Personal Garden?" After talking for a while, Sylvan guessed that Ajax wanted to visit his Personal Garden. Sinice he had already invited Ajax to his Personal Garden, and Sylvan didn''t mind Ajax entering the Personal Garden. Sylvan learned from Draven that the source of the Giant Fire Crystals was none other than Ajax, making Sylvan change his view about Ajax. He wanted to be on good terms with Ajax and he hoped that something in his personal garden would pique Ajax''s interest. So that, he could exchange it for the Giant Fire Crystals that the other party has. Soon, Sylvan took Ajax to a simple-looking forest as he said, "This the entrance to my personal garden." ''Huh?'' However, Ajax raised his eyebrows when he saw the trees in the forest because they are allmon trees that release a little pure Essence of Nature. They were somon that those trees were even in the Purple Stone World and Five Elemental World. So, Ajax doubted whether Sylvan really brought him to his personal garden or not. "Let''s go." However, he didn''t say anything and quietly followed behind Sylvan. ''Swoosh'' ''T-this is....'' However, just as Ajax entered the forest, the view in front of him haspletely changed. The Common Essence coughing trees disappeared and they were reced by Legend grade Trees and there were hundreds of them in Ajax''s view. "I have paid a thousand Emperor Grade Formation Master and engraved a Special Mythical Grade Formation around my personal garden. No one in this entire universe can see through or forcefully enter my personal garden without my permission." Sylvan was proud when he informed Ajax of the reason why he sawmon trees when they were outside the personal garden. "A thousand Emperor Grade Formation Masters?" Ajax was shocked to hear Sylvan''s words and seemed like he was bragging about it. ''T-this...new uncle of mine is the most cautious person I have seen in my entire life.'' Although Ajax knew the importance of privacy regarding his things; however, using a thousand Emperor Grade Formation Masters for a personal garden...was considered overly cautious. "Yes," Sylvan nodded his head as he started exining about the number of trees and nts in his personal garden. "There are more than a thousand Legend Grade nts and Trees each with 1000 years of age." "100 Mythical Grade nts and Trees with more than 10000 years of age and 10 Special Mythical Grade Trees with more than 100000 years of age." Sylvan exined everything about the Trees and nts inside his garden, shocking Ajax. Chapter 1958: Small Eternal Plant Chapter 1958: Small Eternal nt ? 1000 Legend Grade Trees with an age of above 1000 years! 100 Mythical Grade Trees with an age of above 10000 years! 10 Special Mythical Grade Trees with an age of above 10000 years! Hearing the trees that Sylvan was nurturing in his Personal Garden, Ajax was shocked. "Uncle Sylvan, how long are you nurturing these Trees?" Nurturing Legend Grade Trees to 1000 years was not hard; however, the number of those trees was huge. Mythical Grade Trees are even harder to nurture and require more resources than the Legend Grade Trees. As for the Special Mythical Grade Trees, Ajax had personal experience regarding their nurturing and he knew how difficult it was to nurture them for 10000 years. Although Ajax was able to nurture them for 100,000 years, it was because of the upgrade of his Inner World into Divine Inner World. Otherwise, his three Special Mythical Grade Trees would have been stuck below 20000 years for a while. But, the other party was able to nurture 10 such difficult trees to 100000 years. So, Ajax could not help but ask Uncle Slyvan how long has he been tending to his garden. "This personal garden was created by myte father 20000 years ago and I have been tending it for 10000 years." The Forest Dragon Emperor became a little emotional when he said those words. "10000 years? No wonder the Personal Garden is thriving." Unlike the humans and most spirit beasts, the Dragons have the longest lifespan... especially, the Forest Dragons. Since Sylvan had been tending to his garden for 10000 years, Ajax could guess that the other party was able to be a Greater Forest Dragon Emperor and the ruler of the world. Even if it took 5000 years for Sylvan to reach that kind of power before taking over the Personal Garden, his age would be more than 15000 years.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Moreover, Ajax knew how various cultivation resources in the wilderness could increase the lifespan of the cultivators and the Spirit Beasts by 50000 to even 10000 years. Thus, Ajax was not surprised much regarding that and started checking the trees and spirit nts in the garden...which actually looked like a forest. "Like the me Chamber, my Personal Garden is also divided into Outer Section, Middle Section and Inner Section." From the side, Sylvan exined more about his personal garden. "Currently, we are in the outer section of the personal garden where Legend Grade Spirit nts and Trees are nted." "In the middle section, Mythical Grade Spirit nts and Trees are being nurtured with the Inner Section of the personal garden being reserved for the Special Mythical Grade Trees." Despite being one of the ten Strongest Dragon Emperors, Sylvan didn''t have any arrogance or look down on Ajax. Instead, he exined more about his garden, so that Ajax would know exactly where he should look if he wanted something. As someone who lived nearly 20000 years, Sylvan has seen many kinds of Cultivators and Spirit Beasts and has dealt with all kinds of situations. So, he knew Ajax would be interested in entering the Inner Section of the Personal Garden and bing interested in the fruits bore by those Special Mythical Grade Trees. ''Once he bes interested, I can exchange them for the Giant Fire Crystals and since the other party initiated the exchange, I can ask for more Giant Fire Crystals.'' It was not Sylvan''s first time using this method. Previously, he used it on all the top ten Strongest Dragons from the Dragon Council and he got what he wanted at a good price. ''Compared to those old dragons, this young human won''t be an exception.'' Sylvan was a little eager; however, he remained patient because rushing things would spoil his n. "Agony Willow Tree." While checking out the Legend Grade Trees in the Outer Section of the Garden, Ajax noticed a tree with familiar-looking fruits hanging on its branches. There were still dozens of Pain Absorption Fruits hanging on it that were about to mature. However, Ajax only took a look at it for a moment before checking out the other Legend Grade Trees and Spirit nts. Ancient Cedar nt. Royal Chestnut Tree. Hidden Regal Pine Tree. Small Eternal nt. One after another, Ajax checked out the Legend Grade Spirit nts and Trees. Except for one Spirit nt, nothing caught Ajax''s eye. ''Ding, Tree Name: Small Eternal nt. Grade: Legend Grade. Fruit: 10 Small Eternal Berries per three years. Small Eternal Berry: Upon consumption, a cultivator''s lifespan will be increased by 100 years and a cultivator can consume 10 of them. The information about the Small Eternal nt caught Ajax''s attention because of the berries he bore. ''Interesting....these berries are quite useful to those who are nearing their death.'' Although other cultivation resources are increasing the lifespan of the cultivators, these berries belong to a Legend Grade Tree and thus, they are quite cheappared to the fruits belonging to the Mythical Grade Trees. "Small Eternal Berries....they are lifesaving items." Ajax muttered in a barely audible voice; however, Sylvan heard him clearly. "If you are interested, I will give you some Small Eternal Berries." Seeing that Ajax was interested in the Small Eternal Berries, Sylvan said that. "Thank you, Uncle Sylvan; however, there is no need for that." However, Ajax politely rejected his offer as he stood up and walked into the Middle-Section of the Garden where 100 Mythical Grade Trees were nted. Mirage Palm Tree bears a fruit called Mirage Fruit, upon consuming it, it creates a mirage of the consumer that takes all the damage received by the consumer for the next one hour. Moonlight Ash Vine, grinding a small portion of the vine into a potion and drinking it will increase the cultivation speed of the cultivator by 500 percent under the moonlight. Emberpine Tree, sitting under its shade will increase the cultivation of Fire-Rted Cultivation Technique and eating the Emberpines will temper the body. One after another, the information about the Mythical Grade Trees whose age is above 10000 years appeared in front of Ajax through the system. Chapter 1959: Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees Chapter 1959: Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees ? The more Ajax checked the Mythical Grade Trees in the Middle Section, the more shocked he became. Because, he thought that among the 100 Mythical Grade Trees, most of them would be easy to nurture. However, each one of the Mythical Grade Spirit nts and the Trees in the personal garden required a lot of resources to nurture them. Some trees helped with cultivation, and some trees bore fruits that could heal, and even regenerate the limbs. Some fruits have unique abilities like creating a mirage to receive the damage in the ce of the consumer. For each one of these trees, Ajax felt they were good to transnt into his Divine Inner World. ''No...let''s not waste so much time on them.'' However, before his mind was filled with negative thoughts, Ajax rejected the idea of taking so many spirit nts and trees. Currently, with only three Special Mythical Grade Trees and one Divine Grade Tree, and he transnts a huge number of trees, Ajax is required to shift his focus onto them. He already has a lot of things nned and can''t shift his focus to anything else. Of course, unless something truly caught his eye, Ajax nned to exchange its seed transnt that nt or just buy the fruits from the Forest Dragon Emperor. Although each Mythical Grade Tree in the Middle-Section of the Personal Graden was an absolute treasure, they didn''t entice Ajax enough to make him think, ''I need it''. ''Why is not asking for any Fruits or Seeds even after seeing so many Mythical Grade Spirit nts and Trees?'' From the side, Sylvan felt something was not right! In the beginning, he saw Ajax was shocked to see the trees in the Mythical Grade; however, he didn''t seem to be interested in any of them. The ones who entered his Personal Garden before Ajax, they all had a desire to get a fruit or a sapling or a seed when they entered the Middle-Section of his Personal Garden but Ajax remained calm other than showing some surprised looks from time to time. After strolling in the middle section of the Personal Garden for a while, Ajax asked Sylvan, "Shall we enter the Inner Section of the Personal Garden now?" "Huh? You already checked out all the Mythical Grade Trees in the Middle-Section?" Sylvan raised his brows and asked Ajax about it. "Yes, I did." Unlike others, who needed some time to figure out the information on the Mythical Grade Tree or needed an exnation from Sylvan, Ajax had the system to disy all the information for him. Moreover, after receiving a wide range of Fruits from the Lesser, Standard and even Higher World Trees, Ajax became immune to most cultivator resources. So, no matter how good a cultivation resource a Mythical Grade Tree gives, Ajax was no longer interested in it. "Sure." Of course, Sylvan didn''t believe Ajax''s words because even he, who was nurturing the High- level Spirit nts and Trees would get confused in identifying them. Not to mention, a young human who is not even 20 years old, saying that he identified all the Mythical Grade Spirit nts and Trees in the Middle Section of his Personal Garden. ''It looks like he was more interested in the Special Mythical Grade Trees. Good...good. Let''s see how he can resist the temptation of my Inner Section of the Personal Garden?'' Sylvan didn''t have any ill intentions towards Ajax, he was only interested in benefitting a little when exchanging treasures with others. So, he patiently waited for Ajax to get interested in something to strike a deal with him. "You have put a lot of effort into nurturing so many Mythical Grade Spirit nts and Trees, Uncle Sylvan." At the same time, he could not help but praise the Forest Dragon Emperor for his efforts. When he said those words, Ajax was genuinely praising the Forest Dragon Emperor because he knew exactly how difficult it was to nurture so many trees of such high grade. Ajax was only nurturing the trees for less than a year whereas the other party was nurturing them for the past 20000 years. In a cultivation world, spending time on something other than their own cultivation was not easy. "Let''s go." Soon, Sylvan guided Ajax into the Inner Section of the Personal Garden. ''The Essence of Nature....is very pure here. It''s almostparable to the Divine Essence of Nature from a Rank 1 Divine World.'' The moment Ajax set foot in the Inner Section, he was hit with a pure Essence of Nature, making him pleasantly surprised. "You must be surprised with the Pure Essence of Nature inside the Inner Section of my Garden, right?" Sylvan was satisfied with Ajax''s reaction. Seeing that Ajax nod his head, the Forest Dragon Emperor exined, "Among the ten Special Mythical Grade Trees I have nurtured in my Personal Graden, five of them are Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees." Pointing in a particr direction, Sylvan exined about the so-called Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees. "The Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees, as their name suggests, they nurture the Essence of Nature in the world to the purest form." "Along with the Emperor Grade Essence Gathering Arrays in my Personal Garden, the Essence of Nature is at its purest form." "If a normal soldier grade cultivator with average talent cultivates in this ce for a year, he could easily reach the King Realm and a decade to Emperor Realm." One thing after another, Sylvan proudly exined about the benefits of the Inner Section of his Personal Garden. Hearing those words, Ajax knew the other party was not lying. The Essence of Nature in the Inner Section was almost close to the Divine Essence of Nature inn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om a Rank 1 Divine World. "These Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees are really good...quite good." Ajax could not help but say these and his interest was piqued. However, he didn''t ask for them because he wanted to check the full details of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees before striking a deal with the Forest Dragon Emperor. Chapter 1960: Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree (2) Chapter 1960: Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree (2) ? For Ajax, the Special Mythical Grade Trees that increase the purity of the Essence of Nature are useful. Even if he didn''t nt them in his Divine Inner World, Ajax nned to nt them in the Purple Stone World, Five Elemental World and his other two worlds. With the essence nurtured by the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees, the cultivators and Spirit Beasts in his world could be powerful much sooner. ''Let''s check out the information on these Special Mythical Grade Trees first.'' As a habit, Ajax walked to the Five Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees and checked out their information. Although Sylvan exined about them, Ajax always makes sure to check the information on the things that pique his interest. ''Ding, Tree Name: Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree. Grade: Quasi-Divine. Current Age: 98000 years. Effect: Refines and nurtures the Essence of Nature to the maximum purest form possible in the world. Depending on its age, the area in which it could nurture the purest Essence of Nature. Note: The older the tree gets, the higher its area around it with pure Esence of Nature. Current Area of its Purest Essence of Nature: One kilometer radius. Information: A unique Quasi-Divine grade tree that doesn''t bear any fruits or has any abilities other than nurturing the Essence of Nature in the world it is connected to. ''T-this...it''s a Quasi-Divine Grade Tree?'' Ajax was shocked when he saw the system notification in front of him and hurriedly checked the information on the remaining four Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees. ''T-they are all Quasi-Divine Grade Trees.'' Seeing the same information for the remaining Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees, Ajax was shocked. Soon, Ajax''s shock turned into excitement. ''However, nurturing it for nearly 100,000 years old, the area it covers is only a one-kilometer radius.'' When he read it, Ajax could sense the difficulty in nurturing the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree. However, Ajax was still interested in it because he wanted to check something. "Uncle Sylvan, do you have any Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds or Saplings?" Ajax didn''t hesitate as he directly asked for the Heavenly Nurturing Tree Seeds from the Forest Dragon Emperor. ''Finally...he is interested in something.'' Hearing Ajax''s words, the Forest Dragon Emperor was excited. But, Sylvan didn''t show it on his face as he said, "Although I have one seed, I have paid a huge price to get it." With that, Sylvan started telling how difficult it was for him to get his hands on the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Seeds. "I received three seeds from my Grandfather who ascended to the Heavenly Bestial Realm 20000 years ago, just when I got control of this world and this personal garden." "As for the remaining Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds, I bought them by selling half of my territory." "After nurturing them for thousands and years, I have finally started getting returns on my investment." After saying all that, Sylvan came to the main point, "Actually, I want to sell it to you; however, it is going to be very costly. Moreover, you have to spend so many cultivation resources to make it sprout." "If it failed to sprout within a year after sowing into the ground, then it is an end for that seed." "So, my question is, are you willing to take such a huge gamble with your cultivation resources?" Although Sylvan was cunning and always tried to take advantage of other situations, he was always genuine and exined most of the cons of their trade.N?v(el)B\\jnn Not because he was kind-hearted; instead, he wanted to maintain a long-term rtionship with others and thus, he could sell them the cultivation resources produced by his garden to them at a premium price. Moreover, the other party would always think that Sylvan was giving them a huge discount. By now, in the entire Dragon Region, the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan, is known as the Kindest Dragon Trader. Even the human powerhouses like Sect Leaders were also his clients. Thus, despite having less battle prowess, Sylvan had huge connections and with a single word from him, many powerhouses woulde to his aid. Since Sylvan learned Ajax have lots of Giant Fire Crystals, thus, he nned to maintain a long- term rtionship with him and get a steady supply of Giant Fire Crystals from him. "Thanks for the warning and concern, Uncle Sylvan." Ajax thanked the Forest Dragon Emperor and continued, "I am willing to take risks when ites to nurturing Special Mythical Grade Trees like Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree." Ajax didn''t share the grade of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree because it would increase the price of the seed. Moreover, Ajax had long sensed the other party''s intentions. ''It feels good to take advantage of someone who thinks he is taking advantage of me.'' Ajax chuckled in his heart as he showed his determination to buy the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree. "Very well...that''s the spirit a young cultivator should have." The Forest Dragon Emperor praised Ajax on the surface as he secretly chuckled in his heart. "Continue checking the remaining Special Grade Mythical Grade Spirit nts and Trees to see whether you might like more things." Sylvan didn''t start discussing the price for the seed; instead, he asked Ajax to roam around the Inner Section of the Personal Garden to check the remaining five Mythical Grade Trees. "Sure." Ajax nodded his head as he was also curious about the remaining Special Mythical Grade Trees. The Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree was a good gain on his trip and Ajax hoped he would get more surprises from the remaining five Special Mythical Grade Trees. "Huh? Standard World Trees?" Soon, Ajax saw the familiar trees that were covered by the formations to hide their true form. Among the remaining five, there were three Standard World Trees, making Ajax disappointed a little. Because he already had enough World Trees and didn''t want more World Trees. So, he wanted to shift his focus to thest two remaining Special Mythical Grade Trees; however, his eyes lit up when he saw the information disyed about those Standard World Trees in front of Ajax. Chapter 1961: Deal with the Forest Dragon Emperor Chapter 1961: Deal with the Forest Dragon Emperor ? In the Inner Section of Sylvan''s Personal Garden, there are a total of 10 Special Mythical Grade Trees. Among them, five are Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees and the three are Standard World Trees. When Ajax saw the information disyed about those three Standard World Trees, Ajax''s eyes lit up because he thought of an easy way to get his hands on the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds from the Forest Dragon Emperor. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Tree Age: 98000 years. Fruits: Standard World Fruit. Ability: 1) Life Energy Generation, 2) World Essence Promoter. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Tree Age: 97000 years. Fruits: Standard World Fruit. Ability: 1) Smaller World Producer, 2) Seed Blessing. ''Ding, Tree Name: Standard World Tree. Grade: Special Mythical Grade. Tree Age: 99000 years. Fruits: Standard World Fruit. Ability: 1) Earth nt Essence, 2) World Essence st. Each one of the three Standard World Trees has two abilities; however, Ajax is not interested in those abilities. Instead, their age piqued Ajax''s attention because they were close to bing 100,000- year-old trees. ''I wonder whether Uncle Sylvan knows about the evolution of the Standard World Tree into the Higher World Tree?'' Ajax was curious about it; however, he didn''t ask directly. "Uncle Sylvan, these Standard World Trees look like they are close to bing 100,000 years old, right?" Instead, he probed the Forest Dragon Emperor whether he knew how to evolve the Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees. That''s right! Ajax hoped that the Forest Dragon Emperor didn''t know about the method and Ajax was nning to help him evolve all his Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees in exchange for the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds and other good items from Sylvan. The Higher World Tree is an evolved version of the Standard World Tree and obviously, it is more valuable and could provide more benefits to Sylvan. Hence, it was easy for Ajax to exchange the things he wanted for free from Sylvan. "Yes." Sylvan was surprised that Ajax could tell that the Standard World Tree was yet to reach 100,000 years and praised Ajax, "It looks like you have a good knowledge and technique rted to the Spirit nts and Trees." "A little bit. I also have Standard World Trees in the worlds I own." Unlike in the past, Ajax was no longer bothered to hide his wealth because right now, he could protect himself and his worlds. If the other party shows ill intentions, it would be even better for him because the other party was quite wealthy topensate for offending him. "What? You have Standard World Trees?" This time, Sylvan was shocked because he knew exactly how difficult it was to get the Standard World Trees. In the past, he had more than 100 Lesser World Tree seeds; however, Sylvan conducted experiments and tried to mutate them. Under countless efforts, the 100 Lesser World Tree Seeds eventually turned into three Standard World Trees. So, after learning about the Standard World Trees in Ajax''s possession, Sylvan''s view on Ajaxpletely changed. "Of course, they are less than 20,000 years old andpared to Uncle Sylvan''s Standard World Trees, they are considered saplings." Ajax tried to be modest as he finally asked the Forest Dragon Emperor, "Uncle, these three Standard World Trees are close to 100,000 years old, right? Then, why don''t you use the cultivation resources and turn them into official 100,000-year-old Trees?" With the cultivation resources under the Forest Dragon Emperor, it was a piece of cake for him to nurture the Standard World Trees to 100,000 years old. Hence, Ajax thought that there might be a reason, possibly, the other party might be trying to evolve them into Higher World Trees. "I can increase their age; however, by doing so, I will be taking away their possibility of evolving them into Higher World Trees." Sylvan liked Ajax more after learning that Ajax was also into the Spirit nts and Tree and he was even nurturing the Standard World Trees. So, he didn''t hide anything from Ajax and shared his insights and valuable knowledge with Ajax. "Are you telling me that as long as we let them grow on their own for thest couple of thousand years before 100,000 years would evolve them into Higher World Trees?" Ajax didn''t know about it and was pleasantly surprised. "The probability is very low...around 10 percent; however, I am hoping at least one of three Standard World Trees could evolve into Higher World Trees." Sylvan exined about it with a sigh because he knew that the chances of getting the Higher World Tree were very low. "Uncle Sylvan, shall we talk about our exchange of Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds now?" After learning that the Forest Dragon Emperor didn''t know about the evolution of the Standard World Trees, he became excited and decided to strike the deal. "Sure"N?v(el)B\\jnn Sylvan was also waiting for this time and when he heard Ajax bringing up the conversation about their exchange, he nodded his head with a slight smile on his face. "How many Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds do you have and how many are you willing to exchange with me?" Ajax asked about it, making Sylvan quite excited because he thought he would be getting so many Giant Fire Crystals from their exchange. "I have five seeds; however, I will exchange two seeds with you." Originally, Sylvan only nned to exchange one Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seed with Ajax; however, after learning that the other party was also a Spirit nt and Tree enthusiast, he decided to add another seed. "Five Seeds? But only trade two with me?" Ajax was excited when he heard that the other party had five seeds and finally revealed what he was going to offer in exchange for the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds. "If Uncle Sylvan can give me all Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds, I will help you evolve the three Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees. What do you say, Uncle?" Chapter 1962: Heavenly Dew Chapter 1962: Heavenly Dew ? Although the Standard World Tree and Higher World Tree both belong to the Special Mythical Grade, one is close to bing a Quasi Divine Grade Tree. Moreover, the treasures received from the Standard World Fruit are not close to the treasures received by the Higher World Tree. Thus, Ajax didn''t hesitate to ask all five Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds in exchange for helping the Forest Dragon Emperor evolve his three Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees. "What did you say?" The Greater Forest Dragon Emperor was shocked when he heard Ajax''s words; however, soon, he shook his head, "Stop joking kid." "Uncle Sylvan, I am not joking.'' Ajax knew that no one in his right mind would believe that he was capable of evolving the Standard World Tree. So, he was not surprised by Sylvan''s reaction and said, "Give me three Greater World Cores and enough cultivation resources to nurture these three Standard World Trees to 100,000." Although Ajax had a couple of Greater World Cores on him, he was not willing to use them for Sylvan''s sake. Moreover, he believed that the Forest Dragon Emperor would have some Greater World Cores or at least Normal World Cores. Thus, he asked for them. However, the Forest Dragon Emperor didn''t say anything or move from his ce. ''This coward.'' Ajax could tell that his new uncle was a coward who didn''t want to take unnecessary risks. Previously, he didn''t let his 100 subordinates enter the Greater Forest Dragon World at once and now, he was worried that something might happen to his Standard World Trees. ''Let''s try another thing then.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax changed the terms of his exchange, "If I sessfully evolve your Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees, then you have to reward me with the Five Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds." "If I fail to do that or if something unexpected happens along the process, then I willpensate Uncle with 10000 Giant Fire Crystals each for a Standard World Tree." Ajax felt the terms were enough to tempt the Forest Dragon Emperor as he asked, "What do you say, Uncle Sylvan? Will you agree to my deal?" Of course, to make his terms more tempting, Ajax took out more than 1000 Giant Fire Crystals and asked whether he agreed to his deal or not. "What?" The Forest Dragon Emperor already knew Ajax had Giant Fire Crystals; however, he didn''t expect the other party to have so many of them. "I agree...I agree." Seeing the confidence in Ajax''s eyes and at the same time, taking out so many Giant Fire Crystals, the Forest Dragon Emperor thought that Ajax might pull out the evolution of his three Standard World Trees. "Give me three Greater World Cores and enough cultivation resources to elerate the growth of these Standard World Trees to 100,000 years." As soon as Sylvamn agreed to Ajax''s deal, Ajax didn''t waste any time as he directly asked for the required ingredients for the evolution of the Standard World Tree. "Here." Without hesitation, the Forest Dragon Emperor took out three Greater World Cores as though they were not worth much in his eyes. The Forest Dragon Emperor might not be the strongest Dragon in the Dragon Region; however, when ites to wealth, he would be one of the wealthiest cultivators in the entire Universe. For someone like that, getting his hands on the Greater World Core was not hard. Of course, he paid so much to get them; however, he didn''t mind using them for the evolution of the Standard World Tree.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ''As long as the Standard World Tree evolves into a Higher World Tree, my investments are well worth it.'' The benefits received from the Higher World Tree are so high that the Forest Dragon Emperor prayed that Ajax would seed. Also, even if Ajax failed, the Forest Dragon Emperor believed that he could recover the Standard World Tree that Ajax worked on. If Ajax failed on the first Standard World Tree, the Forest Dragon Emperor wouldn''t let Ajax touch his remaining two Standard World Trees and at the same time, for failing to evolve the Standard World Tree, Ajax had to pay him lots of Giant Fire Crystals. So, whether Ajax seeds or fails, the Forest Dragon Emperor won''t lose anything. If Ajax failed, he would receive some gains; however, if Ajax became sessful, then the Forest Dragon Emperor''s gains would be immense. "This is called Heavenly Dew and a single drop can increase the age of the Standard World Trees by 1000 Trees after crossing 90000 years." Other than three Greater World Cores, the Forest Dragon Emperor gave Ajax a crystalline bottle filled with shiny water and exined about it. "Great item." Ajax took the crystalline bottle and said only two words about it. Generally, when the age of the Special Trees increases, the cultivation resources greatly lose their effect. However, a single drop of Heavenly Dew could still increase the age of the Special Trees by 1000 years even when the trees were close to 100,000 years. Hence, it was a great item for cultivators who nurture special items. ''If possible, I should get a bottle or two from Uncle Sylvan.'' Ajax silently thought to himself; however, he didn''t ask about it right away. As long as he could sessfully evolve the Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree, the Forest Dragon Emperor himself might gift him with a few bottles of the Heavenly Dew. ''Drip'' First, Ajax chose a Standard World Tree with 99000 years and poured a drop of Heavenly Dew on it and at the same time, he buried the Greater World Core beneath one of the roots of the Standard World Tree. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Thanks to the Heavenly Dew, the Standard World Tree''s growth rapidly increased and at the same time, the root started absorbing the World Energy from the Greater World Core buried under the ground. ''Swoosh'' ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully evolving the Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree. ''Ding, To help it evolve, the Higher World Tree has gifted you a Special Higher World Fruit. Chapter 1963: Evolving the Standard World Trees Chapter 1963: Evolving the Standard World Trees ? As soon as Ajax sessfully evolved one of the Standard World Trees into a Higher World Tree, a couple of system notifications rang in his head. The familiar ''Dings'' echoed, each note resonating with the significance of his achievement. ''Swoosh'' Simultaneously, a Dark Green-Coloured Fruit appeared in Ajax''s hands, pulsing with a faint, otherworldly glow. "T-this... it really evolved into a Higher World Tree. He really did it." The Greater Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan, was utterly shocked by the scene unfolding before him. His eyes widened, feeling the vibrant nt energy radiating from the newly evolved Higher World Tree. The tree stood taller and prouder, its leaves shimmering with a mystical light that signified its elevated status.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om On the other hand, Ajax remained calm and collected, a confident smile ying on his lips. He held the Dark Green-Coloured Fruit with a sense of satisfaction and pride. After contemting for a moment, he turned to Sylvan and asked, "Uncle Sylvan, you don''t mind me keeping this Special Higher World Fruit, right?" Whenever a World Tree sessfully evolved to the next grade, it would bestow a Special Fruit to the one who aided in its evolution. Despite the fact that Ajax was neither the owner of the Higher World Tree nor had he invested his personal cultivation resources in nurturing or evolving it, the Higher World Tree still chose to bestow him with a Special Higher World Fruit. It was an acknowledgment of his critical role in its transformation. Without Ajax''s assistance, the tree would have remained a Standard World Tree, never realizing its full potential. Sylvan shook his head, his expression a mix of admiration and resignation. "Since the Higher World Tree has bestowed the Special Higher World Fruit to you, I have no right to take it from you," he said, suppressing his heartache over losing the Special Higher World Fruit to Ajax. He understood the significance of the fruit and the value it held. In the past, Sylvan had received a Special Standard World Fruit. Consuming it had increased the awakening of his Divine Forest Rule from 45 percent to 50 percent. However, the Special Higher World Fruit was a hundred times more valuable and effective than a Special Standard World Fruit. The potential benefits it could bestow were immeasurable, yet Sylvan knew better than to let his desires cloud his judgment. The Higher World Tree, like other special trees, gained sentience at 1000 years and condensed a soul at 10,000 years. By the time it reached 100,000 years, it could be considered a Spirit Beast. Sylvan''s Higher World Tree, being 100,000 years old, was sentient and capable of understanding and forming opinions about its owner. Sylvan did not want to disappoint his Higher World Tree or appear as a bad owner in its eyes. "Thanks, Uncle Sylvan," Ajax said with a warm smile, genuinely grateful for the Dragon Emperor''s understanding. He then added, "Will you give me two more Greater World Cores to evolve the remaining two Standard World Trees?" Having sessfully evolved one Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree, Ajax had gained the trust of the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor. His request for additional resources was not unfounded but based on his proven capability. Sylvan, recognizing Ajax''s potential and sincerity, didn''t hesitate. He handed over two Greater World Cores and the necessary Heavenly Dew to Ajax. "Sure," Sylvan said, his tone reflecting his newfound confidence in Ajax. "Here are the two Greater World Cores and the Heavenly Dew you need." Ajax epted the resources with a nod of gratitude. Without wasting any time, he proceeded to the next Standard World Tree. With practiced precision and calm determination, he began the process of evolution. ''Swoosh'' The evolution process was swift and efficient, thanks to Ajax;s experience of evolving the World Trees. The trees began to glow, their aura intensifying until it finally reached its peak. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully evolving the Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree.'' ''Ding, To help it evolve, the Higher World Tree has gifted you a Special Higher World Fruit.'' . ¡¤ Ajax now held three Special Higher World Fruits, and he could not wait to consume them. "Nephew Ajax, thanks for your help." Calming himself, the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart. "There is no need to thank me, Uncle Sylvan. It is an equal trade," Ajax reminded the Forest Dragon Emperor about the Five Heaven Essence Gathering Tree Seeds. "Haha" Sylvan chucked and gave the seeds to Ajax without any hesitation. After that, Ajax took a walk in Sylvan''s personal garden, waited for all his Old Subordinates toplete their Body Tempering with the Sentient Fire named Forestfire. "Master, everyone haspleted their body tempering," Ajax received a voice transmission from one of his Old Subordinates, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief. "Uncle Sylvan, I will take my leave now," Ajax bowed to Sylvan in respect before leaving the Greater Forest Dragon World along with his Old Subordinates. Ajax had spent nearly one day with the Forest Dragon Emperor, sharing their thoughts regarding the Spirit nts and Trees. He had greatly benefitted from Sylvan''s knowledge and could not help but admire Sylvan for his vast knowledge. "Everyone, enter the Greater Jade Dragon World toplete the body tempering with your third Sentient Fire," Ajax gave the orders to his Old Subordinates, after their return to the Five Elemental World. To be the Divine Body Cultivators, they have to undergo the Body Tempering with three Sentient mes and so far, these Old Subordinates have sessfullypleted their Body Tempering with Stormfire and Forestfire. As long as theyplete the Body Tempering with the Jade Fire, Ajax could easily fulfil the other two requirements to help the Old Cultivators be the Divine Body Cultivators. ''Once they be the Divine Body Cultivators, I will let them use the Giant Elemental Crytals to quickly awaken their Divine Rules and increase their awakening percentage.'' Ajax was looking forward to that. ''Finally, it''s time to sow the Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree Seeds in the Inner World...sorry Divine Inner World.'' Chapter 1964: Planting the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, Surprise Chapter 1964: nting the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, Surprise ? ''Finally, it''s time to sow the Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree Seeds in the Inner World... sorry...it''s Divine Inner World now.'' Previously, Ajax wanted to turn his Old Cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators; however, after gaining the Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree Seeds, he changed his n a little. Of course, he wouldplete the Divine Body Cultivation for them as soon as he took care of the Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees which he believed wouldn''t take long as he only needed to sow them in the Divine Inner World. ''I might need to give them some of my Divine Essence of Nature or nt Essence to germinate them.'' Ajax silently thought in his head and with a thought, his Divine Spirit Consciousness Form entered the Divine Inner World. ''Go.'' ''Swoosh'' Inside the Divine Inner World, he is invincible and has incredible prowess, sowing seeds is very simple. The five Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree Seeds flew into the Divine Soil of the Divine Inner World. ''Should I pour some nt Essence now?''n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Sensing no changes from the Seeds, Ajax could not help but think of pouring the nt Essence. nt Essence was a natural treasure that could be used to nurture the Special Trees and Ajax had been using it to nurture his other Special Trees in the Divine Inner World. Therefore, he decided to use it as he has lots of nt Essence now which he collected from the Special Notice Service in the Trader''s Realm. With that thought in mind, Ajax pour a dozen drops of nt Essence on one of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds. ''Hm'' However, there was no movement whatsoever from the spot where he poured the nt Essence. Also, the dozen drops of nt Essence disappeared instantly but through the connection between him and his Divine Inner World, Ajax learned that he required lots of nt Essence to make the seed sprout. Nevertheless, it didn''t disappoint Ajax as it was still within his expectations. ''Since these Seeds belong to Quasi-Divine Grade Special Trees, I think I have to pour a huge amount of the nt Essence.'' Generally, the Special Trees below the age of 10000 years, only required one drop of nt Essence to nurture it for a year. However, the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree was so close to bing a Divine Grade Tree. So, of course, Ajax knew that it could not bepared with the growth cycle of the normal Special Trees and thus, he directly poured the nt Essence with a limit of one million drops of nt Essence on the same Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seed. Although there were four more seeds, Ajax wanted to sessfully sprout one of the Seeds and gain more understanding from it beforeing up with a good nurturing technique for the remaining seeds. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' Just when the amount of nt Essence he poured reached one million drops, sessfully a white-coloured sprout came out of the ground. ''One million Drops of nt Essence to just make it sprout? Are you kidding me?'' Ajax knew that it would be very difficult to nurture the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree; however, he didn''t expect that the cost of just sprouting it would be so high. ''Even the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor Sylvan won''t use so many drops of nt Essence to nurture the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree in a single go.'' When this thought came to his head, Ajax finally understood why Slyvan didn''t bother to nurture more Heavenly Essence Nurturning Trees despite having five extra seeds. The cost to nurture the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree was already so high and it took Slyvan tens of thousands of years before his investments started giving him returns. ''The same Million Drops of nt Essence is enough for the regr Special Trees like Standard World Trees or Soul Nurturing Trees to increase their age from 0 to 50000 years but the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree has just sprouted.'' Soon, Ajax wondered whether he could afford the nurturing of the Five Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees in his Divine Inner World. ''Swoosh'' Just as Ajax was worried about the nurturing of the Five Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees, he noticed that the sprout in front of him rapidly grew and in less than 10 seconds, the sprout had already turned into a small tree around the same height as Ajax. It was a small surprisepared to the system notification that appeared in front of him. ''Ding, The host has sessfully nurtured the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree for one year. ''Ding, The Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree has sessfully met one of the three requirements for its evolution. Please fulfil the remaining two requirements to evolve it. ''T-this....the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree will evolve?'' Looking at the two system notifications in front of him, Ajax could not help but be thoroughly shocked because he was not expecting this. Although he knew that he could sooner orter upgrade the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree into a Divine Grade Tree, Ajax was not expecting that he could directly evolve the tree. ''It didn''t mention anything about the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree bing a Divine Grade Tree; however, it was amon thing for a Quasi-Divine Grade Tree to be a Divine Grade Tree after an evolution, no matter how small and insignificant type of evolution the tree undergoes.'' Ajax''s confidence came from this as he hurriedly checked the evolution requirements of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree. ''Ding, The three requirements for the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree for its evolution are: 1) One-year growth of the Tree in a Divine World (Completed). 2) One Billion Units of Divine Essence of Nature (100 units of Divine Essence of Nautre collected so far). 3) One Divine Grade Fruit (Any type). Soon, the three requirements appeared in front of Ajax. ''So, the first requirement is not just because of the Divine Inner World but the tree should grow at least for one year.'' Looking at the first requirement of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, Ajax corrected his earlier assumption regarding triggering the evolution of the tree. Chapter 1965: 100 Divine Body Cultivators (1) Chapter 1965: 100 Divine Body Cultivators (1) ? Ajax thought that if the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree could trigger the evolution requirements just by nurturing it, the Greater Forest Emperor would have already evolved at least one of his Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees regardless of the huge requirement of the resources. Moreover, he would have definitely not given the five seeds to Ajax at any cost because a Divine Tree is iparably invaluable to the Greater World Trees. However, to trigger the Evolution Requirements, the seed of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree should be nurtured in a Divine World which is impossible for anyone to have other than Ajax in the Universe. ''My Divine Inner World has already started giving me some huge benefits. I wonder what kind of benefits I will receive in the future.''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ajax was excited regarding the future benefits of the Divine Inner World before focusing on the current situation. ''Although I fulfilled the first evolution requirement for Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, I can''tplete the other two requirements anytime soon.'' Despite being excited about sessfully triggering the Evolution Requirements for the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, Ajax didn''t forget the reality. Currently, the storage capacity of his Divine Spirit Consciousness was a little above one million units whereas to evolve the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, he was supposed to nurture it with one billion units of Divine Essence of Nature which was 1000 times his capacity.. Not to forget, he was nning to temper his body to be a Mid-level Divine Body Emperor Realm Cultivator. ''Not to mention, the third requirement which required a Divie Grade Fruit.'' Ajax bitterly shook his head as he epted that it would require time. For his Mid-level Divine Spirit Emperor Cultivation, he already required 11 Divine Grade Fruits and for the subsequent breakthrough in his Divine Spirit Cultivation, he might need more than 100 Divine Grade Fruits. All in all, Ajax''s goal while exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm, was to find Divine Grade Fruits. ''If I can''t find the Divine Grade Fruits in the Celestial Dawn Realm, then I could only try my luck in the Dark Region.'' Although the top sects and powerhouses from all the regions in the Universe have been exploring the Dark Region for millions of years, they barely explored the outskirts of the Dark Region due to the presence of Dark Energy. This Dark Energy not only corrodes the cultivator''s body the deeper he goes but the longer he stays in the Dark Region. ''Since I can''t evolve it into a Divine Tree anytime soon, let''s not waste any time nurturing the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree.'' ording to the evolution requirements, if Ajax increased the age of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree further, he could no longer evolve it into a Divine Tree and it would remain as a Quasi-Divine Grade Tree. ''I might trigger the evolution requirements in the future or find other ways but I don''t want to wait for the uncertainty.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at the remaining four Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds and repeated the same process with them. ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' Soon, the four remaining Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds sprouted one after another as Ajax received the pleasant system notifications. ''Ding, The Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree has sessfully met one of the three requirements for its evolution. Please fulfil the remaining two requirements to evolve it. ''Ding, The Heavenly Essence.... ''The purity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World has increased a little,'' Ajax was pleasantly surprised. Earlier, with one Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, Ajax didn''t notice the changes in the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World; however, with the sessful sprouting of the four more trees, Ajax noticed without even focusing. ''Just the one-year-old Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees can affect the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World, what will happen when they reach 1000, 10000, 100,000 or even 1,000,000 years old?'' Thinking about it made Ajax very excited; however, he knew it would be possible by ascending to the Heavenly Realm. ''Since I still have some time, I will cultivate inside the Divine Inner World.'' Once he stopped thinking about the future benefits brought by the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees to the Divine Inner World and to him, Ajax sat down and started circting his Cultivation Technique. It''s been a while since Ajax personally cultivated because the Divine Essence of Nature required for his cultivation and other uses was transmitted by his Contracted Elemental Spirits. Nevertheless, Ajax wanted to further speed up his Cultivation Speed to increase his Divine Body Cultivator to the Mid-level Emperor Realm before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. Time continued to pass and in a sh one day passed by, In the Five Elemental World, ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' One after another portals appeared in the Five Elemental World. From these portals, half-burnt old cultivators weakly walked out of the portals. Although they looked weak, their eyes looked visibly excited as though they achieved something that they never thought would achieve in their lives. "It is just the first step to bing a Divine Body Cultivator. Once he sessfully bes the Divine Body Cultivator, we can help the Master and young master take care of minor things." "Yeah. I thought the Master has the most potential to be the Ruler of the Universe; however, the young master has even more potential." "With their potential, why would they bother to be the ruler of the Universe in an Earth Realm like ours? Their future achievements lie in the Heavenly Realms." "Once we sessfully be the Divine Body Cultivators and increase our Life Span, we might ascend to the Heavenly Realms and help the Master and the Young Master." "Yes, I believe that we can now dream of ascending to the Heavenly Realms." "Idiots, there is no need to dream of anything. Everything is up to the Master and the Young Master to decide.". ¡¤ The Old Cultivators rxed on the ground as they chatted among themselves while waiting for their Young Master. The master and the young master they were talking about were none other than Ajax and his father Aron. Originally, they believed that Aron had abandoned them and they would die without the hopes of further growth in their cultivation. However, he returned along with his son and helped them be the Divine Body Cultivators and once they sessfully converted their Normal Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation, their life span doubled and they could live for another 10000 years. They have sessfully tempered their bodies with the three Sentient mes, the Jade Fire, Forest Fire and the Stormfire from the Greater Jade Dragon World, Greater Forest Dragon World and the Stormfire Wyvern World respectively. Although they didn''t know the further steps to be the Divine Body Cultivators, they had absolute trust in their Master. .... In the Divine Inner World, As the 100-year-old cultivators have sessfully returned to the Five Elemental World after tempering their bodies with three Sentient mes, Ajax was diligently cultivating inside the Divine Inner World. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully tempering your body with 10 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''It''s time to be the Mid-level Divine Body Emperor.'' Chapter 1966: 100 Divine Body Cultivators (2) Chapter 1966: 100 Divine Body Cultivators (2) ? After his Inner World evolved into a Divine Inner World, the Divine Essence of Nature in it was already pure. With the addition of the five-one-year-old Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree, the quality of the Divine Essence of Nature increased a little along with the huge increment in the quantity of the Divine Essence of Nature. Previously, he was worried that his full cultivation speed along with his Contracted Elemental Spirits wouldn''t be sufficient for the Divine Inner World to keep the regeneration of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, things changed with the help of the Five Sprouts of the Quasi-Divine Trees. Currently, the rate at which he was absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature per minute was 10,000 units per minute, not to mention when he activated his Divine Jade Rule which temporarily boosts his cultivation speed by 10 times for half an hour. Other than that, he could receive another 10,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per minute from his Contracted Elemental Spirits. Adding all sources of the Divine Essence of Nature, in just 10 hours, Ajaxpleted his small goal of body tempering with 9 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. ''Phew, I finallypleted all the requirements for Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator and there are hardly any changes in the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after confirming the Quality and Quantity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World. Although he had a Divine Inner World, unlike other cultivators, he was pursuing Divine Spirit Cultivation and Divine Body Cultivation which required huge amounts of the Divine Essence of Nature, making no matter how much Divine Essence of Nature he had insufficient. Moreover, he was worried that the quality and quantity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World would be affected. ''ording to my calctions, I can easily convert all the 100 Old Cultivators into Divine Body Cultivators and there would still be 90 percent of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World.'' Ajax was delighted with therge quantity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World. Ajax roughly estimated that there would be one billion units of the Divine Essence of Nature inside the Divine Inner World and it would replenish one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature on its own. ''Anyway, let''splete the breakthrough to the Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator and focus on converting the Old Followers.'' Soon, Ajax kept aside his thoughts and checked the system notifications in front of him. ''Ding, The requirements to be a Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator are: 1) The storage capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness has to be 100,000 units. (Completed). 2) The host needs to temper his body with 10 million units of Divine Essence of Nature (10 million units/10 million units), (Completed). 3) Needs to underdo the body temping with Five Sentient mes. (Completed). ''Ding, Host, do you want to break through to the Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator? ''Yes'' Without hesitation, Ajax nodded and in the next moment, Ajax felt a mystical golden light cover his body. ''Agh'' This golden light didn''t bring any pain; instead, it made Ajax moan in pleasure as though he was receiving a gentle massage, releasing all the pressure he had stored in his muscles from tempering his body. At the same time, this golden light seemed to be a faintyer around his body as though it was bing an invisible armour around his body. Not just the body, but even his Inner Organs were covered by this faintyer of golden light. Since he had alreadypleted the three requirements for the breakthrough, it didn''t take long for the process toplete as Ajax received the subsequent system notifications after the breakthrough. ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully bing a Mid-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator. ''Ding, The host''s lifespan has increased by 30000 years. Current Life Span: Can''t be calcted by the system. Note: For regr divine body cultivators, their lifespan increases from 20,000 to 50,000 years; however, Ajax''s lifespan was already more than 20,000 years because of the natural treasures he ate. ''Ding, The host''s sess rate in ascending to the Heavenly Realm increased by 10 percent. Current Sess Rate: 50 percent. ''Ding,n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The host''s resistance to the Evil Energy and Poisons increased by a good margin. ''These after-breakthrough system notifications are always good to read.'' Ajax chuckled, looking at the system notifications in front of him. The first one was a huge increase in his Lifespan and as for why the system was unable to calcte his Lifespan, Ajax didn''t know and didn''t bother asking because he already did in the past but the system didn''t give any replies. ''It only asked me to ascend to the Heavenly Realm to know about it and the sooner I breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm, the more beneficial it would be for me.'' Ajax was not worried much about it because he was not short on the Lifespan. As for the sess rate, he was happy about it and even without the system showing it, Ajax could roughly guess his sess rate. ''20 percent from the Divine Body Cultivation and 20 from the Divine Spirit Cultivation and another 10 percent from the pills I refined in the past.'' Ajax smiled a little and looked at thest benefit he received from his breakthrough. As for his resistance towards the Evil Energy and Poison, Ajax was happy because he would soon be exploring the Dark Region that was filled with various evil and poison energies. ''Anyway, the most important thing I am waiting for is the changes my breakthrough brought towards the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules.'' Ajax quickly focused on the Divine Rules. Previously, thanks to his Low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator, the cap on the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules has been increased by percentage, making him invincible below the mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivators who awakened their Divine Rules 40 percent. Thus, he wanted to check how much of the awakening percent of the Divine Rules he could use now after the breakthrough. Chapter 1967 100 Divine Body Cultivators (3) 1967 100 Divine Body Cultivators (3) "Huh? There are no changes in them?" Ajax realized all his Divine Rules were capped at 30 percent awakening, and any additional progress was sealed. ''Ding, Although the host''s body has be much stronger after reaching the Mid-level Emperor Realm in his Divine Body Cultivation, 30 percent is the maximum awakening percentage for the Divine Rules at his current stage. ''Ding, Only by making progress in his Divine Spirit Cultivation can the cap for the Divine Rules increase. ''Ding, At that point, the host will have a higher cap for the Divine Rules'' awakening percentagepared to regr spirit cultivators. Even among Divine Spirit Cultivators, you will have a higher limit, thanks to your Divine Body Cultivation. Before Ajax could ask the system about it, a series of notifications appeared, making him bitterly nod his head in response. He understood now that the only way to fully utilize his Divine Rules was by advancing his Divine Spirit Cultivation to the Mid-level Emperor Realm. ''Once I explore the Celestial Dawn Realm, I can assassinate the Sect Leader of the Celestial Dawn Sect and obtain 10 Divine Grade Fruits. As for the eleventh fruit, I hope I can find it in the Celestial Dawn Realm,'' Ajax silently nned, before checking out another important system notification. "System, show me the requirements for reaching the High-level Emperor Realm in my Divine Body Cultivation." It had be Ajax''s habit to check the requirements for the next realm in his cultivation after every breakthrough. Soon, the system responded. ''Ding, The requirements to be a High-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivator are: 1) The storage capacity of Divine Spirit Consciousness must reach one million units. (Completed). 2) The host needs to temper his body with 1 billion units of Divine Essence of Nature (0 units / 1 Billion units) ¨C yet to bepleted. 3) Undergo body tempering with 25 Sentient mes ¨C yet to bepleted. "T-this..." Ajax was shocked when he saw the requirements, unable to believe his eyes for a moment. Although he knew that the requirements would be more challenging as his cultivation progressed, the difficulty was far greater than he had expected. The body tempering with 1 billion units of Divine Essence of Nature might be difficult; however, as long as Ajax puts in some effort, it could bepleted. However, thest requirement waspletely out of his expectations. For the Low-level Emperor Realm Divine Body Cultivation, it required tempering with three Sentient mes; and for the Mid-level Emperor Realm, it was five Sentient mes. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Now, for the High-level Emperor Realm, it required a whopping 25 Sentient mes to temper his body with. ''In the entire Universe, there were less than 20 known Sentient mes and I have already tempered my body with 8 Sentient mes among them,'' Ajax rubbed his temples while thinking about it. ''Forget it. For now, I will focus on my Divine Spirit Cultivation and the fulfilment of the body tempering with the Divine Essence of Nature.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax stopped worrying about his Divine Body Cultivation and focused on his current things. ''I think they must have all arrived and rested enough toplete the conversion of their Normal Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation.'' With a sh, Ajax''s Divine Conscious Form disappeared from the Divine Inner World as his real body in the Five Elemental World opened his eyes. ¡­.. In the Five Elemental World, "Young Master." Seeing Ajax open his eyes, the 100 Old Cultivators, who recovered a little by now, respectfully greeted. "So, everyone is ready to be the Divine Body Cultivators, right?" Ajax asked them with a slight smile and the old cultivators nodded their heads in response with excitement. "Good. Everyone, close your eyes and no matter what happens, you should not open your eyes." Ajax didn''t waste any time as he wanted to finish this task before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm which would open in a day or two and most of the eligible cultivators might have already gathered at the Celestial Dawn Sect. "Yes, young monster." Although they didn''t know how the young master was going to help them convert into Divine Body Cultivators, they neither doubted nor questioned his orders as they followed them. ''Enter the Divine Inner World.'' ''Swoosh'' Ajax muttered to himself and the 100 old cultivators in front of him disappeared without a trace. ''Huh?'' ''What happened to my Spirit Sense? Why can''t I sense my surroundings?'' The moment they entered the Divine Inner World, the 100 Old Cultivators panicked as their spirit sense was blocked by a mysterious force. For the Emperor-level Cultivators, even if they closed their eyes, they could still sense their surroundings more clearly than with their eyes open. "Don''t worry about your Spirit Sense. It will be temporary." Noticing their anxious expressions, Ajax assured them and at the same time, he was delighted that these Old Cultivators were still following his orders of not opening their eyes. The blockage of their Spirit Sense was caused by Ajax using the abilities of the Divine Inner World. Previously, Ajax was worried about bringing others into his Inner World no matter how loyal they were to him; however, after the upgradation of the Divine Inner World, the features of the Inner World upgraded as he could block the Spirit Sense of those who he brought into the Divine Inner World. Without sprint sense, they can''t sense the difference between the Divine Inner World and the Five Elemental World. Even if they opened their eyes, they could not tell they were inside a Divine World but some unknown ce in the Five Elemental World. As the leader of the Five Elemental World, Ajax could bring them anywhere in the Five Elemental World with a thought as long as they didn''t resist fiercely. "First, calm yourself and I will start the process." Ajax didn''t start the conversion of their Normal Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation; instead, he gave them some time to adjust their condition.

Although the Old Cultivators recovered greatly while resting in the Five Elemental World, they were not healedpletely. Ajax didn''t want any mishaps to happen after he started the process. Thus, he ordered the Life Elemental Spirit Spirus and Flower Elemental Spirit Floris to cast their healing skills to heal the 100 Old Cultivators. ''Swoosh'' With the current level of these two Life Elemental Spirits, it was even possible to heal those who were in a near-death statepletely. Healing minor injuries was a small thing. In no time, the Old Cultivators werepletely healed, surprising them; however, they knew it was their Young Master''s doing and focused on adjusting their state. In a sh, one hour passed by as all the Old Cultivators returned to their peak state before they heard Ajax''s words. "As you know, the Regr Body Cultivation is painful; however, the Divine Body Cultivation is 10 times more painful than that. So, endure it and enjoy the fruits of your efforts after bing the Divine Body Cultivators." "Yes, Young Master." Everyone shouted out loud in response to Ajax''s motivational words. "Let''s begin the process now." Once he got the response, Ajax no longer wasted any time as he directly started the process by taking out the 500 million Supreme Spirit Stones belonging to five different elements Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Metal. ''Ding, Do you want to use the Supreme Spirit Stones on your Old Followers toplete one of the requirements for their Divine Body Cultivation? ''Yes.'' Ajax nodded and let the system take care of the next step in the process of converting the Body Cultivation of his Old Followers. ''Swoosh'' ''Kacha'' As soon as Ajax gave the signal, the elemental energies from the five types of Supreme Spirit Stones gushed out, leaving behind the cracked crystal shells. The five types of energies seemed to merge together; however, at the same time, they were not merged. Soon, the seemingly merged Five-Energy Lump got separated into 100 equal portions before entering into the bodies of the Old Cultivators standing in front of Ajax. ''Aargh'' The 100 Old Cultivators felt a sharp pain all over their bodies; however, they gritted their teeth and endured it. Although it was painful, it was still less painful than what they had imagined. So, after the initial sudden gasp, the Old Cultivators didn''t let out any sounds and easily endured it. ''Not bad¡­not bad.'' Looking at the Old Cultivators, Ajax was surprised for a moment because he felt they could cry in pain because he knew exactly how painful the process of the Five-Energy Lump entering the body. However, when he thought about it, Ajax was not surprised because these Old Cultivators have lived for nearly 10000 years and have gone through many painful situations. Thus, they were able to easily adjust to the current painful situation they were going through. Time continued to pass and in a sh, five hours passed by as the Five Energy Lump in the bodies of the 100 Old Cultivators waspletely integrated and made them a little stronger. ''Ding, The host''s followers have sessfully fulfilled the second requirement for the conversion of their Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation. With the integration of the Five-Energy Lump, two requirements werepleted and only thest one remains. ''Striving the iron while it''s hot is the best thing to do.'' As someone who had gone through the process, Ajax knew exactly what''s the best way toplete the conversion of the Body Cultivation. ording to his assumption, after the Five-Energy Lump was integrated into the body, it was the best time to fulfil the third requirement for the Divine Body Cultivation which was tempering the body with the Divine Essence of Nature. ''The five energies that are integrated into the body give a powerful temporary healing factor to the cultivator, thus, making it the best time to go through the painful tempering processes.'' Thanks to that powerful healing factor, no matter how dangerous the tempering process is, it won''t kill the cultivator. Therefore, Ajax wanted to make use of that and started thest step of the Divine Body Cultivation for his Old Followers. ''Initially, I thought ofpleting the third step inside the Floating Ind; however, with Divine Inner World, I don''t have to worry about entering it again so soon.'' Thest requirement for Divine Body Cultivation was tempering the body with one million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. The Divine Inner World could replenish its Divine Essence of Nature with time. So, Ajax was not worried much about it. Moreover, he had another reason for choosing the Divine Inner World and it was his full control of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World. Inside the Divine Inner World, Ajax could maintain the speed at which his Old Followers temper their body with and speed up the procedure unlike in the Floating Ind where he had to wait for years because of the absence of the Divine Essence of Nature. Even after considering the Time eleration in the Floating Ind, it would take weeks if not months in the real world toplete the tempering with millions of Spirit Essence of Nature. ''Let''s test 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature per minute first.'' Nevertheless, Ajax didn''t rush things as he didn''t know exactly how many units of the Divine Essence of Nature could his Old Cultivator endure at a time. So, he started with 1000 units which Ajax was confident that any regr Emperor Realm Cultivator could endure, not to mention his Old Cultivators who had undergone the tempering with three Sentient mes, integrated with the energy from the Five Million Supreme Spirit Stones and gained a powerful temporary healing factor. ''Aargh'' As soon as the 1000 units of Divine Essence of Nature started tempering their bodies, the Old Cultivator felt a pain that they had never imagined in their entire lives. It was their first timeing into contact with the Divine Essence of Nature. So, of course, the process felt very painful because their skin was slowly tearing apart. ''Swish'' However, at the same time, the tearing-off skin started healing but the process remained painful. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

N?v(el)B\\jnn vinayraj Chapter 1969 Celestial Dawn Realm Opens Chapter 1969 Celestial Dawn Realm Opens For others, the process the Old Cultivators underwent might seem unbearably painful; however, Ajax remained calm as he silently observed it. ''Hm¡­looks like I can increase the tempering speed.'' After observing for an hour,Ajax felt their healing factor was much higher than he expected. So, he decided to speed up the process slowly. ''1100 Units of Divine Essence of Nature,'' Ajax slowly increased the rate at which the body tempering was done by the Divine Essence of Nature. Although he was confident that the Old Cultivators could endure more than 1500 units of the Divine Essence of Nature per minute, Ajax felt it better to temper their bodies at a gradually increasing Divine Essence of Nature. ''Let''s continue.'' After observing the Old Cultivators for a few minutes, Ajax increased the flow of the Divine Essence of Nature by another 100 units, making 1200 units of Divine Essence of Nature per minute. Time continued to pass and after a couple of hours, Ajax stopped increasing the Divine Essence of Nature to 1800 units for the Old Cultivators to temper their bodies which seemed like it was their limit. ''There is no need to put them through any higher pain than this.'' Ajax was satisfied with the rate at which the Old Cultivators were tempering their bodies and no longer increased, worried that their bodies might explode if he increased the Divine Essence of Nature any further. ''I have been waiting for a fortuitous encounter and here ites.'' ''I have to endure it.'' ''As long as I am sessful, I have another 10000 years to live which is enough to ascend to the Heavenly Realm together with the Master and Young Master.'' . . . While Ajax was silently observing the Old Cultivators, they gritted their teeth and endured the unbearable pain, motivating themselves. What gives them the will to bear such an unbearable pain? Only Self Motivation. Even Ajax knew that and thus, he was hoping them to temper their will alongside their tempering of the bodies. After 11 hours, Thest step of the Divine Body Cultivation for the Old Cultivators started at dawn and now, it is dusk. During the first hour of the session, they tempered with around 60,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature; however, after a couple of hours, they were tempered with more than 100,000 units per hour. Thus, it took them around 11 hours to sessfully fulfil thest step for the Divine Body Cultivation which was to temper the body with one million units of Divine Essence of Nature. ''Thud'' ''Thud'' Suddenly, the old cultivators started falling to the ground one after another with tired looks on their faces. However, their eyes shone with excitement as though they aplished something that they never thought would aplish in their lives. ''Snore'' Soon, they started snoring without worrying about their safety because they had absolute trust in their Young Master who would protect them while they recovered their strength. For thest couple of days, the Old Cultivators went through a lot and it was nothing surprising for them to be very tired despite changing their lives just now. Once they wake up, even the Emperor Realm Cultivators with 20 percent awakened Divine Rules can''t break their bodies'' raw defences. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for sessfully helping the 100 Old Followers be the Divine Body Cultivators. ''Phew¡­everyone seeded in converting their Regr Body Cultivation into Divine Body Cultivation.'' As for Ajax, he heaved a sigh of relief when he received the system notification because he was worried about the unknown mishaps that might ur during the process. It was Ajax''s first time helping others convert their Regr Body Cultivator and no matter how careful and confident he was, there were always unknown factors in such a heaven-defying process. Even if he was sessful, Ajax feared that one or two Old Cultivators might not make it out of it alive. Hence, when he saw that everyone was alive and sleeping like logs while snoring, the hidden pressure in Ajax''s heart disappeared. ''Since the major task ispleted, I can focus on the Celestal Dawn Realm that will be opening anytime soon.'' Ajax was happy for the old cultivators; however, he didn''t lose himself in that happiness and focused on the next major event. With that thought in mind, Ajax found a spot to sit and start thinking about the Celestial Dawn Realm until the Old Cultivators woke up from their sleep. ''Swiish'' The next morning, while Ajax was half-cultivating and half-thinking about his ns, a talisman flew out of his space ring. ''It''s the Ticket to the Celestial Dawn Realm. Finally, it''s opening.'' The floating talisman was none other than the entry ticket to the Celestial Dawn Realm and currently, it was shining brightly. Without thinking much, Ajax knew that theCelestial Dawn Realm was finally opening and by tearing the Ticket, he could directly enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''The Ticket Holder can enter theCelestial Dawn Realm anytime now for the next one day; however, you will be kicked out of the realm exactly seven days from now. Happy venturing.'' At the same time, a thought appeared in his head which was prepared by the Celestial Dawn Sect to remind the Cultivators who were entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''The Old Cultivators have already woken up and they could go with me any time now.'' ''But, let''s not rush into the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' Ajax revealed a cunning smile as he quickly informed close ones who qualified to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm to meet him at the World Tree in the Five Elemental World. ''It''s time to make full use of my Divine Inner World.'' Although Ajax had enough time to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, he didn''t want to waste time as he directly sent the 100 Old Cultivators into his Divine Inner World. Of course, he didn''t forget to seal off their senses to stop them from checking out his Inner World. ''Teleport'' With a thought, he appeared in front of the Standard World Tree, where a few cultivators were already waiting for him. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1970 Sect Leader Therons Omen Chapter 1970 Sect Leader Theron''s Omen N?v(el)B\\jnn ''It''s time to make full use of my Divine Inner World.'' When Ajax muttered this line, he was thinking about bringing as many qualified followers and friends as he could. Earlier, Ajax didn''t n to do this because before his Inner World upgraded to the Divine Inner World, he couldn''t seal the senses of those who entered his Inner World. However, things are different now, and Ajax is no longer worried about such things and has decided to make full use of his Divine Inner World. "Are you all ready to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm?" Looking at the gathered group of individuals before him, Ajax asked with a smile. "Yes." Aron, Ajax''s father, was first to reply because he knew more things about the Celestial Dawn Realmpared to others and he could not wait to enter it. Siora, Ajax''s fiancee was calm but the excitement in her eyes was clearly visible as it was her second official adventure in this realm. Previously, she went to the Floating Ind with Ajax and benefited greatly, bing a powerhouse in the universe. Behind her, there were more than a dozen Forest Elves which Emperor Realm Cultivation. They met the entering criteria for the Celestial Dawn Realm and with Ajax''s permission, Siora decided to bring them. "Master, we won''t disappoint you." Besides Aron and Siora, there were Ajax''s transformed contracted spirit beasts Raweth, Snow, Sparrow, and Nova. They might be Ajax''s contracted spirit beasts but they are also the leaders of their tribes. Raweth is the tribe leader of the Sun Fire Crows, Snow is the tribe leader of the Heavenly Lightning Hawks, Sparrow is the Queen of the Nether Ice Sparrow Tribe and Nova is the Lord of the Mountain Lions. Just like Siora, each one of them was bringing 10 young Emperor Realm Spirit Beasts from their tribes. Although there were other tribes in the Five Elemental World like the Wolf Tribes,pared to the Lion and Bird Tribes, they were rtively weak and needed some time, making Ajax not bring them into the Celestial Dawn Realm. "Great" Ajax nodded and said, "By the time you open your eyes, you will be inside the Celestial Dawn Realm." As soon as he finished his words, Ajax waved his hand, bringing nearly 60 cultivators and spirit beasts into his Divine Inner World. Adding to the 100 Old Cultivators, there were nearly 160 members, who fell into a deep slumber in the Divine Inner World. "It''s finally time to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm." Without further ado, Ajax tore the Entry Ticket to the Celestial Dawn Realm and soon, a bright white light covered Ajax. ''Swoosh'' In the next few seconds, Ajax''s entire body turned into tiny Light Particles and disappeared without a trace. ... In the Main Hall of the Celestial Dawn Sect, "Sect Leader, all preparations rted to the Celestial Dawn Realm arepleted." One of the Sect Elders informed the Sect Leader Theron with an excited look on his face. "Stop celebrating already! Wait until our 10000-Year n to be sessful." However, Sect Leader Theron has mixed expressions on his face. They, the Celestial Dawn Sect have been preparing for this week for 10000 years. Although they were very thorough with their preparations, the Sect Leader Theron had a bad feeling in his heart. "Sect Leader, there is no need to worry about it. There is no way anything will go wrong with our n unless someone descends from the Heavenly Realm." However, the Sect Elder thought that the Sect Leader was thinking too much and worried unnecessarily. So, he tried boosting the Sect Leader''s confidence with his words. "I hope I am worrying for nothing." Even Sect Leader Theron knew that it was impossible for anything to go wrong with their n but the feeling in his heart made him ufortable. "Anyway, let''s make some additional preparations. Wake up all the Special Sect Guardians, along with the Sect Ancestor to stay guard at the entrance of the Celestial Dawn Realm." In the end, the Sect Leader Theron decided to follow his heart and ordered the Sect Elder to make additional preparations, shocking the Elder. The Elder didn''t think much about waking the Sect Guardians; however, waking up the Sect Ancestor¡­.he felt the Sect Leader was taking things a little too carefully. All sects, especially the top sects of the Universe have Special Sect Guardians who were the previous generation''s Sect Elders. When they were nearing the end of their Life Spans, they would enter the slumbering seclusion to live for thousands of years to protect the sect when needed. As for the Sect Ancestors, they were the Old Sect Leaders who failed to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and simr to the Special Sect Guardians entered the Slumbering Seclusion to preserve themselves. Unless it was a Life and Death situation for the Sect, these entities were not supposed to be disturbed; however, now, the Sect Leader was willing to go as far as waking them up. From this, one could understand how much he was worried about the ominous feeling in his head that he gave the order to wake up those slumbering entities. "Yes, Sect Leader." Nevertheless, the Elder decided to follow the Sect Leader''s orders because he knew the Sect Leader wouldn''t give the orders easily but once given, he wouldn''t change them. Soon after, the Elder quietly left to execute the orders of the Sect Leader. ''Is that bad premonition in my heart regarding me or the Celestial Dawn Sect?'' Theron wondered for a moment before concluding, "It might be rted to the Sect because, upon sessful execution of the 10000-year n, the Celestial Dawn Sect will be the Sole Ruler of the Entire Universe and a slight mistake make it disappear from the face of this universe." Once he concluded it, Theron felt a little calm; however, he was hoping that the 10000-year n would go without any mishaps. At the same time, in the various Greater Words from different regions of the universe, all the cultivators started tearing the Celestial Dawn Realm tickets to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm. Chapter 1971 Dusk Monster Vine Chapter 1971 Dusk Monster Vine Celestial Dawn Realm, as its name suggests, was a copy of a Celestial Realm of the Immortals. Pure white clouds covered in a golden halo hovered in the Golden Skies, the never-setting Celestial Star that radiates celestial light for the entire Celestial Dawn Realm. More than half of the Realm was covered in the bioluminescent forest, hiding who knows how many mysteries and unknown dangers. As for the remaining half, it was covered in sparkling rivers and residence to unknown spirit beasts, sharp mountainous terrains that were filled with hidden caves and holes. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Currently, many portals opened in the Celestial Dawn Realm as human cultivators, demons, dragons and other spirit beast cultivators walked out of them with both caution and excitement. Somewhere in the bioluminescent forest, ''Swoosh'' Unlike most of the participants entering the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax was the least worried one as he walked out of the portal at leisure. ''T-this¡­'' The moment he officially entered the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax was shocked. ''Ding, The system has detected the existence of the Divine Essence of Nature in the Celestial Dawn Realm. Even without the system notification, Ajax had already sensed the existence of the Divine Essence of Nature and it was the reason he was shocked a moment ago. ''The existence of the Divine Essence of Nature is definitely a good sign.'' Soon, his shock turned into excitement, making Ajax confident in his mission to search for the Divine Fruits. The Divine Essence of Nature is a more advanced and the purest form of the Essence of Nature in the universe. The reason why there were no Divine Fruits in the Universe was because of theck of the Divine Essence of Nature; however, since it exists in the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax became confident in finding the Divine Fruits here. ''With Divine Fruits, I can rapidly break through to the next realm in my cultivation and when that happens, I will be invincible in the entire universe.'' With his current battle prowess, Ajax was not afraid of anyone in the entire universe; however, he believed he was still not invincible. However, don''t forget that he was still a low-level Emperor¡­but in a Divine Spirit Cultivation. But things wouldpletely change when he breakthroughs to the mid-level Emperor Realm in his Divine Spirit Cultivation where the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules will be unlocked directly to 50 percent. ''Looks like the Celestial Dawn Realm is more precious than I imagined.'' Ajax was expecting the Celestial Dawn Realm to give him some good surprises; however, he was already shocked just by entering it. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om As for what other surprises are hidden inside the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax was looking forward to them. ''Swiish'' ''ng'' Amidst his thoughts, a purple-coloured vine sneaked an attack on him; however, thanks to his Divine Senses unlocked from the Divine Spirit Cultivation, Ajax easily blocked it. ''Swoosh'' ''Such precious treasurednd would of course notck strong creatures.'' However, when he blocked the vine, Ajax was still pushed back by a few steps, making him realise that it was strong. ''Hiss'' The vine hissed in anger as it was its first time missing its target. ''Swiish'' Nevertheless, it knew that the target it encountered was much stronger than its previous targets. Thus, it didn''t waste any time in going all out in taking care of its target. ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' In the next second, more than a dozen simr-looking purple vines sneaked at Ajax, aiming to kill him in one scoop. ''Inheritance Sword'' With a thought, his favourite sword appeared in his hands and without hesitation, he used the sword move, [Thousand des Torrent] ''sh'' ''sh'' What followed next was the appearance of the thousand des around Ajax that chopped the dozens of purple vines into tiny pieces. ''Was it an overkill?'' Soon, Ajax realized that normal sword shes would have easily taken care of those purple vines. ''It looks like I still need time to understand my own strength.'' Ajax''s strength has grown rapidly and although he had lots of fights, the rate at which he was growing was still faster. ''It''s alright! This ce is perfect for me to better understand my strength.'' With that thought in mind, Ajax looked at the disappearing bits of pieces of the Purple Vines around him. ''Huh? What is that?'' Ajax was surprised a bit to see them disappearing; however, what truly surprised him was a purple-coloured seed. ''Swoosh'' The moment Ajax picked it up, the information about the seed appeared in his head, giving him another pleasant surprise. ''Is this how you get treasures in the Celestial Dawn Realm?'' Ajax realized that by killing the creatures in the realm, they would leave behind treasures and picking them up would give them brief information rted to those treasures. ''It''s quite convenient for the participants entering the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' When there was no information about something, it was hard for the cultivators to tell the real value of them; however, the Celestial Dawn Realm was helping the participants with such information on the treasures. ''Ding, Item Name: Dusk Monster Vine Seed. Grade: Mythical. Information: A special type of nt life form that can be either cultivated inside the cultivator''s Spirit Consciousness or on the specialnds. When grown inside the Cultivator, they assist the cultivators in their fights and be the best battlepanions. They are called Companion Vines whereas the other types of vines that are grown on thend, are called Garden Vines, as they are used mostly to protect the gardens grown by the cultivators. More Information: Amon entity in the Bioluminescent Forests of the Celestial Dawn Realm. Special Ability: It can rapidly grow by devouring vines of the same type. Simrly, a Companion Vine can sense the other Companion Vines and devour them to speed up its growth whereas the Garden Vines are required to speed up the growth of the other Garden Vines. At the same time, the system haspleted his analysis of the seed in Ajax''s hand and given him theplete data regarding the seed. ''As always, you are very thorough, System.'' Ajax smiled at the data provided by the system becausepared to the data he received from the Celestial Dawn Realm, it provided a lot more information, making Ajax think of some ns for the Monster Vine Seed in his hand. Chapter 1972 Welcome Gift? Chapter 1972 Wee Gift? The information he received about the Monster Vine Seed from the Celestial Dawn Realm didn''t say anything about the Garden Form. It only mentioned the Companion Form. ''It looks like the Celestial Dawn Realm wants all the participants to fight each other.'' When he first received information about the Monster Vine Seed from the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax was half sure about it; however, after learning about hidden information about the Monster Vine Seed from the System, he became 100 percent sure. ''As expected the Celestial Dawn Sect is not as righteous as he acts,'' Aeon smiled. As the owner of the Celestial Dawn Realm, how could the Celestial Dawn Sect not know about the Monster Vines growing inside? Moreover, ording to the information provided by the Celestial Dawn Realm, these vines are all over the Bioluminescent Forests and all the Cultivators would encounter it, gaining the Monster Vine Seed. Since others don''t have the Systems, they won''t know about the Garden From. Moreover, the Companion Forms of the Monster Vines seem powerful and quite useful to the cultivators. Once they start nurturing the Monster Vines in their bodies, they can sense the location of the Companion Vines, making it easier for them to find the other cultivators. In short, the Celestial Dawn Sect would be watching everyone fight themselves and enjoy before making their move. ''Also, which cultivator won''t nurture the Monster Vines into Companion Vines?'' In the outside world, LegendGrade Items are already highly sought by all the cultivators, not to mention the Mythical Grade Items. What''s more, it was a Mythical Grade item that they earned the moment they entered the Celestial Dawn Realm. So, no one in his right mind would put aside the Monster Vine Seed where they could increase their strength by a little and once nurtured, they wouldn''t escape the fate of being hunted by others. ''Since it can sense the location of other cultivators, I should also nurture one inside my body.'' Although Ajax was interested in exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm to find the Divine Fruits required for his cultivation, he was also interested in finding other cultivators for the n he devised before entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''Anyway, ording to the information provided, there would be many Monster Vines in the Celestial Dawn Realm. The next second I find can be a perfect collection to my Divine Inner World.'' As for the Garden Form, Ajax was not worried about finding another Monster Vine Seed because half of the realm was filled with the Monster Vines and it was only a matter of time before he found another one. ''I am curious about the changes that happened to the Monster Vine once it was nted in the Divine World which was full of the Divine Essence of Nature.'' Since the Dusk Monster Vine Seed is a Mythical Grade Seed that could rapidly grow by devouring the other Same-Form Monster Vines, Ajax was expectant of its changes once nted in the Divine Inner World. Although there is a Divine Essence of Nature in the Celestial Dawn Realm, it was nowhere close to the Divine Essence of Nature of his Divine Inner World which was a Grade 1 Divine World. Nevertheless, Ajax was not in a hurry to nt it in the Divine Inner World; instead, he wanted to nurture the Monster Vine Seed in his body to find the other Cultivators close to him. ''Also, let''s summon everyone.'' Ajax didn''t forget about his followers sleeping in the Divine Inner World as he summoned them with a single thought. Along with them, he summoned all the Elemental Spirits and his Contracted Spirit Beasts. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, the area around Ajax was fully crowded as the summoned beings were pleasantly enjoying their first moments in the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''Swiish'' Sensing the appearance of so many lifeforms, the Monster Vines appeared out of nowhere and attacked everyone. ''Huh? Where did theye from?'' Ajax was the first one to react thanks to his Divine Senses and he was shocked at the sight of more than a thousand Monster Vines. Just a few moments back, he killed hundreds of Monster Vines if not thousands, and he carefully extended his Divine Senses to check whether there were more Monster Vines around him. However, he didn''t find a single one of them¡­they werepletely traceless. Now, with the sudden appearance of his followers, Elemental Spirits and the Contracted Spirit Beasts, more than a thousand of them appeared. ''First, let''s take care of them.'' Shaking his head, Ajax stopped thinking about it and ordered, "Kill them." That''s right! Ajax didn''t take action himself; instead, he ordered his followers because the Monster Vines were too weak for him to take action. However, except for a few followers, the others had to be a little careful when dealing with the Monster Vines. Also, the reason why he brought them into the Celestial Dawn Realm was for them to train. ''ng'' Although their senses were not on par with Ajax, they were not weak either as they easily blocked the first attacks of the Monster Vines. ''Hiss'' Just like how the Monster Vine became angry when its first attack was blocked by Ajax, the same thing was repeared by all the Monster Vines attacking his followers. What happened next was the appearance of more Monster Vines and the number of Monster Vines increased to hundreds of thousands¡­.close to million. ''sh'' ''w'' ''Burn'' Nevertheless, with Aron, Raweth and others, all the Monster Vines are taken care of within a few minutes. ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' Like before, all the bits of pieces of the Monster Vines fallen on the ground disappeared by turning into tiny light particles, leaving behind the Purple Seeds just like the one Ajax got earlier. ''Interesting. So, that''s how it works.'' Ajax, who observed everything, finally understood the mechanism of the Monster Vines. ''Anyone who enters the Celestial Dawn Realm who is sneak attacked by a Monster Vine and upon sessfully dodging or blocking it, theMonster Vine goes all out and attacks its target with its remaining vines.'' ''Upon chopping off all the vines, it leaves behind the Monster Vine Seed which was like a reward for that cultivator.'' ''In short, it was like a Wee Gift for the participant.'' Looking at the more than 1000 Purple Monster Vine Seed, Ajax''s eyes brightened.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Chapter 1973 Nurturing the Monster Vine Seeds Chapter 1973 Nurturing the Monster Vine Seeds ''Now, I can nurture the Monster Vine Seed in both forms without any dy.'' After collecting all the Monster Vine Seeds, Ajax had more than 1000 of them. However, he was not in a hurry to nurture them yet as he had some orders for his followers. "Raweth, Sparrow, Snow, Nova, bring 100 Elemental Spirits each with you and explore the Celestial Dawn Realm on your own." Since Ajax brought them for training, he nned to explore the Celestial Dawn Realm on their own; however, he added 100 Elemental Spirits to tag along with them. The Elemental Spirits won''t actively help them but would assist them if the matter goes out of their hand. As for the young members brought by Raweth others were responsible for protecting. "Yes, Master." Snow and others were more than happy to explore the realm on their own and quickly picked 100 Elemental Spirits. Raweth directly picked 99 Fire Elemental Spirits, along with Floris, the Flower Elemental Spirit and quickly left Ajax. Nova, the Mountain Lion Emperor picked 99 Earth Elemental Spirits, Lumin, the Light Elemental Spirit, Sparrow picked 99 Dark Elemental Spirits and one Ice Elemental Spirit that had healing abilities whereas Snow picked a mix of Water, and Wind Elemental Spirits along with the only Thunder Elemental Spirit. Once they selected the Elemental Spirits, they quietly left to find their own opportunities in this quasi-divine grade realm. "Father¡­." "As I said before, I will explore alone." Before Ajax could say anything, Aron said what he nned to do and Ajax had no problem with it. With his father''s battle prowess and techniques, even if he can''t overpower the enemy, escaping from them won''t be a problem. However, he asked his father to bring one of the Elemental Spirits with him so that they could reconnect andmunicate with each other. "Okay, I will leave now." Aron took a look at the Elemental Spirits and picked Volcanis who matched his personality before leaving. "Siora, what do you want to do?" Next, Ajax asked his life partner about her ns. "My purpose ofing here is to apany you and I want to continue to do it." Siora with a serious look, was clear that she wouldn''t leave Ajax alone. "Fine but what about your subordinates? If they tag with us, their battle prowess won''t improve much." Ajax wanted Siora to tag along with him and he didn''t have any ns to send her away; however, he teased her a little to see her reaction. "I already nned it." However, Siora replied with a mysterious smile as she gave a green flower bud from her hair to one of the forest elves she brought. "When they are in danger, by activating the flower bud, my projection with 90 percent of battle prowess wille out of the bud and protect them." Siroa exined the abilities of the flower bud she gave to her subordinate, making Ajax pleasantly surprised. "You have reallye prepared." Ajax bitterly shook his head as his ns to tease Siora utterly failed. Soon after, Ajax made a few more bnced teams consisting of the 100 Old Followers, Contracted Spirit Beasts and the Elemental Spirits, before sending them to explore the realm on their own. As for the Monster Vine Seeds, after thinking for a moment, Ajax decided not to give them the Monster Vine Seed as he nned to go all out in nurturing the two forms of his Monster Vine Seeds to the full extent. As for sensing their locations, Ajax could sense them through the contract he made with them and with the help of Prophis, he could instantly open the portal to their location. ''I will nt the Monster Vine Seeds before starting the exploration.'' After sending everyone, only Ajax and Siora were left in the spot that was heavily crowded earlier. Thus, Ajax decided to nurture the Monster Vine Seeds in both forms. First, in his Divine Spirit Consciousness and the second one in his Divine Inner World. Since System didn''t find any dangers in nurturing them, Ajax was not worried much about it as he directly swallowed the Purple Monster Vine Seed. ''Gulp'' As soon as the seed enteredAjax''s body went straight into his Divine Spirit Consciousness as though it was attracted by the Divine Essence of Nature. ''It looks exciting.'' When Ajax closed his eyes to sense the seed in his body, he sensed the Monster Vine Seed seemed excited and wanted to devour the Divine Essence of Nature from his Divine Spirit Consciousness. However, a mysterious energy appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the Monster Vine Seed, stopping it from devouring his Divine Essence of Nature. ''Ding, Detected a Mythical Grade Entity in the host''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. Do you want to nurture it or seal it? Before Ajax could think what was happening, the system had already sent the notification to clear his doubts. ''Nurture it.'' Since Ajax had already made his ns regarding the nurturing of the Monster Vine Seeds, he directly chose to nurture it. ''Swiish'' As soon as he finished his selection, the mysterious energy surrounding the Monster Vine Seed disappeared and the seed started absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature around it. The absorption rate of the Monster Vine Seed was very slow and Ajax guessed that it would absorb less than 10 units of Divine Essence of Nature for an entire day. ''Looks like I have to wait for the Seed to sprout.'' Ajax didn''t expect the sprouting would take so much time, making him a little disappointed. However, he didn''t think too much about it and decided to nt a Monster Vine Seed in the Divine Inner World. ''Enter'' With a thought, Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness entered the Divine World and along with him, he brought all the Monster Vine Seeds. In the vast Divine Inner World, Ajax randomly found a spot to nt a Monster Vine Seed. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''I wonder whether it would trigger any evolution requirements like the Heaven Essence Gather Trees?'' Suppressing his excitement, Ajax nted the seed and before he could pour some nt Essence, he received a series of system notifications, making his smile bigger. Chapter 1974 Evolutionary Requirements for the Monster Vine (Garden Form)) Chapter 1974 Evolutionary Requirements for the Monster Vine (Garden Form)) Previously, when Ajax nted the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree Seeds in his Divine Inner World, it triggered the tree''s evolution requirements. Once the tree fulfils all the evolution requirements, its grade will be upgraded to a Divine Grade Tree. However, it would take time, Ajax was confident in turning all six Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees into Divine Grade Trees. In the case of the Monster Vine Seed, even though it was below the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees, it was still a special type of Mythical Grade Tree. Thus, Ajax was expecting it to trigger the Evolution Requirements for bing a Divine Grade Tree just like the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Tree. Hence, Ajax was not shocked when he saw the series of system notifications appearing in front of him; instead, he was pleasantly surprised when he nted the Monster Vine Seed in the Divine Inner World. As for the system notifications, they are: ''Ding, Congrattions to the host for nting a Special-type of Mythical Grade Seed, the Dusk Monster Vine Seed in the Divine Inner World. ''Ding, Due to the special environment of the Divine Inner World, the Monster Vine Seed has triggered the Evolution Requirements for bing a Divine Tree. ''Ding, Do you want to check it? Unlike before, when he nted the Heavenly Essence Nurturin Seed, he nurtured it for a year before triggering the Evolution Requirements; however, the Monster Vine Seed triggered the Evolution Requirements the moment Ajax nted it. ''Maybe it was because of the special nature of the Monster Vine Seed.'' Although Ajax nted many trees, he didn''t have full knowledge of the nts and whatever the things he knew, he learned from the System. However, he guessed it was the special nature of the seed and checked the Evolution Requirements for the Monster Vine Seed. ''Ding, The three requirements for the Monster Vine for its evolution are: 1) 1000 Monster Vine Seeds from the Garden Form (Iplete). 2) One Billion Units of Divine Essence of Nature (100 units of Divine Essence of Nature collected so far). 3) One Divine Grade Fruit (Any type). ''Except for the first evolution requirement, the remaining two are the same.'' Looking at the three evolution requirements for the Monster Vine in front of Ajax, he could not help butpare them with the evolution requirements of the Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees. ''In a way, it makes sense to have simr evolutionary requirements.'' However, when he thought about it, Ajax was not surprised before having the two same requirements, considering the fact, that they were the evolution requirements for the ns to be the Divine nts. ''For others, collecting 1000 Monster Vine Seed might be a problem; however, I have already collected that much.'' Looking at the more than 1000 Monster Vine Seeds he had collected earlier, Ajax could not help but smile. Although it seemed quite easy for Ajax to get 1000 Monster Vine Seeds, it was not easy at all. Each participant entering the Celestial Dawn Realm would have a chance to get only one Monster Vine Seed and since Ajax brought so many of his followers and summons, he was able to get his hands on so many Monster Vine Seeds. Ajax already tried to find more Monster Vines through the senses; however, he was unable to see them. From this, he could tell that it was not easy to gain more Monster Vine Seeds from the Wild. ''The only way to get the Monster Vine Seeds will be from the other cultivators'' bodies; however, they would be Companion Form and can''t be used for my Garden Form Monster Vine. '' Ajax felt good for releasing all the summons and the followers as soon as he entered the Celestial Dawn Realm, which made him receive a good amount of Wee Gifts. ''Let''s use all the Monster Vine Seeds I have to nurture the Monster Vine.'' Ajax collected the Monster Vine Seeds to nurture the Monster Vine in his Divine Inner World and since it became one of the Evolutionary Requirements to be a Divine nt, Ajax was more than happy to use all the Monster Vine Seeds. ''Here'' ''Swoosh'' n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Ajax tossed the Monster Vine Seeds at the sprout that came out of the ground after absorbing 100 units of Divine Essence of Nature. Although the speed of the Monster Vine Seed in Ajax''s body was extremely slow, it was quite the opposite for the Monster Vine Seed in the Divine Inner World. It might be either because it was being nurtured in the Garden Form or because it was nted in the Divine Inner World that was brimming with a dense Divine Essence of Nature or it might be for both reasons. Ajax didn''t care about it as he only focused on nurturing the Monster Vine. ''Also, I can nurture more Monster Vines in their Garden Forms in my Divine Inner World, but I can''t upgrade them into the Divine nt.'' Ajax felt that having a single Divine Grade Monster Vine was countless times better than having hundreds of Normal Monster Vines. So, he strictly decided to nurture only one Monster Vine each in their two forms. One in the Companion Form in his body and the other in the Garden Form in his Divine Inner World. ''I wonder whether I can evolve the Companion Form Monster Vine in my body into a Divine Vine?'' While feeding the small sprouted monster vine, Ajax thought about the Monster Vine in his body. Since it was possible for the Garden Form Monster Vine, it will be possible for the Companion Form Monster Vine, right? This was what made Ajax motivated and tested his ideas by hunting down other cultivators. ''Ding, The host has fed more than 1000 Monster Vine Seeds to the Monster Vine in his Divine Inner World and sessfully fulfilled the first Evolution Requirement towards bing a Divine nt. Soon, Ajax received the system notification, making him nod his head. ''The first evolution requirement for all my to-be Divine nts has been done.'' Looking at the six Heavenly Essence Nurturing Trees and the Monster Vine, Ajax smiled a little. Chapter 1975 Revelation Chapter 1975 Revtion ''As for the remaining two evolutionary requirements, providing one billion units of Divine Essence of Nature was not difficult but it was just a time-consuming process.'' Ajax thought about the second requirement before focusing on the third requirement, "The most difficult one was finding the Divine Grade Fruits." To break through to the Mid-level Emperor Realm in his Divine Spirit Cultivation, he required 11 Divine Grade Fruits, and the six Heavenly Essence Nurturing Fruits required six Divine Grade Fruitsbined. Currently, Ajax needs lots of Divine Grade Fruits, and as the Monster Vine evolves, his need for Divine Grade Fruits has increased by another one. ''But, I already have a way to get 10 Divine Grade Fruits and I just need another 8 more Divine Grade Fruits.'' When he thought about the assassinationmission from the Heavenly Realm, Ajax could not help but reveal a relieved look on his face. ''Hopefully, I can find at least one Divine Grade Fruit in the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' Although it is detected that there was a Divine Essence of Nature in the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax believed there would be no more than one Divine Grade Fruit. Moreover, Ajax believed that the Celestial Dawn Sect wouldn''t be that generous to pick it even if he found it casually. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Hence, he thought finding at least one of the Divine Grade Fruits in the Celestial Dawn Realm would satisfy him. ''Anyway, let''s start exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' Inside the Divine Inner World, the nts would absorb the Divine Essence of Nature on their own at a steady pace without harming the quality and quantity of the Divine Essence of Nature in the world. Thus, Ajax was no longer involved in nurturing the Monster Vine Seed and decided to focus on the main goal, which was to explore the Celestial Dawn Realm. The Monster Vine Seed in his body was slowly absorbing the Divine Essence of Nature from Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness on its own, so Ajax did not need to worry about it. "Siora, let''s go." Ajax didn''t have a specific location to explore. So, he randomly picked a location to explore with Siora. He was not worried about not exploring the entire Celestial Dawn Realm because he had already nned it. ''Exploring the entire Celestial Dawn Realm is a must and should.'' Ajax didn''t want to have any regrets about not exploring the entire Celestial Dawn Realm and missing out on the Divine Grade Fruits if there were any. ¡­.. As Ajax just started exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm, all the participants who entered the Celestial Dawn Realm sessfully received the Wee Gift and they nted the Monster Vine Seeds in their bodies before starting their exploration. Every now and then, a few lucky ones would encounter the Monster Vines and the unlucky ones would encounter the powerful spirit beasts. Unlike Ajax who was able to gather his entire army at one ce, others were separated while entering the Celestial Dawn Realm. Thus, most of them were focusing mainly on regrouping while avoiding the powerful spirit beasts in the realm but killing the Monster Vines to get the Monster Vine Seeds. Even though they were not useful in nurturing the Monster Vine Seeds in their bodies, they still collected them because they are Special Mythcial Grade Seeds. If they were sold outside, they could recover their ticket price for this Celestial Dawn Realm. ''What the hell? Where are the supposed treasures?'' ''Other than the Wild Monster Vines that appear once in a while, I can''t find other treasures.'' ''Don''t tell me that the Celestial Dawn Sect already swept the entire Celestial Dawn Realm before we entered?'' . . . Some other participants focused on exploration right from the start to collect the treasures; however, even after a couple of hours, they only collected two or three Monster Vine Seeds by killing the Wild Monster Vines. Soon, they started doubting the Celestial Dawn Sect because no matter how righteous the top five sects looked, everyone knew how cruel they could be. ''I think it''s better to focus on nurturing the Monster Vines.'' After not finding anything even after a few hours, many cultivators decided to focus on nurturing the Monster Vines in their bodies. They believed that once they sessfully sprouted the Monster Vine in their bodies, they could find other participants. Fighting and killing was the fastest way to either get rich or get killed. With that thought in their minds, most of the frustrated participants focused on nurturing the Monster Vines. Although the Essence of Nature in the Celestial Dawn Realm is dense, no cultivator was interested in sitting and cultivating because they could stay in the Celestial Dawn Realm for only 7 days. At their current cultivation, seven days were not enough to make much progress. Thus, they decided to go robbing and killing. ¡­.. "Ajax, do you sense any Spirit Beasts or Monster Vines or Treasures?" Back in the middle of the Biolumiescient Forest, Siora asked Ajax with a frown. Unlike most of the participants, Siora has extraordinary senses¡­.especially in the forest because of her race. However, she was unable to find anything, making her quite frustrated and useless. In her view, Ajax had more extraordinary senses and thus, she asked him whether he could find anything. "No." Ajax shook his head, making Siora helpless. "I think we are fooled by the Celestial Dawn Sect." "What?" When she heard Ajax''s words, Siora was shocked, "How could that be? Isn''t the Celestial Dawn Sect the most righteous sect among the five top sects of the universe?" Although Siora was a peak Emperor Realm Cultivator, she was less than 20 years old, in fact, younger than Ajax. Moreover, the time she spent out of the Five Elemental World or even outside the Ancient Evergreen Forest was almost negligible. So, shecks real worldly knowledge and everything she knew until now was learned from her mother, the Standard World Tree, who emitted lots of things, thinking she was still very young for those things. Soon, Ajax exined some things he guessed from the moment he entered the Celestial Dawn Realm until now. Chapter 1976 Celestial Pillars Chapter 1976 Celestial Pirs "So, the Monster Vine Seeds is not really a Warm-Wee Gift but a trap set by the Celestial Dawn Sect." Once Ajax finished exining his thoughts, Siora was shocked. "If my guess is correct, the Celestial Dawn Sect has done something with all the treasures in the Celestial Dawn Realm." After exining the trap set by the Celestial Dawn Sect, Ajax shared his guesses: "To receive those treasures, we should nurture the Monster Vine Seeds in our bodies, and to do so, we have to kill other participants who are nurturing the Monster Vines in their bodies." These are all Ajax''s assumptions and he needs time to confirm them. Nevertheless, he still shared them with Siora. "T-then¡­are we going to kill everyone?" Siora asked Ajax in a weak voice. Although Siora was a peak emperor-level powerhouse with 50 percent ofawakening percent in her Divine Forest Rule and could kill most cultivators in the universe, she didn''t like killing. Of course, if someone tries to harm her or her family, she won''t hold back. "Let''s see." Ajax didn''t answer directly; however, Ajax didn''t think too much about it. Time continued to pass and it''s been more than six hours since everyone entered the Celestial Dawn Realm. Other than the Monster Vines, the participants encountered beasts where some unlucky participants were dead before they could regroup with their teammates. ''Rumble'' ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' Just when everyone was getting frustrated for not finding any valuable treasures in the Celestial Dawn Realms, they noticed white-coloured pirs with golden runes rising from the ground. "What are they?" Looking at the white golden run pirs, all participants had the same question on their minds. ''Wait¡­the Monster Vine Seed in my Spirit Consciousness, it has matured.'' Before they could think about the suddenly appearing pirs, all the participants who swallowed the Monster Vine Seed, noticed that it had finally sprouted. It was the same with Ajax as his Monster Vine Seed also sprouted in his Divine Spirit Consciousness. ''It looks like my assumption is right! The Monster Vine Seeds have something to do with those White Pirs.'' There were exactly a hundred White Pirs all over the Celestial Dawn Realm and luckily, there was one not far from Ajax''s location. [Celestial Step] ''Swoosh'' With a single step, Ajax brought Siora with him and appeared in front of that White Pir. ''Hm¡­should I touch it to trigger it?'' There was no exnation given by the Celestial Dawn Sect or the spirit of the Celestial Dawn Realm. So, there was no clue regarding what those Golden-runed White Pirs were. Hence, Ajax thought to touch them to see whether he would trigger some mechanism. ''Swoosh'' However, before he could do that, the sprouted Monster Vine in his Divine Spirit Consciousness flew out of his body on its own. ''Huh? Where do you think you are going?'' Despite the vine''s quick movement, Ajax was faster as he grabbed the small one-inch Monster Vine. ''Yi Yi'' The Monster Vine, obviously can''t speak or evenmunicate spiritually in its current form; however, he struggled to break free from Ajax''s hands, making sounds. ''Hm'' Ajax thought for a moment before releasing the Monster Vine to see exactly what it was trying to do. ''Swiish'' Once it became free, the Monster Vine excitedly flew into the White Pir¡­that''s right! It directly flew into the White Pir. [Congrattions to the participant for sessfully nurturing the Monster Vine and bringing it into the Celestial Pir] The moment the Monster Vine entered the White Pir, Ajax heard an Ancient Voice in his head, congratting him. ''...'' Ajax was only surprised for a moment to hear the Ancient Voice in his head and waited for the Ancient Voice to speak again. [As a reward, you can receive one of the following rewards] [1) A Greater World Core] [2) A Divine Rule Crystal] [3) 100-year Nurturing for the Monster Vine] Three options for the rewards appeared on the Celestial Pir in front of Ajax, asking him to pick one. A Greater World Core is extracted from a Greater World and it has many uses, and it is mostly used to increase the awakening percent of the Divine Rules by the cultivators. A Divine Rule Crystal can help a cultivator who hasn''t awakened any Divine Rule to awaken a Divine Rule and at the same time, its awakening percentage would be increased by anywhere between 1 to 10 percent, depending on the luck of the cultivator. When the cultivators with existing Divine Rules use it, one or two of their Divine Rules will be increased from 5 to 10 percent depending on the cultivator''s luck. ''I can skill the Greater World Core as I can easily get my hands on them.'' Generally, the cultivators would die for the World Cores and even if it was a smaller world core, they don''t want to easily give up, much less the Greater World Core. However, unlike them, Ajax can extract the world cores on his own and in this universe, there were countless worlds for Ajax to extract the world cores. Hence, he directly skipped the Greater World Core without thinking much. ''As for the second item, it was even more useless.'' Compared to the Greater World Core, the Divine Rule Crystal has less valuepared to the Greater World Core which has multiple uses. Ajax already has so many Divine Rules and all their awakening percent has been upgraded to beyond what he could currently use. The Divine Rule Crystals are only useful for the Divine Rules with an awakening percentage of less than 10 percent and clearly, they are useless to Ajax. ''As for the third reward, I am most interested in it.'' Since Ajax already realized the trap set by the Celestial Dawn Sect he could tell that the Monster Vines are very crucial in the Celestial Dawn Realm. Moreover, nurturing the Companion Formed Monster Vine through external means was extremely slow. Hence, Ajax decided to pick the third reward which was instantly nurturing his Monster Vine into a 100-year Monster Vine was a wise decision. ''The most important thing is, it is just the first reward for bringing the Monster Vine into the Celestial Pir.''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chapter 1977: Viny and Thorny Chapter 1977: Viny and Thorny ? When Ajax entered the Celestial Dawn Realm, he received a Wee Gift with minimal work whereas he received the reward from the Celestial Pir for doing absolutely nothing. The Monster Vine Seed sprouted on its own by absorbing his Divine Spirit Consciousness and it entered the Celestial Pir on its own and the one who is receiving the rewards is him. Of course, Ajax was happy about it and decided to take the reward that nurtured the Monster Vine for 100 years, hoping that his selection would earn him more rewards. ''Swoosh'' ''Cling'' As soon as Ajax finished his selection, the words on the Celestial Pir disappeared and sounds came from the pir. ''Swoosh'' After waiting a few minutes, a Purple-coloured Monster Vine flew out of the Celestial Pir and wrapped around Ajax''s arm. ''What? It''s already nurtured to 100 years old?'' Ajax was surprised to see the one-foot-long Monster Vine wrapped around his arm. Earlier, just for sprouting, it took nearly six hours and now, it didn''t even take a minute before it reached a length of one meter. Although Ajax knew it would be faster thanks to the Celestial Pir, he didn''t expect the process would not even take one minute. ''Master'' Amidst his surprise, Ajax heard a little girl''s voice in his head, giving him another pleasant surprise. It was because the voice belonged to the Monster Vine, wrapping around his arm. "You can alreadymunicate with me? Not bad." Even though it was only spiritmunication, Ajax was more than happy. ''Yes, Master. It is my first ability, the [Spirit Communication].'' The Monster Vine informed Ajax of the reason behind why it was able tomunicate with him. "Hm." Ajax was not surprised about Monster Vine unlocking an ability because most Mythical Grade Trees, including the special ones, do the same. [Participant, defends the Celestial Pir from other participant''s Monster Vine entering the pir] [As for the participants without the Monster Vine, they can''t get any rewards from the Celestial Pir and have to try their luck in the Celestial Dawn Realm] Once again, Ajax heard the Ancient Voice in his head, informing him about his task. ''As expected, to get the treasures from the Celestial Dawn Realm, the Monster Vine is the key. Although it was a little different from Ajax''s assumption, it didn''t change the main fact and it was ''Monster Vine is the Key.''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Did I make a mistake by not letting my subordinates nurture the Monster Vine?'' Suddenly, Ajax regretted his earlier decision because his subordinates had missed the free gifts from the Celestial Pirs. ''Should I order them to nurture the Monster Vine Seeds in their bodies?'' At the same time, he wondered about it. After moving along with Siora, Ajax have encountered four Wild Monster Vines, securing four Monster Vine Seeds. So, he believed that all his subordinates would have received at least one Monster Vine Seed each. ''Forget it. It will take at least six hours to nurture the Monster Vine Seed into a Sprout. By then, how many changes will happen in the Celestial Dawn Realm and to the Celestial Pirs?'' Ajax shook his head, rejecting the idea for multiple reasons. One of them was obviously that it would take six hours to sprout the Monster Vine Seed. It was not long; however, judging by the tasks issued by the Celestial Pirs, many things might happen within these six hours. Also, Ajax believed that the Celestial Pir would eventually make him initiate the fight with the other participants who were guarding the other Celestial Pirs. ''I hope they can find some treasures outside the Celestial Pirs and even if they don''t find anything, I will provide them with the cultivation resources as usual.'' Ajax was always generous with his subordinates and took care of his loved ones. So, even if they don''t find anything in the Celestial Dawn Realm, he could share his cultivation resources. ''Anyway, once we leave the Celestial Dawn Realm, I will enter the Dark Region which is filled with treasures, waiting for me to pick them.'' Except for the Divine Grade Fruits, Ajax mostly doesn''t have much use for other cultivation resources. Thus, he could give away all the cultivation resources he finds in both the Celestial Dawn Realm and the Dark Region. Compared to the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax has high hopes for the Dark Region which was not explored by any cultivators of the universe. Of course, many cultivators explored the outskirts of the Dark Region; however, no one entered beyond that, much less entered the depths of the Dark Region. "Anyway, let''s focus on the first task issued by the Celestial Pir." Putting aside his thoughts, Ajax focused on the current task. Since the reward options for just bringing the Monster Vine into the Celestial Pir were already good for an average cultivator, Ajax was curious about the other reward options where he had to actively work. Guarding the Celestial Pir from the other participants was not an easy task...at least not easy for the average Emperor Realm Cultivator; however, it was not hard at all for Ajax. What''s more, there is even Siora who could bepared to the elders of the top five sects or even more powerful than them. ''I wonder how much my Viny will grow by consuming the other Monster Vines.'' After a few moments, a group of cultivators rushed towards the Celestial Pir, making Ajax reveal a slight smile on his face. As for who Viny is, it was the Monster Vine that Ajax was nurturing in his body. He named it Viny and the Monster Vine in his Divine Inner World, Ajax named it Thorny because, in its garden form, the Monster Vine developed Thorns around it to protect itself from wild predators. ''I wonder whether Viny can devour and digest the iing Monster Vines directly?'' Although Ajax got the information about the Monster Vines, he hasn''t fed or witnessed how the Monster Vine devours other Monster Vines. So, he was curious about it. Nevertheless, he informed the Monster Vine wrapped around his arm, "Viny, therees a feast for you." Chapter 1978: Radiant Sun Sect Chapter 1978: Radiant Sun Sect ? ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Soon, a few participants rushed towards the Celestial Pir from various directions. Just like Ajax, they didn''t know the exact use of the Celestial Pirs; however, they knew it was useful. "Everyone, be careful. There is already someone at that White Pir." One of the rushing cultivators with good senses noticed Ajax and Siora and hurriedly warned his friends. "I saw them." Everyone noticed Ajax and Siora especially when they saw Siora, their eyes lit up. ''Huh? What''s wrong with my Monster Vine?'' ''My Monster Vine seems agitated too.'' ''It ising out of my body on its own.'' ''Swiish'' Before they could further continue their thoughts on Siora, the group of cultivators sensed the fluctuations in their Spirit Consciousness. ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' When they were less than a kilometer away from the Celestial Pir, the Monster Vines in their bodies flew out and rushed towards the Celestial Pir at an incredible speed. Unlike Ajax, these cultivators were a little slow to catch their Monster Vines as they flew towards the Celestial Pir. ''Gulp'' ''Swiish'' ''Swiish'' Unlike Ajax''s Monster Vine which was able to enter the Celestial Pir, these Monster Vines could not enter it. It was obviously because Ajax''s Monster Vine was on duty along with Ajax and Siora. There were a total of six Monster Vine Sprouts rushing towards the Celestial Pir and Ajax''s Monster Vine caught only one and devoured it. Once it devoured, Viny didn''t go after the other Monster Vines even though it wanted it. ''I think it wants some time to devour the Monster Vine it devoured.'' Ajax guessed in his head as he caught the remaining five Monster Vine Sprouts using his [Celestial Step] with ease. |||| The iing six Emperor Realm Cultivators were shocked by Ajax''s teleportation ability. ''Argh'' ''Cough'' The owner of the Monster Vine that was devoured by Viny groaned in pain and coughed a mouthful of blood. Although that participant was not in a critical stage, he looked visibly pale and without a doubt, his battle prowess was temporarily reduced by a great margin. In secret realms like the Celestial Dawn Realm, one could get killed before they even realize it, not to mention when someone gets injured like the paled cultivator. ''The bacsh for losing the Monster Vine is much greater than I expected.'' Not only the remaining five cultivators but even Ajax and Siora frowned when they noticed the condition of the cultivator whose Monster Vine was devoured by Viny. "If you don''t want to be an enemy of Radiant Run Sect, release our Monster Vines." After watching Ajax''s top-notch movement technique, the five cultivators didn''t want to fight Ajax anymore. At the same time, they didn''t want to back down without getting their Monster Vines back. Radiant Sun Sect is one of the top five sects in the universe which has an equal status to that of Celestial Dawn Sect and the Shadow Veil Sect. If Ajax killed these cultivators, even if there were no witnesses, their sect as one of the top five sects could easily find their killer and it was known to everyone in the entire universe. It was the main reason why even some powerful vagrant cultivators didn''t kill the youngsters of the top sects no matter how frustrated they were. Thus, they mustered their courage and used their backing to make Ajax release their Monster Vines. "What if I don''t?" As for Ajax, there was no way he would release the Monster Vines; in fact, their fates were sealed the moment they used their backing to threaten him. He had beenying low until now because of his insufficient strength; however, he was no longer afraid of anyone in this universe. Even if he can''t defeat someone, he can escape with ease and the other party can only watch. "You..." Ajax''s reply made the members of the Radiant Sun Sect furious. If they were not the disciples of the Radiant Sun Sect but the Elders of the Sect...the youngest Elders of the sect and they were hailed as geniuses. Using the sect name to threaten the other party was already quite embarrassing for them and now, the other party was not even giving the face for their sect. The Celestial Dawn Realm has a restriction that only cultivators below the age of 500 years could enter it. Although there were many disciples who were qualified to enter the Celestial Dawn Realm, the main goal of all the sects and the powers of the universe was to collect as many treasures as possible while killing other participants from the other sects and families. Thus, almost every power in the universe sent the strongest cultivators below the age of 500 and since the price of the tickets to the Celestial Dawn Realm was quite costly, they could not afford to send many of their cultivators. The reason why Ajax was confident that no one was his match in the Celestial Dawn Realm was because of this restriction. He believed that no one was more powerful than him below the age of 1000 years, much less 500 years. ''Of course, there might be someone who is holding some trump cards but that doesn''t mean I don''t have them.'' Ajax silently muttered as he waited for the cultivators to make their move. ''Looks like we have encountered a tough nut.'' ''Shall we go all out and kill him?'' ''What other choice do we have now?'' Except for the paled cultivator, the remaining five cultivators quickly exchanged voices andn/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om decided to fight their opponent to the death. "Attack" Once decided, they no longer hesitated and quickly entered into action. "Everyone,e out." ''Swoosh'' As the summoners, they didn''t rush to fight; instead, they summoned their Elemental Spirits, including the injured cultivator. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Each one of them summoned more than a dozen Elemental Spirits that were covered in mes. The Radiant Sun Sect is known for Sun and me-type Cultivation Techniques and the disciples it recruits must have an affinity with Sun and me Elements. They are the elders but their journey begins as lowly disciples of the Radiant Sect and as the youngest elders and genius of their generation, each one of them formed contracts with more than a dozen Elemental Spirits. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1979: Killing Begins Chapter 1979: Killing Begins ? In the universe, all humans can be summoners except for a few unlucky ones who don''t have an affinity with any element in nature. Each of these human cultivators, when a breakthrough in their cultivation realms, can enter the Elemental Spirit World to form an official contract with an Elemental Spirit within a limited time. However, at the same time, these cultivators could form unofficial contracts with the Elemental Spirits and there was no limit to these unofficial contracts. Generally, most human cultivators are barely able to contract an Elemental Spirit officially and are unable to form unofficial contracts with the other Elemental Spirits as they won''t have time. Nevertheless, there are always exceptions when ites to geniuses who have an affinity with one or multiple elements of nature. The Elemental Spirits in the Elemental Spirit World would actively find these so-called geniuses and don''t mind bing unofficial Elemental Spirits under them. As the geniuses who were able to be the youngest Elders of the Radiant Sun Sect, their affinity with the Sun and Fire elements was very high and thus, they were able to form unofficial contracts with more than 10 Elemental Spirits. Adding their 5 official Elemental Spirits, each of these six participants from the Radiant Sun Sect has summoned 15-18 Elemental Spirits each.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Together, there were nearly 100 Elemental Spirits with a cultivation of Emperor Realm, surrounding Ajax and Siora. "..." Ajax was momentarily surprised to see so many Elemental Spirits. It''s not like he hadn''t seen a group of 100 Elemental Spirits in one ce; instead, he was not expecting the six cultivators to summon nearly 100 Elemental Spirits. "Summon your Elemental Spirits if you don''t want to die with regrets." Seeing that look on Ajax''s face, one of the cultivators unknowingly became courageous after seeing 100 Elemental Spirits surrounding Ajax. The rest of them also started bing less afraid of Ajax''s top-notch movement technique. Other than Elemental Spirits, they also have some other trump cards, making them feel that they could take care of Ajax. "As expected of the participants sent by a top sect." Ajax shook his head and replied with a calm look on his face. || Now, it was the six cultivators'' turn to get surprised as they were not expecting Ajax to remain calm without any intentions to summon his Elemental Spirits. ''Wait a second...why is he not summoning his Elemental Spirits?'' ''Is he confident to take care of the current situation by himself or....'' ''Or he doesn''t have the Elemental Spirits to summon.'' ''What? How is that possible?'' The six cultivators hurriedlymunicated through the voice transmission and at the end of their conversation, they were shocked. ''Why is it not possible?'' ''Now, everything makes sense. He must have awakened a rare movement-type body constitution.'' ''That''s right! With his low-level Emperor Realm cultivation, how can he move like that?'' ''That must be the reason behind his movement'' Finally, the little bit of their unknown fear towards Ajax disappearedpletely as they became confident and eyed Siora with perverted eyes. When ites to bing a Summoner, very few humans can''t be and they are considered unlucky in a way. However, just like there are two sides to a coin, there were few advantages for these human cultivators who can''t be Summoners. One of them was, that these so-called unlucky individuals were awakening a Special Constitution. Unlike the Innate Body Constitutions, these Special Body Constitutions were a lesser version of them. They help the Cultivators in their cultivation and other things depending on their Special Body Constitution. Some of them increase the cultivation speed of the cultivator in special environments like Moonlight, Sunlight, Starlight, Volcanoes, Water and so on. Whereas some Special Body Constitutions give additional boosts to the cultivation techniques they cultivate. These are not limited to cultivation but even the professions associated with cultivation like Alchemy, Talisman-Making and many more. Nevertheless,pared to being a Summoner, having a Special Body Constitution was not advantageous unless it was an Innate Body Constitution. Of course, given the two choices, many cultivators still prefer being a Summoner because one can form an Elemental Spirit Squar along with gaining five official skills. Hence, when the cultivators from the Radiant Sun Sect noticed that Ajax was not summoning Elemental Spirits and adding to Ajax''s previous movement technique, they believed that Ajax was not a Summoner. "I wanted to let you live for a few more moments but I lost interest in you." [Celestial Step] [Quicksilver Cyclone des] Ajax disliked how they were looking at Siora and no longer wasted any time talking to them. He used one of his Quasi-God Official Skills gained from all his Wind-type Elemental Spirits. . ''Swiish'' ''sh'' "What?" "T-these des.... they are piercing through Legend-Grade Armour." "Elemental Spirits......Block these des for me." Amidst the shocked looks on the faces of the cultivators, hundreds of razor-sharp wind des rushed towards them. ''Puchi'' ''Kacha'' ''Thud'' The cultivators didn''t expect Ajax to make a move suddenly. Despite that, the cultivators were able to bring out their defensive equipment and one of them even used his Elemental Spirits to block the iing wind des; however, in front of the Wind des made up of Divine Essence of Nature, nothing was able to protect the cultivators. From start to end, it only took 10 seconds for Ajax to release the Wind des and the cultivators'' chopped bodies to scatter on the ground. ''Battle Beasts,e out.'' Looking at the body''s pieces on the ground, Ajax summoned his 1000 Battle Beasts to consume the corpses of the cultivators he just killed. Battle Beasts are the King Realm spirit beasts that have reached their maximum potential and were created by the Special Formation. Although they didn''t have the Emperor Realm Cultivation, their battle prowess can be equivalent to a newly ascended Emperor Realm Cultivator. ''I wonder whether there will be any changes to them by feeding lots of Emperor Realm Beings.'' Ajax always used the Battle Beasts to clear the corpses in his battles, hoping to see an evolution in the Battle Beasts. Soon, one hour passed by as Ajax killed 10 more cultivators and sessfully finished the first task issued by the Celestial Pir. ''It''s reward time.'' Chapter 1980: Celestial Cultivation Chamber Chapter 1980: Celestial Cultivation Chamber ? ''It''s reward time'' The Celestial Pir gave Ajax the first task: to stop the other cultivators'' monster vines from entering the pir. The task duration was only one hour and with Ajax''s powerful Quasi-God Official Skills along with his Emperor Realm Cultivation in the Divine Spirit Cultivation, it was quite easy for him toplete it and he had sessfullypleted it. During the past one hour, Ajax took care of nearly 20 participants including the six from the Radiant Sun Sect and got 20 Monster Vine Sprouts. His Monster Vine, Viny, was enjoying the feast, devouring one Monster Vine Sprout after another, making Ajax quite expectant of its growth after consuming all the vines. Before that, Ajax was curious about the reward he would get from the Celestial Pir forpleting his task. [Congrattions to the participant for sessfully dominating the Celestial Pir for an hour] As usual, there was a congrattory announcement from an Ancient Voice in Ajax''s head. [As a reward, you can receive one of the following rewards] (1) A Greater World Core x3] (2) A Divine Rule Crystal x 3] [3) 500-year Nurturing for the Monster Vine] [4) A Standard World Tree Seed] [5) One Hour in Celestial Cultivation Chamber] [More Information about the Celestial Cultivation Chamber will only be avable after it is selected] Soon, rows of lines appeared on the Celestial Pir, asking Ajax to pick a reward. ''Not only are the rewards better than before but there are two more extra choices to select the rewards from.'' Ajax was a little surprised to see five options appear on the Celestial Pir as he started checking them out while Siora kept an eye on their surroundings. The rewards are much better than I expected but still, only two caught Ajax''s eyes. For Ajax, Greater World Cores and Divine Rule Crystals are not hard to get, so he directly skipped those two. ''I already have enough World Trees and no need for additional World Tree Seeds.'' If it was any other cultivator, they would have been excited to see the Standard World Tree Seed; however, Ajax has a Higher World Tree in his Divine Inner World along with multiple Standard World Trees in his worlds. ''500-year Nurturing for the Monster Vine and One Hour in Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' The only two rewards that attracted Ajax''s eyes were these two. The first one is obvious, which instantly increases the age of his Monster Vine, Viny from 100 to 500 years. Although the chances of awakening a new ability were very low, Ajax knew it was very important to nurture his Monster Vine in the Celestial Dawn Realm. He believed there was a reason why there was such a reward rted to the Monster Vine. ''At the same time, I am curious about the Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' Ajax was curious about the final reward on the list. ''I can increase the age of the Monster Vine by letting it consume the other monster vines and check out this so-called Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax felt that choosing the Celestial Cultivation Chamber was the right thing to do and there were multiple reasons behind his selection. One of the reasons was Ajax wanted to check out whether it was a good reward or not. If it was a bad reward, it would suffer a slight loss; however, if it was a good reward, going forward, he could skip it. Depending on the reward choices, Ajax feels that the same reward choices will continue to appear when hepletes the subsequent tasks from the Celestial Pir. Hence, if the Celestial Cultivation Chamber is a good reward, it will only be a better reward in the future. In short, Ajax could select a better reward when hepleted the subsequent tasks which would only get more valuable. ''If my guess is, there will be Divine Essence of Nature inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber and with my cultivation speed, I can do that.'' At the same time, Ajax nned something and hoped that the Celestial Cultivation Chamber wouldn''t disappoint him. ''I want to enter the Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' Once Ajax made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and directly chose it. ''Swiish'' As soon as he selected, more rows of lines appeared on the Celestial Pir, giving out more details regarding the reward he had just chosen. When Ajax was making the selection, there was hardly any information about the Celestial Cultivation Chamber and only by selecting it as a reward, he could get more information about it. Actually, the ''Note'' below the Celestial Cultivation Chamber was also one of the reasons that made Ajax curious enough to select it.N?v(el)B\\jnn [The Celestial Cultivation Chamber is a Special Cultivation Chamber inside the Celestial Pir where the Essence of Nature is infinite and pure] [One minute outside the Celestial Pir is One hour inside the Celestial Pir. Hence, it won''t affect the Cultivator from his subsequent tasks] [During that one minute, the Celestial Pir will be sealed and the other cultivators can''t let their Monster Vines enter it. It is to make the Cultivator cultivate in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber in peace] There was lots of information and most of it, Ajax had already guessed except for three things. One, the Essence of Nature is infinite which was not within Ajax''s expectations as there is always a limit to everything. Of course, Ajax was not worried that the Celestial Pir only mentioned the Essence of Nature and not the Divine Essence of Nature because, in this universe, there was no cultivator who could absorb the Divine Essence of Nature. The divine Essence of Nature is for those who ascended to the Heavenly Realms. The second thing is the time difference between the Celestial Dawn Realm and the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''Now, it might be only one hour; however, from the subsequent rewards, it might increase to 10 hours or even 100 hours.'' Ajax was extremely satisfied with this time difference. The third thing, was the protection of the Celestial Pir while he was inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ****** Author''s Note: 1) There will be a 10 Chapter Mass Release on 16th Dec. 2) Increase Ajax''s Poprity in the On-Going Character Event. 3) Thank you for all the support despite my incredibly SLOW releases. Chapter 1981: Celestial Cultivation Chamber (2) Chapter 1981: Celestial Cultivation Chamber (2) ? When Ajax was inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber which was inside the Celestial Pir, Siora could easily protect him; however, protection by the spirit of the Celestial Dawn Realm was much appreciated by Ajax. [Do you want to start the next task or do you want to enter the Celestial Cultivation Chamber?] Amidst Ajax''s thoughts, another row of text appeared on the Celestial Pir, asking him for his choice. ''I want to enter the Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' There was nothing much for Ajax to think about as he directly made the choice. Ajax wanted to experience the Celestial Cultivation Chamber first so that he could confidently decide whether to choose a simr reward from his subsequent tasks or not. [The participant will be teleported to the Celestial Cultivation Chamber in a few moments] [Once you return, the next task will be updated] Soon after, there were another two rows of text on the Celestial Pir, making Ajax nod his head in understanding. "I will be back in a minute." ''Swiish'' Ajax quickly informed Siora about the Celestial Cultivation Chamber before disappearing without a trace. ---- ''Swoosh'' Ajax opened his eyes to a golden pir that was submerged in shining water. As far as Ajax''s eyes could see, he waspletely surrounded by the shining water. ''T-this...is this the Divine Essence of Nature in its liquid form?'' Sensing the familiar feeling from the shining water around the pir, Ajax was extremely shocked because the shining water was none other than the Divine Essence of Nature and not just the Essence of Nature. The Divine Essence of Nature in this space called the Celestial Cultivation Chamber was so thick that it was condensed into liquid form and when Ajax realized this, he was delighted. ''Since I have only one hour to stay here, I should make full use of this Special Chamber.'' Suppressing his emotions, Ajax hurriedly sat cross-legged and circted his Godly Cultivation Technique, Dragon Soaring the Nine Heavens. ''Ding, The host is in a Divine-type Cultivation Space. The host''s cultivation speed will be boosted by 10,000 times. Before Ajax could even start his cultivation, the system informed the special effects of the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''10,000 times?'' Ajax was expecting it to be around 1000 times; however, when he saw his cultivation speed was boosted by 10,000 times, it gave him another shock. ''Let''s go all out and make full use of this Divine-type Cultivation Space.'' He smiled a little and didn''t hold back in using his other auxiliary trump cards. ''Divine Jade Rule, activate.'' Among his Divine Rules, the Divine Jade Rule is focused on increasing his Cultivation Speed and thus, Ajax activated it. ''Ding, The host has activated the Divine Jade Rule. Your cultivation speed will be boosted by 100 times for the next one hour. ''Divine Jade Rule-Jade Essence Burst, activate.'' Ajax didn''t stop with activating his Divine Jade Rule but he even activated the Divine Skill linked to the Divine Rule, to further boost his cultivation speed.N?v(el)B\\jnn ''Ding, Due to the effects of the Jade Essence Burst, the host''s cultivation speed will be further boosted by 10 times for the next half an hour. ''Ding, Currently, the host''s cultivation speed is 1,000,000 times. For the first time, Ajax''s cultivation speed reached a whopping one million times faster than his regr cultivation speed. ''Since the Cultivation Pir said that there is infinite Essence of Nature, I can fully execute my ns.'' Even before Ajax could see the effects of the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, he was extremely satisfied with the temporary cultivation speed he had achieved. ''Swiish'' Everything was done while Ajax was circting his Cultivation Technique as the golden light particles entered Ajax''s body at an incredible speed. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature. Soon, there was a system notification in his head, informing Ajax regarding his absorption rate. ''100 million units of Divine Essence of Nature? Which means my regr speed is 100 units per minute.'' Without the boosts, Ajax''s regr cultivation speed was nothing and i t was a speed with his God-Grade Cultivation Technique. Of course, if there were other cultivators, their regr cultivation speed would be much higher than Ajax''s; however, unlike Ajax, what they required for their cultivation was the Regr Essence of Nature. A regr cultivator in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber would greatly benefit in his cultivation whereas Ajax has additional requirements for his breakthrough. However, still, Ajax was extremely satisfied because he could finally fulfil some of his ns which he initially thought would take a long time. ''First, let''s upgrade the capacity of the Divine Spirit Consciousness to 100 million units.'' The capacity of Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness was already close to 100 million units and thus, Ajax decided to upgrade it to a round-figure of 100 million units. It took only five minutes for Ajax to achieve his first goal as he focused on his second goal. ''Since I have depleted 100 million units of Divine Essence of Nature of my Divine Inner World, it is time to refill it.'' Earlier, when helping his 100-year-old followers turn into Divine Body Cultivators, Ajax had to use 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature from the Divine Inner World. Given some time, the Divine Inner World could recover these 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature on its own, Ajax wanted to refill it as quickly as possible, so that he could borrow the Divine Essence of Nature from the Divine Inner World again in the future. ''Ding, The host has diverted the iing Divine Essence of Nature into the Divine Inner World. It only took one minute to refil the Divine Inner World''s Divine Essence of Nature that he borrowed earlier. ''Now,e to the most important goals.'' Once Ajax finished two goals for entering the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, he focused on his third and main purpose for entering the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''It is time to fulfil the second requirement for the Quasi-Divine nts in my Divine Inner World.'' With a slight smile on his face, Ajax focused on the seven Quasi-Divine nts in his Divine Inner World. ***** Help: Please vote for Ajax and increase his poprity in the ongoing character event. Chapter 1982: Celestial Cultivation Chamber (3) Chapter 1982: Celestial Cultivation Chamber (3) ? In Ajax''s Divine Inner World, there were six Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees and a Monster Vine (Garden Form). These nts have already fulfilled one of their three evolutionary requirements for bing divine-grade nts. The second requirement for evolving these nts required Ajax to supply them with one billion units of the Divine Essence of Nature. It was not a hard requirement, but it required some time because one billion units of the Divine Essence of Nature was not a small amount for Ajax. His Divine Inner World has a limit of One billion Units of Divine Essence of Nature and of course, he could not use it unless he wanted to destroy it. However, thanks to the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, Ajax could easily supply one billion units of the Divine Essence of Nature for each of these seven wannabe Divine nts. ''Even with the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, I can''t supply the Billion Units of Divine Essence of Nature to all seven nts but I might have more opportunities to enter this Divine Grade Cultivation Chamber again.'' Ajax did a rough calction and focused on his main goal of entering the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. [Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens] ''Swiish'' ''Among the seven nts, my first choice will be Monster Vine, Thorny.'' Ajax silently muttered while circting his cultivation technique. Even though the benefits from the Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees are higherpared to the Monster Vine, Ajax still gave the first preference to the Monster Vine. Since the Monster Vine in Companion Form could enter the Celestial Pir and seems to be the key for the trials in the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax wanted to see whether he could benefit from the Monster Vine in Garden Form. Moreover, even if he chose the Monster Vine as his first preference, he could still fulfil the second evolutionary requirement for at least two more Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and supplied 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to the Monster Vine, Thorny. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to the Monster Vine, Thorny. ''Ding, The host... Soon, time continued to pass and in a sh 10 minutes passed by as Ajax supplied the Monster Vine in his Divine Inner World. ''Let''s continue and check the changes in the Monster Ver.'' While cultivating, Ajax could partially shift his attention to think; however, he could not check the changes in the Monster Vine. Since he didn''t want to waste any time in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, Ajax fully focused on cultivation. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and supplied 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to one of the Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and absorbed 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature into one of the Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees. ''Ding, The host... After supplying the required Divine Essence of Nature to the Monster Vine, Ajax supplied the next batch of one billion units of Divine Essence of Nature to the Heavenly Essence Gathering Trees. By now, Ajax spent 26 minutes inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber andpleted the second evolutionary requirement for the Monster Vine and one Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree. ''Continue.'' Ajax continued and focused on the second Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree. ''Ding, The host has cultivated for a minute and supplied 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature to one of the Heavenly essence-gathering Trees . ? ''Ding, The Divine Skill [Jade Essence Burst] has entered into a cooldown. The cultivation boost from the skill will be removed. ''Ding, Currently, the host''s cultivation speed is 100,000 times. After exactly four minutes, Ajax received an expected system notification, making him bitterly smile; however, he still continued to circte his cultivation technique. ''For this second Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree, I still need 600 million units of Divine Essence of Nature but I can absorb 300 million units for the next half an hour before leaving the Celestial Cultivation Chamber.'' Ajax did the calctions for his future ns. The remaining half an hour of his cultivation session in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber was quite fast. Cultivation was always boring; however, when cultivating in the special spaces, no cultivator was bored.N?v(el)B\\jnn What''s more, they wanted to cultivate more and Ajax was also the same; however, the time hase for him to end his cultivation in a sh. ''Although I have spent only one hour inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, it is only one minute in the outside world and the gains this time are much more than I expected.'' Ajax thought about his gains to elevate his mood of leaving the Celestial Cultivation Chamber; however, it only made him even more reluctant. [The cultivation session in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber hase to an end] [The cultivator will be teleported out of the Celestial Cultivation Chamber] [Please check the details of your next task as soon as you return] The familiar ancient voice resounded in Ajax''s head as he disappeared from the pir he was standing on, in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ... ''Swiish'' Outside the Celestial Pir, Siora was resting on a lotus flower that was surrounded by a light green barrier. In front of her, more than a dozen corpses of the spirit beasts were lying with their heads separated. In Siora''s hands, more than a dozen monster vines were wriggling as they struggled to break free from her hand. However, how could those monster vines that are less than a meter in length could escape from her? At thest minute, seeing that Ajax had disappeared and Siora alone, many of the re- cultivated Spirit Beasts that entered the Celestial Dawn Realm attacked her. However, these Spirit Beasts from the Dragon Region didn''t know that Siora was as powerful as Ajax; in fact, Siora''s Divine Wood Rule had reached an awakening percentage of 51 which was much higher than the awakening percentage of Ajax''s Divine Rules. ''When Ajaxes, he will be pleasantly surprised.'' Siora was expecting a surprised look on Ajax''s face when he returned from the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ******* HELP: Vote for Ajax and increase his poprity. Chapter 1983: Celestial Pillars Second Task Chapter 1983: Celestial Pir''s Second Task ? Other than human cultivators, various spirit beasts and demons entered the Celestial Dawn Realm by buying tickets from the Celestial Dawn Sect. Most of the spirit beasts that entered the Celestial Dawn Realm were geniuses who could be re-cultivated back to the Emperor Realm. However, when they were killed by Siora, they reverted to their original beast form. Sitting a little distance from the corpse, Siora patiently waited for Ajax. ''Swoosh'' In no time, Ajax finished his cultivation secession of one minute in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''What?'' As expected, when Ajax appeared in front of the Celestial Pir, he was shocked to see the corpses. He was not shocked at the fact that Siora was able to take care of them; instead, he was surprised at the number of participants that appeared within just a single minute of his absence. Although he spent one hour inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, only one minute has passed in the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''The more thates after my pir, the more beneficial it would be for my Viny.'' Ajax silently thought to himself and was not worried about Siora at all because he knew exactly how strong she was. "My Wifey is very powerful. I will be in your care from now on." Ajax praised Siora and asked her to protect him. "You don''t need my protection." Siora was happy to hear Ajax''s praise; however, she didn''t forget to state the obvious. Siroa didn''t give any time for Ajax to reply as she swore, "From now on, I will fight and you watch from the sidelines." "You..."N?v(el)B\\jnn Ajax wanted to say something; however, he swallowed his words and agreed when he saw the serious look in Siora''s eyes. Other than being with Ajax, Siora wanted to gain experience by venturing into the outside world. All her life, she spent in the Five Elemental World and since she had a high cultivation and powerful cultivators, she has basically zero fighting experience. Initially, she thought she could fight all out while apanying Ajax; however, Ajax has even more powerful subordinates than her and even Ajax is so powerful that she barely has a chance of fighting. Therefore, Siora decided to make Ajax watch from the sideline while she fights the enemies they encounter from now on. As for Ajax, other than agreeing with her, there was nothing he could do about it because he believed that Siora needed battle experience. Without it, no matter how high her cultivation was, she would be easily defeated by others. ''If she can''t handle her opponents, I can always help her.'' This was what Ajax thought in his head as he watched the new rows of text on the Celestial Pir. [The second task of the Celestial Pir: Destroy at least one Celestial Pir other than the one owned by you, within an hour] [The reward for the task will be multiplied by the number of the Celestial Pir destroyed within the given time] ''Next task is quite interesting and will be rewarding as long as Iplete it properly.'' Looking at the details of his new task from the Celestial Pir, Ajax was excited because it was a task that Ajax liked a lot. For him, the tasks where the rewards are stacked or multiplied depending on his performance were excellent types of tasks. As for destroying other Celestial Pirs, Ajax could not wait to do it. ''But what about my Celestial Pir? If I leave my Celestial Pir, the owners of the other Celestial Pir will also rush to destroy my mine, right?'' Ajax raised his brows when he realized the problem that lies in this new task. By now, everyone haspleted their first task and even started the second task while Ajax was cultivating inside the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''Huh?'' Amidst his thoughts, Ajax noticed more rows of text appear on the Celestial Pir, making him frown even more. [During the second task, while trying to destroy the Celestial Pirs belonging to the others, you have to protect your own] [If you can''t destroy at least one Celestial Pir within an hour or your Celestial Pir gets destroyed, you will die] ''The difficulty of the second task has suddenly increased from normal to Death.'' Ajax frowned only for a moment before he started thinking about it and soon, he understood some things that he was not clear about earlier. ''I am sure that all the powerful cultivators that entered the Celestial Dawn Realm have be the owners of the 100 Celestial Pir and now, with the second task, they are going to eliminate almost everyone.'' As for the other cultivators, many of them got killed earlier by the owners of the Celestial Pirs. ''After this round, I wonder how many Cultivators will be alive?'' Ajax shook his head and could not help but p the intelligence of the Celestial Dawn Sect. ''I made the right decision by not letting Snow and others nurture the Monster Vine; otherwise, with their strength, they could have easily be the Owner of the Celestial Pirs and in the next, the Celestial Pirs would have made us fight one another.'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he thought about his decision back then. Although there would have been no problems for the second round, the subsequent rounds would only be more difficult and dangerous. So, Ajax felt relieved. ''Anyway, let''s focus on the current task.'' Shaking his thoughts, Ajax shifted his attention to the second task. "Siora, can you protect this Celestial Pir while I destroy the other Celestial Pirs?" Ajax didn''t think much and decided to put Siora in charge of his Celestial Pir while he visited the other Celestial Pirs. "I will take care of this one." Siora was beside Ajax and read the details of the second task of the Celestial Pir along with him and didn''t hesitate to be the guardian of Ajax''s Celestial Pir. "Are you sure? The ones that will being for my Celestial Pir are the top geniuses of the universe?" "I said leave it to me." Siora confidently answered Ajax and quickly sent him away as she raised her senses to the maximum. Chapter 1984: Special Divine Rule Chapter 1984: Special Divine Rule ? ''Someone ising.'' A few moments after sending Ajax away, Siora, with her heightened senses sensed a group of cultivators and the re-cultivated Spirit Beasts. ''[Divine Fire Rule], activate.'' ''[Divine Wind Rule], activate.'' ''[Divine Water Rule], activate.'' Unlike the previous batch of opponents, the newly arrived ones didn''t hold back as they directly activated their Divine Rules before they could reach Siora. "Hehe" Siora took a casual look at the iing cultivators and roughly counted them. The Emperor Realm Cultivators who activated their Divine Rules would be so powerful that even a High-level Emperor Realm Cultivator would be defeated if he or she didn''t activate their Divine Rules. Therefore, when the iing cultivators saw that Siora was not activating her Divine Rule, they became confident that they could defeat Siora easily, no matter what kind of trump card she had. "I hate to kill a beauty...." ''Puchi'' ''Boom'' One of the cultivators reached Siora and was about to kill her whilementing; however, before he could finish his sentence, a small seed entered his head and made his head explode like a watermelon. ''What?'' Seeing the blood scene in front of them, the rest of the cultivators were shocked. They would not have been shocked by such a scene if Siora had activated her Divine Rule; however, she was able to kill a Cultivator who activated his Divine Rule without activating her Divine Rule. "Everyone, be careful." One of the cultivators warned his teammates as he looked for an opportunity to kill Siora in a single go. ''Divine Forest Rule, activate.'' After taking care of one cultivator by surprise, Siora knew she could not take down everyone without her Divine Rule. Thus, she activated her Divine Forest Rule. ''Swoosh'' In the next second, Siora felt an unending surge of power inside her, making her feel like she was an immortal with absolute strength. "T-this..." "Damn it...she awakened one of the special Divine Rules." "What did you expect from a Forest Elf then?" "Run for your lives." Once Siora activated her Divine Forest Rule, the cultivators around her could sense the changes and at the same time, they even felt suppressed by the aura released by her. Divine Rules are ssified into many types and one such type was Normal, Special, Rare and Epic or Mythic type of Divine Rules. Divine Rules like Divine Fire Rule, Divine Water Rule, Divine Wind Rule and such basic Elemental Type Divine Rulese under the Normal Divine Rules. They can be easily awakened by the cultivators and at the same time, the progress of their awakening percentage was rtively easierpared to the other Divine Rules. Under the Special Divine Ruleses the Divine Rules that are a little hard to awaken and only the cultivators belonging to certain special races can awaken them. For example, Elves can awaken the Divine Forest Rule or Divine Wood Rule, Jade Dragons can awaken the Divine Jade Rule, Demons can awaken the Divine Demon Rule, and beasts can awaken the Divine Bestial Rule. Of course, not all Elves, Dragons, Demons and Beasts can awaken these Divine Rules but only certain special ones also known as lucky ones can awaken them and Siora was one such lucky Forest Elf. Even among those who entered the Celestial Dawn Realm, less than 10 percent have awakened the Special Divine Rules. From this alone, one could tell exactly how hard it is to awaken the Special Divine Rule much less Rare and Epic Divine Rules. As for the Rare and Epic Divine Rules, they are very rare and hardly anyone in the Universe has awakened and even if someone awakened it, they can''t brag about it unless they want to be hunted by others. As the young geniuses in their own worlds, they could tell that Siora had awakened a Special Divine Rule and the awakening percentage was not less than 30 percent. The moment they realized that Siora''s Divine Rule was not only a special one but even had a high awakening percentage, they didn''t hesitate to give up on fighting her. Even though they were all around 300-500 years old, their lifespan was more than 10000 years. So, they are young and considered geniuses for bing High-level Emperor Realm Cultivators. Thus, they valued their lives more than anything and when they encountered an enemy that was more powerful than them, they didn''t hesitate to escape. ''Escape? Do you think you can escape from me?'' [Wood Maniption] Coming out of her pleasant surprise of boosting from the Fluorescent Forest she was in, Siora activated one of her regr skills and the surrounding fluorescent trees started moving. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Since there were so many trees around them, it became impossible for the cultivators to escape from Siora and eventually got captured by the moving fluorescent trees. What happened next was nothing surprising as they became sitting ducks for Siora to kill. ''10 more Monster Vines for Viny to consume.'' Siora trapped the Monster Vines belonging to the cultivators she took care of and stored them aside for Viny''s consumption. In the distance, a ck-coloured small fox was watching everything while sitting on a fluorescent tree. Of course, with Siora''s battle prowess and senses, she knew about the small fox watching and lightly smiled. ''Swoosh'' ''As expected of her [Divine Forest Rule], there is no one who could defeat her in this forest.'' While rushing towards the nearest Celestial Pir, Ajax learned about the situation that Siora just handled and patted the Four-eyed Ghost Fox on his shoulder. Although he was confident about Siora''s battle prowess and skills, Ajax wanted to be prepared in case of anything unexpected.N?v(el)B\\jnn Since they were in the Celestial Dawn Realm and the Celestial Dawn Sect had nned something big to kill everyone who entered the Celestial Dawn Realm, Ajax wanted to be careful. Thus, he left behind a Ghost Fox clone to get regr updates on what was happening with Siora. ''She is handling her mission perfectly and now, I have toplete my task to the best of my ability.'' Ajax focused on the huge Celestial Pir in the distance and became excited. ******** Note: 12 hours left for Ajax''s Poprity to rise. Please vote for Ajax. Chapter 1985: Oblivion Quake Abyss Chapter 1985: Oblivion Quake Abyss ? The Celestial Pir in the distance looked exactly like the one he was guarding earlier. Before Ajax could go there, a group of cultivators was already fighting the owner of the Celestial Pir. However, the owner of the Celestial Pir easily fought the group and even nced at Ajax during his fight. ''I wonder which force he belongs to.'' Looking at the young man fighting nearly 10 cultivators, Ajax wondered for a moment. ''Forget it. Let''s not waste any time and destroy as many Celestial Pirs as possible.'' If there were no time limit for the second task issued by the Celestial Pir, Ajax would have chatted with everyone for a while. However, since there was a time limit and he was trying to get as many rewards as possible, Ajax didn''t want to waste any time. ''Which skill should I use?'' Although the group in the distance activated their Divine Rules, Ajax didn''t have any ns to use his Divine Rules. Not because he was arrogant, but because he was confident that his skills were just enough to take care of these cultivators.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om It was because his skills were not normal skills but Quasi-God Skills which were equivalent to Normal Divine Rules with 30 percent of awakening. Also, even if someone with Special Divine Rule can be killed if he is not careful enough when Ajax uses his Quasi-God Skills. Others struggle to fight whereas Ajax struggle to select which skill to fight. ''Let''s go with Earth-type Skill.'' After thinking for a moment, Ajax found a perfect skill to not only finish the cultivators in a single go but he could also destroy the Celestial Pir with it. [Oblivion Quake Abyss] ''Step'' Once Ajax selected his skill, he didn''t even get close to the Celestial Pir and standing around 300 meters away, he directly activated his Quasi-God Official Skill with a mighty step. ''Swoosh'' ''Rumble'' ''Kacha'' Suddenly, the growth beneath his feet shook violently as huge cracks appeared and spread in every direction with Ajax as the center. ''What''s happening?'' ''Is it an Earthquake created by the Celestial Dawn Realm?'' ''No...look there. Someone has created it.'' ? Thanks to the sudden appearance of the violent earth, the fighting hase to an abrupt halt. Since the Earthquake started from Ajax''s feet, and unlike others, Ajax was standing without worry, he was easily noticed by others. "If I was not running on time, I would have chatted with you...." Looking at the panic-stricken faces of the cultivators including the owner of the Celestial Pir, Ajax spoke with a sad look on his face. ''Aargh'' ''What kind of fire is this?'' ''Aargh'' However, before he could finish his words, the dark abyss fire swallowed those cultivators, making Ajax even sadder. As someone who rarely had encounters with other geniuses, Ajax wanted to have a brief chat and exchange some moves. But, the Celestial Pirs were forcing him not to waste his time with such talks with the other participants of the Celestial Dawn Realm. Those cultivators didn''t even get the chance to use their prepared trump cards before getting killed by the abyss fire. ''Rumble'' Not just the cultivators, even the Celestial Pir copsed and was destroyed by the abyss of fire. ''Kacha'' ''Swiish'' Once the cultivators and the Celestial Pir disappeared, the cracked ground beneath Ajax''s feet moved together and reverted to its peacefulnd without any traces of the Celestial Pir or the Cultivators who were busy fighting each other. ''Looks like condensing the power of the [Oblivion Quake Abyss] within a 1-kilometer radius is more powerful than I imagined.'' From start to end, it''s been less than half a minute and even Ajax was shocked at the power of the [Oblivion Quake Abyss]. Although he awakened this skill for a while, he only used it two times since awakening in the Floating Ind. However, back then, he was in destruction mode and set the destruction to the maximum radius which was 100 kilometers. But now, he set the destruction radius to only one kilometre and obviously, it increased the damage of the skill. ''I need more battle experience to gauge the power of my Quasi-God Official Skills.'' Ajax muttered to himself before focusing on the current issue, ''Does it count as my achievement?'' Ajax was worried whether the destruction of the Celestial Pir was counted as his achievement or not. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' As Ajax was wondering whether to continue destroying the Celestial Pirs or does he still needed to do something to im the achievement, he saw a two-meter Monster Vine fly out of the ground. ''Swiish'' It flew towards Ajax at an incredible speed and along with it, a small white-coloured stone also flew towards him, making Ajax raise his brows. ''Do you think you can enter my body just like that?'' Ajax easily stopped the iing Monster Vine which obviously belonged to the owner of the Celestial Pir he just destroyed. That monster vine tried to enter Ajax''s body to rece Viny and be his newpanion vine. ''Although you are much older than my Viny, I can''t let you rece it.'' Just as the Monster Vine was 200+ years old, Ajax didn''t want to rece it with his 100+ years old Viny. After consuming a couple of monster vines, Viny''s age has increased to 130 years old and since Ajax had already named it and bonded with it, he didn''t want to rece it. As for the age difference, Ajax could let Viny devour this more than 200+ years Monster Vine and speed up its growth. ''Even if there is no 100 percent devouring efficiency, there would be at least 50 percent, right?'' Ajax was curious about it and started feeding his opponent''s monster vine to his monster vine. ''What about this Stone?'' Unlike the aggressive Monster Vine, the White Stone didn''t try to rush into his body; instead, it hovered in front of Ajax as though waiting for him to pick it up. [Congrattions to the Participant for sessfully destroying your opponent''s Celestial Pir] The moment Ajax picked it, he heard the familiar ancient voice of the Celestial Dawn Pir in his head, congratting him. ****** Thanks for Voting for Ajax and increasing his Poprity. Chapter 1986: Destrcution Continues Chapter 1986: Destrcution Continues ? ''Phew'' Ajax heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the congrattory announcement in his head by the Ancient Voice. With the destruction of the Celestial Pir, he had finallypleted the task; however, the rewards will be issued only at the end of the one-hour time limit set for the task. Moreover, during his remaining time, Ajax could either protect his Celestial Pir or he could continue to destroy more Celestial Pirs to increase his rewards. It was already mentioned when the Celestial Pir was issuing the second task and Ajax had already made the n on how toplete his second task. ''Since Siora is already protecting the Celestial Pir, I can focus on destroying more Celestial Pirs.'' The rewards from the Celestial Pir were quite good and he could increase his rewards, Ajax was quite excited about it. ''If only the other Monster Vines from the cultivators I killed, it would have greatly helped Viny to increase its age.'' Looking at his Monster Vine devouring the Monster Vine that was double its size, Ajax hoped for the other Monster Vines to rise from the ground too. However, he knew that he was asking for more. So, he shook his head and decided not to think about those Monster Vines anymore. ''It''s time to speed up the process.'' Given that it was quite easy for Ajax to destroy the Celestial Pir, he obviously wanted to destroy as many Celestial Pirs as possible within the given time limit. Thus, he decided to speed up his mission to destroy the Celestial Pirs. [Aetherial Wind Cloak] To increase the speed, Ajax obviously used one of his Quasi-God Official Skills. [Celestial Step] Adding to the Celestial Step, it only took a few seconds for Ajax to reach the next Celestial Pir. Just like the previous Celestial Pir he destroyed, cultivators were fighting around it. ''Let''s burn this Celestial Pir.'' Like before, Ajax didn''t waste his time with any talk and directly attacked with another one of his Quasi-God Official Skills. [Purgatory''s Embrace] ''Swiish'' Once Ajax activated the skill, hundreds of units of the Divine Essence of Nature disappeared from Ajax''s Divine Spirit Consciousness. On the other hand, outside his body, a raging ring of hellfire materialized with Ajax as the center and a radius of only one kilometer just like how he used his earlier Quasi-God Official Skill, the [Oblivion Quake Abyss]. When condensing the range of the damage from 100 kilometers to one kilometer, the power of the skill will be increased by a huge margin and no matter whether the Cultivators activated their Divine Rule or not, they can''t defend against it. It was also the reason why Ajax was confident in not using any of his Divine Rules as he saved them for thetter where he had an assignment toplete after leaving the Celestial Dawn Realm. ''Boom'' Those cultivators fighting around the Celestial Pir didn''t have any time to dodge the sudden attack released by Ajax. Before they realize it, the Essence of Nature from their Spirit Consciousness evaporates like water and what follows next is their blood and body, leaving only ashes.N?v(el)B\\jnn As for the Celestial Pir, it was also turned to ashes, leaving behind a white-coloured stone that slowly flew to Ajax. [Congrattions to the Participant for sessfully destroying your opponent''s Celestial Pir] [Number of Celestial Pirs destroyed: 2] Soon, he received the familiar announcement from the Ancient Voice in his head. Additionally, the Ancient Voice said another line, regarding the total number of Celestial Pirs he destroyed. ''Good.'' Ajax was satisfied with those announcements as he saw the White Stone in his hands disappear just like the previous one. ''What about the Monster Vine?'' After that, Ajax didn''t rush to the next Celestial Pir, instead, he waited for the Monster Vine belonging to the owner of the Celestial Pir. ''Don''t tell me that I burned that Monster Vine to ashes?'' Although Ajax turned all the cultivators into ashes, Ajax thought that the Monster Vine wouldn''t turn into ashes from his earlier experience. Previously, despite its owner being devoured by the Abyssal Fire from his [Oblivion Quake Abyss], the Monster Vine still flew out of the ground. Hence, Ajax came to the conclusion that no matter what he did, the Monster Vine belonging to the Celestial Pir would be unharmed and woulde to him to be his newpanion. "Looks like you won''t get any...." Looking at his Monster Vine that was still devouring the previous 200+ years Monster Vine, Ajax shook his head. ''Swiish'' However, before he could finish his sentence, Ajax noticed a slight movement from the Celestial Pir''s ashes, alerting his senses. ''Swiish'' Soon, he saw a familiar 200+ years Monster Vine fly at him at an incredible speed, only to get captured by Ajax. ''My guess is correct. The Celestial Pir protects the Monster Vines.'' Ajax became happy to guess it right and kept it aside before rushing towards the next Celestial Pir. His Monster Vine, Viny has still notpleted its previous meal and thus, Ajax didn''t provide another high-level meal. After a few more moments, Ajax reached another Celestial Pir and easily destroyed it and gained another High-level Monster Vine. Ajax continued to do it for the next one hour and destroyed nearly 30 Celestial Pirs. Except for destroying Five Celestial Pirs, Ajax didn''t use his Divine Rules and the ones guarding these Five Celestial Pirs were obviously belonged to the top-notch geniuses of the universe. One of them was guarded by a group of Shadow Veil Sect members, where Ajax used the Divine Thunder Rule which falls under the Rare Divine Rule and was quite effective against their Divine Dark Rule. The second one was guarded by the Sacred Heavenly Sect''s Core Disciples. Against them, Divine Dark Rule against their Rare Divine Sacred Rule. However, thanks to his Divine Body Cultivation and the Divine Spirit Cultivation, Ajax overpowered that bunch of cultivators and destroyed their Celestial Pir. The remaining three were owned by the forces belonging to the Dragon Region. They are Greater Fire Dragons, Greater Frost Dragons and Greater Poison Dragons. **** Ajax needs more poprity to enter the Semi-Finals. Please increase his poprity. Chapter 1987: Second Task [Completed] Chapter 1987: Second Task [Completed] ? The dragons were more powerful than the human cultivators, and since each of these Dragons was considered a genius in their worlds, Ajax took a little more time than the Celestial Pirs guarded by the Human Cultivators. ''I think I better go back now.'' The time given for his second task would be finished in a few more minutes. Hence, Ajax wanted to return to his Celestial Pir for the rewards. ''Swoosh'' ''Swoosh'' Since his Quasi-God Official Skill [Aetherial Wind Cloak] was still active, Ajax was not worried about the dy. ''Ding, The host''s Monster Vine, Viny, has fully devoured a 220-year-old Monster Vine and sessfully reached 1000 years old. While rushing towards his Celestial Pir, Ajax received a system notification regarding his Monster Vine. ''Finally, it became a 200-year old Monster Vine after devouring ten 200+ years old Monster Vines.'' Checking the system notification, Ajax smiled. Once Ajax began his mission of destroying the Celestial Pirs, he sessfully destroyed 30 Celestial Pirs and gained 30 Monster Vines belonging to the owners of those Celestial Pirs. Among them, half of the Monster Vines are 200 years old. Clearly, their owners chose the reward of instantly growing their Monster Vines to 200 years old unlike Ajax, who chose the Celestial Cultivation Chamber.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Of course, the other cultivators chose the Greater World Core to be the owner of the Celestial Pir and chose the Celestial Cultivation Chamber as the reward forpleting their first task issued by the Celestial Pir. Ajax stored those Monster Vines away and only fed the 200+ years old Monster Vines to his Monster Vine and due to theck of high devouring efficiency, Viny had to eat 10 such Monster Vines to sessfully increase its age from 150 to 1000 years. Anyway, Ajax was happy that it had finally reached 1000 years old because he knew that it was time for the Monster Vine to awaken its second ability. ''Ding, The host''s Monster Vine is awakening its second ability. ''Ding, The system suggests the host feed his Monster Vine with more Monster Vines to increase the chances of awakening a good Second Ability. ''I can affect the awakening of its second ability?'' Ajax was not surprised that his Monster Vine was awakening its second ability; however, what pleasantly surprised him was that he could increase its probability of awakening a good ability. Previously, the Monster Vine awakened its first ability, [Spiritual Communication] upon reaching 100 years and now, its age has reached 1000 years and the ability is already much better than its first ability. So, how could Ajax be not excited when he could manually affect its chances of awakening a good second ability? ''I still have 5 Monster Vines with ages about 250 years and another 15 with above 150 years.'' ''Moreover, by now, Siora might have collected many Monster Vines.'' Ajax quickly took out all the Monster Vines and started feeding his Monster Vine, Viny. Unlike before, the feeding this time was much faster; however, the Monster Vine, Viny''s age was not increasing at all; instead, all the energy from the Monster Vines was focused on awakening its second ability. ''That might be the reason why its devouring was much faster.'' Seeing the crazy devouring speed of his Monster Vine, Ajax quickly linked it to the awakening of its second ability. ''Before it finished devouring all the Monster Vines, I should reach Siora.'' ording to the system, the more Monster Vines are fed to Viny, the better the Second Ability would be and thus, Ajax wanted to feed as many Monster Vines as possible to hispanion Monster Vine. [Celestial Cloud Step] ''Swoosh'' Together with his movement cultivation technique and the Quasi-God Skill, Ajax returned to his Celestial Pir in less than a minute. "It''s time for you to sleep for eternity." By now, Siora had already killed so many participants and she was still ying with some. Seeing that Ajax had returned, she no longer wasted any time and quickly took care of them and collected their Monster Vines. "How many Celestial Pirs did you destroy?" After taking care of the attackers, Siora expectantly asked Ajax. As someone who has seen Ajax''s true battle prowess in the Floating Ind, Siora knew that it was a child''s y for Ajax to destroy the Celestial Pir. Thus, she asked how many Celestial Pirs he destroyed instead of asking whether he destroyed any Celestial Pir. "Take a guess." Ajax didn''t answer her; instead, he took the Monster Vines from Siora and asked her to take the guess. While waiting for her reply, Ajax fed the newly collected Monster Vines to his Viny, letting it devour. "25?" Siora thought for a moment and said a number that she felt was right! "Close." Ajax smiled and without keeping her in suspense, he revealed, "30. I have destroyed 30 Celestial Pirs and if not for the time limit, I would have destroyed all the Celestial Pirs." If someone heard his words, they would feel that Ajax was overboard in his bragging; however, Siora didn''t doubt it and believed it. Soon, Ajax shared more details regarding his mission of destroying the Celestial Pirs while waiting for two things. 1) For the Monster Vine to finish the awakening of its second ability. 2) For the Second Task''s one-hour time limit toplete so that he could receive the rewards for his one hour''s hard work. Time continued to pass and thest few minutes passed by without any surprise as both the things Ajax was waiting for, finally got finished. [Congrattions to the participant forpleting the second task of the Celestial Pir within an hour] ''Ding, Congrattions. The host''s Monster Vine has sessfully awakened its Second Ability. Two notifications, one from the Ancient Voice belonging to the Celestial Pir and another one from the system, both came at the same time, giving him double happiness. ***** Help: Vote for Ajax in the character''s section. Less than 10 hours for the FIRST ROUND to get finished. Need more than ONE MILLION Poprity for Ajax. Thank you. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1988: Generous Rewards Chapter 1988: Generous Rewards ? ''Let''s check the rewards from the Celestial Pir first.'' Even though Ajax was curious about his Monster Vine''s second ability, Ajax wanted to get the rewards from the Celestial Pir quickly. This time, he had destroyed 30 Celestial Pirs when he was only required to destroy one Celestial Pir. So, Ajax was more curious about the rewards from the Celestial Pir. Hence, Ajax looked at the Celestial Pir where rows of text started appearing. [The participant has destroyed 30 Celestial Pirs. The rewards will be calcted ordingly] The first row already made Ajax smile as he focused on the reward options. [The rewards forpleting the earlier task are as follows:] (1) A Divine World Core X1] [A world core belonging to a Divine World that could greatly help the cultivator in increasing the awakening percentage of his Divine Rules] (2) A Rule Breaking Crystal x3] [A special item that can break the limits of the awakening percentage of the Divine Rules on the cultivators'' bodies by 10 percent] [3) Awakening of Divinity in the Monster Vine] [With this, the cultivator''s Companion Vine has the chance to evolve into a Divine Monster Vine and ascend to the Heavenly Realms along with the cultivator] [4) A Higher World Tree Seed] [The highest grade of World Tree below the Heavenly Realms and it is believed that nurturing the tree for one million years will evolve into a Divine World Tree. [When it evolves, it would ascend to the Heavenly Realm while bringing its nurturing along with it to the Heavenly Realm] [5) 100 hours in Celestial Cultivation Chamber] [100 minutes in the Celestial Dawn Realm but 100 hours of cultivation session in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber where the Celestial Pir will be protected for those 100 minutes] [Due to the exceptional performance of the Participant during the second task, he can pick any three rewards from the above list] Soon, the list of five rewards appeared on the Celestial Pir and unlike before, there was clear information about each one of those rewards. ''T-this...'' When he read the rewards and their information, Ajax was pleasantly surprised at the generous rewards provided by the Celestial Pir. However, when he read thest row of the text, Ajax was thoroughly shocked because he was not expecting that he could pick not one but three rewards from the list. That''s right! Instead of one reward like before, Ajax was given the option to pick three rewards from the list which was entirely because of his exceptional performance of destroying thirty Celestial Pirs. ''When I was reading the rewards, I was in a dilemma on which one to choose; however, now, I am no longer worried.'' Coming out of his shock, Ajax chuckled with great excitement. How could he not be excited? Upgrading the rewards but making him pick only one was, actually not a good thing but a cruel thing to do. However, now, he got to pick three things from the upgraded rewards and of course, he was over the moon. ''It would be quicker if I eliminate the things I have the least usepared to the other things.'' Without wasting any time, Ajax started eliminating the two things that he found least useful among the five rewards. ''The first reward is obviously the least useful one for me.'' Ajax didn''t have to think much as he directly eliminated the first option because he could easily extract the world cores and merge them into Divine Cores. For other cultivators, Divine Cores are the most valuable things; however, for Ajax, they are the least valuable whenpared with other rewards from the list. ''For me, the Rule Breaking Crystals are the most useful ones. There is no way, I won''t pick them.'' Generally, a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator can only awaken his Divine Rule by 10 percent, a mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivator can awaken by 30 percent and a High-level Emperor Realm Cultivator can fully awaken it. Of course, it won''t be that. The 10 percent and 30 percent of awakening for the low and mid-level Emperor Realm Cultivators are the limitations that they could not exceed and even if they force themselves to awaken, the additional awakening percentage would be sealed just like how Ajax''s Divine Rules awakening percentage was sealed beyond 30 percent. Of course, Ajax was still a low-level Emperor Realm Cultivator; however, he was both Divine Body Cultivator and the Divine Spirit Cultivator, making his body stronger and thus, he could use the Divine Rules with the awakening percentage of 30. Any further would make his body explode despite his Special Cultivation Paths. ''However, with these Rule Breaking Crystals, I can use an additional awakening percentage of 10 than what my body can bear without any problem.''n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om If Ajax had only one option to select, he might have chosen this option because it would instantly make him a lot more powerful than he currently was. ''The third reward is rted to Monster Vine awakening a Divinity. Of course, I want it too.'' In his Divine Inner World, Ajax has already started working on turning the Garden Formed Monster Vine into a Divine Vine and now, with this reward, he could turn his Companion Formed Monster Vine into a Divine Vine. ''With two Divine Monster Vines, my battle prowess would reach the next level.'' Anything that has reached the Divine Level would greatly help him. So, Ajax decided to pick it. ''High World Tree Seed. This can be eliminated as I already have a Higher World Tree in my Divine Inner World.'' ''Moreover, if I really want more Higher World Trees, I can nurture them myself from the Lesser World Trees.'' Since Ajax has nurtured his current Higher World Tree from a Lesser World Tree and nurtured many Standard World Trees and even Higher World Trees before, he was confident in doing it more. Ajax didn''t think much and eliminated it just like how he eliminated the Divine World Core in the beginning. ''However, there is interesting information that even the system didn''t know about the Higher World Tree.'' There was something that caught Ajax''s eye when he read the information about the Higher World Tree which made him curious. Chapter 1989: Rule Breaking Crystal Chapter 1989: Rule Breaking Crystal ? So far, Ajax has nurtured many World Trees while evolving them from Lesser World Trees. The Higher World Tree is in his Divine Inner World, and the Standard World Trees are in his various worlds like Purple Stone World, Dwarven World, Elven World, and the Five Elemental World. He even helped the Greater Forest Dragon by evolving three Standard World Trees into Higher World Trees. Despite having done many things rted to the World Trees, Ajax found something he didn''t know in the information provided by the Celestial Pir. ''A Divine World Tree can ascend to the Heavenly Realm and bring its nurturer.'' This was the information that even the system didn''t know. ''It looks like there are other ways to ascend to the Heavenly Realm other than blindly focusing on cultivation.'' Ajax thought about the other ways to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and could not help bute to this conclusion. Previously, Ajax heard about a myth rted to the Sentient mes, which was that one could ascend to the Heavenly Realm by undergoing body tempering with 100 Sentient mes. Other than that, there were other myths, like refining a Divine-Grade Weapon, a Divine - Grade Pill, or a Divine Rank Formation. However, they are all myths and there was no record of anyone achieving the ascension through these methods. ''Nurturing the World Tree to the Divine World Tree might be one of such myths and since the Celestial Pir provided the information, it might be true along with those other myths I have heard in the past.'' All these myths rte to cultivation professions like Alchemy, Weapon Refining, Formation Creation, and Spirit Farmer. ''Although it might seem easy, anything that has ''Divinity'' cannot be easily created or nurtured. So, it is no wonder all those things remain as Myths.'' Though it provides an alternative solution for the cultivators to ascend to the Heavenly Realms, it is not really an easy thing to achieve. Instead, they could just focus on cultivating unless they are geniuses in these professions. It was better not to waste their time on Myths. ''However, I think I can try discovering the truth behind another Myth.'' Ajax was already pursuing the goal of undergoing body tempering with 100 sentient mes, so adding another goal wouldn''t be a big deal for him. Moreover,pared to Sentient mes, nurturing a Higher World Tree into a Divine World Tree seemed rtively much easier for him. That''s right! Among all the myths besides the Sentient mes, Ajax decided to follow the Path of Nurturing and Evolving the Divine World Tree. As for other myths like Refining the Pills or Weapon or creating a formation, Ajax decided not to waste his time on them as he felt they were the most difficult things to achieve. ''Although I am an Alchemy Emperor, to create a Divine Rank Pill, I need a Divine Rank Pill Recipe and even if I have it, I need Divine Rank Ingredients which are very difficult to find.'' As for Weapon Refining and Formation Creation, Ajax didn''t have much talent and he had to start those professions from the beginning which would be very time-consuming. ''I can pursue these professions after I ascend to the Heavenly Realm.'' Others might not be able to do it; however, Ajax could do it with the help of his system. ''Anyway, let''s think about these after leaving the Celestial Dawn Realm.'' Ajax felt he was thinking too much about the Myths and decided to focus on the current things. Thus, without wasting any time, he directly picked the three rewards he wanted from the list shown on the Celestial Pir. [The participants have received the following three rewards] (1) A Rule Breaking Crystal x3] (2) Awakening of Divinity in the Monster Vine] [3) 100 hours in Celestial Cultivation Chamber]n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om [The Participant will be teleported to the Celestial Cultivation Chamber in a minute] Thest reward didn''t need much exnation for Ajax as he could spend 100 hours in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, which could help him greatly. 100 hours in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber but only 100 minutes in the Celestial Dawn Realm and during these 100 minutes, his Celestial Pir would be protected by the Celestial Spirit. ''Swoosh'' First, three white and gold, dual-coloured crystals appeared in Ajax''s hand. They were none other than the Rule-Breaking Crystals. ''Swoosh'' Second, the Monster Vine which had just awakened its second ability, rushed into the Celestial Pir toplete its awakening of Divinity. It was the second reward. ''Let''s test the Rule Breaking Crystal and see how effective it is.'' Since he still had one minute left, Ajax decided to quickly use one of the Rule-Breaking Crystals before entering the Celestial Cultivation Chamber. ''Kacha'' Taking one Rule Breaking Crystal out, Ajax crushed it, and soon, a mysterious energy was released from it. ''Swoosh'' It didn''t enter his body; instead, it formed a thinyer around it before merging into his skin and disappearing without a trace. ''Ding, The host has used the Rule Breaking Crystal. Please select a Divine Rule for which you want to break the limit of the awakening percentage. Soon, a system notification appeared, asking him to select a Divine Rule. ''System, show me my Divine Rule along with their Awakening Percentage and sealed awakening percentage.'' Ajax didn''t make the selection; instead, he asked the system to disy his Divine Rule and the system followed his order. ''Ding, 1) Divine Thunder Rule (30 percent) (30 percent seal). 2) Divine me Rule (30 percent) (58 percent sealed). 3) Divine Dark Rule (30 percent) (50 percent sealed). 4) Divine Death Rule (30 percent) (30 percent sealed). 5) Divine nt Rule (30 percent) (25 percent sealed). 6) Divine Jade Rule (30 percent) (50 percent sealed). 7) Divine Demon Rule (30 percent) (40 percent sealed). ''There are only four options to select from.'' Ajax looked at the list of Divine Rules; however, he could break the awakening limit for only four of them. ''Which one should I select?''
